Are you ready for a break? 4 00:00:16,520 --> 00:00:16,840 Speaker 3: Yes? 5 00:00:17,079 --> 00:00:18,680 Speaker 2: Are you ready for a break? 6 00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:19,480 Speaker 3: Absolutely? 7 00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:21,599 Speaker 2: Ready for a break? 8 00:00:21,720 --> 00:00:23,840 Speaker 4: Yeah, And so much for that. 9 00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:28,280 Speaker 1: It's time for the Break on Dallas Cowboys dot Com. 10 00:00:28,280 --> 00:00:31,440 Speaker 2: Were on with Ambar Garcia. 11 00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:36,159 Speaker 1: Brian brought us Patrick Walker and Derek Eagleton. 12 00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:44,120 Speaker 5: Hey, guys, welcome back to another episode of The Break. 13 00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:48,720 Speaker 5: I'm hosting today. Derek is al being lazy, just kidding 14 00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:53,159 Speaker 5: kind of shots. It's somewhere and I hope he's enjoying 15 00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:54,720 Speaker 5: his time. I don't know where he ended up going, 16 00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:57,520 Speaker 5: but I'm here with Brian and I'm here with Patrick. 17 00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:00,360 Speaker 5: We're going to talk about free agency. And I don't 18 00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:06,840 Speaker 5: really know start the show because not much has happened, 19 00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:12,119 Speaker 5: but early thoughts on free agency. I know last week 20 00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:14,720 Speaker 5: we got to discuss some of the options that were 21 00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:17,640 Speaker 5: out there, some of the guys that you guys liked 22 00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:23,119 Speaker 5: or could potentially see ending up with the Cowboys. We 23 00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:26,160 Speaker 5: saw a whole list of different guys that have parted 24 00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:30,240 Speaker 5: ways with the Cowboys. Most of them have gone to Washington, 25 00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:36,479 Speaker 5: joined Dan Quinn over there and then only Tony Poller 26 00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:40,039 Speaker 5: ended up going to the Tennessee Titans so far, so 27 00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:42,960 Speaker 5: let's start off with him. Let's start off with the 28 00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:47,400 Speaker 5: running back position. Thoughts on where it's at right now. 29 00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:50,120 Speaker 5: The Cowboys currently do not have a starter at the 30 00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:54,480 Speaker 5: running back position. Where you guys land with the current situation. 31 00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:55,600 Speaker 6: Yeah, I think you need to keep an eye on 32 00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:57,800 Speaker 6: AJ Dillon. Here is what you need to do. I 33 00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:00,320 Speaker 6: think they're in the price range right now where at 34 00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:03,160 Speaker 6: that back that's site between one point five and maybe 35 00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:06,240 Speaker 6: three million dollars. The key here is going to be 36 00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:09,160 Speaker 6: able to pair a running back, a veteran running back 37 00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:11,679 Speaker 6: with the current running back in this college draft. And 38 00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:15,520 Speaker 6: there's several of them that have the quickness, the explosiveness, 39 00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:18,440 Speaker 6: the finishing of the runs, the ability to catch the football. 40 00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:20,520 Speaker 6: The one thing that a guy like AJ Dillon will 41 00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:23,160 Speaker 6: bring you and if you look at the numbers, it's 42 00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:25,680 Speaker 6: not really impressive. But what you look at, though, is 43 00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:28,760 Speaker 6: his ability to blitz, pick up, his ability to be 44 00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:31,720 Speaker 6: tough inside runner, and when he gets down on the 45 00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:34,480 Speaker 6: goal line, his ability able to finish. Now you might say, 46 00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:37,560 Speaker 6: well you got Hunter Lipke that kind of situation. I 47 00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:39,359 Speaker 6: think they're going to need a little bit more here. 48 00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:41,600 Speaker 6: So my focus right now would be on a guy 49 00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:45,720 Speaker 6: like Dylan potentially coming here at their type of price, 50 00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:49,200 Speaker 6: and then more importantly, pair him with one of these 51 00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:52,360 Speaker 6: college backs in the draft that we've been talking about 52 00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:54,440 Speaker 6: on a weekly basis here on the Draft Show. 53 00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:57,160 Speaker 7: Yeah, Dylan is definitely in play, and I think that 54 00:02:57,240 --> 00:03:00,520 Speaker 7: at this point, whether it be Dylan or or whomever 55 00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:02,720 Speaker 7: else you might bring in veteran, wise, you're gonna have 56 00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:05,240 Speaker 7: to tandem them with someone in the draft. Anyway, that's 57 00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:07,560 Speaker 7: where you are now with the Cowboys. You don't know 58 00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:09,760 Speaker 7: what you have with Duce Vaughan. He struggled to get 59 00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:11,320 Speaker 7: onto the field, and then when he was on the field, 60 00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:13,839 Speaker 7: didn't show you much. Last year, Hunter Libkey he took 61 00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:16,040 Speaker 7: some strides, so roses to Hunter lib Key, he's on 62 00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:18,079 Speaker 7: the right path, But you can't look at him and 63 00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:20,840 Speaker 7: definitively say yes, he's going to be my RB one 64 00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:23,320 Speaker 7: or even my RB two right now. And then you 65 00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:25,920 Speaker 7: have Malik Davis futures deal that's about to activate, but 66 00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:28,399 Speaker 7: still looking to prove himself as well. Snoop Connor's still 67 00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:31,040 Speaker 7: looking to prove himself. You've got a lot of unproven guys, 68 00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:32,720 Speaker 7: so you want to go and get a proven guy. 69 00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:33,640 Speaker 2: Dylan is an option. 70 00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:36,480 Speaker 7: I still wouldn't and I know a lot of people 71 00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:38,720 Speaker 7: are wondering, I wouldn't put a strike through on a 72 00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:41,520 Speaker 7: guy like Ezekiel Elliott. Not quite yet sure, you know 73 00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:44,640 Speaker 7: me having some conversations with inside of this building and 74 00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:47,880 Speaker 7: in Zeke's camp. The dialogue has remained open between the 75 00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:50,920 Speaker 7: Cowboys and Ezekiel Elliott. They've had some sit downs. Now 76 00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:52,400 Speaker 7: the topic, how do. 77 00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:53,520 Speaker 5: You see that scenario? 78 00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:55,120 Speaker 2: He fits. 79 00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:57,640 Speaker 6: He fits in what we're talking about with an AJ Dillon. 80 00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:00,840 Speaker 6: He's a guy, he's a tough guy. He blitz pickups, 81 00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:05,000 Speaker 6: He's always aware. You know, he knows the situation, he 82 00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:07,760 Speaker 6: knows the team, they know him. You know. There's a 83 00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:10,640 Speaker 6: lot of positive things that way. You know, if you again, 84 00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:14,280 Speaker 6: I think Patrick's onto something here. JK. Dobbins is another 85 00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:16,400 Speaker 6: one that was with the Ravens. I think you talk 86 00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:19,240 Speaker 6: about Freeman with the Chicago Bears. If you gave me 87 00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:21,560 Speaker 6: a choice of who to pair as well as I 88 00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:25,560 Speaker 6: know these college guys, to me, a guy like Ezekiel 89 00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:29,400 Speaker 6: Elliott or then Dylan makes the most sense because on 90 00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:32,680 Speaker 6: third down you're not asking a rookie. And we've seen 91 00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:35,400 Speaker 6: guys like zeke Win in twenty sixteen when it came 92 00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:37,880 Speaker 6: to blitz pickup and how well he was able to 93 00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:41,000 Speaker 6: do that. We saw with Pollard how he had to 94 00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:44,200 Speaker 6: develop that way. So to me, I'm going for a 95 00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:47,240 Speaker 6: guy that trying and make a match of somebody I 96 00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:49,119 Speaker 6: know I could put on the field in third down. 97 00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:51,440 Speaker 6: If I don't want to put the rookie out there, 98 00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:54,320 Speaker 6: I could put a bigger guy, a blitz pickup guy, 99 00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:56,960 Speaker 6: and then my offense can kind of either run the 100 00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:00,400 Speaker 6: football to get short yardage conversions, or they can find 101 00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:01,880 Speaker 6: a way to throw the ball knowing that they have 102 00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:04,320 Speaker 6: somebody that could pick up in the backfield, or you 103 00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:06,719 Speaker 6: can swing the ball to them and allow them to 104 00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:08,000 Speaker 6: get to get your yardage. 105 00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:10,080 Speaker 7: And keep in mind, when it comes to Ezekiel Elliott 106 00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:13,400 Speaker 7: and the Cowboys parting ways, it was solely based upon salary. 