And that can mean 0:00:44.640 --> 0:00:50.720 only one thing. Go it's time or your favorite program? Yes, 0:00:50.800 --> 0:00:54.560 I said program favorite program of the week, Hanging with 0:00:54.600 --> 0:00:58.800 the Boys. There's a live look at Tostitos Championship Plaza 0:00:59.640 --> 0:01:02.160 out front of Ford Center. At the start, it is 0:01:02.200 --> 0:01:05.880 a brisk forty three degrees. It feels like thirty eight degrees. 0:01:06.040 --> 0:01:07.720 High today is going to be forty one. The low 0:01:07.800 --> 0:01:10.399 tonight is gonna be thirty five. And that ain't the 0:01:10.400 --> 0:01:14.319 only thing that's cold, because my co hosts are cold too. 0:01:14.480 --> 0:01:18.039 Jesse Holly, Nate new Kurt Daniels, How you fellas do it? 0:01:18.040 --> 0:01:23.360 It's been a week. How's it going, y'all? I'm good 0:01:24.319 --> 0:01:26.720 A right, So I got to start the show off. 0:01:27.400 --> 0:01:30.000 I got both teams wrong that are going to the 0:01:30.000 --> 0:01:34.240 Super Bowl. I had Green Bay and Buffalo. Did anybody 0:01:34.240 --> 0:01:40.240 get it right? I don't know. I had packers in chiefs. 0:01:40.920 --> 0:01:42.560 I think the rest of us all had the packers 0:01:42.560 --> 0:01:44.399 in chief I think we all have packers in chiefs. 0:01:44.400 --> 0:01:50.720 Nobody had it. And then poor old Connor McGregor just 0:01:50.760 --> 0:01:53.720 got beat down this weekend. I mean, he got man 0:01:53.840 --> 0:01:58.600 handled by what happened on he kicked. What happened He 0:01:58.760 --> 0:02:03.000 kicked him in the calf and apparently wound up breaking 0:02:03.040 --> 0:02:05.480 his breaking his leg. But he kicked. There's a there's 0:02:05.520 --> 0:02:08.960 a nerve in your calf that's really close to the 0:02:09.000 --> 0:02:13.080 surface of your skin, and he his game plan was 0:02:13.120 --> 0:02:15.919 to attack his legs. He kicked him in the calf. 0:02:16.000 --> 0:02:18.800 He he didn't start checking his kicks until it was 0:02:18.840 --> 0:02:20.919 too late, and that nerve acted up on him and 0:02:20.960 --> 0:02:23.000 basically his leg was dead by the second round and 0:02:23.040 --> 0:02:25.560 he got knocked out because he couldn't couldn't put weight 0:02:25.639 --> 0:02:27.799 on his legs. But it was it was a good 0:02:27.800 --> 0:02:30.280 fight card. It was a good fight card. But he man, 0:02:30.360 --> 0:02:33.760 he's like and he like, he's like four and four 0:02:33.840 --> 0:02:36.480 or something. Now, I mean, is this so the end 0:02:36.480 --> 0:02:39.720 of couldn't I mean, he looked really good at the 0:02:39.720 --> 0:02:42.079 beginning of the fight until his legs got taken out 0:02:42.200 --> 0:02:47.480 out from under him, and then he did not his 0:02:47.600 --> 0:02:56.520 legs out, you know what, out quick quickly. He's one 0:02:56.560 --> 0:02:59.359 of those guys though love him or hate him, and 0:02:59.520 --> 0:03:03.800 he's like Tiger Woods. The game is better when he's 0:03:04.080 --> 0:03:06.080 in it. So I hope, I hope he gets it 0:03:06.120 --> 0:03:08.320 back on track because it's the sport is so much 0:03:08.480 --> 0:03:10.880 more fun to watch when he's in it. But enough 0:03:10.919 --> 0:03:13.680 of that Mma stuff. We got football to talk about. 