WEBVTT - Cowboys Break: Playing GM 0:00:03.160 --> 0:00:05.680 The following here's a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com 0:00:05.680 --> 0:00:16.480 and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club. Cowboys, Are you ready 0:00:16.480 --> 0:00:20.320 for a break? Yes? Are you ready for a break? Absolutely? 0:00:20.440 --> 0:00:24.640 Ready for a break. Yeah, and so much for that. 0:00:24.840 --> 0:00:29.000 It's time for the break on Dallas Cowboys dot Com 0:00:29.080 --> 0:00:35.120 were with Nick Eatman, David Hellman, and bar Garcia and 0:00:35.440 --> 0:00:41.280 Derek Eagleton. Well, that is not the lineup here today 0:00:41.360 --> 0:00:44.000 for the break, but that's okay. I'm Nick Eatman, David Hellman. 0:00:44.080 --> 0:00:47.440 Isaiah stand Back is in filling in with us today. 0:00:47.479 --> 0:00:50.800 As he is, he skates his way in from the 0:00:51.159 --> 0:00:54.480 ice here. Dave looks like he's ready to go. I 0:00:54.560 --> 0:00:56.680 thought the Olympics was over. No, we got we got 0:00:56.720 --> 0:00:59.720 skiing skating going on. We don't talk weather on this show, 0:00:59.760 --> 0:01:03.040 but yeah, definitely whether it's happening here in North Texas 0:01:03.040 --> 0:01:05.600 and when that happens, everyone freaks out. But sorry, if 0:01:05.640 --> 0:01:08.800 you were in the Winter Olympics, what would you do? Zero? 0:01:08.920 --> 0:01:11.280 I mean like, I was just telling someone this the 0:01:11.319 --> 0:01:13.399 other day. This sounds like a setup, but it's not. 0:01:13.760 --> 0:01:16.240 I was like, I don't relate to this because I 0:01:16.319 --> 0:01:21.520 have done zero things in the Olympics. Everybody is shot 0:01:21.520 --> 0:01:24.759 a basket run, maybe thrown a javelin, done a high jump, 0:01:24.880 --> 0:01:29.520 done something, No one not. I have never done anything 0:01:29.560 --> 0:01:32.760 in the Winter Olympics, not one thing. I've gone ice skating, 0:01:32.800 --> 0:01:35.319 like maybe twice. And when I say ice skating, I 0:01:35.360 --> 0:01:38.000 really mean just sort of like dancing around trying not 0:01:38.040 --> 0:01:40.280 to fall in the in the in the mall. I'll think, 0:01:40.280 --> 0:01:45.800 at the gallery or something. What's the name of one sport? Yeah, 0:01:45.840 --> 0:01:48.080 I could do that. I want to do I want 0:01:48.080 --> 0:01:52.880 to try corn. I wouldn't be good at it. It's like, yeah, 0:01:52.920 --> 0:01:55.080 but you get to play little defense and all that 0:01:55.440 --> 0:01:57.800 same thing. It's the only it's got to be the 0:01:57.800 --> 0:02:00.920 only Olympic sport where it's normal to drink while you 0:02:00.920 --> 0:02:02.840 play it. Like that's a thing you see some of 0:02:02.840 --> 0:02:05.560 those guys. Yeah, oh yeah, yeah, I came straight from 0:02:06.040 --> 0:02:08.160 I could do that. I'd like there to be like 0:02:08.160 --> 0:02:10.120 a curling lodge here in Dallas. I would go. I 0:02:10.120 --> 0:02:13.760 would definitely go. I'll join you. I mean again, that's 0:02:13.800 --> 0:02:16.320 why I don't really relate well to it, because it's 0:02:16.360 --> 0:02:18.760 just just like, oh, I could do that. I couldn't 0:02:19.000 --> 0:02:21.280 mean I could lie on my back and slide down ice. 0:02:21.320 --> 0:02:23.359 But I would probably fall off or what. I don't 0:02:23.360 --> 0:02:25.120 know what your score would be on that, it probably 0:02:25.160 --> 0:02:28.400 would be good. So all right, let's let's talk about 0:02:28.560 --> 0:02:30.200 really what I was gonna say, this is what we 0:02:30.280 --> 0:02:32.080 do in our show. I joined your show the other day, 0:02:32.120 --> 0:02:33.959 y'all were doing like chips and dips and all this 0:02:34.120 --> 0:02:36.400 really crazy stuff. What we do on this, Joe, and 0:02:36.400 --> 0:02:39.000 we sort of already has we go around really quickly. 