I feel like the Cowboys went 0:01:58.920 --> 0:02:01.960 on Friday and not to get on Friday on Sunday, 0:02:02.000 --> 0:02:03.480 not to get too far into our pick them and 0:02:03.680 --> 0:02:08.040 the early disclosure, yeahlosure, all. 0:02:08.000 --> 0:02:11.760 Right, guys shows over. John made his pick on like Tuesday. 0:02:11.880 --> 0:02:13.959 But regardless, I feel like it's gonna be a really 0:02:13.960 --> 0:02:15.800 good game that's gonna come down in the fourth quarter, 0:02:15.919 --> 0:02:17.919 and it's gonna be a fun environment.

But really excited making the. 0:02:21.160 --> 0:02:22.160 Trip out to the West Coast. 0:02:22.200 --> 0:02:24.000 What was it like playing you You got to play 0:02:24.000 --> 0:02:25.440 against San Francisco a couple times. 0:02:25.600 --> 0:02:28.359 Yeah, and playing in San Francisco, what was that like. 0:02:29.200 --> 0:02:31.520 It's be honest with you, it's gonna sound crazy. It's 0:02:31.560 --> 0:02:35.240 just it was just another game. You were a candlestick, right, yeah, 0:02:35.560 --> 0:02:36.720 throw back yeah, throw back. 0:02:36.800 --> 0:02:39.640 Absolutely, it was just another game. And there wasn't there 0:02:39.680 --> 0:02:42.160 wasn't too many teams that have faced that. I was like, Okay, 0:02:42.200 --> 0:02:46.120 this is amazing. Environment's amazing, Like it just I don't know, 0:02:46.280 --> 0:02:49.520 balls ball to me, I know. 0:02:49.520 --> 0:02:52.840 That's not exciting. I'm sorry. Everybody has to be though. 0:02:52.960 --> 0:02:54.880 I really I really looked at things like it was 0:02:54.960 --> 0:02:58.320 just the next thing on the on the docket. You know, 0:02:58.919 --> 0:03:00.840 it was a business trip. I wasn't going there to 0:03:00.880 --> 0:03:03.799 sight see. I was going there to execute a game plan. 0:03:03.840 --> 0:03:05.639 We were going out there collectively to try to walk 0:03:05.639 --> 0:03:07.840 away with a dub. And that's really all that mattered. 0:03:08.760 --> 0:03:10.040 That's why a lot of my a lot of my 0:03:10.120 --> 0:03:12.120 career is just a blur because it's just like, all right, well, you. 0:03:12.080 --> 0:03:14.680 Guys remember this game. You remember this game. I'm like, I don't. 0:03:15.160 --> 0:03:19.200 I'm really a person that that neuralizes myself after every week. 0:03:19.360 --> 0:03:20.280 You remember the super Bowl? 0:03:20.840 --> 0:03:25.680 Yeah I remember that, but I mean even that, but 0:03:25.720 --> 0:03:27.960 like seriously, like even like that, Like there's a lot 0:03:27.960 --> 0:03:29.240 of things that I just don't remember. 0:03:29.320 --> 0:03:31.480 Like I just I don't know. 0:03:31.600 --> 0:03:33.280 I've never been the one to really just kind of 0:03:33.320 --> 0:03:36.080 take in a moment and like really digest it. 0:03:36.560 --> 0:03:39.160 I'm always going to like what's next. And that's been 0:03:39.480 --> 0:03:40.400 me with all. 0:03:40.280 --> 0:03:42.800 My achievements, that's been me or all my experiences, it's 0:03:42.800 --> 0:03:45.320 always what's what's next. Like that's grateful for it doesn't 0:03:45.320 --> 0:03:48.440 mean I disregarded, but it's just like I'm literally onto 0:03:48.440 --> 0:03:51.160 the next thing, and because of that, I forget a 0:03:51.160 --> 0:03:52.960 lot and it doesn't really work well with my wife. 0:03:53.000 --> 0:03:54.400 She's like, you remember when the kids was this, I 0:03:54.440 --> 0:03:59.000 was like, it sucks. I know it's bad. It's a 0:03:59.000 --> 0:03:59.480 bad trait. 