Speaker 1: The following is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com
Speaker 1: and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
Speaker 2: Cowboys Let's go.
Speaker 3: Are you ready for a break? Yes?
Speaker 2: Are you ready for a break?
Speaker 4: Absolutely?
Speaker 2: Ready for a break?
Speaker 5: Yeah, And so much for that.
Speaker 1: It's time for The Break on Dallas Cowboys dot Com
Speaker 1: with Ambar Garcia, Brian brought Us, Nick Harris, and Derek Eagleton.
Speaker 2: It's tusy. August twenty seventh, twenty twenty four, Season twenty,
Speaker 2: episode number nineteen.
Speaker 6: Welcome to the latest edition of The Break, live from
Speaker 6: the SWBC Mortgage Studios at Star. We are back from
Speaker 6: training camp and we're about to get into the season,
Speaker 6: and this is our These are our two shows this week,
Speaker 6: but next week we will be going full tilt.
Speaker 2: Every day.
Speaker 6: We'll be on the air talking Cowboys football. Here at
Speaker 6: Cowboys Break. Got my normal crew here with me. We're
Speaker 6: back at studio, so we got a lot to talk
Speaker 6: about today. I don't want to waste too much time.
Speaker 6: We have to start, obviously, with the biggest story in
Speaker 6: Cowboys news, Ceedee Lamb. He gets a four year extension
Speaker 6: one hundred and thirty six million dollars. That's an average
Speaker 6: of thirty four million per year.
Speaker 2: Just under.
Speaker 6: Wow, I'm drawing a blank on Justin Jefferson, just under Jefferson.
Speaker 7: Just under Justin Jefferson, I know, and things just escape
Speaker 7: you in this in the moments, one hundred million guaranteed
Speaker 7: thirty eight million signing bonus.
Speaker 6: That is a record for non quarterbacks in the NFL.
Speaker 6: Let's go first around the table, give me your thoughts
Speaker 6: on the deal itself.
Speaker 2: Let's start with you.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I wrote yesterday the timing is certainly not perfect,
Speaker 4: but it is still timely thirteen days before the season opener,
Speaker 4: so there's still some time to be able to get
Speaker 4: you know, Ceedee Lamb back integrated with the offense, and
Speaker 4: you know, get him back integrated with Dak pre Scott.
Speaker 4: But certainly, I mean you look at the numbers and
Speaker 4: the numbers that they fell upon. I mean, this is
Speaker 4: a deal that probably could have gotten done in April
Speaker 4: and we would have a lot more preparation going into
Speaker 4: the season looking at CD Lamb and Dak Prescott. But nevertheless,
Speaker 4: you know, CD waits out, his representation waits out, and
Speaker 4: they end up getting the deal that they wanted at
Speaker 4: the end of the day. So you know, who's to
Speaker 4: say that the Cowboys were willing to make that deal
Speaker 4: back in April, but nevertheless, they'll have a couple of
Speaker 4: practice opportunities. It'll start as early as today. He's going
Speaker 4: to have to come in, get his physical done, get
Speaker 4: the paperwork done in order to be on the field
Speaker 4: tonight for the walk through practice. But that could be
Speaker 4: the first opportunity for Dak and CD to at least
Speaker 4: get some routes back on air again together. But yeah,
Speaker 4: I don't see him being a sixty play guy on
Speaker 4: in Week one against the Cleveland, but he's definitely gonna
Speaker 4: be integrated in the offense. I'm not sitting here saying
Speaker 4: he's not gonna start or anything, but I think just
Speaker 4: with the way this team has constructed this offensive game
Speaker 4: plan while they've been away at training camp, CD's gonna
Speaker 4: have to figure out how to get himself back integrated
Speaker 4: within that. He's the most important piece of that. So
Speaker 4: you know, I think he's a still look for Brandon
Speaker 4: Cook's opportunity, still look for Jalen Tolbert, Jake Ferguson opportunities
Speaker 4: in Week one against Cleveland. But I think as you
Speaker 4: start getting closer to Week three and week four, that's
Speaker 4: when you really start to see CD Lamb fully back
Speaker 4: one integrate it back into the offense. But it's a
Speaker 4: huge deal. And you look at CD and his deal
Speaker 4: and just what he got from a numbers perspective, I mean,
Speaker 4: the the investment in his future is certainly there.
Speaker 3: They might need him one hundred and twenty plays in
Speaker 3: that Cleveland game. Yeah, you know, yeah, it's gonna be
Speaker 3: about when we get into that, it's gonna be about
Speaker 3: how you block that front seven. And they got some
Speaker 3: secondary guys that you're gonna have to talk about as well.
Speaker 3: But uh, good for CD Lamb, good for the team.
Speaker 3: The timing is Nick mentioned, probably not great, but you know, ultimately,
Speaker 3: you know, CD did what he had to do and
Speaker 3: he got the deal he wanted. The Cowboys, you know,
Speaker 3: they're they're going to now find ways to you know,
Speaker 3: the structure of the deal, find ways to get the
Speaker 3: cap numbers down, find ways to help with savings in
Speaker 3: the future going forward. So it's never easy. These things,
Speaker 3: these big deals are never easy to do. And you know,
Speaker 3: I could say it's the best part of the whole
Speaker 3: thing is that they got the player in and but
Speaker 3: what we learned about the player being out that there's
Speaker 3: some other guys with the growth of Tolbert, you know
Speaker 3: potentially what he can help you with. With Brooks, what
Speaker 3: you can maybe get out of him, we saw what
Speaker 3: Cooks can do, So yeah, it was it was. It
Speaker 3: was a learning experience for the Cowboys as far as
Speaker 3: getting the deal done. It was a learning experience to
Speaker 3: get to evaluate their wide receivers. So maybe a win
Speaker 3: on both sides that way.
Speaker 8: Yeah, I'm very excited, very happy that we can finally
Speaker 8: stop talking about it and guessing and now we can
Speaker 8: get to work. He is very much well deserving of
Speaker 8: that money. I think he's definitely has earned every single
Speaker 8: penny of it. But it is one of those things
Speaker 8: that it's still in the back of my mind that
Speaker 8: it does concern me. You know, every time a player
Speaker 8: gets a big contract like that and then they come in,
Speaker 8: the expectations get a little higher, and then versus what
Speaker 8: you're seeing on the field, you become fans and everybody
Speaker 8: you start criticizing it a lot harder and a lot
Speaker 8: more because of the amount of money that you're paying.
