Speaker 3 (00:56):
I'm Kyle Yeoman, So glad you're with us.
Speaker 4 (00:58):
We are gonna hit plenty of the story lines and
reaction off the West Coast. That Super Bowl sixty is
now in the book and we are fully into the
off season.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
Yeah we can start talking.
Speaker 6 (01:13):
Oh you know it's some team out of Seattle.
Speaker 3 (01:15):
Congrats to your city. It's all good man, y'all. Are
you gonna go to the parade?
Speaker 6 (01:19):
No, everybody in my in my friend chat, they're all going.
Speaker 3 (01:22):
They're all gone. Yeah, when is it? Is it today
or tomorrow?
Speaker 2 (01:24):
I don't know. I know my brother wherever. My brother's like,
I'm flying up, bro, like go have fuck, get after it.
I've been blessed to be in a parade.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
One Stephen Winter's food.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
I can tell you being in the par saying though
being in the parade was absolutely crazy.
Speaker 3 (01:44):
Oh do you remember most of that?
Speaker 6 (01:46):
Oh? I remember all of it.
Speaker 3 (01:47):
Okay, that's good.
Speaker 6 (01:48):
I'm hoping that it's all.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
My hard drive still because I had all my old
video footage from it, floppy disk. Bro looking up like
especially like in New York. Obviously, sure it was insane.
The building of skyscrapers is paper just flying out like
howardy people even like looking out the window that high
up and it just like it looked like confetti, obviously,
but people just throwing stuff out, the ripped papers, fans everywhere,
millions of people.
Speaker 6 (02:09):
It was insane. And then some day Kyle, yeah.
Speaker 7 (02:12):
Hopefully real nice to see some of that here in
the metroplan.
Speaker 4 (02:17):
They would have to shut down. I mean, just think
about it. Just I know fans are like, I don't
want to think about it. It's been thirty years. I
get it, I get it. But because of that weight,
and because of the way that the star and the
brand and everything is grown to what it is now,
could you imagine them having they would have to shut
down the toll way and just use the toll way
(02:37):
to go from Frisco to Dallas then to Arlington, and
then they would fill the state.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
I mean, it would be what would be that one real?
How would you The route would be the longest.
Speaker 6 (02:47):
That's actually perfect.
Speaker 7 (02:49):
You might have to shut down DNT and you just
let that be from Frisco all the way down and
then you know, just thirty five down.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
Nobody wants to hear about the other team. But the
other team that I was on when we won, we
did the parade right, So we did the parade route,
which was absolutely insane. After we finished the parade route,
we actually stopped at the I don't know what's city
Hall or something like that. It was something like that. Anyways,
we're down downtown. We get the key to the city.
So we're sitting down, we're chilling. Snipers are everywhere, Yeah, bro,
(03:18):
We're looking like, is that a freaking person up there? Like, yeah,
that's a sniper, bro. So we do the thing, we
get the key to the city. Right after we get
the key to the city, we get back on the
buses right and so now we're not outside the buses.
We're in the buses and we drive to the stadium.
When we get to the stadium, we go into the stadium,
we come out the tunnel, fog machines, all that kind
of stuff, and freaking Naughty by Nature is playing. Heyro
(03:42):
and the stadium is it's just lit packed people have
been out there or oh bro, it was turned. It
was so like it's like it felt like a movie.
Like the whole day felt like a movie. But the
cool thing, the best part was the fact that they
included the families. So they had a bus for like
the wives, you know what I'm saying, And I had
the bus for the wives and the kids and they
got a chance to experience as well. So like that
(04:04):
was for me the coolest part, because it's like it's
one thing for you to experience it, but it's another
thing for them at that time for them to include
your families to be a.
Speaker 6 (04:11):
Part of it.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
So in the future, you know, Cowboys Nation, hopefully when
that day occurs, hopefully the organization will include the families
as well.
Speaker 8 (04:19):
Yeah, well that they will feel a little emptier now, guys,
I know, because we lost one Missus Price.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
Yes sucks man, or maybe you brought that up.
Speaker 8 (04:30):
I really did want to do a quick shout out
to her, because if you've been to a Dallas Cowboys game,
there is no doubt about it. You have seen her,
You've heard her, You've heard her one hundred percent. We
got a little tribute to miss Price beam if you
want to hit it real quick. I think we're going
(04:53):
to keep that as a part of get your Popcorn ready,
show nice at infinite.
Speaker 4 (04:57):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 8 (04:58):
Like I as a fan to see a fan that
committed basically my whole time being a fan. She's been
a fan forever, right, but seeing her at every game
always being a staple of seeing the Dallas Cowboys in person,
I mean, yeah, just a huge loss and shouts to
her and uh yeah, that's really really sad.
Speaker 6 (05:17):
She's just the sweetest thing.
Speaker 7 (05:20):
Just if you've ever had the pleasure of coming across
his Price, whether it been at the stadium or when
she travels to Oxnard and we'll see her at training camp,
you just couldn't meet a bigger hearted, just sweetie.
Speaker 6 (05:33):
She was just the sweetest thing.
Speaker 7 (05:36):
Of course, when you know during the practices and when
the games kick off, you know, she gets she gets fired,
she gets in that moment.
Speaker 6 (05:42):
Between places, she's just oh, sweetheart, how you doing? Just
so risk will Queen.
Speaker 4 (05:48):
She she was a stranger to nobody. No, he knew everybody.
She talked to everybody. She knew everybody by name, to
every player on the sideline. Not even oh yeah, I'm
talking everyone, security guard, it's camera operators, reporters, like all
of it.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
She knew everyone.
Speaker 4 (06:04):
I walk up there and I'm not on the sideline
for every game, I'm in the studio with Isaiah and
we do the sideline and stuff.
Speaker 3 (06:10):
For the preseason.
Speaker 4 (06:11):
She knew my name every single time, from like the
first time I was on the sideline, I was like,
miss Price knows my name. I was starstruck by her
knowing who I was at that point. And that just
encompasses what she meant to this organization, what she meant
as a fan, true fan of the year. We talk
about the Captain Morgan Fan of the Year. She could
have won it every single year.
Speaker 6 (06:31):
Oh yeah, it.
Speaker 8 (06:31):
Would have been Redundan if she won it every single year,
but she was well deserved.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
I could tell you, guys this, and this is no
disrespect to any other fans out there. Hopefully it's not
perceived as disrespect. When you're coming out to the field
for practice, especially like training camp, right, you hear you
hear it all the fans, right, so, but you have
a job to go do, right, So you hear the
people yelling, you can't stop for everybody, right, you still
gotta go work. I could tell you personally all that stuff,
(06:56):
it's you're you're grateful for it, but it's noise right
that you that you that part of the atmosphere you're
going out to go do your practice.
Speaker 6 (07:02):
If you hear.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
Missus Price's Miss Price's voice, you stop and you turn
around and you go say hi. It's not a not
that we that we ignore, right, but it just becomes
a part of the atmosphere. When you hear Missus Price's voice,
you stop, you figure out where the heck she's at.
You'll give her a hug, you give her some love,
and then you go on about your business like that.
And I can tell you, guys, I don't have any
(07:24):
I would have again, Miss probably on a hard drive.
Speaker 6 (07:26):
I'm pretty sure I have a picture of her.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
But like guys like Brady James and others that I've
seen that have already posted pictures today, like, that's what
she means and meant to everybody who is a part
of this organization, at least for the players. I can't
speak for everybody else, but from the player's standpoint, we
appreciate all fans, and she was the representation of all
the fans that we feel, so believe.
Speaker 6 (07:49):
There it is.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
She was the best.
Speaker 4 (07:51):
And condolences to her family, Condolences to everybody that was
impacted by her. We're gonna miss miss Price and she
is h I hope they saved that spot. She stood
in the same spot of the stadium, right by the tunnel,
right up in the front of the field suite.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
I hope they saved that spot that belongs to her. Yeah,
let's rope it off, let's put it there.
Speaker 4 (08:10):
They're doing construction on the stadium in that area right
now for the World Cup, and then they're gonna tear
it back down after the World Cup's over.
Speaker 3 (08:16):
Anyways, when they tear it down, just block that spot off.
That is that is missus.
Speaker 4 (08:21):
Price's spot forever and it needs to stay that for
for the rest of them.
Speaker 6 (08:25):
She had the voice where it's like, you're almost in trouble.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
Yeah, you know what I'm saying, you outside playing, you know,
like streetlights.
Speaker 6 (08:37):
I gotta I gotta.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
U the best? All right?
Speaker 4 (08:43):
Super Bowl was last or the two nights ago. I
almost said last night, but yeah, we had a day
in between there.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
We're gonna talk about some.
Speaker 4 (08:50):
Of the the the ways that we can learn from
this Super Bowl. We tend to do that every year,
but this year I feel like there are some specific
instances where the Cowboys could learn from how the Seahawks
and the Patriots both got to the Super Bowl and
how the Seahawks ultimately won the Super Bowl. We'll talk
about that in the second segment, but we've got some
news and notes to hit because there are a lot
of different storylines and impact pieces over the last week
(09:13):
that we never got the chance.
Speaker 7 (09:14):
The season is over, right, never First of all, everybody
zero and zero right now?
Speaker 4 (09:20):
Yes, so running back, there's only one defending champion running back.
Speaker 6 (09:24):
There were thirty one fielures there.
Speaker 7 (09:27):
It is so first and foremost, let's just talk about
how the Cowboys will have their first international game play
in years, and it will Yeah, we'll mark the first
time in franchise history the Cowboys will take the field
for football game in real.
Speaker 6 (09:42):
Dejon era, I look how excited he is. Look how
excited he is just because he gets to go on
to Charter.
Speaker 4 (09:48):
Probably can we can we take talking Cowboys on the road, Derek,
please please use.
Speaker 8 (09:52):
Someone give him the.
Speaker 6 (09:56):
It's going to be enjoyable. I'm implying. I'm applying to
be a writer for the CA this year.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
Maybe, so he has.
Speaker 7 (10:10):
Narrow I need to focus and uh kind of lock
in on. I need to get my Portuguese ready, That's
what I need to do. So that's just massive news
in and of itself. Obviously, the NFL schedule has yet
to be released. It will be released in May. But
fall intents and purposes, it's safe to assume that this
will probably be weak one.
Speaker 4 (10:27):
That's what it has been the uh the other game,
which was South Palo, right, Yeah, South Pallo was always
weak ones.
Speaker 6 (10:35):
Yeah, it just logistically it has to be. It makes sense.
