00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:27,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, it feels different in here, and there's a lot

25
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:29,840
Speaker 3: of stuff to talk about, both uphand both down for

26
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:32,280
Speaker 3: the Cowboys, at least over the last weekend and week

27
00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:35,320
Speaker 3: of work. But wow, I mean, hey, week ones here.

28
00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:37,520
Speaker 3: You excited, Nick? This is your first go at it too?

29
00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:39,240
Speaker 6: Yeah? Yeah, yeah, I'm definitely excited.

30
00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:40,800
Speaker 7: Not only is it my first go at it, but

31
00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:42,679
Speaker 7: you know, I feel pretty good about where this team

32
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:45,400
Speaker 7: is at and then what it can accomplish. I'm really

33
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:47,000
Speaker 7: excited about getting this going for sure.

34
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:49,960
Speaker 2: John, you ready to get back to the grind of things. Yeah.

35
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:51,400
Speaker 8: For me, it's all about the offense.

36
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:53,520
Speaker 9: Just because we didn't get to see it in any

37
00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:55,200
Speaker 9: of the preseason games. You didn't get to see him

38
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:58,160
Speaker 9: practice against another team, so there's a lot of you know,

39
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:02,960
Speaker 9: unpredictable to it that I'm really excited about, just because

40
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:05,040
Speaker 9: we know this is one of the best teams in

41
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:08,280
Speaker 9: the NFC. But it's always like, Okay, well you fell

42
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:09,880
Speaker 9: short in the playoffs, how do you take that next step?

43
00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:11,040
Speaker 9: What is going to be the thing that gets you

44
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:12,519
Speaker 9: to the next level? And it very well could be

45
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:14,200
Speaker 9: their defense And we can look back on this and

46
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:16,280
Speaker 9: be like it was kind of overblown talking all about

47
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:18,920
Speaker 9: the offense. Team's about the defense now whatever, But there's

48
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:20,800
Speaker 9: just so much that I want to see from the

49
00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:24,000
Speaker 9: offense that that remains my number one thing that has

50
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:25,760
Speaker 9: got me probably more excited for the start of this

51
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:27,519
Speaker 9: season than any other since I've covered the team.

52
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:31,560
Speaker 3: So you're excited about the potential there on offense, and

53
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:35,080
Speaker 3: I think the identity to this team, Isaiah, what would

54
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:36,560
Speaker 3: you say the identity is?

55
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:38,120
Speaker 5: Is it just defense, it's just.

56
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:40,560
Speaker 2: All defense, there's no real specific to it.

57
00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:44,760
Speaker 3: Or is it pass rush or levels or what would

58
00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:46,520
Speaker 3: you I want you to get specific with.

59
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:47,920
Speaker 5: How just get detailed.

60
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:51,919
Speaker 2: You want to get gritty, what's weak one? No more generalities.

61
00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:54,280
Speaker 4: I think teams fear because that's what I think that

62
00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:56,359
Speaker 4: we need to lean towards. We start talking about what

63
00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:59,000
Speaker 4: the makeup of this team is. Teams fear the pass rush.

64
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:01,400
Speaker 4: When you think of the Dallas Cowboys, you fear their

65
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:03,440
Speaker 4: pass rush, And I think that's the first thing you

66
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:05,240
Speaker 4: need to go to whenever you face an opponent.

67
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:05,960
Speaker 5: What do we fear?

68
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:07,919
Speaker 4: Right, that's the first thing we need to attack, right,

69
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:09,600
Speaker 4: We need to we need to find a solution for that,

70
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:11,800
Speaker 4: and then we can start working all way through everything else.

71
00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:14,840
Speaker 4: But if you don't have a solution for Dallas's pass rush,

72
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:15,600
Speaker 4: you don't see.

73
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:17,680
Speaker 9: Any chance, especially with what they added on the back

74
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:20,520
Speaker 9: end with Gilmour, another year for Bland, another year for Diggs,

75
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:22,840
Speaker 9: another year for that secondary to be together.

76
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:27,240
Speaker 8: It just it all plays into like they just they would.

77
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:28,400
Speaker 9: Love for teams to just sit back and have to

78
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:30,720
Speaker 9: throw all day, you know, And so obviously teams aren't

79
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:32,240
Speaker 9: gonna do that. I expect the Giants to come out

80
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:33,800
Speaker 9: and try and run the ball and try and win

81
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:35,080
Speaker 9: that way. And obviously that's why you go out and

82
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:38,160
Speaker 9: draft a Massie Smith and you resigned Jonathan Hankins. So

83
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:41,280
Speaker 9: that'll be the key, is to stop the run because

84
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:43,360
Speaker 9: if they do that, everything else to take care of itself.

85
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:45,240
Speaker 3: It kind of goes back to what we've talked about

86
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:47,920
Speaker 3: previously on this show, both last year and then through

87
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:50,160
Speaker 3: the off season, is if you give this pass rush

88
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:51,800
Speaker 3: another half second.

89
00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:54,840
Speaker 2: The numbers could explode. I mean, and that's it. That's

90
00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:56,080
Speaker 2: all it takes on average.

91
00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:57,880
Speaker 3: If you give them another half second to get to

92
00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:00,440
Speaker 3: the quarterback, give them maybe even a little bit more

93
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:02,600
Speaker 3: than that, You give him a full second, and all

94
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:05,240
Speaker 3: of a sudden Michael Parsons could be Defensive Player of

95
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:08,480
Speaker 3: the Year. That secondary never gave them that time or

96
00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:11,000
Speaker 3: at least a good enough amount of time for them

97
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:12,160
Speaker 3: to really explode.

98
00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:14,920
Speaker 2: Now you look at it and say this secondary could

99
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 2: do so one thousand percent.

100
00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:18,680
Speaker 7: Michael Parsons said during training camp that the addition of

101
00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:20,720
Speaker 7: Stefan Gilmore is going to give him at least three

102
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:21,279
Speaker 7: more sacks.

103
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:21,760
Speaker 5: I like it.

104
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:24,920
Speaker 7: I think there's a lot of truth in that. But yeah,

105
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:27,200
Speaker 7: with this pass rush, I'm very curious to see how

106
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:29,679
Speaker 7: they come out just the defensive front. I'm very curious

107
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:31,080
Speaker 7: to see how they come out against the run because

108
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:33,120
Speaker 7: that's going to be the biggest indicator of how successful

109
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:35,280
Speaker 7: this defense is in my opinion. We know the pass

110
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:36,800
Speaker 7: rush is going to be fine. We know they're going

111
00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:39,240
Speaker 7: to be great in coverage. The one weakness that they

112
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:41,360
Speaker 7: had last year, has that been solved? Has it been

113
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:43,000
Speaker 7: worked one enough to the fact to where it's not

114
00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:45,800
Speaker 7: a weakness anymore? You know, I like how they finished

115
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:48,200
Speaker 7: the season with Hankins last year. Can they rotate with

116
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:50,640
Speaker 7: Hankins and Mazi throughout the season and it be healthy

117
00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:52,800
Speaker 7: and it be you know, efficient, That's That's what I'm

118
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:54,279
Speaker 7: going to be looking for. And they have a really

119
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:56,200
Speaker 7: tough stretch to start the season, So we're gonna find

120
00:04:56,200 --> 00:05:00,200
Speaker 7: out really early on Saquon Barkley, Dalvin Cook, James Connor,

121
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:02,320
Speaker 7: Christian McCaffery. I mean, the list, the list goes down,

122
00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:04,360
Speaker 7: it's it's not gonna get any easier until you're bye week.

123
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:09,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, when we're talking about identity and fearing the strength

124
00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:11,960
Speaker 3: of certain teams, John, when you look at New York

125
00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:14,080
Speaker 3: coming up this week, what do you fear about New York?

126
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:17,480
Speaker 9: I mean their defensive tackles are real good. Yeah, that

127
00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:19,800
Speaker 9: that certainly could be an issue there when you have,

128
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:25,400
Speaker 9: you know, Tyler Battish and then you have uh an

129
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:28,120
Speaker 9: injury to Tyler Smith with a hamstring. So it doesn't

130
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:30,000
Speaker 9: sound like it'll be something that might keep him out.

131
00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:32,240
Speaker 2: But let's talk about that a little bit. Because as

132
00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:33,880
Speaker 2: of twenty minutes ago, an.

133
00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:37,080
Speaker 3: Update posted on Dallas Cowboys dot com added caution being

134
00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:39,480
Speaker 3: taken with Tyler Smith this week is the Cowboys prepared

135
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:42,240
Speaker 3: to open their season. Former first round pick will undergo

136
00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:44,919
Speaker 3: a precautionary MRI on Tuesday.

137
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:49,719
Speaker 9: So you don't love your offensive line depth because of

138
00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:52,440
Speaker 9: that can we just talk about this yeah, yeah, but

139
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:53,840
Speaker 9: the interior.

140
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:57,200
Speaker 2: A couple times, actually a few times, dag nab it.

141
00:05:57,279 --> 00:05:59,760
Speaker 5: That's the one position group that you can't afford an

142
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:04,720
Speaker 5: we talked about one position particular.

143
00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:07,400
Speaker 6: Yeah, guard, is this our fault?

144
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:09,760
Speaker 5: Maybe we talked about we said you can move, you

145
00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:13,520
Speaker 5: could tackle. Something that can happen at the tackle position, right,

146
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:15,320
Speaker 5: hopefully not center.

147
00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:18,680
Speaker 4: But guard we're like guard, there's no room for error, Like,

148
00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:20,440
Speaker 4: there's no room at all.

149
00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:21,480
Speaker 6: You gotta start knocking on one.

150
00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:23,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, beam, where's the wood in this new ste right here?

151
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:27,240
Speaker 2: I guess that's the that's the closest thing.

152
00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:32,640
Speaker 8: That grove up front with Dexter Lawrence Lean Williams.

153
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:33,320
Speaker 5: They're nasty.

154
00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:34,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're nasty.

155
00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:36,760
Speaker 4: Then we know about the NFC East, right, the NFC

156
00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:39,360
Speaker 4: East gets into the trenches. That's what the NFC East

157
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:41,920
Speaker 4: has been known for. That is the identity of the East.

158
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:42,200
Speaker 2: Right.

159
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:45,360
Speaker 4: Well, these guys they continue to be strong, right, and

160
00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:47,120
Speaker 4: the New York Giants they have a two headed monster

161
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:49,600
Speaker 4: in there, just much like the Dallas Cowboys have a

162
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:52,080
Speaker 4: two headed monster on the outside at cornerback and at

163
00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:52,720
Speaker 4: defensive end.

164
00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:54,240
Speaker 5: They have a two headed monster at.

165
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:56,679
Speaker 4: The defensive tackle position, and that is where their question

166
00:06:56,800 --> 00:06:58,599
Speaker 4: mark is now risen.

167
00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:03,919
Speaker 5: Because of the question marked with who Tyler? So it's scary.

168
00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:06,000
Speaker 7: It doesn't get any better with Kavon Sibbodo on the

169
00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:08,000
Speaker 7: outside as well, get any But.

170
00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:10,880
Speaker 4: We don't need to keep bringing up I mean, but

171
00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:12,440
Speaker 4: you know, but you know, but I feel I feel

172
00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:14,880
Speaker 4: good about our tackles right like I really do, and

173
00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:17,800
Speaker 4: I feel good about our about Dallas's offensive line as

174
00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:21,040
Speaker 4: an as a whole. However, as we mentioned last week's

175
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:24,080
Speaker 4: you can't afford an injury to the interior office line

176
00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:28,080
Speaker 4: because you don't have a solid, confident option to roll

177
00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:29,600
Speaker 4: in there and say, okay, I guess well, you can

178
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:32,040
Speaker 4: feel that void if something was that happened to the tackle,

179
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:34,440
Speaker 4: we alread knew what the game plan was, right, cupid shuffle,

180
00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:36,920
Speaker 4: you bump Tyler Smith out, Bloom boo boom, everybody fits in.

181
00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:41,360
Speaker 9: We're good now what Yeah, that's the thing too with hamstrings,

182
00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:43,440
Speaker 9: you just don't want it to linger. So that's probably

183
00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:45,880
Speaker 9: why you want the MRI because he could sit there

184
00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:48,400
Speaker 9: and say after they he's feeling better and everything's fine.

185
00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:50,360
Speaker 9: But you want to make sure that you take every

186
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:53,520
Speaker 9: possible you know, plan of attack on that, because you

187
00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:54,880
Speaker 9: don't want it to be something that you're dealing with

188
00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:55,560
Speaker 9: all season long.

189
00:07:55,600 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 4: And hammy, hammy sucked because in a controlled environment there,

190
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:01,800
Speaker 4: you know, on the on the way back from you know,

191
00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:04,160
Speaker 4: mending an injury, you can feel pretty good, right, you know,

192
00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:06,720
Speaker 4: a little strength test, You're good, k little hamstring curl,

193
00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:08,600
Speaker 4: you can isolate it, okay, But when it comes to

194
00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:10,720
Speaker 4: the quick twitch and the changing directions and all those things.

195
00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:13,840
Speaker 4: And obviously I don't know exactly how he got injured,

196
00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:15,960
Speaker 4: exactly what caused it, what movement he was doing.

