17
00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:29,399
Speaker 1: I'm Kyle Yeoman's is. We've got a ton to catch

18
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:31,560
Speaker 1: up on. I feel like over the last couple of days,

19
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:34,920
Speaker 1: good and bad around the Dallas Cowboys. Where do you

20
00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:36,800
Speaker 1: guys want to start. I'll let you guys get the option.

21
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:38,840
Speaker 1: We go on with the good or the bat to

22
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:44,480
Speaker 1: start some good man a positive twenty one, let's get

23
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:47,560
Speaker 1: twenty twenty Devil's advocate. I like that. I like that

24
00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:49,880
Speaker 1: a lot. So we're gonna start with the positive. And

25
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:52,480
Speaker 1: one of those positives was that Mike McCarthy just said it,

26
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:54,000
Speaker 1: But it was kind of what I think all of

27
00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:58,440
Speaker 1: us were thinking on or excuse me, yesterday. That might

28
00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:00,880
Speaker 1: have been the best practice we've seen for the Dallas Cowboys,

29
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:04,400
Speaker 1: especially without Dak Prescott throughout training camp. Cooper Rush had

30
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:06,680
Speaker 1: a really nice practice overall, and of course we had

31
00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:11,760
Speaker 1: an extended conversation about the backup quarterback position on Monday.

32
00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:14,160
Speaker 1: But Rob, I'll start with you, what did you see

33
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:17,239
Speaker 1: out of yesterday's practice and what do you expect moving

34
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:19,920
Speaker 1: into today? Actually I thought he said it wasn't really

35
00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:23,519
Speaker 1: a good Proc said it was was not. He said

36
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:26,240
Speaker 1: Cooper Rush had a solid day, okay, working with the ones,

37
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:28,560
Speaker 1: so that was good. We saw the touchdown pass late

38
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:30,520
Speaker 1: to Amari Cooper. That was a heck of a catch

39
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:34,760
Speaker 1: time by number nineteen. And if you want to go positive.

40
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:37,200
Speaker 1: We're starting positive, ya Zak Prescott's going to do more

41
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:39,080
Speaker 1: in practice today. That's huge. He's going to do some

42
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:43,600
Speaker 1: competitive stuff. Isaiah. Seven on seven heck, yeah, I don't

43
00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:47,560
Speaker 1: know about team, but hey, beyond just individual throwing, which

44
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:49,880
Speaker 1: we saw more of yesterday. So that's a positive from

45
00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:53,280
Speaker 1: number four QB one. So he said, he said seven

46
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:56,600
Speaker 1: on seven work. He didn't. He didn't elaborate on team.

47
00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:59,639
Speaker 1: He just said yes over in terms of competitive throwing

48
00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:02,000
Speaker 1: for Dad today. Yeah, And you know, to this point,

49
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:04,560
Speaker 1: he hasn't even done seven on seven since July twenty eighth,

50
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:07,160
Speaker 1: So it's a it's a step forward, and they're doing

51
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:10,760
Speaker 1: this very intentionally. This is something he could have done

52
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:13,680
Speaker 1: a while back. They're just being very very careful with him.

53
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:17,280
Speaker 1: But as we saw pre game Saturday night, he can

54
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:19,240
Speaker 1: make all the throws. I don't think that's a concern

55
00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:21,600
Speaker 1: right now, is Jerry said on the fan yesterday, and

56
00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:24,959
Speaker 1: Isaiah has been saying this. It's it's something you've got

57
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:28,560
Speaker 1: to make sure doesn't carry into beyond week one when

58
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:32,000
Speaker 1: he plays the opener. Isaiah, Yeah, no, I mean that's it.

59
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:33,840
Speaker 1: I mean they're doing it the right way. I mean,

60
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:35,680
Speaker 1: when you while you have the time to ensure that

61
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:37,400
Speaker 1: he is as healthy as he can be going into

62
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:39,240
Speaker 1: the season, you want to you know, error on the

63
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:42,160
Speaker 1: side of caution. So they're doing the exact right thing,

64
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:43,880
Speaker 1: which we know that they have the best, you know,

65
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:45,960
Speaker 1: one of the if not the best, he probably you know,

66
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:48,240
Speaker 1: one of the best training staffs in this entire league.

67
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:51,800
Speaker 1: So they know exactly what they're doing. They're prepared. Yeah,

68
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:55,080
Speaker 1: you know the practice yesterday for for Cooper Rush, he

69
00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:57,360
Speaker 1: did look good, and I think you look good when

70
00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:01,800
Speaker 1: you're behind the number one offensive line. And as much

71
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:05,360
Speaker 1: as Cooper Rush looked good, let's just talk about Garrett

72
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:08,920
Speaker 1: Gilbert's confidence going in the trash can right now. He

73
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:12,520
Speaker 1: just seems like a guy that his confidence is shot.

74
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:16,280
Speaker 1: And we talk about him and the job being his

75
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:19,720
Speaker 1: to lose. I think he's lost it, you know, and

76
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:22,320
Speaker 1: I think it's just because of his confidence. Now, you

77
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:25,479
Speaker 1: know how coaches do. They'll mess with your confidence, they'll

78
00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:29,040
Speaker 1: yank you, they'll make you feel like you don't have anything,

79
00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:31,080
Speaker 1: and you have to build yourself back up just to

80
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:33,279
Speaker 1: see if you have the mental for the two to

81
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:35,520
Speaker 1: do this. And I think Garret Gilbert, for a lot

82
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:38,400
Speaker 1: of the OTAs, and even through training camp, he's been

83
00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:44,240
Speaker 1: getting a lot of smelly stickers and smelly stickers back.

84
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:47,000
Speaker 1: He's been getting those smelly stickers, and then he has

85
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:49,640
Speaker 1: that first quarter where it's like whoa, he gets yanked.

86
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:52,200
Speaker 1: Cooper Rush comes in, he throws some good balls, and

87
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:55,679
Speaker 1: now all of a sudden, everybody is turning those smelly

88
00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:58,799
Speaker 1: stickers over to Cooper Rush, talking about him and having

89
00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:01,920
Speaker 1: a good practice yesterday. Ain't throwing dimes to Mark Cooper.

90
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:05,400
Speaker 1: So you know, I just want to see Double G

91
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:08,480
Speaker 1: get back in it because I still feel like he's

92
00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:10,720
Speaker 1: I just still feel like he's better than Cooper Rush.

93
00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:13,640
Speaker 1: That's just my evaluation of the two quarterbacks so far.

94
00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:14,960
Speaker 1: I think this is one of the few times that

95
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:17,280
Speaker 1: you can say, and you know, obviously you know coach

96
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:19,560
Speaker 1: just alluded to it in this press conference, but that

97
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:21,720
Speaker 1: you're going into the fourth gaming and you're undecided on

98
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:23,600
Speaker 1: your back up. I think this is one of the

99
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:25,640
Speaker 1: few times that you could probably look back in history

100
00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:27,880
Speaker 1: and say, we don't know who our number two is.

101
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:29,520
Speaker 1: And I think that is very much so the case.

102
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:31,640
Speaker 1: And this is a very important game obviously for Rush,

103
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:33,960
Speaker 1: but Double G you know, can you snapback? Are they

104
00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:36,120
Speaker 1: playing games or have you really lost some lost some

105
00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:38,200
Speaker 1: tread right, you lost some confidence and the players have

106
00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:40,560
Speaker 1: lost some confidence. We've already talked about that. Now you're

107
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:42,440
Speaker 1: giving Cooper Rushing an opportunity to go out there and

108
00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:44,920
Speaker 1: make some plays. Sneaky. You know, it's like, as this

109
00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:46,680
Speaker 1: is when it gets real. This is when you, guys,

110
00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:49,479
Speaker 1: when as fans you got understand that this is this

111
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:52,479
Speaker 1: is a team. However, there's a lot of individual battles

112
00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:55,440
Speaker 1: going on, right, So you're you're fighting for yourself. Let's

113
00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:58,200
Speaker 1: not get this confused. You were the team starts with Ie.

114
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:01,080
Speaker 1: If there's no Ie, there's no team, because the team

115
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:03,159
Speaker 1: is a collection of eyes, right, So you have to

116
00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:04,640
Speaker 1: go out there, you have to compete for yourself and

117
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:06,640
Speaker 1: in the process you hope that you can obviously make

118
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:10,080
Speaker 1: some some donations to the team. It is interesting because, Okay,

119
00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:12,720
Speaker 1: Dak pulls himself out of practice July twenty eight, So

120
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:17,520
Speaker 1: from like July twenty ninth till August twentieth, it's Cooper

121
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:21,640
Speaker 1: Rush is taking the second team reps, and it's Garrett

122
00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:24,080
Speaker 1: Gilbert pretty much all the first team reps. Kyle Yeah

123
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:25,800
Speaker 1: in Ox and hard carrying over to here, and then

124
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:27,320
Speaker 1: all of a sudden we get to the game and

125
00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:31,760
Speaker 1: they want to balance it out a little bit. Soble

126
00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:34,440
Speaker 1: gave a reason, right, Double G gave them a reason

127
00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:36,800
Speaker 1: to look at Rush a little bit more intentfully that

128
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:38,880
Speaker 1: that was on Double G's fault. That was his fault.

129
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:42,279
Speaker 1: He For those who've never seen the Friday and then

130
00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:44,560
Speaker 1: the movie Friday, Debo used to creep in the window

131
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:46,600
Speaker 1: if you left the window open, right that the neighborhood

132
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:48,440
Speaker 1: bully was. The name was Debo. He would live you

133
00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:51,000
Speaker 1: left the window cracked open. He coming through that dog

134
00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:53,839
Speaker 1: on the door. I come through that window. Cooper Rush, Debot,

135
00:06:55,279 --> 00:07:01,120
Speaker 1: Cooper Rush creeping in the window. Just be realistic. I mean,

136
00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:04,720
Speaker 1: let's this is a preface with God forbid, you know,

137
00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:09,760
Speaker 1: but God forbid if something happens where you start the

138
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:12,000
Speaker 1: season with Russia as your backup and he has to

139
00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:14,640
Speaker 1: go in at Tampa. If I mean, like I say,

140
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:16,480
Speaker 1: God forbid, Gud's why y'all looking at me like that.

141
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:18,400
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, just feel like you're putting it out

142
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:20,920
Speaker 1: in the opening. Well, what I'm saying, but I'm actually saying,

143
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:23,760
Speaker 1: is from what coach McCarthy is saying, I think he's

144
00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:26,440
Speaker 1: dealing in the reality of that that if that is

145
00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:28,080
Speaker 1: what you have to if that's going to be your

146
00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:31,160
Speaker 1: second quarterback, then he's not confident in it. You have

147
00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:34,520
Speaker 1: to dabble in that. You have to think that way,

148
00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:36,600
Speaker 1: just the way that the world is working the last

149
00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:39,520
Speaker 1: couple of years, because if not, you're going to be underprepared.

150
00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:41,720
Speaker 1: You're not going to be prepared for something. If something

151
00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:44,480
Speaker 1: were to happen to Dak Prescott, you gotta have some

152
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:47,160
Speaker 1: sort of security, and right now I don't think you do.

153
00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:50,280
Speaker 1: And the crazy thing is is kind of going back

154
00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:53,440
Speaker 1: to what Isaiah was saying with keeping that that window cracked.

155
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:56,760
Speaker 1: Was that had to happen at least the moment when

156
00:07:56,800 --> 00:07:59,160
Speaker 1: the coaching staff said, hey, Gary Gilbert's giving us a

157
00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:01,200
Speaker 1: reason to look at Cooper Rush a little bit more.

