22
00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:11,759

00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:31,640
Speaker 1: We usually start to start this off with news and notes.

30
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:33,760
Speaker 5: Yes, so we can go ahead and dive into some

31
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:38,520
Speaker 5: of the actions that happened around the building yesterday.

32
00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:41,320
Speaker 4: There we go, No, but we can start with the

33
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:42,479
Speaker 4: guys who are.

34
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:46,800
Speaker 5: Tony Pollard signed a deal or agreed to a deal

35
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:49,800
Speaker 5: with the Titans yesterday, Dorn's Armstrong with the commanders, and

36
00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:53,080
Speaker 5: Tyler Byattish with the commanders as well. All these guys

37
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:56,800
Speaker 5: can only agree to deals. They cannot sign until tomorrow

38
00:01:56,840 --> 00:01:59,600
Speaker 5: when the official New Year begins, I believe around three

39
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:03,080
Speaker 5: pm yep Central time, Yeah, three pm Central time tomorrow.

40
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:07,640
Speaker 5: So you know, things are not finalized, but they may

41
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:10,280
Speaker 5: as well be. With those three guys, I want to

42
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:11,839
Speaker 5: I want to go through those three guys really quick.

43
00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:13,720
Speaker 5: Really cool to see Tony Pollard go back to his

44
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:16,280
Speaker 5: home state, have an opportunity to play at a backfield

45
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:16,639
Speaker 5: with Tai J.

46
00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:17,040
Speaker 1: Spears.

47
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:18,800
Speaker 4: I feel like that's going to be a really fun backfield.

48
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:21,079
Speaker 5: They get, they get good protection up front, they draft

49
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:24,040
Speaker 5: a tackle in front of those guys with Scaronsky. I

50
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:26,240
Speaker 5: think that's going to be a really a really fun

51
00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:28,920
Speaker 5: a running back duo there in Nashville.

52
00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:30,120
Speaker 4: Then you look at.

53
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:32,600
Speaker 5: Dorn's Armstrong getting fifteen million a year. It's one of

54
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:35,560
Speaker 5: the commanders. A big payday for him, obviously deserved.

55
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:37,840
Speaker 6: I think that's the max though he has to really

56
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:40,360
Speaker 6: I think it's eleven and then it's up. It's as

57
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:41,600
Speaker 6: much as fit as much as.

58
00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:42,480
Speaker 4: Fifteen, gotcha.

59
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:45,720
Speaker 5: Yeah, So regardless, really big payday there for Dorance. I

60
00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:48,360
Speaker 5: think it's deserved. I mean, he was showing that on

61
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:50,440
Speaker 5: defense and on special teams over the course of the

62
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:54,640
Speaker 5: last two seasons, and then Beattish getting three years thirty million.

63
00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:56,760
Speaker 5: I was surprised to see him come off the board

64
00:02:56,800 --> 00:03:00,639
Speaker 5: on day one, just given the Center market. But I'm

65
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:04,160
Speaker 5: not surprised with the final conclusion being Washington. But I

66
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:06,120
Speaker 5: did find it pretty interesting that he was gone off

67
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:07,880
Speaker 5: the board so early. But you know, it is what

68
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:10,120
Speaker 5: it is. I think of those three, you know, based

69
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:12,280
Speaker 5: on Twitter reactions beyond, it is probably the one that

70
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:16,280
Speaker 5: fans are least disappointed about, which I you know, you're

71
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:18,320
Speaker 5: talking about the running game all off season. You have

72
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:19,680
Speaker 5: to make a change up front, you have to make

73
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:21,399
Speaker 5: a change at the running back position. You would think

74
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:24,480
Speaker 5: those two things happened very early yesterday. So whether you

75
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:26,200
Speaker 5: like it or not, the running game is going to

76
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:29,119
Speaker 5: get fixed, well, not fixed, changed, It'll be different. It'll

77
00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:31,320
Speaker 5: be different, it'll be changed. We'll see if it gets

78
00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:33,919
Speaker 5: fixed or not fixed as time goes on. But guys

79
00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:36,680
Speaker 5: that are still on the board, Tyron Smith, Stefon Gilmore,

80
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:39,040
Speaker 5: I feel like I'm blinking on a couple of big names,

81
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:42,400
Speaker 5: right Jonathan Hankins. We'll see what the Cowboys could do

82
00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:45,560
Speaker 5: and get involved with thirty one teams made moves yesterday.

83
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:48,160
Speaker 4: One team did not. And we are standing in that building.

84
00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:52,640
Speaker 5: Today and uh ah, we got a signing. We gotta

85
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:55,680
Speaker 5: sign it, and we get breaking news already. Trent Sick

86
00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:57,160
Speaker 5: is coming back to the Cowboys.

87
00:03:57,440 --> 00:03:58,200
Speaker 7: They made a move.

88
00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:00,560
Speaker 4: They made a move. They made a make move.

89
00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:06,960
Speaker 5: Guys, Hey, that deep snapper helps an All Pro kicker

90
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:09,960
Speaker 5: and a Pro Bowl punter. That is that is a

91
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:11,960
Speaker 5: that's a good quality signing right there.

92
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:14,840
Speaker 6: Guys, you're too young to say deep snapper, and I

93
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:18,960
Speaker 6: think a long snapper I always, I just I mean,

94
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:21,760
Speaker 6: obviously it's not one hundred percent, but nine percent of

95
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:24,240
Speaker 6: the time you can tell somebody's age by how they

96
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:24,960
Speaker 6: call that position.

97
00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:28,760
Speaker 2: Really deep snapper deep Is that an old yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,

98
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:29,080
Speaker 2: well I.

99
00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:29,960
Speaker 1: Would long snap.

100
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:30,599
Speaker 4: I'm an old soul.

101
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:33,880
Speaker 6: John you are I know you are all right?

102
00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:37,279
Speaker 2: So that is I mean, Trent say coming back, great,

103
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:38,880
Speaker 2: you got something taken care of.

104
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:42,440
Speaker 1: That's checking a box. When when it comes to sorry Trent,

105
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:45,560
Speaker 1: when it comes to the.

106
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:50,920
Speaker 2: Three guys that have left Isaiah Dorance, Tyler Battish, Tony Pollard,

107
00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:53,880
Speaker 2: none of those three should surprise.

108
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:55,360
Speaker 1: You that they are no longer with the Cowboys.

109
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:56,240
Speaker 7: We've talked about it.

110
00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:57,520
Speaker 1: Those are guys that.

111
00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:00,760
Speaker 2: Either, like you said, in the middle of a change

112
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:03,800
Speaker 2: at the running game position whenever you've got running back

113
00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:06,040
Speaker 2: in center, and how they've run the ball this.

114
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:10,920
Speaker 1: Past couple of years, and are the value just wasn't

115
00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:15,440
Speaker 1: necessarily there for Dorian's Armstrong. So which one do you

116
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:16,840
Speaker 1: think stands out the most?

117
00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:18,960
Speaker 7: I would have to.

118
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:26,640
Speaker 3: I honestly think they're both relatively important, and I don't

119
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:29,159
Speaker 3: think that it was by chance as to where they went.

120
00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:34,159
Speaker 3: I honestly believe that dan Quinn not only was trying

121
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:38,960
Speaker 3: to obviously improve his team by having these acquisitions, those

122
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:41,320
Speaker 3: were not obviously his only moves yesterday. They were very

123
00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:47,800
Speaker 3: busy yesterday simply acquiring anybody. I'm surprised they didn't sign you, Jam, but.

124
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:51,520
Speaker 7: I think he was very This is just my objective opinion.

125
00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:52,360
Speaker 1: It's only day one.

126
00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:56,440
Speaker 3: It's only day one. They signed like twelve dudes. I

127
00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:59,480
Speaker 3: believe that was very strategic. Yeah, from Dan Quinn.

128
00:05:59,560 --> 00:05:59,800
Speaker 1: Sure.

129
00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:02,320
Speaker 3: I think it was strategic from the standpoint that he

130
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:06,720
Speaker 3: recognizes that the Dallas Cowboys are now arrival to him.

131
00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:09,440
Speaker 3: I believe that he understands that they are in his division,

132
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:12,080
Speaker 3: that they have to face them two times, And I

133
00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:14,159
Speaker 3: think that he knew what he was doing in terms

134
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:19,960
Speaker 3: of making it challenging for this front office this offseason

135
00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:23,360
Speaker 3: to feel even more voids in what they had already existing.

136
00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:27,200
Speaker 3: The probability of Tyler Beati's coming back obviously was kind

137
00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:29,320
Speaker 3: of up in the air. I don't think anybody was

138
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:32,360
Speaker 3: necessarily dead set on having to replace the center. I

139
00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:34,520
Speaker 3: know that I've been in the camp in terms of

140
00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:38,760
Speaker 3: wanting to get bigger and stronger at that position, but

141
00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:41,520
Speaker 3: it wasn't a sure thing that he was leaving. You

142
00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 3: had one offensive line position that you had to feel

143
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:51,640
Speaker 3: going into this week. Now he knows that there's two

144
00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:55,200
Speaker 3: very important offensive line positions that you have to feel

145
00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:58,880
Speaker 3: by him grabbing Tyler Biadis, you no longer have somebody

146
00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:02,240
Speaker 3: who runs things up front offensively. Now you have leaders

147
00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:04,800
Speaker 3: up front in Zach Martin. You have leaders up front.

148
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:07,799
Speaker 3: Obviously you got Terrence Steele. Still you still have Tyler Smith,

149
00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:10,560
Speaker 3: but you now have a giant void in the middle

150
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:13,480
Speaker 3: of your offensive line that we already talked about previously

151
00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:15,480
Speaker 3: that you don't There's not a huge veteran market out

152
00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:19,120
Speaker 3: there for sinners, so now most likely you're gonna have

153
00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:21,640
Speaker 3: to feel that void. The commander of your office a

154
00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:24,920
Speaker 3: line with the rookie. Most likely you're going to have

155
00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:28,720
Speaker 3: a rookie playing your second most important position, obviously your

156
00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:31,920
Speaker 3: most important position at left tackle. So your two most

157
00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:36,040
Speaker 3: important positions on your offensive line now have voids, and

158
00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:38,880
Speaker 3: that your NFC rival over at Washington commanders with Dan

159
00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:42,280
Speaker 3: Quinn made that happen. Whether they could have got somebody else,

160
00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:44,360
Speaker 3: sure he could have, but he said, you know, I'm

161
00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:46,240
Speaker 3: going to get Tyler be Odist. What else did you do?

162
00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:50,800
Speaker 3: He grabbed Doris Armstrong, possibly next to Micah in my opinions,

163
00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:52,360
Speaker 3: one of your most valuable players on.

164
00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:53,040
Speaker 7: The defensive front.

165
00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:54,760
Speaker 1: He's not done yet.

166
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:56,440
Speaker 4: By the way, he's gonna get two or three more.

167
00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:58,520
Speaker 7: Yeah, I believe that he will. I believe that he will.

168
00:07:59,040 --> 00:07:59,760
Speaker 7: But he knew what he was doing.