197
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:17,880
Speaker 2: Were you out there, Nick, were you able to see

198
00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:18,720
Speaker 2: that portion of practice?

199
00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:21,239
Speaker 7: So the offensive line was on the very very far side,

200
00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:24,080
Speaker 7: and we just kind of caught him walking in right

201
00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:25,920
Speaker 7: towards the end of the media session yesterday, and then

202
00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:28,040
Speaker 7: Joe Jim Mauer was right almost said Joe Mauer.

203
00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:29,880
Speaker 6: Jim Maler was coming in right behind him.

204
00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:33,360
Speaker 2: So Minnesota Twins awesome football player.

205
00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:37,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think with yeah, because for those of you

206
00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:39,679
Speaker 3: at home, the media doesn't get to watch the entirety

207
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:42,040
Speaker 3: of practice anymore. So even if these injuries pop up

208
00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:44,080
Speaker 3: in practice, it's hard to see unless you're one on

209
00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:46,280
Speaker 3: the field and two in the right spot because they

210
00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:48,720
Speaker 3: really limit you to one side of the field, so

211
00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:50,559
Speaker 3: whenever you're looking across the side, it's.

212
00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:52,839
Speaker 2: You couldn't even really see anything like that.

213
00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:53,280
Speaker 10: Yeah it.

214
00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:55,320
Speaker 7: Jerry Jones did just say on the fan about thirty

215
00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:57,360
Speaker 7: minutes ago. We'll get an MRI on that today. But

216
00:08:57,400 --> 00:09:00,000
Speaker 7: we felt better about that after we assess it after practice.

217
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:03,520
Speaker 7: You always are concerned initially. Nothing we've evaluated keeps him

218
00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:05,199
Speaker 7: out Sunday at this point.

219
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:06,320
Speaker 5: So it's good, you know.

220
00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:08,600
Speaker 6: I guess that's that's good optimistic.

221
00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:14,679
Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, I think he said it because it's a

222
00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:16,760
Speaker 9: Sunday night game and he probably has it like thinking

223
00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:17,920
Speaker 9: of Monday night type thing.

224
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:20,280
Speaker 4: But for sure, for sure either way from those de

225
00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:22,040
Speaker 4: tackles are going to be liking the tops.

226
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:24,839
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, because they're going to see the injury report.

227
00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:26,880
Speaker 2: Absolutely going to go right there.

228
00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:29,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, Tyler Smith will be tested in week one, no

229
00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:30,520
Speaker 3: doubt about it.

230
00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:31,880
Speaker 2: From whether he's healthy or not.

231
00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:35,360
Speaker 9: From your standpoint, if you going into this knowing that

232
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:38,199
Speaker 9: A we might have a tough time at handling their

233
00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:40,520
Speaker 9: defensive tackles, how do you combat that?

234
00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:41,400
Speaker 8: What do you have to do?

235
00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:41,800
Speaker 2: Like?

236
00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:43,680
Speaker 8: What what do you have to do.

237
00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:46,000
Speaker 9: Offensively to kind of bring in some extra protection there

238
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:46,920
Speaker 9: to make sure that you're good.

239
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:49,839
Speaker 4: Well, first, I mean this offense is made to stop

240
00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:53,120
Speaker 4: a pass rush, Okay, So that's first off. Dak's not

241
00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:54,720
Speaker 4: going to be back there holding the ball. I don't

242
00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:57,199
Speaker 4: care what defensive front you're you're facing. So that's the

243
00:09:57,320 --> 00:10:00,960
Speaker 4: positive thing about this offense. And I think that was

244
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:03,559
Speaker 4: an intentional change from last year based upon some of

245
00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:05,800
Speaker 4: the struggles that Dak had. Right they wanted to get

246
00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:08,120
Speaker 4: the ball out of his hand, quicker, easier decisions. Let's

247
00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:09,559
Speaker 4: not hold it, Let's not force him to have to

248
00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:12,280
Speaker 4: make these decisions where the possibly can have some interceptions.

249
00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:15,080
Speaker 4: So I think they are literally blanketing him in that

250
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:18,200
Speaker 4: way protection wise. But in terms of the running game,

251
00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:20,880
Speaker 4: get these guys moving, get a movie, get down on it.

252
00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:22,880
Speaker 4: Rent the ball right at Tibeteaum freaking ay. We know

253
00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:24,600
Speaker 4: you can pass rest well, we're gonna run this ball.

254
00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:28,800
Speaker 4: Tyronsman can come at you, okay, that heavy pocket, uh

255
00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:30,040
Speaker 4: Terry is still gonna come at you.

256
00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:30,360
Speaker 5: Okay.

257
00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:32,560
Speaker 4: We're gonna run this ball right down your face mask

258
00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:35,040
Speaker 4: and force you to stop us. And then the big

259
00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:36,680
Speaker 4: boys in the middle, we're going to see exactly what

260
00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:38,880
Speaker 4: your win is looking like and how that conditioning worked

261
00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:39,760
Speaker 4: this off season for you.

262
00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:41,800
Speaker 7: Speak of the running game, one thing I'm really looking

263
00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:43,320
Speaker 7: forward to seeing and I want to see it first

264
00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:44,199
Speaker 7: drive re option.

265
00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:46,400
Speaker 6: I want it back. I want to see Dak back

266
00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:47,480
Speaker 6: out that slow.

267
00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:48,560
Speaker 5: That was slow Tobeau down.

268
00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:51,400
Speaker 6: Yeah, absolutely wanted to keep him off balanced.

269
00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:53,600
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, because we haven't seen that in the last

270
00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:55,880
Speaker 7: couple of years since his injury. So and I know

271
00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:57,720
Speaker 7: he could still do it. They tested it a little

272
00:10:57,720 --> 00:10:59,640
Speaker 7: bit during training camp, put it on the field.

273
00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:00,600
Speaker 2: I want to that in action.

274
00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:03,280
Speaker 9: The other thing that's been missing for is in terms

275
00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:04,920
Speaker 9: of being effective for the last few years, is really

276
00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:07,040
Speaker 9: the screen game with the running backs, and I just

277
00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:08,719
Speaker 9: you know, they got to find a way to get

278
00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:10,560
Speaker 9: that work now. Of course, you know it probably looked

279
00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:14,160
Speaker 9: great because when Zeke started out in his career, you know,

280
00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:16,000
Speaker 9: you're talking one of the best backs in the league.

281
00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:18,120
Speaker 9: You had one of the best offensive lines in the league.

282
00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:20,160
Speaker 9: So I mean those two things factor together. But I

283
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:23,040
Speaker 9: think of like Zeke's biggest highlights with the Cowboys, and

284
00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:25,440
Speaker 9: if I'm doing like a top ten or fifteen, like

285
00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:27,560
Speaker 9: three or four, some of the screens he took, he

286
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:29,719
Speaker 9: took to the house, or just had big gains on it,

287
00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:31,520
Speaker 9: and that really has been missing the last few years.

288
00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:33,280
Speaker 9: So I'm wondering if they're able to kind of get

289
00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:33,640
Speaker 9: that back.

290
00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:36,040
Speaker 4: I think you're playing you definitely see that, because that's

291
00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:38,360
Speaker 4: one of the ways you slow down really good defensive tackles.

292
00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:40,760
Speaker 4: You slow them down by screen keeping them off guard

293
00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:42,760
Speaker 4: and giving them more things that they have to worry

294
00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:43,800
Speaker 4: about and be concerned about.

295
00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:47,200
Speaker 2: Do you need a mobile and healthy guard to pull

296
00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:50,440
Speaker 2: on those screens most of the time though you're.

297
00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:51,640
Speaker 5: Your jerk contrace as.

298
00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:53,920
Speaker 2: I mean, that's that's part of it. That's part of

299
00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:54,600
Speaker 2: the screen game.

300
00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:57,400
Speaker 3: You need your interior lineman to be healthy and mobile,

301
00:11:57,480 --> 00:11:59,560
Speaker 3: and for the most part, those guys are good at

302
00:11:59,559 --> 00:11:59,880
Speaker 3: doing so.

303
00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:01,760
Speaker 2: Tyler Smith's better in a phone booth.

304
00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:04,480
Speaker 3: We talked about that already. Or I should say he's

305
00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:06,880
Speaker 3: can at the tackle spot than he is in a

306
00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:09,560
Speaker 3: phone booth, is what I meant to say. He's better outside,

307
00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:12,320
Speaker 3: he's better in space. But when he's healthy, that's the case.

308
00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:14,559
Speaker 4: You can switch things up with the offensive scheme. I mean,

309
00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:17,120
Speaker 4: your guard and your center can interchange their responsibilities on

310
00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:19,400
Speaker 4: some of those screenplays. He's gonna take a little bit

311
00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:19,760
Speaker 4: more work.

312
00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:19,959
Speaker 11: Though.

313
00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:22,319
Speaker 7: You can also throw an offset tight end or an

314
00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:25,720
Speaker 7: offset full back offset full back.

315
00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:27,240
Speaker 3: Do you want to say that a little bit louder

316
00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:28,599
Speaker 3: for the people in the back?

317
00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:30,720
Speaker 2: Okay, Hunter Lipkey?

318
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:34,000
Speaker 3: At this point, I was because I was before you

319
00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:35,840
Speaker 3: started talking about Hunter Lipkey. I was about to say,

320
00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:39,080
Speaker 3: where's our blocking tight end as well, because I mean,

321
00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:42,080
Speaker 3: the guys on the roster are pass catchers, at least

322
00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:46,200
Speaker 3: at their strength. Maybe Jake Ferguson is your leading blocker

323
00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:48,199
Speaker 3: in terms of a tight end right now.

324
00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:50,280
Speaker 8: I can see mckewn being called.

325
00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:52,439
Speaker 2: Up from the practice squad. That's a good point.

326
00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:55,559
Speaker 9: I mean mckwn and CJ. Goblin I think would probably

327
00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:56,280
Speaker 9: be the two.

328
00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:58,640
Speaker 8: Favorites as of right now to get black Coffman. Yeah,

329
00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:00,480
Speaker 8: oh that's true too, Yeah, yeah, yeah.

330
00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:02,800
Speaker 2: But if you bring up offensive linemen, don't you get three?

331
00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:06,160
Speaker 2: Don't you get three? I got to look at the rules. Yes,

332
00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:09,240
Speaker 2: it's the regular season again, change refresh.

333
00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:11,280
Speaker 3: I feel like I've got a refresh because I think

334
00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:13,079
Speaker 3: if you do bring up an offensive lineman, you get

335
00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:13,959
Speaker 3: three elevations.

336
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:15,760
Speaker 6: But yeah, I don't know about that for sure.

337
00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:17,760
Speaker 8: I'm telling you that rollbook will beat you down.

338
00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:18,120
Speaker 2: Yeah.

339
00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:20,320
Speaker 9: I was just spent a lot of time reading that

340
00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:22,720
Speaker 9: whole third quarterback rule the other day. I say, we

341
00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:24,480
Speaker 9: got a lot of detail on that thing.

342
00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:26,800
Speaker 3: There was an email that was like here just for

343
00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:29,280
Speaker 3: those who are worried or confused about it, the NFL

344
00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:32,720
Speaker 3: sends out an entire media release on here's what the

345
00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:35,520
Speaker 3: rule is. There's a lot there initially, but you really

346
00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:37,880
Speaker 3: don't get it, and so here it is. And so yeah,

347
00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:40,839
Speaker 3: that was some weekend reading, no doubt about it. Give

Speaker 3: line at eight one seven two nine zero three two

351
00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:50,439
Speaker 3: nine eight. We're going to talk to Cowboys Nation starting

352
00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:53,000
Speaker 3: in the next segment. Before we get to that segment,

353
00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:54,480
Speaker 3: let's talk about some good news.

354
00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:56,160
Speaker 2: Let's talk about some positive things here.

355
00:13:56,160 --> 00:13:59,559
Speaker 3: In Week one, Cowboys lock up Terrence Steele on the

356
00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:05,080
Speaker 3: outside extension for the former undrafted right tackle who continues

357
00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:07,319
Speaker 3: to show that he is willing and able to grow

358
00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:10,320
Speaker 3: in this offense and coming off of an injury, he

359
00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:13,920
Speaker 3: looked good. He's still pushing in the right direction, and man,

360
00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:16,360
Speaker 3: he's been a cornerstone for the right side of that

361
00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:18,360
Speaker 3: offensive line for the last couple of years when he

362
00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:19,000
Speaker 3: is healthy.

363
00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:21,440
Speaker 2: But Nick, what did you think about the extension and

364
00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:25,000
Speaker 2: what ended up being the new contract for Terrence Steel?

365
00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:27,720
Speaker 7: Yeah, the new contract five years, eighty six point two million.

366
00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:30,760
Speaker 7: I believe it has the potential of going up north

367
00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:33,520
Speaker 7: of ninety one million, so very much deserved.

368
00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:35,680
Speaker 6: Somebody put out a tweet yesterday.

