Heck 0:00:44.960 --> 0:00:48.120 Harrison is here. Trey Moore for Dallas Cowboy is here. 0:00:48.159 --> 0:00:49.960 I am new he Scruggs. The show is brought to 0:00:49.960 --> 0:00:52.880 you by Aristocrat Gaming. Free agency is going on here 0:00:52.960 --> 0:00:55.760 and the Cowboys have been very active. So I'll start 0:00:55.760 --> 0:00:56.000 with you. 0:00:56.000 --> 0:00:56.160 HEC. 0:00:56.280 --> 0:00:59.160 Harrison. Are you happy with what you've seen so far? Early? 0:00:59.240 --> 0:00:59.560 I'm not. 0:01:00.480 --> 0:01:02.920 I'm not, and I think that we were going to 0:01:02.960 --> 0:01:04.560 make some moves. I felt like we were. 0:01:05.200 --> 0:01:06.760 I was new. 0:01:06.880 --> 0:01:09.920 Y'all was looking for like the rest of the Cowboy Nation, 0:01:10.160 --> 0:01:14.520 I'm looking for game changers, and I didn't. The selective 0:01:14.520 --> 0:01:15.840 aggressiveness is that the word? 0:01:15.880 --> 0:01:17.880 Is it? Selective? Okay? Selective? 0:01:17.920 --> 0:01:21.760 Aggressive and trying to decipher what that actually meant. I 0:01:21.760 --> 0:01:24.240 think I'm getting the definition. We're going to bring in 0:01:24.280 --> 0:01:26.720 guys that are going to be rotational pieces here early, 0:01:26.840 --> 0:01:29.760 and it's early. I understand that you still got a 0:01:29.760 --> 0:01:32.560 long way to go, right, but I'm still looking at 0:01:32.560 --> 0:01:35.240 this team and saying, Okay, based off of your overall needs, 0:01:35.640 --> 0:01:38.160 you haven't hit the free agent market strong enough to 0:01:38.240 --> 0:01:41.160 get those guys that I believe, Okay, as a defensive lineman, 0:01:41.200 --> 0:01:43.560 the offensive guard, or these guys are going to be 0:01:43.600 --> 0:01:45.600 difference makers for this team. They're going to be the 0:01:45.600 --> 0:01:47.720 cog in the wheel that's actually going to get you 0:01:48.040 --> 0:01:50.480 to that next level. And that's what we've been looking for. 0:01:50.520 --> 0:01:52.960 That's what we've been asking for at least so no 0:01:53.240 --> 0:01:55.080 so far. I think if I was going to grade 0:01:55.160 --> 0:01:57.440 where we are right now, I would go see minus 0:01:58.000 --> 0:02:00.919 Trey Man man he came in hot. 0:02:02.000 --> 0:02:05.800 Honestly I would probably I wouldn't be as crucial. I 0:02:05.840 --> 0:02:09.680 would say it's about maybe a C plus B right now. 0:02:10.600 --> 0:02:13.079 For me, being a journeyman, it hits it hits home 0:02:13.120 --> 0:02:16.040 for me when you you're coming in and people are saying, oh, 0:02:16.200 --> 0:02:18.799 that wasn't the big name guy like some of these 0:02:18.800 --> 0:02:21.480 guys that you bringing in are pretty their quality pieces. 0:02:21.480 --> 0:02:23.760 They've shown at different times that they can make plays. 0:02:24.600 --> 0:02:26.919 You know, you got Solomon Thomas coming in. I'm biased, 0:02:26.960 --> 0:02:29.519 you know I played with him, hard working guy, coming home, 0:02:29.560 --> 0:02:31.120 playing for the hometown, being of. 0:02:31.520 --> 0:02:33.600 A Cockpel cowboy, now Dallas cowboy. 0:02:34.200 --> 0:02:36.680 I think that can light a new spark behind you 0:02:36.680 --> 0:02:38.680 because we got to remember that this guy was the 0:02:38.720 --> 0:02:41.760 first round pick. He's been on, he's been to Super Bowls, 0:02:41.800 --> 0:02:44.760 he's gotten the big bag. So this guy can transform 0:02:44.760 --> 0:02:47.960 into somebody. And then as far as the running backs situation, 0:02:48.760 --> 0:02:50.280 we all y'all know how I feel about that. 0:02:50.520 --> 0:02:54.640 It wasn't it was It wasn't. 0:02:54.639 --> 0:02:58.840 It wasn't it wasn't the big It wasn't a big splash. 