Speaker 1: week of the Super Bowl, gentleman, and yeah, we've got

18
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:24,839
Speaker 1: a lot to get to around the NFL because well,

19
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:27,840
Speaker 1: there were some trades that happened that involved quarterbacks but

20
00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:30,720
Speaker 1: I want to start talking tight end. How about that, gentleman,

21
00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:33,360
Speaker 1: And because you know, for those of you who watched

22
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:36,960
Speaker 1: this show over the course of the year, you know

23
00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:40,520
Speaker 1: that that Heckham and I are very engulfed in Texas

24
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:42,680
Speaker 1: high school football. So it's always been a dream of

25
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:45,800
Speaker 1: mine to talk Texas high school football on this show.

26
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:48,200
Speaker 1: And now we get a chance to do that because,

27
00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:53,040
Speaker 1: as of about thirty minutes ago, tight end, former tight

28
00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:56,000
Speaker 1: end soon to be Hall of Famer Jason Witton, who

29
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:59,120
Speaker 1: announced his retirement from the NFL last week, has been

30
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:02,640
Speaker 1: hired now as the head coach of the Liberty Christian

31
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:08,560
Speaker 1: Argyle Christian School. Uh, they're excited to announce their new

32
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:12,040
Speaker 1: head football coach, Jason Witton. Jason, the former Dallas Cowboy

33
00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:16,120
Speaker 1: and longtime Liberty parent, will be joining the Liberty Christian

34
00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:20,240
Speaker 1: coaching staff as their head football coach. So Rob, first off,

35
00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:23,760
Speaker 1: it's another new venture for Jason Witten. We saw that

36
00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:26,400
Speaker 1: last year or I guess two years ago. His new

37
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:28,640
Speaker 1: venture though, was Monday Night Football. This one a little

38
00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:34,200
Speaker 1: bit more tame, but still very intriguing from WIT's perspective. Well,

39
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:37,960
Speaker 1: I need a breakdown from you guys about Argyle, Liberty, Christian,

40
00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:40,240
Speaker 1: tell me, tell me about the program. What are we

41
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:42,679
Speaker 1: working with here for Jason Witton? All right, heck, you

42
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:45,760
Speaker 1: want to go at it. This is a great absolutely, man,

43
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:50,600
Speaker 1: this is a great, great school. Obviously, the program they've

44
00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:54,760
Speaker 1: been building it over the years. Championships, golore man they've had,

45
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:57,400
Speaker 1: that's there are a few players that have been there.

46
00:02:57,600 --> 00:02:59,359
Speaker 1: I don't know where they are now, but a few

47
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:02,679
Speaker 1: guys the next star Guard guy from from this are

48
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:08,680
Speaker 1: exactly well, they're just a lot of there, a lot

49
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:10,400
Speaker 1: of they. I mean, they have turned out some talent

50
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:12,880
Speaker 1: there and couldn't be more excited for those For the

51
00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:16,360
Speaker 1: staff obviously, the players, and man, getting a guy like

52
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:18,760
Speaker 1: Jason Witten as their head coach has got to speak

53
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:22,200
Speaker 1: volumes for those players and through that program. I just

54
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:24,880
Speaker 1: know that they have been a contender for years, and

55
00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:26,800
Speaker 1: so I just look to see what he's gonna do

56
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:30,480
Speaker 1: as far as taking these guys to the next level. Yeah,

57
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:33,160
Speaker 1: those years. Just for a quick second, they were not

58
00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:35,880
Speaker 1: a contender this past year. Let's just say that he's

59
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:37,840
Speaker 1: got some work to do. They were two and seven,

60
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:40,440
Speaker 1: so he's got some work to do. Rob Whatever it

61
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:43,120
Speaker 1: comes to turning this program around, but a very rich

62
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:48,680
Speaker 1: history nonetheless as a as an organization. And he's staying home.

63
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:52,000
Speaker 1: He's staying home with family. And look, Shaun Lee has

64
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:53,520
Speaker 1: been asked the last couple of years, what are you

65
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:54,920
Speaker 1: gonna do when you retire? You're gonna be a coach?

66
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:57,680
Speaker 1: What are you gonna get into coaching? Witten is like

67
00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:00,960
Speaker 1: the prime candidate to do that because, as you know,

68
00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:04,600
Speaker 1: his grandfather really shaped his life. That was his high

69
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:07,880
Speaker 1: school coach, and I have never had any doubt that

70
00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:10,960
Speaker 1: that's what he wants to do at some point. But

71
00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:13,800
Speaker 1: you know, he's thirty eight years old and there's time

72
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:16,720
Speaker 1: to get in back in the NFL, back to go

73
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:18,760
Speaker 1: to college and coach. If that's what he wants to do.

74
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:20,200
Speaker 1: I think this is pretty cool. He gets to be

75
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:23,040
Speaker 1: around his family and get and kind of just you know,

76
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:25,120
Speaker 1: he's into the coaching thing if that's what he wants

77
00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:29,599
Speaker 1: to continue doing. So you know, Isaiah, you played with

78
00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:31,840
Speaker 1: him for a couple of years, and you know how

79
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:34,520
Speaker 1: competitive he is. And I think, you know, ending his

80
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:38,440
Speaker 1: career as he announced last week, not getting that Super Bowl,

81
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:40,640
Speaker 1: I know him well enough to know that's that's something

82
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:42,599
Speaker 1: that's he's probably going to think about every day for

83
00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:44,440
Speaker 1: the rest of his life, even if if it's for

84
00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:46,920
Speaker 1: a split second. But I think staying around the game

85
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:50,400
Speaker 1: is something that's gonna be good for him. Yeah, I

86
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:52,080
Speaker 1: think it's a good move for with man, that's a

87
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:53,760
Speaker 1: good mover with. I mean, there's not too many guys

88
00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:55,520
Speaker 1: that love the game of football more than he does.

89
00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:57,400
Speaker 1: And when you love the game that much, you want

90
00:04:57,400 --> 00:04:58,919
Speaker 1: to share it, right, You want to share it. You

91
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:01,080
Speaker 1: want to make sure that somebody feels that same love

92
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:04,560
Speaker 1: that they that they have the resources um to continue

93
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:07,760
Speaker 1: to develop as players and become who they who they

94
00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:10,760
Speaker 1: really truly hope to be one day, which is somewhere

95
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:13,080
Speaker 1: in Ken Ohio. Like he's going to be UM in

96
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:15,520
Speaker 1: a very near future. So, uh, you know, w is

97
00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:17,919
Speaker 1: A is a great guy, great personality. Um, he's a

98
00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:20,000
Speaker 1: great teacher. I don't I don't think there's ever been

99
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:23,000
Speaker 1: a question about that. His leadership is second to none,

100
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:25,040
Speaker 1: and these guys are gonna be blessed to have him

101
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:27,720
Speaker 1: as their head coach. Isaiah, if you sit out an

102
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:30,200
Speaker 1: email yet, he's gonna be his offensive coordinator down there

103
00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:32,680
Speaker 1: and argyle, you're gonna figure out a way to get there.

104
00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:36,440
Speaker 1: And uh no, I have my thoughts about being a

105
00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:38,560
Speaker 1: coach this offseason. Blood A couple of people ask me

106
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:40,800
Speaker 1: and I was like, I'm not sure if I'm ready

107
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:42,159
Speaker 1: for that. I'm not sure if I'm ready for that.

108
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:43,840
Speaker 1: But you know what, I am going to support him.

109
00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:48,880
Speaker 1: Huh but yet yet the operative work. Yeah, it's a

110
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:52,760
Speaker 1: good point, you know. Yeah, maybe maybe if we get

111
00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:55,520
Speaker 1: Buried Church is a package deal and put Buried Church

112
00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:58,280
Speaker 1: on the defensive side and he's the defensive coordinator, then

113
00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:02,559
Speaker 1: maybe you'll find a way to get it done. We've

114
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:06,800
Speaker 1: had some conversations. Never know, I never know, very get

115
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:09,159
Speaker 1: a great coach too, you know, I will say this.

116
00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:13,240
Speaker 1: We got a glimpse into Witten's coaching style year to

117
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:17,279
Speaker 1: year when when Jason Garrett did the Cowboys you day

118
00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:20,760
Speaker 1: every every year with high school kids getting to be

119
00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:23,920
Speaker 1: coached by Cowboys players and dude, he was super intense,

120
00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:26,440
Speaker 1: as you would expect, like, Whiten's a nice guy, but

121
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:32,679
Speaker 1: there is a flip switch. Yeah, he loves the game. Yeah, yeah,

122
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:35,240
Speaker 1: it's it's evident, right, he loves a game. And if

123
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:36,760
Speaker 1: you and if you don't honor the game and the

124
00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:38,960
Speaker 1: way in which and which you should and which way

125
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:41,279
Speaker 1: he perceives that you should. Oh, you're gonna catch the raft.

126
00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:44,400
Speaker 1: Believe that either little bdiy is gonna come out and

127
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:47,480
Speaker 1: bdies can come out. He gets really intense. So those

128
00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:49,760
Speaker 1: those high school players that they might be excited today

129
00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:53,120
Speaker 1: come conditioning, Oh lord yeah us, well, and there's gonna

130
00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:56,080
Speaker 1: be so that that school Just for those of you

131
00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:58,360
Speaker 1: outside of the Dallas Fort Worth area, it's a very

132
00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:02,960
Speaker 1: highly privileged area and it's a really really fantastic student

133
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:05,400
Speaker 1: body and parents around it. I mean, it is a

134
00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:08,920
Speaker 1: top notch school. And then you talk about the program. Yeah,

135
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:11,240
Speaker 1: they've got a lot of history. They haven't been as

136
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:14,400
Speaker 1: successful as of late as they want to be, but

137
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:18,960
Speaker 1: it's a very very talented area, like very very talent

138
00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:22,240
Speaker 1: rich area. Argyle High School to public school that's in

139
00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:25,280
Speaker 1: the area down the street has won state title after

140
00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:28,160
Speaker 1: state title after state title. So with this being a

141
00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:31,080
Speaker 1: private school, Jason Witton could potentially recruit. So maybe some

142
00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:36,160
Speaker 1: practice that maybe alluring players into his program, some highly

143
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:38,760
Speaker 1: talented guys, and I think it won't take very long

144
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:41,840
Speaker 1: for Jason Witten. But congratulations to big Witness family staying

145
00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:45,360
Speaker 1: home and a great opportunity for him and for Texas

146
00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:48,160
Speaker 1: high school football at the same time. Now, there has

147
00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:51,720
Speaker 1: been some new opportunity throughout the NFL over this offseason

148
00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:54,040
Speaker 1: as well, and we knew the quarterback carousel was coming.

149
00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:58,680
Speaker 1: Well it's already started via the Los Angeles Rams and

150
00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:01,640
Speaker 1: the Detroit Lions. For those Cowboys fans that are tuning

151
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:04,080
Speaker 1: in because we are talking Cowboys, don't worry. We're gonna

152
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:06,600
Speaker 1: turn this back to Dak Prescott here in just a

153
00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:09,800
Speaker 1: little bit. But first I wanted to get y'all's reaction

154
00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:13,520
Speaker 1: on the Rams and the Lions trade Matthew Stafford going

155
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:17,400
Speaker 1: to LA two first round picks Jared Goff on their

156
00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:19,720
Speaker 1: way to Detroit. Now there was a couple extra pieces

157
00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:21,160
Speaker 1: in there as well, But Rob, what did you think

158
00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:24,360
Speaker 1: about the trade overall? And do you think that the

159
00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:27,440
Speaker 1: Rams got enough and return in Matthew Stafford, because now

160
00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:34,200
Speaker 1: this quarterback market gets very intriguing. My first thought was, wow,

161
00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:37,400
Speaker 1: you know, I like when you see Jared Goff, who

162
00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:39,240
Speaker 1: played in the Super Bowl a couple of years ago

163
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:43,120
Speaker 1: and has the contract that he has and he's viewed

164
00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:45,680
Speaker 1: by some as like a throw in as part of

165
00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:47,640
Speaker 1: this trade. You know, we talked about this in our

166
00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:50,240
Speaker 1: text group the other day. It's like it's yeah, oh yeah,

167
00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:52,560
Speaker 1: Jared Goff, but you got two first round picks in

168
00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:56,040
Speaker 1: a future third round pick in addition, like that is

169
00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:58,880
Speaker 1: a huge haul for Detroit. And like they signed Dan

170
00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:01,320
Speaker 1: Campbell to like a six year deal as the new

171
00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:03,400
Speaker 1: head coach, so they're not in a hurry here. They're

172
00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:08,000
Speaker 1: trying to rebuild. And so it just shows you, you know,

173
00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:10,920
Speaker 1: when you're a team like the Rams that thinks you're close,

174
00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:16,000
Speaker 1: you know, just keep mortgaging that future basically because you know,

175
00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:18,200
Speaker 1: I mean, they just keep trading away first round picks,

176
00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:21,320
Speaker 1: and it makes me wonder guys, like, are other teams

177
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:24,800
Speaker 1: gonna start doing this? Because I don't think it works

178
00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:27,000
Speaker 1: from a long term point of view. I don't think

179
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:31,320
Speaker 1: it's very efficient operating business because of the financials involved.

