23
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:53,520
Speaker 1: about Spags, that's right. Nothing, He's just Spags. Man. You

24
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:56,160
Speaker 1: had a defensive coordinator in the Super Bowl name Spags.

25
00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:58,680
Speaker 1: That's try that. I mean, you have claim to fame

26
00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:01,559
Speaker 1: with that name. But right, great quote from Andy Reid

27
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:04,200
Speaker 1: about that too, what's that he said he was one

28
00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:06,240
Speaker 1: of them? He said Spags was one of the most

29
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:12,519
Speaker 1: imaginative people I've ever met. I'm putting that in a headline.

41
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:44,119
Speaker 1: a kid. Come on, man, what do you mean it's

42
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:49,359

43

47
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:11,120
Speaker 1: yeast words. There's the first time, the first argument, the best.

48
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:12,960
Speaker 1: I want to know the first ten years or the

49
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:16,360
Speaker 1: next ten years, actually the next ten right, yeah, yeah,

50
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:18,040
Speaker 1: because you know you got the hang of it now.

51
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:20,600
Speaker 1: You know I was talking about my daughter. She was premature. Man.

52
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:22,920
Speaker 1: Is when she finally came from the hospital, it's like

53
00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:26,480
Speaker 1: two months. And now that she is, you know, and

54
00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:28,120
Speaker 1: I'm at home, I'm in the bed. I'm looking at

55
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:29,679
Speaker 1: him like, what the hell do I do? Now? There's

56
00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:33,720
Speaker 1: no nurses, you know, who's changing this baby? So, yeah,

57
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:35,520
Speaker 1: it was you know, the first one wasn't tough. Then

58
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:38,520
Speaker 1: it's the second ten That's when you like, okay, you

59
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:40,800
Speaker 1: can kind of see them forming. It's like clay, I

60
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:42,720
Speaker 1: kind of see them forming a little bit. You know,

61
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:44,240
Speaker 1: if you don't like it, then you could just ignore

62
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:50,120
Speaker 1: him like I did. You got some fatherly advice to

63
00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:52,720
Speaker 1: take home with breaking down those walls, with ever some

64
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:55,720
Speaker 1: walls and well, we've got plenty to talk about other

65
00:03:55,760 --> 00:04:00,280
Speaker 1: than that that topic overall. But it's been the OPS season.

66
00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:02,240
Speaker 1: But there's a lot of options still open for the

67
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:04,960
Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys, and that's kind of where really all the

68
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:07,800
Speaker 1: conversation has been. You've heard over the past couple of

69
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:11,720
Speaker 1: weeks the crazy talks about Dak and trading and we'll

70
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:14,680
Speaker 1: get into Dad. We're not by Yeah, I don't know

71
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:18,200
Speaker 1: if we're gonna we might not entertain that one was good.

72
00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:20,919
Speaker 1: H We are going to talk about some options for

73
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:23,080
Speaker 1: Marii Cooper, talk about some of the old heads for

74
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:25,760
Speaker 1: the Cowboys, Sean Lee, des Brian, a couple of guys

75
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:28,600
Speaker 1: that have been in the news over the last week

76
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:31,159
Speaker 1: or so, and then I'll give you some multiple choice

77
00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:33,599
Speaker 1: scenarios at the end of the show as to how

78
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:36,160
Speaker 1: the Cowboys could handle this OP season. I know Micky's

79
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:39,680
Speaker 1: gonna love that. It's gonna probably take me and d Yeah,

80
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:49,160
Speaker 1: that's exactly you don't get him right here, none, but

81
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:55,000
Speaker 1: that at least gave me a shot test, right, multiple choice.

82
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:58,240
Speaker 1: I'm just not supposed to be an e here. Well,

83
00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:01,200
Speaker 1: I do want to talk in and start talking about

84
00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:04,400
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott, And of course the news over the last

85
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:07,640
Speaker 1: couple of days has been what Michael Irvin said, and

86
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:10,960
Speaker 1: then the headlines kind of running with that, saying the

87
00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:16,200
Speaker 1: Cowboys could look at Dak Prescott trading him basically for

88
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:19,960
Speaker 1: Tom Brady. I don't know if we want to get

89
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:23,640
Speaker 1: facetious with this at all, because man, I don't see

90
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:25,880
Speaker 1: that happening. I really don't. I think that's kind of

91
00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:28,760
Speaker 1: just headline grabbing. Mickey. I feel like you have a

92
00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:30,880
Speaker 1: lot to get off your plate on this because you

93
00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:33,960
Speaker 1: look like you're just raring to go here. Is that

94
00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:40,320
Speaker 1: even a possibility? Seriously? Exactly? Seriously? I mean, who makes

95
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:48,039
Speaker 1: this shit up? Well? Here? Yeah, man, I'm taking my

96
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:52,599
Speaker 1: jacket off on that one. Yeah, that's that's like it's

97
00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:58,719
Speaker 1: been it's been taken. Welcome to talking Cowboys, right, it's

98
00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:02,600
Speaker 1: been taken. It's been one with But there's no substantial

99
00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:06,560
Speaker 1: evidence for that whatsoever. I knew Colin Cowhard was pretty

100
00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:09,719
Speaker 1: much the one that got the ball rolling, saying, oh,

101
00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:12,000
Speaker 1: you know, the money's there and there's so many different

102
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:14,680
Speaker 1: things that you got to look at. Dak Prescott's going

103
00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:17,279
Speaker 1: to be your quarterback in twenty twenty. Am I wrong

104
00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:20,760
Speaker 1: by saying that? No, you're not wrong exactly, but look

105
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:25,080
Speaker 1: what what's new? And I wrote it last Friday? Right,

106
00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:31,560
Speaker 1: Cowboys in quarterbacks? Right, yeah, it's always something. And we

107
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:34,960
Speaker 1: can go back to go back to the first quarterback

108
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:38,760
Speaker 1: in Cowboy history, right, and how it started, or I

109
00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:43,360
Speaker 1: should say the second. How the Cowboys got Don Meredith.

110
00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:50,200
Speaker 1: The NFL didn't want Don Mereth to go to the AFL, right, right.

111
00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 1: The Cowboys didn't have a draft choice their first year

112
00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:59,400
Speaker 1: in nineteen sixty the best, and so the Bears drafted

113
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:02,680
Speaker 1: Don Meredith to trade them to the Cowboys, so the

114
00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:06,920
Speaker 1: Dallas Texans didn't get them in the AFL. Yeah, So

115
00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:09,680
Speaker 1: we can just start right there with the history of

116
00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:15,000
Speaker 1: Cowboy quarterbacks and were about the quarterback carousel, yeah, that

117
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:19,280
Speaker 1: they had with Craig Morton and Roger Starback alternating snaps,

118
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:23,720
Speaker 1: operating drives, right yeah, which which was well, it's almost

119
00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:28,760
Speaker 1: the same ridiculous notion. At that time, everyone was pretty

120
00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:31,440
Speaker 1: upset with Tom about that, but he decided to go

121
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:35,720
Speaker 1: his own way. He wanted the pocket passer. He wanted

122
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:40,200
Speaker 1: to classic quarterback as opposed to the more agile and

123
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:44,600
Speaker 1: very daring Roger starback. Tom did not believe in starback

124
00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:46,560
Speaker 1: when he first came to the Cowboys. I mean not

125
00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:50,640
Speaker 1: at all. I mean you don't. You don't alternate series

126
00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:53,680
Speaker 1: if you have confidence in either one of your quarterbacks.

127
00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:57,200
Speaker 1: They were almost waiting to settle for one or the other.

128
00:07:57,600 --> 00:08:01,040
Speaker 1: And finally Roger, of course, were more successful in what

129
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:03,880
Speaker 1: he did, even though Tom hated the fact that he

130
00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:06,840
Speaker 1: wouldn't throw the ball when he was supposed to. I

131
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:09,120
Speaker 1: have this design to go to Bob Hayes, I have

132
00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:11,600
Speaker 1: this design to go to Drew Pierson. I have a

133
00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:14,960
Speaker 1: design to go to Mike Ditka. What are you doing?

134
00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:17,160
Speaker 1: Roger had a mind of his own. He had the

135
00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:20,280
Speaker 1: whole mind of his own, and thank God for that. Right, Yeah,

136
00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:23,520
Speaker 1: and look how he got here exactly. You draft a

137
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:25,520
Speaker 1: guy in the tenth round. There was a heisman. So

138
00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:31,680
Speaker 1: there's been headlines on Cowboy quarterbacks forever. Forever. Nothing's changed

139
00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:34,960
Speaker 1: comes with a position. This we just continue to go.

140
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:40,679
Speaker 1: When when Roger retired, right, it's going to be uh

141
00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:44,559
Speaker 1: in a month and a half, when he surprisingly retired,

142
00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:47,040
Speaker 1: you know, people didn't know that. And then Danny White

143
00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:49,559
Speaker 1: took over. How did Danny White get here? Well, he

144
00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:53,080
Speaker 1: got drafted in the third round but signed a personal

145
00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:57,320
Speaker 1: services contract with the WFL to play in Memphis. So

146
00:08:57,360 --> 00:09:00,720
Speaker 1: it was always one thing after another after well, man,

147
00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:04,400
Speaker 1: remember my bag, man, my goodness, and now you've got

148
00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:07,640
Speaker 1: the accept you know. And then Danny takes over three

149
00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:13,079
Speaker 1: consecutive NFC title games, and Tom decides, well, I think

150
00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:15,280
Speaker 1: this hohoga boom guys gonna take over, and that with

151
00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:17,559
Speaker 1: a little help from us, right, yeah, yeah, we have

152
00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:20,160
Speaker 1: a pole going in the Dallas and then that works

153
00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:23,000
Speaker 1: so well, not at all, So mickey, don't you think

154
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:25,640
Speaker 1: at times like these, when the media speculation is at

155
00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:28,120
Speaker 1: all time high, Michael Irvan makes a statement like that

156
00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:30,600
Speaker 1: about a potential trade. You know, you say, who makes

157
00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:33,440
Speaker 1: this stuff up? But that's when the media machine starts,

158
00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:36,360
Speaker 1: because no one knows for sure exactly what's going to happen,

159
00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:40,480
Speaker 1: you know, and obviously you know, the the priority is

160
00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:43,920
Speaker 1: resigning Dak. But if all of the speculation and rumors

161
00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:46,720
Speaker 1: are true, that the Cowboys off for thirty three and

162
00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:51,199
Speaker 1: there and they arbitrarily turned that down for more money.

163
00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:53,559
Speaker 1: You know. That's what I think is kind of dropped

164
00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:56,800
Speaker 1: the driving for us behind some of these outrageous rumors

165
00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:59,160
Speaker 1: that you're starting. When you got Michael Irvin, who I'm

166
00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:02,520
Speaker 1: surprised he would even fall into that. I'm surprised he

167
00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:05,320
Speaker 1: would even feed that notion at all. So that's what

168
00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:08,320
Speaker 1: surprised me now, and that's what really gave it legs. Otherwise,

169
00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:12,200
Speaker 1: was a guy Colin Colin content hates to see Brady go.

170
00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:16,320
Speaker 1: He just he's a Brady guy. Yeah, you can just

171
00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:19,959
Speaker 1: it's just him hoping for Brady. Let Brady Finn for himself.

172
00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:22,040
Speaker 1: He's a grown man. He's got a wife making more

173
00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:24,679
Speaker 1: money than God. So Brady's gonna be all And I

174
00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:29,760
Speaker 1: can Dallas count fight away. Your Colin guy's a great

175
00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:32,200
Speaker 1: guy at throwing mashed potatoes at the wall. Oh yeah,

176
00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:36,440
Speaker 1: you can tell well. And one of the reasons why

177
00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:38,160
Speaker 1: it's stuck is it kind of goes back to what

178
00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:39,880
Speaker 1: you were talking about, but a little bit different. You

179
00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:42,760
Speaker 1: were talking about how Tom Landry didn't have faith faith

180
00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:45,480
Speaker 1: in Roger Starbuck back in the day. Now we can

181
00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:48,000
Speaker 1: kind of put that into the spotlight that the quarterback

182
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:51,040
Speaker 1: position has on it now, but it's the fans that

183
00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:53,760
Speaker 1: don't have faith in the quarterback position for the Dallas Countboys.

