  Speaker 1: The following.
• 0:03
  Speaker 2: He is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com and
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: the Dallas Cowboys Football Club. Cowboys This is Cowboys storyline
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: presented by Gillette, the official shave of the Dallas Cowboys.
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: Here's Nick Eatman, What's up? Welcome to Cowboys storyline presented
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: by Gillette. Wednesday, March twenty fifth. Free agency is I
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: don't know, it's not over yet. Three weeks into free agency.
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: Focus is now getting turned on the draft. I saw
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: a countdown the other day. I think it was yesterday.
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: It was thirty one days. Thirty days. So we are
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: inside a month. It's not April just yet, but we're
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: inside a month of the draft. That's where kind of
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: the focus is really starting to be. Now, see the
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: pro days and you'll see some thirty visits up here
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: this week. You won't see a list from us, but you'll,
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: you know, two first round picks. You would expect the
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: Cowboys are going to put in some high profile names
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: here in the building. It's a chance to look at
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: those guys. But it's not just first round picks that
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: they want to look at guys that they maybe they
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: didn't get a chance to talk to at the combine.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: Or at their pro day or wherever, or at the
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: school and get a chance to maybe catch up with them.
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: And you know, we've seen some players here. I always
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: use this example about thirty visits. We had a running
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: back in here named Malik Davis that was one of
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: their thirty visits to come here to the Star and
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: visit with him. He was not drafted. Of course, they've
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: picked him up and now he's still with the team.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: Back and forth a couple of times with the team.
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: But that just goes to show that the thirty visits
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: aren't not necessarily just your your best thirty players prospect
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: that you want, guys that you want to take a
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: look at. That'll be later in the week, just some
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: news and notes of what's what's going on. Cowboys have
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: seen a couple of guards leave the building. Nothing too
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: unexpected though. Brock Hoffman finally signed that deal with Pittsburgh.
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: It's been talked about for a while. I think everybody
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: kind of knew that was gonna happen, you know, with
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: with the offensive line coach there, of course, Mike mc
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: McCarthy there, and so it makes sense and kind of
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: just fits that mentality. So you know, good luck to
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: the other teams in the AFC North having to block
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: him just because he'll be ready. He'll be ready for
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: a fight. Brock Hoffman one of my favorite guys that
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: was here, and so I'm happy for him. Obviously, the
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: Cowboys made a decision on their depth. They went with
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: Matt Hennessy and then for now TJ. Bass is also
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: still here in one of their backup spots. All right,
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: let's go to the fun lines eight A, A, eight, five,
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: five to two nine seven. Chris and Saratoga Springs is first.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: Lead us off. What's up?
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: What's up?
• 2:57
  Speaker 4: Nick?
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: How you doing going well?
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: I see your third and now our little bracket there.
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: You're not looking bad?
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: You know, I haven't.
• 3:05
  Speaker 5: I was.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: We brought it up just now. I was gonna actually
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: was going to mention that. But you know, I'm glad
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: you did. Where are you at? Are you in there?
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: I'm fourteenth. I still got my final four still going,
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: so I still got a shot fourteenth.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: I just heard Chris just said he was fourteenth. Also, Chris,
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: Chris beams fourteenth, you're fourteenth. My dad's in there at fourteen.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: Tommy Aresh, all you guys jumbled in there at fourteen,
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: But I'm gonna lose your champion.
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: You know you have a shot Arizona. I got Arizona
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: going against Houston in the final.
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: Well, Arizona's got to get past Arkansas Thursday. I'm kiddy
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: that's gonna be That's gonna be fun. All right, all right, Chris,
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: what you got?
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: I just want to say, I'm right with you. With
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: brock Hoffman, you know, I've called in a lot and
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: he has been one of my favor for players up
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: for the offensive lineman. So I wish him the best.
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: I love his tenacity, and I hope he does well there.
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: I know he will, so just a good send off
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: for him. Sad to see him go, to be honest,
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: but you know, you know, we got a lot of
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: guys there that can step up and take his position hopefully. Now,
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: as far as I'm still waiting to hear this news
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: about who we're gonna sign like possible trades, I'm still
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: waiting to hear something going on with these linebackers. So
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: I'm I'm really hoping, you know, we make some kind
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: of move. I know there's a guy over there in
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: the AFC East that we've been linked to a little
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: bit Nick Harrer said something about it. I would love
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: to see him in a Dallas Cabo uniform for sure.
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: But I do have one question for you. You know,
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: at twelve, if all of our defensive guys are gone,
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: you know, the corners, the Ohio State players, bang from Miami,
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: all those guys are gone, and and Tate was sitting
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: there at twelve, what your thoughts on you know, if
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: all the other defensive guys are gone and Tate's sitting
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: there and we're on the clock, what's your thoughts of
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: taking that offensive player.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: That's a That's a great question and one that I
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: think is going to keep coming up here. You have
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: anything else, Chris, I'll answer that off off the air here.
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: No, that's all I got to do. Give other people
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: a channel. One more thing, when are we going to
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: come out with the list with the captains and the
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: yeah and all that stuff.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: It's it's in the works. It's in the works.
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: Awesome.
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, working on the T shirts. T shirts are back,
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: bringing that T shirts with the Gillette logo in there.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: We'll be bringing that back soon.
• 5:38
  Speaker 6: Uh.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: Kind of wanted this wave to go. It'll be in
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: between draft and and and free agencies. So definitely definitely
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: doing that. So Chris, I think you got a spot.
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: I think guess I appreciate it.
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, appreciate that. Chris with an interesting question though,
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: And you know, because it started out like would you
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: take an offensive player at all? Is any possible scenario
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: that you would do that? Right now? You know you
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: got to be cheering for pro days. Really, if you're
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: a Cowboy fan, you you want to you want these guys,
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: these receivers that are in the mix. Uh and I
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: don't know some. I mean I know the l s
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: U in Miami and Texas had THEIRS and A and
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: m is today I believe in uh Texas Tech just
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: because I know where Tommy Yurris is going to. Some
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: of these I don't know exactly where Ohio State or
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: USC or some of the Alabama. Alabama is a big one.
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: I mean, that's one for Cowboy fans. And I say
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: that because you want these guys to jump into that mix.
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: You want Carnell Tate to run himself into a spot
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: where you he has to be in the top eleven,
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: just like the LSU cornerback just ran himself out of
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: your your chances to get him unless you wanted to
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: trade up. But then again, you you trade up for
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: an LSU cornerback, and we're gonna to bring back talks
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: of Clayborn right or wrong. We will you trade up
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: for anybody in that defensive player, any any player you
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: trade up for it. At the last time the Cowboys
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: really did that was for for him. But to answer
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: the question about Tape, I'll say this or any receiver.
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: But what I don't know, and none of us really know,
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: is what are the Cowboys really thinking about the George
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: Pickens situation?
• 7:28
  Speaker 7: Like?
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: Are they just like, hey, this is negotiation, He's not
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: going anywhere, He's gonna be with us, or we're trying
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: to get this number down to a you know, a
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: legitimate number for a guy that's had one amazing year,
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: but just one. What's the number? What's the price tag
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: for that?
• 7:43
  Speaker 8: Uh?
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: You see what you know Jackson Smith and Jigban did
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: and or what he signed for and how does that
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: affect anything, if at all? So you know, But but
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: also what happens if it doesn't go down? You're you
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: gonna tag him? You can tag him again? Are you
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: trying to trade him? Are you? Are you actively looking
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: to see if somebody else wants to throw you two
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: ones or one into two this year or something like that.
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: So I think that's what. I don't know, if what
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: what what? What is? What are the Cowboys thinking from
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: that standpoint, because if they are sort of entertaining other
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: ideas for George Pickten's not being here long term, then
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: then you do have to entertain that thought of, well,
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: maybe maybe you take a receiver here and he won't
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: be ready to just dominate right now. You know, you
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: saw what McMillan did with Carolina, and I think it's
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: very safe to say the Cowboys have a better quarterback
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: and a better offense than what Carolina has. But you know,
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: McMillan was able to do some some nice things there,
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: and I think he won Rookie of the Year. I'm
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: not sure it was better than Booker, but then again,
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: Lineman never could never get that award. But you know,
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: I think you have to to think about that, but
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: only if you're prepared to say, you know, if this
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: thing doesn't go like this, then Pickets may not be
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: here long term. And if that is where the Cowboys
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: are thinking, then I don't think they would turn their
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: back on the receiver. But still though, you know, the
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: hope is I mean, there's there's six dudes right on defense,
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: there's six of them that are really good that you
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: would take it twelve and at this point you're hoping
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: six offensive guys jump in there. And we'll talk about
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: that a little bit more. Let's go to davy On
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: in Illinois. Davion, what's up?
• 9:32
  Speaker 4: What it do? Boy? Would it do? Do? What's going on?
• 9:36
  Speaker 7: Much?
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: How are you man?
• 9:37
  Speaker 4: Man? Uh part in the background?
• 9:40
  Speaker 7: No?
• 9:40
  Speaker 4: Or that I had to make a stop against some
• 9:42
  Speaker 4: the tires on the truck. So uh, just like my cowboy.
• 9:47
  Speaker 4: Looking to try to ask new people that are to
• 9:49
  Speaker 4: the MIXT. In about a month, hopefully we can.
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: Uh what's your take on that? I mean, did you
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: have a I'm sure you have another question, But where's
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: your take on do you take a receiver? Would you?
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: Would you even think about it?
• 10:02
  Speaker 7: No?
• 10:03
  Speaker 4: No, The only way I want to think about it
• 10:05
  Speaker 4: is if we get totally wiped and it's really just
• 10:08
  Speaker 4: the only that he's the best player on the board
• 10:09
  Speaker 4: because I brought us, brought us a sight for you
• 10:13
  Speaker 4: don't want to dress your board. So if if that's
• 10:15
  Speaker 4: the best player on the board, everybody's wiped out. I
• 10:19
  Speaker 4: meet the trading back or I'm picking the receiver. But
• 10:21
  Speaker 4: I don't think. I don't. They'd be hard me to
• 10:24
  Speaker 4: really do it, to pull that trigger, because I really
• 10:27
  Speaker 4: think they're gonna get George signed up for a decent
• 10:31
  Speaker 4: contract here, probably only a three years tension. I would
• 10:34
  Speaker 4: think to try to get it back to the market
• 10:36
  Speaker 4: when the when the TV money hit. But that's that's
• 10:39
  Speaker 4: my hope. But I mean, yeah, I would think if
• 10:43
  Speaker 4: any offensive player we get at twelve will probably be
• 10:46
  Speaker 4: the running back if he dropped, and that'd be I can,
• 10:50
  Speaker 4: I can. I would be sort of upset, but I
• 10:54
  Speaker 4: won't be like mad, because I mean, my offense is
• 10:58
  Speaker 4: let's get busy. Yeah, but man, I just really right now,
• 11:04
  Speaker 4: I'm really hoping that we can find us a mic linebacker.
• 11:07
  Speaker 4: I really want us to try to get somebody before
• 11:09
  Speaker 4: the drafty, just so we have get that room look
• 11:13
  Speaker 4: a little bit better because I see we add cornerback
• 11:16
  Speaker 4: like crazy, and I'm just like, man, we got so
• 11:20
  Speaker 4: many cornerbacks. It's gonna be a dog fight in that
• 11:22
  Speaker 4: room come training camp. I hate I've miss it this year,
• 11:25
  Speaker 4: but it should be interesting to see who is being
• 11:30
  Speaker 4: our cornerbacks on the roster, because we got about nine
• 11:32
  Speaker 4: to ten of them right now. It's pretty deep, yeah, I.
