1
00:00:01,880 --> 00:00:04,400
Speaker 1: The following He's a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com

2
00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:07,560
Speaker 1: and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club. Are you ready for

3
00:00:07,640 --> 00:00:12,240
Speaker 1: a break? Are you ready for a break? Absolutely ready

4
00:00:12,400 --> 00:00:16,040
Speaker 1: for a break. Yeah, and so much for that. It's

5
00:00:16,120 --> 00:00:20,560
Speaker 1: time for the break. On Dallas Cowboys dot Com were

6
00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:28,520
Speaker 1: with Nick Eatman, David Hellman, and bar Garcia and Derek Eagleton. Hey, guys,

7
00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:31,600
Speaker 1: welcome back to the Cowboys Break. We thought it was

8
00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:35,920
Speaker 1: gonna be a nice, little easy bye week where we

9
00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:38,280
Speaker 1: would get to rest, but that is not the case.

10
00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:42,320
Speaker 1: We got some knees breaking down. I think although we

11
00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:46,600
Speaker 1: have heard the talk about Amari Cooper, we neither none

12
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:49,839
Speaker 1: of us really thought that would actually happen, or did you.

13
00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:54,200
Speaker 1: Hell no, no, I didn't think it would sure game

14
00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:58,200
Speaker 1: as a surprise, especially how it went down yesterday. While

15
00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:01,440
Speaker 1: the Cowboys were super surprised that happened. I'm very surprised

16
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:03,640
Speaker 1: of the first round pick, you know, but I'm not.

17
00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:06,480
Speaker 1: I wasn't. I mean, I guess one of those things.

18
00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:07,920
Speaker 1: You'll see it when you know. I believe it when

19
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:09,840
Speaker 1: you see it. But I kind of thought, maybe, you know,

20
00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:12,440
Speaker 1: because I'm still a believer. Where they're smoke, there's fire

21
00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:14,720
Speaker 1: and there's a lot of smoke around Earl tom was

22
00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:16,800
Speaker 1: that never happened, but I just kind of thought there

23
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:19,480
Speaker 1: was something, but not to this level, not to first

24
00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:22,760
Speaker 1: round pick. I've just got automated responses plugged into my

25
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:25,679
Speaker 1: phone where I'm like, the Cowboys like their guys. No,

26
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:28,640
Speaker 1: I don't think that's gonna happen. I mean, Cowboys are

27
00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:33,200
Speaker 1: linked to like five different players every trade cycle, and

28
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:36,240
Speaker 1: this is I mean, you know, they did the Bryce

29
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:38,880
Speaker 1: Butler and Matt Castle trades when they absolutely had to

30
00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:41,040
Speaker 1: to try to keep their season afloat. But this is

31
00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:43,360
Speaker 1: the first time they've done something like this in my

32
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:46,319
Speaker 1: time covering the team, and they we like our guys,

33
00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:49,360
Speaker 1: so we love to build through the draft. So I'm

34
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:52,440
Speaker 1: pretty shocked. I'm still shocked almost twenty four hours later.

35
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:55,440
Speaker 1: And Jerry Jones had said a few weeks ago that

36
00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:58,240
Speaker 1: he hasn't hit the panny button yet. And we know

37
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:01,400
Speaker 1: how much talk there was around Earl Thomas and the

38
00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:04,600
Speaker 1: trade and how they battle there and towards the end,

39
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:06,760
Speaker 1: how they actually did want to get Earl Thomas and

40
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:11,160
Speaker 1: he didn't work out. Now, after this Washington loss, you

41
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:15,280
Speaker 1: think that now that's stuck another type of nerve where

42
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:18,720
Speaker 1: they are now kind of desperate and willing to actually

43
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:22,360
Speaker 1: give up a first round pick. Yes and no, I

44
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:26,240
Speaker 1: mean yes for this season to try to let's do something,

45
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:29,080
Speaker 1: to try to you know, maybe pull off a couple

46
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:32,720
Speaker 1: more wins here that you can perhaps win this division.

47
00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:35,560
Speaker 1: But I think the fact that he's twenty four years

48
00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:38,440
Speaker 1: old and they feel like this is a guy that

49
00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:40,799
Speaker 1: would probably be better than anybody that they could pick

50
00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:44,120
Speaker 1: up next year and wherever they're going to draft, I

51
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:47,000
Speaker 1: feel like there's more to it than just these last

52
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:51,080
Speaker 1: nine games. I think that there's there's like future implications

53
00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:54,240
Speaker 1: as well. So I yes and no is my nswer

54
00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:56,200
Speaker 1: to that, if that makes sense. Yeah, I feel a

55
00:02:56,200 --> 00:03:00,079
Speaker 1: couple types of ways about that. I mean, yeah, I

56
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:03,639
Speaker 1: think you could classify this as a desperation move because

57
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:07,399
Speaker 1: they spent six months you know, you know, we don't

58
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:09,640
Speaker 1: need a number one wide receiver. There's only five or

59
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:12,000
Speaker 1: six of those guys in the whole league. We feel

60
00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:13,680
Speaker 1: good about what we did. You know, these guys are

61
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:15,799
Speaker 1: gonna step up, They're gonna take the pressure off Zeake.

62
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:17,760
Speaker 1: I mean, it was one of the biggest talking points

63
00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:21,440
Speaker 1: of the entire offseason and seven games in it obviously

64
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:24,880
Speaker 1: hasn't happened. And they overpaid for Amara Cooper. They did,

65
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:27,320
Speaker 1: and I don't necessarily think that's a bad thing, but

66
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:30,360
Speaker 1: it's just I think it's a statement of fact. On

67
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:33,400
Speaker 1: the flip side of that, you know, at some point

68
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:37,240
Speaker 1: the Cowboys can't win because if they weren't, if they

69
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:39,680
Speaker 1: weren't doing anything, and they're just like, we're gonna get

70
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:43,000
Speaker 1: this together. Alan Hearns is gonna, he's gonna he's coming

71
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:46,480
Speaker 1: into form, and Michael Gallops keeps getting better. We'd be

72
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:49,280
Speaker 1: killing them for being stubborn and not changing their line

73
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:52,160
Speaker 1: of thinking. And you know, you're wasting a season where

74
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:55,160
Speaker 1: the SEC East is down because you're too stubborn to

75
00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:58,240
Speaker 1: admit that you made a mistake. So they're admitting that

76
00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:01,080
Speaker 1: they made a mistake there. You know, I appreciate that.

77
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:05,000
Speaker 1: I appreciate that they they see what they did wrong

78
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:07,520
Speaker 1: and they're trying to rectify it. I do think they

79
00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:11,640
Speaker 1: overpaid for Amary Cooper, but he's twenty four, he had

80
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:14,640
Speaker 1: two really badass seasons. There's at least a reason to

81
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:18,640
Speaker 1: hope that he can turn it around. So it's an overpay,

82
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 1: But I don't think it's just this drastically terrible mistake

83
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:23,760
Speaker 1: that a lot of people want to paint it as.

84
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:26,640
Speaker 1: And I give him credit for recognizing the problem and

85
00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:29,479
Speaker 1: trying to fix it. Yeah, I mean I what I

86
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:34,120
Speaker 1: can't forget is the fact that you know, this team

87
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:36,120
Speaker 1: has done this a couple of times since I've been here,

88
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:39,279
Speaker 1: to get a first round, to trade first round picks

89
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:42,960
Speaker 1: for a receiver, and it's like, there's just more to

90
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:45,320
Speaker 1: it than that. I mean, they brought in Roy Williams

91
00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:48,039
Speaker 1: and and he had Tony Romo and that didn't work out.

92
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:50,000
Speaker 1: And people can say all they want to like, well

93
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:52,920
Speaker 1: that was different because that was Roy Williams. But if

94
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:55,480
Speaker 1: things continue to go for Amary Cooper the way that

95
00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:57,800
Speaker 1: they've been, then he will be Roy. He'll be the

96
00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:01,279
Speaker 1: same type of thing. I mean, it's it's spiraling downward

97
00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:04,200
Speaker 1: until it can get back up. I just have a

98
00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:07,440
Speaker 1: very hard time thinking we'll be sitting here in April

99
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:11,159
Speaker 1: and go, you know, I'd rather have my first round pick.

100
00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:13,080
Speaker 1: I just feel like that's going to happen. I don't

101
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:16,600
Speaker 1: know what he can do to be like, I'm so

102
00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:19,840
Speaker 1: good glad they didn't they did that. That's fine. They

103
00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:22,040
Speaker 1: can have the pick we got Cooper. I have a

104
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:24,919
Speaker 1: hard time thinking that's going to happen, and so I

105
00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:27,159
Speaker 1: also have a hard time thinking that you couldn't have

106
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:29,679
Speaker 1: done something different with the second round. Oh the Eagles

107
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:32,599
Speaker 1: were asking for a second fine, I mean Cowboys second,

108
00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:35,159
Speaker 1: it's probably gonna be about the same. You can throw

109
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:37,280
Speaker 1: in fourth, fifth, you can, you can sweeten the deal

110
00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:40,359
Speaker 1: without going into the first round. I think. But and

111
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:42,960
Speaker 1: that's I see where you're going. And that's why you know,

112
00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:46,560
Speaker 1: in the weeks leading up to this, I said, give

113
00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:50,160
Speaker 1: me DeVante Parker for a sixth or it's water way

114
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:52,400
Speaker 1: under the bridge, but give me Josh Gordon for a fifth,

115
00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:56,160
Speaker 1: because you're giving yourself a chance to fix the problem

116
00:05:56,279 --> 00:05:59,479
Speaker 1: without committing these crazy resources to it. I mean, you know,

117
00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:02,320
Speaker 1: if if you trade DeVante Parker for a sixth, then

118
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:05,200
Speaker 1: he's terrible. Who cares? If Josh Gordon gets suspended for

119
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:07,640
Speaker 1: smoking weed? Who cares? Is a fifth round pick their

120
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:12,760
Speaker 1: day three picks there, they're a diamond dozen't so committing

121
00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:14,800
Speaker 1: the first round pick to it, especially with how good

122
00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:17,120
Speaker 1: this team has been in the first round, it is

123
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:19,400
Speaker 1: a little disheartening. I take a little bit of comfort

124
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:22,719
Speaker 1: in the thought that you know, I'm already diving into this.

125
00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:28,160
Speaker 1: This receiver crop for twenty nineteen does not look super promising.

126
00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:32,239
Speaker 1: So you know, at least you know Cooper's Cooper really

127
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:34,240
Speaker 1: probably is better than a receiver that you're gonna get

128
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:36,599
Speaker 1: in the first round. But that doesn't mean maybe there's

129
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:38,840
Speaker 1: an offensive tackle you really love in the first round,

130
00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:41,920
Speaker 1: or a tight end or whatever that you know now

131
00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:43,640
Speaker 1: you don't have a chance to get that guy. You know.

132
00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:46,679
Speaker 1: I just feel like first round picks are so valuable,

133
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:50,000
Speaker 1: and a lot of teams feel that way that if

134
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:52,800
Speaker 1: you would have called thirty one teams and then at

135
00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:54,840
Speaker 1: last two days, maybe they did, but I doubt it.

136
00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:57,520
Speaker 1: Call thirty one teams and ask for their number one

137
00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:01,800
Speaker 1: receiver for a first round pick, and I have a

138
00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:04,719
Speaker 1: feeling you could have gotten someone maybe maybe better than him,

139
00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:07,119
Speaker 1: I mean first round pick. I mean, I just feel

140
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:10,520
Speaker 1: like you think so, yeah, I do. I think Cooper's

141
00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:14,480
Speaker 1: a little uniquely positioned just because he's I know, you know,

142
00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:16,520
Speaker 1: the last year and a half have not been great,

143
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:19,080
Speaker 1: but he's got a resume. He's got a resume, he's

144
00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:23,160
Speaker 1: a two time pro bowler, and his contract is in

145
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:24,800
Speaker 1: a certain spot. I mean, you know, you think about

146
00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:28,239
Speaker 1: the truly elite receivers in this league, most of them

147
00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:32,640
Speaker 1: are playing on huge money deals, most of them. I mean,

148
00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:34,920
Speaker 1: you know, you're not getting Odell Beckham for just one

149
00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:37,760
Speaker 1: first round pick. I don't think you're not getting Antonio

150
00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:41,360
Speaker 1: Brown or Julio Jones. Like I think Cooper's a little

151
00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:45,760
Speaker 1: uniquely positioned to where the body of work and the

152
00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:47,800
Speaker 1: pick kind of coinside, which is why you know, I

153
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:49,520
Speaker 1: thought you might be able to get him for a second.

