Hey m, I was about to say my name. 8 00:00:41,159 --> 00:00:44,559 Speaker 1: Hey guys, welcome back to another episode of The Break. 9 00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,760 Speaker 1: I am not Derek Eagleton, but he just walked into 10 00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:52,360 Speaker 1: right on time. About time. We are ready to go. 11 00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:55,760 Speaker 1: We got lots to talk about Jerry Jones. I'll keep 12 00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:59,400 Speaker 1: spanning until Derek decides to take over. All right, let's 13 00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:01,880 Speaker 1: just get in to it. Jerry Jones, he talked on 14 00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:06,400 Speaker 1: the fan today. Very interesting, very interesting because we I 15 00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:10,959 Speaker 1: felt from what I heard myself that it wasn't the 16 00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:19,080 Speaker 1: usual you know, dream seller, optimistic, hyped up Jerry Jones 17 00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:22,399 Speaker 1: that we are used to hearing and seeing for the 18 00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:26,600 Speaker 1: most part. But I just wanted to get y'all's opinion 19 00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:29,200 Speaker 1: on some of the things that he did say in 20 00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:32,520 Speaker 1: regards to Odell and where they're at currently. This is 21 00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:34,880 Speaker 1: the second day of their visit, so there's still like 22 00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:38,080 Speaker 1: a second part of it, and we still haven't necessarily 23 00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:41,720 Speaker 1: heard what the status is as far as is physical 24 00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:46,039 Speaker 1: and how that went specifically. So just overall thoughts on 25 00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:48,360 Speaker 1: what you guys heard from Jerry. I think it's like 26 00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:50,120 Speaker 1: you said, it's got to work out for both sides, 27 00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:52,240 Speaker 1: and he was adamant about that it's got to work 28 00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:55,440 Speaker 1: for this year. And you know, if you just if 29 00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:57,680 Speaker 1: you listen to Jerry enough, you know that this is 30 00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:01,800 Speaker 1: he probably you know, it wasn't that optimistic about it. 31 00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:04,480 Speaker 1: It didn't sound as optimistic, but he also got to 32 00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:08,080 Speaker 1: remember that there's negotiations going on here and in the 33 00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:10,400 Speaker 1: middle of it, and not just it's not other teams 34 00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:13,840 Speaker 1: that are listening, it's his agent listening maybe Odell himself. 35 00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:17,240 Speaker 1: So there's a lot of cat and mouse to this situation. 36 00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:19,600 Speaker 1: It didn't sound like it was like he has a 37 00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:22,359 Speaker 1: pen in hand ready to do this. But then again, 38 00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:26,720 Speaker 1: you know, we've we've been duped before about what things 39 00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:30,119 Speaker 1: look like on the surface. Kind of feel like there's 40 00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:33,400 Speaker 1: a couple of things going on here. One of them. 41 00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:36,519 Speaker 1: I think you're absolutely right, Nick about the negotiation aspect 42 00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:39,680 Speaker 1: of it. I think another thing is the realization. And 43 00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:42,320 Speaker 1: I've always felt this about Jerry Jones. You asked him 44 00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:44,000 Speaker 1: a question, He's going to try and give you the 45 00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:46,359 Speaker 1: best answer he can give. I don't think Jerry's in 46 00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:48,800 Speaker 1: the business of lying to you. I don't think, you know, 47 00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:51,520 Speaker 1: I mean he's I think he's very honest about the 48 00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:54,359 Speaker 1: assessment of his team. You know. I think he's just, 49 00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:56,440 Speaker 1: you know, honest about you know, he was trying to 50 00:02:56,480 --> 00:03:00,080 Speaker 1: tell you why ask Eliott didn't start. You know, that 51 00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:01,440 Speaker 1: was one of the things. It was like, listen, I'm 52 00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:03,280 Speaker 1: not trying to tell you it was nothing he did 53 00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:06,200 Speaker 1: wrong or bad or anything like that. You know, he's 54 00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:08,280 Speaker 1: he's a leader on this team, and he went to 55 00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:10,880 Speaker 1: his defense to be honest. And you know, I think, 56 00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:13,320 Speaker 1: you know, that's something that he's trying to get that 57 00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:17,120 Speaker 1: out there, and that's that's great. I appreciate about him. 58 00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:19,880 Speaker 1: I think there are some concerns about the knee. I 59 00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:23,160 Speaker 1: think there's some concerns about it long term. I think 60 00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:26,360 Speaker 1: there's some concerns about it. How fast can you get 61 00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:29,560 Speaker 1: ready to play right now? You know, and Jerry and 62 00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:32,639 Speaker 1: his crew they want him to play as quickly as possible. 63 00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:35,160 Speaker 1: I don't see this as being like, Okay, we're gonna 64 00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:37,760 Speaker 1: get two games out of you potentially, and then it's 65 00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:40,560 Speaker 1: you know, going to be all over with I think 66 00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:44,640 Speaker 1: there's some honest concerns about it, and you know, we'll see, 67 00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:47,840 Speaker 1: you know, they still might get the deal done. This 68 00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:50,160 Speaker 1: might be a place where Odell Beckham says, listen, I 69 00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:53,520 Speaker 1: understand the knee's not perfect. I'm gonna take some time here. 70 00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:56,520 Speaker 1: I'll give you a break on this, you know, and 71 00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:59,600 Speaker 1: if and if you get enough of a break on 72 00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:03,920 Speaker 1: you know, on you know, him being available, then maybe 73 00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:05,640 Speaker 1: you can make this thing work and the way you 74 00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:07,520 Speaker 1: need it to work. So I kind of feel like 75 00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:10,240 Speaker 1: that's where where they're at right now. They're they're trying 76 00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:12,600 Speaker 1: to figure out like, Okay, we understand where your knee is, 77 00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:15,840 Speaker 1: and we understand your availability, and this is what we're 78 00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:17,560 Speaker 1: willing to do to make that work. And if that's 79 00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:20,440 Speaker 1: okay with you, then we could get a deal done. 80 00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:23,800 Speaker 1: If it doesn't appear that way, then either you know, 81 00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:26,160 Speaker 1: he could go somewhere else or he could completely sit 82 00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:28,920 Speaker 1: out the season and try and do this all over 83 00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:31,840 Speaker 1: in the springtime again. Yeah. You know what's actually interesting 84 00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:34,320 Speaker 1: to me I heard on one or five dot three 85 00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:38,360 Speaker 1: the Fan last week they interviewed m Josina Anderson, who 86 00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:41,840 Speaker 1: is bought us close to ODE's friend on covering this 87 00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:44,240 Speaker 1: thing as anybody you'll find in the media, and there 88 00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:47,080 Speaker 1: was something she said, and Bobby Belt actually called it out. 89 00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:49,280 Speaker 1: And I don't know if I paid as much attention 90 00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:51,960 Speaker 1: to it as I should, but her her she said, 91 00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:53,680 Speaker 1: and she's kind of kind of glossed over it, but 92 00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:56,720 Speaker 1: she said, if Odell decides to play this right right 93 00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:59,520 Speaker 1: And I think and Bobby brought it back up this morning. 