Speaker 1: The following is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com
Speaker 1: and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club. This he's Talking Cowboys,
Speaker 1: screaming live from the Dallas Cowboys World headquarters at the
Speaker 1: Star in Frisco. Sat. Here are Mickey Spagnola, Brian brought us,
Speaker 1: Rob Phillips and Bill Jones, and welcome into Talking Cowboys.
Speaker 1: Rob Phillips, Brian brought us Mickey Spagnola. Happy mondayed everybody
Speaker 1: out there. A couple more practices, a couple more open
Speaker 1: practices here at the Star in Frisco. And that's a
Speaker 1: rap for training camp twenty nineteen. Cowboys fresh off a
Speaker 1: thirty four to nothing preseason victory Zephyr, the Governor's Cup?
Speaker 1: Does that count? Break up the Cowboys? Yeah? Over the
Speaker 1: Houston week we get the Governor's Cup on this one.
Speaker 1: I didn't see an after game ceremony or anything like that.
Speaker 1: I don't think that qualifies. But it was a heck
Speaker 1: of a performance by your Cowboys. I believe it was
Speaker 1: the first home preseason shutout since nineteen seventy seven. You
Speaker 1: looked it up, Nick Eatman had that stat first shot
Speaker 1: out since twenty twelve. If I'm not right, if I'm old. Uh, yeah,
Speaker 1: it sounds right, sure Oakland. Okay, you know what happened
Speaker 1: in seventy seven man, Yeah, could be an omen mick
Speaker 1: or not. Let's not read too much into it. But well,
Speaker 1: we'll spend some time over the next hour kind of
Speaker 1: looking into that game. Who stood out, who separated themselves,
Speaker 1: who might have made the team based off of that performance.
Speaker 1: We'll also take questions off of periscope and uh, potentially
Speaker 1: some phone calls as well. So Kayton got that number ready?
Speaker 1: I don't know. He ignored me when I asked if
Speaker 1: you were taking calls today. I think you did that
Speaker 1: on purpose, he did. We might not be taking Go
Speaker 1: and give your cell phone number out there, Robert, and
Speaker 1: you just gotta give everybody an opportunity to give us
Speaker 1: a call. Sure, anytime now? You go first? Yeah, Rob's
Speaker 1: phone number is no. Who'd you like in this game
Speaker 1: the other night? Um? Pretty much everybody on defense? Defense
Speaker 1: playing pretty well? Guys, that first defense playing pretty well, Mickey,
Speaker 1: pretty pretty well. And it doesn't matter who you're playing
Speaker 1: against because they did what you should do, even if
Speaker 1: they got their slappies out there. Sure, so interesting word,
Speaker 1: he's not wrong. Get out there and do what you
Speaker 1: gotta do. And when you can create that many turnovers
Speaker 1: and that much pressure on an opposing quarterback, you're you're
Speaker 1: doing something right. So yeah, I thought that was awfully
Speaker 1: impressive from a team. As a whole. You know, you
Speaker 1: can look at and say, Okay, Tacco did this, Tacco
Speaker 1: did that, Carrie Hider did this or that, But as
Speaker 1: a whole, I thought they played together. The backside, the pressure,
Speaker 1: the blitz is takeaways, you couldn't beat it. I mean,
Speaker 1: it was just a total performance. And as the head
Speaker 1: coach said, we're not even close. Yeah, I think, to me,
Speaker 1: this is the second week in a row where your
Speaker 1: twos and threes were clearly better than someone else's twos
Speaker 1: and threes, which hasn't happened, not very often recently, Yeah,
Speaker 1: not very often. And you know those were two playoff teams,
Speaker 1: you know, the rams and then also then the detections.
Speaker 1: So the fact that you kind of took it your
Speaker 1: backups took it to them, and I was focusing on
Speaker 1: you know this, This secondary continues to impress me. It
Speaker 1: doesn't matter who they throw out there, you know, whether
Speaker 1: Woozier and Brown Lewis whoever they throw out there a Lumba.
Speaker 1: I mean these guys, I mean Wilson, these guys are
Speaker 1: gone out there and made some plays. They've done a
Speaker 1: really nice job of going in. Mickey's right about how
Speaker 1: they've attacked people. Yeah, and they mean that the front
Speaker 1: has done in the Front seven has done a really
Speaker 1: nice job those young kids. And I was talking to
Speaker 1: Rod Marinelli before the game, and I was asking him
Speaker 1: about I was asking about, you know, lining these guys
Speaker 1: up and now they still you know, you have he
Speaker 1: got an idea of who you're gonna keep and all that,
Speaker 1: he says. He goes, you know, no, He goes, no, Brian,
Speaker 1: I tell you, I tell you if I knew, And
Speaker 1: he goes, but I just want to see I got
Speaker 1: two more games. And he goes, And a lot of
Speaker 1: these guys are gonna get snaps. And I even asked
Speaker 1: him about Taco and he honestly said, you know. He says,
Speaker 1: Taco is improving and this is for the game. He says,
Speaker 1: Tacos improved. He says, but I want to see Taco
Speaker 1: be tougher. I want to see more toughness from him.
Speaker 1: He goes, I've told him this I got I want
Speaker 1: more toughness from you. And you know, I felt like, though,
Speaker 1: if you want to take something away from what Taco
Speaker 1: happened to the game, he got hurt and came back
Speaker 1: and tried to play in the game. Old Taco would
Speaker 1: have not done that. Old Taco would have gone over
Speaker 1: there and sat next to Britt Brown and Jim Mauer
Speaker 1: and figured out a way not to play the rest
Speaker 1: of that football game. But he came back in. Is
Speaker 1: it still enough? We'll see? I think some people have
Speaker 1: their opinion about what Taco is, but I know for
Speaker 1: a fact that there has been some improvement there. The
Speaker 1: coaches are noticing. No, is it enough We'll see here
Speaker 1: in about five or six days. Heck of a performance
Speaker 1: by him, and he's gotten a ton of reps in
Speaker 1: these first three preseason games. It can't. Yeah, he did,
Speaker 1: and he's got a lot more competition. You know. It's
Speaker 1: funny because we were talking about George Selvie last week
Speaker 1: and how there was a point in time when Rod
Speaker 1: Marinelli was running this defense where they were signing guys
Speaker 1: off the couch to come in here and just try
Speaker 1: and start in the middle of the season. And I
Speaker 1: think they've reached a point now where we're talking about
Speaker 1: you know, twelve thirteen guys that are like, wow, all
Speaker 1: these guys have at least enough talent to make an
Speaker 1: NFL rob. Yeah, their their pro department in college department
Speaker 1: is humming right now because they're doing a good job.