154
00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:53,440
Speaker 1: But yeah, well the deal is pretty much made. That

155
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:57,080
Speaker 1: is what happened. They did give up their first round pick. Now,

156
00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:00,760
Speaker 1: with that being said, they're fixing to cut Bryce Boiler

157
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:04,280
Speaker 1: and make it official pretty soon. So with the Mari

158
00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:07,840
Speaker 1: coming in, how does he integrate with the group of

159
00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:10,640
Speaker 1: wide receivers that the Cowboys are really have? Obviously Terrence

160
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:14,440
Speaker 1: Williams out the door. Basically he's on our heart and

161
00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:17,600
Speaker 1: then you got tell you when Austin still hurt. But

162
00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:21,440
Speaker 1: based on what we've seen so far, how they've managed

163
00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:24,200
Speaker 1: the wide receivers and what they have done with them

164
00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:27,520
Speaker 1: right now, how do you see a guy like Mari

165
00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:31,040
Speaker 1: really working out and coming in and making a difference,

166
00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:34,880
Speaker 1: which and this this is the flips of Eric. Hey, Derek,

167
00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:37,839
Speaker 1: what's that up? You have a good meeting? Yeah cool,

168
00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:42,880
Speaker 1: cool to talk after? Oh boy? Oh as all in trouble.

169
00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:46,640
Speaker 1: Oh good, let's finish the show. Hey yeah, great. I

170
00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:51,120
Speaker 1: hope that's I hope that's a joke. Um, it's a joke. Okay, good,

171
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:54,880
Speaker 1: thank you. Um. I've been thinking about that because I

172
00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:56,599
Speaker 1: just said it, and I still I believe it. The

173
00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:59,959
Speaker 1: Cowboys overpaid for Amari Cooper, But that happens when you're

174
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:02,240
Speaker 1: trying to improve your team in the NFL from time

175
00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:04,319
Speaker 1: to time. You look at the flip side of that.

176
00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:08,120
Speaker 1: He's immediately your best receiver, he's your ex he's going

177
00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:11,440
Speaker 1: to be here for twenty five more games, and hopefully

178
00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:13,600
Speaker 1: you would think the Cowboys are gonna have a good

179
00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:16,960
Speaker 1: shot to extend him beyond that. Like I'm if he's

180
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:19,199
Speaker 1: supposed to replace your first round pick, I'm thinking of

181
00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:22,360
Speaker 1: him as a building block player. Michael Gal is my

182
00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:24,880
Speaker 1: why from here on out. Cole Beasley is my slot.

183
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:28,240
Speaker 1: No disrespect to Alan Huns or Deanta Thompson, But like,

184
00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:30,880
Speaker 1: why am I bothering with that? If I just gave

185
00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:33,160
Speaker 1: up a first round pick for Amari Cooper. Am I

186
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:35,400
Speaker 1: crazy for thinking that? No? I mean, I think Alan

187
00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:38,320
Speaker 1: Hearns they tried to, you know, see if he could

188
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:41,880
Speaker 1: be a guy that was you know what he was

189
00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:45,000
Speaker 1: a couple of years ago, and and that's Alan Hearns

190
00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:47,160
Speaker 1: is a reason why you could have you should have

191
00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:50,560
Speaker 1: some caution here with with Cooper because they saw what

192
00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:52,280
Speaker 1: he did a couple years ago and they said, you know,

193
00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:54,600
Speaker 1: maybe he could be that type of guy. They're hoping

194
00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:56,800
Speaker 1: that Cooper's the type of guy was you know a

195
00:09:56,800 --> 00:10:00,199
Speaker 1: couple of years ago as well. But they're different skills

196
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:03,200
Speaker 1: skill um, they had different skill sets, so you can't

197
00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:07,240
Speaker 1: really compare these players. I just feel like that you're

198
00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:11,360
Speaker 1: You're right about that at least from Gallup and Cooper. Beasley.

199
00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:13,480
Speaker 1: You got to get a new contract for him, right,

200
00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:16,439
Speaker 1: we'll see, but but you know Beasley will be better

201
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:19,600
Speaker 1: if if if this guy can stretch the field. And

202
00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:21,640
Speaker 1: I said this yesterday on the show. He's got nineteen

203
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:25,160
Speaker 1: touchdowns eleven him or thirty yards or more. And that's

204
00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:27,760
Speaker 1: that's pretty good when you think of Daz had nineteen

205
00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:30,040
Speaker 1: touchdowns of thirty or more in his eight year career.

206
00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:32,480
Speaker 1: So you know he's a guy that has stretching the field,

207
00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:35,200
Speaker 1: but I don't I think I agree with everything you

208
00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:38,840
Speaker 1: said right there, except for I don't discard Herns so readily.

209
00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:40,560
Speaker 1: Well I'm not trying to cut him, no, I know,

210
00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:42,160
Speaker 1: but I guess what I'm saying in a year I

211
00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:44,559
Speaker 1: am I'm saying right now when you look at I mean,

212
00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:46,840
Speaker 1: I think this last game was that not the best

213
00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:48,840
Speaker 1: game he's had so far since he's been here. I

214
00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:51,960
Speaker 1: mean as five catches seventy four yards, that's significant, I

215
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:56,000
Speaker 1: think in this offense. And so I still believe that,

216
00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:58,440
Speaker 1: I still believe there's still more to find out about

217
00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:01,320
Speaker 1: about what Alan Herns can be here and maybe if

218
00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:04,760
Speaker 1: given a particular role, which what we've seen I think

219
00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:07,920
Speaker 1: i've seen already from him is what he does well

220
00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:11,240
Speaker 1: is he can catch those slant routes. He can catch

221
00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:14,240
Speaker 1: those Carl routes. Like He's not a deep threat, but

222
00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:16,120
Speaker 1: he's a guy that you could put into a role

223
00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:18,079
Speaker 1: of moving the chains. He could be a big body

224
00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:20,400
Speaker 1: that you can use to move the chains. I think

225
00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:22,400
Speaker 1: what we're what we're at least when I'm starting to

226
00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:26,319
Speaker 1: see is I think if if you can get from

227
00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:29,199
Speaker 1: Cooper what you thought you were getting from Dez when

228
00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:32,000
Speaker 1: he was here, which is a true number one type

229
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:35,120
Speaker 1: receiver that can make big plays. He is your explosive

230
00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:37,840
Speaker 1: play guy. He can make explosive plays for you. Now,

231
00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:39,360
Speaker 1: what that does is that allows a lot of these

232
00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:41,760
Speaker 1: other guys to settle into roles. Cole becomes a guy

233
00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:43,720
Speaker 1: that works to slot and works the middle of the field,

234
00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:46,360
Speaker 1: can move the chains. Hearns can be a big body

235
00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:48,800
Speaker 1: that can can can move the chains as well. I

236
00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:50,880
Speaker 1: think Gallup has shown he can get downfield and make

237
00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:53,079
Speaker 1: some plays downfield for you. I think you can start

238
00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:55,520
Speaker 1: to kind of find roles for these guys. That makes

239
00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:57,040
Speaker 1: a lot more sense than just kind of throwing him

240
00:11:57,040 --> 00:11:58,400
Speaker 1: out there and seeing I don't know, really know what

241
00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:01,240
Speaker 1: anybody does well and just kind doing whatever you know

242
00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:03,280
Speaker 1: if you want to use, if you want to use

243
00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:05,679
Speaker 1: Hearns the same way they used Bryce when he was

244
00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:07,960
Speaker 1: actually part of the offense, that's fine with me, but

245
00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:09,800
Speaker 1: maybe a little bit more. But yeah, you give up

246
00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:13,040
Speaker 1: to see I disagree, and Hearns did have his best game,

247
00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:15,080
Speaker 1: and I like Alan Hearns as a person and I

248
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:17,960
Speaker 1: don't think he's been bad, but way more than I

249
00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:21,560
Speaker 1: remember his five catches for seventy four yards. I remember

250
00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:24,600
Speaker 1: he ran out of bounds on his big game and

251
00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:27,280
Speaker 1: like seemed like he could have got more yards and Murray,

252
00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:31,240
Speaker 1: he dropped. He dropped a super clutch contested ball. I mean, like,

253
00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:34,400
Speaker 1: but let's remember background. Let's remember Amari Cooper also has

254
00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:36,880
Speaker 1: been having issue with catching the ball. I mean, that's

255
00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:40,760
Speaker 1: that's that's beside the point you have made your bed

256
00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:42,480
Speaker 1: with I get it. I'm just saying, though, before you

257
00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:45,120
Speaker 1: start relying on him to be whatever and discarding the

258
00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:47,959
Speaker 1: other guys, saying that he can't always catch the ball reliably,

259
00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:50,079
Speaker 1: I'm just saying that's something you got to consider. You're

260
00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:52,600
Speaker 1: you're that's my nightmare. Like if I mean, if that's

261
00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:55,840
Speaker 1: really how No, that's not that's not possible if you

262
00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:58,040
Speaker 1: gave up a first round pick, like what you're saying,

263
00:12:58,040 --> 00:12:59,920
Speaker 1: it's not possible that you've been having issues catching. No,

264
00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:02,840
Speaker 1: I'm saying, he like, start catching it then, because the

265
00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:05,800
Speaker 1: first round pick is gone now, ex receiver. I don't

266
00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:10,960
Speaker 1: think it's that's simple. It better if I think what

267
00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:13,079
Speaker 1: he's saying. I'm not trying to speak for you, but

268
00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:15,679
Speaker 1: the fact is is that this whole debate about well,

269
00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:19,040
Speaker 1: he's not thinking. Mark Cooper's here, we got jerseys, we're

270
00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:21,280
Speaker 1: about to sell with him. Mark Cooper's the guy. First

271
00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:24,640
Speaker 1: round pick is gone, so he's the guy. His his

272
00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:28,359
Speaker 1: warts and whatever, deal with it. But they're the decisions

273
00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:31,280
Speaker 1: to be made next. Dear for Alan Hearns, Kavon Austin,

274
00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:35,240
Speaker 1: Deontay Thompson, uh and Cole Beasley and on how this

275
00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:38,000
Speaker 1: thing kind of rounds out and all of those four guys,

276
00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:40,960
Speaker 1: I would imagine one of them comes back, maybe two

277
00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:42,920
Speaker 1: in which two are they right? And that's my thing

278
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:44,800
Speaker 1: is I don't think that. I don't think you're going

279
00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:47,720
Speaker 1: out to draft one. So you're looking at those you

280
00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:49,960
Speaker 1: just did, so you're not about to do it again

281
00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:51,360
Speaker 1: because you don't have But you don't have a first

282
00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:53,240
Speaker 1: round pick, so you're not about to get another one.

283
00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:55,720
Speaker 1: So at this point, I'm thinking, with what you have,

284
00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:58,440
Speaker 1: Hearns might be the best of left of what you

285
00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:00,560
Speaker 1: have to round out to receiver group. I'm not saying

286
00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:02,400
Speaker 1: he'd be as good as Cole Beasley, but like you

287
00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:04,680
Speaker 1: can find a Cole Beasley type player in the draft

288
00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:06,880
Speaker 1: way after the first round. I mean, if you decide

289
00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:08,319
Speaker 1: if you decide you don't want to bring him back,

290
00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:13,480
Speaker 1: and I don't know, but I just Cooper. Obviously, Gallop's

291
00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:15,600
Speaker 1: arrow is up and you spent a pick on it,

292
00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:17,600
Speaker 1: like get him on the field. And we talked about

293
00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:20,320
Speaker 1: and maybe that Mickey and Brian were right Nick, maybe

294
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:22,160
Speaker 1: you know, we were kind of down on him. He

295
00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:24,480
Speaker 1: showed what he can do. Get him on the field.

296
00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:27,800
Speaker 1: I'm done with this rotation thing and I feel like

297
00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:30,480
Speaker 1: they are too, which is and again Allup needs to

298
00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:33,600
Speaker 1: be playing more. No disrespect to Alan Hearns. If you

299
00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:36,400
Speaker 1: can find some space for you know, if you can

300
00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:38,920
Speaker 1: find some use for him, fine, But like I don't

301
00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:41,120
Speaker 1: want a Cooper or Gallop coming off the field, and

302
00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:44,560
Speaker 1: Beasley plays best in the slots. So those are the

303
00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:47,160
Speaker 1: three guys I want to see primarily, and I think

304
00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:51,200
Speaker 1: they've earned that right or the Cowboys have invested in them.

305
00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:54,960
Speaker 1: This is not going to happen. But what I would

306
00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:59,440
Speaker 1: like to do would be bring up Na Brown, let

307
00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:02,800
Speaker 1: me see him. I feel that Deonta Thompson I've seen

308
00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:05,400
Speaker 1: enough and it's just really not working out. Although he

309
00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:07,280
Speaker 1: has the speed and all that is just it's not

310
00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:11,160
Speaker 1: working out right now as far as Alan hearns. He

311
00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:15,480
Speaker 1: has his good moments. But from the beginning to up

312
00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:18,040
Speaker 1: until this point, everything that I've seen, and I told

313
00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:20,960
Speaker 1: you this Nick during the game. One of the things

314
00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:24,440
Speaker 1: that I noticed he gets easily pushed around, like he

315
00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:27,240
Speaker 1: catches a ball and then he's pushed back, like three

316
00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:30,920
Speaker 1: more yards back. He's just like a little feather that

317
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:33,840
Speaker 1: you can easily just pop push him back. And I

318
00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:37,160
Speaker 1: don't I don't like it. For what you're getting out

319
00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:40,720
Speaker 1: of it is just to me, not really working out.

