All right, guys, the Cowboys now 13 00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:02,040 Speaker 1: all right six and ten football team officially with the 14 00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:06,240 Speaker 1: tenth overall pick in the draft. It is you. What 15 00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:10,080 Speaker 1: is your off season priority? Number one? Danny mccram start 16 00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:14,600 Speaker 1: with you. Now you already know my top off season priority, 17 00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:18,800 Speaker 1: especially if we're talking about draft picks. I am going 18 00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:22,200 Speaker 1: straight finding a way to get me a left tackle, 19 00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:25,319 Speaker 1: to sure up my offensive line and get these guys 20 00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:27,760 Speaker 1: back to playing the football that got us to those 21 00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:31,319 Speaker 1: playoff runs and got us almost to the to the championship. 22 00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:33,839 Speaker 1: You know, Bez did catch it. They changed the rule, 23 00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:36,679 Speaker 1: but that's when we were really really making some moves 24 00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:38,840 Speaker 1: and we were able to run the ball and people 25 00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:41,640 Speaker 1: were really fearing our offensive line. So I'm doing whatever 26 00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:43,520 Speaker 1: I can to share that up, and then for the 27 00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:46,360 Speaker 1: rest of the draft, I'll focus on defense and free agency. 28 00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:48,400 Speaker 1: I get us some defensive picks to re up this 29 00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:52,080 Speaker 1: defensive backfield and a defensive line, but I'm going offensive 30 00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:59,520 Speaker 1: line first. Wow, Okay, all right, Look mean, there's so 31 00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:02,240 Speaker 1: many different scenarios here, because y'all know how I feel 32 00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:05,240 Speaker 1: about the whole quarterback position. And if my guy falls 33 00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:07,120 Speaker 1: back to ten, you know, you know how I feel 34 00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:09,600 Speaker 1: about that. So let's just say that scenarios out the gate. 35 00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:11,560 Speaker 1: Let's just say he's gone before he gets to ten. 36 00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:13,040 Speaker 1: So we're not We're not even going to open that 37 00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:17,040 Speaker 1: cookie shell. But for me, there's two positions that we 38 00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:20,160 Speaker 1: need to make a priority this offseason, and I think 39 00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:22,240 Speaker 1: it has to do with the drafting. We're talking specifically 40 00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:24,760 Speaker 1: draft the two positions I think we need to make 41 00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:27,320 Speaker 1: a number one priority for us is one the defensive 42 00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:30,600 Speaker 1: tackle position, the interior position, and in the cornerback position 43 00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:33,040 Speaker 1: with a de tackle position. I mean, we got, we got. 44 00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:35,000 Speaker 1: I don't think Crawford is going to be back. I 45 00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:37,680 Speaker 1: sincerely doubt that Crawford is going to be back. And 46 00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:40,520 Speaker 1: I know that Tristan Hill, he's shown that he's on 47 00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:42,000 Speaker 1: the come, that he's on the way up there and 48 00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:44,880 Speaker 1: he can be considered a starting defensive tackle, but he's 49 00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:46,880 Speaker 1: coming off an ACL injury and we don't know how 50 00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:48,880 Speaker 1: he's going to respond to that going into the season. 51 00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:51,000 Speaker 1: So for me, I think we need to pair somebody 52 00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:53,880 Speaker 1: up there with Neville Gallimore who can make plays in 53 00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:56,720 Speaker 1: the backfield as well as hold up the offensive line. 54 00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:58,680 Speaker 1: I mean, what we've seen so far this year, well 55 00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:00,800 Speaker 1: not so far. What we've seen this year was that 56 00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:02,799 Speaker 1: there was too many times where the offensive line was 57 00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:04,760 Speaker 1: able to get to that second level and affect our 58 00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:07,680 Speaker 1: linebackers and affect Jalen Smith and Vander ash back there. 59 00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:09,480 Speaker 1: So if we get a defensive tackle in there who 60 00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:12,320 Speaker 1: cannot only make plays, but can hold his own against 61 00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:14,720 Speaker 1: offensive lineman, forcing them to take care of him and 62 00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:16,600 Speaker 1: letting our linebackers go side to side, I think that 63 00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:19,760 Speaker 1: will help improve our defense a ton. Now, the second 64 00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:21,440 Speaker 1: option I think we need to go for in this 65 00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:24,320 Speaker 1: draft is the cornerback position. I would have said safety, 66 00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:26,320 Speaker 1: but to me, I think we have a playmaker back 67 00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:28,600 Speaker 1: there in Wilson, and we need a veteran guy to 68 00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:31,000 Speaker 1: pair with him back there. Not somebody like a Simmons, 69 00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:33,680 Speaker 1: not somebody in free agencies that's gonna cause a million 70 00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:35,760 Speaker 1: bucks and three hundred and fifty million bucks. We need 71 00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:38,760 Speaker 1: somebody that's back there, who's reasonably priced, who can be 72 00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:41,160 Speaker 1: a team friendly deal and get these guys lined up. 73 00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:42,960 Speaker 1: So I'm not going to go safety as far as 74 00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:44,480 Speaker 1: a draft, but as far as a draft, I want 75 00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:46,760 Speaker 1: to go corner. We need somebody to pair with Diggs. 76 00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:49,600 Speaker 1: I love Diggs on the outside. Anthony Brown has a 77 00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:52,000 Speaker 1: team friendly deal. He can be that third cornerback. I'm 78 00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:55,280 Speaker 1: I'm not sold on a b but he can be 79 00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:58,040 Speaker 1: that nickel guy. He can be a solid starter at 80 00:03:58,040 --> 00:03:59,480 Speaker 1: that nickel position for us, and I think we need 81 00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:01,720 Speaker 1: to go get a corner on the outside because I'm 82 00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:03,760 Speaker 1: not sold on the Woozier and I'm definitely not sold 83 00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:06,440 Speaker 1: on Jordan Lewis. So for me, my priorities would be 84 00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:10,760 Speaker 1: defensive tackle and corner going into this drafty, hey, listen, Church, 85 00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:13,000 Speaker 1: I heard you say that you love Digs. Okay, so 86 00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:15,720 Speaker 1: now you love Digs on the outside and you want 87 00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:18,760 Speaker 1: to pair him up with another rookie in the drift. 88 00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:23,520 Speaker 1: That makes me nervous. But you know, if you hit 89 00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:25,800 Speaker 1: on the guy and you find a guy like Jalen 90 00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:28,720 Speaker 1: Ramsey or Patrick Peterson to somebody, if you find one 91 00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:31,440 Speaker 1: of those type of guys and you strike gold, then 92 00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:33,360 Speaker 1: I got you. But that that does make me a 93 00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:36,039 Speaker 1: little nervous. I think it is risky or work to do. 94 00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:39,039 Speaker 1: But before I say, I love what he's doing out there, 95 00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:42,000 Speaker 1: but I do see the potential, but I don't think 96 00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:45,800 Speaker 1: he's at the level of hey, yeah, he's he's the 97 00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:48,760 Speaker 1: definite guy for the future. Like they knew, he wants 98 00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:52,040 Speaker 1: to give him that fifty million dollars contract already. So 99 00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:55,880 Speaker 1: let me let me stop you right there, Danny, and 100 00:04:56,040 --> 00:05:01,640 Speaker 1: ask this question, what if Patrick Peterson becomes available, because 101 00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:04,600 Speaker 1: that has been talked about and he may not have 102 00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:06,840 Speaker 1: a future in Arizona and with you know, and I'm 103 00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:10,880 Speaker 1: not exactly sure of their salary cap situation, but if 104 00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:15,719 Speaker 1: Peterson's available. Your thoughts that, I think that depends on 105 00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:18,320 Speaker 1: who you have a defensive coordinator, what type of defense 106 00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:20,320 Speaker 1: do you plan on plan, because like we talked about 107 00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:22,240 Speaker 1: I believe it was last week, if you get a 108 00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:24,200 Speaker 1: guy here that wants to play his own defense, then 109 00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:25,960 Speaker 1: you don't need a Patrick Peterson. If you want a 110 00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:28,400 Speaker 1: guy that can come out here and be a leader 111 00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:30,880 Speaker 1: in there and play man and man coverage so you 112 00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:33,440 Speaker 1: can blitz and do these exotic type of schemes, then 113 00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:34,919 Speaker 1: yeah you can. You can look at a guy like 114 00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:36,680 Speaker 1: Pat and if he's not going to break the bank 115 00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:38,920 Speaker 1: for you able to still sign that and get him 116 00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:41,880 Speaker 1: at a reasonable price, then I will entertain that that option. 117 00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:45,120 Speaker 1: But you know, if the defensive coordinated defensive scheme doesn't fit, 118 00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:47,200 Speaker 1: then I wouldn't waste my money on getting a guy 119 00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:50,760 Speaker 1: like that. All right, let me give you my offseason 120 00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:53,479 Speaker 1: priority which is totally different than what you guys laid 121 00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:56,360 Speaker 1: out to me. When I say top top offseason priorities 122 00:05:56,360 --> 00:06:00,240 Speaker 1: to quarterback. This whole league runs off quarterbacks. You're whole 123 00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:03,120 Speaker 1: salary cap structure is going to be based off your 124 00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:05,960 Speaker 1: quarterback because in most situations, when you have a guy 125 00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:08,440 Speaker 1: on a second contract as your quarterback. He's going to 126 00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:11,880 Speaker 1: be the highest paid guy. So to me, Jerry Jones 127 00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:16,240 Speaker 1: and his staff have to get this Dak Prescott contract 128 00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:19,040 Speaker 1: taking care of as quickly as possible. You'd like it 129 00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:21,920 Speaker 1: done before free agency starts in March. If you have 130 00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:24,679 Speaker 1: to put a franchise tag on Dak Prescott, that's thirty 131 00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:27,000 Speaker 1: eight million dollars and it's going to prohibit you from 132 00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:31,039 Speaker 1: getting some free agents and it can change obviously a 133 00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:32,400 Speaker 1: little bit of what you do in the draft. So 134 00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:35,040 Speaker 1: to me, the Joneses need to decide what are they 135 00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:37,240 Speaker 1: going to do. Are they going to go out here 136 00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:39,800 Speaker 1: and get a deal done like they say they've been 137 00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:42,000 Speaker 1: doing or what. But I gotta figure that whole thing 138 00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:47,440 Speaker 1: out because so much revolves around what they do with Dak. 139 00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:49,560 Speaker 1: When you talk about trying to get some veterans possibly 140 00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:51,880 Speaker 1: up here, veteran on the d line or a veteran 141 00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:55,640 Speaker 1: in the secondary, some of that money, you know, will 142 00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:57,440 Speaker 1: it be available to you a free agency here and 143 00:06:57,560 --> 00:06:59,560 Speaker 1: could dictate the kind of player you get, the tier 144 00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:01,800 Speaker 1: player get. So to me, it's got to start with 145 00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:05,280 Speaker 1: the quarterback. It's got to start there. And yeah, Mike 146 00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:08,000 Speaker 1: McCarthy going on radio in San Antonio saying he's looking 147 00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:10,560 Speaker 1: forward to working with Dak Prescott, so he's assuming he's 148 00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:13,280 Speaker 1: going to have the player. How do we have the players? 