<v Speaker 1>but we're here taking up talk crap about him from

<v Speaker 1>He's the boss. A good little vacation there, true, Sorry

0:00:45.440 --> 0:00:49.360
<v Speaker 1>it was somewhat of a vacation out really, but it's okay. Anyways,

0:00:49.440 --> 0:00:51.440
<v Speaker 1>we're here to talk to some Cowboys. We're gonna talk

0:00:51.440 --> 0:00:55.320
<v Speaker 1>about some of the guys were or weren't at practice today.

0:00:55.520 --> 0:00:59.920
<v Speaker 1>We'll get into the Tennessee defense and how that matchups

0:01:00.480 --> 0:01:03.800
<v Speaker 1>matches up with the Cowboys offense. But before we get

0:01:03.840 --> 0:01:07.600
<v Speaker 1>into that, obviously, the news of the changes in the

0:01:08.120 --> 0:01:13.000
<v Speaker 1>offensive line coach happened. Everyone knows about it, but yesterday

0:01:13.040 --> 0:01:15.160
<v Speaker 1>we did get to hear a few of the starters

0:01:15.520 --> 0:01:18.720
<v Speaker 1>discuss what this means for the team. And for them

0:01:19.120 --> 0:01:22.160
<v Speaker 1>seeing this change. So I wanted to I know, you

0:01:22.160 --> 0:01:26.160
<v Speaker 1>guys who was the one who wrote the story, with

0:01:26.200 --> 0:01:29.680
<v Speaker 1>an assist from my esteemed colleagues who helped. So you

0:01:30.160 --> 0:01:33.319
<v Speaker 1>heard things from Lyle Collins, Terren Smith, and Zack Martin

0:01:33.800 --> 0:01:38.600
<v Speaker 1>different opinions. It sounds like everyone had a somewhat of

0:01:38.600 --> 0:01:43.600
<v Speaker 1>a different take to it. Yeah, that's fair. It was different. Yeah,

0:01:43.640 --> 0:01:50.480
<v Speaker 1>I mean because you got Lyle Collins saying, yeah, it's everybody,

0:01:50.480 --> 0:01:53.880
<v Speaker 1>everybody across the board. You feel responsible, Yeah, of course,

0:01:53.960 --> 0:01:55.320
<v Speaker 1>you know, we all have played a part in this.

0:01:55.400 --> 0:01:57.440
<v Speaker 1>And Zach Martin, I think I wasn't in that, but

0:01:57.480 --> 0:02:00.720
<v Speaker 1>I think he said similar the great politicians Martin. Yes,

0:02:01.040 --> 0:02:03.280
<v Speaker 1>Tyrn Smith, do you feel responsible for this? No, not

0:02:03.320 --> 0:02:05.520
<v Speaker 1>at all. I don't all that's just the way it happens.

0:02:05.640 --> 0:02:08.000
<v Speaker 1>Is no one's fault. Um, it's just it's just the

0:02:08.040 --> 0:02:12.200
<v Speaker 1>way it goes a little surprised by that, actually, but um,

0:02:12.720 --> 0:02:16.480
<v Speaker 1>you know that this was not a good marriage there

0:02:16.520 --> 0:02:20.280
<v Speaker 1>at all, between this this Paul Alexander and all his

0:02:20.400 --> 0:02:23.280
<v Speaker 1>experience and coaching this Cowboys offensive line and all their

0:02:23.280 --> 0:02:25.920
<v Speaker 1>experience and accolades, it just wasn't a good fit. And

0:02:25.960 --> 0:02:28.040
<v Speaker 1>they saw that and they said we gotta we gotta change.

0:02:28.080 --> 0:02:31.240
<v Speaker 1>You can't change the line, you can change him. Yeah,

0:02:31.280 --> 0:02:34.359
<v Speaker 1>and that I mean speaking of line, kind of reading

0:02:34.360 --> 0:02:37.000
<v Speaker 1>between lines when you talk to those guys, Like Lyle

0:02:37.080 --> 0:02:39.840
<v Speaker 1>Collins was like, I don't think it's gonna be too different,

0:02:40.480 --> 0:02:42.360
<v Speaker 1>but we're gonna get back to what we used to do,

0:02:42.760 --> 0:02:48.840
<v Speaker 1>like a right, okay, And that's exactly Tyrn Smith is like,

0:02:49.600 --> 0:02:51.280
<v Speaker 1>they're like, well, what do you think needs to be better?

0:02:51.320 --> 0:02:52.680
<v Speaker 1>And he's like, I just need to work on my

0:02:52.760 --> 0:02:56.640
<v Speaker 1>technique and that's it and that's it. Yeah. Um, well

0:02:56.800 --> 0:03:00.160
<v Speaker 1>the technique was the difference between the last coach the

0:03:00.200 --> 0:03:03.079
<v Speaker 1>new coach. So he mean maybe going back to what

0:03:03.320 --> 0:03:06.680
<v Speaker 1>he was doing yes last year, Yes, exactly what he meant.

0:03:06.720 --> 0:03:09.880
<v Speaker 1>Okay now too, like it doesn't matter who the coach is,

0:03:09.880 --> 0:03:12.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm just gonna keep doing my thing. Well, I just

0:03:12.360 --> 0:03:14.960
<v Speaker 1>I don't think. I don't think these guys took to

0:03:15.000 --> 0:03:17.040
<v Speaker 1>Paul Alexander and they're not going to come out and

0:03:17.080 --> 0:03:18.840
<v Speaker 1>say that, and they shouldn't come out and say that.

0:03:19.000 --> 0:03:21.680
<v Speaker 1>But it just yeah, Nick's right, it just doesn't. It

0:03:21.680 --> 0:03:23.840
<v Speaker 1>didn't seem like it was a great relationship from the

0:03:23.880 --> 0:03:27.880
<v Speaker 1>get I will say excuse me. Um. I thought what

0:03:28.000 --> 0:03:31.720
<v Speaker 1>was really interesting is all of these guys call Mark

0:03:31.760 --> 0:03:35.520
<v Speaker 1>Colombo Colombo like that, Like it sounded like they were

0:03:35.560 --> 0:03:39.320
<v Speaker 1>talking about their bro you know, like uh, um, Lyle

0:03:39.360 --> 0:03:42.360
<v Speaker 1>Collins called Paul Alexander coach Paul and then he's like, yeah,

0:03:42.440 --> 0:03:44.480
<v Speaker 1>but you know Colombo like he's been in the huddle

0:03:44.520 --> 0:03:46.760
<v Speaker 1>before he gets it. And I was just like, you

0:03:46.760 --> 0:03:48.840
<v Speaker 1>guys sound like you're talking about your bro, because like

0:03:48.880 --> 0:03:51.360
<v Speaker 1>that's my my bros call me hellman, you know, like

0:03:51.400 --> 0:03:54.120
<v Speaker 1>that's a dude thing. And uh So I think I

0:03:54.160 --> 0:03:56.080
<v Speaker 1>think there is a chemistry there. I think they really

0:03:56.120 --> 0:03:58.240
<v Speaker 1>like him and want to play for that. That can

0:03:58.320 --> 0:04:00.440
<v Speaker 1>be good and bad. You know, it can be for sure,

0:04:00.520 --> 0:04:02.600
<v Speaker 1>because now you know he's the coach. He's not just

0:04:02.680 --> 0:04:05.560
<v Speaker 1>kind of like I'm the GA assistant. You know, I

0:04:06.560 --> 0:04:08.560
<v Speaker 1>I'll talk to Paul, guys, I'll talk about you. No,

0:04:08.560 --> 0:04:12.560
<v Speaker 1>now you're the guy, right, and so that I there.

0:04:12.600 --> 0:04:14.600
<v Speaker 1>You know, there could be some good there, there could

0:04:14.600 --> 0:04:17.400
<v Speaker 1>be some bad. We'll see how how Mark handles that.

0:04:17.480 --> 0:04:19.680
<v Speaker 1>I mean a lot more responsibility. We were kind of

0:04:19.839 --> 0:04:23.279
<v Speaker 1>talking to some people yesterday about that, and they you know,

0:04:23.320 --> 0:04:25.080
<v Speaker 1>basically said, you know, he needs to kind of calm

0:04:25.160 --> 0:04:28.240
<v Speaker 1>down a little bit. You know, he's that he's that fiery,

0:04:29.040 --> 0:04:31.039
<v Speaker 1>get back coach type of guy. Even though he's up

0:04:31.080 --> 0:04:32.960
<v Speaker 1>in the booth, which he's not anymore, he'll be down

0:04:32.960 --> 0:04:35.280
<v Speaker 1>on the field and he needs to kind of to

0:04:35.800 --> 0:04:37.840
<v Speaker 1>be able to handle some some issues. So this is

0:04:37.839 --> 0:04:39.680
<v Speaker 1>gonna be a good opportunity for him. And this is

0:04:39.680 --> 0:04:42.120
<v Speaker 1>what coaches, This is why they grind, they spend all

0:04:42.120 --> 0:04:43.839
<v Speaker 1>those hours so they can be a position coach. This

0:04:43.920 --> 0:04:46.080
<v Speaker 1>is a great opportunity for him. That's what Tyron Smith

0:04:46.120 --> 0:04:48.040
<v Speaker 1>said too. He was like, this is a huge opportunity

0:04:48.080 --> 0:04:50.400
<v Speaker 1>for Colombo to get this thing moving in the right direction,

0:04:50.520 --> 0:04:52.440
<v Speaker 1>and you know, who knows what it could mean for

0:04:52.520 --> 0:04:55.279
<v Speaker 1>him in the future. So and hopefully it does work out,

0:04:55.360 --> 0:04:59.600
<v Speaker 1>because then you got a real problem there, because who

0:04:59.640 --> 0:05:02.200
<v Speaker 1>do you only fingers to the players now, right? I

0:05:02.200 --> 0:05:06.040
<v Speaker 1>would assume well, I mean, if it doesn't work out

0:05:06.040 --> 0:05:07.600
<v Speaker 1>with him, if they if they don't get right right,

0:05:07.640 --> 0:05:10.680
<v Speaker 1>if you don't see any type of improvement there, I

0:05:10.720 --> 0:05:13.960
<v Speaker 1>think I think though you would. That's more so the

0:05:14.000 --> 0:05:16.840
<v Speaker 1>case with like the Marii Cooper trade, because it's like

0:05:17.279 --> 0:05:20.880
<v Speaker 1>this guy is considered a really great wide receiver and

0:05:20.920 --> 0:05:22.520
<v Speaker 1>if it doesn't work out, then what's the issue. But

