Speaker 1 (00:02):
The following is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com
and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
Cowboys.
Speaker 3 (00:11):
This is Girls Talk Boys Talk, presented by Invisi Line,
trusted by over five hundred NFL players for their winning smiles,
and broadcasting live from Dallas Cowboys World headquarters at the Star.
Now your host, Nicole Hutchison.
Speaker 4 (00:40):
Hello, Welcome in to Girls Talk Boys Talk, presented by
Invisi Line.
Speaker 5 (00:44):
Here in the s WBC studio.
Speaker 4 (00:46):
I'm Nicole Hutchinson alongside Ayisha Morrison, Jessinavares, and Brianna Aldridge.
Speaker 5 (00:51):
We got some good news, ladies.
Speaker 4 (00:53):
What's up by the way, Okay, seem ad mood like,
what a a great day.
Speaker 6 (01:01):
This is a good start.
Speaker 5 (01:02):
It is good start. It is Cowboys have signed well extended.
Speaker 4 (01:06):
Also, did you do to a four year, eighty million
dollar deal that it's fifty two guarantee that means twenty
million per year?
Speaker 5 (01:13):
My math ain't that great.
Speaker 4 (01:14):
But I'm not gonna count the money worth worth every part,
every penny worth, every penny worth, every penny of it.
I mean, just the first reactions from you ladies when
you guys saw the news.
Speaker 7 (01:24):
Beaming but not surprised to be honest, I'm glad he
got his money here, but I'm interested to see I'm
interested to kind of poke around and hear what other
suitors there could have been for him. But like we
had talked about, he wanted to stay in Dallas. We
knew that. And I'm really glad that he has a
(01:47):
long tenure here with the Cowboys. Good locker room guy,
great lead by example guy, great on the field, production,
draft and develop, has been there worth every dang penny.
In my opinion, I can oh, Diggy do it.
Speaker 5 (02:02):
That good girl, go to it.
Speaker 7 (02:06):
I'm in a great move today, I am.
Speaker 8 (02:11):
I'm proud of the Cowboys for getting this done because
I was getting scared.
Speaker 7 (02:15):
We talked about it last week, the.
Speaker 8 (02:16):
Franchise tag rumors, and I remember I told you guys,
I didn't like it.
Speaker 5 (02:20):
I hate it.
Speaker 7 (02:21):
I didn't like it.
Speaker 8 (02:22):
Yeah, it's it's basically, we want you, but we don't
know how to keep you, and we're stalling until literally July,
and then that's when it would have really put the
pressure on. But why, I think this is a good
sign because now it means let's focus on Micah Parsons,
Let's get that done next.
Speaker 5 (02:40):
And I think.
Speaker 8 (02:41):
It shows that, you know, they can what we've been
talking about, they can develop and they can retain, and
I think it's a good step in the right direction.
That's why there's so much positivity at this table because again,
now you can start to work around the other pieces
and hopefully fast.
Speaker 7 (02:57):
But what is it for deadline today to make that choice.
So it's right on target.
Speaker 5 (03:02):
But they got it done. They got it done.
Speaker 4 (03:04):
I gotta defend the Cowboys though, on that just a
little bit, because there apparently were some other outside factors
that were kind of playing into the whole deal being
done and then the Cowboys having to decide that, Okay,
we're gonna possibly put him franchise tag Osa.
Speaker 5 (03:17):
So I do have to not gonna be exact say
exactly what.
Speaker 4 (03:21):
Happened, but there were some outside factors on why this
whole deal had been a little bit delayed.
Speaker 5 (03:26):
But I should have.
Speaker 6 (03:27):
Bad which is no, you're fine, that's what come on, reporter,
what you're here for. But no, I agree with you, ladies.
I think the deal was necessary and then given the
people would consider it a team friendly deal, but it's
really what he deserves and that you know. Fourteenth, I
think it's fourteenth or fifteenth. It'll make him the fourteenth
or fifteenth highest paid defensive tackle in the NFL, and
(03:50):
I think that that's fair given where he is. Obviously,
we got to see an uptick in his play towards
the latter part of the season, and I think if
that is. If that is, then you're getting a hell
of a good player. Furthermore, when you look within ebra
flu system and the way that he likes to play football,
it is very contingent on his front four being strong
(04:13):
and being able to win in one on one situations
and not having to come with a lot of blitzes
and things like that. And ohso Digizua, as we know,
is a gentleman that has passed rush ability. I think
he's a stabilizer. So I'm happy. But this also allows
you to go into the draft, into free agency and
things like that. Again, I saw Calvin Watkin's suite. Hey,
this is not going to stop Dallas from attacking the
(04:35):
DT position in free agency and draft, and thank God,
have mercy. I would hope you, but you have a
foundational piece. He's earned this contract and I'm looking forward
to him being here in the future. So I thought
it was a smart move, and as we're going to
talk about, it frees up some of your finances to
do some of the other things as well. That cowboys
(04:56):
seem like they're cooking a little bit right now, so
let them could. I don't know what to say.
Speaker 5 (05:00):
I don't know.
Speaker 6 (05:00):
If I listen, I don't know. I don't know if
it's a slow cooker, I don't know if it's a
rock pile.
Speaker 4 (05:06):
As long as they're talking about air frying.
Speaker 7 (05:09):
Stuff, as long as they cook, babe.
Speaker 6 (05:14):
It depends on what's necessary. Oh dang can cook a
lot of stuff in the air fry quick, but sometimes
it need to be in the crock pike.
Speaker 7 (05:22):
Well, it depends what you're making.
Speaker 6 (05:23):
That's what I'm saying. So we're trying to make you
need Well.
Speaker 5 (05:27):
What are you using to now cook?
Speaker 4 (05:28):
If you're the cowboys money, I'm still trying to decide.
I don't know, Like what type of cooker are y'all using?
Speaker 5 (05:33):
I don't know. It depends on the play.
Speaker 7 (05:35):
It depends on the player. If they need to simmer
in a better deal that's worth their time and money,
they need to simmer however, also deal it's like an
air fryer deal. Like to set it a little bit
longer than you normally would in the air fier, but
like you got it done. They make it up a
lot of different They're using the whole kitchen to cook.
Speaker 4 (05:52):
All right, Okay, all talking in a different language right now.
Speaker 6 (05:56):
I'm sorry.
Speaker 7 (05:56):
I shouldn't take it so like it really only makes Oops,
you're outsing the wrong person.
Speaker 4 (06:01):
All right, Let's go ahead and take a listen to
what OsO Diggi Zoo had to say. Patrick and I
had a chance to hear what he had to say
about this deal, and.
Speaker 5 (06:09):
Go ahead and take it away, Jazzy Cornerstone.
Speaker 9 (06:12):
Player by this franchise.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
You know, I feel like it just speaks to the
hard work that's paid off, consistently working in day day out,
you know, and just making those deposits finally paying off.
Speaker 10 (06:25):
You know.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
I can now look at my mom and be like,
you never have to work again, and that's really what
this has all been about, you know, So being able
to do that. Uh, still it's still kind of registering,
you know what I mean. It doesn't even feel real
at this point, so, you know, just kind of soaking
it in.
Speaker 9 (06:45):
What's the first thing that came to mind when you
got the call that done deal. You're gonna be with
the Cowboys another four years, eighty million dollars.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
It's awesome, you know what I mean? I love Dallas,
loved playing for this organization, love being a Cowboys. So
the fact that I to do it for another four
years get very very large playing Chris to do it.
It's not that I wasn't already happy doing the work,
but just get to have an even bigger smile on
my face when I come in the building.
Speaker 9 (07:12):
What's the the first thing you're gonna do now that
you've got this deal? So you want a Disney World?
Speaker 2 (07:23):
Yeah, don't judge me, but I'm actually gonna work out later.
You did.
Speaker 9 (07:28):
One last question? Now having been made a cornerstone player
in this franchise with matt Evin Flus coming back into
the building, but as a defensive coordinator role. The way
he runs schemes, his three tech he's been he himself
with ebra Flues has hit the three tech is the
engine that drives his defense. What does that mean for
you going forward with ebra Flus and just what can
(07:49):
this defense be in twenty twenty five coming off of
an injury, Ravisour.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
You know, I think the injuries are always there's always
risk of injury, but just playing in this defense, it's
it's always fun to play in the defense that emphasize
the D line, especially as a D lineman and a
three tech one that I feel like myself being versatile,
having many skill sets. So playing for a coach that
recognizes that and is trying to, you know, put that
on display and make that the main thing and just
(08:17):
kind of use that to the full potential is going
to be a lot of fun.
Speaker 5 (08:22):
I know I'm able one question, just real fast.
Speaker 4 (08:24):
I know I'm able to get you tomorrow, but I
do want to ask, this is now your third DC.
Speaker 5 (08:28):
In three years.
Speaker 4 (08:28):
What's the challenge for you and just learning new systems
every year.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
I mean, I feel like it's gonna be good just
giving what Shaddy has said, you know what I mean.
I like the way he thinks, and I'm getting the
same vibe from coach Fluce. They're gonna put us into
positions to do what we do well, so you know,
learning the scheme stuff like that, that's not something that
I really struggle with. I feel like I do a
good job of getting my plays down very quickly. Not
(08:57):
a guy that has a lot of mental error. So
just you know, learning that and then finding my ways
and my opportunities to make plays within that is going
to be a lot of fun.
Speaker 4 (09:07):
It's going to be a lot of fun seeing Osa
for the next four years. Heila, I'm crying, but just
I mean, what was the best takeaway.
Speaker 5 (09:16):
From just hearing what you have to say?
Speaker 6 (09:18):
Ladies?