180
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:34,439
Speaker 1: The draft is so important. But I mean, they're kind

181
00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:36,560
Speaker 1: of like the Lakers right now. They don't care about

182
00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:39,000
Speaker 1: the future. They're just trying to win now and who

183
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:40,560
Speaker 1: cares if we don't have a first round pick for

184
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:46,720
Speaker 1: five more years or whatever it is. Well, I think

185
00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:49,640
Speaker 1: in the business of the NFL, we've seen some pretty

186
00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:52,280
Speaker 1: bad and some pretty good deals. This is going to

187
00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:54,400
Speaker 1: rank a months Tom. I'm like, oh, this one a

188
00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:59,160
Speaker 1: bad deal on paper right now with everything that they've

189
00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:02,040
Speaker 1: given up, I mean leveraging the future of two first rounds,

190
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:05,640
Speaker 1: two first rounders, and a third and you know throw

191
00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:08,400
Speaker 1: in golf in the deal as well. So you know

192
00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:12,120
Speaker 1: it's uh, it's just one of those, it really is.

193
00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:14,640
Speaker 1: And when when I saw the one thing that I

194
00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:17,480
Speaker 1: thought of immediately was like deshaunk My mind going to

195
00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:20,839
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson and just what are they gonna give up

196
00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:23,240
Speaker 1: to get a guy like that? But just stay with

197
00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:27,720
Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford and just his opportunity that he has. Obviously,

198
00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:30,480
Speaker 1: we know Matthew Stafford very well because he's from the

199
00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:34,960
Speaker 1: Dallas area and from Holland Park. Uh. And this is

200
00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:38,200
Speaker 1: a guy that has a gun, I mean an arm.

201
00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:40,720
Speaker 1: He can make all the throws. Obviously, you have no

202
00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:44,240
Speaker 1: question marks there with him as far as his arm strength.

203
00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:47,600
Speaker 1: But you know, he hadn't want anything in Detroit. And

204
00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:49,520
Speaker 1: there are a lot of people that are gonna say

205
00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:52,559
Speaker 1: that it was the organization that bought his play down,

206
00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:55,720
Speaker 1: but he's played with some studs Megatron. I mean Roy

207
00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:59,840
Speaker 1: Williams gives bush Bell, and the list goes on. But

208
00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:03,199
Speaker 1: I think for Matthew Stafford gett an opportunity to play

209
00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:06,560
Speaker 1: for the Rams in Sean mcveigh's offense. Man, I'm really

210
00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:09,280
Speaker 1: excited to see what he can do. It's gonna, you know,

211
00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:13,200
Speaker 1: give them ability to stretch the field and expose a

212
00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:16,360
Speaker 1: lot of defenses. That's what Sean McVeigh does better than

213
00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:19,920
Speaker 1: a lot of coaches is find the mismatching, do a

214
00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:23,640
Speaker 1: lot of that from different formations. So it's gonna be

215
00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:25,680
Speaker 1: really interesting to see what they can do. I know

216
00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:27,240
Speaker 1: a lot of people all have put them in the

217
00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:30,240
Speaker 1: Super Bowl already. With matt Stafford, I'm not gonna go

218
00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:33,000
Speaker 1: that way, but it seems as though that Detroit with

219
00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:35,720
Speaker 1: Dan Campbell, their future is going to be bright as well,

220
00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:39,160
Speaker 1: because man, they're gonna have some first round picks via

221
00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:44,439
Speaker 1: the Rams for a couple of years now. Yeah, it's

222
00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:46,880
Speaker 1: kind of funny that, Robbie, as you mentioned in the

223
00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:50,040
Speaker 1: group text other day, you know, hey, two first round picks,

224
00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:52,000
Speaker 1: a third pick, and then you get a year it

225
00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:57,240
Speaker 1: goffe because this is because a toss up. No, I mean,

226
00:11:57,440 --> 00:11:59,760
Speaker 1: my understanding of the situation is that the Rams are

227
00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:02,400
Speaker 1: in a bad contract situation with Jared Goff, and they

228
00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:04,319
Speaker 1: needed to get that off their hands by any means.

229
00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:06,439
Speaker 1: And if you can, if you can get yourself out

230
00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:10,000
Speaker 1: of a bad contractual agreement and at the same time,

231
00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:12,560
Speaker 1: grab yourself somebody who's proven in this league, and that

232
00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:15,040
Speaker 1: as a proven leader and as a proven dog, I

233
00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:17,040
Speaker 1: think that's what the Rams were looking for. I think

234
00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:19,000
Speaker 1: they were looking for a dog at quarterback. It's not

235
00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:21,280
Speaker 1: to say that Jared Goff wasn't a good quarterback. I

236
00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:23,319
Speaker 1: just don't know if he fits in the dog category.

237
00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:26,319
Speaker 1: And you really need that whenever you're trying to go

238
00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:28,680
Speaker 1: out there and grab some championships. So I think that

239
00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:31,160
Speaker 1: you know that situation is what it is. I think

240
00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:32,680
Speaker 1: they gave up a whole heck of a lot to

241
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:34,840
Speaker 1: do so. But as you guys already said, you know,

242
00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:37,160
Speaker 1: these guys aren't worried about the future. I don't. I don't.

243
00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:39,920
Speaker 1: The Sea mcvays about seventeen years old, so I doubt

244
00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:41,840
Speaker 1: that he's thinking he's thinking about the future. I know

245
00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:43,680
Speaker 1: he's worried about the now because he has about thirty

246
00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:46,080
Speaker 1: more years of coaching, so he needs that ring on

247
00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:48,760
Speaker 1: his finger now. And Isaiah I think don't like it, K,

248
00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:51,400
Speaker 1: you don't like the trade. I like the trade. I

249
00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:54,040
Speaker 1: do like the trade. Actually, I was about to say, Isaiah,

250
00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:57,959
Speaker 1: and I think here on the on the island together,

251
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:00,199
Speaker 1: and it's not a very populated island right now. A

252
00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:02,800
Speaker 1: lot of people don't like this trade, and I see

253
00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:05,680
Speaker 1: where they're coming from, because there's an immense amount of

254
00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:08,880
Speaker 1: pressure on both of these guys. Both Matthew Stafford and

255
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:11,840
Speaker 1: Jared Goff have to be good. They have to go

256
00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:15,480
Speaker 1: to their respective teams now and have some success. Now,

257
00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:18,079
Speaker 1: I agree with Isaiah on the contract situation. You look

258
00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:21,000
Speaker 1: at Jared Goff's contract over the last couple of years,

259
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:23,360
Speaker 1: I mean twenty eight million dollars last year. He was

260
00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:25,880
Speaker 1: set for twenty seven point eight this year. It was

261
00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:28,240
Speaker 1: twenty five in twenty twenty two, and then you have

262
00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:31,800
Speaker 1: a potential out in twenty twenty three. But he's contracted

263
00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:34,080
Speaker 1: in till twenty twenty four. So it was not a

264
00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:36,320
Speaker 1: good contract for Jared Goff. But then you look at

265
00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:38,640
Speaker 1: the rams in what they gave up. Some of the

266
00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:42,320
Speaker 1: stats on this trade are just mind boggling. The fact

267
00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:47,040
Speaker 1: that one Los Angeles right now has slated themselves for

268
00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:50,360
Speaker 1: not having a first round pick from twenty seventeen till

269
00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:55,080
Speaker 1: twenty twenty three almost or that's seven years full of

270
00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:58,319
Speaker 1: draft picks that they have given up at summer to Jacksonville,

271
00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:01,160
Speaker 1: some now to Detroit. Of course, the trade that got

272
00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:04,280
Speaker 1: Jared Golf netted two first round picks, and then they

273
00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:06,439
Speaker 1: trade two first round picks to get rid of the guy.

274
00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:10,080
Speaker 1: So it's a crazy trade that hasn't been seen in

275
00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:12,800
Speaker 1: the NFL. For instance, it's the first exchange the first

276
00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:15,839
Speaker 1: number one overall picks in the common draft era since

277
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:19,680
Speaker 1: nineteen sixty seven, So it's been a long time since

278
00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:21,880
Speaker 1: we've seen a trade like this, and I think that

279
00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:23,760
Speaker 1: puts a lot of pressure on these quarterbacks. But when

280
00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:26,280
Speaker 1: you look at it on paper, the Rams now have

281
00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:28,600
Speaker 1: a chance to win. Now they get rid of the

282
00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:32,200
Speaker 1: contract situation, which are two that's two very positive things

283
00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:34,680
Speaker 1: for Los Angeles. Yeah, they gave up a lot, and

284
00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:37,200
Speaker 1: I agree they did give up a lot, But now

285
00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:40,240
Speaker 1: Detroit has a chance to build and be and to

286
00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:43,440
Speaker 1: start over. And if Matt Stafford doesn't work out, Isaiah,

287
00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:45,920
Speaker 1: then the Rams have the same thing. They can start

288
00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:50,160
Speaker 1: over in twenty twenty three. Yeah, no, I agree, I

289
00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:52,560
Speaker 1: mean one thing that nobody's really thinking about, and we're

290
00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:54,920
Speaker 1: talking about right now is the fact that how easy

291
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:58,760
Speaker 1: is it for the Rams to get free agents? Right?

292
00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:01,600
Speaker 1: Think about it? Think about it easy to move to LA. Right, So,

293
00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:03,520
Speaker 1: even though you don't have your first round draft picks,

294
00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:05,640
Speaker 1: you still are gonna have a quarterback that everybody wants

295
00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:07,720
Speaker 1: to play with. Right, you have some dogs in the

296
00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:10,160
Speaker 1: backfield and some dogs at the receiver position. There's gonna

297
00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:11,520
Speaker 1: be guys that they want to come play on the

298
00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:13,520
Speaker 1: office side of the ball. Flip the script. On the

299
00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:15,880
Speaker 1: other side of the ball, your secondary you got Ramsey,

300
00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:18,520
Speaker 1: you'r d line, you got a freaking Donald. Guys want

301
00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:21,800
Speaker 1: to come to LA and live the Lala life. And oh,

302
00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:24,000
Speaker 1: by the way, there's some really good dogs on this team.

303
00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:27,120
Speaker 1: So it's not as difficult for guys. It's not they're

304
00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:29,760
Speaker 1: not as in bad How can I say this, They're

305
00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:32,640
Speaker 1: not in that bad of a situation because they don't

306
00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:34,680
Speaker 1: have to develop these guys. They can wait till guys

307
00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:37,200
Speaker 1: are three or four years removing their contracts and they hope,

308
00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:38,800
Speaker 1: by the way, you guys want to come win, come

309
00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:42,000
Speaker 1: play with us, and guys are gonna be like taxes

310
00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:44,680
Speaker 1: or weather. I'm gonna get this weather and get trying

311
00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:46,280
Speaker 1: to go shoot for this ring. So I think that

312
00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:48,520
Speaker 1: they're in a good position in that regard, and their

313
00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:51,880
Speaker 1: coach doesn't hurt either. I hadn't thought about that. That's

314
00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:55,760
Speaker 1: interesting because the problem with doing this is that and

315
00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:57,800
Speaker 1: they've done it since twenty sixteen, and actually, Kyle, I

316
00:15:57,840 --> 00:15:59,640
Speaker 1: think twenty twenty fourth the first year they get their

317
00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:03,360
Speaker 1: first round pickback. But if you if you, but you

318
00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:06,760
Speaker 1: know that, I don't know their salary cap situation. But

319
00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:08,920
Speaker 1: the problem is where that that's where you gotta get.

320
00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:14,760
Speaker 1: That's that's why the drafts so important, heck, is that

321
00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:16,680
Speaker 1: you you know you're getting what you hope as an

322
00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:19,840
Speaker 1: elite player in the first round who doesn't cost that

323
00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:22,200
Speaker 1: much on your salary cap for four or five years.

324
00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:25,960
Speaker 1: And so Jalen Ramsey's a huge get, but he's not.

325
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:27,480
Speaker 1: It's kind of like when a Marie came over here.

326
00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:28,960
Speaker 1: It's a huge gip, but you can't say that a

327
00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:32,120
Speaker 1: mari in a sense was the Cowboys first round pick

328
00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:34,280
Speaker 1: because you had you signed him to a monster deal

329
00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:37,440
Speaker 1: way before a first round pick would have been signed

330
00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:39,240
Speaker 1: to it. So it just comes down to the cap.

331
00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:43,040
Speaker 1: But that's interesting what Isaiah said about you know, if

332
00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:45,680
Speaker 1: guys want to come aboard and take less and still

333
00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:48,400
Speaker 1: make an impact because it's la maybe it's a wash

334
00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:50,160
Speaker 1: and maybe they're the only type of market that can

335
00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:53,560
Speaker 1: really pull that off. There's very few that can. They

336
00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:56,600
Speaker 1: also talking about the specifics of the salary cap. I mean,

337
00:16:56,680 --> 00:16:58,320
Speaker 1: I think that's going to make the difference. I think

338
00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:00,800
Speaker 1: they have a ton of dead money on the books

339
00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:02,520
Speaker 1: that they're still going to have to deal with with

340
00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:05,800
Speaker 1: golf and also girly, so they're marching for error is

341
00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:09,160
Speaker 1: gonna be very slim and be in a situation where

342
00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:13,000
Speaker 1: you can't get those top tier players. But again, you know,

343
00:17:13,080 --> 00:17:15,360
Speaker 1: these guys are right on the customer of a championship

344
00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:18,639
Speaker 1: and this move was pushing all of your chips to

345
00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:20,639
Speaker 1: the middle of the table and saying we're all in

346
00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:23,480
Speaker 1: to go on a Super Bowl run. How long is

347
00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:26,560
Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford gonna be able to play at a high level?

