We are back from 0:00:51.840 --> 0:00:55.000 training camp and we're about to get into the season, 0:00:55.080 --> 0:00:57.640 and this is our These are our two shows this week, 0:00:57.640 --> 0:00:59.840 but next week we will be going full tilt. 0:01:00.240 --> 0:01:00.760 Every day. 0:01:00.760 --> 0:01:03.760 We'll be on the air talking Cowboys football. Here at 0:01:03.800 --> 0:01:06.880 Cowboys Break. Got my normal crew here with me. We're 0:01:06.959 --> 0:01:09.000 back at studio, so we got a lot to talk 0:01:09.000 --> 0:01:10.800 about today. I don't want to waste too much time. 0:01:10.959 --> 0:01:12.959 We have to start, obviously, with the biggest story in 0:01:13.319 --> 0:01:17.240 Cowboys news, Ceedee Lamb. He gets a four year extension 0:01:17.240 --> 0:01:19.520 one hundred and thirty six million dollars. That's an average 0:01:19.520 --> 0:01:21.200 of thirty four million per year. 0:01:22.120 --> 0:01:22.960 Just under. 0:01:25.120 --> 0:01:29.200 Wow, I'm drawing a blank on Justin Jefferson, just under Jefferson. 0:01:29.120 --> 0:01:36.160 Just under Justin Jefferson, I know, and things just escape 0:01:36.200 --> 0:01:38.640 you in this in the moments, one hundred million guaranteed 0:01:38.800 --> 0:01:40.040 thirty eight million signing bonus. 0:01:40.040 --> 0:01:43.000 That is a record for non quarterbacks in the NFL. 0:01:43.720 --> 0:01:45.720 Let's go first around the table, give me your thoughts 0:01:45.760 --> 0:01:46.800 on the deal itself. 0:01:46.840 --> 0:01:47.440 Let's start with you. 0:01:47.600 --> 0:01:50.040 Yeah, I wrote yesterday the timing is certainly not perfect, 0:01:50.120 --> 0:01:53.480 but it is still timely thirteen days before the season opener, 0:01:53.560 --> 0:01:55.400 so there's still some time to be able to get 0:01:55.560 --> 0:01:58.040 you know, Ceedee Lamb back integrated with the offense, and 0:01:58.160 --> 0:02:00.480 you know, get him back integrated with Dak pre Scott. 0:02:00.960 --> 0:02:02.920 But certainly, I mean you look at the numbers and 0:02:03.040 --> 0:02:04.720 the numbers that they fell upon. I mean, this is 0:02:04.760 --> 0:02:06.840 a deal that probably could have gotten done in April 0:02:06.880 --> 0:02:09.399 and we would have a lot more preparation going into 0:02:09.400 --> 0:02:12.799 the season looking at CD Lamb and Dak Prescott. But nevertheless, 0:02:12.919 --> 0:02:15.800 you know, CD waits out, his representation waits out, and 0:02:15.800 --> 0:02:17.480 they end up getting the deal that they wanted at 0:02:17.480 --> 0:02:19.120 the end of the day. So you know, who's to 0:02:19.160 --> 0:02:20.880 say that the Cowboys were willing to make that deal 0:02:20.919 --> 0:02:24.520 back in April, but nevertheless, they'll have a couple of 0:02:24.520 --> 0:02:27.320 practice opportunities. It'll start as early as today. He's going 0:02:27.400 --> 0:02:29.120 to have to come in, get his physical done, get 0:02:29.120 --> 0:02:31.160 the paperwork done in order to be on the field 0:02:31.160 --> 0:02:33.600 tonight for the walk through practice. But that could be 0:02:33.600 --> 0:02:35.600 the first opportunity for Dak and CD to at least 0:02:35.639 --> 0:02:38.960 get some routes back on air again together. But yeah, 0:02:39.680 --> 0:02:41.880 I don't see him being a sixty play guy on 0:02:42.600 --> 0:02:45.959 in Week one against the Cleveland, but he's definitely gonna 0:02:45.960 --> 0:02:47.679 be integrated in the offense. I'm not sitting here saying 0:02:47.680 --> 0:02:49.880 he's not gonna start or anything, but I think just 0:02:49.880 --> 0:02:52.519 with the way this team has constructed this offensive game 0:02:52.560 --> 0:02:55.600 plan while they've been away at training camp, CD's gonna 0:02:55.639 --> 0:02:57.520 have to figure out how to get himself back integrated 0:02:57.560 --> 0:02:59.880 within that. He's the most important piece of that. So 0:03:00.639 --> 0:03:02.600 you know, I think he's a still look for Brandon 0:03:02.639 --> 0:03:06.120 Cook's opportunity, still look for Jalen Tolbert, Jake Ferguson opportunities 0:03:06.120 --> 0:03:07.959 in Week one against Cleveland. But I think as you 0:03:08.000 --> 0:03:10.320 start getting closer to Week three and week four, that's 0:03:10.320 --> 0:03:12.480 when you really start to see CD Lamb fully back 0:03:12.520 --> 0:03:15.320 one integrate it back into the offense. But it's a 0:03:15.400 --> 0:03:17.560 huge deal. And you look at CD and his deal 0:03:17.600 --> 0:03:19.920 and just what he got from a numbers perspective, I mean, 0:03:19.960 --> 0:03:22.160 the the investment in his future is certainly there. 0:03:23.280 --> 0:03:25.040 They might need him one hundred and twenty plays in 0:03:25.040 --> 0:03:28.519 that Cleveland game. Yeah, you know, yeah, it's gonna be 0:03:28.560 --> 0:03:30.080 about when we get into that, it's gonna be about 0:03:30.080 --> 0:03:32.040 how you block that front seven. And they got some 0:03:32.080 --> 0:03:34.400 secondary guys that you're gonna have to talk about as well. 0:03:34.440 --> 0:03:37.640 But uh, good for CD Lamb, good for the team. 0:03:38.120 --> 0:03:42.880 The timing is Nick mentioned, probably not great, but you know, ultimately, 0:03:43.040 --> 0:03:45.480 you know, CD did what he had to do and 0:03:45.800 --> 0:03:48.080 he got the deal he wanted. The Cowboys, you know, 0:03:48.120 --> 0:03:51.400 they're they're going to now find ways to you know, 0:03:51.440 --> 0:03:53.880 the structure of the deal, find ways to get the 0:03:53.880 --> 0:03:56.760 cap numbers down, find ways to help with savings in 0:03:56.800 --> 0:04:00.280 the future going forward. So it's never easy. These things, 0:04:00.320 --> 0:04:03.280 these big deals are never easy to do. And you know, 0:04:03.480 --> 0:04:06.480 I could say it's the best part of the whole 0:04:06.520 --> 0:04:09.760 thing is that they got the player in and but 0:04:09.880 --> 0:04:12.520 what we learned about the player being out that there's 0:04:12.520 --> 0:04:15.440 some other guys with the growth of Tolbert, you know 0:04:15.520 --> 0:04:18.560 potentially what he can help you with. With Brooks, what 0:04:18.640 --> 0:04:21.360 you can maybe get out of him, we saw what 0:04:21.440 --> 0:04:24.240 Cooks can do, So yeah, it was it was. It 0:04:24.279 --> 0:04:27.200 was a learning experience for the Cowboys as far as 0:04:27.240 --> 0:04:29.839 getting the deal done. It was a learning experience to 0:04:29.960 --> 0:04:32.600 get to evaluate their wide receivers. So maybe a win 0:04:32.720 --> 0:04:34.000 on both sides that way. 0:04:34.839 --> 0:04:37.719 Yeah, I'm very excited, very happy that we can finally 0:04:37.839 --> 0:04:41.080 stop talking about it and guessing and now we can 0:04:41.120 --> 0:04:44.600 get to work. He is very much well deserving of 0:04:44.640 --> 0:04:47.240 that money. I think he's definitely has earned every single 0:04:47.560 --> 0:04:51.200 penny of it. But it is one of those things 0:04:51.200 --> 0:04:53.200 that it's still in the back of my mind that 0:04:53.240 --> 0:04:55.880 it does concern me. You know, every time a player 0:04:55.960 --> 0:04:58.560 gets a big contract like that and then they come in, 0:04:59.040 --> 0:05:02.960 the expectations get a little higher, and then versus what 0:05:03.040 --> 0:05:06.440 you're seeing on the field, you become fans and everybody 0:05:06.440 --> 0:05:09.200 you start criticizing it a lot harder and a lot 0:05:09.279 --> 0:05:11.719 more because of the amount of money that you're paying. 0:05:11.920 --> 0:05:15.040 And I just hope that his absence from training camp 0:05:15.120 --> 0:05:15.800 doesn't come and. 0:05:15.839 --> 0:05:17.120 Hurt the Cowboys in that way. 0:05:17.160 --> 0:05:19.840 I know he's a professional and he's been training, he's 0:05:19.880 --> 0:05:21.800 been doing his own workouts and all of that on 0:05:21.839 --> 0:05:25.599 his own, but it's still different. Is two weeks enough 0:05:25.600 --> 0:05:27.680 for him to get back in it and be ready 0:05:27.720 --> 0:05:29.360 for that first week in Cleveland? 