0:03:59.520 --> 0:04:03.400 But like attributed to all the different systems I was in, 0:04:03.760 --> 0:04:05.880 and as a quarterback, I had to press the elite, 0:04:06.240 --> 0:04:07.880 I had to press the lead. I had to delete 0:04:08.120 --> 0:04:11.040 my old stuff because otherwise you'll get mixed up. And 0:04:11.280 --> 0:04:13.680 I learned that really when I left here. When I 0:04:13.760 --> 0:04:15.360 left here and went to New England, I had to 0:04:15.480 --> 0:04:20.839 delete my entire memory bank because the formations were the 0:04:20.880 --> 0:04:23.680 same but different names. The emotions were the same, different names, 0:04:23.640 --> 0:04:25.880 concepts were the same, different name. So if you're still 0:04:25.920 --> 0:04:28.000 holding onto your old stuff, you're gonna screw yourself up. 0:04:28.920 --> 0:04:32.440 If you had to choose the Cowboys to have that 0:04:32.720 --> 0:04:35.360 mindset where it's be a goldfish and forget it and 0:04:35.680 --> 0:04:40.000 kind of move on and just take this as another game, 0:04:40.360 --> 0:04:43.240 or if you wanted them to channel that emotion, to 0:04:43.440 --> 0:04:46.479 channel the revenge factor that we talked about from a 0:04:46.520 --> 0:04:48.919 media standpoint, which one would you rather than try and 0:04:49.000 --> 0:04:52.440 channel this week, I. 0:04:52.560 --> 0:04:54.880 Had to choose one or two, one or the other. 0:04:55.360 --> 0:04:58.560 And I'm not saying overly revenge factor is where it's 0:04:58.600 --> 0:05:02.159 the only thing and they're two hyped up. I'm saying, okay, 0:05:02.200 --> 0:05:04.440 the right amount of hype versus the right amount of 0:05:05.279 --> 0:05:06.599 the next game mentality. 0:05:06.600 --> 0:05:09.040 I would say the next game, I would say even then. 0:05:09.040 --> 0:05:11.040 I would say the next game even then, because emotion, 0:05:11.120 --> 0:05:12.760 if you get caught up in the emotions of the game, 0:05:12.839 --> 0:05:20.440 you'll you'll forget your assignments. The emotions and the interpersonal battles. 0:05:20.320 --> 0:05:21.240 It's sorry, not the inner person. 0:05:21.320 --> 0:05:25.480 With individual battles, those become the primary versus the mission. 0:05:25.960 --> 0:05:28.800 And if I'm so concerned with hidden Trent Williams in 0:05:28.839 --> 0:05:31.080 the mouth because he's talking so much instead of being 0:05:31.120 --> 0:05:33.640 in lane discipline, now all of a sudden, I put 0:05:33.680 --> 0:05:36.000 my team in a buying So I think I would 0:05:36.040 --> 0:05:38.520 lean more towards the next game and make sure you 0:05:38.520 --> 0:05:41.200 execute your game plan versus, you know, trying to get 0:05:41.240 --> 0:05:42.000 the revenge factor. 0:05:42.440 --> 0:05:44.560 What would you choose? What was it? 0:05:44.760 --> 0:05:45.600 What were the options? 0:05:45.640 --> 0:05:49.400 So take the next game up. Just another game. 0:05:49.240 --> 0:05:51.960 Mentality that Isaiah's talking about what he kind of went 0:05:52.000 --> 0:05:55.720 through throughout his career or channel that emotion in a 0:05:55.760 --> 0:05:59.239 good way, channel the emotions of going into this matchup 0:05:59.279 --> 0:06:01.080 and having the past. 0:06:00.920 --> 0:06:02.960 On the mind with it being the forty nine. 0:06:03.120 --> 0:06:04.320 I think there's a little bit of both that you 0:06:04.360 --> 0:06:06.400 could use. It depends on what the opponent is and 0:06:06.400 --> 0:06:08.720 what the ramifications are on the other side, not fear. 0:06:09.000 --> 0:06:10.840 I couldn't choose these. I can't choose both the other 0:06:10.960 --> 0:06:12.000 tack one. You gotta pick one. 0:06:12.000 --> 0:06:14.440 But but you only have one brain, right, and it 0:06:14.480 --> 0:06:15.520 works both ways. 0:06:15.640 --> 0:06:19.400 But this one brain only gets to choose. You can't 0:06:19.480 --> 0:06:20.400 try and go right now. 0:06:20.560 --> 0:06:24.479 I really tried to. Yeah, you did, honestly, though, like 0:06:24.520 --> 0:06:26.400 more so than anything, it would probably be the latter 0:06:26.480 --> 0:06:28.240 in the fact, where like you just have reset, like 0:06:28.279 --> 0:06:30.440 because every game is different or every moment is different 0:06:30.760 --> 0:06:33.360 for me, I guess individually, it's you know, there's big 0:06:33.360 --> 0:06:35.400 moments in my career, there's big moments in Kyle's career, 0:06:35.760 --> 0:06:37.760 and you know, you could every single one is different 0:06:37.760 --> 0:06:40.760 because there's different eyes every single time. So I would 0:06:40.800 --> 0:06:42.240 take it in that sense. But if it's like the 0:06:42.240 --> 0:06:44.039 biggest thing I've ever done, for sure, I'm gonna, you know, 0:06:44.120 --> 0:06:46.120 take some emotion into that because that's I want that 0:06:46.200 --> 0:06:47.479 to be able to amplify me as well. 0:06:47.600 --> 0:06:49.920 So yeah, yeah, I think there's ways. Like you said, 0:06:49.960 --> 0:06:51.599 the obvious answer is a little bit of both. 0:06:51.640 --> 0:06:53.640 You take take a little bit of that revenge factor, 0:06:53.680 --> 0:06:55.400 take a little bit of that motivation that you've had 0:06:55.400 --> 0:06:57.440 all week. Dek Prescott's talked about it on a number 0:06:57.440 --> 0:07:01.480 of occasions, both after the game Sundays yesterday with the media. 0:07:01.800 --> 0:07:03.640 There are ways to take that and channel in in 0:07:03.680 --> 0:07:05.400 the right direction. But you don't want to go over 0:07:05.920 --> 0:07:07.480 the top and you want to take it as this 0:07:07.560 --> 0:07:09.920 is week five. You can't win or lose the Super 0:07:09.960 --> 0:07:13.239 Bowl in week five, You certainly can't. But there's ways 0:07:13.240 --> 0:07:16.280 that you can certainly build in the right direction. Of course, 0:07:16.320 --> 0:07:18.880 going against a good team like this, getting a good test, 0:07:19.120 --> 0:07:21.520 seeing that competition and seeing how you stack. 0:07:21.320 --> 0:07:21.960 Up against it. 0:07:22.000 --> 0:07:23.280 All Right, let's take a look at some of the 0:07:23.280 --> 0:07:25.280 news and notes, what's going on around Cowboys Nation. 0:07:25.400 --> 0:07:27.800 Yeah, don't have a ton today. Three things that we'll 0:07:28.120 --> 0:07:31.360 touch on. First, Mike McCarthy was asked on one oh 0:07:31.400 --> 0:07:33.880 five to three the Fan this morning about Randy Gregory 0:07:34.000 --> 0:07:37.000 now that he is available. We haven't brought that brought 0:07:37.120 --> 0:07:39.160 that up on this show this week. I feel like 0:07:39.240 --> 0:07:41.920 we all have the same opinion here, But Mike McCarthy said, 0:07:41.920 --> 0:07:43.360 I haven't been a part of those discussions. 0:07:43.400 --> 0:07:43.800 Obviously. 