WEBVTT - Cowboys Break: Sack Party? 0:00:00.080 --> 0:00:02.120 And of the break. We're life from the s WBC 0:00:02.240 --> 0:00:04.800 Mortgage Studios at the start, presented by millerlike the Only 0:00:04.840 --> 0:00:08.520 Beer of the Dallas Cowboys. And today we start talking 0:00:08.600 --> 0:00:12.040 Cowboys versus Colts. We'll get you ready, Brian has his 0:00:12.200 --> 0:00:16.160 updates for us there. I'm good. We'll talk about someone. 0:00:16.200 --> 0:00:20.119 I'm gonna talk about some things regarding that matchup, particularly 0:00:20.280 --> 0:00:24.400 off the Indianapolis offense versus the Dallas defense. Before we 0:00:24.400 --> 0:00:26.360 get to that, though, I did want to talk about 0:00:26.400 --> 0:00:30.560 one transaction that happened yesterday. Cowboys release Terrell Bash him. 0:00:30.600 --> 0:00:34.320 He wasn't active against the Giants, spent a lot of 0:00:34.360 --> 0:00:37.159 this season on injured Was he on injured reserve or 0:00:37.200 --> 0:00:39.880 just out? Yeah, he was on injured reserve. So I 0:00:39.920 --> 0:00:44.760 hadn't really played a ton for them this year. Why now? Why? Why? Why? 0:00:45.080 --> 0:00:47.960 Why make the move now? Well, it sounds like I 0:00:48.040 --> 0:00:50.960 mean they you know, last week was kind of interesting 0:00:51.000 --> 0:00:54.959 because they put Tyck McKinley up from They called him up, 0:00:55.840 --> 0:00:57.960 which you only get three of these, So they called 0:00:58.040 --> 0:01:00.560 him up and then didn't play him. So that was 0:01:00.640 --> 0:01:02.400 kind of weird. And I think it was mainly because 0:01:02.400 --> 0:01:04.000 they're trying to figure out all these guys that were 0:01:04.040 --> 0:01:06.800 sick and do they need him or not, So you 0:01:06.840 --> 0:01:09.080 wouldn't waste to call up if you were going to 0:01:09.200 --> 0:01:11.280 keep doing that with him, He's gonna get moved up 0:01:11.280 --> 0:01:13.880 at some point. So McKinley, I think that's the one 0:01:13.880 --> 0:01:16.560 of the reasons there. I mean, the main reason is 0:01:16.600 --> 0:01:20.119 he's not playing that great. I mean, he's not. They 0:01:20.160 --> 0:01:22.360 got so many guys, I mean, how many pass rushers 0:01:22.360 --> 0:01:23.960 do you need? Not even by playing great, he's just 0:01:24.000 --> 0:01:26.480 not playing right, I'm not playing And he's not better 0:01:26.480 --> 0:01:29.720 than you know. I mean, I I think he's comfortable 0:01:29.800 --> 0:01:33.080 to Fowler, but they like Fowler better and he's got 0:01:33.160 --> 0:01:36.400 more production. So but McKinley, I think it's the big reason. 0:01:37.280 --> 0:01:40.280 You know, I was gonna say that it was surprising 0:01:40.319 --> 0:01:43.480 to me and when I think back, okay, this happened, 0:01:43.680 --> 0:01:46.880 and then the Tristan Hill situation, and then going back 0:01:46.880 --> 0:01:50.360 to where before the deadline for trading, and when we 0:01:50.400 --> 0:01:52.800 were thinking, okay, who were who were some guys that 0:01:52.840 --> 0:01:56.280 you could possibly use to trade, to form some kind 0:01:56.280 --> 0:01:59.000 of trade to bring somebody in. It just it's just 0:01:59.080 --> 0:02:02.200 interesting to think that you would just get rid of 0:02:02.520 --> 0:02:05.480 two guys that you've talked about even if he wasn't playing. 0:02:05.840 --> 0:02:08.359 He's a guy whose name was mentioned quite a lot. 0:02:08.440 --> 0:02:11.799 You saw some talent and potential there, But to think 0:02:11.800 --> 0:02:14.720 that it was just you know, neither of those two 0:02:14.720 --> 0:02:19.560 guys specifically defensive ends or at the defensive line that 0:02:19.639 --> 0:02:22.560 you were kind of got some use out of them 0:02:22.600 --> 0:02:24.679 and just kind of decided to get rid of them. Yeah. 0:02:24.680 --> 0:02:26.800 I played really well in the preseason. If you remember, 0:02:26.840 --> 0:02:28.200 it was one of those things where you were kind 0:02:28.240 --> 0:02:31.280 of training camp. You were like going him armstrong, those guys. 0:02:31.320 --> 0:02:33.560 You were kind of like, oh, maybe they've got something here. 0:02:33.600 --> 0:02:35.960 You know. Then you start to think about with Sam 0:02:36.040 --> 0:02:39.320 Williams and you know Fowler and all that, and I 0:02:39.360 --> 0:02:42.120 think Nick is dead on right. This was more about 0:02:42.200 --> 0:02:44.480 wanting to see Tack McKinley play. You know. This is 0:02:44.520 --> 0:02:47.280 about like trying to find a way to to you know, 0:02:47.360 --> 0:02:49.840 get him potentially on the field. Dan Quinn has a 0:02:50.240 --> 0:02:53.000 little bit of history with him, you know, understands his 0:02:53.120 --> 0:02:55.560 game and you know maybe could help you a little 0:02:55.600 --> 0:02:58.079 bit and some of that that, you know, the combo 0:02:58.240 --> 0:03:00.600 of being a run defender and all so being a 0:03:00.639 --> 0:03:04.680 pass rusher. Uh so. Yeah, and and to Ambar's point too. 0:03:05.040 --> 0:03:06.800 I know, talking to a lot of guys around the 0:03:06.880 --> 0:03:10.799 league during the trading deadline though that Basham's name was 0:03:10.840 --> 0:03:13.600 being thrown out there. That was a name that people like. 0:03:13.919 --> 0:03:15.800 I had a couple of teams say, yeah, you guys 0:03:15.800 --> 0:03:17.800 are kind of moving some guys. I'm like really, and 0:03:18.040 --> 0:03:20.120 Basham was one of the name And they end up 0:03:20.160 --> 0:03:22.240 moving on from guys that were on that, you know, 0:03:22.280 --> 0:03:24.440 on that trade deadline that you know, when you talk about, 0:03:24.800 --> 0:03:27.120 you know, with Tristan Hill, they're okay, we move on 0:03:27.200 --> 0:03:29.639 from him, and then Basham, Well, hey we got a guy, 0:03:29.680 --> 0:03:31.680 we like what we're seeing in the guy, and let's 0:03:31.720 --> 0:03:34.120 you know, let's give him a go here. So not 0:03:34.120 --> 0:03:36.680 not surprising in that way. It's three guys. Really, if 0:03:36.720 --> 0:03:39.400 you think about back to the preseason, you're like, okay, 0:03:39.680 --> 0:03:43.680 Basham and then Tristan Hill and Ridgeway. I mean, Bashway 0:03:43.680 --> 0:03:45.480 it was a guy that they thought, oh he was 0:03:45.520 --> 0:03:47.720 gonna make it, you know, but but Bohanna played better. 0:03:47.760 --> 0:03:50.800 This is other guys has played better. And Sam Williams 0:03:50.480 --> 0:03:54.200 is development is a big part of this too. They 0:03:54.320 --> 0:03:57.960 might have made a mistake on Ridgeway because starting any well, yeah, 0:03:58.000 --> 0:03:59.920 and I'm playing Overyeah was playing over there. I mean, 0:04:00.200 --> 0:04:03.960 make it tackles. See, that's the thing that plays in Arkansas. 0:04:04.040 --> 0:04:07.320 They were keeping the keeping the wide receivers, you know, 0:04:07.360 --> 0:04:10.120 they kept that wide receiver room kind of intact. And 0:04:10.120 --> 0:04:12.600 then you know, they went they kept all those guys, 0:04:12.640 --> 0:04:14.600 and then all of a sudden, you're like, well, these 0:04:14.600 --> 0:04:17.800 guys are playing just okay, you know. And and so 0:04:17.960 --> 0:04:22.120 then you sacrifice a defensive tackle that you know that 0:04:22.640 --> 0:04:24.720 you know when you're struggling against the run and not 0:04:24.760 --> 0:04:26.920 all of it is inside, but you're maybe a guy 0:04:27.000 --> 0:04:29.880 that down the line, you know, and Nick, you know, 0:04:29.960 --> 0:04:33.000 covers Arkansas loves Arkansas. I've seen a guy play a bunch. 