Speaker 7 (09:19):
Well, first of all, don't let himool you. That man's
a full on Disney adult. I don't let fool you. Yes,
he's a Disney adult, Disney adult. But you know what, like,
aside from everything he said about his mom, Like we
could go on and on about that, but something that
stood out to me, Matt Eberflu's really just started. He
just called him coach Flues. I don't know if anybody
(09:40):
else got onto that. I was like, ooh, we got
a good little spark between your DT and your DC,
And to me, that should get you excited. And for me,
when I hear Osa talk about how mental mistakes aren't
really a thing for him and he picks up on schemes,
well he's shown that. And I think the way Osa
attacks this game is so mentally tough that he really
(10:05):
does hone in on things I think in a way
that benefits him on the field mentally and and how
he absorbs information is is definitely something that I wish
I could do because the way his brain works, I'm like, dang,
that's crazy. But yeah, the coach flews that, I was like, oh,
all right, good, we're already in conversations and that means
(10:26):
good things ahead hopefully.
Speaker 8 (10:27):
Yeah, it's like a it's like a perfect I don't
want to say a story but ending because he's got
four years here to go. But this is like the
perfect full circle moment for him the franchise because you
have to think about it, like I, you know, I
talked to analysts all year round. Osa's not the guy
that everyone's talking about because you have Michael Parsons right there.
(10:48):
So I feel like this is just like a surreal
moment because you can he's put in the work, right,
He's coming off his best season. He deserves this money,
like everyone is saying, and it's noticed and recognized, and
there's a lot of changes that are coming into this.
So like Justic's point to hear him confident in not
only his new DC but his new head coach.
Speaker 7 (11:07):
This is perfect.
Speaker 8 (11:08):
This is in if it works out right, because now
it's the same thing the pressure we saw it. I
mean DAK has always had the pressure, but when you
pay CD and you're talking about okay, they need a
number two while a lot of people are like, well,
you just made CD the high one of the highest
paid players for his respective position.
Speaker 7 (11:26):
So no, he's got to figure it out. He's got
to hold up that end.
Speaker 8 (11:28):
I think it's the same pressure as on DAK, and
I think a lot of this pressure will now go on.
Oh so like, okay, you just paid this man, what
is it fifty what guaranteed that he's getting it to Yes,
So that's gonna it's gonna require a little on pressure.
So I'm very interested to see how he steps up
to it. And like he says, he feels like he
has the coaches who are going to utilize what he
does best.
Speaker 5 (11:47):
So I'm very excited for him.
Speaker 7 (11:48):
And it's it's like a little goosebump moment.
Speaker 6 (11:50):
Yeah, I agree. A couple of the things he said
stood out first, talking about his mom and I and
I think we hear players say this all the time,
but to me, it resonates because it is a reminder
of what they do it for and a lot of
the time, you know, we talk about it. This league
is short for a lot of guys, and a lot
(12:12):
of guys don't see a second contract. And for him
to get to that point and you know, obviously feel
some weight taking off of him to do some of
the things that he's desired to do in his life
for his family is something that I cherish as well.
But also to I think you asked Nicole in regard
to the changes in the system and the challenges and
(12:34):
having to install a new system now to think about
Ebraflusive system, and I think this is why the guys
aren't as like when you ask them. I think this
isn't the first time we've heard a player talk about it,
and they're just like yeah, because ebraflucis system and the
way that he does things has been around for a while.
Like I said, it's not super flashy and fancy and
(12:55):
things like that. He just allows guys to be themselves
like he like they mentioned, but also too, you go,
you just go win out there, you know. So to me,
I think that the system transition may be a little
and I could be guessing, but that's just me. It
may be a little smoother than what it was with
Zimmer because zimmer system, in the way he runs things
(13:17):
is very exotic, very a lot of disguising and things
like that. That's not Eberflus's vibe. Even though I know
he is gonna get busy with Micah and Osa and
kind of moving them around. So I'm I'm not as
worried about them, uh retaining what this new system is
gonna be. Like, I'm not as worried as I think
I was before.
Speaker 7 (13:37):
Do you also feel like it was It's less of
a I want to say culture shock with lack of
a better term than it was from Dan Quinn to
Mike Zimmer last year.
Speaker 6 (13:48):
Yeah, I mean I would say, I would say, I don't.
I don't know much about Eberflus's temperament. I don't know
if you.
Speaker 4 (13:55):
Ladies finds just a chill guy, like a dance he
gives me, Dan guys with the guy honestly, Yeah, No,
I mean I don't.
Speaker 6 (14:04):
I don't think it is for them because, like I said,
they can look within other schemes in the NFL and
see some of what he does. I think that Zimmer
was very specific to like what his tools he had
were like and how to navigate them, and I think
we start to see that later in the season, just
kind of how he was putting guys together and finding
like different different lineups and rotations. But I think it's
(14:28):
you know, you went up front, went up front before,
and life's going to be easier in general for you,
And that's kind of what el Flu stands by.
Speaker 5 (14:35):
So I also got some other roster news. The Cowboys
are retaining CJ. Goodwin.
Speaker 4 (14:39):
They he's a greet to terms and will turned on
a one year deal, So that is also some news.
Speaker 7 (14:45):
That's a good Win.
Speaker 4 (14:48):
I'm sorry, bro, Like she says it and then you
don't catch it to you're like, yeah.
Speaker 7 (14:55):

I'm only asking. I'm only asking because I know some
people that would love the aka my parents, not the
parent kid of the games. Sometimes I don't know.
Speaker 4 (18:00):
We'll see, you know what else Some people love or
may not love. I don't know if the Cowboys will
love this.
Speaker 7 (18:04):
But I love the transition.
Speaker 5 (18:05):
Here comes great. I know it was a question, breu
what they know? The answer? Yes, all right, Deo Samuel
is joining Washington. Yeah, I don't ye. I don't think
they love that though, Yeah they don't love that. They could,
I don't know, depends. But also Saequon Barkley signed to UH.
Speaker 4 (18:23):
He got a two year, forty one million dollar contract
extension with the Eagles. Now that deal makes Barkley the
NFL's first twenty million plus per year running back.
Speaker 5 (18:33):
Can we now talk about how much that is.
Speaker 4 (18:35):
Going to probably affect what Rico Dala wants if he
wants to resign here in Dallas, which I'll think.
Speaker 7 (18:41):
Yeah, I mean, I am glad that that running back
market just got uped though like that it's that reset
the market for the running back. So that does work
in any running backs favor right now, including Rico. What
I do think is, I think when we now when
we think of free agency, like, oh, dan Quinn's gonna
be at it again, and dan Quinn doesn't let a
(19:02):
moment pass without inquiring, which is a great reputation to have,
right So automatically you think, oh, you know, all of
the laundry lists of free agents could very well jump
ship go to Washington and they know what they're getting
into dan Quinn. My mind kind of goes there for Rico.
But now, if you want a little positive spin, maybe
(19:23):
with Debo going to Washington, that gives the Cowboys maybe
a one up they might not have had if they
didn't retain him in free agency, to maybe have a
better chance of retaining Rico if that's what they want
to do. That's the only I mean, really, you just
don't know yet.
Speaker 5 (19:42):
I just don't know.
Speaker 7 (19:43):
The running back room is such a question mark.
Speaker 5 (19:45):
You just don't know.
Speaker 7 (19:46):
Yeah, I think it's at it's gonna be.
Speaker 8 (19:48):
It's gonna be interesting because I mean the running back
position overall, like it's just so it's really not fair
because their bodies are getting worked, in my opinion, the hardest,
and their careers are the shortest, and they don't get
paid as much. That's why mister James Cook, who just
put up franchise rushing numbers for Buffalo, is saying I
(20:11):
want fifteen mil, and everyone was like, you're insane. But
any other player, if that was a wide receiver, it's
a totally different ballgames. So in that aspect. But I
think Rico, I'm not sure who he's represented by, but
I think you still have to be realistic on the
type of season he had, although for him is coming
off career best, I don't think we could sit here
(20:33):
and compare him to a Sa Kwan.
Speaker 5 (20:35):
Yeah please, oh fact. Yeah.
Speaker 8 (20:37):
And I think I think I'm just saying that because
I think the number game is going to be interesting
on what he's asked, and he he should stand on
business and on his own I don't think the Cowboys
personally respected him as a running back, especially towards the
beginning of that season.
Speaker 6 (20:52):
He really had to prove it.
Speaker 8 (20:53):
And I think I said it earlier before when we
first got together, that I think he held his own
in a respectable man.
Speaker 6 (21:00):
I don't think.
Speaker 8 (21:00):
Everyone in this league, I think, have a tendency to
go to social media and kind of make a stir
or we'll talk to the media after. You know, hearing
running back by committee when you're clearly the running back
one in that room at that time has to be frustrating,
and I think he handled.
Speaker 6 (21:14):
It very well.
Speaker 8 (21:15):
He was always very respectful, you know, even after a
tough loss or he didn't get the ball as much
as he wanted. It was just like, I'm just going
to keep proving myself that I'm running back one. I'm
just going to keep coming back. And that's what he
did and that's how he ended. But again, if I'm
the Cowboys, I'm going to try to keep him because
I think the loyalty there and that's the type of
player you want in your locker room.
Speaker 6 (21:35):
And so yeah, I shared this sentiment on most most
guys in the league aren't Saquon So's facts. Yeah, I mean,
it's just that he is a difference making running back.
But also too, another thing that's going to affect the
market is that even though Saquon got that money and
other people might be asking for some more money, this
(21:56):
is one of the best running back draft classes we
have seen in a long time. So if you think
people ain't gonna go cheap, young just as explosive, if
not more explosive. Obviously too, there is an uptick in
why running backs having receiver type capabilities. If you don't
(22:17):
have that, it's almost like a knock on your uh,
your play. So for me, I really feel for the
market the running backs that are here in the NFL
right now, because it is very hard to think that
teams are not going to pick up a rookie because
you can maybe get one into the fourth, fifth round
(22:38):
in this draft and be like, oh he can play.
Now it gets different like towards like the start of
the fourth I would say, but you might look up
and get a guy in the fifth that is a
good player. So with that being said, Sequon Saquon, y'all
can they can? The running backs can ask for their money.