94 00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:01,640 Speaker 1: I heard him talking about it, and I think that's 95 00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:04,400 Speaker 1: kind of the crux of this issue. You have on 96 00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:07,320 Speaker 1: one side, it doesn't seem like it's even been decided 97 00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:10,240 Speaker 1: on Odell's side, that he's actually thinks he's gonna be 98 00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:12,520 Speaker 1: ready to be able to play this year. You got 99 00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:14,520 Speaker 1: Jerry on the opposite side, and here was his quote 100 00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:17,040 Speaker 1: this morning. We want to certainly see something that gives 101 00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:19,719 Speaker 1: us every opportunity to have a big year with a 102 00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:22,719 Speaker 1: big year this year with him. So you got the 103 00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:25,400 Speaker 1: Cowboys saying we really need to help this year. You 104 00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:27,920 Speaker 1: got Odell, or at least his camp or people that 105 00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:30,240 Speaker 1: are close to him saying, you know, I don't even 106 00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:31,839 Speaker 1: know if he's going to be ready to play this year. 107 00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:34,880 Speaker 1: And I think that is in my opinion. I think 108 00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:37,719 Speaker 1: that's what we're starting to hear a little bit of now, 109 00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:40,720 Speaker 1: is there's a little bit of that's the riff, you know. 110 00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:43,000 Speaker 1: And I actually had the question for you guys. I'd 111 00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:45,000 Speaker 1: love to hear your opinions on this. If you were 112 00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:47,080 Speaker 1: sitting in Jerry's chair and you were having to make 113 00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:51,159 Speaker 1: a decision about him, would you be willing to sign 114 00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:55,160 Speaker 1: Odell Beckham Junior for a deal that if you knew 115 00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:57,000 Speaker 1: he wasn't going to play this year? Do you think 116 00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:59,520 Speaker 1: it's worth it for next year or maybe even the 117 00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:01,520 Speaker 1: year after? Did that to go ahead and do the deal? 118 00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:03,400 Speaker 1: And by the way, here's the part you gotta think about. 119 00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:05,440 Speaker 1: Even if you don't think he's necessarily going to play 120 00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:07,880 Speaker 1: this regular seasons, he may be available to you in 121 00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:10,440 Speaker 1: the postseason. Does he provide insurance for you if one 122 00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:13,240 Speaker 1: of your guys gets hurt in the postseason? All that 123 00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:15,320 Speaker 1: being considered, what would you do if you were Jerry? 124 00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:19,400 Speaker 1: I wouldn't sign him. I don't think so. I mean, 125 00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:21,440 Speaker 1: and again, I don't know I've looked at a knee, 126 00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:23,640 Speaker 1: and if I did, I would know how to evaluate it, probably, 127 00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:26,599 Speaker 1: But I mean, I just I just his knee, Okay, 128 00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:31,159 Speaker 1: not yours. Just need a knee now, okay, um, now calfs. 129 00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:34,400 Speaker 1: I can probably be a specialist on that. Now, I 130 00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:36,919 Speaker 1: just I don't. I don't think I would. And the 131 00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:39,120 Speaker 1: reason why is And I don't mean to be like 132 00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:41,760 Speaker 1: the wet blanket on this because everyone's excited about it. 133 00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:44,800 Speaker 1: But I fast forward to the spring of next year 134 00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:48,080 Speaker 1: in free agency. Okay, Cowboys need this this They don't 135 00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:49,880 Speaker 1: have any money. We all know that. Are they gonna 136 00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:52,240 Speaker 1: go get a thirty year old receiver that doesn't play 137 00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:54,440 Speaker 1: special teams? That could be here? Number two and three? 138 00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:56,680 Speaker 1: When you know CD's gonna need a deal and you 139 00:06:56,760 --> 00:06:59,400 Speaker 1: already signed Gallup and you probably drafted someone because you 140 00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:01,760 Speaker 1: don't really like what Tolbert did all that stuff. I 141 00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:03,839 Speaker 1: don't think you're gonna sign a guy like that anyways. 142 00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:05,400 Speaker 1: So if it doesn't help you right now, I just 143 00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:08,120 Speaker 1: think their needs are different because he wants the latch on. 144 00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:10,440 Speaker 1: Odell wants the latch onto a team right now, preferably 145 00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:12,240 Speaker 1: a team that has a chance to win, and then 146 00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:14,640 Speaker 1: get himself ready rehabbing and for free and all that 147 00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:16,600 Speaker 1: stuff and gettingself ready for the next year. And the 148 00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:18,440 Speaker 1: Cowboys want a guy ready to play this year. I 149 00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:20,640 Speaker 1: just think that their needs are different. I could be 150 00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:22,120 Speaker 1: a little bit of a smart ass here. How old 151 00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:26,280 Speaker 1: was James Washington? How old? Yeah, they signed James Washington. 152 00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:28,680 Speaker 1: They went and got a veteran receiver. It was a 153 00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:30,960 Speaker 1: million dollars. See, that's what I'm saying, though, I mean 154 00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:34,360 Speaker 1: they they went and got one. I mean, that's that's right. 155 00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:37,480 Speaker 1: But but I mean they to me, that's what I'm saying. 156 00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:41,200 Speaker 1: If yeah, you wouldn't yeah you I was understanding what 157 00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:43,440 Speaker 1: you're saying. Would they sign on an Odell next year? Like, 158 00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:46,560 Speaker 1: I think that's the thing. Yeah, I think that's the thing. 159 00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:49,280 Speaker 1: I think that's the thing. And and to your point, it's, yeah, 160 00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:51,640 Speaker 1: it have to be for a lot less money, you know. 161 00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:55,640 Speaker 1: I they they did. They got rid of Cooper and 162 00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:59,280 Speaker 1: they brought a veteran guy in, but it was for cheat. Yeah, 163 00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:02,080 Speaker 1: so you know that's kind of where you're like going, Well, 164 00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:06,040 Speaker 1: they've brought receivers in before, right, But but yeah, but 165 00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:08,040 Speaker 1: it's gonna have to be for the money. This if 166 00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:11,080 Speaker 1: this guy, you know, to be honest with you, if 167 00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:14,640 Speaker 1: he doesn't get the deal that he wants, I wouldn't play. 168 00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:18,760 Speaker 1: I don't care. You know, it's not you know, rally 169 00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:21,440 Speaker 1: back next year and see if you can drum up 170 00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:24,880 Speaker 1: a market like you know, try and convince Nick that, 171 00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:27,520 Speaker 1: you know, hey, I'm worth more than a million dollars. 