Uh yeah, Cowboys are losing Tyrannt 0:01:32.080 --> 0:01:34.440 Smith to the New York Jets, of course, Jonathan Hankins 0:01:34.440 --> 0:01:35.319 signing a one year. 0:01:35.200 --> 0:01:36.160 Deal with the Seahawks. 0:01:36.720 --> 0:01:38.479 Let's y'all just take aways, man, I mean, and this. 0:01:38.480 --> 0:01:43.400 Is obviously two big losses for this Cowboys franchise and moving. 0:01:43.160 --> 0:01:47.160 Forward, big shoes to fill for both of them. 0:01:47.440 --> 0:01:47.960 Yess. 0:01:49.320 --> 0:01:53.600 I tweeted this because when I got the notion the 0:01:53.640 --> 0:01:57.480 Tyrone would be now protecting Aaron Rodgers, the first thing 0:01:57.480 --> 0:01:59.120 that came to my mind was that scene in The 0:01:59.160 --> 0:02:02.360 Grinch when he's like hate hate hate, double hate loth 0:02:02.560 --> 0:02:05.560 entirely That's how I feel about it. And then you 0:02:05.600 --> 0:02:08.720 read the details of how the money for him is 0:02:08.760 --> 0:02:10.919 going to be kind of spread out, and Christy and 0:02:10.960 --> 0:02:14.160 I talked about this on another podcast, but with incentives, 0:02:14.160 --> 0:02:17.600 how much he can make. I guess what's very frustrating 0:02:17.600 --> 0:02:21.320 about this is that it was a very doable deal. 0:02:21.480 --> 0:02:24.400 Bless you, that the Cowboys could have gotten done to 0:02:24.560 --> 0:02:29.720 keep your hall of Fame, future Gold jacket tackle in 0:02:29.960 --> 0:02:32.440 that offensive line that is going to need all the 0:02:32.440 --> 0:02:36.080 help it can get. Already losing your starting center, people 0:02:36.680 --> 0:02:40.840 again can say and discredit the amount of I guess 0:02:41.160 --> 0:02:44.360 impact that not having Tyler Biattish will have, But being 0:02:44.360 --> 0:02:46.520 a center is a difficult job. That's going to impact 0:02:46.520 --> 0:02:49.520 to your offensive line enough. Now you're losing a veteran 0:02:49.960 --> 0:02:53.400 All Pro future gold jacket tackle. 0:02:53.520 --> 0:02:54.400 I can't. 0:02:55.680 --> 0:02:59.120 It upsets me. It was doable. They didn't find a way, 0:02:59.440 --> 0:03:03.120 and it's from strading. And now you have more holes 0:03:03.160 --> 0:03:06.400 than you did at the end of the loss of 0:03:06.440 --> 0:03:08.200 the Green Bay game. You have more holes and you 0:03:08.240 --> 0:03:11.080 already had a lot of holes. So how do you 0:03:11.080 --> 0:03:15.679 feel it? Just the draft, free agency, that's not that's 0:03:15.720 --> 0:03:18.679 not going on. So I'm frustrated with how you fill 0:03:18.720 --> 0:03:21.000 the holes that are now here, because, like you said, 0:03:21.040 --> 0:03:25.639 big shoes to fill. But you need a plug and 0:03:25.680 --> 0:03:29.120 play player in these positions. These are it's vital for 0:03:29.200 --> 0:03:32.960 the success of the team. So I'm frustrated and I 0:03:33.000 --> 0:03:35.560 wish him well and the Jet's better take care of him. 0:03:35.840 --> 0:03:38.480 Yeah, And it goes to show you how much lack 0:03:38.560 --> 0:03:41.600 there of money we really did not have right, you know, 0:03:42.280 --> 0:03:45.160 or we're just, in my opinion, not spending it in 0:03:45.240 --> 0:03:46.600 the right areas. 0:03:46.880 --> 0:03:48.480 They're being very prudent. 0:03:48.880 --> 0:03:52.280 Yeah, but they were prudent last year too, And and 0:03:52.560 --> 0:03:56.640 two of the big additions last year came via trade. 