Take back what I said? Yeah, 0:02:17.360 --> 0:02:19.760 all right, brother, knew. Good to see you man. 0:02:19.800 --> 0:02:23.320 You know is a defensive point. There happened to mister 0:02:23.320 --> 0:02:26.440 press conference. I was out covering baseball and surprise Arizona. So, 0:02:27.080 --> 0:02:30.600 uh thoughts on Zim two point oh. 0:02:30.840 --> 0:02:33.520 Yeah, look at me, you look at me. I love it. 0:02:33.880 --> 0:02:35.880 I love it. I'm gonna go. 0:02:35.960 --> 0:02:39.200 I'm gonna go with you know, I think from the beginning, 0:02:39.360 --> 0:02:41.560 I didn't think that, you know, the Jones family was 0:02:41.600 --> 0:02:44.000 gonna go with an unproven commodity. As much as I 0:02:44.000 --> 0:02:45.640 would have liked for them to look at look at 0:02:45.680 --> 0:02:47.800 some other guys, they were gonna go with somebody that 0:02:47.800 --> 0:02:50.480 they know was proven. And who else better than Zim, 0:02:50.560 --> 0:02:53.760 a guy that they have had plenty of history with 0:02:53.880 --> 0:02:57.280 him and he has survived plenty of head coaches, uh here, 0:02:57.560 --> 0:03:00.640 and so look he was it was a natural to 0:03:00.680 --> 0:03:03.080 bring in a guy like that and look for coach Zimmer, 0:03:03.080 --> 0:03:05.320 he doesn't come in here with having to formulate a 0:03:05.360 --> 0:03:07.639 whole nother scheme and all of that. I think dan 0:03:07.720 --> 0:03:10.040 Quinn kind of showed him the foundation of what he 0:03:10.120 --> 0:03:12.720 has at the base of this defense. The number one 0:03:12.720 --> 0:03:15.120 thing is, y'all know it's gonna be asked, how is 0:03:15.160 --> 0:03:17.280 he going to use Michael Parsons. 0:03:17.520 --> 0:03:19.200 That's it, period, Dott. 0:03:19.000 --> 0:03:21.480 The n and I think dan Quinn did all the 0:03:21.480 --> 0:03:22.920 hard work for you. 0:03:22.560 --> 0:03:25.000 No doubt. I don't know about this one. 0:03:25.360 --> 0:03:27.640 I'm not too sure about this one because when we 0:03:27.680 --> 0:03:30.280 look at, you know, Minnesota Vikings defense, you know over 0:03:30.320 --> 0:03:32.200 the past couple of years. Not saying that he was 0:03:32.200 --> 0:03:33.880 a DC or he was call on players or anything 0:03:33.960 --> 0:03:36.080 like that, but you know, it was the last time 0:03:36.080 --> 0:03:39.360 Minnesota was known to have that great Vonnit defense, that 0:03:39.440 --> 0:03:41.560 defense that shut people out. I mean, last time the 0:03:41.560 --> 0:03:43.800 Cowboys went up there to pass. Couple times Cooper Rush 0:03:43.840 --> 0:03:45.400 went up there and put a put put on some 0:03:45.440 --> 0:03:46.000 points on him. 0:03:46.040 --> 0:03:48.680 That Prescott put a forty piece on him. So that 0:03:48.880 --> 0:03:52.240 wasn't that is true. That is true. I will say that. 0:03:52.960 --> 0:03:55.200 So to me, I got to see how he how 0:03:55.240 --> 0:03:57.760 he you know, incorporates himself within this defense. You know 0:03:57.840 --> 0:03:59.839 from hearing all the quotes out there Harrison Smith saying 0:03:59.840 --> 0:04:01.840 he's kind of a guy that gets after players as 0:04:01.840 --> 0:04:03.960 far as toughens them up, and maybe that's what this 0:04:04.040 --> 0:04:06.200 defense needs, as far as a different voice coming in 0:04:06.240 --> 0:04:09.040 here and making people accountable for their actions out there. 0:04:09.080 --> 0:04:11.240 So if he can bring that, I'm all forward. But 0:04:11.320 --> 0:04:12.280 when we talk about. 0:04:12.080 --> 0:04:14.320 Minnesota and their defense, just when was the last time 0:04:14.320 --> 0:04:16.360 it was, like, man, the purple people eaters, they out 0:04:16.360 --> 0:04:17.320 there doing work out there. 0:04:17.320 --> 0:04:20.520 I just haven't seen that. So I'm looking forward to 0:04:20.520 --> 0:04:21.359 seeing what Zim can do. 0:04:22.160 --> 0:04:24.600 I'm going to say I like the decision to bring 0:04:24.640 --> 0:04:27.440 in Zim. I think you bring in somebody that's familiar. 0:04:27.760 --> 0:04:30.120 You bring in somebody there, Like you said, around the league, 0:04:30.120 --> 0:04:31.760 people are talking about accountability. 0:04:31.839 --> 0:04:32.200 All right. 0:04:32.360 --> 0:04:34.919 What have we been talking about around here for the 0:04:35.040 --> 0:04:38.320 five years that we've been on this podcast finding a 0:04:38.360 --> 0:04:39.400 way to be accountable? 0:04:39.440 --> 0:04:41.719 Oh, by the way, just go listen. 0:04:41.440 --> 0:04:44.239 To some news or some podcasts over the Super Bowl 0:04:44.279 --> 0:04:47.760 week or weeks before that, and you listen to things 0:04:47.800 --> 0:04:50.400 that needs to be addressed by a guy like Zimmer 0:04:50.480 --> 0:04:53.880 holding people accountable right, making sure that people are focused 0:04:53.920 --> 0:04:56.560 on football, and the main thing is the main thing, 0:04:56.600 --> 0:04:59.240 it's football. The thing I disagree with you on is 0:05:00.600 --> 0:05:02.640 Michael Parsons. He got to find him somewhere to put them. 0:05:03.080 --> 0:05:06.200 They need to find out him, Zimmer, how are we 0:05:06.360 --> 0:05:09.560 going to handle this interior defensive line? That is your 0:05:09.640 --> 0:05:12.320 biggest ifs for me is hey, for the for the 0:05:12.440 --> 0:05:15.839 last few years, even before Nolan got here, we have 0:05:16.000 --> 0:05:17.880 not found a way to get one of those big 0:05:17.920 --> 0:05:20.880 one technique, zero, technique three, somebody that's on the inside 0:05:20.920 --> 0:05:22.960 that it's a difference maker. You tried to draft the 0:05:23.000 --> 0:05:25.159 guy didn't work out for you last year. We'll see 0:05:25.160 --> 0:05:27.960 how magic Smith works out this year. But Zimmer is 0:05:27.960 --> 0:05:30.320 gonna have to figure out how to handle this than 0:05:30.320 --> 0:05:32.359 then and get this handled in the trenches. I have 0:05:32.440 --> 0:05:35.640 some I agree with you, man, and so I'm excited about. 0:05:35.640 --> 0:05:36.880 I think you need a new voice. You need a 0:05:36.920 --> 0:05:38.719 guy who's with him to come in here on a 0:05:38.720 --> 0:05:41.680 one year deal essentially, because you don't know what's gonna 0:05:41.680 --> 0:05:44.359 happen after after this year. But the biggest thing for 0:05:44.400 --> 0:05:46.679 me is the accountability and the fact that I'm hearing 0:05:46.760 --> 0:05:49.360 other players say, hey, he's gonna coast the heck out 0:05:49.400 --> 0:05:51.440 of you, and you're gonna appreciate it when it's over. 0:05:51.800 --> 0:05:53.960 But he's gonna hold you accountable no matter if you're 0:05:53.960 --> 0:05:56.000 the top player on the team or the worst or 0:05:56.240 --> 0:05:58.320 at the bottom of the roster. He's gonna treat you 0:05:59.160 --> 0:06:01.080 in a way that make sure he gets the best 0:06:01.080 --> 0:06:02.640 out of you. And I think that's what we need here. 0:06:02.680 --> 0:06:03.640 Shout out to dan Quinn. 0:06:03.720 --> 0:06:06.119 He did. Dan Quinn did an amazing job. 0:06:06.440 --> 0:06:08.320 The voice change here I think would be great as 0:06:08.360 --> 0:06:09.800 long as the players are here to receive it. 0:06:09.839 --> 0:06:11.440 And I think that's the issue that we have. We're 0:06:11.480 --> 0:06:14.440 not sure. We're not sure about that part. 0:06:14.800 --> 0:06:18.960 What I'd like to know from the Joneses is their 0:06:20.400 --> 0:06:23.279 thought process go back to when Kellen Moore was here 0:06:23.680 --> 0:06:27.360 quarterback coach. They elevated an offensive coordinator. They felt good 0:06:27.400 --> 0:06:31.200 and fine about it, and we really didn't know much 0:06:31.240 --> 0:06:35.719 about Kellen Moore. You know, how they had such respect 0:06:35.720 --> 0:06:38.400 for dan Quinn and how he went about this defense 0:06:38.960 --> 0:06:41.360 and changed it. You know, from the first year when 0:06:41.360 --> 0:06:43.120 they got rid of knowing to when he came in here. 0:06:43.200 --> 0:06:46.960 They were paying this man big time money and he 0:06:47.040 --> 0:06:51.120 brought in his coaches. Joey Jr. Dan Quinn got who 0:06:51.160 --> 0:06:53.840 oh by the way, McCarthy worked with, they got eight 0:06:53.880 --> 0:06:56.440 and Dirty dan Quinn got So you pass on those 0:06:56.440 --> 0:07:00.719 guys and they become defensive coordinators for other teams. I'd 0:07:00.800 --> 0:07:04.520 love to know why they didn't think those guys were worthy. 