Hour 1: Who should the Cowboys target for trades?
S
25:28Shay CornettHOST
... "We're trying our best here." Are the Eagles making it harder on their quarterback? Are they making it harder on Jalen Hurts this season with all the changes, Lu?
L
25:36Lewis RiddickGUEST
I mean, look, anytime you lose a guy of Cam Jurgens' quality, that is, you know, it, it's a blow.
L
25:49Lewis RiddickGUEST
Insert Drew Kendalls, who Howie obviously feels as though, you know, given the fact that this is a former fifth round pick, how well he has played.
L
25:57Lewis RiddickGUEST
And objectively speaking, when you watch Drew Kendalls play, who is their new center, he's playing pretty darn good.

Hour 2 – Louis Riddick, Todd Who?

Louis RiddickGUEST
I really do because, you know, I, I put it like this, um, they have a freshman quarterback, Tate Reynolds, now, who really is a guy who seems to be, like, lifting the hopes of not just the players on the field with his ability to run the football, play with power, play with force.
Louis RiddickGUEST
But he's kind of lifting the spirits of, you know, the football building, the fan base, I think, overall because he just has that kind of aura about him.
Louis RiddickGUEST
He kind of, like, really embodies what people are, uh, what, what everybody looks for in that kind of leader.

Louis RiddickGUEST
Look, just Aaron, knowing Aaron the way I do, um, which is not as well as, you know, people who are obviously around him every single day, I mean, Dan, he's, he's one of my favorite people, let alone favorite players, because he's generous with his time, he's honest, he's straightforward.
Louis RiddickGUEST
It's just been about this journey that he's on just to be great, as great as he possibly can be, and he talks about it in such a pleasant way when you're talking to him, and then when you watch him play, you're like, "Damn, I don't even know that dude.
Louis RiddickGUEST
That dude's nasty." So for him, like, he doesn't, he doesn't waste people's time.

Jim RomeHOST
From a pure football standpoint, Louis, how do you think that he projects on the next level, and secondarily, how high would you think he would have gone had he gone in April's traditional draft?
L
31:08Louis RiddickGUEST
Um, you're talking about height, weight, speed, mobility, functional mobility, arm angles, horsepower in his arm, the ability to throw with touch and velocity, throw outside the pocket.
L
31:23Louis RiddickGUEST
We showed some clips of that on, on TV just, you know, a couple days ago at ESPN, and it really does give you some Matthew Stafford/Patrick Mahomes vibes in terms of the way in which he can always get the ball off, even if the, even if he isn't on platform and it isn't ideal.
Hour 3 - Andrew Luck, Louis Riddick
33:09
33:24
Louis RiddickGUEST
I think Mike McDonald's one of the most analytical, even-keeled, level-headed guys in the NFL that you're blown away by, and their football team defensively is just ridiculous, but so is New England's.
Louis RiddickGUEST
Sam has a penchant for either being really good, or he can have one of those games where you're sitting there going, "Mm." Now, you know, you see why maybe N- you know, Minnesota has some reservations, although I think by and large, Minnesota still wishes that they had Sam Darnold.
Hour 1: Center of Attention
L
42:51Lewis RiddickGUEST
Well, first, let me just start by saying, look, I don't like using biggest winner and loser this early in the free agency process and in the team building process because there's so much time.
L
42:59Lewis RiddickGUEST
But I'll tell you what, if there's a team to me that continues to fall behind and continues to like thumb their nose at free agency as if they've got some much better formula for building football teams, although their record says that they don't, is really is Dallas.
L
43:12Lewis RiddickGUEST
Okay, this is the team that continues to really confuse me as far as how they really look at approaching free agency.
L
43:18Lewis RiddickGUEST
And look, I'm not one of those people who believes you should be out there in the first 48 hours trying to set the market at every single position when you're talking about, you know, diving into free agency and trying to augment your roster.
L
43:30Lewis RiddickGUEST
But when you think about the fact that Dallas on the defensive side of the ball in particular, I understand that Osa Digizua signs a new contract as a defensive tackle, a homegrown, you know Guy who was developed in their system, but they've got to continue to add people on that side of the football to, to really kinda improve an area that they have shown recently that they just have not been competent.