0:07:43.840 --> 0:07:46.040 I thought Randy had a fine, fine season his last 0:07:46.080 --> 0:07:47.880 year here. But I don't have anything to report on 0:07:47.920 --> 0:07:53.080 that front. I don't see a value there. I'm trying 0:07:53.080 --> 0:07:56.000 to leave it them. You wanted to say something mess No, no, 0:07:56.040 --> 0:08:00.360 not really with your chest. Really, I don't see anybody there, 0:08:00.400 --> 0:08:02.280 like I don't know why it's even a talking point. 0:08:02.320 --> 0:08:04.440 I mean, this passworst group is fine. And if you're 0:08:04.440 --> 0:08:06.000 if you want to bring in a guy who didn't 0:08:06.040 --> 0:08:08.880 work out after that big of a contract, I'm straight. 0:08:09.440 --> 0:08:12.840 Okay, what do you think about Randy Gregory potential Cowboys? 0:08:12.840 --> 0:08:15.800 Station has been talking about it, and they should. He 0:08:15.920 --> 0:08:18.320 was good while he was here, when he was available. 0:08:18.640 --> 0:08:20.400 I think if you were able to add him for 0:08:20.560 --> 0:08:23.280 like nothing, you know, slim to nothing or a very 0:08:23.360 --> 0:08:26.080 low overhead, then I say why not? You know, Adam 0:08:26.160 --> 0:08:28.040 to the Adam to the pot. But if you have 0:08:28.080 --> 0:08:31.160 to spend any kind of you know, respectful money on them, 0:08:31.160 --> 0:08:32.760 then I'll say no. I mean, to your point, Nick, 0:08:32.800 --> 0:08:34.680 I mean this that group, that position group is about 0:08:34.679 --> 0:08:37.559 as deep. It is the deepest position group on your team. 0:08:37.800 --> 0:08:40.520 So I don't think that you need somebody else. But 0:08:40.520 --> 0:08:42.760 if you if you have the extra money and you 0:08:43.160 --> 0:08:46.640 have the extra roster spout, which you don't but don't anymore, 0:08:47.200 --> 0:08:50.080 I will say yes. But I mean, we know Jerry 0:08:50.120 --> 0:08:51.959 Jones loves him. We know that they had, you know, 0:08:52.000 --> 0:08:53.800 a little falling out there the last moment of the 0:08:53.880 --> 0:08:57.120 contract negotiations. He went to go get Chase the money 0:08:57.160 --> 0:08:59.000 that he felt was was due to him because due 0:08:59.000 --> 0:09:00.560 to language, you know. 0:09:00.720 --> 0:09:03.520 He would probably be close to the veteran minimum if 0:09:03.559 --> 0:09:04.559 you wanted to bring him back. 0:09:04.640 --> 0:09:06.280 I feel like, if you if you can get him 0:09:06.280 --> 0:09:08.400 for the veteran minimum or close to it, because he's 0:09:08.400 --> 0:09:11.640 already got cashed out from Denver, and why not as 0:09:11.679 --> 0:09:13.560 long as he doesn't make as long as his personality 0:09:13.559 --> 0:09:15.600 doesn't mix, doesn't mess up what you have going on 0:09:15.640 --> 0:09:16.240 in the locker room. 0:09:16.240 --> 0:09:17.920 Do you think that that's a possibility. I don't. There's 0:09:17.960 --> 0:09:19.920 always the possibility. I don't. I don't know him personally 0:09:20.120 --> 0:09:20.640 to take that chance. 0:09:20.720 --> 0:09:22.520 Yeah, I don't know him personally to add that, But 0:09:22.559 --> 0:09:24.600 I mean, the thing is, at this point in the season, 0:09:24.679 --> 0:09:26.800 if you wanted to add that, and you realize that 0:09:26.800 --> 0:09:29.200 that's not the move. Their contracts and not guaranteed at 0:09:29.200 --> 0:09:30.800 this point, so you can literally bring him on. It's 0:09:30.800 --> 0:09:33.079 not working, okay, counseling, but I will say anything. Any 0:09:33.160 --> 0:09:36.000 organization knows who he is is Dallas Cowboys well and 0:09:36.240 --> 0:09:37.080 no doubt about that. 0:09:37.200 --> 0:09:40.200 I mean, but you, you and I were sitting up 0:09:40.240 --> 0:09:44.360 there in Denver for that joint practice last year where 0:09:44.679 --> 0:09:47.400 it was the first time that they had seen Randy 0:09:47.400 --> 0:09:48.560 Gregory as a part. 0:09:48.400 --> 0:09:49.160 Of the Broncos. 