0:05:29.480 --> 0:05:30.080 I don't know. 0:05:30.160 --> 0:05:32.920 We'll find out very soon, but that's something that's still 0:05:33.040 --> 0:05:35.359 kind of that everyone is going to be keeping an 0:05:35.360 --> 0:05:35.640 eye on. 0:05:35.680 --> 0:05:38.200 You know, it's an interesting point you make. I think 0:05:38.200 --> 0:05:40.120 I'm on the other end of this one. I think 0:05:40.160 --> 0:05:43.120 I'm on the other end of He's the one guy 0:05:43.160 --> 0:05:45.600 that I feel like I could pay and oh yeah, 0:05:45.200 --> 0:05:47.640 and he's going to get better. I just think that 0:05:47.760 --> 0:05:52.240 every year you watch him play, his game has gotten better. Yeah. 0:05:52.279 --> 0:05:54.640 You know what, when the first five weeks of the 0:05:54.720 --> 0:05:57.040 season last year, they're kind of like, what are we doing? 0:05:57.080 --> 0:05:59.320 And then they start to say, Okay, let's think about 0:05:59.320 --> 0:06:02.600 adjusting this, and that's when things took off for him 0:06:02.680 --> 0:06:06.839 and I just I really, I'm I'm the guy. I'm 0:06:06.920 --> 0:06:09.640 trusting Mike McCarthy on this one. When he says, Hey, 0:06:09.680 --> 0:06:11.760 this guy can run all day, and you know he 0:06:11.880 --> 0:06:14.400 wants to run all day, he wants to do I'm 0:06:14.520 --> 0:06:19.599 I totally understand the direction you're going there. My side 0:06:19.600 --> 0:06:22.200 of it is, I feel like that, like I'm not 0:06:22.240 --> 0:06:25.000 worried about the guy. I'm just not he is. He's 0:06:25.080 --> 0:06:27.320 the I think of all the guys that they're going 0:06:27.400 --> 0:06:29.719 to have with A fifty three, I think he's the 0:06:29.720 --> 0:06:32.479 guy I worry about the least of coming in and 0:06:32.520 --> 0:06:36.560 being ready to go and living up to the expectations 0:06:37.120 --> 0:06:38.760 of what this contract is going to be. 0:06:38.800 --> 0:06:41.679 You know, I think he'll keep showing up and getting better. 0:06:41.720 --> 0:06:44.960 I absolutely agree with you in that. But the only 0:06:45.000 --> 0:06:47.359 thing that I will say is is how many weeks 0:06:47.440 --> 0:06:49.480 is it going to take for him to get integrated? 0:06:49.520 --> 0:06:51.160 And again, I've seen him. 0:06:51.560 --> 0:06:53.400 I know what he can do, and I if there's 0:06:53.440 --> 0:06:56.040 anybody else that I can trust other than Zach Martin, 0:06:56.279 --> 0:06:58.559 he would be another guy that I'll be like, Okay, yeah, sure. 0:06:58.839 --> 0:07:01.479 But it is something that it is in my head. 0:07:01.560 --> 0:07:02.720 Well, I think here's thing. 0:07:02.880 --> 0:07:04.320 It's very fair. It's very fair. 0:07:04.400 --> 0:07:07.479 Yeah, and I think the integration piece doesn't bother me 0:07:07.520 --> 0:07:09.880 as much. Here's what I am a little bit and 0:07:09.880 --> 0:07:11.920 I won't even say concern, but I am keeping in 0:07:11.960 --> 0:07:15.000 the back of my mind is when you have missed 0:07:15.000 --> 0:07:17.400 off training camp. I think there is some conditioning to 0:07:17.440 --> 0:07:19.440 the body that happens. I'll give you an example. When 0:07:19.440 --> 0:07:22.320 you're when you're training for anything, you typically have to 0:07:22.360 --> 0:07:22.760 work up. 0:07:22.800 --> 0:07:24.080 You don't start if you're. 0:07:24.000 --> 0:07:26.520 Training for a marathon, Brian, you've done marathons, Yeah, you 0:07:26.560 --> 0:07:29.400 don't start on day one running thirteen miles, right. 0:07:29.520 --> 0:07:31.760 You start off slow, You start. 0:07:31.520 --> 0:07:35.160 Off with a relatively low amount of mileage, and you build, 0:07:35.200 --> 0:07:37.600 you build over time, and that allows your body to 0:07:37.680 --> 0:07:40.840 absorb the training and keeps you from getting these soft 0:07:40.840 --> 0:07:44.160 tissue injuries and those kinds of things. What I'm going 0:07:44.240 --> 0:07:47.320 to be looking at is, obviously it's two weeks before 0:07:47.320 --> 0:07:48.800 you're going to get him to the field. I think 0:07:48.800 --> 0:07:50.920 he's going to come in phenomenal shape because he looks 0:07:50.960 --> 0:07:52.280 like he's in phenomenal shape. 0:07:52.760 --> 0:07:55.000 That's not the issue. It's the football stuff. 0:07:55.040 --> 0:07:58.400 It is the movements of football that maybe he doesn't have. 0:07:58.880 --> 0:08:00.200 That is he going to work up? 0:08:00.240 --> 0:08:01.680 How are they going to make sure that he works 0:08:01.760 --> 0:08:05.080 up slowly enough to where he doesn't risk injuring himself. 0:08:05.120 --> 0:08:08.560 That's what you're verbalizing my thoughts. Yeah, yeah, you just 0:08:08.560 --> 0:08:10.960 have better English than me. But that's that's exactly what 0:08:11.160 --> 0:08:11.840 the gonna be. 0:08:11.840 --> 0:08:14.080 Like this dad in Spanish, We'll get a translator and 0:08:14.160 --> 0:08:14.880 we'll be fine. 0:08:15.080 --> 0:08:15.400 Goohead. 0:08:15.400 --> 0:08:17.440 Why do I kind of feel like that CD puts 0:08:17.520 --> 0:08:19.840 name to paper and him and Daker in the dockyard, 0:08:20.080 --> 0:08:22.520 and while everybody's off trying to figure out cuts and 0:08:22.560 --> 0:08:25.000 things like that, that they're starting to throw the ball together. 0:08:25.120 --> 0:08:28.960 I mean, I just to me and everybody, everybody's right 0:08:29.000 --> 0:08:31.320 about that. I just I just think this is a 0:08:31.400 --> 0:08:34.120 rare cat. I really do. I think this is one 0:08:34.120 --> 0:08:36.880 of those guys where if it was if it was 0:08:36.920 --> 0:08:40.920 anybody else, I would sit there and go, they're right, 0:08:41.160 --> 0:08:44.120 They're right about that. They're right. That makes sense. But 0:08:44.160 --> 0:08:46.880 with this guy, I think there's something different about this guy. 0:08:46.920 --> 0:08:50.320 I think he knew that he was going this was 0:08:50.400 --> 0:08:53.680 how if he was going to see this through, it 0:08:53.800 --> 0:08:56.320 was going to be down to the wire. I think 0:08:56.360 --> 0:09:00.200 he's prepared himself, knowing that this scene could come down 0:09:00.240 --> 0:09:02.880 to the wire, you know, and he got what he 0:09:02.920 --> 0:09:05.360 wanted out of the deal. Yeah, two weeks. To me, 0:09:06.080 --> 0:09:09.840 I'm grateful that it wasn't three days before the Cleveland game. Yeah, 0:09:10.679 --> 0:09:13.120 and then and they were all talking about he's in 0:09:13.240 --> 0:09:15.520 active this week because he's not ready and all that. 0:09:16.360 --> 0:09:18.680 You've given this guy some time, And I like what 0:09:18.720 --> 0:09:23.200 you're saying about the football readiness. I think that to me, 0:09:23.440 --> 0:09:26.880 if it was a defensive player, if it was, I 0:09:26.960 --> 0:09:30.160 would be But a guy who makes his living running 0:09:30.559 --> 0:09:33.439 and catching the way that he does, you know, we've 0:09:33.480 --> 0:09:35.640 seen I'm trying to think of some of these times. 0:09:35.640 --> 0:09:37.960 You see guys come back from things and they just 0:09:38.000 --> 0:09:39.840 immediately throw them out there and then all of a sudden, 0:09:39.880 --> 0:09:42.680 it's like they have these productive games, and you know, 0:09:42.760 --> 0:09:46.040 I just he's I just keep saying he's the last 0:09:46.200 --> 0:09:49.360 one I'm worrying about because I think that he I 0:09:49.400 --> 0:09:51.560 think he had a plan for how he was going 0:09:51.600 --> 0:09:54.120 to do this, and I think in his mind him 0:09:54.120 --> 0:09:56.560 and his agent knew this could come down to the 0:09:56.640 --> 0:10:00.280 last damn day. But we're going we're gonna get it done. 0:10:00.640 --> 0:10:02.200 I think he's gonna be ready to go when we 0:10:02.240 --> 0:10:02.640 see him. 0:10:02.679 --> 0:10:04.800 So when we are certainly in the same exact predicament 0:10:04.840 --> 0:10:06.480 with Michael Parsons next year, you're gonna have a little 0:10:06.480 --> 0:10:07.040 bit more concern. 0:10:07.720 --> 0:10:09.520 Yeah, you know what, let me let me be honest here, 0:10:10.480 --> 0:10:15.360 I was more concerned about Micah Parsons missing OTAs because 0:10:15.400 --> 0:10:16.440 it was a new defense. 0:10:17.120 --> 0:10:19.000 Then you have been about CD missing training camp. 0:10:19.160 --> 0:10:20.640 Yep, gotcha, gotcha. 