Speaker 4: Here.
Speaker 6: We gotta Maharrison in the house sure here and the
Speaker 6: national champion he is Danny Cray, I knew.
Speaker 7: Don't run up, don't run up all whatever you run
Speaker 7: them camp, don't do it. It's crazy. We don't take
Speaker 7: it that seriously. You know, we got a different demographic
Speaker 7: out here. We don't see too much of that. And
Speaker 7: we got security that's crazy. Cam Newton videos what they're referencing. Hey, look,
Speaker 7: stop messing with them. West Atlanta boards, Cam Newton, Pacman Jones.
Speaker 7: They ready, they are ready, they are ready for you.
Speaker 7: But I'll never understand people that want to challenge former.
Speaker 2: Athletes in public to do it's just not smart that.
Speaker 6: And I tell you the other thing too. I grew
Speaker 6: up because my dad was in the military, grew up
Speaker 6: on a pope. I don't mess with nobody been in
Speaker 6: the army, especially people have been those units, rangers exactly.
Speaker 6: These are trained killers.
Speaker 4: I think they can handle themselves.
Speaker 6: Like you don't know. I don't care how. My dad's
Speaker 6: seventy years old. I don't know what he knows unless
Speaker 6: train killers.
Speaker 7: Man, and they don't quit. Nah, you's done. A win
Speaker 7: is not a win. You can't just do this. You
Speaker 7: know time. Hey man, I'm telling you what though.
Speaker 4: That hurt me. Man.
Speaker 7: I didn't like to see that, and I don't like
Speaker 7: to see when athletes like you guys go back to
Speaker 7: your respect. The neighborhoods are supporting the neighborhood being visible,
Speaker 7: giving athletes, young athletes an opportunity, and these are the
Speaker 7: environment that's being set now.
Speaker 4: I don't know the entire story.
Speaker 7: I don't know if Cam's out there handling those I
Speaker 7: don't know, But all I'm saying is it's not a
Speaker 7: good look when you have a guy of Cam's stature
Speaker 7: that is supporting the youth doing what he's doing, and
Speaker 7: it turns into that and I don't know what's happening, man,
Speaker 7: with youth athletics period where we're having events like this.
Speaker 7: I mean, we had something very tragic happening here a
Speaker 7: couple of years ago with a shooting on a pee
Speaker 7: wee league field. You know, it's just come on, now,
Speaker 7: you can't be taking this stuff this series. Man, it's
Speaker 7: crazy and it's not And you don't get guys like
Speaker 7: Barry Church and dannymccrat to come to your neighborhood and
Speaker 7: support your kids when you got.
Speaker 4: That kind of stuff.
Speaker 7: I think the main part that that's happening here is parents,
Speaker 7: who most of the time have been the issue. They
Speaker 7: just continue to forget that it is about the kids
Speaker 7: and the young folks right trying like if cam Newon
Speaker 7: decides he man, it's over right, So all the kids
Speaker 7: that paid to go out there, you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 7: to get whatever type of spotlight they wanted to get,
Speaker 7: whatever type of notoriety that they're trying to get to
Speaker 7: get to college, all of a sudden that's over with
Speaker 7: not a parent who is no longer your time to
Speaker 7: get recruited to have that opportunity. Now you're taking it.
Speaker 7: Now you're taking it away from the kid. And I
Speaker 7: think that's that is the biggest thing that's happened. Like
Speaker 7: parents are out of control. Like if I'm if I'm
Speaker 7: hosting something like that, I'm almost telling eight parents. You
Speaker 7: can't come and one coach per team, just one. You
Speaker 7: don't need your whole crew out there, because you see
Speaker 7: what happens. Dude, get get attacked by two three people
Speaker 7: right because they all they had attacked.
Speaker 4: I mean it looked like it looked like he was
Speaker 4: swatting flies for legal purposes. He got and that was
Speaker 4: what happened. And don't run up on nobody, man, Church here.
Speaker 6: When you're you're little and start playing, you'll you'll get
Speaker 6: a whole lot too.
Speaker 7: Man.
Speaker 6: I stand on another side of the field or sit
Speaker 6: somewhere across the gym away from people. I just do it, man,
Speaker 6: because I don't I don't say anything. I just don't
Speaker 6: want to hear people say anything.
Speaker 4: They get crazy like okay, I don't think.
Speaker 8: So w.
Speaker 4: You gotta be.
Speaker 5: Where we're going from here.
Speaker 4: Let's talk about the Cliff Cowboys. Your video, what you
Speaker 4: send that out to you real quick.
Speaker 6: Mike McCarthy, the head of the Cowboys and defensive coordinator
Speaker 6: Go Dragon, are not going to the Combine. So Sean
Speaker 6: McVay the Los Angeles rams Is also decided not to
Speaker 6: go to the Combine for a second straight year. Mike
Speaker 6: McCarthy saying with the new defensive changes, he can get
Speaker 6: more work done back at Star. So McCarthy not going deep,
Speaker 6: it's coordinator not going I'll go around the room, start
Speaker 6: with you, Burry Church, your thoughts.
Speaker 2: I understand it, to be honest with you. You know
Speaker 2: that there's a lot of hype behind the combine, and
Speaker 2: I get it. You get to see, you know, some
Speaker 2: of the measurables, the forty, the vert and all that
Speaker 2: good stuff.
Speaker 5: But what confuses me about the combine is.
Speaker 2: How do people move up and down draft boards by
Speaker 2: getting evaluated with T shirts and shorts on? Like when
Speaker 2: are you on the football field running a straight line
Speaker 2: for forty yards?
Speaker 8: Like that?
Speaker 2: To me, I understand the l drill and the short
Speaker 2: shuttle because that's that's quickness. You know, that's a slot receiver.
Speaker 2: They need to show how they can get in and
Speaker 2: out of breaks. And I get all that and maybe
Speaker 2: even the quarterbacks throwing, but there's no pass rush, there's
Speaker 2: no people in your way. You're not gonna see that
Speaker 2: International Football League. You're not gonna see that at all.
Speaker 2: So I understand some things about the combine.
Speaker 5: The interviews. You get to see these.
Speaker 4: Guys one on one.
Speaker 2: They really pick their brain and how you know, intelligent
Speaker 2: they are when it comes to understanding concepts as far
Speaker 2: as football is concerned.
Speaker 5: But when you talk about, you know, evaluating a player.
