Speaker 1: you guys for the next hour. Man, we got a

12
00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:56,800
Speaker 1: lot to get into talking about. We'll talking about quarterbacks today.

13
00:00:56,840 --> 00:00:58,840
Speaker 1: I think yesterday we've spent quite a bit of time

14
00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:02,279
Speaker 1: talking about the running back situation in Zeke Elliott. Uh

15
00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:04,040
Speaker 1: and I just think we spend a little time on

16
00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:07,039
Speaker 1: this quarterback. Lots of things to talk about there. How's

17
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:11,640
Speaker 1: everybody feeling this morning? I feel great, feel comfortable. Nice.

18
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:19,400
Speaker 1: It's sixty three degrees here. Hey, it's better than Dallas.

19
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:23,760
Speaker 1: It's great for the players Cowboys. All right, Well, let's

20
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:26,199
Speaker 1: jump right in. Nick. Hey, actually just like we did yesterday,

21
00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:28,959
Speaker 1: We're gonna start. We're gonna start with a segment of

22
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:31,640
Speaker 1: blanket coverage. That's what I call this segment. What I'll

23
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:35,160
Speaker 1: do is I'll have some statements for you. We got

24
00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:38,720
Speaker 1: three states, we got three statements, and they're all gonna

25
00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:41,840
Speaker 1: have a blank that you guys will fill in. Let's

26
00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:43,840
Speaker 1: start with the first statement. Kellen Moore is the first

27
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:45,720
Speaker 1: time Now this one's a little long, so follow me here.

28
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:49,040
Speaker 1: Kellen Moore is the first time offensive coordinator with a

29
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:51,520
Speaker 1: ton of weapons. John Kitton is the first year QB

30
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:54,440
Speaker 1: coach task with taking back to the next level. The

31
00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:59,880
Speaker 1: coach who has the harder job is blank, Dave Kellen Moore,

32
00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:03,600
Speaker 1: Because I mean John kittnas he said it more times

33
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:05,520
Speaker 1: than I can count at this point. Like Dak is,

34
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:07,640
Speaker 1: he said. Dak is the most driven player he's ever

35
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:11,519
Speaker 1: been around. His desire to be great is all consuming

36
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:15,280
Speaker 1: and refreshing, and he wants to be coached and pushed.

37
00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:17,760
Speaker 1: So I mean, it's you know, it's hard. I get that,

38
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:20,919
Speaker 1: but that doesn't sound that challenging. Whereas Kellen Moore's got

39
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:23,160
Speaker 1: to do something with an offense that finished twenty eight

40
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:26,840
Speaker 1: second in the League last year ever, Kellen, I mean,

41
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:30,320
Speaker 1: when you look at it, Kinna essentially has to coach

42
00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:33,120
Speaker 1: one main guy. Yes, he has to coach whoever the

43
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:37,800
Speaker 1: backtub is gonna be. But that's important too, very very important.

44
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:42,000
Speaker 1: Don't lose that, don't lose very important. Yes, But in essence,

45
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:46,480
Speaker 1: you're focusing on one to three guys versus Kellen Moore,

46
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:49,400
Speaker 1: who's having to take control of a whole offense and

47
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:53,000
Speaker 1: dealing with different components and making sure that he's creating

48
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:56,959
Speaker 1: something different that we haven't seen before. Not to which

49
00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:58,880
Speaker 1: I mean Nick needs to answer the question too. But

50
00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:01,960
Speaker 1: Kelly Moore's gotta make he's got to make this thing go.

51
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:04,000
Speaker 1: And there's a lot of talent on that offense, which

52
00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:06,120
Speaker 1: means there's a lot of people who have an idea

53
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:08,680
Speaker 1: about the way it should be, whether that's dad and

54
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:11,640
Speaker 1: when someone else's job is on your shoulder. But he

55
00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:13,800
Speaker 1: also is dealing with a lot of guys, at least

56
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:16,960
Speaker 1: in my perspective, aren't necessarily give me the ball kind

57
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:18,840
Speaker 1: of guys. No, they all want they all want to

58
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:20,440
Speaker 1: be a part, don't get me wrong, But I don't

59
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:24,320
Speaker 1: know if you've got guys that are give me the ball, No,

60
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:26,600
Speaker 1: like you make not so much. Sometimes you have that

61
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:29,160
Speaker 1: much talent, Give me the ball. But that didn't work.

62
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:31,520
Speaker 1: This would have worked, which a lot of times this

63
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:33,280
Speaker 1: would have worked. Means it would have worked if you'd

64
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:37,640
Speaker 1: gotten to the ball. But Nick, it's Kellen Moore because

65
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:41,400
Speaker 1: last year the offense struggled, and what happened the offensive

66
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:44,000
Speaker 1: coordinator got fired, or what happened the quarterback coach got

67
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:47,080
Speaker 1: a promotion, so Kellen Moore moved into a spot. And

68
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:51,040
Speaker 1: so it is. It's obviously the pressure is on Kellen

69
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:53,840
Speaker 1: Moore now is the offensive coordinator. If they don't do well,

70
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 1: he may not be the guy. But John Kittenham, for

71
00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:59,240
Speaker 1: some reason, as the quarterback coach, just like Kellen did,

72
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:02,040
Speaker 1: got a promo motion out of it. So I think

73
00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:05,040
Speaker 1: Jerry and Jason and they look at it, like you know,

74
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:08,520
Speaker 1: there's obviously a lot more pressure for the offensive coordinator,

75
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:10,600
Speaker 1: and I think last year was a good example of that.

76
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:13,320
Speaker 1: All right. Statement Number two, Shaun Lee reportedly asked to

77
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:17,200
Speaker 1: be a special teams player entering his tenth season. Sean

78
00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:21,960
Speaker 1: Lee is blank. I'm not going to agree with that. Okay,

79
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:24,279
Speaker 1: I don't think Sean Lee asked to be a special

80
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:27,000
Speaker 1: teams player. I think Sean I think Sean Lee has

81
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:31,479
Speaker 1: said I'll do what it takes, whatever is needed of Okay, Okay,

82
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:35,080
Speaker 1: I just want to get out there. I think that's yeah.

83
00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:37,560
Speaker 1: I think you could probably say the same thing about

84
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:40,360
Speaker 1: moving to Sam linebacker too. Okay, but let's okay, Let's

85
00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:43,160
Speaker 1: say Sean Lee has agreed and he's willing to be

86
00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:45,640
Speaker 1: a special teams player in his tenth season. Shan Lee

87
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:49,600
Speaker 1: is blank nick, all in, all in for this football team.

88
00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:52,080
Speaker 1: He whatever it takes. Sean Lee is there. And I

89
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:54,040
Speaker 1: know that there was a lot of talk about, Hey,

90
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:56,520
Speaker 1: he lives in California. He wanted to go go back

91
00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:59,320
Speaker 1: to Dallas just so he could take the charter, and

92
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:01,520
Speaker 1: he said to us yesterday, I want to get on

93
00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:04,320
Speaker 1: these charters as long as I can those charters. This

94
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:06,880
Speaker 1: is when the football team is together and going up there.

95
00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:11,320
Speaker 1: He's all in. He knows Layton and m Jalen are

96
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:14,400
Speaker 1: the two best linebackers on the team. He wants to

97
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:16,880
Speaker 1: have a role, and he understand it. I just think

98
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:19,760
Speaker 1: it's all in, Dave. I just suck up to Jason

99
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:24,080
Speaker 1: Garrett and say driven les driven, which that can mean

100
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:26,680
Speaker 1: a lot of I mean, he's he's been driven to

101
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:28,680
Speaker 1: be great at football since he was, like, what at

102
00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:31,760
Speaker 1: fourteen years old? But I think, you know, I think

103
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:34,159
Speaker 1: i'll use a Brian broadest term too, like he's he's

104
00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:37,640
Speaker 1: chipping in on seventeen or eighteen, like his his career

105
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:39,480
Speaker 1: is much closer to the end than the beginning, and

106
00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:41,479
Speaker 1: wouldn't surprise me if this is the final year of

107
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:45,120
Speaker 1: his career or you know, it's close. And I think

108
00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:48,080
Speaker 1: he knows this is a really talented team and rather

109
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:50,919
Speaker 1: than worry about his ego, he's gonna he's driven to

110
00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:52,919
Speaker 1: do whatever he can to help them. I really admire it.

111
00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:56,680
Speaker 1: Shan Lee is blank Amber. He's awesome. I love him.

112
00:05:56,720 --> 00:06:00,760
Speaker 1: I love Slee. He's passionate, he's smart, he is driven,

113
00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:04,919
Speaker 1: he's focused, he loves this game. He is a great

114
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:08,039
Speaker 1: teammate and like every both of them have said, he

115
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:10,480
Speaker 1: would do anything for this team. And the fact that

116
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:14,880
Speaker 1: he's not selfish and still does it with good heart.

117
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:17,760
Speaker 1: You know, you don't see any animosity. I don't even

118
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:19,680
Speaker 1: know if that's the right words, but he sounds right.

119
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:24,680
Speaker 1: He doesn't have any hate or envy towards anybody. He's

120
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:28,200
Speaker 1: just a great teammate, and I think that's exactly what

121
00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:31,640
Speaker 1: the Cowboys needed, especially at this time. And he's he's amazing.

122
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:34,120
Speaker 1: All right, let's move on statement number three. The Cowboys

123
00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:37,080
Speaker 1: to this point have had all their practices in shorts

124
00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:39,760
Speaker 1: and T shirts. Today they put on the pads when

125
00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:43,520
Speaker 1: the Pats come on. I'm most excited to see Blank

126
00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:49,120
Speaker 1: Amber fight fight. I already sucked up to Garrett you

127
00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:54,880
Speaker 1: can't do it too from last year. No, I am excited.

128
00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:57,960
Speaker 1: I'm excited to finally see some contact and be able

129
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:01,320
Speaker 1: to see, for example, players like Tacco, what is he

130
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:03,320
Speaker 1: gonna do? There are some guys I come in here

131
00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:06,159
Speaker 1: and yes, they look physically, they look good, they have

132
00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:10,400
Speaker 1: you athletusis and but once that contact comes in in

133
00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:13,240
Speaker 1: action and you get to do it and get off

134
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:15,320
Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage, what are you gonna do? Are

135
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:17,160
Speaker 1: you able to move around? Are you able to take

136
00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:20,040
Speaker 1: guys like Tyrn Smith? Are you able to take other

137
00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:22,800
Speaker 1: guys out? You know? So, I'm excited to see them

138
00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:27,240
Speaker 1: full go Dave action. Yeah. I don't want to single

139
00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:29,920
Speaker 1: one specific thing out because there's so much to watch,

140
00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:33,560
Speaker 1: but I mean these, you know, the OTA practices are

141
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:36,000
Speaker 1: I mean boring, for lack of a better word. There's

142
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:37,880
Speaker 1: not a lot going on, especially out here. At least

143
00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:39,640
Speaker 1: in the spring. They were going against each other, no

144
00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:43,240
Speaker 1: offense versus defense whatsoever. The last two days. That's going

145
00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:45,480
Speaker 1: to change today, whether it's one on ones, whether it's

146
00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:49,080
Speaker 1: actual offense versus defense, We're just gonna see action in

147
00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:51,800
Speaker 1: real football. And it's great. Yeah, I'll just be specific

148
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:54,400
Speaker 1: to what they're saying. I mean, one on one drills,

149
00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:58,040
Speaker 1: you know, the lineman versus the live versus the D line.

