00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:46,839
Speaker 1: twenty three. This is season eighteen, episode number one seventeen.

9
00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:49,040
Speaker 1: Welcome to the latest edition of The Break. We're live

10
00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:51,960
Speaker 1: from s WBC Mortgage Studios at the Star War presenter

11
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:54,680
Speaker 1: by mill of like the Only Beer of the Dallas Cowboys,

12
00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:57,400
Speaker 1: and today I think we're actually going to get to

13
00:00:57,400 --> 00:00:59,760
Speaker 1: the topic that we started a couple of weeks ago,

14
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:04,520
Speaker 1: where we're going to identify the biggest question for the

15
00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:07,080
Speaker 1: Cowboys at each position. We got through the quarterback in

16
00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:11,039
Speaker 1: the running back position on that episode. We'll start up

17
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:13,199
Speaker 1: with tight end today and keep moving through the roster

18
00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:16,039
Speaker 1: seeing what we think. But before we get there, I

19
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:19,080
Speaker 1: want to talk a little bit about the franchise tag. Yesterday,

20
00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:23,039
Speaker 1: the NFL Franchise Tag period opened. It will remain open

21
00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:25,880
Speaker 1: through March seven. So basically, teams have two weeks to

22
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:28,680
Speaker 1: be able to identify players that would like to put

23
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:32,080
Speaker 1: the franchise tag on. In March seventh, at four pm Eastern,

24
00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:35,959
Speaker 1: that window will close, and then they'll start on March

25
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:39,319
Speaker 1: thirteenth and negotiating period, that little tampering period where teams

26
00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:41,840
Speaker 1: can start talking to players about free agency and deals.

27
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:45,160
Speaker 1: And then on March fifteenth at three pm Central, that's

28
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:48,080
Speaker 1: when free agency will begin. Here's my question for you, guys,

29
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:51,400
Speaker 1: who would you use the tag on for the Cowboys.

30
00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:53,400
Speaker 1: I'm gonna lay it out for you. You've got, I'm

31
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:56,720
Speaker 1: gonna give you four different options, and I'll tell you

32
00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:58,800
Speaker 1: how much you'd have to pay for them. Some of

33
00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:00,960
Speaker 1: them may seem well be, but I will throw him

34
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:03,720
Speaker 1: out there just for the sake of discussion. Dalton Schultz

35
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:08,680
Speaker 1: Cowboys would pay roughly about eleven point three million dollars

36
00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:11,799
Speaker 1: to put the tag on him. Tony Pollard Cowboys would

37
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:14,480
Speaker 1: pay roughly about ten point one million to put the

38
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:17,520
Speaker 1: tag on him. Layton vander esh he would have to

39
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:20,320
Speaker 1: pay a whopping almost twenty one million dollars to put

40
00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:24,160
Speaker 1: the franchise tag on him. And then Donovan Wilson Cowboys

41
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:27,240
Speaker 1: would have to pay about fourteen point five million to

42
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:29,960
Speaker 1: put the tag on him. Which of those would you

43
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:32,680
Speaker 1: put the tag on? Or your other option could be

44
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:36,800
Speaker 1: none of the above. I think this is pretty easy, honestly,

45
00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:40,480
Speaker 1: because I'm the best guy is the cheapest guy. So

46
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:43,320
Speaker 1: to me, I would go Tony Pollard on all day long,

47
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:48,080
Speaker 1: because I don't I mean, I don't know if some

48
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:49,400
Speaker 1: of these guys, I don't know if you even want

49
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:53,000
Speaker 1: to bring back anyways, and especially for that price. But

50
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:55,040
Speaker 1: Tony Pollard, I think at ten point one that you're

51
00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:59,399
Speaker 1: getting a steel And I think with him specifically, it's

52
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:03,280
Speaker 1: perfect time to go one year with him, and you

53
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:06,360
Speaker 1: know you're going to draft the running back at some point,

54
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:08,840
Speaker 1: and I think it's, you know, him coming back from injury.

55
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:11,280
Speaker 1: I definitely wanted for one more year and then we'll

56
00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:13,359
Speaker 1: see what happens after that. Maybe this is the year

57
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:16,120
Speaker 1: that he breaks down. I mean, I mean, knock on wood,

58
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:18,160
Speaker 1: I hope not. But I'm just saying running backs at

59
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:20,360
Speaker 1: that age, I mean, at that level of their career,

60
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:22,520
Speaker 1: we'll see, you know, what the wear and teary looks like.

61
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:24,280
Speaker 1: But I go one year ten point one. I think

62
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:26,280
Speaker 1: that's almost a steel. Do we expect then he kind

63
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:29,360
Speaker 1: of set back from the injury that I would have

64
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:33,480
Speaker 1: some kind of effect in I know he should be

65
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:36,320
Speaker 1: ready by training camp, but is that the type of

66
00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:41,000
Speaker 1: injury that maybe it kind of changes his footwork and

67
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:45,040
Speaker 1: speed and game? Really? Yeah, you know, it's one of

68
00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:47,320
Speaker 1: those things. It's a It's a really good question because

69
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:50,560
Speaker 1: we kind of thought the same thing with Michael Gallup.

70
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:52,200
Speaker 1: And I know it's a knee and an ankle or

71
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 1: two different things. But you look at when you start

72
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:56,800
Speaker 1: to talk about ankles and running backs and they use

73
00:03:56,920 --> 00:03:59,480
Speaker 1: their feet their legs, is there going to be the

74
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:02,120
Speaker 1: flexibility there? You know? Is it going to be the

75
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:04,880
Speaker 1: same for him? I don't think. You know, with Tony,

76
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:08,160
Speaker 1: he's he's one of those guys that I feel like

77
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:10,160
Speaker 1: that he would bounce back. But with a running back,

78
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:12,520
Speaker 1: you don't know. You just don't know, because where is

79
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:15,760
Speaker 1: the ankle flexibility? Where's the ability to cut, to break,

80
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:18,800
Speaker 1: to turn to pivot? You know, where where are you

81
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:21,159
Speaker 1: with all that? It was a pretty significant injury that

82
00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:25,000
Speaker 1: he had. Me personally to answer your question, I don't

83
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:28,240
Speaker 1: tag any of these guys. I don't and I do

84
00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:30,920
Speaker 1: this for the reason of I have a little bit

85
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:32,960
Speaker 1: of advantage because I've looked at all the players in

86
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:35,279
Speaker 1: the college draft, you know. I mean, I've seen the

87
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:37,440
Speaker 1: running backs in the draft. I've seen the list of

88
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:40,560
Speaker 1: the pro free agents. I'm sure you guys have seen

89
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:44,160
Speaker 1: all those names and stuff like that. To me, I'm

90
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:46,680
Speaker 1: going to let him go and test this market. I

91
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:49,520
Speaker 1: think the Cowboys are fifty fifty on this one. I

92
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:52,640
Speaker 1: really really do. I don't. I think there's people in

93
00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:55,200
Speaker 1: the building that would like to see him, you know,

94
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:57,800
Speaker 1: at one year at ten million dollars makes a lot

95
00:04:57,839 --> 00:05:00,400
Speaker 1: of sense, you know, yeah, you know, if there's that

96
00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:03,880
Speaker 1: unknown that you just asked about. You know, I think

97
00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:06,880
Speaker 1: being in the running back business, especially with tags and

98
00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:10,279
Speaker 1: contracts and stuff, is dangerous. I think it really really is.

99
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:13,200
Speaker 1: As much as I love Tony, I think I feel

100
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:14,920
Speaker 1: like they need to kind of start over here with this.

101
00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:16,960
Speaker 1: I think you could kind of move on from Tony

102
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:19,279
Speaker 1: and you might be in a situation too where Tony

103
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:22,920
Speaker 1: goes out with other running backs trying to get deals. Well,

104
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:25,239
Speaker 1: he's a little bit of a damaged goods right now.

105
00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:27,839
Speaker 1: Are you going to give a guy, you know, six

106
00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:31,599
Speaker 1: seven million dollars a year as a damaged player with

107
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:34,039
Speaker 1: that kind of that unknown. But you do know the

108
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:37,080
Speaker 1: college running back situation, you do no free agency with

109
00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:40,040
Speaker 1: the other running backs. I'm gonna take a chance. I'm

110
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:43,599
Speaker 1: gonna maybe get Tony Pollard back on a deal that's

111
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:47,880
Speaker 1: not going to be tag tag high. So that's kind

112
00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:49,360
Speaker 1: of where I'm at right there. And if i lose

113
00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:51,840
Speaker 1: Tony Pollard, then I'm going to trust what I do

114
00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:54,080
Speaker 1: very well. I'm gonna draft, you know, I'm gonna go

115
00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:56,000
Speaker 1: out there and I'm gonna draft, and I'm gonna study,

116
00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:58,320
Speaker 1: and i'm gonna figure this thing out, and I'm gonna

117
00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:00,240
Speaker 1: get the guy that kind of fits the best. There's

118
00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:04,320
Speaker 1: several of these backs that have similar qualities to what

119
00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:06,560
Speaker 1: you get with Tony Pollard. So I'm gonna let him

120
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:09,520
Speaker 1: test the market and see what he can get. And

121
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:11,240
Speaker 1: if you want to come back to us and say, hey,

122
00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:13,320
Speaker 1: we got this kind of a deal and you shop

123
00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:15,960
Speaker 1: it back to us, maybe we'll consider it. But other

124
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:17,760
Speaker 1: than that, I think i'm gonna let I'm gonna let

125
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:20,320
Speaker 1: these guys all kind of go test the market. Yeah,

126
00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:22,440
Speaker 1: money wise, it seems like it would be the right deal.

