I looked at them and I thought 0:03:14.480 --> 0:03:16.200 about taking them down. I was like, heck, no, no, 0:03:16.400 --> 0:03:19.040 not taking that down yet even considering it.

Like, once I'm done with Thanksgiving, 0:03:23.960 --> 0:03:26.919 then we'll talk about See. I'm such a Thanksgiving stand. 0:03:27.080 --> 0:03:30.960 I have this conversation every year with my fiance that she, 0:03:31.200 --> 0:03:34.280 I mean hers is November first, like Christmas music on 0:03:34.840 --> 0:03:39.320 the pillows are out like everything's just there and uh, yeah, 0:03:39.560 --> 0:03:42.840 no I'm not. I'm not really there. I like Thanksgiving. 0:03:42.960 --> 0:03:45.400 I'm okay with celebrating what you want to celebrate, because 0:03:45.640 --> 0:03:48.200 go out be happy, especially nowadays, do what you want 0:03:48.200 --> 0:03:52.680 to do. Be happy. However, Thanksgiving needs it's it's due diligence. 0:03:53.040 --> 0:03:55.040 That is one of the best holidays of the year. 0:03:55.560 --> 0:03:56.960 This is I'm going to hit you with the d 0:03:57.080 --> 0:04:00.320 Q quote that Dan Quinn be where your feet are. Okay, 0:04:00.440 --> 0:04:02.640 let's not look too far to head. Yeah, let's not 0:04:02.720 --> 0:04:05.160 look too far ahead. Let's enjoy the moment. And in 0:04:05.280 --> 0:04:07.720 the moment we're approaching Thanksgiving, this is a month of 0:04:07.800 --> 0:04:10.680 thanks Let's let's use that ass such and you know 0:04:10.720 --> 0:04:14.680 it's uh. The climax of it is when we get two, three, 0:04:14.960 --> 0:04:18.480 four plates of heavenly goodness in front of us, and 0:04:18.520 --> 0:04:22.479 then and then then and only then, as I'm in 0:04:22.640 --> 0:04:26.080 my food coma, will I begin considering are you cooking? 0:04:26.800 --> 0:04:28.480 I can get I can get in there. Yeah, I 0:04:28.520 --> 0:04:31.320 mean I know you can't. Are you going to It's 0:04:31.320 --> 0:04:37.160 a question you and your fiance I'm planning on doing 0:04:37.160 --> 0:04:39.680 the cook you're the cup. Yeah, last night I made 0:04:39.760 --> 0:04:41.880 and I was actually gonna show you this recipe. I 0:04:41.960 --> 0:04:46.160 made a protein pasta, protein pasta. It is fifty one 0:04:46.240 --> 0:04:50.000 grahams of protein per serving, only two hundred and ten calories. 0:04:50.680 --> 0:04:53.240 And it's uh, it was only like ten carps. The 0:04:53.279 --> 0:04:55.000 Man out of Kingdom black bean. What is it? No, 0:04:55.120 --> 0:04:57.160 it's I don't know what it is. I don't. It's 0:04:57.160 --> 0:04:59.680 just protein pasta. But it's it's almost like ham. It's 0:04:59.720 --> 0:05:03.080 home ain't Hamburger helper. But it's healthy. Okay, it's really good. 0:05:03.400 --> 0:05:05.160 I'll give it to you. It's got like it's got 0:05:05.200 --> 0:05:09.240 like enchilada sauce in it. We didna pizza nice. Yeah, 0:05:09.279 --> 0:05:11.200 it was really good. Now we have our patio space back, 0:05:11.279 --> 0:05:13.159 yeah it did. And baked pizza last night, and then 0:05:13.240 --> 0:05:15.560 we got we can't see those things given because not 0:05:15.560 --> 0:05:17.760 not today, but as we approach things him, we gotta 0:05:17.800 --> 0:05:21.280 have the you know, the perennial argument of Turkey versus Ham, 0:05:21.320 --> 0:05:24.400 and you know Turkey, I make two different variations doing 0:05:24.680 --> 0:05:27.279 in Turkey. We deep front that those are the conversations 0:05:27.320 --> 0:05:30.479 that need to be had