1
00:00:06,440 --> 00:00:08,960
Speaker 1: The following. He's a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com

2
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:19,919
Speaker 1: and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club. This he's Talking Cowboys,

3
00:00:20,360 --> 00:00:23,759
Speaker 1: screaming live from the Dallas Cowboys World headquarters at the

4
00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:39,240
Speaker 1: Star in Frisco. Says, Welcome into Talking Cowboys live from

5
00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:42,640
Speaker 1: the Star in Frisco. Rob Phillips and myself are here

6
00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:47,639
Speaker 1: for Cowboys Training Camp twenty twenty, presented by American Airlines.

7
00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:49,920
Speaker 1: And then we're welcomed him by two who have played

8
00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:52,880
Speaker 1: the game at the highest level. Our normal crew of HECKM.

9
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:56,680
Speaker 1: Harrison and Isaiah stand back, our residence super Bowl champion.

10
00:00:56,760 --> 00:00:59,640
Speaker 1: We are the Talking Cowboys crew as we get you

11
00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:03,320
Speaker 1: set for an hour worth of Dallas Cowboys coverage over

12
00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:06,600
Speaker 1: training camp here in twenty twenty, and really what is

13
00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:11,000
Speaker 1: probably one of the more storyline filled weeks of Cowboys

14
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:15,200
Speaker 1: offseason into preseason so far. We've got live game action,

15
00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:20,119
Speaker 1: actual hitting, Rob today's practice, and then of course Earl

16
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:22,720
Speaker 1: Thomas news to talk about as he is now a

17
00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:25,400
Speaker 1: free agent. We'll get to all of that coming up

18
00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:28,080
Speaker 1: in the next hour, but Rob I mentioned the live

19
00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:31,560
Speaker 1: practice and exactly what's been going on here at the

20
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:34,279
Speaker 1: Star as of wait, was there anything that really stood

21
00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:36,600
Speaker 1: out to you today before we get into some of

22
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:40,240
Speaker 1: the Earl Thomas talk. Well, I didn't get to see

23
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:42,560
Speaker 1: a whole lot because of the Earl Thomas talk. I

24
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:45,360
Speaker 1: was socially distanced in the hallway trying to listen to

25
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:47,920
Speaker 1: Jerry Jones on the fan and figure out what the

26
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:51,200
Speaker 1: Cowboys want to do with ET. But you're right, they're

27
00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:53,640
Speaker 1: starting to ramp up a little bit, and I believe

28
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:56,760
Speaker 1: they're just now getting through their installation period, which you

29
00:01:56,800 --> 00:02:00,640
Speaker 1: think about how compressed this camp is. You normally installation

30
00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:04,559
Speaker 1: offense defense in the spring, so they're trying to do that. Now,

31
00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:07,120
Speaker 1: review it the next couple of days, and then we've

32
00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:10,520
Speaker 1: got what looks like a scrimmage on Sunday at at

33
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:12,600
Speaker 1: and T Stadium, and then we'll start to see more

34
00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:14,840
Speaker 1: of the live stuff and really see these guys compete.

35
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:18,040
Speaker 1: It's getting excited. It is getting exciting, and you're starting

36
00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:20,200
Speaker 1: to see some of the hits. I know previously on

37
00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:23,600
Speaker 1: some Talking Cowboys Isaiah and Heckman, both of you mentioned

38
00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:26,840
Speaker 1: how important it was for Layton Vandersch to get that

39
00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:29,560
Speaker 1: first hit after his neck injury. Well he got it

40
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:34,919
Speaker 1: to and flatten Tony Pollard on a run he wasn't

41
00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:40,000
Speaker 1: supposed to be a See what it was is he

42
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 1: laid the hammer on Tony Pollard. But let's go into

43
00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:45,440
Speaker 1: some of this Earl Thomas news. We'll get to plenty

44
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:48,680
Speaker 1: of practice later on here in the show. But Isaiah,

45
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:50,640
Speaker 1: this is a former teammate of years who's kind of

46
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:53,320
Speaker 1: going through some times in his career where it's a

47
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:56,000
Speaker 1: really a turning point. Of course, he was in Seattle

48
00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:57,920
Speaker 1: for the majority of the start of his career. That's

49
00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:01,280
Speaker 1: where YouTube played together. He was then traded over to

50
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:05,839
Speaker 1: Baltimore for what was a huge deal where he ended

51
00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:08,680
Speaker 1: up signing with the Ravens and playing only a year

52
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:12,919
Speaker 1: there before he was cut earlier this week. The biggest

53
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:15,359
Speaker 1: question mark now is where does he go from here?

54
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:19,320
Speaker 1: Is he somebody that Cowboys could potentially go after? But

55
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:22,600
Speaker 1: I want to hear first count of somebody who's played

56
00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:30,200
Speaker 1: with you want on your football team. Absolutely. Earl Thomas

57
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:33,520
Speaker 1: and myself we played together his rookie year, him and

58
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:35,760
Speaker 1: Camp Chances actually back when the legion boom was was

59
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:38,880
Speaker 1: nice and it was fire back home in Seattle. But

60
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:40,440
Speaker 1: I played with him my rookie year, and I can

61
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:43,160
Speaker 1: tell you guys firsthand, this is one of the most competitive,

62
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:47,640
Speaker 1: hard working, loyal, dedicated individuals that you guys could ever

63
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:50,920
Speaker 1: hope for to be on your team. Over over his

64
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:53,160
Speaker 1: past few years, he's went through a lot, right, And

65
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:55,800
Speaker 1: I don't make excuses for anybody, but you take somebody,

66
00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:57,960
Speaker 1: you think about the characteristic of somebody like that, who

67
00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:02,200
Speaker 1: works hard, who gets everything to organization, who puts it

68
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:04,040
Speaker 1: all out there in terms of, you know, being great

69
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:06,400
Speaker 1: teammates and a loyal and then all of a sudden

70
00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:08,320
Speaker 1: for Seattle to kind of do them the way that

71
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:10,600
Speaker 1: he did them, he was hurt, right, So you saw

72
00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:12,280
Speaker 1: a kind of his exit after he got hurt. Right,

73
00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 1: he was mad the whole middle finger thing he was.

74
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:16,440
Speaker 1: He was he was deeply hurt because he had he

75
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:18,920
Speaker 1: was fully committed to that organization and he didn't feel

76
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:22,120
Speaker 1: like they were committed to him. So that he leaves there, right, Um,

77
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:24,840
Speaker 1: he goes to a whole new team. He goes out there,

78
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:27,719
Speaker 1: he does what Earl does, right, he balls out. But

79
00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:31,200
Speaker 1: then he has some issues obviously off the field, and

80
00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:33,719
Speaker 1: then in terms of his latest thing, it sounds like

81
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:36,360
Speaker 1: it was almost an excuse just to get rid of them.

82
00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:37,680
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna be rid with you. It sounds like

83
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:39,320
Speaker 1: it was almost an excuse just to get rid of them.

84
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:41,880
Speaker 1: We all don't know what was going on internally within

85
00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:44,960
Speaker 1: that organization, but I can tell you, guys what this

86
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:48,240
Speaker 1: It sounds like the Gallboys have a great opportunity to

87
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:50,320
Speaker 1: get one of the greatest players in the league for

88
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:53,440
Speaker 1: a discount. Double check. You heard it here, first discount,

89
00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:56,279
Speaker 1: double check. Earl's gonna bring the fire. I can tell you, guys,

90
00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:58,120
Speaker 1: he's working his tail off at home. I bet you

91
00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:00,400
Speaker 1: he probably goes on the toilet with a him. That's

92
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:04,440
Speaker 1: how serious this dude is. I been playing ball. That's

93
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:06,920
Speaker 1: the line of the day. Nobody can shop that one. No,

94
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:09,120
Speaker 1: we might as want to just go ahead and cut

95
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:10,760
Speaker 1: it out. We might as well just end the show

96
00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:15,919
Speaker 1: because nothing can top with Isaiah just said. But I

97
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:18,240
Speaker 1: kind of want to take something that Isaiah just said.

98
00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:21,159
Speaker 1: He's one of the greatest defensive players in the league

99
00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:23,680
Speaker 1: right now. Is that still true? Is this still the

100
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:27,960
Speaker 1: same player that we were, at least as Cowboys fans

101
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:30,839
Speaker 1: were looking at last year as a guy who is

102
00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:35,280
Speaker 1: an instant game changer on the defensive side of the football. Man,

103
00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:37,080
Speaker 1: I'm gonna start off what I have to say with

104
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:41,320
Speaker 1: saying et phone home, we need you. It's not even

105
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:44,039
Speaker 1: the question of what Earl Thomas brings to this team.

106
00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:47,040
Speaker 1: If you just go if you've ever been in a

107
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:50,200
Speaker 1: meeting room and you're looking at the depth chart and

108
00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:53,520
Speaker 1: you have guys lined up, a seventy percent of Earl

109
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:56,320
Speaker 1: Thomas gives you more than what you have right now.

110
00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:58,920
Speaker 1: And that's not a disc to these other guys. You're

111
00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:03,120
Speaker 1: looking at the NFL All decade, an NFL All decade guy,

112
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:06,279
Speaker 1: guy that has thirty interceptions. What he's gonna bring to

113
00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:09,960
Speaker 1: the Cowboys, please bring to the Cowboys. It's gonna be

114
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:14,280
Speaker 1: a guy that we've heard. This word hybrid, interchangeable is

115
00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:16,919
Speaker 1: another word that we're gonna add to the words of

116
00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:19,320
Speaker 1: twenty twenty. He gives you all of that. You can

117
00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:21,920
Speaker 1: play him anywhere. If you think about what we had

118
00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:24,040
Speaker 1: with Chris Rashard last year, and that's why it made

119
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:27,240
Speaker 1: it so attractive, because we played Cover three the majority

120
00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:31,479
Speaker 1: of the time. But look, most NFL teams, they show

121
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:34,640
Speaker 1: you Cover two and they play Cover three. That's what

122
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:37,040
Speaker 1: they want to do anyway. And this is a guy

123
00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:39,479
Speaker 1: that you can disguise all of your looks. And I

124
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:43,400
Speaker 1: have to say this as well, if you sign Earl Thomas,

125
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:46,799
Speaker 1: what that's gonna do is nullify the injury to Gerald

126
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:49,080
Speaker 1: McCoy because of all the things that you can do

127
00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:51,640
Speaker 1: on the back half of your defense. That is just

128
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:53,880
Speaker 1: something that we have to look at as a team

129
00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:58,080
Speaker 1: because he's gonna make us that much better. Rob, do

130
00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:02,440
Speaker 1: you agree while Isaiah said about being a great teammate,

131
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:04,920
Speaker 1: that's really good to hear because I think the biggest

132
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:07,960
Speaker 1: question people were asking, maybe the Cowboys were asking too,

133
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:11,000
Speaker 1: is is how the locker room would fit with Earl

134
00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:14,000
Speaker 1: coming in because of what happened in Baltimore and because

135
00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:17,160
Speaker 1: the reports are the players decided, players were part of

136
00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:20,360
Speaker 1: that discussion that you know he needed to move on.

137
00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:23,200
Speaker 1: So you know, but we've got to play a former

138
00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:25,040
Speaker 1: player right here that says he's a great team I

139
00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:28,080
Speaker 1: think that's important to factor in. And you know, the

140
00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:30,920
Speaker 1: Cowboys have done their homework on Earl Thomas before. I mean,

141
00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:33,160
Speaker 1: he was a free agent a year ago. There was

142
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:36,679
Speaker 1: a trade speculation before that. Chris Rochard has heck mentioned

143
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:38,280
Speaker 1: been here for two years. They have an idea of

144
00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:40,320
Speaker 1: what kind of player and what kind of person is.

145
00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:41,800
Speaker 1: We all know what kind of player he is for

146
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:45,080
Speaker 1: sure on the field, and I you know what Jerry

147
00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:48,800
Speaker 1: said on the fan not closing the door. It leads

148
00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:51,520
Speaker 1: me to believe there's still some discussion going on internally

149
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:53,960
Speaker 1: on what kind of fit would be on the field

150
00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:56,040
Speaker 1: off the field. And the other thing about it, too

151
00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:58,280
Speaker 1: is what I don't think it makes a good business

152
00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:01,320
Speaker 1: sense to come out and say on on on public radio,

153
00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:04,800
Speaker 1: Hey we're not interested in somebody. You always keep your

154
00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:07,560
Speaker 1: options open. They're in the middle of padded practices at

155
00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:11,040
Speaker 1: training camp. Even if you're maybe leading in the other direction,

156
00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:14,720
Speaker 1: Guys can get hurt, things can happen, and your your

157
00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:17,440
Speaker 1: needs can definitely change on a dime. So I think

158
00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:19,600
Speaker 1: we just all have to stay tuned on this one

159
00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:22,600
Speaker 1: and Rob before Kyle comes in. I know he's about

160
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:25,200
Speaker 1: to come in on us, but I want to just

161
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:28,040
Speaker 1: ask this question as if we were all playing GM.