0:03:13.760 --> 0:03:18.440 Man so much better as Nate. You look cozy, you know, 0:03:18.520 --> 0:03:23.119 I just I You know, I've been to North Carolina, 0:03:23.240 --> 0:03:27.079 South Carolina. I've been to uh Florida twice. I've been 0:03:27.200 --> 0:03:31.320 on Tennessee. My wife got mad, you know, at me 0:03:31.400 --> 0:03:34.480 the other day so much. You really was secere about 0:03:34.520 --> 0:03:36.840 how you was gonna travel. So now me and herd 0:03:36.840 --> 0:03:39.360 an impass right now. I need a mediator because I'm 0:03:39.600 --> 0:03:44.040 to take off mix. I need a mediator because I'm gone. 0:03:44.320 --> 0:03:55.160 Where are you going next week? Who cares? Who? Oh? Jesse, Jesse, 0:03:55.240 --> 0:03:58.480 what have you been up to this last week? I've 0:03:58.480 --> 0:04:01.480 been working like a dog man. Yeah, I got all 0:04:01.520 --> 0:04:05.440 these basketb wearing like in the heart of the basketball season. 0:04:05.520 --> 0:04:09.200 So I got middle school, elementary, high school, college games 0:04:09.200 --> 0:04:13.360 all happening, all my campuses and scheduling buses. I can't 0:04:14.160 --> 0:04:16.240 we can't find th bus drivers, and so I have 0:04:16.320 --> 0:04:19.880 to rent fifteenth passenger vans, which there aren't for some reason, 0:04:19.920 --> 0:04:23.760 there aren't any fifteen passenger vans in Dallas Fort Worth 0:04:23.760 --> 0:04:27.080 because the National Guard has them all. Uh so, yeah, 0:04:27.160 --> 0:04:29.320 so that's been my life from the last week. I've 0:04:29.320 --> 0:04:34.559 just been at the varsity team Territor though. Okay, okay, 0:04:35.920 --> 0:04:38.840 as your basketball players, have the legs been going out 0:04:38.839 --> 0:04:44.679 in the first quarter? They actually they have. Hey, Jesse, 0:04:44.800 --> 0:04:47.240 they really You got a guy on this show that 0:04:47.240 --> 0:04:50.000 that loves to drive. I mean, Nate, you should get 0:04:50.000 --> 0:04:52.560 your CDL and start aside hust There you go. But 0:04:54.160 --> 0:04:56.080 if you promised me they're gonna least go one thousand 0:04:56.200 --> 0:04:58.960 miles from the end. We gotta go. We gotta go 0:04:59.000 --> 0:05:04.599 to wait tomorrow. So hey, that that's the minimum driving it. 0:05:05.080 --> 0:05:09.000 I'll drive like six hundred miles one day, six hundred 0:05:09.040 --> 0:05:11.440 miles and next day didn't turn around and come straight back. 0:05:11.520 --> 0:05:14.400 Don't stop at is unbelievable, unbelievable, Kurt, what have you 0:05:14.400 --> 0:05:18.080 been up to the last week. Oh, nothing too exciting. 0:05:18.200 --> 0:05:23.560 No no basketball or traveling, just working on hanging out. 0:05:23.600 --> 0:05:27.040 The country is so much big, I just had to visualize. 0:05:27.080 --> 0:05:30.200 You guys, there's Kirt in this corner. There's just in 0:05:30.279 --> 0:05:34.840 this corner. Is pretty hair in this corner? Pretty hair. 0:05:34.960 --> 0:05:39.040 I went from the beard, the beard, and the big 0:05:39.040 --> 0:05:41.280 head to the pretty hair. I'll take it. I'll take 0:05:41.320 --> 0:05:44.040 it all right. You know what is going on this week? 0:05:44.600 --> 0:05:48.000 Senior Bowl is scheduled. That Senior Bowl is going on 0:05:48.040 --> 0:05:50.840 this week and the game is this weekend. How big 0:05:50.880 --> 0:05:53.440 of a deal is it that teams are going to 0:05:53.520 --> 0:05:56.000 be limited in their ability to talk to the players 0:05:56.120 --> 0:05:59.279 and see them both during the Senior Bowl throughout the 0:05:59.320 --> 0:06:04.400 off season, no scouting combine, no visits, and more limited contact. 