Well, 56 00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:05,560 Speaker 3: well here we are, Yeah, here we are. It's uh, 57 00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:10,960 Speaker 3: we've had three straight day of practices going back to Saturday, 58 00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:15,400 Speaker 3: Sunday and Monday. Two of those in pads, a day 59 00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:18,840 Speaker 3: off now, two days in pads tomorrow, I mean today 60 00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:21,560 Speaker 3: and tomorrow, a day off on Friday, and then back 61 00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:26,000 Speaker 3: at it on Saturday. But in the meantime since we 62 00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:29,120 Speaker 3: last were here, there's been some news that has happened. 63 00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:35,280 Speaker 4: Well, we've had some injuries, right, that's right. I'm trying 64 00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:36,520 Speaker 4: to remember. 65 00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:40,000 Speaker 3: Two injuries within twenty four hours time were announced. Anyway, 66 00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:42,360 Speaker 3: at the end of let's let's start with Terry with 67 00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:46,400 Speaker 3: Tyler Guidon. Tyler Geydon and Terren Steele, by the way, 68 00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:48,160 Speaker 3: did return to practice on Monday. 69 00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:48,840 Speaker 2: It's ye. 70 00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:52,840 Speaker 3: Tyler Guidon at the end of practice on Monday, goes 71 00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:59,360 Speaker 3: down with an injury and a bone bruise, right knee sprain, knee. 72 00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:02,160 Speaker 3: Four to six weeks is the prognosis. 73 00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:07,000 Speaker 4: And that was the best news because when he was 74 00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:10,200 Speaker 4: helped off the field, Nate, and you know, when he 75 00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:13,440 Speaker 4: was down and all the guys were around him on 76 00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:16,400 Speaker 4: a knee, which is never a good sign. And then 77 00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:22,279 Speaker 4: doctor Cooper, the Cowboys orthopedic surgeon, walked off with them 78 00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:26,080 Speaker 4: and they didn't send any medical intern off with them. 79 00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:30,880 Speaker 4: They set the main guy and the word was it 80 00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:34,400 Speaker 4: looks bad. And then the MRI came back and it 81 00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:39,160 Speaker 4: ended up being a bone bruise, a fractured bone at 82 00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:42,840 Speaker 4: the kneecap, and it was almost a relief. You know 83 00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:46,320 Speaker 4: when you hear four to six. We haven't hit August yet, 84 00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:49,920 Speaker 4: so there's four weeks right there before the season ever starts. 85 00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:53,800 Speaker 4: So yeah, I think they they head faked one. 86 00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:57,160 Speaker 3: In fact, the season starts five weeks from tomorrow, five 87 00:04:57,200 --> 00:04:59,320 Speaker 3: weeks from I think I had figured out when I 88 00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:02,520 Speaker 3: was writing it was thirty six days. 89 00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:03,880 Speaker 2: Away. 90 00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:10,800 Speaker 4: So yeah, they got fortunate. And this is gonna give 91 00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:13,840 Speaker 4: opportunities some of those young guys, Nate, that you've been 92 00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:16,760 Speaker 4: wanting to see out there, Yes, to give them a chance. 93 00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:21,400 Speaker 5: Yes, And unlike many other training camps, they have, they're 94 00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:24,719 Speaker 5: too deep at each position. So you know, I spoke 95 00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:27,120 Speaker 5: to one of the personnel guys and say, hey, I 96 00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:29,360 Speaker 5: guess this is Austin Richards opportunity. 97 00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:34,200 Speaker 2: They say, no, it's Nate Thomas. Yes, opportunity around last 98 00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:35,760 Speaker 2: year one in camp. 99 00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:38,160 Speaker 5: They're gonna stick with their two man ross and if 100 00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:40,440 Speaker 5: a guy goes down, they have a guy that comes 101 00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:43,080 Speaker 5: in behind them because they say they want to make 102 00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:47,480 Speaker 5: sure this thing stays highly competitive and everybody gets a 103 00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:50,680 Speaker 5: true chance here early in camp to show what you 104 00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:54,320 Speaker 5: can do. So we'll be looking at Nate Thomas. But 105 00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:58,640 Speaker 5: that's number seventy one at left tackle and still Austin 106 00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:02,520 Speaker 5: Richards is your second team right tackle. So uh, but 107 00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:04,560 Speaker 5: what I want to say before we covered the other 108 00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:07,479 Speaker 5: injuries is it's very very unfortunate. 109 00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:11,320 Speaker 2: For got you. He uh needs training camp. 110 00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:14,160 Speaker 5: We have a new offensive line coach, we have basically 111 00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:18,640 Speaker 5: a new system being put in, new techniques, and once again, 112 00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:22,640 Speaker 5: this kid is gonna miss a whole training camp. And 113 00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:24,880 Speaker 5: when you are trying to when you're coming from behind 114 00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:25,720 Speaker 5: the eight ball and. 115 00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:29,400 Speaker 2: You've had soso uh year before. 