Speaker 8: And I just hope that his absence from training camp
Speaker 8: doesn't come and.
Speaker 9: Hurt the Cowboys in that way.
Speaker 8: I know he's a professional and he's been training, he's
Speaker 8: been doing his own workouts and all of that on
Speaker 8: his own, but it's still different. Is two weeks enough
Speaker 8: for him to get back in it and be ready
Speaker 8: for that first week in Cleveland?
Speaker 9: I don't know.
Speaker 8: We'll find out very soon, but that's something that's still
Speaker 8: kind of that everyone is going to be keeping an
Speaker 8: eye on.
Speaker 3: You know, it's an interesting point you make. I think
Speaker 3: I'm on the other end of this one. I think
Speaker 3: I'm on the other end of He's the one guy
Speaker 3: that I feel like I could pay and oh yeah,
Speaker 3: and he's going to get better. I just think that
Speaker 3: every year you watch him play, his game has gotten better. Yeah.
Speaker 3: You know what, when the first five weeks of the
Speaker 3: season last year, they're kind of like, what are we doing?
Speaker 3: And then they start to say, Okay, let's think about
Speaker 3: adjusting this, and that's when things took off for him
Speaker 3: and I just I really, I'm I'm the guy. I'm
Speaker 3: trusting Mike McCarthy on this one. When he says, Hey,
Speaker 3: this guy can run all day, and you know he
Speaker 3: wants to run all day, he wants to do I'm
Speaker 3: I totally understand the direction you're going there. My side
Speaker 3: of it is, I feel like that, like I'm not
Speaker 3: worried about the guy. I'm just not he is. He's
Speaker 3: the I think of all the guys that they're going
Speaker 3: to have with A fifty three, I think he's the
Speaker 3: guy I worry about the least of coming in and
Speaker 3: being ready to go and living up to the expectations
Speaker 3: of what this contract is going to be.
Speaker 8: You know, I think he'll keep showing up and getting better.
Speaker 8: I absolutely agree with you in that. But the only
Speaker 8: thing that I will say is is how many weeks
Speaker 8: is it going to take for him to get integrated?
Speaker 9: And again, I've seen him.
Speaker 8: I know what he can do, and I if there's
Speaker 8: anybody else that I can trust other than Zach Martin,
Speaker 8: he would be another guy that I'll be like, Okay, yeah, sure.
Speaker 8: But it is something that it is in my head.
Speaker 2: Well, I think here's thing.
Speaker 3: It's very fair. It's very fair.
Speaker 6: Yeah, and I think the integration piece doesn't bother me
Speaker 6: as much. Here's what I am a little bit and
Speaker 6: I won't even say concern, but I am keeping in
Speaker 6: the back of my mind is when you have missed
Speaker 6: off training camp. I think there is some conditioning to
Speaker 6: the body that happens. I'll give you an example. When
Speaker 6: you're when you're training for anything, you typically have to
Speaker 6: work up.
Speaker 2: You don't start if you're.
Speaker 6: Training for a marathon, Brian, you've done marathons, Yeah, you
Speaker 6: don't start on day one running thirteen miles, right.
Speaker 2: You start off slow, You start.
Speaker 6: Off with a relatively low amount of mileage, and you build,
Speaker 6: you build over time, and that allows your body to
Speaker 6: absorb the training and keeps you from getting these soft
Speaker 6: tissue injuries and those kinds of things. What I'm going
Speaker 6: to be looking at is, obviously it's two weeks before
Speaker 6: you're going to get him to the field. I think
Speaker 6: he's going to come in phenomenal shape because he looks
Speaker 6: like he's in phenomenal shape.
Speaker 2: That's not the issue. It's the football stuff.
Speaker 6: It is the movements of football that maybe he doesn't have.
Speaker 2: That is he going to work up?
Speaker 6: How are they going to make sure that he works
Speaker 6: up slowly enough to where he doesn't risk injuring himself.
Speaker 8: That's what you're verbalizing my thoughts. Yeah, yeah, you just
Speaker 8: have better English than me. But that's that's exactly what
Speaker 8: the gonna be.
Speaker 6: Like this dad in Spanish, We'll get a translator and
Speaker 6: we'll be fine.
Speaker 2: Goohead.
Speaker 3: Why do I kind of feel like that CD puts
Speaker 3: name to paper and him and Daker in the dockyard,
Speaker 3: and while everybody's off trying to figure out cuts and
Speaker 3: things like that, that they're starting to throw the ball together.
Speaker 3: I mean, I just to me and everybody, everybody's right
Speaker 3: about that. I just I just think this is a
Speaker 3: rare cat. I really do. I think this is one
Speaker 3: of those guys where if it was if it was
Speaker 3: anybody else, I would sit there and go, they're right,
Speaker 3: They're right about that. They're right. That makes sense. But
Speaker 3: with this guy, I think there's something different about this guy.
Speaker 3: I think he knew that he was going this was
Speaker 3: how if he was going to see this through, it
Speaker 3: was going to be down to the wire. I think
Speaker 3: he's prepared himself, knowing that this scene could come down
Speaker 3: to the wire, you know, and he got what he
Speaker 3: wanted out of the deal. Yeah, two weeks. To me,
Speaker 3: I'm grateful that it wasn't three days before the Cleveland game. Yeah,
Speaker 3: and then and they were all talking about he's in
Speaker 3: active this week because he's not ready and all that.
Speaker 3: You've given this guy some time, And I like what
Speaker 3: you're saying about the football readiness. I think that to me,
Speaker 3: if it was a defensive player, if it was, I
Speaker 3: would be But a guy who makes his living running
Speaker 3: and catching the way that he does, you know, we've
Speaker 3: seen I'm trying to think of some of these times.
Speaker 3: You see guys come back from things and they just
Speaker 3: immediately throw them out there and then all of a sudden,
Speaker 3: it's like they have these productive games, and you know,
Speaker 3: I just he's I just keep saying he's the last
Speaker 3: one I'm worrying about because I think that he I
Speaker 3: think he had a plan for how he was going
Speaker 3: to do this, and I think in his mind him
Speaker 3: and his agent knew this could come down to the
Speaker 3: last damn day. But we're going we're gonna get it done.
Speaker 3: I think he's gonna be ready to go when we
Speaker 3: see him.
Speaker 4: So when we are certainly in the same exact predicament
Speaker 4: with Michael Parsons next year, you're gonna have a little
Speaker 4: bit more concern.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know what, let me let me be honest here,
Speaker 3: I was more concerned about Micah Parsons missing OTAs because
Speaker 3: it was a new defense.