162
00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:30,760
Speaker 1: Let's all play GM, all right, if you have some

163
00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:32,800
Speaker 1: If you have money, first of all, which we now

164
00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:34,880
Speaker 1: have right because McCoy's gone, right and we had the

165
00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:37,400
Speaker 1: injury waiver, so there's money there, and you have one

166
00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:39,559
Speaker 1: of the best players, not even it's not even a

167
00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:43,400
Speaker 1: question in the league, right, and you have him available

168
00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:46,600
Speaker 1: at a position that you're trying to fit somebody into.

169
00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:51,000
Speaker 1: Why would you not take this opportunity when he's only

170
00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:54,360
Speaker 1: had one stop where he had an issue with somebody,

171
00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:57,320
Speaker 1: and that's obviously with the Ravens, right right right, Why

172
00:08:57,320 --> 00:09:02,400
Speaker 1: would you not You're a go ahead. Heck, it's not

173
00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:05,960
Speaker 1: even a question. It's not. Don't I really don't. I

174
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:09,640
Speaker 1: don't understand where people are coming from when they say that, oh,

175
00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:12,200
Speaker 1: this guy had he's a problem in your locker room.

176
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:14,480
Speaker 1: Maybe he was a problem for the Ravens. I don't

177
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:16,520
Speaker 1: know what their culture is like. And I know I

178
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:20,000
Speaker 1: respect the heck out of Ozzie Smith, Ozzie all of

179
00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:22,440
Speaker 1: those guys and knew some excuse me, Obsie knew him

180
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:25,360
Speaker 1: in Baltimore. I think he's one of the greatest of

181
00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:29,640
Speaker 1: his time. But you have to understand that sometimes when

182
00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:32,240
Speaker 1: a guy wants out of a situation, he may do

183
00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:34,880
Speaker 1: everything in his power to try and get out of

184
00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:37,679
Speaker 1: that situation. Hey, I've been in some bad relationships where

185
00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:39,040
Speaker 1: I've done a lot of things to get out, and

186
00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:41,960
Speaker 1: I'll make it your idea. And the Baltimore Ravens just

187
00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:44,600
Speaker 1: made Hey, we gotta get rid of you. We have

188
00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:47,000
Speaker 1: to get you out of town. And it doesn't look

189
00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:50,600
Speaker 1: good as far as the esthetics of it to hear

190
00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:53,680
Speaker 1: the leadership counsel when to management to say that we

191
00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:55,680
Speaker 1: have to get rid of this guy because he's toxic

192
00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:57,880
Speaker 1: in the locker room. But I'm not gonna use that

193
00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:01,200
Speaker 1: as an indictment. On a ten. You're a veteran who

194
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:05,719
Speaker 1: has played at the highest level his entire career, and

195
00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:08,480
Speaker 1: then you and then you factor in the fact that

196
00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:10,680
Speaker 1: you you have a team right now that is still

197
00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:15,600
Speaker 1: a relatively young team and he has thirteen playoff games

198
00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:19,400
Speaker 1: under his belt. That's that's a that's ten more than

199
00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:22,760
Speaker 1: Dak and that's eight more or six more than Haha has.

200
00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:25,360
Speaker 1: And this is a veteran guy that tells you the

201
00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:28,199
Speaker 1: kind of experience that he has, it's going to help

202
00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:31,600
Speaker 1: you later in the system and deep into that playoff run.

203
00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:33,800
Speaker 1: I claim in it, and I'm telling you he's the

204
00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:36,120
Speaker 1: guy for it. And how many Super Bowl rings do

205
00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:38,480
Speaker 1: we have on that side of the ball. Oh my god,

206
00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:43,880
Speaker 1: not a zero. We don't have nothing on that kind

207
00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:47,280
Speaker 1: of the ball. I'm just gonna have everboded any value there.

208
00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:51,760
Speaker 1: I just just wondering. Zero. One of the biggest things

209
00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:54,560
Speaker 1: to me whenever it comes to the Earl Thomas signing

210
00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:57,120
Speaker 1: is whether or not he fits football wise? Does he

211
00:10:57,160 --> 00:10:59,120
Speaker 1: really fit what the Cowboys want to do. I know,

212
00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:02,880
Speaker 1: understandingly we're getting it from a former teammate. He's saying

213
00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:05,000
Speaker 1: that he is good in the locker room. But just

214
00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:07,440
Speaker 1: like Jerry said in his interview with one h five

215
00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:10,760
Speaker 1: point three the Fan today, was this is something that

216
00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:13,640
Speaker 1: it has to go with what we're doing. It has

217
00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:17,320
Speaker 1: to go with exactly what we have at safety. That's

218
00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:19,880
Speaker 1: what it has to go with it. Because but Mike

219
00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:22,959
Speaker 1: McCarthy kind of answered that question indirectly when he said

220
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:26,160
Speaker 1: the other day that the safeties are interchangeable. So if

221
00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:28,280
Speaker 1: that's the case, he can play anywhere. And I think

222
00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:30,920
Speaker 1: we know he can play anywhere anyway. You guys make

223
00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:33,680
Speaker 1: a compelling case. I mean, I'm just saying what the

224
00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:35,760
Speaker 1: reports are out of Baltimore. I don't know Earl Thomas

225
00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:37,680
Speaker 1: at all. I'm just saying that's what's out there. But

226
00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:42,199
Speaker 1: you know, from a perspective of what this defense needs,

227
00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:45,079
Speaker 1: they need takeaways, he can do that. He's got thirty

228
00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:48,120
Speaker 1: career interceptions. The other thing is too that jumped out

229
00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:50,240
Speaker 1: and in and Jerry didn't speak to this, but Jerry's

230
00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:53,960
Speaker 1: got a long memory. Right ninety two, they needed one

231
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:57,520
Speaker 1: more piece to win the Super Bowl, and it was

232
00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:00,959
Speaker 1: it was Charles Haley. It was one missing piece. And

233
00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:04,319
Speaker 1: the Cowboys are built. They have built this team to win. Now,

234
00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:06,600
Speaker 1: you do not hire Mike McCarthy if you don't think

235
00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:08,960
Speaker 1: you're close. You would hire a younger coach and try

236
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:11,319
Speaker 1: to rebuild. So I wonder how much is that is

237
00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:14,040
Speaker 1: the thinking, like, are we really just one piece away

238
00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:19,120
Speaker 1: defensively from from getting this thing done? Right? Right? Hey,

239
00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:21,640
Speaker 1: let me ask you this qua this question. If you're

240
00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:24,480
Speaker 1: coming off of the domessy violence stuff that Earl has, right,

241
00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:27,320
Speaker 1: there's no question going back into a locker room setting

242
00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:29,840
Speaker 1: understanding what you just came off of, you're going to

243
00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:33,040
Speaker 1: get clowned. You're gonna get clowned. Right, we all know

244
00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:34,360
Speaker 1: the situation. We don't have to dive into it. You're

245
00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:36,320
Speaker 1: gonna people are gonna talk about it, laughing about you.

246
00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:38,880
Speaker 1: Every little joke's gonna be about you. When you're in practice,

247
00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:41,200
Speaker 1: You're gonna it's gonna get heated. And let me let

248
00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:43,040
Speaker 1: me just in case people don't know, there is a

249
00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:47,880
Speaker 1: fight every single day in training camp, at every training camp.

250
00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:49,680
Speaker 1: You guys don't hear about it. If you guys don't

251
00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:51,920
Speaker 1: see it, but somebody's getting their haid and taking off

252
00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:55,720
Speaker 1: and somebody's getting punched every day. Okay, So if that happens,

253
00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:57,560
Speaker 1: So that's what I said, it's kind of a scapego.

254
00:12:57,640 --> 00:12:59,280
Speaker 1: So I don't know what's going on in the locker room.

255
00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:03,040
Speaker 1: But what I do know is Earl Thomas. As we

256
00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:05,520
Speaker 1: look at our secondary that we have right now, he

257
00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:08,400
Speaker 1: would be the only name that you would need to

258
00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:10,320
Speaker 1: know every time you come to the secondary. You need

259
00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:12,160
Speaker 1: to know where he's out on the field. As we

260
00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:15,000
Speaker 1: stand right now, there's nobody that's that threatening in the

261
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:17,800
Speaker 1: secondary now. You have to know where they're at as

262
00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:20,520
Speaker 1: a defensive I mean, as an offensive players, as a quarterback,

263
00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:22,120
Speaker 1: when you sat up to the line of scrimmage, you

264
00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:24,200
Speaker 1: better identify where the hit Earl Thomas is at. And

265
00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:27,080
Speaker 1: that's where he provides to his team. And the other

266
00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:30,040
Speaker 1: part about what Earl Thomas provides if you look at yourself,

267
00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:32,520
Speaker 1: if you look at your rookie Diggs, and let's just

268
00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:36,240
Speaker 1: say the Cowboys coaching staff that saying when loser draw,

269
00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:39,680
Speaker 1: he's going to be our first day guy, Earl Thomas

270
00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:43,440
Speaker 1: behind Diggs. Oh my god. It gives that rookie just

271
00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:46,640
Speaker 1: the opportunity to trust his eyes on everything that's in

272
00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:49,600
Speaker 1: front of him because Earl Thomas would have his whole back.

273
00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:54,400
Speaker 1: This is a situation where if you bring Earl Thomas

274
00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:57,679
Speaker 1: the air that that puts you in in the NFL,

275
00:13:57,800 --> 00:14:01,720
Speaker 1: I mean the San Francisco forty nine ers, the other

276
00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:05,880
Speaker 1: other like the Tampa Bay defenses, Dallas would be right

277
00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:10,120
Speaker 1: there as far as championship level defenses. On paper, all

278
00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:12,960
Speaker 1: I'm saying is that it to me, it sounds like

279
00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:15,520
Speaker 1: the Cowboys are in a win win situation with a

280
00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:19,280
Speaker 1: guy who's already gonna get ten million dollars from another

281
00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:22,280
Speaker 1: team of as far as their cap it, and so

282
00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:25,000
Speaker 1: his bank account is on Charlie West. You gotta sign him.

283
00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:29,480
Speaker 1: That's that's he's gonna happen. You do bring up the

284
00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:32,600
Speaker 1: financial component of it, though, and we don't know, you know,

285
00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:35,360
Speaker 1: how much money the Ravens are gonna get from him

286
00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:37,960
Speaker 1: based on you know, there's gonna be a grievance probably

287
00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:40,080
Speaker 1: and they're gonna try to say it was violation of

288
00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:42,840
Speaker 1: team rules or whatever and try so it may change

289
00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:45,720
Speaker 1: what he wants from a team. However, I will say this,

290
00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:48,520
Speaker 1: if this is the place he's always wanted to be

291
00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:51,880
Speaker 1: running up to Jason Garrett said, come get me, he's

292
00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:53,800
Speaker 1: you know, if he comes here, then he's gonna do

293
00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:56,640
Speaker 1: what I would imagine, whatever he needs to do to

294
00:14:56,840 --> 00:15:00,320
Speaker 1: be fit in. So discount a check. I to tell

295
00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:03,920
Speaker 1: you when Earl's happy, right, Earl was a leader of that.

296
00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:05,560
Speaker 1: When you guys talk about the legion of Boom, who

297
00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:08,000
Speaker 1: do you think head at that up? We hear, we

298
00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:10,560
Speaker 1: hear about Richard Sherman all the time. But seeing this internally,

299
00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:14,560
Speaker 1: if these guys were Kim Cam Chancellor, Richard Sherman, right Brown,

300
00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:16,400
Speaker 1: or all those guys, Earl would be the one that

301
00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:18,520
Speaker 1: would call those guys together and say, hey, we're going

302
00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:20,440
Speaker 1: here to work out. Earl would be the one that say, hey,

303
00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:22,280
Speaker 1: come over and let's we'll watch the film in my house.

304
00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:24,840
Speaker 1: That was Earl. So that's why you saw him so

305
00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:27,400
Speaker 1: angry when he left Seattle and how he left, because

306
00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:30,320
Speaker 1: he did he did that. He was the founding father

307
00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:33,760
Speaker 1: of that of the legion of boom. So I'm just

308
00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:36,960
Speaker 1: saying it right here. If they miss on this, they

309
00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:40,800
Speaker 1: will regretted. They will regret it because that is the

310
00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:43,240
Speaker 1: only missing piece. They have a great defensive line, they

311
00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:46,120
Speaker 1: have a great linebacker corps. They need somebody who's an

312
00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:48,160
Speaker 1: absolute dog in the secondary. And that's why we talk

313
00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:50,000
Speaker 1: about it so much, because we don't have a dog

314
00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:54,920
Speaker 1: in the secondary. Whether it was Jabal Adams or now

315
00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:57,800
Speaker 1: Earl Thomas, it's it's been a topic of conversation. But Isaiah,

316
00:15:57,800 --> 00:15:59,840
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you right now, I'm not sold yet.