149 00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:17,080 Speaker 1: The question if you're the Cowboy fan base as a 150 00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:20,400 Speaker 1: four five year contract or is it a one year deal? Guys? 151 00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:21,800 Speaker 1: But that to me is the top thing they got 152 00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:25,160 Speaker 1: to figure out. They better they better hope that they 153 00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:27,800 Speaker 1: get this man for a long term, because I guarantee 154 00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:30,000 Speaker 1: if they hit him with another franchise tag, they're going 155 00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:32,160 Speaker 1: to be right in the same boat the following year 156 00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:34,160 Speaker 1: where it's gonna be like, all right, man, where do 157 00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:35,600 Speaker 1: we spend this money? Yet we got to give all 158 00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:38,080 Speaker 1: this money allocated to Dak. We're in that same position 159 00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:40,560 Speaker 1: again next year if they franchise him again. They better 160 00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:42,720 Speaker 1: hope they get this deal done or this could be 161 00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:45,320 Speaker 1: a possibility to sick in this franchise for more more 162 00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:48,000 Speaker 1: than just a year or two. When you think about it, 163 00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:51,120 Speaker 1: that will that will technically be the third year that 164 00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:53,320 Speaker 1: they have so much money tied up indact that they 165 00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:55,920 Speaker 1: have to worry about the Cavs space. And you are 166 00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:59,240 Speaker 1: correct that the number one priority is the quarterback. My 167 00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:01,880 Speaker 1: must stay I was assuming I went straight to the draft. 168 00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:04,000 Speaker 1: You know how I feel they need to go ahead 169 00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:05,800 Speaker 1: and sign this man. They should have signed him two 170 00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:08,240 Speaker 1: years ago, They should have signed him last year. Now 171 00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:10,800 Speaker 1: you got a guy who's injured. You're not sure when 172 00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:12,520 Speaker 1: he's really gonna be back, So now you still have 173 00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:14,560 Speaker 1: to wait, Hey, do we pay him this money while 174 00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:16,560 Speaker 1: his injured or not? Really be sure? Then you got 175 00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:18,720 Speaker 1: Church saying, you know, maybe we should give a quarterback 176 00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:20,840 Speaker 1: in the draft. All these options wouldn't even be on 177 00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:23,320 Speaker 1: the table if you had already paid this guy. So 178 00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:25,680 Speaker 1: make sure you get that taken care of, and then 179 00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:27,960 Speaker 1: go get you a left tackle to shure up the 180 00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:31,120 Speaker 1: offensive a line so you can protect them. The question 181 00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:34,280 Speaker 1: I think you got to ask yourself is is Dak 182 00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:37,200 Speaker 1: one of those quarterbacks that can lead a franchise to 183 00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:40,320 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl by himself? Can he do it strictly 184 00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:42,400 Speaker 1: by him no matter how bad the defense is. Do 185 00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:45,920 Speaker 1: we see him as a Patrick Mahomes or Peyton Manny 186 00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:47,880 Speaker 1: Tom Brady, those type of guys that can lead an 187 00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:50,200 Speaker 1: offense and lead a team to the Super Bowl without 188 00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:51,880 Speaker 1: any help at all. That's the question I think they 189 00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:54,000 Speaker 1: got to ask themselves. And if the Cowboys feels though 190 00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:56,880 Speaker 1: he's that quarterback, he's that elite guy, then there should 191 00:08:56,880 --> 00:08:58,600 Speaker 1: be there should be no reason not to pay him. 192 00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:00,560 Speaker 1: But if there's questions about it, he is he need this? 193 00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:02,600 Speaker 1: Does he need that? Then that's where I think we're at. 194 00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:04,439 Speaker 1: That's where I think we're at right now. Well, what 195 00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:06,440 Speaker 1: do you what do you mean about no here? No help? 196 00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:08,640 Speaker 1: Do you mean like from the defense from like butt 197 00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:11,120 Speaker 1: from the defensive side of the ball? Yeah? Okay, got you? 198 00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:13,800 Speaker 1: Got you? Yeah, okay, all right. I think if he 199 00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:16,280 Speaker 1: if he was starting and everybody was healthy this year, 200 00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:18,400 Speaker 1: I think that they would have had a real chance, 201 00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:21,199 Speaker 1: even even with how they played at the beginning of 202 00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:23,120 Speaker 1: the season, they would have had a real chance to 203 00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:25,080 Speaker 1: wrap up the division and make some noise in the 204 00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:28,640 Speaker 1: playoffs if they were healthy this season. So, so, A Church, 205 00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:32,679 Speaker 1: here's my question, because I hear that a lot, and 206 00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:34,440 Speaker 1: I've got a friend of mine who's a Hall of 207 00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:37,400 Speaker 1: Fame voter who speaks about that very thing all the time. 208 00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:40,520 Speaker 1: So let me ask you this, how many guys in 209 00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:44,800 Speaker 1: the NFL right now fit exactly what you're saying that 210 00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:47,880 Speaker 1: our quarterback probably guys which how many? How many because 211 00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:51,440 Speaker 1: because I don't know, you tell me maybe maybe two 212 00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:54,080 Speaker 1: or three in the league that can that can do that. 213 00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:56,240 Speaker 1: In my opinion, I think Russell Wilson can lead a 214 00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:58,920 Speaker 1: team without a good defense. I think Pat McCombs can, 215 00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:02,880 Speaker 1: and maybe maybe a Josh Shallotte I don't know about 216 00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:05,560 Speaker 1: that for sure, but maybe a Joshallotte. Oh I'm sorry, 217 00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:07,839 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I forgot about Aaron Rodgers. Other than that, 218 00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:10,079 Speaker 1: I don't know, man, I just don't see any any 219 00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:12,160 Speaker 1: other quarterback out there that can do it without any 220 00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:16,160 Speaker 1: help from their defense. That's all. Those teams had a 221 00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:20,640 Speaker 1: pretty good defenses. Yeah, that's what I mean. Definitely definitely 222 00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:23,160 Speaker 1: better than ours. You know what we what we ran 223 00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:26,600 Speaker 1: out Yeah, man, that's not saying much though that I 224 00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:28,640 Speaker 1: don't I don't. I don't know who could really get 225 00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:30,199 Speaker 1: you to a super Bowl with what we ran out 226 00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:32,760 Speaker 1: there this year. The teams that you're like, when Russell 227 00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:35,400 Speaker 1: Wilson won the Super Bowl, you know they had the Leasion, Doom, Legion, 228 00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:39,800 Speaker 1: the boom. Yeah. Uh yes, Kansas City actually started playing 229 00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:43,160 Speaker 1: well on defense. Uh last year when they won a 230 00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:45,440 Speaker 1: Super Bowl. You had Matthew out there making plays. The 231 00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:48,880 Speaker 1: d line was getting sacks, Aaron Rodgers was out there. 232 00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:52,800 Speaker 1: They their defense played a better last year, So I 233 00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:56,560 Speaker 1: think you have to have at least formidable defense if 234 00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:58,880 Speaker 1: you're really serious and talking about going to make a 235 00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:04,480 Speaker 1: Super Bowl run. Uh. I would actually throw Deshaun Watson 236 00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:06,320 Speaker 1: in there as well, even though he didn't win a 237 00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:08,679 Speaker 1: lot of games. I mean, if you throw Deshaun Watson 238 00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:11,240 Speaker 1: on our team, I think they at least get to 239 00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:13,640 Speaker 1: the playoffs and they didn't, like to say, I think 240 00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:16,320 Speaker 1: they at least make some damage out there. And do 241 00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:18,240 Speaker 1: we think that is that is that? Does that? Do 242 00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:21,760 Speaker 1: we think Dak is on that level? I do? I 243 00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:25,640 Speaker 1: believe Okay, I thought, well, what we saw, what we 244 00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:29,560 Speaker 1: saw in just a limited amount that we saw that 245 00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:31,600 Speaker 1: he played last year, we saw him being that guy 246 00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:33,679 Speaker 1: that he was, the guy that was able to go. 247 00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:38,760 Speaker 1: He's elevated his game every year, Barry, and so I'm 248 00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:41,640 Speaker 1: not worried about him. And I put him right there 249 00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:43,960 Speaker 1: in terms of Deshaun Watson, where you're looking at this 250 00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:47,440 Speaker 1: guy like he's making things happen. And for all the 251 00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:50,319 Speaker 1: criticism people have thrown at it out there about Ezekiel 252 00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:54,080 Speaker 1: Elliott's game going down, while Ezekiel's getting well. People may 253 00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:56,480 Speaker 1: feel Zeke's game is going down, You've got to say 254 00:11:56,679 --> 00:12:02,199 Speaker 1: Dak's game is going up. And Barry. You gotta also remember, 255 00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:04,360 Speaker 1: and I thought Dandy hit, you've got to play at 256 00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:07,719 Speaker 1: least complimentary defense if you're going to win. I look 257 00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:09,640 Speaker 1: at the Green Bay Packers right now and Aaron Rodgers 258 00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:11,440 Speaker 1: on offense. To me, yes, he is carrying the load, 259 00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:14,319 Speaker 1: but they are playing some complimentary, some decent defense in 260 00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:16,560 Speaker 1: Green Band. It ain't the world's greatest, but you gotta 261 00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:18,319 Speaker 1: sit up here and do something. I go ahead and 262 00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:20,800 Speaker 1: look at BN Roethlisberger and the defense, and they've gotten Pittsburgh. 