Speaker 4: Then you have been about CD missing training camp.
Speaker 2: Yep, gotcha, gotcha.
Speaker 3: Just because I feel like that, you know, and you
Speaker 3: guys do a fine job of reporting here in Dallas
Speaker 3: Cowboys dot Com and everybody's talking about he had his
Speaker 3: iPad installations, all that stuff. He can follow along with
Speaker 3: what's going on. The only thing that he wasn't doing
Speaker 3: was the on the field stuff. And I'm like, like
Speaker 3: I said, if if ceed goes out there and falters, okay,
Speaker 3: you know what cooks Tolbert Ferguson. You guys picked the
Speaker 3: slack up here, you know, until we get it. I
Speaker 3: think you now, even Brooks, I think you got an
Speaker 3: idea of some guys. I'm more confident in Tolbert as
Speaker 3: a player. If something were to happen where man Lamb
Speaker 3: doesn't look right today, All my colleagues here are right
Speaker 3: about you know, you guys are all right. He just
Speaker 3: doesn't look good. Step in their tobt, get it done today,
Speaker 3: you know, step in their first and get it done today.
Speaker 3: That's where That's where I'm at with this.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think the big key for me is and
Speaker 6: I think they do have a plan, But I think
Speaker 6: they just have to have a plan for how they
Speaker 6: get him integrated from the standpoint of getting him worked
Speaker 6: up to the level that it's going to take for
Speaker 6: him to be at the level that he normally is.
Speaker 6: And that's not about his ability, that's not about his work,
Speaker 6: that's not about his conditioning. That's more just about getting
Speaker 6: him football ready. Where everybody else has been for a
Speaker 6: month toiling every day at training camp. That has a
Speaker 6: way of building your body up. And I'm sure they
Speaker 6: have a plan for him. I think Mike mentioned something
Speaker 6: about it yesterday. This guy can run all day. He
Speaker 6: loves to run like that's that. I think they know
Speaker 6: he's going to be in condition now. I think they'll
Speaker 6: have a plan for how do they get him football
Speaker 6: ready so that they don't rush him out there so fast.
Speaker 6: Like you said, he ain't doing one hundred and twenty
Speaker 6: plays this game. It, Yeah, but you got to ease
Speaker 6: him into that a little a little bit and make
Speaker 6: sure that you don't expose him unnecessarily to the potentially injury.
Speaker 3: Well, but wear and tear on his body is not
Speaker 3: as bad as some of these guys after going through camp.
Speaker 3: After going through camp, you know, with the three games
Speaker 3: you played, the practices and stuff like that. I mean,
Speaker 3: I I just kind of feel like though that that
Speaker 3: you know, here's a guy that's going to be I
Speaker 3: think he's going to have to The thing he's going
Speaker 3: to have to guard against is going too much, right,
Speaker 3: is going as being you know, let's go, let's go
Speaker 3: throw me in.
Speaker 2: Let They may have to protect him from himself.
Speaker 4: That.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he is one of these guys that I don't
Speaker 3: think he's going to want to take it easy.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: As far as as far as what he's been up to,
Speaker 4: he's been in South Florida working with various trainers here
Speaker 4: in the course of training camp. So whether that be
Speaker 4: Delfonte Diamond, his receiver worker or his receiver work specialist,
Speaker 4: and a lot of speed trainers down in South Florida.
Speaker 4: You've probably seen the videos on Instagram of him doing
Speaker 4: cuts on the beach and that's stuff tough to do.
Speaker 4: I try to do that once.
Speaker 7: Someone just running on the beach, card walking on the
Speaker 7: beach as hard.
Speaker 4: Bury all your stuff.
Speaker 3: On the beach is not hard on the beach.
Speaker 4: A footing on the beach a different story. But he
Speaker 4: has been training, that's what he's been up to. In fact,
Speaker 4: he was coming from South Florida yesterday whenever he got
Speaker 4: the phone call. So that's that he's going to be
Speaker 4: coming straight into town from South Florida. And then he's
Speaker 4: hoping to be able to step in and practice as
Speaker 4: soon as tonight. So we'll see, all.
Speaker 6: Right, we're gonna take our first break, we'll come back.
Speaker 6: I'll talk about some players that are not on this team,
Speaker 6: but maybe we'll be by the end of the day
Speaker 6: or the end of the week.
Speaker 2: We'll talk about that when we come back. Dallas Cowboys

Speaker 2: Welcome Back. It is segment of the Break Lives WBC
Speaker 2: More Studios.
Speaker 6: At the start of the segment brought to you by
Speaker 6: blockchain dot Com. There we go, all right, we're going
Speaker 6: to talk about a couple of players that the Cowboys
Speaker 6: are reportedly going to be visiting with that they could
Speaker 6: look to maybe add and add to their roster. Bolster
Speaker 6: the roster here actually the day that they're going to
Speaker 6: be making their final cuts. In the final segment, we
Speaker 6: will get to some cuts that have already been made
Speaker 6: so as some players have already been waived. But let's
Speaker 6: start first with some of these players that are coming
Speaker 6: in for visits. Let's talk about Dalvincook running back, very
Speaker 6: productive running back throughout his career in Minnesota, had some
Speaker 6: I don't know, just not much production, but I don't
Speaker 6: think he had a lot of opportunity there with the Jets.
Speaker 6: Did end up with the Ravens last year and had
Speaker 6: some pretty decent moments. Give me a scattering point, Brian.
Speaker 6: If you're going to give a scattering report on this guy,
Speaker 6: woae to be Yeah.
Speaker 3: I think this is a little bit quicker Ezekiel Elliott,
Speaker 3: and I think that I think that you have a
Speaker 3: little bit better quickness and power with Rico, Dawdle and Vaughn.
Speaker 3: You have more explosiveness with the player. So to me,
Speaker 3: there's probably two of the three current running backs that
Speaker 3: I would have on my fifty three. I didn't include
Speaker 3: Davis in there, but I kind of feel like that
Speaker 3: that might be the three that we're dealing with here
Speaker 3: right now. This guy is It's more he's got the
Speaker 3: vision still, he can make the quick decision. I think
Speaker 3: he needs to be going straight ahead. I just don't
Speaker 3: think there's a lot of I don't think there's no
Speaker 3: longer that he can make those violent cuts that he
Speaker 3: once made in his day. He's you know, they they
Speaker 3: kind of use him like as when they'll throw him
Speaker 3: the ball in the move. That's a good thing for him.