Speaker 1: And again that talks about continuity, you know, And I'll
Speaker 1: give Jason Garrett credit. I think Jason Garrett's one of
Speaker 1: the best evaluating coaches that I've seen. I mean, it
Speaker 1: was with Parcels and guys like that, but as far
Speaker 1: as evaluating talent and know what they need, I think
Speaker 1: he does a really good job with that evaluation side
Speaker 1: of it. He knows what kind of get players. But
Speaker 1: it's continuity. You got continuity with the scheme, you got
Speaker 1: continuity with the coaching staff. You've got continuity that kind
Speaker 1: of helps you be able to build the team the
Speaker 1: right way. And you got a head coach that understands personnel.
Speaker 1: And I don't give him nearly enough credit for his
Speaker 1: personnel the hat that he wears, because this roster is
Speaker 1: clearly better with some of his influence here. Well, it's
Speaker 1: better because oh they took Bill Jones's headset away. Oh no,
Speaker 1: Bill Jones is here, Katon Bill Jones is here, headset back, Yeah,
Speaker 1: he can listen to us for now, I can hear you.
Speaker 1: He could hear us, Sam headset Yeah, take a phone call.
Speaker 1: That's one of those phone calls that you got to
Speaker 1: take or else you're playing phone tag rest of the
Speaker 1: Afterno glad you could make it. You know, it's funny
Speaker 1: I'm listening to I mean, we're just talking about Taco
Speaker 1: and stuff, and then I just looked down at the
Speaker 1: periscope and people are saying Taco got coverage sacks. They
Speaker 1: don't want to give a guy credit for I mean,
Speaker 1: his first sack was total effort. Sure, I mean he
Speaker 1: beat two guys to get to the go to get
Speaker 1: to get the sack. So people not again you have
Speaker 1: he even said it. We played the clip during the broadcast.
Speaker 1: You either have people he's gonna he's got people either
Speaker 1: gonna be with him or people that are against him.
Speaker 1: So no, yeah, I mean, and I just it's unfortunately
Speaker 1: a guy can have a good two or three plays
Speaker 1: in a game, you know, but we we say, no,
Speaker 1: I was coverage sack. He's not that good of a player.
Speaker 1: He can't do that. I mean we've watched him now
Speaker 1: for a month just about he's gotten better you can
Speaker 1: say which he's gotten better and day after days been there.
Speaker 1: To Brian's point, he's been productive in practice. This has
Speaker 1: just been a carry over to that. Now, Mick, do
Speaker 1: you have any kind of update on what is it
Speaker 1: was an ankle? I didn't. It was an ankle or knee.
Speaker 1: So when we left, when I walked him towards the
Speaker 1: training room, he said, yeah, I'm going to get it
Speaker 1: checked out. And I said ankle or knee. He goes yeah. Oh,
Speaker 1: he goes, I don't know if I'm supposed to say.
Speaker 1: And I said, so, you're gonna throw the hockey term
Speaker 1: at me, lower lower body body injury and he goes, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's what it is, the lower body injury. He took
Speaker 1: a big shot on that knee. Hey, look, he didn't
Speaker 1: get coverage sacks before, right, Okay, yeah, he didn't get any.
Speaker 1: So you know he's making steps in the right direction.
Speaker 1: And you've got to remember that if they get rid
Speaker 1: of him, either cut him or trade him, he's going
Speaker 1: to count three and a half million dollars in dead
Speaker 1: money against the cap immediately immediately, So be careful how
Speaker 1: you're cutting your team already. I don't know if people
Speaker 1: are saying they're going to do that. I think he
Speaker 1: made some comments after the first preseason game of they
Speaker 1: were kind of cryptic. It was like very It was like,
Speaker 1: you know, I'm trying to dominate out on the field,
Speaker 1: but I talked to my agent all the time and
Speaker 1: we kind of know the situation, and you know, it
Speaker 1: was kind of like, Okay, what do you mean by that? Yeah,
Speaker 1: and I'm sure he knows. Look, he's looking at this
Speaker 1: step chart. He knows it's the it's the most competition
Speaker 1: he's faced since he's been here, the most depth they've had.
Speaker 1: But based on performance Promacy had the other night, I
Speaker 1: think he's in position to make this team. Yeah, but
Speaker 1: a lot of people look at it that he's also
Speaker 1: at a position where he raised his trade stock. But again,
Speaker 1: when you look at those numbers, but yeah, you're right.
Speaker 1: When you're trying to sign a bunch of guys and
Speaker 1: you need all the cap space you got, you need
Speaker 1: to do it right. You better be careful. Just thrown
Speaker 1: away cap money. They don't care about Jerry's money, but
Speaker 1: cap money is important. I asked Mickey and it's the
Speaker 1: ankle on Taco so ankle. That's what they're working on,
Speaker 1: all right, A lot of those lines at the defensive
Speaker 1: end position. Tyrone Crawford, Right, he's came off pup and
Speaker 1: so he's ready to go. He's a team captain type
Speaker 1: on this team. But when you look at the salary
Speaker 1: cap situation his now he would count for four million
Speaker 1: or so dead money if but it's six million that
Speaker 1: they would say basically that's his salary, his base salary
Speaker 1: for this year. Yeah, set Tacos is guaranteed, right, That's
Speaker 1: why he's that's more later draft Crowfits is it guaranteed?
Speaker 1: First round? He's got two years left on his deal
Speaker 1: and right, But but anyway, I don't know. I don't
Speaker 1: know how you cut Crawfit. I don't either. I don't,
Speaker 1: But I wasn't. I wasn't trying to attack you, Bill.