169
00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:02,280
Speaker 3: By Jones on Trump, Sure, not only am I getting

170
00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:04,600
Speaker 3: a good player, a productive player who's had what seven

171
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:05,920
Speaker 3: and a half eight and a half sacks over the

172
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:06,800
Speaker 3: last two years.

173
00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:08,440
Speaker 1: Twenty one sacks of the last three campaigns.

174
00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:11,800
Speaker 3: There you go, right, but I'm getting probably your most

175
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:14,080
Speaker 3: I'm gonna go ahead and say he's your best special teamer.

176
00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:17,160
Speaker 7: I'm gonna say he's your best special teamer. Okay, So

177
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:17,600
Speaker 7: you got.

178
00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:22,680
Speaker 3: Your your your your most versatile and dominant single dominant

179
00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:27,000
Speaker 3: special teamer in my opinion, and one of your best defensive.

180
00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:28,240
Speaker 7: Linemen off your roster.

181
00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:28,560
Speaker 2: Now.

182
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:32,120
Speaker 7: So now that's not only one void on the officer front.

183
00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:34,559
Speaker 3: You're you're taking his center, You're taking the Dallas Cowboy Center,

184
00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:36,839
Speaker 3: which is huge, leaves a huge void, but you're also

185
00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:39,640
Speaker 3: leaving a huge void in special teams and defense.

186
00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:39,880
Speaker 7: Now.

187
00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:43,880
Speaker 6: So on the Durrance thing, I think that just speaks

188
00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:47,600
Speaker 6: to Sam Williams has to step up, that that's who

189
00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:49,400
Speaker 6: they're looking at that has to take over those reps.

190
00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:51,439
Speaker 6: Also with Dorance. He's going to go from being a

191
00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:53,600
Speaker 6: rotational guy to when you pay him that kind of money,

192
00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:55,440
Speaker 6: you're going to be featured at. Yeah, you have to

193
00:08:55,440 --> 00:09:01,120
Speaker 6: be producing, no question. It's funny because leaving it Indianapolis.

194
00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:03,920
Speaker 6: My biggest takeaway since I wasn't on the show last

195
00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:08,200
Speaker 6: week was that Jerry Jerry shouldn't have set all in

196
00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:12,000
Speaker 6: and he doesn't care because he loves that everybody's talking

197
00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:14,960
Speaker 6: about it, so he doesn't. It doesn't bother him. Most people,

198
00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:17,680
Speaker 6: I think, would have not said that, would have said, hey,

199
00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:21,319
Speaker 6: we were close. I know understanding everyone's frustrated, but we

200
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:24,000
Speaker 6: think we're on the right path. And while people would

201
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:26,880
Speaker 6: be frustrated because the way the season ended, they wouldn't

202
00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:28,800
Speaker 6: be as mad as they are today because when you

203
00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:31,600
Speaker 6: say all in and then you obviously are asked four

204
00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:33,120
Speaker 6: or five different ways about it when we were on

205
00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:36,439
Speaker 6: the bus in Indy and you're not really shying away

206
00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:39,600
Speaker 6: from it, it just puts fuel to the fire. Because

207
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:43,280
Speaker 6: while I understand where Cowboys fans are coming from, there's

208
00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:45,880
Speaker 6: no way they lost yesterday. That like surprised me, especially

209
00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:48,120
Speaker 6: after you see the numbers. You know it's what I mean.

210
00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:49,839
Speaker 6: I didn't see any of those guys coming back for

211
00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:52,160
Speaker 6: those numbers. I get what you're saying that they are

212
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:54,720
Speaker 6: gonna their center next year is gonna be a rookie,

213
00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:56,920
Speaker 6: It's gonna be somebody that they draft.

214
00:09:57,120 --> 00:10:00,600
Speaker 1: Or it's gonna be a second or third year player TJ.

215
00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:02,600
Speaker 1: Bass or for sure.

216
00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:04,199
Speaker 6: But I would think that it's probably somebody you get

217
00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:06,120
Speaker 6: in maybe the third round, second or third round, yep,

218
00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:10,280
Speaker 6: or first if the right guy falls. But so that's

219
00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:13,120
Speaker 6: my whole takeaway from day one, and it is glaring

220
00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:15,000
Speaker 6: when you are the only team out of thirty two

221
00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:17,960
Speaker 6: that doesn't make a move to resign one of your players,

222
00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:20,480
Speaker 6: or will agree to resign one of your players or

223
00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:23,880
Speaker 6: add somebody from another team. Everybody knows first day of

224
00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:26,640
Speaker 6: free agency generally that's the player's day. That's when you're

225
00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:30,679
Speaker 6: gonna get your best deals. So but I totally get

226
00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:32,320
Speaker 6: where fans are coming from. If I was a Cowboys fan,

227
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:36,280
Speaker 6: I would be frustrated today too. But leaving Indy Man

228
00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:39,440
Speaker 6: that none of this is a surprise because it's nothing

229
00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:43,560
Speaker 6: is changing. Like they are draft and develop, they want

230
00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:46,240
Speaker 6: to resign Dak, Micah and CD and they don't want

231
00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:48,800
Speaker 6: to do anything that jeopardizes that, and so because of that,

232
00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:52,120
Speaker 6: that's why you're seeing what you're seeing yesterday and probably today.

233
00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:54,200
Speaker 5: I think the quicker that fans can get the all

234
00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:57,400
Speaker 5: in statement out of their head, the happier.

235
00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:58,040
Speaker 4: They'll be in the long run.

236
00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:02,360
Speaker 2: The best way I thought of it yesterday was and

237
00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:05,440
Speaker 2: we've kind of sent out the warning flares in the

238
00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:08,080
Speaker 2: weeks prior, and we talked about it last week after

239
00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:10,520
Speaker 2: Jerry was on the bus and kind of going into it.

240
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:16,440
Speaker 2: But it was a difference in perspective, not necessarily a

241
00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:21,240
Speaker 2: change of philosophy for the all in statement. The perspective

242
00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:23,800
Speaker 2: from the outside looking in is that this Cowboys front

243
00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:26,120
Speaker 2: office has not been all in the last couple of years.

244
00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:28,600
Speaker 2: But the perspective from the front office is that they

245
00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:31,199
Speaker 2: have been. They've been building this roster to the point

246
00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:33,800
Speaker 2: where they believed it was good enough to make a

247
00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:35,640
Speaker 2: run to get it done, and it.

248
00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:37,120
Speaker 1: Certainly wasn't in the end.

249
00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:39,280
Speaker 2: I mean, that's part of the frustration with the way

250
00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:41,280
Speaker 2: that Green Bay happened and the way that the wild

251
00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:43,959
Speaker 2: card exit happened is the fact that they thought this

252
00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:46,559
Speaker 2: roster was good enough, but it didn't get it and.

253
00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:47,199
Speaker 6: It was a good roster.

254
00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:48,240
Speaker 7: It was a good roster.

255
00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:50,600
Speaker 6: It's the best out of my thirteen years covering the Cowboys.

256
00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:52,600
Speaker 6: So now they put together some bad roster and live

257
00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:54,520
Speaker 6: to us like, wait, no, this is great. No it

258
00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:58,640
Speaker 6: you know, to piggyback on three consecutive years of twelve wins. Yes,

259
00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:00,599
Speaker 6: it's obviously good roster. I hate when people try it.

260
00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:02,920
Speaker 6: You're frustrated and so you say stupid things like trying

261
00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:04,679
Speaker 6: to all it was overrated.

262
00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:05,200
Speaker 7: No it wasn't.

263
00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:06,560
Speaker 6: That was a really good roster. That's why it was

264
00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:08,679
Speaker 6: so disappointing what happened against Green Bay. But with that

265
00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:10,920
Speaker 6: being said, what really hurts them is what you saw

266
00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:13,600
Speaker 6: happen with the teams over the last four years from

267
00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:16,400
Speaker 6: the NFC that have been all in and it was

268
00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:19,360
Speaker 6: the unequivocal all in and they all got to the Super.

269
00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:20,600
Speaker 1: Bowl Rams Eagles.

270
00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:20,920
Speaker 7: Right.

271
00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:24,199
Speaker 6: But if things ended because this past season is a

272
00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:29,880
Speaker 6: good example, because if things ended differently for some of

273
00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:31,840
Speaker 6: those teams, I think people would look differently at the

274
00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:33,240
Speaker 6: whole all in because you'd be able to point to

275
00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:35,360
Speaker 6: be like, yeah, that's don't do that, that's bad, like

276
00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:37,079
Speaker 6: you know the Michael Vick or it wasn't even the

277
00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:39,240
Speaker 6: Michael Bay. What was the year when the Eagles went

278
00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:41,080
Speaker 6: real aggressive. I want to say the guy like non

279
00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:43,400
Speaker 6: Diasinwall it was like in the like twenty twelve, somewhere

280
00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:45,400
Speaker 6: in there, and it was a disaster. Vince Young I

281
00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:47,120
Speaker 6: want to say, they got they spent a lot of

282
00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:49,320
Speaker 6: money and it didn't do anything. But because you've seen

283
00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:51,920
Speaker 6: these teams do that it's had success, then you point

284
00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:53,880
Speaker 6: to them and you're just like, oh, well, that's obviously

285
00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:55,360
Speaker 6: the way to do it. This is the Dalla's Cowboys.

286
00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:57,320
Speaker 6: Why don't they do it that way? Whereas it would

287
00:12:57,320 --> 00:12:59,320
Speaker 6: have been better for the Cowboys for more of those

288
00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:01,800
Speaker 6: teams to have basically this season that the Eagles had

289
00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:04,160
Speaker 6: last year. Where the Eagles were still pretty aggressive last year.

290
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:06,880
Speaker 6: Obviously they're starting out aggressive again and then but at

291
00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:09,000
Speaker 6: the end of the year, I mean, it knows dive

292
00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:11,520
Speaker 6: for them to the point where they had major changes

293
00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:13,960
Speaker 6: and things like that. But because those other NFC teams,

294
00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:17,400
Speaker 6: the Bucks, the Rams, the Eagles, the Niners of these

295
00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:19,199
Speaker 6: last four years have had success, people look at it

296
00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:21,320
Speaker 6: and they're like, no, we know what the blueprint is.

297
00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:23,280
Speaker 6: If you are really all in, it's what they're.

298
00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:25,840
Speaker 2: Doing exactly, and their way of looking it all in

299
00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:28,320
Speaker 2: is completely different than the way that the fans and

300
00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:30,040
Speaker 2: that outsiders have looked it all in.

301
00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:34,480
Speaker 1: And that's not backing up the front office for inaction.

302
00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:37,480
Speaker 2: Because that's what's frustrating is thirty one teams in day

303
00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:39,960
Speaker 2: one a free agency did something that they believed would

304
00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:42,880
Speaker 2: make their football team better. Thirty one teams. That's not

305
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:44,920
Speaker 2: just a couple teams here and a couple teams there.

306
00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:48,280
Speaker 2: You're looking at every other franchise in the NFL did

307
00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:53,080
Speaker 2: at least something to push their team forward into the season.

308
00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:55,840
Speaker 2: And that's the things our makeup for a loss exactly.

