WEBVTT - Mick Shots: Whole Lot Shakin' 0:00:03.040 --> 0:00:05.520 The following is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com 0:00:05.559 --> 0:00:07.440 and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club. 0:00:09.240 --> 0:00:10.320 Cowboys. 0:00:12.000 --> 0:00:17.200 This is Nick shot streaming live on Dallascowboys dot Com 0:00:17.440 --> 0:00:21.720 and the official Dallas Cowboys AFT. Now Here are Bill Jones, 0:00:22.000 --> 0:00:29.400 Savannah Humoller, Everson Wolves, and Mickey Spagnola. 0:00:30.480 --> 0:00:36.120 Well, we've got three and we have a quorum here 0:00:36.159 --> 0:00:41.879 on Wednesday ten am at the Star on Dallascowboys dot Com, 0:00:42.200 --> 0:00:46.479 which on Monday we would not have had a quorum 0:00:46.600 --> 0:00:49.640 because there would only been two of us. So we 0:00:50.600 --> 0:00:54.840 took liberties thanks to producer Supreme Chris, to move to 0:00:55.280 --> 0:01:00.720 ten o'clock on Wednesday. And so it seems like forever 0:01:00.880 --> 0:01:06.160 since we've had a mix shots, and so much has 0:01:06.280 --> 0:01:07.520 taken place. 0:01:07.319 --> 0:01:08.920 So much, way too much. 0:01:09.560 --> 0:01:11.640 It seems like every day. As a matter of fact, 0:01:11.720 --> 0:01:14.400 just to give you an idea of how things happened, 0:01:14.400 --> 0:01:18.880 I left here at three forty yesterday afternoon. By time 0:01:18.920 --> 0:01:24.160 I got home, it got reported that Jonathan Hankins had 0:01:24.200 --> 0:01:29.880 agreed to deal with Seattle. Yeah, wow, so we've got 0:01:30.200 --> 0:01:35.240 let's see Leyton vander Ash failing physical released and then 0:01:35.480 --> 0:01:40.840 announced his retirement, which was really no surprise. Over the 0:01:40.920 --> 0:01:44.440 last I guess nine days since we've had a show, 0:01:44.600 --> 0:01:50.240 We've had Michael Gallup released, We've had Tyron Smith sign 0:01:50.360 --> 0:01:55.880 with the New York Jets. The Cowboys re signed Jordan Lewis, 0:01:56.840 --> 0:02:06.960 Dak Prescott restructured the restructure bonus on his deal. Did 0:02:07.480 --> 0:02:12.960 Eric Kendrick sign after our last show, I believe, which 0:02:13.000 --> 0:02:16.919 would be one of the Cowboys big free agent pickups 0:02:16.960 --> 0:02:24.480 we've had. The coaching staff officially announced. There has been 0:02:24.760 --> 0:02:28.120 so much going on this first week and a half 0:02:28.240 --> 0:02:31.080 of free agency, it's hard to keep up with everything. 0:02:31.480 --> 0:02:38.400 But we will try here the best we can to 0:02:38.480 --> 0:02:41.720 cover everything that's going on here since the start of 0:02:41.760 --> 0:02:46.200 free agency on March thirteenth. What's the day, the twenty 0:02:46.240 --> 0:02:50.440 first day, the twenty first day of spring? Is that 0:02:51.080 --> 0:02:57.280 what we're supposed to yesterday? Yesterday? Okay? So and you 0:02:57.320 --> 0:02:58.760 miss what was that? 0:02:58.840 --> 0:03:00.399 We have a we have a starting run back. 0:03:06.320 --> 0:03:09.480 So that gives the Cowboys under contract I think four 0:03:10.200 --> 0:03:12.120 running backs at this point. 0:03:12.400 --> 0:03:15.560 Four we have four four so. 0:03:17.800 --> 0:03:25.480 Elik Davis, Hunter Lepke, and rico'donald. What more do you need? 0:03:25.880 --> 0:03:27.240 Man? I need more? 0:03:27.520 --> 0:03:33.160 Well, I'll tell you what. Okay, So for what Tony 0:03:33.360 --> 0:03:35.960 Pollard signed for the Cowboys, weren't going to do that 0:03:36.160 --> 0:03:39.280 at this point. It's rico'dondal it is, I would imagine, 0:03:39.480 --> 0:03:43.960 and went where to Tennessee. 