158
00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:05,320
Speaker 1: That had to happen before the Texans game. It had

159
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:07,640
Speaker 1: to happen well before that. No, I think Cooper Rush

160
00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:10,680
Speaker 1: has been practicing well now that he's a little healthier

161
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:12,640
Speaker 1: than he was early in camp. I think that's part

162
00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:14,960
Speaker 1: of it. I don't think it's all double G not

163
00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:17,560
Speaker 1: doing enough, sure, but I do think one other thing

164
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:20,240
Speaker 1: to remember if y'all watched Hard Knocks last night, I

165
00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:22,880
Speaker 1: don't know I caught it the end Mike McCarthy. He

166
00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:24,680
Speaker 1: said in the press conference after the game, but also

167
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:27,080
Speaker 1: in the locker room. The turnover margin, like he is

168
00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:30,600
Speaker 1: not happy with that. Benda Nucci throws three picks they

169
00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:32,440
Speaker 1: had they were minus four in the game. That was

170
00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:34,600
Speaker 1: the biggest problem this team had last year, one of

171
00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:38,160
Speaker 1: the biggest problems. And Cooper Rush has done a better

172
00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:39,880
Speaker 1: job of taking here to care of the ball at

173
00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:41,760
Speaker 1: this point. And if you're if you're coming in as

174
00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:45,600
Speaker 1: the backup quarterback, that's number one is don't make a mistake.

175
00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:47,079
Speaker 1: You got to be able to make plays, but you

176
00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:49,080
Speaker 1: got to be able to get your team in the

177
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:51,800
Speaker 1: right plays the right situations and don't turn it over.

178
00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:54,400
Speaker 1: And that's probably the best thing Cooper Rush does. In

179
00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:56,600
Speaker 1: addition to being comfortable with the alf you're saying, Cooper

180
00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:59,480
Speaker 1: Rush acknowledge what the most important thing to his coach was.

181
00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:01,959
Speaker 1: He chose to make sure that he that he tends

182
00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:04,679
Speaker 1: to those needs he has to this point. Um, he

183
00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:08,800
Speaker 1: didn't throw one up for grabs before halftime, thank you. Yeah,

184
00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:11,440
Speaker 1: but he's I think he's just done the better job

185
00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:13,600
Speaker 1: of the three in that regard, in the reps that

186
00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:16,400
Speaker 1: they've all had to this point. To this point, defense,

187
00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:20,679
Speaker 1: I'm still laughing about the defenses. Will defenses will bum

188
00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:24,480
Speaker 1: rush us. I mean, if we start if either one though, right,

189
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:26,760
Speaker 1: I mean either one. It's either one, yeah, either one

190
00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:29,840
Speaker 1: either We've we've all said this. I think we I

191
00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:32,559
Speaker 1: don't think any of us truly believe that our backup

192
00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:35,840
Speaker 1: quarterback is on this roster, right, not anymore? Well I

193
00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:40,199
Speaker 1: thought that way going in. I was, well, I never yeah,

194
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:42,240
Speaker 1: I never thought that our backup quarterback was on this roster.

195
00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:44,640
Speaker 1: And as we're seeing things happen around the league, there

196
00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:46,880
Speaker 1: are other teams like as I mentioned right, as we

197
00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:49,679
Speaker 1: get closer here, less and less opportunities to go out

198
00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:51,800
Speaker 1: there and grab somebody. I mean, we saw what happened

199
00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:54,240
Speaker 1: with Atlanta who they wouldn't got, and they just let

200
00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:56,079
Speaker 1: you know. There's not a lot out there in terms

201
00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:58,880
Speaker 1: of quarterbacks. So we have to figure this out and

202
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:01,040
Speaker 1: it's gonna come down to this game. I was very

203
00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:05,160
Speaker 1: bullish on Oh on our guy. I mean I was

204
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:08,479
Speaker 1: I thought DOUBLEG had something. Wow, I was. I meant,

205
00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:12,559
Speaker 1: but you still think wow, right, I still still think

206
00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:15,080
Speaker 1: he's a better I do. You just wanted to be

207
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:20,240
Speaker 1: triple G. They ain't going triple It's going And I

208
00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:24,439
Speaker 1: even called g wagon. You know it's going back. Why

209
00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:27,200
Speaker 1: Why is it always the backup quarterbacks that we're able

210
00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:29,760
Speaker 1: to make the best names for him? Man? Yeah? Like

211
00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:33,960
Speaker 1: why is it Nucci Man and Ducci? Nucci? And I

212
00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:36,839
Speaker 1: don't know, Man, I acknowledge, I acknowledge the efforts of

213
00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:39,040
Speaker 1: these guys, Both of these guys. I acknowledge their efforts,

214
00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:41,920
Speaker 1: and they I think they've both done a tremendous job competing.

215
00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:45,560
Speaker 1: It's not they are not of the caliber of what

216
00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:47,839
Speaker 1: we need coming off of what we faced last year.

217
00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:50,000
Speaker 1: And that's fact. I thought we were starting on something

218
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:52,679
Speaker 1: positive and we did start star we started there. I mean,

219
00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:54,480
Speaker 1: but this is the reality. This is the reality. This

220
00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:57,439
Speaker 1: is this is our reality. Two weeks from tomorrow, two

221
00:10:57,480 --> 00:11:00,280
Speaker 1: weeks from tomorrow, we're playing the best team in world

222
00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:04,800
Speaker 1: as a last year, Yes, and we're not secure in

223
00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:09,200
Speaker 1: this particular position. If something drastic was to happen, yeah,

224
00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:11,679
Speaker 1: I mean I and I'm with you, like, I'd be

225
00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:15,120
Speaker 1: shocked if they don't do their diligence and look around

226
00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:17,880
Speaker 1: once cuts happen and all that stuff, I'm not convinced

227
00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:21,160
Speaker 1: that they won't just stick with what they have. I mean, yeah,

228
00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:23,600
Speaker 1: I mean because that's a possibility. Yeah, because because even

229
00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:25,960
Speaker 1: if they did get somebody, are they prepared for that game? Right?

230
00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:28,959
Speaker 1: There's that too. Yeah, There's so many different aspects that

231
00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:31,480
Speaker 1: go into it. And you want one of those three

232
00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:33,320
Speaker 1: guys to win the job. And I guess now you

233
00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:35,840
Speaker 1: can kind of dwindle it down to two, but you

234
00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:37,920
Speaker 1: want one of those two guys to win the job.

235
00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:41,320
Speaker 1: And because it saves you money, it saves you hardach,

236
00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:44,880
Speaker 1: it saves you preparation time, and you want Cooper Rusher

237
00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:47,679
Speaker 1: Garrett Gilbert to be that guy. So we've talked enough

238
00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:50,319
Speaker 1: about the backup quarterback position, I think over last episode

239
00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:52,160
Speaker 1: and then in moving into today, But we do have

240
00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:55,360
Speaker 1: some not so good news to report. The Cowboys added

241
00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:59,720
Speaker 1: a couple more players to the COVID nineteen protocol. Demonte

242
00:11:59,840 --> 00:12:03,000
Speaker 1: Kay was a part of that. So was Connor Williams,

243
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:06,079
Speaker 1: who we've already seen needed the reps in terms of

244
00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:10,559
Speaker 1: his new responsibilities on the offensive line. Adds to quite

245
00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:13,160
Speaker 1: the extensive list. Now what is it now? Six players?

246
00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:15,640
Speaker 1: Rob and then Dan Quinn a part of that as well. Yeah,

247
00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:20,440
Speaker 1: six players, Um, you mentioned Kazy Connor Williams, Malie Cooker,

248
00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:25,360
Speaker 1: Israel mcquamo, Ceedee Lamb, and Carlos Watkins who did not

249
00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:29,199
Speaker 1: play Sun Saturday and left the stadium early along with

250
00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:32,160
Speaker 1: Dan Quinn. So I think Mike McCarthy told us yesterday

251
00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:37,880
Speaker 1: that two players were close contacts. So it's it's it's

252
00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:41,920
Speaker 1: a confusing deal because there's different Yeah, I mean, it's it.

253
00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:44,640
Speaker 1: Mike said it like there's different variables and different rules

254
00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:48,640
Speaker 1: for players and staff based on their vaccination status and

255
00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:51,079
Speaker 1: whether the close contact and all those things. So to

256
00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:54,960
Speaker 1: really know when when guys are going to be eligible

257
00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:57,200
Speaker 1: to come back, it just depends, and they're not really

258
00:12:57,280 --> 00:13:00,440
Speaker 1: disclosing that they're I can read you some of these rules,

259
00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:01,920
Speaker 1: but I don't know if anybody wants to hear all that.

260
00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:04,160
Speaker 1: But now let's let's listen to it. I want to

261
00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:06,800
Speaker 1: hear it, Okay, I mean, here's this is from the league.

262
00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:09,400
Speaker 1: If a vaccinated I think Mickey found this for me.

263
00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:13,440
Speaker 1: If a vaccinated person test positive and it's asymptomatic, they're

264
00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:18,480
Speaker 1: isolated contact tracing, Uh, they're permitted to return after two

265
00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:21,400
Speaker 1: negative tests at least twenty four hours apart, and be

266
00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:24,439
Speaker 1: tested every two weeks or as directed by medical stats.

267
00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:27,600
Speaker 1: If you're vaccinated, you're not subject to quarantine as a

268
00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:31,040
Speaker 1: result of a close contact. Um. Okay, So if you're

269
00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:35,160
Speaker 1: unvaccinated and you test positive, same protocols from twenty twenty,

270
00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:38,959
Speaker 1: isolated for ten days, and if you're asymptomatic, then can

271
00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:42,880
Speaker 1: return unvaccinated, subject to five day quarantine if they have

272
00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:46,240
Speaker 1: close contact with someone. So it just depends and and

273
00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:49,120
Speaker 1: and what what's you know now? Like I said, I

274
00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:52,520
Speaker 1: said it, we're only a few days now from the opener,

275
00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:55,080
Speaker 1: and you've got multiple guys in this in this protocol.

276
00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:58,280
Speaker 1: It's you know, it's it's it's tough because you're starting

277
00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:00,600
Speaker 1: to feel like this is twenty twenty again, where you

278
00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:02,440
Speaker 1: know they're trying to manage this and they're back in

279
00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:06,080
Speaker 1: virtual mode again today with their meetings, they are practicing today,

280
00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:08,520
Speaker 1: and Mike said, they're you know, their plan is to

281
00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:10,960
Speaker 1: play this game, but your hope that there's nothing else

282
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:13,640
Speaker 1: that happens tomorrow, because every day it's kind of been

283
00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:17,560
Speaker 1: something new. And you even look at last year, and

284
00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:20,160
Speaker 1: of course twenty twenty was crazy for everybody, more so

285
00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:23,880
Speaker 1: than some, more so than others. But there's more people

286
00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:28,400
Speaker 1: in the COVID protocol now than there was last year

287
00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:31,080
Speaker 1: at any point, right, I mean, this is this is

288
00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:33,920
Speaker 1: as big of an outbreak. I hate using that word,

289
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:37,720
Speaker 1: but that's kind of what it is. That's what he said. Yeah,

290
00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:40,160
Speaker 1: it was his direct quote, but I mean, this is

291
00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:41,960
Speaker 1: as much of an outbreak as the Cowboys have had

292
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:44,840
Speaker 1: to deal with. Yeah, and the NFL did not help

293
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:48,040
Speaker 1: anything this year. They made it more complicated than it's

294
00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:49,760
Speaker 1: ever been. Obviously, we've been dealing with this for the

295
00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:51,600
Speaker 1: last year. So now that you have all these different

296
00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:55,760
Speaker 1: statuses and levels, and you know, they created this division

297
00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:58,160
Speaker 1: where you're if you're vaccinated, it's this treatment. If you're

298
00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:01,240
Speaker 1: not vaccinated as this treatment. You know, you don't want

299
00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:02,920
Speaker 1: to see anybody. You don't want to see this virus

300
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:05,040
Speaker 1: going room. You don't want to see the virus going around.