309
00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:58,880
Speaker 2: Would I would consider a restructure of deck being a

310
00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:01,600
Speaker 2: great domino that needs the fall first, we've talked about that.

311
00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:05,120
Speaker 2: That is probably domino number one, flashing red light number

312
00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:06,440
Speaker 2: one that needs to be taken care of.

313
00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:08,520
Speaker 1: That has not happened. Ceedee Lamb his.

314
00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:14,120
Speaker 2: Extension, whether that's before or after the DAK extension. Probably

315
00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:16,880
Speaker 2: after the DAK extension, then you've got to get that done.

316
00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:19,960
Speaker 2: Either way, there hasn't been any action other than signing

317
00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:25,960
Speaker 2: your deep snapper Trent City back into the fold. Outside

318
00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:28,160
Speaker 2: of that, you haven't necessarily done anything. That's where the

319
00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:30,920
Speaker 2: frustration lies. Oh, we have a question, that's where it lies.

320
00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:34,320
Speaker 2: And because if you're making some sort of action, you're

321
00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:37,160
Speaker 2: doing some sort of shifting maneuvering, then at least it

322
00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:38,720
Speaker 2: looks like there's something happening.

323
00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:40,160
Speaker 1: But instead it looks like apathy.

324
00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:43,400
Speaker 3: I believe that we're on agreement that the expectation was

325
00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:47,000
Speaker 3: for Dallas to do nothing. Yes, that's the expectation that

326
00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:49,760
Speaker 3: was that was that's based off history. That's that's history, right,

327
00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:53,880
Speaker 3: history says Dallas does nothing when free agency starts, right.

328
00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:56,240
Speaker 7: Yeah. Can you be disappointed?

329
00:14:57,040 --> 00:14:58,280
Speaker 1: Yeah? Absolutely.

330
00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:02,120
Speaker 3: If you're expe dictation is for them to do what

331
00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:05,400
Speaker 3: they've always done, how can you be disappointed.

332
00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:09,640
Speaker 2: Because of inaction and you're oh, but you expect it

333
00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:10,720
Speaker 2: in comparison too.

334
00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:12,440
Speaker 4: I'm with you, Isaiah, one hundred percent.

335
00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:14,320
Speaker 5: That's why I was really so surprised that the fans

336
00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:17,120
Speaker 5: were melting down yesterday. I was like, what exactly were

337
00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:19,600
Speaker 5: we expecting given the cap situation? And all the fans

338
00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:22,360
Speaker 5: are like, Oh, this cap situation, it's it's been created

339
00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:23,080
Speaker 5: by the front office.

340
00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:24,280
Speaker 4: They can alleviate that. Today.

341
00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:27,720
Speaker 5: It's like, okay, let's let's think about this for a minute.

342
00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:30,400
Speaker 5: Let's alleviate the cap situation today. What are you doing

343
00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:35,920
Speaker 5: restructuring Deck, you're extending CD, You're restructuring dig steel making

344
00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:39,760
Speaker 5: making room with Michael Gallop. One second, you're gonna go

345
00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:41,480
Speaker 5: to five of your employees be like, hey, I needed

346
00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:43,080
Speaker 5: to take a pay cut this next year, but we'll

347
00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:44,400
Speaker 5: give it back to you on the back end, Like,

348
00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:45,120
Speaker 5: don't worry about it.

349
00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:47,400
Speaker 4: I know we've been doing that for the last five years.

350
00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:47,920
Speaker 7: Taking a can.

351
00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:50,000
Speaker 5: I know we've been doing that for the last five years.

352
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:51,560
Speaker 5: But let's go ahead and do that today because we

353
00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:52,520
Speaker 5: need to spend money today.

354
00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:54,880
Speaker 4: That's not gonna work. That's not how business works.

355
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:58,479
Speaker 5: Like it's yes, they can alleviate the cap today theoretically,

356
00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:01,600
Speaker 5: but when it comes to personal and that's never going

357
00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:03,200
Speaker 5: to happen. That is why they are in the cap

358
00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:05,960
Speaker 5: situation that they are today. Zach Martin, you were able

359
00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:07,440
Speaker 5: to make that money and get under the cap.

360
00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:10,800
Speaker 2: That was the freedom there, which was surprising because he

361
00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:13,280
Speaker 2: held out in training camp in Oxnard to get his

362
00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:15,640
Speaker 2: money that had been kicked down the road initially.

363
00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:16,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean.

364
00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:19,400
Speaker 3: So Terrance Steell and Zach Martin have both restructured, correct

365
00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:22,840
Speaker 3: terror steel is not not just it's not zach A right, Sorry,

366
00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:25,480
Speaker 3: I have it, Zak Martin has Okay, So there is

367
00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:28,120
Speaker 3: some restructuring, right, And I still stand by my statement

368
00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:30,200
Speaker 3: last week. I know the expectation is for Dak to

369
00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:32,440
Speaker 3: get restructured. I still think there's a high probability that

370
00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:33,880
Speaker 3: they make him play in this fifth year. It's not

371
00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:36,440
Speaker 3: the popular opinion. That's just my opinion. I think that

372
00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:39,360
Speaker 3: they I think they get Ceedee Lamb done probably this week.

373
00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:41,320
Speaker 3: That's my expectation, at.

374
00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:43,640
Speaker 1: Least its action. Yeah, that's that's what I'm asking.

375
00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:44,520
Speaker 7: That's my expectation.

376
00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:51,400
Speaker 3: See, I I was torn between disappointment and frustration, and

377
00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:54,080
Speaker 3: I think I was more frustrated than I was disappointed

378
00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:56,600
Speaker 3: because to be disappointed, there's a level of expectation. And

379
00:16:56,640 --> 00:16:59,240
Speaker 3: it's obviously already stated that the expectation is for Dallas

380
00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:01,680
Speaker 3: to never do anything when free agency first starts. So

381
00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:04,439
Speaker 3: it has to be frustration, right. My frustration is that

382
00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:08,720
Speaker 3: Dallas has been competitive. Dallas has had a great roster

383
00:17:09,119 --> 00:17:12,240
Speaker 3: every year using this strategy. They've done a great job

384
00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:15,159
Speaker 3: of piecing it together. Front office is amazing of feeling

385
00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:17,320
Speaker 3: the gaps right, they go to Trader's village every year

386
00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:19,119
Speaker 3: and get some get some guys that are sitting at

387
00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:21,119
Speaker 3: the house and they and they fill the gaps.

388
00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:22,840
Speaker 7: Okay, they're not going to the premier stores.

389
00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:24,640
Speaker 3: I'm not even gonn name because I don't know who sponsors,

390
00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:26,520
Speaker 3: but there's a lot of premier stores that were that

391
00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:29,560
Speaker 3: were shopped at yesterday. Right, Dallas doesn't do that. They

392
00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:31,200
Speaker 3: go to the swap meet and they find they find

393
00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:32,040
Speaker 3: some value deals.

394
00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:33,480
Speaker 7: Okay, so that's it.

395
00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:33,679
Speaker 6: Right.

396
00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:35,640
Speaker 3: They go to the state sales and they always find

397
00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:37,200
Speaker 3: some good stuff. You can find good stuff at the

398
00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:39,639
Speaker 3: state sales, right, just not necessarily the best stuff.

399
00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:40,159
Speaker 1: Okay.

400
00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:44,119
Speaker 3: Last year Dallas proved evidence that that going out and

401
00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:48,240
Speaker 3: being aggressive helps your roster. Right, it gives you a

402
00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:50,360
Speaker 3: one heck of a push. Stephan Gilmour had a big

403
00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:53,600
Speaker 3: impact last year. Brandon Cooks had a big impact last year. Obviously,

404
00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:55,199
Speaker 3: these are guys that they went out and traded for.

405
00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:58,000
Speaker 3: They took care of business in that regard, so it

406
00:17:58,119 --> 00:18:00,600
Speaker 3: was approven. Now not only can can you go to

407
00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:02,720
Speaker 3: go to the swap meet and get good players to

408
00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:04,920
Speaker 3: fill the boys, but you go also go out there

409
00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:06,919
Speaker 3: be aggressive and get players that can actually go out

410
00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:09,000
Speaker 3: there and contribute to the success of your team. So

411
00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:11,199
Speaker 3: if you have been proven to continue to fill the

412
00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:15,680
Speaker 3: gaps and to be aggressive, people are expecting the continuation

413
00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:18,240
Speaker 3: of that. When you obviously make the statement of all in,

414
00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:20,640
Speaker 3: that doesn't help, right, There's a whole lot of ways

415
00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:22,640
Speaker 3: that could be taken. Obviously he backpedal, got his deon

416
00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:24,960
Speaker 3: sanders On and backpedal on that statement the following week.

417
00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:29,520
Speaker 3: But I still believe frustration, not disappointment. Frustration comes in

418
00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:34,200
Speaker 3: because there are always deals. Every single year we sit

419
00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:35,679
Speaker 3: here and talk about it. Okay, I've been here for

420
00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:38,080
Speaker 3: four years now, and you sit back and say, I

421
00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:40,800
Speaker 3: would have did that deal. I would have did I

422
00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:42,600
Speaker 3: would have signed Austin Eckler for five and a half

423
00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:44,800
Speaker 3: million dollars, absolute freaking lutely.

424
00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:45,840
Speaker 4: Zach Moss for four.

425
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:47,480
Speaker 7: Absolutely, you could have had them.

426
00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:49,280
Speaker 1: Both, trading a fifth for Brian Burns.

427
00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:51,920
Speaker 7: He would have took second, second and ff right.

428
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:54,600
Speaker 3: But those are deals that you would have done it,

429
00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:56,440
Speaker 3: and it leads you to believe, and I believe this

430
00:18:56,480 --> 00:18:59,360
Speaker 3: is when frustration comes in because we are unsure because

431
00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:00,800
Speaker 3: we're not sitting in the those rooms, we're not on

432
00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:03,639
Speaker 3: the cell phones, we don't have the records what calls

433
00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:09,719
Speaker 3: are being made, right, we don't know what calls are

434
00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:12,879
Speaker 3: being made. We don't know what moves are trying to

435
00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:15,280
Speaker 3: be made. Because fans are left in the dark, because

436
00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:17,480
Speaker 3: staff is left in the dark, we don't know the

437
00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:20,360
Speaker 3: attempts that are actually taking place. We could sit here

438
00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:22,439
Speaker 3: and assume that they're just sitting on their hands, but

439
00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:25,119
Speaker 3: we truly don't know. We just know the result, and

440
00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:29,359
Speaker 3: the result is other teams are obviously getting better with

441
00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:33,240
Speaker 3: their roster with premiere players, not swap meet players that

442
00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:36,119
Speaker 3: are still good, but premiere players that you know you're

443
00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:38,320
Speaker 3: gonna get production out of, and you roll the dice

444
00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:40,879
Speaker 3: and you spend the money. Dallas doesn't necessarily have that,

445
00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:43,439
Speaker 3: but there are things that they can do with current

446
00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:46,640
Speaker 3: guys on this roster to create space without even doing

447
00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:50,359
Speaker 3: the Dak deal and still fill voids. The concern is

448
00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:54,680
Speaker 3: you have gaping holes that have to be filled. This

449
00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:56,760
Speaker 3: is not a situation where you only got a handful

450
00:19:56,800 --> 00:19:58,879
Speaker 3: of spots that you need to take care of. Left

451
00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:04,480
Speaker 3: tackle sent into your defensive line, running back room, linebacker room,

452
00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:07,639
Speaker 3: linebacker room, receiver room.