Speaker 1: I understand what you were trying to maybe maybe if
Speaker 1: you're talking about moving money or giving money or saving money.
Speaker 1: I just think I think that they've got this situation
Speaker 1: in a good spot with these defensive linemen. And if
Speaker 1: it means if it means Crawfits, you're start Okay, you
Speaker 1: got Quinn out for a couple of weeks because of
Speaker 1: the suspension. I have no problem throwing Doword's Armstrong in
Speaker 1: a game right now. I really don't the way I
Speaker 1: mean the way him if you'd say he could play
Speaker 1: as a rotational rusher. No, yeah. If Crawford starts and
Speaker 1: I have to play somebody at right end, I'll play.
Speaker 1: I'll play Lawrence at right as to me Armstrong Armstrong
Speaker 1: at right end, but you're hider, but you can hide
Speaker 1: them at at left end because the first game you're
Speaker 1: not going to send to Marcus Lawrence out there and
Speaker 1: play sixty five snaps. No. I'm just saying, though, if if, if, if,
Speaker 1: people are talking about getting rid again Bill, I'm not
Speaker 1: talking about it. I'm just saying, if you're one of
Speaker 1: these folks that's thinking, let's move on from Crawford, I
Speaker 1: understand if you want to do this in the in
Speaker 1: the spring next I you know, if you want to
Speaker 1: have that discussion, great, But right now he's one of
Speaker 1: my better I mean, I understand why he I never
Speaker 1: thought he wasn't going to start. I mean, everybody's like, oh,
Speaker 1: Robert Quinn. They traded for Robert Quinn in my opinion,
Speaker 1: because they had not signed Lawrence yet. That's why they
Speaker 1: I felt like they were going to protect themselves. But
Speaker 1: I never thought Quinn was going to be the starter,
Speaker 1: right in. Never thought that he's the pass rusher over there. Yes,
Speaker 1: and then you kick Crawford inside to let him play
Speaker 1: with with Collins. Yeah. Now you got Kerrie Hyder who
Speaker 1: can also go inside and rush. Sure, absolutely, And and
Speaker 1: Tristan Hills starting to take some steps forward. He may
Speaker 1: have put the menu down in the in the dining
Speaker 1: car right now. Arnelly said something about him last week.
Speaker 1: He noticed something different in his pad level, his technique
Speaker 1: in the second half the Rams game, right, and he
Speaker 1: carried it over to practice. So Hill Hill, Yeah, and
Speaker 1: that's part of a rookie evaluation. Can you can you
Speaker 1: get that technique down to where he can finish plays
Speaker 1: and you know, get up the field. He's getting a
Speaker 1: lot of reps he needs. He just needs a little confidence.
Speaker 1: And I think this game and did him wonders making
Speaker 1: that play early against the Texans. I think it was
Speaker 1: their first line, how many although their first line is
Speaker 1: a lot like his second. Yes, I know that is
Speaker 1: a problem. Boy on talking Texans, Well, I was talking
Speaker 1: about that offensive line, especially at left tackle. I mean,
Speaker 1: he signed Matt Kale and he hadn't been out there
Speaker 1: yet and he didn't play last year due to a
Speaker 1: knee injury. And all right, so how many defensive linemen
Speaker 1: are you keeping? Usually about ten? Ten? Yeah? I counted
Speaker 1: up the obvious ones and I got nine, not counting
Speaker 1: Robert Quinn because they'll be on the right reserve for
Speaker 1: quit weeks. Yeah, so the end, So you want to
Speaker 1: run down those obvious ones, I will stop from the
Speaker 1: top in alphabetic No, I guess it's starters, it's number order.
Speaker 1: How was that number order? Hyder, Tristan Hill, DeMarcus Lawrence Armstrong,
Speaker 1: Christian Covington, MALIEK Collins, Taco Crawford, and Woods. All right,
Speaker 1: so was there a Joe Jackson in there? He was
Speaker 1: my question mark and jokes, and I think he's practice squad. Okay,
Speaker 1: so how many did you get that? That was nine?
Speaker 1: He got nine? Yeah, so ten with Joe Jackson. It
Speaker 1: would be ten with Joe Jackson. Quinn on two games suspension,
Speaker 1: got Quinn on two games suspension. Yeah, And then I
Speaker 1: got to decide if Daniel Ross makes this team or not. No,
Speaker 1: but I think Covington, I don't see you there, right, No,
Speaker 1: I think I think I think your list is really good,
Speaker 1: and I think I think that it's either this is
Speaker 1: gonna sound crazy again because we just talked seven minutes
Speaker 1: about this man, but I think it's gonna if you're
Speaker 1: talking about the final two guys, it's Taco and it's
Speaker 1: also Joe Jackson. Those are the two guys I think
Speaker 1: Joe Jackson is. I think Joe Jackson is either nine
Speaker 1: or ten on their list, fifth round draft pick who
Speaker 1: showed well, I can have them both right now? Yeah, right.
Speaker 1: Every time Jerry's asked about a young player, he mentions
Speaker 1: Joe Jackson. Ultimately does he make the team? Doesn't mean
Speaker 1: he will, but I think Joe Jackson's on this team too. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I mean, but then there's ten bas what the Cowboys
Speaker 1: owner's last GM says, Yeah, yeah, they love his motor,
Speaker 1: his power rushing, maybe maybe some position flex. And so
Speaker 1: with those ten that included four D tackles meaning Woods, Collins, Cuddington,
Speaker 1: and Hill, and then you've got two D ends and
Speaker 1: Hyder and Crawford Russia. It's a good balance there. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know where you get a four four defensive tackles
Speaker 1: and four defensive ends and two guys that can go
Speaker 1: either way. Yeah, I figured that out. All right, let's go. No, No,
Speaker 1: it's always about the flexibility with Marinelli and those guys.
