0:00:59.440 --> 0:01:03.400
<v Speaker 1>is south teen days away from the first day of

0:01:03.520 --> 0:01:07.600
<v Speaker 1>the NFL Draft. I am Bill Jones. We've got Everson

0:01:07.720 --> 0:01:12.160
<v Speaker 1>Walls sitting in Mickey Spagnola's seat. So, Everson, you are

0:01:12.200 --> 0:01:15.120
<v Speaker 1>the star of this show. I am captain now, that's right,

0:01:16.040 --> 0:01:21.000
<v Speaker 1>Yes you are. And we have Mickey Spagnola's somewhere and

0:01:21.040 --> 0:01:23.440
<v Speaker 1>we hope to have him on the show at some

0:01:23.520 --> 0:01:25.600
<v Speaker 1>point over the course of the next forty five minutes

0:01:25.720 --> 0:01:27.800
<v Speaker 1>or so if I say if I say so, I

0:01:27.840 --> 0:01:31.840
<v Speaker 1>will allow Spags to come on. I am the man, right,

0:01:31.920 --> 0:01:35.560
<v Speaker 1>you gotta get me, look, get me. It's been a

0:01:35.560 --> 0:01:39.120
<v Speaker 1>while since we've had a chance to hear Everson's thoughts

0:01:39.120 --> 0:01:41.240
<v Speaker 1>on what's going on. So we got some ketchup to

0:01:41.280 --> 0:01:46.360
<v Speaker 1>do here. Over been some goods, been some good news.

0:01:46.400 --> 0:01:49.680
<v Speaker 1>I think we've been signing the right people right to

0:01:49.800 --> 0:01:52.800
<v Speaker 1>make things happen, like taking care of business to get

0:01:52.800 --> 0:01:56.639
<v Speaker 1>to where you don't have to reach. Come April twenty

0:01:56.640 --> 0:02:00.440
<v Speaker 1>seventh in the draft, still happy about the wide receiver signing. Yeah,

0:02:00.480 --> 0:02:03.720
<v Speaker 1>when you get a thousand yards with five different teams,

0:02:03.760 --> 0:02:06.080
<v Speaker 1>we'll jump into that right off the top here. But

0:02:06.360 --> 0:02:10.520
<v Speaker 1>you know, we're looking at here. Over the last couple

0:02:10.560 --> 0:02:14.720
<v Speaker 1>of weeks, we had what baseball opening day, we had

0:02:14.760 --> 0:02:18.880
<v Speaker 1>to college basketball champions. They're all right, they're a game

0:02:18.880 --> 0:02:22.280
<v Speaker 1>over five. Not as well over the weekend, but I

0:02:22.360 --> 0:02:26.000
<v Speaker 1>had the college basketball champion crown a week ago. We

0:02:26.120 --> 0:02:29.799
<v Speaker 1>had the Masters over the weekend, the women's game. Man,

0:02:29.919 --> 0:02:32.600
<v Speaker 1>come on, that's right now. W NBA is gonna be hot.

0:02:33.280 --> 0:02:37.880
<v Speaker 1>You get you got everybody's gonna be walking out like this. Now.

0:02:37.880 --> 0:02:41.480
<v Speaker 1>We're getting excited about the Stars starting the playoffs, and

0:02:41.520 --> 0:02:46.600
<v Speaker 1>we're getting excited about the Mavericks in the draft. Line

0:02:48.680 --> 0:02:51.520
<v Speaker 1>talk about how about that? Talk about choices, right choices?

0:02:52.240 --> 0:02:55.560
<v Speaker 1>If you were a player, okay, and you're you've got

0:02:55.600 --> 0:03:00.360
<v Speaker 1>two games left in your season, and you have chance

0:03:00.760 --> 0:03:04.079
<v Speaker 1>to get into a play in tournament, and you still

0:03:04.120 --> 0:03:06.799
<v Speaker 1>have a postseason chance however you can get. And then

0:03:06.880 --> 0:03:10.120
<v Speaker 1>you find out at eleven o'clock on Friday morning, the

0:03:10.240 --> 0:03:13.639
<v Speaker 1>morning of a game, that you're not playing the night

0:03:13.919 --> 0:03:18.320
<v Speaker 1>and you're not playing Sunday, and your season not just you,

0:03:18.400 --> 0:03:21.240
<v Speaker 1>a few other guys blood got pulled on your season.

0:03:21.320 --> 0:03:24.120
<v Speaker 1>What would ever sin Wall's reaction be? You know, not

0:03:24.160 --> 0:03:27.080
<v Speaker 1>only that it was the fact that you faked us

0:03:27.080 --> 0:03:31.840
<v Speaker 1>out with Luca, you know, like you played him why

0:03:31.919 --> 0:03:36.040
<v Speaker 1>but yeah on Friday because it was Slovenian Night at

0:03:36.080 --> 0:03:40.240
<v Speaker 1>the right No, no, it was. It was a special night.

0:03:42.560 --> 0:03:45.760
<v Speaker 1>That's why he played. He played a quard makes this

0:03:45.880 --> 0:03:49.960
<v Speaker 1>even funnier. Man, Come in, come on, I mean, I'm

0:03:50.000 --> 0:03:53.360
<v Speaker 1>sure Slovenian people are great people, but who cares about

0:03:53.360 --> 0:03:56.040
<v Speaker 1>that when you know you're taking the game? That's right,

0:03:56.120 --> 0:03:57.960
<v Speaker 1>that's why he played the first quarter of the game.

0:03:58.360 --> 0:04:03.240
<v Speaker 1>But even beyond beyond that, I had Chuck Cooperstein, the

0:04:03.360 --> 0:04:06.160
<v Speaker 1>radio voice of The Mavericks, on a show on CBS

0:04:06.280 --> 0:04:08.560
<v Speaker 1>last night, and he was talking about on Wednesday he

0:04:08.640 --> 0:04:12.280
<v Speaker 1>was stunned that the decision was made. And on Wednesday night,

0:04:12.840 --> 0:04:16.320
<v Speaker 1>they played, as Chuck put it, maybe their best game

0:04:16.360 --> 0:04:19.600
<v Speaker 1>of the season, beating beating a Sacramental team that's really

0:04:19.600 --> 0:04:21.520
<v Speaker 1>good this year, and they beat him one twenty three

0:04:21.600 --> 0:04:25.000
<v Speaker 1>one nineteen, okay, and kept those hopes alive and still

0:04:25.040 --> 0:04:28.400
<v Speaker 1>just so. Then on the heels of that, the plug

0:04:28.400 --> 0:04:32.560
<v Speaker 1>gets pulled. Whatever doesn't make it. I was just I

0:04:32.680 --> 0:04:35.720
<v Speaker 1>was just wondering if Everson Walls was on this team.

0:04:35.800 --> 0:04:38.120
<v Speaker 1>And the thing about it is everyone the players have

0:04:38.240 --> 0:04:42.120
<v Speaker 1>been quiet about it. Everson would be so vocal about it.

0:04:43.560 --> 0:04:45.880
<v Speaker 1>I know I wouldn't be like Hyrie. I would show up.

0:04:46.560 --> 0:04:48.720
<v Speaker 1>I think he's I think he knows himself better than

0:04:48.760 --> 0:04:53.320
<v Speaker 1>not to show up. Yeah, well, because agency he's gotten,

0:04:53.320 --> 0:04:57.680
<v Speaker 1>either himself or his agent has advised him. Uh, you

0:04:57.800 --> 0:05:00.680
<v Speaker 1>just lay low, We don't. There's no rea for you

0:05:00.720 --> 0:05:03.680
<v Speaker 1>to comment on this because he will be connected to

0:05:03.720 --> 0:05:07.919
<v Speaker 1>this explosion. Right. He was friendly and there's no governor

0:05:08.000 --> 0:05:12.279
<v Speaker 1>on his mouth, and so he would. He speaks his mind,

0:05:12.520 --> 0:05:15.279
<v Speaker 1>as it's been proven time and again, and Eversince speaks

0:05:15.320 --> 0:05:17.120
<v Speaker 1>his mind too, So that's why I would love to

0:05:17.160 --> 0:05:21.920
<v Speaker 1>hear whatever. So I definitely be extremely confused. I think

0:05:21.960 --> 0:05:24.200
<v Speaker 1>I'd be more like Luca at this point, really, because

0:05:24.200 --> 0:05:26.800
<v Speaker 1>he was trying his best to just you know, he

0:05:26.920 --> 0:05:29.520
<v Speaker 1>was just trying. He said, I didn't like it, but

0:05:29.560 --> 0:05:33.520
<v Speaker 1>he was very short with That's good for him, yeah,

0:05:33.560 --> 0:05:36.400
<v Speaker 1>because he's he's he's a bit explosive as well. Yeah.

0:05:37.240 --> 0:05:42.039
<v Speaker 1>So anyway, there you go, and Mickey Spagnola might be

0:05:42.120 --> 0:05:44.279
<v Speaker 1>joining us here. Man, we don't need Spags. Keep it

0:05:44.320 --> 0:05:47.680
<v Speaker 1>going both, we don't need him. Hey. Oh damn, hey

0:05:47.760 --> 0:05:53.760
<v Speaker 1>sas Hey buddy, Hey o pal, the seat's really warm

0:05:53.800 --> 0:05:58.400
<v Speaker 1>over here, Thank you, sir. Well mine's getting warm more.