301
00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:08,320
Speaker 1: But the reality is it is going around. Um and

302
00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:10,800
Speaker 1: we wish it was clear cut in terms of, hey,

303
00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:14,080
Speaker 1: if you have the virus, this is what happens, regardless

304
00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:17,160
Speaker 1: of what your status is, regardless, but it's not that simple,

305
00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:19,480
Speaker 1: and I think it's really complicated things, and it's made

306
00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:23,600
Speaker 1: it more difficult for organizations to handle now because of

307
00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:25,720
Speaker 1: the rules that they've set in stone. Now they have

308
00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:28,120
Speaker 1: to go back to contact tracing. Okay, how you distinguish

309
00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:31,400
Speaker 1: whether the unvaccinated person had it first or the vaccinated

310
00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:33,840
Speaker 1: person had it first? Like? Okay? And then now if

311
00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:35,680
Speaker 1: you guys can't play the game, whose fault is it?

312
00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:38,240
Speaker 1: Is it the vaccinated persons fause? Is unvaccinated person's fault?

313
00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:41,840
Speaker 1: You forfeit? Yeah? Do you do not happen? Do your

314
00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:44,560
Speaker 1: organization and the organization lose their checks? Or does this

315
00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:45,960
Speaker 1: person have to go sit in the room for five days?

316
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:48,000
Speaker 1: It does that person sitting room for ten days? It's

317
00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:51,040
Speaker 1: beyond confusing now. I think they've made more of an

318
00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:53,640
Speaker 1: issue of it now than it was last year. You know,

319
00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:56,680
Speaker 1: I disagree with you. Okay, And I feel as though

320
00:15:56,720 --> 00:16:01,280
Speaker 1: the NFL has tried to incentivize team to have the

321
00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:05,800
Speaker 1: facilities vaccinated. I think as a business they realize that

322
00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:09,040
Speaker 1: their business model is struggling because of twenty twenty, because

323
00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:12,120
Speaker 1: of the amount because of COVID. You're not able to

324
00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:14,960
Speaker 1: have people in the stands. You're not You're you're canceling

325
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:17,040
Speaker 1: games you're having to reschedule. They can't do that with

326
00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:20,160
Speaker 1: a seventeen game season. They put the protocol out there.

327
00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:22,200
Speaker 1: You have teams that are one hundred percent vaccinator, you

328
00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:25,400
Speaker 1: have teams that are seventy eighty percent vaccinated. The way

329
00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:27,960
Speaker 1: that they're making the rules for teams and their guys

330
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:31,840
Speaker 1: to try and put this COVID, this virus behind us,

331
00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:35,600
Speaker 1: I think is it's smart in a way. You can't

332
00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:39,960
Speaker 1: you can't judge a whole league that's trying to find

333
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:44,080
Speaker 1: a solution for a global problem. This is what this

334
00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:46,840
Speaker 1: is what we're dealing with. And now that people are

335
00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:49,800
Speaker 1: trying to self diagnose or tell themselves how they can

336
00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:52,720
Speaker 1: deal with this, the NFL said, no, we're gonna put

337
00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:54,560
Speaker 1: these rules out here in black and white, and this

338
00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:55,920
Speaker 1: is the way that it's going to go. And it

339
00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:58,600
Speaker 1: may not be perfect, and it didn't all happen in

340
00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:01,800
Speaker 1: the vacuum, but we're dealing with this as a society,

341
00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:04,760
Speaker 1: and smarter people have to come together and say, look,

342
00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:07,040
Speaker 1: this is how when we're talking about football, when I

343
00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:10,399
Speaker 1: talking about society, how do we get the brand of

344
00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:15,200
Speaker 1: football to go forward post pandemic. And you know, if

345
00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:18,439
Speaker 1: anyone has anything smart to say please send it to

346
00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:20,720
Speaker 1: the NFL. But I think for the from the NFL

347
00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:23,520
Speaker 1: and the owner standpoint, I have to push my guys

348
00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:26,560
Speaker 1: to be vaccinated because that is the road of least

349
00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:30,160
Speaker 1: resistance for us to get this league going forward. Right now,

350
00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:33,879
Speaker 1: you can't go forward because everything is so convoluted with

351
00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:37,000
Speaker 1: the guys that refuse to take the vaccine. And again

352
00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:39,520
Speaker 1: that's a whole nother issue, and we're gonna take up

353
00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:42,160
Speaker 1: the whole show based off of that. But I just

354
00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:44,840
Speaker 1: that's just my that's just my angle. And now it's

355
00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:47,080
Speaker 1: very well said, very well said from your point, because

356
00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:49,040
Speaker 1: there is no cut and dry answer, and you got

357
00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:51,480
Speaker 1: to find a way what's best for you, your organization,

358
00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:53,480
Speaker 1: and the league as a whole to be able to

359
00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:57,560
Speaker 1: further the sport. That's bar nutt. One other thing. As

360
00:17:57,560 --> 00:18:01,880
Speaker 1: of Saturday, the Cowboys announced nine the rosters vaccinated, so

361
00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:05,399
Speaker 1: vast majority, only handful of players are not. So you know,

362
00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:08,159
Speaker 1: your hope would be guys that have tested positive that

363
00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:11,600
Speaker 1: are on this COVID list. Hopefully, hopefully everybody feels better soon.

364
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:15,119
Speaker 1: If they do have symptoms that can get back relatively quickly,

365
00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:19,080
Speaker 1: we'll see um. But in the meantime for practice they had.

366
00:18:19,119 --> 00:18:20,840
Speaker 1: This is an issue yesterday and it's an issue again

367
00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:23,440
Speaker 1: today even more so. Down to four safeties on the

368
00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:26,880
Speaker 1: roster they're practicing today and Trayvon Diggs at the cornerback

369
00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:31,600
Speaker 1: position not practicing because of a non COVID illness. So

370
00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:36,600
Speaker 1: it's just it's just coming in. Mike McCarthy's got to

371
00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:39,640
Speaker 1: be like, man, this is just my team can't catch

372
00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:42,760
Speaker 1: a break. But you know, when Wilson's got a growing injury.

373
00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:45,399
Speaker 1: To the positive to all this, right, this is all

374
00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:48,719
Speaker 1: very frustrating and all that, But the positive this, if

375
00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:50,719
Speaker 1: this is going to happen, you much rather happened two

376
00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:54,000
Speaker 1: weeks before your game, no doubt, no doubt if it

377
00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:55,880
Speaker 1: was going more than two weeks before. Like you said,

378
00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:58,000
Speaker 1: I mean, we're at two weeks tomorrow, so there's plenty

379
00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:01,160
Speaker 1: of time for week one and whenever the game's count

380
00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:04,320
Speaker 1: to really get back to full strength. It's but it's

381
00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:06,960
Speaker 1: I mean, it's go time now to contain it. So

382
00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:09,720
Speaker 1: lots of pressure on the Cowboys, not only on the

383
00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:12,480
Speaker 1: field but off the field as well. But I'm tired

384
00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:14,960
Speaker 1: of talking about that stuff. I'm tired. I'm so done

385
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:16,719
Speaker 1: with it. I know people at home are tired of

386
00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:18,840
Speaker 1: listening to it. It's a news story and we gotta

387
00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:21,360
Speaker 1: hit it. We have to. But I mean it's affecting

388
00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:25,160
Speaker 1: the team right now, the meeting. It's affecting practice in

389
00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:27,360
Speaker 1: terms of numbers. I mean, it's just it's like injuries.

390
00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:29,600
Speaker 1: I mean, it's the same, it's the same deal. It's

391
00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:31,800
Speaker 1: still it's a scary virus going around. Man, Yeah, it is.

392
00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:34,320
Speaker 1: It's scary. We so we've We've done our due diligence.

393
00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:36,200
Speaker 1: We talked about it. So now let's move on and

394
00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:38,720
Speaker 1: let's be happy. What's what's one of the happiest things

395
00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:42,200
Speaker 1: about this about this team this year? It's the wide

396
00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:44,280
Speaker 1: receiver group and that Amari Cooper is coming back and

397
00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:46,600
Speaker 1: he's fully healthy. We're gonna talk about Amari Cooper and

398
00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:48,760
Speaker 1: what we saw from Cooper in this wide receiving Corps

399
00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:53,320
Speaker 1: when we come back with more talking cowboys. Honey, big news. Scary,

Speaker 1: are you? Okay? Oh? I'm not Gary anymore. I'm Jackie Flash.

00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:19,520
Speaker 1: rest of the other shows too. Yeah, you want to

457
00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:22,360
Speaker 1: sprinkle that on Yeah, Yeah, let's just throw that up there.

458
00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:27,600
Speaker 1: But just leave it up there. Yeah there. We've got

459
00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:30,000
Speaker 1: a documentary coming out this week too, where it's all

460
00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:33,440
Speaker 1: only a talking cowboys voice on that. But it's gonna

461
00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:36,960
Speaker 1: be six nothing past. Here's the thing about that, Like Jesus,

462
00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:40,000
Speaker 1: when Shannon makes that statement about it being the most

463
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:44,520
Speaker 1: searched it was when he wasn't on the show. Wow, wow, wow,

464
00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:46,720
Speaker 1: Really that's a dub for us to say it loud

465
00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:51,040
Speaker 1: for people in the back. Heck, I'm just saying in

466
00:23:51,119 --> 00:23:57,119
Speaker 1: a green shirt. Oh heck was wearing a green shirt

467
00:23:57,160 --> 00:24:00,239
Speaker 1: for those of you listening to just be all right,

468
00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:04,000
Speaker 1: let's talk about wide receivers and Amari Cooper because let's

469
00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:06,879
Speaker 1: let's take a little uptick we're trying to here. We

470
00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:10,160
Speaker 1: do love Shannon Mark Cooper back out of practice. Of course,

471
00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:12,080
Speaker 1: last week there was a big feature on him on

472
00:24:12,119 --> 00:24:14,280
Speaker 1: Hard Knocks, kind of getting back into the mix. And then,

473
00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:17,919
Speaker 1: I mean, yesterday just made a fantastic grab off a

474
00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:20,320
Speaker 1: throw from Amari Cooper. Heck, when you were out of practice,

475
00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:24,080
Speaker 1: what did you see from Amara yesterday? Outside of the

476
00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:26,959
Speaker 1: fantastic grab, man, We have to start putting some respect

477
00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:30,240
Speaker 1: on that man's name. I know we are all waiting

478
00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:33,440
Speaker 1: for CD Lamb to emerge as what we believe he's

479
00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:38,160
Speaker 1: going to be. But Amari Cooper is that right now, today, today,

480
00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:40,360
Speaker 1: right now? That would be to nitty if I could

481
00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:43,479
Speaker 1: combine a word on this show, and that's what he is.

482
00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:45,840
Speaker 1: I mean, this guy even a Hard Knocks. This is

483
00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:47,240
Speaker 1: a part and Hard Knocks. If you didn't watch it,

484
00:24:47,280 --> 00:24:51,000
Speaker 1: I think it was just awesome him just being big mentoring,

485
00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:53,800
Speaker 1: being big brother to CD and just showing him his

486
00:24:53,920 --> 00:24:56,439
Speaker 1: release and man, just the way that he's putting this

487
00:24:56,520 --> 00:24:59,320
Speaker 1: moves together his whole career. I think that's the part

488
00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:02,760
Speaker 1: that and I've even, you know, kind of fallen into

489
00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:05,880
Speaker 1: that whole argument about number one number two. He's he's

490
00:25:05,920 --> 00:25:08,439
Speaker 1: the alpha though he's he's number one. And he ran

491
00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:12,359
Speaker 1: a fade route yesterday versus did God bless Trayvon Diggs.

492
00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:14,639
Speaker 1: He came up a little gimpy at the end of

493
00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:17,920
Speaker 1: the play. It was his ankle, Okay, it was his ankle, yeah,

494
00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:24,840
Speaker 1: but he faded him. Boy, he faded him on the face.

495
00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:29,880
Speaker 1: Oh man, he lost him. Trayvon said, he pushed off.

496
00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:35,639
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that's what what was that? That guy from Utah.

