Speaker 3 (02:51):
The Raiders have traded for Gino Smith, reuniting here with
Pete Carroll. The Vegas Raiders Las Vegas gave up a
twenty twenty five third round pick ninety two or off
for Smith. The deal is his six year skin in Seattle,
where he revived his career and became a two time
Pro Bowl selection. Smith has one year left on his
contract at thirty one million dollars. The Raiders are taking
(03:12):
on all thirty one million dollars of that is. It's
surprising that the Seahawks are blowing this thing all up,
o yo, considering they were ten and seven. Last year
Gino gone, DK gone, Tyler Lockett gone.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
What's going on with Joe hey By? Listen to again? Boy,
if I knew that answer, I'll tell you.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
You know, I don't understand what they're doing, especially based
off what they did last year they win ten and seven,
But I'm assuming front office GM ownership, they have a
feeling that they can find.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
Better production elsewhere.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
But I don't understand how you have to have You
have to have a veteran presence for one. You got
to have Sue a superstar. I know, obviously it's a
team game. It's not like basketball.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
You have a Luca and you know you have a
Lebron James, but boy, you need a quarterback.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
You're not getting nothing done without that. So the only
person left right now in Jackson Smith Jays. I'm just
say Jess because yeah, yeah, I stay butchered young bull
name and so you got JS. And I know he's
sitting there like that fresh friends mean with fresh with
Will Smith is sitting in the.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
Middle of the house in the house is empty. Yeah,
that's it.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
Throw the ball man, listen, and that's the most important part,
especially if you're serious about winning. If you're serious about winning,
especially coming off for ten to seven season, So listen,
hands might roll.
Speaker 3 (04:32):
Well, this was a this was a methodical process. This
happened in twenty thirteen. Wait, who when Seattle didn't give
that ball to beasts? Mold ah that into Seattle because
they started this man to like, oh, Joe, piece by peace,
(04:58):
Cam leaves, April leaves, ben At leaves every piece, Sharm leaves,
Earl leaves early boom, there's no more legion of boom.
Those receivers they start to, uh, what was the one
that what's eighty nine? What's his name?
Speaker 5 (05:18):
Ball?
Speaker 2 (05:19):
Dougall, Doug Bowling.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
He starts a lot of boom, and you see O
Joe systematically besmol gone, Russ gone, piece by piece.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
It's the nature here we are. It's the nature of
the venice.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
It's a slow leak and you never notice it until
all the water's gone. And that's exactly what they hit.
Now all the water is gone and you got one dude,
Well this is what y'all left.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
Oh and and remember they ended up let it be
wags go malcaelm Smith gone.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
Yeah, they did. Let Bobby go down to the canandas yeah,
mm hmm, that's crazy. So that was that was the
beginning of the end.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
I used to have a podcast, a podcast called Miles
and Off and I'll never forget.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
It, Oyo.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
I said it that that was the son that went.
I said, they'll never be the same. I said, it's over,
never gonna be saved. You were right, they're not gonna believe,
they're not gonna believe. They're not gonna believe. They're not
gonna trust Pete anymore. And Pete never had a tendency.
They threw the ball down there on one hundred percent
of the time. And that situation where three receivers on
the field, they didn't break tendency. To break tendency, yeah,
(06:40):
sometimes you have to scout yourself. I mean we would
always after every so often we take time to scout ourselves. Ojoe,
and this formation, we're eighty percent of this. We've got
to break tendencies. This formation we're ninety percent of this.
And this formation we throw the ball one hundred percent
of the time. We got to run it. Some guys,
you got this. Sometimes you have to scout yourself, and
(07:02):
you don't want to have to do it after something
catastrophic has happened. Yeah, probably they go back and look
at it. Man, that three receiver said, one man, we
throw the ball and you run that the moment, the
moment that slide receiver is pressed, you got an.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
Audible Yeah, I mean because.
Speaker 3 (07:26):
Because because he's not gonna be able to push up
field to make the corner of the outside guy bubble.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
He has to make him bubble.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
If he does make him bubble, oh Joe, he has
a straight line and he's gonna beat your guy to.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
The ball every time. If once you saw because normally
you see it.
Speaker 3 (07:46):
Because when you get a formation like that, one guy
needs to be off and one guy needs to be pressed.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
To make sure you don't get picked. Right.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
That's why if you notice a lot of times they're like, hey,
one of us got a press. One of us playoffs,
so we don't get picked. Well, if you go back
and look, Butler was off, Brandon Browner was in the slot.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
He pressed.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
Yep, I would have came up off of that so
fast and understanding what was Brandon brown the strength being
right up there?
Speaker 3 (08:20):
Yeah, first of all, you already in a tight alignment.
Where are you gonna go run into the tackle. He
knows that you got to push up. Yeah, because how
many times you think he saw that when he.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
Was in Seattle?
Speaker 3 (08:38):
Come maln So now slot half pressed, he doesn't get off.
Butler right there, doesn't have the bubble. Everything went well,
Kazo Joe more time than not. He know the guys
ain't catching that ball, Oh Joe, that's point blank.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
Think about it. Take about how close that was because
they're on the one.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
So let's just say if Russell take a three step drop,
so that's only six yards and Russell is firing the ball,
he's coming this way and the ball's coming that way,
and he catches it.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
He catches it. Yeah, that's crazy, it is.
Speaker 3 (09:29):
But Seattle, I hope y'all guys know what y'all doing
because that division.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
I don't think.
Speaker 3 (09:33):
I think it's all gonna be contingent on what happens
with a party. I'm sure they're gonna try to get
him done.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
The Rams look good.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
They got Davonte, now, they got Pookah, they got Kyri Williams.
Stafford is back. They got a defense. Defense is really
really good.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
And you know how difficult it is to go from
well Cooper Cup Cooper Cupp hasn't been released and hasn't
been traded yet.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
What happened if they keep Cup? But they can't with
that cap number right, with that number one? You know
how hard pay cut, You know how hard it is
to go from one route runner to another. That just
that just is good, if not better in bringing Davante
Adams in in the right type of system.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
Mm hmm, man, it's gonna beautiful over there.
Speaker 3 (10:22):
Davante Adams is headed to selling Southern California, inking a
two year deal with forty six million twenty three million.
He got twenty six million guaranteed. Adams arise in La
as the RAM prepared to part ways from former Triple
Crown winner Cooper Cup.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
Oh Joe, you like this move absolutely. The funny the
funny thing I talked. I talked about it earlier in
the show. You lose a Cooper Cup, one of the best.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
Route runners of all time, a triple crown not too
far removed from that triple crown, I might add, then
you get putting the coup comes out of nowhere. They
put him in the positions in which they used to
put Hooper Cup in and he's just that good.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
He's gleating, playing outside, playing outside, big fast. I mean
he's not blazing fast, but he's fast enough. And then okay,
now you're losing Cup and he able to go get
Devonte Adams. Have we seen Devonte Adams before? I'm not
not the one from New York jest not that well,
not the one with Las Vegas Raiders. But they didn't
use them the right way. But still get it done
because I saw flashes.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
Of brilliant and what we used to see him from
Devontae Adams when it was a Green Bay m h man,
he gonna be he might have a little resurgence, That's
what I like to call it. You got your money
so that there's no reason for them not to use
you offensively, putting you in the same positions that they
put Cooper Cup.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
You can run the same exact routes. You can get open.
You don't need help. One of the few receivers in
the NFL, I don't need mcvader's scheme me open, tell
me what you want me to do, and let me
show you watch me go do it. He's surgical with
them feet now, Oh yeah for sure. Oh yeah.
Speaker 3 (11:53):
If I like this matchup and he has a guy
that can get into football he can put he can
put them. He can put the football in places that's
gonna give you a chance to run. Because that's the difference,
is that a lot of guys can hit you, But
can you hit me with the ability to run, then
I don't have to break my stride pattern.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (12:12):
You look at what the way Joe throws a chase
chase catch the ball. He just just take off.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
He can do so much when he got the ball
in his hands. An throw a receiver, a five yard out,
a slant, a hit, and there's a chance that they
might go hit their head off the gold posts.
Speaker 3 (12:31):
Ye, man, stop playing. Yeah, and you look at him
like I said, we've talked about deceivers. You know you
got McDuffie and Kansas City. He coming up in a
couple of years, don't Joe. Yeah, got Stingley. They have
to see Stingley. Yeah, so I don't know if Sauce
has done anything. Maybe they go probably have to do
(12:52):
something with Sauce here shortly. Yeah, but Uh, I like
to move. I like uh take going to uh the
rape the rams.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
Yeah, I do.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
I like it a lot, especially to stray for the office.
The office is not gonna miss a beat.
Speaker 3 (13:05):
Oh Joe Warren, sap our boy spoke about the anonymous
NFL coaching, the coach talking about your door. Let's take
a list of what Sap had to say, and then
we come out a quarterback coach.
Speaker 5 (13:16):
He's not a decision maker, wants to make that call
about I call about No. I've been working for the
last forty eight hours to get his name. If I
get his name, Oh buddy, we're gonna do it. DP
five into his life, he gonna wish he never did.
If you're not a decision making shout out, and if
he didn't understand what it is to be the baby
(13:37):
of a family like that. He has all lucky and
shallows strengths and his sister and none of their weaknesses.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
Here's the day walker tell jud it for you.
Speaker 3 (13:51):
You ain't gonna find a more lord guide his south.
I've been doing Sath for a minute, and uh, any
time you call after the same I asked the phone
the same way, what the head you want, sap man,
I told, I told, I told such and such that
you was gonna say that.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
I said, yeah, I'll always go say that. But he's right.
Speaker 3 (14:10):
I mean, look, and it's always happened at some point
in time on you. There's gonna be somebody. I don't
like the way he tied his shoes. I don't like
the way he didn't hustle on this plate. I mean,
that's the whole job of the combine, the combine. Chance,
stay with me for just a second. The combine job
isn't to build you up, it's to break you down.
(14:31):
Is to tell you about all your flaws and why
you shouldn't go where you go. You're not fast enough,
he's not big enough the point of attack he gets
lost in.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
You know, his transition isn't good.
Speaker 3 (14:45):
He's not good with his eyes, he's not good with
his hands, or his arms are too short. You know
what I'm saying, O Joe, he don't play with a
low center of gravity. They telling you all the things.
The guy tell me what he can do? Damn it,
because I gotta take somebody. Yeah here, So what can
they do? You telling me everything that he can't do.
I need something to tell me what he can do
(15:07):
and then we can go from there.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
Yeah, and listen, the combine is a trip.
