Yes, the twenty six pick 0:02:15.760 --> 0:02:17.480 in the draft right now, the first round is being 0:02:17.520 --> 0:02:19.400 held by the Dallas Cowboys. Oh, by the way, we 0:02:19.440 --> 0:02:21.639 are coming to you from the Star headquarters of the 0:02:21.680 --> 0:02:24.560 Dallas Cowboys, and they do have a press conference at 0:02:24.600 --> 0:02:27.560 high noon today. So Gerald Wayne Jones is going to 0:02:27.560 --> 0:02:30.000 be there, Steven Jones will be there, Will McLay will 0:02:30.040 --> 0:02:32.120 be there, and head coach Mike McCarthy. So they're going 0:02:32.160 --> 0:02:35.040 to give us their take on the draft. And for me, 0:02:35.120 --> 0:02:37.000 I want to get your guys like, what question would 0:02:37.040 --> 0:02:39.280 you want to ask to me? I'd like to ask 0:02:39.360 --> 0:02:43.880 Mike McCarthy, what types of changes would you like to 0:02:43.919 --> 0:02:46.600 see draft wise? As you are now the play caller 0:02:46.639 --> 0:02:47.720 here for your offense. 0:02:47.840 --> 0:02:49.440 I was about to say, make sure when you introduced 0:02:49.440 --> 0:02:52.480 Mike McCarthy, you say Mike McCarthy head coach and play caller. 0:02:52.560 --> 0:02:52.919 All right. 0:02:52.960 --> 0:02:55.280 We want to make sure that everybody understands that Mike 0:02:55.360 --> 0:02:59.359 McCarthy is now the play caller and not killing Moore. Right, 0:03:00.120 --> 0:03:05.880 McCarthy head coach and play caller right now? You know 0:03:05.960 --> 0:03:08.799 what I want to know what Mike is looking for 0:03:08.880 --> 0:03:11.680 now that he is the play caller. The whole gripe 0:03:11.720 --> 0:03:14.280 I think in the offseason has been about the offense. 0:03:14.320 --> 0:03:17.160 The number one offense at certain points at the season, 0:03:17.360 --> 0:03:20.800 Daniel McCrae. We know that we need stuff, you know, 0:03:21.000 --> 0:03:23.480 and will it be offensive line, will it be skilled positioned? 0:03:23.520 --> 0:03:24.040 I don't know. 0:03:24.639 --> 0:03:27.200 There's so many mysteries around this draft, and to me, 0:03:27.480 --> 0:03:29.679 it's because it's not that deeper draft. I don't see 0:03:29.720 --> 0:03:33.880 the talent there for us at twenty six. A lot 0:03:33.919 --> 0:03:36.560 of wonky things are going to happen on Thursday, and 0:03:37.000 --> 0:03:40.040 if some guys fall because some teams at the top ten, 0:03:40.160 --> 0:03:42.720 top five are desperate, then I think it could make 0:03:42.800 --> 0:03:44.760 for an interesting night. But if it goes according to 0:03:45.320 --> 0:03:47.160 the board, I don't know what's going to be there 0:03:47.160 --> 0:03:50.400 for us at twenty six. Yeah, I would like to 0:03:50.440 --> 0:03:54.480 ask Mike McCarthy, the head coach and play caller, about 0:03:54.520 --> 0:03:57.560 the offensive line and what he thinks about it, especially 0:03:57.600 --> 0:04:00.240 since he's in the past. Or as soon as La 0:04:00.240 --> 0:04:02.120 More was out of here, what I heard from Mike 0:04:02.200 --> 0:04:05.960 McCarthy was, we need to run the ball. Our defense 0:04:06.080 --> 0:04:08.760 is strong and we need to give them rest and 0:04:08.800 --> 0:04:10.480 we need to be able to run the ball more. 0:04:11.160 --> 0:04:13.440 Does that mean that you are going to focus more 0:04:13.480 --> 0:04:15.560 on your offensive line? Because I always hark it