0:04:33.040 --> 0:04:34.800 I mean he was a he was a kind of 0:04:34.839 --> 0:04:37.160 a difference maker as a big guy in there. And 0:04:37.480 --> 0:04:39.000 you're kind of like thinking, well, why you get rid 0:04:39.040 --> 0:04:41.240 of an offensive defensive lineman and then they go off 0:04:41.279 --> 0:04:43.680 and play and then you're looking at your wide receiver 0:04:43.839 --> 0:04:46.120 situation and go, well, you just could have very easily 0:04:46.160 --> 0:04:49.280 moved on from you know, one of these guys Hill 0:04:49.279 --> 0:04:51.200 if you're going to cut him eventually, I mean, just 0:04:51.720 --> 0:04:53.960 let him go. I think I think they got caught 0:04:54.000 --> 0:04:57.200 in a situation where if they were to do that over, Yeah, 0:04:57.360 --> 0:04:59.400 they wouldn't put it put Ridgeway out there. They just 0:04:59.400 --> 0:05:01.000 wouldn't have done well. It goes to what you were 0:05:01.000 --> 0:05:04.000 talking about yesterday. Coaches tend to like what they know, right, Yeah, 0:05:04.040 --> 0:05:05.719 And so you get in a situation like that where 0:05:05.720 --> 0:05:08.200 you're kind of debating Tristan Hill a Ridgeway and they're 0:05:08.240 --> 0:05:09.920 probably like, yeah, you know, I think we want to 0:05:09.920 --> 0:05:11.719 give Tristni a little bit more of an opportunity. We 0:05:11.720 --> 0:05:13.720 think we might have something well see. And also, I 0:05:13.800 --> 0:05:16.320 talked to some teams last night. I think Basham is 0:05:16.360 --> 0:05:18.839 going to get claimed, just from listening to some teams. 0:05:18.880 --> 0:05:20.760 Some of the guys that I talked to around the league, 0:05:20.760 --> 0:05:23.000 they're like, well, what did you know? Is he a 0:05:23.040 --> 0:05:25.680 bad guy? I'm like, no, no, no training camp everything. 0:05:25.680 --> 0:05:27.400 You know, they were asking me my opinion on him, 0:05:27.440 --> 0:05:29.600 and you know, they'd studied the tape on him. So 0:05:29.720 --> 0:05:32.200 I have a feeling today that you guys will probably 0:05:32.200 --> 0:05:34.239 write a little blip that he got claimed by somebody. 0:05:34.360 --> 0:05:36.720 You know, listen to what talking to guys from last night. 0:05:36.800 --> 0:05:40.000 There are obviously a few ahead. Then for one more thing, 0:05:40.320 --> 0:05:42.320 I said that about Tych McKinley, and I do believe 0:05:42.400 --> 0:05:44.960 McKinley's going to play, but they could still elevate him 0:05:44.960 --> 0:05:47.800 a couple of times. His roster spot they have fifty two. 0:05:48.080 --> 0:05:51.000 That roster spot, by Baschlor may not go to McKinley. 0:05:51.040 --> 0:05:55.080 It could go to James Washington, who because he's not 0:05:55.160 --> 0:05:57.040 on the practice squad, you could just move him over 0:05:57.080 --> 0:05:58.680 if they decide to do that. They have to do 0:05:58.720 --> 0:06:01.279 that today, and if that's what they're gonna do, maybe 0:06:01.440 --> 0:06:04.560 they could. So it is today a deadline, No, No, 0:06:04.640 --> 0:06:06.200 I just think that they've talked about it. I mean, 0:06:06.279 --> 0:06:09.360 Jerry's Washington, James Washington. Yes, but they're going to activate 0:06:09.360 --> 0:06:12.760 the twenty one day window practice right he could play 0:06:12.800 --> 0:06:15.640 if yeah, he want him to. So I'm just saying 0:06:15.720 --> 0:06:19.279 McKinley may not be the fifty third right now, but 0:06:20.080 --> 0:06:22.760 him playing and getting on the field with reps, it's 0:06:22.800 --> 0:06:26.360 probably you know, this whole thing with Odell Beckham and Washington. 0:06:26.520 --> 0:06:29.400 I really do believe that they were tied together because 0:06:29.440 --> 0:06:31.359 I didn't think they wanted to make two moves for 0:06:31.400 --> 0:06:34.400 wide receivers. I just really didn't. And maybe it's one 0:06:34.400 --> 0:06:38.480 of those things where they're preparing themselves for getting him 0:06:38.520 --> 0:06:41.440 practice time and getting him ready and get him acclimated 0:06:41.480 --> 0:06:45.680 again in like, Okay, if the Beckham thing doesn't work out, 0:06:45.800 --> 0:06:48.320 then we'll plug him in. But I was talking to 0:06:48.320 --> 0:06:51.360 somebody in the team and they're like, they're really not connected. 