116 00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:32,680 Speaker 5: Uh, now you're trying to regain confidence, you're trying to 117 00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:36,320 Speaker 5: regain your technique and your aggressiveness. 118 00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:38,719 Speaker 2: And and here we are. I feel bad for Tyler 119 00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:39,559 Speaker 2: guid Well. 120 00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:42,720 Speaker 4: You you brought up Nate Thomas, and I was talking 121 00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:46,560 Speaker 4: to someone, uh that should know about the offensive line 122 00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:50,359 Speaker 4: and told me that this kid is gonna be good. 123 00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:54,000 Speaker 4: They they're they're high on Nate Thomas. So we'll see 124 00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:55,640 Speaker 4: how that plays out. 125 00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:59,119 Speaker 3: The head coach brought him up unsolicited and his press 126 00:06:59,120 --> 00:06:59,800 Speaker 3: conferences in. 127 00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:04,479 Speaker 4: This Yeah, and you know, I think we all assume 128 00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:06,920 Speaker 4: that when they went to second team it was gonna 129 00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:09,880 Speaker 4: be awesome Riches there, yes, but it was not. It 130 00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:13,160 Speaker 4: was Nate Thomas. They're using Austin Richards at guard, they're 131 00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:18,000 Speaker 4: using them at right tackle. Uh, they're sort of moving him, 132 00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:21,240 Speaker 4: moving him around everywhere. 133 00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:27,520 Speaker 5: Nate Thomas, from what I understand, that is his position. 134 00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:29,960 Speaker 5: He's not They're not going to try to put him 135 00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:31,520 Speaker 5: at right tackle and they're not going to try to 136 00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:34,280 Speaker 5: put him at right guard. They want to see can 137 00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:37,800 Speaker 5: he get at one position and mature at that one 138 00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:40,880 Speaker 5: position and be the best he candidate left tackle? 139 00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:44,440 Speaker 4: And I thought I thought Clayton Adams said an interesting 140 00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:48,720 Speaker 4: thing about uh, Tyler Geyton when somebody asked how he 141 00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:53,680 Speaker 4: was doing whatever, and he says, I usually reserve judgment 142 00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:58,280 Speaker 4: on a player's kind of ability future until they get 143 00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:01,800 Speaker 4: twenty starts under their belt. Yes, and so I thought 144 00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:07,080 Speaker 4: that was that gave you an idea of not overreacting 145 00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:10,600 Speaker 4: to somebody that does not have a lot of experience, 146 00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:14,320 Speaker 4: not only in the NFL but in college playing left tackle. 147 00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:17,840 Speaker 4: So he put it at twenty starts. I think he 148 00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:21,760 Speaker 4: had fourteen last year, if I remember correctly. 149 00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:23,080 Speaker 6: And so. 150 00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:28,280 Speaker 4: The chance to talk to the coordinators I thought was interesting. Yesterday, 151 00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:30,560 Speaker 4: I thought we got a lot of good stuff out 152 00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:35,600 Speaker 4: of not only Clayton Adams, but also Matt Eberfluse. I 153 00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:37,880 Speaker 4: didn't get to listen to Sorens and we had some 154 00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:40,680 Speaker 4: TV stuff to do at that time, but I thought 155 00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:43,160 Speaker 4: those two guys were really good. Why do I hear 156 00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:45,199 Speaker 4: these booms? There's something like. 157 00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:52,240 Speaker 3: Mackey, you're what Bill Park what Bill Bars calls a 158 00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:53,320 Speaker 3: distractable player. 159 00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:56,520 Speaker 4: Now I'm adding color to our broadcast. Here. 160 00:08:57,800 --> 00:08:59,319 Speaker 2: You got all the color you need them here. 161 00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:07,559 Speaker 3: Oh you know Nate Thomas. Nate out of Louisiana, Okay, 162 00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:11,880 Speaker 3: which he used to be called Louisiana Lafayette. Yes, and 163 00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:16,160 Speaker 3: he was a starter at left tackle in his college career, 164 00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:19,360 Speaker 3: started twelve games his senior year, his junior year, started 165 00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:22,800 Speaker 3: thirteen games for the Rage Occasions. Last year being a 166 00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:25,080 Speaker 3: seventh round draft pick, of course he was here in 167 00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:28,360 Speaker 3: camp who was placed on IR with a knee injury 168 00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:31,839 Speaker 3: in late August last year, and so last year was 169 00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:34,840 Speaker 3: spent on IR. It was basically a red shirt year, 170 00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:37,760 Speaker 3: which was what they expected even coming in to the 171 00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:41,640 Speaker 3: year after drafted in that sixty five, three hundred and 172 00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:47,400 Speaker 3: thirty pounds is what he has listed.

