We kind of 48 00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:38,520 Speaker 3: alluded to it a little bit last week, and there 49 00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:41,440 Speaker 3: was a feeling around the building that it was done. 50 00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:44,959 Speaker 3: Missed the final seven games due to injury, and it 51 00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:48,040 Speaker 3: kind of it felt like it was the right time 52 00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:50,720 Speaker 3: to ride off into the sunset. The offensive line has 53 00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:53,040 Speaker 3: some depth that they can work with behind him. They 54 00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:57,320 Speaker 3: played well without him up front, not the same as 55 00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:02,280 Speaker 3: strengthened prime Zach Martin, but still it was a bummer 56 00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:04,000 Speaker 3: to see that his career is coming to an end 57 00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:05,560 Speaker 3: because it was a hell of a career to watch. 58 00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:08,760 Speaker 7: Yeah, we've been talking about it for the large majority 59 00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:11,560 Speaker 7: of last season because you know, just more and more 60 00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:13,680 Speaker 7: as it went on, you saw what used to be 61 00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:16,600 Speaker 7: a resident iron man in Zach Martin. I mean, it's 62 00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:19,000 Speaker 7: not so long ago that we could point at Zach 63 00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:22,079 Speaker 7: Martin and know that every single snap, every single week, 64 00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:24,079 Speaker 7: that he would be on the field, And just over 65 00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:27,040 Speaker 7: the past season plus, I'd say, his body just started 66 00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:29,600 Speaker 7: to kind of not let that be the case anymore, 67 00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:33,760 Speaker 7: and his play suffered because of it. And unfortunately, we 68 00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:36,840 Speaker 7: saw a situation where you know, Zach went down with 69 00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:39,680 Speaker 7: the season ending ankle injury and brought Kaffman, to his credit, 70 00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:41,720 Speaker 7: was able to come in and stabilize things. But if 71 00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:46,920 Speaker 7: you're talking about losing Zach Martin and gaining stability. That 72 00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:51,560 Speaker 7: tells you where he was in the career. So incomparable career, 73 00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:54,040 Speaker 7: I cannot think Zach Martin enough for what he did 74 00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:56,640 Speaker 7: for this organization. I hate that it's another legend going 75 00:03:56,640 --> 00:04:00,480 Speaker 7: out without some jewelry, but it doesn't in fact, not 76 00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:03,360 Speaker 7: only in the Zach Martin era, but it ends that 77 00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:07,200 Speaker 7: particular era when we're talking about Tyrone Smith, Zach Martin, 78 00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:13,000 Speaker 7: Travis Frederick, Frederick having retired to the GPS, GBS. So yeah, 79 00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:16,599 Speaker 7: it was time, most certainly. And like you said, Josh, 80 00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:18,520 Speaker 7: next stop is Canton for sure. 81 00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:20,440 Speaker 8: I mean when I think of Zach Martin, I always 82 00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:23,320 Speaker 8: think of the draft party that was at at and 83 00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:24,040 Speaker 8: T Stadium. 84 00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:25,320 Speaker 6: I was at that draft party. 85 00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:26,040 Speaker 4: Were you really? 86 00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:27,479 Speaker 6: I was at that draft party. 87 00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:30,360 Speaker 8: And I remember the crowd at the time our pick 88 00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:33,839 Speaker 8: was up. We were on the clock. Everyone's chanting not 89 00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:40,280 Speaker 8: Zach Martin, Johnny Football. And I was there like no, please, no, 90 00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:43,560 Speaker 8: And Zach Martin's name was announced and there was a. 91 00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:46,080 Speaker 6: Flutter around the room. 92 00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:50,440 Speaker 8: The room, being at and T Stadium was like who's that? 93 00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:54,760 Speaker 8: But ended up being one of the greatest Dallas Cowboys 94 00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:57,440 Speaker 8: ever of all time. I will never forget that moment 95 00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:01,000 Speaker 8: when we drafted him, feeling confident about like, Okay, we 96 00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:04,279 Speaker 8: like what we have here. Let's build behind a great 97 00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:08,159 Speaker 8: quarterback that we already have and protect him. To me, 98 00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:11,160 Speaker 8: the legacy of Zach Martin, will I mean for that 99 00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:13,440 Speaker 8: to happen before I started working here, and then for 100 00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:16,000 Speaker 8: my very first season to be the Zach Martin hold 101 00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:19,800 Speaker 8: out at camp time? You know, tis a flat circle, 102 00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:21,919 Speaker 8: at least personally for me, obviously. 103 00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:22,840 Speaker 2: The his. 104 00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:26,559 Speaker 6: Legacy speaks for itself, it really does. 105 00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:28,800 Speaker 8: And seeing him out there each and every week knowing 106 00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:31,200 Speaker 8: confidently he's not going to get a holding call and 107 00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:33,760 Speaker 8: he's going to play his ass off right us. 108 00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:38,080 Speaker 2: Another ridiculous stat you drive what is the stats? So 109 00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:38,960 Speaker 2: repeat it? 110 00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:39,520 Speaker 5: Repeat it? 111 00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:42,680 Speaker 3: For the number of first team All pros, I outlined 112 00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:47,200 Speaker 3: that earlier seven number of accepted holding penalties throughout his 113 00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:53,640 Speaker 3: what was it eleven year seven, the same amounts of 114 00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:56,200 Speaker 3: first team not just all pros. He actually had more 115 00:05:56,200 --> 00:06:00,600 Speaker 3: All Pro nods than he did except hold hold penalties, 116 00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:04,159 Speaker 3: but first team All Pro nons He had the exact 117 00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:04,760 Speaker 3: same number. 118 00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:05,360 Speaker 2: Seven. 