127
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:25,440
Speaker 1: For the Cowboys to kind of put a tag on Pollard.

128
00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:28,360
Speaker 1: But I am concerned about the injury and just not

129
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:31,600
Speaker 1: really knowing. But I do think that it all goes

130
00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:35,520
Speaker 1: into like in correlation with what's going to happen with

131
00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:38,840
Speaker 1: Zeke and what are they gonna do that with him.

132
00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:43,160
Speaker 1: I just find it very hard to believe that they

133
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:47,360
Speaker 1: would have those two running backs here next season, like

134
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:50,279
Speaker 1: something's gonna one of them is gonna be gone. I

135
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 1: do think that it's hard also for me to see

136
00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:57,000
Speaker 1: at us both of them being gone. But then to

137
00:06:57,080 --> 00:06:59,440
Speaker 1: that point, do you what do you do with Zeke?

138
00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:02,360
Speaker 1: I see I kind of see right now despite the injury,

139
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:06,279
Speaker 1: I see Zeke more out the door than I see

140
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:12,680
Speaker 1: taller and taller Poler Tony Poller being out. But you know,

141
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:14,120
Speaker 1: I don't know if they if they can come to

142
00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:16,320
Speaker 1: an agreement to even cut or how much they would

143
00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:20,120
Speaker 1: even cut zeek salary. You're right, that's the big domino first.

144
00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:21,720
Speaker 1: I mean, you got to make that decision before you

145
00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:24,880
Speaker 1: make some others. I believe, but you know, I just

146
00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:28,120
Speaker 1: feel like the injury is the reason why the franchise

147
00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:31,400
Speaker 1: tag makes sense, because yeah, there's there's some unknown but

148
00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:33,760
Speaker 1: I'm willing to take that chance at the ten point one,

149
00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:38,640
Speaker 1: mainly because and when he went down, we talked about this.

150
00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:40,400
Speaker 1: When he went down, I remember being in the press

151
00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:45,120
Speaker 1: box going it's over, this game is over. And it

152
00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:48,160
Speaker 1: wasn't you know, they couldn't make a kick to save

153
00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:50,480
Speaker 1: their life. You know, Mayer wasn't gonna make any kind

154
00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:52,400
Speaker 1: of kick until I guess later in the game. But

155
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:54,600
Speaker 1: like you didn't feel like you had that weapon, You

156
00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:56,960
Speaker 1: had nothing going for you. It was just CD. And

157
00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:00,600
Speaker 1: I'm like, so that for that reason alone, I think

158
00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:03,480
Speaker 1: I would say I'm gonna bring Pollard back again. Let's see,

159
00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:06,400
Speaker 1: got one of the best rehab teams there is. I

160
00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:09,080
Speaker 1: think that he'll be in good shape for there. I mean,

161
00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:11,720
Speaker 1: the Julius Jones kind of scares me a little bit.

162
00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:14,120
Speaker 1: High ankle's brain. Second year of his career never really

163
00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:16,320
Speaker 1: was the same, So we'll see. You know, that was

164
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:19,120
Speaker 1: twenty years ago, but I'm just saying I still think

165
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:21,120
Speaker 1: Pollard with one year, I like it, and I like

166
00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:24,120
Speaker 1: drafting a guy, and draft a guy Pollard, Willie Davis,

167
00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:26,160
Speaker 1: I'm okay with that. I'm gonna take you back to

168
00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:28,040
Speaker 1: what you were thinking in that game. Coming back to

169
00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:33,360
Speaker 1: the old school fools. Yeah. Does that say more to

170
00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:36,240
Speaker 1: you though about your thoughts on Zeke and whether Zeke

171
00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:39,960
Speaker 1: should be here next year? Yeah, yes, yeah, I think

172
00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:42,000
Speaker 1: I think that Zeke, and we've talked about this on

173
00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:45,120
Speaker 1: one oh five three the Fan, if that we feel

174
00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:47,599
Speaker 1: like that Zeke is in the situation of what you

175
00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:51,400
Speaker 1: had with Dez Bryant DeMarcus Ware. You know, you don't

176
00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:54,040
Speaker 1: you think so much of these players that you don't

177
00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:57,280
Speaker 1: want to low ball them so badly that you say, Okay,

178
00:08:57,520 --> 00:09:00,160
Speaker 1: you're only gonna play here if it's the veteran minimum.

179
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:03,960
Speaker 1: They moved on from where they moved on from Dez Bryant.

180
00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:06,240
Speaker 1: You know, remember that whole thing with Dez Bryant. It

181
00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:08,960
Speaker 1: was just kind of what's gonna happen, what's gonna happen,

182
00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:10,959
Speaker 1: and then you know, he's you know, they're in their

183
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:13,920
Speaker 1: draft meetings over here, Jerry and Dez all of a

184
00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:16,480
Speaker 1: sudden have a meeting and then Dez storms out, never

185
00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:18,960
Speaker 1: again to be back in the facility. You know, I

186
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:20,760
Speaker 1: have a feeling that it's going to be the same

187
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:23,679
Speaker 1: way with Zeke. I think there. I don't think they

188
00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:25,560
Speaker 1: want to I don't think they want to take zeke

189
00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:28,640
Speaker 1: salary so low that it's an embarrassment to him. I

190
00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:31,480
Speaker 1: think they're just gonna move on now again to your

191
00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:36,280
Speaker 1: you know Pollard question about that, that's if Pollard wasn't

192
00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:41,160
Speaker 1: hurt to me. I agree about the tag. I agree.

193
00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:44,640
Speaker 1: The thing is, now that he's injured, I'm gonna bet.

194
00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:47,079
Speaker 1: I'm gonna bet. Yeah, we got the rehab and all that,

195
00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:49,560
Speaker 1: but I'm gonna bet that somebody else is not going

196
00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:52,120
Speaker 1: to see it like we do right here, right now,

197
00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:54,680
Speaker 1: and that you can maybe get him back. And it's

198
00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:57,640
Speaker 1: not that not that ten million dollars that you have

199
00:09:57,720 --> 00:10:00,000
Speaker 1: to pay. So let's assume for a second that that happened.

200
00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:03,880
Speaker 1: Is that a better or a worse situation, because then

201
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:06,000
Speaker 1: you're now going to have to probably do a multi

202
00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:10,320
Speaker 1: year deal where I'm thinking maybe if he I'm I'm

203
00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:12,560
Speaker 1: trying to bet that. I'm trying to bet and the

204
00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:14,760
Speaker 1: fact I talked to somebody in the league yesterday that's

205
00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:18,120
Speaker 1: fifty fifty on him. It's not a slam dunk. Yeah.

206
00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:20,200
Speaker 1: I talked to one of my gang of seven guys

207
00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:22,720
Speaker 1: around the league and I said, Hey, where do you

208
00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:25,079
Speaker 1: see Poard? What would you do? With Pollard and they

209
00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:27,640
Speaker 1: gave me I'd say it's fifty fifty it really really,

210
00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:30,680
Speaker 1: you rather do three for twenty five. I'm throwing numbers

211
00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:33,040
Speaker 1: out here. Three for twenty five, you know, a little

212
00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:35,520
Speaker 1: bit more than eighty years, probably less per year, but yeah,

213
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:40,560
Speaker 1: but but you have three years. Yeah, And I'll that's

214
00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:42,920
Speaker 1: that's interesting too, because he's at that point in his

215
00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:45,800
Speaker 1: career where a running back. You know, you're like, is

216
00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:49,040
Speaker 1: he gonna get a big deal? Is he not? I'm gambling.

217
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:52,320
Speaker 1: I'm gambling only because I know I know that, I

218
00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:54,480
Speaker 1: know what he is as a player, but I know

219
00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:58,560
Speaker 1: he's injured to rehab and I don't know, from Ambar's point,

220
00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:01,160
Speaker 1: how he's going to come back. And do I want

221
00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:03,720
Speaker 1: to pay? I paid. I already saw what happened with

222
00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:07,440
Speaker 1: Polar excume me with Gallup, you know, the knee and stuff.

223
00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:10,480
Speaker 1: I mean, he came back, he was but it wasn't

224
00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:13,120
Speaker 1: the same. It just wasn't the same. And now we're like,

225
00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:15,720
Speaker 1: the team needs are drafted wide receiver, they need a

226
00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:17,400
Speaker 1: second wide receiver. And now you're like, wait a minute,

227
00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:20,520
Speaker 1: we just paid for one here. I don't think I'm

228
00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:24,199
Speaker 1: going down that path again. But if he was, if

229
00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:28,800
Speaker 1: he was completely healthy, I would I would totally dance

230
00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:30,640
Speaker 1: with you on this one. But I'm gonna gamble too.

231
00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:32,760
Speaker 1: I think it's a gamble as well, and I would

232
00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:34,360
Speaker 1: do it. I think the ten million of the year

233
00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:36,800
Speaker 1: is a gamble because of the injury. But I'm willing

234
00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:39,599
Speaker 1: to do it because I saw what difference maker he was, like,

235
00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:41,920
Speaker 1: he is a difference And the thing about Zeke, this

236
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:44,320
Speaker 1: is the interesting part. I think Zeke would be a

237
00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:48,600
Speaker 1: really good number two running back for any team that's

238
00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:52,120
Speaker 1: got a you know, an established, established number one starter.

239
00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:55,240
Speaker 1: You know, let's say somebody like a Chicago that has

240
00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:57,480
Speaker 1: a Montgomery and then he comes in and he would

241
00:11:57,520 --> 00:11:59,400
Speaker 1: be really good. But I don't think he is a

242
00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:02,319
Speaker 1: good number too. When you've got Pollard, who've got question

243
00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:05,280
Speaker 1: marks at number one. That's that's the issue. That's the

244
00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:08,160
Speaker 1: average amount of years that you give a running back.