0:05:22.600 --> 0:05:25.400
<v Speaker 1>if it doesn't work out offensive line, they're like, Okay,

0:05:25.400 --> 0:05:28.400
<v Speaker 1>we need to get a veteran coach maybe just because

0:05:28.400 --> 0:05:31.160
<v Speaker 1>then again, you've seen those guys have success, yeah, in

0:05:31.200 --> 0:05:33.600
<v Speaker 1>the past. I mean if you have to look at

0:05:33.600 --> 0:05:35.320
<v Speaker 1>the players too, though, I mean, if it doesn't get

0:05:35.360 --> 0:05:38.280
<v Speaker 1>any better, it makes you wonder. I mean, it makes

0:05:38.279 --> 0:05:40.520
<v Speaker 1>you wonder about your tackles for sure, maybe not to

0:05:40.560 --> 0:05:43.560
<v Speaker 1>the point that it's like this insane need, but you know,

0:05:43.640 --> 0:05:46.279
<v Speaker 1>this team hasn't been worried about offensive tackle and yeah

0:05:46.400 --> 0:05:50.000
<v Speaker 1>a long time. So yeah, we'll see. Well, now, I

0:05:50.040 --> 0:05:52.480
<v Speaker 1>didn't want to bring this up because I think it's stupid,

0:05:52.520 --> 0:05:56.000
<v Speaker 1>but then someone told me to about Okay, Jason Garrett

0:05:56.040 --> 0:06:02.039
<v Speaker 1>and the World Series. Why well, I mean yeah, why oh,

0:06:02.080 --> 0:06:03.919
<v Speaker 1>I mean I don't know. I mean I think that

0:06:04.120 --> 0:06:06.919
<v Speaker 1>I mean, he I'm at what. Yeah, he got to

0:06:06.960 --> 0:06:08.560
<v Speaker 1>talk about it for the first time. He got asked

0:06:08.600 --> 0:06:10.480
<v Speaker 1>a lot of questions about it, you know, and then

0:06:11.000 --> 0:06:15.120
<v Speaker 1>he got asked about that, Yeah, something that happened, he said,

0:06:15.160 --> 0:06:19.039
<v Speaker 1>I mean, he he, I mean, he's I think I

0:06:19.080 --> 0:06:21.280
<v Speaker 1>timed him like his answer was like three minutes long,

0:06:21.400 --> 0:06:23.800
<v Speaker 1>just talking about that's what you do on them by

0:06:23.880 --> 0:06:27.080
<v Speaker 1>week like that's yeah, you take time away, try to recharge,

0:06:27.120 --> 0:06:30.320
<v Speaker 1>get away from the game. Uh, relax a little bit,

0:06:30.800 --> 0:06:32.760
<v Speaker 1>refocus yourself and think. You know, he had this whole

0:06:32.760 --> 0:06:34.560
<v Speaker 1>spiel about like beach guys should go to the beach

0:06:34.560 --> 0:06:36.919
<v Speaker 1>and mountain guys should go to the mountains. I was like, oh, damn, okay,

0:06:36.920 --> 0:06:39.919
<v Speaker 1>well you're guys. You're a baseball guy. I guess sure,

0:06:40.080 --> 0:06:43.720
<v Speaker 1>go to the game. I let's say that. What I'm

0:06:43.720 --> 0:06:45.919
<v Speaker 1>just saying, don't don't say that. Then that sounds like

0:06:45.920 --> 0:06:47.960
<v Speaker 1>baseball guys should go to the baseball game. I mean

0:06:48.440 --> 0:06:52.400
<v Speaker 1>baseball fans. I guess, yeah, that's fine. He's got basically,

0:06:52.480 --> 0:06:55.480
<v Speaker 1>do what you want. What do you enjoy doing in

0:06:55.520 --> 0:06:58.000
<v Speaker 1>your off time? And I agree with that one thousand percent.

0:06:58.040 --> 0:07:00.960
<v Speaker 1>And if anybody, if anyone stayed in work the whole

0:07:01.000 --> 0:07:04.359
<v Speaker 1>time during their off time and their weekends and all that,

0:07:04.400 --> 0:07:07.200
<v Speaker 1>if they do that, then they should be able to say, no,

0:07:07.279 --> 0:07:09.320
<v Speaker 1>that's not how you do it. But if they if

0:07:09.360 --> 0:07:11.440
<v Speaker 1>they take time off and not do things that are

0:07:11.840 --> 0:07:14.520
<v Speaker 1>you know, for your job, it doesn't matter where you

0:07:14.560 --> 0:07:16.200
<v Speaker 1>see it's really, I mean, it doesn't I don't think

0:07:16.240 --> 0:07:18.400
<v Speaker 1>it matters. I don't think it matters at all. I

0:07:18.400 --> 0:07:21.280
<v Speaker 1>don't think there's a perception issue at all. From that,

0:07:21.360 --> 0:07:24.840
<v Speaker 1>I think the perception issues way before that. Yeah, and

0:07:24.880 --> 0:07:28.400
<v Speaker 1>then I mean he he no commented on the Jimmy

0:07:28.480 --> 0:07:31.600
<v Speaker 1>Johnson stuff. He's like, I respect coach Johnson a lot.

0:07:31.960 --> 0:07:35.960
<v Speaker 1>It's pretty much all he said. So yeah, that's yeah,

0:07:36.280 --> 0:07:39.239
<v Speaker 1>I would I think people are just like making issues

0:07:39.240 --> 0:07:42.320
<v Speaker 1>out of something really dumb and simple. It's like you

0:07:42.680 --> 0:07:46.120
<v Speaker 1>try to turn something into bigger issue than his shoe.

0:07:46.160 --> 0:07:48.760
<v Speaker 1>That's I mean, that's what I said Monday. That's that's

0:07:48.800 --> 0:07:51.000
<v Speaker 1>what That's part of the deal. Like, you can roll

0:07:51.040 --> 0:07:53.360
<v Speaker 1>your eyes at it all you want, but like fans

0:07:53.400 --> 0:07:55.920
<v Speaker 1>spend a ton of money to go to these games,

0:07:55.960 --> 0:07:58.160
<v Speaker 1>and they pour their heart and soul into this team.

0:07:58.520 --> 0:08:01.080
<v Speaker 1>They you know, it affects their mood for weeks on end.

0:08:01.120 --> 0:08:04.400
<v Speaker 1>They care a lot. They freaking listen to twenty five

0:08:04.440 --> 0:08:07.200
<v Speaker 1>hours of podcast that we put out. So if they're

0:08:07.200 --> 0:08:09.440
<v Speaker 1>frustrated because they think the coach is bad and he

0:08:09.520 --> 0:08:12.960
<v Speaker 1>doesn't look like he's focusing enough like that, they're well

0:08:13.000 --> 0:08:14.480
<v Speaker 1>within their right to do that. That That doesn't mean I

0:08:14.520 --> 0:08:17.640
<v Speaker 1>agree with them, but Jason Garrett's being paid five million

0:08:17.680 --> 0:08:19.440
<v Speaker 1>dollars a year to be the coach of the Cowboys,

0:08:19.480 --> 0:08:23.080
<v Speaker 1>and that goes along with it. Yeah, you know, you know,

0:08:23.280 --> 0:08:25.760
<v Speaker 1>I kind of had a slight change of opinion in

0:08:25.840 --> 0:08:31.120
<v Speaker 1>the last thirty seconds. But because so many times when

0:08:31.240 --> 0:08:35.400
<v Speaker 1>we talk about fans perspective, I really tried to flip

0:08:35.400 --> 0:08:37.600
<v Speaker 1>it and be a fan. And I haven't really been

0:08:37.640 --> 0:08:39.600
<v Speaker 1>a fan of the Cowboys in like twenty years, so

0:08:39.640 --> 0:08:41.960
<v Speaker 1>it's harder to do that. But we're all a fan

0:08:42.040 --> 0:08:44.080
<v Speaker 1>of other things. You're a fan of the LSU, of course,

0:08:44.640 --> 0:08:47.800
<v Speaker 1>I'm a fan of Arkansas and other teams or whatever,

0:08:48.679 --> 0:08:50.360
<v Speaker 1>and you try to like, Okay, what if I was

0:08:50.400 --> 0:08:52.760
<v Speaker 1>a fan, what would I like? And I've had a

0:08:52.800 --> 0:08:56.440
<v Speaker 1>similar conversation about this, I guess in the last few weeks.

0:08:56.440 --> 0:08:58.840
<v Speaker 1>And I think Dave was actually with me when that happened,

0:08:58.840 --> 0:09:01.800
<v Speaker 1>when I would kind of question and a coaching move,

0:09:01.880 --> 0:09:05.320
<v Speaker 1>it's a good point from my team and what decision

0:09:05.360 --> 0:09:06.800
<v Speaker 1>that that coach may. I don't need to get into

0:09:06.840 --> 0:09:08.640
<v Speaker 1>it all because I don't know all the details, but

0:09:08.679 --> 0:09:11.280
<v Speaker 1>as a fan, you're frustrated of him as a coach,

0:09:11.600 --> 0:09:14.319
<v Speaker 1>and then you start finding other things of what why

0:09:14.360 --> 0:09:17.480
<v Speaker 1>you're upset about. So I get it. Actually I didn't

0:09:17.480 --> 0:09:19.360
<v Speaker 1>really get it two minutes ago, but I get it

0:09:19.400 --> 0:09:21.360
<v Speaker 1>a little bit more now of why they would do that.

0:09:21.679 --> 0:09:25.440
<v Speaker 1>But it doesn't stem from anything other than they just

0:09:25.480 --> 0:09:28.320
<v Speaker 1>wish you had a different coach and you find little things. Absolutely,

0:09:28.360 --> 0:09:30.800
<v Speaker 1>I mean, but that's part of your right as a

0:09:30.800 --> 0:09:33.520
<v Speaker 1>fan like you don't you don't really have a say

0:09:33.559 --> 0:09:35.319
<v Speaker 1>in what's going on. So if you want to dog

0:09:35.360 --> 0:09:37.000
<v Speaker 1>cuss the coach for being in a World Series game,

0:09:37.080 --> 0:09:38.920
<v Speaker 1>go right ahead. Again, I don't think you're right for

0:09:39.040 --> 0:09:43.240
<v Speaker 1>doing it, but whatever. And Jason, Jason Garrett is wealth

0:09:43.280 --> 0:09:44.920
<v Speaker 1>and his right to not give a damn what anybody

0:09:44.920 --> 0:09:46.600
<v Speaker 1>thinks as long as his boss is okay with it.

