John has showed him of the 8 00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:37,879 Speaker 1: athletic I merely knew, we scrugs to start the conversation 9 00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:43,440 Speaker 1: with you, Nick eat meows James Washington. Yep, give me 10 00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:46,120 Speaker 1: a date. According to just Nick Eatman him, Now here's 11 00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:49,960 Speaker 1: your opinion. When does he play? When does he suit 12 00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:53,280 Speaker 1: up in the game. Oh, this is a tough one 13 00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:57,280 Speaker 1: for me because close to your heart's close close to 14 00:00:57,360 --> 00:00:59,760 Speaker 1: my heart. That's definitely with the with the family at 15 00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:02,480 Speaker 1: the house here, he's from the same hometown as my wife. 16 00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:04,560 Speaker 1: So we get this question a lot like when's he 17 00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:08,479 Speaker 1: gonna play? I was joking, I didn't even know this. Yeah, 18 00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:11,040 Speaker 1: I didn't know that. Yeah, it really is like okay, yeah, 19 00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:13,280 Speaker 1: and so if I say anything negative about James Washington, 20 00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:15,520 Speaker 1: which there's no reason to really I you know, I 21 00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:19,839 Speaker 1: hear from that Okay the house, so um no, I 22 00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:21,640 Speaker 1: I don't know if he's going to play. Honestly, I 23 00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:24,360 Speaker 1: don't know. I don't I mean, I don't know. I 24 00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:26,640 Speaker 1: just don't know. I don't know if he's going to play. 25 00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:28,800 Speaker 1: I think this is a factor with O. B. J. 26 00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:32,400 Speaker 1: If if how many veteran receivers that aren't going to start, 27 00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:34,399 Speaker 1: that aren't going to play special teams can you really 28 00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:37,560 Speaker 1: have on your roster? And I just don't know. I 29 00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:44,200 Speaker 1: can't give you a good answer, mister negativity. Wow, I 30 00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:46,319 Speaker 1: don't know when he's gonna play. I mean, I'm with 31 00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:48,320 Speaker 1: Nick because I used to have to make a roster. 32 00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:51,000 Speaker 1: Who if you said, I mean, it's if it ain't 33 00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:53,560 Speaker 1: done deal. In the course of my girl, Josina Anderson says, 34 00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:56,280 Speaker 1: though the Wins are howling toward New York, which is 35 00:01:56,320 --> 00:02:00,640 Speaker 1: crazy in itself for Odell Becka. Which part of New York? Huh, 36 00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:03,800 Speaker 1: what's part of New York? The giant Western new York. 37 00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:05,480 Speaker 1: I think she was talking about the giants. But von 38 00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:07,080 Speaker 1: Miller said that if they get him in the building, 39 00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:09,480 Speaker 1: he doesn't think he's gonna leave. Well, that's part of it. 40 00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:11,919 Speaker 1: You know, Cowboy's getting last DIBs, And of course Jared 41 00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:13,920 Speaker 1: Jones said the lect their position to getting last DIBs 42 00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:17,200 Speaker 1: because he'll know what the lascape he's pretty much. But 43 00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:21,600 Speaker 1: I would nick, you know, I think that for one 44 00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:23,560 Speaker 1: reason to start his window, one reason gets them healthy. 45 00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:25,640 Speaker 1: So if you do sign o Odell Beckham, you can 46 00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:30,639 Speaker 1: cut him. He can't cut an injured player. Okay, yeah, yeah, 47 00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:32,600 Speaker 1: it makes sense. I don't I don't know how much 48 00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:34,280 Speaker 1: of an impact he would make even if he played, 49 00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:36,480 Speaker 1: when he does play, I just don't. I mean, coming 50 00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:38,919 Speaker 1: off the foot injury, that's not that's not something that 51 00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:40,600 Speaker 1: you're just going to come back from and go right 52 00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:42,880 Speaker 1: back to being one hundred percent what you were before. 53 00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:46,840 Speaker 1: And even in training camp, I mean, yeah, I thought 54 00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:48,919 Speaker 1: he was shaping up to be your number three receiver. 55 00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:51,040 Speaker 1: But I don't think he's a guy that like, do 56 00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:53,640 Speaker 1: you think he comes in and he's better than Noah Brown? No, 57 00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:56,640 Speaker 1: Because that's and and that's a great point because the 58 00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:59,839 Speaker 1: point is it's not like they're getting O'Dell Becker. Yeah, 59 00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:01,399 Speaker 1: it's not like the open the twenty one day window 60 00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:04,280 Speaker 1: and they're gonna get Odell Beckham type impact. You're you're 61 00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:06,040 Speaker 1: hoping to get a Noah Brown type being packed and 62 00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:08,120 Speaker 1: I don't know you're gonna get that. The biggest injury 63 00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:10,480 Speaker 1: to me is not the foot injury, and I don't 64 00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:12,799 Speaker 1: know what it was. Maybe it was another foot injury 65 00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:15,800 Speaker 1: he had. He was in a walking boot for a while. 66 00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:18,320 Speaker 1: We saw they're all summer. So here's a new player 67 00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:21,160 Speaker 1: that comes in and hasn't done really much of anything 68 00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:23,440 Speaker 1: in the off season. Then he gets to camp one 69 00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:26,040 Speaker 1: day in practice, then he gets hurt, so he doesn't 70 00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:28,720 Speaker 1: have that timing and really understanding of the offense that 71 00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:31,920 Speaker 1: you would want. This isn't like Tyrn Smith that you're like, well, 72 00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:35,240 Speaker 1: he's been here forever, just get back in here and go. So, 73 00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:37,480 Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't have a good answer for 74 00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:40,320 Speaker 1: you on that. I personally, I hope he comes in 75 00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:44,040 Speaker 1: and plays and plays well. So plays better than Jalen Tolbert. 76 00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:46,160 Speaker 1: All right, let me throw this out here. John John 77 00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:50,160 Speaker 1: answered it yesterday on the media Mashum with Kevin Gray, 78 00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:56,080 Speaker 1: John and Patrick Walker all were in on Odell Beckham Junior. 79 00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:58,640 Speaker 1: They were like, yes, let's do it. So Nick Claris, 80 00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:03,880 Speaker 1: are you in on Odell Beckham Chow. Yeah, yeah, I 81 00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:06,640 Speaker 1: mean I'm you know, I said this, I think on 82 00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:08,560 Speaker 1: the radio this morning one oh five three the Fan. 83 00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:10,720 Speaker 1: I don't play poker a lot, but you know you've 84 00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:13,600 Speaker 1: you've played, and you push your chips in your pot, committed, 85 00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:15,720 Speaker 1: You're like, let's just yes. I mean, I'm gonna I'm 86 00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:18,440 Speaker 1: gonna see the hand out. Let's do this. I'm invested. 87 00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:20,600 Speaker 1: I want to see it happen. I don't know what 88 00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:22,200 Speaker 1: it means for everything else. And I don't know what 89 00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:23,880 Speaker 1: his knee looked like. I don't know what it looks 90 00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:27,039 Speaker 1: like for signing these other players, you know. I mean, 91 00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:29,440 Speaker 1: does this mean you don't sign Tony Pollard next year? 92 00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:31,080 Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know. I don't know where they're 93 00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:33,960 Speaker 1: gonna get the money for all this. But franchise Tony? 94 00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:40,000 Speaker 1: Is that a good idea? Yes? Okay, that's quick. What's 95 00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:42,679 Speaker 1: the number? What's the franchise number? I think it's twelve. 