0:02:58.880 --> 0:03:02.359 It's funny because I looked up that the Cowboys haven't 0:03:02.400 --> 0:03:05.080 brought in anybody and paid them outside of the house 0:03:05.639 --> 0:03:08.200 since Greg Hardy. And so it's like, man like, when 0:03:08.240 --> 0:03:10.320 you think about these numbers, you got to go pay 0:03:10.600 --> 0:03:12.600 to get that quality in. So for you to go 0:03:12.600 --> 0:03:14.760 get the running back that you got, it's like, hold 0:03:14.800 --> 0:03:16.880 on you bringing a guy that had less than a 0:03:17.000 --> 0:03:19.440 thousand yards and you let go a thousand yard running 0:03:19.440 --> 0:03:22.640 back this in house like talent like that for what 0:03:22.880 --> 0:03:26.400 three million dollars shorter and you have the production, So 0:03:26.440 --> 0:03:29.120 I guess it balances out. But for me, it's like, 0:03:29.440 --> 0:03:31.920 when you don't have that many key opponents, why let 0:03:32.000 --> 0:03:34.280 these people leave the building. And then two, like you said, 0:03:34.320 --> 0:03:36.320 if we're gonna let these people leave the building, I'm 0:03:36.360 --> 0:03:39.080 expecting you to bring in somebody and make that big splash. 0:03:39.280 --> 0:03:41.880 And this big splash did not happen. Every team Every 0:03:41.960 --> 0:03:44.680 year they have to have that big splash, whether it's 0:03:44.720 --> 0:03:47.240 in free agency or whether it's in the draft. And 0:03:47.320 --> 0:03:49.280 so I don't want to sit here and say, oh, 0:03:49.360 --> 0:03:51.760 we're waiting or this and that. They added certain pieces, 0:03:51.800 --> 0:03:53.800 like it's still late. There are still some big name 0:03:53.880 --> 0:03:55.600 players that are out there that maybe you can go 0:03:55.640 --> 0:03:59.280 spend for, but historically speaking, it hasn't shown that. So 0:03:59.360 --> 0:04:02.240 if it ends here and it goes on that same path, yeah, 0:04:02.280 --> 0:04:03.120 I'm a little upset. 0:04:03.120 --> 0:04:04.280 And it's like, oh, it's like lust. 0:04:04.320 --> 0:04:06.480 They're like for the Cowboys where they want to be 0:04:06.600 --> 0:04:09.440 for all the hype that's behind it being America's team. 0:04:09.840 --> 0:04:11.080 Where's America's player? 0:04:11.240 --> 0:04:13.440 You didn't bring them in and then you haven't paid 0:04:13.600 --> 0:04:16.200 America's player and Michael Parson and that, you. 0:04:16.160 --> 0:04:18.040 Know, just adding that tibbot in there. 0:04:18.080 --> 0:04:20.719 So it's like, hold on, I'm trying to be graceful 0:04:20.760 --> 0:04:23.279 and say, hey, maybe they haven't went out and paid 0:04:23.320 --> 0:04:26.600 somebody that big bag because they're aware they're gonna have 0:04:26.640 --> 0:04:28.640 to pay Michael. And then if they keep waiting the 0:04:28.640 --> 0:04:31.560 way that they're waiting, all these guys, Miles Garrett, all 0:04:31.600 --> 0:04:34.599 these other guys that keep raising that bar to where 0:04:34.920 --> 0:04:36.960 you didn't have to give them that much to now 0:04:37.360 --> 0:04:39.280 that bag is getting hirged. So maybe you can't make 0:04:39.320 --> 0:04:41.719 that splash and free agency. So I'm trying to be 0:04:41.760 --> 0:04:44.320 patient on it. But right now C plus maybe be 0:04:44.440 --> 0:04:46.520 minus because you did add in an offensive guard. You 0:04:46.560 --> 0:04:50.159 did add in some more rotational pieces as far as 0:04:50.480 --> 0:04:53.120 d Lineman, you got your you gotta running back right now. 0:04:53.279 --> 0:04:55.039 You still got other things you need to address in 0:04:55.040 --> 0:04:57.760 the draft. But yeah, it's a little lackluster right now. 0:04:58.040 --> 0:05:00.320 Me make sure I get