eventually, Like we can't skip over. No, 0:05:30.960 --> 0:05:32.800 but we're pretty sure that I'm the only vegetarian that 0:05:32.839 --> 0:05:36.160 makes two different turkeys. Really, he deep fries it too. 0:05:36.240 --> 0:05:38.000 You see the guys on Smoke, You see the guys 0:05:38.040 --> 0:05:41.080 on TikTok that are like dropping things and it's like 0:05:41.120 --> 0:05:44.000 blowing up. That's Isaiah definitely. It's absolutely you were You 0:05:44.040 --> 0:05:46.920 were not until he got he was not doing it. 0:05:47.000 --> 0:05:51.480 Yeah yeah, oh wait, all right, let's stark cowboys here 0:05:51.520 --> 0:05:53.160 for a little bit. It's it's the bye week. We've 0:05:53.200 --> 0:05:54.680 got a little bit more time to kill, so we're 0:05:54.680 --> 0:05:57.840 gonna talk about with Thanksgiving and whatever. But Cowboys got 0:05:57.880 --> 0:06:00.960 the buy a week. Uh. We didn't get a chance, 0:06:01.000 --> 0:06:03.000 at least with this crew to talk about what happened 0:06:03.000 --> 0:06:04.960 at the trade deadline. And I want to get to 0:06:05.080 --> 0:06:07.440 it because we hit it with Brian, we hit it 0:06:07.440 --> 0:06:10.480 with Nate, and the trade deadline was disappointing for a 0:06:10.520 --> 0:06:12.720 lot of Cowboys nation. It really was, including I say, 0:06:12.880 --> 0:06:20.080 standback is popping his microphone and read anymore. Don't exactly, 0:06:21.000 --> 0:06:24.200 but yeah, I want to get you'all thoughts on the 0:06:24.240 --> 0:06:28.280 trade deadline? Was it as disappointing as it was made 0:06:28.279 --> 0:06:30.720 out to be from a lot of Cowboys fans or 0:06:31.880 --> 0:06:34.720 was it just the right deal didn't go through and 0:06:35.640 --> 0:06:38.960 thus no move happened. Isaiah, I am able to disappoint it. 0:06:39.120 --> 0:06:43.600 You're disappointed? Yes? Why is that? Because last year we 0:06:43.640 --> 0:06:47.160 had a perfect example of Dallas being in a really 0:06:47.200 --> 0:06:51.880 good position, a really good position going into the playoffs, 0:06:52.360 --> 0:06:55.000 and you're feeling good, You're feeling confident. Offenses at top 0:06:55.000 --> 0:06:57.520 of the league, defenses make it as the highest turnover 0:06:57.560 --> 0:07:00.479 margin in the league. I mean, things are going great, right, 0:07:00.880 --> 0:07:03.880 and then you just didn't have enough. You just knew 0:07:03.920 --> 0:07:05.920 that you needed something more. You felt good going into 0:07:05.960 --> 0:07:07.520 the playoffs, but then when you got to the playoffs, 0:07:07.520 --> 0:07:10.320 you're like, oh crap, we need more people. Right, So 0:07:10.960 --> 0:07:13.320 now all of a sudden, guess what, these are going good? 0:07:13.720 --> 0:07:16.040 You've overcome the greatest form of adversity that you could 0:07:16.120 --> 0:07:18.040 imagined that you would face. This year, You're in a 0:07:18.080 --> 0:07:20.360 good position, right, record is good, and you're looking at 0:07:20.400 --> 0:07:21.840 the rest of your schedule. You're like, oh, yeah, we 0:07:21.880 --> 0:07:25.880 feel good about this. Why not ensure that you have 0:07:26.040 --> 0:07:28.920 more people when you have last year to remember that 0:07:28.960 --> 0:07:31.960 you didn't have enough people. You had a chance to 0:07:32.000 --> 0:07:34.360 pull the trigger on some people. I would imagine I'm 0:07:34.360 --> 0:07:36.679 not gonna not gonna gas and speculating all that jazz. 0:07:36.680 --> 0:07:39.440 But there are