0:09:49.600 --> 0:09:52.960 Wasn't even padded up, wasn't even suited start it up. 0:09:53.040 --> 0:09:55.160 But he was there in the thick of it. 0:09:55.240 --> 0:09:57.280 Love it, I mean, and he was when he's on 0:09:57.320 --> 0:09:59.040 your team. I love it. Oh gosh. There was so 0:09:59.160 --> 0:10:03.760 much talk. It was just it was way overboard. I 0:10:03.800 --> 0:10:05.839 get it. There's a level of talking. And I love 0:10:05.840 --> 0:10:06.520 it too, I really do. 0:10:06.600 --> 0:10:11.720 I love the competitive, competitive, competitive petition, the competitive are yeah, 0:10:11.800 --> 0:10:12.680 whatever that word is. 0:10:13.520 --> 0:10:14.839 I love that, I really do. 0:10:15.000 --> 0:10:17.439 But in that specific scenario, then it got to the 0:10:17.480 --> 0:10:20.400 point where I was like, all all right, Randy, get listen, 0:10:20.520 --> 0:10:20.920 all right. 0:10:20.960 --> 0:10:22.480 There was a lot of spike going on. There's a 0:10:22.480 --> 0:10:24.120 lot of hate going on. I mean there's a lot 0:10:24.160 --> 0:10:26.120 of that. Right, you leave the team that you love 0:10:26.200 --> 0:10:27.679 and thought you were gonna be with your whole career, 0:10:27.800 --> 0:10:28.960 and all of a sudden you have to have a 0:10:29.000 --> 0:10:31.600 two day padded practice with him where you're not padded up. Yeah, 0:10:31.600 --> 0:10:33.800 you're gonna spark some stuff up, right, You're you're feeling 0:10:33.800 --> 0:10:36.480 some type of way. But he was nothing but good 0:10:36.480 --> 0:10:38.120 things for for Dallas when he was on the field. 0:10:38.120 --> 0:10:39.800 So I mean, he's available when he was available. 0:10:40.160 --> 0:10:42.920 Was always said when he was on the field, I 0:10:42.960 --> 0:10:45.400 left that other aspect out. But again, you can't leave 0:10:45.400 --> 0:10:46.160 that other aspect. 0:10:46.440 --> 0:10:48.360 I mean at this point of his career, yes you can. 0:10:48.400 --> 0:10:50.600 I mean he's he's past that. I mean, people move on. 0:10:50.679 --> 0:10:53.120 People have experiences, they have bad experiences, You learn from 0:10:53.160 --> 0:10:55.440 them and you move forward. I think Dallas was a 0:10:55.480 --> 0:10:57.120 huge reason why he was able to move forward. The 0:10:57.120 --> 0:10:58.960 resources that they gave him, the support they gave him. 0:10:59.360 --> 0:11:02.320 If he's in a space, if he's healthy, all those things, 0:11:02.520 --> 0:11:03.800 and you can get him for the coast to the 0:11:03.840 --> 0:11:06.000 veteran minimum, I would add him to the pot as 0:11:06.000 --> 0:11:08.080 long as he doesn't disrupt what you already have going on, 0:11:08.240 --> 0:11:10.559 because he is a heck of a player. So if 0:11:10.559 --> 0:11:12.360 you can get a heck of a player and he 0:11:12.400 --> 0:11:14.640 doesn't disrupt what you have going on and he only 0:11:14.679 --> 0:11:15.560 adds to it. 0:11:15.960 --> 0:11:17.000 I don't see why you would it. 0:11:17.320 --> 0:11:20.200 I just don't see, especially when you're early in the season, 0:11:20.640 --> 0:11:22.440 right and he has plenty of time to catch on 0:11:22.480 --> 