Speaker 1: It's just you know, hey, what do I Yeah, that's
Speaker 1: why I was kind of arguing, not arguing. I was
Speaker 1: saying the thing about Crawford. You know, Crawford is gonna
Speaker 1: play a lot of snaps for it. He's gonna help
Speaker 1: you at that right in be solid over there playing
Speaker 1: the run. He's gonna help you if you have to
Speaker 1: play the nickel because you could put him inside and
Speaker 1: run games with him where he's a penetrator and it
Speaker 1: allows these ends. You know, he takes the blocks because
Speaker 1: he's got power. You know, he's gonna penetrate. Take somebody
Speaker 1: with him, and he's gonna get He's gonna get Jalen
Speaker 1: Smith home on a rush. He's gonna get Layton vandersh
Speaker 1: home on a rush. He's gonna get one of those
Speaker 1: in home on a rush. And that's why I mentioned
Speaker 1: Tyrone Crawford and his salary, because if Tyrone Crawford wasn't
Speaker 1: a player that they really liked and brought that kind
Speaker 1: of value that would be a salary that you could
Speaker 1: move and it would benefit the salary as far as
Speaker 1: your cap goes and so forth. But he's too valuable.
Speaker 1: I think he's too valuable. I think people. And again
Speaker 1: I'm not I didn't think you were going down the
Speaker 1: line of cutting the guy. I think it was okay
Speaker 1: if you have to say, but I've got this defensive
Speaker 1: line like I want it, I do. And my point
Speaker 1: on it is, be careful the moves that you're making.
Speaker 1: You've got a position of strength right there, as trade
Speaker 1: way a player or cutting a guy because oh, we
Speaker 1: got so many guys that we can make rooms someplace
Speaker 1: else all of a sudden, that position of strength and numbers,
Speaker 1: and it can be the opposite very quick. In this league.
Speaker 1: What year was it was maybe in twenty fifteen where
Speaker 1: they went through like twenty defensive line because of injuries.
Speaker 1: Right right now, I absolutely agree with you, so uh
Speaker 1: and who knows, maybe they keep eleven when Quinn comes back.
Speaker 1: You never know how it works out. Yeah, And a
Speaker 1: lot of times some decisions take care of themselves because
Speaker 1: injuries do happen. And when I said last week on
Speaker 1: the show, you know if Noel Brown winds up starting
Speaker 1: the season on pop at receiver, Mickey had that from
Speaker 1: the word going, there was a good get Nikki, I
Speaker 1: don't feel like, you know, it has to be six
Speaker 1: wide receivers. And I'm the first thing I'm thinking about
Speaker 1: is all these defensive linemen that are worthy of making
Speaker 1: an NFL team and so not necessarily Cedric Wilson and
Speaker 1: Devin Smith making this team. And they were just I mean,
Speaker 1: it was like they were competing against each other within
Speaker 1: that game, just back and forth, back and forth, and
Speaker 1: I don't know, I mean, it may come down to
Speaker 1: one or the other because they want to keep an
Speaker 1: extra guy somewhere else, maybe d line. There's a reception
Speaker 1: by Devin's that's a point for him. And now hero
Speaker 1: Cedric Wilson on a punt return, that's a point for him.
Speaker 1: I'm serious. Yeah, it's like a back and forth we
Speaker 1: go pretty good stuff and back and forth we go

Speaker 1: Get your tickets now at SeatGeek dot com, the official
Speaker 1: ticketing provider of ATNT Stadium. There's a quarterback you might
Speaker 1: be interested in watching in that game at AT and
Speaker 1: T Stadium. We had a lot of quarterbacks. You know,
Speaker 1: we kind of in the pre show we were talking
Speaker 1: about the Colts and they're in a situation where they
Speaker 1: might have to get an opportunity to draft. Colts have
Speaker 1: been pretty fortune in their lives. They've drafted Elway, they've
Speaker 1: drafted Manning, They've draft you know, I mean luck and luck. Yeah,
Speaker 1: pretty good, pretty good run a quarterbacks. So the quarterback
Speaker 1: he stayed because his brother was going to be a
Speaker 1: freshman in Oregon, right, I forgot his name, Herbert's quarter Yes, Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's pretty good. Yeah, he would have been a first
Speaker 1: round pick, he might have been higher than on some
Speaker 1: of these other guys. Yeah, and we're getting all that
Speaker 1: when we get the draft show this spring. But yeah,
Speaker 1: that's a it's a really good class of quarterbacks that
Speaker 1: overall around the country. So yeah, if you're a team
Speaker 1: that maybe needs one of those quarterbacks, and we'll get
Speaker 1: into that in springtime. Speaking of quarterbacks, Cooper Rush was
Speaker 1: pretty dark and good. He was good. Yes, he was good.
Speaker 1: He continues to do things to give you hope that
Speaker 1: if he had to play a little bit, that he
Speaker 1: could move the team function to give him a chance
Speaker 1: behind the first line and not have to get in
Speaker 1: there with all the other guys kind of running for
Speaker 1: his life. And and if you just and he did
Speaker 1: it again, if you just watched the way he dropped
Speaker 1: back to pass, he looked like he was in command
Speaker 1: of himself, like I got this. You see the field
Speaker 1: pretty well? Yeah, And he was seeing and he wasn't
Speaker 1: rushing him. It was almost like the game slowed down
Speaker 1: for him. He's not afraid to go down the field
Speaker 1: and that's been the biggest difference between him and Mike White. Now,
Speaker 1: Mike White had a nice drive there in the second half,
Speaker 1: that was the best drive he's had by far. But yeah,
Speaker 1: I think Jerry said that's the best he's seeing Cooper
Speaker 1: rush play, and so he's put this backup competition to rest. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I mean we've been talking about they're carrying two quarterbacks.
