1
00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:11,040
Speaker 1: The following is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com

2
00:00:11,080 --> 00:00:21,160
Speaker 1: and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club. This he is Talking

3
00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:25,760
Speaker 1: Cowboys Screaming live from the Dallas Cowboys World Hours at

4
00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:34,920
Speaker 1: the Star in fris Jolls, Got Tay and now your

5
00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:40,320
Speaker 1: hosts Isaiah Stanback, heck My Harrison, Rob Phillips, and Kyle

6
00:00:40,479 --> 00:00:45,600
Speaker 1: Yeoman's in this business, it is kind of easy to

7
00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:49,559
Speaker 1: lose track of just how much things can change in

8
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:52,040
Speaker 1: a week. Because if you'd go back to our last

9
00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:56,160
Speaker 1: episode here on Talking Cowboys presented by Geico, we were

10
00:00:56,200 --> 00:00:59,280
Speaker 1: completely at the crossroads. We were unsure of what was

11
00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:01,600
Speaker 1: going on. We were trying to figure out exactly what

12
00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:05,000
Speaker 1: the next step was going to be for the Dallas

13
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:10,080
Speaker 1: Cowboys organization. Well, now as we enter this Monday, March fifteenth,

14
00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:12,880
Speaker 1: we have an opportunity to say we know what crossroads

15
00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:16,560
Speaker 1: had been chosen. We know who our franchise quarterback is

16
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:20,759
Speaker 1: and it's Dak Prescott. Plus North Texas men's basketball's going

17
00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:23,319
Speaker 1: dance in the NCAA tournament, So I'm going to throw

18
00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:25,200
Speaker 1: that out there as well, get that out of the way.

19
00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:28,720
Speaker 1: So I'm pretty excited about both of those factors as well.

20
00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:31,280
Speaker 1: We've got a lot to talk about here on Talking Cowboys,

21
00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:33,760
Speaker 1: Glad You're with us, on Dallas Cowboys dot Com, and

22
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:37,760
Speaker 1: the various streaming platforms, Kyle Yeoman's, Rob Phillips, Isaiah Stanbacked

23
00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:41,280
Speaker 1: in the crate, heck my Harrison, and Rob it's crazy.

24
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:44,959
Speaker 1: The deal got done last Monday, and every other show

25
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:46,920
Speaker 1: has gotten a chance to talk about it so far,

26
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:50,040
Speaker 1: but except for us, we were the ones that were

27
00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:54,000
Speaker 1: early on Monday, And of course the deal happened right

28
00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:57,760
Speaker 1: after our show was concluded. So what are your overall

29
00:01:57,800 --> 00:01:59,760
Speaker 1: thoughts on the deal as we kind of get a

30
00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:05,040
Speaker 1: chance it's to finally dissected on this specific podcast. I

31
00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:08,720
Speaker 1: said this last week and I'll say it again. Everybody wins.

32
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:12,160
Speaker 1: The Cowboys win, they get the deal done, they get

33
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:16,720
Speaker 1: some precious cap space. Dak gets a massive contract, second

34
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:20,760
Speaker 1: highest contract basically an average per year in NFL history.

35
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:25,320
Speaker 1: The fans win. If if you wanted Dak resigned, you win.

36
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:28,320
Speaker 1: If you didn't want to resigned, hey you get something

37
00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:32,920
Speaker 1: else to complain about it. That'll be refreshing, right right Andy,

38
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:36,040
Speaker 1: And hey we win, We win because we you know,

39
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:38,440
Speaker 1: we had something to talk about up until the start

40
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:41,000
Speaker 1: of free agency. Which is basically today. And now it's done.

41
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:45,560
Speaker 1: It's a weight off everybody's shoulders. And uh, I'm surprised

42
00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:48,320
Speaker 1: it got done before the tag. I thought there was

43
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:52,960
Speaker 1: a chance based on rumblings before free agency, but I

44
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:56,000
Speaker 1: didn't think they would put it together five hours after

45
00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:58,840
Speaker 1: we got off the air. And I think it just

46
00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:00,880
Speaker 1: it just turned out to be the right time for

47
00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:03,920
Speaker 1: everybody because and really for the Cowboys to kind of

48
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:07,520
Speaker 1: segue into free agency, able to spread that money out

49
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:11,720
Speaker 1: and allow themselves to possibly be somewhat active in the

50
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:18,399
Speaker 1: coming weeks, if not this week. Well, I only got

51
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:21,560
Speaker 1: one word for that, man, and it is relieved. Was

52
00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:25,440
Speaker 1: relieved relieved when I saw the text from Isaiah saying

53
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:29,400
Speaker 1: that it was a done deal. Um, yeah, Isaiah, were

54
00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:32,240
Speaker 1: etched in history together because you let us know that

55
00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:35,200
Speaker 1: the deal was done. So you know, I'll just really

56
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:38,200
Speaker 1: happy to see that we were able to get it

57
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:40,400
Speaker 1: done and not get muddy the waters with this thing

58
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:43,320
Speaker 1: any longer. But I tell you, man, that the press

59
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:47,480
Speaker 1: conference on Wednesday was that that was the main attraction

60
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:52,960
Speaker 1: just of the some of the cringe worthy comments that

61
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:56,800
Speaker 1: came from the press conference. You know, Jerry admitting that

62
00:03:57,160 --> 00:03:59,520
Speaker 1: you know he's the only guy that he would take

63
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:04,040
Speaker 1: advantage of him. Things like that that came out about

64
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:07,280
Speaker 1: the money and Dak digging in and I really just

65
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:09,440
Speaker 1: you know, all jokes aside on that. Man. I really

66
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:11,480
Speaker 1: loved some of the things that Dak had to say.

67
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:14,120
Speaker 1: Pressure is a privilege. Man. I had to write that

68
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:17,640
Speaker 1: down immediately because that was definitely a quote to keep.

69
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:20,560
Speaker 1: I love the way that he handled himself and just

70
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:23,880
Speaker 1: knowing that he dug in, he dug in and wouldn't

71
00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:27,360
Speaker 1: move on principle of what he wanted for his contracting.

72
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:30,440
Speaker 1: I think for the organization just gives us a sense

73
00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:33,400
Speaker 1: of we're able to move forward. We can move forward now,

74
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:35,799
Speaker 1: we can all the rest of the I guess the

75
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:39,320
Speaker 1: proverbial dominoes can fall where they may because we got

76
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:41,680
Speaker 1: the biggest deal done and just really happy that this

77
00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:45,440
Speaker 1: doesn't have to linger any longer and Jerry and Stephen

78
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:55,840
Speaker 1: got it done. Yeah, finally it happened. No, I'm glad.

79
00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:58,640
Speaker 1: I'm glad everybody walked away winners. Man, I'm glad everybody

80
00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:00,440
Speaker 1: walked away winners. Obviously, there's a lot the guys in

81
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:03,000
Speaker 1: the league right now that are walking away winners, getting

82
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:05,720
Speaker 1: some of this money in their pocket right now, just

83
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:08,479
Speaker 1: because of the parameters of this season, in the in

84
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:11,880
Speaker 1: the cap going down. So super happy not only for everybody,

85
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:14,360
Speaker 1: but obviously super happy for a dat. He got his brand.

86
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:16,800
Speaker 1: Like you guys already mentioned, he sunk his feet in there.

87
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:19,120
Speaker 1: He got what he was due, right, he got what

88
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:23,400
Speaker 1: he was due. And unfortunately it took um you know,

89
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:27,880
Speaker 1: external pressures and external you know other other things that

90
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:31,080
Speaker 1: really applied pressure on the Cowboys, such as a cap

91
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:33,760
Speaker 1: and all those things that really added to this getting done.

92
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:36,880
Speaker 1: But you know, whatever is required, it happened. Now we

93
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:38,640
Speaker 1: can roll and now these guys got to figure out

94
00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:40,560
Speaker 1: how to make some more room. Obviously they're starting to

95
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:42,120
Speaker 1: do those things so they can go out there and

96
00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:43,440
Speaker 1: get some of these free agents that they need to

97
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:47,760
Speaker 1: solidify this team. Oh, Isaiah providing a perfect segue into

98
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:50,520
Speaker 1: what I really want to talk about next, and that's

99
00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:55,400
Speaker 1: those external pressures exactly. Uh, those external pressures kind of

100
00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:57,719
Speaker 1: forcing this deal to get done. You talked about the

101
00:05:57,720 --> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 1: salary cap. You also talked about how it needed to

102
00:05:59,880 --> 00:06:02,800
Speaker 1: be the first domino to fall, because that was really

103
00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:05,400
Speaker 1: what our conversations had been each of the last two

104
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:09,360
Speaker 1: weeks was we can't talk about free agency without Dak Prescott.

105
00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:12,159
Speaker 1: We can't talk about it without that contract and seeing

106
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:14,440
Speaker 1: what kind of piece of the pie that the Cowboys

107
00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:16,800
Speaker 1: would be allotting to their franchise quarterback. Well, now we

108
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:19,080
Speaker 1: know exactly how big that piece of the pie is.

109
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:21,400
Speaker 1: Still a pretty darn big piece of pie, but it's

110
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:23,919
Speaker 1: a little bit smaller than what they dealt with a

111
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:26,880
Speaker 1: year ago with the franchise tag. So, Rob, whenever the

112
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:29,039
Speaker 1: money comes in and you look at this deal and

113
00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:32,800
Speaker 1: now you have an opportunity to start talking to teams.

114
00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:35,479
Speaker 1: I mean, as of what thirty seven minutes ago as

115
00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:39,240
Speaker 1: we're recording this, teams can agree to terms to a

116
00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:42,320
Speaker 1: potential team. So now that you're looking at this money, Rob,

117
00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:44,839
Speaker 1: what is the next step for the Cowboys in free agency?

118
00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:47,599
Speaker 1: And where do they start looking because is this going

119
00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:49,960
Speaker 1: to be a discount offseason or do they have a

120
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:54,919
Speaker 1: little bit more to spend here. That's a great question

121
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:58,279
Speaker 1: because you know, the salary cap is always it's always

122
00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:00,440
Speaker 1: a bit of a moving target. You know, we've seen

123
00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:02,880
Speaker 1: projections all off season about oh, well, how much space

124
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:04,680
Speaker 1: might they have? Well, number one, we didn't know the cap.

125
00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:07,680
Speaker 1: We know the cap now it's just a little over

126
00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:10,840
Speaker 1: one eighty five and so I'm sorry, one eighty two

127
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:14,760
Speaker 1: five is what it is. So by getting this Dack

128
00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:18,480
Speaker 1: deal done, they're allowed to they're able to spread out

129
00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:20,920
Speaker 1: the hit. So really, instead of what would have been

130
00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:24,720
Speaker 1: thirty seven seven million on the franchise tag, it's going

131
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:26,880
Speaker 1: to be a little over twenty two. So when you

132
00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:29,920
Speaker 1: can look at it like they're basically saving fifteen million

133
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:33,400
Speaker 1: on this year's tag this year's cap, you factor in

134
00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:36,840
Speaker 1: the three restructures they did last week. We talked about

135
00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:39,400
Speaker 1: that the last few weeks. That's a possibility, still could

136
00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:41,360
Speaker 1: be a possibility. They could continue to do that if

137
00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:45,800
Speaker 1: they want to. But with Zach Martin, Tyrant Smith, Lyle Collins,

138
00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:48,440
Speaker 1: that opens up more space. I think. I think the

139
00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:52,120
Speaker 1: projection is they're about eighteen and a half million under

140
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:54,680
Speaker 1: the cap right now. That's good. You need to be

141
00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:56,800
Speaker 1: under you have to be under the cap by Wednesday.

142
00:07:57,280 --> 00:08:00,160
Speaker 1: I don't think that sounds it sounds like more to

143
00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:03,280
Speaker 1: me than it really is, because you have to budget

144
00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:06,960
Speaker 1: for your draft class that can be upwards of ten million,

145
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:10,320
Speaker 1: maybe a little less. Sometimes usually they like to keep

146
00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:13,400
Speaker 1: a little bit of a break glass fund, you know,

147
00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:16,480
Speaker 1: set aside a few million in the cap for injuries

148
00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:18,720
Speaker 1: that happen, things of that nature. So when you factor

149
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:22,800
Speaker 1: all that in there, they're a handful of million under

150
00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:26,120
Speaker 1: the cap. So to me, it's I would think they

151
00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:28,680
Speaker 1: need to maybe do something else, whether it's more restructure

152
00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:31,360
Speaker 1: or something, if they want to be active beyond just

153
00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:34,559
Speaker 1: going out in the market. Guys, they've got twenty something

154
00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:37,760
Speaker 1: plus free agents on their own roster, so I'm very

155
00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:40,440
Speaker 1: curious to see what happens. I mean, certainly some of

156
00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:42,960
Speaker 1: their guys. I'm sure they want to bring back. They're

157
00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:45,600
Speaker 1: going to have to bring back some guys, and I'm

158
00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:49,120
Speaker 1: just really curious now that the negotiating window has started today,

159
00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:51,840
Speaker 1: what's going to happen. You know, we're gonna talk about

160
00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:53,560
Speaker 1: that a little bit later, but how many guys are

161
00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:56,240
Speaker 1: going to settle for one year deals just because hey,

162
00:08:56,720 --> 00:08:59,280
Speaker 1: just bank on the cap going up next year, and

163
00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:02,840
Speaker 1: instead of instead of putting myself in a lower multi

164
00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:05,440
Speaker 1: year deal than I could normally get, just bank on

165
00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:08,520
Speaker 1: myself and sign a one year deal for less and

166
00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:10,599
Speaker 1: go get it next year. So that might help the

167
00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:14,600
Speaker 1: Cowboys ultimately beyond the first wave because I usually they're

168
00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:16,200
Speaker 1: not in that first wave, and it's hard to see

169
00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:22,360
Speaker 1: them doing that this year. Heck Man. Yeah, that one

170
00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:24,559
Speaker 1: eighty two point five is going to not only affect

171
00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:26,800
Speaker 1: that Dallas Cowboys, is gonna affect a lot of teams.