0:05:58.440 --> 0:06:01.839
<v Speaker 1>I'm right now. And are you going to reveal where

0:06:01.880 --> 0:06:08.960
<v Speaker 1>you are or you want to leave that you're gonna do? Yeah? Yeah,

0:06:09.040 --> 0:06:13.280
<v Speaker 1>and my white wall behind me didn't work, so so

0:06:13.320 --> 0:06:15.840
<v Speaker 1>we got your other phone line anyway, So wherever you are,

0:06:16.360 --> 0:06:19.520
<v Speaker 1>there are phone lines. Okay, So Mickey, we're just getting

0:06:19.520 --> 0:06:21.279
<v Speaker 1>started here, and I don't know if you've been able

0:06:21.320 --> 0:06:24.640
<v Speaker 1>to listen right off the top. But one of the

0:06:24.720 --> 0:06:27.760
<v Speaker 1>things that Everson just alluded to, which we might as

0:06:27.800 --> 0:06:32.080
<v Speaker 1>well start with that, and it's the wide receiver situation,

0:06:32.640 --> 0:06:34.640
<v Speaker 1>not only on this team but around the league in

0:06:34.680 --> 0:06:39.520
<v Speaker 1>the big news yesterday O b J agreeing to terms

0:06:39.520 --> 0:06:42.720
<v Speaker 1>with the Baltimore Ravens. It is a reported one year,

0:06:43.560 --> 0:06:47.679
<v Speaker 1>fifteen million dollars guaranteed salary, with the possibility of getting

0:06:47.680 --> 0:06:50.919
<v Speaker 1>it up to eighteen million with incentives. And I am

0:06:51.080 --> 0:06:54.320
<v Speaker 1>stunned that team gave him that kind of money with

0:06:54.400 --> 0:06:57.080
<v Speaker 1>the market that we've seen for wide receivers, which has

0:06:57.080 --> 0:07:00.680
<v Speaker 1>been basically around the eleven million dollar year range here,

0:07:00.680 --> 0:07:04.440
<v Speaker 1>and he hadn't played any year, and especially since they

0:07:04.480 --> 0:07:07.839
<v Speaker 1>won't pay the quarterback what he's looking for. I'm sure

0:07:07.960 --> 0:07:11.040
<v Speaker 1>this I'm trying to figure out. Did this go over

0:07:11.200 --> 0:07:14.120
<v Speaker 1>real well that they got me a weapon, or the

0:07:14.160 --> 0:07:17.440
<v Speaker 1>fact that they spent fifteen million dollars and a guy

0:07:17.600 --> 0:07:22.040
<v Speaker 1>that hasn't played in a year over a year, but

0:07:22.080 --> 0:07:26.360
<v Speaker 1>they gave him fifteen million dollars. You know, right now

0:07:26.480 --> 0:07:31.240
<v Speaker 1>OBJ is sitting there thinking, and you guys thought I

0:07:31.320 --> 0:07:35.000
<v Speaker 1>was just fishing. I got I got the money I

0:07:35.120 --> 0:07:39.560
<v Speaker 1>wanted all this time. I would imagine Spags his his

0:07:39.640 --> 0:07:43.160
<v Speaker 1>workouts had to be good, right, because you think they did.

0:07:43.360 --> 0:07:46.680
<v Speaker 1>I haven't read anything that he worked out. It was

0:07:46.960 --> 0:07:50.840
<v Speaker 1>well worked out, you mean personally with the with the Ravens,

0:07:50.840 --> 0:07:53.160
<v Speaker 1>he had had a Yeah, he had a workout that

0:07:53.200 --> 0:07:56.680
<v Speaker 1>teams attended. Yeah, he did a couple of weeks ago. Yeah,

0:07:56.720 --> 0:07:59.000
<v Speaker 1>it must have been. It must have been. Yeah, he

0:07:59.080 --> 0:08:03.120
<v Speaker 1>looked video I saw looked great. Yeah, yeah, so interesting.

0:08:03.160 --> 0:08:05.360
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, I mean, you know the fact that he

0:08:05.600 --> 0:08:07.800
<v Speaker 1>finally got the workout. I think that's what a lot

0:08:07.840 --> 0:08:10.440
<v Speaker 1>of teams are waiting on. If he didn't get fifteen,

0:08:11.000 --> 0:08:13.680
<v Speaker 1>he may have gone to the Jets. And that was

0:08:13.680 --> 0:08:16.000
<v Speaker 1>the speculation that he was going to visit New York

0:08:16.040 --> 0:08:19.360
<v Speaker 1>and the Jets today. And uh so maybe that was

0:08:19.480 --> 0:08:22.640
<v Speaker 1>enough to push the Ravens to up the endy and

0:08:22.680 --> 0:08:25.440
<v Speaker 1>he said, Okay, first team that offers me fifteen, I'm

0:08:25.440 --> 0:08:29.640
<v Speaker 1>taking it. And he's hook it. Yea. It can't be

0:08:29.720 --> 0:08:32.080
<v Speaker 1>just the money, can It can't be just the model, right,

0:08:32.120 --> 0:08:34.800
<v Speaker 1>He's got to know something's going coming down the line.

0:08:34.960 --> 0:08:37.920
<v Speaker 1>He's not just going to Baltimore for the money. He's

0:08:37.920 --> 0:08:41.120
<v Speaker 1>going because he knows something. Right. Well, that's what I

0:08:41.160 --> 0:08:43.640
<v Speaker 1>was getting ready to say. Maybe he knew more about

0:08:43.679 --> 0:08:46.680
<v Speaker 1>the quarterback situation in Baltimore than he knew about the

0:08:46.720 --> 0:08:53.080
<v Speaker 1>quarterback situation with the Jets. That's crazy, but good point. Yeah,

0:08:52.600 --> 0:08:55.480
<v Speaker 1>I'm thinking like the Jets are done deal. Also I'm

0:08:55.679 --> 0:09:00.240
<v Speaker 1>having myself team yeah, and each team is hanging there saying, hey,

0:09:00.240 --> 0:09:01.960
<v Speaker 1>this is what we want to do, but they hadn't

0:09:02.040 --> 0:09:08.680
<v Speaker 1>done it yet and it's April tenth. That's right, there

0:09:08.800 --> 0:09:11.960
<v Speaker 1>is There are new reports that the Rogers to the

0:09:12.040 --> 0:09:16.880
<v Speaker 1>Jets deal will probably get done during the draft. But

0:09:17.000 --> 0:09:22.400
<v Speaker 1>I think I think also the Ravens probably and maybe

0:09:22.400 --> 0:09:26.880
<v Speaker 1>in their negotiations with with Lamar Jackson, he's been concerned,

0:09:26.920 --> 0:09:29.680
<v Speaker 1>as Everson has pointed out that they haven't had a

0:09:29.679 --> 0:09:32.400
<v Speaker 1>Pro Bowl received wide receiver on that team. They have

0:09:32.880 --> 0:09:36.680
<v Speaker 1>tied end Mark Andrews. But uh, this in a way

0:09:36.840 --> 0:09:40.000
<v Speaker 1>sweetens the pot for Lamar Jackson by bringing in OBJ,

0:09:40.160 --> 0:09:44.760
<v Speaker 1>because you know OBJ has had conversations with Lamar Jackson. Yeah,

0:09:44.800 --> 0:09:53.360
<v Speaker 1>and so there's only one pot Lamar Jackson wants sweet sweetened. Right. Well, Uh,

0:09:54.000 --> 0:09:58.800
<v Speaker 1>Bill was saying he should fire his agent. Lamar should

0:09:58.840 --> 0:10:02.640
<v Speaker 1>fire his agent himself and hire ob J's agent. They'll

0:10:02.640 --> 0:10:09.360
<v Speaker 1>get the deal done. That I'm fired. I'm fired. But

0:10:09.720 --> 0:10:12.560
<v Speaker 1>that brings us back to the Cowboys because obviously the

0:10:12.600 --> 0:10:16.040
<v Speaker 1>Cowboys had ob j n during the regular season back

0:10:16.080 --> 0:10:19.240
<v Speaker 1>in December what four months ago, and there was still

0:10:19.320 --> 0:10:23.720
<v Speaker 1>speculation going into this offseason that ob j might wind

0:10:23.840 --> 0:10:26.640
<v Speaker 1>up here in Dallas, and in the meantime, the Cowboys

0:10:26.679 --> 0:10:29.760
<v Speaker 1>pulled off the deal about three weeks ago now on

0:10:29.800 --> 0:10:33.040
<v Speaker 1>a Sunday morning with the Houston Texans and send a

0:10:33.080 --> 0:10:36.160
<v Speaker 1>fifth round draft pick to Houston in exchange for Brandon Cooks.

0:10:36.160 --> 0:10:39.360
<v Speaker 1>And I don't know about y'all, but I like havin

0:10:39.400 --> 0:10:43.360
<v Speaker 1>Brandon Cooks on this with and I like the fact

0:10:43.360 --> 0:10:46.320
<v Speaker 1>that he played last year and he's not coming off

0:10:46.320 --> 0:10:51.400
<v Speaker 1>with two torn acls on the same knee. You know,

0:10:51.440 --> 0:10:54.000
<v Speaker 1>when you think of a wide receiver like that. And

0:10:54.040 --> 0:10:57.400
<v Speaker 1>I don't know what we're gonna do with t Y,

0:10:58.080 --> 0:11:03.200
<v Speaker 1>but you have two very precise route runners with it.

0:11:03.240 --> 0:11:06.000
<v Speaker 1>With those two guys, they're they're where you want them

0:11:06.040 --> 0:11:09.400
<v Speaker 1>to be at all times, and they can they can

0:11:09.440 --> 0:11:11.320
<v Speaker 1>they can make their own moves off the line. They

0:11:11.320 --> 0:11:15.280
<v Speaker 1>can get off the line and be the one on one. Uh.