0:06:04.800 --> 0:06:06.520 Is that a big deal for the Senior Bowl? I 0:06:06.560 --> 0:06:09.840 know it's going to be a big deal for the combine, interviews, 0:06:09.960 --> 0:06:13.080 things like that. Is the Senior Bowl really that big 0:06:13.120 --> 0:06:16.400 of a deal, Nate, you've been Is that gonna hinder 0:06:16.440 --> 0:06:20.120 a team as it is? Yes, it is, especially for 0:06:20.160 --> 0:06:23.120 the teams that didn't have such good records, you know, 0:06:23.200 --> 0:06:26.120 and there they have that possibility of seeing these players 0:06:26.160 --> 0:06:29.640 up close. I know a team that I'm really familiar 0:06:29.640 --> 0:06:31.320 with that didn't have a good But I don't even 0:06:31.360 --> 0:06:33.359 think they did it the same way this year. I 0:06:33.360 --> 0:06:35.719 gotta ask Chris Bean because normally the teams that don't 0:06:35.760 --> 0:06:39.360 have the better records gets these guys. I don't know, 0:06:39.560 --> 0:06:41.240 since I'm not a part of it, I kind of 0:06:41.279 --> 0:06:43.719 backed up off of. But these players are a lot 0:06:43.760 --> 0:06:46.040 of great players go to the Senior Bowl. I used 0:06:46.040 --> 0:06:49.320 to kind of downplay the Senior Bowl eight nineteen years ago, 0:06:49.360 --> 0:06:52.479 but when I started going and seeing guys, seeing guys 0:06:52.520 --> 0:06:55.200 that went to the Senior Bowl and have made their name, 0:06:55.320 --> 0:06:58.440 now you know, you know battles that have been there, 0:06:58.440 --> 0:07:02.840 Guys that went from third fourth round picks unto the 0:07:02.920 --> 0:07:06.640 Lord's first in high second round. This thing is big, 0:07:06.680 --> 0:07:09.880 and now it's going to test I think the ability 0:07:09.960 --> 0:07:14.120 for scouts to really trust their film in their eyes 0:07:14.160 --> 0:07:18.239 on that film, can and can they pick these players 0:07:18.240 --> 0:07:21.720 out for their teams. And we won't know, like anything 0:07:21.760 --> 0:07:24.240 else into a couple of years from now. But the 0:07:24.680 --> 0:07:27.200 teams that know who they want, know who they are, 0:07:27.440 --> 0:07:30.440 not detact players they want, you know, and they don't. 0:07:30.480 --> 0:07:32.640 They're not confused about who they are and what they're 0:07:32.640 --> 0:07:35.840 trying to be in their identity offensive defense. These are 0:07:35.880 --> 0:07:39.520 the guys that were prosper I think that's that's kind 0:07:39.560 --> 0:07:41.600 of my question. It sounds like each team can send 0:07:41.640 --> 0:07:45.440 up to ten ten scouts or personnel, so hopefully they'll 0:07:45.480 --> 0:07:48.240 be you know, guys like Will McClay and his crew 0:07:48.240 --> 0:07:50.480 will be there. Maybe not the head coaches and maybe 0:07:50.520 --> 0:07:52.360 not some of these systems that sort of thing. But 0:07:53.160 --> 0:07:55.680 does it with the way the video works now, does 0:07:55.720 --> 0:07:58.280 it make that bigger difference? I mean, what's the advantages? 