0:10:20.559 --> 0:10:23.080 Just because I feel like that, you know, and you 0:10:23.080 --> 0:10:25.240 guys do a fine job of reporting here in Dallas 0:10:25.280 --> 0:10:27.680 Cowboys dot Com and everybody's talking about he had his 0:10:27.720 --> 0:10:31.840 iPad installations, all that stuff. He can follow along with 0:10:31.880 --> 0:10:34.400 what's going on. The only thing that he wasn't doing 0:10:34.480 --> 0:10:38.160 was the on the field stuff. And I'm like, like 0:10:38.200 --> 0:10:42.440 I said, if if ceed goes out there and falters, okay, 0:10:42.480 --> 0:10:46.839 you know what cooks Tolbert Ferguson. You guys picked the 0:10:46.920 --> 0:10:49.199 slack up here, you know, until we get it. I 0:10:49.480 --> 0:10:52.079 think you now, even Brooks, I think you got an 0:10:52.160 --> 0:10:55.959 idea of some guys. I'm more confident in Tolbert as 0:10:56.000 --> 0:10:59.480 a player. If something were to happen where man Lamb 0:10:59.520 --> 0:11:02.400 doesn't look right today, All my colleagues here are right 0:11:02.760 --> 0:11:04.680 about you know, you guys are all right. He just 0:11:04.720 --> 0:11:08.640 doesn't look good. Step in their tobt, get it done today, 0:11:08.800 --> 0:11:10.960 you know, step in their first and get it done today. 0:11:11.040 --> 0:11:12.800 That's where That's where I'm at with this. 0:11:12.960 --> 0:11:14.440 Yeah, I think the big key for me is and 0:11:14.520 --> 0:11:16.000 I think they do have a plan, But I think 0:11:16.040 --> 0:11:17.520 they just have to have a plan for how they 0:11:17.520 --> 0:11:20.040 get him integrated from the standpoint of getting him worked 0:11:20.120 --> 0:11:22.480 up to the level that it's going to take for 0:11:22.559 --> 0:11:24.200 him to be at the level that he normally is. 0:11:24.400 --> 0:11:26.680 And that's not about his ability, that's not about his work, 0:11:26.679 --> 0:11:29.400 that's not about his conditioning. That's more just about getting 0:11:29.440 --> 0:11:32.200 him football ready. Where everybody else has been for a 0:11:32.280 --> 0:11:35.720 month toiling every day at training camp. That has a 0:11:35.720 --> 0:11:37.800 way of building your body up. And I'm sure they 0:11:37.800 --> 0:11:39.880 have a plan for him. I think Mike mentioned something 0:11:39.920 --> 0:11:41.720 about it yesterday. This guy can run all day. He 0:11:41.800 --> 0:11:43.960 loves to run like that's that. I think they know 0:11:44.080 --> 0:11:46.280 he's going to be in condition now. I think they'll 0:11:46.280 --> 0:11:48.040 have a plan for how do they get him football 0:11:48.120 --> 0:11:50.560 ready so that they don't rush him out there so fast. 0:11:50.600 --> 0:11:52.120 Like you said, he ain't doing one hundred and twenty 0:11:52.120 --> 0:11:56.440 plays this game. It, Yeah, but you got to ease 0:11:56.520 --> 0:11:58.920 him into that a little a little bit and make 0:11:58.920 --> 0:12:02.400 sure that you don't expose him unnecessarily to the potentially injury. 0:12:02.400 --> 0:12:04.440 Well, but wear and tear on his body is not 0:12:04.559 --> 0:12:07.840 as bad as some of these guys after going through camp. 0:12:07.880 --> 0:12:11.120 After going through camp, you know, with the three games 0:12:11.120 --> 0:12:13.760 you played, the practices and stuff like that. I mean, 0:12:13.920 --> 0:12:16.640 I I just kind of feel like though that that 0:12:16.840 --> 0:12:18.720 you know, here's a guy that's going to be I 0:12:18.760 --> 0:12:21.080 think he's going to have to The thing he's going 0:12:21.120 --> 0:12:24.440 to have to guard against is going too much, right, 0:12:24.640 --> 0:12:26.640 is going as being you know, let's go, let's go 0:12:26.760 --> 0:12:27.199 throw me in. 0:12:27.160 --> 0:12:28.760 Let They may have to protect him from himself. 0:12:28.880 --> 0:12:28.920 That. 0:12:29.600 --> 0:12:32.000 Yeah, he is one of these guys that I don't 0:12:32.000 --> 0:12:33.600 think he's going to want to take it easy. 0:12:33.760 --> 0:12:33.960 Yeah. 0:12:34.040 --> 0:12:35.920 As far as as far as what he's been up to, 0:12:35.960 --> 0:12:38.839 he's been in South Florida working with various trainers here 0:12:38.840 --> 0:12:41.040 in the course of training camp. So whether that be 0:12:41.160 --> 0:12:44.680 Delfonte Diamond, his receiver worker or his receiver work specialist, 0:12:45.120 --> 0:12:47.439 and a lot of speed trainers down in South Florida. 0:12:47.640 --> 0:12:50.120 You've probably seen the videos on Instagram of him doing 0:12:50.200 --> 0:12:51.960 cuts on the beach and that's stuff tough to do. 0:12:52.000 --> 0:12:52.760 I try to do that once. 0:12:52.760 --> 0:12:55.640 Someone just running on the beach, card walking on the 0:12:55.640 --> 0:12:56.439 beach as hard. 0:13:00.120 --> 0:13:01.319 Bury all your stuff. 0:13:01.520 --> 0:13:04.360 On the beach is not hard on the beach. 0:13:05.800 --> 0:13:08.520 A footing on the beach a different story. But he 0:13:08.559 --> 0:13:10.320 has been training, that's what he's been up to. In fact, 0:13:10.320 --> 0:13:14.040 he was coming from South Florida yesterday whenever he got 0:13:14.080 --> 0:13:15.920 the phone call. So that's that he's going to be 0:13:15.960 --> 0:13:18.280 coming straight into town from South Florida. And then he's 0:13:18.320 --> 0:13:20.240 hoping to be able to step in and practice as 0:13:20.240 --> 0:13:21.760 soon as tonight. So we'll see, all. 0:13:21.720 --> 0:13:23.480 Right, we're gonna take our first break, we'll come back. 0:13:23.640 --> 0:13:25.880 I'll talk about some players that are not on this team, 0:13:25.920 --> 0:13:27.840 but maybe we'll be by the end of the day 0:13:27.920 --> 0:13:28.559 or the end of the week. 0:13:28.600 --> 0:13:30.559 We'll talk about that when we come back.

It is segment of the Break Lives WBC 0:16:26.400 --> 0:16:26.880 More Studios. 0:16:26.920 --> 0:16:28.160 At the start of the segment brought to you by 0:16:28.160 --> 0:16:33.160 blockchain dot Com. There we go, all right, we're going 0:16:33.240 --> 0:16:35.320 to talk about a couple of players that the Cowboys 0:16:35.320 --> 0:16:38.400 are reportedly going to be visiting with that they could 0:16:38.440 --> 0:16:41.080 look to maybe add and add to their roster. Bolster 0:16:41.120 --> 0:16:43.800 the roster here actually the day that they're going to 0:16:43.800 --> 0:16:45.640 be making their final cuts. In the final segment, we 0:16:45.640 --> 0:16:47.560 will get to some cuts that have already been made 0:16:47.600 --> 0:16:49.840 so as some players have already been waived. But let's 0:16:49.880 --> 0:16:51.960 start first with some of these players that are coming 0:16:52.000 --> 0:16:56.640 in for visits. Let's talk about Dalvincook running back, very 0:16:56.680 --> 0:16:59.880 productive running back throughout his career in Minnesota, had some 0:17:01.160 --> 0:17:03.480 I don't know, just not much production, but I don't 0:17:03.520 --> 0:17:05.520 think he had a lot of opportunity there with the Jets. 0:17:06.400 --> 0:17:09.000 Did end up with the Ravens last year and had 0:17:09.000 --> 0:17:11.400 some pretty decent moments. Give me a scattering point, Brian. 0:17:11.400 --> 0:17:12.840 If you're going to give a scattering report on this guy, 0:17:12.840 --> 0:17:13.600 woae to be Yeah. 0:17:13.600 --> 0:17:16.320 I think this is a little bit quicker Ezekiel Elliott, 0:17:16.960 --> 0:17:20.439 and I think that I think that you have a 0:17:20.440 --> 0:17:25.560 little bit better quickness and power with Rico, Dawdle and Vaughn. 