245
00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:12,000
Speaker 1: Pollar's about to go into his fifth year. Yea, that's

246
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:14,079
Speaker 1: the The wear and tear on him is not as

247
00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:16,400
Speaker 1: bad as this was. Zeke and I and I just

248
00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:20,160
Speaker 1: remember this. I remember this Hard Knocks episode where Stephen

249
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:22,679
Speaker 1: Jones was standing next to Mike McCarthy and he was

250
00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:25,120
Speaker 1: pointing out to Zeke and he goes, man, you guys

251
00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:27,440
Speaker 1: have given him a lot of carries. You guys have

252
00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:29,600
Speaker 1: given you know. And this was two three years ago

253
00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:32,319
Speaker 1: when that that hard knocks and I'm thinking, well, he's

254
00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:35,360
Speaker 1: already seen it then, you know, now where are we

255
00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:38,440
Speaker 1: with zek? I think? I think to me, I think

256
00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:40,679
Speaker 1: it's a move on. You take your cap hit and

257
00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:42,240
Speaker 1: then you you go for it. He had like a

258
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:47,480
Speaker 1: hate smile, kind of like Steven acknowledges, like stevens Cone's like, well, yeah, yeah,

259
00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:49,840
Speaker 1: we have, we've we've he's carried the ball a lot. Yeah,

260
00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:54,000
Speaker 1: you're right about that, coach translation, Uh, give someone else

261
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:56,560
Speaker 1: the ball? Yeah, Like when when I when I when

262
00:12:56,559 --> 00:12:58,959
Speaker 1: one of the owners comes in and says, um, I

263
00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:01,520
Speaker 1: think maybe we should you know, like, yeah, any think

264
00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:03,199
Speaker 1: maybe we should give the boat a Lance Dumbar. I

265
00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:05,319
Speaker 1: mean I remember when Jerry used to say that. I'm like, oh,

266
00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:07,240
Speaker 1: then Lance Dumbar is gonna get the ball. Yeah. I

267
00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:09,560
Speaker 1: think the interesting thing here is that And I don't

268
00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:12,000
Speaker 1: know which way I really believe here, but I've I've

269
00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:14,960
Speaker 1: heard a lot of people with the concept of never

270
00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:17,800
Speaker 1: give a running back in the NFL, A second deal

271
00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:22,720
Speaker 1: just because there's just too many other young fresh out

272
00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:26,800
Speaker 1: of college facts that you can get from. It can

273
00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:30,240
Speaker 1: get you similar production for a lot less money in

274
00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:33,280
Speaker 1: a stra in a capstrack litchtrap league, Like if you

275
00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:35,240
Speaker 1: were in a league that was like the nineties where

276
00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:37,680
Speaker 1: there was no salary cap, then go for it. Keep

277
00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:39,160
Speaker 1: paying them and keep them here as long as you

278
00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:41,360
Speaker 1: want to keep them here. But it does make you

279
00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:44,040
Speaker 1: wonder is it a better just when you talk about

280
00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:46,360
Speaker 1: the philosophy of team building, it is a better model

281
00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:49,000
Speaker 1: to say, if I'm going to spend money, it won't

282
00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:51,360
Speaker 1: necessarily be on a second contract for running back because

283
00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:54,360
Speaker 1: of replacement value is relatively spend I'm not doing that.

284
00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:56,640
Speaker 1: I mean, that's why I like the one year deal. Yeah,

285
00:13:56,760 --> 00:13:58,600
Speaker 1: you're not going to draft the fourth overall pick it

286
00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:00,400
Speaker 1: and Zeke. I mean, you're not getting that guy. You're

287
00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:03,600
Speaker 1: getting some first round maybe second round whatever, and you

288
00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:05,520
Speaker 1: might have a little bit of a learning curve. Yes,

289
00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:07,720
Speaker 1: runners can come in the league and make a difference,

290
00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:09,199
Speaker 1: but you're gonna have a little bit of a curve.

291
00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:11,400
Speaker 1: I like, my guy have a one year deal. He's

292
00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:13,360
Speaker 1: coming back from an injury, he's got something to prove

293
00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:15,960
Speaker 1: as well, to prove that he's worth a big deal.

294
00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:19,320
Speaker 1: I got him. I'm drafting someone. How high are you drafting?

295
00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:22,880
Speaker 1: I mean wherever he falls to me, if if, if

296
00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:25,760
Speaker 1: the Texas kid is there, the in Dijon, I know

297
00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:28,200
Speaker 1: there's two. If that kid is there at twenty six,

298
00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:31,280
Speaker 1: I'm fine with that pick. I really am with with

299
00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:34,120
Speaker 1: now with five year deal, with five years guarantee, I'm

300
00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:36,200
Speaker 1: fine with especially running back. I'll take the five years

301
00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:40,520
Speaker 1: and then I'll probably move on situation. It seems like

302
00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:42,400
Speaker 1: this guy is ready to play. You've seen him more

303
00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:45,200
Speaker 1: than okay. We know that there's always okay, one of

304
00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:52,040
Speaker 1: a kind. Oh yeah, and you're just looking at the

305
00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:55,080
Speaker 1: position itself. Obviously you look for talent as well. But

306
00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:57,960
Speaker 1: how high are you rating taking him off because he's

307
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:00,640
Speaker 1: a special Hell, then I like the Alabama kid. Gibbs

308
00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:03,040
Speaker 1: is a game in the first round. Yeah, I actually,

309
00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:05,320
Speaker 1: you know, I went to the Arkansas Alabama game and

310
00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:07,200
Speaker 1: I think he had three hundred rushing yards in the

311
00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:09,320
Speaker 1: fourth quarter. You remember him from the Texas game. I

312
00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:16,080
Speaker 1: do he know. That's That's the thing about That's the

313
00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:19,360
Speaker 1: only reason why I'm I'm interested to seeing if I'm

314
00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:22,880
Speaker 1: gambling on Pollard is because I know there's probably six

315
00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:25,720
Speaker 1: or seven running backs that are legitimate R and it,

316
00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:28,320
Speaker 1: A and M kid. He's he's a second round kid,

317
00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:32,680
Speaker 1: I like, I mean, he's a second third fourn This

318
00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:35,440
Speaker 1: thing is gonna stretch the tank Bigsby. We're gonna have

319
00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:38,440
Speaker 1: the draft show falling this one today. Yeah, Auburn Tank.

320
00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:40,760
Speaker 1: Bigsby is a guy that. Yeah. See that's I'm saying,

321
00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:43,800
Speaker 1: there's options here. You know. See that's where I'm kind

322
00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:46,320
Speaker 1: of you know, you've got compensatory picks, You've got all

323
00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:49,400
Speaker 1: these kinds of things. Here's here's another thing about Pollard.

324
00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:53,680
Speaker 1: Go go, Look he started four games his whole career. Yeah, okay,

325
00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:56,000
Speaker 1: in those four games, I gotta look this up. But

326
00:15:56,280 --> 00:15:58,320
Speaker 1: in those four games, I think the Cowboys have scored

327
00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:01,840
Speaker 1: forty points every time he's I mean he started a game,

328
00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:04,840
Speaker 1: I mean average average forty, average forty. Because there was

329
00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:07,560
Speaker 1: the Green Bay he scored twenty eight. They're scoring points

330
00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:09,720
Speaker 1: with them. So I'm just saying, for one year, give

331
00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:11,520
Speaker 1: I'll give him. I'll give him a one year. I'm

332
00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:13,600
Speaker 1: not against that. Yeah, I don't know what happened to

333
00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:17,600
Speaker 1: the running game because when when all the both those

334
00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:21,120
Speaker 1: backs stopped any kind of production when Steele went out.

335
00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:24,760
Speaker 1: You know, I mean there's games were Pollard go go

336
00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:27,000
Speaker 1: look at them, go gook the game against the Commanders,

337
00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:29,440
Speaker 1: you know, you play them twice a year, you know,

338
00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:32,800
Speaker 1: and and both those games were like I'm you know,

339
00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:37,160
Speaker 1: twenty something yards, thirty something yards, you know it. There

340
00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:39,280
Speaker 1: were some games where he had one hundred and thirty

341
00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:41,080
Speaker 1: yards or what I mean. There's but then all of

342
00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:43,680
Speaker 1: a sudden, Steel gets hurt and the running game goes

343
00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:46,840
Speaker 1: to hell. You know, nobody's running the ball, and you're like, going,

344
00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:49,080
Speaker 1: wait a minute, now, well, why why are we not

345
00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:50,920
Speaker 1: running the ball anymore? Is it the backs? Is that

346
00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:53,120
Speaker 1: the line? I mean, I I'm one of these guys

347
00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:55,400
Speaker 1: that believe putting Tyrn Smith at right tackle was gonna

348
00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:58,120
Speaker 1: be better, you know, and it wasn't. And that's the

349
00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:00,640
Speaker 1: interesting thing here, Brian. If let's say, for example, you've

350
00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:02,600
Speaker 1: got that ten million dollars that you would use on

351
00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:04,960
Speaker 1: the franchise tag that you tell me, Okay, we're not

352
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:08,119
Speaker 1: gonna franchise him. We're gonna select somebody in the draft,

353
00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:11,560
Speaker 1: probably gonna be paying him his coup hit will probably

354
00:17:11,560 --> 00:17:14,520
Speaker 1: be a million or so, and that other nine million

355
00:17:14,840 --> 00:17:16,359
Speaker 1: I can now use to go out and get me

356
00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:20,640
Speaker 1: a veteran guard. That's a really good veteran guard. What's

357
00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:22,600
Speaker 1: a better use of your money? Is it to keep

358
00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:25,760
Speaker 1: Pollard here on one year franchise tag or is it

359
00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:29,639
Speaker 1: spending that money on a better, better guard? Can I

360
00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:31,920
Speaker 1: so now your offensive line is better? Can I keep

361
00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:36,560
Speaker 1: Wilson and Vanderish? Maybe? I mean, I mean, it's it's

362
00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:39,439
Speaker 1: the same philosophy. It's the same philosophy that that that

363
00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:43,560
Speaker 1: they told Nick and everybody about about with Randy Gregory.