0:03:43.680 --> 0:03:45.200 Titans three year deal? 0:03:45.360 --> 0:03:47.080 Who rather has back home? 0:03:47.120 --> 0:03:50.040 Basically right well, because he's from Memphis. 0:03:49.760 --> 0:03:53.960 About three hour drive from Memphis, they would rather have Rico, 0:03:54.160 --> 0:03:59.200 I mean Tony Pollard instead of Derrick Henry. Who that's 0:03:59.240 --> 0:04:03.280 saying something when to Baltimore by the way, So anyway, 0:04:04.400 --> 0:04:09.520 let's start here. You guys, tell me give me a 0:04:09.600 --> 0:04:14.680 surprise in all this that we mentioned that took place 0:04:15.400 --> 0:04:18.560 since the start of free agency, what surprised you the most. 0:04:20.000 --> 0:04:24.000 I think this has just been a crazy time with 0:04:24.160 --> 0:04:27.640 free agency, and it's been I feel like a little 0:04:27.760 --> 0:04:33.040 uneasy as far as how the Cowboys have done everything, 0:04:33.200 --> 0:04:36.000 and so I think there's a lot of frustration within 0:04:36.040 --> 0:04:39.880 the fan base right now, and you know, there's still 0:04:39.920 --> 0:04:43.360 a lot of time left. But I think some of 0:04:43.400 --> 0:04:46.640 the big ones that stood out to me was Tyler 0:04:46.640 --> 0:04:50.919 Biattish and Tyrone Smith because I'm really looking at that 0:04:51.040 --> 0:04:53.680 offensive line and now you have a lot of really 0:04:53.720 --> 0:04:56.000 big decisions that you have to make as far as 0:04:56.040 --> 0:04:58.000 the guys that you do have left out there. 0:04:58.040 --> 0:05:04.200 Everson, I think Yiddish more than Tyler Tyron Smith. Beyondis more. 0:05:04.400 --> 0:05:08.040 I was very surprised that we lost our center. Uh 0:05:08.120 --> 0:05:12.479 we've had problems trying to figure out, you know, who 0:05:12.560 --> 0:05:14.800 was going to replace him when he was injured back 0:05:14.800 --> 0:05:18.800 in training camp. Uh we we tried what Tyler Smith? 0:05:18.800 --> 0:05:18.920 Did? 0:05:18.960 --> 0:05:20.320 We try Tyler Smith at center? 0:05:21.160 --> 0:05:21.520 Uh? 0:05:21.839 --> 0:05:22.960 No, who we trying? 0:05:24.600 --> 0:05:26.720 But there was another I can't I know, we tried 0:05:26.920 --> 0:05:29.560 another guy center that you know, he's probably not even 0:05:29.600 --> 0:05:30.039 here now. 0:05:30.080 --> 0:05:32.719 But you know these are guys that failed. 0:05:32.800 --> 0:05:35.640 I thought miserably to replace Beyondish and now we have 0:05:36.400 --> 0:05:38.640 no replacement for Beyondish at all, do we? 0:05:38.640 --> 0:05:41.760 Well? Today it would be brock Kaffman. If they had 0:05:41.800 --> 0:05:45.279 to start a game, which, by the way, a couple 0:05:45.279 --> 0:05:48.640 of times that he had to play, he played decently. 0:05:48.720 --> 0:05:52.120 I love your optimistic voice when you start. 0:05:51.960 --> 0:05:53.760 We got wet. 0:05:56.160 --> 0:06:00.599 They have to play a game tomorrow it would be broadcasts. 0:06:00.760 --> 0:06:02.240 So well, what do you I mean you got to 0:06:02.279 --> 0:06:04.280 give me more on that man? I mean it block 0:06:04.360 --> 0:06:06.520 worth it. I mean when I say worth it, I 0:06:06.520 --> 0:06:09.920 mean is he a capable backup? Well? 0:06:10.200 --> 0:06:11.640 He was star. 0:06:11.800 --> 0:06:15.960 He was, and now we'll see if he gets the opportunity. 0:06:16.440 --> 0:06:20.159 But again, free agency is not over with UH, and 0:06:20.279 --> 0:06:23.839 there is a draft and you can make trades, so 0:06:23.960 --> 0:06:25.040 they're still. 