Three, the fan time for a seasonal tradition here in the G-Bag Nation, keep Merle Yellerim, started over a decade ago. We'd asked the question of the conclusion of a pro sports season, should we keep these players? Or should we take them out to the back 40 and say goodbye to them? And it's time once again to reignite that tradition, do you understand that some of you listeners out there were very sensitive to the sound of a canine, the drama reenactment of a dramatic reenactment of a canine passing? So we have decided to dispose of that, you know? We don't want any sensitive ears being offended. For the people that don't remember, should we play the sound form one time? Just remind them or is that probably two? I don't think so. - I wouldn't do that. - Sounds good. - Yeah, you were somewhere not in the building when that was going on, that discussion happened. I wouldn't do that. - Gotcha. So from this day forward, keep 'em or send 'em up to the spirit of the sky. That's where I'm gonna go when I die. - Mm, yeah. - Norman Greenbaum? - Yes, sir. - Spirit of the sky. - Or should it be keep 'em or send 'em to a no kill shelter? You know, some of those folks out there doing those no kill shelters, doing some great work. Those are your real dog lovers out there. - Yep. - They might have 400 of the things on the premises. - Absolutely. - Not only do they gotta not kill 'em and keep 'em, they gotta keep those dogs from fighting each other. That's a lot of work, you know? Not easy. Shinsu Chu retired today after his final season in the Korean Pro League, 42 years old. Former Ranger had a great run himself. He was hurt a lot with the Rangers, but when he was right, he could get it going. - Yeah, when he was on, it was fun to watch. What else do we have going on? We have the Mets and Braves still score this. Is this after two or heading to the bottom of the two? - Bottom of the two. - Okay, so the Braves need to win this game and they did not start Chris Sale with Backspass. - Backspassums, right, yeah. - Those are either some rather unfortunately timed spasms as they need to win this game to get into the playoffs or maybe it's just a sign they got a wink-wink deal with the Mets. Now, this would be your hated rival. Whichever sports team you hate the most, could you imagine doing this? I think I could. I wanna make the playoffs more than I hate any team in my division, you know? So maybe we can't have a massive get together. It would turn into a fist fight. But there's a representative from one team that could go to the other with this kind of messaging. - Then the Chargers and the Raiders have a game recently here with all they had to do was tie and they had a chance to tie and they were going to do it until there was a timeout that was called into the game. - The Raiders I think kicked the game winning field goal didn't they? - Yeah, it was a typical Brandon Staley mess up situation. - Yeah, I honestly can't remember who came out on the right side of it, but if they just had tied then they both go to the playoffs. - Oh wait, was that the win that the Chargers went to the playoffs and got beat by Jacksonville? - I think that's actually what hated rivals there in the AFC West. You know, none of those teams like each other and they might actually do something that's against their better interests. - I think Staley had a chance to tie it and he didn't do it. - We have three bullpen options here and keep them our old yellow to look at. Well, you know, three veteran ones there's actually a fourth, it's kind of a World Series legend. Andrew Chafen, you have of course David Robertson and Kirby Yates at, what are we looking at? For Chafen's 34 years old, he has a club option at six and a half million for the 20, 25 season. Robertson 39, Yates 37, and then Jose Leclerc who's somehow already 30 years old is on this list as well, which surprised me. - All those guys are free, right? With the exception of Chafen? - Yeah, often you get the option. - And then everybody else is a free agent. You want to bring any of those guys back? I would like to bring back at least Robertson and Yates. I just don't know that we have the payroll to pull something off that, like that, we'll check. - Yeah, I'm all in on Yates for sure. I think you got to try and bring him back. I'd like David Robertson, I mean, at 40 years old, I don't think for seven million you're picking that up. Maybe you go ahead and try and work a deal if he wants to come back for a little bit less, but I mean, the big question to me is Leclerc. Like, he's your World Series hero. You made a great run in the postseason. What he was able to do, but I don't know. Like, was that just kind of a flash in the pan for Jose Leclerc? - Let's move on. - You're moving on? - Moving on from that. - I mean, you're talking about like some real cycle on. - Yeah, it's very chilling. - I can say, you know, no, I feel