Speaker 1: and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.

Speaker 4: Yes?
Speaker 1: Are you ready for a break?
Speaker 5: Absolutely?
Speaker 3: Ready for a break?
Speaker 6: Yeah, And so much for that.
Speaker 1: It's time for The Break on Dallas Cowboys dot Com
Speaker 1: with Ambar Garcia, Brian brought Us, Nick Harris, and Derek Eagleton.
Speaker 2: It's Friday, August ninth, twenty twenty four, Season twenty, episode
Speaker 2: number fifteen. Welcome to the latest edition of The Break

Speaker 2: o leadevo.
Speaker 3: Everybody doing this morning excellent?
Speaker 2: It's nice and quiet piece.
Speaker 3: It's amazing how quiet it is here right now. So
Speaker 3: let's make some noise. Let's make some noise.
Speaker 2: All right, Let's talk a little bit of Cowboys football.
Speaker 2: We we had a really fun I thought fun practice yesterday.
Speaker 2: You had the rams here with the Cowboys. So anytime
Speaker 2: you get a chance to watch Cowboys players up against
Speaker 2: other players, you kind of get a sense for how
Speaker 2: they're doing. Even though you know, it may be very
Speaker 2: different than what you see when they're just going against
Speaker 2: each other every day. But after we finished practice, we're
Speaker 2: thinking that, you know, we got all this stuff to
Speaker 2: talk about, us football talk about, and then all hell
Speaker 2: breaks looks in Cowboys Nation. Basically as a result of
Speaker 2: an interview, Nah, as a result right that Jerry did
Speaker 2: and Nick, you were standing there for the interview. I
Speaker 2: just want to make sure we're clear on what exactly
Speaker 2: was saying and then we'll talk a little bit about
Speaker 2: what it all means, because a lot of ramifications happened
Speaker 2: as a result of this interview. But tell us what happened.
Speaker 2: I guess in the interview what Jerry actually said regarding
Speaker 2: Ceedee Lamb's contract.
Speaker 5: I have a breakdown up on dallascowboys dot com if
Speaker 5: you're more of the reading person than the visual person.
Speaker 5: But I'll give you the exchange as it was given
Speaker 5: yesterday to between Jerry Jones and a couple of reporters
Speaker 5: as far as how he communicated his feelings on CD Lamb.
Speaker 5: So question from reporter one week three of training camp
Speaker 5: is winding down. Can you envision September eighth coming and
Speaker 5: CD Lamb not being ready to go. Jerry says, well,
Speaker 5: I don't know about that, but I know that we're
Speaker 5: getting great work done, making real progress, and I don't
Speaker 5: think we're losing a step where we are now. Another
Speaker 5: reporter comes in, is there a sense of urgency keyword
Speaker 5: as you begin the preseason to get CD done? Jerry
Speaker 5: says no. Same reporter asks why do you say that?
Speaker 5: And Jerry says, just a long pause. I went to
Speaker 5: high school, I went to college. I don't know why
Speaker 5: I said it. I'm just saying I don't know, and
Speaker 5: he starts laughing. I don't have a sense of urgency
Speaker 5: about getting it done. Pick any reason you want. I
Speaker 5: was at NOBU two days ago. Give that as a reason.
Speaker 5: Whatever you want. Put it out there. And so just
Speaker 5: the quote of I don't have any urgency to get
Speaker 5: it done was posted to Twitter. Ceedee Lamb responds, for
Speaker 5: the first time throughout this entire holdout, this is the
Speaker 5: first words we've heard him utter. And oddly enough, it
Speaker 5: was just three letters. It was just LOL with a period,
Speaker 5: And I feel like the period is even more telling
Speaker 5: than the LOL in some instances. But those four characters, man,
Speaker 5: they shook up the entire NFL world. You had Chefter
Speaker 5: retweeting it, you had Bleachree Report talking about it, you
Speaker 5: had us talking about it.
Speaker 6: There's a lot.
Speaker 5: There was a lot going on here yesterday, so much
Speaker 5: so that a couple of hours after this all went down,
Speaker 5: like you said, like I forgot there was a joint
Speaker 5: practice that we had yesterday. So it's an interesting situation
Speaker 5: than Dak Prescott. He takes his weekly podium and as
Speaker 5: he's getting off the stage, he says, I know y'all
Speaker 5: want to ask I got urgency for it to happen,
Speaker 5: And so we kind of dive into that a little
Speaker 5: bit more, and he said that he needed to talk
Speaker 5: to CD a little bit more about the entire quote
Speaker 5: and how it was communicated from Jerry. But nevertheless, really
Speaker 5: just strange day yesterday when it came to the CD
Speaker 5: negotiations and how it all shook out.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's really interesting because as we all know, we've
Speaker 2: worked in this business long enough, it doesn't take much.
Speaker 2: And we also know this and this is one of
Speaker 2: the great things for us. And I'm talking about media
Speaker 2: covering the Cowboys. Jerry can stir it up with the
Speaker 2: best of them, right, He could create some some headlines
Speaker 2: and uh, and so sometimes you look at these kinds
Speaker 2: of situations and you wonder like, is this Jerry kind
Speaker 2: of stirring it up? Was he kind of joking around?
Speaker 2: We remember when when he did the zach zeku before
Speaker 2: Zeke got paid, and then Zeke you know, had the
Speaker 2: T shirt at the press conference, and and so it's
Speaker 2: you know, sometimes this kind of stuff can be taken
Speaker 2: a lot more seriously than maybe even Jerry thinks about it.
Speaker 2: But what were your thoughts as you guys kind of
Speaker 2: read what happened and it all started kind of blowing up.
Speaker 2: What were your thoughts and how concerned are you that
Speaker 2: this could turn into a problem for the cowboys?
Speaker 7: Sure, I'll start when as it was happening, and I
Speaker 7: was like, what, you know, here comes the drama. You know,
Speaker 7: we we love some drama around here. But we started
Speaker 7: going to through a bunch of speculations and even Nick
Speaker 7: came up with the theory, what if the contract is
Speaker 7: actually done and they're just laughing at us. You know,
Speaker 7: it's a joke. It's an inside joke right now. So
Speaker 7: it's uh it can we talk about it? Was the
Speaker 7: Twitter bio a thing or no?