96 00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:44,719 Speaker 1: I think Beam and I talked about's like twelve twelve 97 00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:48,560 Speaker 1: on running back that. I mean, Claire, there's no downside 98 00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:51,440 Speaker 1: to to to uh Odell Beckham. You're trying to win 99 00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:53,880 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl, right, You're trying to You're trying to win. 100 00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:56,040 Speaker 1: Uh we you know, we talked to Deck and Lark 101 00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:58,320 Speaker 1: room to day. He talked about how you know, he'd 102 00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:00,559 Speaker 1: been on other good teams before, but never a team 103 00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:03,880 Speaker 1: that that's this talented on both sides of the ball. 104 00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:06,239 Speaker 1: You know, we talked about twenty sixteen, but the defense 105 00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:08,880 Speaker 1: wasn't what it was. You know this, and then you 106 00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:13,520 Speaker 1: look at the landscape across the league and the windows open. 107 00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:16,880 Speaker 1: Now I agree, you know, and ode Odell put you 108 00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:20,000 Speaker 1: over the top and we'll let And I don't think that. 109 00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:22,600 Speaker 1: To me, it's gonna be about the contract. It's must 110 00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:25,159 Speaker 1: of year deal from from their understanding. You know, he's 111 00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:26,600 Speaker 1: a guy you want to locker room, not just this 112 00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:28,359 Speaker 1: year for next year. You know, obviously you have to 113 00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:30,040 Speaker 1: make the money work. But I don't see a problem 114 00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:31,960 Speaker 1: with the two or three year deal for Odell Beckham 115 00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:34,960 Speaker 1: that if he understands that you're not going to get 116 00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:38,120 Speaker 1: Tyreek Hill money, even though you have a Tyreek Hill 117 00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:41,599 Speaker 1: name and platform and you can build off your name 118 00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:44,440 Speaker 1: and your attention off the field, but you're not gonna 119 00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:46,200 Speaker 1: get that on the field. You're coming off to ACLS 120 00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:48,520 Speaker 1: and you're looking for a long term He's looking for 121 00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:51,880 Speaker 1: a long term home. So those are the things that 122 00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:55,440 Speaker 1: are there. Yeah, so it says on over the cap, 123 00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:58,680 Speaker 1: it's at a running back for this year. Franchise was 124 00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:02,640 Speaker 1: nine point five million. It'll go up a little bit, 125 00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:05,560 Speaker 1: but projection was twelve points. Okay, I got your. Projection 126 00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:08,800 Speaker 1: is twelve point six. M My thing on thee My 127 00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:11,840 Speaker 1: thing on the Odell deal was the just what if 128 00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:13,400 Speaker 1: you get into a game late in the season in 129 00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:16,040 Speaker 1: the playoffs, and I'm not saying it's a major injury, 130 00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:18,640 Speaker 1: but you lose CD for for a second half of 131 00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:21,000 Speaker 1: a game or Michael Gallopers and this receiving corps looks 132 00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:23,360 Speaker 1: real thin. If you lose one of those guys and 133 00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:25,080 Speaker 1: now all of a sudden, then where are you going 134 00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:27,920 Speaker 1: from there? You know? So with an Odell Beckham, not 135 00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:29,360 Speaker 1: only do I think it can help put you over 136 00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:32,360 Speaker 1: the top, but it also provide you insurance at going 137 00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:35,440 Speaker 1: into the season. Wide receivers arguably their their weakest position, 138 00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:39,240 Speaker 1: and I don't think it's changed tremendously since then. But 139 00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:41,279 Speaker 1: I will say that I do think Michael Gallup and 140 00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:43,480 Speaker 1: Cede Lamb are coming off the best game that they've 141 00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:47,080 Speaker 1: played together this season, and that's positive, but you know 142 00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:50,279 Speaker 1: injuries happened. So okay, all right, look overwhelming on the 143 00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:54,559 Speaker 1: past two media match shows. People guys want Odell Beckham 144 00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:57,080 Speaker 1: j So there you go. Hope it happens for you. 145 00:06:57,200 --> 00:07:01,039 Speaker 1: I don't think that anybody, are you not I I'm 146 00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:03,039 Speaker 1: just a host man. No, no, no, you got an opinion. 147 00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:06,320 Speaker 1: You had an opinion. You didn't like to well that's 148 00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:08,400 Speaker 1: what he compares this. You didn't like TiO. Let's talk 149 00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:10,760 Speaker 1: about it. Don't don't, don't rough, don't hide your heads, 150 00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:14,120 Speaker 1: don't throw a rocket out your heads. The problem with 151 00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:18,160 Speaker 1: the player, okay, we're talking about which player. We're talking about. 152 00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:21,200 Speaker 1: Owen's is always going to be the player. Okay, let's 153 00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:24,320 Speaker 1: talk about the Pushtom. Problem with the player was you 154 00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:27,160 Speaker 1: knew how it was going to end. It always ended 155 00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:29,400 Speaker 1: bad whenever the player came to town. Okay, we all 156 00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:31,600 Speaker 1: knew that you all gonna like it. For a minute, 157 00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:33,120 Speaker 1: this is gonna be wrong. Just like when I worked 158 00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:34,560 Speaker 1: in LA and I told people you don't want this 159 00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:37,760 Speaker 1: Robert Rob shot watch Rob. I say got gonna end good, 160 00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:41,880 Speaker 1: guys didn't end good. Um. My biggest concern with all 161 00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:44,720 Speaker 1: the Backham juniors the money you got dude, you've got 162 00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:46,840 Speaker 1: to pay. Around here, we've already mentioned Tony Poll. You're 163 00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:48,960 Speaker 1: gonna have Anthony Brown. Who's coming up. You're gonna have 164 00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:52,840 Speaker 1: digs who gotta get paid Anthony Brown. Stop it, you're starting. Stop. 165 00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:55,080 Speaker 1: We're not gonna not get Odell Beckham who worried about 166 00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:57,840 Speaker 1: Anthony Brown next year? Stop it? You sat like Shady 167 00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:02,200 Speaker 1: McCord right now. Okay, don't I don't come first. I 168 00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:05,000 Speaker 1: don't entertain watching any of that stuff. I don't know 169 00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:08,560 Speaker 1: what he's saying. You're not gonna not get Odell Beckham 170 00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:10,920 Speaker 1: because you're worried about paying Anthony Brown. That's a I 171 00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:13,920 Speaker 1: have mentioned names of free agent. No what you brought 172 00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:15,880 Speaker 1: up Anthony Brown. We're not gonna. We're not gonna stop 173 00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:20,360 Speaker 1: not get Odell Beckham Anthony Brown. Come on? You also 174 00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:24,080 Speaker 1: can't you ask CEO and Dennis Robin. That's a classic 175 00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:27,400 Speaker 1: Who who as you gotta play next year? You also 176 00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:29,760 Speaker 1: said it always ends poorly? I mean that was with 177 00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:31,920 Speaker 1: the player, the player. No, I talked about why I 178 00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:37,600 Speaker 1: did like the player. Okay, but no back he mentioned TiO, 179 00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:39,040 Speaker 1: So I went to the whole me and my t 180 00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:41,680 Speaker 1: O thing. Now my thing on Beckham. I'm just telling 181 00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:44,320 Speaker 1: you my concern is the multi colle How much money 182 00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:46,839 Speaker 1: do you want? That's it. I don't know what the 183 00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:51,360 Speaker 1: money is here. Now you're Stephen Jones, your cowboy. Yeah, 184 00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:54,520 Speaker 1: why did you just call him? Yeah? Seriously, I think 185 00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:57,040 Speaker 1: that's a big concern. If the money is clearly it's 186 00:08:57,040 --> 00:08:59,400 Speaker 1: always gonna be part of what the Cowboys and and 187 00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:02,560 Speaker 1: and so the fact if they do the deal, it 188 00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:05,760 Speaker 1: must be amenable to them. I'm involved in a financial 189 00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:11,280 Speaker 1: accounting class right now. So so so I'm what I 190 00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:13,680 Speaker 1: ask you, because we all know the Cowboys are gonna 191 00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:15,080 Speaker 1: do the deal of the name, if it's bad, if 192 00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:17,360 Speaker 1: it if it hurts them. That's how they've been operating 193 00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:20,200 Speaker 1: the fretzy. We can accept the fact that they're gonna 194 00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:22,280 Speaker 1: do a deal they think it's financially good for them. 195 00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:25,960 Speaker 1: So the question is if you get the finances right, 196 00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:30,320 Speaker 1: do you want him on the team? Does he help you? Yes? Yes? 197 00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:34,000 Speaker 1: But I worried about the medical though that's a part. Well, 198 00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:36,640 Speaker 1: I don't. I don't think this is an organization is 199 00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:38,840 Speaker 1: going to sign a deal with a guy we were 200 00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:40,880 Speaker 1: if he's honest. This in the Rangers getting Prince Field 201 00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:43,000 Speaker 1: or anybody checked to see if he was hurt. I saw. 202 00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:45,079 Speaker 1: I got an interview not too long ago with Ian 203 00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:48,959 Speaker 1: Report on that Pat McAfee show, and he was talking 204 00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:51,640 Speaker 1: about how I hadn't heard this before that you know, 205 00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:54,360 Speaker 1: this is the same need that Odell hurt injured two 206 00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:56,680 Speaker 1: years ago and had a half surgery on it, and 207 00:09:57,280 --> 00:10:00,640 Speaker 1: Ian Reports said that basically after that first snee surgery 208 00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:04,120 Speaker 1: had was done very poorly and had very bad results. 