0:11:25.600 to what you're doing, and he's a lot larger of 0:11:25.640 --> 0:11:27.679 a defensive end than you already carried. There's only one 0:11:27.679 --> 0:11:30.800 other DN on your team that possesses his size. Why 0:11:30.800 --> 0:11:31.880 would you not want to add that. 0:11:34.200 --> 0:11:37.240 It's so interesting because you look at the numbers of 0:11:37.280 --> 0:11:40.319 when he was playing with for Dallas, I mean fourteen 0:11:40.360 --> 0:11:43.760 games in twenty eighteen, twenty and twenty twenty, because he 0:11:43.800 --> 0:11:46.360 missed all of twenty nineteen twenty twenty one, he had 0:11:46.440 --> 0:11:49.160 twelve games. So when he was there, he was active. 0:11:49.200 --> 0:11:51.360 He had six sacks, three and a half six sacks again. 0:11:52.160 --> 0:11:55.400 But then in Denver, after he gets that jump and pay, 0:11:56.240 --> 0:12:00.320 he played in just ten games total between two seasons, uh. 0:12:00.640 --> 0:12:01.920 And he played in three. 0:12:02.679 --> 0:12:04.560 In all four of the games this year he had 0:12:04.640 --> 0:12:06.720 the one sack, and so he was at least healthy 0:12:06.760 --> 0:12:09.160 and on the field this year. I don't see where 0:12:09.200 --> 0:12:12.400 you take away a roster spot for Randy Gregory, because 0:12:12.760 --> 0:12:13.640 are you gonna cut. 0:12:13.480 --> 0:12:16.800 Billyami Fojoko to make a roster spot? I don't think so. 0:12:16.840 --> 0:12:19.719 That's a draft pick, whether or not he's been productive. 0:12:20.280 --> 0:12:22.560 I don't think you're making that pick. He was a 0:12:22.559 --> 0:12:23.280 fourth round pick. 0:12:23.280 --> 0:12:25.720 You're not going to do that in not as a 0:12:26.040 --> 0:12:27.960 not as a rookie, Like didn't do that last year. 0:12:28.600 --> 0:12:29.600 We didn't do that last year. 0:12:29.679 --> 0:12:31.160 Yeah, but I think they learned it less than there 0:12:31.240 --> 0:12:31.880 last year. 0:12:32.400 --> 0:12:35.160 Who are you talking about? Richard or to Ridgway was 0:12:35.200 --> 0:12:38.480 a sixth round pick. Fourth six fourth is a different 0:12:38.720 --> 0:12:44.000 that's a that's a premium listen decisions. And again I'm 0:12:44.080 --> 0:12:46.560 I'm taking the emotions out of it. You know, you 0:12:46.559 --> 0:12:47.960 know I do that. I take the emotions out of it. 0:12:47.960 --> 0:12:51.920 Okay, Sure, in terms of experience, in terms of what 0:12:52.000 --> 0:12:54.880 he does right, well, I don't care what he really 0:12:54.920 --> 0:12:56.839 did in Denver because guys turn it on and turn 0:12:56.880 --> 0:12:57.160 it off. 0:12:57.160 --> 0:12:58.880 That's the reality. People don't want to hear that. That's 0:12:58.920 --> 0:12:59.360 the facts. 0:12:59.360 --> 0:13:03.120 Okay, upon your situation, based upon how you encourage you are. 0:13:03.320 --> 0:13:05.280 The reality is he didn't really want to leave Dallas. 0:13:05.440 --> 0:13:06.880 He didn't want to leave Dallas. Okay. 0:13:07.000 --> 0:13:09.520 So he goes out there disgruntled already, and then he 0:13:09.559 --> 0:13:11.480 finds himself in a situation that's probably it wasn't the 0:13:11.480 --> 0:13:13.439 best situation. They sucked for a little while, okay, and 0:13:13.440 --> 0:13:15.200 they still are trying to figure that out. Okay, So 0:13:15.760 --> 0:13:17.880 he I'm pretty sure he turned he turned it off. Okay, 0:13:17.920 --> 0:13:21.200 he turned the tap off. I don't understand why if 0:13:21.240 --> 0:13:23.200 you