119 00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:08,400 Speaker 8: Insane and his legacy speaks for itself. Like I said, 120 00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:12,640 Speaker 8: next up Ken obviously, but it is interesting to see 121 00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:15,600 Speaker 8: how the offensive line is going to change now with 122 00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:17,880 Speaker 8: the with Zach Martin moving on. 123 00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:21,440 Speaker 9: I think that this most recent year was a transition 124 00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:23,440 Speaker 9: piece for them, and I think, you know, how he's 125 00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:25,200 Speaker 9: going out is obviously not the way that he wants 126 00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:27,240 Speaker 9: to go out, but honestly, I think it's more beneficial 127 00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:29,920 Speaker 9: for the Cowboys organization. But in terms of what he's 128 00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:32,440 Speaker 9: been to this organization, you guys have already hit on it, 129 00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:34,680 Speaker 9: and you guys already touched on everything. He's an amazing 130 00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:38,560 Speaker 9: human being, first and foremost great family man. You know 131 00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:40,159 Speaker 9: what he did on the field, what he did for 132 00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:42,479 Speaker 9: his teammates, and what he did for this offensive line. 133 00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:44,680 Speaker 9: For all these years, you always knew that you have 134 00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:46,800 Speaker 9: one solid piece that you never had to worry about. 135 00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:50,560 Speaker 9: And whenever you can have somebody on your team that 136 00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:52,920 Speaker 9: you don't have to be concerned about whether or not 137 00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:54,880 Speaker 9: they're going to come prepared, whether or not they're going 138 00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:57,200 Speaker 9: to come with their right mindset, and whether they are 139 00:06:57,200 --> 00:07:01,000 Speaker 9: going to deliver in terms of performance, is that you know, 140 00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:03,279 Speaker 9: he is that guy. He has been that guy for 141 00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:05,920 Speaker 9: the Dallas Cowboys and he will get rewarded for that. 142 00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:09,240 Speaker 9: And to ensure that everybody going forward, forever and ever 143 00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:12,880 Speaker 9: will always remember who he was in the league standard. 144 00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:14,880 Speaker 8: I'll just say I'll be the first to say, you know, 145 00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:18,240 Speaker 8: you're welcome on Talking Cowboys whenever you're ready to be 146 00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:19,520 Speaker 8: an official host. 147 00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:24,640 Speaker 7: Of Bigger Cheer, A bigger cheer A large human that's 148 00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:25,960 Speaker 7: this chair can fit. 149 00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:26,880 Speaker 2: Nate Newton. 150 00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:30,480 Speaker 6: First first dips on on Zach Martin. 151 00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:32,520 Speaker 3: Yeah, we called it. He's gonna be there's gonna be 152 00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:34,720 Speaker 3: an extra mind right here if he wants it. I 153 00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:38,240 Speaker 3: don't see Zach as that type of personality. What do 154 00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:40,240 Speaker 3: you mean, He's not Jason Kelsey's. 155 00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:40,760 Speaker 2: He would. 156 00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:43,200 Speaker 3: I think it's more likely he would go into coaching 157 00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:45,480 Speaker 3: than it would be broadcasting, and I don't think either 158 00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:46,640 Speaker 3: one of them is possible. 159 00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:50,360 Speaker 2: I think he's gonna just family, hang family, family, Yeah. 160 00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:52,320 Speaker 3: I think which is I think the testament to who 161 00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:54,440 Speaker 3: he is as a person and what he's done throughout 162 00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:57,880 Speaker 3: his career to kind of earn that that point. So yeah, 163 00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:01,240 Speaker 3: whatever he ends up doing next, h we certainly wish 164 00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:02,920 Speaker 3: him the best. And I think there's going to be 165 00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:05,400 Speaker 3: an official announcement at some point because all of this 166 00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:07,680 Speaker 3: is reports and that he had told the team, and 167 00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:09,840 Speaker 3: that was kind of the initial stuff. There will be 168 00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:12,440 Speaker 3: an official announcement. And another thing to keep in mind, 169 00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:16,240 Speaker 3: there will be a cut because his contract is still there. 170 00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:19,160 Speaker 3: And even though he's a what is it an exclusive 171 00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:22,720 Speaker 3: rights free agent or one of those, he's got void years. 172 00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:23,360 Speaker 2: He's got a void year. 173 00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:25,800 Speaker 9: How does that work in regards to the cap? Do 174 00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:28,200 Speaker 9: you guys know when somebody retires, what does that do 175 00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:31,600 Speaker 9: to their contract? Because it's not like just cutting somebody. 176 00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:35,080 Speaker 3: Right, the rest of that guaranteed money is on your cap. 177 00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:36,920 Speaker 2: And spread out over those foid years. 178 00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:40,040 Speaker 7: I believe it would save you actually cap space because 179 00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:42,960 Speaker 7: it's treated like a pro rate. Yeah, so you don't 180 00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:46,040 Speaker 7: take the entire the entirety of the remaining hit as 181 00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:49,280 Speaker 7: a one time so amateurize, right exactly, So. 182 00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:53,240 Speaker 3: Over time, Like like you said, there's but there will 183 00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:55,480 Speaker 3: be a cut first off, So don't be alarmed whenever 184 00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:58,080 Speaker 3: it says like it pops up and there's a bleacher. 185 00:08:57,920 --> 00:08:59,880 Speaker 4: Don't do it though, I'm not gonna do it. 186 00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:03,679 Speaker 3: Uh, there's a bleacher report not notification that Cowboys showed 187 00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:06,680 Speaker 3: ten time pro bowler, I mean and seven times first 188 00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:07,760 Speaker 3: the door. 189 00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:09,880 Speaker 4: Somebody's gonna do it. Don't click on it. 190 00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:11,040 Speaker 2: It's stupid. Don't click. 191 00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:13,679 Speaker 4: Yeah, shut like it, just don't. 192 00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:16,320 Speaker 2: Don't les procedural procedure part of it. 193 00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:19,319 Speaker 3: So with that being said, and Isaiah, you kind of 194 00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:20,880 Speaker 3: alluded to this earlier, what's. 195 00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:22,439 Speaker 4: Next for the Cowboys offensive line? 196 00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:22,920 Speaker 2: Where do you go? 197 00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:23,160 Speaker 10: Pa? 198 00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:25,120 Speaker 2: Here? I mean, I think we've been hearing some murmurs. 