15
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:12,560
Speaker 1: some football this week? Yeah? I feel like that. You know,

16
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:16,640
Speaker 1: once the college game started kicking off and I was like, okay,

17
00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:19,679
Speaker 1: then you know the NFL season usually is right behind that,

18
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:22,440
Speaker 1: So yeah, I am ready. I think that when you

19
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:24,959
Speaker 1: look at training camps, when you look at how we

20
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:28,440
Speaker 1: got through that you look through the roster, the makeup

21
00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:31,200
Speaker 1: of the roster, the waiver wire, all that stuff that

22
00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:33,680
Speaker 1: you've had to do here the last that's really kind

23
00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:36,199
Speaker 1: of where it's when I sat down and said, Okay,

24
00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:39,480
Speaker 1: I gotta start watching film the Carolina Panthers today. That's

25
00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:42,840
Speaker 1: when it hits, right. It's Panthers week. So yeah, I

26
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:47,680
Speaker 1: get to watch Luke Keiklee and Cam Newton and Dj Moore,

27
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:50,360
Speaker 1: some of these guys I like to watch play football.

28
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:52,520
Speaker 1: It's time for your matchups on the website. It's been

29
00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:54,640
Speaker 1: a while. Yeah, it's been a while. It's been a while. Yeah,

30
00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:56,800
Speaker 1: look forward to look forward to kind of talking about it,

31
00:01:56,840 --> 00:01:59,040
Speaker 1: and you know, looking forward to getting the season starting.

32
00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:02,160
Speaker 1: And that's that's the exciting thing. I think opening days

33
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:05,960
Speaker 1: are always great, whether you know baseball, football, whatever it is.

34
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:10,840
Speaker 1: I'm a horse racing horse. Sure, I'll tell you. It's funny.

35
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:13,080
Speaker 1: I tell a real quick horses. Sure. I had a

36
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:16,760
Speaker 1: buddy at del Mar yesterday. And maybe I'm not supposed

37
00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:21,440
Speaker 1: to say this because it's gambling. Horse racing is okay, right, yeah, okay, okay.

38
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:23,360
Speaker 1: I can't bet on games. I can't bet on like

39
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:27,720
Speaker 1: our game. Buddy minds at del Mar and he he's

40
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:32,800
Speaker 1: he's screenshotting pictures of the form, the racing form. And

41
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:37,960
Speaker 1: I'm picking horses while I'm watching Bennett's practice, and I

42
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:41,320
Speaker 1: one like I one like thirty five bucks on two races.

43
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:44,600
Speaker 1: All right, they heard the head of fire or something there. Well,

44
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:47,800
Speaker 1: they had they had it something, you know, they had somebody.

45
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:50,600
Speaker 1: They had the gun go off. That's what it was. Yeah,

46
00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:54,959
Speaker 1: it was gunfire, gun fire, gun fire. But yeah, yeah,

47
00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:58,160
Speaker 1: del Mar, del Mar's beautiful track. Yeah, I've been so yeah.

48
00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:00,200
Speaker 1: I used to make it back in the eighty when

49
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:03,040
Speaker 1: the Cowboys were in thousand Oaks, went down to the

50
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:07,480
Speaker 1: Chargers camp in Lajoya, uh and we made it over

51
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:09,640
Speaker 1: to Delmar a couple of times a couple of years,

52
00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:12,280
Speaker 1: and it fits perfectly. Of course, I know we got

53
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:14,440
Speaker 1: a football park. But I'm sorry, I just I was

54
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:16,639
Speaker 1: just sitting I saw horse racing with you all day long.

55
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:19,040
Speaker 1: I was sitting there watching. I was watching Bennett practice

56
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:20,920
Speaker 1: a little bit late in the day and and I'm like,

57
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:23,520
Speaker 1: but he's like, I'm at Delmar. I'm like, text me

58
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:27,280
Speaker 1: the race or sing. So I'd like three races. I

59
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:32,679
Speaker 1: sat there and made money just watching it. Been it win? No, Well,

60
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:38,640
Speaker 1: so I wouldn't do it during a game, but yeah,

61
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:40,560
Speaker 1: I love I love hors. He wasn't doing it for Bennett.

62
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:44,360
Speaker 1: It was yeah, yea for Bennett's college fund. R Bene

63
00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:48,120
Speaker 1: did better better, I better win more than that. And

64
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:51,440
Speaker 1: um and before we dive into the NFL, you mentioned

65
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:55,000
Speaker 1: college football. I'm here on September fourth, ready to make

66
00:03:55,080 --> 00:04:00,360
Speaker 1: a prediction in the final four in college FOOTBA ball.

67
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:07,480
Speaker 1: It's Oklahoma, LSU, Texas, A and M and we'll throw

68
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:12,320
Speaker 1: in Alabama on that one man. Missouri's got a quarterback

69
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:14,000
Speaker 1: this year. We're gonna probably talk about it if they

70
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:16,799
Speaker 1: win this week. I have no idea. I thot they played,

71
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:18,880
Speaker 1: but I wouldn't that be something they got a first

72
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:21,839
Speaker 1: round quarterback. Though, Missouri has got a first round quarterback,

73
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:25,080
Speaker 1: so I'm sure we'll talk about their guy a lot

74
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:27,800
Speaker 1: during the So anyway, that's my take takeaway. Thank you

75
00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:31,200
Speaker 1: from the first weekend of college football. Appreciate in fact

76
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:33,760
Speaker 1: that's Lane Kiffin. By the way, he did say it

77
00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:36,320
Speaker 1: was the best team he ever said. He'd be shocked

78
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:39,840
Speaker 1: if there's a better team in college football. Team, congrats

79
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:42,160
Speaker 1: to you. Yeah, Now we got Chip Kelly and UCLA

80
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:44,800
Speaker 1: this week. All right, they let the Cowboys the other day.

81
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:47,800
Speaker 1: The Cowboys have Ron Rivera and the Carolina Pan they

82
00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:51,680
Speaker 1: do this week. All right, let's uh, let's get into

83
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:54,280
Speaker 1: this roster shakedown a little bit. I know, we had

84
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:57,640
Speaker 1: a show yesterday, not to exclusively a talking Cowboys show

85
00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:00,520
Speaker 1: yesterday leading up to Jason Garrett's press conference. Check out

86
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:04,039
Speaker 1: what Garrett said at the at the press conference yesterday, Brian,

87
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:06,560
Speaker 1: you had a chance to assume maybe Rob too, and

88
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:10,800
Speaker 1: they walk off with the head coach so quickly. Just

89
00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:15,040
Speaker 1: what's your takeaway now with the Dan Bailey Brett Maher

90
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:18,839
Speaker 1: kicking situation. You know, I feel like though that all

91
00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:22,000
Speaker 1: the things, and I thought Garrett would be really vague

92
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:24,960
Speaker 1: in the way that he presented it to in front

93
00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:27,279
Speaker 1: of the cameras. But I don't think he was vague.

94
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:30,840
Speaker 1: I think he I think he told you that there

95
00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:34,640
Speaker 1: were several factors involved the fact that they felt like

96
00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:38,600
Speaker 1: that he had kicked better than Bailey, and Bailey got

97
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:42,440
Speaker 1: limited opportunities, but they had practice and they felt like that, hey,

98
00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:45,280
Speaker 1: you know, this is an opportunity and the chances that

99
00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:48,479
Speaker 1: we gave him that he clearly showed up. And so

100
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:51,799
Speaker 1: I think that's a possibility, I mean, not a possible.

101
00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:54,000
Speaker 1: I think that's a reason. I think the fact that

102
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:58,360
Speaker 1: the coaching staff maybe lost a little confidence in Dan Billy.

103
00:05:58,400 --> 00:05:59,920
Speaker 1: I mean, that was what I was thinking going in

104
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:03,000
Speaker 1: and asking Garrett that question. He's saying, Hey, you know,

105
00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:04,960
Speaker 1: that's part of it. You know, you want to feel

106
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:07,360
Speaker 1: good about you know, what's going on with your with

107
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:08,960
Speaker 1: your kickers or anyone of those players. You know, you

108
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:11,320
Speaker 1: want to have confidence in your players. And then also

109
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:13,560
Speaker 1: the money factor I think came in as well, so

110
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:16,719
Speaker 1: you know, all those things. Um, you know, Garrett could

111
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:18,479
Speaker 1: have came out there and he you know, he was

112
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:20,880
Speaker 1: very complimentary of Dan Billy, and he knew what Dan

113
00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:23,120
Speaker 1: Billy meant to this organization. He knew what he meant

114
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:26,960
Speaker 1: to him, you know. But he's part of the decision

115
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:29,160
Speaker 1: making process, Jason Garrett. And and and this is one of

116
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:32,080
Speaker 1: those things where maybe we'll find out one day that

117
00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:36,159
Speaker 1: some of these moves, the Dez Bryant move, the Dan

118
00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:39,400
Speaker 1: Bailey move, maybe one day we'll find out that, you know,

119
00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:41,720
Speaker 1: maybe Jason Garrett was leaning towards, Hey, I want to

120
00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:45,120
Speaker 1: keep Dez Bryant. I wanted to keep Dan Bailey, you know,

121
00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:46,360
Speaker 1: And I don't think that's going to be like a

122
00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:49,680
Speaker 1: you know, maybe it's an afterthought. But you know, sometimes

123
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:51,960
Speaker 1: I say the coaches have the head coach. Everyone I've

124
00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:53,640
Speaker 1: ever been around here had a big stick in that

125
00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:57,600
Speaker 1: personnel department. And you know, whether that's Dave Campo or

126
00:06:57,680 --> 00:06:59,880
Speaker 1: you know, Chan Gailey. I saw a chan Gailey turnal

127
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:03,120
Speaker 1: way Randy Moss, you know, I watched him do it.

128
00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:06,120
Speaker 1: And so I know I'm going long winded here, but

129
00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:09,080
Speaker 1: you know this is this looked like a very difficult

130
00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:12,320
Speaker 1: decision for Garrett, and I'm wondering if he was totally

131
00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:16,240
Speaker 1: on board with it. But maybe they always look for

132
00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:19,200
Speaker 1: a they always look for a consensus here, and that

133
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:21,920
Speaker 1: might be the way they win. But so many decisions

134
00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:25,440
Speaker 1: just aren't cutting dry decisions. No, all right, yeah we're

135
00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:28,240
Speaker 1: doing this for sure, they're right, yeah, right, And they

136
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:32,680
Speaker 1: admit that they could be wrong on it, but it

137
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:35,480
Speaker 1: could cost it could cost the head coach's job because

138
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:37,920
Speaker 1: all we if you ever looked at Jason Garrett's record

139
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:41,080
Speaker 1: and looked at the games he plays, and he doesn't either,

140
00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:43,679
Speaker 1: he doesn't blow people out. He's in a lot of tight,

141
00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:47,000
Speaker 1: tough games where he's having to make a decision whether

142
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:49,600
Speaker 1: it kick a field goal. There's a lot of close games,

143
00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:51,160
Speaker 1: and they're gonna probably play in a lot of close

144
00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:53,560
Speaker 1: games this year. If they're going to run the football,

145
00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:56,240
Speaker 1: if the if the primary way of moving the ball

146
00:07:56,280 --> 00:07:58,760
Speaker 1: and scoring is going to be running the football, they're

147
00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:01,040
Speaker 1: going to be in a lot of tight games because

148
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:03,120
Speaker 1: this is really it's a passing league. And we'll see

149
00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:05,760
Speaker 1: if they can pass. We know they can run, we'll

150
00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:07,360
Speaker 1: see if they can pass. I might I might write

151
00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:09,600
Speaker 1: about what you just said. That's a great point because

152
00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:15,040
Speaker 1: and it goes back to coaches ten usually lean towards

153
00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:18,040
Speaker 1: what they know and what they're comfort always, always, and

154
00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:21,720
Speaker 1: this is a guy. Yeah, when you got inside thirty

155
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:27,040
Speaker 1: yards thirty five yard line, Bailey more than not was money. Now,

156
00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:29,960
Speaker 1: he wasn't down the stretch. And I do think the

157
00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:35,440
Speaker 1: organization they admit it's it's a risk what they're doing here. However,

158
00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:39,040
Speaker 1: I think the rationale that they ultimately the decision they

159
00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:42,640
Speaker 1: came to was we're gonna look at this objectively. Brett Maher,

160
00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:45,360
Speaker 1: I don't know if any of us tracked his kicks

161
00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:48,280
Speaker 1: throughout camp. We started watching him. That's a mistake on

162
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:51,000
Speaker 1: my part. And probably the whole media. Yeah, he kicked. Well,

163
00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:55,520
Speaker 1: I think we all learned a lesson that maybe there

164
00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:58,720
Speaker 1: is a competition and not not necessarily some jobs that

165
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:01,240
Speaker 1: appear to be safe, maybe they aren't safe, right, And

166
00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:04,959
Speaker 1: I think they felt overall the numbers bore out mar

167
00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:09,200
Speaker 1: One the competition. Now you have to factor in history

168
00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:11,840
Speaker 1: as well. But like Brian said, there was concern there.