Speaker 5 (15:12):
I know.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
It's about you know, your measurables, your intangibles and all
those things, how fast, how far you could jump, how
far you can you know, do all these things? To
me unc that the combine really doesn't matter. I think
that's why some people choose not to do it, and
they wait till they do their pro date, because what
can you do when you turn on the film? That's
what I want to see. If I was, if I
(15:32):
was the GM, if I was the owner, let me
see your film. I don't care what you could do
with shorts, because the game of football at the highest
level is in shorts and a T shirt. It's just
not it's just not. Now, you know, watching when you're
watching you run and do drift. Yeah, that's all cute,
you know, that's cool. But in destructuring environment, yeah, something
to playing and being productive, you ain't running them drift
(15:54):
like that at all. Tell to some watermelon, I said,
now now, because daddy's working, Okay, But.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
That's the thing, though't yoah.
Speaker 3 (16:18):
But but but that's the thing I mean, I promise you, Chad.
I know y'all don't want to believe this, But the
greater the athlete, the more arrogant and the more confident
that that individual is, he believe its ish don't stay.
He believed he can walk on water, he believes he
can partner red seat. He believes he can he can
(16:40):
heal the sick. That's the mentality that you have to have.
Do you understand? Do you think a lot A lot
of times when it comes down to play it to individuals,
the talent is not that much different. It's the mindset
in which they display that talent.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
Only people understand that now.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
I think this is what people get confused to h
When you think about players that are elite, the first
thing you'll say, well, Tom Brady wasn't cocky.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
Tom Brady wasn't arrogant. Man.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
That's why on the outside, that's on the outside look at.
I wish people actually knew them, not the mags that
they put on when it's time to talk in front
of the.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
Camera about knew them. You feel me, man, there's a
reason why they're so great. There's a reason.
Speaker 3 (17:33):
Believe what when people talk about Michael Joan, what they
say that jn't compete and everything, he don't like the louse.
The great players, Bubby brif to beat John there Well
on his pool table, John Sow the pool table.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
That's what greats do.
Speaker 6 (17:58):
Man, telling you yoe, Hey John sold the pool Tavon Yep, No,
I mean that's that's what Tom said.
Speaker 3 (18:13):
Hey, y'all remember when what was it the Flaygate and
they had some messages and they leaked Tom messages. What
he say, I'm playing the best football in my life. Hey,
painting on his last legs. He about to be done.
That's it what you think Kobe thought? You thought Kobe
(18:34):
thought he would like the rest of the guys in
the NBA. You think Lebron James actually think he's like
the rest of the guys. You think Jordan Magic Bird.
Do you think the entrepreneurs? The actors? So you think
Denzelill think he's just like any other actor? Is that
what you think by all the dames thinking Meryl Street,
they just like anybody else?
Speaker 2 (18:54):
Stop it? Stop it.
Speaker 3 (18:57):
You think doctor Neil Latrogh, you think James Andrews Anderson,
you think they just that they think they're just like
any other orthopedic. Really, is that what y'all think?
Speaker 2 (19:08):
Y'all? Don't think that, y'all don't think that. It's a
mindset and you got to have it to be successful. Yes,
got to have it.
Speaker 3 (19:24):
And that's what when people and people. What's the I
don't know. I don't know what they I just know
them how they treat me. And most time athletes treat
the other athletes well, I mean, hey, hey, hey, such
and such, man, my mom is here. Can you can
you meet my mom? Can you meet my dad? Can
you meet my Okay? Sure, But you got to have that.
(19:45):
You got to have a belief that I'm a bad
most folk, I believe I'm the baddest.
Speaker 2 (19:55):
That's the mindset you have to have to be great.
Speaker 3 (19:59):
The the greater you are, the bigger your ego, the
greater you are, regardless of what you do. Let it
be sports, let it be entertainment. The greater you are,
the bigger the ego.
Speaker 2 (20:19):
Every time.
Speaker 3 (20:22):
So with that being said, and look, I want someone
they want what do you want the man to say?
He don't believe he's good. He don't believe he could
turn a franchise around. I mean, I'm trying I help
me understand. Look, Joe, what is he supposed to stay
that I don't believe. Yes, I went to I went
to Natubcu. Turned that program around. Look at them, we're
(20:45):
only we are eighty YSPN, We're on ESPN. If I'm
not mistaken. I think they might have had college game
be down there one day. Okay, I go to Colorado.
Remember what Colorado was before we got there?
Speaker 2 (20:56):
Around? Turned that around?
Speaker 3 (20:59):
So why shouldn't I believe I can't have that same
level of impact or influence on an NFL team.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
You got to have that kind of confidence. You got to.
Speaker 3 (21:11):
Who goes into something thinking, Man, I might fail. Well,
that's what's gonna happen. You already put that bull drive
in your head.
Speaker 2 (21:20):
Well most of the time. You know a lot of
people want you to be humble up that it makes
them uncomfortable.
Speaker 3 (21:26):
No, because you have fears. That don't mean that I
fear what you fear. Just because you are afraid to
be successful. You afraid to follow your dreams. You try
to poo pool on mind, you try to hold Oh
you think you better. No, you was good, but you
didn't think you were good enough. I think I'm good enough.
(21:46):
I don't need to be better. I just need to
be good enough.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
Not what.
Speaker 3 (21:53):
Now you mad at me? Cause I'm living out my dream.
I follow my passion. You didn't follow you let somebody
talk you, trick you out of your spot.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
Man, you can't do that. You can't go there, you
can't be this, and you believe them happens all.
Speaker 3 (22:10):
I listened to the one when people told me, Shannon,
I couldn't go to college, and if you go to college,
you can't go to the NFL. If you NFL, you're
just gonna be a guy. I listened to the one
person that when everybody's told me what I couldn't do,
I listened to the one person that told me what
I could do me because at the end of the day,
what you're telling me, So what impact are you gonna have?
(22:31):
Are you gonna catch passes? Are you gonna block? Are
you gonna run these routes? Are you gonna get in
front of this camera five times a week for nightcap,
first take? And come up? Are you gonna be able
to do all this?
Speaker 2 (22:45):
No? You're not. So why would I? Why if am
I listening to you? Man? Please?
Speaker 3 (22:54):
As a matter of fact, now that I think about it,
you're watching me. Why the hell would I listen to you?
You watch it? Those that can do those that can't,
talk about those that.
Speaker 1 (23:06):
Can't say were I like that one?
Speaker 2 (23:10):
I like that one. I ain't tell you nothing I
couldn't do did it.
Speaker 3 (23:20):
But I'm not gonna let you tell me just because
you didn't do just because you didn't follow your dreams,
you didn't follow what you wanted to do, and somebody
talked you out of that, Why would I ever listen
to you? Do you understand where I came from? Even
if I don't, Oh Joe, if I don't accomplish anything
else in my life, I am a huge success by
(23:43):
any stretch of the imagination.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
That's ibo. I don't accomplish anything else.
Speaker 3 (23:50):
If my if something unpreceived, God said, with Shulton, my
faithful servant, come on home. Ain't nobody tell Shannon Sharp
he wasn't a success. Can't nobody tell my family, you know.
Can't nobody tell my kids, my loved ones? Anybody. Can't
nobody tell that Shannon Shop wasn't because they saw where
(24:10):
Shernon came from and they saw where ended up. See
a lot of times people measure success about what you did.
You measured success by overcoming what you thought you couldn't do.
So every time, hey, it got hard, it was cold,
(24:34):
that's all right. My gird used to always tell no
matter what happened, and it was got bad at time,
my Grandma said, boy, it take all that to make
a man. Barniey Mayor Porter said, we raised men, don't
make no excuses. I'll make no excuse. I get it done,
get the job done, or I'm gonna do it the best.
(24:55):
I'm gonna give you everything if I couldn't, if I
didn't get done, you know, shall and put everything he
could into it. He just didn't get it done. But
I agree with Sap. I don't know why, but I
told Time this. I said Time, it ain't it's about you. See,
they couldn't find flault with you, so they take it
(25:17):
out on your son.
Speaker 2 (25:19):
You know what I'm saying, O Joe.
Speaker 3 (25:21):
Guys that were older than me, they couldn't bully my brother,
so they try to bully me. I ain't no easy win.
You ain't try to get no rep off me my brother. Hey,
you couldn't bully him that you're gonna try to bully
his brother. That's three years younger. I pick up something
and bust air at you. Hey, it is what it is.
Speaker 5 (25:42):
Man.
Speaker 2 (25:42):
You don't fight fair? What if a fight dump dump?
Speaker 3 (25:47):
A fight is not I don't know last time I
have you ever seen a street fight that was sation
if they got a governing body for street fights.
Speaker 2 (25:54):
No, hey, a brick or chair, get your hands on.
Speaker 1 (26:01):
And the funny thing about it, you know Prime has
should do it, Prime got should do it already ready
for this. Yes, he's been dealing with the whole life,
deal with his whole life because of who his father is.
Speaker 2 (26:12):
So I'm sure he's I know, it doesn't bother him.
He's gonna be all right, though.
Speaker 1 (26:17):
He's gonna be alright, And I hope he does exactly
what he said he's gonna do and stands on business
by the comments that he made.
Speaker 3 (26:23):
Oh not joining us fresh off a big, big contract.
Speaker 2 (26:28):
I'm gonna let me let me hold something, let me see.
Speaker 3 (26:33):
Oh digga zua? Did I pronounced that right? Oh sir olsa.
Speaker 2 (26:40):
Yep, had to be here having me No, thank you
for congratulations on the deal.
Speaker 3 (26:46):
You seemingly really came into your own this year, doing
a great job of attacking to run, put collapse in
the pocket, getting to the quarterback.
Speaker 2 (26:54):
What was different this year than in years pasted.
Speaker 7 (27:00):
I think is more experience, you know what I mean,
just just getting more reps and then more opportunity. This
is the most that I've ever played the most that
I've ever gotten a rushed passer. So I feel like
just having more looks at it, more chances at it,
it's just always going to allow me to be better,
you feel me. Because it's copycat league, You're getting the
(27:20):
same blocks over and over, so the game starts to
slow down a little bit. I can like start to
play the game within a game a little bit more.
Speaker 3 (27:29):
Wells, considering that you went up against for the last
three years, you went up against one of the greater
guards in NFL history, and Zach Martin, so a lot
I can imagine what those one on ones and that
nine O seven and that team setting was life because
it kind of prepared you and you had to feel,
man if I can get off a block against Zack Martin,
none of you other guys got a chance. Man, I
(27:51):
can beat him on a one on run pass rush.