They deserve it. And I think Rico, like you ladies
were saying, I think Rico being here, you need foundational pieces,
(23:02):
You need stabilizers. You need guys to be able to
show some of these young guys around and stuff. So
I would like for him to be here. But Cowboys
also need to be trying to pick up a running
back in this draft.
Speaker 4 (23:14):
Class as well. What do you think the next step
is for Dallas? Of course we're seeing the different reports
of C. J.
Speaker 5 (23:19):
Goodwin.
Speaker 4 (23:19):
Of course we can expect some other special teams guys
UH to have some have a deal done as well soon.
But as far as the foundational pieces, I feel like
you were mentioning, who do you feel like should be
next outside of Michael Parsons.
Speaker 5 (23:33):
No, that's that's a given. Michael Parsons who should be next?
Speaker 6 (23:39):
Well with them freeing up some of the kids as
they have right now, it should be it should? I
saw David Moore allude to a why I laugh, Sorry,
we were just thinking about the same thing, my bad.
Should it should allow you to retain guys like a
Jordan Lewis if you want to ye again in your
cornerback room. Yeah, really Will Smith and that room right now.
Speaker 7 (24:00):
Like that's but coming off of but coming off of
injuries as well. Yes, track it repetitive everybody in that room.
Speaker 6 (24:09):
So for that, I think you would sign him back.
I don't know what's gonna happen with the defensive end room,
because Lord have mercy, if I'm if my if I'm
looking at it from what I think is is right now,
set in stone, Micah, Marshawn, Kneeland, OsO Adiggizua period and
a Masi and Mazi sorry, Mazi and Mazi. So and
(24:32):
that's it. You ain't got no rotation, you ain't got
none of that right now. And these guys legs get heavy,
so they also need to be looking at like defensive
end and what's going to happen there. So yeah, it's
a lot going. Yeah, it is a lot, but you
can I think they can attack it. I think they
can do what they need to do to to at
(24:54):
least push the team forward or to at least just
again just stabilize the team. Like a few weeks ago,
we were in a panic because it's like what's happening
right now, Like we have no idea what this roster
is going to look like now with some of these
guys being signed back, it's like, okay, well we can
we can stand, we can stamp that, and you can
start feeling and once you get the foundational places you
you can start looking at Okay, I need a role
(25:16):
player here, where I need this guy here? And then
a free agency Winisterry I just he starts around the corner.
Speaker 7 (25:21):
Coming, it's around.
Speaker 6 (25:23):
It's around the corner. So going into the draft, not
having to push for need and things like that is
the best thing to do. And this does feel like
they're trying to do that. And here's a cookie for it. Yeah,
the cookies from the airplane. Oh those are good Christie's cookies. Yeah, alright, No,
(25:45):
you're fine.
Speaker 4 (25:46):
Sorry, Samuel off to Washington and uh that was for
a fifth round pick.
Speaker 6 (25:50):
Ladies by fifth fifth Unliff Kingsbury is going to have
a field day, you know.
Speaker 5 (25:59):
J and Daniels gonna have a field day.
Speaker 7 (26:01):
Sorry, I'm just gonna say, yeah, division, I've been sick
seeing everybody else have a field day. So just keep
on this trajectory of doing things at the right time
with the right people so you can have yourself a
field day like I I am glad that this happened
(26:21):
now with Osa and then C. J. Goodwin and all
the places, all the pieces seem to fall be falling
in place to get the right players like we're talking about.
But they have to continue to do that with retaining
but also adding additions that make sense in the places
you're gonna be able to need plug and play that
you don't really necessarily have time to draft and develop.
(26:42):
So sure, cool, but like let's keep it going. Yeah,
don't slow down.
Speaker 6 (26:47):
Yeah, here's your division, full pedal. Your division is continued
to get better. And the thing about Debot and bringing
Debo in when you look at Washington and you look
at when they started to struggle, is when Terry McLaurin
seemed like he was like the piece because obviously they
sent Johan Dotson over to Philly d and now has
a ring and I just want to throw up, But
they needed another receiving option. They needed another and they
(27:08):
needed more familiar Yeah, and they need more from their
run game. And I think that they will get that
the mixture of both with Debo. Obviously he's dealt with
some injuries this last couple of years or whatever, so
I think a fresh star would be good for him
as well. But yeah, they're addressing something that they saw
hamper their offensive production. And Debo was available, so go
get it. Do what you gotta do, I guess and.
Speaker 8 (27:29):
I know, but how it's just what they got, what
they gave up to get it. It was And I just
want like, is there a class where like the Cowboys
can figure out how they get a little splashed with
the fifth round pick a later pick because this fourth.
Speaker 7 (27:46):
Round game is gonna say.
Speaker 6 (27:47):
I just think it's the approach they You know, they've
expressed multiple times that they don't call people, that they
wait for people to call. That's so if that's your mentality,
that's that's not how football work. Like that, Like you
need to be the aggressor sometimes it is up to you,
because baby, I know, the scouts are the area of
(28:09):
scouts and stuff are bringing players and like, hey, this
guy's on the prize. Hey this guy got a little
song going on over there. You might want to go
scoop them up, Like I'm not. The scouts are doing
their job. It's like, what do you so for them?
They may have to change their approach.
Speaker 7 (28:21):
And you know what, I'm interested to see as well,
we're talking in terms of free agency, how the UFL
kind of plays into that as well, and how not
having a bones fossil eye could also impact that because
when you have a bones fossil hand selecting Akvante Turpin
and a brand and Aubrey like, that's kind of I
know that's not his key focus is scouting, but he
got you too literal gems in the rough.
Speaker 6 (28:44):
Yeah, so I for a talent.
Speaker 7 (28:45):
I'm interested to see, you know, kind of that aspect
as well, and if the Cowboys continue that route with
looking in kind of areas that maybe are overlooked.
Speaker 15 (28:55):
Sometimes I'm just I'm hyped up to see free agency
like they at me thinking they're gonna do just.
Speaker 7 (29:06):
A little bit.
Speaker 5 (29:06):
Let me show y'all, because I got show y'all.
Speaker 4 (29:08):
Because normally when free agency comes around, I dread it.
Speaker 6 (29:11):
Yeah, I dread it because I.
Speaker 8 (29:12):
Just be like, I don't I don't want to see
high former high draft picks from other teams that didn't
work and try to make it work here.
Speaker 7 (29:21):
That's what I don't want to see.
Speaker 6 (29:23):
I'm scared, let's see it.
Speaker 7 (29:25):
But that's that's what I hope, not like there's just.
Speaker 8 (29:30):
There's so much opportunity and they're restructuring and they're going
to continue. So at least like today, today was a
big step, So I don't want to get greedy. Big
step and now see what else that they can gather
up in free agency because there are there are some
some guys that are available that could really help.

We have some fun?
Speaker 7 (32:55):
Wow, so much fun? I love fun.
Speaker 5 (32:57):
Why are you looking at me like you stressed?
Speaker 7 (33:00):
Shit?
Speaker 5 (33:01):
Why I feel like she?
Speaker 7 (33:02):
You and her have different definitions of fun. Betimes very true,
because your fund can be a little traumatizing for us
depending on what it is.
Speaker 6 (33:10):
Can be making me stressed.
Speaker 5 (33:14):
What you gotta think for this one?
Speaker 4 (33:15):
All right, it's gonna be called wild card free agent.
Just hear me out, all right, you're gon choose a
player who's somewhat of a bit of a stretch in
terms of like they've had a down year this past season,
or they've had injury concerns, but they could possibly hit
their potential if they signed with the Cowboys and could
(33:36):
be a game changer.
Speaker 7 (33:37):
Oh, you already know who I'm gonna say.
Speaker 6 (33:39):
You already know.
Speaker 7 (33:41):
It's obvious. It's obvious choice here.
Speaker 6 (33:43):
Very obvious. It's obvious.
Speaker 7 (33:45):
But it's a good choice. And let's let's talk about
why I have the notes here, all right. I did
read earlier for multiple articles and reporters that the Rams
are open to keeping him. So that's also why it's
a little reach here, because that could be a possibility. However,
you can work out of the slot to get open
over the middle receiver. Who's the only other guy that
(34:06):
was doing that this season other than Jake CD anybody
that's right exactly that it's a silence, correct, that's that
was the correct answer. There is an injury history like
you're talking about. However, I think this would work in
Cooper Cup's favor to have such a young receiving room
because you have a rotation of guys very much similar
(34:29):
to how I think they wanted to use Brandon Cooks
but never did. So he's not getting the full on
reps every single time, which in turn would create a
longevity for how much he's able to play. If he
were to come somewhere here with a younger room, only
thing is.
Speaker 5 (34:45):
The money.
Speaker 7 (34:46):
The money would talk, and I think that's when other
contract restructures would have to come into play. He would
do a twelve point five million salary base cap hit
with a seven point five million ross your bonus. That
any team that acquires him would have to pick up.
So if you do the math with what the Cowboys
have available after the CD restruction, these deals math and
(35:09):
math in However, there's other contracts, bigger contracts, Trayvon Dak
you could restructure to make it happen. It's a stretch,
but I do think he'd be a really good fit here,
and you also want that veteran presence if they don't
retain Brandon Cooks. I just think that's always a good idea,
especially for a receiver. Yeah that's my that's my pitch. Okay,
go for it, Go ahead. Me just piggyback off what
(35:32):
you said.
Speaker 8 (35:33):
I like the Cooper Cup because I feel like it's
a it's someone from the Cat that's not gonna overpower
sheety because I've seen like like Devonte Adams. That was
something I saw coming into here, and I was like,
this too big of a personality to match it with CD,
if that makes sense. So I was like kind of
piggyback on you said no money, money, money talks.
Speaker 10 (35:53):
I don't.
Speaker 6 (35:54):
I don't think that was gonna work for that reason.
Speaker 8 (35:56):
But if I had to pool now I know no
call you talked about someone who had a down year,
if you will. It's more of a person who again
something similar to we talked about what the Eagles were
able to do to get that person who was one
point I think five million.