453
00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:09,320
Speaker 4: I don't think it's a receiver room. I think it's

454
00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:09,760
Speaker 4: one receiver.

455
00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:11,760
Speaker 1: It's probably just one guy.

456
00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:14,119
Speaker 2: They've got Brandon Cooks back and Ceedee Lamb is the

457
00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:15,360
Speaker 2: top receiver in the country.

458
00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:20,240
Speaker 1: Like I'll say one receiver, it's.

459
00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:21,800
Speaker 4: Not it's I don't think.

460
00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:23,760
Speaker 6: I don't think. I don't think you need more than

461
00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:24,479
Speaker 6: one linebacker either.

462
00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:27,440
Speaker 3: Be with you, Yeah, in this in this new system,

463
00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:29,000
Speaker 3: the way that Green Bay random.

464
00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:29,240
Speaker 1: What are they?

465
00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:32,080
Speaker 6: What are they gonna run a legit traditional four three

466
00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:34,000
Speaker 6: with three linebackers out there all the time. You're gonna

467
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:35,919
Speaker 6: have linebackers out there, are going.

468
00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:38,119
Speaker 3: To see extreme changes on defense, and I don't know

469
00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:40,280
Speaker 3: how they're gonna make it happen. I honestly don't know

470
00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:42,120
Speaker 3: how they're gonna But this roster is not gonna look

471
00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:42,880
Speaker 3: like it looks like now.

472
00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:45,280
Speaker 6: And that's why it's the rosters that could be as

473
00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:47,520
Speaker 6: good as it was last year, not as everybody gets

474
00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:49,840
Speaker 6: their hands around that and and moves forward that. I mean,

475
00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:52,520
Speaker 6: that's just that fact.

476
00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:55,160
Speaker 3: And that's my concern going into going into the draft,

477
00:20:55,200 --> 00:20:58,520
Speaker 3: going into free agency, that's my concern because you're going

478
00:20:58,640 --> 00:20:59,320
Speaker 3: to have.

479
00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:01,760
Speaker 7: To appeal to what Zimmer wants.

480
00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:05,520
Speaker 3: You have to and you have gaping holes offensively, So

481
00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:09,560
Speaker 3: how do you address your gaping holes offensively? Where you

482
00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:12,679
Speaker 3: know you have to at least get four big signings

483
00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:15,400
Speaker 3: left tackle, center, and two running backs.

484
00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:17,960
Speaker 6: You have to think those running two running backs are

485
00:21:17,960 --> 00:21:20,880
Speaker 6: big signings. The league has shown you how the value

486
00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:21,639
Speaker 6: that position is.

487
00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:21,760
Speaker 8: Like.

488
00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:23,679
Speaker 3: When I say big signings, I'm not talking about a

489
00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:28,760
Speaker 3: king Henry. I'm talking about adequate contributors, like an Eckler,

490
00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:30,960
Speaker 3: like a moss, like those guys that got picked up

491
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:34,119
Speaker 3: yesterday that can contribute, that are proven winners. And now,

492
00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:36,439
Speaker 3: obviously you can get a draft pick, but you know

493
00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:39,399
Speaker 3: you got a draft a left tackle. You know you

494
00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:41,680
Speaker 3: got a draft a running back. You know you got

495
00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:42,520
Speaker 3: to draft a center.

496
00:21:43,040 --> 00:21:43,159
Speaker 1: Right?

497
00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:47,600
Speaker 3: How many draft picks do we have? And then you

498
00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:50,040
Speaker 3: know that you have to feel the voice that Zimmer wants.

499
00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:53,119
Speaker 3: He's gonna change dynamically what your personnel looks like.

500
00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:55,680
Speaker 7: So where are you getting all these guys from?

501
00:21:55,840 --> 00:21:58,840
Speaker 6: They're gonna get them off the scrap heap? How to

502
00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:00,160
Speaker 6: swap me?

503
00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:01,480
Speaker 7: I mean Trader's village right out there?

504
00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:05,800
Speaker 6: And Saturday, there's a salary cap. You can't have everything.

505
00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:07,679
Speaker 7: I get what you're saying, but other teams are figuring it.

506
00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:11,200
Speaker 5: Out some names that have been bounced around. And I

507
00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:13,359
Speaker 5: also want to mention you mentioned a good point Isaiah

508
00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:15,879
Speaker 5: about them being on the phone yesterday. Zach Moss was

509
00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:18,080
Speaker 5: an option. I mean, I feel like I talked about

510
00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:19,320
Speaker 5: for a while. I felt like that would have been

511
00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:21,840
Speaker 5: a perfect fit with what Mike McCarthy likes to do.

512
00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:24,679
Speaker 5: They were involved with that with that discussion, but then

513
00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:26,399
Speaker 5: the money became a little bit too much for them.

514
00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:27,720
Speaker 4: He ended up eight million.

515
00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:29,840
Speaker 5: Two years, So if that's too much. Now you know

516
00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:33,800
Speaker 5: where the price the price range is at. When when

517
00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:35,800
Speaker 5: you when you look at that price range, you're looking

518
00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:41,679
Speaker 5: at guys probably like Alexander Madison, Nakei Hines, Corderyl Patterson,

519
00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:45,000
Speaker 5: Deontay Foreman. I mean, this is probably the range you're

520
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:47,080
Speaker 5: going to have to be okay with one running back

521
00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:49,879
Speaker 5: that I think I'm very interested to see how his, uh,

522
00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:52,439
Speaker 5: his market plays out, and I think it could end

523
00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:54,280
Speaker 5: up being a sneaky good.

524
00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:55,800
Speaker 4: Market for the Cowboys. It's JK.

525
00:22:55,880 --> 00:22:58,880
Speaker 5: Dobbins because he's coming off all of these injuries. How

526
00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:00,800
Speaker 5: will he be valued in that since he's still only

527
00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:03,280
Speaker 5: twenty five, he was really productive when he was healthy.

528
00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:05,960
Speaker 5: Cowboys could still kind of fall into a situation where

529
00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:07,840
Speaker 5: they get a cheap guy who's just looking to prove

530
00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:10,800
Speaker 5: himself past injury. That could work. But other than that,

531
00:23:10,840 --> 00:23:12,760
Speaker 5: I don't really feel strong about any of these other names.

532
00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:14,359
Speaker 5: Aj Dillon I think is going to be past their

533
00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:15,040
Speaker 5: price range.

534
00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:16,840
Speaker 1: Edwards a layer.

535
00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:19,560
Speaker 3: So speaking to the speaking to getting guys off of injuries,

536
00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:22,240
Speaker 3: how does that work with Michael Gallup Antoni Paul.

537
00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:22,560
Speaker 4: Right, you're right.

538
00:23:22,560 --> 00:23:24,359
Speaker 5: Look, I'm not saying, you know, I'm not saying the

539
00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:26,040
Speaker 5: track is for sure for sure, I'm not saying that

540
00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:29,359
Speaker 5: at all. But I think there could be an opportunity

541
00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:30,800
Speaker 5: there if if they are able to get him on

542
00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:32,240
Speaker 5: a cheap deal, then if they lose and is a

543
00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:35,199
Speaker 5: cheap deal and they still have, you know, guys in

544
00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:37,119
Speaker 5: the running back room and a guy that they're gonna draft,

545
00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:39,240
Speaker 5: so we'll go from there.

546
00:23:39,320 --> 00:23:41,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's not gonna be perfect.

547
00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:43,480
Speaker 5: That is not gonna be perfect, but you're gonna be

548
00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:45,720
Speaker 5: chasing how to be okay. And I think that's an

549
00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:47,320
Speaker 5: opportunity to be able to chase okay.

550
00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:48,919
Speaker 3: And that's why I think that what dan Quinn did

551
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:51,680
Speaker 3: yesterday not only for his team, but to hurt that

552
00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:52,920
Speaker 3: I think it was intentional.

553
00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:56,120
Speaker 7: I believe sure intentional. I think that was very strategic.

554
00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:59,159
Speaker 3: Well, they had caps face too, they have money, but

555
00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:00,840
Speaker 3: there was other guys they could they got from other teams.

556
00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:02,040
Speaker 1: Agreed that they.

557
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:04,040
Speaker 6: Didn't want to really concerned by the commanders over there.

558
00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:05,800
Speaker 3: And I'm not concerned about what their production is. I'm

559
00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:07,840
Speaker 3: concerned about what they just did to their roster yesterday.

560
00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:10,680
Speaker 3: Let's talk about that a little bit. Let's talk about that.

561
00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:13,520
Speaker 2: There's there's an element of fomo fear of missing out

562
00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:17,040
Speaker 2: for Cowboys fans and looking across the division and seeing

563
00:24:17,080 --> 00:24:19,280
Speaker 2: what other teams have done so far in free agency.

564
00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:20,840
Speaker 2: I want to hit some of the names that are

565
00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:24,200
Speaker 2: going to Philadelphia, New York and Washington because all three

566
00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:27,080
Speaker 2: teams were very active on day one. And how much

567
00:24:27,119 --> 00:24:29,840
Speaker 2: of an impact does it really make. Let's talk about

568
00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:31,800
Speaker 2: that when we come back with more talking Cowboys.

569
00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:34,760
Speaker 9: Todd thought it would be secure to jog in the

570
00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:37,760
Speaker 9: cheatah Savannah. Todd believed the big cat repellent he bought

571
00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:40,720
Speaker 9: online was reliable. And now Todd is trying to be

572
00:24:40,760 --> 00:24:43,480
Speaker 9: faster than this cheetah that can run eighty miles per hour.

573
00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:45,760
Speaker 9: But the good news is Todd has at and T

574
00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:48,520
Speaker 9: five G. It is fast, reliable, and secure, and he

575
00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:50,840
Speaker 9: learned the best thing to do is stop running and

576
00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:53,520
Speaker 9: toss her the backpack with the beef stew at and

577
00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:57,200
Speaker 9: T five G. Fast, reliable, secure, It's not complicated.

578
00:24:57,400 --> 00:24:59,439
Speaker 10: Five G requires compatible plan and device. Five G may

00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:19,760
Speaker 12: Okay, this one's easy, I say, give her a delicious

610

00:27:02,280 --> 00:27:04,920
Speaker 8: I know, my, I my, my, my cellular phone hasn't

630
00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:06,280
Speaker 8: been working as of late.

631
00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:09,160
Speaker 3: But I don't see any text me.

632
00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:15,560
Speaker 1: Let me scroll, give me a second, let me scroll.

633
00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:20,040
Speaker 3: That's likes dog on iPhones.

634
00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:23,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, and no skill. That's what it was. Same sung

635
00:27:23,280 --> 00:27:24,240
Speaker 1: didn't get there in time.

