That is if you're you're going to 175 00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:29,080 Speaker 3: have to go. 176 00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:31,560 Speaker 10: There are teams that have him and I've talked to 177 00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:33,760 Speaker 10: that have him as the best tackle in the draft. 178 00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:34,520 Speaker 6: Uh. 179 00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:36,520 Speaker 2: You know, he would be top ten. 180 00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:38,760 Speaker 10: And that you know, I thought the landing spot for 181 00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:41,280 Speaker 10: him would be at the at the lowest would be 182 00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:43,600 Speaker 10: the Jets at ten. You know, they went and got 183 00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:46,760 Speaker 10: Tyron Smith. We've talked about Tyron Smith going there. Uh, 184 00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:50,320 Speaker 10: but Fuaga is a tremendous player. Could play guard, could 185 00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:53,120 Speaker 10: play tackle, He's athletic, he's powerful. 186 00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:54,120 Speaker 4: Uh. 187 00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:55,960 Speaker 10: You know that those are the kinds of things I mean, 188 00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:57,960 Speaker 10: that's that. That was one of those that I'm like 189 00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:00,640 Speaker 10: thinking there's something up there because I just don't think 190 00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:03,720 Speaker 10: you're gonna get him at twenty four. Powers Johnson, the 191 00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:07,840 Speaker 10: center from Oregon, is dealing with some medical things. They 192 00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:11,120 Speaker 10: checked him out at the Combine. You're starting to see 193 00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:13,480 Speaker 10: him some mock drafts of some of the prominent mock 194 00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:16,160 Speaker 10: drafters are keeping him out of the first round. So 195 00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:20,520 Speaker 10: what's happening is the scout media scouts are starting to 196 00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:23,080 Speaker 10: catch up with what went on at the Combine with 197 00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:24,280 Speaker 10: some of the medical stuff. 198 00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:26,160 Speaker 4: Here do you know what kind of medical. 199 00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:29,200 Speaker 3: It's some things that need to be checked. 200 00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:32,360 Speaker 10: I have an idea. I want to get some things 201 00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:34,959 Speaker 10: confirmed what he has. I don't want to sit here 202 00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:38,400 Speaker 10: and then say, well, he's got this and it's actually not, 203 00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:41,560 Speaker 10: because yeah, there's a couple of things though. That again, 204 00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:44,760 Speaker 10: talking to my gang of seven around the league, talking 205 00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:48,200 Speaker 10: to people, some trainers around the league. There's some things 206 00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:50,440 Speaker 10: that have to be checked there. So hopefully we'll get 207 00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:54,360 Speaker 10: that done before the night of the draft. Barton is 208 00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:56,480 Speaker 10: another one that's dealing with now. I know for a 209 00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:59,560 Speaker 10: fact he's doing with some shoulder stuff because at the 210 00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:04,000 Speaker 10: combine excuse me, at his pro day at Duke, he 211 00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:07,680 Speaker 10: had he couldn't do any of the pushing drills anything, 212 00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:11,480 Speaker 10: you know, with extension. Uh, he didn't bench press. So 213 00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:14,760 Speaker 10: he's dealing with a shoulder that he's having fixed. Brooks, 214 00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:18,000 Speaker 10: we know from Texas, is dealing with the knee. Tremendous 215 00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:22,000 Speaker 10: player him, Benson, Allen Irving. All these backs, they're hunting 216 00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:24,719 Speaker 10: backs right now. As you can see, they're also, as 217 00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:26,680 Speaker 10: Patrick told you, they're hunting linebackers. 218 00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:26,880 Speaker 3: Here. 219 00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:29,160 Speaker 10: Let me let me give you a name that I 220 00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:31,840 Speaker 10: really really really like out of this whole thing when 221 00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:37,880 Speaker 10: you when you start to talk about linebackers, especially inside linebackers. Uh, 222 00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:40,920 Speaker 10: you know Cooper's outstanding from from Texas A and M. 223 00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:45,120 Speaker 10: But this Travian Wallace from Kentucky is a bad man 224 00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:50,600 Speaker 10: at six and thirty seven pounds. Uh, you don't have 225 00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:52,520 Speaker 10: to take And I'm sorry, I'm not turning this into 226 00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:55,880 Speaker 10: the draft show. I'm just telling you they're bringing in 227 00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:58,800 Speaker 10: dudes that can play football, and that's the whole idea. 228 00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:01,720 Speaker 10: You know, Hey, maybe you haven't heard a lot about 229 00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:04,720 Speaker 10: Wallace at Kentucky. If you have the opportunity, take a 230 00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:07,320 Speaker 10: peek at him and you'll you'll you'll know exactly what 231 00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:10,720 Speaker 10: I'm talking about. It doesn't take long to fire find 232 00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:12,600 Speaker 10: him on tape. You don't have to ask what number 233 00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:14,679 Speaker 10: he is. You see him right there. But that's him, 234 00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:17,800 Speaker 10: that's him. That's him again. So he can finish when 235 00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:20,800 Speaker 10: he gets in position. He doesn't get fooled by running plays. 236 00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:24,439 Speaker 10: He's physical at the point of attack. He's a team captain, 237 00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:27,720 Speaker 10: emotional leader, there's so many things. He's twenty one years 238 00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:32,720 Speaker 10: old too, and he plays like you hope he's on 239 00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:33,320 Speaker 10: your team is. 240 00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:34,520 Speaker 2: He's a one starter type guy. 241 00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:34,640 Speaker 3: Oh. 242 00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:37,240 Speaker 10: Absolutely, he's a plug and play guy. This is this 243 00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:39,520 Speaker 10: guy mean because he's got such a feel for how 244 00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:42,120 Speaker 10: to play, whether you put him in coverage or you know, 245 00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:44,800 Speaker 10: like he understands like sometimes the linebackers they drop and 246 00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:48,200 Speaker 10: they kind of just float around. He's a drop I 247 00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:50,120 Speaker 10: see what you're trying to do behind me and get 248 00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:53,280 Speaker 10: over guy. You know that a lot of yeah, you know, 249 00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:57,199 Speaker 10: and Mike Simmerpool. When I know about Mike, Mike wants guys. 250 00:10:57,559 --> 00:11:01,439 Speaker 10: If Mike, Mike will tell you this, if he if 251 00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:04,160 Speaker 10: it's a smaller guy, you want to be able to 252 00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:08,440 Speaker 10: have that elite awareness like what that win had. That's 253 00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:10,040 Speaker 10: you know, if you're going to be a shorter guy, 254 00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:14,520 Speaker 10: be elite with your ability to your instincts and things 255 00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:17,560 Speaker 10: like that. If you're a bigger guy, if you have instincts, 256 00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:20,319 Speaker 10: you have size, you have ability to play at the 257 00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:22,320 Speaker 10: point of attack. You can help me in coverage, you 258 00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:27,360 Speaker 10: can occasionally blitch you that. That's this makes perfect sense 259 00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:30,800 Speaker 10: for a Mike zimmer type of linebacker that we're dealing with. 260 00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:33,600 Speaker 2: See a first round or second round guy, Like I. 261 00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:35,960 Speaker 10: Think he's more to me. I feel like that when 262 00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:38,000 Speaker 10: I had him on my board was in the second round. 