Welcome to 0:00:47.240 --> 0:00:49.440 the latest edition of the break Lock Nest of NBC 0:00:49.560 --> 0:00:52.720 Mortgage Studios at the Star. And I can see by 0:00:52.720 --> 0:00:54.880 the looking guys, I'm about to throw a wrench at day. 0:00:54.920 --> 0:00:58.320 I mean it, Nick, give me a sixty two. Yeah, 0:00:58.360 --> 0:01:00.240 I wasn't ready for it, and this is not a 0:01:00.240 --> 0:01:02.840 good one. The only guy I can think of is 0:01:03.320 --> 0:01:07.600 Brian Baldinger. Brian Baldinger played for the Cowboys. Yeah anywhere 0:01:07.720 --> 0:01:10.800 sixty two, the one that does the tape break. Yeah. 0:01:11.360 --> 0:01:13.440 I had no idea he played for the Cowboys. Yeah, oh, 0:01:13.520 --> 0:01:16.440 no questioning, No, he did in the eighties. He was 0:01:16.480 --> 0:01:19.960 like their lineman sixty two. I'm probably like played, I 0:01:20.000 --> 0:01:23.200 don't know, eighty three, eighty four, eighty five. I just 0:01:23.319 --> 0:01:25.360 I know him from the stuff he does for NFL Network, 0:01:25.400 --> 0:01:27.280 But I didn't know that he would play for the Cowboys. 0:01:27.319 --> 0:01:31.280 Yeah he did. He didn't. I can't think he's any good. No, 0:01:31.480 --> 0:01:33.679 I mean not really. I don't think he played for 0:01:33.680 --> 0:01:36.520 that long. You're right in the middle. Five years six yeah, 0:01:36.600 --> 0:01:39.720 five years with the Cowboys with the Cowboys, Yeah, eighty 0:01:39.840 --> 0:01:43.000 this is it's not a lot of sixty. This is 0:01:43.040 --> 0:01:46.800 a this is a Marco Rivera. Yeah, good job. Yeah, 0:01:47.600 --> 0:01:50.400 Parcels was all over that signing and that didn't work out. 0:01:50.440 --> 0:01:52.600 He hurt his back and hurt his back in his 0:01:52.680 --> 0:01:54.760 first week here. It was. Yeah, it was one of 0:01:54.800 --> 0:02:00.000 the bad ones. John Fitzgerald, Yeah he was a good player. Seventies. Yeah. 0:01:59.840 --> 0:02:02.400 I just picture like older fans just like, come on, 0:02:02.520 --> 0:02:11.880 you don't know the answer. Yeah, but like currently, oh 0:02:12.600 --> 0:02:15.600 to sixty two is the guy. I'm just like, okay, 0:02:15.600 --> 0:02:18.240 he'll be cut like sixty sixty. There he's wearing sixty. 0:02:19.280 --> 0:02:22.000 All I could think it was Braylon Jones this year. 0:02:22.040 --> 0:02:26.000 I think the Houston, Houston Guard Center. I think he's 0:02:26.040 --> 0:02:28.640 still he's still here. I think he just thinks two's 0:02:28.680 --> 0:02:31.440 on the practice squad. The water Boy, a movie you 0:02:31.560 --> 0:02:37.280 probably never seen. Okay, yeah, he wore sixty two. No, no, 0:02:37.400 --> 0:02:39.360 but he gets poked in the eye or something, or 0:02:39.360 --> 0:02:41.680 somebody said one the other team, and he was just 0:02:41.720 --> 0:02:44.160 like sixty two and he just goes and just like 0:02:44.200 --> 0:02:47.200 annihilates him. It's good. It's a good, good movie. No, 0:02:47.520 --> 0:02:50.000 not a good better than Hoosiers and Adam Sandler movie. 0:02:50.720 --> 0:02:52.639 What you told me Hoosiers is one. I should watch 0:02:53.320 --> 0:02:58.520 Hoosiers and water Boy. No, they're not the same. It's 0:02:58.560 --> 0:03:00.760 a different type of thing. It's like, no one in 0:03:01.080 --> 0:03:04.880 no one's gone out and bought the water Boys soundtrack. 