172
00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:29,840
Speaker 1: So they're gonna they're they're thirty one other teams that

173
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:32,680
Speaker 1: may not be able to keep guys that they if

174
00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:35,760
Speaker 1: the salary cap had been a regular football year without COVID,

175
00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:38,520
Speaker 1: may have been able to get guys signed. So there

176
00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:41,760
Speaker 1: may be a lot of talent here out on the

177
00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:45,240
Speaker 1: free market in just a few right, So with all

178
00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:47,400
Speaker 1: the with all of the guys that we're looking to sign,

179
00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:49,960
Speaker 1: one of the things that you have to ensure, you know,

180
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:53,240
Speaker 1: Will McClay and his staff are really, you know, closely

181
00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:56,320
Speaker 1: looking at the fact that there is some talent in

182
00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:58,400
Speaker 1: the free agent market. I know we're gonna talk about

183
00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:00,520
Speaker 1: that in a few but there are a lot guys

184
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:03,360
Speaker 1: that you probably wouldn't necessarily been able to get. You

185
00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:06,559
Speaker 1: talk about the number that the Cowboys have a free agents,

186
00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:10,840
Speaker 1: and that's a that's a lot. And when you only

187
00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:14,400
Speaker 1: have eighteen million plus the draft to try and choose,

188
00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:17,360
Speaker 1: you know, kind of divvy up those funds. I'm really

189
00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:20,000
Speaker 1: interested to see how they're gonna get dance around this.

190
00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:22,439
Speaker 1: And it may be that they're looking at other players

191
00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:26,800
Speaker 1: on other rosters to get that done with. Yeah, and

192
00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:28,920
Speaker 1: I'm with you guys, man, but but I think the

193
00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:30,800
Speaker 1: reality is I think Robber the heck of a job

194
00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:35,240
Speaker 1: really breaking down the financial positioning of the Cowboys. I mean,

195
00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:37,120
Speaker 1: these guys, the realities. These guys got about ten million

196
00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:41,319
Speaker 1: dollars to play with. Yeah, how it is? Yeah, if that,

197
00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:44,120
Speaker 1: how many guys can you get for that? You probably

198
00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:51,240
Speaker 1: get two, maybe three impact guys, not stars, you know

199
00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:53,719
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. So that's the reality. I mean, I'm

200
00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:56,120
Speaker 1: not there's a lot of great players out there obviously

201
00:10:56,160 --> 00:10:58,720
Speaker 1: that are skilled to play in this league. However, you

202
00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:00,920
Speaker 1: can get you an impact player for about five million,

203
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:03,400
Speaker 1: a guy who's gonna come in and have a real effect,

204
00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:07,440
Speaker 1: a star. You're going to spend your your whole little,

205
00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:10,760
Speaker 1: your whole little allowance on one person. Right, So when

206
00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:12,679
Speaker 1: we started talking about feeling up these spots, and that's

207
00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:15,440
Speaker 1: not even addressing to free agents, right, So there's really

208
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:17,640
Speaker 1: not much room. And like you guys already said, they

209
00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:19,480
Speaker 1: have to make a lot of other moves if they

210
00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:22,320
Speaker 1: plan on being active, if they even plan on feeling

211
00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:25,599
Speaker 1: out this roster. So I just kind of want to

212
00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:28,160
Speaker 1: play Devil's advocate here. I love doing that on this show.

213
00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:30,600
Speaker 1: But the cap has already shown that it can be

214
00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:34,280
Speaker 1: easily manipulated. I mean, there are plenty of ways for

215
00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:36,160
Speaker 1: you to either kick the can down the road like

216
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:39,040
Speaker 1: we did with Dak Prescott for three years, or you

217
00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:41,599
Speaker 1: can figure out a way to restructure deals, which the

218
00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:44,920
Speaker 1: Cowboys have already done with Lyell Collins, Zack Martin, and

219
00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:49,319
Speaker 1: Tyrn Smith. Those three offensive linemen already having their contracts

220
00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:53,000
Speaker 1: restructured to have saved you seventeen million dollars. So is

221
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:54,960
Speaker 1: there not a way to continue doing that? Rob, I

222
00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:57,640
Speaker 1: know you said that there was one more place, or

223
00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:00,400
Speaker 1: excuse me, a couple more things that they probably should do.

224
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:03,040
Speaker 1: I think Jalen Smith is on that list. I think

225
00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:06,199
Speaker 1: there's maybe a DeMarcus Lawrence on that list that could

226
00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:09,280
Speaker 1: maybe help you out contract wise there if you wanted

227
00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:13,679
Speaker 1: to restructure. But it is confusing from a money standpoint

228
00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:16,040
Speaker 1: because it's easy to manipulate the cap, but it's not

229
00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:19,440
Speaker 1: so easy to find that cap room for free agents

230
00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:24,040
Speaker 1: to go and signed. Right. Well, yeah, I mean they

231
00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:27,319
Speaker 1: you're right, they can create more room. They can they

232
00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:32,000
Speaker 1: can restructure Tank again. They could restructure Amari Cooper. Now,

233
00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:34,760
Speaker 1: the thing with that is, you know, if you were

234
00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:39,280
Speaker 1: to move on at some point from Amari, that's been speculated,

235
00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:41,720
Speaker 1: and I just I don't really I don't see that

236
00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:43,680
Speaker 1: as much as maybe other people do, just because he

237
00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:46,040
Speaker 1: had ninety three catches or ninety two catches last year

238
00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:50,040
Speaker 1: and he's your best receiver, but it's structured and very friendly.

239
00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:54,719
Speaker 1: As you move into future years, you restructure him, that's

240
00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:57,560
Speaker 1: not the case anymore. And so that's that's what you

241
00:12:57,640 --> 00:13:00,160
Speaker 1: constantly have to weigh with these restructures. But sure, they

242
00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:01,960
Speaker 1: can open up millions of dollars in more room if

243
00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:04,320
Speaker 1: they want to touch more deals like that. How so

244
00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:07,000
Speaker 1: it's possible, and I wouldn't rule that out, But I'm

245
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:09,600
Speaker 1: just saying right now they are well under the cap.

246
00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:11,839
Speaker 1: That's great, but they have a lot of work to do,

247
00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:13,640
Speaker 1: and they don't you know, they don't have a ton

248
00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:15,839
Speaker 1: of room when you really factor in everything they need

249
00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:18,440
Speaker 1: to do in the coming months. Rob explain this to me.

250
00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:22,280
Speaker 1: How does the rollover cap work? From a cowboy standpoint,

251
00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:24,440
Speaker 1: because you not only have that one eighty two point

252
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:27,880
Speaker 1: five as the pure salary cap, but the Cowboys have

253
00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:30,200
Speaker 1: close to twenty seven million actually a little bit over

254
00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:33,800
Speaker 1: twenty seven million that they have in rollovercap that from

255
00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:37,760
Speaker 1: twenty twenty could be allocated. But what does that do specifically?

256
00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:40,600
Speaker 1: Can you go through and explain exactly what that money

257
00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:45,680
Speaker 1: is over what the cap already allocates. That's confusing, and

258
00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:48,080
Speaker 1: I don't I think it has something to do with

259
00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:50,680
Speaker 1: dead money. It's it's not you see that number and

260
00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:52,680
Speaker 1: you think, oh, they have all that all that room.

261
00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:57,320
Speaker 1: They don't. It's it's hard to explain, but it's it's

262
00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:00,720
Speaker 1: what you're really looking at is what the actual cap

263
00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:04,319
Speaker 1: number is and what they're able to where they are

264
00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:07,679
Speaker 1: and before the before the deck deal, I think they

265
00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:10,200
Speaker 1: were still over the cap when you factor everything in.

266
00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:14,000
Speaker 1: So that got them, that got them underneath. You mentioned

267
00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:18,320
Speaker 1: the seventeen million or so from the three restructures, so

268
00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:20,920
Speaker 1: they're in a decent spot. You look around the league

269
00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:24,960
Speaker 1: and there's some teams that have a decent amount of

270
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:26,960
Speaker 1: cap space. I mean, there's some guys, some teams that

271
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:29,400
Speaker 1: can get out there and make some moves. So there's

272
00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:31,760
Speaker 1: gonna be. Like Isaiah mentioned, there's some guys at the

273
00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:33,560
Speaker 1: top of the market that are probably still going to

274
00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:37,240
Speaker 1: get their money. But I'm just really curious to see

275
00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:40,080
Speaker 1: how many guys who are quality players are like, man,

276
00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:43,960
Speaker 1: this is this sucks. You know, maybe I'll just take

277
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:46,200
Speaker 1: a one year deal here, or stay here on one

278
00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:48,680
Speaker 1: year deal and next year when the team, maybe when

279
00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:51,360
Speaker 1: the TV money comes in, or just when things are

280
00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:53,920
Speaker 1: better in the world, the cap goes back to where

281
00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:57,120
Speaker 1: it is or where it should be, and guys can

282
00:14:57,160 --> 00:15:01,280
Speaker 1: get what they're worth. I'm without there. I'm without said

283
00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:04,160
Speaker 1: on the fact that you know, no matter what type

284
00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:06,760
Speaker 1: of grocery shopping whatever, you got on that list, let's

285
00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:09,400
Speaker 1: have guys on there that are impact guys, Guys that

286
00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:11,560
Speaker 1: if they signed a one year deal, it's we're not

287
00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:14,120
Speaker 1: back to where we were last year. Looking at what

288
00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:16,760
Speaker 1: the heck did we do in free agency? Is why

289
00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:19,400
Speaker 1: is this guy able to back the brink truck up

290
00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:22,240
Speaker 1: at the start and get paid to go. You know,

291
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:25,320
Speaker 1: that's that's what we can't afford. And look, that's why

292
00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:27,960
Speaker 1: the Dak deal was so important, and we kept hammering

293
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:30,080
Speaker 1: that home that dude, if we don't get this done.

294
00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:32,760
Speaker 1: We're pretty much where you talk about eighteen million dollars

295
00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:35,680
Speaker 1: without the Dak deal and a franchise tag. We're less

296
00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:39,960
Speaker 1: than that and unable to really get anybody signed. We

297
00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:42,560
Speaker 1: know for sure, defensive line wise, we're gonna need to

298
00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:44,640
Speaker 1: get some help. Maybe we go into the draft. That's

299
00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:46,720
Speaker 1: the number one thing. But there are some other positions

300
00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:48,280
Speaker 1: on this team, and I don't want to say a

301
00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:52,920
Speaker 1: curse word like safety, but we're gonna have to explore

302
00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:57,280
Speaker 1: trying to get an effective guy that if he signed

303
00:15:57,320 --> 00:15:59,440
Speaker 1: a one year deal, fine, you know, but who is

304
00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:02,320
Speaker 1: that guy? Because we're gonna have to bargain shop for

305
00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:06,320
Speaker 1: absolutely for that guy. And the last time I check, man,

306
00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:09,920
Speaker 1: if you're shopping for guys on the bargain, you're really

307
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:12,800
Speaker 1: not gonna give much because you get what you pay for. See.

308
00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:16,040
Speaker 1: But isn't that what this offseason is gonna be, Because

309
00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:18,320
Speaker 1: that's kind of the question I asked early on. You

310
00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:22,040
Speaker 1: got the deal done, you restructured the offensive lineman, and

311
00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:24,360
Speaker 1: you have a little bit of extra space to work with.

312
00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:27,200
Speaker 1: That's great, That's all fine and dandy until you look

313
00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:29,880
Speaker 1: at Oh wait, I've got, like Rob said, twenty free

314
00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:32,880
Speaker 1: agents on my own roster. You're gonna have to bargain hunt.

315
00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:35,000
Speaker 1: You're not gonna be able to go be high spenders

316
00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:38,120
Speaker 1: in this free agency class. You're not gonna be able

317
00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:43,160
Speaker 1: to go hand pick guys like Patrick Peterson and Jadevian Clowney, Like,

318
00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:45,040
Speaker 1: You're not gonna be able to go get those guys

319
00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:48,120
Speaker 1: because you just have to find a way to bargain hunt.