Speaker 2: I feel like you got to look at that tape
Speaker 2: and that's what I feel like McCarthy's doing. He's not
Speaker 2: gonna be, you know, at the combat, he's gonna be
Speaker 2: looking at tape, getting his defensive you know, crew all
Speaker 2: together and breaking down the people that he thinks can
Speaker 2: make this defense better. And I think that's the right
Speaker 2: path to go about it. When you go into this combine. Yeah,
Speaker 2: you may be able to see this guy. He's fast,
Speaker 2: he's but how many times have we seen a guy
Speaker 2: running four to two six and when he gets on
Speaker 2: a football field looks like he runs a four to
Speaker 2: seven or four to six. I mean, to me, there's
Speaker 2: too much hype involved with the combine, and I don't
Speaker 2: see how people move up and down leader boards or
Speaker 2: draft boards based on performing in shorts and T shirts
Speaker 2: when you're not.
Speaker 4: Gonna do that on the football field.
Speaker 7: There's too many mistakes that could be made when you
Speaker 7: go off of just what a guy does at the
Speaker 7: scouting combined and you don't do your due diligence and
Speaker 7: look at the tape. And I think Will McLay and
Speaker 7: his scouting department are definitely gonna do that. And for
Speaker 7: Mike McCarthy at this point, and man, he's it's sad
Speaker 7: to say, you know that he's coaching for his job.
Speaker 7: He's doing everything that he possibly can to not have
Speaker 7: that be to turn or interfere him from what he
Speaker 7: has to do because honestly, yeah, they have to fix this,
Speaker 7: this running game, They have to fix this, this running defense.
Speaker 7: They know what they have in front of them, and
Speaker 7: they're not gonna go off of you know how many
Speaker 7: Twitter followers a guy has a viral moment and him
Speaker 7: training and so many guys have moved up the leader
Speaker 7: board are being you know, drafted because of those intangibles
Speaker 7: that have nothing to do with playing on Sunday or
Speaker 7: playing you know, playing football. Most of the time, the most,
Speaker 7: the elite guys. They skipped the camp altogether anyway, so
Speaker 7: you're not gonna see any of them. And I think
Speaker 7: for the scouting department, especially when you're talking about that
Speaker 7: that three through seven mix, you want to get an
Speaker 7: opportunity to touch these guys, see them, see him in
Speaker 7: the classroom, understand who they are. Because you're only looking
Speaker 7: at the product on the field. You don't know if
Speaker 7: this guy's a knucklehead or what he is, you know,
Speaker 7: So look, I agree with you. It's for the most part,
Speaker 7: the combine, it's just about being able to see these
Speaker 7: athletes and not so much the numbers itself.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think one. I don't think it's for everybody.
Speaker 7: I think it's for maybe like third round and under
Speaker 7: like guys who guys who you may have watched the
Speaker 7: film you and you don't really get a feeling of
Speaker 7: how fast he is, and you may think he's a
Speaker 7: four to seven, but then you get out there and
Speaker 7: run a four four you're like, oh, that's that's the guy.
Speaker 7: But there's a group of guys who probably it doesn't
Speaker 7: help them as much the guy who you already expect
Speaker 7: to run a four to two, who can only go
Speaker 7: out there and run a four to four and then
Speaker 7: all of a sudden, you like, he not as fast
Speaker 7: as he was, So I think it's more of a
Speaker 7: meet and Greek type of thing. I think the most
Speaker 7: important part is those interviews and those questions where you're
Speaker 7: trying to get a feel for what type of person
Speaker 7: this guy is, Especially the first round guys who you're
Speaker 7: going to spend a lot of money on. You want
Speaker 7: to know, like, hey, in a room, do I get
Speaker 7: a good vibe from this person right based off whatever
Speaker 7: question I'm gonna ask him? And sometimes I do think
Speaker 7: it gets a little outlandish with some of the questions
Speaker 7: that we hear.
Speaker 4: Come out of the combine.
Speaker 7: But it's like as far as like the straightforward questions
Speaker 7: where you're trying to figure out who this person is,
Speaker 7: get a chance to talk to him, pull him to
Speaker 7: the side, figure out like what drives and what type
Speaker 7: of family life, all that type of stuff. I think
Speaker 7: that's very important. But the performerst thing is, you know,
Speaker 7: they got prodain, got filmed, we got a whole bunch
Speaker 7: of other stuff that you If a guy goes out
Speaker 7: there and run a four to seven, he's likely going
Speaker 7: to go to protein and run a four four.
Speaker 4: That's just the thing.
Speaker 6: So Mike McCarthy will participate by zooma, you know, so
Speaker 6: he'll he'll he'll be able to be a part of
Speaker 6: the interviews when they when they bring in prospects. But
Speaker 6: he's just not you know, he's just not going up there.
Speaker 6: And I agree with what everyone is saying here about these.
Speaker 6: If you're a and will McClay one of the best
Speaker 6: in the National Football League, I think it's a piece
Speaker 6: of the puzzle. That's all it's. I think that's all
Speaker 6: it's ever supposed to have been. Here's a little bit
Speaker 6: of piece of the puzzle, and this is just one
Speaker 6: more thing we get to kind of look at. But
Speaker 6: I do believe the media aspect of what this is
Speaker 6: now for those that want to make the NFL a
Speaker 6: twenty four to seven business. And we've got more folks
Speaker 6: than ever in the media now who are aggregating stories.
Speaker 6: So you got to have something to talk about, something
Speaker 6: to write about, Oh so and so now moving up here,
Speaker 6: or when Byron Jones.
Speaker 2: Who played with the Cowboys, when he had that incredible
Speaker 2: combine and people that moved him up it was something
Speaker 2: to write about.
Speaker 6: Hey, let's look at this guy from Ukony shooting up
Speaker 6: draft wards. This is the stuff that people who love
Speaker 6: the NFL right now, they consume it because there's nothing
Speaker 6: else to consume, and we're watching NFL. Get up football,
Speaker 6: Good morning football, the whole thing right now. How harsh
Speaker 6: will the forty nine has hangover beat, Let me gave
Speaker 6: me we play Superpow We over this. This is their
Speaker 6: lead segment. But this is what it is right now.
Speaker 6: People are desperate. So it's talking about the combine, it's
Speaker 6: talking about free agency, so by the salary cap with
Speaker 6: up it's not real football.
Speaker 2: And so that's how we find ourselves in the weeks
Speaker 2: because we're not talking about, oh he's strong.
Speaker 4: Do you see that.
Speaker 5: Strong light bull? I don't know how much just affected
Speaker 5: the draft board, but look at C. J.
Speaker 2: Strong was at last year when they said, oh man,
Speaker 2: he had one of the worst test scores or whatever
Speaker 2: it is, the want to look whatever he can't understand,
Speaker 2: and he goes out there it has one of the
Speaker 2: best rookie seasons there is. I Bettion to Carolina Panthers
Speaker 2: would have been like, man, was we to talk Tod Trup.