Speaker 5: Yeah, the Twitter bio is the thing. We don't know
Speaker 5: exactly when something changed.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know it happened obviously, but he took
Speaker 2: America Team off his bio, which.
Speaker 7: We don't know what happened, Okay, but it was again,
Speaker 7: that was something that was brought up yesterday as well,
Speaker 7: people saying, well, hold on, he took that off his
Speaker 7: Twitter bio, and then you start creating all these stories
Speaker 7: in your head. Another thing that we heard yesterday is
Speaker 7: that his agent is in the Olympics right now in.
Speaker 6: Paralympics handball guy.
Speaker 7: But it just it just came about the whole thing
Speaker 7: of like, okay, well he's on the outside right now,
Speaker 7: CD's not here. And when you start seeing things on
Speaker 7: social media start you start creating your own personal story
Speaker 7: and you look at things differently. So I can imagine
Speaker 7: everything happening and him not getting in touch with Jerry afterwards,
Speaker 7: like on the phone or Jerry reaching out after this
Speaker 7: whole thing started blowing up because we've seen it. I mean,
Speaker 7: you're our boss. Of course, we're a lot closer than
Speaker 7: they are. But it's the same thing of like if
Speaker 7: something happens, you jump on the phone call and just
Speaker 7: clear the air and make sure everything's clear it out.
Speaker 7: We know that Jerry and the Cowboys they do want
Speaker 7: CD Lamb. I can't imagine them going through a season
Speaker 7: this season, specifically without a guy like CD. Yes, the
Speaker 7: wide receivers have been looking really, really good, that doesn't
Speaker 7: mean you don't need freaking City Lamb on the field. So,
Speaker 7: especially after everything that happened during off season and what
Speaker 7: you did not do as far as free agency signings
Speaker 7: and all of that, I think this is a situation
Speaker 7: that hopefully they cleared the air. But I'm here for
Speaker 7: the drama, you know, goes. Let's keep it fun. No,
Speaker 7: I hate it, but let's just get it done. Never
Speaker 7: a dull day, right, Yeah.
Speaker 3: This is the great example of the Cowboys are going
Speaker 3: to do things different than other NFL teams when it
Speaker 3: comes to front office moves and the way that they're
Speaker 3: going to do their contracts. Yes, you know they they
Speaker 3: operate in a way of the owner is the general manager,
Speaker 3: and that's that's fine. You know, there's a lot of
Speaker 3: teams that have family members that run their teams. No
Speaker 3: problem with that at all. Jerry's gonna hold the line
Speaker 3: on this one. I believe this is I believe this
Speaker 3: is true. Now they're they're looking at it probably in
Speaker 3: a way of how much resolved does ceed Lamb have?
Speaker 3: Is he willing to miss games? Is he willing to
Speaker 3: give up a million dollars a week to miss games? Now?
Speaker 3: The flip side of that is, okay, I'll report, but
Speaker 3: got a little tight hamstring here, got some things going on.
Speaker 3: Got you know, maybe there's some things that maybe you
Speaker 3: can that you can worry about that way. But I
Speaker 3: really do believe that the Cowboys have resolved in this thing,
Speaker 3: and they're going to They're going to the way that
Speaker 3: they operate is clearly different than anybody else in the NFL,
Speaker 3: and they're going to see how far they can carry C. D.
Speaker 3: Lamb in the negotiations before. Maybe you know, and the
Speaker 3: Cowboys have had some some a little bit of a
Speaker 3: history of giving in on some deals. We've seen it happen.
Speaker 3: I'm not making stuff up. We've seen it happen with
Speaker 3: with Zeke out here. We've seen it happen with Zach
Speaker 3: Martin out here. So they have a little bit of
Speaker 3: a history of kind of saying, Okay, we're going to
Speaker 3: do this this way. But I think this is Jerry
Speaker 3: really drawing the line? I think I agree with you, Amber.
Speaker 3: I do believe they want they want CD here, but
Speaker 3: they're they're gonna try and get this single on their terms,
Speaker 3: and they're going to see how far he's willing to
Speaker 3: take this. Can he take this to the point where
Speaker 3: he's giving up a million dollars a week not to
Speaker 3: play football. That's pretty strong resolved right there.
Speaker 2: If I if my memory's right, and I'm over fifty now,
Speaker 2: so sometimes memory is not right.
Speaker 6: Fish oil, fish oil.
Speaker 3: You're right, works, there's not enough of it in the world.
Speaker 2: I think I recall that when this situation was going
Speaker 2: on with with with Zach Martin. Jerry also says something
Speaker 2: in the media is some similar to the thing of
Speaker 2: when he shows up, he shows up right, almost like
Speaker 2: the same thing, like we're holding the line. We're not
Speaker 2: worried about this. When he wants to show up, he'll
Speaker 2: show up. They end up paying him, right then zeke
Speaker 2: zek Ou like yeah, and then they paid him. So
Speaker 2: I think I think part of this too.
Speaker 3: I agree with you.
Speaker 2: I think Jerry's holding the line, but also think, you know,
Speaker 2: part of this is gamesmanship, and I think that when
Speaker 2: it comes down to negotiating deals. I think the cowboys
Speaker 2: negotiate the deal, and they negotiate hard, and by the way,
Speaker 2: players also ggoti the agent's also negotiate hard, and that
Speaker 2: becomes That's why it ends up being this tension that
Speaker 2: quite frankly, I think all of us media fans feel
Speaker 2: the tension for more than they do. I think they
Speaker 2: understand this is the business. We're doing the business. We're
Speaker 2: doing the dance of the business to figure out how
Speaker 2: do we get positioned ourselves to get the best deal possible.
Speaker 2: And I think both sides are doing it. I don't
Speaker 2: think I personally, I don't think and I haven't talked
Speaker 2: to CD, but I don't think CD is sitting at
Speaker 2: home stewing over this. I think it's a gamesmanship from
Speaker 2: him as well. I think he sees that and he's like,
Speaker 2: all right, l O L all right, if I'm gonna I.
Speaker 7: Took off period the period.