497
00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:38,040
Speaker 1: He always says that Jordan pushed off too. But the

498
00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:41,520
Speaker 1: Gatorade commercial is still the same Bryan Russell Russell, Ye,

499
00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:46,120
Speaker 1: still the same. Cornerbacks say the receivers say that they

500
00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:48,720
Speaker 1: hold it's just it's it's it's kind of a thing. Yeah, yeah,

501
00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:51,520
Speaker 1: it is. Is where does Samari rank in terms of

502
00:25:51,560 --> 00:25:55,400
Speaker 1: the best route runners you've ever seen Isaiah because he's

503
00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:57,960
Speaker 1: I mean, he is as clean of a route runner

504
00:25:57,960 --> 00:26:00,560
Speaker 1: as you could potentially get to. I mean he is

505
00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:05,640
Speaker 1: a top elite echelon of of what that what that

506
00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:08,760
Speaker 1: is as a receiver. I think about that one. I mean,

507
00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:11,080
Speaker 1: he's definitely up there in terms of the league right now.

508
00:26:11,600 --> 00:26:14,640
Speaker 1: Over the overall, you know, you got guys that come

509
00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:18,520
Speaker 1: to mind, like Julio, Like Julio, Like Julio is a

510
00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:23,240
Speaker 1: freaking doctor. You know, um Ridley stupid, stupid, I mean,

511
00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:25,119
Speaker 1: you know so, I mean, you gotta there's a handful

512
00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:27,320
Speaker 1: of guys that runs some amazing routes. Of footwork is

513
00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:30,760
Speaker 1: kind of ridiculous, and it's really become a focal point

514
00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:32,359
Speaker 1: in the off season. I think he used to be

515
00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:35,119
Speaker 1: taking for granted that receivers just had good footwork, and

516
00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:36,879
Speaker 1: now over the past years, I don't know if it's

517
00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:40,560
Speaker 1: social media somebody's foot specialists that are on social media now,

518
00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:42,560
Speaker 1: but you find a lot of guys going to find

519
00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:45,320
Speaker 1: these these foot specialists. I mean, even Zeke this offseason.

520
00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:47,960
Speaker 1: That's why his footworking proved. He found somebody who who

521
00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:51,200
Speaker 1: works specifically on things that he that he wasn't naturally

522
00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:53,399
Speaker 1: good at, so um people are taking a lot more

523
00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:55,960
Speaker 1: seriously now. But in terms of just his experience and

524
00:26:55,960 --> 00:26:57,400
Speaker 1: where he stands in the league right now, I think

525
00:26:57,440 --> 00:26:59,320
Speaker 1: you have to put him in the top five that

526
00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:02,240
Speaker 1: can see top five, maybe guys like Justin Jefferson in

527
00:27:02,280 --> 00:27:05,879
Speaker 1: there as well as a young guy Fonte Adams. Got

528
00:27:05,960 --> 00:27:07,840
Speaker 1: to put him up there, way up there. There's a

529
00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:10,040
Speaker 1: lot of good, really good receivers in his league, and

530
00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:12,600
Speaker 1: Amari takes so much pride in it too. You know.

531
00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:16,280
Speaker 1: I think he talked about something last week how he's

532
00:27:16,280 --> 00:27:19,440
Speaker 1: a quiet guy and he doesn't like how people think it.

533
00:27:20,520 --> 00:27:23,000
Speaker 1: It translates, oh, he doesn't care. You know. He takes

534
00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:26,280
Speaker 1: offense to that. And if you listen to him talk

535
00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:29,240
Speaker 1: about running routes, like in the locker room before when

536
00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:30,960
Speaker 1: we could go in the locker room before COVID, he

537
00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:33,840
Speaker 1: would talk about running routes like like it's art, like

538
00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:36,919
Speaker 1: it's painting on a canvas or something like he loves

539
00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:39,600
Speaker 1: it more than anything. And so he just takes a

540
00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:41,440
Speaker 1: lot of pride in it and it shows for sure.

541
00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:44,680
Speaker 1: And you saw that in the Heart Knocks episode as well.

542
00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:47,720
Speaker 1: I mean one on one with Ceedee Lamb and showing

543
00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:49,920
Speaker 1: him exactly how to get up off the Linus scrimmage,

544
00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:51,320
Speaker 1: how to kind of fake one way go to the

545
00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:53,520
Speaker 1: other way, I mean, and Cede was soaking it all

546
00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:55,639
Speaker 1: in if you're going to get a master class and

547
00:27:55,720 --> 00:27:57,440
Speaker 1: running round. So Marie Cooper is the one that you

548
00:27:57,480 --> 00:28:00,520
Speaker 1: want teaching and I know him just a physical aspect,

549
00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:02,719
Speaker 1: I mean, the mental side of what he was coaching

550
00:28:02,760 --> 00:28:05,159
Speaker 1: CD on. You know, he was teaching CD this is

551
00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:07,560
Speaker 1: what they're thinking, right, They naturally have an instinct to

552
00:28:07,560 --> 00:28:09,159
Speaker 1: do this right. So these are the things that you

553
00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:12,040
Speaker 1: have to take into consideration when you're running your releases.

554
00:28:12,080 --> 00:28:14,680
Speaker 1: So it's not only the physical side of his helping

555
00:28:14,760 --> 00:28:17,040
Speaker 1: CD's physical approach to the line of scrimmage, but it's

556
00:28:17,040 --> 00:28:18,560
Speaker 1: also the mental and that's what's going to be a

557
00:28:18,640 --> 00:28:21,639
Speaker 1: huge leap in CD's development. And Isaia, I'm sure you

558
00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:24,080
Speaker 1: can speak to this being in film study and you're

559
00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:26,359
Speaker 1: sitting there, you're going over the seven H sevens and

560
00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:28,880
Speaker 1: one on ones and you're with that clicker in your hand.

561
00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:31,160
Speaker 1: You can slow that thing down and see what Amark

562
00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:33,680
Speaker 1: Cooper is doing. So that's in the DV room that's

563
00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:35,880
Speaker 1: in the word wide receiving rooms. They see what number

564
00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:38,200
Speaker 1: nineteen is doing out there. There's there's no replacement to

565
00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:42,640
Speaker 1: having to having a respective veteran receiver teaching you not

566
00:28:42,760 --> 00:28:44,920
Speaker 1: only you know how to run routes right and some

567
00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:47,200
Speaker 1: of the some of the savvy moves, you know, the

568
00:28:47,360 --> 00:28:49,239
Speaker 1: end of the outs, to releases, all that stuff, but

569
00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:52,040
Speaker 1: also your mental approach. And like I can remember my

570
00:28:52,120 --> 00:28:54,440
Speaker 1: time when I was learning from Teo or you know,

571
00:28:54,520 --> 00:28:57,080
Speaker 1: Patrick Crayton or Terry Glenn or even when I went

572
00:28:57,120 --> 00:28:59,520
Speaker 1: to New England, I was learning from Randy Moss and Westwoker,

573
00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:02,120
Speaker 1: Like these dudes can run some routes now, and just

574
00:29:02,160 --> 00:29:05,520
Speaker 1: to watch how they how they were already ahead of

575
00:29:05,600 --> 00:29:08,560
Speaker 1: the game, just by how guys lined up right when

576
00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:10,120
Speaker 1: they when they line up in the line of scrimmage.

577
00:29:10,120 --> 00:29:13,880
Speaker 1: There was times where Westwood, Westwood freaking change our release.

578
00:29:13,880 --> 00:29:15,920
Speaker 1: We're supposed to have a certain release, and he would

579
00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:18,960
Speaker 1: put himself in motion just to gain leverage come back,

580
00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:21,080
Speaker 1: and on his way back from motion, he would tell

581
00:29:21,120 --> 00:29:23,760
Speaker 1: me to take a different release than I was supposed

582
00:29:23,800 --> 00:29:25,640
Speaker 1: to be taking based upon are you know the way

583
00:29:25,680 --> 00:29:27,640
Speaker 1: the play was drawn up? And I would literally be

584
00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:29,160
Speaker 1: looking over my show, like, what did he just did?

585
00:29:29,160 --> 00:29:31,160
Speaker 1: He just tell me to go out and I would

586
00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:33,040
Speaker 1: do it. Obviously, I'm not going to question West and

587
00:29:33,040 --> 00:29:35,040
Speaker 1: I would run it. And he would kill the person

588
00:29:35,080 --> 00:29:36,680
Speaker 1: on a route, not only not because of what he

589
00:29:36,760 --> 00:29:40,040
Speaker 1: physically did, but because of what our alignment and leverage

590
00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:42,120
Speaker 1: and all those different things. Just the little adjustments of

591
00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:44,640
Speaker 1: those tweaks is just it's amazing to have somebody who

592
00:29:44,680 --> 00:29:47,239
Speaker 1: understands the game at that level and it makes it

593
00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:50,080
Speaker 1: makes everybody around him better as a whole. I mean,

594
00:29:50,120 --> 00:29:52,800
Speaker 1: you mentioned having those conversations in the wide receiver room

595
00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:55,280
Speaker 1: or great and ensure all the young wide receivers are

596
00:29:55,280 --> 00:29:57,360
Speaker 1: going to learn from that. Michael Gallup has certainly picked

597
00:29:57,440 --> 00:30:00,400
Speaker 1: up some things from playing with Amari Cooper. But then

598
00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:02,280
Speaker 1: you look across at the dB room and we were

599
00:30:02,280 --> 00:30:05,280
Speaker 1: talking about Treyvon Diggs earlier. His brother is a top

600
00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:08,760
Speaker 1: five potential route runner in the NFL. So having both

601
00:30:08,840 --> 00:30:12,680
Speaker 1: Stefon Diggs to learn from and Mary Cooper to learn from,

602
00:30:12,720 --> 00:30:14,560
Speaker 1: and then you got the athleticism to go up against

603
00:30:14,560 --> 00:30:17,240
Speaker 1: the guy like Ceedee Lamb. I mean, that's why treyvon

604
00:30:17,280 --> 00:30:20,840
Speaker 1: Diggs hass tough, because you know what you mentioned Stefon Diggs,

605
00:30:20,840 --> 00:30:23,400
Speaker 1: and automatically, I'm like, Wow, the top five just got

606
00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:26,560
Speaker 1: a lot more crowded. But Stefon Diggs is probably one

607
00:30:26,560 --> 00:30:28,840
Speaker 1: of these the greatest route run is there is in

608
00:30:28,920 --> 00:30:30,640
Speaker 1: the game right now. We just want to put him

609
00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:35,240
Speaker 1: up there. But you know, I value everything that you're

610
00:30:35,240 --> 00:30:38,280
Speaker 1: talking about about that veteran leadership, and also I love

611
00:30:38,320 --> 00:30:41,320
Speaker 1: the fact that CD understands that and realize that he

612
00:30:41,360 --> 00:30:44,040
Speaker 1: has this this tree of wisdom to to go to

613
00:30:44,040 --> 00:30:46,280
Speaker 1: to talk about what's happening in game and just him

614
00:30:46,280 --> 00:30:48,480
Speaker 1: tapping into that I think will make the difference on

615
00:30:48,520 --> 00:30:50,920
Speaker 1: this offense and especially making the difference in this wide

616
00:30:50,920 --> 00:30:53,760
Speaker 1: receiver room. Yeah, another thing that stuck out about Hard

617
00:30:53,840 --> 00:30:56,080
Speaker 1: Knocks last night. It was a couple of seconds after

618
00:30:56,400 --> 00:31:00,000
Speaker 1: Amari Cooper and Cede Lamb were talking how about Cede Lamb,

619
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:02,840
Speaker 1: I'm talking smack with with Michael Parsons a little bit.

620
00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:05,160
Speaker 1: That was fun to watch. I mean, those are two

621
00:31:05,200 --> 00:31:09,080
Speaker 1: young guys, Rob that you want to show that edge.