0:09:46.800 --> 0:09:50.600
<v Speaker 1>Because if Sean McVeigh is sitting, you know, courtside at

0:09:50.679 --> 0:09:53.679
<v Speaker 1>everybody would think it was incredible a game or something

0:09:53.720 --> 0:09:56.559
<v Speaker 1>like that. Look at our swaggy coach hanging out with Lebron,

0:09:56.720 --> 0:09:59.640
<v Speaker 1>he's the best. Yeah. It's just it's all about whether

0:09:59.720 --> 0:10:01.280
<v Speaker 1>or not you're doing the job, that's right. It's about

0:10:01.320 --> 0:10:04.439
<v Speaker 1>whether you're winning. Well, what this discussion was happening. The

0:10:04.559 --> 0:10:12.280
<v Speaker 1>Cowboys did make a transaction recently, and this one they

0:10:12.320 --> 0:10:17.480
<v Speaker 1>signed cornerback Trust and I was im, I'm like, I'm like,

0:10:17.520 --> 0:10:19.280
<v Speaker 1>what's weird about that? And then I'm like, oh, yeah,

0:10:19.280 --> 0:10:23.720
<v Speaker 1>I'm from South Louisiana. That's why truston decoup. The second

0:10:23.800 --> 0:10:26.520
<v Speaker 1>D is silent Um. I could have asked you this

0:10:26.600 --> 0:10:29.959
<v Speaker 1>question like in the last three hours, but I didn't.

0:10:30.360 --> 0:10:34.080
<v Speaker 1>So you're going to LSU Alabama thurday night. I will

0:10:34.120 --> 0:10:36.480
<v Speaker 1>be there. I hope you're feeling good on Sunday morning

0:10:36.520 --> 0:10:40.720
<v Speaker 1>for other for various reasons, we'll see. I'm not supertimistic,

0:10:40.920 --> 0:10:43.640
<v Speaker 1>but I mean two of the best football games in

0:10:43.679 --> 0:10:46.080
<v Speaker 1>the world are happening in state of Louisiana this week.

0:10:46.120 --> 0:10:48.040
<v Speaker 1>You could that you're going to go to that game.

0:10:48.160 --> 0:10:50.720
<v Speaker 1>I know I don't have time. It's I mean the

0:10:50.760 --> 0:10:53.080
<v Speaker 1>Saints and Rams. Saints and Rams is I think my

0:10:53.160 --> 0:10:54.760
<v Speaker 1>flight back here is at like four, and I think

0:10:54.800 --> 0:10:57.760
<v Speaker 1>that game kicks off at three thirty plus I'm gonna

0:10:57.800 --> 0:11:02.880
<v Speaker 1>I'm bankrupting myself to go to this shoe games. So priorities, Um,

0:11:03.320 --> 0:11:05.560
<v Speaker 1>if you get a two one, it's about us. Yeah.

0:11:05.600 --> 0:11:07.920
<v Speaker 1>It's about as big of a weekend in Louisiana sports

0:11:07.960 --> 0:11:10.280
<v Speaker 1>history as there is as there's been in a long time,

0:11:10.320 --> 0:11:12.560
<v Speaker 1>that's for sure. Um, he had a good tweet the

0:11:12.600 --> 0:11:16.360
<v Speaker 1>other day about that game, about that Rams Saints game.

0:11:16.360 --> 0:11:18.400
<v Speaker 1>I mean the let us let us thing since Clarkris

0:11:18.440 --> 0:11:23.040
<v Speaker 1>Walt's house, for sure. Um. Anyways, trust in day Coup.

0:11:23.160 --> 0:11:28.760
<v Speaker 1>He's a he's a Day three what just gotta sometimes

0:11:28.800 --> 0:11:31.840
<v Speaker 1>just gotta drive it over onto the rumble strips. It's fine. Um,

0:11:32.800 --> 0:11:34.640
<v Speaker 1>he's he's a Day three draft pick. I think he

0:11:34.679 --> 0:11:37.720
<v Speaker 1>went to Oregon State. Uh, he was with the Texans.

0:11:37.840 --> 0:11:39.520
<v Speaker 1>Cowboys picked him up at the start of the season.

0:11:39.559 --> 0:11:42.360
<v Speaker 1>He's been hanging out on the practice squad. C J

0:11:42.720 --> 0:11:46.040
<v Speaker 1>Goodwin ye. Uh. He broke his arm in the last game.

0:11:46.200 --> 0:11:49.400
<v Speaker 1>So he's he's your last cornerback on the depth chart. Now,

0:11:49.520 --> 0:11:53.720
<v Speaker 1>they could have brought Donovan a Lumba, Yeah, and kind

0:11:53.720 --> 0:11:56.040
<v Speaker 1>of surprised, but you know, he hasn't got to look yet.

0:11:56.040 --> 0:11:59.120
<v Speaker 1>Tyree Robinson's another guy they could have brought up as

0:11:59.120 --> 0:12:00.520
<v Speaker 1>it because this guy's go to play a lot of

0:12:00.559 --> 0:12:03.320
<v Speaker 1>special teams. Robinson was on the team for two weeks

0:12:03.400 --> 0:12:06.280
<v Speaker 1>and didn't play in anither the game active and didn't play.

0:12:06.400 --> 0:12:08.880
<v Speaker 1>It's kind of hard to do. Yeah, that's just no.

0:12:09.000 --> 0:12:10.600
<v Speaker 1>If you're on the Yeah. If you're on the forty

0:12:10.640 --> 0:12:12.080
<v Speaker 1>six and you don't get in the game, you're not

0:12:12.120 --> 0:12:14.360
<v Speaker 1>a quarterback. Yeah, I mean, you would think you could

0:12:14.400 --> 0:12:17.040
<v Speaker 1>do something these guys. You know, Cavan Frasier's giving up

0:12:17.040 --> 0:12:19.360
<v Speaker 1>touchdowns on defense, he's kind of tired. You would think,

0:12:19.559 --> 0:12:21.160
<v Speaker 1>you know, maybe we could put Robinson in on this

0:12:21.200 --> 0:12:25.120
<v Speaker 1>punk team. No, no, not putting him in pun punt team.

0:12:25.440 --> 0:12:29.120
<v Speaker 1>Sounding like punk. It was I'm not want to speak

0:12:29.559 --> 0:12:33.960
<v Speaker 1>comes the pronunciation, But the club also designated wide receiver

0:12:34.080 --> 0:12:42.040
<v Speaker 1>Noah Brown returns lead with this. You guys, I'm so high.

0:12:42.240 --> 0:12:46.040
<v Speaker 1>Noah Brown is coming back. It's coming back. Explaining the

0:12:46.080 --> 0:12:49.120
<v Speaker 1>fascination with Noah Brown, I mean, at this point, if

0:12:49.200 --> 0:12:52.120
<v Speaker 1>he if he just had like really short hair, it's

0:12:52.280 --> 0:12:54.680
<v Speaker 1>not he had short hair when he got dropped. What

0:12:54.800 --> 0:12:56.160
<v Speaker 1>is it? Is it because he looks like a tight

0:12:56.280 --> 0:12:59.240
<v Speaker 1>end at this point. It's cool. At this point, it's

0:12:59.280 --> 0:13:02.520
<v Speaker 1>fifty percent because what you've seen from him on the

0:13:02.559 --> 0:13:05.600
<v Speaker 1>field and you want to see more. He yes, Okay,

0:13:05.640 --> 0:13:09.200
<v Speaker 1>it don't even start. Don't even pull out stats. How

0:13:09.240 --> 0:13:11.280
<v Speaker 1>can you say, don't even pull out stats when you

0:13:11.320 --> 0:13:13.040
<v Speaker 1>just said it's what he's doing on the field. He's

0:13:13.080 --> 0:13:16.200
<v Speaker 1>bare he's barely played. I'm the idiot for being excited.

0:13:16.400 --> 0:13:19.240
<v Speaker 1>Not that's what I'm saying, though, No, no, no, I'm

0:13:19.280 --> 0:13:22.199
<v Speaker 1>saying when I for me. For example, when I got

0:13:22.200 --> 0:13:24.760
<v Speaker 1>to see him on the field the very few times

0:13:24.800 --> 0:13:30.199
<v Speaker 1>that we did four times for catches, that I still

0:13:30.559 --> 0:13:33.880
<v Speaker 1>saw little sparks of him that made me want to

0:13:33.880 --> 0:13:36.840
<v Speaker 1>see more. That's what I'm getting at. He has been

0:13:36.840 --> 0:13:39.520
<v Speaker 1>an intriguing player from the time he got drafted he

0:13:39.720 --> 0:13:42.120
<v Speaker 1>left Ohio State. I don't want to put words in

0:13:42.160 --> 0:13:45.040
<v Speaker 1>his mouth, but it was not a wide receiver friendly scheme.

0:13:45.120 --> 0:13:47.840
<v Speaker 1>I think he was frustrated. He goes in the draft,

0:13:47.920 --> 0:13:51.920
<v Speaker 1>he falls because he doesn't have the resume. Basically, he's

0:13:52.240 --> 0:13:55.480
<v Speaker 1>he is a he has got that Dez Bryant type build.

0:13:55.480 --> 0:13:59.720
<v Speaker 1>He's six two, probably two eighteen or two twenty. He

0:13:59.760 --> 0:14:01.680
<v Speaker 1>can jump, he can run. I mean, he's not like

0:14:01.720 --> 0:14:04.960
<v Speaker 1>a burner, but he's got moves and you saw it

0:14:05.000 --> 0:14:07.080
<v Speaker 1>in the preseason. You didn't see a ton of it

0:14:07.280 --> 0:14:10.400
<v Speaker 1>in the regular season. But all that goes to he's

0:14:10.400 --> 0:14:12.360
<v Speaker 1>a good blocker. He can do a lot of things

0:14:12.360 --> 0:14:14.240
<v Speaker 1>the Cowboys want their wide receivers to do in the

0:14:14.320 --> 0:14:17.920
<v Speaker 1>run game, and I think He's unique in that he's

0:14:17.960 --> 0:14:20.640
<v Speaker 1>got a different build from every other receiver out there.

