Anyways, 12 00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:51,440 Speaker 1: we're here to talk to some Cowboys. We're gonna talk 13 00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:55,320 Speaker 1: about some of the guys were or weren't at practice today. 14 00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:59,920 Speaker 1: We'll get into the Tennessee defense and how that matchups 15 00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:03,800 Speaker 1: matches up with the Cowboys offense. But before we get 16 00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:07,600 Speaker 1: into that, obviously, the news of the changes in the 17 00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:13,000 Speaker 1: offensive line coach happened. Everyone knows about it, but yesterday 18 00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:15,160 Speaker 1: we did get to hear a few of the starters 19 00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:18,720 Speaker 1: discuss what this means for the team. And for them 20 00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:22,160 Speaker 1: seeing this change. So I wanted to I know, you 21 00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:26,160 Speaker 1: guys who was the one who wrote the story, with 22 00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:29,680 Speaker 1: an assist from my esteemed colleagues who helped. So you 23 00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:33,319 Speaker 1: heard things from Lyle Collins, Terren Smith, and Zack Martin 24 00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:38,600 Speaker 1: different opinions. It sounds like everyone had a somewhat of 25 00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:43,600 Speaker 1: a different take to it. Yeah, that's fair. It was different. Yeah, 26 00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:50,480 Speaker 1: I mean because you got Lyle Collins saying, yeah, it's everybody, 27 00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:53,880 Speaker 1: everybody across the board. You feel responsible, Yeah, of course, 28 00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:55,320 Speaker 1: you know, we all have played a part in this. 29 00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:57,440 Speaker 1: And Zach Martin, I think I wasn't in that, but 30 00:01:57,480 --> 00:02:00,720 Speaker 1: I think he said similar the great politicians Martin. Yes, 31 00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:03,280 Speaker 1: Tyrn Smith, do you feel responsible for this? No, not 32 00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:05,520 Speaker 1: at all. I don't all that's just the way it happens. 33 00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:08,000 Speaker 1: Is no one's fault. Um, it's just it's just the 34 00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:12,200 Speaker 1: way it goes a little surprised by that, actually, but um, 35 00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:16,480 Speaker 1: you know that this was not a good marriage there 36 00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:20,280 Speaker 1: at all, between this this Paul Alexander and all his 37 00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:23,280 Speaker 1: experience and coaching this Cowboys offensive line and all their 38 00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:25,920 Speaker 1: experience and accolades, it just wasn't a good fit. And 39 00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:28,040 Speaker 1: they saw that and they said we gotta we gotta change. 40 00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:31,240 Speaker 1: You can't change the line, you can change him. Yeah, 41 00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:34,359 Speaker 1: and that I mean speaking of line, kind of reading 42 00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:37,000 Speaker 1: between lines when you talk to those guys, Like Lyle 43 00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:39,840 Speaker 1: Collins was like, I don't think it's gonna be too different, 44 00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:42,360 Speaker 1: but we're gonna get back to what we used to do, 45 00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:48,840 Speaker 1: like a right, okay, And that's exactly Tyrn Smith is like, 46 00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:51,280 Speaker 1: they're like, well, what do you think needs to be better? 47 00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:52,680 Speaker 1: And he's like, I just need to work on my 48 00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:56,640 Speaker 1: technique and that's it and that's it. Yeah. Um, well 49 00:02:56,800 --> 00:03:00,160 Speaker 1: the technique was the difference between the last coach the 50 00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:03,079 Speaker 1: new coach. So he mean maybe going back to what 51 00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:06,680 Speaker 1: he was doing yes last year, Yes, exactly what he meant. 52 00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:09,880 Speaker 1: Okay now too, like it doesn't matter who the coach is, 53 00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:12,200 Speaker 1: I'm just gonna keep doing my thing. Well, I just 54 00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:14,960 Speaker 1: I don't think. I don't think these guys took to 55 00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:17,040 Speaker 1: Paul Alexander and they're not going to come out and 56 00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:18,840 Speaker 1: say that, and they shouldn't come out and say that. 57 00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:21,680 Speaker 1: But it just yeah, Nick's right, it just doesn't. It 58 00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:23,840 Speaker 1: didn't seem like it was a great relationship from the 59 00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:27,880 Speaker 1: get I will say excuse me. Um. I thought what 60 00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:31,720 Speaker 1: was really interesting is all of these guys call Mark 61 00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:35,520 Speaker 1: Colombo Colombo like that, Like it sounded like they were 62 00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:39,320 Speaker 1: talking about their bro you know, like uh, um, Lyle 63 00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:42,360 Speaker 1: Collins called Paul Alexander coach Paul and then he's like, yeah, 64 00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:44,480 Speaker 1: but you know Colombo like he's been in the huddle 65 00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:46,760 Speaker 1: before he gets it. And I was just like, you 66 00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:48,840 Speaker 1: guys sound like you're talking about your bro, because like 67 00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:51,360 Speaker 1: that's my my bros call me hellman, you know, like 68 00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:54,120 Speaker 1: that's a dude thing. And uh So I think I 69 00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:56,080 Speaker 1: think there is a chemistry there. I think they really 70 00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:58,240 Speaker 1: like him and want to play for that. That can 71 00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:00,440 Speaker 1: be good and bad. You know, it can be for sure, 72 00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:02,600 Speaker 1: because now you know he's the coach. He's not just 73 00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:05,560 Speaker 1: kind of like I'm the GA assistant. You know, I 74 00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:08,560 Speaker 1: I'll talk to Paul, guys, I'll talk about you. No, 75 00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:12,560 Speaker 1: now you're the guy, right, and so that I there. 76 00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:14,600 Speaker 1: You know, there could be some good there, there could 77 00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:17,400 Speaker 1: be some bad. We'll see how how Mark handles that. 78 00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:19,680 Speaker 1: I mean a lot more responsibility. We were kind of 79 00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:23,279 Speaker 1: talking to some people yesterday about that, and they you know, 80 00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:25,080 Speaker 1: basically said, you know, he needs to kind of calm 81 00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:28,240 Speaker 1: down a little bit. You know, he's that he's that fiery, 82 00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:31,039 Speaker 1: get back coach type of guy. Even though he's up 83 00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:32,960 Speaker 1: in the booth, which he's not anymore, he'll be down 84 00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:35,280 Speaker 1: on the field and he needs to kind of to 85 00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:37,840 Speaker 1: be able to handle some some issues. So this is 86 00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:39,680 Speaker 1: gonna be a good opportunity for him. And this is 87 00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:42,120 Speaker 1: what coaches, This is why they grind, they spend all 88 00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:43,839 Speaker 1: those hours so they can be a position coach. This 89 00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:46,080 Speaker 1: is a great opportunity for him. That's what Tyron Smith 90 00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:48,040 Speaker 1: said too. He was like, this is a huge opportunity 91 00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:50,400 Speaker 1: for Colombo to get this thing moving in the right direction, 92 00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:52,440 Speaker 1: and you know, who knows what it could mean for 93 00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:55,279 Speaker 1: him in the future. So and hopefully it does work out, 94 00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:59,600 Speaker 1: because then you got a real problem there, because who 95 