So, uh, 181 00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:13,160 Speaker 5: let's give him opportunity to remind. 182 00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:16,120 Speaker 4: Me last year, did he get put on the practice 183 00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:19,360 Speaker 4: squad or did he get O I A I R. 184 00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:21,440 Speaker 4: I knew there was something that. 185 00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:24,760 Speaker 3: You're paying too much attention to the booms around here. 186 00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:28,160 Speaker 4: Yeah, he know, I'm trying to remember. 187 00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:32,520 Speaker 5: He uh, I think from you know, the little information 188 00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:35,640 Speaker 5: we got is they want they put him where they 189 00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:39,640 Speaker 5: needed for him to be.

You know, 194 00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:52,040 Speaker 5: they say he needed a little bit you know, weight 195 00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:54,280 Speaker 5: room work, he needed a little. 196 00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:56,640 Speaker 2: Maturity, and that year gave him that opportunity. 197 00:10:56,679 --> 00:11:00,240 Speaker 5: And they say, now, uh, he's he's leaps and bounds 198 00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:01,920 Speaker 5: a different guy than what he was. 199 00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:05,080 Speaker 3: As you know, any other offensive lineman in NFL history 200 00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:07,839 Speaker 3: named Nate who maybe needed that when they came out 201 00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:08,199 Speaker 3: of college. 202 00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:10,640 Speaker 5: Yeah, I needed it bad. I'm glad the USFL came. 203 00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:15,199 Speaker 5: I got some great help in the USFL. So yeah, 204 00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:17,920 Speaker 5: you know, sometime when you come from a smaller school, 205 00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:20,600 Speaker 5: you may have a body size and some of the 206 00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:23,199 Speaker 5: skill sets, but sometime you need that maturity to help 207 00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:23,760 Speaker 5: you alone. 208 00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:28,400 Speaker 3: And he will turn twenty four on August twenty second. 209 00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:29,680 Speaker 2: By the way, So. 210 00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:35,200 Speaker 3: The other injury that was announced at the beginning of 211 00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:40,920 Speaker 3: the day yesterday, Kayln Carson second year cornerback, fifth round 212 00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:44,760 Speaker 3: draft pick last year, started five games last year, also 213 00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:48,480 Speaker 3: out four to six weeks with a reportedly with a 214 00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:49,920 Speaker 3: hyper extended knee. 215 00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:57,959 Speaker 4: And that's unfortunate because he suffered that shoulder injury last year, 216 00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:01,040 Speaker 4: tried to play through it and was not the same 217 00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:04,400 Speaker 4: player that we saw out here in training camp that 218 00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:07,320 Speaker 4: earned him the start in the season opener. I believe 219 00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:11,880 Speaker 4: it was Uh. And so he had off season surgery 220 00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:14,880 Speaker 4: and now you know you get back here and then 221 00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:17,920 Speaker 4: right away with the hyper extended knees, so he's gonna 222 00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:24,320 Speaker 4: miss some time and that that cornerback positions getting pretty thin. 223 00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:29,680 Speaker 3: It's now four cornerbacks who are dealing with knee injuries. 224 00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:35,160 Speaker 3: When you look at savone Revel, your two guys Trayvon Diggs, 225 00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:39,240 Speaker 3: UH and Josh Butler coming off in a cl and 226 00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:44,280 Speaker 3: now you add Kayln Carson. So those are four cornerbacks 227 00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:48,440 Speaker 3: who well for sure three of the four were are 228 00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:53,720 Speaker 3: for sure we're gonna make regulars. And Josh Butler had 229 00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:55,600 Speaker 3: a real good chance as well, the way he played like. 230 00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:58,040 Speaker 4: They were gonna be healthy, they were gonna be top 231 00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:05,959 Speaker 4: top four UH corners in the rotation. Revel, my understanding 232 00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:08,800 Speaker 4: is that. I was talking to him and he said, 233 00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:13,960 Speaker 4: he's doing better, but he's got to now get confidence. 