<v Speaker 1>welcome everybody into the SWBC Mortgage Studio. It is Tuesday,

0:00:29.440 --> 0:00:32.000
<v Speaker 1>so it is talking time, and we've got lots to

0:00:32.080 --> 0:00:34.880
<v Speaker 1>talk about here at the Star in Brisco. Of course,

0:00:34.920 --> 0:00:37.840
<v Speaker 1>I was joined by my lovely colleagues here. We've lots

0:00:37.880 --> 0:00:40.199
<v Speaker 1>to fill you in on and and unfortunately I was

0:00:40.240 --> 0:00:44.160
<v Speaker 1>informed pre show Mickey will not be debuting his single

0:00:44.280 --> 0:00:48.280
<v Speaker 1>here today. Yeah, another time I did everybody of favor.

0:00:48.360 --> 0:00:51.240
<v Speaker 1>You promised so many people. I did everybody of favor.

0:00:51.280 --> 0:00:54.880
<v Speaker 1>Was that the duet with Dean Martin? Yes, absolutely, bringing

0:00:54.960 --> 0:00:57.560
<v Speaker 1>him back to live Holograhamson. Maybe it was Perry Como,

0:00:57.680 --> 0:01:00.840
<v Speaker 1>Perry Como there you go? Wow, you want to keep

0:01:00.840 --> 0:01:03.840
<v Speaker 1>going back for I can go with you, Mickey, But nowadays,

0:01:03.840 --> 0:01:05.960
<v Speaker 1>who knows we'll drop? Who will drop a single while

0:01:06.000 --> 0:01:10.160
<v Speaker 1>we're on air today? Ever? Know that released? Yes? And

0:01:10.240 --> 0:01:13.440
<v Speaker 1>it blew our minds. Yep, almost as much as the

0:01:13.800 --> 0:01:18.520
<v Speaker 1>incredible Minnesota Miracle. How about that, Brian? You always say

0:01:18.600 --> 0:01:22.000
<v Speaker 1>that it's hard to win in that place. Hard to win. Yeah,

0:01:22.040 --> 0:01:24.679
<v Speaker 1>and they were ten seconds or so from winning, So

0:01:25.040 --> 0:01:29.120
<v Speaker 1>that's it's unfortunate. I actually talked to Sean Payton yesterday.

0:01:29.200 --> 0:01:31.600
<v Speaker 1>What do you say I did. He just was saying

0:01:31.640 --> 0:01:34.280
<v Speaker 1>that they needed to play better than the first half. Yeah,

0:01:34.319 --> 0:01:36.160
<v Speaker 1>that was he did. Says, Hey, it doesn't come down

0:01:36.200 --> 0:01:38.600
<v Speaker 1>to one play. He said, we made two many mistakes

0:01:38.600 --> 0:01:41.080
<v Speaker 1>in the first half of that football game. First shutout

0:01:41.120 --> 0:01:44.240
<v Speaker 1>for the New Orleans Saints in the first half, sixty

0:01:44.280 --> 0:01:48.000
<v Speaker 1>one consecutive games. Wow, Yeah, the longest record in the league. Yeah,

0:01:48.040 --> 0:01:50.720
<v Speaker 1>he shouldn't fall behind seventeen. That's what I'm saying. He said,

0:01:50.760 --> 0:01:52.920
<v Speaker 1>you know, if we made some mistakes, and you know, yes,

0:01:53.040 --> 0:01:55.960
<v Speaker 1>everybody's saying, you know, the kid made made a big

0:01:56.000 --> 0:01:57.600
<v Speaker 1>mistake there at the end, But we guess we just

0:01:57.640 --> 0:02:00.280
<v Speaker 1>didn't play well enough the first half. And that's you know,

0:02:00.360 --> 0:02:03.080
<v Speaker 1>I mean, he's a good spirits and all, but you know,

0:02:03.280 --> 0:02:05.040
<v Speaker 1>it's a big opportunity they missed there, you know, and

0:02:05.080 --> 0:02:07.480
<v Speaker 1>they're running. You're getting to the end of a career

0:02:07.560 --> 0:02:09.720
<v Speaker 1>with with Drew Brees, you know, and you don't know

0:02:09.720 --> 0:02:11.160
<v Speaker 1>how many more of those runs you're going to get

0:02:11.160 --> 0:02:13.320
<v Speaker 1>to make, you know, and it all kind of comes down.

0:02:13.400 --> 0:02:15.959
<v Speaker 1>You think you kind of have everything in control and

0:02:16.120 --> 0:02:18.600
<v Speaker 1>it doesn't work out at the end. Lady. Yeah, A

0:02:18.639 --> 0:02:21.000
<v Speaker 1>strange lady. It's a strange lady. Give the Vikings some

0:02:21.040 --> 0:02:23.400
<v Speaker 1>credit though, for keep for the ability to keep playing

0:02:23.400 --> 0:02:25.919
<v Speaker 1>at the end of that football game. So kept playing.

0:02:26.000 --> 0:02:29.480
<v Speaker 1>Did he he's trying to avoid a penalty, right, I

0:02:29.600 --> 0:02:33.040
<v Speaker 1>thought so? Yeah, I thought so, And he was Jimmy

0:02:33.120 --> 0:02:36.720
<v Speaker 1>Johnson afterwards too. Yeah. I was good to hear that. Yeah,

0:02:36.840 --> 0:02:41.760
<v Speaker 1>they thought there was a flag or something, and well, honestly,

0:02:41.800 --> 0:02:43.600
<v Speaker 1>like when the drive started, I thought they were in

0:02:43.639 --> 0:02:46.640
<v Speaker 1>trouble because potentially because they haven't been able to stop

0:02:46.680 --> 0:02:50.200
<v Speaker 1>him through the air the entire game, and a lot

0:02:50.240 --> 0:02:53.000
<v Speaker 1>of grabbing and holding to prevent guys from running free.

0:02:53.040 --> 0:02:56.800
<v Speaker 1>And that's eventually what they tried to avoid. Might have

0:02:56.800 --> 0:02:59.960
<v Speaker 1>been a penalty anyway, because he was coming in early. Yeah, Williams,

0:03:00.000 --> 0:03:02.080
<v Speaker 1>if you remember he also they had a third down

0:03:02.120 --> 0:03:06.200
<v Speaker 1>play I believe, where he was in position defending the

0:03:06.240 --> 0:03:08.640
<v Speaker 1>tight end along the sidelines and he had his back

0:03:08.680 --> 0:03:11.040
<v Speaker 1>and his hands up and I thought, oh my gosh,

0:03:11.040 --> 0:03:12.800
<v Speaker 1>you're gonna get him for not looking for the ball.

0:03:13.560 --> 0:03:15.839
<v Speaker 1>You know. Yeah, that's and I'm thinking, well, that could

0:03:15.840 --> 0:03:18.200
<v Speaker 1>have been a call right there, but no, I mean

0:03:18.280 --> 0:03:25.160
<v Speaker 1>that's a that's tough stuff happens. Forty three two. Did

0:03:25.200 --> 0:03:28.000
<v Speaker 1>you notice that it was the same number of the

0:03:28.040 --> 0:03:31.359
<v Speaker 1>guy that Drew Pearson beat there for the hill Man. Oh, Nate, right,

0:03:32.080 --> 0:03:35.520
<v Speaker 1>that was forty three. Yeah. Did you hear him come

0:03:35.560 --> 0:03:38.480
<v Speaker 1>out and talk about that? Oh yeah, I was telling them,

0:03:38.600 --> 0:03:40.840
<v Speaker 1>you know, Digs, this touchdown is going to stay with

0:03:40.840 --> 0:03:43.360
<v Speaker 1>you for life. And yeah, it's pretty cool to hear

0:03:43.400 --> 0:03:45.920
<v Speaker 1>him talk about it. Yeah, maybe it'll be immortalized in

0:03:45.960 --> 0:03:48.720
<v Speaker 1>the future Minnesota Vikings. Maybe it gets Drew off the

0:03:48.800 --> 0:03:53.280
<v Speaker 1>hook up there. Yeah. Yeah, Mike Zimmer was ten seconds

0:03:53.320 --> 0:03:56.200
<v Speaker 1>away from losing another playoff game at home. You know,

0:03:56.360 --> 0:03:59.760
<v Speaker 1>that just shows you what happens and how the trual manner.

0:04:00.160 --> 0:04:02.920
<v Speaker 1>The other one was a missfield seven yard field goal.

0:04:03.240 --> 0:04:07.080
<v Speaker 1>They were indoors this time. M Zim deserved it. He

0:04:07.160 --> 0:04:11.400
<v Speaker 1>deserves something lucky to happen to him after everything he's

0:04:11.400 --> 0:04:15.960
<v Speaker 1>been through. His eyes. That's a good point his eye.

0:04:16.000 --> 0:04:19.839
<v Speaker 1>You know, family stuff. Sure, you know, even when he

0:04:19.920 --> 0:04:23.240
<v Speaker 1>left here, he didn't want to leave, but his contract

0:04:23.320 --> 0:04:26.520
<v Speaker 1>was up and Bill bagged his feet if he was

0:04:26.560 --> 0:04:28.960
<v Speaker 1>going to stay or not, and he had the opportunity

0:04:29.000 --> 0:04:32.440
<v Speaker 1>to go to Atlanta, and then that guy ups and

0:04:32.520 --> 0:04:36.680
<v Speaker 1>leaves after did even finish his first year, left them

0:04:36.720 --> 0:04:39.800
<v Speaker 1>all hanging there. Yeah, at Louisville. The head coach at Louisville,

0:04:40.200 --> 0:04:44.479
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, it was he's had some tough, tough breaks

0:04:44.520 --> 0:04:47.560
<v Speaker 1>and getting through that eye thing, and we all know

0:04:47.600 --> 0:04:50.600
<v Speaker 1>how stubborn he is, and you know, he didn't want

0:04:50.600 --> 0:04:53.200
<v Speaker 1>to miss the game to have surgery, and they basically

0:04:53.240 --> 0:04:55.599
<v Speaker 1>told him, Okay, go blind, then lose the game or

0:04:55.600 --> 0:04:58.320
<v Speaker 1>lose your eye. What do you what's more important to you?

0:04:58.880 --> 0:05:01.240
<v Speaker 1>And they basically had to strap him down and then

0:05:01.279 --> 0:05:04.839
<v Speaker 1>for him to come back and have something very fortunate

0:05:05.000 --> 0:05:08.480
<v Speaker 1>happened to him. Seven Heaven was the name of the play.

0:05:09.080 --> 0:05:12.400
<v Speaker 1>That's what they're calling it. That's no, that's the play. Oh.

0:05:12.440 --> 0:05:15.080
<v Speaker 1>When Diggs was interviewed afterwards, they asked him what the

0:05:15.080 --> 0:05:16.520
<v Speaker 1>play is and he goes, well, I don't like to

0:05:16.560 --> 0:05:20.920
<v Speaker 1>talk about plays and names, but this one was called

0:05:21.000 --> 0:05:23.840
<v Speaker 1>seven Heaven. So it's a seven route. Yeah, yeah, and

0:05:23.920 --> 0:05:26.800
<v Speaker 1>basically Heaven like hope for the best, for the best,

0:05:27.320 --> 0:05:29.920
<v Speaker 1>it's probably the same route that Witton ran that time

0:05:30.000 --> 0:05:33.719
<v Speaker 1>and at the Giants, remember when Bill went up there

0:05:33.760 --> 0:05:37.000
<v Speaker 1>and they got the game, kicked the field goal to

0:05:37.040 --> 0:05:39.080
<v Speaker 1>get they ran out though I thought it was an

0:05:39.120 --> 0:05:41.479
<v Speaker 1>out there. This wasn't out, yeah, but it was kind

0:05:41.480 --> 0:05:44.039
<v Speaker 1>of a cross right the left side. This was to

0:05:44.080 --> 0:05:48.600
<v Speaker 1>the right side. So Billy Kundiff right, yeah, fifty some

0:05:48.839 --> 0:05:53.120
<v Speaker 1>yard field goal. Yeah, so is there time on the clock?

0:05:53.279 --> 0:05:57.120
<v Speaker 1>You better better be careful. Stuff social man. These people

0:05:57.160 --> 0:05:59.440
<v Speaker 1>who were filming themselves at the end of the game,

0:06:00.120 --> 0:06:01.920
<v Speaker 1>there's this one guy, he's a Saints fan. He's in

0:06:01.960 --> 0:06:04.840
<v Speaker 1>a huge bar. You can tell all Saints fans around him.

0:06:04.920 --> 0:06:07.320
<v Speaker 1>And somebody comment and said, you can actually see the

0:06:07.360 --> 0:06:11.200
<v Speaker 1>moment his heartbreaks and then there you know, there were

0:06:11.200 --> 0:06:14.719
<v Speaker 1>different ones where they set the play to Titanic music.