take the emotional side of it out and all 0:13:23.240 --> 0:13:25.240 the all the other stuff in his history, all that jazz, 0:13:25.960 --> 0:13:28.560 he is a productive player when playing and if his 0:13:28.720 --> 0:13:32.400 contract is not going to be holding you down, and 0:13:32.480 --> 0:13:35.280 he's able to make more contributions than some of the 0:13:35.320 --> 0:13:37.280 other guys that you're carrying on your roster, carrying the 0:13:37.320 --> 0:13:40.760 same position, regardless of your initial investment into those guys. 0:13:41.120 --> 0:13:43.160 Your end game is you're trying to walk away with 0:13:43.160 --> 0:13:46.160 this season with the Ring. And if you can learn 0:13:46.200 --> 0:13:49.600 anything from anybody, go back a couple of years to 0:13:49.640 --> 0:13:52.439 the Dog on Rams. They loaded up right, and they 0:13:52.480 --> 0:13:55.200 loaded up, but they traded away everything this You wouldn't 0:13:55.440 --> 0:13:57.600 why would you not continue to build upon something if 0:13:57.600 --> 0:14:00.880 you have a viable asset that can add to your 0:14:00.960 --> 0:14:03.640 room as long as he doesn't take away from your room. 0:14:03.920 --> 0:14:06.480 He adds to your room. You get size, you get 0:14:06.480 --> 0:14:09.360 a one on one dominance, you get run stopping ability, 0:14:09.400 --> 0:14:11.640 you get all those things in one person. I don't 0:14:11.640 --> 0:14:13.520 see why, as long as he doesn't disrupt what you 0:14:13.520 --> 0:14:14.559 already have going on. 0:14:15.320 --> 0:14:17.440 I think the most difficult thing for me to be 0:14:17.440 --> 0:14:19.920 able to justify is him taking a roster spot over 0:14:19.960 --> 0:14:20.960 a different position group. 0:14:21.400 --> 0:14:22.600 Yeah. No, I'm not doing that. 0:14:22.400 --> 0:14:24.720 That's the toughest thing to That's the toughest thing for me. 0:14:24.880 --> 0:14:29.360 That's why Hoko is really the only opposite I think again, 0:14:29.400 --> 0:14:30.520 I'm trying to take the motion out of it. 0:14:30.560 --> 0:14:33.200 If you take is anybody picking up a hooko if 0:14:33.200 --> 0:14:39.120 you cut him? To be honest, yeah, probably definitely. So Okay, definitely. 0:14:39.440 --> 0:14:40.680 Devin Harper just got picked up. 0:14:40.680 --> 0:14:43.080 He was a fifth round pick that from two years prior, 0:14:43.440 --> 0:14:44.360 and they've get he got. 0:14:44.280 --> 0:14:46.080 Darren Harper has way more film than for Hoko. 0:14:48.240 --> 0:14:51.920 Still, I mean, he's a premium pick who was productive 0:14:51.920 --> 0:14:54.280 in college. Gallus had to go up and they didn't 0:14:54.320 --> 0:14:55.680 trade up to get it, but they had to pick 0:14:55.760 --> 0:14:56.880 him fifth. 0:14:56.920 --> 0:14:57.800 I'm not disrespected. 0:14:57.880 --> 0:15:01.760 I'm just saying that if anybody on your roster right 0:15:01.800 --> 0:15:04.720 now has been hidden in terms of what they can 0:15:04.760 --> 0:15:08.680 do in the league has been for Hoko, but you have. 0:15:08.720 --> 0:15:11.040 Him for four years on a rookie contract as opposed 0:15:11.080 --> 0:15:12.560 to maybe Randy Gregory on. 0:15:12.560 --> 0:15:15.080 A one year veteran minimum. I get it. I get 0:15:15.080 --> 0:15:15.360 it again. 