0:02:39.520 --> 0:02:43.000 What's a sports story. Doesn't have to be to be Cowboy, 0:02:43.080 --> 0:02:45.000 would be the NFL, it could be anything that's kind 0:02:45.000 --> 0:02:48.160 of on your mind right now. I'll start with you, 0:02:48.240 --> 0:02:50.240 Dave and get you a chance to think about it. 0:02:50.240 --> 0:02:52.720 You got any I'm bummed that Derek's not here because 0:02:53.520 --> 0:02:55.480 from the time we were arguing about it on Twitter, 0:02:55.520 --> 0:02:56.720 I was like, oh, I'm gonna take this to the 0:02:56.720 --> 0:02:58.560 show because I want to argue with him about the 0:02:58.560 --> 0:03:02.240 college football Playoff. Well, him and I seem to be 0:03:02.280 --> 0:03:04.040 on the same side. True, we can argue about it 0:03:04.080 --> 0:03:07.840 if you want to. I just the the committee had 0:03:07.919 --> 0:03:11.000 like announced over the weekend that they're not going to 0:03:11.040 --> 0:03:13.760 expand the college football playoff until twenty twenty six at 0:03:13.800 --> 0:03:17.440 the earliest. And I want to be clear I'm fine 0:03:17.480 --> 0:03:20.600 with a bigger playoff, like more football is fun for everybody. 0:03:20.639 --> 0:03:23.639 I just don't. I think it's completely unnecessary. I think 0:03:23.639 --> 0:03:26.560 we've learned over the last seven years that in any 0:03:26.600 --> 0:03:30.079 given year, there's like three teams that are good enough 0:03:30.080 --> 0:03:34.680 to win the national title, sometimes four, but beyond that, 0:03:34.880 --> 0:03:36.960 everybody else is just on a different level. And I 0:03:37.000 --> 0:03:40.040 don't see why we need a bigger field to prove that. Yeah, 0:03:41.280 --> 0:03:44.320 do you do? You agree? I do? You played college football? 0:03:44.360 --> 0:03:46.480 You tell me, yeah, so much. The times have changed, 0:03:47.120 --> 0:03:50.400 the times have changed so much. But I agree with you. 0:03:50.480 --> 0:03:52.120 I think you pretty much know who the top dogs 0:03:52.120 --> 0:03:54.160 are and I don't think that you needn't necessarily add 0:03:54.240 --> 0:03:57.160 to that. I just think we're setting ourselves up for 0:03:57.240 --> 0:04:01.040 more ass whippings. Basically. I mean it's like, cool, um, 0:04:02.320 --> 0:04:06.520 what like so nine and three, nine and three Iowa 0:04:06.560 --> 0:04:09.560 State gets in as like the twelve seed, and maybe 0:04:09.600 --> 0:04:11.960 you play like a great game in the first round 0:04:12.000 --> 0:04:15.520 against the four seed or whatever, and then you get 0:04:15.520 --> 0:04:17.479 your ass kicked. It's like, Okay, I guess this was 0:04:17.520 --> 0:04:20.119 more dramatic for the teams that made it in until 0:04:20.240 --> 0:04:22.240 they had to play the elite teams. I just don't 0:04:22.279 --> 0:04:24.720 see why it's necessary. Yeah, I don't know. I'm looking 0:04:24.720 --> 0:04:28.240 forward to seeing how the whole transfer portal and you know, 0:04:28.480 --> 0:04:30.760 players getting paid now and all these contracts. That's gonna 0:04:30.800 --> 0:04:33.880 really affect the competition this year. Yeah, that's gonna be interesting. 0:04:34.160 --> 0:04:36.080 It's gonna be I think it's gonna still be the 0:04:36.120 --> 0:04:38.479 same because the teams that are good, or of the 0:04:38.480 --> 0:04:40.320 big schools that have the money, and they're the ones 0:04:40.320 --> 0:04:43.520 that are going to pay the most. Probably, I don't know. 0:04:43.560 --> 0:04:45.239 I mean, I argued with you a little bit on Twitter. 0:04:45.320 --> 0:04:47.200 I don't even think it's about the playoffs. I think 0:04:47.240 --> 0:04:50.479 it's about the month ahead of time. I've heard people 0:04:50.480 --> 0:04:54.000 say it waters down if you if you make more teams, 0:04:54.160 --> 0:04:56.440 it waters down the regular season, which I just disagree. 