guys, Okay, teams that are planning on 0:07:39.520 --> 0:07:44.800 being competitive in the playoffs made moves to strategically positioning 0:07:44.840 --> 0:07:47.480 themselves to have more people and have more weapons and 0:07:47.560 --> 0:07:50.920 have more goons when the time comes that matters most, 0:07:51.480 --> 0:07:54.640 when you need to win three, three, four games, that's 0:07:54.680 --> 0:07:56.840 when that's when you have those guys there. Yeah, and 0:07:56.960 --> 0:07:59.000 Dallas didn't do it. That's not to say that they 0:07:59.000 --> 0:08:01.200 didn't try. I don't know. I'm not in those meetings. 0:08:01.240 --> 0:08:04.000 They tried. I'm sure they tried. I'm sure they tried. 0:08:04.080 --> 0:08:06.560 So did the Green Bay Packers. They tried to, but 0:08:06.600 --> 0:08:09.080 it didn't happen. Okay, So at the end of the day, 0:08:09.160 --> 0:08:11.360 you're stuck with the same guys, and that's okay. Now 0:08:11.480 --> 0:08:13.800 let's have some guys. I would have liked for them 0:08:13.840 --> 0:08:17.480 to be aggressive, step outside of themselves, outside of what 0:08:17.480 --> 0:08:20.240 the organization typically does. And when they say, oh, you know, 0:08:20.240 --> 0:08:22.000 we gotta make sure we protect our future. Hey, we 0:08:22.040 --> 0:08:24.480 gotta make sure we keep our draft picks. Oh we gotta, 0:08:24.560 --> 0:08:26.000 you know, we gotta go. We got the guys, you do, 0:08:26.160 --> 0:08:29.160 got the guys, but get another guy. They go out 0:08:29.160 --> 0:08:32.960 there and just dominate. Okay, I'll say this, and I'll 0:08:33.480 --> 0:08:35.719 I'll try to do it without hogging the mic, so 0:08:35.760 --> 0:08:42.040 to speak. I like the attempt becut attempts plural, attempts 0:08:42.120 --> 0:08:46.959 plural because not all attempts are created equal. So if 0:08:46.960 --> 0:08:48.880 it was simply then putting out a feeler to the 0:08:48.920 --> 0:08:51.600 Houston Texans, for example, if it was just a feeler, 0:08:52.000 --> 0:08:54.760 that's disappointing. But it wasn't a feeler. It was a 0:08:54.800 --> 0:08:59.040 full blown conversation that had legs and had traction. And 0:08:59.480 --> 0:09:02.439 I kind of said this on media match after the fact, 0:09:02.640 --> 0:09:04.720 I said, I wonder and it turns out that I 0:09:04.800 --> 0:09:07.840 was right. I wonder if and we can't sell the 0:09:07.840 --> 0:09:10.640 player's name, but in conversations with the Houston Texans for 0:09:10.720 --> 0:09:15.120 player X, if those conversations kind of went left after 0:09:15.600 --> 0:09:19.120 Player WHY from Pittsburgh was traded and that that price 0:09:19.280 --> 0:09:23.080 was set, And as it turns out, reportedly Houston wanted 0:09:23.440 --> 0:09:26.880 a second and a fourth for player X and they 0:09:26.920 --> 0:09:30.280 refused to eat a single penny of a fully guaranteed 0:09:30.320 --> 0:09:34.640 eighteen million dollars salary that's coming due. No right, So 0:09:34.720 --> 0:09:38.600 no reports have come out that the organization took a 0:09:38.640 --> 0:09:43.120 swing towards Denver for Jerry Judy, that conversation had a 0:09:43.120 --> 0:09:46.080 little bit of attraction, but the price couldn't be agreed upon. 0:09:46.440 --> 0:09:49.240 So I don't think that this was well, I'm pretty 0:09:49.280 --> 0:09:51.880 confident this wasn't a situation where the Cowboys were just 0:09:51.960 --> 0:09:56.000 kind of putting out feelers to give the illusion that hey, 0:09:56.000 --> 