00:00all knowers and we just talk ball oh your market just took a hit brandon aubrey let's talk about
00:07it let's fight about it here in below the belt which is brought to you by academy sports i hope
00:13brandon aubrey finds you on the streets kicks you right in the nuts why well you want to you
00:18want to fork over even more yeah you you want to contribute to busting the budget like we're all
00:22about a balanced budget amendment here in frisco okay uh all right so yesterday we got some news
00:30and i and i know you're you think i'm picking on brandon aubrey a little bit
00:36i would just say i'm i'm not picking on him i'm picking on his position and how little i care
00:43for
00:43it for the most part uh kayemi fairbairn who i know a lot of cowboys fans don't look around across
00:51the
00:51rest of the nfl to realize there are a few different kickers that have been as good as
00:55brandon aubrey and they just think like he's some superhuman that nobody else can do what he does
01:00that's how i thought uh he signed a new deal we have a new highest paid kicker in the nfl
01:06driving
01:07up that market by a hundred thousand dollars kayemi fairbairn signed a two-year extension with the
01:14texans making 13 million dollars that's six and a half million per season it just barely eclipses
01:19harrison butker i don't know that it makes a lot of sense for brandon aubrey to definitely claim
01:2510 million or in shefter's case 12 million in a second or whatever he said uh i find it really
01:32difficult when you have a second round tender on him and you can make him play for 5.7 i
01:36find it
01:37really difficult to even accept saying we'll top the market by a million and a half for you yeah so
01:43this is good for the cowboys kayemi fairbairn since 2023 which is when brandon aubrey got into
01:51the nfl kayemi fairbairn is 90.7 on field goals brandon aubrey's 88.2 he's better than him uh
02:00fairbairn's right around 80 on field goals of 50 plus aubrey's aubrey's like 79.5 fairbairn's 80
02:07same kicks on that 50 plus now a lot of people yesterday going what about 60 plus it's like the
02:12nfl doesn't track 60 plus and i'm not going through every individual kick and going to track it but
02:15whatever even if he does that that's not enough to me to all of a sudden go yeah but even
02:20though
02:20he's a more accurate kicker there and a more accurate kicker from 50 and actually fairbairn's
02:24more accurate basically through every interval that they track in the nfl because he's been better
02:29from 60 that all of a sudden that means i'll pay 2 million above market price for that one how
02:33many
02:33attempts and makes what he have to have from beyond 60 for you to value and include that as an
02:39extra category zero once you're at 50 plus you're at 50 plus i don't want to kick that's his superpower
02:45it's not worth two million dollars over market price it's just not if you want to top fairbairn
02:50fine if you want to make an argument say he should get 6.6 or he should get 6.8
02:55or something fine i'm not
02:57going to 8 for you especially when i can make you play on 5.7 so fairbairn is just one
03:04example of
03:04this and i was like cam littles really the yeah he's he's the free he's on grass where does brandon
03:11aubrey since he entered the league where does brandon aubrey rank in field goal percentage in
03:14the nfl i mean i would guess he's uh number three i'm not gonna no do it you have to
03:22play this is being
03:23on the radio chop you have to participate you know what this is this is all these espn top 10
03:29lists about 2015 trying to find anybody to replace mike trout as the best player in the game okay that's
03:36what this is this is anybody use you can use your little nerd stats like percentage this is usually
03:41you literally i could use i can i can use several this is like saying he's the best this is
03:46like
03:46saying where is the best in the league where did my because the narrative says he's the best in the
03:50league all right and i had to sit here for all you idiots out there telling me this guy's the
03:55best
03:55this guy's the best because the narrative says that all right i don't really have any good examples
04:00because i'm just kind of making this up as i go along yeah but where do you think he ranks
04:03field goal percentage see i don't like that i don't like user field goal percentage i don't think
04:09it's got enough nuance okay 11th okay they're their 10 kicker they're the third of the league has
04:14been better than him on 50 plus you if we if you want to change it to 50 plus of
04:18those 10 kickers