150
00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:01,000
Speaker 1: You know, the guys like that, and that's where you know,

151
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:04,400
Speaker 1: that's where you noticed Antoine Woods from a year ago.

152
00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:07,160
Speaker 1: That's where he started to make, you know, some noise.

153
00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:11,600
Speaker 1: And so who's this year's guy going to be? So yeah,

154
00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:13,680
Speaker 1: it's it's very interesting you said that. I know you

155
00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:15,400
Speaker 1: and I were talking about this yesterday talking about the

156
00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:19,160
Speaker 1: offensive versus defensive line. This may be the deepest offensive

157
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:21,720
Speaker 1: line that we've had around here in a while. We

158
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:23,680
Speaker 1: were talking about the fact that if you look at

159
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:26,320
Speaker 1: this second team offensive line, they may be as good

160
00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:29,400
Speaker 1: as some first team units around the NFL. So when

161
00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:31,440
Speaker 1: you when you consider that and you consider that up

162
00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:33,960
Speaker 1: against the talent that this team has on the defensive

163
00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:37,080
Speaker 1: line as well. I think there's some really really unique

164
00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:39,600
Speaker 1: opportunities to see some really good football there and see

165
00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:42,719
Speaker 1: some fun competition here over the next couple of days. Um, so,

166
00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:45,679
Speaker 1: let's let's go and jump into this conversation on the quarterbacks.

167
00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:48,560
Speaker 1: I guess the first thing I want to kind of

168
00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:51,000
Speaker 1: get into is a lot of talk that was happening

169
00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:53,360
Speaker 1: during the offseason, and you guys watched all the OTAs

170
00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:56,000
Speaker 1: in mini miniicamp practices. There was a ton of talk

171
00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:59,040
Speaker 1: about how, you know, Dak's been working with Kitna, He's

172
00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:02,240
Speaker 1: improved his footwork work, his accuracy is better. I'll ask

173
00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:04,640
Speaker 1: you guys, after watching that, was there anything that you

174
00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:08,320
Speaker 1: saw that that gave credence to those kinds of statements

175
00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:11,440
Speaker 1: that his accuracy has improved, his footwork has improved. What

176
00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:13,280
Speaker 1: have you seen just in OTAs in mini camps and

177
00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:16,439
Speaker 1: maybe the first two days practice mid level throws eighteen yards?

178
00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:20,360
Speaker 1: Those throws right there are the ones that you see

179
00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:23,560
Speaker 1: these guys open a lot. I think that that's a

180
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:25,880
Speaker 1: credit to also Kellen Moore. I feel like these guys

181
00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:29,000
Speaker 1: are getting schemed open more. But you know, he can

182
00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:31,480
Speaker 1: throw the ball deep. He can obviously throw it short

183
00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:33,440
Speaker 1: underneath and make the right reads and all that, but

184
00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:36,240
Speaker 1: those eighteen yard throws, those are the ones that are

185
00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:39,280
Speaker 1: the toughest ones. And to make a really good quarterback,

186
00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:41,280
Speaker 1: you got to throw it over the linebacker and under

187
00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:44,560
Speaker 1: the safety as the guys moving. And I think we've

188
00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:46,800
Speaker 1: seen We'll see what happens when them when you know,

189
00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:49,800
Speaker 1: pads come on. But I think those are the passes

190
00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:52,880
Speaker 1: that I've been impressed with. Yeah, just looked, I mean,

191
00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:55,880
Speaker 1: his anticipation and his placement looked phenomenal. In the spring,

192
00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:58,319
Speaker 1: it really stood out to me with Randall Cobb. That's

193
00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:01,960
Speaker 1: I just have sky high hopes for what they can be.

194
00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:06,240
Speaker 1: And yeah, intermediate throws leading the receiver, putting it on

195
00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:07,959
Speaker 1: him instead of behind him or too far out in

196
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:11,080
Speaker 1: front of little stuff like that. I haven't really you know.

197
00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:13,560
Speaker 1: I know people are arguing about some of his throws

198
00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:15,839
Speaker 1: out here so far these first two days, and I

199
00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:18,400
Speaker 1: couldn't care less. It's all on air. It's really hard

200
00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:21,760
Speaker 1: to tell how accurate they are when nobody's contesting it.

201
00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:24,440
Speaker 1: So I haven't seen anything to really give me an

202
00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:27,920
Speaker 1: impression to this point out here. But in OTAs he

203
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:31,319
Speaker 1: really he looked different in a good way. Really, yeah,

204
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:34,520
Speaker 1: he did. That's good old now, you know well, And

205
00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:37,040
Speaker 1: I like when he's starting to step out of the

206
00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:39,880
Speaker 1: comfort zone that I feel that the Cowboys had built

207
00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:43,480
Speaker 1: around him and for him of those short yardish throws

208
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:46,440
Speaker 1: you know, to Cole Beasley, Jason Witten when he was

209
00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:48,800
Speaker 1: here and now that he's back, Yeah, that's great. But

210
00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:51,760
Speaker 1: being able to see him make those throws down the

211
00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:55,480
Speaker 1: field now at this point of the what it's not

212
00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:57,800
Speaker 1: the season, but the off season. I guess at this

213
00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:00,679
Speaker 1: point of the year, it's good, yes, training camp, but

214
00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:02,960
Speaker 1: it's good to see and the fact that he is

215
00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:07,080
Speaker 1: being able to make those throw it's very motivational for

216
00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:09,520
Speaker 1: what is to come this year. Yeah, it's interesting. I

217
00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:11,320
Speaker 1: just I want to see it here now. Yeah. Right,

218
00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:14,160
Speaker 1: it's very interesting. And I think at this point what

219
00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:16,559
Speaker 1: we really are wanting to see is does he take

220
00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:19,840
Speaker 1: that next step into being one of the elite quarterbacks

221
00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:22,080
Speaker 1: in the NFL. He's done some really good things. I

222
00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:23,720
Speaker 1: was telling you, Dave before we went on the air.

223
00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:25,640
Speaker 1: I went back last night and I was doing some

224
00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:29,720
Speaker 1: research on just some historically how you would how would

225
00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:33,200
Speaker 1: you would characterize what Dak has done in the first

226
00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:34,800
Speaker 1: three years of his career, and check out some of

227
00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:37,680
Speaker 1: these numbers. Really remarkable stuff when you think about it.

228
00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:39,640
Speaker 1: But the first thing said out to me is he

229
00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:42,160
Speaker 1: is only one of eight players in the NFL has

230
00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:44,520
Speaker 1: started all games. So the first three years as a

231
00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:47,680
Speaker 1: quarterback's again, we're talking about one hundred years NFL this

232
00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:50,520
Speaker 1: year is celebrating a hundred years of existence, and in

233
00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:53,000
Speaker 1: a hundred years, he is one of eight players that's

234
00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:55,400
Speaker 1: been able to do that. Here are the interesting numbers.

235
00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:58,800
Speaker 1: He is second all time in completion percentage in the

236
00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:00,960
Speaker 1: first three years of his career at sixty six point

237
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:05,400
Speaker 1: one percent. He is fifth in wins with thirty two.

238
00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:09,480
Speaker 1: He is six in quarterback rating with ninety six. And

239
00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:11,199
Speaker 1: here was the stat that really jumped off to me.

240
00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:14,840
Speaker 1: He is number one all time one hundred years first

241
00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:17,120
Speaker 1: three years of a quarterback's career in game winning drives

242
00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:20,880
Speaker 1: with fourteen. This guy's had a pretty phenomenal first three

243
00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:24,319
Speaker 1: years as a quarterback in the NFL. So here's what

244
00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:25,679
Speaker 1: I wanted to do with you guys. We're gonna play

245
00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:28,679
Speaker 1: a little game. It's gonna be I'm gonna give you

246
00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:30,680
Speaker 1: a name I'm gonna go down this list of last

247
00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:34,920
Speaker 1: season the quarterbacks in the NFL in order of passing yards,

248
00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:36,840
Speaker 1: and when I want you guys to tell me would

249
00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:39,080
Speaker 1: you rather would you rather have Dak or this guy?

250
00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:43,439
Speaker 1: All right on, Dak for what to this year? Or

251
00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:46,360
Speaker 1: as my quarterbacks because I have a new franchise. No

252
00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:50,679
Speaker 1: that Derek acts like that's not fair, but it totally is.

253
00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:53,080
Speaker 1: It's fair. I just it's just I didn't think that

254
00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:55,840
Speaker 1: far ahead. Tell you what, let's how would you prefer

255
00:12:55,880 --> 00:13:00,280
Speaker 1: to do this year? This year? Just for this year? Yeah,

256
00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:02,400
Speaker 1: just for this year, not for the future, just for

257
00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:04,400
Speaker 1: this year. All right, that's fine. I'm going with that.

258
00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:05,839
Speaker 1: I'm going with that. So here's what we're gonna do.

259
00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:07,680
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go through the list. You tell me would

260
00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:09,000
Speaker 1: you rather have that guy? That guy. I'm gonna try

261
00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:11,160
Speaker 1: to keep score here, and what I'm looking for is

262
00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:13,720
Speaker 1: the total. So if we can get two out of three,

263
00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:15,680
Speaker 1: then we'll count that person. I want to see how

264
00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:18,400
Speaker 1: many quarterbacks in the NFL you guys would rather have

265
00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:25,920
Speaker 1: instead of Dack? Okay, got it, Ben Roethlisberger, Dak. That's tough.

