00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:20,680
Speaker 1: It's time for the Break on Dallas Cowboys dot Com

6
00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:28,040
Speaker 1: with Nick Eatman, David Hellman, and bar Garcia and Derek Eagleton.

7
00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:33,080
Speaker 1: You're not Derek, I can't be handy. Mike Marshall joined

8
00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:37,440
Speaker 1: us for Disney. Derek is not available. He decided to

9
00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:41,320
Speaker 1: leave on a very convenient just like get away from

10
00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:45,200
Speaker 1: spring break. There's really only two weeks in the offseason

11
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:47,640
Speaker 1: where you like need to be around. You know, this

12
00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:49,560
Speaker 1: is one of them. It's probably one of them. Yeah,

13
00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:52,440
Speaker 1: it's okay. We're gonna make do without him. Amber Dave

14
00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:57,840
Speaker 1: it might be better. Hey, that's possibility. I like that,

15
00:00:57,960 --> 00:00:59,800
Speaker 1: jumps in his own chair and says, you know what,

16
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:01,880
Speaker 1: this could be better, And it could be. I mean,

17
00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:04,600
Speaker 1: Derek's not that great. Let's go. You're always looking to

18
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:08,160
Speaker 1: upgrade your team in free agency, right, definitely, hundred sixty

19
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:12,600
Speaker 1: five day year process. Right. Maybe talent acquisition maybe maybe.

20
00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:15,400
Speaker 1: Derek said, well, the Cowboys aren't going to do anything anyway,

21
00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:18,160
Speaker 1: so maybe I'll leave. Well, he's not wrong to this point.

22
00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:23,440
Speaker 1: So so far, Cowboys are a little or taking a

23
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:27,000
Speaker 1: slower approach. I guess. I actually that isn't really true.

24
00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:31,560
Speaker 1: They really they haven't done anything, havn't agreed to anything yet.

25
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:34,480
Speaker 1: But I still think they're being somewhat active. They just

26
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:38,040
Speaker 1: haven't they haven't hit yet. They were interested in Sammy Watkins, right.

27
00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:41,560
Speaker 1: I heard reports from our paper friends yea, that they

28
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:43,160
Speaker 1: were in on that, and then the money got kind

29
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:46,440
Speaker 1: of silly and they were like it were good smallis

30
00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:48,720
Speaker 1: whenever it drops a little bit sixteen million for a

31
00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:52,000
Speaker 1: guy with thirty nine Yeah, yeah, I think I think

32
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:53,880
Speaker 1: the Cowboys had to cut off. I mean I do.

33
00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:56,200
Speaker 1: I do think they were in play there. I think

34
00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:59,120
Speaker 1: they wanted around fifteen million per year, and I don't

35
00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:01,040
Speaker 1: think the guarantee as high as what he got in

36
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:04,440
Speaker 1: Kansas City. And I mean, and that's might be what

37
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:07,600
Speaker 1: happens here with the Cowboys, is that. Yeah, we like

38
00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 1: him for this. They probably like Hitchens for six million

39
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:14,560
Speaker 1: a year. Yeah, and well, you know, it's funny and

40
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:17,440
Speaker 1: I get it. I completely get why a Cowboys fan

41
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:19,919
Speaker 1: would be frustrated with the way the Cowboys do free agency.

42
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:22,960
Speaker 1: But I mean I can't say you weren't prepared for it,

43
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:26,000
Speaker 1: assuming you pay attention. I mean, this is the this

44
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:27,600
Speaker 1: is the third or fourth year in a row that

45
00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:30,720
Speaker 1: this has been their strategy. And we've been talking about

46
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:32,880
Speaker 1: how this was going to be their strategy since you know,

47
00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:35,840
Speaker 1: we started doing offseason shows in mid January. So I

48
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:37,960
Speaker 1: mean you might not like it, but you shouldn't be

49
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:40,079
Speaker 1: surprised by what's going on. You can tell me a

50
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:42,919
Speaker 1: year leading up, and even when that week hits, I'm

51
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:45,560
Speaker 1: still like, my friends are having a party and I

52
00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:48,040
Speaker 1: wasn't invited. So that's it. You're right. I have to

53
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:50,160
Speaker 1: walk by the bar that they're having the party yet

54
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:53,840
Speaker 1: every hour or so and see, Oh, Jaguar is getting better.

55
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:57,600
Speaker 1: Packers pretty much? Yeah, I hear you. I think the

56
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:02,360
Speaker 1: one question is are they getting better? Are they really

57
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:04,600
Speaker 1: getting better? Go back and look at last year, go

58
00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:06,920
Speaker 1: back look the year before. These these guys that sign

59
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:09,640
Speaker 1: that sound good, but do they really help them? I

60
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:11,400
Speaker 1: mean I don't know. I mean some of them do.

61
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:14,720
Speaker 1: I mean no, look at the Eagles. Congratulations the Eagles. Yes,

62
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:17,920
Speaker 1: But I'm just saying there's a lot of Jags too. Yeah,

63
00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:20,840
Speaker 1: there's like, I mean, it does work if you're smart

64
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:23,560
Speaker 1: about it, it does work. But like who helped them?

65
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:29,239
Speaker 1: Campbell for the Jacks, Campbell, Bury, Church Aju. Who else

66
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:31,720
Speaker 1: did they bring in? Nobody in the offensive side? Right?

67
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:34,400
Speaker 1: Not really? I mean those those three guys really were

68
00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:36,760
Speaker 1: I mean Campbell helped them. Campbell for sure, I mean

69
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:39,840
Speaker 1: I didn't watch him play enough. I mean, I'm sure

70
00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:43,760
Speaker 1: he played well, had five picks, but I think lockdown

71
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:46,120
Speaker 1: the passing game, go look at go look at around

72
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:48,840
Speaker 1: the league though, all these all these guys, I mean,

73
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:50,640
Speaker 1: I would say, a year from now, are you gonna

74
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:53,360
Speaker 1: be like, did Paul Richardson help the Redskins? No? And

75
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 1: that's the vast majority of the stuff that has happened

76
00:03:56,920 --> 00:04:00,720
Speaker 1: this week is pretty stupid in my opinion. Like, I'm

77
00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:03,360
Speaker 1: there's maybe four deals out of the like sixty that

78
00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:06,040
Speaker 1: have happened where I'm just like, that looks like a good,

79
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:10,360
Speaker 1: cost effective decision. The vast majority of it not so much.

80
00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:12,200
Speaker 1: And that's you know, I mean, one of the first

81
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:15,080
Speaker 1: things that happened yesterday morning, like six o'clock in the morning,

82
00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 1: Anthony Hitchens signed for fifty million dollars which I think

83
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:20,800
Speaker 1: the world of Anthony Hitchins, and I know the Cowboys

84
00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:25,200
Speaker 1: do too, But I don't know fifty million dollars I need.

85
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:29,280
Speaker 1: I need more than what he provides for fifty million dollars. Obviously,

86
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:32,080
Speaker 1: we'll talk about other players that are still on this

87
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:34,920
Speaker 1: team for the Cowboys, but let's let's go with Hitchens

88
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:38,400
Speaker 1: right now. Hitchens signs or is expected to sign today

89
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:43,560
Speaker 1: with the Chiefs. Amber, you can't sign everybody. We've talked

90
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:45,159
Speaker 1: about that last week. Where do you where do you

91
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:48,320
Speaker 1: think this is as far as Hitchens leaving? You concerned

92
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:51,040
Speaker 1: with that one or there? Well, I mean, we all

93
00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:53,599
Speaker 1: need we expect that this was going to happen, that

94
00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:56,320
Speaker 1: we wouldn't have Hitchens back on the team. And obviously

95
00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:58,840
Speaker 1: he's a big guy on the Cowboy's defense, and they're

96
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:02,080
Speaker 1: gonna they already need a linebacker. Now they're in more

97
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:06,160
Speaker 1: of a need to have another linebacker. So, yes, that's

98
00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:08,839
Speaker 1: tough to see happen. But at the same time, you know,

99
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:12,680
Speaker 1: we listen to fans complain about what is happening in

100
00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:15,800
Speaker 1: free agency, the Cowboys not making moves. We seem like

101
00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:18,920
Speaker 1: you mentioned the guys that we're free agent last year

102
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:21,680
Speaker 1: or were contracted as free agents, were a failure to

103
00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:25,000
Speaker 1: the Cowboys didn't work out. But I have a question

104
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:27,160
Speaker 1: for you guys if you were the Cowboys, I mean,

105
00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:30,480
Speaker 1: would you be handling free agency the same way that

106
00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:33,840
Speaker 1: they're doing it right now? I don't know if how

107
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:35,960
Speaker 1: else would you manage this. They're the only team in

108
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:39,400
Speaker 1: the league that signed a player for that much money.

109
00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:42,800
Speaker 1: I mean, they haven't done anything, but who else has

110
00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:46,000
Speaker 1: actually signed a player for seventeen million per season? And

111
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:48,560
Speaker 1: the fact that people say, well that doesn't really count,

112
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:52,480
Speaker 1: it technically counts onto the cap. That's a big deal

113
00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:54,920
Speaker 1: the Cowboys have done. And whether it's sexy or not

114
00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:57,960
Speaker 1: because no one expected him to leave or that doesn't matter,

115
00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:00,440
Speaker 1: Like that's something that they had to do. They did,

116
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:02,919
Speaker 1: and now fans are like, well, they're not doing anything.

117
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:05,840
Speaker 1: They had to do that move. I think I completely

118
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:07,520
Speaker 1: agree with you, And I said last night, you know,

119
00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:10,880
Speaker 1: if they hadn't put that tag onto Marcus Lawrence, Adam

120
00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:13,080
Speaker 1: Schefter and Ian Rappaport would have tweeted out at five

121
00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:15,760
Speaker 1: to thirty yesterday morning that he had agreed to a

122
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:20,880
Speaker 1: handshake deal with whoever sixty million and guarantees and what

123
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:23,800
Speaker 1: I get the counterpoints of that, which is that you're

124
00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:26,880
Speaker 1: not technically making your team better. He was already he

125
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:29,320
Speaker 1: was already on this team that finished nine and seven.

126
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:32,279
Speaker 1: But I mean it's I mean, fourteen and a half sacks.

127
00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:34,000
Speaker 1: You can't let that walk out the door, and you

128
00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:37,200
Speaker 1: can't just discount their willingness to pay him that money

129
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:39,680
Speaker 1: to keep him on the team. Having said that, I

130
00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:42,920
Speaker 1: do get the counter argument to answer your question, I don't.

131
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:45,360
Speaker 1: I don't hate what they've done over the last couple

132
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:46,960
Speaker 1: of years, which is be really quiet. I don't know

133
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:49,240
Speaker 1: if they had much of a choice. Their cap sheet

134
00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:51,280
Speaker 1: was so ugly for such a long time, after all

135
00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:54,080
Speaker 1: the restructures and all pushing the money forward. I don't

136
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:56,800
Speaker 1: hate what they've done. I understand it. I do hate

137
00:06:56,880 --> 00:07:00,359
Speaker 1: closing one of the spouts of talent acquisition because you

138
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:02,120
Speaker 1: have the draft, you have free agency, right, you have

139
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:05,240
Speaker 1: which stout afted guys. Oh you're talking about just not

140
00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:08,960
Speaker 1: free agency, Yeah, just not acquiring talent through that avenue.

141
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:11,320
Speaker 1: And I hate that, but I understand it. I understand

142
00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:13,400
Speaker 1: what they've had to do when the restructures and bad

143
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:16,000
Speaker 1: money getting off of it, and now I felt like

144
00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:18,680
Speaker 1: this year might be the year when you're clear of

145
00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:20,280
Speaker 1: some of that bad money and you have a chance

146
00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:23,120
Speaker 1: to make some kind of splash to be I mean again,

147
00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:27,960
Speaker 1: I got horseshoes only counting horse yet almost only counts

148
00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:30,560
Speaker 1: and horse shoes and handgarnade. Sorry it's early man pass

149
00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:33,960
Speaker 1: rush and that too. I always said that pass rush

150
00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:38,240
Speaker 1: also counts. They were willing to make a splash with

151
00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:41,040
Speaker 1: Sammy Watkins apparently. I mean, if they were willing to

152
00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:44,200
Speaker 1: pay him eight figures, that would have been it would

153
00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:48,720
Speaker 1: have been amazing, just amazingly surprising. It got out of hand,

154
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:50,920
Speaker 1: And honestly, I don't fault them for not wanting to

155
00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:53,640
Speaker 1: pay that guy sixteen million dollars, but that that's the

156
00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:56,400
Speaker 1: open market, and that's what happens when you've got a

157
00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:58,720
Speaker 1: billion dollars in combining. So the will is there, right,

158
00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:02,680
Speaker 1: let's I mean acquire somebody in which well, now that

159
00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:05,800
Speaker 1: shifts us to the elephant in the room as well,

160
00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:09,800
Speaker 1: Sammy Watkins. They wanted Sammy Watkins, not for that price

161
00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:12,520
Speaker 1: he got, but pretty close. Now you look at other

162
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:17,200
Speaker 1: receivers that are signing Alan Robinson, what fourteen million a year? Yeah,

163
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:20,880
Speaker 1: fourteen average three for forty two and Paul Richardson ten

164
00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:24,720
Speaker 1: eight eight year five for forty What has that guy? Don? Wait?

165
00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:26,680
Speaker 1: Is that? Is that how many catches he's had last year?

