It's 0:01:50.440 --> 0:01:53.200 a running off in the cowboys building. This why, this 0:01:53.240 --> 0:01:55.120 is why when you tell people you work for the cowboys, 0:01:55.160 --> 0:01:57.520 they automatically assume you got money, because they'd be seeing 0:01:57.560 --> 0:01:59.600 people riding here side by side, golf course where he 0:02:00.080 --> 0:02:03.160 he just seats all type of stuff. Brahma, bullshoes. You 0:02:03.200 --> 0:02:06.680 know what I'm saying? They come, ha, got on? First 0:02:06.720 --> 0:02:09.000 of all? Is that what it is? Yes? Come on, 0:02:09.280 --> 0:02:11.400 come on, I don't play with me. I know TV 0:02:11.600 --> 0:02:17.200 many we would make our cowboys. We know you have money. 0:02:17.320 --> 0:02:20.840 We saw you win it. Remember this is very true. 0:02:20.919 --> 0:02:26.160 So a couple of dollars couple, this is this is 0:02:26.320 --> 0:02:31.160 very true. Maybe texting you, broybe texting you. Oh, believe me, 0:02:31.200 --> 0:02:34.120 I've been I've been getting half since twenty ten half 0:02:34.200 --> 0:02:36.639 half half? Do you have a talent agent? By the way, 0:02:36.880 --> 0:02:39.320 I do not have a talent agent. I have a 0:02:39.360 --> 0:02:42.880 social media manager, okay, which is his wife. No, I 0:02:42.919 --> 0:02:45.680 have a realm. But like, and I asked that quite 0:02:45.720 --> 0:02:48.280 because because those are more dollars that people don't talk about. 0:02:48.880 --> 0:02:50.799 You know, these people are not doing this for free. 0:02:50.919 --> 0:02:53.799 Social media guys, it's twenty percent, twenty percent whatever you 0:02:53.880 --> 0:02:56.120 bring in. Yeah, that's that's what I was asking this, 0:02:56.160 --> 0:02:58.399 you know, just so you got a social media guy, 0:02:58.480 --> 0:03:00.320 which is good you don't have an agent because he 0:03:00.360 --> 0:03:06.400 would have been getting his you know, and football yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, 0:03:06.480 --> 0:03:08.240 ten to twenty depending on what it is. And so 0:03:08.400 --> 0:03:11.200 so okay, all right, no, that's that. That's a nah. 0:03:11.200 --> 0:03:13.040 Man they call me, I'll have to call them a 0:03:13.360 --> 0:03:16.000 point good for you and that that's that that is 0:03:16.040 --> 0:03:20.519 good for you. Um, what do you need to see 0:03:21.960 --> 0:03:25.960 from Dak Prescott to make you feel good? On Sunday, 0:03:25.960 --> 0:03:28.160 I'll start with you. What do you need to see? Man? 0:03:28.200 --> 0:03:30.840 I just need him to manage these drives. I don't 0:03:30.880 --> 0:03:33.880 need any of these drives to end uh with a 0:03:34.000 --> 0:03:37.920 turn off. Just don't turn the ball over. Play smart football. Um, 0:03:38.560 --> 0:03:40.600 I think that's the one thing that's been plaguing him. 0:03:40.680 --> 0:03:43.840 And all the excuses in the world, tip balls, God's 0:03:43.880 --> 0:03:45.800 not running the right routes. None of that's gonna matter 0:03:45.800 --> 0:03:47.480 because it's all gonna be placed on him at the 0:03:47.520 --> 0:03:49.600 end of the day. Anyway. I just wanted him to 0:03:49.600 --> 0:03:52.000 play clean, and he has an opportunity to do that, 0:03:52.560 --> 0:03:55.440 especially with this week. I think there's going to be 0:03:55.480 --> 0:03:57.520 more of an emphasis on getting this running game going, 0:03:58.040 --> 0:03:59.760 and I think the running game and play action is 0:03:59.760 --> 0:04:02.760 going to help him out tremendously. And by the way, 0:04:02.800 --> 0:04:05.280 I don't think Jacksonville is gonna do that too safety 0:04:05.360 --> 0:04:07.680 high look like the other guys that they go primarily 0:04:08.000 --> 0:04:09.960 