this trait listening to you too, y'all. 0:05:02.000 --> 0:05:05.200 Greg Hardy in twenty fifteen was the last time they 0:05:05.200 --> 0:05:07.520 went out there and made his flash. Yeah, ten years 0:05:09.440 --> 0:05:14.160 and you expected it to change this year this year? No, No, 0:05:14.320 --> 0:05:15.800 I'm not. Why why why I'm not? 0:05:15.839 --> 0:05:18.000 Why would you you wouldn't because, like you said, we 0:05:18.040 --> 0:05:20.400 see how that situation went, and it's like, ah, I 0:05:20.560 --> 0:05:22.919 got this is who they are, right, and that is 0:05:22.920 --> 0:05:23.400 who they are. 0:05:23.440 --> 0:05:27.200 They are right. But you got decade, deca now know 0:05:28.080 --> 0:05:32.400 you we're going shopping kids, they drive past that mall? 0:05:33.279 --> 0:05:36.000 What then you can pass the mall? You go past 0:05:36.040 --> 0:05:37.920 Big T Where are we going? Hold on, we're going 0:05:37.960 --> 0:05:46.640 to the discount outlet. Man, you get some stuff over 0:05:46.680 --> 0:05:50.240 the warehouse. You're going past Burlin warehouse. But you got 0:05:50.240 --> 0:05:52.400 to look for it. You got to it's bargain shopping 0:05:52.400 --> 0:05:54.160 and you better be looking. And you could find some 0:05:54.200 --> 0:05:56.680 good pieces in the bargain shopping. But you can't get 0:05:56.720 --> 0:05:58.800 everything from the bargain shop. You gotta get that one 0:05:58.839 --> 0:06:01.240 focal piece. When you dress, it's like, okay, cheap the 0:06:01.640 --> 0:06:03.800 chief shirt, but hey, my necklace is going to be that. 0:06:04.120 --> 0:06:05.680 Oh hey, my watch is going to be that. 0:06:05.760 --> 0:06:09.360 Thecessory piece, like where's thecessory piece for the cowboys? 0:06:09.480 --> 0:06:13.760 Is where I'm asking. But we know they're not going 0:06:13.960 --> 0:06:16.839 in free agency the first week and signing a name. 0:06:17.279 --> 0:06:19.800 We got a decade now, now, hard, we got a decade. Now, 0:06:20.120 --> 0:06:22.760 don't look for that. What they will do is what, 0:06:22.960 --> 0:06:28.120 let's find complimentary pieces guys can fit here. I will 0:06:28.160 --> 0:06:32.680 say this if I'm Mike McCarthy, m senior, can I 0:06:32.760 --> 0:06:34.599 had some of this last year. A couple of pieces 0:06:34.680 --> 0:06:40.719 last year helped me out. I'm not it's going to 0:06:40.839 --> 0:06:45.480 be the second week if they go and find a 0:06:45.600 --> 0:06:48.640 quote unquote name that you're familiar with to say, hey, 0:06:48.680 --> 0:06:50.720 maybe this guy can do something here or there. As 0:06:50.760 --> 0:06:55.200 far as the running back goes here, Rico Donald going 0:06:55.240 --> 0:06:59.080 to Carolina for basically the same money that Javonte Williams got. 0:06:59.200 --> 0:07:02.720 Here's what I will would love to know. Where were 0:07:02.760 --> 0:07:06.280 those Where were they at in the negotiation? Where was ricoing? 0:07:06.600 --> 0:07:08.680 Where were they at that they decided to say, you 0:07:08.720 --> 0:07:11.400 know what, man Rico, thank you, thank you, We're going 0:07:11.440 --> 0:07:13.880 to go over here to Javonte Williams, who is also 0:07:13.920 --> 0:07:17.160 a better third down back in terms of catching the football. 0:07:17.640 --> 0:07:20.680 I think all three of us are in agreement that 0:07:21.160 --> 0:07:23.320 the first two days a running back needs to be. 0:07:23.280 --> 0:07:26.400 Selected, of course, of course without a doubt. 