107 00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:15,919 Speaker 7: Yeah right, it wasn't because he had fallen off of 108 00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:18,320 Speaker 7: the running back cliffs, so to speak, as far as 109 00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:21,000 Speaker 7: production ability is concerned. So this will be a scenario 110 00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:24,120 Speaker 7: where he'd be possibly returning at a price point that 111 00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:26,279 Speaker 7: they'd be extremely comfortable with and at a point in 112 00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:28,920 Speaker 7: his career where he understands that they are probably going 113 00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:31,720 Speaker 7: to use a top pick on a running back that 114 00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:34,159 Speaker 7: compliments him as well. So I think that makes a 115 00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:36,479 Speaker 7: lot of sense. So AJ Dillon, I would not put 116 00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:38,159 Speaker 7: Ezekiel Elliott out of that conversation. 117 00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:38,520 Speaker 2: JK. 118 00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:40,760 Speaker 7: Dobbins and Brian said, those are the types of backs 119 00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:41,719 Speaker 7: you're looking at right now. 120 00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:45,560 Speaker 5: Well, we'll see what happens today again. Free agency starts 121 00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:51,279 Speaker 5: officially at three pm, right, yeah, three pm time Central Times, Yes, 122 00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:53,720 Speaker 5: so we'll see what actually happens. I know a lot 123 00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:56,800 Speaker 5: of people have been freaking out online on social media 124 00:05:57,279 --> 00:06:01,520 Speaker 5: about the lack of movement and understendably. 125 00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:02,880 Speaker 6: So yeah, but that was going to be the case. 126 00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:05,479 Speaker 6: If you follow any one of the podcasts that we 127 00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:09,200 Speaker 6: do on this platform and or you listen or you 128 00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:11,840 Speaker 6: read Patrick's work or any of your work or anything 129 00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:14,520 Speaker 6: like that, you knew it was going to be. You know, 130 00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:17,719 Speaker 6: the all In thing kind of made us think something differently, 131 00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:21,320 Speaker 6: and then when wen we learned it all in was 132 00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:24,240 Speaker 6: really kind of the status quo. You know, they really 133 00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:26,720 Speaker 6: don't have money, They just don't when you know a 134 00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:29,800 Speaker 6: great example of that is, you know when they tried 135 00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:31,839 Speaker 6: to sign their you know, the running back the other day, 136 00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:37,080 Speaker 6: and they're into basically into a situation where four million 137 00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:39,400 Speaker 6: dollars is too much, you know. I mean, they have 138 00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:42,680 Speaker 6: price point is somewhere around three, you know, Zack Moss. 139 00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:46,240 Speaker 6: They're trying to sign Zack Moss potentially, and it got 140 00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:48,359 Speaker 6: to four million dollars and they just said we can't 141 00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:50,440 Speaker 6: go there, so you can like, okay, well then maybe 142 00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:52,960 Speaker 6: their price point is around three million dollars or less. 143 00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:56,640 Speaker 6: So when you're you know, there, they could have flipped switches. 144 00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:59,320 Speaker 6: I'm sure Patrick can tell you all about they could 145 00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:01,719 Speaker 6: have done this with. They could have done this with steel. 146 00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:03,640 Speaker 6: They could have done this with you know, all these 147 00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:06,039 Speaker 6: contracts that they have, you know that they could have 148 00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:09,080 Speaker 6: done with digs, and they chose not to do it. 149 00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:11,880 Speaker 6: And they chose not to do it because maybe they're 150 00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:14,440 Speaker 6: getting ready to clear the decks here. Maybe they're getting 151 00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:16,920 Speaker 6: ready to say, all right, you know what, we're going 152 00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:19,600 Speaker 6: to reset this thing, you know, and we'll see what 153 00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:21,840 Speaker 6: happens going forward. But they could have they could have 154 00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:24,679 Speaker 6: created enough money to go out and play in this game. 155 00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:28,080 Speaker 6: They chose not to because they have some things coming 156 00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:30,280 Speaker 6: up that they feel important that they have to do. 157 00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:30,800 Speaker 8: So. 158 00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:35,480 Speaker 6: I think that once those things kind of became on 159 00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:38,840 Speaker 6: the horizon and you saw them up close, you knew 160 00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:41,320 Speaker 6: they weren't going to do anything. But if they flipped 161 00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:43,960 Speaker 6: all those switches, all those things we talked about, boom, 162 00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:46,200 Speaker 6: they're going to play in this game. They chose not to. 163 00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:48,280 Speaker 7: And so here's here's the problem that I have, and 164 00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:52,320 Speaker 7: thanks for the segue brought us. The switches are there 165 00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:55,160 Speaker 7: to be flipped by the cowboys. And for those that 166 00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:58,200 Speaker 7: are listening who haven't followed yet on Twitter, here it is. 167 00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:01,640 Speaker 7: If you restroke your Trevonis deal, you get eight million dollars. 168 00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:04,880 Speaker 7: You restructure still, you get five million. You restructure Donovan Wilson, 169 00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:08,640 Speaker 7: you get three million. You're likely going to release Michael 170 00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:10,440 Speaker 7: Gallup if you can't find a trade partner, which you 171 00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:12,600 Speaker 7: probably won't. We'll see if that happens. If you do, 172 00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:14,680 Speaker 7: you post him, you set him as a post June 173 00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:17,440 Speaker 7: first designation. That's over nine million, almost ten million dollars. 174 00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:21,120 Speaker 7: That's what twenty five million dollars roughly. And I haven't 175 00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:23,600 Speaker 7: even talked about Deck's contract yet, So you can free 176 00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:25,920 Speaker 7: up twenty five million before you even touch DEAK. Now, 177 00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:28,560 Speaker 7: if you want to go ahead and restructure or extend DK, 178 00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:30,840 Speaker 7: throw another twenty one twenty two million dollars on top 179 00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:32,960 Speaker 7: of that they have roughly between just the switches I'm 180 00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:33,400 Speaker 7: talking about. 181 00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:34,680 Speaker 2: I haven't talked about anyone else. 182 00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:36,600 Speaker 7: You could do, Zach all of that, But just based 183 00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:39,160 Speaker 7: on what I've mentioned, that's forty five forty six million 184 00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:42,640 Speaker 7: dollars in cap savings waiting to be used if you 185 00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:44,520 Speaker 7: wanted to use it. But the fact that you're not 186 00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:47,240 Speaker 7: does not. It flies in the face of the all 187 00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:49,600 Speaker 7: in comment, right, And that's the problem that I have 188 00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:51,200 Speaker 7: with it is the problem that a lot of fans 189 00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:52,240 Speaker 7: are having, right it And. 190 00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:53,559 Speaker 2: I said, I tweeted it last night. 191 00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:57,559 Speaker 7: If you look at it from outside acquisitions, in the 192 00:08:57,559 --> 00:08:59,760 Speaker 7: first two days of free equency, free agency, this is 193 00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:03,120 Speaker 7: that's quote for the Cowboys, right. But the problem is 194 00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:05,240 Speaker 7: is you went into this saying you were all in, 195 00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:09,240 Speaker 7: so you set that expectation, right, so that expectation. 196 00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:10,800 Speaker 2: Is not being met in any regard. 197 00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:13,200 Speaker 7: And on top of that, what worsens it is this 198 00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:15,480 Speaker 7: time last year, one thing the Cowboys have been good 199 00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:17,920 Speaker 7: about is keeping some of their in house guys. Yes, 200 00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:20,240 Speaker 7: so not only did you not bring anyone in, which 201 00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:22,000 Speaker 7: flew in the face of your all in comment. Right 202 00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:24,600 Speaker 7: on top of that, now you're an overdraft when it 203 00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:26,840 Speaker 7: comes to you lost Durran song Strung, they lost Tyler, 204 00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:31,160 Speaker 7: Yadish and you Fowler, you lost Tony Pollard. 205 00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:36,040 Speaker 5: Hey we got a snapper, We got Trent that we 206 00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:37,000 Speaker 5: do need a snapper. 