Injury updates all positive as far 0:04:32.400 --> 0:04:34.600 as returning to practice this week. The moon Clark dealt 0:04:34.640 --> 0:04:37.320 with a knee injury, obviously on the back training camp. 0:04:37.360 --> 0:04:39.960 He was back at practice on Monday, as was one 0:04:40.000 --> 0:04:42.680 year Thomas with what was described initially as a minor 0:04:42.760 --> 0:04:45.760 growing issue turned out to be exactly that. Israel Mkwamou 0:04:46.480 --> 0:04:48.840 was absent last week in practice after having returned for 0:04:48.920 --> 0:04:51.560 the preseason finale, but he was back in practice on 0:04:51.680 --> 0:04:54.599 yesterday as the Cowboys get ramped up for week one 0:04:54.680 --> 0:04:58.680 baby against these Cleveland Browns. Mike McCarthy gave two updates. 0:04:58.960 --> 0:05:01.280 No injury news on CD LAMB, which is positive, but 0:05:01.320 --> 0:05:04.080 as far as ramping Cede Lamb up, Mike McCarthy says, 0:05:04.120 --> 0:05:06.640 the Cowboys expect they'll quote unquote be where they need 0:05:06.680 --> 0:05:08.000 to be by the end of this week. 0:05:08.080 --> 0:05:09.160 He continues to look good. 0:05:09.440 --> 0:05:11.200 They have him on a pitch counting practice and they're 0:05:11.240 --> 0:05:14.280 ramping him up with every single practice. So he practiced 0:05:14.320 --> 0:05:17.159 a bit on Monday, We'll practice more on Wednesday, more 0:05:17.279 --> 0:05:19.800 on Thursday, and then that much more so at the 0:05:19.880 --> 0:05:23.080 end of the week. No concerns on Brandon Cook's. 0:05:22.760 --> 0:05:25.440 Real quick before we move to Brandon based off of 0:05:25.480 --> 0:05:28.120 what you've seen so far out of CD LAMB, the first. 0:05:27.839 --> 0:05:30.080 Couple practices where it was completely open. 0:05:29.920 --> 0:05:32.440 But there weren't any pads, and then now the media 0:05:32.480 --> 0:05:34.400 portions of practice where you really don't get to see 0:05:34.400 --> 0:05:37.200 a whole lot. Have you seen anything from CD to 0:05:37.279 --> 0:05:38.800 this point or is it kind. 0:05:38.680 --> 0:05:40.440 Of an unknown to the media. 0:05:40.480 --> 0:05:44.680 What I have seen has given me comfort because not 0:05:44.720 --> 0:05:47.160 only does he look great as we've seen and he's 0:05:47.200 --> 0:05:50.800 added some lean muscle, but he's moving extremely well. He's 0:05:50.839 --> 0:05:53.120 moving with quickness. He's moving with speed. They've had to 0:05:53.120 --> 0:05:56.320 turn him down a couple times in practices because he 0:05:56.360 --> 0:05:59.080 wanted to go full of speed and they're like, whoa there, youngster, 0:05:59.320 --> 0:06:01.080 we got to make sure that you're wrapped up the 0:06:01.120 --> 0:06:03.320 right way so that you don't know, suffer a soft 0:06:03.360 --> 0:06:06.599 tissue issue going into Cleveland. So he's moving, you know, 0:06:06.640 --> 0:06:09.440 at a fantastic click. He looks like the best version 0:06:09.520 --> 0:06:12.480 of Ceedee Lamb. So just need that to continue. Keeping 0:06:12.560 --> 0:06:16.000 with the Cowboys wide receivers Wide receivers, Mike McCarthy said, 0:06:16.000 --> 0:06:18.359 there are a quote unquote no concerns on Brandon Cooks. 0:06:18.480 --> 0:06:20.479 We know Brandon Cooks that with some nie soreness on 0:06:20.520 --> 0:06:22.920 the back end of training camp, missed some practices due 0:06:22.920 --> 0:06:25.599 to that, another couple of practices due to personal issues 0:06:25.600 --> 0:06:28.480 that were not related. But he was back in full 0:06:28.560 --> 0:06:31.080 pads last week as a matter of fact for Cowboys 0:06:31.240 --> 0:06:33.560 Night and he is definitely a full go as we 0:06:33.600 --> 0:06:37.359 have this conversation. So great news there. As far as 0:06:37.720 --> 0:06:42.040 depth chart news, Kayln Carson requested to change his number 0:06:42.040 --> 0:06:44.560 to twenty one. That broke the internet. We spoke to 0:06:44.560 --> 0:06:49.440 the rookie about that yesterday, but Mike McCarthy also wildly 0:06:49.560 --> 0:06:51.279 unexpected news coming. 