00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:36,240
Speaker 1: We're just not meant to have our actual cast a

10
00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:39,200
Speaker 1: long time. It's being a really long time, at least

11

Speaker 1: seven weeks. That's hey, So I mean we're making do

Speaker 1: make it happen. He's one constant to the whole thing. Well,

14
00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:52,279
Speaker 1: another thing, it's been a while since we've answered some

15
00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:55,640
Speaker 1: questions from fans. So if you're listening and you want

Speaker 1: about the Cowboys, you can hit us on Twitter at

18
00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:03,480
Speaker 1: Cowboys Break and we'll get to it later in the show.

19
00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:07,680
Speaker 1: But in the meantime, let's start Um, I don't know,

20
00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:10,440
Speaker 1: let's let's check back in later for that. Let's see

21
00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:13,880
Speaker 1: how the show goes. We'll see, we'll see um. But

22
00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:19,760
Speaker 1: yesterday Randy Gregory started going around Twitter and trending around

23
00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:24,319
Speaker 1: Twitter and something that's happening there where we don't necessarily

24
00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:28,080
Speaker 1: have all the facts just yet and what's exactly going

25
00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:32,760
Speaker 1: on there. But the reports from yesterday was that the

26
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:37,600
Speaker 1: Cowboys had offered an extension to Randy Gregory's contract for

27
00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:41,199
Speaker 1: I believe another year. Right and as of right now,

28
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:45,600
Speaker 1: where does this whole thing stands? It's true? What's going

29
00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:48,200
Speaker 1: on here? Well, it's definitely true. They agreed on the deal,

30
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:50,040
Speaker 1: they send it into the league, the league is now

31
00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:53,920
Speaker 1: reviewing it, and usually it's just accepted. It's not a

32
00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:57,000
Speaker 1: big issue. But I think that there are some some

33
00:01:57,080 --> 00:02:00,920
Speaker 1: things about this um extension that the NFL fell obviously

34
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:04,640
Speaker 1: has questions about the timing of it. UM and you

35
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:07,560
Speaker 1: know who it benefits, I guess obviously it's a different

36
00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:10,840
Speaker 1: situation for a guy that's been uh in you know,

37
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:14,400
Speaker 1: going in and out of them. He's had some some

38
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:18,679
Speaker 1: rehab situations, he's been suspended multiple times. He's actually suspended

39
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:22,359
Speaker 1: right now with no definition of like how many days

40
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:24,400
Speaker 1: or anything just yet. There's not a time limit on

41
00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:28,160
Speaker 1: the suspension. So I think that you know, there's you know,

42
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:29,840
Speaker 1: we talked about this just before we went on with

43
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:32,240
Speaker 1: there's a precedent here that the Cowboys have done this

44
00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:36,560
Speaker 1: before and it definitely benefits them. Um, you know, Randy

45
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:39,720
Speaker 1: needs he needs money. I think that's what it comes

46
00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:41,840
Speaker 1: down to. They're trying to help him. That's the overall

47
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:44,359
Speaker 1: thing here is that they are trying to help this guy.

48
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:47,040
Speaker 1: He's going through different centers in and out of him.

49
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:48,720
Speaker 1: He has to pay all this on his own. And

50
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:52,760
Speaker 1: what this says is basically, you're buying next year's restricted

51
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:55,679
Speaker 1: year and you're giving him a signing bonus right now.

52
00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:58,440
Speaker 1: You're putting three hundred thousand or so dollars in his

53
00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:01,800
Speaker 1: pocket now. And what that does is it you know,

54
00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:06,000
Speaker 1: it prevents Randy from, say, getting a big year this year,

55
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:08,360
Speaker 1: Say he does play gets a big year, the Cowboys

56
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:13,359
Speaker 1: would be forced to give him a probably of one year, right.

57
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:16,680
Speaker 1: It keeps him from being up for renewal as soon

58
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:19,680
Speaker 1: as he comes back. Basically they'd done this. I can

59
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:24,919
Speaker 1: think of Lance Dunbar, Phil Costa, Jeremy Parnell again, not

60
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:27,679
Speaker 1: the same type of players Randy Gregory. It's a very

61
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:31,040
Speaker 1: normal thing to do to a restricted free agent who

62
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:36,400
Speaker 1: you're anticipating using. Yeah, except usually without all the suspensions

63
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:40,920
Speaker 1: and the right that I'll be perfect. Like I hate

64
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:44,040
Speaker 1: talking about Randy Gregory and that's like nothing against Randy

65
00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:46,680
Speaker 1: at all. I like Randy Gregory as a person, not

66
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 1: but his whole career has been kind of like this,

67
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:53,840
Speaker 1: Like it's it's convoluted and there's conversations going on between

68
00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:56,040
Speaker 1: the league and the Cowboys. I mean, you know, you

69
00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:59,480
Speaker 1: talk about his suspensions, you know, his visits last year

70
00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:01,440
Speaker 1: where he had to go to Chicago as part of

71
00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:05,480
Speaker 1: his treatment. It's it's always it's always hard to get

72
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:07,200
Speaker 1: to the bottom of it with Randy. And that's not

73
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:09,400
Speaker 1: you know, like I said, I'm not not blaming him

74
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:11,560
Speaker 1: for that, but it's always tricky with it. We don't

75
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:15,280
Speaker 1: talk about the you know, government in Germany because we

76
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:17,720
Speaker 1: don't know what's going on exactly. I'm like, I don't know.

77
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:21,240
Speaker 1: I don't say I don't know. I like the analogy

78
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:24,400
Speaker 1: because like anytime Randy Gregory's in the news, I'm like

79
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:27,320
Speaker 1: looking through the CBA like okay, what I like going,

80
00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:30,640
Speaker 1: what is what is this? All? Right? So I had

81
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:32,680
Speaker 1: to be real vague with you, guys, because I could

82
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:34,480
Speaker 1: have said in any other country and you guys would

83
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:38,920
Speaker 1: have been like, well, yeah, I was there last week

84
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:42,280
Speaker 1: and Angela Merkel, what's up. I know that I got

85
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:44,159
Speaker 1: that going for me. All right, Well, let's try to

86
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:47,279
Speaker 1: put a little bit bit more sense. So based on

87
00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:50,520
Speaker 1: what you said, what do you explained this is actually

88
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:53,719
Speaker 1: a good thing or like a smart thing that the

89
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:56,359
Speaker 1: Cowboys are doing here, Because there are a lot of

90
00:04:56,400 --> 00:05:00,400
Speaker 1: confused fans as to why the Cowboys would do something

91
00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:03,960
Speaker 1: like this to a guy that has not been trustworthy

92
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:07,760
Speaker 1: or reliable. Let's say it's better, yeah, reliable, reliable on

93
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:11,600
Speaker 1: the field, you know, just just his availability hasn't been reliable,

94
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:14,040
Speaker 1: and but the Cowboys still want to give him every

95
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:17,960
Speaker 1: opportunity to succeed. They want to help him. Um, and

96
00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:20,240
Speaker 1: this would be one of those win win situations. It's

97
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:24,719
Speaker 1: like listen, it's it's like i'll help you, we'll help

98
00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:27,000
Speaker 1: you here. Well, we'll give you this extension. This will

99
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:29,720
Speaker 1: put some money in your pocket right now. Um, it

100
00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:33,039
Speaker 1: doesn't it also protects us and we don't we won't

101
00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:35,440
Speaker 1: pay you a lot next year. Um, if you have

102
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:37,440
Speaker 1: this great season, but we're helping you. We're betting on

103
00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:39,960
Speaker 1: you right now. Um. Actually, you know you can throw

104
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:42,599
Speaker 1: Buried Church in there for as an assigned him do

105
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:44,800
Speaker 1: an extension while he was coming off a torn achilles.

106
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:47,800
Speaker 1: That's right, I'm betting on you. They got him at

107
00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:51,880
Speaker 1: a pretty great discount considering you know. Yeah, he turned

108
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:54,800
Speaker 1: into their starter for however many years. So it's I

109
00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:57,479
Speaker 1: think it's so where we stand on it is that

110
00:05:57,600 --> 00:05:59,400
Speaker 1: the league is reviewing it right now. I think the

111
00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:01,080
Speaker 1: Cowboys are going to try to fight this thing and

112
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:05,200
Speaker 1: try to they're trying to help him. The league, they don't.

113
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:07,640
Speaker 1: This is new for them too, you know kind of.

114
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:09,400
Speaker 1: I mean, just just a guy that's been through this

115
00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:12,640
Speaker 1: many situations, so they have to figure out what a

116
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:17,320
Speaker 1: suspension is. They said, He's right. People people keep asking

117
00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:19,080
Speaker 1: me and again, like, you know, I hate talking about

118
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:20,600
Speaker 1: it because I can't give you a great answer. Like

119
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:25,039
Speaker 1: it's clear, you know, Jerry Jones, Stephen Jones, like everybody

120
00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:27,559
Speaker 1: from the top down has expressed at least some level

121
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:31,080
Speaker 1: of hope or confidence that maybe Randy Gregory's not done

122
00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:34,960
Speaker 1: for twenty nineteen. What that means, I don't know. I

123
00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:38,279
Speaker 1: chalk it up to you know, every report we've heard

124
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:40,279
Speaker 1: is is how hard he's been working to get back.

125
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:42,640
Speaker 1: They've gone out of their way to compliment him. You know,

126
00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:44,599
Speaker 1: they're not really allowed to have contact with him, but

127
00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:47,160
Speaker 1: they are capable of checking in on him. So every

128
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:49,720
Speaker 1: report has been favorable from what I've heard. And then

129
00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:52,400
Speaker 1: on top of that, it's very obvious and if you

130
00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:54,960
Speaker 1: remember last summer when he was first coming back, there

131
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:59,400
Speaker 1: were reports about this. The NFL is at least considering

132
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:02,040
Speaker 1: changing its stance on how these things work. And I

133
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:04,640
Speaker 1: do think there's a lot of credence to the thought

134
00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:07,320
Speaker 1: that the worst thing you can do for a guy

135
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:10,200
Speaker 1: that needs structure and help to overcome these types of

136
00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:12,360
Speaker 1: things is to send him away to be by himself.

137
00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:16,320
Speaker 1: And I think that thought is at least gaining traction

138
00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:19,640
Speaker 1: in the league office. What that means going forward, who knows.

139
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:22,680
Speaker 1: The thing that's really interesting about Gregory is that his

140
00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:24,960
Speaker 1: whole life seems to be from from what we know it,

141
00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:28,040
Speaker 1: everything about the aspects of his life is kind of

142
00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:32,920
Speaker 1: either a contradiction or it's not what you think. It's like, well,

143
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:35,320
Speaker 1: he's available, he's doing great, and all of a sudden,

144
00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:38,120
Speaker 1: now he's not. He's you know, there's just this whole

145
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:41,040
Speaker 1: status with the league is up and down. Watch him

146
00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:43,560
Speaker 1: as a player. Guy comes off the edge, makes a

147
00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:46,960
Speaker 1: great play. Oh he's turning the corner. He's got another sack,

148
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:51,320
Speaker 1: he forced to fumble, penalty fifteen yards penalty, stupid face

149
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:54,000
Speaker 1: mask penalty or hitting the quarterback lane or rinding up

150
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:56,440
Speaker 1: off sides and all that stuff. Then you talk to

151
00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:58,960
Speaker 1: him and like this guy keeps making mistakes, Like is

152
00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:00,600
Speaker 1: he really a smart guy? Have you ever had a

153
00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:03,280
Speaker 1: conversation with this a really smart He's a really smart guy.

154
00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:06,120
Speaker 1: Everything about him in his life on and off the

155
00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:09,320
Speaker 1: field is not exactly what you're thinking. As soon as

156
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:11,480
Speaker 1: you think it's one way, it goes another. So it's

157
00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:14,200
Speaker 1: it's it's weird. That's that's people though, you know, like

158
00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:17,239
Speaker 1: how many everybody's got like a cousin or a brother.

159
00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:20,440
Speaker 1: That's like he I thought he had a girlfriend. Didn't

160
00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:22,840
Speaker 1: he just get a new job and he got fired again.

161
00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:25,160
Speaker 1: I thought I thought this was it. I thought he

162
00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:28,040
Speaker 1: was yeah. I thought I thought they were gonna get married.