0:06:24.839 --> 0:06:27.120 You think we picked up a starting center in the. 0:06:27.839 --> 0:06:34.479 Draft, a starting center draft, but maybe somebody to UH, 0:06:34.600 --> 0:06:39.440 somebody to compete for the job. But the thing I think, 0:06:39.839 --> 0:06:45.039 first of all, we have to remember that they've got 0:06:46.279 --> 0:06:52.360 maybe seven million dollars under the cap. Now after they 0:06:52.839 --> 0:06:59.400 UH restructured Dak Prescott's restructure bonus, they picked up four 0:06:59.400 --> 0:07:04.440 a million, but that basically went to signing Eric Kendricks, 0:07:05.360 --> 0:07:09.840 whose salary cap HiT's going to be one year, three 0:07:09.880 --> 0:07:13.480 million dollars, So they have four left. So they've got 0:07:13.520 --> 0:07:17.160 a little bit left, but not much, not enough to say, oh, 0:07:17.240 --> 0:07:19.760 let's go make a splash. Let's put it that way. 0:07:19.800 --> 0:07:22.000 Were you surprised about Tyran's contract? 0:07:22.040 --> 0:07:25.840 Okay, with the Jets, very surprised because what the fine 0:07:26.000 --> 0:07:31.320 print didn't get pointed out because it got reported initially 0:07:31.560 --> 0:07:35.520 one year six point five million with incentives that can 0:07:35.560 --> 0:07:36.840 get it to twenty million. 0:07:36.960 --> 0:07:37.320 Correct. 0:07:37.480 --> 0:07:41.040 But here's the part that got the Cowboys. It was 0:07:41.120 --> 0:07:44.720 like a poison pill. So he's got I don't know 0:07:44.760 --> 0:07:47.320 if everybody can see this. I've got a list here 0:07:47.840 --> 0:07:52.680 of all his incentives. Okay, you got it? Yeah, okay, 0:07:52.720 --> 0:07:58.480 So you see playing time incentive tier one, and if 0:07:58.520 --> 0:08:03.200 he plays sixty eight percent of the snaps, he would 0:08:03.400 --> 0:08:08.440 make five point seventy five million dollars. Wow, okay, but 0:08:08.640 --> 0:08:14.160 guess what last year he played seventy one point five 0:08:14.280 --> 0:08:18.200 percent of the snaps. So those incentives right there are 0:08:18.400 --> 0:08:22.080 likely to be earned. So his cap hit for this 0:08:22.360 --> 0:08:26.880 year right now is twelve point two five million one 0:08:27.000 --> 0:08:30.600 year go figure. So the Cowboys could not match. They 0:08:30.680 --> 0:08:34.920 didn't even come close to having that much salary cap room. 0:08:35.360 --> 0:08:38.480 So what the deal is, if you give a guy 0:08:38.840 --> 0:08:47.680 incentives that he earned last year, then that counts against 0:08:48.040 --> 0:08:51.560 your cap hit for this year. If he doesn't achieve it, 0:08:51.960 --> 0:08:56.040 then you get a rebate next year. Oh okay, okay, 0:08:56.559 --> 0:09:00.480 But they've got to assume that since he played seventy 0:09:00.520 --> 0:09:03.520 one and a half percent of the snaps last year, 0:09:03.880 --> 0:09:07.360 that he will at least get to sixty eight percent 0:09:07.600 --> 0:09:08.120 this year. 0:09:08.200 --> 0:09:11.240 So they're looking good as far as as far as 0:09:11.240 --> 0:09:12.840 their salary cap numbers of concerns. 0:09:12.920 --> 0:09:14.840 Yeah, they had a lot. I think even after this 0:09:15.000 --> 0:09:18.880 they had like twelve seventeen million dollars. That's a good deal, 0:09:19.280 --> 0:09:21.480 that's fit for Tyrant and the Jets, and that's why 0:09:21.520 --> 0:09:26.560 they were able to also sign Williams, the wide receiver 0:09:26.960 --> 0:09:32.040 from the Chargers. So so again, and then if you 0:09:32.080 --> 0:09:37.120 look at tier two of those incentives, it goes it 0:09:37.240 --> 0:09:40.640 starts at seventy four percent, So those aren't likely to 0:09:40.679 --> 0:09:43.959 be earned because he didn't earn him last year. Okay. 0:09:45.080 --> 0:09:49.120 Also it went from seventy four percent for another one 0:09:49.160 --> 0:09:51.880 point twenty five million all the way up to ninety 0:09:51.920 --> 0:09:55.680 eight percent for six point two five million. 