0:11:15.320 --> 0:11:17.800
<v Speaker 1>To me, that's uh, that's what you need. You need

0:11:17.880 --> 0:11:20.600
<v Speaker 1>someone that you can count on when that guy's pressed

0:11:20.679 --> 0:11:24.040
<v Speaker 1>in press position. You know, I need you to get inside,

0:11:24.080 --> 0:11:25.560
<v Speaker 1>I need you to run that route. I need to

0:11:25.559 --> 0:11:28.000
<v Speaker 1>be where I want you to be when I let

0:11:28.000 --> 0:11:31.959
<v Speaker 1>it go those two guys. To me, they have they

0:11:32.000 --> 0:11:35.679
<v Speaker 1>have made their reputations on being those type of receivers,

0:11:36.760 --> 0:11:39.560
<v Speaker 1>you know. And here's the other thing we got to consider,

0:11:39.880 --> 0:11:42.640
<v Speaker 1>because you remember when he was flirting with the Cowboys

0:11:42.800 --> 0:11:47.400
<v Speaker 1>back last year, he mentioned, I want to go somewhere

0:11:47.920 --> 0:11:51.120
<v Speaker 1>where I can stay. I want to go somewhere where

0:11:51.160 --> 0:11:53.880
<v Speaker 1>I can stay for four years. I'm tired of living

0:11:53.880 --> 0:11:57.840
<v Speaker 1>out of a suitcase, going from town to town to town. Well,

0:11:57.840 --> 0:12:01.719
<v Speaker 1>he only got a one year deal, so it's not

0:12:01.840 --> 0:12:05.680
<v Speaker 1>like Baltimore was all in on this, right and maybe

0:12:05.760 --> 0:12:08.880
<v Speaker 1>neither were the Jets, because it sounds like, now if

0:12:08.960 --> 0:12:11.280
<v Speaker 1>he's just trying to take a shot at the money

0:12:11.520 --> 0:12:15.200
<v Speaker 1>for one year and try to re establish himself, which

0:12:15.240 --> 0:12:17.720
<v Speaker 1>I think he should have done from the first place,

0:12:18.120 --> 0:12:20.760
<v Speaker 1>but he wanted a long term deal and he didn't

0:12:20.800 --> 0:12:24.520
<v Speaker 1>get it. So that kind of raises a little bit

0:12:24.559 --> 0:12:30.360
<v Speaker 1>of a red flag, right you know. Maybe, and I'm

0:12:30.400 --> 0:12:36.520
<v Speaker 1>just fishing here, maybe his successful workout really made him

0:12:36.960 --> 0:12:40.440
<v Speaker 1>approach this in a totally different way. Maybe he's feeling

0:12:40.480 --> 0:12:43.280
<v Speaker 1>so good right now that he feels more comfortable with

0:12:43.320 --> 0:12:46.600
<v Speaker 1>a one year deal. You know, it feels that good

0:12:46.600 --> 0:12:48.680
<v Speaker 1>to me too. I don't have to hide behind the

0:12:48.760 --> 0:12:51.200
<v Speaker 1>multi year deal. I can prove it to you now

0:12:51.400 --> 0:12:53.960
<v Speaker 1>with one year deal. I don't know, that's that's a stretch,

0:12:54.000 --> 0:12:57.480
<v Speaker 1>I know, but obviously he felt really good about that. Fifteen.

0:12:58.040 --> 0:13:02.439
<v Speaker 1>He jumped on that pretty fast, considering, you know, since

0:13:02.520 --> 0:13:04.960
<v Speaker 1>the Rodgers deal is in the bag, he could he

0:13:04.960 --> 0:13:08.839
<v Speaker 1>could have actually considered the Jets. So how many years

0:13:08.840 --> 0:13:14.440
<v Speaker 1>has he removed from a really good season? Well, let

0:13:14.440 --> 0:13:16.760
<v Speaker 1>me look him up there. I would say something postseason

0:13:17.040 --> 0:13:20.640
<v Speaker 1>because he only played what four or five six games

0:13:20.679 --> 0:13:23.040
<v Speaker 1>with the Rams, but they were good, they were quality

0:13:23.160 --> 0:13:29.280
<v Speaker 1>games a right until the playoffs. Odell Odell in twenty

0:13:29.400 --> 0:13:33.959
<v Speaker 1>twenty one, combined Cleveland and the Rams played fourteen games,

0:13:34.080 --> 0:13:37.319
<v Speaker 1>thirteen starts. He had forty four receptions for five hundred

0:13:37.320 --> 0:13:40.599
<v Speaker 1>and thirty seven yards and five touchdowns that season in

0:13:40.679 --> 0:13:43.959
<v Speaker 1>the regular season. In the playoffs for the Rams, he

0:13:44.080 --> 0:13:45.880
<v Speaker 1>had four more games, so they get you up to

0:13:45.960 --> 0:13:49.359
<v Speaker 1>seventeen games that season and had twenty one more receptions,

0:13:49.440 --> 0:13:51.520
<v Speaker 1>so they get you up to what sixty five receptions

0:13:51.520 --> 0:13:55.319
<v Speaker 1>a couple of more touchdowns, So not bad. The playoffs

0:13:55.400 --> 0:13:59.120
<v Speaker 1>were good, right, He was just a regular season He

0:13:59.240 --> 0:14:01.800
<v Speaker 1>was solid. He regular sea Yeah, but not for twenty

0:14:01.880 --> 0:14:05.079
<v Speaker 1>million dollars. And in the regular season with the Rams,

0:14:05.840 --> 0:14:09.720
<v Speaker 1>the last half of that regular season eight games, seven starts,

0:14:10.160 --> 0:14:14.319
<v Speaker 1>he had twenty seven receptions and five touchdowns for the Rams,

0:14:14.400 --> 0:14:16.600
<v Speaker 1>and so then a couple that with what he did

0:14:16.679 --> 0:14:19.880
<v Speaker 1>in the playoffs, that would be twelve games, forty eight

0:14:20.000 --> 0:14:25.520
<v Speaker 1>receptions and seven touchdowns in twelve games. So that's, yeah,

0:14:26.400 --> 0:14:30.320
<v Speaker 1>not bad year. Prior to that, in twenty twenty seven

0:14:30.440 --> 0:14:34.560
<v Speaker 1>games with Cleveland, twenty three receptions, so that was a

0:14:34.640 --> 0:14:37.840
<v Speaker 1>down year, and of course had the injury. The previous

0:14:37.960 --> 0:14:42.720
<v Speaker 1>year with Cleveland in twenty nineteen, it was seventy four receptions,

0:14:42.760 --> 0:14:46.120
<v Speaker 1>a thousand yards and four touchdowns. And then prior to that,

0:14:46.240 --> 0:14:48.040
<v Speaker 1>that was his first year with Cleveland, and prior to

0:14:48.200 --> 0:14:51.760
<v Speaker 1>that was with the Giants from twenty fourteen to twenty eighteen,

0:14:52.360 --> 0:14:55.840
<v Speaker 1>three straight Pro Bowl seasons to start his career fourteen, fifteen,

0:14:55.880 --> 0:14:59.680
<v Speaker 1>and sixteen. So the last really good full season was

0:14:59.720 --> 0:15:02.760
<v Speaker 1>twenty the eighteen. I mean, if it was with one team,

0:15:04.760 --> 0:15:07.000
<v Speaker 1>I don't know about it. I mean, I think I

0:15:07.080 --> 0:15:11.880
<v Speaker 1>think it's twenty one season pretty good myself, but but

0:15:13.000 --> 0:15:18.440
<v Speaker 1>not twenty nineteen or twenty nineteen with Cleveland. He had

0:15:18.520 --> 0:15:21.960
<v Speaker 1>seventy four catches for a thousand yards. So well I

0:15:22.120 --> 0:15:26.320
<v Speaker 1>get that from Michael Gallant before he got hurt and

0:15:26.520 --> 0:15:29.680
<v Speaker 1>he got a contractor, So there you go. Yeah, and

0:15:29.840 --> 0:15:35.000
<v Speaker 1>it wasn't twenty million a year anyway. We don't have

0:15:35.080 --> 0:15:38.080
<v Speaker 1>to talk about OBJ anymore, No, I don't, all right,

0:15:38.160 --> 0:15:41.040
<v Speaker 1>but we got plenty more to talk about the Cowboys.

0:15:41.120 --> 0:15:45.160
<v Speaker 1>They are starting their draft meetings. They are convening as

0:15:45.240 --> 0:15:48.000

<v Speaker 1>be there at number twenty six, I would run there

0:19:58.760 --> 0:20:03.240
<v Speaker 1>for him. Are about number five from Texas? That would

0:20:03.280 --> 0:20:06.960
<v Speaker 1>be the running back be Jean Robinson? How fast would

0:20:07.000 --> 0:20:09.920
<v Speaker 1>you run to the podium to make that call? I

0:20:10.160 --> 0:20:13.399
<v Speaker 1>trade up to twenty one? You would? You're pulling him

0:20:13.440 --> 0:20:15.920
<v Speaker 1>at Smith? Did you hear about the guy when him

0:20:16.040 --> 0:20:18.920
<v Speaker 1>when he would when he was first born? He I

0:20:19.080 --> 0:20:21.800
<v Speaker 1>think that he's heart wasn't beating. Did you know this

0:20:21.920 --> 0:20:26.120
<v Speaker 1>story about about be Jean his mom was. I believe

0:20:26.200 --> 0:20:28.160
<v Speaker 1>his mom was telling the story when he was first born.

0:20:28.520 --> 0:20:31.399
<v Speaker 1>It was a real tear jerker. Were firstborn. You know,

0:20:31.520 --> 0:20:34.560
<v Speaker 1>he wasn't his heart wasn't beating, and somehow he put

0:20:34.840 --> 0:20:37.600
<v Speaker 1>three fingers on him and hearts did bone. He's just

0:20:37.720 --> 0:20:40.359
<v Speaker 1>heart started beating. The next thing, you know, he's just

0:20:40.480 --> 0:20:43.360
<v Speaker 1>stud They were looking at right now crazy stuff. Man,

0:20:43.440 --> 0:20:46.440
<v Speaker 1>Well and sure beat well at ut That's all I know.

0:20:48.760 --> 0:20:52.200
<v Speaker 1>And it would uh, it would beat well if he

0:20:52.400 --> 0:20:54.200
<v Speaker 1>was at the Star in Frisco. I don't. I just

0:20:54.320 --> 0:20:56.240
<v Speaker 1>don't think there's any way that he's still gonna be

0:20:56.280 --> 0:21:00.080
<v Speaker 1>there at number twenty six. I think you got of

0:21:00.200 --> 0:21:03.640
<v Speaker 1>hope that people keep continue to think, Wow, we shouldn't

0:21:03.680 --> 0:21:07.320
<v Speaker 1>take a running back in the first round. What's bags?

0:21:07.359 --> 0:21:09.600
<v Speaker 1>I must tell you. You know Bill's over here trying

0:21:09.640 --> 0:21:12.520
<v Speaker 1>to be cute. You know, he comes in teasing me

0:21:12.640 --> 0:21:16.280
<v Speaker 1>with I know I've got a draft. I just gotta

0:21:16.440 --> 0:21:19.680
<v Speaker 1>will it down. But it must know I got. I'm

0:21:19.720 --> 0:21:22.520
<v Speaker 1>thinking he's talking about bees because he's been all over him. Right,

0:21:23.040 --> 0:21:25.239
<v Speaker 1>He's like, no, no, not him. He won't be there.