172 00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:30,440 Speaker 1: You know, I'm worth five million dollars. You know, try 173 00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:34,199 Speaker 1: and convince people that that's actually the case here. But 174 00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:40,600 Speaker 1: me personally, I'm troubled on this one because I feel 175 00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:43,640 Speaker 1: like having him, even if it was for two or 176 00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:46,640 Speaker 1: three games, I kind of feel like that he would 177 00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:50,320 Speaker 1: help you. But long term, I mean Nick said something 178 00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:52,319 Speaker 1: the other day. They kind of got my attention. I've 179 00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:54,640 Speaker 1: used it on the radio. When you start to think 180 00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:57,680 Speaker 1: about his contract, if it's long term, what does that 181 00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:01,160 Speaker 1: do to CD's contract, you know, I mean Nick brought 182 00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:02,800 Speaker 1: it up. I think it's an excellent point. If you're 183 00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:07,320 Speaker 1: negotiating right now with Odell Beckham and your CD Lamb's camp, 184 00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:08,920 Speaker 1: you're going, well, what are you talking to him for? 185 00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:12,000 Speaker 1: My guys doing? You know, why would you and all? 186 00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:14,080 Speaker 1: You know? And then you can also the guy can 187 00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:16,800 Speaker 1: said well, Jesus got rid of Amari Cooper. They just 188 00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:19,280 Speaker 1: moved on from him like nothing. So I mean maybe 189 00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:21,560 Speaker 1: that gives you scares you a little bit. But I 190 00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:23,880 Speaker 1: kind of feel like though that that if if I 191 00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:26,880 Speaker 1: can't get him, like I need him for this year, 192 00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:29,160 Speaker 1: and it's it is only just two three games, I 193 00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:32,320 Speaker 1: don't think I would do this. I just don't. I don't. 194 00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:35,680 Speaker 1: I mean, they've got receivers that are coming along, and 195 00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:38,079 Speaker 1: and like we just said, or I just said, you 196 00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:41,199 Speaker 1: got James Washington in the hole in case if something 197 00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:44,480 Speaker 1: happens to one of these receivers, you know you would 198 00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:46,439 Speaker 1: probably this time of year, what would you do? You 199 00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:49,720 Speaker 1: would go get James Washington if he was available. That's 200 00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:52,160 Speaker 1: what he's already, You've already got him. Yeah. Yeah, I'm 201 00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:55,240 Speaker 1: actually pretty annoyed if by the whole situation, Like there's 202 00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:59,000 Speaker 1: been so much hype, right and yesterday you see him 203 00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:01,280 Speaker 1: at the MAVs and you see him with Mica and 204 00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:04,880 Speaker 1: Trevon and everything. You see them all smiling and oh, 205 00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:07,360 Speaker 1: this is great, great chemistry and everything, and then you 206 00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:10,640 Speaker 1: listen to Jerry Jones this morning and then to me personally, 207 00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:13,559 Speaker 1: everything kind of took a turn and it's like, Okay, 208 00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:17,120 Speaker 1: this doesn't really sound great. Specifically, when they asked him 209 00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:22,600 Speaker 1: about his availability and when he would be playing, Jerry 210 00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:24,920 Speaker 1: kind of took a pause there and thought about it, 211 00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:27,760 Speaker 1: and he's like, well, that's relative depending how you look 212 00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:31,640 Speaker 1: at it. And he could play one snap or you know, 213 00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:34,800 Speaker 1: be in the playoffs or help you in the super Bowl. 214 00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:39,000 Speaker 1: Who knows. But the fact that from my understanding that 215 00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:42,360 Speaker 1: he's not and again we don't really know where he's 216 00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:46,440 Speaker 1: at with the injury, but not willing to and correct 217 00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:49,280 Speaker 1: me if I'm wrong to do like a workout and 218 00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:52,840 Speaker 1: allowed teams to actually see you, allowed the Cowboys to 219 00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:57,840 Speaker 1: see you run around do something. That's a problem. That's 220 00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:03,400 Speaker 1: a huge gamble that and I understand like the Cowboys position, 221 00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:06,520 Speaker 1: and Jerry even admitted it that it doesn't make him 222 00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:10,800 Speaker 1: confident or comfortable to do this kind of signing without 223 00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:15,000 Speaker 1: being able to see and analyze him on the field 224 00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:20,520 Speaker 1: doing things physically. So it's just it's it's a very 225 00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:25,240 Speaker 1: tricky situation. But as of right now, based on today's 226 00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:29,240 Speaker 1: mood and what I heard, I don't think this has 227 00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:32,440 Speaker 1: headed the right direction, and looking into next year, I 228 00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:34,960 Speaker 1: wouldn't sign him as of right now for that. So 229 00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:37,040 Speaker 1: I'm gonna agree with you guys in that ass. You know, 230 00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:39,600 Speaker 1: it's it's it's funny. I think they have a better 231 00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:42,480 Speaker 1: idea of the knee. At least they've got to see 232 00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:45,160 Speaker 1: the player physically, they've got to move the leg and 233 00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:48,400 Speaker 1: all that. I'm gonna say this, and I have no 234 00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:50,800 Speaker 1: insight on this, I really don't. I mean, nobody is 235 00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:54,880 Speaker 1: saying a damn word about this. But I know working 236 00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:57,719 Speaker 1: with Britt Brown and Jim Mauer, I know, working with 237 00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:03,800 Speaker 1: doctor Cooper, the front office trust those guys more than anything. 238 00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:07,280 Speaker 1: I mean, they they drafted Jalen Smith, you know why, 239 00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:10,840 Speaker 1: because Dan Cooper did that surgery that you know, everybody's like, 240 00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:13,200 Speaker 1: take him off the board, man, this guy ever gonna 241 00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:15,920 Speaker 1: play again? This guy's does that and the other the 242 00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:18,760 Speaker 1: Cowboys said, Noah, that's our second round pick right there. 243 00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:21,320 Speaker 1: Dan Cooper did, the doctor did the surgery. They know, 244 00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:25,320 Speaker 1: they they trust their medical staff more than anybody I 245 00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:27,319 Speaker 1: think in the league. I think there's some teams that 246 00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:29,959 Speaker 1: would say, yeah, fine, medical staff, thank you very much, 247 00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:33,120 Speaker 1: We're just gonna take this player anyway. These guys here, 248 00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:36,480 Speaker 1: they they carry a big stick in that room. And 249 00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:39,560 Speaker 1: if Brent Brown and Jim Mauer and doctor Dan Cooper 250 00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:42,760 Speaker 1: and doctor Fowl and everybody else says the sneeze is 251 00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:45,200 Speaker 1: just not right, it's just not ready yet, you know 252 00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:49,280 Speaker 1: he needs time. And I guarantee you Mike McCarthy said 253 00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:52,200 Speaker 1: it before. He trusts this medical staff. He said it before. 