0:07:26.560 --> 0:07:29.800 And I'm a I'm thinking and if we kind of 0:07:29.800 --> 0:07:33.560 go with what we've seen with backs drafted that high 0:07:33.880 --> 0:07:39.040 this should probably be your RB one. So RB one 0:07:39.520 --> 0:07:42.760 out of the draft. Javonte Williams third down back coming 0:07:42.800 --> 0:07:46.120 in here? Can I live with that? I can live 0:07:46.160 --> 0:07:49.320 with that. You covered Ashton Genty, you want to tell 0:07:49.320 --> 0:07:51.480 me it's Ashton Genty, and then I got Javonte Williams 0:07:51.520 --> 0:07:54.440 here coming on the third. Would you would that upset you? 0:07:54.960 --> 0:07:57.640 Well, Ashton Gensey will be the starter and they would 0:07:57.640 --> 0:08:00.240 be RB one and Williams would be RB two. I 0:08:00.240 --> 0:08:02.280 wouldn't have a problem with it. And I think when 0:08:02.320 --> 0:08:05.200 you asked the question about what happened in the Rico 0:08:05.320 --> 0:08:08.440 Dowble negotiations, I think the negotiation was only only went 0:08:08.480 --> 0:08:10.640 as far as we were thirty second in the league 0:08:10.760 --> 0:08:14.720 in rushing touchdowns. So the script, the narrative wrote itself, 0:08:15.760 --> 0:08:17.720 there's nothing more to add. And here's the thing. When 0:08:17.760 --> 0:08:19.840 you take a running back like Saquon Barkley and you 0:08:19.840 --> 0:08:22.160 put him when he was with the Giants, and he 0:08:22.240 --> 0:08:25.560 runs for eleven hundred yards in the Giants offense, then 0:08:25.560 --> 0:08:29.320 your quarterback with no quarterback and b minus offensive line. 0:08:29.440 --> 0:08:33.600 But then I'm sorry, I'm okay. 0:08:33.840 --> 0:08:35.880 But then you take him and you send him over 0:08:35.920 --> 0:08:38.320 to Philly, and now he's a two thousand yard rusher. 0:08:38.440 --> 0:08:38.760 Okay. 0:08:39.320 --> 0:08:41.880 Let's take Rico Dawdle in this offense. Last year ran 0:08:41.920 --> 0:08:44.800 for one thousand yards. Okay, that is documented even with 0:08:45.440 --> 0:08:48.600 the lack of touchdowns, that his ability to hit paydir 0:08:49.800 --> 0:08:52.439 Javonte Williams. You put Javonte Williams in this offense, he 0:08:52.480 --> 0:08:54.920 scored four touchdowns last year. Would he would he have 0:08:55.000 --> 0:08:57.839 more success in this offense. If we're talking about offensive line, 0:08:57.920 --> 0:09:00.559 I think we're going to give our offensive line plus 0:09:00.760 --> 0:09:01.720 se minus and them. 0:09:02.960 --> 0:09:05.280 But I always talking about now, okay, either way. 0:09:05.360 --> 0:09:08.120 Either way, what I'm saying is you could take running 0:09:08.120 --> 0:09:10.680 backs all around the league and put them in different 0:09:10.679 --> 0:09:13.920 offenses and they will have success. All Right, I'm saying 0:09:13.960 --> 0:09:16.439 to you, Look, I just think that Javonte Williams is 0:09:16.440 --> 0:09:19.120 a better running back based off just based off of 0:09:19.160 --> 0:09:22.520 what I've seen from him. The way that he attacks holes, 0:09:22.600 --> 0:09:25.240 the way I mean just on third down. Those are 0:09:25.240 --> 0:09:27.880 different things that we did not get from Rico. And 0:09:27.920 --> 0:09:29.240 I don't want to be I don't want to have 0:09:29.320 --> 0:09:31.960 recency bias. I don't want to see a guy after 0:09:31.960 --> 0:09:33.640 the fact that go, oh, he's valuable to us. We 0:09:33.640 --> 0:09:36.200 should have kept held on to him. No, we need 0:09:36.240 --> 0:09:39.080 game changes. And there were plenty of games Montre that 0:09:39.120 --> 0:09:41.600 we went through. We watched and it was like, damn, 0:09:41.640 --> 0:09:44.960 if we just had a halfway serviceable running back, that 0:09:45.040 --> 0:09:47.760 could be the difference in this game, playoff games the same. 0:09:47.960 --> 0:09:52.200 This is true, And I'm not defending letting Rico go because, 0:09:52.240 --> 0:09:53.920 like I said, you can always get better. You can 0:09:53.960 --> 0:09:56.360 go find those guys that are undrafted, free agent fish 0:09:56.440 --> 0:09:59.720 round pick that are out there doing it and that 0:09:59.800 --> 0:10:03.200 are coming in to be starters. But the good teams, 0:10:03.240 --> 0:10:05.439 the teams that I've been a part of, we all 0:10:05.480 --> 0:10:08.520 know that yes, you have your your star power guy, 0:10:08.720 --> 0:10:11.120 but then you have that second guy, but then you. 0:10:11.120 --> 0:10:11.959 Got to have depth. 