166
00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:31,080
Speaker 1: A year? I thought you were talking about how many

167
00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:34,440
Speaker 1: catches here? I mean seriously though, And so I said

168
00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:36,240
Speaker 1: that yesterday. I was like, this guy's got half the

169
00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:39,080
Speaker 1: career accomplishments of Terrence Williams and signed for more than

170
00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:42,880
Speaker 1: double what Terrence got in the open market. And somebody said, well,

171
00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:45,679
Speaker 1: he didn't have a chance in Seattle. They drafted him

172
00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:48,680
Speaker 1: forty fifth overall have a chance. They drafted him in

173
00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:52,160
Speaker 1: the top fifty. That that deal, maybe more than anything

174
00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:55,400
Speaker 1: else that happened yesterday, really blew me away. So now

175
00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:58,360
Speaker 1: let's let's get really fun here and try to jump

176
00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:01,520
Speaker 1: into the shoes of Dez Bryant. Geordy gout Cut. Ah, yes,

177
00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:05,480
Speaker 1: Seorty as well. Right, So you're Dez Bryant and you're

178
00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:09,520
Speaker 1: making what the average of sixteen million a year, but

179
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:11,800
Speaker 1: I mean you're not making it now, but that's what

180
00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:15,600
Speaker 1: your contract is. You're gonna take a pay cut. Well,

181
00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:17,640
Speaker 1: I know it's a tough I mean, you meant to

182
00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:19,840
Speaker 1: run in that room and say Hey, let's look at

183
00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:22,480
Speaker 1: percentage of cap. Because the cap this year is one

184
00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:24,800
Speaker 1: seventy seven. When you signed it was one forty. Right,

185
00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:27,520
Speaker 1: that's what the front office is gonna say, And they're

186
00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:29,480
Speaker 1: gonna go, Okay, well, you're actually eight percent of the cap.

187
00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:30,800
Speaker 1: These guys are eight percent of the cap. I know

188
00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:33,280
Speaker 1: the money's different, but whenever you're getting that check, Yeah,

189
00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:34,880
Speaker 1: you walk into the booth and you're getting that check

190
00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:36,720
Speaker 1: every week, and it looks different, it doesn't matter to you.

191
00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:39,120
Speaker 1: But to Nick's point, I mean, in light of everything

192
00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:43,319
Speaker 1: that happened yesterday, Dez's deal doesn't look that crazy anymore.

193
00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:46,360
Speaker 1: What did Mike Evans get eighty something five for like

194
00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:49,240
Speaker 1: eighty something like that? I don't have it off with

195
00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:52,000
Speaker 1: the cap at one seventy seven and Mike Evans only

196
00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:54,720
Speaker 1: getting five for eighty. I think i'd point to that deal.

197
00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:58,760
Speaker 1: I'd go, are you as good as that guy right now? Well? No,

198
00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:01,040
Speaker 1: I mean no, he's not. He's not as good as

199
00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:04,480
Speaker 1: as Mike Evans is right now. But I think, what

200
00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:07,360
Speaker 1: is he better than Alan Robinson? Yeah? I mean not

201
00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:11,360
Speaker 1: about who's younger and has more upside? Like is he

202
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:14,400
Speaker 1: a better player? Is he a better player than Sammy Watkins.

203
00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:21,000
Speaker 1: But those guys have question marks. Yeah, Sammy Watkins just

204
00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:24,200
Speaker 1: lack of production overall. I thin injuries. I mean, he's

205
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:27,120
Speaker 1: had a dozen of them. It's it's fashion, I mean.

206
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:30,560
Speaker 1: But let's also throw this out. We've been told, everyone's

207
00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:33,480
Speaker 1: kind of been reported that they wanted Sammy Watkins. They

208
00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:36,360
Speaker 1: were gonna be prepared to do that deal for fifteen

209
00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:38,960
Speaker 1: a year. You can't do that deal with Dez on

210
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:42,040
Speaker 1: the team. I don't think absolutely not. So that doesn't

211
00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:43,360
Speaker 1: mean now that they're gonna cut him. You and I

212
00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:45,600
Speaker 1: talked about this before the show. That doesn't mean Wells

213
00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:47,880
Speaker 1: was going to get cut. He's definitely gonna get cut.

214
00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:49,800
Speaker 1: Maybe they look at it now like we wanted him,

215
00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:53,080
Speaker 1: Maybe we have another guy in mind. If that doesn't happen,

216
00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:56,640
Speaker 1: then Dez still falls here and maybe maybe you know,

217
00:10:56,760 --> 00:10:59,560
Speaker 1: they keep him. I think. I mean, okay, they took

218
00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:01,960
Speaker 1: a swing for the fence on a guy. Des Brian

219
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:04,320
Speaker 1: would not be here if Sammy Watkins was. There's no way.

220
00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:06,920
Speaker 1: So now I think it just depends on how they

221
00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:10,280
Speaker 1: feel about how hard it is to live without Des

222
00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:12,679
Speaker 1: because I mean, there's there's guys you can bring in

223
00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:15,000
Speaker 1: to fill that role. I mean, Bryce Butler is one

224
00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:18,400
Speaker 1: who's familiar with this team. I'm I don't have any

225
00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:20,160
Speaker 1: off the top of my head, but I'm sure there's

226
00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:23,160
Speaker 1: a handful of guys that fit that description from that

227
00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:26,640
Speaker 1: are on the open market. Absolutely, Okay, there you go. Yeah,

228
00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:29,040
Speaker 1: I mean, but that better next year if Jordy who

229
00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:32,400
Speaker 1: Neilson's their number one? And that's my point is that's

230
00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:33,960
Speaker 1: going to be up to them to look at those

231
00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:36,240
Speaker 1: options and way um and say, are we better off

232
00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:39,000
Speaker 1: just eating this des deal for another year, keeping them

233
00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:42,040
Speaker 1: here and drafting a guy, or do we get better

234
00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:45,480
Speaker 1: by bringing in somebody else for cheaper And I can't

235
00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:47,880
Speaker 1: answer that question, And I think the only way we'll

236
00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:49,960
Speaker 1: know is what they decide to do over the next

237
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:52,960
Speaker 1: few weeks. And the one thing I am I'm even

238
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:54,920
Speaker 1: more confident now than I ever was that they're going

239
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:57,840
Speaker 1: to spend a pretty valuable asset on a receiver in

240
00:11:57,840 --> 00:11:59,840
Speaker 1: the draft. I just don't know if it's gonna be

241
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:02,040
Speaker 1: with Dez on the team or not. You know, throughout

242
00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:05,200
Speaker 1: this whole process, I've been going back and forth where

243
00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:07,640
Speaker 1: I see, no way does it's not gonna be here?

244
00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:09,920
Speaker 1: And then I say, oh, you know what, this actually

245
00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:12,920
Speaker 1: may seem very possible. Back and forth, back and forth.

246
00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:16,560
Speaker 1: Des posted a picture on Instagram of him I saw

247
00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:19,520
Speaker 1: you twittering about it, Dave, and it's not a big deal.

248
00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:22,640
Speaker 1: He It was basically a picture of him and a

249
00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:27,160
Speaker 1: Starr emoji plus ada equals. He posts that in the

250
00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:29,719
Speaker 1: middle of the opening day of free agency, and then

251
00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:31,679
Speaker 1: he goes on Twitter and he's like, stopped reading into

252
00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:34,920
Speaker 1: my exactly exactly, stop reading into I'm not gonna stop

253
00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:36,680
Speaker 1: reading into your posts. Look at me, look at me.

254
00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:38,440
Speaker 1: Don't pay attention to you have I don't even know

255
00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:42,360
Speaker 1: if you know exactly. No, you're right, like, please pay

256
00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:44,520
Speaker 1: attention to me, but don't read into what I'm saying.

257
00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:47,360
Speaker 1: Like so, no, I'm not gonna not pay attention to

258
00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:49,400
Speaker 1: what you say, Das. I'm sorry. I mean that picture

259
00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:52,000
Speaker 1: made me go all the way back to okay, maybe

260
00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:56,040
Speaker 1: he's staying, Like he's feeling confident that maybe he is staying,

261
00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:58,559
Speaker 1: because why else would you post something like that at

262
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:01,559
Speaker 1: that time? I think I think I would want to

263
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:04,439
Speaker 1: get cut if I was this, you would want to

264
00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:08,800
Speaker 1: get I don't disagree with me, because let's let's be honest.

265
00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:11,960
Speaker 1: He's making so much a year, but he's not making

266
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:14,679
Speaker 1: that that money that he got and he's I'm not

267
00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:17,920
Speaker 1: saying it's all spent, but I mean, you could get cut,

268
00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:21,880
Speaker 1: sign a monster deal with someone else, get that money

269
00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:24,480
Speaker 1: tomorrow and pretty pretty much start over and you're gonna

270
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:26,120
Speaker 1: get more than what you're doing now. And they want

271
00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:28,240
Speaker 1: him to take less. I think he's looking to get more.

272
00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:33,080
Speaker 1: Ryan Grant got something like he got seven plus. I

273
00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:35,440
Speaker 1: mean he was He's been the Redskins fifth receiver for

274
00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:38,319
Speaker 1: a couple of years. Like he's I'm not saying he's

275
00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:40,839
Speaker 1: a bad player, but like I was again floored when

276
00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:43,280
Speaker 1: I saw that. If Ryan Grant can't get twenty six million,

277
00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:46,800
Speaker 1: you know who makes seven plus for the Cowboys, Shaun Lee?

278
00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:49,679
Speaker 1: Yeah exactly. Oh yeah. I mean well, for that matter,

279
00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:53,800
Speaker 1: Anthony Hitchens, right is now making quite a bit more

280
00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:56,160
Speaker 1: than Shaun Lee is, which is I mean, that's that's

281
00:13:56,360 --> 00:13:59,200
Speaker 1: that's the nature of how many quarterbacks are pissed now.

282
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:02,559
Speaker 1: They're not pissed, but they're looking at it like seriously,

283
00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:06,240
Speaker 1: a full guaranteed. I know we're bouncing around here, but

284
00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:08,320
Speaker 1: that's what free agency is. We're bouncing around now. We're

285
00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:10,560
Speaker 1: on to Kirk Cousins and are they Are they pissed

286
00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:12,920
Speaker 1: or are they pumped? Because if if Kirk Cousins can

287
00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:15,800
Speaker 1: demand that, then I think certainly be able. Didn't USh

288
00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:17,360
Speaker 1: try to do that in his last contract, because I

289
00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:20,440
Speaker 1: throw my pin at you, Dave Um Russell Wilson. I

290
00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:22,560
Speaker 1: think he shaid Rush. I was like, no, Russia. Yeah,

291
00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:24,480
Speaker 1: Cooper Rush wants a guarantee that's in a couple of

292
00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:26,880
Speaker 1: years when he's done leading the Cowboys. But I think

293
00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:29,440
Speaker 1: we've been moving towards that for quarterbacks, and that might

294
00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:32,160
Speaker 1: be the only position where it's this is the money,

295
00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:34,760
Speaker 1: it's all guaranteed. If you want me to play here

296
00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:37,480
Speaker 1: long term, I'm a top five quarterback or maybe Kirk

297
00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:41,400
Speaker 1: Cousins top ten, it's guaranteed. That's how the deal's working out.

298
00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:44,040
Speaker 1: And I think we've been moving towards that, And I'm

299
00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:45,960
Speaker 1: I wish all the money was guaranteed. I wish the

300
00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:49,120
Speaker 1: numbers were what it was. You know, it's so funny

301
00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:53,640
Speaker 1: Romo people that hated Romo. They had one argument and

302
00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:58,680
Speaker 1: it was always playoffs. But you know, nobody cares about

303
00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:01,880
Speaker 1: that anymore. Like that's not a big deal about playoffs.

304
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:05,120
Speaker 1: It's just so funny how he wasn't very good because

305
00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:08,600
Speaker 1: he couldn't get his team over here. But now it's

306
00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:12,160
Speaker 1: like Kirk Cousins, like you've won no playoff games, like

307
00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:15,840
Speaker 1: caress guarantee every money. I mean, that might be the

308
00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:18,320
Speaker 1: case right now. But the team they've got up there

309
00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:20,920
Speaker 1: in Minneapolis, right we'll find out this year. Well if

310
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:24,800
Speaker 1: I mean, if I think it's a bad move, I don't.

311
00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:27,880
Speaker 1: I don't think that's a good move for Minnesota because

312
00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:31,800
Speaker 1: they just showed that they can win with a rudypoot

313
00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:34,120
Speaker 1: quarterback and they don't know. I don't know if you

314
00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:37,080
Speaker 1: need to go twenty five million guaranteed. And I don't

315
00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:39,720
Speaker 1: know if Cousins is really that good. I mean, I've

316
00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:41,920
Speaker 1: never really liked it. We can't beat the Cowboys, so

317
00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:44,360
Speaker 1: I don't know why he's that good. But I'm just saying,

318
00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:47,200
Speaker 1: if they have the money, I guess that's that's fine.

319
00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:51,720
Speaker 1: But they do have a great defense. If a good coach,

320
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:55,040
Speaker 1: really good coach, and they have a great home field advantage,

321
00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:57,080
Speaker 1: I mean, they're in a good situation. I just don't

322
00:15:57,120 --> 00:16:00,920
Speaker 1: know if they needed Kurt Cousins. I I don't know, Man,

323
00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:02,640
Speaker 1: I guess if they got the money for it. I

324
00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:06,640
Speaker 1: think you can win with an elite defense and adequate defense.

325
00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:08,800
Speaker 1: But that's true, a lot more stuff has to go

326
00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:10,880
Speaker 1: your way, like if you if you have a top

327
00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:13,480
Speaker 1: tier quarterback, you're in every game. And I mean, I'm

328
00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:15,480
Speaker 1: not saying he's the best he's got right there. I

329
00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:18,520
Speaker 1: think Kirk Cousins is really good and I We're gonna

330
00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:20,040
Speaker 1: see how good he is, because that was my point.

331
00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:23,280
Speaker 1: I mean, with every they they don't have a weakness

332
00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:25,360
Speaker 1: that I can really think of, and they play in

333
00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:28,560
Speaker 1: that ridiculous stadium, it should be good enough to get

334
00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:31,280
Speaker 1: a couple home games. Like if they don't, if they

335
00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:33,000
Speaker 1: aren't one of the top two or three teams in

336
00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:35,360
Speaker 1: the league next year, then everybody's gonna go. And they

337
00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:37,720
Speaker 1: get their first round running back back. That's what I mean.