369
00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:38,400
Speaker 7: I think it was Todd Archer looking at the undrafted

370
00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:41,240
Speaker 7: free agents that the Cowboys have picked up and the

371
00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:44,200
Speaker 7: overall money that they've earned throughout their career, and if

372
00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:46,280
Speaker 7: Terrence Steele ends up earning all of that eighty six

373
00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:48,720
Speaker 7: point two million, he'll only be behind Tony Romo. So

374
00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:52,720
Speaker 7: really deserved for Terrence Steel. A really good story, undrafted

375
00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:55,040
Speaker 7: free agent that was thrown into the fire almost immediately

376
00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:56,800
Speaker 7: and survived and came out on the other side a

377
00:14:56,800 --> 00:14:59,440
Speaker 7: better player, and then you know, had a more adversity

378
00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:01,960
Speaker 7: had come over with this ACL injury coming off of

379
00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:04,920
Speaker 7: last year, did everything he possibly could and being diligent

380
00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:08,600
Speaker 7: in that recovery, working with a director of rehabilitation, Britt Brown,

381
00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:10,760
Speaker 7: and you know, I asked him, I was like, do

382
00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:13,280
Speaker 7: you think the recovery had something to do with, you know,

383
00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:15,880
Speaker 7: getting this contract done before the season, because you would

384
00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:17,840
Speaker 7: think an ACL injury, okay, let's see him back on

385
00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:20,600
Speaker 7: the field before we give him this deal, and they

386
00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:22,680
Speaker 7: gave it to him. I think that just speaks to

387
00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:25,160
Speaker 7: his work ethic, his diligence, and their confidence and what

388
00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:25,520
Speaker 7: he can be.

389
00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:28,480
Speaker 9: Still, he's super easy to root for. Actually, just a

390
00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:29,080
Speaker 9: great dude.

391
00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:30,520
Speaker 2: You know.

392
00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:33,080
Speaker 9: Mike McCarthy talked about how he was here every single

393
00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:35,520
Speaker 9: day and it's always the same time and all that,

394
00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:37,000
Speaker 9: and when I aske him aboudy, he said it's because

395
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:39,200
Speaker 9: he has a military background, so you know, his family

396
00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:40,040
Speaker 9: always was like that.

397
00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:42,960
Speaker 8: So and then just going from twenty twenty being an.

398
00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:45,200
Speaker 9: Undrafted guy to get to this place, it just like again,

399
00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:48,000
Speaker 9: it's just so easy to roof for him, and you

400
00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:50,720
Speaker 9: want it to go well because for someone like me

401
00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:53,040
Speaker 9: that you know, there's a lot of you're just covering

402
00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:55,880
Speaker 9: the team and you know, comparing to other things you've seen,

403
00:15:56,360 --> 00:15:58,080
Speaker 9: I mean, it's very easy to bring up. The last

404
00:15:58,080 --> 00:15:59,680
Speaker 9: time that they've done this where they've signed a bunch

405
00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:02,040
Speaker 9: of guys for the season was twenty nineteen and none

406
00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:02,800
Speaker 9: of those went well.

407
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:03,920
Speaker 8: So there's that part of you.

408
00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:06,080
Speaker 9: And when I mean that, I'm talking about the Zeke extension,

409
00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:08,280
Speaker 9: the Lyle Collins, and the Jalen Smith. I mean it

410
00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:09,640
Speaker 9: was all within like a couple of weeks that that

411
00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:11,440
Speaker 9: all those were done, and so that's the last time

412
00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:13,880
Speaker 9: where they did something like this. So I would think

413
00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:16,560
Speaker 9: just law of averages because of all those it didn't

414
00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:19,360
Speaker 9: work out. I would think that, you know, they deserve

415
00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:22,600
Speaker 9: some good fortune in this thing. But man, like I said,

416
00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:24,960
Speaker 9: I just I can't say enough like I root for

417
00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:27,400
Speaker 9: anybody getting the money, but there's just some there's just

418
00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:29,320
Speaker 9: some guys more than others that you're just like. Man,

419
00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:31,240
Speaker 9: I'm really happy that he was able to get this,

420
00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:32,840
Speaker 9: and I think for me a lot of his one.

421
00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:33,800
Speaker 8: He's a good dude then too.

422
00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:36,520
Speaker 9: Just the undrafted thing that's just always cool to see

423
00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:39,240
Speaker 9: that happen because of how much emphasis everyone always puts

424
00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:41,480
Speaker 9: on the draft and every year it gets more and more,

425
00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:43,840
Speaker 9: but it just shows you can still find some guys

426
00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:46,560
Speaker 9: that can be big pieces that you don't draft.

427
00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:49,520
Speaker 5: I like t Steey. I like him.

428
00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:52,760
Speaker 4: I've been joking around with him as of late about

429
00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:54,200
Speaker 4: every time I run into him, and to him, he

430
00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:55,760
Speaker 4: needs to go ahead and dread his hair up. So

431
00:16:56,360 --> 00:16:58,080
Speaker 4: this costs about one hundred and fifty dollars to do so,

432
00:16:58,080 --> 00:16:59,840
Speaker 4: So I think he has enough to get dreaded now.

433
00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:01,320
Speaker 5: But no, that'll be.

434
00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:02,160
Speaker 2: The next thing you tell him.

435
00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:05,679
Speaker 4: I always tell him that every time I see him. No,

436
00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:07,600
Speaker 4: So everything that you guys have touched on him. He's

437
00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:09,280
Speaker 4: a great dude. He's a great dude. He has a

438
00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:11,960
Speaker 4: work ethic out of this world. He gained my respect

439
00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:14,119
Speaker 4: last year at Camp Kyle when we were calling the

440
00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:16,960
Speaker 4: live practice against Denver and things got a little chippy.

441
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:20,840
Speaker 4: There's Randy Gregory was starting things on the sideline and

442
00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:23,359
Speaker 4: really causing a stir. He wasn't even practicing, but he

443
00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:25,560
Speaker 4: was really kind of sparking up fights on the side

444
00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:29,320
Speaker 4: as Randon does. And Dak Prescott was kind of standing

445
00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:32,320
Speaker 4: by himself at one portion of the practice, and we

446
00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:35,760
Speaker 4: were sitting up on the hill and guys, I just

447
00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:37,720
Speaker 4: I don't think guys were just paying They weren't paying attention, right,

448
00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:39,840
Speaker 4: they were watching practice, but they didn't they didn't notice

449
00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:42,119
Speaker 4: that Dak was by himself. And the entire defense of

450
00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:44,600
Speaker 4: Denver was pretty much like surrounding Dak and talking mess

451
00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:47,320
Speaker 4: to him. Well, there was one gentleman who went over

452
00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:49,119
Speaker 4: there and was not having it, and it was T.

453
00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:49,600
Speaker 5: Steel.

454
00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:53,399
Speaker 4: And from that moment though, it's like it's like your

455
00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:56,000
Speaker 4: little brother, right, Like you feel the vibe that your

456
00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:57,720
Speaker 4: little brother needs some support, so you kind of look

457
00:17:57,720 --> 00:17:59,639
Speaker 4: over there and he went. He be lined over there

458
00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:02,080
Speaker 4: and pretty threw everybody out the way through everybody out

459
00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:04,200
Speaker 4: the club like Jesse jeff On fresh Prince of bel Air,

460
00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:07,439
Speaker 4: and got his quarterback back over to where he you know,

461
00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:10,240
Speaker 4: to safety, you know, in so many words, And from

462
00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:12,360
Speaker 4: that point forward, he had my respect because I knew

463
00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:14,480
Speaker 4: that he had that dog in. As nice of a

464
00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:16,600
Speaker 4: guy as he is, you know, he's kind of a

465
00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:19,639
Speaker 4: gentle giant walking around, real soft spoken, but when it

466
00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:21,680
Speaker 4: comes down to it, he got that dog in and

467
00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:23,480
Speaker 4: that there's differences.

468
00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:23,720
Speaker 2: You know.

469
00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:25,200
Speaker 5: You're talking about Deon Sanders.

470
00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:27,159
Speaker 4: His team went in this past weekend and the patches

471
00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:30,119
Speaker 4: that they have on their chest that d for dog

472
00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:31,520
Speaker 4: that needs to go to T.

473
00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:33,240
Speaker 5: Steel because he is one of the guys on his team.

474
00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:34,800
Speaker 9: It was funny too, as we were talking to him

475
00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:37,120
Speaker 9: yesterday for about six or seven minutes outside the locker room,

476
00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:39,800
Speaker 9: just seeing guys that would walk by and you know,

477
00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:42,399
Speaker 9: just yelling stuff like Michael Gallup, Zach Martin, you know,

478
00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:44,960
Speaker 9: yelling out calling him big money, and you just tell like,

479
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:48,040
Speaker 9: everyone's really happy for him because he obviously puts the

480
00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:50,720
Speaker 9: work in and no, yeah.

481
00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:51,439
Speaker 8: That was the best way to describe it.

482
00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:51,719
Speaker 5: He is.

483
00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:53,600
Speaker 9: He does come off as the gentle giant that is,

484
00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:55,159
Speaker 9: that's the perfect way to describe him, but then on

485
00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:56,800
Speaker 9: Sundays that's certainly not who he is.

486
00:18:56,960 --> 00:18:57,160
Speaker 2: Well.

487
00:18:57,240 --> 00:19:00,800
Speaker 3: I think one of the early defining moments for the

488
00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:04,520
Speaker 3: Mike McCarthy era was in Washington back in twenty twenty

489
00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:06,840
Speaker 3: when Andy Dalton got hit as he was going down

490
00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:09,480
Speaker 3: on the slide and nobody was there to back them up.

491
00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:14,320
Speaker 3: Nobody really was there, and that was the early indication of, Okay,

492
00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:15,439
Speaker 3: what does this team really have?

493
00:19:15,760 --> 00:19:17,280
Speaker 2: There's something going on here.

494
00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:19,760
Speaker 3: There's a culture problem to a certain extent at that

495
00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:21,040
Speaker 3: point in the season, and.

496
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:22,920
Speaker 2: Things weren't going well at that point either.

497
00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:24,840
Speaker 3: I mean, of course, Dak Prescott goes down, you have

498
00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:30,560
Speaker 3: the rotation rotating door at quarterback, and then who was

499
00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:32,639
Speaker 3: one of the first guys to step up after that

500
00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:35,600
Speaker 3: learning moment. There were a couple guys, but Terrence Steel

501
00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:38,520
Speaker 3: was in that mix as a rookie, as an undrafted rookie.

502
00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:40,520
Speaker 3: He was in that mix as somebody that stepped up

503
00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:43,000
Speaker 3: very quickly. Maybe not on that specific play, but once

504
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:44,399
Speaker 3: he saw it and he said, Okay, next time, that's

505
00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:44,680
Speaker 3: not cool.

506
00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:46,200
Speaker 2: It never gonna happen again.

507
00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:48,520
Speaker 3: And he's been there, and so I'm glad you brought

508
00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:51,080
Speaker 3: up the Denver story because that's certainly something that's stuck

509
00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:53,520
Speaker 3: in my mind as well. And I think it all

510
00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:55,440
Speaker 3: stems back from that initial moment when he was a

511
00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:58,359
Speaker 3: rookie he was learning from those guys and said, yeah, okay,

512
00:19:58,520 --> 00:20:00,320
Speaker 3: not gonna happen in my quarterback. Not gonna happened to

513
00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:03,159
Speaker 3: my guys ever again. And now it won't for for

514
00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:05,040
Speaker 3: quite some time because he's locked up for the next

515
00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:07,959
Speaker 3: five years. So happy for Tea, still happy for his

516
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:10,160
Speaker 3: work ethic and everything he's earned to this point.

517
00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:11,320
Speaker 5: And a guaranteed money.

518
00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:14,639
Speaker 2: We got fifty he got some guarantees.

519
00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:17,560
Speaker 9: I will say, though, even with that, I know you

520
00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:19,560
Speaker 9: look at these numbers and you're just like, man, it's

521
00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:22,440
Speaker 9: a lot of money. But if he continues to ascend

522
00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:24,760
Speaker 9: and play at the level that he's been on, you'll

523
00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:26,840
Speaker 9: look back on that contract and it'll be like, Wow,

524
00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:30,000
Speaker 9: that's a that's a sargain. Yeah, nice.

525
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:31,800
Speaker 4: Can we give it up for the front office right now?

526
00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:34,240
Speaker 4: We talked about how aggressive the front office has been.

527
00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:37,280
Speaker 4: They just continue to be aggressive and I love it.

528
00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:38,959
Speaker 4: We talked about them last week saying I hope they

529
00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:41,560
Speaker 4: keep that energy. Sure right, and they have kept that energy,

530
00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:41,960
Speaker 4: and I.

531
00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:43,919
Speaker 5: Hope they just keep the foot to the pedal.

532
00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:46,200
Speaker 2: I want him to sign CD, and it's gonna be

533
00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:48,639
Speaker 2: that'll happen.

534
00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:50,560
Speaker 5: I honestly and not obviously.

535
00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:53,679
Speaker 4: I don't have any insight up there, but let me

536
00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:55,840
Speaker 4: put that out there before I make the statement. I

537
00:20:55,920 --> 00:20:57,960
Speaker 4: have a feeling that it is a race right now

538
00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:01,879
Speaker 4: to try to get CD done before Justin Jeffers I agree.

539
00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:03,480
Speaker 2: So yeah, I.

540
00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:05,400
Speaker 4: Believe that Justin Jefferson said he needs that deal done

541
00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:06,520
Speaker 4: before the season kicks off.