with single safety high looks. So I think he could 0:04:09.960 --> 0:04:11.520 be sharp. He's just gonna that's what it is. He's 0:04:11.520 --> 0:04:13.120 just gonna have to play sharp this week. You're taking 0:04:13.120 --> 0:04:17.479 it easy on that. Da needs to secure the ball. 0:04:17.600 --> 0:04:21.240 One ball security is number one. Number two. I need 0:04:21.320 --> 0:04:24.479 to see Dak be able to put the ball in 0:04:24.560 --> 0:04:27.560 the right place depending on what the coverage is. If 0:04:27.600 --> 0:04:30.240 he does just something happened to see cover three or 0:04:30.240 --> 0:04:31.919 cover two, I want to see it go to the 0:04:32.080 --> 0:04:35.080 right spot. He keeps saying stuff about this gun slinger 0:04:35.279 --> 0:04:38.440 and being aggressive and all this stuff. Be aggressive by 0:04:38.480 --> 0:04:40.200 putting the ball in the right spot. The Cover two 0:04:40.279 --> 0:04:42.160 shot that he did, and on the last drive with 0:04:42.279 --> 0:04:44.960 Noah Browns dives down and catches the ball where he 0:04:45.000 --> 0:04:47.279 throws it over the cornerback but in front of the safety. 0:04:47.600 --> 0:04:50.040 Those are the type of throws that I want to 0:04:50.080 --> 0:04:52.360 see him continue to make. He read it than Cover two, 0:04:52.440 --> 0:04:54.000 that is the weak spot. I wanted to do the 0:04:54.040 --> 0:04:55.840 same thing at Cover three. Don't throw the double slant 0:04:55.880 --> 0:04:58.520 in the cover of three, throw it to the seatt 0:04:58.600 --> 0:05:01.000 over with the tight end running across and out leverage 0:05:01.000 --> 0:05:02.720 in the linebacker. Like I want to see him make 0:05:02.760 --> 0:05:04.760 those reads because those are the plays that are gonna 0:05:04.880 --> 0:05:07.200 he's gonna have to make if he runs up against 0:05:07.279 --> 0:05:10.720 a Philly or San Francisco like we saw last night. 0:05:10.720 --> 0:05:13.880 Those defenses are real and if you make the wrong decision, 0:05:13.920 --> 0:05:15.240 they're gonna make you pay for us. So I want 0:05:15.240 --> 0:05:17.640 to see him just continue to get better throughout the 0:05:17.640 --> 0:05:19.679 rest of the season so as we get into the playoff. 0:05:19.960 --> 0:05:22.640 He has that confidence in himself and we also have 0:05:22.760 --> 0:05:25.359 that confidence in him, and I think we talked about 0:05:25.360 --> 0:05:28.039 that earlier in the week about how Cover two was 0:05:28.080 --> 0:05:31.320 affecting him, but also how this receiving group isn't willing 0:05:31.360 --> 0:05:33.600 to run into that headache. So I think a lot 0:05:33.680 --> 0:05:36.279 of that has to do with it. But also, you know, look, man, 0:05:36.279 --> 0:05:38.359 take what the defense is giving. You don't try, And 0:05:38.400 --> 0:05:40.279 for us, I think he's do you believe when you 0:05:40.320 --> 0:05:42.279 watch Dak, do you ask yourself is he pressing to 0:05:42.400 --> 0:05:44.480 make these throws? I don't think he's pressing. I think 0:05:44.520 --> 0:05:46.760 he's making the wrong decision when you The thing is 0:05:47.480 --> 0:05:49.760 so my defensive coordinators have always told me, hey man, 0:05:49.760 --> 0:05:52.640 we're gonna run this coverage. This coverage cannot stop everything. 