0:06:15.400 --> 0:06:17.679
<v Speaker 1>It was awesome as he's running into the end zone,

0:06:18.120 --> 0:06:21.480
<v Speaker 1>arms wide open, just hilarious. Not as good as Jets

0:06:21.560 --> 0:06:24.760
<v Speaker 1>danced to anything, Brian, but yeah, very club love Jets

0:06:24.800 --> 0:06:27.400
<v Speaker 1>dancing love. That's but you know what they came around,

0:06:27.839 --> 0:06:31.320
<v Speaker 1>and we're very compassionate. I thought all the people that

0:06:31.480 --> 0:06:35.120
<v Speaker 1>met the team at the airport afterwards, I saw that

0:06:35.200 --> 0:06:37.640
<v Speaker 1>there was a highway sign on I ten. It said,

0:06:37.800 --> 0:06:42.880
<v Speaker 1>that's so, that's okay, Marcus, Uh, we love Saints pretty good. Yeah,

0:06:42.920 --> 0:06:46.400
<v Speaker 1>it's nice. And then, okay, did you see what the

0:06:46.839 --> 0:06:50.920
<v Speaker 1>headline was at the time, picky expletive explative. I had

0:06:50.920 --> 0:06:55.599
<v Speaker 1>to stacked expletive expletive expletive. Yeah, that's pretty good. I

0:06:55.640 --> 0:06:57.800
<v Speaker 1>had to. I felt like I needed to call my

0:06:57.880 --> 0:07:00.440
<v Speaker 1>dad and I did, and he's okay. I've been a

0:07:00.440 --> 0:07:03.440
<v Speaker 1>fan for fifty years. Sat Yeah, it was. I mean,

0:07:04.200 --> 0:07:06.440
<v Speaker 1>that's tough. He's up there. You know, you gotta worry

0:07:06.480 --> 0:07:08.280
<v Speaker 1>about his heart a little bit. I love the whole

0:07:08.440 --> 0:07:12.200
<v Speaker 1>Vikings hashtag of bring it home because they could. They

0:07:12.200 --> 0:07:14.880
<v Speaker 1>could go to Philly next week and get a win

0:07:15.040 --> 0:07:16.960
<v Speaker 1>and go to the Super Bowl playing in their own

0:07:17.000 --> 0:07:20.440
<v Speaker 1>home stadium. Brian's been talking them up. They got the

0:07:20.440 --> 0:07:21.960
<v Speaker 1>best defense in the league. I think it was a

0:07:22.040 --> 0:07:25.400
<v Speaker 1>year early. Should have waited what Minnesota. Yeah, and I

0:07:25.440 --> 0:07:27.080
<v Speaker 1>think last year I was kind of talking them up

0:07:27.120 --> 0:07:28.680
<v Speaker 1>as a team I wouldn't want to have to play.

0:07:28.920 --> 0:07:30.680
<v Speaker 1>You've been doing it this playoffs. I've been talking up

0:07:30.680 --> 0:07:34.320
<v Speaker 1>the Eagles and I don't know, well AFC NFC title

0:07:34.400 --> 0:07:38.800
<v Speaker 1>games case, Keenum, Blake Bortles, Nick Foles, and Tom Brady.

0:07:38.920 --> 0:07:41.520
<v Speaker 1>What the quarterbacks? You love it? No? What was the schefter?

0:07:41.600 --> 0:07:44.360
<v Speaker 1>I think he had the stat that it's like combined

0:07:44.440 --> 0:07:48.320
<v Speaker 1>playoffs starts for those three guys about equal Brady super

0:07:48.360 --> 0:07:51.880
<v Speaker 1>Bowl title list. Like it's uh, it's there's a disparity.

0:07:51.960 --> 0:07:54.440
<v Speaker 1>There's anybody like Jacksonville going up to New England. Yes,

0:07:54.640 --> 0:07:56.600
<v Speaker 1>I love it. You got a great defense in the playoffs,

0:07:56.600 --> 0:08:00.560
<v Speaker 1>you got a shot, yeah church Man, Yeah, why not

0:08:00.800 --> 0:08:04.680
<v Speaker 1>get himself a ring? Maybe not say when everybody. Everybody

0:08:04.760 --> 0:08:09.240
<v Speaker 1>keeps pointing out the quarterbacks. But what they failed to

0:08:09.280 --> 0:08:14.480
<v Speaker 1>point out was the four teams that are left, they

0:08:14.680 --> 0:08:19.240
<v Speaker 1>all are ranked in the top five in scoring defense defense.

0:08:19.360 --> 0:08:22.160
<v Speaker 1>That's why you get away normally with a quarterback like

0:08:22.800 --> 0:08:27.040
<v Speaker 1>Minnesota's first, Jacksonville's second, Philadelphia's fourth, in New England's fifth.

0:08:27.800 --> 0:08:35.200
<v Speaker 1>So the Cowboys, they were scoring defense in top ten

0:08:35.240 --> 0:08:40.600
<v Speaker 1>in defense of the top like the top twelve teams. Uh,

0:08:41.360 --> 0:08:44.240
<v Speaker 1>only two of them. Uh didn't make the play take

0:08:44.280 --> 0:08:47.680
<v Speaker 1>the playoffs. The Chargers in Baltimore. Yeah, if you watch

0:08:47.720 --> 0:08:50.920
<v Speaker 1>the Jacksonville against Pittsburgh, they're in the backfield almost every play.

0:08:51.040 --> 0:08:54.480
<v Speaker 1>I mean, just making Ben's life miserable. So it doesn't

0:08:54.520 --> 0:08:56.880
<v Speaker 1>matter whether you're the goat. You know, if they're gonna

0:08:56.920 --> 0:08:59.000
<v Speaker 1>harass Brady like that, they got a shot. Would you

0:08:59.000 --> 0:09:01.960
<v Speaker 1>put Jalen Ramsey on Gronkowski and take your chances with

0:09:02.000 --> 0:09:05.680
<v Speaker 1>everybody else and think that that Boulle and those guys

0:09:05.720 --> 0:09:09.000
<v Speaker 1>can cover up any other problems you have? I mean no,

0:09:09.240 --> 0:09:12.360
<v Speaker 1>I'd have to think about that. Who's Who's the one

0:09:12.400 --> 0:09:15.960
<v Speaker 1>weapon you would worry about in this type of a game? Gronkowski,

0:09:16.320 --> 0:09:18.480
<v Speaker 1>I don't think you'd worry about the other guys. I

0:09:18.520 --> 0:09:22.400
<v Speaker 1>think you worry some about a Mondola. They miss, they

0:09:22.440 --> 0:09:25.240
<v Speaker 1>miss Edelman, they miss having that extra. Yeah, but he's

0:09:25.360 --> 0:09:28.880
<v Speaker 1>been in space and catching more stuff down the field. Yeah,

0:09:28.920 --> 0:09:33.640
<v Speaker 1>the games I've seen, why, well maybe and see I

0:09:33.800 --> 0:09:37.160
<v Speaker 1>think I think Gronkowski, I think that I think Jacksonville

0:09:37.160 --> 0:09:40.520
<v Speaker 1>can match up with these guys pretty if they can

0:09:40.559 --> 0:09:42.680
<v Speaker 1>rush the quarterback the way they've been. But do you

0:09:42.760 --> 0:09:45.480
<v Speaker 1>worry about make them hold the ball? Worry about Belichick

0:09:45.600 --> 0:09:48.320
<v Speaker 1>drawing something up to throw Bortles off? Though? I mean

0:09:48.360 --> 0:09:50.680
<v Speaker 1>this is that, Oh he's gonna make Bortles. He's gonna

0:09:50.679 --> 0:09:53.079
<v Speaker 1>make Bortles have to beat him. Yeah, he's gonna make that.

0:09:53.559 --> 0:09:56.160
<v Speaker 1>They did to the Titans. I mean they were like, Okay,

0:09:56.200 --> 0:09:59.160
<v Speaker 1>your defense is decent, but we're just gonna expose your

0:09:59.160 --> 0:10:03.600
<v Speaker 1>offense all day. Better not get in a forty five

0:10:03.760 --> 0:10:07.920
<v Speaker 1>forty two game with New England. Yeah, I'll see that,

0:10:08.000 --> 0:10:10.040
<v Speaker 1>but gosh, dang ro I mean the guy threw for

0:10:10.120 --> 0:10:13.400
<v Speaker 1>almost five hundred yards in Pittsburgh. I know. I mean

0:10:13.440 --> 0:10:15.920
<v Speaker 1>they got in a shootout game there and came out

0:10:15.920 --> 0:10:17.559
<v Speaker 1>of the other end. Where do you think it's harder

0:10:17.559 --> 0:10:20.880
<v Speaker 1>to play Hinesfield or New England? Well, New England playoffs.

0:10:21.120 --> 0:10:24.960
<v Speaker 1>But but you know, the Steelers got beat twice this

0:10:25.040 --> 0:10:27.960
<v Speaker 1>year by Jacksonville at home twice. I don't think that's

0:10:27.960 --> 0:10:31.679
<v Speaker 1>happened since been ten twelve years. Maybe I was shocked

0:10:31.679 --> 0:10:35.440
<v Speaker 1>that Pittsburgh couldn't stop their running game. Fournette was running

0:10:35.480 --> 0:10:37.720
<v Speaker 1>all over him till he got hurt, and they worries

0:10:37.720 --> 0:10:39.400
<v Speaker 1>about the same thing. That's where they went and got

0:10:39.440 --> 0:10:42.920
<v Speaker 1>that dead Harrison because I can't set the edge. He's

0:10:42.960 --> 0:10:45.760
<v Speaker 1>pretty good Fournett. Yeah, and you know it wasn't a

0:10:45.760 --> 0:10:50.280
<v Speaker 1>lot of big runs. It was that three four z yes. Yeah,

0:10:50.320 --> 0:10:52.560
<v Speaker 1>and it just kept pounding away when it should have

0:10:52.600 --> 0:10:55.440
<v Speaker 1>been one or two. Yeah, you're right, that's what I

0:10:55.480 --> 0:10:57.960
<v Speaker 1>thought of. It's like this is Zeke out there and

0:10:58.040 --> 0:11:00.720
<v Speaker 1>they never let him, rarely get to the outside. It

0:11:00.800 --> 0:11:03.760
<v Speaker 1>was all between the time Nate said it best defense

0:11:03.800 --> 0:11:08.000
<v Speaker 1>and running game travels. Jacksonville's got that because they got

0:11:08.040 --> 0:11:10.400
<v Speaker 1>a quarterback that won't turn the ball over. Though, Can

0:11:10.440 --> 0:11:12.679
<v Speaker 1>you bring your horn with you to the way game?

0:11:14.800 --> 0:11:17.000
<v Speaker 1>The horn the king? Oh, I don't want the Viking horn.

0:11:17.080 --> 0:11:20.040
<v Speaker 1>Oh that's miserable. I wonder so if they play there,

0:11:20.720 --> 0:11:22.520
<v Speaker 1>they're not allowed. They can't allowed to have that in

0:11:22.640 --> 0:11:25.080
<v Speaker 1>the supermow right, they don't even run things like all

0:11:25.120 --> 0:11:28.280
<v Speaker 1>their signing. Yeah, I heard they do. I do her.

0:11:28.360 --> 0:11:31.000
<v Speaker 1>I did hear they get to use their facility if

0:11:31.000 --> 0:11:33.360
<v Speaker 1>they play. Oh yeah, okay, they do get to use

0:11:33.400 --> 0:11:35.199
<v Speaker 1>their facility if they play. They don't have to give

0:11:35.240 --> 0:11:38.080
<v Speaker 1>it up like the Minnesota would probably be. The other

0:11:38.120 --> 0:11:40.480
<v Speaker 1>players there was last time. Yeah it was. And they

0:11:40.520 --> 0:11:42.600
<v Speaker 1>they've got a nice I think it's in the Ghirsky Center.

0:11:42.600 --> 0:11:45.240
<v Speaker 1>It's what they I hope it's new compared to the

0:11:45.280 --> 0:11:49.400
<v Speaker 1>one that the Bills. Oh it practiced in. Yeah, that

0:11:49.520 --> 0:11:54.080
<v Speaker 1>was an old like fieldhouse. Yeah, they've updated it. And

0:11:54.080 --> 0:11:56.480
<v Speaker 1>I've told you about how Buffalo was worried about the

0:11:57.640 --> 0:12:00.800
<v Speaker 1>at Southern cal The next year. Well, that year, there

0:12:00.920 --> 0:12:03.640
<v Speaker 1>was a row at the end of offices up on

0:12:03.679 --> 0:12:06.280
<v Speaker 1>the second floor. Sure, and they saw a light come

0:12:06.320 --> 0:12:09.440
<v Speaker 1>on in one of the offices, and they went ballistic.

0:12:09.480 --> 0:12:13.200
<v Speaker 1>It was the assistant coach's office for the University of Minnesota.

0:12:13.360 --> 0:12:16.040
<v Speaker 1>They went running up there to see who was spying

0:12:16.080 --> 0:12:18.920
<v Speaker 1>on who's doing it? Hey, the playbook got stolen from

0:12:18.920 --> 0:12:22.719
<v Speaker 1>Alabama last week, so you never know. Let's see Jacksonville

0:12:22.720 --> 0:12:25.800
<v Speaker 1>win this game. I really would. So you want Jacksonville Vikings?

0:12:25.880 --> 0:12:31.440
<v Speaker 1>Is that what you're calling it? Super Bowl? They're still

0:12:31.480 --> 0:12:33.880
<v Speaker 1>watch though, won't you? Yeah? I will say I think

0:12:33.880 --> 0:12:38.679
<v Speaker 1>I want Jags Eagles. That'd be if they're going to

0:12:38.720 --> 0:12:41.520
<v Speaker 1>get there, they better score more than fifteen points. Okay,

0:12:41.840 --> 0:12:45.680
<v Speaker 1>do it? Defense is nas have a cheese teak? Yeah? Philly.