199 00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:28,000 Speaker 9: You know, don't know anything until obviously these guys start 200 00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:30,600 Speaker 9: stepping on the field for OTAs and the draft is 201 00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:33,120 Speaker 9: done and free agency kind of goes through. I don't 202 00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:35,440 Speaker 9: think you have a full understanding. But in regards to 203 00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:39,160 Speaker 9: who we currently have on this roster, it's sounding like, yeah, 204 00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:42,400 Speaker 9: I says, sounding like, sounding like, sounding like they like 205 00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:45,400 Speaker 9: Hoffman potentially at the center position, and they're planning on 206 00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:48,400 Speaker 9: moving Cooper b B to the right guard position. That's 207 00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:51,280 Speaker 9: what I'm hearing again, it's all rumors. We don't know 208 00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:52,880 Speaker 9: until they step on the field and we see us 209 00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:55,559 Speaker 9: a ball snapped. But if they were to do that, 210 00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:58,400 Speaker 9: that makes sense because they were trying to teach Cooper 211 00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:01,080 Speaker 9: b B to play center and that's not his natural position. 212 00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:05,320 Speaker 9: Now obviously there's a void that was not there originally. 213 00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:07,240 Speaker 4: If Zach Martin it wasn't in the car. 214 00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:08,520 Speaker 2: It wasn't there before. 215 00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:10,400 Speaker 9: So now if he does walk away from the game 216 00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:12,880 Speaker 9: of football, now there's a large See what I did there, 217 00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:15,280 Speaker 9: There's a large void there at the right guard position. 218 00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:18,600 Speaker 9: So I can move now Cooper BB to his more 219 00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:24,800 Speaker 9: natural position, and I could put the Brahma bull with 220 00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:25,840 Speaker 9: his hand on the bar replay. 221 00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:29,520 Speaker 7: So I'll read to you guys, because Stephen Jones and 222 00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:31,760 Speaker 7: Tommy Yarsh is in Indie right now. He beat us 223 00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:33,480 Speaker 7: by a couple of days. He's doing sensational work. He 224 00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:35,439 Speaker 7: spoke with Stephen Jones and Stephen Jones. 225 00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:36,560 Speaker 2: Yeah man. 226 00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:42,520 Speaker 7: Stephen Jones basically echoed a sentiment that Connor Riley told 227 00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:46,040 Speaker 7: us in availability early last week. This is a quote 228 00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:48,600 Speaker 7: from Connor Riley, which if you don't remember, he is 229 00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:51,880 Speaker 7: now the former offensive coordinator and offensive line coach of 230 00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:57,800 Speaker 7: one Kansas State University. Which is what did Cooper BB? Yeah, 231 00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:00,440 Speaker 7: there you go, Manhattan, and we ain't talking about New York. 232 00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:03,439 Speaker 2: Yeah, little apple, right, the little one right, And I quote. 233 00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:05,280 Speaker 7: I think one of the best things about Cooper BB 234 00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:08,720 Speaker 7: is his versatility. He was a two time All American 235 00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:11,480 Speaker 7: at guard for Kansas State, started some games at tackle 236 00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:15,160 Speaker 7: and right guard dot dot dot. He gives us an 237 00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:18,560 Speaker 7: opportunity to find the best fit for everybody up front. 238 00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:22,080 Speaker 7: End quote, this is Connor Riley, your new offensive line coach, 239 00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:26,079 Speaker 7: previously an offensive line coach for Cooper BB, basically letting 240 00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:29,280 Speaker 7: you know that they're going into the OTAs and mini 241 00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:32,760 Speaker 7: camp and training camp looking for the best five up front. 242 00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:35,640 Speaker 7: So as we have this conversation, Cooper BB is still 243 00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:37,920 Speaker 7: the center, but it does sound like to your point, Isaiah, 244 00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:38,760 Speaker 7: that could change. 245 00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:40,040 Speaker 2: It's a very fluid situation. 246 00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:42,800 Speaker 7: You might see brock Hoffman go over the center, but 247 00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:45,520 Speaker 7: it's also contingent upon what does or does not happen 248 00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:47,640 Speaker 7: in free agency, what does does not happen with the 249 00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:51,360 Speaker 7: NFL draft. But you love to hear this from Connor Riley, 250 00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:53,400 Speaker 7: heard it from Clayton Adams. You're hearing it echoed by 251 00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:58,440 Speaker 7: Stephen Jones. Cowboys are no longer going into this situation saying, well, 252 00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:01,120 Speaker 7: you know, no matter what, he's going to be here, 253 00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:04,000 Speaker 7: he's going to be here. I think the only places 254 00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:07,160 Speaker 7: I'll say plural, we had three places. No, Ter Steele 255 00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:09,400 Speaker 7: is at right tackle, yep, we know, Tyler Smith is 256 00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:12,040 Speaker 7: at left guard and I'll go ahead and say Tyler 257 00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:15,439 Speaker 7: Guidon is left tackle because Tyler Smith is right guard. 258 00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:18,720 Speaker 7: So as far as center versus right guard is concerned, 259 00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:21,600 Speaker 7: I think it's going to be a battle in Connor 260 00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:23,360 Speaker 7: Riley and Clayton Adams. They're going to figure out what 261 00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:24,720 Speaker 7: the best front five looks like. 262 00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:27,960 Speaker 2: I mean, I love what fans have been warning for 263 00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:28,560 Speaker 2: so long. 264 00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:31,400 Speaker 8: Sure, well, I alluded to the question last week, and honestly, 265 00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:33,680 Speaker 8: it wasn't because of the Zach Martin, the lingering Zach 266 00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:35,520 Speaker 8: Martin future that was not in the cards for me. 267 00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:40,600 Speaker 8: I was genuinely curious before Zach Martin is not going 268 00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:46,720 Speaker 8: to be here? Yeah, does twelve sound like a or 269 00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:48,400 Speaker 8: does offensive line sound like a pick? 270 00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:50,800 Speaker 6: They would make it twelve. This is before all of 271 00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:51,400 Speaker 6: this happened. 