0:17:25.640 --> 0:17:28.199 You have more explosiveness with the player. So to me, 0:17:28.359 --> 0:17:31.320 there's probably two of the three current running backs that 0:17:31.400 --> 0:17:34.080 I would have on my fifty three. I didn't include 0:17:34.119 --> 0:17:36.320 Davis in there, but I kind of feel like that 0:17:36.320 --> 0:17:38.200 that might be the three that we're dealing with here 0:17:38.280 --> 0:17:43.760 right now. This guy is It's more he's got the 0:17:43.880 --> 0:17:47.440 vision still, he can make the quick decision. I think 0:17:47.440 --> 0:17:49.800 he needs to be going straight ahead. I just don't 0:17:49.840 --> 0:17:51.560 think there's a lot of I don't think there's no 0:17:51.640 --> 0:17:54.840 longer that he can make those violent cuts that he 0:17:54.880 --> 0:18:01.000 once made in his day. He's you know, they they 0:18:01.119 --> 0:18:04.520 kind of use him like as when they'll throw him 0:18:04.560 --> 0:18:06.560 the ball in the move. That's a good thing for him. 0:18:06.880 --> 0:18:09.040 But when you hand him the ball and you get 0:18:09.119 --> 0:18:12.320 him to start to go wide, you could keep him 0:18:12.320 --> 0:18:15.280 going wide. He doesn't have that ability to turn that 0:18:15.440 --> 0:18:18.560 corner like he once did, and there was, you know, 0:18:18.960 --> 0:18:22.200 the inside pursuit was getting him and the Jets. As 0:18:22.200 --> 0:18:25.000 you mentioned, Derek not really blocking for him very much. 0:18:25.200 --> 0:18:28.600 Plays in a playoff game with the Ravens. Better blocking 0:18:28.720 --> 0:18:31.000 up front has a long run. It was just a 0:18:31.040 --> 0:18:33.840 really kind of a straight ahead, well blocked played, He's 0:18:33.880 --> 0:18:37.240 going to get what what's ever in front of him. 0:18:37.480 --> 0:18:40.560 So I was a little bit a little bit more 0:18:40.720 --> 0:18:44.359 dancing with the Ravens in the hole, but and he 0:18:44.440 --> 0:18:47.240 can't afford to do that. I kind of feel like 0:18:47.320 --> 0:18:50.800 you're looking at this as we used to call this 0:18:51.160 --> 0:18:54.640 when I was with Parcels, he called the emergency team 0:18:54.720 --> 0:18:58.080 the tidewater board because of the Triple A for the 0:18:58.200 --> 0:19:01.880 Yankees was tidewater, and so he was like, Okay, that's 0:19:01.920 --> 0:19:05.000 our tidewater team. I think they're looking at this guy 0:19:05.080 --> 0:19:08.479 right now. Is okay, where is he shape wise? And 0:19:08.520 --> 0:19:11.880 could this be an emergency guy going forward? I don't know. 0:19:11.880 --> 0:19:14.879 They So you're saying, don't sign him now, wait something 0:19:14.920 --> 0:19:15.280 comes up. 0:19:15.840 --> 0:19:18.119 I think they're looking at this and just seeing where 0:19:18.160 --> 0:19:22.080 he's at. I don't know. Now things might change. But 0:19:22.200 --> 0:19:24.919 if you're thinking of Dalvin Cook as Dalvin Cook of 0:19:25.000 --> 0:19:29.160 days gone by. He's not that guy anymore. He is. 0:19:29.400 --> 0:19:32.240 It's it's it's very similar. Just like I said, probably 0:19:32.280 --> 0:19:37.280 a little bit quicker Zeke, but not much quicker. You know, 0:19:37.320 --> 0:19:39.399 you still got a guy that's going to finish forward. 0:19:39.440 --> 0:19:42.800 But is he going to make those explosive runs that 0:19:42.840 --> 0:19:45.640 we've seen in the past. No, he's not. You can 0:19:45.760 --> 0:19:49.520 start to see that defenders were getting to him and 0:19:49.560 --> 0:19:53.320 bringing him down and he wasn't breaking arm tackles and 0:19:53.359 --> 0:19:56.879 things like that, so he could still catch the football, 0:19:57.040 --> 0:19:59.920 which is good. He's not much of a pass protector 0:20:00.040 --> 0:20:02.480 when it comes to the blitz pick up stuff. But 0:20:02.600 --> 0:20:05.120 I kind of feel like though that like they're they're 0:20:05.160 --> 0:20:08.240 trying to. At least the thing that's encouraging me is 0:20:08.280 --> 0:20:12.000 they're continually looking at running back players. They're looking at 0:20:12.240 --> 0:20:15.760 possibilities here. They haven't just said, Okay, these are guys 0:20:15.800 --> 0:20:18.119 and that's what we're gonna do. So if they're if 0:20:18.119 --> 0:20:20.919 they're looking at Dalvin Cook, maybe there's some others the 0:20:20.920 --> 0:20:24.280 waiver wire, we'll see what happens. The Jets have a guy, 0:20:24.320 --> 0:20:26.359 I know, we can't get into that until they actually 0:20:26.480 --> 0:20:29.119 release the player. But the Jets have a guy that 0:20:29.160 --> 0:20:31.520 people should be interesting. I can't bring up his name, 0:20:31.520 --> 0:20:33.400 but look at the Jets roster and you can maybe 0:20:33.440 --> 0:20:36.440 figure it out. But yeah, that's that's kind of where 0:20:36.480 --> 0:20:38.439 I would I would I would venture to say that 0:20:38.520 --> 0:20:40.800 this is more of a kick the tires situation than 0:20:40.800 --> 0:20:42.360 it is bring a guy in right now. 0:20:42.440 --> 0:20:44.159 Yeah, I think it can make sense to sign him 0:20:44.160 --> 0:20:46.800 to the practice squad and you know, see if there's 0:20:46.840 --> 0:20:48.879 a need for him three four weeks into the season 0:20:48.880 --> 0:20:51.600 and see if there's an opportunity there. But you mentioned 0:20:51.800 --> 0:20:53.639 you mentioned the receiving game and being a little bit 0:20:53.720 --> 0:20:55.960 quicker than Ezekiel Elliott. The thing is Ezekiel Elliott, the 0:20:56.000 --> 0:20:57.879 receptions that he had last year and how he was 0:20:57.920 --> 0:21:01.680 able to be productive in the receipt You just take 0:21:01.720 --> 0:21:04.240 last year in a vacuum. It's way more productive than 0:21:04.280 --> 0:21:06.760 Dalvin Cook has had in any season as a receiving back. 0:21:06.840 --> 0:21:09.879 And so I think that's the extra layer that I 0:21:09.960 --> 0:21:12.600 understand the questioning around why is Ezekiel Elliott just this 0:21:12.720 --> 0:21:15.280 runaway RB one and he doesn't even have to play 0:21:15.320 --> 0:21:17.720 in the preseason And it's just fact at this point. 0:21:18.240 --> 0:21:20.600 To a certain point, I do understand the fans frustration 0:21:20.680 --> 0:21:22.119 with that. I would have liked to have seen Ezekil 0:21:22.160 --> 0:21:24.480 Elliott a little bit in the preseason, but I think 0:21:24.520 --> 0:21:26.760 this is still a guy who is versatile enough to 0:21:26.760 --> 0:21:29.159 be able to fill multiple roles. He can be that 0:21:29.160 --> 0:21:31.399 pass protector, he can be that receiving back, he can 0:21:31.440 --> 0:21:34.840 be that downhill guy, short yatage back. Whereas Daln Cook, 0:21:35.160 --> 0:21:37.080 while he may have an extra speed element to him, 0:21:37.080 --> 0:21:40.000 he can still read the the the offensive line a 0:21:40.000 --> 0:21:43.000 little bit to the same point as Ezekiel Elliott can. 0:21:43.280 --> 0:21:46.199 He doesn't necessarily bring everything that Ezekiel Elliott brings in 0:21:46.240 --> 0:21:49.520 his toolbag. So for me, if I'm looking at that, okay, 0:21:49.560 --> 0:21:51.359 I take Zeke over Dalvin Cook. I take where you 0:21:51.400 --> 0:21:53.480 go doubt over Dalvin Cook because I like his aggression 0:21:53.520 --> 0:21:55.440 a little bit more, I like his downhill nature a 0:21:55.480 --> 0:21:57.600 little bit more. And I'm taking duz Vaughan over Dalvin 0:21:57.640 --> 0:22:00.000 Cook because this running back room still does need a player, 0:22:00.600 --> 0:22:02.480 and I'm not convinced that Dalvin Cook is a playmaker 0:22:02.560 --> 0:22:05.120 after only rushing for two hundred and fourteen yards last year. 0:22:05.400 --> 0:22:08.320 And you mentioned that one run that he had with Baltimore, 0:22:08.359 --> 0:22:11.159 and it was literally one run he had it was 0:22:11.160 --> 0:22:12.840 a nice run, but the game was thirty four to 0:22:12.840 --> 0:22:15.359 ten and the game was decided by that point. I 0:22:15.440 --> 0:22:17.320 just meant, I was like, Okay, let me go back 0:22:17.320 --> 0:22:19.240 and watch last year to see if I missed anything. 0:22:19.560 --> 0:22:23.040 So maybe he wasn't getting cors lined up in correct situations. 0:22:23.040 --> 0:22:24.840 And I was right, I did miss something. He was 0:22:24.840 --> 0:22:27.280 even worse than I remembered, Like, it was not great 0:22:27.359 --> 0:22:30.159 stuff that I saw from him last year. But nevertheless, 0:22:30.200 --> 0:22:32.359 you look at the seasons before that. He was coming 0:22:32.400 --> 0:22:35.359 off of a four straight one thousand yard season, so 0:22:35.680 --> 0:22:38.040 he's not that far removed from being a really productive 0:22:38.080 --> 0:22:41.600 back in this league. It's just what happened last year. 0:22:41.680 --> 0:22:43.760 Was it, you know, kind of a fluke incident, or 0:22:43.800 --> 0:22:45.920 can he get back in the team, get back in conditioning, 0:22:46.160 --> 0:22:48.040 and after three four weeks on the practice squad be 0:22:48.080 --> 0:22:49.520 able to make his way and be able to make 0:22:50.280 --> 0:22:52.040 a name for himself on the team. But as of 0:22:52.080 --> 0:22:53.800 right now, I'm not buying a whole lot into this. 0:22:54.600 --> 0:22:57.080 Yeah, I think, I mean, it's still good that it's happening, 0:22:57.320 --> 0:23:00.480 just to check him out and visit and have an 0:23:00.480 --> 0:23:04.280 idea in case the time comes down the road. And 0:23:04.280 --> 0:23:06.159 I mean, we see it happen during the season, so 0:23:06.240 --> 0:23:08.560 better to do that kind of work now than in 0:23:08.600 --> 0:23:11.440 the middle of the season. But going back to Zeke 0:23:11.520 --> 0:23:15.320 and what you mentioned Nick, with fans kind of being 0:23:15.359 --> 0:23:18.919 frustrated with him not getting those reps during preseason, and 0:23:19.000 --> 0:23:22.200 I agree, but at the same time, like he's he's 0:23:22.280 --> 0:23:24.880 done the work and I'd rather just see him stay there. 