263 00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:43,600 Speaker 10: But the thing about him is though him and Wilson, 264 00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:46,840 Speaker 10: Peyton Wilson from North Carolina State, maybe another name that 265 00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:49,760 Speaker 10: I don't think you said, Peyton Wilson from UH from 266 00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:52,360 Speaker 10: North Carolina State. If you didn't, don't, I might be 267 00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:54,800 Speaker 10: a name that you hear about here in the next 268 00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:55,280 Speaker 10: few days. 269 00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:58,360 Speaker 3: I don't. I don't know. But the thing about the 270 00:11:58,400 --> 00:11:59,840 Speaker 3: thing about these guys. 271 00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:02,800 Speaker 4: They're very Yes, yes, he's confirmed. 272 00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:07,400 Speaker 10: Okay, Peyton Wilson, Wallace. Keep an eye on these cats, 273 00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:12,960 Speaker 10: both of them. Instincts downhill players, tough, make every single tackle, 274 00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:19,640 Speaker 10: play well in coverage. Healthy, not as healthy as Wallace, Okay, 275 00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:23,360 Speaker 10: dealing with some stuff there, and that's maybe what keeps 276 00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:25,920 Speaker 10: him out of the first round. But that might give 277 00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:30,360 Speaker 10: you the opportunity to to me, Wilson could be a 278 00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:32,800 Speaker 10: trade back guy, you know, if you drop back, if 279 00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:34,640 Speaker 10: you know, say say for example, we get in this 280 00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:38,520 Speaker 10: draft and all of a sudden, you know, Baltimore. 281 00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:40,960 Speaker 3: Calls you, you know, are Buffalo. 282 00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:42,400 Speaker 10: Calls you at twenty eight, and you could pick up 283 00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:46,280 Speaker 10: their their third they're into the round. Third, Baltimore calls 284 00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:47,839 Speaker 10: you at thirty, you could pick up the end of 285 00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:51,080 Speaker 10: the round third for them, you don't have a fourth. 286 00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:53,920 Speaker 3: Those are trade back options right there. 287 00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:56,320 Speaker 10: The way the Cowboys have got this thing set up, 288 00:12:56,760 --> 00:12:59,839 Speaker 10: Like I say, Fuaga is a go up. Some of 289 00:12:59,880 --> 00:13:02,240 Speaker 10: the these other guys might be. Okay, we're in kind of 290 00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:05,280 Speaker 10: no man's land right now. We're between our second round 291 00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:07,960 Speaker 10: pick and our first round pick if we go back 292 00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:10,280 Speaker 10: a certain level. We got to get this guy because 293 00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:13,280 Speaker 10: we can't get him back at fifty six. So the 294 00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:18,600 Speaker 10: list that they're bringing in I applaud them for what 295 00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:19,600 Speaker 10: they're doing right now. 296 00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:22,800 Speaker 2: But two things worry me about. You put these injury together. 297 00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:26,280 Speaker 2: Linebacker in injury like you look at and especially if 298 00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:28,640 Speaker 2: you start looking second round, just think about the litany 299 00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:31,760 Speaker 2: of second round of linebackers the Cowboys who came in 300 00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:34,120 Speaker 2: the door already injured. That that wire great play. I 301 00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:36,160 Speaker 2: mean they had the ability for fear, they were great, 302 00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:39,480 Speaker 2: had the ability, but just couldn't get over that injury bug, right, 303 00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:41,679 Speaker 2: And that's the part that really concerned me. And by 304 00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:44,400 Speaker 2: the way, I'm starting to wonder if it's just linebackers 305 00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:47,000 Speaker 2: like that. That is a high collision position, right, and 306 00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:49,840 Speaker 2: it's going to be hard to find people who aren't injured. 307 00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:53,680 Speaker 9: But given with how much is a stake this year, 308 00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:56,600 Speaker 9: how much because of the cap, how much they're going 309 00:13:56,679 --> 00:13:59,640 Speaker 9: to have to rely on the draft? Is this a 310 00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:04,800 Speaker 9: draft for maybe they don't take those types of risks 311 00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:06,640 Speaker 9: in because we know in the time in the second 312 00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:09,480 Speaker 9: round they take it. Yeah, they've draft drafted players that 313 00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:12,120 Speaker 9: fall back to the second round because of injuries or whatever. 314 00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:15,280 Speaker 9: They take him and then sometimes they turned out to 315 00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:17,880 Speaker 9: be good talent, but we know the risk in that 316 00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:20,240 Speaker 9: and how long that takes. So is this a draft 317 00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:23,880 Speaker 9: that maybe they're not willing to do some kind of don't. 318 00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:26,280 Speaker 8: I don't know that they're going to depart from their 319 00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:29,720 Speaker 8: their annual way of handling things. And I say that 320 00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:31,720 Speaker 8: to say I don't think that Will McLay is looking 321 00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:35,280 Speaker 8: at it as, Okay, I need the best possible draft 322 00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:37,960 Speaker 8: pick at every possible selection this year. Because he looks 323 00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:40,520 Speaker 8: at that the same way last year, the year prior, 324 00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:41,800 Speaker 8: he'll look at it the same way next year. So 325 00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:43,400 Speaker 8: I think his approach is going to be the same. 326 00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:46,320 Speaker 8: But I also do think that it matters what the 327 00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:48,520 Speaker 8: position is that and who the player is. So if 328 00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:50,640 Speaker 8: you look at Jonathan Brooks, for example, one of the 329 00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:52,960 Speaker 8: reasons they're interested in Jonathan Brooks is not only because 330 00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:55,480 Speaker 8: obviously he's a dynamic talent on the field, but guess 331 00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:57,920 Speaker 8: who did his his procedure for his torn a cl 332 00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:02,720 Speaker 8: same thing. So when they have that type of information 333 00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:05,040 Speaker 8: and that type of insight, I think that makes them 334 00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:07,360 Speaker 8: feel like it's less of a risk having that information. 335 00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:08,480 Speaker 4: So it's it's contextual. 336 00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:10,920 Speaker 8: But I don't think that this is a situation where 337 00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:13,320 Speaker 8: will McClain his scops go into the offseason saying, oh, well, 338 00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:14,360 Speaker 8: we got to change things up. 339 00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:17,280 Speaker 10: This is the scary thing. And I'm not trying to 340 00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:20,800 Speaker 10: be the wet blanket guy. You're dealing with a lot 341 00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:23,280 Speaker 10: of coaches that are on one year deals. Are you 342 00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:26,240 Speaker 10: drafting for coaches that are on one year deals? Or 343 00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:28,920 Speaker 10: are you thinking about the fact that, like a lot 344 00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:32,240 Speaker 10: of your depth went flying out this door. You know, 345 00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:34,840 Speaker 10: you got to think about And I know a guy 346 00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:37,320 Speaker 10: like I say on Mike Zamra, I know how Mike operates. 