317
00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:03,760
Speaker 1: I'm not Honora Old Thomas on the acquisition. I want

318
00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:06,800
Speaker 1: to know. I want to have more information. I do,

319
00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:08,920
Speaker 1: I really do. I want to know exactly what went

320
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:13,840
Speaker 1: on in Baltimore to the point where it's not worth

321
00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:16,000
Speaker 1: the risk anymore to me, because you've got the momentum

322
00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:18,880
Speaker 1: right now, even though the secondary, of course, you brought

323
00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:20,760
Speaker 1: in a guy. You brought in a veteran and haha,

324
00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:22,720
Speaker 1: Clinton Dick. So we're gonna talk about him at coming

325
00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:25,480
Speaker 1: up here in this next segment. But seemingly there's some

326
00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:30,320
Speaker 1: discontent there already. Would it just explode that discontent? That's

327
00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:32,640
Speaker 1: my question. Would that be something that could be a

328
00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:36,600
Speaker 1: trouble some move later on if you bring an explosive

329
00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:42,600
Speaker 1: guy like Earl Thomas, Hey, hey Kyle, let me let me,

330
00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:44,840
Speaker 1: let me, let me do this. There's there's been there's

331
00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:46,800
Speaker 1: been a there's been a lot of attention on Haha

332
00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:50,200
Speaker 1: Clinton Dix. He's a good pick up, no differencepec. He's

333
00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:53,360
Speaker 1: a good player. He's a good player. We're talking about

334
00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:56,880
Speaker 1: great player, right, So we're asking a good player in

335
00:16:56,960 --> 00:17:00,200
Speaker 1: Haha Clinton Dix to take the throne of being rate

336
00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:02,360
Speaker 1: and to be this magnificent leader all of a sudden

337
00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:05,000
Speaker 1: of all these young guys that are he surrounded around. Now,

338
00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:09,440
Speaker 1: you take somebody like Earl who's already done this before, right,

339
00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:12,000
Speaker 1: name another secondary has been called legion of boom or

340
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:14,880
Speaker 1: anything of that in that category right when he helped

341
00:17:15,080 --> 00:17:17,639
Speaker 1: heat created that. So you take somebody who was taking

342
00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:20,240
Speaker 1: leadership in that regard before and brought a whole youth,

343
00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:23,040
Speaker 1: a whole young group together before and made them super

344
00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:25,679
Speaker 1: duper effective within the system they're working in. Oh and

345
00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:28,000
Speaker 1: by the way, you give him already a veteran safety

346
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:33,119
Speaker 1: to play Alongsidely, what are we even talking about? Well,

347
00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:38,000
Speaker 1: I think Thomas can I Tommy wearing a yellow jacket

348
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:42,040
Speaker 1: one day, gold jacket exactly. Will Here's my question back

349
00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:52,679
Speaker 1: to you, Yeah, Hm to be worth the risk? What

350
00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:56,080
Speaker 1: makes him so special to get to that point because

351
00:17:56,320 --> 00:17:58,359
Speaker 1: I'm not sold. He's the same player that was the

352
00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:00,560
Speaker 1: legion of boom that was back he went to the

353
00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:02,560
Speaker 1: promo last year what are you doing last year? What

354
00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:06,320
Speaker 1: are you last? And we all agreed that that probably

355
00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:10,560
Speaker 1: wasn't that the best thing? Man? They're not handed out

356
00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:12,800
Speaker 1: free tickets to Hawaii. I know they're not going to

357
00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:17,080
Speaker 1: Hawaiki anywere is not just a they don't give those

358
00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:22,840
Speaker 1: guys no. If you disregard Earl Thomas's Pro Bowl and

359
00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:26,000
Speaker 1: you better disregard Jalen Thomas, I mean j j Jalen

360
00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:34,600
Speaker 1: Janna Smiths. That the window. That's That's how I appreciate Kyle.

361
00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:37,399
Speaker 1: Listen right now, right now on the defense, I can

362
00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:41,040
Speaker 1: tell you if Earl Thomas walked on this team right now,

363
00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:43,919
Speaker 1: how ready will go down? He would be the most

364
00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:48,280
Speaker 1: feared player on his defense right now, right now, most

365
00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:52,840
Speaker 1: feared over Tank, Lawrence Everson, Griffin, Layton vander esh Absolutely,

366
00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:54,159
Speaker 1: you know why I could you would chip on those

367
00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:56,639
Speaker 1: you could chip on those guys. I could put an

368
00:18:56,640 --> 00:18:58,000
Speaker 1: extra tight end right there, and I could chip on

369
00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:00,439
Speaker 1: those guys, and I can I could affect. I can,

370
00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:03,120
Speaker 1: I can have an effect over how how productive they are.

371
00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:06,359
Speaker 1: Earl's sitting back there looking at you running around. I

372
00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:09,000
Speaker 1: guarantee you Earl still runs a flour or four. Guarantee you,

373
00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:11,159
Speaker 1: at the very least he's running four to three. I

374
00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:12,879
Speaker 1: bet you if he fell off, he runs a four

375
00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:14,760
Speaker 1: or four now, and guess what He's going to run

376
00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:17,320
Speaker 1: around sideline the sideline and he's going to hit you

377
00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:20,200
Speaker 1: in your chess cavity without any regard of his body.

378
00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:23,680
Speaker 1: You need that, and you need that on your team.

379
00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:26,200
Speaker 1: We want that on our team because Earl Thomas is

380
00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:29,159
Speaker 1: a scud missile from the free safety position and you

381
00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:32,240
Speaker 1: don't have that. Right now, you were talking about comparing

382
00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:34,639
Speaker 1: apples to apples or ours however you want to put it.

383
00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:37,879
Speaker 1: Earl Thomas is not none of that. He is a

384
00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:41,200
Speaker 1: whole other category. And so if we say, oh, father time,

385
00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:44,360
Speaker 1: which is undefeated, has caught up with Earl Thomas and

386
00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:47,840
Speaker 1: he isn't what he was when he got started in

387
00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:52,600
Speaker 1: the NFL. Well, even at seventy percent, Kyle, He's better

388
00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:56,320
Speaker 1: than what we have and you cannot disregard that. Don't

389
00:19:56,359 --> 00:19:58,760
Speaker 1: talk yourself out of it. Don't let nobody trick us

390
00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:01,840
Speaker 1: out our spot right now. I made you all bored

391
00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:04,120
Speaker 1: with this coast side it dog, don't do it. Talk

392
00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:07,239
Speaker 1: to him. So if I if I hear this right,

393
00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:12,520
Speaker 1: Robin and Henck and obviously Kyle a rusty and washed

394
00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:14,879
Speaker 1: up earl Thomas can still make the Pro Bowl? Is

395
00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:17,399
Speaker 1: that what I'm hearing? He still made the Pro Bowl?

396
00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:20,959
Speaker 1: Still did and and he had and you know, PF

397
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:23,640
Speaker 1: and the metrics guys said he had a good year. Still,

398
00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:26,480
Speaker 1: how many how many safeties going? I know, Rob, I

399
00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:28,040
Speaker 1: know you know how many safeties go to the Pro Bowl?

400
00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:34,720
Speaker 1: Just a couple? Right, Yeah, it's not a lot. Yeah, okay,

401
00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:36,440
Speaker 1: I was just gonna let that one sit for a

402
00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:39,399
Speaker 1: little bit. Similar a little bit. I see exactly what

403
00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:41,280
Speaker 1: you guys are doing here. You're teaming up on me.

404
00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:46,480
Speaker 1: But I hear, how about no, No, you got to learn.

405
00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:55,800
Speaker 1: You got to learn, don't don't you do it take

406
00:20:55,920 --> 00:20:58,600
Speaker 1: for you to say yes? Number wise? And what would

407
00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:03,159
Speaker 1: be that that definitive for a comment? I have no idea.

408
00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:04,959
Speaker 1: I mean, I think Isaiah made a good point in

409
00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:07,840
Speaker 1: terms of they have space and I and look the

410
00:21:08,080 --> 00:21:12,160
Speaker 1: Tyrant Smith restructure. I think that was more of a coincidence.

411
00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:15,040
Speaker 1: It happened to be the same the same day. I

412
00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:18,200
Speaker 1: guess that he got cut from Baltimore, that they restructure

413
00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:20,879
Speaker 1: Tyrant Smith here, But that does create more space. I

414
00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:23,000
Speaker 1: think they are looking towards twenty twenty one and the

415
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:26,480
Speaker 1: potential of having to franchise dak possibly at thirty eight million,

416
00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:30,720
Speaker 1: but they do have cap space to do something. I look,

417
00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:34,240
Speaker 1: I mean these guys, Isaiah has swayed me. I think

418
00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:36,960
Speaker 1: I feel like in terms of what he can bring

419
00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:38,600
Speaker 1: on the field and the other thing. If you just

420
00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:40,800
Speaker 1: look at this big picture and we'll see what happens here.

421
00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:43,639
Speaker 1: Obviously they have not reached out to him yet. But

422
00:21:43,800 --> 00:21:47,200
Speaker 1: Everson Griffin was just sitting out there, Seedee Lamb was

423
00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:50,879
Speaker 1: just sitting there at seventeen in April. It's like the

424
00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:54,040
Speaker 1: stars are just aligned for the bastliest man. It's crazy.

425
00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:57,640
Speaker 1: It's crazy. And Stephen even said in an interview last

426
00:21:57,640 --> 00:22:01,479
Speaker 1: week where he was referred to the Everson Griffin signing,

427
00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:04,760
Speaker 1: and he said, we look at player acquisition to be

428
00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:07,800
Speaker 1: three hundred and sixty five days a year. However, we

429
00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:10,560
Speaker 1: didn't talk about Everson Griffin until after it was done.

430
00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:13,240
Speaker 1: There was no lead up. There was really no look

431
00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:16,919
Speaker 1: into Everson Griffin. Sure Cowboys fans wanted him, but you

432
00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:19,040
Speaker 1: didn't hear You didn't see the smoke where the fire

433
00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:21,520
Speaker 1: was coming from. You didn't hear that from Cowboys camp

434
00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:24,520
Speaker 1: until it was done. So the fact that they're laying

435
00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:26,720
Speaker 1: low and the fact that Jerry says, hey, the door's

436
00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:29,080
Speaker 1: not closed on Earl Thomas yet, it doesn't mean it's happening,

437
00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:31,840
Speaker 1: but it doesn't mean it won't happen at the same time,

438
00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:33,720
Speaker 1: And just a reminder for all of you out there,

439
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:37,159
Speaker 1: safeties at least or across the board average in the

440
00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:40,320
Speaker 1: NFL make the second least about the money in their contracts,

441
00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:42,960
Speaker 1: only trailing tight ends. And that may even change because

442
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:45,680
Speaker 1: you see the contracts of Travis Kelsey, George Kittle in

443
00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:49,840
Speaker 1: a couple more to come. So safeties ultimately could be

444
00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:52,199
Speaker 1: pretty cheap on the open market, and whenever you have

445
00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:55,440
Speaker 1: a guy like Earl Thomas there may end up potentially

446
00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:59,280
Speaker 1: being that enticing for the Cowboys to make a signing.

447
00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:01,879
Speaker 1: But we come back we'll talk more about this safety

448
00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:05,159
Speaker 1: group because did haha Clinton Dix lose his starting spot

449
00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:08,359
Speaker 1: even without the signing of Earl Thomas. We'll talk about

450
00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:11,720
Speaker 1: that and debate it next here on Talking Cowboys. Since

Speaker 1: in Cowboys? Oh okay, it looks like it looks like

484
00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:33,959
Speaker 1: we have lost Kyle and we're gonna trying to get

485
00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:37,800
Speaker 1: We're gonna get through this guy's because Kyle Yeoman's is

486
00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:40,879
Speaker 1: in the studio and he's supposed to have the best

487
00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:43,480
Speaker 1: WiFi in the world, but he is the one guy

488
00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:46,439
Speaker 1: that cannot find the connection. What guys in this segment,

489
00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:49,879
Speaker 1: we had talked about doing a stock up and stopped

490
00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:52,600
Speaker 1: down and we started this what do you think, Rob,

491
00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:55,680
Speaker 1: maybe ten or so episodes ago where we were saying,

492
00:25:56,280 --> 00:25:58,359
Speaker 1: whose guys, what guys stopped would be up at this

493
00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:01,679
Speaker 1: point or down at this point? Up and so a

494
00:26:01,720 --> 00:26:03,280
Speaker 1: couple of the names and one of the names are

495
00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:06,960
Speaker 1: gonna we're gonna throw out is stock up stock down

496
00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:11,680
Speaker 1: on Haha, Clinton Dixon, Rob, I'll start with you, Well,

497
00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:13,680
Speaker 1: if Earl Thomas is on his way to town at

498
00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:17,800
Speaker 1: some point, definitely down right and that now, and there's

499
00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:20,760
Speaker 1: obviously there's restrictions of what we can say about practice obviously,

500
00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:23,240
Speaker 1: Darry and Thompson though, is off to a really good

501
00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:25,840
Speaker 1: start in training camp and he's part of that rotation.

