00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:20,240
Speaker 1: but I am not um But I usia not the

20
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:22,959
Speaker 1: only one making changes, obviously, the Cowboys have been hard

21
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:27,640
Speaker 1: at work. Beautiful, would you like that we're gonna start

22
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:33,640
Speaker 1: doing I loved, Oh my goodness, smooth, smooth. It has

23
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:37,520
Speaker 1: been such a busy couple of weeks for this organization,

24
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:40,320
Speaker 1: for this front office. One of the things we talked

25
00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:42,240
Speaker 1: about Aisha when we were at the combine and when

26
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:46,920
Speaker 1: we spoke with Charine, she said that this season and

27
00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:49,280
Speaker 1: the would be kind of defined by what they do

28
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:52,080
Speaker 1: in free agency. And I have not forgot that since

29
00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:53,920
Speaker 1: she mentioned that, because I was like, you're right, you know,

30
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:56,400
Speaker 1: we've done a lot, you know, in years past, but

31
00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:58,920
Speaker 1: it's the free agency. I think that's really kind of

32
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:01,560
Speaker 1: been the hang up. And we went from kind of

33
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:05,720
Speaker 1: tapping on our watch like that Judge, Judy, Jeff too.

34
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:08,480
Speaker 1: Now it's like we're all over the place with signing,

35
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:11,120
Speaker 1: so a lot has changed. We're going to talk offense

36
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:15,760
Speaker 1: first and then we'll segue into defense. Obviously, though the

37
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:19,000
Speaker 1: with Ezekiel Elliott leaving last week, that left space for

38
00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:21,359
Speaker 1: a new running back to come in. We had a

39
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:24,440
Speaker 1: little bit of a surprise yesterday with Ronald Jones signing.

40
00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:26,680
Speaker 1: He wanted to be the one that broke the story actually,

41
00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:28,520
Speaker 1: but I think he took a little bit too long

42
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:32,359
Speaker 1: to get it on social But nonetheless, Ronald Jones running

43
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:35,919
Speaker 1: back who has spent time at usc or Let's where

44
00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:38,320
Speaker 1: he went to college, but he spent time with the Bucks,

45
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:40,680
Speaker 1: and he was just recently with the Kansas City Chiefs

46
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:42,920
Speaker 1: on a one year deal. He now joins the Cowboys

47
00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:48,040
Speaker 1: and teams up with Tony Pollard. What kind of signing

48
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:50,680
Speaker 1: does this do for the Cowboys running back room? So

49
00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:53,680
Speaker 1: for me, it's kind of to me with what he

50
00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:56,240
Speaker 1: brings and how he plays the game. He has some

51
00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:58,880
Speaker 1: verse has he mentioned in his interview with you, just

52
00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:01,320
Speaker 1: the change of and just speed and being able he

53
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:03,200
Speaker 1: has I say, he has a quick turnover, so his

54
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:05,519
Speaker 1: legs move fast, but he has a little bit of

55
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:09,200
Speaker 1: power to him. I think this also keeps that running

56
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:12,320
Speaker 1: back room. Honest. One thing we've seen about the McCarthy

57
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:15,360
Speaker 1: regime is that they're big on competition. So when you

58
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:19,000
Speaker 1: start looking at training camp and preseason games and guys

59
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 1: like that, like you want you want to have bodies

60
00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:23,320
Speaker 1: in that room. But also too, with the loss of

61
00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:26,600
Speaker 1: Ezekie Elliott, you bring another guy that's a little bit

62
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:30,040
Speaker 1: has that physical element to him a little bit. I also,

63
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:33,160
Speaker 1: I don't know, just I can't believe that Ronald Jones

64
00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:35,280
Speaker 1: is like I feel like he's he's been real quiet

65
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:36,840
Speaker 1: from him. Like I was, just I was sitting there,

66
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:39,480
Speaker 1: was like, he said another championship. Well he said, bring

67
00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:40,960
Speaker 1: a chip to dazzle. Was like, oh, for good, he's

68
00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:44,480
Speaker 1: a gyman. Yeah, And to be fair, I also I

69
00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:47,800
Speaker 1: didn't forget, but I did forget in that moment. Yeah,

70
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:50,280
Speaker 1: he has two super Bowl championships, and that's such an

71
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:53,160
Speaker 1: important aspect when you think about bringing in guys. You know,

72
00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:55,000
Speaker 1: we talked about the veteran leadership that a lot of

73
00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:57,960
Speaker 1: these as you know, experienced guys bring, But what you

74
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:00,800
Speaker 1: don't think about is having a champion and ship mentality.

75
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:02,800
Speaker 1: And so now you've got a two time super Bowl

76
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:05,160
Speaker 1: champ in Jones, You've got a Super Bowl champ and

77
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:07,880
Speaker 1: former Defensive Player of the Year in Stefan Gilmour, and

78
00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:09,600
Speaker 1: now you're bringing in a Brandon Cooks who will get

79
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:10,840
Speaker 1: to in a minute. But I love that you point

80
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:13,040
Speaker 1: that out because that is such an important aspect that

81
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:16,120
Speaker 1: I think free agency in the past for this team

82
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 1: has really lacked. Yeah, he's and also to what he's

83
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 1: gonna do. Is gonna allow Tony to get some some breaks,

84
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:24,680
Speaker 1: like you know, just to to like a relief pitcher.

85
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:26,560
Speaker 1: Is that as you know, I don't really do the

86
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:32,239
Speaker 1: baseball like that, but light Yeah, and a relief pitcher

87
00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:35,160
Speaker 1: what it is? Yeah, So he's he to me, he's

88
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:38,040
Speaker 1: come in like sixth seventh inning, depending on how well

89
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:40,200
Speaker 1: the starter's pitching. Yeah, I mean he'll come in, he'll

90
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:42,160
Speaker 1: play some downs, he'll take some of the stress off

91
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:46,680
Speaker 1: of Tony Pollard. And also too, more importantly, as we'll discuss,

92
00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:50,240
Speaker 1: this allows the Cowboys. Cowboys to not be pigeon held at.

93
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:52,480
Speaker 1: We got a draft a receiver super I mean, a

94
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:55,120
Speaker 1: running back super early. It's a lot in this draft,

95
00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:57,880
Speaker 1: and I think more than anything, it intacts that one

96
00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:01,160
Speaker 1: two punch to continue to a threat for the Cowboys

97
00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:04,159
Speaker 1: offense because we saw the success that it had last season.

98
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:06,920
Speaker 1: When you're not wearing down your running back's body by

99
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:09,920
Speaker 1: putting all of the snaps in his hands, and so

100
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:13,599
Speaker 1: when you can protect the longevity of a player's health

101
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:18,400
Speaker 1: and really ensure that Tony Pollard stays healthy, Rojo's going

102
00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:20,520
Speaker 1: to stay healthy. Rico Doubtle, maybe we have a one

103
00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:23,560
Speaker 1: two three punch. You could see that too. I mean,

104
00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:26,320
Speaker 1: you even have Malik Davis still in the mix. So

105
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:28,920
Speaker 1: as far as the competition, it's it's going to light

106
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:32,320
Speaker 1: a little fire there to see who wants that one

107
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:35,320
Speaker 1: two punch starting position. Yeah, and you think about too,

108
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:37,480
Speaker 1: even the layers that go into the draft and what

109
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:39,360
Speaker 1: you're going to bring into We've talked so many times

110
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:42,600
Speaker 1: about the talent that this draft class really has from

111
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:45,960
Speaker 1: the running back position. So it'll definitely be easy or

112
00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:48,359
Speaker 1: it'll definitely be fun to see kind of how that

113
00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:51,520
Speaker 1: running back room kind of sets up. What I think

114
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:53,920
Speaker 1: is interesting about this is, you know, we kind of

115
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:55,800
Speaker 1: knew going in that Tony Pollard was going to be

116
00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:58,480
Speaker 1: the starter this year, But to me, it makes me

117
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:02,719
Speaker 1: feel like this is going to be Tony Pollard's season,

118
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:05,240
Speaker 1: if that makes sense. You know, like we've seen what

119
00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:08,120
Speaker 1: he's done on the field. He's not incredibly vocal, which

120
00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:10,840
Speaker 1: is fine because some of the best leaders aren't always vocal.

121
00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:14,120
Speaker 1: But I really think that this gives him an opportunity

122
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:17,120
Speaker 1: to really kind of step up to take over the

123
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:20,600
Speaker 1: rains that Zeke left behind. And now you're factoring in

124
00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:23,640
Speaker 1: another guy who again has that super Bowl experience, has

125
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:27,279
Speaker 1: a good personality, and when I was talking to or

126
00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:30,159
Speaker 1: talking to Ronald's mom and uncle off to the side

127
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:32,200
Speaker 1: while he was doing some stuff with our social media team,

128
00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:34,479
Speaker 1: one of the things that his uncle pointed out was

129
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:37,520
Speaker 1: this is a really unique opportunity for him because not

130
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:39,760
Speaker 1: only is he back home, he graduated from McKinney North

131
00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:41,680
Speaker 1: High School and spent most of his time growing up

132
00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:43,800
Speaker 1: here in the Dallas area. So you have a guy

133
00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:46,240
Speaker 1: who already has a fan base, so to speak. He's

134
00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:48,720
Speaker 1: relatable because he's from here. He's kind of gone up

135
00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:52,640
Speaker 1: and down through the NFL roller coaster if he will,

136
00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:55,640
Speaker 1: and he's going to have an immediate impact, you know

137
00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:57,800
Speaker 1: what I mean. Like, and it's difficult because a lot

138
00:06:57,839 --> 00:06:59,880
Speaker 1: of times when you bring these guys in, you know,

139
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:03,040
Speaker 1: even from a draft standpoint, you don't know what their

140
00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:04,960
Speaker 1: impact is going to be. You're kind of banking on

141
00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:08,280
Speaker 1: them having training camp to give them that opportunity to

142
00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:10,200
Speaker 1: show what they can do. I think with the free

143
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:14,239
Speaker 1: agency signings this year, because of who's left, it really

144
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:16,440
Speaker 1: gives these players an opportunity to come in and make

145
00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:18,680
Speaker 1: a big impact and also kind of carve out a

146
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:20,880
Speaker 1: name for themselves too, And that's kind of the vibe

147
00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:23,559
Speaker 1: that I got from Ronald yesterday. Yeah, And I loved

148
00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:25,680
Speaker 1: that we would use that analogy of the thunder and

149
00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:28,120
Speaker 1: the lightning with Zeke and Tony because you look at

150
00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:30,679
Speaker 1: Tony being a silent leader that's more like lightning because

151
00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:32,360
Speaker 1: that doesn't make any noise, and then you have the

152
00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:34,560
Speaker 1: thunder with Zeke, who was a more vocal leader in

153
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:37,120
Speaker 1: the locker room. So I think you need to keep

154
00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:39,360
Speaker 1: that balance because it's very important to be able to

155
00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:42,480
Speaker 1: keep that leadership and that balance and somebody like Rojoe,

156
00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:47,400
Speaker 1: I mean that statute of winning a championship and multiple

157
00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:49,920
Speaker 1: with that, that is going to hold value and power

158
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:52,920
Speaker 1: within that locker room because those guys in there, they're hungry.

