18
00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:05,600
Speaker 6: So let's start getting a little more interesting rather than

19
00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:08,720
Speaker 6: just kind of being Groundhog's day around here in Oxnard.

20

Speaker 6: com Ford slash O led Evo.

24
00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:19,880
Speaker 4: All right, here's we're gonna do today.

25
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:23,640
Speaker 6: We're going to first start with some transactions at the

26
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:25,920
Speaker 6: Cowboys made and right on, que we got our guys

27
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:27,680
Speaker 6: out here making sure.

28
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:29,880
Speaker 3: And make you're gonna park it right there.

29
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:33,440
Speaker 6: They are making sure that these players have a good

30
00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:36,120
Speaker 6: field yes to be able to practice. I had someone

31
00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:38,320
Speaker 6: on Twitter asked me, you know, why are you gonna

32
00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:39,000
Speaker 6: tell them to stop it?

33
00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:42,160
Speaker 4: I'm like, yeah, man, we are not the priority. Podcast

34
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:43,039
Speaker 4: is not the priority.

35
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:45,320
Speaker 6: Having these guys on a field where we don't have

36
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:47,720
Speaker 6: a CLS getting busted every day is the priority.

37
00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:49,960
Speaker 4: So do what you need to do. We'll figure it out,

38
00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:52,000
Speaker 4: all right. But here's what we're gonna talk about. Some

39
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:54,720
Speaker 4: transactions today the Cowboys made.

40
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:57,440
Speaker 6: We'll get into some practice observations, some things you guys

41
00:01:57,480 --> 00:01:59,880
Speaker 6: have seen over the last couple of practices, and then

42
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:00,720
Speaker 6: we'll talk a little bit.

43
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:01,720
Speaker 4: About a couple different things.

44
00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:03,640
Speaker 6: I have a couple different topics, one of them being

45
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:05,920
Speaker 6: the safety position. I think as one position we have

46
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:08,440
Speaker 6: not spent a lot of time talking about. So I

47
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:10,480
Speaker 6: want to dive into that a little bit at some

48
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:11,760
Speaker 6: point in today's show.

49
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:13,480
Speaker 4: Let's start with transactions.

50
00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:17,360
Speaker 6: Yesterday Cowboys signed three players and they move Ceedee Lamb

51
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:21,519
Speaker 6: to revert reserved did not report my assumption.

52
00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:22,679
Speaker 4: Is that was more of just a move.

53
00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 6: You needed a roster spot, you make the move not

54
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:27,200
Speaker 6: necessarily indicative of anything going on with contract.

55
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:28,320
Speaker 4: Is that how you guys read it?

56
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:29,359
Speaker 7: Yeah, I see it that way.

57
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:31,480
Speaker 8: I mean it could if they felt like a CD

58
00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:33,440
Speaker 8: Lamb deal could get done by the end of the week,

59
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:35,280
Speaker 8: then maybe they don't make that kind of move. But

60
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:37,280
Speaker 8: this is starting to trend more towards a thing that

61
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:39,240
Speaker 8: I feel like happens by the end of camp. And

62
00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:41,200
Speaker 8: if that's the case, and that's one extra body that

63
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:43,520
Speaker 8: they could have here at training camp, and so that's

64
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:45,400
Speaker 8: what they do. They wanted to bring in three guys

65
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:47,600
Speaker 8: on the defensive side of the ball. They were able

66
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:49,720
Speaker 8: to do that yesterday by moving Lamb, so that did

67
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:51,880
Speaker 8: not report lists. I mean, if you think about it,

68
00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:53,360
Speaker 8: this is something they could have done maybe at the

69
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:55,560
Speaker 8: beginning of camp, but you know, with the way the

70
00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:57,880
Speaker 8: negotiations are going on, it seems that the team is

71
00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:00,600
Speaker 8: comfortable pushing that out and maybe if he doesn't return

72
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:03,240
Speaker 8: until the camp is over, then they're okay with doing that.

73
00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:07,880
Speaker 9: I'm sorry to get antsy, because yes, this move doesn't

74
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:10,400
Speaker 9: mean anything in the sense of like, yeah, and if

75
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:12,560
Speaker 9: he was just signed today or whatever, they'll bring him

76
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:14,920
Speaker 9: in and they're gonna make a spot for him and

77
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:18,320
Speaker 9: room from him, obviously, But at the same time, it's like, oh, okay, well,

78
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:21,320
Speaker 9: I guess it's not happening today or maybe not tomorrow,

79
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:24,120
Speaker 9: or maybe not this weekend because you do need the bodies.

80
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:27,799
Speaker 9: But it's uh, we thought it was gonna happen last week,

81
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:31,560
Speaker 9: I felt like, and it's still. People keep asking on

82
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:35,680
Speaker 9: on Twitter and everything. I haven't heard anything. I don't

83
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:38,680
Speaker 9: think you guys have unless y'all did last night at

84
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:39,280
Speaker 9: the party.

85
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:40,480
Speaker 7: I don't know what I'm talking about.

86
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:43,320
Speaker 10: It's up school, the insights.

87
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:50,280
Speaker 9: Come on, bring but the fans one on the show, Brian,

88
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:51,200
Speaker 9: have you heard anything?

89
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:54,200
Speaker 3: I'm with this. I was at the party last night.

90
00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:55,640
Speaker 3: I'll tell you this.

91
00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:58,320
Speaker 11: When you start needing to worry is when it turns

92
00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:01,720
Speaker 11: into game checks because the way the rules fall down,

93
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:04,360
Speaker 11: you know, if you look at what Lamb makes, he

94
00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:07,040
Speaker 11: could lose a million dollars a game, and so all

95
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:09,760
Speaker 11: of a sudden, now you start missing games. Right now,

96
00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:12,880
Speaker 11: you're in that phase where you're you know you're getting fined,

97
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:15,360
Speaker 11: but they can all rescind the fines. We talked about

98
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:18,359
Speaker 11: that a bunch, so I think they're working through things

99
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:22,719
Speaker 11: right now. I to me, it's more about, like, you

100
00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:25,200
Speaker 11: have an idea what the numbers are going to be

101
00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:29,720
Speaker 11: with the parameters, where are they going to fall? How

102
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:32,640
Speaker 11: close can you get him to the top receiver? You

103
00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:36,159
Speaker 11: know obviously the cowboys, you know, they don't want to

104
00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:39,560
Speaker 11: reset the market. That's something I've always found with Steven

105
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:42,560
Speaker 11: Jones and Adam Pacific and those guys. If you come

106
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:45,680
Speaker 11: in at or under, they seem to work those numbers

107
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:49,239
Speaker 11: a little bit better and it makes them feel better

108
00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:52,120
Speaker 11: about what they're doing here. So but when you start

109
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:56,880
Speaker 11: missing games, that's when it becomes I think, very very

110
00:04:56,920 --> 00:04:57,520
Speaker 11: serious here.

111
00:04:57,800 --> 00:04:58,440
Speaker 3: So we'll see if that.

112
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:02,360
Speaker 11: I don't think they're gonna get that point, but pack,

113
00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:05,080
Speaker 11: you know, this thing has kind of gone on a

114
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:07,000
Speaker 11: little bit longer than I thought it would myself.

115
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:12,359
Speaker 6: Yeah, I get the suspicion that it's not necessarily the number.

116
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:13,599
Speaker 4: And when I say the number, the.

117
00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:15,680
Speaker 6: Average that he makes for you, I don't think that's

118
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:19,400
Speaker 6: really probably what's driving or slowing this thing down.

119
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:21,560
Speaker 4: The fact of the matter is, when you're talking about

120
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:22,120
Speaker 4: a deal like this.

121
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:24,840
Speaker 6: There's a lot of other factors of how you structure

122
00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:27,520
Speaker 6: the deal that will affect cash flow, that will affect

123
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:29,760
Speaker 6: how the Cowboys pay it out, that will affect how

124
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:32,120
Speaker 6: it will hit the salary cap over the next several years.

125
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:34,880
Speaker 6: I suspect that that's probably more what holds this up

126
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:37,320
Speaker 6: because I think everybody sees the writing on the wall, right,

127
00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:40,359
Speaker 6: you know what the numbers probably are, just because you

128
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:43,200
Speaker 6: know where he slots relative to other receivers around the NFL.

129
00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:45,680
Speaker 6: So I don't you know, it's one of those things

130
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:47,160
Speaker 6: like that's the hard part of this is when you

131
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:49,920
Speaker 6: start getting into the details and making sure all that

132
00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:52,599
Speaker 6: can work not only for CD but also for the

133
00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:54,560
Speaker 6: Cowboys and what they have to do with Dak, what

134
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:57,800
Speaker 6: they got to do with maybe Micah or presumably Micah

135
00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:00,560
Speaker 6: and everybody else that's coming up the next couple of

136
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:01,840
Speaker 6: years when it comes to new deals.

137
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:05,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, this is a the heat to me.

138
00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:09,000
Speaker 11: When you look at Lamb and people always say, when

139
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:11,360
Speaker 11: you give a guy a contract, are you expecting what

140
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:12,480
Speaker 11: do you expect?

141
00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:14,479
Speaker 3: He's gotten better every year? Yeah?