502
00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:28,840
Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy was very complimentary of what he's been able

503
00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:32,080
Speaker 1: to do. And really that Thompson that goes back to

504
00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:35,239
Speaker 1: when Jason Garrett was head coached. He told us, you know,

505
00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:39,440
Speaker 1: he's a really sharp safety in terms of getting guys

506
00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:44,119
Speaker 1: lined up and making sound decisions back there. I'm surprised

507
00:26:44,160 --> 00:26:46,400
Speaker 1: about Hah a little bit early just because of his

508
00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:50,000
Speaker 1: history with McCarthy, But so yeah, I would say down

509
00:26:50,040 --> 00:26:52,479
Speaker 1: a little bit right now, just because the Cowboys are

510
00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:55,480
Speaker 1: at least exploring options at the safety position, and I

511
00:26:55,520 --> 00:27:01,520
Speaker 1: think Xavier Woods a spot at free safety secure. Yeah,

512
00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:03,800
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go ahead and say stock down a little

513
00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:05,879
Speaker 1: bit as well. Um, for a couple of reasons. The

514
00:27:06,240 --> 00:27:09,560
Speaker 1: fact that you're you're hearing in some of these younger guys, um,

515
00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:11,320
Speaker 1: you know, kind of get in the rotation. But at

516
00:27:11,320 --> 00:27:13,880
Speaker 1: the same time, he's a vet, right, and you want

517
00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:16,119
Speaker 1: to always take care of your vets, um you and

518
00:27:16,160 --> 00:27:17,720
Speaker 1: you know physically, so you want to make sure that

519
00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:19,959
Speaker 1: they take some reps off, especially with they're not being

520
00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:22,840
Speaker 1: any preseason games, to go out there um and kind

521
00:27:22,840 --> 00:27:24,840
Speaker 1: of get get a sense of what's going on. So

522
00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:26,200
Speaker 1: you kind of want to give those guys a breather.

523
00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:28,080
Speaker 1: So I don't want to put too much weight on

524
00:27:28,119 --> 00:27:31,160
Speaker 1: what's going on in terms of the rotation at practice.

525
00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:33,239
Speaker 1: If Earl does show up, I don't see that as

526
00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:36,040
Speaker 1: too much of a stock down either, Rob. I do

527
00:27:36,119 --> 00:27:39,320
Speaker 1: see that more of as a complimentary position there. I

528
00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:41,679
Speaker 1: think you. I think you automatically have two veterans in

529
00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:43,919
Speaker 1: there that would that would play really well off of

530
00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:48,240
Speaker 1: each other. And one thing is it's not one position

531
00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:49,880
Speaker 1: that's going to be asked to do more than the other.

532
00:27:49,880 --> 00:27:52,159
Speaker 1: In that regard, they would just be a compliment to

533
00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:54,560
Speaker 1: each other. So I think his stock is down right

534
00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:57,000
Speaker 1: now just because nobody can see him play and nobody

535
00:27:57,000 --> 00:27:59,040
Speaker 1: can see him practice and you're hearing. All you're hearing

536
00:27:59,119 --> 00:28:01,480
Speaker 1: is the rotation is going through. But overall he's a event.

537
00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:03,399
Speaker 1: I think he would be perfectly fine. If anything, these

538
00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:05,880
Speaker 1: young guys are gonna bring that competitive aspect back down

539
00:28:05,880 --> 00:28:10,159
Speaker 1: of him as a veteran. You know, he Isaiah, you

540
00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:12,399
Speaker 1: bring up a great point because I'll say, from watching

541
00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:16,040
Speaker 1: in practice, I haven't seen Haha struggled really necessarily at all.

542
00:28:16,560 --> 00:28:19,240
Speaker 1: And there are a lot of rotations going on right now.

543
00:28:19,280 --> 00:28:22,359
Speaker 1: I mean, I've we've seen a lot of change at

544
00:28:22,359 --> 00:28:25,359
Speaker 1: the defensive line, offensive line. I saw Blake Jarwin at

545
00:28:25,359 --> 00:28:28,200
Speaker 1: one point working with backups and then he's right back in.

546
00:28:28,280 --> 00:28:30,040
Speaker 1: They're getting a look at a lot of different guys.

547
00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:32,479
Speaker 1: So I mean point, and I have to think about it.

548
00:28:32,800 --> 00:28:36,439
Speaker 1: We don't have a preseason. We don't have the preseason, right,

549
00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:38,600
Speaker 1: So if you don't have preseason games and you can't

550
00:28:38,600 --> 00:28:41,240
Speaker 1: see what guys like in different situations, the only thing

551
00:28:41,280 --> 00:28:44,280
Speaker 1: that you have is practice. So you gotta cycle guys

552
00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:45,959
Speaker 1: through to see how they're gonna respond. You got to

553
00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:48,360
Speaker 1: see how guys are going to react to different situations

554
00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:53,040
Speaker 1: and all those things. So not not stressing at all. Yeah, Chris,

555
00:28:53,080 --> 00:28:54,760
Speaker 1: you got him new too, Mike, he did it, he

556
00:28:54,840 --> 00:28:58,120
Speaker 1: did it, he did it. We're hearing everything double time.

557
00:28:58,280 --> 00:29:01,880
Speaker 1: But I would say, for me, stock up on Haha.

558
00:29:02,040 --> 00:29:04,440
Speaker 1: And the reason I say that is because we haven't

559
00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:08,640
Speaker 1: had any preseason games. Look, because of COVID nineteen, it

560
00:29:08,760 --> 00:29:13,560
Speaker 1: is presented a different layer for how you evaluate players.

561
00:29:13,800 --> 00:29:16,440
Speaker 1: And I just feel as though that experience that Haha

562
00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:20,920
Speaker 1: has is evaluable to this team. When we look at

563
00:29:21,040 --> 00:29:25,600
Speaker 1: Worldly at the veteran cornerback, everyone is talking about the

564
00:29:25,680 --> 00:29:28,440
Speaker 1: value add that he brings with his experience. I think

565
00:29:28,440 --> 00:29:30,840
Speaker 1: Haha brings that as well. And I think you want

566
00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:33,480
Speaker 1: to evaluate all of these guys because you don't have

567
00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:36,840
Speaker 1: any preseason games. So Lenny Thompson run with the ones.

568
00:29:37,080 --> 00:29:39,280
Speaker 1: I believe that it's smart. But at the same time,

569
00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:43,080
Speaker 1: I don't think that because of that that says that

570
00:29:43,280 --> 00:29:48,440
Speaker 1: you know, this guy is no good. Agreed, Mike, Mike McCarthy.

571
00:29:48,440 --> 00:29:50,480
Speaker 1: If there's anyone that knows what he has in that

572
00:29:50,560 --> 00:29:54,400
Speaker 1: particular player, it's Mike McCarthy. Now, I did hear we

573
00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:56,560
Speaker 1: had Kyle back, but I don't hear him, did you

574
00:29:56,600 --> 00:29:59,120
Speaker 1: guys here? I don't see him or hearing you know,

575
00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:02,360
Speaker 1: you know, fell off his internet because the football guys

576
00:30:02,360 --> 00:30:05,920
Speaker 1: were so disrespected by what he said earlier in the

577
00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:08,240
Speaker 1: show about Earl then they just they just canceled his

578
00:30:08,240 --> 00:30:11,160
Speaker 1: whole internet over there at the Star. And I'm not

579
00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:15,360
Speaker 1: sure he even meant it either. Yeah no, but but

580
00:30:15,440 --> 00:30:17,680
Speaker 1: yeah no, I mean in terms of how how guys,

581
00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:20,280
Speaker 1: I think he'll be perfectly fine. So I said stock down,

582
00:30:20,280 --> 00:30:22,480
Speaker 1: But I'm going ahead and say flatline because you don't

583
00:30:22,480 --> 00:30:24,360
Speaker 1: need your events to having a bunch of reps at practice.

584
00:30:24,360 --> 00:30:26,040
Speaker 1: You know what they're gonna be capable of doing whenever

585
00:30:26,120 --> 00:30:29,600
Speaker 1: one week one shows up. Now the next player that

586
00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:32,920
Speaker 1: we had on stock up stock down, and you would

587
00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:35,719
Speaker 1: you would probably say that his stock is down because

588
00:30:35,760 --> 00:30:39,720
Speaker 1: Ceedee Lamb is putting on a show every day. Everything

589
00:30:39,760 --> 00:30:42,800
Speaker 1: I hear on Twitter from what the rookie is doing is,

590
00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:46,080
Speaker 1: oh my god, he did a some assault and caught

591
00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:50,760
Speaker 1: the ball. And Almari Cooper amar Amari Cooper is also

592
00:30:50,880 --> 00:30:56,200
Speaker 1: seeming is informed at camp as well. But Michael Gallup,

593
00:30:56,280 --> 00:30:59,400
Speaker 1: which you say, Michael Gallup is a stock up or

594
00:30:59,440 --> 00:31:02,080
Speaker 1: as he is stock down guy, Isaiah, you're the resident

595
00:31:02,120 --> 00:31:04,960
Speaker 1: wide receiver, so we'll start with you. I think gallup

596
00:31:05,040 --> 00:31:07,160
Speaker 1: stock is up. I mean, why wouldn't it be. I mean,

597
00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:09,920
Speaker 1: he has two other guys to playoff of. I don't

598
00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:12,200
Speaker 1: think there's any question that he's still probably number two

599
00:31:12,360 --> 00:31:15,040
Speaker 1: out there, So, I mean, he still has a speed

600
00:31:15,080 --> 00:31:16,920
Speaker 1: as far as as far as I'm concerned, as far

601
00:31:16,960 --> 00:31:19,440
Speaker 1: as I've known about him right now, I have been

602
00:31:19,480 --> 00:31:21,480
Speaker 1: able to see practice, But I don't see a reason

603
00:31:21,480 --> 00:31:23,600
Speaker 1: why his stock would be down right now. If anything,

604
00:31:23,600 --> 00:31:26,040
Speaker 1: he's gonna have more one on one opportunities going into

605
00:31:26,080 --> 00:31:28,400
Speaker 1: this season. If CD's anything like I'm like the reports

606
00:31:28,400 --> 00:31:30,920
Speaker 1: are stating, then somebody's gonna have to cover him. They're

607
00:31:30,920 --> 00:31:33,320
Speaker 1: gonna have to bring a number three in to cover him,

608
00:31:33,360 --> 00:31:36,320
Speaker 1: whether he's in a slot or outside. Somebody that's respectable

609
00:31:36,400 --> 00:31:38,040
Speaker 1: is gonna have to cover this dude, and what does

610
00:31:38,080 --> 00:31:40,760
Speaker 1: that lead Gallabat. You could talk about all these other receivers,

611
00:31:40,760 --> 00:31:43,320
Speaker 1: Cooping and Guy and CD all you want to give

612
00:31:43,360 --> 00:31:45,120
Speaker 1: me your third guy, I'll take your third guy all

613
00:31:45,200 --> 00:31:49,120
Speaker 1: day long. He's gonna blow right by him, absolutely, Rob

614
00:31:49,800 --> 00:31:52,840
Speaker 1: stock Up, stock Up. Yeah, CD's gotten all the headlines

615
00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:55,320
Speaker 1: and look rightfully, so Amari has just been I think

616
00:31:55,320 --> 00:31:58,320
Speaker 1: with Amari, Amari is just a Mari. You expect it

617
00:31:58,400 --> 00:32:02,520
Speaker 1: from him and he's not outspoken, but he just gets

618
00:32:02,520 --> 00:32:05,360
Speaker 1: the job done. But Gallops made his share of plays too.

619
00:32:05,600 --> 00:32:08,360
Speaker 1: Dak had a beautiful back shoulder throw to him for

620
00:32:08,440 --> 00:32:12,480
Speaker 1: a touchdown yesterday. I think he's arguably the most explosive

621
00:32:13,400 --> 00:32:16,480
Speaker 1: wide receiver they have, you know, getting to top speed

622
00:32:16,880 --> 00:32:20,120
Speaker 1: and separating from from DB's he's been productive. And the

623
00:32:20,160 --> 00:32:23,280
Speaker 1: other thing Adam Henry wide receivers coach spoke about it

624
00:32:23,520 --> 00:32:26,120
Speaker 1: the other day with us, those top three guys have

625
00:32:26,240 --> 00:32:30,080
Speaker 1: really started to bond they. You know, Amari has said

626
00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:32,360
Speaker 1: he's an open book for CD, and I think it

627
00:32:32,440 --> 00:32:34,880
Speaker 1: goes the same with Gallup. I think those three are

628
00:32:34,880 --> 00:32:38,400
Speaker 1: really building their chemistry and the only thing Gallup needs

629
00:32:38,760 --> 00:32:41,400
Speaker 1: for me is just cut down some of those drops.

630
00:32:41,440 --> 00:32:42,960
Speaker 1: Last year he had some of those drops that he

631
00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:47,320
Speaker 1: blamed himself for. If he can do that, he's the

632
00:32:47,360 --> 00:32:49,560
Speaker 1: sky's the limit for him. I think he's really got

633
00:32:49,600 --> 00:32:51,080
Speaker 1: a chance to be a Paro Bowl receiver. It just

634
00:32:51,120 --> 00:32:54,520
Speaker 1: comes down to the amount of touches you can get

635
00:32:54,560 --> 00:32:58,720
Speaker 1: in this offense. Yeah, Michael Gallup has got to be

636
00:32:58,800 --> 00:33:02,640
Speaker 1: tickled with that rookie, with the signing of Ceedee Lamb

637
00:33:02,640 --> 00:33:05,400
Speaker 1: and knowing the kind of dog that he has and

638
00:33:05,520 --> 00:33:08,600
Speaker 1: Amari Cooper. The word is getting out to the rest

639
00:33:08,600 --> 00:33:11,560
Speaker 1: of the NFL what Ceedee Lamb is doing in camp,

640
00:33:11,560 --> 00:33:14,520
Speaker 1: and all that does is that make That's gonna make

641
00:33:14,560 --> 00:33:17,400
Speaker 1: defense is the heightened sense of awareness of where these

642
00:33:17,400 --> 00:33:21,600
Speaker 1: two guys are nineteen and eighty eight. Maybe, just maybe

643
00:33:21,640 --> 00:33:23,880
Speaker 1: people are gonna say, oh, Michael Gallup, we can leave

644
00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:25,880
Speaker 1: you one on one with one of our slot guys.

