Cowboys Rumors On Rico Dowdle Role, Trade CeeDee Lamb To Draft Shedeur Sanders & DeMarvion Overshown

[Music] welcome into the Cowboys report I am Tom Downey and Today's Show is made possible by ran you can get 20% off by going over to ran.com chatsports and using Code chatsports before we get into some Rico doule roll conversation some updates on Dem marvan overshown and a very stupid ESPN idea we are in a sub battle this week against the Browns now pet didn't want to work as hard Pet's not here today for the Browns so we get the early advantage over them let's crush them in the weekly sub battle hit that sub button for multiple Cowboys videos every single day first up I want to discuss the RICO dle role uh he is primed for a bigger role than what he had last season and Mike McCarthy very much not even hinted outright stated as much but I'm curious just how much more work he's going to get first here's what Big Mike said about Rico at a recent press conference he's going to have opportunities we tend to forget Rico is an excellent special teams player too he'll just have a lesser role in special teams just because of workload Focus but yes he's a complete running back plays all three Downs I think his pass protection from Rookie year to now it's become one of his best assets Rico was a less impactful special teams player last year despite being active and playing more games because he had a bigger role on the offense already he played Just 88 special team snaps last season that was good for second or 22nd on the team and he played just 10 total snaps after week 10 that's significant cuz I think Mike's commenting about a lesser role on special teams relative to last year and not when he was a a you know a special team only player at the start of his career I thought Rico d played pretty well last year you 89 carries 369 one yards 17 catches 144 yards I do think he played pretty well in pass protection by no means perfect but I thought he was pretty solid all things considered the things I saw from Rico I kind of thought he should have had a bigger workload at times down the stretch last season but I liked what I was seeing out of him I I I thought he did a pretty good job with his responsibilities and I do think he's worth giving a bigger workload to this upcoming season so pinned comment we'll go more in depth on this here in a moment is Rico D the best running back on the Dows Cowboys why for yes and for no at the pin comment of today's especially the ad comes here on YouTube now I believe that Rico dle is the best option of the current guys on the roster at running back I don't know if the Cowboys feel the same however which we'll find out I guess come week one I think also that's probably a conversation that that front office course is going to have pretty much after every single game Ezekiel Elliott got paid more Ezekiel Elliott has more it's not political is the right term for it but like has more impact on this organization from what he's been in previous years with Dallas he also didn't play at all in the preseason which seems significant given the fact that you know that's often how teams judge who's going to be a keep part the Cowboys had said previously they thought Zeke played great down the stretch looked like his old form he did not I I I don't want to hear it he did not he averaged under three yards per carry and look the Patriots passing offense was bad Zeke was truly one of the most uh involved options in the passing game because of how bad it was doesn't mean he was efficient doesn't mean he was good um I I was very underwhelmed from what we saw out of Ezekiel Elliott down the stretch line last year he had a couple nice flashy Splash plays the problem is as you age the splash plays tend to decline and not go back up so look if you believe Zeke's going to have a big bounce back here and Tom's going to look stupid great I I hope that ends up happening but we don't have to say that he played great last year because he didn't he didn't play well last year down the stretch once he was a starter it was worse on offense but maybe things return to form more Cowboys conversation to come here on today's show but first first Today's Show is made possible by Rome I want to

and the description of today's show let's be nice to ESPN because we're about to be very mean to them here but they listed de Marv and overon as the Cowboys top X Factor for the 2024 NFL season which I don't mind at all here's what Ben solak who now writes for ESPN wrote on overshown he is Dallas's best bet at finding a true three- down linebacker on the roster better than Bell who's going to play safety Kendricks or 2023 third round selection Maurice lefou of the undersized options he has the sideline to sideline r range and violence into contact that were will remain viable against the run if he converts to promising pre-seasons into successful regular season play he'll quickly become a playmaker Zimmer deploys on his complex blitzes too I explains about that uh I think look there are several different players you obviously could have went with there I think overshown is a pretty solid selection though I am excited for him in 2024 the the Cowboys need somebody and TR some buddies to emerge at off ball linebacker this year Zimmer's going to use more of them now overshown has added some weight this past off season seems like he hasn't lost any of the speed either had the hip pointer that I or hip flexer hitp pointer whatever it was that I I think is in pretty decent shape he was back out there at practice previously we'll know more as we get into injury report season uh for the Dallas Cowboys Deone Clark Eric Kendricks Maurice Leaf I think all four guys are going to play Buddy Johnson should play on special teams I overshown is like he was going to be your best first year player last year had he not gotten hurt hopefully he that continues into this upcoming season who is your biggest X Factor then for the Cowboys in 2024 over shon's a good answer lots of other ones how Rico doule it's probably actually a decent X Factor answer there so let me know in the comments section of today's show now we're going to be mean to ESPN so ESPN's Mike tanon buom had some Tannon bomb get it get it had some wild claims about the Cowboys plans for next year that I want to get into here's what Mike said trade multiple first round this is how how they go get shadur Sanders right trade multiple first round picks and maybe CD lamb and then the other crew on first day was like what are you talking about he's like if you're starting over yes CD Lamb's Expendable and then they were like no what are you talking about he's like there's a better chance in my opinion that shadur Sanders could be the quarterback there next year than Dak Prescott at this point uh first I actually did catch this live because I I took Olivia golfing and and the clubhouse as we walked into it had first take on so while we were getting set up uh it was just that was the part that was on and then I walked away cuz I was really freaking stupid uh everyone else was mocking him by the way on the show they're like you're crazy like they uh they did not like that take at all Jordan Lewis saw get up or guess was get up not first take tweeted out and said I can't emphasize enough how much I can't stand you mfers spot the lie as far as I'm concerned uh do you agree with Jordan Lewis pointing out that ESPN and get up is stupid one for yes two for no go ahead and sound off for me in the comments section of today's video and then I'll break down why the whole thing is stupid Jordan's right we are this is what pisses me off a little bit too about like these these big talk shows we are in the middle of college football football season it has just started the NFL season is a is actually less than a week away and the one of the Premier ESPN shows is talking about a the 2025 how does shadur Sanders get to Dallas that's what we're talking about let's talk actual football it it truly was this by the way it was the uh it was the the uh the Billy Madison what you've said is the most insanely idiotic things I've ever heard and at no point in your rambling in career response I word you no points but God have mercy on your soul whole thing was stupid it's a very like how are you a foral former NFL GM and that's your plan I guess that's why you're you're former if shadur Sanders the Colorado quarterback is as good as we want him to be as I think he can be he checked off all the boxes against lesser competition much more challenging games to come you've got to move in the top five like if he is a franchise QB with all the hype around him he's going to be a top five pick right so you got to get in the top five your plan is to trade away CD lamb so you're going to pay $305 million to not have CD lamb in 2025 plus like whatever it is for Dak $40 million maybe a post you in first and save it you're going to pay 70 plus million dollars to not have your number one wide receiver not have a QB I guess you're going to trade for shur so it's fine multiple future first round picks and have no actual way to get a number one wide receiver so you can develop and grow your new franchise QB look Mike tanon bum was a bad GM I did that one on Purpose By the way same with same with the spelling there this is how you become a former NFL GM we're going to rebu go get a new QB and have no Playmakers for him come on and that has now translated multiple times over stupid opinions the same guy I think it was tanon bomb pretty sure it was who had was like H hooker should be a top five pick he's a backup in Detroit and also act like no one knew who he was even though he was a Heisman Contender the entire season he's dumb and frankly just don't watch those shows and my only suggestion for Jordan Lewis next time screenshot it don't quote tweet it don't give them the views [Music]