Speaker 3: But when you hand him the ball and you get
Speaker 3: him to start to go wide, you could keep him
Speaker 3: going wide. He doesn't have that ability to turn that
Speaker 3: corner like he once did, and there was, you know,
Speaker 3: the inside pursuit was getting him and the Jets. As
Speaker 3: you mentioned, Derek not really blocking for him very much.
Speaker 3: Plays in a playoff game with the Ravens. Better blocking
Speaker 3: up front has a long run. It was just a
Speaker 3: really kind of a straight ahead, well blocked played, He's
Speaker 3: going to get what what's ever in front of him.
Speaker 3: So I was a little bit a little bit more
Speaker 3: dancing with the Ravens in the hole, but and he
Speaker 3: can't afford to do that. I kind of feel like
Speaker 3: you're looking at this as we used to call this
Speaker 3: when I was with Parcels, he called the emergency team
Speaker 3: the tidewater board because of the Triple A for the
Speaker 3: Yankees was tidewater, and so he was like, Okay, that's
Speaker 3: our tidewater team. I think they're looking at this guy
Speaker 3: right now. Is okay, where is he shape wise? And
Speaker 3: could this be an emergency guy going forward? I don't know.
Speaker 6: They So you're saying, don't sign him now, wait something
Speaker 6: comes up.
Speaker 3: I think they're looking at this and just seeing where
Speaker 3: he's at. I don't know. Now things might change. But
Speaker 3: if you're thinking of Dalvin Cook as Dalvin Cook of
Speaker 3: days gone by. He's not that guy anymore. He is.
Speaker 3: It's it's it's very similar. Just like I said, probably
Speaker 3: a little bit quicker Zeke, but not much quicker. You know,
Speaker 3: you still got a guy that's going to finish forward.
Speaker 3: But is he going to make those explosive runs that
Speaker 3: we've seen in the past. No, he's not. You can
Speaker 3: start to see that defenders were getting to him and
Speaker 3: bringing him down and he wasn't breaking arm tackles and
Speaker 3: things like that, so he could still catch the football,
Speaker 3: which is good. He's not much of a pass protector
Speaker 3: when it comes to the blitz pick up stuff. But
Speaker 3: I kind of feel like though that like they're they're
Speaker 3: trying to. At least the thing that's encouraging me is
Speaker 3: they're continually looking at running back players. They're looking at
Speaker 3: possibilities here. They haven't just said, Okay, these are guys
Speaker 3: and that's what we're gonna do. So if they're if
Speaker 3: they're looking at Dalvin Cook, maybe there's some others the
Speaker 3: waiver wire, we'll see what happens. The Jets have a guy,
Speaker 3: I know, we can't get into that until they actually
Speaker 3: release the player. But the Jets have a guy that
Speaker 3: people should be interesting. I can't bring up his name,
Speaker 3: but look at the Jets roster and you can maybe
Speaker 3: figure it out. But yeah, that's that's kind of where
Speaker 3: I would I would I would venture to say that
Speaker 3: this is more of a kick the tires situation than
Speaker 3: it is bring a guy in right now.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think it can make sense to sign him
Speaker 4: to the practice squad and you know, see if there's
Speaker 4: a need for him three four weeks into the season
Speaker 4: and see if there's an opportunity there. But you mentioned
Speaker 4: you mentioned the receiving game and being a little bit
Speaker 4: quicker than Ezekiel Elliott. The thing is Ezekiel Elliott, the
Speaker 4: receptions that he had last year and how he was
Speaker 4: able to be productive in the receipt You just take
Speaker 4: last year in a vacuum. It's way more productive than
Speaker 4: Dalvin Cook has had in any season as a receiving back.
Speaker 4: And so I think that's the extra layer that I
Speaker 4: understand the questioning around why is Ezekiel Elliott just this
Speaker 4: runaway RB one and he doesn't even have to play
Speaker 4: in the preseason And it's just fact at this point.
Speaker 4: To a certain point, I do understand the fans frustration
Speaker 4: with that. I would have liked to have seen Ezekil
Speaker 4: Elliott a little bit in the preseason, but I think
Speaker 4: this is still a guy who is versatile enough to
Speaker 4: be able to fill multiple roles. He can be that
Speaker 4: pass protector, he can be that receiving back, he can
Speaker 4: be that downhill guy, short yatage back. Whereas Daln Cook,
Speaker 4: while he may have an extra speed element to him,
Speaker 4: he can still read the the the offensive line a
Speaker 4: little bit to the same point as Ezekiel Elliott can.
Speaker 4: He doesn't necessarily bring everything that Ezekiel Elliott brings in
Speaker 4: his toolbag. So for me, if I'm looking at that, okay,
Speaker 4: I take Zeke over Dalvin Cook. I take where you
Speaker 4: go doubt over Dalvin Cook because I like his aggression
Speaker 4: a little bit more, I like his downhill nature a
Speaker 4: little bit more. And I'm taking duz Vaughan over Dalvin
Speaker 4: Cook because this running back room still does need a player,
Speaker 4: and I'm not convinced that Dalvin Cook is a playmaker
Speaker 4: after only rushing for two hundred and fourteen yards last year.
Speaker 4: And you mentioned that one run that he had with Baltimore,
Speaker 4: and it was literally one run he had it was
Speaker 4: a nice run, but the game was thirty four to
Speaker 4: ten and the game was decided by that point. I
Speaker 4: just meant, I was like, Okay, let me go back
Speaker 4: and watch last year to see if I missed anything.
Speaker 4: So maybe he wasn't getting cors lined up in correct situations.
Speaker 4: And I was right, I did miss something. He was
Speaker 4: even worse than I remembered, Like, it was not great
Speaker 4: stuff that I saw from him last year. But nevertheless,
Speaker 4: you look at the seasons before that. He was coming
Speaker 4: off of a four straight one thousand yard season, so
Speaker 4: he's not that far removed from being a really productive
Speaker 4: back in this league. It's just what happened last year.
Speaker 4: Was it, you know, kind of a fluke incident, or
Speaker 4: can he get back in the team, get back in conditioning,
Speaker 4: and after three four weeks on the practice squad be
Speaker 4: able to make his way and be able to make
Speaker 4: a name for himself on the team. But as of
Speaker 4: right now, I'm not buying a whole lot into this.