back 0:04:15.600 --> 0:04:18.400 to twenty fourteen, and then I'll go back to twenty 0:04:18.440 --> 0:04:21.760 sixteen when you have this offensive line in this running game, 0:04:22.080 --> 0:04:25.760 and at that point, the offensive line was feared. When 0:04:25.760 --> 0:04:28.000 you have your offensive line like that, it helps you 0:04:28.040 --> 0:04:30.640 be able to then do what Mike McCarthy wants to do. Right, 0:04:31.040 --> 0:04:33.920 Church played on the twenty fourteen team, and I promise 0:04:34.000 --> 0:04:36.320 you they were on the sideline rested when I was 0:04:36.320 --> 0:04:38.560 playing for the Bears. Them dudes was on the sideline 0:04:38.640 --> 0:04:41.520 the whole time, chilling, chilling. They came in, got a 0:04:41.520 --> 0:04:42.880 three and out, then they went set back on the 0:04:42.880 --> 0:04:45.320 bench for another eight minutes. Right, And that was one 0:04:45.360 --> 0:04:47.600 of the best, best, best teams of the last ten 0:04:47.680 --> 0:04:48.880 years for the Dallas Cowboys. 0:04:48.920 --> 0:04:52.279 So is that something that we're focusing on this draft? 0:04:52.920 --> 0:04:55.400 As a former player, does is there any intrigue for 0:04:55.480 --> 0:04:58.240 you in the way that the league has changed away 0:04:58.279 --> 0:05:01.440 from that mantra of we're gonna run the ball. It's 0:05:01.480 --> 0:05:05.039 not even it's not there anymore. Everybody wants to play 0:05:05.040 --> 0:05:09.039 seven on seven style right now. And let's think about it. 0:05:09.080 --> 0:05:12.120 Even the running back position, there's only b Jon Robinson 0:05:12.240 --> 0:05:15.120 in the first round. Nobody else is talking about Gibbs 0:05:15.120 --> 0:05:17.479 from Alabani. You're not talking about any other running back. 0:05:17.680 --> 0:05:19.359 We're only talking about receivers. 0:05:19.560 --> 0:05:19.840 I think. 0:05:20.000 --> 0:05:22.720 I think it's more of how the running game has 0:05:22.839 --> 0:05:27.080 changed from power trap counter now. 0:05:26.960 --> 0:05:29.280 To zone read speed sweeps right. 0:05:29.400 --> 0:05:31.839 So when you're running power and trap right, de Marco 0:05:31.960 --> 0:05:34.880 Murray and Ezekiel Ellie and Derreck Henry, those guys, they 0:05:34.880 --> 0:05:36.599 don't have to catch out of the backfield as much. 0:05:36.640 --> 0:05:38.160 What they have to do is be able to read 0:05:38.200 --> 0:05:41.320 those blocks when the guard pools around. Now you got 0:05:41.320 --> 0:05:42.839 to be able to have read option. You need to 0:05:42.839 --> 0:05:44.479 scat back a guy who can get through the hole 0:05:44.520 --> 0:05:47.280 really quickly, like a Tony Powler, like a Miles Sanders, 0:05:47.839 --> 0:05:49.600 those type of players, and then you also have to 0:05:49.600 --> 0:05:51.040 be able to catch the ball out of the backfield. 0:05:51.080 --> 0:05:53.760 So I think it's just changed a lot, and it's 0:05:53.800 --> 0:05:56.880 actually exciting to see now. Not as exciting for guys 0:05:56.880 --> 0:05:59.560 who are are accustomed to hitting the hole in the 0:05:59.600 --> 0:06:01.960 power being able to run a trap and read those 0:06:02.000 --> 0:06:04.480 blocks and get up get up the middle like of 0:06:04.560 --> 0:06:08.279 Adrian Peterson. Now it's more Christian McCaffrey and Miles Sanders 0:06:08.400 --> 0:06:10.840 and those type of guys. So I think it's more 0:06:10.880 --> 0:06:12.640 fun for the game, but it's a you know, it's 0:06:12.680 --> 0:06:15.640 it's a big change from what I grew up playing 0:06:15.839 --> 0:06:16.320 and watching. 