0:12:46.040 --> 0:12:48.240
<v Speaker 1>You know so many people were against cheering for Philly

0:12:48.280 --> 0:12:50.880
<v Speaker 1>this past weekend, saying I could never root for them.

0:12:51.120 --> 0:12:54.280
<v Speaker 1>Why not, Brian, I know you're one of them. I

0:12:54.360 --> 0:12:56.560
<v Speaker 1>used to work there too, you did. Oh we have

0:12:56.720 --> 0:13:00.200
<v Speaker 1>footage of it and in the draft. Yeah. Yeah, Well,

0:15:32.600 --> 0:15:35.840
<v Speaker 1>Star in Frisco, just wondering who will be coaching for

0:15:35.920 --> 0:15:39.000
<v Speaker 1>the Dallas Cowboys next year. Yeah, different things, you know,

0:15:39.160 --> 0:15:42.000
<v Speaker 1>so many things happened last week. We had assumed Bisaccio

0:15:42.080 --> 0:15:46.040
<v Speaker 1>would be joining the crew with John Gruden in Oakland,

0:15:46.120 --> 0:15:49.800
<v Speaker 1>and that was confirmed when Gruden had his press conference.

0:15:49.880 --> 0:15:53.040
<v Speaker 1>And then now you know Pollock, we learned that on Friday,

0:15:53.080 --> 0:15:55.280
<v Speaker 1>I believe Friday was when that was announced that he

0:15:55.320 --> 0:15:59.440
<v Speaker 1>would be going up to the Bengals. Yeah, and then

0:15:59.520 --> 0:16:03.240
<v Speaker 1>Paula Xander came down here. And now last night, you know,

0:16:03.320 --> 0:16:07.440
<v Speaker 1>we see on Facebook, which is always a handy resource, Eberflus. Yeah,

0:16:07.680 --> 0:16:10.360
<v Speaker 1>most likely confirmed to head on up to be the

0:16:10.480 --> 0:16:14.360
<v Speaker 1>DC with a good old Josh McDaniels. So, yeah, at work,

0:16:15.000 --> 0:16:20.560
<v Speaker 1>Colts Colts, Yeah, Colts Colts. It's craziness around here, coaching craziness.

0:16:20.600 --> 0:16:22.800
<v Speaker 1>But they haven't announced that he got the job yet

0:16:22.880 --> 0:16:25.280
<v Speaker 1>right now, they've they've assume he's got it, though. Yeah,

0:16:25.280 --> 0:16:29.400
<v Speaker 1>they've told candidates that were attached to the job or

0:16:29.440 --> 0:16:31.880
<v Speaker 1>guys that interviewed that they're going in a different direction.

0:16:32.000 --> 0:16:34.320
<v Speaker 1>So they were kind of clearing the decks in case

0:16:34.320 --> 0:16:36.840
<v Speaker 1>those guys need to go get other jobs. They don't.

0:16:36.880 --> 0:16:39.200
<v Speaker 1>You don't want to hold somebody up and yeah, without

0:16:39.240 --> 0:16:42.280
<v Speaker 1>them having the opportunity. But it does sound like Matt's

0:16:42.280 --> 0:16:44.280
<v Speaker 1>going to go on, you know, and that's a great

0:16:44.280 --> 0:16:46.920
<v Speaker 1>opportunity for him if he becomes the defensive coordinator with

0:16:46.960 --> 0:16:50.400
<v Speaker 1>the Colts. Good for him. You know, I'm sure there's

0:16:50.440 --> 0:16:52.400
<v Speaker 1>some people out there saying, well, you know, why would

0:16:53.080 --> 0:16:54.760
<v Speaker 1>you know, why would you not make a move with

0:16:54.840 --> 0:16:57.600
<v Speaker 1>the guy here and do that, But you know, coach

0:16:57.680 --> 0:17:00.880
<v Speaker 1>is obviously a head coach, and ownership feels comfortable with

0:17:01.120 --> 0:17:03.840
<v Speaker 1>uh with coach Marinelli, So you're not going to make

0:17:03.880 --> 0:17:06.560
<v Speaker 1>a switch there. Got to figure that out, though, you know,

0:17:06.560 --> 0:17:10.120
<v Speaker 1>you gotta have some position coaches to h to hire.

0:17:10.280 --> 0:17:13.320
<v Speaker 1>It's uh, it's a lot of movement for a staff

0:17:13.320 --> 0:17:17.119
<v Speaker 1>that's retaining its head coach and two coordinators. Two coordinators.

0:17:17.160 --> 0:17:19.800
<v Speaker 1>I mean, it's it's uh. I made a little list

0:17:19.880 --> 0:17:21.840
<v Speaker 1>before we cut on the air, and it's like, you know,

0:17:22.160 --> 0:17:24.520
<v Speaker 1>six seven positions that are in flux right now. I mean,

0:17:24.560 --> 0:17:26.680
<v Speaker 1>you could just go down the list just one assistant

0:17:26.720 --> 0:17:29.960
<v Speaker 1>coming back? Is that all read us? The list? I

0:17:30.000 --> 0:17:33.919
<v Speaker 1>heard of Gary Brown, Gary Brown, Garry Brown. I had

0:17:34.000 --> 0:17:36.439
<v Speaker 1>heard before he even went to Oakland that they wanted

0:17:36.480 --> 0:17:38.720
<v Speaker 1>him back, absolutely yeah, and that he wanted to be

0:17:38.840 --> 0:17:41.480
<v Speaker 1>here right, had some opportunities dragged their feet, and it

0:17:41.560 --> 0:17:44.480
<v Speaker 1>was like he better watch out for himself. Houston was

0:17:44.480 --> 0:17:46.480
<v Speaker 1>a team that was in as well with him, and

0:17:46.520 --> 0:17:48.680
<v Speaker 1>then I know he got some interest from Penn State,

0:17:48.720 --> 0:17:51.920
<v Speaker 1>which is his alma mater. Oh really so yeah, so yeah,

0:17:52.000 --> 0:17:55.080
<v Speaker 1>that was kind of one of those things that, yeah,

0:17:55.440 --> 0:17:57.240
<v Speaker 1>you know, they're they're kind of taking their time on

0:17:57.520 --> 0:18:00.239
<v Speaker 1>this the search, which you know we thought that they right.

0:18:00.640 --> 0:18:03.399
<v Speaker 1>But Paul Alexander seems to be in the building. Gary

0:18:03.560 --> 0:18:06.920
<v Speaker 1>Brown will they had him in here for his interview

0:18:07.160 --> 0:18:12.560
<v Speaker 1>on Wednesday. What's your list? Um? What would okay said?

0:18:12.560 --> 0:18:15.200
<v Speaker 1>Gary Brown, Why would you need to interview Yeah, yeah,

0:18:14.960 --> 0:18:17.280
<v Speaker 1>and as of you know, over the weekend, it sounded

0:18:17.280 --> 0:18:19.720
<v Speaker 1>like he wasn't back in a return. Um, you can

0:18:19.760 --> 0:18:22.400
<v Speaker 1>just go down the list. Hey, Wade Wilson at quarterbacks coach,

0:18:22.440 --> 0:18:25.240
<v Speaker 1>we talked about him last week. They've got to replace him,

0:18:25.920 --> 0:18:27.960
<v Speaker 1>could be Kellen Moore, could be somebody with a little

0:18:28.000 --> 0:18:30.200
<v Speaker 1>more experience, and maybe Kellen has a role somewhere on

0:18:30.240 --> 0:18:32.679
<v Speaker 1>the staff. We'll have to see. They got to replace

0:18:32.680 --> 0:18:35.440
<v Speaker 1>Derek Dooley at wide receivers coach, tight ends coach Steve

0:18:35.560 --> 0:18:39.000
<v Speaker 1>Loani's retiring. We mentioned Paul Alexander. We can get into

0:18:39.080 --> 0:18:41.880
<v Speaker 1>him a little bit um. And then there's some question

0:18:41.920 --> 0:18:44.320
<v Speaker 1>on the defensive side of the staff. Joe Baker Greg

0:18:44.400 --> 0:18:49.080
<v Speaker 1>Jackson reportedly have expiring contracts. There's been reports that you know,

0:18:49.160 --> 0:18:52.600
<v Speaker 1>Baker's not expected to come back, not confirmed by the Cowboys.

0:18:52.600 --> 0:18:54.240
<v Speaker 1>And then we talked about Eber Flu So, I mean

0:18:54.280 --> 0:18:57.640
<v Speaker 1>it's you know, it's a long list for Garrett to address.

0:18:58.160 --> 0:19:00.359
<v Speaker 1>How much credit would you give Ebert flu for the

0:19:00.400 --> 0:19:04.119
<v Speaker 1>development of Anthony Hitchins. I think he was one of

0:19:04.160 --> 0:19:06.720
<v Speaker 1>the guys involved in bringing Anthony Hitchins here on the

0:19:06.760 --> 0:19:11.040
<v Speaker 1>workouts and stuff like that. I I like what you know,

0:19:11.119 --> 0:19:14.040
<v Speaker 1>Matt has always had a good relationship with those linebackers.

0:19:14.040 --> 0:19:16.520
<v Speaker 1>I mean talking to Sean Lee about him. I know, Sean,

0:19:16.720 --> 0:19:19.800
<v Speaker 1>He's always shown so positive to begin with. But you know,

0:19:19.840 --> 0:19:22.080
<v Speaker 1>I think they really liked Matt. Matt's a tough guy.

0:19:22.119 --> 0:19:25.280
<v Speaker 1>We've all watched Matt coach at out in training camp.

0:19:25.840 --> 0:19:28.680
<v Speaker 1>He's very vocal. He's in your face, you know, he's

0:19:28.800 --> 0:19:31.520
<v Speaker 1>he appeared to me and watching him how he worked

0:19:31.560 --> 0:19:34.480
<v Speaker 1>with Rod Marinelli was a little bit of a sounding board,

0:19:34.760 --> 0:19:36.760
<v Speaker 1>you know. There was you know when you watched how

0:19:37.560 --> 0:19:39.880
<v Speaker 1>the plays or the defensive calls went in, they went

0:19:39.920 --> 0:19:43.159
<v Speaker 1>through Eberflus to get to the field. So yeah, there

0:19:43.160 --> 0:19:46.440
<v Speaker 1>are a lot of I feel like that that they're

0:19:46.480 --> 0:19:48.760
<v Speaker 1>losing a guy that they they had a lot of

0:19:48.800 --> 0:19:51.600
<v Speaker 1>respect for, you know, to your point, he was he

0:19:51.800 --> 0:19:54.919
<v Speaker 1>got that passing game coordinator title before last season, so

0:19:54.960 --> 0:19:56.960
<v Speaker 1>he was involved in kind of that. They're trying to

0:19:57.000 --> 0:19:59.720
<v Speaker 1>shore up the communication between the front seven and the

0:19:59.760 --> 0:20:01.320
<v Speaker 1>secon and Darry and you know, by the end of

0:20:01.320 --> 0:20:03.200
<v Speaker 1>the season, with those young players back there, they did

0:20:03.200 --> 0:20:05.960
<v Speaker 1>a nice job. Yeah, so everybody kind of felt has

0:20:05.960 --> 0:20:08.760
<v Speaker 1>felt like he's been the air apparent for Rod, but

0:20:09.280 --> 0:20:12.000
<v Speaker 1>you know it's looking like maybe it's not heading that way. Well,

0:20:12.920 --> 0:20:16.040
<v Speaker 1>I was thinking maybe they can with Besacchi leaving, they

0:20:16.040 --> 0:20:18.760
<v Speaker 1>can entice him to stay and name him assistant head

0:20:18.800 --> 0:20:22.720
<v Speaker 1>coach and stay at linebacker kind of a in a

0:20:22.800 --> 0:20:26.320
<v Speaker 1>place setting until Rod decides he wants to retire. But

0:20:27.000 --> 0:20:29.800
<v Speaker 1>you know last year he had some feelers too in

0:20:29.840 --> 0:20:32.800
<v Speaker 1>the Frans Cisco Cowboys didn't let him interview, right, So

0:20:32.960 --> 0:20:36.480
<v Speaker 1>you had a feeling with an expiring contract that if

0:20:36.480 --> 0:20:40.119
<v Speaker 1>somebody came after him with the same opportunity, that he

0:20:40.160 --> 0:20:43.080
<v Speaker 1>would take it. I'm just and I'm not talking out

0:20:43.080 --> 0:20:44.760
<v Speaker 1>of turn here, I don't believe, but you got to

0:20:44.840 --> 0:20:48.240
<v Speaker 1>look at your situation with these coaches and really, what's

0:20:49.119 --> 0:20:51.320
<v Speaker 1>what's ahead for Jason Garrett. This is is an important year

0:20:51.320 --> 0:20:53.639
<v Speaker 1>for Jason Garrett going forward. How does it How do

0:20:53.680 --> 0:20:57.199
<v Speaker 1>you think that impact? It does? Because because coaches, I

0:20:57.240 --> 0:20:59.320
<v Speaker 1>know I'm asking you what you're saying, No, I think

0:20:59.320 --> 0:21:02.879
<v Speaker 1>it does. I think that coaches look at situations and say, okay,

0:21:03.160 --> 0:21:05.440
<v Speaker 1>do I you know coaches that don't have a job

0:21:05.760 --> 0:21:08.879
<v Speaker 1>or out of contract, you want to keep your name active,

0:21:08.960 --> 0:21:10.959
<v Speaker 1>you want to keep coaching. You know, whether you make

0:21:11.000 --> 0:21:13.800
<v Speaker 1>a one year stop in Dallas and then it turns

0:21:13.800 --> 0:21:16.879
<v Speaker 1>into four years at the Colts or three years with

0:21:16.920 --> 0:21:19.000
<v Speaker 1>the Buccaneers, whoever. But you got to keep your name

0:21:19.040 --> 0:21:22.280
<v Speaker 1>in the minute you fall out, people forget about you,

0:21:22.359 --> 0:21:24.399
<v Speaker 1>out of sight, out of mind, unless you're North Turner

0:21:24.440 --> 0:21:26.919
<v Speaker 1>in Carolina. That that was a little bit of a

0:21:26.920 --> 0:21:30.600
<v Speaker 1>shocker there to me. But coaches see, you know, they

0:21:30.640 --> 0:21:33.000
<v Speaker 1>see like, Okay, if I can move on and get

0:21:33.040 --> 0:21:35.919
<v Speaker 1>three more years, get four more years, that'll make me. Oh,

0:21:35.920 --> 0:21:38.280
<v Speaker 1>I'll be fifty seven years old, fifty eight, I'll have

0:21:38.400 --> 0:21:41.840
<v Speaker 1>enough money. I'll have the Lakehouse paid for down in Austin, Texas,

0:21:41.920 --> 0:21:43.920
<v Speaker 1>and I can just if I get let go, I

0:21:43.960 --> 0:21:46.200
<v Speaker 1>could just go be that guy. John Gruden just got

0:21:46.200 --> 0:21:48.719
<v Speaker 1>a ten year contract in Oakland, so he's going anywhere.