You guys don't have a chance. Is that what you
were thinking?
Speaker 2 (27:56):
Bro? Literally?
Speaker 7 (27:57):
I mean, like you know, on Sunday, I know that
the best guys that I went against all week, he's
just right there to my left the way, So.
Speaker 2 (28:07):
I don't really have to worry about anybody else.
Speaker 7 (28:09):
Like I know that, and people ask me, like, who's
the best guy that you've ever gone against? I'm like,
that's a I go against him every day. So Zach
is a legend, So I got so much respect for him.
He's definitely definitely helped me sharpen all of my tools since.
Speaker 2 (28:26):
I've been in the league.
Speaker 1 (28:28):
Listen, what factors influenced your decision to commit to the
Cowboys long term?
Speaker 7 (28:38):
You know, I definitely love my team, Yeah, you feel me.
The routine and being in Dallas and everything that I
have out here is conducive to the what I got
going on. That's part of the reason why I'm in
this position to be able to get more money anyways.
Speaker 2 (28:57):
For sure, So I think that's just as valuable as
more money, you know.
Speaker 7 (29:03):
And I feel like with that being the case, and
trying to like chase more for the sake of more,
like you know what I mean, because it's like you
can always just try and get a little bit more,
just like trying and.
Speaker 2 (29:20):
And get like every dollar that you possibly, like, you
know what I mean.
Speaker 7 (29:25):
I just it was a very good deal, bro like,
and I was happy with it, Like it's life changing money.
Speaker 2 (29:32):
Like most definitely, most definitely I got to it like
Mom's good forever.
Speaker 3 (29:38):
Yeah, and you in Texas no state taxes at the
money that you might have gotten. Let's just say for
the sake of argument, you got an extra ten million
dollars over the life of the contract. Somewhere else You're
gonna say that in state taxes by not having state
taxes there. So for me, I'm looking at you, Ulsa,
is that what can I What can I do with eighty.
Speaker 2 (29:59):
Million, but I need to be able to do with
ninety million, That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 7 (30:03):
And that like, yeah, it was an opener closed any doors,
bro Like once you're already in the realm of life
changing generational wealth like right, Like you know what I mean,
It doesn't really move the needle for how for how
I'm gonna be living my life or what I can't do.
So I know I'm smart enough. I got good people
around me that are going to be able to help
me make more money on that off the field.
Speaker 2 (30:25):
Just I'm you feel me. We're set.
Speaker 1 (30:28):
Yeah, Hey, listen, when you get when you get a
contract of this magnitude, right, you already had personal goals
before you got it. You have team goals as a whole.
Now that you've gotten the contract. Have your personal goals changed?
Are they still the same?
Speaker 2 (30:45):
I mean, still chasing greatness, Brothers.
Speaker 7 (30:47):
Still thinks like I haven't reached the level that I
feel like I'm capable of back in terms of my play,
in terms of of being at the very top of
the league and and reaching that pinnacle.
Speaker 2 (31:01):
So in Super Bowl.
Speaker 7 (31:03):
Obviously, like team wise, like we haven't we haven't touched
any of those. So there's that's still all out there
to play for. Like now that the money is out
of the way, it's just all the things that you
love about football and the competitive aspect of it and
just trying to be great.
Speaker 2 (31:17):
Now.
Speaker 3 (31:19):
Now that happened, Oh that was the lass. What happened
this year a lot, bro, Like.
Speaker 7 (31:30):
I mean between injuries, like having having a new decordinator,
those growing paints at the beginning, just just a lot
of things happen, Bro throughout the course of the season,
a lot of things that nobody could really control. I
feel like the things that we could control as far
as like attitude and approach and just and just still competing.
Speaker 2 (31:51):
To the very end.
Speaker 7 (31:51):
I feel like we we did what we needed to
do there, and that's promising. Just the mentality of the team.
So I feel like that's something that we could build
off of, for sure.
Speaker 3 (32:01):
But you guys seem to struggle against the run the
last three to four years, OLSA, you guys have struggled
against the run. Why is it so difficult? And I
understand you guys want to play an attacking style defense.
When you had DQ he wants to attack, play, go
to the get to the quarterback, you play that attacking
style that forty three get to the quarterback. Same thing
with Zim. Why why do you think it's been so
(32:22):
difficult for you guys to stop the run.
Speaker 7 (32:31):
That's a tough one. There's a lot that goes into it,
you know what I mean? Like, I feel like just
being able to do just as good at the run
later in the game as like as we are in
the beginning of the game, because I feel like we
don't start out just you know what I mean like,
but against the run, I feel like, obviously we've got
games where we started slow, but I feel like, for
(32:52):
the most part, like we do a very good job
at the beginning of the game stopping the run. It's
just those later runs, like they break them eventually. So
I feel like just getting those down and just locking
in even more just to be able to to.
Speaker 2 (33:07):
Do a better job of stopping run a little bit
later in the game.
Speaker 1 (33:11):
Hey, when you think about it, listens as a football
enthusiast like myself. I like the Cowboys. I like the
players on the Cowboys. I like the Cowboys fans. Now
I don't like the way things are running Dallas. I'm
not going to say anything bad about your own or anything,
but I would like to ask you.
Speaker 2 (33:30):
Jerry Jones last year said he was going to be
all in.
Speaker 1 (33:33):
Is there anything that you would like to see ownership
do to improve the team to give you guys a
better chance at not only competing in the NFC, but
competing for Lombardi Trophy.
Speaker 2 (33:45):
Any additions you'd like. I know, an old lineman for sure.
Speaker 7 (33:54):
Okay, just we just lost Zach Martin, so definitely gonna
need to pick up an old line him, because you know,
that's a big part of our team. And I feel
like you've got to build from the front back right. Obviously,
more dtacles is really me and Mizi as of now,
So getting a little bit more depth behind us and
(34:17):
and adding to the D line room. Like I said,
building from the front back. That's gonna be very important.
I feel like that's just if you're if you're trying
to win football games, you gotta focus on that line.
Speaker 2 (34:28):
Right. You got your money, and now it's Michael.
Speaker 3 (34:34):
You see, Dak restructured his contract, CD LAMB restructured his
gave him all nearly forty million dollars bout thirty seven
million dollars in cap relief, so they got some money
to play with. Michael just saw what Max Crosby got
the most money for a non quarterback in NFL history.
I think Mike over there barbecue chicken piecel Hamburger.
Speaker 7 (34:58):
Oh yeah, bro, Like I didn't say that first because
I just felt like that was so obvious.
Speaker 2 (35:05):
It goes without saying, Bro, we got to.
Speaker 7 (35:09):
Bring Micah back, you know what I mean, nothing he's
going anywhere, but get that deal.
Speaker 2 (35:12):
Done so that that's just like a no brainer.
Speaker 7 (35:15):
Bruss goes without saying, gotta get gotta get eleven.
Speaker 2 (35:19):
Right, Yeah, they we can't.
Speaker 1 (35:22):
We can't wait until the end of training camp before
week one starts to get it done either.
Speaker 3 (35:29):
No. I think that's just that's probably probably number one
to be honest. Yeah, can I ask you a question.
Also when when Jerry is constantly in the headlines, he's
saying things like, do you like, come on, Jack, come on,
Jared stole us out man. Let let let him just
play with all the distractions and that you that you're
(35:50):
created k answer that.
Speaker 2 (35:54):
I don't hear it the distraction?
Speaker 3 (35:55):
Bro?
Speaker 2 (35:56):
Okay, you know what I mean?
Speaker 7 (35:58):
Like what what he says does effect what we do
out there on the field. Like I'm the one out
there on the field, bro, Like what that's not even
something that I really think about or let it distract me, bro,
because I know I'm in the driver's seat when I'm
on the field. So are the other ten guys out
there with me. So are the eleven guys on offense
(36:20):
in control of the situation.
Speaker 2 (36:21):
But you do how to?
Speaker 3 (36:23):
You do realize now when he says this team is
as talented as those ninety Super Bowls teams and you
guys go out there and stank it up.
Speaker 2 (36:33):
Not either he's either he's.
Speaker 3 (36:34):
Misguided or you guys are not nearly as talented as
he thinks.
Speaker 2 (36:38):
Now, it's only one of two choices. Right now. I'm
not gonna lie.
Speaker 7 (36:46):
I'm not gonna lie, but I wouldn't even say it's
an issue with talent. I'm just like, sometimes execution is
just what Obviously in the games that we didn't win,
executions just wasn't where it needed to be.
Speaker 2 (36:59):
I don't think question of talent at all. No, I
don't think so. So what is you mentioned? Team? Team success?
Speaker 3 (37:10):
Obviously, you want to get to an NFC championship game,
you want to get to the Super Bowl potentially win that.
Speaker 2 (37:15):
But individual pro, bo, all pro? What's next?
Speaker 3 (37:20):
What would you like to have when it's all said
and done, when we come back, we have a conversation
when we sit down with you, let's just say, for
the sake of argament, ten years from now and you're
hanging your cleats up, what do you want to be
on your resume?
Speaker 7 (37:32):
That's exactly what you just said, bro Pro, Bowl, all Pro.
These are the things that I look at, And that's
exactly what I mean when I say there's still a
lot out there for me to play for and a
lot of things that I haven't accomplished yet.
Speaker 2 (37:48):
Oh Joe, you've gotten paid. I'm thinking about the time.
Speaker 1 (37:56):
My goals that that set once that gotten paid, right,
all pro? Obviously, at some point I would love to
reach a super Bowl. I wasn't able to do that.
Speaker 2 (38:09):
You didn't go to the super Bowl.
Speaker 1 (38:11):
No, I'm talking about when I was in Cincinnati. Oh yeah, yeah,
come on, that's don't be disrespectful.
Speaker 2 (38:17):
Don't talking about the Bengals.
Speaker 1 (38:19):
Don't talk about the Bengals from a team from a
team standpoint, obviously speaking defensively, what do you think you
guys need to do better to start the season off right,
to get that identity back for you guys to get
back into and I don't want to say contention not
the right word, back into the good graces of just
(38:41):
being a good defense in general, being that it's been bad,
I mean, I don't, I mean no disrespect, being that
it hasn't been up to par.
Speaker 2 (38:48):
I'll say it like that. What do you guys need
to do? We gotta shut people down, bro right, Just
just the run, just the run. That's it. I'm done.
Speaker 7 (39:00):
Like we can if we force people to throw the ball,
you know what I mean, Like we've we can.