0:04:56.440 --> 0:05:00.240 I think it makes it more compelling November game games. 0:05:00.240 --> 0:05:03.760 I think you've got number seventeen versus number of fourteen. 0:05:04.440 --> 0:05:06.760 Now they're playing for something as opposed to maybe some 0:05:06.839 --> 0:05:09.640 trophy or something like that, like on that Thanksgiving weekend. 0:05:09.680 --> 0:05:12.240 I actually did the math a little bit on this, 0:05:12.760 --> 0:05:15.719 which doesn't happen a lot, but I did some math, 0:05:16.240 --> 0:05:20.000 and I just think it's weird that in the NBA 0:05:20.320 --> 0:05:23.000 sixty six percent of the teams make the playoffs. In 0:05:23.080 --> 0:05:26.240 Major League Baseball, I think thirty percent make the playoffs 0:05:26.440 --> 0:05:30.360 in the NFL, forty three percent in hockey. I think 0:05:30.400 --> 0:05:34.640 it's fifty five percent in college basketball. I haven't done 0:05:34.720 --> 0:05:39.200 the math sixty eight versus three thirty something, but college 0:05:39.200 --> 0:05:43.840 football is zero zero three percent make the playoffs. And 0:05:43.880 --> 0:05:47.040 I just think, I don't think these other regular seasons 0:05:47.080 --> 0:05:49.719 are that bad. And the NBA is like whatever, but 0:05:49.839 --> 0:05:52.159 sixty six percent make it. But in the NFL thirty 0:05:52.240 --> 0:05:54.200 I mean what, forty three percent of the teams make 0:05:54.240 --> 0:05:57.120 it and it's still pretty good regular season. So I 0:05:57.200 --> 0:05:59.919 just think there's room if it's zero zero three percent 0:06:00.200 --> 0:06:04.040 of the college to increased. I hear you, and I mean, 0:06:04.080 --> 0:06:06.320 you're right. I think you would probably make November a 0:06:06.320 --> 0:06:09.360 little bit more dramatic. But if like I guess that's 0:06:09.360 --> 0:06:11.360 my point, It's like it feels gimmicky, like if numbers 0:06:11.480 --> 0:06:13.480 number seventeens play a number fourteen for the right to 0:06:13.480 --> 0:06:17.000 get into the playoffs and get mauled. I just get 0:06:17.080 --> 0:06:19.839 destroyed by the teams that actually belong there reason why 0:06:19.960 --> 0:06:22.599 it's not happening, and they're delaying it is they haven't 0:06:22.600 --> 0:06:26.640 figured out what to do with their precious Bowl games. Yeah, 0:06:26.680 --> 0:06:30.560 that's the thing. These these old guys want to see 0:06:30.600 --> 0:06:32.919 the bowl games and what happens? What do you do 0:06:32.960 --> 0:06:35.320 with all these bowl games? And I think that's seventy 0:06:35.360 --> 0:06:38.320 percent of these Bowl games have to be losing money, yeah, 0:06:38.560 --> 0:06:40.080 I mean they have to be losing money. Yeah. But 0:06:40.240 --> 0:06:42.080 no disrespect to any of the bowl games. I know 0:06:42.080 --> 0:06:43.440 there's a lot of people, a lot of money behind 0:06:43.440 --> 0:06:45.400 these things, but some of the ones that are even 0:06:45.440 --> 0:06:48.400 here in Dallas, like, yeah, you don't go. They're like 0:06:48.480 --> 0:06:50.440 giving tickets away. Yeah you don't. You don't go if 0:06:50.480 --> 0:06:52.080 you live in the area. You don't if you live 0:06:52.080 --> 0:06:55.240 in if you live in like Birmingham, and maybe that's 0:06:55.279 --> 0:06:57.440 the Music City Bowl or something. I don't think you 0:06:57.520 --> 0:07:00.720 just go just because Minnesota is taken on South Carolina. 