266
00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:30,600
Speaker 1: Come on, first thought, I don't like this scheme, let's

267
00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:33,600
Speaker 1: go probably been all right, which that's tough because I

268
00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:36,800
Speaker 1: assume Ben's gonna miss like anywhere between two and four games,

269
00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:39,800
Speaker 1: all right, and you'd rather have been I think, So okay,

270
00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:46,480
Speaker 1: Amber this year, I think Dak. I'm gonna go with that. Okay,

271
00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:49,840
Speaker 1: So Ben is out. Patrick Mahomes my homes all right,

272
00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:58,640
Speaker 1: that's one. Matt Ryan, Matt Ryan. M I would say

273
00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:02,960
Speaker 1: with Dak, you stay with Dack Nick. I'm sorry for

274
00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:05,040
Speaker 1: I need the judge's ruling on this. Is this for

275
00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:07,960
Speaker 1: the Cowboys? Is Matt Ryan on the Cowboys or Dak

276
00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:09,400
Speaker 1: on the game? Is that what we're doing? Who would

277
00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:11,480
Speaker 1: you rather have on the cowbooks for this year? Matt Ryan,

278
00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:14,559
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan. Okay, So Matt Rown makes two. Jared Golf,

279
00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:18,200
Speaker 1: Dack Dack I'm not a I'm not a believer in

280
00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:22,720
Speaker 1: golf yet. Andrew Luck Luck Look yeah, all right, So

281
00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:27,040
Speaker 1: that's three. Aaron Rodgers, Aaron Rodgers, that's four. Tom Brady,

282
00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:32,600
Speaker 1: Tom Brady, that's five. H Philip Rivers Rivers for one year. Right,

283
00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:38,960
Speaker 1: We're not building the franchise this year? Yeah yeah, uh

284
00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:45,680
Speaker 1: Rivers Rivers Okay, I mean yeah, all right, So Rivers

285
00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:50,240
Speaker 1: that's six Eli Manning. Dak seriously, come on, Kirk Cousins

286
00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:55,320
Speaker 1: back all right, Deshaun Watson Dak Dack all right, that's

287
00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:57,800
Speaker 1: interesting to all y'all said that, okay, Um, Derek Carr

288
00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:02,520
Speaker 1: Dak Dak all right, Drew Brees breeze freeze all right,

289
00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:09,400
Speaker 1: Caseina Dak Dak all right. I mean and now and

290
00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:11,960
Speaker 1: now and now and now you get to the point

291
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:14,160
Speaker 1: of that's where Daki is right now, yeah, in passing

292
00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:22,080
Speaker 1: guards right then. Matthew Stafford, Oh, that's tough. Like that.

293
00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:25,680
Speaker 1: Matt Stafford is just he's so interesting because like he's

294
00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:29,960
Speaker 1: everything you could want in a quarterback, except like he

295
00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:32,560
Speaker 1: doesn't happen well, he doesn't have the one thing that

296
00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:35,000
Speaker 1: Dak has, which is like it, you know, the game

297
00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:40,200
Speaker 1: winning the chair, Matthew Stafford, and once he does, we're

298
00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:43,080
Speaker 1: still at zero playoff wins within with yeah, no and

299
00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:45,320
Speaker 1: what and you know, I get that that's hard, but like,

300
00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:49,040
Speaker 1: and he's very good. Like he's he's super talented. I

301
00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:51,760
Speaker 1: think recently somebody was quoted in the story of being

302
00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:54,800
Speaker 1: like he's the most talented quarter just if you're talking

303
00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:57,160
Speaker 1: about talent, he's the best one ever. Just in terms

304
00:15:57,160 --> 00:15:59,640
Speaker 1: of like god given ability, but he has yet to

305
00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:03,240
Speaker 1: dis like it, like and he's had a Megatron. You

306
00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:05,360
Speaker 1: can't say that he hasn't had Guys, He's had some

307
00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:08,480
Speaker 1: great things. I'll take like. There's no doubt he's more

308
00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:10,520
Speaker 1: talented than Dak. But I think i'll take my chances

309
00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:14,320
Speaker 1: with that Dack. You in Amber, can you switch them

310
00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:17,880
Speaker 1: in now? Like, okay, at this time of the game,

311
00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:24,080
Speaker 1: let him all right? Uh so he's out Baker Mayfield.

312
00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:28,040
Speaker 1: I really love Baker. I think he's going places, but

313
00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:30,440
Speaker 1: I gotta see more. I gotta see more than twelve

314
00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:34,240
Speaker 1: he starts. Yeah, Russell Wilson, Russ, I love Russ. All right?

315
00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:43,280
Speaker 1: Uh Cam Newton, dam Cam Newton on this Cam Newton

316
00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:46,760
Speaker 1: on this team could do some damnah. Yeah, I'll take Cam.

317
00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:50,120
Speaker 1: You'll take Cama going to camp. Okay, that's nine. I'll

318
00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:55,280
Speaker 1: take all right, Mitchell Trubisky Dak all right, Um, Carson

319
00:16:55,320 --> 00:17:01,000
Speaker 1: Wentz Dak Dak my game in sixteen games out of

320
00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:05,359
Speaker 1: wins this year. Okay, don't want this based on his

321
00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:08,840
Speaker 1: history whatever, whatever you think of his history. That's really tough.

322
00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:11,600
Speaker 1: I said it quick, but it's tough. It is tough.

323
00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:13,800
Speaker 1: But that may be one of the toughest ones that's

324
00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:16,359
Speaker 1: in this whole thing. I mean, if they're both healthy,

325
00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:19,280
Speaker 1: you know, don't kill me. Wentz is probably a better

326
00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:22,960
Speaker 1: pure quarterback. But Dak has never missed a game. Winz

327
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:24,840
Speaker 1: has had a problem with that his whole career, and

328
00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:26,840
Speaker 1: we had a problem with him. I'll take that because

329
00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:29,920
Speaker 1: I know I'm getting sixteen games, all right? Yeah? Still, okay,

330
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:35,120
Speaker 1: all right, so he's out, Um, Jamis Winston back, Sam

331
00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:40,840
Speaker 1: Donald back, Andy Dalton back, Marks Mariota back. I don't

332
00:17:40,880 --> 00:17:44,040
Speaker 1: think you can getting into the Yeah. The only other

333
00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:45,800
Speaker 1: guy that's down here you would even want to throw

334
00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:48,840
Speaker 1: in there would be Lamar Jackson. He's a starter, no back.

335
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:52,520
Speaker 1: All right, So we got nine guys. That's probably where

336
00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:56,879
Speaker 1: you would say that, so he would had him ten? Yeah?

337
00:17:57,160 --> 00:17:59,080
Speaker 1: Is that? Where? Is that? Where? And this is where

338
00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:01,040
Speaker 1: this was all leading? Is that what you would think

339
00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:03,160
Speaker 1: he ends up? If you were to say here's how

340
00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:05,680
Speaker 1: I think Dak ranks in the NFL, would you think

341
00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:08,520
Speaker 1: he's right there around ten? In to is a top

342
00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:10,840
Speaker 1: ten quarterback in the NFL, depending on how much the

343
00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:14,080
Speaker 1: person you're polling likes the Cowboys. Yeah, he's somewhere between

344
00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:17,720
Speaker 1: ninth and I'll even say sixteenth. Like, you know, there's

345
00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:20,280
Speaker 1: somebody out there that's, like I saw yesterday, somebody was like,

346
00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:22,119
Speaker 1: dak is Andy Dalton. That's just who he is. That's

347
00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:24,320
Speaker 1: what the stats say is And Okay, so you might

348
00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:26,200
Speaker 1: even just drop him down as far as like fifteen

349
00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:30,680
Speaker 1: or sixteen, but he's somewhere in that range between second

350
00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:32,879
Speaker 1: tier in the middle of the past. Yeah, depending on

351
00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:34,840
Speaker 1: who you ask. There's a lot of people, you know,

352
00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:38,320
Speaker 1: a national that would say, you know, Roethlisberger is better.

353
00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:40,679
Speaker 1: He's won super Bowls obviously, and then they would go

354
00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:43,800
Speaker 1: wins and and maybe Stafford and some others. But are

355
00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:45,840
Speaker 1: people that are listening right now are probably like, how

356
00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:47,760
Speaker 1: could you pick him over Matt Ryan or something? You

357
00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:49,440
Speaker 1: know what I mean? They would probably have him seven,

358
00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:52,000
Speaker 1: you know, six or seven. So it's a fun game.

359
00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:53,280
Speaker 1: That was a good game. All right, let's go and

360
00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:55,080
Speaker 1: take our first break. When we come back, I want

361
00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:56,600
Speaker 1: to talk about I want to narrow that down a

362
00:18:56,600 --> 00:18:58,320
Speaker 1: little bit more and talk about two guys that we've

363
00:18:58,320 --> 00:19:00,600
Speaker 1: compared him to on this show. Some of our other

364
00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:04,080
Speaker 1: conversations Russell Wilson, Tom Brady and their first three years

365
00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:05,719
Speaker 1: and where Dak ranks there. We'll talk about that when

Speaker 1: we come right back. This is Dalas Cowboys dot Com Radio.

Speaker 1: have to find the content that we're producing you. But

422
00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:49,600
Speaker 1: I did want to talk back get back into this

423
00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:52,560
Speaker 1: quarterback conversation. We talked about where Dak kind of ranks

424
00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:56,240
Speaker 1: historically around the NFL, really great numbers. He compares very

425
00:21:56,240 --> 00:21:59,760
Speaker 1: well over one hundred years of quarterbacks in the NFL.

426
00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:02,399
Speaker 1: I do want to say, and I'm not trying to

427
00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:04,879
Speaker 1: take credit away from Dak, but with the way the

428
00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:09,720
Speaker 1: game is now, absolutely comparing rating and completion percentage to

429
00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:13,159
Speaker 1: anybody that played before like two thousand and five, is

430
00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:15,800
Speaker 1: I don't care, Like, yeah, of course he's got a

431
00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:18,639
Speaker 1: better completion percentage than y a tittle like the you know,

432
00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:21,960
Speaker 1: safeties used to literally murder people in the secondary back then.

433
00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:25,399
Speaker 1: So still very impressive, but the stats are so skewed.

434
00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:30,160
Speaker 1: I think he when he retired, he had the all

435
00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:32,720
Speaker 1: time leading quarterback rating in the history of the NFL

436
00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:35,199
Speaker 1: was like eighty three eighty three point two. Yeah, and

437
00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:37,840
Speaker 1: now if you look at the all time leaders, they're

438
00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:39,400
Speaker 1: all at current players. You know, it's just the way

439
00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:41,840
Speaker 1: the game it is and that but that also wins something.