645
00:33:26,120 --> 00:33:29,480
Speaker 1: And that's where Michael Gallup starts to eat. So all

646
00:33:29,520 --> 00:33:31,760
Speaker 1: of the talking and he wants to probably stay as

647
00:33:31,880 --> 00:33:35,280
Speaker 1: quiet as he possibly can. But the rest of the NFL,

648
00:33:35,600 --> 00:33:40,280
Speaker 1: not knowing schematically how the Cowboys are gonna line up.

649
00:33:40,360 --> 00:33:44,360
Speaker 1: I'm saying, I'm saying stock up for Michael Gallup. But

650
00:33:44,600 --> 00:33:47,400
Speaker 1: as far as our next player, and I think this

651
00:33:47,520 --> 00:33:51,760
Speaker 1: is very interesting because as far as this seat the

652
00:33:51,840 --> 00:33:56,880
Speaker 1: cornerback group, everyone is hearing the word on a Woozier

653
00:33:57,080 --> 00:33:59,960
Speaker 1: in some of these plays that he's making in camp,

654
00:34:00,200 --> 00:34:03,200
Speaker 1: Rob you had to write up about him about a

655
00:34:03,280 --> 00:34:09,040
Speaker 1: Woozier stock up, stock down on Cheetah, stock up, stock up.

656
00:34:09,040 --> 00:34:12,520
Speaker 1: He has been you know, I think the most encouraging

657
00:34:12,560 --> 00:34:16,200
Speaker 1: thing about practice so far for me, beyond the defensive line,

658
00:34:16,320 --> 00:34:19,160
Speaker 1: is you see different dbs step up every single day.

659
00:34:19,440 --> 00:34:22,200
Speaker 1: You know, it's been Anthony Brown some days, Dry Walley

660
00:34:22,320 --> 00:34:24,960
Speaker 1: has been productive pretty much every day, it seems like,

661
00:34:25,360 --> 00:34:28,840
Speaker 1: and Cheeto's writing a mixed two now. I think he

662
00:34:28,920 --> 00:34:32,080
Speaker 1: was limited today in practice, didn't do much after what

663
00:34:32,160 --> 00:34:34,799
Speaker 1: appeared to be kind of strain in his leg in

664
00:34:34,840 --> 00:34:39,319
Speaker 1: practice yesterday, but he was flying around before that, had

665
00:34:39,560 --> 00:34:44,279
Speaker 1: had a leaping interception and team drills on Dak in

666
00:34:44,320 --> 00:34:46,760
Speaker 1: a two minute situation where the offense needed a field

667
00:34:46,760 --> 00:34:48,719
Speaker 1: goal to go win the game. He's been like that

668
00:34:48,760 --> 00:34:51,799
Speaker 1: throughoute camp. He's been competitive against these top receivers. And

669
00:34:51,880 --> 00:34:54,640
Speaker 1: I asked Mike Nolan, new defensive coordinator, about it. A

670
00:34:54,640 --> 00:34:57,399
Speaker 1: couple of days ago, and he said, look, they liked

671
00:34:57,400 --> 00:35:00,160
Speaker 1: their numbers there and the fact we just mentioned out

672
00:35:00,239 --> 00:35:03,080
Speaker 1: going against these wide receivers day today is going to

673
00:35:03,160 --> 00:35:05,920
Speaker 1: make all the dbs better. And I think Cheeto's been

674
00:35:05,920 --> 00:35:09,160
Speaker 1: really good so far. Rob. I'm back by the way,

675
00:35:09,200 --> 00:35:10,480
Speaker 1: and I want to kind of go off of the

676
00:35:10,520 --> 00:35:12,560
Speaker 1: point that you just made, because that was something I

677
00:35:12,600 --> 00:35:16,040
Speaker 1: was really thinking about today, was you see the growth

678
00:35:16,239 --> 00:35:19,480
Speaker 1: in trey Von Diggs. You see the growth and Anthony

679
00:35:19,520 --> 00:35:22,000
Speaker 1: Brown and what he's able to do with the DBS

680
00:35:22,040 --> 00:35:25,040
Speaker 1: and in the slot. But I really think ultimately it's

681
00:35:25,920 --> 00:35:30,040
Speaker 1: super encouraging to see Gallop and Amari and Ceedee Lamb

682
00:35:30,120 --> 00:35:32,399
Speaker 1: had the success that they do because every time they

683
00:35:32,440 --> 00:35:35,840
Speaker 1: make a spectacular grab, you know, those defensive backs are learning.

684
00:35:35,880 --> 00:35:38,719
Speaker 1: You know, those safeties are learning to come across and

685
00:35:38,800 --> 00:35:41,319
Speaker 1: find a way to give you that help over the top.

686
00:35:41,440 --> 00:35:45,640
Speaker 1: I think overall that's a super encouraging thing. And Isaiah,

687
00:35:45,640 --> 00:35:47,600
Speaker 1: I know you could probably play this as a wide

688
00:35:47,640 --> 00:35:50,520
Speaker 1: receiver who's been through training camp. Was there any given

689
00:35:50,640 --> 00:35:53,760
Speaker 1: take from the offensive side to the defensive side whenever

690
00:35:53,800 --> 00:35:57,120
Speaker 1: there were plays like that? Heck yeah, we got into

691
00:35:57,120 --> 00:35:58,600
Speaker 1: it all the time. I mean, you gotta Remember we

692
00:35:59,080 --> 00:36:01,880
Speaker 1: had a really way had Tarrell owens Um at the

693
00:36:01,920 --> 00:36:06,880
Speaker 1: same time we had pac Man, Jones, Terence Newman, Orlando Scandred,

694
00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:10,479
Speaker 1: Mike Jenkins. You know, so we had a very mouthy group,

695
00:36:10,520 --> 00:36:13,279
Speaker 1: should I say, And you know it was always back

696
00:36:13,280 --> 00:36:15,399
Speaker 1: and forth, you know, and you might during one on ones,

697
00:36:15,520 --> 00:36:18,319
Speaker 1: especially even pre practice, right, somebody make a grab, you know,

698
00:36:18,320 --> 00:36:20,400
Speaker 1: a guy start wolfing, you know, TiO talking to pac Man.

699
00:36:20,480 --> 00:36:22,239
Speaker 1: Tell M I'll come back to the lot of scrimmage. Now,

700
00:36:22,320 --> 00:36:24,640
Speaker 1: let's go right now, you know. So you get that

701
00:36:24,680 --> 00:36:28,400
Speaker 1: back and forth and it's and it's um, it's highly competitive,

702
00:36:28,640 --> 00:36:32,719
Speaker 1: but it's so productive. It's so productive because what better

703
00:36:32,800 --> 00:36:36,040
Speaker 1: setting to have the highest level of competition than in practice?

704
00:36:36,800 --> 00:36:39,880
Speaker 1: Right then? In practice, That's why the more stacked up

705
00:36:39,960 --> 00:36:43,080
Speaker 1: your your your roster is, the more the more depth

706
00:36:43,080 --> 00:36:45,680
Speaker 1: that you have at each position, the better the opposing

707
00:36:45,719 --> 00:36:48,719
Speaker 1: side of the ball gets because they get better every

708
00:36:48,960 --> 00:36:52,239
Speaker 1: single rep. There's not such a drop off in talent. Right,

709
00:36:52,280 --> 00:36:54,600
Speaker 1: So when I take this, I take these skill sets

710
00:36:54,600 --> 00:36:57,080
Speaker 1: in these practice and I go to the game, guess

711
00:36:57,080 --> 00:37:00,000
Speaker 1: what I've already been facing the best that there is, right,

712
00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:02,520
Speaker 1: there was something equivalent to it, right, So I'm prepared,

713
00:37:02,840 --> 00:37:05,560
Speaker 1: especially when there's no preseason, right, So these guys are

714
00:37:05,560 --> 00:37:08,280
Speaker 1: going to be in there battling every single day, Louisia

715
00:37:08,320 --> 00:37:10,239
Speaker 1: and all those other guys. It has to be the

716
00:37:10,320 --> 00:37:13,279
Speaker 1: most highly competitive group on our team. It has to be,

717
00:37:13,600 --> 00:37:15,920
Speaker 1: right because there's so many unknowns. So these guys are

718
00:37:15,920 --> 00:37:18,239
Speaker 1: out there not only competing because of the guys on

719
00:37:18,239 --> 00:37:19,880
Speaker 1: the other side of the born in terms of Cooper

720
00:37:20,080 --> 00:37:22,640
Speaker 1: at CD in Gallant, but also because of the fact

721
00:37:22,640 --> 00:37:25,560
Speaker 1: of guess what, we have a lot of depth and

722
00:37:25,600 --> 00:37:27,880
Speaker 1: if I want to play, I gotta show something every

723
00:37:27,920 --> 00:37:29,799
Speaker 1: single day because I don't have a preseason to go

724
00:37:29,800 --> 00:37:31,399
Speaker 1: out there to show that I can ball. I gotta

725
00:37:31,400 --> 00:37:33,439
Speaker 1: show it in his practice rips And by the way,

726
00:37:33,480 --> 00:37:35,960
Speaker 1: Trayvon Dicks, that was his best practice of camp so far.

727
00:37:36,719 --> 00:37:40,080
Speaker 1: One was everywhere today. Yeah, he had a couple pvus,

728
00:37:40,239 --> 00:37:42,800
Speaker 1: was in great position really all the way through. Looked

729
00:37:42,800 --> 00:37:46,320
Speaker 1: comfortable in zone for the first time. I think yesterday

730
00:37:46,440 --> 00:37:48,480
Speaker 1: was really the first practice that I looked at him

731
00:37:48,480 --> 00:37:50,360
Speaker 1: and said, Okay, he looks comfortable. He looks like his

732
00:37:50,400 --> 00:37:54,320
Speaker 1: footworks there, his decision makings there, finally kind of finding

733
00:37:54,320 --> 00:37:56,960
Speaker 1: a groove for the rookie out of Alabama second round pick.

734
00:37:57,280 --> 00:37:59,920
Speaker 1: Now you talk about sink or swim, we kind of

735
00:38:00,080 --> 00:38:03,080
Speaker 1: saw that last year whenever it was Tony Poler thrown

736
00:38:03,080 --> 00:38:05,919
Speaker 1: into the mix with no Ezekiel Elliott at training camp.

737
00:38:05,960 --> 00:38:09,759
Speaker 1: He's our next stock up stock down because I want

738
00:38:09,760 --> 00:38:11,880
Speaker 1: to hear what you guys have to think about Tony Pollard,

739
00:38:11,920 --> 00:38:14,799
Speaker 1: because seemingly from what we've heard from Kellen Moore, from

740
00:38:14,800 --> 00:38:18,560
Speaker 1: this offensive staff, from Skip Pete and really the entire

741
00:38:18,560 --> 00:38:21,200
Speaker 1: coaching staff is they want to get Tony Pollard involved,

742
00:38:21,239 --> 00:38:24,160
Speaker 1: not as a backup running back, but as an added weapon.

743
00:38:24,520 --> 00:38:27,320
Speaker 1: Robin start with you. Stock up, stock down for Tony

744
00:38:27,360 --> 00:38:32,000
Speaker 1: Poler through camp so far stock up, I mean, I think,

745
00:38:32,680 --> 00:38:34,640
Speaker 1: you know, I think they have an opportunity and they

746
00:38:34,719 --> 00:38:38,120
Speaker 1: probably they should not Probably they should get him more involved.

747
00:38:38,160 --> 00:38:41,080
Speaker 1: I think there's a way to get Zeke and Pollard involved,

748
00:38:41,280 --> 00:38:46,680
Speaker 1: sometimes together, sometimes spelling Zeke. Because we talked about versatility

749
00:38:46,680 --> 00:38:49,239
Speaker 1: on defense, Tony Pollard can give you a little bit

750
00:38:49,239 --> 00:38:52,080
Speaker 1: of everything on offense too, and Zeke's trying to do

751
00:38:52,120 --> 00:38:53,759
Speaker 1: the same thing as Zeke has proven he can do

752
00:38:53,800 --> 00:38:57,000
Speaker 1: it in terms of a pass catcher, a blocker, complete back.

753
00:38:57,760 --> 00:39:02,000
Speaker 1: Pollard gives Kellen Moore so any different options as a

754
00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:05,640
Speaker 1: compliment to Elliott, and I think we've seen it in practice.