159
00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:55,600
Speaker 1: They wanted every single guy in that locker room wants

160
00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:58,880
Speaker 1: to end the drought in Dallas. And so I think

161
00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:02,080
Speaker 1: that's important. And I'm excited to see Tony Pollard step

162
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:04,120
Speaker 1: up into this new role and not so much be

163
00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:06,800
Speaker 1: in Zeke's shadow, not that he was, but you know

164
00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:08,320
Speaker 1: when he was on his up and up, it was

165
00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:11,400
Speaker 1: it was mostly oh Tony Pollard's coming, Oh oh what

166
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:13,520
Speaker 1: is this we're seeing? And people were kind of questioning,

167
00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:16,200
Speaker 1: you know, how much of a role he would have,

168
00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:18,640
Speaker 1: and then the last couple of seasons you saw him

169
00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:21,360
Speaker 1: really step into that. And so I'm excited to see

170
00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:25,560
Speaker 1: him really take over that running back position, not with Zeke.

171
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:28,720
Speaker 1: And it's still, yes, we know it's emotional not to

172
00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:31,320
Speaker 1: have Zeke, but I'm excited for the opportunity that it

173
00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:33,760
Speaker 1: presents Tony Pollard and to be that leader and to

174
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:37,040
Speaker 1: take on that role. And so let's get it. Yeah,

175
00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:39,760
Speaker 1: let's get it we asked for, Like for Tony Pollard

176
00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:43,559
Speaker 1: in particular, watching him come out of college, he ran

177
00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:46,080
Speaker 1: behind like a lot of guys. I think he was

178
00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:48,600
Speaker 1: like the third running back in Memphis and is as

179
00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:52,040
Speaker 1: talented as he was. And so this will be, if

180
00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:55,320
Speaker 1: I'm not mistaken, this is his opportunity to be a starter.

181
00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:56,720
Speaker 1: This is I think this will be one of his

182
00:08:56,760 --> 00:09:00,520
Speaker 1: first times being a starter in his outer part of

183
00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:03,679
Speaker 1: his career. So just getting to see him in his capacity.

184
00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:06,959
Speaker 1: Cowboys fans have been asking see him on the field more.

185
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:08,600
Speaker 1: I want to see him on the field more snaps

186
00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:12,720
Speaker 1: say hey, hey, listen, it's about to happen. He about

187
00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:18,440
Speaker 1: to get what you had. Congratulations, So yeah, I'm also very,

188
00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:22,120
Speaker 1: very excited for Tony Pollard to show that he can

189
00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:24,839
Speaker 1: be every down back, that he is capable. I think

190
00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:27,200
Speaker 1: he's gotten labeled as like this scat back, but he

191
00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:30,120
Speaker 1: showed plenty of time last season. He's not afraid to

192
00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:32,320
Speaker 1: dip his shoulder, He's not afraid to be physical if

193
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:34,320
Speaker 1: he needs to be, and that he can take someone.

194
00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:37,400
Speaker 1: He can take some work. And you saw the impact

195
00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:40,240
Speaker 1: of not having Tony Pollard in the San Francisco game.

196
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:43,320
Speaker 1: So and Jerry even said at the combine, he said,

197
00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:46,320
Speaker 1: you know, not that one player makes you know that

198
00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:49,000
Speaker 1: much of a difference, and they shouldn't. Everybody should be

199
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:51,520
Speaker 1: able to step up and shouldn't see a drop off essentially.

200
00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:54,480
Speaker 1: But you know, we all saw what happened in that

201
00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:57,240
Speaker 1: second quarter after he was out, and it feels like

202
00:09:57,400 --> 00:10:01,240
Speaker 1: he's he became. I think it was solidified. He was

203
00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:03,959
Speaker 1: the heart of your offense when it comes to keeping

204
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:08,280
Speaker 1: everything together and keeping the scheme and the game plan raveled,

205
00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:11,959
Speaker 1: if you will. Malie Davis is still here, yes, yes, okay, yeah, yeah,

206
00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:18,160
Speaker 1: you got yeah. Universatility. I'm I'm not so much worried

207
00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:19,840
Speaker 1: about the run game, and I think too when you

208
00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:22,439
Speaker 1: factor in you know, a new OC who has experienced

209
00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:24,600
Speaker 1: being here, he's seen what Kelyn was able to do

210
00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:26,640
Speaker 1: or not do without run game. And then you've got

211
00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:29,120
Speaker 1: a Mike McCarthy who's committed to using the run more often.

212
00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:31,240
Speaker 1: I think this, like I said, this fares very well

213
00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:34,160
Speaker 1: not only for Tony but for Ronald as well. And

214
00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:36,640
Speaker 1: then you add in the wide receiver that we have

215
00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:40,000
Speaker 1: been quietly talking about and not so talking about for

216
00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:43,880
Speaker 1: the last couple of months now, Brandon Cooks finally a

217
00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:46,720
Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboy. And I loved when um Nick Eatman did

218
00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:50,240
Speaker 1: the did the email, did the interview with him last week.

219
00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:59,040
Speaker 1: He literally said, men, yeah, weird. But anyways, when he

220
00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:00,679
Speaker 1: did the interview with Brandon and he said, you know,

221
00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:04,240
Speaker 1: like this is kind of something that has maybe been

222
00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:06,160
Speaker 1: in the works, you know, kind of just teasing it,

223
00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:08,040
Speaker 1: and you could just see Brandon's face kind of light

224
00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:10,240
Speaker 1: up a little bit. So it's exciting to be here.

225
00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:13,400
Speaker 1: And the reoccurring theme with all of these free agents

226
00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:16,920
Speaker 1: that I've loved is that they either have a past

227
00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:20,960
Speaker 1: being a Cowboys fan, or they have a tie to

228
00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:24,240
Speaker 1: the Cowboys, or everybody wants to play with the Cowboys.

229
00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:26,319
Speaker 1: And that's kind of been exactly you know what Stephan

230
00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:29,200
Speaker 1: Gilmour told us last week. It's what Brandon said in

231
00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:32,440
Speaker 1: his interview Ronald Even yesterday, mentioning that he was a

232
00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:35,000
Speaker 1: former Cowboys fan. His mom showed me a cute little

233
00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:37,880
Speaker 1: picture of him, like in a little Cowboys hat growing up.

234
00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:40,920
Speaker 1: So just the ties that this organization has to these

235
00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:42,640
Speaker 1: players who you know, I mean, when you think about

236
00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:45,400
Speaker 1: playing for the Texans, it's a rivalry if you will,

237
00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:48,439
Speaker 1: you know, anytime you're facing off against an in state opponent.

238
00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:52,560
Speaker 1: But something that I saw on Twitter whenever I posted

239
00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:54,360
Speaker 1: that we were doing our show today, I asked people,

240
00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:56,560
Speaker 1: you know, what are some thoughts that you have about

241
00:11:56,600 --> 00:11:59,000
Speaker 1: this free agency and what are some things you flagged?

242
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:01,600
Speaker 1: What are some things you don't like? Someone pointed out

243
00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:04,360
Speaker 1: that they are still a little bit frustrated that there

244
00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:08,160
Speaker 1: hasn't been any OBJ or DeAndre Hopkins signings yet. And

245
00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:10,040
Speaker 1: so I was thinking about this on the drive here,

246
00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:13,120
Speaker 1: because obviously I still wouldn't mind having, you know, another

247
00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:15,160
Speaker 1: addition to that wide receiver room, because to your point,

248
00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:17,440
Speaker 1: you can never have too much talent, right, But I

249
00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:19,640
Speaker 1: was trying to think, you know what does Brandon offer

250
00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:23,600
Speaker 1: that maybe those two don't And what does Brandon maybe

251
00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:25,560
Speaker 1: need that those two offer? So I H I kind

252
00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:27,200
Speaker 1: of want to defer to you because you're our resident

253
00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:29,679
Speaker 1: film expert. When you look at Brandon Cooks and you

254
00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:31,640
Speaker 1: look at his body of work, he's bounced around the

255
00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:35,000
Speaker 1: league for several years, but he's got good experience. He's

256
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:40,000
Speaker 1: got six one thousand yard receiving seasons. When you look

257
00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:43,839
Speaker 1: at Brandon Cook's body of work, are you happy with that?