0:03:05.040 --> 0:03:08.640 You know who's your sound I'm sure people. Nick and 0:03:08.680 --> 0:03:11.800 all of his closest friends can quote Hoosiers from beginning 0:03:11.800 --> 0:03:13.560 to end. And he spends all of his time with 0:03:13.600 --> 0:03:16.160 the only two guys who have never seen it. It's okay, 0:03:16.680 --> 0:03:18.560 it's okay. It's an older it's an older movie. It's 0:03:18.800 --> 0:03:20.960 a it's a good movie. You know, it's funny, it's 0:03:20.960 --> 0:03:22.679 a great movie. You know, we always are like two 0:03:22.680 --> 0:03:26.120 America's why why is it quite often Dave ends up 0:03:26.120 --> 0:03:28.480 in my America then in your America? Like it's kind 0:03:28.480 --> 0:03:30.600 of interesting. I saw this on Twitter last night. I 0:03:30.639 --> 0:03:32.440 was like, there was one of those moments. I was like, 0:03:32.600 --> 0:03:35.600 Dave's in my America for some reason. Like, I mean, look, 0:03:35.880 --> 0:03:39.880 I am, I can be very painfully white. Okay, I 0:03:39.920 --> 0:03:43.720 just want to make that clear, but really funny. I 0:03:44.760 --> 0:03:47.960 grew up in New Orleans, Louisiana, so I got a 0:03:47.960 --> 0:03:49.640 little bit of both. You know, I don't know, I 0:03:49.640 --> 0:03:52.920 don't know what to say. You okay, are you okay? 0:03:53.040 --> 0:03:56.960 You got him with this thing, like, yeah, I wasn't 0:03:56.960 --> 0:03:59.440 ready for that one. I've said this a lot, and 0:03:59.680 --> 0:04:02.640 I have another friend that's that's this way, But Dave 0:04:02.760 --> 0:04:04.160 is one of the few people that I know him. 0:04:04.680 --> 0:04:06.280 I mean, I feel like I know a lot about 0:04:06.360 --> 0:04:09.960 some things like Cowboy jerseys or Super Bowls, final four 0:04:10.080 --> 0:04:12.280 is whatever. Dave is one of those people that knows 0:04:12.320 --> 0:04:15.400 a lot about a lot, and that is very very impressive. 0:04:15.440 --> 0:04:17.800 I'm very well rounded. Yeah, I mean, if you could 0:04:17.960 --> 0:04:20.760 probably hang in there and talk politics with you today 0:04:20.800 --> 0:04:23.599 and stuff that's going on and all that, yeah, I've 0:04:23.600 --> 0:04:26.160 had some those, right, you know. And then but then 0:04:26.360 --> 0:04:28.480 he knows you know a lot of sports stuff too, 0:04:28.680 --> 0:04:31.320 rapp movies stuff, all that kind of stuff. The key 0:04:31.360 --> 0:04:34.920 to it literally, anytime I'm curious about something, I just 0:04:34.960 --> 0:04:37.920 go down to Wikipedia wormhole. I did it last night. 0:04:38.000 --> 0:04:42.960 I found it doing the crossword puzzle and you were cheating. Well, 0:04:43.000 --> 0:04:45.840 I also I do a lot of crosswords too, But no, 0:04:46.000 --> 0:04:48.039 like I'll just I'll hear something be like I don't 0:04:48.080 --> 0:04:51.600 know anything about that, like some I saw a video 0:04:51.600 --> 0:04:54.600 the other day about some random like castle in Scotland 0:04:54.640 --> 0:04:56.320 and I was like, I've never heard of that. Where 0:04:56.400 --> 0:04:59.160 is that? Google it. Forty minutes later, I'm into like 0:04:59.279 --> 0:05:01.839 five different articles. Don't even remember why I googled it. 0:05:01.920 --> 0:05:04.200 I'd probably do that twice a day, you know, And 0:05:04.200 --> 0:05:06.080 that's why. Yeah, well I shouldn't tell my boss that, 0:05:06.240 --> 0:05:08.440 but I don't as long as I'm doing it at work. 0:05:10.360 --> 0:05:14.160 Depends on the day. Maybe in the off season. You know. 0:05:14.360 --> 0:05:16.600 I almost was about to say something like that's a 0:05:16.640 --> 0:05:18.919 good thing. There's not. We're not playing like this. You know, 0:05:19.160 --> 0:05:21.160 great team, great game coming up. But you know what 0:05:21.200 --> 0:05:23.520 we get. We get a lot of people on Twitter 0:05:23.920 --> 0:05:27.320 that say to us, they appreciate this, Yeah, they liked 0:05:27.400 --> 0:05:30.200 this stuff. They like talking about college football. You know 0:05:30.200 --> 0:05:32.760 what it is? Those are the people that have that 0:05:32.920 --> 0:05:35.520 essentially live with us and what I mean by that 0:05:35.720 --> 0:05:38.680 is they are with us every day throughout the season, 0:05:38.839 --> 0:05:40.919 in the off season. They've been doing this for years, 0:05:41.200 --> 0:05:43.560 so to them, it's just like sitting around with friends 0:05:43.640 --> 0:05:45.880 having conversation and just listening to the conversation. So it 0:05:45.920 --> 0:05:47.719 works for them. It's the people that came in for 0:05:47.760 --> 0:05:49.360 the first time and like, let me check out this 0:05:49.400 --> 0:05:52.760 thing called the Cowboys break and then they hear us 0:05:52.800 --> 0:05:56.200 talking a minute six and we haven't said anything about 0:05:56.240 --> 0:05:58.680 for you guys, we apologize, you'll get you. The one 0:05:58.720 --> 0:06:00.560 thing we've said about the Cowboys so far is that 0:06:00.600 --> 0:06:03.600 we can't think of anybody who wore sixty two. By 0:06:03.600 --> 0:06:06.679 the way, Tony Tilbert or to Tilbert or for minute, 0:06:06.720 --> 0:06:08.640 we're coming in with some names. No, he wore it 0:06:08.640 --> 0:06:11.560 in that Darren Woodson were forty five, Jason Witten were 0:06:11.640 --> 0:06:14.080 forty nine. Type thing like Okay, we don't know if 0:06:14.080 --> 0:06:15.920 you're gonna be a good player. We're gonna you're not 0:06:15.920 --> 0:06:18.320 gonna get a nineties yet. And then you start, you 0:06:18.360 --> 0:06:20.560 start bawling out, and and real quick I gotta figure 0:06:20.600 --> 0:06:23.120 out I didn't even know what movie I haven't seen that. 0:06:23.160 --> 0:06:26.160 Everybody was like, oh my god, you gotta we gotta 0:06:26.200 --> 0:06:28.240 figure that out. Well, you haven't seen anything that came 0:06:28.240 --> 0:06:31.159 out before like nineteen seventy five, So I've never actually 0:06:31.200 --> 0:06:34.480 seen anything. I've never seen a movie in my life 0:06:34.480 --> 0:06:37.040 that it's older than me, right ever, really, I mean, 0:06:37.120 --> 0:06:39.960 that's that's incredible to me. Like never, I haven't seen 0:06:40.040 --> 0:06:42.440 any movie the easy one. I mean, you never seen 0:06:42.480 --> 0:06:46.000 a codfather never sends a horse gets cut off in 0:06:46.040 --> 0:06:48.359 the horse's head in the bed or something like that. 0:06:48.279 --> 0:06:51.200 That's all. That's all I know. Cassablanca, like the most 0:06:51.240 --> 0:06:55.560 famous movie ever. I don't give a damn. Yeah, I know, Hey, 0:06:55.720 --> 0:06:58.240 you know what this stuff used to buy it? I'm 0:06:58.240 --> 0:07:00.000 gonna mark that was that? Is that the right movie 0:07:00.320 --> 0:07:01.800 that's gone with the winner? Yeah, this is all the 0:07:01.839 --> 0:07:03.880 same thing for him. But it's all the same thing 0:07:03.880 --> 0:07:07.039 that stuff used to bother me. And now I'm just like, 0:07:07.160 --> 0:07:09.800 move your life, man, life's too short from you. Everybody's 0:07:09.800 --> 0:07:12.000 got their own thing. I don't care if you've seen it, 0:07:12.040 --> 0:07:13.880 if you don't care, and we can just move on 0:07:13.920 --> 0:07:17.080 with our lives. Yeah, all right, let's talk some Cowboys football. No, 0:07:17.840 --> 0:07:19.880 here's what we're gonna do. Actually, in the second segment 0:07:19.920 --> 0:07:22.560 here today we're gonna be joined by a former co 0:07:22.720 --> 0:07:25.760 host of The Break from a long time ago when 0:07:25.760 --> 0:07:28.960 we were still young man Nick, I think, yeah, we 0:07:29.040 --> 0:07:33.000 were really young, younger, much much younger. But Deal Wall 0:07:33.080 --> 0:07:35.640 is gonna be joined us. He now is a news 0:07:35.720 --> 0:07:38.320 anchor out in Kansas City, so we'll have her join 0:07:38.400 --> 0:07:41.200 We'll talk a little bit like Billboard worthy. Yeah like no, 0:07:41.360 --> 0:07:44.640 like like literally like come and join us today. We're 0:07:44.800 --> 0:07:47.360 talking about whatever like she does the news, like the 0:07:47.440 --> 0:07:50.200 hard news. So yeah, we'll have her join us here 0:07:50.240 --> 0:07:52.920 in the second segment, and we're going to uh, I 0:07:53.000 --> 0:07:54.680 can't take a stroll down