like that you could probably get something better there. Man, he probably got guys that you're thinking about that were starters, that you want to move into those spots and stuff like that. Like, it's just too up and down for me on that guy. - I mean, things have to fall into place for you so well to win that World Series with the adventures that Leclerc and Chapman took us on and the runners they got on. And those are the things that a good GM thinks about. The good GM doesn't think, well, this guy's special. He won a World Series. He's got the makeup of a champion. No, some guys do. Like, it appeared that Montgomery probably did. - Yeah. - It's obvious of all he does. It's obvious Seger does, but, you know, guys that are falling flat on their face after winning you a championship, I think you have to be more leaning towards let's move on from the role players and hang on to the guys that are, you know, proven clutch gene dudes. And it's clear who those guys are on your team. - Yeah, and it's a much more difficult decision in the off season right after winning the championship, I think. Now that you've had a year to kind of sober up from, I mean, Broadway is still blowing a .03 or so, at least. - Did we ever sober up? - But I think you're able to be a little bit more logical and rational about some of these things. - Yeah. - Nathan Evaldi at 34 years old, that's the litmus test for the entire off season in the Rangers plans, right? - They gotta. I think that's a move that you have to make. I mean, I think Yates in Evaldi. Those are the two guys for sure. I'm trying to bring back in Evo. Yeah, we'll see. I mean, he's gonna have an option. I wonder about the Houston Astros. I mean, he's a kid from Alvin, Texas. Then the Astros come over and say we'll offer, we'll go ahead and out for more than what the Rangers are willing to go through. And then he's gonna have to make that decision. Do I, am I in this for 5 million more? Is it 25 million with Houston, 20 million with the Rangers, whatever it is? But I think the leadership, I mean, that's every time we did a player show with a pitcher, it was Nathan Evaldi and how he's taking guys under his wing and the calmness and the leadership and the veteran mentality. And every big games, I mean, you know he's showing up. I think Evaldi is a must have back. I mean, you could go ahead. No, you could make a case that you don't need him on paper. Yes, you can. With the amount of guys that you have, with the quality that you have. But we're talking about intangibles and paper. Great game. Big game stuff, dude. And I think if Evaldi's back, that means he's been sold by CY and this team that they're really trying to win. He above anybody is a dude, especially at this point in his career. He wants to be somewhere he's gonna win. So if he inks the deal back with the Rangers, I think that means, hey, that's a good sign that other things are going to be coming here as the offseason progresses. And then even into the trade deadline for next season as a team that's going to be trying to win. And as Wollchuck mentioned, I mean, there's nobody has an entire clubhouse under their wing when you lift it up. But when you lift up of all these wing, the entire clubhouse is under it. That's a great point, not just the pitchers. Yeah, but you got DeGrom, you got Bradford. You can't have enough arms. I think that's improving over the last two years. I mean, look at the Astros this season. Wider, Rocker, Mally, Atlanta. Yeah, I mean, I agree, you have to have arms, but you also have to, also if we're in this, one of these deals where you're paying a guy, we lose the opportunity to sign somebody else or have somebody else. You've already got pitchers, you've already got starting pitching in DeGrom. I mean, he came back and showed you that he's your number one guy. Where does Evaldi fit his? He number two? Yeah. Yeah, I would say. He loves Bradford, we just had you. Bradford as your three is pretty dang impressive for him. I don't think I'm a rocker being my three. I feel you on that, but they are loaded. They are loaded. I just think that I don't think you can afford him. That's me. Well, then I would love to see you too. What, where does, where do those dollars get allocated? You know, where's the pivot there? With the Evaldi money, what are you, what are you bringing? Yeah, don't, don't give me a Carl Lawson and a couple of other job or defensive tackles instead of Derek Henry. Don't give me Lynn Voljosef. Thank you. Okay, Andrew Heaney is 33 years old. That's where we get below the line clearly to me. As much as I love hean dog and the great line that he gave to Corey Sigur to drop at the championship parade and his wonderful work on the Rangers player show with us from time to time, Andrew Heaney's probably gotta go. Okay, you are looking at a mutual option though, seven mil for the 2025 season. That's not, that's