347 00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:40,880 Speaker 10: Mike is a bring me whoever you got guy, I'll 348 00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:43,000 Speaker 10: coach you. I'll tell you what I like in a player, 349 00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:47,080 Speaker 10: just but bring me guys. You know McCarthy has come 350 00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:50,560 Speaker 10: out recently and talked on some media opportunities and said, 351 00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:54,240 Speaker 10: I'm a draft and development guy. That's his background At 352 00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:57,880 Speaker 10: Green Bay. Teddy Thompson picked the players Mike. The coaches 353 00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:01,440 Speaker 10: stayed back. Mike really trusted Ted and what those guys do. 354 00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:05,800 Speaker 10: I think Mike trust Will and this crew to find 355 00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:08,720 Speaker 10: players for him. I know from my experience working in 356 00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:11,760 Speaker 10: this front office, though, that the Jones family will allow 357 00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:13,720 Speaker 10: the head coach to have his say, whether you want 358 00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:18,200 Speaker 10: to take it or not. Dave Campo, you know, Chan Gaily, 359 00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:21,520 Speaker 10: whoever they the head coach does have a say, But 360 00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:25,120 Speaker 10: Mike has been conditioned himself to take a step back 361 00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:26,480 Speaker 10: let them do their jobs. 362 00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:30,000 Speaker 3: But you do wonder, you do wonder is how. 363 00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:35,120 Speaker 10: Much influence will coaches have on this draft, knowing that 364 00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:40,400 Speaker 10: potentially it could be a completely different staff. But that's 365 00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:42,160 Speaker 10: something you always, you know, you think about. You just 366 00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:44,040 Speaker 10: got to go out and like Patrick said, you go out, 367 00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:46,320 Speaker 10: you have a plan for what you want to do, 368 00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:48,560 Speaker 10: You get your players, you go forward, and you hope 369 00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:51,520 Speaker 10: that you know, everything works out. But that's a little 370 00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:54,080 Speaker 10: bit of the danger right now with everybody being on 371 00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:55,240 Speaker 10: that on that one. 372 00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:57,240 Speaker 9: Deal, and on top of that, I think you have 373 00:16:57,320 --> 00:17:00,600 Speaker 9: to add. And I know they try to block out 374 00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:04,119 Speaker 9: outside noise and you're not gonna allow it outside noise 375 00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:07,560 Speaker 9: to affect kind of what you do in this type 376 00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:10,960 Speaker 9: of business. But at the same time, I wonder if 377 00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:15,720 Speaker 9: the amount of pressure that they felt surrounding the Cowboys, 378 00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:19,960 Speaker 9: from the fan base, from the critics, everywhere, all around 379 00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:24,080 Speaker 9: the media this off season, does that change into maybe 380 00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:27,879 Speaker 9: the strategy that they're used to in drafting for the future. 381 00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:31,800 Speaker 2: Really, I don't think that has one even small amount 382 00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:34,840 Speaker 2: of difference, makes one small bit about a difference to 383 00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:36,760 Speaker 2: the people that are making the decision. I don't think 384 00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:40,240 Speaker 2: they care one bit what is the national narrative or whatever. 385 00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:42,200 Speaker 2: I think at the end of the day, they feel 386 00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:45,800 Speaker 2: confident in Will McLay and Will McClay feels confident in 387 00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:48,520 Speaker 2: his evaluation and the evaluation of his team to where 388 00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:51,120 Speaker 2: I don't yeah, and I don't think that at all 389 00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:54,200 Speaker 2: is impacted by what people think of it. 390 00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:58,560 Speaker 10: It's not the outside pressure. It's the eternal pressure of. 391 00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:03,200 Speaker 3: Not signed free agents. That's that's a legitimate. 392 00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:05,520 Speaker 2: Pressure because of what it means, like what it's left you. 393 00:18:05,560 --> 00:18:09,520 Speaker 10: Now put a lot of pressure on two areas. One 394 00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:14,400 Speaker 10: area is the draft. The second area is undrafted free agents. 395 00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:17,639 Speaker 10: The one thing that Jones family will do is they 396 00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:20,760 Speaker 10: will pony up for you. Look at all the undrafted guy. 397 00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:22,920 Speaker 10: Look at what they've done. 398 00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:23,280 Speaker 3: TJ. 399 00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:23,920 Speaker 4: Bass. 400 00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:26,919 Speaker 10: Guys like that that they the money that they've spent. 401 00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:30,280 Speaker 10: They will spend money on undrafted free agents. You know 402 00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:32,399 Speaker 10: why those guys are on their draft board. 403 00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:33,200 Speaker 3: TJ. 404 00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:35,800 Speaker 10: Bass like a fifth round guy. All of a sudden, 405 00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:38,159 Speaker 10: he goes through the whole draft, nobody takes them. We 406 00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:40,160 Speaker 10: got to have that guy. We thought enough of him. 407 00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:43,080 Speaker 10: You know, they're willing to do that. This puts a 408 00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:45,600 Speaker 10: lot of pressure on them because of what happened in 409 00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:48,879 Speaker 10: last year's draft. You know, and we'll see what happens 410 00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:51,880 Speaker 10: with Mazie and you know, Schoolmaker and those guys. We'll 411 00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:54,119 Speaker 10: see what happens with Overshown. You know, you still got 412 00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:56,760 Speaker 10: to give it a chance. But the thing that now 413 00:18:56,960 --> 00:18:59,880 Speaker 10: is it's like, okay, we can't have back to back 414 00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:04,600 Speaker 10: non productive drafts. And then also they have to have 415 00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:08,280 Speaker 10: to kind of get all that depth back. They're gonna 416 00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:11,280 Speaker 10: have to figure out something too about those undrafted free agents. 417 00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:15,000 Speaker 10: That's the next that's gonna be instead of just signing 418 00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:18,560 Speaker 10: guys off the street right now, that's your next best 419 00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:22,800 Speaker 10: source draft and then get those undrafted free agents. Now 420 00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:27,000 Speaker 10: you've got twenty something guys that could potentially make a 421 00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:28,000 Speaker 10: difference on your roster. 422 00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:29,960 Speaker 2: And not to get too far into draft talk, but 423 00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:31,920 Speaker 2: it also makes me wonder if they're going to be 424 00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:34,480 Speaker 2: looking even more so this year for opportunities to trade 425 00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:36,640 Speaker 2: back and get more picks. It just gives them more 426 00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:38,639 Speaker 2: cracks at it gives them more bodies in the building. 