memory lane. She'll te U 0:07:54.680 --> 0:07:56.360 a little bit about what's happening now in Kansas City 0:07:56.360 --> 0:07:58.200 as well as we prepare for our trip out there 0:07:58.200 --> 0:08:01.400 this weekend. But before we get to that, though I 0:08:01.440 --> 0:08:03.040 did want to, I had a topic I wanted to 0:08:03.120 --> 0:08:04.160 hit it. I think we're gonna have to take a 0:08:04.200 --> 0:08:05.960 little bit more time on so I'm gonna go to 0:08:06.000 --> 0:08:07.800 my secondary topic right now because I only got a 0:08:07.800 --> 0:08:10.120 few minutes before we go to our first break. I 0:08:10.200 --> 0:08:14.040 was interested yesterday that Jordan Lewis was a topic of 0:08:14.120 --> 0:08:17.280 discussion with a lot of the coaches who talked to 0:08:17.520 --> 0:08:20.000 McCarthy talked about him, Dan quinn talked about it, and 0:08:20.000 --> 0:08:23.160 they said things like he's competitive and aggressive. They said 0:08:23.200 --> 0:08:25.720 he's excellent quickness and tackling and that's important for a 0:08:25.800 --> 0:08:29.000 slot guy. Said he was down for any challenge, way 0:08:29.040 --> 0:08:31.560 past scrappy was the part I really loved that. They said. 0:08:31.960 --> 0:08:34.280 My question for you guys is this year we've seen 0:08:35.280 --> 0:08:37.600 you know when you think about it, Antonio, I mean, 0:08:37.640 --> 0:08:40.800 I'm sorry. Anthony Brown has been really good at the 0:08:40.800 --> 0:08:44.000 opposite corner from Treyvon Diggs. You got Jordan Lewis was 0:08:44.040 --> 0:08:46.280 playing a really nice had a really nice game this week. 0:08:46.280 --> 0:08:49.200 It's played pretty good this season. In a year like this, 0:08:49.240 --> 0:08:51.199 where the Cowboys went all in last year in the 0:08:51.280 --> 0:08:54.360 draft with cornerbacks, how much do you think it's setting 0:08:54.400 --> 0:08:56.760 back those guys and their ability to be able to 0:08:56.760 --> 0:08:59.360 get on the field and start trying to figure this 0:08:59.400 --> 0:09:02.839 thing out. Because these guys are playing so well and 0:09:03.080 --> 0:09:05.720 the likelihood is that at least one of them, maybe 0:09:05.760 --> 0:09:07.560 both of them won't be back next year. That's a 0:09:07.559 --> 0:09:11.120 long question, a question, and I know that's one of 0:09:11.160 --> 0:09:18.080 your pet beeves, So I mean, my first thought, honestly 0:09:18.160 --> 0:09:22.199 was like I don't care like like because the fact 0:09:22.200 --> 0:09:25.040 that these guys are playing playing well. I mean, so 0:09:25.360 --> 0:09:28.760 I don't think it matters if Kelvin Joseph's getting set 0:09:28.840 --> 0:09:32.600 back or Nashan Ryde or whatever, just because you know, 0:09:32.840 --> 0:09:35.640 these other guys are playing well and and and that's 0:09:35.760 --> 0:09:38.040 they're they're they're making plays. I think it's a lot 0:09:38.080 --> 0:09:39.480 of it has to do with the scheme. I think 0:09:39.520 --> 0:09:41.920 the past rush has been good. It's helping these guys 0:09:41.960 --> 0:09:44.640 that they're they're seeing the ball, everything's staying in front 0:09:44.679 --> 0:09:46.319 of them, they're making plays on the ball. I think 0:09:46.400 --> 0:09:49.360 Joseph would probably you know, he's not too far from 0:09:49.400 --> 0:09:51.760 getting out there and playing. I don't think it. He 0:09:51.840 --> 0:09:54.240 is getting some playing, he's getting he's getting some you know, 0:09:54.360 --> 0:09:57.920 second round, third round picks. You want them to contribute, 0:09:58.040 --> 0:09:59.839 you don't. You don't have to be on the field 0:10:00.040 --> 0:10:01.679 right now. If it was your first round pick. You know, 0:10:01.679 --> 0:10:05.320 if they would have drafted Horn, you know, or certain 0:10:05.480 --> 0:10:08.839 and they weren't as good as Anthony Brown or Jordan Lewis, 0:10:08.920 --> 0:10:11.640 then that would be weird kind of and you know, 0:10:11.679 --> 0:10:14.000 but I don't think it's that big of a problem 0:10:14.080 --> 0:10:17.400 right now. I'd love the question because it makes me 0:10:17.440 --> 0:10:20.080 feel smart because you can go finding the tape as 0:10:20.160 --> 0:10:23.400 soon as as soon as Horn and Certan went off 0:10:23.400 --> 0:10:25.280 the board. This is what you were signing up for. 0:10:25.480 --> 0:10:28.680 This is the likelihood. We said it all summer. I 0:10:28.720 --> 0:10:30.400 think it's gonna be hard for these guys to beat 0:10:30.440 --> 0:10:33.080 out three veterans who've done this for a long time, 0:10:33.400 --> 0:10:36.000 who the team has already invested in. And injury played 0:10:36.040 --> 0:10:38.319 a role in that. Kelvin was unavailable for a while. 0:10:38.400 --> 0:10:42.080 But lo and behold, that's exactly what happened. And yeah, 0:10:42.240 --> 0:10:43.640 I'm not going to go as far as to say 0:10:43.679 --> 0:10:47.199 I don't care, but the train keeps rolling, like once 0:10:47.240 --> 0:10:51.360 the season starts develop especially if I mean, if you're 0:10:51.480 --> 0:10:54.480 bad and you know you're building for the future, that matters. 0:10:54.520 --> 0:10:57.240 But trying to accomplish something here, I don't have time 0:10:57.280 --> 0:11:00.520 to worry, especially especially if it's outside of a first 0:11:00.559 --> 0:11:02.880 round pick. I mean, Tristan Hill didn't do anything his 0:11:03.000 --> 0:11:08.440 first year. Cheeto, Cheeto, Well, he got hurt. He got hurt. 0:11:08.840 --> 0:11:11.920 Cheeto and Jordan had limited roles as rookies. Injury was 0:11:11.960 --> 0:11:14.240 part of that too, but they it took them time 0:11:14.280 --> 0:11:19.160 to get on the field on a consistent basis. Um shoot. Obviously, 0:11:19.360 --> 0:11:23.360 Jalen and Randy are unique circumstances, but again, you're never guaranteed. 0:11:23.720 --> 0:11:26.000 The further back you go in the draft, your first 0:11:26.080 --> 0:11:28.400 round pick needs to be doing something. Everything else is 0:11:28.440 --> 0:11:30.880 dependent on the circumstances. And for that matter, I don't 0:11:30.880 --> 0:11:33.679 even know Jordan and maybe don't have to go anywhere 0:11:33.720 --> 0:11:36.360 next year. They're on affordable contracts. Abe he's got one 0:11:36.360 --> 0:11:38.440 more year left on his deal. Jordan will have two. 0:11:38.800 --> 0:11:43.240 So I have no problem with it whatsoever. And sorry, Nick, 0:11:43.280 --> 0:11:46.559 I want to ask why, why? Why do you think? Yeah, 0:11:46.600 --> 0:11:48.760 why does this? Bob? Here's the thing. What I'm what 0:11:48.840 --> 0:11:50.679 I'm concerned about it. I don't know that honestly, there 0:11:50.760 --> 0:11:52.559 is no real answer. You're right, once you get into 0:11:52.559 --> 0:11:54.240 the season, you play the best player, you don't worry 0:11:54.240 --> 0:11:57.000 about all that. But I do wonder if it affects 0:11:57.040 --> 0:11:59.559 their decision making once you get to the offseason, because 0:11:59.559 --> 0:12:01.160 in the A so they got to make a decision 0:12:01.160 --> 0:12:03.760 on those two guys, on on Jordan and on and 0:12:03.880 --> 0:12:05.880 on Brown, and they got to make a decision. And 0:12:05.920 --> 0:12:08.040 it's one of those things where it's like, I don't know, 0:12:08.080 --> 0:12:10.240 are these guys ready to step into that role? If 0:12:10.240 --> 0:12:12.520 we decide not to sign them, or why do you 0:12:12.600 --> 0:12:14.439 have to make a decision to make a decision? You 0:12:14.480 --> 0:12:16.400 don't I thought one, neither one of them is out 0:12:16.440 --> 0:12:20.160 of contract. No, they both have signed three They signed 0:12:20.200 --> 0:12:22.360 the same deal. Yeah, Ab signed it in twenty twenty 0:12:22.400 --> 0:12:24.319 and Jordan signed it