Player's Lounge: Will The Cowboys Better in 2020?

trying to make sure you get all your information. We keep you connected here during this time, and I know thanks you at home, you're trying to follow you. So we're happier being a part of your day. Scrugs. Joined by over Dallas Cowboys plays, Danny McCray and Barry Church. Fellas, how are we doing here? As who starts making voyage of broadcasting from our home? From our home? This is right now. I mean I got a little hetcho from the house, but other than that, and I'm ready to go. Yeah,

this is this is definitely weird. But uh, this is definitely weird, but it'll be a little interesting. Uh, we'll have a good time as usual. No no worries on this end. Oh Danny mcrage lost mc crae here. Okay, well we'll try and hustle, hustle Danny back here. Free agency is obviously the biggest thing going on right now, Craig. They they have us by trying. Free agency going here. So that's mainly what we're talking about in terms of things going on other sports. Everything's kind of been shut

down here. Um for me in church, I'll ask you this out of the gate. What was your in your mind the biggest free agent loss for the Dallas Cowboys. You and I are singing the same tune right there. I love what Quinn was able to do, and it was smart signing by the Chicago Bears. And one thing I truly believe people forgot is he missed the first

two games of the year because of the suspension. Who knows how many more sacks that he could have gotten, especially when you think about those first couple of games. It was what the Giants game, and I can't remember the second game they played. It was another easy appointed opponent as the Cowboys. It was Washington. It was Washington, So you know, those those two games, getting when they made that trade from Miami. But look, this is a part of the game. The Cowboys are gonna have to

put that money toward the offense. And so Quinn was the guy they couldn't lose. All respect of Byron Jones and getting that big bat contract for the Miami Dolphins. I think he'll play well in that scheme. Yeah. I mean, at the time, the highest fade cornerback for about I don't know, seven eight days until Slay was straighted the slave. Slay like, I need three dollars Yeah, Slay said, I need three dollars more, you know, So he needs to

be the highest fade guy. So slave becomes the highest play guy going to the Eagles, and so Jones I think is gonna fit well down in Miami. Good luck to him. But I do believe Robert Quinn was the biggest free agent loss. I'll say this to me right now. The biggest loss for the Dallas Cowboys I believe they suffered this offseason the loss of center Travis Frederick. You guys know what traps, Yeah, you know what he meanted.

He retired at twenty nine years old. He came back last season after missing twenty eighteen because of the Guiabore syndrome. But everything Travis meant as far as being a leader in the locker room, being a five time Pro Bowl or being a guy who worked so well with the quarterbacks from Tony Romo and Dak Prescott. It's hard to

lose someone like that. And so while Robert Quinn is gonna be lost on defense, to me, the biggest loss for the Cowboys that they've suffered this offseason is Travis Frederick. Your thoughts glue to the top of the the line. Point now where they gotta go Henlover back of the old line. When you need the guy like that, you're definitely gonna lose. You're definitely gonna have a big, substantial fall backwards as

far as offensive line is considered. They may go in the draft they make promote the mooning us, we'll see, but Chaffers special's approved and all star better shot here and losing him is gonna be huge. And I mean he was off us because he was one of the festive leaders on the team. As soon as he came in as a rookie. I mean, he was already getting the praise from the veteran players how far he worked out how he understood the game, how big of a

student of the game he was. And he just think to me about him was he was able to improve each and every year until the illness got him. But each and every year he just got better and better. It was a Pro Bowl, and it was an All Pro and it was Colo Bow All Pro together. I mean, good guys, one of the best off the linement I that seek to it. And that's the game unbelievable. So I'm gonna be a huge, huge lost for as Cowboys offense. Um, so I'm gonna have to go a bringing fools now,

trafispresect is gonna be I'll say this. So he didn't even cray back up WiFi. Man, I just I just wanted to throw a little bit in Narrol Travis Fridgick. I just saw that he got voted for the Air Black Courage Award going into retirement. So that just shows you what what his teammates and Paris think of them. Yeah, but Craig, you faded out a little bit here. I'll tell you what. Um, you know, I'm not gonna be like coach Nick Saban and jump on you and make

you to get out of here. Okay, So so I'm not gonna do that that that role time mentality, but you know, we will continue to work with your hero on um. I feel like the Cowboys do not have to address the center position in the draft. I think they've got any house candidates already. I talked to someone about Joe Looney and he told me Joe Looney is as good as fifty percent of the starting centers in the National Football League right now. So they believe that

you go with Joe Looney, you're good. Joe Lanny's athletic guy. And then Cotter McGovern who started one year at center at Penn State. And thing about mcgovernor, I was told that he's a real strong guy and once he gets a hold of you, it's hard to move here. So you've got him, You've got Adam Redman, and then Carter Williams has some center flexibility. So I believe the Cowboys, with the draft picks they have, I think we're going

to see them use them more on defense. If if the Cowboys are going to draft the offensive line, I don't think it would be a center. I think it could be a swing tackle because you've lost Cam Fleming here and a couple of years ago, they tried to do it with Chads Green. Chaz Green didn't work out.

They spent a third round pick on him. But with what we've seen through the past couple of years of tirings back and then we saw a little bit of injury to Lyle Collins last year, I would think if they use an offensive line pick, it would be on a swing tackle. I agree with you on that one.

I think they definitely need having a swing tack or somebody who could be personal enough to play you know, interior to the line as well to outside because what we've seen these a couple of years of injuries happen, especially on the hamed the line. I mean, you're getting kid, everything will play. We had back problems, you had ankle problems, So we know bad for the offid line injuries and so I think they should addressed it, maybe in a

later round. But I'll be able to get him, you know, a low costing creagent that will be able to become a swing pack or versus officive lineman piece for them. But um, I think he's gonna alloyed for Frederick. I mean, he wasn't the strongest or wasn't the most physical guy, but he had a mean his mental aspect for the game was just unremarkable. So I think that's who the

losing move it the most. Not as much as his play play making ability and ability the block, but ability to get to all the officive lineman and the rights plays at the right time. I think that'll be hard to to address it house. The interesting things and thing is Cowboy fans. Cowboy fans look at this and they're like,

oh my gosh, oh my gosh, my god. But when you start looking at other offensive lines the National Football even with the loss of Travis Frederick, the Cowboys are still one of the best offensive lines going in football. So if you got a plug in Joe Lanny Joe, or you're bringing kind of government miscover his rookie years, you're still gonna be better off than about sixty five other teams in the National Football League when it comes to how be good to happen, good line to play.