0:06:18.160 --> 0:06:22.000 Another question, like to ask Mike speaking of the run game, 0:06:23.320 --> 0:06:29.720 Skippy Pete was very honest when he said Pollard and 0:06:29.839 --> 0:06:34.039 Zeke are a tandem, and Mike has talked about how 0:06:34.600 --> 0:06:36.799 you know you don't really have a one horse running 0:06:36.839 --> 0:06:38.840 back anymore in the league. That it's it's it's a 0:06:38.960 --> 0:06:43.200 job for two guys, Tony Pollard coming off an injury. 0:06:44.160 --> 0:06:46.760 How do you improve the running back room? Is it 0:06:46.800 --> 0:06:49.240 through the draft? Do they look to bring someone in 0:06:49.400 --> 0:06:51.120 after the draft, what else do they do? I just 0:06:51.160 --> 0:06:53.800 feel like the running back room is not complete right now, 0:06:54.560 --> 0:07:02.120 not enough. No, the contract he signed basically you cut 0:07:02.160 --> 0:07:05.800 him during camp. He got make the team. So to me, 0:07:05.960 --> 0:07:09.320 when you sign somebody with a contract contract like that, 0:07:09.320 --> 0:07:11.000 that I mean you've been in a game long enough to. 0:07:10.960 --> 0:07:12.280 You Oh yeah, yeah, I know, I know. 0:07:12.320 --> 0:07:15.960 I just you know, like when you pick up players 0:07:15.720 --> 0:07:19.880 like Ronald Jones, or you look at players old film, right, 0:07:20.400 --> 0:07:21.880 it's hard for you not to be like, oh, man, 0:07:21.880 --> 0:07:24.040 I remember when he had a ninety nine yard run, 0:07:24.240 --> 0:07:26.600 or when him and Leonard four nettwork competing for the 0:07:26.600 --> 0:07:29.320 starting job out there and Tampa and Leonard four Nette 0:07:29.320 --> 0:07:31.640 got hurting you like, oh, Ronald Jones has arrived, and 0:07:31.680 --> 0:07:33.960 then you remember that he also lost that job again 0:07:34.000 --> 0:07:35.840 and then it became playoff Lenny, Right. 0:07:35.920 --> 0:07:38.040 But you hope when you pick a guy up like 0:07:38.080 --> 0:07:38.600 that that you. 0:07:38.600 --> 0:07:41.960 Can get the other guy, that guy who can can 0:07:42.000 --> 0:07:43.840 be the one two punch with Tony Poller. 0:07:43.920 --> 0:07:44.760 But you just don't know. 0:07:44.800 --> 0:07:48.040 So, so to your point, I think you got to 0:07:48.080 --> 0:07:52.119 get somebody in the draft, not as early as first round. 0:07:52.160 --> 0:07:53.600 I don't think you have to do that, but I 0:07:53.600 --> 0:07:55.680 think you have to get somebody who can come in 0:07:56.040 --> 0:07:59.680 and spell Tony Pollard whenever he gets gets a little fatigued, 0:07:59.840 --> 0:08:01.280 or just to make sure to wear a terror is 0:08:01.320 --> 0:08:03.720 not too much for him to go throughout the full season. No, 0:08:04.120 --> 0:08:07.520 and Renald Jones, to me, could be that bridge player. 0:08:07.760 --> 0:08:09.520 He could be a guy that can feel in if 0:08:09.560 --> 0:08:12.600 you don't have a pick a running back and you 0:08:12.600 --> 0:08:14.640 don't get a running back. All right, But I still 0:08:14.680 --> 0:08:16.600 believe that in a guy like Malie Davis, I think 0:08:16.600 --> 0:08:19.240 we've given him plenty of opportunity. But I get and 0:08:19.280 --> 0:08:22.120 I see the promise in him as well. The thing 0:08:22.240 --> 0:08:24.440 is is when you go back to Mike McCarthy and 0:08:24.520 --> 0:08:26.920 his offense, is it gonna be along the lines of 0:08:26.920 --> 0:08:30.480 what you're talking about those read uh versus power? 