0:21:49.160 --> 0:21:51.720
<v Speaker 1>Not the garretted but Andy and they had to four

0:21:51.760 --> 0:21:53.600
<v Speaker 1>and they had to make the contracts with these guys

0:21:53.600 --> 0:21:55.800
<v Speaker 1>where it's like two years in Oakland and two years

0:21:55.800 --> 0:21:59.640
<v Speaker 1>in Las Vegas. So yeah, I mean you're looking at security,

0:21:59.640 --> 0:22:02.760
<v Speaker 1>You're to think, how can I you know, let's be honest,

0:22:03.320 --> 0:22:06.320
<v Speaker 1>this will be a job that if there's not success,

0:22:06.840 --> 0:22:10.000
<v Speaker 1>at least getting into the playoffs, that that will be

0:22:10.080 --> 0:22:13.240
<v Speaker 1>under scrutiny as will there be a change, which means

0:22:13.280 --> 0:22:18.119
<v Speaker 1>if these guys that are available for jobs have an opportunity,

0:22:18.359 --> 0:22:21.080
<v Speaker 1>like two, where are you going? Yeah, you're going to

0:22:21.160 --> 0:22:23.639
<v Speaker 1>go somewhere where a new head coach just got hired

0:22:23.640 --> 0:22:25.879
<v Speaker 1>and has a four year contract. Or are you're going

0:22:25.920 --> 0:22:29.639
<v Speaker 1>to go somewhere where everybody's saying you know, and maybe

0:22:29.640 --> 0:22:33.240
<v Speaker 1>nobody in the organization, but the media is point pointing out, yeah,

0:22:33.680 --> 0:22:36.720
<v Speaker 1>oh if he doesn't do this, Yeah, you're gonna take

0:22:36.760 --> 0:22:38.800
<v Speaker 1>that chance. Yeah, now if you if you don't have

0:22:38.800 --> 0:22:41.879
<v Speaker 1>another opportunity, you will. But if you got to weigh

0:22:41.880 --> 0:22:45.480
<v Speaker 1>a decision, that's going to factor in that. And and money,

0:22:45.600 --> 0:22:47.679
<v Speaker 1>give me the security, give me the way that I

0:22:47.680 --> 0:22:50.640
<v Speaker 1>can continue on. I understand. Hey, there's those guys here

0:22:50.640 --> 0:22:52.520
<v Speaker 1>that don't want to leave. I mean, they don't want

0:22:52.520 --> 0:22:54.640
<v Speaker 1>to lead. Their contracts are up, and they've they've made

0:22:54.640 --> 0:22:58.280
<v Speaker 1>a choice. The organization is made a choice. And then

0:22:58.280 --> 0:23:01.040
<v Speaker 1>there's some guys that they made choice. For you. We

0:23:01.080 --> 0:23:03.399
<v Speaker 1>talked about Joe Baker. I don't think Joe Baker wanted

0:23:03.400 --> 0:23:05.840
<v Speaker 1>to leave, but you know he was. They're not bringing

0:23:05.880 --> 0:23:07.560
<v Speaker 1>him back We talked about this a little bit, and

0:23:07.560 --> 0:23:10.399
<v Speaker 1>it's different circumstances at my alma mater and m but

0:23:10.520 --> 0:23:13.360
<v Speaker 1>Jimbo Fisher, now he got major money to go somewhere else.

0:23:13.359 --> 0:23:16.240
<v Speaker 1>But it was also an opportunity where you know, Florida State,

0:23:16.760 --> 0:23:19.040
<v Speaker 1>maybe you could get fired next year, could be you know,

0:23:19.119 --> 0:23:20.320
<v Speaker 1>and now all of a sudden he's got a ten

0:23:20.359 --> 0:23:22.119
<v Speaker 1>year opportunity. It ain't it. Not that it's a better

0:23:22.240 --> 0:23:24.680
<v Speaker 1>job than Florida State, but it was an opportunity for security.

0:23:24.880 --> 0:23:27.920
<v Speaker 1>Not that anything is truly guaranteeding coaching though sometimes no,

0:23:28.040 --> 0:23:30.560
<v Speaker 1>not at all, year to year pretty much for coaches, Yeah,

0:23:30.600 --> 0:23:33.720
<v Speaker 1>operate under that. No, you gotta win. It's a replacement business. Yeah.

0:23:33.720 --> 0:23:36.119
<v Speaker 1>So tell me about Paul Alexander. You know, he is

0:23:36.160 --> 0:23:39.280
<v Speaker 1>confirmed to be the new ALIGNE coach here, pretty much

0:23:39.320 --> 0:23:42.400
<v Speaker 1>the new official hire that we have so far down

0:23:42.440 --> 0:23:45.120
<v Speaker 1>that list. What should we know about him? Go ahead,

0:23:45.160 --> 0:23:48.320
<v Speaker 1>mc no, I was gonna say, have they made the announcement? Yes? Here.

0:23:49.119 --> 0:23:52.600
<v Speaker 1>I don't think it's official yet official title. I think

0:23:53.080 --> 0:23:56.160
<v Speaker 1>he's supposed to be here, presumably to run the old line.

0:23:56.200 --> 0:23:58.520
<v Speaker 1>As Taste said, I think Mark Colombo is still going

0:23:58.560 --> 0:24:01.639
<v Speaker 1>to have a role and something prominent on the staff,

0:24:01.680 --> 0:24:04.040
<v Speaker 1>whether it's still assistant or line coach. Maybe it's another

0:24:04.280 --> 0:24:06.800
<v Speaker 1>position on staff. But I think you can count on

0:24:06.880 --> 0:24:08.840
<v Speaker 1>him being there because he was in the mix to

0:24:08.920 --> 0:24:12.719
<v Speaker 1>maybe take over for Pollock. But yeah, I think you know,

0:24:12.840 --> 0:24:15.720
<v Speaker 1>he's this guy ran the Bengals a line for twenty

0:24:15.760 --> 0:24:17.960
<v Speaker 1>three years. He's got a lot of experience and kind

0:24:17.960 --> 0:24:20.080
<v Speaker 1>of what Brian spoke about on our show last week,

0:24:20.640 --> 0:24:24.680
<v Speaker 1>bring some ideas, some new ideas, yeah, viewpoint of things

0:24:24.720 --> 0:24:27.040
<v Speaker 1>coming from the outside on how to maybe you know,

0:24:27.240 --> 0:24:29.720
<v Speaker 1>improve what they're doing with the run game, with the

0:24:29.760 --> 0:24:31.840
<v Speaker 1>past protection, all that kind of stuff. He learned under

0:24:32.000 --> 0:24:33.720
<v Speaker 1>when I first started the league. He learned under a

0:24:33.720 --> 0:24:37.160
<v Speaker 1>line coach named Jim McNally. Who is it. Yeah, Jim

0:24:37.240 --> 0:24:40.080
<v Speaker 1>McNally is a was a very successful coach with the

0:24:40.080 --> 0:24:43.119
<v Speaker 1>Bengals when in the Boomers, Sias and Era. Uh. You know,

0:24:43.160 --> 0:24:45.560
<v Speaker 1>if you look at Anthony Muno's guys like that, you know,

0:24:45.600 --> 0:24:48.520
<v Speaker 1>he coached a lot of those guys and Paul Alexander

0:24:48.600 --> 0:24:52.760
<v Speaker 1>came in and learned from him. Again, you know, he's

0:24:52.760 --> 0:24:55.160
<v Speaker 1>a guy that's a little bit more They talk about,

0:24:55.200 --> 0:24:58.280
<v Speaker 1>you know, power schemes and zone schemes and stuff like that.

0:24:58.960 --> 0:25:01.600
<v Speaker 1>I wouldn't worry so much much about that. Paul Alexander

0:25:01.680 --> 0:25:04.120
<v Speaker 1>can adapt to whatever scheme they want him to run.

0:25:04.160 --> 0:25:06.920
<v Speaker 1>If it's going to be his own scheme, he coaches

0:25:07.000 --> 0:25:09.399
<v Speaker 1>do it with the players that they have. If you know,

0:25:09.520 --> 0:25:12.280
<v Speaker 1>he obviously came in and said hey listen. You know

0:25:12.359 --> 0:25:15.480
<v Speaker 1>Jason Garrett and scotland Ham when they interviewed him last week,

0:25:15.920 --> 0:25:18.159
<v Speaker 1>they said, hey, listen, this is what we do. And

0:25:18.280 --> 0:25:20.800
<v Speaker 1>Paul says, well, this is this is what I've used

0:25:20.800 --> 0:25:23.600
<v Speaker 1>to do at Cincinnati. Yeah, and this is how you know.

0:25:23.640 --> 0:25:25.840
<v Speaker 1>And a lot of it has to do with when

0:25:25.880 --> 0:25:28.680
<v Speaker 1>you don't have the personnel to do what you want

0:25:28.680 --> 0:25:31.400
<v Speaker 1>to do, you have to adapt. You have to adapt

0:25:31.400 --> 0:25:34.680
<v Speaker 1>your personnel to the scheme in order to have success.

0:25:35.160 --> 0:25:37.320
<v Speaker 1>And I think that if you look at Paul Alexander,

0:25:37.680 --> 0:25:39.560
<v Speaker 1>he will be so happy to walk out on that

0:25:39.600 --> 0:25:42.600
<v Speaker 1>practice field and know that he's got three Pro Bowl

0:25:42.640 --> 0:25:46.520
<v Speaker 1>players and one potentially at right tackle that could be

0:25:46.600 --> 0:25:49.040
<v Speaker 1>on the cusp of being that guy, the next guy,

0:25:49.080 --> 0:25:51.200
<v Speaker 1>the next to the four, and then now let's figure

0:25:51.240 --> 0:25:53.399
<v Speaker 1>out who's playing left guard. It's going to be a

0:25:53.720 --> 0:25:56.760
<v Speaker 1>really a good opportunity for him to come in and

0:25:56.920 --> 0:25:59.600
<v Speaker 1>have that ability to kind of mold the group. He's

0:25:59.640 --> 0:26:01.760
<v Speaker 1>not going to sit there and try and reinvent the wheel.

0:26:02.080 --> 0:26:05.520
<v Speaker 1>That's not that's not the plan. The plan is to say, Okay,

0:26:05.760 --> 0:26:08.040
<v Speaker 1>what can I see in my guys that will be

0:26:08.119 --> 0:26:11.119
<v Speaker 1>different than you know, what he had in Cincinnati because

0:26:11.320 --> 0:26:13.760
<v Speaker 1>he can come with ideas about how to run the football,

0:26:13.960 --> 0:26:15.840
<v Speaker 1>how to have some success. Look at what they go.

0:26:16.160 --> 0:26:18.280
<v Speaker 1>You can go all the way back to some of

0:26:18.280 --> 0:26:20.280
<v Speaker 1>the backs that they have, and I know people have said, oh,

0:26:20.280 --> 0:26:22.520
<v Speaker 1>they finished in the bottom half of rushing and some

0:26:22.720 --> 0:26:26.080
<v Speaker 1>you know, look at the personnel. When they had guys

0:26:26.080 --> 0:26:29.080
<v Speaker 1>that were you know, when they had top talent lineman,

0:26:29.760 --> 0:26:31.920
<v Speaker 1>they were good. They were good at running the football.

0:26:32.080 --> 0:26:34.080
<v Speaker 1>You know, you get I you know, you go all

0:26:34.080 --> 0:26:36.520
<v Speaker 1>the way back. I mean, the Bengals have had some

0:26:36.600 --> 0:26:40.280
<v Speaker 1>backs come through there, the Ruddy Johnson's and Corey Dillons

0:26:40.280 --> 0:26:42.680
<v Speaker 1>of the world. They've had guys that have run the football.

0:26:43.000 --> 0:26:45.520
<v Speaker 1>And not not just high level guy. I mean, they've

0:26:45.520 --> 0:26:49.280
<v Speaker 1>had guys. So to say that, oh, Paul Alexander, it's

0:26:49.280 --> 0:26:52.080
<v Speaker 1>a bad higher dat I don't. I don't agree with that.