Speaker 8: Yeah, I think, I mean, it's still good that it's happening,
Speaker 8: just to check him out and visit and have an
Speaker 8: idea in case the time comes down the road. And
Speaker 8: I mean, we see it happen during the season, so
Speaker 8: better to do that kind of work now than in
Speaker 8: the middle of the season. But going back to Zeke
Speaker 8: and what you mentioned Nick, with fans kind of being
Speaker 8: frustrated with him not getting those reps during preseason, and
Speaker 8: I agree, but at the same time, like he's he's
Speaker 8: done the work and I'd rather just see him stay there.
Speaker 8: And what we've seen to me at training camp, I know,
Speaker 8: and I have my whole doubts with the running game
Speaker 8: as a whole in general, But with Zeke what I
Speaker 8: started seeing those last couple of weeks, I mean he
Speaker 8: looks really good. And by really good, I mean he's healthy.
Speaker 8: He looks light on his movement, like he looks quick
Speaker 8: but light, Like you know when sometimes running backs can
Speaker 8: look like heavy and it's just kind of harder to
Speaker 8: make those runs. He looks lighter, ag yeah, and he's
Speaker 8: putting that work. So anyway, that with that being said,
Speaker 8: I'm just there's a lot to look at. But Dalvin
Speaker 8: could he's not yet. He doesn't have that attractiveness that
Speaker 8: he once had when you heard his name, like oh yeah, now,
Speaker 8: it's kind of I put him in the same boat
Speaker 8: as Ezekiel Elliott and kind of like they're kind of
Speaker 8: in the same path of career, you know, so with
Speaker 8: those two, our brother have Zeke. But anyways, it's still
Speaker 8: good to check him out. But I don't know how
Speaker 8: much if that's actually something that's going to happen where
Speaker 8: they sign him.
Speaker 3: Now. I kind of feel like they can run the
Speaker 3: ball with ric o'dowdell.
Speaker 2: I do too.
Speaker 6: Yeah, we've all agreed that the issue there is not
Speaker 6: his ability, right.
Speaker 3: It's the health. It's always going to it's availability. And
Speaker 3: it's a little bit like when we talk about with
Speaker 3: Tyron Smith. You know, it's like, gosh, we know Tyron
Speaker 3: Smith's a really good player, but availability part if Rico
Speaker 3: Daddle can find a way to stay healthy with the
Speaker 3: content they had a full season, No, it's been, it's been,
Speaker 3: and that's.
Speaker 2: Been as a backup.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I think that's a problem. And if you
Speaker 3: told me, if you told me that he was going
Speaker 3: to be able to play seventeen games in some playoffs,
Speaker 3: you know, I would say, fine, if you want to
Speaker 3: bring Zeke in and let him find you know, but
Speaker 3: you're going to figure out that that guy right over
Speaker 3: there is probably your best player, you know, when you
Speaker 3: start to run the football and the explosiveness and the
Speaker 3: quickness and all those things, it's Rico Daddle. That's the
Speaker 3: guy who's going to be But I and I understand
Speaker 3: the fans that you know it. To me, I was
Speaker 3: a little bit more frustrating because I wanted to see, Okay,
Speaker 3: what can you do? You saw him in the Rams
Speaker 3: scrimmage that on the left side they opened up some
Speaker 3: stuff and as you said, ever Zeke won't get through
Speaker 3: there got through there a couple of different times like,
Speaker 3: oh okay, here we go. I like to see that.
Speaker 3: But to me, with this offensive line the way it
Speaker 3: is with the two young kids and they're blocking the
Speaker 3: combo blocks, the backside cutoffs, maybe some improved blocking from
Speaker 3: the tight ends, this thing might have a chance to
Speaker 3: be better than what we think it's gonna be.
Speaker 2: Yeah, no doubt. Let's move on to Tyas by Bowser.
Speaker 2: He is a guy that we're that.
Speaker 6: Rumors are that he's coming in to meet with the
Speaker 6: team as well.
Speaker 2: What do you think? And give me a scatter report
Speaker 2: on Tyas.
Speaker 4: Bowser, Tyler Texas, Baby Texas. Let's go John Tyler High School. Kujo.
Speaker 2: When it comes to high school guys.
Speaker 6: This man right here who knows those guys from back
Speaker 6: when they were wee bit little guys playing football.
Speaker 2: Draft he knows these guys.
Speaker 4: It's even even an added layer of Siico because I'm
Speaker 4: also in East Texas guy, and I have a ton
Speaker 4: of family that went to John Tyler. I went to
Speaker 4: John Tyler for a semester, so it's a little bit
Speaker 4: extra even with the specific school he went to. But
Speaker 4: drafted to Baltimore back in twenty seventeen, was really productive
Speaker 4: and finally found his role after a couple of seasons
Speaker 4: in Baltimore. It was a really good rotational guy for them,
Speaker 4: and I think if you were looking at maybe rotational
Speaker 4: guys in twenty twenty, twenty twenty one, that was a
Speaker 4: guy you probably wanted to be able to elevate into
Speaker 4: a starting role if you're another team looking around. But
Speaker 4: then he battles a twenty akilles and he battles a
Speaker 4: knee injury last year, so he's coming off of back
Speaker 4: to back pretty devastating injuries. So it's does he still
Speaker 4: have the speed? Does he still have the quickness? I
Speaker 4: think that's going to be the big part of today's
Speaker 4: workout and especially the physical is going to be really
Speaker 4: important with him too. But I mean, if he does
Speaker 4: still have that same quickness and that same twitch is sure.
Speaker 4: You know, if if Karl Lawson is a guy that
Speaker 4: the team's looking around and didn't think worked out, then
Speaker 4: maybe they go get a guy with a little bit
Speaker 4: more links. He's six foot three to two hundred and
Speaker 4: fifty pounds, so he definitely has the power aspect of
Speaker 4: it as well. But for me, it's I don't know
Speaker 4: how you feel about this, Brian specifically, but when it
Speaker 4: comes to scouting guys and kind of looking at their
Speaker 4: body of work over the last couple of years, it's
Speaker 4: hard to ignore that the injuries are coming off of
Speaker 4: at the same time. So it's it's a little bit
Speaker 4: tough to actually judge what Bowser could bring to the
Speaker 4: Dallas Cowboys without being in that physical room. But if
Speaker 4: he is healthy, he has been productive.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he heard his knee, as Nick mentioned before the
Speaker 3: twenty twenty three season, So the film I looked at
Speaker 3: was twenty twenty two is what I did with him.
Speaker 3: He places as a stand up linebacker, but the Ravens
Speaker 3: have a different skin because of their odd front three
Speaker 3: four front is what they do. So but the initial
Speaker 3: quickness was good. He's got some pop off the ball.