258
00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:46,320
Speaker 1: Are you happy with not having an OBJ and a

259
00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:48,280
Speaker 1: DeAndre because you have Brandon? Or where does he kind

260
00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:51,640
Speaker 1: of stack up when you're looking at those other free agents? Okay,

261
00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:54,880
Speaker 1: so with Brandon, I think that you're getting obviously you

262
00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:57,160
Speaker 1: get an a versatile player, but you talked about him

263
00:12:57,160 --> 00:12:59,760
Speaker 1: being a better and him being experience. He knows where

264
00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:01,679
Speaker 1: he's supposed to be on the field, he's gonna I

265
00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:04,640
Speaker 1: think he's very QB friendly with how he fights back

266
00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:07,760
Speaker 1: to the ball. But he also has something that the

267
00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:11,840
Speaker 1: NFL is definitely looking for constantly, and that's speed. And

268
00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:13,960
Speaker 1: not only does he have speed, he knows how to

269
00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:17,480
Speaker 1: use that speed in his route running and how he separates,

270
00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:20,120
Speaker 1: and that's something that we talked about so much last

271
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:24,280
Speaker 1: season was the lack of separation that you had in

272
00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:29,400
Speaker 1: this receiving room. I think that he brings an underneath guy,

273
00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:31,959
Speaker 1: just kind of similar to how we were talking about Ty,

274
00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:35,240
Speaker 1: but he just has an explosiveness to him that can't

275
00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:37,719
Speaker 1: be replicated. And some guys can do it on like

276
00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:39,960
Speaker 1: in their forty and all this stuff, but this guy

277
00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:42,240
Speaker 1: can do it on tape. We've been looking for someone

278
00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:44,160
Speaker 1: to take the top off, and he can do that.

279
00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:46,520
Speaker 1: Now Odell can do that as well. I think O'Dell's

280
00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:48,880
Speaker 1: shifty as well. But then when you factor in Okay,

281
00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:51,960
Speaker 1: well Odell's coming off of ACLS, Brendon Cooks does not

282
00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:56,720
Speaker 1: have an extensive history of injury. He definitely has adorability

283
00:13:56,760 --> 00:13:59,240
Speaker 1: in his game, and that is why he's been traded.

284
00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:02,040
Speaker 1: That's why he's been traded because when he goes to teams,

285
00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:06,360
Speaker 1: he's productive, he's there, he's vocal. And I've did some

286
00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:08,840
Speaker 1: digging too, just like as far as the character and

287
00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:10,720
Speaker 1: stuff like that, because a lot of people are like, well,

288
00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:13,720
Speaker 1: why is he always getting traded? What's what's wrong with them?

289
00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:17,400
Speaker 1: And then obviously how things ended in Houston and whatever.

290
00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:20,560
Speaker 1: So it's like, this guy is also healthy for your

291
00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:23,080
Speaker 1: locker room, and I think that's important. Not only is

292
00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:25,240
Speaker 1: he healthy for the team, he's healthy for the locker room.

293
00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:27,720
Speaker 1: And so we've talked about that numerous times. I think

294
00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:30,640
Speaker 1: that played a huge factor in him coming here. Now

295
00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:33,440
Speaker 1: with DeAndre Hopkins, I think de Hopkins still ball. I

296
00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:35,840
Speaker 1: think he's still the dude, but he does strike you

297
00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:41,120
Speaker 1: as more of them possession like receivers. He's not going

298
00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:43,280
Speaker 1: to kenn he get separation yet. Is he going to

299
00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:47,120
Speaker 1: separate greatly? Absolutely not. That's not his Game's contested ball

300
00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:49,800
Speaker 1: fifty fifty guy like he's gonna catch everything that you

301
00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:53,560
Speaker 1: throw at him. But with this offense and what they're

302
00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:56,280
Speaker 1: trying to go to, I think with Mike McCarthy and

303
00:14:56,440 --> 00:15:00,479
Speaker 1: the quick bubble screens and quick quick game type stuff,

304
00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:03,680
Speaker 1: he fits this. And so I think that Brandon Cooks

305
00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:06,720
Speaker 1: is a very good fit for what they're trying to do. Offensively, end,

306
00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:10,480
Speaker 1: what you're looking to add to this wide receiver corps

307
00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:13,400
Speaker 1: that already has some fifty fifty guys, already has some

308
00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:15,600
Speaker 1: guys that can win one on one in some areas.

309
00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:17,320
Speaker 1: You wanted to add a guy that could kind of

310
00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:20,080
Speaker 1: do a little bit of everything. And that's this dude

311
00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:22,640
Speaker 1: right here. I like them. I like Brandon Cooks a lot,

312
00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:24,840
Speaker 1: and don't get it twisted either. Just because of his

313
00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:28,440
Speaker 1: last season stats, it doesn't make him a bad receiver.

314
00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:30,880
Speaker 1: Keep in mind he was playing for the Texans and

315
00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:33,160
Speaker 1: the only time the Texans really showed up last season

316
00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:34,880
Speaker 1: was to play the Cowboys. That was their super Bowl.

317
00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:37,200
Speaker 1: We had talked about it, they treated it as such.

318
00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:39,360
Speaker 1: And so what I really liked when I was looking

319
00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:44,000
Speaker 1: into Brandon Cooks is, you know, sometimes things in this

320
00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:47,200
Speaker 1: business of the NFL don't just turn out like they

321
00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:49,160
Speaker 1: go to their first team and that's where they stay.

322
00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:51,000
Speaker 1: Sometimes they have a little bit of a journey. And

323
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:53,680
Speaker 1: I think for Brandon Cooks, I respect that he's been

324
00:15:53,720 --> 00:15:55,960
Speaker 1: traded and he's been to different places because that gives

325
00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:58,120
Speaker 1: him more of a versatile mindset to be able to

326
00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:01,280
Speaker 1: work under different offensive schemes and learn how to adjust.

327
00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:04,040
Speaker 1: And I really I appreciate that out of him. And

328
00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:05,840
Speaker 1: you know what, if he wanted to play in Dallas,

329
00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:08,480
Speaker 1: He's going to play harder playing here. He saw what

330
00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:11,800
Speaker 1: it would be like in that Texans game to play

331
00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:14,480
Speaker 1: in Dallas. I mean, I'm telling you they were preparing

332
00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:18,200
Speaker 1: with everything they had for that game, and so, you know,

333
00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:20,600
Speaker 1: I'm really excited to see what he's going to bring.

334
00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:22,760
Speaker 1: And not only that, but we talked about the veteran

335
00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:26,160
Speaker 1: leadership non stuff, and that was something that I think

336
00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:29,280
Speaker 1: I was texting you guys in the pregame notes that

337
00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:32,320
Speaker 1: we do about this. But I think bringing in these

338
00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:35,480
Speaker 1: veterans early on is going to make a longer impact

339
00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:37,960
Speaker 1: because what we saw last season was yes, the veteran

340
00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:39,920
Speaker 1: leadership was brought in, but a little bit later in

341
00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:42,640
Speaker 1: the season. So I'm excited to see him be able

342
00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:45,200
Speaker 1: to work with the receiver room, through training camp, through

343
00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:48,240
Speaker 1: you know, OTAs, all all of the things, because now

344
00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:50,840
Speaker 1: you get that extra time, and you get that time

345
00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:53,960
Speaker 1: with veterans that have been in different places that know

346
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:56,400
Speaker 1: how to give you good advice, and you get to

347
00:16:56,440 --> 00:16:59,480
Speaker 1: absorb that even more like a sponge. So even veterans

348
00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:03,000
Speaker 1: on the Cowboys team, now Michael Gallup can learn some things.

349
00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:05,959
Speaker 1: You can see, you know, the younger guys Jalen Tolbert,

350
00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:08,800
Speaker 1: Semi Fioko, which is a name you don't really hear

351
00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:12,080
Speaker 1: much of anymore. You're allowing these guys even Kavante Turpin

352
00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:13,879
Speaker 1: if he wants more of an offensive role, which he

353
00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:18,480
Speaker 1: said he has this offseason. You're allowing those guys more

354
00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:21,159
Speaker 1: time to be better with a guy like this in

355
00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:24,639
Speaker 1: training camp, not just during the season's hustle. You mentioned

356
00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:26,679
Speaker 1: a really good point. I'm sorry, Hayley, before you go.

357
00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:31,520
Speaker 1: You mentioned that Brandon Cooks has been through, you know,

358
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:34,920
Speaker 1: going to other teams and being traded away. I really

359
00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:38,560
Speaker 1: do think it's important that the Cowboys were looking at

360
00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:41,480
Speaker 1: him last season and we're trying to pursue him last season.

361
00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:43,600
Speaker 1: Say what you want to say, but there's something about

362
00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:48,000
Speaker 1: feeling wanted somewhere right, feeling like or feeling like, hey,

363
00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:52,359
Speaker 1: anything in life. I'm coming in to tell his role

364
00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:54,560
Speaker 1: here has kind of I think we have a good

365
00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:57,040
Speaker 1: idea like this is he's intended to be this number

366
00:17:57,040 --> 00:17:59,800
Speaker 1: two receiver, number one that's going to take some stress

367
00:17:59,840 --> 00:18:01,800
Speaker 1: off of Ceedee Lamb is going to take some stress

368
00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:03,720
Speaker 1: off him always having to be the number one guy.

369
00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:07,440
Speaker 1: And if he's getting the second corner, he's probably excited.