0:26:52.600 --> 0:26:55.800
<v Speaker 1>I will say this though, if Paul Alexander and this

0:26:55.840 --> 0:26:59.160
<v Speaker 1>group fails, then you can complain about somebody else next year.

0:26:59.200 --> 0:27:01.760
<v Speaker 1>I'll say that, but I think you have to give

0:27:01.760 --> 0:27:06.040
<v Speaker 1>Paul Alexander chance again. I respect what he's done in

0:27:06.119 --> 0:27:08.480
<v Speaker 1>his career and then what he who he learned from

0:27:08.600 --> 0:27:10.560
<v Speaker 1>with Jim McNally. I think Jim mcnalley is one of

0:27:10.560 --> 0:27:12.520
<v Speaker 1>the best line coaches I've ever seen. I think it

0:27:12.560 --> 0:27:16.159
<v Speaker 1>was a situation too where they changed offensive coordinators in

0:27:16.200 --> 0:27:19.080
<v Speaker 1>Cincinnati mid season, brought in Bill Laser. Did a nice

0:27:19.160 --> 0:27:21.360
<v Speaker 1>job down the same zen, wasn't it. Yeah, a few

0:27:21.359 --> 0:27:24.840
<v Speaker 1>games were Ken Zampaz, Yeah, yes, and yeah yes, they

0:27:25.200 --> 0:27:27.000
<v Speaker 1>got shut out like two games in a row and

0:27:27.040 --> 0:27:29.320
<v Speaker 1>they fired him, right and Brian mentioned it. They did

0:27:29.320 --> 0:27:32.080
<v Speaker 1>struggle running the ball, and I think Paul was kind

0:27:32.119 --> 0:27:34.560
<v Speaker 1>in charge of that part of the operation and maybe,

0:27:34.560 --> 0:27:36.520
<v Speaker 1>you know, they just wanted he wanted his own guy

0:27:36.560 --> 0:27:39.280
<v Speaker 1>in there, you know. But you can't argue with the experience.

0:27:39.320 --> 0:27:41.879
<v Speaker 1>And you got to have players in this league. And

0:27:42.000 --> 0:27:45.200
<v Speaker 1>if there's no players, when when they're healthy, When Tyrant's healthy,

0:27:45.240 --> 0:27:47.040
<v Speaker 1>he's as good as it is in the league. I

0:27:47.560 --> 0:27:49.959
<v Speaker 1>could say. I think that everybody needs to take a

0:27:50.000 --> 0:27:53.480
<v Speaker 1>step back and let this thing play out, you know,

0:27:53.560 --> 0:27:56.359
<v Speaker 1>and and I think it's important for Jason Garrett. I

0:27:56.560 --> 0:27:59.560
<v Speaker 1>mean to me, I look at this, I would rather

0:27:59.640 --> 0:28:02.840
<v Speaker 1>have veteran coaches come in here that do have some

0:28:02.920 --> 0:28:06.800
<v Speaker 1>different ideas. Nothing against young guy, nothing against Mark Colombo,

0:28:07.200 --> 0:28:10.280
<v Speaker 1>but let Mark Colombo learn another year. So let him learn,

0:28:10.359 --> 0:28:12.399
<v Speaker 1>you know, and if if things work out, you know,

0:28:12.600 --> 0:28:15.040
<v Speaker 1>maybe maybe you lose Mark Colombo. Maybe you don't want

0:28:15.040 --> 0:28:18.560
<v Speaker 1>to lose Mark Colombo. But I think that in just saying, okay,

0:28:18.880 --> 0:28:20.760
<v Speaker 1>elevate this guy, elevate this guy, and you have the

0:28:20.840 --> 0:28:23.720
<v Speaker 1>same thing. No, no, yeah, because I'm thinking about some

0:28:23.760 --> 0:28:26.160
<v Speaker 1>other young guys that are helping on certain position groups.

0:28:26.160 --> 0:28:29.080
<v Speaker 1>Of course, Kyle Valero has been with Duelly since I

0:28:29.119 --> 0:28:31.879
<v Speaker 1>think Dully got here. Yeah. I mean, and if you

0:28:31.960 --> 0:28:34.679
<v Speaker 1>if you talk to people about Kyle Valero, he is

0:28:34.760 --> 0:28:39.280
<v Speaker 1>really Scott Linahan's caddy. I mean Scott Linahan. There's certain coaches,

0:28:39.280 --> 0:28:42.400
<v Speaker 1>and I mean this in respect, there's certain coaches that

0:28:42.520 --> 0:28:46.360
<v Speaker 1>need guys underneath them that get practice, ready to get

0:28:46.360 --> 0:28:48.239
<v Speaker 1>the you know, the cards, ready to get to the

0:28:48.240 --> 0:28:51.360
<v Speaker 1>film ready. You have to have guys like that. You

0:28:51.440 --> 0:28:54.120
<v Speaker 1>have to have young guys that are the grinder guys.

0:28:54.200 --> 0:28:55.960
<v Speaker 1>I'll give you an example. I talked about him earlier.

0:28:55.960 --> 0:28:58.520
<v Speaker 1>Sean Payton. I was on a staff in Philadelphia. Sean

0:28:58.640 --> 0:29:04.160
<v Speaker 1>Payton was John Gruden's caddy at Philadelphia. Sean was responsible

0:29:04.200 --> 0:29:07.520
<v Speaker 1>for everything to get practice ready, the film ready, the

0:29:07.600 --> 0:29:11.200
<v Speaker 1>meeting ready, all that. You know, you have to see there,

0:29:11.280 --> 0:29:14.200
<v Speaker 1>you have to be there. Yeah, so you know that's

0:29:14.360 --> 0:29:17.240
<v Speaker 1>that you need guys like that. But if you're elevating

0:29:17.280 --> 0:29:20.560
<v Speaker 1>a bunch of guys that might not have the experience,

0:29:20.600 --> 0:29:22.320
<v Speaker 1>I mean, that's a little bit of a different That's

0:29:22.360 --> 0:29:24.760
<v Speaker 1>the thing. I mean, if I'm a fan, I'm thinking, well,

0:29:24.760 --> 0:29:26.840
<v Speaker 1>why elevate a bunch of guys. Have a bunch of

0:29:26.840 --> 0:29:28.560
<v Speaker 1>young guys. I don't mind one or two guys, but

0:29:28.640 --> 0:29:31.200
<v Speaker 1>if you had the whole staff of young guys, you

0:29:31.280 --> 0:29:33.440
<v Speaker 1>might not get the same ideas. And I do think

0:29:33.480 --> 0:29:35.920
<v Speaker 1>you could see an assistant or to be promoted here

0:29:37.080 --> 0:29:39.560
<v Speaker 1>to the guys that are well respected on the staff,

0:29:39.600 --> 0:29:41.520
<v Speaker 1>that have a shot at it. Sure, But but yeah,

0:29:41.520 --> 0:29:43.640
<v Speaker 1>I do think they're obviously with Paul Exander, they're looking

0:29:43.640 --> 0:29:46.640
<v Speaker 1>outside the organization, looking at ways they can fix things

0:29:46.680 --> 0:29:48.800
<v Speaker 1>and experience. I mean, the guy was in you know,

0:29:48.960 --> 0:29:51.400
<v Speaker 1>twenty five years with one organization. I think that says

0:29:51.400 --> 0:29:53.920
<v Speaker 1>a lot about him. Plus he played, yeah, and he

0:29:53.960 --> 0:29:56.960
<v Speaker 1>was assistant head coach also, so he's got a lot

0:29:57.000 --> 0:30:02.080
<v Speaker 1>of experience, you know. And sometimes it's not always bad

0:30:02.120 --> 0:30:05.840
<v Speaker 1>to have some different voices, no, because if you if

0:30:05.840 --> 0:30:09.600
<v Speaker 1>you keep this and I know Tom Landry did wonderful

0:30:09.680 --> 0:30:13.760
<v Speaker 1>with basically his same staff forever. But sometimes you got

0:30:13.760 --> 0:30:15.960
<v Speaker 1>to get in some new ideas and a new voice.

0:30:15.960 --> 0:30:19.920
<v Speaker 1>And I think guys react when there's a new position coach.

0:30:20.640 --> 0:30:23.440
<v Speaker 1>Think about when you played and you got a new

0:30:23.480 --> 0:30:26.000
<v Speaker 1>coach or you moved to the next level. How hard

0:30:26.040 --> 0:30:29.640
<v Speaker 1>did you try to impress the new coach? Right? And

0:30:29.960 --> 0:30:32.400
<v Speaker 1>you know, sometimes when you get the same voice all

0:30:32.400 --> 0:30:34.959
<v Speaker 1>the time, you take it for granted, and so you

0:30:34.960 --> 0:30:38.480
<v Speaker 1>know this might you never know, it might juice them. Now,

0:30:38.640 --> 0:30:41.719
<v Speaker 1>from a continuity standpoint, you hate to do almost the

0:30:41.920 --> 0:30:45.480
<v Speaker 1>entire staff if you just have Gary Brown coming back,

0:30:45.560 --> 0:30:49.120
<v Speaker 1>Mark Colombo, Leon Lett. But other than that, it's it's

0:30:49.160 --> 0:30:51.520
<v Speaker 1>all changing. And yeah, you got to find a special

0:30:51.520 --> 0:30:55.200
<v Speaker 1>teams coach. I think Brian mentioned players and you've got zekes.

0:30:55.440 --> 0:30:57.959
<v Speaker 1>The running game should be the running game here, not

0:30:58.040 --> 0:31:00.120
<v Speaker 1>saying that coaching doesn't matter, but I think with with

0:31:00.240 --> 0:31:03.520
<v Speaker 1>Zeke in place, they're going to run the football. Pass protection,

0:31:03.520 --> 0:31:05.360
<v Speaker 1>to me is the biggest thing. Mickey spoken to that

0:31:06.280 --> 0:31:09.800
<v Speaker 1>down the stretch. Dak got twenty two of his thirty

0:31:09.800 --> 0:31:12.080
<v Speaker 1>two sacks in the final eight games of the season.

0:31:12.120 --> 0:31:14.480
<v Speaker 1>They've got to find a way to fix that. With

0:31:14.560 --> 0:31:16.760
<v Speaker 1>Tyrn Smith on the field, you hope he's playing sixteen

0:31:16.760 --> 0:31:19.400
<v Speaker 1>games next year, but without him, maybe that's a depth thing.

0:31:19.440 --> 0:31:23.000
<v Speaker 1>Maybe you gotta get better personnel potentially, but maybe there's

0:31:23.080 --> 0:31:25.440
<v Speaker 1>that's a coaching thing too. Can you find ways to

0:31:25.560 --> 0:31:27.959
<v Speaker 1>scheme things up and do a better job of protecting

0:31:27.960 --> 0:31:31.040
<v Speaker 1>your quarterback? We'll see no doubt. I mean, you're talking

0:31:31.080 --> 0:31:34.360
<v Speaker 1>about elevating guys with young, young guys. Kellen Moore's in

0:31:34.400 --> 0:31:37.760
<v Speaker 1>the mix obviously for Wade Wilson's jobs or by coach,

0:31:37.800 --> 0:31:40.800
<v Speaker 1>and then last week we heard Miles Austin's name thrown

0:31:40.880 --> 0:31:43.760
<v Speaker 1>around a little bit for Dooley's spot. What do you

0:31:43.800 --> 0:31:47.480
<v Speaker 1>guys think about that. I think that there was a

0:31:47.520 --> 0:31:51.520
<v Speaker 1>lot of speculation on a lot of guys being elevated,

0:31:52.080 --> 0:31:56.640
<v Speaker 1>and my understanding was they were going to make an

0:31:56.640 --> 0:32:00.440
<v Speaker 1>extensive search for guys that were availed bull and he

0:32:00.640 --> 0:32:04.240
<v Speaker 1>wasn't going to be just this automatic rising of guys

0:32:04.240 --> 0:32:06.600
<v Speaker 1>that have been helping out like they're candidates, they're they're

0:32:06.640 --> 0:32:09.960
<v Speaker 1>getting looks. But by the end about Miles was he

0:32:10.080 --> 0:32:14.280
<v Speaker 1>coached the year as he coached, he's been on the

0:32:14.720 --> 0:32:18.240
<v Speaker 1>personnel side. Yeah, yeah, assistant. Yeah, so you know, maybe

0:32:18.280 --> 0:32:23.200
<v Speaker 1>he gets maybe he moves from assist the personnel department

0:32:23.200 --> 0:32:25.960
<v Speaker 1>and they make him like Leon started, Yeah, you're the

0:32:26.000 --> 0:32:30.560
<v Speaker 1>assistant assistant wide receivers coach. But I don't know that

0:32:30.600 --> 0:32:34.360
<v Speaker 1>he could run a room. Yeah. I just think overall though,

0:32:34.560 --> 0:32:36.000
<v Speaker 1>and I don't mean I hate to be get off

0:32:36.000 --> 0:32:39.080
<v Speaker 1>my lawn. Yeah, back of the day guy. But when

0:32:39.080 --> 0:32:41.360
<v Speaker 1>I started in this league in nineteen ninety two, these

0:32:41.360 --> 0:32:44.400
<v Speaker 1>coaching staffs were really small, and to be honest with

0:32:44.520 --> 0:32:46.880
<v Speaker 1>I think they were better, you know, because guys had

0:32:46.880 --> 0:32:49.640
<v Speaker 1>to coach their position. You know, Now you have assistance

0:32:49.680 --> 0:32:53.800
<v Speaker 1>to the assistance going any going any team's website, and

0:32:53.800 --> 0:32:56.360
<v Speaker 1>look at all the assistant coaches to assistant coaches to

0:32:56.440 --> 0:33:01.320
<v Speaker 1>assistant coaches. You know, give me the to me. It's

0:33:01.400 --> 0:33:04.440
<v Speaker 1>it's when the staffs were smaller, you did you had

0:33:04.480 --> 0:33:08.600
<v Speaker 1>guys like Butch Davis, Robert Ford, you know, Dave Wanstead,

0:33:08.680 --> 0:33:11.440
<v Speaker 1>Dave Campbell. You had, you had guys coaching positions. You

0:33:11.440 --> 0:33:14.120
<v Speaker 1>didn't have a bunch of other assistance guys. You had

0:33:14.200 --> 0:33:16.840
<v Speaker 1>these guys that were locked in and the players were

0:33:17.160 --> 0:33:20.120
<v Speaker 1>not formed off to another guy. They were coached by,

0:33:20.360 --> 0:33:23.440
<v Speaker 1>you know, they were coached by Dave Wanstead or Butch Davis.