not too bad of allocation, but I think every mill is, it's pretty important here. Speaking of pitchers on the underside of that line is the 40 year old Mack Schurzer, very appropriate tie in here. He's got the sheep dog eyes. Yeah, he does. He's got two different color eyes. That's a thank you for everything, Matt, Max, but you can go be somebody else's headache and is he gonna pitch today? I just call him a headache. Yeah, at this stage in his career, I think he is. Won't even let you play the music that you want in the, in the weight room. Sorry, I used to be good like five years ago. The reliability is 40 years old from Mack Schurzer, it's just not there anymore. He's a Hall of Famer, one of the best ever do it, but I mean, I'm, I'm nervous. Like, is he making the start every fifth day? I have no idea. It would have to be incentive, Layton, like so much per start is what we're going to pay you here. Jose Urania, 33 years old. Will Chuck brought us? I'll tell you what, man. Let me let the record didn't appear, but that guy did more for you this year than I mean, when you started telling, when there was like spots, starts, long relief, take up innings, game out of hand, he pitches for like five innings. I'd find a way to kind of keep, keep him around and work. I know he's a veteran guy, but man, he showed a lot of toughness taking the ball for you last year, or this past year. You'd be a piece in the bullpen. More toughness in some of these tollos. I'll tell you what, emailing our boss about offensive, make belief stuff, but that's neither here nor there. How many emails were received? Is this one bad apple? Is this a full tree of apples? When management walks in and says, don't do it, and you don't do it, you just don't. I don't know. I'm not advocating to do it. I'm just trying to show you how many times you do. Management walks in and says, hey, listen, don't do it. You don't do it. You know, you end up like me, you get fired. I was about to say, how many times did you push back on Parcels? Oh, that's what I'm saying. I'm just trying to give everybody, you young guys a little bit of understanding. I appreciate it. Speaking of young guys, the 33-year-old outfield utility player, World Series and ALCS hero Travis Jankowski. Come on back, buddy. Bring him back. El Blondie, we love it. He said he wants to retire. El Blondie. El Blondie. Lifetime deal for this guy, Jacob. Let's go. What are you doing over there? You want the lifetime deal for Jacob? What are you doing over there? He's the best player we have on the Player Show. The best personality. Hey, can we spend a little pinch hitter in base? I don't want to go to surprise if he's not going to be in that clubhouse. Can we pay him in our gift cards that we get? It's not going to be a lot. Bro, you're paying him $1.7 million in gift cards right now. That's OK. It's OK to get our pluckers gift cards. Hey, for coming back, we'll give you a couple of pluckers. I'll throw in to keep Janko. I'll tell you that much. OK, well, yeah. Who's the one guy that you're going to be like, hey, Brandon Hurtado, let's do the same Jordan Montgomery situation where it's like Lifetime barbecue? Oh, that'd be the only though. Would that be the one for you? Yeah. Lifetime barbecue. I guess shots fired it all blondie. You heard it here first. You don't need to. Yeah, we'll figure out how to get it all blondie here. He's come out right now. You don't have to worry about that. He said he wants to retire as a ranger. Yeah, he loves it down here. Don't worry about that thing. Top 10 at 4.20 is coming up close up to protest. Then he's going to retire this off seas. I can't believe you weren't supporting him more. Oh, I saw you trying to cheerlead over there. Oh, and you're looking around. What was wrong with cheerleading Janko? Nobody was going-- Nobody was going like this. You felt like, whoa, nobody's going with me on this one. Don't let him watch on you. Of course, Mulchuck did. I did. You know, Mulchuck will go with you on anything. Donny, you know me. You were going, oh, blondie, and you're looking around, and nobody was going with you. And you're like, oh, what did I just do? And then all of a sudden, Mulchuck's like, oh, oh, blondie. I'm supporting this guy. I don't know why I caught a strain here. What the hell? I think you're just-- I looked over at you, Dawson. And you were alone on that island. I knew Mulchuck would have my back. Not even very slow to-- Shut up over there, Brian. That's because they're pretty much back. Very slow to the trigger. Brian, you're cutting into my segment, all right? Michael, oh, yeah, it's a top 10 day, Ali. Brian, I got to go two for one here. I know we got sideways earlier when you're keeping it being a decorator. But this one's next level. I didn't have broadest sighting with the zenial, overly offended sensitive people in my bingo card. Did they all tell you that