263 00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:23,280 Speaker 1: You know, the Pittsburgh defense suffered some injuries, but you 264 00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:25,680 Speaker 1: know it's the greatest Big Big Ben's career has been. 265 00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:28,400 Speaker 1: This year. They tried to throw the ball and down 266 00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:31,040 Speaker 1: a stretcher. He showed you he can't do it. I 267 00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:34,960 Speaker 1: think Dak Prescott has a better opportunity as a quarterback 268 00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:36,959 Speaker 1: in his offense and what I saw from Roethlisberger, and 269 00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:39,320 Speaker 1: Roethlisberger got some weapons now, especially on the outside, they 270 00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:42,080 Speaker 1: can't run it worth the stink. But I think Dak 271 00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:44,480 Speaker 1: Prescott has shown you as you look around this league. 272 00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:48,000 Speaker 1: He's a guy that you invest in. And that's what 273 00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:50,240 Speaker 1: this is really about, Barry, more so than can you 274 00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:52,520 Speaker 1: win me a Super Bowl? Is if I invest these 275 00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:55,839 Speaker 1: dollars in you, can you potentially get me there? Because 276 00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:57,720 Speaker 1: that's all you're looking for. You know, we usk about 277 00:12:57,720 --> 00:13:00,319 Speaker 1: a guy like Josh Allen, you know, Canny get you there. 278 00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:02,559 Speaker 1: It's looking like he can. You know, the money that 279 00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:04,680 Speaker 1: they put in Joe Flacco it ended up paying off. 280 00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:06,880 Speaker 1: They paid Russell Wilson before he showed you that he 281 00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:09,719 Speaker 1: was a quarterback who quote unquote could carry you. You're 282 00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:14,160 Speaker 1: gonna have to be a defense. Those teams they did, 283 00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:19,400 Speaker 1: they did see they all defense. Yeah, you're you're you're right, 284 00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:22,240 Speaker 1: and so guess what the Cowboys need to do is 285 00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:24,640 Speaker 1: get themselves of defense. But I think you've got the quarterback. 286 00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:28,600 Speaker 1: I mean, that's to answer your question just unequivocally, Danny, 287 00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:31,160 Speaker 1: and I believe Barry you have the quarterback. I'm not 288 00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:35,120 Speaker 1: worried about four. I'm worried about your defense. And I 289 00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:37,360 Speaker 1: want to see a bounce back from the offensive line 290 00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:39,959 Speaker 1: and a bounceback from twenty one. And I want to 291 00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:43,880 Speaker 1: see twenty one. But I ain't worried about four And oh, 292 00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:45,800 Speaker 1: you know, I think for as a phenomenal player. I 293 00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:48,199 Speaker 1: think that is a phenomenal player. But do you think 294 00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:50,360 Speaker 1: he can lead distant because if we pay him what 295 00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:52,760 Speaker 1: they what people are saying we're gonna end up paying him, 296 00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:55,080 Speaker 1: We're not gonna have any cast space to improve his defense. 297 00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:57,520 Speaker 1: Do you think he can go out there and take 298 00:13:57,559 --> 00:14:00,560 Speaker 1: this team with the with the lack luxurre defense he has, 299 00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:02,679 Speaker 1: can he take them to the next level? That's that's 300 00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:04,760 Speaker 1: the only question I have. I don't think he is 301 00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:07,439 Speaker 1: a bad quarterback at all. I think he's a great quarterback. 302 00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:09,280 Speaker 1: But I think he needs help on the defensive side 303 00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:11,040 Speaker 1: of the ball. And if we pay him what we 304 00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:12,920 Speaker 1: want to book people are saying we should pay him 305 00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:15,120 Speaker 1: that defense. If we don't hit in the draft, it's 306 00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:17,480 Speaker 1: gonna be lackluster. And we talk here. When we just 307 00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:19,680 Speaker 1: sat here and talk about all those quarterbacks that I mentioned, 308 00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:21,800 Speaker 1: they all had a decent defense that had ended up 309 00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:23,880 Speaker 1: a comparable defense that ended up leading them to the 310 00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:26,040 Speaker 1: super Bowl. So for me, I don't think he can 311 00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:27,880 Speaker 1: do it by himself. I think he needs more help 312 00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:29,320 Speaker 1: on the defensive side of the ball. But it's going 313 00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:31,560 Speaker 1: to be extremely hard to do that when we pay 314 00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:35,360 Speaker 1: him this astronomical amount, and when we're left with draft picks, 315 00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:36,960 Speaker 1: we're gonna have to hit on every single one of 316 00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:38,840 Speaker 1: those draft picks to get a better defense. And it's 317 00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:40,320 Speaker 1: gonna be hard. It's gonna be a lot of pressure. 318 00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:42,160 Speaker 1: All right. You go back to the game they play 319 00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:45,920 Speaker 1: with see it. Let me put the rest of this 320 00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:48,000 Speaker 1: postle together for you, Church, so you can see where 321 00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:50,760 Speaker 1: I'm coming from. So I believe that Dak has worked 322 00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:53,520 Speaker 1: that much money one because he has the talent. We've 323 00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:55,680 Speaker 1: seen him do it on the field. When he was 324 00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:58,840 Speaker 1: off the field, we've seen one of the biggest lacks 325 00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:02,360 Speaker 1: of leadership that we've seen in the NFL period. We've 326 00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:05,600 Speaker 1: seen what that can do to an entire locker room, 327 00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:09,160 Speaker 1: an entire organization. The guy is a natural born leader, 328 00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:13,560 Speaker 1: and he changes the dynamic of the entire team. When 329 00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:15,040 Speaker 1: you go out there and you're gonna look for a 330 00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:17,520 Speaker 1: guy in the draft, you're not gonna get that. You're 331 00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:20,000 Speaker 1: gonna be missing out on what that is able to 332 00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:22,000 Speaker 1: do in the field, what you've already seen him prove 333 00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:25,280 Speaker 1: in the NFL, and what you've seen him be able 334 00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:27,360 Speaker 1: to do in the locker room. And two on the defense. 335 00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:29,040 Speaker 1: This is where me and you kind of differ a 336 00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:32,280 Speaker 1: little bit because you sixty forty players and I'm sixty 337 00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:36,800 Speaker 1: forty coaches, Like I really believe that Mike Nolan is 338 00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:39,240 Speaker 1: the biggest issue here. I think some of these guys 339 00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:41,440 Speaker 1: can still really play, and if you get them in 340 00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:43,040 Speaker 1: the right scheme with the right coach, and I think 341 00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:45,520 Speaker 1: they'll play a little better to make this defense be formidable. 342 00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:47,160 Speaker 1: They did play better at the end of the season 343 00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:49,080 Speaker 1: once they started picking up on some stuff. So I 344 00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:50,360 Speaker 1: think if you get them in there with a full 345 00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:53,320 Speaker 1: offseason and a true defensive coach that can get these 346 00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:55,720 Speaker 1: guys get the most out of them, I think you 347 00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:57,760 Speaker 1: have a formidable defense and then you just add a 348 00:15:57,800 --> 00:16:01,640 Speaker 1: couple of pieces. I don't I mean from what from 349 00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:04,080 Speaker 1: what you guys told me on that winning streak, and 350 00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:05,880 Speaker 1: we're in the winning streak happened when we said the 351 00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:08,000 Speaker 1: defense started playing a little bit better, And what you 352 00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:10,360 Speaker 1: guys told me when they played a little bit better 353 00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:12,760 Speaker 1: was who are they going against? We went against Cincinnati 354 00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:16,160 Speaker 1: with Brandon Allen. We went against who's the San Francisco 355 00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:18,520 Speaker 1: with u who was number four back there bettered or 356 00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:22,560 Speaker 1: whatever his name, Nick Mullins. I mean, we went against 357 00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:25,520 Speaker 1: Daniel Jones. We ended up losing that game. And then 358 00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:27,880 Speaker 1: I forget who who our third victory was, and that 359 00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:31,000 Speaker 1: little that little spiel we had there. Who was Cincinnati 360 00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:32,680 Speaker 1: San Francisco And we had one more that we took 361 00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:37,480 Speaker 1: a victory from. Anyways, those all they who are we 362 00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:41,239 Speaker 1: playing against? I don't seek the defense Philadelphia. I don't Philadelphia. 363 00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:43,520 Speaker 1: And we played against a rookie quarterback and Jalen Hursts 364 00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:45,200 Speaker 1: and that defense. So when we sit there and say, hey, 365 00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:47,520 Speaker 1: we got the pieces, we just need better coaching. At 366 00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:49,080 Speaker 1: the end of the day, who do we play against? 367 00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:51,240 Speaker 1: We played against the good teams. Where was our defense? Then, 368 00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:53,600 Speaker 1: you know, so I don't know, I don't know. No, No, 369 00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:55,760 Speaker 1: we still we still need we still need more pieces. 370 00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:57,400 Speaker 1: We still need to fill in the pieces that you 371 00:16:57,440 --> 00:17:00,680 Speaker 1: spoke about. I'm saying, Okay, we saw saw some guys 372 00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:04,119 Speaker 1: that originally when we started the season, they were on 373 00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:06,439 Speaker 1: the up trend, and we've seen a guy who was 374 00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:09,080 Speaker 1: on the downtrend last year, and we automatically assumed that, hey, 375 00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:11,439 Speaker 1: he had a bad year in the previous year. You 376 00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:13,280 Speaker 1: get him in the right situation, he's going to be 377 00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:15,720 Speaker 1: able to come back. Speaking about Tank, and it's true, 378 00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:18,160 Speaker 1: we didn't see we didn't and we didn't see that happen. 379 00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:20,440 Speaker 1: So when you think about you having tanked, you having 380 00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:23,600 Speaker 1: a Randy Gregory, you have an emergent Neville Gallimore. You 381 00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:25,440 Speaker 1: have a Tristan Hill who was who was playing a 382 00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:27,320 Speaker 1: little bit better. He could be coming off a cl 383 00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:29,639 Speaker 1: But you have talents. You have draft picks, and you 384 00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:32,040 Speaker 1: got Jalon Smith and Venders. You have guys on the 385 00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:34,680 Speaker 1: defense to where I believe if you get the correct 386 00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:37,360 Speaker 1: coaching and get them doing doing a scheme, but they 387 00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:40,320 Speaker 1: understand and they can maximize their ability in I think 388 00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:42,080 Speaker 1: that you have the pieces to start. Like you said, 389 00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:44,600 Speaker 1: you add a cornerback, you add a safety, and I 390 00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:49,640 Speaker 1: think that's your rolling Church. Here's one thing I want 391 00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:52,359 Speaker 1: to go back to because I mean, I love Russell Wilson. 