272 00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:54,199 Speaker 8: And now I'm like, okay, well, this kind of seems 273 00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:57,720 Speaker 8: like that is a clear indication to me that it's 274 00:12:57,760 --> 00:12:58,600 Speaker 8: a spot you look at. 275 00:12:58,720 --> 00:12:59,160 Speaker 4: For sure. 276 00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:01,560 Speaker 3: I think if the right player is there at twelve, 277 00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:05,200 Speaker 3: they'll take him there. But I don't know if there's 278 00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:09,800 Speaker 3: that right player in this draft. If any other draft 279 00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:13,120 Speaker 3: across the board, I think I would say Dallas in 280 00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:16,000 Speaker 3: this same scenario because I completely agree with you. I 281 00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:17,960 Speaker 3: think in this scenario, you would say, let's build for 282 00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:20,280 Speaker 3: the future. Let's build around Guid and let's build around Smith, 283 00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:23,240 Speaker 3: Let's build around bb and we'll have four guys up 284 00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:25,439 Speaker 3: front that we are very confident in, and then we'll 285 00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:26,040 Speaker 3: figure out. 286 00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:26,480 Speaker 2: The fitth spot. 287 00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:29,319 Speaker 3: I guess Terren Steele would probably be that odd man 288 00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:32,560 Speaker 3: out there in terms of value draft picks and value 289 00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:37,679 Speaker 3: of youth moving forward. Whereas this year, I'm looking at 290 00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:39,559 Speaker 3: this offensive line class, and we've talked about this a 291 00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:43,600 Speaker 3: couple times on the Draft Show. There's just something that's 292 00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:46,600 Speaker 3: not clicking for every one of these top offensive lineman. 293 00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:48,440 Speaker 3: Now there's a couple of them, but those couple of 294 00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:50,719 Speaker 3: them probably aren't gonna make it to twelve because they 295 00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:52,320 Speaker 3: don't have any red flags on them. 296 00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:53,480 Speaker 2: But if it's a red. 297 00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:56,160 Speaker 3: Flag from a medical or a size or a position 298 00:13:56,280 --> 00:13:58,920 Speaker 3: fit or whatever, it ends up being twelve might not 299 00:13:59,040 --> 00:13:59,640 Speaker 3: be right. 300 00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:01,480 Speaker 2: Face man, We can. 301 00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:05,040 Speaker 3: Make that if it turns out that we need Kelvin 302 00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:07,360 Speaker 3: Banks or somebody Will Campbell or some of these other 303 00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:11,720 Speaker 3: guys whoever it ends up being up front. I think 304 00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:15,040 Speaker 3: there's ten in the top ten picks of this NFL draft. 305 00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:16,920 Speaker 3: I think there's gonna be one or two offensive lineman 306 00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:18,880 Speaker 3: and you're gonna have your pick of the third or 307 00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:23,120 Speaker 3: fourth fifth best offensive lineman in this draft class. But 308 00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:24,840 Speaker 3: if you were to compare that to the twenty two 309 00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:28,040 Speaker 3: to twenty three, twenty four draft class, I think your third, 310 00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:31,640 Speaker 3: fourth fifth best offensive lineman in this class would probably 311 00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:34,320 Speaker 3: be more like eight, nine ten in those other classes. 312 00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:35,120 Speaker 2: It's just this. 313 00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:37,120 Speaker 7: I'll make mine quick and I'll throw it back to you, guys. 314 00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:42,280 Speaker 7: I wouldn't go offensive line at number twelve. I just wouldn't. 315 00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:44,960 Speaker 7: And I don't think that the Zach News changes that 316 00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:47,280 Speaker 7: for me because that's where I was standing before Rick 317 00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:49,480 Speaker 7: was expected to retire, and now that he is expected 318 00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:52,440 Speaker 7: to retire, my needle doesn't move as far as would 319 00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:55,440 Speaker 7: I go. You know, offensive line at twelve, No in 320 00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:57,480 Speaker 7: this situation, and Kyle lays it out perfectly. When it 321 00:14:57,480 --> 00:15:00,360 Speaker 7: comes to this class, I would be much morefortable in 322 00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:03,040 Speaker 7: a trade back situation. If your hell bent on getting 323 00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:03,880 Speaker 7: an offensive. 324 00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:04,040 Speaker 4: I'm down for them. 325 00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:05,200 Speaker 6: We talked about that last week. 326 00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:07,440 Speaker 7: I think I would trade down, get more picks, and 327 00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:10,120 Speaker 7: then go oil. I wouldn't just go outright at number 328 00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:14,520 Speaker 7: twelve for oil. I'm reserving number twelve for an Ashton 329 00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:17,360 Speaker 7: Genty if he's there, or a top shelf wide receiver 330 00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:19,000 Speaker 7: if he's there, and you just know that if you 331 00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:19,520 Speaker 7: move back. 332 00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:20,480 Speaker 2: You're going to lose that on that guy. 333 00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:23,760 Speaker 7: But offensive line, I think that because I've seen what 334 00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:28,440 Speaker 7: brock Hoffman can be, I'm comfortable enough to kind of. 335 00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:29,320 Speaker 2: Sit tight there. 336 00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:31,760 Speaker 7: So either it's a trade back situation or it's something 337 00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:33,080 Speaker 7: that you address in the second round. 338 00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:35,280 Speaker 8: But I think it also lends itself to choosing the 339 00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:39,680 Speaker 8: best player available at twelve regardless, because there are positions, 340 00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:42,160 Speaker 8: There are positions in need all over the board, across 341 00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:42,480 Speaker 8: the board. 342 00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:47,320 Speaker 6: For the Dallas Cowboys, J Stee's on YouTube says. 343 00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:50,040 Speaker 8: Leave bb alone, put him at center. He's got a 344 00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:52,320 Speaker 8: full season at center. Man, what are we doing often 345 00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:53,240 Speaker 8: is a good backup? 346 00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:54,920 Speaker 4: I'm kind of in that camp. 347 00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:59,320 Speaker 9: But why speak on it, because I just think I 348 00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:01,200 Speaker 9: don't believe that a natural position for him at the 349 00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:01,760 Speaker 9: center position. 