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: Mean, but yeah, they're just adding They're really adding to
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: the bottom of it more than more than anything. I mean,
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: you know, I mean, they're they're adding some depth and
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: some guys that are been here. But you know, nobody
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: that you nobody that you're not going to draft the
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: cornerback for you know what I mean. They're just kind
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: of covering numbers, but cornerback is still a top need.
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: And I think I'll be surprised if they don't draft
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: off the corner in the first one of the first
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: two picks. I'll be really surprised.
• 12:04
  Speaker 4: Yeah, we're getting mocked. We're getting mocked, McCoy and I'm
• 12:07
  Speaker 4: just like, I hope the trot is with everybody hoping
• 12:10
  Speaker 4: it to be, because if he he what he needed
• 12:12
  Speaker 4: to probate show he's back ready to road. And I'd
• 12:16
  Speaker 4: be a little uncomfortable with the pick because I don't
• 12:18
  Speaker 4: really I mean have to revel last year. I really
• 12:20
  Speaker 4: want us to get guys and is ready to go
• 12:22
  Speaker 4: because you know, I'm a l s U guys, So
• 12:23
  Speaker 4: I would love my guy to be there, but he
• 12:25
  Speaker 4: ain't making it do making it.
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: Don't run four to three him. He could play number one.
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: And he's not just the track guy. The guy can play.
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: He's an unbelievable corner. And then and then you had
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: on the fact that now now he's got that kind
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: of speed, I mean, that's terrence.
• 12:41
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's crazy.
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 12:43
  Speaker 4: Did you see Perkins went four three too? I was like,
• 12:46
  Speaker 4: oh my god.
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: I'll tell you that that there. I wonder, you know,
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: and this is a guy that, as an Arkansas fan,
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: you would think Harold Perkins is JaMarcus Ware. I mean
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: like like because he was against Arkansas, he is every
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: single time. So but I know he had a hard
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: time LS. You had a hard time figuring out where
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: to play him all the time, you know. But and
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: I and then you when that happened to the SEC,
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: you wonder when the NFL, somebody's gonna have a vision
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: for him. But and I don't know where you play
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: this guy, but I know he can rush the passer.
• 13:24
  Speaker 4: So yeah, you know my disdain I had for mcarthy.
• 13:28
  Speaker 4: So Kaylor was right behind that with the with the
• 13:31
  Speaker 4: foolish he did the Perkins and that whole team. But
• 13:35
  Speaker 4: I just I think if I mean, we keep getting
• 13:38
  Speaker 4: Perkins too, so we get him like in the third
• 13:40
  Speaker 4: or fourth. I ain't mad because that boy's fast, and
• 13:43
  Speaker 4: I think we'll play him on the outside, let him
• 13:45
  Speaker 4: just go hunt.
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's probably where you would play him. I would.
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: I would see him being you know, but I he's
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: got name value. I mean, we're talking about Harold Perkins, LSU.
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: He's got name value too. And you know, but I
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: could promise you this when he is drafted. When he
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: is rafted, and they and then they all good pick,
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: good value pick and all that you're gonna see about
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: four Arkansas plays in a row about some guy that
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: just can't block him. And he was unbelievable, he really is.
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: I was like, can this guy leave college and go
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: to the league? My god? All right, Davion, good stuff man.
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: All right. Before we get to the next caller, we
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: were talking about the uh our storyline, Mark's madness pool
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: that we have that someone's third right now, I got
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: like three brackets. I'm like all over the place in
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: my brackets. So this one, you know, that's what happens
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: when you have too many brackets. You don't even know
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: who to root for. You're just like the eight nine game,
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: You're like, I don't know, Like I'm sure I picked
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: both and some. But a Rick in Massachusetts is number
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: one right now? Rick number one, So congrats to him.
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: Uh look, let's see who does he have as his champion?
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: Oh not good. He's got Duke so do I. So
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: it's gonna be hard to pass him. But I'm only
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: one point behind him. We'll see Nathan from Kansas City.
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: Nathan from Kansas City. I don't know if that's a caller.
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: I don't remember a caller from him. He's in second
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: for now, we're tied for first, tied for first. He's
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: got Florida winning at all. That's going to be really
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: tough to do. So don't know if that will happen.
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: All right, we talked a little bit of David was
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: talking about corners that they've added. It sounds like they're
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: going to add Darien Kendrick today. He's played for the
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: Rams and the Seahawks last year. Interesting if he's going
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: to get a ring. He played ten games I think
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: with Seattle and then he they let him go and
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: he was with the Rams. They had two interceptions earlier
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: in the year with Seattle. So my understanding is that
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: you get a ring if you've played in games, even
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: if you didn't finish the season with them. But he's
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: played mostly with the Rams two or three years, ten
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: games with Seattle, finished last year with the Rams. So uh,
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: just another guy that you know for this team. Corey
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: Valentine was also re signed. So they've had some corners
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: for the for the room. But I would imagine that
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: you know, they're gonna have some decisions to make. Trey
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: Queasy Bridges and Ready Stewart and Josh Butler and Kayln Carson.
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: You know, those are the kind of the bottom part
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: of the of the cornerbacks. All right, Joe in Stanford, Texas, Joe,
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: what's up? How you doing?
• 16:33
  Speaker 5: Good man, Good to talk to you again.
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: You too.
• 16:36
  Speaker 5: So I want to get in on this number twelve
• 16:39
  Speaker 5: discussion as far as what we need to do. You know,
• 16:44
  Speaker 5: I think to get an impact guy of the top
• 16:49
  Speaker 5: six that you're discussing, we're gonna have to move up.
• 16:53
  Speaker 5: I just don't. I mean, I like McCoy. I think
• 16:56
  Speaker 5: if especially if he does well at his BRO day,
• 16:59
  Speaker 5: I think he is one of the first round graded
• 17:03
  Speaker 5: super impact guys, you know, in the first round. I
• 17:07
  Speaker 5: think we can miss out on him too. I think
• 17:09
  Speaker 5: he's right on the cusp of making it to twelve.
• 17:12
  Speaker 5: I would be okay with picking him, I think, depending
• 17:15
  Speaker 5: on the pro day. But I'll tell you what, in
• 17:18
  Speaker 5: my opinion, what we should do. If we stay at
• 17:20
  Speaker 5: twelve and miss out, we should be colling Oakland and
• 17:23
  Speaker 5: offering them a number one and next year's number two
• 17:26
  Speaker 5: for mister Max Crosby again. See what they'll say. I
• 17:30
  Speaker 5: think that's what we should do. I think we should say, hey,
• 17:34
  Speaker 5: you want to revisit this discussion and put a little
• 17:36
  Speaker 5: pressure on him. See what they think about about the
• 17:39
  Speaker 5: twelve pick. See if they lack a wide receiver in
• 17:41
  Speaker 5: that draft.
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, now, you're right. The Carnell Tait situation with Ohio State,
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: I mean, he's going to be a guy that if
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: he does fall there, he may not, I mean, but
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: if he does get there, I mean, he's one of
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: those players that I would think the phone will ring for.
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: So doesn't mean the Cowboys necessarily take him, but it
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: could be a guy that that somebody else wants, Like
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: you said, uh, maybe the Raiders or whoever might might
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: want a guy like that. But the problem there is
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: where you where you're going to yeah next year, Well no,
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: you're well, you're you're getting you're getting the defensive ends.
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: So you wouldn't go anywhere you would just you would
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: get him again. This there's been so many rumors about
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: what went down and how bad the knee is, and
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: the Cowboys got involved. You know, it's I'll just say this,
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: it's it's very tricky for the Cowboys to be involved
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: in this now with with their doctor, doctor Cooper, being
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: a part of it, being part of the evaluation of
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: the knee and saying certain things, and then to come
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: back later and say, yeah, I don't know about that knee.
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean come back and say, well,
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: you know.
• 18:53
  Speaker 5: We'll do it like yeah, like conflict of interest. Yeah,
• 18:55
  Speaker 5: I think they say that he actually getting He wasn't
• 18:59
  Speaker 5: like the the final thing, like the most prominent voice.
• 19:03
  Speaker 5: And honestly, what they were saying about his knee is
• 19:06
  Speaker 5: like it wasn't even a decision of okay, they think
• 19:09
  Speaker 5: he'll play. Now they're talking about in two or three
• 19:11
  Speaker 5: years it might be degenerative, But I mean, who cares
• 19:15
  Speaker 5: in two or three years the way I look at it.
• 19:17
  Speaker 9: But yeah, I don't know.
• 19:19
  Speaker 5: You know, a twelve pick you want to you want
• 19:21
  Speaker 5: somebody you can use for five years. And I get that.
• 19:25
  Speaker 5: If we could guarantee that we're going to have Monsieur
• 19:27
  Speaker 5: de Layne or Ruben Bain or you know, any Caleb
• 19:32
  Speaker 5: Downs for five years, great, let's do it.
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: But man, I don't know.
• 19:36
  Speaker 5: I don't want to come away with somebody who's not
• 19:37
  Speaker 5: going to impact to us this year. You know what
• 19:40
  Speaker 5: I'm saying. If we got to move up to get
• 19:42
  Speaker 5: that guy, we got to do it.
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: I hear you, all right, Joe, good stuff, man, Always
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: good to hear from you. You know, he was talking
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: about these these these players, so at twelve. I mean,
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: I I'm not draft guru. If you if you want that,
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: We've got a great show twice a week, the Draft Show.
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: These guys are all over it. And uh, but but
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: I think it's pretty clear, and well nothing's clear in March.
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: You know, when it comes to the draft as it
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: stands right now, it just looks to be the six
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: defensive players. You would really like to take it twelve.
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: The Cowboys would would be fine taking it twelve. I
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: don't have McCoy on that list from Tennessee and don't
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: have that corner. Jerry made a comment about, you know,
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: we're not into red shirting and all that. Now, the
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: big question is what Joe was just talking about on
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: the line, is how's he going to run? He had
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: a knee injury. Uh, he missed pretty much all of
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: last year, I believe. And now let's see where he
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: is in his in his reha if he's ready to go. Like,
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: if he's ready, he's obviously got the talent for it,
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: and he's gonna step right in and play, and you know,
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: doesn't have a lot of wear and tear on his
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: body and all that stuff. So those would be the
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: pros and to that if he's ready. But that's gonna
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: be a question. But he's not in nice in the
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: sixth that I have and those guys obviously Bailey from
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: Texas Tech, Rubin Bane from Miami, Uh, the l s
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: U cornerback Delaine, then the three Ohio State guys Caleb Downs,
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: Reese and Styles Sunny Styles, those six right there. So
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: you know, if you can find six offensive players that
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: can get in there, which you know you've got Mendoza,
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: You've got the running back from Notre Dame. I think
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: can get in there, Jeremiah Love. I think maybe maybe
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: two offensive tackles, one for sure, maybe two. And then
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: now you're looking at receivers. You know you want Tate
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: to get in there, and you want is it is
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: it Lemon from USC Makaya Lemon? You You would love that.
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: You know, in that scenario, you can get six offensive
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: players and someone's going to be there for you. Could
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: be Bane, could be Bane. I don't know how much
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: everyone loves him, but he seems like a like a dude.
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: You know, it's one of those guys that you really
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: just want on your team. So all right, let's go
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: to Josh in Chicago.
• 22:10
  Speaker 10: Sy Mick, how's it going good?
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: How are you man?
• 22:13
  Speaker 4: Good?
• 22:14
  Speaker 10: I was bummed at didn't get together in last week.