0:07:04.960 --> 0:07:09.480 But yet d Q Boom immediately goes and gets with who, 0:07:09.480 --> 0:07:11.320 by the way, would have liked to have the job 0:07:11.360 --> 0:07:13.800 here because he told talked to him about last year, 0:07:14.240 --> 0:07:17.080 and then Dirty as well. I'm going to be very 0:07:17.120 --> 0:07:20.760 curious to see what happens in those those careers there 0:07:20.800 --> 0:07:22.560 and then people say, well, they know Zimmer and they 0:07:22.600 --> 0:07:24.600 weren't gonna go make anybody first time got but they've 0:07:24.600 --> 0:07:28.880 done it before. Offensively, Jason Garrett was a quarterback coach 0:07:29.080 --> 0:07:31.640 in Miami for a year and then they brought him 0:07:31.680 --> 0:07:34.480 here as the offensive corder. In fact, remember heck, they 0:07:34.560 --> 0:07:38.400 hired Jason before they even hired the head coach. He 0:07:38.560 --> 0:07:41.040 was that sold on. So I'd love to know why 0:07:41.280 --> 0:07:45.920 you'll take a chance offensively with unknowns. But defensively, I 0:07:45.960 --> 0:07:46.840 don't know about that. 0:07:46.760 --> 0:07:49.000 You know, you know, I'm just thinking and this is 0:07:49.560 --> 0:07:51.480 a little bit different, But I think about when rich 0:07:51.520 --> 0:07:56.600 Possoskia left and they put Ko to run rich Posassia's scheme, 0:07:57.280 --> 0:08:00.000 which if you don't bring your own thing in right, 0:08:00.160 --> 0:08:01.800 just bringing in the new voice to do the same 0:08:01.800 --> 0:08:04.080 old stuff. Sometimes that doesn't work. And I think for 0:08:04.160 --> 0:08:06.360 me that was a fear of what may happen. We'll 0:08:06.360 --> 0:08:08.520 elevate somebody else, but we'll still be running the same stuff. 0:08:08.520 --> 0:08:10.880 And we're still in here talking about accountability problems, not 0:08:11.000 --> 0:08:13.320 no uh, not holding up in the trenches trying to 0:08:13.320 --> 0:08:15.200 get that stuff figured out. And I think you bring 0:08:15.320 --> 0:08:17.320 up a guy who's already here, I think you still 0:08:17.360 --> 0:08:19.440 have those same issues. Put hear me out on this man. 0:08:19.760 --> 0:08:23.360 And I only think when I say this about Micah 0:08:23.520 --> 0:08:27.160 and just in general, because I agree with you, you're going 0:08:27.240 --> 0:08:29.600 to have to bring in the personnel around him to 0:08:29.680 --> 0:08:32.120 accentuate who he is as a player. I think we 0:08:32.160 --> 0:08:34.200 got in trouble three years ago and we started using 0:08:34.440 --> 0:08:37.760 the word hybrid with guys like Kean O'Neill and players 0:08:37.840 --> 0:08:41.160 like that, and we essentially we just started drafting guys. 0:08:41.200 --> 0:08:43.040 Oh he's a defensive end of cads, we'n move him 0:08:43.040 --> 0:08:44.800 down to the five. You know, we'll move making him 0:08:44.800 --> 0:08:46.959 a three and all that, and guys were playing out 0:08:46.960 --> 0:08:51.200 of positions. What is his vision as a defensive coordinator? 0:08:51.320 --> 0:08:51.680 Zimmer? 0:08:51.720 --> 0:08:53.840 That is because I think when I look at young 0:08:53.880 --> 0:08:56.719 coaches in the NFL, they coach scheme more. They come 0:08:56.760 --> 0:08:59.920 in with a scheme. For me, I think Zim, he's 0:09:00.040 --> 0:09:02.800 going to be successful if he coaches player. It's like 0:09:03.360 --> 0:09:06.040 you mentioned last week, Dick lebo a play a coach 0:09:06.160 --> 0:09:10.280 like that that goes and he gets number forty three Palamalu. 0:09:10.840 --> 0:09:14.480 He knowed, he knew how to use Palamalu in that system. 0:09:14.640 --> 0:09:16.640 Any other coach wouldn't have been able to use him 0:09:16.720 --> 0:09:19.480 that way. What has Zimmer seen from the outside looking 0:09:19.480 --> 0:09:21.800 in that says I can use Michael like that. That's 0:09:21.800 --> 0:09:25.800 what I'm interested and seeing. Because this defense already top five, 0:09:25.920 --> 0:09:30.560 top ten takeaways, pressures, and sacks. The piece that you 0:09:30.640 --> 0:09:33.079 have to add to this defense isn't as large as 0:09:33.080 --> 0:09:34.000 people think it is. 0:09:34.080 --> 0:09:36.440 You gotta stop the damn run. That's it. 0:09:36.720 --> 0:09:38.880 You gotta stop the run. And to me, I think 0:09:38.880 --> 0:09:41.360 that's that's gonna be his calling card when he went here. 0:09:41.480 --> 0:09:43.679 So he gotta stop the run real quick, though, So 0:09:44.320 --> 0:09:45.160 can we can at anybody? 0:09:45.200 --> 0:09:46.840 When was the last time Zim was like the head 0:09:46.840 --> 0:09:51.160 of the defense, he was Cincinnacinnati And in those Cincinnati runs, 0:09:51.200 --> 0:09:53.400 was it similar to Minnesota where they have those two 0:09:53.520 --> 0:09:56.040 high two high safeties. It wasn't really a lot of 0:09:56.240 --> 0:09:58.520 single high safety out there. And that's what this defense 0:09:58.559 --> 0:10:00.600 in the past couple of years talking about Quinn system 0:10:00.600 --> 0:10:03.160 has flourished in a single high safety because they have 0:10:03.280 --> 0:10:06.360 those pieces like a Donald, like a curse at times 0:10:06.440 --> 0:10:07.959 that can go down there and get into those bodys. 0:10:08.600 --> 0:10:10.400 When you get into that, when you get into that 0:10:10.400 --> 0:10:13.160 too high system, we all understand that's different for safeties. 0:10:13.160 --> 0:10:14.480 That's a different personnel wise. 0:10:14.720 --> 0:10:16.840 Are we gonna trust that if they do type run 0:10:16.880 --> 0:10:19.559 that thing, that Donald can be back in a half half. 0:10:19.360 --> 0:10:20.720 Feel safety of the entire game. 0:10:21.679 --> 0:10:23.000 I know Hooker can do it because he's been in 0:10:23.040 --> 0:10:24.880 the back end predominantly his whole career. 0:10:25.320 --> 0:10:26.959 But do we have those pieces to kind of fit 0:10:27.040 --> 0:10:28.839 into that too high system. I think you would be 0:10:28.880 --> 0:10:29.920 the best person to tell. 0:10:29.840 --> 0:10:37.559 Us, Yeah, I don't think that's something I gotta we got. 0:10:38.040 --> 0:10:38.800 We gotta look at it. 0:10:39.480 --> 0:10:44.559 That's not that's scary. And I'm not talking about Donald. 0:10:45.400 --> 0:10:47.200 The man makes how much money he can't get back 0:10:47.240 --> 0:10:49.920 there and play cover too. That that that that would 0:10:49.920 --> 0:10:53.120 be a bigger issue than bringing in bringing in a 0:10:53.160 --> 0:10:58.200 new He better be able to get back. Yeah, we 0:10:58.280 --> 0:11:01.320 haven't seen it. Ye now I feel you and I 0:11:01.320 --> 0:11:04.400 think you know. The whole thing is changing. So yeah, ahead, no. 0:11:04.480 --> 0:11:09.640 No, just just piggybacking on stopping the run. Defensive line 0:11:09.679 --> 0:11:12.320 coach chefs Agni comes in here with Mike Zimmer and 0:11:12.360 --> 0:11:15.720 then former Dallas Cowboy, former first round draft breg Ellis 0:11:16.080 --> 0:11:20.000 is a defensive line coach. So this is where they're 0:11:20.040 --> 0:11:24.600 starting from. But ultimately we look at these coaches and 0:11:24.880 --> 0:11:26.920 is it the carpenter is at the carpenter's tools and 0:11:27.000 --> 0:11:30.880 right now the carpenter's tools. Uh, the toolbox is lacking, 0:11:31.520 --> 0:11:33.160 and they've got to figure out how they're going to 0:11:33.200 --> 0:11:36.560 address it. And obviously next month was when free agency starts, 0:11:36.559 --> 0:11:39.080 and then the draft will be in April. They've got 0:11:39.120 --> 0:11:41.960 to address that up front. Somebody they asked me about 0:11:41.960 --> 0:11:45.320 Mozzie Smith, and I said, I don't know. Can you 0:11:45.360 --> 0:11:48.320 trust Mozzie Smith. He didn't talk to us. You know, 0:11:48.400 --> 0:11:52.520 mozzid a great job of ducking the media, and so 0:11:52.760 --> 0:11:54.800 I don't know what the offseason program is going to 0:11:54.840 --> 0:11:56.160 be for him and where they're going to go, what 0:11:56.200 --> 0:11:59.720 they're gonna do. But some people like Brian brought us right. 