So I think the Cowboys and the big question to me is this new coaching staff, coaches, how they get ahead and get in with these guys. And obviously, but everything going on with COVID nineteen they're not gonna have that a building right now to get things to be gin here a give to what they want to do if they want. But I just believe that's what I believe. That's what the Cowboys have, and I think they will continue to have. Even twenty eighteen traps that was a

playoff team. So I don't want to minimize the loss of tracks, but I do below you the Cowboys collective elective as they used they still be strong, strong, I can I agree with you on that one. What what coach in my mind is, are they gonna be able in my team without you know, Travis Pretick out there calling the shot? Are they're gonna be able to run the ball as efficiently as they had in the passo?

We've known that this team, you know, they drive off the run and the pad can kind of be My question to you would be, will they be able to you know, run the ball and be that physical team without their leader at the center if they're healthy. I don't see why they can't. I mean to keep in mind, you got one of the best or the best running back in the National Football League, So you give you know, you give Zeke just a little bit he's gonna be

able to take off and blue the rest. And I just have this faith that Mike McCarthy's gonna come in here that has an offensive play caller and a guy who's who's so good and putting up points. I don't worry about the Cowboys offense. I think the first three to four games you're gonna have a little bit of worry because especially depending on how much time they get to think with this team, install what they want that. But I just believe, you know, over time, this offense

is gonna be good Berry Mike all right. That that is a concern last year, and I know they're making some changes. I love the fact they brought in Gerald McCory. They're trying to get bigger upfront, Don Terry Poe or there's still those conversations that deal have been locked up just yet to my knowledge, but I know he's a guy they want to bring in here. So if you bring in a pole, you bring in a Gerald McCoy,

you're bigger upfront. One of my concerns is, and when I talk to other people across the NFL, they said the Cowboys just too small up front. Then Rod Marinelli liked those quick guys. But if you could get your hands on those quick guys, you could go ahead and tear them up. And you just look at how they got beat by the Rams in that playoff game in Los Angeles, and I was out there. I mean Todd Gurley had over one hundred yards. C J. Anderson had

over one hundred yards. Think it was like two hundred and almost two hundred and seventy some yards on the ground. I mean, they absolutely just ran through the Cowboys. So if the Cowboys were not able to stop the run up front, they would get beating a lot of games. And I just like the fact that Mike McCarthy and Mike no One already realized and hey, look we're gonna get away from these little dudes who are quick. We're gonna get some beef up front. If you stop the

run up front. I think you're gonna help out Jalen Smith, You're gonna help out Lake Vanderesh, You're gonna help out Sean Lee. So get better up front right there in the middle, and try and put some pass rush also on the other team up front through the center and guard position. So I love, I love what they can do with those guys, especially, they can get Pole locked up. But I love McCoy coming to town pretty much run freely to make plays like they did back in two

thousand and eight teams. But only concerned about having those big guys in the middle is are they going to be able to produce the pass rush? Are those guys they're they're they're good enough to kind of get that interior push, but they're gonna be able to push supporter back to get that ball out of his hands quick Um. In the past, I think they would have. I mean, when they were younger, they were very studs in the

in the middle, getting back and everything. But these past a couple of years, I haven't really seen a lot of the numbers from a boy um little Pole. But I'm concerned about if they're gonna be able to get a significant pass rush or a consistent pass rush. So that's what we missed last year with the defensive mind seeing we had you know, spotty pass rushers here and there, you know, taken advantage the work with the rest of

the deeper the line. So I soon to see if these guys, you know, they're big or run stuff or are they gonna be able to generate a pass rush. I believe they might be able to it. So that'll take a lot of the pressure off of the secondary. And we know the secondary need a little bit of upgrade as they lost keep, they locked Tyron Jones, so they're gonna need a little bit of upgrade. But hopefully the deep of the line can get that pass rush in there. They kind of make their jobs eve here.

But we shall see. So I'll stay with you on that point there. So I'm thinking of, all right, we take Lords at a defensive end and put Tyron Crawford back on the defensive end. That Gerald McCoy get down, Terry Pole locked up right there. So if those are four guys that you've got rolling right there right there, I feel like that's upgrade a little bit from what we saw last year. And yes, that's say upgrade even with Quinn going from the standpoint if you're better from

the tackles. I mean, look, I mean, look, Quinn coming off the edgels. That help. But guys, if we could just run through the middle, you know how much did that really help me? Sometimes I just think that the Cowboys overall, we're gonna have an opportunity to be better under my older just by being thinker up. And then we'll see what other editions they can make. A free aid may see and see what they do with the

draft here. And I know a lot of Cowboy fans right now like we're not better than what we were last year. Okay, I've heard people say that, and I come back and I'll say, yes, some good players were from Robert Quinn, Byron Jones. But with all those great players, this team didn't go anybody because the team didn't make the playoff. So so sometimes it's not so much who are the players. I do believe coaching Matt One thing I was watching on HBO that that's great documentary on

Belichick and saveing Belichicks says you cannot overcome back. And there are times last year defensively you're watching this game and very play wondered what were the Cowboys doing defensively? What was the scheme, what was the playing? I just believe that they've got better the coaches here overall, from the head coach on down, and I think the Cowboys have an opportunity if they can get some more the pieces they wan't mind up to be better collectively collective.

I agree with you. I think they can be better collectively. I think the problem they had last year was they were especially in the secondaries. They think they were thinking too much robotics. They were thinking too much hard. I gotta be twenty yards deep, right on the hash. I gotta to say right to the ball thrown. I can't. I can't think outside the box. That I can't. You know, if like we saw Tyron Matthew out there doing the playoffs, you know, he would have a guy man and man coverage.

If he seems them hoping, he let that guy go and they'll make a play. But I mean that also has to do with, you know, the coaches trusting the players and that sort And I don't know if the coaches fully trust the players last year because I feel like a lot of the time they were just stuck on exactly where they have to be, have to be at this landmark. If I'm not here, you're gonna get a minus. And they would let him play going by. So I think we have, you know, the Kaka Ditton there.