338
00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:41,160
Speaker 1: They know they're they're loaded. It's unbelievable. I mean, I

339
00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:45,440
Speaker 1: do think he's a better quarterback than case Keenum And yeah,

340
00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:50,720
Speaker 1: that guy just continues to steal money to Ben Bradford,

341
00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:54,760
Speaker 1: the best one hundred and thirty four million dollars career earning.

342
00:16:55,720 --> 00:16:59,360
Speaker 1: That's my hero. Why didn't I play quarterback? He is

343
00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:04,119
Speaker 1: to wrap put a bow on the Kirk Cousins thing.

344
00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:07,879
Speaker 1: It's it's a move when you're one move away, but

345
00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:09,840
Speaker 1: that one move away is your quarterback and you just

346
00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:13,440
Speaker 1: invested so much money, like they're locked into this roster.

347
00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:17,600
Speaker 1: If this roster does not get you NFC championship on

348
00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:21,000
Speaker 1: the CUSP every single year, like you're getting fired in

349
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:24,480
Speaker 1: like two years, I would and will gonna draft Will Hernandez.

350
00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:26,920
Speaker 1: They might you think you'll be there at thirty Maybe

351
00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:29,240
Speaker 1: I don't know. It's I mean, because that's the one

352
00:17:29,320 --> 00:17:32,400
Speaker 1: position where you don't see a ton of great greatness

353
00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:34,360
Speaker 1: coming out of that team. Why are we talking Vikings here?

354
00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:37,879
Speaker 1: But whatever, it's totally possible. I don't know Kings, but

355
00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:40,679
Speaker 1: I would argue signing Cousins gives you a chance to

356
00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:43,040
Speaker 1: be competitive once you when you have to let your

357
00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:47,399
Speaker 1: defenders walk because like Anthony Barr Kendricks to Neil Hunter,

358
00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:48,920
Speaker 1: like all these guys, like they're not gonna be able

359
00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:50,840
Speaker 1: to pay them all. That's the problem the Cowboys are doing.

360
00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:53,240
Speaker 1: And it's not to switch to another team, but it's

361
00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:56,840
Speaker 1: the exact problem Seattle went through. Like remember when Seattle

362
00:17:56,880 --> 00:17:59,159
Speaker 1: was sitting here with this cheap quarterback, and they had

363
00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:02,720
Speaker 1: all these great players. Then they signed Russell Wilson, which

364
00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:06,120
Speaker 1: and then now that they're sitting there, everyone there, thin everywhere,

365
00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:07,760
Speaker 1: but they have a quarterback who can keep them in

366
00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:10,359
Speaker 1: any game. I mean that's kind of the it's just

367
00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:11,960
Speaker 1: the way it goes. All Right, Well, you don't sign

368
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:14,879
Speaker 1: Anthony Hitchins for that money long term exactly. You find

369
00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:17,600
Speaker 1: the next Anthony Hitchens exactly. And they, to be fair

370
00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:20,480
Speaker 1: to the Cowboys, they actually tried that. The next year.

371
00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:24,680
Speaker 1: They drafted another fourth round linebacker from the Big Ten.

372
00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:28,040
Speaker 1: That's very athletic, that can and he hasn't panned out.

373
00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:31,119
Speaker 1: He hasn't developed yet. He has he makes headlines for

374
00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:33,720
Speaker 1: the wrong reasons. So I got to work on that

375
00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:36,600
Speaker 1: with Damian Wilson. But we talked about linebacker and how

376
00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:40,080
Speaker 1: that was already a need. And actually we're gonna go

377
00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:42,520
Speaker 1: to break, but we'll talk about linebacker when we come back.

378
00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:44,800
Speaker 1: We're also going to let's talk about quarterback a little

379
00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:47,040
Speaker 1: bit and how the quarterback kind of affects the Cowboys

380
00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:49,320
Speaker 1: quarterback how to affects some of these other moves. Who

381
00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:50,840
Speaker 1: will be right back here on the break. It can

382
00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:53,120
Speaker 1: be hard to find the right resource for learning about

383
00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:56,440
Speaker 1: important financial matters. You search how to build savings, you

384

385

402
00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:53,400
Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys go way back. They belonged together like Texas

403
00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:57,320
Speaker 1: and football, silver and Blue shotgun formations and Hail Mary's.

404
00:19:57,640 --> 00:20:01,160
Speaker 1: Having a Cowboys football party without Pepper is like having

405
00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:05,440

00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:51,760
Speaker 1: to the break, we are back in its free agency.

421
00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:57,040
Speaker 1: There's so much happening with other teams, but three o'clock

422
00:20:57,520 --> 00:20:59,520
Speaker 1: comes around maybe the Cowboys are going to jump into

423
00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:02,399
Speaker 1: this thing a little bit more. We just talked in

424
00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:05,960
Speaker 1: the first segment about they did have some interest with

425
00:21:06,359 --> 00:21:08,560
Speaker 1: wide receiver Sammy Watkins, they have some interest with some

426
00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:11,359
Speaker 1: other guys. I think they'll be proud of them if

427
00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:13,920
Speaker 1: they make a big splash that no one knows about

428
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:17,600
Speaker 1: until it happens. That'd be fun. That would be no leaks,

429
00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:20,879
Speaker 1: no agent, not gonna hold my breath. That would have

430
00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:23,840
Speaker 1: been one. I mean there wasn't. Oh yeah, no, Sammy

431
00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:27,320
Speaker 1: never well, the domino effect with that. We kind of

432
00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:29,280
Speaker 1: heard some rumblings in the early part of the week

433
00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:31,640
Speaker 1: that like, don't be surprised if they do something out

434
00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:34,800
Speaker 1: of character. I would and I so I'm thinking, like, okay, like,

435
00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:38,080
Speaker 1: but I would have never guessed Sammy Watkins. They can

436
00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:40,359
Speaker 1: it's a weird one. All this can go away. And

437
00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:43,920
Speaker 1: if you just make some trades with Seattle, see that's

438
00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:46,800
Speaker 1: splashy going well, going back to Amber's question, that's the

439
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:49,360
Speaker 1: I don't care that they haven't done anything this week,

440
00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:51,520
Speaker 1: but I can go back to last week, and you know,

441
00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:54,320
Speaker 1: we talk about the Eagles. It's not really like they're

442
00:21:54,320 --> 00:21:57,800
Speaker 1: out here signing all these gaudy free agents. It's just

443
00:21:57,840 --> 00:22:00,280
Speaker 1: the type of move they make. I mean, last year

444
00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:03,800
Speaker 1: they traded for Timmy Jernegan. Uh, they signed Alshon Jeffrey

445
00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:06,360
Speaker 1: to a small deal. This year, you know, they traded

446
00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:09,600
Speaker 1: Tory Smith for Brad Worley. They traded for Day Um

447
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:12,199
Speaker 1: not the Eagles. But there was nothing small about the

448
00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:15,959
Speaker 1: Alshon Jeffrey deal. Was it like one year, nine ten

449
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:21,080
Speaker 1: million dollars. I mean, it wasn't paying Sammy Watkins fifteen. Um,

450
00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:25,959
Speaker 1: they didn't. They did. People are so mad about that.

451
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:29,879
Speaker 1: He's like forty years old. Um, um, what you call it?

452
00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:31,920
Speaker 1: Michael Bennett for a fifth round pick? You see, the

453
00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:34,639
Speaker 1: Browns sent Danny Shelton and a fifth rounder to New

454
00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:37,439
Speaker 1: England for a third rounder. That's the type of stuff

455
00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:41,040
Speaker 1: that when I see it, I'm like, yeah, hey, do

456
00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:44,880
Speaker 1: that maybe maybe you know, spend small resources to improve

457
00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:47,520
Speaker 1: your team in a noticeable way. I mean, Danny Shelton's

458
00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:49,919
Speaker 1: only a one technique. He's not gonna get six sacks

459
00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:52,560
Speaker 1: for this team, but he would be a massive upgrade

460
00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:55,280
Speaker 1: over the one techniques on this roster. And you have

461
00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:58,080
Speaker 1: ten draft picks. I mean, that's that's the type of

462
00:22:58,119 --> 00:23:00,359
Speaker 1: stuff that I see, and I think the cow Boys

463
00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:02,159
Speaker 1: could and should be doing this type of stuff. They

464
00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:04,160
Speaker 1: just don't want to do what you did last year.

465
00:23:04,520 --> 00:23:07,280
Speaker 1: But hit on those guys, yeah, I mean hit on

466
00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:13,560
Speaker 1: Nolan Carroll, hit on Stephen Pierre, say his name, Hi, Hi, Yeah, sorry,

467
00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:15,520
Speaker 1: but you're gone here. Well he was already gone when

468
00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:18,080
Speaker 1: you started working right anyway, I mean yeah, never met him.

469
00:23:18,080 --> 00:23:20,960
Speaker 1: So it was a nice trifecta right there. We got

470
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:23,200
Speaker 1: three guys. One guy's gonna get a d UI before

471
00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:25,400
Speaker 1: he plays at any game and not even gonna play

472
00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:28,320
Speaker 1: at all, or he's gonna play like a game and

473
00:23:28,359 --> 00:23:30,080
Speaker 1: a half and he's done. Another guy's just going to

474
00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:33,320
Speaker 1: decide to retire like a couple of games in. And

475
00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:36,880
Speaker 1: then another player, another players already got a two game

476
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:40,560
Speaker 1: suspension on that's hanging over him, and then he's gonna

477
00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:44,560
Speaker 1: have some issues. And that's the strategy. The strategy really

478
00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:47,080
Speaker 1: doesn't bother me. It got Byron Bell. He gotta be

479
00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:49,720
Speaker 1: a lot better about finding guys that can actually contribute

480
00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:52,359
Speaker 1: to Can I ask one question about Hitchins leaving before

481
00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:54,040
Speaker 1: we move him. You're on the show. You don't have

482
00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:56,200
Speaker 1: to ask if you're just making sure I'm the guest here,

483
00:23:56,320 --> 00:23:59,000
Speaker 1: so sum but you said you might be better, and

484
00:23:59,040 --> 00:24:02,959
Speaker 1: I thought you said so Hitchings is he's gone right,

485
00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:06,040
Speaker 1: he's chief four for whatever it is, somewhere five for

486
00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:12,000
Speaker 1: forty five, forty five damn okay. Um. Have they committed

487
00:24:12,119 --> 00:24:14,760
Speaker 1: to taking a linebacker in the first two rounds? Now?

488
00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:16,400
Speaker 1: Is that what they just did to themselves? I think

489
00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:19,480
Speaker 1: first three for sure, top hundred picks. I think, I don't.

490
00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:22,880
Speaker 1: I don't know unless I think. I mean, I talked

491
00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:24,680
Speaker 1: to Steven Jones about this of the combine. We don't

492
00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:26,720
Speaker 1: know what's going to happen with Kyle wilbur. I guess

493
00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:29,640
Speaker 1: theoretically he could be back, but he played like nine

494
00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:33,000
Speaker 1: percent of snaps on defense last year. So I think

495
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:36,400
Speaker 1: Stephen Jones he came, he said, we need two linebackers.

496
00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:38,160
Speaker 1: We've got two that are out of contract. We're gonna

497
00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:41,080
Speaker 1: need to I think it just seems really obvious to

498
00:24:41,119 --> 00:24:43,480
Speaker 1: me that you sign a guy for cheap and free

499
00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:46,720
Speaker 1: agency and think justin Durant think you know that type

500
00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:48,920
Speaker 1: of thing, and then I think you've got a draft

501
00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:51,760
Speaker 1: one in the first three rounds just because we saw

502
00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:54,080
Speaker 1: what can happen when your linebackers aren't healthy last year.

503
00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:57,679
Speaker 1: This week we did on the website We've You and

504
00:24:57,720 --> 00:25:02,159
Speaker 1: I went on Tuesday and Brian and uh Rob picked

505
00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:05,760
Speaker 1: four guys yesterday Dave, who are some of the players

506
00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:07,960
Speaker 1: that you said, And we said, this was a wish list,

507
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:10,200
Speaker 1: this isn't but but we were pretty I mean, we

508
00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:12,760
Speaker 1: weren't crazy about it. We were trying to be Three

509
00:25:12,800 --> 00:25:15,520
Speaker 1: of my four are still available realistic. Feel good about that?

510
00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:19,119
Speaker 1: Do you remember them? Because I don't really remember. I

511
00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:21,680
Speaker 1: had Derek That's I mean, that would be a guy

512
00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:24,880
Speaker 1: that I mean, it makes He's from Waco, he played

513
00:25:24,880 --> 00:25:27,199
Speaker 1: at Texas, he's in the you know, he's winding his

514
00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:29,760
Speaker 1: career down. The fact that he still can play as amazing.

515
00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:33,120
Speaker 1: He's thirty five. Thirty five, Um, you know, four time

516
00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:34,840
Speaker 1: All Pro. He's not he's not gonna play at an

517
00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:37,119
Speaker 1: All Pro level, but he's good in coverage. He can

518
00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:41,160
Speaker 1: play Will and Mike. He's a veteran guy. I can't

519
00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:43,560
Speaker 1: imagine that he would be that expensive to bring in.

520
00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:45,280
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not going to try to ballpark it.