169
00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:14,840
Speaker 1: Now Maher could go out and miss a couple kicks

170
00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:18,000
Speaker 1: Sunday and they can second guess. But what if Bailey

171
00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:21,480
Speaker 1: missed on Sunday and they were worried about his confidence

172
00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:24,040
Speaker 1: to begin with, Then you second guess yourself that way

173
00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:27,320
Speaker 1: and say we didn't trust our objective evaluation that this

174
00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:30,600
Speaker 1: guy was better than our veteran. So they ultimately kind

175
00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:32,440
Speaker 1: of took the jersey off and said, Okay, this guy

176
00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:34,400
Speaker 1: was better. And then the other part of that is

177
00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:37,120
Speaker 1: Brett Markers just made a fifty seven yard field goal

178
00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:39,080
Speaker 1: in the last preseason game, and as we said on

179
00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:41,480
Speaker 1: the TV broadcast, you probably said something similar on the

180
00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:45,199
Speaker 1: radio broadcast, Brian, Well, other NFL teams just to that.

181
00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:48,559
Speaker 1: Brad Sham and I went into a dissertation on why

182
00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:51,520
Speaker 1: he will probably get another chance to kick for somebody else,

183
00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:55,160
Speaker 1: Brad goes. Does he deserve an opportunity? I'm thinking, well, yeah,

184
00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:56,640
Speaker 1: you look at what he was able to kind of

185
00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:58,400
Speaker 1: do in camp. You've seen what he was done with

186
00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:01,040
Speaker 1: some of the games. He he'd have the blemish he

187
00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:03,040
Speaker 1: had a miss in the forty nine Ers game that

188
00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:05,960
Speaker 1: would have maybe put the Cowboys a little bit better

189
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:10,400
Speaker 1: position to trying. It was exactly it was, But you

190
00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:12,800
Speaker 1: know that's those are the things you're thinking about. I mean,

191
00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:15,240
Speaker 1: they put him out there with confidence, and to be

192
00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:17,280
Speaker 1: honest with you, I'm surprised Garrett put him out there

193
00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:20,360
Speaker 1: with with for a fifty seven yard shot to be

194
00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:23,000
Speaker 1: you know, to be honest, and depending on what they're

195
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:25,640
Speaker 1: thinking was going into that. We were thinking, Yeah, we

196
00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:29,040
Speaker 1: were thinking emergency list guy. We were thinking workout guy.

197
00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:32,320
Speaker 1: We were thinking everything a personnel man thinks of, but

198
00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:34,240
Speaker 1: making a football team. You know what I was thinking

199
00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:36,480
Speaker 1: this morning, though, I was thinking, okay, I was trying

200
00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:39,440
Speaker 1: to remember play out this scenario leading up to that

201
00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:43,040
Speaker 1: fifty seven yard or I was thinking the opposite of that.

202
00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:47,480
Speaker 1: Maybe they were put trying to put him in position.

203
00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:50,080
Speaker 1: I don't remember what the play call was on third down.

204
00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:51,839
Speaker 1: But maybe they wanted Hiven go out there, let's see

205
00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:53,600
Speaker 1: if you can make a fifty five yard or yeah.

206
00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:57,040
Speaker 1: But even then it's like, Okay, great, he made a

207
00:10:57,040 --> 00:10:59,600
Speaker 1: great kick. Maybe he's trade made over the weekend because

208
00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:01,800
Speaker 1: we good about Dan Bailey. We don't need to see

209
00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:04,360
Speaker 1: Dan Bailey kick. And ultimately it's like they wanted to

210
00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:06,439
Speaker 1: see what this guy could do one more time before

211
00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:09,400
Speaker 1: they bite the bullet. But also, okay, maybe they're leaning

212
00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:14,120
Speaker 1: towards keeping Dan Bailey all right, and what are the

213
00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:17,760
Speaker 1: chances Maher gets picked up by somebody else? If Bailey

214
00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:20,440
Speaker 1: missed a field goal in Carolina, we would always fall

215
00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:25,560
Speaker 1: back on Mahr sud on the practice squad and he

216
00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:27,520
Speaker 1: makes the fifty seven yard or and they're thinking, you

217
00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:29,560
Speaker 1: know what, he's probably gonna get picked up by somebody.

218
00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:34,160
Speaker 1: We gotta make a decision me personally, and I get

219
00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:35,840
Speaker 1: you know what they're at. And it might have been

220
00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:39,480
Speaker 1: the decision that they couldn't afford to have Dan Bailey

221
00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:42,640
Speaker 1: on the roster for three million dollars and then cut him.

222
00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:45,000
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. I mean that that Okay,

223
00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:48,080
Speaker 1: now he's due. He's doing all his money after week

224
00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:51,040
Speaker 1: one right, So you know, maybe that's a situation that

225
00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:53,400
Speaker 1: they had to they had to look at it. It's like, okay, yeah,

226
00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:58,560
Speaker 1: nice to think about Maha on the practice squad, But

227
00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:02,320
Speaker 1: what if Dan Bailey and week week two missus field goals.

228
00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:05,600
Speaker 1: Now now you've got now you got him on the books,

229
00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:08,079
Speaker 1: you know, because he is a vested veteran and you're

230
00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:11,559
Speaker 1: you're responsible for his entire contract, and you know, then

231
00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:13,400
Speaker 1: then it's a little bit more of a of a

232
00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:16,880
Speaker 1: challenge to to cut him right there. So that's a

233
00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:19,640
Speaker 1: good point. I just feel like I felt like all

234
00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:23,240
Speaker 1: I did not feel like that Dan Bailey's job was

235
00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:29,319
Speaker 1: in jeopardy until until those two days where we saw

236
00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:32,319
Speaker 1: him struggle. When it went back to back days. I'm

237
00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:34,720
Speaker 1: not maybe it's a bad way of saying it his

238
00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:38,200
Speaker 1: job in jeopardy. I felt like that, Okay, now maybe

239
00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:41,280
Speaker 1: we have to watch instead of going over there in

240
00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:44,080
Speaker 1: bs and with somebody, you know during practice. Yeah, being

241
00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:47,040
Speaker 1: practice time, we got to watch talking to the fans

242
00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:50,240
Speaker 1: or whatever, I do, you know, visit with people. I

243
00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:52,400
Speaker 1: feel like, now we've got to watch kicks. I remember

244
00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:54,559
Speaker 1: Mickey and I with Mickey and I went and it's

245
00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:56,880
Speaker 1: so funny. At the same time, we walked underneath the

246
00:12:56,880 --> 00:12:59,679
Speaker 1: goal post and just stopped and looked up you know

247
00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:01,400
Speaker 1: where I and I'm looked at him like you're here

248
00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:03,920
Speaker 1: watching this kicker. Huh. He's like yeah, and I was

249
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:06,000
Speaker 1: in the same thing. I mean, you had to watch

250
00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:08,160
Speaker 1: and see what was going on. After a few days,

251
00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:11,000
Speaker 1: it kind of it kind of wore off. You moved on, Yeah,

252
00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:13,120
Speaker 1: you moved on. And I think maybe that's just shows

253
00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:15,520
Speaker 1: you how great Dan Billy was at his job that

254
00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:18,880
Speaker 1: after two days he just moved on. Well, in most

255
00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:21,200
Speaker 1: past years, I don't know if we really charted him

256
00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:24,480
Speaker 1: at camp. Now I did this year every time, especially

257
00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:26,880
Speaker 1: after those two kicks. But I think he missed one

258
00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:29,240
Speaker 1: kick after that two day stretch where he struggled, so

259
00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:31,160
Speaker 1: it looked like he had righted himself. I thought he

260
00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:34,360
Speaker 1: was striking the ball pretty well. But I wasn't paying

261
00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:37,920
Speaker 1: close enough attention to this other guy who apparently really

262
00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:41,240
Speaker 1: won their confidence over and the other guy Brett Maher.

263
00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:43,439
Speaker 1: And that is how you pronounce it. According to the media,

264
00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:47,559
Speaker 1: guy did is Mahr They her okay, and he has

265
00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:51,600
Speaker 1: experienced in the Canadian Football League. And the other thing

266
00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:54,480
Speaker 1: is he can also if something happened to Chris Jones,

267
00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:56,920
Speaker 1: he can also punt, and of course he can kick

268
00:13:57,000 --> 00:13:59,840
Speaker 1: off too. So anyway, he's your guy going to Carolina

269
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:03,120
Speaker 1: this week. Now. As far as other moves that have

270
00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:07,520
Speaker 1: been made since we last convened and since the fifty

271
00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:11,680
Speaker 1: three man roster was set, I liked. I thought it

272
00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:13,920
Speaker 1: was a very shrewd move what they did. As far

273
00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:17,120
Speaker 1: as the wide receivers are concerned, Yes, with Noah Brown,

274
00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:21,200
Speaker 1: who had putting him on injured reserve after he was

275
00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:23,160
Speaker 1: on the fifty three, now they can bring him back.

276
00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:28,240
Speaker 1: After eight weeks they made they they had the market

277
00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:31,360
Speaker 1: figured out on Deontay Thompson where they were able to

278
00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:34,000
Speaker 1: bring him back and sign him. So now they had

279
00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:38,560
Speaker 1: those wide receivers and really they could tell what the

280
00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:41,640
Speaker 1: market was because of the interest that Deontay Thompson had

281
00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:44,400
Speaker 1: in the presea in the off season because he did

282
00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:46,960
Speaker 1: not sign for a huge amount of money, kind of

283
00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:49,880
Speaker 1: had a sort of a semi breakout year last year,

284
00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:53,080
Speaker 1: and so teams are usually overloaded at wide receivers, so

285
00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:55,680
Speaker 1: he was still available and now you got both those guys. Yeah,

286
00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:59,000
Speaker 1: I think it's you know, the thing they didn't want

287
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:01,680
Speaker 1: to lose Brown, right, that was clear, you know that

288
00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:03,680
Speaker 1: was And it gives you a guy now for the

289
00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:06,240
Speaker 1: second half of the season, they give you exactly right,

290
00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:07,960
Speaker 1: It gives you a guy. They'll work with him, he'll

291
00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:10,120
Speaker 1: get in shape and by you know, we'll see what

292
00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:13,040
Speaker 1: happens in week eight. I mean, it's still a receiving

293
00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:15,440
Speaker 1: crew that there's a lot of questions about right now,

294
00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:18,400
Speaker 1: and hey, week eight might be too late, it might not,

295
00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:21,280
Speaker 1: but they you always have guys to get banged up

296
00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:23,840
Speaker 1: during the season, and you know they've they've got that

297
00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:27,280
Speaker 1: to kind of fall back on in case they need to. Yeah,

298
00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:29,560
Speaker 1: I think ultimately receiver, they kept the five that we

299
00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:33,960
Speaker 1: thought in camp were probably the most proven. Slash had

300
00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:36,520
Speaker 1: the most potential with Michael Gallup as the third round pick,

301
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:40,240
Speaker 1: and I know Brian was banging his fist on the table. No.

302
00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:43,840
Speaker 1: Six wide receivers, No. Seven wide receivers. Ultimately, they go

303
00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:47,120
Speaker 1: light at running back and it allows you to get

304
00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:49,880
Speaker 1: Rico Gathers on the fifty three and they just weren't

305
00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:52,640
Speaker 1: going to give up the investment they'd made trying to

306
00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:55,120
Speaker 1: develop him, and he showed enough to make it for now.