364
00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:47,560
Speaker 1: Jerry's argument about not paying Randy Gregory fourteen million dollars

365
00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:50,720
Speaker 1: years says he got three defensive players. Yeah, that's that's

366
00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:54,120
Speaker 1: the that's the by the way, Durrance's back up right, Yeah, see,

367
00:17:54,119 --> 00:17:57,160
Speaker 1: that's that's I mean. I was looking at the contracts

368
00:17:57,400 --> 00:18:00,359
Speaker 1: of Michael Gallop yea, and I was thinking, and you know,

369
00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:03,479
Speaker 1: that's a situation that the Cowboys. I don't know if

370
00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:06,040
Speaker 1: they're looking at that right now, but I would be like,

371
00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:08,560
Speaker 1: you can get out of this deal after nixt after

372
00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:11,360
Speaker 1: this year, this year, after this you could get out

373
00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:14,440
Speaker 1: of it. Yeah, but you could also save about eight

374
00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:17,040
Speaker 1: million dollars. If you said, we think he's going to

375
00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:20,280
Speaker 1: be a good receiver for us, let's let's extend him

376
00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:23,000
Speaker 1: a little bit. Let's extend his deal, lower his cap

377
00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:26,600
Speaker 1: right now, and push him out a little bit. You know,

378
00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:29,120
Speaker 1: you could do that. You could save some money as well. So,

379
00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:31,400
Speaker 1: I mean, there's a lot of different that's a risky

380
00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:34,000
Speaker 1: one just because you don't know what that's gonna mean

381
00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:36,359
Speaker 1: two or three years from now exactly. I mean, I

382
00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:41,119
Speaker 1: don't gallop. Gallup had one game with fifty yards or

383
00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:42,919
Speaker 1: more of this year and that was sixty four. It

384
00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:45,000
Speaker 1: wasn't like he was you know, he had more games

385
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:49,240
Speaker 1: with zero than he had over fifty, right, something like that. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

386
00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:50,720
Speaker 1: for that amount of money, And that's a that's a

387
00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:53,200
Speaker 1: risk if you if you choose wrong on that one.

388
00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:55,080
Speaker 1: All right, let's take our first break when we come back.

389
00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:57,640
Speaker 1: We're going to dive into this the question of what's

390
00:18:57,640 --> 00:19:00,760
Speaker 1: the biggest problem or question the Cowboys have to solve

391
00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:02,719
Speaker 1: at each position. We're going to start with the tight

392
00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:04,200
Speaker 1: ends when we come back. This is the Dallas Cowboys

393
00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:07,159
Speaker 1: dot Com Radio. Todd thought it would be secure to

394
00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:09,840
Speaker 1: jog in the Cheetah Savannah Todd believed the big Cat

395
00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:13,119
Speaker 1: repellent he bought online was reliable, and now Todd is

396
00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:15,280
Speaker 1: trying to be faster than this cheetah that can run

397
00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:17,960
Speaker 1: eighty miles per hour. But the good news is Todd

398
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:20,320
Speaker 1: has at and T five G. It is fast, reliable,

399
00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:22,399
Speaker 1: and secure, and he learned the best thing to do

400
00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:25,000
Speaker 1: is stop running and toss her the backpack with the

401
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:28,679
Speaker 1: beef stew at and T five G. Fast, reliable, secure,

402
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:31,800

Speaker 1: segment of the Break Life from the s WBC Mortgage Studios.

438
00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:26,199
Speaker 1: At the start, we're presented by mill of Light, the

439
00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:28,439
Speaker 1: only beer of the Dallas Cowboys, and this segment is

440
00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:32,359
Speaker 1: brought to you by blockchain dot Com. All right, here

441
00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:35,960
Speaker 1: we go. Let's talk positions. And the question I have

442
00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:38,040
Speaker 1: is for you guys is pretty simple. It's what's the

443
00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:41,440
Speaker 1: biggest question that the Cowboys have to answer at each position?

444
00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:44,280
Speaker 1: That could be about a player contract, that can be

445
00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:47,720
Speaker 1: about player performance, whatever you want to path you want

446
00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:49,359
Speaker 1: to go down, But we're gonna talk about the position.

447
00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:51,480
Speaker 1: Let's start with the tight end position. We've already talked

448
00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:54,439
Speaker 1: about running back and quarterback in our last show, so

449
00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:56,800
Speaker 1: let's talk about tight end Nick. Which what do you

450
00:21:56,800 --> 00:21:59,120
Speaker 1: think is the biggest question for the Cowboys this year

451
00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:04,120
Speaker 1: in at tight end? Um? Who's who's the starter? I mean, like,

452
00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:07,560
Speaker 1: who's who? Who are they gonna have to replace? Um?

453
00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:09,879
Speaker 1: Dalton Schultz And that's what I think he would go

454
00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:12,760
Speaker 1: to free agency. I think he'll probably get a deal

455
00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:16,240
Speaker 1: and if somebody will will pay that based off of production.

456
00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:19,679
Speaker 1: And then then is do they feel like Ferguson is

457
00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:22,679
Speaker 1: ready to be the starter there? Or do they draft

458
00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:25,000
Speaker 1: or they sign someone. I'm here, I think they will

459
00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:28,320
Speaker 1: sign somebody. But um, you know, I just just kind

460
00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:29,879
Speaker 1: of what do they do with that third spot. Do

461
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:32,200
Speaker 1: they feel like it's just another draft pick? Or they

462
00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:35,800
Speaker 1: did they get a veteran Maybe I could see a

463
00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:39,240
Speaker 1: veteran guy that's kind of more of a blocker. You know,

464
00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:42,399
Speaker 1: these two, these two young guys were good. Would it

465
00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:45,639
Speaker 1: kill you guys if they took the best tight end

466
00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:50,240
Speaker 1: in the draft at twenty six? Yes, No, wouldn't kill me.

467
00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:53,840
Speaker 1: I will tell you this. Let me put it. It's uh,

468
00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:56,560
Speaker 1: it's Michael Mary six five. He's two sixty five from

469
00:22:56,600 --> 00:22:59,600
Speaker 1: Notre Dame. Can he be Kelsey or Kittle? He can? He? Yeah,

470
00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:03,000
Speaker 1: he's out the ability to he's he doesn't have the

471
00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:06,560
Speaker 1: great speed, but there's plenty of routes where you see

472
00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:09,760
Speaker 1: him doing stuff that same kind of game, the dragging,

473
00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:11,920
Speaker 1: the up the field stuff all that. Let me ask

474
00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:14,360
Speaker 1: you this, what I heard. What I heard about him

475
00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:19,520
Speaker 1: was he is more in the mold of Witten than Kelsey. Yeah,

476
00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:21,120
Speaker 1: and the reason why and the reason why that makes

477
00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:23,200
Speaker 1: no no, no, no no no. But here's why it makes

478
00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:25,680
Speaker 1: a difference to me. Yeah, if I'm willing to pay

479
00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:29,399
Speaker 1: that higher premium a first round pick on him, I

480
00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:32,159
Speaker 1: really need him to be a mismatch problem for other teams.

481
00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:34,359
Speaker 1: I don't know that Witten was ever a mismatch problem.

482
00:23:34,359 --> 00:23:37,200
Speaker 1: Whitten just had a knack for you. Put a linebacker

483
00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:40,680
Speaker 1: on me, stirred down. I'll find a way to get open.

484
00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:43,680
Speaker 1: I'm gonna catch the ball. You're gonna tackle me first down.

485
00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:46,280
Speaker 1: We moved the chains. Isn't that a mismatch? Well, no,

486
00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:50,600
Speaker 1: But the difference, I mean, the cowboy history, the difference is,

487
00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:53,520
Speaker 1: the difference is coming up here tomorrow. The difference is

488
00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:56,080
Speaker 1: a mismatch type player. The one I'm talking about, a

489
00:23:56,200 --> 00:24:00,720
Speaker 1: Kelsey type is he's now he's out wide. Yeah, he's

490
00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:02,479
Speaker 1: all over the play. You don't know where he's lining up.

491
00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:05,320
Speaker 1: He's down the field like he does a lot more things.

492
00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:06,919
Speaker 1: And don't get me wrong, I'm not saying I'm not

493
00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:10,040
Speaker 1: diminishing what Witten does. I'm saying, if I'm gonna pay

494
00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:13,000
Speaker 1: a premium like you gotta steal getting Jason Witten in

495
00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:16,000
Speaker 1: the third round. Yeah, first round. We got lucky attacking

496
00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:17,919
Speaker 1: that draft, No doubt you did. We did. We had

497
00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:20,480
Speaker 1: a first round. He was our last player. And that

498
00:24:20,520 --> 00:24:23,000
Speaker 1: the reason I asked that was Witten's grade was a

499
00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:25,920
Speaker 1: one one nine. The lower the grade, the better, So

500
00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:28,280
Speaker 1: one one nine would be the very last player in

501
00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:31,760
Speaker 1: the first round. So if you had twenty names, he

502
00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:34,439
Speaker 1: was number twenty. And so all of a sudden, and

503
00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:38,560
Speaker 1: this was a draft that was pretty deep. LJ. Smith, Sidler,

504
00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:42,320
Speaker 1: Dallas Clark from Iowa. They had, there was players. I mean,

505
00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:44,440
Speaker 1: people were like, well, I'll take this guy, I'll take

506
00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:46,679
Speaker 1: this guy. And so Witten just kept going down the

507
00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:49,480
Speaker 1: board and finally it's like, you know, Jerry LuxI Bill

508
00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:51,520
Speaker 1: and like, we gotta take Witton, don't we. It's a

509
00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:53,520
Speaker 1: first Fronily like, yeah, we'll take him. Now here we go,

510
00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:55,080
Speaker 1: let's turn the card in, you know the kind of thing.