Speaker 2: It's just you know, things like that it's just like, man,
Speaker 2: what you know terrible?
Speaker 6: One to look at school?
Speaker 4: Terrible?
Speaker 6: But anybody turning you got too young? But somebody turned
Speaker 6: on the tape from Pitt dude through lasers? What do
Speaker 6: you go to the NFL do through lasers? Bottom, it's
Speaker 6: supposed all of this, in my opinion, it's supposed to
Speaker 6: be at peace. And like any amounts of information you get,
Speaker 6: just like if you're studying for tepe, you get all
Speaker 6: this information, you go and find the stuff that you
Speaker 6: feel is important. What this is, what I think will help,
Speaker 6: and then you take the other stuff and you throw
Speaker 6: it out. That's how you make decisions.
Speaker 2: You're gonna get all this information, especially now analytically we
Speaker 2: got so much stuff, but we could look at the
Speaker 2: all right.
Speaker 6: So Bill Walsh had a great grading system. You had
Speaker 6: to run a certain number for him or you could
Speaker 6: not be a receiver in the San Francisco forty nine
Speaker 6: ers that was his organ. You had to be a
Speaker 6: certain height and you five seven five eight. Then you
Speaker 6: couldn't play for him. He wanted to have receivers. It
Speaker 6: was you had to run a certain forty And I
Speaker 6: think there's nothing wrong with that. Is you're developing what
Speaker 6: type of team you want.
Speaker 7: But Bill Watsh was smart enough to go to Mississippi
Speaker 7: Valley State and see a guy running four nine and
Speaker 7: say that's all right, we'll take it sometimes, and I
Speaker 7: think it's not a one size fits all And that's
Speaker 7: why I think film study is so important, and when
Speaker 7: we talk about the combine and analytics, how it plays
Speaker 7: into it now, just specifically the cowboys, they can't get
Speaker 7: caught up in that.
Speaker 8: Man.
Speaker 7: They have to find guys that, especially in this draft,
Speaker 7: that can hit the ground running straight off the bus. Dude,
Speaker 7: you know he coming right now. We know he's going
Speaker 7: to be a Day one guy. And those are the
Speaker 7: hardest guys to pick. I think when you're especially looking
Speaker 7: at the guys out of the.
Speaker 4: Color, we know.
Speaker 7: I would say this, I don't mind. I'm not going
Speaker 7: to not being there. I know how to answer the question.
Speaker 7: I think him and Zimmer do need to get on
Speaker 7: the same page about how there because that's a big
Speaker 7: change going from Quinn to Zimmer and figuring out the
Speaker 7: culture and to know this is how things go when
Speaker 7: these this player thinks this way, this is how he
Speaker 7: reacts or whatever. I think that you can get a
Speaker 7: lot of good information from them spending this time together
Speaker 7: versus being out there at the combine.
Speaker 6: Let's let's kind of go around the room and talk
Speaker 6: about that. So what we've seen from a guy like
Speaker 6: Zimmer through that he likes bigger defensive tackles, and then
Speaker 6: when it comes to linebackers, he places a bigger emphasis
Speaker 6: on linebackers, I think, much more so than what d
Speaker 6: you had here.
Speaker 2: The kind of linebackers that he Kean O'Neill is not
Speaker 2: a guy that that Zimmer has been using in the past.
Speaker 6: So I think that's a very important thing. You talk
Speaker 6: about Barrieus and Danny and and let's get Heckman here and.
Speaker 4: Start with you.
Speaker 6: What do you think happens at the linebacker spot? Because
Speaker 6: I just think, right off the top of my head,
Speaker 6: when I think about Zimmer between Dallas and Cincinnati and Minnesota,
Speaker 6: the linebackers he used a little bit different than what
Speaker 6: we saw.
Speaker 4: F Zim, I'm looking at that.
Speaker 7: I look no further than that Buffalo game if I'm
Speaker 7: talking about the linebackers, if I'm basing anything, I'm looking
Speaker 7: at what happened.
Speaker 4: In that Buffalo game and the way that they were
Speaker 4: able to run the ball and.
Speaker 7: How we saw some of our linebackers getting drugged down
Speaker 7: the field, and we need We can't go with the
Speaker 7: hybrid approach. We need a guy that is a true
Speaker 7: four to three linebacker or a true three four linebacker.
Speaker 7: Guys that can be in the middle of the field.
Speaker 7: Guys that can rotate also and go maybe able to
Speaker 7: the wheel. Are the sam depending on how he's gonna
Speaker 7: use Micah, but yeah, he's gonna go with a bigger
Speaker 7: He's gonna go with a bigger guy. I think Eric
Speaker 7: Kendrick set that played for the Vikings Man one of
Speaker 7: my favorite linebackers was a dog. Maybe not as tall
Speaker 7: as you is you would like for your linebacker, but
Speaker 7: Stout two forty four something like that, but a guy
Speaker 7: that was a dog against the run, a guy that
Speaker 7: didn't give give any space. All we need right now
Speaker 7: is guys that are coming downhill, guys that are filling
Speaker 7: those gaps. We needed dtackles when you talk about bigger
Speaker 7: defensive tackles, guys that can hold their own and not
Speaker 7: allow those tight ends and those tackles to shit and
Speaker 7: get downhill on our defense, which we saw that a lot,
Speaker 7: and that that just pretty much nullified mark guys like
Speaker 7: Marquise Bell that was playing out of position already once
Speaker 7: offensive coordinators kind of figured out what dan Quinn.
Speaker 4: Wanted to do.
Speaker 2: Yet, when I think about Zimmer and his type of defenses,
Speaker 2: you look at, you know, like a guy like Anthony
Speaker 2: Barr when he was in his hey, big old linebacker
Speaker 2: in the middle, just kind of being able to handle
Speaker 2: those offensive lineen that may kind of sneak up to him.
Speaker 2: You look at a guy like Linval Joseph, those defensive
Speaker 2: tackles he had over there in Minnesota, And to me,
Speaker 2: I don't think you'll see like in quinn system, you
Speaker 2: see in a lot of three safeties. You've seen a
Speaker 2: lot of packages where you know they had two safeties
Speaker 2: hooker don't and then you had Curse, you know, patrolling
Speaker 2: the box.
Speaker 5: I don't think you'll see a lot of that, you know.
Speaker 2: I think you'll see two traditional safeties and they'll have
Speaker 2: those athletic linebackers that are bigger body that can handle
Speaker 2: the run but also be productive in past coverage as well.