163
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:31,120
Speaker 1: Now you tall crap, Like back at square one with

164
00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:33,440
Speaker 1: this guy, Like everybody knows somebody like that. They're just

165
00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:37,200
Speaker 1: in Yeah, that's a good one. You're usually they're usually

166
00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:39,480
Speaker 1: not great at sacking the quarterback, like they're usually not

167
00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:44,000
Speaker 1: superstar athletes. But Randy Gregory is so all right. Well,

168
00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:46,680
Speaker 1: we'll keep waiting to see if we find some things

169
00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:49,360
Speaker 1: Dolly in the meantime. Yeah, And what's weird is that

170
00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:52,400
Speaker 1: there's a that's just one of many situations with the

171
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:55,559
Speaker 1: defensive end position. I mean that, you know, you would

172
00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:58,520
Speaker 1: think they signed a guy Robert Quinn for a one

173
00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:01,720
Speaker 1: year deal. We don't need to go into we could

174
00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:04,280
Speaker 1: have this. Derek's not Derek's not here to call DeMarcus

175
00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:06,160
Speaker 1: a bad player to so we don't have to fight

176
00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:08,599
Speaker 1: about it. Yeah, Derek's gonna hear this hot wind of

177
00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:11,680
Speaker 1: that you probably saw. I watched the show after seeing

178
00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:14,200
Speaker 1: all the what did you think about that? I was

179
00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:18,200
Speaker 1: with you guys, Yeah, you were. I would have loved

180
00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:21,559
Speaker 1: to be in here while that was happening with Brian

181
00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:24,800
Speaker 1: in here and Derek in here. Brian was just like

182
00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:28,280
Speaker 1: making no sense. Brian was that cook that's making like chili.

183
00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:32,960
Speaker 1: You know, he just band like Brian like if he

184
00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:39,080
Speaker 1: thinks it'll make if you like him. Sigh. Derek's gonna

185
00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:40,720
Speaker 1: listen to this in three hours and like, come to

186
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:42,560
Speaker 1: my desk and be like, I did not say he's

187
00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:45,319
Speaker 1: a bad player. He might just say Quinn's just as

188
00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:47,880
Speaker 1: good as he is. Was that the same kind of

189
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:51,280
Speaker 1: level of intensity he had with the hot dog or

190
00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:53,760
Speaker 1: a hamburger? Yeah, oh my god, we don't need to

191
00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:57,280
Speaker 1: do that. But yes, he was animated. He Derek likes

192
00:09:57,320 --> 00:10:01,160
Speaker 1: to argue, like he really really likes to argue. So well,

193
00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:06,720
Speaker 1: just transition into something else. Okay, Um, obviously free agency technically,

194
00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:08,760
Speaker 1: I mean it's not really over. There are still free

195
00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:15,400
Speaker 1: agents player acquisition exactly, so, but we started to transition

196
00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:20,400
Speaker 1: into the draft and more draft stuff. The thirty visits started,

197
00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:22,360
Speaker 1: so I wanted to get a little bit into that

198
00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:25,040
Speaker 1: and some of the guys that the Cowboys have brought

199
00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:31,320
Speaker 1: in here, any name that seems attractive to you. Obviously

200
00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:33,560
Speaker 1: this is on the second day of the draft, so

201
00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:37,439
Speaker 1: the names are not as flashy. But with that being said,

202
00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:40,319
Speaker 1: are there some of those guys that kind of cut

203
00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:42,839
Speaker 1: your eye? I had an hour and a half. Um,

204
00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:46,800
Speaker 1: we all had a mandatory Dave hour and a half

205
00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:51,480
Speaker 1: training session on safety here and which was ironic because

206
00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:56,160
Speaker 1: Cowboys have a lot of safeties. They sure do, waiting

207
00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:59,280
Speaker 1: for kids like I'll be you know the draft drum. Yeah,

208
00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:04,160
Speaker 1: it was pretty bad. Anyways, what's I'm trying to do

209
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:07,480
Speaker 1: my twelve things here? Yeah? Literally, no, okay, you're good. No,

210
00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:09,320
Speaker 1: it was it was a really bad joke, and I

211
00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:11,480
Speaker 1: was it wasn't It wasn't great. All right, give me

212
00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:15,080
Speaker 1: a name, give me an and why Jonathan Abram is

213
00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:18,880
Speaker 1: right here on the cover. I know you're hungry. Can't

214
00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:21,480
Speaker 1: just hold on shows over at twelve. Yeah, we look really,

215
00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:24,040
Speaker 1: we look pretty smart with the guy we put front

216
00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:27,040
Speaker 1: and center on this magazine this year. Yeah, Jonathan Jonathan

217
00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:30,040
Speaker 1: Abram is a I actually have seen him play a

218
00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:33,240
Speaker 1: game one game this year and he was wrecking the

219
00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:35,840
Speaker 1: whole first quarter and I was like, man, that's a

220
00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:38,000
Speaker 1: guy that Cowboys need. And then you guys been all

221
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:39,880
Speaker 1: over the draft show and you watch every player from

222
00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:43,000
Speaker 1: here to sagonall Valley State, and so Jonathan Abrams, a

223
00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:45,000
Speaker 1: guy you like, stands out. You don't think you'll be

224
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:47,280
Speaker 1: there fifty eight? Yeah? Well so, I mean, you know,

225
00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:49,240
Speaker 1: I don't want to read off the whole list on

226
00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:52,200
Speaker 1: the show. You can go plenty of places to find

227
00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:54,400
Speaker 1: it if you want to look. But they are clearly

228
00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:56,840
Speaker 1: focusing on safety. I think they've got as many as

229
00:11:56,880 --> 00:12:00,560
Speaker 1: like six guys coming in defensive line is a spot,

230
00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:03,960
Speaker 1: and like that's so you get thirty you can bring

231
00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:06,839
Speaker 1: thirty guys in from around the country to meet your

232
00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:10,119
Speaker 1: coaching staff, you know, work on the whiteboard, meet everybody

233
00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:14,320
Speaker 1: two or the facility, stay in the hotel across the

234
00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:19,080
Speaker 1: street for the night. So six safeties, I think six

235
00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:21,800
Speaker 1: or seven defensive linemen. Like that's and and the Cowboys

236
00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:24,440
Speaker 1: haven't really hid that, like that's been their focus. They've

237
00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:27,040
Speaker 1: sent it. That's kind of what we're looking at. If

238
00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:29,120
Speaker 1: you look at what they've done in free agency, that

239
00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:31,920
Speaker 1: makes the most sense. You know, what's what's the status

240
00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:34,640
Speaker 1: of Demark Lawrence, what's the status or Randy Gregory. None

241
00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:37,280
Speaker 1: of these defensive tackles really are here for the long term.

242
00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:39,720
Speaker 1: And then the same thing with your safeties. You know,

243
00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:42,520
Speaker 1: Jeff Heats coming up in a contract year, George Ilokas

244
00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:45,560
Speaker 1: on a one year deal, and you would like to

245
00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:47,920
Speaker 1: potentially improve the talent level. So those are those are

246
00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:51,040
Speaker 1: two spots that I think are really intriguing. M Abrams here.

247
00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:55,079
Speaker 1: Taylor Rapp from Washington is also here. I would be

248
00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:57,800
Speaker 1: pretty surprised if either of those fell all the way

249
00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:00,840
Speaker 1: to number fifty eight. That's that's the trick thing about

250
00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:06,280
Speaker 1: on one Thornhill. He's another guy that's a little more realistic.

251
00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:10,720
Speaker 1: I think Chauncey Gardner Johnson is he now I'm I'm

252
00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:14,480
Speaker 1: doubt he's a visit he is. He's a vis um

253
00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:16,880
Speaker 1: another guy that I think could be there. The tricky

254
00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:20,040
Speaker 1: thing is obviously you're you're picking six spots away from

255
00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:22,720
Speaker 1: the start of the third round, so it's not even

256
00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:25,480
Speaker 1: like you're at the top of the second So Brian

257
00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:29,360
Speaker 1: a favorite. Brian brought us catchphrases they're just at the

258
00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:31,720
Speaker 1: mercy of the board, like you just you just gotta

259
00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:34,800
Speaker 1: seem just gonna have to see who's there. Um, my

260
00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:37,600
Speaker 1: favorite player in this whole draft, Deebo Samuel was here.

261
00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:42,240
Speaker 1: That's really exciting. I honestly think that, you know, what

262
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:44,720
Speaker 1: what they've done in free agency is really good. I mean,

263
00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:46,320
Speaker 1: this is what you're supposed to do in free agency're

264
00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:48,160
Speaker 1: supposed to cover your basis, and I think they've done

265
00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:50,920
Speaker 1: even better than that of adding some players in that

266
00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:53,840
Speaker 1: are that are that can start for you. You don't

267
00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:56,600
Speaker 1: have to draft a safety. You don't have to Yeah,

268
00:13:56,720 --> 00:13:59,360
Speaker 1: I actually no, I'm I'm completely with you. I did

269
00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:02,280
Speaker 1: this chart yesterday. It's penned on my Twitter profile. I

270
00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:05,120
Speaker 1: just went down, you know, the eleven positions on a team.

271
00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:09,240
Speaker 1: You know, is this is this a Cowboys draft need?

272
00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:11,560
Speaker 1: Why or why not? And like, you can make a

273
00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:15,840
Speaker 1: convincing argument why every position is not. Any column coming

274
00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:18,199
Speaker 1: on Dallas Cowboys dot Com could be yeah, I mean,

275
00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:20,160
Speaker 1: like I feel like I've written about it on the

276
00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:23,600
Speaker 1: website before, but yeah, I mean probably tweeted about it before. Yeah,

277
00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:25,720
Speaker 1: I do that too. You know, there's many ways to

278
00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:29,160
Speaker 1: put out content these but so is it a need

279
00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:32,080
Speaker 1: or not? You can make a convincing argument why every

280
00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:35,000
Speaker 1: position is not a need. Safety. You're bringing in I Loco,

281
00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:38,720
Speaker 1: who's a six year starter. Spare me your heath hate,

282
00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:41,600
Speaker 1: but he's still there. So you've got three experienced starters

283
00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:44,760
Speaker 1: at safety defensive tackle. As much as you would like

284
00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:48,240
Speaker 1: to upgrade the depth there, you've got four experienced starters.

285
00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:50,840
Speaker 1: You've got Kerrie Hyder and Christian Covington to back up

286
00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:54,200
Speaker 1: Antoine Woods and Malik Collins defensive end. And that's and

287
00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:56,440
Speaker 1: that's not to say that Tyrone Crawford might right and

288
00:14:56,480 --> 00:14:58,960
Speaker 1: Tyrone well, and you know we've said it a million times,

289
00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:01,640
Speaker 1: he doesn't do it, but Taco could probably do it.

290
00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:06,000
Speaker 1: Two in a pinch, and signing Quinn gives you four

291
00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:08,200
Speaker 1: guys and you don't feel great about it if de

292
00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:11,080
Speaker 1: Marcus Lawrence isn't there. But you've got four guys and

293
00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:15,520
Speaker 1: hopefully five, maybe six if Randy comes back. Tight end you,

294
00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:18,040
Speaker 1: I mean, don't get me wrong, there's so many tight

295
00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:19,600
Speaker 1: ends in this class that I'd love to have on

296
00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:22,480
Speaker 1: this team. But are they how much playing time are

297
00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:24,200
Speaker 1: they going to get behind the three guys you have here,

298
00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:26,400
Speaker 1: especially Jason Witten? I mean, how much is he really

299
00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:29,400
Speaker 1: coming off the field? So the receiver you brought in

300
00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:31,680
Speaker 1: cop to go with all the guys you already have here, Like,

301
00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:34,240
Speaker 1: I think they've done a very very good job of

302
00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:37,360
Speaker 1: covering themselves. I think the one position that I just

303
00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:40,840
Speaker 1: think that you have to draft is running back. You're right,

304
00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:44,560
Speaker 1: That is you're right. That is the one spot where

305
00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:47,400
Speaker 1: you're like, yeah, they need to and and and it's

306
00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:52,560
Speaker 1: good they are. Yeah, I think there's three backs on

307
00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:55,840
Speaker 1: the list. Yeah, I mean, which you know, it's funny

308
00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:58,360
Speaker 1: to think, like their biggest need is a spot that

309
00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:01,040
Speaker 1: I would bet twenty bucks they're not to address until

310
00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:03,280
Speaker 1: the third day. Yeah, like they're not going after a

311
00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:09,080
Speaker 1: running back involves a position that has best player. And

312
00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:10,880
Speaker 1: the other thing I think we brought this up last

313
00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:13,280
Speaker 1: week is Jerry Jones said this at the owners meetings.

314
00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:15,080
Speaker 1: If they don't get a guy they love in the draft,

315
00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:18,000
Speaker 1: or maybe even if they do, there's still several good

316
00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:20,560
Speaker 1: free agents out there, Like it just goes to show,

317
00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:23,880
Speaker 1: you know, we thought running back was making all this progress,

318
00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:27,320
Speaker 1: and it's like Todd Gurley got hurt and now everybody's

319
00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:29,800
Speaker 1: afraid of him again. T J. Yelden's still out there.

320
00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:34,720
Speaker 1: It's h c J. Anderson just signs like it just happened.