254 00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:55,840 Speaker 1: Then Jerry and Steven have kept this medical staff here 255 00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:59,600 Speaker 1: as coaches have been let go, they've kept the same 256 00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:02,880 Speaker 1: medical staff. You know why they trust him. So if 257 00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:06,400 Speaker 1: this medical staff is saying that he's not ready, the 258 00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:09,320 Speaker 1: knee is just not right, he needs more time. You know, 259 00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:11,200 Speaker 1: if you want to sign him, will work with him. 260 00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:14,280 Speaker 1: But let me just tell you why I wouldn't do it. 261 00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:16,840 Speaker 1: I think that carries a big stick in that. The 262 00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:18,920 Speaker 1: timing of it I think is just off. Like like 263 00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:21,760 Speaker 1: Amber just said, you don't go buy a car and 264 00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:24,880 Speaker 1: then the owners tell you you can't drive it right now. 265 00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:26,679 Speaker 1: You can't test drive it, because that's all you're trying 266 00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:28,120 Speaker 1: to do. Because if you can't test drive it, can't 267 00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:30,559 Speaker 1: try it. Yeah, And because he that's why I say 268 00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:33,360 Speaker 1: the timing is off. He's not ready to go run 269 00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:35,480 Speaker 1: routes and make cuts and all that because you're gonna 270 00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:37,959 Speaker 1: make decisions based off the way I look. That's why 271 00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:41,000 Speaker 1: players don't want to put bad tape out there if 272 00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:43,839 Speaker 1: they're not ready, because you're gonna judge me on how 273 00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:46,320 Speaker 1: I look, and I'm not ready to be judged just yet. 274 00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:49,760 Speaker 1: So you know that's that's that's the way it is. 275 00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:51,959 Speaker 1: Nobody wants to take pictures eight o'clock in the morning. Yeah, 276 00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:54,400 Speaker 1: I mean, like, let me get ready before I'm ready 277 00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:57,840 Speaker 1: to go do this. But here's another part of that too, 278 00:13:57,880 --> 00:13:59,360 Speaker 1: Like you said, if you want us to work with them, 279 00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:02,520 Speaker 1: they trust the training staff, you know, like the it's 280 00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:04,840 Speaker 1: a gamble too, because maybe Jerry and them do want 281 00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:07,000 Speaker 1: to sign him next seat. Yeah, now you can be 282 00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:09,040 Speaker 1: the first to the party and say I got my 283 00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:12,000 Speaker 1: great rehab crew that work with him on the cords 284 00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:14,080 Speaker 1: until then, until he's ready to go, and I don't 285 00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:16,120 Speaker 1: have to fight everyone else that wants to jump back 286 00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:18,480 Speaker 1: in in March when he's a free agent. I already 287 00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:20,480 Speaker 1: did it. I did the work, I bet, I bet 288 00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:22,960 Speaker 1: the bullet, and now I got him for next year. 289 00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:25,280 Speaker 1: If they want to go that route, that's a route too. 290 00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:28,040 Speaker 1: That's that's a that's a great point. And you know 291 00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:31,320 Speaker 1: you're also looking at a situation that that that Jerry 292 00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:34,160 Speaker 1: and Steven might say, we appreciate everything you guys just 293 00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:37,840 Speaker 1: said about this player. We're going to sign him. He'll 294 00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:39,560 Speaker 1: be We're just going to sign him. You know that. 295 00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:42,080 Speaker 1: We don't care. We were you know, thanks we yet. 296 00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:43,880 Speaker 1: But Nick's right, you know, if you want to, if 297 00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:45,680 Speaker 1: you just want to knock it out for next year, 298 00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:47,560 Speaker 1: and it's not going to kill you. I mean, I 299 00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:49,080 Speaker 1: think they've got a lot of guys they got to 300 00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:52,040 Speaker 1: sign next year though, right They've got a pretty significant 301 00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:54,320 Speaker 1: and I think they've got zero cap money. That's also 302 00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:56,880 Speaker 1: why to me, unless you're getting help out of him 303 00:14:56,920 --> 00:14:58,960 Speaker 1: this year. Yeah, I don't know if it makes sense. 304 00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:02,600 Speaker 1: Because what you need more than anything else right now, 305 00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:06,560 Speaker 1: that too, what you need right now is you need cheap, 306 00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:08,960 Speaker 1: good players, and you can do that in the draft. 307 00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:11,360 Speaker 1: There are always good receivers you can find in the 308 00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:14,520 Speaker 1: draft on the second round, third round. Now, see this 309 00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:16,600 Speaker 1: is what happens with Jalen to That's that's yeah. But 310 00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:18,200 Speaker 1: the thing about it is like I would look at 311 00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:20,160 Speaker 1: it if I'm the Cowboys, if I'm looking at a 312 00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:23,520 Speaker 1: long term solution, it's probably not O'Dell just because it's 313 00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:25,600 Speaker 1: gonna cost me so much money. I got all these 314 00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:27,840 Speaker 1: other guys coming after him who are young, by the way, 315 00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:29,760 Speaker 1: that I gotta take care of, and I gotta pay 316 00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:32,240 Speaker 1: if unless Odell's willing to give me a price that 317 00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:38,400 Speaker 1: actually makes sense and fits. Yeah, several years we've seen this, 318 00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:42,080 Speaker 1: We've seen this playout right, We've seen the same. Ironic 319 00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:44,200 Speaker 1: part of it all is that the reason why you 320 00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:46,480 Speaker 1: don't want to go do all that. Let's not forget 321 00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:49,040 Speaker 1: the Mavericks game last night. Those are Jerry's seats. Yeah, 322 00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:51,040 Speaker 1: that's the Cowboys seats that he said he didn't just 323 00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:53,640 Speaker 1: not that those guys and that crew that he was 324 00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:56,000 Speaker 1: with it and have the money to buy any seats. 