542
00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:10,520
Speaker 2: Hey Cee, do you got time today? Can you make

543
00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:13,000
Speaker 2: it up to the poop three here at the Starhart

544
00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:13,680
Speaker 2: makes sense.

545
00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:15,159
Speaker 5: Where something may happen before weeks in.

546
00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:17,600
Speaker 7: They did ask him on the fan today, Jerry Jones.

547
00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:19,439
Speaker 7: They said, you know, once the season starts, does that

548
00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:21,320
Speaker 7: kind of close off negotiations. You just want to focus

549
00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:25,120
Speaker 7: on the season. He said, absolutely anytime we can get

550
00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:27,960
Speaker 7: that deal done, so it could happen at any point,

551
00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:29,800
Speaker 7: and he was referring to both dak An Cid.

552
00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:33,639
Speaker 9: Either for Terren Steele and Zach Martin getting those things

553
00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:36,959
Speaker 9: taken care of, Like just look at the depth behind them,

554
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:39,040
Speaker 9: Like to me that you just you have to you

555
00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:40,840
Speaker 9: look at what else is there. It's not like you

556
00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:43,400
Speaker 9: have a couple of guys you're just like, no, no, no,

557
00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:45,280
Speaker 9: we can we can they can hold out if they want,

558
00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:46,440
Speaker 9: or we can possibly go that.

559
00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:48,400
Speaker 8: No, those are so important.

560
00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:50,400
Speaker 9: I mean, even Jerry saying this morning on the radio

561
00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:53,080
Speaker 9: about how you know, you know, he talked about how

562
00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:54,920
Speaker 9: much he liked the depth and how much he likes

563
00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:57,600
Speaker 9: his the current roster, but then he brought up himself

564
00:21:57,680 --> 00:21:59,720
Speaker 9: the offensive line depth as in that would be the

565
00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:02,479
Speaker 9: only concerned But then he points out, well, yeah, well

566
00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:05,199
Speaker 9: what NFL team doesn't have that right now? And so

567
00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:07,160
Speaker 9: that's the other part of the Terran Steel, the Zach

568
00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:09,560
Speaker 9: Martin thing. It's like not just the depth here, it's

569
00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:14,400
Speaker 9: how many quality offensive linemen can you get, like even

570
00:22:14,560 --> 00:22:16,880
Speaker 9: in the entire league. And that's one of those spots,

571
00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:19,480
Speaker 9: you know, it just it just seems like it's becoming

572
00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:22,840
Speaker 9: harder and harder to project exactly what's going to carry

573
00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:24,800
Speaker 9: over from the college game to the pro game, to

574
00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:27,119
Speaker 9: the point where you obviously see a lot of swings

575
00:22:27,119 --> 00:22:29,520
Speaker 9: and misses in the first round. Not here and there's

576
00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:31,960
Speaker 9: nothing they've done better than draft first round offensive lineman,

577
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:36,120
Speaker 9: of course. But the other part is then also there's

578
00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:37,440
Speaker 9: a part of me that when I hear the Terran

579
00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:39,480
Speaker 9: Steel deal, the first thing I think of is just like,

580
00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:41,760
Speaker 9: how does this guy go undrafted? Yeah, so there still

581
00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:43,520
Speaker 9: has to be a part of where there's still some

582
00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:45,600
Speaker 9: things that you just don't quite know for sure that

583
00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:47,239
Speaker 9: there's it's tough to predict, you know.

584
00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:48,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, he slipped through the cracks.

585
00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:51,320
Speaker 3: Credit to the front office for getting him done and

586
00:22:51,359 --> 00:22:53,280
Speaker 3: getting him in the building, and then of course seeing

587
00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:55,600
Speaker 3: the way that he's grown and developed since then.

588
00:22:55,880 --> 00:22:57,200
Speaker 2: We've got to take our first break.

589

595
00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:14,080
Speaker 12: cheetah Savannah. Todd believed the big cat repellent he bought

596
00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:17,000
Speaker 12: online was reliable, and now Todd is trying to be

597
00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:19,720
Speaker 12: faster than this cheetah that can run eighty miles per hour.

598
00:23:20,320 --> 00:23:22,080
Speaker 12: But the good news is Todd has at and T

599
00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:24,840
Speaker 12: five G. It is fast, reliable, and secure, and he

600
00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:27,120
Speaker 12: learned the best thing to do is stop running and

601
00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:29,840
Speaker 12: toss her the backpack with the beef stew at and

602
00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:33,480

Speaker 14: life's questions with an ice cold can of doctor pepper. Sheila,

630
00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:45,040
Speaker 14: let's hear from my next caller.

631
00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:46,600
Speaker 8: Would you, Dear doctor?

632
00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:49,000
Speaker 3: My friend supported me during a tough time.

633
00:24:49,160 --> 00:24:51,800
Speaker 1: But what's the right gift that says thanks for being

634
00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:52,920
Speaker 1: the souldier to cry out?

635
00:24:53,080 --> 00:24:56,040
Speaker 14: Okay, this one's easy, I say, give her a delicious

636
00:24:56,119 --> 00:24:59,720
Speaker 14: doctor pepper. Nothing says thanks good better than one of

637
00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:02,680
Speaker 14: a kind soda. Yes, any doctor pepper flavor will do.

638
00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:04,560
Speaker 14: Now just a reminder that I don't need to be

639
00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:07,119
Speaker 14: a real doctor to know that Doctor Pepper is the

640
00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:10,040
Speaker 14: one you deserve better.

641
00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:11,720
Speaker 2: To Talking Cowboys.

642
00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:15,359
Speaker 3: This portion of Talking Cowboys is brought to you by

643
00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:18,240
Speaker 3: Quaker Oates, a super trusted super food Quaker Oats, the

Speaker 3: official oatmeal sponsor of the Dallas Cowboys. Back here with

00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:25,040
Speaker 3: John Matchoda, Isaiah Stanback, Nick Harris, Chris Beam in the

646
00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:26,200
Speaker 3: back of Kyle Yeomans.

647
00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:28,920
Speaker 2: Every Tuesday, we will take your phone calls.

648
00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:32,919
Speaker 3: It's a Talking Tuesday as always, and the traditions continue

649
00:25:33,040 --> 00:25:35,480
Speaker 3: as we head into the regular season. Give us a call.

650
00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:37,880
Speaker 3: Eight eight eight eight five five two two nine seven.

651
00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:41,280
Speaker 3: Let's start things off with Brian in Iowa. Brian, you're

652
00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:43,240
Speaker 3: back on Talking Cowboys. How's it going, my friend?

653
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:48,360
Speaker 15: Hey, it's going really good. How how are you guys.

654
00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:49,560
Speaker 2: Doing doing great? What's on your mind?

655
00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:50,640
Speaker 13: Well?

656
00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:52,840
Speaker 15: I got a few things. I got one thing about

657
00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:57,440
Speaker 15: Dak and then another thing about fifty cents. First of all,

658
00:25:57,480 --> 00:26:02,800
Speaker 15: with Dak, I feel Dak has a great season and

659
00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:09,520
Speaker 15: he is in the MVP running like I think he

660
00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:12,600
Speaker 15: kind of was in twenty twenties before the Anchel season

661
00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:17,960
Speaker 15: with he was saying the pastum record, I believe I

662
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:22,119
Speaker 15: think you can get back to that form with this

663
00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:27,560
Speaker 15: offense scheme and the players around him, and with the

664
00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:33,160
Speaker 15: defense I made total sex. Do you think the Cowboys

665
00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:37,960
Speaker 15: will get with Michael Parsons and the rest of the

666
00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:43,200
Speaker 15: defense and you guys have a great day And thank

667
00:26:43,280 --> 00:26:44,800
Speaker 15: you for having me out.

668
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:47,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, of course, Brian appreciate the call. As always, John,

669
00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:50,840
Speaker 3: I'll start with you on the Dak Prescott question. Where

670
00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:52,840
Speaker 3: do you think the ceiling is for Dak? Is kind

671
00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:55,479
Speaker 3: of what it sounded like Brian was talking about because

672
00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:59,919
Speaker 3: prior to Week six in twenty twenty one and he

673
00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:02,440
Speaker 3: calf injury that he sustained on that final pass against

674
00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:05,080
Speaker 3: the Patriots, he was the MVP front runner and it's

675
00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:08,760
Speaker 3: hard to argue at that point statistically, play wise, win wise,

676
00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:11,240
Speaker 3: he was there. Do you think he can get back

677
00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:12,920
Speaker 3: to that because we haven't necessarily seen it.

678
00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:16,399
Speaker 9: Since he can, I don't think that they really need

679
00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:18,960
Speaker 9: him to though. And the reason I say that is

680
00:27:19,040 --> 00:27:23,560
Speaker 9: because the way this season starts is reminded me. Now

681
00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:25,600
Speaker 9: these are not apples to apples, but it reminds me

682
00:27:25,600 --> 00:27:27,440
Speaker 9: a little bit of twenty fourteen because there was a

683
00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:29,480
Speaker 9: little bit of that, you know, we're gonna take some

684
00:27:29,520 --> 00:27:30,800
Speaker 9: more off Tony Romo's plate.

685
00:27:30,800 --> 00:27:32,440
Speaker 8: We're gonna have DeMarco Murray.

686
00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:34,080
Speaker 9: You know, be kind of the focal back, and it

687
00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:37,359
Speaker 9: just changed a little bit about the offense. And just

688
00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:39,680
Speaker 9: before that, leading up to you felt like there was

689
00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:41,840
Speaker 9: a period of time there where Tony had to play

690
00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:45,680
Speaker 9: really well and win these games, and DeMarco kind of

691
00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:47,480
Speaker 9: took something off of his plate and it ended up

692
00:27:47,560 --> 00:27:49,960
Speaker 9: leading one of Tony's, if not Tony's best seasons.

693
00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:52,600
Speaker 8: And so with this team, I think the running game

694
00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:53,000
Speaker 8: will be good.

695
00:27:53,040 --> 00:27:55,720
Speaker 9: I do not think it'll be DeMarco Murray twenty fourteen good.

696
00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:58,760
Speaker 9: But it's the defense now. So because of how loaded

697
00:27:58,800 --> 00:28:01,440
Speaker 9: this defense is, he doesn't have to be that guy

698
00:28:01,560 --> 00:28:04,439
Speaker 9: that he was, you know, back then, throwing as much

699
00:28:04,480 --> 00:28:06,320
Speaker 9: as he was. And I do think that there there

700
00:28:06,359 --> 00:28:08,199
Speaker 9: could be some hiccups early in the season, just with

701
00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:10,680
Speaker 9: like a new offense in that. But the thing I

702
00:28:10,760 --> 00:28:13,040
Speaker 9: keep going back to, and I know it's it's a

703
00:28:13,080 --> 00:28:14,919
Speaker 9: way spot you know in the past, and I know

704
00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:17,240
Speaker 9: it's a different team, but man, you just look at

705
00:28:17,240 --> 00:28:19,400
Speaker 9: those numbers that Brett Favre put up the year before

706
00:28:19,440 --> 00:28:22,680
Speaker 9: Mike McCarthy took over in Green Bay. I mean, we're

707
00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:25,600
Speaker 9: beaten down fifteen interceptions, like it's the worst thing we've

708
00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:29,200
Speaker 9: ever heard. Brett Favre through twenty nine the year before

709
00:28:29,280 --> 00:28:31,480
Speaker 9: Mike McCarthy became head coach, and then it cut it

710
00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:33,800
Speaker 9: down McCarthy's first year, I believe it was around fifteen,

711
00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:35,399
Speaker 9: and then the second year got it down to twelve.

712
00:28:35,560 --> 00:28:37,120
Speaker 8: And that's Brett Farr, who.

713
00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:39,320
Speaker 9: You know, is you know, have one of the most

714
00:28:39,320 --> 00:28:41,400
Speaker 9: talented arms that's ever been in the game, and it's

715
00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:44,200
Speaker 9: probably attempted more bad throws than anybody ever has in

716
00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:46,360
Speaker 9: the game, just because of his ability and for him

717
00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:48,560
Speaker 9: to be able to as a first time head coach

718
00:28:49,080 --> 00:28:50,640
Speaker 9: be able to get a guy like Brett Farv that

719
00:28:50,720 --> 00:28:54,000
Speaker 9: was established as he was at that point, to you know,

720
00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:56,959
Speaker 9: be more you know, I wouldn't say conservative, but just

721
00:28:57,000 --> 00:28:58,920
Speaker 9: be taking care of the ball better. That to me,

722
00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:01,360
Speaker 9: it's like, did Tony need to put up the best

723
00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:04,240
Speaker 9: numbers ever to say twenty fourteen might be his best season? No,

724
00:29:04,280 --> 00:29:06,480
Speaker 9: But the trickle down was that if everything else fell

725
00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:08,720
Speaker 9: into place, he ended up having that And I believe

726
00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:11,120
Speaker 9: if Dak takes care of the ball, everything else falls

727
00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:14,240
Speaker 9: into place, they win more games, and if the Cowboys

728
00:29:14,280 --> 00:29:17,040
Speaker 9: are winning games, he's going to be in all those conversations.

