Speaker 1 (00:08):
Bim and you ever ad audio disseminators, Michael Bartlett, Let's
let's talk about the Cowboys. And today Michael Micah Parsons
came out and said, I want Tyreek Hill in Cowboys
gear next year. Tyreek yesterday said he was going to
have to change his scenery.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
They just didn't like what was.
Speaker 1 (00:27):
Going on in Miami anymore. Time to move on from that,
and so here we go. Should the Cowboys sign Micah Parsons,
I'll give you the first.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
Dagger so to sign Tyreek Hill.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
Tyrek Hill.
Speaker 3 (00:44):
Yeah, Well, for.
Speaker 4 (00:45):
One, I believe it's going to cost about twenty six
million dollars, So I mean, for one, Michaeh. Parsons has
already gone on record and said that he's willing to
kind of take a hometown discount for the Cowboys. He
doesn't care about about being the top paid defensive player.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
Pressure.
Speaker 4 (01:02):
Yeah, because he kind of noted it as what we've
talked about. You can get paid handsomely, but you know,
instead of making forty million, okay, you'll make thirty million,
but you can divvy up that other ten million to
have other players.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
And that's what he was kind of saying along those
lines and.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
There's no reason why teams shouldn't our players shouldn't want
to do that. We got two point mind. I don't
care about everybody else. I don't care if we win
or lose. I just want to get paid.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:30):
Uh So that being said, absolutely not.
Speaker 4 (01:34):
I don't want Tyreek Hill because, as we talked about
it yesterday, he's a don't get me wrong, a very
talented player, but he's a undersized and underweight, fast receiver
who's going to be thirty two years old. You kind
of already have that with Cavante Turpin. Now, I'm not
(01:54):
saying that Cavante Turpin is is gonna be the next
Tyreek Hill, but you already kind of have that particular
position filled in that notion. I mean, Cavante Turpin is very,
very fast. We've seen that multiple times this year. The
way that they Cowboys use Kvante Turpin would be no
different than the way that the Miami Dolphins use Tyreek Hill.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
Correct. Here's the other thing to think of too.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
Players like other players because they're friends with them, or
they have a relationship with them, or there's something that
they've struck up a friendship over the years. But players
very seldom understand how to evaluate talent and more importantly,
how the evaluation of that talent is going to fit
in with the rest of the players on their team.
(02:40):
Now we've talked about and I said this yesterday, and
I said this all year long. LL assume Dak Prescott
comes back at ninety percent of what he was and
I think with the injury that he sustained, ninety percent
would be acceptable. You obviously would like to come back
one hundred percent, but if it's only ninety percent, there's
a lot of positive things that could happen with the Cowboys.
If they can draft Ashton Genty with the twelfth pick
(03:02):
they saw, they take care of their running back issue,
and Rico Daddle would probably be a very effective backup.
And then if they can move Tyler gard Guiding from
left tackle to right tackle or to a guard someplace,
maybe taking make him move over to an area where
he's going to be kind of hidden, maybe making the
replacement of Zach Martin at right guard, put him somewhere
(03:24):
on the offensive line. He's got talent. He was drafted
number one uh at for a reason the in the
first round, So move that around. Find yourself the alignment
that you need now that gets that situation settled.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
See if you can develop.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
Turpin a little bit more into being that slot receiver
for a lot less money than Tyreek Hill and at
a lot younger age, and then kind of build the
rest of your roster where you see the needs. And
because the Cowboys are going to play a medium size
schedule next year, because they finished medium size in the
league this year, they have a chance to win ten eleven,
twelve games again next year and and turn things around.
(03:58):
I think Tyreek Hill has got more trouble with him
than necessary than would be the benefit of having him.