00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:02,200 Speaker 1: do you only fingers to the players now, right? I 96 00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:06,040 Speaker 1: would assume well, I mean, if it doesn't work out 97 00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:07,600 Speaker 1: with him, if they if they don't get right right, 98 00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:10,680 Speaker 1: if you don't see any type of improvement there, I 99 00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:13,960 Speaker 1: think I think though you would. That's more so the 100 00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:16,840 Speaker 1: case with like the Marii Cooper trade, because it's like 101 00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:20,880 Speaker 1: this guy is considered a really great wide receiver and 102 00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:22,520 Speaker 1: if it doesn't work out, then what's the issue. But 103 00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:25,400 Speaker 1: if it doesn't work out offensive line, they're like, Okay, 104 00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:28,400 Speaker 1: we need to get a veteran coach maybe just because 105 00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:31,160 Speaker 1: then again, you've seen those guys have success, yeah, in 106 00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:33,600 Speaker 1: the past. I mean if you have to look at 107 00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:35,320 Speaker 1: the players too, though, I mean, if it doesn't get 108 00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:38,280 Speaker 1: any better, it makes you wonder. I mean, it makes 109 00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:40,520 Speaker 1: you wonder about your tackles for sure, maybe not to 110 00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:43,560 Speaker 1: the point that it's like this insane need, but you know, 111 00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:46,279 Speaker 1: this team hasn't been worried about offensive tackle and yeah 112 00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:50,000 Speaker 1: a long time. So yeah, we'll see. Well, now, I 113 00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:52,480 Speaker 1: didn't want to bring this up because I think it's stupid, 114 00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:56,000 Speaker 1: but then someone told me to about Okay, Jason Garrett 115 00:05:56,040 --> 00:06:02,039 Speaker 1: and the World Series. Why well, I mean yeah, why oh, 116 00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:03,919 Speaker 1: I mean I don't know. I mean I think that 117 00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:06,919 Speaker 1: I mean, he I'm at what. Yeah, he got to 118 00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:08,560 Speaker 1: talk about it for the first time. He got asked 119 00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:10,480 Speaker 1: a lot of questions about it, you know, and then 120 00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:15,120 Speaker 1: he got asked about that, Yeah, something that happened, he said, 121 00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:19,039 Speaker 1: I mean, he he, I mean, he's I think I 122 00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:21,280 Speaker 1: timed him like his answer was like three minutes long, 123 00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:23,800 Speaker 1: just talking about that's what you do on them by 124 00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:27,080 Speaker 1: week like that's yeah, you take time away, try to recharge, 125 00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:30,320 Speaker 1: get away from the game. Uh, relax a little bit, 126 00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:32,760 Speaker 1: refocus yourself and think. You know, he had this whole 127 00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:34,560 Speaker 1: spiel about like beach guys should go to the beach 128 00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:36,919 Speaker 1: and mountain guys should go to the mountains. I was like, oh, damn, okay, 129 00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:39,919 Speaker 1: well you're guys. You're a baseball guy. I guess sure, 130 00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:43,720 Speaker 1: go to the game. I let's say that. What I'm 131 00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:45,919 Speaker 1: just saying, don't don't say that. Then that sounds like 132 00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:47,960 Speaker 1: baseball guys should go to the baseball game. I mean 133 00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:52,400 Speaker 1: baseball fans. I guess, yeah, that's fine. He's got basically, 134 00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:55,480 Speaker 1: do what you want. What do you enjoy doing in 135 00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:58,000 Speaker 1: your off time? And I agree with that one thousand percent. 136 00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:00,960 Speaker 1: And if anybody, if anyone stayed in work the whole 137 00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:04,359 Speaker 1: time during their off time and their weekends and all that, 138 00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:07,200 Speaker 1: if they do that, then they should be able to say, no, 139 00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:09,320 Speaker 1: that's not how you do it. But if they if 140 00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:11,440 Speaker 1: they take time off and not do things that are 141 00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:14,520 Speaker 1: you know, for your job, it doesn't matter where you 142 00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:16,200 Speaker 1: see it's really, I mean, it doesn't I don't think 143 00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:18,400 Speaker 1: it matters. I don't think it matters at all. I 144 00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:21,280 Speaker 1: don't think there's a perception issue at all. From that, 145 00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:24,840 Speaker 1: I think the perception issues way before that. Yeah, and 146 00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:28,400 Speaker 1: then I mean he he no commented on the Jimmy 147 00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:31,600 Speaker 1: Johnson stuff. He's like, I respect coach Johnson a lot. 148 00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:35,960 Speaker 1: It's pretty much all he said. So yeah, that's yeah, 149 00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:39,239 Speaker 1: I would I think people are just like making issues 150 00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:42,320 Speaker 1: out of something really dumb and simple. It's like you 151 00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:46,120 Speaker 1: try to turn something into bigger issue than his shoe. 152 00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:48,760 Speaker 1: That's I mean, that's what I said Monday. That's that's 153 00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:51,000 Speaker 1: what That's part of the deal. Like, you can roll 154 00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:53,360 Speaker 1: your eyes at it all you want, but like fans 155 00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:55,920 Speaker 1: spend a ton of money to go to these games, 156 00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:58,160 Speaker 1: and they pour their heart and soul into this team. 157 00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:01,080 Speaker 1: They you know, it affects their mood for weeks on end. 158 00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:04,400 Speaker 1: They care a lot. They freaking listen to twenty five 159 00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:07,200 Speaker 1: hours of podcast that we put out. So if they're 160 00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:09,440 Speaker 1: frustrated because they think the coach is bad and he 161 00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:12,960 Speaker 1: doesn't look like he's focusing enough like that, they're well 162 00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:14,480 Speaker 1: within their right to do that. That That doesn't mean I 163 00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:17,640 Speaker 1: agree with them, but Jason Garrett's being paid five million 164 00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:19,440 Speaker 1: dollars a year to be the coach of the Cowboys, 165 00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:23,080 Speaker 1: and that goes along with it. Yeah, you know, you know, 166 00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:25,760 Speaker 1: I kind of had a slight change of opinion in 167 00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:31,120 Speaker 1: the last thirty seconds. But because so many times when 168 00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:35,400 Speaker 1: we talk about fans perspective, I really tried to flip 169 00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:37,600 Speaker 1: it and be a fan. And I haven't really been 170 00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:39,600 Speaker 1: a fan of the Cowboys in like twenty years, so 171 00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:41,960 Speaker 1: it's harder to do that. But we're all a fan 172 00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:44,080 Speaker 1: of other things. You're a fan of the LSU, of course, 173 00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:47,800 Speaker 1: I'm a fan of Arkansas and other teams or whatever, 174 00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:50,360 Speaker 1: and you try to like, Okay, what if I was 175 00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:52,760 Speaker 1: a fan, what would I like? And I've had a 176 00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:56,440 Speaker 1: similar conversation about this, I guess in the last few weeks. 