427 00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:41,200 Speaker 2: I think that could be another strategy where they're trying 428 00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:43,639 Speaker 2: to fill in the depth that they've lost in free agency, 429 00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:45,359 Speaker 2: is by getting more picks to do it. 430 00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:48,040 Speaker 8: Yeah, we talked about it yesterday, just kind of offline 431 00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:51,280 Speaker 8: where it was like the Cowboys they really want that 432 00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:53,440 Speaker 8: fourth round pick back. They really want that back, and 433 00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:54,920 Speaker 8: I think they're going to go into the draft trying 434 00:19:54,920 --> 00:19:56,399 Speaker 8: to figure out how to get that back. So I 435 00:19:56,400 --> 00:19:59,119 Speaker 8: do expect at least one trade back, maybe Day one, 436 00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:00,480 Speaker 8: early day two. They're going to trying to get them 437 00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:01,119 Speaker 8: a fourth round a. 438 00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:02,920 Speaker 10: Minute, go back for spots, You grab you a third 439 00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:04,040 Speaker 10: if you want, no doubt. 440 00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:05,600 Speaker 2: All right, we're going to take our first break. We 441 00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:07,720 Speaker 2: win and come back, and I got some questions for 442 00:20:07,760 --> 00:20:09,920 Speaker 2: you guys about kind of where the Cowboys sit heading 443 00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:13,320 Speaker 2: into the draft, post free agency, or at least the 444 00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:16,040 Speaker 2: first round free agency, where they sit, what their biggest 445 00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:18,800 Speaker 2: losses are, and some areas where they have some strength 446 00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:21,080 Speaker 2: that maybe they can can look to exploit. We'll talk 447 00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:22,560 Speaker 2: about that when we come back. This is Dallas Cowboys 448 00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:23,200 Speaker 2: dot Com Radio. 449 00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:25,919 Speaker 11: Todd thought it would be secure to jog in the 450 00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:28,880 Speaker 11: cheatah Savannah.

All right, so let's jump in. Uh, here's 510 00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:06,000 Speaker 2: what I wanted to to talk about let's talk or actually, 511 00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:08,000 Speaker 2: before we get to that, we just got some breaking news. 512 00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:09,840 Speaker 2: We'll go to Let's go to Patrick and get that 513 00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:14,600 Speaker 2: that break news. That's old school. Most people don't get that, right. 514 00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:16,640 Speaker 2: I got that coming. 515 00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:17,320 Speaker 4: Through on the wire, right. 516 00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:21,639 Speaker 8: Cowboys have officially agreed to terms with swing tackle Tonydogas. 517 00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:23,879 Speaker 8: So this will be a second a second goal for 518 00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:25,880 Speaker 8: cho Manydoga with the Cowboys. It's on a one year 519 00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:30,080 Speaker 8: deal through twenty twenty four. Does this absolutely guarantee Edoga spot. No, 520 00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:32,760 Speaker 8: he will be up against whomever the Cowboys decide to 521 00:23:32,760 --> 00:23:35,199 Speaker 8: pick in the draft, assuming they go at tackle, and 522 00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:37,760 Speaker 8: then of course we'll see what happens in undrafted free agency. 523 00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:41,200 Speaker 8: But still an uphill battle for a doga between mini camp, 524 00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:43,680 Speaker 8: training camp, preseason. He's gonna have to earn his roster spot. 525 00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:45,400 Speaker 8: But as it stands, he's got one on the team. 526 00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:48,679 Speaker 2: And I still say keep an eye on Tyler Smith. 527 00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:51,520 Speaker 2: I don't think it's a done deal after Tyring isn't 528 00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:53,040 Speaker 2: coming back. I just say keep an eye on it. 529 00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:54,439 Speaker 3: We'll see what a first moving this. 530 00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:55,680 Speaker 2: As far as moving to tackle. 531 00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:56,560 Speaker 3: I do I feel like that the. 532 00:23:57,200 --> 00:23:58,359 Speaker 2: Draft, that draft is going to dictate. 533 00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:01,000 Speaker 3: I think the draft will dictate that, all right, So. 534 00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:02,760 Speaker 2: Here's what I want to do. I want to I 535 00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:04,760 Speaker 2: want you guys to think about these names. And by 536 00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:06,560 Speaker 2: the way, you could throw in another name if you choose. 537 00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:10,199 Speaker 2: But if you had to say one player was the 538 00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:13,520 Speaker 2: biggest loss for Dallas in free agency, a guy that 539 00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:16,080 Speaker 2: signed somewhere else, that was here last year, who would 540 00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:18,400 Speaker 2: you say it is. I'll throw out some names. Dorn's Armstrong, 541 00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:24,080 Speaker 2: Tyler Biattish, Tyron Smith, Tony Pollard, Dante Fowler, Jonathan Hankins. 542 00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:28,840 Speaker 4: It's Tyron Smith for me, and I get what you're saying. 543 00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:33,000 Speaker 8: I know you're you're gung ho, and I'm not mad 544 00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:34,840 Speaker 8: at that your gung ho about the Tyler Smith to 545 00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:35,399 Speaker 8: left tackle. 546 00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:36,680 Speaker 4: I get it. We've had the conversation. 547 00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:39,440 Speaker 8: My only thing was, and I know I've heard Brian 548 00:24:39,480 --> 00:24:41,280 Speaker 8: say this before, so I think we're on the same 549 00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:41,720 Speaker 8: page with this. 550 00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:42,639 Speaker 4: Correct me if I'm wrong. 551 00:24:42,840 --> 00:24:45,480 Speaker 8: It's not that we we aren't in on that, because 552 00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:47,399 Speaker 8: we're in on that, but it's the fact that the 553 00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:51,879 Speaker 8: team has shown such adversity. I'm such an adverse reaction 554 00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:53,400 Speaker 8: to me. You don't think that will that I don't 555 00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:55,760 Speaker 8: feel like I should spend that innergy that's thinking about it. 556 00:24:55,800 --> 00:24:56,360 Speaker 4: That's what I mean. 557 00:24:56,600 --> 00:24:59,000 Speaker 8: But I feel like if that holds true and they 558 00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:01,879 Speaker 8: are still so verse to possibly moving because even when 559 00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:04,400 Speaker 8: you hear Mike McCarthy speak from the owners meetings, he 560 00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:06,440 Speaker 8: basically said, well, yeah, it's an option, but the way 561 00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:08,399 Speaker 8: he downplayed it was like, that's not our first, second, 562 00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:09,000 Speaker 8: the third option. 563 00:25:09,359 --> 00:25:09,520 Speaker 4: Right. 564 00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:12,639 Speaker 8: So that being said, if that holds true, then the 565 00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:16,199 Speaker 8: loss of Tyrone Smith weighs very large for me because 566 00:25:16,359 --> 00:25:21,359 Speaker 8: who's your left tackle? If you keeping tid I'm gonna 567 00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:24,480 Speaker 8: pass it off. You almost got me fired. And my 568 00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:28,560 Speaker 8: boss is the one asking the question, trying to I'll 569 00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:34,200 Speaker 8: tell you all jokes aside, he's not your answer starting 570 00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:35,120 Speaker 8: to left tackle. 571 00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:39,320 Speaker 2: Your leader quotquote. 572 00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:48,119 Speaker 3: Unemployment office, I man just yanked the wheel on it. 573 00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:49,240 Speaker 9: Know. 574 00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:52,080 Speaker 8: So if they hold firm on well, depending on how 575 00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:54,399 Speaker 8: the draft shakes out, I think the answer is in 576 00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:57,160 Speaker 8: the draft. If you don't get your answer in the draft, 577 00:25:57,400 --> 00:25:59,240 Speaker 8: you're in huge trouble period. 