321
00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:37,800
Speaker 1: So there's a couple more veterans that are still out

322
00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:40,880
Speaker 1: there as well. So I'm very confident they're gonna want

323
00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:43,000
Speaker 1: to trade for one or I don't know if we

324
00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:45,440
Speaker 1: can talk about that depends on the pro well. I mean,

325
00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:47,920
Speaker 1: well that's always the fun gray area. I know. You know,

326
00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:50,440
Speaker 1: the rumor coming out of Cleveland is that the Browns

327
00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:55,680
Speaker 1: want to deal Duke Johnson. He would very much, he would,

328
00:16:55,680 --> 00:16:57,120
Speaker 1: oh he would be a lot of fun to have

329
00:16:57,120 --> 00:16:58,960
Speaker 1: as a backup here. He can catch the ball, he

330
00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:02,560
Speaker 1: runs routes, He's obviously a capable runner. I wonder about

331
00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:06,040
Speaker 1: the cost, though, because you're trading for him. I'm one.

332
00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:07,600
Speaker 1: I mean, maybe you could do it for a twenty

333
00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:10,680
Speaker 1: twenty pick, but even then, he's got three years left

334
00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:13,560
Speaker 1: on a you know, I think average of five million

335
00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:15,480
Speaker 1: dollars a year. You pay him two million this year,

336
00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:18,080
Speaker 1: and then it escalates like three next year, three and

337
00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:21,280
Speaker 1: a half the year after that, which not a huge salary,

338
00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:23,520
Speaker 1: but when you consider that a guy you draft would

339
00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:26,560
Speaker 1: be paying, you'd be paying him six hundred thousand. I

340
00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:28,280
Speaker 1: think I'd rather just dract. Think. I think we're at

341
00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:31,200
Speaker 1: this point. You said about the free agency being over.

342
00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:34,440
Speaker 1: It's never over, but but it gets to a point,

343
00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:36,639
Speaker 1: and I didn't know if it was this early before

344
00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:38,840
Speaker 1: the draft, but it gets to a point where you're like, all, hey,

345
00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:41,159
Speaker 1: you're not gonna do anything else because we want to

346
00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:43,080
Speaker 1: wait and see what we get out of this, right,

347
00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:45,440
Speaker 1: and then then it'll pick back up. I bet, yeah,

348
00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:48,040
Speaker 1: they'll probably sign a couple more guys, but it'll be

349
00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:50,199
Speaker 1: when the draft's over, because yeah, I mean the visitors

350
00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:53,320
Speaker 1: are here, you know, you still got to do Dallas Day,

351
00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:55,080
Speaker 1: which is when you bring in all the local kids

352
00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:57,840
Speaker 1: that should be coming up soon. This guy's just staring

353
00:17:57,880 --> 00:18:00,920
Speaker 1: at me. Here, this Elijah holy Field. You like him?

354
00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:03,440
Speaker 1: I do? And maybe I'm just enamored if his name

355
00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:06,560
Speaker 1: was Elijah Jones and his dad just was well, but

356
00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:09,320
Speaker 1: his dad get that weight champion boxer of the world played.

357
00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:12,000
Speaker 1: He played for Georgia. They've been one of the best

358
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:14,160
Speaker 1: programs in college football the last two or three years.

359
00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:17,280
Speaker 1: He kind of runs like Zeke like he now this

360
00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:20,800
Speaker 1: four seven eight for his forty time is obviously not great,

361
00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:24,399
Speaker 1: lower like four eight four nine. I'm just saying, I

362
00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:26,600
Speaker 1: don't know. I don't want to running forty yards. I

363
00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:29,920
Speaker 1: want to run in like six yards. But I think

364
00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:31,680
Speaker 1: I think a guy like that in the mid rounds

365
00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:33,080
Speaker 1: would be good. It may not be him, It'll be

366
00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:35,040
Speaker 1: somebody with with a little bit more. I say that,

367
00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:37,160
Speaker 1: I mean, who cared? Like how often do you see

368
00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:39,560
Speaker 1: NFL running backs run forty yards at a time? Like

369
00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:41,600
Speaker 1: what's the ten yards split? Like? Can he get through

370
00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:43,480
Speaker 1: the hole? Can he hit can he hit the split

371
00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:45,240
Speaker 1: in like one point five? Are you going to carry

372
00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:47,400
Speaker 1: a couple of guys with him. Yeah, again, we saw

373
00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:50,800
Speaker 1: one of the are you talking about from a physique standpoint?

374
00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:52,800
Speaker 1: We saw one of the best they've ever had in

375
00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:54,879
Speaker 1: the seventh round pick last year and he's not in

376
00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:58,440
Speaker 1: the league both Scarborough, Oh yeah, you're right, so which

377
00:18:58,480 --> 00:19:01,720
Speaker 1: that was sad. But his dad's not heavyweight boxer. That's

378
00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:05,480
Speaker 1: I really I look at the fourth round as the

379
00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:09,800
Speaker 1: sweet spot because you know, you draft, you go any later.

380
00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:12,760
Speaker 1: You're talking about bo Scarborough, you're talking about Darius Jackson,

381
00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:16,000
Speaker 1: which you know, big fan of Darius Jackson, but he's

382
00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:18,919
Speaker 1: had six carries in the NFL in three years. But

383
00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:22,159
Speaker 1: they've got two picks in the fourth round. You know,

384
00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:26,360
Speaker 1: you think about holy Field, Justice Hill. I think there's

385
00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:29,040
Speaker 1: two kids coming out of Memphis that I'm drawn a

386
00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:31,080
Speaker 1: blank on their name right now, who are both really good?

387
00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:34,960
Speaker 1: Going to my draft guide, yeah, which get on news

388
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:37,160
Speaker 1: stands and on the internet, like starting this week, right,

389
00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:40,760
Speaker 1: I think, yes, starting today. Darryl Henderson's the guy, Darrell Henderson,

390
00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:44,480
Speaker 1: really good player. I said, Justice Hill out of Oklahoma State.

391
00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:47,280
Speaker 1: You know he ran the fastest combine at the fastest

392
00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:51,119
Speaker 1: combine fastest forty at the combine, So two picks in

393
00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:54,040
Speaker 1: the fourth round. Um, that's where I'm looking if I'm

394
00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:55,800
Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys, and I think you could find a

395
00:19:55,880 --> 00:20:00,480
Speaker 1: really capable back up in there. All right, Well, let's

396

438
00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:13,480
Speaker 1: he's made of. That's why the Cowboys rely on more

439
00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:16,760
Speaker 1: than just stats and scouting reports when building their team.

Speaker 1: it out and put it to the test. The Cowboys

443
00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:29,440

Speaker 1: Slash Football. Back to the Break, All right, welcome back.

446
00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:41,800
Speaker 1: This is the second segment of the Break, and here's

447
00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:44,520
Speaker 1: a question from Twitter. Since we're still in the topic

448
00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:49,000
Speaker 1: of the draft and some options there. If either of

449
00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:52,080
Speaker 1: these safeties fall into the second round, do you think

450
00:22:52,119 --> 00:22:54,840
Speaker 1: the Cowboys will treat up for a ram or Rap.

451
00:22:56,359 --> 00:22:59,320
Speaker 1: I would never count out the possibility of the Cowboys

452
00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:03,520
Speaker 1: trading I think it would depend on how far they

453
00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:07,439
Speaker 1: have to go and whether they're comfortable. You know, unless

454
00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:09,480
Speaker 1: you know, unless you're talking about only moving four or

455
00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:12,280
Speaker 1: five spots, you probably have to trade your third round pick,

456
00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:15,879
Speaker 1: so you know, which to the point we made in

457
00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:18,320
Speaker 1: the first segment, like they've done a pretty good job

458
00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:21,840
Speaker 1: of handling their needs. So you know, if you're like,

459
00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:23,800
Speaker 1: you know, let's say, you know, we can get Jonathan

460
00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:25,920
Speaker 1: Abram if we trade our third round pick and we've

461
00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:28,879
Speaker 1: got we've got our starting safety duo for the next

462
00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:31,240
Speaker 1: you know, at least two, if not more years, and

463
00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:34,480
Speaker 1: this guy's gonna be you know, playing for us for

464
00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:38,800
Speaker 1: a decade, then I would do it for sure, because

465
00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:42,639
Speaker 1: there just aren't that many positions where when you're picking

466
00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:45,280
Speaker 1: at ninety where I feel confident that that this guy's

467
00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:48,040
Speaker 1: going to be a hit, you know, And so I

468
00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:49,560
Speaker 1: would do it. I don't know if they would do it,

469
00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:53,160
Speaker 1: but you know, for everybody that's asking that, get comfortable

470
00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:54,840
Speaker 1: with the thought that it would cost your third round

471
00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:57,280
Speaker 1: pick to do it. Yeah, I think that, you know,

472
00:23:57,320 --> 00:24:00,639
Speaker 1: by sitting around all day and in the first day

473
00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:02,520
Speaker 1: of the draft and not not being able to do

474
00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:06,160
Speaker 1: anything and watching Amari Cooper highlights, as Stephen Jones said,

475
00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:10,000
Speaker 1: they would do. But I think that you have a

476
00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:13,639
Speaker 1: better chance of thinking they will move back than the

477
00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:17,280
Speaker 1: move up. I just I just think that they're gonna

478
00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:20,639
Speaker 1: try to collect some picks. So if there's somebody that

479
00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:22,879
Speaker 1: they're not like in love with at the fifty eight spot,

480
00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:25,000
Speaker 1: I could see them maybe trying to move back. But

481
00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:27,800
Speaker 1: I mean then then you would move out of the round,

482
00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:30,760
Speaker 1: or you could There could be there could be five

483
00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:33,439
Speaker 1: guys that they feel good about, and you're like, well,

484
00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:35,800
Speaker 1: maybe we can trade back and one of those guys

485
00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:38,440
Speaker 1: will still be there when we pick at sixty five

486
00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:41,480
Speaker 1: instead of fifty eight. Because what you just said about

487
00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:43,479
Speaker 1: you don't think there's a huge difference maker. They're at

488
00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:46,840
Speaker 1: ninety so you would which, okay, maybe, I mean there's

489
00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:49,640
Speaker 1: typically not. Yes, Jason Witten was picked in third round,

490
00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:51,960
Speaker 1: but well, I mean, you know, Michael Gallup was pick

491
00:24:52,040 --> 00:24:54,439
Speaker 1: eighty one. But and you know, I always say, like,

492
00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:56,920
Speaker 1: you want your top one hundred. Anybody you take in

493
00:24:56,960 --> 00:24:58,800
Speaker 1: the top one hundred you're hoping can play a role

494
00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:01,680
Speaker 1: for you in their rookie year. But I feel better

495
00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:04,720
Speaker 1: about a guy you're trading up to forty five. Yeah,

496
00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:07,960
Speaker 1: than a guy you're drafting at ninety. But that being said,

497
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:10,240
Speaker 1: the guy at forty five, you would rather just probably

498
00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:12,879
Speaker 1: have your second and third round pick than to you know,

499
00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:16,000
Speaker 1: I mean, which which you know what I remember. I

500
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:18,520
Speaker 1: remember the DeMarcus Lawrence trade was similar to that because

501
00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:20,720
Speaker 1: they moved up to thirty four. I don't remember where

502
00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:23,280
Speaker 1: they were, they were at forty seven. They went at

503
00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:27,240
Speaker 1: thirteen spots, and you know, you moved up. You moved

504
00:25:27,320 --> 00:25:29,240
Speaker 1: up to get to Marcus Lawrence and he had to

505
00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:31,920
Speaker 1: you didn't have your third round pick. Same type of scenario.

506
00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:34,639
Speaker 1: And then there was a good guard from LSU maybe

507
00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:36,480
Speaker 1: that was sitting in the third round, and you're like,

508
00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:38,440
Speaker 1: is this a good night? After a couple of years,

509
00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:41,160
Speaker 1: you're like, this really wasn't a great pick, and then

510
00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:42,720
Speaker 1: two or three years later it's like it was a

511
00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:45,640
Speaker 1: great pick, and then now maybe it's not. Well I'm

512
00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:48,040
Speaker 1: just kidding. There's two guys from the twenty fourteen draft

513
00:25:48,119 --> 00:25:50,120
Speaker 1: still on this team and they're both all pros. So

514
00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:52,720
Speaker 1: I mean worked out. It took to Marcus a little

515
00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:55,000
Speaker 1: bit longer than Zach. I think Zach kind of got

516
00:25:55,000 --> 00:26:00,360
Speaker 1: there faster than everybody ever. Yeah, but that's tricky. I mean,

517
00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:04,040
Speaker 1: you like, yeah, would you rather have you know Zach

518
00:26:04,119 --> 00:26:09,240
Speaker 1: Allen and um, I'm gonna Zach Allen and McCole Hardman

519
00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:13,639
Speaker 1: from Georgia me cole or or Jonathan Abram you know,

520
00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:16,480
Speaker 1: I don't know. I just saw Mikol Hardman and it's fourth.