Speaker 2 (39:06):
We can pass rush with the best of them, bro.
Speaker 7 (39:09):
So definitely getting that run stop is and and forcing
them into those storing situations which they don't want to
be in, which has always been something that was obvious
since I've been a rookie. It's like that's the last
thing that teams want to do when they're coming to
play the Cowboys. This right, we don't want to throw
the ball, so we got to force them to throw
the ball and play our game, you know.
Speaker 2 (39:33):
Mm hmm.
Speaker 3 (39:34):
Cowboys defensive lineman Osa A Diggi Zua recently signed Big
Luke at the contract. He has his money. Now, now
he really gets the focus and become the player that
he dreamed he could become Pro bowler on All Pro
and hopefully get the team to the Super Bowl. Also,
thank you for joining us. Congratulations on the contract. Stay
(39:56):
healthy and we are we're checking with you're down the.
Speaker 2 (39:58):
Road, sir.
Speaker 3 (39:59):
Thank you all right, Thanks for John forget these McDonald's.
Speaker 2 (40:10):
Oh Joe, we got some breaking news tonight. What happened?
It just happened.
Speaker 3 (40:14):
Had the Chargers have released five time Pro bowler Joey Bosa.
Releasing Bosa saved the cap, saved the Chargers twenty five
point three six million dollars against that cap.
Speaker 2 (40:28):
Do you think you pick him up?
Speaker 1 (40:31):
If Joey Bosa is going and this is the perfect,
perfect opportunity. Now, you can't command that much money, right,
he just got released. Trey Henderson's is doing a huge deal.
I'm not sure if the Bengals are gonna be able
to pay him. What about Joey Bosa coming to Cincinnati?
Speaker 2 (40:47):
What do you think, Hunk?
Speaker 3 (40:48):
Yeah, but he's still gonna want he gonna want big
He go still want big money.
Speaker 2 (40:52):
Oh joe Wait, wait a minute now, Joey, listen, you
can't be commanding that kind of money when you haven't
been form and the way you should. They just releash
you for a reason. Yeah, with injured, I mean he's
been He's been nigged a lot. Nick, He's been injured.
So you can't come in there and talk about, Oh,
I want the bag. I'm talking about the bag bag.
(41:13):
You've already he's already, he's already gotten the bag bag.
Speaker 3 (41:15):
No, he's not gonna command Max Crosby money. No, but
he gonna want He's gonna want big money. He's gonna
want big money. O Joe Henna twenty million.
Speaker 2 (41:23):
Listen, we're gonna give him a little something. We ain't
gonna do him dirty. We're gonna give me a little something.
We need to upgrade our defense. This is the perfect
time to do so.
Speaker 1 (41:31):
Now, Trey Hendrickson is going to be able to command
much more than what Joey Vosha would get.
Speaker 2 (41:37):
So I understand that. I just huh, he's gonna want
that Max Crosby money.
Speaker 1 (41:45):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, That's that's why I said, I'm
not sure we will be able to retain brother brother Henderson,
you know, allow him to be blessed you know elsewhere.
You know, bring Max Crosby in. I mean, bring Max
crock in, Bring Joey Vosa in and see what we
could do. What'd you think?
Speaker 7 (42:01):
No?
Speaker 3 (42:05):
Uh, hold on, Look, the Chargers are trying to kill
their cap space. The thing is, this is twenty five
million dollars for a guy that's over the last several years.
Oh joe it's been nicked. He's spent more time off
(42:26):
the field than on the field. That's a lot of money.
If Joey Bosa was playing, you know, fifteen sixteen games
a season, we're still giving you that production when they
gave him that big money, right, twenty five I mean
twenty five million dollars cap here for a guy that's
given you twelve thirteen sacks is gravy, yes, sir, but
(42:47):
it's because of the injuries.
Speaker 2 (42:50):
And you know I'm looking at him.
Speaker 3 (42:53):
I mean they're gonna property them, probably gonna go out
and try to Khalil Macketts interested what they're gonna do
with Mac Yeah, because they probably want to get extended.
They can't get rid of everybody, you probably, uh huh.
They can't get rid of everybody now.
Speaker 2 (43:10):
No, no, no, no, no. Two premiere in You got
two premiere in is now you let one go? Now,
you can't let the other one go.
Speaker 3 (43:17):
You got well, you got Derwin James that's making a
lot of money on the back end. Yeah, you got
Khalil that's making good money. But he's gonna probably want
to get extended.
Speaker 2 (43:28):
Again.
Speaker 3 (43:30):
No, I mean you got to realize on Joe that
contracted if he got what one year left on his
contract as what's the Khalil max situation? I think I
think you have has like one year Oh Joe okay,
bank but you know O Joe coaches players. Nobody wants
to go into that last year deal that's lamed up. Yeah,
(43:55):
cause bro, what if you do you believe me me
or you don't. It's really there especially because I've been
in this league. I've been Defensive Player of the Year. Y'all,
y'all know what I do. You believe in me?
Speaker 2 (44:06):
Right, are you?
Speaker 3 (44:07):
And if I'm not mistaken, I think Mac Mac went
to the Pro Bowl last year. So he's like, uh,
clearly the coaches and the players and the fans think
I'm still playing at an elite level.
Speaker 2 (44:18):
Yeah, he's a free agent. Yeah. Three, yeah, so they.
Speaker 1 (44:23):
Man, listen, I'm I'm Mac Mac.
Speaker 2 (44:27):
Come on to Cincinnati. Two.
Speaker 1 (44:32):
Oh boy, hey, listen, I don't like what's going on. Man,
Tyler Lockett. You know, Tyler Lockett probably gonna Tyler Lockett
probably gonna end up going out there with Pete Carroll.
Speaker 2 (44:44):
Yeah, they're a good chance. Ye he drafted. Yeah, they
familiar with each other. They know each other.
Speaker 1 (44:49):
Yeah, Devontae Adams h Now, Jerry Jones, Jerry Jones, I
know you're gonna see this because somebody gonna send it
to you now. DK mcaff has been has been granted
permission to seek a trade.
Speaker 2 (45:05):
Jerry Jones. If you really all in, if you want
the fans.
Speaker 3 (45:08):
North of thirty million, he won't thirty He won't in
that thirty million range. You're not gonna have two receivers
making thirty milliona and and a quarterback making that kind
of money and you got to sign Michael where the
money coming from?
Speaker 2 (45:19):
With you? Can I ask your question? Do you hear
what you just said? Right? Yes?
Speaker 1 (45:23):
You're everything he just said. So I know I have
a lot of fans that are from Cincinnati in this chat.
And based on what you just said, why do we
still believe we'll be able to keep a thirty million
dollar receiver, a forty million dollar receiver and a fifty
million dollars quarterback based off.
Speaker 2 (45:41):
What you a thirty million dollar defensive end that I
don't know.
Speaker 1 (45:56):
Yeah, it's tough. I wouldn't want to be a GM.
I wouldn't want to be an owner because I'm gonna
act like the Yankees. I'm spending everything. Whatever penalty, listen,
whatever penalty I get for being over the cap.
Speaker 2 (46:12):
I take it because I'm signing everybody.
Speaker 3 (46:15):
Dyler Lockett was released by the Seahawks today and DK
metcaffrey requested a trade. The request came today after a
series of conversations over the past two weeks. DK for
further contender DK's in the last year of his contract,
DK Sewood. The receiver market is edding. Hey, bro, what
y'all got for me? I told you, I know what. Yeah, okay,
(46:35):
can I get traded? I told you what he needed
to do. I'll see what y'all did with Tyler Lockett.
I told you what they need to do. Jerry Jones
needs to be all in hunk.
Speaker 1 (46:47):
They got to be able to compete with the rest
of the NFCU DeVonta Smith, AJ Brown, Deebo Samuels, Terry McLaurin.
They only Brown, CD, lamb by yourself. Make a splash, Jerry,
make a splash. Show the fans of Dallas that you're serious.
(47:11):
Davante Adams is available. If you don't want to pay
nor to thirty for DK, bring somebody in there. Take
some of the pressure off of that. Take some of
the pressure off of CD. Show them you're serious.
Speaker 2 (47:25):
You know what I'm gonna show my team. I'm gonna
show the players here that I'm serious about winning, and
I'm gonna do something that's out of character. I'm gonna
go pay for some upgrades to the offense.
Speaker 3 (47:40):
If I don't think anything is roll in my house,
why would I upgrade it?
Speaker 1 (47:44):
Listen, Davante Adams is right there, Jerry Davante Adams is
what part about it?
Speaker 3 (47:51):
I don't think anything is wrong with my house, so
I don't need to have it.
Speaker 2 (47:56):
It's something hervish. It's something wrong with it because it's
been leaking for thirty years. Is something wrong with it.
Speaker 3 (48:03):
That's what I got fots and pants for. I catch
the rain water. Ain't very nony, Oh Joe. The Texans
plan on letting Stefan Diggs test Pree agency and Davante
Adams was cut by the Jets. Sheeta tweeted about the
recent receiver moving around the NFL, everyone trying to get out.
(48:26):
Why do you think there's so much movement with receivers currently,
Oh Joe?
Speaker 2 (48:31):
I mean, I mean you think of that. You think
of the receivers that are moving.
Speaker 1 (48:36):
Most of them are the veterans, those that are you know,
up in age a little bit, trying to get out
of the back end of those contracts. They obviously, you know,
they're not gonna lib me to hit the back end
of the contracts. Uh cap hits obviously DK wanting to
be paid, They're like, nah, we're not doing that, which
is why they allowed them to seek a trade Devonte
(48:58):
Adams money.
Speaker 2 (49:00):
There's no way that just we're paying the remaining of
whatever the next year's you know salary was.
Speaker 1 (49:05):
Let me see, uh, Stefan Diggs coming off of coming
off of injury, he was only on the one year.
Speaker 2 (49:10):
At to begin with, yeah on ACL.
Speaker 1 (49:12):
So hopefully he gets the opportunity to get back uh
healthy and.
Speaker 2 (49:19):
Find somewhere where he can contribute. And those are the reasons.
Speaker 3 (49:24):
And Brandon, I you the forty nine of us are
is being reported yea that they're willing to listen to
trade for Brandon Nuk.
Speaker 2 (49:32):
So he's another receiver that might be on the move.
Speaker 1 (49:35):
And you have to understand why they're doing that. Brandon
Ayuk actually also coming off what.
Speaker 2 (49:40):
Kind of injury on if I'm not mistaken, Huh what
happened on Joe? What kind of injuries are you coming
off of? A yeah?