• 22:15
  Speaker 10: And then I was listening to the show, I think
• 22:18
  Speaker 10: like later on Wednesday, and I heard that you actually
• 22:20
  Speaker 10: you actually mentioned me, So I was like, man, I'm honored.
• 22:22
  Speaker 10: And I wasn't even able to call him.
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: I don't remember that, honestly, I don't remember what we
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: were talking about.
• 22:28
  Speaker 10: I can't remember you were just making reference. I think
• 22:30
  Speaker 10: people from being all the overtype stuff.
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: But okay, yeah, and you're you're in this list that
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: I see here.
• 22:37
  Speaker 3: That just cool.
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: I had to scroll a little bit. No I'm talking
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: about I'm talking about the March madness.
• 22:42
  Speaker 10: Oh no, I'm not in that. I don't I don't
• 22:43
  Speaker 10: really do basketball that much.
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: Now once again, I'm once again I for some reason,
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: you asked Zack in Atlanta. I don't know, y'all need
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: to hang out.
• 22:54
  Speaker 5: I need to see you do.
• 22:55
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, we do.
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: I don't know why. Yeah, Zach, Yeah, you don't want
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: to you don't want to be where Zach A man.
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: I had a thumb turt and from scrolling down there,
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: I'm just kidding.
• 23:03
  Speaker 10: I was gonna I was gonna fill out a bracket
• 23:05
  Speaker 10: and then I got a little bit busy with the
• 23:07
  Speaker 10: kiddos after work and everything. I didn't get to it.
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: And you're in South Carolina right right now?
• 23:13
  Speaker 11: Yeah?
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: Is that is that? Dude? North Carolina? Is that North Carolina?
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: North Carolina?
• 23:18
  Speaker 10: Well, you know, I mean Chicago. Yeah, beam the Chicago
• 23:22
  Speaker 10: guy though, you know, like Michael Jordan, right, so I
• 23:24
  Speaker 10: gotta go like UNC because you know, I mean, he
• 23:29
  Speaker 10: he brought us so much wins back in the nineties
• 23:31
  Speaker 10: that got I gotta go with them.
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: But well, Michael Jordan's slowly but surely is dragging me
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: back a little bit into Nascar. I hate to say it,
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: I've been all right. I find myself watching it now
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: and I'm looking for the forty five and it's really
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: not hard to find because he's right there at the top.
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: Everyone doesn't know that Jordan's, you know, bought a race team.
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: And if you don't think money matters, I mean, it's
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: almost like nil in college. It's like, who's got the money?
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: You got the money? In Nascar, you're gonna help. And
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: Michael Jordan's got yeah, obviously, and his racers are winning
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: and when he shows up, they win. So good stuff. Anyway, Sorry,
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: we're getting off on tangent. What do you got John?
• 24:07
  Speaker 10: No, yeah, definitely. So I was just gonna call him
• 24:09
  Speaker 10: really quick and just I think even the tight end
• 24:12
  Speaker 10: and going back to what you were just saying about
• 24:13
  Speaker 10: who could fall in the top, in the top twelve,
• 24:15
  Speaker 10: that tight end from Oregon might might even go in
• 24:17
  Speaker 10: the top you know eleven picks as well. He looks
• 24:20
  Speaker 10: pretty good and I think there's some teams I could use.
• 24:22
  Speaker 12: A tight end.
• 24:22
  Speaker 10: So yeah, you know, hopefully he goes in the top
• 24:25
  Speaker 10: eleven and pushes some of those defensive guys down. But yeah,
• 24:28
  Speaker 10: what I was going to say is, you know, if
• 24:30
  Speaker 10: that running back from Notre Dame or the receiver either
• 24:35
  Speaker 10: either Tate or Tyson is there at twelve and the
• 24:37
  Speaker 10: phones aren't raining, and all the defensive players we like
• 24:40
  Speaker 10: are wipe and taking one of those guys, especially Love
• 24:44
  Speaker 10: Williams is really on a two year deal when you
• 24:46
  Speaker 10: really look at the money on that and Love being
• 24:49
  Speaker 10: on a five year deal, I think that's a player
• 24:51
  Speaker 10: that's going to last for longer than five years. And
• 24:53
  Speaker 10: if if that's the guy, you know, you start playing
• 24:55
  Speaker 10: from ahead, keeping the clock, that's going to help our
• 24:57
  Speaker 10: past rush too. So Love is there at twelve and
• 25:01
  Speaker 10: nobody's calling and the defense are wiped. I'm not crying
• 25:04
  Speaker 10: about it. I'm taking him right away.
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah. No, I agree with you on that, and I
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: think that you have to you have to figure that out.
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: And also how much of a reach would it be
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: for that next defensive guy. Yeah, you know, and I've
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: never been one that says take best available player. I
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: don't say that, I say I say best available neat
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: That's what I always say. But you know, true to
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: your board, you just got to figure out how far
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: you know the board is. I mean, let's say I
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: don't know is Auburn defensive end or somebody like that
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: that they have, you know, sitting at fourteen fifteen? Well,
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, you don't have that pick you have twelve.
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: And like you said, the phone's not ringing and no
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: one's answering when you're making calls, and so you have
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: to make a decision to make do you do you
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: help this offense and take a guy that you have
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: rated high or do you fix the defense with you know,
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: slightly lower than what you have. But you know, so
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: that's going to be a tough call.
• 26:05
  Speaker 10: And I know everyone's in kind of a win now mode,
• 26:07
  Speaker 10: and I agree, Right, we're computing every year for the
• 26:09
  Speaker 10: Lombardi Trophy, and if you're not, then you're doing it wrong, right,
• 26:12
  Speaker 10: Like that's the way it should be. And if you
• 26:13
  Speaker 10: if you don't have the mentality, you're doing it wrong.
• 26:15
  Speaker 10: But best available need right now or best available need
• 26:19
  Speaker 10: next year, because if we don't resign Pickings to a
• 26:21
  Speaker 10: long term deal at Receiver, something we're going to need
• 26:24
  Speaker 10: offensive tackle. Dighton can't stay healthy for a full season.
• 26:27
  Speaker 10: And last time I check Terrence Steele is he's coming
• 26:30
  Speaker 10: up too right. So if there's a tackle there, I mean,
• 26:34
  Speaker 10: it may not be the sexy pick that everyone loves,
• 26:36
  Speaker 10: but when you're talking about having a tackle that might
• 26:38
  Speaker 10: be able to be there for the for the future,
• 26:40
  Speaker 10: or gut and being able to move to the right
• 26:42
  Speaker 10: side and pee in a more natural position, like that's
• 26:45
  Speaker 10: helping the offense is going to help this defense. And
• 26:48
  Speaker 10: if we can play from ahead and this offense is good,
• 26:50
  Speaker 10: we saw it. If we can be ahead, you know,
• 26:52
  Speaker 10: seven to fourteen points, the pass rush is going to
• 26:54
  Speaker 10: get better, the defense is going to get better, and
• 26:57
  Speaker 10: it's going to prevent people from running on us. So
• 26:59
  Speaker 10: that's all I got where you say, make they it's a.
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: Great call, Josh, and and and you're thinking like the
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: like a front office person thinks, I mean, really, I mean,
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: that's and I understand this year to year, like how
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: are the Cowboys going to be better this year? And
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: who cares about next year? And who cares about But
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: they do, they do, and they're they're building, you know,
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: they continue to build this franchise, and so you're exactly
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: right when you say, Okay, it may not be your
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: number one need right now, but we're gonna be so
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: glad we did this next year. Same with CD Lamb.
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: And here's another part about the CD pick that that
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: I'm sure, I'm positive the Cowboys Stephen Jones will bring
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: it up again when they gets asked in the pre
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: draft press conference about, you know, do you stick to
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: the board or whatever, and they're gonna say, see, they're
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: gonna mention CD Lamb. But I think it's important to
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: also talk about what that's what they had at receiver
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: because they had Amari Cooper, they had Michael Gallup, but
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: they also knew that, you know Amari Cooper situation, he
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: wasn't maybe gonna be here forever. I mean they had
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: signed him to a deal, but it wasn't like a
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: long term deal. And then Gallup, you know was Gallup.
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: I mean, he's he was a good role player, but
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: not not a one of course, and it was coming
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: off of that, I think a thousand yard season so so.
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: But but also they were looking ahead too, and they
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: weren't just saying, oh we're set at receiver for a while.
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: They we can get ceedee lamb, he'll he'll he'll be
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: a good rookie this year and mix in with all that,
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: but then by the next year and the next year
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: he'll really be ready to blossom. And that's exactly what happened.
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: So you're you're right when you're when you're thinking, when
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: you're talking like that. Josh in Chicago, really really good
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: because it's an offensive tackle is another one. I mean,
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: like I I would be disappointed for about twenty five
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: seconds until someone told me about this offensive tackle they
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: drafted whoever it is, this guy is. This guy will
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: lock it down for eight to ten years, and then
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: I'd be like, fine, love it, you know. I mean,
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: I really would be okay with an offensive tackle. But again,
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: got to fix your defense. I understand that. Mike in Birmingham, England, Mike, Hey, Nick.
• 29:15
  Speaker 13: How are you doing good?
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: How are you well?
• 29:17
  Speaker 13: I thank you? Yeah, March Madness, I've heard you talking
• 29:21
  Speaker 13: about that a little bit. I needed you to do
• 29:23
  Speaker 13: this show on Saturday because I was top. I peaked
• 29:27
  Speaker 13: too early. And it's so funny because I don't know anything.
• 29:31
  Speaker 13: I've never watched the game of basketball in my life,
• 29:33
  Speaker 13: but Dylan said March madness to march madness?
• 29:37
  Speaker 5: Do you brack it?
• 29:38
  Speaker 13: I'm like, what all those words mean, but I don't
• 29:41
  Speaker 13: know what they mean in a sentence together. But anyway,
• 29:43
  Speaker 13: are you going to find my way through it?
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: Are you watching games? I don't know? Does march madness?
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: Is it maddening over there in England?
• 29:51
  Speaker 4: No?
• 29:52
  Speaker 13: No, we haven't got access. But it's changed my morning routine,
• 29:57
  Speaker 13: which used to be wake up and do words, Well
• 30:00
  Speaker 13: now it's uh, wake up, check my bracket and then
• 30:03
  Speaker 13: do word. Also it's it's got me hooked and I'm
• 30:06
  Speaker 13: only one point behind you, Nick, So they have that
• 30:08
  Speaker 13: right there.
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: Okay, have you ever gotten a one? Mike? In wordle
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: a one?
• 30:16
  Speaker 4: No?
• 30:16
  Speaker 13: I use the same word every single time and it
• 30:19
  Speaker 13: has never come up. But I can't change it now
• 30:21
  Speaker 13: because the one time I change it, it will be
• 30:23
  Speaker 13: that word. So I've had a few twos, but never
• 30:26
  Speaker 13: a one.
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: What's your word?
• 30:29
  Speaker 13: Tribe?
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: Tribe?
• 30:31
  Speaker 3: Why?
• 30:32
  Speaker 13: I don't know why, t R I b E. I
• 30:33
  Speaker 13: don't know why I chose that, but but I'm stuck
• 30:36
  Speaker 13: with it now.
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: So yeah, when I would do it, it would be
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: it would be something with like a ton of valves
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: in it.
• 30:43
  Speaker 13: Yeah, that would have been. That would have been a
• 30:46
  Speaker 13: better option. But but there we go, come stuck. I'm
• 30:49
  Speaker 13: on a I'm on a seventy seventh street. So all right,
• 30:54
  Speaker 13: so really excited about the draft. I love all the
• 30:59
  Speaker 13: the bill, I love the Draft show that your colleagues do.