320
00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:44,040
Speaker 1: So give me Noah Brown, bring him up and let's

321
00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:46,360
Speaker 1: see what they can do. Are you making the assertion

322
00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:51,760
Speaker 1: that Cole is not similarly pushed around? No, No, I

323
00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:55,160
Speaker 1: don't know. I honestly don't know that there is a

324
00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:58,520
Speaker 1: receiver on this team that I consider to be or

325
00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:03,400
Speaker 1: not pushable around. Okay, yeah, obviously you're gonna get pushed Yeah,

326
00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:06,120
Speaker 1: but you you put up a fight there, you just

327
00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:08,520
Speaker 1: touch him. But I'm saying, I don't I don't know

328
00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:10,320
Speaker 1: that I got I don't know that there are receivers

329
00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:12,600
Speaker 1: on this team that you consider to be tough guys.

330
00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:14,200
Speaker 1: And what I mean, I'm talking to the mold of

331
00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:17,600
Speaker 1: Steve Smith type guys that they're gonna bow up when

332
00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:20,000
Speaker 1: they get when somebody hits them, and they're probably gonna

333
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:22,160
Speaker 1: break that tackle, just what Dez was. Dez made his

334
00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:24,520
Speaker 1: career off the guy comes to hit him, he bounces

335
00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:26,320
Speaker 1: off the guy and he's off running, right. I don't

336
00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:27,800
Speaker 1: know they got those kind of guys on this team.

337
00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:29,960
Speaker 1: I'm not sure Mark Cooper is that kind of guy. Um,

338
00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:32,200
Speaker 1: So I don't I don't know that that you're gonna

339
00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:35,000
Speaker 1: get that kind of toughness from any of the guys

340
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:37,200
Speaker 1: on this receiving corps. That's not what we've seen him.

341
00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:40,360
Speaker 1: But at a different level though, I think all around.

342
00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:42,960
Speaker 1: They signed Alan Hearns to be you know, it's just

343
00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:45,800
Speaker 1: kind of to be the number one on this this group.

344
00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:50,360
Speaker 1: Um and now all of a sudden, you know he'll

345
00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:54,600
Speaker 1: probably be number four, right, Well they signed three uh

346
00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:58,920
Speaker 1: four four yeah, I mean yeah, when Cooper galloped Beasley

347
00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:01,280
Speaker 1: and him, and then they signed Alan Hearns to be

348
00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:04,840
Speaker 1: their bargain bin x. Like they said, this guy has

349
00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:07,320
Speaker 1: shown potential, we can bring it out of them. There

350
00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:09,160
Speaker 1: will be plays for him. With the way that they're

351
00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:12,679
Speaker 1: keying on the run didn't work out, that can be

352
00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:16,160
Speaker 1: an indictment of Dak or your offensive line, or hearns himself,

353
00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:18,719
Speaker 1: or the play calling, probably all of the above. But

354
00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:21,679
Speaker 1: they watched it for seven weeks and they said, we

355
00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:24,919
Speaker 1: need a better receiver. That's my question too, Like what

356
00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:27,439
Speaker 1: happens if you give up this number one pick and

357
00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:31,720
Speaker 1: you find out that really it wasn't hearns, it wasn't.

358
00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:39,320
Speaker 1: Maybe these other guys there, great teams. Let's take our

359
00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:42,159
Speaker 1: first break, and when we come back, things are going

360
00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:44,120
Speaker 1: to get it interesting. All right, let's go. If you're

361
00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:46,720
Speaker 1: like me and you love I mean, if you have

362
00:17:46,760 --> 00:17:49,720
Speaker 1: a heart thing, then cutting the court is scary. But

363
00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:51,400
Speaker 1: then I found out I could switch to direct TV

393
00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:17,320
Speaker 1: on the field that you really find out what he's

394
00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:20,360
Speaker 1: made of. That's why the Cowboys rely on more than

395
00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:24,120
Speaker 1: just stats and scouting reports when building their team. When

396
00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:26,840
Speaker 1: picking a tractor, it's why you should rely on more

397
00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:29,439
Speaker 1: than just specs and features. You've got to take it

398
00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:32,360
Speaker 1: out and put it to the test. The Cowboys did

399
00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:36,320
Speaker 1: when they named John Dear their official tractor experience one

400

402
00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:50,960
Speaker 1: segment of the show, before we went to break, Derek

403
00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:54,440
Speaker 1: was going to post a very interesting question, so I'll

404
00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:56,919
Speaker 1: let you finish well. It was I thought that this

405
00:19:57,000 --> 00:20:00,040
Speaker 1: is a question that I had assumed everybody listening, I

406
00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:02,560
Speaker 1: assume even people in this panel. I thought about, um

407
00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:04,680
Speaker 1: because I heard you guys talking a little bit about

408
00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:06,919
Speaker 1: this last night when you did the emergency podcast. By

409
00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:09,480
Speaker 1: the way, you guys did a phenomenal job coming off

410
00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:11,199
Speaker 1: that flight and jumping on there. Thank you really really

411
00:20:11,240 --> 00:20:15,879
Speaker 1: great job. But um so is anybody just exhausted like

412
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:18,639
Speaker 1: about this that I was last night? Like I almost

413
00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:20,560
Speaker 1: I felt, really and you know what what I thought,

414
00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:22,480
Speaker 1: I know where We're getting to a really big topic here.

415
00:20:22,520 --> 00:20:26,239
Speaker 1: But just like that whole trip and was almost like

416
00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:28,959
Speaker 1: mentally exhausted. It was you know, it's just like it

417
00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:30,800
Speaker 1: wasn't physically we didn't do a whole lot of thing.

418
00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:33,320
Speaker 1: We didn't walk around a little bit, tackle anybody, No,

419
00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:36,320
Speaker 1: but just mentally, I mean, just a lot going on,

420
00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:38,280
Speaker 1: a lot of things, you know, in the game was

421
00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:40,879
Speaker 1: was was crazy, And then that museum was kind of

422
00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:44,560
Speaker 1: heavy too. That can sometimes zapp of your somber experience.

423
00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:47,560
Speaker 1: It's a good experience, but it's is an experience that

424
00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:49,080
Speaker 1: can take a lot out of you. I think just

425
00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:51,320
Speaker 1: you get used to you know, the Cowboys throw you

426
00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:54,520
Speaker 1: high heat for seven weeks and I'm setting getting ready,

427
00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:57,280
Speaker 1: and then they just slider just all the way across

428
00:20:57,359 --> 00:21:00,480
Speaker 1: the plate like no, Like I'm like I was the

429
00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:03,280
Speaker 1: guy yesterday just lunging for the ball and just like

430
00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:07,200
Speaker 1: just the worst swing, no plate discipline. I've never been

431
00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:10,720
Speaker 1: more thrown off by it. A story, a news cycle. Yeah,

432
00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:13,240
Speaker 1: we get on the plane to leave and this is

433
00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:15,680
Speaker 1: this is after the museum and all that, and I

434
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:18,560
Speaker 1: mean I should have known. I turned to Rob and

435
00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:21,800
Speaker 1: I said, isn't it nice to not have to pull

436
00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:25,240
Speaker 1: out your computer and work and write anything, you know,

437
00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:27,320
Speaker 1: like we always have to do. We always have to

438
00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:28,679
Speaker 1: do it, you know, after a game and this is

439
00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:31,320
Speaker 1: you know, and and Dave's in front of us out,

440
00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:34,840
Speaker 1: I mean, like knocked out. Snap. Then all of a sudden,

441
00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:39,880
Speaker 1: it's just started. You know, you just start seeing phone

442
00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:41,520
Speaker 1: people showing their phone to other people, so you know

443
00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:44,760
Speaker 1: it's Dave was out the whole time, and literally woke up,

444
00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:47,439
Speaker 1: turned around. It was like, what's up. Like, we just

445
00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:49,680
Speaker 1: traded for Mark Hubert. Rob's got the story. It's done.

446
00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:51,680
Speaker 1: We're waiting for the confirmation. We're gonna send it out.

447
00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:55,480
Speaker 1: And he was just like what, like, really, are you

448
00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:57,280
Speaker 1: messing with me? You didn't say that, but like, are

449
00:21:57,280 --> 00:22:01,000
Speaker 1: you messing with me? We were on the buck waiting

450
00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:03,919
Speaker 1: to go through security. I saw I was just watching

451
00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:07,200
Speaker 1: and I saw Garrett get off the plane to the

452
00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:09,720
Speaker 1: escalator thing and just talking on the phone, and I

453
00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:12,720
Speaker 1: was wondering, I'm like, humm, what could he be talking?

454
00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:15,840
Speaker 1: Everybody's here, yeah, yeah, And and the way his facial

455
00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:19,000
Speaker 1: expressions and stuff, I'm like, this things serious. It was

456
00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:22,119
Speaker 1: a very animated because I passed by him going on

457
00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:25,200
Speaker 1: to the plane. He was pretty animated, so there was

458
00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:31,400
Speaker 1: something going on. Yeah, but this this move is you know, well,

459
00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:34,080
Speaker 1: should help him. I mean it should. This is a

460
00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:38,360
Speaker 1: now move, which but they said, coach, he needs next year,

461
00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:41,160
Speaker 1: year after that year. It's not just a now move,

462
00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:43,280
Speaker 1: but it is a now move. That's what we said before.

463
00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:45,080
Speaker 1: Is this for an is it panic button or is

464
00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:46,720
Speaker 1: it down the road? And it's a little bit of both.

465
00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:49,400
Speaker 1: I will I will allow that with that caveat yeah,

466
00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:52,920
Speaker 1: because I think it's a big picture move too. Because absolutely,

467
00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:55,760
Speaker 1: to get into the topic that we were getting into,

468
00:22:56,920 --> 00:23:00,199
Speaker 1: Amari Cooper is the name, and the nineteen jerseys are

469
00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:02,200
Speaker 1: the ones that are for sale. But this is he

470
00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:06,080
Speaker 1: just got faster too. By nineteen o nine is a

471
00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:09,720
Speaker 1: gross number, like darceiver, Yeah, nineteen. But now you're you

472
00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:13,720
Speaker 1: know right, you can run everything everything about this move.

473
00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:16,879
Speaker 1: It's it's all about Dak Prescott to me, like the

474
00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:20,119
Speaker 1: whole thing, it's he needs you know, this is the

475
00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:22,840
Speaker 1: Cowboys line of logic. Is he needs help? You know,

476
00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:26,240
Speaker 1: it's it's not working with you know, Dak Prescott at

477
00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:28,399
Speaker 1: this point in his career, he is not going to

478
00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:34,240
Speaker 1: elevate receivers, you know, I mean Aaron Rodgers take seven

479
00:23:34,359 --> 00:23:36,560
Speaker 1: undrafted free agents, and he's gonna make him look like

480
00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:39,240
Speaker 1: Pro bowlers. Dak is not there, and that the Cowboys

481
00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:42,160
Speaker 1: have clearly come to that conclusion. They're bringing him some help.

482
00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:45,600
Speaker 1: He's got nine games. We've seen it work with a

483
00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:48,320
Speaker 1: top not receiver. You know, sixteen Dez was good, and

484
00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:51,920
Speaker 1: I think that's something to remember. Amari Cooper doesn't need

485
00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:54,280
Speaker 1: to be a one hundred and twenty yards per game

486
00:23:54,359 --> 00:23:57,520
Speaker 1: type of guy. Dez finished with eight something in twenty sixteen,

487
00:23:57,840 --> 00:24:00,040
Speaker 1: but he was just enough enough of a threat that

488
00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:02,800
Speaker 1: had opened up the field for Cole, Beasley and Zeke

489
00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:05,600
Speaker 1: and that's that's all Cooper needs to be. But Dak

490
00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:10,240
Speaker 1: has to perform with that, and that's you got nine

491
00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:13,879
Speaker 1: games this year and now certainly sixteen games next year. Like,

492
00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:16,080
Speaker 1: let there be no doubt that Dak Prescott's going to

493
00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:18,800
Speaker 1: be the starting quarterback in twenty nineteen. If that upsets you,

494
00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:20,480
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, but what else are you going to do?

495
00:24:20,520 --> 00:24:24,000
Speaker 1: I mean, you could conceivably throw a ton of money

496
00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:27,199
Speaker 1: at Teddy Bridgewater, who does not have a better resume

497
00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:30,280
Speaker 1: than Dak Prescott. Other than that, what are you gonna do?