0:33:23.440 --> 0:33:25.640
<v Speaker 1>So those guys and they didn't have anybody else to

0:33:25.720 --> 0:33:27.920
<v Speaker 1>go cry on their shoulder if they didn't like with

0:33:27.960 --> 0:33:31.600
<v Speaker 1>the assistant coach. Exactly, exactly. You always get another sounding

0:33:31.640 --> 0:33:33.520
<v Speaker 1>board when you have too many of those game. Good

0:33:33.520 --> 0:33:36.400
<v Speaker 1>players make good coaches. Yeah, well, I'm sure there will

0:33:36.440 --> 0:33:39.200
<v Speaker 1>be much to learn about this week as we continue

0:33:39.200 --> 0:33:42.120
<v Speaker 1>on hearing about the coaching changes here. When we come back,

0:33:42.320 --> 0:33:44.480
<v Speaker 1>we will have Rob's Twitter pool and we'll get into

0:33:44.520 --> 0:33:47.880

0:35:55.239 --> 0:35:58.320
<v Speaker 1>it's cold outside, nothing better than a good hot Papa

0:35:58.440 --> 0:36:03.120
<v Speaker 1>John's pizza, especially with those ingredients that they have with

0:36:03.360 --> 0:36:07.759
<v Speaker 1>fresh vegetables, one hundred percent pork and beef, pepperoni, and

0:36:07.880 --> 0:36:10.640
<v Speaker 1>best of all, if you were watching the games on

0:36:10.680 --> 0:36:14.799
<v Speaker 1>Saturday and Sunday, you can still buy one, get one free.

0:36:14.840 --> 0:36:19.640
<v Speaker 1>It's Papa Jones. Good stop, all right, Robert, all right,

0:36:21.160 --> 0:36:23.080
<v Speaker 1>it's kind of weird to just have one a week, now,

0:36:23.480 --> 0:36:25.719
<v Speaker 1>I know. But so I'm trying to pack in a

0:36:25.719 --> 0:36:28.040
<v Speaker 1>lot of discussion in one point. We'll get to free

0:36:28.040 --> 0:36:30.120
<v Speaker 1>agency here in the coming weeks. But I thought it'd

0:36:30.160 --> 0:36:34.080
<v Speaker 1>be interesting to throw this past you guys. Besides DeMarcus

0:36:34.120 --> 0:36:37.520
<v Speaker 1>Lawrence and Anthony Hitchins. We know the Cowboys want to

0:36:37.560 --> 0:36:41.200
<v Speaker 1>bring those guys back. David Irving's a restricted free agent.

0:36:41.840 --> 0:36:44.880
<v Speaker 1>Which of these unrestricted free agents to be? Do you

0:36:44.880 --> 0:36:48.319
<v Speaker 1>guys think the Cowboys need to bring back most? All right?

0:36:48.480 --> 0:36:52.560
<v Speaker 1>Four options? Bryce Butler, tay teased him in the break,

0:36:52.880 --> 0:36:58.880
<v Speaker 1>Jonathan Cooper, LP, Latticer or Alfred Morris. But you a

0:36:58.960 --> 0:37:01.160
<v Speaker 1>lot of fans didn't realize LP was a free agent.

0:37:01.239 --> 0:37:03.680
<v Speaker 1>I know, right, We always just forget about him. How

0:37:03.760 --> 0:37:06.480
<v Speaker 1>are you exactly? Until you know? Because he never makes

0:37:06.480 --> 0:37:10.040
<v Speaker 1>a mistake, we take him for granted. You guys got LP.

0:37:10.800 --> 0:37:15.000
<v Speaker 1>WHOA you don't take him for granted? Mick, Nope, I

0:37:15.440 --> 0:37:18.800
<v Speaker 1>agree with Mickey, Okay, LP. Yeah, out of that list

0:37:18.920 --> 0:37:22.799
<v Speaker 1>LP best at his job, most consistent at his job. Right, Sure,

0:37:23.560 --> 0:37:25.520
<v Speaker 1>we talk about who's the best at his job. You're right,

0:37:25.520 --> 0:37:28.440
<v Speaker 1>Sean Lee, the best at his job? You know. Yeah,

0:37:28.760 --> 0:37:30.800
<v Speaker 1>we used to say say about Dan Bailey too? Is

0:37:30.880 --> 0:37:33.040
<v Speaker 1>Dan Bailey the best his job? But I think the

0:37:33.120 --> 0:37:35.719
<v Speaker 1>consistency that you've had in the special teams is a

0:37:35.760 --> 0:37:39.000
<v Speaker 1>lot of it has to do with LP the operation,

0:37:39.120 --> 0:37:43.040
<v Speaker 1>the operation clean every time. Exactly, yeah, exactly. Well, he

0:37:43.080 --> 0:37:46.400
<v Speaker 1>almost wins the poll. He gets thirty seven percent. Forty

0:37:46.440 --> 0:37:49.399
<v Speaker 1>three percent goes to Jonathan Cooper. You're starting left guard

0:37:49.400 --> 0:37:52.960
<v Speaker 1>in twenty seventeen. Now, we'll see they could they could

0:37:53.000 --> 0:37:54.879
<v Speaker 1>try to upgrade that position. He might get a better

0:37:54.920 --> 0:37:57.400
<v Speaker 1>offer elsewhere. What do you guys think about that? I

0:37:57.560 --> 0:38:01.600
<v Speaker 1>was just gonna say, seriously, why why do you say seriously? Well,

0:38:01.640 --> 0:38:03.719
<v Speaker 1>I don't mind bringing him back, but I'm not going

0:38:03.760 --> 0:38:06.799
<v Speaker 1>to over extend myself with a contract to bring him back.

0:38:07.320 --> 0:38:10.399
<v Speaker 1>Do you draft a guard? Yes, you gotta, I gotta.

0:38:10.680 --> 0:38:13.600
<v Speaker 1>We brought up on the Draft Show this morning, Connor Williams,

0:38:13.640 --> 0:38:16.759
<v Speaker 1>the tackle from University of Texas. I've been saying it

0:38:16.800 --> 0:38:18.919
<v Speaker 1>for two weeks. I want to tackle. You could play

0:38:18.960 --> 0:38:21.759
<v Speaker 1>second third round somewhere in there forth. I don't know.

0:38:21.880 --> 0:38:25.640
<v Speaker 1>I can't convince you to do it at nineteen if

0:38:25.960 --> 0:38:29.799
<v Speaker 1>he can play tackle and transition to guard. If it

0:38:29.920 --> 0:38:34.880
<v Speaker 1>was like something that there wasn't anything else that entice me,

0:38:35.000 --> 0:38:37.239
<v Speaker 1>I would do that. Absolutely. We had a mail back

0:38:37.320 --> 0:38:40.160
<v Speaker 1>question about this this morning as well, and you said,

0:38:40.239 --> 0:38:42.960
<v Speaker 1>because the question was, can you find that guy in

0:38:43.040 --> 0:38:45.360
<v Speaker 1>free agency? And yeah, it's probably easier to do with you.

0:38:45.480 --> 0:38:47.879
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna draft that thing. I would I would rather

0:38:48.040 --> 0:38:53.200
<v Speaker 1>draft it, yeah, because if he's in free agency, somebody

0:38:53.239 --> 0:38:55.239
<v Speaker 1>else didn't think he was good enough to start for him.

0:38:55.320 --> 0:38:57.960
<v Speaker 1>See the thing about it is, though, you know, it's

0:38:58.000 --> 0:39:00.680
<v Speaker 1>funny we sent that Klais Campbell's to a great job.

0:39:01.239 --> 0:39:03.640
<v Speaker 1>If the one team that hit on free agency, they're

0:39:03.680 --> 0:39:06.480
<v Speaker 1>in the AFC Championship right now. Yeah, but they had

0:39:06.520 --> 0:39:09.640
<v Speaker 1>the most money. They no no, no, no money to

0:39:09.800 --> 0:39:12.640
<v Speaker 1>fail in free a Yeah, but they evaluate the position right. Yeah,

0:39:12.719 --> 0:39:15.880
<v Speaker 1>they evaluated Clais Campbell right, and they evaluated Booya right.

0:39:15.920 --> 0:39:18.120
<v Speaker 1>And they've also got those some that's hard to do.

0:39:18.320 --> 0:39:21.680
<v Speaker 1>That's hard to do in free agency. Jacksonville also, they've

0:39:21.719 --> 0:39:23.759
<v Speaker 1>been bad for a lot of years, but they hit

0:39:23.800 --> 0:39:25.440
<v Speaker 1>on their draft picks too. They've got a lot of

0:39:25.440 --> 0:39:27.480
<v Speaker 1>homegrown guys that are doing a hell of a job,

0:39:27.600 --> 0:39:31.439
<v Speaker 1>specifically on defense, Ramsey Jack. So it's a combination. Yeah,

0:39:31.480 --> 0:39:34.160
<v Speaker 1>I mean they've they've what you're saying, though, I know

0:39:34.200 --> 0:39:35.799
<v Speaker 1>what you're saying. I mean they had, like they were

0:39:35.880 --> 0:39:39.799
<v Speaker 1>like sixty million underneath the cap, so they could overpay

0:39:39.960 --> 0:39:43.239
<v Speaker 1>Bury Church where the Cowboys couldn't do that. They could

0:39:43.280 --> 0:39:49.160
<v Speaker 1>overpay Klais Callendar H. Campbell, where Arizona probably didn't have

0:39:49.200 --> 0:39:51.800
<v Speaker 1>the space to do it, right, Okay in Arizona. I

0:39:51.800 --> 0:39:56.040
<v Speaker 1>don't think they're stupid, like, oh, this guy's not that good. Yeah,

0:39:56.200 --> 0:39:58.640
<v Speaker 1>sometimes your hands are tied. Yeah, but if you've got

0:39:58.680 --> 0:40:01.480
<v Speaker 1>a lot of money and overpay what the money all thought,

0:40:01.600 --> 0:40:03.439
<v Speaker 1>You're right, we all thought Barry Church was pretty good.

0:40:04.440 --> 0:40:06.080
<v Speaker 1>We all thought, sure, I thought he was the one

0:40:06.120 --> 0:40:09.759
<v Speaker 1>to bring back. It was more a money thing. Yeah, pay,

0:40:09.840 --> 0:40:11.520
<v Speaker 1>But they've evaluated they did a good job. I know.

0:40:11.520 --> 0:40:13.800
<v Speaker 1>And I don't wake about Jacks. We've talked about them earlier.

0:40:13.840 --> 0:40:18.759
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, I kind of to me if at nineteen,

0:40:19.000 --> 0:40:22.400
<v Speaker 1>if if it presented itself, I wouldn't be against draft

0:40:22.440 --> 0:40:26.359
<v Speaker 1>in an offensive lineman. I really wouldn't. I mean, because

0:40:26.400 --> 0:40:28.480
<v Speaker 1>we kind of talk about what were the biggest issues

0:40:28.600 --> 0:40:31.120
<v Speaker 1>last year, what was the biggest issues with this team.

0:40:31.120 --> 0:40:33.439
<v Speaker 1>It's a really interesting discussion because it's like, I don't

0:40:33.440 --> 0:40:34.840
<v Speaker 1>want to make it the draft show, but I'm just

0:40:34.880 --> 0:40:37.759
<v Speaker 1>saying I think you have to be prepared. Mickey's right,

0:40:37.840 --> 0:40:39.840
<v Speaker 1>if you could get a guy that could play guard

0:40:40.440 --> 0:40:42.600
<v Speaker 1>or as a tackle that could play guard. And I'm

0:40:42.640 --> 0:40:45.120
<v Speaker 1>not talking about what you tried to do with Chaz Green.

0:40:45.680 --> 0:40:49.799
<v Speaker 1>I'm talking about legitimately can go play at nineteen you're

0:40:49.840 --> 0:40:52.400
<v Speaker 1>at the very end of your free agent or it's

0:40:52.440 --> 0:40:54.600
<v Speaker 1>gonna be your first round grades. In my opinion, you are.