Speaker 7 (10:37):
I mean it's a ten hour plus ten plus hour
flight in both directions, so it would make sense that
you would give the teams that are having this game
time to get there without a game preceding it. But
then it has to go into a mini bite week,
you would think, because you don't want to have another
game six days after you took an international trip to Brazil,
ten hour flight, all of that stuff. So Cowboys, and
(11:00):
that's pretty big news. So a lot of stuff came
out of the Super Bowl week as far as some
you know, free agency talk. You know Jeorge Pickens, obviously
he's the headliner. Javonte Williams, he's another one of the headliners. Uh,
it feels more and more like Javonte Williams. And this
let me, let me say this the right way, because
(11:21):
free agency is a two way street. So doesn't entirely
matter how confident one side of the negotiation is because
the other side has to agree. But I will say
that as as we have the conversation, the Cowboys are
extremely confident that they're going to retain Javonte Williams.
Speaker 6 (11:36):
Those talks have already begun. We believe in Javonte. Those
talks have already begun.
Speaker 7 (11:43):
So there is a growing chance, Yeah, there is a
growing chance that Javonte Williams could see a new contract
from the Cowboys, probably before.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
The league year opens in mid March.
Speaker 7 (11:57):
That is their goal, because he is not the one
that's in line for the franchise tag. That would be
one George Pickens.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
Isn't there somebody else who used to play here who
left the table up and said that they would be
willing to come that.
Speaker 7 (12:09):
Would do That would be Ricodoaldo recently said from Super Bowl,
from Pro Bowl WEEKND actually that he would be open
to returning to Dallas, which makes for an interesting discussion
because you know, and we'll get up Carolina to put
a pin in it, because this is that's a fun discussion.
Speaker 6 (12:27):
I want to talk what you do, but not right now.
But he did say it.
Speaker 7 (12:30):
That being said, George Pickens that is in line for
a potential franchise tag. The Cowboys have not broached talks
with his agent quite yet.
Speaker 3 (12:39):
Who is his agent?
Speaker 6 (12:40):
You know, a great relationship with him.
Speaker 4 (12:43):
David also represented who Michael. Oh, that's right, I believe Michael,
who is not salty at all? Right now, this podcast
in great spirits, totally cool.
Speaker 3 (12:57):
Yeah, he's a totally good guy. Yeah, that's not upset.
Speaker 7 (13:00):
Well, I will tell you that this time around, there
will be no negotiating with the player. George Pickens has
said time and time and time and time again he
will leave that to his agent, Will Gooletta. Those conversations,
as we insiders know, typically for the Cowboys, those ramp
up at the NFL combine.
Speaker 3 (13:16):
So for those wondering right before.
Speaker 4 (13:18):
So like next week, there's gonna be preliminary conversations to
possibly set up actual in personal conversations and then.
Speaker 6 (13:27):
You will That's when contract talks every year.
Speaker 7 (13:31):
And bring me back every So I know a lot
of people are wondering, well, you know, no, c and
Cayle and Isaiah and Josh if they're not having conversations
right now, should we be worried?
Speaker 6 (13:40):
Though?
Speaker 7 (13:40):
Now you should because that's not the formula for the Cowboys.
What I will say is, and I've said this before,
I know that it was recently put out there that
the Cowboys are expected to franchise tag. George Pickens shouts
out to our God, Dave help me because that was
a hilarious response. Yeah, so the sun is also expected
to rise tomorrow. Okay, that was the report, and I
thought the exact same thing. I was like what it
(14:01):
was like because I think I believe multiple need.
Speaker 6 (14:04):
The headline before the Super Bowl.
Speaker 3 (14:05):
They're expected to tag George Pickens.
Speaker 4 (14:08):
Yeah, I'm expected to get the work in the morning, like, Yeah,
it's gonna happen.
Speaker 7 (14:12):
We've said this, we need this time and again, and
I'm holding firm to my belief of this. I believe
that they will get some type of traction before and
through the combine.
Speaker 6 (14:23):
Will a deal get done too many moving factors.
Speaker 7 (14:26):
I don't know that a deal gets done before the
franchise tag deadline ends. It's February seventeenth to March third.
They cannot tag him before the seventeenth. They have to
tag him by the third of March if they're going
to do it. I believe he does get the tag.
I've said this time and time again, so that will
be no surprise to me. But it's a placeholder. It's
to buy time. It's to keep the other thirty one
teams from interfering, which gives the Cowboys carte blanche to
(14:47):
have those conversations with him all the way through mid July,
which is the deadline to get a deal done.
Speaker 8 (14:52):
Entirely, that's the one thing is expect the tag, Expect
the hope that extension extension before training camp.
Speaker 3 (14:59):
Yes, that's what you're looking at, guys.
Speaker 4 (15:01):
I did read a report, so this is not coming
from Kyle. There are nightmare scenarios out there where he
is tagged but refuses to play. I don't know if
that's the case. From his party and from his words
during Pro Bowl Week, it doesn't seem like that's a possibility.
It seems like, yes, he doesn't want to play on
(15:22):
the tag, but I don't think there's a holdout or
something like that that could possibly be a factor. But
there were reports that if there was any sort of
push back or upset nature with this tag, that the
Cowboys would be open to trading George Pickens.
Speaker 3 (15:37):
That would be the second.
Speaker 4 (15:40):
Conversation in the nightmare scenario. Would you ever see something
like that happening with George Pickens?
Speaker 7 (15:46):
Specifically, No, And the only scenario I could see it
happening would be a complete collapse of the negotiations.
Speaker 6 (15:57):
And when I say collapse, I.
Speaker 3 (15:58):
Mean ugly like Michaeh.
Speaker 7 (16:01):
Parsons end before the NFL Draft, Because I think that
the Cowboys, for as much as Jerry talked about, oh well,
it didn't matter if we did Michael's trade now in
September or he knows better than that, right, he knows
it did. So I think that there's a lesson to
be learned there in that if you're going to get
out of this situation by trading, you get the most
possible And what time of year do you tend to
(16:23):
get the.
Speaker 6 (16:23):
Most possible draft time? Right? Draft time.
Speaker 7 (16:25):
So when you look at the timeline, I mean, we're
having this conversation on February tenth, The draft is in April.
Negotiations haven't started yet, and they'll started here in a
week or two, right, based on the relationship between the
two parties. And you hear Jerry Jones basically saying, which
is rare. The salary CAP's not going to impact this
at all. Don't talk to me about the salary cap.
(16:46):
When it comes to George Pickens, I.
Speaker 6 (16:47):
Want him here.
Speaker 7 (16:48):
I want him here for the rest of my life.
He didn't say that, but it felt that way. And
George Pickens wants to be here. Dak Prescott wants George
Pickens be here. Ceedee Lamb, Yes, let's kill these narratives
right now. Ceedee Lamb said he'd be willing to rework
not restructure.
Speaker 6 (17:03):
Because that's a team thing, different thing, different thing.
Speaker 7 (17:05):
He'd be willing to rework his contract to keep George
Pickens here and does not care if George Pickens makes
more money in Dallas. He does not care. He Ceede Lamb,
multi time All Pro wide Receiver record Center, says he
doesn't care if George Pickens is making more money.
Speaker 6 (17:21):
He wants them to stay together in Dallas.
Speaker 8 (17:24):
Patrick does he walkers.
Speaker 7 (17:27):
Everybody is on board on all sides. Now, it's just
a matter of getting the numbers right.
Speaker 4 (17:31):
Do we believe CD when he says that, yes, Okay, yeah,
I'm just.
Speaker 8 (17:35):
I don't have any reason not to believe Ceedee Lamb.
Speaker 7 (17:37):
Look at the relationship between those two guys from minute
one throughout the abscirety of the sea.
Speaker 6 (17:43):
Also, aside from.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
That, Ceedee Lamb, like every other person of high caliber
in this league, understands that the next man is most
likely going to get more.
Speaker 4 (17:53):
But it's just howardless he was once the next next
in line himself.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
Do I think that he would feel some type of
way internally, Yes, I think that he would let that show.
Speaker 9 (18:01):
No.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
He also he understands the business, the nature of this business,
the next man up. If you perform well, should be
paid at least what you're getting paid, if not more.
It's just how it goes. It's not an indictment on
how the organization feels about you.
Speaker 6 (18:16):
The market is the market, Rick is the market.
Speaker 8 (18:18):
Ceedee Lamb said it when George Pickens walked through the door.
It's not about having one A, one B. We got
two ones.
Speaker 6 (18:23):
Yep.
Speaker 8 (18:24):
That's what you got to pay for.
Speaker 4 (18:25):
And that's what happened this year. Yeah, and that George
Pickens bet on himself or not really bet on himself.
It was the situation he was put in. But he
was put in a situation when Dallas traded for him
from Pittsburgh. It was put up or shut up. That's
what it ultimately ended up being for George Pickens because
he had one shot on the last year of his
rookie deal to prove to the rest of the league,
(18:45):
thirty one other teams and the Cowboys that you have
a capable number one wide receiver, whether that's in Dallas
or elsewhere.
Speaker 3 (18:56):
And he did. He did it.
Speaker 4 (18:57):
He kept in line, he molded with the offense. He
became the most significant weapon that Dallas had in twenty
twenty five. So with that being said, he's earned the
opportunity to that contract. Does the rest of the league
think so? I talked to a couple of people that
are well connected. They said, specifically, from this one is
coming out, the league doesn't see him from a trade
(19:21):
value standpoint. So if Dallas were to want to trade
George Pickens, what would you need for that to happen?
Speaker 3 (19:27):
Just you guys, specifically A one? You would need a one, right,
that's the conversations one.
Speaker 4 (19:33):
The highest conversation that I heard from other people around
the league was a second or a third.
Speaker 3 (19:39):
I'm not interested. Don't even talk to me if.
Speaker 4 (19:42):
That's the kid value is a one right now or
as a one right now on your team with CD
lamb than anything, get the contract done. I think it's
going to get done. And it's different. This is for
those that are comparing into the Mica situation. This is
not the Mica situation. I know it's the same agent.
I know there's a lot of conversation there. This is
not the same conversation and.
Speaker 8 (20:02):
Everything that we've talked about about rebuilding the defense and
rebuilding the team for next year to hopefully get into
the playoffs. And get further into the playoffs and actually
could be competing for a championship. One of those things
is like, let's improve on what the offense is this year. Yes,
if you remove George Pickens from that equation, you do
not have as good of an offense. Simply that, No,
you don't have the same weapons that you have. And
(20:23):
George Pickens definitely contributed a large part to the growth
of the offense this season because it wasn't just CD Lane.