498
00:24:30,359 --> 00:24:32,920
Speaker 1: Draft another fourth round quarterback and hope for the best. No,

499
00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:36,000
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott's your guy in nineteen. I would bet right

500
00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:40,240
Speaker 1: now they'll probably franchise him after that, assuming he's even

501
00:24:40,600 --> 00:24:44,359
Speaker 1: remotely good next year. I think this trade to me

502
00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:46,560
Speaker 1: means Dak is the starting quarterback for at least like

503
00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:48,960
Speaker 1: two more seasons. And that's why I think this is

504
00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:51,240
Speaker 1: so important. And he's going to have to prove to

505
00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:54,440
Speaker 1: them that he's worth further investment. But what happens if

506
00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:57,080
Speaker 1: you get through this season and you realize you couldn't

507
00:24:57,119 --> 00:25:02,720
Speaker 1: evaluate Cooper or Dak because, in my opinion, the problems

508
00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:05,840
Speaker 1: that you're having on offense them mostly from the offensive line.

509
00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:09,040
Speaker 1: And no, seriously, look at this last game. He got

510
00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:11,560
Speaker 1: sacked four times. There were a number of times where

511
00:25:11,560 --> 00:25:13,040
Speaker 1: he was trying to make a throw and could not

512
00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:15,680
Speaker 1: make a throw because somebody was in his face, particularly

513
00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:17,640
Speaker 1: the play where they end up giving up the touchdown

514
00:25:17,680 --> 00:25:21,200
Speaker 1: on the fumble. I think that I think that this

515
00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:25,520
Speaker 1: is a case where you may have great people at

516
00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:27,640
Speaker 1: wide receiver. You might have a great wide receiver group.

517
00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:30,400
Speaker 1: Let's assume it was a great wide receiver group. If

518
00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:33,679
Speaker 1: the offensive line isn't doing its job, if they're not

519
00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:36,480
Speaker 1: consistently being able to run specifically on the road, which

520
00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:39,760
Speaker 1: is that's the narrative right now? Then does any of

521
00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:43,480
Speaker 1: that really matter? And can you really truly evaluate Cooper

522
00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:47,560
Speaker 1: and or Hearns and or Dak if the offensive line

523
00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:49,520
Speaker 1: isn't playing up to the level that you expect them

524
00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:53,360
Speaker 1: to play, well, yeah, it is gonna be hard. It's

525
00:25:53,359 --> 00:25:57,119
Speaker 1: hard to evaluate your offensive line. It's hard to evaluate

526
00:25:57,160 --> 00:25:59,400
Speaker 1: your team if your offensive line is struggling like that

527
00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:02,159
Speaker 1: and you know that they are no longer this elite

528
00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:04,399
Speaker 1: offensive line anymore. I mean, there used to be three

529
00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:08,280
Speaker 1: Pro bowlers that are playing great, and you know, Tyrn

530
00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:12,040
Speaker 1: Smith is just not playing like an elite left tackle.

531
00:26:12,280 --> 00:26:15,920
Speaker 1: Now I don't, I don't. He's he's not. He's good. Actually,

532
00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:17,760
Speaker 1: he's good. He's one of the best in the league.

533
00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:19,920
Speaker 1: He's still you know, he's still at that level. But

534
00:26:20,280 --> 00:26:22,960
Speaker 1: you know, Zack Martin is really good. Connor Williams had

535
00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:25,520
Speaker 1: the worst game I think of his career right there.

536
00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:29,280
Speaker 1: He was really bad. And Lyle's not not making that

537
00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:32,120
Speaker 1: that that jump either. I think Looney is probably your

538
00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:35,440
Speaker 1: third best lineman right now. Um, if you saw the

539
00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:39,200
Speaker 1: fumble that for the touchdown. Did anyone see Connor Williams

540
00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:41,720
Speaker 1: on that play? Connor was blocking the guy that ended

541
00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:44,680
Speaker 1: up scoring. He got called for holding the play before,

542
00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:46,480
Speaker 1: which really, I mean that changed the whole game. That

543
00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:49,159
Speaker 1: holding pilling was huge. But the next play he was

544
00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:51,280
Speaker 1: holding worse than that, and they didn't call it. He

545
00:26:51,359 --> 00:26:53,600
Speaker 1: was holding onto the guy's jersey and from the ground

546
00:26:53,600 --> 00:26:55,800
Speaker 1: he's on the ground and holding his jersey and he

547
00:26:55,840 --> 00:26:58,840
Speaker 1: didn't hold it well enough because Preston Smith's got the fumble.

548
00:26:59,119 --> 00:27:02,080
Speaker 1: I mean, he was really really bad and Zack Martin

549
00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:04,680
Speaker 1: tackling college move him to guard. It's an all pro.

550
00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:08,399
Speaker 1: He's great. It hasn't worked like that yet for Connor Williams.

551
00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:10,320
Speaker 1: I'm not saying he's not going to be, but but

552
00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:13,800
Speaker 1: they you know, Looney's just holding his own and then

553
00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:16,600
Speaker 1: he's right there. Lyle's not doing his thing and Tyrant

554
00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:18,800
Speaker 1: gets beat more than he thought. And I actually think

555
00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:21,200
Speaker 1: that a part. I've been thinking a lot about Tyrant.

556
00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:24,439
Speaker 1: I actually think it's more plausible in my mind that

557
00:27:24,520 --> 00:27:27,920
Speaker 1: the things we've seen that are not great plays from

558
00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:29,920
Speaker 1: Tyran this year have a lot to do with him

559
00:27:30,040 --> 00:27:32,560
Speaker 1: worrying about what's happening at guard. I really do believe that,

560
00:27:32,800 --> 00:27:36,520
Speaker 1: because I cannot understand how a guy that was so

561
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:39,480
Speaker 1: just money you put him out there and he was

562
00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:42,800
Speaker 1: shutting down. Whoever was coming around his corner now is

563
00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:45,520
Speaker 1: giving up. I think just guys are just getting around him.

564
00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:47,200
Speaker 1: That you would be like, there's no way that guy

565
00:27:47,240 --> 00:27:49,639
Speaker 1: gets around him last year, and the only thing I

566
00:27:49,640 --> 00:27:51,880
Speaker 1: can think of that's what's different is that he does

567
00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:54,080
Speaker 1: have to rely on him a little, especially this last game.

568
00:27:54,119 --> 00:27:56,520
Speaker 1: We saw one one play where they did a twist

569
00:27:57,000 --> 00:28:00,280
Speaker 1: and Tyrn was late getting off his guy. You do

570
00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:02,640
Speaker 1: wonder if he's having to ride that guy a little

571
00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:05,679
Speaker 1: bit longer, that's that's going down because I don't trust

572
00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:07,600
Speaker 1: that my guard can just step right in and stop

573
00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:09,040
Speaker 1: him in stone wall him. So I got to hold

574
00:28:09,040 --> 00:28:10,960
Speaker 1: a little longer, and now all of a sudden, that

575
00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:13,880
Speaker 1: guy gets around me. You, I mean, you might be right,

576
00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:16,200
Speaker 1: and I mean, there's no way to know without talking

577
00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:18,439
Speaker 1: to Tyron and the coaches. I would guess, but you

578
00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:21,840
Speaker 1: don't think it's just possible that Tyron Smith is already

579
00:28:21,880 --> 00:28:24,560
Speaker 1: approaching a decade in the league and has had chronic

580
00:28:24,840 --> 00:28:28,480
Speaker 1: issues with his back, which is a big problem for anybody.

581
00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:31,840
Speaker 1: I mean, I have back problems in it. I suck

582
00:28:31,880 --> 00:28:33,639
Speaker 1: at just sitting in a desk all day. You're not

583
00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:36,160
Speaker 1: a world class athlete though, No, absolutely not, And there

584
00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:39,600
Speaker 1: might not be a better there might. But he's been playing.

585
00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:42,240
Speaker 1: He's been playing with those same injuries. Yeah, and and

586
00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:45,120
Speaker 1: umulate over time. I mean, you get older, you have

587
00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:47,840
Speaker 1: more injuries, you put more wear and tear on it,

588
00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:49,960
Speaker 1: get it. None of that has shown up on the

589
00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:52,360
Speaker 1: injury report, first of all, and second of all, on

590
00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:54,440
Speaker 1: the injury report all the time. Is he on the

591
00:28:54,480 --> 00:28:57,400
Speaker 1: injury report? Was he's been on the injury report? Was

592
00:28:56,680 --> 00:28:59,120
Speaker 1: he in on the injury report last week? I'm pretty

593
00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:02,160
Speaker 1: sure he was with a back injury or neck injury.

594
00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:05,960
Speaker 1: Who knows. All I'm saying is all I'm saying. Is

595
00:29:06,320 --> 00:29:08,920
Speaker 1: the point I'm making is just that I think that

596
00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:12,720
Speaker 1: it's probably pretty plausible that what you're seeing from Tymas Smith,

597
00:29:12,760 --> 00:29:15,040
Speaker 1: at least those players that are that are negative plays

598
00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:17,840
Speaker 1: for him, have something to do with the fact that

599
00:29:17,880 --> 00:29:20,320
Speaker 1: he's having to give more thought and more effort to

600
00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:22,680
Speaker 1: making sure he doesn't hang out his rookie to drop

601
00:29:23,640 --> 00:29:27,040
Speaker 1: aft ankle all last week ankle back, okay, And that's

602
00:29:27,240 --> 00:29:29,920
Speaker 1: and that's affecting him as much as anything else in

603
00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:33,680
Speaker 1: my opinion. Now, remember now that the right guard next

604
00:29:33,680 --> 00:29:35,680
Speaker 1: to him has never been a guy that's a pro

605
00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:39,480
Speaker 1: bowler anyways. But the type of player they have right

606
00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:45,520
Speaker 1: now is probably not helping him because Ron Leary was

607
00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:49,000
Speaker 1: a big dude. Yeah, I mean, and and even Jonathan Cooper.

608
00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:52,520
Speaker 1: I mean, these guys are are big type players. And

609
00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:54,520
Speaker 1: and that's Connor Williams is a little bit more of

610
00:29:54,520 --> 00:29:57,680
Speaker 1: a finesse guard um and he hasn't got the technique.

611
00:29:57,680 --> 00:30:00,320
Speaker 1: He's not built like a guard right now. And Zack

612
00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:02,240
Speaker 1: Martin is kind of a finesse cao if Zack Martin

613
00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:05,880
Speaker 1: doesn't really just pancake people, but his technique is amazing

614
00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:08,480
Speaker 1: and that's what makes him the best in the game.

615
00:30:08,760 --> 00:30:12,160
Speaker 1: But I think that that play you just said, if

616
00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:14,040
Speaker 1: you had a little bit more girth there, if you

617
00:30:14,080 --> 00:30:16,640
Speaker 1: had a bigger body, that you feel like, all right,

618
00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:18,960
Speaker 1: this guy's gonna hold his own more. And I think

619
00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:20,800
Speaker 1: that's kind of an issue and that's something that you

620
00:30:20,880 --> 00:30:22,880
Speaker 1: got to learn. I mean, Connor Williams is gonna to

621
00:30:22,880 --> 00:30:25,640
Speaker 1: get Here's the question is that I'm seeing a lot

622
00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:29,360
Speaker 1: of people asking this how much is due to the

623
00:30:29,440 --> 00:30:33,000
Speaker 1: coaching part of it on the all line because or

624
00:30:33,160 --> 00:30:36,800
Speaker 1: is it more just the execution of it that's it.

625
00:30:37,560 --> 00:30:41,680
Speaker 1: I think it's nine that I really believe that. I

626
00:30:41,760 --> 00:30:44,600
Speaker 1: heard it yesterday in the museum, which is bad. I

627
00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:46,720
Speaker 1: shouldn't really be talking about that. I mean, you know,

628
00:30:47,040 --> 00:30:49,800
Speaker 1: but but that came up. I heard people talking about

629
00:30:49,800 --> 00:30:52,280
Speaker 1: it then. I've heard people talk about it back in February.

630
00:30:52,680 --> 00:30:56,600
Speaker 1: I've heard a player on one of the starters say,

631
00:30:56,760 --> 00:30:59,440
Speaker 1: we're gonna do what we do. I don't know how

632
00:30:59,520 --> 00:31:01,000
Speaker 1: much this guy is going to help us, talking about

633
00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:04,840
Speaker 1: Paul Alexander. So it didn't even start off well. And

634
00:31:04,840 --> 00:31:07,400
Speaker 1: and I don't think that thing has worked out. I'll

635
00:31:07,440 --> 00:31:10,120
Speaker 1: be shocked if he's the offensive line coach next year.