622
00:31:09,080 --> 00:31:10,640
Speaker 1: I mean, that's one of the big things that the

623
00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:12,680
Speaker 1: Cowboys needed in the off season was an edge, a

624
00:31:12,680 --> 00:31:16,080
Speaker 1: little nastiness, and even Michael Parsons as a rookie coming

625
00:31:16,120 --> 00:31:18,600
Speaker 1: in and showing that off was good to see. Tank

626
00:31:18,720 --> 00:31:21,240
Speaker 1: was asked about kind of his impact in the room

627
00:31:21,760 --> 00:31:23,680
Speaker 1: as a rookie coming in, and he said, yeah, he

628
00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:26,719
Speaker 1: talks a lot of s, so he does. I mean,

629
00:31:26,800 --> 00:31:28,840
Speaker 1: you can see it on hard knocks and it's I think.

630
00:31:29,320 --> 00:31:31,600
Speaker 1: I think that's good. You know, as long as he's

631
00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:34,440
Speaker 1: into his assignments and trying to learn and pick everything up,

632
00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:36,520
Speaker 1: which everything we've heard is that he does that, and

633
00:31:36,600 --> 00:31:39,600
Speaker 1: he's doing it really well. You're right. He brings kind

634
00:31:39,600 --> 00:31:42,560
Speaker 1: of that edge, and he brings speed four three, two

635
00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:45,920
Speaker 1: hundred fifty pounds running a for three, and he's physical.

636
00:31:46,720 --> 00:31:49,200
Speaker 1: That's like the biggest things this defense wanted. They wanted

637
00:31:49,240 --> 00:31:51,920
Speaker 1: to get faster and more physical and maybe have more

638
00:31:51,920 --> 00:31:54,240
Speaker 1: of that edge. And he brings all those three things.

639
00:31:54,240 --> 00:31:56,240
Speaker 1: As the twelfth pick in the draft, Yeah, CD lead

640
00:31:56,320 --> 00:31:59,360
Speaker 1: that man alone. But when you think about the best

641
00:31:59,360 --> 00:32:03,240
Speaker 1: linebackers in history, they all most of them had an edge,

642
00:32:03,760 --> 00:32:06,400
Speaker 1: most of them talked a little bit. Ray Lewis Ray

643
00:32:06,440 --> 00:32:08,560
Speaker 1: Ray Ray, I mean who who mean who who else

644
00:32:08,560 --> 00:32:09,960
Speaker 1: would you put up there? I mean, you think about

645
00:32:10,080 --> 00:32:12,760
Speaker 1: some of the quiet guys, you know, Willis and Wagner,

646
00:32:12,760 --> 00:32:16,960
Speaker 1: those guys don't talkhot Matthews, Clay Clay talked. I thought, yeah,

647
00:32:17,040 --> 00:32:22,680
Speaker 1: Clay talker. Locker probably did. Mike Singletary. Singletary just looked

648
00:32:22,680 --> 00:32:24,920
Speaker 1: at you with his eyes. His eyes talked, sick of bears.

649
00:32:25,200 --> 00:32:26,880
Speaker 1: His eyes talked right. So when you start thinking about

650
00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:29,880
Speaker 1: some of these these these really good linebackers in the

651
00:32:29,960 --> 00:32:32,200
Speaker 1: history of the NFL, majority of them had a little

652
00:32:32,200 --> 00:32:33,720
Speaker 1: bit of an edge. You know, you are even talking

653
00:32:33,760 --> 00:32:36,960
Speaker 1: about Harrison from freaking from Pittsburgh. Charles is scared of

654
00:32:37,040 --> 00:32:41,400
Speaker 1: crap at him, you know, like, yes, we had yes, Yes,

655
00:32:41,760 --> 00:32:43,000
Speaker 1: you want to you want to know where those guys

656
00:32:43,040 --> 00:32:45,600
Speaker 1: around on the field. No, and you want im For me?

657
00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:47,880
Speaker 1: I want my linebacker just a touch crate. I wanted

658
00:32:47,920 --> 00:32:49,960
Speaker 1: to be touched, a little little little nut loose, a

659
00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:52,920
Speaker 1: little touched, not all the way crazy, but just touched

660
00:32:52,960 --> 00:32:56,400
Speaker 1: a little bit. Yeah. And Mica he's man, He's a phenomenal,

661
00:32:56,480 --> 00:32:59,560
Speaker 1: phenomenal kid. And you can see his personality in his interviews. So,

662
00:32:59,760 --> 00:33:01,880
Speaker 1: I mean, look, it's gonna be a seventeen game season.

663
00:33:01,880 --> 00:33:04,600
Speaker 1: We're getting the sample size of him in the preseason,

664
00:33:04,680 --> 00:33:07,680
Speaker 1: and now we're seeing him on hard knocks. Now we're

665
00:33:07,720 --> 00:33:11,280
Speaker 1: gonna we're gonna get into hard knocks because there's a lot.

666
00:33:11,400 --> 00:33:13,680
Speaker 1: You know, I watched it and I had my popcorn O.

667
00:33:13,920 --> 00:33:15,880
Speaker 1: I loved it. Well, yeah, tell me about it. What

668
00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:18,560
Speaker 1: you think. Did you see the drone shot? First of all,

669
00:33:18,600 --> 00:33:20,880
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, that's awesome. Did y'all see the feel

670
00:33:20,960 --> 00:33:24,239
Speaker 1: the Dreams game between the White Side? Yeah, it's like

671
00:33:24,400 --> 00:33:27,080
Speaker 1: they saw that on Fox, which is really cool, Like yeah,

672
00:33:27,160 --> 00:33:29,120
Speaker 1: through the house and stuffing, and they're like, I see

673
00:33:29,160 --> 00:33:33,160
Speaker 1: that and I raised you the star. It was incredible.

674
00:33:33,200 --> 00:33:36,120
Speaker 1: That's amazing. And just getting calls from friends saying, man,

675
00:33:36,200 --> 00:33:39,160
Speaker 1: that is sick to building. This is sick, and I'm like, yeah,

676
00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:44,600
Speaker 1: I don't even know the half man this is set.

677
00:33:44,680 --> 00:33:46,880
Speaker 1: But it didn't even show at all. No, it didn't.

678
00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:50,080
Speaker 1: And you know, I'm just gonna say my favorite part

679
00:33:50,360 --> 00:33:53,960
Speaker 1: was Jerry on the helicopter. Jerry on the helicopter was

680
00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:56,400
Speaker 1: my favorite part. When the guy says, hey, is it okay?

681
00:33:56,520 --> 00:33:58,400
Speaker 1: So we gotta go back and pick up Steven and

682
00:33:58,800 --> 00:34:01,520

683
00:34:01,720 --> 00:34:03,280
Speaker 1: you know, no problems going back and pick him up.

684
00:34:03,400 --> 00:34:05,520
Speaker 1: I guess we're just gonna start the day by Effano,

685
00:34:08,280 --> 00:34:11,160
Speaker 1: and it was just it was hilarious because it just

686
00:34:11,160 --> 00:34:13,840
Speaker 1: showed that I mean, you look at Jerry Jones, the

687
00:34:13,920 --> 00:34:16,319
Speaker 1: billion there, the team on, He's a dad and he's

691
00:34:22,960 --> 00:34:25,880
Speaker 1: day by missing it a kid. That's that's pretty funny.

692
00:34:25,920 --> 00:34:28,480
Speaker 1: It was weird the other day when we had the

693
00:34:29,120 --> 00:34:32,040
Speaker 1: conversation with Jerry on the sideline for pregame and then

694
00:34:32,120 --> 00:34:34,680
Speaker 1: Stephen came in a couple of seconds later. I was

695
00:34:34,760 --> 00:34:37,040
Speaker 1: kind of pitching a question to Stephen and I was like,

696
00:34:37,080 --> 00:34:39,040
Speaker 1: I asked your father this a couple of moments ago,

697
00:34:39,040 --> 00:34:40,360
Speaker 1: and in my head, I was like, I don't know

698
00:34:40,360 --> 00:34:44,120
Speaker 1: if I've ever like really said that out loud, like

699
00:34:44,239 --> 00:34:47,640
Speaker 1: it's such like a business family, this is your father,

700
00:34:47,840 --> 00:34:49,600
Speaker 1: but it is his father. And it was like, I

701
00:34:49,600 --> 00:34:51,840
Speaker 1: don't know if I've ever really said it that way before.

702
00:34:51,880 --> 00:34:53,520
Speaker 1: It was kind of interesting, but that that that one

703
00:34:53,560 --> 00:34:55,719
Speaker 1: also reminded me of That was the fact that he

704
00:34:55,800 --> 00:34:57,719
Speaker 1: was like, yeah, well let's just let me throw a

735
00:36:28,880 --> 00:36:33,400
Speaker 1: you know, I threw that out there. Anyone, come on,

736
00:36:33,760 --> 00:36:37,080
Speaker 1: it's okay. Uh, Robs, were your thoughts of Hard Knocks

737
00:36:37,120 --> 00:36:39,200
Speaker 1: anything you learn? I didn't see all of it, Okay,

738
00:36:39,280 --> 00:36:42,160
Speaker 1: I kind of I kind of zipped around. And they're

739
00:36:42,200 --> 00:36:45,080
Speaker 1: focusing on long shots to make the team these last

740
00:36:45,080 --> 00:36:52,640
Speaker 1: couple episodes, Isaac Allercon and and um yes, and and

741
00:36:53,880 --> 00:36:56,359
Speaker 1: I gotta brush up a little bit, um and mister

742
00:36:56,480 --> 00:36:59,360
Speaker 1: Hardy too. And I mean, I think there's people that

743
00:36:59,760 --> 00:37:02,239
Speaker 1: want to see maybe more a Jerry, you know, or

744
00:37:02,320 --> 00:37:04,719
Speaker 1: more more of some of the stars. But this is

745
00:37:04,800 --> 00:37:07,480
Speaker 1: this is what they This is Hard Knocks formula man

746
00:37:07,560 --> 00:37:09,440
Speaker 1: that they want to follow some of the long shots,

747
00:37:09,440 --> 00:37:11,360
Speaker 1: and then they'll kind of circle back to a Micah

748
00:37:11,400 --> 00:37:14,480
Speaker 1: Parsons or Jerry Jones and and uh and try to

749
00:37:14,520 --> 00:37:16,359
Speaker 1: give everybody. I mean, I think we're so close to

750
00:37:16,400 --> 00:37:19,000
Speaker 1: it that maybe we don't. I think the average fan

751
00:37:19,080 --> 00:37:21,279
Speaker 1: that doesn't get to see any of this stuff is

752
00:37:21,320 --> 00:37:23,799
Speaker 1: just blown away by any of it. You know, there's

753
00:37:23,800 --> 00:37:27,480
Speaker 1: some good stories out there. I've enjoyed it. Yeah, I

754
00:37:27,480 --> 00:37:29,520
Speaker 1: mean it's been an inside look. It's been something fun

755
00:37:29,520 --> 00:37:31,920
Speaker 1: to look at for the for fans at home. And

756
00:37:31,920 --> 00:37:34,759
Speaker 1: it'sn't like you said something that they don't normally would

757
00:37:34,760 --> 00:37:36,439
Speaker 1: get to see you. It's stuff that we don't even

758
00:37:36,480 --> 00:37:39,160
Speaker 1: normally get to see. We would have no idea that

759

Speaker 1: Joquant Hardy lost the contact when he dropped that football

760
00:37:42,040 --> 00:37:44,120
Speaker 1: on the out route. How many had no idea? And

761
00:37:44,160 --> 00:37:46,080
Speaker 1: he was like I can't see He's like, oh, man,

772
00:38:11,680 --> 00:38:13,560

Speaker 1: haunted houses. That's me too. Yeah, that was kind of

774

846
00:42:12,960 --> 00:42:16,600
Speaker 1: I got a little more bad news. Reports that Rico

847
00:42:16,719 --> 00:42:20,160
Speaker 1: Dawdle is headed to IR second. You're running back from

848
00:42:20,160 --> 00:42:23,920
Speaker 1: what apparently it's a hip injury, and that would mean

849
00:42:24,200 --> 00:42:27,200
Speaker 1: he's done for the season, I believe. Yeah, that really

850
00:42:27,280 --> 00:42:29,399
Speaker 1: is bad. Like him, he was having a good can

851
00:42:29,440 --> 00:42:30,719
Speaker 1: he was having a heck of a Yeah, he was

852
00:42:30,800 --> 00:42:33,680
Speaker 1: running the heck out the ball in preseason. That sucks

853
00:42:33,880 --> 00:42:36,880
Speaker 1: Kyle speechless again second time of the show. Well, because

854
00:42:36,880 --> 00:42:39,279
Speaker 1: I really liked Rico. I think I liked him as

855
00:42:39,280 --> 00:42:42,000
Speaker 1: a special team's potential. I liked him as a third

856
00:42:42,160 --> 00:42:45,520
Speaker 1: running back, running back, a receiver out of the backfield.