Speaker 7 (20:31):
You get worse. And there's no bigger fan of Ryan
Flinoy than me. And at the same time, it's also
true that as we have this conversation, Ryan Flannoy and
George Pickens are not the same players. So to your point,
if George Pickens is not on this roster, not to
say the offense suddenly won't be good, but it takes
a step back, and a pretty sizable one, especially when
you look at from an assurance standpoint. You lost CD
(20:52):
Lamp for several games to injury last year. That was
as Ryan Flinoy was developing, and it was George Pickens
who stepped up in their role. Without George Pickens, it's
Ryan annoyed being asked to develop faster, and then who's
your two? If Ceedee Lamb is not on the field
to the injury, y isn't in the building, it would
have been jay Lon Tober.
Speaker 3 (21:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (21:08):
And the only reason I could the only reason I
consider this is if they move the number of picks
to like five years in advance and we can get
all I don't like that, all sorts of that. I'm all,
we got all sorts of players everything. Just give me
a whole eleven. The trade deadline is what end up
looking like. I'm good, keep it to what it is,
all right?
Speaker 4 (21:28):
When we come back, Seattle wins the Super Bowl twenty
nine thirteen over the New England Patriots. What did we
learn and what can Cowboys improve upon? Part of it
is what Josh just talked about. How did Seattle get
to that point and do the same thing, but just
on the opposite side of the football.
Speaker 3 (21:43):
When we return with more talking Cowboys right after.
Speaker 1 (21:45):
This, how's it going? You see that Cowboys game?

My nickname in high school.
Speaker 3 (25:44):
You go all right.
Speaker 4 (25:45):
Seattle wins twenty nine thirteen over New England. It was
a dominant performance and oh my goodness, Seahawks just took
care of business. They go through the Dauntlin in the NFC.
They get it done, all predicated off of defense.
Speaker 2 (25:58):
Can we say real quick, yes, congratulations to former Cowboys yep, yes,
talking about d law yep and.
Speaker 6 (26:04):
Adam Dirty yep, yep.
Speaker 2 (26:05):
Seriously congratulations, Like I know this is diehard cowboy, you
know obviously that is what it is. But respect to
those that are willing to move on right, grateful for
where you've been. It's not easy to go reinvent yourself.
Is not easy to step out of your comfort zone
and then go have success. So congratulations to those guys
for getting to where they got and doing what they did,
(26:29):
and thank you for your time and doubts.
Speaker 3 (26:30):
Ye I put a tweet out there saying the same thing.
Speaker 4 (26:33):
Why would you tweet that yeah, you give me the
funny backup that people didn't understand either. But those are
two of the guys that I enjoyed covering the most
while they were here, because they're both genuine, genuine human beings.
First off, I even knew d Law from when I
was an intern back in twenty sixteen, in the early
years of him working up in my not even on
(26:55):
air side of things, and he was always verys with
his time. He was always very generous with the media.
He was always one of those guys. And then at
and Dirty was just salt of the earth, grinded out
sort of just smart football but even better person sort
of guys. And so I am genuinely happy for them,
I really am. And seeing the pictures of Adam Dirty
(27:17):
with the the what's the Union.
Speaker 3 (27:20):
Jack or not the Union jack?
Speaker 4 (27:21):
What is the British flag whatever, great Britain's flag, there's
a name for it. He had it draped over himself
and with the Lombardi Trophy. It made me emotional for him.
So I'm happy for his journey and what he got
to this point.
Speaker 2 (27:34):
So happy and gratulation in respect to d Law about
how he's handled these interviews, like I feel like he's
been super respectful, crazy professional like professional like literally like
this is like how you do it, this is how
you operate. He went about this. He could have said
some crazy stuff if he wanted to. Some of the
questions he was being asked.
Speaker 8 (27:52):
Arguably rubbed people the wrong way when he left.
Speaker 2 (27:55):
Allis absolutely when he made the statement that he doesn't
feel as if he's gonna win a super Bowl here
in Dallas, and he said, that's why I'm going to Seattle.
That was his decision, and he called the shot, and
he called his shot. It was It wasn't a hey,
Dallas is never going to win one. He's I'm not
gonna win one in Dallas. So that's how he felt.
He's in charge of his career. So if you took
(28:18):
that personally, that's on you. He made a personal decision
for him and it panned out. He had a vision
for himself. He executed that vision and it worked. Kudos
to him. And in the process, not one time did
he defile the freaking Cowboys, and he had plenty of
opportunities to do so.
Speaker 6 (28:35):
Even after he won the.
Speaker 2 (28:37):
Super Bowl, they asked him about that, he said, that's
that's behind me.
Speaker 8 (28:41):
That's like he did disrespectful honestly to ask him about
the Cowboys after you.
Speaker 6 (28:46):
Bating. That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (28:48):
He was a professional through it all.
Speaker 2 (28:50):
So leading up to the Super Bowl, he asked a
thousand times about it, and especially specifically about that particular
statement that he made in reference to not winning a
super Bowl here in Dallas and not going to And
then even after he won the Super Bowl, one of
the first questions they ask him is about Dallas, and
he stayed true, respectful through it.
Speaker 6 (29:07):
Also like, kudos, that's not easy.
Speaker 2 (29:09):
It's not freaking easy in this world where there's freaking
clickbait and everybody's trying to get you to drop one liner.
Speaker 6 (29:15):
He so like respect, all respect.
Speaker 8 (29:17):
And also just consider this and have this sort of
outlook on things whenever he said that, whenever he said
I'm not going to win to just think about how
much the team has changed since that statement, I mean,
and the strides that this team has made. Granted they
didn't have a winning season necessarily, but I mean, this
team is a completely different look from the from the state.
(29:39):
Whenever he felt like he had to leave and go
compete for a super Bowl, it is night and day different.
Speaker 2 (29:44):
One of the people that he had personal and personal
and public beef with, right to our knowledge at this
point was Micah. Right, they had a tip. Neither played
for the Cowboy, neither played for them anymore. Yep, sorry,
So whatever dynamic was going on in that locker room
may have very well been true at that point. Yeah, right,
that that made it was enough of a stir where
(30:05):
the d Law at that time in this organization felt
as if this is not the vision for me. So
he left. He removed himself, and then Micah got removed.
Speaker 8 (30:15):
So you know, Michael's doing good podcasts from the super
Bowl that helas playing.
Speaker 6 (30:22):
He lost point to d last point.
Speaker 7 (30:24):
But you know, in addition to all of the things
that you guys are saying about d Law, what I
respect the most is the fact that for so often
when he was here, especially over that I say, the
past two or three last seasons that he was here,
there was a pocket of the fan base, not many,
but there was a pocket of the fan base that
used the world washed, Oh he's washed, to get him
out of here, get him out of here. Not only
(30:44):
did he go and stand on business and get his
Super Bowl in the first year outside of the organization.
Speaker 3 (30:50):
He was a key contributor throughout.
Speaker 7 (30:52):
Yeah, he was like no one in a leader and
a leader, no one in that pocket who of Cowboys
fans that say, oh de Law's washed, getting my out
of here. No one can look at him and say, well,
did you even play bro?
Speaker 6 (31:04):
Yeah? Yeah, he absolutely was.
Speaker 4 (31:07):
He the best player on the defense. No, but was
he The word that.
Speaker 7 (31:11):
Was used to describe him was perfect in the Super
Bowl force multiplayer. That was exactly what he was the
entirety of the season and in the Super Bowl as well,
up to and through the Super Bowl. So he was
a key contributor, He was a starter, He was a
leader in that locker room fifty one. So I say
that to say, this is not a guy who went
and rode someone's coattails to finally getting the ring.
Speaker 6 (31:31):
Right.
Speaker 7 (31:32):
He didn't chase the ring. He took a bet on
himself take them to them. He took at Yeah, he
didn't take them to the ring.
Speaker 4 (31:37):
I was one of the people that when he had
made that statement. Initially I chuckled at it. I scoffed
at it, because you're joining a team with a losing
record and no real intention of being a Super Bowl contemded.
Speaker 3 (31:50):
You didn't see division point, he didn't the division. I
didn't see it, nobody saw it.
Speaker 6 (31:53):
He did.
Speaker 4 (31:53):
And he's a competitor, so you expect him to say
stuff like that, And so when I scoffed at it,
you scoff at it as a competitor yourself, somebody that's
around this team and saying, yeah, we're gonna still push
and try and do what we're gonna do and whatever
it ends up being. But you never really know until
you're in that moment, like Dila did, just what he
believed in himself and what he was betting on in himself.
Speaker 3 (32:14):
It's impressive.
Speaker 6 (32:14):
You're naturally instinct is to think that.
Speaker 3 (32:16):
It's spite, Yeah, and it was never that.
Speaker 4 (32:19):
It was never that now so that you can kind
of You could see that in the reactions that he
had on social for sure with other former Cowboy employee
or not employees, but former Cowboys players that are no
longer with the team anymore. The reaction and then the
co reaction and the back and forth that you saw
on social from that moment, it showed up in the
in the long run, didn't it. And I think if
(32:39):
you're a Cowboys fan, it's hard for me to say
that that was all in spite to Dallas.
Speaker 3 (32:45):
It was mostly in spite to the.
Speaker 6 (32:46):
Situation which has.
Speaker 3 (32:48):
Shifted from that point.
Speaker 4 (32:49):
So that brings me to my next question of how
did Seattle get there? They had incredible not I wouldn't
even say luck, but they had an incredible percentage of
hitting on first round picks. And just for those that
watched the Draft show as well, we're gonna talk about
this a little bit today on the Draft Show too.
Speaker 3 (33:06):
But think of back two years ago.
Speaker 4 (33:08):
The twenty twenty three NFL Draft, I guess technically three
years ago.
Speaker 3 (33:12):
They had two first round picks.
Speaker 4 (33:14):
They had a selection at number five, top five pick,
Devin Wood Witherspoon, who was the key contributor of that
defense and a legitimate force.
Speaker 3 (33:24):
In the secondary.
Speaker 4 (33:25):
And their second pick was at pick number twenty happens
to be the same selection the Cowboys had, Jackson Smith
and Jigba.
Speaker 3 (33:32):
You heard that name a couple times through the playoff run.
You hear that Offensive Player of the Year.
Speaker 8 (33:36):
Maybe I didn't quite hear it on the NFL Honors night.
Speaker 4 (33:38):
But yeah, I didn't hear that name specifically from Drewski,
but there were some there were some times he was
mentioned quite often, and there's a good reason for that.