184
00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:56,040
Speaker 1: You can go back to Tony Romo. I mean that

185
00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:58,319
Speaker 1: it was very quick for Dak Prescott to get into

186
00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:00,520
Speaker 1: Tony Romo realm of Hey, you haven't want a super

187
00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:04,000
Speaker 1: Bowl just yet, so you're terrible. We've got we've got

188
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:05,800
Speaker 1: to get somebody better in here. It didn't take very

189
00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:08,600
Speaker 1: long for those conversations to have and I think, like

190
00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:10,640
Speaker 1: Mickey just said, that's a brilliant point of Colin Cowher

191
00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:13,160
Speaker 1: throwing mashed potatoes at the wall. It's stuck because there's

192
00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:15,040
Speaker 1: a lot of fans out there that are not happy

193
00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:19,439
Speaker 1: that Dak Prescott fans every couple of years, and when

194
00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:22,480
Speaker 1: he left they loved him. And then you, hey, Dak

195
00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:25,680
Speaker 1: right now, and every time he throws a touchdown, it's

196
00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:28,960
Speaker 1: the loudest cheer you hear in texts. It's incredible, it's

197
00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:31,960
Speaker 1: incredibly And they bowed Troy Yankman off the field his

198
00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:35,200
Speaker 1: last year. And that's so let's not give the fans

199
00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:38,080
Speaker 1: too much for print that's true. And I also in

200
00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:40,240
Speaker 1: not giving the fans as much credit, I want to

201
00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:42,000
Speaker 1: just say the grass is not always greener. On the

202
00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:44,280
Speaker 1: other side, look at the quarterback market right now. You've

203
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:47,400
Speaker 1: got Philip Rivers out there. Is he better than Dak Prescott? No, No,

204
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:52,320
Speaker 1: tays him Hill, No, who exactly? Do you see what

205
00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:54,880
Speaker 1: he has to say? He wants to be a starter,

206
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:58,439
Speaker 1: he wants to be Okay, franchise, franchise, Okay, Yeah, you've

207
00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:01,480
Speaker 1: got Andy and he and he's willing to leave. And

208
00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:04,240
Speaker 1: there's one little caveat in that whole thing that I

209
00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:08,240
Speaker 1: think everybody ignored. He's a restricted free agent. Yeah, so

210
00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:11,920
Speaker 1: if the Saints want to tender him, somebody going to

211
00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:14,319
Speaker 1: give up a second round pick for him for a

212
00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:17,319
Speaker 1: guy of course he's of course someone is because it's

213
00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:20,280
Speaker 1: all about Hill. Yeah, for paying on potential. It does

214
00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:22,599
Speaker 1: not productivity. It's all about potential. He looked at the

215
00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:25,800
Speaker 1: quarterbacks that have gotten big pay days. They didn't all

216
00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:28,520
Speaker 1: deserve them. Yeah, but at least they had played quarterback.

217
00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:32,440
Speaker 1: But again, the potential had been there as well. Yeah,

218
00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:34,160
Speaker 1: and I think I think it would take a desperate

219
00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:36,200
Speaker 1: team to do that. Yeah, a second round. It's a

220
00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:38,160
Speaker 1: lot of desperate teams. Yeah, I think there are those

221
00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:39,839
Speaker 1: guys out there. But You've gotten other guys like Ryan

222
00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:43,520
Speaker 1: Tannehill hitting a lot of expert teams. Yeah, you talking

223
00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:47,240
Speaker 1: about Carolina. Cam Newton's potentially on the market. Jamis Winston's

224
00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:49,400
Speaker 1: out there. The grass is not always greener on the

225
00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:55,120
Speaker 1: aims Winston. Wow, just talk about a weird career. Cam Newton,

226
00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:59,520
Speaker 1: can you throw no weirder than Jams? But as many

227
00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:02,560
Speaker 1: touchdown passes his interception, dude, And it's not just the

228
00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:06,000
Speaker 1: way he throws interceptions. It's like, you know, it bounced

229
00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:10,800
Speaker 1: off this dude. But man, man, he's got it in

230
00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:14,040
Speaker 1: the defensive lineman and he's running the other way and

231
00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:16,320
Speaker 1: there's James trying to catch him and he might trip

232
00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:19,079
Speaker 1: over himself and hurt his shoulder. I mean, it's just

233
00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:21,199
Speaker 1: that's that's that's him. He's like a schlep run well,

234
00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:23,439
Speaker 1: And we had some saving grace this morning, the fact

235
00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:26,079
Speaker 1: that maybe we won't have to test that quarterback market,

236
00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:28,640
Speaker 1: and hopefully we won't. I don't think we will. But

237
00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:32,320
Speaker 1: as the Cowboys were reported this morning by Ian Rapp Report, Too,

238
00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:35,280
Speaker 1: have said that they are trying to push before that

239
00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:38,760
Speaker 1: March tenth deadline of franchise tagging players. They want to

240
00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:40,800
Speaker 1: try and get a deal done. That's no surprise to

241
00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:44,440
Speaker 1: anybody with Dak Prescott now talking about Dak in the

242
00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:47,240
Speaker 1: quarterback market. Now the market's going to change in terms

243
00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:50,520
Speaker 1: of quarterbacks and the money that he could get paid

244
00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:52,480
Speaker 1: just based off of some of these bigger contracts like

245
00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:56,080
Speaker 1: a Patrick Mahomes like it, Deshaun Watson. Is it possible

246
00:13:56,160 --> 00:14:00,679
Speaker 1: that his representatives are looking at Dallas and looking kind

247
00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:04,120
Speaker 1: of having an eye onto Shaun Watson and Patrick Mahomes contracts,

248
00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:07,520
Speaker 1: saying let's wake this sound, let's slow play this, let's

249
00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:11,640
Speaker 1: hardball it at the beginning. That way, whenever the market resets,

250
00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:15,360
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott's market value goes from around thirty three million

251
00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:19,080
Speaker 1: and it's skyrockets to thirty five, thirty six, thirty seven million,

252
00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:21,560
Speaker 1: he can kind of squeeze every inch out of that

253
00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:23,680
Speaker 1: contract that he possibly can. You know, when you start

254
00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:26,520
Speaker 1: talking about these kind of millions, and I know it

255
00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:29,760
Speaker 1: sounds trivial, but you know you're doing there's all this

256
00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:33,160
Speaker 1: drama for just really a little bit more pocket change.

257
00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:37,000
Speaker 1: I mean, relatively speaking, you're talking about a lot more drama.

258
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:39,880
Speaker 1: You're talking about, you know, possibly going from like you said,

259
00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:42,360
Speaker 1: thirty three million, to thirty five million. Yeah, I mean,

260
00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:44,000
Speaker 1: I get it. You know it's two million bucks. But

261
00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:46,000
Speaker 1: you know a big scheme of things, and is the

262
00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:49,640
Speaker 1: way the money is flowing around here? Is are we

263
00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:53,040
Speaker 1: just posturing on both sides? Just posturing? And they are?

264
00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:56,200
Speaker 1: And you know, this thought occurred to me yesterday and

265
00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:58,960
Speaker 1: I was gonna write it for my mix shots tomorrow.

266
00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:06,960
Speaker 1: But what if his side would welcome the franchise tag

267
00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:11,720
Speaker 1: which would allow them if they want to go out

268
00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:15,200
Speaker 1: and see what other teams think Dak Prescott is worth?

269
00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:20,200
Speaker 1: Because technically now they can't, right, that's true, wink wink.

270
00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:27,800
Speaker 1: But right now, market value is what other quarterbacks are making,

271
00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:31,720
Speaker 1: right And to the Cowboys, market value is what he's

272
00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:36,120
Speaker 1: worth to us. But they can't find out what Cincinnati

273
00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:39,440
Speaker 1: thinks of Dak Prescott. Like, could they go out and

274
00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:43,480
Speaker 1: troll for an offer sheet to see how much somebody

275
00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:45,440
Speaker 1: else would pay for them? Then they can come back

276
00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:47,640
Speaker 1: to the Cowboys and go, well, you know they're talking.

277
00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:50,960
Speaker 1: Depends on if you're the Ridskins, the Miami Dolphins, New

278
00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:56,160
Speaker 1: York Giants versus Buffalo Patriots, or some other team that

279
00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:58,640
Speaker 1: we couldn't be the Saints themselves don't. Don't you know

280
00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:01,240
Speaker 1: if we if you look at the games where we

281
00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:03,640
Speaker 1: lost games that didn't have good games, right, so they

282
00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:06,000
Speaker 1: might look at him totally differently. Yeah, and they might

283
00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:08,520
Speaker 1: find out, Oh, what the Cowboys are offering is pretty

284
00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:10,520
Speaker 1: good because these other teams aren't going to give us

285
00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:14,440
Speaker 1: that much on an offer sheet, so maybe they'll welcome that. Now,

286
00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:16,960
Speaker 1: from the Cowboys standpoint, you want to get it done

287
00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:20,320
Speaker 1: because you'd like to save that franchise in case you

288
00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:23,480
Speaker 1: need to use it elsewhere. Because if you get Dack

289
00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:28,000
Speaker 1: done right before you hit the tag deadline, uh, then

290
00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:30,920
Speaker 1: if you don't get a Mari done, you could franchise

291
00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:33,760
Speaker 1: a Mari and you can use a transition tag on

292
00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:37,480
Speaker 1: say Byron Joe, and then you got the rights to

293
00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:41,640
Speaker 1: those guys and you come and try to sign him.

294
00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:45,520
Speaker 1: So there there's there's some benefits to getting it done

295
00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:50,240
Speaker 1: before you have to use the franchise about as well. Okay,

296
00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:54,040
Speaker 1: do we want to prioritize our receivers. Do we want

297
00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:58,320
Speaker 1: to poize some defense? Yeah? What what's the what's the priority? Okay,

298
00:16:58,320 --> 00:17:02,680
Speaker 1: you got da Now the receivers next ord were like,

299
00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:04,440
Speaker 1: hey man, we need to get some defense. So that

300
00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:08,480
Speaker 1: Dak won't have to go seventy five yards we drive.

301
00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:10,600
Speaker 1: It seems like the Cowboys don't want to set the

302
00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:14,000
Speaker 1: market on quarterbacks obviously. And what's interesting as well is

303
00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:17,399
Speaker 1: what was the going price in twenty nineteen before the

304
00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:21,919
Speaker 1: twenty eighteen before the negotiation process started. I think everyone

305
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:24,479
Speaker 1: was in the twenty eight thirty million dollar range, and

306
00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:29,400
Speaker 1: now that skyrocketed after Seattle's quarterback signed his deal. Wilson

307
00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:32,040
Speaker 1: signed his deal at thirty five. And so with that,

308
00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:34,159
Speaker 1: coming back to the table saying, look, thirty three is

309
00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:36,640
Speaker 1: not acceptable. I want something in the range of thirty five.

310
00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:38,800
Speaker 1: And I don't know, this is all speculation, thirty five,

311
00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:42,040
Speaker 1: thirty six. Now, now you're setting the market at the

312
00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:45,200
Speaker 1: quarterback position. We're asked. Now, with the cloud of Patrick

313
00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:49,199
Speaker 1: Mahomes contract looming and the CBA, that could easily be

314
00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:52,000
Speaker 1: forty million dollars, and that blows everything that we're talking

315
00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:55,080
Speaker 1: about right now out of the water. Everyone that gives

316
00:17:55,119 --> 00:17:57,480
Speaker 1: some forty doesn't mean I gotta give my guy for

317
00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:01,000
Speaker 1: but that's the way. That's the way to say, Okay,

318
00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:03,359
Speaker 1: I don't get forty, but now instead of going for

319
00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:05,320
Speaker 1: like like you said, thirty or thirty two I want.

320
00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:09,679
Speaker 1: But that's the question, you say, Pat Maholsa Watt. But

321
00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:14,600
Speaker 1: here's the bottom line. It's not the thirty five or forty,

322
00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:20,840
Speaker 1: it's the guaranteed money, absolutely, And these contracts have camouflaged

323
00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:23,960
Speaker 1: what the guarantee money was. When I wentn't. Look back

324
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:27,680
Speaker 1: at Wentz's contract and you look at what the guaranteed

325
00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:31,800
Speaker 1: money was. It's twenty five point seven million a year,

326
00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:35,320
Speaker 1: that's what guarantee. And they had the ability because he

327
00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:38,639
Speaker 1: still had one year left on his contract, to spread

328
00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:42,000
Speaker 1: some of the signing bonus out over another year. So

329
00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:47,639
Speaker 1: if you take what Wentz made in his original deal

330
00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:52,080
Speaker 1: in twenty nineteen, which was his rookie contract, and spread

331
00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:54,359
Speaker 1: it out, and then you got to spread six years

332
00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:57,480
Speaker 1: over that total, and it comes to twenty five million.

333
00:18:57,520 --> 00:19:01,320
Speaker 1: If you look at Goff's guaranteed money, it was twenty

334
00:19:01,359 --> 00:19:04,480
Speaker 1: seven point five. So those are those are the ones

335
00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:06,760
Speaker 1: that are basically in his class, right, Yeah, And I

336
00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:09,080
Speaker 1: don't care about what the big money is, that's the

337
00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:11,760
Speaker 1: agent money. I want to know what the guarantee is

338
00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:15,600
Speaker 1: because they can get out of Kirk Cousins guarantee. It

339
00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:19,800
Speaker 1: was eighty four million over three all guaranteed. So my

340
00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:25,040
Speaker 1: math on Kirk Cousins is twenty eight million a year guarantee.