0:07:00.800 --> 0:07:03.200 I don't think you go. I will that is. I 0:07:03.240 --> 0:07:05.719 think the one benefit of expanding the playoffs is it 0:07:05.760 --> 0:07:11.239 would create more meaningful games, which keeps teams invested instead 0:07:11.280 --> 0:07:15.200 of it's like, oh, we lost that third game, so 0:07:15.400 --> 0:07:18.080 I'm sitting out to start training for the draft, which 0:07:18.280 --> 0:07:20.280 I support anybody that wants to do that. But I 0:07:20.280 --> 0:07:23.400 mean I would be in favor. I'm in favor of 0:07:23.520 --> 0:07:26.920 more games. I guess where people want to play and 0:07:27.120 --> 0:07:30.080 if that gets it done, that's fine. And again, like 0:07:30.120 --> 0:07:34.440 I'm not anti expansion. I just again, we've done seven 0:07:34.480 --> 0:07:37.960 of these I think at this point, and the semifinals 0:07:37.960 --> 0:07:41.480 have been laughable most of those years. Like there have 0:07:41.600 --> 0:07:44.680 probably been three really great semifinals. Oh you and Georgia 0:07:44.720 --> 0:07:48.640 played a classic one year. Obviously, Ohio State won the 0:07:48.680 --> 0:07:51.160 first one as a four seed, So like I get it. 0:07:51.320 --> 0:07:54.440 But by and large, like I said, there's like two 0:07:54.560 --> 0:07:57.160 sometimes three teams and it's always been that way. By 0:07:57.200 --> 0:07:59.160 the way, that was the problem with the BCS is 0:07:59.680 --> 0:08:01.880 every few years there would be a third team that 0:08:01.960 --> 0:08:05.840 gets screwed. But from what we've seen to this point, 0:08:05.960 --> 0:08:08.680 I just I don't think we're seeing anybody get screwed. 0:08:08.720 --> 0:08:11.760 Like there is not a team in the playoff era 0:08:11.840 --> 0:08:14.520 where I'm just like they might they might have won 0:08:14.560 --> 0:08:17.000 if you'd let him in, Like, no, the right team 0:08:17.080 --> 0:08:19.679 won won this thing. Like that's just how I feel. 0:08:20.160 --> 0:08:23.200 All right, let's talk let's talk cowboys, because that's cutting 0:08:23.200 --> 0:08:25.200 an I'm just here all I can think, which I 0:08:25.600 --> 0:08:27.480 like bantering about other things. And I know there are 0:08:27.480 --> 0:08:29.720 people that like it, but I just whenever we go 0:08:29.920 --> 0:08:33.000 off into the weeds, I just picture the guy that's 0:08:33.040 --> 0:08:36.079 just like screaming at his car stereo, like talk about 0:08:36.120 --> 0:08:40.320 the Cowboys. But yet when it comes to Twitter, I've 0:08:40.400 --> 0:08:44.280 never gotten anybody say, y'all don't talk about that. I 0:08:44.360 --> 0:08:46.800 get more people that say, you know, I agree about this, 0:08:46.920 --> 0:08:49.040 or I agree with Dave or whatever. You know, I 0:08:49.320 --> 0:08:52.280 know everyone everyone's got got this thing press the You know, 0:08:52.320 --> 0:08:54.840 you can skip ahead fifteen seconds, just skip to like 0:08:54.920 --> 0:08:56.920 the eighth minute of the show if you don't like it. 0:08:57.040 --> 0:08:59.719 All right, I'm gonna kind of reset things because when 0:08:59.720 --> 0:09:02.360 we have people on here that are different, you want 0:09:02.360 --> 0:09:05.720 to see what they think about big news, big stuff. 0:09:05.840 --> 0:09:08.480 So before we get going on all these other free agents, 0:09:09.360 --> 0:09:12.040 David and I had we don't agree on everything, but 0:09:12.160 --> 0:09:14.480 we have been. We've been agreeing a lot more recently, 0:09:14.640 --> 0:09:18.320 but we definitely, like stand on the table, agree on 0:09:18.360 --> 0:09:22.760 this one. And I want to see where you Amari Cooper. 0:09:23.559 --> 0:09:26.320 What is your take on him and his future? What 0:09:26.320 --> 0:09:29.360 would you do if you were playing Cowboys gam Cowboys, GYM, 0:09:29.440 --> 0:09:32.400 keep them, keep him because you have a hell of 0:09:32.440 --> 0:09:37.440 a player that you're choosing to not utilize. It's not 0:09:37.600 --> 0:09:39.760 that he's getting paid all this money and all of 0:09:39.800 --> 0:09:42.360 a sudden, Oh well, I don't know if he's if 0:09:42.360 --> 0:09:45.400 he's really worth it anymore. No, the conversation is we're 0:09:45.440 --> 0:09:49.040 not using him to the amount that we're paying him. 0:09:49.440 --> 0:09:52.439 So now people are like, oh, let's get rid of them. Like, no, 0:09:52.600 --> 0:09:55.079 that's a you problem. That's that's that's a coordinator problem. 