511
00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:57,959
Speaker 1: So if you're telling me that you can get Witten,

512
00:24:58,040 --> 00:25:00,560
Speaker 1: the guy that has that kind of longevity, it could

513
00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:04,360
Speaker 1: potentially lead the team in receptions about his career. I'm

514
00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:06,960
Speaker 1: I'm I'm more open to that, and I'm not I

515
00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:10,240
Speaker 1: wouldn't be as disappointed in that. But I understand what

516
00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:13,840
Speaker 1: you're saying, because Luke Musgrave from Oregon State fits the

517
00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:16,439
Speaker 1: guy that you're talking about. But that might be a

518
00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:19,040
Speaker 1: guy that when you talk about Mayor is the first

519
00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:22,280
Speaker 1: round guy, and then Musgrave is just right there, just

520
00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:24,600
Speaker 1: right below him as far as that goes. But I

521
00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:30,040
Speaker 1: think that you're trying to replace Schultz, am I? I

522
00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:31,879
Speaker 1: I think so. I think I think the Cowboys are

523
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:33,400
Speaker 1: trying to I don't know about you. Well, I guess

524
00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:35,439
Speaker 1: the reason why I said why I said again that

525
00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:37,399
Speaker 1: sounds weird, And the reason why I'm saying that is

526
00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:39,600
Speaker 1: because when I talk about those two types of tight

527
00:25:39,720 --> 00:25:42,000
Speaker 1: ends right now, the way I'm looking at it is overall,

528
00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:44,760
Speaker 1: my offense needs more firepower. I got it. That's the problem.

529
00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:47,399
Speaker 1: And so I don't need necessarily a third down type

530
00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:48,840
Speaker 1: tight end. I need a tight end it's going to

531
00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:52,240
Speaker 1: create problems. That's gonna catch the ball, run twenty yards,

532
00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:55,639
Speaker 1: jump over someone and then just bulldoze someone else, loses helmet,

533
00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:58,000
Speaker 1: los his helmet running. No, no no, no, I'm talking about

534
00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:00,520
Speaker 1: what Ferguson did. I got a fourth round pick out

535
00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:04,960
Speaker 1: of Scholtz. He's developed into a pretty good touchdown catcher,

536
00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:10,240
Speaker 1: and he can make no, no, no, not at all.

537
00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:13,720
Speaker 1: He can go, he can walk backwards or where where.

538
00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:15,679
Speaker 1: You know. I'm good with the tight ends you have

539
00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:18,760
Speaker 1: right now. And that's also another reason why him no,

540
00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:20,600
Speaker 1: not at all, because as a matter of fact, because

541
00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:23,199
Speaker 1: not only that, the reason why when you look at

542
00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:24,880
Speaker 1: even taking a tight end the first round, the reason

543
00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:27,679
Speaker 1: I was hesitant initially is so much because I'm like,

544
00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:29,600
Speaker 1: I believe in the two tight ends you got. I

545
00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:31,840
Speaker 1: think you have enough at tight end. So I look

546
00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:33,399
Speaker 1: at a lot of other positions where I'm like, man,

547
00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:35,440
Speaker 1: I need a lot more around on this team that

548
00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:38,320
Speaker 1: I need tight end. That's what I'm like. Literally, I'm

549
00:26:38,359 --> 00:26:41,320
Speaker 1: just sitting here listening to you guys, and tight end

550
00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:45,479
Speaker 1: is one of my least problems right now in my

551
00:26:45,520 --> 00:26:49,520
Speaker 1: mind of problems and positions of needs. Um, I do

552
00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:51,440
Speaker 1: get the point that tight end is a very very

553
00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:55,320
Speaker 1: important position, especially for a guy like Dak. Dak does

554
00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:59,119
Speaker 1: tend to rely and need the help and comfort of

555
00:26:59,160 --> 00:27:01,640
Speaker 1: a guy that can be there and secure in tight end.

556
00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:05,480
Speaker 1: But I think that what Ferguson and what Hendershot have

557
00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:08,800
Speaker 1: done this year or did last year, it impressed me

558
00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:12,280
Speaker 1: enough to believe that they are more than capable of

559
00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:17,320
Speaker 1: taking another step in this coming year. You do need

560
00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:22,159
Speaker 1: another guy to come in there. But I am sorry, Brian,

561
00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:25,760
Speaker 1: I am not looking to draft. I mean, that's the thing.

562
00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:28,200
Speaker 1: You don't know what the player is going to become

563
00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:31,000
Speaker 1: until they become that. You don't know if Jason Witten

564
00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:36,440
Speaker 1: was gonna be Jason Witten. So for this specific year,

565
00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:40,160
Speaker 1: I'm looking at it. I would rather draft a wide

566
00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:42,880
Speaker 1: receiver than a tight end right now. I can't wait

567
00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:47,560
Speaker 1: till episode one hundred and sixty five when Derek when

568
00:27:47,560 --> 00:27:50,119
Speaker 1: we launch into Derek about this tight end and you

569
00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:51,919
Speaker 1: feel you feel like the tight ends are getting the

570
00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:54,159
Speaker 1: best out of the tight ends, and Derek is going

571
00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:58,880
Speaker 1: to have amnesia about this thing. Honestly, again, I just

572
00:27:59,080 --> 00:28:02,080
Speaker 1: I don't feel like Ferguson is far off from being

573
00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:05,400
Speaker 1: able to provide what Schultz provides. Sure, So for me,

574
00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:08,439
Speaker 1: I'll take the chance that I think that he'll be fine.

575
00:28:08,520 --> 00:28:10,600
Speaker 1: Do you think we're gonna try to cut Ferguson after

576
00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:13,840
Speaker 1: the end of this training camp? No, because that's what

577
00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:16,320
Speaker 1: it was. Yeah, And by the way, let's let's be clear,

578
00:28:16,720 --> 00:28:19,240
Speaker 1: Schultz has been a good tight end from Cowboys. Oh yeah,

579
00:28:19,280 --> 00:28:22,000
Speaker 1: he's gotten let's not, let's not, let's not look over that.

580
00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:24,800
Speaker 1: And I think he's gonna get paid this offseason by somebody. Yeah.

581
00:28:24,840 --> 00:28:26,680
Speaker 1: I don't think the Cowboys in a position where they

582
00:28:26,680 --> 00:28:29,000
Speaker 1: have to pay him because they have alternatives. They got

583
00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:31,159
Speaker 1: other options. Yeah. Yeah, And you look at you know

584
00:28:31,280 --> 00:28:33,720
Speaker 1: those guys that you mentioned in the previous segment, like

585
00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:39,280
Speaker 1: Donovan Wilson, Layton vander esh Um, Tony Pollard and then

586
00:28:39,360 --> 00:28:43,280
Speaker 1: and then uh this guy, I meant Schultz, all of

587
00:28:43,320 --> 00:28:46,040
Speaker 1: the lost this guy. Yeah, he's already out. He's already

588
00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:48,400
Speaker 1: I'm looking into my world. Yeah. No, No, those four guys,

589
00:28:50,360 --> 00:28:53,520
Speaker 1: you trust me five hours a day, right, But he

590
00:28:54,280 --> 00:28:57,360
Speaker 1: they got better when when Scharltz got hurt, like like,

591
00:28:57,520 --> 00:28:59,600
Speaker 1: they won games. I mean, you know, Cooper Rushman and

592
00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:03,080
Speaker 1: they still Man, I'm just saying, but Tony poll is

593
00:29:03,120 --> 00:29:04,920
Speaker 1: the guy that I think when when he went down,

594
00:29:04,920 --> 00:29:07,680
Speaker 1: he saw a big difference. So that's why there's other

595
00:29:07,760 --> 00:29:09,880
Speaker 1: three they were able to win games. Let me ask

596
00:29:09,920 --> 00:29:11,920
Speaker 1: you this, would you feel Okay, I'm gonna I'm gonna

597
00:29:11,960 --> 00:29:14,160
Speaker 1: throw the Schultz thing out there again on the tag again,

598
00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:19,840
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna ask you this. No, No, I'm because

599
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:22,600
Speaker 1: I'm worried about the wide receiver Roote. I'm worried about

600
00:29:22,600 --> 00:29:24,880
Speaker 1: the wide receivers in this draft. I'm worried about the

601
00:29:24,880 --> 00:29:27,320
Speaker 1: wide receivers in this draft. This, this draft class is

602
00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:29,520
Speaker 1: not what we've seen from the last two or three years.

603
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:33,360
Speaker 1: So I mean we could all throw out. Let's draft

604
00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:37,080
Speaker 1: the wide receiver. Okay, it's a five ten kid from

605
00:29:37,160 --> 00:29:40,600
Speaker 1: North Carolina, you know, I mean, whoa, whoa? Whoa? What

606
00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:44,120
Speaker 1: did we just wait? Where's Chase? You know? Where's Jefferson?

607
00:29:44,280 --> 00:29:49,800
Speaker 1: Where's Lamb? To become free? Okay, I'm gonna ask you

608
00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:52,680
Speaker 1: this question. Not much Okay, get ready, get ready, get

609
00:29:52,720 --> 00:29:55,400
Speaker 1: ready to get Would you feel better? Would you feel better?