0:06:51.320 --> 0:06:57.040 You're ready, You're ready, You're ready. What is it? Cooper 0:06:57.120 --> 0:06:59.679 Rush's quarterback? Too? Oh breaking? 0:07:00.360 --> 0:07:02.360 I thought you were about to say, like Dak requested 0:07:02.400 --> 0:07:04.720 to change his number, and then Zeke went back to 0:07:04.800 --> 0:07:06.680 twenty one, and then Kayln Carson and him. 0:07:06.800 --> 0:07:07.159 I don't know. 0:07:07.400 --> 0:07:10.120 There were a lot of Cowboys fans that were wondering 0:07:11.120 --> 0:07:13.240 if Trey Lance had done enough, even with the five 0:07:13.280 --> 0:07:15.640 interception game that we talked about, if he had done enough, 0:07:15.720 --> 0:07:18.280 shown enough to be a QB two for the Cowboys, 0:07:18.280 --> 0:07:20.520 and Mike McCarthy put that to bed. He did praise 0:07:20.920 --> 0:07:23.960 Trey Lance for the progression that he made over his 0:07:24.000 --> 0:07:28.400 three preseason games, but McCarthy made it unequivocal that Cooper 0:07:28.440 --> 0:07:30.840 Rush is definitely QB two for twenty twenty four. 0:07:30.880 --> 0:07:33.000 Thank goodness, we got that settled, got that out of 0:07:33.000 --> 0:07:36.280 the way. Why do you hate the number change thing. 0:07:36.760 --> 0:07:37.800 For the audio listeners? 0:07:38.080 --> 0:07:41.920 Yeah face? Why did it bother you so?

He said, 0:10:26.880 --> 0:10:28.240 I don't want to get into all of that. That's 0:10:28.280 --> 0:10:29.000 that's not the reason. 0:10:29.040 --> 0:10:29.400 He said. 0:10:29.480 --> 0:10:32.600 It's because the forty one felt heavy on him and 0:10:32.640 --> 0:10:38.959 the twenty one feels lighter. So good, interesting, feel good. 0:10:39.160 --> 0:10:42.160 More pressure is lighter on this young man. You know, 0:10:42.240 --> 0:10:46.280 I like, I like this dude. This dude is a dog. 0:10:46.760 --> 0:10:53.360 Sell Carson, Baby. 0:10:50.559 --> 0:10:52.079 I don't know if I can do the Georgia thing. 0:10:52.880 --> 0:10:55.040 They look good by the way week one, they look good. 0:10:55.160 --> 0:10:59.000 Draft first, he listen, it was against the top twenty 0:10:59.040 --> 0:11:00.000 team and they beat him. 0:11:00.080 --> 0:11:02.400 Third. The standard is the standard. Kyle. 0:11:02.640 --> 0:11:06.040 I'm just saying, all right, real quickly before we get 0:11:06.040 --> 0:11:12.000 into some predictions here, yeah, seventy. Before we get into 0:11:12.080 --> 0:11:14.360 some predictions, I want to give you guys an opportunity 0:11:14.480 --> 0:11:16.440 get your calls ready. We are going to talk to 0:11:16.480 --> 0:11:20.520 Cowboys Nation today eight eight, eight five five two two 0:11:20.679 --> 0:11:23.120 nine seven eight eight eight eight five five two two 0:11:23.200 --> 0:11:23.720 nine seven. 0:11:23.760 --> 0:11:26.160 We'll take your call starting in the second segment. 0:11:26.200 --> 0:11:29.760 But it is the final show before the ramp into 0:11:29.840 --> 0:11:33.520 the week, right because Wednesday we're gonna preview Cowboys offense. 0:11:33.600 --> 0:11:37.040 Then we're gonna preview Cowboys defense on Thursday, and then Friday, 0:11:37.080 --> 0:11:38.960 it's to say with Chest Friday, and we'll have some 0:11:39.000 --> 0:11:40.559 extra predictions in terms. 0:11:40.280 --> 0:11:43.760 Of the game going into it. But since it's the final. 