142
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:17,800
Speaker 11: Yes, so you when you start to look at the

143
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:21,719
Speaker 11: players around the league at wide receiver, he fits in

144
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:24,160
Speaker 11: with those guys. When you start to talk about the

145
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:26,839
Speaker 11: best receivers. He is one of those guys, and he's

146
00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:31,000
Speaker 11: gotten better every single year he plays. And you're as

147
00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:34,040
Speaker 11: a front officer thinking, if you give a guy a contract,

148
00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:36,560
Speaker 11: you don't want it to be two years in and

149
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:38,520
Speaker 11: then all of a sudden we're eating dead money at

150
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:42,080
Speaker 11: the end of it. You want a guy that's making

151
00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:45,400
Speaker 11: you know, is every year it's going you know, okay, hey, yes,

152
00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:48,600
Speaker 11: he's earning this, he's earning this, and Ceedee Lamb.

153
00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:50,560
Speaker 3: To me, is that type of guy. You know he is.

154
00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:53,200
Speaker 11: He is that guy that if you watch him play,

155
00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:56,640
Speaker 11: he has gotten better. Now there's people out there and say, well, wait, broadus,

156
00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:58,080
Speaker 11: what happened in the playoff games?

157
00:06:58,120 --> 00:06:58,960
Speaker 3: What are we doing? You know?

158
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:02,000
Speaker 11: I mean there's a lot of things in the playoffs

159
00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:03,520
Speaker 11: you can talk about this football team.

160
00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:04,640
Speaker 3: It's just not Ceedy Lamb.

161
00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:07,160
Speaker 11: But to me, if I'm looking at the front office

162
00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:10,200
Speaker 11: aspect of it, I'm looking at it as like, hey, guys,

163
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:12,600
Speaker 11: I it doesn't take.

164
00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:13,400
Speaker 3: Long to call the role.

165
00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:17,920
Speaker 11: He's in a room where he's very comparable to guys

166
00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:19,320
Speaker 11: playing at a very very high level.

167
00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:21,800
Speaker 10: Yeah you know what drives me nuts? Oh? Sorry, what

168
00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:23,600
Speaker 10: you I was gonna say just real quick.

169
00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:26,720
Speaker 9: What drives me nuts is and again I don't work

170
00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:29,840
Speaker 9: in that in that room, like I don't deal with contracts,

171
00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:33,640
Speaker 9: so I understand that it can be very, very complex.

172
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:37,200
Speaker 9: But at the same time, you know this was expected.

173
00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:41,480
Speaker 9: You know Dak's contract coming up, CDs MIC's coming up next,

174
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:44,440
Speaker 9: You know kind of what those numbers are gonna look like.

175
00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:46,520
Speaker 9: Sure you were waiting to see what other players we're

176
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:48,800
Speaker 9: gonna get, but you get it. You have an idea.

177
00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:52,960
Speaker 9: So it drives me crazy knowing what they did not

178
00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:56,520
Speaker 9: do during the off season because of cap money and

179
00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:58,960
Speaker 9: they were unable to do. And then we're sitting here

180
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:02,240
Speaker 9: at this point where it is getting closer and closer

181
00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:06,640
Speaker 9: to the season, and I understand how valuable and obviously

182
00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:08,920
Speaker 9: they do too, how valuable it is to have CD

183
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:11,800
Speaker 9: out here. We know it's gonna take up a ramp

184
00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:14,360
Speaker 9: up period, Nick, you talked about it the other day.

185
00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:17,320
Speaker 9: We know that what that's gonna look like, but we

186
00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:21,880
Speaker 9: also know how that can hurt the team as far

187
00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:24,480
Speaker 9: as like when the season actually starts and all of that.

188
00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:27,360
Speaker 10: So it's just it's it's always.

189
00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:29,960
Speaker 9: Wild when we're sitting here this far into camp, talking

190
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:32,960
Speaker 9: about contracts because you know what's coming, you know.

191
00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:35,080
Speaker 8: Yeah, And I think an interesting part too, just the

192
00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:40,640
Speaker 8: entire negotiation factors are the little nuances, and those nuances

193
00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:43,240
Speaker 8: change every time that another receiver gets done or the

194
00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:46,200
Speaker 8: rumors starts swirling about another receiver getting done.

195
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:48,120
Speaker 7: So let's just look at this week, for example.

196
00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:50,240
Speaker 8: Let's say they started the week with an understanding of

197
00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:52,839
Speaker 8: where both sides were at the negotiation. You know, one

198
00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:56,559
Speaker 8: side maybe feels optimistic or upbeat, you know, Stephen Jones

199
00:08:56,559 --> 00:08:58,880
Speaker 8: has said a couple of times. And then a deal

200
00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:01,640
Speaker 8: like Tyreek Hill gets done where he didn't necessarily add

201
00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:04,520
Speaker 8: more money, but he got more guaranteed money than any.

202
00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:07,000
Speaker 7: Receiver in NFL history.

203
00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:10,880
Speaker 8: So you add that nuance into the entire negotiation, that

204
00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:12,920
Speaker 8: adds a whole different thought over right. Yeah, and then

205
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:15,520
Speaker 8: now you're looking at this Brandon Nyuk situation, the Ceedee

206
00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:17,760
Speaker 8: Lamb and his representation fall back and say, hey, let's

207
00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:20,319
Speaker 8: kind of see what happens here, because there's the Steelers

208
00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:22,239
Speaker 8: that are trying to make an offer for him, the Patriots,

209
00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:25,000
Speaker 8: the Browns, and if he were to get traded, then

210
00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:27,680
Speaker 8: they signed an extension for him as well. And that's

211
00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:30,160
Speaker 8: in the same draft class, and that probably impacts more

212
00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:32,320
Speaker 8: than what Tyreek Hill could have impacted as far as

213
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:35,120
Speaker 8: the nuances of the steal. So there's so many different

214
00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:38,280
Speaker 8: factors and different players that are involved within these two

215
00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:39,640
Speaker 8: sides of the negotiation as well.

216
00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:42,559
Speaker 11: Yeah, you got a team in this Brandon Nyuk thing.

217
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:44,720
Speaker 11: And I was talking to my buddies in San Francisco

218
00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:47,920
Speaker 11: about it yesterday and they're like, listen, whichever way this goes,

219
00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:51,520
Speaker 11: we've got this thing covered, you know, wherever it comes

220
00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:54,800
Speaker 11: back in compensation now. And you're right about Brandon Ayuk.

221
00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:57,200
Speaker 11: I mean, if he ends up in New England, there's

222
00:09:57,200 --> 00:10:00,480
Speaker 11: a team that needs weapons, there's a team to willing

223
00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:03,400
Speaker 11: to pay. There's a team that you know again, how

224
00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:08,240
Speaker 11: the Hills situation, Ayuk? I mean, everybody's waiting to see

225
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:10,640
Speaker 11: and it seems like maybe you make some steps forward

226
00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:14,760
Speaker 11: in this negotiation and then some other thing gets thrown

227
00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:17,160
Speaker 11: into the mix that totally will Wait a minute, we

228
00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:19,560
Speaker 11: didn't think about this, you know, Well, wait a minute,

229
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:22,240
Speaker 11: we had a deal. Well no, we don't have a

230
00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:25,960
Speaker 11: deal now because we just got some new information. So

231
00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:28,680
Speaker 11: the front office is chasing a lot of that right now.

232
00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:30,520
Speaker 4: It's a hard thing to do to come up with

233
00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:30,960
Speaker 4: these deals.

234
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:33,680
Speaker 6: And like I said, there's a lot of different fronts

235
00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:34,960
Speaker 6: when you're talking about a deal like this.

236
00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:37,080
Speaker 4: It's not just the overall money.

237
00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:38,959
Speaker 6: There's a lot of other factors that go into how

238
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:39,880
Speaker 6: it has to be structured.

239
00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:41,960
Speaker 4: And I think that's a lot of what's going on here.

240
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:43,959
Speaker 4: All right, let's talk about the guys that they signed.

241
00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:47,680
Speaker 6: Give me a rundown on linebacker Darius Harris, defensive tackle

242
00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:50,640
Speaker 6: Albert Huggins, and linebacker Nick Vigil.

243
00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:53,079
Speaker 8: Yeah, if I could, I'll start with Nick Vigil, a

244
00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:56,040
Speaker 8: third round pick of the Cincinnati Bengals back in twenty sixteen.

245
00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:59,360
Speaker 8: So at the time, current Cowboys defensive run game coordinator

246
00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:02,280
Speaker 8: Paul Gunther was the defensive coordinator for the Bengals, and

247
00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:05,000
Speaker 8: so he was his coach for two years and then

248
00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:07,160
Speaker 8: later in his career, Nick Vigil had a season with

249
00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:10,320
Speaker 8: Mike Zimmer up in Minnesota in twenty twenty one, so

250
00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:13,480
Speaker 8: a lot of experience and knowledge of the system Nick

251
00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:17,560
Speaker 8: Vigil has coming in here. Had started twelve games, accounted

252
00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:20,080
Speaker 8: for eighty five tackles in that season with the Vikings.

253
00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:22,400
Speaker 8: Back in twenty twenty one, he had an injury that

254
00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:24,280
Speaker 8: he battled in twenty twenty two, and it kind of

255
00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:26,480
Speaker 8: resorted him to the practice squad of the Vikings in

256
00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:27,520
Speaker 8: twenty twenty three.

257
00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:29,679
Speaker 7: But nevertheless, it's another guy.

258
00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:32,079
Speaker 8: In the building that knows the system could help bring

259
00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:34,840
Speaker 8: these young guys up to speed. And then Albert Huggins

260
00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:37,480
Speaker 8: six foot three, three hundred and five pound defensive tackle,

261
00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:39,440
Speaker 8: and O'Brien will probably talk a little bit more about

262
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:41,520
Speaker 8: his alignment. I feel like he's more fit to be

263
00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:44,000
Speaker 8: a three tech, maybe to rotate in with Osa Digizua.