307
00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:59,040
Speaker 1: Rico Gathers was a better player than Dalton Schultz. He

308
00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:02,200
Speaker 1: was a better player there during and but you know,

309
00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:03,920
Speaker 1: they're not going to give up on Dalton Schultz. And

310
00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:06,000
Speaker 1: they shouldn't give up on Dalton Schultz. They should find

311
00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:08,000
Speaker 1: a way to say, Okay, we need to get him stronger,

312
00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:10,600
Speaker 1: we need to get him more reps. But Dalton Schultz

313
00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:12,880
Speaker 1: did not play as well as he had played at Stanford,

314
00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:16,040
Speaker 1: and that that in itself, to me, was very disappointing.

315
00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:20,000
Speaker 1: But Rico Gathers, I'm gonna say that he did deserve

316
00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:22,160
Speaker 1: an opportunity to be on this football team. He put

317
00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:25,640
Speaker 1: himself in consideration. He went from a player that nobody

318
00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:29,680
Speaker 1: really wanted to deal with very much, you know, last year,

319
00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:31,960
Speaker 1: I mean it seemed like that the coaching staff had

320
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:35,480
Speaker 1: their questions about him. And what happens you get new coaches,

321
00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:38,000
Speaker 1: you know, new coaches rolled in and that might have

322
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:40,400
Speaker 1: been the best thing that ever happened to Rico Gathers.

323
00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:45,240
Speaker 1: That opinions of former coaches go with their new teams

324
00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:48,800
Speaker 1: and you have a fresh slate and a fresh opportunity

325
00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:51,960
Speaker 1: to come in and try and make the football team.

326
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:55,240
Speaker 1: And he did. He was he was clearly you look

327
00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:57,920
Speaker 1: at the plays he made. You look at now. Jason

328
00:16:57,960 --> 00:17:01,640
Speaker 1: Garrett was very complimentary of his blocking. And I say

329
00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:04,560
Speaker 1: this in a way that I understand where Jason Garrett's

330
00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:07,760
Speaker 1: going here. Rico gathers at two hundred and eighty pounds

331
00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:10,159
Speaker 1: when he gets in your way, when he's on a

332
00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:12,800
Speaker 1: defensive end or a linebacker, is a hard guy. He

333
00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:16,080
Speaker 1: can make mistakes. He can make mistakes as a blocker.

334
00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:19,120
Speaker 1: He can't make mental mistakes, but he can make mistakes

335
00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:22,600
Speaker 1: in technique because and one of the reasons, one of

336
00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:26,359
Speaker 1: the examples that Garrett gave was Martellis Bennett, Right, Martellis

337
00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:29,080
Speaker 1: Bennett was not a great technique blocker, but when he

338
00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:32,080
Speaker 1: got that two hundred and eighty pound body moving, he

339
00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:34,360
Speaker 1: was difficult. Once he was on you, he was difficult

340
00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:36,359
Speaker 1: to get rid of. So you said, it's a matter

341
00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:38,880
Speaker 1: of making sure you're in the right spot. That's true.

342
00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:41,400
Speaker 1: That's the nuance of the BA. And that's a guy

343
00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:43,520
Speaker 1: that hasn't played a ton of foot And it will be.

344
00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:47,160
Speaker 1: And they're they're gonna dress. They're gonna dress three tight

345
00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:50,200
Speaker 1: ends this week. And I wonder if the third time

346
00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:52,399
Speaker 1: is interesting that one, or if the third tight end

347
00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:54,960
Speaker 1: is going to be Rico Gathers instead of Dalton Schultz.

348
00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:57,320
Speaker 1: That's where this is gonna The other two are gonna

349
00:17:57,440 --> 00:18:01,639
Speaker 1: dress and that would be Swain and Jarwin. I wonder

350
00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:05,560
Speaker 1: if the third tight end is going to be Rico Gathers,

351
00:18:05,560 --> 00:18:07,639
Speaker 1: and I'm going to say this, I think there's a

352
00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:10,760
Speaker 1: really good possibility it will be. And it may go

353
00:18:10,840 --> 00:18:13,520
Speaker 1: week to week on that. And yes, and so if

354
00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:16,879
Speaker 1: Rico depending on matchups or on development of Rico, if

355
00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:19,160
Speaker 1: it depending on the game plan and stuff like that,

356
00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:22,800
Speaker 1: if they if somebody's got a heavy sam lineback or

357
00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:25,399
Speaker 1: they play with, or somebody's got a heavy defensive end,

358
00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:28,760
Speaker 1: or they want to create opportunity there to get on

359
00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:32,320
Speaker 1: the edge. But Rico Gathers. The only thing keeping Rico Gathers,

360
00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:34,040
Speaker 1: and I'm just talking about the on the field stuff.

361
00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:36,239
Speaker 1: I'm not talking about the off the field stuff. The

362
00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:39,160
Speaker 1: only thing keeping him from being the player that they

363
00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:42,320
Speaker 1: want him to be is his ability to understand what

364
00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:45,720
Speaker 1: he's got, his responsibility, his job. And there's been some

365
00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:49,239
Speaker 1: signs where hot read or being where he needs to

366
00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:51,960
Speaker 1: be on a certain call, or you see him playing

367
00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:55,359
Speaker 1: second level. He's getting better at that. So If he

368
00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:58,000
Speaker 1: can continue on that path, up Rico Gathers will be

369
00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:00,000
Speaker 1: on your forty six every week. He's just too talent

370
00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:03,160
Speaker 1: of a player. The problem is, though, he doesn't always

371
00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:05,680
Speaker 1: know what he's doing, and that keeps him from being

372
00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:07,680
Speaker 1: a guy you won on the forty six. All right,

373
00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:10,440
Speaker 1: we're going to take your phone calls here on Talking Cowboys.

Speaker 1: pass along from the weekend. Everyone survived the weekend. Obviously

434
00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:23,880
Speaker 1: I came very close to not surviving the weekend. That's

435
00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:28,120
Speaker 1: not good. My Yeah, literally, i'd be I came about

436
00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:33,440
Speaker 1: that close, I truly believe. All right. Um, on Sunday,

437
00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:35,760
Speaker 1: some friends of mine and we went over to my

438
00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:39,280
Speaker 1: daughter's new home and they're moving in, She and her

439
00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:41,399
Speaker 1: husband are moving in a new home, and they have

440
00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:45,679
Speaker 1: that popcorn ceiling of you that was popular back in

441
00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:50,440
Speaker 1: the eighties houses back Okay, so we were we our

442
00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:53,800
Speaker 1: assignment and we volunteered to do it was to get

443
00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:57,239
Speaker 1: up on ladders and scrape the popcorn off. Okay, so

444
00:22:57,600 --> 00:22:59,960
Speaker 1: the whole house all right. Now. That wasn't where I

445
00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:02,960
Speaker 1: had a near death experience. It was after that, not

446
00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:07,600
Speaker 1: ladders and no, okay, all right, so we're just covered

447
00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:11,520
Speaker 1: with plaster and paint and everything whatever. And so I

448
00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:14,800
Speaker 1: got went home and I decided I'm getting in the pool, okay,

449
00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:18,119
Speaker 1: to get all that stuff off me. I go to

450
00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:21,600
Speaker 1: step into the pool. I step on the top step

451
00:23:22,040 --> 00:23:25,320
Speaker 1: and it was slicker, and I'll get out. I slip.

452
00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:30,080
Speaker 1: I fall to the side and I came. I guarantee

453
00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:32,199
Speaker 1: you I came an entered two away from hitting my

454
00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:34,240
Speaker 1: head on the side of that pool. I mean, I go,

455
00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:37,919
Speaker 1: I fall and I'm still sore on the left side

456
00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:42,360
Speaker 1: my knee, which has torn meniscus already, it was buckled

457
00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:44,800
Speaker 1: under and I could just feel as I'm falling. I'm saying,

458
00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:46,960
Speaker 1: I just blew out my knee and now I'm thinking

459
00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:52,360
Speaker 1: I'm gonna hit my head. Whatever go right, And I

460
00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:55,399
Speaker 1: just sat there. Afterwards, I went and I got a

461
00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:58,199
Speaker 1: scrape on my elbow and that's it. I'm so lucky.

462
00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:01,800
Speaker 1: But more than anything, what this brings to me to

463
00:24:01,880 --> 00:24:05,439
Speaker 1: the talking cowboys in the NFL, is Okay, my knee

464
00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:10,520
Speaker 1: was killing me immediately after that, my hip, my shoulder

465
00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:13,679
Speaker 1: or whatever. I'm thinking, I just got hit by a

466
00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:16,040
Speaker 1: three hundred pound lineman. I mean, this is what these

467
00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:19,919
Speaker 1: NFL players go through every single Sunday, and here it is.

468
00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:23,040
Speaker 1: It got a little better yesterday and I feel fine today. Yeah,

469
00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:26,720
Speaker 1: but you can understand why and why you have a

470
00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:30,680
Speaker 1: schedule now that gives them a day to recover on Monday,

471
00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:32,919
Speaker 1: and they don't get back here until Tuesday after a

472
00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:35,679
Speaker 1: game because you need that time. Of course, their bodies

473
00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:38,560
Speaker 1: are thirty years younger than mine. But but anyway, I'm

474
00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:40,800
Speaker 1: glad you're all right. That's scary, man. I thought you

475
00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:48,320
Speaker 1: were saying something with the plaster and it was, yeah,

476
00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:52,280
Speaker 1: well no telling you about the asbestos had the mask

477
00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:55,720
Speaker 1: and everything. So good for you. I mean I would

478
00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:58,080
Speaker 1: have been anyway. I've been like, I have no mask

479
00:24:58,160 --> 00:24:59,960
Speaker 1: and it got in my mouth or something like that,

480
00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:03,440
Speaker 1: and then have been like really like sick. Yeah, that

481
00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:06,240
Speaker 1: was a horrible experience. I'm still having a hard time

482
00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:08,800
Speaker 1: getting over it. Anyway, all right, let's get to these

483
00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:13,359
Speaker 1: new players. Ibraheim Campbell. Yes, what does he bring to

484
00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:15,960
Speaker 1: the party. I'll tell you what with Campbell? And I

485
00:25:16,040 --> 00:25:18,720
Speaker 1: was and it's up on Dallas Cowboys dot com the

486
00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:23,439
Speaker 1: reports and stuff, and I really I was impressed. He

487
00:25:23,480 --> 00:25:26,119
Speaker 1: saw him in the Cowboys game against the Texans the

488
00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:29,159
Speaker 1: other day. He was around the ball. He is a

489
00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:33,800
Speaker 1: fierce hitter. He's a wrap up tackle guy. He's a guy.

490
00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:36,119
Speaker 1: It's five to eleven, about two hundred and fifteen pounds.

491
00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:38,520
Speaker 1: He's got really a strong safety kind of a build.

492
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:42,080
Speaker 1: But they play him as really they'll play him down,

493
00:25:42,119 --> 00:25:44,320
Speaker 1: but they'll also play him in that single high guy

494
00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:47,480
Speaker 1: and you'll see him react. There was a play I remember,

495
00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:50,920
Speaker 1: particular play when Gallup dropped the ball in the slant.

496
00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:55,200
Speaker 1: He was coming fast to defend that play. So with Campbell,

497
00:25:55,240 --> 00:25:57,320
Speaker 1: he's a he is a veteran guy. He has played

498
00:25:57,320 --> 00:25:59,840
Speaker 1: in this league as far as he's made some starts.

499
00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:02,960
Speaker 1: Was with Cleveland's drafted by Cleveland the fourth round. I

500
00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:05,239
Speaker 1: do like his ability to tackle. I do like his

501
00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:08,240
Speaker 1: ability to play physically. I do like the I do

502
00:26:08,359 --> 00:26:10,439
Speaker 1: like the fact that you can play him down and

503
00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:12,399
Speaker 1: you can play him back, and he seems to have

504
00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:15,280
Speaker 1: that kind of flexibility to his game. He's not just

505
00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:17,919
Speaker 1: a down guy, and I think that's something that they

506
00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:20,359
Speaker 1: were kind of looking at. Can we get a guy

507
00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:24,359
Speaker 1: that's just not a down guy? But here here he's

508
00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:27,000
Speaker 1: he's got that ability to play in some coverage. He

509
00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:29,040
Speaker 1: was having to cover some linebackers. I don't know if

510
00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:30,560
Speaker 1: I would put him in the slot like what they

511
00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:34,040
Speaker 1: do with Xavier Woods. But I think there's some things

512
00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:36,720
Speaker 1: that like what they do with Jeff Heath that play

513
00:26:36,760 --> 00:26:38,800
Speaker 1: you know, they have to play Heath back, They could

514
00:26:38,800 --> 00:26:41,760
Speaker 1: play him down, be a little bit interchangeable because you

515
00:26:41,840 --> 00:26:45,080
Speaker 1: prefer to see Heath around the line of scrimmage. I would,

516
00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:49,200
Speaker 1: because he's the way he reads things, and he's instinctive

517
00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:51,119
Speaker 1: and he can he can him up and make plays.