0:11:44.080 --> 0:11:47.720 Real push into week one, let's give some predictions on 0:11:47.760 --> 0:11:50.840 how the season is gonna get it started. The question today, 0:11:50.840 --> 0:11:52.319 by the way, for those that are calling in, is 0:11:52.320 --> 0:11:54.400 going to be how many games will the Cowboys win 0:11:54.480 --> 0:11:56.800 this season? This panel will give their answer in the 0:11:56.800 --> 0:11:59.760 third segment. But let's start with some individuals. I've got 0:11:59.800 --> 0:12:01.800 some over unders for you, and this is the the 0:12:01.920 --> 0:12:03.280 Kyle Yeomans Scorebook. 0:12:03.960 --> 0:12:06.160 Over under. This is not from Vegas. This is not 0:12:06.200 --> 0:12:06.680 from anything. 0:12:06.800 --> 0:12:07.920 Definitely not from Vegas. 0:12:07.960 --> 0:12:10.240 Definitely not from Vegas. Have you looked at it compared 0:12:10.320 --> 0:12:11.800 to it yet? No? I haven't either. 0:12:12.679 --> 0:12:15.640 I'm in touch anything Vegans. You know what I'm saying. 0:12:15.679 --> 0:12:18.280 No, this is from the Kyle Yeomans Sports book because 0:12:18.280 --> 0:12:20.920 the gambling, what is gambling? 0:12:20.920 --> 0:12:22.680 I don't even know. I don't even know what it ish. 0:12:23.679 --> 0:12:25.520 Dak Prescott, of course, he. 0:12:25.480 --> 0:12:27.480 Had a phenomenal year last year. 0:12:27.320 --> 0:12:28.600 Was second in MVP voting. 0:12:28.720 --> 0:12:32.760 He has the old time Cowboys single season touchdown record 0:12:32.840 --> 0:12:37.360 with thirty seven previously thirty four and a half touchdowns. 0:12:37.360 --> 0:12:40.800 Do you think Dak hits thirty five touchdowns or not? 0:12:41.040 --> 0:12:43.199 Over under Isaiah under why is that? 0:12:44.080 --> 0:12:47.920 I have just I just have concerns about this receivers 0:12:48.000 --> 0:12:51.280 group's ability to stay healthy. 0:12:50.960 --> 0:12:51.920 For an entire year. 0:12:53.000 --> 0:12:55.520 We've already seen some soft tissue stuff out of that 0:12:55.559 --> 0:12:58.559 group already. We have somebody else coming back, and we're 0:12:58.600 --> 0:13:01.079 expecting him to just walk back into the same state 0:13:01.120 --> 0:13:03.280 that he was in prior to taking off all of 0:13:03.320 --> 0:13:06.360 carany camp. I think it's kind of hefty to put 0:13:06.360 --> 0:13:08.320 that on that group right now, and if you have 0:13:08.480 --> 0:13:11.880 one guy missing, that group at all. That group takes 0:13:11.920 --> 0:13:15.720 a tremendous hit. So I'm not sure that it's not 0:13:15.800 --> 0:13:18.719 as less about daxability as more about that room and 0:13:18.800 --> 0:13:23.559 can they stay healthy. And there's not enough room for error, 0:13:24.320 --> 0:13:25.920 you know what I'm saying. There's not enough fluff there 0:13:25.960 --> 0:13:27.880 in order for them to be able to take the 0:13:27.920 --> 0:13:30.000 blow of one person going down in that position, one 0:13:30.040 --> 0:13:31.240 of their two primary guys. 0:13:32.160 --> 0:13:32.920 I agree with you. 0:13:32.960 --> 0:13:35.800 I think if Cooks is hurt, it changes the dynamic 0:13:35.880 --> 0:13:38.280 of the offense. I think if Ceedee Lamb has hurt, 0:13:38.320 --> 0:13:42.400 of course it's a complete game changer. But he had 0:13:42.400 --> 0:13:44.839 thirty seven touchdowns in twenty twenty one when he played 0:13:44.880 --> 0:13:48.160 all sixteen games. Each of the last two seasons, he's 0:13:48.160 --> 0:13:51.000 played every game, or at least should have played every game, 0:13:51.600 --> 0:13:53.800 he's had at least thirty six touchdowns because he had 0:13:53.800 --> 0:13:57.319 thirty six last year to lead the league. It's possible 0:13:57.400 --> 0:14:00.760 even with one of those guys. Without CD, it's not possible. 