He's a little bit more opportunist to keep a little bit more let me go get this ball, and that's what this defense needs, especially the secondary. They need turnover, they need takeaways. We just didn't get enough of that last year. I think with the additions that we had maybe a couple here during the draft or the Resci creator, so we might get a couple of ball ball hoops, but we need people to go get that ball, and

we need coaching. Repor did that as well. If they if they say them, they say, you know, I don't come, I don't play it. Don't don't let up our coach and bring you down. Don't out there and make play. You know, we tell you to be here at this point. But if you're want to make an indefensive somewhere real, I mean you're not gonna get at ninetus for that.

So I think we just need a little bit more that and hopefully just coaches, staff and the players that we brought it and uh, you know, do that for us. Asking around about the Cowboys situation for defensively differ and I was told by someone by someone that the problem the problem of watching Marion Elli and Christie Shard and try to work together. They were trying to marry true

different thoughts defensively. What Chris thought about defense and what he wanted to run was different than RHY, so they tried to marry it together and it didn't work. Ultimately, it did not work that they needed to go with either one, either go with Marion Ellie's philosophy or Chris's philosophy. But they tried to marry two the philosophies and it just didn't work. Didn't work. Mike Nolan's going to be

able to do exactly what he wants to do. So if he comes in with his message and he wants to get it done to get I think that right. They are marry just to try to what you were talking about. The guys might be able to play a little bit more freely, especially on the defensive here to just make him dog on plays Haha. Clinton Dixon, I was happy to see him come in here. I for one, hated the loss of Jeff He. I feel that Jeff he did a very good job considering what he was

asked to do. I think there are times where you were fans needed to blame the organization more so than to play. I mean, Jeff was a backup player where they were asking to start. I think jeffs as a backup player is going to help the Raiders out. I don't think he's a guy that needs to be a starter, but he's a guy that could come in here and help me out, especially all special teams. So I think, haha,

Clinton Dick's back there will help them out. I do believe that they're going to address the position in the draft, and I don't know about a first round pick, but I do believe safety will be addressed. And I just at this point in time that they're probably gonna have to go and get themselves a first round corner. And I just think he's having one, you know, one philosophy versus trying to marry to marry that alone should help make the Cowboys out one quarter one twenty twur I

got I agree with you one hundred. I mean, I've never had you, never had got to play you organization where you had two basically different philosophy trying to marry into one, like you know with Marion Ellie system and when I played in and he was a type of guy that had you know, you gotta be here, you gotta be twenty yards deep here at the hash or you gotta go to the top of your landmark when

you're here. And I've never got to play potisial Shard, but from what I hear, he's kind of more roofly, you know, do the techniques that fit your scheme and fits how you want to play and how you make plays. So those are two, you know, things that are condicted themselves. And when you're a player out there and you're thinking about all, I gotta do it how marry Marion Ellie wants, but I can make a play how fish for Shard wants. It just slows you down altogether when you're thinking too

much on the field. So hopefully, you know, when Michael Nolan system comes in here, it's a little bit more slim down and these guys can just go off there and play fast and make plays and I don't have to worry about thinking too much or thinking if I'm on this landmarker, if I'm gonna get a minus here. And that's what you have when you have two defensive coordinators on the same team trying to trying to marry

two different philosophies. They think it was a good fit, and it ended up not working for the Capital last year. So Marinelli moved on to the Raiders stuff. He got picked up John Grew and brought him in here. John Gruden and Marionelli works together, and so Marionelli, Barnell and right now cut shards. He's not working anywhere at all. Right, got I'm surprised and nobody not in the NFL picked up for Charda, for Sharon at all. Yeah, he surprised out there too. I mean, I saw you had some

head coaching um interviews more in the off season. But I'm surprised and mean, hen he was a successful coach to Seattle. He came here and kind of brought that fired intensity. It just didn't work out the way, you know, we we wanted it for worldout pick. I feel like he's a good coach and kind of got the attention of his players, especially the young terys. I feel like he was able to relate to a lot of the

players out there. And I'm surprised, just like you, that nobody has seemed to pick him up about the more for the team. But you know, maybe he wanted to be a coming head coach, so he's waiting for a head coaching opportunity. I'm not quite sure. I'm gonna try this one more time. Was a tough part of the National Football you know, everybody wants to touch when you're

not making the playoffs and people thinking cold product. Everybody who's runs away because you think about it, the year before when the Cowboys making the playoffs, you're doing it. It didn't after no interviewing in Miami, and the next year Cowboys don't make the playoffs. Bully, you know, he fell off the map. So that's that's the cold part. Man trying to try to get through the dCas how you stay hot and how you doing them right? You don't, but I think Chris. I think Chris will be fine.

It's just unfortunately because when you when you lose like this man, nobody wants to touch everyone with. Sean Payton had the head coaching offer from the Oakland Raiders after one year with the Cowboys, and he turned out the jo offer from how Davis. Jerry Jones gave him a million bucks to come back, and then the Cowboys are getting to make the playoffs the next year. Nobody called s okay. Sean Cline sniffed. They go back to the playoffs the next year after that, and then he interviewed.

Sean interviewed in Green Bay. He really wanted the packer's job. Back with to Mike McCarthy, did Sean got the job in? That's how the thing goes, man. That's why so many times, as a coach and even a player, if you got the opportunity to jump on something, you better get it because everybody will quickly forget any year how hurt you were and not always understand what happened, what's the circumstances,

stances happened from you to hear year. But you know, you set like you forgot how to coach, you know. But that's just how it is, man, how it is man, And you're right, and that's exactly how it is. It's just the NFL means, you know, not for long or if it's yes, so yeah, have you done for me lately? Type league? So like you said, you know, if you if you go seven or nine one year, nobody's gonna be knocking at your door, even if you're a safe

or a player. And if you get you know, no interceptions and your team was terrible, nobody's gonna come knocking at your door until maybe an injury happened or something like that. So it's always you know, what have you done for me lately? You could have made the Pro Bowl and All Pro in two thousand and eighteen. Two thousand and nineteen, you had a slow year. Man, if you're creating two thousand and twenty, you might not see

anything until the way through the season. So it's always about what you can do for me lately, and you always got to set up your game that craze your game. And there's always gonna be somebody out there trying to look. Yeah, I mean we can look at Robert Quinn. I mean, here's a guy that the Cowboys, guy from Miami. I forgot about him. It came up to the Cowboys ended up with eleven Sackson next year. We got paid real well.

