30
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:02,040
Speaker 1: the biggest name you ran into on Super Bowl because

00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:03,960
Speaker 1: you were you were on radio road for a little bit.

32
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:05,560
Speaker 1: I met a lot of people. I was about to say,

33
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:08,840
Speaker 1: you were bouncing around. Um Man, where can I start?

34
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:19,480
Speaker 1: Um McNab, Brian Dawkins, Peanut Tillman, Warren Moon, Doug Williams,

35
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:27,000
Speaker 1: Larry Fitzgerald. That's a good one, especially in Glendale. Yeah, Man,

36
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:29,400
Speaker 1: a lot. I mean, I just it was everywhere. I

37
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:31,639
Speaker 1: mean I went to a lot of former player events,

38
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:36,800
Speaker 1: you know, career affairs, networking events, legends events like so

39
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:38,880
Speaker 1: there was players all over the place. Man, But there was.

40
00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:41,760
Speaker 1: There was guys everywhere, and everybody was so happy to

41
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:43,760
Speaker 1: see each other. You know, it's literally like a locker

42
00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:45,880
Speaker 1: room feeling. Even though you might not have shared locker

43
00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:48,000
Speaker 1: rooms with those guys, it was a locker room feeling.

44
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:50,720
Speaker 1: I saw a lot of X teammates from all over

45
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:53,200
Speaker 1: the place from my time here in Dallas from Seattle.

46
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:56,600
Speaker 1: I took a number of cowboys photos of Lusaka, Polite,

47
00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:02,239
Speaker 1: m Evan Oglesby, Core Proctor. I mean, the list goes

48
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:04,080
Speaker 1: on and on. There's just a bunch of Proctor was

49
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:05,840
Speaker 1: going to be out there. Yeah, problem, that's my dog,

50
00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:12,239
Speaker 1: that dude. But I mean there's just Nate Jones, Courtney Brown, Yeah,

51
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:15,000
Speaker 1: a lot of great now. Courtney Brown's doing referee to

52
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:18,720
Speaker 1: Yeah he's been dragging him in. Yeah he's been. He's

53
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:21,560
Speaker 1: been recruiting. So it's just awesome, man, to see everybody

54
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:24,920
Speaker 1: in a positive light, everybody having a good time, no drama,

55
00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:26,799
Speaker 1: you know, it's just just it's just cool, man. It

56
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:29,520
Speaker 1: looked like a lot of fun, and I liked you

57
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:32,200
Speaker 1: even put it out on your socials that there were

58
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:35,720
Speaker 1: resources available for four more players by the NFLPA. In

59
00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:38,640
Speaker 1: the NFL, I thought that was really really cool. Um,

60
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:41,080
Speaker 1: it really opens the door. I know Barry Church went

61
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:43,240
Speaker 1: out there too. Did you get to link up? But

62
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:44,800
Speaker 1: when I trying to have a Barry, I think he

63
00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:47,920
Speaker 1: was like in on a mountain somewhere, not in Arizona.

64
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:50,720
Speaker 1: I think he's in Colorado. He went to Aspen fast.

65
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:53,040
Speaker 1: I can't keep up with Barry, you know. I think

66
00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:55,560
Speaker 1: he bounced to Arizona and then went to Aspen. I

67
00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:58,440
Speaker 1: know he was there. Was Shan Lee I saw, yeah,

68
00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:02,200
Speaker 1: but a lot of a lot a lot of dude man. Um. Yeah,

69
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:04,160
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean I was really excited. I saw

70
00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:06,280
Speaker 1: DeMar Hamlin. That was pretty cool too. That's cool. He

71
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:10,400
Speaker 1: was running around ray Lewis ty Law, I mean, everybody

72
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:13,720
Speaker 1: that you can imagine was there. Everybody. That's awesome. Yeah,

73
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:16,840
Speaker 1: really cool. We'll congrats on a fun trip. Let's talk

74
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:19,760
Speaker 1: about what happened in that game. Okay, super Bowl won

75
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:22,559
Speaker 1: by the Kansas City Chiefs, second one in four years

76
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:24,840
Speaker 1: for Kansas City. One heck of a game, by the way.

77
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:26,800
Speaker 1: Heck of a game. Yeah, no doubt. The ending was

78
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:31,719
Speaker 1: a little anti climactic, sucked, but it was a big

79
00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:36,120
Speaker 1: time game. Yeah, what did you learn? Because there's there's

80
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:39,680
Speaker 1: every year we talk about this, Yes, especially since the

81
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:42,440
Speaker 1: Cowboys haven't been in the Super Bowl quite some time.

82
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:46,080
Speaker 1: You talk about what did you learn from the teams

83
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:48,920
Speaker 1: that made it, not even just the team that won it,

84
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:50,760
Speaker 1: But you can learn just as much from the Eagles

85
00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:52,880
Speaker 1: about what they learned. And I know I have a

86
00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:55,080
Speaker 1: feeling that you're probably gonna bring up something that you've

87
00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:58,279
Speaker 1: actually been hitting since the off season in terms of

88
00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:03,719
Speaker 1: being aggressive in certain areas of your roster building, But

89
00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:06,680
Speaker 1: in terms of the execution of the game, was there

90
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:10,880
Speaker 1: anything that stuck out? Andy Reid is Andy Reid. I mean,

91
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:14,200
Speaker 1: he's He's a freaking dude. I hate the fact they're

92
00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:16,479
Speaker 1: talking about retirement for him. I hope that doesn't happen.

93
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:18,880
Speaker 1: I don't see that. I don't see it happening anither.

94
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:22,360
Speaker 1: But Andy Reid is a freaking Jedi when it comes

95
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:26,000
Speaker 1: to offensive strategy. And I knew, I know, we were

96
00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:28,160
Speaker 1: making our projections and I picked the Eagles to win.

97
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:30,720
Speaker 1: They had their chance. They didn't take care of it.

98
00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:34,000
Speaker 1: But the one factor that I that I was hesitant

99
00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:35,480
Speaker 1: on in terms of score and all that stuff, is

100
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:37,520
Speaker 1: because any Reid, it's just he's just a factor that

101
00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:39,640
Speaker 1: you have to take into consideration. He is that he

102
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:43,440
Speaker 1: is as much of a weapon as Mahomes, if not more,

103
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:46,440
Speaker 1: simply because of the fact he knows how to skim

104
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:49,280
Speaker 1: things up. Two of their two of their touchdowns were

105
00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:53,320
Speaker 1: walking touchdowns were because of Andy Reid and him understanding

106
00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:58,000
Speaker 1: the responsibilities of the defense when we do this, they

107
00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:00,880
Speaker 1: do this, so we're going to do this like he

108
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:02,720
Speaker 1: just he just knows it right. So he's like the

109
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:04,560
Speaker 1: perfect example. He was bringing his guys down a short

110
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:07,080
Speaker 1: motion right the Kadarius Tony. We talked about that trade

111
00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:09,479
Speaker 1: and how that was major during the season when it happened,

112
00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:11,760
Speaker 1: were talking about it and he was gonna be huge

113
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:14,240
Speaker 1: for them. He was so. But he brought down a

114
00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:16,280
Speaker 1: short motion and he knows when you go from a

115
00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:18,640
Speaker 1: wide split down to a short split into a bunch,

116
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:22,000
Speaker 1: they bump over the coverage, they bump over the responsibilities

117
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:23,640
Speaker 1: as soon those as soon as those guys point their

118
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:26,040
Speaker 1: hand out, Darius Slay points his hand across. He knows

119
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:28,920
Speaker 1: snapped the ball. Because he just passed off the responsibility.

120
00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:31,320
Speaker 1: We're gonna go right back out. Nobody's gonna be responsible

121
00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:32,960
Speaker 1: for you because the guy that's responsible for you is

122
00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:35,480
Speaker 1: on the inside now and it's man to man there.