0:05:52.640 --> 0:05:55.440 There's always a week a week point in a zone coverage, 0:05:55.520 --> 0:05:58.080 right because the guy's got eyes on the quarterback. There 0:05:58.080 --> 0:06:01.120 are route concepts that can outleverage guys. So there's somewhere 0:06:01.120 --> 0:06:02.840 in the third of ball Keller Moore is giving him 0:06:02.920 --> 0:06:07.000 route concepts. Hopefully that is advantageous to going against the 0:06:07.040 --> 0:06:08.800 cover two of cover three. He just needs to be 0:06:08.839 --> 0:06:12.440 able to find those, uh those those right reads, and 0:06:12.960 --> 0:06:15.600 last game, I don't think he found enough of those 0:06:15.680 --> 0:06:17.520 right reads. And then we talked about some stuff off 0:06:17.560 --> 0:06:19.400 Ara where we had seen him throw a couple of 0:06:19.400 --> 0:06:23.839 interceptions into the same look multiple times, which was covered three. Like, 0:06:24.080 --> 0:06:25.920 he has to be able to make those reads because 0:06:25.960 --> 0:06:28.320 he's gonna continue to see it until he makes teams 0:06:28.320 --> 0:06:32.200 pay for it. Gentlemen, you're you're you're both, I mean 0:06:32.200 --> 0:06:34.880 you're you're singing to the choir here. Man. I'm just like, yeah, yeah, 0:06:34.920 --> 0:06:39.599 back back, and you're both there. Um for me as 0:06:39.640 --> 0:06:45.320 I look as you know you've got You've got Jacksonville, Philadelphia, Tennessee, Washington. 0:06:46.320 --> 0:06:51.440 He cannot have these turnovers going into the playoffs. And 0:06:52.560 --> 0:06:55.640 I'm sitting here looking at fourteen touchdowns to nine interceptions 0:06:55.640 --> 0:06:59.040 on the season that that's just that's not the Dak 0:06:59.080 --> 0:07:02.440 Prescott We've come know that, you know, there's there's there's 0:07:02.480 --> 0:07:04.479 an issue here and it has to change. And he 0:07:04.600 --> 0:07:08.279 spoke this week that he understands it. But guys, this 0:07:08.360 --> 0:07:12.120 is this is not going to take the Cowboys where 0:07:12.120 --> 0:07:15.800 they want to go. And in the quarterback starting this 0:07:15.840 --> 0:07:17.600 week needs to be better. I was looking at Trevor 0:07:17.680 --> 0:07:19.600 Lawrences him. I didn't realize he had twenty. He's got 0:07:19.600 --> 0:07:23.880 twenty touchdowns to six picks. He's quietly at the end 0:07:23.880 --> 0:07:25.720 of the season. At the last four or five games, 0:07:25.720 --> 0:07:28.800 he's been playing some ball. November, he's taken off and 0:07:28.640 --> 0:07:31.160 and and this is I would have thought these would 0:07:31.160 --> 0:07:34.160 be flipped honestly, just just you know, just just going 0:07:34.160 --> 0:07:36.440 and you're like, oh, oh, what does so that? That 0:07:36.560 --> 0:07:38.920 to me is And I don't know how Dak finds it. Guys, 0:07:38.920 --> 0:07:44.280 I don't know what he needs to do. But I 0:07:44.280 --> 0:07:46.360 guess when you're when your coaches talk to you, Now, 0:07:46.400 --> 0:07:48.480 did they do they come to you and say, hey, Danny, 0:07:48.560 --> 0:07:50.520 this isn't the best version of you. I mean, do 0:07:50.560 --> 0:07:52.120 they show do you show the guy cut up? I mean, 0:07:52.160 --> 0:07:54.520 what do you do to get him back to being 0:07:54.560 --> 0:07:56.960 the guy who takes care of the football? That used 0:07:57.000 --> 0:07:58.280 to be kind of be the m O with Dak. 0:07:58.640 --> 0:08:02.680 Say the guy was gonna take care the football. That's Dak. 0:08:03.280 --> 0:08:05.680 I mean, you're paying the guy forty This is this 0:08:05.760 --> 0:08:09.560 is before this year. We have always labeled back as 0:08:09.600 --> 0:08:13.160 the ultimate leader, right, he leads the guys. When he 0:08:13.240 --> 0:08:16.160 got hurt, you saw how much people respected him from 0:08:16.160 --> 0:08:18.280 other teams around the league and in the locker room 0:08:18.360 --> 0:08:19.960 that you saw the impact that it had when he 0:08:20.080 --> 0:08:22.120 was not in there. Because he is the leader so 0:08:22.200 --> 0:08:23.920 people are gonna look at Dak to figure out a 0:08:23.920 --> 0:08:25.280 way to get this