234 00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:18,079 Speaker 4: And we always forget this. So when they repair your ACL, 235 00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:21,760 Speaker 4: they take a portion of your Patel attendant in your 236 00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:25,640 Speaker 4: good knee and that's what they build to reconstruct the 237 00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:31,120 Speaker 4: ACL with. And he said that he's still having to 238 00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:34,400 Speaker 4: concentrate rehabbing the good knee where they took the Patel 239 00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:40,720 Speaker 4: attendant out, so that's gonna take some time. And then Digs. 240 00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:45,120 Speaker 4: While he seems to be moving well, they got to 241 00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:47,840 Speaker 4: get his conditioning up. And I can see when he's 242 00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:53,600 Speaker 4: doing those the resistance cord things with britt Brown that 243 00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:57,120 Speaker 4: he gets to a point and he's got to take 244 00:13:57,160 --> 00:14:00,720 Speaker 4: a knee. He's out of breath. So while he was 245 00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:05,839 Speaker 4: rehabbing away from the place, and maybe you're rehabbing from 246 00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:10,520 Speaker 4: the surgery, you also got to increase your conditioning. And 247 00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:13,360 Speaker 4: so that's one thing. And they've only had him for 248 00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:17,200 Speaker 4: a week think about it to to work with them, 249 00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:21,640 Speaker 4: and got a late start with Revel because he was 250 00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:24,880 Speaker 4: in college then, so they didn't get him until after 251 00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:28,880 Speaker 4: the draft. Uh so, uh, those two guys still have 252 00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:32,200 Speaker 4: some work to do before they're gonna be put in pads. 253 00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:35,600 Speaker 4: I asked, you'll like this, Nate. I asked Revel and 254 00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:38,600 Speaker 4: I said when when you think you're gonna be ready? 255 00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:42,720 Speaker 4: And he said whenever Britt tells me. I said, okay, 256 00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:43,880 Speaker 4: that's a good barometer. 257 00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:44,520 Speaker 2: You know. 258 00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:51,240 Speaker 5: None of these coners, besides you know Diggs, you don't 259 00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:56,040 Speaker 5: know a lot about this training camp is huge, new offensive, 260 00:14:56,600 --> 00:15:01,880 Speaker 5: new defensive coordinator, new defensive bat so, new system. 261 00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:06,800 Speaker 2: So this is this is big. They gonna they're gonna 262 00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:07,920 Speaker 2: have to hit the ground running. 263 00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:13,920 Speaker 5: Once the Brown, the trainer releases them to come to practice. 264 00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:15,440 Speaker 5: They got to hit the ground running. 265 00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:19,920 Speaker 2: This this is this is kind of unique. 266 00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:22,120 Speaker 4: And you gotta be careful because the thing that I 267 00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:25,560 Speaker 4: always know about these trainers is once they release them, 268 00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:27,760 Speaker 4: they don't want them back. We want to make sure 269 00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:31,720 Speaker 4: they're good to go and they don't have any any 270 00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:35,320 Speaker 4: regression there. And as Bill said, with the number of 271 00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:41,480 Speaker 4: corners dealing with injuries, they ended up signing Christian Matthew 272 00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:46,960 Speaker 4: Corner that Iberflus had with the Bears. I think to 273 00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:47,720 Speaker 4: two years ago. 274 00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:49,680 Speaker 3: He was on the practice squad with the Bears. Two 275 00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:52,960 Speaker 3: years ago he was the Ravens. Last year he was 276 00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:56,360 Speaker 3: drafted in the seventh round by Arizona in twenty twenty 277 00:15:56,600 --> 00:16:00,000 Speaker 3: two and actually got into some games his rookie year 278 00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:06,920 Speaker 3: there before he was signed away by the Bears. 279 00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:10,440 Speaker 4: So more than anything, they just needed bodies at cornerback. 280 00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:15,040 Speaker 3: Interesting on him. He was in college for seven years. 281 00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:19,680 Speaker 3: What it started at Georgia's Southern in like twenty six, 282 00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:26,800 Speaker 3: twenty fifteen, Georgia's Southern transferred to Samford, transferred to Valdosta State. 283 00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:31,800 Speaker 3: And when twenty twenty two was a seventh round draft pick, 284 00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:35,000 Speaker 3: he's twenty eight year he'll be twenty nine during this season, 285 00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:36,920 Speaker 3: so he's not a young pup come out of here 286 00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:37,760 Speaker 3: at cornerback. 287 00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:41,480 Speaker 4: So they just need bodies at those positions. 288 00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:42,880 Speaker 2: You know. 289 00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:48,560 Speaker 4: One injury that kind of got pushed into the background because. 