Speaker 6 (36:10):
And it worked out.
Speaker 8 (36:12):
Pooniford a nose tackle from the Chargers. That's who I
wrote down. I think what he's able to do not
only plug in for upfront in the trenches, but I've
seen him being able to do the double team. We've
talked about that a lot. Who can actually do that.
I think he comes in and he's an impact player.
He's twenty nine years old. I could see him signing
(36:34):
a two year deal when I looked up what about
what he would get? Mind, he just signed a one
year prove it year for one point five. The Chargers
obviously want to keep them, but they're in the same
situation as the Cowboys where they're looking at twenty six
plus free agents that they're working around who are bigger
names than Punifford, and he's would be hitting about just
(36:55):
under seven meal, which I think is doable, especially when
you're just restructured CD and that opened up twenty million
in cap space. You haven't even touched Dak there's other
things you can do. I don't think if you're not
hitting double digits. I think it's something that you're trying
to bring in, especially if you're really trying to be
serious upfront, and when you're talking about the type of
(37:15):
division when again the Commanders are adding, the Eagles are adding,
and twenty nine years old, that's that's when you want
to get them.
Speaker 6 (37:24):
Yeah. No, I'm glad that you went defensive defensive tackle.
Come on, girl, I ain't gonna be too greedy. I
got a couple, but I'm gonna say Jared Reid the
interior defensive tackle for the Seahawks. He had an injury
Week eighteen. He was not able to start that with
a knee injury. He started every game last year, but
(37:44):
got banged up towards the end. Not sure if the
Seattle Seahawks feel the knee to retain him, because they
did go out in the draft and get some you
know guys then, and also too, I think because you're
white linebacker of the Arizona Cardinals. Arizona Cardinals aren't that
good this year, so he had a down year. This
(38:09):
is a guy that has a lot of range and
plays with some ferocity. I mean, no one's gonna replace
a de Marveian overshown. But I will say that the
Cowboys linebacker is another position that has been riddled with injuries.
We don't know if they are going to uh bring
back an Airic Kendricks. If they don't, then they are
probably gonna be in the business of looking for a
(38:30):
veteran linebacker. This is a gentleman that I think would
be not only be affordable, but would also make your
team better as well. So or Nick Bolton if that's
really what you're gonna do now. Gray Greenlaw interests me,
But is he too like I thought personally? I thought
he came back real quick, real quick, real quick, real quick,
(38:50):
and then obviously he injured re injured himself again. But
Drake Greenlaw is someone that I think despite his injuries,
people are gonna take a look at him. People are
gonna take a look at him. Maybe the Coways do.
But I would be addressing the defensive side. Sounds like
you want to go offense, which I'm totally down with
the offense too. What I was gonna go receiver and
I was gonna talk about de hop only.
Speaker 7 (39:10):
Because we can knew that we knew.
Speaker 4 (39:14):
No, you need a veteran receiver in here and someone
to play with Ceedee Lamb on the opposite side.
Speaker 2 (39:19):
Uh.
Speaker 5 (39:19):
And you look at obviously.
Speaker 4 (39:21):
You could claim his twenty twenty four season as a
down year.
Speaker 5 (39:25):
Just because postseason.
Speaker 4 (39:28):
Why And he had six ten yards receiving yards, five touchdown,
three catches twenty nine yards in the postseason alone. So
I would say that's a down down here for him,
considering he's had seven one thousand yard seasons. Of course,
three first team All Pro selections, five time Pro Bowler,
but he's now what thirty.
Speaker 5 (39:45):
Two years old. I believe I'm mistaken, So it won't
be as I'll say.
Speaker 6 (39:52):
I won't.
Speaker 5 (39:53):
It won't say it's gonna be cheap.
Speaker 4 (39:55):
But certainly, if you want someone to come in here
and be an impact player, you want to go.
Speaker 5 (40:00):
I like d Hop for sure.
Speaker 6 (40:01):
Yeah, And I think he's still Kansas City's offense and
the way that they were running, some of the stuff
they had going on, especially from the offensive line perspective,
Patrick was running from for his life, and so for me,
I do think I agree. I think he still has
something in the tank, So I would be open to
that too. This free agency class in general has some
(40:22):
good players absolutely, So that's why it's like we can
go every position and be like, yeah we could. Cowboys
do have an opportunity to really get some good players
in this in this free agency and again going to
the draft being like, okay, now we can put the
sprinkles on top.
Speaker 7 (40:39):
You know, it'd be great to sign micat first, so
you have the money to play around with because otherwise
you're just window shopping.
Speaker 6 (40:45):
Which is odd too, because.
Speaker 7 (40:47):
The market is set.
Speaker 5 (40:48):
You know, you want Mike on the team.
Speaker 7 (40:50):
I'm not really here that that's just howthy that's just
how it is.
Speaker 5 (40:56):
What it is. It is.
Speaker 6 (40:57):
No, no, no, no, no, no. I'm I mean I'm legitimately
looking forward to free agency. Yeah, I mean we're already
in it, key, That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 5 (41:06):
We're already in it.
Speaker 6 (41:06):
I mean signing back CJ. Goodwin, signing Osa, the restruction CD,
things like that. We're already in it right now, and
so they're trying to take it the guys here and yeah,
then we'll be able to move forward.
Speaker 5 (41:19):
So it's gonna be fun.
Speaker 6 (41:20):
Come on, team building. I think it will fine. I
think it will.
Speaker 7 (41:25):
I think I will I'm not trying to be pessimistic.
I'm really not. I just think you should enjoy this
feeling today.
Speaker 6 (41:32):
Well, what I will say is one thing that gives
me excitement is that I think the gentlemen, some of
the gentlemen that they brought in from a coaching perspective,
the new ocuh Clayton Adams. I watched the Cardinals, I
saw the rosters, I saw the offensive lines, and he
got good production out of not stars, not a bunch
(41:55):
of stars, not a bunch of fancy schmanchy people. This
is also too like, yeah, we want to attack free
agency and do things like that. But I do think
that this coaching staff has a plan for what they
want to do and that's going to help them be
able to look for what they need. Last year, I
felt like we were like this, like they missed a
crabs me. Yeah, that's crazy.
Speaker 4 (42:13):
It seems like they all align with what they want
to do as well, like there's no.
Speaker 6 (42:16):
There's a clear cut plan. There's a clear cut plan,
and that's we didn't have that last year. We did
not have.
Speaker 7 (42:22):
Because you also didn't assign Dak Prescott until three hours
before kickoff of your opening game. That's why. That's why
you didn't have that. So for me, when you have
another big contract lingering like that for a star player again,
you cannot wait until that point to do that again,
or you're gonna have a repeat of a really good
free agency class that you don't get to shop from.
(42:43):
You just get to sit back watch them all go
to your same division, probably because you know the Eagles
and the Commanders, They're not just gonna window shop. They're
gonna say, take my card, spend it right now, cash like.
They're not playing around with that. So for me, unless
Mica gets signed quickly, it's just hopeful thinking and hopeful wishing.
(43:07):
And that's just the reality of it. And hopefully that's
not what it becomes. But until you have the money
and the space freedop, you can't do.
Speaker 4 (43:15):
Much Before we go, What would y'all if y'all had
to describe how the Cowboys are moving so far in
free agency in this off season, but you have to
describe it as well. Compare it to a type of food, Yes, okay,
compare the way the Cowboys are moving this free agency
to the type of food.
Speaker 5 (43:37):
I got one. There could be a meal, Okay.
Speaker 4 (43:43):
I'm looking at it one I'll think, Okay, I got one.
Speaker 5 (43:47):
Go ahead.
Speaker 6 (43:48):
It's like hubachi, you gotta way today, will out that thing.
You gotta trust the process. The fire might scare you,
but you might be a little entertained. Like listen, courses,
you get, get the salad, you get the whole thing,
and you might be fool by the time you get there.
(44:09):
I hope they not.
Speaker 5 (44:11):
I got mine. What I'm gonna go. I'm gonna go
a soul full meal.
Speaker 4 (44:16):
I say that because like and I mean like like
the fried pork chops, mac and cheese, yeah, all that.
And I'm gonna say that because like it tastes good
right now, right but like you know how like when
you eat like heavy food, it's like dang dang until
proven otherwise, as right now it feels great, it feels good. However,
(44:37):
I don't want that feeling like that too much, like
it was too much to do.
Speaker 6 (44:42):
You know what I'm saying, And I get what you're saying, right,
you don't want it to be too high?
Speaker 5 (44:48):
Yeah, I don't want to. I don't want to like
regret the food that I ate. If that makes sense.
That's deep because like last year, that's deep.
Speaker 4 (44:58):
Last year, I feel like waiting so long until day
near training camp of bring other guys in there, Like it.
Speaker 5 (45:05):
Was kind of like a feeling like crap.
Speaker 6 (45:07):
Yeah, I don't like this, and you can't rush good food.
Speaker 7 (45:11):
That's also I know.
Speaker 6 (45:13):
Yeah, I hate it when it happens.
Speaker 7 (45:16):
I gotta I think I gotta bring out the air fyer.
Speaker 8 (45:17):
We talked about it. I got my I got my
air fryer, and I got my pizza. And the Cowboys
are pizza because listen, that is the one food, in
my opinion, you can reheat. And you're reheating a little
bit of what we got shot is a reheat, but
it could still be good and I still might that.
Speaker 6 (45:32):
Okay, oh god.
Speaker 7 (45:35):
But you have to use the air fryer. It's my
coach and staff. Ye shot my pizza. All right, I'm
gonna go chips and salsa because you gotta like pace
yourself when it comes to chips and salsa, right So
like if you order them at the beginning of the meal,
you're just going and going and going with your chips
and salsa. So right now they're going, but they got
(45:57):
to pace themselves otherwise otherwise AKA signed Michael Parsons. If
they don't, they're not gonna eat their meal. They're not
gonna eat their mealk because they ate too much chips
and salsa. Being from New Mexico, I know how that be. Like,
I get it, so I'll have to get it to
go box, to go box, but then it doesn't taste
as good the next day exactly.