Speaker 2: But that's that's that's the thing. If he if he's
Speaker 2: sitting at home, it's like, Okay, if you're gonna play
Speaker 2: that game, I can't play that game too. I don't
Speaker 2: think it's personal. I think it's just the business. It's
Speaker 2: the it's the negotiation. This is how it goes when
Speaker 2: you're when you're negotiating a deal.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and you bring up some excellent points about how
Speaker 3: some comments have been made before and then deals have
Speaker 3: gotten done and so but that's you know, like I say,
Speaker 3: Jerry is the general manager, and you know if he
Speaker 3: believes that the Jones does negotiate tough. They not just
Speaker 3: in football and business, they negotiate tough and and so
Speaker 3: you know, they have a way of doing things. It
Speaker 3: might not be on everybody else's plans. And you know,
Speaker 3: but the thing that kind of makes you feel about
Speaker 3: it is Jerry talked about the leaves needs to seem
Speaker 3: more leave's fault. Well, you do have that. You do
Speaker 3: have an idea of where some of these contracts are at.
Speaker 3: So you're thinking, like, okay, well he has the information
Speaker 3: that he needs where he sees his guy. Does he
Speaker 3: see his guy in with the others? Does he see
Speaker 3: him with the Jeffersons and the Hills and the you know,
Speaker 3: Hills was not anymore. It was just more money, more
Speaker 3: guarant But there's some creative ways that they can do this.
Speaker 3: I'm sure they're thinking about that, but I think this
Speaker 3: is about I really do think it's about you know,
Speaker 3: how far are you willing to carry this, because we'll
Speaker 3: carry it. You know. With there there's there is and
Speaker 3: I hate to say this though, is that there's there's
Speaker 3: job security there. And I mean that in a nice way.
Speaker 3: There's if you're a general manager and you're fighting it
Speaker 3: every day, that like this could be my last year.
Speaker 3: You know, you're going to do everything you can to
Speaker 3: make sure that you signed the guys and and give
Speaker 3: yourself the best chance. Here, they could like, okay, you
Speaker 3: know we this is how our setup is. And a
Speaker 3: lot of teams have this setup in that way, and
Speaker 3: so to me, I just see them kind of saying, okay,
Speaker 3: I'm I see where you're at here, and maybe they're
Speaker 3: maybe they're not willing to to to give in like
Speaker 3: they did on some of these other deals before. Maybe
Speaker 3: it's like, okay, we have to draw the line here. Now.
Speaker 3: You know, we've we've kind of we've kind of allowed
Speaker 3: some deals, the deals we were just talking about to happen,
Speaker 3: and so now it's like, okay, let's see where we're
Speaker 3: at here. Uh, with this particular deal, I.
Speaker 5: Would still be surprised if we get to week one
Speaker 5: and see Lambs not on the field.
Speaker 3: Oh I would too, I would too, but I thought
Speaker 3: it was going to be ten days in.
Speaker 2: Let me ask you when you say that, When you
Speaker 2: say that, are you saying you'd be surprised if you
Speaker 2: get there and he's not there, or you'd be surprised
Speaker 2: if you get there and he doesn't have a deal,
Speaker 2: Because those are two different things. Like, as Brian said,
Speaker 2: is he willing to go million dollars a week? That's
Speaker 2: the whole different thing. Man, he has a deal.
Speaker 3: His his fifth year option pays him about seventeen and
Speaker 3: a half million. And you think about that, Is he
Speaker 3: willing to give up a million dollars a week not
Speaker 3: to play football? Right? You know? And that that's a
Speaker 3: strong that you have to have some serious resolve to
Speaker 3: be able to you know, to be able to walk
Speaker 3: away from that. And I, I this is just my thought.
Speaker 3: I think the Cowboys are betting that he doesn't. I
Speaker 3: think that my opinion. I think the Cowboys are looking
Speaker 3: at this saying he does not have he does not
Speaker 3: have it in him to walk away from a million
Speaker 3: dollars a week. I think that that's just how I
Speaker 3: look at it. I think the record.
Speaker 2: I don't either, But go ahead.
Speaker 7: I think he'll be there first week of the season.
Speaker 3: But just with a new contract.
Speaker 7: As he just asked, he'll be there in person. Let
Speaker 7: me just ask you guys this.
Speaker 3: Yeah. But see that's what I'm saying. That's the problem
Speaker 3: now I have. I think the Cowboys are going to
Speaker 3: I think the Cowboys are really going to play. They're
Speaker 3: going to play this all the way out and see
Speaker 3: if he's like, okay, I'll come in four. But say
Speaker 3: he has a contract. It could be below really what
Speaker 3: the top receivers. You know, it could be instead of
Speaker 3: thirty five million dollars, it could be a thirty million
Speaker 3: dollar contract.
Speaker 2: But you know, I actually don't think the number is
Speaker 2: going to be the hold. I don't think that's what's
Speaker 2: holding this thing up. I actually believe this is about
Speaker 2: how you structure it because when you, oh, yeah, that's
Speaker 2: where the problems laughing this team. Think about where Cowboys
Speaker 2: right now are having struggles. It's in the salary cap.
Speaker 2: So they got to think about it's not the total number,
Speaker 2: it's like, how do we divvy this up so that
Speaker 2: every year it's not going to put us over salary capital?
Speaker 2: Also trying to negotiate maybe a sixty million dollar deal
Speaker 2: with the quarterback. Maybe who knows how much you're gonna
Speaker 2: have to pay Mike, if you know when that time comes.
Speaker 2: We started looking at that. The Cowboys really have to
Speaker 2: think about, like how much is being is contracts exactly? Yeah,
Speaker 2: And I think that's more of the issue.
Speaker 3: And that's a big issue.
Speaker 2: Than just the number. I think the number has been
Speaker 2: laid out. You just look at all the other comps,
Speaker 2: so you got the number to.
Speaker 3: Them, You're absolutely right. Yeah, to the receiver, better than Jefferson,
Speaker 3: better than Hill? You think, well, no, that's what.
Speaker 2: No, No, I'm asking him. Do you think do you
Speaker 2: think he is better than Jeffs?
Speaker 3: Well, no, I think I'm saying he as a player,
Speaker 3: looks at he's the one guy that I would pay.