341
00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:27,639
Speaker 1: That's what it was. Twenty eight that was the difference

342
00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:31,520
Speaker 1: maker in that one. So three years, twenty eight million

343
00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:34,600
Speaker 1: a year. So does Dak want twenty eight million coney

344
00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:37,200
Speaker 1: you didn't get twenty seven if he gets franchised for

345
00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:40,520
Speaker 1: one year? So again, do you want your twenty million

346
00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:43,359
Speaker 1: in the bank tomorrow on your signing bonus? Or do

347
00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:45,760
Speaker 1: you want to have to work for your twenty seven

348
00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:48,240
Speaker 1: million and get paid like the rest of us on

349
00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:55,440
Speaker 1: a weekly basis. Well, well, even if it is a

350
00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:58,760
Speaker 1: weekly basis, it's like one point seven a week, man

351
00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:07,919
Speaker 1: in seven. Well that's a quick math going off of

352
00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:11,440
Speaker 1: what you were talking about Mickey saying you don't want

353
00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:14,520
Speaker 1: to pay him exactly what Kansas City's paying their guy.

354
00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:16,639
Speaker 1: Kind of got a stat for you here of the

355
00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:19,879
Speaker 1: top teen quarterback contracts in the NFL right now, and

356
00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:23,040
Speaker 1: that includes guaranteed money, because I checked both of them,

357
00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:25,920
Speaker 1: there are only three quarterbacks that have a higher career

358
00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:29,360
Speaker 1: passing writing than Dak Press Guy, Russell Wilson, Aaron Rodgers,

359
00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:33,640
Speaker 1: Jimmy Garoppolo. So you're you're looking a guy who's right

360
00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:36,240
Speaker 1: now fifth in MVP odds by the way for twenty

361
00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:39,359
Speaker 1: twenties at eighteen to one, only behind Deshaun Watson, Russell Wilson,

362
00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:42,560
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson, and Patrick Mahomes. So you're looking at a

363
00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:46,120
Speaker 1: top ten quarterback potentially, would you be willing to say

364
00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:54,160
Speaker 1: that not potentially? He's he's really, he's been and he's

365
00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:56,040
Speaker 1: a winner. Even though they win eight and eight with

366
00:20:56,119 --> 00:21:01,320
Speaker 1: a coach that was an issue at least, there's still

367
00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:04,640
Speaker 1: that positive growth from Dak Prescott. And you can even

368
00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:06,679
Speaker 1: say that this year going in the next year now,

369
00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:09,920
Speaker 1: some of that positive growth that Dak Prescott has endured

370
00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:12,399
Speaker 1: has been a big reason because of a Marie Cooper

371
00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:14,200
Speaker 1: and what he has done. We're gonna take a quick break.

372
00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:16,600
Speaker 1: When we come back, we'll talk about a Marie status

373
00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:20,359
Speaker 1: going into the off season or continuing with the offseason,

374
00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:23,520
Speaker 1: what do the Dallas Cowboys do with the Marie Cooper

375
00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:26,200
Speaker 1: And we might talk about the wide receiver market as well,

376
00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:29,320
Speaker 1: see what's out there, because there's been some interesting developments

377
00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:37,680
Speaker 1: in that as well. When we return here on talking Cowboys.

378

Speaker 1: was about say afternoon, but it's still the morning. Still.

415
00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:55,000
Speaker 1: I don't think it's raining as much as just went

416
00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:59,399
Speaker 1: and ugly yeah, it's supposed to continue through its cold. Yeah,

Speaker 1: degrees colder, No, we'd have about right. I gotta walk

Speaker 1: my dog man. He you know, he stopped up, Mike.

420
00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:17,800
Speaker 1: He's just trying to get out of work here on Tuesday,

421
00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:20,720
Speaker 1: go back and go skin though. Week after I get

422
00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:23,720
Speaker 1: back from skiing, it snowed three feet. Oh wow. And

423
00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:26,800
Speaker 1: I was sitting there going So was I unfortunate or

424
00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:31,600
Speaker 1: lucky I can't ski? No? You were definitely lucky. Yeah.

425
00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:35,760
Speaker 1: I went skiing once with American Airlines. They had this deal.

426
00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:37,920
Speaker 1: It was a great A lot of stars were there,

427
00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:41,040
Speaker 1: and so they take me. They give you all the equipment.

428
00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:44,200
Speaker 1: So I'm skiing and they're teaching me at the class

429
00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:46,480
Speaker 1: and we're doing these moves and all that. Then they

430
00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:50,840
Speaker 1: don't give you gloves. So I failed twice. What do

431
00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:53,240
Speaker 1: you mean you didn't wear gloves. They're supposed to give

432
00:24:53,280 --> 00:24:56,000
Speaker 1: you gloves. You gave me everything else. You gave me

433
00:24:56,160 --> 00:25:01,560
Speaker 1: everything else. Skis they supply everything but gloves. And when

434
00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:05,399
Speaker 1: I failed twice, it's over. Bro. I walked out of class.

435
00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:07,600
Speaker 1: You're mad at me? Yeah, they were mad at me

436
00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:09,840
Speaker 1: because I left. I just like, and you know, so funny,

437
00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:11,560
Speaker 1: Well you didn't all the moves that they tried to

438
00:25:11,560 --> 00:25:14,400
Speaker 1: give me the due, right, I did them perfectly as

439
00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:16,920
Speaker 1: I As I left the class, I was like, I'm

440
00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:18,680
Speaker 1: out of here, and I was I was like, well, okay,

441
00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:21,400
Speaker 1: wait mate, us turn back around because now it's too late. Man.

442
00:25:21,560 --> 00:25:24,560
Speaker 1: You went out there bare handed, yes, because they didn't

443
00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:27,040
Speaker 1: give us gloves. Man. Thanks, I mean, if you're gonna

444
00:25:27,080 --> 00:25:29,800
Speaker 1: give us, if you're gonna supply everything, you must give

445
00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:33,000
Speaker 1: us gloves. I'm not a skier and I will never

446
00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:35,240
Speaker 1: be a skier. I just found that out when I

447
00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:37,840
Speaker 1: went to that event. I will never be a skier. Well,

448
00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:39,800
Speaker 1: I just found out that Mickey was an average skier

449
00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:42,119
Speaker 1: just this past We talked about it that lunch and

450
00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:46,760
Speaker 1: one of my favorite Olympic qualified yeah yeah, right. One

451
00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:50,320
Speaker 1: of my favorite visuals is just seeing Mickey maybe going

452
00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:53,160
Speaker 1: down like a black diamond and just going back and forth,

453
00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:58,760
Speaker 1: like I think that'd be just as long as there's

454
00:25:58,800 --> 00:26:01,760
Speaker 1: not a mogul like go down black diamond, you can't.

455
00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:07,359
Speaker 1: Yeah I can, But if there's bumps, I'm out. So

456
00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:09,960
Speaker 1: you can't do the slotom thing. Yeah, it's got to

457
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:12,879
Speaker 1: be straight down. No, no, not straight down. Okay, you

458
00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:14,960
Speaker 1: know I need to train it. I could get you ready.

459
00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:16,560
Speaker 1: I could go down. I can get you ready for

460
00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:19,840
Speaker 1: the bumps. I could go down. I did the Where

461
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:24,080
Speaker 1: was It snow Basin in Utah? I did the women's

462
00:26:24,119 --> 00:26:28,680
Speaker 1: downhill run, and I'm going down and I'm realizing I'm

463
00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:32,520
Speaker 1: going to like way too fast. I'm going way too

464
00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:35,040
Speaker 1: fast and I should be. So I start checking myself.

465
00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:38,240
Speaker 1: So are you? Are you the guy in the White

466
00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:44,840
Speaker 1: World Sports Hack Andy of the feat yea side. When

467
00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:47,080
Speaker 1: I was covering the Olympics, they took us up to

468
00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:50,360
Speaker 1: the top of the ski jump and I looked down

469
00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:57,760
Speaker 1: and I'm going tempted. I want to fought tooth and

470
00:26:57,920 --> 00:27:02,400
Speaker 1: nail if trying to push me down. Thing. Oh man,

471
00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:05,880
Speaker 1: let's uh, let's talk of Mari Cooper here. And of course,

472
00:27:05,960 --> 00:27:10,040
Speaker 1: Cooper being just with the Cowboys for the past season

473
00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:13,639
Speaker 1: and a half, he's still relatively I guess, new on

474
00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:16,720
Speaker 1: the radar in terms of his tenure with the Cowboys,

475
00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:19,639
Speaker 1: and there's a small sample size as to him potentially

476
00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:23,320
Speaker 1: disappearing in big games. I mean, we've seen him. The

477
00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:26,520
Speaker 1: one that most notably stands out to me, was the

478
00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:29,639
Speaker 1: New Jets game the Patriots game too, both of them.

479
00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:31,920
Speaker 1: The one that I thought was the Jets game when

480
00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:33,880
Speaker 1: he kind of sat himself out a couple of times. Now,

481
00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:36,679
Speaker 1: injury wise, we've never don't know that he disappeared, he

482
00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:40,479
Speaker 1: got hurt exactly played three plays. Yeah, and that's kind

483
00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:42,600
Speaker 1: of what I'm saying is is he's had these these

484
00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:47,520
Speaker 1: lingering issues healthwise that nobody's really talking about going into

485
00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:50,400
Speaker 1: the off season. There's been the question on if he's

486
00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:52,800
Speaker 1: one hundred percent healthy, if he's going to be that

487
00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:56,320
Speaker 1: game changing number one wide receiver that is the one

488
00:27:56,480 --> 00:27:59,760
Speaker 1: to Michael Gallops two for Dak Prescott in this offense.

489
00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:03,199
Speaker 1: Is he is that something that we need to be

490
00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:06,760
Speaker 1: having a conversation on his health and if he's ready

491
00:28:06,760 --> 00:28:09,320
Speaker 1: to go come twenty twenty. I think the conversation needs

492
00:28:09,359 --> 00:28:13,840
Speaker 1: to be First of all, last season it chipped away

493
00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:17,400
Speaker 1: at everybody's reputation. I mean, let's just be real. It

494
00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:20,480
Speaker 1: was one of those weird, weird seasons where everyone was

495
00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:23,440
Speaker 1: worried about what was gonna go wrong after things were

496
00:28:23,440 --> 00:28:26,760
Speaker 1: going so right. So you've got a Cooper who was

497
00:28:26,800 --> 00:28:29,840
Speaker 1: a guy that, okay, pull us out of this Cooper

498
00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:32,080
Speaker 1: like you did the year before. You know, you came in,

499
00:28:32,200 --> 00:28:35,320
Speaker 1: you made just miracles happen, and when that didn't happen,

500
00:28:35,359 --> 00:28:37,600
Speaker 1: then now was a sudden We're looking at Cooper. Okay,

501
00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:40,640
Speaker 1: what is wrong with Cooper? Why didn't the Raiders keep him?

502
00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:43,200
Speaker 1: Now we start asking these kind of questions. As far

503
00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:46,680
Speaker 1: as I'm concerned, Cooper is that game changer. He changed

504
00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:51,000
Speaker 1: our offensive future. Okay, he was a guy that made

505
00:28:51,080 --> 00:28:54,680
Speaker 1: us realize the potential that we had. Gallup was able

506
00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:58,960
Speaker 1: to steady himself because you had the focus taking off

507
00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:01,400
Speaker 1: of him by having Cooper on the other side. As

508
00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:05,040
Speaker 1: far as I was concerned, so I think Cooper is

509
00:29:05,080 --> 00:29:08,160
Speaker 1: that guy. I think last year was just one that

510
00:29:08,320 --> 00:29:11,880
Speaker 1: tested everyone's resolved in a very unique way. And I

511
00:29:11,920 --> 00:29:15,320
Speaker 1: think when you when you start looking at erasing all

512
00:29:15,360 --> 00:29:18,600
Speaker 1: of that and then starting over this year, I still

513
00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:21,560
Speaker 1: think Cooper would be that guy that came in during

514
00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:23,720
Speaker 1: the middle of the season and was ready to go.

515
00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:27,520
Speaker 1: Those injuries that you talk about, I think it affected

516
00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:31,800
Speaker 1: him and I think maybe maybe Spag knows better. But

517
00:29:31,840 --> 00:29:37,280
Speaker 1: when you have players that are so hesitant to say

518
00:29:37,320 --> 00:29:40,360
Speaker 1: that they're hurt, to admit that they're hurt and wants

519
00:29:40,400 --> 00:29:42,280
Speaker 1: to get out there and play in spite of the

520
00:29:42,320 --> 00:29:44,600
Speaker 1: fact that they're hurt. And then they realize that they've

521
00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:47,120
Speaker 1: they've really they stepped a little bit too high on

522
00:29:47,120 --> 00:29:48,960
Speaker 1: that ladder because man, I'm hurting more hurt than I

523
00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:52,479
Speaker 1: thought I was. Now your reputation starts to suffer because

524
00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:55,000
Speaker 1: you gotta pull yourself out of the game. Oh wait, wait, man,

525
00:29:55,160 --> 00:29:57,360
Speaker 1: you're pulling yourself out because this guy's ding you up.