440
00:22:42,520 --> 00:22:44,520
Speaker 1: The wins in the first three year and saying that

441
00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:46,719
Speaker 1: that's impressive, but that also speaks to something. It speaks

442
00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:48,919
Speaker 1: to the fact that even with those guys that have

443
00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:50,640
Speaker 1: been playing since two thousand and five, that's the number

444
00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:52,080
Speaker 1: you're gonna go with. That's the year You're gonna go with,

445
00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:54,120
Speaker 1: there's been a lot of quarterbacks in NFL since two

446
00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:56,200
Speaker 1: thousand and five. And for him to be ranked where

447
00:22:56,200 --> 00:22:59,440
Speaker 1: he is in all these stats, in all these different categories,

448
00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:01,320
Speaker 1: I think says something. You know, and I don't know

449
00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:04,040
Speaker 1: where where he ranks as far like, what were the

450
00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:06,240
Speaker 1: other guys in there from the victories? Did you say

451
00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:08,600
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson or uh no, Actually I was going to

452
00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:11,320
Speaker 1: get into that. Uh, those guys actually were lower. Russell

453
00:23:11,359 --> 00:23:13,760
Speaker 1: Wilson and Tom Brady actually were lower as far as

454
00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:15,600
Speaker 1: number of wins than what he was in the first

455
00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:19,120
Speaker 1: three years, probably layoffs with his difference. Okay, right, playoffs

456
00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:22,639
Speaker 1: was you know. But the thing about about Dak is,

457
00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:25,040
Speaker 1: you know he comes in on a team that went

458
00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:28,800
Speaker 1: won four games the year before, you know, so it's

459
00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:31,760
Speaker 1: not like it was, you know, a Roethlisberger situation or

460
00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:34,200
Speaker 1: that just kind of jumps into a good team that's

461
00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:36,159
Speaker 1: already there. I Mean, this team had to had to

462
00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:39,600
Speaker 1: you know, move its way back up. So um, you know,

463
00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:42,520
Speaker 1: it's been impressive. These first three years have definitely been

464
00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:45,280
Speaker 1: impressive for him to go and win games, and especially

465
00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:47,640
Speaker 1: like you said, game winning drives that have to come

466
00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:50,440
Speaker 1: back and huge fourteen of them in his first three

467
00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:52,520
Speaker 1: years and eight I believe it was a full season

468
00:23:52,520 --> 00:23:56,080
Speaker 1: where eight fourth quarter comebacks. I believe eight think so

469
00:23:56,240 --> 00:23:58,560
Speaker 1: I think it was eight. Yeah, fourth quarter to comeback

470
00:23:58,640 --> 00:24:00,600
Speaker 1: is eight. He's tenth in the league. He's tenth in

471
00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:03,760
Speaker 1: league history in that stat. I can hear the people

472
00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:06,159
Speaker 1: in my mentions right now saying, well, if he played

473
00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:08,520
Speaker 1: better at the beginning of games, they wouldn't need to

474
00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:10,440
Speaker 1: do that at the end. And I'm just like, you

475
00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:12,840
Speaker 1: must not watch the NFL, like you must have no

476
00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:15,080
Speaker 1: idea what this sport, what this league is all about,

477
00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:17,919
Speaker 1: because it's a freaking it's a field goal league, like

478
00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:22,200
Speaker 1: one play between a win and a loss. League was

479
00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:25,200
Speaker 1: captain cumback. No one says that about him now, Seriously,

480
00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:29,840
Speaker 1: I think that championship, like you know, we we just

481
00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:31,760
Speaker 1: sat there and we I think we all pretty much

482
00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:34,920
Speaker 1: agreed that there's anywhere between six and nine quarterbacks that

483
00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:38,520
Speaker 1: we would take over Dak right now. But he is.

484
00:24:38,760 --> 00:24:42,119
Speaker 1: He is clutch. He has the it factor that we

485
00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:44,080
Speaker 1: talk so much about. I don't care if you get

486
00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:46,119
Speaker 1: tired of it, because I really do think it means something.

487
00:24:47,280 --> 00:24:51,439
Speaker 1: He doesn't make too many mistakes, like to see him

488
00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:53,280
Speaker 1: clean up the fumbles from last year a little bit,

489
00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:56,680
Speaker 1: but he doesn't make mistakes. His feet are an asset

490
00:24:56,800 --> 00:24:59,399
Speaker 1: that need to be used more. And eighteen touchdowns on

491
00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:01,840
Speaker 1: the grounds for itself, Like, there's so much to like

492
00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:04,240
Speaker 1: about where he is, and he is turning twenty six

493
00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:07,440
Speaker 1: today and that's great, and you want to talk about

494
00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:10,280
Speaker 1: so much should be happy about where he is. I

495
00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:12,560
Speaker 1: think you have to look no farther than, in my opinion,

496
00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:15,600
Speaker 1: the two guys that are most comparable to him from

497
00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:17,920
Speaker 1: the standpoint of the start to their careers, and that

498
00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:20,520
Speaker 1: would be Russell Wilson and Tom Brady. The reason why

499
00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:21,760
Speaker 1: I say that is because at the start of their

500
00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:24,840
Speaker 1: careers they would in very similar situations to Dak Prescott.

501
00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:27,840
Speaker 1: They had teams that had really good defenses, really good

502
00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:31,800
Speaker 1: or great defenses. They had really good or great running games,

503
00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:33,840
Speaker 1: and so he was just the They were just the

504
00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:36,439
Speaker 1: parts that had to not mess it up. Like just

505
00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:38,280
Speaker 1: you have a few throws you gotta make every game,

506
00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:40,439
Speaker 1: but for the most part, relying your running game, it's

507
00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:42,560
Speaker 1: okay to punt, rely on your defense to get the

508
00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:44,720
Speaker 1: ball back to you. Don't screw it. Up, make a

509
00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:46,720
Speaker 1: player two here and there, and your team's going to

510
00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:49,720
Speaker 1: be successful. And if you look at if you compare

511
00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:52,800
Speaker 1: the first three years of all three of these guys,

512
00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:56,600
Speaker 1: check this out. Daki has a better completion percentage. He

513
00:25:56,640 --> 00:25:58,960
Speaker 1: has twenty more passing yards per game than the next

514
00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:04,160
Speaker 1: closest guy. UM. He's got more game, more touchdowns per

515
00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:07,320
Speaker 1: game than than than than either of the three. I'm

516
00:26:07,320 --> 00:26:09,320
Speaker 1: sorry that actually they're about the same one point four

517
00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:12,160
Speaker 1: one point five um. And then he has fewer interceptions

518
00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:14,520
Speaker 1: than both those guys. When you start thinking about it

519
00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:17,160
Speaker 1: from that standpoint through the first three years, it sets

520
00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:19,199
Speaker 1: up really nicely for him to take that leap. In

521
00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:21,040
Speaker 1: the fourth year, which is when Russell kind of started,

522
00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:23,080
Speaker 1: you started seeing him take that leap. For Tom it

523
00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:25,360
Speaker 1: really kind of happened more in the fifth year. But

524
00:26:25,840 --> 00:26:28,000
Speaker 1: you start seeing an opportunity now for Dak to take

525
00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:30,199
Speaker 1: that next step and see if he can become with

526
00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:32,240
Speaker 1: those guys have become, because he certainly has had to

527
00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:34,840
Speaker 1: start better start than those three. Get those two guys did,

528
00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:37,119
Speaker 1: and all three of those guys, if I'm not mistaken,

529
00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:40,359
Speaker 1: I'll have something else income and they all are replacing

530
00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:45,480
Speaker 1: good quarterbacks tier two quarterbacks in NFL history. I think

531
00:26:45,520 --> 00:26:49,000
Speaker 1: you would say as Drew Bledsoe, Um, Tony, Romo, and

532
00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:52,399
Speaker 1: maybe even Matt Hasselbeck if if that's he wasn't that direct.

533
00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:56,600
Speaker 1: He didn't even replace. They didn't know what they they

534
00:26:56,600 --> 00:26:59,000
Speaker 1: had to varg got Matt Flynn, right, They didn't know

535
00:26:59,040 --> 00:27:00,800
Speaker 1: what they were doing at quarter back when he showed up,

536
00:27:00,840 --> 00:27:02,719
Speaker 1: paid him a significant amount of money. But they gave

537
00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:05,160
Speaker 1: when they gave Matt Flynn twenty million dollars. Yeah, before

538
00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:07,800
Speaker 1: a comparison standpoint, you know, that was like the last

539
00:27:07,840 --> 00:27:11,280
Speaker 1: great quarter or good quarterback that they had. Same with Romo.

540
00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:14,280
Speaker 1: You know, you're you're replacing a good player, not at all,

541
00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:16,320
Speaker 1: you know, not a Hall of Famer, but a good player.

542
00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:18,399
Speaker 1: Blood say it's not a Hall of Famer? Is he

543
00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:20,040
Speaker 1: He's not gonna be. I don't think he's just a

544
00:27:20,040 --> 00:27:23,560
Speaker 1: good player. Yeah. So, but the standards were pretty high

545
00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:27,440
Speaker 1: for those guys coming in, and they've done then they've exceeded.

546
00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:29,359
Speaker 1: I don't think you would say Dak has exceeded what

547
00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:31,360
Speaker 1: Romo has done yet, but he's getting there. And none

548
00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:33,000
Speaker 1: of them were first round picks. That's the other the

549
00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:34,960
Speaker 1: unique thing about them they were all guys that kind

550
00:27:34,960 --> 00:27:36,800
Speaker 1: of were he took a little flyer on him. You

551
00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:38,840
Speaker 1: put them on a team that had good things around them,

552
00:27:38,840 --> 00:27:41,800
Speaker 1: good running game, good offensive line, good defense, and you

553
00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:44,400
Speaker 1: just let him kind of develop into the position, didn't

554
00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:46,600
Speaker 1: give them too much too soon, and let him really develop.

555
00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:47,800
Speaker 1: I think it was you, Dave. They were saying that

556
00:27:47,840 --> 00:27:49,840
Speaker 1: in the tenth the other day, like that's a lost

557
00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:52,639
Speaker 1: start in today's NFL, putting those putting quarterbacks in those

558
00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:55,120
Speaker 1: kind of situations where they really have time to develop.

559
00:27:55,160 --> 00:27:56,800
Speaker 1: I don't know if it ever was an art like

560
00:27:56,880 --> 00:27:59,680
Speaker 1: this is such a this is such a win now,

561
00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:03,840
Speaker 1: don't make mistakes League. The conversation we had in the

562
00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:06,000
Speaker 1: tenth the other day is, and I know it wouldn't

563
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:10,679
Speaker 1: be everybody, but how many lesser talented quarterbacks would have

564
00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:13,399
Speaker 1: a chance to shine if they got the opportunity that

565
00:28:13,480 --> 00:28:15,919
Speaker 1: a Dack or a Russell Wilson got, where you know,

566
00:28:16,040 --> 00:28:18,639
Speaker 1: the starter goes down or the backup goes down, and

567
00:28:18,640 --> 00:28:20,640
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, you're actually getting snaps. Because we'll

568
00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:22,960
Speaker 1: see it over the next month, Cooper Rush and Mike

569
00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:25,760
Speaker 1: White are gonna get snaps because they need it, because

570
00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:27,000
Speaker 1: they got to figure out what to do with that.

571
00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:30,359
Speaker 1: But typically your third quarterback gets like four reps in

572
00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:33,080
Speaker 1: a period, and if you're the fourth quarterback, forget about it.

573
00:28:33,119 --> 00:28:36,040
Speaker 1: Like the kid they just sign. How many meaningful reps

574
00:28:36,080 --> 00:28:37,920
Speaker 1: is he gonna get in the next month, like maybe

575
00:28:37,960 --> 00:28:42,200
Speaker 1: a dozen. So there's just not time to develop these guys.

576
00:28:42,200 --> 00:28:44,640
Speaker 1: And you're so worried about making sure you're winning games.

577
00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:47,680
Speaker 1: Why we can't practice you. We gotta get these reps.