0:10:12.200 --> 0:10:14.280 Why not you you're telling me you couldn't have both 0:10:14.280 --> 0:10:16.360 of them on that on that you couldn't have Rico 0:10:16.480 --> 0:10:19.440 and bring in uh him to know. 0:10:19.880 --> 0:10:21.680 No, I don't. I don't think. 0:10:21.800 --> 0:10:23.360 And the reason I'm saying it is because I think 0:10:23.400 --> 0:10:24.760 you were going to go into this draft and you 0:10:24.800 --> 0:10:26.319 were going to get a running back anyway. 0:10:26.280 --> 0:10:30.160 Yeah, yes you do. But that's heckman. And I are 0:10:30.160 --> 0:10:33.360 sitting here like the RB one is going to come 0:10:33.440 --> 0:10:35.679 day one or day two. Oh no, and you. You 0:10:35.800 --> 0:10:38.959 played in the league, so you know that's probably one 0:10:39.000 --> 0:10:41.840 of the easiest positions to come in as a rookie. 0:10:41.480 --> 0:10:44.640 And b a like. It definitely is, And so that's 0:10:44.640 --> 0:10:46.839 why I said, I'm not really tripping about that. When 0:10:46.880 --> 0:10:50.240 I was alluding to letting stars go. I'm talking about 0:10:50.280 --> 0:10:52.800 more so Jordan Lewis, like we letting him go. 0:10:52.920 --> 0:10:58.360 But just the words you just use start star, what 0:10:58.360 --> 0:11:02.880 what what? Rushing down star one rushing touchdown? Yeah, yeah, exactly. 0:11:02.960 --> 0:11:05.880 That's why I said with the reasoning I would have personally, 0:11:05.960 --> 0:11:07.320 if I can keep them here, and I could have 0:11:07.679 --> 0:11:09.840 low bought them or maybe gave him five mil er 0:11:09.960 --> 0:11:12.520 four mil and been like, hey you stay here. I'm like, 0:11:12.600 --> 0:11:15.400 hey four hey man, I'm gonna have a competition. You 0:11:15.400 --> 0:11:17.480 got to make it out of training camp, get airline? 0:11:17.559 --> 0:11:19.320 How many how many times? Well, I mean, I'm just saying, 0:11:19.320 --> 0:11:21.800 how many times have you paid somebody and then they 0:11:21.840 --> 0:11:23.920 not make it out of the training camp? Like I 0:11:23.960 --> 0:11:26.320 would have brought them. I personally, I would have just 0:11:26.320 --> 0:11:27.720 brought them back in. But that's why I don't get 0:11:27.720 --> 0:11:28.360 paid the big bucks. 0:11:29.600 --> 0:11:31.600 This is another thing that we have to also and 0:11:31.760 --> 0:11:34.880 it gets not confuter. It just gets lost at times. 0:11:35.480 --> 0:11:37.960 Mike McCarthy wasn't trying to run, No, not at all. 0:11:38.200 --> 0:11:40.800 Schottenheimer's trying to run. And then when I think about 0:11:41.120 --> 0:11:46.439 running and you're a you were former defensive lineman, Javonte 0:11:46.520 --> 0:11:48.800 Williams is going to be a different type of look 0:11:50.320 --> 0:11:53.240 versus most likely what you're going to take at RB one. 0:11:53.840 --> 0:11:57.199 So the ability to bring in more let's just say 0:11:57.200 --> 0:11:59.920 it's gent more of a Brahma bull kind of guy. 0:12:00.440 --> 0:12:03.640 Then Javonta Williams a little different, especially on the third 0:12:03.679 --> 0:12:07.720 down package. If I'm shoddy, I'm trying to run the ball, 0:12:07.920 --> 0:12:09.720 