521
00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:48,280
Speaker 1: But he's thirty five. The Cowboys have had success with

522
00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:50,239
Speaker 1: that type of player in the last I would say

523
00:25:50,280 --> 00:25:52,919
Speaker 1: ten years. A couple of times. I mean, Keith Brooking

524
00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:54,680
Speaker 1: was on the downside of his but he still came

525
00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:57,280
Speaker 1: came back, played well. Durant was one of them, not

526
00:25:57,359 --> 00:26:00,720
Speaker 1: as old as as Derek Johnson is. But Zach Thomas

527
00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:02,239
Speaker 1: came in for a year and did a pretty good

528
00:26:02,320 --> 00:26:05,359
Speaker 1: job in the strategy that I have mapped out. I

529
00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:08,160
Speaker 1: only need him for a year. Yeah, because because I'm drafting,

530
00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:11,640
Speaker 1: let's just say Josie Jewel at pick fifty to be

531
00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:15,480
Speaker 1: the Mico, the third linebacker of the future behind Jalen

532
00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:19,320
Speaker 1: and Lee. But if Jalen Smith is sitting here in

533
00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:23,400
Speaker 1: the linebacker room with Sean Lee and Derek Johnson, right,

534
00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:27,040
Speaker 1: He's got to get better. He's got to get better

535
00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:30,640
Speaker 1: up here. I mean every linebacker would, Damian Wilson would

536
00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:33,680
Speaker 1: and should. So I think that that would help your room.

537
00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:35,960
Speaker 1: And I need him ideally, I only need him to

538
00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:39,359
Speaker 1: play like twenty to thirty percent of the snaps. I mean, ideally,

539
00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:41,760
Speaker 1: Jalen Smith is ready to be what they hope he can,

540
00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:44,960
Speaker 1: but you can't bank on that going into the season

541
00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:47,840
Speaker 1: without a backup plan. Question about those linebackers is how

542
00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:51,920
Speaker 1: many linebackers can you have that don't contribute a lot

543
00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:54,800
Speaker 1: on special teams. Yeah, it's true, you know. And that's

544
00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:57,200
Speaker 1: one question you would have with Derek Johnson, like we're

545
00:26:57,200 --> 00:26:59,080
Speaker 1: bringing this guy in, he's going to play a certain

546
00:26:59,119 --> 00:27:01,720
Speaker 1: amount on defense, but then he's not going to really

547
00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:04,160
Speaker 1: play special teams. I say that that's well, that's where

548
00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:07,159
Speaker 1: you got ten picks. That's where my rookie would come in.

549
00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:10,200
Speaker 1: Rookies can play special teams for sure. I mean even

550
00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:12,840
Speaker 1: if they drafted a linebacker at fifty, I'd still make

551
00:27:12,920 --> 00:27:15,159
Speaker 1: him play special teams. But to answer your question, and

552
00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:19,520
Speaker 1: three rounds or whatever, but nineteen overall, like nineteen is

553
00:27:19,520 --> 00:27:22,000
Speaker 1: not a good spot for a linebacker in this year. Right,

554
00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:25,800
Speaker 1: it seems like there's two that are gonna go slider. Well,

555
00:27:25,960 --> 00:27:28,600
Speaker 1: it's it depends. Like I actually had that conversation on

556
00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:31,600
Speaker 1: Twitter yesterday, there's two. There's two studs that are gonna

557
00:27:31,640 --> 00:27:34,399
Speaker 1: ta Tremaine Edmunds and Roquan Smith are the two studs

558
00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:36,680
Speaker 1: that I don't think it's realistic to hope for them there.

559
00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:39,800
Speaker 1: And then there's two others. Rashaun Evans out of Alabama

560
00:27:39,840 --> 00:27:41,280
Speaker 1: as a guy that gets talked about a lot who

561
00:27:41,320 --> 00:27:44,160
Speaker 1: probably fits into that range. And then this kid out

562
00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:48,000
Speaker 1: of Boise State, Layton vander Esch, which people are all

563
00:27:48,040 --> 00:27:49,639
Speaker 1: over the board on him. Some people think he's a

564
00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:52,000
Speaker 1: top twenty pick. Some people think he's a late second

565
00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:55,640
Speaker 1: round pick. Hundred forty tackles last year. Yeah, so there

566
00:27:55,720 --> 00:28:02,320
Speaker 1: are options, but it's not It's not a slam dunkin's either. Yeah,

567
00:28:02,359 --> 00:28:05,359
Speaker 1: it's a slide or a jump for sure. Yeah. Yeah.

568
00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:08,000
Speaker 1: So that's why nineteen just doesn't seem like a good

569
00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:11,840
Speaker 1: Nineteen isn't a great spot for most of what they need.

570
00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:14,440
Speaker 1: That's talk about will Hernandez. I mean they needed a guard,

571
00:28:14,440 --> 00:28:17,280
Speaker 1: and talk about these guards so much because you could

572
00:28:17,320 --> 00:28:21,320
Speaker 1: probably well, Quentin Nelson, he's he's you could probably get

573
00:28:21,359 --> 00:28:24,040
Speaker 1: the second best guard in the draft at nineteen, or

574
00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:26,640
Speaker 1: you could potentially get the best receiver in the draft

575
00:28:26,680 --> 00:28:29,840
Speaker 1: at nineteen. Other than that, the board doesn't really line up.

576
00:28:29,840 --> 00:28:33,760
Speaker 1: I think Ridley is he the best hammer or more

577
00:28:33,520 --> 00:28:36,720
Speaker 1: whichever one you prefer, or I'm probably I don't take

578
00:28:36,760 --> 00:28:39,000
Speaker 1: your pick. I don't think more than one receiver is

579
00:28:39,040 --> 00:28:41,400
Speaker 1: getting picked before like pick fifty. I'll give you some

580
00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:45,000
Speaker 1: credit here. He and I know that you're doing the

581
00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:49,120
Speaker 1: draft show, but you for like the last month you've

582
00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:52,479
Speaker 1: been saying, hey, watch my guy DJ Moore from Maryland,

583
00:28:52,560 --> 00:28:55,719
Speaker 1: who was like a third round pick or something like

584
00:28:55,760 --> 00:28:59,840
Speaker 1: that projected at that point, my safety Irwin James, he's

585
00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:02,320
Speaker 1: he's gonna go to the Combine. He's gonna kill it

586
00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:03,960
Speaker 1: up there, and he's not even gonna be in the

587
00:29:03,960 --> 00:29:06,920
Speaker 1: equation for nineteen. Now, you look at all these other

588
00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:10,080
Speaker 1: draft experts after the combine and they tell you, watch

589
00:29:10,080 --> 00:29:12,520
Speaker 1: out for DJ Moore, watch out for Derwin James. So

590
00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:16,320
Speaker 1: good job on those two. I'll allow I'll allow myself

591
00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:19,040
Speaker 1: to Dj Moore or backpad. But like anybody who follows

592
00:29:19,080 --> 00:29:21,720
Speaker 1: the draft knew that Derwin was. I mean, he's a freak,

593
00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:24,400
Speaker 1: but at that point he was sitting there at I've

594
00:29:24,440 --> 00:29:27,120
Speaker 1: seen mocks with Seattle, I've seen Dallas at nineteen. Now.

595
00:29:27,240 --> 00:29:29,640
Speaker 1: That's well, that's what makes the draft process so fun.

596
00:29:29,760 --> 00:29:31,440
Speaker 1: Like you, I mean, it's all up on a wall

597
00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:34,040
Speaker 1: and it looks one way in January and it looks

598
00:29:34,040 --> 00:29:36,400
Speaker 1: a completely different way and the way of all that stuff,

599
00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:38,760
Speaker 1: and then someone goes, man, I got out that quarterback

600
00:29:38,840 --> 00:29:41,320
Speaker 1: right now. Yeah, and then people trade up and everything

601
00:29:41,360 --> 00:29:44,560
Speaker 1: just goes out the window. Ten ten years ago on

602
00:29:44,560 --> 00:29:47,280
Speaker 1: this show was probably me and Derek and be like,

603
00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:49,920
Speaker 1: all right, well, uh, I was happy Easter to you.

604
00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:52,040
Speaker 1: It was a good um. You know what, the draft

605
00:29:52,200 --> 00:29:54,360
Speaker 1: is coming up in like two weeks, we should start

606
00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:59,840
Speaker 1: talking about the Cowboys are picking where let's talk about that.

607
00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:03,120
Speaker 1: You know, who are some guys now in ten years

608
00:30:03,120 --> 00:30:05,360
Speaker 1: from now, it's going to be like, all right, happy

609
00:30:05,400 --> 00:30:08,000
Speaker 1: Halloween everyone. All right, let's get where. We're about eight

610
00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:10,560
Speaker 1: and a half months from the draft daily draft showing

611
00:30:10,600 --> 00:30:13,240
Speaker 1: October daily getting close to that. Well, I mean that's

612
00:30:13,280 --> 00:30:15,600
Speaker 1: kind of how the team's flus. What shifted? What did

613
00:30:15,680 --> 00:30:17,720
Speaker 1: Brian say today to you? I was in the middle

614
00:30:17,720 --> 00:30:20,760
Speaker 1: of some other crap, dealing with some other stuff, but

615
00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:24,840
Speaker 1: I heard over here about I hate free agency and

616
00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:27,440
Speaker 1: I hate the games of Like, yeah, what do you like? Then?

617
00:30:27,520 --> 00:30:31,040
Speaker 1: He he just wants to draft, wants the draft everything,

618
00:30:32,400 --> 00:30:35,800
Speaker 1: And that's Brian. Brian would like hate the like you know,

619
00:30:35,840 --> 00:30:37,680
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, get Danny Shelton. He would hate that.

620
00:30:37,720 --> 00:30:40,160
Speaker 1: He's just like slimmy draft. Yeah, fine, guys, don't trade

621
00:30:40,160 --> 00:30:43,000
Speaker 1: any of my picks. Fine, guys, see I'm the Yeah,

622
00:30:43,040 --> 00:30:44,920
Speaker 1: if I'm sitting here in the third round and I'm like,

623
00:30:45,280 --> 00:30:47,880
Speaker 1: I can get I mean, the value of players at

624
00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:50,920
Speaker 1: that point is so low. Everyone wants the draft picks,

625
00:30:51,600 --> 00:30:54,320
Speaker 1: and I guess I'm just still remember Randy Moss going

626
00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:57,520
Speaker 1: to the Patriots for a fourth Yeah, y'all haven't been

627
00:30:57,520 --> 00:30:59,400
Speaker 1: doing the draft show for too long though, because Brian

628
00:30:59,440 --> 00:31:01,720
Speaker 1: will say one word and he and Dane just had

629
00:31:01,760 --> 00:31:04,160
Speaker 1: these like, oh, one word conversations back and forth. Or

630
00:31:04,160 --> 00:31:06,040
Speaker 1: Brian's like the guy and Dang's like, yeah, the guy,

631
00:31:06,080 --> 00:31:09,520
Speaker 1: and he's like yeah. It's like, what are y'all talking about.

632
00:31:09,880 --> 00:31:12,840
Speaker 1: It's a conscious effort on my partists like they're like, wait, hey,

633
00:31:13,040 --> 00:31:15,880
Speaker 1: such on the same page. You're speaking another language. Remember

634
00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:18,560
Speaker 1: that there's other people here. The runner all right, yeah,

635
00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:24,040
Speaker 1: let's shift gears to the quarterback. Um got some money.

636
00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:27,640
Speaker 1: I'm talking about the Cowboys quarterback. Yeah he got some money.

637
00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:30,680
Speaker 1: Yeah he got some money. Congratulations. Good yea wake up

638
00:31:30,920 --> 00:31:33,160
Speaker 1: on a random Wednesday in March, and you got four

639
00:31:33,240 --> 00:31:36,560
Speaker 1: hundred thousand extra dollars explaining that never happened to me.

640
00:31:36,680 --> 00:31:41,600
Speaker 1: It's it's something. It's add incentive incentive pay. Like basically,

641
00:31:41,640 --> 00:31:45,200
Speaker 1: if you if you outplay you're you're slotting. Then the

642
00:31:45,280 --> 00:31:47,720
Speaker 1: league rewards you. So, I mean a fourth round pick

643
00:31:47,920 --> 00:31:50,800
Speaker 1: is not expected to play as many snaps as Dak Prescott,

644
00:31:50,840 --> 00:31:53,120
Speaker 1: and so they reward him a little bit extra on

645
00:31:53,160 --> 00:31:58,200
Speaker 1: his salary because it's sort of like it's almost unconstitutional

646
00:31:58,320 --> 00:32:01,440
Speaker 1: how little Dak is being paid or his importance in

647
00:32:01,440 --> 00:32:03,840
Speaker 1: the team. And Anthony Brown got a paid a two

648
00:32:03,880 --> 00:32:06,440
Speaker 1: because he hit like seventy percent of the snaps and

649
00:32:06,480 --> 00:32:09,680
Speaker 1: he's a sixth round pick. Last year, Anthony Hitchins was

650
00:32:09,680 --> 00:32:11,760
Speaker 1: was set to make six fifty and he made and

651
00:32:11,800 --> 00:32:15,280
Speaker 1: he ended up getting one point eight. JJ Wilcox a

652
00:32:15,280 --> 00:32:17,560
Speaker 1: couple years ago had the same thing because he was

653
00:32:17,560 --> 00:32:19,520
Speaker 1: on the field for X amounts in three years, Sir

654
00:32:19,640 --> 00:32:21,560
Speaker 1: and Rick would be the one that was getting So

655
00:32:21,720 --> 00:32:24,080
Speaker 1: what's the pattern here? A third, fourth, fifth, sixth rounds?

656
00:32:24,080 --> 00:32:27,080
Speaker 1: He's middle rounds. If you if you outperform your draft

657
00:32:27,080 --> 00:32:30,120
Speaker 1: slot by a noticeable margin, then then the league basically

658
00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:35,720
Speaker 1: doubled his money, didn't he's making yeah something like that.

659
00:32:36,120 --> 00:32:38,200
Speaker 1: So I don't know how that works with like taxation,

660
00:32:38,440 --> 00:32:40,520
Speaker 1: Like I'm sure he would be March fourteenth, but yeah, no,

661
00:32:40,600 --> 00:32:44,040
Speaker 1: that's awesome here all the sponsors that he gets, Yeah,

662
00:32:44,120 --> 00:32:47,720
Speaker 1: he gets way good for him. He's fine, He's fine.