392 00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:54,520 Speaker 1: I mean I'm a huge Russell Wilson fan, and I 393 00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:57,239 Speaker 1: also felt that throughout Russell's years and you know, they 394 00:17:57,280 --> 00:17:59,080 Speaker 1: never gave a guy enough credit. It was kind of like, hey, 395 00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:02,320 Speaker 1: they won in spiding you, but you know he was limited. 396 00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:04,639 Speaker 1: They they chose a certain rud of how much they 397 00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:06,320 Speaker 1: wanted to give him in the guy improved, I mean 398 00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:08,640 Speaker 1: Russell improved and got better, and I feel that Dak 399 00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:11,440 Speaker 1: Prescott is continuing to get better along the same lines 400 00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:14,560 Speaker 1: we saw Russell Wilson. But let's remember now January nineteen, 401 00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:17,760 Speaker 1: the Cowboys are facing the Seahawks and they're going into 402 00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:21,800 Speaker 1: the fourth quarter down fourteen to ten. Cowboys going at 403 00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:23,960 Speaker 1: nine place, sixty seven yard drive that ends up with 404 00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:27,360 Speaker 1: Ezekiel Eli touchdown, take the lead seventeen fourteen, and then 405 00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:31,560 Speaker 1: um Dak Prescott takes him on eleven play drive sixty 406 00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:34,720 Speaker 1: three yards, he scores on a one yard run to 407 00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:37,360 Speaker 1: make a twenty four or fourteen. Cowboys end up winning 408 00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:40,000 Speaker 1: twenty four twenty two in the playoffs. And then you 409 00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:41,679 Speaker 1: look at a game this year where they went to 410 00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:45,720 Speaker 1: Seattle and the Cowboys were that wretched defense. That was 411 00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:47,400 Speaker 1: the game that the Cowboys were in their right till 412 00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:50,760 Speaker 1: the end, and the Seahawks won at thirty eight thirty one. 413 00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:53,440 Speaker 1: But Dak Prescott in that game four hundred and seventy 414 00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:56,240 Speaker 1: two yards, three touchdowns, two picks, Russell Wilson three fifteen 415 00:18:56,320 --> 00:18:59,359 Speaker 1: five touchdowns, you know, gets that bad Cowboy defense and 416 00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:01,359 Speaker 1: then Seattle unlike the Cowboys, decided that they will go 417 00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:03,360 Speaker 1: run the football in that game. So when you look 418 00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:05,439 Speaker 1: at what he's done up against the guy like Russell Wilson, 419 00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:07,960 Speaker 1: he's right there. Go back to that game against Aaron 420 00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:10,920 Speaker 1: Rodgers when the Cowboys were thirteen and three his rookie year. 421 00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:14,359 Speaker 1: You look at the statistics, Dak Prescott went, told, it 422 00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:17,359 Speaker 1: told with Aaron Rodgers. It ain't his fault. He couldn't 423 00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:19,480 Speaker 1: that he ain't playing defense. As they convert was a 424 00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:22,800 Speaker 1: third and twenty one and end up winning the football game. 425 00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:26,880 Speaker 1: Dak Prescott to me, continues, every time you ask him 426 00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:29,080 Speaker 1: to meet the bar and get better, He's done it, Mary, 427 00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:32,000 Speaker 1: He's done it. So this is true. But but in 428 00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:35,960 Speaker 1: this but in that Packers game though, in that Packers game, though, 429 00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:38,800 Speaker 1: we talk about how we talk about how you know, 430 00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:41,600 Speaker 1: you know, all these these empty calories and all these 431 00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:43,359 Speaker 1: empty stats, And that's what I think if we don't 432 00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:45,520 Speaker 1: have a defense going into next year, that's what I 433 00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:47,480 Speaker 1: think our team will look like. It'll be a lot 434 00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:50,320 Speaker 1: of blowouts. Here comes Dak Prescott leading us back into 435 00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:52,119 Speaker 1: the game. It'll end up being a close game, but 436 00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:54,280 Speaker 1: we'll end up taking that L. I think we need 437 00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:57,440 Speaker 1: a defense to help Dak Prescott get to that next level. 438 00:19:57,480 --> 00:20:00,200 Speaker 1: I'm not saying he's terrible, he can't beat the leader 439 00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:02,240 Speaker 1: of our team or anything like that. I'm just saying it, 440 00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:04,200 Speaker 1: without a good defense, we'll have a lot of those 441 00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:07,119 Speaker 1: packer games where it's all empty calories. It might be 442 00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:09,280 Speaker 1: a thirty eight to seven at the beginning. Oh he's 443 00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:11,480 Speaker 1: leading us back and the score was thirty eight thirty four? 444 00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:13,160 Speaker 1: What a game? Did you see that? But we ended 445 00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:15,480 Speaker 1: up taking the L. So I just think he needs 446 00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:18,280 Speaker 1: that comparable defense. But that's no, it's not on him 447 00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:20,760 Speaker 1: at all. Can't control that. That's that's where he can't 448 00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:23,200 Speaker 1: control that. That's why I think he needs he exactly. 449 00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:24,760 Speaker 1: That's why I think he needs to get the We 450 00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:26,560 Speaker 1: need to get that money on the defensive side of 451 00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:28,480 Speaker 1: the ball. I think we need more help on the 452 00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:32,320 Speaker 1: defensis something. We don't have that but obviously, and I'm 453 00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:36,239 Speaker 1: okay with that, and I'm okay with that's all right 454 00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:40,760 Speaker 1: with that. To me, I think the key to winning. 455 00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:42,840 Speaker 1: To me, I think you have to be on you 456 00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:44,560 Speaker 1: have to be on the defensive side of the ball. 457 00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:46,199 Speaker 1: I think the key to winning championship is on it. 458 00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:48,760 Speaker 1: I could be wrong, I could be completely wrong, but 459 00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:50,600 Speaker 1: I think the key is on the defensive side of 460 00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:54,200 Speaker 1: the ball. If you said that, if you said that, Barry, Barry, 461 00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:56,080 Speaker 1: if you truly believe that, you'd be wearing a Super 462 00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:59,840 Speaker 1: Bowl ring. This is true. But we both but we 463 00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:02,520 Speaker 1: at but we had a less than a less than 464 00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:05,679 Speaker 1: average quarterback. Like we didn't need to have an average quarterback. 465 00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:08,479 Speaker 1: We had a less than average quarter backs. What happened 466 00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:11,000 Speaker 1: when you go cheap, when you go to dollar in 467 00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:13,080 Speaker 1: general and you get it? What has happened with all 468 00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:15,800 Speaker 1: the defense the past four years? We went cheap on 469 00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:18,760 Speaker 1: defense the past four years, and where have we gone? Nowhere? 470 00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:21,199 Speaker 1: So if you have to have that middle blot, you 471 00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:22,720 Speaker 1: have to be both. We have to have both sides. 472 00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:26,160 Speaker 1: You gotta have both. Hello, Hello, Solo. So we had 473 00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:28,280 Speaker 1: the whole discussion.

Church. Let's recap 526 00:24:43,359 --> 00:24:47,120 Speaker 1: our last segment here. Lets you feel that the Cowboys, 527 00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:49,880 Speaker 1: sure I'm here and is right, they need to take 528 00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:54,560 Speaker 1: this offseason and invest heavily in defense and even if 529 00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:57,879 Speaker 1: it costs you Dak Prescott as your quarterback, because you 530 00:24:57,960 --> 00:25:01,000 Speaker 1: feel instead of paying him forty mi million dollars or more, 531 00:25:01,280 --> 00:25:03,879 Speaker 1: that you could get a bus driver type quarterback and 532 00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:06,960 Speaker 1: win a championship? Am I hearing that correct? What I'm 533 00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:10,040 Speaker 1: saying is logan. I think Dak is phenomenal at the quarterback, 534 00:25:10,119 --> 00:25:12,480 Speaker 1: I just don't think he's worth forty two million dollars 535 00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:15,040 Speaker 1: and wrecking your defense and You're basically going to bring 536 00:25:15,119 --> 00:25:17,320 Speaker 1: the same defense you did last year, and that's what 537 00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:19,160 Speaker 1: it would cost us a lot of these games because 538 00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:21,840 Speaker 1: we weren't able to stop an knee by d So 539 00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:24,800 Speaker 1: if Dak was going for thirty eight, maybe even thirty nine, 540 00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:27,879 Speaker 1: we're giving him the same contract that the Shaun Watson had, 541 00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:30,480 Speaker 1: which was basically thirty nine a year. I'm okay with that, 542 00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:32,840 Speaker 1: But when you get into the forty two, forty threes, 543 00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:35,920 Speaker 1: maybe even forty five millions, I'm not so sure. I'm 544 00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:38,000 Speaker 1: pulling a trigger on that. And I would allow allocate 545 00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:40,200 Speaker 1: those funds to the defensive side of the ball. That's 546 00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:43,359 Speaker 1: all I'm saying. Okay, So let me follow this question 547 00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:48,760 Speaker 1: up here. Based on what you said, what team is 548 00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:52,959 Speaker 1: doing it the right way in terms of defensive allocation 549 00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:55,280 Speaker 1: and what they pay their quarterback? Who's doing it the 550 00:25:55,400 --> 00:26:01,360 Speaker 1: right way? A man I would say, I would say 551 00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:04,399 Speaker 1: New England, But they ain't spending money on anybody. So 552 00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:06,800 Speaker 1: for me, I gotta do some research on that one. 553 00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:08,560 Speaker 1: I gotta do some research on that one because it's 554 00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:11,280 Speaker 1: not at the top of my head right now. But yeah, 555 00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:12,439 Speaker 1: I get me back to me on that one. Get 556 00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:13,800 Speaker 1: me about five minutes. I get back to you on 557 00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:17,040 Speaker 1: that one. Okay, Okay, I mean I'll just go ahead, 558 00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:19,560 Speaker 1: go ahead, Dan, Now i's gonna say. Now, I don't 559 00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:22,159 Speaker 1: think and you write Church on to one too. I 560 00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:24,000 Speaker 1: agree with you on one. I don't think that is 561 00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:27,000 Speaker 1: getting served up forty five million dollars. That is, that 562 00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:30,080 Speaker 1: is grossly overpaying, especially for the situation that we're in 563 00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:32,640 Speaker 1: forty five million. I think he should be righting around 564 00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:36,920 Speaker 1: what Deshaun Watson is. I see them as equal. So, yeah, 565 00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:39,440 Speaker 1: you're getting up to forty five, you know, somewhere and there. 