0:40:56.080 --> 0:41:00.080
<v Speaker 1>So we had eighteen last year, Yeah, with Connor, and

0:41:00.120 --> 0:41:02.920
<v Speaker 1>the running back was the last one, right am? I right? Yes,

0:41:03.040 --> 0:41:06.040
<v Speaker 1>the kid that that Minnesota took running back from Florida State,

0:41:06.320 --> 0:41:09.319
<v Speaker 1>Calvin Cook. Yeah, exactly right. So it's one of those things, Tay,

0:41:09.400 --> 0:41:12.040
<v Speaker 1>that you you make sure that the strength of your

0:41:12.040 --> 0:41:15.200
<v Speaker 1>team is still the strength of your team. Your offensive line,

0:41:15.200 --> 0:41:18.319
<v Speaker 1>I mean, stack it up, try to make sure that

0:41:18.360 --> 0:41:21.200
<v Speaker 1>it's still solid because you rely so much on your

0:41:21.239 --> 0:41:26.200
<v Speaker 1>running game and protecting your quarterback, and maybe we expect

0:41:26.239 --> 0:41:28.279
<v Speaker 1>too much out of your three Pro bowlers, you know,

0:41:28.400 --> 0:41:29.839
<v Speaker 1>so if you can find a guy that can make

0:41:29.880 --> 0:41:32.799
<v Speaker 1>sure that you're still really solid there, maybe you do it.

0:41:32.880 --> 0:41:34.759
<v Speaker 1>No matter what, It's going to be an expensive year

0:41:34.800 --> 0:41:36.799
<v Speaker 1>for the oh line because you got it lock in

0:41:36.880 --> 0:41:40.600
<v Speaker 1>Zach Martin, right, and they're comfortable with that. Yeah, they've

0:41:40.600 --> 0:41:44.359
<v Speaker 1>been planning for that. Yeah, expected. See that's to me,

0:41:44.520 --> 0:41:48.520
<v Speaker 1>it's kind of like, look at the situation offensive line, linebacker,

0:41:49.040 --> 0:41:55.799
<v Speaker 1>which one in the first Yeah, nineteen, I'd probably go

0:41:55.880 --> 0:41:59.200
<v Speaker 1>with a linebacker if I knew he's a walk in starter.

0:41:59.400 --> 0:42:02.120
<v Speaker 1>Yeahs matter if Hitchens is back or not, you still

0:42:02.160 --> 0:42:04.680
<v Speaker 1>feel you need that guy. Even if he's back. If Hitch,

0:42:04.760 --> 0:42:06.840
<v Speaker 1>if you do sign Hitchens, you're gonna you're gonna go

0:42:06.920 --> 0:42:10.640
<v Speaker 1>somewhere else. See again Draft show Tam. I'm sorry, no, no,

0:42:10.920 --> 0:42:13.080
<v Speaker 1>but but but it's a it's a personnel thing that

0:42:13.160 --> 0:42:17.960
<v Speaker 1>they've got to decide um and and I think it

0:42:17.960 --> 0:42:19.879
<v Speaker 1>all comes down to you can say all the nice

0:42:19.920 --> 0:42:23.200
<v Speaker 1>things you want about Jalen Smith. Yeah, is he a

0:42:23.320 --> 0:42:27.480
<v Speaker 1>sixty snap a game starter? That's and I don't know

0:42:27.480 --> 0:42:29.319
<v Speaker 1>that they can answer that, as he was doing really

0:42:29.320 --> 0:42:32.279
<v Speaker 1>well down the stretch, playing maybe a little less than

0:42:32.360 --> 0:42:36.000
<v Speaker 1>thirty something like that. Yeah, because because teams didn't get

0:42:36.000 --> 0:42:38.719
<v Speaker 1>a chance to plan for him, to over expose him, right,

0:42:39.400 --> 0:42:42.400
<v Speaker 1>or to expose him. Everybody you talk to feel like

0:42:42.480 --> 0:42:46.920
<v Speaker 1>that he's getting more flex in the foot, you know, more, more,

0:42:46.960 --> 0:42:48.840
<v Speaker 1>more of that. You know where we were. You know,

0:42:49.040 --> 0:42:51.960
<v Speaker 1>initially it wasn't as good, right, and now you're starting

0:42:52.000 --> 0:42:55.400
<v Speaker 1>to see he's having control of his foot. But I

0:42:55.480 --> 0:42:59.279
<v Speaker 1>just like what Stephen Jones said that that when you

0:42:59.320 --> 0:43:02.160
<v Speaker 1>look at it and if you can, then they need

0:43:02.200 --> 0:43:04.839
<v Speaker 1>all three of those guys, right. They need Sean, they

0:43:04.840 --> 0:43:07.600
<v Speaker 1>need Jalen, and they need hitch And they came right

0:43:07.640 --> 0:43:09.840
<v Speaker 1>out of his mouth a week ago. It's such a

0:43:09.840 --> 0:43:13.319
<v Speaker 1>position of attrition because those guys take a beating. I

0:43:13.320 --> 0:43:16.120
<v Speaker 1>mean it's just a physical, physical position and they I

0:43:16.160 --> 0:43:19.359
<v Speaker 1>think nine combined games lost by Lee and Hitchins last

0:43:19.440 --> 0:43:22.759
<v Speaker 1>year alone. I mean, think about it. We understand what

0:43:22.880 --> 0:43:26.680
<v Speaker 1>Sean is. You know, he can blame himself for not

0:43:26.800 --> 0:43:30.560
<v Speaker 1>being available for sixteen games. Okay, fine, but stuff happens,

0:43:30.680 --> 0:43:34.960
<v Speaker 1>right and you're you're not one hundred percent sure on

0:43:35.480 --> 0:43:38.839
<v Speaker 1>what Jalen Smith is. So to me, yeah, linebacker's got

0:43:38.840 --> 0:43:42.239
<v Speaker 1>to be up there, you know, near the top listeners

0:43:42.280 --> 0:43:44.200
<v Speaker 1>thinking what if that left guard, like it, say, if

0:43:44.239 --> 0:43:48.640
<v Speaker 1>as a Connor Williams, Texas again can play left tackle

0:43:48.760 --> 0:43:51.879
<v Speaker 1>if something happens to Smith. Yeah, if that, if that

0:43:51.920 --> 0:43:56.560
<v Speaker 1>guy legitimately your left guard is a starting tackle kind

0:43:56.560 --> 0:44:00.800
<v Speaker 1>of a tackle ability, I'd be down with that. At nineteen,

0:44:01.000 --> 0:44:05.160
<v Speaker 1>absolutely it see that's over. I just think, you know,

0:44:05.320 --> 0:44:07.960
<v Speaker 1>if you're doing this, if you're picking it four or

0:44:08.040 --> 0:44:10.480
<v Speaker 1>at six or eight, one of those places you can

0:44:10.560 --> 0:44:12.879
<v Speaker 1>kind of hone in on a guy. I think at

0:44:13.000 --> 0:44:15.600
<v Speaker 1>nineteen you're at the mercy of the board and you

0:44:15.680 --> 0:44:17.600
<v Speaker 1>have to say, maybe you have to think about this

0:44:17.600 --> 0:44:21.120
<v Speaker 1>thing a little unconventionally. You know, everything's well, offensive line

0:44:21.200 --> 0:44:22.879
<v Speaker 1>is a strength of a team. Well, we've also said

0:44:22.920 --> 0:44:24.839
<v Speaker 1>this that offensive line was one of the reasons why

0:44:25.520 --> 0:44:28.839
<v Speaker 1>team struggled overall. We felt like it wasn't all on them,

0:44:28.960 --> 0:44:31.680
<v Speaker 1>but we kind of felt like they got they got

0:44:32.000 --> 0:44:35.520
<v Speaker 1>held hostage at left tackle. Wasn't good enough. Whoever they

0:44:35.560 --> 0:44:38.040
<v Speaker 1>put out there, it wasn't good enough for sixteen weeks

0:44:38.239 --> 0:44:40.080
<v Speaker 1>with the exception, and there were times when we were

0:44:40.120 --> 0:44:44.000
<v Speaker 1>Tyron Smith wasn't as Tyrn Smith best. You know, No,

0:44:44.200 --> 0:44:48.000
<v Speaker 1>I think I think that's got to be a high

0:44:48.120 --> 0:44:51.600
<v Speaker 1>priority and you cannot let, like you just said, that

0:44:51.760 --> 0:44:57.319
<v Speaker 1>one position muck up everything. As for the linebacker, I

0:44:57.360 --> 0:45:00.880
<v Speaker 1>would be looking for a two for one there somebody

0:45:00.920 --> 0:45:04.520
<v Speaker 1>that can play linebacker. But what about putting your hand

0:45:04.560 --> 0:45:07.960
<v Speaker 1>on the ground on on on nickel situations and rushing

0:45:07.960 --> 0:45:10.920
<v Speaker 1>as a defensive end. Somebody can give me some little

0:45:10.960 --> 0:45:13.759
<v Speaker 1>extra there, so kind of more of a versatile UH

0:45:13.920 --> 0:45:17.799
<v Speaker 1>type player and I could qualify that. Look, you can

0:45:18.200 --> 0:45:20.160
<v Speaker 1>just name me a position, and I bet I can

0:45:20.239 --> 0:45:24.759
<v Speaker 1>qualify taking it pretty high. Name any position. Wide receiver, Yes,

0:45:26.120 --> 0:45:29.520
<v Speaker 1>go ahead, go ahead and take him. No, I'm saying

0:45:29.880 --> 0:45:33.239
<v Speaker 1>why not? Why not? Who's your who's your backup if

0:45:33.680 --> 0:45:37.879
<v Speaker 1>Dez goes back? Yes? Yeah, who who's your backup? Who's

0:45:37.880 --> 0:45:40.960
<v Speaker 1>your starting if Witton goes down? Who's your starting tight end?

0:45:42.200 --> 0:45:46.560
<v Speaker 1>Jeff Swaim? How you feel about I mean yeah, yeah,

0:45:46.600 --> 0:45:52.640
<v Speaker 1>I mean they I think four games but sixteen yeah?

0:45:52.840 --> 0:45:55.440
<v Speaker 1>Um yeah yeah, D line you can never have enough

0:45:55.480 --> 0:46:01.200
<v Speaker 1>pass rushers, D tackle, you got corner, corner, safety, sure,

0:46:01.719 --> 0:46:03.560
<v Speaker 1>I mean you got you got to me and not

0:46:03.719 --> 0:46:06.680
<v Speaker 1>knowing what's going to happen with Scandrick, you have three

0:46:07.440 --> 0:46:10.080
<v Speaker 1>guys you can count on. Now. Is Marquez White ready

0:46:10.120 --> 0:46:15.520
<v Speaker 1>to be your fourth if Scandrick's not here, I don't know. Yeah,

0:46:15.680 --> 0:46:18.480
<v Speaker 1>I just think you just need good players, and I

0:46:18.520 --> 0:46:21.600
<v Speaker 1>don't think any position is going to say, oh I

0:46:21.600 --> 0:46:23.719
<v Speaker 1>can't have one of those? What if? What if there's

0:46:23.719 --> 0:46:27.799
<v Speaker 1>a nice quarterback at the fifth round? Yeah, nice little QB.

0:46:28.239 --> 0:46:31.400
<v Speaker 1>I got no problems with that. Let me ask you this.

0:46:32.480 --> 0:46:36.719
<v Speaker 1>You're gonna love this one. Take one at nineteen a quarterback? Yeah,

0:46:37.320 --> 0:46:42.640
<v Speaker 1>probably not, Probably not. Take one of the second round.

0:46:43.120 --> 0:46:47.080
<v Speaker 1>Still too high. There a guy you got in mind, Brian, No,

0:46:47.160 --> 0:46:49.439
<v Speaker 1>I'm just trying to get I'm just trying to he's

0:46:49.440 --> 0:46:52.680
<v Speaker 1>trying to get He's trying to get some competition from Prescott. No, No,

0:46:52.719 --> 0:46:54.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm trying to figure I'm trying to figure out though,

0:46:55.040 --> 0:46:57.080
<v Speaker 1>Oh do we have a big group behind us to

0:46:57.160 --> 0:47:00.919
<v Speaker 1>turn around and wave and say, actually, no, please do Yeah,

0:47:01.200 --> 0:47:05.360
<v Speaker 1>Micky's gonna wait for it. I'll do it. But welcome

0:47:05.400 --> 0:47:07.560
<v Speaker 1>to the Star. By the way, But at nineteen you

0:47:07.600 --> 0:47:11.640
<v Speaker 1>wouldn't know, but you would take an offensive lineman at night? Yes? Absolutely.

0:47:11.719 --> 0:47:13.839
<v Speaker 1>What position other than the quarterback would you not take

0:47:13.880 --> 0:47:22.480
<v Speaker 1>at nineteen? Kicker? Punter, well, yeah, deep snapper, yeah, uh,

0:47:23.400 --> 0:47:25.360
<v Speaker 1>I would I don't think I I mean, I wouldn't

0:47:25.360 --> 0:47:31.560
<v Speaker 1>take a center. Yeah yeah, what the center could play guard?

0:47:31.320 --> 0:47:34.600
<v Speaker 1>Would running? I want him to play tackle? That's interesting, Yes,

0:47:35.320 --> 0:47:39.360
<v Speaker 1>she asked running back? Uh yes, uh not not with

0:47:39.480 --> 0:47:44.640
<v Speaker 1>the first round pick, second or third? I would take one. Yeah, yes, yes,

0:47:45.320 --> 0:47:48.480
<v Speaker 1>Who's I mean? I think Rod Smiths got a chance

0:47:48.480 --> 0:47:50.680
<v Speaker 1>to be your backup running back, but has a chance.