729
00:29:17,080 --> 00:29:18,960
Speaker 9: I mean that's how it is with I mean, you

730
00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:21,000
Speaker 9: can talk about it in college football with the Heisman Trophy,

731
00:29:21,360 --> 00:29:23,560
Speaker 9: you know, at the quarterback position is the same way

732
00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:26,120
Speaker 9: in the NFL. If your team is rolling, your quarterback

733
00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:27,280
Speaker 9: is going to be in that conversation.

734
00:29:27,680 --> 00:29:30,680
Speaker 7: Well said, yeah, I think we've talked about it a

735
00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:33,280
Speaker 7: lot about how this offense is constructed around Dak. It's

736
00:29:33,320 --> 00:29:36,440
Speaker 7: put into quote unquote Dak's language. Does that lead to

737
00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:40,240
Speaker 7: an MVP conversation? I lean no, Just because of what

738
00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:41,840
Speaker 7: you said, they're gonna have to lean on the running game.

739
00:29:41,840 --> 00:29:43,719
Speaker 7: They're gonna have to lean on the defense to help

740
00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:46,560
Speaker 7: them out in some areas as well. So you just

741
00:29:46,600 --> 00:29:48,240
Speaker 7: need Dak to be Dak. You don't need Dak to

742
00:29:48,280 --> 00:29:51,160
Speaker 7: be MVP, you know. I think if they can, if

743
00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:53,560
Speaker 7: they can work that around, then it's a successful season.

744
00:29:53,560 --> 00:29:55,600
Speaker 7: The only think everyone would rather have a successful season

745
00:29:55,600 --> 00:29:56,720
Speaker 7: than a Dak MVP season.

746
00:29:56,720 --> 00:29:57,360
Speaker 2: Sure, yeah, the.

747
00:29:57,400 --> 00:29:58,520
Speaker 9: Only thing I was going to add on that though,

748
00:29:58,560 --> 00:30:01,400
Speaker 9: on the MVP thing, X coming off of arguably his

749
00:30:01,440 --> 00:30:05,000
Speaker 9: worst season, because of the turnovers. He's I feel better

750
00:30:05,080 --> 00:30:08,360
Speaker 9: about him being in the MVP conversation this year than

751
00:30:08,400 --> 00:30:11,160
Speaker 9: I would have last season at this time about Jalen Hurts.

752
00:30:11,520 --> 00:30:13,760
Speaker 8: So things go up and down real fast in this league.

753
00:30:13,800 --> 00:30:14,200
Speaker 2: Interesting.

754
00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:16,920
Speaker 9: Nobody expected Jalen Hurts to have that season. Maybe Jalen

755
00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:20,680
Speaker 9: Hurts did, maybe there's some people in Philadelphia's front office,

756
00:30:20,720 --> 00:30:23,200
Speaker 9: maybe Nick Sirianni did, But most people did not think

757
00:30:23,280 --> 00:30:24,880
Speaker 9: like he was going to take it to that level.

758
00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:27,520
Speaker 9: It's not like that was his second season or we

759
00:30:27,600 --> 00:30:29,800
Speaker 9: just hadn't had there was a decent sample size on him,

760
00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:32,080
Speaker 9: and obviously there was a lot of good pieces around him.

761
00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:34,200
Speaker 9: But he took his game to another level that I

762
00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:36,280
Speaker 9: don't think most people were expecting. So you just you

763
00:30:36,320 --> 00:30:37,440
Speaker 9: don't really know for well when he.

764
00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:39,880
Speaker 3: Did so by being efficient, Yeah, I mean that was

765
00:30:39,920 --> 00:30:42,480
Speaker 3: the case with Jalen Hurts, and now that's what you're

766
00:30:42,520 --> 00:30:43,360
Speaker 3: asking Dak to be.

767
00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:45,520
Speaker 2: You're not asking Dak to be over the top. You're

768
00:30:45,520 --> 00:30:46,200
Speaker 2: asking him to.

769
00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:48,760
Speaker 3: Be efficient all the way through and making things simple

770
00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:50,520
Speaker 3: on him so that way he can lead things like

771
00:30:50,600 --> 00:30:51,400
Speaker 3: Jalen Hurts did.

772
00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:53,600
Speaker 2: I think you're muted.

773
00:30:54,760 --> 00:30:57,320
Speaker 6: I think you're knee it's going to be John next

774
00:30:57,360 --> 00:31:00,120
Speaker 6: episode there you go to.

775
00:31:00,280 --> 00:31:02,040
Speaker 8: Pull your mic over.

776
00:31:02,280 --> 00:31:05,640
Speaker 4: Sorry, I'm growing. Yeah, I think you guys hit it.

777
00:31:05,800 --> 00:31:12,280
Speaker 4: I mean this everybody's expectations as DAK are. Everybody's looking

778
00:31:12,320 --> 00:31:14,800
Speaker 4: for the big plays. I feel like in the fan

779
00:31:15,440 --> 00:31:19,880
Speaker 4: fan world, that's not what coach McCarthy's looking for. Coach

780
00:31:19,960 --> 00:31:25,200
Speaker 4: McCarthy's looking for that high efficiency, high probability of completion rate,

781
00:31:25,320 --> 00:31:27,760
Speaker 4: and that's what he's looking for. He doesn't care if

782
00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:30,720
Speaker 4: it's you know, fourteen yards or five yards. He wants

783
00:31:30,720 --> 00:31:34,560
Speaker 4: it manageable in terms of his his ability to deliver

784
00:31:34,600 --> 00:31:37,280
Speaker 4: a solid, accurate ball. You're gonna still have your deep shots,

785
00:31:37,320 --> 00:31:38,960
Speaker 4: but those deep shots are gonna come off a play action.

786
00:31:39,200 --> 00:31:42,080
Speaker 4: So it's gonna be a very simplified chill offense. And

787
00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:44,680
Speaker 4: to you guys's point, you know, with a successful team

788
00:31:44,760 --> 00:31:48,760
Speaker 4: comes a successful MVP running for most quarterbacks, most teams,

789
00:31:48,800 --> 00:31:51,680
Speaker 4: it's just a quarterback league. But this is not going

790
00:31:51,760 --> 00:31:54,800
Speaker 4: to be forty passes a game, DOC, So people just

791
00:31:54,800 --> 00:31:55,960
Speaker 4: need to get that out of their hisads.

792
00:31:56,240 --> 00:31:58,200
Speaker 9: Yeah, I don't think you should want that either. No, Like,

793
00:31:58,200 --> 00:31:59,600
Speaker 9: if you look at those box scores at the end

794
00:31:59,600 --> 00:32:01,480
Speaker 9: of the game, if you missed the game by some chance.

795
00:32:01,760 --> 00:32:03,480
Speaker 9: I don't think you really want to see a bunch

796
00:32:03,520 --> 00:32:06,040
Speaker 9: of those games like that, because before you know the

797
00:32:06,240 --> 00:32:08,920
Speaker 9: the ankle injury, there were a lot of games like

798
00:32:08,920 --> 00:32:10,320
Speaker 9: that where he was playing like that and you really

799
00:32:10,360 --> 00:32:12,120
Speaker 9: felt like, well, if he doesn't play like this, they're

800
00:32:12,120 --> 00:32:12,600
Speaker 9: not going to win.

801
00:32:12,680 --> 00:32:14,600
Speaker 8: Well, he doesn't have to play like that now.

802
00:32:14,800 --> 00:32:17,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, And I think that's what you want, like you said,

803
00:32:17,440 --> 00:32:21,040
Speaker 3: And if it is that sort of forty passes, pass attempts,

804
00:32:21,240 --> 00:32:23,960
Speaker 3: you want it to be short completions. Maybe it's because

805
00:32:23,960 --> 00:32:26,360
Speaker 3: you're methodical on offense. If the box score does end

806
00:32:26,440 --> 00:32:29,200
Speaker 3: up ballooning like that, you want it to be efficient

807
00:32:29,360 --> 00:32:31,400
Speaker 3: work on the offense as opposed to just let's just

808
00:32:31,440 --> 00:32:32,520
Speaker 3: throw the ball to throw the ball.

809
00:32:32,760 --> 00:32:35,040
Speaker 2: All right, let's go to Jim in passive.

810
00:32:35,120 --> 00:32:36,600
Speaker 8: Don't want to get this sect total thing.

811
00:32:36,760 --> 00:32:39,320
Speaker 3: Oh I forgot about that. We'll get Jim first. Let's

812
00:32:39,320 --> 00:32:40,080
Speaker 3: get Jim out of the way.

813
00:32:40,160 --> 00:32:40,320
Speaker 12: Jim.

814
00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:40,959
Speaker 2: What's going on?

815
00:32:41,920 --> 00:32:42,760
Speaker 16: Good morning, guys?

816
00:32:42,760 --> 00:32:43,640
Speaker 5: How are you great?

817
00:32:43,640 --> 00:32:45,280
Speaker 2: How are you good?

818
00:32:45,360 --> 00:32:48,200
Speaker 16: All right? I want to play a game. If Parsons,

819
00:32:48,840 --> 00:32:52,480
Speaker 16: Smith and o'diggy Zua and Lawrence are you're starting four

820
00:32:52,760 --> 00:32:55,520
Speaker 16: on the D line. Huh, who are your next four?

821
00:32:56,160 --> 00:33:00,160
Speaker 16: And are those next four better than any of the

822
00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:01,320
Speaker 16: d lines in the league.

823
00:33:02,280 --> 00:33:03,040
Speaker 8: That's really tough.

824
00:33:03,240 --> 00:33:06,560
Speaker 2: I like to know appreciate the call. Jim as always.

825
00:33:07,640 --> 00:33:10,160
Speaker 9: One of our national NFL writers at the Athletic Robert

826
00:33:10,280 --> 00:33:13,320
Speaker 9: Mays goes to a bunch of different training camps, and

827
00:33:13,360 --> 00:33:15,320
Speaker 9: so when he came to the Cowboys camp, we always

828
00:33:15,320 --> 00:33:18,360
Speaker 9: do like a pod, and I think he came the

829
00:33:18,440 --> 00:33:21,160
Speaker 9: second week and when we talked about the defensive ends,

830
00:33:21,520 --> 00:33:23,400
Speaker 9: he said he thinks that they have the best defensive

831
00:33:23,480 --> 00:33:25,920
Speaker 9: end rotation in the entire league. And I lean on

832
00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:29,520
Speaker 9: him a lot more because I mean, I just most

833
00:33:29,560 --> 00:33:31,840
Speaker 9: of my time is dedicated to following this team. I

834
00:33:32,120 --> 00:33:35,200
Speaker 9: just wouldn't feel comfortable sitting there and saying then again,

835
00:33:35,240 --> 00:33:36,920
Speaker 9: there's a lot of people nationally that love to talk

836
00:33:36,920 --> 00:33:38,880
Speaker 9: about that stuff, and I don't think that they ever

837
00:33:38,880 --> 00:33:41,200
Speaker 9: really seen anything either, but call him out, John. It

838
00:33:41,200 --> 00:33:43,520
Speaker 9: would be just tough for me to sit there and

839
00:33:43,560 --> 00:33:45,400
Speaker 9: definitively say, no, this is the best I will say.

840
00:33:45,440 --> 00:33:47,560
Speaker 9: I don't think Mazzie Smith is in the ones there.

841
00:33:47,600 --> 00:33:49,360
Speaker 9: I would have him with the twos. I think Miss

842
00:33:49,400 --> 00:33:52,719
Speaker 9: Hankins and O'deiggie Zoo or your two starting defensive tackles

843
00:33:52,720 --> 00:33:55,440
Speaker 9: with Lawrence Parsons on the outside, and then your twos

844
00:33:55,520 --> 00:33:59,640
Speaker 9: in the middle would be Mazzi and Neville Gallimore. Now

845
00:33:59,680 --> 00:34:03,000
Speaker 9: this is where it gets interesting, because I would I

846
00:34:03,040 --> 00:34:05,240
Speaker 9: would have Sam Williams in there because I think he's

847
00:34:05,280 --> 00:34:08,920
Speaker 9: got the highest upside. But Dorince Armstrong is there, Dante Fowler, like,

848
00:34:08,960 --> 00:34:12,000
Speaker 9: those are guys that have proven it more. But but

849
00:34:12,040 --> 00:34:14,520
Speaker 9: Sam Williams for me, is the wild card. Because Sam

850
00:34:14,560 --> 00:34:18,200
Speaker 9: Williams could be five sacks, Sam Williams could be twelve sacks,

851
00:34:18,239 --> 00:34:19,719
Speaker 9: and either way, I would be like, yeah, I can

852
00:34:19,800 --> 00:34:21,560
Speaker 9: kind of see that happening, you know, Yeah, So.

853
00:34:21,520 --> 00:34:22,919
Speaker 2: I think I would.

854
00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:24,759
Speaker 3: I would go the same way with the starters d

855
00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:31,080
Speaker 3: Lall Hankins right now, Osa Parsons, and then then second level.

856
00:34:31,080 --> 00:34:33,439
Speaker 2: And I think this goes to Jim's point.