209 00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:07,520 Speaker 1: So when they just went in the second time, most 210 00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:10,559 Speaker 1: recently to fix it, I guess they believe that it's 211 00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:12,360 Speaker 1: going to add years on to his career because they 212 00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:14,160 Speaker 1: did so much of a better job than they did 213 00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:17,120 Speaker 1: that first time. So believe take that with what you will. 214 00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:19,680 Speaker 1: But doctor Raps, I just will say it just isn't. 215 00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:21,160 Speaker 1: I don't think he's just gonna come out with this 216 00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:24,280 Speaker 1: without someone telling him that maybe the person didn't do 217 00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:26,040 Speaker 1: a good job the first time. I don't know. I 218 00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:29,240 Speaker 1: don't know who the surgeon was, but I think they 219 00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:31,440 Speaker 1: just talking to everybody around him. They think he's a 220 00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:33,200 Speaker 1: hard work and he's gonna work back to get that 221 00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:35,600 Speaker 1: knee right now, clearly, Britt and the doctor's gonna look 222 00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:38,959 Speaker 1: at that knee. But to me, it's the knee is 223 00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:41,559 Speaker 1: the issue, just from my sources talking to people. You know, 224 00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:43,520 Speaker 1: I know the contenders are the giants in the Buffalo 225 00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:46,680 Speaker 1: and he has a friendship with von Miller, but he 226 00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:50,560 Speaker 1: doesn't want to play in the cold. And why would 227 00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:52,080 Speaker 1: you want to play in that turf of New York 228 00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:55,520 Speaker 1: which lost you're coming off to ACLS was lost two 229 00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:59,360 Speaker 1: receivers this year to a cl injuries. So if the money, 230 00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:02,040 Speaker 1: I mean Donald to leave the those team favorite of 231 00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:05,880 Speaker 1: the money. And that's that's the other question that Daniel 232 00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:08,960 Speaker 1: Jones we talked about, thank you on the last show. 233 00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:11,880 Speaker 1: What's the number? By the way, you're talking about a 234 00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:14,840 Speaker 1: multi your contract and what's the number? I use Michael 235 00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:17,160 Speaker 1: Gallup as as a as a ceiling. Yeah, how do 236 00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:19,559 Speaker 1: you feel about that? That that you're saying? Okay, Michael Gallops, 237 00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:22,600 Speaker 1: you're averaging eleven and a half million dollars um Odell 238 00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:24,679 Speaker 1: Beckham Junior. If I'm him in his age, I walk 239 00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:27,360 Speaker 1: into Odell Beckham June's a better player, got a Beziret, 240 00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:30,000 Speaker 1: better resume. We want more money though there though, so 241 00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:32,480 Speaker 1: but I'm just saying that's what I'm coming in with 242 00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:36,280 Speaker 1: as a negotiation tax, so base at least at least 243 00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:38,840 Speaker 1: twelve million dollars or twelve to fifteen million dollars. What's 244 00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:40,560 Speaker 1: your comfort level on a multiyear deal for that For 245 00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:44,200 Speaker 1: Odell Beckham Junior, that's tough right now because I really 246 00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:45,600 Speaker 1: would like to know what he does for the rest 247 00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:46,960 Speaker 1: of the sea, which I by the way, I thought 248 00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:49,240 Speaker 1: it was very interesting how much Jerry hammered home yesterday 249 00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:51,560 Speaker 1: that they need him for this season. He's not interested 250 00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:54,120 Speaker 1: in this deal for next year. It's about this year, 251 00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:56,800 Speaker 1: so that factors in. But there is risk involved with 252 00:11:56,800 --> 00:11:59,480 Speaker 1: what you're saying, because you give that deal, he gets 253 00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:01,720 Speaker 1: out there and he just isn't. He's okay, we'll say, 254 00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:03,280 Speaker 1: but he's not at the level that you think and 255 00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:04,840 Speaker 1: then all of a sudden, I don't know. I'm not 256 00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:06,840 Speaker 1: good at the whole background on the contracts and how 257 00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:08,960 Speaker 1: it's all structured. But there has to be some type 258 00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:11,760 Speaker 1: of protections put in there to kind of to cover 259 00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:14,439 Speaker 1: you in case he isn't that guy, so that you're 260 00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:16,760 Speaker 1: not giving him Michael Gallup money next year. I feel 261 00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:19,920 Speaker 1: like this is like a sandwich, like like you're right, Gallup, 262 00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:23,400 Speaker 1: whatever you know, eleven million coming off an injury. Here 263 00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:27,079 Speaker 1: comes Beckham coming off an injury, better player, more accomplished, 264 00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:31,079 Speaker 1: so he wants more than that, and then whatever that's 265 00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:34,040 Speaker 1: gonna be. Then CD comes in and says, okay, well, 266 00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:36,839 Speaker 1: whatever you give him, this is our floor here, because 267 00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:39,080 Speaker 1: when now it's time for us to negotiate, even though 268 00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:42,240 Speaker 1: you said you'd wait two years, why don't we do 269 00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:44,959 Speaker 1: it now? You know, because I've got the number one receiver. 270 00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:46,319 Speaker 1: This is what his agent's gotta say. I got the 271 00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:49,600 Speaker 1: number one receiver. So Beckham's gonna like slide in and 272 00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:51,959 Speaker 1: then that just immediately starts the process for for CD. 273 00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:55,360 Speaker 1: So now you see what in terms I have in 274 00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:57,840 Speaker 1: terms of my pause. Yeah, you start talking about the 275 00:12:57,880 --> 00:13:00,800 Speaker 1: financials of this, there is my big concern. My concern 276 00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:03,760 Speaker 1: is not him as a player, that's not It is 277 00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:05,640 Speaker 1: the financials of what this is. If this is a 278 00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:07,800 Speaker 1: one year deal, this is an easy thing. Hey man, 279 00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:09,920 Speaker 1: let's write check. Come on which which one? Go ahead 280 00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:12,120 Speaker 1: and write the check. But because he wants a multi 281 00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:14,680 Speaker 1: year deal, that's where I have the pause. Clarence Hill, 282 00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:17,480 Speaker 1: and you need him multi year Let's be honest. I mean, 283 00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:21,440 Speaker 1: if you win, you want to keep this thing going. 284 00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:26,200 Speaker 1: And and and I love the week like our guys stuff, 285 00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:29,400 Speaker 1: but I like guys that are productive and proven. And 286 00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:32,760 Speaker 1: you know, run it back. You know, you're running back 287 00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:34,920 Speaker 1: with oldeal, You're running back with CD. You know it 288 00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:38,640 Speaker 1: just it it continues that window. We always talking about 289 00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:42,439 Speaker 1: windows and everything else. So if he's and the thing is, 290 00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:44,200 Speaker 1: you have to trust that they're gonna do the medical. 291 00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:46,120 Speaker 1: They're gonna look at it. You got they got great. 