Speaker 3: That's just me talking again, it's not Dallas guy. It's
Speaker 3: me talking. Yah. Yeah, i'd pay him because I think
Speaker 3: he's gonna live up to his contract. Agree, I would
Speaker 3: pay him. Yeah. Now, now he's probably looking at it
Speaker 3: as wait a minute, Jefferson's good. My numbers to Jefferson,
Speaker 3: my numbers to Hill, my numbers to Brown, my numbers
Speaker 3: two he's looking at it that way, and.
Speaker 2: You think he thinks in that way, he thinks I
Speaker 2: should be the highest page.
Speaker 3: Yeah, the cowboys have to think about the balance sheet
Speaker 3: he's thinking about. No, they call the role. I'm right
Speaker 3: in the I'm I'm on the top three.
Speaker 2: Absolutely.
Speaker 3: So that's where I think. I think you've got people
Speaker 3: trying to look at how to stagger contracts, and rightfully so.
Speaker 3: And you've got a player saying, hey, this is BS you.
Speaker 3: You don't want to pay me more than that guy.
Speaker 3: You don't want to be My numbers you look at
Speaker 3: over the years, my numbers are just as comparable or
Speaker 3: better than a lot of these guys that are already
Speaker 3: getting paid.
Speaker 5: I still think he comes under Jefferson to that To
Speaker 5: that note though, and I think I think the smart
Speaker 5: annual value comes under Jefferson.
Speaker 6: I think the.
Speaker 3: Guaranteed money, that's where it's gonna be.
Speaker 5: Where guarantee Hill is getting, it'll push to where a J.
Speaker 5: Brown is getting a monross Aint Brown. I think that's
Speaker 5: probably where the semantics of this and the nuance of
Speaker 5: this deal is probably being worked out. And also the length,
Speaker 5: if you're looking at it from cde Lamb's perspective, you
Speaker 5: have a quarterback who's going into the final year of
Speaker 5: his deal, you have a lot of uncertainty around your
Speaker 5: coaching staff, around certain players. On the defensive side, you
Speaker 5: have Zach Martin who's going to the final year of
Speaker 5: his deal. So if you want to create a little
Speaker 5: bit more certainty for yourself, get a shorter term deal,
Speaker 5: get that three year deal.
Speaker 6: So that cowboy doesn't help the Cowboys at all.
Speaker 5: So that's exactly and so from a CD perspective, that
Speaker 5: allows him to have some freedom down the line. Whereas
Speaker 5: if the Cowboys get him to sign a five year deal,
Speaker 5: which is probably what the team would want, then that
Speaker 5: pushes him ount even further. Let's say three years from now,
Speaker 5: he doesn't have that quarterback, he doesn't have that coaching staff,
Speaker 5: he doesn't have that offensive line in front of him.
Speaker 6: He's gonna want out, and.
Speaker 5: I think that would create a more toxic situation than
Speaker 5: what happened yesterday. So I think the dynamics of everything,
Speaker 5: it's everybody trying to predict the future, and nobody can
Speaker 5: really predict the future. At the end of the day,
Speaker 5: I think Dax deal is going to be a very
Speaker 5: big determining factor in all this. I think Dak's deal
Speaker 5: and those negotiations have to reach a certain threshold for
Speaker 5: this team to feel comfortable signing a CD LAMB to ideal,
Speaker 5: just because they need to understand the number that DAK
Speaker 5: is going to have at the end of the day,
Speaker 5: and they need to have an expectation of what MICA's
Speaker 5: number will look like next year. I think once they
Speaker 5: have a good good feel about those two numbers, CD
Speaker 5: can get done. But I really do believe that this
Speaker 5: CD and DAK negotiation, that's not a coincidence.
Speaker 7: I have heard update on the dark contract.
Speaker 6: Yeah, there was no update yesterday.
Speaker 7: Yeah, so that's another thing that's lingering on there as well.
Speaker 2: It is a lot good a question, Yeah, but I
Speaker 2: want to do this. Let's take our break and we
Speaker 2: come back. I want to take Amber's question, and there
Speaker 2: will take question, and then we'll actually get to some
Speaker 2: practice notes and we'll figure out what you guys saw
Speaker 2: up there on the practice of yesterday. We haven't come

Speaker 2: Welcome back to the Break.
Speaker 3: We're presented by LG.
Speaker 2: This segment is brought to you by Blockchain dot Coming.
Speaker 2: All right, here we go Amber. Before the break, you
Speaker 2: had a question.
Speaker 3: What was the question?
Speaker 7: I've been getting this question a lot on social media.
Speaker 7: Can the Cowboys play a game without CD?
Speaker 2: Okay?
Speaker 7: Obviously the answer is yes, yeah, But how well can
Speaker 7: they play given the fact that we keep talking about
Speaker 7: how well the receivers have been doing a training can
Speaker 7: everybody and you know it'll be tough to make some
Speaker 7: cuts down the road here soon. But how confident or
Speaker 7: how comfortable would you guys feel with the Cowboys playing
Speaker 7: a game if that was to be the scenario for
Speaker 7: whatever the reason? Can they play week one? How well
Speaker 7: can they play without a CD?
Speaker 6: Yeah?
Speaker 5: It depends on the game, right and we're looking at
Speaker 5: the game being the Cleveland Browns and the defense that
Speaker 5: they had last year in Cleveland. You need a playmaker
Speaker 5: like CD Lamb on the field. I think if it
Speaker 5: was a situation where you know, you're playing the Commander's
Speaker 5: Week one and they're trying to figure out their new
Speaker 5: identity under Dan Quinn and things of that nature, maybe
Speaker 5: have a little bit more freedom there. But I think
Speaker 5: with the instance of going to Cleveland, it being that
Speaker 5: afternoon game, that first Fox game of the season, and
Speaker 5: you're going into the Dog Pound, you need CD Lamb
Speaker 5: in that building.
Speaker 3: Quarterbacks outstanding. You know, he's playing practicing really well out here.