Speaker 3 (33:46):
But then the next year they hit on Byron Murphy.
Speaker 4 (33:49):
The next year after that, twenty twenty five, they get
Grey Zabel, who didn't play a ton, but he played
a little bit back and.
Speaker 3 (33:55):
Forth, but he was a rookie. So my point being.
Speaker 4 (33:59):
Is Dallas as always been a draft and developed team.
But in order to do that, you have to get
guys that develop and develop quickly. Who you need to
see Dallas take a step forward without even talking about
revamping the defense this offseason, without even having that conversation,
because everybody knows that's the case.
Speaker 6 (34:16):
Guys who are on its current right, who.
Speaker 4 (34:17):
Are on this current roster that you need to take
a huge step forward, because that's what Jackson Smith and
Jigba did. Devin Witherspoon was already NFL ready, but he
took steps.
Speaker 3 (34:25):
And strides as well.
Speaker 4 (34:26):
Who do you need to see it from in order
for Dallas to get where Seattle ended up get?
Speaker 7 (34:29):
You know what, all the names that you said, don't
forget Witherspoon, right, And in thinking of Witherspoon, twenty.
Speaker 6 (34:36):
Three first had a tremendous impact on top five pick.
Speaker 7 (34:39):
Yep, I'm going to although this person I'm saying about
to say is not a first round pick, Savone Revel
the Cowboys. When you look at what the Cowboys are
a cornerback wise man, dire streets isn't even the word.
I mean, it's worse than dire straits. As we talk
ahead of free agency and ahead of the next draft.
And to be fair to Saphone Revel, because we have
to be fair here. He was coming off of torn
(35:00):
acl He did not have a full off season of
actual training camp or training camp at all because he
was on you know, the pup list and whatnot. So
nfilists for him. But this is going to be the
first full off season healthy. He gets to develop in
a first healthy off season under Christian Parker and Derek
Ansley and Ryan Smith. And now the Cowboys have hired
(35:22):
Robert Muschamp, nephew of Will must Champ.
Speaker 6 (35:24):
Can I say it? Can I say it?
Speaker 10 (35:26):
No?
Speaker 3 (35:26):
Yeah, go dogs as assistant secondary coach.
Speaker 7 (35:30):
So you coach for Texas now, well yeah yeah, well yeah,
but before you got there, where was he was that
Georgia who gave him the Netty.
Speaker 6 (35:37):
Okay, so there's that.
Speaker 7 (35:39):
But when you talk about how the Cowboys are structuring
their defensive coaching staff from the top, Christian Parker moving downwards,
highly focused, highly focused on improving the secondary, I'm looking
at the development Isaiah. You talked about it a lot
last year. The position coaches are critical and developing. The
(35:59):
Cowboys have suffered in not developing certain young guys in
certain positions. I want to see Savone Revel take a
huge stride. Does that huge stride mean for me a
Pro Bowl stride? I would love to see it.
Speaker 3 (36:10):
It'd be great.
Speaker 7 (36:11):
That's not what I'm looking for, though, I'm looking for.
I'm looking for defensive player of the year. I'm looking
for seventeen plus games from Savone Revel as a starter
playing at a a high level, define high level. I'm
not saying he can go Pro Bowl. I'm not saying
he can't. But if you give me him playing at
(36:32):
a high level, seventeen plus games, which told me goes
to his availability in a situation where you don't know
what dron Bland's durability looks like with his foot, it's
the post digs era. I like Reddy Stewart Keilllyn Carson,
Steve needs developing development. You got to solve this cornerback position, and.
Speaker 6 (36:48):
You might solve it in the draft.
Speaker 7 (36:49):
Why the big from Savona?
Speaker 3 (36:53):
Why are you state that?
Speaker 2 (36:54):
I hope and pray that Revel gets help, he gets
back to what he was.
Speaker 8 (37:01):
In college, an actual off season.
Speaker 6 (37:03):
An actual off season.
Speaker 2 (37:06):
With that said, I I.
Speaker 6 (37:12):
Have never been science and science.
Speaker 2 (37:17):
I personally am not a big believer that cornerbacks can
return to what they were after tornasios. Okay, why that
position specifically, the mechanics of the position. Elaborate, the backpedaling,
the contortion on the knee, the reactionary as a receiver,
(37:38):
tight end, whatever offensive player. It's it's easier because you're
you are initiating the movements, right, You're predicting those movements.
You're you're not reacting your body's response. Yeah, your body's
reactionary mechanism is completely different than the initiation. Right If
that hopefully that makes sense to people. I just not
(37:59):
a big believer. I hope, I really do. I hope
that from somebody who's had a thousand injuries, I really
hope that he gets back to what he was. It's
sometimes it's a dragon that you just that you don't
catch at that position.
Speaker 6 (38:12):
Group.
Speaker 2 (38:12):
So in terms of what I believe, who I believe
on this roster is capable of stepping up his two guys,
I think that drom Bland needs to get back to
who he was. He has a ceiling that he has
touched before. He's touched the ceiling tile, but he's not
(38:33):
he's not close to that ceiling toile right now.
Speaker 6 (38:35):
He has to get back to that.
Speaker 2 (38:36):
So get back up on the ladder, get close to
the ceiling towel and hopefully pop it up and pop
it open and see that you still.
Speaker 6 (38:41):
Have more to go. I'm not sure where he's.
Speaker 2 (38:45):
At in his mental space right now to believe that
he's that he has more than what he's already attained.
That's my number one. So I think Bland has more
than what he has shown. I'm not sure if he
believes it. Second person that I think could be a
tremendous impact on this entire defense without having to go.
Speaker 6 (39:03):
Acquire somebody as Ready Stewart. I think Ready Stewart.
Speaker 3 (39:07):
Showed some stuff is safety.
Speaker 2 (39:09):
The versatile safety that that you're going to be probably
looking for. They don't see him as a safety, and
I hope the previous previous the previous.
Speaker 6 (39:21):
Regime did not see him as a safety.
Speaker 2 (39:23):
When I watched the Seattle Seahawks and I see their
defense and I see how versatile they are in the
different offers in memory, I'm not saying Ready Stewart's.
Speaker 6 (39:35):
Him, but I'm saying that he has that versatility.
Speaker 2 (39:39):
He doesn't have the size, but he has a versatility
and the physicality. Somebody who can go play safety and
come down to play nickel. I think if you train
him at that and you instill in him a sense
of confidence from that meeting room, from the coaches that
say you're our guy. Belief from coaches as a player
(40:02):
makes all the difference in the world and the player.
I repeat, when you have a coach that believes in
you and instills in you the faith that you are
more than what you've shown and we're going to stay
committed to you, you will be surprised at what you get.
And I know people are like, you're tripping. Riddy Stewart
is just a guy that got pulled it. I I
(40:24):
see it, and I hope that they see it too.
So I think that he's somebody that you can plug in.
There as a strong safety that can come down and
play Nickel when you want to go, when you want
to go Din. He's a guy that you can keep
in the game, bring him down and cover your guys.
Speaker 4 (40:42):

Speaker 1 (42:50):
To Talking Cowboys.
Speaker 4 (42:54):
Back here on Talking Cowboys, presented by Black Rifle Coffee Company.
The official coffee of the Dallas Cowboys' segment is brought
to you by in Visi Line, the official smile of
the Dallas Cowboys. Back with Patrick Nosey Walker, Josh Rodriguez,
Isaiah standback, Chris Beam in the back. I'm Kyle Yeoman's
all right, Josh who needs to take a step up?
And I kind of laughed a little bit at some
of the comments here, like the whole defense. I agree absolutely,
(43:15):
but we're being specific here. Who are some of the
names that you own to take a step well?
Speaker 8 (43:19):
I mean, I know we're talking about defense, but I
need to pivot. Pivot, pivot a little bit because there's
one particular offensive player that you've invested a lot in
first round pick that absolutely needs to step up in
a big way because we're at a point of diminishing
returns here. We can't be picking another offensive lineman. Okay,
(43:40):
so give me Tyler Gitton in a big, bad way.
That guy needs to step up, and not only that,
but remain healthy through the entire season. Please get through
a whole season, but get some of that dirty back.
You know what I'm saying, Like he's I'm I've lost
confidence in him because I think he lost confidence in
himself of the last I don't think there was that
(44:02):
like grit there that you saw in his first at
training camp, his first training camp, I think it diminished
a bit. I think he says a lot of the
right things. I think he's a good he's a man
of good character.
Speaker 6 (44:14):
But to me.
Speaker 4 (44:17):
Be a little nasty, is that just a byproduct of
trying to stay healthy and he's limiting his self to
try and get through it?
Speaker 8 (44:25):
Is that part that would that would be a disappointment, honestly,
that really would, I hope, because you need to leave
it all out I.
Speaker 3 (44:30):
Agree, you absolutely need to.
Speaker 8 (44:32):
And I think with as much as the Cowboys have
invested in the offensive line, especially the first round picks,
early picks Cooper Babe, notwithstanding a third round pick, right,
but if that comes to pass where next year you
are kind of like iffy about the offensive line yet again,
and he's kind of in and out like it's just
that would just be a huge dispointment. And I think
(44:53):
you could even retain Terrence Steel this year if you
have a huge step from from Tyler guy.
Speaker 4 (45:01):
My question then turns to and I'm curious on what
Isaiah has to say here, but when it comes to
Guidon specifically, he right now is his concern is around
his availability. But at one point does he become damaged
goods in your eyes and on paper, because at some
point it's just the path of no return and at
(45:21):
some point you can't trust him to be the left
tackle of the thing.
Speaker 2 (45:24):
Yeah, I was dem and diminished goods too. I had
a ton of injuries and they got to the point
where they couldn't trust the fact that I was gonna
be available, right So that's a big portion of it.
I don't obviously, that is a portion of it for him.
I don't think he's not there yet.
Speaker 6 (45:37):
It's for him.
Speaker 2 (45:38):
I think it's mostly mental and I identified that long, long, long,
long time ago, just watching how he operates in practice
and things of that nature. I just don't think that
that dog switches on.
Speaker 8 (45:50):
This is the same guy that held his own against
Miles Garrett.
Speaker 3 (45:52):
Correct. Yes, yes, in game one, in game one.
Speaker 8 (45:55):
It's in the first game of his career. Get back
to that man.
Speaker 6 (45:59):
It's just mental a decision.
Speaker 4 (46:00):
Yeah, all right, that does it for us. Here I'll
talk about Cowboys. I know these forty five minute shows.