0:06:51.520 --> 0:06:54.000 But I just don't. I just you know, making two 0:06:54.080 --> 0:06:57.279 moves at wide receiver, you know, to add Beckham and 0:06:57.320 --> 0:07:00.400 then to have to add Washington, you know. I mean, 0:07:00.440 --> 0:07:03.160 you're like, I just didn't think they wanted to do that. 0:07:03.240 --> 0:07:06.159 I mean, a veteran receiver that don't play special teams 0:07:06.240 --> 0:07:09.239 d you need? Yeah, I mean, yeah, one's really dynamic obviously, 0:07:09.320 --> 0:07:11.520 and I'd be ready yet that that's the whole thing 0:07:11.600 --> 0:07:13.800 is about it. What's the knee looking? There's there's teams, 0:07:13.800 --> 0:07:15.560 by the way, there's people around the league that I'm 0:07:15.600 --> 0:07:18.000 talking to again last night that believe that Beckham's gonna 0:07:18.040 --> 0:07:21.680 end up in Buffalo. There's people saying that that that 0:07:21.760 --> 0:07:23.320 they feel like that he could very well end up 0:07:23.320 --> 0:07:27.040 in Buffalo. I guess that's the last of the last 0:07:27.160 --> 0:07:29.600 things that at a guy tell me, I'd a guy 0:07:29.640 --> 0:07:32.240 tell me. He said, listen, you think he wants to 0:07:32.280 --> 0:07:34.360 go to New York and play on that turf? He 0:07:34.440 --> 0:07:36.800 was he was. He was complaining about the turf. The 0:07:36.840 --> 0:07:40.440 Giants lost, somebody lost, the receiver lost, a player on 0:07:40.480 --> 0:07:42.560 the turf got all messed up, and you're like, the 0:07:42.560 --> 0:07:44.040 guy goes. You think he wants to go play on 0:07:44.080 --> 0:07:48.200 that turf after he's complaining about it, Well, well he's 0:07:48.200 --> 0:07:50.160 but he But the thing about it is they're saying, 0:07:50.240 --> 0:07:55.000 because Buffalo's, Buffalo's medical staff might just clear him, and 0:07:55.000 --> 0:07:57.600 and maybe that you'll get others will be like, maybe 0:07:57.640 --> 0:08:00.880 Dallas would be a little bit more, little bit more, Well, 0:08:01.040 --> 0:08:04.400 the knees not really this And I mean, nobody's gonna 0:08:04.440 --> 0:08:06.960 know this because we talked about this yesterday. You could 0:08:06.960 --> 0:08:08.920 bring him in and all that. But I had people 0:08:09.000 --> 0:08:11.600 tell me, you know, is he going to work out 0:08:11.640 --> 0:08:13.840 for you? Is he going to go out on the 0:08:13.840 --> 0:08:16.800 field and physically work out for you? That's how you 0:08:16.840 --> 0:08:18.920 would tell you could pull on and push on the 0:08:19.000 --> 0:08:21.840 knee and all that. But the guy told me around 0:08:21.880 --> 0:08:24.320 in the league, he says, when is a veteran player 0:08:24.400 --> 0:08:27.640 ever gone in and worked out for somebody like that? Yeah, 0:08:27.680 --> 0:08:30.040 I mean, but I don't know that that's necessarily a 0:08:30.040 --> 0:08:33.360 precursor here, Like, yeah, I honestly, the way I look 0:08:33.360 --> 0:08:36.160 at this as much as we've heard Jerry talk about 0:08:36.200 --> 0:08:39.120 the fact that they are definitely in this question they 0:08:39.120 --> 0:08:41.120 want him. Yeah, I don't know that that would be 0:08:41.160 --> 0:08:43.440 the thing that stopped them from saying, like I think 0:08:43.440 --> 0:08:46.200 they want their medical staff obviously to look at it. Absolutely, 0:08:46.320 --> 0:08:48.360 I don't know that getting him to do a workout 0:08:48.400 --> 0:08:51.000 is necessarily a precursor. And quite frankly, the way I 0:08:51.040 --> 0:08:53.480 look at it is, yeah, there's a chance he goes 0:08:53.520 --> 0:08:55.880 to Buffalo. I mean, obviously he's gonna go to Buffalo 0:08:55.679 --> 0:08:58.600 before he comes to Dallas. But also I'm hearing from 0:08:58.640 --> 0:09:01.560 a lot of people and Michael Irvan this morning talking 0:09:01.640 --> 0:09:04.319 on Sean and RJ on one on five out three 0:09:04.360 --> 0:09:07.000 the Fan, and he was like, Hey, I know, Olddel, 0:09:07.040 --> 0:09:09.480 I've talked to him, I've talked this shortly. He has 0:09:09.480 --> 0:09:11.760 always wanted to play in Dallas. That has been something 0:09:11.800 --> 0:09:13.920 he's always wanted to do because of the fact he's 0:09:13.960 --> 0:09:16.560 got family here and he's just always wanted to play 0:09:16.800 --> 0:09:19.640 for this team. So there's there's a lot of factors here. 0:09:19.720 --> 0:09:21.760 And no, there's no question. I mean I'm on the 0:09:21.840 --> 0:09:24.360 seventy five percent train of him being here and then 0:09:24.400 --> 0:09:26.480 but the more you talk to people around the league. 