done on his own. Yeah, they're 0:08:25.280 --> 0:08:27.200 gonna show up some cut ups. They're gonna show him 0:08:27.200 --> 0:08:29.160 what he shouldn't do, where the right reads are. But 0:08:29.240 --> 0:08:31.280 this is really on him. He says he wants to 0:08:31.280 --> 0:08:33.960 be aggressive, but he wants to protect the ball. He's 0:08:34.000 --> 0:08:36.000 gonna have to come out and then show people that 0:08:36.200 --> 0:08:38.280 he's putting in that work to make sure that he 0:08:38.400 --> 0:08:40.200 is getting back to the old DAC. I think this 0:08:40.280 --> 0:08:42.840 is literally on the player. The coaches can only do 0:08:42.880 --> 0:08:45.240 so much for showing you so much film. He's a quarterback. 0:08:45.280 --> 0:08:48.240 He watches enough film. He just when it comes down 0:08:48.240 --> 0:08:50.480 to it, he just hasn't been making the right decisions 0:08:50.720 --> 0:08:53.720 or the decisions that we have been accustomed to watching 0:08:53.760 --> 0:08:55.320 him make. And I think he can get back to it. 0:08:55.640 --> 0:08:57.520 He he just got to get out of that slump. Man. 0:08:57.520 --> 0:09:00.200 It's like a shooter like Steph Curry sometimes. Man, he 0:09:00.240 --> 0:09:02.760 go five or six games and hit two threes total, 0:09:02.800 --> 0:09:04.240 and all of a sudden, that next game he throw 0:09:04.320 --> 0:09:06.280 he at ten. Yeah, and I think that's that's what 0:09:06.360 --> 0:09:08.160 Dak Prescott is going through at this moment. I'm not 0:09:08.160 --> 0:09:11.000 gonna give him any excuses. Fourteen to nine is not good. 0:09:11.360 --> 0:09:14.040 It's not You can't win many games like that, and 0:09:14.080 --> 0:09:16.040 you're not gonna be very good in the playoffs turning 0:09:16.040 --> 0:09:18.600 the ball over that many times. If the win percentage 0:09:18.640 --> 0:09:22.280 in the NFL is but two three points, that's every week, 0:09:22.360 --> 0:09:24.720 that's across the board. So at some point, when we 0:09:24.760 --> 0:09:27.120 saw him do in the final minutes of that game, 0:09:27.120 --> 0:09:28.680 to come back and get the victory is what you 0:09:28.720 --> 0:09:31.000 want from your quarterback, because nine times out of ten 0:09:31.080 --> 0:09:33.200 in the playoffs is gonna come down to who has 0:09:33.240 --> 0:09:36.199 the ball last. You want your defense to do everything 0:09:36.240 --> 0:09:38.160 get you get you know, if you get a league, 0:09:38.200 --> 0:09:40.800 secure league. But teams are just too good. Quarterbacks are 0:09:40.800 --> 0:09:43.480 too good. You cannot turn the ball over. When you 0:09:43.520 --> 0:09:46.040 hear him, take the pot, take the podium, and take 0:09:46.080 --> 0:09:48.679 ownership of those turnovers. That's what you want to hear. 0:09:48.800 --> 0:09:50.199 You don't want to hear guy say, Man, I'm just 0:09:50.240 --> 0:09:52.640 gonna keep being aggressive. But I don't think that Dak 0:09:52.720 --> 0:09:55.320 is gonna turning the bus driver Dak by no means. 0:09:55.320 --> 0:09:57.400 And I think that when you hear the front office 0:09:57.440 --> 0:10:00.000 talking about bringing into Odell, you bring in a team, 0:10:00.160 --> 0:10:02.560 why Hilton just for those things that we talked about 0:10:02.600 --> 0:10:05.360 this week about coverage, you need to get a guy 0:10:05.440 --> 0:10:08.000 that can take the top off. We don't have that. 0:10:08.080 --> 0:10:11.000 For some reason, CD is not willing to run into 0:10:11.040 --> 0:10:13.200 that headache CD. We saw in those a couple of 0:10:13.200 --> 0:10:16.480 those turnovers. CD is cutting behind, trying to cut behind, 0:10:16.640 --> 0:10:18.199 or him and Dak are just not on the same 0:10:18.240 --> 