I go by fast. Appreciate you joining us. We'll be
back again next Tuesday. As always, special things to Black

We are gonna hit plenty of the story lines and
reaction off the West Coast. That Super Bowl sixty is
now in the book and we are fully into the
off season.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
Yeah we can start talking.
Speaker 6 (01:13):
Oh you know it's some team out of Seattle.
Speaker 3 (01:15):
Congrats to your city. It's all good man, y'all. Are
you gonna go to the parade?
Speaker 6 (01:19):
No, everybody in my in my friend chat, they're all going.
Speaker 3 (01:22):
They're all gone. Yeah, when is it? Is it today
or tomorrow?
Speaker 2 (01:24):
I don't know. I know my brother wherever. My brother's like,
I'm flying up, bro, like go have fuck, get after it.
I've been blessed to be in a parade.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
One Stephen Winter's food.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
I can tell you being in the par saying though
being in the parade was absolutely crazy.
Speaker 3 (01:44):
Oh do you remember most of that?
Speaker 6 (01:46):
Oh? I remember all of it.
Speaker 3 (01:47):
Okay, that's good.
Speaker 6 (01:48):
I'm hoping that it's all.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
My hard drive still because I had all my old
video footage from it, floppy disk. Bro looking up like
especially like in New York. Obviously, sure it was insane.
The building of skyscrapers is paper just flying out like
howardy people even like looking out the window that high
up and it just like it looked like confetti, obviously,
but people just throwing stuff out, the ripped papers, fans everywhere,
millions of people.
Speaker 6 (02:09):
It was insane. And then some day Kyle, yeah.
Speaker 7 (02:12):
Hopefully real nice to see some of that here in
the metroplan.
Speaker 4 (02:17):
They would have to shut down. I mean, just think
about it. Just I know fans are like, I don't
want to think about it. It's been thirty years. I
get it, I get it. But because of that weight,
and because of the way that the star and the
brand and everything is grown to what it is now,
could you imagine them having they would have to shut
down the toll way and just use the toll way
(02:37):
to go from Frisco to Dallas then to Arlington, and
then they would fill the state.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
I mean, it would be what would be that one real?
How would you The route would be the longest.
Speaker 6 (02:47):
That's actually perfect.
Speaker 7 (02:49):
You might have to shut down DNT and you just
let that be from Frisco all the way down and
then you know, just thirty five down.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
Nobody wants to hear about the other team. But the
other team that I was on when we won, we
did the parade right, So we did the parade route,
which was absolutely insane. After we finished the parade route,
we actually stopped at the I don't know what's city
Hall or something like that. It was something like that. Anyways,
we're down downtown. We get the key to the city.
So we're sitting down, we're chilling. Snipers are everywhere, Yeah, bro,
(03:18):
We're looking like, is that a freaking person up there? Like, yeah,
that's a sniper, bro. So we do the thing, we
get the key to the city. Right after we get
the key to the city, we get back on the
buses right and so now we're not outside the buses.
We're in the buses and we drive to the stadium.
When we get to the stadium, we go into the stadium,
we come out the tunnel, fog machines, all that kind
of stuff, and freaking Naughty by Nature is playing. Heyro
(03:42):
and the stadium is it's just lit packed people have
been out there or oh bro, it was turned. It
was so like it's like it felt like a movie.
Like the whole day felt like a movie. But the
cool thing, the best part was the fact that they
included the families. So they had a bus for like
the wives, you know what I'm saying, And I had
the bus for the wives and the kids and they
got a chance to experience as well. So like that
(04:04):
was for me the coolest part, because it's like it's
one thing for you to experience it, but it's another
thing for them at that time for them to include
your families to be a.
Speaker 6 (04:11):
Part of it.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
So in the future, you know, Cowboys Nation, hopefully when
that day occurs, hopefully the organization will include the families
as well.
Speaker 8 (04:19):
Yeah, well that they will feel a little emptier now, guys,
I know, because we lost one Missus Price.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
Yes sucks man, or maybe you brought that up.
Speaker 8 (04:30):
I really did want to do a quick shout out
to her, because if you've been to a Dallas Cowboys game,
there is no doubt about it. You have seen her,
You've heard her, You've heard her one hundred percent. We
got a little tribute to miss Price beam if you
want to hit it real quick. I think we're going
(04:53):
to keep that as a part of get your Popcorn ready,
show nice at infinite.
Speaker 4 (04:57):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 8 (04:58):
Like I as a fan to see a fan that
committed basically my whole time being a fan. She's been
a fan forever, right, but seeing her at every game
always being a staple of seeing the Dallas Cowboys in person,
I mean, yeah, just a huge loss and shouts to
her and uh yeah, that's really really sad.
Speaker 6 (05:17):
She's just the sweetest thing.
Speaker 7 (05:20):
Just if you've ever had the pleasure of coming across
his Price, whether it been at the stadium or when
she travels to Oxnard and we'll see her at training camp,
you just couldn't meet a bigger hearted, just sweetie.
Speaker 6 (05:33):
She was just the sweetest thing.
Speaker 7 (05:36):
Of course, when you know during the practices and when
the games kick off, you know, she gets she gets fired,
she gets in that moment.
Speaker 6 (05:42):
Between places, she's just oh, sweetheart, how you doing? Just
so risk will Queen.
Speaker 4 (05:48):
She she was a stranger to nobody. No, he knew everybody.
She talked to everybody. She knew everybody by name, to
every player on the sideline. Not even oh yeah, I'm
talking everyone, security guard, it's camera operators, reporters, like all
of it.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
She knew everyone.
Speaker 4 (06:04):
I walk up there and I'm not on the sideline
for every game, I'm in the studio with Isaiah and
we do the sideline and stuff.
Speaker 3 (06:10):
For the preseason.
Speaker 4 (06:11):
She knew my name every single time, from like the
first time I was on the sideline, I was like,
miss Price knows my name. I was starstruck by her
knowing who I was at that point. And that just
encompasses what she meant to this organization, what she meant
as a fan, true fan of the year. We talk
about the Captain Morgan Fan of the Year. She could
have won it every single year.
Speaker 6 (06:31):
Oh yeah, it.
Speaker 8 (06:31):
Would have been Redundan if she won it every single year,
but she was well deserved.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
I could tell you, guys this, and this is no
disrespect to any other fans out there. Hopefully it's not
perceived as disrespect. When you're coming out to the field
for practice, especially like training camp, right, you hear you
hear it all the fans, right, so, but you have
a job to go do, right, So you hear the
people yelling, you can't stop for everybody, right, you still
gotta go work. I could tell you personally all that stuff,
(06:56):
it's you're you're grateful for it, but it's noise right
that you that you that part of the atmosphere you're
going out to go do your practice.
Speaker 6 (07:02):
If you hear.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
Missus Price's Miss Price's voice, you stop and you turn
around and you go say hi. It's not a not
that we that we ignore, right, but it just becomes
a part of the atmosphere. When you hear Missus Price's voice,
you stop, you figure out where the heck she's at.
You'll give her a hug, you give her some love,
and then you go on about your business like that.
And I can tell you, guys, I don't have any
(07:24):
I would have again, Miss probably on a hard drive.
Speaker 6 (07:26):
I'm pretty sure I have a picture of her.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
But like guys like Brady James and others that I've
seen that have already posted pictures today, like, that's what
she means and meant to everybody who is a part
of this organization, at least for the players. I can't
speak for everybody else, but from the player's standpoint, we
appreciate all fans, and she was the representation of all
the fans that we feel, so believe.
Speaker 6 (07:49):
There it is.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
She was the best.
Speaker 4 (07:51):
And condolences to her family, Condolences to everybody that was
impacted by her. We're gonna miss miss Price and she
is h I hope they saved that spot. She stood
in the same spot of the stadium, right by the tunnel,
right up in the front of the field suite.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
I hope they saved that spot that belongs to her. Yeah,
let's rope it off, let's put it there.
Speaker 4 (08:10):
They're doing construction on the stadium in that area right
now for the World Cup, and then they're gonna tear
it back down after the World Cup's over.
Speaker 3 (08:16):
Anyways, when they tear it down, just block that spot off.
That is that is missus.
Speaker 4 (08:21):
Price's spot forever and it needs to stay that for
for the rest of them.
Speaker 6 (08:25):
She had the voice where it's like, you're almost in trouble.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
Yeah, you know what I'm saying, you outside playing, you know,
like streetlights.
Speaker 6 (08:37):
I gotta I gotta.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
U the best? All right?
Speaker 4 (08:43):
Super Bowl was last or the two nights ago. I
almost said last night, but yeah, we had a day
in between there.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
We're gonna talk about some.
Speaker 4 (08:50):
Of the the the ways that we can learn from
this Super Bowl. We tend to do that every year,
but this year I feel like there are some specific
instances where the Cowboys could learn from how the Seahawks
and the Patriots both got to the Super Bowl and
how the Seahawks ultimately won the Super Bowl. We'll talk
about that in the second segment, but we've got some
news and notes to hit because there are a lot
of different storylines and impact pieces over the last week
(09:13):
that we never got the chance.
Speaker 7 (09:14):
The season is over, right, never First of all, everybody
zero and zero right now?
Speaker 4 (09:20):
Yes, so running back, there's only one defending champion running back.
Speaker 6 (09:24):
There were thirty one fielures there.
Speaker 7 (09:27):
It is so first and foremost, let's just talk about
how the Cowboys will have their first international game play
in years, and it will Yeah, we'll mark the first
time in franchise history the Cowboys will take the field
for football game in real.
Speaker 6 (09:42):
Dejon era, I look how excited he is. Look how
excited he is just because he gets to go on
to Charter.
Speaker 4 (09:48):
Probably can we can we take talking Cowboys on the road, Derek,
please please use.
Speaker 8 (09:52):
Someone give him the.
Speaker 6 (09:56):
It's going to be enjoyable. I'm implying. I'm applying to
be a writer for the CA this year.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
Maybe, so he has.
Speaker 7 (10:10):
Narrow I need to focus and uh kind of lock
in on. I need to get my Portuguese ready, That's
what I need to do. So that's just massive news
in and of itself. Obviously, the NFL schedule has yet
to be released. It will be released in May. But
fall intents and purposes, it's safe to assume that this
will probably be weak one.
Speaker 4 (10:27):
That's what it has been the uh the other game,
which was South Palo, right, Yeah, South Pallo was always
weak ones.
Speaker 6 (10:35):
Yeah, it just logistically it has to be. It makes sense.