Speaker 5: I think, you know, Bell is outstanding.
Speaker 2: When you talk about a guy third down coverage, maybe
Speaker 2: he needs to cover one of those running backs or
Speaker 2: cover those tight ends. I think that's the perfect role
Speaker 2: for him, coming in on third down, coming in on
Speaker 2: passing type situations, but an everyday, first second down type
Speaker 2: of back. I just don't see that because you're caught
Speaker 2: up to us in the playoffs when they figured he
Speaker 2: was going to be in there.
Speaker 5: We're going to run straight at this guy, and it
Speaker 5: caught up to the Coweys at the worst situation.
Speaker 2: So to me, you have the pieces that you can
Speaker 2: kind of plug and play with as far as Zimmer
Speaker 2: is concerned, but you got to get those mainstay pieces
Speaker 2: that'll be their first, second, and third down to handle
Speaker 2: that run situation.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 7: I think the biggest thing that Zimmer's going to have
Speaker 7: to focus on us as a Cowboys organization is depth
Speaker 7: at the linebacker spot, because I think that's what got
Speaker 7: us last season. I think you go into it and
Speaker 7: you're looking at the off season. You're saying, Okay, Vanderish
Speaker 7: is coming back, you got Overshaun, You're looking at Clark,
Speaker 7: and that's what you're looking at going into the season,
Speaker 7: and then you lose Overshan, and then you lose Vanderush
Speaker 7: and now instead of being able to bring guys in
Speaker 7: which they did try to. You have to, you know,
Speaker 7: go with a guy like Marquie's Bell. So I think
Speaker 7: having that depth, knowing that you do have those two
Speaker 7: of those guys coming back with the Clark and the Overshan.
Speaker 7: Hopefully Overshaun comes back off the injury healthy.
Speaker 4: And ready to go.
Speaker 7: But that depth at that linebacker position that wants to
Speaker 7: help Zimmer play the type of defense that he wants
Speaker 7: to play, is going to be really important. And that's
Speaker 7: why free agency and that's why it's free agency is
Speaker 7: they have to make a market.
Speaker 4: Free agency.
Speaker 6: There's I said, they say they're going all in when
Speaker 6: we come back. What does going all in mean to everyone?
Speaker 6: What does that mean to you? And what do you
Speaker 6: want to see? Will dive into that next right other players.

Speaker 2: I gotta see it, yeah man, you know that's that's
Speaker 2: that's easy to say. And until he explains what all
Speaker 2: in means to him, I don't know.
Speaker 6: I don't know. All In could be Hey, we we
Speaker 6: resigned Dak Prescott, we we got we got c. D.
Speaker 6: Lamb And here's Tyren smith Man. You know that in
Speaker 6: his mind that could be all into him. I think
Speaker 6: all In to other people is we see free agents.
Speaker 6: When you see big draft hall, you need to see
Speaker 6: some key players resigned. I mean, it's every earththing.
Speaker 7: So you said he possibly went all in last year.
Speaker 7: He because we did Brandon Cooks, we.
Speaker 5: Got Gilmore Martin, Like you know, Tyring was bag.
Speaker 7: We tp got in you know, healthy coming up. So
Speaker 7: you're saying that that could possibly be what all In is.
Speaker 4: That's what drafted a defensive tackle in the first round.
Speaker 2: You know this this is gonna be the beauty of
Speaker 2: what what do we hear from him at the combine?
Speaker 2: And Steven, what does that mean? And I need to
Speaker 2: know what does it mean?
Speaker 4: Can we just say that it's levels to all In?
Speaker 4: This levels to it all right?
Speaker 7: And our m O on all In has been getting
Speaker 7: guys that have been stars in the NFL that kind
Speaker 7: of not past that prime.
Speaker 4: But yeah, past that Okay, we hadn't seen anything.
Speaker 7: We're gonna trade the first round draft pick to go
Speaker 7: get this guy, and I won't mention anybody. Cooper, Yeah
Speaker 7: you did, and I think that was that that wasn't
Speaker 7: the beginning of the season. No, ya, So we're going
Speaker 7: into the season, you would like I'm going all in.
Speaker 7: They was like, hold on, they went in there like
Speaker 7: our guy. Yeah, so like starting the season off. I
Speaker 7: don't think we've seen that, like.
Speaker 6: Our guy Chase got him playing with bricks.
Speaker 2: I just don't see them going and making these huge
Speaker 2: splashes in free agency. I mean, when's the last time
Speaker 2: they had like a huge splashes that we would consider
Speaker 2: a huge splash, you know, beat hard. Maybe when they
Speaker 2: went out and got he was the you know, yeah,
Speaker 2: he was like the number one corner coming out and
Speaker 2: you know that was you know, that was a huge
Speaker 2: splash deal.
Speaker 5: But when's the last time you know that's true?
Speaker 6: But he said, yeah, hips in the middle, all chips
Speaker 6: in the middle. What does that mean for you?
Speaker 4: What you mean.
Speaker 7: The defensive end? I can't remember his name, maybe like
Speaker 7: twenty great party. No, no, no, no, not well, I
Speaker 7: mean you assume that at that point that that was
Speaker 7: gonna be a good one. He came in and had
Speaker 7: like ten eleven Smith Robert Quinn. Robert Robert Quinn came in.
Speaker 7: He did play well, he didn't play. I don't know
Speaker 7: that's all in. But I mean when you go, they
Speaker 7: went to Fridge and they got a guy.
Speaker 5: He he performed, he played well.
Speaker 6: So what I mean really round up?
Speaker 4: Okay, all star started.
Speaker 6: Okay, what it means to me, uh, go get somebody
Speaker 6: that can play and get defensive tackle, a difference making
Speaker 6: defensive tackle if one becomes available, because easily somebody could
Speaker 6: slap franchise tags. Okay, so, but but I need to
Speaker 6: see somebody right up front because I'm not going to
Speaker 6: sit around here and trust Mazzie Smith just not gonna
Speaker 6: do it. And then with Osa Diggy Zua, good player.
Speaker 6: But what we're seeing from Mike Zimmer in the past,
Speaker 6: he likes a bigger guy. So they need to get
Speaker 6: a bigger guy. So de tackle linebacker we just talked about.
Speaker 6: We know Zimmer likes bigger guys. You don't have that
Speaker 6: currently right now. With all due respect to Layton vander Rash,
Speaker 6: if Layton vander Rush does not play another snap of
Speaker 6: the National Football League, It'll be fine by me because
Speaker 6: I'm more concerned about this man's health.
Speaker 4: He just had a daughter.