So you know, there's an example of the people and what have you done when the leading the thoughts processes. All right, let's take our first break here. All the players loves when you come back. Roger Goodell says, an NFL draft is on, so we'll dive into that. Tom

Brady has a Google cap a little bit. Also, it also signs at the Cowboys made that I don't think people were talking about enough, because they will be much needed in my opinion, to this club is going to get better in this a particular area that can covering up the shooting, more the players lost and new expects.

All Right, the FL Draft is going to go on and schedule. Roger

Goodell sent a memo memo out to team. So April twenty three through the twenty fifth is when we will see the draft. So first round is on April twenty third, Rounds two and three the next night. Then they finish off rounds four through seven on the twenty fifth. All Right, Danny mccraig, your thoughts on the NFL, saying, Hey, despite what's going on in the world right now dealing with

COVID nineteen, the show will go on. Okay, So still still still trash right there, Still we were problematic, problematical. I'll pick it up from here. From here, Roger Goodell in the NFL. Right now, we got Danny matt Okay, Fanny pick it up. Yeah, yeah, So hello, can you hear me? We got you? We got you? Yeah. So no,

So I'm saying I think it's very smart. I think he was correcting his uh in a statement and saying that we don't know where we're going to be at in the next few months, and we're even gonna be able to read schedule and have the event like we really want to have it. So it really doesn't make much sense to bet on that. So go ahead and give America and some people uh some things to watch and something to look forward to, and go ahead and

get this thing rolling. So I like the idea. Church Church Pro Day was a big deal for you coming out of not having pro days right now where Scotts have come out there, I'm out there and go see players live. You had the same You were able to be a part of the pro days. They were looking at other players and then band they got to see.

So Church, if you're a player out there right now, then get to the combine combine what would you do in order to try and get your tapers and filling yourself out here to the scot well after you know, being mad and being picked off that I couldn't do

anything like that, I would. I would try to do my own type of thing where I'd have maybe you know, my trainer and maybe you know a couple of players that we were training with, just film or our own prod they just film a forty yard dash, you know, their shuttle, all that stuff, have all the times recorded and all that stuff, and then at the end of it, you know, try harder to send it into these teams, send it into these teams to try to try to

get a look at us. If you know, we weren't one of those premier players that they were taking a look at to begin with, maybe we'll you know, throw the tap in there and maybe don't invite us to camp,

or maybe don't invite us to an obam. It's just really, you know, bad that these you know, these kids that aren't the you know, the high profile picks of the gays that are gonna be slotted in the first round draft, that they're not able to improve their draft rating or even get on the draft board at all without a

pro there. So it just sucks for them. But they what they can do if they can make up their own type of pro day where they can have their trainer and a couple of players that they work with kind of film on trying to film how they you know, do their short shuttle forty yard and send it in. That's the best that they have because you know, if if the ProTeam weren't looking at you to begin with. You know, they're not going to look at you when you know, if there's no pro day out there, they're

gonna have to do some type of tapes. She's just gonna have to take a chance, send it in and hopefully they take a look at it. And that just kind of went to the side. But we'll see, you know, the NFL has you know, they always kind tend to find talent, and so we'll see what happens. M Yeah, this is I think this is uh where agents really

get a chance to make their money, right. They need to lean on those relationships that they have with some of these these scouts and these gems, and they should be able to get a look at some of these tapes. They should be able to get your taping some of these guys faces, especially under the circumstances. So I think having one of those prominent agents or those agents with

a lot of relationships is big under these circumstances. Right now, All right, Tom Brady was taking his talent to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and basically came down between the Chargers and the bus and I had a source tell me that what one and older for Tampa Bay was the coaching. He felt there was a better coaching staff for guys

who could coach him him. Bruce Arians, tom Ward, Clyde, Christians and Byron left to what they had over with the charge you charge and season tickets are being sold at a fast rate back to the Bucking years have raised prices already. What do you guys think about Brady leaving New England after twenty seasons now taking the show to your NFC and the Tampa Bay Bucks. By the way, the Cowboys, you not played Tampa Bay in twenty I

think it was a great move. I mean for Tom, I mean I think at the end of the day, we just kind of realized that, you know, my time in New England was out of his twenty years, there's six Super Bowl wins, you know, nine appearances. I did all I can for New England. Let me try to take my talent down stop and see what I can do down there, and see if I can do it

by myself. Because everybody pretty much kind of linked him and Build Belichick together rightfully, So maybe they've they've been together so long, they've want so much together that everybody kind of linked them together, But I think Brad just kind of wanted to do it on his own. And I think he chose Hampa Bay because, you know, they kept the Chargers have a similar skill set on the officer side of the ball. But Tampa Bay, I mean,

you got two thousand YARBC was on the outside. You got a huge, big time tight end and Howard and you got Cameron Braid out there, who's not a stop either at the tight end. I mean, they got a good offensive lions and their defensive and improvement. So I think he looked at it this thing, you know, they give me the best opportunity to opportunity to win and kind of get to that next level and that too the Bowl once again. So I think that's what made

him decide. Because over there the Charges they don't have a shabby coaching staff. I mean, maybe he has more to do with you know, Bruce Arians and Byn Let's put you know boys, But I just think he looked at it more of the offensive skill setting the team that could take him to the Super Bowl next year. Yeah, And I feel I talked to a lot of guys that used to play for Bruce Arians. They call him bea and they said, he's a he's a player's coach.