0:14:20.720 --> 0:14:23.480
<v Speaker 1>He's capable of boxing defenders out. I know the back

0:14:23.520 --> 0:14:26.720
<v Speaker 1>shoulder ball isn't It's probably not Dak Prescott's best throw,

0:14:26.880 --> 0:14:29.360
<v Speaker 1>but he still is a He's a better guy to

0:14:29.440 --> 0:14:31.160
<v Speaker 1>do that type of stuff with than a lot of

0:14:31.160 --> 0:14:33.840
<v Speaker 1>these other guys. Like I said, he can box DB's

0:14:33.880 --> 0:14:36.720
<v Speaker 1>out on slants and comebacks and things like that. I

0:14:36.760 --> 0:14:39.360
<v Speaker 1>just think he's got a lot of potential and fifty

0:14:39.400 --> 0:14:42.240
<v Speaker 1>percent of it is stick slash hype because we haven't

0:14:42.280 --> 0:14:44.520
<v Speaker 1>seen him in so long. He didn't practice once at

0:14:44.520 --> 0:14:47.200
<v Speaker 1>training camp. He was on his hand. He flared up

0:14:47.280 --> 0:14:50.520
<v Speaker 1>like the first afternoon we were there. So I just

0:14:51.360 --> 0:14:53.600
<v Speaker 1>I like his story, I like his skill set. I'm

0:14:53.600 --> 0:14:55.880
<v Speaker 1>excited to see him get a chance. The one thing

0:14:56.000 --> 0:14:59.880
<v Speaker 1>that everyone loved about Dez is just the type of

0:15:00.400 --> 0:15:03.120
<v Speaker 1>you know player he was with with that you know build,

0:15:03.240 --> 0:15:06.120
<v Speaker 1>and every time he was out there, it did look

0:15:06.200 --> 0:15:10.240
<v Speaker 1>like from our view, looked like it was another time

0:15:10.240 --> 0:15:14.680
<v Speaker 1>in the off season. Um we were sitting there eating

0:15:14.920 --> 0:15:16.800
<v Speaker 1>and I don't remember exactly who it was, but it

0:15:16.840 --> 0:15:21.160
<v Speaker 1>was like, why is Jalen Smith running routes from dak

0:15:21.160 --> 0:15:24.360
<v Speaker 1>He looks pretty good. Yeah he's back because this guy's

0:15:24.440 --> 0:15:27.520
<v Speaker 1>running route. No, that's Noah Brown. So that just goes

0:15:27.520 --> 0:15:30.760
<v Speaker 1>to show how Brown is. I've forgotten. I've forgotten that

0:15:30.800 --> 0:15:33.000
<v Speaker 1>because we I mean, he hasn't been a part of

0:15:33.000 --> 0:15:34.880
<v Speaker 1>the conversation and so long. But you know, we gave

0:15:34.960 --> 0:15:36.960
<v Speaker 1>Lance Lenore so much credit for how much time he

0:15:37.040 --> 0:15:39.000
<v Speaker 1>spent there in the off season. Noah Brown was right

0:15:39.040 --> 0:15:42.960
<v Speaker 1>there with him. Noah Brown was here on Valentine's Day

0:15:43.080 --> 0:15:46.240
<v Speaker 1>and every day after that working. So yeah, I root

0:15:46.320 --> 0:15:49.280
<v Speaker 1>for the guy. Um, it is worth pointing out a

0:15:49.280 --> 0:15:52.720
<v Speaker 1>couple things. They opened his practice window, so that doesn't

0:15:52.720 --> 0:15:54.760
<v Speaker 1>mean he'll be on the roster for the Titans game.

0:15:54.800 --> 0:15:57.640
<v Speaker 1>They have three weeks to evaluate him before they have

0:15:57.720 --> 0:16:00.000
<v Speaker 1>to move him to the active roster, so he doesn't

0:16:00.400 --> 0:16:02.520
<v Speaker 1>If he comes back, he doesn't have to be for

0:16:02.720 --> 0:16:05.160
<v Speaker 1>three more games, I believe, or maybe two more games.

0:16:05.440 --> 0:16:09.240
<v Speaker 1>Them and that also are somewhere. That also means that

0:16:09.280 --> 0:16:12.360
<v Speaker 1>they've used one of their ir to return slots. So

0:16:13.160 --> 0:16:15.920
<v Speaker 1>one of the two of Travis Frederick or Terrence Williams

0:16:16.000 --> 0:16:18.240
<v Speaker 1>is definitely done for the year. Like they can only

0:16:18.240 --> 0:16:22.760
<v Speaker 1>bring one more guy back. So and daytone Jones. Daytone

0:16:22.800 --> 0:16:27.080
<v Speaker 1>Jones is another one. Yeah you forgetting that. Actually you

0:16:27.160 --> 0:16:30.160
<v Speaker 1>know that may actually be something that they consider something

0:16:30.200 --> 0:16:31.920
<v Speaker 1>to watch. Yeah, show you why in a couple of

0:16:32.000 --> 0:16:33.960
<v Speaker 1>all right, well let's take our first break and when

0:18:13.680 --> 0:18:16.760
<v Speaker 1>find out what he's made of. That's why the Cowboys

0:18:16.800 --> 0:18:19.840
<v Speaker 1>rely on more than just stats and scouting reports when

0:18:43.520 --> 0:18:47.679
<v Speaker 1>the second segment of the break. Now still questions about

0:18:48.320 --> 0:18:54.120
<v Speaker 1>Jeff Swain, Randy Gregory, Zack Martin. Also, I've seen people

0:18:54.119 --> 0:18:57.360
<v Speaker 1>asking about Cheetah Baboozier, so I wanted to check out

0:18:57.359 --> 0:18:59.640
<v Speaker 1>what you guys were able to see in today's practice.

0:19:00.560 --> 0:19:03.240
<v Speaker 1>Not a lot, because it's just I mean, it's fifteen

0:19:03.280 --> 0:19:06.320
<v Speaker 1>minutes where they run pattent go. But Jeff Swaim was

0:19:06.400 --> 0:19:09.520
<v Speaker 1>not there, Randy Gregory was not there, Zach Martin was

0:19:09.560 --> 0:19:13.400
<v Speaker 1>not there. Cheeto's there. I mean it's always something to watch,

0:19:13.480 --> 0:19:16.440
<v Speaker 1>for sure, But I mean, Cheeto he made it through

0:19:16.480 --> 0:19:19.360
<v Speaker 1>the last game and he had a week off, so

0:19:19.400 --> 0:19:24.359
<v Speaker 1>I'm not super worried about him. But Swim, I'm not

0:19:24.400 --> 0:19:26.520
<v Speaker 1>really worried about Zach Martin either, Like I'll believe he's

0:19:26.520 --> 0:19:30.160
<v Speaker 1>not going to play when he doesn't play. But so

0:19:30.200 --> 0:19:33.119
<v Speaker 1>Swim and Gregory are really two guys that I'm watching

0:19:33.119 --> 0:19:36.440
<v Speaker 1>as the week goes along, which just remember we talk

0:19:36.520 --> 0:19:38.840
<v Speaker 1>about this a lot, but you know, to the people

0:19:38.840 --> 0:19:41.800
<v Speaker 1>that are listening, they the weekends almost here for them

0:19:41.840 --> 0:19:44.879
<v Speaker 1>because it is Thursday, right, this is still Wednesday practice

0:19:44.920 --> 0:19:47.719
<v Speaker 1>for the Cowboys, and it's very normal for guys not

0:19:47.800 --> 0:19:50.680
<v Speaker 1>to do anything on Wednesday, but then easing to practice

0:19:50.720 --> 0:19:53.399
<v Speaker 1>Thursday Friday, as far as the Cowboys are concerned, just

0:19:53.440 --> 0:19:57.560
<v Speaker 1>set your week back a day pretty much. I mean like, yeah,

0:19:57.640 --> 0:20:00.080
<v Speaker 1>like I tweeted that out of Garrett's press conference that

0:20:00.119 --> 0:20:02.520
<v Speaker 1>Swayin wasn't going to practice and so we're doing a

0:20:02.520 --> 0:20:07.080
<v Speaker 1>show already. No, no, we're not doing a pailgate Saturday. Uh.

0:20:07.520 --> 0:20:10.880
<v Speaker 1>People were like they're like, come on, Garrett, it's Thursday already.

0:20:10.880 --> 0:20:13.119
<v Speaker 1>Like if you gotta get somebody else right, Like, no,

0:20:13.359 --> 0:20:16.320
<v Speaker 1>calm down, there's still there's three more practice to go.

0:20:16.640 --> 0:20:19.480
<v Speaker 1>Like argue with someone, like really like fight with someone,

0:20:19.600 --> 0:20:22.120
<v Speaker 1>like back in the coaching office, you know, like, no,

0:20:22.680 --> 0:20:25.639
<v Speaker 1>it is Wednesday, Like who was it yesterday that we

0:20:25.800 --> 0:20:28.600
<v Speaker 1>walked by and was like, oh, you should have saved

0:20:28.600 --> 0:20:32.560
<v Speaker 1>that outfit for Wednesday. I'm like, it is Wednesday. But yeah,

0:20:32.680 --> 0:20:35.639
<v Speaker 1>talking about like a Wednesday football sketch. Yeah, he was

0:20:35.680 --> 0:20:38.760
<v Speaker 1>already Yeah, that's right, he was already thinking this is

0:20:38.760 --> 0:20:44.399
<v Speaker 1>not Wednesday. Have a great Wednesday. Yeah, yeah, thank you, Jason.

0:20:44.760 --> 0:20:48.440
<v Speaker 1>So out of these two, which is what he's saying today, yeah,

0:20:48.440 --> 0:20:52.080
<v Speaker 1>pretty much. So which out of these two? Obviously swayn

0:20:52.240 --> 0:20:54.720
<v Speaker 1>would be the biggest question. But as far as Randy

0:20:54.760 --> 0:20:58.200
<v Speaker 1>Gregory and I know, it's two elding the week but

0:20:58.880 --> 0:21:02.040
<v Speaker 1>based on the siegure he had and all that, is

0:21:02.040 --> 0:21:05.879
<v Speaker 1>it possible or likable for him to actually do something

0:21:05.920 --> 0:21:09.280
<v Speaker 1>this weekend? Yeah, I mean I think it's possible. Again,

0:21:09.320 --> 0:21:11.560
<v Speaker 1>I mean, you know, it's for the fifth time it's

0:21:11.640 --> 0:21:14.160
<v Speaker 1>Wednesday in their world, So I mean that's it's very

0:21:14.200 --> 0:21:17.800
<v Speaker 1>normal for a veteran player to miss a Wednesday practice.

0:21:17.920 --> 0:21:21.119
<v Speaker 1>It's you know, the Thursday Friday practice is going to

0:21:21.200 --> 0:21:23.719
<v Speaker 1>be the telling one. And then obviously over the weekend.