290 00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:53,840 Speaker 3: Of what happened with Rob Jones and Guyiden and Carson 291 00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:55,000 Speaker 3: is Brevin span. 292 00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:58,560 Speaker 4: Fourth, Yes, exactly, that's the guy. It's like, remember he 293 00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:00,640 Speaker 4: walked off during the scrimmage. 294 00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:03,360 Speaker 3: So we went so we went the first four ramp 295 00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:08,920 Speaker 3: up practices with no injury issues, and they practiced two 296 00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:12,000 Speaker 3: days in pads and all of a sudden, we count 297 00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:13,160 Speaker 3: four right there, no. 298 00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:16,200 Speaker 4: More padded practices we're not playing. 299 00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:18,000 Speaker 3: Football, and even a guy like well, let's go is 300 00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:21,960 Speaker 3: not practicing right on Monday either, and neither is one 301 00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:25,480 Speaker 3: and one yea Thomas has been out and so all 302 00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:26,400 Speaker 3: of a sudden. 303 00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:30,959 Speaker 4: And that's a shame because span Ford was really starting 304 00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:31,520 Speaker 4: to show. 305 00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:32,960 Speaker 3: That and you're saying high ankle sprain on it. 306 00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:38,360 Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, So we'll see how how that one goes. Yeah, 307 00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:41,360 Speaker 4: there was a lot of things that overshadowed his injury, 308 00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:46,520 Speaker 4: including Jake Ferguson signing his signing his expension. 309 00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:49,280 Speaker 3: Right when we come back, you want to dive into 310 00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:52,040 Speaker 3: what some of them, what the coordinator said yesterday. 311 00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:53,159 Speaker 4: Okay, we'll do that. 312 00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:55,320 Speaker 3: In the meantime, during this break, I'm gonna go get 313 00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:59,199 Speaker 3: some sunscreen because that sun is beating down here in 314 00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:02,320 Speaker 3: ox Nar to California.

What 360 00:20:56,080 --> 00:21:00,359 Speaker 3: made me think, though, is about it is? You know, 361 00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:02,800 Speaker 3: we got fans out here in the parking lot there. 362 00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:05,280 Speaker 3: They line up in their cars every day.

And now then they line they 365 00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:14,520 Speaker 3: open the parking lot up and then those fans are 366 00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:17,399 Speaker 3: able to stand at the gate over there by the 367 00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:20,399 Speaker 3: big stage he likes to perform on so much.

They do have a DJ out there. 377 00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:53,080 Speaker 2: But he's DJ black Beard. It used to be DJ 378 00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:58,680 Speaker 2: Sexual Chocolate. He's DJ black Beard, all right. 379 00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:01,560 Speaker 3: It was a day off on the practice field anyway 380 00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:05,480 Speaker 3: for the players, but it's never a day off for 381 00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:08,520 Speaker 3: us in the media out here at Cowboys camp, right 382 00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:12,280 Speaker 3: and yesterday the coordinators were made available to us. They 383 00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:17,200 Speaker 3: all were at the podium individually and starting with Matt Eberflus, 384 00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:20,600 Speaker 3: the defensive coordinator, Clayton Adams, the offensive coordinator, and then 385 00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:24,000 Speaker 3: Nick Sorensen, the special teams coordinator who Mickey decided he 386 00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:25,480 Speaker 3: didn't need to go listen. 387 00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:28,600 Speaker 4: To now as my other bosses decided. 388 00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:33,000 Speaker 3: I didn't, Right, So it's great having Ebraflus back. 389 00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:39,200 Speaker 4: Yes, absolutely. And the thing that he said that caught 390 00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:43,840 Speaker 4: my attention when he was asked about the key to 391 00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:49,040 Speaker 4: run defense and he said, teamwork, teamwork, And he brought 392 00:22:49,119 --> 00:22:54,800 Speaker 4: up a little quote from Roden Marinelli, the Cowboys former 393 00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:58,760 Speaker 4: defensive coordinator who he worked for as the linebackers coach 394 00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:01,919 Speaker 4: when he was here the first time around. Uh, and 395 00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:07,119 Speaker 4: he said Marinelli used to say there's no guests on defense, 396 00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:12,359 Speaker 4: meaning he wants no house, no house gifts and uh, 397 00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:16,520 Speaker 4: he wants everybody contributing. And he said to have a 398 00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:21,520 Speaker 4: good defense, the cornerbacks have to tackle, and so you know, 399 00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:26,960 Speaker 4: everybody looks at the defensive tackles that that's their responsibility 400 00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:29,960 Speaker 4: to stop the run. But his point was we need 401 00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:34,840 Speaker 4: all eleven guys playing to stop the run. And he 402 00:23:35,040 --> 00:23:36,320 Speaker 4: was talking about you. 403 00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:41,040 Speaker 3: Know usures too, Yeah, rather than your ears back to 404 00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:42,440 Speaker 3: go after the quarterback. 