857
00:42:45,600 --> 00:42:48,319
Speaker 1: He could have done a lot of different things for that.

858
00:42:48,320 --> 00:42:51,040
Speaker 1: That running back room has been hit. Yeah, both of

859
00:42:51,040 --> 00:42:53,879
Speaker 1: those losses this year, those are those are major. Yeah,

860
00:42:54,160 --> 00:42:56,600
Speaker 1: let's just keep those first two guys healthy for sure

861
00:42:56,600 --> 00:42:59,279
Speaker 1: moving the yard. Yeah, that's a that's a bummer man. Yeah,

862
00:42:59,480 --> 00:43:01,560
Speaker 1: because after that, like you said, it's taking a bit

863
00:43:01,560 --> 00:43:03,880
Speaker 1: of a hit. So there you go, Rico Dowdle expected

864
00:43:03,920 --> 00:43:05,680
Speaker 1: to go to I R and take a little bit

865
00:43:05,719 --> 00:43:12,280
Speaker 1: of time. That's it. That's it for you. Yeah, Okay,

866
00:43:12,360 --> 00:43:15,239
Speaker 1: I'll take us home. So you know what, I'm gonna

867
00:43:15,280 --> 00:43:17,719
Speaker 1: take the second part out of the initial teas that

868
00:43:17,760 --> 00:43:20,080
Speaker 1: I had. We were gonna do winners and Losers of

869
00:43:20,239 --> 00:43:23,040
Speaker 1: training camp. So far, let's just do winners of training camp.

870
00:43:23,040 --> 00:43:26,040
Speaker 1: And I think, oh, I skewed it too much. Yeah,

871
00:43:27,920 --> 00:43:30,520
Speaker 1: we got some, we got some. We got some losers though. Okay,

872
00:43:30,560 --> 00:43:32,640
Speaker 1: that's fine, we can still do it. Just let's take

873
00:43:32,640 --> 00:43:35,200
Speaker 1: it easy on the losers. Okay, Okay, you want to

874
00:43:35,200 --> 00:43:39,280
Speaker 1: go first, sure, fine, Okay, winners and losers of training camp.

875
00:43:39,719 --> 00:43:44,000
Speaker 1: So my winner and loser or my album start with

876
00:43:44,040 --> 00:43:48,239
Speaker 1: my loser of training Camp. I'm gonna put my man

877
00:43:48,360 --> 00:43:52,120
Speaker 1: Jaylen Smith on the losing category of training camp. And

878
00:43:52,239 --> 00:43:55,120
Speaker 1: the reason I say this is because obviously Jalen fighting

879
00:43:55,160 --> 00:43:58,319
Speaker 1: back from drop foot, all of that miraculous has been

880
00:43:58,400 --> 00:44:01,560
Speaker 1: productive except for last year and look, had one hundred

881
00:44:01,560 --> 00:44:04,480
Speaker 1: and fifty tackles, finished top five in the league. However,

882
00:44:04,920 --> 00:44:08,719
Speaker 1: they drafted in Michael Parsons in what I consider to

883
00:44:08,800 --> 00:44:11,239
Speaker 1: be the and you don't have an Apple, so the

884
00:44:11,360 --> 00:44:16,600
Speaker 1: iOS upgrade. Basically, it's like your phone starts doing things

885
00:44:16,600 --> 00:44:19,240
Speaker 1: you never thought it could do. You see Michael Parsons

886
00:44:19,239 --> 00:44:21,480
Speaker 1: out there doing things from a linebacker standpoint that you

887
00:44:21,640 --> 00:44:24,000
Speaker 1: never thought you would see a linebacker do. In the

888
00:44:24,320 --> 00:44:27,160
Speaker 1: multiple ways that they play him. I just believe that

889
00:44:27,560 --> 00:44:31,439
Speaker 1: his speed in all of that for Jalen has got

890
00:44:31,480 --> 00:44:34,600
Speaker 1: to have him taking a little bit of back. Winner

891
00:44:34,880 --> 00:44:37,920
Speaker 1: in training camp has to be my guy. Kennedy, I

892
00:44:38,040 --> 00:44:40,239
Speaker 1: think I think he's come out on time, but I

893
00:44:40,239 --> 00:44:43,000
Speaker 1: think he's shown his worth. And I also think that

894
00:44:43,080 --> 00:44:46,680
Speaker 1: because of his production, it's making the it's making a

895
00:44:46,680 --> 00:44:48,680
Speaker 1: lot of hard decisions for the guys that are trying

896
00:44:48,719 --> 00:44:50,600
Speaker 1: to put this fifty three together. So if I'm gonna

897
00:44:50,640 --> 00:44:53,720
Speaker 1: go winners and losers, Mary's Kennedy and as the winner

898
00:44:53,719 --> 00:44:56,120
Speaker 1: and Jalen Smith as a loser, that's really good. Isaiah.

899
00:44:56,920 --> 00:45:00,719
Speaker 1: On the losing side, I'm going with Jordan Lewis. I'm

900
00:45:00,719 --> 00:45:02,560
Speaker 1: going to Geordan Lewis. I think that we've heard a

901
00:45:02,560 --> 00:45:06,359
Speaker 1: lot about the competition revolving around him, haven't really heard

902
00:45:06,440 --> 00:45:09,280
Speaker 1: his name much at all in regards to making plays,

903
00:45:09,320 --> 00:45:12,000
Speaker 1: having good practices, having an impact, and for the amount

904
00:45:12,000 --> 00:45:13,879
Speaker 1: of money that they're paying him, I think he kind

905
00:45:13,880 --> 00:45:15,640
Speaker 1: of wants to be in some of those conversations. So

906
00:45:15,840 --> 00:45:19,600
Speaker 1: I think he's putting himself in a very very tricky

907
00:45:19,960 --> 00:45:22,600
Speaker 1: situation as he's cut these fifty three man cuts come

908
00:45:22,640 --> 00:45:24,920
Speaker 1: around um, whether it comes in the form of trade

909
00:45:24,960 --> 00:45:28,440
Speaker 1: or cut. I think he's put himself in that conversation. Um,

910
00:45:28,520 --> 00:45:30,120
Speaker 1: so he's the loser. In my eyes. I think the

911
00:45:30,239 --> 00:45:32,799
Speaker 1: winner is Kean O'Neill. I think he came in with

912
00:45:32,960 --> 00:45:37,040
Speaker 1: question marks regarding does he fit right? Obviously he knows

913
00:45:37,040 --> 00:45:39,400
Speaker 1: the system, but does he fit in this in this defense?

914
00:45:39,680 --> 00:45:41,319
Speaker 1: Is he gonna be safety? Is he gonna be lining back?

915
00:45:41,400 --> 00:45:43,440
Speaker 1: Or is he healthy? Can he play right? Can he

916
00:45:43,520 --> 00:45:45,600
Speaker 1: be productive? Is he going to be the leader that

917
00:45:45,600 --> 00:45:47,120
Speaker 1: we expect him to be? And I think he's checked

918
00:45:47,120 --> 00:45:50,879
Speaker 1: all those boxes, starting with the losing side, not calling

919
00:45:50,920 --> 00:45:53,880
Speaker 1: anybody a loser, just saying that it's not going in there,

920
00:45:54,239 --> 00:46:00,440
Speaker 1: Rob offices upstairs. There you go, quarter office. This got

921
00:46:00,480 --> 00:46:04,120
Speaker 1: my name on it. Chauncey Golston and Josh Ball two

922
00:46:04,200 --> 00:46:07,160
Speaker 1: draft picks who have really not been able to practice

923
00:46:07,160 --> 00:46:09,680
Speaker 1: at all. I mean, Gholston gets hurt in the conditioning

924
00:46:09,800 --> 00:46:13,440
Speaker 1: run before camp starts, and I think he's getting closer,

925
00:46:13,840 --> 00:46:16,920
Speaker 1: but it's tough because he's trying to earn playing time

926
00:46:17,760 --> 00:46:20,120
Speaker 1: in that defensive line rotation. Josh Ball was supposed to

927
00:46:20,160 --> 00:46:23,120
Speaker 1: compete for the swing tackle job. That's just not realistic

928
00:46:23,160 --> 00:46:25,960
Speaker 1: at this point. So that's that's tough when you're a

929
00:46:26,040 --> 00:46:28,600
Speaker 1: rookie coming in. I think they're both gonna make the team,

930
00:46:28,800 --> 00:46:31,360
Speaker 1: but to play and be impactful your rookie year, I

931
00:46:31,400 --> 00:46:34,680
Speaker 1: think that's gonna be tough winner. And I'll go with

932
00:46:34,719 --> 00:46:39,120
Speaker 1: the rookies again. Osa Dicky Zua to me has been really,

933
00:46:39,160 --> 00:46:43,760
Speaker 1: really good, and he just seems to get more active

934
00:46:43,880 --> 00:46:47,320
Speaker 1: upfront with that inside rush and it makes me feel

935
00:46:47,360 --> 00:46:51,320
Speaker 1: better about the defensive tackle depth without Neville gotmore for

936
00:46:51,400 --> 00:46:53,839
Speaker 1: a few weeks. I mean, I know they're they're inexperience

937
00:46:53,880 --> 00:46:56,040
Speaker 1: there to a large degree, but if he can keep

938
00:46:56,040 --> 00:46:58,520
Speaker 1: this up, he's got a chance to be, you know,

939
00:46:58,680 --> 00:47:02,920
Speaker 1: part of this rotation. Maybe start, if not start, you know,

940
00:47:03,000 --> 00:47:04,239
Speaker 1: be a guy who plays a lot of snaps and

941
00:47:04,280 --> 00:47:07,200
Speaker 1: maybe can be productive for him while year long. I

942
00:47:07,320 --> 00:47:10,560
Speaker 1: like all of the three or I guess each of

943
00:47:10,560 --> 00:47:12,640
Speaker 1: the guys that you guys gave so, I mean Rob

944
00:47:12,680 --> 00:47:15,080
Speaker 1: gave a couple there, but ultimately six to eight guys

945
00:47:15,080 --> 00:47:16,799
Speaker 1: that you just named, I would put all of those

946
00:47:16,800 --> 00:47:19,080
Speaker 1: in the exact categories that you had. A man, I

947
00:47:19,120 --> 00:47:21,279
Speaker 1: would say, and this is kind of a stretch, but

948
00:47:21,320 --> 00:47:23,400
Speaker 1: I'm trying to keep it, keep it different. But Treyvon

949
00:47:23,480 --> 00:47:25,359
Speaker 1: Diggs I think is a winner to me from what

950
00:47:25,400 --> 00:47:28,640
Speaker 1: he's done throughout camp, because last year there were still

951
00:47:28,719 --> 00:47:31,239
Speaker 1: questions around what Treyvon Diggs could do. We've talked about

952
00:47:31,280 --> 00:47:33,600
Speaker 1: it on this show, specifically Isaiah and whether or not

953
00:47:33,960 --> 00:47:37,000
Speaker 1: he can be your top corner. And I think the

954
00:47:37,080 --> 00:47:40,799
Speaker 1: latter part of last year into the offseason, the expectations where, hey,

955
00:47:40,840 --> 00:47:42,960
Speaker 1: can he look like your top corner? Well, guess what.