0:21:23.760 --> 0:21:26.040
<v Speaker 1>I mean it seems crazy to me that you can

0:21:26.080 --> 0:21:28.040
<v Speaker 1>have a nice scope. I don't get you know, Derek

0:21:28.200 --> 0:21:30.160
<v Speaker 1>tried to argue with me that it's my like, oh,

0:21:30.200 --> 0:21:34.239
<v Speaker 1>that's not surgery. Like if somebody's inserting metal objects into

0:21:34.280 --> 0:21:38.240
<v Speaker 1>your body, it's surgery. So it's something to watch. I'll be.

0:21:38.600 --> 0:21:40.240
<v Speaker 1>I'll be kind of impressed if he can go. But

0:21:40.560 --> 0:21:43.280
<v Speaker 1>just just think about all injuries that you have, whether

0:21:43.280 --> 0:21:46.000
<v Speaker 1>it be small, you know, sprain or cut or whatever,

0:21:46.160 --> 0:21:50.200
<v Speaker 1>twenty seven to thirty hours later. And most games are

0:21:50.200 --> 0:21:52.600
<v Speaker 1>play at noon or three o'clock on Sunday, you know,

0:21:52.800 --> 0:21:55.400
<v Speaker 1>but when you're when you're playing at seven o'clock Monday night,

0:21:55.680 --> 0:21:58.879
<v Speaker 1>I mean that's twenty seven or thirty hours more, you

0:21:58.880 --> 0:22:01.639
<v Speaker 1>know later on a lot of things can change in

0:22:01.720 --> 0:22:05.040
<v Speaker 1>that time. Now I understand that, you know, surgery for

0:22:05.040 --> 0:22:07.439
<v Speaker 1>for Gregory. I would not expect Gregory to play in

0:22:07.480 --> 0:22:10.720
<v Speaker 1>this game, but somebody like Swain, I mean, a Monday

0:22:10.800 --> 0:22:13.080
<v Speaker 1>night game is different, obviously different than Sunday, and it

0:22:13.200 --> 0:22:15.240
<v Speaker 1>really in our mind it's like, well it's almost the

0:22:15.320 --> 0:22:17.000
<v Speaker 1>end of the week, but he's still got a lot

0:22:17.040 --> 0:22:19.159
<v Speaker 1>of time. I wouldn't be surprised if if that's a

0:22:19.200 --> 0:22:22.520
<v Speaker 1>whole extra day you get to him. Get right, Yeah,

0:22:22.560 --> 0:22:26.040
<v Speaker 1>all right, now let's move on to the Tennessee defense.

0:22:26.240 --> 0:22:32.360
<v Speaker 1>You okay, Um, hopefully this is bad. Um. I mean,

0:22:32.440 --> 0:22:37.760
<v Speaker 1>I'm saying they das report, But honestly, when I think

0:22:37.800 --> 0:22:40.080
<v Speaker 1>of the Titans defense, like I just think of like

0:22:40.160 --> 0:22:42.960
<v Speaker 1>Javan Curse or hands Worth. That's Nick is Nick is

0:22:43.000 --> 0:22:45.120
<v Speaker 1>the king of being Like, is it still the same

0:22:45.119 --> 0:22:49.080
<v Speaker 1>thing from eight years ago? It's still got Yeah, Javan

0:22:49.160 --> 0:22:50.919
<v Speaker 1>Curse was a hell of a player though. Yeah, he

0:22:51.040 --> 0:22:54.440
<v Speaker 1>was a beast. He was a freak um. But they

0:22:54.440 --> 0:22:58.040
<v Speaker 1>don't have a lot of like star players. No defense,

0:22:58.080 --> 0:23:02.280
<v Speaker 1>they don't impressive, they don't pay their best player. They

0:23:02.320 --> 0:23:03.879
<v Speaker 1>don't have a lot of stars. They do have one

0:23:03.880 --> 0:23:06.760
<v Speaker 1>of the most underrated players in the entire NFL in

0:23:06.800 --> 0:23:11.119
<v Speaker 1>my opinion, guy by the name of Jarell Casey. He's

0:23:11.119 --> 0:23:13.360
<v Speaker 1>their three technique. Well, I mean they play three four,

0:23:13.400 --> 0:23:17.080
<v Speaker 1>but he's there penetrating just I've broke a play all

0:23:17.119 --> 0:23:20.360
<v Speaker 1>around from him yesterday, illustrated. And he is a badass.

0:23:20.480 --> 0:23:24.440
<v Speaker 1>He's a bam. He's actually he's one of just a yeah,

0:23:24.520 --> 0:23:27.199
<v Speaker 1>he's a bamp. He's one of just a handful of

0:23:27.240 --> 0:23:30.640
<v Speaker 1>guys that's left over from this uh from the last

0:23:30.720 --> 0:23:35.040
<v Speaker 1>time the Cowboys played the Titans, which twenty fourteen, he had.

0:23:35.080 --> 0:23:38.679
<v Speaker 1>He had two sacks in that game, sack Tony Romo twice.

0:23:38.800 --> 0:23:41.000
<v Speaker 1>So he's a guy you got to account for. He's

0:23:41.040 --> 0:23:45.080
<v Speaker 1>absolutely massive. He's a he's a second team all pro

0:23:45.200 --> 0:23:48.399
<v Speaker 1>and a three time Pro Bowler's he's the guy to know,

0:23:49.080 --> 0:23:53.440
<v Speaker 1>because honestly, the rest of this doesn't do a lot

0:23:53.480 --> 0:23:56.120
<v Speaker 1>for me. So it's I'm conflicted about this. The Titans

0:23:56.160 --> 0:23:59.160
<v Speaker 1>are eleventh in total defense three hundred forty yards a game.

0:23:59.520 --> 0:24:04.040
<v Speaker 1>They have a top ten passing defense and the middle

0:24:04.080 --> 0:24:07.320
<v Speaker 1>of the pack rushing defense. They're third in scoring defense,

0:24:07.320 --> 0:24:09.159
<v Speaker 1>behind the Cowboys. So like you look at that and

0:24:09.200 --> 0:24:12.520
<v Speaker 1>you're like, oh, these guys are not messing around. These

0:24:12.520 --> 0:24:15.359
<v Speaker 1>guys are great, But like, I don't know, man, I

0:24:15.480 --> 0:24:18.879
<v Speaker 1>didn't I didn't see it. And that sounds mean because

0:24:19.840 --> 0:24:22.000
<v Speaker 1>you know, watch watch They'll kick the Cowboys ass on

0:24:22.040 --> 0:24:24.439
<v Speaker 1>Monday Night. Now that I've said that, but like the

0:24:24.480 --> 0:24:27.280
<v Speaker 1>main thing for me is this is an old defense.

0:24:27.960 --> 0:24:32.760
<v Speaker 1>I did the math on it. There are there are

0:24:33.880 --> 0:24:36.679
<v Speaker 1>four guys on this defense that are thirty or older

0:24:37.080 --> 0:24:40.399
<v Speaker 1>and the average age of this defense is twenty seven.

0:24:40.520 --> 0:24:44.040
<v Speaker 1>And so when I watched them, I just didn't see like,

0:24:44.119 --> 0:24:48.440
<v Speaker 1>for example, the Jacksonville JA Jaguars, they just fly around

0:24:48.480 --> 0:24:51.200
<v Speaker 1>all over the place. They got these young draft pick,

0:24:51.520 --> 0:24:54.960
<v Speaker 1>badass players everywhere, and they just look super athletic. I

0:24:54.960 --> 0:24:57.440
<v Speaker 1>don't necessarily see that here. This is a big defense.

0:24:57.480 --> 0:25:02.240
<v Speaker 1>So you got Drell Casey, Daquan jo Austin Johnson are

0:25:02.320 --> 0:25:05.240
<v Speaker 1>your main front. Benny Logan's in there too, but he's

0:25:05.320 --> 0:25:07.840
<v Speaker 1>really more of a depth guy. He kind of fell

0:25:07.880 --> 0:25:13.280
<v Speaker 1>off pretty quickly, which is surprising. Your rush guys are

0:25:13.520 --> 0:25:16.359
<v Speaker 1>Derek Morgan, who's a long time Titan. He was on

0:25:16.400 --> 0:25:20.959
<v Speaker 1>the fourteen team. He's thirty years old. And Brian Rockpo.

0:25:21.160 --> 0:25:22.800
<v Speaker 1>You know, he came over from the Redskins a few

0:25:22.880 --> 0:25:28.160
<v Speaker 1>years ago. He's thirty two. Will Compton's thirty, he's inside linebacker.

0:25:28.200 --> 0:25:32.240
<v Speaker 1>Wesley Woodyard, former Kentucky guy, he's thirty two. Like these

0:25:32.240 --> 0:25:35.680
<v Speaker 1>guys are getting up there and like, you know, they're

0:25:35.720 --> 0:25:38.960
<v Speaker 1>still NFL players, but they just they don't they didn't

0:25:39.040 --> 0:25:41.280
<v Speaker 1>jump off the screen at me as like just these

0:25:41.440 --> 0:25:46.800
<v Speaker 1>super duper athletic Guysum, the money of this defense is

0:25:46.800 --> 0:25:49.560
<v Speaker 1>in the secondary. They have Logan, Ryan, They brought in

0:25:49.600 --> 0:25:54.879
<v Speaker 1>Malcolm Butler from New England, the Super Bowl Hero. I know,

0:25:55.040 --> 0:25:57.479
<v Speaker 1>like they're top ten, but there's place to be made

0:25:57.520 --> 0:26:01.840
<v Speaker 1>against these guys. Malcolm I know, you know, pro football

0:26:01.880 --> 0:26:04.159
<v Speaker 1>focus isn't everything, but he's ranked seventy ninth in the

0:26:04.240 --> 0:26:07.199
<v Speaker 1>league among cornerbacks right now, like he's having a bad year.

0:26:07.240 --> 0:26:10.440
<v Speaker 1>He's given up five passing touchdowns. Cheeto on that list,

0:26:11.000 --> 0:26:13.560
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, but Byron Jones is one. He's the

0:26:13.680 --> 0:26:16.920
<v Speaker 1>number one, number one rated corner by them. I know that,

0:26:17.000 --> 0:26:19.200
<v Speaker 1>you know that's not scientific, but that's what they say.

0:26:21.720 --> 0:26:23.840
<v Speaker 1>They've I mean, they've given up chunk plays in damn

0:26:23.880 --> 0:26:26.280
<v Speaker 1>near every game they've played. I looked this up. They

0:26:26.320 --> 0:26:28.600
<v Speaker 1>gave up touchdowns of seventy five and fifty five to

0:26:28.640 --> 0:26:31.399
<v Speaker 1>the Chargers through the air. They gave up a twenty

0:26:31.480 --> 0:26:33.960
<v Speaker 1>eight yarder and a thirty nine yard er to Houston.