518
00:26:51,280 --> 00:26:54,399
Speaker 1: And now Cavon Frazier, we think he's gonna try to

519
00:26:54,440 --> 00:26:56,639
Speaker 1: go week one, but at least this guy give you

520
00:26:56,760 --> 00:26:59,159
Speaker 1: some versatility in case he misses some snaps. This this

521
00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:03,840
Speaker 1: guy's a better. This guy's a better both physical players.

522
00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:05,880
Speaker 1: But I think if you said who's a better tackler,

523
00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:09,199
Speaker 1: I think Campbell's a better tackler than Frasier. And I

524
00:27:09,240 --> 00:27:11,720
Speaker 1: think you could play him in more coverage situations than

525
00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:15,080
Speaker 1: you can Frasier. Okay, So that that in itself, I

526
00:27:15,119 --> 00:27:17,200
Speaker 1: think is a good thing. I'm all for if keeping

527
00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:21,840
Speaker 1: Xavier Woods back and letting Jeff Heath played down underneath,

528
00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:25,080
Speaker 1: because if I could get if I could get Heath,

529
00:27:26,520 --> 00:27:30,159
Speaker 1: Jalen Smith and Shaun Lee all of the ball, one

530
00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:32,000
Speaker 1: of those three is going to make a tackle. For me,

531
00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:35,800
Speaker 1: So the more I don't want Jeff Heath playing, you know,

532
00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:39,880
Speaker 1: in in so deep that he's everything is just run up,

533
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:42,080
Speaker 1: run up, run up, run up, that kind of thing.

534
00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:44,480
Speaker 1: I want him around the ball where he can make

535
00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:48,320
Speaker 1: some play. And when you look at Houston, they added

536
00:27:48,359 --> 00:27:52,600
Speaker 1: Tyron Matthew in the offseason. They also drafted Justin Reid,

537
00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:57,600
Speaker 1: and so you can understand where Campbell he fell short

538
00:27:57,680 --> 00:28:00,400
Speaker 1: in Houston. But there's an opportunity here and they signed.

539
00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:04,399
Speaker 1: They signed the coup is that you told de coup Is.

540
00:28:04,440 --> 00:28:07,000
Speaker 1: They already had Day coup on their roster, a day

541
00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:09,840
Speaker 1: coup treston Day. Yeah, but I think he's on a

542
00:28:09,840 --> 00:28:12,680
Speaker 1: Cowboys practice squad. Oh you're talking about Oh, you're talking

543
00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:16,159
Speaker 1: about Day being Dallas. I thought, yeah, reports now that

544
00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:18,880
Speaker 1: he's signing to the practice squad. Okay, okay, good, Yeah,

545
00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:20,720
Speaker 1: they go right, a little more depth there, yeah, a

546
00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:22,639
Speaker 1: little bit more depth at the position and all that.

547
00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:25,400
Speaker 1: So all right, how about these linemen. First you had

548
00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:31,640
Speaker 1: Parker and we're hearing the pronunciation anger on E H

549
00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:34,159
Speaker 1: I n G E R. Of course he went to

550
00:28:34,160 --> 00:28:38,000
Speaker 1: the University of Cincinnati, Parker Anger and Adam Redmond, Yes,

551
00:28:38,120 --> 00:28:42,320
Speaker 1: and then anger. He's a guy I really liked what

552
00:28:42,440 --> 00:28:45,840
Speaker 1: I saw. He was playing tackle at Kansas City, wasn't

553
00:28:45,840 --> 00:28:48,440
Speaker 1: really playing the guard, but he's played both in his career.

554
00:28:49,080 --> 00:28:52,520
Speaker 1: But I evaluated position. Yeah, I evaluate him as a

555
00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:56,040
Speaker 1: right tackle. And I'll tell you what, though, there's there

556
00:28:56,160 --> 00:28:58,640
Speaker 1: was things about I like the ability to finish. I

557
00:28:58,680 --> 00:29:01,800
Speaker 1: think there were some things with him him where you

558
00:29:02,480 --> 00:29:04,480
Speaker 1: at guard, I think it's a little bit easier for

559
00:29:04,520 --> 00:29:09,480
Speaker 1: a tackle. His balance wasn't always good. H there was

560
00:29:09,520 --> 00:29:11,600
Speaker 1: times where he'd have three or four plays where he

561
00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:14,360
Speaker 1: was really good. You see him in position, position, position,

562
00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:17,480
Speaker 1: and then it's at fifth play that all of a sudden, Oh,

563
00:29:17,480 --> 00:29:19,920
Speaker 1: why's the head down? He's lungeon, you know, trying to

564
00:29:20,520 --> 00:29:23,120
Speaker 1: But I feel like though if you put him inside,

565
00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:26,719
Speaker 1: he's probably better suited than having to play out in space.

566
00:29:27,240 --> 00:29:29,640
Speaker 1: He's athletic enough to do the stuff that they want

567
00:29:29,680 --> 00:29:32,200
Speaker 1: to do with the polls and things like that. He

568
00:29:32,240 --> 00:29:35,880
Speaker 1: could second level block, he could reach, he could scoop.

569
00:29:36,280 --> 00:29:37,920
Speaker 1: Those are the things that they're going to ask him

570
00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:41,160
Speaker 1: to do. I like the way that I mentioned. I

571
00:29:41,160 --> 00:29:43,360
Speaker 1: like the way he finishes. I think that's a good

572
00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:46,160
Speaker 1: thing for him. But yeah, he's got that ability. If

573
00:29:46,160 --> 00:29:48,200
Speaker 1: they had to play him as an emergency tackle, I

574
00:29:48,240 --> 00:29:50,720
Speaker 1: don't think you would be you know, to get out

575
00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:52,920
Speaker 1: of a game. I think he could do it, but

576
00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:55,640
Speaker 1: he's better suited to be playing guard, to play inside

577
00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:57,640
Speaker 1: where he can where he can use more of his

578
00:29:57,720 --> 00:30:00,680
Speaker 1: ability to get up on guys to day with guys.

579
00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:03,840
Speaker 1: The sustain is really really good for him. So uh,

580
00:30:04,040 --> 00:30:06,360
Speaker 1: he was he played as a rookie quite a bit

581
00:30:06,480 --> 00:30:09,160
Speaker 1: for the Chiefs and then got a really bad knee injury.

582
00:30:09,560 --> 00:30:11,600
Speaker 1: And you know, I don't think that's robbed him of

583
00:30:11,600 --> 00:30:14,440
Speaker 1: any of his you know, quickness or speed or anything,

584
00:30:14,520 --> 00:30:17,080
Speaker 1: or lateral slide or any of that stuff, but it's

585
00:30:17,080 --> 00:30:18,560
Speaker 1: something you have to kind of keep an eye on.

586
00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:21,040
Speaker 1: So if one of your tackles Missus snaps, you're going

587
00:30:21,040 --> 00:30:23,160
Speaker 1: with Fleming as your swing tackle. Yeah, that's what it

588
00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:25,320
Speaker 1: sounds like. If you in this game, they're going to

589
00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:27,840
Speaker 1: try and get these two guys ready to roll, you

590
00:30:27,840 --> 00:30:30,480
Speaker 1: know with And the thing I like about Redman is

591
00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:34,000
Speaker 1: Redman's a scheme fit for him as well, because now

592
00:30:34,080 --> 00:30:36,320
Speaker 1: here's the guy's And I always say this because when

593
00:30:36,360 --> 00:30:40,520
Speaker 1: it pertains, if a guy has trouble extending, he's really

594
00:30:40,560 --> 00:30:42,520
Speaker 1: kind of a billy to billy blocker. And I mean

595
00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:44,880
Speaker 1: billy that's that's really a close guy. If you if

596
00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:47,040
Speaker 1: you read me say, if you read that what I say,

597
00:30:47,360 --> 00:30:49,840
Speaker 1: that means guy's getting real close. He's not able to

598
00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:52,560
Speaker 1: really extend. And this is the thing I think with

599
00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:55,440
Speaker 1: Redman that they like is the fact that he could

600
00:30:55,480 --> 00:30:58,040
Speaker 1: get up on this guy. He's a better angle blocker,

601
00:30:58,080 --> 00:31:00,800
Speaker 1: I mean angle like blocking back. He's not going to

602
00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:03,680
Speaker 1: drive people off the ball. He's gonna get into his block.

603
00:31:03,720 --> 00:31:06,520
Speaker 1: He's gonna hold on, he's gonna shield from the he's

604
00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:08,600
Speaker 1: the ball, it's gonna go behind him. He's gonna make

605
00:31:08,640 --> 00:31:11,720
Speaker 1: the defender run through him to get to the ball.

606
00:31:11,920 --> 00:31:15,959
Speaker 1: And that's but I saw some things where again second

607
00:31:16,040 --> 00:31:18,560
Speaker 1: level stuff that they do with Travis Frederick. Always talking

608
00:31:18,560 --> 00:31:21,479
Speaker 1: about Frederick's ability to cut the defense in half. This

609
00:31:21,520 --> 00:31:24,440
Speaker 1: guy could get up on the second level. Take some linebackers,

610
00:31:24,760 --> 00:31:27,160
Speaker 1: give Ezekiel Eli, give the backs a little bit of

611
00:31:27,160 --> 00:31:30,400
Speaker 1: a cutback lane if he had to play, and they

612
00:31:30,800 --> 00:31:32,760
Speaker 1: pulled him quite a bit. He's a two hundred and

613
00:31:32,840 --> 00:31:36,640
Speaker 1: ninety six pound guy, so he's the he's not a

614
00:31:36,760 --> 00:31:38,480
Speaker 1: you know, he's built more like what you would see

615
00:31:38,520 --> 00:31:41,840
Speaker 1: with Connor Williams. But you see the athletic ability, and

616
00:31:41,880 --> 00:31:44,200
Speaker 1: I think that's why they went and guy, he's he's

617
00:31:44,240 --> 00:31:47,120
Speaker 1: a better He's better than what they were gonna get

618
00:31:47,160 --> 00:31:51,280
Speaker 1: with Marcus Martin. Marcus Martin was a big, boxy, square guy,

619
00:31:51,400 --> 00:31:54,560
Speaker 1: powerful guy. I compared him to Ron Leary the way

620
00:31:54,560 --> 00:31:57,600
Speaker 1: he looked, you know, when Ron Larry was big that way.

621
00:31:57,960 --> 00:32:00,320
Speaker 1: This guy's not. This guy's more of an athlete. And

622
00:32:01,160 --> 00:32:03,240
Speaker 1: I could see why because he's a better scheme fit

623
00:32:03,360 --> 00:32:06,840
Speaker 1: because of the mobility. So they are better at backup

624
00:32:06,880 --> 00:32:09,400
Speaker 1: offensive line. They are better now than what they want.

625
00:32:09,680 --> 00:32:12,480
Speaker 1: And yeah, yeah, because the whole idea was to try

626
00:32:12,480 --> 00:32:17,240
Speaker 1: and find somebody that was better than than uh Kadeem Edward.

627
00:32:17,960 --> 00:32:20,480
Speaker 1: It was the whole idea, ye know, find find you know,

628
00:32:20,680 --> 00:32:22,160
Speaker 1: they went out and they got it some a couple

629
00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:25,600
Speaker 1: of young guys that that have had some experience, have

630
00:32:25,760 --> 00:32:28,320
Speaker 1: played some preseason games. You know, those are the kinds

631
00:32:28,320 --> 00:32:30,280
Speaker 1: of things. I mean, that's what you want. You you

632
00:32:30,760 --> 00:32:34,800
Speaker 1: talk about anger, he's he's a guy that's been you know,

633
00:32:34,840 --> 00:32:37,920
Speaker 1: he's played. I mean, he's he's made some starts and stuff.