0:09:26.880 --> 0:09:30.000 There's doubt, there's there's there's creative doubting. But here's the thing. 0:09:30.040 --> 0:09:32.160 The way I look at it is I always look 0:09:32.200 --> 0:09:34.640 at it like, who's gonna be doing the selling. I 0:09:34.679 --> 0:09:36.880 don't know who's doing the selling in Buffalo. I know 0:09:36.920 --> 0:09:39.040 the guy doing the selling here. He's probably one of 0:09:39.080 --> 0:09:41.320 the best sellers and I've ever met. So I'm gonna 0:09:41.360 --> 0:09:43.000 bet on the fact that if it comes down to 0:09:43.120 --> 0:09:45.240 selling and if he really wants him, yeah, if he 0:09:45.280 --> 0:09:47.640 really wants him, I don't think there's I think he'll 0:09:47.679 --> 0:09:49.280 probably end up on Can I ask you a question? 0:09:49.280 --> 0:09:51.160 This might be unfair to you. Then, since you've taken 0:09:51.200 --> 0:09:53.800 that approach, do you worry about Jerry over right? Do 0:09:53.840 --> 0:09:56.680 you do? You do you worry about the situation where 0:09:56.720 --> 0:09:59.120 if Jerry wants the guy, he gets the guy. Do 0:09:59.160 --> 0:10:01.440 you think he gets any interference from Stephen on this one? 0:10:02.320 --> 0:10:04.640 I don't think so. Okay, I don't think so. I mean, 0:10:04.679 --> 0:10:05.880 I think I think at the end of the day, 0:10:05.880 --> 0:10:08.080 I know it's probably an unfair question. I think, honestly, 0:10:08.080 --> 0:10:09.680 I think and I know there's a lot of talk 0:10:09.720 --> 0:10:13.000 about Jerry Steven that hole, that nature let's be honest. 0:10:13.280 --> 0:10:15.319 At the end of the day, if Jerry really wants something, 0:10:15.400 --> 0:10:17.360 I totally agree. I don't care who in the building, 0:10:17.400 --> 0:10:21.080 including Steven, that doesn't want it. Jerry is still in 0:10:21.120 --> 0:10:23.760 the position where he is the final safe. Absolutely. Yeah, 0:10:24.000 --> 0:10:26.560 and let's let's not forget that that that's a good thing. 0:10:26.720 --> 0:10:29.559 I mean, like like him. Everyone knows the story pushed 0:10:29.600 --> 0:10:31.480 him up against the wall against you know, with Deon 0:10:31.640 --> 0:10:33.560 and is this a smart move and all this kind 0:10:33.600 --> 0:10:36.240 of stuff. But I mean, you know, you don't have 0:10:36.320 --> 0:10:38.560 Zach Martin and you have and you have Johnny Manzel. 0:10:38.600 --> 0:10:41.880 If somebody doesn't stand up to Jerry to Jerry sometimes 0:10:41.880 --> 0:10:43.880 and go, this isn't the best move for us. So 0:10:44.240 --> 0:10:45.800 it's not the worst thing in the world to have 0:10:45.840 --> 0:10:47.640 a guy that says, all right, let's think about this 0:10:47.720 --> 0:10:50.280 long term, you know. And they still got yeah, well 0:10:50.280 --> 0:10:52.760 they got Deon, but but but yeah, you might do 0:10:52.760 --> 0:10:54.800 whatever it takes to get Odell Beckham. And then and 0:10:55.080 --> 0:10:57.400 you know, March comes and you're like, dang, we lost Pollard, 0:10:57.679 --> 0:10:59.439 we lost this guy. We lost this guy. Will we 0:10:59.559 --> 0:11:02.000 home the money? But you got Odell, who we played 0:11:02.040 --> 0:11:03.920 two games for me and limped around for a little bit, 0:11:04.000 --> 0:11:07.680 you know. I mean, like he somebody has to think 0:11:07.679 --> 0:11:10.800 about next year, and I know everyone's just focused all in, 0:11:10.880 --> 0:11:13.080 but that's that's not the way it works. Ask you 0:11:13.080 --> 