521
00:26:16,560 --> 00:26:18,920
Speaker 1: He's fast, free. He would be your guy, he would

522
00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:22,960
Speaker 1: be your speed guy. He was staring at you two. No. Actually,

523
00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:25,280
Speaker 1: when I watched the championship game two years ago and

524
00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:26,960
Speaker 1: it was Alabama and he I think he went for

525
00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:29,199
Speaker 1: eighty yarder and then he had another touchdown in the

526
00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:31,440
Speaker 1: game too. I'm like, he's fast. Who's this guy? He's

527
00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:35,840
Speaker 1: super fast? What's his deal? We can't catch what his

528
00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:38,920
Speaker 1: his route tree? I don't think he's super polished. I mean,

529
00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:42,720
Speaker 1: I mean, and that's he's He's kind of Tavon Austiny

530
00:26:42,840 --> 00:26:45,600
Speaker 1: to me, you know, which you know that speed can

531
00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:47,800
Speaker 1: make a difference, and I just don't know how polished

532
00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:50,520
Speaker 1: he is. That's just me though, I'm not you know,

533
00:26:50,560 --> 00:26:53,639
Speaker 1: Brian's the scout. Yeah, that's just my opinion, all right,

534
00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:56,520
Speaker 1: anything else you'll want to say before we changed the topic, No,

535
00:26:56,800 --> 00:26:58,760
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. I mean, cut us off. Whatever, what are

536
00:26:58,800 --> 00:27:02,520
Speaker 1: we going to I'll talk. I know sometimes you have

537
00:27:02,560 --> 00:27:05,960
Speaker 1: something in your mind. So today's Wednesday. Obviously tomorrow is Thursday,

538
00:27:06,119 --> 00:27:09,120
Speaker 1: which is another episode of the Draft show. True. But well,

539
00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:12,040
Speaker 1: you can go to the website. I think later today

540
00:27:12,040 --> 00:27:13,720
Speaker 1: we'll be able to have a link for you that

541
00:27:13,760 --> 00:27:15,760
Speaker 1: you can go and purchase this magazine. I'd take a

542
00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:17,840
Speaker 1: lot of good information stuff, a lot of guys. I

543
00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:19,280
Speaker 1: don't even want to put a number on it, but

544
00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:21,880
Speaker 1: it's probably over at least three hundred guys that are

545
00:27:22,119 --> 00:27:25,480
Speaker 1: that are listed in here with with some detailed profiles

546
00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:27,840
Speaker 1: on about one hundred and fifty one hundred and seventy.

547
00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:30,119
Speaker 1: I think guys at Brian really spent a lot of

548
00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:32,440
Speaker 1: time the work and the work that he puts into

549
00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:36,920
Speaker 1: the draft process is uh, it's unbelievable. And I think

550
00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:39,320
Speaker 1: this cover is amazing and we did a nice job

551
00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:43,480
Speaker 1: with this cover. So, um, probably two guys on here

552
00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:46,240
Speaker 1: that have a real good shot, maybe three when you

553
00:27:46,280 --> 00:27:50,560
Speaker 1: talk about Jonathan Abram um Alan, there's a few guys

554
00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:55,040
Speaker 1: on there that that have a shot. Alan from Boston College. Yeah, Um,

555
00:27:55,160 --> 00:27:58,240
Speaker 1: you know, Trevion Williams is a guy to watch maybe

556
00:27:58,320 --> 00:28:03,199
Speaker 1: at Oliver if he falls, Yeah, geez, I would be

557
00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:05,080
Speaker 1: a hell of a fall. I might have to wear

558
00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:07,720
Speaker 1: a gas mask on Draft night to have that happen.

559
00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:12,440
Speaker 1: God Heard is a guy I you know, I haven't

560
00:28:12,440 --> 00:28:14,320
Speaker 1: heard a lot of smoke about him from the you

561
00:28:14,359 --> 00:28:16,600
Speaker 1: know you kind of a lot of these names kind

562
00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:18,840
Speaker 1: of get linked to the Cowboys. I haven't heard anything

563
00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:21,320
Speaker 1: linking Jalen Heard to the Cowboys. But I'm a big

564
00:28:21,359 --> 00:28:24,239
Speaker 1: fan of his game. You never know what happened. He

565
00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:26,919
Speaker 1: was the he was the running back that Alvin like.

566
00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:29,719
Speaker 1: He Alvin Kamara couldn't get on the field because of him,

567
00:28:29,760 --> 00:28:31,960
Speaker 1: and then he wound up playing slot receiver at Baylor.

568
00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:38,240
Speaker 1: So he just sucks. I watched. I'm just watching, and

569
00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:41,360
Speaker 1: I see all these guys just so young, you know,

570
00:28:41,720 --> 00:28:44,880
Speaker 1: and it reminds me of every time I just I

571
00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:47,000
Speaker 1: would say, oh, they just keep getting younger, but no,

572
00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:51,600
Speaker 1: I just keep getting Stop. It's weird, No, it's weird.

573
00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:55,200
Speaker 1: It's weird that now I came in at the same

574
00:28:55,240 --> 00:28:57,480
Speaker 1: age and now they're all like, way younger than me.

575
00:28:57,520 --> 00:29:00,560
Speaker 1: What does that have to do with anything? Though? It

576
00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:02,720
Speaker 1: just has a baby face. He has a baby face.

577
00:29:02,800 --> 00:29:06,600
Speaker 1: Twenty six years old. Nobody's impressed. You're not old at all.

578
00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:12,320
Speaker 1: All right, Well, Jason Witten, he's getting up there. He

579
00:29:13,280 --> 00:29:17,360
Speaker 1: got inducted into the Texas Sports Hall of Fame and

580
00:29:17,880 --> 00:29:21,080
Speaker 1: he got the chance to talk to the media for

581
00:29:21,120 --> 00:29:26,680
Speaker 1: the first time since he got since he retired. All

582
00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:32,040
Speaker 1: that jazz that happened. Anyways, he seems pretty excited, very

583
00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:35,480
Speaker 1: very excited. Got a post on Instagram and Twitter and

584
00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:39,120
Speaker 1: of his helpmet and his jersey in the locker room.

585
00:29:39,560 --> 00:29:44,440
Speaker 1: And we've already discussed our expectations for him this year

586
00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:47,560
Speaker 1: of coming back after a year of not playing football.

587
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:50,760
Speaker 1: But there was something that he said that was interesting

588
00:29:50,800 --> 00:29:53,680
Speaker 1: to me, the whole experience of him watching the game

589
00:29:53,760 --> 00:29:58,280
Speaker 1: from the booth and just seeing the whole game from

590
00:29:58,280 --> 00:30:03,040
Speaker 1: a whole another perspective. Do you guys think that him

591
00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:06,760
Speaker 1: having the opportunity to experience that and learn from that

592
00:30:06,960 --> 00:30:10,560
Speaker 1: would give him some kind of different knowledge or advantage

593
00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:14,000
Speaker 1: that he can apply into the game. Um, I don't

594
00:30:14,080 --> 00:30:16,560
Speaker 1: know about that part. I don't know if that if

595
00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:19,200
Speaker 1: that's the thing, what I do what I do buy

596
00:30:19,240 --> 00:30:22,640
Speaker 1: into is that him be him seeing it from another

597
00:30:22,680 --> 00:30:26,000
Speaker 1: perspective and really just missing what he's used to and

598
00:30:26,080 --> 00:30:28,160
Speaker 1: I did have a conversation with him. It was very

599
00:30:28,160 --> 00:30:30,160
Speaker 1: one sided. I didn't get a lot of words in.

600
00:30:30,280 --> 00:30:32,440
Speaker 1: He was he was, he was going, and he was

601
00:30:32,480 --> 00:30:36,440
Speaker 1: talking a lot about his whole time at ESPN. And

602
00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:39,360
Speaker 1: basically what I took from that was when the game

603
00:30:39,400 --> 00:30:41,000
Speaker 1: was over, he told me his story. The very first

604
00:30:41,040 --> 00:30:44,000
Speaker 1: game he did was over. He was like, that's it,

605
00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:47,000
Speaker 1: Like what what what now? Like, well, you just go

606
00:30:47,080 --> 00:30:49,120
Speaker 1: home and go to the next game next week. He

607
00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:52,320
Speaker 1: was just it just didn't he wasn't fulfilled. He didn't

608
00:30:52,320 --> 00:30:54,280
Speaker 1: get hit in the face, he didn't get to hit anyone.

609
00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:57,840
Speaker 1: It just wasn't his thing. And he was just you

610
00:30:57,840 --> 00:31:00,959
Speaker 1: could tell that he wasn't ready to give it up.

611
00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:03,440
Speaker 1: So to come back, I think that I don't know

612
00:31:03,480 --> 00:31:06,080
Speaker 1: if it's a different perspective, but I just think that

613
00:31:06,280 --> 00:31:11,000
Speaker 1: he's got this renewed energy and I think he will

614
00:31:11,040 --> 00:31:13,000
Speaker 1: have to change his mindset a little bit. I mean,

615
00:31:13,040 --> 00:31:15,640
Speaker 1: this hole coming off the field stuff and what kind

616
00:31:15,640 --> 00:31:17,280
Speaker 1: of leadership he is. You know, when when you leave

617
00:31:17,320 --> 00:31:19,800
Speaker 1: for a year, you come back, it won't be the same.

618
00:31:19,840 --> 00:31:21,440
Speaker 1: And I think he knows that, I really do. I

619
00:31:21,520 --> 00:31:23,400
Speaker 1: think he knows that he's not maybe one of the

620
00:31:23,480 --> 00:31:25,840
Speaker 1: leader leaders of this team. I'll be I. You know,

621
00:31:26,200 --> 00:31:28,320
Speaker 1: it's you don't want to read too much into it.

622
00:31:28,360 --> 00:31:30,920
Speaker 1: If you saw it, you mentioned it the video he posted.

623
00:31:31,640 --> 00:31:33,600
Speaker 1: You know, he walked into the locker room and was like,

624
00:31:33,720 --> 00:31:36,760
Speaker 1: let's do it. Which is funny because he was back here.

625
00:31:37,240 --> 00:31:39,320
Speaker 1: He was in the building like a day after all

626
00:31:39,360 --> 00:31:41,320
Speaker 1: that happened. Like I remember we were in Indie for

627
00:31:41,360 --> 00:31:43,640
Speaker 1: the combine and they announced he was coming back on

628
00:31:43,680 --> 00:31:47,280
Speaker 1: a Thursday. I came back into work on like a Wednesday,

629
00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:50,760
Speaker 1: and you know, he was in his sweatsuit with his

630
00:31:50,880 --> 00:31:53,280
Speaker 1: backwards hat, and I was like, like it was like

631
00:31:53,320 --> 00:31:55,480
Speaker 1: he never left, Like he did not waste any time

632
00:31:55,480 --> 00:31:56,960
Speaker 1: getting back into the flow of it. So you can

633
00:31:57,040 --> 00:32:01,040
Speaker 1: tell he's excited. But he posted this video and if

634
00:32:01,080 --> 00:32:04,120
Speaker 1: you look, his locker is in between two other lockers, which,

635
00:32:04,120 --> 00:32:05,920
Speaker 1: if you know the layout of the Cowboys locker room,

636
00:32:05,960 --> 00:32:07,800
Speaker 1: that's not the way it used to be. He was

637
00:32:07,840 --> 00:32:10,240
Speaker 1: the last you know, Jason Garrett loves to put his

638
00:32:10,360 --> 00:32:12,800
Speaker 1: leaders at focal points of the locker room, so like

639
00:32:12,840 --> 00:32:16,280
Speaker 1: your pro bowlers are either at the end, so you

640
00:32:16,360 --> 00:32:18,360
Speaker 1: have to walk past him to come into the locker room.

641
00:32:18,400 --> 00:32:20,680
Speaker 1: You know, Sean Lee and DeMarcus Lawrence are at one end,

642
00:32:21,040 --> 00:32:23,360
Speaker 1: Travis Frederick and Tyrn Smith or at the other end,

643
00:32:23,800 --> 00:32:26,240
Speaker 1: and then in the middle, you know, by the showers.

644
00:32:26,360 --> 00:32:30,320
Speaker 1: You you had Jason Witton, you had um Dan Bailey

645
00:32:30,360 --> 00:32:34,400
Speaker 1: for a while, rip well way back in the Valley

646
00:32:34,440 --> 00:32:37,080
Speaker 1: Ranch days. Yeah, Romo, I guess he had a locker

647
00:32:37,160 --> 00:32:39,760
Speaker 1: here in twenty sixteen. It doesn't feel like it at

648
00:32:39,760 --> 00:32:42,400
Speaker 1: this point, but yeah, Dak and Zeke sit in the

649
00:32:42,400 --> 00:32:44,080
Speaker 1: middle of the locker room, so you have to be

650
00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:46,760
Speaker 1: near them if you're going by the showers or whatever. Anyway,

651
00:32:47,120 --> 00:32:49,560
Speaker 1: Witton sat right there by the shower, and when he left,

652
00:32:49,560 --> 00:32:51,280
Speaker 1: they made a big deal of giving his locker to

653
00:32:51,360 --> 00:32:53,720
Speaker 1: Zach Martin. And you're not going to take that away

654
00:32:53,760 --> 00:32:56,240
Speaker 1: from Zach Martin. I mean, he's definitely in the conversation.