526
00:29:57,760 --> 00:30:00,680
Speaker 1: Is that what it is? Well, no, that's not it. Well, hey, something, Well,

527
00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:03,760
Speaker 1: nobody said anything what I'm saying. They weren't happy that

528
00:30:03,800 --> 00:30:06,960
Speaker 1: he didn't say anything because you cost him a spot

529
00:30:07,040 --> 00:30:10,040
Speaker 1: on the right. And Cam Newton is another guy that

530
00:30:10,280 --> 00:30:12,920
Speaker 1: does that all the time. You've got players that do

531
00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:15,360
Speaker 1: that and they just don't know. I get your pride.

532
00:30:15,440 --> 00:30:18,720
Speaker 1: I get the fact that we remarcho sport sport. We

533
00:30:18,760 --> 00:30:21,920
Speaker 1: see those old old uh you know t O in

534
00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:25,200
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl was a young blood with the Rams

535
00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:28,640
Speaker 1: when he played on a broken tibia fibia or something

536
00:30:28,680 --> 00:30:30,400
Speaker 1: like that. These are the kind of things that we

537
00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:33,040
Speaker 1: those that Lord, we try to live up to that.

538
00:30:33,320 --> 00:30:35,480
Speaker 1: You can't do that these days because the rules don't

539
00:30:35,520 --> 00:30:41,520
Speaker 1: allow you to yeah, absolutely, And yeah, and let's not

540
00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:45,520
Speaker 1: bring up the New England game. Yeah, okay, one touchdown

541
00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:48,040
Speaker 1: was scored in that game with the great Tom Brady

542
00:30:48,360 --> 00:30:50,280
Speaker 1: and he had to get the ball to twelve yard

543
00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:53,240
Speaker 1: line to do that. So that was just a sloppy game.

544
00:30:53,240 --> 00:30:56,240
Speaker 1: Over the sloppy game and Belichick And to say that

545
00:30:56,320 --> 00:30:58,480
Speaker 1: Belichick's is a great coach, he didn't do any better

546
00:30:58,520 --> 00:31:02,800
Speaker 1: coaching than Jason Garb that gaunt and that's what I

547
00:31:02,840 --> 00:31:05,640
Speaker 1: was just about to say. The special change really changed

548
00:31:05,640 --> 00:31:07,440
Speaker 1: at all. But also you have to look at this.

549
00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:09,800
Speaker 1: You have to look at the before and after effect

550
00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:12,280
Speaker 1: of Amari Cooper. You know, what were we before he

551
00:31:12,320 --> 00:31:14,600
Speaker 1: came and then after and then what you gave up

552
00:31:14,600 --> 00:31:16,680
Speaker 1: for him? I mean everyone wants to look and see

553
00:31:16,680 --> 00:31:19,600
Speaker 1: why would why would the Raiders give up Amari Cooper?

554
00:31:19,800 --> 00:31:21,800
Speaker 1: Obviously they got the draft, they got the picks for

555
00:31:21,840 --> 00:31:25,880
Speaker 1: it as well. I mean, superior route running ability, those

556
00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:27,560
Speaker 1: are just the things that you look for. He was

557
00:31:27,600 --> 00:31:30,080
Speaker 1: all in this offense to get the timing down with

558
00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:33,600
Speaker 1: Dak He's gonna be awesome. You know, we're looking for

559
00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:36,680
Speaker 1: that number two and we're hoping that Michael Gallups takes

560
00:31:36,720 --> 00:31:39,080
Speaker 1: to him. To be that number two receiver. But right

561
00:31:39,120 --> 00:31:43,360
Speaker 1: now you cannot question Amari Cooper, especially as route running ability.

562
00:31:43,440 --> 00:31:45,600
Speaker 1: He's just a tough kid, and you know there's so

563
00:31:45,720 --> 00:31:48,400
Speaker 1: much to be made about whether to franchise tag him,

564
00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:50,480
Speaker 1: give him his money, don't give him his money. You

565
00:31:50,600 --> 00:31:52,560
Speaker 1: traded the number one for him. You can't even think

566
00:31:52,560 --> 00:31:54,400
Speaker 1: about getting rid of a guy you traded the number

567
00:31:54,400 --> 00:31:56,400
Speaker 1: one for two years ago. Yeah, after a year and

568
00:31:56,440 --> 00:31:58,640
Speaker 1: a half year, yes, exactly a year and a half,

569
00:31:58,680 --> 00:32:06,320
Speaker 1: it's not even possible. Yeah, maybe he's here, he's here.

570
00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:09,080
Speaker 1: Is he headed for the franchise tag? If Dak is signed?

571
00:32:09,200 --> 00:32:11,720
Speaker 1: If if they don't get it done in time, Yeah,

572
00:32:11,800 --> 00:32:14,560
Speaker 1: and then you buy yourself three or four more months

573
00:32:14,560 --> 00:32:17,120
Speaker 1: to negotiations, not the final say so, Yeah, like you said,

574
00:32:17,120 --> 00:32:21,920
Speaker 1: it's not I mean that it's a The franchise tag

575
00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:24,840
Speaker 1: is a kind of a place keeper. That's my spot

576
00:32:24,880 --> 00:32:27,880
Speaker 1: at the table. And now I can continue for four

577
00:32:27,960 --> 00:32:30,000
Speaker 1: months to work on this deal. Sort of what happened

578
00:32:30,040 --> 00:32:32,720
Speaker 1: with DeMarcus Lawrence last year. He wasn't going anywhere. Yeah,

579
00:32:32,840 --> 00:32:36,000
Speaker 1: it was no insult that they franchised him. It was

580
00:32:36,040 --> 00:32:40,040
Speaker 1: to buy time to continue negotiating the contract. If you

581
00:32:40,080 --> 00:32:42,640
Speaker 1: can't get it done right away. And again, I think

582
00:32:42,680 --> 00:32:45,320
Speaker 1: there's agents out there that would rather go out there

583
00:32:45,360 --> 00:32:50,280
Speaker 1: and and start, you know, kind of uh canvassing the

584
00:32:50,320 --> 00:32:53,480
Speaker 1: field if and see what other people think my guy's worth,

585
00:32:53,600 --> 00:32:56,800
Speaker 1: because now I have the opportunity to do that legally. Well,

586
00:32:56,840 --> 00:32:59,000
Speaker 1: and you said that about Dak Prescott as well. If

587
00:32:59,080 --> 00:33:02,600
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott's the one that ends up being tagged and

588
00:33:02,760 --> 00:33:05,920
Speaker 1: gets that franchise tag, what happens to a Mari Cooper, Well,

589
00:33:05,960 --> 00:33:08,800
Speaker 1: they can use the trens. You can still use because

590
00:33:08,880 --> 00:33:10,960
Speaker 1: you can use both because this is the final year

591
00:33:11,040 --> 00:33:13,480
Speaker 1: of the CBA, right, Okay. But the other thing that's

592
00:33:13,560 --> 00:33:16,240
Speaker 1: very interesting is how does a Maria Cooper fit into

593
00:33:16,320 --> 00:33:19,360
Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy's offense when you look at his past offensive

594
00:33:19,440 --> 00:33:23,160
Speaker 1: with having success with Jordy Nelson and guys that were

595
00:33:23,160 --> 00:33:27,920
Speaker 1: not your Speedster Berner typical wide receivers, and with his

596
00:33:28,040 --> 00:33:30,600
Speaker 1: offense being more of a West Coast short pass you know,

597
00:33:30,840 --> 00:33:33,480
Speaker 1: guards after catch, things like that that you would be

598
00:33:33,520 --> 00:33:36,000
Speaker 1: expecting for a Marik Cooper to fit into that office

599
00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:38,280
Speaker 1: when that may not. Yeah, exactly. So you're looking at

600
00:33:38,320 --> 00:33:41,320
Speaker 1: strong suits, weaknesses, all of those things in this offense

601
00:33:41,320 --> 00:33:44,120
Speaker 1: how does he fit into the into that game plan. Yeah,

602
00:33:44,200 --> 00:33:49,800
Speaker 1: and I don't know that what McCarthy does offensively, is

603
00:33:49,880 --> 00:33:55,000
Speaker 1: that true West Coast from fifteen years ago? No? No, yeah,

604
00:33:55,040 --> 00:33:57,800
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers stretched the field down you a little bit, right,

605
00:33:58,320 --> 00:34:04,520
Speaker 1: just a I can remember for the yard pass in

606
00:34:04,520 --> 00:34:07,960
Speaker 1: the world. You allow people to do certain things. Now,

607
00:34:08,080 --> 00:34:11,040
Speaker 1: this is my defensive guy coming out in me. Great

608
00:34:11,080 --> 00:34:13,160
Speaker 1: plays are made and I'm a victim of it and

609
00:34:13,200 --> 00:34:16,040
Speaker 1: I've seen it. Great plays are made because you allow

610
00:34:16,120 --> 00:34:19,279
Speaker 1: people to make great plays. Okay, it's not he's there

611
00:34:19,320 --> 00:34:21,200
Speaker 1: to do it, but only if you allow me to

612
00:34:21,239 --> 00:34:22,600
Speaker 1: do it. But if you don't allow me to do it,

613
00:34:22,719 --> 00:34:25,520
Speaker 1: then that's just another play that just didn't happen. And

614
00:34:25,640 --> 00:34:28,520
Speaker 1: thus that's the thing that the Cowboys need to look at.

615
00:34:28,680 --> 00:34:31,319
Speaker 1: As far as wide receivers are concern, You've got to

616
00:34:31,400 --> 00:34:35,640
Speaker 1: have that receiver who's gonna take advantage of any mistake

617
00:34:35,680 --> 00:34:38,560
Speaker 1: of defensive backs made. So we're not just talking about Cooper,

618
00:34:38,920 --> 00:34:42,759
Speaker 1: We're talking about Cob as well. I think, God, we

619
00:34:42,840 --> 00:34:48,319
Speaker 1: are so blessed to have Gallop, Cob and Cooper, and

620
00:34:48,360 --> 00:34:50,799
Speaker 1: I think we need to keep them, even if it's

621
00:34:50,960 --> 00:34:55,279
Speaker 1: if it's at the expense of another unit, such as

622
00:34:55,320 --> 00:34:59,480
Speaker 1: a tight end. Uh, we need more ride receivers at

623
00:34:59,480 --> 00:35:03,160
Speaker 1: this point, then we do capable tight ends because we're

624
00:35:03,160 --> 00:35:07,640
Speaker 1: going to be driven by how we do without quick

625
00:35:08,080 --> 00:35:10,840
Speaker 1: quarterback to wide receiver combination. I think that's going to

626
00:35:10,960 --> 00:35:15,600
Speaker 1: be our alternative to Zeke's running the ball. And you've

627
00:35:15,640 --> 00:35:18,600
Speaker 1: been vocal about this over your time on the show

628
00:35:19,200 --> 00:35:22,040
Speaker 1: as a whole, but especially today and talking about keeping

629
00:35:22,160 --> 00:35:24,040
Speaker 1: Randall Cobb. And that's kind of where I want to

630
00:35:24,080 --> 00:35:26,680
Speaker 1: go now, is talking about Randall Cobb in his offseason,

631
00:35:27,200 --> 00:35:29,680
Speaker 1: being on the Draft show and hosting that. I've I've

632
00:35:29,680 --> 00:35:32,239
Speaker 1: seen a lot of Cowboys draft Twitter falling in love

633
00:35:32,280 --> 00:35:35,520
Speaker 1: with a very deep wide receiver class, and it's been

634
00:35:36,600 --> 00:35:39,440
Speaker 1: names throwing at you like a Seed Lamb out of Oklahoma.

635
00:35:39,520 --> 00:35:42,840
Speaker 1: You got t Higgens, a Glimpson, You've got Henry Rubbs

636
00:35:42,880 --> 00:35:47,680
Speaker 1: the third out of Alabama. Yes, exactly, Yes, but it's

637
00:35:47,680 --> 00:35:49,719
Speaker 1: a deep enough wide receiver draft that you could get

638
00:35:49,719 --> 00:35:53,720
Speaker 1: a number three wide receiver that could replace Randall Cobb.

639
00:35:53,719 --> 00:35:56,320
Speaker 1: And a lot of draft nerds out there, like myself,

640
00:35:56,560 --> 00:35:59,600
Speaker 1: have said Cobb may not be the same guy going

641
00:35:59,600 --> 00:36:02,280
Speaker 1: into twenty. Why do you think that's not the case.

642
00:36:02,480 --> 00:36:04,279
Speaker 1: I think that's not the case. First of all, he

643
00:36:04,280 --> 00:36:06,839
Speaker 1: didn't get much time last year or the year before that.

644
00:36:07,200 --> 00:36:09,120
Speaker 1: I think he's had a chance for his legs to

645
00:36:09,160 --> 00:36:11,919
Speaker 1: be a little bit fresher than normal. You saw last

646
00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:14,000
Speaker 1: year where we were trying to get the ball to

647
00:36:14,080 --> 00:36:16,799
Speaker 1: the tight ends on those big third downs, trying to

648
00:36:16,800 --> 00:36:20,879
Speaker 1: get the ball to win looking downfield for some other guy.