0:09:56.080 --> 0:09:58.520 So that's no, he's not doing that, right, I mean, 0:09:58.559 --> 0:09:58.960 come on. 0:09:58.920 --> 0:10:03.800 You would think, right, But again last year seventy one 0:10:04.520 --> 0:10:07.880 seventy one point five percent. He played the majority of 0:10:07.920 --> 0:10:11.120 the games, and by the way, in the play in 0:10:11.160 --> 0:10:18.720 the playoff game, I forgot about this. The offense ninety 0:10:18.760 --> 0:10:21.880 five snaps in the loss to Green Bay. Yeah, he 0:10:21.920 --> 0:10:24.600 played every one of them. That is something, and so 0:10:24.720 --> 0:10:26.040 did be Hodish, by. 0:10:25.920 --> 0:10:29.280 The way, And to me, that that leads me to 0:10:30.040 --> 0:10:35.520 the fact that losing Tyres Smith, to me, that is 0:10:35.559 --> 0:10:40.199 a heartbreaker simply because of what he brought to this organization. Right, 0:10:40.280 --> 0:10:42.520 you know we were talking about now is numbers because 0:10:42.520 --> 0:10:45.600 this is what the segment is we're talking about, you know, the. 0:10:45.520 --> 0:10:46.600 Movement that was made. 0:10:46.679 --> 0:10:48.880 But when you just think about what Tyren Smith brought 0:10:48.920 --> 0:10:52.440 to this organization and played well and played extremely well 0:10:52.520 --> 0:10:55.240 last year considering all the injuries that he had been through, 0:10:55.480 --> 0:10:57.760 and to suck it up at what how old is 0:10:57.760 --> 0:10:58.160 he now? 0:10:58.559 --> 0:11:02.640 He'll be he's thirty three. He'll be thirty four on December. 0:11:02.240 --> 0:11:04.640 Twelfth, and that's an old thirty four because he's been 0:11:04.679 --> 0:11:06.840 through it, right, and he gave it all. 0:11:06.880 --> 0:11:09.600 He gave it all to the castle. You gotta give 0:11:09.640 --> 0:11:10.440 the man some love. 0:11:10.559 --> 0:11:10.920 Oh yeah. 0:11:11.040 --> 0:11:14.960 Regards to how much we're gonna miss him his professionalism, Uh, 0:11:15.320 --> 0:11:18.440 he gave no one any issues around here at all. 0:11:19.000 --> 0:11:22.400 I can't remember him even hearing of him raising his 0:11:22.559 --> 0:11:25.440 voice to anyone, right, you know, he's always been that 0:11:25.520 --> 0:11:28.520 guy that showed class, his good such. 0:11:28.320 --> 0:11:30.240 A stand up. 0:11:33.360 --> 0:11:36.880 That's the longest if we've verbalized we. 0:11:36.960 --> 0:11:38.400 Got to show ever since I haven't pulled up. 0:11:38.400 --> 0:11:42.480 It's the longest he would have spoken in thirteen years combined. 0:11:42.520 --> 0:11:44.880 Wow, honestly, that's very true. 0:11:44.960 --> 0:11:45.760 And am I right? 0:11:46.120 --> 0:11:48.000 Yes, you are right, because. 0:11:47.720 --> 0:11:50.199 Even the guys on the offensive line, no, when they 0:11:50.400 --> 0:11:53.040 talk to tyrant if they get a grunt. That's right, 0:11:53.080 --> 0:11:53.840 that's a good glow. 0:11:54.160 --> 0:11:55.959 Like when I think about it too, like look at 0:11:56.080 --> 0:11:58.480 the other young guys that he was playing on the 0:11:58.520 --> 0:12:01.720 line with, Like he was also such a leader in 0:12:01.760 --> 0:12:06.600 a way, and that's exactly that's a miss that we 0:12:06.720 --> 0:12:09.760 won't have necessarily on that line right now. 0:12:10.520 --> 0:12:11.800 So this is pretty cool. 0:12:12.000 --> 0:12:16.560 My next question to you about this is do you 0:12:16.800 --> 0:12:23.280 go in search of a offensive left tackle or do 0:12:23.360 --> 0:12:28.319 you move Tyler Smith to left tackle and then fill 0:12:28.320 --> 0:12:30.720 in at guard. What would be your preference? 