123
00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:38,520
Speaker 1: So he did that multiple times and he's just it

124
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:40,680
Speaker 1: just goes to his genius in terms of his preparation.

125
00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:42,600
Speaker 1: And you heard it after those guys won, What did

126
00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:46,520
Speaker 1: everybody say, freaking Patrick Mahomes and Andy Reid Patrick Mahomes,

127
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:48,839
Speaker 1: Andy Reid, Kelsey was loud about it, right, it's yelled

128
00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:50,760
Speaker 1: in front of mountaintops. And then on the under the

129
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:52,920
Speaker 1: flip side, you know, Kelsey was Kelsey by the way

130
00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:56,640
Speaker 1: as well, per usual. He's a matchup nightmare. But did

131
00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:59,640
Speaker 1: you flip it to the other side? And I mean

132
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:01,960
Speaker 1: Alan Hursts, I mean I noticed cowboys and we don't.

133
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:03,880
Speaker 1: Most people don't like talking about, you know, success of

134
00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:05,520
Speaker 1: the Eagles, But I think you have to put some

135
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:07,600
Speaker 1: respect on that dude's name. I really think you have

136
00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:09,880
Speaker 1: to put some success on some some respect on his name.

137
00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:13,280
Speaker 1: I think he proved a lot of doubters m wrong.

138
00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:15,800
Speaker 1: And I think regardless if you like him or not,

139
00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:19,840
Speaker 1: he earned everybody's respect. He earned my respect. He mean

140
00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:21,120
Speaker 1: this dude, I think you say he's twenty one to

141
00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:24,840
Speaker 1: twenty seven beamer. Um, you know one pass breakup, he

142
00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:28,200
Speaker 1: dropped some freaking dimes. And one thing that I that

143
00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:31,720
Speaker 1: I noticed, and I held it in a high regard.

144
00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:34,960
Speaker 1: I don't necessarily like it for Dallas, but those guys

145
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:38,640
Speaker 1: who are just consistent on offense, they're just consistent. They

146
00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:41,960
Speaker 1: don't need the big plays. They just worked the ball

147
00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:44,720
Speaker 1: down the field, and I think that they are very

148
00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:47,320
Speaker 1: dangerous from that perspective. All the moves that they made

149
00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:50,480
Speaker 1: defensively didn't pan out for them in that game. Their

150
00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:52,880
Speaker 1: defensive line, as deep as they were, they didn't have

151
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:56,400
Speaker 1: an impact on the game. You're talking Philadelphia, they did

152
00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:57,840
Speaker 1: not make an impact on the game. So that's where

153
00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:00,080
Speaker 1: they made a lot of their moveses in offseason and

154
00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:03,000
Speaker 1: in the season to bolster up that d line. It

155
00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:05,240
Speaker 1: didn't have an impact. They didn't get to Mahomes, they

156
00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:08,600
Speaker 1: didn't bother him back there in the backfield at least,

157
00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:11,440
Speaker 1: so but shout out to them. They made it there.

158
00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:13,760
Speaker 1: They had a chance. You know. You know, Dallas is

159
00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:15,480
Speaker 1: obviously hoping that they can do whatever they need to

160
00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:18,360
Speaker 1: do this offseason, whether that's an aggressive route or whether

161
00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:20,400
Speaker 1: that's Jerry Jones saying that he likes where he is

162
00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:23,480
Speaker 1: right there, right in the middle, and his statements, but

163
00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:25,320
Speaker 1: you know you'd like to see Dallas in that position

164
00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:28,200
Speaker 1: at least to have a chance at winning the Super Bowl.

165
00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:31,960
Speaker 1: So you bring up an interesting point because because of

166
00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:34,840
Speaker 1: Andy Reid and who he is as a play caller

167
00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:38,280
Speaker 1: and who he is as a coach, because yes, he's

168
00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:40,800
Speaker 1: in the all time great conversation now he has to

169
00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:42,719
Speaker 1: be because he's won a couple of Super Bowls and

170
00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:46,400
Speaker 1: he's done so in this fashion. I mean, outside of

171
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:50,400
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelsey, where are the names for

172
00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:55,679
Speaker 1: Kansas City? Offensively? Where are they? Isaiah Pacheco was your

173
00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:59,959
Speaker 1: best running back? Ye Juju Smith Schuster outside of Travis Kelsey,

174
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:01,960
Speaker 1: he was your guy. And I know that's a name,

175
00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:04,719
Speaker 1: but there's a reason he's not with Pittsburgh anymore. It's

176
00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:07,400
Speaker 1: because he was on the open market. Then he had Watson,

177
00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:11,040
Speaker 1: he had McKinnon, you had Gray, Tony sky Moore's a

178
00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:13,680
Speaker 1: draft pick. But for the most part, all of these

179
00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:17,760
Speaker 1: guys in a team that just won the Super Bowl,

180
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:20,000
Speaker 1: not just had a chance to win it, but one it.

181
00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:22,839
Speaker 1: A lot of them are retreads or they're under the

182
00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:27,320
Speaker 1: radar guys. Why are they successful so they're successful? One

183
00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:29,000
Speaker 1: because of any read you brought that up. They're also

184
00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:33,080
Speaker 1: successful because they have an identity. Okay that the Kansas

185
00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:36,280
Speaker 1: City Chiefs have an identity, and their identity is speed.

186
00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:40,560
Speaker 1: Everybody under name one slow receiver. No, they're all fast.

187
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:42,319
Speaker 1: They're all fast. You know who else? They've signed to

188
00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:45,319
Speaker 1: a futures contract this year, not to the maybe maybe

189
00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:48,199
Speaker 1: a month ago. John Ross, Oh, yeah, the one that

190
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:51,800
Speaker 1: broke the Yeah, broke the forty record at the Combine.

191
00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:53,520
Speaker 1: They signed him to a futures record. He didn't work

192
00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:56,840
Speaker 1: out in Cincinnati, but guess where he will work out? Yeah, yeah,

193
00:09:56,880 --> 00:09:59,439
Speaker 1: Kansas City. So when you talk about an identity in

194
00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:02,760
Speaker 1: a culture, that they know who they are and it

195
00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:04,640
Speaker 1: doesn't matter what you've done in your past. If you

196
00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:07,760
Speaker 1: have a particular skill set that we acknowledge and we admire,

197
00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:10,360
Speaker 1: we're gonna utilize it. So that's why they weren't stressing

198
00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:12,160
Speaker 1: when heel was gone. They're like, yeah, we're gonna miss

199
00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:14,720
Speaker 1: his presents, but we got other dudes, and in our system,

200
00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:18,240
Speaker 1: we can make you successful. As long as you're willing, capable,

201
00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:24,160
Speaker 1: and you're fast. You start looking at other teams. Most

202
00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:28,720
Speaker 1: teams don't have an identity on either side. Of the ball.

203
00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:31,360
Speaker 1: Dallas has an identity on defensive side of the ball.

204
00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:34,000
Speaker 1: What's that get after it? Okay, you got guys on

205
00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:35,920
Speaker 1: a D line that can get and get after it,

206
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:38,120
Speaker 1: fly to the ball, fly to the ball, fly around,

207
00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:41,320
Speaker 1: reckless abandonment. You got Fowler, you got you know, Sam

208
00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:43,560
Speaker 1: Williams A. You got all these guys that that's that's

209
00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:45,640
Speaker 1: an identity, right, you got some one guys that are

210
00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:48,319
Speaker 1: one on one, they're their matchup nightmares. They're gonna just

211
00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:53,400
Speaker 1: just relentless. Okay, that's your defensive identity. What's your offensive identity?