348
00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:29,600
Speaker 1: And look, man, if you're Detroit, you would have to

349
00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:33,040
Speaker 1: be crazy to turn down that deal. I think any

350
00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:37,240
Speaker 1: team two number ones, a three and the first overall player,

351
00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:40,720
Speaker 1: and thinking about Detroit, they're still going in my opinion,

352
00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:45,840
Speaker 1: I think they're still going to draft a quarterback this year. So, man,

353
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:48,800
Speaker 1: Golf just went from LA. He just went from LA

354
00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:53,960
Speaker 1: to Detroit and a quarterback battle. So man, all prayers

355
00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:56,720
Speaker 1: up for Jared Golf. We'll go bad for the man.

356
00:17:56,800 --> 00:17:59,680
Speaker 1: Did you did you see his quote? His course, I'm

357
00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:02,600
Speaker 1: happy to be playing for a team that actually wants me.

358
00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:06,199
Speaker 1: For a guy, Cherry Off, I think if I had

359
00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:10,639
Speaker 1: to paycheck, I'd be okay. Now with the Rams, you

360
00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:13,600
Speaker 1: talk about wanting to win now and maybe not caring

361
00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:15,920
Speaker 1: as much about the future and about the draft picks

362
00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:19,080
Speaker 1: and YadA, YadA, YadA whenever the Rams. You look at

363
00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:21,359
Speaker 1: this division in the NFC West, the Seahawks are a

364
00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:22,919
Speaker 1: little bit down. I mean, they've got a little bit

365
00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:25,320
Speaker 1: of turmoil. And I'm not saying they're bad by any means.

366
00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:27,600
Speaker 1: I think the Seahawks are in a great situation, but

367
00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:29,920
Speaker 1: they're not as good as the Seahawks have been previously.

368
00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:33,480
Speaker 1: The Cardinals are on the ascension, They're starting to climb

369
00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:36,480
Speaker 1: the ranks. They're starting to win games. And how long

370
00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:39,840
Speaker 1: until Kyler Murray and they and Cliff Kingsbury all get

371
00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:41,520
Speaker 1: it together and then the forty nine ers, of course

372
00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:43,399
Speaker 1: had a down year as well, So maybe the Rams

373
00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:45,800
Speaker 1: are looking at this as we've got a two or

374
00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:47,800
Speaker 1: three year window to try and get out of this

375
00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:51,439
Speaker 1: division and make a playoff run. Let's try and do it,

376
00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:55,720
Speaker 1: because we made the playoffs this year. If it doesn't matter, yeah,

377
00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:58,840
Speaker 1: you get a ring up out of this, and maybe

378
00:18:59,119 --> 00:19:01,080
Speaker 1: after that if you struggle and you don't have your

379
00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:03,280
Speaker 1: picks for a couple of years, it doesn't it's worth it.

380
00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:05,080
Speaker 1: It's worth it to your fan base. So I get

381
00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:07,200
Speaker 1: it from that standpoint. I just I don't think we've

382
00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:09,240
Speaker 1: ever seen this in the NFL, in the cap era,

383
00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:11,920
Speaker 1: where teams just do not care about their first round picks.

384
00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:13,520
Speaker 1: This is why we have the draft show. This is

385
00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:15,840
Speaker 1: what this is. It's the life blood and that it's

386
00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:18,320
Speaker 1: the lifeblood of a franchise. And so they just they're

387
00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:21,040
Speaker 1: just kind of like, yeah, we're good. You know, it's interesting. Yeah,

388
00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:22,960
Speaker 1: we don't want to participate, No thanks, we'll try and

389
00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:25,280
Speaker 1: find our guys later on. That's exactly what the Rams

390
00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:27,240
Speaker 1: have done. And it is a crazy trade. But you

391
00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:30,400
Speaker 1: talk about something we haven't seen in the NFL, well,

392
00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:33,480
Speaker 1: that's certainly what's on the docket for Deshaun Watson and company.

393
00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:39,199
Speaker 1: How does DeShawn Watson's situation relate to Dak Prescott's. We're

394
00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:41,040

453
00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:10,160
Speaker 1: We were talking about the quarterback situation in the trade

454
00:23:10,160 --> 00:23:13,919
Speaker 1: between the Rams and the Detroit Lions and how that

455

Speaker 1: Now Deshaun Watson, of course, it's been going back and

459
00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:27,520
Speaker 1: forth with him in the Houston Texans and just how

460
00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:29,639
Speaker 1: things are going to turn out there, nobody really knows.

461
00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:33,680
Speaker 1: But whenever it comes to Dak Prescott, I think this

462
00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:35,800
Speaker 1: is starting to show just how tough it is to

463
00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:39,240
Speaker 1: find a franchise quarterback in the NFL and just how

464
00:23:39,320 --> 00:23:41,800
Speaker 1: much you need to hold on the one once you

465
00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:44,240
Speaker 1: find him. And because I mean, you look at two

466
00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:47,480
Speaker 1: first rounds swapping in Detroit in LA the other or

467
00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:50,719
Speaker 1: not even first rounders, first overall picks swapping in Detroit

468
00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:53,199
Speaker 1: in LA. Then you look at the Texans situation, and

469
00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:55,360
Speaker 1: now you look at the Cowboys and the negotiations are

470
00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:58,399
Speaker 1: ongoing and everything that's going on with that. But heckma,

471
00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:01,560
Speaker 1: how imperative is it that you hold on to Dak

472
00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:05,160
Speaker 1: Prescott now because this quarterback market continues to explode year

473
00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:09,320
Speaker 1: after year. Yeah, it just shows you how hard it

474
00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:13,080
Speaker 1: is to find a quarterback. And you know, seems take

475
00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:15,240
Speaker 1: a swing and a miss all the time in the

476
00:24:15,280 --> 00:24:17,240
Speaker 1: first round on guys that they think can be those

477
00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:21,680
Speaker 1: transcendent talents to change your program, change your franchise. And man,

478
00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:24,040
Speaker 1: with DeShawn Watson, I just gotta say I do not

479
00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:29,159
Speaker 1: enjoy the contentiousness between him and the Texas Texans organization.

480
00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:32,760
Speaker 1: It just seemed like it went downhill really fast. And guys,

481
00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:34,639
Speaker 1: if you can get in the Hotel time machine and

482
00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:37,040
Speaker 1: go back just a year and three weeks ago, the

483
00:24:37,119 --> 00:24:40,680
Speaker 1: Kansas City the Texans had a twenty four point lead

484
00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:44,160
Speaker 1: on the Kansas City Chiefs, right, and so, man, when

485
00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:46,480
Speaker 1: you talk about it was all good just a week ago,

486
00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:50,359
Speaker 1: that's it, you know, because they were all the same page.

487
00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:52,639
Speaker 1: They were looking like they were on their way to

488
00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:56,000
Speaker 1: a super Bowl. And even this year in twenty twenty,

489
00:24:56,840 --> 00:24:59,720
Speaker 1: if you talk about DeShawn Watson having a seventy percent

490
00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:03,679
Speaker 1: completion rate and the Super Bowl eraror Man, this hadn't

491
00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:06,600
Speaker 1: been any quarterbacks that ever not go to the super

492
00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:09,920
Speaker 1: Bowl with a seventy percent completion rate, and Deshaun Watson

493
00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:12,840
Speaker 1: is that man and just seeing everything that's going on

494
00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:15,359
Speaker 1: between those guys, and he has the hundred and fifty

495
00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:19,119
Speaker 1: million dollars contract, but yet he still wants out for

496
00:25:19,280 --> 00:25:23,600
Speaker 1: Dak Man. I'm just I'm hopeful that the communicate, the

497
00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:27,040
Speaker 1: lines of communication are open and these guys are willing

498
00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:29,720
Speaker 1: to make this deal work. I mean, there are two

499
00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:32,040
Speaker 1: schools of thought with it. There's people that believe that

500
00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:35,080
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott can only win if he has, you know,

501
00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:39,199
Speaker 1: talented players around him, or he doesn't make all of

502
00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:42,760
Speaker 1: the top tier throws as a Ben or Pat Mahomes

503
00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:44,879
Speaker 1: or Russell Wilson makes. So it just seems like with

504
00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:48,960
Speaker 1: Dak the goalpost is always being moved depending on how

505
00:25:49,040 --> 00:25:51,320
Speaker 1: you think about him. For me, and I think, I

506
00:25:51,320 --> 00:25:53,280
Speaker 1: don't know about for you guys, but twenty twenty to

507
00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:56,880
Speaker 1: me prove that his leadership was missing. I mean, he's

508
00:25:56,920 --> 00:25:59,280
Speaker 1: a pro, he's a study's the face of your franchise.

509
00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:01,960
Speaker 1: He does on it all for you, and yeah, he's

510
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:05,960
Speaker 1: improved himself as a quarterback year after year. I'm just

511
00:26:06,040 --> 00:26:08,520
Speaker 1: hoping that this deal gets done, and it's not another

512
00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:10,840
Speaker 1: off season where we talk about this every day and

513
00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:14,679
Speaker 1: then it ends up him being franchised and that again,

514
00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:19,320
Speaker 1: that contentiousness just grows between him, he and the organization.

515
00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:23,199
Speaker 1: Rob Do you know if any talks that have happened

516
00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:27,159
Speaker 1: between Dak Prescott and the Cowboys over the course of

517
00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:29,280
Speaker 1: this off season, because I mean, they could have started

518
00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:32,280
Speaker 1: talking as soon as the Cowboys were eliminated against the

519
00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:36,560
Speaker 1: Giants that final week of the regular season, right Yeah,

520
00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:39,600
Speaker 1: as soon as the Cowboys season ends, they were able

521
00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:42,000
Speaker 1: to start talking again. I don't know to what point

522
00:26:42,080 --> 00:26:46,280
Speaker 1: those talks have gone. I don't know where they're at

523
00:26:46,320 --> 00:26:50,399
Speaker 1: with that right now. I do know, I do feel

524
00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:54,960
Speaker 1: like there are some things that could potentially delay really

525
00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:58,199
Speaker 1: substantive talks returning. And that's we don't know what the

526
00:26:58,200 --> 00:27:01,080
Speaker 1: salary cap level is right now, and we won't know it.

527
00:27:01,359 --> 00:27:05,120
Speaker 1: Usually that comes out around early March. Now, the Cowboys

528
00:27:05,119 --> 00:27:07,720
Speaker 1: may have an idea of you know what it might be.

529
00:27:08,119 --> 00:27:11,600
Speaker 1: You know, obviously it's gonna drop because of the pandemic.

530
00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:15,640
Speaker 1: There's that. There's also Dak coming off the injury. Everything

531
00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:18,679
Speaker 1: we've heard publicly they feel great about that. His recovery

532
00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:23,840
Speaker 1: so there are some extra layers to the talks when

533
00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:26,840
Speaker 1: they resume again. If they haven't yet, then they have

534
00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:29,200
Speaker 1: in past years. But I do think once they do

535
00:27:29,280 --> 00:27:32,639
Speaker 1: get going in earnest again, to me, I don't think

536
00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:35,639
Speaker 1: it should take that long to figure something out. They've

537
00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:38,520
Speaker 1: talked and talked and talked, and there have been offers

538
00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:41,520
Speaker 1: on the table from the Cowboys, and so I just think,

539
00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:44,600
Speaker 1: you know, I think the cat made roll lunch into

540
00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:48,120
Speaker 1: some things, and it's possible, you know that by March

541
00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:50,919
Speaker 1: ninth they've got to franchise him and get that placeholder

542
00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:55,040
Speaker 1: in place again. But I don't I think they've they've

543
00:27:55,040 --> 00:27:59,359
Speaker 1: talked enough around this deal that to me, you know,

544
00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:02,440
Speaker 1: I don't think it should take months and months of negotiating,

545
00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:04,800
Speaker 1: you know, if they will both sides want to get

546
00:28:04,800 --> 00:28:08,159
Speaker 1: it done, I think they can get it done. Yeah. No,

547
00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:09,639
Speaker 1: And when when when you guys look at when you

548
00:28:09,640 --> 00:28:12,160
Speaker 1: guys look at the comparison between this and the Watson

549
00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:15,560
Speaker 1: situation and just the free agency market with quarterbacks around

550
00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:19,399
Speaker 1: the league, in terms of having a solid, solidified starter, right,

551
00:28:19,440 --> 00:28:20,879
Speaker 1: a guy that you know you could depend on, a

552
00:28:20,920 --> 00:28:23,280
Speaker 1: franchise guy. I mean, I think I think this is

553
00:28:23,280 --> 00:28:26,000
Speaker 1: probably the best example of it. We saw that drop off.

554
00:28:26,160 --> 00:28:27,760
Speaker 1: I thought, you know, I know, I thought that any

555
00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:29,440
Speaker 1: Dalin was gonna be able to come in and supplemented,

556
00:28:29,480 --> 00:28:32,040
Speaker 1: and he did so once he got rolling. But we

557
00:28:32,080 --> 00:28:33,639
Speaker 1: had a lot of negative things happened this year, and

558
00:28:34,359 --> 00:28:37,800
Speaker 1: his Dax's presence was definitely missed. Um. There's no question

559
00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:41,720
Speaker 1: about his legitimacy, his his role, his position on his team.