177 00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:58,840 Speaker 1: And I think Dave was actually with me when that happened, 178 00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:01,800 Speaker 1: when I would kind of question and a coaching move, 179 00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:05,320 Speaker 1: it's a good point from my team and what decision 180 00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:06,800 Speaker 1: that that coach may. I don't need to get into 181 00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:08,640 Speaker 1: it all because I don't know all the details, but 182 00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:11,280 Speaker 1: as a fan, you're frustrated of him as a coach, 183 00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:14,319 Speaker 1: and then you start finding other things of what why 184 00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:17,480 Speaker 1: you're upset about. So I get it. Actually I didn't 185 00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:19,360 Speaker 1: really get it two minutes ago, but I get it 186 00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:21,360 Speaker 1: a little bit more now of why they would do that. 187 00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:25,440 Speaker 1: But it doesn't stem from anything other than they just 188 00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:28,320 Speaker 1: wish you had a different coach and you find little things. Absolutely, 189 00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:30,800 Speaker 1: I mean, but that's part of your right as a 190 00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:33,520 Speaker 1: fan like you don't you don't really have a say 191 00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:35,319 Speaker 1: in what's going on. So if you want to dog 192 00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:37,000 Speaker 1: cuss the coach for being in a World Series game, 193 00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:38,920 Speaker 1: go right ahead. Again, I don't think you're right for 194 00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:43,240 Speaker 1: doing it, but whatever. And Jason, Jason Garrett is wealth 195 00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:44,920 Speaker 1: and his right to not give a damn what anybody 196 00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:46,600 Speaker 1: thinks as long as his boss is okay with it. 197 00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:50,600 Speaker 1: Because if Sean McVeigh is sitting, you know, courtside at 198 00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:53,679 Speaker 1: everybody would think it was incredible a game or something 199 00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:56,559 Speaker 1: like that. Look at our swaggy coach hanging out with Lebron, 200 00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:59,640 Speaker 1: he's the best. Yeah. It's just it's all about whether 201 00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:01,280 Speaker 1: or not you're doing the job, that's right. It's about 202 00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:04,439 Speaker 1: whether you're winning. Well, what this discussion was happening. The 203 00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:12,280 Speaker 1: Cowboys did make a transaction recently, and this one they 204 00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:17,480 Speaker 1: signed cornerback Trust and I was im, I'm like, I'm like, 205 00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:19,280 Speaker 1: what's weird about that? And then I'm like, oh, yeah, 206 00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:23,720 Speaker 1: I'm from South Louisiana. That's why truston decoup. The second 207 00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:26,520 Speaker 1: D is silent Um. I could have asked you this 208 00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:29,959 Speaker 1: question like in the last three hours, but I didn't. 209 00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:34,080 Speaker 1: So you're going to LSU Alabama thurday night. I will 210 00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:36,480 Speaker 1: be there. I hope you're feeling good on Sunday morning 211 00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:40,720 Speaker 1: for other for various reasons, we'll see. I'm not supertimistic, 212 00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:43,640 Speaker 1: but I mean two of the best football games in 213 00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:46,080 Speaker 1: the world are happening in state of Louisiana this week. 214 00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:48,040 Speaker 1: You could that you're going to go to that game. 215 00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:50,720 Speaker 1: I know I don't have time. It's I mean the 216 00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:53,080 Speaker 1: Saints and Rams. Saints and Rams is I think my 217 00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:54,760 Speaker 1: flight back here is at like four, and I think 218 00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:57,760 Speaker 1: that game kicks off at three thirty plus I'm gonna 219 00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:02,880 Speaker 1: I'm bankrupting myself to go to this shoe games. So priorities, Um, 220 00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:05,560 Speaker 1: if you get a two one, it's about us. Yeah. 221 00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:07,920 Speaker 1: It's about as big of a weekend in Louisiana sports 222 00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:10,280 Speaker 1: history as there is as there's been in a long time, 223 00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:12,560 Speaker 1: that's for sure. Um, he had a good tweet the 224 00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:16,360 Speaker 1: other day about that game, about that Rams Saints game. 225 00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:18,400 Speaker 1: I mean the let us let us thing since Clarkris 226 00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:23,040 Speaker 1: Walt's house, for sure. Um. Anyways, trust in day Coup. 227 00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:28,760 Speaker 1: He's a he's a Day three what just gotta sometimes 228 00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:31,840 Speaker 1: just gotta drive it over onto the rumble strips. It's fine. Um, 229 00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:34,640 Speaker 1: he's he's a Day three draft pick. I think he 230 00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:37,720 Speaker 1: went to Oregon State. Uh, he was with the Texans. 231 00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:39,520 Speaker 1: Cowboys picked him up at the start of the season. 232 00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:42,360 Speaker 1: He's been hanging out on the practice squad. C J 233 00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:46,040 Speaker 1: Goodwin ye. Uh. He broke his arm in the last game. 234 00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:49,400 Speaker 1: So he's he's your last cornerback on the depth chart. Now, 235 00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:53,720 Speaker 1: they could have brought Donovan a Lumba, Yeah, and kind 236 00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:56,040 Speaker 1: of surprised, but you know, he hasn't got to look yet. 237 00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:59,120 Speaker 1: Tyree Robinson's another guy they could have brought up as 238 00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:00,520 Speaker 1: it because this guy's go to play a lot of 239 00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:03,320 Speaker 1: special teams. Robinson was on the team for two weeks 240 00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:06,280 Speaker 1: and didn't play in anither the game active and didn't play. 241 00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:08,880 Speaker 1: It's kind of hard to do. Yeah, that's just no. 242 00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:10,600 Speaker 1: If you're on the Yeah. If you're on the forty 243 00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:12,080 Speaker 1: six and you don't get in the game, you're not 244 00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:14,360 Speaker 1: a quarterback. Yeah, I mean, you would think you could 245 00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:17,040 Speaker 1: do something these guys. You know, Cavan Frasier's giving up 246 00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:19,360 Speaker 1: touchdowns on defense, he's kind of tired. You would think, 247 00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:21,160 Speaker 1: you know, maybe we could put Robinson in on this 248 00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:25,120 Speaker 1: punk team. No, no, not putting him in pun punt team. 249 00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:29,120 Speaker 1: Sounding like punk. It was I'm not want to speak 250 00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:33,960 Speaker 1: comes the pronunciation, But the club also designated wide receiver 251 00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:42,040 Speaker 1: Noah Brown returns lead with this. You guys, I'm so high. 252 00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:46,040 Speaker 1: Noah Brown is coming back. It's coming back. Explaining the 253 00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:49,120 Speaker 1: fascination with Noah Brown, I mean, at this point, if 254 00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:52,120 Speaker 1: he if he just had like really short hair, it's 255 00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:54,680 Speaker 1: not he had short hair when he got dropped. What 256 00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:56,160 Speaker 1: is it? Is it because he looks like a tight 257 00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:59,240 Speaker 1: end at this point. It's cool. At this point, it's 258 00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:02,520 Speaker 1: fifty percent because what you've seen from him on the 259 00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:05,600 Speaker 1: field and you want to see more. He yes, Okay, 260 00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:09,200 Speaker 1: it don't even start. Don't even pull out stats. How 261 00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:11,280 Speaker 1: can you say, don't even pull out stats when you 262 00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:13,040 Speaker 1: just said it's what he's doing on the field. He's 263 00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:16,200 Speaker 1: bare he's barely played. I'm the idiot for being excited. 