• 31:03
  Speaker 13: I don't watch college football or very rarely, so I
• 31:07
  Speaker 13: start learning about it in kind of January February. So
• 31:11
  Speaker 13: I've got a question and a comment from when the
• 31:16
  Speaker 13: Draft show starts in January. Change their mind a lot,
• 31:21
  Speaker 13: And happened the combine the Pro days, the thirty visits
• 31:27
  Speaker 13: and so forth, and fans and podcasters, they changed their mind.
• 31:32
  Speaker 13: They think, oh, I think this guy's going to fall now.
• 31:33
  Speaker 13: I had him as a high first rounder. But actually,
• 31:37
  Speaker 13: do you think the teams change things during this period,
• 31:41
  Speaker 13: because I would have thought the biggest thing that these
• 31:46
  Speaker 13: have done is big games for three four years, put
• 31:50
  Speaker 13: it all on tape, and you've seen that, and you've
• 31:52
  Speaker 13: seen what they can do in a game. The teams
• 31:55
  Speaker 13: really that bothered if they're five hundredths of a second
• 31:59
  Speaker 13: slower in the fourth even they thought, or their arms
• 32:02
  Speaker 13: are two centimeters shorter than the next guy. To what
• 32:05
  Speaker 13: extent do you think that the teams are concerned about
• 32:08
  Speaker 13: that having seen all the tape that they've done. That's
• 32:12
  Speaker 13: my other point, and i'll take it off their just
• 32:16
  Speaker 13: I know you've been talking about whether we would consider
• 32:19
  Speaker 13: offense can happen in the next month, So you know,
• 32:23
  Speaker 13: let's see where we are if we're going in fuster
• 32:27
  Speaker 13: that we've got and the twelve and the twenty and
• 32:31
  Speaker 13: the ninety two. Three picks to be defense done nearly
• 32:36
  Speaker 13: enough to prove that and our offense, even if Pickings
• 32:41
  Speaker 13: were to go, which I don't want him too, This
• 32:43
  Speaker 13: is a good offense. It's a great offense with Pickens
• 32:47
  Speaker 13: in it. Defense is not good. And for me, i've
• 32:51
  Speaker 13: heard about you know, Jeremiah Love might fall great running back.
• 32:55
  Speaker 13: Sure he would be a really good guy to have.
• 32:59
  Speaker 13: Not what we need defense defense, defense For me, I
• 33:02
  Speaker 13: got it very much.
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: Nick all day, All right, thanks for the call, Mike.
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: Before we go to break, I'll answer that part of
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: what he was talking about with the draft process, and
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: and you know, these guys have studied them for so
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: long and so to do things really change based off
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: of what we're seeing now. I think that's a good question,
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: and I think in what I believe happens is you've
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: got your scouts, You've got your that are on you know,
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: they they they're the regional scouts. They you know, they
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: they have this area, they cover this guy, and then
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: they'll be cross you know, referencing scouts that will also
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: be able to check them these guys. So they'll they'll
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: be two or three you know for people like really
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: looking at these guys, and some of them really really
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: like them, and so you know, they're standing on a
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: table for him for a year and a half. They
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: want him to to run well at the combine and
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: or at their forty you know time or when they
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: come in for the visit and meet with them on
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: thirty visits or meet with them at the combine. They
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: want them to be exactly like they probably hyped him
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: up to be, or you know, vice versa. They were like,
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: you know, he's okay, whatever. Because what happens is is
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: then then more of the decision makers are in there.
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: Now they get a chance to talk to them and
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: let's see what this guy you've been you've been pumping
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: up for the last year, you know, see what he
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: really is. And so so I think sometimes these what
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: we're seeing now just kind of validates some things. Yeah,
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: I mean, I'm sure the LSU cornerback, you know, delaying,
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: I mean, I'm sure you just erad himself up into
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: the top five now, you know. Then, so whoever sitting
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: there picking a three, four or five, they're like this,
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: you know this LSU corner and I don't know about that.
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: And then he does and runs that, and then and
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: then now that maybe they do change a little bit.
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: So I do think it's a process of yes, people
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: have been on him for a while, but you're still
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: having to convince everybody else in your in your department,
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: in your scouting department. And and then so things like
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: like what happens here, you know, what happens at pro
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: days and things like that can can still change people's perceptions.
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: And then when that happens, and then then they start
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: talking to the media and guess what, you know, somebody's
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: mock seven point zero starts to change. And so, yeah,
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: mock drafts are cool and all that, but I mean
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: I would love to see somebody's mock draft mock one
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: versus mock six or seven. Of course it's different. Alright,
• 35:28

  Speaker 1: Love Derek.
• 38:00
  Speaker 8: Yes, there any niggas going on? How you doing, I'm
• 38:04
  Speaker 8: doing all right. Man's only my second time ever calling,
• 38:08
  Speaker 8: but I'm definitely a long time listener. I just had
• 38:14
  Speaker 8: a couple of comments. Man, I just wanted to say, so,
• 38:18
  Speaker 8: I'm a fan of I don't know if it's new
• 38:21
  Speaker 8: thinking or what you would call me, but as far
• 38:26
  Speaker 8: as the coaching, like, so, I was a fan of
• 38:28
  Speaker 8: Mike McCarthy. I had kind of wanted them to bring
• 38:32
  Speaker 8: him back, but I was under the thinking like if
• 38:34
  Speaker 8: you don't bring him back, don't bring in, you know,
• 38:38
  Speaker 8: the recycled coaching. I didn't want him to do. So
• 38:41
  Speaker 8: I was happy, even though Schottenhammer at the time wasn't
• 38:44
  Speaker 8: a nown name. I was just happy that they moved
• 38:47
  Speaker 8: away from the just bringing the old recycled coaches in.
• 38:51
  Speaker 8: So I'm on the loan those same lines. I'm kind
• 38:53
  Speaker 8: of happy that they're doing that with the defense and hopefully,
• 38:57
  Speaker 8: you know, it would result and you know, some positive changes. Also,
• 39:05
  Speaker 8: I heard somebody, I don't know if you addressed it,
• 39:07
  Speaker 8: but I did hear somebody earlier saying giving up assets
• 39:11
  Speaker 8: in the draft to move up, and I just feel
• 39:16
  Speaker 8: like I just want to know your opinion on it.
• 39:18
  Speaker 8: I just feel like kind of have too many deficiencies
• 39:22
  Speaker 8: on defense too to give.
• 39:25
  Speaker 9: Up any assets.
• 39:26
  Speaker 8: And like I don't think we can afford to give
• 39:30
  Speaker 8: up any assets. I just feel like we have too
• 39:34
  Speaker 8: many holes on defense. And that's really all ill I have.
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: Hold on, Derek, let me let me flip it back
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: to you, because you're right. I mean, obviously I have
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: holes on defense and you want to fix them. Do
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: you want to fix it with two potentially you know,
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: good players or do you want that one difference maker
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: badass player? And I understand you know there's no guarantees,
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: but right, that's that's what it would be. I mean, like,
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: I'll just ask you, would you go twelve? Would you
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: move twelve and twenty to move up to number six?
• 40:12
  Speaker 13: It would just.
• 40:13
  Speaker 8: Oh, man, I don't know that we could afford to
• 40:15
  Speaker 8: do that, Like I mean, now, granted though, I will
• 40:17
  Speaker 8: give the Cowboys this because even like last year, we
• 40:20
  Speaker 8: needed a receiver, we didn't get the receiver. We didn't strutch,
• 40:24
  Speaker 8: you know, we didn't reach and then they ended up
• 40:27
  Speaker 8: getting the receiver and pickings and offseason, so I was happy,
• 40:31
  Speaker 8: like if if it's a case like that, I just
• 40:35
  Speaker 8: don't know. I think maybe downs of Styles would be
• 40:39
  Speaker 8: the only guys I would maybe move up for that
• 40:42
  Speaker 8: that much capital to move up for. But I don't know, man,
• 40:47
  Speaker 8: I just feel like we have so many other roster
• 40:50
  Speaker 8: spots we got to fill out, Like I would just
• 40:53
  Speaker 8: hate to really give up any more capital in that aspect.
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: I'm with you. I mean, I think that that's a
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: very tough decision. And I think that you know what
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: what I what I talked about with those those those
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: guys you know that can you get a player you
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: really like at twelve? It's somebody that you really like
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: going to be there at twelve and right, but and
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: if not, and who's to say that the Cowboys are
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: you know, feel that way about all of those guys
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: I just mentioned. I mean, they they may not. They
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: may not put Baine in that same category. I know
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: that they were. Schottenheimer was was there with Christian Parker.
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: They were in Miami earlier this week. They they didn't
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: go to the L s U Pro Day, it was
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: the Miami Pro Day, and so they have a chance
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: to see him and some of the other players there,
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: offensive tackle, another defensive end. I got a lot of players.
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: They were a really good team, so you know. But
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: but you're right if if they they have holes that
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: they need to fill, and so getting to two players
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: out of this draft. I see the benefit there, I
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: really do. But I also think judging if they look
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: at their board says we've got guys that are totally
• 42:06
  Speaker 1: different in the top five or six, as you know,
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: to where we are at twelve, then it may be
• 42:12
  Speaker 1: worth saying let's take a chance, let's go up and
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: do that.
• 42:16
  Speaker 8: Right And again, I'm not opposed to even stand right
• 42:19
  Speaker 8: there at twelve, selecting twelve and then trading back at
• 42:24
  Speaker 8: you know, twenty and maybe getting a couple more picks
• 42:26
  Speaker 8: to fill out.
• 42:27
  Speaker 5: The roster as well.
• 42:28
  Speaker 8: So yeah, uh, just that exciting time of year. I'm
• 42:31
  Speaker 8: excited to see where they go with it the draft.
• 42:35
  Speaker 8: Always they always surprise us, like they always.
• 42:39
  Speaker 3: Do something we don't expect.
• 42:40
  Speaker 8: So yeah, I'm just anxious man, anxious to get that.
• 42:45
  Speaker 9: I got my kool Aid packs.
• 42:46
  Speaker 8: It's that time. I got my kool Aid packs. I
• 42:49
  Speaker 8: haven't put them in in the picture yet, but you know,
• 42:52
  Speaker 8: it's prep Tom getting my TOOLI ready.
• 42:54
  Speaker 1: All right, Derek, good to hear from you. Thanks, thanks
• 42:58
  Speaker 1: for the call, Derek, Yeah, we give them. Here we go.
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: Second time called, but you know, hadn't called in a while,
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: so always obviously good to hear from me, you know.
• 43:08
  Speaker 1: And he said, you know they're always going to do
• 43:10
  Speaker 1: something in the draft that surprised you. It's not just
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: the Cowboys, you know, it's it's the other team. I mean,
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: the Raiders are gonna take windows. I think we know
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: that the second pick, you know, it's gonna be we'll see,
• 43:22
  Speaker 1: we'll see how that that's the first domino, and then
• 43:24
  Speaker 1: from there, you know, it'll be a when's the first
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: you know, the first eyebrow pick? When when everybody's like,
• 43:32
  Speaker 1: oh man, you know, I didn't see that coming. And
• 43:35
  Speaker 1: then that changes everything. And so eleven picks, there's a
• 43:39
  Speaker 1: lot that's gonna happen in that time before the Cowboys
• 43:44
  Speaker 1: pick at twelve. If they not, maybe they move up,
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: maybe they don't. Let's go to Dylan in Northport, Florida.