0:26:34.400 --> 0:26:38.560
<v Speaker 1>They gave up a fifty six yarder to Philly, most

0:26:38.600 --> 0:26:40.960
<v Speaker 1>of these coming on Malcolm Butler, by the way, who's

0:26:40.960 --> 0:26:43.440
<v Speaker 1>their big money guy, who was supposed to be their shutdown.

0:26:43.960 --> 0:26:48.240
<v Speaker 1>So I have reason to think that there are plays

0:26:48.240 --> 0:26:51.520
<v Speaker 1>to be made against these guys, and obviously easier said

0:26:51.560 --> 0:26:54.200
<v Speaker 1>than done with the way the Cowboys passing offense has been.

0:26:54.280 --> 0:26:57.360
<v Speaker 1>But Amari Cooper's there now. And you know, I always

0:26:57.720 --> 0:27:00.000
<v Speaker 1>argue with Nick like I don't care that much about

0:27:00.080 --> 0:27:02.919
<v Speaker 1>bombing away, but maybe you should. Maybe you should in

0:27:02.960 --> 0:27:06.000
<v Speaker 1>this game because they've shown a tendency to give those

0:27:06.000 --> 0:27:09.240
<v Speaker 1>plays up. They have a Dorey Jackson, a Dorry Jackson

0:27:09.280 --> 0:27:12.159
<v Speaker 1>as well, first round pick everybody, you know. They stole

0:27:12.240 --> 0:27:14.080
<v Speaker 1>him from the Cowboys a couple of years ago in

0:27:14.119 --> 0:27:18.000
<v Speaker 1>the draft. But he's their third corner, which if your

0:27:18.080 --> 0:27:21.320
<v Speaker 1>second year, first round pick like that's disappointing in my opinion.

0:27:23.119 --> 0:27:25.399
<v Speaker 1>And their rushing offense, these are this is the rushing

0:27:25.440 --> 0:27:29.240
<v Speaker 1>totals they've allowed one twenty one, forty seven. They gave

0:27:29.320 --> 0:27:32.160
<v Speaker 1>up eighty seven to Jacksonville, but Jacksonville didn't run that much.

0:27:32.160 --> 0:27:35.520
<v Speaker 1>They averaged four point six yards per carry, one seventeen

0:27:35.560 --> 0:27:39.280
<v Speaker 1>to Philly, one forty four to Buffalo, although the Bills

0:27:39.280 --> 0:27:41.040
<v Speaker 1>only averaged three and a half yards per carry in

0:27:41.040 --> 0:27:42.480
<v Speaker 1>that game, but they still got two one hundred and

0:27:42.480 --> 0:27:46.119
<v Speaker 1>fifty rushing yards one twenty three from Baltimore. They completely

0:27:46.240 --> 0:27:49.359
<v Speaker 1>shut down the Chargers the other day in London forty

0:27:49.400 --> 0:27:53.359
<v Speaker 1>seven in that game, but Philip Rivers was doing whatever

0:27:53.400 --> 0:27:57.320
<v Speaker 1>he wanted to through the air. So there's place to

0:27:57.359 --> 0:28:01.000
<v Speaker 1>be made against these guys. I think like they're stout statistically,

0:28:01.200 --> 0:28:04.959
<v Speaker 1>but I think this plays well to the Cowboys strengths

0:28:05.000 --> 0:28:09.760
<v Speaker 1>because well you mentioned Casey. Now, how is this. How

0:28:09.880 --> 0:28:12.280
<v Speaker 1>much of a problem is this gonna be when going

0:28:12.359 --> 0:28:15.600
<v Speaker 1>up against Connor Williams. If there's the one thing that

0:28:15.640 --> 0:28:20.159
<v Speaker 1>gives me pause is I think their front is big

0:28:20.200 --> 0:28:24.040
<v Speaker 1>and powerful, I mean Jurrell Casey most of all, and yeah,

0:28:24.080 --> 0:28:26.720
<v Speaker 1>he's probably gonna he's gonna disrupt some stuff. I mean,

0:28:26.760 --> 0:28:31.080
<v Speaker 1>you remember Connor Williams playing against Kawan Short. They have

0:28:31.160 --> 0:28:33.080
<v Speaker 1>the potential to do that, and I think that could

0:28:33.080 --> 0:28:34.680
<v Speaker 1>be a problem for Connor. I think it could be

0:28:34.720 --> 0:28:36.600
<v Speaker 1>a problem for all of them, to be honest with you,

0:28:36.640 --> 0:28:38.600
<v Speaker 1>And that's the one thing that kind of gives me

0:28:38.640 --> 0:28:42.640
<v Speaker 1>pause about this. But I think there's plays there in

0:28:42.680 --> 0:28:45.200
<v Speaker 1>the passing game. Like like I said, I mean, they're

0:28:45.240 --> 0:28:48.080
<v Speaker 1>ranked ninth, and I was expecting to see just this,

0:28:48.800 --> 0:28:51.920
<v Speaker 1>you know, lockdown coverage on tape, and I didn't. Like

0:28:52.720 --> 0:28:56.000
<v Speaker 1>teams are beating them with some regularity. All of their

0:28:56.040 --> 0:28:58.240
<v Speaker 1>corners a door. Jackson gave up one of the long

0:28:58.280 --> 0:29:02.400
<v Speaker 1>ones to the Chargers the other day, So I'm encouraged.

0:29:02.480 --> 0:29:04.040
<v Speaker 1>I do think, I mean, they're gonna have their work

0:29:04.080 --> 0:29:08.280
<v Speaker 1>cut out for him blocking Casey and Johnson. Oh and

0:29:08.360 --> 0:29:11.960
<v Speaker 1>one more two names me being the draft nerd that

0:29:12.000 --> 0:29:14.080
<v Speaker 1>I am like I keep my eye on them because

0:29:14.240 --> 0:29:16.840
<v Speaker 1>Harold Landry and Rashaun Evans. Rashaun Evans is the Bama

0:29:16.880 --> 0:29:20.520
<v Speaker 1>linebacker that the Cowboys liked, he wound up here. They

0:29:20.680 --> 0:29:23.200
<v Speaker 1>move him in a lot. And then Harold Landry's the

0:29:23.240 --> 0:29:25.720
<v Speaker 1>Boston College pass rusher that they got in the second round,

0:29:26.120 --> 0:29:28.960
<v Speaker 1>and they're trying to get him involved. And I think

0:29:29.000 --> 0:29:31.960
<v Speaker 1>it's because they obviously see the end of the road

0:29:32.000 --> 0:29:34.040
<v Speaker 1>for these guys like Morgan and a rock po I

0:29:34.080 --> 0:29:35.960
<v Speaker 1>wonder how involved he's gonna get in this game because

0:29:35.960 --> 0:29:37.960
<v Speaker 1>he's kind of been a bit player to this point.

0:29:38.000 --> 0:29:43.120
<v Speaker 1>But those guys super talented and definitely worth watching if

0:29:43.160 --> 0:29:45.959
<v Speaker 1>they get on the field. Okay, well, I'm liking this.

0:29:46.040 --> 0:29:48.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm liking this report. Like I feel like a Homer

0:29:48.680 --> 0:29:50.520
<v Speaker 1>when I say this, because like usually, you know, people

0:29:50.560 --> 0:29:53.080
<v Speaker 1>give me crap all the time. They're like, oh, to

0:29:53.200 --> 0:29:55.440
<v Speaker 1>hear it from Dave. We're playing the eighty five Bears,

0:29:55.600 --> 0:29:59.160
<v Speaker 1>you know, Like I try to pay respect to the opposition.

0:29:59.200 --> 0:30:02.640
<v Speaker 1>But like I watched them play, and I I don't know,

0:30:02.680 --> 0:30:05.040
<v Speaker 1>I wasn't clearly you would say the Cowboys defense is

0:30:05.040 --> 0:30:08.360
<v Speaker 1>a lot better. It's definitely better in my opinion. Yeah,

0:30:08.480 --> 0:30:10.600
<v Speaker 1>and you go. The Cowboys got that working for them

0:30:10.600 --> 0:30:13.160
<v Speaker 1>this weekend and playing at home, I think the Cowboys

0:30:13.200 --> 0:30:15.440
<v Speaker 1>have the favorable matchup on both sides of the ball,

0:30:15.480 --> 0:30:17.600
<v Speaker 1>on top of the fact that they're playing at home. Nice.

0:30:17.680 --> 0:30:19.800
<v Speaker 1>All right, let's take our final break and when we

0:30:19.840 --> 0:30:22.240

0:30:26.440 --> 0:30:28.400
<v Speaker 1>it's one he's out on the field that you really

0:30:28.440 --> 0:30:31.520
<v Speaker 1>find out what he's made of. That's why the Cowboys

0:30:31.560 --> 0:30:34.600
<v Speaker 1>rely on more than just stats and scouting reports when

0:30:34.680 --> 0:30:38.000
<v Speaker 1>building their team. When picking a tractor, it's why you

0:30:38.000 --> 0:30:40.840

<v Speaker 1>unstoppable and legendary spirit, just like the men wearing silver

<v Speaker 1>Stetson hats are American made with pride right here in Texas.

0:32:37.320 --> 0:32:40.880
<v Speaker 1>They are still the official crown of all self prospecting Cowboys,

0:32:41.200 --> 0:32:43.440

0:32:47.200 --> 0:32:53.200
<v Speaker 1>or at Stetson dot Com. Today, back to the break,

0:32:53.600 --> 0:32:56.320
<v Speaker 1>let's talk about Tommy John real quick. I think that

0:32:56.520 --> 0:32:59.719
<v Speaker 1>Jason Garrett has a T shirt or a sign somewhere

0:32:59.720 --> 0:33:02.560
<v Speaker 1>over there. This say is protect the ball. That's what

0:33:02.640 --> 0:33:04.120
<v Speaker 1>that's what you're trying to do in football to really

0:33:04.120 --> 0:33:05.719
<v Speaker 1>what you're trying to do in life, and that's what

0:33:05.760 --> 0:33:09.280
<v Speaker 1>time does. But in this case, you're protecting two. You

0:33:09.840 --> 0:33:15.680
<v Speaker 1>are for the part you are at the ball. Wow,

0:33:16.040 --> 0:33:19.080
<v Speaker 1>so good drops and that's very good. So Tommy John

0:33:19.680 --> 0:33:22.440
<v Speaker 1>does that as well as anybody. You want to make

0:33:22.480 --> 0:33:24.520
<v Speaker 1>sure that everything is protecting. Tommy John can do it

0:33:24.560 --> 0:33:27.240
<v Speaker 1>better anybody. So Tommy John dot com Forward Slash Cowboys,

0:33:27.400 --> 0:33:32.040
<v Speaker 1>the official ball carrier of the Dallas Cowboys. Nice, thank you, Nick.