655
00:32:57,960 --> 00:33:01,160
Speaker 1: Locker empty for like it least nine or ten weeks

656
00:33:01,200 --> 00:33:03,320
Speaker 1: of the season, though, well, no, they left it empty.

657
00:33:03,360 --> 00:33:06,240
Speaker 1: They left it empty for the off season program and

658
00:33:06,280 --> 00:33:07,960
Speaker 1: then when the you know, when the team got back

659
00:33:07,960 --> 00:33:10,600
Speaker 1: from Oxnard. I think that's when Zach moved over there.

660
00:33:10,680 --> 00:33:15,440
Speaker 1: But either way, I know, I don't know, but if

661
00:33:15,440 --> 00:33:17,360
Speaker 1: you go look at you know, it's it's an Instagram

662
00:33:17,480 --> 00:33:19,320
Speaker 1: video or a Twitter video whatever, and you can just

663
00:33:19,400 --> 00:33:23,920
Speaker 1: tell that it's in between two lockers, which was not

664
00:33:23,960 --> 00:33:26,080
Speaker 1: the case with his old locker. And I was like, well,

665
00:33:26,520 --> 00:33:30,200
Speaker 1: that's kind of telling that, you know, it's not exactly

666
00:33:30,240 --> 00:33:32,160
Speaker 1: the same, because it was exactly the same. They would

667
00:33:32,160 --> 00:33:33,760
Speaker 1: have put him right back in his old spot where

668
00:33:33,760 --> 00:33:35,720
Speaker 1: he always sat, and they didn't do that. And part

669
00:33:35,720 --> 00:33:38,440
Speaker 1: of that is stemmed from Valley Ranch, just from a

670
00:33:38,480 --> 00:33:42,239
Speaker 1: simple standpoint of when the media is around them at

671
00:33:42,240 --> 00:33:45,200
Speaker 1: their locker, because we don't do the podium here, um,

672
00:33:45,560 --> 00:33:48,240
Speaker 1: that it's just easier for the media to kind of

673
00:33:48,240 --> 00:33:51,360
Speaker 1: be around like the edges. Yeah, and but now it

674
00:33:51,400 --> 00:33:54,000
Speaker 1: doesn't really feel the same. It's actually harder to do

675
00:33:54,040 --> 00:33:56,080
Speaker 1: that with you know, Sean Lee and de Marcus. I

676
00:33:56,080 --> 00:33:57,920
Speaker 1: don't Dees had to have a spot like that. Dees

677
00:33:58,120 --> 00:34:00,240
Speaker 1: used to see. Yeah, they moved to Marcus into does

678
00:34:00,240 --> 00:34:02,280
Speaker 1: a spot, So it's fun to see how that changes.

679
00:34:02,320 --> 00:34:05,560
Speaker 1: But again, you know, maybe they'll you know, just because

680
00:34:05,560 --> 00:34:08,000
Speaker 1: that's where Witten's locker was in an Instagram video on

681
00:34:08,160 --> 00:34:10,719
Speaker 1: March twenty fifth, doesn't mean that's where it'll be. But

682
00:34:10,800 --> 00:34:13,279
Speaker 1: I did think that was interesting because how are you

683
00:34:13,320 --> 00:34:17,160
Speaker 1: gonna ask Zach Martin to move mister five time all

684
00:34:17,239 --> 00:34:21,760
Speaker 1: pro Okay, I'm drawing blank right now? Who sits? Um?

685
00:34:22,160 --> 00:34:25,759
Speaker 1: Where Roma was? Dan Bailey? Don't know? Over in that LP.

686
00:34:26,320 --> 00:34:30,520
Speaker 1: It might be LP. Yeah, I'm like about corner. I'm

687
00:34:30,600 --> 00:34:33,279
Speaker 1: drawing a blank because whoever it is, he's not a

688
00:34:33,280 --> 00:34:36,560
Speaker 1: guy that talks to the media. Yeah, I cannot remember.

689
00:34:36,680 --> 00:34:39,319
Speaker 1: I don't either. I don't. I don't think it was LP.

690
00:34:40,239 --> 00:34:43,640
Speaker 1: I don't think it's Light. It might be Chris Jones.

691
00:34:43,880 --> 00:34:47,399
Speaker 1: Chris Jones sits over there somewhere. I don't know when

692
00:34:47,440 --> 00:34:49,160
Speaker 1: I go in the locker room next time, which will

693
00:34:49,200 --> 00:34:50,879
Speaker 1: be in like a month. You know, this is very

694
00:34:50,920 --> 00:34:54,480
Speaker 1: important talk. Where are these players? We're peeling the curtain

695
00:34:54,560 --> 00:34:57,440
Speaker 1: back right now? Okay, people want to hear this stuff. Yeah,

696
00:34:57,440 --> 00:35:02,320
Speaker 1: maybe maybe maybe? Where are we even? So? Yeah, win

697
00:35:02,440 --> 00:35:04,920
Speaker 1: is he gonna be? I think I want? I mean,

698
00:35:05,120 --> 00:35:07,640
Speaker 1: I don't think it's gonna be completely so confident and

699
00:35:07,719 --> 00:35:09,960
Speaker 1: also saying you know, there are I understand there are

700
00:35:10,080 --> 00:35:13,480
Speaker 1: doubt doubters out there that are gonna you know, doubt

701
00:35:13,880 --> 00:35:17,000
Speaker 1: his comeback and all that, But the way he expressed

702
00:35:17,040 --> 00:35:20,880
Speaker 1: himself was basically like, um, the tape is going to

703
00:35:20,960 --> 00:35:23,680
Speaker 1: show the real thing. I don't doubt watch it. I

704
00:35:23,719 --> 00:35:25,880
Speaker 1: don't doubt his ability to come back at all. I

705
00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:28,239
Speaker 1: doubt how different it's going to be. And that's even

706
00:35:28,280 --> 00:35:30,080
Speaker 1: if he's in a new locker or whatever. I mean,

707
00:35:30,080 --> 00:35:32,040
Speaker 1: I just, you know, Jerry Jones said it. I gotta

708
00:35:32,120 --> 00:35:34,239
Speaker 1: see to believe that he's going to be part of

709
00:35:34,280 --> 00:35:37,359
Speaker 1: this platoon with two guys that have like twenty five

710
00:35:37,360 --> 00:35:40,239
Speaker 1: career catches like well, I just don't. I gotta see it.

711
00:35:40,360 --> 00:35:42,719
Speaker 1: I just have to. And all the players respect him

712
00:35:42,800 --> 00:35:45,960
Speaker 1: just as much. I mean, that hasn't gone away, so

713
00:35:46,080 --> 00:35:48,759
Speaker 1: there's gonna be still that level of respect. And let's

714
00:35:48,760 --> 00:35:52,240
Speaker 1: be honest too, it's not like he was keeping these

715
00:35:52,360 --> 00:35:55,839
Speaker 1: great players down by being on the field all the time.

716
00:35:55,960 --> 00:35:58,520
Speaker 1: Now you can say Martellis Bennett was pretty good. That

717
00:35:58,600 --> 00:36:00,759
Speaker 1: was ten years ago. Ten years ago. Yeah, but and

718
00:36:00,840 --> 00:36:02,680
Speaker 1: he made a Pro Bowl or two or whatever, and

719
00:36:02,800 --> 00:36:05,120
Speaker 1: Jason made about six or seven more. But I don't

720
00:36:05,160 --> 00:36:07,640
Speaker 1: think there's been any other tight ends that he's like, well,

721
00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:11,960
Speaker 1: I mean, it's definitely a narrative, you know, Fasano, Martellis, Uh,

722
00:36:12,160 --> 00:36:16,280
Speaker 1: there was one more, wasn't there? Kevin? Yeah, I'm saying

723
00:36:17,200 --> 00:36:20,120
Speaker 1: but it's been a while since, like a truly great

724
00:36:20,560 --> 00:36:23,120
Speaker 1: tightly since a guy went on to be better at

725
00:36:23,160 --> 00:36:25,359
Speaker 1: his next team after not making it here, like it's

726
00:36:25,360 --> 00:36:27,720
Speaker 1: been a while since that. I think if Blake Jarwin

727
00:36:27,880 --> 00:36:31,920
Speaker 1: and and or Schultz are you know, worthy of of

728
00:36:31,920 --> 00:36:34,200
Speaker 1: of playing as much or if not more than Witten,

729
00:36:34,320 --> 00:36:37,160
Speaker 1: then then I would imagine the Cowboys would make that

730
00:36:37,239 --> 00:36:40,360
Speaker 1: change and do that. I mean, these coaches, as Brian

731
00:36:40,440 --> 00:36:42,600
Speaker 1: brought Us would say, these coaches are coaching for their

732
00:36:42,640 --> 00:36:45,359
Speaker 1: lives here. This is this is a I mean, this

733
00:36:45,480 --> 00:36:48,400
Speaker 1: is their their shot. And I don't think that you

734
00:36:48,440 --> 00:36:50,920
Speaker 1: can't sit there and go, well, nah, I can't. I

735
00:36:50,920 --> 00:36:52,920
Speaker 1: can't tell Whitten to get off the field. Well, you know,

736
00:36:53,320 --> 00:36:55,480
Speaker 1: the owner's gonna tell you to get to leave if

737
00:36:55,480 --> 00:36:57,719
Speaker 1: if this thing doesn't go and you kind of lose

738
00:36:57,719 --> 00:37:00,920
Speaker 1: that right after you decide to retire you so you

739
00:37:01,000 --> 00:37:03,880
Speaker 1: do you do? I mean, no, that's fair. I still

740
00:37:04,640 --> 00:37:08,359
Speaker 1: whether he's better or because he's Jason Witten, whatever, If

741
00:37:08,400 --> 00:37:11,280
Speaker 1: I set the over under for for his offensive snaps

742
00:37:11,320 --> 00:37:15,680
Speaker 1: like next January the or February sorry whatever, whenever the

743
00:37:15,719 --> 00:37:20,040
Speaker 1: season ends, season and review booklet comes out, I set

744
00:37:20,080 --> 00:37:22,640
Speaker 1: I'm setting the over under for snap count, like eighty

745
00:37:22,640 --> 00:37:24,600
Speaker 1: three point five percent of the snaps you've taken the

746
00:37:24,600 --> 00:37:28,120
Speaker 1: over or the under eighty three point five And I'm

747
00:37:28,200 --> 00:37:31,560
Speaker 1: being generous because his numbers are usually ninety. You ever

748
00:37:31,640 --> 00:37:34,319
Speaker 1: been ninety five? If I said it at eighty three

749
00:37:34,360 --> 00:37:37,640
Speaker 1: and a half, where I'm taking the over all day,

750
00:37:37,680 --> 00:37:41,759
Speaker 1: all day, probably i'd probably I'd take the over if

751
00:37:41,800 --> 00:37:45,759
Speaker 1: you said it at ninety honestly, Yeah, yeah, that's a

752
00:37:45,800 --> 00:37:47,680
Speaker 1: good question. I think it's in the eighties. I would

753
00:37:47,719 --> 00:37:49,319
Speaker 1: take the I would definitely take the under if it

754
00:37:49,360 --> 00:37:52,359
Speaker 1: was in the nineties, but eighty And I can't sit

755
00:37:52,440 --> 00:37:54,719
Speaker 1: sit here and think it's in the seventies. I can't either.

756
00:37:54,880 --> 00:37:56,880
Speaker 1: That's and maybe it will be. I don't know, but

757
00:37:56,960 --> 00:37:58,920
Speaker 1: I just I have to see that before I believe

758
00:37:58,920 --> 00:38:02,080
Speaker 1: it's going to happen. Training camp is going to be fun, Yeah,

759
00:38:02,440 --> 00:38:04,879
Speaker 1: just to watch him come back and after a whole

760
00:38:04,920 --> 00:38:07,279
Speaker 1: year of not playing football. Who knows how much he

761
00:38:07,320 --> 00:38:10,800
Speaker 1: was training. There's no doubt, not during the off season,

762
00:38:10,880 --> 00:38:14,480
Speaker 1: but he will be ready, like there's no doubt. Oh yeah,

763
00:38:14,520 --> 00:38:18,040
Speaker 1: for sure. All right, but before we take a break,

764
00:38:18,520 --> 00:38:22,000
Speaker 1: I'll give a little teaser for you guys. The kicker

765
00:38:22,760 --> 00:38:26,520
Speaker 1: what's up with this position? People? You know, some people

766
00:38:26,560 --> 00:38:29,360
Speaker 1: tend to forget, some others not. They will remind you

767
00:38:29,400 --> 00:38:32,680
Speaker 1: on Twitter, like what's up with the kicker position? Bret

768
00:38:32,680 --> 00:38:35,120
Speaker 1: Maher and all that jazz. So when we come back,

769
00:38:35,120 --> 00:38:39,000
Speaker 1: we'll dig into that whole topic. Well, the player could

770
00:38:39,040 --> 00:38:41,400
Speaker 1: look good on paper, it's when he's out on the

771
00:38:41,400 --> 00:38:43,680
Speaker 1: field that you really find out what he's made of.