0:09:59.360 we're trying. They actually were, and these the prices that 0:09:59.360 --> 0:10:02.520 were being set and paid. I'm out on that. I'm 0:10:02.520 --> 0:10:05.360 out only especially when I wouldn't he and hear your segue, 0:10:05.640 --> 0:10:11.280 especially when you have free agents out there that so 0:10:11.559 --> 0:10:14.640 maybe if said free agent wasn't available, we'll get to 0:10:14.760 --> 0:10:17.760 him in a few seconds, then maybe you're a little 0:10:17.760 --> 0:10:21.840 bit more willing to just break that bank. But that notwithstanding, 0:10:21.920 --> 0:10:24.200 I'm not paying those prices, so I'm just not. It 0:10:24.280 --> 0:10:27.000 almost irritates me that they were willing to have the 0:10:27.040 --> 0:10:30.080 conversations with those teams about those particular about that one. 0:10:30.320 --> 0:10:34.360 Let's go over the Texas. Okay, the Texas. I was 0:10:34.400 --> 0:10:37.679 actually disgusted that they were having those conversations. Okay, I'm 0:10:37.679 --> 0:10:39.160 the guy sitting here saying that I wish they would 0:10:39.160 --> 0:10:42.440 have put a trigger on somebody, whether offensively, defense whatever. 0:10:42.480 --> 0:10:44.440 I'm the guy sitting here saying that. But if they 0:10:44.480 --> 0:10:47.920 would have got that guy would have been hot because 0:10:48.200 --> 0:10:50.880 you just let a guy go last year. Yeah, so 0:10:50.920 --> 0:10:53.480 I would have been what you think we can agree 0:10:53.520 --> 0:10:57.480 that that guy shit. So don't don't talk about don't 0:10:57.480 --> 0:11:00.679 go talking to them about their guys amount of our 0:11:00.720 --> 0:11:02.600 guy that we had. You know what I'm saying. When 0:11:02.640 --> 0:11:04.640 you had a guy who was in the building, who 0:11:04.679 --> 0:11:08.679 was doing his job, being quiet, being a leader, being effective, 0:11:08.960 --> 0:11:11.200 under utilize, and you let him go and you're gonna 0:11:11.200 --> 0:11:12.920 go talk to somebody who's making the same amount, don't 0:11:12.960 --> 0:11:14.959 do that. Don't do which is why the only way 0:11:14.960 --> 0:11:16.640 it would have were in one hundred we were the 0:11:17.040 --> 0:11:19.000 same page, which is why, and I said this on Twitter, 0:11:19.120 --> 0:11:21.280 the only way it would have worked for me, first 0:11:21.320 --> 0:11:24.120 of all, second and fourth if that holds true, that's 0:11:24.160 --> 0:11:28.920 why pick a middle finger. Yeah. Um. But but on 0:11:29.080 --> 0:11:32.559 top of that, um to not eat any of that 0:11:32.720 --> 0:11:37.079 eighteen million. No, just just absolutely not, because, like as 0:11:37.080 --> 0:11:38.880 they are saying, I mean, if you if you're willing 0:11:38.920 --> 0:11:41.439 to bring on a fully guaranteed eighteen then the question 0:11:41.480 --> 0:11:48.240 immediately becomes why why Michael Jackson style eighteen. Yeah, eighteen, 0:11:48.400 --> 0:11:52.040 and it would be it would be one of those 0:11:52.120 --> 0:11:57.200 moves where every ounce of Cowboys Nation would have said 0:11:57.240 --> 0:12:00.959 you were wrong. Therapy from from you would just admitted 0:12:01.040 --> 0:12:03.680 that you were wrong. So from the get cold. Now, 0:12:03.720 --> 0:12:06.680 if the price was different, then that's a completely different conversation. 