Speaker 5 (46:16):
So no, all right, this has been fun.
Speaker 4 (46:21):

This is Girls Talk Boys Talk, presented by Invisi Line,
trusted by over five hundred NFL players for their winning smiles,
and broadcasting live from Dallas Cowboys World headquarters at the Star.
Now your host, Nicole Hutchison.
Speaker 4 (00:40):
Hello, Welcome in to Girls Talk Boys Talk, presented by
Invisi Line.
Speaker 5 (00:44):
Here in the s WBC studio.
Speaker 4 (00:46):
I'm Nicole Hutchinson alongside Ayisha Morrison, Jessinavares, and Brianna Aldridge.
Speaker 5 (00:51):
We got some good news, ladies.
Speaker 4 (00:53):
What's up by the way, Okay, seem ad mood like,
what a a great day.
Speaker 6 (01:01):
This is a good start.
Speaker 5 (01:02):
It is good start. It is Cowboys have signed well extended.
Speaker 4 (01:06):
Also, did you do to a four year, eighty million
dollar deal that it's fifty two guarantee that means twenty
million per year?
Speaker 5 (01:13):
My math ain't that great.
Speaker 4 (01:14):
But I'm not gonna count the money worth worth every part,
every penny worth, every penny worth, every penny of it.
I mean, just the first reactions from you ladies when
you guys saw the news.
Speaker 7 (01:24):
Beaming but not surprised to be honest, I'm glad he
got his money here, but I'm interested to see I'm
interested to kind of poke around and hear what other
suitors there could have been for him. But like we
had talked about, he wanted to stay in Dallas. We
knew that. And I'm really glad that he has a
(01:47):
long tenure here with the Cowboys. Good locker room guy,
great lead by example guy, great on the field, production,
draft and develop, has been there worth every dang penny.
In my opinion, I can oh, Diggy do it.
Speaker 5 (02:02):
That good girl, go to it.
Speaker 7 (02:06):
I'm in a great move today, I am.
Speaker 8 (02:11):
I'm proud of the Cowboys for getting this done because
I was getting scared.
Speaker 7 (02:15):
We talked about it last week, the.
Speaker 8 (02:16):
Franchise tag rumors, and I remember I told you guys,
I didn't like it.
Speaker 5 (02:20):
I hate it.
Speaker 7 (02:21):
I didn't like it.
Speaker 8 (02:22):
Yeah, it's it's basically, we want you, but we don't
know how to keep you, and we're stalling until literally July,
and then that's when it would have really put the
pressure on. But why, I think this is a good
sign because now it means let's focus on Micah Parsons,
Let's get that done next.
Speaker 5 (02:40):
And I think.
Speaker 8 (02:41):
It shows that, you know, they can what we've been
talking about, they can develop and they can retain, and
I think it's a good step in the right direction.
That's why there's so much positivity at this table because again,
now you can start to work around the other pieces
and hopefully fast.
Speaker 7 (02:57):
But what is it for deadline today to make that choice.
So it's right on target.
Speaker 5 (03:02):
But they got it done. They got it done.
Speaker 4 (03:04):
I gotta defend the Cowboys though, on that just a
little bit, because there apparently were some other outside factors
that were kind of playing into the whole deal being
done and then the Cowboys having to decide that, Okay,
we're gonna possibly put him franchise tag Osa.
Speaker 5 (03:17):
So I do have to not gonna be exact say
exactly what.
Speaker 4 (03:21):
Happened, but there were some outside factors on why this
whole deal had been a little bit delayed.
Speaker 5 (03:26):
But I should have.
Speaker 6 (03:27):
Bad which is no, you're fine, that's what come on, reporter,
what you're here for. But no, I agree with you, ladies.
I think the deal was necessary and then given the
people would consider it a team friendly deal, but it's
really what he deserves and that you know. Fourteenth, I
think it's fourteenth or fifteenth. It'll make him the fourteenth
or fifteenth highest paid defensive tackle in the NFL, and
(03:50):
I think that that's fair given where he is. Obviously,
we got to see an uptick in his play towards
the latter part of the season, and I think if
that is. If that is, then you're getting a hell
of a good player. Furthermore, when you look within ebra
flu system and the way that he likes to play football,
it is very contingent on his front four being strong
(04:13):
and being able to win in one on one situations
and not having to come with a lot of blitzes
and things like that. And ohso Digizua, as we know,
is a gentleman that has passed rush ability. I think
he's a stabilizer. So I'm happy. But this also allows
you to go into the draft, into free agency and
things like that. Again, I saw Calvin Watkin's suite. Hey,
this is not going to stop Dallas from attacking the
(04:35):
DT position in free agency and draft, and thank God,
have mercy. I would hope you, but you have a
foundational piece. He's earned this contract and I'm looking forward
to him being here in the future. So I thought
it was a smart move, and as we're going to
talk about, it frees up some of your finances to
do some of the other things as well. That cowboys
(04:56):
seem like they're cooking a little bit right now, so
let them could. I don't know what to say.
Speaker 5 (05:00):
I don't know.
Speaker 6 (05:00):
If I listen, I don't know. I don't know if
it's a slow cooker, I don't know if it's a
rock pile.
Speaker 4 (05:06):
As long as they're talking about air frying.
Speaker 7 (05:09):
Stuff, as long as they cook, babe.
Speaker 6 (05:14):
It depends on what's necessary. Oh dang can cook a
lot of stuff in the air fry quick, but sometimes
it need to be in the crock pike.
Speaker 7 (05:22):
Well, it depends what you're making.
Speaker 6 (05:23):
That's what I'm saying. So we're trying to make you
need Well.
Speaker 5 (05:27):
What are you using to now cook?
Speaker 4 (05:28):
If you're the cowboys money, I'm still trying to decide.
I don't know, Like what type of cooker are y'all using?
Speaker 5 (05:33):
I don't know. It depends on the play.
Speaker 7 (05:35):
It depends on the player. If they need to simmer
in a better deal that's worth their time and money,
they need to simmer however, also deal it's like an
air fryer deal. Like to set it a little bit
longer than you normally would in the air fier, but
like you got it done. They make it up a
lot of different They're using the whole kitchen to cook.
Speaker 4 (05:52):
All right, Okay, all talking in a different language right now.
Speaker 6 (05:56):
I'm sorry.
Speaker 7 (05:56):
I shouldn't take it so like it really only makes Oops,
you're outsing the wrong person.
Speaker 4 (06:01):
All right, Let's go ahead and take a listen to
what OsO Diggi Zoo had to say. Patrick and I
had a chance to hear what he had to say
about this deal, and.
Speaker 5 (06:09):
Go ahead and take it away, Jazzy Cornerstone.
Speaker 9 (06:12):
Player by this franchise.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
You know, I feel like it just speaks to the
hard work that's paid off, consistently working in day day out,
you know, and just making those deposits finally paying off.
Speaker 10 (06:25):
You know.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
I can now look at my mom and be like,
you never have to work again, and that's really what
this has all been about, you know, So being able
to do that. Uh, still it's still kind of registering,
you know what I mean. It doesn't even feel real
at this point, so, you know, just kind of soaking
it in.
Speaker 9 (06:45):
What's the first thing that came to mind when you
got the call that done deal. You're gonna be with
the Cowboys another four years, eighty million dollars.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
It's awesome, you know what I mean? I love Dallas,
loved playing for this organization, love being a Cowboys. So
the fact that I to do it for another four
years get very very large playing Chris to do it.
It's not that I wasn't already happy doing the work,
but just get to have an even bigger smile on
my face when I come in the building.
Speaker 9 (07:12):
What's the the first thing you're gonna do now that
you've got this deal? So you want a Disney World?
Speaker 2 (07:23):
Yeah, don't judge me, but I'm actually gonna work out later.
You did.
Speaker 9 (07:28):
One last question? Now having been made a cornerstone player
in this franchise with matt Evin Flus coming back into
the building, but as a defensive coordinator role. The way
he runs schemes, his three tech he's been he himself
with ebra Flues has hit the three tech is the
engine that drives his defense. What does that mean for
you going forward with ebra Flus and just what can
(07:49):
this defense be in twenty twenty five coming off of
an injury, Ravisour.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
You know, I think the injuries are always there's always
risk of injury, but just playing in this defense, it's
it's always fun to play in the defense that emphasize
the D line, especially as a D lineman and a
three tech one that I feel like myself being versatile,
having many skill sets. So playing for a coach that
recognizes that and is trying to, you know, put that
on display and make that the main thing and just
(08:17):
kind of use that to the full potential is going
to be a lot of fun.
Speaker 5 (08:22):
I know I'm able one question, just real fast.
Speaker 4 (08:24):
I know I'm able to get you tomorrow, but I
do want to ask, this is now your third DC.
Speaker 5 (08:28):
In three years.
Speaker 4 (08:28):
What's the challenge for you and just learning new systems
every year.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
I mean, I feel like it's gonna be good just
giving what Shaddy has said, you know what I mean.
I like the way he thinks, and I'm getting the
same vibe from coach Fluce. They're gonna put us into
positions to do what we do well, so you know,
learning the scheme stuff like that, that's not something that
I really struggle with. I feel like I do a
good job of getting my plays down very quickly. Not
(08:57):
a guy that has a lot of mental error. So
just you know, learning that and then finding my ways
and my opportunities to make plays within that is going
to be a lot of fun.
Speaker 4 (09:07):
It's going to be a lot of fun seeing Osa
for the next four years. Heila, I'm crying, but just
I mean, what was the best takeaway.
Speaker 5 (09:16):
From just hearing what you have to say?
Speaker 6 (09:18):
Ladies?