755
00:39:05,640 --> 00:39:08,400
Speaker 1: He's explosive. I think he has a better grasp on

756
00:39:08,440 --> 00:39:11,520
Speaker 1: the offense than he did last season. But you know,

757
00:39:11,680 --> 00:39:14,120
Speaker 1: I always when we talk about Tony Potter, I always

758
00:39:14,160 --> 00:39:16,360
Speaker 1: go back to what Isaiah said, There's just there's certain

759
00:39:16,440 --> 00:39:19,880
Speaker 1: guys that have so much talent, but you got to

760
00:39:19,920 --> 00:39:22,720
Speaker 1: find a role, You got to find certain snaps. And

761
00:39:22,760 --> 00:39:25,520
Speaker 1: I think the biggest thing that will help him is

762
00:39:25,560 --> 00:39:28,280
Speaker 1: if they're just a better overall team and they build

763
00:39:28,360 --> 00:39:30,879
Speaker 1: leads and they give more opportunities for him to get

764
00:39:30,920 --> 00:39:32,400
Speaker 1: in the game, because I think they were in a

765
00:39:32,400 --> 00:39:35,240
Speaker 1: lot of situations last year where they were in trailing

766
00:39:35,440 --> 00:39:39,879
Speaker 1: and trying to make make things up in the scoreboard. Yeah,

767
00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:43,840
Speaker 1: rob so Ezekiel Elliott is no longer a spring chicken,

768
00:39:44,440 --> 00:39:47,400
Speaker 1: all right, I'll put it that way. We need to

769
00:39:47,400 --> 00:39:49,880
Speaker 1: take some reps off of him, right, You want to

770
00:39:49,960 --> 00:39:53,720
Speaker 1: preserve your number one running back. And I want everybody

771
00:39:53,760 --> 00:39:56,600
Speaker 1: to think back to when the Saints were absolutely bamming out.

772
00:39:56,640 --> 00:39:58,839
Speaker 1: They had two dogs back there, one by the name

773
00:39:58,880 --> 00:40:01,600
Speaker 1: of mark Ingram, one the name Alvin Kamara, and they

774
00:40:01,680 --> 00:40:05,360
Speaker 1: had two totally different styles of play, right, And it

775
00:40:05,400 --> 00:40:08,080
Speaker 1: really reminds me of those guys in terms of what

776
00:40:08,360 --> 00:40:11,640
Speaker 1: these guys have now here in Dallas, what availability they

777
00:40:11,680 --> 00:40:14,279
Speaker 1: have to them right now in the forum of Ezekiel Elliott, right,

778
00:40:14,280 --> 00:40:16,200
Speaker 1: and Tony Poler. You got a guy who's gonna be

779
00:40:16,239 --> 00:40:19,239
Speaker 1: your every down back, who he knows always gonna fall forward. Right,

780
00:40:19,239 --> 00:40:21,319
Speaker 1: He's not necessarily gonna run away from guys all the time,

781
00:40:21,360 --> 00:40:23,040
Speaker 1: but he's gonna give him. He's gonna gi him the hammer.

782
00:40:23,080 --> 00:40:24,759
Speaker 1: He's gonna give our first down, he's gonna give us

783
00:40:24,760 --> 00:40:26,520
Speaker 1: our first and second down efficiency. And then guess what,

784
00:40:26,960 --> 00:40:28,880
Speaker 1: then you bring in your curveball right, and all of

785
00:40:28,920 --> 00:40:30,440
Speaker 1: a sudden, you got to due name Poler, who can

786
00:40:30,520 --> 00:40:32,839
Speaker 1: obviously be your third down back. He could swing out,

787
00:40:32,840 --> 00:40:35,080
Speaker 1: he could run routes one on one on linebackers because

788
00:40:35,120 --> 00:40:37,120
Speaker 1: you're going to have one on one because you can't

789
00:40:37,120 --> 00:40:40,080
Speaker 1: play zone with these three receivers that you have out there.

790
00:40:40,239 --> 00:40:41,960
Speaker 1: Plus you got this dude named Jarwin. They can kind

791
00:40:41,960 --> 00:40:43,799
Speaker 1: of run a little bit fast super his position, So

792
00:40:44,040 --> 00:40:47,120
Speaker 1: you're gonna have man coverage from the running back position,

793
00:40:47,320 --> 00:40:50,799
Speaker 1: and how many linebackers can really cover running backs not

794
00:40:50,880 --> 00:40:53,720
Speaker 1: that many, So they're gonna include him as much as possible.

795
00:40:53,880 --> 00:40:55,279
Speaker 1: As we talked about in the pass on the show,

796
00:40:55,360 --> 00:40:57,960
Speaker 1: Zeke will get his screenplays, but Pauler is gonna get

797
00:40:58,000 --> 00:41:00,400
Speaker 1: worked in or. I think it's not only smart si antically,

798
00:41:00,560 --> 00:41:03,359
Speaker 1: but it's also smart in terms of persevering and bray

799
00:41:03,480 --> 00:41:06,680
Speaker 1: certain terms of preserving Ezekiel Elliott as you want him

800
00:41:06,680 --> 00:41:10,359
Speaker 1: to be on your team for the next six seven years. Now, Kyle,

801
00:41:10,480 --> 00:41:13,799
Speaker 1: you wrote a great article about Tony Pollard and him

802
00:41:13,880 --> 00:41:16,600
Speaker 1: just basically pointing out that he's in a better mental

803
00:41:16,680 --> 00:41:20,760
Speaker 1: space coming into coming into two a days simply because

804
00:41:20,800 --> 00:41:24,400
Speaker 1: he's more aware of what's being asked of him. It

805
00:41:24,520 --> 00:41:27,120
Speaker 1: sounded like to me, just cutting to the chase, I

806
00:41:27,239 --> 00:41:30,200
Speaker 1: know my plays now, you know, and as a rookie,

807
00:41:30,640 --> 00:41:32,839
Speaker 1: are those are some of the things that these guys

808
00:41:32,880 --> 00:41:35,319
Speaker 1: struggle with. It is just learning the playbook. And you

809
00:41:35,360 --> 00:41:37,920
Speaker 1: saw that from Tony Pollard. It's just some of those plays.

810
00:41:37,920 --> 00:41:39,239
Speaker 1: It looked like he was out there and he was

811
00:41:39,320 --> 00:41:42,120
Speaker 1: clueless asked to what to do. Guys, I'm on the

812
00:41:42,160 --> 00:41:44,080
Speaker 1: other end of this and this is stocked down, and

813
00:41:44,440 --> 00:41:47,920
Speaker 1: I'm saying stock down because I don't Yes, exactly. I'm

814
00:41:47,920 --> 00:41:51,040
Speaker 1: saying it because I don't want any rep that is

815
00:41:51,080 --> 00:41:53,960
Speaker 1: taken away from Ezekiel Elliott is a bad rep in

816
00:41:54,080 --> 00:41:57,000
Speaker 1: my In my opinion, I believe he's I believe he's

817
00:41:57,000 --> 00:42:01,319
Speaker 1: a generational talent. I believe he's kind of guy that

818
00:42:01,400 --> 00:42:05,799
Speaker 1: once he gets going and he's eating, you don't want

819
00:42:05,800 --> 00:42:08,319
Speaker 1: to stop that train. And so I just feel as

820
00:42:08,360 --> 00:42:11,840
Speaker 1: though the Cowboys have so many weapons you have to

821
00:42:11,880 --> 00:42:14,759
Speaker 1: fit Tony Pollard into it. But I don't think you

822
00:42:14,880 --> 00:42:19,000
Speaker 1: get Zeke out of rhythm just so that Tony Pollard

823
00:42:19,000 --> 00:42:21,120
Speaker 1: could get a rep. Now, Isaiah, look I have my

824
00:42:21,200 --> 00:42:24,799
Speaker 1: PhD and mama shop debate. So you're ready to do this, Well,

825
00:42:24,800 --> 00:42:27,919
Speaker 1: I'm ready for, I'm ready for. I'm not sure. Heck,

826
00:42:28,239 --> 00:42:30,720
Speaker 1: I know you're I know you're, you know, a football

827
00:42:30,880 --> 00:42:33,759
Speaker 1: minded individual. But this is thing that that they called

828
00:42:33,800 --> 00:42:35,840
Speaker 1: the split back. Have you heard of that. There's a

829
00:42:35,880 --> 00:42:37,359
Speaker 1: thing that they called a split back in and that's

830
00:42:37,360 --> 00:42:39,399
Speaker 1: where you have two running backs in the game at

831
00:42:39,400 --> 00:42:41,560
Speaker 1: one time. So if there's one running back that happens

832
00:42:41,600 --> 00:42:44,360
Speaker 1: to be as you say, eating, um, there's an opportunity

833
00:42:44,360 --> 00:42:46,239
Speaker 1: for you to now bring the second running back in

834
00:42:46,320 --> 00:42:48,319
Speaker 1: and go of split backs right, and then when you

835
00:42:48,360 --> 00:42:50,680
Speaker 1: go split backs, you may take Jarwin out and then

836
00:42:50,719 --> 00:42:54,359
Speaker 1: you still leave Ceedee, Lamb, Gallop and Cooper in the game.

837
00:42:54,440 --> 00:42:57,560
Speaker 1: So now you have your top three receiving individuals and

838
00:42:57,640 --> 00:42:59,719
Speaker 1: your top two runners in the game at the same

839
00:42:59,760 --> 00:43:02,359
Speaker 1: time with a guy named Dak Prescott wearing number four

840
00:43:02,400 --> 00:43:05,000
Speaker 1: at quarterbacks. So that's five weapons out there that that

841
00:43:05,160 --> 00:43:07,440
Speaker 1: defense really doesn't want to face. So you don't have

842
00:43:07,480 --> 00:43:09,360
Speaker 1: to take Zeke out of it. You can just simply

843
00:43:09,400 --> 00:43:12,680
Speaker 1: ad pollardated it to be a complimentary player. I'll go

844
00:43:12,800 --> 00:43:16,600
Speaker 1: with that. Anytime you're talking about complimentary to Ezekiel Elliott,

845
00:43:16,640 --> 00:43:19,439
Speaker 1: I'm all about it. All I'm saying is that this year,

846
00:43:19,840 --> 00:43:22,200
Speaker 1: it seems like all of the stars have a line

847
00:43:22,239 --> 00:43:25,960
Speaker 1: for Ezekiel Elliot. It finally, I finally will have another

848
00:43:26,160 --> 00:43:29,920
Speaker 1: solid breakout here, and I'm talking about fifteen sixteen hundred

849
00:43:29,960 --> 00:43:32,239
Speaker 1: yards is what I'm looking for. Yes, I said it.

850
00:43:32,480 --> 00:43:35,319
Speaker 1: I'm telling you I'm expecting that from him behind this

851
00:43:35,400 --> 00:43:39,719
Speaker 1: offensive line. What I said it, I've said, I'm here

852
00:43:39,800 --> 00:43:41,960
Speaker 1: for it. You and I You and I agree on

853
00:43:42,000 --> 00:43:44,560
Speaker 1: a lot of things, and this is not one of

854
00:43:44,600 --> 00:43:48,960
Speaker 1: those things. A little bit you're talking about you're talking

855
00:43:49,000 --> 00:43:52,960
Speaker 1: about stars aligning for Ezekiel Elliott to be a huntred

856
00:43:53,000 --> 00:43:57,799
Speaker 1: back and have fifteen or sixteen hundred yards sometimes aligning.

857
00:43:58,239 --> 00:44:01,600
Speaker 1: So Ezekiel Elliott does doesn't have to be the featuring

858
00:44:01,880 --> 00:44:05,560
Speaker 1: part of this offense. He can be a key cog.

859
00:44:05,880 --> 00:44:08,120
Speaker 1: He doesn't have to be the featured cog. He can

860
00:44:08,160 --> 00:44:10,640
Speaker 1: be his own person, and he can be his own

861
00:44:10,680 --> 00:44:14,839
Speaker 1: weapon along with Amari Cooper, Michael Gallup and so on

862
00:44:14,880 --> 00:44:17,880
Speaker 1: and so forth. I can completely disagree with you, and

863
00:44:17,960 --> 00:44:23,200
Speaker 1: I love you Hack They always you know this thousand percu.

864
00:44:23,800 --> 00:44:25,920
Speaker 1: I am not so sole. So what you're telling me

865
00:44:26,040 --> 00:44:29,440
Speaker 1: is you would rather have an eleven hundred thousand yard

866
00:44:29,480 --> 00:44:32,640
Speaker 1: eleven hundred yard Ezekiel Elliott with four to five hundred

867
00:44:32,719 --> 00:44:34,799
Speaker 1: yards in the playoffs leading up all the way through

868
00:44:34,800 --> 00:44:37,840
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl, that a sixteen hundred yard Ezekiel Elliott

869
00:44:37,880 --> 00:44:39,120
Speaker 1: that gets out in the first round. Is that what

870
00:44:39,160 --> 00:44:43,960
Speaker 1: you're telling one hundred percent, I don't. He's not built

871
00:44:44,000 --> 00:44:45,960
Speaker 1: like that. He's not He's not built like that. And

872
00:44:46,040 --> 00:44:48,880
Speaker 1: the other part about it is Ezekiel is he's no,

873
00:44:49,080 --> 00:44:51,759
Speaker 1: He's built for this sixteen hundred yards. So you're saying

874
00:44:51,880 --> 00:44:58,480
Speaker 1: eleven hundred yards and and you put on top of

875
00:44:58,520 --> 00:45:00,759
Speaker 1: that the fact that he was under you utilize in

876
00:45:00,800 --> 00:45:04,160
Speaker 1: the passing game last year. Yes, Ezekiel Elliott is an

877
00:45:04,239 --> 00:45:08,720
Speaker 1: asset that you have to use, man always the NFL.