0:12:00.120 --> 0:12:03.080 Skyboys dot Com says, you know what, hey, I think 0:12:03.120 --> 0:12:05.000 he's gonna be. Okay, don't give up on him yet, 0:12:05.040 --> 0:12:07.719 but you gotta be at some point in time, we 0:12:07.760 --> 0:12:09.720 gotta have some comfort. We saw with jay On Tobert 0:12:09.720 --> 0:12:12.800 where he got better, you know. We saw with Treyvon 0:12:12.840 --> 0:12:15.640 Diggs after forget, we saw where he got better. Right now, 0:12:15.679 --> 0:12:19.439 we don't know how does Mazie Smith get better. 0:12:20.600 --> 0:12:23.800 M Yeah, y'all asked the tough questions and look over here. 0:12:27.640 --> 0:12:31.640 You know what we coming into last season, we figured 0:12:31.679 --> 0:12:33.360 the whole time we needed a guy at the one 0:12:33.400 --> 0:12:35.480 technique that can stop the one. Even though we had 0:12:35.720 --> 0:12:39.719 it got I got in free agency mid season, it's 0:12:39.720 --> 0:12:41.800 still was something that was lacking there. And we thought, 0:12:41.840 --> 0:12:44.360 look if we get this guy number one out of 0:12:44.400 --> 0:12:48.040 the back, coming from uh coming from Michigan, he seemed 0:12:48.040 --> 0:12:50.240 to fit that Bill, but then once you put him 0:12:50.280 --> 0:12:52.080 on the field, none of that came to pass. He 0:12:52.160 --> 0:13:19.600 lost the weight, he didn't fit. No Bill Herd. 0:13:11.280 --> 0:13:11.880 Crazy. 0:13:12.360 --> 0:13:16.439 Now I hope, I really, I really do hope that 0:13:16.440 --> 0:13:19.160 that Masie Smith comes on this year and he plays better. 0:13:19.720 --> 0:13:23.520 That still ain't gonna be what solves the running game issues. 0:13:23.559 --> 0:13:25.600 You got linebackers that you need to figure out how 0:13:25.640 --> 0:13:27.960 to get to get in the draft or getting free agency. 0:13:28.000 --> 0:13:30.240 You got to help us. You gotta sure up the 0:13:30.280 --> 0:13:32.440 inside with the one and the three or what. However, 0:13:32.760 --> 0:13:35.440 Zimmer comes in here and decides to play it, and 0:13:35.480 --> 0:13:37.280 then I think the whole thing with finding out how 0:13:37.280 --> 0:13:39.199 to play Mike, I think as good as he. 0:13:39.200 --> 0:13:41.960 Is, that's what makes that a strange thing to me. 0:13:42.640 --> 0:13:46.960 Like he's gonna be he should be able to play anywhere, right, Like, 0:13:47.000 --> 0:13:49.200 hey man, you go right there and then you're gonna 0:13:49.200 --> 0:13:51.520 be a different difference maker right there, versus like we 0:13:51.600 --> 0:13:53.520 gotta find a way to put you in a in 0:13:53.559 --> 0:13:56.840 a whatever position to be successful. Nah you you you 0:13:56.880 --> 0:13:59.000 said you're the number one pass rush of the league, 0:13:59.440 --> 0:14:02.560 So we ain't gotta find nowhere to put you. 0:14:02.559 --> 0:14:04.840 You're gonna win wherever you at. I think that is 0:14:04.880 --> 0:14:05.160 the thing. 0:14:05.240 --> 0:14:07.400 So like, let Michael be what he's gonna be, right 0:14:07.400 --> 0:14:09.640 because you know he's a great player, figure out the 0:14:09.679 --> 0:14:11.720 rest of this stuff and then then work off of 0:14:11.720 --> 0:14:14.640 that because you trying to work around and having Mike 0:14:14.679 --> 0:14:15.520 could be successful. 0:14:15.800 --> 0:14:16.960 That's gonna be an issue for you. 0:14:17.040 --> 0:14:20.320 But Michael told Stephen Stephen a swift he's giving Jerry 0:14:20.360 --> 0:14:22.320 some you know. He has his. 0:14:22.320 --> 0:14:24.560 Thoughts on roster, which to me is wild. 0:14:24.720 --> 0:14:26.520 Sister gm he Lebron. 0:14:27.160 --> 0:14:28.960 It's the same dude that said it don't matter how 0:14:29.000 --> 0:14:30.560 far you making the playoffs. If you don't win the 0:14:30.600 --> 0:14:33.080 super Bowl, then it don't matter. It's all participations in trophies. 0:14:33.560 --> 0:14:37.200 He help us losing in the wildcard around. It's the 0:14:37.240 --> 0:14:39.640 same as the San Francisco forty nine is playing in 0:14:39.640 --> 0:14:41.600 the close game with the Kansas City Chiefs, going to 0:14:41.720 --> 0:14:44.560 overtime and losing. Is what he said. Crazy or not, 0:14:45.960 --> 0:14:48.880 it's crazy. It's crazy. It don't make no sense. 0:14:51.000 --> 0:14:55.120 We hear the word accountability. So the same book where 0:14:55.120 --> 0:15:01.560 I read about trust, read about accountability. There's there's not 0:15:02.920 --> 0:15:06.480 the accountability that needs to be on this football team. 0:15:07.160 --> 0:15:12.640 And as great a talent as Michael Parsons is, he's 0:15:12.680 --> 0:15:18.280 doing a lot of talking and the accountability is just 0:15:18.360 --> 0:15:22.720 not there enough for me. For all the things that 0:15:22.760 --> 0:15:27.720 I'm continuing to hear from him, you're trying to be 0:15:27.760 --> 0:15:30.400 the assistant GM when at the end of the day, 0:15:31.280 --> 0:15:32.920 probably be a lot better if you talked about how 0:15:32.920 --> 0:15:34.960 you need to have an impact in these in these 0:15:34.960 --> 0:15:39.520 football games, right in the Packers game where you're not 0:15:39.520 --> 0:15:43.480 getting to the quarterback, you have to be a person 0:15:44.000 --> 0:15:47.400 that is making play your best guys. You two play 0:15:47.480 --> 0:15:51.160 the league and you understand and know the best players 0:15:51.200 --> 0:15:53.800 have to make the plays the playoff games. And if 0:15:53.800 --> 0:15:55.560 your best players aren't making the plays, it's gonna be 0:15:55.600 --> 0:15:59.000 hard to win games, period, hard to win games, and 0:15:59.080 --> 0:16:01.120 in the playoff loss is that the Cowboys have had, 0:16:01.280 --> 0:16:03.120 Like Parsis has not been that guy that you needed 0:16:03.160 --> 0:16:03.440 him to be. 0:16:03.600 --> 0:16:05.600 This is your issue, his issue for me, and I 0:16:05.600 --> 0:16:07.960 think he can do it. It's not just about sacks, 0:16:08.280 --> 0:16:11.040 Like it's not just about that those other players that 0:16:11.080 --> 0:16:13.280 you that you are naming, who well we have a name, 0:16:13.360 --> 0:16:15.640 but we talk about the make big time players. Is hey, man, 0:16:15.680 --> 0:16:17.320 if they not get to the quarterback, are they batting 0:16:17.320 --> 0:16:21.080 down balls, are they getting interceptions, tip balls? 0:16:22.320 --> 0:16:23.560 Are they doing any of that stuff? 0:16:23.600 --> 0:16:25.120 Like if you okay, all right, you don't have to 0:16:25.120 --> 0:16:28.040 get two three sacks every game, but the impact that 0:16:28.080 --> 0:16:30.440 you have on the game has to be consistent no 0:16:30.480 --> 0:16:32.480 matter what. All right, Yeah, it's quick throws. All right, 0:16:32.480 --> 0:16:35.280 I'm knocking five passes down. And you see other players 0:16:35.320 --> 0:16:37.200 around the league be able to do that. Most of 0:16:37.240 --> 0:16:39.480 them are natural defensive ends and they are used to 0:16:39.520 --> 0:16:42.000 that timing when somebody tries to throw a job based screen. 0:16:42.000 --> 0:16:43.320 But those are the things that you have to get 0:16:43.320 --> 0:16:44.720 better at when you're not able to get to the 0:16:44.760 --> 0:16:45.320 quarterbacks them. 0:16:45.440 --> 0:16:48.320 So when you saw you guys with you young, you 0:16:48.480 --> 0:16:52.880 saw where Laurence Taylor made impact everywhere you go. Look 0:16:52.880 --> 0:16:55.760 at special lawis Taylor was playing special team. Yeah, look, 0:16:56.400 --> 0:16:59.720 I mean punk fueld goal. I mean he was everywhere. 0:17:00.040 --> 0:17:02.360 When Danny you talk about that and people try to 0:17:02.520 --> 0:17:05.479 mention his name with Lawrence Taylor, you cannot do it 0:17:05.520 --> 0:17:08.480 because lt was everywhere. 