0:11:16.280 guys something. And since we don't know what's going to happen, 0:11:16.400 --> 0:11:18.600 and we've seen it before, we're like Earl Thomas, we 0:11:18.679 --> 0:11:22.680 talked about him since forever and ever actually happened. We 0:11:22.760 --> 0:11:29.040 know this is something very well well different fact. Yeah, 0:11:29.080 --> 0:11:32.360 but um in an instance that it does not happen 0:11:32.559 --> 0:11:36.480 for whatever reason. Uh, Based on what you've seen so 0:11:36.520 --> 0:11:40.040 far since Dak's return and how the offense has been operating, 0:11:40.120 --> 0:11:43.960 do you guys currently feel that this offense, specifically talking 0:11:44.000 --> 0:11:47.839 about the wide receiver position, is this offense enough to 0:11:48.720 --> 0:11:52.040 be competitive to that level without the need of adding 0:11:52.760 --> 0:11:56.720 extra talent at the white receiver? Has your mind changed 0:11:56.840 --> 0:11:59.760 whatsoever so far? Remember that question we had yesterday about 0:11:59.760 --> 0:12:02.360 who would you who's going to help you more? Tyrann 0:12:02.480 --> 0:12:05.760 Smith or Odell Beckham. Yeah, See that's the thing I 0:12:05.800 --> 0:12:08.800 look at To answer your question. I just focus back 0:12:08.800 --> 0:12:10.680 to the Green Bay game in that fourth and three 0:12:10.840 --> 0:12:13.560 and I just know this guy can go and make plays. 0:12:13.760 --> 0:12:16.280 I mean, can he make two three of those a 0:12:16.320 --> 0:12:18.680 game that that might be all you need. You know, 0:12:18.760 --> 0:12:21.480 that might be all you need. He might have five targets. 0:12:21.600 --> 0:12:24.880 Nick went through the targets with you yesterday. It seemed 0:12:24.880 --> 0:12:26.920 like it was eleven and it was five. It was three, 0:12:26.960 --> 0:12:28.679 it was five, it was seven. It was kind of 0:12:29.280 --> 0:12:31.360 if I know that five times, I'm gonna throw them 0:12:31.360 --> 0:12:33.199 the ball and he's gonna probably catch the ball all 0:12:33.240 --> 0:12:36.080 five times. I have a feeling they're gonna be big, big, 0:12:36.080 --> 0:12:38.439 big plays. I do. I just feel like third down, 0:12:38.920 --> 0:12:41.440 four downs, you know the way that this coach goes 0:12:41.480 --> 0:12:44.920 for it, you know, throw it at this guy separates 0:12:44.920 --> 0:12:46.559 in the red zone. You know you could throw the 0:12:46.600 --> 0:12:48.640 ball to him down there. He's gonna make somebody miss. 0:12:49.320 --> 0:12:52.680 I'm I'm the guy that is. I'm about pushing the 0:12:52.760 --> 0:12:55.280 chips now, and I think the owner is too. Yeah, 0:12:55.280 --> 0:12:56.840 I think the owner. And that's why I asked Derek 0:12:56.880 --> 0:13:00.320 that question, because I think the owner will tell Stevens like, listen, 0:13:00.360 --> 0:13:03.000 I'm eighty years old. Have you've seen what's going on 0:13:03.040 --> 0:13:06.280 in this conference? Right now? Brady ain't worth a damn 0:13:06.360 --> 0:13:08.640 right now, Rogers ain't even part of this thing. We 0:13:08.679 --> 0:13:11.760 gotta go beat San Francisco or Philadelphia who we almost 0:13:11.760 --> 0:13:15.439 beat with a backup quarterback and three turnovers. Yeah, everything. Yeah, 0:13:15.480 --> 0:13:17.560 you gotta give me this one last shot here. You 0:13:17.720 --> 0:13:20.160 figure this thing out. If like Nick told you, which 0:13:20.200 --> 0:13:24.199 was great information yesterday, if you have Beckham contract, you 0:13:24.280 --> 0:13:27.480 gotta think about CD contract two. Yeah, that's great information 0:13:27.600 --> 0:13:29.760 right there. You know you're I'm sure I'm looking to 0:13:29.760 --> 0:13:32.400 see him like you figure it out. You figure it out. 0:13:32.400 --> 0:13:34.840 I'm eighty damn years old. You know I might not 0:13:34.920 --> 0:13:37.280 have another run at this again. You know, you figure 0:13:37.320 --> 0:13:39.679 this out. And I think the thing about it too, 0:13:39.760 --> 0:13:42.160 is you this um kind of lost my thought. I 0:13:42.200 --> 0:13:45.080 was just gonna let me, let me just jump in then, 0:13:45.160 --> 0:13:47.440 because I think Will McClay has the factor into this 0:13:47.520 --> 0:13:51.320 as well. And not and and project Okay is uh, 0:13:51.400 --> 0:13:53.800 how old is Odell? I don't even thirty years old? Okay, 0:13:53.840 --> 0:13:58.120 so thirty one two thirty three year old Odell Beckham? 