857
00:34:33,520 --> 00:34:35,000
Speaker 3: You go to the second level, and then you've got

858
00:34:35,040 --> 00:34:37,520
Speaker 3: Mazzie Smith, who of course is the first round defensive tackle,

859
00:34:37,760 --> 00:34:40,320
Speaker 3: Sam Williams, who's the second round defensive tackle, Nevill Callimore,

860
00:34:40,320 --> 00:34:42,719
Speaker 3: who's a third round defensive tackle. I said defensive tackle,

861
00:34:42,719 --> 00:34:44,319
Speaker 3: I mean ed rusher for Sam Williams, But you know

862
00:34:44,320 --> 00:34:44,680
Speaker 3: what I mean.

863
00:34:45,239 --> 00:34:46,720
Speaker 2: Dorren's Armstrong there as well.

864
00:34:47,280 --> 00:34:51,760
Speaker 3: I think, man, that's tough between Dorance Armstrong and Dante Fowler.

865
00:34:51,840 --> 00:34:54,040
Speaker 3: That's where I kind of have this this hold up

866
00:34:54,080 --> 00:34:55,520
Speaker 3: because I think I'm there with you. I think Sam

867
00:34:55,560 --> 00:34:59,320
Speaker 3: Williams is that other edg Rusher. What do you think, Isaiah?

868
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:01,880
Speaker 5: They're interchangeable, I really do.

869
00:35:02,280 --> 00:35:04,120
Speaker 2: But that's not the game, I know. But it depends

870
00:35:04,160 --> 00:35:05,240
Speaker 2: on the situations the game.

871
00:35:05,400 --> 00:35:06,799
Speaker 5: It depends on the situation. Man.

872
00:35:07,040 --> 00:35:09,239
Speaker 4: If I'm if I'm just simply just trying to get

873
00:35:09,280 --> 00:35:12,600
Speaker 4: back there for sacks, then yeah, Sam Williams. If I

874
00:35:12,600 --> 00:35:15,600
Speaker 4: if it's a third in medium, I'm probably using doorrans.

875
00:35:16,760 --> 00:35:19,160
Speaker 8: I'm just looking at these sac numbers are so twenty.

876
00:35:19,200 --> 00:35:21,200
Speaker 2: I mean Dallas had fifty four last year, correct, Yes,

877
00:35:21,239 --> 00:35:21,560
Speaker 2: they did.

878
00:35:21,640 --> 00:35:23,400
Speaker 5: Philly had the most. Philly has seventy.

879
00:35:23,520 --> 00:35:24,799
Speaker 8: Believe Yeah, I know you're right on.

880
00:35:24,880 --> 00:35:27,040
Speaker 9: It's just funny because I went back the last few

881
00:35:27,080 --> 00:35:29,440
Speaker 9: years and then I go to twenty twenty twenty and

882
00:35:29,480 --> 00:35:32,040
Speaker 9: twenty thirty one sacks Cowboys had.

883
00:35:32,200 --> 00:35:32,759
Speaker 5: Yeah.

884
00:35:32,880 --> 00:35:34,520
Speaker 9: And you know what' funny about last year though, too,

885
00:35:34,560 --> 00:35:36,840
Speaker 9: is like I know, Philly clearly had the most, Like

886
00:35:36,880 --> 00:35:40,000
Speaker 9: you said, seventy, there was there was a time, like

887
00:35:40,040 --> 00:35:41,640
Speaker 9: first half of the season where like I mean, they were

888
00:35:41,680 --> 00:35:43,640
Speaker 9: neck and neck with the Cowboys and then Philly pulled

889
00:35:43,640 --> 00:35:47,040
Speaker 9: the way towards the back end. So for me, there's

890
00:35:47,080 --> 00:35:48,680
Speaker 9: no reason they shouldn't be in that conversation all the

891
00:35:48,719 --> 00:35:50,480
Speaker 9: way to the end of the season. But that also

892
00:35:50,480 --> 00:35:52,279
Speaker 9: brings up a point that I'm just interested to see,

893
00:35:52,320 --> 00:35:53,800
Speaker 9: like how do they do on that second half of

894
00:35:53,800 --> 00:35:56,880
Speaker 9: the season. There were times where Micah Parsons wasn't as

895
00:35:56,960 --> 00:35:58,920
Speaker 9: effective getting after the quarterback a little bit later in

896
00:35:58,920 --> 00:36:00,200
Speaker 9: the season. It was part of the reason in this

897
00:36:00,200 --> 00:36:02,000
Speaker 9: obviose season, im about bulking up a little bit more

898
00:36:02,080 --> 00:36:04,400
Speaker 9: for that, you know, that stretch run and being a

899
00:36:04,440 --> 00:36:05,359
Speaker 9: little bit healthier then.

900
00:36:05,480 --> 00:36:07,200
Speaker 8: So that's to me where it's got to be.

901
00:36:07,560 --> 00:36:10,440
Speaker 9: And then to how Nick points out, you know the

902
00:36:10,480 --> 00:36:12,360
Speaker 9: way that this schedule sets up, you know it's a

903
00:36:12,400 --> 00:36:14,600
Speaker 9: lot of running backs early, a lot more passing later.

904
00:36:14,960 --> 00:36:16,920
Speaker 9: A lot more passing would lead to more sacks, So

905
00:36:16,960 --> 00:36:18,120
Speaker 9: maybe that happens in the second half.

906
00:36:18,200 --> 00:36:18,600
Speaker 8: That's the key.

907
00:36:18,680 --> 00:36:19,480
Speaker 5: This is my prediction.

908
00:36:19,640 --> 00:36:25,760
Speaker 4: If Dallas can be in the top fifteen in rush defense,

909
00:36:26,440 --> 00:36:28,120
Speaker 4: they will lead the league in sacks.

910
00:36:28,920 --> 00:36:31,200
Speaker 3: Like that, okay, because they go hand in hand, absolutely,

911
00:36:31,280 --> 00:36:33,400
Speaker 3: I like that. I like it as well, and I

912
00:36:33,440 --> 00:36:36,319
Speaker 3: think I agree with you. I think it goes back

913
00:36:36,360 --> 00:36:38,120
Speaker 3: to what we talked about right at the jump too,

914
00:36:38,320 --> 00:36:42,919
Speaker 3: of having this secondary affect the pass rush and.

915
00:36:42,840 --> 00:36:43,960
Speaker 2: Having this secondary.

916
00:36:44,120 --> 00:36:46,520
Speaker 3: This is a better secondary than Dallas has had in

917
00:36:46,600 --> 00:36:47,360
Speaker 3: quite some time.

918
00:36:47,520 --> 00:36:48,920
Speaker 5: This is the best secondary in the league.

919
00:36:49,680 --> 00:36:52,040
Speaker 3: No, I'm not ready in the conversa, but it's in

920
00:36:52,040 --> 00:36:54,920
Speaker 3: the conversation, which is saying something because they have never

921
00:36:54,960 --> 00:36:55,920
Speaker 3: been in the conversation.

922
00:36:56,000 --> 00:36:58,080
Speaker 7: It's the best cornerback duo in the league. I'm ready

923
00:36:58,120 --> 00:37:00,319
Speaker 7: to say that. I think I'm ready to say.

924
00:37:00,440 --> 00:37:03,040
Speaker 2: Let me see the regular season. Stefan Gilmour.

925
00:37:03,120 --> 00:37:05,400
Speaker 3: First, I love training camp pipe as much as anybody,

926
00:37:05,400 --> 00:37:07,360
Speaker 3: but let's let me see it first.

927
00:37:07,360 --> 00:37:09,440
Speaker 2: For that, I think they're really really good, don't get

928
00:37:09,480 --> 00:37:09,759
Speaker 2: me wrong.

929
00:37:09,760 --> 00:37:12,279
Speaker 3: And they're in the conversation even if they aren't the

930
00:37:12,800 --> 00:37:17,600
Speaker 3: answer to that conversation. But with that secondary, I think

931
00:37:17,640 --> 00:37:20,080
Speaker 3: it opens up the possibilities. Look at Philadelphia, the reason

932
00:37:20,160 --> 00:37:22,000
Speaker 3: why they had seventy sacks is because they had depth

933
00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:24,880
Speaker 3: on the defensive line and they had depth in the secondary.

934
00:37:25,160 --> 00:37:27,800
Speaker 3: Dallas had depth on the defensive line, they didn't necessarily

935
00:37:27,800 --> 00:37:29,680
Speaker 3: have any depth in the secondary, especially in the back

936
00:37:29,680 --> 00:37:30,239
Speaker 3: half of the season.

937
00:37:30,280 --> 00:37:32,520
Speaker 2: Whenever did Philadelphia did end up pulling away.

938
00:37:33,040 --> 00:37:35,799
Speaker 3: So with that being said, seventy sacks for Philly last year,

939
00:37:35,840 --> 00:37:38,400
Speaker 3: fifty four for Dallas. Let's go back to Brian's question,

940
00:37:38,840 --> 00:37:40,719
Speaker 3: how many sacks Nick, do you think the Cowboys have

941
00:37:40,760 --> 00:37:41,640
Speaker 3: in twenty twenty three.

942
00:37:41,840 --> 00:37:43,920
Speaker 7: I think with the addition of Stefan Gilmore, because I've

943
00:37:43,920 --> 00:37:45,759
Speaker 7: seen regular season Stefan Gilmore, I know what he can

944
00:37:45,800 --> 00:37:46,480
Speaker 7: bring to the table.

945
00:37:46,520 --> 00:37:47,680
Speaker 2: I agree, I think they.

946
00:37:47,640 --> 00:37:49,839
Speaker 6: Can get to sixty sixty. I think they can get

947
00:37:49,840 --> 00:37:52,879
Speaker 6: to sixty if everyone stays healthy. That's key, that's low.

948
00:37:53,760 --> 00:37:56,720
Speaker 2: I'm kidding, I don't know. I'd probably say like under sixty.

949
00:37:56,760 --> 00:37:58,399
Speaker 6: I think it's a healthy over under.

950
00:37:58,480 --> 00:38:01,319
Speaker 3: At sixty, I would say over over, yeah, over by

951
00:38:01,360 --> 00:38:04,160
Speaker 3: a little bit. I'd say sixty three if everybody stays healthy.

952
00:38:04,239 --> 00:38:07,480
Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, I'm gonna take over because I think they're

953
00:38:07,520 --> 00:38:10,200
Speaker 9: good enough to average for a game that would be

954
00:38:10,239 --> 00:38:12,279
Speaker 9: sixty eight. And I did that in my calculator. There's

955
00:38:12,280 --> 00:38:15,080
Speaker 9: no chance, no chance to have that in my head.

956
00:38:15,760 --> 00:38:17,480
Speaker 9: I'm completed when it comes to math. So that was

957
00:38:17,480 --> 00:38:20,920
Speaker 9: all the calculator, and so that puts Philly last year

958
00:38:20,920 --> 00:38:22,720
Speaker 9: a little over for a game. I think this team

959
00:38:22,880 --> 00:38:26,359
Speaker 9: is capable of doing for a game. But a big

960
00:38:26,400 --> 00:38:28,880
Speaker 9: part of that will be Michael Parsons. He's had thirteen

961
00:38:28,960 --> 00:38:30,960
Speaker 9: I think, and then thirteen and a half. I think

962
00:38:31,040 --> 00:38:34,400
Speaker 9: he's you know, I think he's poised too, especially if

963
00:38:34,400 --> 00:38:35,800
Speaker 9: he can keep it going on the back half of

964
00:38:35,840 --> 00:38:38,760
Speaker 9: the season. He could be a sixteen seventeen eighteen SAT guy.

965
00:38:39,200 --> 00:38:42,000
Speaker 3: Could he get if he keeps the train move and

966
00:38:42,040 --> 00:38:43,560
Speaker 3: the way that he did in the first two thirds

967
00:38:43,560 --> 00:38:44,920
Speaker 3: of the season last year, Could.

968
00:38:44,719 --> 00:38:46,080
Speaker 2: He get to twenty? Yeah?

969
00:38:46,160 --> 00:38:48,960
Speaker 9: If that happened though, to me, a key piece and

970
00:38:48,960 --> 00:38:51,560
Speaker 9: that would be just they'd have to have outstanding health

971
00:38:51,600 --> 00:38:54,680
Speaker 9: on defense because if that happens, then you know, there's

972
00:38:54,680 --> 00:38:57,280
Speaker 9: so many other guys that will wear on the defense

973
00:38:57,400 --> 00:39:00,520
Speaker 9: that he's I feel like to get to twenty. And

974
00:39:00,840 --> 00:39:03,960
Speaker 9: I might be I might not be talking factually here,

975
00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:05,640
Speaker 9: so you guys can call me out if you want,

976
00:39:05,680 --> 00:39:07,160
Speaker 9: But I find it hard to believe you get to

977
00:39:07,200 --> 00:39:09,760
Speaker 9: twenty sacks that they're all just like twenty just hard earned.

978
00:39:09,800 --> 00:39:10,960
Speaker 8: I just got every bit of that.

979
00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:12,640
Speaker 9: Like, there's got to be some guineas that are there's

980
00:39:12,680 --> 00:39:14,239
Speaker 9: some layups where you're just like, hey, I've bet it

981
00:39:14,239 --> 00:39:17,719
Speaker 9: from this. Also, when I'm saying that, I'm thinking significantly

982
00:39:17,760 --> 00:39:20,360
Speaker 9: it's on one play and it's that that the Brett

983
00:39:20,360 --> 00:39:22,440
Speaker 9: fire going down with Michael Strahan got the record.