560
00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:43,840
Speaker 1: They need him, they need him, and there needs to

561
00:28:43,840 --> 00:28:46,560
Speaker 1: be no question regarding that. Uh, and this organization needs

562
00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:47,920
Speaker 1: to do the right thing, go ahead and take care

563
00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:49,760
Speaker 1: of him. I think that that will be the case

564
00:28:49,840 --> 00:28:52,840
Speaker 1: because they know if they franchise, tag him, he's not

565
00:28:52,840 --> 00:28:56,160
Speaker 1: coming back. If you franchise, if you franchise tag him

566
00:28:56,200 --> 00:28:57,760
Speaker 1: twice in a role, he is not coming back. I

567
00:28:57,800 --> 00:29:00,280
Speaker 1: don't care if you're offering him more money, he's not

568
00:29:00,360 --> 00:29:02,959
Speaker 1: coming back. Just off a principle, Alan, all right, Just

569
00:29:03,560 --> 00:29:05,240
Speaker 1: off a principle. Alan. It's just just like we're doing

570
00:29:05,280 --> 00:29:09,800
Speaker 1: the hood. It's on og. It's not happening. So I

571
00:29:08,840 --> 00:29:11,760
Speaker 1: got you. I gotta ask you, though, Isaiah, when it

572
00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:14,960
Speaker 1: comes down to quarterbacks, and you've played with some great quarterbacks,

573
00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:18,280
Speaker 1: with some great quarterbacks as far as dak in the

574
00:29:18,280 --> 00:29:21,320
Speaker 1: school of thought of him being the kind of quarterback

575
00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:25,560
Speaker 1: that makes everyone else better. What is do you add

576
00:29:25,560 --> 00:29:29,680
Speaker 1: any validity to that argument or do you believe he

577
00:29:29,840 --> 00:29:31,760
Speaker 1: is a guy that you can win with no matter

578
00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:34,880
Speaker 1: what kind of talent if you have around him. I

579
00:29:35,840 --> 00:29:38,920
Speaker 1: can't answer that to the fulfillment as as I want to,

580
00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:41,520
Speaker 1: because I don't know him like that. I ran into

581
00:29:41,600 --> 00:29:43,480
Speaker 1: him one time, so I don't really truly know his

582
00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:46,200
Speaker 1: leadership ability, nor have I had the eyes like some

583
00:29:46,240 --> 00:29:48,160
Speaker 1: of our other comrades over there hector this year that

584
00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:54,960
Speaker 1: I can watch practice but sprinkle some of that on there.

585
00:29:55,480 --> 00:29:58,640
Speaker 1: But you know, I can say with the quarterbacks that

586
00:29:58,680 --> 00:30:00,760
Speaker 1: I have been very spoiled to play with Hall of

587
00:30:00,800 --> 00:30:02,920
Speaker 1: Fame quarterbacks, no no doubt about it. And I can

588
00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:07,800
Speaker 1: tell you that all quarterbacks, all quarterbacks need talent around

589
00:30:07,840 --> 00:30:10,200
Speaker 1: them to be successful. Let's just let's just end the

590
00:30:10,240 --> 00:30:13,840
Speaker 1: conversation right there. You cannot be successful as a quarterback

591
00:30:13,880 --> 00:30:15,920
Speaker 1: if you don't have officsive line. We saw that this year.

592
00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:18,240
Speaker 1: You cannot be successful at quarterback if you don't have

593
00:30:18,280 --> 00:30:21,600
Speaker 1: receivers or throw too. Unless you got an amazing running game.

594
00:30:21,800 --> 00:30:24,520
Speaker 1: It's not happening. Right, We're not looking for game managers

595
00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:27,400
Speaker 1: to win Super Bowls. This is just not happening. Russell

596
00:30:27,440 --> 00:30:29,760
Speaker 1: Wilson is not that guy anymore. You know, he doesn't

597
00:30:29,800 --> 00:30:31,600
Speaker 1: have the running game that he wants had or Mars Shawn,

598
00:30:31,840 --> 00:30:33,240
Speaker 1: you know, a Hall of Fame running back. Now you

599
00:30:33,320 --> 00:30:34,640
Speaker 1: gotta go out there and get it done with with

600
00:30:34,760 --> 00:30:38,040
Speaker 1: just with good receivers. So you know, it's the same thing.

601
00:30:38,120 --> 00:30:40,400
Speaker 1: I think that can definitely come back, and I think

602
00:30:40,440 --> 00:30:42,800
Speaker 1: once we have things solidified, he can be that guy

603
00:30:43,840 --> 00:30:47,920
Speaker 1: that making guys better. It's it's an expectancy when you play,

604
00:30:48,080 --> 00:30:50,040
Speaker 1: when you play with TV twelve, there's a level of

605
00:30:50,120 --> 00:30:52,920
Speaker 1: expectation that you have. And that's the reason why you're

606
00:30:52,920 --> 00:30:55,600
Speaker 1: seeing what's happening right now with Tampa Bay, what's happening

607
00:30:55,600 --> 00:30:57,080
Speaker 1: with him right on the offensive side of the ball,

608
00:30:57,160 --> 00:30:59,520
Speaker 1: defensi side of the ball, and special teams. You elevate

609
00:30:59,520 --> 00:31:02,240
Speaker 1: your play because of the expectancy of what's to come.

610
00:31:02,520 --> 00:31:04,240
Speaker 1: If you have a guy that you don't know what

611
00:31:04,280 --> 00:31:06,880
Speaker 1: you're gonna get out of him, I don't what's my

612
00:31:06,960 --> 00:31:09,880
Speaker 1: expectation level. I don't know right if my guys wishy washy,

613
00:31:09,960 --> 00:31:11,280
Speaker 1: do I have a dog or do I have somebody

614
00:31:11,280 --> 00:31:13,280
Speaker 1: who's high and low? What happens when he throws it?

615
00:31:13,360 --> 00:31:15,200
Speaker 1: When he happens when he throws the three interception game?

616
00:31:15,280 --> 00:31:16,720
Speaker 1: Is he gonna come back and keep working harder? Is

617
00:31:16,760 --> 00:31:18,480
Speaker 1: he gonna go sit by himself on the end of

618
00:31:18,520 --> 00:31:19,960
Speaker 1: a bench? Right? Is he gonna come back and motivate

619
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:22,400
Speaker 1: everybody and say that's on me, let's go this next series.

620
00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:25,000
Speaker 1: There's an expectancy, right, So when you know what you're

621
00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:27,360
Speaker 1: getting out of that position, it's easy for you to

622
00:31:27,480 --> 00:31:30,800
Speaker 1: raise your level of play, and your confidence grows, Your

623
00:31:30,840 --> 00:31:33,480
Speaker 1: confidence grows. How many guys can go freaking grab a

624
00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:36,520
Speaker 1: b grunkhouse and get all these guys out of retirement

625
00:31:36,720 --> 00:31:39,280
Speaker 1: and suspension and bring him on the squad and say,

626
00:31:39,320 --> 00:31:41,080
Speaker 1: guess what, I need you to be the player that

627
00:31:41,160 --> 00:31:43,400
Speaker 1: you once were, or at least one step short of that, right,

628
00:31:43,480 --> 00:31:44,720
Speaker 1: and let's go out here and win the dog on

629
00:31:44,720 --> 00:31:47,200
Speaker 1: a championship. And guys look at you and say, okay,

630
00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:50,520
Speaker 1: so right, there's only your handful of those guys that

631
00:31:50,560 --> 00:31:53,000
Speaker 1: do it all right, So da, we're gonna see, We're

632
00:31:53,040 --> 00:31:54,680
Speaker 1: gonna see what Dak brings to the table when he

633
00:31:54,720 --> 00:31:56,800
Speaker 1: comes back this year, because we obviously know what happens

634
00:31:56,800 --> 00:31:59,480
Speaker 1: when he's not there. Well, you look even just at

635
00:31:59,480 --> 00:32:03,440
Speaker 1: the reaction that Houston has had. I mean Houston, even

636
00:32:03,480 --> 00:32:06,000
Speaker 1: with all the noise, even with all the talk and

637
00:32:06,480 --> 00:32:10,840
Speaker 1: Watson officially requesting a trade out of Houston, they still

638
00:32:10,840 --> 00:32:12,640
Speaker 1: don't want to give them up. And I think that

639
00:32:12,720 --> 00:32:15,120
Speaker 1: just shows how priceless these quarterbacks are for all the

640
00:32:15,160 --> 00:32:17,000
Speaker 1: Cowboys fans out there, and there's not a lot of

641
00:32:17,040 --> 00:32:20,280
Speaker 1: them that, during the course of the season are saying,

642
00:32:20,280 --> 00:32:23,400
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, let's trade Dak Prescott. It doesn't happen

643
00:32:23,480 --> 00:32:25,960
Speaker 1: like that. It doesn't happen where you trade the left

644
00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:32,680
Speaker 1: franchise quarterback. Look at the last two NFC champions. One

645
00:32:32,840 --> 00:32:36,200
Speaker 1: just changed quarterbacks, right because they weren't satisfied with what

646
00:32:36,240 --> 00:32:38,440
Speaker 1: they were getting from their number one overall pick from

647
00:32:38,440 --> 00:32:41,360
Speaker 1: a few years ago. Yeah, and now it just came

648
00:32:41,400 --> 00:32:43,600
Speaker 1: out this morning reports that the forty nine ers are

649
00:32:43,640 --> 00:32:46,400
Speaker 1: open to making a trade of some sort to maybe

650
00:32:46,440 --> 00:32:49,040
Speaker 1: go get another quarterback. Maybe it's Kirk Cousins, that's what

651
00:32:49,120 --> 00:32:52,480
Speaker 1: that was a report from ESPN. So you know, yeah,

652
00:32:52,520 --> 00:32:55,320
Speaker 1: they're hard to find. Great quarterbacks, are hard to find

653
00:32:55,360 --> 00:32:58,920
Speaker 1: consistently great quarterbacks, and you guys are so right. Heck isai.

654
00:32:58,960 --> 00:33:03,440
Speaker 1: He talked about quarterbacks needing help. It's not a knock

655
00:33:03,560 --> 00:33:06,960
Speaker 1: or a disc on a quarterback that they need things around.

656
00:33:06,960 --> 00:33:09,200
Speaker 1: Then why did Tom Brady go to Tampa Bay Because

657
00:33:09,200 --> 00:33:12,880
Speaker 1: they had the best best options offensively as skill positions.

658
00:33:13,080 --> 00:33:17,120
Speaker 1: The Patriots don't anymore, they really don't. And you know

659
00:33:17,160 --> 00:33:19,680
Speaker 1: another example, Aaron Rodgers. They drafted a quarterback in the

660
00:33:19,720 --> 00:33:22,000
Speaker 1: first round that pissed him off. That pissed him off

661
00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:24,200
Speaker 1: because it was it was a great receiver draft, and

662
00:33:24,240 --> 00:33:27,560
Speaker 1: they did that, yeah, to help him out. So even

663
00:33:27,640 --> 00:33:31,680
Speaker 1: the very best need help. And I think you know Dak,

664
00:33:32,320 --> 00:33:37,600
Speaker 1: I think you know you don't pay Dak necessarily just

665
00:33:37,640 --> 00:33:39,680
Speaker 1: for what he's been and he's taking you to the

666
00:33:39,680 --> 00:33:42,080
Speaker 1: second round the playoffs twice in five years, got hurt

667
00:33:42,120 --> 00:33:45,040
Speaker 1: early this past year. You pay him in part because

668
00:33:45,040 --> 00:33:48,800
Speaker 1: of what you think he can be. And they clearly believe.

669
00:33:48,960 --> 00:33:51,640
Speaker 1: I think they believe that he can become one of

670
00:33:51,680 --> 00:33:54,920
Speaker 1: the very very best quarterbacks as he gets older and

671
00:33:54,960 --> 00:33:56,920
Speaker 1: gets more time in the system. Like Isaiah, you've played

672
00:33:56,960 --> 00:33:59,320
Speaker 1: the position, there comes a certain point where you've seen

673
00:33:59,400 --> 00:34:02,920
Speaker 1: everything is to see. Yeah, and so I think health

674
00:34:02,920 --> 00:34:05,560
Speaker 1: willing they think he can get to that point and

675
00:34:05,680 --> 00:34:08,440
Speaker 1: by paying him that would be proof of that. It

676
00:34:08,520 --> 00:34:10,200
Speaker 1: is kind of sad that you have to throw the

677
00:34:10,280 --> 00:34:13,759
Speaker 1: health willing in there, because I mean, he was not.

678
00:34:14,080 --> 00:34:17,200
Speaker 1: It really never was a health willing with Dak Prescott.