0:10:21.360 page of communication. Just isn't there. This is this point 0:10:21.360 --> 0:10:24.200 in the season, especially going into Jacksonville, they have to 0:10:24.240 --> 0:10:26.600 clean that up. I expect for CD to have a big, 0:10:26.640 --> 0:10:30.120 big game in this game because he can. I mean, 0:10:30.400 --> 0:10:32.640 listen to CDs and Dallas Cowboys number one receiver. He 0:10:32.679 --> 0:10:35.400 needs to have multiple big time games. When you look 0:10:35.440 --> 0:10:37.520 at the guys who are at the top of the 0:10:37.600 --> 0:10:40.640 receiver list for stats, for numbers, for impact on the game, 0:10:40.960 --> 0:10:44.000 I do believe that CD lamb one. If he's going 0:10:44.080 --> 0:10:46.719 to ask for and demand the type of money that 0:10:47.360 --> 0:10:50.240 he wants when it comes paydaytime, he's gonna need to 0:10:50.240 --> 0:10:52.120 be up there in the top top five, top six 0:10:52.200 --> 0:10:54.200 guys of like, hey, this is a guy who you 0:10:54.240 --> 0:10:56.960 need to focus on when we're playing against you. And 0:10:57.000 --> 0:10:59.280 I don't think right now he's there because he hasn't 0:10:59.280 --> 0:11:01.680 been as consistent and like, yeah, okay, Jacksonville, he should, 0:11:01.760 --> 0:11:03.760 Texas he should. But when we played Philly and we 0:11:03.760 --> 0:11:05.920 played the good teams we played in San Francisco, that's 0:11:05.960 --> 0:11:07.800 what we should say. Hey man, we put it in 0:11:07.840 --> 0:11:09.640 your hand. CD, like, when we're not able to run 0:11:09.679 --> 0:11:11.160 the ball, we have to be able to find number 0:11:11.160 --> 0:11:12.760 eighty eight and they need to be able to have 0:11:12.800 --> 0:11:14.880 to respect that guy and get other people open if 0:11:14.880 --> 0:11:17.040 they're going to play it that hard, because ad eight 0:11:17.080 --> 0:11:18.720 is going to destroy you if he doesn't. That's what 0:11:18.960 --> 0:11:22.320 That's what das Brian was. I hear you. But honestly, 0:11:23.880 --> 0:11:27.520 it's gonna get his money whether he's performing like you know, 0:11:27.800 --> 0:11:30.560 a number one Pro Bowl guy here or not. That's 0:11:30.600 --> 0:11:33.040 just how it works right here. I mean, let's just 0:11:33.080 --> 0:11:36.400 be honest. What's the market right now? Receive Christian Kirk 0:11:36.600 --> 0:11:39.400 last year was here at twenty one million dollars? You know, 0:11:39.400 --> 0:11:43.480 I look atte Adams. That's what I mean. And this 0:11:43.640 --> 0:11:47.040 is basically and at the Lee Steinberg legendary basically told me, yeah, 0:11:47.080 --> 0:11:48.760 hey man, when it's time for you to go to 0:11:48.840 --> 0:11:53.000 Jerry with your guy, and if your guy's good, you're asking, 0:11:53.000 --> 0:11:56.320 you're asking to set the market, because that's what they 0:11:56.360 --> 0:11:58.959 have done here. Set the market with set the market 0:11:58.960 --> 0:12:01.360 with Q, tied them market with the Marii Cooper U, 0:12:01.720 --> 0:12:03.680 set the market with Zach Martin, set the market with 0:12:03.720 --> 0:12:06.840 Travis Frederick um Tank, set the marketing. This is what 0:12:06.880 --> 0:12:09.959 they do. So when Cede Lamb comes up here. But 0:12:10.080 --> 0:12:14.679 what you just said, though, okay, they shifted the Marie Like, 0:12:16.040 --> 0:12:19.200 if you don't produce, then I don't think the market 0:12:19.280 --> 0:12:21.720 is gonna be setting Zeke when he set the market. 