207 00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:40,600 Speaker 7: But my point is is you you are zero here 208 00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:45,199 Speaker 7: and you're in the negative here, so everyone's looking at 209 00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:49,760 Speaker 7: you saying what are you doing now? Of course, realistically speaking, 210 00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:51,960 Speaker 7: a deal might land today. The things are going to 211 00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:53,760 Speaker 7: start to pick up over the next several days because 212 00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:56,560 Speaker 7: as you get into the secondary and tertiary waves of freegency, 213 00:09:56,559 --> 00:10:00,480 Speaker 7: that's when the Cowboys really start doing their work. But again, 214 00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:02,960 Speaker 7: this is why the fan base is upset, and that's 215 00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:06,760 Speaker 7: justified because if the owner in general manager never says 216 00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:11,079 Speaker 7: all in, then how does this what's the perception of 217 00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:13,240 Speaker 7: what's going on right now? It wouldn't be as pressing 218 00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:15,120 Speaker 7: as it is right now. And then you tie that 219 00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:17,520 Speaker 7: to your head coach is going into the final year 220 00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:19,920 Speaker 7: of his contract, Your franchise quarterback is going into the 221 00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:22,800 Speaker 7: final year of his contract, you know, and then Tyron Smith. 222 00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:25,320 Speaker 2: Is he staying? Is he going Zach martin his country? 223 00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:27,280 Speaker 6: I wasn't close to the door in Tyron Smith though. 224 00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:30,640 Speaker 6: For me this and this is just my thought because 225 00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:33,640 Speaker 6: there's only one coach out there that knows how to 226 00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:37,360 Speaker 6: handle Tyron Smith, and that would be dan Quinn. Dan 227 00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:40,120 Speaker 6: Quinn saw it firsthand that if you don't practice him 228 00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:42,040 Speaker 6: and get him to the game, that you're probably going 229 00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:44,640 Speaker 6: to get thirteen games out of him. There's not many 230 00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:46,880 Speaker 6: other programs out there that are willing to just let 231 00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:49,000 Speaker 6: guys sit out of practice just to get him ready 232 00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:51,439 Speaker 6: for the game. You know, I talked to several coaches 233 00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:53,680 Speaker 6: last week about it, and I said, you know, hey, 234 00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:57,360 Speaker 6: we love Tyron Smith as a player, but what happens 235 00:10:57,400 --> 00:10:58,920 Speaker 6: to you is he's going to come in, he's gonna 236 00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:00,520 Speaker 6: have to learn a new system and all that, and 237 00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:02,760 Speaker 6: you're going to have to practice. We want our players 238 00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:04,880 Speaker 6: to practice. Jason Garrett used to talk about that all 239 00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:07,600 Speaker 6: the time. We want our players to practice. Every coach 240 00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:11,000 Speaker 6: that's ever coached Pee Wee High school, whatever, they want 241 00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:14,240 Speaker 6: their players to practice. So dan Quinn is the only 242 00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:16,679 Speaker 6: one with the Commanders that saw it like, okay, if 243 00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:19,080 Speaker 6: we had to do this, but the fact that he 244 00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:22,760 Speaker 6: hasn't got any type of offers yet, I think it's 245 00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:26,199 Speaker 6: pretty significant, you know. I think maybe people are saying, listen, 246 00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:29,600 Speaker 6: this tackle class is really deep in the draft. Might 247 00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:32,720 Speaker 6: not have to go that direction. It might be where 248 00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:35,920 Speaker 6: really where Tyron Smith doesn't have an option. And I 249 00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:39,160 Speaker 6: could be dead wrong about this, but right now, the 250 00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:42,080 Speaker 6: way you kind of read it is that there's teams 251 00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:44,400 Speaker 6: out there that are like, listen, we'll draft to tackle. 252 00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:47,280 Speaker 6: There's quality tackles here. We don't have to pay for 253 00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:50,720 Speaker 6: a guy that potentially can only play thirteen games, you know, 254 00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:53,599 Speaker 6: and we don't have to practice he doesn't practice. That 255 00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:56,680 Speaker 6: could be significant that he could come back hat in 256 00:11:56,720 --> 00:12:00,160 Speaker 6: hand and say listen, okay, I like being with you guys, know, 257 00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:02,120 Speaker 6: but I think a lot of it has to do too. 258 00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:05,079 Speaker 6: We'll see where Dallas is with this, because I think 259 00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:07,600 Speaker 6: the way the draft falls for Dallas. If Dallas gets 260 00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:10,440 Speaker 6: the tackle they want, I think that keeps Tyler Smith 261 00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:14,520 Speaker 6: that left guard. If they don't get the tackle they want, 262 00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:17,200 Speaker 6: maybe this makes it now where they have to move 263 00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:20,560 Speaker 6: Tyler Smith to left tackle. I think the draft is 264 00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:22,800 Speaker 6: going to dictate. They're not going to tell us what 265 00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:26,400 Speaker 6: they're gonna do with Tyler Smith. I believe they're gonna say, well, 266 00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:28,040 Speaker 6: we want him to play guard, and he's a he's 267 00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:30,520 Speaker 6: a Pro Bowl guard, and there's people that believe he 268 00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:33,360 Speaker 6: could be a Pro Bowl tackle, which he was, so 269 00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:36,720 Speaker 6: to me, I think the draft is going to dictate 270 00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:41,280 Speaker 6: what direction they'd go with Tyler Smith. That's just my opinion. 271 00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:44,199 Speaker 6: And again i'm not I'm not. It might happen today, 272 00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:47,839 Speaker 6: might happen tomorrow or the next day. I haven't closed 273 00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:52,560 Speaker 6: the door on Tyron Smith because because he's he's a 274 00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:57,760 Speaker 6: unique situation that most teams would love to have. But 275 00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:00,560 Speaker 6: there's a lot of things that go along with there's 276 00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:03,080 Speaker 6: a lot of things that go along with him being 277 00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:03,680 Speaker 6: on your team. 278 00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:04,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, there's baggage. 279 00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:07,360 Speaker 7: And that's why when the news broke that the meeting 280 00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:10,280 Speaker 7: between the Cowboys and Tyrant's representatives at the combine didn't 281 00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:11,920 Speaker 7: go well, that's why I said, hey, let it play out, 282 00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:14,800 Speaker 7: this is how it goes might and so many people 283 00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:16,319 Speaker 7: were writing it off or he's already going. 284 00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:17,520 Speaker 2: It's not going until he's. 285 00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:22,480 Speaker 6: Gone, Yeah, until it's official. Yeah, and he's he's out 286 00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:24,240 Speaker 6: there still. That's the thing you have to know. 287 00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:26,160 Speaker 7: And keep in mind we're saying he's out there, and 288 00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:28,480 Speaker 7: yes he's he's one of the more premium tackles left 289 00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:31,200 Speaker 7: tackles out there. But guess what, Tyler Biadis flew off 290 00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:33,800 Speaker 7: the board on day one, right? Are you telling me 291 00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:36,040 Speaker 7: that Tyler Biaddish has more value on the open market 292 00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:38,839 Speaker 7: than Tyron Smith. If that's the case, then it just 293 00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:40,280 Speaker 7: kind of goes to what we're saying as far as 294 00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:43,480 Speaker 7: don't close the door on the possible retention of Tyron Smith. 295 00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:45,840 Speaker 7: And if the Cowboys, if that happens and the Cowboys 296 00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:48,319 Speaker 7: can keep Tyron in the building, that would be massive. 297 00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:50,320 Speaker 2: That would be huge. That would be massive. 298 00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:52,600 Speaker 5: Well, let's go ahead and take our first break. When 299 00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:54,920 Speaker 5: we come back. I do want to circle back on 300 00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:57,960 Speaker 5: the whole situation as to why have the Cowboys not 301 00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:02,240 Speaker 5: restructure more contracks to free up some money and what 302 00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:05,400 Speaker 5: do you guys think is actually happening or what is 303 00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:08,680 Speaker 5: their thinking right now? After this break? 304 00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:12,800 Speaker 9: Todd thought it would be secure to jog in the 305 00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:15,800 Speaker 9: Cheetah Savannah. Todd believed the big Cat repellent he bought 306 00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:18,720 Speaker 9: online was reliable, and now Todd is trying to be 307 00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:21,440 Speaker 9: faster than this cheetah that can run eighty miles per hour. 308 00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:23,800 Speaker 9: But the good news is Todd has at and T 309 00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:26,560 Speaker 9: five G.