405 00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:43,800 Speaker 4: All the time and trying to make a play of 406 00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:48,199 Speaker 4: the contract to the quarterback. Yeah, And he was talking 407 00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:52,240 Speaker 4: about uh, you know his or somebody brought up his 408 00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:56,280 Speaker 4: history of stopping the run, right, And so I went 409 00:23:56,359 --> 00:24:00,080 Speaker 4: back and looked the last two times the Cowboys have 410 00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:05,359 Speaker 4: have losing seasons, so twenty twenty and last year twenty 411 00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:09,600 Speaker 4: twenty four, they finished thirty first and twenty ninth against 412 00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:12,080 Speaker 4: the run. Now, I don't know if that's just a 413 00:24:12,119 --> 00:24:15,960 Speaker 4: coincidence or if it's foreboding that you better be able 414 00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:18,359 Speaker 4: to play the run if you're going to have a winning. 415 00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:23,040 Speaker 5: Record, especially with the division that you're playing in, with 416 00:24:23,119 --> 00:24:25,800 Speaker 5: the running backs and quarterbacks that had the ability to 417 00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:30,840 Speaker 5: move and run, you have to you have to be dominant. 418 00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:33,320 Speaker 2: You can't be average. Not in the NFC East. 419 00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:35,920 Speaker 5: You're gonna have to be dominant in stopping to run 420 00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:38,480 Speaker 5: if you want to be in any of these games. 421 00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:41,520 Speaker 2: That we play. And even New York. 422 00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:45,000 Speaker 5: With their quarterback, they still gonna have to run the ball. 423 00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:51,119 Speaker 5: So you're facing your toughest competition right within the East. 424 00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:56,480 Speaker 5: I mean, so it better be a team, a team 425 00:24:57,000 --> 00:25:01,080 Speaker 5: a team concept, or a team goal to stop the 426 00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:02,800 Speaker 5: NFC East from running against you. 427 00:25:02,920 --> 00:25:06,359 Speaker 4: The most you listened to, didn't you? 428 00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:06,680 Speaker 2: Yes? 429 00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:10,880 Speaker 4: What what stood out to you? 430 00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:13,600 Speaker 3: Maybe being the president of the Shawn Lee Fan Club. 431 00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:18,880 Speaker 3: He talked about Sean Lee, you know him. I always 432 00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:22,160 Speaker 3: my ears perk up when he talks about linebackers because 433 00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:25,639 Speaker 3: he's a linebacker guru of sorts. And so I'm also 434 00:25:25,720 --> 00:25:29,520 Speaker 3: intrigued about what's going to happen in this linebacking group. 435 00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:33,159 Speaker 3: You know, fifty seven Jack Sanborn, who played for him 436 00:25:33,760 --> 00:25:36,080 Speaker 3: in Chicago, has been lining up with the ones at 437 00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:38,880 Speaker 3: middle linebacker. You know, Kenneth Murray was alongside him when 438 00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:41,760 Speaker 3: Murray was back. I assume Murray maybe back today. I 439 00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:44,800 Speaker 3: haven't heard. I haven't either, but he was left for 440 00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:49,920 Speaker 3: the birth of this child, and and then with marus 441 00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:57,880 Speaker 3: Leah Fowl and even de Mont Clark. Yes, that's right. 442 00:25:57,960 --> 00:26:01,480 Speaker 3: I think he's just done him some good. 443 00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:05,399 Speaker 4: Murray was absent, right, And I think the thing that 444 00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:09,320 Speaker 4: he said, and he used Sean Lee as the examples 445 00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:13,400 Speaker 4: that you don't have to be this big, hulking linebacker. 446 00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:16,440 Speaker 4: You've got to be smart and be able to move. 447 00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:20,040 Speaker 4: And I think that's what he sees in uh Sanborn, 448 00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:24,919 Speaker 4: who looks like he's he's more of a cerebral middle 449 00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:26,560 Speaker 4: linebacker than anything else. 450 00:26:26,720 --> 00:26:30,040 Speaker 3: And and the other thing was him talking about his 451 00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:33,560 Speaker 3: the play style of his defense, right, he said, it's 452 00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:37,600 Speaker 3: not for everybody. And when you know, he gets hired 453 00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:42,359 Speaker 3: here in January, which and there were this was a 454 00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:45,080 Speaker 3: team that had a lot of holes to fill, and 455 00:26:45,160 --> 00:26:50,720 Speaker 3: so he was able to study whether it's linebackers, corners, 456 00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:54,600 Speaker 