984
00:39:22,680 --> 00:39:23,960
Speaker 8: Michael Strahan obviously deserves.

985
00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:26,080
Speaker 9: I mean, he's outstanding, but I just always think of

986
00:39:26,120 --> 00:39:28,600
Speaker 9: that play like we're usually no, nope, you got it down.

987
00:39:28,719 --> 00:39:29,399
Speaker 2: Have fun, have fun.

988
00:39:29,440 --> 00:39:30,320
Speaker 6: Okay, okay, okay.

989
00:39:30,520 --> 00:39:32,680
Speaker 3: What do you think over under sixty sacks for the

990
00:39:32,719 --> 00:39:34,880
Speaker 3: Cowboys defense? Should everybody stay healthy?

991
00:39:34,920 --> 00:39:35,920
Speaker 2: That's a big key in this.

992
00:39:36,719 --> 00:39:38,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, if they can do, if they have a solid

993
00:39:38,200 --> 00:39:41,200
Speaker 4: rush defense, they'll hit sixty two. That's my number, sixty two.

994
00:39:41,360 --> 00:39:42,319
Speaker 2: Okay, there you go.

995
00:39:42,520 --> 00:39:45,000
Speaker 3: So lots of high expectations for the defense, as you

996
00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:48,120
Speaker 3: would anticipate going into the year. But I think if

997
00:39:48,120 --> 00:39:51,560
Speaker 3: they get less than sixty, either health is a is

998
00:39:51,600 --> 00:39:54,840
Speaker 3: a big factor in it, or it's just a lack.

999
00:39:54,640 --> 00:39:58,359
Speaker 9: Of execution because the town you say, when you said

1000
00:39:58,800 --> 00:40:01,239
Speaker 9: about the running, that's because you feel like if they

1001
00:40:01,280 --> 00:40:03,279
Speaker 9: can stop the run, then teams will just be forced

1002
00:40:03,280 --> 00:40:03,520
Speaker 9: to throw.

1003
00:40:03,560 --> 00:40:04,520
Speaker 8: You have more opportunities.

1004
00:40:04,600 --> 00:40:06,560
Speaker 4: Yes, so that's one portion of it, right, But also

1005
00:40:06,600 --> 00:40:07,759
Speaker 4: you have to go to the other side of the

1006
00:40:07,760 --> 00:40:09,320
Speaker 4: ball and the offense. Offense has to be able to

1007
00:40:09,320 --> 00:40:12,319
Speaker 4: put up points. So the offense is dragging and they're

1008
00:40:12,360 --> 00:40:15,080
Speaker 4: not putting up points effectively. Right now, We're not looking

1009
00:40:15,080 --> 00:40:17,640
Speaker 4: for this to be killing Moore sky at out type offense, right,

1010
00:40:17,640 --> 00:40:19,440
Speaker 4: but they need to be able to have a fourteen

1011
00:40:19,480 --> 00:40:21,520
Speaker 4: point lead in order to take teams.

1012
00:40:21,200 --> 00:40:22,840
Speaker 5: Out of their game plan. Yeah.

1013
00:40:23,040 --> 00:40:25,040
Speaker 4: Right, if you have a ten fourteen point lead, now

1014
00:40:25,040 --> 00:40:27,640
Speaker 4: you could start taking teams out of their game plan.

1015
00:40:27,680 --> 00:40:29,640
Speaker 4: As long as teams can remain in their game plan,

1016
00:40:29,719 --> 00:40:32,200
Speaker 4: then my approach to this defense is running the ball.

1017
00:40:32,920 --> 00:40:33,080
Speaker 5: Yeah.

1018
00:40:33,120 --> 00:40:34,680
Speaker 9: When he says that the game, I always think of

1019
00:40:34,760 --> 00:40:37,360
Speaker 9: his last year against Minnesota, Like how Mike on that

1020
00:40:37,440 --> 00:40:39,279
Speaker 9: first series just set the tone and he was coming

1021
00:40:39,320 --> 00:40:42,320
Speaker 9: on that backside and sacked Cousins And I'll just always

1022
00:40:42,320 --> 00:40:45,319
Speaker 9: remember it because I love at and T Stadium, But

1023
00:40:45,400 --> 00:40:47,760
Speaker 9: my favorite thing about Minnesota is an open press box,

1024
00:40:47,800 --> 00:40:49,879
Speaker 9: and just to be able to actually hear all that sound,

1025
00:40:50,160 --> 00:40:52,400
Speaker 9: it was just wild because I'll never forget how Micah

1026
00:40:52,440 --> 00:40:55,480
Speaker 9: was coming off the backside and Cousins doesn't see him,

1027
00:40:55,640 --> 00:40:58,120
Speaker 9: but you can just hear the crowd like wanting to

1028
00:40:58,200 --> 00:41:01,239
Speaker 9: yell to him, like he's closing in like you're not

1029
00:41:01,280 --> 00:41:03,719
Speaker 9: gonna make this. It was such a tone center for

1030
00:41:03,760 --> 00:41:05,479
Speaker 9: the rest of that game. And that's like the most

1031
00:41:05,480 --> 00:41:07,440
Speaker 9: complete game I've seen, and a lot of it has

1032
00:41:07,480 --> 00:41:09,240
Speaker 9: to do with exactly what you said. It just completely

1033
00:41:09,360 --> 00:41:11,239
Speaker 9: because that's the thing a lot of people hate on

1034
00:41:11,320 --> 00:41:14,400
Speaker 9: Kirk Cousins and Minnesota was rolling at that time, and

1035
00:41:14,440 --> 00:41:17,120
Speaker 9: the way that they just from the very beginning defensively.

1036
00:41:16,920 --> 00:41:19,560
Speaker 2: Eight and one, right, I think so, yeah.

1037
00:41:19,040 --> 00:41:20,880
Speaker 9: Yeah, they had bet coming off that game when they

1038
00:41:20,920 --> 00:41:23,320
Speaker 9: beat the Bills. Yeah that you know that.

1039
00:41:23,320 --> 00:41:24,880
Speaker 2: That was a wild game all the time.

1040
00:41:25,120 --> 00:41:26,400
Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, like they were rolling.

1041
00:41:26,560 --> 00:41:29,000
Speaker 9: So it's not like it's this, oh well, I just

1042
00:41:29,040 --> 00:41:31,080
Speaker 9: know a lot of Cowboys fans feel like, well they

1043
00:41:31,120 --> 00:41:33,080
Speaker 9: always beat the Vikings, but it's like, no, they've beaten

1044
00:41:33,120 --> 00:41:34,879
Speaker 9: some good vikings. But that game, when you said, that's

1045
00:41:34,920 --> 00:41:36,800
Speaker 9: the first one I thought of, because that changed up everything.

1046
00:41:36,800 --> 00:41:38,320
Speaker 8: The way they said the tone early with that, I

1047
00:41:38,440 --> 00:41:38,919
Speaker 8: really did.

1048
00:41:39,040 --> 00:41:40,720
Speaker 2: All Right, we got to take our second break.

00:43:22,480 --> 00:43:24,160
Speaker 12: Tod thought it would be secure to jog in the

1081
00:43:24,239 --> 00:43:27,160
Speaker 12: cheetah Savannah. Todd believed the big Cat repellent he bought

1082
00:43:27,200 --> 00:43:30,080
Speaker 12: online was reliable, and now Todd is trying to be

1083
00:43:30,120 --> 00:43:32,640
Speaker 12: faster than this cheetah that can run eighty miles per

1084
00:43:33,400 --> 00:43:35,160
Speaker 12: But the good news is Todd has AT and T

1085
00:43:35,239 --> 00:43:37,920
Speaker 12: five G. It is fast, reliable, and secure, and he

1086
00:43:38,040 --> 00:43:40,200
Speaker 12: learned the best thing to do is stop running and

1087
00:43:40,400 --> 00:43:40,919
Speaker 12: toss her.

00:43:56,920 --> 00:43:59,319
Speaker 3: The final segment of Talking Cowboys is brought to you

1095
00:43:59,360 --> 00:44:02,400
Speaker 3: by in is a line, the official smile of the

1096
00:44:02,520 --> 00:44:06,280
Speaker 3: Dallas Cowboys. Alongside Isaiah stand back, John Matchoda, Nick Harris,

1097
00:44:06,440 --> 00:44:07,279
Speaker 3: Chris Beam in the back.

1098
00:44:07,320 --> 00:44:10,160
Speaker 2: I'm Kyle Yeomans glad you're with us? Are at Isaiah?

1099
00:44:10,360 --> 00:44:13,680
Speaker 3: In that early segment, we were talking about offensive line

1100
00:44:13,680 --> 00:44:17,160
Speaker 3: and we were talking about Tyler Smith, our guy Kent

1101
00:44:17,560 --> 00:44:20,239
Speaker 3: from La Crusis, New Mexico.

1102
00:44:20,560 --> 00:44:22,759
Speaker 2: He uh, he wanted to call you out.

1103
00:44:24,160 --> 00:44:26,640
Speaker 3: He texted into the Cowboys text line eight one seven

1104
00:44:26,680 --> 00:44:29,160
Speaker 3: two nine zero three two nine eight. He said, I

1105
00:44:29,160 --> 00:44:32,480
Speaker 3: don't understand how you are so concerned with potentially losing

1106
00:44:32,520 --> 00:44:35,440
Speaker 3: a guard, but say you're okay with losing a tackle

1107
00:44:35,480 --> 00:44:37,160
Speaker 3: when it requires moving a guard.

1108
00:44:37,320 --> 00:44:38,680
Speaker 2: I know what you were trying to say. I want

1109
00:44:38,680 --> 00:44:40,960
Speaker 2: you to get a chance to defend yourself here. You're

1110
00:44:41,000 --> 00:44:43,520
Speaker 2: not okay with losing anybody on that offensive.

1111
00:44:43,120 --> 00:44:44,480
Speaker 5: Line, right? No, not okay at all?

1112
00:44:44,520 --> 00:44:47,360
Speaker 4: And obviously what I was getting at, Yes, you have

1113
00:44:47,480 --> 00:44:50,359
Speaker 4: to still rotate a new guard in if you lose

1114
00:44:50,400 --> 00:44:53,759
Speaker 4: a tackle. However, Okay, losing a tackle at least you

1115
00:44:53,760 --> 00:44:57,240
Speaker 4: have a formidable backup that you feel confident about.

1116
00:44:57,320 --> 00:44:58,680
Speaker 5: That's what I was getting at.

1117
00:44:58,840 --> 00:45:03,600
Speaker 4: The guard position solely does not have a strong suitor

1118
00:45:04,160 --> 00:45:06,560
Speaker 4: that you feel confident about on this roster, regardless if

1119
00:45:06,560 --> 00:45:08,359
Speaker 4: that means if you lost a tackle, you gotta bump

1120
00:45:08,400 --> 00:45:09,719
Speaker 4: one in, it doesn't matter. I don't care how you

1121
00:45:09,760 --> 00:45:12,160
Speaker 4: get to it. You don't feel good about your gardens.

1122
00:45:12,640 --> 00:45:16,440
Speaker 4: And we know that the front office knows that I

1123
00:45:16,520 --> 00:45:18,720
Speaker 4: was assumed that they were working on that. I assume

1124
00:45:18,760 --> 00:45:20,839
Speaker 4: that this probably scares the crap out of them. And

1125
00:45:20,840 --> 00:45:23,879
Speaker 4: this is kind of a he little hello, hello, little moment,

1126
00:45:23,960 --> 00:45:29,560
Speaker 4: kay lit little Yeah. Anyways, So yeah, so yeah, I

1127
00:45:29,600 --> 00:45:32,279
Speaker 4: address that you just if you have to rotate that

1128
00:45:32,400 --> 00:45:34,719
Speaker 4: guard position at all, it's a bad situation for the

1129
00:45:34,800 --> 00:45:39,480
Speaker 4: Dallas Cowboys currently where the development exists for their backups.

1130
00:45:39,560 --> 00:45:39,759
Speaker 5: Yeah.

1131
00:45:40,120 --> 00:45:43,239
Speaker 9: I always wonder how much PTSD is with Cowboys fans

1132
00:45:43,280 --> 00:45:46,040
Speaker 9: from that Chaz Green Adrian Claiborne game.

1133
00:45:46,440 --> 00:45:49,080
Speaker 8: I know I think about that significantly.

1134
00:45:48,440 --> 00:45:50,799
Speaker 9: Just because it was so it just stood out so

1135
00:45:50,960 --> 00:45:53,040
Speaker 9: much that I feel like anytime there's no offensive line

1136
00:45:53,080 --> 00:45:56,120
Speaker 9: injury and you think about, like to your point when

1137
00:45:56,120 --> 00:45:58,040
Speaker 9: you were thinking, oh, when you mentioned the backup guards.

1138
00:45:58,080 --> 00:46:00,000
Speaker 9: I'm thinking, okay, who is it? Like, who would I feel?

1139
00:46:00,080 --> 00:46:02,880
Speaker 9: And I'm thinking TJ Bass right now. But there's a

1140
00:46:03,080 --> 00:46:04,799
Speaker 9: there's a part of you when you're thinking about it,

1141
00:46:04,920 --> 00:46:06,840
Speaker 9: and of course that's guard and Chans.