679
00:34:17,280 --> 00:34:19,239
Speaker 1: He was available. He didn't miss a game from his

680
00:34:19,320 --> 00:34:22,160
Speaker 1: rookie year until year five, and I mean that ended

681
00:34:22,200 --> 00:34:24,799
Speaker 1: up being the case in twenty twenty. But HEKMA. If

682
00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:27,719
Speaker 1: you're the Cowboys and you're looking at this situation and

683
00:34:27,280 --> 00:34:30,600
Speaker 1: you're doing exactly what Rob just said and paying him

684
00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:34,120
Speaker 1: for what he can be, how much does the ankle

685
00:34:34,200 --> 00:34:37,359
Speaker 1: play into that? Because there's leverage with the ankle. I mean,

686
00:34:37,640 --> 00:34:40,000
Speaker 1: we've said that already that the leverage there is on

687
00:34:40,040 --> 00:34:42,960
Speaker 1: the Cowboys standpoint, but there's also leverage from Dak Prescott

688
00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:45,520
Speaker 1: standpoint of saying, once I went out, you saw what

689
00:34:45,640 --> 00:34:49,439
Speaker 1: your season went to after that moment happened. So where

690
00:34:49,480 --> 00:34:52,200
Speaker 1: did the Cowboys go from here in terms of evaluating

691
00:34:52,239 --> 00:34:54,399
Speaker 1: the ankle, looking at it and making sure that he

692
00:34:54,440 --> 00:34:57,960
Speaker 1: can be what Rob Phillips like the Cowboys want him

693
00:34:57,960 --> 00:35:02,080
Speaker 1: to be in the future. Man, I have a microscope

694
00:35:02,080 --> 00:35:04,759
Speaker 1: in every orfice man trying to find out how that

695
00:35:04,920 --> 00:35:07,920
Speaker 1: ankle is doing. If I'm gonna pay you forty million

696
00:35:07,960 --> 00:35:10,960
Speaker 1: dollars or around about whatever that top tier money is,

697
00:35:11,160 --> 00:35:15,200
Speaker 1: it's gonna play into a huge part of this decision

698
00:35:15,239 --> 00:35:17,880
Speaker 1: making for the Cowboys. But I don't believe that the

699
00:35:18,040 --> 00:35:19,880
Speaker 1: ankle is going to be a at least that's what

700
00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:22,160
Speaker 1: I'm hoping, right I don't believe that it's going to

701
00:35:22,239 --> 00:35:24,799
Speaker 1: be a problem for Dak to heal from this. And

702
00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:28,279
Speaker 1: you have a history of other guys healing from these

703
00:35:28,320 --> 00:35:31,279
Speaker 1: types of injuries. How does that play into his mechanics

704
00:35:31,480 --> 00:35:33,680
Speaker 1: pushing off of his foot? Will he be willing? Will

705
00:35:33,680 --> 00:35:36,520
Speaker 1: he be the same Dak Prescott. These are questions that

706
00:35:36,600 --> 00:35:40,040
Speaker 1: he's going to have to answer for this franchise. But again,

707
00:35:40,239 --> 00:35:42,160
Speaker 1: when you look at the way that teams are willing

708
00:35:42,160 --> 00:35:44,960
Speaker 1: to move guys after they sign them, you know, if

709
00:35:44,960 --> 00:35:48,239
Speaker 1: this doesn't work out for the Cowboys or Dak say,

710
00:35:48,320 --> 00:35:50,839
Speaker 1: if they sign them that you do realize that they

711
00:35:50,880 --> 00:35:53,920
Speaker 1: can move on from it potentially. Right now, it's just

712
00:35:53,960 --> 00:35:57,000
Speaker 1: in a situation where we've been talking about this, there's

713
00:35:57,000 --> 00:36:00,760
Speaker 1: been so much conjecture about this contract, and everyone believes

714
00:36:00,760 --> 00:36:03,920
Speaker 1: and I think anyone's as seeing Dak play realizes that

715
00:36:03,960 --> 00:36:07,000
Speaker 1: he's earned that contract. The thing is is that the

716
00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:09,920
Speaker 1: train the thought process on dak is is do you

717
00:36:10,239 --> 00:36:12,759
Speaker 1: do you consider him to be in the same air

718
00:36:12,960 --> 00:36:17,160
Speaker 1: as Aaron Rodgers or Russell Wilson's I think the resounding

719
00:36:17,239 --> 00:36:19,520
Speaker 1: vote is a no. And so that's where I think

720
00:36:19,640 --> 00:36:24,080
Speaker 1: the tug, where the tug of war uh internally happens

721
00:36:24,120 --> 00:36:26,600
Speaker 1: with getting him signed to a long term deal. And

722
00:36:26,920 --> 00:36:28,920
Speaker 1: that's the flip side of it, right, Like you know,

723
00:36:29,320 --> 00:36:31,200
Speaker 1: the Cowboys have said they want to have enough money

724
00:36:31,239 --> 00:36:34,040
Speaker 1: left over to field an entirely a team all the

725
00:36:34,040 --> 00:36:36,520
Speaker 1: way top to bottom that can be competitive. I understand that,

726
00:36:36,760 --> 00:36:39,480
Speaker 1: But you're also seeing the alternatives, right, I mean, when

727
00:36:39,480 --> 00:36:41,880
Speaker 1: it does, when it doesn't work out, just you know,

728
00:36:41,920 --> 00:36:44,800
Speaker 1: look inside the division, look inside the division. Three former

729
00:36:44,840 --> 00:36:48,600
Speaker 1: first round picks Dwayne Haskins and Daniel Jones, and obviously

730
00:36:48,680 --> 00:36:51,279
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz we've talked about him. Didn't work out for

731
00:36:51,320 --> 00:36:53,920
Speaker 1: their respective teams, might still work out for Winston Philly.

732
00:36:53,960 --> 00:36:56,520
Speaker 1: We'll see. But you know, you're you are rolling the

733
00:36:56,560 --> 00:36:58,440
Speaker 1: dice in the first round. Even if you think, oh,

734
00:36:58,480 --> 00:37:00,239
Speaker 1: we got a top pick, we can find a quarter back.

735
00:37:00,320 --> 00:37:04,680
Speaker 1: It's not guaranteed. Hey, how how how how bad do

736
00:37:04,760 --> 00:37:08,400
Speaker 1: you think? How regretful do you think that Green Bay

737
00:37:08,440 --> 00:37:13,319
Speaker 1: is about about taking Jordan last year? You got to

738
00:37:13,360 --> 00:37:17,600
Speaker 1: be more careful, to be more careful. Yeah, that's that

739
00:37:17,680 --> 00:37:19,600
Speaker 1: was a mistake. I mean because think about it, if

740
00:37:19,600 --> 00:37:23,719
Speaker 1: they could have put I don't want another one of those,

741
00:37:24,000 --> 00:37:27,520
Speaker 1: another wide receiver over there, man god Lee, just the

742
00:37:27,600 --> 00:37:30,680
Speaker 1: explosiveness in their offense already, and just Aaron Rodgers is

743
00:37:30,760 --> 00:37:33,319
Speaker 1: such a different difference maker. But we don't know if

744
00:37:33,360 --> 00:37:35,919
Speaker 1: that whole thing is going to implode in green Bay. Yeah,

745
00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:38,360
Speaker 1: they came out, said they came out on the floora

746
00:37:38,400 --> 00:37:40,279
Speaker 1: came out and said today that he will be the

747
00:37:40,280 --> 00:37:43,560
Speaker 1: starter next year. Yeah you better say that. Well that

748
00:37:43,719 --> 00:37:46,400
Speaker 1: that should be the case. So now here's here's the

749
00:37:46,440 --> 00:37:48,000
Speaker 1: thing about Green Bay is that I don't know if

750
00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:50,920
Speaker 1: you can necessarily say they regret it right now. They do, yes, one,

751
00:37:51,680 --> 00:37:54,600
Speaker 1: because they didn't win the NFC Championship and they're not

752
00:37:54,640 --> 00:37:56,760
Speaker 1: in the Super Bowl at the moment. Sure, yes they regretted.

753
00:37:57,080 --> 00:37:59,520
Speaker 1: But if Jordan's love turns out to be really, really good,

754
00:37:59,560 --> 00:38:02,160
Speaker 1: just how Aaron Rodgers did with Brett Farve when he

755
00:38:02,200 --> 00:38:04,239
Speaker 1: was drafted to Green Bay and Brett Farve was still

756
00:38:04,239 --> 00:38:06,919
Speaker 1: in the starters seat. And I mean if I don't

757
00:38:06,960 --> 00:38:10,160
Speaker 1: think you could say right now that or that the

758
00:38:10,200 --> 00:38:13,960
Speaker 1: green Bay Packers regret taking Aaron Rodgers whenever they had

759
00:38:14,160 --> 00:38:16,839
Speaker 1: Brett Farve. I mean they don't regret that by any means.

760
00:38:16,840 --> 00:38:19,440
Speaker 1: So if Jordan Love comes out and he just stinks

761
00:38:19,440 --> 00:38:21,600
Speaker 1: it up, then yes they will one hundred percent. That

762
00:38:21,680 --> 00:38:23,920
Speaker 1: might be the worst draft pick in the franchise history.

763
00:38:24,160 --> 00:38:25,840
Speaker 1: But at the same time, if he comes out and

764
00:38:25,920 --> 00:38:28,600
Speaker 1: balls out, whenever Aaron Rodgers is no longer in Green Bay,

765
00:38:28,800 --> 00:38:31,720
Speaker 1: then all of a sudden, you've got yourself another franchise quarterback.

766
00:38:33,320 --> 00:38:36,080
Speaker 1: That's it. That's big. If that's a big I think

767
00:38:36,120 --> 00:38:38,520
Speaker 1: I think that. I think Green Bay helped the Rams

768
00:38:38,600 --> 00:38:41,680
Speaker 1: make this trade. I think I think green Bay see

769
00:38:41,719 --> 00:38:44,000
Speaker 1: what they did this year with their draft pick, I

770
00:38:44,040 --> 00:38:45,839
Speaker 1: think they helped the Rams make this trade. They say

771
00:38:46,200 --> 00:38:48,160
Speaker 1: they drapped somebody in the first round. He didn't even

772
00:38:48,160 --> 00:38:51,000
Speaker 1: suit it up. I don't think we need our first

773
00:38:51,080 --> 00:38:54,359
Speaker 1: round draft picks. We're okay if you wanted to take

774
00:38:54,400 --> 00:38:56,880
Speaker 1: a look at quarterbacks. Just for those that are that

775
00:38:56,960 --> 00:38:59,960
Speaker 1: are interested in terms of quarterbacks that were taken when

776
00:39:00,080 --> 00:39:03,960
Speaker 1: the number ten overall pick. If you were wanting the

777
00:39:04,040 --> 00:39:06,560
Speaker 1: Cowboys to take a number ten or a quarterback at

778
00:39:06,600 --> 00:39:08,560
Speaker 1: number ten, the last one I can think of is

779
00:39:08,640 --> 00:39:11,480
Speaker 1: Josh Rosen. He was taken by the Arizona Cardinals at

780
00:39:11,840 --> 00:39:14,279
Speaker 1: number ten. Remember how much of a sure thing that

781
00:39:14,480 --> 00:39:17,359
Speaker 1: was at the time. Yeah, that that didn't work out.

782
00:39:17,440 --> 00:39:19,399
Speaker 1: Let's just say that. I mean he was replaced one

783
00:39:19,480 --> 00:39:23,200
Speaker 1: year later by Kyler Murray. So I'm just saying, if

784
00:39:23,239 --> 00:39:25,960
Speaker 1: you're wanting to take a premium pick and make it

785
00:39:25,960 --> 00:39:28,560
Speaker 1: on a quarterback, it's fine by me, but you need

786
00:39:28,600 --> 00:39:31,280
Speaker 1: to get to your not when you have a franchise quarterback,

787
00:39:31,360 --> 00:39:34,640
Speaker 1: you can't do that. And we're in February now. The

788
00:39:35,360 --> 00:39:40,240
Speaker 1: franchise slash transition tag period starts in twenty two days.

789
00:39:40,760 --> 00:39:44,640
Speaker 1: It's three weeks from tomorrow. Is whenever that franchise tag

790
00:39:44,719 --> 00:39:47,759
Speaker 1: period opens up and it goes to March ninth, and

791
00:39:47,920 --> 00:39:51,120
Speaker 1: Rob is March ninth? Is that d Day for the Cowboys?

792
00:39:51,120 --> 00:39:53,399
Speaker 1: And by d I mean Dak is that Dak Day?

793
00:39:53,440 --> 00:39:56,480
Speaker 1: By that's that's whenever you need that deal to be

794
00:39:56,560 --> 00:40:01,279
Speaker 1: done by is March ninth. I If not, then you

795
00:40:01,360 --> 00:40:04,440
Speaker 1: have to franchise him. And so you can keep you negotiating.

796
00:40:04,680 --> 00:40:08,000
Speaker 1: But I mean, I it's artificial deadlines, right. It's like,

797
00:40:08,239 --> 00:40:11,440
Speaker 1: you know, if to me, it would be very ideal

798
00:40:11,600 --> 00:40:14,720
Speaker 1: to get the deal done by the start of free agency,

799
00:40:14,800 --> 00:40:19,040
Speaker 1: which I think is March seventeenth, so you know exactly

800
00:40:19,360 --> 00:40:22,799
Speaker 1: what your cap flexibility is. And right now there's just

801
00:40:22,840 --> 00:40:25,880
Speaker 1: a lot of unknowns with that because of the pandemic.

802
00:40:26,280 --> 00:40:28,879
Speaker 1: But but again, it's artificial deadlines. Like when it really

803
00:40:28,880 --> 00:40:31,919
Speaker 1: comes down to it, it's that summer deadline of oh

804
00:40:32,000 --> 00:40:35,279
Speaker 1: this is that's d day, you know, because if Isaiah's right, man,

805
00:40:35,320 --> 00:40:37,800
Speaker 1: if it's two years on a tag, that just doesn't happen.

806
00:40:37,960 --> 00:40:40,400
Speaker 1: Where Kirk Cousins. Think about Kirk Cousins that you know

807
00:40:40,480 --> 00:40:43,359
Speaker 1: two years on tag, he left after that. So you

808
00:40:43,400 --> 00:40:45,400
Speaker 1: know that's that's the big one. When it comes right

809
00:40:45,440 --> 00:40:50,279
Speaker 1: down to it, was it give me my money. I'm

810
00:40:50,280 --> 00:40:52,759
Speaker 1: looking at some of these question Hey, I gotta question

811
00:40:53,840 --> 00:40:56,440
Speaker 1: before you hit the before you if that comes in

812
00:40:56,480 --> 00:40:58,839
Speaker 1: and says, hey I need forty million, or y'all can

813
00:40:58,880 --> 00:41:08,200
Speaker 1: miss me what you're gonna do? Sign him? Rob? Yeah,

814
00:41:08,239 --> 00:41:10,640
Speaker 1: I've said sign him. Sign him. I mean that's you know,

815
00:41:10,719 --> 00:41:15,279
Speaker 1: the prices for signing quarterbacks, the financials. It's not going down,

816
00:41:15,560 --> 00:41:18,719
Speaker 1: it's it's just going to continue to go up. Yeah,

817
00:41:18,760 --> 00:41:22,520
Speaker 1: forty million dollars would would not be a deterrent from

818
00:41:22,520 --> 00:41:25,120
Speaker 1: signing Deck. I mean that would put him, that wouldn't

819
00:41:25,120 --> 00:41:27,840
Speaker 1: put him above the top tier guy, the top guy,

820
00:41:27,960 --> 00:41:30,960
Speaker 1: So he would be in the ballpark. And look next year,

821
00:41:31,000 --> 00:41:33,120
Speaker 1: when you talk about the contracts that are coming with

822
00:41:33,239 --> 00:41:37,640
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson and other guys, they're gonna they're gonna clips

823
00:41:37,680 --> 00:41:41,640
Speaker 1: that easily. Yeah, I think I would sign him to Isaiah.