0:12:30.760 --> 0:12:34.680 That was very cool, That was very cool. My preference again, 0:12:34.679 --> 0:12:35.400 I'm sorry. 0:12:35.720 --> 0:12:40.040 Tyler Smith, move him to left tackle and then find 0:12:40.040 --> 0:12:43.400 a guard because finding a guard is probably a little 0:12:43.480 --> 0:12:45.840 easier than finding a left tackle. 0:12:45.880 --> 0:12:47.800 Now, you got to put him out of tackle. You 0:12:47.880 --> 0:12:48.959 have to put him out of tackle. 0:12:49.080 --> 0:12:51.400 See that's my you just you just have to because 0:12:51.400 --> 0:12:54.720 that's where the experience is obviously the most important position 0:12:54.800 --> 0:12:58.600 on the offensive line, covering your quarterback's backside. So yeah, 0:12:58.600 --> 0:13:00.720 I would have to say you put the most experience 0:13:00.800 --> 0:13:04.600 an athletic person if even if he's playing guard right now, 0:13:04.679 --> 0:13:06.760 you have to pay move him out to tackle and. 0:13:06.720 --> 0:13:07.160 He's done it. 0:13:07.200 --> 0:13:09.880 Before, and that's what he was before they moved him 0:13:09.920 --> 0:13:10.360 to guard. 0:13:10.520 --> 0:13:13.200 No, no, he was a guard. And then so he 0:13:13.360 --> 0:13:15.120 was he was drafted. What was he drafted? 0:13:15.520 --> 0:13:17.720 It was he was a tackle. He was a tackle, 0:13:17.920 --> 0:13:19.800 but they thought that they can move him. 0:13:19.920 --> 0:13:21.120 I thought he got to the guard. 0:13:21.320 --> 0:13:24.840 Yeah, well he was. He was a tackle at college. 0:13:25.280 --> 0:13:27.280 You want him to be a guard just because you 0:13:27.360 --> 0:13:33.240 wanted a guard drafted in the first round. Don't message no, man, 0:13:33.240 --> 0:13:33.960 this is true. 0:13:34.000 --> 0:13:36.959 It's a fact. But Spagnola always kind of. 0:13:37.200 --> 0:13:41.960 Got to be right right right. So then at guard 0:13:42.720 --> 0:13:47.240 you you would have t J. Bass if they had 0:13:47.280 --> 0:13:51.360 to play tomorrow. To me, finding a guard should be 0:13:51.559 --> 0:13:56.760 easier than a left tackle. The left tackle positions pretty important. 0:13:56.840 --> 0:14:00.240 And this is a way when you don't have a 0:14:00.280 --> 0:14:05.240 whole bunch of salary cap money available to very inexpensively 0:14:05.480 --> 0:14:07.120 fill the left tackle spot. 0:14:07.320 --> 0:14:09.920 Have you been out there enough as far as your 0:14:09.960 --> 0:14:12.480 knowledge is concerned, do you know if there are any 0:14:12.520 --> 0:14:16.320 guards out there for trade or veteran guards out there 0:14:16.320 --> 0:14:17.400 that are unsigned. 0:14:18.440 --> 0:14:22.560 I have not seen of any quality. Now, let's put 0:14:22.560 --> 0:14:26.440 it this way. The market value. I saw a couple 0:14:26.720 --> 0:14:33.600 guards get re signed for sixteen to eighteen million a year. 0:14:34.560 --> 0:14:36.080 Wow, a guard A guard? 0:14:36.320 --> 0:14:38.600 Now, see you've been talking trans about guards, not look 0:14:38.640 --> 0:14:39.640 at the value of guards. 0:14:39.680 --> 0:14:41.320 Now. See I was ahead of the. 0:14:41.320 --> 0:14:47.320 Game market and the tackles. The tackles not for incentives, 0:14:47.360 --> 0:14:53.960 for real money twenty millionaires. So Tyran and his agent 0:14:54.160 --> 0:14:57.760 saw what the market value was at the tackle position 0:14:57.880 --> 0:14:59.600 and it was like, well, we want some of that 0:15:00.160 --> 0:15:04.320 because last year he took a little bit of a 0:15:04.360 --> 0:15:12.200 pay cut to restructure his contract and because of that, 0:15:12.960 --> 0:15:17.520 he still this year will count six million dollars against 0:15:17.600 --> 0:15:23.120 the Cowboys in dead money. So that's got to be 0:15:23.800 --> 0:15:29.120 I would think decision number one what they do at 0:15:29.200 --> 0:15:35.520 left tackle and then guard and center? Right? Yeah? Do that? 0:15:36.520 --> 0:15:40.240 Do they trust brock Kaufman to be able to step 0:15:40.280 --> 0:15:43.960 in and be a starter, and these decisions that they 0:15:44.040 --> 0:15:47.040 have to make. I wrote about it on Friday. They 0:15:47.080 --> 0:15:50.320 got to be right. And they've got so many to 0:15:50.480 --> 0:15:54.200 make to fill in at different spots. 