0:23:24.920 --> 0:23:28.520 And what we've seen to me at training camp, I know, 0:23:28.960 --> 0:23:31.920 and I have my whole doubts with the running game 0:23:31.960 --> 0:23:35.159 as a whole in general, But with Zeke what I 0:23:35.200 --> 0:23:37.760 started seeing those last couple of weeks, I mean he 0:23:37.840 --> 0:23:41.200 looks really good. And by really good, I mean he's healthy. 0:23:41.680 --> 0:23:45.359 He looks light on his movement, like he looks quick 0:23:45.600 --> 0:23:49.520 but light, Like you know when sometimes running backs can 0:23:49.560 --> 0:23:51.879 look like heavy and it's just kind of harder to 0:23:51.920 --> 0:23:58.760 make those runs. He looks lighter, ag yeah, and he's 0:23:58.760 --> 0:24:02.120 putting that work. So anyway, that with that being said, 0:24:02.160 --> 0:24:05.600 I'm just there's a lot to look at. But Dalvin 0:24:05.640 --> 0:24:09.919 could he's not yet. He doesn't have that attractiveness that 0:24:10.000 --> 0:24:14.040 he once had when you heard his name, like oh yeah, now, 0:24:14.080 --> 0:24:16.000 it's kind of I put him in the same boat 0:24:16.040 --> 0:24:19.040 as Ezekiel Elliott and kind of like they're kind of 0:24:19.040 --> 0:24:24.000 in the same path of career, you know, so with 0:24:24.080 --> 0:24:26.560 those two, our brother have Zeke. But anyways, it's still 0:24:26.640 --> 0:24:28.399 good to check him out. But I don't know how 0:24:28.480 --> 0:24:31.000 much if that's actually something that's going to happen where 0:24:31.000 --> 0:24:31.600 they sign him. 0:24:31.600 --> 0:24:33.119 Now. I kind of feel like they can run the 0:24:33.160 --> 0:24:34.280 ball with ric o'dowdell. 0:24:34.600 --> 0:24:35.080 I do too. 0:24:35.200 --> 0:24:37.560 Yeah, we've all agreed that the issue there is not 0:24:37.640 --> 0:24:38.920 his ability, right. 0:24:38.720 --> 0:24:41.679 It's the health. It's always going to it's availability. And 0:24:41.760 --> 0:24:43.600 it's a little bit like when we talk about with 0:24:43.680 --> 0:24:46.280 Tyron Smith. You know, it's like, gosh, we know Tyron 0:24:46.359 --> 0:24:50.399 Smith's a really good player, but availability part if Rico 0:24:50.520 --> 0:24:53.639 Daddle can find a way to stay healthy with the 0:24:53.720 --> 0:24:56.920 content they had a full season, No, it's been, it's been, 0:24:56.960 --> 0:24:57.399 and that's. 0:24:57.280 --> 0:24:58.200 Been as a backup. 0:24:58.320 --> 0:25:00.680 Yeah, and I think that's a problem. And if you 0:25:01.280 --> 0:25:04.199 told me, if you told me that he was going 0:25:04.280 --> 0:25:06.720 to be able to play seventeen games in some playoffs, 0:25:06.960 --> 0:25:09.480 you know, I would say, fine, if you want to 0:25:09.480 --> 0:25:11.719 bring Zeke in and let him find you know, but 0:25:11.760 --> 0:25:14.000 you're going to figure out that that guy right over 0:25:14.040 --> 0:25:16.880 there is probably your best player, you know, when you 0:25:16.920 --> 0:25:19.919 start to run the football and the explosiveness and the 0:25:20.000 --> 0:25:23.879 quickness and all those things, it's Rico Daddle. That's the 0:25:23.960 --> 0:25:28.080 guy who's going to be But I and I understand 0:25:28.119 --> 0:25:30.440 the fans that you know it. To me, I was 0:25:30.520 --> 0:25:33.200 a little bit more frustrating because I wanted to see, Okay, 0:25:33.720 --> 0:25:36.240 what can you do? You saw him in the Rams 0:25:36.280 --> 0:25:38.719 scrimmage that on the left side they opened up some 0:25:38.760 --> 0:25:41.240 stuff and as you said, ever Zeke won't get through 0:25:41.280 --> 0:25:43.119 there got through there a couple of different times like, 0:25:43.160 --> 0:25:45.320 oh okay, here we go. I like to see that. 0:25:46.000 --> 0:25:49.560 But to me, with this offensive line the way it 0:25:49.640 --> 0:25:51.679 is with the two young kids and they're blocking the 0:25:51.720 --> 0:25:55.880 combo blocks, the backside cutoffs, maybe some improved blocking from 0:25:55.920 --> 0:25:59.080 the tight ends, this thing might have a chance to 0:25:59.119 --> 0:26:00.960 be better than what we think it's gonna be. 0:26:01.080 --> 0:26:04.120 Yeah, no doubt. Let's move on to Tyas by Bowser. 0:26:04.600 --> 0:26:05.840 He is a guy that we're that. 0:26:05.920 --> 0:26:08.240 Rumors are that he's coming in to meet with the 0:26:08.240 --> 0:26:08.960 team as well. 0:26:09.760 --> 0:26:11.200 What do you think? And give me a scatter report 0:26:11.240 --> 0:26:11.960 on Tyas. 0:26:11.640 --> 0:26:15.840 Bowser, Tyler Texas, Baby Texas. Let's go John Tyler High School. Kujo. 0:26:16.960 --> 0:26:18.800 When it comes to high school guys. 0:26:19.119 --> 0:26:21.960 This man right here who knows those guys from back 0:26:21.960 --> 0:26:24.720 when they were wee bit little guys playing football. 0:26:27.480 --> 0:26:29.520 Draft he knows these guys. 0:26:29.640 --> 0:26:31.840 It's even even an added layer of Siico because I'm 0:26:31.880 --> 0:26:33.680 also in East Texas guy, and I have a ton 0:26:33.720 --> 0:26:35.240 of family that went to John Tyler. I went to 0:26:35.280 --> 0:26:36.959 John Tyler for a semester, so it's a little bit 0:26:36.960 --> 0:26:39.480 extra even with the specific school he went to. But 0:26:40.080 --> 0:26:43.000 drafted to Baltimore back in twenty seventeen, was really productive 0:26:43.040 --> 0:26:46.639 and finally found his role after a couple of seasons 0:26:46.640 --> 0:26:49.240 in Baltimore. It was a really good rotational guy for them, 0:26:49.320 --> 0:26:51.600 and I think if you were looking at maybe rotational 0:26:51.600 --> 0:26:53.879 guys in twenty twenty, twenty twenty one, that was a 0:26:53.920 --> 0:26:56.080 guy you probably wanted to be able to elevate into 0:26:56.080 --> 0:26:58.199 a starting role if you're another team looking around. But 0:26:58.520 --> 0:27:01.119 then he battles a twenty akilles and he battles a 0:27:01.160 --> 0:27:03.720 knee injury last year, so he's coming off of back 0:27:03.720 --> 0:27:06.520 to back pretty devastating injuries. So it's does he still 0:27:06.520 --> 0:27:08.399 have the speed? Does he still have the quickness? I 0:27:08.440 --> 0:27:10.720 think that's going to be the big part of today's 0:27:10.720 --> 0:27:12.840 workout and especially the physical is going to be really 0:27:12.880 --> 0:27:14.920 important with him too. But I mean, if he does 0:27:14.920 --> 0:27:17.359 still have that same quickness and that same twitch is sure. 0:27:17.440 --> 0:27:19.680 You know, if if Karl Lawson is a guy that 0:27:19.720 --> 0:27:22.120 the team's looking around and didn't think worked out, then 0:27:22.320 --> 0:27:24.080 maybe they go get a guy with a little bit 0:27:24.080 --> 0:27:25.680 more links. He's six foot three to two hundred and 0:27:25.680 --> 0:27:28.159 fifty pounds, so he definitely has the power aspect of 0:27:28.160 --> 0:27:31.280 it as well. But for me, it's I don't know 0:27:31.280 --> 0:27:33.240 how you feel about this, Brian specifically, but when it 0:27:33.240 --> 0:27:35.199 comes to scouting guys and kind of looking at their 0:27:35.240 --> 0:27:37.400 body of work over the last couple of years, it's 0:27:37.440 --> 0:27:39.240 hard to ignore that the injuries are coming off of 0:27:39.240 --> 0:27:41.119 at the same time. So it's it's a little bit 0:27:41.200 --> 0:27:44.119 tough to actually judge what Bowser could bring to the 0:27:44.200 --> 0:27:47.280 Dallas Cowboys without being in that physical room. But if 0:27:47.280 --> 0:27:48.880 he is healthy, he has been productive. 