Speaker 1: We've talked about that. You know it was going to
Speaker 1: be when we started off in this journey in training camp,
Speaker 1: we talked about, oh well it is it two or
Speaker 1: three quarterbacks. Cooper Rushes will be the second quarterback and
Speaker 1: then we'll see, we'll see if they may keep that
Speaker 1: Terran Christian. Yeah, but he can do versatile because he
Speaker 1: can do so many different Yeah. I think he's more
Speaker 1: a practice squad. I think he's no, I'm in a
Speaker 1: practice yeah. Yeah, no, no, but not necessarily. As a
Speaker 1: really started swimming, I was like, Okay to him, he's
Speaker 1: gonna be he's gonna be Jamil Showers. You're gonna play
Speaker 1: safety play, you know, And it was kind of nice
Speaker 1: of him to let him least go out there and
Speaker 1: give him. I don't think they were gonna want him
Speaker 1: do that, to be honest with you, but they did.
Speaker 1: Mike White needs to play this whole game next time.
Speaker 1: You know, if you lose him, You lose him. That's
Speaker 1: part of part you know, in another one. You know,
Speaker 1: isn't it interesting though when you look at what Cooper
Speaker 1: Rush did his rookie year in the preseason and and
Speaker 1: I think most everyone felt like, yeah, okay, he's showing
Speaker 1: a little something. And then it seemed like it seemed
Speaker 1: like maybe it just wasn't the opportunities last year. My
Speaker 1: memory is he took a step back last year, okay,
Speaker 1: and you had Mike White there, and now he's come
Speaker 1: on again this year. So maybe with with him Mike White,
Speaker 1: all right, he showed a little something his rookie year,
Speaker 1: step back this time, and maybe I think he got
Speaker 1: spooped by Mike White getting drafted. Yeah, I think that effected.
Speaker 1: It's like, wait a minute, I was the I but
Speaker 1: basically made Kellen Moore a coach. You know, I may
Speaker 1: have played well enough my rookie year that they made
Speaker 1: Kellen Moore that guy. And then also, whoa, they just
Speaker 1: trapped a guy. And everybody's talking about Mike White and
Speaker 1: this and that, you know, guys like myself. And next
Speaker 1: day I think it affected him last year, I really do.
Speaker 1: And then he came out he said listen, I've seen
Speaker 1: Mike White play. I'm not going to worry about Mike
Speaker 1: White any morning. He went out and started playing better. Yeah.
Speaker 1: And it made a good comment too afterwards about not
Speaker 1: worrying about the hole, just worrying about this play and
Speaker 1: this play and this play. And that's the way he played.
Speaker 1: And you know what he should have had. He should
Speaker 1: have had another touchdown in that drive. If it look
Speaker 1: the umpire, I think he thought he was getting paid
Speaker 1: for how many times he threw his flag, Jeff Rice.
Speaker 1: Those a lot of flags during the year. I've never
Speaker 1: seen so many holding calls that you kind of looked
Speaker 1: at and you go, huh. And the one on Witton, seriously,
Speaker 1: I don't know. I was blogging the back. No, it wasn't.
Speaker 1: He pushed the guy. Well, you can't do that, but
Speaker 1: he had already. That's even blocked the guy for five
Speaker 1: seconds and he finally said get out of here. The
Speaker 1: problem is he pushed him towards the direction of the ball.
Speaker 1: That's the No, he pushed him away from the ball.
Speaker 1: The ball was to his right, and he pushed him
Speaker 1: to the leg. Get into the call. Blocking the block
Speaker 1: in the back. It was blocking the back I couldn't
Speaker 1: thank you from the radio booth. It looked like blocking
Speaker 1: the back to me. Right, Well, when I went back
Speaker 1: and looked at on TV, didn't looked like a block
Speaker 1: in the back to me. And and what say about it? Oh?
Speaker 1: He went running after the after you talked to me
Speaker 1: about Now after they scored, he went straight to the
Speaker 1: guy and talked to him. Oh yeah, well you could
Speaker 1: talk to Mickey. Are they could? It's preseason. There's always
Speaker 1: a lot of flags. Move on. If it costs him
Speaker 1: a game in September, then it's okay. I can wear
Speaker 1: my white hat. More takeaways from Saturday other than the
Speaker 1: ump and jeff Rice had a rough day. Um, I
Speaker 1: think that we when before you here, we were talking
Speaker 1: with the twos and three did a nice job against
Speaker 1: there two second week in a row. We had twos
Speaker 1: and threes play well. I liked some of the stuff
Speaker 1: where I always loved the plays to Tavon Austin down
Speaker 1: the field like that. I love it when you know
Speaker 1: we've seen that before. That's one of those players where
Speaker 1: they moved the pocket, but Cooper Rush didn't really move
Speaker 1: very much. Throws the ball down the field. Rob said
Speaker 1: it the back and forth between. I went back and
Speaker 1: charted those two receivers and how much special teams they played.
Speaker 1: Both of them were flyers, both of them were on
Speaker 1: the kickoff team. One was returning punts, you know, so
Speaker 1: you got they were trying to find opportunities for those guys.
Speaker 1: I felt if you said, okay, who is the better,
Speaker 1: more aggressive player on special teams when it came to
Speaker 1: the flyer's it's Devin Smith. Devin Smith has a little
Speaker 1: bit better feel. But then all of a sudden, you
Speaker 1: punt the ball to Cedric Wilson, and now that ball
Speaker 1: is coming around the corner up the field, and all
Speaker 1: he the second one he could he could have busted too.
Speaker 1: So yeah, I think you have to look at Joe Thomas.
Speaker 1: I'm going a lot of different places. YEA one more
Speaker 1: thing on on on Cedric Wilson. Not only did he
Speaker 1: return one, not one. Well when he was catching. When
Speaker 1: he was catching the punt, you weren't sitting there going
Speaker 1: is he gonna catch it? Because he looked like he
Speaker 1: had confidence in himself. Yeah, okay, I like the North South. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Joe Thomas is another good one. I mean, like Joe Thomas.
Speaker 1: We talk about how loaded this linebacker corps is and
Speaker 1: I don't think we always talk about the top three
Speaker 1: and we don't really get past that. I mean, this
Speaker 1: is a guy that started games in the NFL. If
Speaker 1: I was on another team, if I was on another NFL,
Speaker 1: if I was impersonnel, I would try. I would try
Speaker 1: and trade for Joe Thomas. How much would you give
Speaker 1: up for him? I would consider give him up a
Speaker 1: fifth round pick for Joe Thomas, and I would not
Speaker 1: give up Joe and I would not because he can
Speaker 1: back up all three spots there. He goes see now
Speaker 1: that he's a core special teams guy there so quick.