0:09:55.120 --> 0:09:57.880 That's a team problem, and figure that out. Get him 0:09:57.920 --> 0:10:00.720 the ball, because these other teams are getting their guy 0:10:00.960 --> 0:10:05.040 the ball, right, Amaria, is Dallas's receiver? Yes, that's their 0:10:06.240 --> 0:10:10.400 stat wise, not number one, right, but supposedly that's your 0:10:10.480 --> 0:10:14.080 number one. Capability wise, that's your number one, and for 0:10:14.120 --> 0:10:16.600 the most part healthwise, he's still in position to be 0:10:16.600 --> 0:10:19.200 your number one. Right, So there's nothing that's stopping him 0:10:19.520 --> 0:10:21.320 from being your number one. All right, break it, break 0:10:21.320 --> 0:10:24.839 it down. You've played receiver and quarterback position. Is it? 0:10:24.920 --> 0:10:29.960 Is it? Amari Cooper? Is it is? If you'll laugh 0:10:29.960 --> 0:10:32.840 if you knew the quarterback almost name? Is it? Dak 0:10:33.280 --> 0:10:37.640 Is it? Kellen Moore? Like? Yeah, what why is Davantae 0:10:37.720 --> 0:10:40.760 Adams getting these targets in Cooper Cumming? Why but break 0:10:40.800 --> 0:10:43.480 it down. Why I've been standing on the table and saying, 0:10:43.559 --> 0:10:47.199 Kellen Moore, that's been me. The reason being because you 0:10:47.200 --> 0:10:49.679 can scheme your way to get your guy the ball. 0:10:50.160 --> 0:10:51.840 Think about the time, what I don't remember what week, 0:10:51.840 --> 0:10:53.680 it was, maybe fourteen or something like that, when a 0:10:53.720 --> 0:10:56.720 Mari Cooper Cooper, who's a very you know, docile, kind 0:10:56.760 --> 0:10:59.000 of quiet guy, goes about his business is the week 0:10:59.040 --> 0:11:02.040 of Christmas, he just he got he was tired of it. 0:11:02.400 --> 0:11:04.920 He was pissed. That was his way of yelling. That 0:11:05.080 --> 0:11:08.960 was his that was his you know, Odell Beckham yelling tillo, 0:11:09.120 --> 0:11:11.080 who ELPs you really want throwing that category? That was 0:11:11.120 --> 0:11:13.319 his version of it, right, Instead of going out there 0:11:13.320 --> 0:11:15.600 and becoming front page news, he was just like, you know, 0:11:15.679 --> 0:11:18.480 I can't I can't throw it and catch it. Yeah, 0:11:18.520 --> 0:11:21.760 you know that's him yelling. You know, that's that's him. 0:11:21.840 --> 0:11:24.920 That's him pissed off, right because normally he keeps those 0:11:24.920 --> 0:11:27.600 things bottled up. So what happened that that next week 0:11:28.120 --> 0:11:30.480 he got like ten or eleven targets. Dude, I mean 0:11:30.520 --> 0:11:32.920 he got like six catches on the first drive. Yeah, right, 0:11:32.920 --> 0:11:34.680 he got all those targets on the first drive. Along, 0:11:34.720 --> 0:11:36.640 so they force fed him the ball. So why is 0:11:36.640 --> 0:11:41.040 it that you can get him involved when he speaks out, 0:11:41.679 --> 0:11:44.000 but any other time. Oh, it's just you know, we 0:11:44.080 --> 0:11:46.120 kind of have to go with what the defense gives us. 0:11:46.679 --> 0:11:49.080 We gotta spread the ball around. We don't force feed 0:11:49.120 --> 0:11:51.680 people like there's no excuse because to your point, you know, 0:11:51.880 --> 0:11:54.760 as you start naming these other number one receivers, they 0:11:54.840 --> 0:11:57.120 all don't have a problem getting the ball. When you 0:11:57.120 --> 0:11:59.280 look at the Super Bowl, the last drive, who's gonna 0:11:59.280 --> 0:12:03.280 get the ball? Cooper Cup? Cooper Cup? Can you stop it? No? 0:12:03.559 --> 0:12:07.440 Eli could not, couldn't. I actually I haven't looked at this, 0:12:07.960 --> 0:12:10.600 which I knew it would be low, but I hadn't 0:12:10.600 --> 0:12:15.679 looked it up specifically. Amari Cooper ranked thirty eighth in 0:12:16.040 --> 0:12:20.520 targets among NFL pass