0:17:08.520 --> 0:17:11.600 All right, question, guys, when do we start I mean, look, 0:17:11.640 --> 0:17:13.199 it's not a good look. Let me start with that. 0:17:13.240 --> 0:17:14.879 It's not a good look. You shouldn't do it. You 0:17:15.000 --> 0:17:19.520 do what you're saying, it puts it. Everybody's listening to you, 0:17:19.560 --> 0:17:21.280 going what is this young man saying? 0:17:21.440 --> 0:17:21.680 Right? 0:17:22.280 --> 0:17:24.720 But when do you separate what he's saying from his 0:17:24.840 --> 0:17:27.200 actions through I'm talking about through the season, all right, 0:17:27.280 --> 0:17:29.000 We can go to the playoffs and say, man, he 0:17:29.040 --> 0:17:31.320 did not have his dynamic a game. But when do 0:17:31.400 --> 0:17:33.919 you separate the player? Because to me, it seems like 0:17:34.200 --> 0:17:37.200 what he's saying is diminishing what he's doing on the field. 0:17:37.240 --> 0:17:39.680 And how can that be when he's putting up numbers 0:17:39.720 --> 0:17:42.240 that's putting him in the same breadth as some of 0:17:42.240 --> 0:17:44.080 the great players that's played in this league. 0:17:44.359 --> 0:17:47.359 And that's what I'm like. We don't like what he said, 0:17:47.400 --> 0:17:48.400 but what about his play? 0:17:48.560 --> 0:17:52.400 All right? Dofives? Do offensive coordinator scheme to get those 0:17:52.400 --> 0:17:54.960 stretch runs away from Micah to get him running that 0:17:55.040 --> 0:17:57.320 way and then come behind it and put a screen 0:17:57.560 --> 0:17:59.960 come in. There are ways the scheme guys out of game. 0:18:00.320 --> 0:18:02.440 Am I right or wrong? I mean, I'm just saying 0:18:02.480 --> 0:18:04.639 this is this is a situation to me. 0:18:07.240 --> 0:18:11.680 In top five diminishing what you're doing. 0:18:11.760 --> 0:18:14.240 If you're saying a guy who gets nineteen sacks in 0:18:14.280 --> 0:18:17.480 a season two times you just said, but you just said, 0:18:17.640 --> 0:18:19.359 but you just said, it's not just the se He 0:18:19.400 --> 0:18:20.359 also has a pick six. 0:18:20.520 --> 0:18:21.879 He also has better than balls. 0:18:21.880 --> 0:18:25.000 But those those those other things that Micah does, We're 0:18:25.000 --> 0:18:27.080 not talking about the pressures. We're not talking about the 0:18:27.080 --> 0:18:29.719 other parts of his games that make him a special player. 0:18:30.160 --> 0:18:30.760 I will say this. 0:18:30.800 --> 0:18:34.479 He named all those fats, double team win ray, he 0:18:34.560 --> 0:18:38.680 went into depth on all those stats that let that 0:18:38.680 --> 0:18:40.399 that for the reasons why TJ. 0:18:40.560 --> 0:18:42.640 Watt are is not as good as him. 0:18:42.720 --> 0:18:45.399 So he mentioned that stuff and all I said, well, 0:18:45.440 --> 0:18:46.840 hey man, the man got nineteen sex. 0:18:46.880 --> 0:18:48.880 I don't care who what your name is. He don't 0:18:48.880 --> 0:18:49.919 have to be t J. Watt. 0:18:50.080 --> 0:18:52.360 Any player that comes into the league and has nineteen 0:18:52.440 --> 0:18:55.080 sex deserves the respect to say, Okay, he probably at 0:18:55.160 --> 0:18:58.280 least top five. It's not it's not taking away from 0:18:58.280 --> 0:19:01.680 what Micah does on the field. That's all we're talking 0:19:01.680 --> 0:19:05.600 about now is the game is over. The season's over. Now. 0:19:05.640 --> 0:19:07.840 When everybody talk about when you always talking about the Cowboys, 0:19:07.960 --> 0:19:10.480 and the Cowboys always in the news and y'all always 0:19:10.480 --> 0:19:11.240 want to mess with us. 0:19:11.600 --> 0:19:16.240 Are we talking about? So another issue? Hey man, you're 0:19:16.240 --> 0:19:18.560 a current player. Lead them current players along. 0:19:18.640 --> 0:19:21.480 You' the dude over here talking about former players all 0:19:21.480 --> 0:19:22.720 old and hating and stuff. 0:19:22.720 --> 0:19:23.879 And then we get this, Come. 0:19:23.760 --> 0:19:28.480 On, man, lining up the resume of TJ. Watt and 0:19:28.560 --> 0:19:32.399 Michael Parson. You line it up right now. It's TJ. 0:19:32.520 --> 0:19:37.320 Watt all day long, all day long, because of the 0:19:37.359 --> 0:19:41.520 resume and what you've done and winning defensive player. The 0:19:41.600 --> 0:19:44.199 I mean, it's there. And so when you want to 0:19:44.240 --> 0:19:49.359 start going down that list, start checking the boxes. TJ's 0:19:49.400 --> 0:19:52.040 got the boxes. And ultimately, I think we're all kind 0:19:52.040 --> 0:19:56.000 of just sitting here saying, hey, man, let your play 0:19:56.720 --> 0:20:03.680 and accomplishments. Do all this talking the accountability. You can't 0:20:03.720 --> 0:20:05.639 sit around here, point your finger the man over it 0:20:05.680 --> 0:20:07.800 is and don't who's done checked off boxes? You haven't 0:20:07.840 --> 0:20:10.960 checked off before. It's it's it's not a good look. 0:20:12.119 --> 0:20:15.280 And I'm not trying to say, say not even top five. 0:20:19.760 --> 0:20:21.080 It's making a hardware in his house. 0:20:21.119 --> 0:20:23.879 You don't have think about I think about Kevin Bayern 0:20:23.960 --> 0:20:26.760 or somebody saying that, or whoever was playing with a 0:20:26.960 --> 0:20:29.440 Reed and Palamlau at the time, being like, you get them, dude, 0:20:29.840 --> 0:20:31.760 they got all the picks, but it's because of whatever 0:20:31.800 --> 0:20:34.040 reason they ain't top five. 0:20:34.080 --> 0:20:34.600 What do you mean? 0:20:35.680 --> 0:20:38.960 What do you mean? It's not a good look, right. 0:20:38.880 --> 0:20:41.720 It's just good look and you just and so that's 0:20:41.720 --> 0:20:45.119 when you come back into the accountability. For anybody's thinking, 0:20:45.320 --> 0:20:47.160 Mike Zimmer is gonna hold these guys accountable. 0:20:47.200 --> 0:20:53.240 Really, I think so, you know, I'm hoping, So I'm hoping. 0:20:53.359 --> 0:20:56.000 So why why don't you think so? Why don't you think? 0:20:56.200 --> 0:20:57.440 I think we all understand why. 0:20:58.440 --> 0:21:00.520 It only is a certain number of players can do 0:21:01.320 --> 0:21:02.960 just that, which is, if a coach is coming at 0:21:03.040 --> 0:21:04.840 you say I understand where you're coming, but I'm gonna 0:21:04.880 --> 0:21:05.840 go up top. 0:21:05.680 --> 0:21:10.040 With it and see what the big dolphin. That's what 0:21:10.160 --> 0:21:10.920 I'm kind of like. 0:21:13.119 --> 0:21:14.280 If the owner a tripping. 0:21:15.160 --> 0:21:18.119 And that's the thing, like the coaches can say, you know, no, no, no, 0:21:18.359 --> 0:21:20.280 all they want to, you know, but there's a select 0:21:20.320 --> 0:21:22.440 few guys that can be like, all right, coach, I understand, 0:21:22.680 --> 0:21:24.560 but let me go have a conversation with with the 0:21:24.560 --> 0:21:26.159 big dump and see what he thinks about it. 0:21:26.280 --> 0:21:27.679 Good thing he on a one year deal, so it 0:21:27.680 --> 0:21:32.240 don't even matter. Go ahead and tell me that's that's 0:21:32.240 --> 0:21:33.119 the reality of it. 0:21:34.160 --> 0:21:37.000 That's it's gonna be interesting. I mean, if the current staff, 0:21:37.240 --> 0:21:40.960 who we all agrees are really good, if they couldn't, 0:21:41.480 --> 0:21:43.720 I don't know who is going to rain him in. 0:21:43.880 --> 0:21:45.840 And there by the way, there is a head coach. 0:21:45.720 --> 0:21:47.280 Right well, I do have to say this. 0:21:47.320 --> 0:21:50.239 I don't think his off the field stuff impacted what 0:21:50.280 --> 0:21:52.119 he did on the field this season, like like, I 0:21:52.160 --> 0:21:53.720 don't think I don't think that was the thing. So 0:21:54.040 --> 0:21:55.760 I don't think they really have to really meant for 0:21:55.840 --> 0:21:57.320 him to be able to play better. But I think 0:21:57.400 --> 0:22:01.080 what he's doing now may become an issue and. 0:22:01.240 --> 0:22:08.160 Celebrity talk about the locker round, like let's make that man, 0:22:08.320 --> 0:22:11.199 if you're player and you got your leader over there 0:22:11.200 --> 0:22:13.640 and say hey, I need somebody else, don't doing that job. 0:22:13.680 --> 0:22:15.160 I need somebody else doing this job. 0:22:15.480 --> 0:22:17.480 They talking about you, they're taking food out of you 0:22:17.480 --> 0:22:19.879 your pocket, saying that that's to be that that's wild. 0:22:20.720 --> 0:22:23.640 Last year wanted to get all in this year, did 0:22:23.680 --> 0:22:26.439 you watch the whole thing? Did you watch the entire interview? 