They love playing for him. He's one of those guys who, you know, I hate to bring up LSU, but he's like one of those ed, those and run guys Like his players are run through the wall for him. So I think Tom Brady meeting him and getting to being able to talk to him and listen to him, I think Bruce Arians sold him on something that was great, and he, like in Church said he looked at all that talent, and he looked at Jameis Winston thirty for thirty and he automatically assumed he could at least go

fifty for ten. So so I think you just if you're looking at it and he's comparing himself to Jamison, he says, I can do this much better, and I can take this team this much further as a great coaching staff. This guy already won me over. I think it was just all positives for him and a change from from Bill Belichick, who we already knew that they had a little riff growing in their relationship over the last few years. I think it was just tim and

I think Bruce Arians won him over all. Right. Danny State State let me ask you a question finally, all right, all right? In your opinion, do you think Tom Brady was tired of Belichick or do you think it was the other way around, or do you think it was just like a mutual mutual break up In your opinion, I think I think think about twenty in my twenty l twenty years within years with anyone over time time.

I think that guy wanted soon in some concessions. Hey maybe I've earned a little pass here today, and Belichick was a chick gonna change. And I think that that tom also wanted the contract to contracted by That's what Chris Landry work for, to work for Bill Belichick put out on his podcast, and Belichick wanted to be born

to here. So I think that Tommy feel like he was talking like he was shod for twenty for twenty rings and nine and nine and now I runs signed to do the super Bowl game, but a gain deserted a little bit more respect. I just think there's no blame nobla. I think Bill is gonna do things a way he wants, team has way he wants way, and I think it's great for Tom. For Tom, I think this is great for Bill. I think the relationship relates

to Tom Brady. Brady has with Patton Manning also led into Tampa Bay because Bruce arians was with with Peyton Manning. Tom was the Patans and Pats of coaching cat respect. I don't really blame anybody. I think about twenty years, this is what it is. What Bill is not going to change change, you know, it's like Nick, say, Nick not going to change. Certain guy Tom land I remember reading about beating about Roger stab I a tour in when he was making his decision to retire, that he

really wanted to call the player play. Ask Tom Landry, Hey can I call the play to Land? No, Roger. Some of these countries, man, Tad, these coaches are gonna do what they do and they're not going to change. So I don't think there's there's stay blame at all. So how about this going on that Tampa So we all know Tom Brady t V twelve, that's his whole brand, number twelve, number twelve. Chris Godwin, the excellent young white

receiver at Tampa. It's number twelve or twelve, and he recently said in a radio number he entered, Hey I'm born twelve or my whole career. I'm married to this number. This is my number. So if you're Tom Brady, you guys both know because from former Cowboys players and didn't bury you with Adda Jackson. What is a number work? If Tom Brady wants to get the twelve from godwin

from God, what do you think he has? I think I'm I'm coming, Brady, may be, come with all all to give me all that your wife making forty meals. I gotta come with the bread. Now, you gotta give me at least the meal for the number. I know he can afford it. I gotta get it, though, I got Yeah, I'm putting my agent in on these negotiations. Man, this is gonna cost Tom a lot like Chris. Chris God would have made his made his name and that number twelve, just like Tom Brady did, and he'll be

making his name long after Tom Brady has retired. So that twelve is gonna cost Tom some money. Or maybe Tom says, hey, man, this is a new star for me, and uh and I just go ahead and steup to know the number. And I'm just going to be a team player. So what is a nine star? So if Tom comes with twenty five k is that a non starter? For the twelve where where not even close start not even not even close. It starts after half, it starts after half a Neil, I need at least five hundred

on the table to begin talking. Cash really really can give me cash help me. I could be if it was if it was a guy coming in, you know, asking for the number, who didn't you know, make it much more like a came in there talking to guy when they let me get that number twoever or whatever, I could bring the price down. But when you got Brady, who's been making all this money for twenty years, his wife's making forty kicking affords the dropping bread or that

number if he wants to buy a number. So so I half the bidding starts at a half billion dollars more to Okay, So so tell me this. When you guys from the Cowboys, the cow were their numbers bought and traded four eighty four? Uh, I'm trying to not that I know of yeah, not that I know, not that I'm uh no, it wasn't even know that were boughten traded, not that I know. Nah. Okay, all right, So I'm Brady, I'm gonna need that Bible at least

look at snow. Doubt Chris Gott would have plated in a position, but I heard the nat get like, hey man, he's the goat, and you know, I'm just happy to have him here. You know, I wanted him to have twelve. He talked about how he was married through the twelve, and I said, this young man is very smart. He's a young man's putting it into position that it's gonna cost you condom. You and Tom apparently trademarked TV in T and B, so maybe he tried a different number.

I know he won't number ten year Michigan. So I'm gonna be very interested exactly what happened with that number twelve, number twelve. So let's move for number twelfth and number four. Talking about Dak Prescott, Calvin Watkins to the Warning News and several other reporters. Clarence will start telegram and murder as we're saying that the Cowboys re open reopened up negotiation with Dak Prescott. Here we know he's going to

be with the Cowboys in twenty twenty. Fellas, you give me your opinions on what you think could possibly get done. With dak on that franchise exclusive tack. McCree, I'll start her him, start with you. Oh man, they have teams fifteenth, he will be he will have more than Golf and more than Russell, and then my home is a takeover. But I think he gets that bill done before before the deadline and he has a long term deal before the season starts. For me, free agency is all about time, man.

I mean we've seen players come into the free agencies who we know aren't worth the bill that they ended up getting, or worth to either money they ended up getting. But it's all about timing and when you're free. And right now he has franchise tag on him, But if he didn't, he'd be a free agent and he would be, you know, up to be slated at the highest pay guy in the league. And I think he'll end up getting that, you know, I think he'll go back to

the contract negotiations. I believe July fifteet, if I'm not mistaken, is the deadline. If you don't have a long term contract by then, you have to be you have to play under the franchise attack. So I think he'll get it done before July fifteen. I just think it all comes down to gart will be guaranteed money, not just you know what you see going across the ticker at

the bottom of Yes. Then I think it comes down to what you're fully guaranteed, Like when when Kirk Cousins signed his contract, he was fully guaranteed eighty four million um. I believe when the quarterback of the Titan he fully guaranteed sixty two millions. So I think it comes down to the fully guarantees, and I think that will end up, you know, eclipsing you know, Russell Wilson, and then like mcraize said, I think my homes will come in and