Speaker 6: You guys all understand and know him seeing how these things,
Speaker 6: how people's bodies go over time, and and heckman, you've
Speaker 6: had a front row seat to see the greatest football
Speaker 6: players in NFL history because of your uncle, and seen
Speaker 6: how they have grown over time, and you've seen what
Speaker 6: happens in their bodies. Okay, nobody leaves this game without
Speaker 6: some injuries here, so that's why I would look to
Speaker 6: replace Laton Vanderresh. But linebacker spot all into me means
Speaker 6: you need to figure out your center position. I don't
Speaker 6: say anything negative about Tyler Biadish as a player, but
Speaker 6: he's a free agent. And Tyler be Hoondis is like
Speaker 6: any cowboy here. Anybody becomes a free agent. You want
Speaker 6: to get paid your maximum dollars. He's had a good
Speaker 6: career here, Pro Bowl. But when you start looking at
Speaker 6: the amount of dollars that you're gonna have to spend,
Speaker 6: I would think the Cowboys would be better served to
Speaker 6: go and find his replacement via free agency or most
Speaker 6: likely draft.
Speaker 2: And then I need to see the running game get better.
Speaker 2: Mike McCarthy would like Tony Pollard back. If you want
Speaker 2: Tony Pollard back, fine, find me who else who's going
Speaker 2: to go along with Tony Pollard. It has to be
Speaker 2: a tandem. You need a bigger guy, somebody that can
Speaker 2: bunch it in for five yards. To me, that's all it. Yeah,
Speaker 2: And I'm with you on that new as far as
Speaker 2: you know, being all in to me, being all it means,
Speaker 2: you know, not running it back with the same crew
Speaker 2: like you have just won a super Bowl. You know
Speaker 2: those guys who won the super Bowl, Hey, let's run
Speaker 2: it back. We're gonna do it again. You know, you
Speaker 2: didn't have success in the playoffs with the same crew.
Speaker 2: And I'm not talking about, you know, churning the bottom
Speaker 2: of the roster. We see that all the time, you know,
Speaker 2: getting new piece at the bottom. I'm talking about at
Speaker 2: the core, at the core, switching some things up, you know,
Speaker 2: relying on the same crew that hasn't been as productive
Speaker 2: as we may want him to have been, you know,
Speaker 2: these past couple of seasons.
Speaker 5: Maybe there needs to be a change.
Speaker 2: And if, like you said, if you want Tony poly back,
Speaker 2: that's great, but we understand he's great at that number
Speaker 2: two row. Bring in somebody that can benumber one, that
Speaker 2: guy that can pound the defense and open things up
Speaker 2: for Tony Pollard.
Speaker 5: I want a guy on in the middle of the defense.
Speaker 2: Like a big nball Joseph type guy that can eat
Speaker 2: up the gaps, not necessarily get pressure on the quarterback,
Speaker 2: but keep these offensive linemen off your second level, like
Speaker 2: a linebacker that you don't have to take off the
Speaker 2: field no matter what the situation is, whether it's first
Speaker 2: and second down running or it's a third down passing
Speaker 2: coverage situation. And I understand those things cost bread and
Speaker 2: that's cast bait, and I understand all that, But when
Speaker 2: it's talking about all in, I just to me, running
Speaker 2: it back with the same crew and expecting different results,
Speaker 2: it's kind of like the definition of insanity. And I
Speaker 2: just want to see, you know, changes changes be made
Speaker 2: to hopefully get this team over the hump. Is it
Speaker 2: guaranteed that they will get over the hump making these changes, No,
Speaker 2: But what's also kind of guaranteed is running it back
Speaker 2: with the same type of crew and expecting different changes.
Speaker 5: That's just not gonna happen.
Speaker 2: No.
Speaker 7: And I agree with both takes, and I think that
Speaker 7: for me, it's you don't have the same cliche. We're
Speaker 7: just one guy way. No, you're several guys away, and
Speaker 7: it's several guys away at key spots that you really
Speaker 7: underestimated playing with smaller sized linebackers.
Speaker 4: And that's why that's important.
Speaker 7: You're also underestimated trying to flex defensive linemen and you
Speaker 7: got blindsided by that. Look to me, the two positions
Speaker 7: that I'm looking at specifically offensively, and I'm thinking only
Speaker 7: of the Green Bay game, is the running back position
Speaker 7: and a wide receiver. I'm just saying the second wide receiver.
Speaker 7: You need another playmaker at the wide receiver spot. You
Speaker 7: need a guy that can be that possession receiver for
Speaker 7: you're not a contact the top off and all that
Speaker 7: oh crazy stuff. I need a guy that when it's
Speaker 7: third and seven, I can run a slant, I can
Speaker 7: run something.
Speaker 4: I know you can catch the ball. It's yards after
Speaker 4: to catch.
Speaker 7: You look at the you look at teams all around
Speaker 7: the NFL that have more than just one wide receiver
Speaker 7: one guy.
Speaker 4: Okay, running back wise, you can go back through.
Speaker 7: The season and see that if we had a power back,
Speaker 7: that would have been the difference in that Miami game.
Speaker 7: If we had a power back, and when green Bay
Speaker 7: is running off, if we can run the ball, slow
Speaker 7: it down, make them, you know, make them wait to
Speaker 7: get the ball back, because that's going every time they
Speaker 7: get the ball. But we didn't have that. We're still
Speaker 7: having to trying to you know, get things over in
Speaker 7: the air. Look, going all in to me is man,
Speaker 7: making sure your salary cap is healthy. Get guys re
Speaker 7: signed that you you know that you're definitely gonna need.
Speaker 7: But bring in the key pieces. Don't fool yourself again
Speaker 7: into thinking that, oh we can go with this same
Speaker 7: running back group and then, like you said, by definition
Speaker 7: of insanity, think that that's gonna work this year, because
Speaker 7: it's not. That's you know, like I appreciate all y'all's takes. Okay,
Speaker 7: ball in to me is what I saw the Rams
Speaker 7: do a few years ago.
Speaker 4: Like that is that is all in?
Speaker 7: Hey man, what were pushing all our chips in the
Speaker 7: table right now? We're not really worried about how it's
Speaker 7: going to play out for us over the next couple
Speaker 7: of years, because it's worth going to the super Bowl
Speaker 7: and winning one.
Speaker 4: To me, that is all in. So they were.
Speaker 7: Trading first round draft picks, they bringing in Jalen Rams, whoever.
Speaker 7: It is like they were doing a bunch of stuff
Speaker 7: that you looked at that team and you said, oh yeah,
Speaker 7: they waging it all right now, like you could see it.