but also give you a couple of different looks as 0:12:09.720 --> 0:12:12.520 I'm doing it, which is what Skip Pete always loved 0:12:12.559 --> 0:12:16.920 to have when he was here, when you had Zeke Elliott, 0:12:17.080 --> 0:12:19.840 and then you have Tony Pollard, he and you know, 0:12:19.880 --> 0:12:21.800 and even in what they do in Tampa, and then 0:12:21.800 --> 0:12:24.960 what Skip Pete was doing with Oakland, I thought, and 0:12:25.040 --> 0:12:27.200 I still think that's a good way to go about 0:12:27.240 --> 0:12:29.839 your running game. But Schottenheimer is going to be different. 0:12:29.880 --> 0:12:33.559 And when I look at ric o'dowdell, what does Rico 0:12:33.760 --> 0:12:40.560 bring you to tell? You know? And you what's he doing? Nothing? Nothing? 0:12:43.320 --> 0:12:46.600 So now he's a jag. He's just a guy. And 0:12:46.600 --> 0:12:49.640 and that's why I said, what was the conversation like, 0:12:49.679 --> 0:12:51.840 because just a guy should have signed for just some 0:12:51.880 --> 0:12:54.400 gags exactly, And that's why I'm trying to figure out. 0:12:56.559 --> 0:12:57.640 Now it's real. 0:12:59.360 --> 0:13:04.000 No, and listen, I'm not absolutely not firing any shots 0:13:04.000 --> 0:13:06.920 of guys. This is about making the Dallas Cowboys better. 0:13:07.320 --> 0:13:10.160 We are underachieving, and if we keep sitting here and 0:13:10.640 --> 0:13:13.360 saying to ourselves that these C minus guys are going 0:13:13.400 --> 0:13:16.280 to get us eight plus results, then we're fooling ourselves. 0:13:16.280 --> 0:13:19.000 And I'm not about fooling myself anymore. That's all I'm saying. 0:13:19.200 --> 0:13:22.360 You're talking about what Skip Skip Pete's philosophy is having 0:13:22.400 --> 0:13:25.440 a change of pace running back. So to me, I'm hey, 0:13:25.520 --> 0:13:27.960 William says to me, I'm your third down guy. So 0:13:28.000 --> 0:13:30.720 whoever you get in the draft, he's gonna be your slasher. 0:13:30.920 --> 0:13:33.320 He's gonna be your guy that's gonna get up in there, 0:13:33.400 --> 0:13:35.800 and he's gonna be your game breaker. We didn't get 0:13:35.800 --> 0:13:38.959 any game breakers in free agency to me, and that 0:13:39.080 --> 0:13:42.120 leads up to the draft being the end all, to 0:13:42.200 --> 0:13:45.000 be all, and I just having trusted the draft in 0:13:45.040 --> 0:13:47.640 the last couple of years of bringing in that end all, 0:13:47.720 --> 0:13:47.959 the be. 0:13:48.000 --> 0:13:51.200 All type of guy, Michael Parson. 0:13:51.880 --> 0:13:54.920 That was I mean that guy fail to you, you, 0:13:55.400 --> 0:13:58.120 and he failed, he failed to you, just like Seed 0:13:58.280 --> 0:14:01.280 Lamb fail to you. And it's almost impossible to make 0:14:01.320 --> 0:14:06.280 a bad decision when a guy falls to you. So well, 0:14:06.480 --> 0:14:09.320 look at the teams who didn't take them exactly, the 0:14:09.320 --> 0:14:10.480 teams who passed. 0:14:10.160 --> 0:14:11.960 I mean the teams who passed on Michael, the teams 0:14:11.960 --> 0:14:13.000 who on CD. 0:14:12.880 --> 0:14:16.800 They are slapping themselves. They are slapping themselves because they 0:14:16.920 --> 0:14:19.440 they made a mistake. Let's not I'm not sitting here 0:14:19.480 --> 0:14:22.000 acting like teams don't make mistakes Draft night Now we're 0:14:22.040 --> 0:14:23.240 the only ones to do it. 0:14:23.320 --> 0:14:25.880 No, no, no, this is documented, all right. 