• 43:48
  Speaker 15: Dylan, what's up, man, Hey, how's it doing good?
• 43:51
  Speaker 1: How are you doing good?
• 43:53
  Speaker 5: Man?
• 43:53
  Speaker 15: My bracket's not doing so great, but it looks like good.
• 43:56
  Speaker 1: Not so hot. Yeah, well, I appreciate you setting it up,
• 44:00
  Speaker 1: getting it going.
• 44:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 44:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah. So I'm I'm in a couple other leagues and
• 44:07
  Speaker 1: and and where the scoring is completely different. You know,
• 44:10
  Speaker 1: a lot higher points and stuff like that. You get
• 44:13
  Speaker 1: points for higher seeds winning and things like that. So
• 44:16
  Speaker 1: I was doing this one, I was like, why don't
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: only have like nine points? Like what's going on? And
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: I'm or like fourteen points and I'm almost in the lead,
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: and I'm like, wait, what's happening here?
• 44:28
  Speaker 15: You're a very basic scoring. There's no underdog points or
• 44:31
  Speaker 15: anything like that. I didn't know what people normally do,
• 44:34
  Speaker 15: so I just got it up the way it's said
• 44:36
  Speaker 15: to do it, and that was it.
• 44:37
  Speaker 1: I love it. It's totally fine and it's good. I
• 44:39
  Speaker 1: appreciate you doing it, and it got more people than
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: I thought would be in it. So yeah, yeah, that's something.
• 44:45
  Speaker 1: Maybe that's something we could do every year. And and uh,
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: I know, March Madness is the one, you know, one
• 44:51
  Speaker 1: bracket that a lot of people do. I don't know
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: if there's other things like that, but I think it's
• 44:54
  Speaker 1: it's cool to put the storyliners together and kind of see,
• 44:58
  Speaker 1: uh what you guys doing who knows.
• 45:00
  Speaker 15: Anything we can do to get a big group of
• 45:02
  Speaker 15: us together and just do something good time On the
• 45:06
  Speaker 15: trade up scenario, I don't I just started listening on
• 45:09
  Speaker 15: a last call. I gotta go back and listen.
• 45:10
  Speaker 3: To the rest of the show.
• 45:11
  Speaker 15: But I would move twelve and twenty to go up
• 45:14
  Speaker 15: to six if I got something else in return. I
• 45:17
  Speaker 15: don't know if a second is appropriate pick thirty nine
• 45:20
  Speaker 15: or if it's a third or what you get back
• 45:22
  Speaker 15: in the middle rounds there, but I would need something there.
• 45:25
  Speaker 15: And then you're talking about maybe if you get that
• 45:27
  Speaker 15: second round pick, maybe you're talking to Caleb Downs or
• 45:30
  Speaker 15: I don't know. I mean my scenari would be like
• 45:32
  Speaker 15: a Caleb Downs and a Jacob Rodrigez in the second
• 45:35
  Speaker 15: I pick thirty nine, and I feel really good about
• 45:36
  Speaker 15: that because we can talk about numbers all day, but
• 45:38
  Speaker 15: once you put names to it, it's like, oh, holy crap,
• 45:40
  Speaker 15: Like that look really good at that point, right, So
• 45:44
  Speaker 15: you look at like a Caleb Downs and a Jacob
• 45:46
  Speaker 15: Rodriguez versus a maybe Monsieur de Layne in a key Mesador,
• 45:53
  Speaker 15: and you know which one do you feel better about?
• 45:54
  Speaker 15: Regardless of the pick value, You just look at the names,
• 45:58
  Speaker 15: and I feel really good about like a hailed Downs
• 46:00
  Speaker 15: and the rod Riga. So I would do that in
• 46:02
  Speaker 15: a heartbeat. But like I said, I wouldn't just do
• 46:04
  Speaker 15: twelve and twenty. That would be too much for me.
• 46:06
  Speaker 15: I got to get something, Yeah, yeah, And I don't
• 46:09
  Speaker 15: know what the valuations are on that, but that's what
• 46:11
  Speaker 15: i'd be looking for.
• 46:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I did. I asked some people that really look
• 46:16
  Speaker 1: at the points and all that kind of stuff, and
• 46:18
  Speaker 1: everybody's got different charts when it comes to the points
• 46:21
  Speaker 1: and how much they that they are weigh in there.
• 46:23
  Speaker 1: But you know, I I think it was more like
• 46:27
  Speaker 1: seven or eight of just twelve and twenty and nothing.
• 46:33
  Speaker 1: Nothing back like seven or eight. Now, if you're going
• 46:36
  Speaker 1: up to six that you're right. I think it's a
• 46:38
  Speaker 1: little rich and you would want something in return, maybe
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: maybe a third. You mentioned the Lsu corner. I mean,
• 46:44
  Speaker 1: I just think for him to run in the four threes,
• 46:49
  Speaker 1: he did it twice.
• 46:50
  Speaker 15: I mean, I don't know why people aren't talking about
• 46:53
  Speaker 15: him more. I think that's that people say because well
• 46:56
  Speaker 15: they are now, and that's they got to stop running
• 46:58
  Speaker 15: and doing stuff. Man, the kill Sonny stop else for
• 47:00
  Speaker 15: us the or killing man store Delaine for us, like,
• 47:02
  Speaker 15: stop doing stuff, guys, what are we doing?
• 47:04
  Speaker 1: Stop making dollars?
• 47:06
  Speaker 15: You know, yeah, think think about the about the cowboys.
• 47:10
  Speaker 5: What are we doing?
• 47:12
  Speaker 15: But no, And I see people, you know, they said
• 47:14
  Speaker 15: they kind of they don't want him all along because
• 47:15
  Speaker 15: he's more of an outside guy and we have outside guys.
• 47:17
  Speaker 15: But I'm sorry. As much as I like Dron Blaine
• 47:19
  Speaker 15: and I like Rebel and stuff, if your DC is
• 47:23
  Speaker 15: worth his salt, which I think he is, go give
• 47:25
  Speaker 15: him another piece. He'll figure out what to do with
• 47:28
  Speaker 15: these pieces and make everything work. And we don't know
• 47:31
  Speaker 15: what Blane's future looks like. We don't know if Rebel's
• 47:33
  Speaker 15: ever going to be, you know, a good corner, and
• 47:35
  Speaker 15: I think he will be, but we don't know. So like,
• 47:37
  Speaker 15: those guys aren't prohibiting me from taking a corner like Delane,
• 47:41
  Speaker 15: who I'm pretty feel pretty strongly about, not just because
• 47:44
  Speaker 15: he ran well, but because of his tape, his stats, everything.
• 47:46
  Speaker 15: He is just a really good corner. And at pick
• 47:48
  Speaker 15: twelve that will be a phenomenal get if you were
• 47:51
  Speaker 15: to make it there. But the more and more the
• 47:53
  Speaker 15: thing shapes up, if we did stick and pick I
• 47:55
  Speaker 15: really am thinking that we're gonna love somebody, somebody there
• 47:57
  Speaker 15: at twelve, whether that's Delaine or if as well as
• 48:01
  Speaker 15: his pro day, even if Dallas isn't take him. That's
• 48:03
  Speaker 15: another name to throwing the loop there at the top
• 48:04
  Speaker 15: ten picks possibly. So you know that means some of
• 48:07
  Speaker 15: those falls. It's a lot of stuff is falling into
• 48:09
  Speaker 15: the Cowboys favor I think recently, and I'm really excited
• 48:12
  Speaker 15: to see where this thing, this thing ends up.
• 48:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I think we use the term and I
• 48:17
  Speaker 1: might have said it wiped out. I mean, you're not
• 48:20
  Speaker 1: gonna get wiped out with the twelfth pick. I mean,
• 48:23
  Speaker 1: you might not get who you think is going to be,
• 48:27
  Speaker 1: like this elite guy. But I mean when you think
• 48:29
  Speaker 1: of college football and you think that you're going to
• 48:31
  Speaker 1: get the twelfth best player coming out of college football
• 48:34
  Speaker 1: for this defense, for what they need, somebody's gonna be
• 48:38
  Speaker 1: able to help and they should be able to help
• 48:40
  Speaker 1: right away. And I think to me that that would
• 48:43
  Speaker 1: be the difference maker. If I'm if I'm deciding between
• 48:46
  Speaker 1: this guy, this guy, this guy, I'm I'm looking for
• 48:49
  Speaker 1: the guy that's ready to play right now.
• 48:51
  Speaker 15: You know, I think we see it every year where
• 48:54
  Speaker 15: there's a tackle run in the time, there's like three
• 48:56
  Speaker 15: tackles that are the kind of top of this tackle
• 48:58
  Speaker 15: class in this draft, and it's like when the first
• 49:00
  Speaker 15: tackle goes, the dominoes kind of fall, and then the
• 49:03
  Speaker 15: next team that needs a tackles like, oh, shoot, got
• 49:04
  Speaker 15: to take a tackle because I'm not going to get
• 49:06
  Speaker 15: one with my next pick. So I think that we
• 49:08
  Speaker 15: might see that and we're going to see some defender's fault.
• 49:10
  Speaker 15: But if by some miracle, the top ten picks top eleven,
• 49:13
  Speaker 15: picture like eight nine defenders and you're sitting there looking
• 49:16
  Speaker 15: at malgo at twelve right the tackle from Miami, I
• 49:19
  Speaker 15: wouldn't goff at that either, because you need one. Both
• 49:22
  Speaker 15: your book ends are pretty weak on this team in
• 49:23
  Speaker 15: my opinion, and probably the only offensive player I would
• 49:26
  Speaker 15: consider there without trying to bail. I know I'll get
• 49:29
  Speaker 15: killed for saying that people don't want another tackle, but
• 49:32
  Speaker 15: it's a need. Like it or not, it's a need
• 49:34
  Speaker 15: and it's something that I would definitely consider.
• 49:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm I don't disagree, and I think it was
• 49:39
  Speaker 1: Josh and Chicago said the same thing about offensive tackle.
• 49:42
  Speaker 1: I just don't. I don't disagree there. I think it
• 49:45
  Speaker 1: would be important pick up. I don't know, you know, need.
• 49:49
  Speaker 1: I don't think it's the highest need, but I do
• 49:52
  Speaker 1: think that if that, if that guy's rated high on
• 49:54
  Speaker 1: your board and he's there, I mean, why not, you know.
• 49:58
  Speaker 15: I just remember last year, you know, the offense started
• 50:00
  Speaker 15: to struggle in some of these games, especially down the stretch,
• 50:02
  Speaker 15: and a large part of it was because of your
• 50:04
  Speaker 15: offensive tackle play. And you can go roll out there
• 50:07
  Speaker 15: and be a competent offense. It's probably a top five
• 50:09
  Speaker 15: offense honestly without getting a tackle. But if that's the
• 50:12
  Speaker 15: guy that's there staring at the face, it is what
• 50:14
  Speaker 15: it is. I'm not going to be mad about it.
• 50:16
  Speaker 15: You know. It doesn't sound like he would be mad
• 50:18
  Speaker 15: about it either.
• 50:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, Dylan, Good, all right? I thinks always
• 50:22
  Speaker 1: good to hear from Dylan in Northport, Florida. Let's go
• 50:26
  Speaker 1: to Troy in Philly. Troy, what's up you there? Don't
• 50:36
  Speaker 1: hear from Troy?
• 50:38
  Speaker 5: Hello?
• 50:38
  Speaker 4: I'm here, all right?
• 50:39
  Speaker 1: What's up? Man?