878
00:45:09,000 --> 00:45:11,520
Speaker 1: The NFL, you can have all the receivers for a

879
00:45:11,560 --> 00:45:13,640
Speaker 1: thousand yards you want, and you will be at home

880
00:45:13,920 --> 00:45:15,879
Speaker 1: if you have a running game and you can milk

881
00:45:15,920 --> 00:45:18,239
Speaker 1: that clock. Look man, and you have a defense that

882
00:45:18,280 --> 00:45:21,279
Speaker 1: you could run out there and get and create turnoffers.

883
00:45:21,480 --> 00:45:24,600
Speaker 1: There's no way you don't say, Ezekiel Elliott is our

884
00:45:24,640 --> 00:45:28,120
Speaker 1: bell pow running back and we're gonna ride him all

885
00:45:28,160 --> 00:45:30,799
Speaker 1: the way to Tampa. I said anything that takes them

886
00:45:30,840 --> 00:45:33,799
Speaker 1: all out of Ezekiel held Elliot's hands, I'm not with it.

887
00:45:34,080 --> 00:45:39,480
Speaker 1: Question question, um fellers, how many fifteen hundred yard running

888
00:45:39,480 --> 00:45:41,919
Speaker 1: backs have the Patriots had during their there in their run?

889
00:45:43,960 --> 00:45:47,600
Speaker 1: You did court, maybe Corey Dillon did it. How long

890
00:45:47,640 --> 00:45:51,000
Speaker 1: ago was that? Like? Fifteen years ago? Okay, So you're

891
00:45:51,000 --> 00:45:52,720
Speaker 1: saying that you don't have to have a fifteen hundred

892
00:45:52,760 --> 00:45:55,000
Speaker 1: yard running back in order to be successful in this league.

893
00:45:55,560 --> 00:45:57,319
Speaker 1: I'm not saying that that is a one that's a

894
00:45:57,360 --> 00:46:01,880
Speaker 1: prerequisite to winning a championship. Obvious. Kansas City doesn't have

895
00:46:01,920 --> 00:46:04,439
Speaker 1: a fifteen hundred yard rusher as well, but they don't

896
00:46:04,480 --> 00:46:08,280
Speaker 1: have Ezekiel Elliott. So let's not let's not put perched

897
00:46:08,400 --> 00:46:11,640
Speaker 1: Zeke up as though he's not the man that he is.

898
00:46:12,440 --> 00:46:14,080
Speaker 1: We're not We're not saying that, hey, we're saying that

899
00:46:14,160 --> 00:46:16,720
Speaker 1: you don't have to place those demands on him because

900
00:46:16,719 --> 00:46:20,200
Speaker 1: he has helped. He has help, So that has help.

901
00:46:20,400 --> 00:46:23,319
Speaker 1: Why would you not distribute that amongst everybody so that

902
00:46:23,400 --> 00:46:26,319
Speaker 1: everybody's healthier throughout the year, leading you all the way

903
00:46:26,360 --> 00:46:31,040
Speaker 1: up through a super Bowl, hopefully to Tampa man year.

904
00:46:32,840 --> 00:46:37,000
Speaker 1: Here's the thing about this, Here's here's the thing about

905
00:46:37,000 --> 00:46:41,000
Speaker 1: this debate. It's it's a This is exactly what coaches

906
00:46:41,160 --> 00:46:44,239
Speaker 1: dream about. This is what offensive consolutely dream about, is

907
00:46:44,280 --> 00:46:47,319
Speaker 1: having a debate on oh my gosh, which weapons do

908
00:46:47,400 --> 00:46:50,239
Speaker 1: we use? Oh? We we have so many guys that

909
00:46:50,280 --> 00:46:53,080
Speaker 1: could potentially go fifteen hundred yards or take us to

910
00:46:53,120 --> 00:46:57,279
Speaker 1: a super Bowl if they're healthy. That's a complete what

911
00:46:57,480 --> 00:47:02,120
Speaker 1: is It's go ahead, Kyle, let me ask you this.

912
00:47:02,440 --> 00:47:04,759
Speaker 1: And in a season where you have it, you're not

913
00:47:04,800 --> 00:47:08,040
Speaker 1: gonna have a preseason. The one thing that is constant

914
00:47:08,120 --> 00:47:12,240
Speaker 1: in your offense is you're running back, what is easier

915
00:47:12,520 --> 00:47:15,800
Speaker 1: to turn it around and handed the ball to Ezekielli.

916
00:47:16,120 --> 00:47:19,239
Speaker 1: He has something to prove this year. He was as

917
00:47:19,239 --> 00:47:23,000
Speaker 1: far as first down rushers, he was pretty last in

918
00:47:23,040 --> 00:47:25,279
Speaker 1: the NFL on first down and that had to do

919
00:47:25,600 --> 00:47:29,120
Speaker 1: with the lack of creativity in offense. Dude, we have

920
00:47:29,200 --> 00:47:31,399
Speaker 1: all of those weapons now. So if you have to

921
00:47:31,400 --> 00:47:34,840
Speaker 1: relegate to Amari Cooper and you have to relegate to

922
00:47:35,120 --> 00:47:37,880
Speaker 1: ceedee lamb, that extra man that you had in the

923
00:47:37,880 --> 00:47:40,759
Speaker 1: box last year, he's not gonna be there. So how

924
00:47:41,120 --> 00:47:43,799
Speaker 1: is that plan to turn around and handing the ball

925
00:47:43,840 --> 00:47:46,759
Speaker 1: to twenty one not the likely plan that's gonna get

926
00:47:46,760 --> 00:47:49,319
Speaker 1: you to the super Bowl or give you success. Well,

927
00:47:49,400 --> 00:47:52,200
Speaker 1: I think y'all both right. I think, like Isaiah said,

928
00:47:52,640 --> 00:47:54,719
Speaker 1: Pollard can take some of that off of him. So

929
00:47:54,880 --> 00:47:58,040
Speaker 1: it's a long season, right, But I also think there's

930
00:47:58,080 --> 00:48:01,480
Speaker 1: a better chance of Zeke getting fifteen yards than having

931
00:48:01,560 --> 00:48:04,200
Speaker 1: three one thousand yard receivers at least, that's what I think.

932
00:48:05,280 --> 00:48:07,239
Speaker 1: That's what I think a fan should probably hope for,

933
00:48:07,560 --> 00:48:10,880
Speaker 1: because what it means is you've got Zeke, like Heck said,

934
00:48:11,400 --> 00:48:14,440
Speaker 1: salting away games and wearing him down and finishing the

935
00:48:14,520 --> 00:48:16,319
Speaker 1: game off in the fourth quarter. He didn't get to

936
00:48:16,360 --> 00:48:18,600
Speaker 1: do that last year. I forget how many times it

937
00:48:18,680 --> 00:48:20,920
Speaker 1: was Dak threw over forty times in games. It was

938
00:48:20,960 --> 00:48:23,560
Speaker 1: like five or six times. That's way too much. You

939
00:48:23,600 --> 00:48:26,200
Speaker 1: need Dak. You need Dak having about I don't know,

940
00:48:26,280 --> 00:48:29,160
Speaker 1: twenty eight attempts something like that and be able to

941
00:48:29,160 --> 00:48:31,759
Speaker 1: pound your running backs. And I think if if you're

942
00:48:31,800 --> 00:48:34,080
Speaker 1: a good football team, I think Zeke's got a chance

943
00:48:34,120 --> 00:48:36,839
Speaker 1: to definitely get I think he had thirteen hundred last year.

944
00:48:36,840 --> 00:48:40,160
Speaker 1: I think he'd get the fifteen hundred. That's feetball one

945
00:48:40,160 --> 00:48:52,520
Speaker 1: on one. Oh no, they'll still stack you up. Look

946
00:48:53,680 --> 00:48:57,120

00:51:36,800 --> 00:51:39,879
Speaker 1: roasted things over there. We've been fire roasting really since

990
00:51:39,920 --> 00:51:43,040
Speaker 1: eleven o'clock. On our debates back and forth whether it

991
00:51:43,160 --> 00:51:46,600
Speaker 1: be Earl Thomas, is he a legit fit for the

992
00:51:46,640 --> 00:51:49,719
Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys. Half of us think so half of us don't.

993
00:51:50,120 --> 00:51:53,399
Speaker 1: It's been a fun show to say the least. Heck

994
00:51:53,400 --> 00:51:56,120
Speaker 1: My Harrison, Isaiah stand back, Rob Phillips, I'm Kyle Yeoman's

995
00:51:56,160 --> 00:52:00,920
Speaker 1: here for talking Cowboys every Tuesday at eleven o'clock. And guys,

996
00:52:01,239 --> 00:52:02,719
Speaker 1: we were kind of talking about it in the break

997
00:52:02,719 --> 00:52:04,880
Speaker 1: a little bit. We're gonna talk about expectations here in

998
00:52:04,880 --> 00:52:07,320
Speaker 1: about four or five minutes before we close out the show.

999
00:52:07,719 --> 00:52:12,120
Speaker 1: But Isaiah brought up a fantastic point throughout the commercial

1000
00:52:12,120 --> 00:52:14,840
Speaker 1: break about Earl Thomas and some of the other teams

1001
00:52:14,840 --> 00:52:17,640
Speaker 1: that are interested in bringing in Earl Thomas. One of

1002
00:52:17,680 --> 00:52:19,920
Speaker 1: them is in your own state, the other ones in

1003
00:52:19,920 --> 00:52:22,080
Speaker 1: your own division. You've got the Houston Texans and the

1004
00:52:22,120 --> 00:52:26,080
Speaker 1: Philadelphia Eagles who have reportedly shown some interest in potentially

1005
00:52:26,120 --> 00:52:29,920
Speaker 1: signing Earl Thomas to a deal. And I don't know

1006
00:52:29,960 --> 00:52:32,200
Speaker 1: about you, guys, but that kind of makes me queasy

1007
00:52:32,320 --> 00:52:35,200
Speaker 1: thinking about Earl Thomas in an Eagle's uniform. And Isaiah,

1008
00:52:35,280 --> 00:52:37,040
Speaker 1: I know you talked about it as well. Rob. You

1009
00:52:37,080 --> 00:52:39,720
Speaker 1: even have an example of going back almost a decade

1010
00:52:39,960 --> 00:52:42,880
Speaker 1: of something very similar. But Isaiah will start with you,

1011
00:52:43,480 --> 00:52:46,240
Speaker 1: how much do you not want to see Earl Thomas

1012
00:52:46,239 --> 00:52:50,840
Speaker 1: in an Eagle's uniform. Listen up, I promise you Earl

1013
00:52:51,719 --> 00:52:54,240
Speaker 1: next to my boy I grew up with Nate Robinson.

1014
00:52:54,480 --> 00:52:57,480
Speaker 1: Earl Thomas is the most competitive individual that I have

1015
00:52:57,560 --> 00:53:01,000
Speaker 1: ever known in my life. And Earl, if Dick Dallas

1016
00:53:01,000 --> 00:53:03,840
Speaker 1: Cowboys don't sign him, if they elect to not sign

1017
00:53:03,920 --> 00:53:06,319
Speaker 1: him simply just off of I just don't feel like

1018
00:53:06,320 --> 00:53:10,200
Speaker 1: it right now, Earl will make the Cowboys life a living.

1019
00:53:12,120 --> 00:53:16,080
Speaker 1: He will come back and sign with Philly just so

1020
00:53:16,120 --> 00:53:18,879
Speaker 1: he can show up twice a year and hit your

1021
00:53:18,920 --> 00:53:22,040
Speaker 1: receivers in their chest as hard as he can. I

1022
00:53:22,080 --> 00:53:24,600
Speaker 1: promise you that's how competitive is. Due to this, and

1023
00:53:24,719 --> 00:53:27,200
Speaker 1: every time he goes to train, every time he goes

1024
00:53:27,200 --> 00:53:29,680
Speaker 1: to lift weights and take reps, he is going to

1025
00:53:29,760 --> 00:53:31,600
Speaker 1: have that dog on a helmet on. I don't care

1026
00:53:31,600 --> 00:53:35,320
Speaker 1: if he has. He is going to be thinking about

1027
00:53:35,320 --> 00:53:38,040
Speaker 1: the opportunity to run across the field and hits your

1028
00:53:38,040 --> 00:53:40,560
Speaker 1: favorite player in the chest. I'm just telling you, telling

1029
00:53:40,560 --> 00:53:43,920
Speaker 1: you that's act I said. Let me say this to you.

1030
00:53:43,960 --> 00:53:48,320
Speaker 1: Then if he does go to Philly, what Ezekiel Elliott

1031
00:53:48,320 --> 00:53:50,400
Speaker 1: will do will do what Henry did to him and

1032
00:53:50,440 --> 00:53:54,160
Speaker 1: turn him to a lead blocker. Oh the defensive play. Okay,

1033
00:53:54,239 --> 00:53:57,520
Speaker 1: that's what I'm telling you, don't hey, and guess what

1034
00:53:57,560 --> 00:53:59,560
Speaker 1: they both they both gonna be waking up then because

1035
00:53:59,600 --> 00:54:04,040
Speaker 1: I tell you what's coming in. That's what. If he

1036
00:54:04,080 --> 00:54:06,080
Speaker 1: goes to spite us has to be patty, then that's

1037
00:54:06,080 --> 00:54:07,880
Speaker 1: on him. But for me, I feel like if he

1038
00:54:07,920 --> 00:54:10,919
Speaker 1: doesn't come to Dallas, the I think the one place

1039
00:54:10,960 --> 00:54:14,200
Speaker 1: that he would land would be in Massachusetts with Billy.