636
00:27:24,760 --> 00:27:26,120
Speaker 7: You see the lens and you'll see it.

637
00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:28,440
Speaker 1: Last time I said, I'll get you some oats.

638
00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:30,159
Speaker 8: You're like, oh no, they're gonna be cold by the

639
00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:31,480
Speaker 8: time I get there.

640
00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:35,040
Speaker 7: Like warm oat. You can do cold pizza, you can't

641
00:27:35,040 --> 00:27:36,040
Speaker 7: do cold oats.

642
00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:38,320
Speaker 1: Well, I don't have a microwave back here.

643
00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:41,520
Speaker 2: I'm surprised you don't. Honestly, you got like the cocky

644
00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:43,560
Speaker 2: black rifle.

645
00:27:43,960 --> 00:27:44,639
Speaker 4: It was it was.

646
00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:46,879
Speaker 5: It was BEA's oppression of Isaiah for a minute there.

647
00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:48,880
Speaker 5: Why did he sound like Billy Bob Thordon sling blade?

648
00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:53,240
Speaker 1: All right, let's talk about some of the FOMO.

649
00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:57,800
Speaker 2: Part of the frustration, along with being the only of

650
00:27:57,920 --> 00:28:00,600
Speaker 2: thirty two teams to not make a move in day

651
00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:03,240
Speaker 2: one of the legal tampering period, is the fact that

652
00:28:03,280 --> 00:28:06,639
Speaker 2: the teams within your division made some big moves.

653
00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:07,359
Speaker 1: And we'll start.

654
00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:10,840
Speaker 2: We'll start with the commander since we were just talking

655
00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:13,399
Speaker 2: about it. So Austin Eckler signs a two year deal.

656
00:28:13,720 --> 00:28:15,879
Speaker 2: They get Zach Ertz on a one year deal, Tyler

657
00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:18,800
Speaker 2: Biattish of course, to urn Tomstrong, of course, two cowboys

658
00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:21,480
Speaker 2: now going to play with Dan Quinn as their head coach.

659
00:28:22,040 --> 00:28:25,800
Speaker 2: And basically they signed a linebacker, Frankie luvu Is.

660
00:28:25,800 --> 00:28:28,280
Speaker 1: So how you say his last nimes? He's a fun

661
00:28:28,280 --> 00:28:29,000
Speaker 1: little free agent.

662
00:28:29,280 --> 00:28:33,000
Speaker 2: Three years, thirty six million dollars. The commanders make some moves.

663
00:28:33,040 --> 00:28:35,000
Speaker 2: But John, you were talking about it in the middle

664
00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:35,640
Speaker 2: of the break.

665
00:28:35,440 --> 00:28:35,960
Speaker 7: A little bit.

666
00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:40,720
Speaker 2: Sometimes in day one of free agency, it is spend

667
00:28:40,840 --> 00:28:41,520
Speaker 2: money time.

668
00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:44,440
Speaker 1: It is panic spending.

669
00:28:44,080 --> 00:28:46,480
Speaker 2: To a certain extent, because you're trying to beat everybody

670
00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:47,880
Speaker 2: else to the punch, and a lot of times it's

671
00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:51,000
Speaker 2: reserved for teams that aren't very good and have some cap.

672
00:28:50,840 --> 00:28:53,640
Speaker 6: Space to kill absolutely, and that's why there's a lot

673
00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:56,160
Speaker 6: of teams that you've mentioned that. Frankly, if you're a

674
00:28:56,160 --> 00:28:58,200
Speaker 6: Cowboys fan, I don't know why you rarely would even

675
00:28:58,240 --> 00:29:00,080
Speaker 6: be that concerned about them. I understand a couple of

676
00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:02,800
Speaker 6: murn your division. But for me, when I when I

677
00:29:02,800 --> 00:29:04,680
Speaker 6: look at what goes on in free agency, I'm more

678
00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:07,600
Speaker 6: focused on obviously the Cowboys, but then the other teams

679
00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:10,440
Speaker 6: that are on their level, like you know, the Eagles,

680
00:29:10,520 --> 00:29:13,480
Speaker 6: the Niners, the Lions, the Packers, Like what are those

681
00:29:13,520 --> 00:29:15,280
Speaker 6: teams doing to get better? Because those are the teams

682
00:29:15,320 --> 00:29:18,360
Speaker 6: you're probably gonna have to go through, uh in the postseason.

683
00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:22,080
Speaker 6: So when Washington and New York do a bunch of stuff,

684
00:29:22,120 --> 00:29:24,240
Speaker 6: I mean, that's that's great for their franchise. They still

685
00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:26,720
Speaker 6: need to identify a franchise quarterback, you know, So there's

686
00:29:27,040 --> 00:29:29,440
Speaker 6: there's some pieces that need to be made there before

687
00:29:29,480 --> 00:29:32,200
Speaker 6: you're really looking at them, like, Okay, I'm really worried

688
00:29:32,240 --> 00:29:34,480
Speaker 6: about this. So and they have a bunch of money

689
00:29:34,480 --> 00:29:36,040
Speaker 6: to spend, so you're not going to just sit there

690
00:29:36,040 --> 00:29:38,240
Speaker 6: and not spend it. So they're gonna they're gonna pay

691
00:29:38,240 --> 00:29:41,240
Speaker 6: for players. Sometimes it works a lot of times it doesn't.

692
00:29:41,360 --> 00:29:43,240
Speaker 2: New Hey, coach, just trying to make it in right,

693
00:29:43,280 --> 00:29:45,960
Speaker 2: push an identity, build a culture.

694
00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:47,560
Speaker 6: And and maybe they do and maybe it works out,

695
00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:49,280
Speaker 6: but there's just a lot of times where it doesn't,

696
00:29:49,280 --> 00:29:50,760
Speaker 6: and it just some of these teams stay in the

697
00:29:50,760 --> 00:29:52,360
Speaker 6: same cycle year after year after year.

698
00:29:52,800 --> 00:29:55,000
Speaker 1: What did you think about what Washington did yesterday?

699
00:29:55,080 --> 00:29:57,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, we expected the Commanders to be active with their

700
00:29:57,040 --> 00:29:59,360
Speaker 5: cap space, so you know, they were able to get

701
00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:01,360
Speaker 5: on the board and fill will fill a few needs.

702
00:30:02,440 --> 00:30:04,400
Speaker 5: We'll see kind of how as the draft gets closer,

703
00:30:04,440 --> 00:30:06,960
Speaker 5: what they're again, what their quarterback situation will look like.

704
00:30:07,720 --> 00:30:08,920
Speaker 5: Come back to me in a couple of months and

705
00:30:08,960 --> 00:30:10,080
Speaker 5: we could talk about the Commanders.

706
00:30:10,080 --> 00:30:11,960
Speaker 6: But I think what's the biggest move that they've made

707
00:30:11,960 --> 00:30:14,720
Speaker 6: this offseason that really concerns you, like you like at

708
00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:19,280
Speaker 6: the Washington Washington's franchise last whatever ten years, really since

709
00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:22,160
Speaker 6: post RG three, Like, what move have they made to

710
00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:23,600
Speaker 6: where you were just like, well, this could be a

711
00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:25,160
Speaker 6: this could be a big problem.

712
00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:28,240
Speaker 4: Drafting RG three, I guess I mean or before that.

713
00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:30,560
Speaker 6: No, No, I'm saying I'm saying. I'm saying recently recently.

714
00:30:30,640 --> 00:30:34,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, they draft I'm the fourth round of that same draft.

715
00:30:34,360 --> 00:30:35,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm with you. I'm with you one hundred percent.

716
00:30:36,040 --> 00:30:38,000
Speaker 6: There was a long time where where I was like,

717
00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:39,880
Speaker 6: you know, it could be concerned for them is having

718
00:30:40,240 --> 00:30:43,800
Speaker 6: Montes sweat, Chase Young, Allen Payne. I'm like, Oh, they're

719
00:30:43,800 --> 00:30:45,880
Speaker 6: gonna build that defensive line, and then all of a sudden,

720
00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:47,920
Speaker 6: now those pieces are gone, and again when you don't

721
00:30:47,920 --> 00:30:49,040
Speaker 6: have the franchise quarterback.

722
00:30:49,280 --> 00:30:50,160
Speaker 4: Yeah.

723
00:30:50,280 --> 00:30:52,240
Speaker 5: If I had to rank like the most quote unquote

724
00:30:52,280 --> 00:30:54,880
Speaker 5: concerning things that happened for the Cowboys around the NFC

725
00:30:54,920 --> 00:30:56,560
Speaker 5: East yesterday, I don't think I would get it to

726
00:30:56,600 --> 00:30:58,280
Speaker 5: a commander's note until.

727
00:30:58,040 --> 00:30:59,080
Speaker 4: Probably like fourth or fifth.

728
00:30:59,120 --> 00:31:01,400
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean you're talking about out Bryce stuff going

729
00:31:01,440 --> 00:31:03,560
Speaker 5: to the Eagles, Brian Burns getting traded to the Giants,

730
00:31:03,560 --> 00:31:05,520
Speaker 5: Saquon Barkley going to the Eagles.

731
00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:08,040
Speaker 4: I feel like there was another big signing for the

732
00:31:08,120 --> 00:31:12,200
Speaker 4: Giants yesterday. But I mean the division got better overall.

733
00:31:13,600 --> 00:31:16,720
Speaker 5: Commanders, they have obviously a bigger gap to close, so

734
00:31:17,040 --> 00:31:18,719
Speaker 5: it's gonna take them a little bit longer to put

735
00:31:18,720 --> 00:31:22,640
Speaker 5: the pieces together, but I think I think they will be.

736
00:31:23,320 --> 00:31:25,280
Speaker 5: I think they will be a lot better than they

737
00:31:25,280 --> 00:31:27,040
Speaker 5: were last year. I think that's that's a fact. Like

738
00:31:27,080 --> 00:31:30,080
Speaker 5: I think they're they're improving to be teetering on that

739
00:31:30,160 --> 00:31:32,560
Speaker 5: six seven win territory as opposed to three to four

740
00:31:32,640 --> 00:31:35,120
Speaker 5: last year. And what it depends on the quarterback that

741
00:31:35,160 --> 00:31:37,640
Speaker 5: they get is to whether they're a winning team or not.

742
00:31:37,640 --> 00:31:39,160
Speaker 4: In my opinion, it's funny.

743
00:31:39,240 --> 00:31:41,480
Speaker 2: Nick Eatman was the one that brought this up yesterday

744
00:31:41,560 --> 00:31:43,800
Speaker 2: just in conversation, so I'll give him credit for this,

745
00:31:43,880 --> 00:31:46,960
Speaker 2: but I thought it was perfect. It's like next year

746
00:31:47,040 --> 00:31:50,600
Speaker 2: whenever Isaiah and I or get ready for a Sunday

747
00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:54,760
Speaker 2: afternoon matchup, noon kickoff at FedEx Field and we're breaking

748
00:31:54,760 --> 00:31:57,640
Speaker 2: down the pregame live notes. I don't think we're gonna

749
00:31:57,680 --> 00:32:01,120
Speaker 2: lead the show off with Dorence Armstrong. We're not going

750
00:32:01,200 --> 00:32:04,400
Speaker 2: to lead the show off with Tyler Biattish. Like it's

751
00:32:04,480 --> 00:32:07,080
Speaker 2: gonna be whoever they take it quarterback. It'll be Drake

752
00:32:07,200 --> 00:32:10,680
Speaker 2: May out of North Carolina, It'll be Jade and Daniels

753
00:32:10,680 --> 00:32:11,360
Speaker 2: out of LSU.