325 00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:59,600 Speaker 1: That's where they find it interesting. It was all defensive players. Well, 326 00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:03,000 Speaker 1: it was The interesting part is the really in a 327 00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:06,400 Speaker 1: music mogul. Yeah, the reason why you can't, you know, 328 00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:08,240 Speaker 1: why you don't really want to go too far down 329 00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:10,880 Speaker 1: the road with him and pay him all this money 330 00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:14,680 Speaker 1: is because you got to sign. Ironically, those two guys 331 00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:17,280 Speaker 1: that were sitting next to him, those two contracts would 332 00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:19,800 Speaker 1: keep me up at night if I was Stephen and 333 00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:24,760 Speaker 1: his crew that does that especially well, it's you can 334 00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:27,600 Speaker 1: start with you can start next year with Diggs, and 335 00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:30,800 Speaker 1: I just I just have this feeling with Diggs. Next 336 00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:33,640 Speaker 1: year he doesn't have that fifth year option. It's gonna be. 337 00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:36,160 Speaker 1: It's gonna be he's going into his last year, and 338 00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:37,920 Speaker 1: I think they're gonna try to get it done and 339 00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:39,800 Speaker 1: I don't need to. Yeah, And I don't think you'll 340 00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:42,520 Speaker 1: see him. I don't. I don't know this. I just 341 00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:45,200 Speaker 1: wouldn't expect him to be at like the training camp 342 00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:48,120 Speaker 1: and then he got a right tackle that's up too. 343 00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:53,200 Speaker 1: Terren Steele. Yeah, way, negotiation though, right, Terren Steele, Right, 344 00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:55,240 Speaker 1: they're trying to get Terrence Steel done right now? Is 345 00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:58,080 Speaker 1: that an easy negotiation? I think it's an easier negotiation 346 00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:01,080 Speaker 1: because or at least the way I approach the negotiation. Now, 347 00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:02,920 Speaker 1: that doesn't mean you're gonna give him a hometown discount, 348 00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:04,720 Speaker 1: but I think for a guy like him that came 349 00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:06,040 Speaker 1: from where he came from, it as much as the 350 00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:08,000 Speaker 1: Cowboys have invested in him, I think you can get 351 00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:10,280 Speaker 1: that deal done for him price that makes sense. I 352 00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:12,680 Speaker 1: don't top ten right tackle in the league. Yeah, that's 353 00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:14,639 Speaker 1: what he's want. Yeah, Daves is gonna want to be 354 00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:17,040 Speaker 1: the highest paid cornerback in the history of cornerbacks, which 355 00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:19,320 Speaker 1: is every time a new guy gets a deal, that's 356 00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:23,800 Speaker 1: what it is. And then that's it's easier. Got Mica. Yeah, 357 00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:26,680 Speaker 1: he's about to be like highest paid defensive player in 358 00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:28,679 Speaker 1: the history league. That's gonna be a that's gonna be 359 00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:31,360 Speaker 1: a really, really tough one because I guarantee you they're 360 00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:35,600 Speaker 1: gonna say, stop calling him a linebacker because if they 361 00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:38,360 Speaker 1: try to franchise them, you franchise him as a defensive 362 00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:42,560 Speaker 1: end and a linebacker. Yeah, you go different at differ. 363 00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:45,359 Speaker 1: You got a fifth year option on him, Yeah, Mica. 364 00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:48,280 Speaker 1: Plus you got franchise tags that you could go try 365 00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:50,440 Speaker 1: and go multiple years there on that, so you could 366 00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:53,159 Speaker 1: you could run this thing, what seven years? Yeah, but 367 00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:55,320 Speaker 1: I kind of you want to though. No, I'm just 368 00:17:55,359 --> 00:17:57,359 Speaker 1: saying though that you got a quarterback, you got it, 369 00:17:57,400 --> 00:17:59,600 Speaker 1: and the quarterbacks up in what three years too? That's 370 00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:02,120 Speaker 1: the trie That was a short deal. Yeah, but here's 371 00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:03,720 Speaker 1: the deal. And and I don't want to get too 372 00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:07,479 Speaker 1: far into the cap conversation, but it's like seasons. This 373 00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:13,040 Speaker 1: is like if you're the talk when I'm significantly I 374 00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:16,480 Speaker 1: think next year, like suppose you really big jump. So 375 00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:19,080 Speaker 1: that's also part of this too, is how much of 376 00:18:19,119 --> 00:18:21,800 Speaker 1: a cap will you have either have O'Dell or Pollard 377 00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:25,760 Speaker 1: next year? Pollard for sure. I don't even think it's 378 00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:28,200 Speaker 1: a question for me. I don't either, but I think 379 00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:31,399 Speaker 1: that's a That's that's what we're talking about here, that 380 00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:35,760 Speaker 1: type of player. It is thought. Let me ask you this. 381 00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:38,159 Speaker 1: I'll make it. I'll make it even tougher as I 382 00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:40,040 Speaker 1: have my game to down. I'll give you game. Yeah, 383 00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:41,480 Speaker 1: we got a game down. I'll make it even tougher. 384 00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:44,520 Speaker 1: Would you that have Pollard or zeke? O? Man, that's easy? 385 00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:47,199 Speaker 1: Going to break here on the on the Cowboys break. Yes, 386 00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:48,800 Speaker 1: well we're going to break here on the Cowboys break. 387 00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:50,159 Speaker 1: We'll come back. We'll have a little game for that, 388 00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:52,159 Speaker 1: and I'm sure we'll have that question. That is that 389 00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:54,320 Speaker 1: the question? Go for it, Yah, Dallas, Cowboys that come. 390 00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:57,560 Speaker 1: Radio Todd thought it would be secure to jog and 391 00:18:57,560 --> 00:19:00,359 Speaker 1: the cheetah Savanta. Todd believed the big cat pellet he 392 00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:03,439 Speaker 1: bought online was reliable.

I'm having problems, sorry, freeze up. All right, 438 00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:39,880 Speaker 1: there we go, Okayan, you got a game for us, 439 00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:42,119 Speaker 1: I do. Let's go. Here we go. I'll save that 440 00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:45,600 Speaker 1: question for a little bit later in my game. Uh 441 00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:49,159 Speaker 1: A bar has ceedee Lamb been the best player on 442 00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:56,000 Speaker 1: the Cowboys since the Chicago game. Chicago, so we've played 443 00:21:56,040 --> 00:21:59,640 Speaker 1: five games, bye week and then Packers and coming off 444 00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:05,679 Speaker 1: the bye Yeah, best player on the team. M I 445 00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:13,560 Speaker 1: would he's he's improved a lot, a lot. He I 446 00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:16,440 Speaker 1: would say he's one of the guys I had done 447 00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:20,879 Speaker 1: the biggest jump so far. We've seen the defense show struggles. 448 00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:24,359 Speaker 1: So I think the defense has taken like a dip down. 449 00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:27,199 Speaker 1: And I would I would say so, I think that 450 00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:33,040 Speaker 1: the way that CD has progressively progressively been playing, I 451 00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:36,000 Speaker 1: would now put him on top of that list as 452 00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:40,600 Speaker 1: one of the best players on the roster. Derek Eagleton, No, 453 00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:42,520 Speaker 1: I think it's been Pollard. Yeah, I was just looking 454 00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:44,520 Speaker 1: up the numbers. I think I think Pollard has been 455 00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:46,600 Speaker 1: If you want to point out one player that you 456 00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:49,760 Speaker 1: say has been the lynch pin of their success over 457 00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:51,960 Speaker 1: these games, to me, it's been Tony Pollard. I agree. 