566 00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:41,280 Speaker 1: I think that's I think that's a little bit too 567 00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:44,200 Speaker 1: much for Dak Prescott, especially to have some other pieces 568 00:26:44,240 --> 00:26:46,840 Speaker 1: around the team. So as far as price, I could 569 00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:49,720 Speaker 1: definitely see where you're coming from. So let me ask 570 00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:52,720 Speaker 1: this question. Do you think the Sinks do it correctly 571 00:26:53,080 --> 00:26:56,879 Speaker 1: in terms of the defense and quarterback allocation to Drew Brees? 572 00:26:58,359 --> 00:27:01,840 Speaker 1: What did he just signed a two two for fifth? Yes, 573 00:27:02,480 --> 00:27:07,800 Speaker 1: so Drew Brees right now he's making twenty five a year. Yeah, 574 00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:12,480 Speaker 1: Drew Brees has a cap hit of cap hit of 575 00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:15,800 Speaker 1: twenty three point six million bucks. So right now he's 576 00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:19,160 Speaker 1: taking up eleven point nine percent of the Saints salary 577 00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:23,639 Speaker 1: cap in twenty twenty. That ain't fair. That ain't that. 578 00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:28,040 Speaker 1: But I'm saying I'm saying, I'm saying the compared. I 579 00:27:28,040 --> 00:27:32,000 Speaker 1: don't think the comparison is fair because Tom Brady has 580 00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:34,400 Speaker 1: signed these team friendly deals when they forty years old. 581 00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:36,760 Speaker 1: This is not they first they first go around to 582 00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:40,159 Speaker 1: getting a big contract, something comparable to what quarterbacks were 583 00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:43,439 Speaker 1: getting paid when Drew Brees first got paid, which like now, 584 00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:45,080 Speaker 1: were to be less. But you got to look at 585 00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:48,120 Speaker 1: like what quarterbacks were getting paid around that around that time, 586 00:27:48,359 --> 00:27:50,840 Speaker 1: and then compared, and I believe that it would be 587 00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:53,240 Speaker 1: at the top of the top of whatever everybody else 588 00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:55,359 Speaker 1: was getting right now. I don't think that's fair because 589 00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:57,040 Speaker 1: you have Drew Brees on his way out, so yeah, 590 00:27:57,040 --> 00:27:59,000 Speaker 1: he's taking twenty five. He already made so much money. 591 00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:01,240 Speaker 1: So they're taking these really deal so they can so 592 00:28:01,280 --> 00:28:03,160 Speaker 1: they can let the rest of the team have those 593 00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:05,440 Speaker 1: pieces that Church are talking about. And you're not gonna 594 00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:07,560 Speaker 1: talk back into doing that that first of all, that 595 00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:09,840 Speaker 1: that would be disrespectful for you to ask Dack to 596 00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:11,600 Speaker 1: do that. You got him in the fourth round. You've 597 00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:13,520 Speaker 1: been saying he's gonna pay him for years and then 598 00:28:13,560 --> 00:28:15,040 Speaker 1: now you got him on the franchise tag and he 599 00:28:15,080 --> 00:28:16,959 Speaker 1: don't have a large long term deal. I don't ask 600 00:28:17,040 --> 00:28:18,840 Speaker 1: him to take a Tom Brady or Drew Brees deal. 601 00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:22,240 Speaker 1: Team friendly, Okay, we all cat how far is the 602 00:28:22,280 --> 00:28:24,199 Speaker 1: cap gonna go down? Like that's the other thing we've 603 00:28:24,200 --> 00:28:25,879 Speaker 1: got to think. How far is that cap gonna go 604 00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:30,800 Speaker 1: down heading into this year? It doesn't because here's why 605 00:28:30,800 --> 00:28:34,000 Speaker 1: it doesn't matter Barry, because once they put him on 606 00:28:34,080 --> 00:28:38,040 Speaker 1: the franchise tag, the next year tag was already kicked 607 00:28:38,040 --> 00:28:40,520 Speaker 1: in because I can't remember it's thirty percent anyway, it's 608 00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:42,560 Speaker 1: a certain number that kicks in if you want to 609 00:28:42,600 --> 00:28:46,120 Speaker 1: do another franchise tag again. SOT thirty one million bucks 610 00:28:46,320 --> 00:28:48,320 Speaker 1: this year, and then the next tag according to the 611 00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:50,360 Speaker 1: number that the CBA was signed and the owners and 612 00:28:50,360 --> 00:28:52,440 Speaker 1: the players agreed to, DAK was gonna get it kicked 613 00:28:52,440 --> 00:28:54,360 Speaker 1: into thirty eight million bucks. And then I think the 614 00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:57,560 Speaker 1: next one is a crazy number. Um you know, you know, 615 00:28:57,600 --> 00:29:02,320 Speaker 1: almost you know, almost in the in the maybe forty 616 00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:04,000 Speaker 1: or fifty million, doctor. I mean, it just it just 617 00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:06,480 Speaker 1: increases a lot. So the cow no matter what the 618 00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:08,640 Speaker 1: cap was, the Cowboys are gonna be locked into this deal, 619 00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:11,080 Speaker 1: so and it's made to be that way. So it 620 00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:13,760 Speaker 1: gives you the team an incentive to get the contract done. 621 00:29:14,040 --> 00:29:16,960 Speaker 1: So this is the Cowboys fault. So to me, from 622 00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:19,480 Speaker 1: what from what Danny you're telling me now I'm hearing you, 623 00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:23,840 Speaker 1: is Dak Prescott is going to get a contract comparable 624 00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:28,640 Speaker 1: to his peers, peers being Jared Golf, Carson Wentz who 625 00:29:28,680 --> 00:29:32,240 Speaker 1: were in his same draft, Deshaun Watson, m Patrick Mahomes 626 00:29:32,280 --> 00:29:35,600 Speaker 1: who came in later drafts, guys around him who signed extensions. 627 00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:41,120 Speaker 1: Is that what I'm hearing. Absolutely not. So that's a fifty, 628 00:29:41,800 --> 00:29:44,880 Speaker 1: not fifty. I'm just saying specifically Deshaun I think he 629 00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:49,040 Speaker 1: gets Deshaun Watson money because he get above with Shahn Watson. 630 00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:52,160 Speaker 1: So we're telling forty one forty two, it's going to 631 00:29:52,200 --> 00:29:54,280 Speaker 1: be forty. It's going to mean it's going to be 632 00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:56,880 Speaker 1: forty million dollars because his cap number that she's basically 633 00:29:56,960 --> 00:29:59,360 Speaker 1: gonna be thirty eight million bucks. So they're gonna look 634 00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:01,280 Speaker 1: at the Sean Way and say, look at the value 635 00:30:01,320 --> 00:30:03,560 Speaker 1: of a Deshaun Watson. We think our players this type 636 00:30:03,600 --> 00:30:06,560 Speaker 1: of value to your team, um, and they're gonna want 637 00:30:06,560 --> 00:30:09,840 Speaker 1: forty million bucks. So I mean and once again we 638 00:30:10,080 --> 00:30:12,800 Speaker 1: we we talked about, hey, the players not worth this. 639 00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:14,920 Speaker 1: So this is what this is what happened. This is 640 00:30:14,920 --> 00:30:17,320 Speaker 1: what managers mess up. It was kind of like the Tank. 641 00:30:17,720 --> 00:30:19,600 Speaker 1: You could have got Tank at sixteen million bucks, but 642 00:30:19,640 --> 00:30:21,480 Speaker 1: they decided they wanted to make him play out the tag, 643 00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:23,920 Speaker 1: and then the tag the next year was eighteen million dollars, 644 00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:25,479 Speaker 1: and then they were starting to say, hey, we'll get 645 00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:28,320 Speaker 1: you eighteen, and Tank said no, twenty. So if Tank 646 00:30:28,840 --> 00:30:32,480 Speaker 1: got him at twenty and his and the franchise numbers eighteen, 647 00:30:32,640 --> 00:30:34,560 Speaker 1: Dack's gonna do the same thing with his age. He's 648 00:30:34,560 --> 00:30:36,800 Speaker 1: a quarterback. So if it's thirty eight, they're gonna get forty. 649 00:30:37,600 --> 00:30:40,320 Speaker 1: And you're just gonna have to and you're gonna eat 650 00:30:40,360 --> 00:30:43,120 Speaker 1: the frog because this is what they always do. They 651 00:30:43,280 --> 00:30:45,880 Speaker 1: always eat the frog. They ate it with Cooper, they 652 00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:49,200 Speaker 1: ate it with Zeke, they ate it with Tag, with Tank, 653 00:30:49,480 --> 00:30:51,560 Speaker 1: they ate it with with Tyrant Smith, they ate it 654 00:30:51,640 --> 00:30:54,000 Speaker 1: with Zach Martin, they ate it with Travis. They're gonna 655 00:30:54,040 --> 00:30:57,360 Speaker 1: do it. This is what they do. They are They're 656 00:30:57,360 --> 00:30:58,800 Speaker 1: gonna eat it. And at the end of the day, 657 00:30:58,840 --> 00:31:00,640 Speaker 1: I think we can all agree like that. The Cowboys 658 00:31:00,680 --> 00:31:02,920 Speaker 1: put themselves in this situation, like you said, knew it. 659 00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:05,840 Speaker 1: This could have been rectified two years ago when when 660 00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:07,640 Speaker 1: Golf and them boys got their job. They could have 661 00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:09,680 Speaker 1: threw whatever they wanted at deck and I'm sure he 662 00:31:09,680 --> 00:31:11,160 Speaker 1: would have signed it. We wouldn't have been in this 663 00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:14,000 Speaker 1: predicament we are right now. But they decided to wait, 664 00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:16,560 Speaker 1: and now it's I mean, they're up against a rock 665 00:31:16,600 --> 00:31:18,000 Speaker 1: in the hard place. I mean, do you do you 666 00:31:18,080 --> 00:31:20,200 Speaker 1: pay the quarterback in and hope you hit on these 667 00:31:20,280 --> 00:31:23,160 Speaker 1: drafts or do you go defensive route. I mean, at 668 00:31:23,160 --> 00:31:24,960 Speaker 1: the end of the day, they put themselves in this situation, 669 00:31:25,080 --> 00:31:28,320 Speaker 1: and hey, they're gonna have to deal with it. Stop 670 00:31:28,440 --> 00:31:31,440 Speaker 1: stop digging. I mean, you're in a hole. Just stop digging. 671 00:31:31,880 --> 00:31:33,640 Speaker 1: I mean, seriously, that's what it is at this point 672 00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:36,360 Speaker 1: in time. Now you kept digging this hole the quarterback 673 00:31:36,400 --> 00:31:39,080 Speaker 1: and digging and digging. Just drop the shovel. Pay the man, 674 00:31:39,880 --> 00:31:42,560 Speaker 1: because this is something we all know. If the Cowboys 675 00:31:42,600 --> 00:31:45,560 Speaker 1: don't pay him the forty, somebody else will. They're going 676 00:31:45,600 --> 00:31:50,320 Speaker 1: to be easy. They're going to do it so and 677 00:31:50,440 --> 00:31:52,160 Speaker 1: so you might as well just go ahead and do it, 678 00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:54,720 Speaker 1: because you know you know, let's say he signs forty 679 00:31:54,720 --> 00:31:56,320 Speaker 1: million with the Bears and next to you know, they 680 00:31:56,360 --> 00:31:58,280 Speaker 1: win some games. I mean, you're gonna you're gonna catch 681 00:31:58,320 --> 00:32:00,720 Speaker 1: They're gonna catch it. They're gonna catch it. They don't 682 00:32:00,760 --> 00:32:04,720 Speaker 1: want to catch it. And McCarthy wants to coaching. McCarthy 683 00:32:04,800 --> 00:32:08,479 Speaker 1: wants to coaching.

All right, get your bows, 738 00:35:14,680 --> 00:35:18,440 Speaker 1: headphones ready as I tell you what Mike McCarthy had 739 00:35:18,520 --> 00:35:22,839 Speaker 1: to say about his hand chosen defensive coordinator. He said, 740 00:35:22,960 --> 00:35:26,279 Speaker 1: with asked about his status, he said, quote, that's what 741 00:35:26,440 --> 00:35:29,640 Speaker 1: we're working on. That's what this process is all about. 742 00:35:29,719 --> 00:35:34,200 Speaker 1: That's the short version. So Mike McCarthy not committing that 743 00:35:34,719 --> 00:35:37,000 Speaker 1: Mike Nolan will be his diffensive coordinator next year, but 744 00:35:37,120 --> 00:35:39,319 Speaker 1: saying that they're going through a process, that they're looking 745 00:35:39,360 --> 00:35:43,239 Speaker 1: at things, which I personally I take that as Hey, 746 00:35:43,480 --> 00:35:45,720 Speaker 1: I'm trying to save my guy. I gotta sit around 747 00:35:45,800 --> 00:35:48,480 Speaker 1: here for show Jerry and Stevens some ways where we 748 00:35:48,600 --> 00:35:52,040 Speaker 1: improved and try to keep them back. But I don't see, 749 00:35:52,080 --> 00:35:54,439 Speaker 1: I personally don't see any way they can keep Mike 750 00:35:54,640 --> 00:35:57,640 Speaker 1: Nolan as their defensive coordinator. McCarthy's just gonna had to 751 00:35:57,719 --> 00:36:00,880 Speaker 1: understand when you go six and ten in Jerry world, 752 00:36:01,200 --> 00:36:03,360 Speaker 1: people have to pay, Okay, you just don't get to 753 00:36:03,400 --> 00:36:05,600 Speaker 1: come back every everybody just don't get to come on back. 754 00:36:05,719 --> 00:36:07,880 Speaker 1: You got to pay, And so that's the thing he's 755 00:36:07,920 --> 00:36:15,799 Speaker 1: got to understand. Realheady Mack, Yeah, I don't think he knows. 