in twenty twenty one. So how 0:12:24.320 --> 0:12:26.040 long they have left on their due? Ab will have 0:12:26.120 --> 0:12:27.960 one more year when this season is over and Jordan 0:12:28.040 --> 0:12:31.559 will have to Okay, So which now is there something 0:12:31.600 --> 0:12:33.880 to be said for you could try to cut costs 0:12:33.920 --> 0:12:36.080 and get rid of those contracts to help you sign 0:12:36.240 --> 0:12:38.800 the Randy's and the Schultzs and the Gallops. And maybe 0:12:38.840 --> 0:12:40.319 that's the way I'm thinking about it, is like you 0:12:40.400 --> 0:12:42.640 got a lot of decisions to make and you can't 0:12:42.679 --> 0:12:46.000 keep everybody. So is that they become capsually? But the 0:12:46.080 --> 0:12:48.800 questions you can't make that decision if the other guys 0:12:48.840 --> 0:12:50.600 aren't playing enough for you to know what you have 0:12:50.720 --> 0:12:54.640 with them, right, Yeah, I just I can't bring myself 0:12:54.640 --> 0:12:57.920 to care about this because and again, their their average 0:12:57.960 --> 0:12:59.920 salary comes out to like four and a half five 0:13:00.120 --> 0:13:01.680 million a year, which would be great if you could 0:13:01.679 --> 0:13:04.720 get cheaper, but it's also not a big enough number 0:13:04.720 --> 0:13:08.679 to keep you from accomplishing other things. So it's just 0:13:08.800 --> 0:13:10.560 not something I'm losing a lot of sleep about. I've 0:13:10.559 --> 0:13:13.439 said this before too, and not trying to write off 0:13:13.520 --> 0:13:17.600 Kelvin or Nishan, right, I'm actually I'm pleased with what 0:13:17.640 --> 0:13:20.480 they've both been able to do given the circumstances. Right, 0:13:20.600 --> 0:13:23.080 we knew he was super raw. He has a role 0:13:23.240 --> 0:13:25.640 which he hasn't been inactive this season, which is a 0:13:25.720 --> 0:13:28.840 win in my opinion. Kelvin, he's doing more and more. 0:13:28.840 --> 0:13:31.240 He's gotten to play defense in late game stages two 0:13:31.280 --> 0:13:34.439 weeks in a row. He's been pretty impressive on special teams, 0:13:34.440 --> 0:13:36.360 honestly for a guy that didn't do it in college. 0:13:36.400 --> 0:13:39.160 So I feel good about them. But again, you just 0:13:39.200 --> 0:13:42.520 talk about draft capital, and the reason this came up 0:13:42.600 --> 0:13:45.480 is because LSU has a cornerback coming out named Derek Stingley. 0:13:46.160 --> 0:13:48.040 I was like, if for some reason he falls to 0:13:48.080 --> 0:13:50.840 where the Cowboys pick, I would draft him. I don't care. 0:13:50.920 --> 0:13:53.000 You worry about that stuff later when you have a 0:13:53.080 --> 0:13:56.280 high for Trump. It's a curious circumstance. He hasn't. He 0:13:56.320 --> 0:14:00.319 hasn't played a complete season since twenty nineteen. Injuries and 0:14:01.120 --> 0:14:03.200 his tape wasn't all that good in twenty twenty. Nobody 0:14:03.240 --> 0:14:05.840 on LSU pas say twenty twenty for everybody was pretty well. 0:14:05.920 --> 0:14:07.839 But so these are just the types of things you 0:14:07.840 --> 0:14:09.680 think about where it's like, man, if if a guy 0:14:09.720 --> 0:14:12.280 like Derek Stingley's for some reason still hanging around, you 0:14:12.360 --> 0:14:14.360 pull the trigger on that. You pray that he's around. 0:14:14.400 --> 0:14:18.840 And so I my point is guard between between Kelvin 0:14:19.200 --> 0:14:23.520 and Right and the two veterans. They're not married to 0:14:23.560 --> 0:14:25.480 any of those guys really in my opinion. I mean, 0:14:25.520 --> 0:14:27.000 you don't want to give up on a top fifty 0:14:27.000 --> 0:14:28.920 pick after one year, and they're not going to. But 0:14:29.120 --> 0:14:31.920 I just this just isn't a situation that stresses me. 0:14:32.040 --> 0:14:34.160 I think there's so much that's gonna have to happen 0:14:34.240 --> 0:14:38.160 this offseason with management of this ros roster, because you 0:14:38.280 --> 0:14:41.240 got guys that you weren't even necessarily expecting to be 0:14:41.280 --> 0:14:44.640 as good as they've been, Like jay Ron, curse that 0:14:44.640 --> 0:14:47.440 that now. I saw Brian just tweeting a little earlier. 