Amber, Thank you, Brian, thank you. 365 00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:54,360 Speaker 5: Well, let's go ahead and circle back, because we know 366 00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:57,800 Speaker 5: how we all feel currently. We know the moves that 367 00:16:57,840 --> 00:17:01,440 Speaker 5: could happen. But there's always two sides of the story, right, 368 00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:05,399 Speaker 5: There's always a why and just trying to get in 369 00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:09,399 Speaker 5: their heads and see what's happening over there. What do 370 00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:11,560 Speaker 5: you guys think is actually? 371 00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:12,359 Speaker 2: Oh yeah? 372 00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:20,560 Speaker 5: Segment presented by blockchain dot Com. There you go, Okay, 373 00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:25,119 Speaker 5: you guys just talked about how you guys feel, What 374 00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:28,160 Speaker 5: do you guys think they're thinking? What is the reasoning? 375 00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:32,560 Speaker 5: What is the possible reasoning if you had to try 376 00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:35,600 Speaker 5: to find some type of understanding as to what's going on, 377 00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:39,280 Speaker 5: because we all know when free agency starts, we knew 378 00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:43,840 Speaker 5: when legal tempering starts, and we also knew how much money. 379 00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:46,200 Speaker 5: They knew how much money they had available, so they 380 00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:49,320 Speaker 5: could have already made some moves to free up a 381 00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:52,200 Speaker 5: bunch of money to be able to use once free 382 00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:56,520 Speaker 5: agency hit. So why tell me a reason what's going on? 383 00:17:56,560 --> 00:17:58,920 Speaker 7: Because the math is right in front of us, right, 384 00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:00,760 Speaker 7: So they have all these switch that they can pull. 385 00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:03,040 Speaker 7: But the reason, one of the reasons they're probably not 386 00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:05,440 Speaker 7: pulling it is because they're staring at the brick wall 387 00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:08,560 Speaker 7: of twenty twenty five. All of this dead money that 388 00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:10,840 Speaker 7: they've been kicking down the cam from restructures, it's waiting 389 00:18:10,840 --> 00:18:12,760 Speaker 7: for him in twenty twenty five, and they can't push that. 390 00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:15,840 Speaker 7: What's waiting for them next season can't be pushed anymore. 391 00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:18,520 Speaker 7: So what they're trying to do is put themselves in 392 00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:21,280 Speaker 7: a position where they can be a competitive roster but 393 00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:24,840 Speaker 7: also have some cap rollover that helps them with what's 394 00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:26,280 Speaker 7: waiting for in twenty twenty five. 395 00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:27,760 Speaker 2: Now that's the fact. 396 00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:30,679 Speaker 7: Okay, the problem though, because what I'm about to say 397 00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:34,520 Speaker 7: doesn't make that untrue. But it's also true that you 398 00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:36,960 Speaker 7: said all in. So if you're saying all in, all 399 00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:39,680 Speaker 7: in is not worried about twenty twenty five salary cap. 400 00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:43,640 Speaker 7: It's about building a championship caliber team in twenty twenty four, 401 00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:46,400 Speaker 7: and then whatever happens after that is whatever happens after that. 402 00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:50,280 Speaker 2: I either rams for example, So if. 403 00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:52,080 Speaker 7: You want, if you're looking for a thought process, and 404 00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:54,119 Speaker 7: you're sitting there and you're beating your head against the 405 00:18:54,119 --> 00:18:56,080 Speaker 7: wall and you're like, oh I am barb Brian. No, 406 00:18:56,200 --> 00:18:58,320 Speaker 7: see why on earth are they not pulling these triggers. 407 00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:00,000 Speaker 7: You just told them how to free up forty five 408 00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:02,840 Speaker 7: forty six million dollars. It's because they're trying their best 409 00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:05,320 Speaker 7: not to free it up to use that money for 410 00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:08,159 Speaker 7: free agency. They want to use the majority of that 411 00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:10,800 Speaker 7: money to roll over to next season to help them 412 00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:12,760 Speaker 7: with what's waiting for them as far as dead money 413 00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:13,800 Speaker 7: in twelve. 414 00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:15,919 Speaker 5: You can still be all in with those two chips, 415 00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:18,280 Speaker 5: you know. No, you can't still be all in with 416 00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:21,760 Speaker 5: Technically you kind can. 417 00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:25,199 Speaker 7: Well, if you only have that's what I'm saying, If 418 00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:27,840 Speaker 7: you only have two chimps, you can still don't use those. 419 00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:29,960 Speaker 7: Those are two chips that you have in front of 420 00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:33,480 Speaker 7: you in the back. You got a couple duffel bags 421 00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:35,800 Speaker 7: full of chips that you can bring out that you're 422 00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:38,160 Speaker 7: not bringing out because you're squirreling them away. 423 00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:40,359 Speaker 2: But you can't. You can't do both things at the 424 00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:40,760 Speaker 2: same time. 425 00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:43,600 Speaker 7: You can't say you're all in and squirrel forty six 426 00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:44,840 Speaker 7: to fifty million dollars away. 427 00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:46,479 Speaker 2: Which direction do you want to go? 428 00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:48,320 Speaker 7: You gotta pick one because you can't go both in 429 00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:49,560 Speaker 7: both directions at the same time. 430 00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:54,520 Speaker 5: That's all. We'll see what kind of movements. 431 00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:58,520 Speaker 6: You know, Patrick's absolutely right, they're stearing twenty twenty five 432 00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:02,879 Speaker 6: right in the face. They'll never say the word rebuild, 433 00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:06,760 Speaker 6: but this has more of a more of a not 434 00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:10,160 Speaker 6: a rebuild, but a reset is what this has. I think. 435 00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:13,360 Speaker 6: You know, you look at your quarterback situation, you look 436 00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:16,960 Speaker 6: at your head coach. You know, there's a lot of 437 00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:19,719 Speaker 6: a lot of questions right now. I've always believed this 438 00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:24,240 Speaker 6: team will never be bad. They won't be Carolina bad 439 00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:28,760 Speaker 6: or Arizona bad or any of those themes because they 440 00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:32,400 Speaker 6: do draft well. Now, last year was a totally different situation. 441 00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:34,600 Speaker 6: We'll see if Mazie works out, you know, you know, 442 00:20:35,119 --> 00:20:36,920 Speaker 6: Mike's going to play him at the one technique and 443 00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:39,000 Speaker 6: try and put some weight on him and see if 444 00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:40,760 Speaker 6: he can build him back up to what he was 445 00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:43,880 Speaker 6: in college. But you know, they need the draft now. 446 00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:46,880 Speaker 6: It's even more important with all the holes that they're 447 00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:50,119 Speaker 6: having to fill. This draft has got to be huge, 448 00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:53,920 Speaker 6: you know, I mean every pick that they make will 449 00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:57,920 Speaker 6: be a Okay, this helps our tackle situation, This helps 450 00:20:57,960 --> 00:21:00,800 Speaker 6: our center situation, This helps our running back situation, this 451 00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:04,560 Speaker 6: helps our linebacker situation. You know that this draft is 452 00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:09,080 Speaker 6: going to be specifically targeting players, is what it's going 453 00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:13,080 Speaker 6: to do. And because say the twenty twenty five, all 454 00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:17,359 Speaker 6: the dead money that's been pushed into the future is 455 00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:19,760 Speaker 6: going to the bill is going to show up, and 456 00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:22,560 Speaker 6: they've got to be ready for the bill. And I 457 00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:25,400 Speaker 6: just feel like that they're in that point. They don't 458 00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:28,040 Speaker 6: have the money right now. Anything that they want to do, 459 00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:31,199 Speaker 6: they're going to try and make themselves is they're going 460 00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:35,960 Speaker 6: to try and make themselves as the best they can 461 00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:39,400 Speaker 6: in twenty twenty five. They're going to try. It could 462 00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:42,840 Speaker 6: be really really tough with the cap situation that it is. 463 00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:48,199 Speaker 6: But what's happened to them. They've drafted super well, so 464 00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:49,760 Speaker 6: all of a sudden you have players that they have 465 00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:53,199 Speaker 6: to pay that anybody in the league would pay their guys. Now, 466 00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:56,280 Speaker 6: they've paid some guys early. They gave money to Pollard, 467 00:21:56,640 --> 00:21:59,280 Speaker 6: you know with the franchise tag, they paid Steel early, 468 00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:02,359 Speaker 6: they paid Gallop early. You know they didn't have to, 469 00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:04,520 Speaker 6: but maybe you know, they saw something that they could 470 00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:06,520 Speaker 6: have got out of that. Those are kinds of deals 471 00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:08,960 Speaker 6: that may be a little bit troubling right now. But 472 00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:11,920 Speaker 6: they couldn't get the fifth year on Dak. And that's 473 00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:16,159 Speaker 6: on that's on on on the his agent, Todd Frantz France, 474 00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:19,240 Speaker 6: did a great job and negotiating that contract. He's getting 475 00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:22,000 Speaker 6: Dak back to the table quicker than Dallas wanted him 476 00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:24,720 Speaker 6: back at the table. That's just an agent being really 477 00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:27,680 Speaker 6: good at his gig. But now here's Dak once again 478 00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:29,359 Speaker 6: back at the table. You know, it felt like we 479 00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:31,000 Speaker 6: were in Oxnard three years ago. 480 00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:31,760 Speaker 5: Very quickly. 