• 50:41
  Speaker 16: I'm sorry, man, I got.
• 50:42
  Speaker 1: To head you on mute, just talking to myself.
• 50:48
  Speaker 4: How you making out, man? Things going with you? Oh?
• 50:50
  Speaker 1: It's good, it's good. I'm glad, you know, we're we're
• 50:53
  Speaker 1: moving right along in this offseason and free agency is
• 50:57
  Speaker 1: what it is, probably going to have a couple more
• 50:59
  Speaker 1: I would think, make a couple more moves one way
• 51:01
  Speaker 1: or another before we get to the draft, and then
• 51:04
  Speaker 1: we can kind of focus on that.
• 51:05
  Speaker 4: So go ahead, that's right where I want to jump
• 51:10
  Speaker 4: in right there.
• 51:11
  Speaker 3: So I.
• 51:14
  Speaker 16: Keep hearing that Jerry would like to do a little
• 51:18
  Speaker 16: more in terms of, you know, as he said, bust
• 51:20
  Speaker 16: the budget, but Steven is kind of holding things back
• 51:24
  Speaker 16: a little bit. One, I guess my question is is
• 51:27
  Speaker 16: that true? And two, if it is, when won't hear
• 51:33
  Speaker 16: or why won't Jerry just say, Hey, this is one
• 51:35
  Speaker 16: team I want to buy. You know, I'm going to
• 51:37
  Speaker 16: go and get it who I want to get. Well,
• 51:39
  Speaker 16: I'm having I'm having that that that that struggle, and
• 51:42
  Speaker 16: I keep hearing this thing is like, especially when Jerry
• 51:45
  Speaker 16: is a little older and he wants to win before
• 51:47
  Speaker 16: his time is up and all that.
• 51:49
  Speaker 4: I just keep hearing that.
• 51:51
  Speaker 1: Well, but but there's give and take to that, and
• 51:54
  Speaker 1: and and trust me, there's times when you're glad, when
• 51:57
  Speaker 1: you would be glad that that did happen, you know,
• 52:00
  Speaker 1: and we all know about the obvious, but because if not,
• 52:04
  Speaker 1: then you're drafting Johnny Manziel. You're drafting Johnny Manziel with
• 52:07
  Speaker 1: the sixteenth pick and you're not taking Zach Martin because
• 52:10
  Speaker 1: that's what Jerry wanted to do. And there's been others
• 52:12
  Speaker 1: situations like that. So and I'm again that's just one
• 52:16
  Speaker 1: example that was well documented and all that stuff. As
• 52:20
  Speaker 1: for this, you know, I think bust the budget just
• 52:23
  Speaker 1: like all in I think it's been mentioned a couple
• 52:25
  Speaker 1: of times, tongue in cheek. Now it's become like a slogan.
• 52:29
  Speaker 1: And you know Steven didn't say that, you know, like
• 52:32
  Speaker 1: he I don't. I don't think I've heard him say that.
• 52:35
  Speaker 1: And so it is a situation where you know, you
• 52:39
  Speaker 1: want to go out and do some things, which is
• 52:41
  Speaker 1: still going to be smart. You know, just if you
• 52:43
  Speaker 1: go to the mall shopping, you got money to spend,
• 52:46
  Speaker 1: but you're not gonna have bad deals. You're not gonna
• 52:48
  Speaker 1: you're not gonna buy bad things. You're you're looking for
• 52:51
  Speaker 1: the right thing to come along because you have money
• 52:53
  Speaker 1: in your pocket. But that doesn't mean you're gonna go
• 52:54
  Speaker 1: out and spend everything. And and it's it's tough for
• 52:58
  Speaker 1: them because they're philosophy on free agency is these deals,
• 53:02
  Speaker 1: we're just not going to go to this level. And
• 53:05
  Speaker 1: I know that they've been criticized on some of the
• 53:07
  Speaker 1: linebackers that they let go or whatever, but you got
• 53:10
  Speaker 1: to remember some of those linebackers, there's people inside this
• 53:13
  Speaker 1: building they're like, do not go there. This guy is
• 53:16
  Speaker 1: not a good player. It doesn't stay healthy, you know
• 53:19
  Speaker 1: all that. And so I mean, you know, just just
• 53:22
  Speaker 1: because Christian Parker at Philly knew Nikobe Dean at Philly,
• 53:27
  Speaker 1: doesn't mean he was able to say, hey, bust the
• 53:29
  Speaker 1: budget on this guy, you know what I mean. So,
• 53:33
  Speaker 1: I I don't know, I think that I think still
• 53:37
  Speaker 1: you know that they're looking at good deals. They're looking
• 53:40
  Speaker 1: for things that make decisions. I mean, they're trying to
• 53:42
  Speaker 1: make decisions that they're smart moves for them. But you know,
• 53:46
  Speaker 1: I don't think they're going to go They're never going
• 53:47
  Speaker 1: to go crazy this time of year free agency. They
• 53:50
  Speaker 1: just they just don't.
• 53:52
  Speaker 4: Got But my man, you're the best man.
• 53:54
  Speaker 1: But what what all? And I'll throw it back to you,
• 53:57
  Speaker 1: what what would you Is there something out there that
• 54:00
  Speaker 1: you would like, Hey, they need to do this or
• 54:03
  Speaker 1: I really wish they would have done this move.
• 54:06
  Speaker 4: Well, I heard one of those linebackers n Kobe Dean.
• 54:12
  Speaker 16: I forget who the other one.
• 54:13
  Speaker 1: Was another Raiders. Was it quite Quait Walker?
• 54:18
  Speaker 4: Yes, that's what was.
• 54:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he was on their board. From what I've heard,
• 54:24
  Speaker 1: Walker was was top linebacker.
• 54:27
  Speaker 13: Uh.
• 54:27
  Speaker 1: And then maybe the one that Jacksonville had. They're coming
• 54:32
  Speaker 1: these names are kind of coming together. But but I
• 54:35
  Speaker 1: forgot that right. The Jaguars had a linebacker too that
• 54:39
  Speaker 1: was right up there too. So there was really like
• 54:41
  Speaker 1: three that they that they wanted.
• 54:43
  Speaker 12: Uh.
• 54:44
  Speaker 16: And I heard that there was maybe like a two
• 54:47
  Speaker 16: or three million dollar difference, and you know, again they
• 54:49
  Speaker 16: just didn't, you know, didn't didn't work out. I know
• 54:52
  Speaker 16: that Dean just didn't want to play for the Cowboys,
• 54:55
  Speaker 16: but the other guy, like, you know, that's why I
• 54:58
  Speaker 16: was a little like, man, they could.
• 55:01
  Speaker 4: We need linebacker? Yeah, and that's that's a good.
• 55:04
  Speaker 16: One, especially you know the Quay guy. Yeah, that's that's
• 55:07
  Speaker 16: why I kind of hurt that.
• 55:08
  Speaker 1: I'm like, man, maybe maybe those two Raiders linebackers said,
• 55:13
  Speaker 1: you know that they're like what we think is going
• 55:15
  Speaker 1: to happen is is we think Baltimore is going to
• 55:17
  Speaker 1: back out of this trade back to Crosby is going
• 55:20
  Speaker 1: to return. He's going to be rushing the passer in
• 55:22
  Speaker 1: front of us, and now we're gonna have one of
• 55:24
  Speaker 1: the greatest defenses ever in one year. So maybe they
• 55:27
  Speaker 1: knew all along what was going to happen. I don't
• 55:29
  Speaker 1: know talking about busting the budget, I mean, the Raiders
• 55:32
  Speaker 1: were all good to go and then didn't realize that
• 55:34
  Speaker 1: Crosby's coming back. Oh, but that's what that's when you know,
• 55:39
  Speaker 1: you have a lot of you have a lot of
• 55:41
  Speaker 1: cap space, We're able to do all that.
• 55:44
  Speaker 16: So the Raiders were really actually end up they've done
• 55:47
  Speaker 16: a pretty good job except for the cross.
• 55:49
  Speaker 4: But well, I was just wondering about that, man.
• 55:52
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 55:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I just think that they have they have numbers
• 55:55
  Speaker 1: in mind on these guys, and they're really not going
• 55:57
  Speaker 1: to go over you know, because if they that to
• 56:02
  Speaker 1: me just shows that not everybody was bought in on
• 56:05
  Speaker 1: these players. And so they're like, all right, yeah, if
• 56:07
  Speaker 1: you're gonna stick to this number, that's fine, we'll do it.
• 56:09
  Speaker 1: But if not, I wouldn't go higher than this. And
• 56:12
  Speaker 1: and you got to be I think got to applaud
• 56:15
  Speaker 1: teams or not just teams, but people in general for saying, yeah,
• 56:19
  Speaker 1: I'll do it for this, but I'm not gonna go
• 56:20
  Speaker 1: over what I think it is. And it always goes
• 56:23
  Speaker 1: back to DeMarco Murray for me, DeMarco Murray had eighteen
• 56:26
  Speaker 1: hundred rushing yards Player of the Year in twenty fourteen.
• 56:29
  Speaker 1: He was a free agent and the Cowboys said, we're
• 56:31
  Speaker 1: gonna pay six million or five you know, that's just
• 56:34
  Speaker 1: what we're gonna pay you. And the Eagles paid a
• 56:37
  Speaker 1: lot more and they let him go. And it wasn't
• 56:40
  Speaker 1: it turned out. You know, he didn't have a great
• 56:41
  Speaker 1: year in Philly. He ended up going to the Titans
• 56:43
  Speaker 1: and did well, but they had you know, they had
• 56:47
  Speaker 1: a number in mind and they didn't go over that.
• 56:49
  Speaker 1: And and you can criticize the Cowboys for not doing
• 56:53
  Speaker 1: it this year, but I know one guy that everybody
• 56:57
  Speaker 1: was wanting two years ago, was it Greenlaw? Why didn't
• 57:01
  Speaker 1: Jerry do that? Why did they let Greenlaw go to Denver? Well,
• 57:04
  Speaker 1: you know, he goes in place one half a year,
• 57:07
  Speaker 1: got her suspended. He was a good player, but but
• 57:11
  Speaker 1: you know they cut him. So so these three linebackers again,
• 57:16
  Speaker 1: I don't even remember all their names. Lloyd Devin Lloyd
• 57:20
  Speaker 1: is has his name maybe from Jacksonville, but right, yeah, yeah,
• 57:23
  Speaker 1: Walker Lloyd. And then you know, Dean, I bet one
• 57:28
  Speaker 1: of those guys gets cut next year, you know, I
• 57:30
  Speaker 1: mean so just because the money is so much higher
• 57:34
  Speaker 1: than the value. So let's not forget that. Let's not
• 57:37
  Speaker 1: forget some of those guys that you're like, how did
• 57:39
  Speaker 1: they let beaddish out the door? Well, beadsh got cut
• 57:42
  Speaker 1: by Washington too. So you know these contracts that that
• 57:46
  Speaker 1: teams have this money for agency and they're they're you know,
• 57:49
  Speaker 1: flooding the market. They come back to reality in a
• 57:52
  Speaker 1: year or two, and that's what I think the Cowboys
• 57:54
  Speaker 1: are trying to avoid. So everybody's got their own philosophy.
• 57:58
  Speaker 1: All right, Troy, good stuff.
• 58:00
  Speaker 16: Less get one last one of last questions and now
• 58:02
  Speaker 16: I'll let you go. How much way does Christian Parker
• 58:06
  Speaker 16: hasn't have in the room? How much you know, are
• 58:09
  Speaker 16: they giving him control of the defense and even some
• 58:12
  Speaker 16: of the players that he wants to go after.