0:12:21.800 --> 0:12:25.360 Zeke was performing when the Marcus Lawrence they franchised them 0:12:25.520 --> 0:12:27.880 twice and he was still performing in both of those 0:12:27.920 --> 0:12:30.440 franchise tag years. If you come in here you have 0:12:30.880 --> 0:12:34.360 a eight hundred yards season, you're nothing to go. Jerry 0:12:34.400 --> 0:12:35.960 will pay you, but he's nothing to give you one 0:12:36.000 --> 0:12:38.880 hundred and twenty million dollars off of eight hundred yards season, 0:12:38.880 --> 0:12:41.880 where previous seasons you also had eight hundred dollars, barely 0:12:41.880 --> 0:12:45.959 scratching a thousand. This is just me, no putting, no 0:12:46.000 --> 0:12:51.920 bet on it. When Ceedee Lambs gets his new contract 0:12:52.000 --> 0:12:56.600 with the Cowboys, it will be top three average four receivers. 0:12:56.640 --> 0:12:58.439 Well yeah, so I mean you expect him to turn 0:12:58.480 --> 0:13:02.800 into that guy, and it won't be based on performance. 0:13:02.840 --> 0:13:05.800 It'll be just this is what they do. They're they're 0:13:05.880 --> 0:13:08.200 not gonna want to let him get away, and they're 0:13:08.200 --> 0:13:11.040 gonna pay that number because that's just what they've done. 0:13:11.280 --> 0:13:16.120 When Trayvon Dicks, Dicks is gonna get if he's not 0:13:16.840 --> 0:13:19.320 once again, age is gonna come ask for the most 0:13:19.320 --> 0:13:22.120 of the game, and they paid. But they just just 0:13:22.800 --> 0:13:26.040 I guess the ship. I've not seen them hold the 0:13:26.080 --> 0:13:29.600 line on people. Has Cedee Lamb had a year that 0:13:29.679 --> 0:13:33.199 was comparable to Trayvon digs No. So when you go 0:13:33.520 --> 0:13:35.439 when your agent goes in there and says, hey, man, 0:13:35.520 --> 0:13:37.800 this is what this guy's potential is and you know 0:13:37.880 --> 0:13:41.000 it because we've seen it. Yeah, Trayvon dis Yeah, I 0:13:41.040 --> 0:13:42.800 got thirteen, I got I got yeah, I got this, 0:13:42.840 --> 0:13:45.040 I got that. I could be a lockdown guy. If 0:13:45.120 --> 0:13:47.679 TD Lamb continues to put eight hundred yards seasons or 0:13:47.760 --> 0:13:49.880 barely scratching the thousand, and then he's not having an 0:13:49.880 --> 0:13:52.439 impact on the game where defensive coordinators are not saying, hey, 0:13:52.480 --> 0:13:54.319 this is a guy that we need to make sure 0:13:54.360 --> 0:13:56.080 that we shut down or we don't have a shot 0:13:56.240 --> 0:13:58.920 like a Michael Parsons. Then I think you have a 0:13:59.200 --> 0:14:02.280 it's a hard sell, especially especially assuming that there are 0:14:02.360 --> 0:14:04.960 going to be other guys available at the time that 0:14:05.160 --> 0:14:07.960 Ceedee Lamb is up, and he and Justin Jefferson are 0:14:07.960 --> 0:14:10.120 both going to be up at the same time. And 0:14:10.280 --> 0:14:13.720 Justin Jefferson has fifteen hundred yards right now, So six 0:14:13.760 --> 0:14:18.800 tuddies fifteen hundred yards a big difference. I mean, Jamar 0:14:19.960 --> 0:14:21.560 look at a guy like Jamarks. You talk my first 0:14:21.640 --> 0:14:24.040 round guys. So you talked about Jamar Chase and Justin 0:14:24.160 --> 0:14:26.240 Jefferson back to back years of being first rounds guy. 0:14:26.320 --> 0:14:28.080 Have you talked about Ceedee Lamb at like you talked 0:14:28.080 --> 0:14:30.720 about Justin Jefferson or Jamar Chase. You haven't. But at 0:14:30.760 --> 0:14:33.480 the same time, you know, that's what I say. I 0:14:33.480 --> 0:14:36.880 believe he's gonna get top five of you know, Jefferson, 0:14:36.920 --> 0:14:39.400 whatever it is, He's going to get top five average 0:14:39.440 --> 0:14:43.880 here if not set the market based on the history 0:14:44.440 --> 0:14:47.280 of how they've gone about their business. Now I go 0:14:47.360 --> 0:14:49.520 back to Jamari Cooper thing, and this is for me, 0:14:50.000 --> 0:14:53.040 this is just me. I thought it was mishandled from 0:14:53.040 --> 0:14:56.200 the day they made the trade. If you make the 0:14:56.240 --> 0:15:00.120 trade and you're giving up a number one to the Raiders. 