264
00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:47,040
Speaker 8: But five seasons he's been in the NFL, five different

265
00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:49,040
Speaker 8: teams that he's played for, so this will be team

266
00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:52,199
Speaker 8: number six for him. But he started in five games

267
00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:54,640
Speaker 8: for the Atlanta Falcons last season and accounted for twenty

268
00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:57,640
Speaker 8: two tackles, by far, the most action he's participated in

269
00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:00,679
Speaker 8: his NFL career, so coming off of a lot of experience.

270
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:03,040
Speaker 8: He also had a very brief stint with Mike Zimmer

271
00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:06,160
Speaker 8: in Minnesota back in twenty twenty on the practice squad,

272
00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:09,079
Speaker 8: and then Darius Harris. He spent four season with the

273
00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:12,240
Speaker 8: Kansas City Chiefs, undrafted linebacker out of Middle Tennessee State

274
00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:15,880
Speaker 8: in twenty nineteen, he participated in thirty three games. His

275
00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:18,360
Speaker 8: best season came at twenty twenty two. He played in

276
00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:20,760
Speaker 8: all seventeen games and racked up forty three tackles. So

277
00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:22,760
Speaker 8: pretty good to have a two time Super Bowl chap

278
00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:23,600
Speaker 8: on your roster as well.

279
00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:25,400
Speaker 6: Yeah, let's do this real quick, Brian, I want to

280
00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:27,679
Speaker 6: take the break and come back. I'm how Brian, give

281
00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:29,360
Speaker 6: us a gattery report on these three guys. I know

282
00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:31,440
Speaker 6: you've watched all three. Yeah, and give us some insight

283
00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:33,040
Speaker 6: as to what you think they can provide for this

284
00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:34,080
Speaker 6: team when we come back.

285
00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:35,120
Speaker 4: Dallas Cowboys dot com.

286
00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:38,400
Speaker 12: Rey Todd thought it would be secure to jog in

287
00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:41,200
Speaker 12: the cheatah Savannah. Todd believed the big Cat repellent he

288
00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:44,280
Speaker 12: bought online was reliable. And now Todd is trying to

289
00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:46,760
Speaker 12: be faster than this cheetah that can run eighty miles

290
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:49,160
Speaker 12: per hour. But the good news is Todd has AT

291
00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:51,800
Speaker 12: and T five G. It is fast, reliable, and secure,

292
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:53,760
Speaker 12: and he learned the best thing to do is stop

293
00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:56,520
Speaker 12: running and toss her the backpack with the beef stew

294
00:12:57,240 --> 00:13:00,920
Speaker 12: At and T five G. Fast reliable, secure five G.

Speaker 6: in Arc California. This segment brought to you by blockchain

347
00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:37,040
Speaker 6: dot Com. All right, so, Brian, as we were going

348
00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:39,000
Speaker 6: to break, we had mentioned the three guys that the

349
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:39,960
Speaker 6: Cowboys signed.

350
00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:41,680
Speaker 4: Give us some scatter reports on these players.

351
00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:44,000
Speaker 11: Yeah, they'll start with Virgil and he's kind of been

352
00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:47,080
Speaker 11: a guy that's when you watch him play, maybe a

353
00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:50,480
Speaker 11: career special teams guy with you know, with his mainly

354
00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:53,560
Speaker 11: that's how he's always kind of stayed on teams.

355
00:15:53,720 --> 00:15:55,480
Speaker 3: First off, I was a little bit surprised that they.

356
00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:58,440
Speaker 11: Were bringing in linebackers. I don't know how you guys feel.

357
00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:02,000
Speaker 11: Watching practice, I kind of felt like that this room

358
00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:05,000
Speaker 11: has shown up at linebacker a little bit. And I

359
00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:07,680
Speaker 11: it to me, you know, maybe it might be like

360
00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:10,080
Speaker 11: they they not get with the one out of these

361
00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:13,240
Speaker 11: guys special teams wise, his bones kind of because if

362
00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:16,480
Speaker 11: you look at it, Virgil and you also look at Harris,

363
00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:20,400
Speaker 11: kind of guys that play a lot of special teams

364
00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:24,400
Speaker 11: and play on all different special teams. So maybe it's like, Okay,

365
00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:27,880
Speaker 11: guys that know what we're going to do, how we're

366
00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:30,560
Speaker 11: going to play, how we're going to line up, But

367
00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:34,480
Speaker 11: give you that ability to block, that the return ability

368
00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:35,320
Speaker 11: and all that.

369
00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:37,920
Speaker 4: So can I throw this out just a question for you.

370
00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:41,360
Speaker 6: You think maybe it's partially because they like a lot

371
00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:43,880
Speaker 6: of their linebackers, a lot of them. They may say,

372
00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:45,760
Speaker 6: we don't necessarily want to play them in the preseason.

373
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:46,800
Speaker 4: Somebody like Overshowing.

374
00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:47,960
Speaker 6: You would think it's got to be a lot in

375
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:49,840
Speaker 6: the preseason, but because of the injury, they may not,

376
00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:51,960
Speaker 6: and they're like, we need bodies to be able to

377
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:52,760
Speaker 6: play these games.

378
00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:58,520
Speaker 11: I'm interested to ask because it's not an area if

379
00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:02,920
Speaker 11: you're bringing in defensive tackle, I understand, you know, if

380
00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:06,639
Speaker 11: they were bringing secondary help, I would go why you know?

381
00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:08,320
Speaker 3: Or the linebacker help? Why?

382
00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:11,159
Speaker 11: So that's what you do today is you try and

383
00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:13,560
Speaker 11: go up and ask somebody like, Okay, what what was

384
00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:16,480
Speaker 11: the thought about you know, the linebackers here?

385
00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:18,800
Speaker 3: And to your point, I don't have.

386
00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:21,600
Speaker 11: A great answer for you because that's not a position

387
00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:24,240
Speaker 11: I would have attacked. I would have thought, Okay, I've

388
00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:27,119
Speaker 11: got some young guys here, you know, I want to

389
00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:30,200
Speaker 11: see them play. But you know, I don't know. That's

390
00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:33,080
Speaker 11: it was surprising to me. But when you start to

391
00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:36,280
Speaker 11: talk about with with Virgil and what he's done, he

392
00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:39,680
Speaker 11: plays really as an inside linebacker, and that's more than

393
00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:41,640
Speaker 11: you know. You think, oh, well, is he a Mike

394
00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:44,359
Speaker 11: or is he a Will Sam? More of a Sam linebacker.

395
00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:48,200
Speaker 11: The thing about him is he's an aware player. He's

396
00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:50,160
Speaker 11: a good tackler in open space. There were a couple

397
00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:51,960
Speaker 11: of times when the ball got thrown and he got

398
00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:55,399
Speaker 11: putting coverage and the ball went to the outside and

399
00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:58,560
Speaker 11: it was it was like a third down play, third

400
00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:01,119
Speaker 11: and short, and they throw it to the flat to

401
00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:03,840
Speaker 11: the back and he immediately makes the tackle for no

402
00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:07,080
Speaker 11: gain and now you're like off the field. So that

403
00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:08,920
Speaker 11: part of it was when you look at him, you

404
00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:11,639
Speaker 11: can put him in coverage. He's an aware player. He

405
00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:14,720
Speaker 11: uses his hands well from what I saw, you know,

406
00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:16,840
Speaker 11: getting rid of blockers or a couple of times where

407
00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:19,399
Speaker 11: guys came on him, he was able to engage and

408
00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:21,639
Speaker 11: then get rid of the guy and then still find

409
00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:24,119
Speaker 11: the football. I'd like to see a little bit better

410
00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:27,800
Speaker 11: burst from him. There were some times where you could

411
00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:30,600
Speaker 11: tell that everybody else was moving and he was moving,

412
00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:33,600
Speaker 11: but there wasn't that like you'll see these guys out here,

413
00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:37,240
Speaker 11: Like if you watch Clark and those guys, they cover.

414
00:18:37,119 --> 00:18:39,680
Speaker 3: Some ground when they're running to chase the football.

415
00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:42,840
Speaker 11: So i'd like to see a little bit better burst

416
00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:46,200
Speaker 11: from him that way. But the strike as a tackler's good.

417
00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:49,600
Speaker 11: I don't see a lot of quickness with the guy,

418
00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:52,919
Speaker 11: which is again something you see out here with these linebackers.

419
00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:55,800
Speaker 11: There is some guys that can run. There's some like

420
00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:59,119
Speaker 11: when they read it, they go. He's a little bit

421
00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:01,880
Speaker 11: of a guy that when he sees it he's gonna go.

422
00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:04,560
Speaker 3: But I think that's his strength right now.

423
00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:07,120
Speaker 11: Is his awareness to be able to play the position

424
00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:09,760
Speaker 11: and get over and then make the play. But he

425
00:19:09,840 --> 00:19:12,680
Speaker 11: is a really really good tackle or tackler. I think

426
00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:15,960
Speaker 11: he's going to be a rotational linebacker forim here and

427
00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:17,120
Speaker 11: the special team.

428
00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:19,200
Speaker 3: Stuff that I mentioned. So, and then you get to

429
00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:20,080
Speaker 3: Darius Harris.

430
00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:23,680
Speaker 11: I watched him quite a bit on special teams as well,

431
00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:25,560
Speaker 11: just because I was curious about him. He's got some

432
00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:28,480
Speaker 11: size to him, He's got some quickness off the ball,

433
00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:31,639
Speaker 11: unlike with what you have with Virgil there. I'd like

434
00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:34,160
Speaker 11: to see him adjust a little bit better in space.