3: defensive lineman, whatever it might be that fit his system, 457 00:26:54,920 --> 00:26:58,520 Speaker 3: which is a running, aggressive style of defense. You better 458 00:26:58,520 --> 00:27:00,960 Speaker 3: be in shape, and you better be you better love 459 00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:03,920 Speaker 3: to run, because we're going to run. And he said, 460 00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:06,440 Speaker 3: that's not for everybody. And if we figure out that 461 00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:07,959 Speaker 3: it's not for you, then you're not gonna be here 462 00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:08,480 Speaker 3: very long. 463 00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:14,480 Speaker 5: You know, when is the last time we had a 464 00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:18,040 Speaker 5: coaching staff And this may not come out right, but 465 00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:20,560 Speaker 5: when is the last time we had a coaching staff. 466 00:27:20,359 --> 00:27:23,960 Speaker 2: That is saying all the right things? But when it. 467 00:27:23,920 --> 00:27:30,240 Speaker 5: Comes time for player personnel moves? Will ownership allow you 468 00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:30,880 Speaker 5: to make these? 469 00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:34,640 Speaker 3: Does the player of personnel moves match up with what 470 00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:37,720 Speaker 3: coaches want to coach? You know? I think the key 471 00:27:37,760 --> 00:27:41,040 Speaker 3: on that is you have to have a coaching staff 472 00:27:41,520 --> 00:27:44,840 Speaker 3: that communicates well with the scouting department. 473 00:27:44,960 --> 00:27:45,360 Speaker 2: Yes. 474 00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:49,440 Speaker 3: I think one of the greatest strengths that Schottenheimer has 475 00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:55,200 Speaker 3: is obvious is communication ability and his willingness and not 476 00:27:55,280 --> 00:27:58,800 Speaker 3: just willingness, but he goes over the top in connecting 477 00:27:58,880 --> 00:28:01,320 Speaker 3: with the scouts. I mean, he got that job and 478 00:28:01,359 --> 00:28:04,320 Speaker 3: he hits the ground running, not only connecting with the 479 00:28:04,359 --> 00:28:07,520 Speaker 3: coaches that he's hired, but getting them on the same 480 00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:10,840 Speaker 3: page with the scouts during the whole draft process. He 481 00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:15,320 Speaker 3: takes the entire coaching staff to the scouting combine in Indianapolis. 482 00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:17,360 Speaker 3: You have part of that is getting to know each 483 00:28:17,359 --> 00:28:20,359 Speaker 3: other and bonding and getting work done during downtime there, 484 00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:25,600 Speaker 3: but they're also invested in the draft process. Schottenheimer goes 485 00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:28,879 Speaker 3: to He went to I think Ohio State, Texas A 486 00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:32,600 Speaker 3: and m Ole Miss scouting players. Ibra Flus went to 487 00:28:32,800 --> 00:28:35,360 Speaker 3: a couple of those places where they got defensive players. 488 00:28:35,760 --> 00:28:38,600 Speaker 3: And so that is the and that's one of the 489 00:28:38,600 --> 00:28:43,160 Speaker 3: biggest misnomers about Jerry is that Jerry does his own thing. Now, 490 00:28:43,480 --> 00:28:45,880 Speaker 3: Jerry listens to what the coaches said, and you have 491 00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:49,040 Speaker 3: to have a head coach and a coaching staff that 492 00:28:49,240 --> 00:28:52,120 Speaker 3: understand that's the way it's set up here. You have 493 00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:56,680 Speaker 3: the opportunity to go get your players and you can 494 00:28:56,800 --> 00:28:58,280 Speaker 3: influence the decision makers. 495 00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:01,640 Speaker 2: And like I said earlier, two players. 496 00:29:01,280 --> 00:29:06,400 Speaker 5: Per position, creating competition. And we've seen where the next 497 00:29:06,440 --> 00:29:10,600 Speaker 5: guy has stepped up early in this training camp. But 498 00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:14,280 Speaker 5: when the season start, will you have that same mentality. 499 00:29:14,760 --> 00:29:19,520 Speaker 5: What if, let's say, if a non drafted guy actually 500 00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:25,360 Speaker 5: on paper on film in the scrimmages in the preseason 501 00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:30,240 Speaker 5: out play the drafted guy, will you have the authority 502 00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:34,800 Speaker 5: to say, Hey, Mick beat out Nate. We should think, Hey, 503 00:29:34,920 --> 00:29:38,200 Speaker 5: I think our team is better with with Mick, were 504 00:29:38,200 --> 00:29:42,880 Speaker 5: gonna cowboy where we drafted him. You know, that's what 505 00:29:42,960 --> 00:29:46,000 Speaker 5: I want to see, bro, because a lot of times 506 00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:49,080 Speaker 5: your draft picks get out played or they're not mature 507 00:29:49,200 --> 00:29:50,240 Speaker 5: enough at this time. 508 00:29:50,800 --> 00:29:54,720 Speaker 2: Like Nate Thomas. What if he what if he shines 509 00:29:54,800 --> 00:29:58,000 Speaker 2: my brother? What if what if he shines that left tackle? 510 00:29:58,200 --> 00:30:01,320 Speaker 2: What if he is well during the preseas? What if 511 00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:04,160 Speaker 2: he gets with these rams? What if it happens. 512 00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:05,560 Speaker 3: It's happened before. 513 00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:07,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I've. 514 00:30:07,320 --> 00:30:09,600 Speaker 5: Seen it happen with Jimmy. I've seen that happen with 515 00:30:10,960 --> 00:30:13,640 Speaker 5: a few coaches around the league. But it ain't always happening. 516 00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:16,040 Speaker 3: But it happened at right tackle.