649
00:36:21,600 --> 00:36:24,799
Speaker 1: Cop is the guy. He lets you know during the

650
00:36:24,840 --> 00:36:27,600
Speaker 1: game that he's the guy. He barely got his fifty

651
00:36:27,600 --> 00:36:30,720
Speaker 1: five passes, he got his quar of a meal bonus

652
00:36:31,239 --> 00:36:35,280
Speaker 1: or incentive clause right. When you look at his effectiveness

653
00:36:35,440 --> 00:36:38,680
Speaker 1: with Aaron Rodgers, when you look at his effectiveness with

654
00:36:38,760 --> 00:36:43,320
Speaker 1: this same coach that we have now, Sometimes you need

655
00:36:43,360 --> 00:36:47,400
Speaker 1: that player that can help your QB transition into another

656
00:36:47,640 --> 00:36:50,879
Speaker 1: style of offense. You've got to have a guy out

657
00:36:50,920 --> 00:36:54,960
Speaker 1: there that is totally mentally embedded into what we're doing

658
00:36:55,000 --> 00:36:59,400
Speaker 1: and what our goal is. In this offense. We know

659
00:36:59,440 --> 00:37:01,600
Speaker 1: how to run the ball. I don't care who Zeke's

660
00:37:01,600 --> 00:37:02,799
Speaker 1: gonna be able to go on the ball, I don't

661
00:37:02,800 --> 00:37:04,640
Speaker 1: care how they block it. But when it comes to

662
00:37:04,680 --> 00:37:09,560
Speaker 1: a passing scheme in critical moments, especially on third downs,

663
00:37:09,719 --> 00:37:12,680
Speaker 1: you need a wide receiver that's gonna understand exactly what

664
00:37:12,719 --> 00:37:15,720
Speaker 1: the coaches want in this situation and what is called

665
00:37:15,719 --> 00:37:18,160
Speaker 1: for about your wide receiver. Could you say the same

666
00:37:18,200 --> 00:37:21,080
Speaker 1: thing about Randall cob being that transition not only to

667
00:37:21,120 --> 00:37:23,120
Speaker 1: a new offense, but to a new coaching staff. The

668
00:37:23,120 --> 00:37:25,480
Speaker 1: fact that he has had Mike McCarthy as a head, well, yeah,

669
00:37:25,480 --> 00:37:27,480
Speaker 1: to him, it's not a new coaching staff. But but

670
00:37:27,600 --> 00:37:30,839
Speaker 1: that's my point. He because he's there, he will be

671
00:37:30,920 --> 00:37:33,200
Speaker 1: that link. He will be that link between the new

672
00:37:33,239 --> 00:37:36,920
Speaker 1: coaching staff and the new offense. So him on the

673
00:37:36,920 --> 00:37:39,720
Speaker 1: field basic, And if you think about when new coaches

674
00:37:39,760 --> 00:37:43,239
Speaker 1: have come in, they've always wanted got your somebody. You

675
00:37:43,320 --> 00:37:45,279
Speaker 1: gotta have your think about what Bill I did when

676
00:37:45,400 --> 00:37:48,080
Speaker 1: he got here. He kind of got some of his guy.

677
00:37:48,120 --> 00:37:50,480
Speaker 1: Gotta get your guy. Jimmy Johnson, you got me get

678
00:37:50,520 --> 00:37:53,359
Speaker 1: your guys. Brought some of those guys Miami. And if

679
00:37:53,400 --> 00:37:56,120
Speaker 1: it's a coach or a player, when Jimmy came here,

680
00:37:56,360 --> 00:38:00,239
Speaker 1: his guy was Michael Us. Sure, Mike was here first,

681
00:38:00,480 --> 00:38:05,360
Speaker 1: I believe, but Mike was. You had a great last

682
00:38:05,400 --> 00:38:09,040
Speaker 1: game against Darryl Green. We're like, okay, this guy is

683
00:38:09,080 --> 00:38:12,160
Speaker 1: worth it. And then that offseason, I don't know if

684
00:38:12,160 --> 00:38:14,200
Speaker 1: you guys heard the ballot spats, you probably heard about

685
00:38:14,840 --> 00:38:20,040
Speaker 1: Michael Irvin was standing up giving speeches every day about

686
00:38:20,040 --> 00:38:22,960
Speaker 1: how important it is for us to get behind this coach. Now,

687
00:38:23,000 --> 00:38:25,680
Speaker 1: we ended up that year being one in fifteen, but

688
00:38:25,840 --> 00:38:30,160
Speaker 1: for Mike and for Jimmy Johnson, that connection is what

689
00:38:30,320 --> 00:38:33,200
Speaker 1: really made them as strong as they were going forward.

690
00:38:33,719 --> 00:38:35,920
Speaker 1: And that's what you need with with Cob. You've got it.

691
00:38:36,000 --> 00:38:38,400
Speaker 1: You don't have a one in fifteen team here, Okay,

692
00:38:38,520 --> 00:38:41,279
Speaker 1: now you don't. You have a championship caliber team, and

693
00:38:41,360 --> 00:38:44,120
Speaker 1: Cob could be that guy to just make that transition

694
00:38:44,160 --> 00:38:46,719
Speaker 1: a lot smoother. Cola, And just going back to the

695
00:38:46,719 --> 00:38:49,400
Speaker 1: whole draft nerd aspect, you know, you said it, man,

696
00:38:49,440 --> 00:38:51,560
Speaker 1: there are a lot of wide receivers in this in

697
00:38:51,560 --> 00:38:55,000
Speaker 1: this draft that should have first and second grade tags

698
00:38:55,040 --> 00:38:57,200
Speaker 1: on them. But the thing is is that I don't

699
00:38:57,239 --> 00:38:59,480
Speaker 1: believe that the Cowboys would turn down an opportunity to

700
00:38:59,560 --> 00:39:02,560
Speaker 1: upgrade at any position. And so if Cobb is here again,

701
00:39:02,600 --> 00:39:04,760
Speaker 1: he's gonna have to earn his key to like everyone

702
00:39:04,800 --> 00:39:07,680
Speaker 1: else twenties. You know, he had great production last year,

703
00:39:07,719 --> 00:39:09,440
Speaker 1: being able to get first downs and things like that

704
00:39:09,440 --> 00:39:12,200
Speaker 1: when you look at the wide receivers that are available

705
00:39:12,400 --> 00:39:15,880
Speaker 1: in the later rounds, like a Duverney from from Texas. Fast,

706
00:39:15,960 --> 00:39:17,680
Speaker 1: tough guys that get the ball in their hands and

707
00:39:17,719 --> 00:39:20,440
Speaker 1: can catch out, you know. And so that's that's just

708
00:39:20,600 --> 00:39:22,640
Speaker 1: you know, and that's the main thing. And then going

709
00:39:22,640 --> 00:39:24,759
Speaker 1: back to your point about the tight ends, I think

710
00:39:24,760 --> 00:39:27,080
Speaker 1: that that is going to be what the Cowboys have

711
00:39:27,120 --> 00:39:29,480
Speaker 1: to look at as well, because you know, imitation is

712
00:39:29,480 --> 00:39:31,480
Speaker 1: the highest form of flattery. And you look at both

713
00:39:31,480 --> 00:39:32,919
Speaker 1: of the teams that made it to the Super Bowl,

714
00:39:33,000 --> 00:39:35,440
Speaker 1: what if they have in common great tight ends and

715
00:39:35,520 --> 00:39:38,440
Speaker 1: so in order to we've had it in common as well.

716
00:39:38,480 --> 00:39:40,600
Speaker 1: I mean with Jason Witnes. It's just a matter of

717
00:39:41,120 --> 00:39:43,040
Speaker 1: but I think we'd all say that a little bit.

718
00:39:43,080 --> 00:39:45,520
Speaker 1: You know, there was a little bit of decline this year,

719
00:39:46,760 --> 00:39:49,759
Speaker 1: but we we have always been with the trend of

720
00:39:49,920 --> 00:39:53,319
Speaker 1: going to tight ends. Yeah, that's my point. And could

721
00:39:53,320 --> 00:39:56,600
Speaker 1: I remind everybody that when it came to yards, the

722
00:39:56,600 --> 00:40:00,200
Speaker 1: Cowboys were number one on offense this year. Yeah, So

723
00:40:00,280 --> 00:40:03,640
Speaker 1: it wasn't like they were struggling along. Yeah, they just

724
00:40:03,719 --> 00:40:07,040
Speaker 1: didn't make plays at key times and key games to

725
00:40:07,280 --> 00:40:10,439
Speaker 1: win those deals. Right, Yeah, And I thought. Kellen Moore

726
00:40:10,520 --> 00:40:14,480
Speaker 1: spoke about it when they did the uh the assistant

727
00:40:14,560 --> 00:40:18,600
Speaker 1: coach car Wash talking about it. You can gain all

728
00:40:18,640 --> 00:40:21,919
Speaker 1: the yards you want, But did I convert that third down?

729
00:40:22,320 --> 00:40:25,120
Speaker 1: Did I convert that red zone play? Did I score

730
00:40:25,160 --> 00:40:27,839
Speaker 1: the touchdown? And those are the things that bogged him down.

731
00:40:27,960 --> 00:40:33,000
Speaker 1: Now from a yard standpoint, they moved the ball. Not

732
00:40:33,120 --> 00:40:36,120
Speaker 1: just about eight games they scored thirty points. It is

733
00:40:36,239 --> 00:40:40,919
Speaker 1: not just about that. It's exactly yes, and and so

734
00:40:41,000 --> 00:40:42,880
Speaker 1: you know we're sitting here, they need this, this, this

735
00:40:43,000 --> 00:40:45,719
Speaker 1: and this. I get it. But they didn't have any

736
00:40:45,719 --> 00:40:48,319
Speaker 1: problems moving the football. They need to make sure that

737
00:40:48,400 --> 00:40:50,200
Speaker 1: when when they get to the red zone, when they

738
00:40:50,200 --> 00:40:52,840
Speaker 1: get to that third down. Once again, that's where I

739
00:40:52,880 --> 00:40:56,600
Speaker 1: guy like cops. And just because you keep Randall Cobb

740
00:40:56,760 --> 00:40:58,759
Speaker 1: doesn't mean you can't draft a wide receiver in the

741
00:40:58,760 --> 00:41:01,080
Speaker 1: fourth of the fifth round and THEEP wide receiver class,

742
00:41:01,080 --> 00:41:02,600
Speaker 1: Like you said, Heckman, there are going to be first

743
00:41:02,640 --> 00:41:04,680
Speaker 1: and second round talents that are going to drop to

744
00:41:04,680 --> 00:41:06,759
Speaker 1: the third and the fourth round. This how much long

745
00:41:06,800 --> 00:41:08,520
Speaker 1: am I going to have to wait for those guys

746
00:41:08,520 --> 00:41:11,680
Speaker 1: to be productive? That's the key think about this than

747
00:41:11,760 --> 00:41:15,880
Speaker 1: the top three wide receivers last year, who was fourth

748
00:41:15,920 --> 00:41:21,480
Speaker 1: most in wide receiver catches? Devin Smith. That's that, that's

749
00:41:21,560 --> 00:41:28,240
Speaker 1: the question to say. With thirteen catches, it was Tavon Austin. Okay,

750
00:41:28,239 --> 00:41:30,440
Speaker 1: that's fair. Yeah, they didn't even think about tink about it.

751
00:41:30,760 --> 00:41:33,640
Speaker 1: So there's not like some guys here that they've groomed

752
00:41:33,680 --> 00:41:38,640
Speaker 1: and like they're ready to take over. So this this draft,

753
00:41:38,760 --> 00:41:41,440
Speaker 1: drafting a wide receiver. If he's my fourth guy or

754
00:41:41,440 --> 00:41:44,440
Speaker 1: my fifth guy. You a wide receiver, he'd better be

755
00:41:44,480 --> 00:41:47,200
Speaker 1: able to return punts. Yeah, yeah, that's that's better to

756
00:41:47,200 --> 00:41:49,760
Speaker 1: be able to return punts. Because to me, at this point,

757
00:41:49,960 --> 00:41:51,719
Speaker 1: if we keep it the way it is, we've got

758
00:41:52,239 --> 00:41:54,240
Speaker 1: plenty of wide receivers to make it through the season.

759
00:41:54,320 --> 00:41:57,040
Speaker 1: But he's got to do something different because we got

760
00:41:57,080 --> 00:41:58,799
Speaker 1: we have guys that can run in, catch and see.

761
00:41:58,800 --> 00:42:01,279
Speaker 1: And that was Devin Smith problem. Yeah, you've brought Devin

762
00:42:01,360 --> 00:42:05,880
Speaker 1: Smith up. He could have been the fourth or fifth receiver,

763
00:42:06,080 --> 00:42:10,120
Speaker 1: but he didn't return kicks and so then he never

764
00:42:10,239 --> 00:42:16,120
Speaker 1: was active, which was unfortunate because you can he had it,

765
00:42:16,239 --> 00:42:18,400
Speaker 1: you know, and then they couldn't find a way to

766
00:42:18,400 --> 00:42:21,279
Speaker 1: get him on the game day roster. Yeah, which was

767
00:42:21,320 --> 00:42:23,560
Speaker 1: a shame. And you also have Tavon Austin and his

768
00:42:23,840 --> 00:42:26,520
Speaker 1: punt returning blunder that he had. Remember while he was

769
00:42:26,560 --> 00:42:29,840
Speaker 1: in LA. Who was a special teams Yeah, Blonders. But

770
00:42:29,920 --> 00:42:33,080
Speaker 1: who was a special teams coordinator in LA? John Fossil? Yeah,

771
00:42:33,200 --> 00:42:35,919
Speaker 1: and that didn't work out necessarily the first time around either.