much? Me neither. I'll offend it. You're not even a dog owner over there, and you're feeling bad. Brodice, you're going down the hall to the boss's office and the break, and you're going to ask for more things that we're not allowed to do and say. You know what? I'll do anything to help you keep your gig. Because I lost mine along the way, you know? Just looking out for you, young guys. You guys have all these, you know, Trajan wealth and those people. You need to like sign up for that stuff. We're about to talk Trajan wealth here. I love Trajan actually. You've got to go apologize to Spittle for me wanting to play that dog sound effect. I'm sure top 10 is coming up. We'll talk right now, where you're taking this. Stuff, buddy. Yeah, I'll try and make sense of NFL news. We also had National Coffee Day yesterday.

Isn't it a little bit? - I can't smell it. - Can't detect it. Maybe I got COVID, or Wolfchuck with your top 10. Thank you very much. - I might have COVID. I took the shot yesterday. - Oh, that might be it. Maybe that's what you're smelling. - The double shot. - You're sniffing the fireball? - I wish it was fireball. The double shot COVID and a flu shot. Oh, my right arm is on fire. Oh, the left arm is on fire. - Gosh. - If you hit me right now, I would quump it. - All right, well, we'll do that during the break. 8, 7, 7, 8, 8, 1, 1, 5, 3. - Yeah, it's good, no. - Bet pay off. - Where this show's going, Brian. - What is your favorite morning beverage? - I would have allowed the COVID shot to be as a Bet pay off if you would have actually teed that up, but you did that on your own accord. - Just to see him get a shot for like, cried. - Eric, I did it for myself. - They give you a lollipop, a little stinger? - That's for myself. - No. - Did the injector of the shot make any comments about your eyebrowless face? - No, but there's a lot of people that like when we were giving out flags. - They know. - They walked her to go, "Hey, really? You shaved your eyebrows?" I pulled down the lights. - Can't even tell. - Yeah. - Looks good, man. - But I can feel it coming back. - It looks good. - Yeah, thanks. - I don't know that I've ever heard a quarterback new here. - I might paint some on. - His head coach, quite like Aaron Rodgers did yesterday. So they had five full start penalties, and Robert Solon takes to the podium afterwards, and he's like, "Man, we gotta figure it out. I don't know if we're not good enough. Maybe we can't handle all the cadence." So then Rodgers goes to the podium. He's asked about it. Here's what Aaron said. - The cadence specifically, Robert said that might be something you guys have to dial back a little bit. Is that something you think could potentially help the situation? - It's one way to do it. The other way is hold them accountable. I mean, we haven't had an issue. We've had one fall start, and we're gonna have one fall start, I believe, until this. So, you know, it's been a weapon. We use it every day in practice. We don't, you know, we rarely have a fall start, and to have, I don't know, five today. It seemed like four or five. Yeah, that seems like an outlier. I don't know if we need to make mass changes based on, you know, kind of an outlier again. - Aaron Rodgers saying, "Go bleep yourself. I'm gonna do what I wanna do." - The gift that keeps giving. - And I like this. How many times have we seen Aaron Rodgers in his career? Get a guy to jump off sides. - Every three. - Every three players a touchdown or a huge play down the field. Every, so I understand for him, it's a weapon. And now today, Robert Salabak tracked, and he said, "I don't actually, I don't know if reigning in the cadence is something we should be doing. I think we're gonna stick with it." Who is wearing the pants in that relationship? It's Aaron Rodgers. - Of course he is. - Yeah, I think Robert Sala, you know, realized who he's dealing with. It's a certified coach killer, and he's got a good point too, you know? So, I would say the end is near, though, for Robert Sala. Oh, I was gonna ask you this. Quarterback washed. - Quarterback is washed. I'm late to this party. - Yeah. - Well, I mean, listen, he's certainly not the same, but he's got no running game to speak of, and he's got Nathaniel Hackett as his play caller. That's not helping things. And anybody who puts the chance you would want expects to be as good as they were, or better than they were before, is lying to themselves. You put that uniform on, and you take a giant step backwards, if not multiple. That's just the nature of that jury. - He just can't have nice things. It's kind of like the Bears and whoever's their quarterback too. I don't know what it is, but you put the Bears jersey on your back. - And, you know, a lot of this is age related, you know, he's 10 years older, but his drop off from torn Achilles to I'm back was worse than Dak's catastrophic lower-ling