578
00:28:47,680 --> 00:28:49,160
Speaker 1: And now it's Dack. We gotta get these reps for

579
00:28:49,240 --> 00:28:51,280
Speaker 1: Dack if we're gonna win the super Bowl. So I

580
00:28:51,280 --> 00:28:53,400
Speaker 1: would just love to see and it'll never happen, but

581
00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:56,680
Speaker 1: I would love to see how many Day three quarterbacks

582
00:28:56,720 --> 00:29:01,080
Speaker 1: could develop into worthwhile starters if they got that time

583
00:29:01,120 --> 00:29:03,760
Speaker 1: and attention to develop. It's interesting. And the interesting thing

584
00:29:03,760 --> 00:29:05,400
Speaker 1: though there is if you're going to do that, that

585
00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:07,840
Speaker 1: means the team will have to put the right resources

586
00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:10,240
Speaker 1: in place to have a running game, to have a

587
00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:12,960
Speaker 1: defense that can allow that quarterback to develop. And that's

588
00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:14,440
Speaker 1: a hard thing to do for a lot of teams too,

589
00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:16,200
Speaker 1: because you have to kind of build that. You have

590
00:29:16,240 --> 00:29:18,040
Speaker 1: to build that the right way and then get to

591
00:29:18,080 --> 00:29:19,720
Speaker 1: the point where you plug in the quarterback and let

592
00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:22,840
Speaker 1: him kind of be just the guy that keeps everything

593
00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:26,200
Speaker 1: on the rails right. Yesterday, John Kitten had a quote

594
00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:27,640
Speaker 1: that I thought was really interesting. I wanted to read

595
00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:29,240
Speaker 1: it for you guys and get some feedback on it.

596
00:29:29,440 --> 00:29:31,200
Speaker 1: He said, the thing that I keep talking to them

597
00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:34,800
Speaker 1: he's talking about the quarterbacks about, is forget the idea

598
00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:37,440
Speaker 1: of I'm trying to complete the ball. Just cut it loose,

599
00:29:37,520 --> 00:29:39,680
Speaker 1: rip it, rip the throw. If you're good enough, or

600
00:29:39,720 --> 00:29:42,080
Speaker 1: you wouldn't be here, make your best throw, and the

601
00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:44,920
Speaker 1: completions will handle themselves. It sounds to me like what

602
00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:46,320
Speaker 1: he's really trying to get them to do is be

603
00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:49,080
Speaker 1: more confident, trust to what they're seeing, and just go

604
00:29:49,200 --> 00:29:51,240
Speaker 1: for it. How much do you think that that helps

605
00:29:51,560 --> 00:29:54,720
Speaker 1: all of these quarterbacks because I don't know that. I

606
00:29:55,320 --> 00:29:56,880
Speaker 1: don't know that I think that of Dak, that he's

607
00:29:56,920 --> 00:29:59,320
Speaker 1: a guy that's too tentative. But I do think we've

608
00:29:59,320 --> 00:30:01,320
Speaker 1: had some of those kind of criticisms of the backup

609
00:30:01,360 --> 00:30:03,239
Speaker 1: quarterbacks that they're a little too tentative, a little too

610
00:30:03,280 --> 00:30:05,360
Speaker 1: afraid to kind of just let it go. You think

611
00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:07,720
Speaker 1: in stealing that kind of confidence in them today, Hey,

612
00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:09,680
Speaker 1: if you make a mistake, make the mistake all in

613
00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:12,960
Speaker 1: rather than being too tentative. Any saw that from Dak

614
00:30:13,080 --> 00:30:16,400
Speaker 1: last year, though, I feel that last year he took

615
00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:19,360
Speaker 1: somewhat of a step back where he got a little

616
00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:23,120
Speaker 1: more hesitant and just didn't at least to me, he

617
00:30:23,400 --> 00:30:27,320
Speaker 1: just didn't feel or seemed as confident to move around

618
00:30:27,440 --> 00:30:29,760
Speaker 1: and throw the ball. It just it was taking a

619
00:30:29,840 --> 00:30:32,160
Speaker 1: little too long. And I think that's also part of

620
00:30:32,200 --> 00:30:35,960
Speaker 1: where all those fumbles came from, and just part of it.

621
00:30:36,040 --> 00:30:39,480
Speaker 1: I like hearing what Kinna said, I think this is

622
00:30:39,480 --> 00:30:42,400
Speaker 1: the perfect time of the year for him to do that,

623
00:30:42,440 --> 00:30:46,960
Speaker 1: to feel, make those mistakes, make them here, let it out.

624
00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:50,280
Speaker 1: Rip I love that. Rip it, rip it, rip it.

625
00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:53,560
Speaker 1: Let it out and you'll feel better, you know. I

626
00:30:53,960 --> 00:30:57,040
Speaker 1: took a little different approach on him holding the ball

627
00:30:57,080 --> 00:31:00,760
Speaker 1: a little longer last year for me, and maybe I

628
00:31:00,760 --> 00:31:02,080
Speaker 1: was looking at it the wrong way, but I was

629
00:31:02,120 --> 00:31:05,160
Speaker 1: thinking that was more function of him waiting for things

630
00:31:05,160 --> 00:31:07,840
Speaker 1: to happen down feel and not just getting rid of

631
00:31:07,840 --> 00:31:09,880
Speaker 1: the ball, and I think both can cause you to

632
00:31:09,880 --> 00:31:12,080
Speaker 1: hold onto the ball too long. I thought of that

633
00:31:12,120 --> 00:31:14,280
Speaker 1: more than him being hesitant. It may not be the case.

634
00:31:14,360 --> 00:31:16,160
Speaker 1: I may have just given him the benefit of the doubt.

635
00:31:16,280 --> 00:31:17,720
Speaker 1: But that's what I kind of put it on. What

636
00:31:17,760 --> 00:31:20,440
Speaker 1: did you guys think, I mean for sure, but I

637
00:31:20,520 --> 00:31:23,920
Speaker 1: definitely I agree with age like there I feel like

638
00:31:23,960 --> 00:31:26,080
Speaker 1: in Dak's mind, he's like, part of what makes me

639
00:31:26,160 --> 00:31:28,560
Speaker 1: valuable is I'm not going to lose the ball and

640
00:31:28,640 --> 00:31:32,440
Speaker 1: so if it's not an obvious throw or not, you know,

641
00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:34,840
Speaker 1: if it's not a high percentage maybe not a high

642
00:31:34,880 --> 00:31:38,320
Speaker 1: percentage completion. But thinking about the Beasley throw, the you know,

643
00:31:38,360 --> 00:31:40,560
Speaker 1: the famous the hail Mary, Like that's either going to

644
00:31:40,600 --> 00:31:43,480
Speaker 1: be a touchdown or an incompletion. You know, like, that's

645
00:31:43,560 --> 00:31:45,800
Speaker 1: no problem. It's the it's the well. If I don't

646
00:31:45,800 --> 00:31:47,640
Speaker 1: put this exactly where it needs to be, something really

647
00:31:47,680 --> 00:31:49,800
Speaker 1: bad could happen. I feel like at times maybe there

648
00:31:49,840 --> 00:31:53,480
Speaker 1: was hesitancy. Didn't trust his arm, didn't trust his arm,

649
00:31:53,480 --> 00:31:56,200
Speaker 1: didn't trust his protection, didn't trust his accuracy, whatever it is.

650
00:31:57,000 --> 00:31:59,200
Speaker 1: Whereas I think you do need to have that confidence.

651
00:31:59,240 --> 00:32:01,920
Speaker 1: But it's a tough line to ride. And to be fair,

652
00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:06,479
Speaker 1: I'll shout out people on Twitter, great quote by kitten Up.

653
00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:08,560
Speaker 1: It's fair to point out he threw one hundred and

654
00:32:08,600 --> 00:32:11,080
Speaker 1: sixty nine touchdowns on one hundred and sixty five interceptions

655
00:32:11,080 --> 00:32:15,040
Speaker 1: in his career, right, so you've got you gotta find

656
00:32:15,120 --> 00:32:18,640
Speaker 1: that balance isn't always good, No, I mean here it

657
00:32:18,720 --> 00:32:20,680
Speaker 1: is though, And actually it makes me think to last year.

658
00:32:21,120 --> 00:32:23,080
Speaker 1: You know, there were reports coming out of Kansas City

659
00:32:23,120 --> 00:32:25,560
Speaker 1: like Mahomes is throwing four and five picks of practice.

660
00:32:25,880 --> 00:32:28,720
Speaker 1: Oh my god, is he terrible? Turns out not so much.

661
00:32:28,800 --> 00:32:30,560
Speaker 1: But this is the time to let it. You know.

662
00:32:30,600 --> 00:32:32,479
Speaker 1: I'd rather you rip it and see what you can

663
00:32:32,520 --> 00:32:35,440
Speaker 1: do and develop some of those skills as opposed to well,

664
00:32:35,480 --> 00:32:37,440
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna check down because it'll look good tonight

665
00:32:37,440 --> 00:32:39,200
Speaker 1: in the film room when I were watching it, you know,

666
00:32:39,280 --> 00:32:42,120
Speaker 1: and and the all time leader and interceptions, I believe

667
00:32:42,120 --> 00:32:43,800
Speaker 1: it is bred farve. I mean, like, you know, you

668
00:32:43,880 --> 00:32:46,160
Speaker 1: have to kind of you have to to play that

669
00:32:46,200 --> 00:32:48,720
Speaker 1: way sometimes. But you know, when I think back to

670
00:32:48,760 --> 00:32:51,760
Speaker 1: like Romo when twenty and ten eleven, you know, if

671
00:32:51,800 --> 00:32:53,680
Speaker 1: he if he just let it rip every time he

672
00:32:53,720 --> 00:32:55,479
Speaker 1: was throwing the ball to Dez Bryan, I mean, who

673
00:32:55,600 --> 00:32:58,320
Speaker 1: who knew where the ball was going to be and

674
00:32:58,560 --> 00:33:00,840
Speaker 1: who was going to intercept it? You know, you have

675
00:33:00,880 --> 00:33:03,280
Speaker 1: to also trust not just your arm, you have to

676
00:33:03,320 --> 00:33:05,920
Speaker 1: trust where the guys are and where they're going to be,

677
00:33:05,920 --> 00:33:08,840
Speaker 1: because you know, you have to make sure that everybody

678
00:33:08,960 --> 00:33:11,080
Speaker 1: is on is in sync with the offense and who

679
00:33:11,080 --> 00:33:13,960
Speaker 1: you're throwing too. And I think Matt Ryan can can

680
00:33:14,040 --> 00:33:15,840
Speaker 1: let it rip when he knows hu Leo Jones is

681
00:33:16,160 --> 00:33:18,680
Speaker 1: route there, running a route or whatever, just because where

682
00:33:18,720 --> 00:33:22,720
Speaker 1: they are. That's why, you know, going back to why

683
00:33:22,760 --> 00:33:24,960
Speaker 1: why Cooper, you know, why are you here? Why aren't

684
00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:27,760
Speaker 1: you doing what? Because he knows he needs this time

685
00:33:27,880 --> 00:33:30,520
Speaker 1: right here in this offseason to get to that point

686
00:33:30,640 --> 00:33:33,680
Speaker 1: with um you know, with Dak and Gallop and those

687
00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:36,320
Speaker 1: guys as well. I think now he has all those

688
00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:39,240
Speaker 1: all the right elements for him to get to that

689
00:33:39,360 --> 00:33:41,840
Speaker 1: level where he needs to be because last year you

690
00:33:41,880 --> 00:33:44,080
Speaker 1: had all the confusion of what are you doing in

691
00:33:44,120 --> 00:33:47,080
Speaker 1: the offense, all the receivers coming in and out? You know,

692
00:33:47,120 --> 00:33:50,600
Speaker 1: it wasn't completely clear. It started becoming clear once I'm

693
00:33:50,600 --> 00:33:53,200
Speaker 1: already guy here. But I think this time of the year,

694
00:33:53,520 --> 00:33:56,760
Speaker 1: we know who those receivers are gonna be and who's

695
00:33:56,800 --> 00:34:00,280
Speaker 1: gonna be there for him. So the connection between them

696
00:34:00,400 --> 00:34:02,960
Speaker 1: is being built as of right now, and it's gonna

697
00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:05,680
Speaker 1: show once the season starts. I like that point. I

698
00:34:05,840 --> 00:34:07,880
Speaker 1: do too. All right, let's take our final break. We're

699
00:34:07,880 --> 00:34:09,719
Speaker 1: gonna come back and we're gonna play a little sea

700
00:34:09,760 --> 00:34:11,959
Speaker 1: on No miss appers going to throw that out there force.