264 00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:19,240 Speaker 1: Not that's what I'm saying, though, No, no, no, I'm 265 00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:22,199 Speaker 1: saying when I for me. For example, when I got 266 00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:24,760 Speaker 1: to see him on the field the very few times 267 00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:30,199 Speaker 1: that we did four times for catches, that I still 268 00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:33,880 Speaker 1: saw little sparks of him that made me want to 269 00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:36,840 Speaker 1: see more. That's what I'm getting at. He has been 270 00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:39,520 Speaker 1: an intriguing player from the time he got drafted he 271 00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:42,120 Speaker 1: left Ohio State. I don't want to put words in 272 00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:45,040 Speaker 1: his mouth, but it was not a wide receiver friendly scheme. 273 00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:47,840 Speaker 1: I think he was frustrated. He goes in the draft, 274 00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:51,920 Speaker 1: he falls because he doesn't have the resume. Basically, he's 275 00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:55,480 Speaker 1: he is a he has got that Dez Bryant type build. 276 00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:59,720 Speaker 1: He's six two, probably two eighteen or two twenty. He 277 00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:01,680 Speaker 1: can jump, he can run. I mean, he's not like 278 00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:04,960 Speaker 1: a burner, but he's got moves and you saw it 279 00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:07,080 Speaker 1: in the preseason. You didn't see a ton of it 280 00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:10,400 Speaker 1: in the regular season. But all that goes to he's 281 00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:12,360 Speaker 1: a good blocker. He can do a lot of things 282 00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:14,240 Speaker 1: the Cowboys want their wide receivers to do in the 283 00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:17,920 Speaker 1: run game, and I think He's unique in that he's 284 00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:20,640 Speaker 1: got a different build from every other receiver out there. 285 00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:23,480 Speaker 1: He's capable of boxing defenders out. I know the back 286 00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:26,720 Speaker 1: shoulder ball isn't It's probably not Dak Prescott's best throw, 287 00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:29,360 Speaker 1: but he still is a He's a better guy to 288 00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:31,160 Speaker 1: do that type of stuff with than a lot of 289 00:14:31,160 --> 00:14:33,840 Speaker 1: these other guys. Like I said, he can box DB's 290 00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:36,720 Speaker 1: out on slants and comebacks and things like that. I 291 00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:39,360 Speaker 1: just think he's got a lot of potential and fifty 292 00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:42,240 Speaker 1: percent of it is stick slash hype because we haven't 293 00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:44,520 Speaker 1: seen him in so long. He didn't practice once at 294 00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:47,200 Speaker 1: training camp. He was on his hand. He flared up 295 00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:50,520 Speaker 1: like the first afternoon we were there. So I just 296 00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:53,600 Speaker 1: I like his story, I like his skill set. I'm 297 00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:55,880 Speaker 1: excited to see him get a chance. The one thing 298 00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:59,880 Speaker 1: that everyone loved about Dez is just the type of 299 00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:03,120 Speaker 1: you know player he was with with that you know build, 300 00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:06,120 Speaker 1: and every time he was out there, it did look 301 00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:10,240 Speaker 1: like from our view, looked like it was another time 302 00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:14,680 Speaker 1: in the off season. Um we were sitting there eating 303 00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:16,800 Speaker 1: and I don't remember exactly who it was, but it 304 00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:21,160 Speaker 1: was like, why is Jalen Smith running routes from dak 305 00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:24,360 Speaker 1: He looks pretty good. Yeah he's back because this guy's 306 00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:27,520 Speaker 1: running route. No, that's Noah Brown. So that just goes 307 00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:30,760 Speaker 1: to show how Brown is. I've forgotten. I've forgotten that 308 00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:33,000 Speaker 1: because we I mean, he hasn't been a part of 309 00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:34,880 Speaker 1: the conversation and so long. But you know, we gave 310 00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:36,960 Speaker 1: Lance Lenore so much credit for how much time he 311 00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:39,000 Speaker 1: spent there in the off season. Noah Brown was right 312 00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:42,960 Speaker 1: there with him. Noah Brown was here on Valentine's Day 313 00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:46,240 Speaker 1: and every day after that working. So yeah, I root 314 00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:49,280 Speaker 1: for the guy. Um, it is worth pointing out a 315 00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:52,720 Speaker 1: couple things. They opened his practice window, so that doesn't 316 00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:54,760 Speaker 1: mean he'll be on the roster for the Titans game. 317 00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:57,640 Speaker 1: They have three weeks to evaluate him before they have 318 00:15:57,720 --> 00:16:00,000 Speaker 1: to move him to the active roster, so he doesn't 319 00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:02,520 Speaker 1: If he comes back, he doesn't have to be for 320 00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:05,160 Speaker 1: three more games, I believe, or maybe two more games. 321 00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:09,240 Speaker 1: Them and that also are somewhere. That also means that 322 00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:12,360 Speaker 1: they've used one of their ir to return slots. So 323 00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:15,920 Speaker 1: one of the two of Travis Frederick or Terrence Williams 324 00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:18,240 Speaker 1: is definitely done for the year. Like they can only 325 00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:22,760 Speaker 1: bring one more guy back. So and daytone Jones. Daytone 326 00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:27,080 Speaker 1: Jones is another one.

Now still questions about 373 00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:54,120 Speaker 1: Jeff Swain, Randy Gregory, Zack Martin. Also, I've seen people 374 00:18:54,119 --> 00:18:57,360 Speaker 1: asking about Cheetah Baboozier, so I wanted to check out 375 00:18:57,359 --> 00:18:59,640 Speaker 1: what you guys were able to see in today's practice. 376 00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:03,240 Speaker 1: Not a lot, because it's just I mean, it's fifteen 377 00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:06,320 Speaker 1: minutes where they run pattent go. But Jeff Swaim was 378 00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:09,520 Speaker 1: not there, Randy Gregory was not there, Zach Martin was 379 00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:13,400 Speaker 1: not there. Cheeto's there. I mean it's always something to watch, 380 00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:16,440 Speaker 1: for sure, But I mean, Cheeto he made it through 381 00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:19,360 Speaker 1: the last game and he had a week off, so 382 00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:24,359 Speaker 1: I'm not super worried about him. But Swim, I'm not 383 00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:26,520 Speaker 1: really worried about Zach Martin either, Like I'll believe he's 384 00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:30,160 Speaker 1: not going to play when he doesn't play. But so 385 00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:33,119 Speaker 1: Swim and Gregory are really two guys that I'm watching 386 00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:36,440 Speaker 1: as the week goes along, which just remember we talk 387 00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:38,840 Speaker 1: about this a lot, but you know, to the people 388 00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:41,800 Speaker 1: that are listening, they the weekends almost here for them 389 00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:44,879 Speaker 1: because it is Thursday, right, this is still Wednesday practice 390 00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:47,719 Speaker 1: for the Cowboys, and it's very normal for guys not 391 00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:50,680 Speaker 1: to do anything on Wednesday, but then easing to practice 392 00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:53,399 Speaker 1: Thursday Friday, as far as the Cowboys are concerned, just 393 00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:57,560 Speaker 1: set your week back a day pretty much. I mean like, yeah, 394 00:19:57,640 --> 00:20:00,080 Speaker 1: like I tweeted that out of Garrett's press conference that 395 00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:02,520 Speaker 1: Swayin wasn't going to practice and so we're doing a 396 00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:07,080 Speaker 1: show already. No, no, we're not doing a pailgate Saturday. Uh. 397 00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:10,880 Speaker 1: People were like they're like, come on, Garrett, it's Thursday already. 