636
00:31:10,160 --> 00:31:12,440
Speaker 1: I really will. Yeah. I think there's so many problems

637
00:31:12,440 --> 00:31:14,400
Speaker 1: that are happening you have to address. You have to

638
00:31:14,480 --> 00:31:16,680
Speaker 1: say what's different. It's different obviously there were different players,

639
00:31:16,720 --> 00:31:18,080
Speaker 1: but you would expect that the coach is going to

640
00:31:18,120 --> 00:31:19,560
Speaker 1: be able to coach up the rookie. He's gonna be

641
00:31:19,600 --> 00:31:21,680
Speaker 1: able to get him ready to go. And it just

642
00:31:21,720 --> 00:31:24,200
Speaker 1: hasn't worked out. And I want, sorry, Dave, I want

643
00:31:24,640 --> 00:31:28,120
Speaker 1: Frederick Martin and Tyrn Smith. I want them that they've

644
00:31:28,160 --> 00:31:31,120
Speaker 1: been around long enough. Pick the guy, Pick the guy

645
00:31:31,160 --> 00:31:33,440
Speaker 1: that's gonna work. Who do you know who? Who who

646
00:31:33,480 --> 00:31:35,719
Speaker 1: will push you to pick their coach? Well, I mean,

647
00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:37,680
Speaker 1: I mean, let's at least have some input in a

648
00:31:37,760 --> 00:31:40,479
Speaker 1: little bit. You know, maybe you're about that quarterbacks. I've

649
00:31:40,480 --> 00:31:41,960
Speaker 1: never heard about it with a no line. Yeah. Well,

650
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:45,720
Speaker 1: I'm just saying this supposedly this good. Maybe that is

651
00:31:45,760 --> 00:31:48,560
Speaker 1: the right way to go. And it's it's tough for coaches,

652
00:31:48,560 --> 00:31:50,480
Speaker 1: it really is. Now he's been coaching twenty seven years,

653
00:31:50,480 --> 00:31:52,400
Speaker 1: so he's like, this is the way I do things.

654
00:31:52,680 --> 00:31:55,400
Speaker 1: It's always these old tight end coaches would come in

655
00:31:55,440 --> 00:31:57,800
Speaker 1: and try to coach Witten like, Okay, it's a little

656
00:31:57,800 --> 00:32:00,560
Speaker 1: bit different. And yeah, and I think that's a that's

657
00:32:00,600 --> 00:32:02,880
Speaker 1: a big part of this thing as well. I don't

658
00:32:02,920 --> 00:32:06,600
Speaker 1: think that has meshed well with old school theories and

659
00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:09,160
Speaker 1: stuff with and I thought it would. I would. I

660
00:32:09,200 --> 00:32:11,280
Speaker 1: would really thought that that would be. Wow, you got

661
00:32:11,320 --> 00:32:13,560
Speaker 1: this guy and he's got great tools to work with.

662
00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:17,880
Speaker 1: That has not worked. He's done an awesome job of

663
00:32:17,960 --> 00:32:21,000
Speaker 1: deflecting because we were supposed to be talking about the quarterback. Well,

664
00:32:21,520 --> 00:32:23,720
Speaker 1: but I think you already addressed that, and that's why

665
00:32:23,720 --> 00:32:25,400
Speaker 1: I kind of took in a little different direction because

666
00:32:25,400 --> 00:32:27,040
Speaker 1: I think the offensive line is just as much a

667
00:32:27,080 --> 00:32:29,680
Speaker 1: part of this as the quarterback. But I guess I

668
00:32:29,760 --> 00:32:31,840
Speaker 1: was just going to ask the question going further. Do

669
00:32:31,920 --> 00:32:35,440
Speaker 1: you think that Amari Cooper makes Dak and or the

670
00:32:35,480 --> 00:32:37,960
Speaker 1: offensive line better? Is he that kind of player? Well,

671
00:32:38,080 --> 00:32:40,840
Speaker 1: and that's the big thing for me is to answer

672
00:32:40,920 --> 00:32:43,520
Speaker 1: your question more directly, number one, And I hear you.

673
00:32:43,600 --> 00:32:46,400
Speaker 1: The offensive line has certainly been a problem, especially on

674
00:32:46,440 --> 00:32:51,040
Speaker 1: the road, and it bums me out to watch Tyrn

675
00:32:51,280 --> 00:32:54,400
Speaker 1: and Lyle Colins struggle because I'm big fans of both

676
00:32:54,400 --> 00:32:58,240
Speaker 1: of them as people, and they've obviously played well, Tyring

677
00:32:58,360 --> 00:33:00,560
Speaker 1: more so than Lyall, but they've both played here in

678
00:33:00,560 --> 00:33:04,800
Speaker 1: their cowboy criers. Anyway, to answer the question more directly,

679
00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:09,680
Speaker 1: you Dak Prescott is a quarterback or base I mean,

680
00:33:09,840 --> 00:33:12,240
Speaker 1: everything has to be perfect for him to play up

681
00:33:12,240 --> 00:33:14,320
Speaker 1: to the potential you need him to, which is it's

682
00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:17,080
Speaker 1: a problem in the modern NFL. Like that's really not

683
00:33:17,480 --> 00:33:20,760
Speaker 1: something that I'm trying to hear, but that's what we've

684
00:33:20,760 --> 00:33:23,120
Speaker 1: seen so far, is like when his offensive line is

685
00:33:23,200 --> 00:33:26,040
Speaker 1: kicking everybody's ass and his running back has got room

686
00:33:26,080 --> 00:33:28,720
Speaker 1: to run, and his receivers are getting open and he's

687
00:33:28,760 --> 00:33:30,960
Speaker 1: got time to find them. They can be pretty good.

688
00:33:31,240 --> 00:33:34,920
Speaker 1: When any part of that equation falls apart, it doesn't work.

689
00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:39,080
Speaker 1: And that's not a description of a quarterback that I

690
00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:41,520
Speaker 1: want to give a ton of money to. But this

691
00:33:41,600 --> 00:33:44,640
Speaker 1: trade again, to me, indicates that there they at least

692
00:33:44,640 --> 00:33:46,719
Speaker 1: want to explore this and see where it goes for

693
00:33:46,760 --> 00:33:49,960
Speaker 1: at least another season. If not to they're giving him

694
00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:53,480
Speaker 1: another player to work with. I think what they need

695
00:33:53,520 --> 00:33:58,120
Speaker 1: to do is give him a different offense to work with.

696
00:33:58,280 --> 00:34:01,480
Speaker 1: I really believe that revamp the whole thing. Listen, Lenahan

697
00:34:01,560 --> 00:34:04,080
Speaker 1: came in here to work with Tony Romo, and they

698
00:34:04,160 --> 00:34:07,200
Speaker 1: did some really good things together. But but I don't think,

699
00:34:07,480 --> 00:34:10,759
Speaker 1: and they've tried, and I get twenty sixteen that that

700
00:34:10,880 --> 00:34:14,720
Speaker 1: was magical what happened there, But but I don't think

701
00:34:14,920 --> 00:34:19,600
Speaker 1: that this offensive. I don't think Lenahan works well with

702
00:34:19,680 --> 00:34:22,680
Speaker 1: dak as far as every single week consistently, the guy

703
00:34:22,719 --> 00:34:25,319
Speaker 1: had eighty two yards rushing. He had Jacksonville on his

704
00:34:25,400 --> 00:34:27,839
Speaker 1: toes the whole game. You know, they were throwing deep,

705
00:34:27,880 --> 00:34:29,759
Speaker 1: they were going into around, they were doing things, and

706
00:34:29,800 --> 00:34:32,359
Speaker 1: then they come to Washington and it's completely different. It's

707
00:34:32,400 --> 00:34:34,960
Speaker 1: just been back and forth, back and forth, back and forth,

708
00:34:35,440 --> 00:34:38,799
Speaker 1: you know. I mean, and I talked to my eleven

709
00:34:38,840 --> 00:34:40,440
Speaker 1: year old daughter last night and she goes, I got

710
00:34:40,480 --> 00:34:42,879
Speaker 1: it figured out. This team wins, one loses, one win,

711
00:34:42,960 --> 00:34:44,480
Speaker 1: one's losing one. I was like, well, you got it

712
00:34:44,520 --> 00:34:46,840
Speaker 1: figured out right there. That's it. That's the story of

713
00:34:46,840 --> 00:34:49,200
Speaker 1: this team and franchise for the last few years. And

714
00:34:49,239 --> 00:34:51,200
Speaker 1: but but why is that? Can I can I play

715
00:34:51,200 --> 00:34:54,120
Speaker 1: Devil's advocate on that? Because I was watching the just

716
00:34:54,239 --> 00:34:57,040
Speaker 1: the kinds of play calls that they were they were running,

717
00:34:57,400 --> 00:35:00,680
Speaker 1: and it seemed like there were opportunities where Dak could

718
00:35:00,680 --> 00:35:02,800
Speaker 1: have run the ball. There were run pass options where

719
00:35:03,200 --> 00:35:05,880
Speaker 1: you know, basically he's back, he looks at the defense,

720
00:35:06,040 --> 00:35:09,280
Speaker 1: he makes the determination Zeke should get the ball. Could

721
00:35:09,280 --> 00:35:11,440
Speaker 1: it be? Could it be that maybe what we're seeing

722
00:35:11,560 --> 00:35:13,960
Speaker 1: is just that some teams that say we're going to

723
00:35:14,040 --> 00:35:17,000
Speaker 1: take away Dak versus taken away Zeke when it comes

724
00:35:17,040 --> 00:35:21,520
Speaker 1: to run pass option those games, it actually works because

725
00:35:21,640 --> 00:35:23,600
Speaker 1: if Zeke's getting the ball, they know how to stop

726
00:35:23,680 --> 00:35:25,640
Speaker 1: Zeke when he gets the ball because they got enough

727
00:35:25,640 --> 00:35:27,880
Speaker 1: guys in the box to do it. They can't account

728
00:35:27,920 --> 00:35:29,920
Speaker 1: for Dak when they leave him as the guy that

729
00:35:29,960 --> 00:35:32,239
Speaker 1: can keep the pull it back and run. Could that

730
00:35:32,320 --> 00:35:33,960
Speaker 1: be a part of the issue here as to why

731
00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:36,040
Speaker 1: we're seeing wins when it's one way and loss of

732
00:35:36,120 --> 00:35:39,879
Speaker 1: versus the other. Is it more defense driven offense driven? Well,

733
00:35:40,800 --> 00:35:43,960
Speaker 1: I don't know exactly that part of it exactly, you know,

734
00:35:44,080 --> 00:35:46,120
Speaker 1: to answer that, But I'll say this, the final two

735
00:35:46,200 --> 00:35:49,520
Speaker 1: drives of the game, the receivers didn't get any better.

736
00:35:49,880 --> 00:35:52,000
Speaker 1: But and obviously they're playing in a little bit more

737
00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:53,600
Speaker 1: of a prevent thing to make sure you don't get

738
00:35:53,640 --> 00:35:56,960
Speaker 1: beat deep. But Dak to me looked like he was

739
00:35:56,960 --> 00:35:59,319
Speaker 1: a run more, you know, run first type guy. Like

740
00:35:59,360 --> 00:36:01,040
Speaker 1: when it was there in any of the yards the

741
00:36:01,080 --> 00:36:04,080
Speaker 1: any yards they run, run, run, and they spread things out.

742
00:36:04,200 --> 00:36:05,839
Speaker 1: You didn't see a lot of tight ends out there.

743
00:36:06,040 --> 00:36:08,799
Speaker 1: You saw a spread out team. And I think the

744
00:36:08,800 --> 00:36:11,200
Speaker 1: receiver's now are gotten better with Cooper, but I think

745
00:36:11,200 --> 00:36:13,319
Speaker 1: they need to think like that more. He in his mind,

746
00:36:13,360 --> 00:36:15,239
Speaker 1: he was like, I'm running, I'm running, I'm doing this.

747
00:36:15,680 --> 00:36:17,759
Speaker 1: He needs to do that more so Is that on

748
00:36:17,840 --> 00:36:19,719
Speaker 1: him more than it is the offensive coordining? Well, both,

749
00:36:19,760 --> 00:36:22,040
Speaker 1: I mean they need to say, hey, you're a runner.

750
00:36:22,480 --> 00:36:24,680
Speaker 1: You're a runner. I don't. I don't. I mean if

751
00:36:24,680 --> 00:36:26,600
Speaker 1: he's if he's trying to make these passing yards to

752
00:36:26,920 --> 00:36:28,960
Speaker 1: make his money or whatever, I mean, that's not gonna work.

753
00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:32,919
Speaker 1: He needs to be a running quarterback. And I think

754
00:36:32,960 --> 00:36:35,880
Speaker 1: that showed him those final two drives, and his toughness

755
00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:38,000
Speaker 1: is off the chart. To me, he's the type of

756
00:36:38,040 --> 00:36:39,880
Speaker 1: guy you want as your quarterback. You wish he was

757
00:36:39,920 --> 00:36:41,560
Speaker 1: a little bit better to hang onto the ball, but

758
00:36:41,560 --> 00:36:44,360
Speaker 1: that's not really been his m o um. He's fighting

759
00:36:44,400 --> 00:36:46,560
Speaker 1: for He's dive in face first. You know, he did

760
00:36:46,640 --> 00:36:49,279
Speaker 1: all game long to questions to take that shot, and

761
00:36:49,320 --> 00:36:51,399
Speaker 1: you said it he was gonna take his licks. He did.