0:27:49.000 --> 0:27:51.080 Yeah, he heard his knee, as Nick mentioned before the 0:27:51.119 --> 0:27:53.399 twenty twenty three season, So the film I looked at 0:27:53.480 --> 0:27:55.840 was twenty twenty two is what I did with him. 0:27:56.359 --> 0:27:59.240 He places as a stand up linebacker, but the Ravens 0:27:59.240 --> 0:28:01.480 have a different skin because of their odd front three 0:28:01.600 --> 0:28:04.879 four front is what they do. So but the initial 0:28:04.960 --> 0:28:07.560 quickness was good. He's got some pop off the ball. 0:28:07.800 --> 0:28:09.520 I think he needs to be more aware of the 0:28:09.560 --> 0:28:11.560 ball at him. There were times in the run game 0:28:11.920 --> 0:28:15.040 whereas Carl Lawson I felt was a better run defender 0:28:15.040 --> 0:28:16.960 than he was a pass rusher. From what I saw, 0:28:17.080 --> 0:28:21.040 I think Bowser's opposite of that. But I think he 0:28:21.160 --> 0:28:22.520 just need to be a little bit more aware with 0:28:22.560 --> 0:28:25.040 the ball at him. He has good inside rush, he'll 0:28:25.080 --> 0:28:27.919 get his He'll use his hands to free himself. I 0:28:27.960 --> 0:28:29.960 just didn't see a guy that could grab the corner. 0:28:30.119 --> 0:28:32.080 And that's what I worried about him, with a little 0:28:32.119 --> 0:28:34.359 bit that maybe that we were talking about some of 0:28:34.400 --> 0:28:36.639 the injuries and stuff. This is before the knee, but 0:28:37.359 --> 0:28:40.480 he just didn't have that ability to really grab the 0:28:40.520 --> 0:28:43.240 corner like I like him to. He'll extend on blockers. 0:28:43.280 --> 0:28:46.760 He can control guys with power. You know, they'd use 0:28:46.800 --> 0:28:48.800 him in coverage. He was playing quite a bit in 0:28:48.880 --> 0:28:52.200 some coverage. You know, he can close down that backside 0:28:52.240 --> 0:28:54.200 when free, when he has a run, he could really 0:28:54.240 --> 0:28:56.480 really close that thing. I'd just like to see a 0:28:56.480 --> 0:28:59.800 little bit better change of direction. He'll labor some in this, 0:29:00.480 --> 0:29:03.200 but He's also twenty nine years old, so a little 0:29:03.240 --> 0:29:06.560 bit older guy coming off some injuries. Like Nick's talking about, 0:29:06.600 --> 0:29:09.720 does he have the quickness? Does he have the explosiveness 0:29:09.760 --> 0:29:12.920 that he once had? This is a you know, applaud 0:29:13.120 --> 0:29:16.280 the Cowboys again. They're not standing pat They're looking at guys. 0:29:16.280 --> 0:29:19.320 They're throwing a lot at this their defense. They're throwing 0:29:19.360 --> 0:29:21.960 a lot at a lot of their their roster spots. 0:29:22.200 --> 0:29:24.040 I think that's a positive thing that they're going to 0:29:24.120 --> 0:29:26.200 continue to look at guys like this. 0:29:26.560 --> 0:29:29.800 Yeah, mention, you mentioned real quick about Carl Lawson. You 0:29:29.840 --> 0:29:31.720 just kind of threw the name out there. But how 0:29:31.800 --> 0:29:34.200 much do you think this is about what they lot 0:29:34.280 --> 0:29:37.160 Carl Lawson and maybe not necessarily thinking needs the answer 0:29:37.320 --> 0:29:37.720 a lot. 0:29:37.880 --> 0:29:41.040 And you know, Carl Lawson is one of these guys 0:29:41.080 --> 0:29:43.160 that I felt like there were some good reps in 0:29:43.200 --> 0:29:45.200 the Chargers game. When you went back and watched the 0:29:45.240 --> 0:29:47.600 tape of him playing, it was a little bit better 0:29:47.640 --> 0:29:51.320 of the dip and getting that shoulder underneath and flattening 0:29:51.400 --> 0:29:54.320 where you saw some pressure. I actually thought Mohammed was 0:29:54.360 --> 0:29:56.840 the better of When you started to talk about loss 0:29:56.880 --> 0:30:00.840 in Mohammed Wheat, I kind of you have Muhammed the 0:30:01.520 --> 0:30:05.040 role while of the edges, he was the one guy. 0:30:05.120 --> 0:30:07.760 But he is going to get suspended the first week 0:30:07.840 --> 0:30:10.560 of the season, so you could probably carry him. What 0:30:10.680 --> 0:30:13.920 was our jones last year? Running back Don Ronald Jones 0:30:13.960 --> 0:30:16.120 two games. I couldn't think of his name yesterday, but 0:30:16.120 --> 0:30:17.600 I'm like, okay, well somebody got suspended. 0:30:17.640 --> 0:30:18.080 Its Jones. 0:30:18.120 --> 0:30:18.720 I remember that. 0:30:19.320 --> 0:30:22.600 But yeah, this is you know it depending on how 0:30:22.640 --> 0:30:25.480 they they look at things, Like I say, Carl Lawson, 0:30:26.040 --> 0:30:29.120 probably you know, not in the picture for him right now. 0:30:29.200 --> 0:30:31.960 On that all right, let's sick our final break. 0:30:31.960 --> 0:30:33.720 We'll come back tuck a little bit about some of 0:30:33.760 --> 0:30:37.400 the players that we've already reported have been released, I 0:30:37.480 --> 0:30:40.000 have been waived, and then we'll talk about some other 0:30:40.040 --> 0:30:40.800 guys that we expect. 0:30:40.880 --> 0:30:42.640 Maybe we'll be on that list by end of the day. 0:30:42.640 --> 0:30:43.959 It's a tough day in the NFL.

I'll throw 0:33:44.280 --> 0:33:45.080 out some names. 0:33:45.440 --> 0:33:47.720 Can I thank Nick Harris for jumping on that. Yeah, 0:33:47.760 --> 0:33:49.720 he was all over it, right my gosh, right off 0:33:49.760 --> 0:33:50.760 the jump. Well done, sir. 0:33:50.840 --> 0:33:52.719 That's where I got this list from was from his tweets. 0:33:52.840 --> 0:33:54.520 So I mean that I looked at that thing and 0:33:54.560 --> 0:33:57.640 I'm like, here we go, get some get some names 0:33:57.720 --> 0:33:58.280 right off the jump. 0:33:58.360 --> 0:34:00.880 Got terminated jokes, but that's that's how they do. 0:34:02.360 --> 0:34:03.120 Well. Here's the thing. 0:34:03.120 --> 0:34:04.880 I'm not gonna throw throw all the names here a 0:34:04.960 --> 0:34:06.680 long list. I'm gonna throw out some of the names 0:34:06.680 --> 0:34:10.440 that just jumped out to me because Scott Eric, No, 0:34:10.640 --> 0:34:12.680 Scott's not number one, but he is on that list sure. 0:34:12.880 --> 0:34:14.359 But here's some of the guys that that will Wave 0:34:14.440 --> 0:34:18.399 that for me were interesting guys that Will waved uh 0:34:18.440 --> 0:34:21.080 and guys I think could possibly be practice squad type 0:34:21.080 --> 0:34:25.080 players if they get through Waivers linebacker, Willie Harvey, defensive back, 0:34:25.160 --> 0:34:29.760 Eric Scott defensive tackle, Albert Huggins, wide receiver, Tyring Billy Johnson, 0:34:30.239 --> 0:34:34.600 Uh defensive end, Villiami Fijoco tight end. This morning we 0:34:34.680 --> 0:34:38.880 hear Peyton Hendershot is supposedly on the outs as well. 0:34:39.360 --> 0:34:43.560 That being said, of those names, are there any surprises, uh, 0:34:43.880 --> 0:34:46.200 that of guys that that you thought maybe would have 0:34:46.200 --> 0:34:47.399 had a better shot at making the team. 0:34:47.480 --> 0:34:50.399 I thought they were maybe gonna keep Foogo around another year, 0:34:51.440 --> 0:34:53.279 and for him to be Wave injured. I'm curious what 0:34:53.320 --> 0:34:55.959 the injury ended up being, But I I it doesn't 0:34:55.960 --> 0:34:58.040 necessarily surprise me that they let go of fo Hoko, 0:34:58.160 --> 0:34:59.839 but it was I would probably say it's the more 0:34:59.840 --> 0:35:01.959 so prising of these guys, you know, I've been talking 0:35:02.000 --> 0:35:04.760 to some people, and you know, there was some questions 0:35:04.800 --> 0:35:07.400 earlier in camp, like, man, Willie Harvey might make this roster, 0:35:07.480 --> 0:35:11.520 and he's looking good, but he had a bad performance Johnson. Yeah, right, 0:35:11.880 --> 0:35:14.560 he had a bad two preseason performance in those final 0:35:14.560 --> 0:35:17.400 two preseason games. And then Buddy Johnson had an awesome 0:35:17.440 --> 0:35:21.280 game this past Saturday Saturday, and so I think Buddy 0:35:21.320 --> 0:35:23.560 Johnson's gonna end up sneaking onto this roster instead of 0:35:23.560 --> 0:35:24.880 Willie Harvey. And then you look at it from a 0:35:24.920 --> 0:35:27.120 size perspective to Willie Harvey's five to ten on a 0:35:27.120 --> 0:35:28.960 good day, and I think you just kind of need 0:35:28.960 --> 0:35:31.320 the you need that size element, especially on special teams, 0:35:31.360 --> 0:35:33.440 and that's what that depth linebacker is going to be 0:35:33.440 --> 0:35:36.200 asked to do. But I wouldn't say there was any 0:35:36.440 --> 0:35:40.680 too many major, you know, surprises, you know Tyron Billy Johnson, Yeah, 0:35:40.680 --> 0:35:42.960 he looked great early in camp, but I think Jalen 0:35:43.000 --> 0:35:45.040 Cropper and Ryan Flanoy had passed him up by the 0:35:45.120 --> 0:35:48.920 end of camp. But yeah, nothing to nothing too uh 0:35:49.360 --> 0:35:50.640 too shocking, you. 0:35:50.600 --> 0:35:52.080 Know what I want to if I could, you know, 0:35:52.160 --> 0:35:56.000 you mentioned these wide receivers give Floorinoy a lot of credit. 