I think Tyreek Hill would fit in very well with
an organization that has if he went back to Kansas City,
for example, because.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
He knows who's in charge.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
He knows he can't cut up and do the bad
things that he did in Miami in Kansas City. Andy
Read's not going to tolerate it. Patrick Mahomes is not
going to tolerate it. If you go some guys like
Tyreek Hill want and need a disciplinarian system. And of
all the things that Mike McCarthy and the Dallas Cowboys are,
it's a really, really loose ship, I think on the field,
(04:37):
because we all know very well who's in charge of
that team, and it's not Mike McCarthy. Who's in charge
of that team is Jerry Jones, and Jerry Jones always
wants sizzle, and this would be another sizzle factor for
him to go out and sell. But the most important
thing from a Cowboys perspective is that the team function well.
And if you've got somebody that's unhappy because he didn't
get enough targets and he opens his mouth, then that
(04:59):
starts paying door's box. If he's at a place where
the coach is a discipline coach, if he plays for
Mike Tomlin, if he plays for Andy Reid, even though
Andy Reid's not over discipline, you know where your boundaries are.
If he plays for a coach like that, I think
he'll have success because he'll he knows that what he
was doing other places will not be tolerated. But with
(05:19):
the Cowboys, he could be the cancer that creates problems
on the offense just because he won't shut up.
Speaker 3 (05:25):
Yeah, and you know he's already done.
Speaker 4 (05:28):
One thing that is already worrisome for me is he's
you know, scrubbed his his social media accounts and he's
replaced it with I don't know if you remember a
few years ago when Antonio Brown, you know, the disgruntled
receiver that left the Pittsburgh Steelers and then went to
(05:49):
Tampa Bay with Tom Brady and then iconically, you know,
ran off the field and took his jersey off and
quit like mid game.
Speaker 3 (05:59):
He basically did.
Speaker 4 (06:00):
That on his social media but just you know, photoshopped
his face on Antonio Brown's body.
Speaker 3 (06:06):
That's a gigantic red flag for me.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
Yeah, I don't understand people changing their social media platforms.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
And I obviously, you know, you were.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
With the Chiefs, so you're going to have some kind
of Chief stuff around you, and when you were with
the Dolphins, you're going to have Dolphin stuff. But all
of a sudden, when you decide you're not going to
play for that team anymore, you scrub all of your
history with and your I guess, your profile pictures and
all that kind of stuff. Either don't do that in
the beginning, or wait till you find another team that
you're going to be with. This idea that our brand
(06:39):
is so important and we can't let the Dolphins know
that we're still a part of their team anymore. I
mean that's just childish behavior. Grow up, you're thirty two
years old, get a life, get over yourself and move on.
And as much as I wish the Spurs were more open,
and they were and their star players had more access
to things, I really applaud them because Pop is all
(07:00):
he said, Hey, we don't need this social media stuff.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
Get over yourself.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
You're here to play basketball, do whatever you want to
do on your own time. Now, I think with the
younger generation, you have to let them have some leeway.
And I think when Benyama is a case an example
of a worldwide superstar. But back to Tyreek Hill, I
think it's just childish that you go on social media
and change everything because you're mad at the Dolphins.
Speaker 4 (07:21):
Yeah, and you know I was listening earlier. They played
a clip from the general manager and then.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
The head coach for the Dolphins.
Speaker 4 (07:29):
Was that Mike McDonald or McDaniels, Mike McDaniels, And they
kind of hinted at even though that the Broncos were
absolutely obliterating the Chiefs, so Miami was not going to
make it. They were kind of insinuating that Tyreek Hill
kind of pulled a I forget the dude's name from
(07:51):
the Niners that he kind of quit on the team
and you know that's why he didn't come back in.