481 00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:34,480 Speaker 6: Yeah, that's what I'm saying. It happened very quickly. But 482 00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:37,000 Speaker 6: they couldn't get the fifth year on him. That hurt 483 00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:40,480 Speaker 6: Dallas and they couldn't get the contracts to stagger like 484 00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:43,040 Speaker 6: they needed to to give themselves. They all kind of 485 00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:46,520 Speaker 6: came at the same time. And again, that's that's drafting 486 00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:50,560 Speaker 6: Michael Parsons, that's draft and Digs that's draft in ceed Lamb. 487 00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:53,880 Speaker 6: That's back to back picks. You make Lamb and Digs 488 00:22:54,359 --> 00:22:57,760 Speaker 6: two guys that you're gonna pay, that's at the same class. 489 00:22:58,359 --> 00:23:01,040 Speaker 6: So that was a little that's little troubling for them 490 00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:01,680 Speaker 6: right now, I'll. 491 00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:03,280 Speaker 7: Tell you really worked in their favor that they were 492 00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:05,960 Speaker 7: able to get that Digs deal done. Yes, they did, yes, 493 00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:09,160 Speaker 7: because if that was still looming along with Lamp Parsons, 494 00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:11,480 Speaker 7: that would be a nightmare scenario right now. 495 00:23:11,359 --> 00:23:14,280 Speaker 5: That would have been tough. So as we say here today, 496 00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:19,560 Speaker 5: it's currently eleven twenty five on Wednesday. My question to 497 00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:22,439 Speaker 5: you guys, is there any move right now that the 498 00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:27,120 Speaker 5: Cowboys could make that would potentially change your opinion as 499 00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:29,879 Speaker 5: to how free agency is currently going for the Cowboys. 500 00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:35,399 Speaker 6: I don't think. To me, I'm some of the defensive 501 00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:38,119 Speaker 6: tackles that I really liked. Now we'll see, like a 502 00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:41,840 Speaker 6: guy like DJ Reader, if they could grab a defensive tackle. 503 00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:46,480 Speaker 6: If they can grab a legitimate one technique tackle. You know, 504 00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:49,880 Speaker 6: the Colts resigned their guy yesterday, Buffalo resigned their guy. 505 00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:52,879 Speaker 6: The two tackles I really really liked. But you know, 506 00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:55,800 Speaker 6: if all of a sudden they can get a reader 507 00:23:55,880 --> 00:23:59,520 Speaker 6: from Cincinnati, maybe his price comes down as a little 508 00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:02,960 Speaker 6: bit older guy. You know, that would help me a lot, 509 00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:05,520 Speaker 6: just is knowing that, Okay, I don't have to go 510 00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:07,600 Speaker 6: into this draft thinking about it one. Even though there's 511 00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:09,760 Speaker 6: some really good there's some good one techniques. It's not 512 00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:12,399 Speaker 6: like they're have in the past, but there's you know, 513 00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:15,160 Speaker 6: there's some guys that they can clearly, you know, say okay, 514 00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:16,960 Speaker 6: we could play this guy to one and we would 515 00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:18,960 Speaker 6: be just fine. The thing that's killing him right now 516 00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:21,760 Speaker 6: is the Mazzie Smith thing. If Mazzie would have just 517 00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:25,160 Speaker 6: been able to get on the field and chose some 518 00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:27,719 Speaker 6: promise and you know, I mean he was very frustrated 519 00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:30,080 Speaker 6: and so was the team. He lost all that weight. 520 00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:32,399 Speaker 6: Now you really don't know where he's at. So now here, 521 00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:35,200 Speaker 6: all of a sudden, instead of Mazzie Smith being okay, 522 00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:39,480 Speaker 6: we got a replacement here, now there's questions there. So 523 00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:43,360 Speaker 6: I'm looking at the one techniques, I'm looking at what linebackers. 524 00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:46,560 Speaker 6: You know, does Devin White do anything for you from Tampa? 525 00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:49,679 Speaker 6: You know that kind of I mean I've heard like 526 00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:53,240 Speaker 6: great things and I've heard really bad things about him. 527 00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:56,840 Speaker 6: So yeah, it's those are the kinds of things. If 528 00:24:56,840 --> 00:24:58,480 Speaker 6: you could just pick off one guy. And we mentioned 529 00:24:58,520 --> 00:25:02,960 Speaker 6: the running back thing. I watched AJ Dillon. I know 530 00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:04,880 Speaker 6: what AJ Dillon is. He's a two hundred and forty 531 00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:08,280 Speaker 6: seven pound player, but he does things for you, potentially 532 00:25:08,280 --> 00:25:12,520 Speaker 6: on third down if paired with the right guy, that 533 00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:15,720 Speaker 6: would make me feel better about the running back situation 534 00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:18,280 Speaker 6: because I don't have a lot of faith induced fun. 535 00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:21,960 Speaker 6: I think his height limits what you can do with them. 536 00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:24,439 Speaker 6: Maybe you could figure some things out, but just as 537 00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:28,080 Speaker 6: a as a cobac with somebody, I don't know if 538 00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:31,320 Speaker 6: that's something I would be excited about. 539 00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:35,560 Speaker 7: I need to see multiple moves on two separate roads. 540 00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:38,560 Speaker 7: I need to see some outside of the building acquisitions 541 00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:42,639 Speaker 7: at positions like nose tackle, linebacker for example. They lost 542 00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:45,560 Speaker 7: out here this morning on Eric Kendricks. Yeah it's going 543 00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:46,560 Speaker 7: to the charges, I believe. 544 00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:49,359 Speaker 6: Yeah. But the thing about yeah, the Kendricks thing to 545 00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:52,600 Speaker 6: me and just talking and talking with some people in 546 00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:55,360 Speaker 6: the building and outside. Kendricks is not the same guy 547 00:25:55,359 --> 00:25:57,400 Speaker 6: that played at Minnesota. Is he better than what you're 548 00:25:57,400 --> 00:26:00,760 Speaker 6: playing with right now? For sure? But a step I 549 00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:03,439 Speaker 6: watched him on tap myself. He's not that same player. 550 00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:06,479 Speaker 6: There's things about him that would he be an upgrade 551 00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:09,040 Speaker 6: of what you're currently playing with. Sure, but if you're 552 00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:13,280 Speaker 6: expecting him of Minnesota guy that Zimmer had, no not 553 00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:14,120 Speaker 6: even close now. 554 00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:16,600 Speaker 7: What you should be expecting, whether it would have been 555 00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:19,159 Speaker 7: Eric Kendricks or even like a Bobby Wagner. Bobby is 556 00:26:19,200 --> 00:26:21,840 Speaker 7: still playing at a high level. He's timeless at this time. 557 00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:24,320 Speaker 7: So let's say you go with a guy like Bobby Wagner, 558 00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:26,720 Speaker 7: huge splash in my opinion, especially if you're talking like 559 00:26:26,760 --> 00:26:29,159 Speaker 7: a day three, day four free agency. The money is 560 00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:32,000 Speaker 7: much more reasonable. Okay, So you get Bobby Wagner on 561 00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:35,399 Speaker 7: subjectively a reasonable deal that's an outside of the building, 562 00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:37,600 Speaker 7: and then you look inside the building and you say, Okay, 563 00:26:38,040 --> 00:26:41,119 Speaker 7: Stefan Gilmore, where are we at, Tyron Smith, where are 564 00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:41,480 Speaker 7: we at? 565 00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:43,520 Speaker 2: You need to get some of these because. 566 00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:47,320 Speaker 7: You lost three guys four technically you lost four guys, 567 00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:51,360 Speaker 7: Impact Guy and Dante Fowler impact guy in Durrence Armstrong, 568 00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:53,720 Speaker 7: I argue that you could upgrade at center and Tyler pad. 569 00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:56,040 Speaker 7: It's not a big deal, but at least Tony Pollard 570 00:26:56,080 --> 00:26:57,639 Speaker 7: was an impact guy for you. Maybe not as an 571 00:26:57,680 --> 00:27:00,280 Speaker 7: RB one, but he's an impact for RB two. You 572 00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:02,760 Speaker 7: need to start re signing some impact guys, whether that 573 00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:05,000 Speaker 7: be Jordan Lewis, Deefan Gilmore, top of the lizz is 574 00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:07,800 Speaker 7: Tyron Smith. So I need to see acquisitions both from 575 00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:12,000 Speaker 7: outside and insight. That's how you regain the confidence to say, Okay, 576 00:27:12,280 --> 00:27:14,240 Speaker 7: we get it. You didn't go all in on the 577 00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:16,800 Speaker 7: first two days, but you get some damn good talent 578 00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:20,440 Speaker 7: day through Day four, such such and such, so nose tackle, linebacker, 579 00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:22,960 Speaker 7: running back, you know, cornerback. 580 00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:24,560 Speaker 6: The Gilmore, the Lewis thing would be huge for this 581 00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:27,280 Speaker 6: football team. They will even though this draft is really 582 00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:31,040 Speaker 6: deep in corners, but they have only so many picks. 