435
00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:37,800
Speaker 11: That was something that when you watch him play, he's

436
00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:39,800
Speaker 11: kind of a bigger guy, and it was like he

437
00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:44,560
Speaker 11: was not unsure, but it was like the ball was

438
00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:46,840
Speaker 11: here and he was having you and then oh, come back,

439
00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:50,359
Speaker 11: but there was not that quick processing to it. It

440
00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:52,400
Speaker 11: was like, Oh, there it is now. I gotta think,

441
00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:53,760
Speaker 11: you know, I like to see him play a little

442
00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:56,320
Speaker 11: bit better that way. I think it's straight ahead speed

443
00:19:56,440 --> 00:20:00,119
Speaker 11: is really good. The lateral stuff not so much, I

444
00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:03,240
Speaker 11: think all but he's one of those guys that if

445
00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:06,639
Speaker 11: it's attacking, he's going to be good that way with it.

446
00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:13,040
Speaker 11: So special teams rotational linebacker kind of fits into what

447
00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:17,760
Speaker 11: you're doing without the It's got the size, but doesn't

448
00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:20,399
Speaker 11: have the quickness or the burst that these guys have

449
00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:25,119
Speaker 11: right now. Albert Huggins I mentioned I watched the games

450
00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:28,080
Speaker 11: where he was playing the defensive tackle. The Packers game

451
00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:30,760
Speaker 11: is one of the games he plays both as a

452
00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:34,000
Speaker 11: nose and as a three technique. You're right, Nick, I

453
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:36,720
Speaker 11: think he's a little bit, probably more of a three

454
00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:40,480
Speaker 11: than this, but he does have some lateral slide to

455
00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:41,000
Speaker 11: his game.

456
00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:41,920
Speaker 3: You see him.

457
00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:44,840
Speaker 11: Maybe they're trying to kind of figure out a backup

458
00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:47,560
Speaker 11: spot for OsO Diggizuwa out here.

459
00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:48,960
Speaker 3: You know, is it Golston?

460
00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:51,680
Speaker 11: If maybe if all of a sudden Huggins works out,

461
00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:55,199
Speaker 11: you can move Golston maybe to another spot. So that

462
00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:57,359
Speaker 11: might be what we're trying to do here. But he

463
00:20:57,400 --> 00:21:00,200
Speaker 11: does have quickness, he'll hold the point of attack. There's

464
00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:02,680
Speaker 11: some squareness to his game. And when I say squareness,

465
00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:05,360
Speaker 11: he'll take on. You don't see his he's wearing number

466
00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:08,080
Speaker 11: ninety four. You didn't see him get turned or moved

467
00:21:08,119 --> 00:21:10,959
Speaker 11: out of the hole that way. So but you know

468
00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:13,760
Speaker 11: there were times where they they kind of were uh

469
00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:16,000
Speaker 11: where he was able to get down the line of scrimmage.

470
00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:19,639
Speaker 11: He beat the cutoff blocks, the reach blocks. You know,

471
00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:23,880
Speaker 11: he's he's he can get kind of trapped in one area.

472
00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:26,280
Speaker 11: So you know, you want to see maybe a little

473
00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:28,320
Speaker 11: bit better extend and then a little bit better of

474
00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:28,920
Speaker 11: getting rid.

475
00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:29,280
Speaker 3: Of the guy.

476
00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:33,480
Speaker 11: But you see him upfield and he wins upfield. I'd

477
00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:35,879
Speaker 11: like to see a little bit more better awareness of

478
00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:38,840
Speaker 11: the down block, like he would engage and then he

479
00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:40,560
Speaker 11: wouldn't feel the block coming.

480
00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:42,760
Speaker 3: A lot of these guys could feel that and know

481
00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:43,280
Speaker 3: that and.

482
00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:45,760
Speaker 11: Work around that block, and he kind of got blocked

483
00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:46,960
Speaker 11: when it was that down block.

484
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:48,360
Speaker 3: He was kind of taking that on.

485
00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:50,600
Speaker 11: And I'm like, man, how many times are you gonna

486
00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:53,000
Speaker 11: get hit in the side before you realize they're down

487
00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:56,400
Speaker 11: blocking you in this game? So I think I think

488
00:21:56,440 --> 00:21:59,879
Speaker 11: he'll I think he'll be a good addition to trying

489
00:21:59,880 --> 00:22:02,679
Speaker 11: to figure out can he play a little one and

490
00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:03,480
Speaker 11: help him?

491
00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:05,760
Speaker 3: But can he play that three and maybe be.

492
00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:09,200
Speaker 11: Behind Osa and then allow like I said, allows them

493
00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:11,960
Speaker 11: to move golst into another spot.

494
00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:14,480
Speaker 4: That's good stuff. All right, Let's let's move on.

495
00:22:14,560 --> 00:22:17,359
Speaker 6: Let's get some practice notes over the last couple practices.

496
00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:19,199
Speaker 6: Let's go down the line. Tell me some things that

497
00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:21,560
Speaker 6: you notice, some things jumped out of em. Let's start

498
00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:21,760
Speaker 6: with you.

499
00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:26,200
Speaker 10: Well, can I go on a quick rant, real fun.

500
00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:30,320
Speaker 6: Absolutely, Like I'm gonna say, Noah, like you're about my

501
00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:33,080
Speaker 6: scouting reports?

502
00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:42,520
Speaker 9: No, but yeah, so every year, I you know, we

503
00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:46,399
Speaker 9: get excited before the season starts and blah blah blah.

504
00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:49,960
Speaker 9: But you know, being there done that. In my case,

505
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:51,600
Speaker 9: I've learned my lesson type of thing.

506
00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:53,120
Speaker 3: I'm like, no, I'm not gonna get.

507
00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:56,200
Speaker 9: Excited about nothing. Y'all better show me in the playoffs

508
00:22:56,280 --> 00:22:57,080
Speaker 9: not doing.

509
00:22:56,800 --> 00:22:57,639
Speaker 10: This, you know.

510
00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:03,000
Speaker 9: So, But the Cowboys tend to have some spark that

511
00:23:03,040 --> 00:23:06,919
Speaker 9: they work their magic, and I'm a victim again that

512
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:09,400
Speaker 9: I'm about to jump on the roller coaster. But there's

513
00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:12,520
Speaker 9: something that is really really exciting. The other day on

514
00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:16,600
Speaker 9: the other show, Ryan, you mentioned Mike Zimmer and what

515
00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:19,880
Speaker 9: he's been doing with the defense. To me, the more

516
00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:23,040
Speaker 9: and more I watch, the more and more excited I

517
00:23:23,119 --> 00:23:25,760
Speaker 9: get because it's such a different look than what we

518
00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:30,320
Speaker 9: are used to seeing with the Cowboys defense in recent years.

519
00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:31,400
Speaker 10: The way that he's.

520
00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:37,359
Speaker 9: Disguising guys, you know, plays and and just the trick

521
00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:40,040
Speaker 9: aspect where you would watch other teams do things like

522
00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:41,760
Speaker 9: that and we're like, why can't we ever have that?

523
00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:45,920
Speaker 10: Why can't we ever Like I'm missing I.

524
00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:56,160
Speaker 9: Can't think of the word, but just tricking the eye.

525
00:23:55,880 --> 00:23:59,320
Speaker 10: But the point is what.

526
00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:03,760
Speaker 9: He's what he's doing, what he's doing right now with

527
00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:05,600
Speaker 9: all of that, it's such a different look. I think

528
00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:08,520
Speaker 9: it's gonna be very very exciting for fans to see,

529
00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:11,840
Speaker 9: for us to watch this season, and it's allowing guys

530
00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:15,760
Speaker 9: to be positioned better to allow them to be more

531
00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:18,480
Speaker 9: explosive and more creative and like get to the place

532
00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:20,320
Speaker 9: where they need to be and I think the defense

533
00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:24,960
Speaker 9: yesterday's practice, they had a really good day. Everything that

534
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:27,840
Speaker 9: they did, they won. In my opinion, they won the day.

535
00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:34,160
Speaker 9: They were the better group yesterday and everyone's looking it's

536
00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:36,040
Speaker 9: just exciting. And I got a chance to talk to

537
00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:39,320
Speaker 9: Trevon Diggs and I asked him, Hey, you've been standing

538
00:24:39,359 --> 00:24:41,960
Speaker 9: on the sidelines for quite a while. Who has a

539
00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:44,080
Speaker 9: guy who's a guy that's been standing out to you?

540
00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:47,199
Speaker 9: And he mentioned killing Carson. He's a guy that he's like.

541
00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:51,359
Speaker 9: He he's really quick, very very good with his footwork,

542
00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:54,359
Speaker 9: his handwork, and he's when you watch him on field,

543
00:24:54,520 --> 00:24:56,800
Speaker 9: aside from what happens on here, when you go into

544
00:24:56,840 --> 00:24:59,200
Speaker 9: the film room and start watching what he's doing, he's

545
00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:00,760
Speaker 9: a guy to look forw He's been.

546
00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:01,720
Speaker 10: Very very impressive.

547
00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:06,320
Speaker 8: Yeah, I'm gonna piggyback off that with another corner that

548
00:25:06,359 --> 00:25:08,200
Speaker 8: I think is just having a phenomenal camp, and that's

549
00:25:08,280 --> 00:25:08,840
Speaker 8: Jordan Lewis.

550
00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:10,080
Speaker 3: Got darn it man.