350 00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:04,560 Speaker 3: He was better than Hoffman at center, okay, and that's 351 00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:07,160 Speaker 3: where I'm at. Okay, he was better than haff Minute, 352 00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:09,160 Speaker 3: So so then why swap is why? 353 00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:09,440 Speaker 2: So? 354 00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:12,600 Speaker 9: Why mess with I like Bebe's frame better for gard 355 00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:14,360 Speaker 9: I like him better at guard. 356 00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:16,840 Speaker 2: I don't. I don't know that. 357 00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:22,120 Speaker 9: If I'm going to have a Brahma bull in this 358 00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:25,440 Speaker 9: kitchen right five office alignment, I want him at center. 359 00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:27,200 Speaker 2: I want broadcast center. 360 00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:30,240 Speaker 9: I want I want that mentality at center because that 361 00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:33,360 Speaker 9: person touches the ball every single play. That person is 362 00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:36,040 Speaker 9: going to be the point on every single play. Versus 363 00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:38,640 Speaker 9: having that person offset to one side or the other. 364 00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:39,560 Speaker 2: That's just me. 365 00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:44,280 Speaker 3: If you're just talking about like glass eater aggressive mentality. Yes, okay, 366 00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:46,640 Speaker 3: you had that with Tyler Biadash and it didn't necessarily 367 00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:47,040 Speaker 3: work out. 368 00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:50,600 Speaker 2: He's working out somewhere else, true, but. 369 00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:51,600 Speaker 4: It didn't work out here. 370 00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:55,440 Speaker 6: A question though, what was Brock Coffin's worst game last year? 371 00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:57,960 Speaker 2: I would have to go back, I wanted to. 372 00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:01,200 Speaker 8: I want to say it was the Philadelphia probably probably, 373 00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:03,480 Speaker 8: And you would have put him at the center against 374 00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:05,000 Speaker 8: a team like that twice a year. 375 00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:08,840 Speaker 9: Listen, this coaching staff that we're now having place, these 376 00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:10,800 Speaker 9: guys are supposed to be jedis when it comes to 377 00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:12,520 Speaker 9: the old question would be this, and this is the 378 00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:15,480 Speaker 9: question the Cowboys would have to answer in this scenario 379 00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:18,720 Speaker 9: is the career And they had to answer this for 380 00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:19,320 Speaker 9: Tyler Smith. 381 00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:23,280 Speaker 7: Is the career for Cooper BB. Does it have a 382 00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:27,680 Speaker 7: higher ceiling at guard than at center? Because if it's 383 00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:30,119 Speaker 7: at guard, then I'm with you putting him at guard, 384 00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:32,879 Speaker 7: and then maybe you draft your center if brought Koffman, 385 00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:34,040 Speaker 7: if you need an upgrade over. 386 00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:36,000 Speaker 2: So it's the way you view the set, it's the 387 00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:36,960 Speaker 2: way you view that. 388 00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:41,040 Speaker 7: If you think that his ceiling, being Cooper BB, is 389 00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:43,240 Speaker 7: higher at center, then you leave him there and you 390 00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:44,320 Speaker 7: leave brockoff in at guard. 391 00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:46,040 Speaker 2: I think that's the crux of what the argument is going. 392 00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:48,399 Speaker 9: I'm gonna I'm gonna literally put the trust in this 393 00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:49,280 Speaker 9: on these coaches. 394 00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:52,240 Speaker 2: I'm literally in considering who we're talking about, Connor Riley 395 00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:55,560 Speaker 2: and Clayton Adams. I'm let's let them cook. Listen. 396 00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:56,960 Speaker 9: I can have an opinion all day long, but I 397 00:17:57,000 --> 00:17:59,120 Speaker 9: think those guys have a good idea. If they're coming 398 00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:01,359 Speaker 9: in and it sounds like they're moving Cooper BB to 399 00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:03,800 Speaker 9: right guard, then I have full confidence that that's the 400 00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:06,639 Speaker 9: most advantageous position for him and the offensive line. 401 00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:09,800 Speaker 3: So just going back to the conversation of Hoffman and 402 00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:12,639 Speaker 3: where he might fit specifically, let's just go to PFF 403 00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:14,240 Speaker 3: because we don't have the film in front of us 404 00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:17,160 Speaker 3: right now, but Pro Football focus over thirty nine pass 405 00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:18,960 Speaker 3: blocking snaps against Tampa Bay. 406 00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:20,520 Speaker 2: That was his worst graded game. 407 00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:24,320 Speaker 3: He gave up three pressures, he gave up one sack, 408 00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:28,440 Speaker 3: one QB hit, and two penalties in that matchup. It's 409 00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:31,920 Speaker 3: a lot one game and thirty nine snaps he gave 410 00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:36,760 Speaker 3: up basically six different things that went wrong. Now that 411 00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:39,000 Speaker 3: snap he took all sixty. 412 00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:41,639 Speaker 2: At right guard. Took it all at right guard. 413 00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:43,800 Speaker 4: So that goes back to your point. 414 00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:47,200 Speaker 3: His best graded game of the year was against Cincinnati, 415 00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:51,520 Speaker 3: where he only allowed one hit one QB hit along 416 00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:55,560 Speaker 3: the way over, Let's see, it was thirty six pass 417 00:18:55,600 --> 00:19:01,240 Speaker 3: blocking snaps and those were all at center, So something 418 00:19:01,359 --> 00:19:02,679 Speaker 3: like that could play a factor. 419 00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:04,679 Speaker 9: Yeah, Like I said, I'm looking forward to the coaching. 420 00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:10,280 Speaker 9: Like I really believe that most fans, Okay, this is 421 00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:13,520 Speaker 9: no shots fire, It's just just an observation don't put 422 00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:17,640 Speaker 9: enough emphasis on development and the coaches' roles that they're 423 00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:21,720 Speaker 9: supposed to play an organization, and for this team and 424 00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:25,480 Speaker 9: coach Settenheimer to have brought in two O line specialists, 425 00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:27,520 Speaker 9: two people that that's what they do. 426 00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:30,000 Speaker 2: Right, your officive coordinator and now your officive line coach. 