583 00:27:31,280 --> 00:27:33,200 Speaker 6: That's the problem. They're gonna have to figure out. They're 584 00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:35,560 Speaker 6: actually gonna have to move back in this draft. And 585 00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:37,560 Speaker 6: I wouldn't be surprised if they moved back in the 586 00:27:37,560 --> 00:27:39,960 Speaker 6: first round to pick up you know, maybe the first 587 00:27:40,040 --> 00:27:42,320 Speaker 6: or second round. I could see them moving back and 588 00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:43,480 Speaker 6: grabbing an extra three or. 589 00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:46,080 Speaker 5: It would be interesting because I see. 590 00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:47,360 Speaker 6: So many they don't have a four, and I see so. 591 00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:50,080 Speaker 5: Many people on social media and I'm talking from like 592 00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:54,080 Speaker 5: the fans perspective, them talking and wanting the Cowboys now 593 00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:57,920 Speaker 5: to move up instead of back so that they can 594 00:27:58,520 --> 00:27:59,960 Speaker 5: no get a talented place. 595 00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:02,439 Speaker 6: Yeah, they you know what, at twenty four, they're going 596 00:28:02,520 --> 00:28:05,280 Speaker 6: to get a talented player. You know, maybe one of 597 00:28:05,280 --> 00:28:07,960 Speaker 6: the centers falls to you, one of those offensive tackles. 598 00:28:08,280 --> 00:28:10,440 Speaker 6: Everything they've done with the offensive line has been plug 599 00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:13,080 Speaker 6: and play. They do a great job with plug and 600 00:28:13,119 --> 00:28:16,119 Speaker 6: play first round offensive lineman. So I have faith in 601 00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:18,879 Speaker 6: what they're going to do there. But if you move back, 602 00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:22,240 Speaker 6: say you go back to Buffalo, and we've talked about 603 00:28:22,280 --> 00:28:24,440 Speaker 6: this before in the Draft show. You go back to Buffalo, 604 00:28:25,240 --> 00:28:29,360 Speaker 6: you know, at their pick in you know, to twenty eight, 605 00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:31,840 Speaker 6: and you pick up their last pick of the in 606 00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:35,359 Speaker 6: the third round. Since you don't have a fourth round pick. 607 00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:39,760 Speaker 6: You end the second night with a pick. So now 608 00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:43,080 Speaker 6: you've got four players you've drafted inside the top one hundred. 609 00:28:43,640 --> 00:28:47,440 Speaker 6: That makes you feel a lot better about Day three 610 00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:50,120 Speaker 6: when you're gonna have to go and now you've got 611 00:28:50,120 --> 00:28:53,280 Speaker 6: compensatory picks. You can use, you can move around a 612 00:28:53,320 --> 00:28:56,920 Speaker 6: little bit. But if you give me four picks, by 613 00:28:56,960 --> 00:29:00,360 Speaker 6: the time day two ends, I'm feeling a lot better 614 00:29:00,360 --> 00:29:02,600 Speaker 6: about what I could do to help this football team. 615 00:29:03,040 --> 00:29:06,040 Speaker 6: That's that would be my strategy. Some way, somehow. I'm 616 00:29:06,040 --> 00:29:07,680 Speaker 6: gonna have to back up. I mean, they're gonna have 617 00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:09,640 Speaker 6: to back that first up. I'm gonna have to back 618 00:29:09,680 --> 00:29:13,080 Speaker 6: that two up and try and pick up another another pick, 619 00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:15,440 Speaker 6: or at least get a fourth round pick to start. 620 00:29:15,640 --> 00:29:18,240 Speaker 6: That's a hard round to sit in after, you know, 621 00:29:18,280 --> 00:29:21,240 Speaker 6: when day three starts and there's guys on that board 622 00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:23,320 Speaker 6: that you're like, damn, we got a second round grade 623 00:29:23,360 --> 00:29:24,760 Speaker 6: on that guy. We got a third round grade on 624 00:29:24,760 --> 00:29:26,880 Speaker 6: that run. And then all of a sudden, you're watching 625 00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:29,160 Speaker 6: guys just come off that board and you got no 626 00:29:29,440 --> 00:29:32,320 Speaker 6: and you're just watching it and you're and you're dying. 627 00:29:32,360 --> 00:29:35,200 Speaker 2: We've seen this movie, oh no, and you're dying. 628 00:29:34,920 --> 00:29:38,280 Speaker 6: With every pick. You are literally just dying, like and 629 00:29:38,320 --> 00:29:41,560 Speaker 6: you're watching and you're going, we should have been there, 630 00:29:41,640 --> 00:29:43,680 Speaker 6: we should have been there, we should and you know, 631 00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:46,280 Speaker 6: but hey, you got a quarterback out of the thing. 632 00:29:46,440 --> 00:29:49,200 Speaker 6: This this whole thing with Trey Lance this fourth round pick. 633 00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:52,440 Speaker 6: That might be the one that we look back and say, 634 00:29:53,760 --> 00:29:57,000 Speaker 6: they that was a good move. But right now I'm 635 00:29:57,040 --> 00:29:59,320 Speaker 6: sitting there dying because I don't have a fourth round pick, 636 00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:02,000 Speaker 6: right you know, that's kind of where But I'm going 637 00:30:02,080 --> 00:30:04,360 Speaker 6: to do my best to try and navigate that and 638 00:30:04,440 --> 00:30:06,960 Speaker 6: get one back, get a third or fourth round pick, 639 00:30:07,280 --> 00:30:10,040 Speaker 6: and make this single a little bit more manageable because 640 00:30:10,040 --> 00:30:12,800 Speaker 6: they got too many holes to fill. They can't they 641 00:30:12,840 --> 00:30:16,160 Speaker 6: can't sign everybody that we want them to, So they're 642 00:30:16,160 --> 00:30:18,440 Speaker 6: gonna have to just they're gonna have to hit this 643 00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:21,560 Speaker 6: draft in a way of and it's all probably going 644 00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:22,520 Speaker 6: to be a needs draft. 645 00:30:22,760 --> 00:30:25,040 Speaker 5: Everything they do is hoping that they can all be 646 00:30:25,080 --> 00:30:27,840 Speaker 5: an impact in the first year, which is tough to do. 647 00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:30,719 Speaker 6: They didn't. It didn't happen last year, But previous years 648 00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:34,040 Speaker 6: they've got impact players. If you look at guys like 649 00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:38,160 Speaker 6: Bland Hell, they didn't even draft steel bast They didn't 650 00:30:38,160 --> 00:30:40,800 Speaker 6: even draft him either, but they got him signed. You know, 651 00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:44,120 Speaker 6: that could be your starter at guard right there. They 652 00:30:44,200 --> 00:30:46,720 Speaker 6: those are guys that should have been drafted and they 653 00:30:46,840 --> 00:30:50,120 Speaker 6: but Dallas somehow lyle Collins back in the day, but 654 00:30:50,280 --> 00:30:53,040 Speaker 6: he had all these legal issues hovering over him, but 655 00:30:53,080 --> 00:30:55,360 Speaker 6: they got him, and he was a good player for them. 656 00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:58,800 Speaker 6: They need some of that magic to kind of reappear 657 00:30:58,840 --> 00:31:00,000 Speaker 6: for them in this particular. 658 00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:03,600 Speaker 7: Well, one thing they definitely have some magic for executing 659 00:31:03,760 --> 00:31:07,160 Speaker 7: is a scouting offensive lineman for a first round pick. Yeah, 660 00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:10,920 Speaker 7: so whomever they picking, the whomever they picked in the 661 00:31:10,920 --> 00:31:13,640 Speaker 7: first round based on their history that I'm just going 662 00:31:13,680 --> 00:31:15,200 Speaker 7: to go ahead and assume he can drop right in. 663 00:31:15,280 --> 00:31:16,400 Speaker 5: See. 664 00:31:16,480 --> 00:31:19,800 Speaker 6: I wish I wish we knew more about about what 665 00:31:19,840 --> 00:31:21,720 Speaker 6: they you know, what they thought about the kid are 666 00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:24,960 Speaker 6: North Carolina kid from last year the tack Awesome Richards. 667 00:31:25,280 --> 00:31:28,520 Speaker 6: I don't know, I know Awesome Richards. When I watched 668 00:31:28,560 --> 00:31:30,640 Speaker 6: him at North Carolina, I'm like, I told will, I go, 669 00:31:30,880 --> 00:31:33,400 Speaker 6: that's a good pick. It's a good pick. And then 670 00:31:33,440 --> 00:31:35,800 Speaker 6: you watch and it's like, also, they're playing a doga 671 00:31:35,880 --> 00:31:38,920 Speaker 6: and you're going, Okay, I don't know anymore. I mean 672 00:31:38,960 --> 00:31:41,280 Speaker 6: I don't. I mean, I'm watching Ausome Richards playing camp 673 00:31:41,400 --> 00:31:43,840 Speaker 6: left tackle, right tackle. I'm thinking, Okay, he's making a 674 00:31:43,880 --> 00:31:46,719 Speaker 6: little progress here. But obviously they didn't think enough of 675 00:31:46,800 --> 00:31:49,080 Speaker 6: him to put him out there instead of a doga 676 00:31:49,440 --> 00:31:51,240 Speaker 6: who we were all kind of like, I don't know, 677 00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:52,720 Speaker 6: I don't know about this one. 678 00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:55,000 Speaker 7: No, there were plenty of chances for Richard's yeah to 679 00:31:55,040 --> 00:31:58,320 Speaker 7: correct that rotation, and any fact that he didn't, I 680 00:31:58,360 --> 00:32:00,640 Speaker 7: don't know if it's because he couldn't, because they just 681 00:32:00,680 --> 00:32:01,320 Speaker 7: want to see more. 682 00:32:01,320 --> 00:32:03,719 Speaker 2: Well, but it's disheartening, is what it is. 683 00:32:03,760 --> 00:32:07,160 Speaker 6: They love Well, let's go, but the sublixations. 684 00:32:06,320 --> 00:32:08,320 Speaker 2: Of the shoulder kick shoulder both take a shoulder. 685 00:32:08,400 --> 00:32:10,880 Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean see, that's the problem is you know 686 00:32:10,960 --> 00:32:13,400 Speaker 6: you feel like that, Okay, we lose Tyron Smith. To me, 687 00:32:13,520 --> 00:32:16,160 Speaker 6: the best thing would be to kick Smith to tackle, 688 00:32:16,800 --> 00:32:19,480 Speaker 6: which they don't want to do. But I do think this, 689 00:32:19,920 --> 00:32:23,040 Speaker 6: and the more I watch this, I think that whatever, 690 00:32:23,120 --> 00:32:26,240 Speaker 6: if they get a tackle they want, Tyler Smith plays guard. 691 00:32:26,680 --> 00:32:29,600 Speaker 6: If they don't get a tackle they want, I would 692 00:32:29,640 --> 00:32:31,640 Speaker 6: be I would keep an eye on Tyler Smith kicking 693 00:32:31,680 --> 00:32:34,840 Speaker 6: outside the tackle and somebody else playing guard. That's what 694 00:32:34,880 --> 00:32:35,600 Speaker 6: I would keep an eye. 695 00:32:35,680 --> 00:32:38,200 Speaker 5: Oh, this conversation is trusting me out, like there's so 696 00:32:38,400 --> 00:32:40,040 Speaker 5: much done. 697 00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:43,240 Speaker 7: Not a promising situation right now.