398 00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:13,119 Speaker 1: Like if you gotta get somebody else right, Like, no, 399 00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:16,320 Speaker 1: calm down, there's still there's three more practice to go. 400 00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:19,480 Speaker 1: Like argue with someone, like really like fight with someone, 401 00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:22,120 Speaker 1: like back in the coaching office, you know, like, no, 402 00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:25,639 Speaker 1: it is Wednesday, Like who was it yesterday that we 403 00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:28,600 Speaker 1: walked by and was like, oh, you should have saved 404 00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:32,560 Speaker 1: that outfit for Wednesday. I'm like, it is Wednesday. But yeah, 405 00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:35,639 Speaker 1: talking about like a Wednesday football sketch. Yeah, he was 406 00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:38,760 Speaker 1: already Yeah, that's right, he was already thinking this is 407 00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:44,399 Speaker 1: not Wednesday. Have a great Wednesday. Yeah, yeah, thank you, Jason. 408 00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:48,440 Speaker 1: So out of these two, which is what he's saying today, yeah, 409 00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:52,080 Speaker 1: pretty much. So which out of these two? Obviously swayn 410 00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:54,720 Speaker 1: would be the biggest question. But as far as Randy 411 00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:58,200 Speaker 1: Gregory and I know, it's two elding the week but 412 00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:02,040 Speaker 1: based on the siegure he had and all that, is 413 00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:05,879 Speaker 1: it possible or likable for him to actually do something 414 00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:09,280 Speaker 1: this weekend? Yeah, I mean I think it's possible. Again, 415 00:21:09,320 --> 00:21:11,560 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, it's for the fifth time it's 416 00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:14,160 Speaker 1: Wednesday in their world, So I mean that's it's very 417 00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:17,800 Speaker 1: normal for a veteran player to miss a Wednesday practice. 418 00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:21,119 Speaker 1: It's you know, the Thursday Friday practice is going to 419 00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:23,719 Speaker 1: be the telling one. And then obviously over the weekend. 420 00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:26,040 Speaker 1: I mean it seems crazy to me that you can 421 00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:28,040 Speaker 1: have a nice scope. I don't get you know, Derek 422 00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:30,160 Speaker 1: tried to argue with me that it's my like, oh, 423 00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:34,239 Speaker 1: that's not surgery. Like if somebody's inserting metal objects into 424 00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:38,240 Speaker 1: your body, it's surgery. So it's something to watch. I'll be. 425 00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:40,240 Speaker 1: I'll be kind of impressed if he can go. But 426 00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:43,280 Speaker 1: just just think about all injuries that you have, whether 427 00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:46,000 Speaker 1: it be small, you know, sprain or cut or whatever, 428 00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:50,200 Speaker 1: twenty seven to thirty hours later. And most games are 429 00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:52,600 Speaker 1: play at noon or three o'clock on Sunday, you know, 430 00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:55,400 Speaker 1: but when you're when you're playing at seven o'clock Monday night, 431 00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:58,879 Speaker 1: I mean that's twenty seven or thirty hours more, you 432 00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:01,639 Speaker 1: know later on a lot of things can change in 433 00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:05,040 Speaker 1: that time. Now I understand that, you know, surgery for 434 00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:07,439 Speaker 1: for Gregory. I would not expect Gregory to play in 435 00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:10,720 Speaker 1: this game, but somebody like Swain, I mean, a Monday 436 00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:13,080 Speaker 1: night game is different, obviously different than Sunday, and it 437 00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:15,240 Speaker 1: really in our mind it's like, well it's almost the 438 00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:17,000 Speaker 1: end of the week, but he's still got a lot 439 00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:19,159 Speaker 1: of time. I wouldn't be surprised if if that's a 440 00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:22,520 Speaker 1: whole extra day you get to him. Get right, Yeah, 441 00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:26,040 Speaker 1: all right, now let's move on to the Tennessee defense. 442 00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:32,360 Speaker 1: You okay, Um, hopefully this is bad. Um. I mean, 443 00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:37,760 Speaker 1: I'm saying they das report, But honestly, when I think 444 00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:40,080 Speaker 1: of the Titans defense, like I just think of like 445 00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:42,960 Speaker 1: Javan Curse or hands Worth. That's Nick is Nick is 446 00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:45,120 Speaker 1: the king of being Like, is it still the same 447 00:22:45,119 --> 00:22:49,080 Speaker 1: thing from eight years ago? It's still got Yeah, Javan 448 00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:50,919 Speaker 1: Curse was a hell of a player though. Yeah, he 449 00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:54,440 Speaker 1: was a beast. He was a freak um. But they 450 00:22:54,440 --> 00:22:58,040 Speaker 1: don't have a lot of like star players. No defense, 451 00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:02,280 Speaker 1: they don't impressive, they don't pay their best player. They 452 00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:03,879 Speaker 1: don't have a lot of stars. They do have one 453 00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:06,760 Speaker 1: of the most underrated players in the entire NFL in 454 00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:11,119 Speaker 1: my opinion, guy by the name of Jarell Casey. He's 455 00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:13,360 Speaker 1: their three technique. Well, I mean they play three four, 456 00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:17,080 Speaker 1: but he's there penetrating just I've broke a play all 457 00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:20,360 Speaker 1: around from him yesterday, illustrated. And he is a badass. 458 00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:24,440 Speaker 1: He's a bam. He's actually he's one of just a yeah, 459 00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:27,199 Speaker 1: he's a bamp. He's one of just a handful of 460 00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:30,640 Speaker 1: guys that's left over from this uh from the last 461 00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:35,040 Speaker 1: time the Cowboys played the Titans, which twenty fourteen, he had. 462 00:23:35,080 --> 00:23:38,679 Speaker 1: He had two sacks in that game, sack Tony Romo twice. 463 00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:41,000 Speaker 1: So he's a guy you got to account for. He's 464 00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:45,080 Speaker 1: absolutely massive. He's a he's a second team all pro 465 00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:48,399 Speaker 1: and a three time Pro Bowler's he's the guy to know, 466 00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:53,440 Speaker 1: because honestly, the rest of this doesn't do a lot 467 00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:56,120 Speaker 1: for me. So it's I'm conflicted about this. The Titans 468 00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:59,160 Speaker 1: are eleventh in total defense three hundred forty yards a game. 469 00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:04,040 Speaker 1: They have a top ten passing defense and the middle 470 00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:07,320 Speaker 1: of the pack rushing defense. They're third in scoring defense, 471 00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:09,159 Speaker 1: behind the Cowboys. So like you look at that and 472 00:24:09,200 --> 00:24:12,520 Speaker 1: you're like, oh, these guys are not messing around. These 473 00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:15,359 Speaker 1: guys are great, But like, I don't know, man, I 474 00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:18,879 Speaker 1: didn't I didn't see it. And that sounds mean because 475 00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:22,000 Speaker 1: you know, watch watch They'll kick the Cowboys ass on 476 00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:24,439 Speaker 1: Monday Night. Now that I've said that, but like the 477 00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:27,280 Speaker 1: main thing for me is this is an old defense. 