0:21:25.320 --> 0:21:28.119
<v Speaker 1>Someone more real listed. I say, okay, well, let me

0:21:28.200 --> 0:21:31.080
<v Speaker 1>spit it out there. I said, I'm not I'm not ready.

0:21:31.960 --> 0:21:35.520
<v Speaker 1>I'm not ready, thank you. I'm not ready to reveal

0:21:35.840 --> 0:21:39.680
<v Speaker 1>my number one guy in my big green NFL Draft

0:21:39.760 --> 0:21:42.760
<v Speaker 1>scotting notebook for the Cowboys just yet. But I think

0:21:42.920 --> 0:21:46.960
<v Speaker 1>maybe next Monday I might reveal it. Well, I thought

0:21:47.000 --> 0:21:51.399
<v Speaker 1>you were talking about maybe a different running back. I

0:21:51.560 --> 0:21:53.920
<v Speaker 1>do like another running back. There are a couple of

0:21:54.000 --> 0:21:56.600
<v Speaker 1>running backs that I like. And the other running back

0:21:56.680 --> 0:21:59.639
<v Speaker 1>there would be a you would have to take in

0:21:59.720 --> 0:22:01.320
<v Speaker 1>the first stroud because he wouldn't be there in the

0:22:01.400 --> 0:22:05.119
<v Speaker 1>second round, would be Jamir Gibbs from Alabama. That guy's

0:22:05.200 --> 0:22:10.720
<v Speaker 1>got some serious juice. But he's smaller than uh than

0:22:10.800 --> 0:22:17.760
<v Speaker 1>be Jean, he's two hundred pounds. What about Charbonneau? He's

0:22:17.840 --> 0:22:21.800
<v Speaker 1>not telling, he's not talking. So you've done some research

0:22:21.960 --> 0:22:27.160
<v Speaker 1>on Zach Charbonnet from UCLA and I have watched in person?

0:22:27.560 --> 0:22:32.040
<v Speaker 1>Uh von a Chain also? Yeah, but Texas a and Okay,

0:22:32.080 --> 0:22:37.600
<v Speaker 1>so you tell me who do you like? Well? A Chain?

0:22:38.200 --> 0:22:44.520
<v Speaker 1>He's five eight ran a four three two with a

0:22:44.680 --> 0:22:50.040
<v Speaker 1>four one forty nine split, which is getting it, and

0:22:50.160 --> 0:22:54.400
<v Speaker 1>he plays past two. You worry about his size, but boy,

0:22:54.960 --> 0:22:58.000
<v Speaker 1>I think the game I saw against LSU, he must

0:22:58.040 --> 0:23:00.720
<v Speaker 1>have carried the ball thirty times. I'm just saying that

0:23:00.800 --> 0:23:03.760
<v Speaker 1>off time. Is he is he a tywreek hill a short?

0:23:03.960 --> 0:23:07.000
<v Speaker 1>Or is he you know, more of a turpin short?

0:23:07.200 --> 0:23:09.560
<v Speaker 1>You know one was a little bit more slight than

0:23:09.640 --> 0:23:12.239
<v Speaker 1>the other. He's five five eight and a half one

0:23:12.280 --> 0:23:15.600
<v Speaker 1>hundred eighty eight pounds one eighty a is what he measured.

0:23:16.560 --> 0:23:19.080
<v Speaker 1>And you know he's not big, But can you catch him?

0:23:20.000 --> 0:23:22.760
<v Speaker 1>Just to give you an idea of the speed. Okay,

0:23:23.080 --> 0:23:25.800
<v Speaker 1>he ran the four three two and on the track

0:23:25.880 --> 0:23:28.680
<v Speaker 1>team at Texas A and M. And he ranks number

0:23:28.800 --> 0:23:31.080
<v Speaker 1>three all time at Texas A and M with a

0:23:31.240 --> 0:23:35.359
<v Speaker 1>six sixty three sixty, number four all time with a

0:23:35.560 --> 0:23:39.040
<v Speaker 1>twenty point two two hundred and number nine all time

0:23:39.119 --> 0:23:42.600
<v Speaker 1>with a ten point one four one hundred meters. That's

0:23:42.640 --> 0:23:45.080
<v Speaker 1>how fast this guy is. Now, Now what I what

0:23:45.240 --> 0:23:47.600
<v Speaker 1>I know? What I know about fast guys? Now? Is

0:23:47.600 --> 0:23:50.600
<v Speaker 1>he fast guy? Is he is he Alexander Wright? Or

0:23:50.800 --> 0:23:55.400
<v Speaker 1>is he is he? Is he? Bob Hayes him saying,

0:23:56.440 --> 0:23:58.240
<v Speaker 1>is he is he a guy who can play football?

0:23:58.440 --> 0:24:01.800
<v Speaker 1>Mickey's point be real fat? Or is he just real fasting?

0:24:01.960 --> 0:24:05.760
<v Speaker 1>Right to the point about him playing football? Here is

0:24:05.880 --> 0:24:08.720
<v Speaker 1>stats in ten games with Texas A and M this year,

0:24:09.520 --> 0:24:13.240
<v Speaker 1>one hundred and ninety six carries for one thousand, one

0:24:13.359 --> 0:24:16.040
<v Speaker 1>hundred two yards five point six yards to carry and

0:24:16.119 --> 0:24:18.320
<v Speaker 1>eight touchdowns. And he also caught the ball thirty six

0:24:18.400 --> 0:24:20.840
<v Speaker 1>times for one hundred ninety six yards and three more scores.

0:24:21.280 --> 0:24:25.359
<v Speaker 1>So my math is right, ten games, eleven hundred yards.

0:24:25.440 --> 0:24:27.600
<v Speaker 1>That's like one hundred and ten yards a game rushing

0:24:27.680 --> 0:24:31.159
<v Speaker 1>the football. That's more than Renaldo mem I ever did

0:24:31.200 --> 0:24:38.120
<v Speaker 1>in the football. He carried the load for him, too interesting,

0:24:39.000 --> 0:24:41.760
<v Speaker 1>So I mean, that's that's what I need. If I

0:24:41.840 --> 0:24:43.680
<v Speaker 1>get a running back, he's got to be able to

0:24:43.760 --> 0:24:48.119
<v Speaker 1>carry the load and let Tony Pollard do what Tony

0:24:48.200 --> 0:24:52.240
<v Speaker 1>Pollard does. Okay, so we've seen the last four years

0:24:52.760 --> 0:24:56.679
<v Speaker 1>Pollard teamed with Zeke Elliott, and Zeke is that between

0:24:56.760 --> 0:25:01.520
<v Speaker 1>the tackle running back? Okay, and polar is the outside

0:25:01.560 --> 0:25:04.560
<v Speaker 1>guy who can take it to the house. What needs

0:25:04.640 --> 0:25:08.080
<v Speaker 1>to be paired with Tony Pollard? Right now or as

0:25:08.160 --> 0:25:12.600
<v Speaker 1>we approached the draft? Are we as concerned with pairing

0:25:12.840 --> 0:25:15.359
<v Speaker 1>whoever it is with Tony Pollard or just get the

0:25:15.400 --> 0:25:19.000
<v Speaker 1>best running back because running backs don't last very long

0:25:19.080 --> 0:25:21.960
<v Speaker 1>in this league. Tony Pollard's coming off an injury and

0:25:22.920 --> 0:25:25.080
<v Speaker 1>he's going into his fifth year in the league right now.

0:25:25.160 --> 0:25:27.080
<v Speaker 1>So how much longer is Tony Pollard going to play

0:25:27.080 --> 0:25:30.399
<v Speaker 1>in this league? See and Bill, That's one of the

0:25:30.520 --> 0:25:34.000
<v Speaker 1>things that has to factor into all this. While they

0:25:34.160 --> 0:25:38.119
<v Speaker 1>franchised him, there's a reason they franchised him and didn't

0:25:38.119 --> 0:25:42.120
<v Speaker 1>give him a long term deal. Right, everybody's just assuming

0:25:42.240 --> 0:25:46.080
<v Speaker 1>Tony Pollard comes back as Tony Polard. I keep sayings facts,

0:25:46.200 --> 0:25:52.119
<v Speaker 1>I keep saying those exact words. We gotta see and

0:25:52.320 --> 0:25:56.080
<v Speaker 1>we're just assuming. So that's why I think that if

0:25:56.119 --> 0:25:58.440
<v Speaker 1>you want to call it the second running back, he

0:25:58.640 --> 0:26:01.400
<v Speaker 1>better be ready to carry the load. Just in Kate.

0:26:01.480 --> 0:26:05.080
<v Speaker 1>I mean, even if Pollard is back to being Pollard,

0:26:05.320 --> 0:26:07.800
<v Speaker 1>they're not going to give him twenty five touches a game.

0:26:08.160 --> 0:26:10.920
<v Speaker 1>And if you're seventeen weeks, if you're taking a running

0:26:10.960 --> 0:26:13.280
<v Speaker 1>back in the first round or even the second round,

0:26:13.880 --> 0:26:16.120
<v Speaker 1>he is going to be your number one running back

0:26:16.200 --> 0:26:22.200
<v Speaker 1>in a couple of years if he's if he's not already, absolutely,

0:26:22.840 --> 0:26:25.880
<v Speaker 1>And that's why I continue to say, and I said

0:26:25.920 --> 0:26:30.200
<v Speaker 1>it before, they said it after the draft. If Ezekiel

0:26:30.200 --> 0:26:33.680
<v Speaker 1>Ellie it's still sitting around and knowing, you know, giving

0:26:33.760 --> 0:26:37.639
<v Speaker 1>him what he's looking for, bring him back. And I've

0:26:39.400 --> 0:26:41.440
<v Speaker 1>really been kind of open. And if you do it

0:26:41.560 --> 0:26:45.320
<v Speaker 1>that way, you're not insulting him. Like if you had said, Okay,

0:26:45.520 --> 0:26:47.399
<v Speaker 1>ten point die, I'm going to give you two and

0:26:47.400 --> 0:26:50.639
<v Speaker 1>a half million, that would have been insulting. But if

0:26:50.720 --> 0:26:54.200
<v Speaker 1>you're without a job and it's may, you know, three

0:26:54.280 --> 0:26:56.840
<v Speaker 1>million might sound really good to him. Let me ask

0:26:56.880 --> 0:27:00.240
<v Speaker 1>you this, Mickey. Let's say Zeke is still a free

0:27:00.280 --> 0:27:06.680
<v Speaker 1>agent come draft weekend and you've had some conversations with him,

0:27:06.880 --> 0:27:10.119
<v Speaker 1>and how much does it affect what the Cowboys do

0:27:10.280 --> 0:27:12.760
<v Speaker 1>in terms of a running back in the draft if

0:27:12.840 --> 0:27:15.840
<v Speaker 1>they think that Zeke is a possibility or more of

0:27:15.920 --> 0:27:19.720
<v Speaker 1>a growing possibility to sign him after the draft. Do

0:27:19.840 --> 0:27:24.720
<v Speaker 1>you mean like, does it affect Does it affect? Yeah,

0:27:24.720 --> 0:27:27.639
<v Speaker 1>I'm thinking more beyond the first round because if if

0:27:27.680 --> 0:27:30.119
<v Speaker 1>there's a if they're considering a running back in the

0:27:30.240 --> 0:27:32.239
<v Speaker 1>first round, that running back is a guy that they

0:27:32.480 --> 0:27:35.119
<v Speaker 1>think will be their lead back at some point in

0:27:35.280 --> 0:27:38.240
<v Speaker 1>the not too distant future. But let's say we get

0:27:38.280 --> 0:27:41.320
<v Speaker 1>to the second round, the third round, and does it

0:27:41.440 --> 0:27:45.160
<v Speaker 1>affect their decision on whether to take that running back?