All right, before we 764 00:35:57,560 --> 00:36:00,280 Speaker 5: end the show, I do want to discuss, Like I said, 765 00:36:01,040 --> 00:36:05,799 Speaker 5: we do face division rivals twice every season, so Let's 766 00:36:05,840 --> 00:36:10,319 Speaker 5: start off with dan Quinn, familiar face and what he 767 00:36:10,400 --> 00:36:14,160 Speaker 5: has done so far in free agency with his team 768 00:36:14,280 --> 00:36:17,120 Speaker 5: as the head coach of the Commanders. How do you 769 00:36:17,120 --> 00:36:20,240 Speaker 5: guys assess what he's done in the free agency? 770 00:36:20,880 --> 00:36:24,080 Speaker 7: Well, on paper, at the moment, they're better than they 771 00:36:24,080 --> 00:36:26,680 Speaker 7: were last year, So I mean he's making some progress 772 00:36:26,719 --> 00:36:28,360 Speaker 7: as far as improving that team. We still don't know 773 00:36:28,360 --> 00:36:30,600 Speaker 7: what their quarterback situation looks like as far as their 774 00:36:30,640 --> 00:36:32,839 Speaker 7: franchise quarterback. We'll see if they use their top pick 775 00:36:32,880 --> 00:36:36,200 Speaker 7: on that probably will, but we'll see. He's making some 776 00:36:37,080 --> 00:36:40,960 Speaker 7: impressive moves, a lot of raiding the Cowboys cabinet, but 777 00:36:41,160 --> 00:36:43,160 Speaker 7: you know, we'll see. We'll see how that all plays 778 00:36:43,160 --> 00:36:45,160 Speaker 7: out in the end. But I mean, this isn't dan 779 00:36:45,239 --> 00:36:47,239 Speaker 7: Quinn's first rodeo as a head coach. He knows how 780 00:36:47,239 --> 00:36:49,439 Speaker 7: to build a team and the team that he built 781 00:36:49,480 --> 00:36:51,840 Speaker 7: in Atlanta actually did make it to the Super Bowl, 782 00:36:52,040 --> 00:36:53,400 Speaker 7: so he knows how to build a team that can 783 00:36:53,440 --> 00:36:56,680 Speaker 7: win in the regular season in the postseason. Obviously, they 784 00:36:56,680 --> 00:36:59,520 Speaker 7: fail short when they fell short, but I think the 785 00:36:59,520 --> 00:37:02,480 Speaker 7: Commanders going to be something that the Cowboys need to 786 00:37:02,520 --> 00:37:06,440 Speaker 7: worry about in twenty twenty four. For two reasons. Number one, 787 00:37:06,920 --> 00:37:09,920 Speaker 7: they are improving, whether you like it or not, they're improving. 788 00:37:10,200 --> 00:37:13,239 Speaker 7: And number two, until the Cowboys start making some moves, 789 00:37:13,239 --> 00:37:14,760 Speaker 7: the Cowboys are not improving. 790 00:37:14,840 --> 00:37:15,680 Speaker 2: So there you go. 791 00:37:15,960 --> 00:37:17,480 Speaker 5: They've made a lot of moves. 792 00:37:17,840 --> 00:37:21,319 Speaker 6: Yeah, they had a lot of cap space, and they 793 00:37:21,360 --> 00:37:23,480 Speaker 6: also have the second overall pick, and they earned that 794 00:37:23,520 --> 00:37:26,120 Speaker 6: by losing nine straight games or eight straight games, however 795 00:37:26,160 --> 00:37:29,160 Speaker 6: many games they lost. That was a team in a 796 00:37:29,200 --> 00:37:31,920 Speaker 6: while back that I thought was a quarterback away. I 797 00:37:31,920 --> 00:37:34,839 Speaker 6: thought defensively they were going to be much better. They're 798 00:37:34,880 --> 00:37:37,760 Speaker 6: awful in the secondary, they were awful rushing the passer. 799 00:37:39,239 --> 00:37:43,080 Speaker 6: They've got skill guys on the offense. You know, I'm 800 00:37:43,440 --> 00:37:47,080 Speaker 6: super impressed with that, you know, but you know they're 801 00:37:47,120 --> 00:37:49,400 Speaker 6: trying to add with you know, I think we were 802 00:37:49,400 --> 00:37:51,960 Speaker 6: all here on this show. This is no disrespect to 803 00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:54,719 Speaker 6: this gentleman, Tyler Beyottish. We were all kind of I'm sorry. 804 00:37:54,760 --> 00:37:57,480 Speaker 6: I should speak for myself. I was ready to move 805 00:37:57,520 --> 00:38:01,560 Speaker 6: on from Tyler Beyottish. That a guy that I was 806 00:38:01,600 --> 00:38:04,040 Speaker 6: okay with moving on from ended up at one of 807 00:38:04,040 --> 00:38:07,879 Speaker 6: your chief rivals. That's okay for me. Dorn's armstrong. We'll 808 00:38:07,880 --> 00:38:10,000 Speaker 6: see how he handles now. Having to be the starter. 809 00:38:10,400 --> 00:38:14,280 Speaker 6: Dorrin's armstrong coming off the bench is a good player. 810 00:38:15,239 --> 00:38:18,440 Speaker 6: You know, we'll see Dante Feller. We've talked about Dante Faller, 811 00:38:18,480 --> 00:38:21,200 Speaker 6: how much we really really enjoy watching him play. It 812 00:38:21,200 --> 00:38:23,040 Speaker 6: seems like he plays twelve plays. It seems like he 813 00:38:23,080 --> 00:38:26,160 Speaker 6: has three impact plays in twelve plays. I respect that. 814 00:38:26,680 --> 00:38:30,279 Speaker 6: You know, Austin Eckler, the running back we'll see might 815 00:38:30,280 --> 00:38:32,200 Speaker 6: be down time the end. I felt like they had 816 00:38:32,239 --> 00:38:34,520 Speaker 6: a pretty couple of good running backs there. You know, 817 00:38:34,560 --> 00:38:37,800 Speaker 6: when you look at when you look at Brian Robinson, 818 00:38:38,120 --> 00:38:40,560 Speaker 6: I thought, was, you know, at Austin Eckler. Great, he 819 00:38:40,600 --> 00:38:43,560 Speaker 6: added a pass catcher and and all those things on that. 820 00:38:43,680 --> 00:38:47,759 Speaker 6: So to me, the best player that they've added was 821 00:38:47,760 --> 00:38:52,400 Speaker 6: Frankie Louvu, the linebacker from the Carolina Panthers. Everybody else 822 00:38:52,480 --> 00:38:56,080 Speaker 6: in that thing, I would have to say, it's just okay, 823 00:38:56,360 --> 00:38:58,960 Speaker 6: just kind of a okay. That's you know, it's not 824 00:38:59,040 --> 00:39:02,240 Speaker 6: like bow dan Quinn knocked this one out of the park. 825 00:39:03,040 --> 00:39:05,359 Speaker 6: A couple of players that we like, but I think 826 00:39:05,520 --> 00:39:10,279 Speaker 6: overall though, that he's kind of adding Zach Ertz very 827 00:39:10,360 --> 00:39:12,880 Speaker 6: much reminds me of what Jason Witten was at the 828 00:39:12,960 --> 00:39:15,399 Speaker 6: very end of his career with the Dallas Cowboys, catch 829 00:39:15,440 --> 00:39:18,160 Speaker 6: the ball for five yards, get tackled. That's what Zach 830 00:39:18,280 --> 00:39:21,200 Speaker 6: Ern says. We saw him last year at Arizona. So 831 00:39:21,400 --> 00:39:26,000 Speaker 6: to me, I'm not overly impressed. And if they turn 832 00:39:26,040 --> 00:39:29,920 Speaker 6: around and draft, if they turn around and draft Drake 833 00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:34,880 Speaker 6: May from North Carolina, I'm going to think they went 834 00:39:34,920 --> 00:39:37,239 Speaker 6: the wrong way on that one. You know, I like 835 00:39:37,360 --> 00:39:39,480 Speaker 6: Drake May, but there's probably three other guys I like 836 00:39:39,520 --> 00:39:42,279 Speaker 6: more than Drake May. So I don't want them to 837 00:39:42,480 --> 00:39:45,279 Speaker 6: get some other quarterbacks I don't want them to get 838 00:39:45,320 --> 00:39:47,560 Speaker 6: But if they draft Drake May, and I'm willing to 839 00:39:47,560 --> 00:39:50,600 Speaker 6: be wrong about it, admitted if I am, But I 840 00:39:50,680 --> 00:39:52,440 Speaker 6: don't know if that's the path that I would go. 841 00:39:52,560 --> 00:39:55,439 Speaker 6: So this team right here, I think there's a couple 842 00:39:55,480 --> 00:39:57,759 Speaker 6: of things they did well, but there's a lot of 843 00:39:57,800 --> 00:40:00,120 Speaker 6: that I had. I probably wouldn't have done that. With 844 00:40:00,160 --> 00:40:03,480 Speaker 6: all the money that they have. Well, they they got 845 00:40:03,520 --> 00:40:08,080 Speaker 6: bodies that well, you guys might might think differently. 846 00:40:08,239 --> 00:40:10,200 Speaker 5: No, no, not page. 847 00:40:10,200 --> 00:40:12,200 Speaker 6: I'm just thinking about I'm just thinking about what we 848 00:40:12,239 --> 00:40:15,760 Speaker 6: were thinking about about a guy like Tyler Smith. Actually 849 00:40:15,880 --> 00:40:20,759 Speaker 6: Tyler you know they gave Tyler Biottish ten million dollars. 850 00:40:21,040 --> 00:40:23,280 Speaker 6: I don't think the Cowboys were going that that way. 851 00:40:23,640 --> 00:40:25,160 Speaker 6: I don't think they were going that way at all. 852 00:40:25,800 --> 00:40:30,160 Speaker 6: So I the commanders, Uh, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm. I'm 853 00:40:30,200 --> 00:40:31,399 Speaker 6: a wait and see guy with them. 854 00:40:31,480 --> 00:40:32,279 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's the same. 855 00:40:32,360 --> 00:40:34,600 Speaker 7: I mean, they've, like I said, through the first two days, 856 00:40:34,680 --> 00:40:35,960 Speaker 7: they've improved. 857 00:40:35,520 --> 00:40:36,760 Speaker 2: Over what they spend a lot of money. 858 00:40:36,880 --> 00:40:39,600 Speaker 7: However, you don't you still don't know what their quarterback 859 00:40:39,640 --> 00:40:42,560 Speaker 7: situation looks like. I mean, before you even get into 860 00:40:42,600 --> 00:40:44,720 Speaker 7: anything else, if you don't know what your quarterback situation 861 00:40:44,800 --> 00:40:46,920 Speaker 7: looks like, then you got to put a pin in it. 862 00:40:47,040 --> 00:40:51,319 Speaker 5: Yeah, all right, New York Giants. They've also made quite 863 00:40:51,320 --> 00:40:54,840 Speaker 5: a few moves. What do you assess? How do you 864 00:40:54,880 --> 00:40:58,359 Speaker 5: assess their free agency? 865 00:40:58,640 --> 00:41:02,000 Speaker 7: The Giants really have been and I mean when you 866 00:41:02,040 --> 00:41:03,880 Speaker 7: look at the NFC East moves orlack there were of 867 00:41:03,920 --> 00:41:07,040 Speaker 7: obviously the Cowboys at the bottom of that. Washington and 868 00:41:07,200 --> 00:41:09,680 Speaker 7: Philly sit the top. So when it comes to the Giants, 869 00:41:09,719 --> 00:41:13,440 Speaker 7: I mean, you lose Saquon Barkley, right, Yeah, you know, 870 00:41:13,719 --> 00:41:15,839 Speaker 7: you bring whatever it was it Donald is that who 871 00:41:15,880 --> 00:41:16,320 Speaker 7: they brought it in. 872 00:41:16,960 --> 00:41:18,560 Speaker 6: No, they brought in Drew Lock. 873 00:41:18,719 --> 00:41:19,600 Speaker 2: Drew Lock that's what it was. 874 00:41:19,600 --> 00:41:22,879 Speaker 7: So you bring in Drew Lock, you again, I will 875 00:41:22,880 --> 00:41:24,840 Speaker 7: say it again, you don't know what your quarterback situation 876 00:41:24,920 --> 00:41:27,279 Speaker 7: looks like. So I respect Drew Lock and I like 877 00:41:27,360 --> 00:41:30,000 Speaker 7: what he did in his time with the Seahawks. When 878 00:41:30,120 --> 00:41:32,439 Speaker 7: Gino went down for those couple of games, he came 879 00:41:32,480 --> 00:41:35,560 Speaker 7: in won at least one big game in Seattle. So 880 00:41:35,600 --> 00:41:38,200 Speaker 7: that that's a solid acquisition, especially considering you have no 881 00:41:38,320 --> 00:41:40,680 Speaker 7: clue what the future holds for Daniel Jones. 882 00:41:40,719 --> 00:41:42,920 Speaker 2: But that means that you QB. You have a QB battle. 883 00:41:42,960 --> 00:41:44,760 Speaker 7: If you got two qbs, you don't have one QB. 884 00:41:45,719 --> 00:41:48,560 Speaker 7: But know if you have two quarterbacks competing, that means 885 00:41:48,600 --> 00:41:51,839 Speaker 7: you don't have eighty right. So and you lose sa Quan, 886 00:41:51,880 --> 00:41:54,080 Speaker 7: which is the heart and soul of your offense, you 887 00:41:54,160 --> 00:41:58,200 Speaker 7: lose them to a divisional rival. So I mean, Giants, 888 00:41:58,280 --> 00:42:01,239 Speaker 7: will they be competitive, sure, but I'm not looking at 889 00:42:01,239 --> 00:42:03,480 Speaker 7: them right now through the first two or three days 890 00:42:03,520 --> 00:42:05,440 Speaker 7: of free agency on the same level as I'm looking 891 00:42:05,480 --> 00:42:07,400 Speaker 7: at Philly and what the Commanders have done. 892 00:42:07,520 --> 00:42:10,160 Speaker 6: The Giants have tried to help their offensive line throughout 893 00:42:10,160 --> 00:42:13,680 Speaker 6: their existence. They've tried to do it with draft picks. 894 00:42:13,680 --> 00:42:16,440 Speaker 6: They've tried to do it through free agency. They signed 895 00:42:16,480 --> 00:42:20,600 Speaker 6: a couple, They signed a tackle from the Raiders. They 896 00:42:20,600 --> 00:42:25,200 Speaker 6: signed John Runyon from the Green Bay Packers. We'll see 897 00:42:25,200 --> 00:42:28,520 Speaker 6: if they just continually throw money and high draft picks 898 00:42:28,520 --> 00:42:31,680 Speaker 6: and capital at that position, at those positions and it 899 00:42:31,719 --> 00:42:33,600 Speaker 6: hasn't worked out, We'll see if it does this time 900 00:42:33,640 --> 00:42:36,600 Speaker 6: around for him. I liked the signing of Devin Singletary 901 00:42:36,640 --> 00:42:39,160 Speaker 6: though I do like that one. I felt like that 902 00:42:39,160 --> 00:42:41,880 Speaker 6: that was a pretty good signing for them. The trade 903 00:42:41,920 --> 00:42:45,160 Speaker 6: for Brian Burns, I think they actually stole Brian Burns 904 00:42:45,200 --> 00:42:48,480 Speaker 6: because Carolina had a chance to take Brian Burns and 905 00:42:48,520 --> 00:42:51,520 Speaker 6: trade him last year for a first round pick, and 906 00:42:51,560 --> 00:42:53,920 Speaker 6: the Giants got him for a second round pick. So 907 00:42:54,040 --> 00:42:57,160 Speaker 6: now you talk about Thibodeau and Burns on the edge 908 00:42:57,480 --> 00:43:01,280 Speaker 6: with Dexter Lawrence in the middle. That makes a little 909 00:43:01,280 --> 00:43:04,160 Speaker 6: bit of sense to me what they're trying to do there. 