Speaker 3: I mean he's gonna have to carry you. There was
Speaker 3: a similance of a running game yesterday. You know there
Speaker 3: were some holes. I haven't seen a lot of holes
Speaker 3: when it's been Cowboys versus Cowboys. There were holes when
Speaker 3: it was Cowboys vers Rams. How well can you run
Speaker 3: the football? Will you allow teams to completely take away?
Speaker 3: Ferguson Cooks had a good day yesterday. I would mention
Speaker 3: him as one of my top guys. Tolbert showing a
Speaker 3: little bit something more than what we kind of thought,
Speaker 3: or at least what I thought he was gonna be.
Speaker 3: You don't want to play a game without Lamb. But
Speaker 3: to me, it's not as dire as I once thought
Speaker 3: it was coming in here because I've seen I've seen
Speaker 3: a little bit of emergence of Tolbert and the quarterback
Speaker 3: looks like he's picked up where he left off last
Speaker 3: year with some of his throws. So that would be, Yeah,
Speaker 3: you're gonna put it all on him, and you know
Speaker 3: he's he'll he'll, he'll go as best as he can
Speaker 3: with it. But it would be a it'd be difficult,
Speaker 3: but it's it's and I'm not even gonna say manageable.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna say it probably won't look pretty, but you know,
Speaker 3: you got to find a way to get it done.
Speaker 2: If that was the case, Yeah, I'll tell you this.
Speaker 2: I actually was having this conversation with a couple of
Speaker 2: media guys as we were standing watching practice a couple
Speaker 2: of days ago, and I asked the question, do you
Speaker 2: think Dak looking at him out here on the field
Speaker 2: this year, looking at the fact that last year he
Speaker 2: was second in voting, second in voting in the NFL
Speaker 2: as far as far as league MVP, do you think
Speaker 2: he's at the point in his career where he could
Speaker 2: feasibly carry this offense with without the talent around him,
Speaker 2: like with just good talent around him and everybody everybody
Speaker 2: to a man that was in that conversation said, you know,
Speaker 2: I think he might be able to do it. I
Speaker 2: think maybe he's at that point where he could do that.
Speaker 2: And so to your question, Amber, that's always been a question,
Speaker 2: and quite frankly, he's never really been put in that
Speaker 2: position other than one time, and he wasn't ready at
Speaker 2: that point. But but I think now, I think you
Speaker 2: look at how he's developed, you look at what he's
Speaker 2: doing out here just training camp, and obviously that's not
Speaker 2: the game, so let's not equate it in the same way.
Speaker 2: But it does give me reason to believe that if
Speaker 2: ever there was a chance for him to be able
Speaker 2: to take that next step as a quarterback. Where again,
Speaker 2: when you're gonna make sixty million, you're not gonna have
Speaker 2: all the talent around you. Can you be the person
Speaker 2: that really makes it go. I actually want to see
Speaker 2: if he's ready, if he's ready to take that next sleep.
Speaker 2: And I'll tell you this, that's a dangerous thing for
Speaker 2: CD because if CD doesn't have a contract at that
Speaker 2: point and the Cowboys start watching, and let's say you
Speaker 2: get two or three games into the season and this
Speaker 2: offense is moving without CD Lamb, now it begs the
Speaker 2: question do the Cowboys need to pay? Do they need
Speaker 2: to really then be focused on paying Dak Prescott more
Speaker 2: so than they are focused on paying CD Lamb. And
Speaker 2: I'm not saying any of this will happen. All I'm
Speaker 2: saying is those are the things that you'll be watching,
Speaker 2: and I'm sure CDs camp will be watching as well.
Speaker 2: If he decides to continue his holdout like that can
Speaker 2: get really really interesting for everybody.
Speaker 6: You need Cede Lamb in January.
Speaker 5: That's where I think they can hold that leverage there,
Speaker 5: just because they Dad could go out and have four
Speaker 5: hundred and fifty yards passing in the first three weeks
Speaker 5: in each game, They're still going to need CD Lamb
Speaker 5: whenever playoff time comes around.
Speaker 6: So I still feel like that leverage is on the table.
Speaker 5: He's still at the end of the day that he
Speaker 5: is their best offensive playmaker and whenever they do go
Speaker 5: to San Francisco they need him. Whenever they do play
Speaker 5: against Detroit in the season or whether that's in the
Speaker 5: playoffs too, they need him.
Speaker 6: And he was very crucial in that Detroit game last year.
Speaker 5: So I think they could still hold that leverage at
Speaker 5: the end of the day, regardless of how Dak.
Speaker 6: Performs stood to open the Season's that's how.
Speaker 3: I still want That was it. That was the whole question.
Speaker 2: That the whole question is actually a really great question.
Speaker 6: Yeah, all right, let's get some practicing.
Speaker 2: Let's hear what happened on the field yesterday. It was
Speaker 2: actually a really good I thought a lot of good competition.
Speaker 2: I saw a lot of interesting things from the Cowboys.
Speaker 2: Let's go down the line. Let's start first on the
Speaker 2: offensive side of the ball. I want each you guys
Speaker 2: to give me an observation that you saw from the
Speaker 2: Cowboys offense going up against the Rams defense.
Speaker 7: Let's start first with you, Brian, no start with me,
Speaker 7: because I think he's gonna say the same because we
Speaker 7: were standing around the same spot or we were watching
Speaker 7: the same stuff.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna talk about the old life.
Speaker 7: Let's just hope and pray that everybody, all the starters
Speaker 7: stay healthy, they all stay healthy this season because the
Speaker 7: backups did not look good. They were on the ground
Speaker 7: quite a bit, and it's just it's very different than Brian.
Speaker 7: We were talking about the difference it makes when you
Speaker 7: go up, when you start practicing or playing against other
Speaker 7: people that is not the people that you've been practicing
Speaker 7: against this whole time, and we saw that. I mean,
Speaker 7: I didn't realize how bad they actually were until until yesterday.
Speaker 7: As far as these backup.
Speaker 3: Guys one on ones.