701
00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:14,359
Speaker 1: We'll have all of that in the final segment. Join us.

702
00:34:14,360 --> 00:34:17,520
Speaker 1: We'll be right back to this dalas Cowboys dot com Radio. Well,

703
00:34:17,560 --> 00:34:20,120
Speaker 1: a player can look good on paper, it's when he's

704
00:34:20,160 --> 00:34:22,200
Speaker 1: out on the field that you really find out what

705
00:34:22,320 --> 00:34:25,319
Speaker 1: he's made of. That's why the Cowboys rely on more

706
00:34:25,360 --> 00:34:28,600
Speaker 1: than just stats and scouting reports when building their team.

707
00:34:29,080 --> 00:34:31,799
Speaker 1: When picking a tractor, it's why you should rely on

708
00:34:31,920 --> 00:34:34,480
Speaker 1: more than just specs and features. You've got to take

709
00:34:34,480 --> 00:34:37,360
Speaker 1: it out and put it to the test. The Cowboys

710
00:34:37,360 --> 00:34:41,279
Speaker 1: did when they named John Deer their official tractor experience

711
00:34:41,320 --> 00:34:44,600
Speaker 1: one for yourself. Visit my John Dear Dealer dot com.

715
00:34:54,560 --> 00:34:57,319

Speaker 1: true that even coming seven different sizes up to sixty

719

Speaker 1: in the slot than Jordan Lewis. He's he's a little

760
00:37:29,960 --> 00:37:34,520
Speaker 1: more battle tested. See I say no. I say I

761
00:37:34,560 --> 00:37:38,600
Speaker 1: think because I want it. Yeah, I think I think

762
00:37:38,600 --> 00:37:42,640
Speaker 1: he's got more talent um than Anthony Brown. He probably

763
00:37:42,680 --> 00:37:46,040
Speaker 1: has a little bit more quickness. Maybe not speed, but quickness.

764
00:37:46,719 --> 00:37:50,000
Speaker 1: And I'm gonna go with I also think my personal

765
00:37:50,040 --> 00:37:52,400
Speaker 1: belief is I think that if given the opportunity, I

766
00:37:52,440 --> 00:37:54,440
Speaker 1: think he may be a will get a few more

767
00:37:54,480 --> 00:37:58,160
Speaker 1: turnovers than Anthony Brown does. I think Anthony Brown's okay

768
00:37:58,320 --> 00:38:01,240
Speaker 1: slot corner. I think Jordan might be able to because

769
00:38:01,239 --> 00:38:02,840
Speaker 1: of his quickness. I think he might actually and I

770
00:38:02,840 --> 00:38:04,680
Speaker 1: don't think he's really gotten that opportunity, but I think

771
00:38:04,680 --> 00:38:05,799
Speaker 1: he might be able to get a little a few

772
00:38:05,800 --> 00:38:08,040
Speaker 1: more turn without trying to derail your game real quick.

773
00:38:08,080 --> 00:38:10,600
Speaker 1: I just Anthony Brown is interesting to me because like

774
00:38:10,880 --> 00:38:13,880
Speaker 1: he might be the most unappreciated player on this team.

775
00:38:14,200 --> 00:38:17,560
Speaker 1: He's a three he's a three year starter. He's definitely.

776
00:38:17,600 --> 00:38:19,800
Speaker 1: He's not a pro bowler. He's made his share of mistakes.

777
00:38:19,840 --> 00:38:22,480
Speaker 1: He's he's gotten beat as all cornerbacks do. But three

778
00:38:22,520 --> 00:38:25,600
Speaker 1: year starter, pretty good player. He's made some big plays

779
00:38:25,640 --> 00:38:28,759
Speaker 1: and like, no, just nobody, everybody wants to give his

780
00:38:28,840 --> 00:38:32,839
Speaker 1: job away or whatever. Like he's I'm interesting. I mean,

781
00:38:32,880 --> 00:38:35,239
Speaker 1: I'm interested to see he's in a contract year. Is

782
00:38:35,239 --> 00:38:37,879
Speaker 1: he worth resigning? What kind of price would it cost? Well,

783
00:38:37,920 --> 00:38:40,160
Speaker 1: I'm gonna sign like with the Jets or somebody for

784
00:38:40,239 --> 00:38:42,640
Speaker 1: like four years, twenty six million, And they'd be like

785
00:38:42,680 --> 00:38:46,040
Speaker 1: Anthony Brown, like yeah, that's what the interesting part is.

786
00:38:46,080 --> 00:38:48,360
Speaker 1: You know you got Byron coming up, So do you

787
00:38:48,400 --> 00:38:50,799
Speaker 1: allow Anthony Brown to also get away? If you can

788
00:38:50,800 --> 00:38:53,279
Speaker 1: get him for a modest deal, which I think you

789
00:38:53,360 --> 00:38:54,799
Speaker 1: might be able to get him for money. That's why

790
00:38:54,880 --> 00:38:58,280
Speaker 1: you hope, like hell, that Mike Jackson or Donovan Alumba

791
00:38:58,360 --> 00:39:00,600
Speaker 1: or somebody kind of catches your eye the next month

792
00:39:00,640 --> 00:39:03,440
Speaker 1: to give you that leverage that maybe you don't need

793
00:39:03,480 --> 00:39:06,640
Speaker 1: to sign that deal. Yeah, is this the most talented

794
00:39:06,800 --> 00:39:12,279
Speaker 1: Cowboys roster in the two thousands? Yes, okay, see two

795
00:39:12,280 --> 00:39:16,040
Speaker 1: thousand and one. Man, I don't know. In the two thousands,

796
00:39:16,080 --> 00:39:18,400
Speaker 1: two thousand and one since two thousand that was that

797
00:39:18,480 --> 00:39:21,279
Speaker 1: was my guy, Brian. I wasn't here. I wasn't here

798
00:39:21,280 --> 00:39:23,920
Speaker 1: for two thousand and seven, y'all were. But this is

799
00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:28,360
Speaker 1: easily the most talented roster that I have covered. Yeah,

800
00:39:28,400 --> 00:39:30,840
Speaker 1: this this team. I mean, I know that two thousand

801
00:39:30,840 --> 00:39:34,800
Speaker 1: and seventeen maybe had thirteen Pro Bowlers, but I don't

802
00:39:34,840 --> 00:39:39,160
Speaker 1: thirteen wins. Yeah, I think I think this team is

803
00:39:39,239 --> 00:39:43,320
Speaker 1: better even. I mean, you know, we love to mythologize

804
00:39:43,320 --> 00:39:45,279
Speaker 1: fourteen because of the run that they were on at

805
00:39:45,320 --> 00:39:48,040
Speaker 1: the end, but like they didn't have a pass rush.

806
00:39:48,080 --> 00:39:51,120
Speaker 1: Their best defensive back was you know, probably Brandon Carr,

807
00:39:51,200 --> 00:39:54,080
Speaker 1: who I love, but you know, wasn't wasn't a you know,

808
00:39:54,120 --> 00:39:59,280
Speaker 1: this amazing guy talent whearing Greg Ellis and Robert Quinn,

809
00:39:59,600 --> 00:40:02,600
Speaker 1: and I would still take where Greg Gillis as the

810
00:40:02,640 --> 00:40:05,800
Speaker 1: better duo as pass rushers at that at that stage

811
00:40:05,800 --> 00:40:07,640
Speaker 1: when they were together, Greg Ellis was at that point

812
00:40:07,680 --> 00:40:09,600
Speaker 1: in his career when he was really, really, really good.

813
00:40:10,520 --> 00:40:12,719
Speaker 1: That the linebacker is much better. I think your best

814
00:40:12,760 --> 00:40:15,839
Speaker 1: cornerback may be better, right, So you start looking at

815
00:40:15,840 --> 00:40:18,560
Speaker 1: the positions that really matter, and I think you could

816
00:40:18,560 --> 00:40:20,839
Speaker 1: probably make the argument that you have better players at

817
00:40:20,840 --> 00:40:23,440
Speaker 1: those positions in a running game. So if you're saying

818
00:40:23,480 --> 00:40:26,120
Speaker 1: this is their best roster in the two thousands, that

819
00:40:26,160 --> 00:40:28,320
Speaker 1: means this is their best roster since they won the

820
00:40:28,360 --> 00:40:30,400
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. Is that what we're saying right now? Okay,

821
00:40:30,680 --> 00:40:32,319
Speaker 1: I'm good with that, all right, I'm good with it that.

822
00:40:32,440 --> 00:40:35,440
Speaker 1: If they're not, it's a very very very very small margin.

823
00:40:35,480 --> 00:40:37,600
Speaker 1: But I think they're definitely are right up there with

824
00:40:37,719 --> 00:40:40,359
Speaker 1: the best the Cowboys I've ever had. I agree with you,

825
00:40:40,440 --> 00:40:43,279
Speaker 1: and I'm not surprised, but like it to say it

826
00:40:43,280 --> 00:40:48,319
Speaker 1: out loud, is that's a trip that sits crazy expectations.

827
00:40:48,320 --> 00:40:51,680
Speaker 1: Like you guys mentioned yesterday, it's a sky high it's exciting.