756 00:36:16,560 --> 00:36:18,680 Speaker 1: I think that's that's one of those situations to where 757 00:36:18,680 --> 00:36:20,439 Speaker 1: he wasn't in the room when they were talking about 758 00:36:20,440 --> 00:36:22,800 Speaker 1: Earl Thomas, Like I have heard youthing about that. I 759 00:36:22,920 --> 00:36:26,400 Speaker 1: think I think Jerry, Jerry and Stephen are trying to 760 00:36:26,440 --> 00:36:28,920 Speaker 1: figure it out, trying to find out who's available and 761 00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:31,600 Speaker 1: who they want to get, and hopefully they find it 762 00:36:31,680 --> 00:36:33,880 Speaker 1: out soon. So this doesn't linger on too much because, 763 00:36:33,920 --> 00:36:37,400 Speaker 1: like I said, it's something in me that believes that 764 00:36:37,560 --> 00:36:40,440 Speaker 1: Mike Nolan has a real strong possibility of coming back 765 00:36:40,560 --> 00:36:42,759 Speaker 1: just because all the stuff that they faced this season 766 00:36:42,840 --> 00:36:45,040 Speaker 1: or no off season in COVID. But I don't think 767 00:36:45,120 --> 00:36:47,359 Speaker 1: that that that he should survive this and I think 768 00:36:47,400 --> 00:36:49,920 Speaker 1: that he should be out and they find another guy 769 00:36:50,160 --> 00:36:53,440 Speaker 1: who's able to maximize the potential of the players that 770 00:36:53,480 --> 00:36:56,640 Speaker 1: we currently have on the roster. Yeah, to me, I 771 00:36:56,719 --> 00:36:59,360 Speaker 1: don't understand what the process is all about. Man, I 772 00:36:59,440 --> 00:37:02,080 Speaker 1: think he should have been gone on Black Friday with 773 00:37:02,160 --> 00:37:04,759 Speaker 1: the rest of those coaches that were dismissed. But to me, 774 00:37:04,880 --> 00:37:07,360 Speaker 1: I just don't understand. I just don't. He was a 775 00:37:07,400 --> 00:37:10,120 Speaker 1: part of one of the historically worst defenses in the 776 00:37:10,200 --> 00:37:12,439 Speaker 1: National Football League this year. I mean, teams were able 777 00:37:12,480 --> 00:37:14,880 Speaker 1: to run the ball up and down the field on 778 00:37:15,000 --> 00:37:17,520 Speaker 1: our defense, and it wasn't until the last four games 779 00:37:17,560 --> 00:37:19,200 Speaker 1: of the year that we started taking the ball away 780 00:37:19,239 --> 00:37:21,680 Speaker 1: with any type of regularity. So for me, I think 781 00:37:21,760 --> 00:37:23,560 Speaker 1: he was a part of the problem. He was probably 782 00:37:23,920 --> 00:37:26,200 Speaker 1: the main problem, and I think he needs to go 783 00:37:26,320 --> 00:37:28,320 Speaker 1: ahead and go. But you're right, new you. I'm not 784 00:37:28,400 --> 00:37:31,960 Speaker 1: sure if if McCarthy's trying to save you know, his boy, 785 00:37:32,239 --> 00:37:33,960 Speaker 1: his boy's job, or if he's trying to save his 786 00:37:34,040 --> 00:37:35,879 Speaker 1: friendship with Noland. You know what I'm saying, I don't 787 00:37:35,880 --> 00:37:38,239 Speaker 1: want to He's wanting to Nolan saying, hey, man, look 788 00:37:38,239 --> 00:37:40,080 Speaker 1: I tried to fight for you. I tried to fight 789 00:37:40,120 --> 00:37:41,560 Speaker 1: for you. I went in there, I went to bat 790 00:37:41,640 --> 00:37:44,000 Speaker 1: for you and me it just didn't work out that way. 791 00:37:44,280 --> 00:37:45,680 Speaker 1: Knowing all the way on the back of his mind, 792 00:37:45,719 --> 00:37:46,960 Speaker 1: he's like, man, look, we need to get this guy 793 00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:48,640 Speaker 1: up out of here. Man, But you know, he's my boy, 794 00:37:48,640 --> 00:37:49,880 Speaker 1: and I don't want to do him like that, So 795 00:37:50,320 --> 00:37:52,680 Speaker 1: let me get his best opportunity to speak to Jerry 796 00:37:52,719 --> 00:37:54,520 Speaker 1: and see if we can prolong this thing a little bit. 797 00:37:54,560 --> 00:37:56,120 Speaker 1: But in the back of his mind he probably already 798 00:37:56,200 --> 00:38:00,880 Speaker 1: knows Mike's Mike is on his way out. When I 799 00:38:01,080 --> 00:38:06,600 Speaker 1: see Mike McCarthy talk like that, I kind of laughed 800 00:38:06,640 --> 00:38:08,439 Speaker 1: because he goes vague like that. One of the things 801 00:38:08,800 --> 00:38:11,600 Speaker 1: being a reporter is I've started to learn to listen 802 00:38:11,680 --> 00:38:14,480 Speaker 1: to what people don't say. That was how I used 803 00:38:14,480 --> 00:38:16,480 Speaker 1: to read Jason Garrett. Listen to what he didn't say 804 00:38:16,520 --> 00:38:18,320 Speaker 1: about a player. You know, if he talked about a 805 00:38:18,400 --> 00:38:20,120 Speaker 1: Dak Prescott or Zach Whar, He's like, this is a 806 00:38:20,200 --> 00:38:22,960 Speaker 1: guy does everything the right way, really loves football. I 807 00:38:23,000 --> 00:38:25,319 Speaker 1: mean he would throw a fusive praise on it. Then 808 00:38:25,320 --> 00:38:27,800 Speaker 1: when he talked about Taco Charlton never heard any of that. 809 00:38:28,080 --> 00:38:30,560 Speaker 1: That was how I could decode how Jason felt about 810 00:38:30,600 --> 00:38:32,839 Speaker 1: a guy. And I go back to this to say, 811 00:38:33,000 --> 00:38:36,760 Speaker 1: when Steven Jones and you listen to Steven's radio interviews, 812 00:38:36,840 --> 00:38:40,640 Speaker 1: when Steven Jones came out and said, hey, there's some 813 00:38:40,800 --> 00:38:43,600 Speaker 1: guys who were on that defense last year who really 814 00:38:43,680 --> 00:38:47,160 Speaker 1: played better and they're not playing well this year, and 815 00:38:47,320 --> 00:38:50,440 Speaker 1: I took that as him saying, hey, it's not that 816 00:38:50,600 --> 00:38:54,040 Speaker 1: our guys far players stink. It's not that we don't 817 00:38:54,120 --> 00:38:56,799 Speaker 1: know personnel at all. Our personnel is not any good. 818 00:38:57,040 --> 00:38:58,960 Speaker 1: These were guys last year we are getting it done 819 00:38:59,000 --> 00:39:00,640 Speaker 1: in the defense. We didn't think it was good enough. 820 00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:02,880 Speaker 1: Now all of a sudden they stink. I'm not buying that, 821 00:39:03,320 --> 00:39:05,239 Speaker 1: And that, to me is where a guy like Mike 822 00:39:05,320 --> 00:39:07,560 Speaker 1: Nolan is gonna end up having to fall on the 823 00:39:07,640 --> 00:39:10,400 Speaker 1: sword because you don't have a guy like Steven Jones 824 00:39:10,480 --> 00:39:13,200 Speaker 1: who's in your corner. And we all know Stephen Jones 825 00:39:13,280 --> 00:39:16,440 Speaker 1: has major say in this organization. But I don't know 826 00:39:16,600 --> 00:39:18,520 Speaker 1: how they can sit around here and just try to 827 00:39:18,560 --> 00:39:21,359 Speaker 1: go off these last four games and say, hey, look 828 00:39:21,600 --> 00:39:24,480 Speaker 1: we're a better football team. I thought the Giant game 829 00:39:24,640 --> 00:39:26,719 Speaker 1: was just one more reason why Mike Nolan should go. 830 00:39:27,520 --> 00:39:30,040 Speaker 1: You had something to play for. You're playing against a 831 00:39:30,200 --> 00:39:33,160 Speaker 1: team that was challenged offensively to score twenty points the 832 00:39:33,280 --> 00:39:35,959 Speaker 1: last ten weeks of the season, and they scored twenty. 833 00:39:36,200 --> 00:39:38,319 Speaker 1: They put up twenty points in the first half. He's 834 00:39:38,360 --> 00:39:42,000 Speaker 1: just not the guy as if you're Mike mccarthur, you 835 00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:43,680 Speaker 1: can simply say this man, you're my friend. And I 836 00:39:43,800 --> 00:39:46,520 Speaker 1: tried I gave you a shot. I let you run 837 00:39:46,680 --> 00:39:48,360 Speaker 1: this thing. I ran over here with Kellen. I was 838 00:39:48,400 --> 00:39:50,320 Speaker 1: sitting here deal with offense. I let you had a 839 00:39:50,400 --> 00:39:52,120 Speaker 1: whole lab to yourself, and this is what you did. 840 00:39:52,200 --> 00:39:53,400 Speaker 1: You blew up the lab, so you got to go. 841 00:39:54,000 --> 00:39:56,000 Speaker 1: You're still my boy. I still got love for y'all. 842 00:39:56,040 --> 00:39:58,239 Speaker 1: Call around and maybe get a position coach somewhere, because 843 00:39:58,280 --> 00:40:00,920 Speaker 1: you guys know, dudes like Mike Nolan stick around forever. 844 00:40:01,239 --> 00:40:04,640 Speaker 1: Somebody will hire him as a position coach, so he'll 845 00:40:04,680 --> 00:40:08,279 Speaker 1: go there, but he can't coordinate this defense. And if 846 00:40:08,360 --> 00:40:11,279 Speaker 1: you're going to get the best years out of Dak 847 00:40:11,320 --> 00:40:14,480 Speaker 1: Prescott and get your return on investment in Ezekiel Elliott 848 00:40:14,520 --> 00:40:17,520 Speaker 1: and Tyrn Smith and all these guys, then you got 849 00:40:17,600 --> 00:40:20,920 Speaker 1: to start with a defensive change. This is not a 850 00:40:20,960 --> 00:40:23,719 Speaker 1: man who needs to come back here. And personally, I 851 00:40:23,840 --> 00:40:26,000 Speaker 1: don't know if the Joneses are sold on just trying 852 00:40:26,040 --> 00:40:28,600 Speaker 1: to go to a three four defense because in the past, 853 00:40:28,920 --> 00:40:30,399 Speaker 1: and I've been here in the past, and they've talked 854 00:40:30,440 --> 00:40:33,200 Speaker 1: about how there were too many changes in personnel that 855 00:40:33,239 --> 00:40:35,520 Speaker 1: they had to make and that it took you basically 856 00:40:35,600 --> 00:40:38,520 Speaker 1: almost two years in their opinion, to flip the defense around. 857 00:40:38,800 --> 00:40:41,279 Speaker 1: So I don't see them doing this three four deal. 858 00:40:41,440 --> 00:40:43,319 Speaker 1: I believe it's going to be a four three. They'll 859 00:40:43,360 --> 00:40:47,520 Speaker 1: bring in somebody, you know, it could be George Edwards. Okay, 860 00:40:47,760 --> 00:40:50,040 Speaker 1: George Edwards is already in the building seeing what these 861 00:40:50,120 --> 00:40:53,319 Speaker 1: guys can do. He worked with Mike Zimmer. They love 862 00:40:53,480 --> 00:40:57,560 Speaker 1: Mike Zimmer. Okay, the Jones family loves Mike Zimmer. George 863 00:40:57,680 --> 00:41:00,480 Speaker 1: was right there with him, and until this season when 864 00:41:00,520 --> 00:41:03,440 Speaker 1: George was gone, the Vikings defense was pretty good. It 865 00:41:03,880 --> 00:41:06,440 Speaker 1: was pretty good under Mike Zimmer. So to me, you 866 00:41:06,560 --> 00:41:09,480 Speaker 1: already have a guy who's in the building, understands a 867 00:41:09,560 --> 00:41:12,480 Speaker 1: personnel can possibly make the right changes that you need 868 00:41:12,560 --> 00:41:15,560 Speaker 1: to and you go on from there. That's right now, 869 00:41:15,680 --> 00:41:18,799 Speaker 1: that's the easiest solution, in my opinion, a proving guy 870 00:41:18,880 --> 00:41:23,920 Speaker 1: in the league. Georgia, hold on, hold on now, because listen, 871 00:41:24,600 --> 00:41:27,120 Speaker 1: old uncle Wade, I said your tweet. Uncle Wade said, 872 00:41:27,160 --> 00:41:29,160 Speaker 1: if you want to change from four to three two 873 00:41:29,320 --> 00:41:32,200 Speaker 1: three four, he can get it done, all right. And 874 00:41:32,360 --> 00:41:35,480 Speaker 1: he puts some some stats down there and he lets 875 00:41:35,520 --> 00:41:37,960 Speaker 1: you know that. He changes the Texas and the Rams 876 00:41:38,040 --> 00:41:41,160 Speaker 1: and the Broncos, and they all changed from losing teams 877 00:41:41,200 --> 00:41:43,520 Speaker 1: to winning teams. He got that stuff done, so it 878 00:41:43,640 --> 00:41:45,880 Speaker 1: can be done. Let me tell you this about Mike Nolan, 879 00:41:45,920 --> 00:41:49,080 Speaker 1: all right, because we want to talk about personnel and uh, 880 00:41:49,400 --> 00:41:52,040 Speaker 1: you know how, and he may have this different person 881 00:41:52,080 --> 00:41:53,759 Speaker 1: there and bring some more guys in and all this 882 00:41:53,880 --> 00:41:57,839 Speaker 1: other stuff. The truth of the matter is, in all likelihood, 883 00:41:58,480 --> 00:42:00,920 Speaker 1: it's about two positions on the defense that he's going 884 00:42:00,960 --> 00:42:03,800 Speaker 1: to be able to upgrade at the position the safety 885 00:42:04,120 --> 00:42:06,840 Speaker 1: and possibly the corner. You got two draft picks, a 886 00:42:06,960 --> 00:42:10,360 Speaker 1: defensive tackle. You got Randy Gregory, you got Take Lawrence. 887 00:42:10,400 --> 00:42:12,839 Speaker 1: On the other side, you have your two linebackers who 888 00:42:12,920 --> 00:42:15,360 Speaker 1: are going to be here next year. You got Lvee 889 00:42:15,680 --> 00:42:17,839 Speaker 1: and you got Jayala Smith. So it's not like you're 890 00:42:17,920 --> 00:42:20,760 Speaker 1: going to go in and be able to revamp everything. 891 00:42:21,080 --> 00:42:24,480 Speaker 1: He's going to be playing with essentially eighty to eighty 892 00:42:24,520 --> 00:42:27,440 Speaker 1: five percent of the same guys that he had this year. 893 00:42:27,760 --> 00:42:29,880 Speaker 1: So the personnel change and all that stuff, and this 894 00:42:29,920 --> 00:42:31,880 Speaker 1: is what's gonna fix fix Mike Nolan and all that 895 00:42:32,320 --> 00:42:36,040 Speaker 1: that's not flying. The likelihood is you bring somebody else 896 00:42:36,080 --> 00:42:37,840 Speaker 1: in here that can work with the talent that you 897 00:42:37,960 --> 00:42:41,200 Speaker 1: already have and then upgrade what they can do based 898 00:42:41,200 --> 00:42:42,920 Speaker 1: off what you're able to pick up in the drafting 899 00:42:43,000 --> 00:42:48,960 Speaker 1: free agency. Mike Nolan cannot get it done. I'm not 900 00:42:49,000 --> 00:42:51,080 Speaker 1: going to argue with you on that at all. I'm 901 00:42:51,120 --> 00:42:52,680 Speaker 1: not going to argue with that at all. I just 902 00:42:52,760 --> 00:42:55,360 Speaker 1: think that you tried it and you gotta go ahead 903 00:42:55,400 --> 00:42:57,680 Speaker 1: and move on, move on from it. I mean, when 904 00:42:57,680 --> 00:43:00,160 Speaker 1: you talk about the linebackers, Mike Nolan was the guy 905 00:43:00,200 --> 00:43:02,319 Speaker 1: who said put Laton Vanderesh in the middle and throw 906 00:43:02,400 --> 00:43:04,160 Speaker 1: Jalen Spent to the outside. I don't think any of 907 00:43:04,239 --> 00:43:06,400 Speaker 1: us on this show like that move. I think they 908 00:43:06,440 --> 00:43:09,600 Speaker 1: should flip flop that as soon as possible. I mean, 909 00:43:09,640 --> 00:43:12,480 Speaker 1: when we saw Banderesh making plays, it was on the outside. 910 00:43:12,600 --> 00:43:16,279 Speaker 1: That's what I want to see. Um, he's just gotta go. 911 00:43:16,560 --> 00:43:19,239 Speaker 1: I mean, that's about Botoline question you gotta go? Yeah, 912 00:43:19,600 --> 00:43:23,320 Speaker 1: quick question was no is the secondaries coach and like 913 00:43:23,400 --> 00:43:25,600 Speaker 1: those those assistant coach of those guys that are under 914 00:43:25,680 --> 00:43:29,560 Speaker 1: Nolan or McCarthy brought those guys in as well. I 915 00:43:29,640 --> 00:43:31,920 Speaker 1: think it's a combination where you know, I don't think 916 00:43:31,960 --> 00:43:36,360 Speaker 1: that McCarthy brought in anybody Nolan wasn't comfortable with. But 917 00:43:36,480 --> 00:43:39,600 Speaker 1: that's that's my thing too. It's whoever to me, whoever 918 00:43:39,680 --> 00:43:42,320 Speaker 1: the coordinator is is it should have the right to 919 00:43:42,400 --> 00:43:44,120 Speaker 1: try to bring in some position of guys that he 920 00:43:44,200 --> 00:43:47,359 Speaker 1: wants who understand what he wants to do. If if 921 00:43:47,400 --> 00:43:50,280 Speaker 1: they all talked about and Mike McCarthy had no problems 922 00:43:50,360 --> 00:43:52,600 Speaker 1: talking about this all the time as the defenses, Hey, 923 00:43:52,719 --> 00:43:54,799 Speaker 1: it was coaching with dudes he had coach with before. 924 00:43:55,120 --> 00:43:57,120 Speaker 1: So if you let's say you bring in George Edwards, 925 00:43:57,160 --> 00:43:59,360 Speaker 1: if you bring in George Edwards, should George Jetwards be 926 00:43:59,400 --> 00:44:01,160 Speaker 1: allowed to bring in a dB coach and a D 927 00:44:01,280 --> 00:44:03,640 Speaker 1: line coach, a linebacker coach to people that he has 928 00:44:03,680 --> 00:44:07,040 Speaker 1: some familiarity with who can help him implement the defense 929 00:44:07,080 --> 00:44:10,279 Speaker 1: the way he wants. So I think that it's gonna 930 00:44:10,280 --> 00:44:12,200 Speaker 1: be to me. I think it's sweeping changes on the 931 00:44:12,239 --> 00:44:14,319 Speaker 1: defensive side of the football. It's not just Mike Nolan, 932 00:44:14,600 --> 00:44:17,839 Speaker 1: Jim Thompson. Look at get got dB coach, linebacker coach. 