578 00:25:59,320 --> 00:25:59,880 Speaker 4: Bottom line. 579 00:25:59,880 --> 00:26:02,040 Speaker 2: But as Brian has told us, this is a very 580 00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:03,800 Speaker 2: deep draft for tackle there. If you don't get in 581 00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:04,840 Speaker 2: the first round, you might not. 582 00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:07,280 Speaker 4: Just you have to find your insight at some point 583 00:26:07,320 --> 00:26:09,240 Speaker 4: in the draft. Yeah. Yeah, and it doesn't have to 584 00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:11,440 Speaker 4: be day one, but you have to find us get. 585 00:26:11,359 --> 00:26:13,359 Speaker 2: About awesome too. I do think that's something we should 586 00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:13,879 Speaker 2: keep an eye on. 587 00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:14,120 Speaker 3: Sure. 588 00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:16,399 Speaker 2: I think last year camp there was enough there to 589 00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:18,200 Speaker 2: make me say a little more development. He might be 590 00:26:18,240 --> 00:26:20,359 Speaker 2: a guy that could be answered. But keep going, Bran. 591 00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:24,359 Speaker 10: Yeah, you know it's funny. I keep if you would 592 00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:27,560 Speaker 10: have just said, and I love Fowler and Armstrong and 593 00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:29,800 Speaker 10: those guys, if you would have just said, who's a 594 00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:34,080 Speaker 10: bigger loss, Tyron Smith or Jonathan Hankins, if you focus 595 00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:37,640 Speaker 10: it even that way, let me ask you this, did 596 00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:40,960 Speaker 10: the Cowboys run defense really play better with Jonathan Hankins 597 00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:44,320 Speaker 10: in there? Do we still have questions even if you 598 00:26:44,359 --> 00:26:47,280 Speaker 10: had Jonathan Hankins back, which you still have questions about. 599 00:26:47,119 --> 00:26:49,840 Speaker 3: The run defense? Fair? You know That's the thing. 600 00:26:49,880 --> 00:26:52,240 Speaker 10: I just kind of keep circling back because we talked 601 00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:54,640 Speaker 10: they don't have a one technique on this roster right now. 602 00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:56,840 Speaker 10: I mean they're gonna try and get Mozzie Smith built 603 00:26:56,880 --> 00:26:58,960 Speaker 10: back up and hopefully he can help out. 604 00:26:59,119 --> 00:26:59,760 Speaker 3: You know, they're okay. 605 00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:05,600 Speaker 10: At three, Patrick told us the Murphy from Texas is 606 00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:06,000 Speaker 10: coming in. 607 00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:08,320 Speaker 3: He's a three technique. He's best three technique in the draft. 608 00:27:08,359 --> 00:27:10,840 Speaker 10: Yeah, I mean he seriously you talk about a but 609 00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:13,439 Speaker 10: he's not a one technique. He's a three, you know, 610 00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:16,160 Speaker 10: and you've got some three techniques already on this team. 611 00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:19,359 Speaker 10: Maybe it doesn't keep you from draft, but it's gotta 612 00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:22,240 Speaker 10: be Tyron Smith, right. I mean even though if you 613 00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:25,280 Speaker 10: say that we hey, they don't have a one, but 614 00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:29,560 Speaker 10: were they really? Were they really that much better with 615 00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:34,160 Speaker 10: Jonathan Hankins, So immediately all think Kyler, it's the run 616 00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:38,159 Speaker 10: defense is wrecked. They weren't very good with him in 617 00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:40,719 Speaker 10: there at times, so maybe they needed to go a 618 00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:44,159 Speaker 10: different route on this. So I would lean to Tyron Smith, 619 00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:44,840 Speaker 10: is what I would say. 620 00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:47,280 Speaker 2: Let me ask you this, how much Yeah, talking out 621 00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:49,400 Speaker 2: of this one, how much was the poor run defense 622 00:27:50,040 --> 00:27:54,640 Speaker 2: a reflection of specifically Hankins play or the poor linebacker play? 623 00:27:54,800 --> 00:27:57,400 Speaker 10: I think this is why we're getting all these linebackers 624 00:27:57,400 --> 00:28:00,960 Speaker 10: on thirty visit, you know, and legitimate downhill fix. 625 00:28:01,119 --> 00:28:03,080 Speaker 2: Right, you put Hankins with one of those linebackers in 626 00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:03,840 Speaker 2: the run defense? 627 00:28:03,880 --> 00:28:04,760 Speaker 3: Fix? Is my question. 628 00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:09,239 Speaker 10: Kendrick's my guy Wallace from Kentucky. You know, give me 629 00:28:09,280 --> 00:28:11,919 Speaker 10: one of give me that comed you know, Demon Clark. 630 00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:14,560 Speaker 10: I think the Moon Clark. The thing about him is 631 00:28:15,520 --> 00:28:18,320 Speaker 10: he went backwards for me and I was expecting him 632 00:28:18,320 --> 00:28:20,240 Speaker 10: to go forward. And maybe that had something to do 633 00:28:20,320 --> 00:28:23,200 Speaker 10: with Layton Vanderesh being out. Yeah, you know, things started 634 00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:26,080 Speaker 10: to kind of you know, it kind of because too much. 635 00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:29,600 Speaker 3: But maybe the whole run defense itself. 636 00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:32,760 Speaker 10: Maybe it's not just Jonathan Hankins, as you say, maybe 637 00:28:32,760 --> 00:28:39,000 Speaker 10: it's Jonathan Hankins linebackers safety play or undersize safety is 638 00:28:39,040 --> 00:28:42,200 Speaker 10: trying to play as linebackers. Yeah, you know, but the 639 00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:46,880 Speaker 10: Tyron Smith one hurts you just because now you're in 640 00:28:46,920 --> 00:28:48,920 Speaker 10: a moment where you maybe have to move an all 641 00:28:48,920 --> 00:28:51,280 Speaker 10: pro guard or you're going to have to use the 642 00:28:51,320 --> 00:28:54,400 Speaker 10: twenty fourth pick overall on a tackle. That's the one. 643 00:28:54,520 --> 00:28:57,360 Speaker 10: There's a lot of moving parts with that Tyron Smith loss. 644 00:28:58,200 --> 00:29:01,200 Speaker 9: I mean, I think you definitely saw the different friends. Uh, 645 00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:05,600 Speaker 9: when Jonathan Hankins was there versus him not being there, 646 00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:08,360 Speaker 9: we got a good look at what that was like 647 00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:15,360 Speaker 9: for a brief period there. But with Tyler's Tyron Smith 648 00:29:17,320 --> 00:29:19,240 Speaker 9: right now, and I say this right now, I'm not 649 00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:23,560 Speaker 9: suffering the loss as much just because I feel like 650 00:29:23,640 --> 00:29:26,120 Speaker 9: it's been coming for years now. 651 00:29:26,240 --> 00:29:27,440 Speaker 3: Okay, I want to ask you the question. 652 00:29:27,520 --> 00:29:29,720 Speaker 10: You you've all along kind of been like, I don't 653 00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:31,600 Speaker 10: want to be held hostage. I'm sorry if I'm saying 654 00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:33,280 Speaker 10: it's the wrong way. I don't want to be held 655 00:29:33,320 --> 00:29:36,240 Speaker 10: hostage by the position anymore. You've you've been all along, 656 00:29:36,280 --> 00:29:38,680 Speaker 10: and you've been You've been, You've been upfront about that. 657 00:29:38,680 --> 00:29:41,440 Speaker 10: You're like, listen, I keep dealing with this every year. 658 00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:43,680 Speaker 10: I keep dealing with the unknown. 659 00:29:44,240 --> 00:29:46,959 Speaker 3: Is that? Are you okay with moving on? You're like, 660 00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:47,720 Speaker 3: you're okay with this? 661 00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:51,760 Speaker 9: Right, I've been okay because of that, I think, Uh, 662 00:29:52,080 --> 00:29:54,160 Speaker 9: someone who suffers from anxiety. 663 00:29:53,720 --> 00:29:54,880 Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know what. 664 00:29:58,000 --> 00:30:01,720 Speaker 10: I was speaking to a lot of cowboy fans. 665 00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:05,760 Speaker 9: I like to know what actually I got going on. 666 00:30:05,920 --> 00:30:09,680 Speaker 9: You know, the an injury you cannot predict and all that, 667 00:30:09,720 --> 00:30:12,160 Speaker 9: But when you have a recurrent issue, okay, you know 668 00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:14,600 Speaker 9: what you can possibly expect. 669 00:30:14,640 --> 00:30:15,640 Speaker 3: So I think. 