0:15:54.920 --> 0:15:57.720 Now, lets you know how important last year was in 0:15:57.760 --> 0:16:01.960 regards to the success of this team, because this was 0:16:02.000 --> 0:16:05.000 the moment where we had everything in place last year 0:16:05.040 --> 0:16:07.520 for the playoffs. Our offensive line was just where we 0:16:07.560 --> 0:16:10.800 wanted to be. Everyone was in place. This is the moment. 0:16:10.880 --> 0:16:13.560 This is when we're going to go forward with the 0:16:13.640 --> 0:16:16.600 leadership of Dak Prescott. And when that didn't work, it 0:16:16.640 --> 0:16:18.080 seems like now it's kind of blowing up. 0:16:18.440 --> 0:16:21.880 It's like unraveling a little bit. Is how it feels, definitely, And. 0:16:22.480 --> 0:16:26.640 What they've done to keep it together last year and 0:16:27.360 --> 0:16:33.520 somewhat this year is putting restructure bonus into voided years 0:16:33.960 --> 0:16:39.200 like next year. Right now, if nothing changed, they'd be 0:16:39.240 --> 0:16:44.880 forty million over the cap because of voided years. There 0:16:44.920 --> 0:16:48.120 would be dead money that they have to account for. 0:16:49.480 --> 0:16:56.760 So you're right, And when you had that many Pro bowlers, right, 0:16:57.880 --> 0:17:03.840 you had the guy that finished what second in the 0:17:03.880 --> 0:17:10.399 Most Valuable Player voting that you had the top wide 0:17:10.440 --> 0:17:15.919 receiver that led the league, you had the guy that 0:17:16.000 --> 0:17:22.720 finished second for Defensive Player of the Year. You had 0:17:22.920 --> 0:17:28.159 all this quality and you flamed out in the And 0:17:28.240 --> 0:17:31.960 now this is when you're paying the penalty right now 0:17:33.119 --> 0:17:36.239 because they still have work to do. Uh. 0:17:36.640 --> 0:17:39.240 Most most teams that that set it up the way 0:17:39.320 --> 0:17:41.200 that Cowboys did last year. 0:17:41.600 --> 0:17:42.600 Like say the Rams. 0:17:42.760 --> 0:17:44.439 This reminds me of the Rams when they went to 0:17:44.480 --> 0:17:50.520 the Super Bowl, right, they succeeded, but then they Now 0:17:50.560 --> 0:17:53.520 the Cowboys are paying the price without having the prize, 0:17:53.560 --> 0:17:55.560 without gaining the prize exactly. 0:17:55.760 --> 0:17:59.399 And that's the biggest penalty of the loss. The loss 0:17:59.520 --> 0:18:01.320 is the laws. But it was. 0:18:01.520 --> 0:18:03.000 Now you're still losing. 0:18:02.680 --> 0:18:07.000 Because you needed to because let's face it, this this 0:18:07.840 --> 0:18:10.600 you know thing about all in. They were all in. 0:18:10.800 --> 0:18:13.680 They were all in last year, right, that's true. 0:18:14.320 --> 0:18:15.560 That is the trade. 0:18:15.680 --> 0:18:18.680 Cannot you cannot deny that. No one can say that 0:18:18.680 --> 0:18:19.320 that's not true. 0:18:19.720 --> 0:18:27.159 And the trades worked well. Now, so yeah, this is 0:18:27.280 --> 0:18:30.280 one of the big decisions they've got to make. Uh, 0:18:30.680 --> 0:18:34.320 and then neck and then center. So those two things. 0:18:34.800 --> 0:18:39.480 This is just right now we're just talking offense. 