Speaker 7: And I think that's what all in me did. I
Speaker 7: think we need to do that. I know it makes
Speaker 7: me a little nervous to do such a thing, but
Speaker 7: I think for me, it starts with all in. You know,
Speaker 7: your defensive line is an issue. You're into your defensive line.
Speaker 7: It's been that way for a while. You I think
Speaker 7: you should make a big splash at that position, linebacker,
Speaker 7: same thing.
Speaker 5: And that's uh. And this ain't all on on what's
Speaker 5: his name, Hankins, It ain't all over him.
Speaker 4: And not saying it is.
Speaker 2: But once again, when I talk about bringing the same
Speaker 2: crew back, you know, as soon as a man we
Speaker 2: gotta sign him back. He's got to be, you know,
Speaker 2: one of our number one part. I mean, this is
Speaker 2: the same man that he was a part of this
Speaker 2: defense that was giving up two hundred, you know, sixty
Speaker 2: sixty yards on the ground. Like I'm not saying it's
Speaker 2: all on him as far as you know the run,
Speaker 2: but he was there. But he was there, and we're
Speaker 2: acting like, man, we got beating the table to bring
Speaker 2: you know, a guy back like that.
Speaker 6: Now, I'll go at this level about Hankins. I think
Speaker 6: he's a player who can help you and and and
Speaker 6: be a part of a team that can do something.
Speaker 6: Just playing him too much at his age, you're playing
Speaker 6: too much. I think he'd be a part of rotation.
Speaker 6: But you out here leaning on this dude like, hey,
Speaker 6: we need no no, that's that's that's not it. But
Speaker 6: if you brought another big inn in here and he's
Speaker 6: on that, okay, that's fine, and then maybe maybe our
Speaker 6: boy nevill Gallimore is that there. You know, but that's
Speaker 6: what I'm thinking. They're a role for hank True, I
Speaker 6: think there's a role, but the starting role you being
Speaker 6: that guy were leaning on all you bigger na.
Speaker 7: But that's why, that's why you that's why you draft Mazie,
Speaker 7: that's why you drafted and you expect for him to
Speaker 7: be in that rotation.
Speaker 4: It's just what you know. You have to you have
Speaker 4: to rely on him.
Speaker 5: Because something.
Speaker 7: His role, Hankins roll should be when you are playing
Speaker 7: against a team like Green Bay or one of those
Speaker 7: teams who comes in and they say we are going
Speaker 7: to establish the run on you. That's when you say,
Speaker 7: you know, a big fellas. You got by eighty percent
Speaker 7: of the snaps, all right, and then we also just
Speaker 7: got brought another guy in who can also handle eighty
Speaker 7: percent of those snaps or less. Because y'all showed that
Speaker 7: y'all can stop the runner. Now they have to go
Speaker 7: to another go to another dynamic of their offense. But
Speaker 7: I think you have to, like, you need to make
Speaker 7: a big splash there. It is one glaring weakness that
Speaker 7: has been here years for three years, like it.
Speaker 2: Ain't going on everybody that and then you go in
Speaker 2: the playoffs, they oh, go right there to run through them.
Speaker 4: So yep, so you need to do it.
Speaker 7: And then linebacker, like I think the big two splashes
Speaker 7: that you need to make to be successful or defensive
Speaker 7: line and linebacker.
Speaker 4: Can you make it through with Tony Poler? I think
Speaker 4: you can.
Speaker 7: I think you can make it through with Tony Poller.
Speaker 7: Can you make it through with the center? I know
Speaker 7: cap and all that, I'm not I'm just talking about
Speaker 7: the player. I think you can make it through with that.
Speaker 7: I don't think you can make it through a season
Speaker 7: with the defensive line. INTI your defensive line you have
Speaker 7: right now in the linebacker.
Speaker 6: Dress Okay, let's get a break in here. A move

Speaker 4: What said you called cliffs?
Speaker 6: Yeah, comes up there? Not the dragon. I think they
Speaker 6: would trademark that thing.
Speaker 4: Dragon thing.
Speaker 6: Were all right playing slaunch box by Casinos Church Heck Mayor.
Speaker 6: So we're talking about the Cowboys and all in. Every
Speaker 6: year your team must change. There will be there will
Speaker 6: be some additions and subtractions, and the team is going
Speaker 6: to come down and start to say, hey, salary cap number. Yes,
Speaker 6: we we want to make we want to make something,
Speaker 6: make something go away. Michael Gallup, we've talked about it
Speaker 6: right here on the players lounge, a wide receiver that
Speaker 6: they paid a couple of years ago despite having the
Speaker 6: torn a cl and they moved on from Amari Cooper.
Speaker 6: He's not been that player that they thought he was
Speaker 6: going to be, and Brandon Cooks came in securely became
Speaker 6: the number two wide receiver for the team. So now
Speaker 6: you're paying Michael Gallup a thirteen million dollar range to
Speaker 6: be a number three wide receiver. And then you've drafted
Speaker 6: Jail and told what a third round guy now going
Speaker 6: to his third season. Last year, he drastically improved from
Speaker 6: his rookie year. So nationally, the stories are all picking
Speaker 6: up as they're starting to figure out saying, well, who's
Speaker 6: somebody that you could go ahead and move on from
Speaker 6: and get their money to put towards Dak Prescott's te
Speaker 6: Lamb and wherever other need you have. Michael Gallup's the guy.
Speaker 6: We spoke about it on this show before here. I
Speaker 6: just don't see how you bring Michael Gallup back. And
Speaker 6: I mean it from the standpoint of return on investment.
Speaker 6: It's too much money for a guy that's not a
Speaker 6: number two wide receiver. I don't care what team you are,
Speaker 6: nobody's going to pay that. So I'm not be surprised
Speaker 6: that if they move on from Michael Gallap.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 7: I mean listen, when you look at going all in,
Speaker 7: all right, and you start again listing players who, hey,
Speaker 7: can we can we be successful without this person? Based
Speaker 7: off what happened last year? I think Michael Gallup is
Speaker 7: one of those guys. He made some big catches and
Speaker 7: some big moments. But as far as being consistent over
Speaker 7: the year and looking at a guy, you say, does
Speaker 7: this constitute going all in by not using that money
Speaker 7: to go get another player?
Speaker 4: Who we said maybe defensive line of linebacker.
Speaker 7: I don't think that constitutes all in so I can
Speaker 7: see why that conversation is catching some steam. I love
Speaker 7: the return on investment because you didn't get it all right,
Speaker 7: and the jury sidelined all of that. And man, my,
Speaker 7: I just look, give me an appreciation for give appreciation
Speaker 7: for Michael Gallat and what he did coming out of
Speaker 7: Colorado State.