828
00:40:51,719 --> 00:40:54,160
Speaker 1: But I've you know, this is my seventh season, and

829
00:40:54,440 --> 00:40:57,239
Speaker 1: every time the expectations are up high, that's when the

830
00:40:57,440 --> 00:41:01,440
Speaker 1: s hits the fans. So we'll see, Please think positive. Okay,

831
00:41:01,560 --> 00:41:05,359
Speaker 1: you know me, that's not what I does he make

832
00:41:05,360 --> 00:41:07,880
Speaker 1: the fifty three c or no, he had an arrest

833
00:41:07,960 --> 00:41:12,319
Speaker 1: day yesterday, by the way, he did. I think I

834
00:41:12,360 --> 00:41:16,719
Speaker 1: think he does make the fifty three because you know,

835
00:41:16,920 --> 00:41:20,040
Speaker 1: you can't coach speed, which I'm interested though, and you

836
00:41:20,080 --> 00:41:22,120
Speaker 1: don't want to read too much into unpadded practices. But

837
00:41:22,160 --> 00:41:24,360
Speaker 1: they didn't have him returning punts the other day, and

838
00:41:24,400 --> 00:41:26,160
Speaker 1: I was like, if if you're not returning punts, what

839
00:41:26,239 --> 00:41:28,560
Speaker 1: are you doing right? Because we got three guys that

840
00:41:28,600 --> 00:41:31,760
Speaker 1: can handle the three receiver spots, you know, no offense.

841
00:41:31,800 --> 00:41:34,040
Speaker 1: He's not like this acclaimed route runner or like the

842
00:41:34,160 --> 00:41:36,200
Speaker 1: you know, he's not this amazing receiver. He's more of

843
00:41:36,200 --> 00:41:39,160
Speaker 1: a gadget web guy. But if he's not, you know,

844
00:41:39,160 --> 00:41:41,560
Speaker 1: if he's not contributing heavily on special teams, well we

845
00:41:41,640 --> 00:41:43,160
Speaker 1: have enough of a role on he ain't running down

846
00:41:43,160 --> 00:41:44,880
Speaker 1: with it. Yeah, he ain't running down to make tackles

847
00:41:44,880 --> 00:41:47,359
Speaker 1: on special I don't think so right. If that's the case,

848
00:41:47,400 --> 00:41:49,680
Speaker 1: If he's not back the returning punts, I have a

849
00:41:49,719 --> 00:41:51,680
Speaker 1: hard time thinking he makes it. So I'm kind of

850
00:41:51,760 --> 00:41:54,239
Speaker 1: leaning to Wood right now. I'm having a hard time

851
00:41:54,280 --> 00:41:55,960
Speaker 1: figure out how he makes this team. I don't think

852
00:41:55,960 --> 00:41:58,440
Speaker 1: he person I'm putting him on the team, but I'm

853
00:41:58,440 --> 00:42:01,239
Speaker 1: writing it in pencil, and that's gonna be. I had

854
00:42:01,239 --> 00:42:04,240
Speaker 1: a really I was so I knew what the receiver

855
00:42:04,320 --> 00:42:06,160
Speaker 1: corps looked like. I mean you, I'll admit it right now.

856
00:42:06,200 --> 00:42:08,840
Speaker 1: I thought Alan Hearns was on this team. I you know,

857
00:42:08,880 --> 00:42:11,560
Speaker 1: he can play all three positions. He's a good attitude guy,

858
00:42:11,600 --> 00:42:14,160
Speaker 1: he can do the dir dirty work. He moves on.

859
00:42:14,280 --> 00:42:17,760
Speaker 1: And now it's chaos because you had four. If Hearns

860
00:42:17,800 --> 00:42:19,399
Speaker 1: was on the team, you had four, so it's only

861
00:42:19,440 --> 00:42:22,439
Speaker 1: one maybe two roster spots. Now you got three. And

862
00:42:22,760 --> 00:42:24,799
Speaker 1: we just said we don't really know what Tavon would

863
00:42:24,840 --> 00:42:27,399
Speaker 1: do here. So what's I mean that you know, Noah Brown,

864
00:42:27,440 --> 00:42:31,439
Speaker 1: Cedric Wilson, John Vay, Jalen Guiden. I mean, it's it's

865
00:42:31,480 --> 00:42:34,360
Speaker 1: total anarchy back there. I don't know what to expect. Yeah,

866
00:42:34,640 --> 00:42:37,520
Speaker 1: all right, does Connor McGovern have the size and strength

867
00:42:37,719 --> 00:42:45,800
Speaker 1: to start Wake one? If necessary? What does if necessary mean? Well, like, yeah, see,

868
00:42:45,840 --> 00:42:47,839
Speaker 1: I mean if he has to see because he's gonna

869
00:42:47,880 --> 00:42:49,959
Speaker 1: be on the team. I mean, if you know, knock

870
00:42:49,960 --> 00:42:52,960
Speaker 1: on wood, if somebody's not available. Well, but when you

871
00:42:52,960 --> 00:42:55,680
Speaker 1: start talking about things like size and strength with the threes,

872
00:42:55,880 --> 00:42:57,640
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know if I can. I've

873
00:42:57,640 --> 00:42:59,560
Speaker 1: seen enough to be able to answer that question. I

874
00:42:59,600 --> 00:43:02,520
Speaker 1: mean what we what we found out about Connor Williams

875
00:43:02,560 --> 00:43:04,640
Speaker 1: last year was we thought, Okay, this guy's gonna be

876
00:43:04,680 --> 00:43:06,799
Speaker 1: pretty good. And then he got out here and you

877
00:43:06,880 --> 00:43:09,719
Speaker 1: actually got pads on and he's having to kind of

878
00:43:09,719 --> 00:43:12,640
Speaker 1: show his strength and how he uses his size. Then

879
00:43:12,640 --> 00:43:14,279
Speaker 1: we found out, hey, he's gonna have to bulk up

880
00:43:14,320 --> 00:43:16,160
Speaker 1: a bit. I think that's what I have to see

881
00:43:16,200 --> 00:43:18,359
Speaker 1: from from from a government. I haven't seen that yet.

882
00:43:18,360 --> 00:43:21,720
Speaker 1: I'm I'm anxious to see that today in those drills,

883
00:43:21,280 --> 00:43:23,760
Speaker 1: the ones. I want to see him mcgoverned more than anybody.

884
00:43:23,800 --> 00:43:26,160
Speaker 1: But we were looking at yesterday, we were thinking, man,

885
00:43:26,200 --> 00:43:29,359
Speaker 1: look at the backup lineman. There's some good players over there.

886
00:43:29,560 --> 00:43:32,000
Speaker 1: You know, Can Fleming has started in a Super Bowl.

887
00:43:32,239 --> 00:43:35,279
Speaker 1: Joe Looney is started a lot of games for the Cowboys.

888
00:43:35,440 --> 00:43:39,080
Speaker 1: You've got Umil to a Filo who started some games

889
00:43:39,080 --> 00:43:41,120
Speaker 1: and he and I still think he's really good. And

890
00:43:41,160 --> 00:43:45,360
Speaker 1: then which Wenchman was the other guard, which I was

891
00:43:45,440 --> 00:43:47,520
Speaker 1: kind of surprised it wasn't McGovern right there. A lot

892
00:43:47,520 --> 00:43:49,480
Speaker 1: of stuff would have to go wrong for that to happen,

893
00:43:49,560 --> 00:43:52,360
Speaker 1: because if something were to happen to Travis or a guard,

894
00:43:52,440 --> 00:43:54,719
Speaker 1: then Looney would be the next man up. I think

895
00:43:54,960 --> 00:43:59,600
Speaker 1: so at guard too. Yeah, okay, for sure, Well I

896
00:43:59,600 --> 00:44:03,680
Speaker 1: don't know. That's fascinating because either either a very talented

897
00:44:03,719 --> 00:44:05,400
Speaker 1: lineman is going to be on the street when this

898
00:44:05,480 --> 00:44:08,080
Speaker 1: is all over, or we're gonna see some roster cut

899
00:44:08,120 --> 00:44:11,799
Speaker 1: trades because there's just too many bodies and not enough nine. Right,

900
00:44:12,320 --> 00:44:15,120
Speaker 1: but even if you keep nine, you're probably putting somebody

901
00:44:15,160 --> 00:44:17,439
Speaker 1: good out of a job. Most likely to keep nine.

902
00:44:18,000 --> 00:44:22,359
Speaker 1: Nine's fine with me? Who are they? You got your starters,

903
00:44:22,480 --> 00:44:24,800
Speaker 1: You got your starters, you got Cam, you got Joe,

904
00:44:24,920 --> 00:44:27,640
Speaker 1: you got mcgoverned, right, I mean those and you're nine

905
00:44:27,680 --> 00:44:31,359
Speaker 1: the suaphilo? Right, isn't I had this argument yesterday. Isn't

906
00:44:31,400 --> 00:44:33,560
Speaker 1: that a lot of interior linement? If you're gonna keep nine,

907
00:44:33,600 --> 00:44:37,040
Speaker 1: don't you want another tackle? I mean that that's nice.

908
00:44:37,120 --> 00:44:41,000
Speaker 1: But yeah, that's probably although but having and I'm a

909
00:44:41,000 --> 00:44:42,840
Speaker 1: little more worried about. Okay, so are we sure that

910
00:44:42,880 --> 00:44:44,960
Speaker 1: Travis's gonna be right? And that's where I say it's

911
00:44:44,960 --> 00:44:48,960
Speaker 1: okay to have a say in Mitch hy Mitch High

912
00:44:49,120 --> 00:44:50,719
Speaker 1: is a guy to watch. Brandon Knight is a guy

913
00:44:50,760 --> 00:44:54,000
Speaker 1: to watch. They're very talented rookie offensive tackles that signed undrafted.

914
00:44:54,040 --> 00:44:56,399
Speaker 1: They were you know, they're highatt was all American Night,

915
00:44:56,600 --> 00:45:00,959
Speaker 1: was all conference worth watching. But let's say they don't

916
00:45:01,000 --> 00:45:04,920
Speaker 1: turn out to be anything super great. There's I mean,

917
00:45:04,960 --> 00:45:07,480
Speaker 1: I'm not getting rid of a very good, experienced guard

918
00:45:07,520 --> 00:45:10,279
Speaker 1: just because like conventional roster building says, you should, like

919
00:45:10,360 --> 00:45:13,160
Speaker 1: why take away from a position of strength. But if

920
00:45:13,160 --> 00:45:16,120
Speaker 1: I could get something for him, I got now we're talking,

921
00:45:16,480 --> 00:45:18,960
Speaker 1: I got you now. This one is gonna be hard

922
00:45:19,000 --> 00:45:22,160
Speaker 1: to answer. And speaking of the offensive line, Travis Frederick,

923
00:45:22,800 --> 00:45:27,280
Speaker 1: does he go back to that Pro Bowl caliber status

924
00:45:27,360 --> 00:45:34,680
Speaker 1: this year? CEO? No? See. I say no only because

925
00:45:35,440 --> 00:45:37,520
Speaker 1: the only person I've heard talk about this from a

926
00:45:38,040 --> 00:45:43,640
Speaker 1: from a point of experience, another offensive lineman said that

927
00:45:44,120 --> 00:45:46,080
Speaker 1: for him when he went through that and missed an

928
00:45:46,160 --> 00:45:48,160
Speaker 1: entire season, it took him two years to get back

929
00:45:48,160 --> 00:45:52,240
Speaker 1: to his previous form. Now again, Travis may be completely different.