610
00:29:55,440 --> 00:29:57,240
Speaker 1: And let's do you think the owner would feel better

611
00:29:57,440 --> 00:30:03,440
Speaker 1: if they did tag Schultz and got Odell Beckham? No,

612
00:30:03,800 --> 00:30:05,320
Speaker 1: I don't do. Those two things have to be tied

613
00:30:05,360 --> 00:30:09,400
Speaker 1: together like I just tied together for you. I'm not.

614
00:30:09,560 --> 00:30:12,640
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna. I'm willing to say yes, I will

615
00:30:12,640 --> 00:30:15,560
Speaker 1: look at I want to look at somebody like like

616
00:30:15,560 --> 00:30:18,640
Speaker 1: like like Odell. Yeah. I don't. Still don't think the

617
00:30:18,760 --> 00:30:21,200
Speaker 1: right option is you have to bring back Sheltz. I

618
00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:24,400
Speaker 1: think you got tight end options now again, but she

619
00:30:24,520 --> 00:30:27,160
Speaker 1: just talked about Dak and like how he relies on

620
00:30:27,240 --> 00:30:29,960
Speaker 1: a tight ends, but he has Ferguson Ferguson Hendershot can

621
00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:31,520
Speaker 1: provide that for him. I don't think you. I don't

622
00:30:31,560 --> 00:30:33,240
Speaker 1: think you have to go out and get shelts in

623
00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:35,080
Speaker 1: order to get that. And by the way, this goes

624
00:30:35,120 --> 00:30:37,800
Speaker 1: back to the original point I was making. Because of

625
00:30:37,800 --> 00:30:40,240
Speaker 1: what I think about the wide receiver class of free agents,

626
00:30:40,480 --> 00:30:43,240
Speaker 1: because of what I've heard about the draft class of

627
00:30:43,240 --> 00:30:45,480
Speaker 1: wide receivers, if you can give me a tight end

628
00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:48,960
Speaker 1: who can create matchup problems, then you can do something

629
00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:51,280
Speaker 1: similar to how an offense can run when you have

630
00:30:51,360 --> 00:30:53,640
Speaker 1: those types of tight ends. Now you got that kind

631
00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:56,640
Speaker 1: of tight end with a CD Lamb, that's that can

632
00:30:56,720 --> 00:30:58,959
Speaker 1: really create some problems as opposed to having to have

633
00:30:59,040 --> 00:31:04,440
Speaker 1: two really great wide receivers. Right. I like it. Look,

634
00:31:04,480 --> 00:31:07,479
Speaker 1: Ryan's not buying it, but no, no, I'm buying it

635
00:31:07,520 --> 00:31:11,320
Speaker 1: just because I'm a I'm nervous about how this wide

636
00:31:11,320 --> 00:31:15,040
Speaker 1: receiver draft class is gonna shake. Because if Adam we'll

637
00:31:15,080 --> 00:31:17,160
Speaker 1: talk about on the Draft show it's after this show,

638
00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:21,760
Speaker 1: but we'll talk about it here a little bit. If Addison, Hyatt, Johnston, Smith,

639
00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:25,040
Speaker 1: and Jigbo all are gone. Now you're looking at You're

640
00:31:25,120 --> 00:31:28,520
Speaker 1: looking at a completely different group of wide receivers. So

641
00:31:28,560 --> 00:31:29,960
Speaker 1: would you take one of those guys in the first

642
00:31:30,040 --> 00:31:32,360
Speaker 1: round if they were if one falsey, which one like

643
00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:35,760
Speaker 1: you just mentioned? The three I have is Addison from USC,

644
00:31:36,320 --> 00:31:40,760
Speaker 1: Hyatt from Tennessee, and Johnston from TCU all all first

645
00:31:40,840 --> 00:31:43,440
Speaker 1: round guys, and then Smith and Jigbo from Ohio State

646
00:31:43,560 --> 00:31:45,120
Speaker 1: is on the top of the second round. Now if

647
00:31:45,120 --> 00:31:47,640
Speaker 1: I've only got twenty names in the first round, so

648
00:31:47,640 --> 00:31:49,760
Speaker 1: you would take him at twenty six? Maybe at twenty six,

649
00:31:49,800 --> 00:31:52,400
Speaker 1: I'm kind of yeah. I mean that's but don't feel

650
00:31:52,440 --> 00:31:55,760
Speaker 1: like that at twenty six that you know someone's gonna have.

651
00:31:55,960 --> 00:31:59,040
Speaker 1: I think make a mistake for you to get one

652
00:31:59,080 --> 00:32:01,240
Speaker 1: of those top guys. And I'm saying if you if

653
00:32:01,760 --> 00:32:05,520
Speaker 1: the names I just mentioned, they would be behind guys

654
00:32:05,600 --> 00:32:08,040
Speaker 1: that we've seen in this last draft. So even though

655
00:32:08,040 --> 00:32:11,040
Speaker 1: the first round, ye, so a g don't be going on.

656
00:32:11,520 --> 00:32:14,240
Speaker 1: My wide receiver group has got to get better. I

657
00:32:14,280 --> 00:32:16,160
Speaker 1: don't know if I can help you, my friend, I

658
00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:18,160
Speaker 1: don't know if I can help you right now? Where

659
00:32:18,200 --> 00:32:21,680
Speaker 1: you trade twenty six for for a receiver. You know

660
00:32:21,720 --> 00:32:27,440
Speaker 1: what this this owner digs just you're talking about I mean,

661
00:32:28,280 --> 00:32:29,880
Speaker 1: you know what I'm what I'm saying is are you

662
00:32:29,920 --> 00:32:32,360
Speaker 1: talking about going out and getting a premiere wide receiver

663
00:32:32,480 --> 00:32:35,120
Speaker 1: in the NFL? Like trade that if you can get

664
00:32:35,120 --> 00:32:37,600
Speaker 1: a premier wide receiver. Yeah, I'm not a name of

665
00:32:37,720 --> 00:32:39,720
Speaker 1: names I mean, but I mean, if he's related to

666
00:32:39,760 --> 00:32:41,680
Speaker 1: anybody on the team, there you go. See that's what

667
00:32:41,720 --> 00:32:44,880
Speaker 1: I'm saying. That's what I'm saying. If he is, I

668
00:32:45,120 --> 00:32:48,400
Speaker 1: see this guy, this owner has a history of Back's

669
00:32:48,440 --> 00:32:51,040
Speaker 1: brother plays in the league, but he doesn't. He tweets

670
00:32:51,040 --> 00:32:55,080
Speaker 1: a lot, but he does. What about's brother had a brother?

671
00:32:55,120 --> 00:32:57,440
Speaker 1: I don't know. Okay, go ahead. So but the thing

672
00:32:57,480 --> 00:32:59,920
Speaker 1: about it is, though, if you're looking at wide receiver,

673
00:33:00,640 --> 00:33:03,280
Speaker 1: that's not a bad that's not a bad thought. Because

674
00:33:03,320 --> 00:33:06,720
Speaker 1: the one thing this ownership has proven is they will

675
00:33:06,760 --> 00:33:09,800
Speaker 1: move draft capital for wide receivers, whether you like it

676
00:33:09,920 --> 00:33:15,040
Speaker 1: or not. Joey Galloway, Roy Williams, you know, Mary Cooper,

677
00:33:15,200 --> 00:33:17,600
Speaker 1: they will move draft capital. Go get wat Has that

678
00:33:17,680 --> 00:33:21,360
Speaker 1: worked it worked? I would say it worked. We'll see.

679
00:33:21,440 --> 00:33:23,280
Speaker 1: But I'm trying to What I'm trying to do is

680
00:33:23,320 --> 00:33:25,800
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get you an established wide receiver like a

681
00:33:25,840 --> 00:33:29,080
Speaker 1: guy like Diggs. Yeah, I said it. You know, I

682
00:33:29,160 --> 00:33:31,880
Speaker 1: don't you know, Dallas Cowboys dot Com. It's not their fault,

683
00:33:31,880 --> 00:33:33,840
Speaker 1: it's my fault. I'm not Look, the point at the

684
00:33:33,840 --> 00:33:35,920
Speaker 1: point is what you're saying is would you be willing

685
00:33:35,960 --> 00:33:38,840
Speaker 1: to take because of the lack of talent at or

686
00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:42,200
Speaker 1: perceived talent at in free agency at wide receiver the draft?

687
00:33:42,640 --> 00:33:44,280
Speaker 1: Would you be willing to go out and spend that

688
00:33:44,280 --> 00:33:47,000
Speaker 1: first round pick if you could get a high caliber

689
00:33:47,040 --> 00:33:50,200
Speaker 1: I'm talking top ten wide receiver in the NFL. They

690
00:33:50,280 --> 00:33:52,960
Speaker 1: talked about Mike Mike Evans. Mike Evans is a name.

691
00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:55,360
Speaker 1: It's being floated for a lot of people. It's being

692
00:33:55,400 --> 00:33:57,440
Speaker 1: floated like, oh, you could go get Mike Evans. He's

693
00:33:57,480 --> 00:34:00,480
Speaker 1: had one year on a twenty three million dollars contract,

694
00:34:00,520 --> 00:34:03,640
Speaker 1: got one year left on a twenty three million dollar contract.