Speaker 7 (09:19):
Well, first of all, don't let himool you. That man's
a full on Disney adult. I don't let fool you. Yes,
he's a Disney adult, Disney adult. But you know what, like,
aside from everything he said about his mom, Like we
could go on and on about that, but something that
stood out to me, Matt Eberflu's really just started. He
just called him coach Flues. I don't know if anybody
(09:40):
else got onto that. I was like, ooh, we got
a good little spark between your DT and your DC,
And to me, that should get you excited. And for me,
when I hear Osa talk about how mental mistakes aren't
really a thing for him and he picks up on schemes,
well he's shown that. And I think the way Osa
attacks this game is so mentally tough that he really
(10:05):
does hone in on things I think in a way
that benefits him on the field mentally and and how
he absorbs information is is definitely something that I wish
I could do because the way his brain works, I'm like, dang,
that's crazy. But yeah, the coach flews that, I was like, oh,
all right, good, we're already in conversations and that means
(10:26):
good things ahead hopefully.
Speaker 8 (10:27):
Yeah, it's like a it's like a perfect I don't
want to say a story but ending because he's got
four years here to go. But this is like the
perfect full circle moment for him the franchise because you
have to think about it, like I, you know, I
talked to analysts all year round. Osa's not the guy
that everyone's talking about because you have Michael Parsons right there.
(10:48):
So I feel like this is just like a surreal
moment because you can he's put in the work, right,
He's coming off his best season. He deserves this money,
like everyone is saying, and it's noticed and recognized, and
there's a lot of changes that are coming into this.
So like Justic's point to hear him confident in not
only his new DC but his new head coach.
Speaker 7 (11:07):
This is perfect.
Speaker 8 (11:08):
This is in if it works out right, because now
it's the same thing the pressure we saw it. I
mean DAK has always had the pressure, but when you
pay CD and you're talking about okay, they need a
number two while a lot of people are like, well,
you just made CD the high one of the highest
paid players for his respective position.
Speaker 7 (11:26):
So no, he's got to figure it out. He's got
to hold up that end.
Speaker 8 (11:28):
I think it's the same pressure as on DAK, and
I think a lot of this pressure will now go on.
Oh so like, okay, you just paid this man, what
is it fifty what guaranteed that he's getting it to Yes,
So that's gonna it's gonna require a little on pressure.
So I'm very interested to see how he steps up
to it. And like he says, he feels like he
has the coaches who are going to utilize what he
does best.
Speaker 5 (11:47):
So I'm very excited for him.
Speaker 7 (11:48):
And it's it's like a little goosebump moment.
Speaker 6 (11:50):
Yeah, I agree. A couple of the things he said
stood out first, talking about his mom and I and
I think we hear players say this all the time,
but to me, it resonates because it is a reminder
of what they do it for and a lot of
the time, you know, we talk about it. This league
is short for a lot of guys, and a lot
(12:12):
of guys don't see a second contract. And for him
to get to that point and you know, obviously feel
some weight taking off of him to do some of
the things that he's desired to do in his life
for his family is something that I cherish as well.
But also to I think you asked Nicole in regard
to the changes in the system and the challenges and
(12:34):
having to install a new system now to think about
Ebraflusive system, and I think this is why the guys
aren't as like when you ask them. I think this
isn't the first time we've heard a player talk about it,
and they're just like yeah, because ebraflucis system and the
way that he does things has been around for a while.
Like I said, it's not super flashy and fancy and
(12:55):
things like that. He just allows guys to be themselves
like he like they mentioned, but also too, you go,
you just go win out there, you know. So to me,
I think that the system transition may be a little
and I could be guessing, but that's just me. It
may be a little smoother than what it was with
Zimmer because zimmer system, in the way he runs things
(13:17):
is very exotic, very a lot of disguising and things
like that. That's not Eberflus's vibe. Even though I know
he is gonna get busy with Micah and Osa and
kind of moving them around. So I'm I'm not as
worried about them, uh retaining what this new system is
gonna be. Like, I'm not as worried as I think
I was before.
Speaker 7 (13:37):
Do you also feel like it was It's less of
a I want to say culture shock with lack of
a better term than it was from Dan Quinn to
Mike Zimmer last year.
Speaker 6 (13:48):
Yeah, I mean I would say, I would say, I don't.
I don't know much about Eberflus's temperament. I don't know
if you.
Speaker 4 (13:55):
Ladies finds just a chill guy, like a dance he
gives me, Dan guys with the guy honestly, Yeah, No,
I mean I don't.
Speaker 6 (14:04):
I don't think it is for them because, like I said,
they can look within other schemes in the NFL and
see some of what he does. I think that Zimmer
was very specific to like what his tools he had
were like and how to navigate them, and I think
we start to see that later in the season, just
kind of how he was putting guys together and finding
like different different lineups and rotations. But I think it's
(14:28):
you know, you went up front, went up front before,
and life's going to be easier in general for you,
And that's kind of what el Flu stands by.
Speaker 5 (14:35):
So I also got some other roster news. The Cowboys
are retaining CJ. Goodwin.
Speaker 4 (14:39):
They he's a greet to terms and will turned on
a one year deal, So that is also some news.
Speaker 7 (14:45):
That's a good Win.
Speaker 4 (14:48):
I'm sorry, bro, Like she says it and then you
don't catch it to you're like, yeah.

I'm only asking. I'm only asking because I know some
people that would love the aka my parents, not the
parent kid of the games. Sometimes I don't know.
Speaker 4 (18:00):
We'll see, you know what else Some people love or
may not love. I don't know if the Cowboys will
love this.
Speaker 7 (18:04):
But I love the transition.
Speaker 5 (18:05):
Here comes great. I know it was a question, breu
what they know? The answer? Yes, all right, Deo Samuel
is joining Washington. Yeah, I don't ye. I don't think
they love that though, Yeah they don't love that. They could,
I don't know, depends. But also Saequon Barkley signed to UH.
Speaker 4 (18:23):
He got a two year, forty one million dollar contract
extension with the Eagles. Now that deal makes Barkley the
NFL's first twenty million plus per year running back.
Speaker 5 (18:33):
Can we now talk about how much that is.
Speaker 4 (18:35):
Going to probably affect what Rico Dala wants if he
wants to resign here in Dallas, which I'll think.
Speaker 7 (18:41):
Yeah, I mean, I am glad that that running back
market just got uped though like that it's that reset
the market for the running back. So that does work
in any running backs favor right now, including Rico. What
I do think is, I think when we now when
we think of free agency, like, oh, dan Quinn's gonna
be at it again, and dan Quinn doesn't let a
(19:02):
moment pass without inquiring, which is a great reputation to have,
right So automatically you think, oh, you know, all of
the laundry lists of free agents could very well jump
ship go to Washington and they know what they're getting
into dan Quinn. My mind kind of goes there for Rico.
But now, if you want a little positive spin, maybe
(19:23):
with Debo going to Washington, that gives the Cowboys maybe
a one up they might not have had if they
didn't retain him in free agency, to maybe have a
better chance of retaining Rico if that's what they want
to do. That's the only I mean, really, you just
don't know yet.
Speaker 5 (19:42):
I just don't know.
Speaker 7 (19:43):
The running back room is such a question mark.
Speaker 5 (19:45):
You just don't know.
Speaker 7 (19:46):
Yeah, I think it's at it's gonna be.
Speaker 8 (19:48):
It's gonna be interesting because I mean the running back
position overall, like it's just so it's really not fair
because their bodies are getting worked, in my opinion, the hardest,
and their careers are the shortest, and they don't get
paid as much. That's why mister James Cook, who just
put up franchise rushing numbers for Buffalo, is saying I
(20:11):
want fifteen mil, and everyone was like, you're insane. But
any other player, if that was a wide receiver, it's
a totally different ballgames. So in that aspect. But I
think Rico, I'm not sure who he's represented by, but
I think you still have to be realistic on the
type of season he had, although for him is coming
off career best, I don't think we could sit here
(20:33):
and compare him to a Sa Kwan.
Speaker 5 (20:35):
Yeah please, oh fact. Yeah.
Speaker 8 (20:37):
And I think I think I'm just saying that because
I think the number game is going to be interesting
on what he's asked, and he he should stand on
business and on his own I don't think the Cowboys
personally respected him as a running back, especially towards the
beginning of that season.
Speaker 6 (20:52):
He really had to prove it.
Speaker 8 (20:53):
And I think I said it earlier before when we
first got together, that I think he held his own
in a respectable man.
Speaker 6 (21:00):
I don't think.
Speaker 8 (21:00):
Everyone in this league, I think, have a tendency to
go to social media and kind of make a stir
or we'll talk to the media after. You know, hearing
running back by committee when you're clearly the running back
one in that room at that time has to be frustrating,
and I think he handled.
Speaker 6 (21:14):
It very well.
Speaker 8 (21:15):
He was always very respectful, you know, even after a
tough loss or he didn't get the ball as much
as he wanted. It was just like, I'm just going
to keep proving myself that I'm running back one. I'm
just going to keep coming back. And that's what he
did and that's how he ended. But again, if I'm
the Cowboys, I'm going to try to keep him because
I think the loyalty there and that's the type of
player you want in your locker room.
Speaker 6 (21:35):
And so yeah, I shared this sentiment on most most
guys in the league aren't Saquon So's facts. Yeah, I mean,
it's just that he is a difference making running back.
But also too, another thing that's going to affect the
market is that even though Saquon got that money and
other people might be asking for some more money, this
(21:56):
is one of the best running back draft classes we
have seen in a long time. So if you think
people ain't gonna go cheap, young just as explosive, if
not more explosive. Obviously too, there is an uptick in
why running backs having receiver type capabilities. If you don't
(22:17):
have that, it's almost like a knock on your uh,
your play. So for me, I really feel for the
market the running backs that are here in the NFL
right now, because it is very hard to think that
teams are not going to pick up a rookie because
you can maybe get one into the fourth, fifth round
(22:38):
in this draft and be like, oh he can play.
Now it gets different like towards like the start of
the fourth I would say, but you might look up
and get a guy in the fifth that is a
good player. So with that being said, Sequon Saquon, y'all
can they can? The running backs can ask for their money.