292 00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:49,320 Speaker 1: I'm gonna I am once they do. If they they're 293 00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:51,320 Speaker 1: not giving multi year deal if the medical does not 294 00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:55,000 Speaker 1: align with that, So I have no problem. I trust 295 00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:58,000 Speaker 1: that medically, if they do all that, they're gonna be 296 00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:00,640 Speaker 1: comfortable with that. And I'm fine to take the amble because, 297 00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:03,280 Speaker 1: like I said, it's the biggest position of need. If 298 00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:06,000 Speaker 1: he was a top edge rusher coming back from knee injury, 299 00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:07,440 Speaker 1: you kind of looking at this roster like do we 300 00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:09,720 Speaker 1: really need this? But it could put us over the top, 301 00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:12,880 Speaker 1: like a von Miller type thing. But they need another 302 00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:16,000 Speaker 1: receiver and he is just clearly the best thing that 303 00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:19,560 Speaker 1: they could potentially add to this roster. Good conversation, A lot, 304 00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:22,160 Speaker 1: there's a lot to think about in this A lot 305 00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:24,040 Speaker 1: to think about in this. But I do believe from 306 00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:27,920 Speaker 1: all indications that if Jerry Jones is the last guy 307 00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:30,680 Speaker 1: in the room with the ability to talk to Odell 308 00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:34,520 Speaker 1: Beckham Junior about becoming a Dallas Cowboy, I just I 309 00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:36,920 Speaker 1: find it very hard to believe that John Mara or 310 00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:39,240 Speaker 1: the Pagoulas are going to be able to or even 311 00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:42,120 Speaker 1: the Hunts will be able to fight to do that. 312 00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:46,640 Speaker 1: I mean, it's just me and I agree, and the 313 00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:48,520 Speaker 1: Star and all of the stuff that he talked about 314 00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:51,880 Speaker 1: on the radio, ya straight matters. But there are teams 315 00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:57,000 Speaker 1: that have outbid the Cowboys recently. For whether you're talking 316 00:14:57,000 --> 00:14:58,960 Speaker 1: about Mary Cooper, he get more money off a room 317 00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:02,720 Speaker 1: by Washington, Sammy, Okay, look at the Vine Miller deal. 318 00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:05,760 Speaker 1: I mean, but they don't care what they didn't They didn't, 319 00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:07,480 Speaker 1: But I'm just saying, you look at forget even the 320 00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:09,920 Speaker 1: cowboys in that. Look at the money that that buffalo 321 00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:12,040 Speaker 1: gave Vin Miller. That just blew everybody out of the water. 322 00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:13,760 Speaker 1: We're just saying, well, of course he's gonna go there. 323 00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:15,840 Speaker 1: If there is a team that does that, you know, 324 00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:17,480 Speaker 1: I mean, we don't know that that doesn't happen. But 325 00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:19,280 Speaker 1: if there's a buffalo, New York just offers this a 326 00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:21,800 Speaker 1: ridiculous amount. There will be there will be a line 327 00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:24,320 Speaker 1: that Jerry won't cross. It isn't gonna be. Hey, we're 328 00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:26,280 Speaker 1: the last guy.

Got deadline, sir, What 378 00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:13,920 Speaker 1: are you writing about? Cowboys? Oh, they'll be a little 379 00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:17,240 Speaker 1: bit more specific, Actually I will, I will be more specific. 380 00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:20,000 Speaker 1: I am writing about the Cowboys have a chance to 381 00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:25,520 Speaker 1: sweep this three games stretch and go into the Christmas 382 00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:28,080 Speaker 1: Eve battle against the Eagles on a role running with 383 00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:31,640 Speaker 1: five straight wins in seven or last eight. If they 384 00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:34,120 Speaker 1: get out of their own way and not have these 385 00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:37,639 Speaker 1: penalties and turnovers, there should be an easy stretch with 386 00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:40,800 Speaker 1: the coach, the Texas and the Jaguars. But the Cowboys 387 00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:46,400 Speaker 1: biggest enemy is themselves with these penalties and untimed penalties internals. 388 00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:48,480 Speaker 1: We talked about that all on the previous show, so 389 00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:50,800 Speaker 1: thank you for listening. So we called it. We called 390 00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:53,880 Speaker 1: the AFC Classic by the way you want to call it? Yeah, 391 00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:56,359 Speaker 1: But then they got the AFC South Classic by the way, 392 00:18:56,400 --> 00:18:58,080 Speaker 1: how do you want to call it? But they need to, Yeah, 393 00:18:58,119 --> 00:19:00,320 Speaker 1: they need to. And we talked to Dac about that today. 394 00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:02,840 Speaker 1: You know. He talked about the things they're doing, uh, 395 00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:06,040 Speaker 1: to focus better, to fix the penalty column, each other out, 396 00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:08,919 Speaker 1: doing different things like that. So yeah, okay, if I 397 00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:11,200 Speaker 1: told you though, they could do that, back to work 398 00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:16,399 Speaker 1: this ship. He breaks, he's I'm I know, I don't know. 399 00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:20,760 Speaker 1: I didn't, No, I was. This is one of the 400 00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:23,640 Speaker 1: rare opportunities you're gonna get to talk and claims not interrupted, 401 00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:25,359 Speaker 1: So I want you to take advanta. I just wonder. 402 00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:28,280 Speaker 1: I just wonder though, if what if they do continue 403 00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:30,920 Speaker 1: the penalty thing and still win those games. That's what 404 00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:33,679 Speaker 1: the that's the crazy. That's the crazy thing about the 405 00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:35,600 Speaker 1: Giants game, which my McCarthy try to point out, but 406 00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:40,080 Speaker 1: it's really about how do you get better postseason? Because 407 00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:43,600 Speaker 1: they had a season thirteen penalty They had two interceptions. 408 00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:45,719 Speaker 1: I mean the Giants touchdown to I mean they just 409 00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:48,240 Speaker 1: gave it to him with with penalties. This game was 410 00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:50,359 Speaker 1: should have been a blowout for you betting people that 411 00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:52,119 Speaker 1: didn't cover the spread. You know it's because of the 412 00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:53,680 Speaker 1: cow wasn' out on penalties. I don't know who does 413 00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:55,240 Speaker 1: that sort of thing. Now, let me ask him this 414 00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:57,280 Speaker 1: real quickly. Okay, we did this yesterday. Give me the 415 00:19:57,359 --> 00:19:59,280 Speaker 1: who are the top three guys and penalties? And the 416 00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:03,880 Speaker 1: cow cow this year? Definitely I'm sorry number one? Okay, 417 00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:07,119 Speaker 1: but who's two and three? Ones on offense? Ones on defense? 418 00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:12,960 Speaker 1: Is Dicks is up? There is no it's not. Well, 419 00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:21,720 Speaker 1: you got Sarence Steele number three? Five penalties, Kelvin Joseph. 420 00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:23,520 Speaker 1: I never would have thought that he was in that 421 00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:27,920 Speaker 1: in the draft. What are you doing? The spotter? He's 422 00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:33,720 Speaker 1: the spotter? Is that what he? I just wouldn't have expected. Uh. 423 00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:36,280 Speaker 1: We mentioned hender shot yesterday. I think he's he's in 424 00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:39,240 Speaker 1: the mix, but like four, Yeah, I don't know. I 425 00:20:39,240 --> 00:20:41,000 Speaker 1: just say it's one of those things where like not people, Yeah, 426 00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:43,679 Speaker 1: second he got one, right, he doesn't he or had 427 00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:45,679 Speaker 1: a holding building and yeah, you know that's really going 428 00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:49,119 Speaker 1: to mess up his stat the Pro Bowl versus holding 429 00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:52,480 Speaker 1: filmdings in his career, right, can you get it rescinded? 430 00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:55,679 Speaker 1: The one that the one that is the most surprising Clarence. 431 00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:57,359 Speaker 1: I know you've been asking some of the players about it, 432 00:20:57,400 --> 00:20:59,480 Speaker 1: but it is really the idea of how do you 433 00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:02,119 Speaker 1: not commit any of these penalties? And probably the loudest 434 00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:04,680 Speaker 1: state of me you'll play in in Minnesota. You come 435 00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:07,400 Speaker 1: back home and then you're having these presnap palt That's 436 00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:09,199 Speaker 1: the ones that I just you can't even understand how 437 00:21:09,240 --> 00:21:12,120 Speaker 1: that how that would happen. All of Terrence Steels, I 438 00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:14,560 Speaker 1: think all of his presnap penalties have been at home. 439 00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:16,760 Speaker 1: Member he had four in that first game against the Bucks. 