Speaker 7 (10:37):
I mean it's a ten hour plus ten plus hour
flight in both directions, so it would make sense that
you would give the teams that are having this game
time to get there without a game preceding it. But
then it has to go into a mini bite week,
you would think, because you don't want to have another
game six days after you took an international trip to Brazil,
ten hour flight, all of that stuff. So Cowboys, and
(11:00):
that's pretty big news. So a lot of stuff came
out of the Super Bowl week as far as some
you know, free agency talk. You know Jeorge Pickens, obviously
he's the headliner. Javonte Williams, he's another one of the headliners. Uh,
it feels more and more like Javonte Williams. And this
let me, let me say this the right way, because
(11:21):
free agency is a two way street. So doesn't entirely
matter how confident one side of the negotiation is because
the other side has to agree. But I will say
that as as we have the conversation, the Cowboys are
extremely confident that they're going to retain Javonte Williams.
Speaker 6 (11:36):
Those talks have already begun. We believe in Javonte. Those
talks have already begun.
Speaker 7 (11:43):
So there is a growing chance, Yeah, there is a
growing chance that Javonte Williams could see a new contract
from the Cowboys, probably before.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
The league year opens in mid March.
Speaker 7 (11:57):
That is their goal, because he is not the one
that's in line for the franchise tag. That would be
one George Pickens.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
Isn't there somebody else who used to play here who
left the table up and said that they would be
willing to come that.
Speaker 7 (12:09):
Would do That would be Ricodoaldo recently said from Super Bowl,
from Pro Bowl WEEKND actually that he would be open
to returning to Dallas, which makes for an interesting discussion
because you know, and we'll get up Carolina to put
a pin in it, because this is that's a fun discussion.
Speaker 6 (12:27):
I want to talk what you do, but not right now.
But he did say it.
Speaker 7 (12:30):
That being said, George Pickens that is in line for
a potential franchise tag. The Cowboys have not broached talks
with his agent quite yet.
Speaker 3 (12:39):
Who is his agent?
Speaker 6 (12:40):
You know, a great relationship with him.
Speaker 4 (12:43):
David also represented who Michael. Oh, that's right, I believe Michael,
who is not salty at all? Right now, this podcast
in great spirits, totally cool.
Speaker 3 (12:57):
Yeah, he's a totally good guy. Yeah, that's not upset.
Speaker 7 (13:00):
Well, I will tell you that this time around, there
will be no negotiating with the player. George Pickens has
said time and time and time and time again he
will leave that to his agent, Will Gooletta. Those conversations,
as we insiders know, typically for the Cowboys, those ramp
up at the NFL combine.
Speaker 3 (13:16):
So for those wondering right before.
Speaker 4 (13:18):
So like next week, there's gonna be preliminary conversations to
possibly set up actual in personal conversations and then.
Speaker 6 (13:27):
You will That's when contract talks every year.
Speaker 7 (13:31):
And bring me back every So I know a lot
of people are wondering, well, you know, no, c and
Cayle and Isaiah and Josh if they're not having conversations
right now, should we be worried?
Speaker 6 (13:40):
Though?
Speaker 7 (13:40):
Now you should because that's not the formula for the Cowboys.
What I will say is, and I've said this before,
I know that it was recently put out there that
the Cowboys are expected to franchise tag. George Pickens shouts
out to our God, Dave help me because that was
a hilarious response. Yeah, so the sun is also expected
to rise tomorrow. Okay, that was the report, and I
thought the exact same thing. I was like what it
(14:01):
was like because I think I believe multiple need.
Speaker 6 (14:04):
The headline before the Super Bowl.
Speaker 3 (14:05):
They're expected to tag George Pickens.
Speaker 4 (14:08):
Yeah, I'm expected to get the work in the morning, like, Yeah,
it's gonna happen.
Speaker 7 (14:12):
We've said this, we need this time and again, and
I'm holding firm to my belief of this. I believe
that they will get some type of traction before and
through the combine.
Speaker 6 (14:23):
Will a deal get done too many moving factors.
Speaker 7 (14:26):
I don't know that a deal gets done before the
franchise tag deadline ends. It's February seventeenth to March third.
They cannot tag him before the seventeenth. They have to
tag him by the third of March if they're going
to do it. I believe he does get the tag.
I've said this time and time again, so that will
be no surprise to me. But it's a placeholder. It's
to buy time. It's to keep the other thirty one
teams from interfering, which gives the Cowboys carte blanche to
(14:47):
have those conversations with him all the way through mid July,
which is the deadline to get a deal done.
Speaker 8 (14:52):
Entirely, that's the one thing is expect the tag, Expect
the hope that extension extension before training camp.
Speaker 3 (14:59):
Yes, that's what you're looking at, guys.
Speaker 4 (15:01):
I did read a report, so this is not coming
from Kyle. There are nightmare scenarios out there where he
is tagged but refuses to play. I don't know if
that's the case. From his party and from his words
during Pro Bowl Week, it doesn't seem like that's a possibility.
It seems like, yes, he doesn't want to play on
(15:22):
the tag, but I don't think there's a holdout or
something like that that could possibly be a factor. But
there were reports that if there was any sort of
push back or upset nature with this tag, that the
Cowboys would be open to trading George Pickens.
Speaker 3 (15:37):
That would be the second.
Speaker 4 (15:40):
Conversation in the nightmare scenario. Would you ever see something
like that happening with George Pickens?
Speaker 7 (15:46):
Specifically, No, And the only scenario I could see it
happening would be a complete collapse of the negotiations.
Speaker 6 (15:57):
And when I say collapse, I.
Speaker 3 (15:58):
Mean ugly like Michaeh.
Speaker 7 (16:01):
Parsons end before the NFL Draft, Because I think that
the Cowboys, for as much as Jerry talked about, oh well,
it didn't matter if we did Michael's trade now in
September or he knows better than that, right, he knows
it did. So I think that there's a lesson to
be learned there in that if you're going to get
out of this situation by trading, you get the most
possible And what time of year do you tend to
(16:23):
get the.
Speaker 6 (16:23):
Most possible draft time? Right? Draft time.
Speaker 7 (16:25):
So when you look at the timeline, I mean, we're
having this conversation on February tenth, The draft is in April.
Negotiations haven't started yet, and they'll started here in a
week or two, right, based on the relationship between the
two parties. And you hear Jerry Jones basically saying, which
is rare. The salary CAP's not going to impact this
at all. Don't talk to me about the salary cap.
(16:46):
When it comes to George Pickens, I.
Speaker 6 (16:47):
Want him here.
Speaker 7 (16:48):
I want him here for the rest of my life.
He didn't say that, but it felt that way. And
George Pickens wants to be here. Dak Prescott wants George
Pickens be here. Ceedee Lamb, Yes, let's kill these narratives
right now. Ceedee Lamb said he'd be willing to rework
not restructure.
Speaker 6 (17:03):
Because that's a team thing, different thing, different thing.
Speaker 7 (17:05):
He'd be willing to rework his contract to keep George
Pickens here and does not care if George Pickens makes
more money in Dallas. He does not care. He Ceede Lamb,
multi time All Pro wide Receiver record Center, says he
doesn't care if George Pickens is making more money.
Speaker 6 (17:21):
He wants them to stay together in Dallas.
Speaker 8 (17:24):
Patrick does he walkers.
Speaker 7 (17:27):
Everybody is on board on all sides. Now, it's just
a matter of getting the numbers right.
Speaker 4 (17:31):
Do we believe CD when he says that, yes, Okay, yeah,
I'm just.
Speaker 8 (17:35):
I don't have any reason not to believe Ceedee Lamb.
Speaker 7 (17:37):
Look at the relationship between those two guys from minute
one throughout the abscirety of the sea.
Speaker 6 (17:43):
Also, aside from.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
That, Ceedee Lamb, like every other person of high caliber
in this league, understands that the next man is most
likely going to get more.
Speaker 4 (17:53):
But it's just howardless he was once the next next
in line himself.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
Do I think that he would feel some type of
way internally, Yes, I think that he would let that show.
Speaker 9 (18:01):
No.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
He also he understands the business, the nature of this business,
the next man up. If you perform well, should be
paid at least what you're getting paid, if not more.
It's just how it goes. It's not an indictment on
how the organization feels about you.
Speaker 6 (18:16):
The market is the market, Rick is the market.
Speaker 8 (18:18):
Ceedee Lamb said it when George Pickens walked through the door.
It's not about having one A, one B. We got
two ones.
Speaker 6 (18:23):
Yep.
Speaker 8 (18:24):
That's what you got to pay for.
Speaker 4 (18:25):
And that's what happened this year. Yeah, and that George
Pickens bet on himself or not really bet on himself.
It was the situation he was put in. But he
was put in a situation when Dallas traded for him
from Pittsburgh. It was put up or shut up. That's
what it ultimately ended up being for George Pickens because
he had one shot on the last year of his
rookie deal to prove to the rest of the league,
(18:45):
thirty one other teams and the Cowboys that you have
a capable number one wide receiver, whether that's in Dallas
or elsewhere.
Speaker 3 (18:56):
And he did. He did it.
Speaker 4 (18:57):
He kept in line, he molded with the offense. He
became the most significant weapon that Dallas had in twenty
twenty five. So with that being said, he's earned the
opportunity to that contract. Does the rest of the league
think so? I talked to a couple of people that
are well connected. They said, specifically, from this one is
coming out, the league doesn't see him from a trade
(19:21):
value standpoint. So if Dallas were to want to trade
George Pickens, what would you need for that to happen?
Speaker 3 (19:27):
Just you guys, specifically A one? You would need a one, right,
that's the conversations one.
Speaker 4 (19:33):
The highest conversation that I heard from other people around
the league was a second or a third.
Speaker 3 (19:39):
I'm not interested. Don't even talk to me if.
Speaker 4 (19:42):
That's the kid value is a one right now or
as a one right now on your team with CD
lamb than anything, get the contract done. I think it's
going to get done. And it's different. This is for
those that are comparing into the Mica situation. This is
not the Mica situation. I know it's the same agent.
I know there's a lot of conversation there. This is
not the same conversation and.
Speaker 8 (20:02):
Everything that we've talked about about rebuilding the defense and
rebuilding the team for next year to hopefully get into
the playoffs. And get further into the playoffs and actually
could be competing for a championship. One of those things
is like, let's improve on what the offense is this year. Yes,
if you remove George Pickens from that equation, you do
not have as good of an offense. Simply that, No,
you don't have the same weapons that you have. And
(20:23):
George Pickens definitely contributed a large part to the growth
of the offense this season because it wasn't just CD Lane.