551
00:25:10,600 --> 00:25:12,280
Speaker 8: Looking at what he's been able to do over the

552
00:25:12,280 --> 00:25:14,920
Speaker 8: course of these these couple of weeks. Men, he's been phenomenal.

553
00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:16,919
Speaker 8: And I think that there's a couple of things that

554
00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:20,080
Speaker 8: play into that. A it's different than last camp, for

555
00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:23,320
Speaker 8: him in the sense that he's been healthy the whole offseason.

556
00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:26,560
Speaker 8: He's been able to improve this whole offseason instead of Hey,

557
00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:29,240
Speaker 8: trying to get healthy and trying to make it in

558
00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:31,560
Speaker 8: time for training camp. There's a different mindset that I

559
00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:33,720
Speaker 8: think plays into that. And then you know last year

560
00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:35,600
Speaker 8: he was just getting comfortable being on the field again

561
00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:37,920
Speaker 8: after that List Frank injury to his foot that was

562
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:41,639
Speaker 8: career threatening at one point. But you see that confidence

563
00:25:42,160 --> 00:25:44,480
Speaker 8: not only in his body but with his ability. The

564
00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:46,720
Speaker 8: way he ended the season last year. The Detroit game

565
00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:48,320
Speaker 8: really sticks out to me as a game that he

566
00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:51,800
Speaker 8: really stood out in. But just yesterday diving interception of

567
00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:53,720
Speaker 8: Dak Prescott, it was the first one that Dak has

568
00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:56,080
Speaker 8: thrown since they've been in pads, and then he had

569
00:25:56,119 --> 00:25:58,159
Speaker 8: another one in the corner of the end zone that

570
00:25:58,240 --> 00:26:00,000
Speaker 8: he went up with one hand and could have brought

571
00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:01,360
Speaker 8: it down but just missed it.

572
00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:03,280
Speaker 7: He's he's all over the place.

573
00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:05,520
Speaker 8: You see the physicality that's starting to come back with

574
00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:07,720
Speaker 8: Jordan Lewis, and that's what we saw at the end

575
00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:09,960
Speaker 8: of the year last year. So he's just taking where

576
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:12,159
Speaker 8: he left off in twenty twenty three and moving it

577
00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:13,400
Speaker 8: right into twenty twenty four.

578
00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:14,159
Speaker 7: Really loved that.

579
00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:16,080
Speaker 8: And then one other thing that I'll point out from

580
00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:19,320
Speaker 8: yesterday's practice specifically is they did a session with a

581
00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:23,919
Speaker 8: goal line work and they were throwing in a different

582
00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:26,160
Speaker 8: array of running backs trying to get those one two

583
00:26:26,280 --> 00:26:28,399
Speaker 8: yards to get into the end zone, and the defense

584
00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:30,000
Speaker 8: was a stone wall. I think they got him three

585
00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:33,200
Speaker 8: consecutive reps, which was really huge for that defensive unit,

586
00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:36,160
Speaker 8: and you could see, like whenever they were making those stops,

587
00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:38,399
Speaker 8: you could see how much confidence was being built on

588
00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:40,600
Speaker 8: that defensive side of the ball. So if you're worried

589
00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:43,360
Speaker 8: about interior defensive line like I am, then that's definitely

590
00:26:43,359 --> 00:26:45,720
Speaker 8: a that's definitely a positive mark you could look at.

591
00:26:46,040 --> 00:26:48,640
Speaker 3: I'll tell you you're absolutely right about Jordan Lewis defensive

592
00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:51,200
Speaker 3: holding penalty. We had the reference here, we'll.

593
00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:53,720
Speaker 17: Take our ones where we get um and I I

594
00:26:53,760 --> 00:26:55,159
Speaker 17: was trying to think who was going to get the

595
00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:59,120
Speaker 17: first defensive holding penalty because these guys will I thought

596
00:26:59,119 --> 00:27:00,520
Speaker 17: it was a good day over And I think you're

597
00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:01,760
Speaker 17: absolute right about Jordan.

598
00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:05,960
Speaker 11: Lewis and the player personnel trailer over there, they're watching

599
00:27:05,960 --> 00:27:08,720
Speaker 11: film at night and they're trying to figure out how

600
00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:09,080
Speaker 11: to get.

601
00:27:09,080 --> 00:27:12,000
Speaker 3: Jalen Cropper on this team is what they're trying to do.

602
00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:16,320
Speaker 11: He's making them a wide receiver in that room. Have

603
00:27:16,560 --> 00:27:20,760
Speaker 11: to think about how many receivers are we going to carry?

604
00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:23,440
Speaker 11: Are we going to be able to carry six?

605
00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:26,040
Speaker 3: Do we carry five? How is this going to play out?

606
00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:29,960
Speaker 11: He continues to make play after play, and it doesn't

607
00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:32,280
Speaker 11: matter what group he could run with. The ones he

608
00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:34,800
Speaker 11: makes place, he runs with, the twos he makes place,

609
00:27:34,960 --> 00:27:38,040
Speaker 11: he runs with, the threes, he makes plays. It just

610
00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:40,640
Speaker 11: seems like every time that you hear bones fossil, it's

611
00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:44,040
Speaker 11: third and four, it's fourth and three, they throw the

612
00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:46,560
Speaker 11: ball to sixteen and it's a first down, or they

613
00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:48,040
Speaker 11: get down in tight red zone and.

614
00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:49,280
Speaker 3: He's able to separate.

615
00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:53,680
Speaker 11: He is making it very difficult keep an eye on him,

616
00:27:54,440 --> 00:27:58,000
Speaker 11: especially this weekend, if it turns into or maybe all

617
00:27:58,040 --> 00:28:02,800
Speaker 11: the preseason games. Does he function on special teams because

618
00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:05,200
Speaker 11: all of a sudden, if you see and you've noticed

619
00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:08,680
Speaker 11: number sixteen, he's gonna have to make his team.

620
00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:09,720
Speaker 3: Being a complete guy.

621
00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:12,800
Speaker 11: I don't think he could just be catch your guy

622
00:28:12,960 --> 00:28:15,440
Speaker 11: or you know, but he is making that group over

623
00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:17,040
Speaker 11: there in that personnel trailer.

624
00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:20,920
Speaker 3: Have to think about keeping a spot on this roster

625
00:28:21,040 --> 00:28:21,320
Speaker 3: for him.

626
00:28:22,359 --> 00:28:24,760
Speaker 6: I'll throw out a name, and it's a guy that's

627
00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:29,240
Speaker 6: a name that everybody knows, and quite frankly, I just

628
00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:32,359
Speaker 6: over the last two practices I've started noticing him more.

629
00:28:32,840 --> 00:28:33,800
Speaker 4: It's Zeke Elliott.

630
00:28:34,440 --> 00:28:36,760
Speaker 6: He is not a guy obviously at running back. It's

631
00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:39,480
Speaker 6: hard at training training camp to really see things from

632
00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:43,800
Speaker 6: running backs, even linebackers that really impress me because the

633
00:28:43,880 --> 00:28:46,880
Speaker 6: primary function of both of their jobs don't happen out here.

634
00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:50,720
Speaker 6: Running Backs don't break tackles out here. Linebackers don't linebackers

635
00:28:50,720 --> 00:28:52,840
Speaker 6: don't tackle out here, so you're not gonna really find

636
00:28:52,840 --> 00:28:54,440
Speaker 6: out a lot about them until you get into the

637
00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:57,200
Speaker 6: real games. But what I've seen from Zeke that made

638
00:28:57,240 --> 00:28:59,560
Speaker 6: me a little more excited is he has a little

639
00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:02,320
Speaker 6: more whig then I think I've I thought he still

640
00:29:02,360 --> 00:29:04,280
Speaker 6: had at this point in his career. I thought of

641
00:29:04,360 --> 00:29:05,880
Speaker 6: him more as just kind of that guy who was

642
00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:08,040
Speaker 6: kind of find the whole, kind of get into it.

643
00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:10,800
Speaker 4: But he's been out here, he's been a little more.

644
00:29:10,640 --> 00:29:13,160
Speaker 6: Spry over the last couple of practices, and that that

645
00:29:13,280 --> 00:29:15,880
Speaker 6: made me kind of it didn't pique my interest to

646
00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:17,800
Speaker 6: make me see just you know where I think he's

647
00:29:17,840 --> 00:29:20,320
Speaker 6: gonna gonna be and what he can possibly be for

648
00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:22,360
Speaker 6: this team this season. He did have, as we said,

649
00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:24,480
Speaker 6: we keep saying, he had a better second half of

650
00:29:24,480 --> 00:29:27,200
Speaker 6: the year last year than the first half, and and

651
00:29:27,280 --> 00:29:29,680
Speaker 6: could just be a situation where you really can get

652
00:29:29,680 --> 00:29:33,160
Speaker 6: some really good production out of Zeke Elliott. I'm starting

653
00:29:33,160 --> 00:29:35,000
Speaker 6: to get a little more excited about that at this point,

654
00:29:35,040 --> 00:29:36,360
Speaker 6: just seeing some of the things I've seen out here

655
00:29:36,360 --> 00:29:36,760
Speaker 6: in last.

656
00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:39,400
Speaker 11: Hey, Rico Dabble is backing up either now, I mean

657
00:29:39,560 --> 00:29:41,880
Speaker 11: backing up in a way of like, Okay, Zeke, it's

658
00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:44,240
Speaker 11: all yours. I think that Rico is trying to put

659
00:29:44,280 --> 00:29:47,720
Speaker 11: and I know that they're they're working Zeke, and you're

660
00:29:47,760 --> 00:29:49,840
Speaker 11: mentioned a couple of days you are seeing. I felt

661
00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:51,920
Speaker 11: like in the early practices.