Speaker 7: Was like I was just like, oh my god, uh
Speaker 7: uh oh my god, oh oh that hurt me. So
Speaker 7: that was just an a completely eye opening for me
Speaker 7: to see that because I have I hadn't realized the
Speaker 7: lack of ability that was there up until they had
Speaker 7: to go against the Rams yesterday. In that point, But
Speaker 7: another thing that I was gonna say that that's on
Speaker 7: the positive, and we already kind of mentioned it was
Speaker 7: the running game Sekiel, Elliott, Rinco Doll. I mean they're
Speaker 7: starting to show up and that's very, very exciting. And
Speaker 7: when you see the started o line, the holes and
Speaker 7: the gaps that they're creating for them, and then their
Speaker 7: ability to break and run free has been really really impressive.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I can I follow up the question there.
Speaker 5: Do you feel whenever you say the backup offensive line
Speaker 5: had a weekday, are you looking more so at the
Speaker 5: tackles or are you looking at the offensive line as
Speaker 5: a whole, Because I feel like TJ.
Speaker 6: Bass and Cooper Bebe they still had some good moments yesterday.
Speaker 7: Good moment, but in the sense that it's similar to
Speaker 7: what we've been watching already. That's where the other players
Speaker 7: stood out most that you think they're they're okay, and
Speaker 7: then they were absolutely terrible. BB. I think there's still
Speaker 7: room to grow there.
Speaker 6: For sure.
Speaker 7: A lot he looked okay. It wasn't impressive, it wasn't like,
Speaker 7: oh my god, let's cry about this draft pick. But TJ. Bass,
Speaker 7: on the other hand, he's a guy that even since
Speaker 7: last year, a lot of people have always talked very
Speaker 7: highly about him, and he's a guy that I think
Speaker 7: I still like And what he's done. He's had his
Speaker 7: good moments, but again not to the point where I'm
Speaker 7: like extremely impressed.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think there was. There was a little bit
Speaker 3: of both in which because I was when I was
Speaker 3: watching BB, I was like, okay, that's a good rip
Speaker 3: because uh and thank you guys for letting me be
Speaker 3: a part of training camp live again. And and I
Speaker 3: was down with the with the offensive line in the
Speaker 3: backups and stuff, and I thought there was sometimes the tackles.
Speaker 3: I think Matt will Let's go had a rough day yesterday.
Speaker 3: I think that Steele at times had a rough day yesterday.
Speaker 3: Awesome Richards. I know the one video of him, you know,
Speaker 3: with first going over the top of him was played
Speaker 3: and that was a bad rep. What bothered me about
Speaker 3: the backups yesterday and but the ones, like you mentioned,
Speaker 3: there was a good reps with BB. I thought Ball
Speaker 3: held his own yesterday at guard which you know what
Speaker 3: bothered me yesterday about the group is I've seen him
Speaker 3: block against the Cowboys front in the one on once
Speaker 3: and played with really good technique, you know, hands inside,
Speaker 3: sit down, you know, kick side punch. Yesterday it was
Speaker 3: like going back to survival, Like, Okay, I got you
Speaker 3: get beat badly on the first rep, and now you're
Speaker 3: going to try and short set of guy and then
Speaker 3: you lunch and then he swims around you and now
Speaker 3: you're off bouts and it's snowballs on it. There was
Speaker 3: times where you're like, man, they don't even look like
Speaker 3: they've practiced, you know, work because but that's the thing
Speaker 3: that bothers you the most is when you've seen him
Speaker 3: have some success. It's the same thing like we was
Speaker 3: talking about with Mazzie Smith. And I don't mean to
Speaker 3: bring him into this, but I do. When you see
Speaker 3: positivity and then you're like, what just happened? What And
Speaker 3: it's like all these players and I think this is
Speaker 3: what that practice did yesterday. It was in a way
Speaker 3: eye opening that how could they how could they look
Speaker 3: so good going against guys and then they get in
Speaker 3: this and then it turns into like chaos, you know
Speaker 3: with it. But I uh, that was something that was
Speaker 3: again eye opening to me.
Speaker 5: I will say for me, whenever the team drills were
Speaker 5: going on early in practice, the Cowboys, they were relying
Speaker 5: a lot on their run game, Like they.
Speaker 6: Came out with a lot they throw.
Speaker 3: That left side was good. Yeah, the number one watching.
Speaker 5: It was super awesome and that left side was awesome.
Speaker 5: Richards and Tyler Smith and so Rico Dowdell Ezekiel Elliott.
Speaker 5: They both had big runs on the left side of
Speaker 5: that offensive line. It gotta give credits. Yeah, huge holes.
Speaker 5: And I have to give credit to bro Kauffman as well.
Speaker 5: He was going back and forth with Kobe Turner.
Speaker 6: Looks so good.
Speaker 5: Kobe Turner's awesome. I mean, he's a great defensive tackle
Speaker 5: for them. I think they got to steal there. I
Speaker 5: think they ended up with him in the second or
Speaker 5: third round a year a year ago, and he's gonna
Speaker 5: be their guy that kind of not Aaron Donald replacement.
Speaker 5: You can't replace that guy, but he's gonna be the
Speaker 5: guy that's in the interior that they're going to rely
Speaker 5: upon a little bit more. But him, Brandon Fisk they
Speaker 5: were rotating in and brock Kaufman was still able to
Speaker 5: have his battles with them. He took a punch and
Speaker 5: he'd punch right back, you know, and almost figured almost
Speaker 5: literally too, because they were getting into it a little
Speaker 5: bit with some words. But I really loved what I
Speaker 5: saw in the running game because that's the biggest question
Speaker 5: on this offense. Arguably you could say it's the only
Speaker 5: question on this offense, depending on how you feel it
Speaker 5: left tackle and center. But they answered a lot of
Speaker 5: questions yesterday as far as Okay, Rico daubt o make
Speaker 5: a big play, Okay Ezekiel Elliott can make a cut.
Speaker 5: So I think both of those things were really big
Speaker 5: to come away with. As far as the offensive side
Speaker 5: of the ball.
Speaker 3: You know when you when you mentioned the running game,
Speaker 3: dude and a dooga was in there until he had
Speaker 3: the until he had the spasms in his back, and
Speaker 3: then he was out of the line up there. But
Speaker 3: that listen, there were a couple of times there where
Speaker 3: Hoffman and even Bebe playing center. They were so quick
Speaker 3: to get out. You know, they were second level block
Speaker 3: and there was that they had that ability to get
Speaker 3: up in the second level and they they were so
Speaker 3: quick that they overshot, able to kind of adjust back
Speaker 3: and then kind of get there get their guys squared up.