772
00:42:36,239 --> 00:42:37,920
Speaker 1: Let's take a quick break when we come back. I

773
00:42:37,960 --> 00:42:40,600
Speaker 1: got some multiple choice scenarios. We've kind of talked through

774
00:42:40,640 --> 00:42:43,319
Speaker 1: a little bit how the Cowboys could handle that offseason.

775
00:42:43,560 --> 00:42:45,839
Speaker 1: We're gonna decide it. We'renna play GM. We're gonna put

Speaker 1: your name written all over it. Black tea and BlackBerry pineapple, mint,

825

839
00:47:01,960 --> 00:47:07,200
Speaker 1: I can't say drink, not at all. Let's go to

840
00:47:07,239 --> 00:47:11,200
Speaker 1: these multiple choice scenarios. I can't wait. I know Mickey's

841
00:47:11,200 --> 00:47:13,640
Speaker 1: gonna tear these apart and it's gonna embarrass me, but

842
00:47:13,680 --> 00:47:17,080
Speaker 1: that's okay. We're gonna put everybody in the GM role.

843
00:47:17,120 --> 00:47:19,080
Speaker 1: You are the GM of the Dallas Cowboys for the

844
00:47:19,120 --> 00:47:23,000
Speaker 1: next thirteen minutes or so, and in this you're gonna

845
00:47:23,000 --> 00:47:25,480
Speaker 1: try and find out which of these four choices would

846
00:47:25,480 --> 00:47:27,520
Speaker 1: give you the best chance to win a Super Bowl

847
00:47:27,920 --> 00:47:31,520
Speaker 1: next year. All right, So Option A, and this is

848
00:47:31,520 --> 00:47:33,520
Speaker 1: pretty much the one that I think we've kind of

849
00:47:33,560 --> 00:47:36,200
Speaker 1: talked about, is the most likely to happen. Option A

850
00:47:36,600 --> 00:47:39,920
Speaker 1: signed Dak Prescott to a long term extension, franchise, tag

851
00:47:39,920 --> 00:47:44,040
Speaker 1: a Maori, let Byron Jones walk, sign Robert Quinn, and

852
00:47:44,120 --> 00:47:47,879
Speaker 1: draft your secondary. What do you think about I only

853
00:47:47,880 --> 00:47:49,640
Speaker 1: get one of those. No, that's I will go through

854
00:47:49,719 --> 00:47:52,600
Speaker 1: them all. Wanted your initial thoughts before we go into it.

855
00:47:52,840 --> 00:47:57,560
Speaker 1: I thought I got one win the Super Bowl. No, okay,

856
00:47:57,560 --> 00:48:00,479
Speaker 1: we'll go from there. We'll keep going. Option B signed

857
00:48:00,560 --> 00:48:04,680
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott, let him Marie Cooper walk, tag Byron, sign

858
00:48:05,080 --> 00:48:07,520
Speaker 1: Robert Quinn to an extension, and then draft a wide

859
00:48:07,520 --> 00:48:11,399
Speaker 1: receiver at seventeen. So that's the second one, third one,

860
00:48:11,440 --> 00:48:13,480
Speaker 1: and this is where I'll start throwing some curveballs in here.

861
00:48:13,520 --> 00:48:17,120
Speaker 1: Signed Deak Prescott, let him Marie Cooper and Robert Quinn walk.

862
00:48:17,480 --> 00:48:19,960
Speaker 1: Trade for a wide receiver. And in this scenario, I

863
00:48:20,000 --> 00:48:23,600
Speaker 1: have Stefan Diggs because he's been very vocal over the

864
00:48:23,640 --> 00:48:26,759
Speaker 1: last couple of days on Twitter about being disgruntled in Minnesota.

865
00:48:26,800 --> 00:48:28,839
Speaker 1: So I think you could get him for cheap. Sign

866
00:48:28,880 --> 00:48:31,440
Speaker 1: a guy like Chris Jones on the defensive wine. Wait,

867
00:48:31,520 --> 00:48:34,520
Speaker 1: wait a minute, Yeah, on Stefan Digg. Yeah, is he

868
00:48:34,560 --> 00:48:36,800
Speaker 1: a free agent? He's not. You'd have to tag, you

869
00:48:36,840 --> 00:48:38,360
Speaker 1: would have to trade for him. So why could I

870
00:48:38,400 --> 00:48:41,040
Speaker 1: get him for cheap? Because he's disgruntled and he was

871
00:48:41,080 --> 00:48:43,080
Speaker 1: a fifth round pick and you could potentially get him

872
00:48:43,080 --> 00:48:45,239
Speaker 1: for a third. If I'm the GM, would I do

873
00:48:45,480 --> 00:48:48,480
Speaker 1: him to go get in line? Yeah? Because once I

874
00:48:48,560 --> 00:48:50,839
Speaker 1: do that for Stefan Diggs and the next guy that's

875
00:48:50,880 --> 00:48:54,399
Speaker 1: disgruntled at my front door. Okay, and you are playing

876
00:48:54,440 --> 00:48:56,640
Speaker 1: GM right now, so that I'm guessing that option is

877
00:48:56,640 --> 00:48:59,160
Speaker 1: pretty much out at the moment that draft safety at

878
00:48:59,160 --> 00:49:01,680
Speaker 1: seventeen was aw. You don't know Mike Zimmer, but Mike

879
00:49:01,760 --> 00:49:04,359
Speaker 1: Zimmer is pretty stubborn too. Yeah, he's not gonna put

880
00:49:04,440 --> 00:49:06,839
Speaker 1: up with any of that. No option d is let

881
00:49:06,920 --> 00:49:08,960
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott walk. And this is the only one where

882
00:49:09,040 --> 00:49:12,200
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott's not with the Dallas Cowboys. Signamar to a

883
00:49:12,239 --> 00:49:16,520
Speaker 1: long term extension. You tag Robert Quinn signed Byron Jones

884
00:49:16,560 --> 00:49:18,239
Speaker 1: as well, and then you also sign a quarterback in

885
00:49:18,280 --> 00:49:20,680
Speaker 1: free agency. So those are the four options. I will

886
00:49:20,719 --> 00:49:22,839
Speaker 1: go through those if you need to, okay to me

887
00:49:23,080 --> 00:49:25,000
Speaker 1: and the SPACs canna be last. I don't know. If

888
00:49:25,800 --> 00:49:28,560
Speaker 1: I don't know if my options are available, they're not

889
00:49:28,600 --> 00:49:30,920
Speaker 1: available right now. You can give your own option if

890
00:49:30,960 --> 00:49:34,239
Speaker 1: you want, Like you're gonna get my own, I'm gonna

891
00:49:34,239 --> 00:49:37,359
Speaker 1: give option of course. Ever there you go. I've got

892
00:49:37,880 --> 00:49:45,400
Speaker 1: keeping Dak Okay, I've got If I had to sign Cooper,

893
00:49:46,719 --> 00:49:50,960
Speaker 1: I would hate too, but I would let Quinn go. Okay,

894
00:49:51,120 --> 00:49:54,360
Speaker 1: why is that? Because you've got a lot of studs

895
00:49:54,360 --> 00:49:56,680
Speaker 1: coming out in the draft, and you got and you've

896
00:49:56,719 --> 00:49:59,080
Speaker 1: got plenty of studs come all around the league that

897
00:49:59,120 --> 00:50:01,279
Speaker 1: would love to come to da as Cowboys. Okay, that

898
00:50:01,360 --> 00:50:03,160
Speaker 1: could fit in very well. I mean, so what they

899
00:50:03,200 --> 00:50:05,200
Speaker 1: did last year they bought going in from somewhere else. Well,

900
00:50:05,320 --> 00:50:08,560
Speaker 1: his market value right now, at least according to spot track,

901
00:50:08,600 --> 00:50:11,960
Speaker 1: it's just under twelve million. That's a lot for an indusher.

902
00:50:12,080 --> 00:50:16,120
Speaker 1: That is that is and that's that's not a priority.

903
00:50:16,560 --> 00:50:19,879
Speaker 1: Uh in regards to just that one player over everyone else.

904
00:50:20,520 --> 00:50:23,399
Speaker 1: And I'm on this and I know people Buried Church

905
00:50:23,480 --> 00:50:28,520
Speaker 1: thinks I'm crazy, but Biban. Jones's safety is just so

906
00:50:28,719 --> 00:50:31,759
Speaker 1: enticing to me. Okay, I know that he didn't do well.

907
00:50:31,800 --> 00:50:34,200
Speaker 1: According to Buried Church, he just he just ranked me

908
00:50:34,200 --> 00:50:37,680
Speaker 1: over the coals. He said that he was garbage. Basically

909
00:50:37,719 --> 00:50:41,480
Speaker 1: his first year is playing safety. I think a guy

910
00:50:41,520 --> 00:50:45,719
Speaker 1: with more experience after playing cornerback in the NFL, I've

911
00:50:45,719 --> 00:50:48,560
Speaker 1: done it. And then when you separate yourself from that

912
00:50:49,040 --> 00:50:54,839
Speaker 1: high intensity in your facecom competition, that that that involvement there,

913
00:50:55,360 --> 00:50:59,280
Speaker 1: you take him back and let him think. With that

914
00:50:59,280 --> 00:51:01,799
Speaker 1: that brain of him is, with that athleticism that he has,

915
00:51:02,680 --> 00:51:05,800
Speaker 1: I think he would be a much better playmaking safety

916
00:51:06,120 --> 00:51:09,320
Speaker 1: than he is at cornerback. Wow. So you're saying, re

917
00:51:09,560 --> 00:51:13,160
Speaker 1: shign Byron Jones, move them the safety, I am saying that,

918
00:51:13,200 --> 00:51:15,520
Speaker 1: and then address corner elsewhere, whether it be the draft

919
00:51:15,600 --> 00:51:18,080
Speaker 1: or free as true. That's what you're also not bringing

920
00:51:18,120 --> 00:51:19,839
Speaker 1: a back Robert Quinn. At the same time, I am

921
00:51:19,840 --> 00:51:24,239
Speaker 1: not bringing back if only because I can't do it all.

922
00:51:23,600 --> 00:51:27,440
Speaker 1: Can't keep Quinn. I keep Quinn. But if I had

923
00:51:27,440 --> 00:51:30,839
Speaker 1: to choose between Jones and Quinn, talking about a guy

924
00:51:30,880 --> 00:51:34,000
Speaker 1: who has much more potential to play in the league

925
00:51:34,040 --> 00:51:38,440
Speaker 1: longer versus of an older defensive lineman who was balling

926
00:51:38,520 --> 00:51:41,279
Speaker 1: last year. Don't get me wrong, but if I had

927
00:51:41,320 --> 00:51:45,479
Speaker 1: to choose, I keep the younger stud and and make

928
00:51:45,560 --> 00:51:49,359
Speaker 1: him adapt to this position. Make him adapt because he

929
00:51:49,520 --> 00:51:54,840
Speaker 1: is a playmaking athlete. He just needs to be put

930
00:51:54,880 --> 00:51:57,880
Speaker 1: in position to make plays interesting, and safety would be

931
00:51:57,960 --> 00:51:59,640
Speaker 1: the way to do that. I didn't have that one

932
00:51:59,640 --> 00:52:06,960
Speaker 1: on my I'm talking nobody crazy. Heck, the wheels are

933
00:52:06,960 --> 00:52:11,399
Speaker 1: still spinning here. You gave me two minies. Go with

934
00:52:11,400 --> 00:52:14,560
Speaker 1: your ell. I'm gonna give him my option. So I'm

935
00:52:14,560 --> 00:52:18,799
Speaker 1: not going that's fine, that's fine. I tell you what.

936
00:52:18,880 --> 00:52:20,840
Speaker 1: Let me play the devil's advocate here. Make this a

937
00:52:20,840 --> 00:52:24,600
Speaker 1: little interesting. So sign and trade Dak. All right, get

938
00:52:24,640 --> 00:52:28,120
Speaker 1: some extra picks, Okay, relegate those. You're going straight to d.

939
00:52:28,560 --> 00:52:33,000
Speaker 1: I'm going straight to defense. I'm going straight. Yeah, I'm

940
00:52:33,000 --> 00:52:35,200
Speaker 1: going straight to D. I guess something. I go when

941
00:52:35,239 --> 00:52:37,280
Speaker 1: I get extra picks and I sure up my defense.