Speaker 4: I believe where he was.
Speaker 7: Drafted, he exceeded expectations. He came in and he balled out.
Speaker 7: Him and Mamari Cooper were two thousand yard receivers that
Speaker 7: you had in the end the season. And then after that,
Speaker 7: you know, he didn't give you the production that you
Speaker 7: would have liked over the last couple of years. And
Speaker 7: you can't pay a guy that much, as you stated,
Speaker 7: especially when those funds can be allocated towards other positions.
Speaker 7: So that's why I was talking about free agency and saying, look,
Speaker 7: you gotta get a guy when you When it got
Speaker 7: to the point that defense has figured out the way
Speaker 7: that Mike McCarthy wanted to use Brandon cuts, they shut
Speaker 7: that down when they understood what were the best routes
Speaker 7: for Ceedee Lamb they shut that down. You didn't have
Speaker 7: another piece beside your tight end. And then and again,
Speaker 7: how easy is that to cover when you can get it?
Speaker 7: Put a nickel on that. We just he was not
Speaker 7: able to win his individual matchup, and that's why you say, look,
Speaker 7: we've got to get a guy to come in here.
Speaker 7: I don't know what Jaialen Tolbert is at. I don't
Speaker 7: in three years, I don't think we figured that out yet.
Speaker 7: I don't think we have a definitive answer if we
Speaker 7: think that he can be that play making guy. And
Speaker 7: because there's still a question mark over that, I don't
Speaker 7: feel comfortable with going into this season with him as
Speaker 7: being my third option in this office.
Speaker 2: And you guys are right about that when you look
Speaker 2: at it, because last year, if you really break it down,
Speaker 2: you know it was Ceedee, Lamb, Cooks, ferguson the tight end,
Speaker 2: you know, and Tolberding and Gallup were like right there.
Speaker 2: So he's really kind of a fourth or fifth option,
Speaker 2: meaning that he's going against probably the worst corner on
Speaker 2: the opposite you know team you're guarding them, and he
Speaker 2: wasn't able to win those one on one battles consistently. Yeah,
Speaker 2: he had, you know, those deep balls with fifty to
Speaker 2: fifty balls every now and then. He was able to
Speaker 2: bring him in. But to get that type of money,
Speaker 2: And we always talk about it, once you get the bag,
Speaker 2: the expectations of your play, you know, they rise and
Speaker 2: you should be able to go out there and dominate
Speaker 2: your one on one opportunities. And he just was and
Speaker 2: able to do that, whether it was you know, getting separation,
Speaker 2: whatever the case may be, Jack not trusting him with
Speaker 2: the rock, whatever the case may be, he wasn't able
Speaker 2: to perform on that note.
Speaker 5: That he's carrying with the Dallas Cowboys.
Speaker 2: So when you talk about you know, cap casualties and
Speaker 2: guys that are going to get maybe get released because
Speaker 2: their cap hit is too high, I feel like Gallop,
Speaker 2: you know, falls in that range.
Speaker 7: Is it fair to say when you're making that amount
Speaker 7: of money that nobody should be mentioning other receivers being
Speaker 7: into three or four, Like you shouldn't be talking about turping,
Speaker 7: you shouldn't be talking about Tober. You should be like, hey,
Speaker 7: we need to find a way to get this guy
Speaker 7: more looks versus the opposite. So but once again shout
Speaker 7: out to Michael Gallup. He the injury. The injury was
Speaker 7: a setback, and sometimes it just doesn't work out when
Speaker 7: you come up with an injury. I still think he's
Speaker 7: a good player, but when you talk about the amount
Speaker 7: of money that you would have to spend to keep
Speaker 7: him on the roster, I think that's that's the question
Speaker 7: that comes.
Speaker 6: I could see the Cowboys moving on from Michael Galloping
Speaker 6: and going to another team at a lower price and
Speaker 6: having a real good year and being a good football player.
Speaker 6: I just totally disagreed with how they went about it
Speaker 6: from the standpoint of I remember sitting in the press
Speaker 6: box and won name these two media people we spent
Speaker 6: the whole season argued about Cooper and Gallup, like who
Speaker 6: would be back next year? And they were all about Gallup.
Speaker 6: I'm like, no, Cooper. Cooper has been a one. Cooper
Speaker 6: saved the season when they got the gap. The problem
Speaker 6: with Cooper was they didn't immediately sign him to a
Speaker 6: deal when they traded for it, and then they let
Speaker 6: him get to free agency and you had to pay
Speaker 6: that crazy number. They should have take care of that
Speaker 6: business before. And obviously we know it got a little personal,
Speaker 6: but why would I give a guy who just had
Speaker 6: an acl in January, all that money and then well,
Speaker 6: you know he's not gonna be that guy in year one.
Speaker 2: I I just thought I never got it. I never
Speaker 2: ever got it, and so you move on from him.
Speaker 2: I understand Tolbert because Tolbert time proof of consistency. He
Speaker 2: has not shown us that he could be trusted.
Speaker 6: But I think this is also the part where you
Speaker 6: as a football team say to yourself, Okay, if I've
Speaker 6: got Lamback, I've got Cooks, I've got then you could
Speaker 6: look to the draft, or you could look to find
Speaker 6: who's another receiver for whatever reason, is out there free
Speaker 6: agency that we think we can plug in here and
Speaker 6: they could fit and be a part of the process
Speaker 6: at a good price. That's going back and trying to
Speaker 6: figure out how you know, Bill Belichick with Tom Brady
Speaker 6: was very good at figuring out out who was Brandon LaFell,
Speaker 6: Chris Hogan, Danny Amandola, you know all throughout that tenure.
Speaker 6: And obviously Tom made a lot of them dudes look good,
Speaker 6: but they found people who could can you fit into
Speaker 6: our system and do what we do? This is where
Speaker 6: I would go to a guy like Schottenheimer, who is
Speaker 6: it that you know because Seattle through the years could
Speaker 6: find some guys. They've got three elite guys now that
Speaker 6: I really like, but they could find some guys that
Speaker 6: could work with Russell during that time. And I think
Speaker 6: that's the that's the challenge for Will McLay and I
Speaker 6: think Will through the years has been able to do
Speaker 6: well at that. But dude, you shake a.
Speaker 5: Tree, you go find some receivers.
Speaker 6: Kansas City has shown us in any Kansas City.
Speaker 4: No, no, no, that's exactly right. That's why you can't
Speaker 4: use them as the model.