440 00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:20,639 Speaker 1: I wonder why that is. I don't know, because you 441 00:21:20,640 --> 00:21:22,199 Speaker 1: would think, like, Okay, you're still going to commit some 442 00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:24,400 Speaker 1: at home, but why aren't those doubling on the road 443 00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:27,199 Speaker 1: when there is noise and you can't hear and you know, 444 00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:29,240 Speaker 1: there's your story for tomorrow when you go in locker 445 00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:30,520 Speaker 1: room and check in with steel Man and you just 446 00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:34,560 Speaker 1: start asking what's there's there's a lot more. Again, I 447 00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:37,080 Speaker 1: don't know why this is. There's a lot more pre 448 00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:40,280 Speaker 1: snap penalties with Dak as the quarterback than Cooper Rush. 449 00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:42,119 Speaker 1: I don't know why. Oh, I could see it. I 450 00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:44,800 Speaker 1: could see possibly with him. He he's definitely changed the 451 00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:49,360 Speaker 1: last stuff for first game, there was a lot. Yeah, 452 00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:52,240 Speaker 1: we didn't see it for a few weeks. Obviously, it 453 00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:54,080 Speaker 1: seemed like those last two games. O. There has been 454 00:21:54,119 --> 00:21:56,840 Speaker 1: a lot of Dak going up to the line. And 455 00:21:56,880 --> 00:21:58,200 Speaker 1: I don't even know if it's necessarily it could be 456 00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:00,240 Speaker 1: some of the Omaha Payton Manning stuff. You don't you know, 457 00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:02,320 Speaker 1: you don't know that necessarily everything's changing, But he's doing 458 00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:03,800 Speaker 1: it a lot. I'm fine with that because you know, 459 00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:06,359 Speaker 1: what else is happening is he's getting getting the past 460 00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:08,600 Speaker 1: rushers off his back and spending out a year and 461 00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:10,800 Speaker 1: running and making throws on the run, even running the 462 00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:12,960 Speaker 1: ball a little bit more being Dak against it that 463 00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:15,440 Speaker 1: means being Dak. I'm fine with. Probably. I think that 464 00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:18,960 Speaker 1: it's it's kind of happistas has happened more with Deck 465 00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:23,680 Speaker 1: because I think I'm with Mike McCarthy. They're playing faster. Yeah, 466 00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:25,760 Speaker 1: so it's not necessarily they don't know Deck's voice. I 467 00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:28,480 Speaker 1: mean that's been their quarterback forever, you know, only that 468 00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:31,120 Speaker 1: Cooper five day where they don't forgot DA's voice. It's 469 00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:35,359 Speaker 1: more about them playing faster. They're more excited, like like 470 00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:37,000 Speaker 1: the CD Lamb played the gold Line. I mean, how 471 00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:39,040 Speaker 1: do you spend you know against the jizz but he 472 00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:41,520 Speaker 1: got got the false start. They're excited to get these 473 00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:44,240 Speaker 1: players going and playing fasters. Mike McCarthy said, last night 474 00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:46,760 Speaker 1: we got more volume and you know you're you're last 475 00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:48,920 Speaker 1: week he said, you know they're more voluable, players are 476 00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:51,080 Speaker 1: doing more things than the lives. We'll just cause not 477 00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:55,480 Speaker 1: necessarily because Dak's voice is different than Cooper Rushes. Oh yeah, 478 00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:57,520 Speaker 1: I don't know about the voice different because they talked 479 00:22:57,520 --> 00:22:59,880 Speaker 1: about the cadence and when you think Katie, think about 480 00:22:59,880 --> 00:23:02,360 Speaker 1: the it's calling the plays. It's different. It's really not 481 00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:05,159 Speaker 1: that now, you know, we were an interesting again. We 482 00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:06,960 Speaker 1: were talking to Deck today. He were talking about the 483 00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:12,920 Speaker 1: one Tyler head on against the Giants and the call 484 00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:17,000 Speaker 1: is something white, and he said what or something. He 485 00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:22,639 Speaker 1: said something about the Giants alignment, and Terrence jumped and 486 00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:25,920 Speaker 1: took two steps and so he misunderstood what he was saying. 487 00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:33,520 Speaker 1: So ten days off getting ready for the Colts, Cowboys 488 00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:35,760 Speaker 1: came up by Mike McCarthy. Had a really good record. 489 00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:38,960 Speaker 1: They go to Green Bay, they lose. So how and 490 00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:42,160 Speaker 1: what should we expect from this team? Sunday night at 491 00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:44,879 Speaker 1: Jerry World on NBC against the Colts, Jem showed him. 492 00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:47,800 Speaker 1: I think you should expect a well rested team that 493 00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:50,159 Speaker 1: should be able to do anything that they want against 494 00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:52,520 Speaker 1: a team that's coming in there on very short rests, 495 00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:54,480 Speaker 1: that isn't very good, that's not playing with a lot 496 00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:58,400 Speaker 1: of confidence. You're you're playing out a coach from the booth, right, 497 00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:01,280 Speaker 1: You're playing a team that you probably only need to 498 00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:04,240 Speaker 1: play your C plus game to beat them. Of course 499 00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:06,199 Speaker 1: the players aren't talking about that. You know. Mike had 500 00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:07,919 Speaker 1: an interesting quote. I thought his best quote today was 501 00:24:07,920 --> 00:24:10,280 Speaker 1: when he talked about how people play the Cowboys differently. 502 00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:13,320 Speaker 1: I remember there's I don't know if it was Micah 503 00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:14,960 Speaker 1: or yeah, I think it was Mike. Earlier in the 504 00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:19,040 Speaker 1: year talking about how watching a team that they played 505 00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:21,600 Speaker 1: all week on tape. Get out there on the field. 506 00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:23,479 Speaker 1: The team does nothing that they that they had been 507 00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:25,760 Speaker 1: showing on tape at all. So there is a little 508 00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:28,720 Speaker 1: bit of uncertainty. It's not a you know, common opponent whatnot. 509 00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:31,359 Speaker 1: I just I keep going back to the whole Matt Ryan. 510 00:24:31,560 --> 00:24:33,080 Speaker 1: Last year, there was a lot of talk all this 511 00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:35,360 Speaker 1: is Dan Quinn, you know, going up against Matt Ryan, 512 00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:37,159 Speaker 1: and it was just that mean, they blew the Falcons 513 00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:38,960 Speaker 1: out of the building. I don't I just don't think 514 00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:40,360 Speaker 1: that they have to play their best game to still 515 00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:43,720 Speaker 1: win this or win this game. But of course the 516 00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:46,720 Speaker 1: players aren't talking about that. Yeah, for me, when anytime 517 00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:50,119 Speaker 1: you look at one team's weakness against another team's strength, 518 00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:52,280 Speaker 1: you know that's gonna be a problem. And I think 519 00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:55,280 Speaker 1: the Cults lead the league in sacks allowed, Cowboys lead 520 00:24:55,359 --> 00:24:59,399 Speaker 1: the league in sacks on the quarterback, and so you know, 521 00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:01,159 Speaker 1: it's just not a good recipe or a team that 522 00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:03,240 Speaker 1: that's had ten days off and then the team that's 523 00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:05,880 Speaker 1: had five days off. I mean they're coming out playing 524 00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:08,720 Speaker 1: and then the Cowboys get get out of their own way. 525 00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:10,640 Speaker 1: I mean it's like the Cowboys had all that time 526 00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:14,760 Speaker 1: off before the Packers game, right, yeah, right for the 527 00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:17,200 Speaker 1: Packers game. Yeah yeah. And by week and the Packers 528 00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:19,560 Speaker 1: can't stop the run. Yeah, we get the Cowboy didn't 529 00:25:19,640 --> 00:25:20,879 Speaker 1: run the ball as much as they should. I mean 530 00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:23,080 Speaker 1: the Packers still ain't stop to run. I mean everybody's 531 00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:25,400 Speaker 1: running against the Packers. It's like the Eagles running against 532 00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:28,040 Speaker 1: the Packers at the Cowboys. You know, like like like 533 00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:30,200 Speaker 1: Jeff Sarah to keep no timehouse in the pocket. Why 534 00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:32,359 Speaker 1: are we keeping running plays in our pocket against the 535 00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:34,359 Speaker 1: team the kay stop to run. So what I'm saying 536 00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:37,480 Speaker 1: is that I've always fought no situations, especially recently when 537 00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:39,920 Speaker 1: Dak's coming back on these injuries, I feel like they 538 00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:41,639 Speaker 1: try and do things to get him back into a 539 00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:43,520 Speaker 1: rhythm and get back get the offense back into a 540 00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:45,240 Speaker 1: rhythm and play with him, because I expect them to 541 00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:47,000 Speaker 1: start try and start fast against the Colts like they 542 00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:49,160 Speaker 1: did against the Giants. It didn't work out and ended 543 00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:52,040 Speaker 1: up being and ended up being you know, there's there's turnovers, 544 00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:53,320 Speaker 1: things like that. But I feel like they were trying 545 00:25:53,320 --> 00:25:55,040 Speaker 1: to get him back and more of a rhythm, and 546 00:25:55,240 --> 00:25:57,000 Speaker 1: he looks like he's in that rhythm. I don't see 547 00:25:57,000 --> 00:25:58,960 Speaker 1: why you have to force that stuff. Now, I think 548 00:25:59,119 --> 00:26:00,720 Speaker 1: if you got to run the ball fifty times, to 549 00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:02,520 Speaker 1: run the ball fifty times right, and and to me 550 00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:05,399 Speaker 1: it's also the flips out on the coats and the 551 00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:08,120 Speaker 1: coach know that they can't block the passer and they 552 00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:11,440 Speaker 1: can't block, but will they be stubborn with the run 553 00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:13,959 Speaker 1: like the Packers, which I don't think Minnesota was stubborn 554 00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:17,120 Speaker 1: enough against with the run offensively. And sometimes you think, 555 00:26:17,119 --> 00:26:18,800 Speaker 1: I need to do all these other things off set 556 00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:20,840 Speaker 1: to them. So the only way they have to run 557 00:26:20,920 --> 00:26:23,160 Speaker 1: Johnathan Taylor and the cow was to stop Johnathan Taylor 558 00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:26,800 Speaker 1: and then don't make those mistakes because the indie tight 559 00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:29,080 Speaker 1: it is pretty good. You saw he could make some 560 00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:31,440 Speaker 1: plays and and and the quarterbacks are making plays to 561 00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:33,640 Speaker 1: give him time. But you need to stop the run 562 00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:36,040 Speaker 1: first for the for the Colts to win this game, 563 00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:40,560 Speaker 1: the Cowboys would have to have uncharacteristic offensive turnovers Zeke fumball, 564 00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:42,240 Speaker 1: Pollard fumble, things that we were just like, what is 565 00:26:42,240 --> 00:26:44,360 Speaker 1: going on here? Let's say Cavante Turpin on a punt return, 566 00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:45,960 Speaker 1: fumball or something like that. They they're gonna have to 567 00:26:45,960 --> 00:26:47,240 Speaker 1: turn the ball orf they take care of the ball. 568 00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:49,680 Speaker 1: They'll beat the Colts, and they should beat the coach, 569 00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:52,320 Speaker 1: the Texas and the Jaguars if they take care of 570 00:26:52,320 --> 00:26:53,960 Speaker 1: the ball and don't are you trying to pull vault 571 00:26:54,040 --> 00:26:58,880 Speaker 1: this season? The AFC South Classic. Maybe he's looking, he's 572 00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:01,640 Speaker 1: looking to Christmas Eve. Yeah, he's he's a ready lip. 573 00:27:01,840 --> 00:27:05,600 Speaker 1: Who is the NBC's everybody's talking about Christmas Eve? Talking 574 00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:08,600 Speaker 1: about Christmas Eve? The show Down with the Eagles, show 575 00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:12,800 Speaker 1: But but but hold on, isn't this seems kind of 576 00:27:12,840 --> 00:27:15,919 Speaker 1: hypocritical though, if they get out of their own way 577 00:27:16,119 --> 00:27:19,920 Speaker 1: and don't make mental mistakes. But they can win three 578 00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:21,880 Speaker 1: games in a row. But you can't beat the Texans 579 00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:24,040 Speaker 1: next Sunday night. You can't beat the Jaguars either. You 580 00:27:24,040 --> 00:27:25,640 Speaker 1: can only beat the Colts. I'm not trying to sound 581 00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:29,560 Speaker 1: like a coach, sound like okay, but but like a 582 00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:32,320 Speaker 1: hypocrite because you you want them to focus and not 583 00:27:32,520 --> 00:27:34,119 Speaker 1: get out of your own way and so you can 584 00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:36,680 Speaker 1: win three straight games. I do want them to focus, 585 00:27:36,680 --> 00:27:38,280 Speaker 1: but I can talk about the big picture. It's not 586 00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:40,720 Speaker 1: my job. I don't have to compartmentalize and talking about 587 00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:44,400 Speaker 1: we're gonna be one and old this week. But I'm 588 00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:46,800 Speaker 1: talking about the big picture. From a media standpoint, Yeah, 589 00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:49,160 Speaker 1: from from from your standpoint, they don't need to play 590 00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:52,200 Speaker 1: their best to win the next three season standpoint from 591 00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:56,320 Speaker 1: everything from it, again, we have the benefit look at 592 00:27:56,320 --> 00:27:58,679 Speaker 1: the big picture, you understanding what each game means as 593 00:27:58,680 --> 00:28:01,680 Speaker 1: a lates to the season come up. It's not just 594 00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:04,280 Speaker 1: about the coach and the texts the more it's about 595 00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:06,680 Speaker 1: this team getting on a role to make a Super 596 00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:09,200 Speaker 1: Bowl run, possibly catch the Eagles and the NFC e's. 597 00:28:09,359 --> 00:28:10,800 Speaker 1: So I can look at all of that. You can 598 00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:13,560 Speaker 1: do that wins, Yeah, I can do all that. I 599 00:28:13,560 --> 00:28:15,840 Speaker 1: don't say, you know, I don't you know. Yeah, I 600 00:28:15,920 --> 00:28:18,359 Speaker 1: can't stack two at a time. Yeah no, but they can't. 601 00:28:18,520 --> 00:28:21,080 Speaker 1: I can't. If you're coaching the team, you're not talking 602 00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:24,520 Speaker 1: like that obviously, But from our perspective covering the team, 603 00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:27,000 Speaker 1: I just look at it as this, like, yeah, I 604 00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:29,000 Speaker 1: think that they can commit thirteen penalties and still win 605 00:28:29,080 --> 00:28:31,040 Speaker 1: these next three games. But the problem is that you 606 00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:33,800 Speaker 1: don't want to keep doing that because thirteen penalties you're 607 00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:36,560 Speaker 1: not being right. That's what got you knocked out the playoffs. 608 00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:40,000 Speaker 1: Interceptions from half time against because at the end of 609 00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:42,560 Speaker 1: the day, Nick and we I've been runding a long time. 610 00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:44,920 Speaker 1: You have, Okay, you've been running along with though, so 611 00:28:45,320 --> 00:28:47,720 Speaker 1: that none of this matters if you go out and 612 00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:51,479 Speaker 1: lose in the first round. Okay, So I can win 613 00:28:51,640 --> 00:28:53,680 Speaker 1: one at a time. We could talk about the winners 614 00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:56,240 Speaker 1: schedule and we're getting our bodies right and all the 615 00:28:56,240 --> 00:28:58,920 Speaker 1: other stuff. They got their bodies right last year, they 616 00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:01,160 Speaker 1: were healthy, got to the play out. Last year they 617 00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:04,600 Speaker 1: laid a freaking egg. They moved Mike McCarthy's press conference 618 00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:06,520 Speaker 1: back at half hour because of the schedule. So how 619 00:29:06,560 --> 00:29:09,400 Speaker 1: is your body feeling that. I'm just saying, no, none 620 00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:16,000 Speaker 1: of this matter, So and and Nick, we're always looking 621 00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:18,120 Speaker 1: at the big picture. I know. I mean, it's it's 622 00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:21,120 Speaker 1: our job. Can they win a freaking super Bowl? That's 623 00:29:21,120 --> 00:29:23,040 Speaker 1: the only thing that matters. You can say, yeah, they 624 00:29:23,120 --> 00:29:25,440 Speaker 1: gotta get do this preset going to training camp. Can 625 00:29:25,440 --> 00:29:27,960 Speaker 1: the Cowboys win the super Bowl? Finally after all these years? 626 00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:29,880 Speaker 1: Can they win the Super Bowl Game one? Yeah? Can 627 00:29:29,880 --> 00:29:31,360 Speaker 1: they win the Super Bowl? But all of this is 628 00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:34,400 Speaker 1: can they It's all about the Super Bowl. If I'm 629 00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:36,360 Speaker 1: different than you on when it comes to that, I'm 630 00:29:36,360 --> 00:29:38,920 Speaker 1: just going to be different. That's fine because but there's 631 00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:42,840 Speaker 1: no successful season in Dallas. It would not be a 632 00:29:42,840 --> 00:29:45,800 Speaker 1: successful season if they get to the playoffs and losing 633 00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:48,240 Speaker 1: the first round. He just had super Bowl six times. 634 00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:52,959 Speaker 1: I'm just saying that that's what that's what matters. They 635 00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:58,960 Speaker 1: don't hang division title battles of atnt s taitium. The 636 00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:05,000 Speaker 1: ain't any battles a stadium because they want nothing. Are different. 637 00:30:05,160 --> 00:30:07,960 Speaker 1: We always have been. And I don't agree with that, 638 00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:10,080 Speaker 1: and you don't agree with what I don't. I don't 639 00:30:10,120 --> 00:30:12,560 Speaker 1: agree with that mentality. And I do a podcast every 640 00:30:12,640 --> 00:30:15,640 Speaker 1: day with people that agree with what you Why you 641 00:30:15,720 --> 00:30:17,600 Speaker 1: don't think that that that that the super Bowl is 642 00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:20,760 Speaker 1: ultimate goal and it should be. It's only judgment here. 643 00:30:21,080 --> 00:30:23,040 Speaker 1: I'm not saying it's not the ultimate goal, but I 644 00:30:23,120 --> 00:30:26,080 Speaker 1: don't do this in late November and December. I don't 645 00:30:26,120 --> 00:30:30,040 Speaker 1: say nice win forty to three win, But it doesn't 646 00:30:30,040 --> 00:30:31,960 Speaker 1: matter if you don't win. No, I live in the moment. 647 00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:33,479 Speaker 1: I live in the moment because I've been doing this 648 00:30:33,600 --> 00:30:37,800 Speaker 1: long enough. I'm not going to to go up. My 649 00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:39,960 Speaker 1: point is and when I look at this, like I 650 00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:41,680 Speaker 1: look at my college team. When I look at and 651 00:30:41,720 --> 00:30:43,800 Speaker 1: I watched and we were both into our college team. 652 00:30:44,040 --> 00:30:46,600 Speaker 1: So we watched blowouts, Okay, watched end the game because 653 00:30:46,600 --> 00:30:48,680 Speaker 1: I want to see HW relations down to season. So 654 00:30:48,920 --> 00:30:50,440 Speaker 1: I'm not saying it's all about the super Bowl, but 655 00:30:50,560 --> 00:30:53,840 Speaker 1: how they play, you're putting a picture together of whether 656 00:30:53,880 --> 00:30:57,680 Speaker 1: this team can ultimately win it all. So all these things, yes, 657 00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:00,400 Speaker 1: you do it week by week, but you're still building 658 00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:04,520 Speaker 1: a picture. Like last year going to the playoffs, twelve 659 00:31:04,520 --> 00:31:08,080 Speaker 1: and five look good. That picture was ugly. Yeah, I 660 00:31:08,120 --> 00:31:10,160 Speaker 1: don't care. You had those blow out wins against Eagles. 