Speaker 3: So yeah, the running game aspect I thought was pretty
Speaker 3: pretty solid.
Speaker 6: Yesterdar and if I could defensively, man Eric Hendricks had
Speaker 6: an awesome day.
Speaker 2: Yeah, real quick, we're going to take our break when
Speaker 2: we come back, We'll get to the defensive side of
Speaker 2: the ball, and I'll have each of you guys give
Speaker 2: us an observation you have from the defense. We'll do

Speaker 2: Welcome back to the final segment of the Break. Here
Speaker 2: from Oxnard, California, we have one, two, three more episodes.
Speaker 2: Your camp. So this thing is round and out. It's
Speaker 2: only three more because we get we're next twoes Day
Speaker 2: and Thursday and then with a following Tuesday, and then
Speaker 2: we'll be heading home on Thursday.
Speaker 3: So uh it is.
Speaker 2: It's moving along here. We're actually past the halfway point
Speaker 2: of our time here in Oxtar.
Speaker 3: Nobody is so happy than you. It seems like, say again,
Speaker 3: nobody's more happier than you about this, are you?
Speaker 2: I want my life back.
Speaker 6: Feels like college's that's that's what I tell people. And
Speaker 6: it's back home.
Speaker 5: It's like, yeah, we all eat together, we sleep in dorms,
Speaker 5: we we hang out and do work until like eleven
Speaker 5: eleven thirty. Yes, almost at schoolwork, but I was like
Speaker 5: studying that doesn't sound right. But yeah, it feels like
Speaker 5: college in a sense.
Speaker 3: It's it's I love this. Yeah that's great.
Speaker 2: I mean, don't love me wrong. The weather's awesome. We
Speaker 2: get a lot done. But like I enjoy going home
Speaker 2: at nineteen, my family and you know, all the things
Speaker 2: that comes to being at home. I just I'm ready
Speaker 2: to go.
Speaker 6: I missed my pup, miss my pup.
Speaker 2: But that's okay. We're working through this thing. Got about
Speaker 2: a weekend. So let's get some defense observations. What'd you
Speaker 2: guys see from the Cowboys defense against the Rams office yesterday?
Speaker 5: Yeah, I jumped the gun, but here we go. Eric
Speaker 5: Kendricks Man, he looked fantastic yesterday. And if you're looking for,
Speaker 5: you know that on field presence, that on field leadership presence.
Speaker 5: He not only brought it from a schematic and knowledge standpoint,
Speaker 5: but from a play standpoint yesterday too.
Speaker 6: And he was everywhere the ball was.
Speaker 5: And that's exactly what you want from from from your
Speaker 5: main linebacker going into the season. I think whenever you
Speaker 5: look at Kendricks, he needs to have that role where
Speaker 5: he is on top of the ball on any given play,
Speaker 5: especially in the run game. And that's where we saw him.
Speaker 5: Whether it was Cadron Williams or Blake Korham getting handoffs
Speaker 5: from Matthew Stafford or Stetson benn In or Jimmy Garoppolo,
Speaker 5: it was Eric Kendricks that was right there to be ready.
Speaker 6: And he just understands it.
Speaker 5: And that's the knowledge, that's the experience that he has
Speaker 5: in this league and the acknowledge and experience that he
Speaker 5: has has in this defensive system and I think that's
Speaker 5: going to radiate not only throughout the linebacking chorus time
Speaker 5: goes on, but the entire team. You have a safety
Speaker 5: group that is really good at playing the run and
Speaker 5: guys like Donovan Wilson and Milie Cooker in my eyes
Speaker 5: one day, Thomas as well, and so if you have
Speaker 5: a guy in front of them like Eric Kendricks that
Speaker 5: can play the run to his knowledge, to his experience,
Speaker 5: that makes their job so much easier on the back end.
Speaker 5: I think he's gonna be We're gonna look up at
Speaker 5: week eleven, Week twelve, We're gonna be like, man, we
Speaker 5: really underestimated that Eric Kendricks pickup back when it happened,
Speaker 5: just because no one cared at that point. But I
Speaker 5: think that's probably been one of the better pickups that
Speaker 5: the Cowboys have made in free agency over the last
Speaker 5: few years.
Speaker 6: So I'll say it a whole lot, but it is
Speaker 6: it's saying a lot this time.
Speaker 5: You know.
Speaker 2: It's interesting about that is I think a lot of people,
Speaker 2: the fans will get to see this once they start
Speaker 2: playing games. But you can now see, you can see
Speaker 2: the difference of how much a veteran, really good linebacker
Speaker 2: makes in the middle of your defense, just being able
Speaker 2: to diagnose things, being able to get into the right spot,
Speaker 2: like all the things that you saw last year in
Speaker 2: the run game that just kind of like how is that?
Speaker 2: Like how did that guy have that much room to
Speaker 2: be able to run? It matters when you have that
Speaker 2: linebacker there. And I was talking to Patrick Walker yesterday
Speaker 2: we were off air and and we were talking about
Speaker 2: He was like, you know, we haven't seen this since
Speaker 2: Sean Lee. We haven't seen that kind of linebacker play.
Speaker 2: And so I really I'm excited about what Eric Kendrick's
Speaker 2: gonna bring in this defense.
Speaker 7: I'm excited too. He's looking so good. And another guy
Speaker 7: that's looking really, really good, and I mentioned him last show.
Speaker 7: I don't want to mention him again, but hey, his
Speaker 7: kid keeps putting in the lark and showing up is
Speaker 7: rookie Kaylyn Kaylen Killing Kaylyn Kayling Kaylen Carson. He's so
Speaker 7: freaking good. And it's impressive because when you see a
Speaker 7: rookie doing the things that he's doing, you can only
Speaker 7: imagine what the future holds for him and how quick
Speaker 7: he is. How what's more impressive to me is his
Speaker 7: awareness of everything where the ball is and where everything
Speaker 7: that he's doing on the field has been extremely impressive.
Speaker 7: I'm super excited. And he's a guy that just I
Speaker 7: knew nothing about and then all of a sudden, now
Speaker 7: I want to keep knowing more because he's that good.