370
00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:10,160
Speaker 1: So I just I wanted to say that I think

371
00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:12,760
Speaker 1: that I would hope that we get a very good

372
00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:17,199
Speaker 1: version and probably the best version of the archer, Brandon Cooks,

373
00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:20,920
Speaker 1: being that he is desired to be in this offensive

374
00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:23,000
Speaker 1: game plan and what they're trying to do moving forward,

375
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:25,359
Speaker 1: I think that's important for him. Yeah, it'll be interesting

376
00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:29,160
Speaker 1: to see how this offense shapes up Archer. We've got

377
00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:30,840
Speaker 1: to go ahead and take our first break here on

378
00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:32,359
Speaker 1: Girls Talk, Boys Talk. But I want to kind of

379
00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:34,480
Speaker 1: get into the defense when we come back, and we'll

380
00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:37,639
Speaker 1: talk about a quiet addition to the offensive line that

381
00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:39,760
Speaker 1: I don't think really has gotten a lot of conversation

382
00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:41,440
Speaker 1: about it. We'll talk about that on the other side

383
00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:44,280
Speaker 1: of the break here on Girls Talk, Boys Talk. At

384
00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:47,399
Speaker 1: Jigsaw Dating. We obviously want the Cowboys to bring that

385
00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:50,280
Speaker 1: sixth ring home, but to be honest, we're more focused

386
00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:52,639
Speaker 1: on finding the person who'll put a ring on your finger.

Speaker 1: my mom would like my family for the most part,

434
00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:37,000
Speaker 1: calls me Jesse, but like when they're mad at me,

435
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:39,440
Speaker 1: they're like, okay, Jessica. So it's just one of those

436
00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:41,400
Speaker 1: things that I feel like people say when they're mad

437
00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:45,120
Speaker 1: at me. So I'm like, what did I do it? Okay? Yeah,

438
00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:49,600
Speaker 1: my family, my whole family calls me Jesse back home. Yes, really,

439
00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:52,320
Speaker 1: ain't told me? Yes? Yeah, I mean there's more embarrassing

440
00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:54,919
Speaker 1: nicknames that go along with Jesse. If you just start rhyming,

441
00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:57,440
Speaker 1: that's pretty much what my family called. I literally wish

442
00:21:57,440 --> 00:22:00,840
Speaker 1: I could have taken a screen shot in action just now,

443
00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:03,680
Speaker 1: because it's the way you were so upset and I

444
00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:08,080
Speaker 1: felt a little betrayed. I didn't know Joe. The Joe

445
00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:11,280
Speaker 1: nickname was Jesse. Yeah. My whole family back home, even

446
00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:13,880
Speaker 1: like my best friend, her family still calls me Jesse

447
00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:16,399
Speaker 1: from when we were little. So it's just like a

448
00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:21,400
Speaker 1: back home that's my family. To know everybody alias Jesse's

449
00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:24,680
Speaker 1: in the ear so yeah, no, yah, y'all though, yeah,

450
00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:27,040
Speaker 1: y'all can stick to Jess okay, good without saying Jesse

451
00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:30,199
Speaker 1: all right, I wasn't pause. Then you started with like

452
00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:34,400
Speaker 1: the Jesse's girl thing, and okay, it's just too much

453
00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:37,040
Speaker 1: that a song. Yes, we're not going to talk about it. Instead,

454
00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:39,640
Speaker 1: we're gonna talk about the Cowboys offensive line. Love that more,

455
00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:42,760
Speaker 1: how it's shaping up a little bit. So obviously, with

456
00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:45,400
Speaker 1: the departure of Connor McGovern to the Bills a couple

457
00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:48,840
Speaker 1: of weeks ago, it left that guard spot open. We've

458
00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:50,960
Speaker 1: talked about Tyrann Smith as well, kind of being a

459
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:52,639
Speaker 1: swing I don't think he's really going to be that

460
00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:54,640
Speaker 1: swing tackle, so that's going to be a question mark

461
00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:58,400
Speaker 1: as well. But the good news is Cowboys just signed

462
00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:00,320
Speaker 1: a guy who can play guard or tackle. What he

463
00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:04,160
Speaker 1: gonna be him, We'll see that's not gonna see. That's

464
00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:06,440
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, Like, if Tyre is not going to

465
00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:09,280
Speaker 1: be a swing, he's gonna be because that's the thing.

466
00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:12,320
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, go ahead, yeah, introduce. You'll get to that

467
00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:13,800
Speaker 1: in a minute. But let's talk a little bit about

468
00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:16,280
Speaker 1: Chuma Idoga, a guy that the Cowboys like. I said,

469
00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:20,000
Speaker 1: just very quietly signed Yesterday's drafted by the Jets way

470
00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:23,439
Speaker 1: back in twenty nineteen. He has since spent some time.

471
00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:27,399
Speaker 1: I thought it was a little bit further back, but anyway,

472
00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:31,160
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter a little rust him up. Here's something though,

473
00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:33,480
Speaker 1: that I found interesting about this, and it has nothing

474
00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:36,919
Speaker 1: to do with his playability, but in that same draft,

475
00:23:38,359 --> 00:23:42,119
Speaker 1: Connor McGovern was taken two spots before Chuma in the

476
00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:44,040
Speaker 1: third round, So it's kind of interesting how things come

477
00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:47,760
Speaker 1: full circle. But he hasn't played a ton. Twenty six

478
00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:50,520
Speaker 1: career games, thirteen starts. He only had one last year

479
00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:52,840
Speaker 1: with the Falcons. He did have a season ending knee

480
00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:55,000
Speaker 1: injury last year, though. That is a little bit concerning

481
00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:58,520
Speaker 1: because we just talked about that. He has played mostly tackle,

482
00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:01,240
Speaker 1: but again, he's a guy who you can rotate around.

483
00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:02,520
Speaker 1: That was kind of the name of the game last

484
00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:04,840
Speaker 1: year with the offensive line towards the end of the season.

485
00:24:06,119 --> 00:24:08,439
Speaker 1: But I really think this provides that offensive line the

486
00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:11,399
Speaker 1: opportunity to be flexible going into the start of the

487
00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:13,919
Speaker 1: season rather than towards the back half of the season,

488
00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:16,119
Speaker 1: because now you have an opportunity to kind of plug

489
00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:18,760
Speaker 1: and chuck guys and mix them around to your point,

490
00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:21,640
Speaker 1: figure out where Tyrant Smith is going to fit best

491
00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:24,439
Speaker 1: versus where Chuma's gonna slide in. You know, how are

492
00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:26,240
Speaker 1: we going to mix some of the other guys onto

493
00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:30,080
Speaker 1: the offensive line. So I think this is quietly a

494
00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:33,400
Speaker 1: very good signing for this team. Yeah, and it's it's

495
00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:36,120
Speaker 1: like you talked about, it's it's a depth piece. It's

496
00:24:36,119 --> 00:24:39,680
Speaker 1: a guy that has some experience. I looked at him,

497
00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:42,280
Speaker 1: he's it's pretty good in the run game. Like me

498
00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:45,119
Speaker 1: and my Mahomi Metal ended some study on him and

499
00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:46,800
Speaker 1: looking at him in the run game and how he

500
00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:49,679
Speaker 1: works and stuff. And I think also too, he's another

501
00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:52,520
Speaker 1: guy that the Cowboys were looking at last year that

502
00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:56,240
Speaker 1: they ended up circling back to. So um, Yeah, when

503
00:24:56,240 --> 00:24:58,920
Speaker 1: you talk about depth and going into especially going into

504
00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:01,960
Speaker 1: the draft kind of trying to shore up some of

505
00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:04,800
Speaker 1: these positions, I would assume he is a left side player.

506
00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:08,600
Speaker 1: But there are just so many questions for me right

507
00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:11,760
Speaker 1: now currently about is Tiring going to be the starter? There?

508
00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:15,000
Speaker 1: Are they going to slide Tyler to guard? What's going

509
00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:18,080
Speaker 1: to happen there? And I think that Chuma is kind

510
00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:20,320
Speaker 1: of plays into that and we'll start to see more

511
00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:23,800
Speaker 1: of what their vision is for this offensive line predominantly

512
00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:25,960
Speaker 1: on that left side with him coming in. And you

513
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:28,879
Speaker 1: also can't have enough versatility. We learned that last season

514
00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:31,600
Speaker 1: is you can't have enough guys, you can't have enough versatility.

515
00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:33,720
Speaker 1: And the fact that we're even having this debate left

516
00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:35,119
Speaker 1: or right, which side is he going to be on?

517
00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:37,240
Speaker 1: I think that's already a really good sign that he's

518
00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:40,560
Speaker 1: going to fit very well and cohesively on this offensive line.

519
00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:43,600
Speaker 1: I also think where he is is going to heavily

520
00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:47,359
Speaker 1: depend on maybe the Jason Peters free agency signing, seeing

521
00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:50,520
Speaker 1: if they can shore him back up on this team.

522
00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:53,280
Speaker 1: Because if that's the case, you have your swing with

523
00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:55,520
Speaker 1: Jason Peters like you did last season. We know Jason

524
00:25:55,560 --> 00:25:59,600
Speaker 1: Peters isn't necessarily like a full snap, full game kind

525
00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:01,359
Speaker 1: of guy. Unless you need him to be, He's going

526
00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:03,280
Speaker 1: to find a way to do it. It's just the

527
00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:07,359
Speaker 1: question mark if Jason Peters is going to not only

528
00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:10,840
Speaker 1: maybe stay in Dallas, but I mean, is he going

529
00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:12,280
Speaker 1: to call it a career. We don't know. We don't

530
00:26:12,280 --> 00:26:14,399
Speaker 1: know yet. There's a lot of question marks around that.

531
00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:17,240
Speaker 1: But I think another name that just entered the chat

532
00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:20,040
Speaker 1: that makes things very interesting, is Isaac Laquon. I think

533
00:26:20,359 --> 00:26:23,840
Speaker 1: that is going to be very interesting to see him

534
00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:26,119
Speaker 1: or he went defense, so I guess not so much anymore.

535
00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:29,119
Speaker 1: But again, versatility, you're talking about a guy that can

536
00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:32,680
Speaker 1: go from an offensive line to a defensive line. Hello beautiful.