824
00:41:41,680 --> 00:41:44,440
Speaker 1: Would you not sign him at forty million? No, you

825
00:41:44,440 --> 00:41:46,320
Speaker 1: have you? I mean after this year, you have to.

826
00:41:46,920 --> 00:41:48,719
Speaker 1: I mean if it had it, had it not been

827
00:41:48,800 --> 00:41:52,840
Speaker 1: for what took place this year, probably not. But you know,

828
00:41:52,920 --> 00:41:54,920
Speaker 1: just for the argument that Heckman brought up earlier, you're

829
00:41:54,920 --> 00:41:58,359
Speaker 1: not Aaron Rodgers, You're not you know, you're not Mike

830
00:41:58,360 --> 00:42:01,440
Speaker 1: can I think right now, Yeah, you're not a Ronnie,

831
00:42:01,480 --> 00:42:05,200
Speaker 1: you're not Russell Wilson, you're not those guys. So you

832
00:42:05,239 --> 00:42:06,920
Speaker 1: haven't you haven't done what those guys have done. So

833
00:42:07,200 --> 00:42:09,440
Speaker 1: from that standpoint, no, I couldn't pay you forty but

834
00:42:09,480 --> 00:42:13,480
Speaker 1: after this year, whatever you want, sir, whenever you want,

835
00:42:14,040 --> 00:42:17,640
Speaker 1: come on, Oh Man, that's the leverage he has. So yeah,

836
00:42:17,719 --> 00:42:19,440
Speaker 1: you guys talk about the injuries. I mean the injury,

837
00:42:19,480 --> 00:42:22,040
Speaker 1: that injury that he has, he'll be He's fine, that

838
00:42:22,080 --> 00:42:24,160
Speaker 1: won't be a problem. And the thing is, you know,

839
00:42:24,200 --> 00:42:27,839
Speaker 1: if it's the tag again, it's thirty eight million, if

840
00:42:27,840 --> 00:42:30,399
Speaker 1: it's just for the one year, So yeah, I don't know,

841
00:42:30,520 --> 00:42:32,600
Speaker 1: it's it's a it's a tough it's a tough deal.

842
00:42:32,760 --> 00:42:35,120
Speaker 1: But I mean we've kind of laid it out there.

843
00:42:35,239 --> 00:42:38,759
Speaker 1: The alternatives are you're rebuilding, you know, and I don't

844
00:42:38,760 --> 00:42:40,759
Speaker 1: think they feel like they're a rebuilding team. I think

845
00:42:41,239 --> 00:42:43,640
Speaker 1: I think defensively it could take a year or two

846
00:42:43,680 --> 00:42:45,480
Speaker 1: to kind of get to where you want to be.

847
00:42:46,200 --> 00:42:48,400
Speaker 1: But if they have Dak and they get healthy, I

848
00:42:48,400 --> 00:42:50,560
Speaker 1: think they still feel like they can be very competitive

849
00:42:50,840 --> 00:42:52,760
Speaker 1: within their division. And then you get in the playoffs

850
00:42:52,800 --> 00:42:56,200
Speaker 1: and you see what happens. You know, Now, are there

851
00:42:56,239 --> 00:43:00,160
Speaker 1: alternatives to the franchise tag? If Dak Prescott gets is

852
00:43:00,200 --> 00:43:02,319
Speaker 1: deal done? Are there players on this roster where the

853
00:43:02,320 --> 00:43:06,239
Speaker 1: Cowboys could potentially franchise or transition tag a player. We're

854
00:43:06,239 --> 00:43:08,040
Speaker 1: gonna answer that question. We're also going to look at

855
00:43:08,080 --> 00:43:10,640
Speaker 1: some of the ways the Cowboys could build around Dak

856
00:43:10,640 --> 00:43:13,680
Speaker 1: Prescott and get that roster back up to contention level.

857
00:43:14,000 --> 00:43:15,799
Speaker 1: When we come back on the other side of the break,

Speaker 1: the Star in Frisco. Kyle Yeoman's heck My Harrison, Rob Phillips,

893
00:45:32,120 --> 00:45:36,120
Speaker 1: Isaiah stand back and whether you're listening to Talking Cowboys,

894
00:45:36,160 --> 00:45:38,719
Speaker 1: you're working out, maybe even trading some of those DraftKings

895
00:45:38,719 --> 00:45:42,880
Speaker 1: fantasy football players. Well, guess what you can experience audio

896
00:45:43,000 --> 00:45:47,040
Speaker 1: at a whole new level with Bows Quiet Comfort earbuds,

897
00:45:47,080 --> 00:45:50,520
Speaker 1: the official earbuds of the Dallas Cowboys. I could hear

898
00:45:50,600 --> 00:45:54,400
Speaker 1: myself in Isaiah's earbuds. And that's unfortunate because they're not

899
00:45:54,560 --> 00:45:58,120
Speaker 1: Bow's Quiet Comfort. Because it's experiencing audio at a whole

900
00:45:58,160 --> 00:46:00,560
Speaker 1: new level. It's not the right way. But I mean,

901
00:46:00,640 --> 00:46:03,359
Speaker 1: I know, heck, Ma Harrison hears me, just loud and clear. Heck,

902
00:46:03,400 --> 00:46:07,560
Speaker 1: but what's it sound like? It's like a symphony in

903
00:46:07,680 --> 00:46:15,360
Speaker 1: my head? Kyle, I don't know why that's funny every time. Yeah,

904
00:46:15,400 --> 00:46:18,239
Speaker 1: there's no reason why that should be as entertaining as

905
00:46:18,280 --> 00:46:22,960
Speaker 1: it is, just because, but it is. Okay, So I've

906
00:46:23,000 --> 00:46:26,560
Speaker 1: got a staff for you guys. I mentioned Josh Rosen

907
00:46:26,600 --> 00:46:29,000
Speaker 1: in the last segment about quarterbacks taken with a tenth

908
00:46:29,040 --> 00:46:32,719
Speaker 1: overall pick. Since two thousand and just gonna blow your mind,

909
00:46:33,360 --> 00:46:36,560
Speaker 1: there have been four quarterbacks taken with the tenth overall

910
00:46:36,600 --> 00:46:39,440
Speaker 1: pick in the NFL draft. Now, Josh Rosen was one

911
00:46:39,480 --> 00:46:41,440
Speaker 1: of them. If you want to go one year prior

912
00:46:41,440 --> 00:46:44,000
Speaker 1: to that, it was Patrick Mahomes. So right, there. I

913
00:46:44,040 --> 00:46:47,560
Speaker 1: mean fifty fifty right, that's pretty good. Jed Patrick, Mahomes,

914
00:46:47,680 --> 00:46:53,799
Speaker 1: Josh Rosen. The other two, how about Blaine Gabbert that

915
00:46:53,880 --> 00:46:57,160
Speaker 1: was quarterback out of Missouri in twenty eleven? How did

916
00:46:57,200 --> 00:47:00,920
Speaker 1: that turn out? Gentlemally? Not too great? Work home? He

917
00:47:01,080 --> 00:47:03,440
Speaker 1: still he is, but it didn't turn out too well.

918
00:47:03,480 --> 00:47:06,479
Speaker 1: The other one was actually, actually he's backing up TV twelve,

919
00:47:06,600 --> 00:47:10,200
Speaker 1: isn't he? Is he? I don't know? Actually is he? Don't?

920
00:47:10,360 --> 00:47:13,200
Speaker 1: I have no idea twel backup? I don't know about that.

921
00:47:13,239 --> 00:47:15,640
Speaker 1: I don't know about that. We just heard from Aaron

922
00:47:15,719 --> 00:47:18,080
Speaker 1: Gonzalez in the back and he said he said he

923
00:47:18,200 --> 00:47:21,360
Speaker 1: is TB twelves backup. So Aaron Gonzalez producing things. I

924
00:47:21,400 --> 00:47:23,560
Speaker 1: love it. He might get a Super Bowl ring out

925
00:47:23,600 --> 00:47:28,719
Speaker 1: the Sorry Blaine, I apologize for for dragging your name

926
00:47:28,760 --> 00:47:32,560
Speaker 1: through the mud. Okay. And then two thousand and six

927
00:47:32,920 --> 00:47:39,960
Speaker 1: Matthew Lyoner quarterback out of of course USC, but Arizona

928
00:47:40,040 --> 00:47:43,239
Speaker 1: was the one that ended up picking him. So I

929
00:47:43,280 --> 00:47:45,439
Speaker 1: don't know. Did you see this other quarterback stack? Kyle?

930
00:47:45,640 --> 00:47:50,440
Speaker 1: What's that? From going back on the deck subject, Fifteen

931
00:47:50,560 --> 00:47:54,400
Speaker 1: quarterbacks were drafted in twenty sixteen, including one raindecode of Prescott.

932
00:47:54,440 --> 00:47:58,320
Speaker 1: He is the only one left that has not been benched,

933
00:47:58,480 --> 00:48:02,040
Speaker 1: cut or traded out of fifteen and here, and there

934
00:48:02,080 --> 00:48:04,520
Speaker 1: were seven picked ahead of him. So that's a large

935
00:48:04,640 --> 00:48:07,479
Speaker 1: number quarterbacks yep, seven ahead of him. That is wild.

936
00:48:07,480 --> 00:48:10,480
Speaker 1: I couldn't believe that myself. So that's a one in

937
00:48:10,640 --> 00:48:14,640
Speaker 1: seven chance to find a quarterback in twenty sixteen, and

938
00:48:14,800 --> 00:48:18,120
Speaker 1: you got it. You hit it. And then out of

939
00:48:18,160 --> 00:48:21,799
Speaker 1: just the last twenty one years of NFL draftees, in

940
00:48:21,840 --> 00:48:24,279
Speaker 1: the spot that you're drafting at, it's a twenty five

941
00:48:24,360 --> 00:48:27,919
Speaker 1: percent chance of finding a franchise quarterback. And I mean, sure,

942
00:48:28,000 --> 00:48:30,920
Speaker 1: twenty five percent sounds great, but not really whenever you

943
00:48:30,960 --> 00:48:33,360
Speaker 1: need to find a quarterback if you have one already,

944
00:48:33,360 --> 00:48:37,160
Speaker 1: and that just doesn't work out for me. Now mentioned

945
00:48:37,360 --> 00:48:40,080
Speaker 1: some of the characters around him and trying to find

946
00:48:40,120 --> 00:48:43,919
Speaker 1: some guys in that franchise transition tag period. I mean,

947
00:48:43,960 --> 00:48:46,839
Speaker 1: I'm curious to hear Rob's take on this, because if

948
00:48:46,920 --> 00:48:50,120
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott does not get franchise tag, and by that

949
00:48:50,200 --> 00:48:52,120
Speaker 1: I mean they signed him to a long term deal,

950
00:48:52,160 --> 00:48:55,080
Speaker 1: who's the next player up that would receive a tag

951
00:48:55,120 --> 00:48:57,880
Speaker 1: either on the transition or on the franchise before that

952
00:48:57,960 --> 00:49:00,719
Speaker 1: March ninth deadline, because I mean a couple of guys

953
00:49:00,719 --> 00:49:04,799
Speaker 1: free agency wise that you don't necessarily think it would

954
00:49:04,840 --> 00:49:08,400
Speaker 1: be tag worthy Or is there anybody tagworthy from the Cowboys?

955
00:49:11,000 --> 00:49:13,919
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't see one, Kyle, I really don't.

956
00:49:13,960 --> 00:49:16,160
Speaker 1: I mean, because with a franchise tag you're talking about,

957
00:49:16,239 --> 00:49:20,000
Speaker 1: I think it's the average of the top five salaries

958
00:49:20,040 --> 00:49:22,360
Speaker 1: at a certain position. That's that's just a ton of

959
00:49:22,360 --> 00:49:25,080
Speaker 1: money you're committing. And you go past Dak in terms

960
00:49:25,120 --> 00:49:28,800
Speaker 1: of free agents, the next biggest name you could argue

961
00:49:28,920 --> 00:49:32,120
Speaker 1: is maybe Aldan Smith And yeah, I just looked it up.