427 00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:33,560 Speaker 9: That is their wheelhouse, like, that's where they feel most confident, 428 00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:36,040 Speaker 9: and they said they can be better than you at anything. 429 00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:38,760 Speaker 9: They're both gonna say coaching old lineman, that's awesome to 430 00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:42,000 Speaker 9: have both of those resources on one team like that. Yeah, 431 00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:44,800 Speaker 9: you might have three. I'm looking forward to seeing now 432 00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:47,040 Speaker 9: players and what we've seen, right, we can go back 433 00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:49,840 Speaker 9: and look at what they've done. And if you have 434 00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:52,880 Speaker 9: somebody like a brock Hoffman who's an absolute dog, right, 435 00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:55,560 Speaker 9: which is what they're at. Every coach that's spoken on 436 00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:58,040 Speaker 9: offense side of the ball has talked about the mentality. 437 00:19:58,400 --> 00:20:00,719 Speaker 9: He talked about the physicality. I'm just I'm talking about him. 438 00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:02,879 Speaker 9: I'm talking about the character of this an identity of 439 00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:06,920 Speaker 9: this offensive line going forward, violence, right, all those things right? 440 00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:10,239 Speaker 9: You want that he has that naturally or ornately has that? 441 00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:12,600 Speaker 9: Develop it now? Develop it? 442 00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:12,920 Speaker 2: Right. 443 00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:14,720 Speaker 9: You talk about people that people are ready to write 444 00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:16,639 Speaker 9: off right now, like Terrance Still people are ready to oh, 445 00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:18,720 Speaker 9: let's move on from Terryce Steell. We know Terry still 446 00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:21,480 Speaker 9: ain't no punk, right, ter Terres still ain't no punt. 447 00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:22,320 Speaker 2: That one thing we know. 448 00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:25,320 Speaker 4: About him that because he was maybe initially and know 449 00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:26,159 Speaker 4: t Stilly. 450 00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:27,560 Speaker 9: Has never been a punt he Stilley always wanted to 451 00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:29,880 Speaker 9: smoke right, always want to I. 452 00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:32,680 Speaker 3: Think back to the one game against what was it 453 00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:37,119 Speaker 3: twenty one? Was it Washington where he got he was 454 00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:40,000 Speaker 3: he was kind of off to the side and somebody 455 00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:42,040 Speaker 3: got into him off It might have been Martin, It 456 00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:43,480 Speaker 3: might have been Zach Martin that got into him. I 457 00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:44,960 Speaker 3: don't have to go back and do my research, but 458 00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:46,680 Speaker 3: I'm going back to twenty one where it was a 459 00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:49,320 Speaker 3: rookie season, just kind of getting into it, trying to 460 00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:51,720 Speaker 3: work it, or that was the second year. Then he 461 00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:54,280 Speaker 3: he didn't let it happen again. At that point, sometimes 462 00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:57,560 Speaker 3: you got to talk him from Sometimes, yeah, you gotta. 463 00:20:57,400 --> 00:20:58,600 Speaker 2: Learn from there and move on. 464 00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:01,280 Speaker 9: Well, from that point, he never had any question marks 465 00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:04,719 Speaker 9: about his willingness and his dog mentality. 466 00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:05,680 Speaker 2: Develop them right. 467 00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:08,399 Speaker 9: I'm looking forward to seeing how these guys come along, 468 00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:10,840 Speaker 9: because where they're at now is not where they're going 469 00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:13,800 Speaker 9: to be when the season starts. If these coaches are 470 00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:18,160 Speaker 9: masters at developing players, the one aspect that you can't 471 00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:21,560 Speaker 9: control is a willingness. I can't control your will to 472 00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:24,200 Speaker 9: want to get better. If you have that work ethic 473 00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:27,840 Speaker 9: will determination mentality. If you have all that, now it's 474 00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:30,760 Speaker 9: on me to go ahead and help that flourish. 475 00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:32,680 Speaker 7: And now I was going to say, the question becomes, 476 00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:37,880 Speaker 7: is brock Hoffman just a stellar backup center or could 477 00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:41,240 Speaker 7: he be an actual consistent starting center, because I think 478 00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:42,760 Speaker 7: that it could go when it comes to Cooper BB. 479 00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:45,760 Speaker 2: The beauty of Cooper BB is that he's. 480 00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:47,400 Speaker 7: Proven himself a starting center, even in year one after 481 00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:49,639 Speaker 7: a transition, He's proven that he can get better and 482 00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:51,960 Speaker 7: better and he can be probably. 483 00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:53,440 Speaker 2: A pro Bowl center in this league. 484 00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:55,840 Speaker 7: But he could probably be an all pro right guard, 485 00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:59,800 Speaker 7: which would make him a definitive successor to Zach Martin. 486 00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:02,280 Speaker 7: And if that's the case, you you don't really have 487 00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:03,840 Speaker 7: to sell me on moving him the right guard. 488 00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:04,480 Speaker 2: I'm finally even. 489 00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:06,159 Speaker 7: Him at center if that's what they choose to let 490 00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:07,680 Speaker 7: Clayton Adams and Connor Riley. 491 00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:09,280 Speaker 3: I might have been in the plans from the from 492 00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:11,880 Speaker 3: the beginning though. If this Cooper Bebe is our third 493 00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:14,040 Speaker 3: round draft pick, we'll put them where we can use 494 00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:17,080 Speaker 3: him now and then when Martin's done, move over. 495 00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:19,000 Speaker 2: And then you put him at right guard if that's 496 00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:19,400 Speaker 2: your plan. 497 00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:22,600 Speaker 7: But then I look at broad coffin and I say, okay, 498 00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:25,520 Speaker 7: exclusive rights free agent this year, they're going to keep 499 00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:28,280 Speaker 7: them okay, restricted free.