933 00:44:17,960 --> 00:44:19,600 Speaker 1: I mean, all these people can get gout and I 934 00:44:19,640 --> 00:44:22,160 Speaker 1: wouldn't have any issues with it at all. Jerry's going 935 00:44:22,200 --> 00:44:24,200 Speaker 1: to write a check for it, but but I don't 936 00:44:24,239 --> 00:44:27,880 Speaker 1: have any issues with them rolling through these dudes. I mean, 937 00:44:27,920 --> 00:44:29,839 Speaker 1: this is the price of business people have to pack 938 00:44:30,080 --> 00:44:32,080 Speaker 1: six and ten. I told you six and ten. Everybody 939 00:44:32,120 --> 00:44:34,759 Speaker 1: doesn't get to come back, okay, you know everybody can't 940 00:44:34,800 --> 00:44:36,640 Speaker 1: be like Kellen Moore, get a contract at Sension and 941 00:44:36,760 --> 00:44:38,439 Speaker 1: live on. I mean, some people want to go ahead 942 00:44:38,480 --> 00:44:40,840 Speaker 1: and die. You know, some people are gonna have to 943 00:44:40,920 --> 00:44:43,120 Speaker 1: die for six and ten and that's just just the 944 00:44:43,160 --> 00:44:44,920 Speaker 1: way it is. One of the things I want to 945 00:44:44,960 --> 00:44:47,160 Speaker 1: talk about here on the players lounges is the offensive 946 00:44:47,200 --> 00:44:50,920 Speaker 1: line and m cray, I heard you talk about wanting 947 00:44:50,960 --> 00:44:56,399 Speaker 1: a left tackle at ten. First off, the best left 948 00:44:56,440 --> 00:44:59,080 Speaker 1: tackle is probably going to be gone at three or four, 949 00:44:59,440 --> 00:45:02,080 Speaker 1: the kid from Oregon. So I'm not sure who's left 950 00:45:02,160 --> 00:45:06,880 Speaker 1: at left tackle at ten. But to me, when I 951 00:45:07,000 --> 00:45:09,360 Speaker 1: look at the kind of money they've invested in Tyring 952 00:45:09,680 --> 00:45:12,759 Speaker 1: and invested in Lel Collins at the tackle positions, those 953 00:45:12,840 --> 00:45:14,759 Speaker 1: guys are going to be there, but we do know 954 00:45:14,920 --> 00:45:19,120 Speaker 1: they'll miss games. If I'm starting my offensive line next fall, 955 00:45:19,280 --> 00:45:23,359 Speaker 1: my sinner is Tyler Bias, second year man from Wisconsin. 956 00:45:24,960 --> 00:45:30,320 Speaker 1: I'm hoping Tyre Sin's my left tackle. I'm going to 957 00:45:30,440 --> 00:45:37,000 Speaker 1: put Connor McGovern at left guard, replacing Connor Williams. I'm 958 00:45:37,040 --> 00:45:39,040 Speaker 1: going to put Zack Martin at right tackle. I'm going 959 00:45:39,080 --> 00:45:41,680 Speaker 1: to put Lyle Collins. I mean, put Zack Martin at 960 00:45:41,760 --> 00:45:46,520 Speaker 1: right guard and put Collins at right tackle, and Connor 961 00:45:46,640 --> 00:45:50,319 Speaker 1: Williams is going to become my swing tackle because I'm 962 00:45:50,360 --> 00:45:52,000 Speaker 1: going to be He's gonna be in the he'll be 963 00:45:52,080 --> 00:45:55,040 Speaker 1: in the final year of his deal. Too many times 964 00:45:55,280 --> 00:45:58,040 Speaker 1: I feel like Connor Williams has gotten overmatched to guard. 965 00:45:58,160 --> 00:46:00,520 Speaker 1: I don't think he's a guard. I think he's tackle. 966 00:46:00,600 --> 00:46:02,960 Speaker 1: The National Football League. I want to see him there, 967 00:46:03,000 --> 00:46:05,600 Speaker 1: and I'm gonna spend that last year with Carter Williams 968 00:46:05,640 --> 00:46:09,120 Speaker 1: out there now. And you talk about drafting the tackle 969 00:46:09,239 --> 00:46:11,399 Speaker 1: later on in the draft. I'm all four. I don't 970 00:46:11,400 --> 00:46:13,960 Speaker 1: have any issue with it. I don't. But at ten 971 00:46:14,040 --> 00:46:18,480 Speaker 1: I cannot. I cannot take a tackle at ten who 972 00:46:18,600 --> 00:46:22,640 Speaker 1: possibly doesn't start. I need a walk in starter at 973 00:46:22,719 --> 00:46:25,799 Speaker 1: ten in the first round, and that's got a most 974 00:46:25,880 --> 00:46:28,120 Speaker 1: and that's got to be a defensive player. In my opinion, 975 00:46:28,760 --> 00:46:31,759 Speaker 1: that's just me, but that's my take. The offensive line 976 00:46:33,080 --> 00:46:36,880 Speaker 1: listen minus is virtually the same. I got my Governor 977 00:46:37,800 --> 00:46:42,440 Speaker 1: left guard, YadA center, Martin, right guard, Collins, right tackle. 978 00:46:42,840 --> 00:46:45,920 Speaker 1: I do not listen. I do not believe that Connor 979 00:46:46,040 --> 00:46:50,279 Speaker 1: Williams has enough anchor to play guard our tackle. Like 980 00:46:50,880 --> 00:46:55,040 Speaker 1: I've never actually looked at the offensive line play as 981 00:46:55,160 --> 00:46:57,080 Speaker 1: much as I have this year since we started talking 982 00:46:57,120 --> 00:47:00,359 Speaker 1: about it on the show, and I'm talking about repeated league. 983 00:47:00,480 --> 00:47:02,799 Speaker 1: If you have a guy with any strength and any 984 00:47:02,880 --> 00:47:06,200 Speaker 1: type of bull rush, Connor Williams cannot handle it. And 985 00:47:06,320 --> 00:47:08,080 Speaker 1: I don't think he wants to be out there at 986 00:47:08,440 --> 00:47:11,680 Speaker 1: tackle facing guys who knows one hundred percent that they 987 00:47:11,719 --> 00:47:14,399 Speaker 1: can just push him back into the quarterback. I don't 988 00:47:14,440 --> 00:47:16,880 Speaker 1: trust them being out there at left tackle. And like 989 00:47:17,000 --> 00:47:19,800 Speaker 1: you said, Tyren Smith's going him this time. So Connor 990 00:47:19,840 --> 00:47:22,520 Speaker 1: Williams is going to be starting a few games, and 991 00:47:22,640 --> 00:47:24,360 Speaker 1: you don't want to be out there word about how 992 00:47:24,440 --> 00:47:26,919 Speaker 1: many how many guys are focusing on Connor Williams getting 993 00:47:26,960 --> 00:47:30,399 Speaker 1: bull rushing into Dak Prescott throughout the game. So that's 994 00:47:30,440 --> 00:47:32,359 Speaker 1: why I want to focus on the left tackle. Now. 995 00:47:32,920 --> 00:47:36,480 Speaker 1: If a left tackle that you believe in it's sitting 996 00:47:36,520 --> 00:47:39,640 Speaker 1: there at number ten, then I believe that you gotta 997 00:47:39,680 --> 00:47:41,759 Speaker 1: take them. That's just that's just where I go with it. 998 00:47:42,000 --> 00:47:44,240 Speaker 1: You have some guys on defense that we said are 999 00:47:44,360 --> 00:47:47,360 Speaker 1: ascending as far as being able to show some some potential. 1000 00:47:47,880 --> 00:47:52,000 Speaker 1: So I'm still stuck at protecting Dak Prescott. Say, if 1001 00:47:52,000 --> 00:47:53,719 Speaker 1: you're gonna sign him to a four or five year deal, 1002 00:47:53,840 --> 00:47:56,319 Speaker 1: make sure that he has the offensive line and uh, 1003 00:47:57,000 --> 00:48:00,000 Speaker 1: and get you a left tackle. Wait, so you're gonna 1004 00:48:00,080 --> 00:48:02,200 Speaker 1: you're gonna sign back to that big deal and then 1005 00:48:02,640 --> 00:48:05,080 Speaker 1: and then take your first rounder on somebody who might 1006 00:48:05,120 --> 00:48:06,960 Speaker 1: not be able to be in there there to stop 1007 00:48:07,760 --> 00:48:10,520 Speaker 1: I'm put no, no, no, no no. That's why I said, 1008 00:48:10,520 --> 00:48:13,200 Speaker 1: if you have somebody that you would leave in that 1009 00:48:13,400 --> 00:48:15,600 Speaker 1: sitting at number ten, since we already missed up our 1010 00:48:15,680 --> 00:48:17,480 Speaker 1: draft order, Like if they would have done with me 1011 00:48:17,520 --> 00:48:19,040 Speaker 1: and now he said a long time ago, you would 1012 00:48:19,040 --> 00:48:21,279 Speaker 1: have been up there picking earlier, and you possibly had 1013 00:48:21,360 --> 00:48:24,680 Speaker 1: a guy that you could depend on being a starter 1014 00:48:24,760 --> 00:48:27,400 Speaker 1: on day one, Like just like cde loumb fell to 1015 00:48:27,520 --> 00:48:30,279 Speaker 1: you last season and you had to pick them. If 1016 00:48:30,360 --> 00:48:32,640 Speaker 1: your left tackle falls to you at number ten in 1017 00:48:32,760 --> 00:48:34,879 Speaker 1: the draft, I believe that you have to take them. 1018 00:48:35,160 --> 00:48:38,040 Speaker 1: You invest all this money in Dak Prescott, so you 1019 00:48:38,160 --> 00:48:40,239 Speaker 1: need to protect them and have some guys that are 1020 00:48:40,320 --> 00:48:43,160 Speaker 1: dependable out there and go back to that game plan 1021 00:48:43,280 --> 00:48:46,359 Speaker 1: that you had previously. Control the clock, make people figure 1022 00:48:46,360 --> 00:48:48,560 Speaker 1: your offensive line and control the line of scrimmage, and 1023 00:48:48,640 --> 00:48:51,680 Speaker 1: then play defense fifteen minutes out of the game and 1024 00:48:51,760 --> 00:48:54,000 Speaker 1: take the ball away because everybody's playing from behind. I 1025 00:48:54,080 --> 00:48:56,160 Speaker 1: think that's a recipe for us for winning. For what 1026 00:48:56,320 --> 00:49:01,720 Speaker 1: we have currently on the roster. You think that defense 1027 00:49:01,760 --> 00:49:03,759 Speaker 1: when we got currently on the on the roster right now, 1028 00:49:03,800 --> 00:49:08,800 Speaker 1: I can do that. No, listen, you're just trying to 1029 00:49:08,840 --> 00:49:12,560 Speaker 1: win the shootouts. You're trying to win shoot out to that. No, no, no, listen, listen. 1030 00:49:12,840 --> 00:49:15,239 Speaker 1: Already I already spoke to this. The guys that we 1031 00:49:15,360 --> 00:49:17,560 Speaker 1: have on the defense, most of them are still going 1032 00:49:17,600 --> 00:49:19,279 Speaker 1: to be here on the roster next year, and we 1033 00:49:19,360 --> 00:49:21,560 Speaker 1: talked about changing out some guys in the secondary. We 1034 00:49:21,680 --> 00:49:25,480 Speaker 1: talked about changing out essentially two guys, the safety and 1035 00:49:26,120 --> 00:49:28,880 Speaker 1: one of the corners. We still got a b and 1036 00:49:29,040 --> 00:49:31,920 Speaker 1: we got digs who are going to be starting as 1037 00:49:31,960 --> 00:49:33,919 Speaker 1: the number two, a number three corner on the roster. 1038 00:49:34,040 --> 00:49:36,400 Speaker 1: Were talked about going to get the safety. Our linebackers 1039 00:49:36,400 --> 00:49:38,920 Speaker 1: are already putting much Centenstone and our defensive line. For 1040 00:49:38,960 --> 00:49:41,160 Speaker 1: the most part, besides one day y'all talking about drafting 1041 00:49:41,160 --> 00:49:43,440 Speaker 1: in the first round, it's pretty much senten Stone, we 1042 00:49:43,520 --> 00:49:46,080 Speaker 1: got the two outside guys. We got another Gallimore who 1043 00:49:46,120 --> 00:49:52,680 Speaker 1: we drafted, and you got Tristan Hill. I'm sure I'm 1044 00:49:52,719 --> 00:49:58,479 Speaker 1: not here. He ain't going nowhere. Sure, watch the film, 1045 00:49:58,920 --> 00:50:07,240 Speaker 1: Watch the take. Wat's the take? Listen. Sorry, I can't 1046 00:50:07,360 --> 00:50:11,279 Speaker 1: sit around here and look at this Cowboys defense and 1047 00:50:11,480 --> 00:50:14,719 Speaker 1: think that with a potential tenth overall pick in the 1048 00:50:14,840 --> 00:50:17,080 Speaker 1: draft to use it on offense and somebody that's not 1049 00:50:17,200 --> 00:50:19,200 Speaker 1: in a walking starter, I can't. I can't see it. 1050 00:50:19,560 --> 00:50:23,640 Speaker 1: It doesn't make sense. And also, I go back to 1051 00:50:23,880 --> 00:50:26,920 Speaker 1: what we've talked about before. If you signed Dak Prescott, 1052 00:50:27,120 --> 00:50:29,160 Speaker 1: what do you need you need to start to bring 1053 00:50:29,239 --> 00:50:33,640 Speaker 1: in cost certainty on players you use a defensive selection. 1054 00:50:33,760 --> 00:50:37,360 Speaker 1: That's five years you have with a player versus getting 1055 00:50:37,400 --> 00:50:39,920 Speaker 1: them at four years in every other round. So that 1056 00:50:40,040 --> 00:50:42,080 Speaker 1: to me makes it even more imperative than I need 1057 00:50:42,120 --> 00:50:44,600 Speaker 1: a defensive guy who I can have here for five years, 1058 00:50:44,760 --> 00:50:46,440 Speaker 1: and I need to try to hit on a blue 1059 00:50:46,560 --> 00:50:51,560 Speaker 1: chip defensive player versus a offensive lineman who's going to 1060 00:50:52,080 --> 00:50:55,720 Speaker 1: potentially sit on the bench. That doesn't make sense. Guys 1061 00:50:56,040 --> 00:50:59,280 Speaker 1: in a financial, a salary cap world, that just doesn't 1062 00:50:59,320 --> 00:51:02,400 Speaker 1: make sense. What we're talking about sitting on the bench. Well, 1063 00:51:02,480 --> 00:51:05,120 Speaker 1: first of all, and don't forget about Taco. Charleston already 1064 00:51:05,120 --> 00:51:06,919 Speaker 1: talking about five years. All right, So let's not act 1065 00:51:07,000 --> 00:51:09,239 Speaker 1: like just because you draft a defensive player in the 1066 00:51:09,320 --> 00:51:11,960 Speaker 1: first round, are they gonna be here that long? And 1067 00:51:12,160 --> 00:51:15,520 Speaker 1: I'm pass when you pass on the better player. Yeah, 1068 00:51:15,600 --> 00:51:21,840 Speaker 1: I mean yeah, but but but but we did and 1069 00:51:22,080 --> 00:51:25,120 Speaker 1: and Taco was not here for five years. But remember 1070 00:51:25,360 --> 00:51:28,120 Speaker 1: I'm speaking of, is if we do not have Tyren 1071 00:51:28,200 --> 00:51:31,680 Speaker 1: Smith on the roster, this is my position, not draft 1072 00:51:31,719 --> 00:51:34,719 Speaker 1: a guy to be behind Tyrann Smith and sit on 1073 00:51:34,800 --> 00:51:37,160 Speaker 1: the bench. I'm speaking of we don't have Tyren Smith 1074 00:51:37,239 --> 00:51:39,640 Speaker 1: on the roster, and our and our left tackle is 1075 00:51:39,680 --> 00:51:41,880 Speaker 1: the guy who is going to come replace him. That 1076 00:51:42,040 --> 00:51:44,239 Speaker 1: is what I was talking about during the season, and 1077 00:51:44,320 --> 00:51:46,120 Speaker 1: that's what I'm talking about now, not a guy. Yeah, 1078 00:51:46,160 --> 00:51:47,799 Speaker 1: We're not gonna draft a gud number ten to come 1079 00:51:47,840 --> 00:51:50,520 Speaker 1: sit behind Tyren Smith. That would make no sense. Yeah, 1080 00:51:50,560 --> 00:51:52,759 Speaker 1: you got Tyre Smith on the roster, go defense. So 1081 00:51:53,640 --> 00:51:55,520 Speaker 1: all right, So I'll give you a name that I've 1082 00:51:55,560 --> 00:52:00,279 Speaker 1: seen at ten by certain people, Rashawn Slater off to 1083 00:52:00,320 --> 00:52:05,879 Speaker 1: tackle Northwestern. So if you take Slater at ten, where 1084 00:52:05,920 --> 00:52:09,520 Speaker 1: are you putting him at to start the season. It's 1085 00:52:09,560 --> 00:52:14,080 Speaker 1: Tyren Smith on the roster, Yes, well you don't take 1086 00:52:14,080 --> 00:52:16,399 Speaker 1: you don't take him at ten. My whole, my whole 1087 00:52:16,880 --> 00:52:19,920 Speaker 1: game plan was not to remember we had this discussion 1088 00:52:20,040 --> 00:52:22,720 Speaker 1: during the season who should be on the roster who shouldn't. 1089 00:52:22,760 --> 00:52:26,080 Speaker 1: I was adamant about Tyren Smith is not going to 1090 00:52:26,200 --> 00:52:28,920 Speaker 1: be able to be dependable. If you can move him 1091 00:52:29,360 --> 00:52:32,080 Speaker 1: or release him, get rid of especially if it could 1092 00:52:32,120 --> 00:52:34,240 Speaker 1: save you some money and get you a new offensive 1093 00:52:34,320 --> 00:52:36,960 Speaker 1: tackle who's going to be dependable out there, not Carnel Williams. 