212
00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:56,599
Speaker 1: You lost it and you don't have it, So you

213
00:10:56,760 --> 00:11:01,160
Speaker 1: have wasn't it before running? Okay, back when when Dallas,

214
00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:03,880
Speaker 1: when I feel like Dallas was unstoppable offensively, and you

215
00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:05,720
Speaker 1: can even go back to last year. He was about

216
00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:07,559
Speaker 1: to say, it probably take a couple years. It's gonna say,

217
00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:10,840
Speaker 1: you've been going into twenty twenty two, and of course

218
00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:13,840
Speaker 1: with the result that had happened, you you made the playoffs,

219
00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:16,679
Speaker 1: you got a playoff wins. Great, but you didn't have

220
00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:19,280
Speaker 1: an identity enough to make a push. And that's kind

221
00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:21,600
Speaker 1: of where I was leading. When is the last time

222
00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:25,679
Speaker 1: this offense had an identity when you had Fredericks Travis

223
00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:28,920
Speaker 1: Frederick yep. Okay, that's when you had an identity because

224
00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:34,680
Speaker 1: teams feared your offensive line. Teams feared your offensive line.

225
00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:37,080
Speaker 1: They knew that when they came against the Dallas Cowboys,

226
00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:38,840
Speaker 1: you're gonna have to deal with the running game getting tired.

227
00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:41,600
Speaker 1: You're gonna get Zach Man, and then you've got Travis

228
00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:44,920
Speaker 1: Coons all a day long, no matter what, no matter

229
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:46,600
Speaker 1: what's going on in the game, you're gonna they gonna

230
00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:48,199
Speaker 1: Dallas is gonna do what turn around a hand the

231
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:50,640
Speaker 1: ball off? That would get them out of trouble, right,

232
00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:52,319
Speaker 1: and then you could pass off of that, right. We

233
00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:56,000
Speaker 1: all we've talked relentlessly about Dak being a play action quarterback. Okay,

234
00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:59,240
Speaker 1: that's not a bad connotation when I say that, that's

235
00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:01,400
Speaker 1: just what he does best. He's best when he has

236
00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:03,800
Speaker 1: an established running game. You can say Patrick Mahomes is

237
00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:06,960
Speaker 1: probably best when he has a play action but he'll

238
00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:10,000
Speaker 1: also throw the ballot say, well, he only threw a

239
00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:12,839
Speaker 1: twenty seven, one, two and three touchdowns and he's a

240
00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:15,400
Speaker 1: super Bowl. But they're dangerous even more so now because

241
00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:18,320
Speaker 1: they have a running game, which is kind of scary, right,

242
00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:21,160
Speaker 1: they never necessarily had to have one. Now they actually

243
00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:23,520
Speaker 1: have one, and they're even more dangerous. Yeah, they had

244
00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:25,679
Speaker 1: a first round pick running back who was inactive on

245
00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:29,679
Speaker 1: game day and it doesn't matter. Jesus. Yeah, So Dallas

246
00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:31,959
Speaker 1: has to get back to and I can't speak on

247
00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:33,920
Speaker 1: names because guys are still well, actually some guys that

248
00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:38,480
Speaker 1: are free, but there's some free agents and some potentially

249
00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:40,599
Speaker 1: upcoming guys that are going to be released and be

250
00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:45,599
Speaker 1: free agents that are mudling retirement, but that are just

251
00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:49,240
Speaker 1: dog on goons up front. And I think I hope

252
00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:51,680
Speaker 1: I can go back to that word, hope. I hope

253
00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:53,679
Speaker 1: that Dallas is looking at them, because I think that

254
00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:57,040
Speaker 1: they have to get back to establishing an identity as

255
00:12:57,120 --> 00:13:00,520
Speaker 1: an offense. Obviously you're making a change from killing regime

256
00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:04,040
Speaker 1: to the to the to why not just blank out

257
00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:06,920
Speaker 1: on coaches name. Jesus, you're talking about the shot him. No,

258
00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:10,040
Speaker 1: well yeah, you're shot Hyberbs McCarthy, McCarthy, McCarthy being a guy.

259
00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:14,160
Speaker 1: I almost called him Homeren Jesus, Wow, I know, Bay. Yeah,

260
00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:18,679
Speaker 1: but coach McCarthy, uh, their scheme, that's gonna be a

261
00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:20,840
Speaker 1: change enough, right, But now you have to look at

262
00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:24,400
Speaker 1: and say what can we rely on? And I don't

263
00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:27,800
Speaker 1: think Dallas has that right now. So that's something that

264
00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:30,520
Speaker 1: they have to go back and find and create that.

265
00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:33,599
Speaker 1: And I think the easiest way to get there is

266
00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:39,040
Speaker 1: by plugging two new offensive alignment into your offensive front. Goons,

267
00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:42,120
Speaker 1: though not just guys. I'm talking about spend the money.

268
00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:45,079
Speaker 1: If you're gonna spend the money this offseason, I know

269
00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:47,160
Speaker 1: everybody's gonna be looking for those big name free agents

270
00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:49,880
Speaker 1: that are skilled players and all that jazz, get some goal,

271
00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:53,240
Speaker 1: get the big nasties, spin on a freaking dog on

272
00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:56,559
Speaker 1: the defensive front, interior defensive alignment, and get two more

273
00:13:56,679 --> 00:13:59,240
Speaker 1: offensive alignment that are all pros. There have been all

274
00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:02,760
Speaker 1: pros in their career. Looking at free agent trackers, now,

275
00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:05,199
Speaker 1: I'm trying to find some some offensive lineman for you

276
00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:10,439
Speaker 1: to target. If that's the case where it's it's the

277
00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:13,199
Speaker 1: case of a missing identity, and you go out and

278
00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:16,520
Speaker 1: you build an identity, where do you think they would lean?

279
00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:20,000
Speaker 1: Do you think they would lean toward a run first only?

280
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:22,440
Speaker 1: And go back to what they did back Like you said,

281
00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:26,280
Speaker 1: we're in twenty eighteen, twenty seventeen, they had that identity

282
00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:29,760
Speaker 1: of course twenty sixteen, they'd certainly did too. I would

283
00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:31,840
Speaker 1: argue the last time they had an identity and they

284
00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:34,520
Speaker 1: were certainly feared on offense was because of the weapons

285
00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:38,440
Speaker 1: that they had in early twenty one, first six weeks

286
00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:40,960
Speaker 1: of the year up until Dak had the calf injury

287
00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:44,400
Speaker 1: against against New England. That's where I would argue because

288
00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:49,240
Speaker 1: that was that was an unstoppable offense in a so

289
00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:51,800
Speaker 1: so defense that was just starting to find their footing

290
00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:55,280
Speaker 1: with dan Quinn. If they could have paired this year's

291
00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:58,960
Speaker 1: defense with the first six years of offense with the

292
00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:01,480
Speaker 1: weapons that you had, I think you would have been fine.

293
00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:05,680
Speaker 1: I still so I agree with you in regard that

294
00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:07,760
Speaker 1: that offense was dangerous. You go back to twenty one

295
00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:10,160
Speaker 1: defense feared, Yeah, they were, they were, They were feared

296
00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:11,960
Speaker 1: as an offense. But I still don't think that they

297
00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:15,080
Speaker 1: had an identity. Okay, it was an so like I

298
00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:17,920
Speaker 1: would say, it's just explosive. Yeah, they can kill you.

299
00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:21,520
Speaker 1: They can kill you with the big play, big play. Yeah.

300
00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:24,240
Speaker 1: But when I speak about identity, it's like, what do

301
00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:26,840
Speaker 1: we have to deal with? Like is it is it

302
00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:29,760
Speaker 1: gonna be dink and dunk all day long? Is it

303
00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:31,440
Speaker 1: gonna be like a Tom Brady where he's getting the

304
00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:32,880
Speaker 1: ball out of his hands and he's gonna, you know,

305
00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:36,120
Speaker 1: gonna be high efficient and you gotta tackle guys. Is

306
00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:38,920
Speaker 1: it gonna be? You know, but they're not gonna make mistakes?