0:22:26.480 --> 0:22:36.480 Which one Stephen A. Smith was just a lot of times? 0:22:40.080 --> 0:22:41.680 Which one? And that's what's bad. 0:22:41.840 --> 0:22:43.800 And that's what's bad when you're talking about your star 0:22:43.920 --> 0:22:46.479 player being in the media this way. That's why I'm 0:22:46.520 --> 0:22:50.080 talking about his words diminishing what he does as All 0:22:50.119 --> 0:22:52.879 Star break. Yeah, that's what I'm saying that that is 0:22:52.960 --> 0:22:56.679 exactly the trophy. That's exactly what I mean. It doesn't 0:22:56.680 --> 0:22:59.080 diminish what he's done on the football field. I think 0:22:59.160 --> 0:23:01.520 I think it's it's it's an issue of off the field, 0:23:01.640 --> 0:23:03.440 like you, like. 0:23:03.359 --> 0:23:04.119 I don't want to start them. 0:23:04.280 --> 0:23:05.560 You got to go back in the locker room, and 0:23:05.640 --> 0:23:08.119 then you gotta look at these dudes, right, and maybe 0:23:08.200 --> 0:23:10.240 maybe they got an understanding in there. But I know, 0:23:10.280 --> 0:23:12.840 if I'm some of those guys that are being talked about, 0:23:13.080 --> 0:23:15.240 I'm looking at you a little crazy. The question was 0:23:15.320 --> 0:23:18.480 asked about a particular interview, and he mentioned the interview 0:23:18.680 --> 0:23:20.719 and that's it. And you all know that the interview 0:23:20.800 --> 0:23:24.280 was crazy. What I know is you could have said less. 0:23:24.720 --> 0:23:30.000 You could have said so. But that's the thing though. 0:23:30.119 --> 0:23:33.920 If Church comes out and says something that I don't 0:23:34.000 --> 0:23:37.199 agree with, right, if somebody asked me about it, I 0:23:37.280 --> 0:23:39.280 have the right to be like, yeah, that's my boy. 0:23:39.320 --> 0:23:40.920 You know what I'm saying. I don't agree, but you 0:23:40.920 --> 0:23:42.560 know what I'm saying, that's my dog. And that's it. 0:23:42.640 --> 0:23:44.119 Like I got the right to be able to do that. 0:23:44.160 --> 0:23:46.359 I don't have to go on no five minutes rant 0:23:46.400 --> 0:23:48.960 about why I feel this way and what we don't have. 0:23:49.040 --> 0:23:51.160 I don't I don't have to do that.

Heck 0:27:23.240 --> 0:27:25.440 Ma Harrison, Danny Mccrayberry, Church of the Restructs. This is 0:27:25.440 --> 0:27:27.280 the players that I was brought to you by Tostitos. 0:27:27.640 --> 0:27:31.119 All right, Michael didn't talk about this, so we'll just 0:27:31.119 --> 0:27:33.320 talk about this on a row. We've got a free, 0:27:33.480 --> 0:27:35.720 pending free agent and left tackle Tyed Smith. 0:27:35.920 --> 0:27:38.960 Sam. He does not want to retire. 0:27:40.160 --> 0:27:42.040 He does not want to retire, so. 0:27:45.280 --> 0:27:47.720 I got to brush that thing off. 0:27:48.040 --> 0:27:51.919 Free agency happens in March. The draft happens in April. 0:27:52.240 --> 0:27:54.879 The Cowboys brought him back, and it was you know, 0:27:54.920 --> 0:27:56.640 it was a contract where they kind of went game 0:27:56.680 --> 0:28:00.240 by game here. So Sam, what do you do you 0:28:00.400 --> 0:28:03.679 all the Dallas Cowboys knowing that Tyron Smith would like 0:28:03.840 --> 0:28:07.480 to inquiring, Yes, yes. 0:28:08.760 --> 0:28:10.560 Let me let me say this. Let me say this 0:28:10.640 --> 0:28:14.560 about Tyron Smith. Okay, no, no, no, let me say this 0:28:14.600 --> 0:28:18.560 about Tyron Smith. It is it has gotten, it has 0:28:18.600 --> 0:28:22.240 become a more difficult conversation to have now based off 0:28:22.880 --> 0:28:25.720 what they found out last year of all right, man, 0:28:25.760 --> 0:28:28.160 practice a little less, go through the week, and make 0:28:28.160 --> 0:28:29.879 sure you don't put as much stress on yourself and 0:28:29.920 --> 0:28:32.800 be ready for Sunday. And we saw for the most 0:28:32.800 --> 0:28:36.159 part when they did that, he was healthy. He was 0:28:36.200 --> 0:28:38.360 out there, and he was a dominant left tackle. 0:28:38.560 --> 0:28:41.120 All right. So if you can find a way to. 0:28:41.200 --> 0:28:44.640 Make sure that that continues throughout the off season, throughout 0:28:44.680 --> 0:28:47.400 training camp, and throughout the season, you say, Okay, this 0:28:47.440 --> 0:28:49.640 is the formula that we got Britt Brown and Jim 0:28:49.680 --> 0:28:52.000 Male wearing on them and Greg. If that's what they 0:28:52.000 --> 0:28:54.400 got and it works, you don't have no choice but 0:28:54.520 --> 0:28:56.760 to bring him back because he was still one of 0:28:56.800 --> 0:28:59.040 the top tackles in the league. He was when he 0:28:59.120 --> 0:29:01.320 was there. Our issue with him is this My issue 0:29:01.360 --> 0:29:02.920 is like, hey, man, is he going to be healthy. 0:29:03.080 --> 0:29:05.200 We've seen I think after that he missed one game. Yah, 0:29:05.520 --> 0:29:07.160 he missed one game after that after he started doing 0:29:07.160 --> 0:29:09.160 that stuff. So if that's the way he's gonna miss 0:29:09.200 --> 0:29:12.560 one game in a year, yes, bring him back because 0:29:12.640 --> 0:29:16.080 he is still a dominant player. I'm completely torn on 0:29:16.120 --> 0:29:18.360 this one, I really am, because I feel like Tyler 0:29:18.360 --> 0:29:20.680 Smith has shown you to this dude, this point that 0:29:20.760 --> 0:29:23.360 he is your air parent out at the left tackle, 0:29:23.400 --> 0:29:26.840 and sometimes we're holding on to to whatever the ghost 0:29:26.880 --> 0:29:29.720 of what he was, what he is through through injuries, 0:29:29.760 --> 0:29:33.400 through all of that. Look, let's just go forward. Tyler 0:29:33.440 --> 0:29:35.960 Smith is our left tackle, all right. We can find 0:29:35.960 --> 0:29:37.720 a guard. We can go into the draft. We can 0:29:37.720 --> 0:29:40.520 get us a guard. We recognize coming into this draft 0:29:40.600 --> 0:29:43.080 certain components that we needed. We needed to guard our 0:29:43.200 --> 0:29:45.880 tackle coming into this draft, maybe even a center. 0:29:46.240 --> 0:29:49.840 So let's go ahead and get that. And if Tyron. 0:29:49.520 --> 0:29:51.880 Smith can be we talked about swing tackle, a guy 0:29:51.920 --> 0:29:54.800 that can fill in and still be that, and he 0:29:54.880 --> 0:29:57.240 agrees to do that, then do it. But if it's 0:29:57.240 --> 0:29:59.200 time to move on, then I'm okay with that too. 0:29:59.480 --> 0:30:01.240 But I think how the Smith is your left hand. 0:30:01.320 --> 0:30:03.920 So so you go draft a guy or free agency, whatever, 0:30:03.960 --> 0:30:07.120 but you bring a guy in either through free agency 0:30:07.400 --> 0:30:10.080 or through the draft. I get a guard or a 0:30:10.120 --> 0:30:11.280 center or both. 0:30:11.880 --> 0:30:12.240 Gotcha? 