962
00:49:32,120 --> 00:49:34,440
Speaker 1: I mean, the franchise tag for defensive end last year

963
00:49:34,480 --> 00:49:41,080
Speaker 1: was almost eighteen million bucks. I think that it's it's

964
00:49:41,160 --> 00:49:44,160
Speaker 1: Dak or nobody. I think, yeah, So that's a positive

965
00:49:44,200 --> 00:49:47,239
Speaker 1: thing because if you had to franchise Dak Prescott to

966
00:49:47,320 --> 00:49:50,799
Speaker 1: continue the negotiation, sure, at the moment it'll say, oh no,

967
00:49:51,600 --> 00:49:53,840
Speaker 1: we had to franchise them again. But really that's just

968
00:49:53,920 --> 00:49:56,560
Speaker 1: kind of keeping your seat at the table whenever it

969
00:49:56,560 --> 00:50:00,120
Speaker 1: comes to those negotiations. But you're not giving up another play,

970
00:50:00,280 --> 00:50:02,960
Speaker 1: like as if in last year you were worried about

971
00:50:02,960 --> 00:50:06,560
Speaker 1: either transitioning Amari Cooper. You wanted to tag a Byron Jones,

972
00:50:06,600 --> 00:50:08,400
Speaker 1: you wanted to sign a Dak Prescott. I mean, there

973
00:50:08,400 --> 00:50:11,600
Speaker 1: were so many guys last year in the offseason that

974
00:50:11,640 --> 00:50:14,919
Speaker 1: you could have placed that tag on. Since there's nobody there,

975
00:50:15,160 --> 00:50:16,759
Speaker 1: does it make you feel a little bit better? Heck,

976
00:50:16,800 --> 00:50:19,359
Speaker 1: one that you wouldn't actually have to give up a

977
00:50:19,360 --> 00:50:25,040
Speaker 1: player if that ended up needing to be franchised. Yeah.

978
00:50:25,080 --> 00:50:27,359
Speaker 1: I mean, but like Rob said, I mean, after Dak,

979
00:50:27,440 --> 00:50:29,920
Speaker 1: if you start talking about what you would give, like

980
00:50:30,000 --> 00:50:33,160
Speaker 1: to Aldon Smith and Rob who's out to Aldon Smith

981
00:50:33,160 --> 00:50:34,880
Speaker 1: as well as a free agent, that you will you

982
00:50:35,120 --> 00:50:43,120
Speaker 1: say cheeto probably Yeah. Yeah. So I just don't see

983
00:50:43,120 --> 00:50:46,480
Speaker 1: that happening either, so that that place marker for franchise

984
00:50:46,560 --> 00:50:49,080
Speaker 1: tags is not gonna be offen to any of those guys.

985
00:50:49,080 --> 00:50:57,520
Speaker 1: So LP, yeah, man, help help Lattis or nah no,

986
00:50:58,000 --> 00:51:01,799
Speaker 1: he's vested. I think it was good he's vested. Oh man.

987
00:51:02,280 --> 00:51:04,560
Speaker 1: I mean, at least there's options here for the Cowboys

988
00:51:04,560 --> 00:51:06,520
Speaker 1: and hopefully they find a way to get it done. Now.

989
00:51:06,960 --> 00:51:09,120
Speaker 1: We also got a chance to hear from Will McClay

990
00:51:09,160 --> 00:51:12,640
Speaker 1: the Senior Bowl this past week, and Will McClay in

991
00:51:12,640 --> 00:51:15,000
Speaker 1: the scouting department made the trip down the mobile that

992
00:51:15,040 --> 00:51:17,640
Speaker 1: was really about it. No coaching staff went. Really wasn't

993
00:51:17,680 --> 00:51:20,080
Speaker 1: a ton of runt office presence. But Will McClay made

994
00:51:20,120 --> 00:51:22,600
Speaker 1: his trip down to the Senior Bowl and got to

995
00:51:22,680 --> 00:51:25,439
Speaker 1: check out some collegiate guys and and meet him face

996
00:51:25,480 --> 00:51:28,400
Speaker 1: to face. I heard the Senior Bowl spent twelve thousand

997
00:51:28,440 --> 00:51:32,920
Speaker 1: dollars on plexi glass to have these meetings in person,

998
00:51:33,000 --> 00:51:37,120
Speaker 1: So over twelve grand in plexiglass to even have these

999
00:51:37,160 --> 00:51:40,400
Speaker 1: in person meetings whatsoever. And then Will McClay was a

1000
00:51:40,400 --> 00:51:43,120
Speaker 1: part of those. But Rob, anything that you took out

1001
00:51:43,160 --> 00:51:45,839
Speaker 1: about what McClay said and kind of the way that

1002
00:51:45,880 --> 00:51:51,560
Speaker 1: this draft process is headed right now, Well, yeah, like

1003
00:51:51,680 --> 00:51:53,279
Speaker 1: what you just said, I mean, it's a it's a

1004
00:51:53,280 --> 00:51:55,719
Speaker 1: new world right in terms of they got to meet

1005
00:51:55,880 --> 00:51:58,560
Speaker 1: you know, I liked he called compared to the speed dating.

1006
00:51:58,640 --> 00:52:01,720
Speaker 1: You know, it's minutes with a prospect, but it's behind glass.

1007
00:52:01,960 --> 00:52:03,680
Speaker 1: You know, you're if it's not virtual, it's got to

1008
00:52:03,719 --> 00:52:07,640
Speaker 1: be a situation like that. Usually the Senior Bowl, for

1009
00:52:08,000 --> 00:52:12,320
Speaker 1: front office folks is not just evaluating talent. It's also

1010
00:52:12,960 --> 00:52:14,760
Speaker 1: you know, guys around the league you're looking for jobs,

1011
00:52:14,800 --> 00:52:16,399
Speaker 1: you know, it's kind of a job fair too. There

1012
00:52:16,480 --> 00:52:18,640
Speaker 1: wasn't that this year, you know, And so I think

1013
00:52:18,640 --> 00:52:21,680
Speaker 1: they were strictly, you know, down to evaluating prospects, and

1014
00:52:22,280 --> 00:52:25,399
Speaker 1: you know, there are always it seems like every year

1015
00:52:25,400 --> 00:52:27,400
Speaker 1: the Cowboys are drafting somebody from the Senior Bowl. Now,

1016
00:52:27,440 --> 00:52:29,759
Speaker 1: I don't know if there's anything to that. I think,

1017
00:52:29,840 --> 00:52:32,200
Speaker 1: you know, they've done enough homework on guys that are

1018
00:52:32,239 --> 00:52:34,960
Speaker 1: senior prospects to begin with, but you go down the list.

1019
00:52:35,000 --> 00:52:37,200
Speaker 1: I mean, Dak's a guy they got to meet with

1020
00:52:37,800 --> 00:52:42,280
Speaker 1: in twenty sixteen, Zach Martin, DeMarcus Ware and small school

1021
00:52:42,800 --> 00:52:45,719
Speaker 1: prospects are usually really get an opportunity to shine on

1022
00:52:46,040 --> 00:52:49,160
Speaker 1: Senior Bowl week. So I just think it was it

1023
00:52:49,239 --> 00:52:51,000
Speaker 1: was great that they got to send people down there.

1024
00:52:51,200 --> 00:52:53,319
Speaker 1: You know, it was a limit of twelve or ten

1025
00:52:53,400 --> 00:52:57,319
Speaker 1: per team because of this situation we're in, But just

1026
00:52:57,360 --> 00:52:58,520
Speaker 1: to be able to get down there and get a

1027
00:52:58,520 --> 00:53:01,080
Speaker 1: little bit of a look and get a look at

1028
00:53:01,080 --> 00:53:03,239
Speaker 1: some guys that might have opted out. I think there

1029
00:53:03,239 --> 00:53:05,479
Speaker 1: are a few of those guys too, right, Kyle. So

1030
00:53:05,920 --> 00:53:08,600
Speaker 1: I think that that's a good situation too. Now from

1031
00:53:08,640 --> 00:53:11,600
Speaker 1: a player's standpoint, Isaiah, I mean, the Senior Bowl week

1032
00:53:11,719 --> 00:53:14,160
Speaker 1: like it is a job fair for coaches as well.

1033
00:53:14,200 --> 00:53:16,560
Speaker 1: It's your one opportunity, at least this year to get

1034
00:53:16,600 --> 00:53:18,719
Speaker 1: in front of a coaching staff. So how important is

1035
00:53:18,760 --> 00:53:22,040
Speaker 1: it knowing whenever you're going into that draft process that

1036
00:53:22,080 --> 00:53:24,640
Speaker 1: you have to have some of those relationships with coaches

1037
00:53:24,640 --> 00:53:27,480
Speaker 1: in front office in order to maybe up your draft stock.

1038
00:53:29,440 --> 00:53:31,839
Speaker 1: It's huge. Um. It was a bummer for me because

1039
00:53:31,840 --> 00:53:34,040
Speaker 1: I blew my foot out and I couldn't attended Senior Bowl.

1040
00:53:34,360 --> 00:53:37,960
Speaker 1: But um, you know when I got to the Combine,

1041
00:53:38,080 --> 00:53:40,760
Speaker 1: I was out there talking to everybody. I was shaking hands,

1042
00:53:40,840 --> 00:53:44,640
Speaker 1: kissing babies, and you know it, slepting people in the butt,

1043
00:53:44,680 --> 00:53:46,759
Speaker 1: you know, Jason Garrett, I was doing it all. Wow,

1044
00:53:46,880 --> 00:53:49,640
Speaker 1: Because that's that's the one opportunity that I personally had

1045
00:53:50,000 --> 00:53:53,279
Speaker 1: to encounter and let these guys know exactly who I was.

1046
00:53:53,520 --> 00:53:55,239
Speaker 1: So when you have an opportunity to sit down with

1047
00:53:55,280 --> 00:53:57,040
Speaker 1: these with these coaches, when you have opportunity to sit

1048
00:53:57,040 --> 00:53:59,880
Speaker 1: down with these general managers, with these owners, you know,

1049
00:54:00,120 --> 00:54:02,520
Speaker 1: even after the Combine and the Senior Bowl, you know,

1050
00:54:02,680 --> 00:54:04,040
Speaker 1: I don't know if they're gonna do it this year,

1051
00:54:04,080 --> 00:54:06,480
Speaker 1: but you know, before you can fly guys in, you know,

1052
00:54:06,520 --> 00:54:09,279
Speaker 1: you fly, guys. I remember when when when mister Jones, Jared,

1053
00:54:09,400 --> 00:54:10,960
Speaker 1: you know, double J flew me in and I got

1054
00:54:10,960 --> 00:54:12,399
Speaker 1: to sit down and talk to him face to face

1055
00:54:12,719 --> 00:54:16,319
Speaker 1: at this this massive location they called an airport um

1056
00:54:16,360 --> 00:54:20,480
Speaker 1: here at THEW and I remember sitting down having those conversations,

1057
00:54:20,480 --> 00:54:22,640
Speaker 1: and those those are the ones where they truly get

1058
00:54:22,640 --> 00:54:25,239
Speaker 1: an understanding of who you are, what your character is,

1059
00:54:25,280 --> 00:54:27,279
Speaker 1: if you're bsking them, if you're just trying to give

1060
00:54:27,360 --> 00:54:29,200
Speaker 1: right answers. Let me ask you some stuff about your

1061
00:54:29,200 --> 00:54:31,440
Speaker 1: family that nobody else has asked you before. You know,

1062
00:54:31,480 --> 00:54:32,759
Speaker 1: what are the things that you like to do in

1063
00:54:32,760 --> 00:54:35,719
Speaker 1: your spare time, Like just the regular every day who

1064
00:54:35,800 --> 00:54:39,520
Speaker 1: are you as a person? Type questions? Because so much

1065
00:54:39,560 --> 00:54:41,560
Speaker 1: of the combines, so much of the Senior Bowl, these

1066
00:54:41,640 --> 00:54:45,319
Speaker 1: these mock interviews are scripted, right, and these these agencies

1067
00:54:45,400 --> 00:54:47,040
Speaker 1: or they have this stuff down to a tea now

1068
00:54:47,040 --> 00:54:48,920
Speaker 1: where it's like, Hey, they're gonna ask you this, this

1069
00:54:49,000 --> 00:54:51,040
Speaker 1: is your response. You're gonna ask you this, this your response.

1070
00:54:51,280 --> 00:54:53,800
Speaker 1: And these owners and these general general managers and coaches

1071
00:54:53,800 --> 00:54:55,359
Speaker 1: want to get you out of that environment and find

1072
00:54:55,360 --> 00:54:59,120
Speaker 1: out exactly who it is that they're investing in. Heck, well,

1073
00:54:59,160 --> 00:55:00,920
Speaker 1: what do you think about the Senior Bowl. I mean,

1074
00:55:01,239 --> 00:55:04,520
Speaker 1: it was said Will McClay said this earlier talking about

1075
00:55:04,520 --> 00:55:07,520
Speaker 1: how it's important to know what the coaching staff is

1076
00:55:07,560 --> 00:55:10,360
Speaker 1: seeking in terms of these prospects. I mean fitting to

1077
00:55:10,480 --> 00:55:14,240
Speaker 1: dan Quinn's system, fitting into Mike McCarthy's mindset, even Kellen

1078
00:55:14,360 --> 00:55:16,520
Speaker 1: Moore on the offensive side. But at the end of

1079
00:55:16,520 --> 00:55:19,080
Speaker 1: the day, they're still looking for really good football players,

1080
00:55:19,080 --> 00:55:21,799
Speaker 1: and they're making their adjustments and they're trying to get

1081
00:55:21,840 --> 00:55:24,480
Speaker 1: to the point where as a roster you feel good

1082
00:55:24,560 --> 00:55:28,000
Speaker 1: enough to go and take best player available when April

1083
00:55:28,080 --> 00:55:30,840
Speaker 1: rolls around. But at the same time, how much of

1084
00:55:30,880 --> 00:55:33,640
Speaker 1: an evaluation process goes into it from a front office

1085
00:55:33,680 --> 00:55:36,839
Speaker 1: perspective Because Will mcclay's out here saying I want that guy,

1086
00:55:36,880 --> 00:55:38,719
Speaker 1: but the coaching staff and dan Quinn, who was a

1087
00:55:38,719 --> 00:55:43,439
Speaker 1: head coach El Square, might say he wants something different. Well,

1088
00:55:43,440 --> 00:55:45,400
Speaker 1: there's got to be a heightened sense of urgency with

1089
00:55:45,440 --> 00:55:47,879
Speaker 1: all of this, especially with dan Quinn coming in. And

1090
00:55:48,120 --> 00:55:50,520
Speaker 1: you know, the communication lines between the front office and

1091
00:55:50,560 --> 00:55:53,240
Speaker 1: the coaching staff have always been excellent and Will McClay

1092
00:55:53,280 --> 00:55:55,400
Speaker 1: has proud of itself on that and making sure that

1093
00:55:55,480 --> 00:55:58,399
Speaker 1: he communicates with his coaches on what they want. But

1094
00:55:58,800 --> 00:56:01,000
Speaker 1: you know, with COVID and the team and not having

1095
00:56:02,239 --> 00:56:04,600
Speaker 1: you know, not being able to go to any this year,

1096
00:56:04,719 --> 00:56:07,319
Speaker 1: and you know, pro days looking at a lot different. Man.