0:33:32.200 --> 0:33:35.800
<v Speaker 1>That was good. That was a good one. That's the

0:33:35.880 --> 0:33:39.880
<v Speaker 1>first what I just getting it was good? That was good. Okay,

0:33:40.480 --> 0:33:46.320
<v Speaker 1>So at this time, um, when when the season, when

0:33:46.360 --> 0:33:48.280
<v Speaker 1>you have a season going to wait it's going for

0:33:48.320 --> 0:33:50.440
<v Speaker 1>the Cowboys, it gets to a point where you start

0:33:50.480 --> 0:33:53.040
<v Speaker 1>pointing fingers. And this is something we've talked about in

0:33:53.080 --> 0:33:55.800
<v Speaker 1>the past, but I've seen several people ask about this

0:33:56.960 --> 0:34:02.520
<v Speaker 1>Kellen Moore. How much blame falls on Kellen Moore when

0:34:02.560 --> 0:34:06.040
<v Speaker 1>he comes to Dak's performance on the field. You know

0:34:06.080 --> 0:34:09.000
<v Speaker 1>what I mean, that's the first time I've actually heard that,

0:34:09.280 --> 0:34:15.239
<v Speaker 1>like this week after the after Alexander got fired. But

0:34:15.640 --> 0:34:18.200
<v Speaker 1>I mean, have you heard it a lot not? I Mean,

0:34:18.800 --> 0:34:21.319
<v Speaker 1>there's a there's people on Twitter that hate on Kellen

0:34:21.400 --> 0:34:23.200
<v Speaker 1>Moore all the time, but like I haven't heard it

0:34:23.280 --> 0:34:25.920
<v Speaker 1>any more than I'm The thing is is that that

0:34:26.200 --> 0:34:31.040
<v Speaker 1>kind of regress last year a little bit from his

0:34:31.160 --> 0:34:34.160
<v Speaker 1>rookie year and then and that was you know, with

0:34:34.200 --> 0:34:37.040
<v Speaker 1>Wade Wilson as the coach, the offensive line has been

0:34:37.080 --> 0:34:40.680
<v Speaker 1>really good and I mean elite, and all of a

0:34:40.719 --> 0:34:44.080
<v Speaker 1>sudden it's not anymore. And what's the difference a new coach,

0:34:44.120 --> 0:34:46.359
<v Speaker 1>So let's let's change that. So I don't know if

0:34:46.400 --> 0:34:48.560
<v Speaker 1>you can say all, you know, like, oh my god,

0:34:48.600 --> 0:34:50.600
<v Speaker 1>what's going on with Dak? We started to see this

0:34:50.800 --> 0:34:55.200
<v Speaker 1>last year. Now he hasn't helped to the point where

0:34:55.200 --> 0:34:57.879
<v Speaker 1>he's where he's a lot better that we see. I'm

0:34:57.880 --> 0:34:59.960
<v Speaker 1>sure that the coach will tell you, oh, he sees thinking.

0:35:00.400 --> 0:35:03.279
<v Speaker 1>But I think it's fair. I mean, that's fair criticism

0:35:03.320 --> 0:35:05.320
<v Speaker 1>and it's something that it's worth, like you're on watch.

0:35:06.040 --> 0:35:10.879
<v Speaker 1>But but again, Dak was sort of struggling some last

0:35:10.920 --> 0:35:13.880
<v Speaker 1>year and we saw that. You know, this isn't his

0:35:13.920 --> 0:35:18.200
<v Speaker 1>rookie season anymore. It's more of a challenge, and you know,

0:35:18.239 --> 0:35:19.880
<v Speaker 1>he was brought in Kellen Moore is brought in to

0:35:20.000 --> 0:35:23.439
<v Speaker 1>help with that. So far, we haven't seen big changes there,

0:35:23.480 --> 0:35:26.120
<v Speaker 1>but they're gonna they're gonna give them. They're gonna give

0:35:26.160 --> 0:35:28.640
<v Speaker 1>him a new wide receiver They're gonna give them the

0:35:29.120 --> 0:35:32.720
<v Speaker 1>old offensive line scheme and back and we'll see what happens.

0:35:33.160 --> 0:35:36.680
<v Speaker 1>Now with no first round pick next year, what's the

0:35:36.719 --> 0:35:41.040
<v Speaker 1>Cowboys number one need in the second round draft? Show?

0:35:41.400 --> 0:35:45.040
<v Speaker 1>Before you get to that, can you can you address

0:35:45.080 --> 0:35:47.359
<v Speaker 1>that Kellen Moore thing. You're about to say something real quick? No,

0:35:47.719 --> 0:35:52.440
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I quarterback, it's so weird. It's different for me.

0:35:52.480 --> 0:35:53.920
<v Speaker 1>I don't like. I mean, we say that all the time.

0:35:54.000 --> 0:35:59.040
<v Speaker 1>Quarterbacks different. And yeah, I don't know unless unless Dak

0:35:59.080 --> 0:36:01.839
<v Speaker 1>Prescott was like, you gotta get this guy out of here.

0:36:01.840 --> 0:36:04.040
<v Speaker 1>He's killing me. I don't like, You're not gonna do

0:36:04.040 --> 0:36:06.359
<v Speaker 1>something that's gonna upset your quarterback. And I think Dak

0:36:06.520 --> 0:36:09.120
<v Speaker 1>likes Kellen Moore. I mean, mate, you know, if if this,

0:36:10.000 --> 0:36:11.920
<v Speaker 1>if this doesn't work out at the end of the season, obviously,

0:36:11.920 --> 0:36:15.520
<v Speaker 1>I mean Kellen Moore, this is his first year coaching anything,

0:36:15.560 --> 0:36:17.719
<v Speaker 1>but he's smart enough to know, like that's how coaching works.

0:36:17.719 --> 0:36:20.280
<v Speaker 1>If this season goes south, everybody should be on notice,

0:36:20.320 --> 0:36:23.759
<v Speaker 1>Like nobody over there is going to feel comfortable about

0:36:23.800 --> 0:36:26.040
<v Speaker 1>their job status if the Cowboys don't find a way

0:36:26.080 --> 0:36:28.640
<v Speaker 1>to win games. But I just you don't do things

0:36:28.640 --> 0:36:30.960
<v Speaker 1>to upset your quarterback halfway through the season, Like, you

0:36:31.000 --> 0:36:33.280
<v Speaker 1>want him to be comfortable and happy in the environment

0:36:33.280 --> 0:36:36.680
<v Speaker 1>that he's working in, and so yanking the coach out

0:36:36.680 --> 0:36:39.440
<v Speaker 1>of there and putting somebody new in is probably not

0:36:39.480 --> 0:36:42.480
<v Speaker 1>going to make your quarterback happy. So I can't I

0:36:42.560 --> 0:36:45.400
<v Speaker 1>can't think of many examples of a quarterback coach getting

0:36:45.719 --> 0:36:48.000
<v Speaker 1>yanked halfway through a season. It just doesn't seem like

0:36:48.040 --> 0:36:50.680
<v Speaker 1>it's something that happens. What I have never really liked

0:36:50.719 --> 0:36:56.120
<v Speaker 1>about this higher is that it's one thing that's fine

0:36:56.160 --> 0:36:57.640
<v Speaker 1>that he didn't really play a lot of games. He

0:36:57.719 --> 0:36:59.520
<v Speaker 1>played a few games in the league. There's a lot

0:36:59.560 --> 0:37:01.880
<v Speaker 1>of coaches that probably never played any in the NFL.

0:37:02.200 --> 0:37:04.279
<v Speaker 1>What they played was high school in college. But why

0:37:04.280 --> 0:37:07.080
<v Speaker 1>they're NFL coaches because they've been around the NFL for

0:37:07.120 --> 0:37:09.399
<v Speaker 1>a long time. And I just don't think he's got

0:37:09.440 --> 0:37:11.560
<v Speaker 1>a lot of experience. He didn't have a ton of

0:37:11.600 --> 0:37:14.440
<v Speaker 1>experience as a player. He certainly has no experience as

0:37:14.480 --> 0:37:17.480
<v Speaker 1>a coach. So he's still a young guy in life.

0:37:17.520 --> 0:37:19.480
<v Speaker 1>I mean not just as a coach, but he's still

0:37:19.520 --> 0:37:22.080
<v Speaker 1>a young guy and he hasn't really seen much more

0:37:22.120 --> 0:37:24.960
<v Speaker 1>than that. So I just always questioned how much he

0:37:25.000 --> 0:37:28.600
<v Speaker 1>could really help with his experience. He's obviously got a

0:37:28.640 --> 0:37:31.200
<v Speaker 1>good mind for the position in the game, or he

0:37:31.239 --> 0:37:34.160
<v Speaker 1>wouldn't have won so many games in college and been

0:37:34.200 --> 0:37:36.000
<v Speaker 1>around and all that, and he got a good grasp

0:37:36.000 --> 0:37:38.120
<v Speaker 1>with what Lenahan's trying to do. I will say this though,

0:37:38.160 --> 0:37:41.400
<v Speaker 1>as I think most of most of the moves that

0:37:41.440 --> 0:37:44.000
<v Speaker 1>the Cowboys made were in the interest of like harmony.

0:37:44.280 --> 0:37:46.640
<v Speaker 1>It's like, we kind of got our backs to the wall,

0:37:46.840 --> 0:37:49.520
<v Speaker 1>you know, let's just bring in guys who like, who

0:37:49.560 --> 0:37:51.600
<v Speaker 1>get us, who get what we want to do, who

0:37:51.680 --> 0:37:53.359
<v Speaker 1>we're not going to be butting heads with. I mean,

0:37:53.480 --> 0:37:57.439
<v Speaker 1>Kellen Moore comes to mind, He's Scott Lindahan's protege. Ben

0:37:57.480 --> 0:38:00.480
<v Speaker 1>Bloom is a guy who's been here forever. They elevated him.

0:38:00.000 --> 0:38:03.040
<v Speaker 1>They bring Mark Colombo on. Like, the two that stand

0:38:03.080 --> 0:38:06.840
<v Speaker 1>out in that regard um are for me, Chris Roh

0:38:06.880 --> 0:38:10.840
<v Speaker 1>Shard and Paul Alexander and well, Paul Alexander Law and

0:38:10.920 --> 0:38:12.839
<v Speaker 1>maybe you could throw in there two. Yeah. It doesn't

0:38:12.840 --> 0:38:15.680
<v Speaker 1>have a lot of ties here. Yeah, I guess that

0:38:15.400 --> 0:38:18.040
<v Speaker 1>that is true. You're that's fair, But I would say

0:38:18.040 --> 0:38:22.480
<v Speaker 1>the difference is Chris Roh Shard's unit is performing really well.