307
00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:41,680
Speaker 1: Is it gonna be? They're gonna run the ball of

308
00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:43,920
Speaker 1: the gut all day long? Like what is it that

309
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:47,040
Speaker 1: teams can expect to deal with when they face you?

310
00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:49,320
Speaker 1: And I don't know that Dallas has that? Now, the

311
00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:51,000
Speaker 1: defense had that in the first half of the year

312
00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:53,680
Speaker 1: when you just know, do not get in the passing situation?

313
00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:57,040
Speaker 1: Why because these dudes got they got too many guys right,

314
00:15:57,040 --> 00:15:58,960
Speaker 1: and they're gonna keep coming. They're gonna keep coming after you.

315
00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:00,760
Speaker 1: They're gonna make things hard for you as a quarterback.

316
00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:05,160
Speaker 1: Don't getting passing downs? That was identity on defense. Offensively,

317
00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:10,120
Speaker 1: feel like you're fishing. That doesn't mean that you're not

318
00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:13,360
Speaker 1: going to be successful, but being successful doesn't mean that

319
00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:16,640
Speaker 1: you necessarily have an established identity. Yeah, I see what

320
00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:18,520
Speaker 1: you're saying. Yeah, and I'm looking at some of the

321
00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:22,800
Speaker 1: offensive lineman now, Orlando Brown Junior, his market value right

322
00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:25,080
Speaker 1: now is like twenty two million, So that one's probably

323
00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:27,720
Speaker 1: if you're going this has been the money. Sure, but

324
00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:32,200
Speaker 1: that's a lot of money. Rodney Hudson, George Fan, Connor McGovern,

325
00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:34,440
Speaker 1: but not our Conor McGovern, the one from New York,

326
00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:38,160
Speaker 1: the Center, a couple other centers, I mean, Jason Kelsey,

327
00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:43,320
Speaker 1: he's probably he's talking about retirement. Justin Pugh, Matt pryor

328
00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:50,960
Speaker 1: cam Irving, you remember that name, m Austin Blythe Brandon Parker,

329
00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:54,280
Speaker 1: Nick Gates. That's that's pretty much your guys. And there's

330
00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:55,720
Speaker 1: some there's some more guys that are about to be

331
00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:58,560
Speaker 1: relieved of their contracts. Sure, they're gonna be cap casualties

332
00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:00,280
Speaker 1: and you can kind of work from there the pins

333
00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:02,240
Speaker 1: on it, but it's it's always tough. Maybe we could

334
00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:04,240
Speaker 1: just go sign a Nate Newton who just texted me.

335
00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:07,159
Speaker 1: That's awful. He said, nice to old lineman. So he

336
00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:10,040
Speaker 1: agrees with you. He wants he wants to offensive linemen.

337
00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:12,160
Speaker 1: There you go. All right, let's take our first break

Speaker 1: the cheetahs. Savannah Todd believed the big cat repellent he

360
00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:30,280
Speaker 1: bought online was reliable, and now Todd is trying to

361
00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:32,760
Speaker 1: be faster than this cheetah that can run eighty miles

362
00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:35,200
Speaker 1: per hour. But the good news is Todd has at

392
00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:19,520
Speaker 1: you're back on talking cowboys. How's it going? Hey? What's

393
00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:21,720
Speaker 1: going on? Guys? Hey? Is it? What's your protiction last

394
00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:30,280
Speaker 1: week about? Oh? Absolutely, what happened. I was wrong. It

395
00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:33,720
Speaker 1: was close game. It happened, guys. I was wrong, But

396
00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:37,000
Speaker 1: it was a close game. It wasn't I honestly didn't

397
00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:39,040
Speaker 1: care who won, but I was obviously if I was

398
00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:40,800
Speaker 1: rooting for one, I would say that did you cry

399
00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:42,800
Speaker 1: that night? Because you said you were cheering for the Eagles,

400
00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:44,280
Speaker 1: not even a little bit a little bit of tears.

401
00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:46,160
Speaker 1: Kids kept asking me. They're like, who we're going for them?

402
00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:48,760
Speaker 1: Like it doesn't matter, Like it doesn't matter, it does matter,

403
00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:51,560
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter, it absolutely matter. Does it put a

404
00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:55,560
Speaker 1: ring on Dallas's finger? No, but it's close enough. Yeah, No,

405
00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:58,159
Speaker 1: it doesn't put a ring on the Eagles. No, I

406
00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:02,119
Speaker 1: didn't know, did not. So they Cowboys definitely go, we

407
00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:05,840
Speaker 1: you're exactly right. We uh, we need some different offensive linement.

408
00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:09,320
Speaker 1: And I say we need another receiver. Yeah. No, that's

409
00:21:09,320 --> 00:21:12,359
Speaker 1: a huge topic of conversation. There's so there's there's two

410
00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:15,840
Speaker 1: receivers that Dallas has already invested in terms of the

411
00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:18,560
Speaker 1: draft that you haven't had any production out of Jalen

412
00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:21,080
Speaker 1: Tilbert and send me for sim Yeah, so you've got

413
00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:23,080
Speaker 1: two guys that are there. If I don't know what's

414
00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:24,960
Speaker 1: gonna happen with T, why Hilton but T Why Hilton

415
00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:27,080
Speaker 1: came in and did his job? Yes he did. He

416
00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:29,159
Speaker 1: came in and did his job. Thank you, Mike for

417
00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:31,600
Speaker 1: thank by the way, thanks Mike. So he came in

418
00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:33,200
Speaker 1: and did his job. So in terms of receiver, I

419
00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:35,920
Speaker 1: don't disagree with you that Mike, that that Dallas needs

420
00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:39,480
Speaker 1: to go out and acquire probably a veteran receiver. I

421
00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:42,960
Speaker 1: don't think that they need to be overly aggressive though

422
00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:45,720
Speaker 1: in terms of spending a bunch at that position, I

423
00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:50,680
Speaker 1: would not spend a bunch at the receiver position just

424
00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:53,480
Speaker 1: to ask some explosion because when you look at it,

425
00:21:53,600 --> 00:22:00,159
Speaker 1: in reality, Dallas leans on the ground game first. So

426
00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:04,399
Speaker 1: if you're not dominant in your primary, then why are

427
00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:08,680
Speaker 1: you going to bolster your secondary. When I see a secondary,

428
00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:12,680
Speaker 1: your secondary threat, your secondary weapons, which is your receivers. Okay,

429
00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:16,120
Speaker 1: I think you need to bolster your primary. You need

430
00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:18,159
Speaker 1: a running game for your quarterback to be who he

431
00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:21,879
Speaker 1: is to play Devil's advocate. Here. You look at one

432
00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:23,640
Speaker 1: of the teams that was just in the Super Bowl

433
00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:27,600
Speaker 1: in Philadelphia last year. They were number one in the

434
00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:32,080
Speaker 1: NFL and rushing rushing yards per game totality. They were

435
00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:35,240
Speaker 1: a volume ground team. Part of that was because their

436
00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:37,560
Speaker 1: quarterback Jalen Hurts could run the ball as officially as

437
00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:40,760
Speaker 1: he does. But with that being said, they had multiple guys.

438
00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:42,920
Speaker 1: They had Miles Sanders, they had Boston Scott, they have

439
00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:45,960
Speaker 1: Kenneth Gainwell that they can use as a running back.

440
00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:49,560
Speaker 1: And what do they do in the offseason to bolster

441
00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:53,160
Speaker 1: that offense. They went out and they got you a dog. Absolutely,

442
00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:55,200
Speaker 1: they went out and got a j Brown, who, by

443
00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:58,800
Speaker 1: the way, probably the most underrated receiver in the NFL.