Speaker 1: He should have He should also had a pick six
Speaker 1: in this game too, if your memory kind of under
Speaker 1: undercut a route and had both hands on the ball
Speaker 1: and could have got there with it. But you know, seriously,
Speaker 1: if you want to watch guys play on defense and
Speaker 1: you're thinking, okay, how can we offer something to get
Speaker 1: us starter from you are you're always looking to try
Speaker 1: and get a starter. Joe Thomas starts in almost every scheme,
Speaker 1: every scheme he could play in. And then you said,
Speaker 1: and then you put in the special team stuff. You
Speaker 1: guys are right, they're not going to give Joe Thomas
Speaker 1: up after with you know Sean Lee being banged up
Speaker 1: all the time. He doesn't cost you much. That's what
Speaker 1: I'm saying. I would trade, I would trade. Maybe I
Speaker 1: have to offer a third round pick. Joe Thomas kes
Speaker 1: me to get my attention, but I'll get your attention
Speaker 1: with a third Maybe where do you get c J
Speaker 1: Goodwin on this team? See? This is where I thought
Speaker 1: that c J. Goodwin helped himself because I had doubts
Speaker 1: that CJ. Goodwin could make plays and as a corner.
Speaker 1: The play he made on the first punt, the first
Speaker 1: punt coverage to tackle the returner, there was a great
Speaker 1: play on his part. But I'm thinking, can this guy cover?
Speaker 1: Am I keeping a guy just because he could play
Speaker 1: special teams? Well? He went out, he gets the interception,
Speaker 1: He looked better in coverage, he looked more comfortable, he
Speaker 1: got to some balls. You know, I felt better about
Speaker 1: him as a complete player instead of just being a
Speaker 1: special teams player. Because I was trying to figure out, Okay,
Speaker 1: Donovan Alumba, how do I okay, how do I with
Speaker 1: some how do I with Mike Jackson? Mike Jackson is
Speaker 1: going to be a big, big, big question mark for
Speaker 1: them because you haven't really seen him, you haven't seen
Speaker 1: him play, and it's it's the same. He does not
Speaker 1: have the same latitude as Connor McGovern has. Right, Connor
Speaker 1: McGovern is gonna well, but Connor McGovern's gonna practice today
Speaker 1: and tomorrow and then that's going to be determined if
Speaker 1: he can, if they're going to carry him or not.
Speaker 1: That's the understanding I have. So Mike Jackson, I think
Speaker 1: he's on the street. There's there's basically six I think
Speaker 1: guys that are for sure in the secondary. And then
Speaker 1: I got question mark on Darren Thompson, C. J. Goodwin. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they'll tell you he's on the team. Mickey that Thompson,
Speaker 1: Frazier and Jackson. If we're talking about special teams, we
Speaker 1: just talked about what the young wide receivers did. Goodwin
Speaker 1: gives you a lot in that area. I'm sure Keith
Speaker 1: oil Quinn would like to have him. Now, the question
Speaker 1: is how do you make it work and see and
Speaker 1: that whole thing about special teamer guys it now it's
Speaker 1: just I get it because we kick the ball out
Speaker 1: of the end zone and we we can directional punt
Speaker 1: and how how do you have to have these guy yet?
Speaker 1: Do you have to question do you have to have
Speaker 1: five guys on your roster just so that because they
Speaker 1: play special And I'm not busting I'm just saying here,
Speaker 1: that's the problem I have. It used to be special
Speaker 1: teams coach. We're coming to me and go, we I've
Speaker 1: got to have this guy. I've got to have this
Speaker 1: guy got Okay, Then I watch him punk the ball
Speaker 1: out of bounce and then I watch him put it
Speaker 1: through the end zone, and I'm going, Okay, you got
Speaker 1: five guys running down the field that don't help me on.
Speaker 1: Here's what I love about this conversation right here is
Speaker 1: we've got a special teams coach right here who wants
Speaker 1: that guy out of special teams, and we've got a
Speaker 1: physician coach who wants to keep a guy, say, an
Speaker 1: offensive lineman. Okay, We've got Mark Colombo here, and Mark
Speaker 1: Colombo saying, dude, how important are special teams? Now? Right?
Speaker 1: I have I don't get to keep an extra offensive
Speaker 1: tackle because you gotta have CJ. Goodwin. We gotta put
Speaker 1: McGovern on IR for the season because because you gotta
Speaker 1: keep a guy who might and McGovern might not help you,
Speaker 1: but I think I think that to me government play tackle,
Speaker 1: I don't think so, Mickey. I've seen him play center
Speaker 1: and guard at Penn State. I don't fee. I'll keep
Speaker 1: saying it. They need a backup tackle. Well that that okay,
Speaker 1: here we go, now here we go. It's list fifty
Speaker 1: two guys, and let's try and claim somebody, or let's
Speaker 1: you know, if you're telling me, if you're telling me
Speaker 1: Jake Campos or somebody at the Buccaneers or Saints or
Speaker 1: Minnesota Vikings, I think I'm going that route. They signed
Speaker 1: Cam Fleming to a two year day. They did with
Speaker 1: some decent money. They did give up one of those
Speaker 1: defensive alignment for a tackle swing tackle. Yes, I don't
Speaker 1: disagree with him, especially with the situation. Tyrn Smith is
Speaker 1: in Yeah did you see that? Huh? Yeah, No, he's
Speaker 1: not wrong. If we continue with more talking cowboys at
Speaker 1: a moment, your new apartment's big, such a great deal. Yeah,

Speaker 1: out to Will McClay the way this the Cowboys have
Speaker 1: options here. We approach cutdown Day on Saturday. Daryl Johnson
Speaker 1: was talking about it during the game, how impressed he
Speaker 1: is with the guys like the Joe Thomas's like the
Speaker 1: carry hiders, like the Christian Covington's college guys doing a
Speaker 1: good job that that the makeup of this team with
Speaker 1: those those veteran type players and Alfred Morris even you
Speaker 1: know where these are guys are right kind of guys
Speaker 1: who are great examples for the young guys coming in
Speaker 1: on how to be a professional in this league too. Yeah, No,
Speaker 1: I think that you have to have you have to
Speaker 1: have an understanding of what your roster needs. And I
Speaker 1: think the Cowboys doing a nice job with going out
Speaker 1: and especially We've talked about this a bunch, the offensive
Speaker 1: line the way it is, the backups with veteran guys,
Speaker 1: now you evaluate your quarterback. Now you see guys like
Speaker 1: Jordan Chun. Now you get to see both receivers go
Speaker 1: for tat on each other making plays. So I mean,
Speaker 1: if you if you don't have the type of roster
Speaker 1: where with those the mix of the young and veteran guys,
Speaker 1: you can't really evaluate your team. And I applaud them
Speaker 1: for that. I get more excited about watching the second
Speaker 1: halves of some of these games, these preseason games, and
Speaker 1: I know it looks crazy out there and it's holding
Speaker 1: and whatever penalty is going on. But at least you're
Speaker 1: getting to evaluate guys this this next game is going
Speaker 1: to some jobs are clearly and I'm not just hyping it.