662
00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:52,720
Speaker 3: We really weren't seeing Zeke.

663
00:29:52,760 --> 00:29:54,840
Speaker 11: I agree, yeah, And it's I remember Todd Arch and

664
00:29:54,840 --> 00:29:57,360
Speaker 11: I were talking like is he practicing? And I'm like,

665
00:29:57,400 --> 00:29:59,840
Speaker 11: I don't feel like he is, But you are seeing.

666
00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:02,600
Speaker 11: You're right, you are seeing a little bit more from him,

667
00:30:03,240 --> 00:30:05,840
Speaker 11: uh in that regard. But I I don't think Rico

668
00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:09,080
Speaker 11: Dawdell is going to just give him this job. They'll

669
00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:11,760
Speaker 11: probably say okay, you could be the guy. You know,

670
00:30:11,840 --> 00:30:14,680
Speaker 11: they're probably the front office, Okay, you're Zeke, You're gonna

671
00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:17,520
Speaker 11: But Rico Dawdell is making it interesting too as well

672
00:30:17,560 --> 00:30:20,600
Speaker 11: that the way he's kind of playing with some complete

673
00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:23,320
Speaker 11: the running ability to catching the ball and then some

674
00:30:23,360 --> 00:30:24,760
Speaker 11: of the blitz pick up stuff as well.

675
00:30:24,760 --> 00:30:27,080
Speaker 8: And I think regardless of how the depth chart stacks up,

676
00:30:27,120 --> 00:30:29,400
Speaker 8: Rico Dawdell's going to have more opportunities than he had

677
00:30:29,480 --> 00:30:29,880
Speaker 8: last year.

678
00:30:29,920 --> 00:30:31,240
Speaker 7: Yeah, that's just based.

679
00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:31,760
Speaker 3: On his health.

680
00:30:31,920 --> 00:30:34,400
Speaker 11: Is always the question that if you know, if you

681
00:30:34,640 --> 00:30:37,680
Speaker 11: if you told me this is going to sound crazy,

682
00:30:38,280 --> 00:30:39,920
Speaker 11: you told me he was going to be healthy for

683
00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:41,000
Speaker 11: seventeen weeks.

684
00:30:41,760 --> 00:30:43,959
Speaker 3: He's a better player right now than Ezekiel Elliott.

685
00:30:43,960 --> 00:30:44,440
Speaker 4: I agree with that.

686
00:30:44,560 --> 00:30:46,960
Speaker 3: I think the scene he is, he is a better

687
00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:47,960
Speaker 3: player right now.

688
00:30:48,040 --> 00:30:50,400
Speaker 11: If you said, okay, we are going to have to

689
00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:53,640
Speaker 11: run the football and and you know, and I I'm

690
00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:57,000
Speaker 11: not ever against putting the things in Dak Prescott's hands

691
00:30:57,040 --> 00:30:59,640
Speaker 11: because he was a you know what you saw last year.

692
00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:02,000
Speaker 11: I don't want him throwing the ball forty five times

693
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:05,720
Speaker 11: a game. But I will say this though, the guy

694
00:31:05,800 --> 00:31:08,640
Speaker 11: that seems to give me a little bit of like, Okay,

695
00:31:08,680 --> 00:31:12,240
Speaker 11: maybe this running game can average four yards four and

696
00:31:12,240 --> 00:31:14,600
Speaker 11: a half yards and carry. I kind of feel like

697
00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:17,920
Speaker 11: that's Rico Daddle right now. And I but I this

698
00:31:18,040 --> 00:31:21,040
Speaker 11: room is still got me a little bit. Is there

699
00:31:21,080 --> 00:31:23,760
Speaker 11: somebody else? Is there somebody else out there?

700
00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:26,280
Speaker 8: I still feel like they just have three RB twos

701
00:31:26,320 --> 00:31:27,400
Speaker 8: that they're just gonna throw on.

702
00:31:27,560 --> 00:31:29,720
Speaker 11: I don't disagree with you on that, but I think

703
00:31:29,760 --> 00:31:32,080
Speaker 11: that I think the thing with Rico Daddle, if I

704
00:31:32,160 --> 00:31:36,960
Speaker 11: didn't have this injury concern in my head, I would

705
00:31:37,120 --> 00:31:40,040
Speaker 11: I would totally say he no, he can, you know,

706
00:31:40,360 --> 00:31:43,000
Speaker 11: put the put the put the equipment on the wagon

707
00:31:43,040 --> 00:31:44,280
Speaker 11: and let him pull the wagon.

708
00:31:44,320 --> 00:31:46,080
Speaker 6: But here's the thing, like I think, if they can

709
00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:49,240
Speaker 6: get solid production out of Zeke, which is why I've

710
00:31:49,240 --> 00:31:50,960
Speaker 6: been happy with what I've seen these last couple of days,

711
00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:53,920
Speaker 6: they can get solid production from Zeke and what you

712
00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:57,240
Speaker 6: say about Rico and what they like about Hunter Lipke,

713
00:31:57,320 --> 00:31:58,880
Speaker 6: because I think he will have that will have a

714
00:31:58,960 --> 00:32:01,920
Speaker 6: different role than yesterdydditional fullback, right, He'll get some carries

715
00:32:02,120 --> 00:32:04,360
Speaker 6: in there too. I think now this running back room

716
00:32:04,400 --> 00:32:06,120
Speaker 6: is starting to kind of I'm starting to get an

717
00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:08,240
Speaker 6: image in my mind of what it can be and

718
00:32:08,280 --> 00:32:11,400
Speaker 6: how it could possibly work. Again, everything has to work out.

719
00:32:11,440 --> 00:32:12,960
Speaker 6: Like you don't have a lot of room for air here.

720
00:32:13,200 --> 00:32:14,800
Speaker 6: But if everything works out, I'm starting to get a

721
00:32:14,880 --> 00:32:15,760
Speaker 6: vision for what it can be.

722
00:32:15,920 --> 00:32:18,680
Speaker 11: If you if you told me it was Rico Dabdele

723
00:32:19,560 --> 00:32:24,080
Speaker 11: Hunter lipke In Turpen mixed in. I think I can

724
00:32:24,080 --> 00:32:26,560
Speaker 11: find a way to run the football. Yeah, I think

725
00:32:26,600 --> 00:32:30,000
Speaker 11: I can. But again, it has to be about the

726
00:32:30,080 --> 00:32:33,320
Speaker 11: tight ends and it has to be the you know,

727
00:32:33,440 --> 00:32:37,959
Speaker 11: how things play out because I completely trust Smith and

728
00:32:38,040 --> 00:32:41,400
Speaker 11: I trust Martin Steele. You know, we got to you know,

729
00:32:41,480 --> 00:32:44,160
Speaker 11: he's trying to work his way back into things. But

730
00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:46,320
Speaker 11: they've got to get it. They've got to have some

731
00:32:46,440 --> 00:32:48,560
Speaker 11: better point of attack blocking from these Titans. They got

732
00:32:48,640 --> 00:32:51,520
Speaker 11: to figure out somebody that can that can handle that role.

733
00:32:51,600 --> 00:32:53,280
Speaker 6: All right, let's go ahead and take our final break.

734
00:32:53,280 --> 00:32:55,479
Speaker 6: We will come back in just a second. We'll get

735

Speaker 12: faster than this cheetah that can run eighty miles per hour.

780
00:35:11,320 --> 00:35:13,080

Speaker 12: five G. It is fast, reliable, and secure, and he

782
00:35:15,920 --> 00:35:18,160
Speaker 12: learned the best thing to do is stop running and

783
00:35:18,360 --> 00:35:21,239

Speaker 11: Final segment of the show doesn't work.

814
00:36:41,520 --> 00:36:43,600
Speaker 4: We got a few minutes here before the show ends.

815
00:36:43,600 --> 00:36:45,600
Speaker 6: So I did want to get some updates on some

816
00:36:45,640 --> 00:36:48,759
Speaker 6: of the guys that are coming back from injury. There

817
00:36:48,800 --> 00:36:52,720
Speaker 6: were there were two in particular that last season I thought,

818
00:36:52,800 --> 00:36:56,120
Speaker 6: or last preseason, I thought, we're turning a lot of heads.

819
00:36:56,480 --> 00:36:58,960
Speaker 6: They both had a c L injuries. They both missed

820
00:36:58,960 --> 00:37:00,960
Speaker 6: the season. They're back now and.

821
00:37:00,960 --> 00:37:03,640
Speaker 4: Practicing really from the beginning of camp. They've been out there.

822
00:37:03,880 --> 00:37:05,440
Speaker 6: Let's talk a little bit about what you guys have

823
00:37:05,480 --> 00:37:08,400
Speaker 6: seen from Marvin Overshown and from John Stevens.

824
00:37:08,680 --> 00:37:10,800
Speaker 7: Yeah, I'll start with h I'll start with John Stevens.

825
00:37:11,880 --> 00:37:16,279
Speaker 3: He's bigger. Have you not seen anything.

826
00:37:15,960 --> 00:37:17,520
Speaker 7: O I have seen from Overshaw? I just figured out

827
00:37:17,560 --> 00:37:18,760
Speaker 7: lest you have overshown there down.

828
00:37:18,600 --> 00:37:21,840
Speaker 3: There if you want, because yeah, yeah, go ahead.