0:35:56.320 --> 0:35:59.360 He came a long way. He did in a in 0:35:59.440 --> 0:36:03.400 a in our hurry, because we were all at camp 0:36:03.400 --> 0:36:05.520 when we were talking and doing our shows and things 0:36:05.600 --> 0:36:07.719 like that, we were talking about boy Cropper looks good. 0:36:07.800 --> 0:36:10.319 Cropper's got a stranglehold on this thing, looking good, looking good, 0:36:10.640 --> 0:36:13.600 Billy Johnson, the name ah you mentioned. And then all 0:36:13.640 --> 0:36:17.520 of a sudden, it's like, who's this eighteen eighteen again? 0:36:17.640 --> 0:36:22.080 Eight oh? Another catch eight team? He induced faun probably 0:36:22.160 --> 0:36:27.400 came as fast and as far from where they spotted everybody. 0:36:27.560 --> 0:36:30.839 Two weeks of practice and then all of a sudden said, no, 0:36:31.040 --> 0:36:32.799 we're gonna make this team, or we're going to figure 0:36:32.800 --> 0:36:34.920 out a way to make this team by the way 0:36:34.960 --> 0:36:40.080 they played. So Fajoko being waved injured, this one's got 0:36:40.080 --> 0:36:42.840 some possibilities because what you're doing by waving him injured, 0:36:42.880 --> 0:36:46.640 you're telling the league that he's hurt, there's something wrong 0:36:46.719 --> 0:36:50.440 with him. And sometimes teams won't claim an injured player. 0:36:50.920 --> 0:36:54.080 They won't do that, And so what will happen is 0:36:54.160 --> 0:36:56.960 likely he'll revert back to your list of your ir group. 0:36:57.520 --> 0:36:59.400 And when he reverts back to your our group, you 0:36:59.440 --> 0:37:03.040 could keep him there the whole time, or you can injury, 0:37:03.080 --> 0:37:04.920 settle him and give him a couple of game checks 0:37:04.920 --> 0:37:05.719 and let him move on. 0:37:06.480 --> 0:37:08.719 So I'd be shocked if dan Quinn's looking at it. 0:37:08.800 --> 0:37:11.200 He could have a he could have a missing right arm, 0:37:11.239 --> 0:37:13.000 and I think dan Quinn would still go grab. 0:37:12.840 --> 0:37:15.160 Well, see that's what now, Maybe Dallas, maybe this is 0:37:15.200 --> 0:37:18.839 how Dallas is protecting themselves now that Dan might you know, 0:37:19.160 --> 0:37:21.480 Dan might go through the age and figure out, like, 0:37:21.840 --> 0:37:22.719 what's wrong with him? 0:37:23.160 --> 0:37:23.400 Is it? 0:37:23.920 --> 0:37:26.840 Is it a hamstring? Dallas is maybe playing a smart 0:37:26.880 --> 0:37:29.400 game here that they don't want to lose him and 0:37:29.440 --> 0:37:32.279 they're trying to make it. And these teams they fall 0:37:32.320 --> 0:37:34.560 in love with their players, you know, like if you're 0:37:34.600 --> 0:37:37.480 the New England Patriots, who has a talent poor roster, 0:37:38.040 --> 0:37:41.319 you should claim every single guy that everybody puts out there. 0:37:41.480 --> 0:37:43.960 You just get rid of your roster and start taking 0:37:44.000 --> 0:37:47.320 everybody else. You'll be better off. This is the second draft. 0:37:47.680 --> 0:37:50.560 We're about to have the second draft here. So to me, 0:37:51.920 --> 0:37:54.200 Dallas might be playing the game of okay, if we 0:37:54.239 --> 0:37:57.600 can get Fojoko through, we could keep him on injured, 0:37:57.600 --> 0:38:00.000 reserve the whole year and work on it next year. 0:38:00.880 --> 0:38:03.920 Or they could be we just need the spot and 0:38:04.840 --> 0:38:07.040 you know we're gonna give him game checks. That there's 0:38:07.080 --> 0:38:10.480 the injury settlement thing will always be a factor in 0:38:10.520 --> 0:38:14.320 this to get guys off the off the reserve lists 0:38:14.320 --> 0:38:15.040 and things like that. 0:38:16.000 --> 0:38:19.239 Well, no surprises for me, nobody surprised me. 0:38:20.920 --> 0:38:22.880 Fallko is the one. But because he was on the 0:38:22.960 --> 0:38:25.799 injury it makes me question that. And again, we got 0:38:25.800 --> 0:38:28.920 to keep in mind everything that you guys just said. Yeah, 0:38:28.960 --> 0:38:32.040 they waive these guys, and then you gotta wagh a 0:38:32.120 --> 0:38:36.440 few well today and then by tomorrow and things, they 0:38:36.440 --> 0:38:39.120 start picking guys back up to put in the practice 0:38:39.120 --> 0:38:42.000 squad and all of that. So it's still we don't 0:38:42.000 --> 0:38:46.000 know what's going to happen there. And then with Billy Johnson, 0:38:46.600 --> 0:38:48.759 just like you guys mentioned, he is a name, and 0:38:48.800 --> 0:38:52.080 to me, those last couple of weeks of training camp 0:38:52.239 --> 0:38:56.120 are what mattered the most because it's what's on your memory, 0:38:56.280 --> 0:39:00.000 that's the freshest thing that you've seen from these players, 0:39:00.080 --> 0:39:02.480 saying he's the guy that you started talking about him, 0:39:02.560 --> 0:39:05.680 hearing his name, seeing him make plays. But again, when 0:39:05.719 --> 0:39:08.719 you talk about the wide receiver group, how deep it 0:39:08.800 --> 0:39:11.799 is and how many other guys have shown up at 0:39:11.840 --> 0:39:15.760 training camp and even in the preseason making plays and 0:39:16.000 --> 0:39:19.600 are very attractive. But also you don't have spots like 0:39:19.680 --> 0:39:24.760 you're you're like keeping six guys a wide receiver. So yeah, 0:39:24.880 --> 0:39:27.919 there are other guys that I think are ahead of him. 0:39:28.000 --> 0:39:30.600 Yeah. I think something very telling, though, Derek from your 0:39:30.640 --> 0:39:33.759 list is the Eric Scott one. The fact that they're 0:39:33.880 --> 0:39:38.120 down Bland and now they're looking at this. Are they 0:39:38.200 --> 0:39:39.560 going to carry five guys? 0:39:40.000 --> 0:39:40.160 You know? 0:39:40.480 --> 0:39:44.680 Uh, Keemen Hall is still on this team as we speak. Uh, 0:39:44.840 --> 0:39:46.520 you know, we'll get the final we'll get the final 0:39:46.560 --> 0:39:50.480 cuts today at three o'clock. But Keem and Hall still there. 0:39:50.640 --> 0:39:55.200 Did they determine that Keenan Hall was better than Eric Scott. 0:39:55.120 --> 0:39:56.200 And that play? 0:39:56.400 --> 0:39:56.600 Yeah? 0:39:56.920 --> 0:39:59.960 But you know it's funny Eric Scott, like I was thinking, 0:40:00.239 --> 0:40:02.400 there's no way he's here, and then he practiced great 0:40:02.480 --> 0:40:05.480 that last Wednesday we were there. He was knocking balls 0:40:05.480 --> 0:40:08.280 down and stuff, and I was going him and span 0:40:08.560 --> 0:40:10.879 four two guys. I kind of felt like, we're off 0:40:10.920 --> 0:40:13.799 the roster all of a sudden, we're making plays. 0:40:13.520 --> 0:40:15.399 So everybody else was ready to come back home. 0:40:15.840 --> 0:40:23.120 Yeah, you know that's the point. 0:40:23.200 --> 0:40:28.759 You know, I was watching practice. Somebody watched, So we'll 0:40:28.800 --> 0:40:29.560 take your word for. 0:40:29.560 --> 0:40:33.319 It, but I take very lightly because everyone's over it. 0:40:33.360 --> 0:40:35.480 But that's the thing with Eric Scott that I kind 0:40:35.520 --> 0:40:38.840 of wonder, because they do have the injury, you know, 0:40:38.920 --> 0:40:41.239 and and maybe, like I said, maybe they tried to 0:40:41.239 --> 0:40:43.919 move Eric Scott to maybe the commanders who that's where 0:40:43.960 --> 0:40:46.440 his guys were, and the commanders are like, going, no, 0:40:46.640 --> 0:40:48.799 you're calling us because you're gonna let him go. We'll 0:40:48.840 --> 0:40:50.879 just claim him. We'll be fine here, you know, we'll 0:40:50.920 --> 0:40:53.280 be fine. But there were some times where Eric Scott 0:40:53.360 --> 0:40:56.840 made some some good plays, you know, but maybe not 0:40:57.320 --> 0:41:00.480 obviously not enough to make this final fifty three? 0:41:01.000 --> 0:41:01.799 Real quick, did you. 0:41:02.320 --> 0:41:04.600 Just a bad day to be a Johnson? Yesterday? Cam Johnson, 0:41:04.680 --> 0:41:07.480 Jason Johnson, Derel Johnson, tying, Billy Johnson all waved, but 0:41:07.520 --> 0:41:09.120 Buddy Johnson's still hanging around. 0:41:09.200 --> 0:41:11.560 All right, So real quick, before we end the show, 0:41:11.560 --> 0:41:13.480 we don't have about two minutes here. I want to 0:41:13.520 --> 0:41:14.880 go around the table. I want you to give me 0:41:14.960 --> 0:41:18.080 one name that will be a surprise by tomorrow morning. 