320
00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:49,920
Speaker 1: But you just got to do it better than you

321
00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:54,840
Speaker 1: did in twenty twenty. No, I agree, and you're gonna

322
00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:58,600
Speaker 1: have to do that. And regardless of it, Like I said, Kyle,

323
00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:00,640
Speaker 1: you get what you pay for this league, and if

324
00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:03,160
Speaker 1: you're going out and you get you know, older veterans,

325
00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:05,800
Speaker 1: guys long in the tooth that are at the end

326
00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:08,040
Speaker 1: of their playing days and expect for them to come

327
00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:10,960
Speaker 1: to Dallas and rejuvenate their careers. We just got to

328
00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:14,560
Speaker 1: get out of that and actually get guys that can't

329
00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:16,840
Speaker 1: be effective. And I just feel like that whole bart

330
00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:19,359
Speaker 1: we're still in a pickle. We're in a pickle. But

331
00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:21,760
Speaker 1: the thing about the pickle we're in, everybody else is

332
00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:24,040
Speaker 1: in it too. So there are guys that teams are

333
00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:26,320
Speaker 1: gonna want to sign him because of the draft. Because

334
00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:28,760
Speaker 1: of the the cap being where it is, they're not

335
00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:30,119
Speaker 1: going to be able to sign him, and I think

336
00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:34,840
Speaker 1: that's where the advantage may be for the Cowboys. Well yeah,

337
00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:38,359
Speaker 1: and there this is their comfort level. Sorry, this is

338
00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:40,439
Speaker 1: real quick, This is their comfort level. They don't like

339
00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:44,159
Speaker 1: being top of market anyway, so usually they like to

340
00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:46,840
Speaker 1: pick their spots and I don't think they're gonna have

341
00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:49,280
Speaker 1: as much of a choice anyway this year. And and

342
00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:52,040
Speaker 1: you know, when Stephen was asked about it at Dak's

343
00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:54,320
Speaker 1: press conference last week, he did reference the draft. They

344
00:17:54,359 --> 00:17:58,040
Speaker 1: got ten draft picks now with four compensatory picks, and uh,

345
00:17:58,119 --> 00:17:59,840
Speaker 1: you know, it's hard to imagine all of them making

346
00:17:59,840 --> 00:18:02,719
Speaker 1: the team, but that might be the best way they

347
00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:05,240
Speaker 1: can add talent, you know. But again, there may be

348
00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:07,280
Speaker 1: some bargains out there and maybe guys willing to settle

349
00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:10,879
Speaker 1: for less. I mean, there's always a chance, right fellas.

350
00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:13,040
Speaker 1: I mean, there's alreays somebody who's out there really were

351
00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:16,640
Speaker 1: willing to take a little bit less than other. However,

352
00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:19,080
Speaker 1: you know, as as Heckman mentioned, I mean, everybody in

353
00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:22,480
Speaker 1: this league can play. It really comes down to if

354
00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:24,440
Speaker 1: you do go out there and get some of these discounts,

355
00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:28,000
Speaker 1: discount players. What is the coaching staff going to be

356
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:30,080
Speaker 1: able to do to bring that bring that dog back

357
00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:32,280
Speaker 1: out of them? Yeah, And I think that's that's the

358
00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:34,520
Speaker 1: fact that that's the thing that we're really overlooking right now.

359
00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:36,719
Speaker 1: It's not always just about Okay, the player just comes

360
00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:39,720
Speaker 1: in and it's supposed to just ball out these Just

361
00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:41,879
Speaker 1: because these guys professionals doesn't mean that they need they

362
00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:44,480
Speaker 1: need that. They don't need coaching, they don't need motivation,

363
00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:47,040
Speaker 1: they don't need a mentor to really get them, get

364
00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:49,200
Speaker 1: the best out of them if possible. That's why there's

365
00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:52,160
Speaker 1: professional coaches. So these guys there are there's a ton

366
00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:54,720
Speaker 1: of talent that's fully capable of playing in this league

367
00:18:55,119 --> 00:18:58,240
Speaker 1: that really has untapped potential that these coaches are going

368
00:18:58,320 --> 00:18:59,760
Speaker 1: to have to bring out of some of these guys,

369
00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:02,160
Speaker 1: maybe a guys on his roster already, maybe as guys

370
00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:05,160
Speaker 1: outside of his roster. But either way, these coaches have

371
00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:08,240
Speaker 1: their have their hands pull and getting the most out

372
00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:12,080
Speaker 1: of whoever they acquire. Dan Quinn has his hands fully,

373
00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:17,840
Speaker 1: yes he does. And there are potentials for dan Quinn

374
00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:19,880
Speaker 1: out there on the free agent market that could fit

375
00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:23,399
Speaker 1: into his system and really I think this defense is

376
00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:25,679
Speaker 1: one or two And this is gonna sound crazy, but

377
00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:28,680
Speaker 1: just based off of the injuries last year and how

378
00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:30,720
Speaker 1: bad they were last year, but the growth that you

379
00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:32,960
Speaker 1: saw on the backside of the defense, you're one or

380
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:37,719
Speaker 1: two studs dogs away from being a decent defense. I'm

381
00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:39,640
Speaker 1: not saying top of the league by any means. There's

382
00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:41,080
Speaker 1: a long that's a long way to go to the

383
00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:43,800
Speaker 1: top of the league. But being a formidable defense is

384
00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:46,080
Speaker 1: only one or two players away. And I think dan

385
00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:48,720
Speaker 1: Quinn allows you to do that. But now we get

386
00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:51,359
Speaker 1: to see are there any of those dogs out on

387
00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:54,080
Speaker 1: the open market. When we come back on Talking Cowboys,

388
00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:56,520
Speaker 1: we not only celebrate March Madness, but we give our

389
00:19:56,560 --> 00:19:59,359
Speaker 1: Cinderella picks. Who are some of those dogs at the

390
00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:03,200
Speaker 1: Cowboys would love to sign? We're done talking money, We're

391
00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:05,920
Speaker 1: done talking Dak Prescott contract. It's how is this team

392
00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:09,040
Speaker 1: gonna get better? When we return on Talking Cowboys? Presented

Speaker 1: That's true. I love Twitter. I think Twitter is a

460
00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:09,679
Speaker 1: lot of fun and there's so many fun people out there.

461
00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:11,719
Speaker 1: Now there's so many not so fun people out there

462
00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:13,880
Speaker 1: on Twitter as well, so it kind of goes back

463
00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:17,359
Speaker 1: and forth. But that's the problem. That's the point. You

464
00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:18,960
Speaker 1: kind of have to balance the two of them. But

465
00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:22,480
Speaker 1: let's see how the Cowboys are going to balance this offseason.

466
00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:26,000
Speaker 1: And we of course with March Madness and North Texas Dancing,

467
00:24:26,040 --> 00:24:27,720
Speaker 1: they're an official partner of the Cowboys, so I'm going

468
00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:29,320
Speaker 1: to talk about them as much as i want on

469
00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:32,919
Speaker 1: this show. That's fantastic. So I'm a proud North Texas

470
00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:35,040
Speaker 1: a lum as you can probably tell as I'm were

471
00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:38,760
Speaker 1: in the Green today. But there's also much madness and

472
00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:43,320
Speaker 1: in not only basketball, but there's March Madness in terms

473
00:24:43,320 --> 00:24:47,320
Speaker 1: of the free agency. So we're gonna kind of merge

474
00:24:47,359 --> 00:24:50,159
Speaker 1: the two of them, between the Cowboys and the NFL offseason,

475
00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:54,960
Speaker 1: and we're gonna get winners, losers, and Cinderella picks out

476
00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:57,800
Speaker 1: of free agency here on this show. And each one

477
00:24:57,840 --> 00:25:01,360
Speaker 1: of us has a secret pick of all three of these.

478
00:25:01,359 --> 00:25:03,919
Speaker 1: So we have not discussed this between the four of us.

479
00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:07,800
Speaker 1: We've kept these quiet. And the winner is basically somebody

480
00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:10,040
Speaker 1: you want the Cowboys to go sign, or that you

481
00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:13,040
Speaker 1: think the Cowboys will go sign. The loser is somebody

482
00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:15,199
Speaker 1: from the Cowboys that you don't think is going to

483
00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:18,119
Speaker 1: be on the Cowboys next year. And then Cinderella means

484
00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:21,119
Speaker 1: throw the money out of the table or on the table,

485
00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:24,159
Speaker 1: let's go get this guy, because this is my dream

486
00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:27,320
Speaker 1: free agent signing. So I'm gonna start things off, and

487
00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:30,080
Speaker 1: my start, I'm gonna start with my loser, and it's

488
00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:34,520
Speaker 1: Jordan Lewis or excuse me, Xavier Wood. Jordan Lewis was

489
00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:36,119
Speaker 1: my win at one point, but I switched it. So

490
00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:40,040
Speaker 1: Xavier Woods is my loss at safety, fourth year, five

491
00:25:40,119 --> 00:25:43,639
Speaker 1: career interceptions, and ultimately, I just don't think the money's

492
00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:46,000
Speaker 1: gonna be there enough for the Cowboys to bring him back,

493
00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:48,199
Speaker 1: nor do they really want him back. I think they

494
00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:50,479
Speaker 1: have better options out on the free agent market. One

495
00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:53,919
Speaker 1: of which is my win. A Kean O'Neil, former Atlantis

496
00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:56,800
Speaker 1: safety who played for dan Quinn, had a ton of

497
00:25:56,920 --> 00:26:00,840
Speaker 1: injury issues in the last three years, except in twenty

498
00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:03,800
Speaker 1: twenty where he played fourteen out of the sixteen games,

499
00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:06,400
Speaker 1: and he actually showed a little bit of physical prowess

500
00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:09,280
Speaker 1: toward the end of the season. I think he would

501
00:26:09,320 --> 00:26:11,240
Speaker 1: be one of those guys that you could get on

502
00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:13,560
Speaker 1: a bit of a discount because of the injury. History's

503
00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:16,480
Speaker 1: a former first round pick and he's played with dan Quinn.

504
00:26:16,560 --> 00:26:18,840
Speaker 1: He could fit that free safety spot right next to

505
00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:22,320
Speaker 1: Donovan Wilson. So he is my win, My Cinderella, throw

506
00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:26,200
Speaker 1: the money at him. How about Patrick Peterson out of Arizona.

507
00:26:26,359 --> 00:26:30,000
Speaker 1: I think Patrick p could be not only a good corner,

508
00:26:30,119 --> 00:26:31,879
Speaker 1: but you could switch him over to safety if you

509
00:26:32,040 --> 00:26:35,439
Speaker 1: really wanted to, Because of course he's toward the end

510
00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:38,880
Speaker 1: of his contract. Neil is only twenty six. Patrick Peterson's

511
00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:40,639
Speaker 1: in his thirties at this point, or at least closing

512
00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:43,200
Speaker 1: in on his thirties. I don't remember exactly what it

513
00:26:43,359 --> 00:26:46,280
Speaker 1: was so he is he is thirty one, But I

514
00:26:46,320 --> 00:26:49,080
Speaker 1: think Patrick p is somebody the Cowboys could bring in

515
00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:52,080
Speaker 1: as that veteran presence in the secondary that could help

516
00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:57,000
Speaker 1: grow guys like Treyvon Diggs, Anthony Brown, and even Donovan

517
00:26:57,080 --> 00:26:59,600
Speaker 1: Wilson back their communication. Wise, I think it would be

518
00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:02,879
Speaker 1: huge for Dan Quinn and that secondary. Thoughts on that one.

519
00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:06,879
Speaker 1: Heckma Neil is my win, Xavier Woods is my loss,

520
00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:12,800
Speaker 1: and then Patrick p is the Cinderella No I like.

521
00:27:13,160 --> 00:27:16,480
Speaker 1: I like uh Neil. I don't want to say Kennel rees.

522
00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:20,040
Speaker 1: You know I almost said the same thing again the replacement.

523
00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:24,639
Speaker 1: Uh So you know I like him as well, and

524
00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:28,040
Speaker 1: I think the familiarity with with Quinn I think makes

525
00:27:28,080 --> 00:27:30,360
Speaker 1: it a win for the Cowboys. And again you can

526
00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:34,720
Speaker 1: get him on the cheat the ACL injury. Hopefully he's

527
00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:37,399
Speaker 1: back from that. But he's a guy that when he

528
00:27:37,520 --> 00:27:40,640
Speaker 1: was recruited, well he was drafted in Atlanta, they had

529
00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:43,920
Speaker 1: the similarities between him and the free safeties and strong

530
00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:47,680
Speaker 1: safeties in Seattle. Never lived up to that, especially with

531
00:27:47,880 --> 00:27:50,280
Speaker 1: the with the injury. So he's a guy. I mean,

532
00:27:50,359 --> 00:27:53,520
Speaker 1: we talked about him weeks ago, being the familiarity maybe

533
00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:56,840
Speaker 1: someone that you get um. And also, I love what

534
00:27:56,920 --> 00:27:59,440
Speaker 1: you said about Pat P. I think Pat I've been

535
00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:01,879
Speaker 1: saying this for a while man that we have to

536
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:04,840
Speaker 1: get someone with that veteran leadership that's going to get

537
00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:07,400
Speaker 1: us over the home. So I like, so I want

538
00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:10,159
Speaker 1: to just I wanna There was a Twitter comment or

539
00:28:10,200 --> 00:28:12,840
Speaker 1: a periscope comment. We just talked about periscope and Twitter

540
00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:15,320
Speaker 1: a second ago, but he said Pat Pete is not

541
00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:19,160
Speaker 1: coming here with extra exclamation points and then the shrugging emojis.