0:12:06.760 --> 0:12:09.720 But for that price, no, I agree. Also, now, hindsight 0:12:09.760 --> 0:12:12.160 twenty twenty, when Brandon Cook excuse me, sorry, a player 0:12:12.400 --> 0:12:17.559 X couldn't get traded. Then you turn around and all 0:12:17.600 --> 0:12:21.280 of a sudden he's not playing the next day. I 0:12:21.360 --> 0:12:24.520 mean that that's a problem. That means he's not in 0:12:24.600 --> 0:12:27.960 the right headspace to be playing. Well, he's pile sure, 0:12:28.040 --> 0:12:31.040 he's pissed because he thought he could go to a contender. Yeah, yeah, 0:12:31.440 --> 0:12:34.120 you spent six months ago, you just signed big deal, 0:12:34.240 --> 0:12:38.199 big boy Country. So quiet, right, you just s and 0:12:38.280 --> 0:12:41.520 the Cowboys weren't the only team calling about so, I mean, 0:12:41.679 --> 0:12:43.840 the Houston Texas were in a situation where they had 0:12:43.880 --> 0:12:48.559 an out, in a situation that's devolving rapidly, just unraveling 0:12:48.800 --> 0:12:50.520 in front of them, and they could have gotten something 0:12:50.600 --> 0:12:52.880 for it. But you know, it's like my grandma used 0:12:52.880 --> 0:12:56.480 to Grandma used to say you're smelling yourself. You're smelling yourself. 0:12:56.760 --> 0:13:00.480 You should have been more reasonable. Like I've told you 0:13:00.559 --> 0:13:03.160 guys before, that front office. I know that front office 0:13:03.160 --> 0:13:05.640 because the individual that runs that front Texas was my 0:13:05.880 --> 0:13:10.719 receiver's coach slash GM in New England. So any negotiating 0:13:10.760 --> 0:13:13.520 with him is going to be very, very difficult. So 0:13:13.640 --> 0:13:15.480 he might have found himself in a in a little 0:13:15.480 --> 0:13:17.240 bit of it. Would be interested to see how it 0:13:17.320 --> 0:13:19.160 all plays out, because this is not a pretty situation. 0:13:19.280 --> 0:13:21.560 And now you know, we'll see if they end up 0:13:21.800 --> 0:13:24.800 partying ways with player X and not getting anything out 0:13:24.840 --> 0:13:27.280 to deal. So yeah, how about that? That'd bit crazy. 0:13:27.559 --> 0:13:30.440 But there are other options on the table. There are, 0:13:30.679 --> 0:13:33.559 so we've talked about it on this show before and 0:13:34.000 --> 0:13:38.679 I don't think the answer was resounding yes to go 0:13:38.840 --> 0:13:41.000 and get this guy. But it has been reported by 0:13:41.160 --> 0:13:45.040 multiple sources at the moment that Odell Beckham Junior is 0:13:45.280 --> 0:13:49.920 firmly on the Cowboys radar. That is the report you've heard, murmurs, 0:13:50.040 --> 0:13:52.319 We've we've seen the list, we've seen the guys you 0:13:52.480 --> 0:13:55.120 strike out on the trade deadline on finding a receiver 0:13:55.240 --> 0:13:57.439 that could add to this receiving corps with Ceedee Lamb, 0:13:57.520 --> 0:14:01.400 Michael Gallup, potentially James Washington coming back into the fold soon, 0:14:01.520 --> 0:14:04.520 Jaalen Tolbert and so on and so forth. You forgot 0:14:04.600 --> 0:14:08.000 his wide receiver one. Oh no, no oh, Noah Brown. 0:14:08.080 --> 0:14:14.040 That's fair disrespect Yeah, sorry, very disrespectful. What does the 0:14:14.360 --> 0:14:21.360 trade deadline change your mind? Yes? No about Odeha No yes? Um? Wait, 0:14:22.440 --> 0:14:25.600 so does my statements from last week okay, prior to 0:14:25.840 --> 0:14:29.040 you guys firing me for two days to another podcast 0:14:29.520 --> 0:14:37.080 kick you off. I think that he is an exceptional player. 