0:15:01.160 --> 0:15:04.160 He should have come in here with a contract set. 0:15:04.680 --> 0:15:08.320 Much like when Darius Slay goes from Detroit to Philadelphia, boom, 0:15:08.400 --> 0:15:10.960 there's a contract in place. When DeVante Adams goes from 0:15:11.000 --> 0:15:13.360 Green Bay to the Raiders, there's a contract in place. 0:15:13.600 --> 0:15:15.760 And so once the contract wasn't there, and they were like, well, 0:15:15.760 --> 0:15:18.240 play out the season. He hits the market, Well, Washington 0:15:18.320 --> 0:15:20.600 came in with more money. He wanted to go to Washington, 0:15:20.760 --> 0:15:23.120 smart on him. But then now you pay them. You 0:15:23.160 --> 0:15:26.680 paid him a raid that tied the market. That was 0:15:26.800 --> 0:15:29.840 Remember that at that time, Maria was up, Zeke was up, 0:15:29.960 --> 0:15:32.240 Dat was up, and then the pie and Steve right, 0:15:32.440 --> 0:15:34.600 Stephen was sitting here and telling us to train again. 0:15:34.920 --> 0:15:36.600 We're not setting the market, you know, we're trying to 0:15:36.640 --> 0:15:38.960 give everybody, you know, trying to get you a little bit, 0:15:38.960 --> 0:15:41.680 a little bit. Anyway, everybody got paid. Yeah he did, 0:15:41.800 --> 0:15:45.040 and so I don't why, why why do you expect 0:15:45.080 --> 0:15:48.240 that to stop? Because those guys performed in those years. 0:15:48.760 --> 0:15:53.160 When Amari Cooper was traded here, he changed the entire team. 0:15:53.320 --> 0:15:56.120 He balled, and it was visible for you to say, 0:15:56.160 --> 0:15:59.000 this is why we got to pay the guy. It's documented, 0:15:59.280 --> 0:16:02.840 it's document And here Zeke leaning rusher, him and him 0:16:02.880 --> 0:16:07.040 and and they a rookie year. These guys are they're bawling. 0:16:07.160 --> 0:16:09.400 You can go turn the tape on and say this 0:16:09.480 --> 0:16:11.400 is what I know I can get out of the guy. 0:16:11.880 --> 0:16:15.040 What do you turn on when you see eighty eight 0:16:15.080 --> 0:16:17.480 from this year and last year and say, hey man, 0:16:17.680 --> 0:16:19.480 this is what I know I'm going to get our 0:16:19.600 --> 0:16:22.200 can we if we get the most out of them? 0:16:22.280 --> 0:16:23.960 Then you turn on the tape. Did you say do 0:16:24.080 --> 0:16:26.280 you get do you sign them to a Davante Adams 0:16:26.360 --> 0:16:28.920 type of deal? Justin Jefferson the type of deal because 0:16:28.920 --> 0:16:31.200 I've seen it on tape. Have you seen it on tape? No, 0:16:31.320 --> 0:16:32.880 you haven't, And I mean you put it in it 0:16:32.960 --> 0:16:36.080 in context in a way for people to understand that. Look, 0:16:36.280 --> 0:16:38.400 from the beginning of this season, it was all about 0:16:38.480 --> 0:16:40.600 him taking that step to be a number one receiver. 0:16:40.880 --> 0:16:43.040 He hadn't done it, and that's why you're still having 0:16:43.040 --> 0:16:47.200 these conversations about guys coming in and having that production. 