772
00:38:44,280 --> 00:38:47,080
Speaker 1: That's why the Cowboys rely on more than just stats

773
00:38:47,080 --> 00:38:51,040
Speaker 1: and scouting reports when building their team. When picking a tractor,

774
00:38:51,320 --> 00:38:53,640
Speaker 1: it's why you should rely on more than just specs

775
00:38:53,640 --> 00:38:56,239
Speaker 1: and features. You've got to take it out and put

776
00:38:56,280 --> 00:38:58,919
Speaker 1: it to the test. The Cowboys did when they named

777
00:38:59,000 --> 00:39:03,040
Speaker 1: John Dear. There are fitial tractor experience one for yourself.

00:41:05,920 --> 00:41:10,600
Speaker 1: Back to the break, all right, welcome back. We've basically

816
00:41:10,880 --> 00:41:15,359
Speaker 1: talked about every position of need and not of need

817
00:41:15,560 --> 00:41:20,040
Speaker 1: for the Cowboys. So what's up with the kicker? That

818
00:41:20,200 --> 00:41:22,920
Speaker 1: is one that we haven't really discussed. Is there still

819
00:41:23,000 --> 00:41:25,640
Speaker 1: a position of need that you see that the Cowboys

820
00:41:25,680 --> 00:41:32,160
Speaker 1: shoot address through the draft or somehow? Man, I'm reluctant

821
00:41:32,160 --> 00:41:35,200
Speaker 1: to comment because this time last year I was like

822
00:41:35,360 --> 00:41:38,440
Speaker 1: shut up about getting rid of Dan Bailey, Like stop. Okay,

823
00:41:38,480 --> 00:41:42,160
Speaker 1: he struggled down the stretch. Whatever, he'll be here, Nope,

824
00:41:43,480 --> 00:41:46,000
Speaker 1: Like you learned some valuable lessons the last couple of

825
00:41:46,080 --> 00:41:49,120
Speaker 1: years covering this team, Like you can't really bound count

826
00:41:49,160 --> 00:41:54,360
Speaker 1: on anything to last longer than the next six months.

827
00:41:54,440 --> 00:41:58,000
Speaker 1: We're going to watch the practices and we're going to

828
00:41:58,040 --> 00:42:02,040
Speaker 1: watch the kicking attempts and practice. The Sierra training camp

829
00:42:02,040 --> 00:42:04,799
Speaker 1: will definitely pay attention. I have a couple I have

830
00:42:04,840 --> 00:42:08,640
Speaker 1: a couple of thoughts. One, I just have this feeling

831
00:42:08,719 --> 00:42:11,960
Speaker 1: that Jason Garrett and and the and then by proxy

832
00:42:12,000 --> 00:42:15,279
Speaker 1: the front office like they have more faith in good

833
00:42:15,360 --> 00:42:19,160
Speaker 1: Brett Maher than the brat bad Brett Maher. Like we

834
00:42:19,239 --> 00:42:22,799
Speaker 1: he was brilliant at times last year, he had struggles.

835
00:42:22,800 --> 00:42:25,680
Speaker 1: He was inconsistent, especially down the stretch of the season.

836
00:42:26,320 --> 00:42:28,919
Speaker 1: I just feel like they have more faith in him

837
00:42:28,960 --> 00:42:33,840
Speaker 1: than the average fan or media member does. One. Two,

838
00:42:35,280 --> 00:42:39,040
Speaker 1: this team has found great players without using draft capital.

839
00:42:39,080 --> 00:42:42,120
Speaker 1: At the kicker position. Dan Bailey was undrafted, Brett Maher

840
00:42:42,239 --> 00:42:46,240
Speaker 1: was undrafted. That covers like the last decade of cowboy kickers.

841
00:42:46,320 --> 00:42:49,200
Speaker 1: I'm only drafted quick kicker that I can think of

842
00:42:49,320 --> 00:42:52,200
Speaker 1: was David Bieler, and he really wasn't that good? Where did?

843
00:42:52,440 --> 00:42:56,839
Speaker 1: Where did? Folk? Was somebody else's raft, but not by

844
00:42:56,880 --> 00:42:59,239
Speaker 1: the Cowboy by Yeah, for some reason, I thought he

845
00:42:59,280 --> 00:43:00,799
Speaker 1: was drafted by the Jet. No, he went to the

846
00:43:00,840 --> 00:43:03,200
Speaker 1: Jets after. Yeah, he was drasted by the Cowboys. You're right,

847
00:43:03,280 --> 00:43:06,120
Speaker 1: but either I mean, okay, So even if you're talking

848
00:43:06,160 --> 00:43:08,600
Speaker 1: about drafting one, mean, the last kicker that was drafted

849
00:43:08,680 --> 00:43:12,920
Speaker 1: high was a GUYO and that was a miserable failure. Yeah,

850
00:43:13,160 --> 00:43:16,480
Speaker 1: just Janikowski was, I mean, he was pretty damn good.

851
00:43:16,600 --> 00:43:20,240
Speaker 1: But so the expectation here is that definitely they're bringing

852
00:43:20,400 --> 00:43:23,399
Speaker 1: somebody to out of competition and all that stuff. I'd

853
00:43:23,400 --> 00:43:27,200
Speaker 1: practice training camp. I would be fairly surprised if they

854
00:43:27,320 --> 00:43:30,440
Speaker 1: draft a kicker. There's only two that are worth it,

855
00:43:30,960 --> 00:43:34,399
Speaker 1: probably Siebert out of Oklahoma and then Cole Tracy out

856
00:43:34,400 --> 00:43:37,799
Speaker 1: of LSU. I would be pretty surprised, especially like you've

857
00:43:37,800 --> 00:43:40,120
Speaker 1: only got six picks as it stands right now. I

858
00:43:40,120 --> 00:43:41,759
Speaker 1: would be surprised if they spent one of those on

859
00:43:41,800 --> 00:43:45,600
Speaker 1: a kicker. There will assuredly be a guy here in

860
00:43:45,680 --> 00:43:48,799
Speaker 1: training camp. I wouldn't. I wouldn't. I wouldn't draft one

861
00:43:48,840 --> 00:43:54,520
Speaker 1: because because Brett Maher, like you said, there's good, there's

862
00:43:54,640 --> 00:43:57,879
Speaker 1: there's some shaky moments for sure, But I think you're

863
00:43:57,880 --> 00:44:00,840
Speaker 1: bringing a guy in, You're finding a guy wasn't drafted,

864
00:44:01,200 --> 00:44:03,480
Speaker 1: and you're gonna see if he's better. And he might be,

865
00:44:03,520 --> 00:44:05,400
Speaker 1: he might outperform him at camp. But I don't think

866
00:44:05,440 --> 00:44:08,120
Speaker 1: it's worth a pick to do that, because if you

867
00:44:08,160 --> 00:44:09,640
Speaker 1: are going to make a pick, then you're making that

868
00:44:09,760 --> 00:44:12,560
Speaker 1: decision right now. Like if you're a team, like let's

869
00:44:12,560 --> 00:44:15,120
Speaker 1: say the Bears that obviously let go of their kicker

870
00:44:15,160 --> 00:44:18,080
Speaker 1: and their season ended because miss miss kicks, then yeah,

871
00:44:18,080 --> 00:44:19,960
Speaker 1: you draft a guy and that's that's the kicker. But

872
00:44:20,000 --> 00:44:21,640
Speaker 1: I don't think you would even draft one and he

873
00:44:21,640 --> 00:44:24,880
Speaker 1: would be better. The word Remember when the word that

874
00:44:24,920 --> 00:44:27,120
Speaker 1: came out after they cut Dan Bailey. You know, you

875
00:44:27,160 --> 00:44:29,879
Speaker 1: have conversations and you know, whispers start to get around.

876
00:44:29,920 --> 00:44:32,000
Speaker 1: It's like they were worried about his mindset. They're worried

877
00:44:32,000 --> 00:44:35,320
Speaker 1: about his confidence, felt like he was out of his routine,

878
00:44:35,440 --> 00:44:37,840
Speaker 1: felt like, you know, he didn't have that belief that

879
00:44:37,840 --> 00:44:40,600
Speaker 1: you would prefer a kicker to have. And everything I've

880
00:44:40,640 --> 00:44:42,879
Speaker 1: ever heard Jason Garrett say about Bret Maher is he's

881
00:44:42,920 --> 00:44:46,640
Speaker 1: the exact opposite. Like he missed like a long kick

882
00:44:46,680 --> 00:44:48,239
Speaker 1: in a gay. I don't remember, you know, I don't

883
00:44:48,280 --> 00:44:50,600
Speaker 1: remember which game right now, but you know I heard

884
00:44:50,640 --> 00:44:52,600
Speaker 1: somebody say after the game he was just like right

885
00:44:52,640 --> 00:44:54,719
Speaker 1: back at it, like I'll drill it from sixty two.

886
00:44:54,719 --> 00:44:56,279
Speaker 1: If you give me another shot, like get me back

887
00:44:56,280 --> 00:44:58,719
Speaker 1: on the field, I'll do it. And I think his

888
00:44:58,880 --> 00:45:01,680
Speaker 1: belief and his you know, to borrow a word from

889
00:45:01,719 --> 00:45:05,040
Speaker 1: Garrett Process, I think they have a lot of confidence

890
00:45:05,080 --> 00:45:07,600
Speaker 1: in him and belief that he can do it. That

891
00:45:07,640 --> 00:45:09,920
Speaker 1: they lost with Dan Bailey towards the end of his

892
00:45:09,960 --> 00:45:12,279
Speaker 1: time here, and I think that counts for a lot

893
00:45:12,280 --> 00:45:14,560
Speaker 1: with them. Like so, I think there's more belief on

894
00:45:14,640 --> 00:45:17,440
Speaker 1: their part in Brett Maher than, like I said, than

895
00:45:17,600 --> 00:45:19,400
Speaker 1: we or maybe the fans have. Here are some of

896
00:45:19,400 --> 00:45:23,640
Speaker 1: the concerns that I have though, is that the fifty

897
00:45:23,680 --> 00:45:28,759
Speaker 1: nine and sixty two yard field goals that almost hurts them.

898
00:45:29,080 --> 00:45:33,400
Speaker 1: It almost hurts the situation because those aren't normal. It

899
00:45:33,480 --> 00:45:35,480
Speaker 1: has to be the end of the half or whatever.

900
00:45:35,800 --> 00:45:38,919
Speaker 1: And yeah, you can try it, but for the most part,

901
00:45:38,960 --> 00:45:41,839
Speaker 1: you're not trying a field goal like that. I want

902
00:45:41,880 --> 00:45:44,319
Speaker 1: to know what he can do between thirty and forty. Well,

903
00:45:44,320 --> 00:45:47,120
Speaker 1: that's sure point the joke. The joke is that he'll

904
00:45:47,360 --> 00:45:51,399
Speaker 1: just nail it from sixty two but miss from thirty eight, right,

905
00:45:51,480 --> 00:45:55,239
Speaker 1: which that's scary. So I get it. I'm you know,

906
00:45:55,360 --> 00:45:58,880
Speaker 1: I understand people's concerns. I would like him to have

907
00:45:58,920 --> 00:46:01,840
Speaker 1: some healthy competition and training camp, but just the nature

908
00:46:01,920 --> 00:46:04,879
Speaker 1: of the position, I would be surprised if because how

909
00:46:05,480 --> 00:46:08,000
Speaker 1: like you see a kicker get drafted like once every

910
00:46:08,040 --> 00:46:10,600
Speaker 1: other year or you know once a draft, like it

911
00:46:10,640 --> 00:46:13,640
Speaker 1: just doesn't happen that often. So I think they'll just

912
00:46:13,719 --> 00:46:16,040
Speaker 1: find a guy in college and you know, undrafted free

913
00:46:16,080 --> 00:46:19,160
Speaker 1: agency to come in and compete with him. And then

914
00:46:19,160 --> 00:46:23,200
Speaker 1: and then it'll probably be a guy that does some punting. Yeah,

915
00:46:23,239 --> 00:46:26,279
Speaker 1: it'll that that can punt some and kick that can

916
00:46:26,400 --> 00:46:29,360
Speaker 1: he can have one extra guy that can help Chris Jones.

917
00:46:29,440 --> 00:46:32,920
Speaker 1: It can also help Maher he can kick off some.