670 00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:18,840 Speaker 9: And that's not to say that when he was on 671 00:30:18,880 --> 00:30:22,400 Speaker 9: the field he was invaluable, because he really really was 672 00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:26,680 Speaker 9: and has been. But I think more so than him 673 00:30:26,800 --> 00:30:30,600 Speaker 9: just leaving is the fact that even with him being here, 674 00:30:30,680 --> 00:30:33,120 Speaker 9: let's say he was still here, I still have a 675 00:30:33,160 --> 00:30:37,560 Speaker 9: crap ton of questions around the O line in general, 676 00:30:37,680 --> 00:30:42,360 Speaker 9: because they were not They were good protecting Dak. They 677 00:30:42,360 --> 00:30:45,160 Speaker 9: were pretty solid protecting him in the passing game, but 678 00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:48,800 Speaker 9: what was happening in the run game. That is a 679 00:30:48,920 --> 00:30:52,000 Speaker 9: big issue, and that is an area that the Cowboys 680 00:30:52,040 --> 00:30:55,800 Speaker 9: definitely need to improve because they need to create balance 681 00:30:55,840 --> 00:30:58,120 Speaker 9: in that game. We did not see a good running 682 00:30:58,160 --> 00:31:03,120 Speaker 9: game throughout the whole season. Maybe against Washington, yeah, and 683 00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:07,520 Speaker 9: that was really if that I can remember, But in general, 684 00:31:07,840 --> 00:31:11,440 Speaker 9: I think I just have huge questions in the O line. 685 00:31:11,480 --> 00:31:14,600 Speaker 9: So I think that Tyron Smith, Yeah, you're gonna miss 686 00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:18,760 Speaker 9: him in some aspect, but it frees you from allowing 687 00:31:18,800 --> 00:31:21,960 Speaker 9: yourself to now be forced to what is the future 688 00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:24,960 Speaker 9: from this point moving forward and for you to actually 689 00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:28,920 Speaker 9: have a clear vision, hopefully of what the old line 690 00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:31,040 Speaker 9: is gonna look like from this point one. 691 00:31:31,120 --> 00:31:32,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree with you and Bro. I think that 692 00:31:32,840 --> 00:31:36,280 Speaker 2: for me, it really is more Hankins than Tyrone because 693 00:31:36,320 --> 00:31:38,040 Speaker 2: I've also been in that same camp with you tear 694 00:31:38,080 --> 00:31:40,440 Speaker 2: the band aid off at some point you gotta do it. 695 00:31:40,440 --> 00:31:43,560 Speaker 2: It's hard to walk away from really great players. But 696 00:31:43,920 --> 00:31:47,520 Speaker 2: we've seen a consistent pattern you can't get more consistent 697 00:31:47,560 --> 00:31:49,480 Speaker 2: than knowing Tyron is not going to be able to 698 00:31:49,480 --> 00:31:53,760 Speaker 2: play seventeen games. We know this, This is historically a fact, right, 699 00:31:53,840 --> 00:31:56,680 Speaker 2: And so I'm just like, I can't. I can't continue 700 00:31:56,680 --> 00:31:59,640 Speaker 2: to always every week get to that Saturday night, like 701 00:31:59,680 --> 00:32:01,920 Speaker 2: you say, Brian, like literally wake up Sunday morning and 702 00:32:01,960 --> 00:32:04,000 Speaker 2: it's like, yeah, it's been good, but all of a 703 00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:06,160 Speaker 2: sudden something cropped up and now we got a problem, 704 00:32:06,240 --> 00:32:08,600 Speaker 2: and now he can't play. I just can't. I don't 705 00:32:08,600 --> 00:32:10,280 Speaker 2: want to have to live in that world anymore. I 706 00:32:10,320 --> 00:32:12,880 Speaker 2: have enough question marks. I'd rather go ahead and move on. 707 00:32:13,120 --> 00:32:15,600 Speaker 2: And even if that means that the guy have maybe 708 00:32:15,840 --> 00:32:18,360 Speaker 2: a little lesser right now, the point is I know 709 00:32:18,400 --> 00:32:20,120 Speaker 2: what I'm getting every week. I can plan for that, 710 00:32:20,360 --> 00:32:21,800 Speaker 2: and I'll I'll take it one step further. 711 00:32:21,880 --> 00:32:24,720 Speaker 3: Brian, when you talk about got them on this, I know, 712 00:32:24,760 --> 00:32:25,280 Speaker 3: and that's fair. 713 00:32:25,440 --> 00:32:27,600 Speaker 2: I'm looking forward to it. But but but when you 714 00:32:27,600 --> 00:32:29,200 Speaker 2: talk about the defensive side of the ball, when you 715 00:32:29,200 --> 00:32:31,640 Speaker 2: said Hankins, you know you gotta look at him and 716 00:32:31,640 --> 00:32:33,480 Speaker 2: say the run defense, Well, I think ammor made on 717 00:32:33,520 --> 00:32:35,520 Speaker 2: a stue point there. If you're gonna do that on defense, 718 00:32:35,520 --> 00:32:36,920 Speaker 2: and you gotta do the same on offense and say 719 00:32:36,920 --> 00:32:39,560 Speaker 2: the run offense wasn't great, Right, What's Tyrant also a 720 00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:40,000 Speaker 2: part of that? 721 00:32:40,240 --> 00:32:41,160 Speaker 3: Right? Yeah? 722 00:32:41,280 --> 00:32:45,760 Speaker 10: The thing that I think I accepted the unknown with 723 00:32:45,840 --> 00:32:48,800 Speaker 10: Tyron Smith because he was so great, because I knew 724 00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:53,000 Speaker 10: I can win twelve games because he's gonna play. You know, 725 00:32:53,400 --> 00:32:58,240 Speaker 10: we saw what others play in the position, how it 726 00:32:58,320 --> 00:33:01,480 Speaker 10: affected the way you're it affected the chance you had 727 00:33:01,480 --> 00:33:02,680 Speaker 10: of winning the football game. 728 00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:04,520 Speaker 9: I still have nightmares from Atlanta. 729 00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:09,600 Speaker 10: Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's been a long time, but that's 730 00:33:11,200 --> 00:33:15,360 Speaker 10: but that was a nightmare game. But to me, I 731 00:33:15,360 --> 00:33:18,240 Speaker 10: I think that, like, yeah, I know that it's It's 732 00:33:18,320 --> 00:33:21,680 Speaker 10: not I could wake up in New Jersey and not 733 00:33:21,720 --> 00:33:24,760 Speaker 10: play that day and my chances of winning that game 734 00:33:24,840 --> 00:33:27,840 Speaker 10: went probably way down because of him not being in there. 735 00:33:27,960 --> 00:33:29,920 Speaker 10: But does it I think I would rather accept that. 736 00:33:30,040 --> 00:33:33,160 Speaker 10: I think I would rather accept the unknown of every 737 00:33:33,200 --> 00:33:37,560 Speaker 10: week holding my breath as opposed to this guy we 738 00:33:37,640 --> 00:33:41,120 Speaker 10: got in here right now other than other than Tyler Smith, 739 00:33:41,240 --> 00:33:45,200 Speaker 10: anybody else other than Tyler Smith. Right now, I'm thinking 740 00:33:45,640 --> 00:33:47,640 Speaker 10: there's probably a chance we're going to lose this game today. 741 00:33:47,680 --> 00:33:49,600 Speaker 2: But that's also where I get back to, and I know, 742 00:33:49,680 --> 00:33:51,720 Speaker 2: I know what you're saying the Cowboys have shown no 743 00:33:51,840 --> 00:33:54,200 Speaker 2: desire to want to do this. But I'm looking at 744 00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:56,800 Speaker 2: this roster and I'm saying, if you cannot draft a 745 00:33:56,840 --> 00:34:00,280 Speaker 2: tackle that you think is capable, Tyler Smith will will be. 746 00:34:00,520 --> 00:34:02,080 Speaker 2: I will put money on it. He will be a 747 00:34:02,120 --> 00:34:02,959 Speaker 2: Pro Bowl caliber. 748 00:34:03,960 --> 00:34:07,000 Speaker 10: That's yeah, I agree with you, and I think bass 749 00:34:07,400 --> 00:34:10,040 Speaker 10: is more than case left guard. 750 00:34:10,640 --> 00:34:12,880 Speaker 2: So so you have the answer sitting here if you 751 00:34:12,960 --> 00:34:16,040 Speaker 2: choose to take that option. And that's also why I 752 00:34:16,040 --> 00:34:18,520 Speaker 2: think when you go into the draft, for me, I'm 753 00:34:18,520 --> 00:34:21,120 Speaker 2: looking at center as a more important position. I got 754 00:34:21,160 --> 00:34:23,880 Speaker 2: to get drafted than even tackle because I have an 755 00:34:23,880 --> 00:34:26,400 Speaker 2: answer here. It may not be my preferred answer, but 756 00:34:26,440 --> 00:34:28,400 Speaker 2: it is an answer, and it's a it's a workable answer. 757 00:34:28,400 --> 00:34:30,440 Speaker 4: Well, you know, I'm always going to go center over 758 00:34:30,640 --> 00:34:31,120 Speaker 4: left tackle. 759 00:34:31,160 --> 00:34:33,520 Speaker 8: We had this conversation because I feel like the more 760 00:34:33,560 --> 00:34:36,439 Speaker 8: important part of the offensive line is protecting the interior. Sure, 761 00:34:36,840 --> 00:34:38,920 Speaker 8: and you if you allow the interior to collapse, it 762 00:34:38,960 --> 00:34:41,200 Speaker 8: doesn't much matter what happens on the edges because your 763 00:34:41,239 --> 00:34:43,200 Speaker 8: play is blown up. So I'm really on that for 764 00:34:43,239 --> 00:34:44,960 Speaker 8: a slightly different reason, but I'm with you on that. 765 00:34:45,320 --> 00:34:47,520 Speaker 10: This is why you run the best media department in 766 00:34:47,560 --> 00:34:53,000 Speaker 10: the in the world and not. 767 00:34:53,520 --> 00:34:55,200 Speaker 3: Shot right now. 768 00:34:55,200 --> 00:34:59,400 Speaker 10: They would walk down, they would say, they would say, Derek, 769 00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:03,560 Speaker 10: congratulations here you run one of the most powerful media 770 00:35:03,920 --> 00:35:10,120 Speaker 10: entities in the world. You're not picking play see but 771 00:35:10,160 --> 00:35:10,800 Speaker 10: you're not wrong. 772 00:35:10,880 --> 00:35:11,840 Speaker 3: See that you're not wrong. 773 00:35:11,960 --> 00:35:14,840 Speaker 10: If we if we took all the Cowboy Nation and 774 00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:16,359 Speaker 10: got all got in a room, if we all got 775 00:35:16,360 --> 00:35:18,840 Speaker 10: in this one hundred and fifty set meeting room that 776 00:35:18,880 --> 00:35:21,040 Speaker 10: they have with the players and had everybody say that 777 00:35:21,480 --> 00:35:25,960 Speaker 10: everybody's with you, and they would walk in and say nope, nope, 778 00:35:26,200 --> 00:35:29,520 Speaker 10: and you would go, okay, well, thanks everybody for coming. 779 00:35:31,239 --> 00:35:32,400 Speaker 3: You know, make sure everything you know. 780 00:35:32,440 --> 00:35:36,160 Speaker 10: But no, that's it's it seems. 781 00:35:37,120 --> 00:35:37,640 Speaker 3: I don't know. 782 00:35:38,920 --> 00:35:40,520 Speaker 2: Well, honestly, I do think we do. 783 00:35:40,960 --> 00:35:41,600 Speaker 4: I don't know. 784 00:35:41,800 --> 00:35:44,760 Speaker 3: I don't know. I do know this about Jerry Jones. 