634
00:32:37,920 --> 00:32:39,960
Speaker 1: That's what you want. You don't want to throw a

635
00:32:40,040 --> 00:32:43,440
Speaker 1: Kadeem Edwards out there who hasn't had that experience and

636
00:32:43,280 --> 00:32:47,160
Speaker 1: and he's not thirty years old. Exactly. This is not

637
00:32:47,240 --> 00:32:49,480
Speaker 1: a band aid. It's not a band aid. This guy

638
00:32:49,480 --> 00:32:53,120
Speaker 1: can legitimately play, and so you know, that's the whole idea.

639
00:32:53,200 --> 00:32:56,600
Speaker 1: They've they've been chasing this, they've been chasing the swing guys,

640
00:32:56,600 --> 00:32:59,120
Speaker 1: and now they lost their best swing guy. Because their

641
00:32:59,120 --> 00:33:01,720
Speaker 1: best swing guys now having a place as a starting center,

642
00:33:02,360 --> 00:33:04,239
Speaker 1: so right, you know, that's why they had to make

643
00:33:04,280 --> 00:33:06,920
Speaker 1: the moves they did. They've they've gone out and tried

644
00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:09,520
Speaker 1: to address the two spots they were most thin. We

645
00:33:09,640 --> 00:33:12,520
Speaker 1: just talked about safety and interior offensive lines. So they've

646
00:33:12,600 --> 00:33:15,560
Speaker 1: at least they've tried to upgrade there. We'll see if

647
00:33:15,560 --> 00:33:18,040
Speaker 1: they if it works, if they have to use those guys.

648
00:33:18,360 --> 00:33:22,400
Speaker 1: It sounds encouraging on Travis Frederick, although there's no timetable still,

649
00:33:22,520 --> 00:33:25,800
Speaker 1: but obviously they feel optimistic that maybe he can get

650
00:33:25,840 --> 00:33:28,680
Speaker 1: back within the next two months. The fact that he

651
00:33:28,720 --> 00:33:32,120
Speaker 1: was not placed on IR after being on the obviously

652
00:33:32,120 --> 00:33:33,760
Speaker 1: he's going to be on the fifty three to start

653
00:33:33,760 --> 00:33:36,600
Speaker 1: because they want to keep that chance open. But even

654
00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:39,280
Speaker 1: now here we sit on Tuesday and he hasn't been

655
00:33:39,320 --> 00:33:41,840
Speaker 1: placed on IR. That gives you hope. That can't be

656
00:33:41,880 --> 00:33:45,640
Speaker 1: the web blanket guy. Yeah, he Jerry Jones is gambling here.

657
00:33:46,320 --> 00:33:50,640
Speaker 1: He's gambling. They don't know. They don't, right, they don't know,

658
00:33:50,760 --> 00:33:53,840
Speaker 1: and and and in all honesty, I don't think Travis

659
00:33:53,840 --> 00:33:56,239
Speaker 1: Frederick knows, right, and I don't think doctors don't know.

660
00:33:57,280 --> 00:34:01,719
Speaker 1: But they're they're gambling that because Frederick. They're gambling on

661
00:34:01,800 --> 00:34:04,880
Speaker 1: Frederick's ability to to to get you know, he's a

662
00:34:04,880 --> 00:34:08,239
Speaker 1: professional athlete, to get himself in condition. The minute he

663
00:34:08,280 --> 00:34:10,839
Speaker 1: could they say, you can start lifting, you could start

664
00:34:10,960 --> 00:34:13,640
Speaker 1: doing all these things. Travis Frederick will be there twenty

665
00:34:13,640 --> 00:34:16,239
Speaker 1: four hours a day trying to get himself ready to play.

666
00:34:16,400 --> 00:34:18,840
Speaker 1: But they they, they are, they are, they are looking

667
00:34:18,880 --> 00:34:21,520
Speaker 1: at a whole card right now, and they're not sure

668
00:34:21,560 --> 00:34:23,840
Speaker 1: what that whole card is on the river, you know.

669
00:34:24,040 --> 00:34:26,680
Speaker 1: And then I'm using poker terms, right, I got you.

670
00:34:26,840 --> 00:34:30,120
Speaker 1: But they they're they're hoping, they're hoping that they draw

671
00:34:30,160 --> 00:34:34,080
Speaker 1: the inside straight. Clar clarify for me the rule on

672
00:34:34,160 --> 00:34:38,040
Speaker 1: injured reserve and returning from injured reserve. We see it

673
00:34:38,120 --> 00:34:41,480
Speaker 1: is eight weeks from when you get placed on him reserve. Right,

674
00:34:41,600 --> 00:34:45,000
Speaker 1: So there would be if you're sitting there thinking, okay,

675
00:34:45,040 --> 00:34:47,560
Speaker 1: if the doctors say it's going to take some time

676
00:34:47,600 --> 00:34:52,200
Speaker 1: to get his strength back, I mean best case scenario, right,

677
00:34:52,480 --> 00:34:55,880
Speaker 1: best case scenario would be he's back in four weeks whatever.

678
00:34:56,080 --> 00:35:01,560
Speaker 1: Probably yeah, there yet there, but they're there is a

679
00:35:01,600 --> 00:35:05,719
Speaker 1: place somewhere in there where you would want to if

680
00:35:05,760 --> 00:35:08,840
Speaker 1: you if it looks like it's gonna linger, if it

681
00:35:08,920 --> 00:35:11,200
Speaker 1: if it looks like this is the gamble, this is

682
00:35:11,239 --> 00:35:14,240
Speaker 1: the gamble. If he doesn't come back within eight weeks,

683
00:35:15,239 --> 00:35:17,799
Speaker 1: you just you just you put him on ir you

684
00:35:17,920 --> 00:35:19,960
Speaker 1: just go ahead and you just you just say he's done,

685
00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:22,240
Speaker 1: he's the season. Yeah, it just gives you a window

686
00:35:22,239 --> 00:35:25,239
Speaker 1: for a couple months and he can start practicing technically

687
00:35:25,280 --> 00:35:28,359
Speaker 1: after six weeks, I believe. Yeah. But if you went

688
00:35:28,400 --> 00:35:31,920
Speaker 1: ahead and did it now or next week or something,

689
00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:35,319
Speaker 1: you get that eight week started, and now you know that,

690
00:35:35,760 --> 00:35:38,080
Speaker 1: we'll see what happens. But he could be available the

691
00:35:38,120 --> 00:35:42,040
Speaker 1: last seven weeks. I'm saying, the longer you wait, the

692
00:35:42,080 --> 00:35:45,160
Speaker 1: longer you're not gonna in that respect, you're well And

693
00:35:45,280 --> 00:35:48,759
Speaker 1: like I said, I I've been from and I'm not

694
00:35:48,840 --> 00:35:51,640
Speaker 1: betting against the guy, I'm not. I just because we

695
00:35:51,719 --> 00:35:54,760
Speaker 1: don't know well and we don't know, and I haven't

696
00:35:54,760 --> 00:35:56,480
Speaker 1: planned I mean, if I was a personal guy, I

697
00:35:56,520 --> 00:35:59,720
Speaker 1: wouldn't plan on him playing. But you're but you're saying

698
00:35:59,760 --> 00:36:02,959
Speaker 1: this same thing with Romo y his injury a couple

699
00:36:02,960 --> 00:36:05,000
Speaker 1: of years ago, and they went ahead and kept him

700
00:36:05,040 --> 00:36:07,840
Speaker 1: on the fifty three. Right, A little different because that

701
00:36:07,920 --> 00:36:12,799
Speaker 1: was a structural deal where you can kind of project Yeah.

702
00:36:13,200 --> 00:36:15,719
Speaker 1: I will say this because to Brian's point, this is

703
00:36:15,760 --> 00:36:19,120
Speaker 1: something they won't rush if he's not sure, because this

704
00:36:19,200 --> 00:36:21,680
Speaker 1: is about his long term well being with his family

705
00:36:21,719 --> 00:36:23,839
Speaker 1: and I you know, that's the most important thing. So

706
00:36:24,080 --> 00:36:26,000
Speaker 1: I don't think they're going to rush him back because

707
00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:28,719
Speaker 1: he's starting to feel excuse me a little better. Um,

708
00:36:29,360 --> 00:36:32,000
Speaker 1: But the reports they say are encouraged, right, it is,

709
00:36:32,200 --> 00:36:35,160
Speaker 1: it is. That's good. I think the only two people

710
00:36:35,160 --> 00:36:39,600
Speaker 1: that really know this situation well is Travis's doctor and Travis.

711
00:36:40,120 --> 00:36:42,879
Speaker 1: I mean, I really really think, like the Cowboys are

712
00:36:43,080 --> 00:36:45,919
Speaker 1: they have an idea of what but but they're they're there.

713
00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:48,560
Speaker 1: I'm not saying they're flying blind, but there's a lot

714
00:36:48,560 --> 00:36:51,360
Speaker 1: of things that we don't know, I mean, and gritting

715
00:36:51,440 --> 00:36:55,319
Speaker 1: up on this apparent. Yeah, it's there's different severity, right,

716
00:36:55,600 --> 00:36:58,840
Speaker 1: you know, right, and different happens different with different cases.

717
00:36:59,320 --> 00:37:02,520
Speaker 1: And so if they've have been told, I would think

718
00:37:02,600 --> 00:37:04,880
Speaker 1: that there is a chance he could be back within

719
00:37:04,960 --> 00:37:08,160
Speaker 1: eight weeks. And so since there is a chance, they're

720
00:37:08,160 --> 00:37:10,879
Speaker 1: not putting him on no, and there this is they're

721
00:37:10,920 --> 00:37:13,360
Speaker 1: they're they're looking for the they're looking for the inside

722
00:37:13,360 --> 00:37:16,840
Speaker 1: straight like I said, because if if he comes back,

723
00:37:16,880 --> 00:37:19,600
Speaker 1: and if he comes back in five weeks, boy what

724
00:37:19,680 --> 00:37:21,719
Speaker 1: a great move. He comes back in six weeks, boy

725
00:37:21,760 --> 00:37:23,839
Speaker 1: what a great move. He comes back, and said, boy,

726
00:37:23,880 --> 00:37:26,239
Speaker 1: what a great move. Now you're getting eight weeks he

727
00:37:26,280 --> 00:37:28,440
Speaker 1: comes back. You're like, okay, well maybe you could have

728
00:37:28,520 --> 00:37:31,440
Speaker 1: used the spot, but you know, it's still you kept him.

729
00:37:31,440 --> 00:37:34,800
Speaker 1: You're you're just trying to your hope. You're you're playing

730
00:37:34,800 --> 00:37:37,360
Speaker 1: with hope right now. It's what you're doing. And you know,

731
00:37:37,440 --> 00:37:40,080
Speaker 1: sometimes hope is not a very good game plan. You know,

732
00:37:40,360 --> 00:37:43,200
Speaker 1: hope is uh you know, but we'll see, but we

733
00:37:43,280 --> 00:37:45,480
Speaker 1: all hope for the best. Yeah. Well, I mean, hey,

734
00:37:45,560 --> 00:37:47,920
Speaker 1: you know what, they there's some of the best, you know,

735
00:37:48,080 --> 00:37:50,319
Speaker 1: best specialists in the world. They're dealing on this thing.

736
00:37:50,400 --> 00:37:53,839
Speaker 1: I mean, Jerry Jones will not spare any expense to

737
00:37:53,880 --> 00:37:56,080
Speaker 1: make sure, like you said, Rob, that this his life is,

738
00:37:56,120 --> 00:38:00,040
Speaker 1: that Travis's life is okay, and and you know that

739
00:38:00,760 --> 00:38:02,719
Speaker 1: they want to know. They'll do the best they can

740
00:38:02,800 --> 00:38:06,160
Speaker 1: to know. Yeah, what I've heard about it, excuse me again,

741
00:38:06,320 --> 00:38:10,399
Speaker 1: is that the treatment's help and then but some days

742
00:38:10,440 --> 00:38:13,040
Speaker 1: can be better than others. Even after that, you can

743
00:38:13,080 --> 00:38:14,719
Speaker 1: feel good one day and the next day. It's it's

744
00:38:14,719 --> 00:38:18,320
Speaker 1: just it truly is a day to day proposition until

745
00:38:18,600 --> 00:38:21,960
Speaker 1: the symptoms go away, and I think eventually, if you

746
00:38:22,040 --> 00:38:24,359
Speaker 1: catch it early enough, it will. Now it's another thing

747
00:38:24,360 --> 00:38:27,360
Speaker 1: to go up and play all pro level football after this.