0:41:18.120 --> 0:41:19.640 What I mean by that is either a surprise that 0:41:19.640 --> 0:41:21.879 they were no longer here or a surprise that they 0:41:21.920 --> 0:41:23.960 are here. Let's go around the table. 0:41:24.640 --> 0:41:26.920 Let me pull up the roster, so I see everybody's name. 0:41:26.960 --> 0:41:29.880 Okay, great, let's start with you. Brian, you go first. 0:41:30.400 --> 0:41:34.160 I would be surprised if gosh, I knew you were 0:41:34.160 --> 0:41:35.760 going to do this. I should have been more prepared. 0:41:36.000 --> 0:41:38.200 I think ahead of time. No, no, no, I think 0:41:38.360 --> 0:41:38.920 in the spot. 0:41:39.000 --> 0:41:43.280 I'm gonna say this. Don't be surprised if Brevin span 0:41:43.400 --> 0:41:45.320 Ford makes this team and they carry four Titans. 0:41:47.840 --> 0:41:52.520 I I if I'm betting. I'm not betting on this happening, 0:41:53.520 --> 0:41:56.040 but and this might start an argument that could go 0:41:56.080 --> 0:41:59.960 longer than two minutes. Do you need CJ. Goodwin spot? 0:42:00.080 --> 0:42:01.799 Go there, don't go there. You know what's about to 0:42:01.800 --> 0:42:05.719 happen to you. You you had a better chance to 0:42:05.840 --> 0:42:10.719 attack Taylor Swift or Beyonce than than get than putting 0:42:10.760 --> 0:42:13.080 that name out there. They're just gonna give you. Are 0:42:13.239 --> 0:42:19.200 my friend? Fair? All right, fair? And I agree with 0:42:19.239 --> 0:42:22.799 you on that shut down quick that no people will 0:42:22.800 --> 0:42:24.160 take it swing at your. 0:42:25.719 --> 0:42:27.520 I think they're gonna find a way to make Julius 0:42:27.520 --> 0:42:28.800 Wood a part of this fifty. 0:42:30.320 --> 0:42:32.000 Doing that, and I did the same thing in my 0:42:32.040 --> 0:42:33.760 final fifty three. I went in five safety. 0:42:33.800 --> 0:42:35.279 Yeah, yeah, I think they're gonna find a way. 0:42:35.360 --> 0:42:41.200 Yeah, Amber, I'm still okay, can I throw one out? 0:42:42.480 --> 0:42:45.560 I don't know that this is a surprise, but I 0:42:45.600 --> 0:42:47.239 do think he's a guy's on the bubble. I think 0:42:47.320 --> 0:42:50.200 Israel mccualmo makes this team. I think because he gives 0:42:50.239 --> 0:42:52.880 him a little bit of flexibility at corner and safety. 0:42:53.000 --> 0:42:55.840 When you pick another one, you gotta pick another. 0:42:55.560 --> 0:42:57.160 One, Jack, go ahad and go with another one, go 0:42:57.200 --> 0:42:57.759 with another one. 0:42:57.760 --> 0:42:59.680 Because that that was that's a given right there? 0:42:59.800 --> 0:43:02.359 Well is it because it is because of last week? 0:43:02.400 --> 0:43:04.480 Because we had this conversation last week, and we I 0:43:04.480 --> 0:43:07.399 think it seemed like everybody's kind of like, I don't know, Hey, 0:43:07.480 --> 0:43:08.600 I think it's pretty much done. 0:43:09.040 --> 0:43:10.600 I'll throw you one that might be and you might 0:43:10.640 --> 0:43:14.200 not like this one. Da cooda. Shepley look better than 0:43:14.400 --> 0:43:16.160 Hoffman in the game the other day. 0:43:16.239 --> 0:43:16.600 He did. 0:43:16.680 --> 0:43:19.240 I'll give you that, but I'll take Hoffman over Shepley. 0:43:19.360 --> 0:43:24.280 Okay, this is both I'm saying. Maybe I'm just throwing. 0:43:24.320 --> 0:43:26.360 I'm just throwing and started a game of Guarden and 0:43:26.440 --> 0:43:27.919 Week eight team last year playing great. 0:43:28.520 --> 0:43:30.520 Okay, I'm just saying, just keeping up. 0:43:30.560 --> 0:43:34.040 I was looking I was looking at the line A 0:43:34.200 --> 0:43:36.919 lineman and I'm like, looking, Okay, there are a few 0:43:36.920 --> 0:43:39.439 of these that it would be surprising to me if 0:43:39.480 --> 0:43:42.320 they do make the team, And I would take Hoffman 0:43:42.560 --> 0:43:44.840 in a heartbeat over Shepley. 0:43:45.040 --> 0:43:48.040 Okay for sure. Would you take Baller? Well, let's go. 0:43:49.560 --> 0:43:54.520 Ball easy. Yeah, Well to me, And by the way, again, 0:43:57.160 --> 0:43:58.360 I will tell you this. I'll tell you this. 0:43:58.520 --> 0:44:01.200 Going into this training camp, I thought it was very clear, Well, 0:44:01.280 --> 0:44:02.360 let's go A was the better player. 0:44:02.440 --> 0:44:02.840 Yeah. 0:44:02.880 --> 0:44:05.279 After this camp, there's no doubt in my mind with 0:44:05.320 --> 0:44:06.720 you that ball is a better player. 0:44:06.760 --> 0:44:09.399 I'm more versatile too, Yeah, with you, But I bet 0:44:09.760 --> 0:44:11.480 I know I act like I got sixty guys in 0:44:11.520 --> 0:44:12.680 this rockster the way I'm talking. 0:44:13.280 --> 0:44:15.160 That's what I'm saying, Like, there are some guys. 0:44:15.320 --> 0:44:19.160 That's the tricky part because even though they're not that great, 0:44:19.680 --> 0:44:22.560 you're like, okay, you need the bodies. So that's a 0:44:22.640 --> 0:44:25.600 tricky one for me. But also, are they gonna be 0:44:25.719 --> 0:44:28.680 maybe swapping our guys with somebody else's guys? 0:44:28.719 --> 0:44:30.120 I couldn't say that's a good point. 0:44:30.440 --> 0:44:31.719 Another roster cuts real. 0:44:31.680 --> 0:44:35.760 Quick, real quick. Davis on the team running back, No, No, 0:44:35.920 --> 0:44:36.440 I would. 0:44:37.200 --> 0:44:38.640 I've seen your opinion on that on Twitter. 0:44:38.680 --> 0:44:39.400 I don't agree with you. 0:44:39.400 --> 0:44:41.319 I'm sorry, I just do you think he is? I'm 0:44:41.320 --> 0:44:42.239 taking that I don't. 0:44:42.280 --> 0:44:44.959 I don't think he is, but I thought I think 0:44:45.000 --> 0:44:47.520 that maybe Davis there, they're come to the realization that 0:44:47.560 --> 0:44:49.560 they're going to have to go better at running and 0:44:49.600 --> 0:44:52.000 he can't be. See, that's why I kept Wood on 0:44:52.040 --> 0:44:55.000 the team because Wood at safety is going to play 0:44:55.160 --> 0:44:58.760 all the positions for all my running backs that don't play. 0:44:58.560 --> 0:44:59.600 Special on special teams. 0:45:00.239 --> 0:45:02.840 They can have all their special teams guys, or excuse me, 0:45:02.880 --> 0:45:06.240 all their running backs not play special teams. I'm keeping 0:45:06.280 --> 0:45:09.040 Wood around to play special teams for all those. 0:45:08.880 --> 0:45:10.239 But with their running backs, are they going to make 0:45:10.239 --> 0:45:11.839 all four active for every game? 0:45:11.880 --> 0:45:11.960 Like? 0:45:12.000 --> 0:45:15.760 That's the interesting part is all for included? I'm including Lipky. 0:45:15.800 --> 0:45:18.160 Yeah, yeah, I think now you have to because they 0:45:18.200 --> 0:45:22.120 have to activate. They have to activate Vaughan because of 0:45:22.160 --> 0:45:24.640 the we talked about injury histories and stuff like that. 0:45:24.800 --> 0:45:26.879 Let's say if Ezekiel Elliott gets hurt very first play 0:45:26.880 --> 0:45:29.560 of the game, you're going on Rico Daubell and Hunter Lipkey. Yeah, 0:45:29.760 --> 0:45:31.520 if you do, Span is an active in that situation. 0:45:31.680 --> 0:45:34.920 So it forces them to have to make Vaughn active. 0:45:34.840 --> 0:45:37.520 Right, yeah right, Which that's the part where it gets 0:45:37.520 --> 0:45:40.239 a list to have four running backs active and three 0:45:40.280 --> 0:45:42.120 of them are not playing special teams. I'm assuming lip 0:45:42.160 --> 0:45:44.719 Key will play special teams right for those other three, 0:45:44.840 --> 0:45:46.200 not that that makes it interesting. 0:45:46.280 --> 0:45:48.160 So they asked me on a fan this morning, who 0:45:48.200 --> 0:45:49.439 is guy fifty three on this team? 0:45:49.600 --> 0:45:51.480 Said yeah, I think you're right. 0:45:51.560 --> 0:45:54.160 Yeah, all right, that is a wrap. We appreciate you guys. 0:45:54.200 --> 0:45:57.359 Jonas will be back on Thursday and we'll talk about 0:45:57.360 --> 0:45:59.719 some of the wave, some of the players that get 0:45:59.760 --> 0:46:02.239 way today and well then we'll start getting ready for 0:46:02.320 --> 0:46:04.520 the season next week. We'll be into it every day 0:46:04.560 --> 0:46:07.000 starting on next Tuesday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday. Next week 0:46:07.000 --> 0:46:09.600 we'll be getting ready for Cowboys versus Browns. Until then 0:46:09.600 --> 0:46:12.320 for Nick Harris, Brian brought us Amber Garcia.