catchers. That includes tight ends, That 0:12:20.559 --> 0:12:24.000 includes tight ends. But like and again, for the money, 0:12:24.040 --> 0:12:25.760 you're like, oh, for the money, you're supposed to do this, 0:12:25.800 --> 0:12:27.640 that and the other. A few of the guys at 0:12:27.679 --> 0:12:29.840 the top of the list, like obviously DeAndre Hopkins missed 0:12:29.840 --> 0:12:31.560 a lot of the season. Julio Jones is in and 0:12:31.600 --> 0:12:33.640 out of the lineup all the time, But like Keenan 0:12:33.679 --> 0:12:37.319 Allen finished in the top twenty in targets, Tyree Hill 0:12:37.440 --> 0:12:40.800 finished seventh and targets. Tyler Lockett finished way above them 0:12:40.800 --> 0:12:44.600 in targets. Mike Evans like, all these guys are getting 0:12:44.800 --> 0:12:47.720 dozens more opportunities at the ball than Amari Cooper did 0:12:47.840 --> 0:12:50.200 this year. Where is Ceedee Lamb in that list? Ceedee 0:12:50.240 --> 0:12:52.920 Lamb is above Amar Actually, okay, that's what I want 0:12:52.960 --> 0:12:55.319 to know. Ceedee Lamb finished twenty fourth in the league 0:12:55.320 --> 0:12:59.760 in targets one hundred and twenty. I guarantee that Kelsey 0:13:00.040 --> 0:13:02.240 and Tyreek Hill are probably in there, But I want 0:13:02.280 --> 0:13:04.800 to know how many teammates are in the top forty. 0:13:05.280 --> 0:13:08.199 Good question, because that I mean, Davante Adams is the 0:13:08.280 --> 0:13:10.199 next guy in the Green Bay is not in there. 0:13:10.440 --> 0:13:13.520 So I see Kelsey and Hill are in there. Um. 0:13:13.559 --> 0:13:16.199 I see Marquis Brown and Mark Andrews are both in 0:13:16.240 --> 0:13:23.000 the top ten, which is amazing. Stefan Diggs and Cole Beasley. Um, 0:13:23.000 --> 0:13:26.880 So there's a good amount, yeah, especially when you take 0:13:26.880 --> 0:13:29.520 into the context that that was the only two receivers 0:13:29.520 --> 0:13:31.800 that I heard I heard tight end receivers I didn't hear. 0:13:32.400 --> 0:13:34.000 But you also take into a context of Deck was 0:13:34.120 --> 0:13:37.200 leading the league in passing yards right, and Dallas was 0:13:37.280 --> 0:13:40.240 total offense all that jet. So there's really there's noise. 0:13:40.440 --> 0:13:42.960 I hear what you're saying. But there's no excuse for 0:13:43.040 --> 0:13:45.199 him not to get the ball. There's been no conversations 0:13:45.200 --> 0:13:49.439 about Amari's not getting open, Amari slow. You know, he's 0:13:49.480 --> 0:13:51.560 lost a step, his route runnings fell off. You haven't 0:13:51.559 --> 0:13:55.520 heard any negative connotations in regards to his abilities. Yeah, 0:13:55.559 --> 0:13:58.800 but it's all coming back to what targets. Evans and 0:13:58.840 --> 0:14:01.480 Godwin both finished in the top thirty as well as 0:14:01.559 --> 0:14:07.439 did Um. Jamar Chase finished top Jamar Chase finished twenty 0:14:07.440 --> 0:14:09.440 and t Higgins was thirty one. So I mean, so 0:14:09.480 --> 0:14:13.080 it happens, it's doable. It happens. Okay, it's doable, and 0:14:13.160 --> 0:14:16.640 that's you know, and I agree. I mean, I just 0:14:16.679 --> 0:14:18.960 think I think it always comes down to kind of 0:14:18.960 --> 0:14:22.480 this sense of arrogance of we do what we do 0:14:22.640 --> 0:14:25.720 and stop us because if you want to take him away, 0:14:25.920 --> 0:14:29.680 I'll just throw it to Cedric Wilson and sometimes that works. 