00:00Stay in the division. Harry, let's look at Dak Prescott and C.D. Lamb.
00:04When last seen healthy, these two guys were tearing up the league.
00:07Will this offense return to that kind of form?
00:101,000% like a baby needs a bottle, Greeny.
00:13And the last time we've seen Dak Prescott in his greatest form,
00:17it was third in the National Football League in passing
00:19with over 4,500 yards, 36 touchdowns, and just nine interceptions.
00:23The Dak attack is back.
00:24Back, and we'll see just how good it winds up looking.
00:27If you want to hear confidence, let me play you C.D. Lamb yesterday,
00:30extremely confident about what this Dallas offense is going to be this season,
00:34sending out a warning to the entire NFL.
00:38I feel like the league knows what happens when I'm healthy,
00:41and I have Dak for a whole season.
00:44But if you don't, I will happily show you what it's going to be like this year.
00:48Honestly, I'm a dominant receiver.
00:52I don't like to speak highly of myself, but I can't wait to show you guys.
01:00I'm the best you've ever seen, but I ain't going to say too much.
01:03I don't want to talk about it, but I'm the best.
01:05May I just say, wide receivers are my favorite people in the entire world.
01:10You better believe it.
01:11Because in consecutive seconds or sentences that were not divided even by a breath,
01:17he said, I'm a dominant receiver.
01:19However, I don't like to speak too highly of myself.
01:22Well, and I love everything about C.D. Lamb, and I love that confidence
01:25because to play that position, to walk around with that pizzazz,
01:28you have to feel like that about yourself.
01:31Very different from offensive linemen.
01:33Yes, like the offensive line is polar opposites.
01:36But you know what?
01:37I love it, though.
01:37I love that.
01:38Let me show you just how good these guys were when last they were together.
01:432023, the last time Dak stayed healthy.
01:45He had a career season.
01:46He was the first Cowboys quarterback since Roger Staubach to lead the league in passing touchdowns.
01:52And C.D., you see the numbers.
01:54136 catches, 1,749 yards, 12 touchdowns, both top three in the league.
02:00So you said this offense is going to be that kind of dangerous,
02:04but are they going to be pass-heavy this season?
02:07I don't believe they can be pass-heavy.
02:09And the reason why I say that, Greeny, when you look at five of the seven teams
02:13that made the playoffs last year in the NFC, they were top six in Russia.
02:17So you want that balanced attack, and that's the beauty part about having Brian Schottenheimer.
02:21He did that, D. Wood, when he was your coach with the New York Jets,
02:24back when the last time they made the playoffs.
02:26He did that in Seattle.
02:27This offense has to be balanced in order for them to get to where they want to be
02:31when it's all said and done.
02:32You played for Shottie.
02:33You just pointed it out.
02:34That offense with the Jets, and that was vastly different.
02:36You had a rookie quarterback rather than an experienced and outstanding veteran
02:41in Dak Prescott.
02:41But what do you expect this offense to look like under Shotton?
02:44I think it's going to be totally different than what we saw with Mike McCarthy.
02:47You know, where if Mike McCarthy was static, you're going to see a lot of motions.
02:51You're going to see a lot of different formations.
02:53You're going to see shotgun.
02:54You're going to see pistol.
02:55You're going to see all the different variety.
02:57And here's the one last thing I'm going to say.
02:59His dad was Marty.
03:01Yes.
03:02Marty Ball.
03:02Right.
03:02Running the football.
03:03You're going to see a lot of that in Dallas.
03:06Like, as much as we talk about Dak Prescott, George Figgins, CeeDee Lamb,
03:09they're going to run the football.
03:10How about them Cowboys, K-Mart?
03:12Dare I say, kind of love them Cowboys.
03:15Yeah.
03:15You know why?
03:16Because for the first time, it feels like we're going to talk about the Cowboys
03:20all season long because they will be one of the more intriguing teams.
03:25I don't think we're sleeping on them.
03:26I think we're looking at a team that has the potential to be a great offense,
03:30but we also know their question marks.
03:32Can you stop the run?
03:34Can you run the ball?
03:35Those are still going to be paramount to their success.
03:38But if you're not excited about George Pickens and CeeDee Lamb,
03:41CeeDee Lamb, one of the most dynamic, outstanding wide receivers we have.
03:45I don't want to speak.
03:46He doesn't want to talk about it.
03:47I don't want to speak too much about that.
03:49You're going to see it.
03:50You're going to see it.
03:51But this is why they're exciting, not for the off-the-field stuff.
03:54We have plenty of time to talk about Jerry and Mike and all that,
03:56but this offense and this roster is intriguing.
03:59That's part of the reason that I was so frustrated.
04:01If you were with us yesterday with all of the nonsense going on with Jerry Jones
04:04and Micah Parsons, I actually found myself 100%, if not 1,000%, on Micah's side,
04:09which for me is not usually the case.
04:12Because the reason it frustrates me is that it does seem to be taking away
04:15from a team that I think has a chance to be so much better than the projection.
04:19Vegas is giving them seven and a half wins, D. Wood.
04:22But, I mean, Dak Prescott gets that rolling out of bed.
04:24Well, I just want to know, Green, why are you so frustrated?
04:27That's the reason, because why are we – I feel like any energy that at this moment
04:34distracts or detracts from what we should be doing at the beginning of training camp
04:39where everyone's spirits are high, you've got Micah Parsons seeking out reporters,
04:43you've got Trayvon Diggs standing next to him like his hype man,
04:46like firing him up to be like, yeah, T.J. Watt got paid, and Miles Garrett got paid,
04:50and all these guys got paid.
04:51Why the hell are you not paying me for?
04:53And all of us are sitting here going, you know, he's right.
04:55Why the hell are they not paying him for?
04:57I feel like that – I don't know if it will wind up hurting them this season,
05:00but it can't help, and there's no reason for it.
05:03Here's what I want to say.
05:05This is what I know about the Dallas Cowboys.
05:07Number one, they pay their stars.
05:09Right.
05:09We paid – two off-seasons ago, we were literally every day talking about,
05:15when is Dak going to get paid?
05:16When is Dak going to get paid?
05:17And then he got paid when?
05:18The day of the opener against the Cleveland Browns.
05:21Right.
05:21That's number one.
05:22Number two, Jerry loves this Greenie.
05:25Yeah.
05:25Greenie, you've been in this business long enough to know Jerry eats this up.
05:29He eats up when he has these press conferences,
05:32and they have all this drama with Micah and now Trayvon.
05:36He eats this up because ultimately, Jerry's the ultimate marketer.
05:41He wants us to be fed and drawn into all of this.
05:44And that's the Greenie's point about why are we talking about very simple contract stuff
05:48where you know you've got to pay Micah, when Jerry could be at the podium saying,
05:53CD, George Pickens, you better watch out for us.
05:57Yeah.
05:57We are a Super Bowl caliber team with the roster that I've built.
06:00Because that's not in his DNA.
06:02Yeah.
06:02Right.
06:03You think Jerry Jones didn't just see the Los Angeles Lakers get sold for $10 billion?
06:07And the Cowboys right now are worth $10.1?
06:10Oh, we've got to up the ante.
06:12The Lakers are close to us?
06:14Oh, no.
06:15We've got to up the ante.
06:16Jerry Jones sees all these things.
06:17He needs to stop programming the A block and get up and start getting his best player signed.
06:21In the meantime, let's see.