He said, I'm grinding boy, I'm 603 00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:33,880 Speaker 3: in here. 604 00:27:35,119 --> 00:27:35,560 Speaker 2: Yeah it was. 605 00:27:35,760 --> 00:27:37,640 Speaker 6: It was a longhorn, to be fair. 606 00:27:37,720 --> 00:27:37,920 Speaker 2: Yeah. 607 00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:40,399 Speaker 6: So I think it's a little bias in little a 608 00:27:40,440 --> 00:27:40,840 Speaker 6: little bit. 609 00:27:41,160 --> 00:27:43,440 Speaker 3: It's both bias and then a little bit of connection 610 00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:45,520 Speaker 3: to because I think he knew one beforehand, so they 611 00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:49,240 Speaker 3: were able to kind of through it, but it was people. Yeah, 612 00:27:49,280 --> 00:27:53,119 Speaker 3: Tommy does know people, that is true. So one of 613 00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:55,199 Speaker 3: the big things that came out of yesterday, which of 614 00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:58,640 Speaker 3: course the drills don't start until later Thursday's the first 615 00:27:58,720 --> 00:27:59,359 Speaker 3: day of drills, and. 616 00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:03,080 Speaker 2: I'll be there to morrow. Patrick, you had to do 617 00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:06,080 Speaker 2: talking cowboys in the morning, That's what okay? 618 00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:15,160 Speaker 3: So uh, anyways, exactly skipped responsibility. Combine starts for drills 619 00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:17,520 Speaker 3: on Thursday. But the entire league is out there except 620 00:28:17,560 --> 00:28:18,040 Speaker 3: for Patrick. 621 00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:18,840 Speaker 5: Right now. 622 00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:23,879 Speaker 3: The thought process is now where this is where all 623 00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:25,920 Speaker 3: that information is coming from. And Stephen Jones was a 624 00:28:25,920 --> 00:28:29,919 Speaker 3: big thing in that information pool yesterday. What were some 625 00:28:29,960 --> 00:28:33,800 Speaker 3: of the takeaways Patrick from Stephen Jones yesterday that kind of. 626 00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:38,760 Speaker 2: Perked the ears of Cowboys Nation. Well, let's see, should 627 00:28:38,760 --> 00:28:43,000 Speaker 2: I be selectively aggressive? And yeah, selectively? All right, let's let's. 628 00:28:42,840 --> 00:28:44,680 Speaker 4: Le's not gonna be all in this off season? 629 00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:45,440 Speaker 2: Unfortunate? 630 00:28:45,520 --> 00:28:47,440 Speaker 4: Is that going to be this freaking thing? 631 00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:51,920 Speaker 7: Based on how does the video reacted to it? So 632 00:28:52,720 --> 00:28:54,640 Speaker 7: I'll read it, go ahead, all right, So let me 633 00:28:55,080 --> 00:28:59,160 Speaker 7: this is uh Stephen Jones yesterday he was asked about 634 00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:01,959 Speaker 7: the approach this season. This offseason and he said enough, well, 635 00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:04,160 Speaker 7: we're going to look at everything we can. We're going 636 00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:07,880 Speaker 7: to be selectively aggressive. There are there are things in 637 00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:10,160 Speaker 7: this league you can have a certain amount of resources 638 00:29:10,160 --> 00:29:11,880 Speaker 7: they allow you to have. We'll look at that. But 639 00:29:11,920 --> 00:29:15,760 Speaker 7: we're going to improve this team. We're going to expect 640 00:29:15,760 --> 00:29:18,320 Speaker 7: to have success next year, which is this year. And 641 00:29:18,360 --> 00:29:21,560 Speaker 7: then of course, out of that Parson parceled everyone ran 642 00:29:21,640 --> 00:29:25,640 Speaker 7: with a selectively aggressive portion of it, which is unfortunately, Kyle, 643 00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:29,040 Speaker 7: that is going to be this year's all in version 644 00:29:29,080 --> 00:29:32,760 Speaker 7: of all. But you know, Stephen Jones when he talked 645 00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:36,040 Speaker 7: about free agency and just how they're going to approach it, uh, 646 00:29:36,040 --> 00:29:40,760 Speaker 7: he also volunteered the thought process of a draft participal, 647 00:29:40,840 --> 00:29:44,280 Speaker 7: not draft, but potential trade. He was like trades. Yeah, 648 00:29:44,280 --> 00:29:46,760 Speaker 7: he brought that up unprovoked. So trade is going to 649 00:29:46,760 --> 00:29:49,000 Speaker 7: be a possibility for the Cowboys. What does that look like? 650 00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:51,600 Speaker 7: It does not look like Michael Parsons. Let me just 651 00:29:51,640 --> 00:29:54,240 Speaker 7: say that right now. What does that look like outside 652 00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:55,040 Speaker 7: of Michael Parsons? 653 00:29:55,080 --> 00:30:00,000 Speaker 3: Jonathan Mingo, you already trade? 