695
00:34:03,720 --> 00:34:05,440
Speaker 1: Look at the end of the day, a draft pick

696
00:34:05,480 --> 00:34:08,480
Speaker 1: are we talking there for a guy like that? Would

697
00:34:08,560 --> 00:34:10,800
Speaker 1: see That's what I'm saying. If somebody, somebody with somebody

698
00:34:10,840 --> 00:34:13,719
Speaker 1: holds that's what I'm saying, you wouldn't give you know,

699
00:34:13,920 --> 00:34:16,120
Speaker 1: you know, if you're picking in the top ten, you

700
00:34:16,320 --> 00:34:19,359
Speaker 1: surely wouldn't do this. But if you're if you're, if

701
00:34:19,400 --> 00:34:23,920
Speaker 1: you're that focused on we've got to have a wide receiver. Now,

702
00:34:24,600 --> 00:34:28,080
Speaker 1: that might be your best route that guy, I don't know.

703
00:34:28,120 --> 00:34:30,279
Speaker 1: We talked about other players, but I don't know. I

704
00:34:30,280 --> 00:34:34,200
Speaker 1: don't know. I don't know Jen Tolber, who is still

705
00:34:34,280 --> 00:34:38,680
Speaker 1: under development. Yeah, and maybe that's a scary thing. That's

706
00:34:38,760 --> 00:34:41,840
Speaker 1: the scary thing when you start talking about wide receivers.

707
00:34:41,880 --> 00:34:43,920
Speaker 1: Some of these cats. I mean, you you end up

708
00:34:43,960 --> 00:34:47,359
Speaker 1: drafting like you know, some of these teams, I mean

709
00:34:47,400 --> 00:34:50,760
Speaker 1: they rager goes and you know, you just get lucky

710
00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:53,719
Speaker 1: with some of these receivers and where they fall. Yeah,

711
00:34:53,760 --> 00:34:56,760
Speaker 1: I just I think that right now, the most glaring

712
00:34:57,120 --> 00:34:59,560
Speaker 1: problem for this team. Need for this team is they

713
00:34:59,560 --> 00:35:01,799
Speaker 1: gotta get more playmakers, because I agree with you, Nick,

714
00:35:01,880 --> 00:35:04,400
Speaker 1: when Polite went out of that game, it to me

715
00:35:04,520 --> 00:35:07,840
Speaker 1: it felt like your your opportunity to make big plays

716
00:35:07,880 --> 00:35:11,080
Speaker 1: and certainly just to scare the opposing defense was gone

717
00:35:11,080 --> 00:35:13,000
Speaker 1: other than CD. And if you've got only one guy

718
00:35:13,040 --> 00:35:15,480
Speaker 1: that scares a defense, they're gonna take him away. And

719
00:35:15,520 --> 00:35:17,680
Speaker 1: so they need more juice on the offensive side of

720
00:35:17,719 --> 00:35:20,080
Speaker 1: the ball. So I'm I'm drafting a back at some point,

721
00:35:20,400 --> 00:35:23,480
Speaker 1: and I'm looking for whether it's free agency, whether it's

722
00:35:23,480 --> 00:35:26,839
Speaker 1: a trade, whatever it is. I'm looking for another playmaking

723
00:35:26,880 --> 00:35:29,840
Speaker 1: type offensive player where the offense tighten something. You know,

724
00:35:29,920 --> 00:35:32,160
Speaker 1: I'm out on the first round or any round. Really

725
00:35:32,239 --> 00:35:35,879
Speaker 1: trade trading for veteran receiver. I can't do that. Come on, man,

726
00:35:35,920 --> 00:35:37,480
Speaker 1: you've done it twenty years of your life. I know,

727
00:35:37,560 --> 00:35:39,560
Speaker 1: I know, but but but you've got to pay CD.

728
00:35:39,680 --> 00:35:41,560
Speaker 1: CD is gonna be on your team. You gotta pay CD.

729
00:35:41,560 --> 00:35:43,759
Speaker 1: You've already paid Michael Gallup, and you're gonna say, hey,

730
00:35:43,920 --> 00:35:46,600
Speaker 1: guy gave us, you gave us the parachute. Pull on

731
00:35:46,719 --> 00:35:49,160
Speaker 1: on Gallop. If we had to, right, you can, you can,

732
00:35:49,239 --> 00:35:51,120
Speaker 1: But I don't think I would do that. I think

733
00:35:51,160 --> 00:35:53,799
Speaker 1: I would actually do the whole move him out for

734
00:35:54,040 --> 00:35:55,960
Speaker 1: four or more year after this year, spread it out.

735
00:35:56,440 --> 00:35:59,160
Speaker 1: He's gone, Oh, you're saying, you're saying your restructure, your restructure,

736
00:35:59,520 --> 00:36:01,640
Speaker 1: and just out, Hey, she's not too happy with you, right,

737
00:36:01,680 --> 00:36:05,160
Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm gotta look at her Gallup fifth year.

738
00:36:05,239 --> 00:36:08,080
Speaker 1: I know you got a different opinion. Gallup is the

739
00:36:08,120 --> 00:36:10,799
Speaker 1: guy that you will you can change your opinion about him,

740
00:36:10,800 --> 00:36:13,200
Speaker 1: fourteen times during the season. Yeah, like like he's like,

741
00:36:13,280 --> 00:36:15,839
Speaker 1: oh see, he does make those catches. He's a good player.

742
00:36:15,880 --> 00:36:17,960
Speaker 1: And then other times you're like, did he play yet? Right, Yeah,

743
00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:20,600
Speaker 1: he played twenty six. They're taking a corner and I'm

744
00:36:20,600 --> 00:36:22,720
Speaker 1: fine with that. Get ready for that. I'm not against

745
00:36:22,760 --> 00:36:24,879
Speaker 1: that at all, not against that. I mean, you said

746
00:36:24,880 --> 00:36:26,560
Speaker 1: tied in. I was like, well, if he's like those two,

747
00:36:26,600 --> 00:36:28,440
Speaker 1: I can see it. Receiver, I can see it. Running back,

748
00:36:28,440 --> 00:36:30,280
Speaker 1: I can see it. Is he a big nasty guard

749
00:36:30,320 --> 00:36:32,439
Speaker 1: that can come right in and plug. That's a That's

750
00:36:32,440 --> 00:36:34,560
Speaker 1: another thing from that guy. There's there's a lot of

751
00:36:34,560 --> 00:36:36,600
Speaker 1: position when you start really breaking it down, like the

752
00:36:36,680 --> 00:36:39,239
Speaker 1: linebacker they're gonna need. They got needs at linebacker right now,

753
00:36:39,280 --> 00:36:40,879
Speaker 1: I think, all right, let's take our final break. When

754
00:36:40,880 --> 00:36:43,040
Speaker 1: we come back, we will we will talk about the

755
00:36:43,040 --> 00:36:44,840
Speaker 1: wide receiver position, and we've talked about it a little bit.

756
00:36:44,880 --> 00:36:46,279

00:40:37,480 --> 00:40:39,279
Speaker 1: We'll go see if you have a chance. Yeah, And

832
00:40:39,320 --> 00:40:41,000

00:40:44,400 --> 00:40:50,120

836
00:40:50,600 --> 00:40:53,480
Speaker 1: that's September. You're gonna have to take on seven more

837
00:40:53,560 --> 00:40:55,520
Speaker 1: jobs like I have. Yeah, I kind of a deal.

838
00:40:55,560 --> 00:41:00,080
Speaker 1: I don't want to do it. Talk about these wide receivers'

839
00:41:00,080 --> 00:41:02,480
Speaker 1: talk about these bid receivers. The biggest question Cowboys have

840
00:41:02,520 --> 00:41:04,879
Speaker 1: to answer at wide receiver. We got three minutes Nick

841
00:41:05,040 --> 00:41:08,400
Speaker 1: Michael Gallop. Can Michael Gallab be the guy you know

842
00:41:08,480 --> 00:41:11,719
Speaker 1: Ken Kenny or the number two guy opposite of Ceedee Lamb?

843
00:41:11,800 --> 00:41:13,600
Speaker 1: You can't. You look at the Tampa game that they

844
00:41:13,680 --> 00:41:18,560
Speaker 1: lost Week one. I mean the receivers there were Dennis Houston,

845
00:41:18,640 --> 00:41:21,879
Speaker 1: Noah Brown and CD and the Buccaneers won that game

846
00:41:21,920 --> 00:41:25,279
Speaker 1: because they neutralized CD and no one else could hurt him.

847
00:41:25,440 --> 00:41:27,920
Speaker 1: They Michael Gallop has got to figure out. They got

848
00:41:27,920 --> 00:41:29,920
Speaker 1: to figure out ways to get him to be a

849
00:41:29,920 --> 00:41:34,560
Speaker 1: really good number two receiver. What's up with Jalen Tilbert? Yeah,

850
00:41:34,560 --> 00:41:36,479
Speaker 1: I gotta figure that one out. A good question. What's

851
00:41:36,560 --> 00:41:39,920
Speaker 1: up with Jalen Tilbert? They told us that, you know,

852
00:41:40,000 --> 00:41:42,280
Speaker 1: Stephen Jones came on you know it's come on various

853
00:41:42,280 --> 00:41:44,520
Speaker 1: platforms and said, you know, maybe we gave him a

854
00:41:44,520 --> 00:41:46,960
Speaker 1: little bit too much. Mike McCarthy kind of said the

855
00:41:46,960 --> 00:41:49,040
Speaker 1: same thing. Where where are we at with Jalen Tilburg?

856
00:41:49,480 --> 00:41:52,560
Speaker 1: That's gonna be if you want to talk about with

857
00:41:52,760 --> 00:41:55,360
Speaker 1: can you get Lamb's contract done? Which you know that

858
00:41:55,400 --> 00:41:58,400
Speaker 1: they're gonna go full steam ahead on that one. The

859
00:41:58,480 --> 00:42:02,480
Speaker 1: Gallop stuff. To me, the big question is is Tolbert

860
00:42:02,480 --> 00:42:04,360
Speaker 1: a guy that you're going to be able to rely on?