0:14:01.040 --> 0:14:02.960 I think even if Cooks goes down, I think Dak 0:14:03.000 --> 0:14:06.000 can still get close to thirty five scores through the air. 0:14:06.120 --> 0:14:06.640 I do. 0:14:06.760 --> 0:14:08.559 I just I think he's that good of a quarterback 0:14:08.600 --> 0:14:11.080 and he's been that element of the offense. 0:14:11.640 --> 0:14:13.320 I'm going over on this one. 0:14:13.360 --> 0:14:15.200 I think Dak is going to throw more tds, but 0:14:15.240 --> 0:14:18.040 I also think it's gonna be it's gonna lead to 0:14:18.080 --> 0:14:20.040 more interceptions this year than last year as well. I 0:14:20.080 --> 0:14:21.560 think it's gonna get closer to that ten than he 0:14:21.560 --> 0:14:23.320 did last year. I think he ended up with eight 0:14:23.880 --> 0:14:27.280 last year, nine on the year because I think the 0:14:27.320 --> 0:14:29.720 running game is not exactly a strength on our team 0:14:29.800 --> 0:14:33.320 right now, at least you know, thus far, we really 0:14:33.320 --> 0:14:35.000 got to see how that will works, especially with the 0:14:35.000 --> 0:14:38.280 new offensive line. But I think the receivers without Ceedee 0:14:38.320 --> 0:14:39.960 Lamb at camp, I think they got in a lot 0:14:39.960 --> 0:14:41.680 of Obviously, they got a lot of work with Dak. 0:14:41.720 --> 0:14:44.360 A lot of chemistry was built there. You'll see Jalen Tolbert, 0:14:44.360 --> 0:14:45.800 You'll see Turby Turby Speed. 0:14:45.680 --> 0:14:49.800 Speed, and in Ceede's Lamb's absence. 0:14:49.440 --> 0:14:51.280 I think the chemistry was built there, and I think 0:14:51.680 --> 0:14:54.480 they will get more play this year than last year. 0:14:54.480 --> 0:14:57.320 Obviously, you know, I was My initial reaction was to 0:14:57.360 --> 0:15:01.040 go under because my thought process behind that was, you know, 0:15:01.080 --> 0:15:04.080 you have a rebuild offensive line, Your offensive line presumably 0:15:04.160 --> 0:15:06.560 is going to perform better, and that in and of itself, 0:15:06.560 --> 0:15:08.880 regardless of who's taking the handoffs, that should improve your 0:15:08.960 --> 0:15:09.400 running game. 0:15:09.520 --> 0:15:11.960 So if your running game is better, then you know. 0:15:11.960 --> 0:15:13.760 Turn down the passing game a little bit because it 0:15:13.760 --> 0:15:16.040 gets closer to balance. But then going back to a 0:15:16.120 --> 0:15:20.120 cow started talking about twenty twenty one, Ezekiel Elliott was 0:15:20.160 --> 0:15:22.920 a thousand yard rusher in twenty twenty one. So if 0:15:22.960 --> 0:15:25.560 the Cowboys had that type of production and Dak Prescott 0:15:25.600 --> 0:15:28.280 still put up thirty seven touchdowns because he spread the 0:15:28.320 --> 0:15:31.280 ball around to three top targets with Dalton Schultz and 0:15:31.320 --> 0:15:34.040 Amari Cooper and Ceedee Lamb, and those guys amounted for 0:15:34.080 --> 0:15:37.200 almost three thousand yards, I don't see why that wouldn't 0:15:37.200 --> 0:15:41.000 happen again, especially in a situation where we talked to 0:15:41.080 --> 0:15:43.880 Dak Prescott Brandon Cooks about this a lot this offseason. 0:15:44.000 --> 0:15:46.560 What's the level of comfort going into year two of 0:15:46.600 --> 0:15:51.040 Mike McCarthy's playmaking and playbook and they all said, it's 0:15:51.040 --> 0:15:53.160 not heavy installs anymore. Now, it's just go out there 0:15:53.160 --> 0:15:55.320 and play free. You know the assignments, you know everybody 0:15:55.360 --> 0:15:57.360 needs to be So when you add that aspect to 0:15:57.400 --> 0:16:01.880 it as well, I don't see why outside of injury, 0:16:01.960 --> 0:16:04.240 I don't see a reason that Dak Prescott should be 0:16:04.440 --> 0:16:06.720 under thirty four and a half. I see all the 0:16:06.720 --> 0:16:09.360 reasons that he should again be thirty six, thirty seven, 0:16:09.400 --> 0:16:12.160 maybe even thirty eight touchdowns. I'm not more. I'm not 0:16:12.200 --> 0:16:16.040 too much worried about injuries because Ceedee Lamb has been durable. 