478 00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:32,760 Speaker 1: I did the math on it. There are there are 479 00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:36,679 Speaker 1: four guys on this defense that are thirty or older 480 00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:40,399 Speaker 1: and the average age of this defense is twenty seven. 481 00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:44,040 Speaker 1: And so when I watched them, I just didn't see like, 482 00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:48,440 Speaker 1: for example, the Jacksonville JA Jaguars, they just fly around 483 00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:51,200 Speaker 1: all over the place. They got these young draft pick, 484 00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:54,960 Speaker 1: badass players everywhere, and they just look super athletic. I 485 00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:57,440 Speaker 1: don't necessarily see that here. This is a big defense. 486 00:24:57,480 --> 00:25:02,240 Speaker 1: So you got Drell Casey, Daquan jo Austin Johnson are 487 00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:05,240 Speaker 1: your main front. Benny Logan's in there too, but he's 488 00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:07,840 Speaker 1: really more of a depth guy. He kind of fell 489 00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:13,280 Speaker 1: off pretty quickly, which is surprising. Your rush guys are 490 00:25:13,520 --> 00:25:16,359 Speaker 1: Derek Morgan, who's a long time Titan. He was on 491 00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:20,959 Speaker 1: the fourteen team. He's thirty years old. And Brian Rockpo. 492 00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:22,800 Speaker 1: You know, he came over from the Redskins a few 493 00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:28,160 Speaker 1: years ago. He's thirty two. Will Compton's thirty, he's inside linebacker. 494 00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:32,240 Speaker 1: Wesley Woodyard, former Kentucky guy, he's thirty two. Like these 495 00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:35,680 Speaker 1: guys are getting up there and like, you know, they're 496 00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:38,960 Speaker 1: still NFL players, but they just they don't they didn't 497 00:25:39,040 --> 00:25:41,280 Speaker 1: jump off the screen at me as like just these 498 00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:46,800 Speaker 1: super duper athletic Guysum, the money of this defense is 499 00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:49,560 Speaker 1: in the secondary. They have Logan, Ryan, They brought in 500 00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:54,879 Speaker 1: Malcolm Butler from New England, the Super Bowl Hero. I know, 501 00:25:55,040 --> 00:25:57,479 Speaker 1: like they're top ten, but there's place to be made 502 00:25:57,520 --> 00:26:01,840 Speaker 1: against these guys. Malcolm I know, you know, pro football 503 00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:04,159 Speaker 1: focus isn't everything, but he's ranked seventy ninth in the 504 00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:07,199 Speaker 1: league among cornerbacks right now, like he's having a bad year. 505 00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:10,440 Speaker 1: He's given up five passing touchdowns. Cheeto on that list, 506 00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:13,560 Speaker 1: I don't know, but Byron Jones is one. He's the 507 00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:16,920 Speaker 1: number one, number one rated corner by them. I know that, 508 00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:19,200 Speaker 1: you know that's not scientific, but that's what they say. 509 00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:23,840 Speaker 1: They've I mean, they've given up chunk plays in damn 510 00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:26,280 Speaker 1: near every game they've played. I looked this up. They 511 00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:28,600 Speaker 1: gave up touchdowns of seventy five and fifty five to 512 00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:31,399 Speaker 1: the Chargers through the air. They gave up a twenty 513 00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:33,960 Speaker 1: eight yarder and a thirty nine yard er to Houston. 514 00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:38,560 Speaker 1: They gave up a fifty six yarder to Philly, most 515 00:26:38,600 --> 00:26:40,960 Speaker 1: of these coming on Malcolm Butler, by the way, who's 516 00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:43,440 Speaker 1: their big money guy, who was supposed to be their shutdown. 517 00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:48,240 Speaker 1: So I have reason to think that there are plays 518 00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:51,520 Speaker 1: to be made against these guys, and obviously easier said 519 00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:54,200 Speaker 1: than done with the way the Cowboys passing offense has been. 520 00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:57,360 Speaker 1: But Amari Cooper's there now. And you know, I always 521 00:26:57,720 --> 00:27:00,000 Speaker 1: argue with Nick like I don't care that much about 522 00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:02,919 Speaker 1: bombing away, but maybe you should. Maybe you should in 523 00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:06,000 Speaker 1: this game because they've shown a tendency to give those 524 00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:09,240 Speaker 1: plays up. They have a Dorey Jackson, a Dorry Jackson 525 00:27:09,280 --> 00:27:12,159 Speaker 1: as well, first round pick everybody, you know. They stole 526 00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:14,080 Speaker 1: him from the Cowboys a couple of years ago in 527 00:27:14,119 --> 00:27:18,000 Speaker 1: the draft. But he's their third corner, which if your 528 00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:21,320 Speaker 1: second year, first round pick like that's disappointing in my opinion. 529 00:27:23,119 --> 00:27:25,399 Speaker 1: And their rushing offense, these are this is the rushing 530 00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:29,240 Speaker 1: totals they've allowed one twenty one, forty seven. They gave 531 00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:32,160 Speaker 1: up eighty seven to Jacksonville, but Jacksonville didn't run that much. 532 00:27:32,160 --> 00:27:35,520 Speaker 1: They averaged four point six yards per carry, one seventeen 533 00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:39,280 Speaker 1: to Philly, one forty four to Buffalo, although the Bills 534 00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:41,040 Speaker 1: only averaged three and a half yards per carry in 535 00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:42,480 Speaker 1: that game, but they still got two one hundred and 536 00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:46,119 Speaker 1: fifty rushing yards one twenty three from Baltimore. They completely 537 00:27:46,240 --> 00:27:49,359 Speaker 1: shut down the Chargers the other day in London forty 538 00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:53,359 Speaker 1: seven in that game, but Philip Rivers was doing whatever 539 00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:57,320 Speaker 1: he wanted to through the air. So there's place to 540 00:27:57,359 --> 00:28:01,000 Speaker 1: be made against these guys. I think like they're stout statistically, 541 00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:04,959 Speaker 1: but I think this plays well to the Cowboys strengths 542 00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:09,760 Speaker 1: because well you mentioned Casey. Now, how is this. How 543 00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:12,280 Speaker 1: much of a problem is this gonna be when going 544 00:28:12,359 --> 00:28:15,600 Speaker 1: up against Connor Williams. If there's the one thing that 545 00:28:15,640 --> 00:28:20,159 Speaker 1: gives me pause is I think their front is big 546 00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:24,040 Speaker 1: and powerful, I mean Jurrell Casey most of all, and yeah, 547 00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:26,720 Speaker 1: he's probably gonna he's gonna disrupt some stuff. I mean, 548 00:28:26,760 --> 00:28:31,080 Speaker 1: you remember Connor Williams playing against Kawan Short. They have 549 00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:33,080 Speaker 1: the potential to do that, and I think that could 550 00:28:33,080 --> 00:28:34,680 Speaker 1: be a problem for Connor. I think it could be 551 00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:36,600 Speaker 1: a problem for all of them, to be honest with you, 552 00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:38,600 Speaker 1: And that's the one thing that kind of gives me 553 00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:42,640 Speaker 1: pause about this. But I think there's plays there in 554 00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:45,200 Speaker 1: the passing game. Like like I said, I mean, they're 555 00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:48,080 Speaker 1: ranked ninth, and I was expecting to see just this, 556 00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:51,920 Speaker 1: you know, lockdown coverage on tape, and I didn't. Like 557 00:28:52,720 --> 00:28:56,000 Speaker 1: teams are beating them with some regularity. All of their 558 00:28:56,040 --> 00:28:58,240 Speaker 1: corners a door. Jackson gave up one of the long 559 00:28:58,280 --> 00:29:02,400 Speaker 1: ones to the Chargers the other day, So I'm encouraged. 