take it over from there. But it's all about timing and this is his time and he needs to be the highest pay. He's gone there improved that he's won it each you know, each year he's improved. So I think it's about tipping them making the highest stay guy Church Church and New he tells, tell me this dollars million dollars. I'm sorry, I couldn't hear the last part. I said. Kirk Cuttins recently got myself at two dollars two years, sixty million dollarllion dollars extension so he didn't

getting paid here, I have a Kurts find. I mean the reson is light, but the law law I ain't mad, good old, good old country curt Man, you know what I mean. He went from three straight franchises at the eighty four mile and did not get extended. I mean that dude. He did it right, man, he did it right, which is why I last hood cowboys with me were mad Dad. You know he stopping. But here's my thing, my thing on where did this contract on? He's going

to going to go? And you guys have a you all understand the agent can because game Pop were dealing with dealing with the cowboys sat up there at the party at Oxtar, California, and I was there and I said, we're not going to set the market at the market. We want that we here we walked into the lesson. We can pay everybody that we're not going to set the market at the What happened with Zekiel They set the market made in the high state. Body. But Mark,

you set the market at the market. What did you do and you had Travis French? You set the market first? What did you with Travis? You rentric at the dark You set the market at the market. What did you do with take horse? If it fits it in, you set the market. So how in the world do you think you can set the market all these spots to say, hey Dad, ain't no no, no market for you. You know, Todd Francs coming in. If Todd Francs agent does not set the market, he will get rolled by other They've

been setting the market since Tony Romo. True, you got Romo t Smith set the market the market. Yeah, They've been setting the market since since I've been a cowboy. So I mean there's no reason to believe that when they said the market will be set. So I think you're on point Church. He's he's gonna fast Russell Church or Rogers. Yeah, I think he'll pass Russell Um. You know. I also think it comes down to how much the

cowboys believe in it. I mean, like we've seen when Romo was up, he became the highest pay you know, the markets. Lawrence became the highest pay Like he just rattled off all the names that became the highest pay when it was their time they show up. So I think it just all comes down then how much the boys believe that he can be that franchise quarterback for the future. I believe he can be. Every year he's come in here, he's won, so I believe he could

be that guy. But it just goes down to how much the Cowboys are willing to spend and have that franchise quarterback. And I think they'll make him the highest. I mean, if the smart move and it's just his time right now. Well, I'm a little sad. I'm a little sad that I won't be able to see. Huh, I said, I'm a little sad that I won't be able to see if that was going to show up to these old tags or not with this franchise tag

that has changed due to the coronavirus. But I was I was very interested to see if he was gonna show up and be the team player or he was gonna not show up and tell him pay me my money before I walk on this field. I don't know. Do you think he has that? Do you think he had that mentality where he's like, you know what, if don't give me this money, I'm not showing up, no money, no service. Do you think he asked that pay of mentality? Yes, money changes us all true? Well, Well, I mean go

back and just spok. I mean, why why wouldn't one? And you've got ahead COVID who wants to put in one system? That's what you know, because this is now about applying Creussure from pressure. And so if you've got you know, you got Cooper rush taken and look take once, you know, you think that's what Jerry Jones WANs to look out there and see, and Mike McCarthy wants to look rush taken once. The staffing, the ones no, So this is one purely where where he'll go back to

Jerry mc guire's not show Friends and show business. A Bob shoot was stopping. So I fully think that if we've team anything, Dak Prescott and his ex time friends have more than willing to sit around here and say let's bet on ourselves. So yeah, I don't think that that he you know, I think that he wouldn't set those old teams if you know, we didn't deal with COVID nineteen right now, and that's that's what you have to do, all right. We've got our last break to

take here. Want to get back into a couple of three inches signs and I think are really importantly they're flying under the brain are You may not know their names and what they can do, but I really thought these guys were really important when the Cowboys were doing. And also, since we've got this time in the whole baby, what are you reading? Let's talking about a book that's fascinating that I just jumped into.

so nice to treat you. And even though it feels weird to talk to we can you pick one up and say, it's so nice to be traded, Doctor Pepper, so nice to treat you to the players Loud all right, All players Loud Layer on a Friday on the States, joined by Form Downward, Danny mccraiz, very change, very weird, live lives on first time here. Thanks to everybody, everybody, and they're working on better, better for you. But we

really knew that you you he was. He was free instance that I really like the cowboys that are going under the r under the radar. I love the fact that they brought and they brought in Marcus Market candidate. Here's the kid who who was the corn the corn. But he's a big big battle team Blake, Blake, better bring him over. Ringing can't the blocking example of battle teams?

Guy Berry on it. I started off he was the cowgoys making that was mainly with you get from the cowboys like guys got and just get you back because cowboys la risk coms, categories, categories, they take got that twenty twenty. Yeah, they got to improve on that, you know, they gotta got to be one of the biggest improvements they got to make. I mean, there's no way, um, their special teams should be should be costing you a game.

And if we look at it that New England game up in New England, it kind of actually cost him the game and they had a black punt and that was the only touchdown result of the game. So your special teams should never cost you a game. So I definitely think this is one of the areas that they need to make improvements on. Uh, they had TJ Goodwin out there, who was on the show early on, but he was one of the top special teams guys, So I like, just bring it back like they did. They

they did, They brought him back. They brought it back. Okay cool, ye okay great. So they tried him back and then you got you have Blake Bell like you said, and I forget the other name you said, but those guys are all kind of that team nourris candidate. Those are three core special teams guys that you gotta had that can get those other guys, you know, get the special teams guys going get to motivated. Like for us, it was Danny and he was out there, you know,

motivating all the guys to get rolling. And we had one of the top secial teams unit at while we were there with the doll count. But you gotta have that one bell count, that one figurehead other special teams that get everything rolling. Hopefully one of these guys could beat that guy and it could turn the special team unit around because the last year it was downright terrible. And they need a new philosophy and a new type

of scheme to get going on special teams. And I think they have that with the new coach and bringing in these core special teams guys. Yeah. I love the move. We've been calling for this for a couple of years now for them to bring guys in similar to the Patriots. You know three or four guys that come in and they are just known for doing special teams. When they are practice, all they have to think about the special

teams and the same in the game. And they have three now, So they got they have a tight end. They got candidate, and they have a good one and then hopefully in the draft or with one of these free agent rookies, they'll find the fourth and I think they'll be set the goal. I think this is a

great move. They're going in the right direction. And you know me as a supposed to be player, I'm excited for the guys that they brought in a play special teams dar Area and the dying another guy, another guy who went the spot one of them sucking teams tacklers last years, the Cowboys leaving me that category coming back as well, bringing it but bringing it own spot at the special teams code. You play, se replay Queen Quinn, you've got you got your guy here. I don't care.