661 00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:13,480 Speaker 1: That picture was ugly. Ever since that that that Denver game, 662 00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:16,360 Speaker 1: there was no confidence that anybody had that this team 663 00:31:16,400 --> 00:31:18,960 Speaker 1: could make your run even though there were twelve and five. Well, 664 00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:20,680 Speaker 1: they're beating bad teams. I wonder if you feel that 665 00:31:20,760 --> 00:31:22,400 Speaker 1: same exact way if you were just a fan and 666 00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:24,560 Speaker 1: you didn't have this job, Because I feel like with 667 00:31:24,640 --> 00:31:27,280 Speaker 1: this job, every week, you also you're not just focusing 668 00:31:27,280 --> 00:31:29,640 Speaker 1: on the team. You're content. You got to do stuff 669 00:31:29,640 --> 00:31:31,000 Speaker 1: for the website, you gotta do the pike, you know, 670 00:31:31,080 --> 00:31:32,880 Speaker 1: like you can't look at you. We have to focus 671 00:31:32,920 --> 00:31:35,080 Speaker 1: on week to week more so than maybe because I 672 00:31:35,120 --> 00:31:36,760 Speaker 1: do think a lot of fans are where Clarence is 673 00:31:36,760 --> 00:31:39,040 Speaker 1: We're just like, all right, cool, let's get to the playoffs. 674 00:31:39,120 --> 00:31:40,800 Speaker 1: Let's see if this team is better than that one 675 00:31:40,880 --> 00:31:42,520 Speaker 1: last year that lost to the four Nayrors. We know 676 00:31:42,560 --> 00:31:44,800 Speaker 1: what's good. This seems is gonna win double digit games 677 00:31:44,800 --> 00:31:46,760 Speaker 1: back to back season, first time since nineteen ninety six. 678 00:31:46,800 --> 00:31:48,760 Speaker 1: But let's see what they can finally do. I just 679 00:31:48,880 --> 00:31:50,800 Speaker 1: in the playoffs, and I get it, and there are 680 00:31:50,840 --> 00:31:52,800 Speaker 1: a ton of fans that way. I just think you're missing, 681 00:31:52,840 --> 00:31:54,719 Speaker 1: You're missing the ride, and you're just waiting till the end, 682 00:31:54,760 --> 00:31:57,160 Speaker 1: and you're you're I don't, I just don't. It's not 683 00:31:57,200 --> 00:31:58,880 Speaker 1: a job and Georgia Ride. I guess what I'm saying. 684 00:31:58,960 --> 00:32:01,320 Speaker 1: It's from a journalist standpoint, it's not about joining the ride, 685 00:32:01,600 --> 00:32:04,640 Speaker 1: you know, you know, I mean, I mean, it's not 686 00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:07,000 Speaker 1: about the journey because it's not my journey. Well, fans 687 00:32:07,360 --> 00:32:09,800 Speaker 1: and dictating the journey, I'm kind of putting the journey. 688 00:32:10,080 --> 00:32:12,960 Speaker 1: But but you know, and it's part of your journey. 689 00:32:12,960 --> 00:32:15,959 Speaker 1: You're associated with cowboys. I don't know, and I dictate 690 00:32:16,040 --> 00:32:18,640 Speaker 1: that conically, But it's not about me enjoying it. Yeah, 691 00:32:18,680 --> 00:32:22,000 Speaker 1: but you are. I enjoyed life. Yeah, you're enjoying this 692 00:32:22,040 --> 00:32:25,720 Speaker 1: season I love love life. I'm a life for step 693 00:32:25,800 --> 00:32:28,320 Speaker 1: on living. Okay, you know, but I've been you know, 694 00:32:28,360 --> 00:32:31,080 Speaker 1: like I said, I've seen I've seen a lot of 695 00:32:31,120 --> 00:32:35,000 Speaker 1: unfulfilled expectations around it. It's like, you know, eloquently put out, 696 00:32:35,080 --> 00:32:37,080 Speaker 1: you know, I mean, this is not the seven I 697 00:32:37,080 --> 00:32:40,280 Speaker 1: got to retire retirement to Troy emminent, Michael, you know, 698 00:32:41,160 --> 00:32:43,560 Speaker 1: I you know, and and as a reporter, not as 699 00:32:43,600 --> 00:32:45,719 Speaker 1: a fan, and I have so I have to And 700 00:32:45,760 --> 00:32:48,000 Speaker 1: I have never seen an NFC Championship game, So you 701 00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:50,160 Speaker 1: would think I could be that same way of been, like, 702 00:32:50,240 --> 00:32:52,320 Speaker 1: I don't care about any of that stuff, but I 703 00:32:52,360 --> 00:32:54,360 Speaker 1: just I just don't. I just feel like you're wasting 704 00:32:54,960 --> 00:32:57,760 Speaker 1: me personally. I feel like I feel like you're just 705 00:32:57,840 --> 00:33:00,480 Speaker 1: wasting the time and go. That was a good game. 706 00:33:00,520 --> 00:33:02,960 Speaker 1: I'm not worried about what forty to three or twenty 707 00:33:03,040 --> 00:33:06,200 Speaker 1: to twenty against the Giants means necessarily. I mean, and 708 00:33:06,320 --> 00:33:08,760 Speaker 1: you're right, it could be because of content. I gotta 709 00:33:08,760 --> 00:33:11,160 Speaker 1: put out seven things of content this day and seven 710 00:33:11,160 --> 00:33:14,320 Speaker 1: things tomorrow. So if everything is like, well, nothing matters 711 00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:16,840 Speaker 1: except for the playoffs, nothing matter, but forty to three 712 00:33:17,040 --> 00:33:18,880 Speaker 1: it matters. You have to look at forty three. We 713 00:33:18,920 --> 00:33:21,520 Speaker 1: all looked at fourty three against that team with that record, 714 00:33:21,640 --> 00:33:24,080 Speaker 1: who had just beaten Buffalo, who two weeks ago. We 715 00:33:24,120 --> 00:33:25,920 Speaker 1: thought before that, we thought Buffalo was the best tea. 716 00:33:26,280 --> 00:33:28,680 Speaker 1: You have to look at that forty three and say, oh, 717 00:33:29,560 --> 00:33:31,600 Speaker 1: this team can do it. So we're looking at so 718 00:33:31,640 --> 00:33:33,800 Speaker 1: you're doing the same thing. All right, guys, it's been fun. 719 00:33:33,840 --> 00:33:35,240 Speaker 1: Thank you very much. All right, when you get a 720 00:33:35,240 --> 00:33:37,880 Speaker 1: break and you get a break. When we come back, 721 00:33:38,040 --> 00:33:41,880 Speaker 1: I want to discuss number seventy seven. When do we 722 00:33:41,920 --> 00:33:44,600 Speaker 1: expect to see him and do you insert him in 723 00:33:44,600 --> 00:33:48,720 Speaker 1: the starting lineup. Let's do that with Clarence Hill fort 724 00:33:48,720 --> 00:33:51,160 Speaker 1: Worth Star Telegram coach Nick Eatman of the Dallas Cowboy 725 00:33:51,280 --> 00:33:53,200 Speaker 1: dasas Cowboy dot com.

Yeah, So, 767 00:36:15,239 --> 00:36:18,040 Speaker 1: Trayvon Diggs Michael Gallup both did not practice today because 768 00:36:18,080 --> 00:36:21,440 Speaker 1: of illness, and as you might remember, there were several 769 00:36:21,480 --> 00:36:24,080 Speaker 1: players that did not practice and several that did not 770 00:36:24,120 --> 00:36:27,959 Speaker 1: play in the game last week because of illness as well. 771 00:36:28,400 --> 00:36:30,719 Speaker 1: Some type of I guess flu bug or whatever that 772 00:36:30,800 --> 00:36:33,080 Speaker 1: has been going around some players that were able to 773 00:36:33,120 --> 00:36:36,239 Speaker 1: still play despite battling some of this, So that was 774 00:36:36,320 --> 00:36:39,879 Speaker 1: probably the two most noteworthy things. But to me, it's 775 00:36:39,920 --> 00:36:42,360 Speaker 1: a pretty short injury list, only five names on. Anthony 776 00:36:42,440 --> 00:36:44,719 Speaker 1: Barr with the hamstring was limited, jay Ron Curse with 777 00:36:44,760 --> 00:36:47,720 Speaker 1: the shoulder was limited, and then de Marcus Lawrence foot limited, 778 00:36:47,760 --> 00:36:49,480 Speaker 1: which is something that will be probably the case for 779 00:36:49,520 --> 00:36:52,280 Speaker 1: the rest of the season. But to me, I'd also 780 00:36:52,480 --> 00:36:54,400 Speaker 1: point out that there is no Michael Parsons on the 781 00:36:54,440 --> 00:36:57,200 Speaker 1: injury report, which is notable because you know, last week 782 00:36:57,239 --> 00:37:01,560 Speaker 1: he had the foot slash knee and he also had 783 00:37:01,560 --> 00:37:04,440 Speaker 1: been dealing with his shoulder, so to not have him 784 00:37:04,440 --> 00:37:07,080 Speaker 1: on here at all a little surprising. Oh yeah, Zeke 785 00:37:07,160 --> 00:37:09,560 Speaker 1: either he goes. There's no Zeke talking to day about 786 00:37:09,600 --> 00:37:11,120 Speaker 1: how he thinks that he could potentially get to a 787 00:37:11,120 --> 00:37:12,560 Speaker 1: point where he doesn't have to wear the knee brace 788 00:37:12,600 --> 00:37:15,279 Speaker 1: this season, which I don't think that was the expectation 789 00:37:15,400 --> 00:37:18,520 Speaker 1: when he suffered that knee injury. So yeah, yeah, those 790 00:37:18,560 --> 00:37:20,759 Speaker 1: are It's pretty short. But I think also because of 791 00:37:20,800 --> 00:37:22,680 Speaker 1: the fact that they didn't play over the weekend, they 792 00:37:22,719 --> 00:37:24,879 Speaker 1: got some extra ar rests probably helped him. Jay Ryan 793 00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:28,319 Speaker 1: curses is obviously good news because you know, we're sitting 794 00:37:28,320 --> 00:37:29,680 Speaker 1: next to each other during the game. He kind of 795 00:37:29,680 --> 00:37:31,200 Speaker 1: didn't know what was going on with him at all. 796 00:37:31,440 --> 00:37:32,759 Speaker 1: It couldn't find him, and all of a sudden, he's 797 00:37:32,760 --> 00:37:35,320 Speaker 1: on the bench and there's like four or five equipment 798 00:37:35,320 --> 00:37:37,200 Speaker 1: members trying to put on a harness on his shoulder. 799 00:37:37,480 --> 00:37:40,239 Speaker 1: I think it actually might have separated, but he went 800 00:37:40,280 --> 00:37:41,759 Speaker 1: back in the game. I mean he played through it 801 00:37:42,280 --> 00:37:45,520 Speaker 1: so and he was limited to day so apparently he's 802 00:37:45,560 --> 00:37:47,360 Speaker 1: going to be able to play. That's nothing that's going 803 00:37:47,400 --> 00:37:52,040 Speaker 1: to keep him out. So Tyran Smith, let's dive into 804 00:37:52,040 --> 00:37:55,640 Speaker 1: this number seventy seven. See him out there on the 805 00:37:55,680 --> 00:37:58,720 Speaker 1: bands with Britt Brown. He is getting closer to playing. 