0:03:56.640 --> 0:03:58.520 And it was about this time of year when they 0:03:58.520 --> 0:04:01.240 brought in stuff on Gilmour. 0:04:00.840 --> 0:04:01.880 And Brandon Cooks. 0:04:01.960 --> 0:04:05.480 So it was mid to late March, like March twentieth, 0:04:05.520 --> 0:04:08.480 March fourteenth, something like that, March nineteenth and so but 0:04:08.520 --> 0:04:11.000 it caused you what fourth excuse me, fourth and fifth 0:04:11.080 --> 0:04:13.880 rounders and so now that's that's coming back this year. 0:04:13.960 --> 0:04:16.839 But a ship. What did your take on the Hankins, 0:04:16.920 --> 0:04:18.120 because I know. 0:04:18.160 --> 0:04:21.280 Yeah, she's still struggling with struggling with it because they 0:04:21.320 --> 0:04:22.800 also lost Neville Gallimore. 0:04:22.839 --> 0:04:24.719 So two of your defensive tackles are gone. 0:04:24.800 --> 0:04:26.000 Ye have Galiless now. 0:04:27.360 --> 0:04:27.880 At the door. 0:04:29.480 --> 0:04:30.520 If I'm not mistaken. 0:04:30.560 --> 0:04:35.680 Your DT depth is also a Diggiezua, Carl Davis, Mazzie 0:04:35.720 --> 0:04:39.560 Smith and if you want to get a little fancy, 0:04:39.839 --> 0:04:43.920 Chauncey Golston. But I could definitely see Mike Zammer moving 0:04:44.000 --> 0:04:44.960 Chauncey back to d. 0:04:45.120 --> 0:04:48.280 N because you've lost Dante Armstrong. 0:04:48.760 --> 0:04:50.360 The DT depth is very concerning. 0:04:51.720 --> 0:04:54.000 If I'm not mistaken, Even when you look at you know, 0:04:54.040 --> 0:04:56.200 a lot of people are like, I mean, they felt 0:04:56.200 --> 0:04:58.040 like Hankins took a step back last year. He did 0:04:58.040 --> 0:05:00.360 deal with some injuries and things like that, but it's 0:05:00.440 --> 0:05:02.600 no mistake that when he was on the field, there 0:05:02.680 --> 0:05:05.400 was it was a difference in how this team played defense. 0:05:06.040 --> 0:05:11.200 And as far as DT goes, I just cannot believe 0:05:12.240 --> 0:05:18.960 that after that performance defensively like that, you don't prioritize 0:05:19.560 --> 0:05:24.680 getting veteran defensive linemen or tackles in this room. Teams 0:05:24.720 --> 0:05:27.280 not only attacked your edges, they did attack your interior. 0:05:27.600 --> 0:05:30.240 And to lose probably one of the best things that's 0:05:30.279 --> 0:05:33.360 happened to your defensive line. They went out and got 0:05:33.400 --> 0:05:37.280 Hankins because they knew they were not getting yeah. 0:05:37.279 --> 0:05:39.520 And to lose him. 0:05:39.880 --> 0:05:43.719 But also to to your point, just the details of 0:05:43.800 --> 0:05:46.039 his of his could change haven't come out, but it 0:05:46.080 --> 0:05:48.440 sounds like he's gonna be doing some veteran minimum stuff. 0:05:48.960 --> 0:05:49.640 So when you. 0:05:49.680 --> 0:05:52.440 Talk about that, even so, it's like, all right, baby, 0:05:53.520 --> 0:05:55.240 we clearly ain't on no target budget. 0:05:56.880 --> 0:06:01.320 I thought maybe it Walmart budget. Oh no, it might be. 0:06:01.480 --> 0:06:01.719 On a. 0:06:03.520 --> 0:06:04.320 Family dollar. 0:06:04.480 --> 0:06:06.559 You might not even be on budget at this point. 0:06:06.640 --> 0:06:09.560 At this I'm concerned I might not be on that budget. 