663
00:32:47,760 --> 00:32:50,040
Speaker 1: Like it's not he's not making his value, but like

664
00:32:50,120 --> 00:32:52,880
Speaker 1: he's okay, Yeah, he's okay. This team goes eight and

665
00:32:52,960 --> 00:32:56,680
Speaker 1: eight next year, is he okay? No? See, that's this

666
00:32:56,760 --> 00:32:59,400
Speaker 1: is the issue that I think we have with with Zack.

667
00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:03,000
Speaker 1: It depends. For sure, I was a very blanket statement

668
00:33:03,040 --> 00:33:06,760
Speaker 1: who he could be playing great? He gets he gets

669
00:33:06,760 --> 00:33:10,520
Speaker 1: compared a lot to Russell Wilson, and that could be

670
00:33:10,560 --> 00:33:15,880
Speaker 1: scary because how many great wide receivers are wanting to

671
00:33:15,920 --> 00:33:19,600
Speaker 1: go to Seattle. Yeah, and Sammy Watkins had a decision

672
00:33:19,600 --> 00:33:21,160
Speaker 1: to make. Now he took a little bit more money.

673
00:33:21,400 --> 00:33:25,080
Speaker 1: Jimmy Graham, that's great, the only one, and then he

674
00:33:25,160 --> 00:33:35,080
Speaker 1: left but underrated, saying maybe maybe Russell Wilson doesn't make

675
00:33:35,120 --> 00:33:38,000
Speaker 1: these receivers that much better. Maybe that That's what I'm

676
00:33:38,080 --> 00:33:40,600
Speaker 1: kind of worried about with with Dak. I mean, what

677
00:33:40,640 --> 00:33:42,400
Speaker 1: if if I'm around the league and I'm liking I'll

678
00:33:42,440 --> 00:33:45,320
Speaker 1: get does his worst year is happening when when he

679
00:33:45,680 --> 00:33:47,560
Speaker 1: him and Dak, maybe I need to go to a

680
00:33:47,640 --> 00:33:50,520
Speaker 1: place where the guy's gonna clearly make me better. And

681
00:33:50,640 --> 00:33:53,120
Speaker 1: Dak's had a position in his career where he's trying

682
00:33:53,160 --> 00:33:55,040
Speaker 1: to figure out himself out. And I don't think he's

683
00:33:55,080 --> 00:33:58,440
Speaker 1: making other receivers better just yet. That's that's what I

684
00:33:58,680 --> 00:34:00,840
Speaker 1: kind of worry about. I wonder if it's got around

685
00:34:00,880 --> 00:34:03,640
Speaker 1: the league, it'll start trickling around, like, you know what,

686
00:34:03,800 --> 00:34:07,120
Speaker 1: why go over here? This guy's had more success some

687
00:34:07,160 --> 00:34:09,719
Speaker 1: of these receivers. Maybe you are trending down. I mean, Paul,

688
00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:13,279
Speaker 1: start adjusting everything around him, and you replaced this because

689
00:34:13,280 --> 00:34:15,480
Speaker 1: they don't work well together, and you get any tied in.

690
00:34:15,600 --> 00:34:19,279
Speaker 1: That's you know, more effective WHOA WHOA into years in

691
00:34:19,320 --> 00:34:21,879
Speaker 1: two or three years, I'm saying, down the road, down

692
00:34:21,880 --> 00:34:24,400
Speaker 1: the road. You move everything around him, and he's the

693
00:34:24,440 --> 00:34:27,560
Speaker 1: one constant in the passing game. Still hasn't changed. Everything's

694
00:34:27,600 --> 00:34:30,440
Speaker 1: Dak friendly, right, and you're still not the offense you

695
00:34:30,480 --> 00:34:33,759
Speaker 1: think you should be. Yeah, exactly think, Hey, that's saying

696
00:34:34,080 --> 00:34:36,840
Speaker 1: Dak friendly. I cannot stand here, thank you because I

697
00:34:36,880 --> 00:34:39,320
Speaker 1: do too. Yeah, I hate it, doesn't I hate it

698
00:34:39,360 --> 00:34:41,520
Speaker 1: when it was Romo friendly. It gets just to just

699
00:34:41,600 --> 00:34:45,120
Speaker 1: make your team better. About that. I mean, I've said

700
00:34:45,160 --> 00:34:47,440
Speaker 1: this a half dozen times at this point. Not the

701
00:34:47,480 --> 00:34:49,759
Speaker 1: only person who's got more writing on twenty eighteen than

702
00:34:49,880 --> 00:34:53,200
Speaker 1: Dak is Jason Garrett. I mean, because Dak's not playing

703
00:34:53,200 --> 00:34:55,359
Speaker 1: for his job because he's under contract for at least

704
00:34:55,360 --> 00:34:58,160
Speaker 1: two more years. But I mean, if if he if

705
00:34:58,280 --> 00:35:00,480
Speaker 1: he's not good, if he steps further back, or if

706
00:35:00,520 --> 00:35:02,680
Speaker 1: the offense is in a rut, and if they don't

707
00:35:02,680 --> 00:35:06,239
Speaker 1: win games, then you're going into twenty nineteen not sure

708
00:35:06,280 --> 00:35:10,239
Speaker 1: about your future quarterback. I mean, I think if they

709
00:35:10,239 --> 00:35:12,400
Speaker 1: don't make the playoffs next year, and then obviously you

710
00:35:12,480 --> 00:35:15,680
Speaker 1: got a new head coach and then they pretty much

711
00:35:15,680 --> 00:35:20,120
Speaker 1: start over. But it depends on how the games go down.

712
00:35:20,160 --> 00:35:22,759
Speaker 1: But I mean I don't think that they would they

713
00:35:22,760 --> 00:35:25,200
Speaker 1: would look at it and go a week that's definitely

714
00:35:25,200 --> 00:35:29,160
Speaker 1: our guy. Well, that's a tough evaluation just because I

715
00:35:29,200 --> 00:35:31,799
Speaker 1: think that based on everything that we've seen so far

716
00:35:31,840 --> 00:35:35,000
Speaker 1: and the things we talked about about coaching and Jason Garrett,

717
00:35:35,040 --> 00:35:38,600
Speaker 1: we've seen that it goes way beyond the players that

718
00:35:38,640 --> 00:35:41,640
Speaker 1: are on the field. So you begin to question, Okay,

719
00:35:41,760 --> 00:35:43,440
Speaker 1: is it really the player or is it the way

720
00:35:43,440 --> 00:35:46,560
Speaker 1: they're being coached? And I know there were some obviously

721
00:35:46,640 --> 00:35:50,840
Speaker 1: coaching changes, but it's still under you know, Scott Linehan

722
00:35:50,960 --> 00:35:53,600
Speaker 1: and Jason Garrett and blah blah blah, and now is

723
00:35:53,640 --> 00:35:56,360
Speaker 1: it really that is the root of the problem coming

724
00:35:56,400 --> 00:36:00,239
Speaker 1: from there or is it the players? I think you

725
00:36:00,280 --> 00:36:03,440
Speaker 1: look around it. There's been great quarterbacks. I'm a quarterback

726
00:36:03,520 --> 00:36:07,359
Speaker 1: drafted really high that had really great rookie seasons. Their

727
00:36:07,400 --> 00:36:10,640
Speaker 1: second season they kind of struggled somewhat and then they

728
00:36:10,640 --> 00:36:13,360
Speaker 1: snowball to the point where they can't get it flipped around.

729
00:36:13,360 --> 00:36:15,839
Speaker 1: And now now Robert Griffin's not in the league, Now

730
00:36:15,840 --> 00:36:18,680
Speaker 1: Colin Kaepernick's not in the league. It could be other

731
00:36:18,719 --> 00:36:21,880
Speaker 1: reasons involved there. But if they were really really good players,

732
00:36:21,960 --> 00:36:23,799
Speaker 1: they would be. But I would I will say this,

733
00:36:23,880 --> 00:36:26,080
Speaker 1: and I'm thinking back to your point about Russ, which is,

734
00:36:26,920 --> 00:36:30,040
Speaker 1: you know, Russ has never needed those guys, because that's

735
00:36:30,239 --> 00:36:32,200
Speaker 1: not I mean, I'm sure he'd prefer them, but that's

736
00:36:32,200 --> 00:36:35,040
Speaker 1: not the way Seattle played anyway. I mean, the first

737
00:36:35,160 --> 00:36:37,120
Speaker 1: four years he was there, it was all based around

738
00:36:37,120 --> 00:36:39,160
Speaker 1: the run. I mean, Marshawn Lynch made it move and

739
00:36:39,480 --> 00:36:42,040
Speaker 1: he made good decisions. He got away from pressure and

740
00:36:42,360 --> 00:36:44,160
Speaker 1: made plays to his receivers. I mean what he had

741
00:36:44,239 --> 00:36:48,879
Speaker 1: Baldwin curse, they traded for Harvin, They didn't bring Jimmy

742
00:36:48,920 --> 00:36:50,560
Speaker 1: Graham on to a way late, and so I think

743
00:36:50,600 --> 00:36:53,959
Speaker 1: about let's just assume Dak is actually really good, because

744
00:36:53,960 --> 00:36:56,200
Speaker 1: I think he is. I'm not really worried about his

745
00:36:56,280 --> 00:37:01,120
Speaker 1: long term future. But Colby's is a free agent after

746
00:37:01,160 --> 00:37:03,920
Speaker 1: this season. You can one way or another. We're already

747
00:37:03,920 --> 00:37:06,879
Speaker 1: talking about shedding Dez and his contract. That's not a

748
00:37:06,880 --> 00:37:08,920
Speaker 1: long term issue one way or the other. Next year,

749
00:37:08,960 --> 00:37:10,959
Speaker 1: it's a lot easier to get off there, exactly. So

750
00:37:11,120 --> 00:37:13,600
Speaker 1: what's it really all about. It's all about your running game,

751
00:37:13,800 --> 00:37:17,359
Speaker 1: your one hundred and fifty billion dollar offensive line. You're

752
00:37:17,440 --> 00:37:19,799
Speaker 1: running back and your quarterbacks ability to play a role

753
00:37:19,840 --> 00:37:22,480
Speaker 1: in that. And you know, I'm not worried about their

754
00:37:22,520 --> 00:37:26,080
Speaker 1: ability to plug in young, inexpensive receivers who can do

755
00:37:26,080 --> 00:37:28,920
Speaker 1: the job better. I think the way this team's constructed,

756
00:37:28,960 --> 00:37:31,719
Speaker 1: even if Dad continues to take steps forward, I don't

757
00:37:31,719 --> 00:37:34,280
Speaker 1: see a reason why you need to be investing tens

758
00:37:34,280 --> 00:37:37,560
Speaker 1: of millions and dollars in receiver for the time being. Anyway,

759
00:37:37,600 --> 00:37:40,240
Speaker 1: you know what, I'm surprised has not really been mentioned

760
00:37:40,239 --> 00:37:42,560
Speaker 1: a whole lot. But it's always about Dez and what

761
00:37:42,760 --> 00:37:45,440
Speaker 1: they do there. But what if he's not the receiver

762
00:37:45,520 --> 00:37:47,800
Speaker 1: that needs to be released? What if that's not the

763
00:37:47,960 --> 00:37:50,720
Speaker 1: contract I mean, let's think about it. Who can replace

764
00:37:50,760 --> 00:37:53,560
Speaker 1: what Dez has done on this team. I don't know

765
00:37:53,600 --> 00:37:55,600
Speaker 1: if there is a guy that can do that. I've

766
00:37:55,640 --> 00:37:57,600
Speaker 1: been saying this for a while. Look at Cole Beasley.

767
00:37:58,080 --> 00:38:00,280
Speaker 1: Is there anybody that can replace what cold be easy?

768
00:38:00,560 --> 00:38:03,439
Speaker 1: We just drafted one. I mean, I mean, he's not

769
00:38:03,480 --> 00:38:05,880
Speaker 1: there yet, but he Oh, he's got to get on

770
00:38:05,920 --> 00:38:07,680
Speaker 1: the field to have a chance. I know, but I

771
00:38:07,680 --> 00:38:10,520
Speaker 1: mean there was Cole sitting there. I mean, that's that's

772
00:38:10,560 --> 00:38:12,600
Speaker 1: the only one of those three receiver deals that they

773
00:38:12,600 --> 00:38:15,840
Speaker 1: can get off of and not have any dead money, nothing, nothing.

774
00:38:16,440 --> 00:38:18,120
Speaker 1: And you drafted a guy in the fourth round last

775
00:38:18,160 --> 00:38:21,239
Speaker 1: year that you apparently liked enough to get him touches consistently,

776
00:38:21,239 --> 00:38:24,480
Speaker 1: whether special teams or offense, and they obviously tried to

777
00:38:24,520 --> 00:38:27,600
Speaker 1: take that part away. I'm not saying it's a it's

778
00:38:27,600 --> 00:38:30,520
Speaker 1: a great idea. I'm just saying, maybe you can restructure

779
00:38:30,520 --> 00:38:33,040
Speaker 1: things a little bit from that standpoint. I don't disagree

780
00:38:33,080 --> 00:38:36,120
Speaker 1: with anything you're saying. I just don't think Cole Beasley

781
00:38:36,200 --> 00:38:38,520
Speaker 1: is not commanding enough money, nor is he like hurting.