542
00:28:19,440 --> 00:28:23,199
Speaker 1: That's the point. That's why it's a Cinderella because if

543
00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:25,119
Speaker 1: I if I thought he was going to come here,

544
00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:29,080
Speaker 1: this is like what was that ron? Yeah, this is

545
00:28:29,080 --> 00:28:31,320
Speaker 1: like Cleveland State making the Final four. Yeah, you know,

546
00:28:31,440 --> 00:28:33,359
Speaker 1: this is just like you know, this is like banking

547
00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:38,080
Speaker 1: on a thirteen seed to get in. This is Loyola's

548
00:28:38,120 --> 00:28:41,000
Speaker 1: Chicago making a run. That's what we're talking about with

549
00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:44,400
Speaker 1: Cinderella is here. So dream big is what I'm saying.

550
00:28:44,480 --> 00:28:48,080
Speaker 1: And that's why Patrick Peterson is my I think Neil

551
00:28:48,320 --> 00:28:51,680
Speaker 1: is more likely. I don't think Patrick p is likely

552
00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:53,680
Speaker 1: at all, and that's why I put him as my Cinderella. Rob.

553
00:28:53,760 --> 00:29:00,240
Speaker 1: What are your three picks? Oh okay, so I'll do

554
00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:03,520
Speaker 1: what you did, Kyle. Start with my loss. I'll go

555
00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:07,200
Speaker 1: with Cheeto as the loss. In free agency and We've

556
00:29:07,240 --> 00:29:10,000
Speaker 1: talked about this a little bit, former second round pick,

557
00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:13,640
Speaker 1: his pure skill level, even though he's had some injuries

558
00:29:14,080 --> 00:29:16,320
Speaker 1: and has struggled at times. I think there's a chance

559
00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:19,880
Speaker 1: he's got a deal out there that the Cowboys wouldn't

560
00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:21,760
Speaker 1: be able to match, or you know, just we talked

561
00:29:21,800 --> 00:29:24,720
Speaker 1: about their cap situation, so I'll go there as a

562
00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:27,720
Speaker 1: potential replacement. And again, like we talk about free agency,

563
00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:30,360
Speaker 1: trying to cover yourself for the draft too. When I

564
00:29:30,440 --> 00:29:33,440
Speaker 1: saw Casey Hayward getting released by the Chargers, that perked

565
00:29:33,480 --> 00:29:36,960
Speaker 1: my ears up a little bit over the weekend. You know,

566
00:29:37,120 --> 00:29:40,360
Speaker 1: he's thirty one, but to be thirty two was a

567
00:29:40,400 --> 00:29:42,480
Speaker 1: pro bowler a few years ago. I get that. I

568
00:29:42,560 --> 00:29:44,960
Speaker 1: get that. But he did play with Mike for Mike McCarthy,

569
00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:47,280
Speaker 1: did play for Joe Witt, So that one's interesting. And

570
00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:50,800
Speaker 1: actually the cornerback market is a little bit more robust

571
00:29:50,880 --> 00:29:52,840
Speaker 1: than maybe we thought because there's been a lot of

572
00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:55,000
Speaker 1: guys getting released. Maybe there's not as much money to

573
00:29:55,040 --> 00:29:57,120
Speaker 1: go around for all of them that could be Cheeto included.

574
00:29:58,000 --> 00:30:00,360
Speaker 1: But that one kind of stood out to me. Wouldn't

575
00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:02,400
Speaker 1: keep you from draft in a cornerback high. You know,

576
00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:06,520
Speaker 1: if if the value was there for you in the draft? Okay, Cinderella,

577
00:30:06,720 --> 00:30:09,080
Speaker 1: y way do I think this is going to happen?

578
00:30:09,160 --> 00:30:12,160
Speaker 1: But this is where I'm thinking. I have to stick

579
00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:14,320
Speaker 1: with what I've said. The biggest need on this defense,

580
00:30:14,480 --> 00:30:18,959
Speaker 1: and to me, it's a big, strong, disruptive nose tackle.

581
00:30:19,680 --> 00:30:24,960
Speaker 1: Give me Dalvin Tomlinson, the highest rated D tackle on

582
00:30:25,080 --> 00:30:28,200
Speaker 1: the market. He'll probably go back to the Giants. If

583
00:30:28,240 --> 00:30:30,760
Speaker 1: he doesn't, he's gonna get a deal the Cowboys wouldn't

584
00:30:30,760 --> 00:30:33,000
Speaker 1: be able to get involved in. I'm very confident of that.

585
00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:36,120
Speaker 1: But that's where I'm thinking, whether it's free agency or

586
00:30:36,160 --> 00:30:38,640
Speaker 1: the draft. I don't know how great a draft it

587
00:30:38,760 --> 00:30:41,360
Speaker 1: is Kyle at that position, it's not great. Maybe they

588
00:30:41,480 --> 00:30:44,400
Speaker 1: bring back Hand it's not great. Maybe you know, I

589
00:30:44,440 --> 00:30:46,840
Speaker 1: would expect him to bring back Antoine Woods or try

590
00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:50,160
Speaker 1: and restricted free agency. They like their young tackles there,

591
00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:52,360
Speaker 1: but I would continue looking to try to get some

592
00:30:52,520 --> 00:30:56,680
Speaker 1: help there. In the seventh round mock draft that I

593
00:30:56,800 --> 00:31:00,440
Speaker 1: put in or I submitted to the draft magazine this morning,

594
00:31:00,640 --> 00:31:03,480
Speaker 1: I actually had the Cowboys taking a defensive tackle in

595
00:31:03,520 --> 00:31:06,080
Speaker 1: the third round, so that I think that's such a

596
00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:09,360
Speaker 1: need for this organization and for that defense. Especially for

597
00:31:09,440 --> 00:31:11,920
Speaker 1: Dan Quinn to maybe try and help fix these linebackers

598
00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:15,120
Speaker 1: a little bit. It's huge. I think that's a huge piece.

599
00:31:15,160 --> 00:31:17,240
Speaker 1: But like you said, man, that would be a lot

600
00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:21,520
Speaker 1: for Tomlinson, like as the as the number one defensive

601
00:31:21,520 --> 00:31:23,920
Speaker 1: tackle that is, that's gonna be a hefty Cinderella move,

602
00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:25,479
Speaker 1: no doubt about it. But I don't think it's out

603
00:31:25,520 --> 00:31:31,320
Speaker 1: of the question though. You think this guy, Yeah, we're

604
00:31:31,320 --> 00:31:36,840
Speaker 1: just having fun. I like it. Heck, what are your three? No? Man?

605
00:31:36,920 --> 00:31:41,280
Speaker 1: Get no man, nope, nope no. I just called on you.

606
00:31:41,800 --> 00:31:43,920
Speaker 1: I just called on you, and you get to go first.

607
00:31:45,160 --> 00:31:49,560
Speaker 1: You go first because we're saving We got Isaiah, I

608
00:31:49,680 --> 00:31:56,040
Speaker 1: know you got. He got some joke. Your graphics are

609
00:31:56,080 --> 00:32:00,520
Speaker 1: pack go ahead. Made your three? All right? So Chris,

610
00:32:00,760 --> 00:32:02,680
Speaker 1: first of all, Chris Beams said that we could you know,

611
00:32:02,720 --> 00:32:04,680
Speaker 1: it was all the secret and we wouldn't be able

612
00:32:04,680 --> 00:32:07,440
Speaker 1: to pick the same guy. But then Rob goes before

613
00:32:07,520 --> 00:32:09,560
Speaker 1: me and he takes mine. Guys, So thanks for Rob,

614
00:32:09,680 --> 00:32:12,760
Speaker 1: as I had always do that to man always. I

615
00:32:13,080 --> 00:32:15,480
Speaker 1: how I like how the rules change as we go.

616
00:32:15,760 --> 00:32:18,640
Speaker 1: But it's all good. So I do have Cheeto as

617
00:32:18,720 --> 00:32:21,480
Speaker 1: my guy that I think is the odd man out.

618
00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:25,120
Speaker 1: But you know, there's you know, Alden Smith. I'm also

619
00:32:25,240 --> 00:32:27,240
Speaker 1: looking at him as well man because I think the

620
00:32:27,400 --> 00:32:30,120
Speaker 1: rest of the league has seen the production that he's had,

621
00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:31,960
Speaker 1: and I think he just may receive an offer that

622
00:32:32,040 --> 00:32:36,000
Speaker 1: we can't match because of his production in those earlier games.

623
00:32:36,120 --> 00:32:39,080
Speaker 1: But when I look around in free agency for guys,

624
00:32:39,480 --> 00:32:41,920
Speaker 1: Malcolm Butler is my guy that I would like to

625
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:45,960
Speaker 1: bring in. The reason being it's because he's a proven commodity.

626
00:32:46,680 --> 00:32:50,480
Speaker 1: Last year with Tennessee had five interceptions. I think that,

627
00:32:51,040 --> 00:32:53,080
Speaker 1: you know, first of all, there's going to have to

628
00:32:53,160 --> 00:32:55,840
Speaker 1: be some type of senior leadership in the back end

629
00:32:56,160 --> 00:32:58,280
Speaker 1: of our defense, and I think that's what we've lacked.

630
00:32:58,320 --> 00:33:00,880
Speaker 1: I think we've talked about bringing in Earl Thomas and

631
00:33:01,160 --> 00:33:04,040
Speaker 1: all of that went away. Don't don't do it, Isaiah.

632
00:33:04,920 --> 00:33:07,680
Speaker 1: But you know, when you talk about Malcolm Butler, he's

633
00:33:07,680 --> 00:33:09,760
Speaker 1: a proven commodity. He's a guy that you know, has

634
00:33:09,920 --> 00:33:12,920
Speaker 1: championship pedigree, and I think if we bring him in,

635
00:33:13,040 --> 00:33:17,960
Speaker 1: he'll fit nicely into that cornerback meeting room. Now, my

636
00:33:18,240 --> 00:33:24,080
Speaker 1: Cinderella is actually going to turn the draft show's carriage

637
00:33:24,240 --> 00:33:27,960
Speaker 1: into a pumpkin, because you're going to have to give

638
00:33:28,080 --> 00:33:32,160
Speaker 1: up the farm for this guy. But my Cinderella pick

639
00:33:32,360 --> 00:33:37,680
Speaker 1: is Justin Simmons from the from Denver. Look, guys, there

640
00:33:37,800 --> 00:33:40,520
Speaker 1: isn't there isn't a free agent and that free safety

641
00:33:40,800 --> 00:33:43,760
Speaker 1: right now that can match this guy's ball skills and

642
00:33:43,920 --> 00:33:46,480
Speaker 1: that's what we need. You know, the term ballhawk is

643
00:33:46,920 --> 00:33:49,560
Speaker 1: you so loosely, but when you turn on the tape,

644
00:33:50,200 --> 00:33:54,960
Speaker 1: he is closing on everything. I mean, great tackler, great teammate,

645
00:33:55,320 --> 00:33:58,400
Speaker 1: but man, just his ball abilities, I think single high safety.

646
00:33:58,440 --> 00:34:01,200
Speaker 1: You trust him back there. He's just you know, in

647
00:34:01,320 --> 00:34:04,120
Speaker 1: Denver's defense right now. He does it all. But again

648
00:34:04,200 --> 00:34:06,960
Speaker 1: you would have to give up two first and so

649
00:34:07,280 --> 00:34:10,359
Speaker 1: again I'm wrecking the draft show by going to That's

650
00:34:10,400 --> 00:34:13,560
Speaker 1: okay rickon next year's draft show too. Yeah, you're probably

651
00:34:13,560 --> 00:34:15,040
Speaker 1: gonna have to take both of them out of there.

652
00:34:15,280 --> 00:34:19,000
Speaker 1: Sixteen career interceptions, closing in on three hundred and seventy

653
00:34:19,080 --> 00:34:22,759
Speaker 1: tackles in just five seasons. You talk about ballhawk, and

654
00:34:22,840 --> 00:34:25,600
Speaker 1: that's what Justin Simmons brings to the table. I thought

655
00:34:25,640 --> 00:34:29,760
Speaker 1: for a second there that that Denver tagged Justin Simmons.

656
00:34:29,840 --> 00:34:31,600
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to look that up. They did tackle.

657
00:34:31,719 --> 00:34:33,879
Speaker 1: So you're talking about trading for this guy. This isn't

658
00:34:33,920 --> 00:34:36,399
Speaker 1: this isn't March madness in terms of free agent you're

659
00:34:36,480 --> 00:34:39,720
Speaker 1: wanting to Actually, that's why you're giving up the farm. Okay,

660
00:34:39,840 --> 00:34:41,399
Speaker 1: I get I get it now, I'm caught up. I'm

661
00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:44,160
Speaker 1: caught up, all right. Heck ma Harris, or excuse me,

662
00:34:44,480 --> 00:34:48,000
Speaker 1: Isaiah Stanback. We have put you last for good reason

663
00:34:48,160 --> 00:34:52,480
Speaker 1: because you came in guns of blazing to our WebEx

664
00:34:52,719 --> 00:34:56,800
Speaker 1: zoom call thing that we have as as saying that

665
00:34:56,880 --> 00:34:59,879
Speaker 1: you were gonna throw out the craziest name in terms

666
00:34:59,920 --> 00:35:03,040
Speaker 1: of Cinderella. If it's Tom Brady, I'm gonna give you

667
00:35:03,520 --> 00:35:07,000
Speaker 1: so much. Okay, well give me your list. Two are

668
00:35:07,040 --> 00:35:11,880
Speaker 1: your three guys. There's nothing, I mean, there's nothing crazy.