Speaker 7 (20:31):
You get worse. And there's no bigger fan of Ryan
Flinoy than me. And at the same time, it's also
true that as we have this conversation, Ryan Flannoy and
George Pickens are not the same players. So to your point,
if George Pickens is not on this roster, not to
say the offense suddenly won't be good, but it takes
a step back, and a pretty sizable one, especially when
you look at from an assurance standpoint. You lost CD
(20:52):
Lamp for several games to injury last year. That was
as Ryan Flinoy was developing, and it was George Pickens
who stepped up in their role. Without George Pickens, it's
Ryan annoyed being asked to develop faster, and then who's
your two? If Ceedee Lamb is not on the field
to the injury, y isn't in the building, it would
have been jay Lon Tober.
Speaker 3 (21:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (21:08):
And the only reason I could the only reason I
consider this is if they move the number of picks
to like five years in advance and we can get
all I don't like that, all sorts of that. I'm all,
we got all sorts of players everything. Just give me
a whole eleven. The trade deadline is what end up
looking like. I'm good, keep it to what it is,
all right?
Speaker 4 (21:28):
When we come back, Seattle wins the Super Bowl twenty
nine thirteen over the New England Patriots. What did we
learn and what can Cowboys improve upon? Part of it
is what Josh just talked about. How did Seattle get
to that point and do the same thing, but just
on the opposite side of the football.
Speaker 3 (21:43):
When we return with more talking Cowboys right after.
Speaker 1 (21:45):
This, how's it going? You see that Cowboys game?
Speaker 3 (21:49):
Oh, I watched.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
I've been seeing some good things totally.

they got some fight.

My nickname in high school.
Speaker 3 (25:44):
You go all right.
Speaker 4 (25:45):
Seattle wins twenty nine thirteen over New England. It was
a dominant performance and oh my goodness, Seahawks just took
care of business. They go through the Dauntlin in the NFC.
They get it done, all predicated off of defense.
Speaker 2 (25:58):
Can we say real quick, yes, congratulations to former Cowboys yep, yes,
talking about d law yep and.
Speaker 6 (26:04):
Adam Dirty yep, yep.
Speaker 2 (26:05):
Seriously congratulations, Like I know this is diehard cowboy, you
know obviously that is what it is. But respect to
those that are willing to move on right, grateful for
where you've been. It's not easy to go reinvent yourself.
Is not easy to step out of your comfort zone
and then go have success. So congratulations to those guys
for getting to where they got and doing what they did,
(26:29):
and thank you for your time and doubts.
Speaker 3 (26:30):
Ye I put a tweet out there saying the same thing.
Speaker 4 (26:33):
Why would you tweet that yeah, you give me the
funny backup that people didn't understand either. But those are
two of the guys that I enjoyed covering the most
while they were here, because they're both genuine, genuine human beings.
First off, I even knew d Law from when I
was an intern back in twenty sixteen, in the early
years of him working up in my not even on
(26:55):
air side of things, and he was always verys with
his time. He was always very generous with the media.
He was always one of those guys. And then at
and Dirty was just salt of the earth, grinded out
sort of just smart football but even better person sort
of guys. And so I am genuinely happy for them,
I really am. And seeing the pictures of Adam Dirty
(27:17):
with the the what's the Union.
Speaker 3 (27:20):
Jack or not the Union jack?
Speaker 4 (27:21):
What is the British flag whatever, great Britain's flag, there's
a name for it. He had it draped over himself
and with the Lombardi Trophy. It made me emotional for him.
So I'm happy for his journey and what he got
to this point.
Speaker 2 (27:34):
So happy and gratulation in respect to d Law about
how he's handled these interviews, like I feel like he's
been super respectful, crazy professional like professional like literally like
this is like how you do it, this is how
you operate. He went about this. He could have said
some crazy stuff if he wanted to. Some of the
questions he was being asked.
Speaker 8 (27:52):
Arguably rubbed people the wrong way when he left.
Speaker 2 (27:55):
Allis absolutely when he made the statement that he doesn't
feel as if he's gonna win a super Bowl here
in Dallas, and he said, that's why I'm going to Seattle.
That was his decision, and he called the shot, and
he called his shot. It was It wasn't a hey,
Dallas is never going to win one. He's I'm not
gonna win one in Dallas. So that's how he felt.
He's in charge of his career. So if you took
(28:18):
that personally, that's on you. He made a personal decision
for him and it panned out. He had a vision
for himself. He executed that vision and it worked. Kudos
to him. And in the process, not one time did
he defile the freaking Cowboys, and he had plenty of
opportunities to do so.
Speaker 6 (28:35):
Even after he won the.
Speaker 2 (28:37):
Super Bowl, they asked him about that, he said, that's
that's behind me.
Speaker 8 (28:41):
That's like he did disrespectful honestly to ask him about
the Cowboys after you.
Speaker 6 (28:46):
Bating. That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (28:48):
He was a professional through it all.
Speaker 2 (28:50):
So leading up to the Super Bowl, he asked a
thousand times about it, and especially specifically about that particular
statement that he made in reference to not winning a
super Bowl here in Dallas and not going to And
then even after he won the Super Bowl, one of
the first questions they ask him is about Dallas, and
he stayed true, respectful through it.
Speaker 6 (29:07):
Also like, kudos, that's not easy.
Speaker 2 (29:09):
It's not freaking easy in this world where there's freaking
clickbait and everybody's trying to get you to drop one liner.
Speaker 6 (29:15):
He so like respect, all respect.
Speaker 8 (29:17):
And also just consider this and have this sort of
outlook on things whenever he said that, whenever he said
I'm not going to win to just think about how
much the team has changed since that statement, I mean,
and the strides that this team has made. Granted they
didn't have a winning season necessarily, but I mean, this
team is a completely different look from the from the state.
(29:39):
Whenever he felt like he had to leave and go
compete for a super Bowl, it is night and day different.
Speaker 2 (29:44):
One of the people that he had personal and personal
and public beef with, right to our knowledge at this
point was Micah. Right, they had a tip. Neither played
for the Cowboy, neither played for them anymore. Yep, sorry,
So whatever dynamic was going on in that locker room
may have very well been true at that point. Yeah, right,
that that made it was enough of a stir where
(30:05):
the d Law at that time in this organization felt
as if this is not the vision for me. So
he left. He removed himself, and then Micah got removed.
Speaker 8 (30:15):
So you know, Michael's doing good podcasts from the super
Bowl that helas playing.
Speaker 6 (30:22):
He lost point to d last point.
Speaker 7 (30:24):
But you know, in addition to all of the things
that you guys are saying about d Law, what I
respect the most is the fact that for so often
when he was here, especially over that I say, the
past two or three last seasons that he was here,
there was a pocket of the fan base, not many,
but there was a pocket of the fan base that
used the world washed, Oh he's washed, to get him
out of here, get him out of here. Not only
(30:44):
did he go and stand on business and get his
Super Bowl in the first year outside of the organization.
Speaker 3 (30:50):
He was a key contributor throughout.
Speaker 7 (30:52):
Yeah, he was like no one in a leader and
a leader, no one in that pocket who of Cowboys
fans that say, oh de Law's washed, getting my out
of here. No one can look at him and say, well,
did you even play bro?
Speaker 6 (31:04):
Yeah? Yeah, he absolutely was.
Speaker 4 (31:07):
He the best player on the defense. No, but was
he The word that.
Speaker 7 (31:11):
Was used to describe him was perfect in the Super
Bowl force multiplayer. That was exactly what he was the
entirety of the season and in the Super Bowl as well,
up to and through the Super Bowl. So he was
a key contributor, He was a starter, He was a
leader in that locker room fifty one. So I say
that to say, this is not a guy who went
and rode someone's coattails to finally getting the ring.
Speaker 6 (31:31):
Right.
Speaker 7 (31:32):
He didn't chase the ring. He took a bet on
himself take them to them. He took at Yeah, he
didn't take them to the ring.
Speaker 4 (31:37):
I was one of the people that when he had
made that statement. Initially I chuckled at it. I scoffed
at it, because you're joining a team with a losing
record and no real intention of being a Super Bowl contemded.
Speaker 3 (31:50):
You didn't see division point, he didn't the division. I
didn't see it, nobody saw it.
Speaker 6 (31:53):
He did.
Speaker 4 (31:53):
And he's a competitor, so you expect him to say
stuff like that, And so when I scoffed at it,
you scoff at it as a competitor yourself, somebody that's
around this team and saying, yeah, we're gonna still push
and try and do what we're gonna do and whatever
it ends up being. But you never really know until
you're in that moment, like Dila did, just what he
believed in himself and what he was betting on in himself.
Speaker 3 (32:14):
It's impressive.
Speaker 6 (32:14):
You're naturally instinct is to think that.
Speaker 3 (32:16):
It's spite, Yeah, and it was never that.
Speaker 4 (32:19):
It was never that now so that you can kind
of You could see that in the reactions that he
had on social for sure with other former Cowboy employee
or not employees, but former Cowboys players that are no
longer with the team anymore. The reaction and then the
co reaction and the back and forth that you saw
on social from that moment, it showed up in the
in the long run, didn't it. And I think if
(32:39):
you're a Cowboys fan, it's hard for me to say
that that was all in spite to Dallas.
Speaker 3 (32:45):
It was mostly in spite to the.
Speaker 6 (32:46):
Situation which has.
Speaker 3 (32:48):
Shifted from that point.
Speaker 4 (32:49):
So that brings me to my next question of how
did Seattle get there? They had incredible not I wouldn't
even say luck, but they had an incredible percentage of
hitting on first round picks. And just for those that
watched the Draft show as well, we're gonna talk about
this a little bit today on the Draft Show too.
Speaker 3 (33:06):
But think of back two years ago.
Speaker 4 (33:08):
The twenty twenty three NFL Draft, I guess technically three
years ago.
Speaker 3 (33:12):
They had two first round picks.
Speaker 4 (33:14):
They had a selection at number five, top five pick,
Devin Wood Witherspoon, who was the key contributor of that
defense and a legitimate force.
Speaker 3 (33:24):
In the secondary.
Speaker 4 (33:25):
And their second pick was at pick number twenty happens
to be the same selection the Cowboys had, Jackson Smith
and Jigba.
Speaker 3 (33:32):
You heard that name a couple times through the playoff run.
You hear that Offensive Player of the Year.
Speaker 8 (33:36):
Maybe I didn't quite hear it on the NFL Honors night.
Speaker 4 (33:38):
But yeah, I didn't hear that name specifically from Drewski,
but there were some there were some times he was
mentioned quite often, and there's a good reason for that.