0:14:26.000 --> 0:14:27.720 But I'm saying, when you get a situation where you 0:14:27.760 --> 0:14:30.560 have a player that good and if hey at twelve, 0:14:30.840 --> 0:14:33.400 if you have the kid from Penn State fall to 0:14:33.840 --> 0:14:36.800 fall to twelve, go get them. Okay, you get one 0:14:36.800 --> 0:14:39.080 of my offensive linemen fall to you as well, Go 0:14:39.120 --> 0:14:42.480 get them. I mean, because that's just fortune being on 0:14:42.520 --> 0:14:43.160 your side. 0:14:43.640 --> 0:14:48.000 And I think that's also by plugging some of the 0:14:48.000 --> 0:14:52.800 holes that they plugged, you're allowing yourself at twelve to 0:14:53.000 --> 0:14:55.520 have several lives. And that's exactly what I'm saying. 0:14:55.640 --> 0:14:57.000 That's why I don't want to be as harsh as 0:14:57.040 --> 0:14:59.720 say that they're a C plus or B because those 0:15:01.160 --> 0:15:03.840 you added coggs, You added cogs and you fix like 0:15:03.960 --> 0:15:07.840 these little small knees. Now, it gives you alleviate some 0:15:07.880 --> 0:15:09.880 of that pain and that pressure to say, Okay, we 0:15:09.960 --> 0:15:11.560 got to go over here and do this, we can 0:15:11.600 --> 0:15:14.280 do this. We could take our time and make that 0:15:14.400 --> 0:15:17.400 right decision. So with free agency still going on, there's 0:15:17.400 --> 0:15:19.720 still chances and there's still some big name out there, 0:15:19.800 --> 0:15:21.960 guys out there that you can go get and you 0:15:22.160 --> 0:15:25.560 add to the offense or defense. And then therefore, once 0:15:25.600 --> 0:15:28.000 you go there, you're gonna kind of see going to 0:15:28.040 --> 0:15:29.920 get closer to the draft, Like, okay, now that we 0:15:30.000 --> 0:15:32.040 do to fix those pieces in free agency. 0:15:31.840 --> 0:15:33.760 We know where we're going. We're either going to running 0:15:33.800 --> 0:15:35.200 back or linebacker. 0:15:35.600 --> 0:15:37.960 I just want to say this that the moves and 0:15:38.000 --> 0:15:41.320 I'm saying Solomon Thomas is solid and I saw the 0:15:41.480 --> 0:15:44.720 signing as a rotational piece the linebackers that they bought 0:15:44.720 --> 0:15:47.560 in the guy from Chicago saying, man, I think he's 0:15:47.640 --> 0:15:50.200 been a part of eba Flus's defense. So that makes sense. 0:15:50.240 --> 0:15:52.880 That's like Eric Kendricks last year with Mike Zimmer. You 0:15:52.920 --> 0:15:56.160 bring in a guy that already knows Kenneth Murray Junior. 0:15:56.320 --> 0:15:58.960 I think that's a solid signing, right He is a 0:15:59.000 --> 0:16:01.560 guy that can give you some depth and some pieces there. 0:16:01.640 --> 0:16:04.240 But I haven't seen like when we're If you're not on, 0:16:04.760 --> 0:16:06.200 I don't care who you are. I don't care if 0:16:06.200 --> 0:16:07.400 you played in the league. I don't care if you 0:16:07.480 --> 0:16:08.000 got Emmys. 0:16:08.040 --> 0:16:08.840 I don't care. 0:16:09.360 --> 0:16:11.760 If you're going into this season with the Dallas Cowboys 0:16:11.800 --> 0:16:15.120 and you're not saying that the Cowboys need offensive defensive 0:16:15.160 --> 0:16:17.680 line help, then you're not seeing what the NFC is 0:16:17.680 --> 0:16:20.560 all about right now. NFC East is all about right 0:16:20.600 --> 0:16:23.360 now because teams like New York, Hey, New York, The 0:16:23.400 --> 0:16:27.680 New York Giants got better on defense, The Washington Commanders 0:16:27.840 --> 0:16:32.320 got better on defense, the fifth Hey, the World. 0:16:32.040 --> 0:16:33.960 Champs are better. 0:16:34.400 --> 0:16:37.640 Okay, So if we're not talking about offensive defensive line, 0:16:37.680 --> 0:16:40.320 because those are the weakest parts of your team right now. 0:16:40.760 --> 0:16:43.920 Let's hit the brake when we come back. The Cowboys 0:16:45.920 --> 0:16:48.600 have said goodbye to Tank Lawrence. How do we feel 0:16:48.600 --> 0:16:56.880 about it? And what's next?