Speaker 1 (49:52):
See, you know, you know how they treat you, what
you said, especially as a receiver at a skill position.
Speaker 2 (49:58):
You know how they treat you. If you're coming off
a KID or a c L. You know they feel
you're not gonna be the same.

The Raiders have traded for Gino Smith, reuniting here with
Pete Carroll. The Vegas Raiders Las Vegas gave up a
twenty twenty five third round pick ninety two or off
for Smith. The deal is his six year skin in Seattle,
where he revived his career and became a two time
Pro Bowl selection. Smith has one year left on his
contract at thirty one million dollars. The Raiders are taking
(03:12):
on all thirty one million dollars of that is. It's
surprising that the Seahawks are blowing this thing all up,
o yo, considering they were ten and seven. Last year
Gino gone, DK gone, Tyler Lockett gone.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
What's going on with Joe hey By? Listen to again? Boy,
if I knew that answer, I'll tell you.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
You know, I don't understand what they're doing, especially based
off what they did last year they win ten and seven,
But I'm assuming front office GM ownership, they have a
feeling that they can find.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
Better production elsewhere.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
But I don't understand how you have to have You
have to have a veteran presence for one. You got
to have Sue a superstar. I know, obviously it's a
team game. It's not like basketball.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
You have a Luca and you know you have a
Lebron James, but boy, you need a quarterback.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
You're not getting nothing done without that. So the only
person left right now in Jackson Smith Jays. I'm just
say Jess because yeah, yeah, I stay butchered young bull
name and so you got JS. And I know he's
sitting there like that fresh friends mean with fresh with
Will Smith is sitting in the.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
Middle of the house in the house is empty. Yeah,
that's it.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
Throw the ball man, listen, and that's the most important part,
especially if you're serious about winning. If you're serious about winning,
especially coming off for ten to seven season, So listen,
hands might roll.
Speaker 3 (04:32):
Well, this was a this was a methodical process. This
happened in twenty thirteen. Wait, who when Seattle didn't give
that ball to beasts? Mold ah that into Seattle because
they started this man to like, oh, Joe, piece by peace,
(04:58):
Cam leaves, April leaves, ben At leaves every piece, Sharm leaves,
Earl leaves early boom, there's no more legion of boom.
Those receivers they start to, uh, what was the one
that what's eighty nine? What's his name?
Speaker 5 (05:18):
Ball?
Speaker 2 (05:19):
Dougall, Doug Bowling.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
He starts a lot of boom, and you see O
Joe systematically besmol gone, Russ gone, piece by piece.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
It's the nature here we are. It's the nature of
the venice.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
It's a slow leak and you never notice it until
all the water's gone. And that's exactly what they hit.
Now all the water is gone and you got one dude,
Well this is what y'all left.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
Oh and and remember they ended up let it be
wags go malcaelm Smith gone.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
Yeah, they did. Let Bobby go down to the canandas yeah,
mm hmm, that's crazy. So that was that was the
beginning of the end.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
I used to have a podcast, a podcast called Miles
and Off and I'll never forget.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
It, Oyo.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
I said it that that was the son that went.
I said, they'll never be the same. I said, it's over,
never gonna be saved. You were right, they're not gonna believe,
they're not gonna believe. They're not gonna believe. They're not
gonna trust Pete anymore. And Pete never had a tendency.
They threw the ball down there on one hundred percent
of the time. And that situation where three receivers on
the field, they didn't break tendency. To break tendency, yeah,
(06:40):
sometimes you have to scout yourself. I mean we would
always after every so often we take time to scout ourselves. Ojoe,
and this formation, we're eighty percent of this. We've got
to break tendencies. This formation we're ninety percent of this.
And this formation we throw the ball one hundred percent
of the time. We got to run it. Some guys,
you got this. Sometimes you have to scout yourself, and
(07:02):
you don't want to have to do it after something
catastrophic has happened. Yeah, probably they go back and look
at it. Man, that three receiver said, one man, we
throw the ball and you run that the moment, the
moment that slide receiver is pressed, you got an.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
Audible Yeah, I mean because.
Speaker 3 (07:26):
Because because he's not gonna be able to push up
field to make the corner of the outside guy bubble.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
He has to make him bubble.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
If he does make him bubble, oh Joe, he has
a straight line and he's gonna beat your guy to.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
The ball every time. If once you saw because normally
you see it.
Speaker 3 (07:46):
Because when you get a formation like that, one guy
needs to be off and one guy needs to be pressed.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
To make sure you don't get picked. Right.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
That's why if you notice a lot of times they're like, hey,
one of us got a press. One of us playoffs,
so we don't get picked. Well, if you go back
and look, Butler was off, Brandon Browner was in the slot.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
He pressed.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
Yep, I would have came up off of that so
fast and understanding what was Brandon brown the strength being
right up there?
Speaker 3 (08:20):
Yeah, first of all, you already in a tight alignment.
Where are you gonna go run into the tackle. He
knows that you got to push up. Yeah, because how
many times you think he saw that when he.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
Was in Seattle?
Speaker 3 (08:38):
Come maln So now slot half pressed, he doesn't get off.
Butler right there, doesn't have the bubble. Everything went well,
Kazo Joe more time than not. He know the guys
ain't catching that ball, Oh Joe, that's point blank.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
Think about it. Take about how close that was because
they're on the one.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
So let's just say if Russell take a three step drop,
so that's only six yards and Russell is firing the ball,
he's coming this way and the ball's coming that way,
and he catches it.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
He catches it. Yeah, that's crazy, it is.
Speaker 3 (09:29):
But Seattle, I hope y'all guys know what y'all doing
because that division.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
I don't think.
Speaker 3 (09:33):
I think it's all gonna be contingent on what happens
with a party. I'm sure they're gonna try to get
him done.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
The Rams look good.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
They got Davonte, now, they got Pookah, they got Kyri Williams.
Stafford is back. They got a defense. Defense is really
really good.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
And you know how difficult it is to go from
well Cooper Cup Cooper Cupp hasn't been released and hasn't
been traded yet.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
What happened if they keep Cup? But they can't with
that cap number right, with that number one? You know
how hard pay cut, You know how hard it is
to go from one route runner to another. That just
that just is good, if not better in bringing Davante
Adams in in the right type of system.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
Mm hmm, man, it's gonna beautiful over there.
Speaker 3 (10:22):
Davante Adams is headed to selling Southern California, inking a
two year deal with forty six million twenty three million.
He got twenty six million guaranteed. Adams arise in La
as the RAM prepared to part ways from former Triple
Crown winner Cooper Cup.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
Oh Joe, you like this move absolutely. The funny the
funny thing I talked. I talked about it earlier in
the show. You lose a Cooper Cup, one of the best.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
Route runners of all time, a triple crown not too
far removed from that triple crown, I might add, then
you get putting the coup comes out of nowhere. They
put him in the positions in which they used to
put Hooper Cup in and he's just that good.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
He's gleating, playing outside, playing outside, big fast. I mean
he's not blazing fast, but he's fast enough. And then okay,
now you're losing Cup and he able to go get
Devonte Adams. Have we seen Devonte Adams before? I'm not
not the one from New York jest not that well,
not the one with Las Vegas Raiders. But they didn't
use them the right way. But still get it done
because I saw flashes.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
Of brilliant and what we used to see him from
Devontae Adams when it was a Green Bay m h man,
he gonna be he might have a little resurgence, That's
what I like to call it. You got your money
so that there's no reason for them not to use
you offensively, putting you in the same positions that they
put Cooper Cup.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
You can run the same exact routes. You can get open.
You don't need help. One of the few receivers in
the NFL, I don't need mcvader's scheme me open, tell
me what you want me to do, and let me
show you watch me go do it. He's surgical with
them feet now, Oh yeah for sure. Oh yeah.
Speaker 3 (11:53):
If I like this matchup and he has a guy
that can get into football he can put he can
put them. He can put the football in places that's
gonna give you a chance to run. Because that's the difference,
is that a lot of guys can hit you, But
can you hit me with the ability to run, then
I don't have to break my stride pattern.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (12:12):
You look at what the way Joe throws a chase
chase catch the ball. He just just take off.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
He can do so much when he got the ball
in his hands. An throw a receiver, a five yard out,
a slant, a hit, and there's a chance that they
might go hit their head off the gold posts.
Speaker 3 (12:31):
Ye, man, stop playing. Yeah, and you look at him
like I said, we've talked about deceivers. You know you
got McDuffie and Kansas City. He coming up in a
couple of years, don't Joe. Yeah, got Stingley. They have
to see Stingley. Yeah, so I don't know if Sauce
has done anything. Maybe they go probably have to do
(12:52):
something with Sauce here shortly. Yeah, but Uh, I like
to move. I like uh take going to uh the
rape the rams.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
Yeah, I do.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
I like it a lot, especially to stray for the office.
The office is not gonna miss a beat.
Speaker 3 (13:05):
Oh Joe Warren, sap our boy spoke about the anonymous
NFL coaching, the coach talking about your door. Let's take
a list of what Sap had to say, and then
we come out a quarterback coach.
Speaker 5 (13:16):
He's not a decision maker, wants to make that call
about I call about No. I've been working for the
last forty eight hours to get his name. If I
get his name, Oh buddy, we're gonna do it. DP
five into his life, he gonna wish he never did.
If you're not a decision making shout out, and if
he didn't understand what it is to be the baby
(13:37):
of a family like that. He has all lucky and
shallows strengths and his sister and none of their weaknesses.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
Here's the day walker tell jud it for you.
Speaker 3 (13:51):
You ain't gonna find a more lord guide his south.
I've been doing Sath for a minute, and uh, any
time you call after the same I asked the phone
the same way, what the head you want, sap man,
I told, I told, I told such and such that
you was gonna say that.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
I said, yeah, I'll always go say that. But he's right.
Speaker 3 (14:10):
I mean, look, and it's always happened at some point
in time on you. There's gonna be somebody. I don't
like the way he tied his shoes. I don't like
the way he didn't hustle on this plate. I mean,
that's the whole job of the combine, the combine. Chance,
stay with me for just a second. The combine job
isn't to build you up, it's to break you down.
(14:31):
Is to tell you about all your flaws and why
you shouldn't go where you go. You're not fast enough,
he's not big enough the point of attack he gets
lost in.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
You know, his transition isn't good.
Speaker 3 (14:45):
He's not good with his eyes, he's not good with
his hands, or his arms are too short. You know
what I'm saying, O Joe, he don't play with a
low center of gravity. They telling you all the things.