Speaker 3: I think he needs to be more aware of the
Speaker 3: ball at him. There were times in the run game
Speaker 3: whereas Carl Lawson I felt was a better run defender
Speaker 3: than he was a pass rusher. From what I saw,
Speaker 3: I think Bowser's opposite of that. But I think he
Speaker 3: just need to be a little bit more aware with
Speaker 3: the ball at him. He has good inside rush, he'll
Speaker 3: get his He'll use his hands to free himself. I
Speaker 3: just didn't see a guy that could grab the corner.
Speaker 3: And that's what I worried about him, with a little
Speaker 3: bit that maybe that we were talking about some of
Speaker 3: the injuries and stuff. This is before the knee, but
Speaker 3: he just didn't have that ability to really grab the
Speaker 3: corner like I like him to. He'll extend on blockers.
Speaker 3: He can control guys with power. You know, they'd use
Speaker 3: him in coverage. He was playing quite a bit in
Speaker 3: some coverage. You know, he can close down that backside
Speaker 3: when free, when he has a run, he could really
Speaker 3: really close that thing. I'd just like to see a
Speaker 3: little bit better change of direction. He'll labor some in this,
Speaker 3: but He's also twenty nine years old, so a little
Speaker 3: bit older guy coming off some injuries. Like Nick's talking about,
Speaker 3: does he have the quickness? Does he have the explosiveness
Speaker 3: that he once had? This is a you know, applaud
Speaker 3: the Cowboys again. They're not standing pat They're looking at guys.
Speaker 3: They're throwing a lot at this their defense. They're throwing
Speaker 3: a lot at a lot of their their roster spots.
Speaker 3: I think that's a positive thing that they're going to
Speaker 3: continue to look at guys like this.
Speaker 6: Yeah, mention, you mentioned real quick about Carl Lawson. You
Speaker 6: just kind of threw the name out there. But how
Speaker 6: much do you think this is about what they lot
Speaker 6: Carl Lawson and maybe not necessarily thinking needs the answer
Speaker 6: a lot.
Speaker 3: And you know, Carl Lawson is one of these guys
Speaker 3: that I felt like there were some good reps in
Speaker 3: the Chargers game. When you went back and watched the
Speaker 3: tape of him playing, it was a little bit better
Speaker 3: of the dip and getting that shoulder underneath and flattening
Speaker 3: where you saw some pressure. I actually thought Mohammed was
Speaker 3: the better of When you started to talk about loss
Speaker 3: in Mohammed Wheat, I kind of you have Muhammed the
Speaker 3: role while of the edges, he was the one guy.
Speaker 3: But he is going to get suspended the first week
Speaker 3: of the season, so you could probably carry him. What
Speaker 3: was our jones last year? Running back Don Ronald Jones
Speaker 3: two games. I couldn't think of his name yesterday, but
Speaker 3: I'm like, okay, well somebody got suspended.
Speaker 2: Its Jones.
Speaker 1: I remember that.
Speaker 3: But yeah, this is you know it depending on how
Speaker 3: they they look at things, Like I say, Carl Lawson,
Speaker 3: probably you know, not in the picture for him right now.
Speaker 2: On that all right, let's sick our final break.
Speaker 6: We'll come back tuck a little bit about some of
Speaker 6: the players that we've already reported have been released, I
Speaker 6: have been waived, and then we'll talk about some other
Speaker 6: guys that we expect.
Speaker 2: Maybe we'll be on that list by end of the day.
Speaker 2: It's a tough day in the NFL. We'll be back.

Speaker 6: let's jump into some of the guys that have already
Speaker 6: been waived. We reported some of this yesterday. I'll throw
Speaker 6: out some names.
Speaker 3: Can I thank Nick Harris for jumping on that. Yeah,
Speaker 3: he was all over it, right my gosh, right off
Speaker 3: the jump. Well done, sir.
Speaker 2: That's where I got this list from was from his tweets.
Speaker 3: So I mean that I looked at that thing and
Speaker 3: I'm like, here we go, get some get some names
Speaker 3: right off the jump.
Speaker 4: Got terminated jokes, but that's that's how they do.
Speaker 2: Well. Here's the thing.
Speaker 6: I'm not gonna throw throw all the names here a
Speaker 6: long list. I'm gonna throw out some of the names
Speaker 6: that just jumped out to me because Scott Eric, No,
Speaker 6: Scott's not number one, but he is on that list sure.
Speaker 6: But here's some of the guys that that will Wave
Speaker 6: that for me were interesting guys that Will waved uh
Speaker 6: and guys I think could possibly be practice squad type
Speaker 6: players if they get through Waivers linebacker, Willie Harvey, defensive back,
Speaker 6: Eric Scott defensive tackle, Albert Huggins, wide receiver, Tyring Billy Johnson,
Speaker 6: Uh defensive end, Villiami Fijoco tight end. This morning we
Speaker 6: hear Peyton Hendershot is supposedly on the outs as well.
Speaker 6: That being said, of those names, are there any surprises, uh,
Speaker 6: that of guys that that you thought maybe would have
Speaker 6: had a better shot at making the team.
Speaker 4: I thought they were maybe gonna keep Foogo around another year,
Speaker 4: and for him to be Wave injured. I'm curious what
Speaker 4: the injury ended up being, But I I it doesn't
Speaker 4: necessarily surprise me that they let go of fo Hoko,
Speaker 4: but it was I would probably say it's the more
Speaker 4: so prising of these guys, you know, I've been talking
Speaker 4: to some people, and you know, there was some questions
Speaker 4: earlier in camp, like, man, Willie Harvey might make this roster,
Speaker 4: and he's looking good, but he had a bad performance Johnson. Yeah, right,
Speaker 4: he had a bad two preseason performance in those final
Speaker 4: two preseason games. And then Buddy Johnson had an awesome
Speaker 4: game this past Saturday Saturday, and so I think Buddy
Speaker 4: Johnson's gonna end up sneaking onto this roster instead of
Speaker 4: Willie Harvey. And then you look at it from a
Speaker 4: size perspective to Willie Harvey's five to ten on a
Speaker 4: good day, and I think you just kind of need
Speaker 4: the you need that size element, especially on special teams,
Speaker 4: and that's what that depth linebacker is going to be
Speaker 4: asked to do. But I wouldn't say there was any
Speaker 4: too many major, you know, surprises, you know Tyron Billy Johnson, Yeah,
Speaker 4: he looked great early in camp, but I think Jalen
Speaker 4: Cropper and Ryan Flanoy had passed him up by the
Speaker 4: end of camp. But yeah, nothing to nothing too uh
Speaker 4: too shocking, you.