0:14:47.640 --> 0:14:49.680 He was saying like he made this comment, he just 0:14:49.760 --> 0:14:51.440 kind of said it off the cuff, like I don't 0:14:51.440 --> 0:14:54.000 know if the Cowboys can even afford him. I wasn't 0:14:54.000 --> 0:14:56.640 thinking like that, but I am now thinking, like, I 0:14:56.720 --> 0:14:58.280 wonder what it will cost, Like I wonder if there 0:14:58.320 --> 0:15:00.000 are teams out there. I wonder I wonder if they're 0:15:00.080 --> 0:15:02.000 teams out there that are willing to say, like, man, 0:15:02.000 --> 0:15:04.480 we'll give him a pretty decent deal. And if you're 0:15:04.520 --> 0:15:06.880 they're willing to do that, like by the Cowboys, willing 0:15:06.880 --> 0:15:09.120 to match that with everything all the other deals that 0:15:09.160 --> 0:15:11.800 they're having to pay. Just remember about curse and and 0:15:12.720 --> 0:15:14.640 there's a lot of people out there, a lot of 0:15:14.760 --> 0:15:18.560 a lot of coaches that are stubborn and arrogant that 0:15:18.600 --> 0:15:20.960 look and they think that their system is the way 0:15:20.960 --> 0:15:23.640 it is and this guy fits it and this guy doesn't, 0:15:24.000 --> 0:15:25.920 which I think is crap. And we've seen over the 0:15:25.960 --> 0:15:29.200 years that this stuff is crap. Tyron Tyron Matthew, I 0:15:29.200 --> 0:15:32.040 think is a perfect example of that. Just just go 0:15:32.320 --> 0:15:34.440 just go get a player, you know, go get a 0:15:34.480 --> 0:15:37.040 football player, and you figure it out, don't your Your 0:15:37.080 --> 0:15:40.040 system isn't that great. You know, I can see Belichick 0:15:40.240 --> 0:15:42.320 maybe can get away everything because the system has been 0:15:42.360 --> 0:15:45.040 proven to work. But you know, the Rod Marinelli's of 0:15:45.040 --> 0:15:47.600 the world, and that that stuff still gets me. But 0:15:47.680 --> 0:15:49.600 there's a lot of coaches that probably wouldn't think Jerron 0:15:49.680 --> 0:15:51.840 Curse fits what they're trying to do because he's a 0:15:51.960 --> 0:15:54.040 unique player and you got to play him in a 0:15:54.160 --> 0:15:55.920 in a you know, different spot and it's working. Dan 0:15:56.000 --> 0:15:58.400 Quinn saw him and said, oh yeah, yeah, I got 0:15:58.440 --> 0:16:00.600 a spot for him and it's working. I'm saying every 0:16:00.640 --> 0:16:03.680 other team would figure it out just the same. He's 0:16:03.720 --> 0:16:05.560 not just the safety. You don't just put back there 0:16:05.560 --> 0:16:08.160 as a safety. He's a safety linebacker. You got to 0:16:08.160 --> 0:16:09.960 have a good role for him. So I'm not saying 0:16:10.000 --> 0:16:12.320 everybody would just be jumping at him. Well. I will 0:16:12.360 --> 0:16:14.040 say this though, and dan Quinn, I think was the 0:16:14.080 --> 0:16:15.640 one that was talking about yesterday, was either him or 0:16:15.720 --> 0:16:18.120 McCarthy talking about how now you're seeing a lot of 0:16:18.160 --> 0:16:20.640 defenses at a one to play that big nickel. He 0:16:20.800 --> 0:16:23.280 feels that role really nicely and and there may not 0:16:23.360 --> 0:16:25.600 be a lot of guys out there in free agency 0:16:25.600 --> 0:16:27.520 who fill that role, and if more teams are one 0:16:27.640 --> 0:16:30.200 could do it. That makes him a very, very valuable commodity. 