Bring it the guys bringing the guy like Gards one of the guards, one of the best special cucial game coaches.

Don't give it to get to play and play. Give it the guys who we ever wanted to be out there any good at least slightly like a lot and they're trying what they're trying to do, and so while looking me for looking to create the thing, and they're looking at the big Thames to the Cowboys sometimes sometimes a lot of guysctively just hilarious different areas because it pulled your football from Cowboys and Cowboys your team about believe.

I believe that the one to one and you get to you this year that it's been afit better time one time because they were going in and going again to get when they were they were gonna be going three things every single every single week. Yes on some one on bonehead mistakes like I can't get over this table on Austin fair catch thing that was absolutely nuts and and that's just something that we just got we just got to get out of our head and I

just can't. It's just it's just bad. And like Barry brought up earlier, the block pump for for New England, it's like these these things can't happen, and you can't go in limping in on special teams. It's supposed to be the game changer in a positive way. If you don't mention special teams, you're good. If you mention them, you only want to mention them in a good way.

When you mentioned in a bad way, it's horrible for the coaches, the players, and most of the time you lose the game when you make one of those crucial errors on special teams. Well, I think we y'all think we all agree, and I know that I knew they would wait for Ryde, which you're and they and they ask them some early early WHI but the take on came on office now it was not good at all, but you know that that that's the way it goes.

Exactly where they end up in some fixing. Priticular return of the area there to go was not what they're working there, all right, So since we're having to stay inside a whole lot here, as you just said to behind me, I got a bunk. I'm a big I'm a big reader. Here here's the book I got in that I got in here I called album things by Paper on Muhammad on Muhammad Alike biography and and I'll say this, I'll say this or a fan of Alia this book of his book. I'm a big fan, big

than to be dying. I died biography when you just really go, really go vallew a social lifestone. I read that really want to like I'm rolling laid Money and the Lives of will Relate Co wrote with Kobe Bryant, I tell you I got your You've got time right now, Si safel fat, I have to take you take your definitely have the e the grad have that book on. But for me, I'm huge into side far reading. You know, I don't know why I just gotta love Side far reading as well as Stephen King books. But I'm a

book I'm all right now. It's called The expanse Um. It's like a I think it's an eighth book series and it's about you know, they basically the Earth and making our colonies on the moon and all Jupiter's moons and battling for the stars and got like gal like too. So if you like stuff like that, the experience and the huge franchise you need to get into. It's also

a show on Amazon Prime now. But if you like reading instead, that's it's huge you that you need to copy or to get going if you're if you're a sci fi reader like myself, So the expanse and then check it out to get a chance. Yeah, and I'm not gonna love to y'all. I'm I'm a big TV watcher, so all the stuff that y'all read, I'll just go ahead. I'll just watch it, right, So zero zero zero on Amazon Amazing, and then of course season three of Ozarks back out, so that's taking all my reading time. But

NEWI I love a LEI. I've watched every documentary that they had, so that might be one of the books that I pick up and go check out. I tell you what it is. It is and unlike him like this, dis than any of the doctor either. That's why I read that I recommended here. It goes back to the name, the name of Clay. His riginal name is Cassius Clay. They go back to how they were descended, that there were slaves and descendants of Henry Clay, who was a big,

big time politician out of Kentucky. So um, it's it's really really good and just dives into a relationship with his father that I did not know about here, and how his father was abusive, how the police had come over there when they were being raised, his boys, he and his brother, and how the relationship that he had with his mom. And he was really fascinating to learn some of these things about the atmosphere and the home

life that that Ali came from. So I cannot recommend this book enough because he just I've just learned him so many more things that I just didn't know about the young man and us back. That's why they're long. I tell people they're long. And if you could do twenty I say, do twenty five pages a day or a chapter and you're gonna find out in the whole month,

you're gonna knock out a book. But when people look at these big books like this, it's it's five hundred pages and he's like, man, I can't I can't possibly read it. Well, you don't have to read it all in one setting, but that's what you do. And when it's that book, that book is that big um that great play that Lynn Manuel Marana uh the Lennon Manuel Miranda did um Hamilton he read. He read the big thick biography of Alexander Hamilton. If that's where he got

the inspiration from the play. So I'm just telling you if you invest in something like this and a little bit of time over a month, man, you're gonna find yourself smarter. But also you're just gonna find how much you really know about someone. And you just say, man, I mean as great as Ali was. I mean, one of the things I found out early on when he was training, he was really the first person to take a T took a white T shirt and in read letters he put Ali on the front. He kind of

started self promotion for boxing. You know, he was the first guy to do that. Yeah, Yeah, And how I did not know that he was dex lexing. They talked about that how he had so many problems in school and that he technically was about to not get his high school diploma, that he spent most of his junior senior years missing class at high school and rule Kentucky. And when it came time down of graduation, there were teachers who did not want to pass him, like he

does not deserve to pass. His grades aren't any good, he hadn't been here. And the principal came in there and said, no, we think Cassius Clay could end up being a very famous boxer, so we're going to get him a degree because it's going to make the school look good. So he overruled his teachers and Cassius Clay getting his high school diploma. And it was a certificate of attendance, so it was the lowest one you could get.