537
00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:35,280
Speaker 1: I mean, I love this, but um, I think it

538
00:26:35,320 --> 00:26:40,040
Speaker 1: depends on really what you're going to see more so

539
00:26:40,160 --> 00:26:42,240
Speaker 1: with Jason Peters and then that right tackle position with

540
00:26:42,280 --> 00:26:46,480
Speaker 1: Tyron Smith. I mean, we don't know that the future

541
00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:50,040
Speaker 1: of that I guess position considering the background that Tyron

542
00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:55,119
Speaker 1: has with health. Yeah, here's here's here's my thoughts. I

543
00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:59,840
Speaker 1: thought that Jason played fine in the Texans game, and

544
00:26:59,880 --> 00:27:04,720
Speaker 1: I think because that was an opportunity for him to

545
00:27:04,720 --> 00:27:07,360
Speaker 1: help them figure it out. Because respectfully, like Matt Ball

546
00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:11,040
Speaker 1: just wasn't it right like that? Ja, Yes, Josh sorry

547
00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:14,320
Speaker 1: got him and let's right, but Josh Ball just wasn't

548
00:27:14,359 --> 00:27:15,800
Speaker 1: the answer in that game. I don't know if he's

549
00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:19,080
Speaker 1: the answer going forward. He's obviously still on the roster,

550
00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:24,360
Speaker 1: but I I don't know that Jason Peter's value here

551
00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:26,480
Speaker 1: is going to be the same this season as it

552
00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:30,040
Speaker 1: was last year, just because number one, you saw how

553
00:27:30,080 --> 00:27:33,640
Speaker 1: long it took him to get ramped up into playing games, right,

554
00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:36,120
Speaker 1: Like it took him six weeks. Was the Eagles game

555
00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:38,199
Speaker 1: his first game, so it took him six weeks to

556
00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:40,680
Speaker 1: get into the lineup. From there, it was another three

557
00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:42,719
Speaker 1: weeks of a ramp up period and where you were

558
00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:45,320
Speaker 1: mixing him in, you know, kind of wherever he saw

559
00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:48,240
Speaker 1: fit as a as a sub, and then down the

560
00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:51,119
Speaker 1: stretch between injuries and just not playing well, and then

561
00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:52,960
Speaker 1: you had another guy in Tyrren Smith who was still

562
00:27:53,040 --> 00:27:54,800
Speaker 1: kind of banged up, and they were trying to figure out,

563
00:27:55,080 --> 00:27:57,080
Speaker 1: you know, who was going to be in that position.

564
00:27:57,119 --> 00:28:00,240
Speaker 1: I just don't know for the value of what you

565
00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:03,600
Speaker 1: got from him last year. We clap, we give him flowers,

566
00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:06,040
Speaker 1: but sometimes these guys are really just plug and chug

567
00:28:06,119 --> 00:28:08,720
Speaker 1: for one season. And I think when you see the

568
00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:12,640
Speaker 1: signing that was Chuma. To me, that's kind of where

569
00:28:12,680 --> 00:28:16,679
Speaker 1: I see Jason Peter's role kind of evaporate. Because now,

570
00:28:16,680 --> 00:28:18,560
Speaker 1: like that's what I was doing while we're talking. I

571
00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:22,280
Speaker 1: basically just wrote out the offensive line of what you

572
00:28:22,359 --> 00:28:25,760
Speaker 1: could potentially see, right and obviously, can we talk about

573
00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:28,520
Speaker 1: how good your pitch? This is, like you know, kind

574
00:28:28,560 --> 00:28:31,320
Speaker 1: of interchangeable right, But then you have all this depth

575
00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:34,720
Speaker 1: over here as well. I just don't know. I don't

576
00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:36,760
Speaker 1: know where Jason Peters Fitz. I really don't. And to

577
00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:39,360
Speaker 1: your point, I also still confused where Tyrann Smith plays

578
00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:42,080
Speaker 1: because we loved how Tyler played this past season. So

579
00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:45,080
Speaker 1: do you want to take him away from that, you know,

580
00:28:45,320 --> 00:28:47,680
Speaker 1: guard position and moving back over or moving from the

581
00:28:47,680 --> 00:28:49,720
Speaker 1: tackle position back over to guard. Do you have him

582
00:28:49,920 --> 00:28:54,120
Speaker 1: learned that all over again? So it's definitely it's definitely

583
00:28:55,360 --> 00:28:57,920
Speaker 1: that to me, the Tuma signing kind of solidified that we,

584
00:28:58,120 --> 00:29:01,520
Speaker 1: like Nail probably won't see Jason. Yeah, I definitely agree

585
00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:04,320
Speaker 1: with that. I definitely think that he's that left side

586
00:29:04,360 --> 00:29:06,640
Speaker 1: player that they want to have in there and just

587
00:29:06,640 --> 00:29:09,040
Speaker 1: just in case something happens with either of those guys

588
00:29:09,080 --> 00:29:11,600
Speaker 1: for right now and it makes sense and also too,

589
00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:13,920
Speaker 1: I mean, like we talked about, Chuma is not some

590
00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:16,800
Speaker 1: old dude like he's not. He's a young guy. So

591
00:29:17,080 --> 00:29:18,760
Speaker 1: he has the ability to come in here and get

592
00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:21,360
Speaker 1: some coaching, get better, maybe get with a duke manny

593
00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:23,520
Speaker 1: whether White's here like all these other guys doing this

594
00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:26,640
Speaker 1: offensive line room, and improve his play and see if

595
00:29:26,680 --> 00:29:29,120
Speaker 1: he is somebody like again if he was on their

596
00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:32,080
Speaker 1: radar last year, it says something. So maybe they want

597
00:29:32,080 --> 00:29:34,000
Speaker 1: to get him in here and get with these coaches

598
00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:36,400
Speaker 1: and see what he's capable of moving forward, even just

599
00:29:36,480 --> 00:29:41,400
Speaker 1: being a formidable swing or backup. Because we've talked about

600
00:29:41,520 --> 00:29:44,840
Speaker 1: offensive line. Good offensive line it's hard to come by

601
00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:47,480
Speaker 1: in this league right now. So yeah, yeah, to get

602
00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:49,840
Speaker 1: your run game going like you're wanting it, all trickles

603
00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:52,920
Speaker 1: back down. And you mentioned Matt Owen and his tweet

604
00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:54,640
Speaker 1: that he put out. Shout out to Matt for this.

605
00:29:54,760 --> 00:29:58,640
Speaker 1: He said last season with the Falcons, during that one

606
00:29:58,760 --> 00:30:01,120
Speaker 1: start that Chuma did have, he had a seven seven

607
00:30:01,360 --> 00:30:04,479
Speaker 1: seventy seven point eight PF grade, eighty four point nine

608
00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:07,800
Speaker 1: run block, sixty two point five pass block with one start.

609
00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:10,360
Speaker 1: He only allowed one pressure and no quarterback hits. So

610
00:30:10,440 --> 00:30:13,480
Speaker 1: that tells you, you know, although he hasn't plays much,

611
00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:16,240
Speaker 1: he can plant his feet. He's going to make sure

612
00:30:16,360 --> 00:30:19,800
Speaker 1: Dak stays protected. Yeah. Yeah, Like I said, that's going

613
00:30:19,880 --> 00:30:21,800
Speaker 1: to be a position group that I think we haven't

614
00:30:21,800 --> 00:30:23,760
Speaker 1: talked a ton about, just because when you think about

615
00:30:23,760 --> 00:30:26,480
Speaker 1: the COWBOYSZ line, you think Tyrn Smith, Zach Martin, right,

616
00:30:26,480 --> 00:30:28,560
Speaker 1: but you have to recognize that those guys are getting

617
00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:32,160
Speaker 1: up there, especially Tyrn like you. If I could have

618
00:30:32,200 --> 00:30:35,000
Speaker 1: one wish for this season, that's not get the Cowboys

619
00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:37,320
Speaker 1: to the super Bowl. It's keep Tyrn Smith healthy because

620
00:30:37,360 --> 00:30:40,080
Speaker 1: I think that solves so many of your problems when

621
00:30:40,120 --> 00:30:42,280
Speaker 1: you have him playing healthy and playing at the high

622
00:30:42,360 --> 00:30:44,080
Speaker 1: level that he can play too. So that's my wish

623
00:30:44,080 --> 00:30:48,880
Speaker 1: for the Cowboys this season. We also have the pleasure

624
00:30:49,040 --> 00:30:53,400
Speaker 1: of welcoming CJ. Goodwin back again, another sneaky kind of

625
00:30:54,160 --> 00:30:56,400
Speaker 1: signing that the Cowboys got done. And it just goes

626
00:30:56,440 --> 00:30:58,479
Speaker 1: back to our first block. And the point of you know,

627
00:30:58,840 --> 00:31:01,120
Speaker 1: this front office is series is I think they recognized

628
00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:04,280
Speaker 1: over the last two years what they've built, and now

629
00:31:04,320 --> 00:31:08,280
Speaker 1: it feels like between you know, the free agency signings

630
00:31:08,320 --> 00:31:10,760
Speaker 1: that the Joneses are working out, what Will McClay is

631
00:31:10,760 --> 00:31:12,600
Speaker 1: cooking up in that draft coming up, and what we

632
00:31:12,640 --> 00:31:14,640
Speaker 1: saw out of him and heard from him at the combine.