910 00:43:04,200 --> 00:43:07,040 Speaker 6: So trading a second round pick, there's probably somebody not 911 00:43:07,160 --> 00:43:09,320 Speaker 6: on their board that they did. Maybe there's not another 912 00:43:09,520 --> 00:43:11,920 Speaker 6: edge that they liked in the second round. There's a 913 00:43:11,920 --> 00:43:13,640 Speaker 6: lot of good edges in this draft, but they're probably 914 00:43:13,680 --> 00:43:15,399 Speaker 6: looking at it like, geez all, we had to give 915 00:43:15,480 --> 00:43:17,279 Speaker 6: up was a two and a five or something to 916 00:43:17,320 --> 00:43:20,879 Speaker 6: get this guy. I think they stole that guy right there. 917 00:43:20,920 --> 00:43:23,360 Speaker 6: So I like the Burns trade and I'd like the 918 00:43:23,400 --> 00:43:26,800 Speaker 6: Singletary edition. And we'll see what happens with the offensive line. 919 00:43:27,040 --> 00:43:30,200 Speaker 6: They've still got to find a way their quarterback situation, 920 00:43:30,520 --> 00:43:33,239 Speaker 6: and then they're also the skill guys at receiver, but 921 00:43:33,360 --> 00:43:35,719 Speaker 6: sitting there in the sixth hole, they could address both 922 00:43:35,760 --> 00:43:37,279 Speaker 6: those positions if they wanted to. 923 00:43:37,960 --> 00:43:40,479 Speaker 5: Well, let's go ahead and to end the show, dive 924 00:43:40,520 --> 00:43:45,040 Speaker 5: into what Philly has done. They have been known to 925 00:43:45,160 --> 00:43:47,759 Speaker 5: be a team that has been able to spend some 926 00:43:47,920 --> 00:43:51,040 Speaker 5: money and make big moves during free agency. So far 927 00:43:51,360 --> 00:43:56,920 Speaker 5: this year they have signed Bryce Huff, Sagwin Barkley, CJ Garner, Johnson, 928 00:43:57,080 --> 00:43:57,920 Speaker 5: Brandon Graham. 929 00:43:58,160 --> 00:44:00,759 Speaker 6: Graham However, you. 930 00:44:01,000 --> 00:44:05,240 Speaker 5: Rick Lovado, Brandon Man and then Sack Bond. 931 00:44:05,600 --> 00:44:09,120 Speaker 7: So Philly has been cooking and I have Philly atop 932 00:44:09,200 --> 00:44:10,799 Speaker 7: the NFC East as far as through the first two 933 00:44:10,840 --> 00:44:12,960 Speaker 7: days of free agency. At first you look at the 934 00:44:12,960 --> 00:44:15,680 Speaker 7: fact that they lost Jason Kelce to retirement and then 935 00:44:15,800 --> 00:44:18,920 Speaker 7: Fletcher Cox to retirement, You're thinking, Okay, they're moving in 936 00:44:18,960 --> 00:44:20,799 Speaker 7: the wrong direction. And I love every bit of this, 937 00:44:20,920 --> 00:44:22,400 Speaker 7: and then what do you see them do? They go 938 00:44:22,440 --> 00:44:24,120 Speaker 7: out and they get Bryce Huff and then they bring 939 00:44:24,120 --> 00:44:26,799 Speaker 7: back CJ. Gardner Johnson to help boaster a secondary that 940 00:44:26,920 --> 00:44:30,879 Speaker 7: was just absolute toast last season with Brad Berry and Slay. 941 00:44:31,000 --> 00:44:33,279 Speaker 7: You get sa Kwon Barkley, You lose DeAndre Swift, but 942 00:44:33,320 --> 00:44:36,560 Speaker 7: you get sa Kwon Barkley, right, And I don't think 943 00:44:36,600 --> 00:44:39,759 Speaker 7: it's arguable. I love Swift obviously, go dogs, but a 944 00:44:39,880 --> 00:44:42,759 Speaker 7: healthy Barkley keyword being healthy. A healthy Barkley gives you 945 00:44:42,840 --> 00:44:45,960 Speaker 7: more than what DeAndre Swift gives So maybe that's an upgrade. 946 00:44:46,000 --> 00:44:48,600 Speaker 7: We'll see how that plays out. Bryce Huff huge acquisition, 947 00:44:48,760 --> 00:44:50,319 Speaker 7: but we also need to see what happens with this 948 00:44:50,360 --> 00:44:54,320 Speaker 7: a Sun Riddick stuff. Reports are that he's being shopped 949 00:44:54,320 --> 00:44:56,600 Speaker 7: for a possible trade. If a Sound Retick is not 950 00:44:56,640 --> 00:44:58,279 Speaker 7: on the Philadelphia Eagles defense, that. 951 00:44:58,360 --> 00:45:00,760 Speaker 2: Is a massive up backwards. 952 00:45:00,760 --> 00:45:03,680 Speaker 7: He is a just an electric pass rusher, and I 953 00:45:03,719 --> 00:45:06,000 Speaker 7: get it they're looking for more reps for you know, 954 00:45:06,160 --> 00:45:08,560 Speaker 7: my former dog, Nolan Smith. I get that, but Hassan 955 00:45:08,680 --> 00:45:10,880 Speaker 7: is already proven and he's still in this prime So 956 00:45:11,280 --> 00:45:16,040 Speaker 7: all told, I don't see the Eagles are taking steps 957 00:45:16,040 --> 00:45:18,480 Speaker 7: forward they've had some massive losses, two future Hall of 958 00:45:18,520 --> 00:45:21,720 Speaker 7: Fame guys. You lose those guys, that hurts. It absolutely hurts, 959 00:45:21,760 --> 00:45:24,160 Speaker 7: no pun intended. But then when you replace them with 960 00:45:24,200 --> 00:45:26,360 Speaker 7: a guy like Bryce Huff who's a young guy in 961 00:45:26,400 --> 00:45:29,680 Speaker 7: his prime, he's eating well, you boaster your secondary. You 962 00:45:29,680 --> 00:45:31,719 Speaker 7: get Sakuon Barkley. If he can stay healthy, he can 963 00:45:31,760 --> 00:45:33,920 Speaker 7: be a problem for you alongside Jalen Hurts in that 964 00:45:34,000 --> 00:45:37,879 Speaker 7: running attach. So yeah, the Philadelphia Eagles, as they tend 965 00:45:37,880 --> 00:45:40,400 Speaker 7: to do in the off season, they cook in free agency, 966 00:45:40,440 --> 00:45:41,319 Speaker 7: and they're cooking right now. 967 00:45:41,440 --> 00:45:44,000 Speaker 6: The thing that I worry about is and people are 968 00:45:44,040 --> 00:45:46,840 Speaker 6: gonna if you clip this. You know, shame on you what. 969 00:45:46,920 --> 00:45:48,200 Speaker 2: I'm about to say. 970 00:45:49,640 --> 00:45:51,759 Speaker 6: But you know, shame on you if you clip this 971 00:45:51,840 --> 00:45:56,040 Speaker 6: and plan it for everybody but we If you're a 972 00:45:56,120 --> 00:46:01,280 Speaker 6: Cowboy fan, you don't want Saquon Barkley to become healthy 973 00:46:01,360 --> 00:46:04,200 Speaker 6: like Christian McCaffrey has for the San Francisco forty nine ers. 974 00:46:04,800 --> 00:46:08,080 Speaker 6: Christian McCaffrey was an often injured player for the Carolina 975 00:46:08,120 --> 00:46:12,120 Speaker 6: Panthers and they moved on from him, and Saquon Barkley 976 00:46:12,239 --> 00:46:15,800 Speaker 6: has been a killing. Has been an often injured player 977 00:46:16,560 --> 00:46:19,719 Speaker 6: for the New York Giants, and your hope as a 978 00:46:19,719 --> 00:46:21,920 Speaker 6: Cowboy fan is that he doesn't all of a sudden 979 00:46:21,960 --> 00:46:25,879 Speaker 6: find sixteen games. Sixteen games in sixteen games, that's your 980 00:46:25,920 --> 00:46:28,960 Speaker 6: hope right there. I mean, I'm not wishing injury on anybody, 981 00:46:29,000 --> 00:46:32,480 Speaker 6: but he has been an often injured player. It's amazing 982 00:46:32,520 --> 00:46:35,640 Speaker 6: to me that this team has paid their quarterback what 983 00:46:35,719 --> 00:46:39,040 Speaker 6: they've done and all the players they have their roster. 984 00:46:39,160 --> 00:46:41,400 Speaker 6: You can go player for player with their roster and 985 00:46:41,440 --> 00:46:45,360 Speaker 6: the Cowboys players and they still find ways to make moves. 986 00:46:46,480 --> 00:46:50,160 Speaker 6: That's you know, I mean, that's that's a fact that 987 00:46:50,320 --> 00:46:52,840 Speaker 6: you when you start to talk about the best rosters 988 00:46:52,880 --> 00:46:57,120 Speaker 6: in the NFC, Philadelphia Dallas were neck and neck on 989 00:46:57,160 --> 00:46:59,959 Speaker 6: that last year. I mean, you talk to personnel guys, 990 00:47:00,200 --> 00:47:02,640 Speaker 6: they'll tell you, hey, those are two of the best 991 00:47:02,719 --> 00:47:05,880 Speaker 6: rosters in the NFC right there, and they find a 992 00:47:05,880 --> 00:47:09,279 Speaker 6: way to continually add players to it. They're really bad 993 00:47:09,320 --> 00:47:11,720 Speaker 6: at linebacker, they were last year. They added Zach Brown 994 00:47:12,280 --> 00:47:15,359 Speaker 6: from the Saints. We'll see with the with Bryce Huff 995 00:47:15,400 --> 00:47:19,040 Speaker 6: where they play him and all that. Getting CJ. Gardner 996 00:47:19,120 --> 00:47:21,239 Speaker 6: Johnson back I think is a big thing for him. 997 00:47:21,280 --> 00:47:23,200 Speaker 6: He was in Detroit for one year, but he was 998 00:47:23,280 --> 00:47:25,360 Speaker 6: kind of a heart and soul player for the Eagles. 999 00:47:25,400 --> 00:47:27,759 Speaker 6: I think they really didn't want to lose him, but 1000 00:47:27,840 --> 00:47:30,120 Speaker 6: Detroit blew him out of the water. They got to 1001 00:47:30,160 --> 00:47:33,440 Speaker 6: figure out their cornerback situation. That's that's where they're looking. 1002 00:47:33,560 --> 00:47:36,919 Speaker 6: And we'll see what they do at center because Cam. 1003 00:47:36,960 --> 00:47:39,520 Speaker 6: I think Cam Jurgens is going to be their center. 1004 00:47:40,800 --> 00:47:43,000 Speaker 6: But they might say, what if they draft the best 1005 00:47:43,000 --> 00:47:46,400 Speaker 6: center in the draft, you know, And that's that's where 1006 00:47:46,440 --> 00:47:49,439 Speaker 6: the Cowboys are kind of sitting. Do they want to 1007 00:47:49,760 --> 00:47:52,560 Speaker 6: Dallas would like an opportunity have either the best tackle 1008 00:47:52,600 --> 00:47:55,120 Speaker 6: they can get or the best center and make that choice. 1009 00:47:55,840 --> 00:47:58,239 Speaker 6: Philadelphia could take the best center off the board for 1010 00:47:58,320 --> 00:48:01,680 Speaker 6: you there with Powers Johnson and so that that right there, 1011 00:48:01,680 --> 00:48:05,520 Speaker 6: the kid from Oregon that could be up a big 1012 00:48:05,600 --> 00:48:08,000 Speaker 6: gut punch for you right there, in fact, that they 1013 00:48:08,040 --> 00:48:10,000 Speaker 6: go for the best center in the draft instead of 1014 00:48:10,000 --> 00:48:13,840 Speaker 6: replacing them with Cam Jurgens. So they it's amazing that 1015 00:48:13,920 --> 00:48:16,000 Speaker 6: they signed their quarterback and they have all this money 1016 00:48:16,120 --> 00:48:18,880 Speaker 6: allocated to guys, and it seems like that they continually 1017 00:48:18,920 --> 00:48:22,560 Speaker 6: make moves that that's something you got to kind of tip. 1018 00:48:22,320 --> 00:48:24,880 Speaker 2: Your cap to him for Kylie Rosman doesn't sit still, No, 1019 00:48:25,120 --> 00:48:25,560 Speaker 2: he does not. 1020 00:48:26,200 --> 00:48:29,239 Speaker 5: It's very impressive. It's very impressive the way that they 1021 00:48:29,239 --> 00:48:31,080 Speaker 5: hand but that was with the division last year. 1022 00:48:32,280 --> 00:48:34,800 Speaker 7: It all has to play out in the field their teams. 1023 00:48:34,920 --> 00:48:37,880 Speaker 7: Every year they win free agency and can't get it 1024 00:48:37,920 --> 00:48:39,440 Speaker 7: done when it needs to get done. And not to 1025 00:48:39,440 --> 00:48:42,160 Speaker 7: say that the Cowboys are, but if you're sitting on 1026 00:48:42,200 --> 00:48:44,239 Speaker 7: the same couch the Cowboys are sitting on and you 1027 00:48:44,360 --> 00:48:47,840 Speaker 7: won free agency, then you know who's the biggest loser 1028 00:48:47,880 --> 00:48:48,640 Speaker 7: of those two losers. 1029 00:48:48,680 --> 00:48:49,000 Speaker 6: I guess. 1030 00:48:50,880 --> 00:48:55,040 Speaker 5: I guess one way to look at it, half a glass, 1031 00:48:55,080 --> 00:48:56,359 Speaker 5: half empty or half full. 1032 00:48:56,719 --> 00:48:59,000 Speaker 2: It's all the same couch and there's only one champion. 1033 00:48:59,200 --> 00:49:01,759 Speaker 7: So if you didn't holdays that Lombardy, then doesn't matter 1034 00:49:01,760 --> 00:49:03,279 Speaker 7: if you want the free agency where you or not. 1035 00:49:03,880 --> 00:49:08,200 Speaker 5: Well, we'll see what happens today again. Free agency officially 1036 00:49:08,200 --> 00:49:12,000 Speaker 5: starts at three pm, where teams can actually sign players, 1037 00:49:12,360 --> 00:49:14,600 Speaker 5: and we'll see if there are any actual moves happening. 1038 00:49:14,640 --> 00:49:19,640 Speaker 5: Take your center the park, Dang, then Brian, give no hope. 1039 00:49:21,360 --> 00:49:22,680 Speaker 6: Maybe you get a running back. Maybe you get a 1040 00:49:22,719 --> 00:49:24,960 Speaker 6: running back. Derek keeping eye keeping on. 1041 00:49:25,120 --> 00:49:27,359 Speaker 2: That's why he took this week off. Derek new he's 1042 00:49:27,400 --> 00:49:28,400 Speaker 2: at the beach somewhere. 1043 00:49:28,520 --> 00:49:32,160 Speaker 5: He's all right. Well, thank you guys so much for 1044 00:49:32,239 --> 00:49:38,239 Speaker 5: tuning in for for Patrick Walker, Brian Broadus, I remember you. 1045 00:49:38,400 --> 00:49:40,320 Speaker 5: See how this has been the break on Dallas Cowboys 1046 00:49:40,360 --> 00:49:41,280 Speaker 5: dot com radio. 1047 00:49:42,840 --> 00:49:45,800 Speaker 1: This has been a production of Dallascowboys dot Com and 1048 00:49:45,960 --> 00:49:47,799 Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