0:38:22.520 --> 0:38:25.040
<v Speaker 1>Paul Alexander's didn't, so they're like, oh, that didn't work.

0:38:25.120 --> 0:38:27.719
<v Speaker 1>Let's raise up another familiar guy who and we can

0:38:27.800 --> 0:38:30.960
<v Speaker 1>kind of get that sense of harmony back. Although I

0:38:31.000 --> 0:38:33.359
<v Speaker 1>mean the receivers aren't playing great either, so they went

0:38:33.600 --> 0:38:35.600
<v Speaker 1>they didn't I mean, try to help him. You're right,

0:38:35.640 --> 0:38:38.560
<v Speaker 1>they they did well. They're probably like, what else do

0:38:38.560 --> 0:38:40.360
<v Speaker 1>you want us to do to help the offensive line?

0:38:40.360 --> 0:38:43.440
<v Speaker 1>I mean what I mean, all first rounders, not a

0:38:43.440 --> 0:38:46.000
<v Speaker 1>lot you can do to improve the talent level short

0:38:46.040 --> 0:38:48.880
<v Speaker 1>of getting Travis fred I mean, obviously with Frederick and Luney.

0:38:48.920 --> 0:38:52.040
<v Speaker 1>But but when they started training camp with Frederick, I mean,

0:38:52.160 --> 0:38:56.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure Max or not? What am I thinking of

0:38:56.480 --> 0:39:01.560
<v Speaker 1>the draft McShay and paper, Yeah, I mean I guarantee

0:39:01.640 --> 0:39:04.319
<v Speaker 1>the first round grades on every single guy that was

0:39:04.800 --> 0:39:08.640
<v Speaker 1>that was drafted. Maybe not Frederick. Frederick may not have Yeah, no,

0:39:08.800 --> 0:39:12.040
<v Speaker 1>he didn't because they killed him for it. Or first

0:39:12.080 --> 0:39:16.640
<v Speaker 1>round grade, Yeah, pretty close. I just I always thought

0:39:17.200 --> 0:39:20.000
<v Speaker 1>the Cowboys made most of their offseason moves in the

0:39:20.120 --> 0:39:23.480
<v Speaker 1>name of like harmony and like you know what if,

0:39:23.640 --> 0:39:25.200
<v Speaker 1>like if our backs are the wall and we might

0:39:25.239 --> 0:39:27.240
<v Speaker 1>get fired, We're gonna do it our way with guys

0:39:27.280 --> 0:39:29.719
<v Speaker 1>that we like and trust instead of like bringing in

0:39:29.719 --> 0:39:32.080
<v Speaker 1>all these new faces. All right, well, they usually don't

0:39:32.120 --> 0:39:35.680
<v Speaker 1>like doing that. They like sticking to yea, their own

0:39:35.719 --> 0:39:38.600
<v Speaker 1>thing and yeah, and well, and it's believing that it's

0:39:38.600 --> 0:39:41.000
<v Speaker 1>gonna work out. It's the classic case. I mean, if

0:39:41.000 --> 0:39:43.040
<v Speaker 1>it works out for him, that'll be good for them.

0:39:43.040 --> 0:39:46.480
<v Speaker 1>And if it doesn't, it'll it'll probably change. But yeah,

0:39:46.520 --> 0:39:48.279
<v Speaker 1>so who would you pick or who do you think

0:39:48.560 --> 0:39:51.080
<v Speaker 1>what position do you think is the biggest necessity going

0:39:51.120 --> 0:39:54.360
<v Speaker 1>into the draft for the second round? People are gonna

0:39:54.360 --> 0:39:57.600
<v Speaker 1>say tight end. But I'm starting a movement, and I'm

0:39:57.640 --> 0:40:00.600
<v Speaker 1>doing it right now, before before the off season even

0:40:00.640 --> 0:40:03.040
<v Speaker 1>gets here. Because you know, we talk about how deep

0:40:03.080 --> 0:40:07.440
<v Speaker 1>the learning curve is for wide receiver, how about tight end? Like,

0:40:07.560 --> 0:40:12.040
<v Speaker 1>how how many short of other than Rob Gronkowski, who

0:40:12.239 --> 0:40:14.080
<v Speaker 1>is in the Hall of Fame right now if he

0:40:14.120 --> 0:40:17.120
<v Speaker 1>never plays another snap, how many tight ends like make

0:40:17.160 --> 0:40:20.880
<v Speaker 1>an early difference, like really just come on strong and

0:40:20.600 --> 0:40:22.799
<v Speaker 1>yeah and are great right out the bat so well,

0:40:22.800 --> 0:40:25.160
<v Speaker 1>but how many seventh round tight ends and undrafted guys?

0:40:25.160 --> 0:40:26.600
<v Speaker 1>I mean, that's what they're I mean, at least the

0:40:26.600 --> 0:40:28.920
<v Speaker 1>starting point now, you can't say that they have not

0:40:29.040 --> 0:40:31.759
<v Speaker 1>hit on second round tight ends in the last ten years.

0:40:32.200 --> 0:40:35.160
<v Speaker 1>I'm not even looking at the I'm in the NFL.

0:40:35.239 --> 0:40:37.400
<v Speaker 1>How many people hit on tight ends. I mean, you

0:40:37.400 --> 0:40:40.560
<v Speaker 1>know O J. Howard like he's he's okay, I guess

0:40:41.520 --> 0:40:43.640
<v Speaker 1>for all to talk about Dallas Goddard and I know

0:40:43.680 --> 0:40:48.000
<v Speaker 1>they have zach Ertz. But well, let me argue with

0:40:48.040 --> 0:40:49.680
<v Speaker 1>you there, because I'm not trying to get a guy

0:40:49.840 --> 0:40:51.360
<v Speaker 1>in Canton. I want a guy to be better than

0:40:51.440 --> 0:40:54.759
<v Speaker 1>Jeff Swain. Absolutely. The point I'm trying to make is

0:40:55.000 --> 0:40:57.280
<v Speaker 1>I want to spend on tight end in free agency.

0:40:57.400 --> 0:40:59.719
<v Speaker 1>I let me get a veteran tight end in here.

0:40:59.719 --> 0:41:03.160
<v Speaker 1>It does have to even be uh, it doesn't have

0:41:03.200 --> 0:41:05.480
<v Speaker 1>to be this huge contract. But yeah, case in point

0:41:05.520 --> 0:41:08.800
<v Speaker 1>the Bears. The Bears went out and signed Trey Burton.

0:41:08.960 --> 0:41:10.640
<v Speaker 1>You know, he was like this, the third tight end

0:41:10.680 --> 0:41:12.359
<v Speaker 1>for the Eagles when they won the Super Bowl. Who's

0:41:12.360 --> 0:41:15.359
<v Speaker 1>not not a crazy good player, but an upgrade over

0:41:15.400 --> 0:41:17.520
<v Speaker 1>what they had, and they didn't break the bank for him.

0:41:17.560 --> 0:41:20.560
<v Speaker 1>I'd rather just give me a middle priced vet who

0:41:20.640 --> 0:41:23.160
<v Speaker 1>can do the job rather than for a room. I

0:41:23.200 --> 0:41:25.840
<v Speaker 1>thought the way you were headed was gonna be like, oh,

0:41:25.880 --> 0:41:29.399
<v Speaker 1>I think by a second year these tight ends will

0:41:29.440 --> 0:41:32.359
<v Speaker 1>develop something else. I don't have time to wait for

0:41:32.360 --> 0:41:36.759
<v Speaker 1>people to develop. But my position is defensive tackle. The

0:41:36.760 --> 0:41:39.399
<v Speaker 1>defensive tackle like that, I don't I don't know what's

0:41:39.400 --> 0:41:42.160
<v Speaker 1>going on with David Irving. I don't expect David Irving

0:41:42.160 --> 0:41:45.440
<v Speaker 1>to be back. Tyrone Crawford. He's been, he's been really

0:41:45.600 --> 0:41:48.000
<v Speaker 1>good as far as you know, locker room guy. He's

0:41:48.000 --> 0:41:50.960
<v Speaker 1>gonna make he's gonna make a few dollars this next year.

0:41:51.080 --> 0:41:52.719
<v Speaker 1>And with his you know, getting up there in age

0:41:52.719 --> 0:41:54.879
<v Speaker 1>a little bit, I don't think they'll make a move,

0:41:54.920 --> 0:41:56.640
<v Speaker 1>but I think he has time to start looking at

0:41:56.680 --> 0:41:59.719
<v Speaker 1>some other defensive tackles there. Colins Malague keeps getting hurt

0:41:59.719 --> 0:42:02.200
<v Speaker 1>a lot um I could see a position in second

0:42:02.239 --> 0:42:05.560
<v Speaker 1>round that's a good one. Do you actually say yours

0:42:05.640 --> 0:42:09.440
<v Speaker 1>defensive tackle? Safety or and I don't even like saying this,

0:42:09.480 --> 0:42:13.040
<v Speaker 1>but I gotta figure out what Travis Frederick's future is, uh,

0:42:13.080 --> 0:42:16.759
<v Speaker 1>and if if the answer is, if the answer is

0:42:16.800 --> 0:42:19.759
<v Speaker 1>not good, that's something that you should consider to not

0:42:19.840 --> 0:42:23.160
<v Speaker 1>rule out wide receiver either. I understand you already got

0:42:23.200 --> 0:42:25.240
<v Speaker 1>your first round pick, but so we got four positions.

0:42:25.360 --> 0:42:29.919
<v Speaker 1>Well on the list. That's what they'll do, Investigate and educate. Dude,

0:42:29.960 --> 0:42:32.799
<v Speaker 1>you can't just lock onto one. Cole Beasley is a

0:42:32.840 --> 0:42:34.239
<v Speaker 1>free could be a free agent at the end of

0:42:34.239 --> 0:42:36.480
<v Speaker 1>the year. You gotta get you. I don't think they're

0:42:36.520 --> 0:42:39.360
<v Speaker 1>earns is long for this. You absolutely could look at receiver.

0:42:39.680 --> 0:42:41.799
<v Speaker 1>Yeah all right, well, Drery, how you guys, Thank you

0:42:41.800 --> 0:42:47.759
<v Speaker 1>so much for listening. Fernickin Men, David Hellman, and Burgarciaya.