0:30:12.680 --> 0:30:15.000 One of the two questions you have to have, one 0:30:15.000 --> 0:30:16.800 of the cost benefit of analysis. Is it a one 0:30:16.840 --> 0:30:18.720 year deal or is he looking for multiple years? So 0:30:18.760 --> 0:30:20.240 you have to figure that out right there. What is 0:30:20.240 --> 0:30:22.760 it the player wants and doesn't fit in for what 0:30:22.800 --> 0:30:23.640 you'd like to do. 0:30:23.840 --> 0:30:24.240 And. 0:30:25.920 --> 0:30:31.440 They spent money drafting off some Richard's Matt wilesco, Josh 0:30:31.480 --> 0:30:35.320 Ball from your talk to your offensive line code? Where 0:30:35.360 --> 0:30:37.960 are these guys at? You know that? That, to me 0:30:38.080 --> 0:30:40.640 is a pretty integral thing about because you've tried to 0:30:40.640 --> 0:30:43.840 do this, have you failed? Internally? I think that's another 0:30:43.880 --> 0:30:46.160 thing that goes in there. And yes, we can talk 0:30:46.200 --> 0:30:52.840 about trying to draft that position, but remember your other 0:30:52.840 --> 0:30:57.040 free agent here, your center. Yeah, how much money are 0:30:57.080 --> 0:30:59.680 you willing to invest in a center who made the 0:30:59.680 --> 0:31:02.360 Pro two years ago? He's going to come and want 0:31:03.480 --> 0:31:06.840 a nice deal. To me, that's another area you've got 0:31:06.840 --> 0:31:09.920 to look at. There could potentially be some nice centers 0:31:09.960 --> 0:31:12.480 in this draft, and what you're looking for ideally is 0:31:12.480 --> 0:31:15.160 a plug and play guy. The Ravens did this two 0:31:15.280 --> 0:31:17.760 years ago and they've got a player who who's Who's 0:31:17.800 --> 0:31:20.520 Who's been on the award list. So this is this 0:31:20.560 --> 0:31:23.040 is an interesting thing because you could potentially have two 0:31:23.080 --> 0:31:25.440 spots you have to fill your left tackle and your center, 0:31:25.960 --> 0:31:28.520 depending on how you want to spend your dollars. And 0:31:29.400 --> 0:31:32.040 if you do let Tyron go and you put Tyler 0:31:32.040 --> 0:31:34.239 Smith there, you know how do you address it and 0:31:34.440 --> 0:31:37.360 can you save some money as you're trying to re 0:31:37.520 --> 0:31:39.400 sign a ceed Because I don't think Ceedee Lamb is 0:31:39.400 --> 0:31:40.920 gonna play on a one year deal. This is just 0:31:41.000 --> 0:31:42.800 my b. I think he'll sit up here and hold 0:31:42.840 --> 0:31:44.880 on out. And if you might McCarthy, now you're sitting 0:31:44.880 --> 0:31:47.440 around here, Hey, hey, was my team looking like on 0:31:47.480 --> 0:31:49.920 a one year deal here? So this this financial thing 0:31:50.000 --> 0:31:54.080 gets gets really interesting here. And so that's that's the 0:31:54.200 --> 0:31:59.600 great part about the Cowboys. Would I bring Tyrone Smith back? Yes, 0:32:00.200 --> 0:32:03.040 on a one year deal, That's what I would do. 0:32:03.200 --> 0:32:05.120 But at the same time, as I looked at all 0:32:05.160 --> 0:32:07.240 this stuff, because to me, I'll at least get my 0:32:07.360 --> 0:32:09.520 left tackle here, I don't know if I'm bringing the 0:32:09.560 --> 0:32:12.800 center back, that's me. Would I bring the center back 0:32:12.920 --> 0:32:15.520 on a multi year deal versus going into the draft 0:32:15.800 --> 0:32:17.640 and getting because you have to at some point if 0:32:17.640 --> 0:32:20.200 you're trying to pay, if you're restructuring dock, you're paying 0:32:20.240 --> 0:32:22.360 CD Lane, you're looking forward to try to pay a 0:32:22.400 --> 0:32:27.320 Michael Parsons here. You got Diggy's here. I can't afford 0:32:27.360 --> 0:32:31.720 to put more money into the offensive line like that. 0:32:32.320 --> 0:32:34.000 I got some points, I got lets, some folks go. 0:32:35.000 --> 0:32:38.160 Some people ain't gonna be here because you simply cannot 0:32:38.160 --> 0:32:40.000 do it. You've got to go and get dudes in 0:32:40.000 --> 0:32:40.320 the drut. 0:32:40.440 --> 0:32:42.680 It was to me, Mashaw, what's the easier in y'all 0:32:42.720 --> 0:32:45.440 being the easier position to fill? Is it that tackle 0:32:45.440 --> 0:32:47.400 spot or is it one of those interior pieces like 0:32:47.400 --> 0:32:48.000 a center. 0:32:47.880 --> 0:32:48.360 Or a guard? 0:32:48.520 --> 0:32:50.440 Because we know, you know they're gonna bring Tying back 0:32:50.480 --> 0:32:51.959 in my p I mean we all understand. I think 0:32:51.960 --> 0:32:53.760 they're gonna bring him back on a one year deals, 0:32:53.880 --> 0:32:55.840 you know, whatever it is. But if he goes down, 0:32:55.840 --> 0:32:58.360 you can slide Tyler out there. But to the newest point, 0:32:58.600 --> 0:33:01.200 which one's easier to reply? Is it that guard or 0:33:01.200 --> 0:33:03.080 that center? Because we all sat up here and talked 0:33:03.080 --> 0:33:05.160 about Beyonni's. Yes, he didn't make the Pro Bowl, but 0:33:05.240 --> 0:33:07.200 there were times in there when I did interior pressure. 0:33:07.320 --> 0:33:08.720 It just didn't look like he had enough bricks in 0:33:08.760 --> 0:33:10.920 his pocket, Like he just didn't weigh enough out there. Now, 0:33:10.920 --> 0:33:12.560 I could be wrong, could be technique, whatever the case 0:33:12.600 --> 0:33:15.160 may be, But which one is easier to replace? You 0:33:15.200 --> 0:33:17.040 know that center, you got to have that glue piece, 0:33:17.440 --> 0:33:19.200 and then like you got Tyler Smith, who can be 0:33:19.240 --> 0:33:21.120 that two way player at tackle and guard. So I 0:33:21.160 --> 0:33:23.240 gotta go with newie owners when you're gonna have to 0:33:23.240 --> 0:33:25.760 bring in another center, whether it's free agency or draft, 0:33:25.760 --> 0:33:27.680 because we all understand Tyrant's coming back. 0:33:27.960 --> 0:33:31.400 That makes the decision more difficult if you're talking about 0:33:31.440 --> 0:33:35.200 replacing your center if you have because then you're replacing 0:33:35.240 --> 0:33:38.880 your center and your guard, and those two pieces together 0:33:39.160 --> 0:33:42.280 would be pretty much the middle of your offensive line. 0:33:42.360 --> 0:33:44.880 If you're gonna bring beyondish back, then I'm saying the 0:33:44.920 --> 0:33:47.880 thought process in my eyes is let's move Tyler smith 0:33:47.880 --> 0:33:49.800 because that's what I thought. That was what you were 0:33:49.800 --> 0:33:52.360 thinking the whole time, that he's your left tack How 0:33:52.520 --> 0:33:54.880 is awesome, Richards and Ball. I think the ship is 0:33:54.880 --> 0:33:57.479 sailed on Ball and maybe that hasn't Well, let's go 0:33:57.560 --> 0:34:00.120 guys like that. Whatever I'm saying, it's easier for me 0:34:00.120 --> 0:34:02.200 me in my eyes, to go into the draft and 0:34:02.240 --> 0:34:03.080 get get a guard. 0:34:03.160 --> 0:34:05.880 So let me just based on what you said prefaces 0:34:05.920 --> 0:34:08.719 this way, Let's say you take Tyler smithy move out 0:34:08.760 --> 0:34:13.640 to left tackle, and you draft a center who you 0:34:13.719 --> 0:34:16.799 believe is gonna be got more bricks in and can 0:34:17.080 --> 0:34:19.680 a guy that your your guards don't have to help 0:34:20.320 --> 0:34:22.319 you get a guy like that. You got, you got 0:34:22.600 --> 0:34:24.680 Hall of Famer Martin here on the right, and then 0:34:24.719 --> 0:34:27.759 you go fill in another you know, go figure out 0:34:27.760 --> 0:34:30.080 how you feel in that left guard spot. And if 0:34:30.120 --> 0:34:33.600 your center is strong enough, then maybe your left guard 0:34:34.280 --> 0:34:35.759 right right. I mean, you get You're not gonna get 0:34:35.760 --> 0:34:37.600 five All Stars, You're gonna get five Pro Bowls. There's 0:34:37.600 --> 0:34:39.320 gonna be a little bit of hey, we'll have to 0:34:39.320 --> 0:34:42.080 help this one guy there. But instead of having to dude, 0:34:42.120 --> 0:34:44.560 you gotta sit right here. I just think that what 0:34:44.600 --> 0:34:46.759 you did would be honest. You got we talked about 0:34:46.760 --> 0:34:49.399 all the time running backs, right, hey, man, draft them 0:34:49.480 --> 0:34:52.040 when they come on up, let them go. Why can't 0:34:52.040 --> 0:34:57.200 you do that with a center? I said, he he's 0:34:57.280 --> 0:35:00.680 a good center? Is he great? I call him? He's 0:35:00.680 --> 0:35:01.600 going to cost you money? 0:35:01.680 --> 0:35:01.839 Right? 0:35:02.520 --> 0:35:05.040 What have you seen from the other guys who they 0:35:05.040 --> 0:35:11.520 did not play at center? William right now, Connor mac governluck, 0:35:11.520 --> 0:35:14.439 they're putting him in center play. I mean, so it's 0:35:14.440 --> 0:35:17.280 shown you you can go find another guy to play 0:35:17.360 --> 0:35:18.080 at that. 0:35:18.680 --> 0:35:21.279 Now now now, so we're gonna bring it back to 0:35:21.120 --> 0:35:24.280 the realization here of like Tyrann Smith ain't going nowhere. 0:35:24.880 --> 0:35:27.279 The man said, he wants to play. We know how 0:35:27.360 --> 0:35:31.839 this organization is to where he loves Tyron Smith, and 0:35:31.880 --> 0:35:34.040 he got to see Tyrann Smith be as healthy as 0:35:34.040 --> 0:35:36.080 he seen him in the last four or five years. 