0:14:37.920 --> 0:14:41.880 I think he is a generational player. I think he's 0:14:41.920 --> 0:14:47.800 overcome a lot in his career, no doubt, physically, mentally, emotionally. Um. 0:14:49.160 --> 0:14:50.760 I think that he's going to make an impact for 0:14:50.800 --> 0:14:55.640 whatever team he goes to, if if he's healthy. My 0:14:55.800 --> 0:15:01.080 concerns with that particular individual are the leadership quidies, and 0:15:01.200 --> 0:15:03.440 as we talk about a room that lost a leader 0:15:04.640 --> 0:15:08.000 and seemingly still doesn't have one from what we can see, 0:15:10.560 --> 0:15:16.240 I have hesitation in acquiring somebody who has had issues 0:15:16.880 --> 0:15:20.480 in that regard. So if you have, if you have 0:15:20.640 --> 0:15:25.720 a little grease fire going on in your in your pan, okay, 0:15:25.840 --> 0:15:28.240 and that we call the receiver room just a little 0:15:28.280 --> 0:15:30.680 what's a little grease fire? But this is manageable. Okay, 0:15:30.800 --> 0:15:33.880 don't pour water on it. Don't pour water on it 0:15:34.120 --> 0:15:36.320 because you think that pouring water on it is gonna 0:15:36.520 --> 0:15:39.360 is gonna put out your fire. You learn the horrid 0:15:39.360 --> 0:15:42.400 way that pouring water on a grease fire, Kyle sparks 0:15:42.480 --> 0:15:46.720 that thing up. So why do that? So your left 0:15:46.800 --> 0:15:48.720 in a scenario where it's like, crap, we didn't pull 0:15:48.760 --> 0:15:52.400 the trigger on any and now he who has the leverage, 0:15:52.440 --> 0:15:55.240 Now we couldn't find the fire extinguish. He has the leverage. 0:15:55.280 --> 0:15:58.200 We couldn't find a fire signature right before it got crazy. Right, 0:15:58.240 --> 0:16:00.560 we don't have no flour all we got. Now it's 0:16:00.600 --> 0:16:03.000 freaking water and we got a grease fire. What are 0:16:03.000 --> 0:16:05.560 you gonna do with it? No, see better road, some 0:16:05.640 --> 0:16:08.920 dirt on that thing, Find some dirt, throw it outside 0:16:09.720 --> 0:16:13.200 of the Let's just let's put it plainly. Let's state 0:16:13.240 --> 0:16:16.200 it plainly when it comes to obj Um, this is 0:16:16.240 --> 0:16:19.000 not a knock on him as a human being. He's 0:16:19.000 --> 0:16:21.840 a good he's a good dude. Really is a good dude. Um. 0:16:22.080 --> 0:16:24.320 This is most certainly not a knock on his skill set. 0:16:24.960 --> 0:16:29.800 Skill set is phenomenal phenomenal, um. But it goes to fit, 0:16:30.360 --> 0:16:32.600 it's to fit there. We talked about it before the 0:16:32.640 --> 0:16:36.160 trade deadline. Is this being a possible scenario? Um? And 0:16:36.560 --> 0:16:41.160 for me, if he's not getting his targets, I wonder 0:16:41.480 --> 0:16:45.680 if the dark side of OBJ shows up that the 0:16:45.760 --> 0:16:47.840 guy who wants the ball throw me the ball. And 0:16:47.920 --> 0:16:50.480 you're not coming into a situation where you're w R one, 0:16:50.520 --> 0:16:52.680 You're not coming into a situation where you're w R two. 0:16:52.720 --> 0:16:54.600 You are coming into a situation where you're fighting with 0:16:54.720 --> 0:16:59.400 Noah Brown. Facts for the love of Dak Prescott and 0:16:59.560 --> 0:17:01.880 Noah had the inside track having been here for so 0:17:02.040 --> 0:17:04.119 many years. Now, I'm not saying he can't beat out 0:17:04.200 --> 0:17:06.560 Noah Brown. I think arguably he has a much better 0:17:06.640 --> 0:17:09.080 skill set. But then you also have to throw into 0:17:09.119 --> 0:17:12.240 the mix. Not only that, because if you're fighting for 0:17:12.280 --> 0:17:15.120 a wide receiver three slash four reps, that means you're 0:17:15.160 --> 0:17:17.080 not on the field for one hundred percent of the 0:17:17.160 --> 0:17:19.080 reps as you would see a CD Lamb or Michael 0:17:19.119 --> 0:17:22.800 Gallop or near it. But also hashtag keep that energy 0:17:23.520 --> 0:17:25.639 for those that are wondering how long it would take 0:17:25.680 --> 0:17:27.760 Michael Gallop to get back to top form after tearing 0:17:27.800 --> 0:17:29.879 his ACO or Michael Gallop is in his twenties with 0:17:30.000 --> 0:17:32.040 one ACO tear. This is a thirty year old with 0:17:32.080 --> 0:17:34.200 two ACO tears, and he will be coming in on 0:17:34.280 --> 0:17:36.760 the back half of the season. So you might not 0:17:36.960 --> 0:17:40.120 even see him reach top form until closer to the playoffs, 0:17:40.160 --> 0:17:42.720 which matters most. That's that's great, but that might not 0:17:42.800 --> 0:17:46.760 even time up correctly because he's not getting it. You know, Isaiah, 0:17:46.920 --> 0:17:49.280 the more you need more game reps, more game reps. 0:17:49.359 --> 0:17:52.040 But if he's fighting for three or four, then the 0:17:52.160 --> 0:17:55.040 game reps dwindle a bit. It's just too many concerns. It. 0:17:55.040 --> 0:17:58.200 Could he make an impact if they bought man figured out? Yeah, 0:17:58.240 --> 0:18:00.920 So that's the argument, right, So the argument is will 0:18:01.040 --> 0:18:06.400 he be impactful Absolutely if the Dallas Cowboys went that rout. Absolutely, 0:18:06.520 --> 0:18:09.080 if he's healthy and if he's in the mindset, in 0:18:09.320 --> 0:18:11.399 the right mind frame. Right, nobody knows, right, I'm not 0:18:11.440 --> 0:18:13.600 in I'm not his at his house. I don't know 0:18:13.640 --> 0:18:16.359 what his mindset is. Maybe he's a lot more willing 0:18:16.400 --> 0:18:19.359 now understanding the situation. Jason Peter's train exactly right, So 0:18:19.440 --> 0:18:21.400 we don't know. We're going to go off a history. Okay, 0:18:21.480 --> 0:18:23.840 so he very well might have the right mindset, and 0:18:24.200 --> 0:18:26.200 he very well might be healthy enough at that point 0:18:26.240 --> 0:18:28.800 in time. If those are things come together, then you're 0:18:29.040 --> 0:18:32.399 adding a valuable asset, valuable weapon at the time, and 0:18:32.600 --> 0:18:34.560 he'd be hitting the ground running by the time that 0:18:34.680 --> 0:18:36.280 you need him to be hitting the ground running. Right, 0:18:36.320 --> 0:18:38.320 That's why you would acquire somebody like that for the 0:18:38.359 --> 0:18:41.560 playoff frame. Right, Okay, your regular season is going just fine. Okay, 0:18:41.640 --> 0:18:44.840 So all those things add up to be positives. It's 0:18:44.880 --> 0:18:47.600 just the question mark on the what if. And I 0:18:47.640 --> 0:18:50.680 don't think it's a negative on I don't ob j. 0:18:51.000 --> 0:18:54.000 I think it's passionate. I've been around some very passionate receivers. 0:18:54.040 --> 0:18:56.960 I played with Randy Moss and I played with Terrell Owens. 