942
00:52:37,320 --> 00:52:41,520
Speaker 1: I get some defensive linemen. I get a linebacker to

943
00:52:41,560 --> 00:52:45,920
Speaker 1: help me with potentially the problem with Layton vander esh

944
00:52:46,000 --> 00:52:48,600
Speaker 1: if that's not corrected. I need a free safety. So

945
00:52:48,640 --> 00:52:54,360
Speaker 1: I need an all world free safety immediately. I either way, okay,

946
00:52:54,520 --> 00:52:57,320
Speaker 1: either way, and I look into free agency for guys

947
00:52:57,320 --> 00:52:59,759
Speaker 1: like Kyle Vanoy. You know, I get need some guys.

948
00:52:59,760 --> 00:53:02,640
Speaker 1: That's an apply pressure on the Mike Nolan's defense. I

949
00:53:02,719 --> 00:53:06,160
Speaker 1: signed a Mark Cooper, give him a deal immediately. I

950
00:53:06,280 --> 00:53:10,080
Speaker 1: keep my wide receivers long term, big money, and also

951
00:53:10,160 --> 00:53:14,440
Speaker 1: get some guys. Uh, get some wide receivers in the draft.

952
00:53:14,760 --> 00:53:16,719
Speaker 1: I go into free agency and I get me a

953
00:53:16,800 --> 00:53:18,759
Speaker 1: quarterback that's just not gonna blow it for me. And

954
00:53:18,800 --> 00:53:23,120
Speaker 1: I get a game manager basically game manager. Yeah, that's

955
00:53:23,440 --> 00:53:26,280
Speaker 1: that's my who. That's might be your You're not nobody

956
00:53:26,320 --> 00:53:29,560
Speaker 1: in mind right now. Wait, you're gonna be ay, Wait,

957
00:53:29,760 --> 00:53:33,680
Speaker 1: you're gonna take this team? I said, I'm playing the

958
00:53:33,680 --> 00:53:39,000
Speaker 1: Devil's after But I'm where'd you lose me? I lose

959
00:53:39,120 --> 00:53:42,640
Speaker 1: a quarterback? Yeah. From the beginning, I said, extra pick,

960
00:53:42,719 --> 00:53:44,680
Speaker 1: sign a trade I get. I get extra picks from

961
00:53:44,719 --> 00:53:47,120
Speaker 1: a team that has maybe a top five pick right now,

962
00:53:47,480 --> 00:53:50,520
Speaker 1: so Miami, and I'm gonna give this team to a

963
00:53:50,640 --> 00:53:53,400
Speaker 1: rookie quarterback at this stage. No, I'm not. I'm not

964
00:53:53,480 --> 00:53:55,640
Speaker 1: gonna necessarily no, no, no, I'm not gonna sign. I'm

965
00:53:55,680 --> 00:53:57,920
Speaker 1: not going after a quarterback. I'm going out after a

966
00:53:58,000 --> 00:54:02,920
Speaker 1: defensive stud Well whose quarter back Hill? No, no, no,

967
00:54:03,520 --> 00:54:07,759
Speaker 1: let's say I give you. I can't say that chance

968
00:54:07,800 --> 00:54:10,680
Speaker 1: to come back up? What's the other quarterback from New Orleans?

969
00:54:11,080 --> 00:54:16,080
Speaker 1: Teddy Bridgewater, Teddy b Place Dak Prescott with Teddy Bridgewater

970
00:54:17,040 --> 00:54:22,359
Speaker 1: Teddy Yeah, yeah, he is up on jan February eleventh. Hey, Mickey,

971
00:54:22,400 --> 00:54:24,480
Speaker 1: it was multiple choice, all right, so you have one

972
00:54:24,520 --> 00:54:26,759
Speaker 1: as well. So hold on, okay, No, I was just

973
00:54:26,880 --> 00:54:28,920
Speaker 1: trying to see who was playing quarterback. I got you

974
00:54:29,040 --> 00:54:35,160
Speaker 1: Teddy Bridgewater player. So if he's the starting quarterback in

975
00:54:35,239 --> 00:54:40,040
Speaker 1: New Orleans, Drew Brees hasn't hasn't retired yet, I know,

976
00:54:40,640 --> 00:54:43,200
Speaker 1: so saying now he did well, of course, and Drew

977
00:54:43,280 --> 00:54:47,719
Speaker 1: Brees stead, so come on, he's good. He did first

978
00:54:47,760 --> 00:54:51,520
Speaker 1: of all, he did. I think he's beat the Cowboys, said,

979
00:54:51,640 --> 00:54:55,560
Speaker 1: I said, I'm playing Devil's advocate here, preface with that.

980
00:54:56,120 --> 00:54:59,520
Speaker 1: And here's the thing, O, p M. I'm spending someone

981
00:54:59,600 --> 00:55:01,719
Speaker 1: else's money. I told you I'll do it, So there

982
00:55:01,760 --> 00:55:03,759
Speaker 1: you go. But maybe I was gonna go with a

983
00:55:03,920 --> 00:55:06,040
Speaker 1: scenario of getting rid of Dack, which I would never

984
00:55:06,160 --> 00:55:10,399
Speaker 1: have been. Hey, the pictures and catchers reported for Major

985
00:55:10,480 --> 00:55:12,719
Speaker 1: League spring training today, and that is out here throwing

986
00:55:12,800 --> 00:55:22,480
Speaker 1: kurballs dacks my quarterback somehow some way. I like it

987
00:55:22,640 --> 00:55:27,920
Speaker 1: all right, Uh, Amari Cooper's here somehow, some way. If

988
00:55:27,960 --> 00:55:32,839
Speaker 1: you can't choose everybody, I know if you like, I can. Uh,

989
00:55:34,400 --> 00:55:39,600
Speaker 1: I'm in a let Robert Quinn test free agency and

990
00:55:39,760 --> 00:55:43,440
Speaker 1: I'll see what the market value is. Because we've been

991
00:55:43,560 --> 00:55:48,879
Speaker 1: here before on some of these things. Right, Um, who

992
00:55:49,080 --> 00:55:52,839
Speaker 1: was it just recently? There was there was no way, uh,

993
00:55:53,400 --> 00:55:57,040
Speaker 1: they would able to resign. I'm losing the guy's name.

994
00:55:57,200 --> 00:55:59,359
Speaker 1: There's no way they can get a guy back, right,

995
00:55:59,680 --> 00:56:02,800
Speaker 1: And they got him back because market value wasn't what

996
00:56:02,960 --> 00:56:08,000
Speaker 1: everybody predicted, right, And Byron Jones, I'm going to let

997
00:56:08,120 --> 00:56:11,360
Speaker 1: him test free agency. Let me see what the price is.

998
00:56:12,520 --> 00:56:16,879
Speaker 1: You know, on one hand, with Byron Jones, we're saying, well,

999
00:56:16,920 --> 00:56:19,759
Speaker 1: Sky's not very good, you know, I don't want to

1000
00:56:19,840 --> 00:56:22,640
Speaker 1: resign him for all that money. And then on the

1001
00:56:22,719 --> 00:56:25,759
Speaker 1: other hand, you're saying he's going to cost too much

1002
00:56:25,800 --> 00:56:29,120
Speaker 1: in free agency. So why would those teams out there

1003
00:56:29,680 --> 00:56:33,799
Speaker 1: think differently than what you think. I'm not paying money

1004
00:56:33,840 --> 00:56:36,520
Speaker 1: for a guy that doesn't get interceptions? Yeah, so what

1005
00:56:36,719 --> 00:56:39,720
Speaker 1: makes you think he's going to be unaffordable in free agency.

1006
00:56:40,400 --> 00:56:42,160
Speaker 1: So let him go out there and find out what

1007
00:56:42,320 --> 00:56:44,600
Speaker 1: the what the cost is, and then I'll judge if

1008
00:56:44,680 --> 00:56:47,120
Speaker 1: I can get those two guys back, I might be

1009
00:56:47,200 --> 00:56:49,759
Speaker 1: able to get him back. You know, it happened. I

1010
00:56:49,880 --> 00:56:52,359
Speaker 1: know who it was. It was Terrence Williams. Yeah, oh,

1011
00:56:52,600 --> 00:56:55,439
Speaker 1: can't resign him. He's gonna get signed as a number

1012
00:56:55,480 --> 00:56:58,640
Speaker 1: one receiver and there was no market for him whatsoever.

1013
00:56:59,440 --> 00:57:03,719
Speaker 1: So some times you sit here considered the number one

1014
00:57:04,400 --> 00:57:07,280
Speaker 1: well that was the word at this point in that season.

1015
00:57:07,920 --> 00:57:09,719
Speaker 1: You know, it was like, well, he's going to get

1016
00:57:09,719 --> 00:57:12,600
Speaker 1: a big contract. I always like that, looked at him. Yeah, No,

1017
00:57:12,719 --> 00:57:15,320
Speaker 1: and he never was. He was a two always and

1018
00:57:15,360 --> 00:57:17,480
Speaker 1: always was going to be until he went off the

1019
00:57:17,600 --> 00:57:21,880
Speaker 1: deep end. So so if those are the four guys

1020
00:57:21,960 --> 00:57:26,200
Speaker 1: were talking about, under no circumstances, am I leaving the

1021
00:57:26,280 --> 00:57:29,640
Speaker 1: MARII Cooper leave or Dak and I'll let those other guys,

1022
00:57:30,720 --> 00:57:36,040
Speaker 1: including Quinn. Quinn is thirty six, right, I don't think,

1023
00:57:36,200 --> 00:57:39,080
Speaker 1: oh he's not that old, but he's thirty two. Thirty two?

1024
00:57:39,280 --> 00:57:42,720
Speaker 1: Maybe what what's the market value for that guy? He

1025
00:57:43,600 --> 00:57:46,960
Speaker 1: everybody keeps letting him go? Right now? Is he running

1026
00:57:47,000 --> 00:57:49,360
Speaker 1: into the same situation he did with the Rams and

1027
00:57:49,440 --> 00:57:52,560
Speaker 1: then Miami that it was always twenty nine. It was

1028
00:57:52,600 --> 00:57:59,760
Speaker 1: a four three D thirty six. He's an old soul

1029
00:58:03,040 --> 00:58:06,560
Speaker 1: and he'll he'll tell you that too. He's got eight

1030
00:58:06,680 --> 00:58:09,880
Speaker 1: years of experiences. Drafted in twenty eleven, I mean he's

1031
00:58:10,000 --> 00:58:16,320
Speaker 1: he's been around for yeah, out the league. That changes

1032
00:58:16,320 --> 00:58:19,040
Speaker 1: a little bit, a little bit in regards to my scenario,

1033
00:58:19,080 --> 00:58:21,840
Speaker 1: because I thought he was much older. Well, and the

1034
00:58:21,960 --> 00:58:25,000
Speaker 1: reason you thought that was because this will be his

1035
00:58:25,200 --> 00:58:28,520
Speaker 1: tenth season coming up. So he entered probably pretty young,

1036
00:58:29,480 --> 00:58:32,520
Speaker 1: but he always ran into a four three defense that

1037
00:58:32,720 --> 00:58:34,680
Speaker 1: was converting to a three to four. Now is he

1038
00:58:34,800 --> 00:58:39,760
Speaker 1: doing it again? But so again, I think you got

1039
00:58:39,880 --> 00:58:42,280
Speaker 1: to let him test free agency those two guys and

1040
00:58:42,440 --> 00:58:45,440
Speaker 1: see what they're worth, and then I decide can I

1041
00:58:45,560 --> 00:58:48,480
Speaker 1: match that offer or is it going to be Anthony Hitchins?