injury to back, as far as how much it impacted the mobility and athleticism. - Yeah, Rogers was always a player that used that quickness. Man, he was quick to buy himself just a little bit more time. - Yeah, it looks rough watching him. I was also rough seeing what happened to Richland's own and SMU's Rishi Rice yesterday got taken out by Patrick Mahomes, and now he's got an ACL injury probably out for the season. - I've never seen that before, dude. - I haven't either. I mean, it was a very unfortunate play, and you could tell immediately like, oh God, something bad happened here. - Oh, it was awful. It was awful. I mean, it was just the perfect storm, if you will, with the way Mahomes is rolling up into the knee like that, never seen it. Mahomes continues to make history, doing things on the football field that we've never seen before. It's gut-wrenching. If you're a Chiefs fan, if you're a Rishi Rice, fantasy owner, all of it, dude, what are just a disaster of a play from top to bottom? - Terrible. It almost makes you feel like, dude, hey, just don't run. Don't worry about making the tackle. Like you threw the interception, quarterback, get out of the way and star-wide receiver, just go to the sideline, dude. - Let somebody else try and make a play there, but you're just getting your asking for trouble. - All right, let's slide into the top, 10 a lot more football to get to. We'll do that a little bit later, but yesterday, national coffee day, big day. I think the majority of us, big coffee fans, on this show, 877-88-11053. What is your favorite morning beverage? Had some people texting in about the morning beers. I mean, we had some Adele love on here. - Breakfast beer? - Nothing wrong with a little breakfast beer, or a shower morning, shower beer. - They say you're supposed to hide your hydrate in the mornings when you wake up. - You do, that's a fact. - You do. - Lucius, you drink some water. - I drink, yeah, water. First thing of the morning, when I first get up, man. - That's the whole lot of it. - Yeah. - I like to feel it swash around in my belly. - Gush, gush, gush, gush. - And then 10 minutes later, it's gonna do a thing. - When's the coffee getting incorporated? - By the time I get here, - Okay. - First coffee of the day was two in the afternoon. - And it's just water before then? - Yeah, all water. - Sometimes, I eat a mango or something like that on the porch while I'm out there chillin'. - That's weed. - That's weed. - You know what I mean? - Sounds wonderful. - Absolutely, man. - Pointing the two in four texts and say, "Have coffee." All right, not everybody likes their coffee. I get that, Ryan, I know you have never had coffee in your life. - Never had a cup in my life. - But he doesn't like water either. I'm actually curious what he does drink at the morning. - What do you do? - Apple juice, prune juice, perhaps? - Cranberry. - Cranberry juice. - Yeah. - Love cranberry juice. - That's an old person thing. - That's great, though. - Well, it helps with all of the UTIs. - Crushed ice keeps you from gettin', you know, urinary tract infection problems too. - We don't have to cray an apple. - Yeah, it gets good, cray and raspberry. - That's what I am. - Whenever you're half cray and you're in a good place. - I mean, I never go full cray and it's just too bitter. - I would say, never go full cray. - You know, I need some water and I need some caffeine one way or another. If I had to pick one, though, I would probably say diet coke. - Yeah. - You go in there and pull it out of a fridge. You still got like that weird cotton mouth thing early in the morning and just the way the cold and the bubbles and everything it is. - What time is this? - As soon as I wake up, first thing in the morning. - Really? - Yeah, cracking on. - Right out of the blocks. Honorable mentioned Gavin Dawson would say diet coke, so I wrote that in for ya. - Thank you, buddy. - Yeah, I like coffee as well. You know, some kind of coffee. And when I drank beer on the weekends, I would always wake up in about 30 minutes after that, have at least a one or two quarters of lights before lunchtime, but when it started up. - If you're hooked to caffeine, you know the headache is gonna hit. If you give it two, three, four hours after you wake up without having the caffeine, you're dealing with a headache and it's no fun to start drinking beer with a headache. So you gotta layer it in appropriately. - Number 10, we got water with lemon. That's the most popular drink in the morning. - It is pretty fantastic. My wife's got me on that. You put a little ice cold water with maybe even a little bit of salt and then some lemon in there. It's a nice way to like prep the gut for the day. - Number nine. - So you can eat two pounds of ground beef. - Yeah, it's a friend of mine. - Roaching, baby. - It's got a prep. - You got a plan ahead, man. - Nine is the cranberry