782
00:38:38,800 --> 00:38:41,480
Speaker 1: He's not hurting the team. It's just like that idea,

783
00:38:41,640 --> 00:38:44,279
Speaker 1: that's the reason. Nope. The reason we talk about death

784
00:38:44,320 --> 00:38:46,640
Speaker 1: so much is because you see that sixteen point fil

785
00:38:46,880 --> 00:38:50,920
Speaker 1: five million chargs just hanging over everything. Whereas I mean,

786
00:38:51,320 --> 00:38:55,160
Speaker 1: it doesn't drastically alter anything if Beasley's gone. So that's

787
00:38:55,239 --> 00:38:57,720
Speaker 1: I just I don't know. I mean he obviously William

788
00:38:57,760 --> 00:39:01,200
Speaker 1: doesn't it. Yeah, I mean number it saves you some money.

789
00:39:01,239 --> 00:39:03,719
Speaker 1: But again, like it's it's not just like this ah

790
00:39:03,920 --> 00:39:06,520
Speaker 1: like this beam of cap space. And he was the

791
00:39:06,560 --> 00:39:09,680
Speaker 1: one guy that seemed to probably garner the most attention

792
00:39:09,719 --> 00:39:12,359
Speaker 1: from from other But what did we do after they

793
00:39:12,560 --> 00:39:15,520
Speaker 1: started focusing on Cole Beasley? Like we didn't adjust and

794
00:39:15,920 --> 00:39:19,000
Speaker 1: make plays off that. So I put a cheaper guys.

795
00:39:19,400 --> 00:39:21,200
Speaker 1: I don't know why you would even bring him up

796
00:39:21,239 --> 00:39:24,200
Speaker 1: to the conversation when you look out, I get point.

797
00:39:24,719 --> 00:39:26,919
Speaker 1: He's not the first person to suggests that. But it's

798
00:39:26,920 --> 00:39:29,080
Speaker 1: like you look at the group of wide receivers and

799
00:39:29,120 --> 00:39:31,840
Speaker 1: we know how Cole has helped this team, and the

800
00:39:31,880 --> 00:39:34,840
Speaker 1: point was the coverage he was getting. You know, he

801
00:39:35,040 --> 00:39:39,080
Speaker 1: was very limited in that way. And why is that?

802
00:39:39,400 --> 00:39:41,799
Speaker 1: Because he is good and he is one of those

803
00:39:42,120 --> 00:39:44,799
Speaker 1: Jason Witten and him is one of those guys that

804
00:39:44,920 --> 00:39:48,239
Speaker 1: Dad could easily go to. But he's also limited, Like

805
00:39:48,280 --> 00:39:51,560
Speaker 1: you said limited, he's limited and the things he can do,

806
00:39:51,640 --> 00:39:54,279
Speaker 1: he can only play a certain position. And I think

807
00:39:54,280 --> 00:39:56,840
Speaker 1: you would have to change the structure of your offense

808
00:39:56,880 --> 00:39:59,600
Speaker 1: and how you're doing things if he wasn't there. All

809
00:39:59,600 --> 00:40:02,319
Speaker 1: I'm saying and is is like his contract doesn't hurt you.

810
00:40:02,840 --> 00:40:05,040
Speaker 1: I don't think you would cut him. I mean, he

811
00:40:05,400 --> 00:40:08,080
Speaker 1: seems like that would be a tradable type type situation

812
00:40:08,160 --> 00:40:10,479
Speaker 1: for sure, if you wanted to go that. My thought

813
00:40:10,600 --> 00:40:13,439
Speaker 1: is just like, put someone better somewhere else and leave

814
00:40:13,560 --> 00:40:20,360
Speaker 1: him there. He and great, great point, someone better the

815
00:40:20,440 --> 00:40:23,880
Speaker 1: goal the goal? Right, Yeah, we're in we just fast

816
00:40:23,920 --> 00:40:26,480
Speaker 1: forward a year. Well, we are in a we are

817
00:40:26,480 --> 00:40:28,920
Speaker 1: in a weird sort of limbo with that, with almost

818
00:40:28,920 --> 00:40:32,200
Speaker 1: the entire passing game really with the role he fulfills.

819
00:40:32,280 --> 00:40:35,480
Speaker 1: That's someone on a rookie contract fills that role. But

820
00:40:35,520 --> 00:40:37,279
Speaker 1: alrty catch a year guy. That's a guy in a

821
00:40:37,320 --> 00:40:39,719
Speaker 1: rookie contract, Like that's what you expect from them, not

822
00:40:39,800 --> 00:40:41,719
Speaker 1: from your guy you just re up for. I mean

823
00:40:41,840 --> 00:40:44,600
Speaker 1: four years, he had seventy something in sixteen. I mean

824
00:40:44,640 --> 00:40:48,319
Speaker 1: he can yeah more. Well, yeah, I haven't seen him

825
00:40:48,360 --> 00:40:51,640
Speaker 1: do more recently. I I just so Daz and Terrence's

826
00:40:51,680 --> 00:40:54,120
Speaker 1: deals are easy to get out of next year. Easily's

827
00:40:54,200 --> 00:40:57,359
Speaker 1: deal is over next year. And Jason Witten, I mean

828
00:40:57,840 --> 00:41:00,320
Speaker 1: when he decides to retire, it shouldn't shock any buddies.

829
00:41:00,360 --> 00:41:04,040
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't think so much this year, but now,

830
00:41:04,120 --> 00:41:06,239
Speaker 1: I mean, starting in twenty nineteen, you see a real

831
00:41:06,320 --> 00:41:08,560
Speaker 1: turnover and what the passing game on this team really

832
00:41:08,600 --> 00:41:10,840
Speaker 1: looks like. All right, we're gonna take our last breakcare

833

Speaker 1: you know what a woman really likes. No, I've been

883
00:43:43,400 --> 00:43:45,439
Speaker 1: searching for the answer to that question my whole life.

884
00:43:45,560 --> 00:43:51,799
Speaker 1: No idea some nice comfy, soft underwear. You know what

885
00:43:52,160 --> 00:43:54,439
Speaker 1: women does not like? No, I don't know the answer

886
00:43:54,520 --> 00:43:56,600
Speaker 1: to that. I know plenty of that. Well looking and

887
00:43:56,719 --> 00:44:01,400
Speaker 1: man looking at a man adjusting their job fair don't

888
00:44:01,440 --> 00:44:06,040
Speaker 1: like that. So when your man wears nice soft, comfy underwear,

889
00:44:06,640 --> 00:44:10,000
Speaker 1: there's no adjusting. You don't see that. You like the

895
00:44:32,320 --> 00:44:36,200
Speaker 1: want a lady that lacks your area, look for some

896
00:44:36,280 --> 00:44:38,800
Speaker 1: soft underwear. I don't know what you were worried about.

897
00:44:38,880 --> 00:44:43,239
Speaker 1: That was great, It's fantastic, wonderful. You're a spokesperson. There

898
00:44:43,280 --> 00:44:46,759
Speaker 1: you go, I got real. I got called out. Um well, no,

899
00:44:46,960 --> 00:44:49,800
Speaker 1: Dave al Shan's deal with Philly was for fourteen million,

900
00:44:49,880 --> 00:44:53,239
Speaker 1: so idency I undersold the worth of that. But still

901
00:44:53,239 --> 00:44:56,040
Speaker 1: a one year prove it deal like that's nowhere near

902
00:44:56,080 --> 00:45:00,160
Speaker 1: as gross to me is committing three to five years,

903
00:45:00,200 --> 00:45:03,040
Speaker 1: you know with whatever I looked at Uparantinas, y'all said

904
00:45:03,040 --> 00:45:05,640
Speaker 1: that I looked it up because the number fourteen was

905
00:45:05,680 --> 00:45:07,879
Speaker 1: always in my head with Alison, I get, I get

906
00:45:08,000 --> 00:45:11,840
Speaker 1: Jeffrey and Pryor confused probably for less. There's a reason

907
00:45:11,920 --> 00:45:14,759
Speaker 1: why you said that it was a one year he

908
00:45:14,880 --> 00:45:18,360
Speaker 1: got nine million last year. They put a lot of

909
00:45:18,400 --> 00:45:21,040
Speaker 1: other years on there that that he could he could

910
00:45:21,080 --> 00:45:25,239
Speaker 1: get that like with a option it all averages to fourteen.

911
00:45:25,400 --> 00:45:27,920
Speaker 1: Looks pretty for fourteen. If he would have sucked, that

912
00:45:27,960 --> 00:45:29,239
Speaker 1: could have cut him. It would have been a one

913
00:45:29,320 --> 00:45:32,480
Speaker 1: year nine million. So you're you're kind of right about that,

914
00:45:32,719 --> 00:45:34,799
Speaker 1: kind of like the Henry Melton deal that we did

915
00:45:34,840 --> 00:45:37,960
Speaker 1: here a few years ago exactly, and the deals that

916
00:45:38,480 --> 00:45:41,239
Speaker 1: Haynesworth got with And there's a lot of that going

917
00:45:41,320 --> 00:45:45,880
Speaker 1: on right now where Sherman Richard Sherman's deal in San Francisco.

918
00:45:46,000 --> 00:45:48,120
Speaker 1: Like at the end of the day, it's like one year,

919
00:45:48,400 --> 00:45:50,960
Speaker 1: nine million dollars unless he doesn't hit all of his stuff.

920
00:45:51,040 --> 00:45:53,480
Speaker 1: Let's talk about that one real quick, because over the weekend,

921
00:45:53,719 --> 00:45:56,760
Speaker 1: cowboys were getting crucified at least through my Twitter timeline

922
00:45:56,760 --> 00:45:59,080
Speaker 1: about why they didn't go that route. Just remember there

923
00:45:59,160 --> 00:46:02,400
Speaker 1: they're his position coaches here, Chris Richard, he's here, he

924
00:46:02,840 --> 00:46:05,000
Speaker 1: knows what kind of player he is. That doesn't mean

925
00:46:05,040 --> 00:46:09,040
Speaker 1: that they didn't like him, but coming off an Achilles injury, like, well,

926
00:46:09,080 --> 00:46:11,520
Speaker 1: I mean with that kind of money, I don't know. Thanks,

927
00:46:11,600 --> 00:46:13,799
Speaker 1: I'm here. I'm here for you if you want to

928
00:46:13,840 --> 00:46:16,399
Speaker 1: wind to me about almost anything, like I'll at least

929
00:46:16,440 --> 00:46:19,640
Speaker 1: listen to it. But Richard Sherman's almost thirty. He blew

930
00:46:19,680 --> 00:46:23,040
Speaker 1: out as Achilles, and he's gonna want a sizeable deal

931
00:46:23,120 --> 00:46:25,560
Speaker 1: to come here. And I'm not saying the Cowboys are

932
00:46:25,600 --> 00:46:27,839
Speaker 1: loaded with all pro corners, but the whole point of

933
00:46:27,840 --> 00:46:30,560
Speaker 1: what they did last year is they've got four to

934
00:46:30,719 --> 00:46:33,719
Speaker 1: five solid defensive backs who were playing for pennies on

935
00:46:33,719 --> 00:46:36,640
Speaker 1: the dollar. Like you're you're trying to be efficient here,

936
00:46:36,680 --> 00:46:40,520
Speaker 1: and that's just a completely inefficient signing. You invested heavily. Yeah,

937
00:46:40,640 --> 00:46:44,080
Speaker 1: Jordan cheated of your woods, Like, let those guys turn

938
00:46:44,120 --> 00:46:46,000
Speaker 1: into something like the Saints did last year and Anthony

939
00:46:46,480 --> 00:46:49,080
Speaker 1: that matter. Yeah, Saints played all their rookies when they

940
00:46:49,080 --> 00:46:51,160
Speaker 1: were young last year. They reaped the benefits of it

941
00:46:51,200 --> 00:46:53,520
Speaker 1: because those guys got experienced, they were good. If if

942
00:46:53,560 --> 00:46:55,879
Speaker 1: they are good enough to hold those jobs, then you've

943
00:46:55,960 --> 00:46:59,240
Speaker 1: got a starting secondary that you're paying the same amount

944
00:46:59,280 --> 00:47:01,640
Speaker 1: of money that Rman is making off of one year

945
00:47:01,680 --> 00:47:03,440
Speaker 1: of his deal. I mean, that's the whole point. You're

946
00:47:03,480 --> 00:47:06,719
Speaker 1: trying to find talent for cheap. Let's talk Scandrick real quick.

947
00:47:06,760 --> 00:47:10,160
Speaker 1: Scandrick apparently has has let it be known that he

948
00:47:10,239 --> 00:47:14,200
Speaker 1: wants to get traded. Release right. I mean, I'm sorry,

949
00:47:14,239 --> 00:47:17,759
Speaker 1: release trade whatever he wants to go to another team. No, no,

950
00:47:17,800 --> 00:47:19,759
Speaker 1: he doesn't want to get traded. You're right. He wants

951
00:47:19,760 --> 00:47:21,840
Speaker 1: to get the same thing with Dez. He wants to

952
00:47:21,840 --> 00:47:25,320
Speaker 1: get another contract. Um bet Dez would like another contract.

953
00:47:25,400 --> 00:47:28,239
Speaker 1: I bet, I bet you know Zeke would like maybe

954
00:47:28,280 --> 00:47:30,000
Speaker 1: another guy to kind of help him. I mean, that's

955
00:47:30,000 --> 00:47:32,520
Speaker 1: cool that he requested that. I don't think the Cowboys

956
00:47:32,600 --> 00:47:36,920
Speaker 1: will or should do anything there. Thanks for your input, Orlando.