0:14:29.760 --> 0:14:32.160 But like I just I think there's got to be 0:14:32.200 --> 0:14:35.520 this this balance and we all were here or we 0:14:35.520 --> 0:14:38.600 we we definitely know that when Dak was younger, and 0:14:38.640 --> 0:14:41.320 then another wide receiver was chirping all the time about 0:14:41.360 --> 0:14:43.360 winning the ball, and then the next week it would 0:14:43.360 --> 0:14:46.520 just throw dads the ball and that didn't always work out. 0:14:47.080 --> 0:14:49.280 So I'm not I'm not saying this is the same. 0:14:49.400 --> 0:14:51.600 It's just there's a middle balance of like there is, 0:14:51.880 --> 0:14:54.840 and that's that's what they haven't figured out just yet. 0:14:54.920 --> 0:14:57.720 But if you take out all the receivers, you just 0:14:57.840 --> 0:14:59.920 name right the number one receivers. If you take that, 0:15:00.000 --> 0:15:02.000 I'm out of it and just don't target them, pretty 0:15:02.080 --> 0:15:05.000 much like Dallas doesn't really target Amari. How successful all 0:15:05.000 --> 0:15:09.680 those teams, I'm sure they're not that I would assume not. Yeah, well, 0:15:10.840 --> 0:15:14.360 right to argue against myself, which I love to do. 0:15:15.200 --> 0:15:19.280 Nobody makes me bleed my home blind. Right, Nice nice 0:15:19.280 --> 0:15:22.520 reference there. I mean, that'd be one thing if Amari 0:15:22.600 --> 0:15:25.520 didn't get the ball against the forty nine ers. But 0:15:25.520 --> 0:15:28.560 but CD got fourteen targets, but he got like one 0:15:28.680 --> 0:15:31.800 or two. Have CD disappeared from that game? He didn't 0:15:31.840 --> 0:15:34.920 get targeted until like the third quarter. And they weren't running, 0:15:35.640 --> 0:15:40.240 they weren't willing anything. What were doing they were It's losing. 0:15:40.280 --> 0:15:43.160 And that's why I always leaned back and say Kellen Moore, 0:15:43.320 --> 0:15:46.960 Kellen Moore, you're in position to get your your resources. Yeah, 0:15:47.080 --> 0:15:50.200 your guys the ball. That is your job now underneath 0:15:50.280 --> 0:15:54.520 Kellen Moore is Dak, right, Dak. Now from the guidance 0:15:54.680 --> 0:15:57.680 in a direction that you're given by your office a coordinator, 0:15:58.000 --> 0:16:00.680 is now your job to now facilitate and ensure that 0:16:00.800 --> 0:16:03.360 these guys get the ball based around whatever the defense 0:16:03.480 --> 0:16:05.480 is allowing you to, you know, to take advantage of. 0:16:05.840 --> 0:16:08.360 So it is a killing Moore and Dak Prescott thing. 0:16:08.520 --> 0:16:10.760 It can't just be a Dak Prescott thing. This is 0:16:10.840 --> 0:16:14.400 not This is not Cleveland and Baker Mayfield just hating 0:16:14.440 --> 0:16:17.280 on Odell Beckham. That's not that situation, right, This is hey, 0:16:17.920 --> 0:16:21.520 this your coordinator is just simply saying we'll get it 0:16:21.560 --> 0:16:23.520 to other guys. We're not going to force feed it. 0:16:23.760 --> 0:16:26.480 But in reality we're seeing you need to get cooped 0:16:26.560 --> 0:16:30.520 the ball. I'll put you on the spot. Can da 0:16:30.680 --> 0:16:34.400 make all the throws? No? Which throw? Can't you make? 0:16:34.960 --> 0:16:36.960 Dak's velocity. I've been saying this for the last year 0:16:37.000 --> 0:16:39.280 and a half, and even when when Andy two years 0:16:39.280 --> 0:16:42.080 almost when Andy Dalton got signed, I stood up and 0:16:42.120 --> 0:16:43.920 said any Dalton has a better arm than Dak and 0:16:44.000 --> 0:16:47.720 people lost it. Oh you gotta be kidding me. I'm 0:16:47.720 --> 0:16:51.280 talking about velocity. Yeah, I'm talking about velocity, and people 0:16:51.280 --> 0:16:54.840 were people Dack's not Mahomes or Stafford, which not at all. 0:16:54.960 --> 0:16:58.600 But which is it the fifteen yard out or what 0:16:58.920 --> 0:17:00.920 it's surprisingly if you go back and watch the film, 0:17:00.960 --> 0:17:03.800 it's not even just one particular route. If you watch 0:17:03.960 --> 0:17:08.960 his curls Lady's throwing the balls dying out, the ball 0:17:09.000 --> 0:17:10.960 should go through the target, you should. It should be 0:17:11.119 --> 0:17:14.359 on such a rope that if the receiver wasn't there, 0:17:14.400 --> 0:17:15.520 it should go all the way through the dog on 0:17:15.600 --> 0:17:18.320 sideline