juice, Brian. - You're not alone on that. All the people are eating that cranberry juice. You're drinking the cranberry juice. Eight is hot tea. - Hot tea. - Hot tea, not tea. You don't like coffee. I couldn't send tea being a solid sub. Seven is chocolate milk. They get somebody texting. Never grow up. Chocolate milk, six, eight, two. - Tea just tastes like hot water to me. It's too watery. - You know, it's not, it's not tasteful enough. - Yeah, you gotta add a little bit of honey. - Add a little, maybe a little honey. - Or sugar or lemon, maybe some lemon. - Maybe some lemon. - Yeah, absolutely. Six is actually iced tea. - I like me some iced tea. - I'll dabble with some iced tea. - I'll dabble with some iced tea. - Not in the morning. - It's like an unsweet tea situation if you're going for that or is that like-- - Probably go either way. - That would be the hot tea. - With some chicken expressed tea in the morning. - Yeah, or like you go half and half. I don't usually dabble with it in the morning either, but hey, I love iced tea. So I'm not gonna knock it. Five is mimosas. - There you go. Nice little brunch. - Yeah. Maybe, yeah, Bloody Mary. You mix that in there. That's a solid breakfast drink to it. - I'll tell you what, it's a solid breakfast drink too. And you can put like, as you do the straw stuff, put all the fruit and vegetables, not fruit, but vegetables, meat. I mean, I've seen people put salami and all kinds of stuff. - Oh my gosh, they're what they're doing with these Bloody Marys. It's just like shrimp, bacon. - Yeah, exactly. - You make a meal out of that. - Stack the towers here. - You're wedging shish kebabs into-- - Damn right there. - The drinks. - That's what I was trying to say, I couldn't say it the right way you did it right now. - Number four is shish kebab. - Screwdriver. - The bloody kebab. - The screwdriver. - I drank five of those one time on a plane flight from gallows to New Orleans. - That's the vodka orange juice, right? - Wow, that's when you were painting the walls in one of those airports. - Five, I had five, yeah, I had five screwdrivers. - Sounds like you might hold a record. - Five screwdrivers and two beers in an hour, 10 minute flight. - Wow, that's impressive. - That's when they used to serve your drinks on a plate. - I missed those days. Top three, number three, we got orange juice. Number two is smoothies. - Is pulp or without pulp? - No pulp. - No pulp fresh. - Squeeze, give me the real stuff, man. - People like their protein smoothies in the morning, but number one is indeed coffee. Most popular breakfast room. - That's shot. - Thank you all, Chuck. - Thank you. - Top 10 at 420, most every afternoon here in the Jeep Bag Nation. Crusty's corner up next, which you got crusty. - Yeah, I'm gonna give you three names that the cowboys need to potentially poach, and then I'm gonna answer my guys some questions. We'll do that next. - Thank you, Lucius. Expressway is coming up here in about 30, 35 minutes. LA live is under an hour away. It's time now for Crusty's Corner. Brought you by Reliant Air Conditioning gimmick free AC repair and replacement. Here's the king, Brian. - Thank you very much, Joe. Thank you very much to Reliant as well for being a partisan. Also, thanks to all the tollos and folks that we got to interact with this week and with Flaktober. Great job of-- - Yeah, that was amazing. Thank you guys. - It was funny, we were like, oh, I'm responsible for one. And then you end up like, hey, let's go to a second one, or, you know, and it's a lot of fun to see people and go out and interact with folks. And thank you guys. Again, a lot of folks really didn't think I shaved my eyebrows. - Well, they learned Saturday. - They learned Saturday. When they saw me in person, they said, you really did shave your eyebrows. - Yep. - And I'm like, yeah, I did. - Chief really peed his pants. And we really have a triple bet payoff coming again Friday 'cause we can't pick games. - Again. - Live at Southern leisure spots in Patio and Florida. - It's your flag. - It's crazy. I have not picked one game right. We've done this four weeks now. Not one game right. - Let's go against what your gut's telling you. - That is for sure. We may have had some three week Ls in a row, like a losing streak like that before, but we've never had four straight losing wins from anybody. So, Brodas has made history to start this season. And I look forward to seeing what type of deals. Where can you take this, you know? How far into the season can you go on a regular season? - I guarantee you, I'm gonna run through the whole list of things that we have to do. And then like the final one, I'm gonna hand each of you a $100 bill 'cause I'm gonna run out of stuff to do. - What, you gonna be doing this cold plunge? - I will be doing the GMR ball to the full plunge with my dakis, my belt, and my. - People could segment, you know, whatever