00:00So, you tear three ligaments, right?
00:19Yeah.
00:20And as you mentioned, it's a killer of an injury.
00:23You have at best 50-50 that he plays again.
00:27Oh, that he plays again?
00:29No, no, no.
00:30I'm sorry.
00:31At an above average level.
00:32What was the comparison you were making yesterday?
00:33Navarro Bowman.
00:35It's the same injury.
00:36And did he play again?
00:37He missed an entire next season.
00:39He came back.
00:40He was never quite the same.
00:42And what happened with him?
00:44Same thing.
00:45He tore all three ligaments in his knee.
00:46He also had, I think, he had an extra one, he had a meniscus tear.
00:49But it's a very similar tear.
00:51And he came back and he was never quite the same.
00:54So I mean, it's something where it's like, he made a Pro Bowl after, but a lot of people
00:58felt like it was just kind of a, oh, that's Navarro Bowman, vote him into the Pro Bowl.
01:02But it's something where you can, it's not 50-50 that he's going to come back and play,
01:07or even that he's going to come back and play at an above average level.
01:10It's 50-50 that he's going to come back and be that guy we saw.
01:13That's probably true.
01:14So and you don't have to do it the first round, but I think you got to do it in the day one
01:20or day two.
01:21Yeah, we should do it in the fourth round with all those players.
01:22That's probably not going to happen either, right?
01:24But day one or day two.
01:26So I should say day two, make it second or third round to replace him, to replace him
01:31because it's just the reality.
01:34If he's not going to play next year, which I mean, no one thinks he is.
01:38No one thinks he is.
01:39And even if he did, I mean, he's not ready until midway, midway.
01:44You still need somebody that year anyway.
01:47So I mean, you can never have too many linebackers anyway.
01:51It's a good position to have, even though it may not be like the most valuable position
01:55edge rush or whatever, or a corner, you still need the position.
02:01So and even if you don't draft it, what you're basically trying to say is you got to protect
02:06yourself.
02:07Plan on not having him.
02:08You got to act like add to your team as if he's not there.
02:10You have to act like you're never going to see him again, which has not typically been
02:13the Cowboys approach.
02:14No, the Cowboys approach has typically been you mean Jalen Smith?
02:17No, but the Cowboys approach is typically been more to just say we got him coming back
02:20like they turn it optimistically.
02:21Free agency.
02:22Like we're going to get even better.
02:23Are you kidding me?
02:24You're kidding me?