829
00:37:21,640 --> 00:37:24,440
Speaker 8: I'll take both. I'll start with John Stevens junior. He's

830
00:37:24,560 --> 00:37:26,440
Speaker 8: he's definitely bigger. And that was the first thing we

831
00:37:26,480 --> 00:37:29,200
Speaker 8: saw whenever he started to get on uh the chords

832
00:37:29,280 --> 00:37:32,480
Speaker 8: with h with Britt Brown during mini camp and we

833
00:37:32,480 --> 00:37:34,760
Speaker 8: see him out there on the field and it's like, goodness,

834
00:37:34,760 --> 00:37:35,040
Speaker 8: who's that.

835
00:37:35,200 --> 00:37:37,720
Speaker 7: It's like, oh, it's John Stevens. Like he's he's just bigger.

836
00:37:37,760 --> 00:37:37,960
Speaker 4: Now.

837
00:37:38,200 --> 00:37:39,440
Speaker 8: We were able to talk to him a couple of

838
00:37:39,440 --> 00:37:42,120
Speaker 8: weeks ago twelve thirteen pounds of added mass that he's added,

839
00:37:42,200 --> 00:37:45,920
Speaker 8: So he's starting to factor into that tight end position

840
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:48,200
Speaker 8: a little bit more rather than you know, the receiver

841
00:37:48,320 --> 00:37:51,080
Speaker 8: experience that he had from college at Louisiana Lafayette. But

842
00:37:52,400 --> 00:37:54,160
Speaker 8: the thing with him, he's having the drops. He's a

843
00:37:54,200 --> 00:37:57,400
Speaker 8: little bit out here at camp. That being said, you

844
00:37:57,440 --> 00:37:59,560
Speaker 8: still see the route tree on display. You still see

845
00:37:59,600 --> 00:38:01,560
Speaker 8: his a bill to be a receiving tight end at

846
00:38:01,600 --> 00:38:03,600
Speaker 8: the end of the day. I think these preseason games

847
00:38:03,600 --> 00:38:05,719
Speaker 8: will be really big for him at the at the

848
00:38:05,800 --> 00:38:07,920
Speaker 8: very end of it, because if he can show that

849
00:38:07,960 --> 00:38:10,399
Speaker 8: he has some point of attackability, not necessarily the best

850
00:38:10,400 --> 00:38:13,080
Speaker 8: on the roster, but some point of attackability, and he

851
00:38:13,120 --> 00:38:16,040
Speaker 8: can pair that with you know, a three four five

852
00:38:16,120 --> 00:38:19,480
Speaker 8: catch game and connect with Cooper Rush, connect with Trey Lance,

853
00:38:19,680 --> 00:38:21,400
Speaker 8: then I think he ends up finding a roster spot

854
00:38:21,400 --> 00:38:21,640
Speaker 8: I do.

855
00:38:22,200 --> 00:38:24,279
Speaker 7: And then with Demarvin Overshown, man, he's like a bat

856
00:38:24,320 --> 00:38:24,759
Speaker 7: out of hell.

857
00:38:24,880 --> 00:38:26,920
Speaker 8: I mean every time that he's hitting the field, he's

858
00:38:26,960 --> 00:38:31,360
Speaker 8: trying to go one percent. And it was funny because

859
00:38:31,360 --> 00:38:32,960
Speaker 8: after the first day that he hit the field, Mike

860
00:38:33,040 --> 00:38:35,000
Speaker 8: McCarthy was like, yeah, he maybe went a little bit

861
00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:37,920
Speaker 8: too hard as GPS numbers and analytics data came back

862
00:38:37,960 --> 00:38:40,960
Speaker 8: a little too high than we want. So from me,

863
00:38:41,160 --> 00:38:44,520
Speaker 8: what I see from him, I see I see communication.

864
00:38:45,440 --> 00:38:48,440
Speaker 8: I see him playing different roles. Even when Eric Kendricks

865
00:38:48,440 --> 00:38:49,920
Speaker 8: has been out of practice, He's been asked to do

866
00:38:49,960 --> 00:38:52,120
Speaker 8: a couple of different things and he's shined in those roles.

867
00:38:52,640 --> 00:38:54,480
Speaker 8: I think him and Marrius Luifou are gonna be a

868
00:38:54,480 --> 00:38:56,520
Speaker 8: really fun duo as time goes on. And that's not

869
00:38:56,600 --> 00:38:58,840
Speaker 8: to factor out DeMont Clark because I think he's a

870
00:38:58,840 --> 00:39:01,759
Speaker 8: part of that young group as well. But on that

871
00:39:01,840 --> 00:39:04,400
Speaker 8: same token, Overshown, I think he has that youth that

872
00:39:04,440 --> 00:39:07,359
Speaker 8: he just attacks the field with and that's really great

873
00:39:07,360 --> 00:39:09,680
Speaker 8: to see coming off of a torn acl he still

874
00:39:09,760 --> 00:39:12,600
Speaker 8: has that attackability and I think that's going to translate

875
00:39:12,600 --> 00:39:13,680
Speaker 8: onto the field on Sunday.

876
00:39:13,760 --> 00:39:16,200
Speaker 6: Yeah, real quick, when you mentioned demon Clark. I think

877
00:39:16,280 --> 00:39:18,239
Speaker 6: it's all of us probably are like you think of

878
00:39:18,320 --> 00:39:20,839
Speaker 6: him and you think veteran. Yeah, he's a young guy,

879
00:39:20,920 --> 00:39:24,560
Speaker 6: I mean really, and he came into the NFL already injured,

880
00:39:24,760 --> 00:39:27,400
Speaker 6: came back from injury much fascinating at the spot, Like

881
00:39:27,520 --> 00:39:28,799
Speaker 6: he is just a young I.

882
00:39:28,760 --> 00:39:30,000
Speaker 3: Don't know if he was going to play again.

883
00:39:30,200 --> 00:39:30,759
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I.

884
00:39:30,760 --> 00:39:33,200
Speaker 6: Mean he is a young guy, and I'm very excited

885
00:39:33,239 --> 00:39:35,160
Speaker 6: about him just because of the things I'm seeing out here,

886
00:39:35,160 --> 00:39:37,799
Speaker 6: but more importantly just thinking about the fact he's still

887
00:39:37,800 --> 00:39:38,720
Speaker 6: got a long runway.

888
00:39:38,760 --> 00:39:39,200
Speaker 4: He really does.

889
00:39:39,320 --> 00:39:41,600
Speaker 8: He He had availability the other day, I believe it

890
00:39:41,640 --> 00:39:43,880
Speaker 8: was on Monday, and I asked him. I was like, Okay,

891
00:39:43,880 --> 00:39:46,040
Speaker 8: you had these this veteran in the room and Eric Kendricks.

892
00:39:46,080 --> 00:39:48,000
Speaker 8: That's really helped bringing you along. It's a great mentor

893
00:39:48,040 --> 00:39:49,600
Speaker 8: for you. But at the same time, there's so many

894
00:39:49,640 --> 00:39:51,640
Speaker 8: young guys in the room that you're kind of having

895
00:39:51,640 --> 00:39:53,600
Speaker 8: a mentor and help, you know, kind of teach the

896
00:39:53,640 --> 00:39:55,239
Speaker 8: cowboy way in a way. I was like, do you

897
00:39:55,320 --> 00:39:56,799
Speaker 8: kind of feel like the middle child in the room,

898
00:39:56,840 --> 00:39:58,200
Speaker 8: And he was like, yeah.

899
00:39:58,040 --> 00:39:58,520
Speaker 10: I actually do.

900
00:39:58,640 --> 00:40:00,560
Speaker 7: That's actually yeah.

901
00:40:00,640 --> 00:40:03,319
Speaker 8: So he's the guy that I think can benefit from

902
00:40:03,360 --> 00:40:05,960
Speaker 8: both areas of it. He can benefit from learning from kindricks,

903
00:40:06,040 --> 00:40:08,160
Speaker 8: he can benefit from teaching these young guys.

904
00:40:09,040 --> 00:40:14,480
Speaker 9: So with overshown for me, you know when okay, he

905
00:40:14,600 --> 00:40:16,759
Speaker 9: was a rookie last year. You know when if there's

906
00:40:16,800 --> 00:40:18,799
Speaker 9: a guy that's a rookie that get hurt they come back,

907
00:40:19,160 --> 00:40:22,600
Speaker 9: there's still the lack of experience there. They're still like, Okay,

908
00:40:22,640 --> 00:40:25,040
Speaker 9: this is gonna be the one year, two year player

909
00:40:25,080 --> 00:40:28,400
Speaker 9: type of deal. But with him, you can tell that

910
00:40:28,640 --> 00:40:32,800
Speaker 9: he has done the work despite of him being injured

911
00:40:32,840 --> 00:40:36,280
Speaker 9: and out all this time, you can tell he's been studying.

912
00:40:36,600 --> 00:40:38,600
Speaker 10: He has not missed a beat.

913
00:40:38,640 --> 00:40:41,120
Speaker 9: I thought it would take some time for him to

914
00:40:41,280 --> 00:40:45,000
Speaker 9: slowly start transitioning back into the groove and all of that.

915
00:40:45,320 --> 00:40:49,080
Speaker 9: But no, he looks like he was up there last year.