762
00:36:52,040 --> 00:36:56,440
Speaker 1: He took that hit. I know what. He comes back,

763
00:36:57,040 --> 00:36:59,799
Speaker 1: but he's already taken a hit like that. Okay, can

764
00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:03,040
Speaker 1: action protocol and all games on the line. There's the

765
00:37:03,080 --> 00:37:05,879
Speaker 1: goal line he's flying for. I mean, there is no

766
00:37:07,080 --> 00:37:11,719
Speaker 1: seventeen in Dak Prescott. You know he's running. No. Yeah,

767
00:37:11,800 --> 00:37:13,960
Speaker 1: I admire the crap out of that guy, which you know,

768
00:37:14,360 --> 00:37:17,320
Speaker 1: same thing with Tyrn and Lyle Like I hate having

769
00:37:17,320 --> 00:37:19,880
Speaker 1: to dog him with the way this offense has been

770
00:37:19,880 --> 00:37:22,000
Speaker 1: playing because I root, like hell for that guy. But

771
00:37:22,680 --> 00:37:25,320
Speaker 1: it is what it is through seven weeks of the season. Again,

772
00:37:25,360 --> 00:37:28,080
Speaker 1: to answer your question more directly, because I have so

773
00:37:28,080 --> 00:37:30,959
Speaker 1: many thoughts in my head. This has been a good

774
00:37:30,960 --> 00:37:34,800
Speaker 1: conversation one way. You know, if we're thinking of Amari

775
00:37:34,840 --> 00:37:38,680
Speaker 1: Cooper as a first round pick, if if you're offensive,

776
00:37:38,719 --> 00:37:40,919
Speaker 1: you know, if you can't evaluate it because you're offensive line,

777
00:37:40,960 --> 00:37:43,480
Speaker 1: I think that's BS. But well, you know what your

778
00:37:43,480 --> 00:37:46,600
Speaker 1: problem spot is. I mean, look at the offense heading

779
00:37:46,600 --> 00:37:48,359
Speaker 1: into the draft. You don't have a first round pick.

780
00:37:48,640 --> 00:37:52,960
Speaker 1: You need a tight end. And then what I mean, no,

781
00:37:53,400 --> 00:37:57,160
Speaker 1: I'm thinking, I'm purely thinking about and then what I mean,

782
00:37:57,239 --> 00:38:01,680
Speaker 1: identify your need signing him? Who when he is a

783
00:38:01,680 --> 00:38:04,200
Speaker 1: free agent? We're signing him, right, I would think so,

784
00:38:04,400 --> 00:38:08,920
Speaker 1: but our own shot back whatever, I don't want to

785
00:38:08,960 --> 00:38:12,640
Speaker 1: do that, to have done this in a month. Yeah, seriously, Okay, fine,

786
00:38:12,680 --> 00:38:15,799
Speaker 1: all right, fine, we can talk about that. There's so

787
00:38:15,840 --> 00:38:18,920
Speaker 1: many things that this trade changes. You think about sixty

788
00:38:18,960 --> 00:38:21,319
Speaker 1: seven million dollars in cap room and what all of

789
00:38:21,320 --> 00:38:23,680
Speaker 1: that means. Maybe you're active in free agent more than

790
00:38:23,680 --> 00:38:25,439
Speaker 1: you would be normally because you don't have a first

791
00:38:25,480 --> 00:38:28,560
Speaker 1: round pick. You can find Hey, you found Connor Williams

792
00:38:28,600 --> 00:38:30,920
Speaker 1: in the second round, and for all the criticism, I

793
00:38:30,920 --> 00:38:33,160
Speaker 1: think he's been much more good than bad and he

794
00:38:33,200 --> 00:38:36,440
Speaker 1: will be better next year. I guarantee. Yeah, you can

795
00:38:36,440 --> 00:38:38,399
Speaker 1: find yourself a center if you think you need one.

796
00:38:38,719 --> 00:38:40,800
Speaker 1: You can find yourself a guard. You don't want to

797
00:38:40,840 --> 00:38:44,000
Speaker 1: protect yourself, you don't need for or tackle. I don't

798
00:38:44,080 --> 00:38:47,479
Speaker 1: think that would be crazy, um so or or again.

799
00:38:47,520 --> 00:38:50,560
Speaker 1: Free agency, you're gonna have money to spend, So it's

800
00:38:50,680 --> 00:38:52,520
Speaker 1: almost kind of you know, it sucks to get rid

801
00:38:52,520 --> 00:38:54,960
Speaker 1: of that first round pick, but I'm kind of relieved

802
00:38:55,480 --> 00:38:58,880
Speaker 1: to have receiver sort of settled. Like I mean, you know,

803
00:38:59,239 --> 00:39:02,640
Speaker 1: Gallup is a yeah. Is it settled? Yes? Why it

804
00:39:02,920 --> 00:39:07,440
Speaker 1: freaking itself? First round pick? It's settled from the standpoint

805
00:39:07,440 --> 00:39:09,080
Speaker 1: that you've given away the first round and pick. You've

806
00:39:09,120 --> 00:39:11,040
Speaker 1: now lasted yourself to this guy. He's going to be

807
00:39:11,080 --> 00:39:13,440
Speaker 1: your guy. What I'm saying is, is it settled from

808
00:39:13,440 --> 00:39:15,880
Speaker 1: the standpoint of production? Well, are you going or are

809
00:39:15,880 --> 00:39:17,319
Speaker 1: you going to be looking back a year from now

810
00:39:17,360 --> 00:39:20,239
Speaker 1: saying oh, I don't know about bending a first round

811
00:39:20,280 --> 00:39:21,880
Speaker 1: pick because I don't know if we got the production,

812
00:39:21,920 --> 00:39:24,120
Speaker 1: what do you want to spend nine million dollars? Now

813
00:39:24,120 --> 00:39:26,960
Speaker 1: on your third on your third receiver, because Cole has

814
00:39:26,960 --> 00:39:29,160
Speaker 1: made it pretty clear where he thinks his value is

815
00:39:29,200 --> 00:39:31,000
Speaker 1: and he's about to be a free agent, and you've

816
00:39:31,040 --> 00:39:33,520
Speaker 1: got Cooper, You've got Gallop, and yeah, it would be

817
00:39:33,600 --> 00:39:35,640
Speaker 1: nice to have him in the mix. But at that price,

818
00:39:35,680 --> 00:39:37,680
Speaker 1: I don't know what would it costs a franchise Cole.

819
00:39:38,960 --> 00:39:40,839
Speaker 1: That would is that up there with the do they

820
00:39:40,840 --> 00:39:44,560
Speaker 1: have like a slot receiver? No? No, No, that would

821
00:39:44,560 --> 00:39:46,759
Speaker 1: be one of the That would be one of the

822
00:39:46,760 --> 00:39:50,959
Speaker 1: worst moves you could make, because because think about it's

823
00:39:51,000 --> 00:39:54,400
Speaker 1: it's Odell, It's yeah, who are they? That's why I

824
00:39:54,400 --> 00:39:55,920
Speaker 1: was asking the question, because I was like, is it

825
00:39:55,920 --> 00:39:57,480
Speaker 1: going to be with the other receivers or is it

826
00:39:57,480 --> 00:39:59,839
Speaker 1: gonna be with slot receivers? If I could figure out

827
00:40:00,120 --> 00:40:02,279
Speaker 1: to do a slot receiver franchise and I'm all in,

828
00:40:02,360 --> 00:40:07,799
Speaker 1: way right, but I'm not. I'm not not. Only this

829
00:40:07,880 --> 00:40:10,480
Speaker 1: team only ever uses three at a time, and you've

830
00:40:10,520 --> 00:40:12,920
Speaker 1: got two of them locked in for the foreseeable future.

831
00:40:13,040 --> 00:40:16,440
Speaker 1: If Cole Beasley doesn't have a future here, you can draft.

832
00:40:17,040 --> 00:40:19,280
Speaker 1: You can find a guy with that skill set without

833
00:40:19,360 --> 00:40:22,280
Speaker 1: spinning a ton of ta. Tavon could be that guy.

834
00:40:22,200 --> 00:40:24,880
Speaker 1: Maybe well, he's coming up. He's not under contract. I

835
00:40:24,920 --> 00:40:26,960
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, but maybe they resign him if

836
00:40:27,000 --> 00:40:30,719
Speaker 1: they think it's worth The is no no, no disrespect

837
00:40:30,719 --> 00:40:33,960
Speaker 1: at all intended to Cole Beasley. He is a matchup nightmare.

838
00:40:34,080 --> 00:40:36,000
Speaker 1: He's been the best at receiver this year's season for

839
00:40:36,040 --> 00:40:39,680
Speaker 1: the Cowboys. You can find that skill set much easier,

840
00:40:39,960 --> 00:40:45,880
Speaker 1: I think than the X the bona fide outside. Uh

841
00:40:45,920 --> 00:40:48,759
Speaker 1: Trey Quinn comes to mind, and he's on I R

842
00:40:48,880 --> 00:40:51,160
Speaker 1: for the Redskins right now anyway, but he was mister

843
00:40:51,200 --> 00:40:54,080
Speaker 1: irrelevant and had he not gotten hurt, he was gonna

844
00:40:54,120 --> 00:40:56,560
Speaker 1: be a starter for that offense. I mean it's you

845
00:40:56,600 --> 00:40:59,640
Speaker 1: can find that guy without spending a lot of resources

846
00:40:59,680 --> 00:41:01,640
Speaker 1: to do it. And you got Zeke too. So I

847
00:41:01,680 --> 00:41:05,720
Speaker 1: mean your skill players for the most part look fairly settled.

848
00:41:05,760 --> 00:41:08,400
Speaker 1: You need a tight end and you need help on

849
00:41:08,440 --> 00:41:12,200
Speaker 1: the line, depth, starter, whatever. Travis Frederick's health is going

850
00:41:12,280 --> 00:41:14,359
Speaker 1: to play a role in that. We'll see. But so

851
00:41:14,480 --> 00:41:17,040
Speaker 1: but you But your argument earlier was you're tied to

852
00:41:17,040 --> 00:41:18,879
Speaker 1: the quarterback. At this point, you think this move says

853
00:41:18,880 --> 00:41:21,120
Speaker 1: you're tied to the quarterback, So you're not worried about

854
00:41:21,160 --> 00:41:22,560
Speaker 1: the fact that you'd have to get a quarterback this

855
00:41:22,640 --> 00:41:24,840
Speaker 1: year with at least you are he's going to be

856
00:41:24,840 --> 00:41:28,040
Speaker 1: your starter next year. I bet my life, and then

857
00:41:28,200 --> 00:41:31,200
Speaker 1: I would guess probably in twenty twenty two if I

858
00:41:31,200 --> 00:41:37,080
Speaker 1: had to bet, so you got Oh yeah, let me

859
00:41:37,120 --> 00:41:43,160
Speaker 1: just give my mouth shut. Why why radio shows the objective? Right? Right? No?

860
00:41:43,520 --> 00:41:46,279
Speaker 1: I just you know, you guys keep going back and

861
00:41:46,320 --> 00:41:50,480
Speaker 1: forth on different I know, I know, so I have

862
00:41:51,000 --> 00:41:53,279
Speaker 1: so many different thoughts in my head, and one of

863
00:41:53,320 --> 00:41:56,960
Speaker 1: them being like, I hate and I understand. Yes, the

864
00:41:57,040 --> 00:42:00,200
Speaker 1: old line is not playing well or at least to

865
00:42:00,280 --> 00:42:03,959
Speaker 1: the level that we all expect. But I hate using

866
00:42:04,000 --> 00:42:09,680
Speaker 1: that as an excuse because how many an excuse it is.

867
00:42:08,760 --> 00:42:12,160
Speaker 1: It is. It is the whole point of again, the

868
00:42:12,160 --> 00:42:14,160
Speaker 1: whole point of what we did on the show is

869
00:42:14,200 --> 00:42:17,200
Speaker 1: we're we're supposed to analyze, and analyze means you look

870
00:42:17,200 --> 00:42:18,640
Speaker 1: at the things that you think are problems, you look

871
00:42:18,680 --> 00:42:20,279
Speaker 1: at the things that you think are good, and you

872
00:42:20,320 --> 00:42:23,040
Speaker 1: make an analysis. The point is the offensive line has

873
00:42:23,080 --> 00:42:25,279
Speaker 1: not been what they expected it to be. And by

874
00:42:25,280 --> 00:42:28,960
Speaker 1: the way this whole thing is built around, they were

875
00:42:29,000 --> 00:42:31,640
Speaker 1: going to have a dominant offensive line. Their whole offensive

876
00:42:31,640 --> 00:42:34,320
Speaker 1: philosophy is built around the concept of having a starting

877
00:42:34,360 --> 00:42:36,919
Speaker 1: with a dominant offensive line. So if the offensive line

878
00:42:36,960 --> 00:42:39,279
Speaker 1: is not dominant, how is the whole thing going to work?

879
00:42:39,360 --> 00:42:41,879
Speaker 1: Like that's the most important key to what they want

880
00:42:41,880 --> 00:42:44,719
Speaker 1: to do offensively? How many offensive lines in the whole

881
00:42:44,800 --> 00:42:48,080
Speaker 1: NFL there are great? How many are there? They are great?