0:27:46.440 --> 0:27:49.680
<v Speaker 1>If with other needs that they have. If they think

0:27:49.760 --> 0:27:53.240
<v Speaker 1>that they can fill a need with Zeke right now, Yeah,

0:27:53.480 --> 0:27:56.440
<v Speaker 1>I think it does. And I think it does not

0:27:56.680 --> 0:28:01.360
<v Speaker 1>just with Zeke, but whatever running act they pick, if

0:28:01.440 --> 0:28:04.480
<v Speaker 1>it's not early in the draft, he's got to be

0:28:05.520 --> 0:28:08.399
<v Speaker 1>he They gotta think he's better than Malite Davis or

0:28:08.520 --> 0:28:15.399
<v Speaker 1>ric O'Donnell, Jon Ronald Jones. Yeah, absolutely, those three guys.

0:28:15.720 --> 0:28:19.920
<v Speaker 1>I like that. I like that pick. Ronald Jones, like

0:28:20.000 --> 0:28:22.880
<v Speaker 1>that signing. I really you know what happened to this guy?

0:28:22.920 --> 0:28:25.560
<v Speaker 1>I think he started having fumba this or something when

0:28:25.640 --> 0:28:28.080
<v Speaker 1>he was in Tampa. He fumbled against the Cowboys one

0:28:28.160 --> 0:28:31.879
<v Speaker 1>game season opener. Yeah, he had. I was sitting right behind,

0:28:32.600 --> 0:28:35.320
<v Speaker 1>right behind his family before the game. They're all excited.

0:28:35.760 --> 0:28:39.880
<v Speaker 1>But he was a really, really good running back. He

0:28:40.480 --> 0:28:42.920
<v Speaker 1>Ronald Jones, who of course signed last month with the

0:28:42.960 --> 0:28:45.440
<v Speaker 1>Cowboys out of McKinney North High School. Last year he

0:28:45.520 --> 0:28:49.240
<v Speaker 1>was with Kansas City and with the Chiefs only appeared

0:28:49.280 --> 0:28:52.480
<v Speaker 1>in six games last year seventeen carries for seventy yards

0:28:52.520 --> 0:28:56.320
<v Speaker 1>in a touchdown. Prior to that with Tampa Bay, uh

0:28:56.560 --> 0:28:59.440
<v Speaker 1>second round draft pick out of USC in twenty eighteen,

0:29:00.160 --> 0:29:03.520
<v Speaker 1>Key Year didn't do much that year, just appeared in

0:29:03.680 --> 0:29:07.920
<v Speaker 1>nine games backup. He started nine games in twenty nineteen.

0:29:08.040 --> 0:29:11.280
<v Speaker 1>He started thirteen games in twenty twenty, and then in

0:29:11.360 --> 0:29:15.080
<v Speaker 1>twenty one after being the that was the year the

0:29:15.120 --> 0:29:18.600
<v Speaker 1>Cowboys opened the season at Tampa Bay and after being

0:29:18.800 --> 0:29:21.920
<v Speaker 1>there basically a primary back at the beginning of the season,

0:29:22.280 --> 0:29:24.360
<v Speaker 1>he played in sixteen games, but only three starts, with

0:29:24.440 --> 0:29:27.440
<v Speaker 1>four hundred twenty eight yards rushing, four touchdowns and four

0:29:27.520 --> 0:29:31.080
<v Speaker 1>Nette became their gay. That's yeah, that's it, right before

0:29:31.160 --> 0:29:32.840
<v Speaker 1>four net. That's why they went to guys four in

0:29:32.880 --> 0:29:35.680
<v Speaker 1>net right, because they became disappointed in him. But I

0:29:35.840 --> 0:29:38.520
<v Speaker 1>really saw some promise in him early on when he

0:29:38.600 --> 0:29:41.400
<v Speaker 1>was the primary back. You know. But here again is

0:29:41.400 --> 0:29:43.400
<v Speaker 1>another guy going into his sixth year in the league.

0:29:44.240 --> 0:29:49.520
<v Speaker 1>How old is he he is? I don't have a

0:29:49.560 --> 0:29:51.080
<v Speaker 1>written down here. I have to look it up. But

0:29:53.800 --> 0:29:56.080
<v Speaker 1>come on, he's still in the He's still in the game.

0:29:56.640 --> 0:30:02.240
<v Speaker 1>So Zeke, Now he's say major, Yeah, he's been he's

0:30:02.280 --> 0:30:07.280
<v Speaker 1>been taking some hits, resting and he's a but he's

0:30:07.360 --> 0:30:10.280
<v Speaker 1>kind of a placeholder. Right, It's almost like, okay, we

0:30:10.440 --> 0:30:14.160
<v Speaker 1>got this just in case, right. Well. Ronald Jones, a

0:30:14.320 --> 0:30:18.240
<v Speaker 1>veteran Ronald Jones will turn twenty six in August. Come on, man,

0:30:18.720 --> 0:30:21.640
<v Speaker 1>you guys young. Yep, that's young. So he was just

0:30:21.760 --> 0:30:25.440
<v Speaker 1>at USC for three years. I hope, I'm I'm I'm

0:30:25.880 --> 0:30:28.400
<v Speaker 1>right about this. But I really did think that guy

0:30:28.480 --> 0:30:30.480
<v Speaker 1>was a good back when he was with Tampa. I

0:30:30.560 --> 0:30:33.120
<v Speaker 1>saw some promise in him. He made some good He's

0:30:33.160 --> 0:30:36.600
<v Speaker 1>got some good speed as well. So that size ghost

0:30:36.760 --> 0:30:39.480
<v Speaker 1>goes to Kansas City and they their seventh round draft

0:30:39.520 --> 0:30:44.160
<v Speaker 1>pick out a Rutgers Pacheco. Uh, the kind of stole them. Hey,

0:30:44.200 --> 0:30:47.280
<v Speaker 1>we'll stole the show there, that's right? What was me?

0:30:48.560 --> 0:30:51.560
<v Speaker 1>All right? We're gonna continue with more mixed shots in

0:30:51.680 --> 0:30:55.640
<v Speaker 1>just a moment. We paid how much for those lessons?

0:30:56.440 --> 0:30:59.760
<v Speaker 1>She's doing great? Oh yeah, totally. Can you pass me

0:30:59.800 --> 0:31:07.840
<v Speaker 1>a pepsi zero sugar? Great job, honey, Oh look at that.

0:31:07.960 --> 0:31:11.080
<v Speaker 1>That's not the end, no way. Now it's time for

0:31:11.120 --> 0:31:14.200
<v Speaker 1>the encore. You know what, You're right? Five times not

0:31:14.400 --> 0:31:17.000
<v Speaker 1>enough times for everyone who traded in rock concerts for

0:31:17.040 --> 0:31:21.360
<v Speaker 1>their kids recitals. You've compromised enough. Pepsi zero sugar, that's

0:31:21.440 --> 0:31:25.280
<v Speaker 1>what I like. Nobody protects you from mayhem like all state.

0:31:26.240 --> 0:31:30.479

0:31:30.520 --> 0:31:33.640
<v Speaker 1>that even mean? It means you can't see out of

0:31:33.640 --> 0:31:37.520
<v Speaker 1>your windshield, and if you have the wrong car insurance,

0:31:37.800 --> 0:31:40.240
<v Speaker 1>you might have to make it rain to fix your bumper.

0:31:40.640 --> 0:31:43.200
<v Speaker 1>So switch to all State, save money and be better

0:33:21.440 --> 0:33:25.760
<v Speaker 1>gone at st geek dot com. Man, that's pretty cool.

0:33:26.360 --> 0:33:28.920
<v Speaker 1>Part I like it, Mickey, I like you when Everson

0:33:29.040 --> 0:33:31.600
<v Speaker 1>makes the read because he hasn't read it before and

0:33:31.720 --> 0:33:36.160
<v Speaker 1>so you're getting his immediate reaction when he mentions the

0:33:36.720 --> 0:33:40.720
<v Speaker 1>superstar names like Dolly Parton and Garth Brooks Parton. Yeah,

0:33:40.840 --> 0:33:43.720
<v Speaker 1>pretty cool. Yeah, but you know what these reads are

0:33:43.760 --> 0:33:46.160
<v Speaker 1>supposed to be done in like ten or fifteen second.

0:33:47.240 --> 0:33:51.680
<v Speaker 1>He's got his own style, right, I have more inflection

0:33:51.720 --> 0:33:56.960
<v Speaker 1>than you do. Say that's sometimes sometimes the slower read

0:33:57.040 --> 0:33:59.920
<v Speaker 1>could be more effect. I think about Summer all Immer,

0:34:00.040 --> 0:34:07.920
<v Speaker 1>all murder, Everson, she wrote Walls or yeah, but he wasn't.