861
00:42:04,840 --> 00:42:08,200
Speaker 1: And how do they and now do you worry about

862
00:42:08,239 --> 00:42:11,160
Speaker 1: with a new play caller, do you worry about him

863
00:42:11,160 --> 00:42:15,560
Speaker 1: having to learn something completely different? We'll see true? To me,

864
00:42:15,600 --> 00:42:18,680
Speaker 1: it just feels like there wasn't really much progress made

865
00:42:18,760 --> 00:42:21,640
Speaker 1: from a year ago when we were at training camp

866
00:42:21,719 --> 00:42:24,200
Speaker 1: trying to figure out what's happening with wide receiver right now?

867
00:42:24,280 --> 00:42:26,560
Speaker 1: The only guy that you feel that you can now

868
00:42:27,440 --> 00:42:30,120
Speaker 1: rely on a City Lamb and kind of what And

869
00:42:30,160 --> 00:42:32,719
Speaker 1: it took him a little second there to get going,

870
00:42:32,960 --> 00:42:36,080
Speaker 1: but he did it and he showed a huge step

871
00:42:36,120 --> 00:42:39,200
Speaker 1: in his game, I thought. But other than that, everybody

872
00:42:39,200 --> 00:42:41,800
Speaker 1: else you want to mention, We talked about Michael Gallup

873
00:42:41,920 --> 00:42:45,000
Speaker 1: like he's a guy that, based on why we saw

874
00:42:45,080 --> 00:42:47,719
Speaker 1: this past season, that's not a guy that I'm like

875
00:42:48,640 --> 00:42:51,920
Speaker 1: thinking I can rely on or consider a threat or

876
00:42:51,960 --> 00:42:55,560
Speaker 1: a weapon currently. He's made certain really great plays, but

877
00:42:56,239 --> 00:43:00,640
Speaker 1: there's nobody else and here I just I just hope

878
00:43:00,640 --> 00:43:03,960
Speaker 1: we're not at training camp figuring out or having the

879
00:43:04,040 --> 00:43:06,920
Speaker 1: same similar conversation that we were having a year ago.

880
00:43:06,960 --> 00:43:09,160
Speaker 1: But I'm gonna disagree with you on that, just because

881
00:43:09,560 --> 00:43:13,440
Speaker 1: Ceedee Lamb was that big question Mark two, like is

882
00:43:13,480 --> 00:43:15,279
Speaker 1: can he be the number one? I mean that was

883
00:43:15,320 --> 00:43:17,479
Speaker 1: one of our twenty questions. I was like number four,

884
00:43:17,520 --> 00:43:19,440
Speaker 1: like can Ceedee Lamb be the number one? And I

885
00:43:19,480 --> 00:43:22,640
Speaker 1: think that has been answered, which that helps. Now. Yeah,

886
00:43:23,000 --> 00:43:25,120
Speaker 1: I took him a little second, he got there, and

887
00:43:25,160 --> 00:43:27,120
Speaker 1: I don't think it's like he's the only guy. No,

888
00:43:27,160 --> 00:43:29,120
Speaker 1: I'm worried about the number two receiver. He's worried about

889
00:43:29,200 --> 00:43:32,560
Speaker 1: number three receiver and all that stuff. So I mean,

890
00:43:32,680 --> 00:43:35,880
Speaker 1: you're right. See there's still gonna be questions at receiver,

891
00:43:36,000 --> 00:43:38,080
Speaker 1: but I do think they're in a little better situation

892
00:43:38,160 --> 00:43:41,120
Speaker 1: because you know that CD has proven he could be

893
00:43:41,160 --> 00:43:43,080
Speaker 1: the guy. Well, the question also could be too if

894
00:43:43,080 --> 00:43:45,960
Speaker 1: some of they draft, could they be better than Gallop

895
00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:49,080
Speaker 1: and Talbert? You know, depending on where Yeah right away?

896
00:43:49,200 --> 00:43:51,719
Speaker 1: Did they come in and fit or do you have

897
00:43:51,800 --> 00:43:54,080
Speaker 1: another year like you had with Tilbert. I don't think

898
00:43:54,080 --> 00:43:56,319
Speaker 1: you can afford that. No, you gotta be honest with you.

899
00:43:56,560 --> 00:43:59,160
Speaker 1: I could very easily see a scenario, and I know

900
00:43:59,200 --> 00:44:01,960
Speaker 1: what everybody here doesn't see it, but I could see

901
00:44:01,960 --> 00:44:04,160
Speaker 1: a scenario where you're going to training camp and you

902
00:44:04,239 --> 00:44:07,120
Speaker 1: have a very similar wide receiver room is what you

903
00:44:07,200 --> 00:44:11,400
Speaker 1: had last year. Because things just don't pan out for

904
00:44:11,440 --> 00:44:13,799
Speaker 1: you in the draft. Things you just don't pan out

905
00:44:13,840 --> 00:44:16,920
Speaker 1: for you in free agency. There's just not the there's

906
00:44:16,960 --> 00:44:19,239
Speaker 1: not the level of opportunity out there to be able

907
00:44:19,280 --> 00:44:21,600
Speaker 1: to add an impact player. You might get a guy

908
00:44:22,000 --> 00:44:25,440
Speaker 1: that's equivalent to a you know, to a Gallop, or

909
00:44:25,440 --> 00:44:28,040
Speaker 1: a guy that's equivalent to a Noah Brown. I don't

910
00:44:28,080 --> 00:44:29,680
Speaker 1: know that we're gonna go to camp. I think it's

911
00:44:29,680 --> 00:44:31,960
Speaker 1: a real possibility you could go to camp and still

912
00:44:32,040 --> 00:44:35,640
Speaker 1: have this type this type of wide receiver room. The

913
00:44:35,719 --> 00:44:38,120
Speaker 1: numbers will well, obviously you'll get back up because you're

914
00:44:38,120 --> 00:44:40,360
Speaker 1: probably gonna lose no Brown. I would guess. I don't know,

915
00:44:40,400 --> 00:44:42,600
Speaker 1: he might be back. But the point is I could

916
00:44:42,600 --> 00:44:46,640
Speaker 1: see a scenario where, because of limited options, you go

917
00:44:46,680 --> 00:44:48,680
Speaker 1: back and you run it back with what you got.

918
00:44:50,160 --> 00:44:52,080
Speaker 1: I know, and I don't know that anybody wants that,

919
00:44:52,200 --> 00:44:54,160
Speaker 1: but I think that might be where you are. This

920
00:44:54,200 --> 00:44:55,960
Speaker 1: is not like Brian was saying. This doesn't sound like

921
00:44:56,040 --> 00:44:58,319
Speaker 1: it's a draft where you're gonna be in the second round.

922
00:44:58,400 --> 00:45:00,520
Speaker 1: You still got plenty of wide receiver. You're gonna be

923
00:45:00,520 --> 00:45:02,600
Speaker 1: in the third round. You've got plenty of wide receiver options.

924
00:45:02,760 --> 00:45:04,560
Speaker 1: Doesn't seem like it's that kind of draft. You look

925
00:45:04,560 --> 00:45:07,120
Speaker 1: at the free agency list. I know Patrick Walker did

926
00:45:07,239 --> 00:45:08,759
Speaker 1: an article where he was kind of laying out some

927
00:45:08,800 --> 00:45:10,760
Speaker 1: of the free agency and free agency and wide receiver

928
00:45:10,800 --> 00:45:12,320
Speaker 1: and I looked at that list and thought, is that

929
00:45:12,440 --> 00:45:15,759
Speaker 1: it like it wasn't anything that excites you. These are

930
00:45:15,760 --> 00:45:17,520
Speaker 1: the kind of guys that are equivalent, in my opinion,

931
00:45:17,520 --> 00:45:20,200
Speaker 1: to Gallop And so, yeah, you could go get one

932
00:45:20,200 --> 00:45:22,320
Speaker 1: of those guys, but I don't know that you're appreciably better.

933
00:45:22,560 --> 00:45:25,120
Speaker 1: And that's the point. You want somebody that's better. The

934
00:45:25,160 --> 00:45:27,400
Speaker 1: only person that really right now is on the horizon

935
00:45:27,440 --> 00:45:29,799
Speaker 1: that looks like he might be better. Could be a

936
00:45:29,960 --> 00:45:34,480
Speaker 1: healthy Odell Beckham junior. That's it in my opinion. Guys

937
00:45:34,520 --> 00:45:36,279
Speaker 1: on the street, on the street, and you've done all

938
00:45:36,280 --> 00:45:37,600
Speaker 1: the guys that you project will be free agent, and

939
00:45:37,600 --> 00:45:39,600
Speaker 1: you've done a lot of legwork on that one. Yeah,

940
00:45:39,680 --> 00:45:42,520
Speaker 1: you've done a lot of leg where that's not flying blind.

941
00:45:42,960 --> 00:45:45,239
Speaker 1: You know what it's probably gonna take there. All right,

942
00:45:45,239 --> 00:45:47,399
Speaker 1: we appreciate you, guys. Jan Us we'll be back next week.

943
00:45:47,400 --> 00:45:49,480
Speaker 1: We'll get a little deeper into this look. It looks

944
00:45:49,480 --> 00:45:51,080
Speaker 1: at like at this point we might finish it right

945
00:45:51,120 --> 00:45:53,279
Speaker 1: before training camp. We'll see how that goes till then.

946
00:45:53,280 --> 00:45:54,960
Speaker 1: For Nick, even Brian brought us a regard to see.

947
00:45:55,000 --> 00:45:56,520