0:18:38.200 --> 0:18:40.280 And we haven't even got to running back yet. 0:18:40.600 --> 0:18:44.040 And running back we we mentioned it right yea, the 0:18:44.119 --> 0:18:48.320 signing of ric O'Donnell. But you know he's only guaranteed 0:18:48.760 --> 0:18:52.040 one point to cap hit. He's guaranteed two hundred thousand. 0:18:52.800 --> 0:18:56.159 So that kind of tells you that, yeah, we like you, 0:18:56.680 --> 0:19:00.520 but we didn't over extend ourselves to pay you, and 0:19:00.560 --> 0:19:03.919 they really didn't have money to do it. Now. The 0:19:03.960 --> 0:19:08.000 other thing that they did on offense is they released 0:19:08.400 --> 0:19:14.560 Michael Gallup, making him a June one release, and there's 0:19:14.880 --> 0:19:18.919 you know, ramifications for that. Everybody is always quick to 0:19:19.000 --> 0:19:23.720 point out that he would have had a thirteen point 0:19:23.800 --> 0:19:27.880 eight million dollar cap hit for this year. They will 0:19:28.000 --> 0:19:33.399 save his base which is eight point five million, so 0:19:33.440 --> 0:19:36.960 they'll get that back, but not until June second. So 0:19:37.080 --> 0:19:42.200 that's almost like a savings account to pay for your draft, 0:19:42.480 --> 0:19:46.679 all right, But what nobody wants to tell you is 0:19:47.400 --> 0:19:53.399 by releasing him, they will incur thirteen point zero five 0:19:53.520 --> 0:19:57.919 million in dead money. So he will he will cost 0:19:58.000 --> 0:20:01.600 them in dead money this year five point three million. 0:20:02.520 --> 0:20:07.080 I keep I keep having this Amari Cooper in my 0:20:07.240 --> 0:20:08.880 ear right, like this. 0:20:11.520 --> 0:20:14.360 Somewhere in my ear going, hey, I told you so. 0:20:15.240 --> 0:20:19.399 And then and then in twenty twenty five he'll count 0:20:19.480 --> 0:20:23.760 eight million in dead money. Damn, it never goes away, right, 0:20:23.880 --> 0:20:28.399 the guaranteed money restructure, bonus money. At some point you 0:20:28.480 --> 0:20:29.479 got to pay the piper. 0:20:29.640 --> 0:20:31.120 You can't just kick the can down the road. 0:20:31.200 --> 0:20:33.800 Now, it's only so far you can kick it, right, 0:20:33.920 --> 0:20:36.520 and then it's like, oh, we got to absorb this, right, 0:20:37.000 --> 0:20:42.800 So now your third wide receiver, and knowing Brandon Cooks 0:20:43.160 --> 0:20:49.119 is on the last year of his contract, Tony, we 0:20:49.880 --> 0:20:54.280 think Jalen Tobert, you know, he kind of stepped up. 0:20:54.440 --> 0:20:58.320 He did, but again, what if you have an injury 0:20:59.400 --> 0:21:01.560 and then the other guy would have. 0:21:01.520 --> 0:21:05.080 Been Brooks Jalen Brooks. 0:21:05.119 --> 0:21:07.000 He I mean he was interesting, right. 0:21:06.840 --> 0:21:08.919 He made cashes last year. 0:21:08.760 --> 0:21:11.639 When when he was then, So now that's your third 0:21:12.480 --> 0:21:15.880 and I'm thinking if your biggest worries your third receiver, 0:21:17.480 --> 0:21:19.880 he probably got other things to worry about. But it's 0:21:19.920 --> 0:21:23.120 the dead money that no one likes to point out 0:21:23.200 --> 0:21:26.280 that you've got to account for. And that's eight that's 0:21:26.359 --> 0:21:32.240 eight million next year. Uh So I think they tried 0:21:32.400 --> 0:21:37.560 to maybe renegotiate that deal. Agents aren't going to do that. 0:21:38.040 --> 0:21:41.400 They'll take their chance and free agency and see what happens. 