Speaker 6: But can you at least figure out the concepts of
Speaker 6: what we want you to do? This is this is
Speaker 6: the challenge of being a personnel.
Speaker 7: And you and you went to Tom and he went
Speaker 7: to Tom and Hallway. That's what I'm saying. That's the
Speaker 7: difference in that. And when I look at a number
Speaker 7: two receiver, I look at guys like Brandon and you,
Speaker 7: I look at t Higgins who guys like that that
Speaker 7: are playing behind a bona fide number one guy, but
Speaker 7: the production is.
Speaker 5: There for their first und second, the first and second.
Speaker 4: But no, no, when you can go to Pooka, uh,
Speaker 4: how you find a guy like that in the draft yeah.
Speaker 7: I mean a guy that if you shut down that
Speaker 7: first option, you're definitely not going to be able to
Speaker 7: shut down the second option. And NFL teams are looking
Speaker 7: for that that the Houston Texans they get tanked down
Speaker 7: a guy like I mean, that was huge. I mean,
Speaker 7: you get a guy like that that could be it
Speaker 7: could come right off the plane and have the production
Speaker 7: that he has. The Cowboys just haven't been able to
Speaker 7: put that piece in. And I have nothing against Brandon Cooks, okay,
Speaker 7: but I'm just saying, bro, come on now, let's get.
Speaker 4: Us, let's get it.
Speaker 6: Cooks the second half of the year. Half of the year,
Speaker 6: I thought, I thought he came around now and this
Speaker 6: is this is this is just my my, my small
Speaker 6: little take. They figured it out the second half of
Speaker 6: the year, and then they also figured out CD Lamb.
Speaker 6: So it took him a minute to get to figure
Speaker 6: out how to get this thing going. What if year
Speaker 6: two is even better because Cooks's resume says you do
Speaker 6: right by me, I'll get your thousands, And I don't
Speaker 6: know how right they well, we know this. The first
Speaker 6: part of the day weren't getting right by C. D. Lamb,
Speaker 6: and then the second half of the year, didn't they
Speaker 6: figured out and.
Speaker 4: We again he went on show.
Speaker 6: Right once on the show, we started complaining, you start
Speaker 6: giving it the ball and the production was it So,
Speaker 6: I mean, I what could they do in year two?
Speaker 6: But at some point in time you go have if
Speaker 6: you're bringing him back, you're gonna have to add, hey, man,
Speaker 6: we need to give some more. But that also comes
Speaker 6: upon with hearty to get the man some target. That
Speaker 6: perfect example when they've done this in the past. We
Speaker 6: were there, Laurent Robinson came in, Will found him right
Speaker 6: off the streets, came in. Guy balled out unbelievably as
Speaker 6: a number two receiver. I think he had what eleven
Speaker 6: touchdowns that him and Dad's going crazy. That's the type
Speaker 6: of production you know, you would like to have from
Speaker 6: a number two receiver that consistently.
Speaker 4: If you give me one on one, I'm gonna make
Speaker 4: you pay.
Speaker 2: And then if you decide all right, we're just gonna
Speaker 2: cover both guys one on one, then Dads went off.
Speaker 2: I mean, it is that's what we need as far
Speaker 2: as the number two receiver that can come in here
Speaker 2: and beat and consistently beat that man the man coverage
Speaker 2: because that's what teams are gonna do. They're gonna double
Speaker 2: CD throw, let Ferd get his little five yard outs
Speaker 2: in there, here and there, and they're saying, we're gonna
Speaker 2: make you know, galloping and Tobert beat us. And they
Speaker 2: weren't able to do that as far as the passing
Speaker 2: game is concerned. Yeah, a playmaker, play bicker, playmaker, big difference. Now, granted,
Speaker 2: Romo was in his bag that year.
Speaker 4: Laurent Robinson t will.
Speaker 7: Till yeah, will forget about I forgot about it. They
Speaker 7: don't mention the number two he will.
Speaker 5: I forgot he will.
Speaker 6: Going back to twenty thirteen, Terrence Williams fourth round pick
Speaker 6: at receiver, twenty fourteen, Devon Street, fifth round pick at
Speaker 6: wide receiver, going to the twenty seventeen draft, fourth round
Speaker 6: pick Ryan Switzer wide receiver, twenty eighteen third round pick,
Speaker 6: Michael Gallup wiree receiver, twenty twenty Ceed Lamb first round
Speaker 6: pick wide receiver, and twenty twenty two third round pick
Speaker 6: Jalen Tolbert wide receiver, and then Jalen Brooks last year,
Speaker 6: seventh rounder at wide receiver. So we're seeing a mixed
Speaker 6: bag at it. So and even in free agency, we've
Speaker 6: seen a mixed bag, which I guess would probably make
Speaker 6: for most of the National Football League right when you
Speaker 6: talk about just a mixed bag. But this is another
Speaker 6: another case of let's see how it goes. But it's
Speaker 6: gonna be fun. It's gonna be fun to just sit
Speaker 6: around here see exactly what they do and can they
Speaker 6: find the right guy because their quarters will be making
Speaker 6: fifty million dollars.
Speaker 5: Man, I was just about to say, where is that?
Speaker 4: Can we get it? Get ap b O Dak Prescott.
Speaker 4: Can we get a word from my leader?
Speaker 2: The leader is expecting to be a father, so no doubt.
Speaker 2: But that's that that's supposed to be happening soon. So
Speaker 2: like this month around this see.
Speaker 7: Kyle Yomans, Kyle Yomans just had three babies and I
Speaker 7: called a game with him just two days ago.
Speaker 4: I'm like, what are you doing here? Trying to get some.
Speaker 9: Sometime?
Speaker 6: I mean that man, that man understands hes gonna be
Speaker 6: haing to buy three diapers exact bags. You know, have
Speaker 6: a Costco Sam's or whatever car wholesaling. So yeah, man
Speaker 6: after trying to get pa, yes, yes, but his kids
Speaker 6: are in the nicky right now, so so he's uh
Speaker 6: waiting you know they're going to be there for a
Speaker 6: little bit. But man, three three kids. Man, so congratulations
Speaker 6: to him.
Speaker 5: I just teased him.
Speaker 6: I said, man, when number four, number four?
Speaker 4: What he said? You might have number six? Definitely what
Speaker 4: he said, going for four, I may come up with six.
Speaker 6: I said, no, I think, guy, but I don't think
Speaker 6: you'll do three again. You might roll it, you might.
Speaker 4: Last Yeah, no, no, you are right, you are right,
Speaker 4: last word totally again. Where would Newie be when you
Speaker 4: need a babysit?