0:34:08.120 --> 0:34:10.400
<v Speaker 1>He wasn't getting paid to get him done in a

0:34:10.520 --> 0:34:13.719
<v Speaker 1>certain amount of time. I have stage, I have stage present, sir,

0:34:13.920 --> 0:34:18.879
<v Speaker 1>Thank you very much. Exactly right, all right, Everson? How

0:34:18.960 --> 0:34:22.480
<v Speaker 1>long was it for you were in the league. How

0:34:22.680 --> 0:34:24.719
<v Speaker 1>many years were you in the league before the announcers

0:34:24.719 --> 0:34:26.920
<v Speaker 1>finally figured out that your name was Everson and not

0:34:27.080 --> 0:34:31.319
<v Speaker 1>Emerson Walls. It didn't it didn't take long. But Tom

0:34:31.480 --> 0:34:34.120
<v Speaker 1>never got it, you know, I mean, he was just

0:34:34.280 --> 0:34:37.000
<v Speaker 1>that stubborn he was. I don't know why he wouldn't

0:34:37.000 --> 0:34:39.760
<v Speaker 1>say it correctly. That's because there are people were thinking

0:34:39.800 --> 0:34:43.000
<v Speaker 1>of Emerson Boozer, I think, And that could be it.

0:34:43.239 --> 0:34:45.560
<v Speaker 1>You know, you might have been the first Everson to

0:34:45.600 --> 0:34:48.319
<v Speaker 1>come along. Oh, there's no doubt that one, for sure,

0:34:48.360 --> 0:34:52.600
<v Speaker 1>the first Everson to come along after Emerson Boozer. Definitely. Yeah,

0:34:52.920 --> 0:34:55.520
<v Speaker 1>And that was what the first Walls. But then there's

0:34:55.960 --> 0:34:59.160
<v Speaker 1>the second Walls. Was it west Wesley Walls? What's the

0:34:59.280 --> 0:35:03.560
<v Speaker 1>tight end's name? Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's right. So no.

0:35:03.760 --> 0:35:06.120
<v Speaker 1>Unique is all around the boy. Baby, there's no one

0:35:06.200 --> 0:35:08.239
<v Speaker 1>like me. Bill, I thought you knew that. You know.

0:35:08.880 --> 0:35:12.760
<v Speaker 1>In fact, I just did a little search. This is amazing,

0:35:12.880 --> 0:35:17.680
<v Speaker 1>Mickey Spagnola. I just did a search of Everson on

0:35:17.880 --> 0:35:20.560
<v Speaker 1>Pro Football Reference to come up with all of the

0:35:20.800 --> 0:35:25.799
<v Speaker 1>Eversons who have played in the professional football and I've

0:35:25.840 --> 0:35:30.280
<v Speaker 1>got two. There's only two. Yeah, I just put in Everson.

0:35:30.360 --> 0:35:34.120
<v Speaker 1>I did a search Everson, and only two came up,

0:35:34.400 --> 0:35:36.520
<v Speaker 1>and both of them played for the Cowboys. Right. He

0:35:36.600 --> 0:35:40.200
<v Speaker 1>was named after me, of course, Everson Griffin. That's how

0:35:40.239 --> 0:35:45.120
<v Speaker 1>about that? How many joes have played in the end? Okay,

0:35:45.200 --> 0:35:50.000
<v Speaker 1>let me I'll do that. I'll do that. How about Mickey,

0:35:50.120 --> 0:35:57.680
<v Speaker 1>Let's do Mick. I'm gonna do Mickey. In Philadelphia, I

0:35:57.800 --> 0:36:00.800
<v Speaker 1>believe it was John Spagnola. Can you name the former

0:36:00.920 --> 0:36:07.120
<v Speaker 1>cowboy who had the name Mickey? A cowboy who had

0:36:07.200 --> 0:36:11.360
<v Speaker 1>the name Mickey. There is no way you will get it.

0:36:11.440 --> 0:36:17.400
<v Speaker 1>And in fact, he played at the University of Oklahoma. Wow,

0:36:18.719 --> 0:36:23.080
<v Speaker 1>thirty years ago. Thirty years ago, there was a cowboy

0:36:23.320 --> 0:36:30.360
<v Speaker 1>named Mickey. Oh, Mickey Pruitt. No, No, that's not the

0:36:30.440 --> 0:36:33.120
<v Speaker 1>one I'm thinking of. This is a last name Mickey,

0:36:33.760 --> 0:36:38.920
<v Speaker 1>Joey Mickey a tied end in nineteen I didn't now

0:36:39.000 --> 0:36:43.719
<v Speaker 1>you got us on that. Look up. There's quite a

0:36:43.800 --> 0:36:47.280
<v Speaker 1>few Mickeys that have played at the National Football League. Mickey,

0:36:47.320 --> 0:36:51.120
<v Speaker 1>you wanted to make a point about Ronald Jones. Yeah,

0:36:51.239 --> 0:36:53.400
<v Speaker 1>I was gonna say when we talked about, you know

0:36:53.640 --> 0:36:56.480
<v Speaker 1>what he is or what they think he is, I

0:36:56.640 --> 0:36:59.360
<v Speaker 1>just said, always when you see those things, follow the

0:36:59.480 --> 0:37:03.320
<v Speaker 1>money and the money says it's a one year veteran exception.

0:37:03.480 --> 0:37:07.160
<v Speaker 1>So they didn't like spend so much money that you know,

0:37:07.280 --> 0:37:09.960
<v Speaker 1>he's not even guaranteed to make the team, and so

0:37:10.120 --> 0:37:12.480
<v Speaker 1>he but he hadn't been injured a lot either, has

0:37:12.520 --> 0:37:16.399
<v Speaker 1>he been spags? No, No, he's gonna turn. What to say,

0:37:16.440 --> 0:37:18.960
<v Speaker 1>he's gonna turn twenty six? Right right? Mom? Man, this

0:37:19.120 --> 0:37:23.279
<v Speaker 1>guy here to me. If i'm him, this is my opportunity.

0:37:23.680 --> 0:37:26.759
<v Speaker 1>Is he your pick to click for this season? There

0:37:26.800 --> 0:37:30.680
<v Speaker 1>you go, we're saying the bags. We're saying there writing

0:37:30.760 --> 0:37:33.960
<v Speaker 1>as bags. That's my pick to click right there. Write

0:37:34.000 --> 0:37:36.719
<v Speaker 1>that down, that's right, okay, yeah, write it down and

0:37:36.880 --> 0:37:41.799
<v Speaker 1>save and save the tape. I've got one Spagnola, by

0:37:41.840 --> 0:37:44.200
<v Speaker 1>the way, who played in the National Football League and

0:37:45.200 --> 0:37:50.319
<v Speaker 1>John John Spagnola. Yep, from that funny story. So back

0:37:50.440 --> 0:37:52.640
<v Speaker 1>to all that shows up on Pro Football Reference where

0:37:52.640 --> 0:37:56.120
<v Speaker 1>you do a search anyway, Yes, go ahead, and back

0:37:56.160 --> 0:37:59.600
<v Speaker 1>in the mid eighties, he was playing tight end for

0:37:59.719 --> 0:38:03.360
<v Speaker 1>phil Pladelphia. Yes, And I was covering the game and

0:38:03.480 --> 0:38:07.960
<v Speaker 1>had to do a sidebar and he had a great

0:38:08.480 --> 0:38:12.120
<v Speaker 1>first half, and just so happened. The sports entator was

0:38:12.200 --> 0:38:16.040
<v Speaker 1>at the game in Philadelphia and he came to turn

0:38:16.160 --> 0:38:19.360
<v Speaker 1>to me and he said, Okay, if this guy's the story,

0:38:19.840 --> 0:38:22.800
<v Speaker 1>we're going to have Spagnola and the headline and the

0:38:22.920 --> 0:38:26.560
<v Speaker 1>bye line. And then the second half changed, and I

0:38:26.640 --> 0:38:30.480
<v Speaker 1>think something happened that Cowboys came back and and the

0:38:30.719 --> 0:38:33.360
<v Speaker 1>story just disappeared. I was like, oh, it was my

0:38:33.520 --> 0:38:36.239
<v Speaker 1>one chance to have my headline. So you were putting

0:38:36.280 --> 0:38:41.160
<v Speaker 1>them against the Cowboys, then yes, absolutely, just so you

0:38:41.200 --> 0:38:44.960
<v Speaker 1>could shine, just so I could get above the byeline

0:38:45.120 --> 0:38:50.879
<v Speaker 1>and at the bye line. All right, mickey, what other

0:38:51.000 --> 0:38:53.759
<v Speaker 1>things are you looking at? Is with the draft approaching

0:38:53.840 --> 0:38:56.400
<v Speaker 1>here in two and a half weeks for this team. Well,

0:38:56.440 --> 0:39:00.120
<v Speaker 1>here's here's one thing that I keep seeing and and

0:39:00.280 --> 0:39:04.160
<v Speaker 1>I'm not doing this to start trouble, but everybody keeps

0:39:04.200 --> 0:39:10.800
<v Speaker 1>talking about the Cowboys need an interior line league, but

0:39:11.000 --> 0:39:14.200
<v Speaker 1>not in the first round. And when I look at

0:39:14.840 --> 0:39:17.120
<v Speaker 1>what they got, and I wrote it in my column

0:39:17.200 --> 0:39:21.520
<v Speaker 1>on Friday, They've got five guys that can start for

0:39:21.719 --> 0:39:26.080
<v Speaker 1>me if they're healthy today right now. I got to

0:39:26.160 --> 0:39:29.919
<v Speaker 1>qualify it because I got it too. I don't want

0:39:29.960 --> 0:39:33.239
<v Speaker 1>to just assume that Tared Steele is going to be

0:39:33.400 --> 0:39:37.000
<v Speaker 1>ready to go for the season opener. So you're saying

0:39:37.120 --> 0:39:40.840
<v Speaker 1>five guys who's can start for you on the offensive line,

0:39:41.200 --> 0:39:45.600
<v Speaker 1>or yes, for five interior guys who Okay, I called them,

0:39:45.680 --> 0:39:49.680
<v Speaker 1>they have They have the fab five right and now

0:39:49.920 --> 0:39:54.279
<v Speaker 1>it's contingent on two things. Number One, steals ready to

0:39:54.360 --> 0:40:00.759
<v Speaker 1>go now. He had his surgery December thirteenth, So if