0:16:47.400 --> 0:16:50.480 But in all fairness to CD, he is at nine 0:16:50.640 --> 0:16:53.320 sixty one, Okay, he's on the He's gonna have a 0:16:53.360 --> 0:16:56.160 thousand yard season this year and we're still that's the 0:16:56.240 --> 0:16:59.920 messory stick for success at his position. Is he gonna 0:17:00.000 --> 0:17:02.640 he set the market? No, he's not, because Justin Jefferson 0:17:02.680 --> 0:17:04.640 is gonna be up the same time he is. Justin 0:17:04.720 --> 0:17:07.200 Jefferson is gonna reset the market for wide receivers and 0:17:07.400 --> 0:17:09.760 deservingly set measuring stick is moved, by the way, just 0:17:09.760 --> 0:17:12.359 so y'all know, okay, because Cooper Cup, then reset that. 0:17:12.480 --> 0:17:14.560 Justin Jefferson, I sent you in the reson it's been 0:17:14.800 --> 0:17:17.280 it's been half a thousand yards. How many people gonna 0:17:17.320 --> 0:17:20.080 do a Cooper Cup I'm saying. I'm saying, reaching a 0:17:20.119 --> 0:17:22.760 thousand yards in the season has been minimal for like 0:17:22.800 --> 0:17:25.520 the last five or six years, twelve to thirteen. Yeah, 0:17:25.920 --> 0:17:28.840 maybe you got a thousands, like yeah, right, yeah, the 0:17:28.880 --> 0:17:30.520 twelve thirteen. You know what I'm saying. And you gotta 0:17:30.520 --> 0:17:33.120 add the touchdowns on that as well. And you both 0:17:33.119 --> 0:17:37.000 bring up facts, but when it comes to negotiating the 0:17:37.119 --> 0:17:39.600 facts and stats don't matter because you're gonna go to 0:17:39.680 --> 0:17:42.400 Jerry Heck when you my god, you wearing the eighty 0:17:42.440 --> 0:17:45.080 eight man, So you say they're gonna pay him regardless, 0:17:45.160 --> 0:17:47.960 thank you. That's how new it is he gonna get 0:17:47.960 --> 0:17:50.080 the bad regards, don't matter how this thing is, right, 0:17:50.080 --> 0:17:51.639 he gonna get the money. I think he don't get 0:17:51.680 --> 0:17:53.200 some money. I just don't think he's gonna get top 0:17:53.280 --> 0:17:55.240 top five money when it when it, when it's that time, 0:17:55.320 --> 0:17:57.200 especially if there are other guys who are available on 0:17:57.280 --> 0:18:00.600 the market. You're signing the O'Dell hurt and the playoffs. 0:18:01.000 --> 0:18:03.040 You said the guy once a long, long term deal 0:18:03.280 --> 0:18:06.159 two years, three years. So you sitting up looking at 0:18:06.200 --> 0:18:07.920 having a guy like Odell out there if he's ball 0:18:07.960 --> 0:18:10.320 at the time, saying, yeah, we for pay this guy 0:18:10.760 --> 0:18:13.040 X amount of dollars as well, and the neuis believe 0:18:13.080 --> 0:18:15.040 it's gonna happen. I don't. I don't see it, but 0:18:15.080 --> 0:18:16.840 I do believe that Ceedee Lamb could be that guy 0:18:16.880 --> 0:18:19.199 once again, like I also believe that Amari could. We 0:18:19.280 --> 0:18:21.760 just couldn't make it happen. Is what's missing with CD. 0:18:21.880 --> 0:18:23.480 I'm not sure we also we all know that is 0:18:23.520 --> 0:18:25.560 not playing as well as he should. But once they 0:18:25.680 --> 0:18:27.720 once that gets there, I need to see Ceede Lamb 0:18:27.760 --> 0:18:30.080 be able to put up thirteen hundred yards in the season, 0:18:30.320 --> 0:18:34.160 seven eight touchdowns, something like that. NBA true impact player 0:18:34.240 --> 0:18:36.720 that defensive coordinators can't sleep at night because they think 0:18:36.720 --> 0:18:38.720 about how they're gonna stop eighty. And I continue to 0:18:38.760 --> 0:18:42.560 say this, I got drafted. I was here when D's 0:18:42.600 --> 0:18:45.680 Bryant was here. I just saw a photo of Dre's 0:18:45.720 --> 0:18:48.480 Brian being covered like a damn gunner. They had two 0:18:48.600 --> 0:18:51.320 guys out there trying to jam him up because he 0:18:51.440 --> 0:18:53.359 was on store. Defensive cordiners like, how are we gonna 0:18:53.359 --> 0:18:55.880 do this? We did that the Calvin Johnson. We did 0:18:55.920 --> 0:18:57.639 that when I played against Calvin JOm. We're gonna put 0:18:57.640 --> 0:18:59.320 two guys out there on the goal line because we 0:18:59.359 --> 0:19:01.479 need the jamming up. I just need to see that 0:19:01.520 --> 0:19:03.280