1094 00:52:37,120 --> 00:52:39,279 Speaker 1: That is what I said. And if you're able to 1095 00:52:39,360 --> 00:52:41,480 Speaker 1: do that, I still believe that if Tyre Smith is 1096 00:52:41,480 --> 00:52:44,480 Speaker 1: on the roster, knew your church, we ain't taking the 1097 00:52:44,560 --> 00:52:47,839 Speaker 1: tackle at number ten. We're going defense like, yeah, you're 1098 00:52:47,880 --> 00:52:50,359 Speaker 1: not going to stack him the position if Tyren Smith 1099 00:52:50,440 --> 00:52:53,320 Speaker 1: is still out there. So just to clarify, just to 1100 00:52:53,360 --> 00:52:56,280 Speaker 1: clarify things, if you were the GM, in your opinion, 1101 00:52:57,080 --> 00:52:59,280 Speaker 1: you would either release or try to find a trade 1102 00:52:59,320 --> 00:53:03,080 Speaker 1: partner for iron Smith. Absolutely, if I can find something 1103 00:53:03,080 --> 00:53:05,720 Speaker 1: that worked, if I could, if I could find something 1104 00:53:05,800 --> 00:53:10,440 Speaker 1: that worked for me, absolutely, and listen, bad back, bad neck, 1105 00:53:11,040 --> 00:53:13,839 Speaker 1: bad knees is next he has, he ain't been able 1106 00:53:13,880 --> 00:53:16,040 Speaker 1: to play out there. There's not nothing against the guy, 1107 00:53:16,200 --> 00:53:18,359 Speaker 1: how hard he works or how good he is at 1108 00:53:18,400 --> 00:53:21,040 Speaker 1: the position. We're talking about straight health, some stuff that 1109 00:53:21,120 --> 00:53:23,080 Speaker 1: he can't even control. He can lift as much as 1110 00:53:23,120 --> 00:53:25,040 Speaker 1: he wants to, he could do as much rehab as 1111 00:53:25,080 --> 00:53:27,640 Speaker 1: he wants to, and he's still not been able to 1112 00:53:27,719 --> 00:53:30,320 Speaker 1: be available. And that's just that. That's the fact. You 1113 00:53:30,400 --> 00:53:32,520 Speaker 1: can go back and see. And when he's not out there, 1114 00:53:32,840 --> 00:53:36,640 Speaker 1: our offensive line is in limbo. You have major major 1115 00:53:36,760 --> 00:53:40,440 Speaker 1: issues when Tyron Smith is not playing in the game. Okay, 1116 00:53:40,560 --> 00:53:43,440 Speaker 1: so I'll just throw your dead cap money out here. Okay, 1117 00:53:44,520 --> 00:53:47,800 Speaker 1: the dead cap hit for Tyron Smith in twenty twenty 1118 00:53:47,840 --> 00:53:53,719 Speaker 1: one is eight point eight million dollars. So that's that's 1119 00:53:53,800 --> 00:53:57,399 Speaker 1: the that's the dead cap hit. His overall cap hit 1120 00:53:57,800 --> 00:54:03,239 Speaker 1: is fourteen million bucks, so too much, um so that 1121 00:54:03,440 --> 00:54:05,200 Speaker 1: that's it. If he if he plays for you, it's 1122 00:54:05,239 --> 00:54:07,640 Speaker 1: fourteen million bucks for to pay the thirty year old. 1123 00:54:07,880 --> 00:54:09,759 Speaker 1: If you want to move on from him, it's gonna 1124 00:54:09,800 --> 00:54:12,080 Speaker 1: cost you eight point eight million bucks, which means you're 1125 00:54:12,120 --> 00:54:15,200 Speaker 1: gonna basically split it up. But a post June June 1126 00:54:15,280 --> 00:54:18,359 Speaker 1: one cut pay four million. This year and then pay 1127 00:54:18,480 --> 00:54:20,560 Speaker 1: four million against your cap next year. That's what it's 1128 00:54:20,560 --> 00:54:22,720 Speaker 1: going to be. How much how much of a customer 1129 00:54:22,719 --> 00:54:25,480 Speaker 1: this year? How much a customers year? When he was 1130 00:54:25,520 --> 00:54:32,480 Speaker 1: on the field. His salary cap hit this year was 1131 00:54:34,440 --> 00:54:38,160 Speaker 1: six point four million dollars because they restructured five point 1132 00:54:38,280 --> 00:54:44,520 Speaker 1: three the Cowboys came. How many games that deals? Thank you? 1133 00:54:44,600 --> 00:54:48,279 Speaker 1: How many games that he plays six so so so 1134 00:54:48,600 --> 00:54:51,000 Speaker 1: so so. The point is, the point is, if he's 1135 00:54:51,000 --> 00:54:52,960 Speaker 1: not able to be on the field, why are we 1136 00:54:53,040 --> 00:54:55,239 Speaker 1: talking about cap hits. You're paying the guy not to 1137 00:54:55,360 --> 00:54:57,799 Speaker 1: even be out there, and you have to worry about 1138 00:54:57,880 --> 00:55:00,320 Speaker 1: him not being out there for the foreseeable future because 1139 00:55:00,360 --> 00:55:03,640 Speaker 1: he's been subject to injury for the last few years. 1140 00:55:03,800 --> 00:55:05,920 Speaker 1: So you can say, hey, eight million dollars cap hit, 1141 00:55:06,080 --> 00:55:08,600 Speaker 1: but a dude sitting on the sideline get paid fourteen 1142 00:55:08,680 --> 00:55:11,680 Speaker 1: million dollars. You're losing. It's a loss just because you're 1143 00:55:11,680 --> 00:55:15,720 Speaker 1: trying to say some cape. Okay, what I will Okay, fine, 1144 00:55:15,920 --> 00:55:20,200 Speaker 1: I'll go back into what I've seen from the Jones 1145 00:55:20,280 --> 00:55:23,719 Speaker 1: family and how they operated for years. Flozell Adams was 1146 00:55:23,760 --> 00:55:26,000 Speaker 1: a guy who had issues, and they kept rolling with 1147 00:55:26,080 --> 00:55:31,080 Speaker 1: the issues until finally Flozell couldn't go anymore, and they 1148 00:55:31,200 --> 00:55:35,719 Speaker 1: ended up bringing drafting Tyrant Smith at number nine. If 1149 00:55:35,840 --> 00:55:38,719 Speaker 1: you were going to move off from Tyrn Smith, I 1150 00:55:38,880 --> 00:55:41,600 Speaker 1: think it'll be in the twenty after twenty twenty one, 1151 00:55:41,880 --> 00:55:44,680 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty two. It's a lot more manageable for 1152 00:55:44,840 --> 00:55:46,640 Speaker 1: you to go ahead and do it. But I don't 1153 00:55:46,680 --> 00:55:50,360 Speaker 1: see the Jones is moving off from Tyrn Smith. I 1154 00:55:50,560 --> 00:55:53,480 Speaker 1: just don't. That's that's just And I understand, Danny, You're right, 1155 00:55:53,560 --> 00:55:56,239 Speaker 1: backs do not get better. Is it something you look 1156 00:55:56,280 --> 00:55:58,560 Speaker 1: at it ten? Is it something you look at it ten? 1157 00:55:58,600 --> 00:56:00,520 Speaker 1: With the kid from Northwestern? Which lot? I mean, there 1158 00:56:00,560 --> 00:56:02,799 Speaker 1: are certain people who are saying do this, Danny. You're 1159 00:56:02,880 --> 00:56:05,640 Speaker 1: not alone, Okay, make sure to say, Danny, Danny mccraie 1160 00:56:05,719 --> 00:56:07,240 Speaker 1: is not crazy here. There are a lot of people. 1161 00:56:08,120 --> 00:56:10,840 Speaker 1: This is what should be done here. Okay. So so 1162 00:56:10,960 --> 00:56:16,240 Speaker 1: it's not some crazy idea. I've saw the great Ozzy 1163 00:56:16,400 --> 00:56:20,600 Speaker 1: Newsom do this. In Baltimore, where he selected Jonathan Ogden 1164 00:56:20,840 --> 00:56:23,799 Speaker 1: number four overall, he still had big Zeus Orlando Brown 1165 00:56:23,840 --> 00:56:26,040 Speaker 1: out there at left tackle. He put John to Ogden 1166 00:56:26,080 --> 00:56:28,839 Speaker 1: at guard and eventually the next season pushed him out 1167 00:56:28,880 --> 00:56:30,759 Speaker 1: to left tackle. He had a Hall of Fame career. 1168 00:56:31,000 --> 00:56:34,160 Speaker 1: So Danny, what you're saying is not something that hasn't 1169 00:56:34,200 --> 00:56:37,360 Speaker 1: been done. But at the same time, Ozzy didn't have 1170 00:56:37,440 --> 00:56:40,840 Speaker 1: a horrible defense like the Dallas Cowboys, and the Cowboys 1171 00:56:40,880 --> 00:56:44,600 Speaker 1: have a horrible, horrible defense here that at this point 1172 00:56:44,600 --> 00:56:47,520 Speaker 1: in time, if you commit these dollars to the left tackle, 1173 00:56:47,840 --> 00:56:50,560 Speaker 1: you're saying, McCarthy, I need you to score thirty eight 1174 00:56:50,600 --> 00:56:52,279 Speaker 1: a game, and then we're just gonna try and win 1175 00:56:52,360 --> 00:56:55,640 Speaker 1: these games. Thirty eight thirty six. I don't know that 1176 00:56:55,800 --> 00:56:58,480 Speaker 1: that's kind of much. One. My math is just a 1177 00:56:58,520 --> 00:57:00,680 Speaker 1: little different. Pay you pay him fourteen. If he on 1178 00:57:00,760 --> 00:57:03,759 Speaker 1: the roster, you lose eight if he's not. If you're 1179 00:57:03,760 --> 00:57:05,920 Speaker 1: not on the roster, you're saving six. You're picking the 1180 00:57:06,000 --> 00:57:07,640 Speaker 1: dude in the draft, and you're going to spend that 1181 00:57:07,719 --> 00:57:09,560 Speaker 1: money somewhere else for a guy who might not even 1182 00:57:09,640 --> 00:57:11,680 Speaker 1: be on the field for the entire season. If I'm 1183 00:57:11,719 --> 00:57:14,800 Speaker 1: doing my math right, I'm not paying a D fourteen 1184 00:57:15,080 --> 00:57:16,880 Speaker 1: when I can get rid of them for eight and 1185 00:57:17,200 --> 00:57:19,400 Speaker 1: put that other six somewhere. If I can't depend on 1186 00:57:19,520 --> 00:57:21,160 Speaker 1: him to be on the field for the entire season. 1187 00:57:21,320 --> 00:57:23,600 Speaker 1: That that's that's just the way my math is working out, 1188 00:57:24,120 --> 00:57:26,920 Speaker 1: you know, and uh, we'll see how it happens. But 1189 00:57:27,000 --> 00:57:28,640 Speaker 1: you're right, I'm not the Jones because I would have 1190 00:57:28,680 --> 00:57:31,720 Speaker 1: also paid that two years ago, so you know, we'll 1191 00:57:31,760 --> 00:57:35,800 Speaker 1: see how this goes. I mean that's when I used 1192 00:57:35,800 --> 00:57:37,640 Speaker 1: to work. But I used to do sports radio. I 1193 00:57:37,760 --> 00:57:39,840 Speaker 1: used to talk about how this these are the things. 1194 00:57:39,920 --> 00:57:42,120 Speaker 1: There's thoughts on what we would do, but then it's 1195 00:57:42,160 --> 00:57:45,120 Speaker 1: what the what the Jones family will do? You know, 1196 00:57:45,240 --> 00:57:47,600 Speaker 1: I would have you know, there are so many different 1197 00:57:47,760 --> 00:57:49,560 Speaker 1: things out well I would have done this, but but 1198 00:57:49,920 --> 00:57:52,000 Speaker 1: I'm not the Joneses. And that's you know, where they're 1199 00:57:52,040 --> 00:57:55,000 Speaker 1: comfortable at. I mean, personally, one of the big problems 1200 00:57:55,040 --> 00:57:58,840 Speaker 1: that that I have is the restructuring, consistent restructuring they do, 1201 00:57:59,040 --> 00:58:01,040 Speaker 1: because the more you reach tructure these contracts means you 1202 00:58:01,120 --> 00:58:03,000 Speaker 1: push it down the line, and you keep pushing it 1203 00:58:03,040 --> 00:58:04,760 Speaker 1: down the line, and then you're just like, well, we'll 1204 00:58:04,800 --> 00:58:07,080 Speaker 1: pay it here at some point in time. So when 1205 00:58:07,480 --> 00:58:09,760 Speaker 1: they cut Dez Bryant, all that money hit right there. 1206 00:58:09,800 --> 00:58:11,800 Speaker 1: When they had to cut Tony Room, all that money hit. 1207 00:58:12,040 --> 00:58:13,800 Speaker 1: You know, if you stop doing a restructure and just 1208 00:58:13,880 --> 00:58:15,680 Speaker 1: all right, boom, we're gonna lock in here, We're just 1209 00:58:15,720 --> 00:58:17,440 Speaker 1: gonna pay this money, and so when it comes down 1210 00:58:17,440 --> 00:58:18,880 Speaker 1: to let the guy go, you can say, hey, look 1211 00:58:19,000 --> 00:58:20,680 Speaker 1: we've paid all the bonus money. We're good. We can 1212 00:58:20,800 --> 00:58:22,400 Speaker 1: let the guy go. We don't have a major cap hit. 1213 00:58:23,080 --> 00:58:24,800 Speaker 1: These are issues. They still got to pay off the 1214 00:58:24,880 --> 00:58:27,800 Speaker 1: Travis Frederick money on this year's salary cap because they 1215 00:58:27,920 --> 00:58:30,920 Speaker 1: broke it up over two years. So it does make 1216 00:58:30,960 --> 00:58:34,200 Speaker 1: it harder to say goodbye to people. And look, what's 1217 00:58:34,240 --> 00:58:37,400 Speaker 1: the one thing we've constantly seen with Jerry Jones as 1218 00:58:37,480 --> 00:58:40,480 Speaker 1: an owner. He likes to keep guys around. And you 1219 00:58:40,640 --> 00:58:43,800 Speaker 1: can say guys have stayed here probably a year or 1220 00:58:43,880 --> 00:58:46,080 Speaker 1: two years longer than they needed to be. I can 1221 00:58:46,120 --> 00:58:49,200 Speaker 1: say it about Flozell, I can say it about Jason Witten. 1222 00:58:49,400 --> 00:58:52,000 Speaker 1: I can say it right now about Sean Lee. Sean Lee. 1223 00:58:52,080 --> 00:58:55,160 Speaker 1: They're guys who end up you're like, oh this Tyrone Crawford. 1224 00:58:55,240 --> 00:58:56,680 Speaker 1: I mean, they're guys here when you look at it 1225 00:58:56,760 --> 00:58:59,040 Speaker 1: and say, man, should dude have been going about a 1226 00:58:59,120 --> 00:59:01,800 Speaker 1: year ago and two years in New England, Bill Belichick 1227 00:59:01,840 --> 00:59:03,560 Speaker 1: would have got rid of them. Here, they get to 1228 00:59:03,640 --> 00:59:05,600 Speaker 1: stay around, and they stay around one or two years 1229 00:59:05,640 --> 00:59:07,840 Speaker 1: too long. So Danny, this may be a case with 1230 00:59:07,960 --> 00:59:10,160 Speaker 1: Tyren Smith ends up being one of those guys that 1231 00:59:10,280 --> 00:59:12,360 Speaker 1: you end up keeping them maybe a year too long. 1232 00:59:12,600 --> 00:59:14,040 Speaker 1: And you could be right at the end of the 1233 00:59:14,120 --> 00:59:16,120 Speaker 1: seat that the twenty twenty one season, we could be said. 1234 00:59:16,160 --> 00:59:18,160 Speaker 1: You know what, Danny, you were right. You tried to 1235 00:59:18,200 --> 00:59:22,680 Speaker 1: tell us I couldn't be wrong, so I couldn't be wrong. 1236 00:59:23,240 --> 00:59:25,560 Speaker 1: He plays the entire season, I was wrong. If he 1237 00:59:25,640 --> 00:59:27,600 Speaker 1: plays the whole season, I'm wrong. I'm just going based 1238 00:59:27,640 --> 00:59:29,160 Speaker 1: off what happened in the last two years. I just 1239 00:59:29,720 --> 00:59:35,440 Speaker 1: have born, Yeahyborn in Atlanta Founder's game. I'm still seeing it. 1240 00:59:35,480 --> 00:59:37,800 Speaker 1: I'm still seeing Clay Born in Atlanti Founder's game. I'm 1241 00:59:37,840 --> 00:59:40,040 Speaker 1: seeing I'm seeing the destruction that was called when Tyren 1242 00:59:40,080 --> 00:59:42,240 Speaker 1: Smith wasn't able to play, and I'm seeing the destruction 1243 00:59:42,320 --> 00:59:44,400 Speaker 1: of the offensive line this year when we missed ELC 1244 00:59:44,600 --> 00:59:48,600 Speaker 1: and Tyren Smith again this season. Now, based on what 1245 00:59:48,720 --> 00:59:51,360 Speaker 1: you said, and this is me, Okay, if you want 1246 00:59:51,400 --> 00:59:53,880 Speaker 1: to go offensive line, then you need to sign Dak 1247 00:59:53,920 --> 00:59:56,680 Speaker 1: Prescott so you have available money and free agency and 1248 00:59:56,760 --> 00:59:58,880 Speaker 1: you can start to meet some of these defensive meets 1249 00:59:59,080 --> 01:00:01,000 Speaker 1: and you're making a different the coordinator change. I mean, 1250 01:00:01,200 --> 01:00:05,560 Speaker 1: all of this happened. I mean so much, because I mean, 1251 01:00:05,920 --> 01:00:07,600 Speaker 1: you know, you just can't sit up here and say, hey, 1252 01:00:07,600 --> 01:00:10,400 Speaker 1: we're gonna draft this left tackle and we we only 1253 01:00:10,440 --> 01:00:12,360 Speaker 1: go do a one year franchise deal with Dak and 1254 01:00:12,440 --> 01:00:15,280 Speaker 1: then Dak going I mean this, you know if this 1255 01:00:15,440 --> 01:00:22,240 Speaker 1: church right what I'm here right now, Manna Prescott, forty 1256 01:00:22,280 --> 01:00:24,680 Speaker 1: two mill We're gonna use our first round pick on 1257 01:00:24,760 --> 01:00:28,000 Speaker 1: the offensive tackle?