The guy tell me what he can do? Damn it,
because I gotta take somebody. Yeah here, So what can
they do? You telling me everything that he can't do.
I need something to tell me what he can do
(15:07):
and then we can go from there.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
Yeah, and listen, the combine is a trip.
Speaker 5 (15:12):
I know.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
It's about you know, your measurables, your intangibles and all
those things, how fast, how far you could jump, how
far you can you know, do all these things? To
me unc that the combine really doesn't matter. I think
that's why some people choose not to do it, and
they wait till they do their pro date, because what
can you do when you turn on the film? That's
what I want to see. If I was, if I
(15:32):
was the GM, if I was the owner, let me
see your film. I don't care what you could do
with shorts, because the game of football at the highest
level is in shorts and a T shirt. It's just
not it's just not. Now, you know, watching when you're
watching you run and do drift. Yeah, that's all cute,
you know, that's cool. But in destructuring environment, yeah, something
to playing and being productive, you ain't running them drift
(15:54):
like that at all. Tell to some watermelon, I said,
now now, because daddy's working, Okay, But.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
That's the thing, though't yoah.
Speaker 3 (16:18):
But but but that's the thing I mean, I promise you, Chad.
I know y'all don't want to believe this, But the
greater the athlete, the more arrogant and the more confident
that that individual is, he believe its ish don't stay.
He believed he can walk on water, he believes he
can partner red seat. He believes he can he can
(16:40):
heal the sick. That's the mentality that you have to have.
Do you understand? Do you think a lot A lot
of times when it comes down to play it to individuals,
the talent is not that much different. It's the mindset
in which they display that talent.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
Only people understand that now.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
I think this is what people get confused to h
When you think about players that are elite, the first
thing you'll say, well, Tom Brady wasn't cocky.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
Tom Brady wasn't arrogant. Man.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
That's why on the outside, that's on the outside look at.
I wish people actually knew them, not the mags that
they put on when it's time to talk in front
of the.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
Camera about knew them. You feel me, man, there's a
reason why they're so great. There's a reason.
Speaker 3 (17:33):
Believe what when people talk about Michael Joan, what they
say that jn't compete and everything, he don't like the louse.
The great players, Bubby brif to beat John there Well
on his pool table, John Sow the pool table.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
That's what greats do.
Speaker 6 (17:58):
Man, telling you yoe, Hey John sold the pool Tavon Yep, No,
I mean that's that's what Tom said.
Speaker 3 (18:13):
Hey, y'all remember when what was it the Flaygate and
they had some messages and they leaked Tom messages. What
he say, I'm playing the best football in my life. Hey,
painting on his last legs. He about to be done.
That's it what you think Kobe thought? You thought Kobe
(18:34):
thought he would like the rest of the guys in
the NBA. You think Lebron James actually think he's like
the rest of the guys. You think Jordan Magic Bird.
Do you think the entrepreneurs? The actors? So you think
Denzelill think he's just like any other actor? Is that
what you think by all the dames thinking Meryl Street,
they just like anybody else?
Speaker 2 (18:54):
Stop it? Stop it.
Speaker 3 (18:57):
You think doctor Neil Latrogh, you think James Andrews Anderson,
you think they just that they think they're just like
any other orthopedic. Really, is that what y'all think?
Speaker 2 (19:08):
Y'all? Don't think that, y'all don't think that. It's a
mindset and you got to have it to be successful. Yes,
got to have it.
Speaker 3 (19:24):
And that's what when people and people. What's the I
don't know. I don't know what they I just know
them how they treat me. And most time athletes treat
the other athletes well, I mean, hey, hey, hey, such
and such, man, my mom is here. Can you can
you meet my mom? Can you meet my dad? Can
you meet my Okay? Sure, But you got to have that.
(19:45):
You got to have a belief that I'm a bad
most folk, I believe I'm the baddest.
Speaker 2 (19:55):
That's the mindset you have to have to be great.
Speaker 3 (19:59):
The the greater you are, the bigger your ego, the
greater you are, regardless of what you do. Let it
be sports, let it be entertainment. The greater you are,
the bigger the ego.
Speaker 2 (20:19):
Every time.
Speaker 3 (20:22):
So with that being said, and look, I want someone
they want what do you want the man to say?
He don't believe he's good. He don't believe he could
turn a franchise around. I mean, I'm trying I help
me understand. Look, Joe, what is he supposed to stay
that I don't believe. Yes, I went to I went
to Natubcu. Turned that program around. Look at them, we're
(20:45):
only we are eighty YSPN, We're on ESPN. If I'm
not mistaken. I think they might have had college game
be down there one day. Okay, I go to Colorado.
Remember what Colorado was before we got there?
Speaker 2 (20:56):
Around? Turned that around?
Speaker 3 (20:59):
So why shouldn't I believe I can't have that same
level of impact or influence on an NFL team.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
You got to have that kind of confidence. You got to.
Speaker 3 (21:11):
Who goes into something thinking, Man, I might fail. Well,
that's what's gonna happen. You already put that bull drive
in your head.
Speaker 2 (21:20):
Well most of the time. You know a lot of
people want you to be humble up that it makes
them uncomfortable.
Speaker 3 (21:26):
No, because you have fears. That don't mean that I
fear what you fear. Just because you are afraid to
be successful. You afraid to follow your dreams. You try
to poo pool on mind, you try to hold Oh
you think you better. No, you was good, but you
didn't think you were good enough. I think I'm good enough.
(21:46):
I don't need to be better. I just need to
be good enough.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
Not what.
Speaker 3 (21:53):
Now you mad at me? Cause I'm living out my dream.
I follow my passion. You didn't follow you let somebody
talk you, trick you out of your spot.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
Man, you can't do that. You can't go there, you
can't be this, and you believe them happens all.
Speaker 3 (22:10):
I listened to the one when people told me, Shannon,
I couldn't go to college, and if you go to college,
you can't go to the NFL. If you NFL, you're
just gonna be a guy. I listened to the one
person that when everybody's told me what I couldn't do,
I listened to the one person that told me what
I could do me because at the end of the day,
what you're telling me, So what impact are you gonna have?
(22:31):
Are you gonna catch passes? Are you gonna block? Are
you gonna run these routes? Are you gonna get in
front of this camera five times a week for nightcap,
first take? And come up? Are you gonna be able
to do all this?
Speaker 2 (22:45):
No? You're not. So why would I? Why if am
I listening to you? Man? Please?
Speaker 3 (22:54):
As a matter of fact, now that I think about it,
you're watching me. Why the hell would I listen to you?
You watch it? Those that can do those that can't,
talk about those that.
Speaker 1 (23:06):
Can't say were I like that one?
Speaker 2 (23:10):
I like that one. I ain't tell you nothing I
couldn't do did it.
Speaker 3 (23:20):
But I'm not gonna let you tell me just because
you didn't do just because you didn't follow your dreams,
you didn't follow what you wanted to do, and somebody
talked you out of that, Why would I ever listen
to you? Do you understand where I came from? Even
if I don't, Oh Joe, if I don't accomplish anything
else in my life, I am a huge success by
(23:43):
any stretch of the imagination.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
That's ibo. I don't accomplish anything else.
Speaker 3 (23:50):
If my if something unpreceived, God said, with Shulton, my
faithful servant, come on home. Ain't nobody tell Shannon Sharp
he wasn't a success. Can't nobody tell my family, you know.
Can't nobody tell my kids, my loved ones? Anybody. Can't
nobody tell that Shannon Shop wasn't because they saw where
(24:10):
Shernon came from and they saw where ended up. See
a lot of times people measure success about what you did.
You measured success by overcoming what you thought you couldn't do.
So every time, hey, it got hard, it was cold,
(24:34):
that's all right. My gird used to always tell no
matter what happened, and it was got bad at time,
my Grandma said, boy, it take all that to make
a man. Barniey Mayor Porter said, we raised men, don't
make no excuses. I'll make no excuse. I get it done,
get the job done, or I'm gonna do it the best.
(24:55):
I'm gonna give you everything if I couldn't, if I
didn't get done, you know, shall and put everything he
could into it. He just didn't get it done. But
I agree with Sap. I don't know why, but I
told Time this. I said Time, it ain't it's about you. See,
they couldn't find flault with you, so they take it
(25:17):
out on your son.
Speaker 2 (25:19):
You know what I'm saying, O Joe.
Speaker 3 (25:21):
Guys that were older than me, they couldn't bully my brother,
so they try to bully me. I ain't no easy win.
You ain't try to get no rep off me my brother. Hey,
you couldn't bully him that you're gonna try to bully
his brother. That's three years younger. I pick up something
and bust air at you. Hey, it is what it is.
Speaker 5 (25:42):
Man.
Speaker 2 (25:42):
You don't fight fair? What if a fight dump dump?
Speaker 3 (25:47):
A fight is not I don't know last time I
have you ever seen a street fight that was sation
if they got a governing body for street fights.
Speaker 2 (25:54):
No, hey, a brick or chair, get your hands on.
Speaker 1 (26:01):
And the funny thing about it, you know Prime has
should do it, Prime got should do it already ready
for this. Yes, he's been dealing with the whole life,
deal with his whole life because of who his father is.
Speaker 2 (26:12):
So I'm sure he's I know, it doesn't bother him.
He's gonna be all right, though.
Speaker 1 (26:17):
He's gonna be alright, And I hope he does exactly
what he said he's gonna do and stands on business
by the comments that he made.
Speaker 3 (26:23):
Oh not joining us fresh off a big, big contract.
Speaker 2 (26:28):
I'm gonna let me let me hold something, let me see.
Speaker 3 (26:33):
Oh digga zua? Did I pronounced that right? Oh sir olsa.
Speaker 2 (26:40):
Yep, had to be here having me No, thank you
for congratulations on the deal.
Speaker 3 (26:46):
You seemingly really came into your own this year, doing
a great job of attacking to run, put collapse in
the pocket, getting to the quarterback.
Speaker 2 (26:54):
What was different this year than in years pasted.
Speaker 7 (27:00):
I think is more experience, you know what I mean,
just just getting more reps and then more opportunity. This
is the most that I've ever played the most that
I've ever gotten a rushed passer. So I feel like
just having more looks at it, more chances at it,
it's just always going to allow me to be better,
you feel me. Because it's copycat league, You're getting the
(27:20):
same blocks over and over, so the game starts to
slow down a little bit. I can like start to
play the game within a game a little bit more.