0:08:31.360 --> 0:08:33.240 You have an offense that can do power. 0:08:34.000 --> 0:08:36.200 The only team that I can think of that would 0:08:36.280 --> 0:08:38.440 would you say San Francisco would be a power run 0:08:38.480 --> 0:08:45.079 team with they yes, okay, Philadelphia power run team on 0:08:45.200 --> 0:08:47.960 more of a zone or the the red zones And okay, 0:08:48.040 --> 0:08:49.920 I think my answer to yours will say, if Dak 0:08:49.960 --> 0:08:52.240 Prescott is going to run the ball and provide. 0:08:52.920 --> 0:08:55.120 Let's say no, let's say know right now. 0:08:55.480 --> 0:08:57.720 Maybe you're gonna have to go along the lines of 0:08:57.559 --> 0:09:00.440 a Shanahan type of style of the game. 0:09:00.800 --> 0:09:02.360 Has to be really creative. But yeah, YOU'RENNA. 0:09:02.360 --> 0:09:04.840 You're gonna run in between the tackles often enough to 0:09:04.880 --> 0:09:06.160 where you're gonna need two guys. 0:09:06.400 --> 0:09:06.640 Yeah. 0:09:06.679 --> 0:09:09.600 I like Ronald Jones. I like the addition of Ronald Jones. 0:09:09.600 --> 0:09:11.439 But to me, I have that stuck in my head 0:09:11.480 --> 0:09:14.960 from Mickey Spagnola Bridge Players, and I just kind of 0:09:14.960 --> 0:09:16.200 felt as though he. 0:09:16.120 --> 0:09:16.800 May have been that. 0:09:16.880 --> 0:09:19.800 But I'm with you Newie on that when he has 0:09:19.840 --> 0:09:22.600 to make this team, so he's really gonna be an 0:09:22.679 --> 0:09:26.880 uphill battle for him, especially if the Cowboys can't take 0:09:26.960 --> 0:09:29.199 him away with b Jeon Robinson in this drive. 0:09:31.640 --> 0:09:35.920 I am not allowing myself to believe that there will 0:09:35.960 --> 0:09:37.360 be any Bjon here. 0:09:37.640 --> 0:09:38.199 I don't believe that. 0:09:38.559 --> 0:09:39.640 I'm just I'm just not. 0:09:39.800 --> 0:09:41.040 We got lucky with CD. 0:09:41.640 --> 0:09:45.840 You know somebody. I was Chris armen Field in but 0:09:45.920 --> 0:09:47.679 I did a guest spot on his show one of three, 0:09:47.720 --> 0:09:49.880 The Fan City, and they brought up Todd mcshay's and 0:09:50.320 --> 0:09:52.520 the Cowboys when they trade. Could see them trading up 0:09:52.559 --> 0:09:55.280 to seventeen for b Jean Robertson my first tart, I said, look, 0:09:55.400 --> 0:09:58.679 I like Todds. Remember Todd before he got the ESPN. 0:09:58.720 --> 0:10:00.560 We try to do the come up, but Todd is 0:10:00.600 --> 0:10:04.080 doing what you people do. During this time, we're gonna 0:10:04.080 --> 0:10:06.720 talk about a rumor. What are you giving up to 0:10:06.720 --> 0:10:09.040 get to seventeen? Who do you have to get in 0:10:09.080 --> 0:10:12.200 front of? What are you willing to also say we 0:10:12.280 --> 0:10:15.040 don't need this second or third round pick? And we're 0:10:15.040 --> 0:10:17.480 talking about a team here that has to dole out 0:10:17.559 --> 0:10:20.880 some pretty significant contracts coming up here soon. Cedee Lamb 0:10:20.920 --> 0:10:23.280 has to get paid. Trayvon Diggs has to get paid 0:10:23.280 --> 0:10:25.440 because while CD was on a five year contract, Digs 0:10:25.440 --> 0:10:27.560 was on a four year contract. Michael Parsons has to 0:10:27.559 --> 0:10:30.960 get paid, Dak Prescott has to has to be renegotiated. 