0:07:58.320 --> 0:08:01.800 I guess the advantage is send you said it, Kurt, 0:08:01.880 --> 0:08:07.080 Send the right guys, Send the scouts, Let the coaches, 0:08:07.640 --> 0:08:13.000 let especially new defensive coordinator and past coordinator. Let these 0:08:13.040 --> 0:08:15.920 guys have a large say in what we're trying to 0:08:15.960 --> 0:08:18.400 do here. Let them try to get over to Will 0:08:18.480 --> 0:08:22.760 McClay and his guys what we're looking for, and let 0:08:22.800 --> 0:08:25.080 them go out and try to find these guys. Because 0:08:26.600 --> 0:08:29.600 with your picks this year, be an offensively a defensively, 0:08:29.920 --> 0:08:34.160 you got to impact this team. And so I think 0:08:34.440 --> 0:08:37.280 I think this is a good bad thing, bad thing 0:08:37.360 --> 0:08:40.960 that you can't have a full a ray of people there, 0:08:41.400 --> 0:08:43.560 but a good thing and just letting the scouts go. 0:08:43.679 --> 0:08:46.640 So when we sit in the war room on draft day, 0:08:46.800 --> 0:08:50.480 we can say, hey, will such and such assistance to this? 0:08:50.720 --> 0:08:54.000 What do you think? Not what do the coach think? 0:08:54.040 --> 0:08:56.640 Because the last few years what the coaches thought has 0:08:56.720 --> 0:09:00.559 not been good. How do you Jessee this? You can 0:09:00.600 --> 0:09:03.200 speak to this because you've you've been on tryouts before 0:09:03.320 --> 0:09:06.600 and obviously there's value to it. Or teams wouldn't bring 0:09:06.640 --> 0:09:08.840 guys in to try them out. They would do all 0:09:08.840 --> 0:09:10.920 this stuff virtually. They would time them, get them to 0:09:11.000 --> 0:09:14.800 run drills, do it through video. How much value is 0:09:14.840 --> 0:09:19.000 there to seeing a guy in person? What are you 0:09:19.080 --> 0:09:21.599 looking at in person when you see them? And and 0:09:22.040 --> 0:09:23.640 Nate you can speak to that because you've been to 0:09:23.679 --> 0:09:26.000 the Senior Bowl. You can give your thoughts on you 0:09:26.040 --> 0:09:27.720 know what the value is to seeing a guy alive? 0:09:27.760 --> 0:09:30.320 But Jesse from a workout standpoint, yeah, I've been in 0:09:30.320 --> 0:09:33.440 that situation as a player too. Yeah, yeah, absolutely on 0:09:33.480 --> 0:09:38.480 that stage. What's what's the advantage to that? It's well, one, 0:09:38.520 --> 0:09:39.920 when you have a workout, you know a lot of 0:09:39.960 --> 0:09:42.200 these guys, you know your smaller amount of numbers, you 0:09:42.200 --> 0:09:46.400 can really get detailed. You can really find out who 0:09:46.400 --> 0:09:49.760 the person is That's why those conversations are so critical. 0:09:50.840 --> 0:09:53.400 You can really see who a person is by talking 0:09:53.400 --> 0:09:57.440 to them and having those conversations, being able to put 0:09:57.600 --> 0:09:59.800 players through the kind of workouts that you want to 0:09:59.800 --> 0:10:02.840 see because every coach and every scout is looking for 0:10:03.000 --> 0:10:07.120 a particular type of player or players and the difference 0:10:07.160 --> 0:10:10.760 between you know, seeing them at a combine or at 0:10:10.760 --> 0:10:15.040 a senior bowl compared to having him in the building. 0:10:15.600 --> 0:10:18.319 I get to put my hands on them, I get 0:10:18.320 --> 0:10:20.040 to put them with the drift that I want them 0:10:20.040 --> 0:10:22.240 to see because I have a plan in my head 0:10:22.720 --> 0:10:25.199 for where they're going to fit at in our grand 0:10:25.240 --> 0:10:27.760 scheme of things. So it's just being able to have 0:10:27.880 --> 0:10:31.719 that close encounter. The conversations you put them, you get 0:10:32.000 --> 0:10:35.040 sometimes you get put to the fire just to see 0:10:35.040 --> 0:10:37.640 how you're going to react. Like you're like, they want 0:10:37.640 --> 0:10:39.640 to see how is this guy going to react in 0:10:39.640 --> 0:10:43.800 