0:18:57.200 --> 0:19:00.480 Those guys are very passionate receivers of it just a 0:19:00.520 --> 0:19:03.960 little bit, Okay, they don't they perceive that as problem 0:19:04.080 --> 0:19:06.440 guys because they're so passionate about their craft. They want 0:19:06.440 --> 0:19:08.040 to be impactful. They don't want to just be a 0:19:08.080 --> 0:19:10.280 guy on the field. I think that's the same category 0:19:10.359 --> 0:19:12.280 OBJ is in. Not at the Hall of Fame. I'm 0:19:12.320 --> 0:19:14.439 not saying that. I'm saying in terms of passion ships 0:19:14.480 --> 0:19:16.359 for the game I'm saying, he wants to have an 0:19:16.400 --> 0:19:18.480 impact on the game. He doesn't want to just be 0:19:18.920 --> 0:19:21.360 freaking present, right. He wants to actually get the ball. 0:19:21.400 --> 0:19:22.800 He wants to do something with the ball. He wants 0:19:22.840 --> 0:19:25.000 to have a positive impact on the outcome of the game. 0:19:25.240 --> 0:19:26.920 And that's the type of player you're talking about. He's 0:19:26.920 --> 0:19:29.040 not okay just collecting the check. He's not okay just 0:19:29.160 --> 0:19:31.359 being a decoy. He's not okay just lining up however 0:19:31.440 --> 0:19:33.800 many reps a game and not having a true impact 0:19:34.040 --> 0:19:36.800 getting two three catches. So that's the individual you're bringing 0:19:36.840 --> 0:19:38.760 in and you have to understand, and I'm sure they do, 0:19:39.400 --> 0:19:41.679 what type of personality that is that you're bringing him 0:19:41.800 --> 0:19:45.399 into a room that doesn't have clear direction right now, 0:19:45.480 --> 0:19:47.400 because the guy that you're asking to be number one, 0:19:48.040 --> 0:19:50.040 I think they're starting to realize we put too much 0:19:50.080 --> 0:19:53.560 weight on him. I think that's a good thing. What 0:19:53.720 --> 0:19:58.000 you're telling me about OBJ and his passion and wants. 0:19:58.200 --> 0:20:00.520 That's what I feel like he's missing in this wide 0:20:00.520 --> 0:20:03.680 receiver room. I'm not necessarily saying, yeah, you need some 0:20:03.840 --> 0:20:06.320 of that and the personality. I feel like it's the 0:20:06.400 --> 0:20:09.840 wrong word, but that fire. I mean, we kept them 0:20:09.880 --> 0:20:12.120 as the grease pan the fire right there. That's that's 0:20:12.160 --> 0:20:14.320 going on. I think he could be that fire. He 0:20:14.400 --> 0:20:17.119 could add to that. I don't know if it's immediately 0:20:17.200 --> 0:20:21.040 a move that the Cowboys would make and then automatically 0:20:21.080 --> 0:20:23.320 they're better that I don't think that should be the 0:20:23.400 --> 0:20:25.320 expectation if they were to make a move like this. 0:20:26.200 --> 0:20:29.119 But would they be a better wide receiving corps at 0:20:29.160 --> 0:20:32.040 the top the bottom The answer that it would be yes. 0:20:32.240 --> 0:20:34.920 And here's how you get me to buy in fully 0:20:35.000 --> 0:20:37.159 on this. And we won't know. We would not know 0:20:37.680 --> 0:20:43.840 until unless it actually happens. If if OBJ is more 0:20:43.960 --> 0:20:47.200 in the Jason Peters fold, obviously different positions, So Jason Peters, 0:20:47.400 --> 0:20:49.560 you can't rotate guys in on the offensive line like that. 0:20:49.640 --> 0:20:52.000 We talked about that set your offensive line wide receiver 0:20:52.119 --> 0:20:55.040 corp is much different, right, That's that's a free for all. Right, 0:20:55.119 --> 0:20:57.879 you go in there, you produce, you get your rips. Meritocracy, 0:20:57.920 --> 0:21:01.320 it's one of the true meritocracy. Autocracy is a position 0:21:01.520 --> 0:21:05.720 in football. So if OBJ can come in and he says, 0:21:05.800 --> 0:21:08.440 you know what, I know him thirty I know him 0:21:08.440 --> 0:21:11.600 coming off of a second toWin ACL. I know that 0:21:11.760 --> 0:21:14.000