0:47:50.840 --> 0:47:53.160
<v Speaker 1>But could you what was the guy you wanted? The

0:47:53.239 --> 0:47:55.879
<v Speaker 1>kind of dunbar like guy? I want that toy? Yeah?

0:47:56.000 --> 0:47:59.280
<v Speaker 1>The guy to where did you go to? Chargers? Yeah?

0:47:59.320 --> 0:48:02.920
<v Speaker 1>They who pick him right before? No? Philadelphia did right?

0:48:02.960 --> 0:48:07.799
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, Pumphrey the kid from San Diego. Yeah yeah,

0:48:07.880 --> 0:48:11.359
<v Speaker 1>give me give me a guy that can scatter around. Absolutely,

0:48:11.920 --> 0:48:17.120
<v Speaker 1>you guys catch wind of aolve Bryce Butler's comments last week? Yeah,

0:48:17.280 --> 0:48:19.840
<v Speaker 1>get it, Mick, Yes, I saw it. Ask you this,

0:48:20.400 --> 0:48:24.880
<v Speaker 1>ask a question today. Bryce Butler better player talent wise

0:48:25.000 --> 0:48:29.799
<v Speaker 1>than Terrence Williams. I'm not comparison to touchdowns this year.

0:48:29.920 --> 0:48:33.239
<v Speaker 1>I'm not comparing him to Bryant. I'm keeping it out

0:48:33.280 --> 0:48:36.719
<v Speaker 1>of that. But does he have a point about Terrence Williams?

0:48:37.000 --> 0:48:38.920
<v Speaker 1>And but see Bryce Butler, I don't see him as

0:48:38.920 --> 0:48:42.080
<v Speaker 1>a z you know, that. But but does he does

0:48:42.120 --> 0:48:44.840
<v Speaker 1>he have a point about how much time he should

0:48:44.880 --> 0:48:47.120
<v Speaker 1>have played? Here was thinking about Terrence Williams. Let me

0:48:47.160 --> 0:48:49.759
<v Speaker 1>just read this quickly. Terrence Williams got paid last year.

0:48:49.760 --> 0:48:51.600
<v Speaker 1>So there are times where I was like, I'm making plays.

0:48:51.640 --> 0:48:53.799
<v Speaker 1>Aren't we trying to win games? Why am I not

0:48:53.880 --> 0:48:55.759
<v Speaker 1>on the field. But that's the only thing I can

0:48:55.800 --> 0:49:00.279
<v Speaker 1>really think of. He's not going after Daz, He's but

0:49:00.600 --> 0:49:02.960
<v Speaker 1>in our mind if you're watching, remember him coming out

0:49:02.960 --> 0:49:05.319
<v Speaker 1>of training camp. Yeah, and a really good camp. And

0:49:05.360 --> 0:49:09.200
<v Speaker 1>then what happened early in the season. Yeah, what start

0:49:09.280 --> 0:49:12.240
<v Speaker 1>dropping balls? Drop dropping them? And then you lose confidence

0:49:12.280 --> 0:49:15.480
<v Speaker 1>in a guy. Yeah, and when you're only getting three

0:49:15.520 --> 0:49:18.799
<v Speaker 1>opportunities or four opportunities in a game, sure you can't

0:49:18.840 --> 0:49:22.800
<v Speaker 1>go two for four. Sure. So and he had the

0:49:22.880 --> 0:49:25.280
<v Speaker 1>foot down the stretch too, well, he had it almost

0:49:25.320 --> 0:49:28.719
<v Speaker 1>all year. Yeah, they got hurting training camp, right, Yeah,

0:49:28.840 --> 0:49:31.560
<v Speaker 1>so into training camp. He didn't factor that into all

0:49:31.640 --> 0:49:35.000
<v Speaker 1>his comments. But you know, if I'm him, and I'm

0:49:35.000 --> 0:49:39.520
<v Speaker 1>sure he was listening to his agent. I'm a free agent.

0:49:39.640 --> 0:49:41.560
<v Speaker 1>You wouldn't have gone that route. I'm not I'm not

0:49:41.680 --> 0:49:46.879
<v Speaker 1>eliminating one team. Yeah, I want all thirty two wanting me. Yeah,

0:49:47.080 --> 0:49:50.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm not going to start eliminating people. Maybe he kind

0:49:50.160 --> 0:49:52.080
<v Speaker 1>of feels like the ridings on the wall here though

0:49:52.160 --> 0:49:54.239
<v Speaker 1>he didn't. He didn't get the opportunity, like you said,

0:49:54.280 --> 0:49:57.320
<v Speaker 1>over Terrence. They feel comfortable with Terrence there. They drafted

0:49:57.400 --> 0:50:00.800
<v Speaker 1>two ride receivers last year, although you know, Switzer's a

0:50:00.840 --> 0:50:03.239
<v Speaker 1>different type of receiver or of a slot guy. Maybe

0:50:03.280 --> 0:50:05.160
<v Speaker 1>he feels like it's, you know, this probably isn't the

0:50:05.200 --> 0:50:07.600
<v Speaker 1>place for me. He's not expecting to get an offer

0:50:07.680 --> 0:50:10.880
<v Speaker 1>from the Cowboys to come back, well he not that,

0:50:11.280 --> 0:50:14.520
<v Speaker 1>not that they won't, but maybe that's his opinion. Which

0:50:14.960 --> 0:50:17.400
<v Speaker 1>year was a better year for him this year or

0:50:17.560 --> 0:50:23.400
<v Speaker 1>last year? Last year? And who signed him? Cowboys for

0:50:23.560 --> 0:50:25.799
<v Speaker 1>a one year deal right, which means no one else

0:50:26.239 --> 0:50:28.560
<v Speaker 1>was offering him anything. He kind of signed early. Then

0:50:28.600 --> 0:50:30.680
<v Speaker 1>he signed before free agency started. He was kind of

0:50:30.719 --> 0:50:33.719
<v Speaker 1>looking for a job. I think Bryce, I think I

0:50:33.800 --> 0:50:36.000
<v Speaker 1>think what happened is they started seeing the market where

0:50:36.000 --> 0:50:38.279
<v Speaker 1>all those guys were getting one year deals, right, and

0:50:38.360 --> 0:50:40.399
<v Speaker 1>all of a sudden, people got blown away by Terence

0:50:40.440 --> 0:50:43.160
<v Speaker 1>getting a four. I want to say though he signed early,

0:50:43.400 --> 0:50:46.239
<v Speaker 1>think I think he probably and I haven't talked to

0:50:46.360 --> 0:50:48.120
<v Speaker 1>him about this. But it may think that Terence wasn't

0:50:48.120 --> 0:50:49.520
<v Speaker 1>going to be here and he had an opportunity to

0:50:49.520 --> 0:50:51.799
<v Speaker 1>bet on himself and be the starter here last year

0:50:51.920 --> 0:50:54.040
<v Speaker 1>and it didn't happen. Terrence comes back and he's back

0:50:54.080 --> 0:50:58.040
<v Speaker 1>in the same role he won. I agree, So you

0:50:58.120 --> 0:51:01.080
<v Speaker 1>know it works better when you put the mic in

0:51:01.120 --> 0:51:03.440
<v Speaker 1>front of your face, though I'm not talking. Okay, all right,

0:51:03.480 --> 0:51:05.880
<v Speaker 1>Well quickly before we have to end today show, we

0:51:06.000 --> 0:51:08.759
<v Speaker 1>have a caller all the way from Germany, Bjorn I

0:51:08.880 --> 0:51:12.959
<v Speaker 1>hope I said your name right, Yeah, you said it right. Hello, Hello.

0:51:15.160 --> 0:51:18.960
<v Speaker 1>To make it quick. Question. You talked before about the

0:51:19.040 --> 0:51:24.480
<v Speaker 1>influence of coach Eberflus, Maybe short Lee has also a

0:51:25.440 --> 0:51:30.440
<v Speaker 1>huge impact on those linebackers. Just let's throw a name out,

0:51:30.520 --> 0:51:33.080
<v Speaker 1>Dean to Holloman. A few years ago, Mickey talked about

0:51:33.120 --> 0:51:36.280
<v Speaker 1>this on Talking about Cowboys a Lot. How he talked

0:51:36.360 --> 0:51:41.520
<v Speaker 1>with Holloman study tape with him. Does this make maybe

0:51:41.560 --> 0:51:46.080
<v Speaker 1>a chance to draft the linebacker who needs maybe two

0:51:46.320 --> 0:51:49.239
<v Speaker 1>or two years to get ready to play, but can

0:51:49.320 --> 0:51:53.360
<v Speaker 1>help on special teams and also a good work ethic.

0:51:54.320 --> 0:51:59.800
<v Speaker 1>And next question is we have a few free agents,

0:52:01.080 --> 0:52:07.040
<v Speaker 1>and if we leave the money out, who should consider

0:52:07.120 --> 0:52:12.800
<v Speaker 1>to stay with the Cowboys because, uh, for individual success,

0:52:13.200 --> 0:52:17.680
<v Speaker 1>it's the best choice. For example, would would Hitchins be

0:52:17.840 --> 0:52:20.959
<v Speaker 1>as good as he is with the Cowboys without having

0:52:21.000 --> 0:52:24.960
<v Speaker 1>for example, for the day by day around him also

0:52:25.080 --> 0:52:28.799
<v Speaker 1>on the field off the field, or would Taxmber sac

0:52:28.880 --> 0:52:32.960
<v Speaker 1>Martin would be would be he as good as without

0:52:33.840 --> 0:52:37.439
<v Speaker 1>Travis Redwick next to him? Thank you guys, yeah, thank

0:52:37.520 --> 0:52:40.600
<v Speaker 1>you quickly if you guys, pretty thoughtful question. Yeah, it

0:52:40.800 --> 0:52:42.799
<v Speaker 1>was how you a draft show? We had a question

0:52:42.840 --> 0:52:45.040
<v Speaker 1>Philippe from France called then we have a here? Question

0:52:45.440 --> 0:52:48.279
<v Speaker 1>just shows you the scope of our deal here. Yeah,

0:52:48.360 --> 0:52:50.279
<v Speaker 1>I think that, you know, I do. I think anthy

0:52:50.400 --> 0:52:52.879
<v Speaker 1>Hichins would play in any scheme. I really do. Three

0:52:53.000 --> 0:52:56.400
<v Speaker 1>four four three. I think anywhere anti Hichins goes, if

0:52:56.440 --> 0:52:59.520
<v Speaker 1>he stays here, great, Absolutely you'd love to have anti Higgins.

0:52:59.680 --> 0:53:01.640
<v Speaker 1>The draft that's going to present. I just don't think

0:53:01.719 --> 0:53:04.200
<v Speaker 1>the draft is going to be as deep as people

0:53:04.280 --> 0:53:06.919
<v Speaker 1>believe at that position. And you might have to go early,

0:53:07.000 --> 0:53:08.320
<v Speaker 1>and it might be a guy you might have to

0:53:08.360 --> 0:53:10.919
<v Speaker 1>reach a little bit on. But you know, I think

0:53:10.960 --> 0:53:14.560
<v Speaker 1>that whatever whatever Hitchens goes, he's going to be just

0:53:14.719 --> 0:53:16.759
<v Speaker 1>as good as he is. Because if you think about it.

0:53:16.920 --> 0:53:19.960
<v Speaker 1>He played well in Sean's spot when Sean was out.

0:53:20.280 --> 0:53:23.160
<v Speaker 1>His problem was then they got exposed in the middle exactly,

0:53:23.360 --> 0:53:26.080
<v Speaker 1>he wasn't there. Yeah, he is capable of doing anything

0:53:26.239 --> 0:53:28.680
<v Speaker 1>in any scheme, and I think that people will see that,

0:53:29.160 --> 0:53:31.200
<v Speaker 1>and I think that people will give him that opportunity.

0:53:31.400 --> 0:53:33.759
<v Speaker 1>But there are some guys that fit into what he

0:53:33.960 --> 0:53:36.879
<v Speaker 1>was talking about, that fold of you play your role

0:53:37.000 --> 0:53:39.480
<v Speaker 1>on this team and then you get paid big to

0:53:39.560 --> 0:53:42.440
<v Speaker 1>go somewhere else. Right. I always bring up Elvin Harper.

0:53:43.160 --> 0:53:46.120
<v Speaker 1>He was a great number two. Tampa Bay paid him

0:53:46.160 --> 0:53:48.480
<v Speaker 1>to be a number one and he wasn't a number one, right,

0:53:48.760 --> 0:53:50.960
<v Speaker 1>you know, gave him a big contract and two years

0:53:51.080 --> 0:53:53.719
<v Speaker 1>later he was gone. Answer is I think Zach Martin

0:53:53.760 --> 0:53:55.840
<v Speaker 1>would be an all pro anywhere. Yeah, but you have

0:53:55.920 --> 0:53:57.600
<v Speaker 1>to worry about it. You're right, there are certain guys

0:53:57.640 --> 0:53:59.880
<v Speaker 1>that are in that mold. Well, you guys are all pros.

0:54:00.120 --> 0:54:02.879
<v Speaker 1>And we hope that our all pro audience will join

0:54:03.040 --> 0:54:06.279
<v Speaker 1>us again next talking Tuesday. We'll be back same time

0:54:06.320 --> 0:54:09.320
<v Speaker 1>at eleven am. Thank you so much for joining us today.