04:19that have been better than him more than half of them six are more accurate than him from 50 plus
04:25do you believe there are 10 kickers better than that's what i was gonna ask i believe there are
04:28probably i i think that when you get to the level where aubry's at i think you're talking about
04:34roughly the same value and i think there's about eight kickers who can do what he does so you never
04:38thought at any point in this last two-year run he was this superhuman ultimate weapon what he was
04:44doing when it when his hype and star blew up initially yeah he was the first he was the forerunner
04:49the rest of the league has caught up the rest of the league is doing that now cam little made
04:5367
04:54and 68 last year aubry had 65 the most accurate kicker in the nfl is somebody who's been exiled
05:00twice in the last three the last most accurate kicker over the last three years somebody who's
05:04been exiled twice and is 41 years old it's nick folk by a considerable amount he's been he's the
05:09most accurate kicker from 52 yeah yeah look if you don't i'm not i don't say i'm not saying i
05:14want to
05:14pay him eight ten million dollars a year right but i just i don't like the i don't like the
05:19the
05:20tear down i don't like the tear down if i told you mike trout was in the 67th percentile of
05:26war
05:26among major league outfielders would you say um yeah probably shouldn't make him the most that's
05:31the difference is that he was not that you can you can find several numbers that say trout's one of
05:35the best aubry's one of the best but it's just a broad tier this is not mahomes and everybody else
05:40do you okay now here do you trust him over any game on the line where is your clutch factor
05:49clutch
05:49factor yeah do you bring that in do i trust him more than trust him more than cam a little
05:53more
05:53than fair bear in a in a no in a one kick spot no i assume when those two step
05:59up on the same kick
05:59they're gonna make it too are you responding to this tolo charlie's tweet saying your field goal
06:05percentage leaves out that context of the 60 yarders and that same spam fair bairn has zero 60 yard
06:12attempts only one in his career oh aubry has nine and made six so there's a bunch of people who
06:18came
06:18in and said that so a bunch of people replied said it's the 60 it doesn't take into account 60
06:23and he
06:23doesn't it's like i don't care that's if you're telling me eight field goals in three years is
06:29enough to pay him one and a half million over the market basically like a third over the top of
06:36the
06:36market no way i'm telling him to play on the the tender if he's not going to just sign for
06:41six five
06:41or six six yeah um yesterday was a good thing for the dallas cowboys organization with this
06:47development with this negotiation no doubt it would have sucked if he got seven seven and a half in
06:52houston um because it's like okay with all the numbers that i present to you todd france what are
06:59you presenting back to tell me that he should make three million more or even a million and a half
07:05if
07:05you want to take it to eight and i would be fascinated to hear what todd france said back to
07:10that again
07:11brandon aubry's good the kicking like kicking in the nfl though is not is not something where we
07:19haven't generally leveled out the top like there's there are like some standout like just about every
07:25position in the nfl you're going like that's the guy and and and statistically that is the guy by a
07:29considerable amount at almost every position that's not kicker now kicker is there about 10 guys who are
07:35doing this and doing it consistently especially with the the k-ball changes that we've talked about
07:39then why don't we hear about them the same just because it's a cowboy because it's a cowboy because he
07:45was
07:45the first and so i don't think people have caught on to the fact that like this is being done
07:50around
07:50the league now like especially last year really kind of throttling it up will you give him seven
07:56um seven to be done no it's got to be six five you're flying over five 500k no i would
08:01just make
08:02him play on the tender this year but i generally don't want to pay a kicker more than four million
08:06okay it's just it's too much to commit to a position that i think i can find i found brandon
08:12aubry
08:13off a soccer field brett maher walked in here and was making 58 yarders and was one of the more
08:19accurate kickers in the league for two years man i look i i understand the premise of not wanting to
08:25pay a kicker i really do i struggle with the tug of war because and i get it i'm going