0:40:00.880 --> 0:40:04.799
<v Speaker 1>he if he's good to go in seven months, then

0:40:05.480 --> 0:40:09.080
<v Speaker 1>he's my starting right tackle. Now. If he's good to

0:40:09.160 --> 0:40:13.160
<v Speaker 1>go in nine months, then all bets are off because

0:40:13.239 --> 0:40:17.439
<v Speaker 1>he's maybe not ready to start the season. My other

0:40:17.520 --> 0:40:23.960
<v Speaker 1>assumption has to be that since they extended or at

0:40:24.040 --> 0:40:29.200
<v Speaker 1>least restructured Tyron Smith, that they must feel that he

0:40:29.400 --> 0:40:34.760
<v Speaker 1>can play. So what what would be wrong? Would Steal

0:40:34.840 --> 0:40:39.440
<v Speaker 1>at right tackle, Tyrn Smith at left tackle, Tyler Smith

0:40:39.640 --> 0:40:43.000
<v Speaker 1>at guard and then beyondish In Martin, and those are

0:40:43.080 --> 0:40:48.719
<v Speaker 1>my starting five because I thought Tyler Smith for what

0:40:49.040 --> 0:40:53.359
<v Speaker 1>little work he got after training camp, after Tyron Smith

0:40:53.440 --> 0:40:55.800
<v Speaker 1>got hurt and they moved him to tackle when he

0:40:55.960 --> 0:41:01.560
<v Speaker 1>played guard, I thought he was fine, and so he's

0:41:01.640 --> 0:41:07.240
<v Speaker 1>my guard. If Tyrant Smith is still capable of playing

0:41:07.480 --> 0:41:11.120
<v Speaker 1>left tackle. Now, no one has suggested that, right. Everybody

0:41:11.239 --> 0:41:15.120
<v Speaker 1>keeps saying Steals gonna be the swing guy, or he's

0:41:15.160 --> 0:41:18.880
<v Speaker 1>gonna be, you know, maybe be the guard. He was

0:41:18.960 --> 0:41:22.719
<v Speaker 1>my best run blocker until he got hurt. And look

0:41:22.760 --> 0:41:25.480
<v Speaker 1>what happened to the running game after he left in

0:41:25.560 --> 0:41:31.520
<v Speaker 1>those last four or five games. Yeah, they struggled. So

0:41:31.920 --> 0:41:35.960
<v Speaker 1>to me, if Tyrn Smith is capable of playing at

0:41:36.040 --> 0:41:40.839
<v Speaker 1>the level he has played back at left tackle, he's

0:41:40.920 --> 0:41:45.320
<v Speaker 1>my left tackle. Tyren Steals my right tackle, and Tyler

0:41:45.400 --> 0:41:47.960
<v Speaker 1>Smith goes to guard for at least one more year,

0:41:48.320 --> 0:41:51.880
<v Speaker 1>what would be wrong with that? I'll tell you what, though, Spags.

0:41:52.600 --> 0:41:58.160
<v Speaker 1>Whenever Steel comes back, I learned a big lesson last

0:41:58.239 --> 0:42:02.840
<v Speaker 1>year with a gallop. You know, he came back, but

0:42:03.000 --> 0:42:06.480
<v Speaker 1>he wasn't ready. You know, he really he came back,

0:42:06.560 --> 0:42:08.600
<v Speaker 1>but he wasn't ready. He wouldn't he didn't have a

0:42:08.680 --> 0:42:11.919
<v Speaker 1>good foundation under him the entire season, and it really

0:42:12.000 --> 0:42:15.439
<v Speaker 1>hurt us during the season. I'm looking at got hurt.

0:42:15.640 --> 0:42:18.960
<v Speaker 1>He got hurt in January. I don't I don't care

0:42:19.000 --> 0:42:20.719
<v Speaker 1>when he got hurt. I get it, I get it.

0:42:20.840 --> 0:42:23.279
<v Speaker 1>I'm just saying I hope that when he does come back,

0:42:23.560 --> 0:42:27.360
<v Speaker 1>he has all the confidence in the world on that

0:42:28.480 --> 0:42:32.520
<v Speaker 1>that that body part he has to because you know,

0:42:32.600 --> 0:42:35.160
<v Speaker 1>you start putting somebody out there who's got they have

0:42:35.360 --> 0:42:38.240
<v Speaker 1>a lot of guts, but they just don't have quite habit.

0:42:38.760 --> 0:42:40.759
<v Speaker 1>That was a big lesson learned last year. I don't

0:42:40.800 --> 0:42:42.759
<v Speaker 1>care when he comes back. I do get what you're saying,

0:42:43.000 --> 0:42:45.040
<v Speaker 1>he's gonna have more time, But I don't care when

0:42:45.080 --> 0:42:47.120
<v Speaker 1>he comes back. He's got to be But here's the other.

0:42:47.480 --> 0:42:49.719
<v Speaker 1>Here's the other deal. Still doesn't have to run a

0:42:49.800 --> 0:42:54.840
<v Speaker 1>twenty yard out five yards from him. Yeah, that sounds

0:42:54.880 --> 0:42:59.000
<v Speaker 1>easy that you get that guy in front of you,

0:43:01.800 --> 0:43:05.600
<v Speaker 1>but it's what my my scenario is contingent on him

0:43:05.680 --> 0:43:09.200
<v Speaker 1>being ready to play. That's that's my point. And I

0:43:09.280 --> 0:43:12.399
<v Speaker 1>don't know that you can just count on that, right.

0:43:13.320 --> 0:43:16.280
<v Speaker 1>But they keep saying he's ahead of schedule. Well, that's fine,

0:43:16.360 --> 0:43:20.080
<v Speaker 1>he's ahead of schedule. But schedule is scheduled. Uh, and

0:43:20.440 --> 0:43:22.440
<v Speaker 1>you would and I don't know that he would be

0:43:22.600 --> 0:43:27.240
<v Speaker 1>ready to start training camp, which would start what third

0:43:27.480 --> 0:43:32.520
<v Speaker 1>fourth week in July. Well that's only seven months, So

0:43:33.400 --> 0:43:37.200
<v Speaker 1>all right, my bigger concern go ahead, making No. I

0:43:37.360 --> 0:43:39.960
<v Speaker 1>was just gonna say that's that's my concern on my

0:43:40.440 --> 0:43:44.279
<v Speaker 1>scenario there that no one seems to want to, uh,

0:43:44.560 --> 0:43:46.880
<v Speaker 1>you know, point out because they well they get they

0:43:46.960 --> 0:43:49.640
<v Speaker 1>need a guard. Well, if they need a guard, they've

0:43:49.719 --> 0:43:54.000
<v Speaker 1>got a guard if everything plays out right. My bigger

0:43:54.080 --> 0:43:57.040
<v Speaker 1>concern when it comes to the offensive line is not

0:43:57.320 --> 0:44:02.080
<v Speaker 1>this season, it's next season. Who are your tackles going

0:44:02.120 --> 0:44:05.440
<v Speaker 1>to be next season? And who who's your center? And

0:44:05.560 --> 0:44:09.239
<v Speaker 1>who's your left guard next season? Why do you ask that?

0:44:09.680 --> 0:44:13.160
<v Speaker 1>Because Tyrant Smith is where he is in his career, right,

0:44:13.640 --> 0:44:17.239
<v Speaker 1>is he gonna we don't? He's right, We gotta every

0:44:17.320 --> 0:44:20.400
<v Speaker 1>year got something. Yeah, well, and we got to think that. Okay,

0:44:21.160 --> 0:44:22.920
<v Speaker 1>he's a lot closer to the end than he was

0:44:22.960 --> 0:44:26.399
<v Speaker 1>in the beginning. Okay, Terrence Steele is a free agent

0:44:27.160 --> 0:44:31.080
<v Speaker 1>next year, Tyler Badish is a free agent. The starting

0:44:31.160 --> 0:44:33.560
<v Speaker 1>center is a free agent next year. And right now,

0:44:33.640 --> 0:44:37.839
<v Speaker 1>you got a hold at guard too. So there are

0:44:38.600 --> 0:44:43.000
<v Speaker 1>of those five starters, Mickey, that you have penciled in

0:44:43.120 --> 0:44:47.000
<v Speaker 1>for this year, three of them are uncertain for next

0:44:47.080 --> 0:44:49.399
<v Speaker 1>year on this team. And so I think when you're

0:44:49.400 --> 0:44:52.279
<v Speaker 1>looking at the draft, you have to you have to

0:44:52.640 --> 0:44:56.879
<v Speaker 1>have a four to five year window in mind. Where

0:44:57.000 --> 0:44:58.680
<v Speaker 1>is this team going to be a year from now,

0:44:58.800 --> 0:45:03.640
<v Speaker 1>two years from now at that position, And so you

0:45:03.719 --> 0:45:06.000
<v Speaker 1>can paint a picture here that there is a real

0:45:06.200 --> 0:45:10.640
<v Speaker 1>need on the offensive line in this draft. Terrence Steele,

0:45:10.800 --> 0:45:12.560
<v Speaker 1>how let's say he comes back and has a good

0:45:12.640 --> 0:45:16.040
<v Speaker 1>year this year, what's his salary demand going to be

0:45:16.200 --> 0:45:21.160
<v Speaker 1>next year? Washington just signed a offensive tackle from Kansas City,

0:45:21.200 --> 0:45:24.560
<v Speaker 1>Andrew Wiley, three years, twenty four million dollars eight million

0:45:24.600 --> 0:45:28.080
<v Speaker 1>dollars a year. The tackles that went off the board

0:45:28.160 --> 0:45:32.600
<v Speaker 1>this year that made big money. Kansas City signed Juwan

0:45:32.719 --> 0:45:36.600
<v Speaker 1>Taylor from Jacksonville four years, eighty million, sixty million guaranteed.

0:45:37.160 --> 0:45:40.480
<v Speaker 1>Orlando Brown went from Kansas City to Cincinnati four year,

0:45:40.600 --> 0:45:43.440
<v Speaker 1>sixty four million with a thirty one million dollars signing bonus.