748
00:38:27,600 --> 00:38:30,279
Speaker 1: So yeah, I'm with Brian that you just don't know.

749
00:38:31,280 --> 00:38:33,520
Speaker 1: But I like that analogy you're just making. You're making

750
00:38:33,560 --> 00:38:35,719
Speaker 1: a calculator, taking a calculator risk that you can get

751
00:38:35,760 --> 00:38:37,719
Speaker 1: your all pro center back at some point. Yeah, all right,

752
00:38:37,719 --> 00:38:40,080
Speaker 1: And we are taking a calculated risk that there will

753
00:38:40,120 --> 00:38:42,120
Speaker 1: be phone calls for us to go to when we

754
00:38:42,160 --> 00:38:45,640
Speaker 1: come back here on talking cowboys. Cowboys fans know that

755
00:38:45,719 --> 00:38:48,239
Speaker 1: the second best of anything simply won't cut it, and

756
00:38:48,280 --> 00:38:50,799
Speaker 1: your skincare should be no different. A long time locker

Speaker 1: room favored of the players and the official men's skincare

00:42:10,160 --> 00:42:12,600

816
00:42:12,920 --> 00:42:17,680
Speaker 1: they're not going after old Thomas. Did you response to that? Well,

817
00:42:17,719 --> 00:42:19,919
Speaker 1: because they have the extra money, that's why they're going there.

818
00:42:20,080 --> 00:42:22,120
Speaker 1: Why they're not going after Old Thomas, that's the question,

819

Speaker 1: did he Yeah? It takes two to tang. Yeah. And

820
00:42:25,600 --> 00:42:28,160
Speaker 1: if you've listened to me or follow me on Twitter

821
00:42:28,360 --> 00:42:31,880
Speaker 1: or anything, I'm talking about John Snyder and I go

822
00:42:32,040 --> 00:42:35,239
Speaker 1: way back. John was my intern at Green Bay, so

823
00:42:35,520 --> 00:42:37,040
Speaker 1: I know John. But this is one of those things

824
00:42:37,080 --> 00:42:40,480
Speaker 1: that John will not talk to me about because but

825
00:42:40,880 --> 00:42:45,360
Speaker 1: I know why he's doing this. He's not giving this

826
00:42:45,480 --> 00:42:48,320
Speaker 1: guy up because it sets a bad presence in his

827
00:42:48,440 --> 00:42:52,000
Speaker 1: locker room. He doesn't want guys John Gruden gave up.

828
00:42:52,000 --> 00:42:54,319
Speaker 1: I mean, John grew knew he couldn't sign Khalil Mack,

829
00:42:54,480 --> 00:42:56,160
Speaker 1: so he just gave up on it. He took what

830
00:42:56,280 --> 00:42:59,200
Speaker 1: he can get. John doesn't feel that way. I know John.

831
00:42:59,360 --> 00:43:01,400
Speaker 1: John does not feel like he does not want players

832
00:43:01,440 --> 00:43:03,480
Speaker 1: coming in and demanding to be traded and all that.

833
00:43:04,080 --> 00:43:05,919
Speaker 1: You know, I do know for a fact, and talking

834
00:43:05,960 --> 00:43:08,480
Speaker 1: to somebody other than John Snyder. When Earl Thomas went

835
00:43:08,560 --> 00:43:11,000
Speaker 1: and made that little jaunt to the Cowboy locker room.

836
00:43:11,080 --> 00:43:13,040
Speaker 1: John Snyder was ready to get rid of Earl Thomas

837
00:43:13,080 --> 00:43:16,880
Speaker 1: at that point, and Pete Carroll told him, no, no, no, no,

838
00:43:17,080 --> 00:43:18,840
Speaker 1: we're not going to do this. We're not going to

839
00:43:18,880 --> 00:43:20,960
Speaker 1: do this. But now I heard that from some other

840
00:43:21,160 --> 00:43:26,200
Speaker 1: Seattle folks. So, but John is not ready to trade

841
00:43:26,280 --> 00:43:30,480
Speaker 1: Earl Thomas, you know. But it's also in a situation

842
00:43:31,160 --> 00:43:35,120
Speaker 1: too where the minute he is then he needs to

843
00:43:35,200 --> 00:43:38,320
Speaker 1: call Dallas, and Dallas either needs to say yes, we

844
00:43:38,400 --> 00:43:40,880
Speaker 1: can do this or no, we can't do this. You know.

845
00:43:41,520 --> 00:43:45,839
Speaker 1: But they've they've had some conversations. They had conversations during

846
00:43:45,880 --> 00:43:49,359
Speaker 1: the draft. They had they had conversations. When Dallas went

847
00:43:49,440 --> 00:43:52,360
Speaker 1: on the clock at fifty we were here in this

848
00:43:52,560 --> 00:43:55,400
Speaker 1: room draft show. I was thinking they were talking about

849
00:43:55,760 --> 00:43:58,160
Speaker 1: a possibly of a safety. You know, we were the

850
00:43:58,280 --> 00:44:01,000
Speaker 1: kid more. We were talking about him from Southern Missile.

851
00:44:01,120 --> 00:44:03,160
Speaker 1: Maybe they're gonna take this guy here. It's good opportunity

852
00:44:03,160 --> 00:44:05,440
Speaker 1: to grabbing safety. We were thinking about a safety, but

853
00:44:05,480 --> 00:44:08,040
Speaker 1: we were thinking about the wrong safety Stephen Jones was

854
00:44:08,120 --> 00:44:10,760
Speaker 1: on the phone for an extensive period of time talking

855
00:44:10,840 --> 00:44:14,080
Speaker 1: about but they were going to take That's what they

856
00:44:14,120 --> 00:44:18,239
Speaker 1: took Connor Williams. So there see, I don't. I know

857
00:44:18,480 --> 00:44:21,520
Speaker 1: that Seattle is not ready to trade him. Just talking

858
00:44:21,760 --> 00:44:25,800
Speaker 1: everybody but John and I know that Dallas will listen

859
00:44:26,040 --> 00:44:29,960
Speaker 1: once Seattle makes that move. But there's no reason and

860
00:44:30,080 --> 00:44:32,319
Speaker 1: Dallas is not gonna say, okay, we'll go take off

861
00:44:32,360 --> 00:44:34,839
Speaker 1: your hands. Once Seattle makes a call, then you can

862
00:44:34,880 --> 00:44:37,719
Speaker 1: be able to negotiate with Seattle. That's where that's where

863
00:44:37,760 --> 00:44:40,360
Speaker 1: this is going to come down to. I've said this

864
00:44:40,440 --> 00:44:43,279
Speaker 1: all along. It's you've got to have the other team

865
00:44:43,320 --> 00:44:46,840
Speaker 1: be willing to trade the guy, you know, But Seattle,

866
00:44:46,840 --> 00:44:48,920
Speaker 1: I'm also might be putting putting out feelers out there

867
00:44:49,000 --> 00:44:50,920
Speaker 1: saying we want a first round pick, which they're not

868
00:44:51,000 --> 00:44:53,759
Speaker 1: going to get. Wow. Yeah, you know they're not going

869
00:44:53,800 --> 00:44:57,880
Speaker 1: to get that. So I don't it's it's not it.

870
00:44:58,040 --> 00:44:59,920
Speaker 1: This isn't The ball is not in the Cowboys core.

871
00:45:00,520 --> 00:45:02,880
Speaker 1: The ball is in the Seattle Seahawks court. Like the

872
00:45:02,960 --> 00:45:06,720
Speaker 1: caller asked about money, cap space is not an issue.

873
00:45:06,960 --> 00:45:09,279
Speaker 1: They're like they had cap space before the release Dan

874
00:45:09,840 --> 00:45:12,879
Speaker 1: twenty million under the cap right now. Yeah, they're doing fine. Yeah,

875
00:45:12,960 --> 00:45:16,200
Speaker 1: it's now. There were the Dan Bailey release and that

876
00:45:16,320 --> 00:45:18,040
Speaker 1: three and a half million dollars if they want to

877
00:45:18,080 --> 00:45:23,040
Speaker 1: extend guys, if they want money available. Yeah, Jerry Jones

878
00:45:23,080 --> 00:45:26,239
Speaker 1: talked about that this point year. Then that gives him

879
00:45:26,400 --> 00:45:28,759
Speaker 1: three and a half more million dollars to use. They

880
00:45:28,840 --> 00:45:31,160
Speaker 1: have line. Jerry Jones brought it up this morning on

881
00:45:31,239 --> 00:45:33,239
Speaker 1: one oh five three the Fan. He said, you know,

882
00:45:33,440 --> 00:45:35,640
Speaker 1: because the question was asked, do you use the money

883
00:45:35,719 --> 00:45:38,239
Speaker 1: now or do you save the money, And you know,

884
00:45:38,360 --> 00:45:41,480
Speaker 1: he says, Hey, we've got some guys coming up that

885
00:45:41,640 --> 00:45:44,319
Speaker 1: we have to think about. We have some hefty contracts

886
00:45:44,480 --> 00:45:47,680
Speaker 1: looking you know, you talk about with what if DeMarcus

887
00:45:47,800 --> 00:45:51,239
Speaker 1: Lawrence has another great year, you know, Dak Prescott, that's

888
00:45:51,239 --> 00:45:53,240
Speaker 1: gonna be a big contract if he has a gran

889
00:45:53,360 --> 00:45:56,160
Speaker 1: Jones Yeah. I mean they've got guys that young players

890
00:45:56,239 --> 00:45:58,319
Speaker 1: that they want to try and extend and keep here.

891
00:45:58,880 --> 00:46:03,160
Speaker 1: So I know, again the Earl Thomas stuff. When when

892
00:46:03,320 --> 00:46:07,960
Speaker 1: Seattle has had enough, that's when you're gonna have an opportunity,

893
00:46:08,200 --> 00:46:10,560
Speaker 1: because that will be the best time to deal with Seattle.

894
00:46:10,960 --> 00:46:13,760
Speaker 1: That's when Seattle will say, Okay, we will take whatever

895
00:46:14,000 --> 00:46:17,360
Speaker 1: your best offer is. And the Cowboys might not offer

896
00:46:17,480 --> 00:46:21,000
Speaker 1: the best deal. Let's be let's be real, honest, about this.

897
00:46:21,480 --> 00:46:25,120
Speaker 1: John Snyder doesn't owe it to him to trade him

898
00:46:25,160 --> 00:46:27,600
Speaker 1: to Dallas. He can trade him wherever he feels like

899
00:46:28,120 --> 00:46:30,359
Speaker 1: he could get the best offer f him. That's his job.

900
00:46:30,560 --> 00:46:33,239
Speaker 1: In fact, he probably does not want to send him

901
00:46:33,280 --> 00:46:37,239
Speaker 1: to Dallas. Yeah yeah, yeah, A because Dallas is in

902
00:46:37,320 --> 00:46:40,520
Speaker 1: their conference. B because that's what Earl Thomas. But it's

903
00:46:40,600 --> 00:46:43,160
Speaker 1: his job to get the best offers. And if Dallas

904
00:46:43,280 --> 00:46:46,319
Speaker 1: offers the best package to get Earl Thomas, then you'll

905
00:46:46,320 --> 00:46:48,680
Speaker 1: see Earl Thomas being trade. But until Seattle is ready

906
00:46:48,719 --> 00:46:52,799
Speaker 1: to trade him, we're just we're just starting today it now.

907
00:46:53,560 --> 00:46:56,239
Speaker 1: Earl Thomas now gets hit in the pocket book, Yeah

908
00:46:56,400 --> 00:46:58,960
Speaker 1: he does. But in what happens when those fines and

909
00:46:59,040 --> 00:47:02,640
Speaker 1: stuff like that, when they come back, Mysteriously, some team

910
00:47:02,719 --> 00:47:04,759
Speaker 1: just goes, oh, we forgot about the fines. All right,

911
00:47:04,960 --> 00:47:07,080
Speaker 1: We'll forget about the fines if you come back. If

912
00:47:07,120 --> 00:47:09,200
Speaker 1: you come back, we'll just forget about the finals, that's

913
00:47:09,360 --> 00:47:12,920
Speaker 1: all right. Uh. And Rob Wilson on Twitter, he tweets

914
00:47:12,960 --> 00:47:16,440
Speaker 1: at me at CBS eleven Bill Jones, glad you're okay,

915
00:47:16,680 --> 00:47:20,160
Speaker 1: but why the pool and not the shower on my

916
00:47:20,280 --> 00:47:23,440
Speaker 1: little incident fir point day and that smart man. The

917
00:47:23,600 --> 00:47:25,839
Speaker 1: reason the pool and not the shower is my wife

918
00:47:25,880 --> 00:47:28,000
Speaker 1: would let me in the house with plaster all over me.