0:06:09.640 --> 0:06:14.359 That's how my mind operates. But it's it's concerning. It 0:06:14.520 --> 0:06:18.800 is concerning the lack of urgency that I feel from 0:06:18.839 --> 0:06:21.520 this team, Like it would be different if they did 0:06:21.560 --> 0:06:23.840 not lose the way they lost to Green Bay, but 0:06:23.880 --> 0:06:26.320 that was arguably the worst loss of the year. 0:06:26.640 --> 0:06:27.160 And then to. 0:06:27.200 --> 0:06:31.440 Turn around and century the urgency and again, like we 0:06:31.480 --> 0:06:35.240 can talk about the cap and all this stuff. Hey, respectfully, 0:06:35.680 --> 0:06:39.440 we see other teams around this league do it. So 0:06:40.320 --> 0:06:44.240 I'm I'm I'm very concerned with the defensive line depth 0:06:44.440 --> 0:06:47.039 because like to your point you said, Christy, you did 0:06:47.080 --> 0:06:50.040 lose two of your backup ends too, so it's like 0:06:50.160 --> 0:06:53.919 you lost a backup d tackle Neville Gallimore and now it's. 0:06:53.760 --> 0:06:57.039 Just you can even scale it back. You lost Leyton 0:06:57.120 --> 0:06:57.640 van der Esh. 0:06:58.520 --> 0:07:01.560 I mean officially, right, I think what's disappointing to me 0:07:02.040 --> 0:07:04.480 is and I want to talk a little more about 0:07:04.520 --> 0:07:08.560 Tyron's contract and that when he restructured last year, it 0:07:08.640 --> 0:07:13.040 put dead money into this year's cap. So so Tyron 0:07:13.160 --> 0:07:16.960 Smith is counting second most dead cap. Zeke is still 0:07:17.200 --> 0:07:20.720 counting a six point one million for us and dead 0:07:20.760 --> 0:07:25.400 cap and then and then excuse me six point yes, 0:07:25.560 --> 0:07:31.000 let's see Zeke is six point four and so Tyron's 0:07:31.000 --> 0:07:34.760 counting just over six million dollars. Leyton Vandersh is counting 0:07:34.800 --> 0:07:37.880 two point twenty five million, and then Dorance Armstrong, who's 0:07:37.920 --> 0:07:40.120 going to be playing against you twice as a member 0:07:40.120 --> 0:07:43.080 of the division rival commanders, is one point five million. 0:07:43.160 --> 0:07:45.239 So it's not just that you don't put the money 0:07:45.240 --> 0:07:49.640 towards Tyrone or Dorance. Layton's a different thing because of 0:07:49.640 --> 0:07:52.679 the neck issue. But still you're paying so much money 0:07:52.680 --> 0:07:53.840 for them not to play for you. 0:07:54.000 --> 0:07:54.280 Nine. 0:07:54.320 --> 0:07:57.160 I know that that happens every year, but the Cowboys 0:07:57.160 --> 0:07:59.800 had been pretty clean with the dead cap the previous 0:08:00.000 --> 0:08:02.960 coup of years, like in twenty two and the like. 0:08:03.360 --> 0:08:05.440 The one thing about Tyrone, though, is we see that 0:08:05.520 --> 0:08:07.000 it's one year deal six. 0:08:06.840 --> 0:08:09.920 Point five million. That's what's reported for the Jets, And 0:08:09.960 --> 0:08:10.560 that's true. 0:08:11.000 --> 0:08:16.560 But well it's so it's heavily incentivized, right because but 0:08:16.720 --> 0:08:20.880 here's the thing. The incentives work in a couple different ways. 0:08:20.920 --> 0:08:23.840 The likely to be earned incentives meaning that we expect 0:08:23.840 --> 0:08:27.200 you to achieve them, mean that they count against this 0:08:27.320 --> 0:08:30.520 year's cap and then unlikely to be earned count against 0:08:30.840 --> 0:08:34.240 next year's cap. Well, he played over seventy percent of 0:08:34.280 --> 0:08:37.120 snaps this year and it ended up being like an 0:08:37.120 --> 0:08:40.000 extra four million dollars from the Cowboys for reaching his 0:08:40.080 --> 0:08:44.520 playing incentives. Well, the Jets, with all of the incentives 0:08:44.559 --> 0:08:48.520 that they put towards Tyrone into playing time now, because 0:08:48.559 --> 0:08:51.040 he played so much last year, you have to anticipate 0:08:51.040 --> 0:08:53.760 that he'll play that much this year. His cap charge 0:08:53.800 --> 0:08:57.080 is actually twelve point two five million, So I know 0:08:57.120 --> 0:09:00.280 it's reported as one point six one year for six 0:09:00.320 --> 0:09:04.360 point five, but you have to account for those part 0:09:04.360 --> 0:09:07.360 of those incentives that are likely to be earned. So 0:09:07.400 --> 0:09:11.800 it's twelve point twenty five now to me for a 0:09:11.840 --> 0:09:15.960 future Hall of Famer, a quality, proven left tackle in 0:09:16.000 --> 0:09:18.880 the NFL like Tyron Smith to me, is easily worth 0:09:19.400 --> 0:09:22.720 twelve point twenty five million, but having to fit within 0:09:22.760 --> 0:09:27.120 the budget there. But last year from the Cowboys he 0:09:27.160 --> 0:09:31.400 earned seven point three. That was with a three million 0:09:31.440 --> 0:09:34.920 dollar base, with a signing bonus and reaching four million in incentives. 0:09:35.200 --> 0:09:38.960 So just to put things in perspective, you got a 0:09:38.960 --> 0:09:42.480 a Pro Bowl season out of Tyron for seven point three, 0:09:42.559 --> 0:09:45.880 but it's counting six million against your dead cap this year. 0:09:45.760 --> 0:09:49.840 And expect him to honestly seed that because when the 0:09:49.880 --> 0:09:53.000 Cowboys figured out his whole practice regiment and making sure 0:09:53.040 --> 0:09:56.959 that he was off no veteran rest days of course included, 0:09:57.000 --> 0:10:00.240 and then Thursdays Fridays, he didn't practice till what Friday, Yeah, 0:10:00.280 --> 0:10:00.760 I believe. 0:10:00.800 --> 0:10:02.240 So I do wonder what they're going to. 0:10:02.320 --> 0:10:06.600 Uphold that though, because it's not that's not the norm 0:10:07.080 --> 0:10:11.360 at all, and uh, you know, the Cowboys figuring that 0:10:11.400 --> 0:10:14.920 out for him was great. Well, another team follows suit, 0:10:15.000 --> 0:10:16.760 possibly if they want to get the best out of them. 0:10:16.760 --> 0:10:19.880 But there are some coaches who want their offensive linemen 0:10:20.000 --> 0:10:23.200 to practice, especially since they get limited time. 0:10:23.440 --> 0:10:25.480 As it is. I mean, he is, he is the 0:10:25.559 --> 0:10:26.760 veteran of all veterans. 0:10:27.160 --> 0:10:29.200 But at the same time, now he's going to a 0:10:29.280 --> 0:10:32.560 new system, you know, new coaching. He has to thank 0:10:32.600 --> 0:10:36.240 he has to gain continuity with that offensive line. I'm 0:10:36.280 --> 0:10:38.720 not sure that's going to be a thing we'll see, 0:10:38.880 --> 0:10:41.760 but it was a very unique situation. The way that 0:10:41.760 --> 0:10:44.240 they practiced him yesterday. You don't see that across the 0:10:44.320 --> 0:10:45.000 lead that often. 0:10:45.240 --> 0:10:47.240 I feel like it'd be foolish of them not too though, 0:10:47.520 --> 0:10:50.720 because you clearly saw the higher success rate that he 0:10:50.800 --> 0:10:54.320 had by doing it in previous seasons. I mean, again, 0:10:54.400 --> 0:10:56.680 you're talking about a guy that hadn't played a full 0:10:56.679 --> 0:11:00.120 season since twenty fifteen, right, and so this year you 0:11:00.200 --> 0:11:02.920 got the best tyrant that you have gotten in years. 