669
00:35:12,320 --> 00:35:15,719
Speaker 1: It's probably Cinderella. For me, is is very attainable, you know.

670
00:35:15,840 --> 00:35:18,000
Speaker 1: So I was like, think, who saw like the very

671
00:35:18,120 --> 00:35:20,680
Speaker 1: pretty girl. It was like, you know what, she's probably

672
00:35:20,719 --> 00:35:23,400
Speaker 1: out of my league, but I still have a chance.

673
00:35:23,840 --> 00:35:27,440
Speaker 1: You're saying there's a chance. Right, So we when we

674
00:35:27,520 --> 00:35:31,239
Speaker 1: talk about when we talk about losses, I think that

675
00:35:31,360 --> 00:35:34,879
Speaker 1: our loss wise, I think that we are going to lose. Um.

676
00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:38,200
Speaker 1: Of course, I just freaking blank out god, Oh you

677
00:35:38,320 --> 00:35:42,879
Speaker 1: got it, Aldon Smith Smith, Aldon Smith, I think we're

678
00:35:42,880 --> 00:35:45,440
Speaker 1: gonna lose Alton Smith, so I think all Smith is

679
00:35:45,440 --> 00:35:48,960
Speaker 1: gone um and I think at at the safety position

680
00:35:49,480 --> 00:35:52,800
Speaker 1: UM for a win for us, it's Keyan O'Neill. I

681
00:35:52,880 --> 00:35:55,000
Speaker 1: think we I think we can definitely go out there

682
00:35:55,040 --> 00:35:58,960
Speaker 1: and grab him. However, I feel pretty dog one good

683
00:35:59,040 --> 00:36:01,960
Speaker 1: about about our stronger safety position. A little young gun

684
00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:03,799
Speaker 1: we got out there, Wilson. So if we can't get

685
00:36:03,880 --> 00:36:05,239
Speaker 1: Kean O'Neil that, I think we can go out there

686
00:36:05,280 --> 00:36:09,120
Speaker 1: and get Ricardo Allen. So if we like him, I

687
00:36:09,160 --> 00:36:11,279
Speaker 1: think we go grab Allen. So depending on how those

688
00:36:11,320 --> 00:36:13,640
Speaker 1: guys feel about their secondary, you get one of those

689
00:36:13,680 --> 00:36:17,080
Speaker 1: two guys because he's experienced their experience and there and

690
00:36:17,160 --> 00:36:20,759
Speaker 1: they understand the system. Now, as we talk about Cinderella,

691
00:36:21,640 --> 00:36:25,480
Speaker 1: I'm going out there getting my dog kJ right out

692
00:36:25,520 --> 00:36:29,799
Speaker 1: of Seattle, kJ right out of Seattle. Reason being, kJ

693
00:36:30,160 --> 00:36:34,319
Speaker 1: is a dog, not d og. He's a dawg, right,

694
00:36:34,400 --> 00:36:36,400
Speaker 1: so that's how I spell a dog around here. And

695
00:36:36,640 --> 00:36:39,520
Speaker 1: he is a guy who was a great player, he's

696
00:36:39,520 --> 00:36:43,799
Speaker 1: a great teammate, a great citizen, right, and he understands

697
00:36:44,160 --> 00:36:48,120
Speaker 1: this program. He understands the system that Quinn is coming

698
00:36:48,160 --> 00:36:50,520
Speaker 1: in with I think that we're definitely gonna be running

699
00:36:50,520 --> 00:36:53,040
Speaker 1: a lot more for three. So I think that if

700
00:36:53,080 --> 00:36:56,439
Speaker 1: you had him out there that linebacker, and you had

701
00:36:56,600 --> 00:36:59,719
Speaker 1: the Wolf on Wall Street, and you had dog on

702
00:37:00,200 --> 00:37:02,200
Speaker 1: mister and missus shades him set off son of Shades,

703
00:37:03,880 --> 00:37:06,799
Speaker 1: I think that both the trio at that second level

704
00:37:06,840 --> 00:37:09,480
Speaker 1: would be absolutely amazing. Now, yes, you guys are gonna say,

705
00:37:09,680 --> 00:37:11,399
Speaker 1: we still have holes of feeling on the D line,

706
00:37:11,440 --> 00:37:13,600
Speaker 1: of course, of course, of course we got holes everywhere. However,

707
00:37:13,960 --> 00:37:16,520
Speaker 1: if you had those three at three hited monster at linebacker,

708
00:37:16,520 --> 00:37:19,040
Speaker 1: I think we all can feel pretty dug one good

709
00:37:19,360 --> 00:37:22,279
Speaker 1: about our second level and about our box, regardless of

710
00:37:22,280 --> 00:37:25,120
Speaker 1: who would eight throwing in there. So, looking at his

711
00:37:25,239 --> 00:37:29,880
Speaker 1: market value right now, his market values two years closing

712
00:37:29,960 --> 00:37:32,600
Speaker 1: in on fifteen millions, so about seven and a half

713
00:37:32,640 --> 00:37:35,279
Speaker 1: a year is probably what you would be allotting to

714
00:37:35,440 --> 00:37:38,560
Speaker 1: kJ right, I don't think that's necessarily out of the question,

715
00:37:38,719 --> 00:37:41,920
Speaker 1: especially if you see a need at linebacker arise with

716
00:37:42,120 --> 00:37:45,520
Speaker 1: maybe Sean Lee's retirement or whatever ends up happening with him.

717
00:37:45,960 --> 00:37:49,240
Speaker 1: If you bring back a guy like let's say Justin Thomas,

718
00:37:49,640 --> 00:37:52,320
Speaker 1: and you have kJ right in there as that rotation

719
00:37:52,400 --> 00:37:54,840
Speaker 1: with those four guys. I'd feel a lot better about

720
00:37:54,920 --> 00:37:57,440
Speaker 1: that than I did in twenty twenty about that position,

721
00:37:57,640 --> 00:37:59,600
Speaker 1: no doubt about it. And I don't think seven and

722
00:37:59,680 --> 00:38:03,000
Speaker 1: a half million to him is necessarily out of the question. Now,

723
00:38:03,080 --> 00:38:05,440
Speaker 1: Like we said earlier, there's gonna have to be some restructuring.

724
00:38:05,719 --> 00:38:08,160
Speaker 1: There's gonna have to be some kind of change in

725
00:38:08,400 --> 00:38:10,600
Speaker 1: terms of the money in order to get to that point.

726
00:38:10,680 --> 00:38:13,360
Speaker 1: But even though that's a Cinderella, I think that's a

727
00:38:13,440 --> 00:38:16,719
Speaker 1: pretty good little underdog Cinderella story that might make a

728
00:38:16,800 --> 00:38:20,120
Speaker 1: run to the final four there, Isaiah, Cinderella is a

729
00:38:20,239 --> 00:38:22,200
Speaker 1: girl that you can still get. You just gotta shoot

730
00:38:22,239 --> 00:38:27,040
Speaker 1: your shot. It's just shot. You better tell Kyle and

731
00:38:27,160 --> 00:38:31,000
Speaker 1: College to the shot boy talking about Mars Mannus, you

732
00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:34,239
Speaker 1: miss one hundred percent of the shot you don't take. Yeah, yeah,

733
00:38:34,400 --> 00:38:36,719
Speaker 1: yeah it is. I mean, but I like kJ wrighting

734
00:38:36,719 --> 00:38:39,800
Speaker 1: and you can't understate his value to those sensing to

735
00:38:39,880 --> 00:38:43,000
Speaker 1: the Seattle organization. Man, that would be big time for

736
00:38:43,120 --> 00:38:44,799
Speaker 1: them to lose him. I mean, he's been a stud

737
00:38:44,840 --> 00:38:47,640
Speaker 1: in that organization for a very very long time. So

738
00:38:48,120 --> 00:38:50,719
Speaker 1: you know, look, kJ wright that's one I really I

739
00:38:50,880 --> 00:38:53,960
Speaker 1: really like that and then also, h your winner. I

740
00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:58,319
Speaker 1: think that's obtainable. Also, So out of the the more

741
00:38:58,400 --> 00:39:03,200
Speaker 1: realistic one, go for it. Rob. Now I'm just saying

742
00:39:03,239 --> 00:39:08,880
Speaker 1: that that's probably that's a more realistic trio than probably

743
00:39:08,920 --> 00:39:11,399
Speaker 1: where we had. That's that's a good one. That's good.

744
00:39:12,120 --> 00:39:14,520
Speaker 1: That's kind of what my thought process was. And my

745
00:39:14,640 --> 00:39:17,040
Speaker 1: next question was gonna say, out of the four list

746
00:39:17,160 --> 00:39:20,120
Speaker 1: that we had, which one did you like the best?

747
00:39:20,200 --> 00:39:22,560
Speaker 1: In which one would fix the Cowboys? Quicker is my

748
00:39:22,680 --> 00:39:26,000
Speaker 1: thought process, And I'm not necessarily talking about the Cinderellas,

749
00:39:26,040 --> 00:39:28,320
Speaker 1: but I mean we've thrown Neil's name out there a

750
00:39:28,400 --> 00:39:32,720
Speaker 1: couple of times because of his familiarity with dan Quinn,

751
00:39:33,120 --> 00:39:34,800
Speaker 1: the potential of getting him on a bit of a

752
00:39:34,880 --> 00:39:37,719
Speaker 1: discount because of the injury history, but also not to

753
00:39:37,840 --> 00:39:40,640
Speaker 1: mention a high ceiling as a former first round pick

754
00:39:40,680 --> 00:39:43,440
Speaker 1: and somebody that of course was drafted to Atlanta because

755
00:39:43,480 --> 00:39:46,479
Speaker 1: of his similarities to what Seattle had when dan Quinn

756
00:39:46,600 --> 00:39:50,760
Speaker 1: was there. So, out of the guys here that we've mentioned,

757
00:39:50,840 --> 00:39:53,160
Speaker 1: which one do you feel like is the most realistic?

758
00:39:53,280 --> 00:39:55,600
Speaker 1: Is it Neil? Or is it more realistic to see

759
00:39:56,000 --> 00:39:58,280
Speaker 1: one of those guys leave the Cowboys like a Cheetah,

760
00:39:58,280 --> 00:40:05,880
Speaker 1: a Woozier and Xavier Woods or an Alden Smith. I

761
00:40:05,960 --> 00:40:08,520
Speaker 1: think all of those things are likely. Everything that you

762
00:40:08,640 --> 00:40:12,040
Speaker 1: just said is likely simply because by sure numbers and

763
00:40:12,160 --> 00:40:15,440
Speaker 1: cap hit, we may not be able to keep Cheeto.

764
00:40:15,560 --> 00:40:19,120
Speaker 1: And then again, other teams may covet his ability and

765
00:40:19,360 --> 00:40:23,000
Speaker 1: not give us an opportunity to to be able to resign.

766
00:40:23,120 --> 00:40:29,320
Speaker 1: But I like the uh Rob, the cornerback from San Diego.

767
00:40:29,400 --> 00:40:34,920
Speaker 1: What was this his last name? Hayward Casey Hayward. Yeah, man,

768
00:40:36,320 --> 00:40:38,359
Speaker 1: he's He's a guy that I've liked for a very

769
00:40:38,440 --> 00:40:41,279
Speaker 1: long time. And I think realistically, even based off of

770
00:40:41,400 --> 00:40:43,520
Speaker 1: his age and all of that, he's he's somebody that

771
00:40:43,960 --> 00:40:46,760
Speaker 1: you know, realistically we could get, you know, that wouldn't

772
00:40:46,800 --> 00:40:50,320
Speaker 1: be expensive at all, That may be more app to

773
00:40:50,440 --> 00:40:52,640
Speaker 1: sign a one year deal versus some of these other

774
00:40:52,719 --> 00:40:56,000
Speaker 1: guys that we've mentioned. So we got to and they

775
00:40:56,120 --> 00:40:57,279
Speaker 1: you know, they would have It would have to be

776
00:40:57,360 --> 00:41:01,120
Speaker 1: a situation where he's number one. The Cowboys feel like

777
00:41:01,160 --> 00:41:04,800
Speaker 1: he still played a high level too. Maybe he would

778
00:41:04,880 --> 00:41:07,320
Speaker 1: want to go somewhere familiar where I've played for this

779
00:41:07,480 --> 00:41:09,960
Speaker 1: coach and this coach and and it seems like a

780
00:41:10,040 --> 00:41:11,960
Speaker 1: good fit. I think it's a It seems like it

781
00:41:12,040 --> 00:41:14,799
Speaker 1: could be a possibility, but again it's just everything's going

782
00:41:14,880 --> 00:41:16,920
Speaker 1: to come down to money. And again, you can structure

783
00:41:17,000 --> 00:41:20,319
Speaker 1: deals in a certain way to make it fit under

784
00:41:20,360 --> 00:41:23,239
Speaker 1: the cap. You can do that too, but I'm very

785
00:41:23,320 --> 00:41:26,239
Speaker 1: curious the how it works. It'll be interesting because the

786
00:41:26,320 --> 00:41:29,920
Speaker 1: cap is manipulated enough to at least give you a chance.