806 00:37:58,760 --> 00:38:03,160 Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy addressed. So, guys, when do we expect to 807 00:38:03,200 --> 00:38:08,120 Speaker 1: see seventy seven back on the football field? And it's 808 00:38:08,200 --> 00:38:11,200 Speaker 1: seventy seven a starter? Barry Church says he should be 809 00:38:11,239 --> 00:38:15,360 Speaker 1: a swing tackle if he starts. I'm assuming we put 810 00:38:15,520 --> 00:38:17,960 Speaker 1: Tyler Smith, the rookie who's been starting at left tackle, 811 00:38:18,080 --> 00:38:21,600 Speaker 1: at left guard. So I'll start with you, Clarence, where 812 00:38:21,640 --> 00:38:23,680 Speaker 1: do we go with this? I mean, it's a good 813 00:38:23,680 --> 00:38:25,800 Speaker 1: problem to have. I mean, I mean, I think that 814 00:38:25,840 --> 00:38:28,240 Speaker 1: when he comes back, he's gonna start, he should start 815 00:38:28,239 --> 00:38:30,040 Speaker 1: at left tackle. And then you moved Tyren Smith to 816 00:38:30,120 --> 00:38:32,960 Speaker 1: left guard. I mean Tyler Smith. I mean, I'm sorry, 817 00:38:33,239 --> 00:38:36,200 Speaker 1: Tyler Smith to left guard. Smiths so t Smith boys 818 00:38:36,200 --> 00:38:42,040 Speaker 1: the rookie, Yeah, the rookie. You know, as I look 819 00:38:42,040 --> 00:38:45,839 Speaker 1: at the playoffs go ahead and a potential match up 820 00:38:45,880 --> 00:38:49,440 Speaker 1: with the Eagles, and that defensive line, which is gotten 821 00:38:49,480 --> 00:38:51,640 Speaker 1: better than at forty nine, is with that scary defense 822 00:38:51,680 --> 00:38:55,080 Speaker 1: in front, you know, you want your best guys out 823 00:38:55,120 --> 00:38:56,920 Speaker 1: there that you want that to be your strength. You 824 00:38:57,000 --> 00:39:01,200 Speaker 1: need your your your big behemas muscle guys, whoever your 825 00:39:01,239 --> 00:39:04,480 Speaker 1: strongest linement out there, your strongest guys out there. You know, 826 00:39:04,480 --> 00:39:06,400 Speaker 1: it's so funny to me because you know, we've been 827 00:39:06,480 --> 00:39:09,800 Speaker 1: running a long time and the continuity and the chemistry 828 00:39:09,840 --> 00:39:11,560 Speaker 1: and office not as so important. You really don't want 829 00:39:11,560 --> 00:39:14,280 Speaker 1: to move guys and changing from this position that position, 830 00:39:14,280 --> 00:39:17,279 Speaker 1: because go mess up to continuing the chemistry. And they 831 00:39:17,360 --> 00:39:19,680 Speaker 1: are they're like a group, they're dancing, they gotta be 832 00:39:19,760 --> 00:39:22,920 Speaker 1: together and all the other stuff. I'm just saying the 833 00:39:22,960 --> 00:39:27,120 Speaker 1: stuff we've heard from coaches why they can't move Zach 834 00:39:27,200 --> 00:39:31,120 Speaker 1: Bard to tackle when he's your best player. Okay, all 835 00:39:31,160 --> 00:39:34,440 Speaker 1: of those stuff. I love the fact that we're trying 836 00:39:34,480 --> 00:39:37,000 Speaker 1: to win. We're putting our best guys out there. I 837 00:39:37,000 --> 00:39:39,680 Speaker 1: don't care if they practice one day or two days 838 00:39:39,760 --> 00:39:42,680 Speaker 1: or two weeks. It's time. It's playoff time. It's just 839 00:39:42,680 --> 00:39:44,319 Speaker 1: like at the beginning of the season. Yeah, I don't 840 00:39:44,320 --> 00:39:47,359 Speaker 1: care Tylas, he's our left tackle. I don't care. He's 841 00:39:47,400 --> 00:39:49,040 Speaker 1: been out to put your best guys out there, and 842 00:39:49,080 --> 00:39:50,960 Speaker 1: that's what they're doing. I like the idea of him 843 00:39:51,160 --> 00:39:55,360 Speaker 1: returning next week to practice and then playing the following 844 00:39:55,400 --> 00:39:59,800 Speaker 1: week against the Jags, so then he's back. Is closest 845 00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:01,719 Speaker 1: possible for that Eagles game to be in the start. 846 00:40:01,719 --> 00:40:03,719 Speaker 1: But yeah, I just feel like any time I've heard 847 00:40:03,880 --> 00:40:07,600 Speaker 1: Jerry or Steven talk about this in the last few weeks, 848 00:40:07,680 --> 00:40:09,839 Speaker 1: it's been yeah, he's one of our best five. Yeah, 849 00:40:09,840 --> 00:40:11,759 Speaker 1: he's been back there. Mike McCarthy hasn't been on that 850 00:40:11,840 --> 00:40:16,160 Speaker 1: same uh. I guess playing with them, but they've made 851 00:40:16,160 --> 00:40:18,480 Speaker 1: it very clear they view, hey, this is this is 852 00:40:18,520 --> 00:40:20,400 Speaker 1: Tyron Smith. Yeah, when he's back, he's back out there, 853 00:40:20,440 --> 00:40:21,960 Speaker 1: and it just makes sense. He moved him in to 854 00:40:21,960 --> 00:40:24,400 Speaker 1: the left tackle or back at left tackle and Tyler 855 00:40:24,400 --> 00:40:26,560 Speaker 1: Smith in the left guard. But I think Matt McCarthy 856 00:40:26,600 --> 00:40:28,720 Speaker 1: has been on that. He's talked to us about that. 857 00:40:28,520 --> 00:40:31,600 Speaker 1: That's that's the player. I guess, I don't. I guess 858 00:40:31,600 --> 00:40:34,080 Speaker 1: he hasn't been is Jerry and Steven have just made 859 00:40:34,040 --> 00:40:36,400 Speaker 1: it pretty cool. He's never gonna just go out and 860 00:40:36,400 --> 00:40:38,799 Speaker 1: tell us our plan to plan to start. But I 861 00:40:38,880 --> 00:40:40,880 Speaker 1: remember back in twenty twenty and we talked about the 862 00:40:40,920 --> 00:40:43,400 Speaker 1: Zach Martin thing and he talked about the moving two guys. 863 00:40:43,760 --> 00:40:45,960 Speaker 1: This year, we got him in the walk off. I've 864 00:40:45,960 --> 00:40:49,120 Speaker 1: asked pointedly about that. He said, yeah, that's the play. Yeah, 865 00:40:49,440 --> 00:40:52,040 Speaker 1: and he said that was the plan on because I 866 00:40:52,080 --> 00:40:54,680 Speaker 1: think Tyrn Smith at left tackle, that's got to be 867 00:40:54,760 --> 00:40:56,839 Speaker 1: the plan. He's he's he's earned it, he's I think 868 00:40:56,880 --> 00:40:59,480 Speaker 1: he's the better player. And I think Tyler Smith has 869 00:40:59,520 --> 00:41:02,480 Speaker 1: been really good for a rookie that did not play 870 00:41:02,719 --> 00:41:05,399 Speaker 1: all offseason. There. He's still committed some penalties, he still 871 00:41:05,400 --> 00:41:07,560 Speaker 1: has some issues, and he didn't have his great a 872 00:41:07,640 --> 00:41:10,239 Speaker 1: great game I didn't think last week, but he did 873 00:41:10,400 --> 00:41:13,439 Speaker 1: not beat out Connor mcgovernment at left guard, and maybe 874 00:41:13,480 --> 00:41:17,400 Speaker 1: he was going to but he did not. I okay, 875 00:41:17,640 --> 00:41:19,759 Speaker 1: I'm just saying he has not. So is he the 876 00:41:19,840 --> 00:41:23,360 Speaker 1: better left guard than Connor mcgovernor, Yes he is. Okay. 877 00:41:23,840 --> 00:41:27,360 Speaker 1: I do think that was more about coach speaking them, 878 00:41:27,360 --> 00:41:30,040 Speaker 1: trying to bring him along, and I give it to him. 879 00:41:30,040 --> 00:41:34,480 Speaker 1: I think that for a while it did, I think. 880 00:41:34,840 --> 00:41:36,640 Speaker 1: But the problem the problem here is that I think 881 00:41:36,640 --> 00:41:40,000 Speaker 1: that when you're when you're using talent guard its center 882 00:41:40,520 --> 00:41:43,319 Speaker 1: and you, I mean Connor mc government its center and 883 00:41:43,360 --> 00:41:46,920 Speaker 1: we're getting game, but connormc government at fullback, you're telling 884 00:41:46,960 --> 00:41:49,839 Speaker 1: me what your plans are down the road. He did 885 00:41:49,920 --> 00:41:53,120 Speaker 1: not made the official move, but before before the start 886 00:41:53,160 --> 00:41:56,920 Speaker 1: of season, you were gonna see him starting with Tyrn Smith. 887 00:41:57,360 --> 00:41:59,719 Speaker 1: They just hadn't done it yet. But those last couple 888 00:41:59,760 --> 00:42:02,279 Speaker 1: of weeks training camp, the fact that yeah, he hadn't 889 00:42:02,239 --> 00:42:04,840 Speaker 1: passed through yet, but yet you're using your starter, and 890 00:42:04,880 --> 00:42:07,759 Speaker 1: we talked about it important because it's not like Karl 891 00:42:07,840 --> 00:42:09,640 Speaker 1: mc govern had been a long term start. He needs 892 00:42:09,640 --> 00:42:12,080 Speaker 1: many reps. It's possible as well, the fact that you 893 00:42:12,239 --> 00:42:15,400 Speaker 1: use your starter at center and games at fullback in 894 00:42:15,440 --> 00:42:17,719 Speaker 1: practice of doing other things, woul him getting prepared for 895 00:42:18,239 --> 00:42:21,080 Speaker 1: if other jobs he can do if Tyler tells me everything. 896 00:42:21,080 --> 00:42:23,040 Speaker 1: I need to know if Tyler Smith can handle it, 897 00:42:23,040 --> 00:42:25,439 Speaker 1: because I mean they everyone says it moves faster in there, 898 00:42:25,480 --> 00:42:27,000 Speaker 1: and so it's gonna be more pennant if he can 899 00:42:27,040 --> 00:42:28,960 Speaker 1: handle it, I think you got a better situation. You 900 00:42:29,040 --> 00:42:32,000 Speaker 1: got a strong songer left guard, you got a versatile fullback. 901 00:42:32,000 --> 00:42:33,839 Speaker 1: Now my government can do some different things, and then 902 00:42:33,840 --> 00:42:35,920 Speaker 1: of course you've got Tyron Smith. I'm all for it. 903 00:42:36,080 --> 00:42:39,000 Speaker 1: I'm just saying they have never shown that Tyler Smith 904 00:42:39,680 --> 00:42:42,560 Speaker 1: is going is the better left guard just yet by 905 00:42:42,600 --> 00:42:45,240 Speaker 1: putting him there, because I feel like they went way 906 00:42:45,280 --> 00:42:47,759 Speaker 1: deep into training camp in the season and hadn't done 907 00:42:47,800 --> 00:42:49,200 Speaker 1: it yet. And if it had it not been for 908 00:42:49,280 --> 00:42:51,080 Speaker 1: an injury of Tyron Smith, who knows if they would 909 00:42:51,120 --> 00:42:52,560 Speaker 1: have done it. I just feel like you have to 910 00:42:52,600 --> 00:42:54,719 Speaker 1: have Tyler Smith out there because he's your future. I 911 00:42:54,760 --> 00:42:56,319 Speaker 1: don't think that you're gonna bench a guy like that. 912 00:42:56,400 --> 00:42:58,560 Speaker 1: He's just too important for you going forward, so you'll 913 00:42:58,560 --> 00:43:00,480 Speaker 1: take to go with the bad. And yeah, no one's 914 00:43:00,520 --> 00:43:02,719 Speaker 1: saying that he's going to be a great left guard. 915 00:43:02,760 --> 00:43:04,560 Speaker 1: If he is, then then that's great, But if not, 916 00:43:04,600 --> 00:43:06,040 Speaker 1: I don't think he's gonna be any worse than he's 917 00:43:06,040 --> 00:43:07,839 Speaker 1: been at left tackle and left tackle. I think he's 918 00:43:07,880 --> 00:43:11,200 Speaker 1: exceeded expectations. And ultimately, you're doing this because you're getting 919 00:43:11,239 --> 00:43:13,120 Speaker 1: tired Smith back and that's the most important thing. But 920 00:43:13,160 --> 00:43:14,799 Speaker 1: if they lose in the playoffs, if they was the 921 00:43:14,800 --> 00:43:17,520 Speaker 1: first round game of the playoffs, is Mike McCarthy definitely 922 00:43:17,560 --> 00:43:20,640 Speaker 1: the head coach like losing the first round? Great season, 923 00:43:20,680 --> 00:43:22,759 Speaker 1: they lost in the first round. I think he still is, 924 00:43:22,800 --> 00:43:25,279 Speaker 1: but I wouldn't say definitely. Well, my point at that 925 00:43:25,480 --> 00:43:27,560 Speaker 1: is is that if if he is not better than 926 00:43:27,600 --> 00:43:31,759 Speaker 1: Connor McGovern, I don't know what does Why does McCarthy 927 00:43:31,800 --> 00:43:35,080 Speaker 1: care about Tyler Smith's future if he's not worried about 928 00:43:35,120 --> 00:43:37,000 Speaker 1: his own? But see, I see, but it's got to 929 00:43:37,040 --> 00:43:40,680 Speaker 1: be way better. But my point is this, I don't 930 00:43:40,719 --> 00:43:43,440 Speaker 1: think the decision to play him and move him to 931 00:43:43,520 --> 00:43:46,839 Speaker 1: guard is about his future. It's about now. Everything they're 932 00:43:46,880 --> 00:43:50,120 Speaker 1: doing when they make this move, it's about now, and 933 00:43:50,200 --> 00:43:52,400 Speaker 1: I they believe if they do this and that's the 934 00:43:52,480 --> 00:43:56,080 Speaker 1: plan because they've been working his plan, there's spending time 935 00:43:56,120 --> 00:43:59,560 Speaker 1: in practice doing this plan. They believe he is he 936 00:43:59,680 --> 00:44:01,960 Speaker 1: is now and as the better upside for this team 937 00:44:02,160 --> 00:44:04,640 Speaker 1: with him there that they wouldn't be doing if they didn't. 938 00:44:05,400 --> 00:44:07,960 Speaker 1: They believe that, so you have to trust what they believe, 939 00:44:08,480 --> 00:44:10,799 Speaker 1: and they have. They've hit right on on these on 940 00:44:10,840 --> 00:44:14,120 Speaker 1: these buttons before. All I'm saying is is that we 941 00:44:14,560 --> 00:44:17,600 Speaker 1: hasn't didn't do it yet. I know they didn't do 942 00:44:17,640 --> 00:44:19,040 Speaker 1: it yet because they didn't do it a training camp 943 00:44:19,080 --> 00:44:21,359 Speaker 1: because they didn't have to do it. They didn't have 944 00:44:21,400 --> 00:44:23,200 Speaker 1: to do it at that point. They want to do 945 00:44:23,200 --> 00:44:25,040 Speaker 1: it when they need to do it, just like you know, 946 00:44:25,520 --> 00:44:27,760 Speaker 1: all just just like a left tack when Tyren Smith 947 00:44:27,840 --> 00:44:30,640 Speaker 1: got hurt. What you know, they didn't put Josh ball 948 00:44:30,719 --> 00:44:33,759 Speaker 1: about old guys, but they moved the guy that they 949 00:44:33,880 --> 00:44:36,400 Speaker 1: who had been playing guard, had took no reps to 950 00:44:36,480 --> 00:44:40,680 Speaker 1: trading at tackling trading none, and moved him right there. Gentlemen, 951 00:44:40,719 --> 00:44:42,799 Speaker 1: I appreciate the conversation. It's a lot of fun. We're 952 00:44:42,840 --> 00:44:45,800 Speaker 1: at a time with Clarence Hill the Fourth Star Telegram, 953 00:44:45,920 --> 00:44:49,200 Speaker 1: Nick Eatman of Dallas Cowboys dot Com radio.