0:21:41.440 --> 0:21:44.000 He how many he had a he had a visit 0:21:44.080 --> 0:21:55.840 I who had uh gallup Miami. It was some someone 0:21:56.720 --> 0:21:57.640 at a decent team. 0:21:57.800 --> 0:22:00.879 I hope he goes where they I'm sure. I don't know. 0:22:01.040 --> 0:22:05.240 I've I don't know what's going on with his knee, right, 0:22:05.320 --> 0:22:07.200 and how how well it's going to be next year. 0:22:07.280 --> 0:22:11.000 Sometimes the second year removed is the year when you 0:22:11.080 --> 0:22:13.919 really show what you can do, which is sure what 0:22:13.960 --> 0:22:15.840 he's hoping, but he might want to do it on 0:22:15.880 --> 0:22:18.040 the grass field, right. 0:22:18.720 --> 0:22:20.520 He might be thinking about that. I don't know, I'll 0:22:20.560 --> 0:22:21.119 be thinking that. 0:22:21.440 --> 0:22:24.560 I'm thinking, okay, well to put myself in the best situation, 0:22:25.160 --> 0:22:27.399 go to a place where I can play at home 0:22:27.520 --> 0:22:30.440 on grass at least game at least eight games. 0:22:30.560 --> 0:22:34.200 He is scheduled to meet with the Carolina Panthers Anthers 0:22:34.440 --> 0:22:35.520 sometime this week. 0:22:35.760 --> 0:22:43.840 All right, so, so yeah, that's offensively now they I mean, 0:22:43.960 --> 0:22:46.800 you're talking about one of the best offenses last year 0:22:46.800 --> 0:22:48.240 in the league and. 0:22:48.119 --> 0:22:53.200 You're being dismantled at this point, your center, you're running back, 0:22:53.280 --> 0:22:55.160 running back, and. 0:22:54.840 --> 0:23:00.320 Your wife who by the way, you know he didn't 0:23:00.320 --> 0:23:03.280 play that much well in the in the playoff game. 0:23:04.040 --> 0:23:05.560 He he ended up playing. 0:23:07.880 --> 0:23:09.280 You're talking about Michael Gallups. 0:23:09.359 --> 0:23:11.960 Yes, he was the six percent of the snaps. 0:23:12.280 --> 0:23:15.040 He was honestly one of the standouts in that game. 0:23:15.119 --> 0:23:15.920 He was right. 0:23:16.160 --> 0:23:20.240 Yeah, absolutely, that's a lot to phill. 0:23:20.840 --> 0:23:26.880 Not to mention your backup left tackle. What do you got? 0:23:27.000 --> 0:23:30.119 You know you're gonna look at, well, let's go Josh 0:23:30.200 --> 0:23:34.560 Ball who they moved to guard. I can't imagine, and 0:23:34.640 --> 0:23:39.480 they'll resign a doga. I just think you can. 0:23:40.720 --> 0:23:43.119 So is Josh Ball? Do you think he's a good replacement? 0:23:43.240 --> 0:23:45.320 Will Tylers Smith, I would. 0:23:45.119 --> 0:23:49.520 Say at guard. Yeah, I think t J. Bass might 0:23:49.560 --> 0:23:52.320 have the upper hand there. Really, yeah, because he ended 0:23:52.440 --> 0:23:57.480 up playing a couple of games. You didn't notice. That's like, oh, 0:23:57.640 --> 0:23:59.800 t J basses right. 0:24:00.200 --> 0:24:02.560 So Josh Ball didn't. He can't play it all on. 0:24:02.800 --> 0:24:06.159 No, he did not, and well let's go h I 0:24:06.200 --> 0:24:07.200 don't believe either. 0:24:07.560 --> 0:24:11.560 So I think they activated him at one point, but 0:24:11.600 --> 0:24:12.080 that was it. 0:24:12.400 --> 0:24:18.600 They activated him to practice I think from the injured Yeah, 0:24:18.640 --> 0:24:22.040 I are. So that's kind of where they are on offense. 0:24:22.200 --> 0:24:25.879 And when we continue on mixshots, we'll pay attention to 0:24:25.960 --> 0:24:30.520 the defense. Here at Dallas. On Dallas Cowboys dot. 0:24:30.280 --> 0:24:34.520 Com, I'm Dak Prescott, quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys. 0:24:34.520 --> 0:24:36.600 And they snapped the press guy who looks right, it's 0:24:36.640 --> 0:24:37.040 not there. 0:24:37.280 --> 0:24:39.720 He escaped left. He'll full a first down. 0:24:39.920 --> 0:24:42.440 Just like football, when it comes to crypto, it's important 0:24:42.440 --> 0:24:45.080 to have a team you can trust. With blockchain dot Com, 0:24:45.119 --> 0:24:47.560