0:35:36.719 --> 0:35:38.000 So for me to. 0:35:37.960 --> 0:35:40.560 Say after all this like I'm excited to see him 0:35:40.600 --> 0:35:43.080 be able to be healthy and he is still one 0:35:43.120 --> 0:35:45.080 of the time, it's hard for you to go find 0:35:45.080 --> 0:35:47.719 a guy that that good. I don't think Tylers Smith 0:35:47.800 --> 0:35:50.560 is gonna see left tackle for a couple of years. 0:35:50.600 --> 0:35:54.319 If ever. First of all, I'm shocked. I don't know 0:35:54.400 --> 0:35:56.839 where is that? Who is that? Where are you? Who 0:35:56.920 --> 0:36:00.680 is this guy? What is going on? Because this is what? 0:36:00.880 --> 0:36:03.839 Have I not? Wait? Have I not? Always said? God? 0:36:03.920 --> 0:36:05.960 It was like the fan day the man told his 0:36:06.040 --> 0:36:11.319 part off the boat? Did it? And what? And what? 0:36:11.440 --> 0:36:11.640 And what? 0:36:11.880 --> 0:36:15.279 Card than them? Do they say no more fandam no 0:36:15.400 --> 0:36:19.160 more fandam? So my issue was health. This is the 0:36:19.239 --> 0:36:21.480 healthiest I've seen the guy since they say he ain't 0:36:21.480 --> 0:36:24.440 gonna practice. So if he's healthy, I'm good. If he not, 0:36:24.560 --> 0:36:26.080 he's not, But he was this is he was healthy 0:36:26.160 --> 0:36:28.280 and some man as soon as he go down, all down. 0:36:29.480 --> 0:36:32.600 He missed the whole season after he snapped out and 0:36:32.920 --> 0:36:33.759 no contact. 0:36:33.920 --> 0:36:35.760 I mean what were talking about? We need nothing break. 0:36:37.200 --> 0:36:42.360 Break not that break a franchise tag? 0:36:42.400 --> 0:36:44.440 Should anybody get the franchise tag?

Here before that, 0:39:29.800 --> 0:39:33.520 they use it on Dalton Schultz. Neither player was as 0:39:33.640 --> 0:39:37.000 good on the franchise tag as they were the previous year, 0:39:37.520 --> 0:39:39.960 so I'll start with you. Danny would go around the table. 0:39:40.480 --> 0:39:42.759 Who would you use the franchise tag on this year? 0:39:43.080 --> 0:39:44.799 I want to say that Dalton Shows got hurt, so 0:39:45.000 --> 0:39:48.200 but he probably still Tony Pollard and Dalton Shows a 0:39:48.239 --> 0:39:49.560 little different franchise. 0:39:49.920 --> 0:39:53.480 So who the options we got CD? Wait? Wait, wait? 0:39:53.520 --> 0:39:53.600 No? 0:39:54.160 --> 0:39:55.840 Who do we have options for? Franchise? 0:39:56.239 --> 0:39:58.040 Erly, I wouldn't put it just I'll go first. I'm 0:39:58.040 --> 0:39:59.399 not putting on that franchise any. 0:39:59.600 --> 0:40:01.879 Who options though, so we got you can do Tony 0:40:01.920 --> 0:40:05.520 Poller again? Who else? I can't do that? 0:40:08.480 --> 0:40:10.680 I mean we knowing that now, I'm not franchising one 0:40:10.680 --> 0:40:17.160 of those. No, why wy you learned already with TP 0:40:17.440 --> 0:40:20.400 you learned that. Uh? And then how much is the 0:40:20.440 --> 0:40:21.200 center franchise? 0:40:21.640 --> 0:40:22.120 If you want to. 0:40:23.800 --> 0:40:27.880 Curse the cornerback, the cornerback tag would be high to 0:40:28.000 --> 0:40:33.560 And I'm not I'm not exercising that franchise tag this season. 0:40:33.600 --> 0:40:35.120 You don't, I mean, you don't have a reason to 0:40:35.120 --> 0:40:35.880 Tony Pollard. 0:40:36.160 --> 0:40:39.280 Tony Pollard got you last year because you were wondering 0:40:39.320 --> 0:40:41.280 how good he could be if he got more carries, 0:40:41.320 --> 0:40:43.520 because how explosive he was. And then he goes out 0:40:43.560 --> 0:40:45.319 with the injury, so that that is a different thing. 0:40:45.520 --> 0:40:48.879 I'm not franchise off with the tag on. I ain't 0:40:48.960 --> 0:40:54.040 tagging nobody, nobody who. No, I'm not definitely no, I'm 0:40:54.080 --> 0:40:55.960 not tagging anybody. And the thing is, if I use 0:40:56.040 --> 0:40:58.040 the tag, I use it as a placeholder to get 0:40:58.080 --> 0:40:58.600 a deal done. 0:40:58.680 --> 0:41:01.000 That's it, you know. But I'm not. I'm not tagging. 0:41:01.120 --> 0:41:03.040 I don't see a player that we have that we 0:41:03.320 --> 0:41:06.120 absolutely have to make this deal work for me. If 0:41:06.160 --> 0:41:08.359 I'm especially if I'm Tony Pollard, I'm trying to get 0:41:08.360 --> 0:41:10.840 in and negotiate early and often to get the best 0:41:10.840 --> 0:41:14.240 deal that I possibly can to stay on the Dallas Cowboys, 0:41:14.239 --> 0:41:16.360 because if he goes anywhere else, I don't think he's gonna. 0:41:16.120 --> 0:41:17.440 Get nowhere near. 0:41:17.640 --> 0:41:20.120 He's definitely won't get the same deal he got ten. 0:41:20.400 --> 0:41:24.040 They don't get ten again, so not anyone else. And 0:41:24.280 --> 0:41:25.840 I think, man, you gave me the willies when you 0:41:25.840 --> 0:41:29.320 said that about CD not playing on that one year deal. 0:41:29.120 --> 0:41:32.959 Because it's just I can that fifth year option. 0:41:33.320 --> 0:41:35.719 That would that would that would be so I mean no, 0:41:36.160 --> 0:41:37.839 I wouldn't say And if I use it again, if 0:41:37.840 --> 0:41:39.919 I use it on Tyler be Hottish, I would only 0:41:40.000 --> 0:41:42.160 use it as a placeholder for him. 0:41:42.440 --> 0:41:44.239 Yeah, yeah, I'm with y'all. 0:41:44.239 --> 0:41:46.920 There's nobody I would The closest person may be if 0:41:46.920 --> 0:41:48.319 they showed a little bit more in a rug game, 0:41:48.360 --> 0:41:53.440 maybe O'diggie Zua, But yeah, no, nobody even remotely. 0:41:53.040 --> 0:41:58.200 Close by the way, Tyron Smith, what's the tackle? Friends? 0:41:58.200 --> 0:42:08.920 Oh my god, wanted I'm just making sure that talk about. 0:42:11.480 --> 0:42:15.719 You already said. I'm not franchising anybody. You can go 0:42:15.760 --> 0:42:18.879 to work on these deals, but I just don't think 0:42:18.920 --> 0:42:21.920 if I'm the Cowboys, I would franchise anyone as much 0:42:21.960 --> 0:42:25.759 as hey figure out how do we More so, I'm 0:42:25.800 --> 0:42:29.799 looking at there might be some a name player got 0:42:29.880 --> 0:42:35.880 to cut. It should be a couple, okay, some folks the. 0:42:35.880 --> 0:42:40.239 Space got a lot of cats to be paid. 0:42:41.440 --> 0:42:41.600 You know. 0:42:41.840 --> 0:42:48.200 All over here, we appreciate you had a hell of 0:42:48.239 --> 0:42:51.600 a run. We got a hell of a run. We 0:42:51.680 --> 0:42:54.359 gotta let you go. And that's I just believe that. 0:42:54.560 --> 0:42:56.279 I do think that will be the case this here. 0:42:56.760 --> 0:43:00.239 I mean, because at some point in time, some people 0:43:00.280 --> 0:43:01.919 that you paid money to that you like, you're gonna 0:43:01.920 --> 0:43:03.319 have to look at him and say, hey, thank you, bud. 0:43:03.480 --> 0:43:03.960 We can't. 0:43:04.840 --> 0:43:07.440 Yeah, you still gotta I mean regardless of all that. 0:43:07.480 --> 0:43:09.520 And I think that I was going to ask you 0:43:09.560 --> 0:43:13.040 about the cap and how they've increased it. How much 0:43:13.320 --> 0:43:16.440 does that help this team, especially with the Dark Extension 0:43:16.760 --> 0:43:18.479 still looming, with all of this. 0:43:18.480 --> 0:43:20.879 Going on to France, trying to take everything else. Oh, 0:43:20.880 --> 0:43:21.400 it's going up. 0:43:21.440 --> 0:43:22.239 What we need that? 0:43:22.320 --> 0:43:25.040 I mean, look, Todd Francs, it's gonna cost you minimum 0:43:25.200 --> 0:43:28.600 minimum fifty two a year, that minimums. 0:43:28.200 --> 0:43:32.200 Fifty five sixty million dollars quarterback. Yeah, no, absolutely right, 0:43:32.280 --> 0:43:33.759 So so that's what that is. 0:43:33.800 --> 0:43:34.640 What's going to happen. 0:43:34.680 --> 0:43:37.360 It's gonna happen. That's what it's gonna be. 0:43:37.360 --> 0:43:39.719 They put them in the situation. So you had that 0:43:39.719 --> 0:43:42.080 other ist, why make a play on one year deal? Okay, fine, 0:43:42.400 --> 0:43:44.799 So when you're paying him fifty nine million dollars and 0:43:44.840 --> 0:43:47.480 you have no wiggle room to go do other things 0:43:47.600 --> 0:43:49.279 and you sell it, you said you're all in, then 0:43:49.320 --> 0:43:50.320 tell me what's gonna happen. 