Speaker 3 (27:29):
Wells, considering that you went up against for the last
three years, you went up against one of the greater
guards in NFL history, and Zach Martin, so a lot
I can imagine what those one on ones and that
nine O seven and that team setting was life because
it kind of prepared you and you had to feel,
man if I can get off a block against Zack Martin,
none of you other guys got a chance. Man, I
(27:51):
can beat him on a one on run pass rush.
You guys don't have a chance. Is that what you
were thinking?
Speaker 2 (27:56):
Bro? Literally?
Speaker 7 (27:57):
I mean, like you know, on Sunday, I know that
the best guys that I went against all week, he's
just right there to my left the way, So.
Speaker 2 (28:07):
I don't really have to worry about anybody else.
Speaker 7 (28:09):
Like I know that, and people ask me, like, who's
the best guy that you've ever gone against? I'm like,
that's a I go against him every day. So Zach
is a legend, So I got so much respect for him.
He's definitely definitely helped me sharpen all of my tools since.
Speaker 2 (28:26):
I've been in the league.
Speaker 1 (28:28):
Listen, what factors influenced your decision to commit to the
Cowboys long term?
Speaker 7 (28:38):
You know, I definitely love my team, Yeah, you feel me.
The routine and being in Dallas and everything that I
have out here is conducive to the what I got
going on. That's part of the reason why I'm in
this position to be able to get more money anyways.
Speaker 2 (28:57):
For sure, So I think that's just as valuable as
more money, you know.
Speaker 7 (29:03):
And I feel like with that being the case, and
trying to like chase more for the sake of more,
like you know what I mean, because it's like you
can always just try and get a little bit more,
just like trying and.
Speaker 2 (29:20):
And get like every dollar that you possibly, like, you
know what I mean.
Speaker 7 (29:25):
I just it was a very good deal, bro like,
and I was happy with it, Like it's life changing money.
Speaker 2 (29:32):
Like most definitely, most definitely I got to it like
Mom's good forever.
Speaker 3 (29:38):
Yeah, and you in Texas no state taxes at the
money that you might have gotten. Let's just say for
the sake of argument, you got an extra ten million
dollars over the life of the contract. Somewhere else You're
gonna say that in state taxes by not having state
taxes there. So for me, I'm looking at you, Ulsa,
is that what can I What can I do with eighty.
Speaker 2 (29:59):
Million, but I need to be able to do with
ninety million, That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 7 (30:03):
And that like, yeah, it was an opener closed any doors,
bro Like once you're already in the realm of life
changing generational wealth like right, Like you know what I mean,
It doesn't really move the needle for how for how
I'm gonna be living my life or what I can't do.
So I know I'm smart enough. I got good people
around me that are going to be able to help
me make more money on that off the field.
Speaker 2 (30:25):
Just I'm you feel me. We're set.
Speaker 1 (30:28):
Yeah, Hey, listen, when you get when you get a
contract of this magnitude, right, you already had personal goals
before you got it. You have team goals as a whole.
Now that you've gotten the contract. Have your personal goals changed?
Are they still the same?
Speaker 2 (30:45):
I mean, still chasing greatness, Brothers.
Speaker 7 (30:47):
Still thinks like I haven't reached the level that I
feel like I'm capable of back in terms of my play,
in terms of of being at the very top of
the league and and reaching that pinnacle.
Speaker 2 (31:01):
So in Super Bowl.
Speaker 7 (31:03):
Obviously, like team wise, like we haven't we haven't touched
any of those. So there's that's still all out there
to play for. Like now that the money is out
of the way, it's just all the things that you
love about football and the competitive aspect of it and
just trying to be great.
Speaker 2 (31:17):
Now.
Speaker 3 (31:19):
Now that happened, Oh that was the lass. What happened
this year a lot, bro, Like.
Speaker 7 (31:30):
I mean between injuries, like having having a new decordinator,
those growing paints at the beginning, just just a lot
of things happen, Bro throughout the course of the season,
a lot of things that nobody could really control. I
feel like the things that we could control as far
as like attitude and approach and just and just still competing.
Speaker 2 (31:51):
To the very end.
Speaker 7 (31:51):
I feel like we we did what we needed to
do there, and that's promising. Just the mentality of the team.
So I feel like that's something that we could build
off of, for sure.
Speaker 3 (32:01):
But you guys seem to struggle against the run the
last three to four years, OLSA, you guys have struggled
against the run. Why is it so difficult? And I
understand you guys want to play an attacking style defense.
When you had DQ he wants to attack, play, go
to the get to the quarterback, you play that attacking
style that forty three get to the quarterback. Same thing
with Zim. Why why do you think it's been so
(32:22):
difficult for you guys to stop the run.
Speaker 7 (32:31):
That's a tough one. There's a lot that goes into it,
you know what I mean? Like, I feel like just
being able to do just as good at the run
later in the game as like as we are in
the beginning of the game, because I feel like we
don't start out just you know what I mean like,
but against the run, I feel like, obviously we've got
games where we started slow, but I feel like, for
(32:52):
the most part, like we do a very good job
at the beginning of the game stopping the run. It's
just those later runs, like they break them eventually. So
I feel like just getting those down and just locking
in even more just to be able to to.
Speaker 2 (33:07):
Do a better job of stopping run a little bit
later in the game.
Speaker 1 (33:11):
Hey, when you think about it, listens as a football
enthusiast like myself. I like the Cowboys. I like the
players on the Cowboys. I like the Cowboys fans. Now
I don't like the way things are running Dallas. I'm
not going to say anything bad about your own or anything,
but I would like to ask you.
Speaker 2 (33:30):
Jerry Jones last year said he was going to be
all in.
Speaker 1 (33:33):
Is there anything that you would like to see ownership
do to improve the team to give you guys a
better chance at not only competing in the NFC, but
competing for Lombardi Trophy.
Speaker 2 (33:45):
Any additions you'd like. I know, an old lineman for sure.
Speaker 7 (33:54):
Okay, just we just lost Zach Martin, so definitely gonna
need to pick up an old line him, because you know,
that's a big part of our team. And I feel
like you've got to build from the front back right. Obviously,
more dtacles is really me and Mizi as of now,
So getting a little bit more depth behind us and
(34:17):
and adding to the D line room. Like I said,
building from the front back. That's gonna be very important.
I feel like that's just if you're if you're trying
to win football games, you gotta focus on that line.
Speaker 2 (34:28):
Right. You got your money, and now it's Michael.
Speaker 3 (34:34):
You see, Dak restructured his contract, CD LAMB restructured his
gave him all nearly forty million dollars bout thirty seven
million dollars in cap relief, so they got some money
to play with. Michael just saw what Max Crosby got
the most money for a non quarterback in NFL history.
I think Mike over there barbecue chicken piecel Hamburger.
Speaker 7 (34:58):
Oh yeah, bro, Like I didn't say that first because
I just felt like that was so obvious.
Speaker 2 (35:05):
It goes without saying, Bro, we got to.
Speaker 7 (35:09):
Bring Micah back, you know what I mean, nothing he's
going anywhere, but get that deal.
Speaker 2 (35:12):
Done so that that's just like a no brainer.
Speaker 7 (35:15):
Bruss goes without saying, gotta get gotta get eleven.
Speaker 2 (35:19):
Right, Yeah, they we can't.
Speaker 1 (35:22):
We can't wait until the end of training camp before
week one starts to get it done either.
Speaker 3 (35:29):
No. I think that's just that's probably probably number one
to be honest. Yeah, can I ask you a question.
Also when when Jerry is constantly in the headlines, he's
saying things like, do you like, come on, Jack, come on,
Jared stole us out man. Let let let him just
play with all the distractions and that you that you're
(35:50):
created k answer that.
Speaker 2 (35:54):
I don't hear it the distraction?
Speaker 3 (35:55):
Bro?
Speaker 2 (35:56):
Okay, you know what I mean?
Speaker 7 (35:58):
Like what what he says does effect what we do
out there on the field. Like I'm the one out
there on the field, bro, Like what that's not even
something that I really think about or let it distract me, bro,
because I know I'm in the driver's seat when I'm
on the field. So are the other ten guys out
there with me. So are the eleven guys on offense
(36:20):
in control of the situation.
Speaker 2 (36:21):
But you do how to?
Speaker 3 (36:23):
You do realize now when he says this team is
as talented as those ninety Super Bowls teams and you
guys go out there and stank it up.
Speaker 2 (36:33):
Not either he's either he's.
Speaker 3 (36:34):
Misguided or you guys are not nearly as talented as
he thinks.
Speaker 2 (36:38):
Now, it's only one of two choices. Right now. I'm
not gonna lie.
Speaker 7 (36:46):
I'm not gonna lie, but I wouldn't even say it's
an issue with talent. I'm just like, sometimes execution is
just what Obviously in the games that we didn't win,
executions just wasn't where it needed to be.
Speaker 2 (36:59):
I don't think question of talent at all. No, I
don't think so. So what is you mentioned? Team? Team success?
Speaker 3 (37:10):
Obviously, you want to get to an NFC championship game,
you want to get to the Super Bowl potentially win that.
Speaker 2 (37:15):
But individual pro, bo, all pro? What's next?
Speaker 3 (37:20):
What would you like to have when it's all said
and done, when we come back, we have a conversation
when we sit down with you, let's just say, for
the sake of argament, ten years from now and you're
hanging your cleats up, what do you want to be
on your resume?
Speaker 7 (37:32):
That's exactly what you just said, bro Pro, Bowl, all Pro.
These are the things that I look at, And that's
exactly what I mean when I say there's still a
lot out there for me to play for and a
lot of things that I haven't accomplished yet.
Speaker 2 (37:48):
Oh Joe, you've gotten paid. I'm thinking about the time.
Speaker 1 (37:56):
My goals that that set once that gotten paid, right,
all pro? Obviously, at some point I would love to
reach a super Bowl. I wasn't able to do that.
Speaker 2 (38:09):
You didn't go to the super Bowl.
Speaker 1 (38:11):
No, I'm talking about when I was in Cincinnati. Oh yeah, yeah,
come on, that's don't be disrespectful.
Speaker 2 (38:17):
Don't talking about the Bengals.
Speaker 1 (38:19):
Don't talk about the Bengals from a team from a
team standpoint, obviously speaking defensively, what do you think you
guys need to do better to start the season off right,
to get that identity back for you guys to get
back into and I don't want to say contention not
the right word, back into the good graces of just
(38:41):
being a good defense in general, being that it's been bad,
I mean, I don't, I mean no disrespect, being that
it hasn't been up to par.