787
00:41:30,000 --> 00:41:31,279
Speaker 1: But how much of a chance are you going to

788
00:41:31,360 --> 00:41:33,040
Speaker 1: get if you if you start bringing in some of

789
00:41:33,080 --> 00:41:35,680
Speaker 1: these big name free agents. So that leads us to

790
00:41:35,719 --> 00:41:38,200
Speaker 1: the question of what does the draft bring for this

791
00:41:38,400 --> 00:41:40,120
Speaker 1: off season. I want to check in with you guys.

792
00:41:40,200 --> 00:41:42,240
Speaker 1: It's been a little bit since we talked about the draft.

793
00:41:42,440 --> 00:41:44,479
Speaker 1: I want to see where you guys lie in terms

794
00:41:44,480 --> 00:41:47,359
Speaker 1: of draft strategy. When we come back on the other

795
00:41:47,440 --> 00:41:50,239
Speaker 1: side of the break. We've talked a lot about the secondary.

796
00:41:50,719 --> 00:41:54,279
Speaker 1: Is offensive tackle a potential in terms of the NFL Draft.

797

Speaker 1: Let's look at draft because the next couple big offseason dates.

857
00:45:20,120 --> 00:45:22,839
Speaker 1: Of course, today being a big offseason dates where teams

858
00:45:22,880 --> 00:45:26,560
Speaker 1: can officially start negotiating with these free agents and actually

859
00:45:26,600 --> 00:45:30,960
Speaker 1: agreeing to terms. Whereas the league year starts on Wednesday.

860
00:45:31,160 --> 00:45:34,399
Speaker 1: At what is it three pm Eastern time or three

861
00:45:34,440 --> 00:45:37,400
Speaker 1: pm Central time, four pm Eastern rom is that whenever

862
00:45:37,600 --> 00:45:39,719
Speaker 1: the league year starts and it's officially new year in

863
00:45:39,760 --> 00:45:44,560
Speaker 1: the NFL. Yeah, and hey, one quick free agency update

864
00:45:44,640 --> 00:45:48,520
Speaker 1: is we get going report from ESPN that Cam Irving

865
00:45:49,040 --> 00:45:51,920
Speaker 1: swing tackle Win Healthy is going to sign with the

866
00:45:52,000 --> 00:45:56,160
Speaker 1: Panthers twins and ten million. So that didn't take. So

867
00:45:56,280 --> 00:45:59,920
Speaker 1: that's that's an example, right, that's an example. Like Cowboy,

868
00:46:00,000 --> 00:46:02,440
Speaker 1: he's had Irving under contract, Yeah for like two and

869
00:46:02,480 --> 00:46:05,640
Speaker 1: a half million to be the back. I don't know

870
00:46:05,680 --> 00:46:09,319
Speaker 1: if you can have that luxury this year. Come on, Camy,

871
00:46:09,400 --> 00:46:12,920
Speaker 1: five minute happened to Cam? Good job getting your money.

872
00:46:12,960 --> 00:46:18,040
Speaker 1: He got that money money, he played it played a

873
00:46:18,120 --> 00:46:22,839
Speaker 1: total of what three games total with the Cowboys last year? Miss?

874
00:46:23,400 --> 00:46:26,400
Speaker 1: Yeah he missed ten games last year. Okay, yeah, I

875
00:46:26,440 --> 00:46:28,600
Speaker 1: think he started three or whatever it ended up being.

876
00:46:28,640 --> 00:46:31,080
Speaker 1: But yeah, no, I mean there's a luxury like you

877
00:46:31,200 --> 00:46:33,920
Speaker 1: talked about. No, that's great for him. I think you

878
00:46:34,000 --> 00:46:36,160
Speaker 1: need to look at tackle in the draft. And I'm

879
00:46:36,320 --> 00:46:39,279
Speaker 1: still gonna die on that that that hill. But I

880
00:46:39,400 --> 00:46:41,360
Speaker 1: want to go through these off season dates real quickly.

881
00:46:41,440 --> 00:46:44,279
Speaker 1: So the new league years starts on Wednesday, and then

882
00:46:44,280 --> 00:46:47,000
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks after that, on April fifth, that's

883
00:46:47,040 --> 00:46:49,640
Speaker 1: the start of the off season for new head coaches.

884
00:46:49,960 --> 00:46:53,320
Speaker 1: The nineteenth is the start of workouts for everyone. So

885
00:46:53,920 --> 00:46:57,279
Speaker 1: the NFL workouts we'll get started on April nineteenth. Last

886
00:46:57,440 --> 00:47:00,759
Speaker 1: day of restricted free agent signings is on the twenty third,

887
00:47:00,880 --> 00:47:03,319
Speaker 1: and then the last day to match those restricted free

888
00:47:03,360 --> 00:47:06,719
Speaker 1: agent signings is the twenty eighth of April, the day

889
00:47:06,800 --> 00:47:12,160
Speaker 1: before the twenty twenty one INFL Draft. So let's talk

890
00:47:12,200 --> 00:47:14,640
Speaker 1: about that NFL draft. And like I said, going into

891
00:47:14,680 --> 00:47:16,839
Speaker 1: the last break, it's been a while since I checked

892
00:47:16,880 --> 00:47:18,320
Speaker 1: in on you guys, but I want to see we

893
00:47:18,440 --> 00:47:20,680
Speaker 1: talked a lot about the secondary there. There was no

894
00:47:21,280 --> 00:47:25,840
Speaker 1: offensive line talk really no offensive talkund around any of

895
00:47:25,920 --> 00:47:29,080
Speaker 1: our March Madness picks. But whenever you look at this draft,

896
00:47:29,120 --> 00:47:32,719
Speaker 1: tak Mo, where are your priorities lying? Is it still

897
00:47:32,800 --> 00:47:37,120
Speaker 1: with going corner early on and drafting heavy defense throughout

898
00:47:37,239 --> 00:47:39,600
Speaker 1: the entirety of the draft? Do you want to sell

899
00:47:39,680 --> 00:47:42,200
Speaker 1: high on offense early and maybe pick up some of

900
00:47:42,239 --> 00:47:44,520
Speaker 1: those defensive guys in the next couple of rounds. Where

901
00:47:44,800 --> 00:47:47,000
Speaker 1: are you thinking? Whenever it comes to the Cowboys in

902
00:47:47,080 --> 00:47:55,279
Speaker 1: April twenty ninth. Yeah, I think you know, obviously, when

903
00:47:55,280 --> 00:47:58,560
Speaker 1: you talk about the defense, it was abysmal. And if

904
00:47:58,600 --> 00:48:00,920
Speaker 1: you're not looking at getting better on defense, than you're

905
00:48:01,000 --> 00:48:05,000
Speaker 1: lying to yourself. But if there's just I can't deny

906
00:48:05,200 --> 00:48:08,839
Speaker 1: this guy at ten staring you in the face, then

907
00:48:09,120 --> 00:48:11,560
Speaker 1: you gotta get him too. And I won't bore you

908
00:48:11,719 --> 00:48:14,279
Speaker 1: with any particulars, but I will say this that I

909
00:48:14,360 --> 00:48:17,400
Speaker 1: do feel as though defense has to be the priority

910
00:48:17,480 --> 00:48:20,040
Speaker 1: no matter what. And so there have been a number

911
00:48:20,120 --> 00:48:22,600
Speaker 1: of guys that's been thrown around, whether it be the

912
00:48:22,760 --> 00:48:25,840
Speaker 1: guy from the defensive lineman from Alabama. A lot of

913
00:48:25,880 --> 00:48:28,800
Speaker 1: people don't feel like bar Marshall gol at ten. But

914
00:48:28,920 --> 00:48:32,279
Speaker 1: it just depends on where we covet these players and

915
00:48:32,440 --> 00:48:35,200
Speaker 1: how they fit into the system. They're doing the interview process,

916
00:48:35,239 --> 00:48:37,400
Speaker 1: they're doing pro days and all of that right now.

917
00:48:37,520 --> 00:48:41,520
Speaker 1: But definitely cornerback, and we've talked about certain you know,

918
00:48:41,719 --> 00:48:46,160
Speaker 1: the cornerback from Virginia Tech. I'm born as a kid

919
00:48:46,480 --> 00:48:50,880
Speaker 1: from South Carolina. That's also excuse me, oh so stan

920
00:48:51,000 --> 00:48:55,320
Speaker 1: Alabama Farley Virginia born South Carolina. I just wanted to

921
00:48:55,400 --> 00:49:02,400
Speaker 1: clarify that. Yeah, so that's yeah, that's Joe also so

922
00:49:02,560 --> 00:49:06,239
Speaker 1: we got a few guys that come from that pro pedigree.

923
00:49:06,600 --> 00:49:08,719
Speaker 1: So either way, man, I just feel like you got

924
00:49:08,840 --> 00:49:11,319
Speaker 1: to go there first off with you with the number

925
00:49:11,320 --> 00:49:15,239
Speaker 1: ten pick. So you're still sticking with corner Rob. I

926
00:49:15,320 --> 00:49:19,880
Speaker 1: know you're mister bpa here is there any opportunity to

927
00:49:20,040 --> 00:49:25,040
Speaker 1: see Kyle Pitts or shots later? Are you against that?

928
00:49:25,160 --> 00:49:29,799
Speaker 1: Are you sticking with defense? Don't do it. I can't Heck,

929
00:49:29,880 --> 00:49:32,239
Speaker 1: this is for you. I can't do that. I can't

930
00:49:32,280 --> 00:49:36,040
Speaker 1: do that unless it's ceedee Lamb style, like best player

931
00:49:36,120 --> 00:49:38,400
Speaker 1: on my board at a tackle or tight end, and

932
00:49:38,480 --> 00:49:41,120
Speaker 1: I just can't refuse it. Ky, this is probably gonna

933
00:49:41,120 --> 00:49:44,040
Speaker 1: be the best player on your board, I will say,

934
00:49:44,239 --> 00:49:46,200
Speaker 1: is he really going to be there at ten? Honestly? Yes?

935
00:49:46,320 --> 00:49:50,479
Speaker 1: Like probably not, I think you will be I don't. Well,

936
00:49:51,440 --> 00:49:53,759
Speaker 1: I think if you want to be better this year,

937
00:49:54,400 --> 00:49:57,359
Speaker 1: and you just signed your quarterback to this mega deal,

938
00:49:58,000 --> 00:50:01,320
Speaker 1: you might want to get better at defense and try

939
00:50:01,400 --> 00:50:03,719
Speaker 1: to do something to help your defense. And look, I

940
00:50:03,800 --> 00:50:06,320
Speaker 1: saw Peter King say, hey, this might be a situation

941
00:50:06,400 --> 00:50:08,799
Speaker 1: where the top eight picks in the draft or all offense. Well,

942
00:50:08,880 --> 00:50:11,360
Speaker 1: then you put yourself in a position to draft the

943
00:50:11,520 --> 00:50:15,080
Speaker 1: best defensive player in the draft potentially. I like that idea.

944
00:50:15,320 --> 00:50:17,600
Speaker 1: I mean, and I see I see the other side

945
00:50:17,680 --> 00:50:20,280
Speaker 1: of it, like, well, maybe you just need your offense

946
00:50:20,360 --> 00:50:29,360
Speaker 1: to put up forty a game next year. So I back, yeah, offense,

947
00:50:29,440 --> 00:50:32,360
Speaker 1: and like and so okay, and that scenario, maybe the

948
00:50:32,440 --> 00:50:35,360
Speaker 1: Pits pick makes sense. But I just I just have

949
00:50:35,440 --> 00:50:37,759
Speaker 1: a hard time rationalizing that. You look at the roster

950
00:50:37,880 --> 00:50:39,839
Speaker 1: and say, maybe there's two or three positions where you're

951
00:50:39,840 --> 00:50:42,160
Speaker 1: just like they just it's not a need tight ends

952
00:50:42,160 --> 00:50:44,319
Speaker 1: one of them tackle you can talk me into. More

953
00:50:44,320 --> 00:50:49,279
Speaker 1: so than that, I say, where are you at? Yeah?

954
00:50:49,280 --> 00:50:50,640
Speaker 1: I agree with you, guys, man. I mean, I think

955
00:50:50,680 --> 00:50:52,600
Speaker 1: we have to address defense. I think if ran in

956
00:50:52,640 --> 00:50:54,400
Speaker 1: a position to get one of these top three corners,

957
00:50:54,440 --> 00:50:56,160
Speaker 1: and you gonna grab one of these top three corners,

958
00:50:56,280 --> 00:50:58,560
Speaker 1: you develop them. Um, if you don't have a position,

959
00:50:58,600 --> 00:51:00,160
Speaker 1: I have opportunity to grab one of those guys in

960
00:51:00,239 --> 00:51:02,960
Speaker 1: United to grab yourself as a defensive alignment or office alignment.