0:10:31.200 --> 0:10:33.600 So if you're talking about moving up to seventeen for Bijon, 0:10:34.440 --> 0:10:37.319 what are you going to give up second third round 0:10:37.400 --> 0:10:39.800 pick that you say we don't have access to that 0:10:39.800 --> 0:10:41.960 particular player because we're going to move up to get 0:10:41.960 --> 0:10:47.440 Bjon Robinson. Or maybe you're saying we'll have Bijon on 0:10:47.600 --> 0:10:51.080 a very team friendly contract and we don't have to 0:10:51.120 --> 0:10:54.199 have Tony Pollard after next year. That puts ten million 0:10:54.240 --> 0:10:58.520 dollars someplace else. I mean, I'm just but I just 0:10:58.559 --> 0:11:00.600 don't see the run. I don't see them doing that 0:11:00.640 --> 0:11:02.320 with the running back. And then let we just bring up 0:11:02.360 --> 0:11:05.560 this last point. Went back to see Kansas City's last 0:11:05.720 --> 0:11:07.560 rosters on the two Super Bowl teams they've won. For 0:11:07.559 --> 0:11:10.800 Patrick Mahomes at running back the Super Bowl fifty fourteen, 0:11:10.960 --> 0:11:13.599 Darwin Thompson, Lashawn McCoy, who sat on the bench and 0:11:13.640 --> 0:11:15.840 he was mad because they playing that bill right, he 0:11:16.120 --> 0:11:18.400 playing that game. He was an active and Damian Williams. 0:11:18.480 --> 0:11:20.920 Damian Williams seventeen carries one hundred four yards and a touchdown, 0:11:20.960 --> 0:11:22.880 and that win over San Francisco not one hundred and 0:11:22.880 --> 0:11:26.120 twenty nine total yards rushing. Then last year the Super 0:11:26.160 --> 0:11:28.880 Bowl fifty seven back in February, it was Jared McKinnon, 0:11:29.040 --> 0:11:32.240 Ronald Jones, other Cowboys. Clyde Edwards. Hilaire was a running 0:11:32.240 --> 0:11:34.199 back on the team, but he was inactive. And then 0:11:34.240 --> 0:11:38.199 it was Isaiah Pacheco's seventh rounder, Andy Reeves always run 0:11:38.200 --> 0:11:40.680 the football wherever he's gone. But if this is what 0:11:40.760 --> 0:11:44.640 he's winning with here, you don't have to go get 0:11:44.640 --> 0:11:48.320 Bjon Robinson the way some people are saying. In my opinion, 0:11:48.800 --> 0:11:54.000 if you can block, okay, you can block, and you 0:11:54.040 --> 0:11:58.319 get good quarterback play, you don't have to have O. J. 0:11:58.480 --> 0:12:00.840 Simpson or Jim Brown to win the championship. 0:12:05.679 --> 0:12:07.839 I want to be I want to be fair in 0:12:07.880 --> 0:12:12.199 this one and say Andy Reid has Patrick Mahone, Travis 0:12:12.280 --> 0:12:17.679 Kelcey and Eric being and me and him both outstanding 0:12:17.720 --> 0:12:20.760 play callers, being able to bounce ideas off each other 0:12:20.800 --> 0:12:22.560 and see things that others may not be able to 0:12:22.559 --> 0:12:25.480 see in game and make things like that happen. Right, 0:12:25.480 --> 0:12:28.160 So you can't get any you know, seventh rounder to 0:12:28.200 --> 0:12:30.240 come in there in any offense to be able to 0:12:30.240 --> 0:12:31.920 do that. But if you have an offense to where 0:12:32.080 --> 0:12:34.079 man we got to focus on Travis Kelcey, oh I 0:12:34.160 --> 