916
00:40:49,239 --> 00:40:52,480
Speaker 9: Like he doesn't look like he just came back from

917
00:40:52,520 --> 00:40:57,080
Speaker 9: an injury. He looks great. His attitude, it's amazing. I

918
00:40:57,160 --> 00:40:59,560
Speaker 9: love you you guys know. I always talk about energy

919
00:40:59,600 --> 00:41:01,560
Speaker 9: and by and all that. He got all the right

920
00:41:01,640 --> 00:41:04,480
Speaker 9: vives and all the right attitude. So I'm super super

921
00:41:04,520 --> 00:41:08,399
Speaker 9: excited to see him playing actual football in a real

922
00:41:08,480 --> 00:41:12,200
Speaker 9: game outside of practice. And then for John Stevens, he's

923
00:41:12,200 --> 00:41:15,319
Speaker 9: a guy that caught many many eyes last training camp

924
00:41:15,360 --> 00:41:19,040
Speaker 9: and we were all excited. Very unfortunate injury, but similar

925
00:41:19,120 --> 00:41:20,920
Speaker 9: to what you were mentioning, Nick, I mean to me

926
00:41:21,040 --> 00:41:24,440
Speaker 9: right now, I haven't seen a whole lot from him,

927
00:41:24,719 --> 00:41:29,799
Speaker 9: so still I think mentally the injury may be kind

928
00:41:29,840 --> 00:41:33,960
Speaker 9: of affecting him a little bit more than with overshown.

929
00:41:34,120 --> 00:41:37,160
Speaker 9: But I think he's gonna put in the work and

930
00:41:37,160 --> 00:41:39,719
Speaker 9: I'm excited as well to see him in the preseason.

931
00:41:39,760 --> 00:41:41,640
Speaker 9: I think he has the talent, but he's just gonna

932
00:41:41,680 --> 00:41:43,360
Speaker 9: take him maybe a little bit longer.

933
00:41:43,400 --> 00:41:46,239
Speaker 8: I'm also trying to call back to last preseason and

934
00:41:46,320 --> 00:41:48,320
Speaker 8: last training camp when it came to John Stevens Junior,

935
00:41:48,360 --> 00:41:50,399
Speaker 8: and I don't feel like we really started talking about

936
00:41:50,440 --> 00:41:52,160
Speaker 8: him until about this point.

937
00:41:52,600 --> 00:41:55,960
Speaker 11: That's where I'm at right now, because you're right about

938
00:41:56,360 --> 00:41:58,520
Speaker 11: when you watch him run the routes, you can see

939
00:41:58,520 --> 00:42:01,040
Speaker 11: that he's getting confidence and his knee, the ability to

940
00:42:01,080 --> 00:42:03,800
Speaker 11: get up the field, sink, to go to the outside

941
00:42:03,800 --> 00:42:05,879
Speaker 11: to break and all that for a big, tall guy.

942
00:42:06,280 --> 00:42:10,760
Speaker 11: He does play with some bend. The concentration drops bother.

943
00:42:10,640 --> 00:42:11,959
Speaker 3: Me a little bit with this guy.

944
00:42:12,040 --> 00:42:14,840
Speaker 11: But I kind of felt like last year that we

945
00:42:14,880 --> 00:42:18,200
Speaker 11: were talking about him. You know, like this now we're

946
00:42:18,280 --> 00:42:20,920
Speaker 11: kind of like, okay, we's kind of here right now.

947
00:42:20,960 --> 00:42:23,880
Speaker 11: And so you know, but these these guys that have

948
00:42:23,960 --> 00:42:25,960
Speaker 11: come back from these knee injuries, it seems like it

949
00:42:26,000 --> 00:42:27,320
Speaker 11: has taken them some time.

950
00:42:27,960 --> 00:42:30,160
Speaker 3: Maybe that's something we should worry about too, with Digs

951
00:42:30,160 --> 00:42:30,680
Speaker 3: a little bit.

952
00:42:30,800 --> 00:42:34,600
Speaker 11: Yea, you know that it wasn't it, Oh, Steal Pollard,

953
00:42:34,800 --> 00:42:37,719
Speaker 11: all these guys that came back from knee and problems,

954
00:42:37,760 --> 00:42:40,160
Speaker 11: injury problems, it took them a little bit time to

955
00:42:40,200 --> 00:42:40,920
Speaker 11: get going, just.

956
00:42:40,960 --> 00:42:42,239
Speaker 4: Them guys around the league.

957
00:42:42,560 --> 00:42:45,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, I just feel like we just immediately think, yeah,

958
00:42:45,400 --> 00:42:46,319
Speaker 3: Diggs is gonna be an.

959
00:42:46,280 --> 00:42:48,440
Speaker 11: All, you know, and you're like, oh, he needs to

960
00:42:48,520 --> 00:42:50,080
Speaker 11: practice a little bit out here today.

961
00:42:50,160 --> 00:42:54,200
Speaker 3: You know. But I with Stevens, I could see it.

962
00:42:54,640 --> 00:42:56,879
Speaker 11: I can see it, and I'm looking forward to him

963
00:42:56,880 --> 00:43:00,600
Speaker 11: in these preseason games and stuff. Over I like what

964
00:43:00,640 --> 00:43:02,800
Speaker 11: you guys are saying about overshown. I'm kind of waiting

965
00:43:02,800 --> 00:43:04,040
Speaker 11: for him to really cut it loose.

966
00:43:04,760 --> 00:43:07,719
Speaker 3: He could be. He could be just.

967
00:43:07,680 --> 00:43:11,160
Speaker 11: As disruptive if as Michael Parson's is in a practice.

968
00:43:11,600 --> 00:43:13,359
Speaker 11: You know, he could be that kind of guy. There's

969
00:43:13,520 --> 00:43:15,000
Speaker 11: been some times where I was kind of like when

970
00:43:15,000 --> 00:43:17,960
Speaker 11: he's on the field, I'm thinking, Okay, he's just gonna

971
00:43:18,480 --> 00:43:20,359
Speaker 11: you can watch some nine on seven stuff and he'll

972
00:43:20,360 --> 00:43:23,359
Speaker 11: beat some blocks and like, okay. But then you get

973
00:43:23,360 --> 00:43:24,759
Speaker 11: in the team and I don't feel like I see

974
00:43:24,800 --> 00:43:28,560
Speaker 11: him in the teamwork as much doing those things I

975
00:43:28,600 --> 00:43:30,799
Speaker 11: do see him, So I think they're kind of trying

976
00:43:30,800 --> 00:43:34,200
Speaker 11: to get him going again. Yeah, he could play six

977
00:43:34,280 --> 00:43:37,239
Speaker 11: plays and make three tackles. That's the kind of ability

978
00:43:37,320 --> 00:43:40,399
Speaker 11: he has out here. And so I you know, I've

979
00:43:40,440 --> 00:43:45,000
Speaker 11: noticed Lufile a lot, I've noticed Clark a lot. I've

980
00:43:45,040 --> 00:43:48,560
Speaker 11: even you know, we talk about Willie Harvey, I've noticed him.

981
00:43:48,640 --> 00:43:52,759
Speaker 11: I mean, there's guys you're noticing, and I just I'm

982
00:43:52,800 --> 00:43:55,960
Speaker 11: just waiting for that time where I'm watching I'm watching

983
00:43:56,040 --> 00:43:59,759
Speaker 11: team and it might be in this Rams scrimmage coming up.

984
00:44:00,640 --> 00:44:03,440
Speaker 3: He's just flying downhill and making every single play.

985
00:44:04,160 --> 00:44:08,920
Speaker 11: But he's he is a really really He's helped himself

986
00:44:09,160 --> 00:44:12,319
Speaker 11: coming back from the injury with his physical conditioning and

987
00:44:12,360 --> 00:44:13,440
Speaker 11: that's made a big difference.

988
00:44:13,480 --> 00:44:13,759
Speaker 3: I think.

989
00:44:13,840 --> 00:44:16,040
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think the big thing for him is he

990
00:44:16,120 --> 00:44:19,040
Speaker 6: does have the ability, the luxury of being able to

991
00:44:19,120 --> 00:44:20,399
Speaker 6: kind of ease back in right.

992
00:44:20,520 --> 00:44:22,560
Speaker 4: I think that the drafting of Leaphile. I think you're

993
00:44:22,640 --> 00:44:23,920
Speaker 4: right seeing some things from him.

994
00:44:24,040 --> 00:44:25,919
Speaker 6: I think Damon Clark is having as good a camp

995
00:44:25,960 --> 00:44:29,080
Speaker 6: out here as almost anybody. So I think with him

996
00:44:29,120 --> 00:44:31,600
Speaker 6: and then obviously bringing in Eric Kendricks, I think you've

997
00:44:31,640 --> 00:44:34,840
Speaker 6: got guys that give Overshowing a little bit more of

998
00:44:34,880 --> 00:44:36,920
Speaker 6: a runway to be able to get himself ready and

999
00:44:37,000 --> 00:44:38,880
Speaker 6: to ease back into this thing. They're not counting on

1000
00:44:38,960 --> 00:44:42,040
Speaker 6: him necessarily to jump in and immediately be the top

1001
00:44:42,080 --> 00:44:44,200
Speaker 6: line guy here. He's got some time, he's got some

1002
00:44:44,920 --> 00:44:47,440
Speaker 6: ability to be able to work and work into it.

1003
00:44:47,680 --> 00:44:49,319
Speaker 4: All right, we appreciate you, guys. Jonna's so we are

1004

Speaker 4: back on Friday.

1005

1009
00:45:00,040 --> 00:45:02,120
Speaker 6: We're gonna have the understanding right now is we're going

1010
00:45:02,160 --> 00:45:04,840
Speaker 6: to have two different film crews on opposite sides of

1011
00:45:04,880 --> 00:45:07,480
Speaker 6: the field covering both parts of practice, so you'll get

1012
00:45:07,560 --> 00:45:09,920
Speaker 6: lots of insights on what's going on there till then.