930
00:45:52,280 --> 00:45:54,239
Speaker 1: His injury may I mean is is condition may be

931
00:45:54,320 --> 00:45:57,520
Speaker 1: completely different. You know, obviously there are levels to every condition, right,

932
00:45:57,560 --> 00:45:59,439
Speaker 1: so but I just want to see it. I don't

933
00:45:59,440 --> 00:46:01,839
Speaker 1: know if I trust that he'll be back to being

934
00:46:01,840 --> 00:46:03,480
Speaker 1: what he was before. That doesn't mean he might not

935
00:46:03,600 --> 00:46:05,560
Speaker 1: be really good. He I don't know if I'll trust

936
00:46:05,560 --> 00:46:08,640
Speaker 1: he'll be back to what he was before in the

937
00:46:08,680 --> 00:46:11,359
Speaker 1: first year coming right back after this, because we all know,

938
00:46:11,520 --> 00:46:14,319
Speaker 1: watching him last year, it was pretty you could know.

939
00:46:14,440 --> 00:46:17,680
Speaker 1: You noticeably saw he was limping. You noticedly saw he

940
00:46:17,800 --> 00:46:19,560
Speaker 1: lost a lot of weight, so there had to be

941
00:46:19,600 --> 00:46:21,360
Speaker 1: some strength that was lost with that as well. So

942
00:46:21,400 --> 00:46:23,080
Speaker 1: I just want to see it. But I'm curious to

943
00:46:23,120 --> 00:46:26,160
Speaker 1: see is if, even if he isn't regained the form,

944
00:46:26,600 --> 00:46:29,400
Speaker 1: where is he going to be better than Looney? Like,

945
00:46:29,560 --> 00:46:32,319
Speaker 1: where's the where's the difference in how you know all

946
00:46:32,360 --> 00:46:34,880
Speaker 1: pro level and what Looney gave you last year? Is

947
00:46:34,920 --> 00:46:37,000
Speaker 1: he in between? Because if he comes back, it's not

948
00:46:37,080 --> 00:46:39,080
Speaker 1: the same, It's really not better than Looney than to

949
00:46:39,160 --> 00:46:41,800
Speaker 1: kind of have a problem. Well you do have a problem,

950
00:46:42,120 --> 00:46:45,560
Speaker 1: but you know, I think I think, let's not forget

951
00:46:46,320 --> 00:46:48,759
Speaker 1: Dak was sacked more times than he ever ever was

952
00:46:48,840 --> 00:46:52,320
Speaker 1: before last year, So I think I think what Travis

953
00:46:52,360 --> 00:46:53,640
Speaker 1: is going to give you is a little bit more

954
00:46:53,680 --> 00:46:57,360
Speaker 1: from a recognition standpoint of where these guys are supposed

955
00:46:57,400 --> 00:46:59,400
Speaker 1: to be. Just hopefully, you know, he can hold up.

956
00:46:59,440 --> 00:47:01,279
Speaker 1: But we'll find out here in the next few weeks.

957
00:47:01,280 --> 00:47:03,800
Speaker 1: I would imagine there's just a small group of guys

958
00:47:03,800 --> 00:47:05,839
Speaker 1: that I don't bet against, and Travis is one of them.

959
00:47:05,960 --> 00:47:08,200
Speaker 1: He's been I mean we're at the Star every day.

960
00:47:08,360 --> 00:47:11,480
Speaker 1: He's been working since February to get back. There'll probably

961
00:47:11,480 --> 00:47:13,560
Speaker 1: be some growing pains. Maybe he won't hit the level

962
00:47:13,600 --> 00:47:15,960
Speaker 1: that he was, but even if he's slightly less than that,

963
00:47:16,080 --> 00:47:18,759
Speaker 1: it'll be pretty damn good. I feel confident about that.

964
00:47:19,000 --> 00:47:22,239
Speaker 1: You know something that I've noticed because I'm working on

965
00:47:22,280 --> 00:47:24,560
Speaker 1: this project, I'm having to look through a lot of

966
00:47:24,560 --> 00:47:27,920
Speaker 1: old line footage and watch a lot of different practices

967
00:47:27,960 --> 00:47:31,000
Speaker 1: and stuff. One of the things I've noticed that it

968
00:47:31,040 --> 00:47:35,120
Speaker 1: was kind of cool. Travis was always the one person

969
00:47:35,160 --> 00:47:37,560
Speaker 1: and the only person that even if there was nobody

970
00:47:37,560 --> 00:47:39,719
Speaker 1: in front of him, he would still go through the

971
00:47:39,840 --> 00:47:42,279
Speaker 1: motions and put his hands where they needed to be

972
00:47:42,320 --> 00:47:44,200
Speaker 1: and it was just air and he would just go

973
00:47:44,320 --> 00:47:46,839
Speaker 1: through all of that. And I'm like, that's amazing. I mean,

974
00:47:46,960 --> 00:47:50,200
Speaker 1: that's the kind of things that takes you maybe to

975
00:47:50,280 --> 00:47:53,919
Speaker 1: that next step and that next level, to where you're

976
00:47:53,960 --> 00:47:56,600
Speaker 1: going above and beyond, to what you can do to

977
00:47:56,760 --> 00:47:58,879
Speaker 1: get there. I don't know. It was just something cool

978
00:47:58,920 --> 00:48:01,360
Speaker 1: to see. And I think we're out of time. I

979
00:48:01,360 --> 00:48:03,200
Speaker 1: guess I think we are. Unless you have a few

980
00:48:03,200 --> 00:48:06,120
Speaker 1: more questions. If you want tell you what, let's take

981
00:48:06,160 --> 00:48:08,160
Speaker 1: one more take one more. All right, Well, we've been

982
00:48:08,200 --> 00:48:12,080
Speaker 1: talking about contract extensions and all that the Cowboys extend

983
00:48:12,120 --> 00:48:16,120
Speaker 1: all Big three and stay competitive. See No, see, they're

984
00:48:16,120 --> 00:48:19,200
Speaker 1: gonna extend all three. See see. And I would even

985
00:48:19,400 --> 00:48:23,600
Speaker 1: I'd be willing to bet, be willing to best significant money,

986
00:48:24,040 --> 00:48:27,040
Speaker 1: decently significant money, that it gets done before training camp

987
00:48:27,120 --> 00:48:30,200
Speaker 1: is done all three. You'd be willing to make that bet.

988
00:48:30,239 --> 00:48:32,640
Speaker 1: I'd be willing to give me some money. Let's have

989
00:48:32,640 --> 00:48:34,680
Speaker 1: a conversation. I mean, I said yesterday I thought they

990
00:48:34,680 --> 00:48:38,239
Speaker 1: would too, But I have a feeling, I have a

991
00:48:38,239 --> 00:48:40,640
Speaker 1: feeling that that they already know what they want to do.

992
00:48:40,880 --> 00:48:42,600
Speaker 1: The only way it doesn't get done, in my opinion,

993
00:48:42,600 --> 00:48:44,480
Speaker 1: the only way it doesn't get done is if the

994
00:48:44,520 --> 00:48:46,879
Speaker 1: player doesn't want it to get done, which I could

995
00:48:46,880 --> 00:48:49,480
Speaker 1: see a scenario where Mari's like, look, I'm holding I

996
00:48:49,560 --> 00:48:51,200
Speaker 1: just want to see where all this plays out. I'm

997
00:48:51,239 --> 00:48:53,640
Speaker 1: not ready to sign anything, Mari. I mean, if if

998
00:48:53,719 --> 00:48:55,919
Speaker 1: I was the Cowboys, it'd be like cool, like you're

999
00:48:56,200 --> 00:48:58,479
Speaker 1: you're fine waiting, then we'll wait on you right where?

1000
00:48:58,560 --> 00:49:02,040
Speaker 1: And then Dak didn't want to answer it. Dak did

1001
00:49:02,080 --> 00:49:04,520
Speaker 1: not want to answer whether he would table these conversations,

1002
00:49:04,520 --> 00:49:06,399
Speaker 1: whether when the season started. So I want to see

1003
00:49:06,440 --> 00:49:09,520
Speaker 1: And that's that's what scares me is we all just

1004
00:49:09,560 --> 00:49:11,080
Speaker 1: said it, we all just gave him a big vote

1005
00:49:11,120 --> 00:49:13,520
Speaker 1: of confidence. And if he's going to be more expensive

1006
00:49:13,560 --> 00:49:16,520
Speaker 1: in January, I mean if this season, Yes, if this

1007
00:49:16,600 --> 00:49:19,080
Speaker 1: season even goes remotely according to plan, he's going to

1008
00:49:19,120 --> 00:49:22,160
Speaker 1: be more expensive. Yes, I think I think it will acquire.

1009
00:49:22,400 --> 00:49:27,000
Speaker 1: David will, thank Squire, it will any shout out Cover

1010
00:49:27,080 --> 00:49:29,360
Speaker 1: four know why he had to deliver that while I

1011
00:49:29,400 --> 00:49:32,319
Speaker 1: was on the air. But it will require it will

1012
00:49:32,440 --> 00:49:35,640
Speaker 1: require him having to have I think a super Bowl

1013
00:49:35,719 --> 00:49:38,640
Speaker 1: year in order for it to be terribly more expensive

1014
00:49:38,680 --> 00:49:41,040
Speaker 1: than what it is already. It's it's already all those

1015
00:49:41,120 --> 00:49:43,279
Speaker 1: numbers I just threw to you. Guess what, his agent

1016
00:49:43,320 --> 00:49:45,439
Speaker 1: has already thrown those to the Cowboys and they're like, look,

1017
00:49:45,480 --> 00:49:48,800
Speaker 1: you're sitting on a guy that historically is one of

1018
00:49:48,840 --> 00:49:52,120
Speaker 1: the best quarterbacks in their first three years in the NFL.

1019
00:49:52,239 --> 00:49:54,799
Speaker 1: So they've already thrown those numbers there. I don't think

1020
00:49:54,800 --> 00:49:57,000
Speaker 1: that changes by him having a really good year this year,

1021
00:49:57,280 --> 00:49:59,239
Speaker 1: even getting into playoffs and playing if he gets a

1022
00:49:59,280 --> 00:50:02,200
Speaker 1: super Bowl now becomes at flackall situation outside of that

1023
00:50:02,239 --> 00:50:04,400
Speaker 1: though I think he's already going to command a significant

1024
00:50:04,400 --> 00:50:06,759
Speaker 1: amount of money. We'll see. I think I think the

1025
00:50:06,800 --> 00:50:09,040
Speaker 1: price goes up if he has another good season. Maybe

1026
00:50:09,040 --> 00:50:10,879
Speaker 1: not by a lot, but that's I mean, every little

1027
00:50:10,880 --> 00:50:13,319
Speaker 1: bit accounts. Yeah, all right, we appreciate you guys joining us.