Speaker 2 (38:48):
I'll say it like that. What do you guys need
to do? We gotta shut people down, bro right, Just
just the run, just the run. That's it. I'm done.
Speaker 7 (39:00):
Like we can if we force people to throw the ball,
you know what I mean, Like we've we can.
Speaker 2 (39:06):
We can pass rush with the best of them, bro.
Speaker 7 (39:09):
So definitely getting that run stop is and and forcing
them into those storing situations which they don't want to
be in, which has always been something that was obvious
since I've been a rookie. It's like that's the last
thing that teams want to do when they're coming to
play the Cowboys. This right, we don't want to throw
the ball, so we got to force them to throw
the ball and play our game, you know.
Speaker 2 (39:33):
Mm hmm.
Speaker 3 (39:34):
Cowboys defensive lineman Osa A Diggi Zua recently signed Big
Luke at the contract. He has his money. Now, now
he really gets the focus and become the player that
he dreamed he could become Pro bowler on All Pro
and hopefully get the team to the Super Bowl. Also,
thank you for joining us. Congratulations on the contract. Stay
(39:56):
healthy and we are we're checking with you're down the.
Speaker 2 (39:58):
Road, sir.
Speaker 3 (39:59):
Thank you all right, Thanks for John forget these McDonald's.
Speaker 2 (40:10):
Oh Joe, we got some breaking news tonight. What happened?
It just happened.
Speaker 3 (40:14):
Had the Chargers have released five time Pro bowler Joey Bosa.
Releasing Bosa saved the cap, saved the Chargers twenty five
point three six million dollars against that cap.
Speaker 2 (40:28):
Do you think you pick him up?
Speaker 1 (40:31):
If Joey Bosa is going and this is the perfect,
perfect opportunity. Now, you can't command that much money, right,
he just got released. Trey Henderson's is doing a huge deal.
I'm not sure if the Bengals are gonna be able
to pay him. What about Joey Bosa coming to Cincinnati?
Speaker 2 (40:47):
What do you think, Hunk?
Speaker 3 (40:48):
Yeah, but he's still gonna want he gonna want big
He go still want big money.
Speaker 2 (40:52):
Oh joe Wait, wait a minute now, Joey, listen, you
can't be commanding that kind of money when you haven't
been form and the way you should. They just releash
you for a reason. Yeah, with injured, I mean he's
been He's been nigged a lot. Nick, He's been injured.
So you can't come in there and talk about, Oh,
I want the bag. I'm talking about the bag bag.
(41:13):
You've already he's already, he's already gotten the bag bag.
Speaker 3 (41:15):
No, he's not gonna command Max Crosby money. No, but
he gonna want He's gonna want big money. He's gonna
want big money. O Joe Henna twenty million.
Speaker 2 (41:23):
Listen, we're gonna give him a little something. We ain't
gonna do him dirty. We're gonna give me a little something.
We need to upgrade our defense. This is the perfect
time to do so.
Speaker 1 (41:31):
Now, Trey Hendrickson is going to be able to command
much more than what Joey Vosha would get.
Speaker 2 (41:37):
So I understand that. I just huh, he's gonna want
that Max Crosby money.
Speaker 1 (41:45):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, That's that's why I said, I'm
not sure we will be able to retain brother brother Henderson,
you know, allow him to be blessed you know elsewhere.
You know, bring Max Crosby in. I mean, bring Max
crock in, Bring Joey Vosa in and see what we
could do. What'd you think?
Speaker 7 (42:01):
No?
Speaker 3 (42:05):
Uh, hold on, Look, the Chargers are trying to kill
their cap space. The thing is, this is twenty five
million dollars for a guy that's over the last several years.
Oh joe it's been nicked. He's spent more time off
(42:26):
the field than on the field. That's a lot of money.
If Joey Bosa was playing, you know, fifteen sixteen games
a season, we're still giving you that production when they
gave him that big money, right, twenty five I mean
twenty five million dollars cap here for a guy that's
given you twelve thirteen sacks is gravy, yes, sir, but
(42:47):
it's because of the injuries.
Speaker 2 (42:50):
And you know I'm looking at him.
Speaker 3 (42:53):
I mean they're gonna property them, probably gonna go out
and try to Khalil Macketts interested what they're gonna do
with Mac Yeah, because they probably want to get extended.
They can't get rid of everybody, you probably, uh huh.
They can't get rid of everybody now.
Speaker 2 (43:10):
No, no, no, no, no. Two premiere in You got
two premiere in is now you let one go? Now,
you can't let the other one go.
Speaker 3 (43:17):
You got well, you got Derwin James that's making a
lot of money on the back end. Yeah, you got
Khalil that's making good money. But he's gonna probably want
to get extended.
Speaker 2 (43:28):
Again.
Speaker 3 (43:30):
No, I mean you got to realize on Joe that
contracted if he got what one year left on his
contract as what's the Khalil max situation? I think I
think you have has like one year Oh Joe okay,
bank but you know O Joe coaches players. Nobody wants
to go into that last year deal that's lamed up. Yeah,
(43:55):
cause bro, what if you do you believe me me
or you don't. It's really there especially because I've been
in this league. I've been Defensive Player of the Year. Y'all,
y'all know what I do. You believe in me?
Speaker 2 (44:06):
Right, are you?
Speaker 3 (44:07):
And if I'm not mistaken, I think Mac Mac went
to the Pro Bowl last year. So he's like, uh,
clearly the coaches and the players and the fans think
I'm still playing at an elite level.
Speaker 2 (44:18):
Yeah, he's a free agent. Yeah. Three, yeah, so they.
Speaker 1 (44:23):
Man, listen, I'm I'm Mac Mac.
Speaker 2 (44:27):
Come on to Cincinnati. Two.
Speaker 1 (44:32):
Oh boy, hey, listen, I don't like what's going on. Man,
Tyler Lockett. You know, Tyler Lockett probably gonna Tyler Lockett
probably gonna end up going out there with Pete Carroll.
Speaker 2 (44:44):
Yeah, they're a good chance. Ye he drafted. Yeah, they
familiar with each other. They know each other.
Speaker 1 (44:49):
Yeah, Devontae Adams h Now, Jerry Jones, Jerry Jones, I
know you're gonna see this because somebody gonna send it
to you now. DK mcaff has been has been granted
permission to seek a trade.
Speaker 2 (45:05):
Jerry Jones. If you really all in, if you want
the fans.
Speaker 3 (45:08):
North of thirty million, he won't thirty He won't in
that thirty million range. You're not gonna have two receivers
making thirty milliona and and a quarterback making that kind
of money and you got to sign Michael where the
money coming from?
Speaker 2 (45:19):
With you? Can I ask your question? Do you hear
what you just said? Right? Yes?
Speaker 1 (45:23):
You're everything he just said. So I know I have
a lot of fans that are from Cincinnati in this chat.
And based on what you just said, why do we
still believe we'll be able to keep a thirty million
dollar receiver, a forty million dollar receiver and a fifty
million dollars quarterback based off.
Speaker 2 (45:41):
What you a thirty million dollar defensive end that I
don't know.
Speaker 1 (45:56):
Yeah, it's tough. I wouldn't want to be a GM.
I wouldn't want to be an owner because I'm gonna
act like the Yankees. I'm spending everything. Whatever penalty, listen,
whatever penalty I get for being over the cap.
Speaker 2 (46:12):
I take it because I'm signing everybody.
Speaker 3 (46:15):
Dyler Lockett was released by the Seahawks today and DK
metcaffrey requested a trade. The request came today after a
series of conversations over the past two weeks. DK for
further contender DK's in the last year of his contract,
DK Sewood. The receiver market is edding. Hey, bro, what
y'all got for me? I told you, I know what. Yeah, okay,
(46:35):
can I get traded? I told you what he needed
to do. I'll see what y'all did with Tyler Lockett.
I told you what they need to do. Jerry Jones
needs to be all in hunk.
Speaker 1 (46:47):
They got to be able to compete with the rest
of the NFCU DeVonta Smith, AJ Brown, Deebo Samuels, Terry McLaurin.
They only Brown, CD, lamb by yourself. Make a splash, Jerry,
make a splash. Show the fans of Dallas that you're serious.
(47:11):
Davante Adams is available. If you don't want to pay
nor to thirty for DK, bring somebody in there. Take
some of the pressure off of that. Take some of
the pressure off of CD. Show them you're serious.
Speaker 2 (47:25):
You know what I'm gonna show my team. I'm gonna
show the players here that I'm serious about winning, and
I'm gonna do something that's out of character. I'm gonna
go pay for some upgrades to the offense.
Speaker 3 (47:40):
If I don't think anything is roll in my house,
why would I upgrade it?
Speaker 1 (47:44):
Listen, Davante Adams is right there, Jerry Davante Adams is
what part about it?
Speaker 3 (47:51):
I don't think anything is wrong with my house, so
I don't need to have it.
Speaker 2 (47:56):
It's something hervish. It's something wrong with it because it's
been leaking for thirty years. Is something wrong with it.
Speaker 3 (48:03):
That's what I got fots and pants for. I catch
the rain water. Ain't very nony, Oh Joe. The Texans
plan on letting Stefan Diggs test Pree agency and Davante
Adams was cut by the Jets. Sheeta tweeted about the
recent receiver moving around the NFL, everyone trying to get out.
(48:26):
Why do you think there's so much movement with receivers currently,
Oh Joe?
Speaker 2 (48:31):
I mean, I mean you think of that. You think
of the receivers that are moving.
Speaker 1 (48:36):
Most of them are the veterans, those that are you know,
up in age a little bit, trying to get out
of the back end of those contracts. They obviously, you know,
they're not gonna lib me to hit the back end
of the contracts. Uh cap hits obviously DK wanting to
be paid, They're like, nah, we're not doing that, which
is why they allowed them to seek a trade Devonte
(48:58):
Adams money.
Speaker 2 (49:00):
There's no way that just we're paying the remaining of
whatever the next year's you know salary was.
Speaker 1 (49:05):
Let me see, uh, Stefan Diggs coming off of coming
off of injury, he was only on the one year.
Speaker 2 (49:10):
At to begin with, yeah on ACL.
Speaker 1 (49:12):
So hopefully he gets the opportunity to get back uh
healthy and.
Speaker 2 (49:19):
Find somewhere where he can contribute. And those are the reasons.
Speaker 3 (49:24):
And Brandon, I you the forty nine of us are
is being reported yea that they're willing to listen to
trade for Brandon Nuk.
Speaker 2 (49:32):