444
00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:01,960
Speaker 1: Still the play he had on the deep ball on

445
00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:03,960
Speaker 1: the on the touchdown where he kind of stutter stepped

446
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:06,240
Speaker 1: and backed his defender off and then turned into another

447
00:23:06,359 --> 00:23:10,240
Speaker 1: gear phenomenal. There are so many things that they could

448
00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:13,359
Speaker 1: have done this offseason, but what they did is they

449
00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:15,439
Speaker 1: traded a first round pick and they went and got

450
00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:17,880
Speaker 1: a dude. Absolutely. I don't I don't disagree. I think

451
00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:21,679
Speaker 1: it wouldn't hurt because, yes, you have invested in Jaylen Tilbert,

452
00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:25,680
Speaker 1: who has showed you absolutely nothing. You invested in Simi

453
00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:27,439
Speaker 1: Phohoco put a little bit less he was a mid

454
00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:31,840
Speaker 1: round pick, absolutely nothing. You have had zero from those

455
00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:34,720
Speaker 1: two guys, Simi in two years Jaylen in one year.

456
00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:37,119
Speaker 1: Doesn't mean you have to cut those guys, but it

457
00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:39,440
Speaker 1: doesn't mean you have to rely on them either. So

458
00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:41,480
Speaker 1: go get you a first round receiver if you like

459
00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:44,760
Speaker 1: one enough. If you don't like one enough, I am

460
00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:48,440
Speaker 1: one hundred percent okay doing the Amari Cooper and going

461
00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:50,680
Speaker 1: and taking that first round pick that's sitting at twenty

462
00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:53,760
Speaker 1: six and going and getting the guy, Go and find one.

463
00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:55,760
Speaker 1: I'm not saying there's one out there that or a

464
00:23:55,840 --> 00:23:57,320
Speaker 1: team out there that would be willing to do that.

465
00:23:57,840 --> 00:24:00,520
Speaker 1: I'm not talking about a specific player, but go get

466
00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:02,920
Speaker 1: you a dude that's established that you know can come

467
00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:05,639
Speaker 1: in and turn this offense on its head, and then

468
00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:07,320
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, you've got another weapon for your

469
00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:11,600
Speaker 1: quarterback to throw too. I wouldn't disagree with you if

470
00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:18,480
Speaker 1: Dallas's front was established away that you want them to be. Okay,

471
00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:22,640
Speaker 1: you're probably not gonna get You might get a top

472
00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:25,680
Speaker 1: end guard in the draft, your top end tackles are

473
00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:28,040
Speaker 1: going to be far gone by top Get a Pro

474
00:24:28,119 --> 00:24:31,560
Speaker 1: Bowl center then, okay, I don't know if there is one. Okay,

475
00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:33,000
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know that one's see what

476
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:36,360
Speaker 1: I'm saying, But like, you need to control that aspect

477
00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:38,520
Speaker 1: of the game because so much of everything else that

478
00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:42,040
Speaker 1: you want to do is dependent on it. I am

479
00:24:42,119 --> 00:24:43,920
Speaker 1: not against going to get a receiver that can go

480
00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:45,639
Speaker 1: out there and make impact, but if you can't establish

481
00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:48,160
Speaker 1: your running game, you know that you have a quarterback

482
00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:50,360
Speaker 1: who's not necessarily gonna drop back and throwing forty times

483
00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:52,160
Speaker 1: and throw you to a victory. That's not his thing.

484
00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:55,919
Speaker 1: So so having those weapons. It wasn't Jalen hurts thing

485
00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:58,080
Speaker 1: either though. But they had a running game. You already

486
00:24:58,080 --> 00:25:00,719
Speaker 1: said last year they establish your running game, So they

487
00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:04,240
Speaker 1: were adding on to what was already established. Sure Dallas

488
00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:07,080
Speaker 1: hasn't established the running you know what I'm saying, like, Yeah,

489
00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:08,760
Speaker 1: so that's what I'm refirst So that's what I'm saying, like,

490
00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:11,399
Speaker 1: don't don't want to go back the physicality of finding

491
00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:14,560
Speaker 1: because we're not talking about Tony Pollard and zek Because

492
00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:16,920
Speaker 1: if you have Tony Pollard back in the fold, he's

493
00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:18,920
Speaker 1: electrifying in his own right. He's going to find a

494
00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:23,520
Speaker 1: way to get yardage. But in order to control a game,

495
00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:26,399
Speaker 1: you need the physicality of her and no disrespect to

496
00:25:26,480 --> 00:25:29,399
Speaker 1: the position. There's a lot that running backs do obviously,

497
00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:31,520
Speaker 1: when even when you look at the difference between that,

498
00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:34,080
Speaker 1: I mean, between Zeke and Pollard, they have two different

499
00:25:34,119 --> 00:25:36,520
Speaker 1: skill sets and the reason why Zeke is still very valuable,

500
00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:38,399
Speaker 1: valuable is because the things he doesn't do when he's

501
00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:42,679
Speaker 1: not running the ball. Okay, but this league is starting

502
00:25:42,720 --> 00:25:45,320
Speaker 1: to get to the point where if you have your front,

503
00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:49,119
Speaker 1: there's a lot of very skilled running backs that can

504
00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:52,639
Speaker 1: tote the ball for you. Running the ball is not

505
00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:56,440
Speaker 1: an issue for most running backs if they have holes

506
00:25:56,720 --> 00:25:59,160
Speaker 1: see other stuff. It's the other stuff. So in terms

507
00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:02,000
Speaker 1: of finding somebody who capable of running the ball, you

508
00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:05,680
Speaker 1: can find that. So you could really invest less there

509
00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:08,960
Speaker 1: and bolster your front and then you can plug and

510
00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:11,920
Speaker 1: play at that position for the running portion of it.

511
00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:14,359
Speaker 1: Not the blocking and all the other pass catching all that,

512
00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:17,440
Speaker 1: that's all different. But running the ball. There's a gazillion

513
00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:19,440
Speaker 1: dudes in the draft or even that after the draft

514
00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:21,160
Speaker 1: that you can get that can run the ball. Yeah,

515
00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:25,400
Speaker 1: if you have the holes, but Malie Davis, he's a piece. Yeah.

516
00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:27,960
Speaker 1: And if you have an old line that can create holes,

517
00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:31,120
Speaker 1: he's gonna run through them things. Yeah. So I don't

518
00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:33,120
Speaker 1: want to discredit that position, right, But I'm just saying,

519
00:26:33,359 --> 00:26:35,399
Speaker 1: if you take care of your front office line and

520
00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:38,080
Speaker 1: make those guys dominant, you can do whatever you want.

521
00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:40,360
Speaker 1: It gives you the freedom to do what you want

522
00:26:40,359 --> 00:26:42,560
Speaker 1: to do. But if you have a couple pieces there,

523
00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:45,440
Speaker 1: a couple pieces here, a couple pieces there, then you

524
00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:48,439
Speaker 1: just you're week the week you're trying to change up

525
00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:51,600
Speaker 1: who you are. Yeah, you've got to find, like you said,

526
00:26:51,760 --> 00:26:54,760
Speaker 1: an identity, and it just depends on which route you go.

527
00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:56,200
Speaker 1: You gotta go one way or the other. You either

528
00:26:56,200 --> 00:26:58,240
Speaker 1: got to be physical and run the football or you

529
00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:02,040
Speaker 1: gotta be over weaponized outside. I give you a perfect

530
00:27:02,040 --> 00:27:04,560
Speaker 1: example when you face the Washington Commanders. What is the

531
00:27:04,600 --> 00:27:06,440
Speaker 1: one thing as an offense that you know you're just

532
00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:10,800
Speaker 1: not gonna be able to do as an offense going

533
00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:13,760
Speaker 1: against the Commanders? Run up the middle? Why because they've

534
00:27:13,760 --> 00:27:16,679
Speaker 1: got two dudes in the middle. Just payin and Alan.

