Cowboys Mailbag: Troy Aikman As Head Coach? Trey Lance In Taysom Hill Role? Peyton Hendershot Trade?

[Music] a super thanks to begin today's mailbag from Chris I've been wa I've been subscribed since the start of the channel I watch every video that comes out you guys over the years have become a part of my routine and I see you guys almost like family what you do is awesome and I appreciate everything you do first off Chris uh one of the nicer things that has been said to me so thank you very much I don't think you know how truly how much that means to me uh I I'm so happy to have this job do everything I'm able to do and it's because of people like you who enjoy it and watch it and do all the other stuff that comes along with it so Chris thank you very much now any super thanks get shown here even it can still be Tom you suck doesn't have to be as nice as Chris's was but any super thanks we'll get a shout out here on the Cowboys report you can click that thanks icon edit your message we appreciate everyone who watches especially those of you who go above and beyond like Chris does $5 Super Chat from OB PIR dowo rb1 Davis rb2 Zeke rb3 do you agree no I am not that high on on Malik Davis um I would probably give the edge I will not announce I'll give the edge to De Von and Royce ran over Davis I I don't think there's that same level of juice that du vongh offers you I think Freeman is is a little bit more powerful of a runner and I also think this too I think the Malik Davis Royce Freeman uh Zeke Elliott role that's kind of all similar to me I want someone that offers more big plays I don't think lake Davis is a super big play guy I think he's fine he can be on my practice squad again but also I think if you're doing this you have to flip Davis and Zeke because I need my rb3 to play special teams and Zeke is just not going to do that so um and and also I am still going to be scouring the waiver wire this offseason to find running back help or trade options um saan amed's banged up probably do count from that category but I I am not satisfied at all here from Leroy Pearson Jr if you can make one major roster move via trade signing or release what would it be I am still coveting a dynamic impact 3 technique I've seen flashes of it from Osa odiga but you know if I could get Jonathan Allen type of healthy football player I'm all for that I don't think that's realistic I'll settle for just paying freaking C lamb but I I still crave that that crazy high-end impact Christian Wilkins type maybe not the contract defensive tackle Dallas fanatic I don't know if you're serious but I will answer it seriously bring in Randy Gregory a I don't think you need to because you have Carl Lawson playing that basically the exact same role I don't want to because it is a massive red flag for me that Randy Gregory signed with Tampa Bay Buccaneers did his little intro thing and then just never showed up and the Bucks still don't know why that's really bad so I hope that Randy's doing okay on a personal level but I think there's a lot of there's a lot of off field stuff that the Cowboys screwed up because they wanted to pay him and then they screwed up by not doing it and then ended up getting out of it in the end because they didn't agree to the contract terms which didn't even end up applying he just ended up being bad at Denver so they kind of two wrongs made a right in the end for Randy Gregory and as part of that I think that bridge is probably been burnt um I I don't know if either side wants to get back to there that was kind of an ugly break up and sometimes get back together with your ex look at Ezekiel Elliot I don't think that's the exact same thing as Randy Gregory though but I believe in democracy so you guys can vote would you bring back Randy y for yes n for no sound off the pin comment of today's show Buster Cherry Tyler K played good in my eyes there's room for improvement but what is it that needs to be improved in general a lot of this is going to come down to reps there's a lot of things that they haven't seen in the NFL you know NFL teams in most are not doing all these stunts and disguises and and overloads and loops and and showcasing all of their best pass rush moves against the best competition like the Raiders play their Stars a little bit guess what G's gonna get miles Garrett in week one gonna get Cam Jordan in week two that's a really hard matchup so you know responding to adversity and how you handle when you do get Beats whether it's your Technique you you have a low snap a bad snap yoube at times will go too quick trying to go from snap to blocking which is natural he's got a lot better there gon can still lean a little bit he can waste bend a little bit but he's gotten better with his technique work with Duke Manny weather and when you're playing more snaps and you're tired does your does your Technique regress back all those little small things you know the athletic traits are there the the the the ground floor is awesome I am thrilled out of what I've seen so far from both guys but it's a long season they are first year players you can ask any NFL player the guy they were week one as a first year guy verse week eight vers week 17 verse year five night

link ishma fruko if Jones doesn't pay lamb will he be there by week one I think so because I don't think he wants to miss out on a million dollish game check it's not quite a million but it's close to it I I I think he shows up it probably does not bode well for the future of negotiations though if that ends up being the case Church o Nation bro Zeke will break the single season rushing title this is his year quit hating I I can smell the sarcasm though I know you're not serious that's fine fine Johnny Henry you see du get lost behind that big offensive line thoughts he juked two guys he made two guys miss he had 19 yards with the contact like that's that's all good for me I I I I I can't quit him you know called called a soft spot that's fine um you know sixth round pick is a sixth round pick you always got to factor that into your evaluation stuff and your expectations but I saw more explosive playing at a duf than I've seen in the preseason so far low bar but we have a low bar in Dallas at the running back room Bush Gardens fan who would be wide receiver one if CD leams leaves be Brandon Cooks uh Jaylen