754
00:32:11,440 --> 00:32:13,960
Speaker 6: Whoever's their quarterback is Marcus Mariota.

755
00:32:14,080 --> 00:32:17,000
Speaker 2: Marcus Mariota is the Yeah. Whoever it ends up being,

756
00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:21,200
Speaker 2: it's not gonna be. These aren't big name signings. The

757
00:32:21,240 --> 00:32:23,160
Speaker 2: one thing we will talk about, though, is on the

758
00:32:23,200 --> 00:32:27,560
Speaker 2: Philadelphia side of things, Sakuon Barkley. We'll talk about Saquon

759
00:32:27,640 --> 00:32:30,360
Speaker 2: Barkley going to Philly and what he looks like.

760
00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:31,240
Speaker 1: Going into it.

761
00:32:31,280 --> 00:32:34,520
Speaker 2: Signs a three year, thirty we'll say, just thirty eight

762
00:32:34,600 --> 00:32:35,760
Speaker 2: million dollar contract.

763
00:32:35,920 --> 00:32:37,840
Speaker 1: According to Ian Rappaport.

764
00:32:37,960 --> 00:32:41,640
Speaker 2: They also signed Alberta Quebanam the tight end, Landon Dickerson

765
00:32:41,680 --> 00:32:45,760
Speaker 2: offensive guard. They re signed him, brought back Brandon Graham,

766
00:32:46,120 --> 00:32:50,000
Speaker 2: signed Bryce Huff the edge rusher, and then Julian Aquara

767
00:32:50,560 --> 00:32:52,640
Speaker 2: the free agent linebacker as well.

768
00:32:52,680 --> 00:32:55,000
Speaker 1: So that's what Philly did yesterday.

769
00:32:54,720 --> 00:32:58,360
Speaker 6: And that's on the heels of they lose DeAndre Swift. Yes,

770
00:32:58,480 --> 00:33:02,440
Speaker 6: Jason Kelsey retires, Fletcher Cox retires some big pieces.

771
00:33:02,640 --> 00:33:04,280
Speaker 2: Do you feel like they've done enough to fill that

772
00:33:04,400 --> 00:33:06,200
Speaker 2: void just based off of their first day?

773
00:33:06,520 --> 00:33:07,120
Speaker 1: Uh?

774
00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:09,760
Speaker 6: Maybe not. I mean, I think a lot of Kelsey

775
00:33:09,920 --> 00:33:13,080
Speaker 6: so and Fletcher Cox has had a phenomenal career. Swift,

776
00:33:13,120 --> 00:33:17,000
Speaker 6: I think they obviously exceeded expectations by replacing with Barkley.

777
00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:19,640
Speaker 6: I can't sit here and say, like one day it

778
00:33:19,680 --> 00:33:21,800
Speaker 6: does that for me with the Eagles, but it's the

779
00:33:21,800 --> 00:33:24,880
Speaker 6: fact that you just you have this track record. You

780
00:33:24,960 --> 00:33:27,080
Speaker 6: know how aggressive they are. It's not just about yesterday,

781
00:33:27,240 --> 00:33:31,280
Speaker 6: not just about today, it's about the next whatever, three, four, five,

782
00:33:31,320 --> 00:33:33,240
Speaker 6: six months into the season, you know they're going to

783
00:33:33,280 --> 00:33:37,680
Speaker 6: be aggressive. They operate very aggressively to where you know

784
00:33:37,720 --> 00:33:40,120
Speaker 6: they can make shirts that say all in and people

785
00:33:40,160 --> 00:33:40,840
Speaker 6: would believe it.

786
00:33:41,960 --> 00:33:43,040
Speaker 1: What do you think?

787
00:33:43,360 --> 00:33:46,280
Speaker 3: I agree with everything. James just said that the Philly

788
00:33:46,320 --> 00:33:48,680
Speaker 3: is just a team. They don't relax. They don't relax.

789
00:33:48,720 --> 00:33:49,320
Speaker 7: You can't.

790
00:33:49,440 --> 00:33:51,920
Speaker 3: There's not a point where I feel like when you're

791
00:33:51,960 --> 00:33:54,600
Speaker 3: dealing with the Dallas Cowboys in their current state, You're like,

792
00:33:54,640 --> 00:33:57,600
Speaker 3: all right, they're done making their moves, like that's their roster.

793
00:33:58,200 --> 00:33:59,240
Speaker 7: Philly not the case.

794
00:33:59,360 --> 00:34:01,120
Speaker 3: You just you never feel secure all the way through

795
00:34:01,120 --> 00:34:03,920
Speaker 3: the trade deadline, and Philly is always looking to do something.

796
00:34:03,960 --> 00:34:05,840
Speaker 3: I feel like they're all We talked about the feeling

797
00:34:05,880 --> 00:34:07,920
Speaker 3: and not knowing whether teams are on the phone or not.

798
00:34:08,120 --> 00:34:10,000
Speaker 3: You feel like Philly's always on the phone. You know

799
00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:12,240
Speaker 3: what I'm saying, Like like Philly's like, hey, is Nick available?

800
00:34:12,239 --> 00:34:12,759
Speaker 3: How much Nick?

801
00:34:12,840 --> 00:34:13,000
Speaker 2: Want?

802
00:34:13,040 --> 00:34:13,160
Speaker 13: All?

803
00:34:13,200 --> 00:34:13,319
Speaker 14: Right?

804
00:34:13,400 --> 00:34:13,480
Speaker 8: Now?

805
00:34:13,520 --> 00:34:15,200
Speaker 7: All right? Talk you later. You know what I'm saying,

806
00:34:15,200 --> 00:34:16,359
Speaker 7: My price? How about now?

807
00:34:16,760 --> 00:34:16,920
Speaker 6: Nick?

808
00:34:16,960 --> 00:34:17,120
Speaker 2: Good?

809
00:34:17,160 --> 00:34:17,319
Speaker 8: Now?

810
00:34:17,360 --> 00:34:19,080
Speaker 3: Like like you can just you get the sense that

811
00:34:19,080 --> 00:34:23,360
Speaker 3: they're always pursuing and always asking and always trying because

812
00:34:23,400 --> 00:34:25,520
Speaker 3: some of the things that they get accomplished, it's just like, dang,

813
00:34:25,800 --> 00:34:26,799
Speaker 3: how the heck they get that?

814
00:34:26,920 --> 00:34:28,480
Speaker 6: And then you know what they're part about is that,

815
00:34:28,520 --> 00:34:31,080
Speaker 6: Like it's the Eagles and Niners have both also, they've

816
00:34:31,680 --> 00:34:34,440
Speaker 6: swung in midst They've made bad moves, They've done the

817
00:34:34,440 --> 00:34:37,080
Speaker 6: wrong thing to take the risk. Yeah, well, and then

818
00:34:37,120 --> 00:34:39,200
Speaker 6: they make up for it with other moves. You're just like,

819
00:34:39,200 --> 00:34:40,839
Speaker 6: how did they get out of that? I was told

820
00:34:40,840 --> 00:34:42,960
Speaker 6: if that didn't work out that that they were going

821
00:34:43,040 --> 00:34:45,080
Speaker 6: to be in a hole forever, and that hole is

822
00:34:45,440 --> 00:34:47,879
Speaker 6: not at all and they just fill in those holes

823
00:34:47,920 --> 00:34:49,520
Speaker 6: and move on to the next thing. It's crazy, like

824
00:34:49,560 --> 00:34:52,239
Speaker 6: how aggressive and and how successful they've been.

825
00:34:52,560 --> 00:34:54,799
Speaker 3: Yeah, No, I feel like Dallas is like the old

826
00:34:54,840 --> 00:34:58,040
Speaker 3: thirty five millimeter camera and every other team in the

827
00:34:58,160 --> 00:35:00,839
Speaker 3: NFC that's competitive has like the new digit joints, and hey,

828
00:35:01,120 --> 00:35:02,920
Speaker 3: you take pat as, you could delete it, you know, like, well,

829
00:35:03,160 --> 00:35:05,480
Speaker 3: let's ask still trying to be perfect with every shot.

830
00:35:06,200 --> 00:35:09,279
Speaker 6: And to be honest with you, that's fine if you

831
00:35:09,440 --> 00:35:12,520
Speaker 6: if your results are like what Kansas City's been doing,

832
00:35:12,640 --> 00:35:14,200
Speaker 6: Like Kansas City doesn't have to go out and sign

833
00:35:14,200 --> 00:35:16,640
Speaker 6: anybody else. They're trying to keep everybody that they have

834
00:35:16,880 --> 00:35:19,640
Speaker 6: because they have had that ultimate success. And I'm and

835
00:35:19,680 --> 00:35:21,839
Speaker 6: even that is ridiculous. I'm not asking for three super

836
00:35:21,880 --> 00:35:24,400
Speaker 6: Bowls in five years. But if with this cores right now,

837
00:35:24,640 --> 00:35:26,279
Speaker 6: you had won a super Bowl within the last two

838
00:35:26,320 --> 00:35:28,240
Speaker 6: or three years, I think it's a lot more sitting

839
00:35:28,280 --> 00:35:29,839
Speaker 6: back being like, hey, why would you want to get

840
00:35:29,920 --> 00:35:31,560
Speaker 6: rid of why would you want to shake this up?

841
00:35:31,640 --> 00:35:34,680
Speaker 6: This is this is heading the right, everything's here. But

842
00:35:34,760 --> 00:35:37,080
Speaker 6: when you have that, forget even the last two or

843
00:35:37,080 --> 00:35:40,239
Speaker 6: three years, just that showing against the Packers, yep, should

844
00:35:40,320 --> 00:35:41,240
Speaker 6: make you question everything.

845
00:35:42,840 --> 00:35:45,560
Speaker 2: Do you feel like, actually ask this question on the

846
00:35:45,560 --> 00:35:49,200
Speaker 2: other side of the break, do you feel like what

847
00:35:49,400 --> 00:35:52,839
Speaker 2: happened against the Packers has affected the way the things

848
00:35:52,880 --> 00:35:56,160
Speaker 2: have happened in free agency whatsoever so far?

849
00:35:56,719 --> 00:35:59,160
Speaker 1: And maybe what it'll do in the next couple of weeks.

850
00:35:59,200 --> 00:36:01,279

Speaker 9: Tod thought it would be secure to jog in the

Speaker 9: online was reliable, and now Todd is trying to be

883
00:37:41,560 --> 00:37:44,239
Speaker 9: faster than this cheetah that can run eighty miles per hour.