1042
00:58:48,880 --> 00:58:52,760
Speaker 1: And I can't afford that much money on a week

1043
00:58:52,880 --> 00:58:58,560
Speaker 1: side backup middle linebacker linebacker bowl? Yeah with a Super

1044
00:58:58,600 --> 00:59:02,439
Speaker 1: Bowl ring right so um, which, by the way, Morris

1045
00:59:02,480 --> 00:59:09,040
Speaker 1: Clayburne has a Super Bowl, played games and no playoff

1046
00:59:09,160 --> 00:59:11,120
Speaker 1: games and he got a super Bow. Got you've got

1047
00:59:11,200 --> 00:59:16,440
Speaker 1: a linebacker? I do have? What now? You have a

1048
00:59:16,760 --> 00:59:18,560
Speaker 1: you have a linebacker on the roster right now that

1049
00:59:18,640 --> 00:59:22,600
Speaker 1: has a Super Bowl ring. Malcolm Smith is an MVP

1050
00:59:22,720 --> 00:59:24,880
Speaker 1: two Yeah, is here? Is he one of those? I

1051
00:59:24,880 --> 00:59:26,560
Speaker 1: don't think so. I think he still they signed him

1052
00:59:26,560 --> 00:59:29,040
Speaker 1: to two years year. I might be wrong on that,

1053
00:59:29,200 --> 00:59:32,520
Speaker 1: but so anyway, that so, if those are the four

1054
00:59:32,600 --> 00:59:35,520
Speaker 1: guys were talking about, But then to see, I got

1055
00:59:35,600 --> 00:59:39,680
Speaker 1: other problems that you didn't mention. Who's my three technique

1056
00:59:39,720 --> 00:59:42,800
Speaker 1: defensive tackle? Yep? Yeah, that's another thing you might have

1057
00:59:42,880 --> 00:59:44,360
Speaker 1: to look at in the draft because I don't know

1058
00:59:44,440 --> 00:59:47,160
Speaker 1: that I can trust that Tristan Hill's gonna just automatically

1059
00:59:47,240 --> 00:59:49,840
Speaker 1: go out there and be a fourteen game starter. I

1060
00:59:49,960 --> 00:59:53,040
Speaker 1: am interested. You may not get Tyrone Crawford back. And

1061
00:59:53,360 --> 00:59:59,120
Speaker 1: I like Malie Collins. Yes, but again where how much

1062
01:00:00,320 --> 01:00:02,840
Speaker 1: could it be an Anthony Hitchins deal where you know,

1063
01:00:02,960 --> 01:00:06,560
Speaker 1: I like this guy, but somebody really likes them. Yeah,

1064
01:00:06,680 --> 01:00:09,840
Speaker 1: and they pay them, you know, all that guaranteed money. Yeah,

1065
01:00:09,880 --> 01:00:12,280
Speaker 1: with his decord going to the Raiders, he may end

1066
01:00:12,360 --> 01:00:14,840
Speaker 1: up going there because you know, obviously players follow coaches

1067
01:00:14,880 --> 01:00:16,920
Speaker 1: as well. When you were talking about with Cobb and

1068
01:00:17,080 --> 01:00:19,280
Speaker 1: so that's I mean, look, when I when I talk

1069
01:00:19,320 --> 01:00:22,760
Speaker 1: about all of these different scenarios they're after free agency.

1070
01:00:23,080 --> 01:00:24,800
Speaker 1: There's gonna be a lot of need, a lot more

1071
01:00:24,920 --> 01:00:27,240
Speaker 1: needs than we know right now, and so you may

1072
01:00:27,320 --> 01:00:31,040
Speaker 1: be looking at a completely depleted defense if Byron Jones

1073
01:00:31,080 --> 01:00:33,640
Speaker 1: does test the market and let's say the Philadelphia Eagles,

1074
01:00:33,680 --> 01:00:37,080
Speaker 1: as its rumor, is coveting his athletic ability and they

1075
01:00:37,160 --> 01:00:39,800
Speaker 1: signed him to a max deal, and everybody's standing around,

1076
01:00:39,800 --> 01:00:43,960
Speaker 1: gonna wait a minute, bye bye, Byron Jones, And so

1077
01:00:44,240 --> 01:00:46,240
Speaker 1: that's that's gonna be. One of the biggest things about

1078
01:00:46,320 --> 01:00:49,160
Speaker 1: free agency for us is how big is that hole

1079
01:00:49,240 --> 01:00:51,320
Speaker 1: going to be? And are we do we have the

1080
01:00:51,360 --> 01:00:54,400
Speaker 1: players under contract right now to feel that void? Or

1081
01:00:54,400 --> 01:00:56,840
Speaker 1: are we and the free agent abyss from here on?

1082
01:00:57,080 --> 01:01:02,480
Speaker 1: And look, if you're into free agency, so do you

1083
01:01:02,600 --> 01:01:05,360
Speaker 1: want the devil? You know? The one you don't know?

1084
01:01:06,040 --> 01:01:09,040
Speaker 1: Because there's a region why these other guys are free agents, right,

1085
01:01:09,440 --> 01:01:12,320
Speaker 1: somebody didn't want you. Got a lot of retreats out there, right,

1086
01:01:12,320 --> 01:01:14,160
Speaker 1: a lot of retreats, and you have to figure out

1087
01:01:14,200 --> 01:01:17,400
Speaker 1: which one works with your system. Right. Quinn came in

1088
01:01:17,520 --> 01:01:19,400
Speaker 1: do a good job for us last year. That was

1089
01:01:19,400 --> 01:01:22,800
Speaker 1: a pleasant surprise. So whatever problems he had earlier. We

1090
01:01:22,880 --> 01:01:24,919
Speaker 1: don't have to deal with it Cooper, same thing came

1091
01:01:24,960 --> 01:01:28,320
Speaker 1: in whatever problems he had in Oakland, Well, we don't

1092
01:01:28,360 --> 01:01:30,200
Speaker 1: have to worry about that because he's doing well for us,

1093
01:01:30,560 --> 01:01:34,000
Speaker 1: you know, and knowing the Cowboys kind of philosophy on

1094
01:01:34,200 --> 01:01:37,200
Speaker 1: free agency, they'd rather sign their own guys than take

1095
01:01:37,240 --> 01:01:39,400
Speaker 1: a chance on somebody you don't know. You can also

1096
01:01:39,440 --> 01:01:42,080
Speaker 1: talk about Mike McCarthy and the coaching staff getting their

1097
01:01:42,160 --> 01:01:47,160
Speaker 1: guys kind of how we alluded to earlier talking an

1098
01:01:47,680 --> 01:01:50,880
Speaker 1: exactly wanted. There's gonna be those prototypical players that at

1099
01:01:50,920 --> 01:01:53,080
Speaker 1: least prototypical in the minds of the coaching staff. And

1100
01:01:53,240 --> 01:01:55,800
Speaker 1: Sean Lee's gonna be out there. He wants a place

1101
01:01:55,840 --> 01:01:59,520
Speaker 1: to come back and play. And you know, he second

1102
01:01:59,560 --> 01:02:01,840
Speaker 1: on the team and tackles by the way. Yeah, and

1103
01:02:02,000 --> 01:02:05,280
Speaker 1: the first year he played all sixteen games wasn't as

1104
01:02:05,360 --> 01:02:07,000
Speaker 1: much of a drop off as you think. Now he's

1105
01:02:07,080 --> 01:02:10,720
Speaker 1: gonna Now he's gonna turn thirty four. See that's the

1106
01:02:10,760 --> 01:02:12,640
Speaker 1: guy I was thinking about. But now, what are you

1107
01:02:13,240 --> 01:02:16,680
Speaker 1: how much how much do you you know, sir six

1108
01:02:17,640 --> 01:02:19,280
Speaker 1: how much do you want to give him? You know?

1109
01:02:19,360 --> 01:02:21,320
Speaker 1: And how much was he looking for? And how much

1110
01:02:21,440 --> 01:02:23,720
Speaker 1: is somebody else gonna offer him? It was this base

1111
01:02:23,840 --> 01:02:28,040
Speaker 1: like seven million. He took a four million dollar cut

1112
01:02:28,160 --> 01:02:31,640
Speaker 1: last year. Okay, yeah, so it was three five and

1113
01:02:31,720 --> 01:02:35,440
Speaker 1: then there was incentives. Okay, but it had been like

1114
01:02:35,640 --> 01:02:38,160
Speaker 1: seven million base. Yeah. For for that though, you can

1115
01:02:38,240 --> 01:02:41,720
Speaker 1: sign two linebackers in free agency. I mean, look, shan Lee.

1116
01:02:41,880 --> 01:02:45,400
Speaker 1: I love shun Lee's athletic ability, just reckless abandoned at

1117
01:02:45,440 --> 01:02:48,320
Speaker 1: the linebacker position. I hate to even talk about shun

1118
01:02:48,440 --> 01:02:51,240
Speaker 1: Lee leaving the Dallas Cowboys, but here we are under

1119
01:02:51,320 --> 01:02:54,480
Speaker 1: this new system. In it he may not fit what

1120
01:02:54,760 --> 01:02:57,440
Speaker 1: Mike Nolan wants to do at four three three four.

1121
01:02:57,560 --> 01:02:59,640
Speaker 1: No matter what, they're gonna be applying pressure. They're not

1122
01:02:59,640 --> 01:03:02,080
Speaker 1: gonna sit it back like they did last year, and

1123
01:03:02,240 --> 01:03:04,240
Speaker 1: no no blissing at all. They know that they have

1124
01:03:04,320 --> 01:03:07,320
Speaker 1: to apply pressure, so you gotta have. That might bode

1125
01:03:07,400 --> 01:03:12,480
Speaker 1: well for Sean, but more aggression, more aggression he gives you.

1126
01:03:13,160 --> 01:03:17,240
Speaker 1: He's your Swiss army knife at linebacker because he can

1127
01:03:17,360 --> 01:03:21,160
Speaker 1: start at the strong side assuming vander esh is good,

1128
01:03:21,640 --> 01:03:25,760
Speaker 1: and he can back up all three spots. He must

1129
01:03:25,880 --> 01:03:28,720
Speaker 1: be reliable. Y r last year with all the tackles

1130
01:03:28,720 --> 01:03:30,200
Speaker 1: we can talk about, all the things that we did

1131
01:03:30,320 --> 01:03:32,240
Speaker 1: do he was there, there were things that we just

1132
01:03:32,480 --> 01:03:35,560
Speaker 1: didn't do well. He did not tackle well last year.

1133
01:03:35,640 --> 01:03:38,680
Speaker 1: Now that was an aberration for him because that's the

1134
01:03:38,800 --> 01:03:41,520
Speaker 1: first time I've ever seen him miss so many I

1135
01:03:41,560 --> 01:03:44,040
Speaker 1: wouldn't say easy tackles, but sure what we thought was

1136
01:03:44,120 --> 01:03:46,960
Speaker 1: sure tackles. Hopefully, that was just an aberration for him.

1137
01:03:47,000 --> 01:03:49,160
Speaker 1: And if he comes back this year and we keep him,

1138
01:03:49,200 --> 01:03:51,120
Speaker 1: then he could be that guy that we could depend

1139
01:03:51,160 --> 01:03:54,360
Speaker 1: on him say, and he played much better when he

1140
01:03:54,600 --> 01:03:57,360
Speaker 1: was on the week side than when he was on

1141
01:03:57,440 --> 01:03:59,919
Speaker 1: the strong strong side. I mean, you're gonna play twenty

1142
01:04:00,120 --> 01:04:04,120
Speaker 1: snaps a game twenty five snaps, right, but the insurance

1143
01:04:04,240 --> 01:04:06,520
Speaker 1: policy of whoa what if the guy in the week

1144
01:04:06,600 --> 01:04:09,160
Speaker 1: side gets hurt, Well, Shaun Lee can play there when

1145
01:04:09,240 --> 01:04:11,760
Speaker 1: when you who's your backup in the middle, Oh, Sean

1146
01:04:11,880 --> 01:04:14,320
Speaker 1: Lee can play there? And he can play the strong

1147
01:04:14,400 --> 01:04:16,520
Speaker 1: site and then when you get to the nickel, well,

1148
01:04:16,560 --> 01:04:18,600
Speaker 1: who's your back up there? Now. They did make a

1149
01:04:18,720 --> 01:04:21,840
Speaker 1: change towards the end, saved him some snaps that had

1150
01:04:21,920 --> 01:04:26,360
Speaker 1: Thomas out there on the nickel, So they kind of

1151
01:04:26,480 --> 01:04:29,440
Speaker 1: change that up a little bit. He has to realize

1152
01:04:29,600 --> 01:04:31,480
Speaker 1: things and the other thing is is. I don't know

1153
01:04:31,600 --> 01:04:34,360
Speaker 1: how much you want you want Jalen Smith on your

1154
01:04:34,440 --> 01:04:38,560
Speaker 1: nickel d Yeah, exactly. Once again, we have shown ourselves

1155
01:04:38,640 --> 01:04:44,720
Speaker 1: to be susceptible to running backs and running quarterbacks on

1156
01:04:44,920 --> 01:04:51,240
Speaker 1: mobile too. Wow, we can address that. Then Shaun Lee

1157
01:04:51,320 --> 01:04:53,640
Speaker 1: is still gonna be a question mark for us because

1158
01:04:53,680 --> 01:04:57,520
Speaker 1: he created something last year to where he was exposed

1159
01:04:57,680 --> 01:05:00,520
Speaker 1: in certain situations. I did not know that he would

1160
01:05:00,520 --> 01:05:02,880
Speaker 1: have that kind of problem with tighten ends before last year.

1161
01:05:03,280 --> 01:05:06,160
Speaker 1: Now it's been shown. And what did I say at

1162
01:05:06,200 --> 01:05:09,760
Speaker 1: the beginning of the show. I said, all the options

1163
01:05:10,000 --> 01:05:12,400
Speaker 1: are still open for the Dallas Cowboys when it comes

1164
01:05:12,440 --> 01:05:14,640
Speaker 1: to the off season. We've talked through a bunch of those,

1165
01:05:14,720 --> 01:05:18,760
Speaker 1: but really the dominoes haven't even begun to fall, haven't

1166
01:05:18,760 --> 01:05:21,560
Speaker 1: even started following. But we're out of time here from

1167
01:05:21,560 --> 01:05:24,680
Speaker 1: that Mortgage studios. Yeah, we're a little bit over. That's okay.

1168
01:05:24,720 --> 01:05:28,200
Speaker 1: I thought you were gonna tell me we can go