Speaker 1: There's some clearly some jobs on the line you're and
Speaker 1: some spots on the line as well. I wish someone
Speaker 1: would do some research on the number of players who
Speaker 1: get cut okay on Saturday, who eventually during this see
Speaker 1: what the percentage is of those players who actually will
Speaker 1: be on a game day roster during the season, because
Speaker 1: I bet you that that percentage is way up there. Well.
Speaker 1: And so there are guys that are playing on Thursday,
Speaker 1: and people who don't follow it that closely is oh,
Speaker 1: these guys are gonna be working at home depot. No,
Speaker 1: it's not true, practice squads and stuff like that. Yeah.
Speaker 1: And the other thing about these preseason games not account
Speaker 1: it too much, but but the NFL does not have
Speaker 1: a minor league. And basically what these preseason games, the
Speaker 1: second half of the games we've seen the last couple
Speaker 1: of weeks, and then the whole game on Thursday, This,
Speaker 1: in essence, is the NFL's minor league. R acts the XFL.
Speaker 1: I think the NFL has did a great thing by
Speaker 1: keeping the final cut being a final cut, the going
Speaker 1: down to seventy five and then going down there. No,
Speaker 1: I mean I wish I was involved where it was
Speaker 1: keep all ninety guys the whole time. If you're a
Speaker 1: head makes it makes it more exciting to try and
Speaker 1: guys still have an opportunity. It does, And that's seventy
Speaker 1: five cut was so hard for head coaches because if
Speaker 1: you're not playing your starters in this last game, right,
Speaker 1: and you got to figure out how to get enough
Speaker 1: guys in the game to get through it. Well, that's
Speaker 1: how you decided who you cut, because you had to
Speaker 1: keep enough guys able to get through the game. Sometime,
Speaker 1: this guy's not going to make the team, but I
Speaker 1: need an offensive guard to get through this game. Do
Speaker 1: you not think these agents today are telling these young
Speaker 1: guys that are probably not gonna get cut, Hey, you
Speaker 1: better put some good tape out there because you get
Speaker 1: a job in the XFL. I mean Ryl Johnson sitting
Speaker 1: there watching the question, right, no question, A bunch of
Speaker 1: these guys could get through the notes. He was marking
Speaker 1: up his flip card. Did he wrap your your little
Speaker 1: board there? Yeah? I see you didn't go to the
Speaker 1: game without it. You know what happened last week in Hawaii.
Speaker 1: You know how bad the traffic was, sure, whatever, And
Speaker 1: so I get on the team bus. I look at
Speaker 1: my briefcase and all right, here all my notes. You're
Speaker 1: blocking your mic Yeah, all right, I think it's not
Speaker 1: filled out yet for okay, yeah, I left the hotel room.
Speaker 1: I did not have it for the game that Yeah,
Speaker 1: but I've always I've always said the way I stayed
Speaker 1: for games and the way I used to study for
Speaker 1: tests way back when in college, if I wrote it down,
Speaker 1: I remember it, And so I put it to the
Speaker 1: ultimate test in Hawaii last week, where and I was
Speaker 1: pulling out things. I was like, wow, I can't believe
Speaker 1: I remembered that about that player. And the game was
Speaker 1: also over, like at one in the morning, right, so
Speaker 1: we probably didn't have the art because no, I was elbowing.
Speaker 1: I'm saying, hey, Mill, don't forget this. Oh mickey was
Speaker 1: your Yeah? Yeah, so what did you do it this week? Yeah?
Speaker 1: You made the board? Oh sure, I've made you brought
Speaker 1: every time, and you brought with the key? Is I
Speaker 1: remembered to bring it? You had to bring it with you?
Speaker 1: Left it on my hotel room desk last week. So
Speaker 1: all right, final minutes here of talking cowboys. Hey Bill, Yes,
Speaker 1: they're working out a couple of tight ends today. Tyrone
Speaker 1: swoops former University of Texas quarterback and then a guy
Speaker 1: named Zach conk c O n q U E is
Speaker 1: that con q is that? Would you say that? Are
Speaker 1: you that Cody McElroy stinger came back? Yes? So yes,
Speaker 1: And they don't want to play Witten in the game,
Speaker 1: right and if they're not going to play the other
Speaker 1: two about our Missouri Lucas to play sixty five now,
Speaker 1: no practice squad eligibly for Lucas. By the way, I
Speaker 1: can't imagine he'll move on. He's only been in the
Speaker 1: league five years. He's been on ten teams, so yeah,
Speaker 1: that would make sense now eleven and two of them twice. Yeah. Oh,
Speaker 1: by the way, it sounds like Byron Jones is on
Speaker 1: his way back to practice here. Yeah, they've got officially
Speaker 1: move him off of pup, but he's still counts towards
Speaker 1: ninety if if he is back, and it sounds like
Speaker 1: he would be, guys, time crossing out right, they'll probably
Speaker 1: work him back in limited like they did tank and
Speaker 1: then they have to cut somebody. Okay, no, he resigned.