• 58:13
  Speaker 4: I'm just wondering about.
• 58:14
  Speaker 13: That as well.
• 58:15
  Speaker 1: I think so, yeah, I think he's got that. You know,
• 58:18
  Speaker 1: That's that's one of the things. Thanks thanks for the call.
• 58:22
  Speaker 1: I think that what happened last year. I think the
• 58:28
  Speaker 1: Cowboys were like, hey, we got a defensive coordinator. I mean,
• 58:30
  Speaker 1: we know flu's flus is good, we got flu's shoddy.
• 58:35
  Speaker 1: You you you fix this offense and do what you
• 58:37
  Speaker 1: want to do. And I mean they brought guys from
• 58:39
  Speaker 1: all over the place that had really worked together, and
• 58:42
  Speaker 1: it all you know, it worked. I mean, they they
• 58:44
  Speaker 1: had it, they had it going defensively. It didn't work
• 58:48
  Speaker 1: if Louis was there and a lot of guys he
• 58:50
  Speaker 1: had worked with before in Chicago and all that, it
• 58:52
  Speaker 1: just just didn't didn't mesh obviously. And I think that
• 58:57
  Speaker 1: they were like, all right, well let's take some of
• 59:00
  Speaker 1: that mindset that on offense and then let's let's let
• 59:03
  Speaker 1: him you know, shoty. You you picked the guy, you know,
• 59:06
  Speaker 1: and and and he was able to and and then
• 59:09
  Speaker 1: Christian Parker was it. And now Christian Parker do the
• 59:11
  Speaker 1: things that you want to do. And yeah, you're always
• 59:15
  Speaker 1: gonna have a say. Everyone's going to have a say,
• 59:16
  Speaker 1: and if they totally disagree, but I think he's going
• 59:20
  Speaker 1: to have, you know, say in the room. Uh, and
• 59:22
  Speaker 1: we'll see, we'll see you on draft day. You know,
• 59:24
  Speaker 1: if he steps up and says, I got a vision
• 59:27
  Speaker 1: for this guy, this is where I would play him.
• 59:29
  Speaker 1: This is why I think I would go with him. Yeah,
• 59:31
  Speaker 1: I think the Cowboys will will definitely let him have
• 59:33
  Speaker 1: a voice in that. If not, then what what are we?
• 59:35
  Speaker 1: What are we doing?
• 59:36
  Speaker 3: You know?
• 59:36
  Speaker 1: So he's in a good situation and that you know,
• 59:40
  Speaker 1: it didn't work last year. What they what they decided
• 59:43
  Speaker 1: to do last year didn't work. So now he has
• 59:45
  Speaker 1: a chance to do some thing. So let's go to
• 59:47
  Speaker 1: break real quick on Cowboys story and I'll be right
• 59:49

  Speaker 1: He's been holding Sebastian and Savannah, Georgia. What's up, Good.
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 17: Morning, sir, How you doing good?
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 1: How you doing?
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 17: Speaking of YETI I just started using my Yetti cup
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 17: for like the first time a couple of months back,
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 17: and I used it to ever freaking I think it's awesome.
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 1: Make sure and washed it out though, you know what
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 1: I mean? Yeah, yeah for a little bit, and then
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 1: you're like, oh, what was in here? Yeah yeah, yeah,
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 1: don't do that.
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 17: Funny enough fun quote for Yetti. I left that day
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 17: in the sun for like eight hour. I had ice
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 17: in my cup. I still had a heicce of my
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 17: club when I came back to my cub now the
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 17: live pot, but I had ice in the cup. Outside
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 17: of that, I look at the all the moves of
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 17: the Coboys that made the off season as a whole
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 17: as a net positive, and I very much enjoyed the
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 17: way that they run this off season. Yes, he didn't
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 17: bust the budget, but I always take whatver Jerry says
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 17: in the beginning of the season with a grain of salt.
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 17: Loved The signing of Christian Parker reminds me of when
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 17: I took over this company when I was thirty four
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 17: years old. And no, I didn't have everything in hand,
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 17: and I made some mistakes along the way, but I
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 17: was just prepared as I could be. And we're going
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 17: on six years now and it's been nothing but a success.
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 17: So I'm hoping for him to have the exact same
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 17: type of success.
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 8: Going for it as well.
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 17: Love the signing of Thompson. I liked the signing of
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 17: a lot of the other people that they signed, like
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 17: the re signing of our running back was of course.
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 17: Now everybody's been in the camp of Key Geek, and
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 17: like I said, I didn't want to pay him the
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 17: max deal whatever, but at twenty seven million dollar rental
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 17: to see how he plays this year is not bad
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 17: at all. If that's what they and that's the route
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 17: that I would go. I would just keep it in
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 17: the year to year face right now. Let him prove
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 17: it again. And I look at it like Jackson, with
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 17: his team won the super Bowl. That's the kind of
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 17: guy who should get the max deal. Your team went
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 17: to the playoffs, you win all those games, you're a pivot.
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 4: Part of that.
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 17: If he can prove that he can be that this year,
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 17: then I got no problem pay or whatever the heck
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 17: he needs to be paid. Outside of that, it's been
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 17: a pleasure listening to the show all year longer. Know
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 17: I haven't been able to make it back in every
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 17: week like some of the captains of stuff kids.
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 10: But it's been really cool.
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 17: You got to do it a great job.
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 3: And thank you so much.
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 1: Take my thanks. I appreciate it. Sebastian. Always good to
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 1: hear from you. Good points.
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 5: And you know, the.
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 1: One of the biggest, you know, free agent moves of
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 1: the entire season is is this, and not just with
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 1: the Cowboys of the NFL, is what happens with Pickens.
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 1: This is a very difficult process. I mean, Jackson smith
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 1: and Jigba is not That's not difficult, you know. And
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 1: I've heard again the people that want to bast Jerry
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 1: will always bash Jerry. I hear it on the radio.
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 1: I hear it. I hear from some of you guys,
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 1: one in particular, love to do that. And that's fine.
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 1: And it's easy to look at and say, well look,
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 1: and I actually heard it as the news broke the
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 1: other day of well, look, some teams talk to their
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 1: star receiver and they get a deal done. And look
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 1: what Seattle just did with Jackson Smiths and jig But cool,
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 1: how hard is that? How hard is that decision? Guy
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 1: had one of the greatest receiver of receiving seasons of
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 1: any player in the NFL history. He's their only offensive
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 1: player that they really have that quarterback included. That is
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 1: like a star. They went, they won the Super Bowl.
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 1: He's amazing. He's a young guy. Set the market. Yeah.
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 1: Is he going to be higher than Chase Yes? Yes?
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 1: Is he going to continue to do it without a doubt.
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 1: He's the guy you want to build around. There's not
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 1: another one a one b over there. He's the guy.
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 1: He's deserving. How hard is that. Let's get a deal done.
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 1: The number is forty one and a half. Okay, you're
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 1: at forty two. Boom. He didn't do a miica situation
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 1: that he tried to reset it at forty seven. Know
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 1: this is I'm next, I got it, Thank you, Let's
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 1: go win another one. That's the mindset. That's not hard.
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 1: The picking situation is hard because he's done it for
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 1: one year and so, and he's had three others that
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 1: he didn't go like that. So is it is it you?
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 1: Did you find? Did the light bulb finally come on?
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 1: Or did you benefit from what you have here? What
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 1: you have on the other side, what you have at quarterback,
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 1: what we've have in this offense. So you know, did
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 1: we help you? Did you? I mean, of course, I
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 1: mean there's a give and take there, and so it's
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 1: it's not an easy call. How's he going to handle
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 1: this franchise tag? That's a big question, Like, like Sebastian
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 1: just said, a rental at twenty eight million a year,
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 1: you have, you know, one year, Let's see what he does. Well,
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 1: what if he doesn't, because you know, let's let's remember
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 1: who who his agents are, and let's remember what Mikah
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 1: Parsons was doing and threatening to do. You know, that's
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 1: when it all went sour. When when when it looked
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 1: like Mica Parsons was trying to get creative to find
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 1: ways not to play. When that happened, now you had
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 1: an issue and you had to trade them again. I'm
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 1: not I'm not trying to say this is gonna happen whatever,
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 1: but it's still it's just a unique situation that not
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 1: everybody loves to play on the tag? So do they
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 1: play on the tag? Is he hear it? In the
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 1: off seasons here in training camp was ready to go.
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 1: You're gonna hold out all training camps and then come
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 1: and be ready. I don't know. There's a lot of
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 1: little factors involved here, and the Cowboys need to have
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 1: all their ducks in a row and figure out how
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 1: this thing's gonna go. Especially if they're sitting on the
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 1: clock at number twelve and the very best player on
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 1: the board is a wide receiver. You better have all
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 1: those things figured out, all right, Lewis and Langston, Oklahoma's
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 1: the next.
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 4: What's going on?
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 6: I heard you I was just going into the draft
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 6: was kind of where I was talking thinking about.
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 1: And I was I was I had some attitude in there.
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 1: I was like pointing fingers and all that. What we're
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 1: did that come from?
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 6: I was like, he's going right into my compensation. I'll
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 6: gonna ask for you. Seem like you got some smoke
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 6: coming out to me.
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 1: Let's go.
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 6: So I would figure, right, if you say we sitting
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 6: at twelve, we're not gonna move from twelve, or we
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 6: say we're not gonna move from twelve, but we get
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 6: wiped out, and I'm saying that we're gonna get wiped out.
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 6: Do you take the best option or do you take
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 6: the best option as far as somebody calling and you
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 6: moving back, or do you take the best offensive player.
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 6: For me personally, I say, take the best offensive player,
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 6: and I don't care if that's a tackle or a
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 6: receiver or the running back. Now, I wouldn't take no quarterback.
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 6: But as far as when it comes to that, like
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 6: twelve fight and I would honestly say the same thing
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 6: at twenty. But as much as I want to fix
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 6: the defense, if we get to the point where all
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 6: of the people that we want or what we have
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 6: on the board are gone, I mean, I wouldn't want
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 6: to say just bell out of there and take whatever.
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 15: You can get from whoever calls or whoever you call.
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 6: But really, like you said, like what if this whole
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 6: situation where pickings go sour and there's a receiver sitting
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 6: there and we don't know what's going on with our tackles.
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 6: There's a tackle sitting there, and as much as I
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 6: love Javonte, he's you know, he may step on a
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 6: nail tomorrow or something we need and love is sitting there.
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 6: So I would say, at this point, I'm looking at
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 6: why not take the best player available.
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 4: As much as I.
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 6: Want a defensive player to help us, if the guy
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 6: that we say we want to get or the guy
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 6: that we the two guys or three guys that on
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 6: the board that we don't really know how we feel about.
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 8: Him, like Downs.
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 6: I love Downs. I want Downs to play for the
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 6: Dallas Cowboys. But I mean with all his medical red
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 6: flags they keep saying that he has, I mean, are
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 6: we really that sure that we want to take that
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 6: kind of risk because me, personally, I would, but I'm
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 6: not the Dallas Cowboys. And so do you take the
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 6: best receivers sitting there because you don't want to just
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 6: take Downs just to take them? And then he doesn't
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 6: play for another a year and a half, or what's
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 6: the Jami McCoy who hasn't played in the year, And yeah,
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 6: he has the best corner back tape, But we keep
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 6: signing corners, So do we really need another corner Not
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 6: saying that I wouldn't like him to be there, but
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 6: we keep signing corners. I saw we signing another corner yesterday.