882
00:42:48,080 --> 00:42:50,480
Speaker 1: How many? How many teams have built their offensive around

883
00:42:50,680 --> 00:42:54,080
Speaker 1: having a great offensive line? Look, I don't care, But

884
00:42:55,000 --> 00:42:59,319
Speaker 1: what I'm saying is I don't have an answer for that. No,

885
00:42:59,320 --> 00:43:03,320
Speaker 1: that's good. You've gone great moments out of your offensive line.

886
00:43:03,360 --> 00:43:06,400
Speaker 1: And there comes times and past years, right, there comes

887
00:43:06,440 --> 00:43:08,919
Speaker 1: times where yes, you're not gonna be able to rely

888
00:43:09,040 --> 00:43:12,080
Speaker 1: on one specific aspect of your offense and you need

889
00:43:12,160 --> 00:43:14,600
Speaker 1: other people to work. Like I can't be fitting you

890
00:43:14,719 --> 00:43:17,239
Speaker 1: food in your mouth all the time, Like at one

891
00:43:17,280 --> 00:43:19,200
Speaker 1: point you need to learn to grab your own spoon

892
00:43:19,239 --> 00:43:21,440
Speaker 1: and fit it on your own. You know, I get

893
00:43:21,480 --> 00:43:23,480
Speaker 1: all the amber. I'm not saying. I'm not saying that

894
00:43:23,520 --> 00:43:25,759
Speaker 1: these other guys don't have responsibilities. I'm not saying the

895
00:43:25,760 --> 00:43:29,120
Speaker 1: receiver shouldn't bear some responsibility, quarterback shouldn't be responsibility, Zike

896
00:43:29,160 --> 00:43:32,359
Speaker 1: shouldn't be responsibility. My point is that if you want

897
00:43:32,360 --> 00:43:34,640
Speaker 1: to look at why things aren't working the way they're

898
00:43:34,640 --> 00:43:37,919
Speaker 1: supposed to work on this offense as we expected it too.

899
00:43:38,239 --> 00:43:41,520
Speaker 1: I think it starts with the offensive line, because they're

900
00:43:41,520 --> 00:43:44,040
Speaker 1: not playing and they were the part that you thought

901
00:43:44,080 --> 00:43:45,920
Speaker 1: going into the year that was the part of this

902
00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:48,839
Speaker 1: offense that you felt none of us have question marks

903
00:43:48,840 --> 00:43:51,279
Speaker 1: about this offensive line until Frederick went down and then

904
00:43:51,320 --> 00:43:53,960
Speaker 1: it was like, well maybe, but we're like, Noah, they're

905
00:43:53,960 --> 00:43:56,799
Speaker 1: still good enough. They're good and what we're seeing right

906
00:43:56,840 --> 00:43:58,799
Speaker 1: now is they're not playing to the level of what

907
00:43:58,840 --> 00:44:03,040
Speaker 1: you expected. This offense. This philosophy and the way they

908
00:44:03,080 --> 00:44:06,920
Speaker 1: want to play offense is all predicated on the offensive

909
00:44:06,920 --> 00:44:10,160
Speaker 1: line playing really really exceptionally well. True, But in my

910
00:44:10,320 --> 00:44:14,320
Speaker 1: personal opinion and from what I've seen so far, although

911
00:44:15,040 --> 00:44:19,080
Speaker 1: they have struggle, I don't think that it's been horrific

912
00:44:19,320 --> 00:44:22,239
Speaker 1: enough and super super bad to where you're able to

913
00:44:22,320 --> 00:44:24,759
Speaker 1: move the ball at all. I'm not I'm not what

914
00:44:24,800 --> 00:44:26,560
Speaker 1: I'm saying. I'm not saying it's been horrific. Did you

915
00:44:26,600 --> 00:44:28,160
Speaker 1: ever hear me say that's not what i'd say done,

916
00:44:28,200 --> 00:44:30,200
Speaker 1: but what I said it was good enough to help

917
00:44:30,239 --> 00:44:32,279
Speaker 1: you to let you or allow you to move the

918
00:44:32,280 --> 00:44:35,120
Speaker 1: ball in score like that has. Yes, I get it, it

919
00:44:35,000 --> 00:44:37,799
Speaker 1: it has been an issue. I absolutely agree, but not

920
00:44:37,920 --> 00:44:40,560
Speaker 1: to the point where that absolutely ruins your game. What

921
00:44:41,280 --> 00:44:43,239
Speaker 1: what did Dave say earlier? He said, in order for

922
00:44:43,280 --> 00:44:46,480
Speaker 1: this quarterback to be successful, lots of things have to

923
00:44:46,520 --> 00:44:48,839
Speaker 1: go right. That starts with the offensive line. He's gonna

924
00:44:48,840 --> 00:44:51,520
Speaker 1: need time, the running GA game's gonna have to be on.

925
00:44:51,840 --> 00:44:54,000
Speaker 1: Guess what, That's what you hits to for right now

926
00:44:54,320 --> 00:44:57,160
Speaker 1: until he grows as a quarterback, that's what your hits to.

927
00:44:57,280 --> 00:44:59,520
Speaker 1: That's why when you're dealing with a young quarterback, you

928
00:44:59,560 --> 00:45:01,520
Speaker 1: better have those other pieces in place. You better be

929
00:45:01,560 --> 00:45:03,480
Speaker 1: playing good defense, you better be able to run the ball,

930
00:45:03,520 --> 00:45:05,920
Speaker 1: because if you hang a rookie quarterback or a young

931
00:45:06,040 --> 00:45:09,239
Speaker 1: quarterback in this league out without those other things, this

932
00:45:09,320 --> 00:45:11,759
Speaker 1: is what you're going to get inconsistent play. Okay, let's

933
00:45:11,760 --> 00:45:13,640
Speaker 1: take our final break and when we come back, I'll

934
00:45:13,680 --> 00:45:15,480
Speaker 1: have a different question for you, and I hope you

935
00:45:15,480 --> 00:45:19,040
Speaker 1: can answer it. I'm sure I can't. While the player

936
00:45:19,040 --> 00:45:21,440
Speaker 1: can look good on paper, it's one he's out on

937
00:45:21,480 --> 00:45:23,880
Speaker 1: the field that you really find out what he's made of.

938
00:45:24,480 --> 00:45:27,320
Speaker 1: That's why the Cowboys rely on more than just stats

939
00:45:27,320 --> 00:45:31,280
Speaker 1: and scouting reports when building their team. When picking a tractor,

940
00:45:31,560 --> 00:45:33,840
Speaker 1: it's why you should rely on more than just specs

941
00:45:33,880 --> 00:45:36,480
Speaker 1: and features. You've got to take it out and put

942
00:45:36,520 --> 00:45:39,160
Speaker 1: it to the test. The Cowboys did when they named

991
00:48:18,920 --> 00:48:21,520
Speaker 1: Did you guys notice that another first round pick has

992
00:48:21,600 --> 00:48:26,200
Speaker 1: been traded? Yes? Eli Apple was awaint. I didn't see

993
00:48:26,239 --> 00:48:29,120
Speaker 1: what it was for now, fourth and seventh, Oh, fourth

994
00:48:29,160 --> 00:48:32,799
Speaker 1: in nineteen seventh, in twenty it's fun to dog pile

995
00:48:32,880 --> 00:48:34,960
Speaker 1: on the Cowboys. No, I wasn't dog I'm just saying

996
00:48:34,960 --> 00:48:36,880
Speaker 1: for a point of reference. Ye, that's what's happened. But

997
00:48:36,960 --> 00:48:40,560
Speaker 1: Eli Apple hasn't happened tenth of a career that Amari

998
00:48:40,600 --> 00:48:42,960
Speaker 1: Cooper on and off, like they've had problems with him

999
00:48:42,960 --> 00:48:45,360
Speaker 1: in the locker. I said this that yesterday and I'll

1000
00:48:45,400 --> 00:48:47,319
Speaker 1: say it again because it only it's only happened nine

1001
00:48:47,360 --> 00:48:50,680
Speaker 1: times in the history of the NFL where a receiver

1002
00:48:50,760 --> 00:48:52,759
Speaker 1: comes into the league has a thousand yards in the

1003
00:48:52,920 --> 00:48:56,040
Speaker 1: first two years that he did that. His third year

1004
00:48:56,200 --> 00:48:58,279
Speaker 1: wasn't as good, and this is his fourth year right now,

1005
00:48:58,320 --> 00:48:59,879
Speaker 1: and it's kind of been off and on a little bit.

1006
00:49:00,080 --> 00:49:02,080
Speaker 1: But Eli Apple did not come into the league and

1007
00:49:02,160 --> 00:49:05,520
Speaker 1: doing anything like that. Um. So that's it's hard to dupin.

1008
00:49:05,640 --> 00:49:08,080
Speaker 1: Even in that third year he had seven touchdowns, Yeah,

1009
00:49:08,080 --> 00:49:10,359
Speaker 1: the most most of his career. Yeah, he's had three

1010
00:49:10,400 --> 00:49:13,200
Speaker 1: straight years of five touchdowns. And the Cowboys a wide

1011
00:49:13,200 --> 00:49:16,120
Speaker 1: receiver has only done that here one time in the

1012
00:49:16,200 --> 00:49:19,319
Speaker 1: last eighteen years. No, I mean no, in the last

1013
00:49:19,680 --> 00:49:24,279
Speaker 1: thirteen years. Um, and that was dos Bryant's Brent. What

1014
00:49:24,320 --> 00:49:26,440
Speaker 1: about the guy that ended up coming here for a

1015
00:49:26,520 --> 00:49:28,720
Speaker 1: year he had ten touchdowns? Yeah, year was that eleven?

1016
00:49:28,840 --> 00:49:30,880
Speaker 1: Lauren Robinson? You know what I mean? He had for

1017
00:49:30,920 --> 00:49:33,160
Speaker 1: his whole career with the Cowboys eleven. So I mean

1018
00:49:33,200 --> 00:49:35,680
Speaker 1: he had Yeah, I mean that happens. Beasley has gone

1019
00:49:35,760 --> 00:49:37,759
Speaker 1: gone under a little bit, but I mean to did it,

1020
00:49:37,800 --> 00:49:39,880
Speaker 1: and then before that and then after that it was

1021
00:49:39,920 --> 00:49:41,840
Speaker 1: just death. So this just shows you a level of

1022
00:49:41,880 --> 00:49:44,759
Speaker 1: consistency of scoring touchdowns and that's what happens when, if

1023
00:49:44,800 --> 00:49:46,880
Speaker 1: anything else, you can just run by people. He's a

1024
00:49:46,880 --> 00:49:49,480
Speaker 1: big play guy. I mean he's got some long touchdowns too.

1025
00:49:49,520 --> 00:49:54,360
Speaker 1: My memory is hazy, but the Saints definitely don't have

1026
00:49:54,440 --> 00:49:56,759
Speaker 1: a first in nineteen and now they don't have a

1027
00:49:56,800 --> 00:50:00,279
Speaker 1: fourth or a seventh, and oh all right, they don't

1028
00:50:00,280 --> 00:50:01,879
Speaker 1: have a first or a fourth and they I don't

1029
00:50:01,920 --> 00:50:04,200
Speaker 1: think they have a third either because of another deal

1030
00:50:04,239 --> 00:50:06,799
Speaker 1: that they did. So hey, they're going all in. Many

1031
00:50:06,920 --> 00:50:08,799
Speaker 1: should I mean you look at their team, Yeah, they

1032
00:50:08,800 --> 00:50:10,319
Speaker 1: should go out. They don't not alone much as longer

1033
00:50:10,360 --> 00:50:12,759
Speaker 1: they're gonna have Breefe, so they should be going all in.

1034
00:50:12,840 --> 00:50:15,080
Speaker 1: There's really only one team in the NFC that looks

1035
00:50:15,120 --> 00:50:17,320
Speaker 1: like it can touch them, so and they look like

1036
00:50:17,360 --> 00:50:20,000
Speaker 1: they can definitely touch them. Oh yeah, I mean the

1037
00:50:20,120 --> 00:50:22,279
Speaker 1: Rams look great, but the good team, it's a really

1038
00:50:22,320 --> 00:50:24,399
Speaker 1: good team. That is a good team. All right, Well,

1039
00:50:24,480 --> 00:50:26,279
Speaker 1: trying to better with me here? Okay, all right, let's

1040
00:50:26,280 --> 00:50:28,400
Speaker 1: go let's take out let's try to take out the

1041
00:50:28,480 --> 00:50:30,640
Speaker 1: play calling, which is kind of hard to do because

1042
00:50:30,680 --> 00:50:32,839
Speaker 1: it kind of goes hand in hand with, you know,

1043
00:50:33,040 --> 00:50:35,600
Speaker 1: the performances happening on the field. But let's take it

1044
00:50:35,640 --> 00:50:39,960
Speaker 1: out for a second. Now. Once you start evaluating your players,

1045
00:50:40,040 --> 00:50:42,440
Speaker 1: and now that you have a Marii Cooper in the mix,

1046
00:50:42,960 --> 00:50:45,439
Speaker 1: let's say things just kind of keep going how they've

1047
00:50:45,440 --> 00:50:51,320
Speaker 1: been so far. What is the problem? Who is the problem?