0:45:43.719 --> 0:45:47.480
<v Speaker 1>Will Terrence Steele be somewhere between the eight million dollars

0:45:47.520 --> 0:45:50.600
<v Speaker 1>a year and the twenty million dollars a year and

0:45:50.719 --> 0:45:53.200
<v Speaker 1>kind of the Cowboys afford that next year. All right,

0:45:53.239 --> 0:45:55.319
<v Speaker 1>so that's what you're looking that's what you're looking at

0:45:55.360 --> 0:45:59.560
<v Speaker 1>it steel, and then you've got two other spots interior. Yeah,

0:45:59.640 --> 0:46:04.200
<v Speaker 1>eight for sure. So you don't have to have a

0:46:04.400 --> 0:46:07.480
<v Speaker 1>first round pick in every spot on the offractive wine.

0:46:08.239 --> 0:46:11.680
<v Speaker 1>So I'll say what I said last year. Find me

0:46:11.760 --> 0:46:16.080
<v Speaker 1>a tackle that can play guard in the interim until

0:46:16.120 --> 0:46:18.080
<v Speaker 1>he's ready to, which is what they did last year.

0:46:18.280 --> 0:46:20.680
<v Speaker 1>Don't draft a guard. Well you can do you're changing.

0:46:20.760 --> 0:46:26.200
<v Speaker 1>You said no one would draft of guard. That's what

0:46:26.320 --> 0:46:33.200
<v Speaker 1>you said. That's real close to you. I remember this conversation.

0:46:33.239 --> 0:46:37.440
<v Speaker 1>Are they okay? How are they near the situation they

0:46:37.480 --> 0:46:41.560
<v Speaker 1>were ten years ago when they took Tyring Smith in

0:46:41.680 --> 0:46:44.759
<v Speaker 1>the first round top ten pick in twenty eleven, and

0:46:44.920 --> 0:46:49.359
<v Speaker 1>then in twenty thirteen was it Travis Frederick and then

0:46:49.440 --> 0:46:53.400
<v Speaker 1>twenty fourteen Zach Martin? All Right, you just took Tyler

0:46:53.520 --> 0:46:56.080
<v Speaker 1>Smith in twenty twenty two. How close are they to

0:46:56.640 --> 0:46:58.960
<v Speaker 1>spending a couple of more first round draft picks or

0:46:59.280 --> 0:47:02.200
<v Speaker 1>was that the wrong approach to take ten years ago? No,

0:47:02.480 --> 0:47:05.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm saying, but you don't have to do everything in

0:47:05.760 --> 0:47:09.520
<v Speaker 1>the first round. That then they had nothing to work with.

0:47:10.480 --> 0:47:14.480
<v Speaker 1>They were they were toast. That's why twenty ten happened. Right, So,

0:47:14.640 --> 0:47:16.640
<v Speaker 1>you feel like they've got they've got more to work

0:47:16.719 --> 0:47:19.000
<v Speaker 1>with now in that offensive line than what they had

0:47:19.000 --> 0:47:22.680
<v Speaker 1>to the Pro Bowl this year. By the way, Tyler

0:47:24.520 --> 0:47:26.799
<v Speaker 1>went to the Pro Bowl, right, right, So, and he's

0:47:26.840 --> 0:47:30.080
<v Speaker 1>a free agent next year. Well, you got a signal

0:47:30.200 --> 0:47:32.759
<v Speaker 1>to me, that's more that. To me, that's crucial when

0:47:32.760 --> 0:47:35.960
<v Speaker 1>you're talking about the center. You know, every everyone else

0:47:36.040 --> 0:47:38.839
<v Speaker 1>may may block better, you know, they may fit very well,

0:47:38.920 --> 0:47:41.239
<v Speaker 1>they may dominate. But when you have a center that

0:47:41.280 --> 0:47:44.319
<v Speaker 1>you're accustomed to, to me, that's crucial. And oh, by

0:47:44.400 --> 0:47:47.000
<v Speaker 1>the way, oh by the way, as we're talking about

0:47:47.040 --> 0:47:51.640
<v Speaker 1>these offensive linemen, Zack Martin turns thirty three in November,

0:47:52.840 --> 0:47:56.840
<v Speaker 1>but no one, nobody knows that, no one even no

0:47:56.920 --> 0:48:00.239
<v Speaker 1>one cares because he doesn't show it. He doesn't. That's right.

0:48:02.440 --> 0:48:04.520
<v Speaker 1>My point is, you don't take a guard in the

0:48:04.600 --> 0:48:08.040
<v Speaker 1>first Oh stop, see that is what you said last year.

0:48:08.560 --> 0:48:17.920
<v Speaker 1>That's that's right. Go look at Tyler Smith's draft bio.

0:48:18.120 --> 0:48:23.759
<v Speaker 1>It said, O, t okay, you know you know what

0:48:23.880 --> 0:48:27.800
<v Speaker 1>I say. If Zack Martin is there at the twenty

0:48:27.880 --> 0:48:33.640
<v Speaker 1>sixth pick in the first round. Take Zach Martin. Hello,

0:48:33.719 --> 0:48:37.560
<v Speaker 1>best player available, that's right. Best. I think it has

0:48:37.600 --> 0:48:39.960
<v Speaker 1>a lot to do with the quality of the player

0:48:41.920 --> 0:48:45.520
<v Speaker 1>across the board. That's where the mistakes are made when

0:48:45.600 --> 0:48:50.319
<v Speaker 1>you take a defensive end because I got to get

0:48:50.360 --> 0:48:54.440
<v Speaker 1>a defensive end. Bags is very judgmental. That's his problem. No,

0:48:54.719 --> 0:48:57.720
<v Speaker 1>here's the deal. They didn't go into the draft thinking

0:48:57.760 --> 0:49:01.080
<v Speaker 1>they were gonna take Zack Martin, right. They wanted the

0:49:01.200 --> 0:49:07.200
<v Speaker 1>linebacker Ryan and Pittsburgh took him the point at the

0:49:07.320 --> 0:49:13.320
<v Speaker 1>pick before him, and they basically said, uh, we're not

0:49:13.440 --> 0:49:16.360
<v Speaker 1>taking the knucklehead quarterback from A and M. You know,

0:49:16.560 --> 0:49:19.520
<v Speaker 1>we'll just take a guard. And everybody was up in arms.

0:49:19.680 --> 0:49:26.879
<v Speaker 1>Right if you remember Everson, were you up in arms?

0:49:26.960 --> 0:49:29.680
<v Speaker 1>They didn't take Johnny Man's up in arms? I could

0:49:29.840 --> 0:49:32.200
<v Speaker 1>not believe it. I don't even know he's talking about.

0:49:40.040 --> 0:49:45.320
<v Speaker 1>He weighs. He now no one cares. He's tried every

0:49:45.520 --> 0:49:49.280
<v Speaker 1>possible league that below the NFL. Right, and he steals

0:49:49.640 --> 0:49:53.120
<v Speaker 1>all right, we speaking at quarterbacks. Where would you like

0:49:53.239 --> 0:49:55.239
<v Speaker 1>to take a quarterback in this draft or would you

0:49:55.360 --> 0:50:01.360
<v Speaker 1>like to Well, if I take one, he's got to

0:50:01.400 --> 0:50:09.319
<v Speaker 1>be better than Will Greer. So fifth round, sixth round,

0:50:09.920 --> 0:50:14.160
<v Speaker 1>somewhere there, third day, so you would not. But he's

0:50:14.200 --> 0:50:16.200
<v Speaker 1>got to be better than Will Greer. You know that.

0:50:16.360 --> 0:50:19.439
<v Speaker 1>That's a that's a that's a that's a wide bar

0:50:19.800 --> 0:50:23.200
<v Speaker 1>spad because Will Greer could be if amazing at one

0:50:23.280 --> 0:50:26.880
<v Speaker 1>moment and they just be amazingly bad another moment. So

0:50:27.080 --> 0:50:29.440
<v Speaker 1>if I'm taking a quarterback, I'm taking I'm one. I'm

0:50:29.480 --> 0:50:34.080
<v Speaker 1>gonna take a quarterback who within two to three years

0:50:36.239 --> 0:50:43.359
<v Speaker 1>is better than Cooper Rush. Yeah, but I know your point.

0:50:43.719 --> 0:50:46.319
<v Speaker 1>You you're taking a quarterback, it's gonna be on your

0:50:46.680 --> 0:50:49.200
<v Speaker 1>your fifty three man roster. So he's gonna be ahead

0:50:49.239 --> 0:50:53.960
<v Speaker 1>of Will Greer. Yes, absolutely, that's right. I got I

0:50:54.000 --> 0:50:56.360
<v Speaker 1>gotta vote he's better than Cooper Run. I got a

0:50:56.480 --> 0:51:00.279
<v Speaker 1>quarterback that the mid mid round quarterback that I like,

0:51:01.200 --> 0:51:04.320
<v Speaker 1>I'm intrigued by out of Hebrew in high school and

0:51:04.440 --> 0:51:08.520
<v Speaker 1>the University of Houston named Clayton Tune. Take a look

0:51:08.560 --> 0:51:12.520
<v Speaker 1>at him before. Oh no, I've seen him play. Okay,

0:51:13.560 --> 0:51:15.799
<v Speaker 1>So what do you think of clay Yeah, I think

0:51:15.840 --> 0:51:19.720
<v Speaker 1>he's awfully good stout. Now it's gonna be interesting CEO.

0:51:19.880 --> 0:51:24.200
<v Speaker 1>Now he's visiting like seven or eight teams reportedly, and

0:51:24.480 --> 0:51:29.000
<v Speaker 1>so he may be long gone before cowboys would be interested.

0:51:29.080 --> 0:51:33.000
<v Speaker 1>And maybe I don't know, we'll see he's gone third

0:51:33.120 --> 0:51:36.560
<v Speaker 1>round fifteen. If you got seven or eight teams looking

0:51:36.560 --> 0:51:40.919
<v Speaker 1>at him, he could be Yeah, that's a little high. Yeah,

0:51:41.200 --> 0:51:45.040
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I don't know if it's high for him right,

0:51:45.120 --> 0:51:47.839
<v Speaker 1>high for the cowboy exactly. That's I know what you're saying. Yeah,

0:51:48.280 --> 0:51:51.120
<v Speaker 1>all right, I've been told, I've been told. We got

0:51:51.200 --> 0:51:52.759
<v Speaker 1>to get out of here. I want to say something.

0:51:53.800 --> 0:51:58.840