0:16:30.240 --> 0:16:32.200 We used to get a rundown and if I had 0:16:32.200 --> 0:16:33.880 gotten one today, I would have been able to do 0:16:33.920 --> 0:16:36.120 a lot of research on the salary cap. I didn't. 0:16:36.160 --> 0:16:38.120 I didn't know we were getting into twenty twenty two. 0:16:38.120 --> 0:16:40.360 Today we're not. But it was just something my thought. No. 0:16:40.440 --> 0:16:42.720 But I just the reason I say that is something 0:16:42.760 --> 0:16:44.600 I think we all need to keep in mind is 0:16:45.760 --> 0:16:48.560 things feel very normal right now, and they are and 0:16:49.200 --> 0:16:52.680 wonderfully so. And I love how it feels so good 0:16:52.680 --> 0:16:54.640 to be able to go out to restaurants and we 0:16:54.720 --> 0:16:57.320 go to these sporting events and COVID's still a thing, 0:16:57.360 --> 0:16:59.640 but we're not as worried about it as we used 0:16:59.640 --> 0:17:02.440 to be. But the league is still dealing with a 0:17:02.480 --> 0:17:05.840 cap crunch, like everybody is tied up under it. They're 0:17:05.880 --> 0:17:07.800 not going to make it all back this year. The 0:17:07.880 --> 0:17:10.120 TV money doesn't start to kick in for a few years. 0:17:10.240 --> 0:17:13.760 The reason I bring all this three the reason another 0:17:13.840 --> 0:17:16.960 year to do with it. So I don't like there's 0:17:17.000 --> 0:17:18.879 not going to be as much money to go around, 0:17:18.960 --> 0:17:21.239 and I think teams loss all team everybody, and I 0:17:21.280 --> 0:17:24.160 think everybody's going to still kind of have their belt tightened. 0:17:24.680 --> 0:17:27.600 And I'm not trying to say that the Cowboys can 0:17:27.600 --> 0:17:29.320 hang on to all their players, but I do think 0:17:29.359 --> 0:17:32.760 that's going to affect the market where you're maybe not 0:17:32.840 --> 0:17:36.399 going to see as ridiculous an amount of just cash 0:17:36.440 --> 0:17:38.760 splashing on the first two eight days of free agency. 0:17:38.880 --> 0:17:41.240 So I'm interested to see how all that plays out. 0:17:41.800 --> 0:17:43.920 And I've got to think it gives the Cowboys a 0:17:43.960 --> 0:17:46.320 favorable chance of being able to do what they want 0:17:46.320 --> 0:17:48.679 to do. And I also think, and this is just 0:17:48.760 --> 0:17:51.840 a theory of mine, I actually think their ability to 0:17:51.920 --> 0:17:54.639 keep Dan Quinn here another year will help them with 0:17:54.680 --> 0:17:56.639 that because I think sure for some of these players, 0:17:56.680 --> 0:17:58.760 they may look at it like, man, I was able 0:17:58.800 --> 0:18:00.960 to do things with this defense coordinator I haven't done 0:18:00.960 --> 0:18:03.880 in my whole career jay Ron Curse, and so being 0:18:03.920 --> 0:18:06.480 able to resign him to stay with that defensive coordinator 0:18:06.760 --> 0:18:09.080 may be valuable. Like they may be willing to say, hey, 0:18:09.119 --> 0:18:11.040 you know, I think I want to stay here, and 0:18:11.160 --> 0:18:12.959 even though I might getting offered, that's a little bit 0:18:13.000 --> 0:18:14.920 more over here as far as money is concerned. I 0:18:15.000 --> 0:18:17.120 think I will play better and I like the role 0:18:17.160 --> 0:18:19.000 I have here in Dallas better. I've been thinking about 0:18:19.000 --> 0:18:22.119 this too, and I actually, again going back to me 0:18:22.160 --> 0:18:24.239 being well rounded, this is the dumb stuff I do 0:18:24.280 --> 0:18:26.120 in my day to day life. I'm on the elliptical 0:18:26.200 --> 0:18:29.440 this morning listening to my NFL podcast sort of getting 0:18:29.480 --> 0:18:31.840 ready for the day, and then I'm just start quizzing 0:18:31.840 --> 0:18:34.600 myself on like what jobs might come open this year. 0:18:34.800 --> 0:18:37.160 I came up with like six to eight. It doesn't 0:18:37.200 --> 0:18:40.440 really matter what they are. But you think about Kellen 0:18:40.520 --> 0:18:44.880 Moore and dan Quinn. One of them is this super nova, 0:18:45.000 --> 0:18:48.840 hot name, rising star. He's gonna have his pick, like 0:18:48.920 --> 0:18:51.320