0:16:16.280 --> 0:16:18.400 Brandon Cooks, outside of what he's dealt with some niece 0:16:18.400 --> 0:16:20.960 sollness over the course of his career, he's been durable. 0:16:21.200 --> 0:16:23.840 Jake Ferguson has been durable. And who were the names 0:16:23.840 --> 0:16:26.040 I just mentioned in twenty twenty one, a Mark Cooper, 0:16:26.400 --> 0:16:30.200 Ceedee Lamb, and Dalton Shokes wide receiver one, wide receiver 0:16:30.240 --> 0:16:34.440 two tight end one. Okay, Ceedee Lamb, Brandon Cooks, Jake Ferguson. 0:16:34.520 --> 0:16:35.520 It's all lined up for you. 0:16:35.680 --> 0:16:36.760 Okay, I like it. 0:16:36.880 --> 0:16:39.600 What about Ceedee Lamb, since we're on that topic of conversation, 0:16:39.680 --> 0:16:42.640 he had a one hundred and thirty five receptions last year, 0:16:42.680 --> 0:16:44.840 so I set the over under at one thirty four 0:16:44.880 --> 0:16:48.120 point five. Do you think he has a better year 0:16:48.320 --> 0:16:51.040 receptions wise? Of course he led the league in that category. 0:16:51.440 --> 0:16:54.000 Or do you think he said sees a step back, Josh. 0:16:54.000 --> 0:16:54.440 I'm good. 0:16:54.480 --> 0:16:57.280 I'm going under for CD, he didn't get a full 0:16:57.320 --> 0:16:58.320 offseason to ramp up. 0:16:58.400 --> 0:17:00.720 I think that's going to show in Week one. 0:17:00.800 --> 0:17:02.320 I think we were talking about that too, where it's 0:17:02.320 --> 0:17:05.880 like you might not see the receptions or yards necessarily. 0:17:05.400 --> 0:17:07.600 There for them, a lot of decoy, a lot. 0:17:07.640 --> 0:17:10.600 I mean they're gonna be scheming up for CD, obviously, 0:17:10.640 --> 0:17:12.359 every team is, and I think they have to do 0:17:12.400 --> 0:17:14.480 that more than they did last year because of the 0:17:14.520 --> 0:17:17.040 output that he had last year. But I think that 0:17:17.080 --> 0:17:22.159 does lead to more windows opportunity for floy Tolbert and Turpy. 0:17:22.240 --> 0:17:24.800 Like we said, Speedee, like you said. 0:17:25.000 --> 0:17:29.000 Like we collectively said whenever you brought up the name Speedee, 0:17:28.960 --> 0:17:30.720 and I was like, honestly, man, it didn't really catch 0:17:30.720 --> 0:17:31.080 off for me. 0:17:31.440 --> 0:17:33.280 But honestly, the more. 0:17:33.160 --> 0:17:36.520 And more, the more and more we say it, it's 0:17:36.520 --> 0:17:39.159 gonna catch on. Catch What do you think that? 0:17:39.520 --> 0:17:45.639 Like Boler point five for CD, people are gonna call 0:17:45.720 --> 0:17:48.080 me hater, but I'm gonna say no, okay, And I 0:17:48.080 --> 0:17:49.680 don't really hate. Why don't that make you a hater 0:17:49.960 --> 0:17:52.159 because people don't just hater. I don't really care. But 0:17:55.040 --> 0:17:57.439 I think I would love to see CD continue on 0:17:57.480 --> 0:18:03.439 this pace of just continuous growth every single year, number wise, catches, attempts, yards, touchdowns, 0:18:03.480 --> 0:18:08.000 all that stuff is literally just been on a what's 0:18:08.000 --> 0:18:08.600 the prices right now? 0:18:08.680 --> 0:18:10.879 I knew you're about to say that, you know a 0:18:10.920 --> 0:18:13.200 mountain climber there, you don't fall off. 0:18:13.119 --> 0:18:15.199 The clif I would love to see it. I just 0:18:15.280 --> 0:18:17.639 I'm not going to put that pressure to expect that 0:18:18.320 --> 0:18:20.240