tolberts and I don't know who your third receiver would be you're probably now that'll probably be after this upcoming season which also Brandon Cooks is a free agent so uh my number one contract player who's Tech contract franchise tag so it's an as there but number one guys Jaylen tolber you probably want to draft a receiver next year anyway you should probably pay your number one guy as well from Chrissy or Chrissy however you pronounce it pton Hendershot trade I'm down who wants P hot who who needs him like who's trading for your number three tight end who's probably not going to make your roster anyway you can offer him up uh I'm sure there is a you know you know we're going to cut this guy this guy this guy this guy call if you want to trade for him like borderline group chat between NFL GMS but I don't think I's going to trade for so name a player that you want to trade away sound off for me the comments of today's show for Mark $5 Super Chat thank you Mark the DT we got from Buffalo was good signing because we are so weak there I rate these guys Bas on the percent of teams he would start with what do you think that percentage is I don't think he starts anywhere I think that actually includes Dallas too I think it's still Osa and Mazy Smith now in terms of how many teams is he in the rotation for five to 10 maybe maybe differing levels of what that rotation looks like but he does fit what Dallas wants he was in the rotation to an extent last year for Buffalo so it was a fine I would have been on board signing Jordan Phillips in at the beginning of a free agency totally on board the Giants found some young guys that they really like at DT that made them Expendable Dallas went in and got a conditional draft pick for him love it great move do more of those things in in you know in March in April and not wait till August Brian greous time think Jerry Jones is is uh more about the money than winning a Super Bowl I this I think part of this conversation involves Steven Jones because he's got a lot of control here Jerry Jones has straight up said this he views all attention is good good attention he likes that I think I think if you told the Dallas Cowboys you can have what you've had the last 20 years or the last 12 years where if your quarterback's healthy you are in the playoffs or almost the playoff team but you've got a whatever 5% chance of winning a Super Bowl each year or you can tell them hey it's six years of success but it's a 15% chance at a Super Bowl they're going to take the the the first option they don't want to win a Super Bowl at all costs that is not how they operate their business they want to not be bad at all costs and they are still facing that as a possibility this this next off season but they they play to not lose stuff and I think that that is frustrating for them and as long as the money's good and that comes along with being a a 10- win team they're just fine they're just fine with that outcome Brian Rudolph did you think of the Sports Illustrated uh suggesting troyman is next Cowboys head coach glad you asked that actually I'm kind of glad you asked because I wasn't going to bring it up because I didn't think it was worth my time it was so stupid that is like the dumbest thing I've read all day and I've read a lot of stuff today about cidi lamb and Ezekiel Elliott and all that other crap like that is such a dumb idea hiring a head coach who has never coached period does not make sense it's a horrible business strategy it's a horrible decision like Aman as a head coach makes zero sense you want to put him in the front office okay he expressed interest there I'm not making my GM day one I think will mlay is better but you know cowboys trotting out Troy Aman or Jason Whitten is unserious Behavior so frankly sometimes freedom of speech is a mistake and S suggesting tryman as Cowboys head coach is a mistake and maybe we shouldn't have that for everybody who will be the Cowboys head coach in 2025 it's not it's not gonna be Aman um I'm worried it's gonna be my Mike Zimmer uh but who be the Cowboys head coach of 2025 let me know in the comments of today's show Food review hell scenario Dak leaves Mike's fired Trey is bad and doesn't resign and you're pick at 24 what the hell do you do do you reach for a quarterback do you go BPA trade the farm for for a pick I don't even know this is the point I've tried to make and I think it summed up pretty well uh when we have the quarterback conversation it's why I want a decision now because this is an option now CU you're you're going to be 24ish probably you might have Dak you're probably going to fire your head coach what is your plan you're going to bring in Russell Wilson after he didn't make it in Pittsburgh we're gonna try we're gonna try it out Jimmy orolo you gonna just let Lance try it out those are not good options the the quarterback class the guys that are there at 24 are would probably be a reach like a should they say is okay well if he's good he's not going to last a 24 or if you think he's going to be that Superstar caliber QB but do you want to tra to get 24 to like five it's like three first round picks You' be better off just paying Dak the money and keeping your first round picks so that is my hell scenario and I don't know what the solution is because none of them are very good from Mr J what do you would say Tom to using Trey Lance like tesm Hill I think if you want to like find a way to utilize him and you're committed to do that I think a TM Hill roll makes sense I have said this more on like our NFL shows than our than our Cowboy show here um I don't like the taste of Hill BR that much like I I have a better quarterback it's it's a similarish you know one was a Hall of Famer when the when the Saints took the ball out of Drew Brees's hands to make TM Hill a thing I thought that was always stupid you have a Hall of Fame quarterback now it's you don't have one in Dak Prescott but you got a QB that was second in MVP do I really want to not use him and instead let Trey Lance do Wildcat stuff maybe the occasional package is fine but I just I I never like that package all that much so it's a it's a fun way to to maximize Lance but is that and should it be my priority folks we are live twice a week here on the Cowboys report so if you haven't already hit that sub button and subscribe [Music]