961
00:51:03,239 --> 00:51:05,560
Speaker 1: I think that our tackles probably have another couple of

962
00:51:05,640 --> 00:51:07,440
Speaker 1: years left in them, So if you're not planning for

963
00:51:07,480 --> 00:51:10,600
Speaker 1: their replacement, then you're planning to fail. So um, I

964
00:51:10,680 --> 00:51:14,680
Speaker 1: think's Dak's current contracts will He'll be playing longer underneath

965
00:51:14,760 --> 00:51:18,040
Speaker 1: this new contract than your officive tackles will will be

966
00:51:18,120 --> 00:51:20,319
Speaker 1: playing in this league. So I think that you need

967
00:51:20,360 --> 00:51:21,600
Speaker 1: to go out there and if you have, if you're

968
00:51:21,640 --> 00:51:24,320
Speaker 1: in a position to grab those guys, you know Smith's

969
00:51:24,360 --> 00:51:30,759
Speaker 1: replacement right now? Yeah, you go ahead. He sorry, I

970
00:51:30,880 --> 00:51:32,520
Speaker 1: just wanted to say that, you know, you're right, And

971
00:51:32,600 --> 00:51:35,200
Speaker 1: I think as far as the top, you know, top

972
00:51:35,280 --> 00:51:38,120
Speaker 1: thirty two guys, that's that's something to be talked about.

973
00:51:38,200 --> 00:51:41,399
Speaker 1: But also it's really going to be important rounds two

974
00:51:41,560 --> 00:51:44,399
Speaker 1: through five if there's so so much talent in there

975
00:51:44,440 --> 00:51:47,200
Speaker 1: and because guys opted out and you didn't get a

976
00:51:47,480 --> 00:51:49,759
Speaker 1: chance to see them playing in twenty twenty, that's where

977
00:51:49,760 --> 00:51:52,120
Speaker 1: I think there's really gonna be a challenge for a

978
00:51:52,239 --> 00:51:55,120
Speaker 1: lot of scouting departments because there's so much talent in

979
00:51:55,280 --> 00:51:59,160
Speaker 1: there with guys that didn't play last year. That's a

980
00:51:59,239 --> 00:52:03,479
Speaker 1: great point. Yeah, for sure. Yeah, Kyle had a question

981
00:52:03,560 --> 00:52:06,600
Speaker 1: for you, Yeah about offensive tackle. At what point do

982
00:52:06,680 --> 00:52:09,640
Speaker 1: you think it just tops out this year in terms

983
00:52:09,680 --> 00:52:11,200
Speaker 1: of town because it seems like there's a lot of

984
00:52:11,280 --> 00:52:14,880
Speaker 1: guys in this class that are good enough to be

985
00:52:15,000 --> 00:52:19,120
Speaker 1: picked in the top two rounds. Yeah, but can you

986
00:52:19,239 --> 00:52:22,040
Speaker 1: wait past that and still get a future starter potentially,

987
00:52:22,760 --> 00:52:27,320
Speaker 1: I would probably say midway through the third so probably

988
00:52:27,440 --> 00:52:30,520
Speaker 1: top what would that be, top seventy five players, So

989
00:52:30,800 --> 00:52:33,120
Speaker 1: the Cowboys have three picks in the top seventy five,

990
00:52:33,600 --> 00:52:38,080
Speaker 1: I think you could probably get a starting caliber offensive tackle.

991
00:52:38,239 --> 00:52:40,480
Speaker 1: By starting caliber, I mean can be a starter in

992
00:52:40,520 --> 00:52:44,040
Speaker 1: the next two or three years, because Pine sul w

993
00:52:44,120 --> 00:52:48,000
Speaker 1: Shaons later, Christian Darisaul all three year starters right now.

994
00:52:48,120 --> 00:52:50,920
Speaker 1: They'll be the best lineman on a lot of rosters

995
00:52:51,040 --> 00:52:53,799
Speaker 1: right now. And I'm not saying maybe the Cowboys roster

996
00:52:53,920 --> 00:52:56,600
Speaker 1: because you've have Zach Martin, you have Lyle Collins hopefully

997
00:52:57,080 --> 00:53:00,439
Speaker 1: healthy with him, and Tyron Smith. I would put those

998
00:53:00,520 --> 00:53:02,759
Speaker 1: three guys up against any other offensive line in the

999
00:53:02,840 --> 00:53:06,000
Speaker 1: country with Deris all Slater and Sewell. But after that

1000
00:53:06,200 --> 00:53:08,920
Speaker 1: then you have kind of a jumble of players like

1001
00:53:09,440 --> 00:53:12,879
Speaker 1: a Dylan Redunds and Alex Leatherwood. Redunds out of North

1002
00:53:13,320 --> 00:53:16,480
Speaker 1: Dakota State, Alex Leatherwood's out of Alabama, Lee and Eikenberg

1003
00:53:17,440 --> 00:53:22,000
Speaker 1: from Notre Dame, Spencer Brown Northern Iowa, Jalen Mayfield from Michigan.

1004
00:53:22,080 --> 00:53:25,640
Speaker 1: There are guys there that you could potentially draft Walker Little,

1005
00:53:25,640 --> 00:53:27,520
Speaker 1: who was an opt out out of Stanford who's just

1006
00:53:27,680 --> 00:53:31,920
Speaker 1: unbelievably talented. From a physical standboy, he's built like a fridge,

1007
00:53:32,719 --> 00:53:35,239
Speaker 1: but he's had some off the field issues. He's a

1008
00:53:35,520 --> 00:53:39,680
Speaker 1: twenty twenty opt out. Maybe he falls a little bit

1009
00:53:39,719 --> 00:53:41,720
Speaker 1: and you can maybe snag him. I think he's certainly

1010
00:53:42,120 --> 00:53:45,480
Speaker 1: a starter in caliber offen to tackle. But my biggest

1011
00:53:45,560 --> 00:53:48,480
Speaker 1: thing here is with those three guys up at the

1012
00:53:48,520 --> 00:53:51,279
Speaker 1: top that I mentioned that are starters right now, I

1013
00:53:51,400 --> 00:53:53,360
Speaker 1: think you sell high on those guys kind of like

1014
00:53:53,440 --> 00:53:56,839
Speaker 1: what Isaiah is saying is pick a premium position at

1015
00:53:56,880 --> 00:53:59,200
Speaker 1: a premium spot, and that's what number ten is. That's

1016
00:53:59,200 --> 00:54:02,440
Speaker 1: a premium spot. Go pick a position that's going to

1017
00:54:02,480 --> 00:54:05,280
Speaker 1: invest in keeping Dak Prescott on his feet and upright.

1018
00:54:05,719 --> 00:54:08,480
Speaker 1: Whereas the offensive line was the biggest storyline in twenty

1019
00:54:08,600 --> 00:54:11,799
Speaker 1: twenty outside of the Dak injury, because nobody could stay

1020
00:54:11,880 --> 00:54:14,080
Speaker 1: up right. Andy Dalton was running for his life. We

1021
00:54:14,120 --> 00:54:16,880
Speaker 1: saw what happened when Benda Nucci came in, Garrett Gilbert

1022
00:54:17,000 --> 00:54:18,800
Speaker 1: came in as well, because guess what, you had to

1023
00:54:18,920 --> 00:54:21,719
Speaker 1: use four different quarterbacks because your offensive line couldn't keep

1024
00:54:21,760 --> 00:54:25,960
Speaker 1: anybody up right. So I think you invest heavily had

1025
00:54:26,040 --> 00:54:29,799
Speaker 1: offensive tackle, and then you address the cornerback, the secondary,

1026
00:54:30,200 --> 00:54:33,320
Speaker 1: maybe even the defensive line in rounds two through five,

1027
00:54:33,480 --> 00:54:35,560
Speaker 1: like Heck was talking about, because I think there's just

1028
00:54:35,800 --> 00:54:39,279
Speaker 1: more guys there that can be starters at this moment

1029
00:54:39,360 --> 00:54:42,520
Speaker 1: than there are as offensive tackles in those middle rounds.

1030
00:54:44,080 --> 00:54:47,000
Speaker 1: I don't I don't disagree. The only thing I would say, though,

1031
00:54:47,080 --> 00:54:48,840
Speaker 1: I guess I do disagree a little bit in that

1032
00:54:50,440 --> 00:54:54,120
Speaker 1: Let's say you're even let's say you're not confident in

1033
00:54:54,320 --> 00:54:59,560
Speaker 1: night and Steel to take over for camp, I'm not. Maybe, well, okay,

1034
00:54:59,640 --> 00:55:04,400
Speaker 1: if you and you're not, and your best option anyway

1035
00:55:04,840 --> 00:55:06,920
Speaker 1: might be to do what you finally got around to

1036
00:55:06,960 --> 00:55:09,400
Speaker 1: doing last year, And that's if there's a problem at tackle,

1037
00:55:09,760 --> 00:55:12,680
Speaker 1: Zach Martin's your right tackle or your left tackle, and

1038
00:55:13,239 --> 00:55:17,320
Speaker 1: use your better depth inside to fill in that second

1039
00:55:17,360 --> 00:55:20,280
Speaker 1: spot at right guard. That's what I would do. Connor

1040
00:55:20,320 --> 00:55:23,600
Speaker 1: Williams can also play tackle in a pinch. I'm confident

1041
00:55:23,640 --> 00:55:26,560
Speaker 1: of that. The other thing too, and maybe the Cowboys

1042
00:55:26,600 --> 00:55:28,720
Speaker 1: just had to do this because they had to create space.

1043
00:55:29,200 --> 00:55:33,080
Speaker 1: The fact that they were willing to touch Lyle's contract

1044
00:55:33,200 --> 00:55:37,160
Speaker 1: and Tyrone's contract and push more money into future years

1045
00:55:37,239 --> 00:55:40,680
Speaker 1: with those restructures. It does tell me, and we've kind

1046
00:55:40,719 --> 00:55:43,760
Speaker 1: of heard this too, that they're doing well in their rehab.

1047
00:55:44,040 --> 00:55:46,480
Speaker 1: So I mean, I'm just thinking, like Isaiah said, you know,

1048
00:55:47,239 --> 00:55:50,279
Speaker 1: many years down the road, long term, you may have

1049
00:55:50,360 --> 00:55:53,960
Speaker 1: to start looking. But for this year, that tells me

1050
00:55:54,080 --> 00:55:56,200
Speaker 1: they think they're going to be fine for twenty twenty one.

1051
00:55:56,520 --> 00:55:58,560
Speaker 1: And if I'm trying to win, now, that's why I'm

1052
00:55:58,600 --> 00:56:01,799
Speaker 1: thinking defense first. But I mean, that's that's right, that's

1053
00:56:01,920 --> 00:56:04,759
Speaker 1: right now, right, So like right, that's I mean, we

1054
00:56:04,880 --> 00:56:08,320
Speaker 1: know what's behind them or what's not behind them. Not

1055
00:56:09,840 --> 00:56:12,200
Speaker 1: no just no right, no disrespect. So I mean, if

1056
00:56:12,200 --> 00:56:14,080
Speaker 1: you're if you have an opportunity, so I'm with you.

1057
00:56:14,239 --> 00:56:17,320
Speaker 1: I'm with you, Rob. We need to get a D lineman. Yes, However,

1058
00:56:17,880 --> 00:56:21,479
Speaker 1: if there's an amazing tackle, you know, to to Kyle's point,

1059
00:56:21,680 --> 00:56:24,239
Speaker 1: if there's an amazing tackle, grab them because there's not

1060
00:56:24,320 --> 00:56:26,560
Speaker 1: that many of them. Yeah. Right, that's probably the hardest

1061
00:56:27,320 --> 00:56:31,000
Speaker 1: quarterback quarterback in officsive tackle or probably the two hardest

1062
00:56:31,040 --> 00:56:34,319
Speaker 1: positions to be right on, agreed, fair, It's just that's

1063
00:56:34,400 --> 00:56:36,879
Speaker 1: that's just in the entire league. There's that's the two

1064
00:56:36,960 --> 00:56:39,080
Speaker 1: hardest positions to make sure that you have, and that's

1065
00:56:39,120 --> 00:56:41,440
Speaker 1: the reason why those guys get paid the most. Right,

1066
00:56:41,560 --> 00:56:44,520
Speaker 1: you can find a edge rusher, you can find good linebackers,

1067
00:56:44,520 --> 00:56:47,320
Speaker 1: you can find dbs, find receivers, running backs, all that.

1068
00:56:47,680 --> 00:56:49,719
Speaker 1: When it comes down to quarterbacks, we see what's going

1069
00:56:49,760 --> 00:56:52,759
Speaker 1: on there and officsive tackles. They play forever, and they

1070
00:56:52,800 --> 00:56:55,960
Speaker 1: still demand high dollar because you can't just teach that.

1071
00:56:56,640 --> 00:57:00,240
Speaker 1: So you need to grab it if it's there, because

1072
00:57:00,280 --> 00:57:02,840
Speaker 1: these guys are I mean how, I mean how many more?

1073
00:57:02,920 --> 00:57:05,040
Speaker 1: How many more years? You guys say he's gonna play two?