And then they kind of made it about, oh, well
it was because he's been dealing with an injury all year,
but they let the cat out of the bag, basically saying, well,
he basically kind of refused to come back in and
then we just kind of disciplined him from that perspective.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
Now, I think a lot of times that I think
this is certainly the case with kids. Kids want to
be parented, they want to be disciplined, They want to
be told where their boundaries are. Otherwise they don't think
anybody cares or loves them. And while Mike McDaniel has
always run a pretty loose ship in Miami, most of
the players have not tested the boundaries of that relationship
(08:32):
that he has created with the rest of the team, and.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
Tyreek Hill did.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
Now Mike McDaniels this last few months has been trying
to be more of a disciplinarian and set ground rules. Well,
the cat's kind of already out of the bag. You've
already done the things that you weren't supposed to do
and on the field and off the field, and now
you quit on your team, and that's not acceptable, and
that's not tolerated at any level.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
Even though I'm giving you.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
A lot of leeway to be you and to have
your own personality, you need to know what the boundaries are,
and you know what your boundaries are. And that's going
to carry over for Tyreek Hill in other places that
he goes to interview for jobs or asks to be
traded to. If he wants to go someplace where everything
is loose and he can do whatever he wants, he
will not excel as a person and as a player
if he goes to a Pittsburgh, if he goes back
(09:13):
to Kansas City, if he goes someplace Kyle Shanahan and
San Francisco. I'm just throwing out coaches, not necessarily rosters,
but coaches that have a sense of demand of their players.
If you could even throw Bill Belichick into the mix,
if he was still coaching in New England. Guys like
that that have boundaries for their players and their players
know where those boundaries are. That's where star players often
(09:35):
shine because they know that they are gonna be taking
care of the correct way. A guy like Patrick Mahomes
and Jason and Travis Kelsey, they're going to do exactly
what they want to do and they're gonna listen to
the coach and they're gonna play by the rules because
they're mature enough to do that. A lot of young
football players are not. And Tyreek Hill, even though he's
thirty two, is still one of those players that needs
(09:57):
a little bit more of a discipline system for him
to shine.
Speaker 4 (10:00):
Yeah, and you know, I know he was kind of
mentioning and he's backtracked or at least backtracked a little
bit from his postgame comments, kind of insinuating that he
didn't want to come back, he wanted out, he was
going to go somewhere else.
Speaker 3 (10:13):
The general manager kind of said, you know.
Speaker 4 (10:15):
He he hasn't said that he wants to be traded
or anything like that. But to me and I understand,
you're a professional athlete in high school, you've probably won
all of your football games. In college, you probably went undefeated.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
So it went to Oklahoma State a lot there.
Speaker 4 (10:31):
Yeah, really I didn't know if he went to Oklahoma State.
So it's hard to get I say hard to get
used to losing. But when you're that talented, it's gonna happen.
But it's kind of what he wants to make the
most amount of money, which I'm all for. You know,
like you said, hey, you're nobody has ever overpaid. If
(10:51):
you think that that's what you're worth. Okay, fine, somebody
will will give you that. Maybe not, But to expect
that every single game you're gonna not only get your
stats that you want, you're also going to get a win.
Speaker 3 (11:03):
That just doesn't happen all the time.
Speaker 4 (11:05):
And it's not as if the Dolphins were, you know,
the Patriots this year to where they were like three
and fourteen. You know, the Dolphins were at least towards
the end of the season still mathematically in the playoffs.
But I just I don't want that type of toxic
cancer on the Cowboys, regardless of you know, his athletic
(11:28):
his athletic talents, because all that's gonna take is one
game where he doesn't get the football and he's gonna
start complaining.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
Absolutely all right, that's our take on Tyreek Hill. I
think both of us are in the camp of no,
that's not the right way to go. That's not the
best decision. Let's see if there's another player that the
Dallas Cowboys can go get and Tyreek Hill needs to
go someplace differently than the Dallas Cowboys.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
That just opens up Pandora's box.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
Whether Mike McCarthy's still the coach or somebody else becomes
the coach or not? All right, Coming up, we'll visit
with Mark van de Meer get his thoughts on the
last regular season game of the year in Tennessee and
also looking ahead of the Chargers. This is a really
interesting matchup this weekend when the Houston Texans take on
the Chargers.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
That conversation's coming up. Next.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
It's the Andy Everage Show on Sports Radio AM seven sixty.