Speaker 3 (33:46):
But then the next year they hit on Byron Murphy.
Speaker 4 (33:49):
The next year after that, twenty twenty five, they get
Grey Zabel, who didn't play a ton, but he played
a little bit back and.
Speaker 3 (33:55):
Forth, but he was a rookie. So my point being.
Speaker 4 (33:59):
Is Dallas as always been a draft and developed team.
But in order to do that, you have to get
guys that develop and develop quickly. Who you need to
see Dallas take a step forward without even talking about
revamping the defense this offseason, without even having that conversation,
because everybody knows that's the case.
Speaker 6 (34:16):
Guys who are on its current right, who.
Speaker 4 (34:17):
Are on this current roster that you need to take
a huge step forward, because that's what Jackson Smith and
Jigba did. Devin Witherspoon was already NFL ready, but he
took steps.
Speaker 3 (34:25):
And strides as well.
Speaker 4 (34:26):
Who do you need to see it from in order
for Dallas to get where Seattle ended up get?
Speaker 7 (34:29):
You know what, all the names that you said, don't
forget Witherspoon, right, And in thinking of Witherspoon, twenty.
Speaker 6 (34:36):
Three first had a tremendous impact on top five pick.
Speaker 7 (34:39):
Yep, I'm going to although this person I'm saying about
to say is not a first round pick, Savone Revel
the Cowboys. When you look at what the Cowboys are
a cornerback wise man, dire streets isn't even the word.
I mean, it's worse than dire straits. As we talk
ahead of free agency and ahead of the next draft.
And to be fair to Saphone Revel, because we have
to be fair here. He was coming off of torn
(35:00):
acl He did not have a full off season of
actual training camp or training camp at all because he
was on you know, the pup list and whatnot. So
nfilists for him. But this is going to be the
first full off season healthy. He gets to develop in
a first healthy off season under Christian Parker and Derek
Ansley and Ryan Smith. And now the Cowboys have hired
(35:22):
Robert Muschamp, nephew of Will must Champ.
Speaker 6 (35:24):
Can I say it? Can I say it?
Speaker 10 (35:26):
No?
Speaker 3 (35:26):
Yeah, go dogs as assistant secondary coach.
Speaker 7 (35:30):
So you coach for Texas now, well yeah yeah, well yeah,
but before you got there, where was he was that
Georgia who gave him the Netty.
Speaker 6 (35:37):
Okay, so there's that.
Speaker 7 (35:39):
But when you talk about how the Cowboys are structuring
their defensive coaching staff from the top, Christian Parker moving downwards,
highly focused, highly focused on improving the secondary, I'm looking
at the development Isaiah. You talked about it a lot
last year. The position coaches are critical and developing. The
(35:59):
Cowboys have suffered in not developing certain young guys in
certain positions. I want to see Savone Revel take a
huge stride. Does that huge stride mean for me a
Pro Bowl stride? I would love to see it.
Speaker 3 (36:10):
It'd be great.
Speaker 7 (36:11):
That's not what I'm looking for, though, I'm looking for.
I'm looking for defensive player of the year. I'm looking
for seventeen plus games from Savone Revel as a starter
playing at a a high level, define high level. I'm
not saying he can go Pro Bowl. I'm not saying
he can't. But if you give me him playing at
(36:32):
a high level, seventeen plus games, which told me goes
to his availability in a situation where you don't know
what dron Bland's durability looks like with his foot, it's
the post digs era. I like Reddy Stewart Keilllyn Carson,
Steve needs developing development. You got to solve this cornerback position, and.
Speaker 6 (36:48):
You might solve it in the draft.
Speaker 7 (36:49):
Why the big from Savona?
Speaker 3 (36:53):
Why are you state that?
Speaker 2 (36:54):
I hope and pray that Revel gets help, he gets
back to what he was.
Speaker 8 (37:01):
In college, an actual off season.
Speaker 6 (37:03):
An actual off season.
Speaker 2 (37:06):
With that said, I I.
Speaker 6 (37:12):
Have never been science and science.
Speaker 2 (37:17):
I personally am not a big believer that cornerbacks can
return to what they were after tornasios. Okay, why that
position specifically, the mechanics of the position. Elaborate, the backpedaling,
the contortion on the knee, the reactionary as a receiver,
(37:38):
tight end, whatever offensive player. It's it's easier because you're
you are initiating the movements, right, You're predicting those movements.
You're you're not reacting your body's response. Yeah, your body's
reactionary mechanism is completely different than the initiation. Right If
that hopefully that makes sense to people. I just not
(37:59):
a big believer. I hope, I really do. I hope
that from somebody who's had a thousand injuries, I really
hope that he gets back to what he was. It's
sometimes it's a dragon that you just that you don't
catch at that position.
Speaker 6 (38:12):
Group.
Speaker 2 (38:12):
So in terms of what I believe, who I believe
on this roster is capable of stepping up his two guys,
I think that drom Bland needs to get back to
who he was. He has a ceiling that he has
touched before. He's touched the ceiling tile, but he's not
(38:33):
he's not close to that ceiling toile right now.
Speaker 6 (38:35):
He has to get back to that.
Speaker 2 (38:36):
So get back up on the ladder, get close to
the ceiling towel and hopefully pop it up and pop
it open and see that you still.
Speaker 6 (38:41):
Have more to go. I'm not sure where he's.
Speaker 2 (38:45):
At in his mental space right now to believe that
he's that he has more than what he's already attained.
That's my number one. So I think Bland has more
than what he has shown. I'm not sure if he
believes it. Second person that I think could be a
tremendous impact on this entire defense without having to go.
Speaker 6 (39:03):
Acquire somebody as Ready Stewart. I think Ready Stewart.
Speaker 3 (39:07):
Showed some stuff is safety.
Speaker 2 (39:09):
The versatile safety that that you're going to be probably
looking for. They don't see him as a safety, and
I hope the previous previous the previous.
Speaker 6 (39:21):
Regime did not see him as a safety.
Speaker 2 (39:23):
When I watched the Seattle Seahawks and I see their
defense and I see how versatile they are in the
different offers in memory, I'm not saying Ready Stewart's.
Speaker 6 (39:35):
Him, but I'm saying that he has that versatility.
Speaker 2 (39:39):
He doesn't have the size, but he has a versatility
and the physicality. Somebody who can go play safety and
come down to play nickel. I think if you train
him at that and you instill in him a sense
of confidence from that meeting room, from the coaches that
say you're our guy. Belief from coaches as a player
(40:02):
makes all the difference in the world and the player.
I repeat, when you have a coach that believes in
you and instills in you the faith that you are
more than what you've shown and we're going to stay
committed to you, you will be surprised at what you get.
And I know people are like, you're tripping. Riddy Stewart
is just a guy that got pulled it. I I
(40:24):
see it, and I hope that they see it too.
So I think that he's somebody that you can plug in.
There as a strong safety that can come down and
play Nickel when you want to go, when you want
to go Din. He's a guy that you can keep
in the game, bring him down and cover your guys.
Speaker 4 (40:42):

To Talking Cowboys.
Speaker 4 (42:54):
Back here on Talking Cowboys, presented by Black Rifle Coffee Company.
The official coffee of the Dallas Cowboys' segment is brought
to you by in Visi Line, the official smile of
the Dallas Cowboys. Back with Patrick Nosey Walker, Josh Rodriguez,
Isaiah standback, Chris Beam in the back. I'm Kyle Yeoman's
all right, Josh who needs to take a step up?
And I kind of laughed a little bit at some
of the comments here, like the whole defense. I agree absolutely,
(43:15):
but we're being specific here. Who are some of the
names that you own to take a step well?
Speaker 8 (43:19):
I mean, I know we're talking about defense, but I
need to pivot. Pivot, pivot a little bit because there's
one particular offensive player that you've invested a lot in
first round pick that absolutely needs to step up in
a big way because we're at a point of diminishing
returns here. We can't be picking another offensive lineman. Okay,
(43:40):
so give me Tyler Gitton in a big, bad way.
That guy needs to step up, and not only that,
but remain healthy through the entire season. Please get through
a whole season, but get some of that dirty back.
You know what I'm saying, Like he's I'm I've lost
confidence in him because I think he lost confidence in
himself of the last I don't think there was that
(44:02):
like grit there that you saw in his first at
training camp, his first training camp, I think it diminished
a bit. I think he says a lot of the
right things. I think he's a good he's a man
of good character.
Speaker 6 (44:14):
But to me.
Speaker 4 (44:17):
Be a little nasty, is that just a byproduct of
trying to stay healthy and he's limiting his self to
try and get through it?
Speaker 8 (44:25):
Is that part that would that would be a disappointment, honestly,
that really would, I hope, because you need to leave
it all out I.
Speaker 3 (44:30):
Agree, you absolutely need to.
Speaker 8 (44:32):
And I think with as much as the Cowboys have
invested in the offensive line, especially the first round picks,
early picks Cooper Babe, notwithstanding a third round pick, right,
but if that comes to pass where next year you
are kind of like iffy about the offensive line yet again,
and he's kind of in and out like it's just
that would just be a huge dispointment. And I think
(44:53):
you could even retain Terrence Steel this year if you
have a huge step from from Tyler guy.
Speaker 4 (45:01):
My question then turns to and I'm curious on what
Isaiah has to say here, but when it comes to
Guidon specifically, he right now is his concern is around
his availability. But at one point does he become damaged
goods in your eyes and on paper, because at some
point it's just the path of no return and at
(45:21):
some point you can't trust him to be the left
tackle of the thing.
Speaker 2 (45:24):
Yeah, I was dem and diminished goods too. I had
a ton of injuries and they got to the point
where they couldn't trust the fact that I was gonna
be available, right So that's a big portion of it.
I don't obviously, that is a portion of it for him.
I don't think he's not there yet.
Speaker 6 (45:37):
It's for him.
Speaker 2 (45:38):
I think it's mostly mental and I identified that long, long, long,
long time ago, just watching how he operates in practice
and things of that nature. I just don't think that
that dog switches on.
Speaker 8 (45:50):
This is the same guy that held his own against
Miles Garrett.
Speaker 3 (45:52):
Correct. Yes, yes, in game one, in game one.
Speaker 8 (45:55):
It's in the first game of his career. Get back
to that man.
Speaker 6 (45:59):
It's just mental a decision.
Speaker 4 (46:00):
Yeah, all right, that does it for us. Here I'll
talk about Cowboys. I know these forty five minute shows.

Beam in the back. I'm Kyle Yoma saying so long