They deserve it. And I think Rico, like you ladies
were saying, I think Rico being here, you need foundational pieces,
(23:02):
You need stabilizers. You need guys to be able to
show some of these young guys around and stuff. So
I would like for him to be here. But Cowboys
also need to be trying to pick up a running
back in this draft.
Speaker 4 (23:14):
Class as well. What do you think the next step
is for Dallas? Of course we're seeing the different reports
of C. J.
Speaker 5 (23:19):
Goodwin.
Speaker 4 (23:19):
Of course we can expect some other special teams guys
UH to have some have a deal done as well soon.
But as far as the foundational pieces, I feel like
you were mentioning, who do you feel like should be
next outside of Michael Parsons.
Speaker 5 (23:33):
No, that's that's a given. Michael Parsons who should be next?
Speaker 6 (23:39):
Well with them freeing up some of the kids as
they have right now, it should be it should? I
saw David Moore allude to a why I laugh, Sorry,
we were just thinking about the same thing, my bad.
Should it should allow you to retain guys like a
Jordan Lewis if you want to ye again in your
cornerback room. Yeah, really Will Smith and that room right now.
Speaker 7 (24:00):
Like that's but coming off of but coming off of
injuries as well. Yes, track it repetitive everybody in that room.
Speaker 6 (24:09):
So for that, I think you would sign him back.
I don't know what's gonna happen with the defensive end room,
because Lord have mercy, if I'm if my if I'm
looking at it from what I think is is right now,
set in stone, Micah, Marshawn, Kneeland, OsO Adiggizua period and
a Masi and Mazi sorry, Mazi and Mazi. So and
(24:32):
that's it. You ain't got no rotation, you ain't got
none of that right now. And these guys legs get heavy,
so they also need to be looking at like defensive
end and what's going to happen there. So yeah, it's
a lot going. Yeah, it is a lot, but you
can I think they can attack it. I think they
can do what they need to do to to at
(24:54):
least push the team forward or to at least just
again just stabilize the team. Like a few weeks ago,
we were in a panic because it's like what's happening
right now, Like we have no idea what this roster
is going to look like now with some of these
guys being signed back, it's like, okay, well we can
we can stand, we can stamp that, and you can
start feeling and once you get the foundational places you
you can start looking at Okay, I need a role
(25:16):
player here, where I need this guy here? And then
a free agency Winisterry I just he starts around the corner.
Speaker 7 (25:21):
Coming, it's around.
Speaker 6 (25:23):
It's around the corner. So going into the draft, not
having to push for need and things like that is
the best thing to do. And this does feel like
they're trying to do that. And here's a cookie for it. Yeah,
the cookies from the airplane. Oh those are good Christie's cookies. Yeah, alright, No,
(25:45):
you're fine.
Speaker 4 (25:46):
Sorry, Samuel off to Washington and uh that was for
a fifth round pick.
Speaker 6 (25:50):
Ladies by fifth fifth Unliff Kingsbury is going to have
a field day, you know.
Speaker 5 (25:59):
J and Daniels gonna have a field day.
Speaker 7 (26:01):
Sorry, I'm just gonna say, yeah, division, I've been sick
seeing everybody else have a field day. So just keep
on this trajectory of doing things at the right time
with the right people so you can have yourself a
field day like I I am glad that this happened
(26:21):
now with Osa and then C. J. Goodwin and all
the places, all the pieces seem to fall be falling
in place to get the right players like we're talking about.
But they have to continue to do that with retaining
but also adding additions that make sense in the places
you're gonna be able to need plug and play that
you don't really necessarily have time to draft and develop.
(26:42):
So sure, cool, but like let's keep it going. Yeah,
don't slow down.
Speaker 6 (26:47):
Yeah, here's your division, full pedal. Your division is continued
to get better. And the thing about Debot and bringing
Debo in when you look at Washington and you look
at when they started to struggle, is when Terry McLaurin
seemed like he was like the piece because obviously they
sent Johan Dotson over to Philly d and now has
a ring and I just want to throw up, But
they needed another receiving option. They needed another and they
(27:08):
needed more familiar Yeah, and they need more from their
run game. And I think that they will get that
the mixture of both with Debo. Obviously he's dealt with
some injuries this last couple of years or whatever, so
I think a fresh star would be good for him
as well. But yeah, they're addressing something that they saw
hamper their offensive production. And Debo was available, so go
get it. Do what you gotta do, I guess and.
Speaker 8 (27:29):
I know, but how it's just what they got, what
they gave up to get it. It was And I just
want like, is there a class where like the Cowboys
can figure out how they get a little splashed with
the fifth round pick a later pick because this fourth.
Speaker 7 (27:46):
Round game is gonna say.
Speaker 6 (27:47):
I just think it's the approach they You know, they've
expressed multiple times that they don't call people, that they
wait for people to call. That's so if that's your mentality,
that's that's not how football work. Like that, Like you
need to be the aggressor sometimes it is up to you,
because baby, I know, the scouts are the area of
(28:09):
scouts and stuff are bringing players and like, hey, this
guy's on the prize. Hey this guy got a little
song going on over there. You might want to go
scoop them up, Like I'm not. The scouts are doing
their job. It's like, what do you so for them?
They may have to change their approach.
Speaker 7 (28:21):
And you know what, I'm interested to see as well,
we're talking in terms of free agency, how the UFL
kind of plays into that as well, and how not
having a bones fossil eye could also impact that because
when you have a bones fossil hand selecting Akvante Turpin
and a brand and Aubrey like, that's kind of I
know that's not his key focus is scouting, but he
got you too literal gems in the rough.
Speaker 6 (28:44):
Yeah, so I for a talent.
Speaker 7 (28:45):
I'm interested to see, you know, kind of that aspect
as well, and if the Cowboys continue that route with
looking in kind of areas that maybe are overlooked.
Speaker 15 (28:55):
Sometimes I'm just I'm hyped up to see free agency
like they at me thinking they're gonna do just.
Speaker 7 (29:06):
A little bit.
Speaker 5 (29:06):
Let me show y'all, because I got show y'all.
Speaker 4 (29:08):
Because normally when free agency comes around, I dread it.
Speaker 6 (29:11):
Yeah, I dread it because I.
Speaker 8 (29:12):
Just be like, I don't I don't want to see
high former high draft picks from other teams that didn't
work and try to make it work here.
Speaker 7 (29:21):
That's what I don't want to see.
Speaker 6 (29:23):
I'm scared, let's see it.
Speaker 7 (29:25):
But that's that's what I hope, not like there's just.
Speaker 8 (29:30):
There's so much opportunity and they're restructuring and they're going
to continue. So at least like today, today was a
big step, So I don't want to get greedy. Big
step and now see what else that they can gather
up in free agency because there are there are some
some guys that are available that could really help.

We have some fun?
Speaker 7 (32:55):
Wow, so much fun? I love fun.
Speaker 5 (32:57):
Why are you looking at me like you stressed?
Speaker 7 (33:00):
Shit?
Speaker 5 (33:01):
Why I feel like she?
Speaker 7 (33:02):
You and her have different definitions of fun. Betimes very true,
because your fund can be a little traumatizing for us
depending on what it is.
Speaker 6 (33:10):
Can be making me stressed.
Speaker 5 (33:14):
What you gotta think for this one?
Speaker 4 (33:15):
All right, it's gonna be called wild card free agent.
Just hear me out, all right, you're gon choose a
player who's somewhat of a bit of a stretch in
terms of like they've had a down year this past season,
or they've had injury concerns, but they could possibly hit
their potential if they signed with the Cowboys and could
(33:36):
be a game changer.
Speaker 7 (33:37):
Oh, you already know who I'm gonna say.
Speaker 6 (33:39):
You already know.
Speaker 7 (33:41):
It's obvious. It's obvious choice here.
Speaker 6 (33:43):
Very obvious. It's obvious.
Speaker 7 (33:45):
But it's a good choice. And let's let's talk about
why I have the notes here, all right. I did
read earlier for multiple articles and reporters that the Rams
are open to keeping him. So that's also why it's
a little reach here, because that could be a possibility. However,
you can work out of the slot to get open
over the middle receiver. Who's the only other guy that
(34:06):
was doing that this season other than Jake CD anybody
that's right exactly that it's a silence, correct, that's that
was the correct answer. There is an injury history like
you're talking about. However, I think this would work in
Cooper Cup's favor to have such a young receiving room
because you have a rotation of guys very much similar
(34:29):
to how I think they wanted to use Brandon Cooks
but never did. So he's not getting the full on
reps every single time, which in turn would create a
longevity for how much he's able to play. If he
were to come somewhere here with a younger room, only
thing is.
Speaker 5 (34:45):
The money.
Speaker 7 (34:46):
The money would talk, and I think that's when other
contract restructures would have to come into play. He would
do a twelve point five million salary base cap hit
with a seven point five million ross your bonus. That
any team that acquires him would have to pick up.
So if you do the math with what the Cowboys
have available after the CD restruction, these deals math and
(35:09):
math in However, there's other contracts, bigger contracts, Trayvon Dak
you could restructure to make it happen. It's a stretch,
but I do think he'd be a really good fit here,
and you also want that veteran presence if they don't
retain Brandon Cooks. I just think that's always a good idea,
especially for a receiver. Yeah that's my that's my pitch. Okay,
go for it, Go ahead. Me just piggyback off what
(35:32):
you said.
Speaker 8 (35:33):
I like the Cooper Cup because I feel like it's
a it's someone from the Cat that's not gonna overpower
sheety because I've seen like like Devonte Adams. That was
something I saw coming into here, and I was like,
this too big of a personality to match it with CD,
if that makes sense. So I was like kind of
piggyback on you said no money, money, money talks.
Speaker 10 (35:53):
I don't.
Speaker 6 (35:54):
I don't think that was gonna work for that reason.
Speaker 8 (35:56):
But if I had to pool now I know no
call you talked about someone who had a down year,
if you will. It's more of a person who again
something similar to we talked about what the Eagles were
able to do to get that person who was one
point I think five million.