1074
00:57:05,560 --> 00:57:07,879
Speaker 1: He's a young thirty. He may be able to play

1075
00:57:07,920 --> 00:57:10,640
Speaker 1: two or three. Yeah, two more. They're hoping it's more

1076
00:57:10,680 --> 00:57:13,080
Speaker 1: than that because because if he if he doesn't, then

1077
00:57:13,200 --> 00:57:16,200
Speaker 1: the dead money on his contracts gonna be insane. Yeah,

1078
00:57:17,480 --> 00:57:20,680
Speaker 1: he can he play more? Probably will he play more?

1079
00:57:21,120 --> 00:57:23,280
Speaker 1: I don't think so. I think he gonna play two

1080
00:57:23,280 --> 00:57:25,960
Speaker 1: more years and shut it down. So, but you need it,

1081
00:57:26,000 --> 00:57:28,200
Speaker 1: you need to have his replacement ready. Shut it down

1082
00:57:28,320 --> 00:57:32,000
Speaker 1: a big man. I love what you what you're saying, Isaiah,

1083
00:57:32,000 --> 00:57:34,479
Speaker 1: and I think that's right. And obviously we all hope

1084
00:57:34,520 --> 00:57:37,240
Speaker 1: that Tyren Smith is healthy for the twenty twenty one season.

1085
00:57:37,560 --> 00:57:39,960
Speaker 1: But we've learned that that hope is not a strategy

1086
00:57:40,080 --> 00:57:42,520
Speaker 1: when it comes down to the health of our tackles. Yea,

1087
00:57:42,640 --> 00:57:45,240
Speaker 1: and we have to get we have to find a

1088
00:57:45,320 --> 00:57:48,960
Speaker 1: way to shore up the swing tackle position. And that's

1089
00:57:49,040 --> 00:57:51,480
Speaker 1: why if a guy like Slater presents himself at ten

1090
00:57:51,920 --> 00:57:54,720
Speaker 1: and I cringe because I knew he struggs is over

1091
00:57:54,840 --> 00:57:57,920
Speaker 1: this shoulder right here. That's why I'm like, man, we

1092
00:57:58,200 --> 00:58:01,360
Speaker 1: may captain. We may have to do that because later

1093
00:58:01,520 --> 00:58:03,440
Speaker 1: is a guy that not only can't he play the

1094
00:58:03,520 --> 00:58:06,880
Speaker 1: left tackle position if that, you know, again health wise

1095
00:58:07,000 --> 00:58:09,720
Speaker 1: becomes available, he's also a guy that you can slide

1096
00:58:09,760 --> 00:58:13,600
Speaker 1: into a guard position as a starter. So it's it's

1097
00:58:13,640 --> 00:58:15,840
Speaker 1: just what it is. You have to look at that

1098
00:58:16,760 --> 00:58:20,720
Speaker 1: and again planning to succeed and not to fail. Still

1099
00:58:20,920 --> 00:58:22,919
Speaker 1: had to learn on the job. He may be better

1100
00:58:23,000 --> 00:58:24,720
Speaker 1: this year because of what he had to go through

1101
00:58:24,880 --> 00:58:27,280
Speaker 1: and what OTAs may do for him as well. But

1102
00:58:27,400 --> 00:58:29,840
Speaker 1: I think the same things that we're facing and talking

1103
00:58:29,880 --> 00:58:32,160
Speaker 1: about free agency, there are going to be a lot

1104
00:58:32,200 --> 00:58:34,600
Speaker 1: of swing tackles out there on the market, you know.

1105
00:58:34,760 --> 00:58:37,680
Speaker 1: So we lost cam Irvin, but there's there are a

1106
00:58:37,720 --> 00:58:40,480
Speaker 1: few other guys out there that may present themselves in

1107
00:58:40,560 --> 00:58:42,360
Speaker 1: the next coming weeks that we can sign and get

1108
00:58:42,360 --> 00:58:44,760
Speaker 1: a good deal on them. I'm not worried about picking

1109
00:58:44,880 --> 00:58:48,040
Speaker 1: up a backup swing tackle. I'm not really worried about that.

1110
00:58:48,120 --> 00:58:52,040
Speaker 1: I'm worried about replacing the offensive line that you've invested

1111
00:58:52,160 --> 00:58:56,400
Speaker 1: already so heavily in to protect the investments that you

1112
00:58:56,480 --> 00:58:59,480
Speaker 1: have invested so heavily in on offense, including your quarterback,

1113
00:58:59,680 --> 00:59:03,200
Speaker 1: you're running back, and three different wide receivers. And yeah,

1114
00:59:03,480 --> 00:59:06,320
Speaker 1: so I'm I'm just saying there are so many investments

1115
00:59:06,360 --> 00:59:08,400
Speaker 1: on that side of the football that if you put

1116
00:59:08,480 --> 00:59:12,640
Speaker 1: a below average and buy below average, I mean, one

1117
00:59:12,680 --> 00:59:15,480
Speaker 1: of the league worst offensive lines back out there in

1118
00:59:15,600 --> 00:59:18,560
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one if the health doesn't stand up. Because,

1119
00:59:18,600 --> 00:59:21,040
Speaker 1: like Isaiah said, hope is not the right kind of

1120
00:59:21,080 --> 00:59:23,240
Speaker 1: answer whenever it comes to the offensive line. We saw

1121
00:59:23,320 --> 00:59:26,120
Speaker 1: that a year ago. I'm worried about that, and instead,

1122
00:59:26,200 --> 00:59:28,760
Speaker 1: I would rather have a super offensive line. I would

1123
00:59:28,880 --> 00:59:31,880
Speaker 1: rather have Tyrant Smith then with Rashonse later than with

1124
00:59:32,000 --> 00:59:35,280
Speaker 1: Tyler Biattish, Zack Martin and Lyle Collins and said, stop

1125
00:59:35,400 --> 00:59:39,240
Speaker 1: us defensive East, come at us Chase Young. Let's figure

1126
00:59:39,280 --> 00:59:43,280
Speaker 1: it out. Okay, Okay, I'm just hoping that dan Quinn's

1127
00:59:43,280 --> 00:59:45,640
Speaker 1: gonna come in because he's dan Quinn and fix everything

1128
00:59:45,760 --> 00:59:49,440
Speaker 1: without some some influx of talent. I don't think that's

1129
00:59:49,440 --> 00:59:52,080
Speaker 1: a strategy either, but it's a great it's a great argument.

1130
00:59:52,120 --> 00:59:55,160
Speaker 1: But we have holes everywhere though, right right right, holes everywhere.

1131
00:59:55,240 --> 00:59:57,680
Speaker 1: So absolutely we I think we're all on the same

1132
00:59:57,720 --> 00:59:59,080
Speaker 1: accord where we say that we need to get a

1133
00:59:59,120 --> 01:00:02,040
Speaker 1: defensive alignment. That's I think we're all in consensus. Name

1134
01:00:02,120 --> 01:00:05,600
Speaker 1: or however, Well, I think the bigger story here is that,

1135
01:00:05,720 --> 01:00:07,760
Speaker 1: like I said, you can't pass on a sure thing

1136
01:00:07,800 --> 01:00:10,280
Speaker 1: at tackle. Yep, you just can't. You can't do it,

1137
01:00:10,400 --> 01:00:13,680
Speaker 1: especially when you're when you're investing into your quarterback like this, right,

1138
01:00:13,760 --> 01:00:15,840
Speaker 1: your job is now to protect him. Why you think

1139
01:00:15,880 --> 01:00:18,040
Speaker 1: that freaking Russell Wilson is thinking about trying to get

1140
01:00:18,080 --> 01:00:21,680
Speaker 1: up out of Seattle because they haven't invested protecting him,

1141
01:00:22,320 --> 01:00:24,560
Speaker 1: right and so reality, when when they were investing money

1142
01:00:24,600 --> 01:00:26,640
Speaker 1: into protecting him, they were going to the Super Bowl

1143
01:00:27,160 --> 01:00:29,320
Speaker 1: year after year, right back to back. When they had

1144
01:00:29,400 --> 01:00:34,280
Speaker 1: they had they had the most salary heavy officer line

1145
01:00:34,520 --> 01:00:36,360
Speaker 1: in the league. Right, they have spent the allocade. The

1146
01:00:36,400 --> 01:00:38,160
Speaker 1: most fun was officer line, and I guess what it

1147
01:00:38,200 --> 01:00:40,440
Speaker 1: resulted in them going back to back Super Bowls. Then

1148
01:00:40,800 --> 01:00:42,320
Speaker 1: they got cocky and they said, you know, we can

1149
01:00:42,360 --> 01:00:44,240
Speaker 1: do it through free agency, right, we don't have to

1150
01:00:44,320 --> 01:00:46,720
Speaker 1: draft anybody, we have to develop anybody. And now look

1151
01:00:46,760 --> 01:00:49,800
Speaker 1: what's happening right now, they're on I'm talking about some

1152
01:00:50,000 --> 01:00:53,240
Speaker 1: other boys. I'm just starting to for somebody. I got

1153
01:00:53,280 --> 01:00:58,000
Speaker 1: an example. They say, Oh man, all right, is that

1154
01:00:58,160 --> 01:00:59,840
Speaker 1: where are y'all? Pits? Though? What if it's a tight

1155
01:01:00,080 --> 01:01:03,120
Speaker 1: end at ten? Now, okay, okay, because you can talk

1156
01:01:03,200 --> 01:01:05,160
Speaker 1: me more so into a tackle than tight end. Yeah,

1157
01:01:05,360 --> 01:01:07,480
Speaker 1: I know how great Pits is as a prospect. I

1158
01:01:07,600 --> 01:01:10,919
Speaker 1: know it. But no, I no, I've said this before

1159
01:01:10,920 --> 01:01:13,440
Speaker 1: about Kyle Pitts. Even if you can guarantee that he's

1160
01:01:13,480 --> 01:01:15,640
Speaker 1: a Hall of famer, you have had a Hall of

1161
01:01:15,760 --> 01:01:19,560
Speaker 1: Fame tight end on your roster for the past what

1162
01:01:20,040 --> 01:01:23,600
Speaker 1: decade with Jason Witten, and it didn't get you no race.

1163
01:01:23,760 --> 01:01:26,640
Speaker 1: You don't have any rings exactly. So I love Kyle

1164
01:01:26,680 --> 01:01:28,800
Speaker 1: Pitts too. I think he could be a game changer,

1165
01:01:29,400 --> 01:01:32,040
Speaker 1: But in terms of need, you can get along with

1166
01:01:32,160 --> 01:01:35,320
Speaker 1: Blake Jarwin and Dalton Schultz just fine, We've already figured

1167
01:01:35,400 --> 01:01:38,400
Speaker 1: that out. So I'm not worried about tight end moving

1168
01:01:38,440 --> 01:01:41,480
Speaker 1: into the future as much as I am about tackle

1169
01:01:41,560 --> 01:01:45,200
Speaker 1: and protecting the investments. I would rather protect offensive tackle

1170
01:01:45,240 --> 01:01:48,640
Speaker 1: in the offensive line rather than that. Plus and Rob

1171
01:01:48,720 --> 01:01:50,920
Speaker 1: said this, I know we're going over time, Chris, I'm

1172
01:01:51,200 --> 01:01:53,240
Speaker 1: I feel you're you're angst in the other room. But

1173
01:01:53,880 --> 01:01:57,680
Speaker 1: whenever Rob said you just relying on Dan Quinn to

1174
01:01:57,720 --> 01:02:00,360
Speaker 1: fix this defense without an influx of talent, I don't

1175
01:02:00,360 --> 01:02:02,880
Speaker 1: necessarily think you're not having an influx of talent because

1176
01:02:02,920 --> 01:02:06,200
Speaker 1: there's those guys in the second, third, and fourth rounds

1177
01:02:06,200 --> 01:02:08,560
Speaker 1: that you could go in draft and that could be starters.

1178
01:02:08,760 --> 01:02:11,560
Speaker 1: You got Treyvon Diggs last year at fifty one, you're

1179
01:02:11,600 --> 01:02:13,600
Speaker 1: picking at forty four this year. You're gonna get another

1180
01:02:13,680 --> 01:02:16,400
Speaker 1: guy like that. And I know that's a lot to say,

1181
01:02:16,480 --> 01:02:18,720
Speaker 1: because forty four that a lot of things can go wrong.

1182
01:02:19,120 --> 01:02:21,560
Speaker 1: I fully believe you can find the right guy at

1183
01:02:21,600 --> 01:02:24,080
Speaker 1: forty four, whether it's Elijah mold and are Richie Grant,

1184
01:02:24,360 --> 01:02:25,960
Speaker 1: some of these different guys that are going to be

1185
01:02:26,000 --> 01:02:31,120
Speaker 1: in the secondary that'll compliment Treyvon Diggs extremely well, or

1186
01:02:31,920 --> 01:02:34,400
Speaker 1: Donovan Wilson. I'm just saying I think there are guys

1187
01:02:34,440 --> 01:02:39,000
Speaker 1: you can go get and you can go draft offensive

1188
01:02:39,040 --> 01:02:42,080
Speaker 1: tackle in the first and it would be just fine.

1189
01:02:42,120 --> 01:02:44,760
Speaker 1: But that's gonna do it for us here on Talking Cowboys,

1190
01:02:44,800 --> 01:02:47,720
Speaker 1: presented by Geico, continue this conversation with us. If you're