0:13:58.160 --> 0:14:02.920 You know if he wants to four year deal? Yeah right, 0:14:03.000 --> 0:14:06.200 that's my story because I want the player right now. 0:14:06.280 --> 0:14:09.120 But I think it's it's important though, to have to 0:14:09.240 --> 0:14:11.199 look at what he's going to do next year, the 0:14:11.280 --> 0:14:13.640 year after. I mean, this is an investment this is 0:14:13.640 --> 0:14:16.000 what you you know, I kind of compared to the 0:14:16.040 --> 0:14:19.160 Dion Sanders thing. He's played seven eight years. But we're 0:14:19.200 --> 0:14:22.440 doing this for that last half of his career, the 0:14:22.560 --> 0:14:25.080 last few years, last big contract for him. It's not 0:14:25.120 --> 0:14:27.240 just about these few games. Does he fit into what 0:14:27.280 --> 0:14:29.280 you're trying to do for the next couple of years. Yeah, 0:14:29.280 --> 0:14:31.240 I think I think that's what they have to figure out. 0:14:31.240 --> 0:14:32.640 I will throw us out. I just remember what else. 0:14:32.760 --> 0:14:36.680 Trying to say that, I still believe I'm being cautiously 0:14:36.720 --> 0:14:40.440 optimistic because that we talked about this weeks ago, and 0:14:40.520 --> 0:14:42.160 I said at the time, I was one of people 0:14:42.160 --> 0:14:44.240 are like, I don't know about this kind of signing 0:14:44.520 --> 0:14:47.640 because what I still don't know is is he Odell 0:14:47.720 --> 0:14:50.360 Beckham Junior that I'm used to sing, We don't know that. 0:14:50.920 --> 0:14:54.600 And so if he is. If he is, this will 0:14:54.640 --> 0:14:57.200 be a signing that could definitely put them over the top. 0:14:57.240 --> 0:14:59.200 To answer your question, this is the kind of signing 0:14:59.440 --> 0:15:02.280 that you get guy like this. I guarantee you it 0:15:02.320 --> 0:15:04.960 can pay dividends if he is the Odell Beckham that 0:15:05.040 --> 0:15:07.520 he was, because it certainly did for the Rams in 0:15:07.560 --> 0:15:09.640 that Super Bowl. He was having a game before he 0:15:09.880 --> 0:15:12.440 was a. Yeah, he was having a game, and so 0:15:12.840 --> 0:15:14.720 you put you had that kind of player to what 0:15:14.760 --> 0:15:18.480 you already have. Now I look at this offense and say, man, 0:15:18.840 --> 0:15:21.000 is the offense as good as the defense? Maybe they 0:15:21.000 --> 0:15:23.600 are right, and that's where you're really working with something, 0:15:23.600 --> 0:15:26.240 and you can contend with the teams like Philadelphia, like 0:15:26.360 --> 0:15:30.760 San Francisco, like the Chiefs, like the Bills, like you 0:15:30.840 --> 0:15:32.880 have that level of talent where you can compete with 0:15:32.920 --> 0:15:35.560 all those teams and don't feel in any way that 0:15:35.600 --> 0:15:38.440 you're compromised. I think he can provide that kind of 0:15:38.720 --> 0:15:41.920 value for you if he is Oldell Beckham that he 0:15:42.080 --> 0:15:46.080 was before. Remember when we were waiting for Dak's return 0:15:46.160 --> 0:15:48.960 and the thumb and you asked the question about like, okay, 0:15:49.120 --> 0:15:51.760 is ninety percent Dak better than what you got it 0:15:51.800 --> 0:15:55.560 with a Cooper Rush and what he was doing at 0:15:55.560 --> 0:15:58.400 the time. So same question, what would be the least 0:15:58.720 --> 0:16:01.840 I'm on a percentage that you would take an Odell 0:16:01.960 --> 0:16:05.400 beck You're not supposed to ask question. Those are my question. 