535
00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:19,120
Speaker 1: What do they invest there? You've even got Chase Young

536
00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:21,360
Speaker 1: on the outside when he's healthy. So when they invested

537
00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:25,560
Speaker 1: their their money and their draft picks into a certain position, yeah, right,

538
00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:29,560
Speaker 1: a certain that fronts that front line, it automatically takes

539
00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:32,560
Speaker 1: away something that offense could do against you. Yeah, straight

540
00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:34,920
Speaker 1: off the board, done. We negate you to just throwing

541
00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:39,439
Speaker 1: the ball offensively. If you do that, all of a sudden,

542
00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:41,320
Speaker 1: what can you do? You can we can move anybody

543
00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:44,160
Speaker 1: off the ball. That means we're always in good down

544
00:27:44,200 --> 00:27:46,920
Speaker 1: a distance. Yeah, you're gonna win first and second down,

545
00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:49,200
Speaker 1: which is what Mike McCarthy always wants to do. So

546
00:27:49,280 --> 00:27:50,879
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, like, if you take care of that,

547
00:27:51,080 --> 00:27:53,840
Speaker 1: you have so many available options. Now you don't have

548
00:27:54,040 --> 00:27:56,080
Speaker 1: to have all the explosive receivers because most of your

549
00:27:56,080 --> 00:27:58,640
Speaker 1: receivers can get you five yard routes and ten yard routes.

550
00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:00,720
Speaker 1: You know, you don't have to have these explosive guys.

551
00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:02,320
Speaker 1: Now you would like to have them, but there's not

552
00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:06,720
Speaker 1: a necessity, so you could make things happen. McCarthy didn't

553
00:28:06,760 --> 00:28:09,600
Speaker 1: have a ton of amazing receivers when he was out there, right,

554
00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:12,520
Speaker 1: but because his running game was so good, everybody was

555
00:28:12,800 --> 00:28:14,960
Speaker 1: was accessible. You're talking about it in Green Bay? Yeah,

556
00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:17,240
Speaker 1: in Green Bay. Yeah, he never Yeah, So you know

557
00:28:17,240 --> 00:28:18,680
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. So it just it makes you like

558
00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:21,359
Speaker 1: Damante Adams, he had Jordan Nelson. I mean, they had

559
00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:23,359
Speaker 1: some guys. If I was if I was a gem,

560
00:28:23,520 --> 00:28:25,960
Speaker 1: which I don't think I'm going into them. If I

561
00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:28,040
Speaker 1: was a gem, maybe maybe next Super Bowl. If you

562
00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:31,120
Speaker 1: can net work better, my offensive a defensive lines would

563
00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:34,720
Speaker 1: be unstoppable. I would have so much invested there that

564
00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:36,639
Speaker 1: worst case scenario, We're just gonna line up a hit

565
00:28:36,680 --> 00:28:38,880
Speaker 1: you in the mouth. Yeah, worst case scenario if we

566
00:28:38,920 --> 00:28:40,680
Speaker 1: don't have any other money to use. I mean, obviously

567
00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:42,400
Speaker 1: you want to make sure other positions are taking care of.

568
00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:44,920
Speaker 1: But worst case scenario, you got the lineup and going

569
00:28:44,920 --> 00:28:48,200
Speaker 1: against my best, my best linement. Look at what Kansas

570
00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:51,240
Speaker 1: City did. They allowed zero sacks against that team, and

571
00:28:51,280 --> 00:28:52,720
Speaker 1: it took away at the strength of the defense. They

572
00:28:52,760 --> 00:28:55,960
Speaker 1: invested and they invested all that money. Win last year. Yeah,

573
00:28:56,040 --> 00:28:58,600
Speaker 1: while back last year, but four of their five starting

574
00:28:58,680 --> 00:29:02,479
Speaker 1: offensive linement last year all new, all new. They invested

575
00:29:02,480 --> 00:29:04,840
Speaker 1: that money last year and they paid off. Win this year,

576
00:29:05,560 --> 00:29:07,440
Speaker 1: still got him to a championship game last year too.

577
00:29:07,640 --> 00:29:11,440
Speaker 1: Yeah right, let's go to Kenton, New Mexico. You're on

578
00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:15,320
Speaker 1: talking Cowboys Kent's what's up? Good morning, Gis, How are

579
00:29:15,320 --> 00:29:19,120
Speaker 1: you doing great? How are you not too bad? Yeah?

580
00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:21,000
Speaker 1: My concern this year is what are we going to

581
00:29:21,080 --> 00:29:24,280
Speaker 1: do with the salary cap hit from Dak Prescott. And

582
00:29:25,760 --> 00:29:27,160
Speaker 1: you know that's going to really limit what we can

583
00:29:27,240 --> 00:29:29,000
Speaker 1: do in free agency and how many of our own

584
00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:32,000
Speaker 1: free agents we can keep. And it really makes you

585
00:29:32,080 --> 00:29:35,520
Speaker 1: want to question how committed he is to winning a

586
00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:39,720
Speaker 1: championship because we want to compare him not skill wise

587
00:29:39,760 --> 00:29:42,200
Speaker 1: to Patrick Mahomes. But look at what Patrick Mahomes did

588
00:29:42,240 --> 00:29:44,560
Speaker 1: when he could have held the Kansas City Chiefs hostage

589
00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:49,680
Speaker 1: over his contracts, and he chose to take a very

590
00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:53,040
Speaker 1: very long term, ten year contract did not maximize his

591
00:29:53,120 --> 00:29:55,920
Speaker 1: earning potential by any means. And he did so because

592
00:29:55,960 --> 00:29:58,520
Speaker 1: he said he wanted to keep a championship a team

593
00:29:58,560 --> 00:30:01,520
Speaker 1: around him, and he knew that the team had to

594
00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:03,880
Speaker 1: have the capital to do that, and he wanted to

595
00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:06,800
Speaker 1: compete for championships. And he put his money where his

596
00:30:06,880 --> 00:30:09,640
Speaker 1: mouth is and left his team with a lot of

597
00:30:09,720 --> 00:30:12,840
Speaker 1: room toward a lot of flexibility in his contract to

598
00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:14,840
Speaker 1: do exactly what he said he wanted to do, which

599
00:30:14,920 --> 00:30:17,680
Speaker 1: was compete for championships. And he just got his second Yeah,

600
00:30:18,200 --> 00:30:19,800
Speaker 1: you know, I love Dak, but he said he wants

601
00:30:19,840 --> 00:30:22,160
Speaker 1: to win championships, and then he goes out and wants

602
00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:26,320
Speaker 1: to maximize his potential short contract and then turn around

603
00:30:26,360 --> 00:30:29,000
Speaker 1: and do it again and hold him hostage again to

604
00:30:29,080 --> 00:30:32,680
Speaker 1: max out his earning potential a second time and then

605
00:30:32,720 --> 00:30:36,680
Speaker 1: a third time. You know that really hamstrings the Cowboys

606
00:30:36,720 --> 00:30:39,840
Speaker 1: ability to keep the team intact and to go and

607
00:30:39,920 --> 00:30:43,320
Speaker 1: be aggressive in pre agency. Thank you for your call.

608
00:30:43,400 --> 00:30:46,560
Speaker 1: Can't really appreciate it. I do. I want to take

609
00:30:46,640 --> 00:30:48,000
Speaker 1: some of the stuff that you said there and I

610
00:30:48,040 --> 00:30:49,520
Speaker 1: want to I want to break it down a little

611
00:30:49,560 --> 00:30:52,840
Speaker 1: bit because you're talking about the cap hit for each

612
00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:59,080
Speaker 1: of these these guys moving forward. I disagree on the

613
00:30:59,160 --> 00:31:02,640
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes argument because his cap hit last year was

614
00:31:02,720 --> 00:31:05,480
Speaker 1: thirty five million dollars. He signed the richest deal in

615
00:31:05,680 --> 00:31:10,760
Speaker 1: NFL history ten years, four hundred and fifty million dollars.