0:12:36.040 met Patrick Mahons might be able to do this. He 0:12:37.040 --> 0:12:39.319 gets us in trouble when he's out of the pocket, 0:12:39.320 --> 0:12:41.240 when he's on the move. We have so many other 0:12:41.280 --> 0:12:43.760 things to focus on. Oh wait, now we got Tony 0:12:43.800 --> 0:12:45.600 coming through here and he's running the ball like you 0:12:45.640 --> 0:12:47.520 have so many other things to worry about. If we 0:12:47.559 --> 0:12:50.960 can have our offense be that dynamic, right, is that 0:12:51.120 --> 0:12:52.439 going to be on the move and be able to 0:12:52.480 --> 0:12:56.120 scramble like a Patrick Mahomes Is is our tight end 0:12:56.120 --> 0:12:59.440 play going to Gardner? The type of attention that Travis 0:12:59.520 --> 0:13:02.560 Kelsey os. How is our receiving room going to do? 0:13:02.640 --> 0:13:07.960 Because last year outside of CD lambt so. But if 0:13:08.000 --> 0:13:09.719 you can get all of that, then yeah, you could 0:13:09.720 --> 0:13:11.600 throw seven rounder in there and be like, all right, well, 0:13:11.720 --> 0:13:13.800 we just need you to have one good game. But 0:13:14.080 --> 0:13:16.959 when you're leaning on your running game for the entire season, 0:13:17.240 --> 0:13:20.240 you might need a Bjeon guy or Tony Polar or 0:13:20.920 --> 0:13:22.960 Ezekiel Elliot of the past to be able to carry 0:13:23.000 --> 0:13:23.400 that for the. 0:13:23.400 --> 0:13:25.680 Entire elite Hall of Fame players. 0:13:28.880 --> 0:13:31.400 I mean, that's a that's a great articulation of just 0:13:31.440 --> 0:13:35.120 saying this, ain't that's what you. 0:13:35.280 --> 0:13:39.840 Just basically did. This Ain't that argument? 0:13:41.600 --> 0:13:43.680 I mean, and look, man, y'all know the positive heck 0:13:43.720 --> 0:13:46.400 over here. I feel like I'm always pandering to the 0:13:46.440 --> 0:13:49.240 crowd of people that see the silver lining and everything 0:13:49.240 --> 0:13:52.320 for the Dallas Cowboys. But I'm preparing myself to be 0:13:52.440 --> 0:13:56.199 ticked off on Thursday. Really, I am. I am because 0:13:56.559 --> 0:13:59.000 so much of this season last season just looking at 0:13:59.000 --> 0:14:02.040 what philadel did in the trade that they made. 0:14:02.080 --> 0:14:03.840 Philadelphia has the tenth. 0:14:03.600 --> 0:14:06.439 Pick in this draft lot call it that sink in 0:14:06.720 --> 0:14:08.760 the runner up to the Super Bowl. Has the tenth 0:14:08.800 --> 0:14:12.040 pick from New Orleans. Now, how did all that come together? 0:14:12.120 --> 0:14:14.160 New Orleans traded a pick to them that ended up 0:14:14.160 --> 0:14:16.560 they went seven to ten last season, ends up getting 0:14:16.600 --> 0:14:20.000 ten and oh, by the way, last year, Philadelphia takes 0:14:20.040 --> 0:14:22.040 those picks that they received from New Orleans and just 0:14:22.080 --> 0:14:24.040 offers them up for one AJ Brown. 0:14:24.280 --> 0:14:25.520 How did that work out? 0:14:26.480 --> 0:14:28.080 You know, you get a guy that. 0:14:28.080 --> 0:14:32.360 Comes in and improves your team immensely immediately. These are 0:14:32.360 --> 0:14:34.560 the kinds of moves that I am begging for. The 0:14:34.600 --> 0:14:37.000 Cowboys to make you know, heck a lot. 0:14:36.880 --> 0:14:39.000 Of Cowboy fans and we were doing the show after 0:14:39.000 --> 0:14:42.480 they took Tyler Smith weren't happy and I remember with 0:14:42.520 --> 0:14:44.840 a big knock on Tyler and people said, hey, the 0:14:44.880 --> 0:14:48.880 guy was in the American Athletic Conference and he was 0:14:49.800 --> 0:14:52.480 nobody held more people in college football than Tyler Smith. 