785 00:35:44,760 --> 00:35:47,160 Speaker 10: I know how important it is, and Patrick's absolutely right 786 00:35:47,640 --> 00:35:49,880 Speaker 10: working with Jerry Jones, I know how important it is 787 00:35:49,920 --> 00:35:51,880 Speaker 10: for him to have the middle of the pocket the 788 00:35:51,920 --> 00:35:52,400 Speaker 10: way it is. 789 00:35:52,680 --> 00:35:52,920 Speaker 4: That's it. 790 00:35:53,200 --> 00:35:54,160 Speaker 3: You look at the you. 791 00:35:54,120 --> 00:35:56,160 Speaker 10: Look at the you know they draft a center in 792 00:35:56,200 --> 00:35:58,920 Speaker 10: the first round. Teams were drafted Travis Frederick. I mean, 793 00:35:59,000 --> 00:36:01,239 Speaker 10: like people, he's a third round no that's a first 794 00:36:01,320 --> 00:36:03,359 Speaker 10: round player right there. You know, look what they did 795 00:36:03,360 --> 00:36:06,279 Speaker 10: with Zach Martin. No, we're not taking Johnny Manziel. We're 796 00:36:06,320 --> 00:36:08,320 Speaker 10: taking a guard who played tackle. 797 00:36:08,080 --> 00:36:09,960 Speaker 4: At Notre Dame. We want him in the game. 798 00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:10,800 Speaker 3: We want him a guard. 799 00:36:11,360 --> 00:36:14,840 Speaker 10: They're their Their idea of keeping the front of the 800 00:36:14,880 --> 00:36:19,280 Speaker 10: pocket clean and the ability to step up is important 801 00:36:19,280 --> 00:36:19,600 Speaker 10: to them. 802 00:36:19,680 --> 00:36:21,360 Speaker 3: It's it's a fundamental. 803 00:36:21,960 --> 00:36:24,840 Speaker 10: It's like something if they walk down from the mountain 804 00:36:24,920 --> 00:36:28,080 Speaker 10: with the ten commandments, Thou shall protect the middle of 805 00:36:28,120 --> 00:36:31,160 Speaker 10: the pocket. You know, that's one of their ten commandments 806 00:36:31,239 --> 00:36:34,640 Speaker 10: right there. You know, Jerius Moses is awesome, by the way, 807 00:36:34,680 --> 00:36:37,400 Speaker 10: that would be kind of cool, but you know he 808 00:36:38,080 --> 00:36:42,640 Speaker 10: he get but grow it out, you know you can 809 00:36:42,680 --> 00:36:44,920 Speaker 10: do it right, Yeah, you can absolutely do it. So 810 00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:48,200 Speaker 10: the thing about it is, though, that's a fundamental. That's 811 00:36:48,320 --> 00:36:50,400 Speaker 10: that's my opinion of it.

And how they usually handle 885 00:40:20,800 --> 00:40:25,640 Speaker 9: free agency draft. Are we at a point where dot 886 00:40:25,719 --> 00:40:28,839 Speaker 9: te pod is just making so much noise right now 887 00:40:28,880 --> 00:40:30,640 Speaker 9: that you're like, oh my god, this is about to 888 00:40:30,680 --> 00:40:33,480 Speaker 9: tip over where you have to step out of what 889 00:40:33,520 --> 00:40:36,080 Speaker 9: you're used to doing, and now you're kind of forcing 890 00:40:36,080 --> 00:40:41,040 Speaker 9: yourself to try different things or different methods than where 891 00:40:41,040 --> 00:40:43,520 Speaker 9: you're used to doing everything. 892 00:40:43,520 --> 00:40:46,400 Speaker 8: I think there's a difference between fundamentals and. 893 00:40:47,800 --> 00:40:48,960 Speaker 4: Your comfort zone. 894 00:40:49,120 --> 00:40:50,799 Speaker 8: I think those are two different things, and I need 895 00:40:50,920 --> 00:40:53,880 Speaker 8: I think that once you understand that, then you would 896 00:40:54,200 --> 00:40:57,440 Speaker 8: understand my answer to that, which is true, Fundamentals you 897 00:40:57,440 --> 00:41:01,680 Speaker 8: should never get away from. Okay, whether it be you know, 898 00:41:01,960 --> 00:41:04,400 Speaker 8: valuing the interior of the offensive line or the xterior 899 00:41:04,400 --> 00:41:06,759 Speaker 8: of the offensive line, you don't change that just because 900 00:41:06,760 --> 00:41:08,759 Speaker 8: of what you might be going through this offseason free 901 00:41:08,760 --> 00:41:11,920 Speaker 8: agency or how the last season ended. Fundamentals are fundamentals 902 00:41:11,920 --> 00:41:14,520 Speaker 8: for a reason, right you're breathing for a reason. That's 903 00:41:14,520 --> 00:41:19,920 Speaker 8: a fundamental comfort zone. Free agency spending, your method of 904 00:41:19,960 --> 00:41:22,839 Speaker 8: spending or not spending a free agency that's not a fundamental. 905 00:41:22,920 --> 00:41:24,120 Speaker 4: Even if you you know. 906 00:41:24,160 --> 00:41:25,920 Speaker 8: Kind of grabbed a sharpie and wrote that as the 907 00:41:25,920 --> 00:41:29,799 Speaker 8: eleventh commandment on your tablet. That's not actually a fundamental 908 00:41:29,800 --> 00:41:32,400 Speaker 8: that's your comfort zone. That's what you've kind of struct 909 00:41:32,440 --> 00:41:33,200 Speaker 8: I disagree with that. 910 00:41:33,280 --> 00:41:36,160 Speaker 2: I think for this organization. I think their approach to 911 00:41:36,239 --> 00:41:39,240 Speaker 2: free agency is a core principle for them. They believe 912 00:41:39,960 --> 00:41:42,120 Speaker 2: you we heard Stephen talk about it. They believe, yeah, 913 00:41:42,160 --> 00:41:43,920 Speaker 2: but that that would be a core principle, like that 914 00:41:44,000 --> 00:41:46,480 Speaker 2: would be the basis of what they believe and how 915 00:41:46,480 --> 00:41:49,480 Speaker 2: they operate is we are we believe that you're going 916 00:41:49,520 --> 00:41:52,239 Speaker 2: to overpay for free agents, and we're not willing to 917 00:41:52,280 --> 00:41:54,760 Speaker 2: overpay for free agents. As as Steven said, you're gonna 918 00:41:54,760 --> 00:41:58,319 Speaker 2: get to pay a good guy great money or you know, 919 00:41:58,360 --> 00:42:00,720 Speaker 2: he had the whole list. Right, That's a core principles, 920 00:42:00,960 --> 00:42:02,600 Speaker 2: right or wrong. And I'm not saying it's right or wrong. 921 00:42:02,640 --> 00:42:05,520 Speaker 2: What I'm saying is that is a fundamental, core principle 922 00:42:05,560 --> 00:42:07,839 Speaker 2: for them. That is how they operate. That is how 923 00:42:07,880 --> 00:42:10,319 Speaker 2: they've operated for how many years now, Like that's just 924 00:42:10,360 --> 00:42:12,319 Speaker 2: their approach. If they're gonna spend, they're gonna spend on 925 00:42:12,320 --> 00:42:14,480 Speaker 2: their own guys. They have not gone out and shown 926 00:42:14,480 --> 00:42:17,080 Speaker 2: a propensity to go out to spend in free agency 927 00:42:17,120 --> 00:42:18,280 Speaker 2: for big time free AGENTSY. 928 00:42:18,360 --> 00:42:18,960 Speaker 4: I agree. 929 00:42:19,000 --> 00:42:20,640 Speaker 8: In the aspect of what you're saying that it is 930 00:42:20,680 --> 00:42:23,560 Speaker 8: a core principle for them. I disagree that just because 931 00:42:23,600 --> 00:42:26,160 Speaker 8: something that's been deemed a core principle, that that suddenly 932 00:42:26,239 --> 00:42:29,080 Speaker 8: makes it a fundamental Okay, so example. 933 00:42:28,719 --> 00:42:29,440 Speaker 2: Tell me the difference. 934 00:42:30,440 --> 00:42:32,520 Speaker 8: Let's use an example. All right, human body, all right, 935 00:42:32,600 --> 00:42:34,759 Speaker 8: you breathe. Fundamentally, you don't have a choice. If you 936 00:42:34,760 --> 00:42:36,759 Speaker 8: want to keep living, you gotta keep breathing. Right, If 937 00:42:36,760 --> 00:42:38,200 Speaker 8: you want to keep living, you got to keep eating. 938 00:42:38,600 --> 00:42:40,920 Speaker 8: But what if I said my core principle for the 939 00:42:40,920 --> 00:42:44,239 Speaker 8: past twenty years was to eat French fries every day 940 00:42:44,520 --> 00:42:47,160 Speaker 8: at you know, twelve noon, because I have the way, 941 00:42:47,280 --> 00:42:48,400 Speaker 8: right if I felt. 942 00:42:48,080 --> 00:42:57,120 Speaker 2: Like that, your. 943 00:42:54,239 --> 00:42:57,120 Speaker 8: Gravy on the front hot. But let's say I chose 944 00:42:57,120 --> 00:42:59,480 Speaker 8: you because I gotta eat. That's the fundamental thing, right, 945 00:42:59,719 --> 00:43:02,760 Speaker 8: But what and how much I consume or how little 946 00:43:02,800 --> 00:43:05,320 Speaker 8: I consume? That might be a core principle for me, 947 00:43:05,600 --> 00:43:07,400 Speaker 8: and that might work in my favor, it might not 948 00:43:07,440 --> 00:43:09,480 Speaker 8: work in my favorite. If I'm if my core principle 949 00:43:09,560 --> 00:43:11,120 Speaker 8: is I'm going to eat broccoli every day at noon, 950 00:43:11,160 --> 00:43:12,560 Speaker 8: then it's probably going to work in my. 951 00:43:14,120 --> 00:43:15,120 Speaker 4: Say that probably if. 952 00:43:15,040 --> 00:43:17,040 Speaker 2: You say that though in the cowboys world, and take 953 00:43:17,040 --> 00:43:20,920 Speaker 2: that analogy to the cowboys world. What becomes fundamental because 954 00:43:20,920 --> 00:43:22,719 Speaker 2: there is nothing that you have to do. The only 955 00:43:22,719 --> 00:43:23,960 Speaker 2: thing you have to have to stay under the cap. 956 00:43:24,000 --> 00:43:24,319 Speaker 3: That's it. 957 00:43:24,320 --> 00:43:25,680 Speaker 4: Well, you have to spend a certain amount of money. 958 00:43:25,719 --> 00:43:26,160 Speaker 2: That's different. 959 00:43:26,160 --> 00:43:26,640 Speaker 4: You got the cap. 960 00:43:26,840 --> 00:43:29,560 Speaker 2: That is that is what. That's not a fundamental principle. 961 00:43:29,560 --> 00:43:32,799 Speaker 2: That is just a law. A fundamental principle is this 962 00:43:32,840 --> 00:43:34,359 Speaker 2: is how we view it, this is how we're going 963 00:43:34,400 --> 00:43:36,480 Speaker 2: to approach it, and it is the basis of what 964 00:43:36,520 --> 00:43:36,919 Speaker 2: we do. 965 00:43:37,160 --> 00:43:41,240 Speaker 9: Right, he was on the debate team and he's married 966 00:43:41,280 --> 00:43:41,880 Speaker 9: to a lawyer. 967 00:43:42,440 --> 00:43:44,719 Speaker 2: No, I'm just like, tell me where I'm wrong. Here, 968 00:43:44,760 --> 00:43:45,399 Speaker 2: tell me where I'm wrong. 969 00:43:45,440 --> 00:43:46,480 Speaker 4: I was also the team. 970 00:43:47,000 --> 00:43:53,680 Speaker 2: You're not shocking outside playing football. 