08:31the complete
08:31opposite like if i'm thinking i'm falling into the trap where if i don't have brandon aubry i've got
08:36an unknown or that unknown it's not the quarterback position yeah that unknown could be a frustrating
08:42guy who misses a ton of kicks and big spots and it's a wild way to live it's a wild
08:48way to live
08:49so i i understand what you're saying but to me i think this is a i kind of wish i
08:53did it's a gift
08:55no it's a yeah it's a gift in terms of like a Aubrey's a gift Aubrey's a gift no like
08:59what you
08:59know what they signed fairbaring for is yeah that's a leverage gift for sure for the cowboys yeah
09:03there's there's zero if he is insistent on i need to make eight million dollars i think you go no
09:08you you have no basis to do that i'll give you seven there is zero leverage for brandon aubry
09:12in the negotiations seven you maybe get to seven and a half uh because you know you're like what
09:17are you really gonna buy for half million dollars you know what kind of player not half of jonathan
09:21mingo season yeah i mean that's it like are you really gonna if it's doing six and a half and
09:26seven and a half well that's jonathan mingo that's that's the kind of play you're getting for a million
09:32dollars i can i mean i'm just in general when you look at we know you don't want him no
09:37but i know
09:37like okay so does that not move you at all though like seeing that the the number of kickers like
09:42there are 10 guys doing across the nfl over three years not one over three years doing what he does
09:46and actually at a slightly more efficient rate i'm choose not to believe the numbers and
09:52choose not to believe that's where we're going now we're going uh just i'm viewing it as cook
09:57cook numbers cook books all right all right well with their extra money that they've i don't disagree
10:01with you uh on right now the negotiation that's how i would negotiate i think it feels unfair to say
10:07do it on the tender after what he's done for you and what he's making that feels it feels bad
10:11faith
10:12yes um you want to do right by somebody i want to do right by someone but i understand like
10:17that was
10:17very good what happened yesterday for the negotiation yeah and uh look i've said before i think he's he's
10:22worth the seven million if he gets it he's probably worth it i don't want to pay it though
10:27yeah it's just what it is i don't want to do that all right a couple updates really quickly on
10:30what
10:30the cowboys did yesterday other than sat there and and weeped silently over max crosby uh pj lock
10:37has signed with the cowboys this is somebody we mentioned uh last week a beaumont native uh has been
10:42with the broncos for a few years one year five million dollars good deal he's got experience with
10:46christian parker he's going to be a uh a rotational strong safety and special teamer for them and let me
10:52play a really cool moment i thought that i mean to me this just shows you uh the connections the
10:58dedication the coverage of the station when it comes to this week why you shouldn't go anywhere
11:03else in my opinion you'd just be robbing yourself of the knowledge that brian brought us just got
11:07instantly on gbag sean payton got back to us oh heck yeah sean i tell him i said hello he
11:15liked you
11:16buttering him up i did you buttered his okay okay okay read the exact text you sent and then give
11:21us
11:22his response uh hey coach gave a great scouting report on williams last season outstanding can you
11:28give me one on your former guy lock love his tape thanks brought us he says great to hear from
11:35you
11:35brian our safeties play left and right so he could play down in the box or play the deep third
11:41he's very
11:42versatile he's a great teammate he covers well he tackles well really gonna miss him okay all right
11:51we got to take his word for it he's not he wasn't blowing smoke on javante williams nope he was
11:56right
11:56about that glad to hear he's a good teammate we know he's a good tackler he speaks to him as
12:00a
12:00versatile player and that's what you get with gbag they will repeat verbatim on the air what you tell
12:05though that was a good connection by brian i haven't taken any audio like jabs about that yet
12:17so i'm having fun with it that's all so below the belt right here on dfw sports station and then
12:23the
12:23nose tackle bob oh yeah they got uh otito obonia who is a rotational depth defensive tackle it does
12:29continue to fill out that room and make you wonder about osa though as there's more chatter and reports
12:33about him