1048
00:50:51,440 --> 00:50:54,759
Speaker 1: What do you do to change it? The question? Why

1049
00:50:54,760 --> 00:50:58,080
Speaker 1: don't you ask what you're really trying to ask? Honestly,

1050
00:50:58,120 --> 00:50:59,480
Speaker 1: I mean, if it's if it goes the way that

1051
00:50:59,480 --> 00:51:01,960
Speaker 1: it's continue you to go, I think I still go

1052
00:51:02,040 --> 00:51:04,120
Speaker 1: back to what I've been saying. I think your quarterback

1053
00:51:04,120 --> 00:51:06,719
Speaker 1: in your offensive line of where that's the genesis, because

1054
00:51:06,760 --> 00:51:10,719
Speaker 1: I don't, honestly, okay, what's happened to the first is

1055
00:51:10,719 --> 00:51:13,319
Speaker 1: going to answer the question? Okay, you're asking if they

1056
00:51:13,400 --> 00:51:15,440
Speaker 1: need to make a coaching change? Really is what you're

1057
00:51:15,440 --> 00:51:18,560
Speaker 1: as is that where you're going with this? No, Okay,

1058
00:51:19,120 --> 00:51:21,719
Speaker 1: I don't think that's what That's a different conversation, and

1059
00:51:21,719 --> 00:51:24,640
Speaker 1: I think we all kind of agree on that. What

1060
00:51:24,800 --> 00:51:30,120
Speaker 1: is the conversation? Okay, Okay, okay, listen, you got the team.

1061
00:51:30,800 --> 00:51:33,759
Speaker 1: Let's say the season ended and it ended with it

1062
00:51:33,800 --> 00:51:35,840
Speaker 1: being kind of how it is. Okay, even with a

1063
00:51:35,920 --> 00:51:38,600
Speaker 1: Maori Cooper in the mix, what are you freaking doing?

1064
00:51:38,640 --> 00:51:42,120
Speaker 1: Although they went down through different changes you can make

1065
00:51:42,280 --> 00:51:46,120
Speaker 1: in the draft. I mean, think about all the aspects

1066
00:51:46,200 --> 00:51:49,760
Speaker 1: of this. How many different elements can you actually improve

1067
00:51:49,960 --> 00:51:52,160
Speaker 1: just one person only thing? The only thing you can

1068
00:51:52,440 --> 00:51:54,279
Speaker 1: hope is, I think for the offensive line, when you're

1069
00:51:54,320 --> 00:51:57,719
Speaker 1: gonna hope is that Connor Williams is better in year two.

1070
00:51:57,719 --> 00:52:00,280
Speaker 1: You're giving me an offseason to get stronger, to get bigger,

1071
00:52:00,680 --> 00:52:02,719
Speaker 1: and you hope that he gets better and as a

1072
00:52:02,760 --> 00:52:05,160
Speaker 1: part of getting better, that helps Tying get better. You

1073
00:52:05,200 --> 00:52:08,360
Speaker 1: hope that Frederick is back and healthy and ready to play.

1074
00:52:08,400 --> 00:52:10,120
Speaker 1: Although I don't think Joe Looney has been a big

1075
00:52:10,120 --> 00:52:11,640
Speaker 1: problem for this same I think he's done well and

1076
00:52:11,640 --> 00:52:14,319
Speaker 1: he's under contract yes nineteen, And then I think you

1077
00:52:14,400 --> 00:52:17,160
Speaker 1: have to hope that Lyle plays better. I think a

1078
00:52:17,600 --> 00:52:21,560
Speaker 1: lot of I think that's where it starts. Now, you're

1079
00:52:21,560 --> 00:52:23,239
Speaker 1: not changing. We just finished saying you're not about to

1080
00:52:23,320 --> 00:52:25,839
Speaker 1: change the quarterback. Quarterback is going to be here. Well,

1081
00:52:25,880 --> 00:52:28,799
Speaker 1: you can change the calls that he makes. You can

1082
00:52:28,880 --> 00:52:31,479
Speaker 1: change the guy in the room. No offense to telling more.

1083
00:52:31,640 --> 00:52:35,080
Speaker 1: But I would rather do the Paul Alexander approach at quarterback.

1084
00:52:35,320 --> 00:52:38,440
Speaker 1: I would rather a quarterback coach that's been around, you know,

1085
00:52:38,480 --> 00:52:41,880
Speaker 1: for the fifteen twenty years, that's developed, other than a

1086
00:52:41,960 --> 00:52:44,799
Speaker 1: guy that has never won a game and he's not

1087
00:52:44,920 --> 00:52:47,440
Speaker 1: played in nearly as many games as the guy he's coaching.

1088
00:52:47,800 --> 00:52:50,719
Speaker 1: So I mean, like that's just young, young and young,

1089
00:52:50,800 --> 00:52:53,000
Speaker 1: and everyone blind leading the blind, and we just all

1090
00:52:53,040 --> 00:52:55,200
Speaker 1: I've said that from day one. There's nobody in that

1091
00:52:55,320 --> 00:52:58,440
Speaker 1: room that's got any experience. Dak is the most experienced

1092
00:52:58,440 --> 00:53:01,759
Speaker 1: guy playing football than that whole room, and he's still young.

1093
00:53:01,800 --> 00:53:03,359
Speaker 1: Were coaching football Because to be honest with I don't

1094
00:53:03,360 --> 00:53:05,200
Speaker 1: think you have to play the position for a long

1095
00:53:05,200 --> 00:53:07,000
Speaker 1: time in order to be great at being able to

1096
00:53:07,000 --> 00:53:08,759
Speaker 1: coach it, right, But I think you have to coach

1097
00:53:08,800 --> 00:53:10,040
Speaker 1: it for a while. I would think, I mean it,

1098
00:53:10,160 --> 00:53:13,520
Speaker 1: especially if you have a young quarterback. Wade Wilson, he

1099
00:53:13,640 --> 00:53:18,719
Speaker 1: had a lot experience to answer. If it finishes like this,

1100
00:53:19,000 --> 00:53:21,200
Speaker 1: only halfway through the season. But if it finishes like this,

1101
00:53:21,360 --> 00:53:24,719
Speaker 1: either below or at five hundred, with the offense ranked

1102
00:53:24,760 --> 00:53:27,800
Speaker 1: in the last eight of the league, there's gonna be changed,

1103
00:53:27,920 --> 00:53:31,000
Speaker 1: like there's no way around it. And only Jerry Jones

1104
00:53:31,080 --> 00:53:34,080
Speaker 1: knows if that means, like right at the top, Jason Garrett,

1105
00:53:34,239 --> 00:53:36,319
Speaker 1: I don't know. And then there's no point in trying

1106
00:53:36,320 --> 00:53:38,640
Speaker 1: to speculate on that not going to be a lot

1107
00:53:38,680 --> 00:53:41,359
Speaker 1: of player change. You wouldn't, No, No, I'm I mean

1108
00:53:41,520 --> 00:53:44,800
Speaker 1: specifically with the coaching already. You know you're talking about

1109
00:53:45,120 --> 00:53:49,359
Speaker 1: the offensive line coach, the offensive coordinator Scott Lanahan is

1110
00:53:49,880 --> 00:53:53,839
Speaker 1: arguably more criticized than Jason Garrett is. To be honest

1111
00:53:53,880 --> 00:53:57,600
Speaker 1: with you, if this offense finishes the season as bad

1112
00:53:57,600 --> 00:54:00,600
Speaker 1: as it has been through the first seven games, there

1113
00:54:00,640 --> 00:54:03,360
Speaker 1: has to be changed. And that's and they know that,

1114
00:54:03,400 --> 00:54:06,480
Speaker 1: Like I'm not saying anything controversial, they know that they're

1115
00:54:06,520 --> 00:54:12,040
Speaker 1: seeing enough changes in the players as far as player goes,

1116
00:54:12,080 --> 00:54:14,120
Speaker 1: and it's still the same thing is still happening. So

1117
00:54:14,360 --> 00:54:17,040
Speaker 1: that actually leads you to thinking, Okay, it's not about

1118
00:54:17,040 --> 00:54:18,839
Speaker 1: the player or the talent on the field is more

1119
00:54:19,200 --> 00:54:21,839
Speaker 1: And I don't think I don't think it's a coincidence

1120
00:54:21,880 --> 00:54:24,239
Speaker 1: that this trade happened right now. You know, you think

1121
00:54:24,239 --> 00:54:26,400
Speaker 1: back to the bye week. The last time this team

1122
00:54:26,800 --> 00:54:29,480
Speaker 1: really struggled in the first half of the season was fifteen.

1123
00:54:29,760 --> 00:54:32,360
Speaker 1: They went on the bye week, they benched Joseph Randall,

1124
00:54:32,680 --> 00:54:36,520
Speaker 1: they promoted Matt Castle. I think they did something else too,

1125
00:54:36,560 --> 00:54:40,360
Speaker 1: But you've got a week to acclimate things in practice.

1126
00:54:40,400 --> 00:54:43,040
Speaker 1: You've still got half the season to play. They don't

1127
00:54:43,080 --> 00:54:45,200
Speaker 1: want to give up on the season, but they're making

1128
00:54:45,280 --> 00:54:47,800
Speaker 1: moves that are saying, we're going to try to improve

1129
00:54:47,840 --> 00:54:50,040
Speaker 1: this because we are not okay with what it is

1130
00:54:50,120 --> 00:54:52,640
Speaker 1: right now, and if it doesn't get better, then the

1131
00:54:52,719 --> 00:54:55,080
Speaker 1: changes will only get bigger when the season's over. And

1132
00:54:55,120 --> 00:54:57,680
Speaker 1: I love that you just did that, because later this week,

1133
00:54:57,800 --> 00:54:59,719
Speaker 1: one of our days on this show, we're going to

1134
00:54:59,760 --> 00:55:02,759
Speaker 1: talk about what could be some potential changes, because you're right,

1135
00:55:02,840 --> 00:55:05,200
Speaker 1: during the bye week is where they tend to try

1136
00:55:05,200 --> 00:55:07,360
Speaker 1: to start making changes. One of them we've already seen. Obviously,

1137
00:55:07,520 --> 00:55:09,400
Speaker 1: they went out and got what they consider to be

1138
00:55:09,440 --> 00:55:12,000
Speaker 1: a number one callible wide receiver. Are there other changes

1139
00:55:12,000 --> 00:55:13,480
Speaker 1: that maybe they look at. Do they look at maybe

1140
00:55:13,480 --> 00:55:15,600
Speaker 1: shuffling this offensive line. I know we all kind of

1141
00:55:15,760 --> 00:55:17,840
Speaker 1: throw that one off in stiff arm it. But is

1142
00:55:17,840 --> 00:55:20,239
Speaker 1: that something worth considering that maybe you should put Lyo

1143
00:55:20,320 --> 00:55:22,480
Speaker 1: back down at guard because he was pretty good when

1144
00:55:22,480 --> 00:55:24,640
Speaker 1: he was playing at guard and it does give a

1145
00:55:24,640 --> 00:55:26,719
Speaker 1: little more experience there. It's a tyrant, so maybe that

1146
00:55:26,760 --> 00:55:28,320
Speaker 1: helps your left side a little bit more than you

1147
00:55:28,320 --> 00:55:30,759
Speaker 1: would hurt your right side. There's arguments to be made

1148
00:55:30,800 --> 00:55:33,040
Speaker 1: for changes at different places, and I think that's something

1149
00:55:33,080 --> 00:55:35,320
Speaker 1: we should talk about. When is our argument gonna happen?

1150
00:55:36,600 --> 00:55:38,600
Speaker 1: Why don't we try that for like, I don't know,

1151
00:55:38,760 --> 00:55:45,560
Speaker 1: Thursday or Friday. I mean, if you're gonna Friday, maybe Thursday,

1152
00:55:45,600 --> 00:55:48,080
Speaker 1: maybe okay, or maybe next Monday, who knows. All right,

1153
00:55:48,120 --> 00:55:50,480
Speaker 1: well are you having guys? That is all the time

1154
00:55:50,520 --> 00:55:52,360
Speaker 1: we have for today. Thank you for all the energy

1155
00:55:52,440 --> 00:55:55,760
Speaker 1: y'all brought here on the show, all this fun talk.

1156
00:55:55,840 --> 00:55:58,799
Speaker 1: Hopefully it works out for the Cowboys. We'll see. We

1157
00:55:58,840 --> 00:56:02,720
Speaker 1: don't know, but whatever, we'll figure it out eventually. Thanks

1158
00:56:02,719 --> 00:56:08,480
Speaker 1: for your energy, whatever. For Derek Eagleton, Nikki Men, David Hellman.