0:11:03.000 --> 0:11:06.120 And I credit Mike McCarthy for being willing to do 0:11:06.160 --> 0:11:09.240 that with his guys to say, look, I'm thinking about 0:11:09.240 --> 0:11:12.240 the longevity. I'm not thinking about right now and all 0:11:12.280 --> 0:11:13.880 of that. You guys know what you're doing. And it 0:11:13.920 --> 0:11:16.800 goes back to not micromanaging. So it is an interesting 0:11:16.840 --> 0:11:18.520 point to see if the Jets will do it, but 0:11:18.600 --> 0:11:21.079 they'd be foolish not too considering you saw the success 0:11:21.080 --> 0:11:21.679 he could have with. 0:11:21.640 --> 0:11:23.640 It, and if you're paying him, you might as well. 0:11:23.840 --> 0:11:27.240 Yep, you know, you know he can do it. 0:11:27.240 --> 0:11:29.480 It's just so frustrating that cares. You can try and 0:11:29.559 --> 0:11:31.600 manage as much as you like. But the year before, 0:11:31.960 --> 0:11:34.720 but the year before with the hamstring injury, that was 0:11:34.760 --> 0:11:37.240 here at the Star in the evening training yeap, and 0:11:37.320 --> 0:11:42.120 he walked off hand string injury and gruesome. Yeah, and 0:11:42.360 --> 0:11:45.400 it was not it was not a contact practice, it 0:11:45.440 --> 0:11:48.080 was not a wear and terry. It hardly done anything 0:11:48.480 --> 0:11:51.079 in camp really, so you can manage it as much 0:11:51.080 --> 0:11:53.640 as you like. But that's the thing with these players. 0:11:53.640 --> 0:11:56.720 They there's a lot of age and mileage, well in 0:11:56.800 --> 0:11:59.920 Tyron's case, mileage on that body, you know, so it's 0:12:00.040 --> 0:12:01.360 it's certainly a risk. 0:12:01.760 --> 0:12:02.319 Now do you. 0:12:03.920 --> 0:12:06.200 Move Tyler Smith to left tackle? 0:12:06.240 --> 0:12:08.320 Do you think it all depends on what happens in 0:12:08.360 --> 0:12:08.760 the draft? 0:12:08.880 --> 0:12:12.280 Yep, you know it's it's heavy in offensive tackles and 0:12:13.080 --> 0:12:17.120 ayisha Is are draft expert on this show, but there 0:12:17.120 --> 0:12:20.160 are other teams that also have big needs at offensive tackles. 0:12:20.200 --> 0:12:23.920 So if you're targeting, if you're targeting someone in the 0:12:23.960 --> 0:12:27.120 first round, there, it's not a guarantee that you know 0:12:27.720 --> 0:12:29.600 at twenty four that he's going to be available. 0:12:29.720 --> 0:12:31.720 I mean, I guess the thing is, it's like and 0:12:31.760 --> 0:12:33.720 we talked about on the Draft show yesterday. Now as 0:12:33.760 --> 0:12:36.480 you guys mention it, this team is putting themselves in 0:12:36.520 --> 0:12:39.040 a position to have to draft for need. 0:12:39.160 --> 0:12:41.360 And again I think everyone. 0:12:40.960 --> 0:12:44.800 Does draft for need based on BPA. Okay, and they'll see, Okay, 0:12:44.920 --> 0:12:47.400 this is the best player available. We'll see where that 0:12:47.440 --> 0:12:50.000 fits in our needs and they'll draft from there. But 0:12:50.400 --> 0:12:52.480 they're kind of showing their hand here, and I don't 0:12:52.480 --> 0:12:55.320 think that's helpful going into the draft. They have not 0:12:55.400 --> 0:12:58.360 really replenished a lot of the positions that they've lost. 0:12:58.400 --> 0:13:03.360 You've lost five starters, five, not like one or two, baby, 0:13:03.440 --> 0:13:06.600 you and lost five and to go into this draft, 0:13:07.520 --> 0:13:10.320 I'm concerned about, you know, the fact that they are 0:13:10.320 --> 0:13:13.360 going to probably be drafting for the needs. 