884
00:37:44,840 --> 00:37:46,600
Speaker 9: But the good news is Todd has AT and T

885

Speaker 9: five G. It is fast, reliable, and secure, and he

886
00:37:49,480 --> 00:37:51,640
Speaker 9: learned the best thing to do is stop running and

887
00:37:51,800 --> 00:37:54,319
Speaker 9: toss her the backpack with the beef stew At and

888
00:37:54,360 --> 00:37:58,000

Speaker 2: Back here on Talking Cowboys. This segment is brought to

893
00:38:20,320 --> 00:38:22,759
Speaker 2: you by in Visa Line the official smile of the

894
00:38:22,840 --> 00:38:27,120
Speaker 2: Dallas Cowboys. I say a stand bang, John Machoda, Nick Harris,

895
00:38:27,480 --> 00:38:29,520
Speaker 2: I'm Kyle Yeoman's Chris Beam in the back, all right.

896
00:38:30,360 --> 00:38:32,680
Speaker 2: I asked the question a little bit there. How much

897
00:38:32,760 --> 00:38:36,879
Speaker 2: does the loss to Green Bay affect the mindset going

898
00:38:36,920 --> 00:38:40,680
Speaker 2: into free agency moving forward? Does it affect it in

899
00:38:40,840 --> 00:38:43,960
Speaker 2: the action that we've seen so far? Saying maybe maybe

900
00:38:44,040 --> 00:38:47,600
Speaker 2: we are questioning everything. Maybe we don't know from a

901
00:38:47,640 --> 00:38:51,040
Speaker 2: front office standpoint, who to bring back, who to extend,

902
00:38:51,080 --> 00:38:53,840
Speaker 2: who to really put out there on the trade market.

903
00:38:54,440 --> 00:38:56,879
Speaker 1: There there are a ton of different.

904
00:38:56,600 --> 00:38:59,359
Speaker 2: Options you can have when it comes to building this

905
00:38:59,440 --> 00:39:02,200
Speaker 2: roster for the future. It could either be retain guys

906
00:39:02,239 --> 00:39:05,440
Speaker 2: and try and battle to be good. Like you said, Nick,

907
00:39:05,880 --> 00:39:08,839
Speaker 2: it could be go all in. I think that one's

908
00:39:08,880 --> 00:39:11,200
Speaker 2: pretty much out of the window at this point by

909
00:39:11,239 --> 00:39:14,080
Speaker 2: signing some big name free agents and saying screw the cap.

910
00:39:14,120 --> 00:39:16,960
Speaker 2: We'll figure that out later down the road. Or you

911
00:39:17,000 --> 00:39:18,799
Speaker 2: can blow it all up and start all over. But

912
00:39:19,040 --> 00:39:21,440
Speaker 2: how do you feel like it's affected things based off

913
00:39:21,440 --> 00:39:22,319
Speaker 2: of that Green Bay loss?

914
00:39:22,320 --> 00:39:24,040
Speaker 6: Well, I mean, we're it's sitting right now. I don't

915
00:39:24,040 --> 00:39:26,560
Speaker 6: think there's any difference with what they're doing as if

916
00:39:26,560 --> 00:39:28,640
Speaker 6: they would have lost the Niners in NFC Championship Game.

917
00:39:28,680 --> 00:39:31,560
Speaker 5: I agree, Yeah, I don't. I don't feel like that

918
00:39:31,719 --> 00:39:35,040
Speaker 5: the loss is yeah, no, I don't. They could have

919
00:39:35,040 --> 00:39:36,640
Speaker 5: won the Super Bowl, they'd still be in the very

920
00:39:36,760 --> 00:39:37,320
Speaker 5: same situation.

921
00:39:37,320 --> 00:39:39,080
Speaker 2: There's a point to me asking this, by the way,

922
00:39:39,120 --> 00:39:40,600
Speaker 2: I want to just get everybody's answers.

923
00:39:40,600 --> 00:39:41,400
Speaker 1: First. Have you ever.

924
00:39:41,480 --> 00:39:43,680
Speaker 7: Accidentally put foil in a microwave? Oh?

925
00:39:43,800 --> 00:39:46,239
Speaker 6: Yeah, huh yeah?

926
00:39:46,440 --> 00:39:47,600
Speaker 7: Was that a traumatic event for you?

927
00:39:47,680 --> 00:39:47,960
Speaker 1: It was?

928
00:39:48,400 --> 00:39:49,160
Speaker 6: It was fun looking.

929
00:39:49,200 --> 00:39:51,239
Speaker 7: Did it Did it change how it was? Did it

930
00:39:51,360 --> 00:39:51,920
Speaker 7: change the.

931
00:39:53,520 --> 00:39:55,360
Speaker 12: It was?

932
00:39:55,600 --> 00:39:57,680
Speaker 1: My wife will not because of that.

933
00:39:58,000 --> 00:40:01,319
Speaker 3: Okay, So did it change how much attention you place

934
00:40:01,440 --> 00:40:04,120
Speaker 3: on looking at what you put in a microwave from

935
00:40:04,120 --> 00:40:04,719
Speaker 3: that point forward?

936
00:40:06,400 --> 00:40:08,200
Speaker 6: Not as much as it made me think. I can't

937
00:40:08,239 --> 00:40:11,120
Speaker 6: believe that, Like, you're so panic that you would grab

938
00:40:11,160 --> 00:40:13,319
Speaker 6: something on fire to throw it into the sink, not

939
00:40:13,320 --> 00:40:14,920
Speaker 6: thinking about how it would burn your hand. But it's like,

940
00:40:14,920 --> 00:40:16,320
Speaker 6: I gotta get the zire before you remember.

941
00:40:16,760 --> 00:40:19,000
Speaker 3: But you remember that every time, Yeah, every time you

942
00:40:19,040 --> 00:40:20,319
Speaker 3: get ready to put something in the microwator to warm

943
00:40:20,320 --> 00:40:22,560
Speaker 3: it up, Like you think about that one time that

944
00:40:22,600 --> 00:40:24,359
Speaker 3: you freaking almost burnt up down the house.

945
00:40:24,600 --> 00:40:24,719
Speaker 1: Right.

946
00:40:24,840 --> 00:40:26,680
Speaker 5: I can give a similar comparison on what was total

947
00:40:26,760 --> 00:40:28,759
Speaker 5: the car because I was driving over a puddle and

948
00:40:28,760 --> 00:40:31,040
Speaker 5: there was a sinkhole under that puddle and it flooded

949
00:40:31,080 --> 00:40:31,319
Speaker 5: my edge.

950
00:40:31,360 --> 00:40:32,960
Speaker 4: And so every time I drop drive around.

951
00:40:32,800 --> 00:40:36,160
Speaker 3: And don't you exactly absolutely so, when you get smacked

952
00:40:36,239 --> 00:40:38,439
Speaker 3: up in the first round like that, yeah, that should

953
00:40:38,480 --> 00:40:41,719
Speaker 3: be a traumatic event and that should impact how you

954
00:40:41,760 --> 00:40:45,120
Speaker 3: go forward from that. After that, that should be the

955
00:40:45,160 --> 00:40:49,320
Speaker 3: foil event for the Dallas Cowboys. They should be uber aggressive.

956
00:40:49,360 --> 00:40:52,280
Speaker 3: They should be doing things that they've never done before

957
00:40:52,440 --> 00:40:55,719
Speaker 3: because they don't want that to ever happen again. That's

958
00:40:55,800 --> 00:40:58,320
Speaker 3: how much that should have hurt. It hurt us.

959
00:40:58,800 --> 00:40:59,960
Speaker 7: I saw looking our eyes.

960
00:41:00,600 --> 00:41:02,680
Speaker 3: I've never seen a look in Jerry Jones's eyes like

961
00:41:02,719 --> 00:41:05,640
Speaker 3: I saw after that game. That pain right there should

962
00:41:05,680 --> 00:41:08,960
Speaker 3: affect everything that you do going forward, and to date

963
00:41:09,520 --> 00:41:10,120
Speaker 3: it hasn't.

964
00:41:11,080 --> 00:41:13,399
Speaker 7: We hope, we keep using that word every year.

965
00:41:13,760 --> 00:41:16,760
Speaker 3: We hope that it does going forward, but as of today,

966
00:41:17,320 --> 00:41:18,920
Speaker 3: it hasn't had enough of an impact.

967
00:41:19,000 --> 00:41:21,719
Speaker 2: I'm glad you brought that up because both John and

968
00:41:21,800 --> 00:41:25,080
Speaker 2: Nick saying it hasn't changed anything, and it won't change anything,

969
00:41:25,080 --> 00:41:27,880
Speaker 2: and nothing's going to change regardless, and you saying it

970
00:41:27,880 --> 00:41:30,920
Speaker 2: should change based off of how jarring and how dramatic

971
00:41:30,960 --> 00:41:34,560
Speaker 2: that entire sequence was losing to the Packers and getting

972
00:41:34,600 --> 00:41:35,759
Speaker 2: bounced the way that you did.

973
00:41:37,320 --> 00:41:41,040
Speaker 1: What does change even look like. I think change.

974
00:41:40,760 --> 00:41:44,239
Speaker 2: Would frustrate fans more than it would actually make them

975
00:41:44,280 --> 00:41:48,720
Speaker 2: excited moving forward. I think change would be trading Micah Parsons.

976
00:41:48,760 --> 00:41:51,520
Speaker 2: Change would be not extending Dak Prescott, leting him play

977
00:41:51,520 --> 00:41:53,400
Speaker 2: out the fifth year option and then he's gone at

978
00:41:53,400 --> 00:41:54,920
Speaker 2: the end of the year, next year or whatever it

979
00:41:55,000 --> 00:41:56,640
Speaker 2: ends up being, along with your head coach, along with

980
00:41:56,640 --> 00:41:58,759
Speaker 2: your defensive coordinator, along with one of your.

981
00:41:58,680 --> 00:42:01,800
Speaker 1: Top wide receivers, Deep Shepherd. You're one snapper.

982
00:42:01,880 --> 00:42:03,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's on a one year deal, so like that

983
00:42:03,440 --> 00:42:05,400
Speaker 2: one hurts that losing your deep Snapper.

984
00:42:05,960 --> 00:42:07,120
Speaker 1: That's what change would.

985
00:42:06,960 --> 00:42:09,600
Speaker 2: Look like as a whole as a blow up, as

986
00:42:09,640 --> 00:42:12,719
Speaker 2: a let's let's scrap this thing, take it out of

987
00:42:12,719 --> 00:42:14,520
Speaker 2: the fridge, or take it out of the microwave on

988
00:42:14,560 --> 00:42:15,640
Speaker 2: fire and throw it into the scene.

989
00:42:16,080 --> 00:42:17,160
Speaker 1: That's what that would look like.