All right. 802 00:45:24,640 --> 00:45:28,480 Speaker 3: One thing that Clayton Adams did talk about was the 803 00:45:28,600 --> 00:45:32,520 Speaker 3: running back room I really like our running back group. 804 00:45:32,800 --> 00:45:33,680 Speaker 4: That stood out to me. 805 00:45:33,800 --> 00:45:34,160 Speaker 2: Also. 806 00:45:34,360 --> 00:45:38,360 Speaker 5: Yeah, And I want to apologize because I've been so 807 00:45:38,480 --> 00:45:41,839 Speaker 5: engrossed in the offensive line and watching the receivers. I 808 00:45:41,880 --> 00:45:45,319 Speaker 5: haven't even watched the running backs. That's that's bad on 809 00:45:45,400 --> 00:45:48,920 Speaker 5: my part. But I want to see what the receiver's 810 00:45:48,920 --> 00:45:51,080 Speaker 5: gonna do. Who's that third or fourth guy gonna be? 811 00:45:51,200 --> 00:45:53,839 Speaker 5: And I want to see what the offensive line gonna 812 00:45:53,880 --> 00:45:57,520 Speaker 5: do and the running backs will. If you, if we 813 00:45:57,560 --> 00:45:59,680 Speaker 5: get a running back that can help the offensive line 814 00:45:59,719 --> 00:46:02,000 Speaker 5: be better, then I may start looking at him. 815 00:46:02,000 --> 00:46:03,959 Speaker 2: But I think it's the other way around. Right now. 816 00:46:04,120 --> 00:46:05,600 Speaker 2: I think offs and line gonna have to make the 817 00:46:05,680 --> 00:46:06,520 Speaker 2: running backs better. 818 00:46:07,520 --> 00:46:13,000 Speaker 4: I think I didn't know much about Javonte Williams and uh, 819 00:46:13,360 --> 00:46:17,560 Speaker 4: I've been kind of impressed with him on how he's 820 00:46:17,640 --> 00:46:21,440 Speaker 4: able to hit the hole and then cut, not start 821 00:46:21,920 --> 00:46:24,080 Speaker 4: cutting before he gets to the hole. He puts his 822 00:46:24,120 --> 00:46:27,960 Speaker 4: foot in the ground and goes Uh. So I've noticed 823 00:46:28,000 --> 00:46:30,640 Speaker 4: that Miles Sanders hasn't lost a step. 824 00:46:31,120 --> 00:46:34,080 Speaker 2: Oh, no he hasn't. Right, No, he hasn't. 825 00:46:34,120 --> 00:46:37,000 Speaker 5: I've seen him breaking opening and I see some DVS 826 00:46:37,040 --> 00:46:38,480 Speaker 5: thought they was gonna come get him. 827 00:46:38,680 --> 00:46:39,359 Speaker 2: It didn't work. 828 00:46:39,520 --> 00:46:40,279 Speaker 4: Blows right by. 829 00:46:40,480 --> 00:46:42,400 Speaker 5: Yeah, it didn't work. I'm like, whoa who was that? 830 00:46:42,480 --> 00:46:44,520 Speaker 5: I thought it was a young blue and with him. 831 00:46:44,680 --> 00:46:47,840 Speaker 4: Yeah, and that guy can run also, and he looks 832 00:46:47,840 --> 00:46:51,640 Speaker 4: to be getting more comfortable, especially in the in the 833 00:46:51,680 --> 00:46:55,120 Speaker 4: pass in the passing game. So I think we got 834 00:46:55,120 --> 00:46:56,319 Speaker 4: to see this thing play out. 835 00:46:56,400 --> 00:46:56,719 Speaker 2: All right. 836 00:46:57,040 --> 00:46:59,239 Speaker 3: Out of time, we got the Dak car wash for 837 00:46:59,440 --> 00:47:02,520 Speaker 3: the local TV people today.