0:13:13.160 --> 0:13:13.800 They need to fill. 0:13:13.840 --> 0:13:16.760 And also too, it's so odd that they're handling free 0:13:16.760 --> 0:13:19.440 agency again like this and just the way that things 0:13:19.440 --> 0:13:22.320 are happening because you didn't get a lot from your 0:13:22.360 --> 0:13:25.000 draft class last year, so that puts you in another 0:13:25.040 --> 0:13:27.600 place to where you're kind of playing catch up. So 0:13:28.400 --> 0:13:31.520 we I mean, like, whoever their first three draft picks are, 0:13:32.000 --> 0:13:34.239 you're almost asking for immediate impacts. 0:13:34.320 --> 0:13:40.720 You're asking for almost immediate Like you definitely need to get. 0:13:40.600 --> 0:13:42.960 Something from them right away. Christy, you mentioned that this 0:13:43.000 --> 0:13:45.480 tackle class is deep. It is, but once you start 0:13:45.480 --> 0:13:49.119 getting to the mid rounds, it's like, I don't know about. 0:13:48.840 --> 0:13:50.719 That, So it's gotta be a first or second day. 0:13:50.960 --> 0:13:53.080 Yeah, And I do think there's more There are more 0:13:53.200 --> 0:13:57.120 guards in the later rounds, so maybe they do decide 0:13:57.120 --> 0:13:59.320 to just go guard in some of the mid rounds 0:13:59.360 --> 0:14:01.720 and they moved Tyler out there, I will say, and 0:14:01.760 --> 0:14:04.240 I've said it before, if they moved Tyler this year 0:14:04.280 --> 0:14:04.840 where he is. 0:14:04.840 --> 0:14:08.040 And I was just about to say, put him somewhere 0:14:08.040 --> 0:14:09.880 and keep him there, him around. 0:14:09.960 --> 0:14:11.280 He's the ultimate team player. 0:14:11.720 --> 0:14:15.040 He has been very, very open about the fact that 0:14:15.080 --> 0:14:19.160 he enjoys being reliable, is being called upon. But for 0:14:19.200 --> 0:14:21.960 the betterment, yeah, but for the betterment of the of 0:14:22.040 --> 0:14:25.360 the athlete, of the player, he needs to go somewhere 0:14:25.360 --> 0:14:26.160 where he can develop. 0:14:26.240 --> 0:14:29.120 This will be his what fourth year, third year, third year? 0:14:29.920 --> 0:14:31.480 I would hope that. 0:14:33.840 --> 0:14:37.400 I would hope that he would that the team, wherever 0:14:37.440 --> 0:14:39.320 they put him this year, they would keep him there 0:14:39.440 --> 0:14:43.360 and allow him to start developing and perfecting his craft 0:14:43.440 --> 0:14:46.120 because there's a difference between guard and tackle. There are 0:14:46.160 --> 0:14:51.080 so many differences, the kicksteps, the spacing, the way they strike, everything, 0:14:51.200 --> 0:14:55.000 and so I love that he's versatile, but I don't 0:14:55.040 --> 0:14:59.200 want that to be a crutch consistently for them to 0:14:59.360 --> 0:15:03.000 not draft accordingly and to be aggressive with that. Now, 0:15:03.040 --> 0:15:05.520 do y'all wonder if this has if the letting go 0:15:05.600 --> 0:15:08.760 of Tyrant says anything about maybe what they think about 0:15:08.800 --> 0:15:11.880 Austoin Richards or maybe what they think about also too. 0:15:11.920 --> 0:15:14.080 I totally forgot so when of my homies brought it up. 0:15:14.120 --> 0:15:17.360 They brought in Lao Collins late last year. Yeah, maybe 0:15:17.360 --> 0:15:19.360 they're going to try to make him the swing tackle 0:15:19.520 --> 0:15:22.120 and get him in shape and have him ready to go. 0:15:23.880 --> 0:15:27.480 I'm wondering guard to Yeah, I think you've got more 0:15:27.520 --> 0:15:29.240 depth at guard than than tackle. 