0:16:06.000 --> 0:16:07.680 Now that's from my games. What do you do? I'm 0:16:07.680 --> 0:16:09.640 gonna use that on the radio. By the way, I'm 0:16:09.640 --> 0:16:11.040 gonna use that on the radio. I'm gonna steal if 0:16:11.040 --> 0:16:14.560 I'll give you credit, there a g I don't know 0:16:14.640 --> 0:16:17.320 if you give me, you give him firt of all, 0:16:17.360 --> 0:16:19.480 Let's think about it like this, he's gonna be if 0:16:19.560 --> 0:16:21.920 if you think he's gonna be your third wide receiver. 0:16:21.960 --> 0:16:23.480 We talked about that yesterday where he falls on the 0:16:23.520 --> 0:16:25.760 depth chart, Let's say he's at least your third wide receiver. 0:16:26.280 --> 0:16:29.720 I do think in eighty percent, Odell Beckham Junior is 0:16:29.760 --> 0:16:33.920 probably better than Noel Brown, Right, so he adds value 0:16:33.920 --> 0:16:36.960 to you at eighty percent, maybe seventy five percent. I 0:16:37.040 --> 0:16:39.320 was going, I was going around sixty five. Ye at 0:16:39.400 --> 0:16:42.120 sixty five, I am just because I feel like though 0:16:42.160 --> 0:16:44.320 there could be those two or three players a game, 0:16:44.720 --> 0:16:47.160 there could be that you know, it's it's you know, 0:16:47.200 --> 0:16:49.040 they run the ball and run the ball. Oh wait, 0:16:49.120 --> 0:16:51.720 it's now it's third and six, you know, and now 0:16:51.760 --> 0:16:54.480 you need Okay, he's gonna shake somebody for a gain 0:16:54.520 --> 0:16:57.320 of eight or shake somebody for ten, you know, and 0:16:57.360 --> 0:16:59.920 then you're gonna keep playing the game, keep playing the game, 0:17:00.160 --> 0:17:01.600 and then you know they're gonna get down the goal 0:17:01.600 --> 0:17:03.360 line and it's gonna it's gonna be like it was 0:17:03.360 --> 0:17:05.679 like in the other day third and fifteen, they have 0:17:05.760 --> 0:17:09.120 to throw a clutch pass to Dalton Schultz to convert. 0:17:09.240 --> 0:17:11.800 I'm thinking, and you got a guy like Beckham, you know, 0:17:11.840 --> 0:17:15.240 it's maybe sixty five percent, you know, catches that ball 0:17:15.480 --> 0:17:19.520 beat somebody, you know, get separation a little bit easier throw. 0:17:20.280 --> 0:17:22.200 That's kind of what I'm thinking about, you know what. 0:17:22.359 --> 0:17:24.720 I think that's kind of I think it's a great question. 0:17:24.800 --> 0:17:27.800 But I also think in a way it's irrelevant because 0:17:28.440 --> 0:17:30.960 it Odell's gonna want one hundred percent of the money, 0:17:31.160 --> 0:17:35.160 you know, so if it takes it where you want 0:17:35.160 --> 0:17:37.960 to go, which is true super Bowl's And that's why 0:17:37.960 --> 0:17:40.040 I came back to what I said about the next 0:17:40.119 --> 0:17:41.880 year and the next year, like if you think, okay, 0:17:42.040 --> 0:17:43.639 we'll see what he can do. Can he help you 0:17:43.680 --> 0:17:45.320 a little bit a couple of plays a game like that, 0:17:45.359 --> 0:17:47.080 but then the next year, like you've got a really 0:17:47.160 --> 0:17:51.439 dynamic Yeah, That's That's where I'm at. Though. Two to me, 0:17:51.800 --> 0:17:54.840 I'm willing to if as a fan, I would be 0:17:54.880 --> 0:17:57.520 willing for them to try. You know, if you if 0:17:57.560 --> 0:17:59.560 you just try for me, you know, and if it 0:17:59.560 --> 0:18:02.800 doesn't work out, I can't blame you. You tried, you know, 0:18:02.880 --> 0:18:04.960 as a fan, you're like that, you can't call into 0:18:05.280 --> 0:18:08.280 our show here one oh five three and yell and say, oh, 0:18:08.320 --> 0:18:10.320 the Cowboys sucked it, don't do you know? No, you 0:18:10.359 --> 0:18:12.760 can't because they tried. I can't. I can do a 0:18:12.760 --> 0:18:16.080 little bit, though. If you pay him really good money 0:18:16.119 --> 0:18:17.639 to come in at the end of the season and 0:18:17.680 --> 0:18:19.119 do this and then we'll see what happens in the 0:18:19.119 --> 0:18:21.000 next couple of years, then you should have kept up 0:18:21.040 --> 0:18:23.640