0:14:52.560 --> 0:14:54.960 I mean, it was not a lot of positives going on, 0:14:55.000 --> 0:14:57.160 people saying they reached you but not and what did 0:14:57.160 --> 0:15:00.400 we see? He was one of the most valuable pieces 0:15:00.440 --> 0:15:03.760 that they had last year. Mike McCarthy consistently talks about 0:15:03.800 --> 0:15:07.240 position flex started at guard. Next thing, you know, right 0:15:07.280 --> 0:15:11.400 before the season starts, Tylern smith hamstring problem goes out 0:15:11.480 --> 0:15:13.440 the left tackle. I hadn't played the left tackle all 0:15:13.480 --> 0:15:15.400 the camp. Guy had a heck of a year. So 0:15:16.680 --> 0:15:18.840 are you gonna be ticked off by what the Cowboys jew? 0:15:18.920 --> 0:15:20.880 He can be ticked off by what are the people 0:15:21.280 --> 0:15:23.760 in the division who are gonna be drafting ahead of because. 0:15:23.520 --> 0:15:26.960 I see the division getting better. That's just the Eagles 0:15:26.960 --> 0:15:29.240 are gonna get a great player at ten. They can 0:15:29.280 --> 0:15:30.240 get a Jalen Carter. 0:15:30.360 --> 0:15:30.680 They could. 0:15:30.840 --> 0:15:32.800 I mean, come on, let's let's put that together. And 0:15:33.080 --> 0:15:34.640 to be honest with you, I'm gonna say the same 0:15:34.920 --> 0:15:38.560 about Tyler Smith, the Great Unknown. He was one of 0:15:38.600 --> 0:15:40.240 those guys that they had boots on the ground. They 0:15:40.280 --> 0:15:43.080 figured out that he could have that possession position flex. 0:15:43.440 --> 0:15:45.560 We hadn't heard of a lot of players this season. 0:15:45.560 --> 0:15:48.520 Maybe the TCU. The TCU guard that we talked about. 0:15:48.520 --> 0:15:51.440 A guy can play guard or maybe center. Other than that, 0:15:54.760 --> 0:15:55.400 I go back. 0:15:55.280 --> 0:15:57.440 To the time I was working in Cleveland and the 0:15:57.520 --> 0:16:00.720 Browns had the tenth pick in the draft. They wanted 0:16:01.000 --> 0:16:05.480 tight end Kyle Brady and Mike mcmulla. Both guys went 0:16:05.520 --> 0:16:08.360 off the board, so they panicked. Mike Lombardi was running 0:16:08.360 --> 0:16:09.760 the draft room. They panic. They traded it all the 0:16:09.760 --> 0:16:12.680 way down with the forty nine ers. The forty nine 0:16:12.760 --> 0:16:14.960 ers took at the tenth pick, and they were praised. 0:16:15.360 --> 0:16:18.920 JJ Stokes, wide receiver out of UCLA, all American wires. 0:16:19.120 --> 0:16:23.280 This is the next Jerry Rice. They got Jerry Rice Junior. 0:16:23.320 --> 0:16:26.560 I mean, and so here the het did the Niners 0:16:26.560 --> 0:16:29.560 do it? We don't know. And they are more missus. 0:16:29.760 --> 0:16:31.960 I mean, he started looking at this stuff. He go back, Man, 0:16:32.240 --> 0:16:35.440 the bus rates gonna be fifty percent plus. And so 0:16:35.600 --> 0:16:38.160 while yes, Philadelphia is sitting here at tenth. You know, 0:16:38.280 --> 0:16:40.680 they couldn't mess it up. There's still the same dude 0:16:40.760 --> 0:16:42.160 who took Jalen Rager. 