458 00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:54,520 Speaker 1: And also, and the only thing about CD is that 459 00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:57,080 Speaker 1: as great as he's been and his numbers are better 460 00:22:57,119 --> 00:23:00,320 Speaker 1: than his play has been better than his numbers because 461 00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:03,119 Speaker 1: you don't get points for the pis that he's drawing 462 00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:05,399 Speaker 1: and stuff like that, but he also don't get docked 463 00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:09,600 Speaker 1: a little bit for some of the route running, the interceptions. 464 00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:11,960 Speaker 1: He's a part of that too. Some of his work 465 00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:15,119 Speaker 1: he's been outstanding. I go with Pollard, And also, I 466 00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:18,960 Speaker 1: keep writing this thing. Trayvon Diggs has been amazing. Treyvon 467 00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:21,440 Speaker 1: Diggs like just no one's throwing at him, but throwing 468 00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:24,240 Speaker 1: at Brown's watch what they do with Joseph, like they're 469 00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:27,119 Speaker 1: gonna throw Diggs has been really, really good to the 470 00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:30,280 Speaker 1: point where he's board like I think, actually think that's 471 00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:31,680 Speaker 1: why he'd been on that route the other day, because 472 00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:36,280 Speaker 1: he's kind of like the play like what are we doing? 473 00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:39,119 Speaker 1: But you know, look at looking at Tony Polar's numbers 474 00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:41,359 Speaker 1: over the last four games, that would be four games 475 00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:44,679 Speaker 1: since Chicago he's been over one hundred total yards in 476 00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:47,360 Speaker 1: three or those four games. Like and again you're talking 477 00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:49,200 Speaker 1: about a couple of games where he had zeke back 478 00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:51,760 Speaker 1: and so I just I'm looking at this and I'm like, 479 00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:54,160 Speaker 1: I think he has clearly been and I they're best 480 00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:56,360 Speaker 1: player over and I give Kellen Morre some credit too 481 00:23:56,720 --> 00:24:00,240 Speaker 1: for finding out ways to get him involved a lot more. 482 00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:02,520 Speaker 1: You know, it's not just this back versus this back. 483 00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:05,760 Speaker 1: They figure out different ways to use them interchangeably. I 484 00:24:05,760 --> 00:24:08,040 Speaker 1: think it's been good. I think they both been really 485 00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:10,679 Speaker 1: really good. Yeah, I mean I like your answer to 486 00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:12,720 Speaker 1: Anbar I was thinking that. I mean it's also the 487 00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:16,520 Speaker 1: combination with because Michael Gallup, I wouldn't put him as 488 00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:19,200 Speaker 1: the best right now. He hasn't shown that just yet, 489 00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:23,480 Speaker 1: but him as well, he's been progressively getting better, more opportunities, 490 00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:26,560 Speaker 1: but because of Ceedee Lamb as well. So I put 491 00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:29,840 Speaker 1: them just kind of like combo. So the receiver group 492 00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:34,320 Speaker 1: has taken a step from where they were going. And 493 00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:36,879 Speaker 1: to be fair on that there of those four games, 494 00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:39,320 Speaker 1: for two of those games he's had over one hundred yards. See, 495 00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:42,159 Speaker 1: he has had seventy one in the other um and 496 00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:45,160 Speaker 1: he's had three touchdowns in those four games. So it's 497 00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:47,280 Speaker 1: not a really really good yeah stretch here, no doubt 498 00:24:47,280 --> 00:24:51,560 Speaker 1: about it. All Right, Derek dan Quinn's reputation is on 499 00:24:51,600 --> 00:24:55,480 Speaker 1: the line with Kelvin Joseph starting right now. Nah, man, 500 00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:57,600 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna make that. Man have to deal with that. 501 00:24:57,600 --> 00:25:00,359 Speaker 1: That's not his decision. Kelvin Joseph was not his decision, 502 00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:02,000 Speaker 1: I don't think. I mean, that's well. He went, he 503 00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:06,520 Speaker 1: went to Lexington to work and he made it. But 504 00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:10,639 Speaker 1: as Jerry says, he makes the final decision on players. Okay, 505 00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:12,600 Speaker 1: that that sits with the front office. I'm not gonna 506 00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:14,119 Speaker 1: put that on dan Quinn because I'll put it to 507 00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:16,560 Speaker 1: you like this, Everything that dan Quinn has done since 508 00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:19,360 Speaker 1: he's gotten here, for the most part, has been right 509 00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:21,560 Speaker 1: on point. He knows how to get the most out 510 00:25:21,560 --> 00:25:25,200 Speaker 1: of every single player. I'm quite frankly listening to you yesterday, 511 00:25:25,359 --> 00:25:27,440 Speaker 1: it has me a little bit intrigued. If they give 512 00:25:27,520 --> 00:25:29,760 Speaker 1: if he's gonna be getting all these I'm all about that. 513 00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:31,840 Speaker 1: I'm intrigued now. I want to see if what we've 514 00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:34,000 Speaker 1: seen so far, if he can get a lot better. 515 00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:35,720 Speaker 1: I'll talk to heard Jerry talking about as well, and 516 00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:38,399 Speaker 1: talking about how Kelvin Joseph is a hard worker and 517 00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:41,040 Speaker 1: all those kinds of things. And sometimes that's just platitudes. 518 00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:43,680 Speaker 1: Other times, you know, maybe it is legit that he's 519 00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:45,480 Speaker 1: a hard worker and he's really in there and he's 520 00:25:45,520 --> 00:25:48,920 Speaker 1: working at it, and now playing, maybe he does get 521 00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:50,880 Speaker 1: a lot better makes maybe he makes that league. Now's 522 00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:53,000 Speaker 1: the time to do it for sure. And uh and 523 00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:54,399 Speaker 1: so let let's see what he does. But I'm not 524 00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:58,679 Speaker 1: gonna I'm not gonna saddle dan Quinn with that. Yeah, yeah, 525 00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:02,160 Speaker 1: I think if Kelvin Joseph struggles, yeah, I wouldn't say, well, 526 00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:04,080 Speaker 1: you know, maybe dan Quinn's not that good of a 527 00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:06,720 Speaker 1: coordinating I don't know about that. But I do think 528 00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:10,199 Speaker 1: a lot is riding on this, on this situation, because 529 00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:13,560 Speaker 1: he gives up plays just constantly. That's what he does. 530 00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:15,000 Speaker 1: I mean, you go right at him. I think that 531 00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:16,880 Speaker 1: I think that's gonna be a pinpoint of the game 532 00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:20,760 Speaker 1: plan for opposing teams. Uh, let's see what his confidence 533 00:26:20,920 --> 00:26:24,080 Speaker 1: is going to be. I just think, you know, he's 534 00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:26,240 Speaker 1: gonna have to make a huge hoose jump. And I 535 00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:28,720 Speaker 1: and I wonder if if this isn't a situation where 536 00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:31,240 Speaker 1: Bland is maybe a better on the outside and then 537 00:26:31,280 --> 00:26:33,200 Speaker 1: you slide him on the inside. But they play nickel 538 00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:35,320 Speaker 1: all the time, right, sure, so it's not really like 539 00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:37,960 Speaker 1: I mean, you gotta play him both. Well, I look 540 00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:39,920 Speaker 1: at that too. Is like if you if you still 541 00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:42,280 Speaker 1: want him to play the nickel, you basically just keep 542 00:26:42,320 --> 00:26:44,399 Speaker 1: blanding there when you have two cornerbacks and when you 543 00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:46,439 Speaker 1: go to nickel you slide him inside like that to 544 00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:48,159 Speaker 1: me would be the optimal way I would want to 545 00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:50,720 Speaker 1: see it. But I know, Brian, you you think Kelvin 546 00:26:50,800 --> 00:26:53,119 Speaker 1: Joseph is better at this point than Bland, and so 547 00:26:53,359 --> 00:26:55,240 Speaker 1: well I did it. I no, No, I just I 548 00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:56,920 Speaker 1: just think what I've seen from Bland going back training. 