633
00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:18,160
Speaker 1: Now you're mixing in one of the most important and

634
00:31:18,240 --> 00:31:21,240
Speaker 1: underrated parts of the game in special teams. Now, I

635
00:31:21,280 --> 00:31:23,200
Speaker 1: didn't know c J. Goodwin had been the league for

636
00:31:23,200 --> 00:31:24,760
Speaker 1: as long as he had. I mean I knew, I

637
00:31:24,840 --> 00:31:26,440
Speaker 1: knew he'd been here for a while, but he's been

638
00:31:26,440 --> 00:31:28,080
Speaker 1: in the league for eight years. I mean he's two

639
00:31:28,160 --> 00:31:31,320
Speaker 1: years out of being a decade player, and that is

640
00:31:31,360 --> 00:31:34,280
Speaker 1: something that you don't typically think about a ton but

641
00:31:34,320 --> 00:31:36,920
Speaker 1: when you talk about an impact player, a consistency guy,

642
00:31:37,800 --> 00:31:39,840
Speaker 1: I think that that was a signing as well, kind

643
00:31:39,840 --> 00:31:42,680
Speaker 1: of like donno where, like you needed to get that done. Yeah,

644
00:31:42,760 --> 00:31:46,600
Speaker 1: vocal leader on special teams. I really appreciate. I know

645
00:31:46,680 --> 00:31:48,920
Speaker 1: that he's I know he understands what's going on because

646
00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:51,640
Speaker 1: he will teach us in the locker room. He's if

647
00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:53,760
Speaker 1: he will you ask him a question, he will tell

648
00:31:53,760 --> 00:31:56,160
Speaker 1: you some of the nuances of special teams. And there's

649
00:31:56,200 --> 00:31:58,880
Speaker 1: just so many things that goes on on that side

650
00:31:58,920 --> 00:32:00,320
Speaker 1: of the ball. You gotta be a little easy to

651
00:32:00,320 --> 00:32:02,640
Speaker 1: play special to be a full time special team or

652
00:32:02,680 --> 00:32:04,880
Speaker 1: you gotta be a little nuts. So I appreciate what

653
00:32:04,920 --> 00:32:06,800
Speaker 1: he brings to the team, but also too, it allows

654
00:32:06,840 --> 00:32:10,280
Speaker 1: bones to retain one of his guys and he could

655
00:32:10,360 --> 00:32:13,160
Speaker 1: be losing some of his special teams guy he did.

656
00:32:13,240 --> 00:32:17,200
Speaker 1: He lost Luke Gifford, Noel Brown, who's a guy who's

657
00:32:17,240 --> 00:32:20,320
Speaker 1: on special teams very often. So to retain him and

658
00:32:20,360 --> 00:32:22,040
Speaker 1: to have him in this locker room to kind of

659
00:32:22,120 --> 00:32:25,000
Speaker 1: keep the standard of what they expect on that ball.

660
00:32:25,160 --> 00:32:27,000
Speaker 1: I think on that side of the ball was important.

661
00:32:27,280 --> 00:32:29,320
Speaker 1: And we know how much special teams can have an

662
00:32:29,320 --> 00:32:33,200
Speaker 1: impact on games, right, It's very underappreciated how much special

663
00:32:33,200 --> 00:32:36,120
Speaker 1: teams can make a domino effect for this game and

664
00:32:36,320 --> 00:32:39,360
Speaker 1: outcomes of games. And so what I really appreciate about

665
00:32:39,480 --> 00:32:42,720
Speaker 1: c J. Goodwin in this signing is it guarantees that

666
00:32:42,800 --> 00:32:45,160
Speaker 1: you know, Bones does get more time with these guys

667
00:32:45,320 --> 00:32:47,560
Speaker 1: to be able to guarantee that you're you know, when

668
00:32:47,560 --> 00:32:49,200
Speaker 1: the offense is getting ready to go on, you have

669
00:32:49,320 --> 00:32:52,640
Speaker 1: that good field position and ready to shore up your offense.

670
00:32:52,880 --> 00:32:56,080
Speaker 1: Now you have some shiny new players on the offensive

671
00:32:56,120 --> 00:32:58,720
Speaker 1: side of the ball, and you know, you get that

672
00:32:58,800 --> 00:33:01,280
Speaker 1: run game going, but you're not Dak in a position

673
00:33:01,360 --> 00:33:04,720
Speaker 1: where he has to throw those giant bombs across. And

674
00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:07,520
Speaker 1: it's beautiful when it works out, but you're taking less

675
00:33:07,560 --> 00:33:10,560
Speaker 1: pressure essentially off of your quarterback by getting him in

676
00:33:10,640 --> 00:33:14,640
Speaker 1: a good position, by using and utilizing the veterans like

677
00:33:14,720 --> 00:33:17,200
Speaker 1: c J. Goodwin on special teams. Yeah, it's an extension

678
00:33:17,240 --> 00:33:22,560
Speaker 1: of the offense. Special teams. We love special teams. It matters, Yeah,

679
00:33:22,800 --> 00:33:25,360
Speaker 1: can change the game. Yeah, I agree. I think, like

680
00:33:25,440 --> 00:33:27,800
Speaker 1: I said, it's quietly one of the most important parts

681
00:33:27,800 --> 00:33:29,280
Speaker 1: of the game, and I think that this is an

682
00:33:29,360 --> 00:33:31,960
Speaker 1: organization that really puts a lot of emphasis on that

683
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:34,600
Speaker 1: as well. I was trying to scroll through and see

684
00:33:34,680 --> 00:33:37,160
Speaker 1: because there's been so much movement and one of the

685
00:33:37,160 --> 00:33:40,680
Speaker 1: things that we haven't even touched on that we should have. Obviously,

686
00:33:40,880 --> 00:33:44,480
Speaker 1: Dalton Shoultz no longer with us in Dallas. That didn't

687
00:33:44,480 --> 00:33:47,240
Speaker 1: come out right. Dalton Stokes is no longer a cowboy,

688
00:33:47,440 --> 00:33:49,680
Speaker 1: is what I meant. He made the trip down the

689
00:33:49,760 --> 00:33:55,080
Speaker 1: road to the Houston, Txans, but we kind of saw

690
00:33:55,120 --> 00:33:56,720
Speaker 1: it coming, you know what I mean. And I think

691
00:33:56,720 --> 00:33:59,320
Speaker 1: with Dalton too, like respectfully, I mean this in the

692
00:33:59,320 --> 00:34:02,920
Speaker 1: most respectful a way possible, Like he got so too

693
00:34:02,960 --> 00:34:05,560
Speaker 1: big for his boots when he was going through the

694
00:34:05,560 --> 00:34:09,920
Speaker 1: franchise tag negotiations, I knew that he had been offered

695
00:34:09,960 --> 00:34:12,759
Speaker 1: a ton of money, but I didn't realize that they

696
00:34:12,760 --> 00:34:15,400
Speaker 1: had offered him like a three year, thirty six million

697
00:34:15,440 --> 00:34:17,920
Speaker 1: dollars deal, which is nuts because even looking at the

698
00:34:17,960 --> 00:34:20,879
Speaker 1: market for tied in right now, he might have been

699
00:34:20,920 --> 00:34:24,399
Speaker 1: overpaid at that point. Yeah, he would have been ever

700
00:34:24,440 --> 00:34:26,160
Speaker 1: paid if they would have paid him that. Yeah, and

701
00:34:26,320 --> 00:34:29,279
Speaker 1: then you're looking at cap space even this season, you've

702
00:34:29,320 --> 00:34:33,040
Speaker 1: seen you know, multiple guys at this point restructuring contracts

703
00:34:33,560 --> 00:34:35,759
Speaker 1: could have been a cap casualty to have, you know,

704
00:34:35,840 --> 00:34:38,160
Speaker 1: looking back in hindsight, it could have been a cap

705
00:34:38,200 --> 00:34:40,640
Speaker 1: casualty to have been paying him as much money as

706
00:34:40,719 --> 00:34:43,440
Speaker 1: that deal was last season. To come into this season,

707
00:34:43,719 --> 00:34:46,000
Speaker 1: you might not have been able to see those splash

708
00:34:46,080 --> 00:34:49,759
Speaker 1: signings like Gilmore and Cooks, and you might not have

709
00:34:49,840 --> 00:34:51,840
Speaker 1: seen all of that. So things happen for a reason,

710
00:34:52,080 --> 00:34:54,359
Speaker 1: and it is what it is for Schultz. We wish

711
00:34:54,440 --> 00:34:56,560
Speaker 1: him the vest. We wish him the vest. Do you

712
00:34:57,480 --> 00:35:01,120
Speaker 1: have fun? We do? But he Here's where this gets

713
00:35:01,120 --> 00:35:04,239
Speaker 1: tricky though, because as as greedy as Dalton was, I

714
00:35:04,280 --> 00:35:07,400
Speaker 1: think to a degree, he felt like he deserved it.

715
00:35:07,440 --> 00:35:11,719
Speaker 1: And obviously that was reflected in the quarterback right. Dak

716
00:35:11,719 --> 00:35:14,719
Speaker 1: Prescott loved throwing to Dalton. He was kind of his

717
00:35:14,800 --> 00:35:17,560
Speaker 1: go to guy. The problem with Dalton is that we've

718
00:35:17,600 --> 00:35:25,280
Speaker 1: talked about his yak abilities like yeah, where are yeah? So,

719
00:35:25,280 --> 00:35:29,120
Speaker 1: so that's obviously leaving the path open for a Jake

720
00:35:29,160 --> 00:35:31,799
Speaker 1: Ferguson to kind of step in and be that tight

721
00:35:31,920 --> 00:35:36,319
Speaker 1: end that we want Dalton to be he wasn't really that.

722
00:35:36,760 --> 00:35:38,560
Speaker 1: He was more of all reliable, I think, but I

723
00:35:38,600 --> 00:35:40,600
Speaker 1: think when you get a Jake Ferguson in there and

724
00:35:40,640 --> 00:35:43,040
Speaker 1: a Peyton Henders shot like, those guys have proven to

725
00:35:43,120 --> 00:35:46,800
Speaker 1: be baller, So I think to be fair though, looking

726
00:35:46,800 --> 00:35:49,520
Speaker 1: back at his twenty twenty one season, he was balling.

727
00:35:49,719 --> 00:35:52,799
Speaker 1: He really was, and he was that guy for that

728
00:35:52,960 --> 00:35:56,520
Speaker 1: season because Blake Jarwin was out at that point. He

729
00:35:56,600 --> 00:35:58,520
Speaker 1: had to be that guy. So he did step up.