918
00:46:33,600 --> 00:46:36,000
Speaker 1: So but that's kind of the way Maher was. He

919
00:46:36,080 --> 00:46:37,600
Speaker 1: was just a guy that could do a little bit

920
00:46:37,600 --> 00:46:41,000
Speaker 1: of everything. And for five years we were just like, Okay,

921
00:46:41,040 --> 00:46:43,239
Speaker 1: this is the guy that's gonna spell Dan Bailey every

922
00:46:43,239 --> 00:46:48,000
Speaker 1: other day, and like nobody literally nobody realized. I don't

923
00:46:48,040 --> 00:46:50,640
Speaker 1: think they didn't even realize that he might take his job.

924
00:46:50,760 --> 00:46:52,560
Speaker 1: So it's just something we're gonna have to pay closer

925
00:46:52,560 --> 00:46:54,919
Speaker 1: attention to this show. And and I like that from

926
00:46:55,000 --> 00:46:57,960
Speaker 1: from the standpoint of training camp. And you know, sometimes

927
00:46:58,239 --> 00:47:00,480
Speaker 1: you go out there, We've been going there for many

928
00:47:00,600 --> 00:47:04,440
Speaker 1: years and it's a it's routine. Yes, it's it's different players,

929
00:47:05,000 --> 00:47:07,800
Speaker 1: but it's it's a routine. We sit the same spot.

930
00:47:08,120 --> 00:47:10,720
Speaker 1: You know, the weather is about the same, it's always sunny,

931
00:47:10,760 --> 00:47:13,040
Speaker 1: and it's always about the same thing. We kind of

932
00:47:13,080 --> 00:47:15,440
Speaker 1: just take up. Here's the guy that's gonna kick a

933
00:47:15,440 --> 00:47:17,200
Speaker 1: little bit and we don't even need to know his name.

934
00:47:18,120 --> 00:47:21,200
Speaker 1: That's not happening this year. Remember another position? Yeah, I

935
00:47:21,239 --> 00:47:23,520
Speaker 1: remember I watched him last year at training camp and

936
00:47:23,560 --> 00:47:25,840
Speaker 1: now and he missed a few and I was like, oh,

937
00:47:25,880 --> 00:47:29,040
Speaker 1: this guy sucks. And I'm like, Okay, Dan Bailey, he's

938
00:47:29,080 --> 00:47:32,960
Speaker 1: gonna be fine because the kicker position. It's I like

939
00:47:33,080 --> 00:47:37,239
Speaker 1: the kicker position. And obviously I'm a I guess I'm

940
00:47:37,280 --> 00:47:39,839
Speaker 1: still him a fan of Dan Bailey, and I still

941
00:47:39,840 --> 00:47:42,520
Speaker 1: have a supposter up there on my desk. Maybe she

942
00:47:42,480 --> 00:47:46,520
Speaker 1: should replace it, but um, I remember watching it. Here's

943
00:47:46,640 --> 00:47:48,719
Speaker 1: here's also a difference too from last year to this

944
00:47:48,800 --> 00:47:52,040
Speaker 1: year when he got the job. What was the number

945
00:47:52,080 --> 00:47:55,600
Speaker 1: one question that we had about this guy? Oh god,

946
00:47:55,719 --> 00:47:59,000
Speaker 1: I don't remember. He set me up to fail here. Well,

947
00:47:59,040 --> 00:48:01,160
Speaker 1: how do you say his name? Are you? Yeah? Oh?

948
00:48:01,280 --> 00:48:03,080
Speaker 1: No one even knew how to say his mother. It's Ma,

949
00:48:03,400 --> 00:48:08,720
Speaker 1: it's mahr its her. No one knew that won't happen

950
00:48:08,840 --> 00:48:11,960
Speaker 1: this year, like whoever it is. And my point is

951
00:48:12,000 --> 00:48:14,000
Speaker 1: we didn't even get to know his name. We didn't care.

952
00:48:14,160 --> 00:48:17,560
Speaker 1: Shout out all my Nebraska cowboy fans that knew, but

953
00:48:17,640 --> 00:48:21,560
Speaker 1: nobody else did. Yeah her ma, Ma, I thought it

954
00:48:21,600 --> 00:48:26,719
Speaker 1: was Mary. But my expectation, my personal expectations, are that

955
00:48:27,000 --> 00:48:30,759
Speaker 1: whoever comes in here and I practice and all that,

956
00:48:30,840 --> 00:48:33,759
Speaker 1: it's still not going to be someone that would win

957
00:48:34,000 --> 00:48:37,680
Speaker 1: the job over him. Right, so the fans should most

958
00:48:37,719 --> 00:48:45,000
Speaker 1: likely expect to That just contradicts everything we just said. No, no, okay,

959
00:48:46,000 --> 00:48:48,880
Speaker 1: you never know what can happen. Clearly what happened with

960
00:48:48,960 --> 00:48:52,759
Speaker 1: Dian Bailey, it's a clear example of Bret maher had.

961
00:48:52,920 --> 00:48:55,120
Speaker 1: He was brilliant at times last year. And if he's

962
00:48:55,160 --> 00:48:57,960
Speaker 1: the guy, that's fine, but I'm not gonna take him.

963
00:48:57,960 --> 00:49:02,799
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna assume anything. I am why we just

964
00:49:02,880 --> 00:49:05,319
Speaker 1: had this converence like it's literally, I mean, you're only

965
00:49:05,360 --> 00:49:07,719
Speaker 1: as good as your last kick training. I mean, if

966
00:49:08,080 --> 00:49:10,760
Speaker 1: if Dan Bailey can get the acts, then Bred Maher

967
00:49:10,880 --> 00:49:14,759
Speaker 1: definitely can. Yep, we'll see, I guess, and they have

968
00:49:16,320 --> 00:49:20,840
Speaker 1: a good team that do a good job of picking

969
00:49:21,239 --> 00:49:25,200
Speaker 1: kickers and guys on that position and guys I care.

970
00:49:25,320 --> 00:49:28,040
Speaker 1: But all right, we'll see what happens there. I don't

971
00:49:28,040 --> 00:49:29,920
Speaker 1: know what to believe. I don't know what to expect

972
00:49:29,960 --> 00:49:32,600
Speaker 1: at this point. You just confused me. I agree with.

973
00:49:33,960 --> 00:49:35,879
Speaker 1: I think the difference is that you're going to see

974
00:49:36,000 --> 00:49:40,279
Speaker 1: is um. You know, Bailey didn't want to kick a

975
00:49:40,280 --> 00:49:44,000
Speaker 1: lot in the preseason. If the operation isn't normal for him,

976
00:49:44,040 --> 00:49:47,200
Speaker 1: if it's not LP to Chris Jones, and then the kick,

977
00:49:47,640 --> 00:49:49,960
Speaker 1: he didn't want to do it. And for different reasons.

978
00:49:50,360 --> 00:49:54,560
Speaker 1: Why you have to play the different alignments and special

979
00:49:54,560 --> 00:49:57,640
Speaker 1: teams first team, second team and all that stuff, so

980
00:49:58,560 --> 00:50:00,920
Speaker 1: are all that jazz. So you know, he didn't get

981
00:50:00,920 --> 00:50:04,359
Speaker 1: to kick as much with the first team guys, and

982
00:50:04,400 --> 00:50:07,480
Speaker 1: so it rattled Dan. I don't think that. I don't

983
00:50:07,480 --> 00:50:11,520
Speaker 1: think he's kicked in the CFL Saskatchewan. He doesn't really care.

984
00:50:11,560 --> 00:50:13,399
Speaker 1: I think it'd be fine, And so I think he's

985
00:50:13,400 --> 00:50:16,640
Speaker 1: gonna take all the kicks that he can until they

986
00:50:16,960 --> 00:50:18,680
Speaker 1: decide they want to get another kicker in there. So

987
00:50:18,760 --> 00:50:21,560
Speaker 1: he's gonna have every opportunity to win or lose this job. Yeah.

988
00:50:21,560 --> 00:50:24,879
Speaker 1: And the reason why I really said that my expectations

989
00:50:24,920 --> 00:50:28,520
Speaker 1: would be for him to most likely keep his job

990
00:50:28,640 --> 00:50:31,719
Speaker 1: is because of what you said about Garrett and what

991
00:50:31,800 --> 00:50:33,880
Speaker 1: they'd like about his mentality and a lot of the

992
00:50:33,920 --> 00:50:37,399
Speaker 1: things that we've seen from this team is that when

993
00:50:37,440 --> 00:50:39,960
Speaker 1: they have a guy that they like their mentality and stuff,

994
00:50:40,000 --> 00:50:42,360
Speaker 1: they will back that guy up no matter why. To

995
00:50:42,600 --> 00:50:45,120
Speaker 1: be clear, I think Brett Maher will be the kicker

996
00:50:45,600 --> 00:50:48,080
Speaker 1: when Week one finally kicks off. Yeah, but I'm not

997
00:50:48,120 --> 00:50:50,560
Speaker 1: going to go into training camp assuming anything after what

998
00:50:50,600 --> 00:50:54,839
Speaker 1: happened last year exactly. Okay, this is a question from

999
00:50:54,880 --> 00:50:58,160
Speaker 1: Brian ernand this is there any chance at all that

1000
00:50:58,239 --> 00:51:03,160
Speaker 1: the Cowboys talked to Cleveland about Duke Johnson? We kind

1001
00:51:03,160 --> 00:51:05,759
Speaker 1: of mentioned that in the first segment. Kind of what

1002
00:51:05,880 --> 00:51:08,520
Speaker 1: Nick said at the top is at this the draft

1003
00:51:08,640 --> 00:51:11,200
Speaker 1: is three weeks away, and so I think it's all

1004
00:51:11,239 --> 00:51:14,560
Speaker 1: hands on deck trying to make sure your draft strategies implemented.

1005
00:51:15,000 --> 00:51:18,640
Speaker 1: They've done enough that they feel good about everything. You know,

1006
00:51:18,880 --> 00:51:21,640
Speaker 1: if if the draft doesn't go your way, maybe you

1007
00:51:21,719 --> 00:51:24,560
Speaker 1: revisit that um or. Like I said, you know, there's

1008
00:51:24,600 --> 00:51:26,720
Speaker 1: there's some veterans and free agency that you can acquire.

1009
00:51:26,760 --> 00:51:29,480
Speaker 1: I'd be surprised if they did that right now. You

1010
00:51:29,520 --> 00:51:32,120
Speaker 1: know what what could happen too, is is you get

1011
00:51:32,160 --> 00:51:36,160
Speaker 1: to the fourth or fifth round and you're like, you

1012
00:51:36,200 --> 00:51:38,160
Speaker 1: haven't got the running back that you want. It's true

1013
00:51:38,160 --> 00:51:42,960
Speaker 1: they swapped Switzer for Tavon on that Hey, you know,

1014
00:51:43,000 --> 00:51:45,239
Speaker 1: we know what Cleveland probably would like to have the

1015
00:51:45,280 --> 00:51:47,759
Speaker 1: pick here and definitely you know, to trade their guy.

1016
00:51:48,239 --> 00:51:51,680
Speaker 1: Is these guys that were about to pick from would

1017
00:51:51,680 --> 00:51:54,480
Speaker 1: this guy help us more? And obviously it'd be more expensive,

1018
00:51:54,560 --> 00:51:56,719
Speaker 1: but you know, is it worth it to do that round?

1019
00:51:56,760 --> 00:51:58,720
Speaker 1: So I could see it being a maybe a draft

1020
00:51:58,800 --> 00:52:02,880
Speaker 1: day thing. I think they've got They've got a small

1021
00:52:02,960 --> 00:52:05,560
Speaker 1: number of targets that they feel really good about, and

1022
00:52:06,480 --> 00:52:10,200
Speaker 1: I think they're going to focus on that until something changes,

1023
00:52:10,360 --> 00:52:13,239
Speaker 1: That's my guess. And you could do the you could

1024
00:52:13,239 --> 00:52:15,120
Speaker 1: do the Duke Johnson deal when the drafts over, too.

1025
00:52:15,160 --> 00:52:18,000
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, if you know Cleveland's got Chubb

1026
00:52:18,080 --> 00:52:20,359
Speaker 1: and at some point they'll have Kareem Hunt, and if

1027
00:52:20,400 --> 00:52:22,640
Speaker 1: I mean if they're hell bent on dealing him, I

1028
00:52:22,640 --> 00:52:24,680
Speaker 1: think they would do it for twenty twenty pick the

1029
00:52:24,719 --> 00:52:28,319
Speaker 1: same way the Dolphins did. All Right, here's a fun

1030
00:52:28,360 --> 00:52:31,520
Speaker 1: little question. Which side of the ball do you expect

1031
00:52:31,560 --> 00:52:34,760
Speaker 1: to take the biggest jump this season? Given the recent

1032
00:52:34,960 --> 00:52:40,080
Speaker 1: editions or returns. You got Quinn law the Marcus Lawrence.

1033
00:52:40,160 --> 00:52:44,279
Speaker 1: Laying Vanders Smith with a full season could be legendary.