0:16:43.520 --> 0:16:46.240 It is, but he made up for that just. 0:16:48.640 --> 0:16:49.000 You go. 0:16:52.200 --> 0:16:54.360 Brown, He just stayed with that loan. So you know, 0:16:55.040 --> 0:16:58.040 so so we'll see. That's the thing we'll see. I 0:16:58.080 --> 0:17:00.080 mean for us to just all like, hey man, and 0:17:00.080 --> 0:17:03.320 he's gonna hit. Maybe he doesn't hit. 0:17:04.440 --> 0:17:06.600 You talking about who? Okay? 0:17:06.600 --> 0:17:09.280 I thought you're talking about Jonn Robinson. Y'all remember when 0:17:09.320 --> 0:17:13.120 Trit Williams was the guy I mean, uh rich Richardson, Yes, 0:17:13.359 --> 0:17:15.240 you remember that Cleveland. 0:17:15.440 --> 0:17:17.400 I mean he tore it up in that National Championship 0:17:17.440 --> 0:17:20.640 game against Alabama. You know what, man, this is why 0:17:21.080 --> 0:17:23.760 I'm glad they don't let, you know, buy stocking players 0:17:23.760 --> 0:17:26.399 because I had a bottom buck. I'd have had a 0:17:26.440 --> 0:17:30.320 lot of Trent Richardson, Carson Palmer and r G three stock. 0:17:30.440 --> 0:17:31.440 You know what I saw? I saw? 0:17:31.560 --> 0:17:31.880 I saw. 0:17:32.600 --> 0:17:37.080 I saw a Sports Illustrated ad about the Tony Mandrids Draft. 0:17:37.119 --> 0:17:38.480 Do you remember that? Right? 0:17:38.600 --> 0:17:41.520 Aikman in that draft and Aikman. 0:17:41.240 --> 0:17:46.080 Dion and Barry Sanders Junior, sound oh Man and Tony 0:17:46.160 --> 0:17:48.880 mandridch you talk about bus central, so I know it's 0:17:48.880 --> 0:17:51.639 a reach. I know teams obviously are desperate enough. And 0:17:51.680 --> 0:17:53.159 that's why I look at the top ten of this 0:17:53.280 --> 0:17:56.000 draft because I know so many teams are desperate for 0:17:56.080 --> 0:17:59.360 a quarterback. It's it's amazing, amazing to me, Like, kid 0:17:59.400 --> 0:18:02.439 that the quarterback from Ohio State, the way that people say, oh, 0:18:02.560 --> 0:18:04.760 Houston may not take him, you may fall all the 0:18:04.760 --> 0:18:07.240 way out of time. I'm like, dude, there are teams 0:18:07.240 --> 0:18:12.080 that are talking about considering seriously getting the quarterback from Kentucky. 0:18:12.280 --> 0:18:14.520 So we're being lied to consistently right now. 0:18:14.880 --> 0:18:15.480 Absolutely. 0:18:15.520 --> 0:18:18.320 Look if you're not absolutely, if you're not lying, if 0:18:18.359 --> 0:18:19.640 you're a team and you're not lying to me, you're 0:18:19.680 --> 0:18:22.320 doing it all wrong. But you've seen, but you've seen 0:18:22.400 --> 0:18:26.000 teams reach at those top teens. So I'm actually agreeing 0:18:26.040 --> 0:18:27.960 with what you're saying. That's saying that Philly could do that. 0:18:28.000 --> 0:18:29.600 But we know that they don't need a quarterback. 0:18:30.040 --> 0:18:33.399 I mean, is this draft thing is crazy? Yes, they 0:18:33.400 --> 0:18:35.159 don't need a quarterback because they just pay jail. It 0:18:35.240 --> 0:18:37.040 hurts better. Mean, now, this is the same league that 0:18:37.119 --> 0:18:40.160 you know, not only did they draft mental Trubisky ahead 0:18:40.160 --> 0:18:42.680 of Patrick Mahomes and Deshaun Watson. We saw a team 0:18:42.720 --> 0:18:44.800 trade to do it. 0:18:44.760 --> 0:18:45.720 It's Chicago. 0:18:46.520 --> 0:18:50.520 Hey, you're right, but foolish will occur in Cleveland. The 0:18:50.560 --> 0:18:52.880