919
00:47:28,080 --> 00:47:29,480
Speaker 1: So I had to get to this about the host.

920
00:47:29,600 --> 00:47:31,400
Speaker 1: How about back in the day building you ever grow up?

921
00:47:31,480 --> 00:47:34,080
Speaker 1: Your mom took outside. Actually, I had already used the

922
00:47:34,160 --> 00:47:36,880
Speaker 1: garden host and didn't get every garden, so I decided

923
00:47:36,920 --> 00:47:39,360
Speaker 1: I needed to do fully immersed myself. There you go,

924
00:47:39,920 --> 00:47:41,920
Speaker 1: I got a little more than I bargained for. All right,

925
00:47:42,000 --> 00:47:45,719
Speaker 1: let's go to Phil and Louisiana next up. I'm talking cowboys, Phil,

926
00:47:46,640 --> 00:47:49,279
Speaker 1: Morning guys, and Hey Brian. I just wanted to tell

927
00:47:49,280 --> 00:47:51,400
Speaker 1: you I took your advice and I'm gonna be fifty

928
00:47:51,719 --> 00:47:54,759
Speaker 1: get to the point here, Okay, talk to you. It

929
00:47:54,880 --> 00:47:58,879
Speaker 1: was about Travis Frederick and GM bray. Yeah. I want

930
00:47:58,880 --> 00:48:03,399
Speaker 1: to offer an opinion, albeit about his condition. I want

931
00:48:03,440 --> 00:48:08,319
Speaker 1: to be encouraging. It's anecdotal, but based on my dad's

932
00:48:08,400 --> 00:48:12,759
Speaker 1: experience with it, don't believe Travis Frederick will be out

933
00:48:13,280 --> 00:48:18,440
Speaker 1: eight weeks. The very idea that he was walking around

934
00:48:18,600 --> 00:48:22,520
Speaker 1: very soon after the diagnosis and the visual treatments was

935
00:48:22,600 --> 00:48:26,080
Speaker 1: pretty encouraging to me. If he's got his energy and

936
00:48:26,640 --> 00:48:29,320
Speaker 1: it has enough energy to come out stand up for

937
00:48:29,440 --> 00:48:32,280
Speaker 1: a few hours at the game. All these things he's doing,

938
00:48:32,960 --> 00:48:36,080
Speaker 1: then that tells me what's what's he's dealing with now

939
00:48:36,360 --> 00:48:39,280
Speaker 1: is the latent or the hidden effects of the disease,

940
00:48:39,880 --> 00:48:45,240
Speaker 1: not the actual overt things like you know, a loss

941
00:48:45,320 --> 00:48:49,880
Speaker 1: of muscular use or things of that nature. But I

942
00:48:50,040 --> 00:48:53,920
Speaker 1: just feel like if he goes for I mean, I

943
00:48:54,400 --> 00:48:56,280
Speaker 1: don't know if he'll go for but I don't surely

944
00:48:56,280 --> 00:48:58,960
Speaker 1: don't think he'll go eight. But we don't know his

945
00:48:59,080 --> 00:49:02,120
Speaker 1: strength levels. We we don't know. We don't know that.

946
00:49:02,239 --> 00:49:05,560
Speaker 1: I mean, I really appreciate you making this call. I

947
00:49:05,680 --> 00:49:07,520
Speaker 1: know you went through it with your family and all that,

948
00:49:08,239 --> 00:49:11,279
Speaker 1: but this these cases, I mean, we don't know his

949
00:49:11,360 --> 00:49:13,520
Speaker 1: strength level. I mean he could look good walking around

950
00:49:13,600 --> 00:49:16,000
Speaker 1: and all that, but we don't know his strength. Love,

951
00:49:16,000 --> 00:49:17,480
Speaker 1: we don't know how much strength he lost. I mean,

952
00:49:17,520 --> 00:49:21,600
Speaker 1: he could be down fifty percent from his strength levels,

953
00:49:21,800 --> 00:49:23,359
Speaker 1: you know. I mean, he's gonna have to build all

954
00:49:23,440 --> 00:49:27,360
Speaker 1: that back up. So I'm you know, for for us,

955
00:49:27,560 --> 00:49:29,840
Speaker 1: you know, and I keep saying this. I appreciate you

956
00:49:29,960 --> 00:49:33,160
Speaker 1: saying it that you know, this is this is something,

957
00:49:33,239 --> 00:49:36,160
Speaker 1: this is we're sailing like, you know, we're Columbus. The

958
00:49:36,320 --> 00:49:38,399
Speaker 1: need of the pine and the Santa Maria. We're we're

959
00:49:38,480 --> 00:49:41,480
Speaker 1: trying to find land right now, you know, Brian, I

960
00:49:41,520 --> 00:49:44,920
Speaker 1: can tell you this, it's very worse. It just totally

961
00:49:45,040 --> 00:49:48,239
Speaker 1: drops the person there. Sure, but but but again, we

962
00:49:48,320 --> 00:49:51,560
Speaker 1: don't know his strength levels. This is a professional athlete, okay,

963
00:49:51,920 --> 00:49:54,640
Speaker 1: And and and that's where and again I appreciate your

964
00:49:54,920 --> 00:49:59,080
Speaker 1: insight knowledge on this, but we don't know. That's I mean,

965
00:49:59,160 --> 00:50:03,040
Speaker 1: we he could look fine walking around. He's a professional athlete.

966
00:50:03,120 --> 00:50:05,280
Speaker 1: It's a good point you just made. There's two sides

967
00:50:05,320 --> 00:50:08,440
Speaker 1: to it, right, he's a professional athlete, finally tuned athlete,

968
00:50:08,560 --> 00:50:12,720
Speaker 1: young man, can you would think conceivably recover fairly quickly

969
00:50:12,760 --> 00:50:15,080
Speaker 1: if it's caught quickly, right, right, But he's also in

970
00:50:15,160 --> 00:50:18,640
Speaker 1: a profession that you gotta line up and against three

971
00:50:18,760 --> 00:50:22,719
Speaker 1: hundred pound guys, he's not good. Who does Carolina have

972
00:50:22,960 --> 00:50:27,520
Speaker 1: lining up over the center this week? That frigging don

973
00:50:27,640 --> 00:50:35,960
Speaker 1: Terry Pop Terry Bot? Who did the Giants have the yeas? Yeah? Snacks? Yeah?

974
00:50:36,160 --> 00:50:41,120
Speaker 1: So who eats centers for snacks? That's right, So that's

975
00:50:41,160 --> 00:50:43,240
Speaker 1: what you're going up against him. By the way, Phil,

976
00:50:43,360 --> 00:50:47,960
Speaker 1: I really appreciate our word of the day today. Pithy.

977
00:50:48,560 --> 00:50:50,880
Speaker 1: I like that word. He said he was gonna be pithy.

978
00:50:51,000 --> 00:50:52,640
Speaker 1: You know what pithy means. I had to look it

979
00:50:52,760 --> 00:50:56,000
Speaker 1: up myself. I've heard it in a phrase of pithy comments. Yeah,

980
00:50:56,120 --> 00:51:01,359
Speaker 1: so well, that's exactly the way it's used. Apple would

981
00:51:01,360 --> 00:51:07,600
Speaker 1: be pithy would be concise and forcefully expressive, which is

982
00:51:07,760 --> 00:51:10,960
Speaker 1: exactly the way Brian brought us. Wants all of our

983
00:51:11,000 --> 00:51:13,600
Speaker 1: callers to be right, and I would agree. If we

984
00:51:13,719 --> 00:51:16,200
Speaker 1: want to be we want you to be pithy with

985
00:51:16,480 --> 00:51:20,440
Speaker 1: your question, not pissy. We want to be Okay, that's new.

986
00:51:20,520 --> 00:51:24,640
Speaker 1: I thought pithy meant like smartass, but pithy is consticking

987
00:51:24,719 --> 00:51:28,239
Speaker 1: to the point and forcefully expressing. You know, I don't

988
00:51:28,239 --> 00:51:31,080
Speaker 1: mean no disrespect to him, No, no, I mean I

989
00:51:32,200 --> 00:51:35,800
Speaker 1: I just we don't know the strength level of this

990
00:51:36,040 --> 00:51:38,600
Speaker 1: of Frederick, We really don't. I mean, he could be

991
00:51:39,000 --> 00:51:42,640
Speaker 1: way down until until you get to start lifting. All

992
00:51:42,719 --> 00:51:46,120
Speaker 1: of us who are watching the early days of training

993
00:51:46,239 --> 00:51:49,600
Speaker 1: camp looked at Travis and there were some one on

994
00:51:49,760 --> 00:51:52,000
Speaker 1: one battles where he did not look as strong as

995
00:51:52,040 --> 00:51:54,560
Speaker 1: what has been in the past. Right, And I say

996
00:51:54,640 --> 00:51:58,480
Speaker 1: that based on his statement that he released at the

997
00:51:58,600 --> 00:52:00,960
Speaker 1: time that he was. It was announced that he was

998
00:52:01,040 --> 00:52:04,200
Speaker 1: diagnosed with this, he said over the last four weeks.

999
00:52:04,239 --> 00:52:05,959
Speaker 1: I think it was something that he had been dealing

1000
00:52:06,040 --> 00:52:08,439
Speaker 1: with since the start a training game. And we thought

1001
00:52:08,480 --> 00:52:10,840
Speaker 1: they were stingers because usually when you have that stinger

1002
00:52:10,920 --> 00:52:13,359
Speaker 1: issue in your neck and shoulder lack of string, it's

1003
00:52:13,360 --> 00:52:16,560
Speaker 1: a strength issue. And that's what someone asked me. A

1004
00:52:16,680 --> 00:52:18,560
Speaker 1: friend of mine asked me, well, didn't he get hit?

1005
00:52:18,800 --> 00:52:22,160
Speaker 1: And that was when Antoine Woods and him got into

1006
00:52:22,239 --> 00:52:26,239
Speaker 1: the little breakas whatever. Woods became a player all the same, right,

1007
00:52:26,440 --> 00:52:29,960
Speaker 1: and and we'll go we'll look at it. We'll look

1008
00:52:30,000 --> 00:52:32,600
Speaker 1: back at Antoine woods career and think back to that

1009
00:52:32,760 --> 00:52:35,920
Speaker 1: movement in Oxnard. That's how you get invest in Travis

1010
00:52:35,960 --> 00:52:37,480
Speaker 1: Frederick there and all of a sudden he went dad.

1011
00:52:37,600 --> 00:52:39,800
Speaker 1: He went from the all pro tackle fourth string to

1012
00:52:39,920 --> 00:52:43,759
Speaker 1: first string. It one fell swoop, one fell swipe of

1013
00:52:43,880 --> 00:52:49,560
Speaker 1: Travis Frederick's jaw. All right, uh, Cowboys report back today

1014
00:52:49,760 --> 00:52:53,400
Speaker 1: after the long weekend. What do you think those players

1015
00:52:53,440 --> 00:52:56,040
Speaker 1: would think? It is they hit the star today. This

1016
00:52:56,239 --> 00:52:58,680
Speaker 1: is it's time, It's go time. Yeah. I think that

1017
00:52:58,880 --> 00:53:01,399
Speaker 1: you know, with the players, the coaches, you know they'll

1018
00:53:01,400 --> 00:53:03,560
Speaker 1: come in they'll have the run. Now, now is when

1019
00:53:03,600 --> 00:53:06,120
Speaker 1: the routine begins. You know, this is now for the

1020
00:53:06,200 --> 00:53:08,719
Speaker 1: next seventeen weeks. You get into a routine. You get

1021
00:53:08,760 --> 00:53:11,160
Speaker 1: into a routine of you know, when you come in,

1022
00:53:11,400 --> 00:53:13,879
Speaker 1: when you lift, when you meet, when you eat, when

1023
00:53:13,920 --> 00:53:16,120
Speaker 1: you meet, when you practice, when you you know, you

1024
00:53:16,320 --> 00:53:18,520
Speaker 1: do your own work on the side. You know, Sean

1025
00:53:18,640 --> 00:53:21,680
Speaker 1: Lee and those guys, and hopefully these young guys will

1026
00:53:21,719 --> 00:53:24,040
Speaker 1: fall along some of the leads that you know, they

1027
00:53:24,040 --> 00:53:26,800
Speaker 1: have guys working and getting ready, you know for these games.