1034
00:52:44,440 --> 00:52:49,440
Speaker 1: But we also have Amari Cooper, Cobb, Dack and possibly

1035
00:52:49,960 --> 00:52:53,000
Speaker 1: the return of Frederick came doing well back in the

1036
00:52:53,080 --> 00:52:56,680
Speaker 1: mix and Witten. It had well and Witten. That's another one.

1037
00:52:56,760 --> 00:53:00,279
Speaker 1: It had better be the offense because the offense was

1038
00:53:00,400 --> 00:53:03,960
Speaker 1: bad last year and the offense is getting an all

1039
00:53:03,960 --> 00:53:06,640
Speaker 1: Pro center back. We'll just we'll assume Travis Frederick is

1040
00:53:06,960 --> 00:53:10,439
Speaker 1: Travis Frederick. You know a lot to still do there,

1041
00:53:10,480 --> 00:53:13,680
Speaker 1: but you're getting Travis Frederick back on that offensive line.

1042
00:53:13,800 --> 00:53:17,840
Speaker 1: You're adding Randall Cobb, who I think can significantly upgrade

1043
00:53:17,840 --> 00:53:21,200
Speaker 1: your slot production. No offense to Cole Beasley, another year

1044
00:53:21,200 --> 00:53:23,520
Speaker 1: of Amari Cooper. He'll be at training camp this time.

1045
00:53:26,239 --> 00:53:28,040
Speaker 1: You will, one way or another, you'll have a better

1046
00:53:28,040 --> 00:53:30,320
Speaker 1: backup running back, I think than what you've had the

1047
00:53:30,400 --> 00:53:33,080
Speaker 1: last couple of years, and that's where you need to

1048
00:53:33,080 --> 00:53:35,200
Speaker 1: see the improvement. On top of that, you know, Derek's

1049
00:53:35,239 --> 00:53:38,960
Speaker 1: not here to plug Robert Quinn as Reggie White. But

1050
00:53:39,320 --> 00:53:43,000
Speaker 1: if DeMarcus Lawrence, that situation scares the crap out of me,

1051
00:53:43,080 --> 00:53:45,800
Speaker 1: because you're taught. I mean, right now, I'm not confident

1052
00:53:45,840 --> 00:53:49,040
Speaker 1: he's going to be completely healthy when the season starts.

1053
00:53:49,160 --> 00:53:51,359
Speaker 1: That's I mean, as it stands right now. I don't

1054
00:53:51,360 --> 00:53:53,480
Speaker 1: know how you can feel confident about that. And if

1055
00:53:53,480 --> 00:53:56,280
Speaker 1: he's not there, the defense won't be as good. Derek

1056
00:53:56,320 --> 00:53:58,279
Speaker 1: doesn't want to hear that that's okay. He's not here

1057
00:53:58,320 --> 00:54:01,600
Speaker 1: to defend himself. I think that the defense will actually

1058
00:54:01,680 --> 00:54:06,040
Speaker 1: be better than the I mean obviously better than the offense,

1059
00:54:06,360 --> 00:54:09,719
Speaker 1: because I think that it is a better unit. But

1060
00:54:09,800 --> 00:54:12,200
Speaker 1: I do think that they're going to improve as well.

1061
00:54:12,840 --> 00:54:15,239
Speaker 1: I think the linebackers are going to be even even better,

1062
00:54:15,400 --> 00:54:17,920
Speaker 1: more dynamic, and I think Quinn will help and I

1063
00:54:17,960 --> 00:54:22,160
Speaker 1: do believed law Quinn will both be there together. I

1064
00:54:22,200 --> 00:54:24,200
Speaker 1: don't I'm not saying I wish they would have done

1065
00:54:24,200 --> 00:54:27,279
Speaker 1: something a little bit better in safety, but didn't happen again.

1066
00:54:27,480 --> 00:54:30,400
Speaker 1: The street continues. Well, keep in mind, I mean the

1067
00:54:30,520 --> 00:54:32,839
Speaker 1: draft is still there. Draft is there, but the top

1068
00:54:32,920 --> 00:54:35,239
Speaker 1: sixty pick is added to the safety position. You might

1069
00:54:35,239 --> 00:54:38,000
Speaker 1: feel better. I might. I might. And they haven't really

1070
00:54:38,400 --> 00:54:41,000
Speaker 1: drafted a safety in the second round. Am I missing someone?

1071
00:54:41,080 --> 00:54:43,799
Speaker 1: I can't really last. The highest pick they've spent on

1072
00:54:43,800 --> 00:54:46,400
Speaker 1: a safety in recent memory was Wilcox and that was

1073
00:54:46,600 --> 00:54:48,680
Speaker 1: played running back for three years of his career. Pick

1074
00:54:48,719 --> 00:54:51,960
Speaker 1: eighty five, Yeah, pick eighty seven, something like that. Well,

1075
00:54:52,000 --> 00:54:54,480
Speaker 1: maybe maybe that's what they do. Maybe they just say, hey,

1076
00:54:54,600 --> 00:54:57,840
Speaker 1: second round, we're packing, we're taking a safety. Maybe you

1077
00:54:57,880 --> 00:55:01,840
Speaker 1: know you said it earlier, asked earlier. If they're gonna

1078
00:55:01,880 --> 00:55:04,839
Speaker 1: move up for a guy, I could see them moving up.

1079
00:55:04,880 --> 00:55:07,600
Speaker 1: If if Abraham is sitting there, I could see them

1080
00:55:07,600 --> 00:55:10,640
Speaker 1: maybe moving up for him, because he does seem like

1081
00:55:10,640 --> 00:55:16,120
Speaker 1: a dynamic type of player, kind of an I wouldn't

1082
00:55:16,120 --> 00:55:18,880
Speaker 1: say Eric Berry type, but I mean he's like a

1083
00:55:18,920 --> 00:55:22,879
Speaker 1: linebacker type guy that they can play safety. He would

1084
00:55:22,880 --> 00:55:25,120
Speaker 1: be an interesting guy for me. But I wonder if

1085
00:55:25,120 --> 00:55:27,680
Speaker 1: they'd move up for a pass rusher if this Lawrence

1086
00:55:27,760 --> 00:55:30,680
Speaker 1: thing doesn't fix itself real soon, Like I mean, they

1087
00:55:30,719 --> 00:55:34,279
Speaker 1: did that for DeMarcus Lawrence, the which which Brian brought

1088
00:55:34,320 --> 00:55:35,759
Speaker 1: us was here so I could yell at him too.

1089
00:55:35,880 --> 00:55:37,879
Speaker 1: They trade it up for DeMarcus Lawrence because they said

1090
00:55:37,920 --> 00:55:39,359
Speaker 1: he was the last guy on their board who could

1091
00:55:39,360 --> 00:55:41,279
Speaker 1: play right end. And now I'm supposed to believe that

1092
00:55:41,320 --> 00:55:42,880
Speaker 1: he can only play left end and he's not as

1093
00:55:42,880 --> 00:55:44,640
Speaker 1: good because he can't play on the right side. That's

1094
00:55:44,640 --> 00:55:48,319
Speaker 1: a bowl. Yeah, so maybe they maybe they trade up

1095
00:55:48,360 --> 00:55:49,960
Speaker 1: to get a guy if they really don't feel good

1096
00:55:50,000 --> 00:55:55,560
Speaker 1: about this DeMarcus Lawrence thing, because that I just mark

1097
00:55:55,600 --> 00:55:57,279
Speaker 1: it down. I said this last week, mark it down.

1098
00:55:57,520 --> 00:56:00,000
Speaker 1: Quote me, I don't care. If he's not on this team,

1099
00:56:00,040 --> 00:56:02,480
Speaker 1: even healthy, the defense won't be as good. It just

1100
00:56:02,520 --> 00:56:04,640
Speaker 1: won't be I don't And and that's I'm not trying

1101
00:56:04,640 --> 00:56:08,719
Speaker 1: to disrespect the linebackers or anybody else, but difference making

1102
00:56:08,760 --> 00:56:11,880
Speaker 1: pass rushers are a big deal. They make a difference,

1103
00:56:11,920 --> 00:56:14,960
Speaker 1: They do the work. Difference is right. Yeah, So when

1104
00:56:14,960 --> 00:56:17,319
Speaker 1: they're not there, yeah, they're a big big deal. Ye

1105
00:56:18,680 --> 00:56:22,040
Speaker 1: you no, we're running out of time, but they'll let

1106
00:56:22,080 --> 00:56:25,120
Speaker 1: me think. I'm like when you said you would think

1107
00:56:25,280 --> 00:56:29,200
Speaker 1: they would go for a pass rusher, I mean, let

1108
00:56:29,360 --> 00:56:32,120
Speaker 1: you know, you can't have enough. They're far apart. They're

1109
00:56:32,200 --> 00:56:34,880
Speaker 1: they're they're far, they're they're apart on a deal. To

1110
00:56:34,920 --> 00:56:37,399
Speaker 1: quote Stephen Jones, they're at an impass. As far as

1111
00:56:37,440 --> 00:56:40,279
Speaker 1: we know, the guy's not planning on getting surgery. It's

1112
00:56:40,280 --> 00:56:42,920
Speaker 1: a lengthy recovery. He was probably going to be limited

1113
00:56:43,000 --> 00:56:46,080
Speaker 1: to training camp anyway. He definitely will be if he

1114
00:56:46,120 --> 00:56:49,560
Speaker 1: waits much longer to have it. Gregory suspended, Gregory suspended,

1115
00:56:50,520 --> 00:56:56,400
Speaker 1: I don't know that yet. Suspended. Well, yeah, you know

1116
00:56:56,480 --> 00:57:00,239
Speaker 1: that Cowboys are hopeful he is suspended as of right now.

1117
00:57:00,320 --> 00:57:02,520
Speaker 1: That's an insert. I mean, you know, definitely if this,

1118
00:57:02,680 --> 00:57:05,040
Speaker 1: if this DeMarcus thing goes all the way up to it,

1119
00:57:05,080 --> 00:57:07,440
Speaker 1: I mean, like you know, and I have no idea,

1120
00:57:07,560 --> 00:57:10,200
Speaker 1: but they could resend the tag, they could trade him,

1121
00:57:10,640 --> 00:57:13,280
Speaker 1: they could sign him, but then he's out until October

1122
00:57:13,280 --> 00:57:16,320
Speaker 1: because he needs to have surgery. And then let's also

1123
00:57:16,360 --> 00:57:18,640
Speaker 1: say could draft the defensive end to try to offset that.

1124
00:57:18,880 --> 00:57:22,800
Speaker 1: Even if he comes and signs tomorrow. Okay, and and

1125
00:57:22,800 --> 00:57:26,280
Speaker 1: and Gregory isn't not suspended. Let's just have this best

1126
00:57:26,280 --> 00:57:29,880
Speaker 1: case scenario, and Taco even plays well, they all play well.

1127
00:57:30,480 --> 00:57:33,400
Speaker 1: Quinn is probably one year deal. He yeah, he can

1128
00:57:33,440 --> 00:57:36,840
Speaker 1: go ye, and then you still kind of need somebody

1129
00:57:36,880 --> 00:57:39,200
Speaker 1: there because because you're getting to the point with Gregory,

1130
00:57:39,840 --> 00:57:42,080
Speaker 1: you know where his contracts going to be up there too,

1131
00:57:42,080 --> 00:57:44,400
Speaker 1: So it makes sense that you can always if there's

1132
00:57:44,440 --> 00:57:47,400
Speaker 1: a good pass rusher, keep them coming. But if the

1133
00:57:47,440 --> 00:57:50,400
Speaker 1: DeMarcus situation is murky even more, like I've been more,

1134
00:57:50,520 --> 00:57:53,640
Speaker 1: I would trade significant assets if a guy that I

1135
00:57:53,680 --> 00:57:56,080
Speaker 1: felt good about was there. I don't think that's likely

1136
00:57:56,600 --> 00:57:59,120
Speaker 1: based on how late they're picking, but hopefully they'll be

1137
00:57:59,160 --> 00:58:02,000
Speaker 1: able to do a better evaluation on that position this year,

1138
00:58:02,040 --> 00:58:05,200
Speaker 1: because it's disappointing that they spent the first round on

1139
00:58:05,400 --> 00:58:10,080
Speaker 1: Taco recently and this is just really paid off. Maybe,

1140
00:58:10,120 --> 00:58:12,680
Speaker 1: you know, maybe we'll be sitting back in October like, well,

1141
00:58:12,720 --> 00:58:15,360
Speaker 1: if we've known Taco was gonna have a ten sacks season,

1142
00:58:16,200 --> 00:58:18,320
Speaker 1: then we wouldn't have been whining about this all spring.

1143
00:58:18,560 --> 00:58:23,640
Speaker 1: Fingers crossed, any things possible, Taco, you go there, you go. Well,

1144
00:58:23,680 --> 00:58:27,040
Speaker 1: thank you guys so much for joining us again for Nicki, Mint,