Speaker 7: So he's been very, very solid.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that it's a really good observation for him.
Speaker 3: And with Nasehon Wright had a little trouble yesterday the
Speaker 3: ball went to the corner on a fade and you're
Speaker 3: like going, ah, got to make that play. I think
Speaker 3: with Carson there's a side of me that's kind of
Speaker 3: in that mode of just put him out there, you know,
Speaker 3: just put him out there. And you know, if you know,
Speaker 3: I understand what Naseean Wright is, just let me see
Speaker 3: what Carson is taking every rep opposite Bland and playing
Speaker 3: in the nickel with Jordan Lewis, So let me let
Speaker 3: me see that. Let me if he you know, he's
Speaker 3: going to get the opportunity to cover a lot of
Speaker 3: guys out here, and he has and he showed up
Speaker 3: yesterday in a way too, as you mentioned, like you know,
Speaker 3: they try and swing the ball to him on the
Speaker 3: outside or towards him, steps up makes the tackle. You know,
Speaker 3: next thing, you know, he gets the interception. You know
Speaker 3: those interceptions, Yeah, and those he just needs to keep playing.
Speaker 3: Just keep playing him and then when they get guiding back,
Speaker 3: just keep playing him and see what you have there.
Speaker 3: I I will say this though, I really like what
Speaker 3: I saw again from Jordan Lewis, and and I covering
Speaker 3: Cooper Cup is no fun. Yeah, hey, you want to
Speaker 3: you want to deal with one of the best wide
Speaker 3: one of the best wide receivers in the game, and
Speaker 3: it comes to playing multiple spots and having to deal
Speaker 3: with all that. Jordan Lewis did a nice job of
Speaker 3: chasing yesterday and and and being in position, uh to
Speaker 3: make some plays there. A couple of times Cup caught
Speaker 3: the ball. He's going to do that to a lot
Speaker 3: of people. But you didn't see Jordan Lewis completely out
Speaker 3: of position dealing with that. And that's a that's a
Speaker 3: real positive. He's he's had some really good practices out
Speaker 3: here and so I and I think you also have
Speaker 3: to give And people will say this too. I mentioned
Speaker 3: Mazzie Smith. The one on one stuff with Mazzie Smith
Speaker 3: was good yesterday, Yes, it was, you know, he and
Speaker 3: that's the thing that I think is the most frustrating
Speaker 3: to me is you see stuff like that and you're like,
Speaker 3: come on, you could do this, you could do this,
Speaker 3: you could do this, and and so hopefully they will
Speaker 3: show him the film from last night. He can build
Speaker 3: on that a little bit and we see a little
Speaker 3: bit more quickness and stuff off the ball. I think
Speaker 3: like there's times where he kind of just he gets
Speaker 3: he maybe gets a little tired, he gets a little
Speaker 3: war down, doesn't play with the same stance, doesn't look good,
Speaker 3: doesn't play as quick as he needs to be. Rogers
Speaker 3: is kind of like the other He's doing a good
Speaker 3: job of playing fast and trying to get up the field.
Speaker 3: But with Mazie, like I say, you see it, you
Speaker 3: see it out there, and that's what kind of can
Speaker 3: be a little frustrating at times that you know he
Speaker 3: could play like that, just needs to be more consistent
Speaker 3: doing it.
Speaker 5: To both of your points on Kayln Carson, you mentioned
Speaker 5: you want to see him if somebody goes down, and
Speaker 5: I'm right there with you, I think I want.
Speaker 3: To see him with the ones. Yeah, yeah, if they're
Speaker 3: not going to practice digs, but they're just kind of
Speaker 3: every I would flip the reps, I would say, Okay,
Speaker 3: Nashon Wright, you're taking Carson's reps, and Carson you're now
Speaker 3: taking Nasehon Wright's reps.
Speaker 6: And I'll take it a stuff further into the season.
Speaker 5: If there's an opportunity for a different corner to come
Speaker 5: onto the field, whether that's Digg's Bland or Jordan Lewis
Speaker 5: needing to come out, whether it be for injury or
Speaker 5: just rotational work. If Caitlin Carson's not that first guy
Speaker 5: on the field, whether it's inside or outside, I think
Speaker 5: that's a mistake. He's see before on this roster, and
Speaker 5: I think they will come to that conclusion because I
Speaker 5: mean you call his name every single day and it's
Speaker 5: you're right, Ambar.
Speaker 6: I mean he does something every day that you look
Speaker 6: at and you're.
Speaker 5: Like, Okay, that's a guy, and he's see before on
Speaker 5: this roster, and I think if he's the first guy
Speaker 5: that rotates in, then that's that's gonna be an overwhelming
Speaker 5: positive to keep that defense flowing in case they need
Speaker 5: somebody to step up.
Speaker 3: Can't throw it overshown too. They tried to throw, They
Speaker 3: tried to run the wheel with Williams. The really talented
Speaker 3: running back that they had with the Rams. They tried
Speaker 3: to throw him on a wheel and Overshown from the
Speaker 3: inside was able to carry into the point where Stafford
Speaker 3: was going to throw it, and he pulled it back
Speaker 3: because he saw thirteen in the picture and then had
Speaker 3: to go to another spot. So there's some good plays
Speaker 3: out here from Overshown. You always we talk about him.
Speaker 3: He's just such a he's such a complete player, and
Speaker 3: he's just trying to kind of work his way back
Speaker 3: in after this injury.
Speaker 2: Positive sign for the Cowboys that young guys are showing up.
Speaker 2: A lot of young they are, and because that's what
Speaker 2: they're really gonna they're gonna need the next couple of years.
Speaker 7: They took a bed on relying on the younger talent,
Speaker 7: and we'll see.
Speaker 2: We'll shout out to Will McClay and his staff. They
Speaker 2: know they do a good job of bringing in great
Speaker 2: young talent. All right, Uh, real quick, before we get
Speaker 2: in the show, I got to say hello to my wife.
Speaker 2: She's listening, and she was like, does that mean does
Speaker 2: that mean that you missed your wife?
Speaker 3: I was like, absolutely, I miss my wife.