549 00:26:57,240 --> 00:26:59,560 Speaker 1: I love I love Bland. I'm just saying I think 550 00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:02,639 Speaker 1: that they I think they they think that Joseph they 551 00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:06,119 Speaker 1: for some reason they trust Joseph to go out there 552 00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:07,800 Speaker 1: and play. Yeah, they do and make plays, and I 553 00:27:08,280 --> 00:27:10,440 Speaker 1: think that's I think that's on I do. That's why 554 00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:12,719 Speaker 1: I asked the question about dan Quinn. Think you want 555 00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:14,680 Speaker 1: making that choice. I think dan Quinn's the one that 556 00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:17,159 Speaker 1: went to Lexi k Kentucky. I don't think it was 557 00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:20,159 Speaker 1: to go work out Quentin Bohannah. I think it was 558 00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:22,159 Speaker 1: to go work out a guy in Lexington and like, 559 00:27:22,320 --> 00:27:24,320 Speaker 1: and you know, I think that dan Quinn fought for 560 00:27:24,359 --> 00:27:27,040 Speaker 1: this guy. I think, you know, the reputation of him 561 00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:29,480 Speaker 1: as an evaluator is on the line, you know, I mean, 562 00:27:29,520 --> 00:27:31,920 Speaker 1: he's he's done a really nice job, but it's also 563 00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:33,520 Speaker 1: going to be his job to make sure that he 564 00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:36,160 Speaker 1: protects him from not getting attacked in this game. Nick, 565 00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:38,600 Speaker 1: what did you think about did you ever that was it? 566 00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:41,840 Speaker 1: I mean, I think I don't think it's reputations on 567 00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:44,159 Speaker 1: the line. I mean, I get the question, but but 568 00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:47,879 Speaker 1: I do think I think this is this is a huge, 569 00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:50,960 Speaker 1: huge part of the of this last month of the 570 00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:53,520 Speaker 1: season for the Cowboys because because all it takes is 571 00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:56,000 Speaker 1: one cornerback out there on that island that can neck 572 00:27:56,080 --> 00:27:58,399 Speaker 1: and put you in harm's way. And um, you know, 573 00:27:58,680 --> 00:28:00,639 Speaker 1: Jerry said though, you know, he he says, this is 574 00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:04,160 Speaker 1: the best safety class he's ever had here. So you know, 575 00:28:04,680 --> 00:28:07,400 Speaker 1: maybe those guys can help. You know that they can help. 576 00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:09,840 Speaker 1: And also just tell Mica that he sucks. That's what 577 00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:11,960 Speaker 1: Michael said. Just tell him that he sucks so he 578 00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:14,159 Speaker 1: can get pissed off and get after him because the 579 00:28:14,200 --> 00:28:17,400 Speaker 1: best cornerbacks in the league are the ones that play 580 00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:20,040 Speaker 1: the play with with really good pass rushers. I'm gonna 581 00:28:20,040 --> 00:28:21,920 Speaker 1: tell you right now, Mac is gonna have at least 582 00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:24,440 Speaker 1: three sacks this week after last week. I think he's 583 00:28:24,480 --> 00:28:29,520 Speaker 1: just like so so in, you know, so looking forward 584 00:28:29,560 --> 00:28:31,320 Speaker 1: to seeing that you get it done in the first half. 585 00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:35,320 Speaker 1: Yeah right, they pull him, yeah and bar about that 586 00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:39,120 Speaker 1: dan quinn reputation on the line. Now, it's gonna take 587 00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:42,160 Speaker 1: a whole lot more than that for you or anyone 588 00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:44,920 Speaker 1: to change. From my mind on dan Quinn and what 589 00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:48,520 Speaker 1: he's done for the Cowboys so far, I think now 590 00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:50,800 Speaker 1: is a stretch where you really look, how okay, how 591 00:28:50,880 --> 00:28:54,000 Speaker 1: is he going to handle this situation at the cornerback position? 592 00:28:54,840 --> 00:28:58,080 Speaker 1: Is Kelvin Joe said, really gonna take that step forward? 593 00:28:58,520 --> 00:29:01,200 Speaker 1: And more so, like, let's say, if he continues to 594 00:29:01,200 --> 00:29:04,880 Speaker 1: show struggles. I mentioned this, I think it was yesterday, 595 00:29:05,360 --> 00:29:09,120 Speaker 1: how his teammates react to that, and how does dan 596 00:29:09,240 --> 00:29:13,240 Speaker 1: Quinn manages keeping everybody on the same team and everybody 597 00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:16,640 Speaker 1: on the same you know hi, But like you know, 598 00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:18,840 Speaker 1: this is our guy. Let's keep pushing him. Brother than 599 00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:21,520 Speaker 1: now people kind of turning on him, pissed off because 600 00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:25,320 Speaker 1: we know defensive players, they're very, very competitive. They get 601 00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:28,960 Speaker 1: really mad and it can quickly take a different turn. 602 00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:32,400 Speaker 1: You're right about that if if it's a bad situation, 603 00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:34,600 Speaker 1: it won't be one for long. I mean they'll they'll 604 00:29:34,640 --> 00:29:40,320 Speaker 1: make a move there they have to say, said Jalen Smith. 605 00:29:40,320 --> 00:29:44,960 Speaker 1: Can't play Sean right, see this kindall Sheffield is a 606 00:29:45,040 --> 00:29:49,680 Speaker 1: guy um that, but he's more He's the outside guy 607 00:29:50,440 --> 00:29:53,680 Speaker 1: and they want Yeah, they're looking for an inside slot 608 00:29:53,760 --> 00:29:56,239 Speaker 1: type of guy. Yeah, well, Sheffield's more outside or a 609 00:29:56,240 --> 00:29:58,360 Speaker 1: press corner. He's more of a press corner, not a 610 00:29:58,440 --> 00:30:00,560 Speaker 1: zone corner, but a press corner. So that's what they 611 00:30:00,600 --> 00:30:04,320 Speaker 1: really like about him too. May be playing more press 612 00:30:04,400 --> 00:30:06,800 Speaker 1: number seven. That number seven is really good at it. 613 00:30:06,840 --> 00:30:08,480 Speaker 1: On the other side, I don't know why they don't 614 00:30:08,520 --> 00:30:15,680 Speaker 1: do more, but they should and absolutely should. Nick pollarder Zeke, Um, 615 00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:19,560 Speaker 1: you only have one. Polar's a better player right now. 616 00:30:19,800 --> 00:30:22,880 Speaker 1: He's a better player, and and he's he gives you 617 00:30:22,920 --> 00:30:26,600 Speaker 1: some things that that like, if you're looking at the 618 00:30:26,680 --> 00:30:30,040 Speaker 1: draft next year, in the second to third round, what 619 00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:34,560 Speaker 1: Zeke is giving you right now is there. I think 620 00:30:34,800 --> 00:30:38,600 Speaker 1: Mali Davis, maybe Malie Davis, but also in the draft 621 00:30:38,640 --> 00:30:40,840 Speaker 1: that that guy's there, that guy that could average for 622 00:30:41,160 --> 00:30:44,160 Speaker 1: four and a half yards, tough inside running, hangs onto 623 00:30:44,160 --> 00:30:47,360 Speaker 1: the football, gives him a spark. But the Pollard and 624 00:30:47,480 --> 00:30:49,280 Speaker 1: Pollard was a fourth round pick, I get it, but 625 00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:51,480 Speaker 1: he wasn't what he is and he needed two to 626 00:30:51,520 --> 00:30:55,760 Speaker 1: three years to really develop into this. So UM, I 627 00:30:55,880 --> 00:30:58,800 Speaker 1: still think though I'm a chicken and steak guy, I'm both. 628 00:30:58,920 --> 00:31:01,600 Speaker 1: I like both, you know, combo platter. I still think 629 00:31:01,600 --> 00:31:03,680 Speaker 1: you can figure out both here, you can you can 630 00:31:03,680 --> 00:31:06,480 Speaker 1: figure out both. Zeke's going to get a very interesting 631 00:31:06,880 --> 00:31:08,760 Speaker 1: contract I think at the end of the season, and 632 00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:11,120 Speaker 1: I think they'll both be here. But but lord's the 633 00:31:11,200 --> 00:31:18,160 Speaker 1: Lords and bar Polo or Zeke? What's the game scenario 634 00:31:18,240 --> 00:31:20,840 Speaker 1: here where we are? Is it like two in goal 635 00:31:21,080 --> 00:31:27,600 Speaker 1: or where are we at? I freaking love Zeke, but 636 00:31:27,880 --> 00:31:30,840 Speaker 1: as of right now, if you had and absolutely had 637 00:31:30,880 --> 00:31:37,560 Speaker 1: to pick one one Tony Pollard just because of that spark, 638 00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:41,280 Speaker 1: that dynamic type of plays that he's being able to 639 00:31:41,320 --> 00:31:45,440 Speaker 1: give you that Zeke has kind of started lacking. And 640 00:31:45,680 --> 00:31:48,920 Speaker 1: not to say Zeke. He's great and we still need him, 641 00:31:48,920 --> 00:31:51,840 Speaker 1: and we've talked about this, the combination of both depending 642 00:31:51,840 --> 00:31:55,240 Speaker 1: on the situation of you know what the game is 643 00:31:55,320 --> 00:31:59,120 Speaker 1: looking like and what play there. But yeah, Tony Poller, 644 00:31:59,240 --> 00:32:02,680 Speaker 1: I guess to me, it's it's it's easy Pollard, And 645 00:32:02,760 --> 00:32:07,760 Speaker 1: it's only because of age. I'm running back. Is running 646 00:32:07,760 --> 00:32:09,800 Speaker 1: back is a position more than any other position in 647 00:32:09,800 --> 00:32:13,960 Speaker 1: the NFL where age matters and you age quickly. Two 648 00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:18,720 Speaker 1: years apart, but you age quickly at that position. Yeah. 649 00:32:18,760 --> 00:32:20,800 Speaker 1: But you what you start seeing is it can drop 650 00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:24,000 Speaker 1: off so quickly for a running back. I'm trying to think. 