this condensed time frame. But we're gonna put him to 0:10:43.920 --> 0:10:46.720 the fire if if he gives us the look that 0:10:46.800 --> 0:10:49.880 we want, the response that we want, then you know 0:10:50.080 --> 0:10:53.360 it really is It really pays dividends when you're trying 0:10:53.360 --> 0:10:56.120 to pick between player A, player B, and player C. 0:10:57.160 --> 0:10:59.719 That's gonna be the biggest thing missing then is not 0:10:59.760 --> 0:11:04.199 necess sarahly a Senior Bowl combine whatever, but those private visits. Yeah. 0:11:04.280 --> 0:11:06.640 And then another thing and I don't know how much 0:11:06.640 --> 0:11:08.600 they can get into it on a private visit. More 0:11:08.679 --> 0:11:10.760 is what they do in the Senior Bowl and how 0:11:10.800 --> 0:11:16.800 they does at the thing Indiapolis is their trainers get 0:11:16.840 --> 0:11:19.520 a chance to put their medals. They get to look 0:11:19.520 --> 0:11:23.400 at your medicals. And that is the scary thing because 0:11:24.000 --> 0:11:26.480 every year we hear we didn't know this guy had 0:11:26.559 --> 0:11:28.360 this right here. We didn't know this guy had this 0:11:28.440 --> 0:11:30.839 right here. Wow, we x raate this and we got 0:11:30.880 --> 0:11:33.320 we talked it says such, wow, this thing is bigger 0:11:33.320 --> 0:11:36.719 than we thought. Are smaller than we thought. Uh. This 0:11:36.800 --> 0:11:38.880 is where a lot of players, believe it or not, 0:11:39.000 --> 0:11:42.199 get their first red flag where they where there's it's 0:11:42.200 --> 0:11:44.319 a flag step by their name, like we ain't touching 0:11:44.360 --> 0:11:46.840 this guy in the story, and a lot of guys 0:11:46.840 --> 0:11:49.440 get a chance said okay, well we're gonna touch this guy. 0:11:49.640 --> 0:11:52.800 And this flag makes semi stay there come off. So 0:11:53.000 --> 0:11:55.120 that is I think that's the biggest thing. What is 0:11:55.640 --> 0:11:58.280 so when mister Jones or Will said, hey man, what 0:11:58.400 --> 0:12:00.560 about this need we heard about it in colle He said, man, 0:12:00.600 --> 0:12:03.240 that's bone on bone. If you signed this guy better 0:12:03.280 --> 0:12:06.600 be late and we better get a wave on this kid. 0:12:07.120 --> 0:12:11.200 You know you're making the visions decisions like that. Also, Yeah, 0:12:11.240 --> 0:12:15.040 with obviously the Cowboys have to improve this defense, are 0:12:15.080 --> 0:12:18.080 they Are they add any kind of disadvantage because Dan 0:12:18.160 --> 0:12:23.160 Quinn is joining the party late here. It just depends 0:12:23.200 --> 0:12:25.800 on where they're gonna go with it. I mean, are 0:12:25.800 --> 0:12:28.439 you gonna for the first time in a long time, 0:12:28.880 --> 0:12:33.960 get into some quality, quality veterans in the free agent market? 0:12:33.960 --> 0:12:37.000 Are you going to lie solely on the draft, which 0:12:37.400 --> 0:12:40.280 you won't be really where you're drafting that you can 0:12:40.360 --> 0:12:43.000 get a good player for that value, But how do 0:12:43.040 --> 0:12:46.800 you handle the second and third round? More importantly, what 0:12:47.080 --> 0:12:50.920 coach Quinn got to figure out quickly is how good 0:12:51.040 --> 0:12:53.840 is Neville? How good he think Neville is, How good 0:12:54.080 --> 0:12:56.840 it is Tristan Hill coming off the injury? Is antoine 0:12:56.880 --> 0:12:59.880 Wood that thirty play are less or more? And once 0:13:00.080 --> 0:13:02.000 he figured that out, and once he get a good 0:13:02.000 --> 0:13:04.839 look at film with these guys, now he can really 0:13:05.200 --> 0:13:07.199 put his hands on his team for us. How he 0:13:07.280 --> 0:13:10.920 want to do his uh, his his d line and linebackers. 