Speaker 6 (36:10):
And it worked out.
Speaker 8 (36:12):
Pooniford a nose tackle from the Chargers. That's who I
wrote down. I think what he's able to do not
only plug in for upfront in the trenches, but I've
seen him being able to do the double team. We've
talked about that a lot. Who can actually do that.
I think he comes in and he's an impact player.
He's twenty nine years old. I could see him signing
(36:34):
a two year deal when I looked up what about
what he would get? Mind, he just signed a one
year prove it year for one point five. The Chargers
obviously want to keep them, but they're in the same
situation as the Cowboys where they're looking at twenty six
plus free agents that they're working around who are bigger
names than Punifford, and he's would be hitting about just
(36:55):
under seven meal, which I think is doable, especially when
you're just restructured CD and that opened up twenty million
in cap space. You haven't even touched Dak there's other
things you can do. I don't think if you're not
hitting double digits. I think it's something that you're trying
to bring in, especially if you're really trying to be
serious upfront, and when you're talking about the type of
(37:15):
division when again the Commanders are adding, the Eagles are adding,
and twenty nine years old, that's that's when you want
to get them.
Speaker 6 (37:24):
Yeah. No, I'm glad that you went defensive defensive tackle.
Come on, girl, I ain't gonna be too greedy. I
got a couple, but I'm gonna say Jared Reid the
interior defensive tackle for the Seahawks. He had an injury
Week eighteen. He was not able to start that with
a knee injury. He started every game last year, but
(37:44):
got banged up towards the end. Not sure if the
Seattle Seahawks feel the knee to retain him, because they
did go out in the draft and get some you
know guys then, and also too, I think because you're
white linebacker of the Arizona Cardinals. Arizona Cardinals aren't that
good this year, so he had a down year. This
(38:09):
is a guy that has a lot of range and
plays with some ferocity. I mean, no one's gonna replace
a de Marveian overshown. But I will say that the
Cowboys linebacker is another position that has been riddled with injuries.
We don't know if they are going to uh bring
back an Airic Kendricks. If they don't, then they are
probably gonna be in the business of looking for a
(38:30):
veteran linebacker. This is a gentleman that I think would
be not only be affordable, but would also make your
team better as well. So or Nick Bolton if that's
really what you're gonna do now. Gray Greenlaw interests me,
But is he too like I thought personally? I thought
he came back real quick, real quick, real quick, real quick,
(38:50):
and then obviously he injured re injured himself again. But
Drake Greenlaw is someone that I think despite his injuries,
people are gonna take a look at him. People are
gonna take a look at him. Maybe the Coways do.
But I would be addressing the defensive side. Sounds like
you want to go offense, which I'm totally down with
the offense too. What I was gonna go receiver and
I was gonna talk about de hop only.
Speaker 7 (39:10):
Because we can knew that we knew.
Speaker 4 (39:14):
No, you need a veteran receiver in here and someone
to play with Ceedee Lamb on the opposite side.
Speaker 2 (39:19):
Uh.
Speaker 5 (39:19):
And you look at obviously.
Speaker 4 (39:21):
You could claim his twenty twenty four season as a
down year.
Speaker 5 (39:25):
Just because postseason.
Speaker 4 (39:28):
Why And he had six ten yards receiving yards, five touchdown,
three catches twenty nine yards in the postseason alone. So
I would say that's a down down here for him,
considering he's had seven one thousand yard seasons. Of course,
three first team All Pro selections, five time Pro Bowler,
but he's now what thirty.
Speaker 5 (39:45):
Two years old. I believe I'm mistaken, So it won't
be as I'll say.
Speaker 6 (39:52):
I won't.
Speaker 5 (39:53):
It won't say it's gonna be cheap.
Speaker 4 (39:55):
But certainly, if you want someone to come in here
and be an impact player, you want to go.
Speaker 5 (40:00):
I like d Hop for sure.
Speaker 6 (40:01):
Yeah, And I think he's still Kansas City's offense and
the way that they were running, some of the stuff
they had going on, especially from the offensive line perspective,
Patrick was running from for his life, and so for me,
I do think I agree. I think he still has
something in the tank, So I would be open to
that too. This free agency class in general has some
(40:22):
good players absolutely, So that's why it's like we can
go every position and be like, yeah we could. Cowboys
do have an opportunity to really get some good players
in this in this free agency and again going to
the draft being like, okay, now we can put the
sprinkles on top.
Speaker 7 (40:39):
You know, it'd be great to sign micat first, so
you have the money to play around with because otherwise
you're just window shopping.
Speaker 6 (40:45):
Which is odd too, because.
Speaker 7 (40:47):
The market is set.
Speaker 5 (40:48):
You know, you want Mike on the team.
Speaker 7 (40:50):
I'm not really here that that's just howthy that's just
how it is.
Speaker 5 (40:56):
What it is. It is.
Speaker 6 (40:57):
No, no, no, no, no, no. I'm I mean I'm legitimately
looking forward to free agency. Yeah, I mean we're already
in it, key, That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 5 (41:06):
We're already in it.
Speaker 6 (41:06):
I mean signing back CJ. Goodwin, signing Osa, the restruction CD,
things like that. We're already in it right now, and
so they're trying to take it the guys here and yeah,
then we'll be able to move forward.
Speaker 5 (41:19):
So it's gonna be fun.
Speaker 6 (41:20):
Come on, team building. I think it will fine. I
think it will.
Speaker 7 (41:25):
I think I will I'm not trying to be pessimistic.
I'm really not. I just think you should enjoy this
feeling today.
Speaker 6 (41:32):
Well, what I will say is one thing that gives
me excitement is that I think the gentlemen, some of
the gentlemen that they brought in from a coaching perspective,
the new ocuh Clayton Adams. I watched the Cardinals, I
saw the rosters, I saw the offensive lines, and he
got good production out of not stars, not a bunch
(41:55):
of stars, not a bunch of fancy schmanchy people. This
is also too like, yeah, we want to attack free
agency and do things like that. But I do think
that this coaching staff has a plan for what they
want to do and that's going to help them be
able to look for what they need. Last year, I
felt like we were like this, like they missed a
crabs me. Yeah, that's crazy.
Speaker 4 (42:13):
It seems like they all align with what they want
to do as well, like there's no.
Speaker 6 (42:16):
There's a clear cut plan. There's a clear cut plan,
and that's we didn't have that last year. We did
not have.
Speaker 7 (42:22):
Because you also didn't assign Dak Prescott until three hours
before kickoff of your opening game. That's why. That's why
you didn't have that. So for me, when you have
another big contract lingering like that for a star player again,
you cannot wait until that point to do that again,
or you're gonna have a repeat of a really good
free agency class that you don't get to shop from.
(42:43):
You just get to sit back watch them all go
to your same division, probably because you know the Eagles
and the Commanders, They're not just gonna window shop. They're
gonna say, take my card, spend it right now, cash like.
They're not playing around with that. So for me, unless
Mica gets signed quickly, it's just hopeful thinking and hopeful wishing.
(43:07):
And that's just the reality of it. And hopefully that's
not what it becomes. But until you have the money
and the space freedop, you can't do.
Speaker 4 (43:15):
Much Before we go, What would y'all if y'all had
to describe how the Cowboys are moving so far in
free agency in this off season, but you have to
describe it as well. Compare it to a type of food, Yes, okay,
compare the way the Cowboys are moving this free agency
to the type of food.
Speaker 5 (43:37):
I got one. There could be a meal, Okay.
Speaker 4 (43:43):
I'm looking at it one I'll think, Okay, I got one.
Speaker 5 (43:47):
Go ahead.
Speaker 6 (43:48):
It's like hubachi, you gotta way today, will out that thing.
You gotta trust the process. The fire might scare you,
but you might be a little entertained. Like listen, courses,
you get, get the salad, you get the whole thing,
and you might be fool by the time you get there.
(44:09):
I hope they not.
Speaker 5 (44:11):
I got mine. What I'm gonna go. I'm gonna go
a soul full meal.
Speaker 4 (44:16):
I say that because like and I mean like like
the fried pork chops, mac and cheese, yeah, all that.
And I'm gonna say that because like it tastes good
right now, right but like you know how like when
you eat like heavy food, it's like dang dang until
proven otherwise, as right now it feels great, it feels good. However,
(44:37):
I don't want that feeling like that too much, like
it was too much to do.
Speaker 6 (44:42):
You know what I'm saying, And I get what you're saying, right,
you don't want it to be too high?
Speaker 5 (44:48):
Yeah, I don't want to. I don't want to like
regret the food that I ate. If that makes sense.
That's deep because like last year, that's deep.
Speaker 4 (44:58):
Last year, I feel like waiting so long until day
near training camp of bring other guys in there, Like it.
Speaker 5 (45:05):
Was kind of like a feeling like crap.
Speaker 6 (45:07):
Yeah, I don't like this, and you can't rush good food.
Speaker 7 (45:11):
That's also I know.
Speaker 6 (45:13):
Yeah, I hate it when it happens.
Speaker 7 (45:16):
I gotta I think I gotta bring out the air fyer.
Speaker 8 (45:17):
We talked about it. I got my I got my
air fryer, and I got my pizza. And the Cowboys
are pizza because listen, that is the one food, in
my opinion, you can reheat. And you're reheating a little
bit of what we got shot is a reheat, but
it could still be good and I still might that.

coach and staff. Ye shot my pizza. All right, I'm
gonna go chips and salsa because you gotta like pace
yourself when it comes to chips and salsa, right So
like if you order them at the beginning of the meal,
you're just going and going and going with your chips
and salsa. So right now they're going, but they got

to pace themselves otherwise otherwise AKA signed Michael Parsons. If
they don't, they're not gonna eat their meal. They're not
gonna eat their mealk because they ate too much chips
and salsa. Being from New Mexico, I know how that be. Like,
I get it, so I'll have to get it to
go box, to go box, but then it doesn't taste
as good the next day exactly.