1142
00:46:06,680 --> 00:46:07,840
Speaker 8: Green was playing on the outside.

1143
00:46:07,840 --> 00:46:09,480
Speaker 9: But it just is one of those things where you're

1144
00:46:09,520 --> 00:46:12,040
Speaker 9: just like you just start fearing like, well then everything's

1145
00:46:12,080 --> 00:46:15,320
Speaker 9: going to fall apart where I don't know, like I

1146
00:46:15,440 --> 00:46:18,319
Speaker 9: really I I have a lot of confidence in Mike

1147
00:46:18,400 --> 00:46:21,560
Speaker 9: McCarthy when there's chaos, like he's done some he's really

1148
00:46:21,560 --> 00:46:23,359
Speaker 9: impressed me over the last couple of years, like whether

1149
00:46:23,400 --> 00:46:25,840
Speaker 9: it be that going down or in some situations where.

1150
00:46:25,640 --> 00:46:26,560
Speaker 5: He's handles some situations.

1151
00:46:26,600 --> 00:46:29,000
Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, yeah, so if there were to be without

1152
00:46:29,160 --> 00:46:30,439
Speaker 8: he's had plenty of them too.

1153
00:46:30,719 --> 00:46:33,520
Speaker 9: Yeah, Like I give him a lot of credit for

1154
00:46:33,560 --> 00:46:35,560
Speaker 9: his ability in those in those type of situations that

1155
00:46:35,760 --> 00:46:37,399
Speaker 9: he'll have a plan for for this type of thing.

1156
00:46:37,440 --> 00:46:38,640
Speaker 9: And the other thing is when you have a really

1157
00:46:38,680 --> 00:46:41,200
Speaker 9: experienced head coach like that, well we'll sit here and

1158
00:46:41,239 --> 00:46:42,960
Speaker 9: talk about this and fans will listen to this and

1159
00:46:43,280 --> 00:46:45,040
Speaker 9: you know, be worried about there's not going to be

1160
00:46:45,120 --> 00:46:46,960
Speaker 9: much that he hasn't seen. You know, I thought that

1161
00:46:47,000 --> 00:46:48,520
Speaker 9: was funny Estuary when he was talking about the Kicker,

1162
00:46:48,560 --> 00:46:50,200
Speaker 9: when he was asked about Kicker and he was like, well,

1163
00:46:50,239 --> 00:46:51,960
Speaker 9: just to be honest, I mean, I haven't had like

1164
00:46:51,960 --> 00:46:54,279
Speaker 9: a sold you know, the guy every single year. I

1165
00:46:54,280 --> 00:46:56,440
Speaker 9: mean every year. It's been somebody different, you know, for

1166
00:46:56,440 --> 00:46:57,320
Speaker 9: the last three years.

1167
00:46:57,360 --> 00:46:58,399
Speaker 8: So that's one.

1168
00:46:58,520 --> 00:47:00,480
Speaker 9: That's one of those things with the experien So I'm

1169
00:47:00,480 --> 00:47:03,920
Speaker 9: sure he's ready to roll with a game plan that

1170
00:47:03,960 --> 00:47:05,839
Speaker 9: will compliment if it is a TJ.

1171
00:47:05,960 --> 00:47:06,640
Speaker 8: Bass or whoever.

1172
00:47:06,680 --> 00:47:06,880
Speaker 15: You know.

1173
00:47:07,120 --> 00:47:08,239
Speaker 8: Obviously it's gonna limit things.

1174
00:47:08,280 --> 00:47:09,400
Speaker 9: It's not gonna be the same because I think you're

1175
00:47:09,400 --> 00:47:11,200
Speaker 9: gonna have to take some stuff off the table. But

1176
00:47:12,600 --> 00:47:14,239
Speaker 9: I have a lot of confidence that he would come

1177
00:47:14,280 --> 00:47:15,520
Speaker 9: up with a good game plan.

1178
00:47:15,719 --> 00:47:19,200
Speaker 3: Now with Tyler Smith dealing with this hamstring again, the

1179
00:47:19,239 --> 00:47:22,200
Speaker 3: Cowboys believe it's minor. They're taking a precautionary look at

1180
00:47:22,200 --> 00:47:25,520
Speaker 3: it with the MRI today. But Nick, when you look

1181
00:47:25,560 --> 00:47:27,719
Speaker 3: at the depth chart, you said something in a moment

1182
00:47:27,760 --> 00:47:29,080
Speaker 3: ago that kind of piqued my interest.

1183
00:47:29,120 --> 00:47:31,400
Speaker 2: Would TJ. Bass be your number one option?

1184
00:47:31,480 --> 00:47:34,640
Speaker 3: Because they've only got three guys offensive lineman wise that

1185
00:47:34,719 --> 00:47:36,360
Speaker 3: are behind the starters.

1186
00:47:36,360 --> 00:47:38,000
Speaker 2: It's true mydoga who of course.

1187
00:47:37,840 --> 00:47:39,640
Speaker 3: Is banged up in his own right as he left

1188
00:47:39,640 --> 00:47:43,080
Speaker 3: that training camp practice late in Oxnard. Awesome Richards, the

1189
00:47:43,080 --> 00:47:45,440
Speaker 3: fifth round rookie out of North Carolina, and then the

1190
00:47:45,560 --> 00:47:48,480
Speaker 3: undrafted rookie TJ Bass jumping in, and we just talked

1191
00:47:48,480 --> 00:47:51,279
Speaker 3: about Terrence Steele as an undrafted free agent who was

1192
00:47:51,320 --> 00:47:53,799
Speaker 3: thrown into the fire early and continued to work to

1193
00:47:53,840 --> 00:47:57,080
Speaker 3: where he is now. I'm not saying that's the ideal situation,

1194
00:47:57,200 --> 00:47:59,520
Speaker 3: but do you feel comfortable if Tyler Smith is unable

1195
00:47:59,560 --> 00:48:02,160
Speaker 3: to go on Sunday Night that TJ Bass could fill

1196
00:48:02,239 --> 00:48:02,680
Speaker 3: that void.

1197
00:48:02,880 --> 00:48:05,200
Speaker 7: I'm gonna say no, just because I don't want to

1198
00:48:05,200 --> 00:48:07,440
Speaker 7: throw an undrafted rookie into the fire like that. Yeah,

1199
00:48:07,520 --> 00:48:09,520
Speaker 7: I'm gonna give a quick case for each of those three.

1200
00:48:09,520 --> 00:48:09,759
Speaker 2: Though.

1201
00:48:09,960 --> 00:48:12,400
Speaker 6: Chumay Dooga, I feel like has more of a guard build.

1202
00:48:12,440 --> 00:48:14,239
Speaker 7: He's got that wide set. I don't feel like he's

1203
00:48:14,239 --> 00:48:16,000
Speaker 7: athletic enough to be at tackle. I want to put

1204
00:48:16,040 --> 00:48:17,719
Speaker 7: him in that phone booth and get him working with

1205
00:48:17,719 --> 00:48:19,839
Speaker 7: that wide, that white set, because he's got really good hands,

1206
00:48:19,840 --> 00:48:21,040
Speaker 7: So I want to put him there and see what

1207
00:48:21,080 --> 00:48:23,200
Speaker 7: that looks like and correct me if I'm wrong. But

1208
00:48:23,239 --> 00:48:25,319
Speaker 7: whenever Tyler Smith went out yesterday. I know we only

1209
00:48:25,320 --> 00:48:26,920
Speaker 7: had like two or three minutes, but I believe.

1210
00:48:26,640 --> 00:48:27,840
Speaker 6: It was Chuma that rotated in.

1211
00:48:28,080 --> 00:48:30,160
Speaker 9: I didn't see, Okay, I believe it was, but it

1212
00:48:30,200 --> 00:48:32,760
Speaker 9: was like, yeah.

1213
00:48:30,960 --> 00:48:33,839
Speaker 6: It wasn't Dentton, Like it was so far away from

1214
00:48:33,920 --> 00:48:34,279
Speaker 6: telling you.

1215
00:48:34,480 --> 00:48:36,680
Speaker 9: That has always been the thing going back to Valley Ranch,

1216
00:48:36,719 --> 00:48:38,840
Speaker 9: as the head coach is like always put the offensive

1217
00:48:38,840 --> 00:48:39,760
Speaker 9: line is far away.

1218
00:48:40,160 --> 00:48:41,680
Speaker 8: I mean even look at training camp, they always do

1219
00:48:41,719 --> 00:48:42,279
Speaker 8: it like this's got to.

1220
00:48:42,280 --> 00:48:45,239
Speaker 2: Be in the far end where nobody can see.

1221
00:48:45,560 --> 00:48:47,239
Speaker 9: There was there was a time and during one of

1222
00:48:47,280 --> 00:48:50,000
Speaker 9: the walkthroughs, during one of the it was the second

1223
00:48:50,040 --> 00:48:54,160
Speaker 9: from last week of practice, where they worked out kind

1224
00:48:54,160 --> 00:48:55,640
Speaker 9: of in front of where we were, and I just

1225
00:48:55,680 --> 00:48:57,440
Speaker 9: thought it was funny because I remember I went over

1226
00:48:57,440 --> 00:48:58,240
Speaker 9: there and took a picture.

1227
00:48:58,360 --> 00:48:59,360
Speaker 8: You went over there, took a picture.

1228
00:48:59,400 --> 00:49:01,360
Speaker 9: Patrick Walker ever took a picture just because it was

1229
00:49:01,440 --> 00:49:03,680
Speaker 9: like it was just the offensive line working out. But

1230
00:49:03,719 --> 00:49:06,640
Speaker 9: it's like they never work out anywhere near where anybody's at,

1231
00:49:06,680 --> 00:49:08,919
Speaker 9: like media wise, they always make sure that they're they're

1232
00:49:09,000 --> 00:49:09,880
Speaker 9: way far away.

1233
00:49:10,160 --> 00:49:12,080
Speaker 8: And it has to know by design, it has to.

1234
00:49:12,120 --> 00:49:13,560
Speaker 6: Be it has to be really quick to finish up

1235
00:49:13,560 --> 00:49:16,520
Speaker 6: those three. TJ. Bass I really love what he's put together.

1236
00:49:16,640 --> 00:49:18,759
Speaker 7: He had one of the best pass block and run

1237
00:49:18,760 --> 00:49:21,200
Speaker 7: blocking grades in preseason, but granted it was preseason. I

1238
00:49:21,239 --> 00:49:23,279
Speaker 7: really want to give him time because if you cheat

1239
00:49:23,280 --> 00:49:25,799
Speaker 7: his process, that's that's going to be unfortunate. He has

1240
00:49:25,840 --> 00:49:28,000
Speaker 7: a ton of experience at left guard. He's coming in

1241
00:49:28,040 --> 00:49:30,080
Speaker 7: with that experience at left guard. They've worked him at

1242
00:49:30,120 --> 00:49:31,759
Speaker 7: right guard just to kind of get him used to

1243
00:49:32,000 --> 00:49:33,600
Speaker 7: having both sides, and if he needs to kind of

1244
00:49:33,600 --> 00:49:35,640
Speaker 7: fill in both sides, they have that. But he comes

1245
00:49:35,640 --> 00:49:37,640
Speaker 7: in with a ton of experience from Oregon at left guard.

1246
00:49:37,760 --> 00:49:39,520
Speaker 7: And then don't forget about Austin Richard's got a ton

1247
00:49:39,560 --> 00:49:41,439
Speaker 7: of work at left guard during training camp. They want

1248
00:49:41,440 --> 00:49:43,480
Speaker 7: to be able to use him at either left tackle.

1249
00:49:43,320 --> 00:49:45,040
Speaker 6: Or left guard. That's another guy I don't want to

1250
00:49:45,040 --> 00:49:46,120
Speaker 6: throw into the fire that early.

1251
00:49:46,200 --> 00:49:50,640
Speaker 7: So if it comes a situation where if Tyler Smith

1252
00:49:50,640 --> 00:49:52,759
Speaker 7: cannot play on Sunday night, I think shootway Dooga is

1253
00:49:52,760 --> 00:49:53,680
Speaker 7: probably your best off.

1254
00:49:53,800 --> 00:49:55,120
Speaker 2: He's the veteran of the group.

1255
00:49:55,239 --> 00:49:56,319
Speaker 6: Feel comfortable about that.

1256
00:49:56,360 --> 00:49:59,319
Speaker 3: But yeah, I think that's the conversation is we don't

1257
00:49:59,320 --> 00:50:01,560
Speaker 3: feel comfortable about anything if any one of those top

1258
00:50:01,600 --> 00:50:03,520
Speaker 3: five guys go down, but there has to be some

1259
00:50:03,560 --> 00:50:06,080
Speaker 3: sort of backup plan, and it appears that those at

1260
00:50:06,160 --> 00:50:07,280
Speaker 3: least would be the early.

1261
00:50:07,080 --> 00:50:09,600
Speaker 2: Indications of those backup plans.

1262
00:50:09,600 --> 00:50:11,840
Speaker 8: But and he should be familiar with that stadium, right.

1263
00:50:11,760 --> 00:50:15,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, he's played there a couple times before. Right yeah,