0:13:11.960 --> 0:13:15.120 So at this point, are the scouts just looking at 0:13:15.160 --> 0:13:17.320 everybody and then they'll narrow it down to what dan 0:13:17.440 --> 0:13:21.360 Quinn wants later or they already you know, they have 0:13:21.400 --> 0:13:24.160 a game plan. They have a section of guys, like 0:13:24.280 --> 0:13:26.640 two guys will be on running backs, two guys will 0:13:26.679 --> 0:13:29.560 be on defensive backs. One guy may be on on 0:13:29.679 --> 0:13:32.840 tight ends, two guys may be on linebackers. You know, 0:13:33.160 --> 0:13:36.079 but it's gonna be somebody at that Chris will tell 0:13:36.120 --> 0:13:39.360 you it's gonna be somebody on the defensive offensive line, 0:13:39.760 --> 0:13:42.320 a skilled position. They're gonna pop out at you. Who 0:13:42.400 --> 0:13:46.920 who you'd even think they're gonna boom like Navel Gallimore 0:13:47.240 --> 0:13:49.800 And I'm maybe messing his kid's name, but I'm sorry. 0:13:49.840 --> 0:13:54.640 He hasn't deserve a nickname good or bad yet They 0:13:55.320 --> 0:14:00.920 the belly button. Yeah, but see I just yes, sir, 0:14:01.040 --> 0:14:05.839 thank you, Shannon, And I remember that, uh the navel. Okay. Anyway, 0:14:06.240 --> 0:14:08.800 when you when you looking at this team, man, when 0:14:08.800 --> 0:14:12.679 you're looking at this team, you know it has only 0:14:12.720 --> 0:14:18.199 one issue. So but I think, yes, sir, it's a 0:14:18.200 --> 0:14:23.400 defensive issue they have. It's a defensive issue with eleven 0:14:23.600 --> 0:14:28.920 one issue with eleven parts, Yes, sir, Yes, sir, Like 0:14:29.000 --> 0:14:31.440 you got a bad hand. It's some digits on that 0:14:31.560 --> 0:14:37.400 hand that's bested up. You know what, Jesse to talk, 0:14:38.720 --> 0:14:42.960 you were fine. You know what I was talking about. 0:14:43.120 --> 0:14:45.040 There was all off when you just said what we like, 0:14:45.080 --> 0:14:49.440 wait but one pide of the ball now continue, but 0:14:49.560 --> 0:14:50.920 you do it. You just had a school were like, 0:14:50.920 --> 0:14:54.960 wait a second. The thing is you go there with 0:14:55.080 --> 0:14:57.680 a game plan. They have a game plan, they know 0:14:57.720 --> 0:15:01.040 what the issue is and so, but you can't allocate 0:15:01.080 --> 0:15:05.360 all of that because it may be a great offensive 0:15:05.400 --> 0:15:08.040 player to see. You know, I'm gonna continue to preach 0:15:08.120 --> 0:15:10.440 defense because I know that get helps you get to 0:15:10.480 --> 0:15:13.800 the super Bowl. But it may be some offensive players 0:15:13.840 --> 0:15:17.240 that just as the first round pick that may just 0:15:17.520 --> 0:15:22.200 dominate this situation that they feel. You know, I'm not 0:15:22.200 --> 0:15:25.040 gonna feel that this year, but they may feel like, 0:15:25.320 --> 0:15:29.239 my wow, poor this this dude failed from from from 0:15:29.280 --> 0:15:32.200 from number five all the way to us. We say 0:15:32.280 --> 0:15:34.680 it couldn't happen, but we had to receive a fall 0:15:34.800 --> 0:15:37.360 from like eight to nine all the way to you 0:15:37.400 --> 0:15:39.880 know to us last year. So I'm not saying what 0:15:40.000 --> 0:15:43.880 can happen, but we know at the end of the day, 0:15:43.120 --> 0:15:46.240 and and and coach No at the end of the day, 0:15:46.520 --> 0:15:49.320 he has to have an impact on his defense to 0:15:49.520 --> 0:15:52.360 least slow down the run. All right, I'm gonna do something. 