segment is. - People can leave, you really peed on yourself though. - Oh no, I mean, we got it. - Oh, I know, I had people coming up to church. - Yeah, and to me on Sunday. - I'm like, no, he really did. Yeah, I was like, he really did. And they're like, really? I'm like, yeah, he really did. He stood there and did it. So anyway. - It was full fledged, man. - Full fledged. - So much coffee that day. So much coffee. All right, my gang of seven, the cowboys are struggling right now with some, with their edge rushers. I just don't think there's a lot of depth. You know, if you look at, you know, where the cowboys are at right now, and to me, if Tank is gonna be likely a six week injury, think about putting him on the injured reserve, and I'm gonna go poach a guy. And what I mean, poach, these guys in the practice squads, you can go and offer them a roster spot for them one of your 53 spots. So I was interested in, like I say, my gang, they keep up with all the stuff. I said, hey, I need three names of potential. Let me ask you guys this. I've watched a couple of these guys already. I've actually watched in Gokway before. I watched him this summer. - I'm sorry, Brian. I just wanted to bring to your attention the word poach offended me. You know, that's comparing a football act to killing animals illegally. - Oh, okay. So give me another word then. - Yeah, shut up to the whales, man. - Just take, steal, sign off the practice squad. - There you go. - It was a little word to you guys. - No, Dawson, you had to go there. I appreciate what you're doing there. Look, you're looking out for me. I appreciate that. Okay. - Got it. - Signing off a practice squad. - Yeah. - There's three guys. Ask my gang of seven. Okay, see if you're interested in this. Any of these guys. Okay, cave along. Chase on? - No. - Okay, live on Chase, man. You loved him. LSU, right? - That was huge. - I was a, I'll kill him. - Is that the CD Lam here? - It was. That was the CD Lam here. - Yeah. He's on the Las Vegas practice squad. I watched him at Carolina. It wasn't bad. - It wasn't bad? - No, it wasn't bad. Now, for what you're trying to do right now. - Yeah. - There is. I'm serious, like. - What is he doing that's not bad? Is he rushing the passer? - He could rush the passer. - But he can't defend the run. - The thing, all the stuff that I saw of him with the past stuff was really, really good. And he's got to play off run blocks a little bit better. You're absolutely right about that. But I'm trying to think about, what's the problem you're going to have not having your two guys? - No, you won't be able to rush. - You won't be able to rush. - You won't have past rushes, right? So, to me, chase on or wheat. You know, that's kind of how you're looking at this right now. I mean, if you're thinking about, you could, we could all turn up our noses on these guys. - No, hey, beggars can't be choosers, man. - I'm not saying you guys, but I'm saying we can all like, ah, no, I know way. - But the gang of seven thinks, chase on would be a guy that they would consider. If they had to go after a practice squad guy, 'cause the initial quickness, the way he's able to play off the blocks as a pass rusher, I think he's got some change of direction to him as well, and kind of redirect. So the Carolina film wasn't terrible, it was all pre-seasoned film. Another one that they really, really liked was a guy named K.J. Henry that Washington drafted in the fifth round in 2023, he's 6'4", he's 255. And he's on Cincinnati's practice squad right now, is where he is. Now, this guy is 6'4", I'd say 6'4", he's 255, he's got length, he could play off blocks, he's got the ability to redirect, he's really got some good inside moves. I like the way that he can close down from the backside when running to the ball, he's got some quickness to him for a big long guy, the length, the reach. They moved him inside for some nickel tackle stuff too, so when they wanted to, but he was with the commanders this summer, and then they let him go, and Cincinnati has him on right now on the practice squad. And then the last guy that my guy's game, he was Janik and Gakwe, who's on the Ravens practice squad right now, now the problem with him, Gakwe is, he hasn't been playing the whole time. If I'm gonna go get a guy, I'm gonna go get a guy that's probably been playing the whole time. Yeah, you know what I'm saying? In a practice, she's been practicing, I don't have time to wait on somebody to ramp up, I don't have the ramp up period, I've got a, one of these guys has got to come in here and play. Now, what they'll probably do is remember the kid, Mohammed, remember how cool. Yeah, they'll probably, that's probably what they'll do. My, they'll go and sign somebody that they, that they know already. What's that? That was your, that knows already knows the system and all that and stuff like that. So I would, I