730
00:35:58,520 --> 00:36:01,400
Speaker 1: The twenty twenty one season, he had eight hundred and

731
00:36:01,440 --> 00:36:05,480
Speaker 1: eight total yards let's see for seventy eight receptions, and

732
00:36:05,520 --> 00:36:07,759
Speaker 1: he was targeted one hundred and four times, the most

733
00:36:07,760 --> 00:36:11,880
Speaker 1: in his career at that point, played all seventeen games.

734
00:36:12,120 --> 00:36:14,040
Speaker 1: And then you look at the twenty twenties two season,

735
00:36:14,080 --> 00:36:16,960
Speaker 1: that significantly drops. You went from eight hundred and eight

736
00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:18,960
Speaker 1: yards to five hundred and seventy seven. Still a good

737
00:36:18,960 --> 00:36:22,839
Speaker 1: amount of yardage targeted eighty nine times, but enters the

738
00:36:22,920 --> 00:36:27,239
Speaker 1: chat Jake Ferguson and Pender Peyton hendershot because you know,

739
00:36:27,600 --> 00:36:29,960
Speaker 1: not to say he wasn't utilized. I think Dalton Schultz

740
00:36:29,960 --> 00:36:33,560
Speaker 1: was utilized in the offense, but you also saw the

741
00:36:33,600 --> 00:36:36,520
Speaker 1: ability that these younger guys have. For that yak ability.

742
00:36:36,719 --> 00:36:41,040
Speaker 1: You saw Jake Ferguson plowing through people, and you know, man,

743
00:36:41,280 --> 00:36:45,920
Speaker 1: I think Jake in this building. I just think Dalton

744
00:36:45,960 --> 00:36:47,840
Speaker 1: should have taken his deal when he had the chance.

745
00:36:47,920 --> 00:36:51,160
Speaker 1: But good luck in Houston. Yeah, he developed in Tula.

746
00:36:51,640 --> 00:36:55,640
Speaker 1: He developed into a more than more than formidable above average.

747
00:36:55,640 --> 00:36:57,239
Speaker 1: To tie it in, like, he can play the game

748
00:36:57,280 --> 00:37:02,080
Speaker 1: at high level. But unfortunately the position is changing. The

749
00:37:02,200 --> 00:37:05,080
Speaker 1: value of the position is changing. And with this some

750
00:37:05,239 --> 00:37:07,120
Speaker 1: coming draft we've been talking about I'm sure we're going

751
00:37:07,200 --> 00:37:09,200
Speaker 1: to talk about it in the next hour on the

752
00:37:09,280 --> 00:37:12,239
Speaker 1: Draft show. It's just how many tight ends that are

753
00:37:12,280 --> 00:37:15,359
Speaker 1: good in this draft. And so it really hurt him, like, hey,

754
00:37:15,520 --> 00:37:18,120
Speaker 1: can't see the future. He couldn't see that these tight ends,

755
00:37:18,120 --> 00:37:20,239
Speaker 1: these young tight ends coming out, we're gonna be this good.

756
00:37:20,280 --> 00:37:24,440
Speaker 1: But when you look across the draft, you like, yeah,

757
00:37:24,440 --> 00:37:26,560
Speaker 1: what I'm gonna pay somebody? What am I gonna pay

758
00:37:26,600 --> 00:37:29,640
Speaker 1: somebody top dollar? Poe for Woods, Yeah, yeah, yeah, it'll

759
00:37:29,840 --> 00:37:31,759
Speaker 1: You have to remember too, he was hurt. Yeah, the

760
00:37:31,800 --> 00:37:34,600
Speaker 1: first half season two, I think you missed what three games,

761
00:37:35,040 --> 00:37:36,839
Speaker 1: two back to back, and then came back and then

762
00:37:36,840 --> 00:37:39,400
Speaker 1: missed another, so we wish him well. But the new

763
00:37:39,440 --> 00:37:42,800
Speaker 1: wave is on. It's all about Peyton and Jake, Kenny

764
00:37:42,840 --> 00:37:45,560
Speaker 1: and Kenny and Firg Baby. All right, we're gonna take

765

828
00:41:33,440 --> 00:41:36,640

829
00:41:36,640 --> 00:41:39,440
Speaker 1: this free agent list for the Dallas Cowboys. All of

830
00:41:39,440 --> 00:41:42,440
Speaker 1: these guys I am about to list are unrestricted free agent,

831
00:41:42,960 --> 00:41:46,239
Speaker 1: and I want you Ayesha and Jess to let me

832
00:41:46,280 --> 00:41:50,279
Speaker 1: know who you think is important for this organization to

833
00:41:51,320 --> 00:41:55,839
Speaker 1: keep on the roster given what they have already done

834
00:41:55,840 --> 00:41:57,960
Speaker 1: in free agency. Because I know we've talked about this before,

835
00:41:58,000 --> 00:42:00,879
Speaker 1: but now obviously the rosters changed, situation's changed. So I'm

836
00:42:00,880 --> 00:42:03,839
Speaker 1: gonna list these guys. You guys, let me know who

837
00:42:03,880 --> 00:42:06,680
Speaker 1: you want to see back in a Cowboys uniform. Starting

838
00:42:06,680 --> 00:42:11,120
Speaker 1: at the top, we've got linebacker Anthony Barr, cornerback Anthony Brown,

839
00:42:12,160 --> 00:42:17,280
Speaker 1: tackle Jonathan Hankins, wide receiver T White, Hilton, kicker Brett Maher,

840
00:42:17,920 --> 00:42:23,919
Speaker 1: long snapper Matt Overton, and tackle Carlos Watkins. I'm gonna

841
00:42:23,920 --> 00:42:27,080
Speaker 1: start with you, Aisha, give me at least one name

842
00:42:27,080 --> 00:42:29,160
Speaker 1: on this list that you think in order for the

843
00:42:29,200 --> 00:42:32,800
Speaker 1: Cowboys to win a Super Bowl they need to come back. Hankins. Hankins.

844
00:42:32,880 --> 00:42:35,319
Speaker 1: We did our sales pitch before the season, and that

845
00:42:35,400 --> 00:42:37,360
Speaker 1: was my sales pitch. It wasn't even nothing fast. It

846
00:42:37,600 --> 00:42:41,160
Speaker 1: was just like Jerry. You've seen the numbers slap playing

847
00:42:41,239 --> 00:42:43,680
Speaker 1: like y'all trade it for him for a reason, and

848
00:42:44,120 --> 00:42:46,359
Speaker 1: you saw the improvement in his play. He helps out

849
00:42:46,360 --> 00:42:48,600
Speaker 1: the linebackers, he helps out the d ns. This is

850
00:42:48,600 --> 00:42:50,640
Speaker 1: a defensive line that wants to get to the quarterback.

851
00:42:50,680 --> 00:42:54,440
Speaker 1: He can eat up double teams. Bring his tail back

852
00:42:54,520 --> 00:42:56,200
Speaker 1: here so we can talk to him in the locker

853
00:42:56,280 --> 00:42:59,239
Speaker 1: room because he's my guy. But he can play the

854
00:42:59,280 --> 00:43:02,640
Speaker 1: game and level and I just he You saw the

855
00:43:02,640 --> 00:43:05,120
Speaker 1: difference in the run defense when he was there. Cowboys

856
00:43:05,120 --> 00:43:08,200
Speaker 1: have not invested at the nose tackle position in a

857
00:43:08,200 --> 00:43:11,279
Speaker 1: while and a serious level. And so yeah, I think

858
00:43:11,280 --> 00:43:13,760
Speaker 1: he would also make it easier for them to go draft.

859
00:43:13,920 --> 00:43:17,680
Speaker 1: So that is my guy, Jonathan. Hey, man, I feel

860
00:43:17,680 --> 00:43:20,279
Speaker 1: like I'm gonna give the unpopular opinion here because I'm

861
00:43:20,320 --> 00:43:23,399
Speaker 1: not gonna go the obvious route of Jonathan Hankins. Are

862
00:43:23,400 --> 00:43:26,799
Speaker 1: you going to say Brett Maher No, please don't. I'm not, No,

863
00:43:26,880 --> 00:43:30,279
Speaker 1: I'm not. But this is I did you said his

864
00:43:30,320 --> 00:43:31,839
Speaker 1: name and I was like, oh, I'm not gonna write

865
00:43:31,840 --> 00:43:34,279
Speaker 1: his name. I will put my pen down. Um, I

866
00:43:34,320 --> 00:43:36,640
Speaker 1: don't know seriously that the Cowboys do need to find

867
00:43:36,680 --> 00:43:39,839
Speaker 1: a kicker to fill that situation. Anyways, I'm gonna go

868
00:43:40,000 --> 00:43:42,720
Speaker 1: and this is a debate, Well, this is a debate

869
00:43:42,760 --> 00:43:46,360
Speaker 1: fuel for Cowboys Nation because it is a cornerback Anthony Brown.

870
00:43:46,920 --> 00:43:50,360
Speaker 1: Here's the thing. I feel like he is so underappreciated

871
00:43:50,400 --> 00:43:53,600
Speaker 1: for what he brings in that position and Cowboys fans

872
00:43:53,960 --> 00:43:56,439
Speaker 1: just in I'm not even gonna sing about Cowboys Nation.

873
00:43:56,480 --> 00:43:58,760
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say in general, I think the cornerback position

874
00:43:59,040 --> 00:44:01,960
Speaker 1: is such a rare position and that fans don't understand

875
00:44:01,960 --> 00:44:04,719
Speaker 1: the nuances of how difficult of a position that is.

876
00:44:04,719 --> 00:44:08,759
Speaker 1: You're basically playing receiver on the defensive side. So you know,

877
00:44:08,960 --> 00:44:11,920
Speaker 1: Trey Von gets a lot of flak for you know,

878
00:44:12,040 --> 00:44:14,960
Speaker 1: oh he's so burned all the time. No, it's just

879
00:44:15,000 --> 00:44:17,640
Speaker 1: how the position goes sometimes. But here's the thing. I

880
00:44:17,680 --> 00:44:20,080
Speaker 1: want to bring Anthony Brown back because I don't think

881
00:44:20,080 --> 00:44:21,719
Speaker 1: he was done. I think you were starting to see

882
00:44:21,719 --> 00:44:23,839
Speaker 1: the peak of what Anthony Brown is able to do.