0:15:15.560 --> 0:15:18.800 My mindset is what who's going to make the contributions 0:15:18.840 --> 0:15:19.640 to help me get the ring? 0:15:20.720 --> 0:15:23.320 That's my mindset. I get it. And everybody's not in 0:15:23.360 --> 0:15:26.200 that mindset. But most people aren't. Most people are not. 0:15:26.280 --> 0:15:28.120 I see where you're coming. Yeah, most people are not. 0:15:28.280 --> 0:15:30.320 I am trying to If that's why I'm not GMO, 0:15:30.680 --> 0:15:34.520 that's one another gym. However, my goal is to get 0:15:34.600 --> 0:15:34.960 a ring. 0:15:35.800 --> 0:15:38.440 I'm not trying to continue to position myself agreed for 0:15:38.520 --> 0:15:40.760 a potential ring. That's what Dallas's history has been for. 0:15:40.920 --> 0:15:41.120 When I. 0:15:43.000 --> 0:15:43.480 Get a ring. 0:15:43.600 --> 0:15:45.040 If the goal is to get a ring, then there's 0:15:45.120 --> 0:15:47.360 no reason to add another defensive lineman. That's just that's 0:15:47.440 --> 0:15:50.240 just my okay. Yeah, you take Randy Gregory's name out 0:15:50.280 --> 0:15:53.680 of it. There's just no reason to add anything to 0:15:53.760 --> 0:15:56.680 that group in my opinion. In my opinion, it's my opinion. 0:15:56.880 --> 0:15:59.680 And there's other spots that you could add, absolutely if 0:15:59.720 --> 0:16:02.360 those if there were viable people that at those position groups, 0:16:02.360 --> 0:16:03.240 you would jump all over it. 0:16:03.800 --> 0:16:05.800 You just would not put another on you would you would? 0:16:05.800 --> 0:16:07.440 I mean saying if there were addition, if there were 0:16:07.440 --> 0:16:09.360 an offensive linemen out there that you felt good about, 0:16:09.400 --> 0:16:10.080 you would grab him a. 0:16:10.040 --> 0:16:11.440 Heartbeat, no doubt, no doubt about it. 0:16:11.800 --> 0:16:15.680 If I can be absolutely dominant, which I'm already were 0:16:15.680 --> 0:16:16.960 doing a pretty dog on a good job of it 0:16:17.000 --> 0:16:19.480 at the defensive line position, right, If I could be 0:16:19.640 --> 0:16:21.960 absolutely dominant without a shadow of doubt, no matter who's 0:16:22.000 --> 0:16:23.920 on the field, no matter what rotation is in there, 0:16:24.160 --> 0:16:27.080 why would I not? Because the probability that somebody getting 0:16:27.120 --> 0:16:30.240 hurt at some point in time is high. Yeah, this 0:16:30.400 --> 0:16:32.440 is week five of seventeen. 0:16:34.080 --> 0:16:36.360 Long way to go. It's a long freaking way to go. Like, 0:16:36.880 --> 0:16:38.920 load up if there's position groups, you just loaded up 0:16:38.920 --> 0:16:42.600 at the quarterback position. You didn't need that. You might? 0:16:43.040 --> 0:16:45.320 You might, You always might. You know what I'm saying, 0:16:45.320 --> 0:16:46.240 You always might, you know? 0:16:46.400 --> 0:16:48.560 Like that's what I'm saying, Like, don't wait until you 0:16:48.680 --> 0:16:50.880 need it to load up on it, especially if you 0:16:50.920 --> 0:16:53.120 can get it for the discount, double check and it's 0:16:53.160 --> 0:16:55.160 not going to disrupt, is only going to add that's 0:16:55.240 --> 0:16:57.520 my whole person if you check those boxes, why. 0:16:57.520 --> 0:16:59.840 The heck not. He's huge. Yeah. 0:17:01.240 --> 0:17:04.400 Second news and note, yeah, we were uh, we've talked 0:17:04.440 --> 0:17:07.000 about it a little bit this week about how Trey 0:17:07.080 --> 0:17:09.520 Lance could potentially kind of help this matchup with the 0:17:09.560 --> 0:17:12.400 offensive staff and even with the defensive unit as well. 0:17:12.720 --> 0:17:15.680 That was a big talking point yesterday during locker room availability. 0:17:16.080 --> 0:17:18.880