1028
00:53:27,040 --> 00:53:30,160
Speaker 1: It's it's it's a strange thing. And I don't know.

1029
00:53:30,239 --> 00:53:33,440
Speaker 1: I mean, you guys know this better than most that

1030
00:53:33,880 --> 00:53:35,759
Speaker 1: you it's week one and then the next thing you know,

1031
00:53:35,880 --> 00:53:38,799
Speaker 1: you'll wake up and it's week seven. I was just thinking,

1032
00:53:39,800 --> 00:53:45,279
Speaker 1: it happens fast. It happens really fast. And but this

1033
00:53:45,520 --> 00:53:48,439
Speaker 1: is where you know, you go to Carolina and I'm

1034
00:53:48,440 --> 00:53:50,640
Speaker 1: just gonna say this. They have got to find a

1035
00:53:50,680 --> 00:53:52,200
Speaker 1: way if they want to be a playoff team. Not

1036
00:53:52,280 --> 00:53:53,920
Speaker 1: only you think about what you have to do in

1037
00:53:53,960 --> 00:53:56,360
Speaker 1: your own division, which will be very difficult in itself.

1038
00:53:57,280 --> 00:53:59,440
Speaker 1: You cannot go and be one in three against the

1039
00:54:00,120 --> 00:54:02,680
Speaker 1: NFC South. Those are the teams you are battling for

1040
00:54:02,960 --> 00:54:05,279
Speaker 1: if you if even if you're in a even if

1041
00:54:05,280 --> 00:54:08,520
Speaker 1: you're in a wild card spot, you were battling those teams.

1042
00:54:08,560 --> 00:54:11,160
Speaker 1: I mean they put three teams last year in the playoffs.

1043
00:54:11,600 --> 00:54:13,600
Speaker 1: You now you got to think about the teams, you know.

1044
00:54:13,800 --> 00:54:16,040
Speaker 1: I mean you're in a battle with Seattle probably depend

1045
00:54:16,080 --> 00:54:18,720
Speaker 1: on what the Rams do you play them. You cannot

1046
00:54:18,840 --> 00:54:21,759
Speaker 1: go out and give these games away. You cannot go

1047
00:54:21,840 --> 00:54:24,719
Speaker 1: out and be one and three against How about the

1048
00:54:24,760 --> 00:54:27,440
Speaker 1: first four games of this season? Well, yeah, and you

1049
00:54:27,520 --> 00:54:29,680
Speaker 1: think about it. If you look at it, there's another

1050
00:54:29,719 --> 00:54:31,800
Speaker 1: team you think about. Detroit is the fourth team in

1051
00:54:31,880 --> 00:54:33,840
Speaker 1: the in the in the way it is. I just

1052
00:54:34,000 --> 00:54:35,879
Speaker 1: think I just think the I think a lot will

1053
00:54:36,000 --> 00:54:38,719
Speaker 1: hinge on this, on this NFC North, I mean this

1054
00:54:38,840 --> 00:54:41,879
Speaker 1: NFC South. I just don't. You just can't go through

1055
00:54:42,120 --> 00:54:44,400
Speaker 1: and be one and three against these guys, because at

1056
00:54:44,400 --> 00:54:45,880
Speaker 1: the end of the day, when they line them up

1057
00:54:45,880 --> 00:54:48,480
Speaker 1: in December, they're gonna say, oh wait, Falcons were one

1058
00:54:48,560 --> 00:54:50,279
Speaker 1: game better than you. Now they get to go play

1059
00:54:50,480 --> 00:54:53,520
Speaker 1: you know, they get to go play a wild card

1060
00:54:53,600 --> 00:54:55,520
Speaker 1: game against the Rams, and then what they do. They

1061
00:54:55,560 --> 00:54:57,160
Speaker 1: beat the Rams and then they turn out now they're

1062
00:54:57,160 --> 00:54:59,439
Speaker 1: playing against the Eagles, and there were one really bad

1063
00:54:59,640 --> 00:55:02,799
Speaker 1: play call away from being in the NFC Championship game.

1064
00:55:03,280 --> 00:55:06,160
Speaker 1: So you cannot, you cannot go out there and just

1065
00:55:06,440 --> 00:55:08,719
Speaker 1: and give these games away. You gotta be ready, You

1066
00:55:08,760 --> 00:55:11,279
Speaker 1: gotta get out of the blocks. Is Carolina game is

1067
00:55:11,360 --> 00:55:14,080
Speaker 1: really huge, and not only to start the season, but

1068
00:55:14,560 --> 00:55:17,200
Speaker 1: also to find a way to keep Carolina behind you

1069
00:55:17,400 --> 00:55:20,120
Speaker 1: in the playoff hunt because you, yeah, your point is

1070
00:55:20,160 --> 00:55:22,400
Speaker 1: head to head tiebreakers when it comes down to December.

1071
00:55:22,880 --> 00:55:24,920
Speaker 1: And Bill, you talked about the first four games. Look

1072
00:55:24,960 --> 00:55:28,080
Speaker 1: at the quarterbacks. They're facing Cam Newton, Eli Manning with

1073
00:55:28,280 --> 00:55:30,759
Speaker 1: maybe a better cast around him and better running game

1074
00:55:30,760 --> 00:55:34,960
Speaker 1: for better running game for sure, Russ Wilson and Matt Stafford.

1075
00:55:35,040 --> 00:55:37,320
Speaker 1: And we've talked about how good this defense has looked.

1076
00:55:37,920 --> 00:55:40,719
Speaker 1: They may have to carry things this first month and

1077
00:55:40,760 --> 00:55:44,719
Speaker 1: at least keep things interesting for the offense. And then

1078
00:55:44,840 --> 00:55:47,600
Speaker 1: you look at the second four. I mean, yeah, you

1079
00:55:47,719 --> 00:55:51,520
Speaker 1: go to week five and you've got three AFC South

1080
00:55:51,640 --> 00:55:54,880
Speaker 1: teams in that second quarter of the season at Houston

1081
00:55:54,960 --> 00:55:57,600
Speaker 1: and Jacksonville, and you got atwashing to split there. Somehow.

1082
00:55:57,800 --> 00:55:59,120
Speaker 1: You got to find a way to maybe go win

1083
00:55:59,200 --> 00:56:01,400
Speaker 1: a game at Houston or take care of Jacksonville at home.

1084
00:56:01,560 --> 00:56:03,879
Speaker 1: Those are two potential. You could say what you want

1085
00:56:03,880 --> 00:56:06,320
Speaker 1: about Houston, but we saw them the other day. I

1086
00:56:06,440 --> 00:56:08,480
Speaker 1: know that was a lot of their backups and stuff

1087
00:56:08,520 --> 00:56:11,160
Speaker 1: like that. Plan that's a good roster though, that's a

1088
00:56:11,280 --> 00:56:15,000
Speaker 1: really good roster. And and and the fact we didn't yeah,

1089
00:56:15,000 --> 00:56:17,000
Speaker 1: and we didn't even get to see Watson, you know,

1090
00:56:17,120 --> 00:56:19,319
Speaker 1: the quarterback there. I mean he could be a very

1091
00:56:19,600 --> 00:56:23,600
Speaker 1: nineteen touchdown passes in six starts last year. Yeah, I

1092
00:56:23,680 --> 00:56:26,080
Speaker 1: mean they were averaging like forty points a game back

1093
00:56:26,120 --> 00:56:28,680
Speaker 1: to back. That's two back to back defenses right there.

1094
00:56:28,760 --> 00:56:31,280
Speaker 1: That are going to be if they're healthy. If they're healthy,

1095
00:56:31,400 --> 00:56:35,040
Speaker 1: that's right. Yes, I just I there's the schedule has

1096
00:56:35,080 --> 00:56:37,840
Speaker 1: got a lot of those. You just can't ride the

1097
00:56:37,960 --> 00:56:41,000
Speaker 1: roller coaster here. You can't afford to just trade games

1098
00:56:41,239 --> 00:56:43,359
Speaker 1: up and down, up and down, up and down. Can't

1099
00:56:43,400 --> 00:56:45,239
Speaker 1: do that. You gotta find a way. When they won,

1100
00:56:45,320 --> 00:56:47,279
Speaker 1: when they won that eleven straight games in a row,

1101
00:56:47,480 --> 00:56:50,000
Speaker 1: well they do they FC North, which I thought was

1102
00:56:50,040 --> 00:56:52,480
Speaker 1: gonna be really, really difficult. And they also swept the

1103
00:56:52,680 --> 00:56:55,640
Speaker 1: NFC North if you remember Green Bay to Troy also

1104
00:56:55,800 --> 00:56:58,800
Speaker 1: swept all the road games. Yeah. Yeah, so there's no excuse.

1105
00:56:58,920 --> 00:57:00,719
Speaker 1: I mean, if you're going to be a thirteen not

1106
00:57:00,840 --> 00:57:03,440
Speaker 1: not to say the Cowboys are going to be or

1107
00:57:03,600 --> 00:57:05,879
Speaker 1: need even but to win the division. But to win

1108
00:57:05,960 --> 00:57:07,799
Speaker 1: the division, you gotta go on the road and win.

1109
00:57:07,960 --> 00:57:09,240
Speaker 1: You've got to go in the road. And it starts

1110
00:57:09,239 --> 00:57:11,759
Speaker 1: at Carolina this weekend. Right, you probably need ten wins.

1111
00:57:12,200 --> 00:57:14,200
Speaker 1: I need ten wins to get in the playoffs this year. Yeah,

1112
00:57:14,560 --> 00:57:16,720
Speaker 1: and so, and I think these first four games are

1113
00:57:16,760 --> 00:57:20,320
Speaker 1: so important and so don't get behind the eighth. See,

1114
00:57:20,480 --> 00:57:22,320
Speaker 1: this is where this is where you know when I

1115
00:57:22,760 --> 00:57:25,120
Speaker 1: don't like it when fans say this, I hate the

1116
00:57:25,240 --> 00:57:29,160
Speaker 1: must win game. This is a must win game, you know. Yeah,

1117
00:57:29,280 --> 00:57:31,840
Speaker 1: they're all must win because you only play sixteen. That's

1118
00:57:31,880 --> 00:57:34,760
Speaker 1: why it's the beauty of the NFL. Every game is

1119
00:57:34,880 --> 00:57:38,360
Speaker 1: must win. They must win against Carolina. They must People say, oh,

1120
00:57:38,400 --> 00:57:40,200
Speaker 1: you can't go through life like that. Yeah, I can,

1121
00:57:40,600 --> 00:57:43,320
Speaker 1: because they're only sixteen of these things. And at the

1122
00:57:43,400 --> 00:57:47,000
Speaker 1: end of the day, there's not Major League Baseball can't

1123
00:57:47,080 --> 00:57:50,720
Speaker 1: rest guys too. You can't cannibal sixteen days. You cannot

1124
00:57:50,760 --> 00:57:53,560
Speaker 1: afford a four game losing streak in the NFL. You

1125
00:57:53,720 --> 00:57:55,800
Speaker 1: do that, you're gonna you're not gonna be in the playoffs.

1126
00:57:56,000 --> 00:57:58,360
Speaker 1: Two you go and two you start over. Do the

1127
00:57:58,440 --> 00:58:01,320
Speaker 1: research on how many teams will the four game losing streak.

1128
00:58:01,440 --> 00:58:04,000
Speaker 1: Ye have made it even to the playoffs much less.

1129
00:58:04,280 --> 00:58:08,640
Speaker 1: I think it's San Diego like in ninety eight. Start seriously,

1130
00:58:08,720 --> 00:58:10,520
Speaker 1: I think I think they were one of the few.

1131
00:58:10,760 --> 00:58:14,840
Speaker 1: But it doesn't happen. You've but these these games are

1132
00:58:14,880 --> 00:58:18,280
Speaker 1: all must win, and I've I've always treated him that way,

1133
00:58:18,400 --> 00:58:20,960
Speaker 1: always treat him that way. All right, how does it

1134