956
00:47:43,239 --> 00:47:46,600
Speaker 1: We're through the preseason and he is undoubtedly the top

957
00:47:46,640 --> 00:47:48,680
Speaker 1: corner on the roster and he's going to be that

958
00:47:48,880 --> 00:47:51,560
Speaker 1: going into the year. Of course, he's not practicing today

959
00:47:51,560 --> 00:47:53,719
Speaker 1: because of the non COVID illness, and he added a

960
00:47:53,760 --> 00:47:55,480
Speaker 1: little banged up ankle at the end of the game

961
00:47:55,600 --> 00:47:58,799
Speaker 1: or into practice yesterday. But I still think he is

962
00:47:58,800 --> 00:48:02,160
Speaker 1: a winner throughout camp. The loser staying on the defensive

963
00:48:02,160 --> 00:48:04,120
Speaker 1: side of things is Terrell Basham, and it's along the

964
00:48:04,120 --> 00:48:07,240
Speaker 1: same lines of what Rob said about the two rookies

965
00:48:07,320 --> 00:48:09,600
Speaker 1: is he comes in as a guy that's in a

966
00:48:09,600 --> 00:48:13,880
Speaker 1: crowded edge rusher room with guys like of course Randy

967
00:48:13,880 --> 00:48:17,719
Speaker 1: Gregory to Marcus Lawrence. But now Dorrence Armstrong's playing well.

968
00:48:17,840 --> 00:48:20,680
Speaker 1: Bradley and I is making a case for himself. Even

969
00:48:20,800 --> 00:48:23,600
Speaker 1: Chauncey Golston, who is still a rookie at least at

970
00:48:23,600 --> 00:48:26,280
Speaker 1: the moment, has a spot on this roster. Terrell Basham

971
00:48:26,400 --> 00:48:28,359
Speaker 1: was brought in on a two year deal to say hey,

972
00:48:28,440 --> 00:48:30,879
Speaker 1: you you are the edge rusher depth and he hasn't

973
00:48:30,920 --> 00:48:33,120
Speaker 1: been able to work his way back onto the field

974
00:48:33,120 --> 00:48:35,919
Speaker 1: ever since suffering the ankle injury. So I think he's

975
00:48:36,000 --> 00:48:38,640
Speaker 1: kind of a loser in terms of training camp. Like

976
00:48:38,680 --> 00:48:40,680
Speaker 1: I said, not calling in, or like Rob said, no,

977
00:48:40,760 --> 00:48:46,359
Speaker 1: your cube's upstairs. Well Rob moved, he moved away from me.

978
00:48:46,400 --> 00:48:49,960
Speaker 1: Oh you got a bigger one, Yeah he did. It's bigger.

979
00:48:50,000 --> 00:48:53,239
Speaker 1: You got a office? I do not have you get

980
00:48:53,440 --> 00:48:56,359
Speaker 1: You got the corner office up We've been a party

981
00:48:56,400 --> 00:49:01,919
Speaker 1: of p office. Let's go. Do you guys have cubes? Yeah?

982
00:49:02,480 --> 00:49:04,160
Speaker 1: I don't. I mean you don't have a cube? Bye

983
00:49:04,280 --> 00:49:09,320
Speaker 1: by association. So just you guys, have you have a

984
00:49:09,400 --> 00:49:11,759
Speaker 1: cube to go sit down in? Wow? Right, it has

985
00:49:11,800 --> 00:49:22,080
Speaker 1: your name on it? I wait three time? Speechiless isn't

986
00:49:22,080 --> 00:49:24,759
Speaker 1: that what? What what mind is? Yours? Yours is mind?

987
00:49:25,160 --> 00:49:27,719
Speaker 1: Is that how it goes when you're married? This is yeah,

988
00:49:28,560 --> 00:49:30,760
Speaker 1: it says Harrison on the side, doesn't it. That's crazy.

989
00:49:31,719 --> 00:49:33,120
Speaker 1: Let me ask you this question. If you went and

990
00:49:33,160 --> 00:49:35,439
Speaker 1: set in that cube, would anybody kick you out? Yes,

991
00:49:36,160 --> 00:49:40,720
Speaker 1: yes they would, Yes, they would absolutely. Oh goodness, I'm sorry.

992
00:49:42,360 --> 00:49:45,080
Speaker 1: I can't believe you, guys. Shot. I didn't say it

993
00:49:45,360 --> 00:49:54,279
Speaker 1: that shot. You're thinking. Unbelievable, unbelievable. All right, we've got

994
00:49:54,360 --> 00:49:57,000
Speaker 1: to find cubes for Sanquin. Now, I guess thank this

995
00:49:57,200 --> 00:49:59,600
Speaker 1: is my cube. Okay, yeah, man, this is my cube.

996
00:50:00,160 --> 00:50:02,600
Speaker 1: There's one member of this crew who has an office

997
00:50:02,640 --> 00:50:05,799
Speaker 1: of sorts, and he's he's the next door, right, Yeah,

998
00:50:06,560 --> 00:50:08,560
Speaker 1: so that's what y'all need to be Jones and all not.

999
00:50:09,239 --> 00:50:11,160
Speaker 1: He's the memoi though he's the man. He's not even

1000
00:50:11,880 --> 00:50:14,319
Speaker 1: conversation as he's always had an office. He needs one

1001
00:50:14,440 --> 00:50:18,399
Speaker 1: talk about modifying the door. Oh goodness, what have we seen?

1002
00:50:18,680 --> 00:50:20,160
Speaker 1: We didn't get to talk about it on Monday a

1003
00:50:20,200 --> 00:50:22,680
Speaker 1: little bit, but kind of going along the same lines

1004
00:50:22,719 --> 00:50:25,439
Speaker 1: as winners of training camp and he needed a really

1005
00:50:25,480 --> 00:50:33,520
Speaker 1: good preseason. But Jabrill Cox, Jabrill Cox, met I'm trying

1006
00:50:33,520 --> 00:50:35,680
Speaker 1: to I'm trying to push this thing around. No, no, no,

1007
00:50:36,040 --> 00:50:39,560
Speaker 1: it's okay. I wasn't even trying to be funny. I'll

1008
00:50:39,920 --> 00:50:42,919
Speaker 1: this series. I think that's that's what made it worse.

1009
00:50:44,080 --> 00:50:46,799
Speaker 1: It's true, that's what made it worse. But to your point,

1010
00:50:47,080 --> 00:50:50,680
Speaker 1: Jabrill Cox, Jabrill Cox, last week he showed up. Now,

1011
00:50:50,760 --> 00:50:52,640
Speaker 1: last two weeks he showed up. I think last week

1012
00:50:52,680 --> 00:50:54,400
Speaker 1: he really showed up. I think they obviously had the

1013
00:50:54,480 --> 00:50:58,279
Speaker 1: defense bought out, and he showed his range. And I

1014
00:50:58,320 --> 00:50:59,800
Speaker 1: think that's what everybody wanted to see. They want to

1015
00:50:59,800 --> 00:51:02,200
Speaker 1: see can he cover? Obviously, they know he could run around,

1016
00:51:02,200 --> 00:51:03,600
Speaker 1: he could hit. They want to see it can he

1017
00:51:03,719 --> 00:51:05,759
Speaker 1: cover somebody? And I think he was running around and

1018
00:51:05,880 --> 00:51:08,879
Speaker 1: hitting people with reckless abandonment, and that's what you want

1019
00:51:08,920 --> 00:51:11,720
Speaker 1: to see as we talk about culture in character this defense,

1020
00:51:12,000 --> 00:51:16,360
Speaker 1: I think he was a great reflection of that linebacker

1021
00:51:16,440 --> 00:51:22,040
Speaker 1: snaps Week one through weeks seventeen gonna be very very interesting,

1022
00:51:22,640 --> 00:51:25,759
Speaker 1: very interested to see how those rotations got a roll, right, Yeah,

1023
00:51:25,800 --> 00:51:27,960
Speaker 1: how their snaps are gonna be dispersed. I think there's

1024
00:51:27,960 --> 00:51:29,719
Speaker 1: gonna be some very frustrated guys on that side of

1025
00:51:29,760 --> 00:51:31,560
Speaker 1: the ball, at that second level. I think, you know,

1026
00:51:31,600 --> 00:51:33,759
Speaker 1: I mean, heck, I'm obviously as a defensive player, you

1027
00:51:33,800 --> 00:51:35,400
Speaker 1: want to get in there and you want to you

1028
00:51:35,440 --> 00:51:37,080
Speaker 1: want to be in the game. You don't want to

1029
00:51:37,080 --> 00:51:38,920
Speaker 1: come out. And defensive lineman, they know, they cycle in

1030
00:51:39,000 --> 00:51:41,719
Speaker 1: and out. Corner, you know, a nickel defense, a back,

1031
00:51:41,760 --> 00:51:44,359
Speaker 1: they cycle in and out. Everybody else. You're you're you're

1032
00:51:44,400 --> 00:51:46,160
Speaker 1: in the game, right, You're in the game. And as

1033
00:51:46,200 --> 00:51:48,080
Speaker 1: a linebacker, you don't want to come out that rotation.

1034
00:51:48,160 --> 00:51:49,400
Speaker 1: You don't want to come out of the game at all.

1035
00:51:49,600 --> 00:51:51,239
Speaker 1: So the guys are gonna be in for a snap

1036
00:51:51,360 --> 00:51:53,359
Speaker 1: or two and then they're gonna roll those guys about

1037
00:51:53,360 --> 00:51:54,600
Speaker 1: it there and some other guys are gonna come in

1038
00:51:54,640 --> 00:51:56,399
Speaker 1: and it's gonna be very hard. They're gonna they're gonna

1039
00:51:56,400 --> 00:51:57,840
Speaker 1: you're gonna hear them say it was hard for me

1040
00:51:57,920 --> 00:51:59,640
Speaker 1: to catch my flow. It was hard for me to

1041
00:51:59,719 --> 00:52:01,480
Speaker 1: to to get the pace of the game. And it

1042
00:52:01,560 --> 00:52:03,279
Speaker 1: really gets settled in. I think we're gonna hear that.

1043
00:52:03,840 --> 00:52:06,719
Speaker 1: I'm gonna project you. You're gonna build those excuses in.

1044
00:52:06,840 --> 00:52:09,600
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm throwing him in. Now, you're gonna hear it.

1045
00:52:09,719 --> 00:52:11,239
Speaker 1: I tell you what I don't want to see come out,

1046
00:52:11,239 --> 00:52:13,680
Speaker 1: and that's number eleven. And if you if he's coming out,

1047
00:52:14,480 --> 00:52:16,239
Speaker 1: you're just giving him a blow to go back in.

1048
00:52:16,560 --> 00:52:21,400
Speaker 1: You know, called time out to get it's just not

1049
00:52:21,640 --> 00:52:25,160
Speaker 1: I mean, but going back to Jabril Cox, um just

1050
00:52:25,320 --> 00:52:26,839
Speaker 1: one of those names that a lot of people were

1051
00:52:26,920 --> 00:52:29,080
Speaker 1: high up on, I think getting started in the league.

1052
00:52:29,280 --> 00:52:32,600
Speaker 1: Coming into OTAs Uh, people didn't think that they saw

1053
00:52:32,680 --> 00:52:35,279
Speaker 1: the spark there from number forty eight. But as training

1054
00:52:35,400 --> 00:52:38,120
Speaker 1: camp progresses, he's had some preseason games under this belt.