560 00:29:02,480 --> 00:29:04,040 Speaker 1: I do think, I mean, they're gonna have their work 561 00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:08,280 Speaker 1: cut out for him blocking Casey and Johnson. Oh and 562 00:29:08,360 --> 00:29:11,960 Speaker 1: one more two names me being the draft nerd that 563 00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:14,080 Speaker 1: I am like I keep my eye on them because 564 00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:16,840 Speaker 1: Harold Landry and Rashaun Evans. Rashaun Evans is the Bama 565 00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:20,520 Speaker 1: linebacker that the Cowboys liked, he wound up here. They 566 00:29:20,680 --> 00:29:23,200 Speaker 1: move him in a lot. And then Harold Landry's the 567 00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:25,720 Speaker 1: Boston College pass rusher that they got in the second round, 568 00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:28,960 Speaker 1: and they're trying to get him involved. And I think 569 00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:31,960 Speaker 1: it's because they obviously see the end of the road 570 00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:34,040 Speaker 1: for these guys like Morgan and a rock po I 571 00:29:34,080 --> 00:29:35,960 Speaker 1: wonder how involved he's gonna get in this game because 572 00:29:35,960 --> 00:29:37,960 Speaker 1: he's kind of been a bit player to this point. 573 00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:43,120 Speaker 1: But those guys super talented and definitely worth watching if 574 00:29:43,160 --> 00:29:45,959 Speaker 1: they get on the field. Okay, well, I'm liking this. 575 00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:48,640 Speaker 1: I'm liking this report. Like I feel like a Homer 576 00:29:48,680 --> 00:29:50,520 Speaker 1: when I say this, because like usually, you know, people 577 00:29:50,560 --> 00:29:53,080 Speaker 1: give me crap all the time. They're like, oh, to 578 00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:55,440 Speaker 1: hear it from Dave. We're playing the eighty five Bears, 579 00:29:55,600 --> 00:29:59,160 Speaker 1: you know, Like I try to pay respect to the opposition. 580 00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:02,640 Speaker 1: But like I watched them play, and I I don't know, 581 00:30:02,680 --> 00:30:05,040 Speaker 1: I wasn't clearly you would say the Cowboys defense is 582 00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:08,360 Speaker 1: a lot better. It's definitely better in my opinion. Yeah, 583 00:30:08,480 --> 00:30:10,600 Speaker 1: and you go. The Cowboys got that working for them 584 00:30:10,600 --> 00:30:13,160 Speaker 1: this weekend and playing at home, I think the Cowboys 585 00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:15,440 Speaker 1: have the favorable matchup on both sides of the ball, 586 00:30:15,480 --> 00:30:17,600 Speaker 1: on top of the fact that they're playing at home. Nice. 587 00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:19,800 Speaker 1: All right, let's take our final break and when we 588 00:30:19,840 --> 00:30:22,240 Speaker 1: come back, we'll take some questions.

Okay, 649 00:33:40,480 --> 00:33:46,320 Speaker 1: So at this time, um, when when the season, when 650 00:33:46,360 --> 00:33:48,280 Speaker 1: you have a season going to wait it's going for 651 00:33:48,320 --> 00:33:50,440 Speaker 1: the Cowboys, it gets to a point where you start 652 00:33:50,480 --> 00:33:53,040 Speaker 1: pointing fingers. And this is something we've talked about in 653 00:33:53,080 --> 00:33:55,800 Speaker 1: the past, but I've seen several people ask about this 654 00:33:56,960 --> 00:34:02,520 Speaker 1: Kellen Moore. How much blame falls on Kellen Moore when 655 00:34:02,560 --> 00:34:06,040 Speaker 1: he comes to Dak's performance on the field. You know 656 00:34:06,080 --> 00:34:09,000 Speaker 1: what I mean, that's the first time I've actually heard that, 657 00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:15,239 Speaker 1: like this week after the after Alexander got fired. But 658 00:34:15,640 --> 00:34:18,200 Speaker 1: I mean, have you heard it a lot not? I Mean, 659 00:34:18,800 --> 00:34:21,319 Speaker 1: there's a there's people on Twitter that hate on Kellen 660 00:34:21,400 --> 00:34:23,200 Speaker 1: Moore all the time, but like I haven't heard it 661 00:34:23,280 --> 00:34:25,920 Speaker 1: any more than I'm The thing is is that that 662 00:34:26,200 --> 00:34:31,040 Speaker 1: kind of regress last year a little bit from his 663 00:34:31,160 --> 00:34:34,160 Speaker 1: rookie year and then and that was you know, with 664 00:34:34,200 --> 00:34:37,040 Speaker 1: Wade Wilson as the coach, the offensive line has been 665 00:34:37,080 --> 00:34:40,680 Speaker 1: really good and I mean elite, and all of a 666 00:34:40,719 --> 00:34:44,080 Speaker 1: sudden it's not anymore. And what's the difference a new coach, 667 00:34:44,120 --> 00:34:46,359 Speaker 1: So let's let's change that. So I don't know if 668 00:34:46,400 --> 00:34:48,560 Speaker 1: you can say all, you know, like, oh my god, 669 00:34:48,600 --> 00:34:50,600 Speaker 1: what's going on with Dak? We started to see this 670 00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:55,200 Speaker 1: last year. Now he hasn't helped to the point where 671 00:34:55,200 --> 00:34:57,879 Speaker 1: he's where he's a lot better that we see. I'm 672 00:34:57,880 --> 00:34:59,960 Speaker 1: sure that the coach will tell you, oh, he sees thinking. 673 00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:03,279 Speaker 1: But I think it's fair. I mean, that's fair criticism 674 00:35:03,320 --> 00:35:05,320 Speaker 1: and it's something that it's worth, like you're on watch. 675 00:35:06,040 --> 00:35:10,879 Speaker 1: But but again, Dak was sort of struggling some last 676 00:35:10,920 --> 00:35:13,880 Speaker 1: year and we saw that. You know, this isn't his 677 00:35:13,920 --> 00:35:18,200 Speaker 1: rookie season anymore. It's more of a challenge, and you know, 678 00:35:18,239 --> 00:35:19,880 Speaker 1: he was brought in Kellen Moore is brought in to 679 00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:23,439 Speaker 1: help with that. So far, we haven't seen big changes there, 680 00:35:23,480 --> 00:35:26,120 Speaker 1: but they're gonna they're gonna give them. They're gonna give 681 00:35:26,160 --> 00:35:28,640 Speaker 1: him a new wide receiver They're gonna give them the 682 00:35:29,120 --> 00:35:32,720 Speaker 1: old offensive line scheme and back and we'll see what happens. 683 00:35:33,160 --> 00:35:36,680 Speaker 1: Now with no first round pick next year, what's the 684 00:35:36,719 --> 00:35:41,040 Speaker 1: Cowboys number one need in the second round draft? Show? 685 00:35:41,400 --> 00:35:45,040 Speaker 1: Before you get to that, can you can you address 686 00:35:45,080 --> 00:35:47,359 Speaker 1: that Kellen Moore thing. You're about to say something real quick? No, 687 00:35:47,719 --> 00:35:52,440 Speaker 1: I mean, I quarterback, it's so weird. It's different for me. 688 00:35:52,480 --> 00:35:53,920 Speaker 1: I don't like. I mean, we say that all the time. 689 00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:59,040 Speaker 1: Quarterbacks different. And yeah, I don't know unless unless Dak 690 00:35:59,080 --> 00:36:01,839 Speaker 1: Prescott was like, you gotta get this guy out of here. 691 00:36:01,840 --> 00:36:04,040 Speaker 1: He's killing me. I don't like, You're not gonna do 692 00:36:04,040 --> 00:36:06,359 Speaker 1: something that's gonna upset your quarterback. And I think Dak 693 00:36:06,520 --> 00:36:09,120 Speaker 1: likes Kellen Moore. I mean, mate, you know, if if this, 694 00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:11,920 Speaker 1: if this doesn't work out at the end of the season, obviously, 695 00:36:11,920 --> 00:36:15,520 Speaker 1: I mean Kellen Moore, this is his first year coaching anything, 696 00:36:15,560 --> 00:36:17,719 Speaker 1: but he's smart enough to know, like that's how coaching works. 697 00:36:17,719 --> 00:36:20,280 Speaker 1: If this season goes south, everybody should be on notice, 698 00:36:20,320 --> 00:36:23,759 Speaker 1: Like nobody over there is going to feel comfortable about 699 00:36:23,800 --> 00:36:26,040 Speaker 1: their job status if the Cowboys don't find a way 700 00:36:26,080 --> 00:36:28,640 Speaker 1: to win games. But I just you don't do things 701 00:36:28,640 --> 00:36:30,960 Speaker 1: to upset your quarterback halfway through the season, Like, you 702 00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:33,280 Speaker 1: want him to be comfortable and happy in the environment 703 00:36:33,280 --> 00:36:36,680 Speaker 1: that he's working in, and so yanking the coach out 704 00:36:36,680 --> 00:36:39,440 Speaker 1: of there and putting somebody new in is probably not 705 00:36:39,480 --> 00:36:42,480 Speaker 1: going to make your quarterback happy. So I can't I 706 00:36:42,560 --> 00:36:45,400 Speaker 1: can't think of many examples of a quarterback coach getting 707 00:36:45,719 --> 00:36:48,000 Speaker 1: yanked halfway through a season. It just doesn't seem like 708 00:36:48,040 --> 00:36:50,680 Speaker 1: it's something that happens. What I have never really liked 709 00:36:50,719 --> 00:36:56,120 Speaker 1: about this higher is that it's one thing that's fine 710 00:36:56,160 --> 00:36:57,640 Speaker 1: that he didn't really play a lot of games. He 711 00:36:57,719 --> 00:36:59,520 Speaker 1: played a few games in the league. There's a lot 712 00:36:59,560 --> 00:37:01,880 Speaker 1: of coaches that probably never played any in the NFL. 713 00:37:02,200 --> 00:37:04,279 Speaker 1: What they played was high school in college. But why 714 00:37:04,280 --> 00:37:07,080 Speaker 1: they're NFL coaches because they've been around the NFL for 715 00:37:07,120 --> 00:37:09,399 Speaker 1: a long time. And I just don't think he's got 716 00:37:09,440 --> 00:37:11,560 Speaker 1: a lot of experience. He didn't have a ton of 717 00:37:11,600 --> 00:37:14,440 Speaker 1: experience as a player. He certainly has no experience as 718 00:37:14,480 --> 00:37:17,480 Speaker 1: a coach. So he's still a young guy in life. 719 00:37:17,520 --> 00:37:19,480 Speaker 1: I mean not just as a coach, but he's still 720 00:37:19,520 --> 00:37:22,080 Speaker 1: a young guy and he hasn't really seen much more 721 00:37:22,120 --> 00:37:24,960 Speaker 1: than that. So I just always questioned how much he 722 00:37:25,000 --> 00:37:28,600 Speaker 1: could really help with his experience. He's obviously got a 723 00:37:28,640 --> 00:37:31,200 Speaker 1: good mind for the position in the game, or he 724 00:37:31,239 --> 00:37:34,160 Speaker 1: wouldn't have won so many games in college and been 725 00:37:34,200 --> 00:37:36,000 Speaker 1: around and all that, and he got a good grasp 726 00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:38,120 Speaker 1: with what Lenahan's trying to do. I will say this though, 727 00:37:38,160 --> 00:37:41,400 Speaker 1: as I think most of most of the moves that 728 00:37:41,440 --> 00:37:44,000 Speaker 1: the Cowboys made were in the interest of like harmony. 