616
00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:13,840
Speaker 1: That's a half a billion that he signed. And yeah,

617
00:31:13,880 --> 00:31:16,080
Speaker 1: it's over ten years, but his cap hit was thirty

618
00:31:16,120 --> 00:31:19,160
Speaker 1: five point seven. In twenty twenty two, Dax was nineteen

619
00:31:19,240 --> 00:31:22,320
Speaker 1: point seven, so half, and he's still won a Super Bowl.

620
00:31:23,240 --> 00:31:27,560
Speaker 1: Patrick did with thirty five point seven. Now Dax balloons

621
00:31:27,600 --> 00:31:29,640
Speaker 1: to forty nine, and we all know that that's the

622
00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:33,320
Speaker 1: big number, and it does. It limits you in terms

623
00:31:33,360 --> 00:31:35,760
Speaker 1: of what you can do from a cap situation hit

624
00:31:36,120 --> 00:31:40,720
Speaker 1: And what's Patrick's next year forty six? So it's right there.

625
00:31:40,920 --> 00:31:43,600
Speaker 1: It's like very it's within a couple million dollars with

626
00:31:43,720 --> 00:31:46,200
Speaker 1: the ring. But he does have a ring, yes, no doubt.

627
00:31:46,720 --> 00:31:50,400
Speaker 1: But that's what I'm saying. Like this year, da salary,

628
00:31:50,600 --> 00:31:52,880
Speaker 1: das cap hit was half of Patrick Mahomes, and it

629
00:31:52,960 --> 00:31:55,320
Speaker 1: still ended up in a ring. There's ways that you

630
00:31:55,440 --> 00:31:58,560
Speaker 1: can lower dax contract. And the way you do that

631
00:31:58,640 --> 00:32:00,960
Speaker 1: as you extend him and you put him, you push

632
00:32:01,040 --> 00:32:04,080
Speaker 1: him past the four years. He has the greatest Patrick

633
00:32:04,120 --> 00:32:07,720
Speaker 1: Myhomes has the greatest roster bonus of all time. His

634
00:32:07,920 --> 00:32:11,600
Speaker 1: roster bonus this year wasn't no coming up, so its

635
00:32:11,640 --> 00:32:16,800
Speaker 1: roster Brooks. It's probably what January, first first day of

636
00:32:16,840 --> 00:32:21,080
Speaker 1: the new year, right, thirty four million dollars. My goodness.

637
00:32:21,480 --> 00:32:25,280
Speaker 1: His one last year was twenty seven. Salary is five

638
00:32:25,360 --> 00:32:30,600
Speaker 1: point five million. Yeah, it's all cash right up front. Yeah,

639
00:32:30,720 --> 00:32:32,800
Speaker 1: and it's still it's still cap hits. I mean, it's

640
00:32:32,800 --> 00:32:36,600
Speaker 1: still kind of plays into it. Here's the next ten

641
00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:39,960
Speaker 1: years basically for Patrick Mahomes forty four, forty six, forty

642
00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:44,280
Speaker 1: one fifty nine point nine, so sixteen million dollars in

643
00:32:44,360 --> 00:32:46,720
Speaker 1: twenty twenty seven, which, by the way, by the time

644
00:32:46,760 --> 00:32:49,280
Speaker 1: the salary cap continues to balloon, that will probably be

645
00:32:49,360 --> 00:32:53,120
Speaker 1: a normal number forty four, forty four point nine fifty

646
00:32:53,560 --> 00:32:57,200
Speaker 1: fifty two point four four in twenty one or twenty

647
00:32:57,840 --> 00:33:00,440
Speaker 1: twenty thirty one. That's his last year. But you know,

648
00:33:00,840 --> 00:33:03,120
Speaker 1: so it kind of goes back and thanks for the call.

649
00:33:03,680 --> 00:33:05,360
Speaker 1: It goes back to where we're talking about in terms

650
00:33:05,360 --> 00:33:07,400
Speaker 1: of identity though, So when you think about the Kansas

651
00:33:07,400 --> 00:33:10,640
Speaker 1: City Chiefs, they can afford those cap hits like that

652
00:33:10,760 --> 00:33:16,560
Speaker 1: because having high caliber players aren't as as much of

653
00:33:16,600 --> 00:33:18,960
Speaker 1: a necessity because you have that identity and you have

654
00:33:19,040 --> 00:33:22,280
Speaker 1: a system that's established. Yeah. Right, So you don't need

655
00:33:23,040 --> 00:33:24,640
Speaker 1: the big name guys that you're gonna that you have

656
00:33:24,720 --> 00:33:26,479
Speaker 1: to go spend a bunch of money on. You can

657
00:33:26,520 --> 00:33:28,840
Speaker 1: sign futures contracts to guys who didn't work out other

658
00:33:28,880 --> 00:33:30,800
Speaker 1: places because you know you can bring them into your

659
00:33:30,840 --> 00:33:35,280
Speaker 1: system and make them successful. Yeah, Mahomes elevates them now, Yes, yeah, No,

660
00:33:35,320 --> 00:33:37,680
Speaker 1: I'm saying Dallas is them there. Dallas is in the

661
00:33:37,760 --> 00:33:41,080
Speaker 1: position now where you're stressing. You're stressing over the cap

662
00:33:41,120 --> 00:33:42,720
Speaker 1: because you're like, man, we still got it. We have

663
00:33:42,840 --> 00:33:44,240
Speaker 1: all these needs and we got it. We need guys

664
00:33:44,280 --> 00:33:45,479
Speaker 1: that can help us do this and guys that can

665
00:33:45,480 --> 00:33:47,640
Speaker 1: help us do this. And they're not alone in that fact.

666
00:33:48,080 --> 00:33:52,480
Speaker 1: Thirty other teams in the NFL cities not stressing. No,

667
00:33:52,680 --> 00:33:55,480
Speaker 1: they got a ring. Yeah, and they keep finding themselves

668
00:33:55,480 --> 00:33:58,960
Speaker 1: in that same position. Right. The other thing about the

669
00:33:59,080 --> 00:34:02,080
Speaker 1: coaching staff and what we've talked about. We praised this

670
00:34:02,200 --> 00:34:04,600
Speaker 1: coaching staff for what they did this year. Yeah, because

671
00:34:04,640 --> 00:34:08,160
Speaker 1: they made it work whenever things weren't necessarily stacked up

672
00:34:08,200 --> 00:34:10,920
Speaker 1: in their failure. Yeah, they did things that were able

673
00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:14,800
Speaker 1: to elevate their roster above the expectations. Before the year started,

674
00:34:15,120 --> 00:34:17,160
Speaker 1: I said ten and seven. I think you said nine

675
00:34:17,200 --> 00:34:20,640
Speaker 1: and eight. It was it wasn't We thought, based off

676
00:34:20,640 --> 00:34:22,520
Speaker 1: of the off season year ago, they were going to

677
00:34:22,600 --> 00:34:24,480
Speaker 1: take a step back. Correct. Instead, what did they do?