1055
00:52:38,120 --> 00:52:40,800
Speaker 1: You're seeing him do great things and special teams and

1056
00:52:40,960 --> 00:52:44,000
Speaker 1: you always talk about this, a guy's path to getting

1057
00:52:44,040 --> 00:52:47,520
Speaker 1: playing time is getting those special teams reps. He's done

1058
00:52:47,560 --> 00:52:50,400
Speaker 1: really good things with that. But when you look at

1059
00:52:50,440 --> 00:52:52,400
Speaker 1: this season, preseason, all the way through, all of these

1060
00:52:52,440 --> 00:52:55,120
Speaker 1: guys are gonna play. Every last one of these guys

1061
00:52:55,160 --> 00:52:59,440
Speaker 1: are gonna play because involved but the length of the

1062
00:52:59,520 --> 00:53:03,800
Speaker 1: season and just the way I mean, Jesse Holley's favorite

1063
00:53:03,840 --> 00:53:06,239
Speaker 1: word is football is fluid, you know, so things are

1064
00:53:06,239 --> 00:53:08,440
Speaker 1: always gonna happen, and these guys are gonna get an

1065
00:53:08,480 --> 00:53:11,680
Speaker 1: opportunity to shine. And for Jabril Cox, it's like, if

1066
00:53:11,800 --> 00:53:15,040
Speaker 1: he can just kind of settle into a role defensively,

1067
00:53:15,280 --> 00:53:18,640
Speaker 1: I think that may just building that competition and culture

1068
00:53:18,640 --> 00:53:20,480
Speaker 1: that we're talking about. It may spell the end for

1069
00:53:20,560 --> 00:53:23,360
Speaker 1: the wolf Hunter. I don't know. I'm just basically throwing

1070
00:53:23,440 --> 00:53:26,000
Speaker 1: that out there that he's kind of in a very

1071
00:53:26,080 --> 00:53:28,879
Speaker 1: peculiar situation right now. I just just picture this. It's

1072
00:53:28,960 --> 00:53:31,839
Speaker 1: third and eleven, right, third and eleven. You take vander

1073
00:53:31,960 --> 00:53:34,280
Speaker 1: esh off the field, you take Jalen Smith off the field,

1074
00:53:34,320 --> 00:53:37,040
Speaker 1: you put in Keian O'Neil, You put in Michael Parsons,

1075
00:53:37,080 --> 00:53:39,520
Speaker 1: and you put in Dog and Jabril Cox, and you

1076
00:53:39,600 --> 00:53:40,920
Speaker 1: got you got these guys to be able to cover

1077
00:53:41,040 --> 00:53:43,840
Speaker 1: that cover the underneath. These guys are gonna be roaming

1078
00:53:43,880 --> 00:53:46,719
Speaker 1: and running around like Madman is. That is going to

1079
00:53:46,800 --> 00:53:50,160
Speaker 1: be crazy. But that's the NFL. I mean, everybody's playing

1080
00:53:50,200 --> 00:53:52,520
Speaker 1: that nickel true goodness. I mean, but they're not They're

1081
00:53:52,520 --> 00:53:55,000
Speaker 1: not small, you know. That's what I'm saying. Like it's

1082
00:53:55,000 --> 00:53:56,759
Speaker 1: one thing if you're swapping them out like for for

1083
00:53:56,840 --> 00:53:59,080
Speaker 1: small guys. These guys are not small. That's the thing

1084
00:53:59,080 --> 00:54:01,719
Speaker 1: about Kano Neil. He looks like a linebacker. Yeah he's

1085
00:54:01,760 --> 00:54:03,800
Speaker 1: a lineback. I know he's been a safety, but he

1086
00:54:04,080 --> 00:54:06,480
Speaker 1: looks like that boy's a lineback. Ways, I don't know

1087
00:54:06,520 --> 00:54:09,239
Speaker 1: what he's two twenty five. He's a lightist, right, two

1088
00:54:09,280 --> 00:54:11,279
Speaker 1: twenty five, And you've got your Bill Cox two thirty

1089
00:54:11,280 --> 00:54:15,200
Speaker 1: three and you got Michael Parsons. I mean Layton Vanderesh

1090
00:54:15,360 --> 00:54:19,040
Speaker 1: is like, what, yeah, two fifty I mean he's a

1091
00:54:19,040 --> 00:54:21,960
Speaker 1: big guy. Vanderesh and Smith are both top heavy. Sure this,

1092
00:54:22,080 --> 00:54:23,680
Speaker 1: I mean that's what they are. They're top heavy. They're

1093
00:54:23,719 --> 00:54:25,839
Speaker 1: downhill guys. That's what they are. They might not want

1094
00:54:25,840 --> 00:54:28,560
Speaker 1: to hear that, but they are. Feel the gaps, come forward,

1095
00:54:28,640 --> 00:54:31,279
Speaker 1: sitting in the box, go sideways five yards, and that's

1096
00:54:31,320 --> 00:54:33,319
Speaker 1: what we do. And these other guys they have range.

1097
00:54:33,880 --> 00:54:36,080
Speaker 1: Kind of an addition to your point of the third

1098
00:54:36,160 --> 00:54:38,879
Speaker 1: and eleven hypothetical, I mean, we threw out the hypothetical

1099
00:54:39,520 --> 00:54:43,200
Speaker 1: Monday with the quarterbacks of if there's no Dak Prescott

1100
00:54:43,239 --> 00:54:45,120
Speaker 1: and these three year in the game, do you feel comfortable?

1101
00:54:45,160 --> 00:54:49,680
Speaker 1: The resounding answer was no. If if Layton Vanderesh and

1102
00:54:50,480 --> 00:54:52,800
Speaker 1: Jalen Smith are not in the game and any of

1103
00:54:52,840 --> 00:54:54,960
Speaker 1: those three guys are in the game instead, do you

1104
00:54:55,040 --> 00:54:58,480
Speaker 1: feel comfortable? Yes, I mean I feel better, yes, especially

1105
00:54:58,560 --> 00:55:00,719
Speaker 1: based off of what they've done last in the past

1106
00:55:00,800 --> 00:55:03,600
Speaker 1: couple of years in terms of linebacker depth, I feel

1107
00:55:03,680 --> 00:55:06,240
Speaker 1: much much better. There's there's only a handful of positions

1108
00:55:06,440 --> 00:55:08,680
Speaker 1: on this team right now that I don't feel comfortable

1109
00:55:08,719 --> 00:55:11,080
Speaker 1: with the number two guy or the number two rotation

1110
00:55:11,400 --> 00:55:16,919
Speaker 1: tackle that yeah, just just oh yeah, center, especially top yeah, center,

1111
00:55:17,080 --> 00:55:21,680
Speaker 1: especially um quarterback, quarterback um and then um, what was

1112
00:55:21,719 --> 00:55:24,880
Speaker 1: another one I had? I don't think that's it about safety?

1113
00:55:25,040 --> 00:55:30,520
Speaker 1: Feel better, feel better about safety, safety, corner, defensive line,

1114
00:55:31,440 --> 00:55:34,960
Speaker 1: tight end, tackle, Maybe I feel okay with that right

1115
00:55:35,000 --> 00:55:38,200
Speaker 1: now too. I'm okay especially things just I think it's

1116
00:55:38,320 --> 00:55:42,080
Speaker 1: a thing is specifically at the offensive tackle, center, and quarterback.

1117
00:55:42,680 --> 00:55:45,040
Speaker 1: That's it. Everywhere else I'm okay with our number two.

1118
00:55:45,400 --> 00:55:48,359
Speaker 1: We talk about those three positions so much. Yeah, yeah,

1119
00:55:48,960 --> 00:55:51,880
Speaker 1: defensively and I just feel like defensive line. I like

1120
00:55:52,000 --> 00:55:55,560
Speaker 1: how Michaelcarthy said this is he's never seen a flip

1121
00:55:55,719 --> 00:55:57,920
Speaker 1: like this with from one group to another. How the

1122
00:55:58,000 --> 00:56:00,880
Speaker 1: defense has it's much more or improve And I think

1123
00:56:00,920 --> 00:56:03,759
Speaker 1: it's because of the play of the defensive line. You

1124
00:56:03,840 --> 00:56:06,520
Speaker 1: got to feel better about these guys in preseason getting

1125
00:56:06,560 --> 00:56:09,480
Speaker 1: more pressure on the quarterback and stunting that they're doing

1126
00:56:09,520 --> 00:56:11,719
Speaker 1: in all of that is a boy product of Dan

1127
00:56:11,840 --> 00:56:14,399
Speaker 1: Quinn's influence. And you know, we go back to last

1128
00:56:14,480 --> 00:56:17,080
Speaker 1: year and Mike Nolan and bless his heart, man, because

1129
00:56:17,120 --> 00:56:19,560
Speaker 1: he didn't have preseason, he didn't have a way to

1130
00:56:19,680 --> 00:56:22,640
Speaker 1: implement and just guys just look like hot garbage. But

1131
00:56:23,080 --> 00:56:26,279
Speaker 1: I mean if you had Michael Parsons behind dune Terry Poe,

1132
00:56:26,360 --> 00:56:29,000
Speaker 1: I don't think he would be Why did you just

1133
00:56:29,200 --> 00:56:33,319
Speaker 1: do that? I gave you a bad visual, but maybe

1134
00:56:33,360 --> 00:56:37,040
Speaker 1: you would be talking about Parson's that way because of

1135
00:56:37,640 --> 00:56:39,359
Speaker 1: because of it. I just think that the d line

1136
00:56:39,480 --> 00:56:41,520
Speaker 1: is doing so much better of a job of keeping

1137
00:56:41,560 --> 00:56:45,120
Speaker 1: these keeping these these guys lanes open to shooting mic tackle,

1138
00:56:45,280 --> 00:56:47,800
Speaker 1: So the defense is working efficiently. But Rob, what's the

1139
00:56:47,840 --> 00:56:50,719
Speaker 1: outlook on Tristan Hill right now? Well, I mean to

1140
00:56:50,840 --> 00:56:54,399
Speaker 1: this point, he doesn't sound like it's imminent that he's

1141
00:56:54,400 --> 00:56:57,320
Speaker 1: coming off pop so very well could be he's starting

1142
00:56:57,360 --> 00:56:59,360
Speaker 1: the year there, which would mean I think a minimum

1143
00:56:59,360 --> 00:57:02,080
Speaker 1: of six weeks six weeks ago, so he's making progress

1144
00:57:02,120 --> 00:57:04,640
Speaker 1: and there's still time. But you know, unless we hear

1145
00:57:04,719 --> 00:57:06,840
Speaker 1: something differently that that looks like that could happen. So

1146
00:57:07,480 --> 00:57:09,640
Speaker 1: and you know, and and Gholston, we'll see if he's

1147
00:57:09,680 --> 00:57:11,359
Speaker 1: in that group too, or if you can get back

1148
00:57:11,400 --> 00:57:15,480
Speaker 1: before then lots of guys trying to come back. Let's

1149
00:57:15,520 --> 00:57:17,760
Speaker 1: in the show. On a good note, guy, there was

1150
00:57:17,800 --> 00:57:20,120
Speaker 1: a guy who passed his physical today and has been

1151
00:57:20,280 --> 00:57:23,360
Speaker 1: activated off of the publist. And he's the kicker, Greg

1152
00:57:23,480 --> 00:57:28,480
Speaker 1: sir line, what he wouldn't win? Like, he's actually like

1153
00:57:28,800 --> 00:57:32,240
Speaker 1: doing paper the paper football. Yeah, like paper football. There

1154
00:57:32,280 --> 00:57:34,480
Speaker 1: we go. But yeah, Greg sir line is gonna be

1155
00:57:34,480 --> 00:57:38,080
Speaker 1: activated off a puplist And McCarthy said he will be kicking, yes,

1156
00:57:38,280 --> 00:57:42,360
Speaker 1: so oh he he needs to Sunday they don't have

1157
00:57:42,440 --> 00:57:52,680
Speaker 1: another kicker, so I guess somebody yesterday he's gonna kick. Wow,

1158
00:57:52,840 --> 00:57:55,720
Speaker 1: thanks coach. I don't think Mike's in the best mood

1159
00:57:55,840 --> 00:57:58,080
Speaker 1: right now. He's dealing with a lot of crap. I

1160
00:57:58,120 --> 00:58:00,800
Speaker 1: don't blame him. I don't blame him. Well, fully, everybody

1161
00:58:00,920 --> 00:58:02,680