957
00:47:37,120 --> 00:47:39,880
Speaker 1: I think not. I think he'll will do what we

958
00:47:39,920 --> 00:47:41,560
Speaker 1: want to do. I think he'll get his wish at

959
00:47:41,600 --> 00:47:44,399
Speaker 1: some point. But when people stop talking about him, that's

960
00:47:44,440 --> 00:47:47,440
Speaker 1: when he puts something into get people start talking. He

961
00:47:47,719 --> 00:47:49,920
Speaker 1: acts like a former player, and he's not a former

962
00:47:49,960 --> 00:47:53,719
Speaker 1: player yet, but he acts like that. Like that, those

963
00:47:53,719 --> 00:47:56,360
Speaker 1: guys will just throw out some outlandish headline just because

964
00:47:56,360 --> 00:47:58,360
Speaker 1: it's really more like, don't forget about me. I was

965
00:47:58,360 --> 00:48:01,319
Speaker 1: a good player once, and he does. He's like he

966
00:48:01,400 --> 00:48:03,600
Speaker 1: wants to get involved with the free agency stuff. If

967
00:48:03,600 --> 00:48:06,680
Speaker 1: I'm the Cowboys, I'd wait two weeks. I think he'll

968
00:48:06,680 --> 00:48:08,440
Speaker 1: get his wish. But yeah, I don't see any reason

969
00:48:08,520 --> 00:48:10,160
Speaker 1: why you have to do it right now. He's seen

970
00:48:10,200 --> 00:48:12,680
Speaker 1: the writing on the wall, right, Yeah, they've invested so

971
00:48:12,760 --> 00:48:14,680
Speaker 1: much in the other cornerbacks that are around all it

972
00:48:14,800 --> 00:48:17,160
Speaker 1: last year. Yeah, he'd probably been banking on this for

973
00:48:17,200 --> 00:48:19,399
Speaker 1: a year. He probably saw this happening when I think

974
00:48:19,400 --> 00:48:21,759
Speaker 1: you're trying to replace him. Okay, so let's say he's

975
00:48:21,760 --> 00:48:25,920
Speaker 1: not on this team, you still need a veteran cornerback

976
00:48:26,040 --> 00:48:28,160
Speaker 1: or something. I mean, I don't. I don't like just

977
00:48:28,239 --> 00:48:33,120
Speaker 1: going with those two rookies plus Anthony Brown plus whatever

978
00:48:33,520 --> 00:48:37,440
Speaker 1: Byron Jones is going to be. Uh, I don't think nobody.

979
00:48:37,440 --> 00:48:39,000
Speaker 1: How many more do you want? I mean, I think

980
00:48:39,000 --> 00:48:41,200
Speaker 1: I'm fine with it. Yeah, I think so you're probably

981
00:48:41,200 --> 00:48:43,719
Speaker 1: only going to carry five on a team, right, I mean,

982
00:48:43,880 --> 00:48:47,200
Speaker 1: and don't I'm again not draft one, but you don't

983
00:48:47,200 --> 00:48:50,000
Speaker 1: feel comfortable enough with got Duke Thomas hanging around two?

984
00:48:50,080 --> 00:48:52,680
Speaker 1: I mean, he's still here. I'm fine with it. I

985
00:48:53,640 --> 00:48:56,080
Speaker 1: think a safety needs to be and the safety needs

986
00:48:56,080 --> 00:48:57,640
Speaker 1: to be added to the mix one way or the other.

987
00:48:57,719 --> 00:49:02,879
Speaker 1: But I don't think you don't think. I don't think so. Man,

988
00:49:02,960 --> 00:49:05,600
Speaker 1: if if it didn't cheat on the outside, Xavier playing slot,

989
00:49:05,640 --> 00:49:08,000
Speaker 1: Byron Jones playing slot, and then you've got Jeff Heath

990
00:49:08,040 --> 00:49:10,080
Speaker 1: and whoever you want to work at Byron and Cheeto

991
00:49:10,160 --> 00:49:12,719
Speaker 1: on the outside, Jordan in the slot. Brown is your

992
00:49:12,800 --> 00:49:16,000
Speaker 1: number four either way, and then Woods can do a

993
00:49:16,000 --> 00:49:18,360
Speaker 1: little bit of everything, well, at least in like probably

994
00:49:18,400 --> 00:49:20,839
Speaker 1: not outside, but Anthony Brown still there. I mean, that's

995
00:49:21,200 --> 00:49:23,600
Speaker 1: that's the one position I really liked their dipths if

996
00:49:23,600 --> 00:49:26,680
Speaker 1: it fell to where you know, we talk about how

997
00:49:26,680 --> 00:49:29,120
Speaker 1: the board doesn't line up with their needs. If if

998
00:49:29,160 --> 00:49:31,360
Speaker 1: Mike Hughes at a UCF is there at nineteen and

999
00:49:31,400 --> 00:49:33,279
Speaker 1: he's the best guy on your board, okay, but I mean,

1000
00:49:34,120 --> 00:49:37,440
Speaker 1: look at it is this gigantic cornerback is the least

1001
00:49:37,480 --> 00:49:41,080
Speaker 1: of my word, Josh Jackson, where's that? Where's he going? Yeah?

1002
00:49:41,120 --> 00:49:44,120
Speaker 1: That area too, probably late first round, first or at

1003
00:49:44,120 --> 00:49:48,080
Speaker 1: the second. I don't think cornerback should never ever, it

1004
00:49:48,080 --> 00:49:50,959
Speaker 1: should never be the least of your concerns because that's

1005
00:49:51,000 --> 00:49:53,440
Speaker 1: the position that gets you beat that. I mean that

1006
00:49:55,320 --> 00:49:57,440
Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, I'm not saying going get

1007
00:49:57,440 --> 00:50:00,719
Speaker 1: another Nolan Carroll because that bombed. I'm just saying get

1008
00:50:01,280 --> 00:50:03,880
Speaker 1: somebody else in. There's some some more veterans. So the

1009
00:50:03,920 --> 00:50:07,279
Speaker 1: fact of maybe not having our Lando Scandrick bag troubles you.

1010
00:50:08,120 --> 00:50:12,879
Speaker 1: Somebody that can say, Hey, like we just got off

1011
00:50:12,880 --> 00:50:17,640
Speaker 1: the bus and Green Bay, where's the locker room? I

1012
00:50:17,640 --> 00:50:19,560
Speaker 1: don't know. I haven't been here. I haven't been two years.

1013
00:50:19,600 --> 00:50:22,239
Speaker 1: I don't know anything. I mean, not just that, but

1014
00:50:22,320 --> 00:50:26,160
Speaker 1: like I've played this quarterback before, I've played this guy before, Scandrick,

1015
00:50:26,200 --> 00:50:29,040
Speaker 1: You're gonna lose a lot with terms of a smart

1016
00:50:29,640 --> 00:50:32,880
Speaker 1: cornerback that kind of knows the league. He understands a

1017
00:50:32,920 --> 00:50:35,719
Speaker 1: lot of concepts. He's seen a lot. Say what you

1018
00:50:35,760 --> 00:50:38,360
Speaker 1: want about him being grumpy and Oscar the grounds or whatever.

1019
00:50:38,719 --> 00:50:42,759
Speaker 1: He's a smart player. He reminds me smart guy like

1020
00:50:42,880 --> 00:50:46,799
Speaker 1: smart guy. He reminds me a lot of ways of

1021
00:50:46,920 --> 00:50:50,200
Speaker 1: Richard Sherman. He's not as loud as as him, but

1022
00:50:50,320 --> 00:50:53,080
Speaker 1: he is very smart. I could see where Scandrick could

1023
00:50:53,080 --> 00:50:55,880
Speaker 1: be his own agent, just like Sherman. He understands the

1024
00:50:55,880 --> 00:50:57,799
Speaker 1: concept of things. I don't want people to mistake us

1025
00:50:57,800 --> 00:50:59,800
Speaker 1: saying we don't have to replace him for saying he

1026
00:50:59,840 --> 00:51:02,200
Speaker 1: has no value and he's not a good player. Yeah,

1027
00:51:02,239 --> 00:51:04,520
Speaker 1: he's a good player. I could just see some value

1028
00:51:04,520 --> 00:51:07,120
Speaker 1: in the room because I don't think Byron. I think

1029
00:51:07,120 --> 00:51:08,760
Speaker 1: they did that last year. I think that's they saw

1030
00:51:08,840 --> 00:51:12,640
Speaker 1: this coming and they took a sledgehammer after it. Added

1031
00:51:12,640 --> 00:51:16,680
Speaker 1: three rookies. Yeah, and you know, retain They're keeping Byron. Obviously,

1032
00:51:16,840 --> 00:51:19,919
Speaker 1: they're keeping Jeff Heath. They're they're deep. Who can never

1033
00:51:19,960 --> 00:51:22,040
Speaker 1: have you can never have enough corners. But it's not

1034
00:51:22,160 --> 00:51:25,040
Speaker 1: something I'm losing sleep about. I think I would look

1035
00:51:25,160 --> 00:51:27,160
Speaker 1: at the potential I can't move about to say this

1036
00:51:27,920 --> 00:51:31,120
Speaker 1: about signing and free agency, which would really be resigning

1037
00:51:32,080 --> 00:51:36,840
Speaker 1: Mo Claiborne. Okay, anythink but why I love to have

1038
00:51:36,880 --> 00:51:39,120
Speaker 1: another Tiger in the room. But but I mean I

1039
00:51:39,120 --> 00:51:42,080
Speaker 1: don't I don't know. Man didn't do anything for you,

1040
00:51:42,200 --> 00:51:45,440
Speaker 1: not really? How much? Yeah, it's always the question, Yeah,

1041
00:51:45,480 --> 00:51:47,960
Speaker 1: how much discount deal to come? Hey, if it's a

1042
00:51:49,920 --> 00:51:51,719
Speaker 1: give it to me. Yeah. And if I told you

1043
00:51:51,840 --> 00:51:54,440
Speaker 1: the Cowboys would move up the sixth overall pick. I'm

1044
00:51:54,520 --> 00:51:58,320
Speaker 1: the best defensive player and he wouldn't do anything four years.

1045
00:51:58,960 --> 00:52:01,600
Speaker 1: I'm not watching at thirty for thirty. You know it's

1046
00:52:01,640 --> 00:52:04,799
Speaker 1: really a five for five. It's a short. I'm not

1047
00:52:04,880 --> 00:52:07,719
Speaker 1: alluding to who you think I'm alluding to, but just

1048
00:52:07,840 --> 00:52:10,000
Speaker 1: what if they I mean, bring in a veteran safety instead.

1049
00:52:10,000 --> 00:52:11,879
Speaker 1: I mean, it doesn't have to be a cornerback. Et

1050
00:52:12,080 --> 00:52:13,759
Speaker 1: come home. No, it's not who I'm talking about what

1051
00:52:13,840 --> 00:52:16,319
Speaker 1: you're saying talking about. It. Just told you he'd signed

1052
00:52:16,360 --> 00:52:19,239
Speaker 1: Kenny Vacaro. He could sign anybody. Just add. I mean,

1053
00:52:19,239 --> 00:52:22,000
Speaker 1: they need a safety, whether it's the draft or free agency,

1054
00:52:22,040 --> 00:52:23,920
Speaker 1: they need one. I agree, I agree with. Then I

1055
00:52:24,080 --> 00:52:26,560
Speaker 1: go veteran safety there before I go veteran corner. I

1056
00:52:26,600 --> 00:52:28,239
Speaker 1: do think it's a it's a bigger need. I just

1057
00:52:28,320 --> 00:52:31,680
Speaker 1: I just somebody in the room. I think they'll probably

1058
00:52:31,680 --> 00:52:35,120
Speaker 1: do a Nolan Carroll type deal something like that. Just

1059
00:52:35,320 --> 00:52:37,840
Speaker 1: have some veteran. I was so upset a couple of

1060
00:52:37,880 --> 00:52:40,800
Speaker 1: years ago whenever they didn't go after Eric Wettle whatever.

1061
00:52:40,880 --> 00:52:42,839
Speaker 1: He got free, and I'm like, I want that type

1062
00:52:42,840 --> 00:52:45,000
Speaker 1: of duty. He doesn't have to play every snap. He's

1063
00:52:45,000 --> 00:52:47,480
Speaker 1: a Nickels safety guy, and he balled out for ball.

1064
00:52:47,560 --> 00:52:49,520
Speaker 1: Then you got here and you said, he looked up

1065
00:52:49,560 --> 00:52:52,560
Speaker 1: at our social media coordinator and you're like, damn, they

1066
00:52:52,560 --> 00:52:59,879
Speaker 1: did get Eric good point shifted jobs. Yeah, yeah, it's

1067
00:53:00,040 --> 00:53:03,319
Speaker 1: five minutes left. The one thing the Cowboys have done

1068
00:53:03,400 --> 00:53:05,719
Speaker 1: other than tag to Marcus, which for the end, did

1069
00:53:05,719 --> 00:53:09,239
Speaker 1: we figure out how they got there? I don't. I

1070
00:53:09,280 --> 00:53:11,440
Speaker 1: don't think they needed to get there. I think that

1071
00:53:11,560 --> 00:53:16,120
Speaker 1: was miscellaneously or erroneously reported. Not. That's why we don't

1072
00:53:16,160 --> 00:53:19,799
Speaker 1: talk about this um salary cap a lot, because I

1073
00:53:19,800 --> 00:53:21,719
Speaker 1: think a lot of fans treat it like they're at

1074
00:53:21,719 --> 00:53:24,160
Speaker 1: a basketball game and there's a scoreboard and says that's

1075
00:53:24,200 --> 00:53:27,520
Speaker 1: exactly what they have left. You can look at contracts

1076
00:53:27,560 --> 00:53:31,719
Speaker 1: forty four different ways, probably more than that, and there

1077
00:53:31,760 --> 00:53:33,560
Speaker 1: might be a figure that says they were for twelve

1078
00:53:33,600 --> 00:53:36,040
Speaker 1: thousand dollars. Yeah, that was not and it might have

1079
00:53:36,040 --> 00:53:39,279
Speaker 1: been plugged in with a two point nine million, one

1080
00:53:39,360 --> 00:53:42,279
Speaker 1: year tender for David Irving, which is what he got.

1081
00:53:42,360 --> 00:53:45,520
Speaker 1: So second round tender two point nine to one million dollars.

1082
00:53:45,680 --> 00:53:49,279
Speaker 1: He will explain the process of how what happens from here.