0:43:50.440 --> 0:43:51.279 Now, we can't do that. 0:43:51.360 --> 0:43:54.040 The guy, the guy was second team All Pro last. 0:43:53.920 --> 0:43:55.000 Yeah, well we can't do that. 0:43:55.040 --> 0:43:57.759 We can't procrastinate again, we can't kick the can down 0:43:57.760 --> 0:44:00.279 the road and hope that something happens. We have to 0:44:00.280 --> 0:44:03.520 get him resigned. We have to because there's so much 0:44:03.520 --> 0:44:05.520 money that we need to move around. If we're gonna 0:44:05.520 --> 0:44:07.600 be all in and bring in these players that we say. 0:44:07.640 --> 0:44:08.720 We say we're trying to get. 0:44:08.640 --> 0:44:11.480 So Burrows what fifty five a year? I believe I 0:44:11.480 --> 0:44:16.000 don't know, George, he's about fifty five. So that's that's 0:44:16.200 --> 0:44:18.560 that's where you're going. And and Dak Prescott is in 0:44:18.560 --> 0:44:20.680 his agent may say, hey, look, we were second team 0:44:20.760 --> 0:44:23.239 All Pro, we finished second in the MVP. I don't 0:44:23.239 --> 0:44:25.320 care what anybody else says. This is what happened in 0:44:25.360 --> 0:44:27.960 the first year. Mike McCarthy, what could happen in year two? 0:44:28.320 --> 0:44:30.439 That's what if I'm the agent, that's what I'm gonna 0:44:30.440 --> 0:44:33.040 put out there, and you're Jerry Jones and just go 0:44:33.120 --> 0:44:37.000 back to what the way he operates. Yeah, the man 0:44:37.120 --> 0:44:39.520 is not going to let a quarterback go who has 0:44:39.560 --> 0:44:42.040 got who's put together that kind of season. And he's 0:44:42.120 --> 0:44:45.799 consistently said Dak is the guy that can take us 0:44:45.800 --> 0:44:47.440 where we want to go. We will go as far 0:44:47.440 --> 0:44:49.880 as Dak Prescott goes. So to me, I'm of the 0:44:49.920 --> 0:44:52.239 opinion it's going to get done. Listen to him, it's 0:44:52.239 --> 0:44:56.000 going to get done. Go fix some of your offensive line, 0:44:56.760 --> 0:44:59.960 go help your running game, to help the player at quarterback. 0:45:00.760 --> 0:45:04.640 Man, you need a linebacker. You need to stuff too, Yeah, 0:45:04.680 --> 0:45:05.919 you need a lot man. 0:45:06.160 --> 0:45:08.279 You know you got looking need you lie man, it 0:45:08.360 --> 0:45:10.360 got stuff you made no better than me. Is Jimmy 0:45:10.400 --> 0:45:14.120 about to be a consultant up here? Jimmy Johnson, So 0:45:14.160 --> 0:45:15.719 I saw it on the website today, he said, He 0:45:15.800 --> 0:45:16.880 up and Jerry a little bit. 0:45:17.320 --> 0:45:18.960 Is that what you got called upstairs for a couple 0:45:19.000 --> 0:45:19.400 of weeks ago? 0:45:19.960 --> 0:45:25.560 He can't say, You can't say on the Yeah, it 0:45:25.640 --> 0:45:26.840 was no I went upstairs. 0:45:26.840 --> 0:45:29.239 It was it was for me, for anybody else. 0:45:29.320 --> 0:45:42.880 Okay, it came back down giving our shirts and uh. 0:45:37.880 --> 0:45:39.400 Okay, thankful. 0:45:39.440 --> 0:45:41.400 I'm thankful. I'm thankful to Jerry for that. But that 0:45:42.040 --> 0:45:44.520 was about a thirty five fifty thousand dollars conversation that 0:45:44.840 --> 0:45:45.239 gave me. 0:45:46.280 --> 0:45:51.080 Go here we go scruggs old scrugrug. 0:45:51.520 --> 0:45:54.520 Yes, yes, but it wasn't on the consulting board. It wasn't. 0:45:56.320 --> 0:45:58.480 You know. We never talked about the team. It it 0:45:58.520 --> 0:46:01.960 was about me. But I would hope, I would hope 0:46:02.200 --> 0:46:05.720 that Jerry Jones is listening to what Jimmy and Troy 0:46:05.719 --> 0:46:08.719 Aman and Emmitt Smith are saying right about now and 0:46:08.800 --> 0:46:13.200 even Michael it's because it's it's it's problematic. You're losing, 0:46:13.200 --> 0:46:17.279 You're going you're starting to lose the fans. And I'll 0:46:17.280 --> 0:46:18.880 say this again, I said it to you before. I 0:46:19.040 --> 0:46:22.680 just came back from Surprise Arizona Pictures and Catchers Texas 0:46:22.760 --> 0:46:25.680 Rangers World champions First off, it's amazing when you see 0:46:25.680 --> 0:46:28.760 all the signage about winning the championship and the trophy 0:46:28.800 --> 0:46:32.320 all that, Man, how would just changes things? But there's 0:46:32.480 --> 0:46:37.240 drastic differences. Drastic differences. You'll see nobody in the Rangers 0:46:37.239 --> 0:46:40.239 clubhouse talking like Michael Parns. You not see that at all. 0:46:40.560 --> 0:46:41.879 O winning cures all that. 0:46:42.200 --> 0:46:45.920 Well, well you don't have to talk, you go do. 0:46:46.480 --> 0:46:50.440 It's a total that. There's total different atmospheres, man, and 0:46:50.480 --> 0:46:52.800 there's a act. I can tell you their style and 0:46:52.880 --> 0:46:56.120 substance the end of the day. Substance is what people 0:46:56.120 --> 0:47:00.279 care about. Styles come and go. Styles don't win titles. 0:47:00.280 --> 0:47:03.960 Substances you could beat. You can have a lot of talent, 0:47:04.239 --> 0:47:06.880 but are you talented and are you willing to go 0:47:06.920 --> 0:47:08.719 out and do your job? The one thing about that 0:47:08.760 --> 0:47:11.080 team Boach, he kept talking about different guys. He said, 0:47:11.120 --> 0:47:13.719 you know what, he did whatever we wanted him to do. 0:47:13.800 --> 0:47:15.520 He didn't bitch about it. He did it. I had 0:47:15.560 --> 0:47:17.359 to do this. This was and you started to ask 0:47:17.440 --> 0:47:18.880 those guys, well, why did you take on that role? 0:47:19.040 --> 0:47:19.200 Man? 0:47:19.239 --> 0:47:20.839 I just want to win. I kept here it. I 0:47:21.000 --> 0:47:23.680 just want to win. I don't care what my role. 0:47:23.840 --> 0:47:26.719 I just want to help this team win. Yeah, and 0:47:26.760 --> 0:47:31.319 it's a whole different deal. And literally, if I were 0:47:32.200 --> 0:47:35.040 if I was consulting Jerry, I would say, tell some 0:47:35.160 --> 0:47:38.239 of your guys to go have coffee or go walk 0:47:38.280 --> 0:47:40.720 around the club back and see how those guys operate, 0:47:41.280 --> 0:47:43.680 because that is what you want to do. And I 0:47:43.719 --> 0:47:46.400 can say this because I'm old enough to know because 0:47:46.440 --> 0:47:50.040 I covered a Super Bowl team. Here, it's drastically different. 0:47:50.680 --> 0:47:51.560 Drastically different. 0:47:51.600 --> 0:47:53.440 Dude, do you have them to win another World Series 0:47:53.480 --> 0:47:54.440 this year? No? 0:47:54.880 --> 0:47:58.920 Okay, no pitchings. The starting pitching is an issue. But 0:47:59.520 --> 0:48:02.920 here's what you want. Get yourself to the playoffs and 0:48:02.920 --> 0:48:05.160 see where you go. And right now, you know where 0:48:05.160 --> 0:48:06.640 they're sitting at. They're going to probably have to make 0:48:06.680 --> 0:48:08.960 some more additions and they know that. But right now 0:48:09.000 --> 0:48:11.960 the pitch starting pitching is not there. But with the 0:48:12.000 --> 0:48:15.680 manager and the attitude they have. Heck, they should make 0:48:15.680 --> 0:48:19.439 the playoffs again. And in baseball, like all sports, right now, 0:48:19.680 --> 0:48:21.480 you get yourself in here, you get hot at the 0:48:21.560 --> 0:48:23.680 right time, you can make a run. I mean, we 0:48:23.719 --> 0:48:25.920 look at the Green Bay Packers. They got hot at 0:48:25.960 --> 0:48:28.480 the right time. They had a whole bunch of dudes 0:48:28.520 --> 0:48:31.520 on the same page about where to go, what to do. 0:48:32.400 --> 0:48:34.239 But you got a manager there in baseball, that's the 0:48:34.280 --> 0:48:36.080 thing matter. When you got a dude who can punch 0:48:36.120 --> 0:48:39.040 the right buttons and get people a due things. Hey man, 0:48:39.280 --> 0:48:41.840 not this barrier. This ain't necessarily what you do. But 0:48:41.920 --> 0:48:44.600 I need you to do that. And Barry says okay, 0:48:44.800 --> 0:48:46.640 and everybody else in the clubhouse look at you, Barry, 0:48:47.120 --> 0:48:49.319 you doing it. Yes, I'm doing it, and you go 0:48:49.400 --> 0:48:51.880 get it done. And nobody got to patch you on 0:48:51.920 --> 0:48:53.719 the back like, hey, Barry, thank you. No, this is 0:48:53.760 --> 0:48:57.360 what you this is what we expect you to do.