0:15:30.000 --> 0:15:32.800 Know you're assuming that, well, let's go. You know, may 0:15:33.000 --> 0:15:35.320 may be able to give you something, or ball could 0:15:35.480 --> 0:15:40.080 could give you something. Honestly, I'm I'm more concerned about center. 0:15:40.440 --> 0:15:40.640 Yeah. 0:15:40.720 --> 0:15:45.040 Yeah, you know, you got brock h Hoffman who presumed like 0:15:45.080 --> 0:15:46.600 if you had a game tomorrow, he'd be. 0:15:46.640 --> 0:15:47.800 Your your starting center. 0:15:48.280 --> 0:15:53.960 But it's just seems like there is more depth and 0:15:54.320 --> 0:15:58.080 moving parts not only with what you have but what 0:15:58.120 --> 0:16:00.440 you can get in the draft or free agent at 0:16:00.480 --> 0:16:02.160 garden tackle then at center. 0:16:02.240 --> 0:16:03.000 Does that make sense. 0:16:03.120 --> 0:16:05.480 There's some guys in the draft that are some of 0:16:05.480 --> 0:16:08.160 the later rounds that are I think will be good 0:16:08.200 --> 0:16:10.560 center options for good centered like. 0:16:10.240 --> 0:16:13.360 Like day one plug and play possibly yeah. 0:16:13.440 --> 0:16:15.840 Yeah, but I will we'll be there twenty four. 0:16:15.960 --> 0:16:19.840 I also think that later Day three, Yeah, day three. 0:16:19.920 --> 0:16:23.200 I also think though too, it's one of those things 0:16:23.240 --> 0:16:27.040 that I personally didn't realize until this season how much 0:16:27.520 --> 0:16:30.160 of a chemistry has to be built with your center 0:16:30.200 --> 0:16:32.680 and your quarterback. And yes, you can have a player 0:16:32.760 --> 0:16:34.720 go in and do what a center needs to do, 0:16:34.760 --> 0:16:36.800 it doesn't necessarily mean him and Dak will be on 0:16:36.880 --> 0:16:40.360 the same page day one. Yeah, like that's that's just 0:16:40.400 --> 0:16:43.320 the reality of the position is. Tyler Beyottish and Dak 0:16:43.360 --> 0:16:46.600 Prescott had a very good friendship outside of football that 0:16:46.680 --> 0:16:49.360 they grew so they could communicate. So we talked about 0:16:49.400 --> 0:16:51.440 that in terms of CD and Dak, how Dak and 0:16:51.480 --> 0:16:54.480 CD worked on the dockyard to do that Beyondish and 0:16:54.560 --> 0:16:57.320 Dak were doing the same thing, so their communication would 0:16:57.320 --> 0:17:00.560 be on points, so it would all be connecting dot 0:17:01.120 --> 0:17:03.600 you know, during games and not figuring out in game 0:17:03.640 --> 0:17:08.760 time situation. So again I'm with you, Christy, I'm I'm 0:17:08.920 --> 0:17:11.600 I don't like that they didn't try to reacquire Beatdish 0:17:11.680 --> 0:17:15.240 more because again, people can say what they wanted about him, 0:17:15.280 --> 0:17:19.520 and yes there was issues with with coverage and allowing sacks, 0:17:19.600 --> 0:17:25.119 we all know that, but also it's he you didn't 0:17:25.160 --> 0:17:27.919 notice a lack of communication from your quarterback in your 0:17:27.920 --> 0:17:29.880 center because they worked their tails off to make sure 0:17:29.920 --> 0:17:30.360 it was there. 0:17:30.520 --> 0:17:32.000 So it is concerning. 0:17:33.440 --> 0:17:35.960 This is my last thing when you look at the 0:17:36.119 --> 0:17:39.040 NFC as a whole, when you look at I think 0:17:39.040 --> 0:17:40.720 if you look at a lot of teams, man listen, 0:17:41.520 --> 0:17:46.600 that interior of the defensive line is what That's where 0:17:46.600 --> 0:17:49.080 a lot of teams strengths are right now. Is like 0:17:49.160 --> 0:17:52.240 the good teams is that they have good interior defensive linemen. 