883
00:44:24,120 --> 00:44:27,480
Speaker 1: And then again, we cannot have enough versatility or depth

884
00:44:27,560 --> 00:44:30,680
Speaker 1: on that kind of position. We solve it happened last season,

885
00:44:31,120 --> 00:44:32,960
Speaker 1: and you know, I don't I don't really want to

886
00:44:32,960 --> 00:44:34,759
Speaker 1: go back to that. I don't want to experience that again.

887
00:44:34,760 --> 00:44:37,520
Speaker 1: I think Anthony Brown deserves his flowers. He's a veteran

888
00:44:37,520 --> 00:44:40,239
Speaker 1: in that position. So if you can have more veteran leadership,

889
00:44:40,360 --> 00:44:43,840
Speaker 1: veteran experience in a cornerback position, why would you not

890
00:44:43,960 --> 00:44:46,800
Speaker 1: want that. I'm not you know, I'm not saying he's

891
00:44:46,800 --> 00:44:50,200
Speaker 1: our end all, be all cornerback. But you need versatility,

892
00:44:50,360 --> 00:44:53,400
Speaker 1: you need depth in that position. I'm bringing Anthony brownback

893
00:44:53,480 --> 00:44:55,279
Speaker 1: the choice. I think if it's me and I'm looking

894
00:44:55,360 --> 00:44:57,520
Speaker 1: at this list and I'm scrolling through, I think Anthony's

895
00:44:57,520 --> 00:45:00,200
Speaker 1: super important. I think Hankins is obviously the number one

896
00:45:00,200 --> 00:45:02,040
Speaker 1: thing on this list to get done, in my opinion,

897
00:45:02,480 --> 00:45:05,080
Speaker 1: But I also think that it would be sneaky good

898
00:45:05,239 --> 00:45:09,400
Speaker 1: to resign Matt Overton too, deal because you need a

899
00:45:09,400 --> 00:45:12,520
Speaker 1: long snapper. Wait now with the Lions, so you need

900
00:45:12,520 --> 00:45:14,279
Speaker 1: a long snapper. So at the very least you know

901
00:45:14,320 --> 00:45:16,560
Speaker 1: that this is a guy who has chemistry with your

902
00:45:16,600 --> 00:45:19,839
Speaker 1: punter and Brian Anger. We don't know if Brett comes back.

903
00:45:20,200 --> 00:45:22,719
Speaker 1: We feel pretty certain that he's not so, but you know,

904
00:45:22,800 --> 00:45:25,680
Speaker 1: anything could happen. He could get resigned in training camp

905
00:45:25,719 --> 00:45:30,360
Speaker 1: as well. So yeah, I think the priority there is Hankins.

906
00:45:30,480 --> 00:45:32,480
Speaker 1: I think Anthony Brown for me is such a question

907
00:45:32,520 --> 00:45:36,719
Speaker 1: mark and very similar to the Chuma signing with US.

908
00:45:36,800 --> 00:45:42,239
Speaker 1: Adding Gilmore just yeah, reassurance for sir. But I just

909
00:45:42,280 --> 00:45:45,719
Speaker 1: think as well thinking about the draft too. Like I

910
00:45:45,840 --> 00:45:47,760
Speaker 1: just it's a question mark for me. But I agree,

911
00:45:47,760 --> 00:45:50,319
Speaker 1: I don't disagree with anything you said. The last thing

912
00:45:50,360 --> 00:45:51,759
Speaker 1: I want to talk about, and I'm gonna go to

913
00:45:51,800 --> 00:45:53,959
Speaker 1: Aisha for this because you've been pretty vocal on Twitter

914
00:45:54,000 --> 00:45:57,759
Speaker 1: about it. Carlos Watkins is still unsigned, and I kind

915
00:45:57,760 --> 00:45:59,840
Speaker 1: of want you just to explain the impact that he

916
00:46:00,000 --> 00:46:02,120
Speaker 1: had because they don't think a lot of people recognize

917
00:46:02,160 --> 00:46:05,160
Speaker 1: what he brought to the table and why you think

918
00:46:05,160 --> 00:46:07,440
Speaker 1: that he was such a valuable part of that defense

919
00:46:07,520 --> 00:46:10,160
Speaker 1: last year, well number one, and if we're gonna just

920
00:46:10,239 --> 00:46:12,080
Speaker 1: be very frank about it, let's just be very frank

921
00:46:12,120 --> 00:46:17,279
Speaker 1: about it. Clintin Bohanna, Neville Gallimore, those gentlemen. I know

922
00:46:17,320 --> 00:46:20,399
Speaker 1: that Clinton Bohanna did dealt with some injuries last year,

923
00:46:20,800 --> 00:46:24,080
Speaker 1: and if you hadn't brought Carlos Watkins back, I don't

924
00:46:24,120 --> 00:46:28,040
Speaker 1: know what that would have looked like. Um he and

925
00:46:29,320 --> 00:46:33,040
Speaker 1: he and Hankins to me were your best middle of

926
00:46:33,080 --> 00:46:37,640
Speaker 1: the defense defenders as far as DT. And he also

927
00:46:37,680 --> 00:46:40,960
Speaker 1: just talked about being humbled by being you know, released

928
00:46:40,960 --> 00:46:42,880
Speaker 1: before and being brought back, and I felt like he

929
00:46:42,960 --> 00:46:44,920
Speaker 1: played with a chip on his shoulder. But he also

930
00:46:45,040 --> 00:46:47,480
Speaker 1: is a guy that we talk about. He has experience

931
00:46:47,520 --> 00:46:51,719
Speaker 1: within this system and knowing what DQ wants from them,

932
00:46:51,800 --> 00:46:55,280
Speaker 1: what Coach Dirty wants from them, And so I felt

933
00:46:55,280 --> 00:46:57,640
Speaker 1: like he was just such an intricate of the intricate

934
00:46:57,680 --> 00:47:00,520
Speaker 1: part of that run defense getting better because he just

935
00:47:00,640 --> 00:47:02,960
Speaker 1: knew his role and he knew what to do and

936
00:47:03,160 --> 00:47:06,600
Speaker 1: unique key role players. He was a key role player

937
00:47:06,840 --> 00:47:09,120
Speaker 1: and he played a big part in why the Cowboys

938
00:47:09,200 --> 00:47:12,200
Speaker 1: run defense began to uptick as the season went on.

939
00:47:12,520 --> 00:47:16,040
Speaker 1: With Quentin Bohanna and Neville Gallimore having some issues, you know,

940
00:47:16,120 --> 00:47:19,200
Speaker 1: really staying on the field and being productive. So I

941
00:47:19,239 --> 00:47:22,400
Speaker 1: just wholeheartedly feel like granted he did deal with the

942
00:47:22,200 --> 00:47:26,080
Speaker 1: it was it a calf in the forty nine ers game.

943
00:47:26,280 --> 00:47:28,799
Speaker 1: Early in the forty nine ers game, he dealt with

944
00:47:28,840 --> 00:47:32,160
Speaker 1: an injury. Maybe that has something to do with why

945
00:47:32,200 --> 00:47:34,239
Speaker 1: they haven't signed him yet. I do feel like he

946
00:47:34,440 --> 00:47:36,640
Speaker 1: is a guy that they do have a rapport with

947
00:47:37,080 --> 00:47:39,920
Speaker 1: that maybe there's not like a huge rush there, but

948
00:47:40,000 --> 00:47:42,560
Speaker 1: maybe there is some understanding. But he is a gentleman

949
00:47:42,600 --> 00:47:46,160
Speaker 1: I would love to bring back for for this defense

950
00:47:46,160 --> 00:47:49,760
Speaker 1: to continue to build upon. Yes, real quickly too. I's

951
00:47:49,760 --> 00:47:52,080
Speaker 1: looking at some of his stats. He played twelve games

952
00:47:52,080 --> 00:47:54,440
Speaker 1: in the twenty twenty two season and he had twenty

953
00:47:54,440 --> 00:47:57,240
Speaker 1: six combined total tackles, two of which were tackles for loss.

954
00:47:57,480 --> 00:48:00,680
Speaker 1: That equals out to his twenty twenty season and almost

955
00:48:00,760 --> 00:48:03,080
Speaker 1: equals out to his twenty twenty two season, his best season,

956
00:48:03,120 --> 00:48:06,359
Speaker 1: which was in Houston. He played sixteen games and had

957
00:48:06,400 --> 00:48:09,879
Speaker 1: twenty seven tackles during that time, four tackles for lost.

958
00:48:09,880 --> 00:48:11,680
Speaker 1: So you're not too far off as a drop off

959
00:48:11,680 --> 00:48:14,200
Speaker 1: from your best season with only playing twelve games this

960
00:48:14,280 --> 00:48:17,560
Speaker 1: last season. So again dan Quinn effect making these guys

961
00:48:17,600 --> 00:48:20,400
Speaker 1: the best players they can be a lot of excitement

962
00:48:20,480 --> 00:48:24,600
Speaker 1: for this Cowboys roster going into the twenty twenty three season.

963
00:48:24,760 --> 00:48:29,440
Speaker 1: As we know though, it's only Wednesday, and these Cowboys

964
00:48:29,480 --> 00:48:32,279
Speaker 1: made deals at eight am on Sunday morning, so will

965
00:48:32,560 --> 00:48:35,279
Speaker 1: tell you we will continue to monitor free agency. That'll

966
00:48:35,320 --> 00:48:37,680
Speaker 1: do it for this edition of Girls Talk, Boys Talk,

967