Speaker 3: Know what I want to if I could, you know,
Speaker 3: you mentioned these wide receivers give Floorinoy a lot of credit.
Speaker 3: He came a long way. He did in a in
Speaker 3: a in our hurry, because we were all at camp
Speaker 3: when we were talking and doing our shows and things
Speaker 3: like that, we were talking about boy Cropper looks good.
Speaker 3: Cropper's got a stranglehold on this thing, looking good, looking good,
Speaker 3: Billy Johnson, the name ah you mentioned. And then all
Speaker 3: of a sudden, it's like, who's this eighteen eighteen again?
Speaker 3: Eight oh? Another catch eight team? He induced faun probably
Speaker 3: came as fast and as far from where they spotted everybody.
Speaker 3: Two weeks of practice and then all of a sudden said, no,
Speaker 3: we're gonna make this team, or we're going to figure
Speaker 3: out a way to make this team by the way
Speaker 3: they played. So Fajoko being waved injured, this one's got
Speaker 3: some possibilities because what you're doing by waving him injured,
Speaker 3: you're telling the league that he's hurt, there's something wrong
Speaker 3: with him. And sometimes teams won't claim an injured player.
Speaker 3: They won't do that, And so what will happen is
Speaker 3: likely he'll revert back to your list of your ir group.
Speaker 3: And when he reverts back to your our group, you
Speaker 3: could keep him there the whole time, or you can injury,
Speaker 3: settle him and give him a couple of game checks
Speaker 3: and let him move on.
Speaker 4: So I'd be shocked if dan Quinn's looking at it.
Speaker 4: He could have a he could have a missing right arm,
Speaker 4: and I think dan Quinn would still go grab.
Speaker 3: Well, see that's what now, Maybe Dallas, maybe this is
Speaker 3: how Dallas is protecting themselves now that Dan might you know,
Speaker 3: Dan might go through the age and figure out, like,
Speaker 3: what's wrong with him?
Speaker 2: Is it?
Speaker 3: Is it a hamstring? Dallas is maybe playing a smart
Speaker 3: game here that they don't want to lose him and
Speaker 3: they're trying to make it. And these teams they fall
Speaker 3: in love with their players, you know, like if you're
Speaker 3: the New England Patriots, who has a talent poor roster,
Speaker 3: you should claim every single guy that everybody puts out there.
Speaker 3: You just get rid of your roster and start taking
Speaker 3: everybody else. You'll be better off. This is the second draft.
Speaker 3: We're about to have the second draft here. So to me,
Speaker 3: Dallas might be playing the game of okay, if we
Speaker 3: can get Fojoko through, we could keep him on injured,
Speaker 3: reserve the whole year and work on it next year.
Speaker 3: Or they could be we just need the spot and
Speaker 3: you know we're gonna give him game checks. That there's
Speaker 3: the injury settlement thing will always be a factor in
Speaker 3: this to get guys off the off the reserve lists
Speaker 3: and things like that.
Speaker 9: Well, no surprises for me, nobody surprised me.
Speaker 8: Fallko is the one. But because he was on the
Speaker 8: injury it makes me question that. And again, we got
Speaker 8: to keep in mind everything that you guys just said. Yeah,
Speaker 8: they waive these guys, and then you gotta wagh a
Speaker 8: few well today and then by tomorrow and things, they
Speaker 8: start picking guys back up to put in the practice
Speaker 8: squad and all of that. So it's still we don't
Speaker 8: know what's going to happen there. And then with Billy Johnson,
Speaker 8: just like you guys mentioned, he is a name, and
Speaker 8: to me, those last couple of weeks of training camp
Speaker 8: are what mattered the most because it's what's on your memory,
Speaker 8: that's the freshest thing that you've seen from these players,
Speaker 8: saying he's the guy that you started talking about him,
Speaker 8: hearing his name, seeing him make plays. But again, when
Speaker 8: you talk about the wide receiver group, how deep it
Speaker 8: is and how many other guys have shown up at
Speaker 8: training camp and even in the preseason making plays and
Speaker 8: are very attractive. But also you don't have spots like
Speaker 8: you're you're like keeping six guys a wide receiver. So yeah,
Speaker 8: there are other guys that I think are ahead of him.
Speaker 3: Yeah. I think something very telling, though, Derek from your
Speaker 3: list is the Eric Scott one. The fact that they're
Speaker 3: down Bland and now they're looking at this. Are they
Speaker 3: going to carry five guys?
Speaker 4: You know?
Speaker 3: Uh, Keemen Hall is still on this team as we speak. Uh,
Speaker 3: you know, we'll get the final we'll get the final
Speaker 3: cuts today at three o'clock. But Keem and Hall still there.
Speaker 3: Did they determine that Keenan Hall was better than Eric Scott.
Speaker 9: And that play?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 3: But you know it's funny Eric Scott, like I was thinking,
Speaker 3: there's no way he's here, and then he practiced great
Speaker 3: that last Wednesday we were there. He was knocking balls
Speaker 3: down and stuff, and I was going him and span
Speaker 3: four two guys. I kind of felt like, we're off
Speaker 3: the roster all of a sudden, we're making plays.
Speaker 9: So everybody else was ready to come back home.
Speaker 8: Yeah, you know that's the point.
Speaker 2: You know, I was watching practice. Somebody watched, So we'll
Speaker 2: take your word for.
Speaker 9: It, but I take very lightly because everyone's over it.
Speaker 3: But that's the thing with Eric Scott that I kind
Speaker 3: of wonder, because they do have the injury, you know,
Speaker 3: and and maybe, like I said, maybe they tried to
Speaker 3: move Eric Scott to maybe the commanders who that's where
Speaker 3: his guys were, and the commanders are like, going, no,
Speaker 3: you're calling us because you're gonna let him go. We'll
Speaker 3: just claim him. We'll be fine here, you know, we'll
Speaker 3: be fine. But there were some times where Eric Scott
Speaker 3: made some some good plays, you know, but maybe not
Speaker 3: obviously not enough to make this final fifty three?
Speaker 2: Real quick, did you.
Speaker 4: Just a bad day to be a Johnson? Yesterday? Cam Johnson,
Speaker 4: Jason Johnson, Derel Johnson, tying, Billy Johnson all waved, but
Speaker 4: Buddy Johnson's still hanging around.