Speaker 1: They whatever. Pep. By the way, Tyrone Swoops was with
Speaker 1: the Seahawks, yes, and he was waived injured and was
Speaker 1: on August third, released on August fourteenth, So I'm not
Speaker 1: what he's not sure what he had. But does that
Speaker 1: mean to back up deep Snappers out of here? Although
Speaker 1: then LP has to play the whole game. No, they'll
Speaker 1: figure out something. There's got one the other kicker, Yeah,
Speaker 1: the other kicker. There you get still you still want
Speaker 1: LP snapping? You have you made up your mind on
Speaker 1: your kicker? Oh? Yeah, you mean Red? You know? No,
Speaker 1: you have you made up your mind on Maher? Oh
Speaker 1: yeah he's here. Yeah, okay, you've made up your mind. Yeah.
Speaker 1: See that that you talk about Rigo at this time,
Speaker 1: and you made up your mind on Bailey. H. I
Speaker 1: was worried, are you? I was worried they'd have the
Speaker 1: nerve to pull the trigger. But I was worried. There
Speaker 1: was a competition going on that none of us really knew.
Speaker 1: I did not know about the competition at all, and
Speaker 1: I sat there and watched everything. I thought they were
Speaker 1: going to have to deal with it. Yeah, because he
Speaker 1: wasn't good in training camp and there were other things
Speaker 1: going on that he wasn't good with either, And so
Speaker 1: what Minnesota did they traded for that dude and he
Speaker 1: promptly went into the game and missed I think he
Speaker 1: missed the first kick. Yeah, yeah, vi vitick. How do
Speaker 1: you say it? You're asking me for I could know
Speaker 1: it for help. It's funny, Bill, did you pronounce the
Speaker 1: the Houston quarterbacks last name? Correct? Correct? But what were
Speaker 1: you going with Tom Tomambo? I see, I can't say.
Speaker 1: I can't say it's every time I every time something
Speaker 1: happened in the game with him throwing. I was I
Speaker 1: was doing radio like the worst radio and just Georgia
Speaker 1: side old miss quarterback is what I was based on exactly.
Speaker 1: So ye, can I just keep a quick shout out
Speaker 1: to Trokeman. Here you go his tweet, I believe was
Speaker 1: it last night? Yeah, in defense of Andrew Luck's decision
Speaker 1: to retire. I believe it's at like almost four hundred
Speaker 1: thousand likes right now on Twitter. Just you know, well said,
Speaker 1: do you have it? Uh? No, I could find it
Speaker 1: real quick for you. Just the first words, it's got
Speaker 1: a it's got a four lettle that many people liked it,
Speaker 1: then I think we probably would like it. Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: it was actually an eight letter word. Yes, but right here,
Speaker 1: but go ahead, motal bs, Doug. What qualifies you to
Speaker 1: decide how someone should live their life? So you're now
Speaker 1: the authority on what motivates Andrew Luck and if his
Speaker 1: decisions don't fit into what you think is best for him,
Speaker 1: then you rip him. I guess that's what keeps you
Speaker 1: employed to f F one this one and here's the
Speaker 1: talks on Fox Crime right there. And here's the tweet
Speaker 1: that he was responding to from Doug Guttlie but from
Speaker 1: Saturday Night. Retiring because rehabbing is too hard is the
Speaker 1: most millennial thing ever, Andrew Lucky. But what's much beautiful?
Speaker 1: The most beautiful thing about the Aikman tweet is the
Speaker 1: comment about FS one. Yeah he just took a shot
Speaker 1: because yeah, yeah, well, and it's yes, it's it's yeah,
Speaker 1: It's not so much that for me. It's just coming
Speaker 1: to the fence of a quarterback. And Aikman went through
Speaker 1: plenty of injuries in his career, and it's it's a
Speaker 1: difficult decision that that Luck had to make. Did you
Speaker 1: see Steve Burline what he yes, No, but did Burline
Speaker 1: he ripped him for leaving his team. Yeah. Do you
Speaker 1: want me to read some of it out of time, sir?
Speaker 1: I know we are. But he did say he's a
Speaker 1: huge Andrew Luck fan. Yeah, he has been. But he
Speaker 1: put him in a bad situation, is what he he
Speaker 1: put He was talking more about the team, like, now,
Speaker 1: what do you do? Noway? Right? Can you have done
Speaker 1: this two months? His team needs him to make this run.
Speaker 1: I know rehab as tough. I had nineteen surgeries as
Speaker 1: a player, eight over two years. But he owes it
Speaker 1: to his team. It's just a lower leg injury and
Speaker 1: it will heal. Just give it a chance if it
Speaker 1: doesn't walk away after this year. I think none of
Speaker 1: us know exactly what's going on with Andrew Luck, right, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: and we never have with the injuries. They've kept him
Speaker 1: so shrouded. Shaun Lee has a something to say about
Speaker 1: this too, you know, I mean Shaun Lee's but he's
Speaker 1: the same thing has happened to Sean Lee. How many
Speaker 1: times is Sean Lee? We talked about him as being
Speaker 1: one of the great players in this franchise, and he
Speaker 1: in his career has been been marred with injury and robbed,
Speaker 1: and you know he probably feels like, wow, I mean
Speaker 1: I played ten years and well I only played five.
Speaker 1: You know, I really didn't play ten years here, I've
Speaker 1: only played five. You know, maybe that's why he keeps going,
Speaker 1: because he figures he's fresh, that he's as tough a
Speaker 1: player as you'll find, that Andrew Luck is the toughest
Speaker 1: quarterback as you'll find, and yet will write whatever they say.
Speaker 1: He deserves me. On the sidelines are the people in
Speaker 1: Indianapolis that booed right, all right, they walk our streets.
Speaker 1: We got talking cowboys again tomorrow. We'll see you then.
Speaker 1: This has been a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com
Speaker 1: and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