990
00:42:17,239 --> 00:42:19,800
Speaker 6: It's easier, dude, nobody wants a lot of that. Yeah,

991
00:42:19,800 --> 00:42:22,160
Speaker 6: but it's easy to do a whole whole sale type

992
00:42:22,239 --> 00:42:25,600
Speaker 6: change like that. If the team's really bad exactly, you know,

993
00:42:25,680 --> 00:42:27,680
Speaker 6: but when it's just it's kind of in a spot

994
00:42:27,680 --> 00:42:29,640
Speaker 6: where you're like, you don't want to break it all

995
00:42:29,719 --> 00:42:32,560
Speaker 6: up because you feel like it's knocking on the door

996
00:42:32,760 --> 00:42:35,120
Speaker 6: or hanging around the rim. Then you don't want to

997
00:42:35,120 --> 00:42:36,640
Speaker 6: do that. And I feel like that's where they're at,

998
00:42:36,640 --> 00:42:38,440
Speaker 6: where they're just like, well, how can we sit here

999
00:42:38,480 --> 00:42:41,520
Speaker 6: and roll out twelve consecutive or three consecutive twelve win

1000
00:42:41,600 --> 00:42:42,839
Speaker 6: seasons if it's that bad?

1001
00:42:43,640 --> 00:42:45,399
Speaker 3: Yeah, but the thing is like jam Like it's kind

1002
00:42:45,400 --> 00:42:47,600
Speaker 3: of like fitness, right, like the fitness industry, and I

1003
00:42:47,600 --> 00:42:50,360
Speaker 3: know we all get our work out on like speak

1004
00:42:50,360 --> 00:42:50,840
Speaker 3: for yourself.

1005
00:42:50,960 --> 00:42:53,400
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, and.

1006
00:42:55,320 --> 00:42:57,960
Speaker 3: Most most listeners can probably you can probably relate to

1007
00:42:58,000 --> 00:43:00,400
Speaker 3: this if they have a consistent workout regiment.

1008
00:43:00,680 --> 00:43:01,960
Speaker 7: There's lulls that you hit.

1009
00:43:02,520 --> 00:43:05,360
Speaker 3: There's times where you're used to doing the same workouts,

1010
00:43:05,400 --> 00:43:07,960
Speaker 3: you know, International Chess Days, Monday, whatever it might be,

1011
00:43:08,400 --> 00:43:11,640
Speaker 3: and you're going through your regular workout regiments, right, and

1012
00:43:11,800 --> 00:43:14,600
Speaker 3: there's a lull. You can't get over a hump, right,

1013
00:43:14,680 --> 00:43:16,960
Speaker 3: you can't get to the physique you want, or you

1014
00:43:16,960 --> 00:43:19,440
Speaker 3: can't lose the body of five percentage that you want, right,

1015
00:43:19,680 --> 00:43:21,840
Speaker 3: But you're doing the same things. It's been working, right, Like,

1016
00:43:21,880 --> 00:43:24,200
Speaker 3: I know, if I keep doing this, I'll at least

1017
00:43:24,200 --> 00:43:26,919
Speaker 3: be here. But I don't want to just be here

1018
00:43:27,520 --> 00:43:29,480
Speaker 3: right And if I want something different, then I have

1019
00:43:29,600 --> 00:43:32,360
Speaker 3: not been attaining. Then I have to change up my regiment.

1020
00:43:32,840 --> 00:43:34,399
Speaker 3: I have to change my nutrition, I have to change

1021
00:43:34,440 --> 00:43:36,080
Speaker 3: up my work, and I gotta jege up my conditioning.

1022
00:43:36,280 --> 00:43:38,640
Speaker 3: There's something that has to change if I want to

1023
00:43:38,680 --> 00:43:40,319
Speaker 3: get to the level I haven't been.

1024
00:43:40,440 --> 00:43:42,919
Speaker 6: I get that, But my argument with that comp is that,

1025
00:43:43,880 --> 00:43:46,760
Speaker 6: but at least, if you're doing something in the gym,

1026
00:43:47,080 --> 00:43:48,680
Speaker 6: you're probably not all of a sudden going to show

1027
00:43:48,719 --> 00:43:49,960
Speaker 6: up and just like, man, I've been working out every

1028
00:43:50,040 --> 00:43:53,440
Speaker 6: day and I lost fifty pounds, I'm skinny, Like where

1029
00:43:53,480 --> 00:43:54,080
Speaker 6: did all this way go?

1030
00:43:54,440 --> 00:43:54,760
Speaker 1: Where?

1031
00:43:54,800 --> 00:43:57,440
Speaker 6: Like, there's not that downside or the opposite of it.

1032
00:43:57,480 --> 00:43:59,319
Speaker 6: You're not gonna work out every single day and be like, man,

1033
00:43:59,360 --> 00:44:01,400
Speaker 6: how did I gain seventy five pounds of fat? Like

1034
00:44:01,400 --> 00:44:02,920
Speaker 6: you're at least if you just show up every day,

1035
00:44:03,000 --> 00:44:05,040
Speaker 6: that's not gonna happen. There's no guarantee like that. When

1036
00:44:05,040 --> 00:44:07,360
Speaker 6: you're running an NFL team, you can be doing things

1037
00:44:07,400 --> 00:44:09,759
Speaker 6: all the time thinking that hey, I'm just showing up.

1038
00:44:09,920 --> 00:44:12,359
Speaker 6: I'm punching the clock, I'm showing up, and guys can

1039
00:44:12,360 --> 00:44:15,400
Speaker 6: get hurt. You can you cannot resign your franchise quarterback

1040
00:44:15,400 --> 00:44:17,040
Speaker 6: and then when he's gone, you can spend the next

1041
00:44:17,080 --> 00:44:19,440
Speaker 6: decade looking for another person like that. Like, that's not

1042
00:44:19,440 --> 00:44:21,160
Speaker 6: gonna happen in the gym if you just keep showing

1043
00:44:21,200 --> 00:44:23,000
Speaker 6: up every day, if you just keep showing up every day.

1044
00:44:23,000 --> 00:44:25,040
Speaker 6: In the NFL, there's no guarantee you'll get another Dak

1045
00:44:25,080 --> 00:44:27,200
Speaker 6: Prescott for the next decade if you let him go.

1046
00:44:27,320 --> 00:44:28,640
Speaker 6: So there is a downside to.

1047
00:44:28,600 --> 00:44:29,680
Speaker 7: That risk versus reward.

1048
00:44:29,800 --> 00:44:30,640
Speaker 6: Absolutely for sure.

1049
00:44:30,680 --> 00:44:34,000
Speaker 2: It's a motivation by John Macholda everybody. We just talked about,

1050
00:44:34,120 --> 00:44:36,920
Speaker 2: why get the gym. You're gonna be better if you

1051
00:44:36,920 --> 00:44:38,000
Speaker 2: get in the gym every day.

1052
00:44:38,200 --> 00:44:40,440
Speaker 6: If you go every day, you're gonna get good results.

1053
00:44:40,960 --> 00:44:42,560
Speaker 6: Saying you're gonna get some kind of results.

1054
00:44:42,600 --> 00:44:47,239
Speaker 3: We just talked about other competitive NFC. NFC teams, Yeah,

1055
00:44:47,520 --> 00:44:50,839
Speaker 3: rolling the dice, sure for sure. And sometimes you hit

1056
00:44:50,880 --> 00:44:52,960
Speaker 3: and usually said it, and sometimes you don't hit.

1057
00:44:53,320 --> 00:44:54,960
Speaker 7: The only way you know is if you wrote them down.

1058
00:44:55,360 --> 00:44:57,359
Speaker 6: To be honest with you, it's the one part of

1059
00:44:57,680 --> 00:45:01,160
Speaker 6: the franchise where it's it's this has been beaten to death,

1060
00:45:01,160 --> 00:45:03,160
Speaker 6: but it has to be set again. The big difference

1061
00:45:03,239 --> 00:45:05,560
Speaker 6: is that they have general managers that aren't the owner

1062
00:45:05,600 --> 00:45:07,880
Speaker 6: and that and whether you're you're hitting home runs or

1063
00:45:07,920 --> 00:45:10,080
Speaker 6: not in that position, that has to be pointed to

1064
00:45:10,200 --> 00:45:13,319
Speaker 6: because that is the one common difference between them. So

1065
00:45:13,360 --> 00:45:14,800
Speaker 6: it has to have some type of an impact.

1066
00:45:14,840 --> 00:45:16,439
Speaker 5: I think an argument can be made that they rolled

1067
00:45:16,480 --> 00:45:19,000
Speaker 5: a lot of dice last year and trading for Stefankill more,

1068
00:45:19,040 --> 00:45:22,759
Speaker 5: trading for Brandon Cooks, you know, restructuring Martin and giving

1069
00:45:22,840 --> 00:45:24,600
Speaker 5: him what he wanted at the end of training camp,

1070
00:45:24,840 --> 00:45:27,920
Speaker 5: pushing money back into this year for Dak Prescott. I mean,

1071
00:45:27,920 --> 00:45:30,200
Speaker 5: they've been all in for the last two to three.

1072
00:45:30,080 --> 00:45:30,440
Speaker 1: Years in there.

1073
00:45:30,600 --> 00:45:33,240
Speaker 6: And then here's the other the argument definitely.

1074
00:45:33,200 --> 00:45:35,440
Speaker 3: Last year was the most aggressive I've season a lot

1075
00:45:35,480 --> 00:45:37,400
Speaker 3: of time, and it put them in a great position.

1076
00:45:37,480 --> 00:45:39,839
Speaker 6: And another one I think about that too is if

1077
00:45:39,920 --> 00:45:42,960
Speaker 6: Mazie is solid and it helps improve the run game,

1078
00:45:43,040 --> 00:45:45,520
Speaker 6: like just to a point where like you would have

1079
00:45:45,560 --> 00:45:48,080
Speaker 6: that going into this offseason, like man like that we

1080
00:45:48,200 --> 00:45:50,360
Speaker 6: shored that up. That was a big issue. Now we

1081
00:45:50,400 --> 00:45:52,319
Speaker 6: can add on to that and everybody because you got

1082
00:45:52,360 --> 00:45:54,480
Speaker 6: nothing out of that pick, and now we're sitting here

1083
00:45:54,520 --> 00:45:57,120
Speaker 6: talking again about man, you need another run stopping defensive tackle.

1084
00:45:57,440 --> 00:45:59,000
Speaker 6: And this is a team that is draft and developed.

1085
00:45:59,000 --> 00:46:00,600
Speaker 6: When you have a draft class that you don't get

1086
00:46:00,600 --> 00:46:03,560
Speaker 6: anything out of in that season, yep, that's another thing

1087
00:46:03,560 --> 00:46:05,200
Speaker 6: that people will point to and be like, man, that

1088
00:46:05,200 --> 00:46:06,319
Speaker 6: that hurts big time, you know.

1089
00:46:06,520 --> 00:46:07,000
Speaker 1: And it does.

1090
00:46:07,200 --> 00:46:09,319
Speaker 2: It did hurt, yeah, because now you're looking at this

1091
00:46:09,400 --> 00:46:12,120
Speaker 2: draft class and you're saying, Okay, if you whiff on

1092
00:46:12,200 --> 00:46:14,880
Speaker 2: a draft class for the second straight year, which doesn't

1093
00:46:14,960 --> 00:46:16,960
Speaker 2: happen often. Like we said, this is a draft and