Speaker 6: All right, So real quick, before we end the show,
Speaker 6: we don't have about two minutes here. I want to
Speaker 6: go around the table. I want you to give me
Speaker 6: one name that will be a surprise by tomorrow morning.
Speaker 6: What I mean by that is either a surprise that
Speaker 6: they were no longer here or a surprise that they
Speaker 6: are here. Let's go around the table.
Speaker 9: Let me pull up the roster, so I see everybody's name.
Speaker 2: Okay, great, let's start with you. Brian, you go first.
Speaker 3: I would be surprised if gosh, I knew you were
Speaker 3: going to do this. I should have been more prepared.
Speaker 9: I think ahead of time. No, no, no, I think
Speaker 9: in the spot.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna say this. Don't be surprised if Brevin span
Speaker 3: Ford makes this team and they carry four Titans.
Speaker 4: I I if I'm betting. I'm not betting on this happening,
Speaker 4: but and this might start an argument that could go
Speaker 4: longer than two minutes. Do you need CJ. Goodwin spot?
Speaker 3: Go there, don't go there. You know what's about to
Speaker 3: happen to you. You you had a better chance to
Speaker 3: attack Taylor Swift or Beyonce than than get than putting
Speaker 3: that name out there. They're just gonna give you. Are
Speaker 3: my friend? Fair? All right, fair? And I agree with
Speaker 3: you on that shut down quick that no people will
Speaker 3: take it swing at your.
Speaker 4: I think they're gonna find a way to make Julius
Speaker 4: Wood a part of this fifty.
Speaker 3: Doing that, and I did the same thing in my
Speaker 3: final fifty three. I went in five safety.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I think they're gonna find a way.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Amber, I'm still okay, can I throw one out?
Speaker 6: I don't know that this is a surprise, but I
Speaker 6: do think he's a guy's on the bubble. I think
Speaker 6: Israel mccualmo makes this team. I think because he gives
Speaker 6: him a little bit of flexibility at corner and safety.
Speaker 3: When you pick another one, you gotta pick another.
Speaker 2: One, Jack, go ahad and go with another one, go
Speaker 2: with another one.
Speaker 3: Because that that was that's a given right there?
Speaker 2: Well is it because it is because of last week?
Speaker 6: Because we had this conversation last week, and we I
Speaker 6: think it seemed like everybody's kind of like, I don't know, Hey,
Speaker 6: I think it's pretty much done.
Speaker 3: I'll throw you one that might be and you might
Speaker 3: not like this one. Da cooda. Shepley look better than
Speaker 3: Hoffman in the game the other day.
Speaker 2: He did.
Speaker 4: I'll give you that, but I'll take Hoffman over Shepley.
Speaker 3: Okay, this is both I'm saying. Maybe I'm just throwing.
Speaker 4: I'm just throwing and started a game of Guarden and
Speaker 4: Week eight team last year playing great.
Speaker 3: Okay, I'm just saying, just keeping up.
Speaker 8: I was looking I was looking at the line A
Speaker 8: lineman and I'm like, looking, Okay, there are a few
Speaker 8: of these that it would be surprising to me if
Speaker 8: they do make the team, And I would take Hoffman
Speaker 8: in a heartbeat over Shepley.
Speaker 3: Okay for sure. Would you take Baller? Well, let's go.
Speaker 2: Ball easy. Yeah, Well to me, And by the way, again,
Speaker 2: I will tell you this. I'll tell you this.
Speaker 6: Going into this training camp, I thought it was very clear, Well,
Speaker 6: let's go A was the better player.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 6: After this camp, there's no doubt in my mind with
Speaker 6: you that ball is a better player.
Speaker 3: I'm more versatile too, Yeah, with you, But I bet
Speaker 3: I know I act like I got sixty guys in
Speaker 3: this rockster the way I'm talking.
Speaker 9: That's what I'm saying, Like, there are some guys.
Speaker 8: That's the tricky part because even though they're not that great,
Speaker 8: you're like, okay, you need the bodies. So that's a
Speaker 8: tricky one for me. But also, are they gonna be
Speaker 8: maybe swapping our guys with somebody else's guys?
Speaker 2: I couldn't say that's a good point.
Speaker 9: Another roster cuts real.
Speaker 3: Quick, real quick. Davis on the team running back, No, No,
Speaker 3: I would.
Speaker 4: I've seen your opinion on that on Twitter.
Speaker 2: I don't agree with you.
Speaker 4: I'm sorry, I just do you think he is? I'm
Speaker 4: taking that I don't.
Speaker 3: I don't think he is, but I thought I think
Speaker 3: that maybe Davis there, they're come to the realization that
Speaker 3: they're going to have to go better at running and
Speaker 3: he can't be. See, that's why I kept Wood on
Speaker 3: the team because Wood at safety is going to play
Speaker 3: all the positions for all my running backs that don't play.
Speaker 2: Special on special teams.
Speaker 3: They can have all their special teams guys, or excuse me,
Speaker 3: all their running backs not play special teams. I'm keeping
Speaker 3: Wood around to play special teams for all those.
Speaker 6: But with their running backs, are they going to make
Speaker 6: all four active for every game?
Speaker 12: Like?
Speaker 2: That's the interesting part is all for included? I'm including Lipky.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I think now you have to because they
Speaker 3: have to activate. They have to activate Vaughan because of
Speaker 3: the we talked about injury histories and stuff like that.
Speaker 4: Let's say if Ezekiel Elliott gets hurt very first play
Speaker 4: of the game, you're going on Rico Daubell and Hunter Lipkey. Yeah,
Speaker 4: if you do, Span is an active in that situation.
Speaker 3: So it forces them to have to make Vaughn active.
Speaker 6: Right, yeah right, Which that's the part where it gets
Speaker 6: a list to have four running backs active and three
Speaker 6: of them are not playing special teams. I'm assuming lip
Speaker 6: Key will play special teams right for those other three,
Speaker 6: not that that makes it interesting.
Speaker 4: So they asked me on a fan this morning, who
Speaker 4: is guy fifty three on this team?
Speaker 3: Said yeah, I think you're right.
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, that is a wrap. We appreciate you guys.
Speaker 6: Jonas will be back on Thursday and we'll talk about
Speaker 6: some of the wave, some of the players that get
Speaker 6: way today and well then we'll start getting ready for
Speaker 6: the season next week. We'll be into it every day
Speaker 6: starting on next Tuesday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday. Next week
Speaker 6: we'll be getting ready for Cowboys versus Browns. Until then