971 00:43:54,440 --> 00:43:57,000 Speaker 8: I don't think we're as far off as from each 972 00:43:57,000 --> 00:43:59,360 Speaker 8: other's points as we think. I think we're splitting hairs 973 00:43:59,440 --> 00:44:01,640 Speaker 8: because you're not wrong in that. It's it's it is 974 00:44:01,640 --> 00:44:03,560 Speaker 8: their core principle. It's how they deem that they want 975 00:44:03,600 --> 00:44:05,360 Speaker 8: to operate. This is how they feel like what's going 976 00:44:05,440 --> 00:44:07,759 Speaker 8: to put them in the best position for success. But 977 00:44:07,800 --> 00:44:10,080 Speaker 8: then you look around the league and other teams have 978 00:44:10,160 --> 00:44:12,720 Speaker 8: different core principles. And let's talk about the new England 979 00:44:12,760 --> 00:44:15,799 Speaker 8: Patriots during their dynasty years, their core principles turned them 980 00:44:15,800 --> 00:44:18,799 Speaker 8: into at an absolute juggernaut year in year out. Now 981 00:44:18,960 --> 00:44:21,200 Speaker 8: those core principles have changed because now Bill is going 982 00:44:21,280 --> 00:44:23,440 Speaker 8: and all of that. So court principles can change, but 983 00:44:23,480 --> 00:44:26,960 Speaker 8: I don't feel like basic fundamentals can or should change. 984 00:44:27,000 --> 00:44:29,280 Speaker 8: Even if we're talking about the x's and o's, certain 985 00:44:29,360 --> 00:44:32,000 Speaker 8: x's and those at certain positions, there are fundamentals go 986 00:44:32,040 --> 00:44:34,760 Speaker 8: to basketball. If you a fundamental would be the ability 987 00:44:34,800 --> 00:44:36,960 Speaker 8: to shoot a free throw effectively, that's a fundamental. Keep 988 00:44:36,960 --> 00:44:40,160 Speaker 8: your fundamentals down. Now you can shoot threes like Steph Curry, 989 00:44:40,160 --> 00:44:42,560 Speaker 8: that's wonderful, but when you get to the foul line, 990 00:44:42,560 --> 00:44:44,200 Speaker 8: can you do what. 991 00:44:44,200 --> 00:44:46,000 Speaker 10: Would you say their fund What would you say? Was 992 00:44:46,040 --> 00:44:48,600 Speaker 10: it a principal or fundamental? What they changed with trading 993 00:44:48,680 --> 00:44:49,760 Speaker 10: draft picks for players. 994 00:44:50,800 --> 00:44:52,280 Speaker 4: I think that's a principal change. 995 00:44:52,440 --> 00:44:55,239 Speaker 10: I think I don't because that's something they love their picks, right, 996 00:44:55,239 --> 00:44:57,160 Speaker 10: and we saw what they did with Cooks. 997 00:44:56,840 --> 00:44:58,080 Speaker 3: And which goes to my point. 998 00:44:58,120 --> 00:45:01,000 Speaker 2: I think that is a change. That is the core 999 00:45:01,080 --> 00:45:02,200 Speaker 2: principle they decided to change. 1000 00:45:02,239 --> 00:45:04,799 Speaker 8: That's which which for me means it's not a fundamental 1001 00:45:04,880 --> 00:45:07,120 Speaker 8: because if you can change that, then it's not a 1002 00:45:07,120 --> 00:45:09,200 Speaker 8: fundamental certain and that's where we're kind of split. 1003 00:45:09,280 --> 00:45:11,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, I guess, I guess I don't. I don't see fundamental. 1004 00:45:11,080 --> 00:45:13,279 Speaker 2: I don't define fundamental the way you do. But that's fine. 1005 00:45:13,320 --> 00:45:15,400 Speaker 4: That's that's why I said we're not We're not far off. 1006 00:45:15,440 --> 00:45:16,719 Speaker 2: It's just a matter of how to me, to me 1007 00:45:16,880 --> 00:45:19,880 Speaker 2: fundamental and and core principle I think are very similar things. 1008 00:45:19,920 --> 00:45:22,680 Speaker 4: But but to give to her but to me not 1009 00:45:22,680 --> 00:45:23,479 Speaker 4: not the same. 1010 00:45:23,600 --> 00:45:25,480 Speaker 2: But but to get to your point, I don't think 1011 00:45:25,520 --> 00:45:28,799 Speaker 2: they necessarily are changing. They've shown us this offseason they're 1012 00:45:28,800 --> 00:45:31,680 Speaker 2: not looking to necessarily change their core principles of how 1013 00:45:31,719 --> 00:45:34,400 Speaker 2: they view roster building. I think they are sticking to 1014 00:45:34,480 --> 00:45:37,480 Speaker 2: the principles that they've always had, Like this is not new, 1015 00:45:37,760 --> 00:45:39,839 Speaker 2: this is what they've always done. The only difference between 1016 00:45:39,840 --> 00:45:41,719 Speaker 2: this year and last year. Last year actually traded for 1017 00:45:41,800 --> 00:45:42,120 Speaker 2: some place. 1018 00:45:44,760 --> 00:45:45,400 Speaker 3: That's something new. 1019 00:45:45,440 --> 00:45:47,840 Speaker 2: But they had to even spend money in free agency. 1020 00:45:47,680 --> 00:45:50,440 Speaker 10: But you have, you have They also get before for 1021 00:45:50,480 --> 00:45:51,680 Speaker 10: Trey Lance, who they never used. 1022 00:45:51,760 --> 00:45:55,160 Speaker 9: Right when what's the last time they faced the situation 1023 00:45:55,680 --> 00:46:02,280 Speaker 9: with a quarterback and other potential players CD Lamb, Mica Parsons, 1024 00:46:02,320 --> 00:46:07,279 Speaker 9: eventually too, where now they're kind of tight to where 1025 00:46:07,800 --> 00:46:11,120 Speaker 9: it changes the amount of spending during free agency and 1026 00:46:11,160 --> 00:46:13,560 Speaker 9: what they've done this year, because even their own guys, 1027 00:46:13,600 --> 00:46:18,759 Speaker 9: they've lost a lot of their own key players for 1028 00:46:18,880 --> 00:46:21,799 Speaker 9: the team, or maybe there were, but I think the 1029 00:46:21,880 --> 00:46:24,640 Speaker 9: money has a huge play in the situation. So now 1030 00:46:25,120 --> 00:46:30,720 Speaker 9: therefore you're kind of biting the laws of fundamentals whatever 1031 00:46:30,760 --> 00:46:31,320 Speaker 9: you want to. 1032 00:46:31,880 --> 00:46:34,200 Speaker 2: There's a different set of circumstances this year because you 1033 00:46:34,239 --> 00:46:35,239 Speaker 2: didn't do what you normally do. 1034 00:46:35,680 --> 00:46:40,680 Speaker 9: Sign exactly, you are now forced to some principles need 1035 00:46:40,719 --> 00:46:41,160 Speaker 9: to change. 1036 00:46:41,320 --> 00:46:43,600 Speaker 4: To your point, some core principles do that, and I. 1037 00:46:43,560 --> 00:46:46,880 Speaker 2: Guess that's the point you're making, is you aren't resigning 1038 00:46:46,920 --> 00:46:50,359 Speaker 2: your guys, so what is like. 1039 00:46:48,400 --> 00:46:52,520 Speaker 9: You than what you're used to. That's how I think 1040 00:46:52,680 --> 00:46:57,160 Speaker 9: the situation is because now as Brian listed everything that's 1041 00:46:57,239 --> 00:47:00,000 Speaker 9: going on with the coaching staff and everything that's happened, 1042 00:47:00,920 --> 00:47:04,160 Speaker 9: and the amount of pressure and even Jerry Jones he 1043 00:47:04,239 --> 00:47:07,080 Speaker 9: said him many many times how much he wants to win, 1044 00:47:07,400 --> 00:47:10,279 Speaker 9: and that's I think every year as the years go by, 1045 00:47:10,600 --> 00:47:13,839 Speaker 9: that just enhances even more and more and more. So 1046 00:47:13,840 --> 00:47:17,640 Speaker 9: it's at a point where, yes, obviously you have to 1047 00:47:17,719 --> 00:47:20,480 Speaker 9: drive for the future. I mean, you're bringing young guys. 1048 00:47:20,520 --> 00:47:24,480 Speaker 9: That's just the nature of living, and that's what happens. 1049 00:47:24,960 --> 00:47:27,279 Speaker 9: But at the same time, now are you looking at 1050 00:47:27,280 --> 00:47:30,880 Speaker 9: it a little slightly different because of the pressure and 1051 00:47:30,920 --> 00:47:33,280 Speaker 9: the high need that you have for this season. 1052 00:47:33,400 --> 00:47:35,919 Speaker 8: I will say that that some core principles need to change. 1053 00:47:36,040 --> 00:47:38,640 Speaker 8: It's a short example being when they tried to adopt 1054 00:47:38,680 --> 00:47:40,799 Speaker 8: the core principle of wide receiver by committee of blue 1055 00:47:40,880 --> 00:47:42,640 Speaker 8: in their face and that now you have a Marii Cooper. 1056 00:47:42,680 --> 00:47:44,920 Speaker 8: So certain things like that. Yes, you go into this 1057 00:47:44,960 --> 00:47:47,520 Speaker 8: offseason and you say, hey, these are what's happening. We 1058 00:47:47,560 --> 00:47:49,840 Speaker 8: can't continue to stick to this, this and this, But 1059 00:47:50,080 --> 00:47:52,040 Speaker 8: certain things just need to stay the same, which would 1060 00:47:52,040 --> 00:47:55,200 Speaker 8: be like valuing your center over your outside edge. 1061 00:47:55,239 --> 00:47:55,640 Speaker 4: Things like that. 1062 00:47:55,760 --> 00:47:58,200 Speaker 10: I think quickly, I think they evaluated their team into 1063 00:47:58,239 --> 00:48:00,680 Speaker 10: Steven Jones's point he didn't want to pay good money 1064 00:48:00,719 --> 00:48:03,600 Speaker 10: for mediocre players. I think that's why they let a 1065 00:48:03,600 --> 00:48:05,839 Speaker 10: lot of these guys walk. You know, they they made 1066 00:48:05,840 --> 00:48:08,880 Speaker 10: the determination. Maybe it wasn't free agency from the outside, 1067 00:48:09,239 --> 00:48:13,040 Speaker 10: but more like inside these players, Tyler, I'm sorry, you're 1068 00:48:13,080 --> 00:48:14,480 Speaker 10: not worth ten million dollars a year. 1069 00:48:15,440 --> 00:48:16,879 Speaker 2: I think they don't feel like there was a huge 1070 00:48:16,960 --> 00:48:19,000 Speaker 2: drop off from him to Hoffman for the money that you're. 1071 00:48:18,960 --> 00:48:19,920 Speaker 3: Sure that's the value. 1072 00:48:20,200 --> 00:48:25,280 Speaker 8: Yeah, from Sam for the money that. 1073 00:48:24,440 --> 00:48:26,359 Speaker 2: And you can argue that, but I think that's again 1074 00:48:26,440 --> 00:48:28,440 Speaker 2: it goes back to their core principle of not wanting 1075 00:48:28,440 --> 00:48:30,640 Speaker 2: to overpay and free agency even for their own guys, 1076 00:48:30,680 --> 00:48:32,759 Speaker 2: if they don't think those guys are necessarily worth the money. 1077 00:48:32,840 --> 00:48:35,040 Speaker 2: You know, he's going to get the last word because 1078 00:48:35,040 --> 00:48:40,080 Speaker 2: I did get the end the show. I appreciate you guys. 1079 00:48:40,760 --> 00:48:43,320 Speaker 9: People on social media, please vote who had the best 1080 00:48:43,560 --> 00:48:44,600 Speaker 9: the better debate here. 1081 00:48:44,880 --> 00:48:46,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, let's let's take. 1082 00:48:47,680 --> 00:48:48,600 Speaker 2: This is always fun. 1083 00:48:48,680 --> 00:48:51,880 Speaker 4: This is what we do, what we did against all right, 1084 00:48:53,640 --> 00:48:54,160 Speaker 4: ain't never scar. 1085 00:48:54,560 --> 00:48:57,040 Speaker 2: I appreciate you guys.