0:17:52.320 --> 0:17:54.120 The interior of your offensive. 0:17:53.640 --> 0:17:57.200 Line needs to be a little violent, needs to be, 0:17:57.640 --> 0:18:00.199 you know, ready to go wrestle every day. And so 0:18:00.800 --> 0:18:03.760 for me, I'm also too looking at their lack of 0:18:03.840 --> 0:18:07.239 running of run efficiency last year. A lot of that 0:18:07.320 --> 0:18:10.119 had to do with the center not being able to 0:18:10.160 --> 0:18:12.680 get to the second level consistently and things like that. 0:18:13.920 --> 0:18:16.440 Centers are tone setting as well, and there's. 0:18:16.240 --> 0:18:19.080 A temperament that comes with being a center, and so 0:18:19.440 --> 0:18:22.440 I do think that this team does need to look 0:18:22.480 --> 0:18:25.560 at that position in itself to see how they can 0:18:25.640 --> 0:18:28.280 run the ball more efficiently. Because if your center can't 0:18:28.280 --> 0:18:30.880 get to the second level, nobody cares. I'm just being honestly, 0:18:31.400 --> 0:18:34.760 and so it's limiting also as well with how you 0:18:34.800 --> 0:18:37.399 can do different run plays and stuff like that. The 0:18:37.480 --> 0:18:40.280 run game Stopping the run and running the ball are 0:18:40.400 --> 0:18:42.560 two of the reasons why you got kicked out the playoffs. 0:18:42.600 --> 0:18:46.280 And I don't understand what. 0:18:46.320 --> 0:18:50.119 Y'all they've said. The emphasis is on that. 0:18:50.960 --> 0:18:54.159 But that kicked you out of the playoffs just once 0:18:54.800 --> 0:18:57.840 twice two years in a row. Need not forget. It's 0:18:57.960 --> 0:19:00.400 a recurring issue. Everybody's are to. 0:19:00.320 --> 0:19:01.480 Be patient, that's for sure. 0:19:01.520 --> 0:19:05.119 It's pay patient for the first couple of weeks, fatis, 0:19:05.560 --> 0:19:09.680 but hey, you know, just just pay it. Pay attention 0:19:09.800 --> 0:19:12.720 to recent history. And this is the way the Cowboys 0:19:12.720 --> 0:19:13.360 have operated. 0:19:13.720 --> 0:19:18.159 And that's what's so upset. And because it's not getting 0:19:18.160 --> 0:19:20.000 you nowhere, it's. 0:19:19.840 --> 0:19:23.639 Got you three wins to three straight and twelve wins. 0:19:23.680 --> 0:19:25.600 Yeah, and that's fine and dandy. 0:19:26.640 --> 0:19:29.080 Measured measured in the playoffs. 0:19:29.320 --> 0:19:31.280 I mean, and it's it's not even that as measured 0:19:31.320 --> 0:19:34.199 in the playoffs because the issues that you had this season, 0:19:34.320 --> 0:19:35.960 they showed up in the regular season. 0:19:36.480 --> 0:19:39.120 The Bills not like it was like surprise, Like that's 0:19:39.160 --> 0:19:41.719 what I'm talking about, Like I knew it. Yeah, we 0:19:41.840 --> 0:19:44.360 called it before the game. We said, if they lose 0:19:44.400 --> 0:19:46.840 this game, it's because they didn't stop the run. Aaron 0:19:46.920 --> 0:19:50.560 Jones just ran all over the place. Look, he pretty 0:19:50.640 --> 0:19:52.680 much ran from one side of Texas to the other 0:19:52.760 --> 0:19:56.400 during that game. And again, where was your run game? 0:19:56.640 --> 0:19:57.080 All right? 0:19:57.320 --> 0:19:59.840 Non existent like it had been all season, And that 0:20:00.000 --> 0:20:03.520 it was not because of the lack of effort from 0:20:03.560 --> 0:20:06.359 the players, it was it just it wasn't something that 0:20:06.560 --> 0:20:09.640 was normal because it wasn't there all season. Don't get 0:20:09.680 --> 0:20:10.960