1083
00:53:49,960 --> 00:53:52,320
Speaker 1: Their team could sign him, say somebody wants him, anybody

1084
00:53:52,600 --> 00:53:55,359
Speaker 1: nine ers won him. Let's forty nine ers can take

1085
00:53:55,560 --> 00:53:58,520
Speaker 1: that number and make him an offer sheet. It famously

1086
00:53:58,520 --> 00:54:01,279
Speaker 1: happened a couple of years ago with c Anderson. Think

1087
00:54:01,320 --> 00:54:03,880
Speaker 1: Miami tried to sign him to a three year, eighteen

1088
00:54:03,920 --> 00:54:07,319
Speaker 1: million dollar deal. Denver said, nope, we want you, which

1089
00:54:07,360 --> 00:54:09,440
Speaker 1: is ironic because they're talking about cutting him right now.

1090
00:54:10,000 --> 00:54:13,400
Speaker 1: What happens in free agency. But so they matched that,

1091
00:54:13,520 --> 00:54:15,000
Speaker 1: or actually I think they beat it out, but they

1092
00:54:15,000 --> 00:54:19,440
Speaker 1: gave him a better deal. So theoretically, David Irving could

1093
00:54:19,440 --> 00:54:21,160
Speaker 1: play this year on a one year, two point nine

1094
00:54:21,200 --> 00:54:24,160
Speaker 1: million dollars deal if nobody offers him anything. The Cowboys

1095
00:54:24,280 --> 00:54:26,920
Speaker 1: don't have to give him any another dime. But the

1096
00:54:27,000 --> 00:54:28,960
Speaker 1: forty nine ers will say, come in, they want to

1097
00:54:28,960 --> 00:54:33,960
Speaker 1: go four years sixteen. Okay, okay, four year sixteen. The

1098
00:54:33,960 --> 00:54:36,239
Speaker 1: Cowboys says, well match that. If they don't, they will

1099
00:54:36,239 --> 00:54:38,359
Speaker 1: get a second round pick from the forty nine ers

1100
00:54:38,400 --> 00:54:41,239
Speaker 1: this year. This year's which I don't think the forty

1101
00:54:41,320 --> 00:54:43,279
Speaker 1: nine ers actually have one because they traded it to

1102
00:54:43,280 --> 00:54:45,640
Speaker 1: New England for Garoppolo. But witch it up to the

1103
00:54:46,360 --> 00:54:48,680
Speaker 1: let's let him go right if someone comes in with

1104
00:54:48,719 --> 00:54:51,040
Speaker 1: a second round pick, there is only there is only

1105
00:54:51,120 --> 00:54:54,759
Speaker 1: one explanation. There's only one explanation. For why they would

1106
00:54:54,960 --> 00:54:56,759
Speaker 1: if you're giving him a second round tender, it's because

1107
00:54:56,760 --> 00:54:59,280
Speaker 1: you don't actually want him that much. You'd be fine.

1108
00:54:59,320 --> 00:55:01,399
Speaker 1: If nobody makes an offer, great, you got him back

1109
00:55:01,840 --> 00:55:04,640
Speaker 1: if they I mean, you know, I thought about it

1110
00:55:04,640 --> 00:55:06,600
Speaker 1: in this terms, like if you somebody was like, oh,

1111
00:55:06,600 --> 00:55:08,320
Speaker 1: do you want to ensure this purchase? You got a

1112
00:55:08,360 --> 00:55:10,880
Speaker 1: new car, you want to ensure this purchase. I mean,

1113
00:55:10,920 --> 00:55:13,120
Speaker 1: if you really want to ensure it, wouldn't you buy

1114
00:55:13,160 --> 00:55:15,800
Speaker 1: the top of the line everything, one hundred thousand miles

1115
00:55:15,920 --> 00:55:18,799
Speaker 1: and no matter what happens to it, you're good. But

1116
00:55:18,840 --> 00:55:21,040
Speaker 1: if you're really like, yeah, you're not really thinking about

1117
00:55:21,120 --> 00:55:22,640
Speaker 1: keeping it for a long time, You're like, now we'll

1118
00:55:22,680 --> 00:55:26,399
Speaker 1: take the bargain insurance plan and you know, maybe I'm

1119
00:55:26,440 --> 00:55:28,920
Speaker 1: not covered for flood, but I'm covered for theft, you know,

1120
00:55:29,000 --> 00:55:32,200
Speaker 1: like that type of stuff. So if they're not willing

1121
00:55:32,200 --> 00:55:35,160
Speaker 1: to give him the best possible tender, it means they

1122
00:55:35,239 --> 00:55:38,600
Speaker 1: don't really want him. They'd kind of like they'd be

1123
00:55:38,600 --> 00:55:40,799
Speaker 1: okay with him being on the team, but they would

1124
00:55:40,840 --> 00:55:42,680
Speaker 1: take that second round pick in a heartbeat. That's I

1125
00:55:42,719 --> 00:55:44,360
Speaker 1: think that's the only way you could read. That's a

1126
00:55:44,360 --> 00:55:46,759
Speaker 1: lot of people in like so late second round pick

1127
00:55:46,800 --> 00:55:49,640
Speaker 1: for David Irving. Are you going no, I know what

1128
00:55:49,680 --> 00:55:51,680
Speaker 1: this guy can do. He's a splash player. He makes

1129
00:55:51,719 --> 00:55:53,880
Speaker 1: big plays, he just rubs stuff, he raises hell in

1130
00:55:53,920 --> 00:55:56,279
Speaker 1: the backfield. Or are you like, yeah, I'll take that

1131
00:55:56,360 --> 00:55:58,360
Speaker 1: cheap contract for that second round pick and hope I

1132
00:55:58,400 --> 00:56:01,280
Speaker 1: can find a guy. It's it's running the point almost

1133
00:56:01,360 --> 00:56:03,040
Speaker 1: it's six to one half a dozen to the other.

1134
00:56:03,120 --> 00:56:05,000
Speaker 1: I really I hate the idea of letting go of

1135
00:56:05,000 --> 00:56:07,280
Speaker 1: a guy who can put up seven sacks in eight games.

1136
00:56:07,360 --> 00:56:09,600
Speaker 1: I hate. I mean, we've been whining about the pass

1137
00:56:09,719 --> 00:56:11,919
Speaker 1: rush on this team the whole time I've watched the soup.

1138
00:56:11,960 --> 00:56:14,640
Speaker 1: I can change your mind in three minutes. All right,

1139
00:56:14,680 --> 00:56:17,040
Speaker 1: go for it. We have two but right that's why, Okay,

1140
00:56:17,480 --> 00:56:20,400
Speaker 1: go no, I'll I need three. Oh, I hear you,

1141
00:56:20,480 --> 00:56:24,080
Speaker 1: I hear I mean you think about it, though, I mean,

1142
00:56:24,960 --> 00:56:26,719
Speaker 1: if it's a top if it's as if it's a

1143
00:56:26,760 --> 00:56:29,160
Speaker 1: second round pick, so it's gonna be a top seventy pick.

1144
00:56:29,200 --> 00:56:31,840
Speaker 1: I mean you shouldn't. Regardless of the cowboys woes in

1145
00:56:31,840 --> 00:56:33,880
Speaker 1: the second round, you should be able to hope that

1146
00:56:33,920 --> 00:56:37,200
Speaker 1: you can find that really good player. That pick also

1147
00:56:37,360 --> 00:56:39,839
Speaker 1: moves you into the to the spot of I mean

1148
00:56:39,840 --> 00:56:42,360
Speaker 1: you you can take that and sit there with somebody

1149
00:56:42,400 --> 00:56:45,440
Speaker 1: at thirteen or fourteen and go, I'm using this second

1150
00:56:45,520 --> 00:56:47,680
Speaker 1: round pick that I got for Irving. I'm moving up

1151
00:56:47,680 --> 00:56:49,799
Speaker 1: here and oh you know what would happen use if

1152
00:56:49,840 --> 00:56:51,640
Speaker 1: someone gives us a second round pick. We're sitting there

1153
00:56:51,680 --> 00:56:53,879
Speaker 1: Week six and we're like, hey, we can't get any sex.

1154
00:56:53,920 --> 00:56:56,239
Speaker 1: I wish I had someone that could disrupt thee the

1155
00:56:56,280 --> 00:57:00,440
Speaker 1: passing game, but nine used you use that extra second rounder,

1156
00:57:01,480 --> 00:57:03,839
Speaker 1: you use him to trade up and get Derwin James.

1157
00:57:04,360 --> 00:57:07,600
Speaker 1: He's got six picks, but six but you now that

1158
00:57:07,640 --> 00:57:11,600
Speaker 1: you don't have David Irving, where's your defensive tackle situation?

1159
00:57:11,680 --> 00:57:14,279
Speaker 1: Look like? No? I know, I mean it won't look great.

1160
00:57:15,440 --> 00:57:18,800
Speaker 1: I think Crawford going to move back there. The ideal

1161
00:57:18,880 --> 00:57:22,160
Speaker 1: scenario that I'm hoping for in the Brian Price, Sorry

1162
00:57:21,800 --> 00:57:25,760
Speaker 1: sorry Price, how did we bury the leader there? I

1163
00:57:25,800 --> 00:57:27,880
Speaker 1: think the ideal way for all this to work out

1164
00:57:27,960 --> 00:57:30,080
Speaker 1: is if every other team in the league is aware

1165
00:57:30,440 --> 00:57:33,800
Speaker 1: of the problems with David Irving that prevent the Cowboys

1166
00:57:33,880 --> 00:57:37,720
Speaker 1: from loving him, and if hope the ideal scenario is

1167
00:57:37,720 --> 00:57:40,000
Speaker 1: that nobody tries to sign him long term, and he

1168
00:57:40,040 --> 00:57:42,000
Speaker 1: plays out this year on a two point nine million

1169
00:57:42,000 --> 00:57:45,280
Speaker 1: dollar contract. If he balls out, then you've got a

1170
00:57:45,480 --> 00:57:48,280
Speaker 1: question to answer next year, and you either sign him

1171
00:57:48,320 --> 00:57:50,240
Speaker 1: long term, which I doubt happens, or you let him

1172
00:57:50,280 --> 00:57:52,320
Speaker 1: go and you get a third or fourth round compick

1173
00:57:52,400 --> 00:57:55,800
Speaker 1: for him, or he struggles or has issues again next year,

1174
00:57:55,840 --> 00:57:57,600
Speaker 1: and then you've got the leverage when it comes time

1175
00:57:57,600 --> 00:58:01,000
Speaker 1: to negotiate a contract. I think without the suspension, people

1176
00:58:01,000 --> 00:58:03,680
Speaker 1: would get pretty interested. Say he played just yeah, played

1177
00:58:03,760 --> 00:58:06,280
Speaker 1: last year, yeah, and misstime because just an injury, not

1178
00:58:06,320 --> 00:58:08,960
Speaker 1: a suspension, right, I think people come sniffing around him.

1179
00:58:09,040 --> 00:58:11,600
Speaker 1: I ate that late second. I would be on him

1180
00:58:11,840 --> 00:58:15,640
Speaker 1: like he's a great player. I mean, he's a great player,

1181
00:58:15,880 --> 00:58:18,880
Speaker 1: and there are a litany of reasons why you might

1182
00:58:18,920 --> 00:58:21,720
Speaker 1: not want to trust him with a sizeable contract. Yeah, no,

1183
00:58:21,840 --> 00:58:25,160
Speaker 1: I agree, I agree, But maybe one year type of

1184
00:58:25,200 --> 00:58:28,960
Speaker 1: thing or exactly what they did. Yeah, I'll be interested

1185
00:58:29,000 --> 00:58:31,480
Speaker 1: to see. I will. I won't be surprised if somebody

1186
00:58:31,520 --> 00:58:33,680
Speaker 1: makes him a handsome offer, and I won't be surprised

1187
00:58:33,720 --> 00:58:35,880
Speaker 1: if nobody touches him and he plays out this year

1188
00:58:35,920 --> 00:58:38,400
Speaker 1: on a one year deal, which I wouldn't be surprised

1189
00:58:38,440 --> 00:58:40,640
Speaker 1: if that's what he wants, because if he goes out

1190
00:58:40,680 --> 00:58:43,440
Speaker 1: and plays, you know, sixteen games and has ten sacks

1191
00:58:43,440 --> 00:58:47,360
Speaker 1: as a d tackle, he's gonna get ye hey, next year.

1192
00:58:47,400 --> 00:58:49,640
Speaker 1: What I will be surprised with Irving is if he

1193
00:58:49,680 --> 00:58:52,280
Speaker 1: gets an offer sheet from another team in the Cowboys

1194
00:58:52,440 --> 00:58:55,600
Speaker 1: matchet that was surprised, would surprise they'll take the second.

1195
00:58:55,640 --> 00:58:57,920
Speaker 1: This is a case of like the CBA working perfectly

1196
00:58:58,200 --> 00:59:00,480
Speaker 1: because I feel like that's right on the nose second

1197
00:59:00,480 --> 00:59:02,560
Speaker 1: for him. Two point nine is played riding the nose

1198
00:59:02,560 --> 00:59:05,160
Speaker 1: for him. I'm like, good job, guys, Yeah, we figured

1199
00:59:05,160 --> 00:59:07,280
Speaker 1: this one out. For that one, give me pick fifty

1200
00:59:07,280 --> 00:59:09,600
Speaker 1: five and we'll qull it you all right. Well, earlier

1201
00:59:09,640 --> 00:59:11,640
Speaker 1: in the when we first started, you said we were

1202
00:59:11,640 --> 00:59:13,880
Speaker 1: going to get better. There was one area will be better.

1203
00:59:14,040 --> 00:59:19,040
Speaker 1: Definitely got better. Tommy John Reid was better, the man better.

1204
00:59:19,120 --> 00:59:21,520