654 00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:02,200 Speaker 4: Oh wait, yeah, we already. 655 00:30:02,640 --> 00:30:03,600 Speaker 2: Why would you bring up that? 656 00:30:03,800 --> 00:30:06,000 Speaker 7: Sorry, the fourth round pick is still trauma to be 657 00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:08,280 Speaker 7: like they did that huh, they did that. 658 00:30:08,400 --> 00:30:11,480 Speaker 2: You're not even on the draft show either, geez. 659 00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:14,640 Speaker 7: So what does that look like as far as the 660 00:30:14,640 --> 00:30:18,880 Speaker 7: potential trade getting someone in here? What assets might be 661 00:30:18,920 --> 00:30:21,640 Speaker 7: required to do that? Who are they looking at going 662 00:30:21,680 --> 00:30:24,480 Speaker 7: after an outside free agency? Will know that here. In 663 00:30:24,520 --> 00:30:27,120 Speaker 7: a couple of weeks or so, once legal tampering begins, 664 00:30:27,240 --> 00:30:30,360 Speaker 7: we'll see exactly how selectively aggressive the Cowboys are going 665 00:30:30,400 --> 00:30:34,240 Speaker 7: to be, because routinely they do not they're not players 666 00:30:34,280 --> 00:30:36,320 Speaker 7: in the first week of free agency. They try to 667 00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:40,120 Speaker 7: let those overpays pass and then get the tertiary rounds. 668 00:30:40,120 --> 00:30:43,880 Speaker 2: Sometimes they're not even acts. Yeah, we'll see if that. 669 00:30:44,120 --> 00:30:47,480 Speaker 6: If that changes, we'll seeing well about. 670 00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:51,000 Speaker 7: Dante's doing much better though they're both doing well. We'll 671 00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:52,960 Speaker 7: see if that changes. So the Cowboys are looking to 672 00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:55,480 Speaker 7: be more aggressive in free agency, be it selective or 673 00:30:55,520 --> 00:30:58,480 Speaker 7: however you want a word that they're going to talk 674 00:30:58,560 --> 00:31:01,040 Speaker 7: with Oh soo Diggi Zua his agent. That's one of 675 00:31:01,040 --> 00:31:03,360 Speaker 7: the biggest keeps. You got to figure out how to 676 00:31:03,400 --> 00:31:06,000 Speaker 7: keep Osa in the building. I don't think it's a 677 00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:09,280 Speaker 7: franchise tag situation, but I hear that transition tags not 678 00:31:09,360 --> 00:31:11,440 Speaker 7: off the table at eighteen million dollars. 679 00:31:11,440 --> 00:31:14,720 Speaker 2: We'll see, but the fact that they're it is hefty. 680 00:31:14,720 --> 00:31:17,960 Speaker 7: The fact that they're even entertaining that possibility lets me 681 00:31:18,040 --> 00:31:21,080 Speaker 7: know exactly how badly, lets me know how badly they 682 00:31:21,120 --> 00:31:23,760 Speaker 7: want to keep Agent double O nine to seven. In 683 00:31:23,840 --> 00:31:26,480 Speaker 7: the building they talked about Stephen Jones did talked about 684 00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:29,400 Speaker 7: definitely wanting to keep Jordan Lewis not breaking news. We 685 00:31:29,480 --> 00:31:31,280 Speaker 7: know that they want to keep Jordan Lewis, and they're 686 00:31:31,280 --> 00:31:34,040 Speaker 7: going to have conversations with the Marcus Lawrence's agents at 687 00:31:34,040 --> 00:31:37,840 Speaker 7: the Combine as well.

And Michael Parsons it sounds like 690 00:31:42,840 --> 00:31:45,240 Speaker 7: the Cowboys are as open to as he is to 691 00:31:45,280 --> 00:31:47,840 Speaker 7: trying to get a deal done sooner than later. Love 692 00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:51,000 Speaker 7: what Stephen Jones said about the difference between the Ceedy 693 00:31:51,120 --> 00:31:55,600 Speaker 7: Lamb negotiation, the Dak Prescott negotiation, and the Michael Parsons negotiation. 694 00:31:55,880 --> 00:31:58,760 Speaker 7: When you're negotiating with Dak Prescott, you were playing the market. 695 00:31:59,040 --> 00:32:01,480 Speaker 7: When you negotiate with Citie Lamb, you were playing the market. 696 00:32:01,560 --> 00:32:03,440 Speaker 7: You had Justin Jefferson out there. What does that look like? 697 00:32:03,480 --> 00:32:05,800 Speaker 7: When does that fall when it comes to Michael Parsons, 698 00:32:05,840 --> 00:32:07,880 Speaker 7: you you don't have that to contend with this year. 699 00:32:08,080 --> 00:32:11,000 Speaker 7: It's it's Michael Parson's world as far as that market is. 700 00:32:11,200 --> 00:32:12,240 Speaker 6: Those leaves don't need to fall. 701 00:32:13,880 --> 00:32:16,800 Speaker 2: Come on, all in leaves falling, come on, rama can 702 00:32:17,800 --> 00:32:20,800 Speaker 2: get route.

By the way, 909 00:41:24,719 --> 00:41:26,839 Speaker 3: forgive me if I'm wrong. Byron Jones, did he not score? 910 00:41:27,800 --> 00:41:31,240 Speaker 3: Ryan Fitzpatrick quarterback was a forty eight the lead, bud, 911 00:41:31,400 --> 00:41:34,040 Speaker 3: Come on, man, varying the lead. What are you talking about? 912 00:41:34,080 --> 00:41:37,600 Speaker 5: Go to well to the very bottom, the very. 913 00:41:37,440 --> 00:41:42,120 Speaker 3: Bottom air force.

But there's some other 923 00:42:02,239 --> 00:42:06,520 Speaker 3: ones on there that were Darren Davis, Oscar Davenport, Frank Gore, 924 00:42:06,680 --> 00:42:09,400 Speaker 3: Vince Young.