729 00:37:44,280 --> 00:37:46,640 Speaker 1: It's like, we kind of got our backs to the wall, 730 00:37:46,840 --> 00:37:49,520 Speaker 1: you know, let's just bring in guys who like, who 731 00:37:49,560 --> 00:37:51,600 Speaker 1: get us, who get what we want to do, who 732 00:37:51,680 --> 00:37:53,359 Speaker 1: we're not going to be butting heads with. I mean, 733 00:37:53,480 --> 00:37:57,439 Speaker 1: Kellen Moore comes to mind, He's Scott Lindahan's protege. Ben 734 00:37:57,480 --> 00:38:00,480 Speaker 1: Bloom is a guy who's been here forever. They elevated him. 735 00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:03,040 Speaker 1: They bring Mark Colombo on. Like, the two that stand 736 00:38:03,080 --> 00:38:06,840 Speaker 1: out in that regard um are for me, Chris Roh 737 00:38:06,880 --> 00:38:10,840 Speaker 1: Shard and Paul Alexander and well, Paul Alexander Law and 738 00:38:10,920 --> 00:38:12,839 Speaker 1: maybe you could throw in there two. Yeah. It doesn't 739 00:38:12,840 --> 00:38:15,680 Speaker 1: have a lot of ties here. Yeah, I guess that 740 00:38:15,400 --> 00:38:18,040 Speaker 1: that is true. You're that's fair, But I would say 741 00:38:18,040 --> 00:38:22,480 Speaker 1: the difference is Chris Roh Shard's unit is performing really well. 742 00:38:22,520 --> 00:38:25,040 Speaker 1: Paul Alexander's didn't, so they're like, oh, that didn't work. 743 00:38:25,120 --> 00:38:27,719 Speaker 1: Let's raise up another familiar guy who and we can 744 00:38:27,800 --> 00:38:30,960 Speaker 1: kind of get that sense of harmony back. Although I 745 00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:33,359 Speaker 1: mean the receivers aren't playing great either, so they went 746 00:38:33,600 --> 00:38:35,600 Speaker 1: they didn't I mean, try to help him. You're right, 747 00:38:35,640 --> 00:38:38,560 Speaker 1: they they did well. They're probably like, what else do 748 00:38:38,560 --> 00:38:40,360 Speaker 1: you want us to do to help the offensive line? 749 00:38:40,360 --> 00:38:43,440 Speaker 1: I mean what I mean, all first rounders, not a 750 00:38:43,440 --> 00:38:46,000 Speaker 1: lot you can do to improve the talent level short 751 00:38:46,040 --> 00:38:48,880 Speaker 1: of getting Travis fred I mean, obviously with Frederick and Luney. 752 00:38:48,920 --> 00:38:52,040 Speaker 1: But but when they started training camp with Frederick, I mean, 753 00:38:52,160 --> 00:38:56,000 Speaker 1: I'm sure Max or not? What am I thinking of 754 00:38:56,480 --> 00:39:01,560 Speaker 1: the draft McShay and paper, Yeah, I mean I guarantee 755 00:39:01,640 --> 00:39:04,319 Speaker 1: the first round grades on every single guy that was 756 00:39:04,800 --> 00:39:08,640 Speaker 1: that was drafted. Maybe not Frederick. Frederick may not have Yeah, no, 757 00:39:08,800 --> 00:39:12,040 Speaker 1: he didn't because they killed him for it. Or first 758 00:39:12,080 --> 00:39:16,640 Speaker 1: round grade, Yeah, pretty close. I just I always thought 759 00:39:17,200 --> 00:39:20,000 Speaker 1: the Cowboys made most of their offseason moves in the 760 00:39:20,120 --> 00:39:23,480 Speaker 1: name of like harmony and like you know what if, 761 00:39:23,640 --> 00:39:25,200 Speaker 1: like if our backs are the wall and we might 762 00:39:25,239 --> 00:39:27,240 Speaker 1: get fired, We're gonna do it our way with guys 763 00:39:27,280 --> 00:39:29,719 Speaker 1: that we like and trust instead of like bringing in 764 00:39:29,719 --> 00:39:32,080 Speaker 1: all these new faces. All right, well, they usually don't 765 00:39:32,120 --> 00:39:35,680 Speaker 1: like doing that. They like sticking to yea, their own 766 00:39:35,719 --> 00:39:38,600 Speaker 1: thing and yeah, and well, and it's believing that it's 767 00:39:38,600 --> 00:39:41,000 Speaker 1: gonna work out. It's the classic case. I mean, if 768 00:39:41,000 --> 00:39:43,040 Speaker 1: it works out for him, that'll be good for them. 769 00:39:43,040 --> 00:39:46,480 Speaker 1: And if it doesn't, it'll it'll probably change. But yeah, 770 00:39:46,520 --> 00:39:48,279 Speaker 1: so who would you pick or who do you think 771 00:39:48,560 --> 00:39:51,080 Speaker 1: what position do you think is the biggest necessity going 772 00:39:51,120 --> 00:39:54,360 Speaker 1: into the draft for the second round? People are gonna 773 00:39:54,360 --> 00:39:57,600 Speaker 1: say tight end. But I'm starting a movement, and I'm 774 00:39:57,640 --> 00:40:00,600 Speaker 1: doing it right now, before before the off season even 775 00:40:00,640 --> 00:40:03,040 Speaker 1: gets here. Because you know, we talk about how deep 776 00:40:03,080 --> 00:40:07,440 Speaker 1: the learning curve is for wide receiver, how about tight end? Like, 777 00:40:07,560 --> 00:40:12,040 Speaker 1: how how many short of other than Rob Gronkowski, who 778 00:40:12,239 --> 00:40:14,080 Speaker 1: is in the Hall of Fame right now if he 779 00:40:14,120 --> 00:40:17,120 Speaker 1: never plays another snap, how many tight ends like make 780 00:40:17,160 --> 00:40:20,880 Speaker 1: an early difference, like really just come on strong and 781 00:40:20,600 --> 00:40:22,799 Speaker 1: yeah and are great right out the bat so well, 782 00:40:22,800 --> 00:40:25,160 Speaker 1: but how many seventh round tight ends and undrafted guys? 783 00:40:25,160 --> 00:40:26,600 Speaker 1: I mean, that's what they're I mean, at least the 784 00:40:26,600 --> 00:40:28,920 Speaker 1: starting point now, you can't say that they have not 785 00:40:29,040 --> 00:40:31,759 Speaker 1: hit on second round tight ends in the last ten years. 786 00:40:32,200 --> 00:40:35,160 Speaker 1: I'm not even looking at the I'm in the NFL. 787 00:40:35,239 --> 00:40:37,400 Speaker 1: How many people hit on tight ends. I mean, you 788 00:40:37,400 --> 00:40:40,560 Speaker 1: know O J. Howard like he's he's okay, I guess 789 00:40:41,520 --> 00:40:43,640 Speaker 1: for all to talk about Dallas Goddard and I know 790 00:40:43,680 --> 00:40:48,000 Speaker 1: they have zach Ertz. But well, let me argue with 791 00:40:48,040 --> 00:40:49,680 Speaker 1: you there, because I'm not trying to get a guy 792 00:40:49,840 --> 00:40:51,360 Speaker 1: in Canton. I want a guy to be better than 793 00:40:51,440 --> 00:40:54,759 Speaker 1: Jeff Swain. Absolutely. The point I'm trying to make is 794 00:40:55,000 --> 00:40:57,280 Speaker 1: I want to spend on tight end in free agency. 795 00:40:57,400 --> 00:40:59,719 Speaker 1: I let me get a veteran tight end in here. 796 00:40:59,719 --> 00:41:03,160 Speaker 1: It does have to even be uh, it doesn't have 797 00:41:03,200 --> 00:41:05,480 Speaker 1: to be this huge contract. But yeah, case in point 798 00:41:05,520 --> 00:41:08,800 Speaker 1: the Bears. The Bears went out and signed Trey Burton. 799 00:41:08,960 --> 00:41:10,640 Speaker 1: You know, he was like this, the third tight end 800 00:41:10,680 --> 00:41:12,359 Speaker 1: for the Eagles when they won the Super Bowl. Who's 801 00:41:12,360 --> 00:41:15,359 Speaker 1: not not a crazy good player, but an upgrade over 802 00:41:15,400 --> 00:41:17,520 Speaker 1: what they had, and they didn't break the bank for him. 803 00:41:17,560 --> 00:41:20,560 Speaker 1: I'd rather just give me a middle priced vet who 804 00:41:20,640 --> 00:41:23,160 Speaker 1: can do the job rather than for a room. I 805 00:41:23,200 --> 00:41:25,840 Speaker 1: thought the way you were headed was gonna be like, oh, 806 00:41:25,880 --> 00:41:29,399 Speaker 1: I think by a second year these tight ends will 807 00:41:29,440 --> 00:41:32,359 Speaker 1: develop something else. I don't have time to wait for 808 00:41:32,360 --> 00:41:36,759 Speaker 1: people to develop. But my position is defensive tackle. The 809 00:41:36,760 --> 00:41:39,399 Speaker 1: defensive tackle like that, I don't I don't know what's 810 00:41:39,400 --> 00:41:42,160 Speaker 1: going on with David Irving. I don't expect David Irving 811 00:41:42,160 --> 00:41:45,440 Speaker 1: to be back. Tyrone Crawford. He's been, he's been really 812 00:41:45,600 --> 00:41:48,000 Speaker 1: good as far as you know, locker room guy. He's 813 00:41:48,000 --> 00:41:50,960 Speaker 1: gonna make he's gonna make a few dollars this next year. 814 00:41:51,080 --> 00:41:52,719 Speaker 1: And with his you know, getting up there in age 815 00:41:52,719 --> 00:41:54,879 Speaker 1: a little bit, I don't think they'll make a move, 816 00:41:54,920 --> 00:41:56,640 Speaker 1: but I think he has time to start looking at 817 00:41:56,680 --> 00:41:59,719 Speaker 1: some other defensive tackles there. Colins Malague keeps getting hurt 818 00:41:59,719 --> 00:42:02,200 Speaker 1: a lot um I could see a position in second 819 00:42:02,239 --> 00:42:05,560 Speaker 1: round that's a good one. Do you actually say yours 820 00:42:05,640 --> 00:42:09,440 Speaker 1: defensive tackle? Safety or and I don't even like saying this, 821 00:42:09,480 --> 00:42:13,040 Speaker 1: but I gotta figure out what Travis Frederick's future is, uh, 822 00:42:13,080 --> 00:42:16,759 Speaker 1: and if if the answer is, if the answer is 823 00:42:16,800 --> 00:42:19,759 Speaker 1: not good, that's something that you should consider to not 824 00:42:19,840 --> 00:42:23,160 Speaker 1: rule out wide receiver either. I understand you already got 825 00:42:23,200 --> 00:42:25,240 Speaker 1: your first round pick, but so we got four positions. 826 00:42:25,360 --> 00:42:29,919 Speaker 1: Well on the list. That's what they'll do, Investigate and educate. Dude, 827 00:42:29,960 --> 00:42:32,799 Speaker 1: you can't just lock onto one. Cole Beasley is a 828 00:42:32,840 --> 00:42:34,239 Speaker 1: free could be a free agent at the end of 829 00:42:34,239 --> 00:42:36,480 Speaker 1: the year. You gotta get you. I don't think they're 830 00:42:36,520 --> 00:42:39,360 Speaker 1: earns is long for this. You absolutely could look at receiver. 831 00:42:39,680 --> 00:42:41,799 Speaker 1: Yeah all right, well, Drery, how you guys, Thank you 832 00:42:41,800 --> 00:42:47,759 Speaker 1: so much for listening.