But they barely passed the guy. But the principle was right because a year and a half later, the guy goes to Rome and ends up winning a go all metals. So you graduating fifty nine in the nineteen sixty becomes the Olympic champion. So so they were right. About that

in terms. The principal was he was smart. But it's stuff like that and reading the book that I was sitting here like, man, okay, this is pretty cool as we look at really one of the great one of the great heavyweight champions of all time, a great, great sportsman. I mean you just think about, you know, personalities, and then how you line up Jack Johnson and Muhammad Ali and how much he related to Jack Johnson, a former heavyweight,

first ever black heavyweight champion who's from Easton. So it's a good book, man. I can't recommend it enough. And I'm I mean, I'm really about a quarter page through. I read one one chapter about him in the bicycle how he got started boxing. Of my daughter, she was really into it. So now she's this big Muhammad Alif fan. I know. You guys got you know, I know, Beary, you've got young kids. But you get to a point

in time, I mean, that's what you do, man. You start just kind of reading things like this to them so you can kind of tell them about history so they can have a better understanding of, you know, what's going on around it. But my kids, my eight year was a big Ali fan. That's pretty cool right there. Now,

that's pretty cool. One quick question, know, so if the NFL does end up having the draft coming up, like they I think the twenty third or twenty fifth or something like that, how do you think they do that? Do you think they do it where it's just kind of like over TV A, you know how like they do the round four though six of a just stay a name and they don't really have anybody come walking on the stage or anything like that. How do you

think they're gonna do that? Well, the device challenge, guys, you can get but you know what, somehow I'm up here doing this, So they're gonna Yeah, so the age, the smart agents are gonna find a way to make sure that their guys are you know, doing doing what we're doing here on a device somewhere where people can talk to them. And Plus, man, these young guys, these these young kids in college. Man, they're already doing this FaceTime stuff already. So I think we're gonna see a

lot of stuff like that. You're gonna see a lot of remote cameras in places. One of the things that I'm doing over the Channel five here is it can take we got it now where we can just have somebody walk outside. They don't have to touch anything at all. We just set up the camera. They can be six feet away and we could do interviews like that. So

I've been doing that this week with several folks. So there's gonna be ways that the NFL can make some adjustments that they can still have on the war rooms, that they could have gems and head coaches interview and players as well. And he has to be an NFL network. There's some recent ways that they could get created and still have a makeshift draft and guess what, it's National Football League. So they're gonna get an audience no matter what.

It may not be what we've seen in the past and dialed up, but you know what, right now, the ways to Sports World is going. We're gonna watch because there ain't nothing else to watch. Hey, did we sign Anthony Brown? Say again, mc craig, again, did we signed Anthony Brown? I believe I saw that on Twitter this morning, right before we got on the show. I can't check it now, but I believe I saw that we signed him to like a three year, fifteen million dollars deal

something like that. Anthony Brown. Yeah, abe at cornerback. Yeah it fifteen. Yeah, so we got we got one of the corner positions taking care of our see. Yeah yeah, they got look at seventeen to found the Cowboys. Right now, right now, they don't make any other movie. I'm taking a corner at the corner, Mike Nolan if he has one good If no one has one good cornerback, he can work with the other. I talked to someone who used to work with him and coach with him, and

he told me that that's he said. They just need to make sure they get one solid guy. And his first also told me he thought that Cheeto Whosi it probably would be better used as a safety more so than a corner. So interested to see how that goes. I don't through this Byron Jones experiment again, man, I'm just saying, this is what this person told me. Well, right now, they're gonna leave in the corner because they

ain't got no that's what they're gonna do. So but it was just something that somebody had had had run past me. But obviously Cheeto and Jordan Bell are going to be up after the season, so I expect the Cowboys to be heavily into the defensive back market between corners and safeties in this drast I just think this is gonna be a defensive draft all day long. And if they go offense, the only thing you're probably gonna

go for is a a a swing tackle here. But I really expect to see a lot of defense from the Cowboys when the drafting starts April twenty third. To the tourrent bit, we had Randy to agree with you did? We had Randy Gregory as a as another pass rusher.

He's reinstated. If reinstated, I expect him on this team and he can provide some debt and with the way things have gone, with the way things have gone around here, when you're trying to replace Quinn, you know, if you patch it together with you know, Tylan Crawford coming back healthy and Randy Gregory there and maybe what else you get in the draft, you know, you piece meal together.

You know you can do it that way. Look, it's I just think overall this team is going to have a better are coaching staff started for the head coach on down and I just believe that if if they are what we think they are, they not knowing has been in the past and what Mike McCarthy has been in the past the Cowboys, they'll be fine if they improved the special team. If there's a lot of ways that this team lost some games here, I believe it was straight upon coach. I thought Garrett got out coached

a lot during his ten years with the Cowboys. So I just believe having Mike McCarthy and if these guys could get enough time together, they should they should be an improved team. They should be an improved team, and they should be able to win two more games than they won last year. I agree with I think from what you said the coach at that this year, I feel like it's a lot stronger than it was last year.

And if you look back, I mean, look at that Minnesota game where I mean some of the playing call in tours the end of that game to the car, I mean, we talk the New England game with Cecil teams. So I think we'll get at least one or two more victories just on coaching alone, and hopefully that will be enough to get it to the playoff this year. But we'll see. Yeah, I think it would be fine. I think Jerry's expecting more than one or two more wins, but he'll be happy as long as run the playoffs.

Hey look, if you can't, you know, you see where you're in here will take it to the Obviously, it's about trying to win the division with the Giants Avenue head coach. Washington's got a new head coach. Philadelphia has got to maybe a little bit of advantage since they they're gonna return, you know their coaching staff and guys know what they're gonna do. But I just think that the Cowboys, they still have a lot of good players here that you still have a window gets opened right now.

And if Dak Prescott gets better coaching, which I think Mike McCarthy heck of a better head coach than Jason Garret, I think we'll see see dat Prescott be a better player, and I think it's sell Elliot will be a new schol So I think we're making a bigger deal out of who's not here, but people should really be a little bit more impressed and how good of a head

coach Mike McCarthy is. I know everybody loves Sean Payton because they obviously know Sean pat from his time with the Cowboys here, but Mike McCarthy is just as good as Sean Payton is in terms of winning percentage, having a Super Bowl. Uh, it's damn good coach. I something people talking about enough because I know I just think that, you know, some way, Sean's been more affable in the media, but McCarthy's McCarthy's touching good man that they got them

Sally good coaching. All right, it's it's it's an hour, it's flown by already. It's good to have a players lash together here here now that we know how to do this will improve on working from home a little bit. And maybe since we're getting closer, goes to the draft and then we can do more than just one show on a Friday, So maybe we mix in a couple of shows during the week here because I like this. I like sitting in my house just doing this from here.