would say instead of going out and poaching, like, or excuse me. Just signing a guy off a practice squad. Thank you, Brian. Yeah, signing a guy off a practice squad. I would, that's what I would do, which I kind of feel like you get a better quality of player, maybe even a better, like, a better player, but, and this is where my questions get to you guys. And I ask you this question first there, Wolchuck, is it too much to expect something from Carl Lawson? I don't think it's too much. I was somewhat intrigued when they brought him in, but then watching him rush the passer in a fourth quarter of the preseason and he did nothing. Had me kind of like, I don't know, this guy's got anything left. So I'm hopeful because I, I mean, John owning our buddy, I trust his vision and he's been a big Carl Lawson stand. Sure. So I, I, I'm hopeful you can get something out of him. I'm just keeping my expectations very low. How about you, Chief? Yeah, I think it is too much to ask for, for this guy to step in and be a legit player for you. This is a guy that you picked up in the month of August. I mean, all the guys you picked up in the month of August are not guys that you should legitimately be depending on. So yeah, I, I, especially as a pass rusher, as Wolchuck mentioned, he's not the same dude. So maybe as an edge setter, he can give you some snaps, but relying on him is definitely asking too much. Tell me if this sounds crazy, Brian, but if there's a premium on pass rush and we can't rush the passer or stop the run, would it be cheaper to just find big strong guys that you can put on the outside and at least lock down the run while we're waiting for Micah and Tank to return or do better at stopping? That's probably what you're going to be doing anyway when you start talking about kneeling and, and ghost and playing the edges. Yeah, you're going to play run defense anyway. You more so than, I was just trying to add some depth as a pass, pass rush piece. Situational pass rush down. You got somebody that's got some band. Oh, I like that. Yeah, I think Chase ought to be the dude for that. Yeah, it will, we'll be, we'll see how they go. Okay, I got one more, I have one more question here real quick. Sure far away. And Doss, I'll start with you on this one. Okay. 'Cause I have another question, but I want to answer this question I want to ask. Is there too much history with a Mari Cooper for the Cowboys to trade for him? Yes, absolutely. Yeah, the way that that ended. I mean, Jerry Jones has made it clear he wants guys that are loyal to him and are comfortable to be around. And I think there was just too much with a Mari not taking the jab and, you know, not doing what it took to stay on the field. And from my understanding, you know, Jerry did not take too kindly to that. How about you, Joe Chief? Is there too much, too much history for the Cowboys to trade for a Mari Cooper? Well, I think from a Mari standpoint, it would be, if I'm a Mari Cooper, I'm looking at a bunch of other options. There's a handful of teams I could use a receiver and Dallas. Kansas City? Yeah. It can't see the top of that list. And Dallas would not be. So yeah, I think it is maybe for both sides, but certainly for a Mari side, I'd be like, "Thanks, but no thanks." Yeah, I think that got personal for the Cowboys there. And that's ultimately why they made that decision. Doss, I guess one more question is real quick. And you can say yes or no on this one. Zach, Hunter Lipke, at this moment, is one of your three best offensive players. Mm. I'd have to say outside of Dak. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Outside of Dak. Yeah. I mean, I mean, I know that's one. CD Ferguson, and then do you want to put Dattle or Lipke? I think that's kind of where the question is now. So, you know what I'd say? Yes. I'd say he's number three. To this point in the year through four weeks, I've liked what I've seen from Hunter Lipke. Chief, I'll, I'll fart on that. And I'll still have Rico ahead of him. Okay. How about you there, Dawson? I don't think I'm putting Rico ahead of him, but I mean, you're saying he's better than like Zach Martin and Cooper BB and. Yep. Wow. That's so okay. So you're including offensive lineman in this two players. Yep. Okay. I mean, I definitely know if Tyler Smith is in the conversation, like for instance, it's exciting that you, that you're considering that though. I just thought I would see how, what your level of love for Hunter Lipke was. I'm high on Lipke. I think it should be him and Dattle. I'll let you be your backfield moving forward. I don't really think Dalvin Cook's going to help you. I think you have such a depleted group of skill players that maybe he is like your fifth most important guy right now. I think there's something to that. That's a good question, Brian. Very interesting. Thank you. Thank you, sir. We got three down two to go.