1040
00:54:14,440 --> 00:54:17,000
Speaker 1: You know, that's the and that's the that's the place

1041
00:54:17,120 --> 00:54:19,920
Speaker 1: there no think about it. Since week since we've opened

1042
00:54:19,960 --> 00:54:22,200
Speaker 1: up the door for Philly. Let's talk about what you

1043
00:54:22,320 --> 00:54:24,640
Speaker 1: believe the Patriots would do they bringing in with the

1044
00:54:24,719 --> 00:54:28,000
Speaker 1: mccaudy brothers in lockdown stid. Yes, on the other side,

1045
00:54:28,360 --> 00:54:30,000
Speaker 1: what do you what do you think they're gonna do?

1046
00:54:30,560 --> 00:54:33,560
Speaker 1: That's a man? What's what's that gift of Belichick walking

1047
00:54:33,760 --> 00:54:36,080
Speaker 1: like with with purpose, like through the tunnel? You know

1048
00:54:36,200 --> 00:54:37,960
Speaker 1: that was that was a popular gift when they said

1049
00:54:38,000 --> 00:54:41,879
Speaker 1: Earl was getting released by Baltimore. Let h I don't

1050
00:54:41,920 --> 00:54:44,600
Speaker 1: know about maybe San Francisco could they. I don't know

1051
00:54:44,719 --> 00:54:47,480
Speaker 1: what the reports San San Francis, I would say, if

1052
00:54:47,480 --> 00:54:49,720
Speaker 1: I had to guess, Houston's have known because Billy o'brain

1053
00:54:50,040 --> 00:54:53,240
Speaker 1: haven't played for him in New England. His temper and earl,

1054
00:54:53,719 --> 00:54:55,360
Speaker 1: that's not gonna work well together. I can tell you

1055
00:54:55,440 --> 00:54:57,239
Speaker 1: that right now. They would get into it every single day,

1056
00:54:57,239 --> 00:54:59,919
Speaker 1: and that would be as volunteer apparently as the balls

1057
00:55:00,040 --> 00:55:03,319
Speaker 1: more was. But San Francisco the opportunity to go back

1058
00:55:03,320 --> 00:55:07,080
Speaker 1: and play with his boy Richard Sherman Alisabetter step up.

1059
00:55:07,160 --> 00:55:09,239
Speaker 1: I'm telling you you will see him again, whether it's

1060
00:55:09,239 --> 00:55:11,319
Speaker 1: twice a year, whether it's in the playoffs, You're gonna

1061
00:55:11,320 --> 00:55:15,040
Speaker 1: see this dude again if you don't sign him. So please, please, please,

1062
00:55:15,400 --> 00:55:19,160
Speaker 1: don't make this mistake. I'm apparently hearing them. McCarthy's kind

1063
00:55:19,160 --> 00:55:21,080
Speaker 1: of on it all right. He might be just you know,

1064
00:55:21,120 --> 00:55:23,960
Speaker 1: just playing you know politics, Jerry Jones. I know Jerry

1065
00:55:24,000 --> 00:55:26,799
Speaker 1: wants him. I know Jerry wants him. Go ahead and

1066
00:55:26,800 --> 00:55:29,400
Speaker 1: grab grab that pan, Jerry, and go ahead and sign up.

1067
00:55:30,040 --> 00:55:32,960
Speaker 1: You gotta do the Jerry impersonation, I say, while we're here,

1068
00:55:36,280 --> 00:55:42,719
Speaker 1: you don't huh oh no, I'm just saying this thing,

1069
00:55:42,760 --> 00:55:44,920
Speaker 1: and this is wild. This reminds me of twenty eleven

1070
00:55:44,960 --> 00:55:48,560
Speaker 1: after the lockout, when same thing, everybody just finally got

1071
00:55:48,600 --> 00:55:50,799
Speaker 1: together for practice in the summer. He was coming off

1072
00:55:50,800 --> 00:55:53,800
Speaker 1: the lockout. Free agency was happening at the same time,

1073
00:55:54,120 --> 00:55:57,000
Speaker 1: and awesome while was a guy the Cowboys were interested

1074
00:55:57,040 --> 00:55:58,799
Speaker 1: in as a free agent, same with Philly, and he

1075
00:55:58,800 --> 00:56:01,640
Speaker 1: wound up in Philly, and like Isaiah said that, I'm like,

1076
00:56:01,640 --> 00:56:09,000
Speaker 1: oh man, this is like deja vu. We'll see he yeah.

1077
00:56:09,120 --> 00:56:11,520
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm talking about Philly players right now, and

1078
00:56:11,520 --> 00:56:14,239
Speaker 1: it's something about is making me nauseous. I just you know,

1079
00:56:15,840 --> 00:56:18,040
Speaker 1: you know, Assawa was a guy that we definitely wanted.

1080
00:56:18,080 --> 00:56:20,760
Speaker 1: Philly paid way too much for him and we didn't.

1081
00:56:20,880 --> 00:56:22,279
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't think that he would have made

1082
00:56:22,320 --> 00:56:25,799
Speaker 1: a bigger difference on our team dating back then. It's

1083
00:56:25,840 --> 00:56:27,560
Speaker 1: just the thing we need to pull the trigger on

1084
00:56:27,600 --> 00:56:30,479
Speaker 1: this guy, period. And looking over looking at the league,

1085
00:56:30,520 --> 00:56:33,920
Speaker 1: looking at the other safeties, but just talking about our roster,

1086
00:56:34,080 --> 00:56:37,320
Speaker 1: our depth chart. He adds a dimension to our defense

1087
00:56:37,320 --> 00:56:40,279
Speaker 1: that I don't believe that we have. And it's just

1088
00:56:40,560 --> 00:56:43,279
Speaker 1: it seems like he would be a natural fit. All

1089
00:56:43,280 --> 00:56:47,080
Speaker 1: of the pressure is on Earl. He's the one that

1090
00:56:47,200 --> 00:56:50,080
Speaker 1: has to dispel the myths and the rumors of him

1091
00:56:50,120 --> 00:56:53,160
Speaker 1: being a bad teammate. So this is the place that

1092
00:56:53,200 --> 00:56:55,040
Speaker 1: he wants to be He's gonna be on his best

1093
00:56:55,080 --> 00:56:58,040
Speaker 1: behavior in Dallas. Yeah, he has to be in And

1094
00:56:58,120 --> 00:57:00,359
Speaker 1: I think I don't know if all the pressures on Earle.

1095
00:57:00,440 --> 00:57:02,640
Speaker 1: I just think some of the pressures on Earle and

1096
00:57:03,120 --> 00:57:04,680
Speaker 1: whether or not he's going to come to Dallas, and

1097
00:57:04,760 --> 00:57:07,239
Speaker 1: if he doesn't, then where is that competitive edge going

1098
00:57:07,280 --> 00:57:09,520
Speaker 1: to go for him? But as we're running out of time,

1099
00:57:09,800 --> 00:57:12,160
Speaker 1: I do want to ask this question because we're seeing

1100
00:57:12,160 --> 00:57:15,239
Speaker 1: it in practice, Rob and I throughout the entirety of

1101
00:57:15,280 --> 00:57:19,680
Speaker 1: training camp. But it's the install it's the preparation for

1102
00:57:19,720 --> 00:57:23,000
Speaker 1: a new coaching staff without a preseason, and it has

1103
00:57:23,040 --> 00:57:26,240
Speaker 1: me a little nervous. But should there be any lowered

1104
00:57:26,280 --> 00:57:30,480
Speaker 1: expectations potentially a slow start to the season, even with

1105
00:57:30,520 --> 00:57:35,240
Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy potentially not having that lead in not having

1106
00:57:35,280 --> 00:57:39,320
Speaker 1: that preseason to really install a system moving forward, Rob,

1107
00:57:40,960 --> 00:57:43,720
Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy said no. He was asking about not a

1108
00:57:43,720 --> 00:57:45,280
Speaker 1: couple of days ago, and he said, I don't want

1109
00:57:45,280 --> 00:57:47,880
Speaker 1: to hear that crap. In so many words, he said,

1110
00:57:47,880 --> 00:57:49,720
Speaker 1: the expectations are to go win a title. That's what

1111
00:57:49,760 --> 00:57:52,000
Speaker 1: he was hired for, and that's what he said. The

1112
00:57:52,040 --> 00:57:56,840
Speaker 1: expectations are every team he's ever had. It is a challenge,

1113
00:57:56,880 --> 00:57:59,200
Speaker 1: but look, it's a challenge for all thirty two teams

1114
00:57:59,240 --> 00:58:02,680
Speaker 1: in the league. And I will say the number of

1115
00:58:02,720 --> 00:58:05,040
Speaker 1: the veterans they brought in I think will help the

1116
00:58:05,080 --> 00:58:07,400
Speaker 1: transition because you bring in guys that have done this

1117
00:58:07,440 --> 00:58:11,800
Speaker 1: for years and years and Everson Griffin, Poe, I think

1118
00:58:11,840 --> 00:58:14,200
Speaker 1: that helps. You're not relying on as many young guys,

1119
00:58:14,320 --> 00:58:17,040
Speaker 1: and I you know, I think they've got an opportunity

1120
00:58:17,040 --> 00:58:18,720
Speaker 1: to win a lot of football games because I think

1121
00:58:18,760 --> 00:58:24,120
Speaker 1: what they've done on defense in particular. Heckma, Yeah. The

1122
00:58:24,200 --> 00:58:27,320
Speaker 1: one thing about retaining Kelly Moore that really gives me

1123
00:58:27,400 --> 00:58:30,760
Speaker 1: confidence about our offense because the terminology is going to

1124
00:58:30,840 --> 00:58:32,680
Speaker 1: be the same, and I believe that he's going to

1125
00:58:32,760 --> 00:58:35,680
Speaker 1: be the voice between Dak and Mike McCarthy as far

1126
00:58:35,680 --> 00:58:39,160
Speaker 1: as Bridge and that terminology. So it's not I have

1127
00:58:39,320 --> 00:58:42,640
Speaker 1: no doubts about that. And I believe that Mike McCarthy

1128
00:58:43,280 --> 00:58:46,360
Speaker 1: has his heart in the right place by saying, look, Kellen,

1129
00:58:46,440 --> 00:58:48,959
Speaker 1: because of what's going on with the season, it would

1130
00:58:49,000 --> 00:58:50,960
Speaker 1: seem like it would be better for you to start

1131
00:58:51,000 --> 00:58:54,600
Speaker 1: things off. He's learning that offense in those terminologies as well,

1132
00:58:54,680 --> 00:59:00,480
Speaker 1: and he did express that at his pressor. Also, the

1133
00:59:00,600 --> 00:59:04,960
Speaker 1: expectation is championship. That's that's not even there's no question

1134
00:59:05,000 --> 00:59:07,760
Speaker 1: about it. There's you had. You brought veterans on this team,

1135
00:59:07,760 --> 00:59:09,880
Speaker 1: not because you want to build this team for the future.

1136
00:59:10,080 --> 00:59:11,840
Speaker 1: You brought veterans on this team because you want to

1137
00:59:11,880 --> 00:59:13,600
Speaker 1: dog on ring and it's been too long and you

1138
00:59:13,640 --> 00:59:15,800
Speaker 1: want that. You want that other you're tied up. You

1139
00:59:15,920 --> 00:59:18,080
Speaker 1: tied up. Another organization up in the Northeast have a

1140
00:59:18,160 --> 00:59:20,880
Speaker 1: more than you. So that's that's what the conversation is.

1141
00:59:21,120 --> 00:59:23,360
Speaker 1: Um the expectation. You brought in this amazing coach, but

1142
00:59:23,400 --> 00:59:25,000
Speaker 1: he hasn't. I don't even know how he has his

1143
00:59:25,080 --> 00:59:27,880
Speaker 1: staff together, but he has a ridiculous staff. You brought

1144
00:59:27,920 --> 00:59:30,440
Speaker 1: in veteran guys to play. You shot up your defense

1145
00:59:30,440 --> 00:59:32,840
Speaker 1: where you were lacking at you have you added another

1146
00:59:32,840 --> 00:59:35,800
Speaker 1: weapon on the offense. You retain the same officsive coordinator

1147
00:59:35,840 --> 00:59:38,120
Speaker 1: so that you have symmetry there and there's no learning curve.

1148
00:59:38,760 --> 00:59:41,240
Speaker 1: This team is set up to ball out, Go out,

1149
00:59:41,360 --> 00:59:43,560
Speaker 1: sign this dude another pro bowler to add on to

1150
00:59:43,640 --> 00:59:45,640
Speaker 1: your defense and secure this thing and let's go play

1151
00:59:45,640 --> 00:59:49,160
Speaker 1: some ball. I love it. I love it. And that's

1152
00:59:49,200 --> 00:59:52,840
Speaker 1: the best way to end this version of Talking Cowboys.

1153
00:59:52,840 --> 00:59:55,480
Speaker 1: As we are out of time, and before we let

1154