1097
00:56:07,440 --> 00:56:09,719
Speaker 1: Like I said, they are going to have to rely

1098
00:56:09,960 --> 00:56:11,920
Speaker 1: on a lot of film and getting out there and

1099
00:56:12,040 --> 00:56:14,359
Speaker 1: interviewing these guys. Because again, if you're going to pour

1100
00:56:14,480 --> 00:56:17,120
Speaker 1: millions of dollars into players that you don't actually get

1101
00:56:17,160 --> 00:56:20,280
Speaker 1: an opportunity to sit down and talk to, that changes

1102
00:56:20,320 --> 00:56:22,480
Speaker 1: the whole dynamic of the way that guys have been

1103
00:56:22,560 --> 00:56:25,520
Speaker 1: drafted in the past. But you know, I have a

1104
00:56:25,600 --> 00:56:28,760
Speaker 1: lot of confidence in Will McClay in the scouting department.

1105
00:56:28,760 --> 00:56:30,600
Speaker 1: These guys have been able to find a lot of

1106
00:56:30,719 --> 00:56:33,920
Speaker 1: diamonds in the draft. And you know, you look at

1107
00:56:34,000 --> 00:56:37,080
Speaker 1: last year and just the way that things change with COVID,

1108
00:56:37,120 --> 00:56:39,360
Speaker 1: and you know, I think that's where you had those

1109
00:56:39,360 --> 00:56:42,800
Speaker 1: players that came in that the Nis, the Reggie Robs

1110
00:56:42,840 --> 00:56:45,880
Speaker 1: that you know, look, these guys maybe became project players

1111
00:56:45,920 --> 00:56:48,759
Speaker 1: because you didn't have all the information. I don't think

1112
00:56:48,760 --> 00:56:50,560
Speaker 1: that they're going to make that mistake again this year.

1113
00:56:50,640 --> 00:56:52,879
Speaker 1: Not to say that those draft picks were mistakes, I'm

1114
00:56:52,920 --> 00:56:56,040
Speaker 1: just saying the evaluation process. It's going to be heightening.

1115
00:56:56,080 --> 00:56:58,560
Speaker 1: They're not going to be in a situation where COVID

1116
00:56:58,680 --> 00:57:01,200
Speaker 1: is this new thing and having to figure out how

1117
00:57:01,280 --> 00:57:04,040
Speaker 1: to maneuver around it. But I think it is very important.

1118
00:57:04,040 --> 00:57:06,160
Speaker 1: I mean, and if you have a guy at ten,

1119
00:57:06,600 --> 00:57:09,640
Speaker 1: that is just a no brainer. And it's gonna get

1120
00:57:09,640 --> 00:57:12,000
Speaker 1: to that point because there may be some guys that

1121
00:57:12,040 --> 00:57:15,040
Speaker 1: slide in this draft and that the Cowboys may if

1122
00:57:15,080 --> 00:57:19,080
Speaker 1: they would have even had an opportunity to get. And

1123
00:57:19,200 --> 00:57:22,040
Speaker 1: if that happens, and if that happens, what do you do?

1124
00:57:22,360 --> 00:57:25,160
Speaker 1: Because like Rob said, you may be looking at this

1125
00:57:25,160 --> 00:57:27,640
Speaker 1: guy that's may be a potential Hall of Famer and

1126
00:57:27,920 --> 00:57:33,600
Speaker 1: you have to go with me. So I don't know,

1127
00:57:34,080 --> 00:57:36,040
Speaker 1: I don't want to know what my man Rob has

1128
00:57:36,080 --> 00:57:41,120
Speaker 1: on that over these shows, but it's gonna come out

1129
00:57:44,600 --> 00:57:49,680
Speaker 1: best player available, right Rob little little on the old BPA.

1130
00:57:50,880 --> 00:57:53,120
Speaker 1: We'll see, we'll see if it comes to that. It'll

1131
00:57:53,160 --> 00:57:55,440
Speaker 1: be very interesting hack to see y'all how that might

1132
00:57:55,480 --> 00:57:59,120
Speaker 1: pan out. Gosh, i'd be so fun. Yeah, that'd be

1133
00:57:59,160 --> 00:58:02,240
Speaker 1: so fun, guys. And when I was watching the Senior Bowl,

1134
00:58:02,280 --> 00:58:04,640
Speaker 1: I mean, I saw a bunch of talent. Maybe it

1135
00:58:04,680 --> 00:58:07,520
Speaker 1: hadn't been the same Senior Bowl and years passed because

1136
00:58:07,560 --> 00:58:10,680
Speaker 1: so many guys had opted out, and you know, may

1137
00:58:10,720 --> 00:58:13,160
Speaker 1: not have wanted to go to the Senior Bowl, but man,

1138
00:58:13,200 --> 00:58:15,520
Speaker 1: I'm just used to seeing that one guy that you've

1139
00:58:15,520 --> 00:58:18,080
Speaker 1: been watching all year come to the Senior Bowl and

1140
00:58:18,240 --> 00:58:21,200
Speaker 1: just you know, hike and you go go the next

1141
00:58:21,280 --> 00:58:25,800
Speaker 1: level and guys making themselves some money at the Senior Bowl.

1142
00:58:25,840 --> 00:58:28,240
Speaker 1: You saw a few guys that did that, and so

1143
00:58:28,320 --> 00:58:30,880
Speaker 1: I'm sure i Will McClay was out there. He's got

1144
00:58:30,880 --> 00:58:33,640
Speaker 1: his pick of the letter, especially on the defensive side.

1145
00:58:34,200 --> 00:58:36,280
Speaker 1: I mean, they took three players last year from the

1146
00:58:36,280 --> 00:58:39,240
Speaker 1: Senior Bowl, Neville Gallimore, Reggie Robinson, and Bradley and I

1147
00:58:39,320 --> 00:58:42,200
Speaker 1: all three Senior Bowl guys. All three were in that

1148
00:58:42,320 --> 00:58:45,320
Speaker 1: day too early day three realm. And so I wouldn't

1149
00:58:45,400 --> 00:58:47,240
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be surprised if there were some guys there.

1150
00:58:47,280 --> 00:58:49,400
Speaker 1: I mean, there are names throughout the list that went

1151
00:58:49,480 --> 00:58:53,160
Speaker 1: down the Senior Bowl week and showed out and played decent.

1152
00:58:53,200 --> 00:58:56,280
Speaker 1: And I mean some of them had really bad practices

1153
00:58:56,720 --> 00:58:59,920
Speaker 1: but had really good games. And I mean Keith Taylor,

1154
00:59:00,000 --> 00:59:04,240
Speaker 1: the defensive back out of Washington, not great in practice,

1155
00:59:04,280 --> 00:59:06,480
Speaker 1: but he had a facastic game. I mean he was

1156
00:59:06,520 --> 00:59:09,479
Speaker 1: all over the place. That's what we do, you dub.

1157
00:59:09,560 --> 00:59:12,320
Speaker 1: And then I mean, since I mentioned one guy from

1158
00:59:12,320 --> 00:59:14,760
Speaker 1: your alma mater, I'll go to to to Rob's as well.

1159
00:59:14,840 --> 00:59:17,280
Speaker 1: But Texas A and M's Kellen Mond. I was not

1160
00:59:17,800 --> 00:59:19,680
Speaker 1: pressed with this week of practice. And then he goes

1161
00:59:19,680 --> 00:59:22,040
Speaker 1: out and he wins the MVP. He goes and wins

1162
00:59:22,040 --> 00:59:24,040
Speaker 1: the MVP of the game, and so hey, I mean

1163
00:59:24,520 --> 00:59:29,680
Speaker 1: Ken Kellen Mond is a perfect example of Oh, he

1164
00:59:29,800 --> 00:59:32,919
Speaker 1: got an offensive line that was actually really good around him,

1165
00:59:32,960 --> 00:59:35,560
Speaker 1: like in a great running game. Wow, He's he had

1166
00:59:35,600 --> 00:59:38,040
Speaker 1: a career season a senior year at A and M.

1167
00:59:38,120 --> 00:59:41,040
Speaker 1: It's like quarterbacks, if they get some help and they're good,

1168
00:59:41,080 --> 00:59:43,720
Speaker 1: they can be really good. So the other thing too, Kyle,

1169
00:59:43,800 --> 00:59:45,120
Speaker 1: that I don't know if you agree with this, but

1170
00:59:45,440 --> 00:59:47,680
Speaker 1: Bucky Brooks has been writing on the website about yeah,

1171
00:59:47,760 --> 00:59:49,960
Speaker 1: Senior Bowl all week and things that I like to

1172
00:59:50,000 --> 00:59:52,400
Speaker 1: see was he said, oh line he feels like and

1173
00:59:52,440 --> 00:59:55,680
Speaker 1: it was well represented at Senior Bowl. You could find

1174
00:59:55,720 --> 00:59:57,600
Speaker 1: some old lineman. If you're looking for depth on your

1175
00:59:57,640 --> 01:00:00,440
Speaker 1: old line for the future, doesn't I have to be

1176
01:00:00,480 --> 01:00:03,080
Speaker 1: early necessarily, So that's encouraging. No, there were a lot

1177
01:00:03,120 --> 01:00:06,919
Speaker 1: of guys. Alex Leatherwood I thought was fantastic all week long.

1178
01:00:07,040 --> 01:00:09,280
Speaker 1: Matt Rule was even. I mean, in the middle of

1179
01:00:09,280 --> 01:00:12,520
Speaker 1: the practice was talking about Alex Leatherwood and how good

1180
01:00:12,520 --> 01:00:15,000
Speaker 1: he was anticipating in the snap and so many different things.

1181
01:00:15,000 --> 01:00:17,840
Speaker 1: So if the Cowboys don't use that tenth overall pick

1182
01:00:17,920 --> 01:00:20,480
Speaker 1: to take a tackle like a Rashawn Slater or a

1183
01:00:20,560 --> 01:00:23,560
Speaker 1: Christian Derris Hour, I don't. I don't think he'll slide.

1184
01:00:23,560 --> 01:00:26,360
Speaker 1: But Pinney sul like these top three guys that are

1185
01:00:26,400 --> 01:00:29,960
Speaker 1: at the offensive tackle position, that depth needs to be there.

1186
01:00:30,040 --> 01:00:32,160
Speaker 1: You've got a comp pick in the third, You're gonna

1187
01:00:32,160 --> 01:00:34,040
Speaker 1: get a comp pick in the fourth. I mean, you're

1188
01:00:34,080 --> 01:00:36,800
Speaker 1: gonna have five picks in the top four rounds. Take

1189
01:00:36,840 --> 01:00:39,520
Speaker 1: an offensive lineman. Let's get some depth, because there's questions

1190
01:00:39,520 --> 01:00:42,880
Speaker 1: about Connor Williams. There's questions at tackle. Let's figure this

1191
01:00:42,920 --> 01:00:45,440
Speaker 1: thing out. Because when you get Dak Prescott back and

1192
01:00:45,480 --> 01:00:47,680
Speaker 1: hopefully resigned to a longer deal, and you have all

1193
01:00:47,720 --> 01:00:50,440
Speaker 1: those weapons like Kyle Pitts and Ceedee lamb Out on

1194
01:00:50,480 --> 01:00:53,320
Speaker 1: the outside, then yeah, let's take some offensive tackle depth

1195
01:00:53,360 --> 01:00:56,000
Speaker 1: there and make sure that in the third and fourth

1196
01:00:56,040 --> 01:00:59,120
Speaker 1: round that Kyle Pitts is protected on that edge and

1197
01:00:59,120 --> 01:01:01,200
Speaker 1: that we can use him as a receiver whenever we

1198
01:01:01,320 --> 01:01:03,440
Speaker 1: take him with the tenth overall pick in April. But

1199
01:01:03,560 --> 01:01:07,200
Speaker 1: that's just that's my mindset with the whole thing. So yeah,

1200
01:01:06,720 --> 01:01:08,760
Speaker 1: there's a there's a lot going on in my head

1201
01:01:08,840 --> 01:01:11,560
Speaker 1: right now about Kyle Pitts. I'm dreaming of Kyle Pitts

1202
01:01:11,600 --> 01:01:14,720
Speaker 1: in this offense. It's not a symphony. It is so

1203
01:01:14,920 --> 01:01:17,440
Speaker 1: a symphony. Oh my god, it's like a symphony in

1204
01:01:17,480 --> 01:01:20,360
Speaker 1: my head. All right, that's it. Four Talking Cowboys presented

1205
01:01:20,360 --> 01:01:23,520
Speaker 1: by guys today in my head. On the field, it'll

1206
01:01:23,560 --> 01:01:26,680