0:15:52.840 --> 0:15:56.720 I'm gonna go to break really early because the next segment. Yes, sir, 0:15:57.240 --> 0:15:59.800 I have a feeling that Jesse's gonna talk a lot 0:16:00.200 --> 0:16:04.760 this next segment because something I want to bring up. Okay, 0:16:05.200 --> 0:16:08.200 and thank you Kurt for this idea, because this is really, 0:16:08.320 --> 0:16:12.720 when you think about it, this we need to talk 0:16:12.760 --> 0:16:16.960 about this. Adam Schefter feels like there could be more 0:16:17.040 --> 0:16:21.880 than eighteen teams with new quarterbacks next season, and there 0:16:21.880 --> 0:16:27.000 are some big names on this list. We don't we 0:16:27.080 --> 0:16:30.920 have a we have a quarterback. We have a quarterback 0:16:31.120 --> 0:16:34.120 position that needs to be filled on this team that 0:16:34.280 --> 0:16:37.360 currently is filled by Dak Prescott that you haven't been 0:16:37.400 --> 0:16:40.280 able to get a deal done. And I think some 0:16:40.360 --> 0:16:42.840 people are starting to question, are you gonna get a 0:16:42.880 --> 0:16:48.160 deal done if you're franchising again. I think we all 0:16:48.240 --> 0:16:51.720 feel like that's his last year here, right, So if 0:16:51.760 --> 0:16:55.840 you're renting a guy for one year, would you go 0:16:55.920 --> 0:16:57.760 after some of these big names. Let's get into some 0:16:57.760 --> 0:16:59.640 of these big names. Let's talk about this. I have 0:16:59.680 --> 0:17:03.040 a feel it's going to be a long conversation. We're 0:17:03.080 --> 0:17:05.440 gonna go to break early when we come back. By 0:17:05.440 --> 0:17:08.840 the way, Chris Beam, let me know, the Dolphins and 0:17:08.880 --> 0:17:11.920 the Panthers coaching staffs are at the Senior Bowl. All 0:17:11.960 --> 0:17:14.399 the other teams are just able to send their scouts, 0:17:14.440 --> 0:17:17.840 so it's Cowboys scouting staff there. So when we come back, 0:17:17.920 --> 0:17:21.720 let's talk about quarterbacks around the league, talk on hanging 0:17:21.760 --> 0:17:26.240 with the boys. Is your family a Cowboys family?

All right, fellas, Adam Schefter, Thanks. 0:19:57.280 --> 0:20:02.240 They're going to be about eighteen quarterbacks with new teams. 0:20:02.280 --> 0:20:04.080 I'm gonna read off some of the names that could 0:20:04.080 --> 0:20:12.399 possibly be available or will be available. Watson, Stafford, Newton, Dalton, Rogers, Darnold, Wentz, 0:20:12.600 --> 0:20:18.600 golf Garoppolo Dalton. So the question is if you can't 0:20:18.680 --> 0:20:25.680 get Dak signed by the March ninth franchise deadline, and 0:20:26.240 --> 0:20:28.760 it looks like you're gonna have to franchise him again, 0:20:29.800 --> 0:20:33.600 which we all agree that if that happens, he's gone 0:20:33.640 --> 0:20:36.960 after that year anyway, So you basically have a quarterback 0:20:37.000 --> 0:20:39.919 on a one year deal if you can't get the 0:20:39.960 --> 0:20:42.640 deal done for whatever reason, because you know, I think 0:20:42.640 --> 0:20:44.320 we all think you got it. You need to get 0:20:44.320 --> 0:20:45.960 the deal done. But if they can't figure it out, 0:20:46.040 --> 0:20:48.960 