right. But instead you're seeing the balls even on 0:17:18.400 --> 0:17:22.040 swing routes, screen routes, balls dying out. The nose of 0:17:22.119 --> 0:17:24.600 the ball is literally diving towards the ground. And it's 0:17:24.640 --> 0:17:27.000 on so many of his throws. This was before the 0:17:27.080 --> 0:17:29.600 shoulder injury. This is after the shoulder injury. You can 0:17:29.720 --> 0:17:31.359 people can point their finger as oh, well he had 0:17:31.400 --> 0:17:33.359 this injury. It has nothing to do with that. He 0:17:33.480 --> 0:17:36.119 has to increase his velocity, whether that being core strength, 0:17:36.200 --> 0:17:37.680 with it that being his legs, whether it be in 0:17:37.760 --> 0:17:39.240 his arm. There's a whole lot of things that go 0:17:39.320 --> 0:17:41.200 into increase in velocity, but he has to work on 0:17:41.320 --> 0:17:45.560 that and it's just not there. Well, can you work 0:17:45.600 --> 0:17:49.919 on that absolutely absolutely pointness? Absolutely like it almost seems 0:17:49.920 --> 0:17:51.520 like you have it or you know, no, absolutely no, 0:17:51.560 --> 0:17:54.000 you could work on it. Okay, So that might be 0:17:54.119 --> 0:17:56.159 part of it. And then that's and that's your opinion, 0:17:56.359 --> 0:17:58.760 I bet you not. Everyone says that. If they do, 0:17:58.960 --> 0:18:02.480 they don't say it loudly. Um, so that could be 0:18:02.560 --> 0:18:05.200 a part of it too. The play is for Amari 0:18:05.280 --> 0:18:06.960 Cooper to do this. You go to the line of scrimmage. 0:18:06.960 --> 0:18:09.240 You see, Okay, the coverage is gonna be a little different, 0:18:09.240 --> 0:18:10.440 So to get him the ball, it's gonna be a 0:18:10.520 --> 0:18:15.480 different throw, I'm going Schultz. But but but again it 0:18:15.560 --> 0:18:18.520 goes back to Kellen Moore. If you're gonna keep putting, 0:18:18.680 --> 0:18:20.040 what was the issue when TiO was here? Right, I 0:18:20.080 --> 0:18:22.040 was on a roster, TiO was on the outside. You 0:18:22.160 --> 0:18:23.680 rolled to a certain coverage all of a sudden, you 0:18:23.680 --> 0:18:25.320 either have to throw an amazing ball into a honey 0:18:25.359 --> 0:18:27.679 hoole or you just don't throw him the ball right? 0:18:27.720 --> 0:18:29.639 And then who who got the ball with right? Dumping 0:18:29.640 --> 0:18:31.480 off the wick he's inside all day. If that's the 0:18:31.560 --> 0:18:34.560 situation that you're facing, wouldn't you, as an officerve coordinator, 0:18:34.600 --> 0:18:37.800 then move Amari Cooper to the inside. Yeah, you would think. 0:18:38.320 --> 0:18:40.639 But they were drawing plays up in the dirt back then, right, 0:18:41.000 --> 0:18:46.360 that was okay, probably all right, fitting fittingly for that point. 0:18:46.520 --> 0:18:49.199 Dalton Schultz finished with as many targets as Amari Cooper did. 0:18:49.720 --> 0:18:53.280 Yeah so he so they had three in the top forty. Yeah, okay, 0:18:54.160 --> 0:18:58.440 do that see who live on the air. Okay, no, no, 0:18:58.680 --> 0:19:01.760 we're about to take a break here, but we're gonna 0:19:01.760 --> 0:19:04.560 play a game of dominoes, really, and then I think 0:19:04.640 --> 0:19:07.680 that's the Marii Cooper decision is what starts it. And 0:19:07.800 --> 0:19:10.400 then they'll just got to go from there in terms 0:19:10.440 --> 0:19:12.240 of free agency, because that's what has to happen. You 0:19:12.280 --> 0:19:14.320 gotta figure out, you got to prioritize what you're gonna do, 0:19:14.760 --> 0:19:16.399 and then that kind of goes from there. All right, 0:19:16.400 --> 0:19:18.040 we're gonna take our first break. We'll be right back 0:19:18.040 --> 0:19:20.200 here to talk about some dominoes when we come back 0:19:20.920 --> 0:19:24.360 at ATNC, everyone new and existing customers get our best 0:19:24.440 --> 0:19:27.679 deals on every smartphone.