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 6: So I mean, are we just like taking corner off
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 6: the board that we keep signing them or.
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 7: What are we doing? No?
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 1: No, no, no, no, those those those cornerbacks are are
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 1: are cornerbacks that aren't going to be in the league.
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 1: I mean, I mean, I'm just saying there's four or
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 1: five cornerbacks that they that they have at the bottom
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 1: that are probably not going to be playing, you know,
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 1: for this team, maybe not even go to training camp.
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 1: I mean, they they're they're filling out the numbers. But
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 1: you know, the Cowboys signed Rob Jones. I'll just say
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 1: that they signed Rob Jones in free agency last year.
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 1: They had Bass as an exclusive rights, they had Hoffmin
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 1: and then what did they do at number twelve because
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 1: he was the best guy on the board. They took Booker.
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 1: So you know, you put band aids on things until
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 1: until it's time to actually do the draft, to do
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 1: the surgery, that's what you do. Now, that's all they're
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 1: doing a cornerback. Trust me, if the LSU cornerback falls
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 1: to them at twelve, that card is getting You don't
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 1: turn in a card anymore because it's twenty twenty six.
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 1: But they're hitting some button and it's going through. Or
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 1: nowadays Ai has just come in and says, we know
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 1: that you're thinking this, and we've already gone in and
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 1: you know done that. So all I'm saying is is
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 1: that it won't take long to draft that cornerback. Doesn't
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 1: matter how many of these corners that they're bringing in
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 1: right now, that these guys are just you know, bottom feeders.
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 6: Really yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, l'sh all man, I want
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 6: to hold it, but I appreciate it, all right, I'll listen.
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 1: I talked to you when you guys are making good
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 1: cases now for this for the offense. Really I thought
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 1: that was you know again, I think everyone is just
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 1: throwing in just you know, just having some rationale here,
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 1: Like everybody is saying defense, You've got to fix the defense,
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 1: and your priorities are defense. But you're not going to
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 1: sacrifice what you have with the twelfth pick just to
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 1: move down to sixteen, just to get just to justify
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 1: taking that defensive guy. You know you're gonna do that
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 1: for a third round pick. Maybe you know, But but
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 1: I think that they will stick to their board. And
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 1: I think you can make a case. You've made good
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 1: cases that you can. You can say this is why
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 1: you would take a receiver. And again it has to
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 1: come down to where things are gonna be with pickings
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 1: and all that, but this is why you would take
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 1: a running back, this is why you would take an
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 1: offensive tackle. I don't think it's gonna be a quarterback,
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 1: but I don't think it's gonna be a tied end.
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 1: But if you take those other three positions, I think
• 1:11:45
  Speaker 1: you can justify why they would. There'd be questions, but
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 1: I think that the Cowboys would have legitimate answers for them.
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 1: Let's go last caller here. It's gonna be Jr. And
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 1: Avendale Arizona Jr. What's up? I hope you're not an
• 1:11:56
  Speaker 1: Arizona White Wildcat fan.
• 1:11:59
  Speaker 8: I am not actually good.
• 1:12:03
  Speaker 1: I hope people around you're upset on Thursday. I'm not
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 1: expecting that to happen, but sure it would be nice.
• 1:12:10
  Speaker 9: I'm actually root for the razorback because you're such a
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 9: good guy.
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 5: Let's go.
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 1: I need it, we need it. Let's go.
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 9: I'm not gonna yell the pig sueye thing for you, though,
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 9: so I'm gonna draw the line there.
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 1: You know what, if you're not an Arkansas fan, we
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 1: don't want you to do it because you won't do
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 1: it right, you know what.
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 5: I am not all right.
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 9: I could do the role really good.
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 1: But man, okay, all right, all right, now you're going
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 1: south here? Alright, what do you got there?
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 8: Pig showye?
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 1: Let's go, Tommy ys doing that. Tommy Yards did that
• 1:12:49
  Speaker 1: one time and I go, you should never have done that,
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 1: and he sent it, sent me a picture, he sent
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 1: me a video, and I guess he sent the beam.
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 1: I was like, you should never have done that because
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 1: now now we're going to use it all the time.
• 1:13:01
  Speaker 1: So anyways, that was awesome.
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 9: Yea, So one hundred and seventy one days until football season,
• 1:13:07
  Speaker 9: so off seasons moving right along. So I'm still this pointed.
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 9: And well, I haven't to listening to the show today
• 1:13:12
  Speaker 9: because I'm traveling, so I apologize if I'm off topic
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 9: or anything.
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 3: But no blue chipper.
• 1:13:17
  Speaker 9: I really want to get one of those blue chip
• 1:13:19
  Speaker 9: guys at edge or or linebacker, and they haven't done that.
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 9: Hopefully something's coming up. But I just wonder if because
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 9: the Cowboys don't they're not big in free agency, don't
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 9: do this fun. Maybe they're just not good at it.
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 9: We know they went after Crosby and Lloyd and all
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 9: these guys at Kobe d and they didn't win, and
• 1:13:40
  Speaker 9: maybe it's because they're just not used to shopping at
• 1:13:43
  Speaker 9: that level, if that makes any sense. You know, you
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 9: you you shop at Dollar Tree or Dollar General, maybe
• 1:13:50
  Speaker 9: go to Target. But when you go up to Loomingdale's,
• 1:13:54
  Speaker 9: it's like too expensive up here, but I can get
• 1:13:58
  Speaker 9: something very similar at the target and you choose to
• 1:14:01
  Speaker 9: go with that. So maybe there's not good at the
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 9: free agency thing because they don't do it. They're not
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 9: like the Rams shopping on Rodeo Driver.
• 1:14:09
  Speaker 1: You missed me, You missed me on that one. I mean,
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 1: have you have you have you been to the Star?
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 1: Have you seen this place?
• 1:14:15
  Speaker 3: Have?
• 1:14:15
  Speaker 1: I mean, have you actually had a tour? I mean,
• 1:14:17
  Speaker 1: I'm just saying. All I'm saying is if Jerry wants
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 1: to take it to Rodeo Drive, he has no problem
• 1:14:23
  Speaker 1: going there. Okay, he can go there with the best
• 1:14:26
  Speaker 1: of them. They're choosing not to in this case. It's
• 1:14:28
  Speaker 1: not because they don't know how to do it. Trust
• 1:14:31
  Speaker 1: me what I tell you. Look around at this place.
• 1:14:33
  Speaker 1: They could play the game that they want to play
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 1: the game. All right, I got it.
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 9: They spend money, but they maybe I'm talking about the
• 1:14:41
  Speaker 9: ability to negotiate these deals, maybe get out bid by
• 1:14:45
  Speaker 9: the raid.
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 1: By the well maybe maybe because when they go to Bloomingdale's,
• 1:14:50
  Speaker 1: Jerry knows what what these products are really worth? What
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 1: what what you know? How much over marked they are
• 1:14:57
  Speaker 1: over you know, what they should be. So maybe he
• 1:15:00
  Speaker 1: kind of has an understanding maybe that they at least
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 1: they think they do. But why would we pay for
• 1:15:04
  Speaker 1: it here when we can go get the same thing
• 1:15:06
  Speaker 1: over here?
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 9: So it's not the same thing.
• 1:15:09
  Speaker 3: Are you sure it's not?
• 1:15:10
  Speaker 1: Are you sure it's not?
• 1:15:13
  Speaker 7: Like?
• 1:15:13
  Speaker 9: I mean, they've signed one. How many free agents have
• 1:15:17
  Speaker 9: they signed from the outside that were those big, big names,
• 1:15:22
  Speaker 9: big deals that really made a big difference.
• 1:15:24
  Speaker 1: I know, you know, no they have it, But how
• 1:15:27
  Speaker 1: many times have they have they gone in and then
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 1: they I mean, they haven't done that. They haven't even
• 1:15:32
  Speaker 1: gone to to try for that, you.
• 1:15:34
  Speaker 6: Know what I mean?
• 1:15:35
  Speaker 9: So I hear you that makes perfect sense.
• 1:15:38
  Speaker 1: I just it's a philosophy. I'm not trying to say
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 1: they're right or wrong. I'm saying there they haven't had
• 1:15:43
  Speaker 1: a lot of swings they're missing because they haven't really
• 1:15:45
  Speaker 1: been swinging at that. So and you can you can
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 1: fault them for that if you want to faulted for that.
• 1:15:51
  Speaker 1: But they don't swing and miss the fridgency because they
• 1:15:53
  Speaker 1: don't swing.
• 1:15:54
  Speaker 3: You know exactly, they stand in.
• 1:15:56
  Speaker 1: But they're starting to miss a little bit in the draft,
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 1: and it's starting to catch up. So now you know
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 1: this is a good time turned around. All right, you
• 1:16:05
  Speaker 1: got any more points? We gotta, we gotta.
• 1:16:08
  Speaker 9: I just wanted to throw a trivia out. Therefore, you
• 1:16:10
  Speaker 9: can amaze on your trivia.
• 1:16:12
  Speaker 7: Go for it.
• 1:16:13
  Speaker 9: This is probably before you were alive. But we'll see
• 1:16:16
  Speaker 9: how good you are. Pro Bowl player for the Cowboys
• 1:16:21
  Speaker 9: made the Pro Bowl. He was a defensive player. He
• 1:16:25
  Speaker 9: won MVP of the Pro Bowl, but more so for
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 9: his what he did on offense versus what.
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 3: He did on defense.
• 1:16:32
  Speaker 1: So he played offense and defense.
• 1:16:36
  Speaker 5: In the Pro Bowl.
• 1:16:37
  Speaker 9: He did offensive thing that won him the Most Valuable Player.
• 1:16:43
  Speaker 1: But he would play for the Cowboys a defense.
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 9: He was a cow A superstar defensive. I'll give you that.
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 9: He was a superstar on defense.
• 1:16:52
  Speaker 1: I have no idea. I mean, but it screams like
• 1:16:55
  Speaker 1: mel Renfro or Cornell Green.
• 1:16:56
  Speaker 8: But again again, you are the man.
• 1:16:59
  Speaker 3: Mel Renfro.
• 1:17:01
  Speaker 1: I didn't know that. I did not know he was
• 1:17:02
  Speaker 1: the MVP of the Pro Bowl.
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 9: On offense, he was the MVP because he returned to
• 1:17:09
  Speaker 9: touchdowns in that game.
• 1:17:11
  Speaker 1: Okay, I was gonna say, if they had defensive guys
• 1:17:14
  Speaker 1: playing offense, it's like, well, the Pro Bowl has always
• 1:17:17
  Speaker 1: been messed up. Then all right, good stuff, Thanks day,
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 1: are we gotta roll? Appreciate that man. Good show where
• 1:17:25
  Speaker 1: we had eleven calls, and we talked draft like we
• 1:17:29
  Speaker 1: we definitely did. We talked draft, a little bit of
• 1:17:31
  Speaker 1: free agency. I mean we went from I mean we
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 1: talked what March madness, Nascar wordle uh. We got the
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 1: pig suie chin out there. The importance of the yetis
• 1:17:46
  Speaker 1: with the ice and keeping your your drink school. We
• 1:17:48
  Speaker 1: talked a little about everything, but we still stuck to
• 1:17:51
  Speaker 1: the to the plan talking about this draft, and really
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 1: the theme is is would you go offense at number twelve?
• 1:17:57
  Speaker 1: But we'll have a lot of chances to talk about
• 1:17:59
  Speaker 1: this will be back next week as well. Good stuff
• 1:18:03
  Speaker 1: for Chris be I'm Nick Eatman. We'll say next time