678
00:34:24,600 --> 00:34:28,160
Speaker 1: They actually had a better year. Yeah, because of some

679
00:34:28,320 --> 00:34:30,440
Speaker 1: of the ways that they kind of adjusted as a

680
00:34:30,480 --> 00:34:32,680
Speaker 1: season went along. Credits to the coaching staff in that

681
00:34:32,760 --> 00:34:36,839
Speaker 1: regard as well. But do we have the same kind

682
00:34:36,880 --> 00:34:40,200
Speaker 1: of confidence that this coaching staff and the quarterback can

683
00:34:40,400 --> 00:34:45,560
Speaker 1: elevate those guys around you enough to say, Okay, talent wise,

684
00:34:45,680 --> 00:34:48,480
Speaker 1: we may not stack up the same on paper, but

685
00:34:48,640 --> 00:34:51,160
Speaker 1: are we going to still have success? I don't think

686
00:34:51,200 --> 00:34:53,400
Speaker 1: that confidence is there, and I don't I don't want

687
00:34:53,440 --> 00:34:56,160
Speaker 1: to keep beating, you know, the drum on the same thing.

688
00:34:56,280 --> 00:34:59,080
Speaker 1: But you don't know who you are. No, you don't

689
00:34:59,120 --> 00:35:01,239
Speaker 1: know who you are. So when you don't know who

690
00:35:01,360 --> 00:35:04,520
Speaker 1: you are, you're looking for a splash, you're looking for

691
00:35:04,640 --> 00:35:07,000
Speaker 1: a big name that's gonna come in and change. Oh

692
00:35:07,160 --> 00:35:08,960
Speaker 1: my god, we got this guy now. So now everybody

693
00:35:08,960 --> 00:35:11,360
Speaker 1: has worried about these guys. They're not tripping about that

694
00:35:11,760 --> 00:35:13,760
Speaker 1: over there in Kansas City, right, And that's the comparison

695
00:35:13,800 --> 00:35:15,759
Speaker 1: we're using because that's the highest mark right now. Yeah,

696
00:35:16,040 --> 00:35:18,120
Speaker 1: they're not tripping over that you're looking at Oh but

697
00:35:18,200 --> 00:35:21,160
Speaker 1: check out, okay, all right, cool, yeah, all right, Tony

698
00:35:21,280 --> 00:35:22,880
Speaker 1: was that was a big night. It's a big move,

699
00:35:22,960 --> 00:35:25,919
Speaker 1: big move, right, But Tony was there? T why Hilton? Yeah,

700
00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:28,120
Speaker 1: Juju was bigger in Pittsburgh than he is in Casey.

701
00:35:28,239 --> 00:35:32,120
Speaker 1: He's actually taking a he's regressed in terms of his importance. Right.

702
00:35:32,160 --> 00:35:35,799
Speaker 1: So Kelsey got fourteen million, by the way this year,

703
00:35:35,920 --> 00:35:38,120
Speaker 1: So I mean, which is he should be getting more,

704
00:35:38,760 --> 00:35:40,040
Speaker 1: way more than that. Because if you want to talk

705
00:35:40,040 --> 00:35:42,480
Speaker 1: about somebody taking too yeah, if you want to take

706
00:35:42,560 --> 00:35:44,919
Speaker 1: talk about somebody taking a pay cut for Kansas City,

707
00:35:45,120 --> 00:35:47,359
Speaker 1: it would be it would be Travis Kelsey. So I mean,

708
00:35:47,480 --> 00:35:50,080
Speaker 1: so I keep going back to that in terms of identity,

709
00:35:50,080 --> 00:35:52,240
Speaker 1: and I think that's very important and I hope Dallas

710
00:35:52,360 --> 00:35:56,120
Speaker 1: invests in the positions that don't make the newspaper. I

711
00:35:56,239 --> 00:36:00,840
Speaker 1: really fourteen was this year, eight was last. So the

712
00:36:01,200 --> 00:36:05,120
Speaker 1: number one wide receivers making eight million, basically that's cap caps,

713
00:36:05,480 --> 00:36:09,879
Speaker 1: cap hits. He needs twenty five minute probably at least um.

714
00:36:10,640 --> 00:36:12,360
Speaker 1: So that's well, that's the thing. I don't think you

715
00:36:12,440 --> 00:36:14,359
Speaker 1: can blame this whole thing on Dak Prescott, and that's

716
00:36:14,400 --> 00:36:17,840
Speaker 1: kind of what Kent was implying. He's not being selfish

717
00:36:17,920 --> 00:36:20,279
Speaker 1: in that regard. We ran through the numbers a couple

718
00:36:20,320 --> 00:36:22,919
Speaker 1: of shows ago. He's ninth in the NFL in terms

719
00:36:22,960 --> 00:36:26,120
Speaker 1: of average per year on his contract. Out of quarterbacks,

720
00:36:26,520 --> 00:36:29,000
Speaker 1: he's behind guys like Derek Carr, who's about to get cut.

721
00:36:29,160 --> 00:36:32,200
Speaker 1: I've never talked about Dak's contract like that. You get

722
00:36:32,239 --> 00:36:34,759
Speaker 1: he's getting what the market says he should. Get no

723
00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:37,239
Speaker 1: complaints there, Get your money and get your money. It's

724
00:36:37,239 --> 00:36:40,000
Speaker 1: the management's job to to feel the rest of the roles,

725
00:36:40,280 --> 00:36:43,600
Speaker 1: and even amongst that paying Dak that people could keep

726
00:36:43,600 --> 00:36:46,520
Speaker 1: saying it, go figure out who you are. Figure out

727
00:36:46,520 --> 00:36:48,360
Speaker 1: who you are and bolster that put that part of

728
00:36:48,400 --> 00:36:50,279
Speaker 1: your offense and that part of your defense, and then

729
00:36:50,440 --> 00:36:53,360
Speaker 1: go forward and plug the rest of the gaps. Go

730
00:36:53,560 --> 00:36:55,920
Speaker 1: forward and plug the rest of the caps. Yeah, that

731
00:36:56,080 --> 00:36:58,000
Speaker 1: needs to be just to put it on a T shirt.

732
00:36:58,520 --> 00:37:00,440
Speaker 1: All right, let's take our second break. When we come back,

733
00:37:00,480 --> 00:37:02,680
Speaker 1: we're gonna catch up with Dan in Florida. But we

734
00:37:02,760 --> 00:37:04,719
Speaker 1: got to step aside for a quick moment. More talking

735
00:37:04,800 --> 00:37:08,480
Speaker 1: cowboys will continue in a moment. Todd thought it would

736
00:37:08,480 --> 00:37:11,160
Speaker 1: be secure to jog in the Cheetah Savanta. Todd believed

737
00:37:11,200 --> 00:37:14,000
Speaker 1: the big Cat repellent he bought online was reliable. And

738
00:37:14,120 --> 00:37:16,560
Speaker 1: now Todd is trying to be faster than this cheetah

739
00:37:16,640 --> 00:37:19,080
Speaker 1: that can run eighty miles per hour. But the good

740
00:37:19,120 --> 00:37:21,080
Speaker 1: news is Todd has AT and T five G. It

741
00:37:21,239 --> 00:37:23,799
Speaker 1: is fast, reliable, and secure, and he learned the best

742
00:37:23,840 --> 00:37:26,120
Speaker 1: thing to do is stop running and toss her the

743
00:37:26,160 --> 00:37:30,480
Speaker 1: backpack with the beef stew At and T five G. Fast, reliable, secure,

744
00:37:30,800 --> 00:37:33,640
Speaker 1: It's not complicated. Five G requires compatible plan and device.

745
00:37:33,680 --> 00:37:35,279
Speaker 1: Five G may not be available in your area. See

814
00:41:50,320 --> 00:41:53,879
Speaker 1: The Jets are in recruiting process. I was about to say,

815
00:41:53,920 --> 00:41:57,719
Speaker 1: they're looking for some other guys, and Zach Wilson's there

816
00:41:58,360 --> 00:42:01,640
Speaker 1: their quarterback in the building, but he's not their quarterback.

817
00:42:02,360 --> 00:42:05,839

818
00:42:06,239 --> 00:42:09,080

820