651 00:32:24,040 --> 00:32:25,720 Speaker 1: I don't know why I'm drawing a blank. But the 652 00:32:25,800 --> 00:32:29,560 Speaker 1: running back that was in Pittsburgh, maybe on Bell, he 653 00:32:29,680 --> 00:32:33,920 Speaker 1: was among the very best in the NFL, and literally 654 00:32:33,920 --> 00:32:35,760 Speaker 1: within a year or two just kind of like fell 655 00:32:35,800 --> 00:32:39,080 Speaker 1: off the map. Yeah, And I mean he was so good, 656 00:32:39,120 --> 00:32:41,880 Speaker 1: and that's that's the way running backs are. So for me, 657 00:32:42,160 --> 00:32:44,000 Speaker 1: it's not so much. And I know what you're saying, Nick, 658 00:32:44,040 --> 00:32:46,400 Speaker 1: but even right now, I see a lot of extreme 659 00:32:46,520 --> 00:32:48,840 Speaker 1: value in what you get from Zeke Elliot. Some of 660 00:32:48,880 --> 00:32:50,480 Speaker 1: things he's done over last week. We were talking about 661 00:32:50,480 --> 00:32:52,560 Speaker 1: it during the game last week. He has a little 662 00:32:52,560 --> 00:32:54,800 Speaker 1: bit at burst back like he is. He is running 663 00:32:54,840 --> 00:32:56,880 Speaker 1: the ball I think at a really, really high level 664 00:32:56,960 --> 00:32:59,640 Speaker 1: right now. My issue still is he has a lot 665 00:32:59,680 --> 00:33:02,600 Speaker 1: of areas on that body. He's twenty seven years old. 666 00:33:03,080 --> 00:33:05,760 Speaker 1: You've already done a second deal. I don't know that 667 00:33:05,760 --> 00:33:07,640 Speaker 1: I would get to a third for me, I look 668 00:33:07,640 --> 00:33:09,160 Speaker 1: at it. Give me the younger guy, and I'll go 669 00:33:09,200 --> 00:33:11,680 Speaker 1: back to the well and try to jet. My strategy 670 00:33:11,720 --> 00:33:14,560 Speaker 1: with running backs would just be every year, every two years, 671 00:33:14,760 --> 00:33:16,680 Speaker 1: I'm drafting another one and I'm going to keep that 672 00:33:16,760 --> 00:33:20,720 Speaker 1: a young position. When's his contract? Uh, it's it's not up. 673 00:33:20,840 --> 00:33:23,719 Speaker 1: But yeah, you're gonna have to get you about as 674 00:33:23,760 --> 00:33:25,400 Speaker 1: up as it can be without being up. But you, 675 00:33:25,520 --> 00:33:28,600 Speaker 1: but you, this is the year you can play with 676 00:33:29,120 --> 00:33:30,959 Speaker 1: you know, Brian, you brought up a point about Jerry 677 00:33:30,960 --> 00:33:34,920 Speaker 1: on the radio this morning talking about Zeke and and 678 00:33:34,920 --> 00:33:38,000 Speaker 1: and after the game. He's the one that brought it 679 00:33:38,080 --> 00:33:40,520 Speaker 1: up that he was a cell phone disciplinary issue. And 680 00:33:40,560 --> 00:33:43,600 Speaker 1: the reason why he did it because that's his son. Yeah, 681 00:33:43,600 --> 00:33:46,640 Speaker 1: he loves Zeke. He protects him. He doesn't want some 682 00:33:46,720 --> 00:33:50,000 Speaker 1: guy in the media to say you benched Zeke. No, 683 00:33:50,400 --> 00:33:52,400 Speaker 1: and so he'll he'll he'll throw his business out there 684 00:33:52,480 --> 00:33:54,080 Speaker 1: that he knows he's not really supposed to. That's the 685 00:33:54,160 --> 00:33:56,760 Speaker 1: eternal stuff. You're not suppose that happens all the time. 686 00:33:56,840 --> 00:33:59,320 Speaker 1: There's all that kind of issue. You know, there's little 687 00:33:59,360 --> 00:34:02,000 Speaker 1: fines here and there, but he's so protective making sure 688 00:34:02,080 --> 00:34:04,560 Speaker 1: you don't we're not benching this guy. Okay. So that's 689 00:34:04,560 --> 00:34:06,440 Speaker 1: why he threw it out there, and he had a 690 00:34:06,480 --> 00:34:09,080 Speaker 1: decision to make, and he chose I'd rather get into 691 00:34:09,160 --> 00:34:12,000 Speaker 1: McCarthy's business because I don't want you to think differently 692 00:34:12,080 --> 00:34:14,480 Speaker 1: the boy the way we feel about Zeke. Yeah, and 693 00:34:14,680 --> 00:34:16,400 Speaker 1: that probably tells you a lot about what's going to 694 00:34:16,480 --> 00:34:18,799 Speaker 1: happen this office, right, It tells you a whole lot 695 00:34:18,800 --> 00:34:21,960 Speaker 1: about what they feel about him. And typically one thing 696 00:34:21,960 --> 00:34:24,520 Speaker 1: we know about Jerry Jerry can he can have loyalty 697 00:34:24,880 --> 00:34:26,640 Speaker 1: when it comes to these players and sometimes keep him 698 00:34:26,640 --> 00:34:28,920 Speaker 1: a little longer than he may be should can I 699 00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:32,160 Speaker 1: can I ask one more question? Quicker? We gotta got 700 00:34:32,480 --> 00:34:34,479 Speaker 1: quick answer. Okay, every needs give me a quick answer. 701 00:34:34,480 --> 00:34:37,520 Speaker 1: And Bar, what line would you use if you were 702 00:34:37,640 --> 00:34:40,400 Speaker 1: Jerry Jones to convince Odell Beckham to come to Dallas. 703 00:34:40,600 --> 00:34:46,320 Speaker 1: Give me one line.

So let's 756 00:37:43,560 --> 00:37:45,840 Speaker 1: get a quick question here. I did have a question 757 00:37:45,840 --> 00:37:48,640 Speaker 1: for you guys about from Ernie on Twitter. He says, 758 00:37:48,640 --> 00:37:51,120 Speaker 1: and what areas have you seen Kellen Moore in Burt? 759 00:37:52,080 --> 00:37:57,279 Speaker 1: I knew that? And what area is Kellen Moore? I 760 00:37:57,480 --> 00:38:03,640 Speaker 1: improve this year compared to last? Is count your favorite guy? 761 00:38:04,440 --> 00:38:06,880 Speaker 1: How is scan Drake really? And that coming out of 762 00:38:06,920 --> 00:38:14,560 Speaker 1: that checket, I'm sorry Ernie Banks. Now what's the keen 763 00:38:14,920 --> 00:38:16,920 Speaker 1: question was how, how in what areas have you seen 764 00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:20,200 Speaker 1: Kellen Moore improvable? We said it, I said it earlier. 765 00:38:20,200 --> 00:38:22,200 Speaker 1: I mean, I think the fact that he can figure 766 00:38:22,200 --> 00:38:25,160 Speaker 1: out how to get Pollard going, how to get Pollard 767 00:38:25,239 --> 00:38:28,120 Speaker 1: and Zeke out there together, Um, those tight ends. He 768 00:38:28,160 --> 00:38:30,120 Speaker 1: plays a lot of three and four tight end sets 769 00:38:30,160 --> 00:38:32,839 Speaker 1: and and they're still productive. They're still spread it out, 770 00:38:33,320 --> 00:38:36,239 Speaker 1: you know, throwing the ball around. I think he's been 771 00:38:36,239 --> 00:38:39,759 Speaker 1: really creative with the ways he's getting those guys going. Yeah, 772 00:38:39,760 --> 00:38:41,680 Speaker 1: I think that, you know, you you look at it 773 00:38:41,760 --> 00:38:45,000 Speaker 1: with the things that they've been able to do, the 774 00:38:45,080 --> 00:38:48,319 Speaker 1: more movement, the more useless of some combination rounds, the 775 00:38:48,400 --> 00:38:51,720 Speaker 1: running game, stuff like that. Yeah, it's it's it. It's 776 00:38:51,760 --> 00:38:54,160 Speaker 1: actually looking like it needs to look, you know. I mean, 777 00:38:54,280 --> 00:38:57,760 Speaker 1: they put a lot of pressure on defensive coordinators. I think, 778 00:38:57,840 --> 00:39:01,120 Speaker 1: if my memory is serving me right, I would say 779 00:39:01,280 --> 00:39:05,000 Speaker 1: probably red zone. I think they've improven that once hit 780 00:39:05,120 --> 00:39:08,640 Speaker 1: the red zone, they shows struggles there, but they'll be 781 00:39:08,680 --> 00:39:10,960 Speaker 1: able to get some points in there. And that's something. 782 00:39:11,280 --> 00:39:13,080 Speaker 1: Was it last year or two years ago, I can't 783 00:39:13,080 --> 00:39:15,680 Speaker 1: remember when it was when they were really really struggling 784 00:39:15,719 --> 00:39:18,000 Speaker 1: in the red zone, that's where I'm struggling to kind 785 00:39:18,040 --> 00:39:22,080 Speaker 1: of two years really remember zone was that two years ago? 786 00:39:22,280 --> 00:39:25,839 Speaker 1: I mean, so it was last year or something last Yeah, 787 00:39:26,040 --> 00:39:28,800 Speaker 1: that's part of the running issue. Yeah, that was absolutely 788 00:39:29,560 --> 00:39:31,319 Speaker 1: the second half of the year for sure. I just 789 00:39:31,320 --> 00:39:34,440 Speaker 1: feel that this year that's taking some improvement there and 790 00:39:34,640 --> 00:39:37,240 Speaker 1: kind of the ways that and that's that. That's another 791 00:39:37,239 --> 00:39:40,600 Speaker 1: thing Dac is just better at with than Cooper Rush. 792 00:39:40,719 --> 00:39:43,000 Speaker 1: He just brings a little bit more element of running 793 00:39:43,440 --> 00:39:45,520 Speaker 1: there than and I think they're better in the red 794 00:39:45,600 --> 00:39:48,000 Speaker 1: zone for him. All Right, we appreciate you, guys. John, 795 00:39:48,040 --> 00:39:50,799 Speaker 1: So back tomorrow. We'll get into a little bit of 796 00:39:51,360 --> 00:39:55,160 Speaker 1: Texans offense.