can't get the deal done, do you just do you 0:20:49.680 --> 0:20:52.520 go after one of these other hired guns for a 0:20:52.600 --> 0:20:55.520 short term contract and push all in and try to 0:20:55.520 --> 0:20:58.639 get it done now, or do you start building for 0:20:58.680 --> 0:21:01.720 the future. I'm really of having this conversation, like I 0:21:02.040 --> 0:21:04.159 really wish you would just sign the guy. And I 0:21:04.200 --> 0:21:06.639 know y'all are tired about talking about it too, but 0:21:06.800 --> 0:21:10.080 we you have to talk about it, right because the 0:21:10.119 --> 0:21:12.719 deal's not done, so it's it's still out there, so 0:21:12.800 --> 0:21:16.720 we have to talk about it. So let's just say 0:21:16.800 --> 0:21:23.560 hypothetically that happens. What would you guys? Do you know? 0:21:23.680 --> 0:21:27.320 I'm I'm leaning more and more that if they don't 0:21:27.320 --> 0:21:31.240 have him signed by March ninth, they go a different directions. 0:21:31.280 --> 0:21:34.439 Just you've had you've had two years, who you've been 0:21:34.480 --> 0:21:36.840 talking to, Kurt, who you've been talking to in the organization, 0:21:36.920 --> 0:21:39.439 they just go you know, I don't know, just stuff 0:21:39.480 --> 0:21:41.960 I'm reading, and it's just it can't seem to get 0:21:41.960 --> 0:21:44.360 it done that. You know, Cowboys seem to want five 0:21:44.480 --> 0:21:48.000 year deal. Dak Prescott once more of a four year deal. 0:21:48.320 --> 0:21:51.000 All the all the most recent deals done other than 0:21:51.080 --> 0:21:53.320 Mahomes which is ten years, but all the more four right, 0:21:53.359 --> 0:21:56.480 You're all four year deals. So yeah, so the Cowboys 0:21:56.480 --> 0:21:59.800 are for some reason stuck on this five year thing, 0:22:00.000 --> 0:22:02.320 which I'm not sure in this day and age makes 0:22:02.320 --> 0:22:04.840 sense anymore. So, you know, if they can't reach agreement 0:22:04.880 --> 0:22:06.840 here in the next two or three months after having 0:22:06.840 --> 0:22:09.959 to deal with this for the last two years, I mean, 0:22:10.000 --> 0:22:14.600 what are you gonna Why? Why continue? I mean, there's 0:22:14.640 --> 0:22:17.520 no way they can sign him. They can franchise. Yeah, 0:22:17.600 --> 0:22:19.480 like you said, if they have to play on another franchise, 0:22:19.520 --> 0:22:21.480 they'll never bring him back. It'd be like fifty four 0:22:21.520 --> 0:22:25.280 million dollar deal or something like your annally, which is ridiculous. 0:22:26.400 --> 0:22:28.520 I just don't know at this point now, I don't 0:22:28.520 --> 0:22:31.320 know for sure how they go about replacing him. You know, 0:22:31.359 --> 0:22:34.240 do they have the assets to make some trades and 0:22:34.320 --> 0:22:37.440 get somebody like a Stafford or even a Watson that 0:22:37.600 --> 0:22:40.240 I'm not so sure about. But man, it's just just 0:22:41.160 --> 0:22:43.800 I just I just don't see it happening if it 0:22:43.800 --> 0:22:45.880 doesn't happen by March nine. Let me let me ask 0:22:45.880 --> 0:22:50.520 it this way, Jesse. Would it on a level from 0:22:50.560 --> 0:22:58.639 one to ten? One being super surprised, ten being not 0:22:58.880 --> 0:23:03.720 surprised at all. How surprised would you be if just 0:23:03.840 --> 0:23:08.320 out of the blue, once you know, free agency opens up, 0:23:08.400 --> 0:23:12.200 that they just sign a guy out of the blue 0:23:13.040 --> 0:23:25.040
