Speaker 1: it's gonna be gonna have fun. We are gonna have fun.

23
00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:27,240
Speaker 1: All right, let's jump right in. And there's so much

24
00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:29,840
Speaker 1: It seemed like there's always some news breaking around here.

25
00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:33,280
Speaker 1: But we start hearing this morning of a new deal.

26
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:35,640
Speaker 1: Not one of the people that we had been talking

27
00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:39,000
Speaker 1: about previously who was getting a deal, Lyle Collins actually

28
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:42,200
Speaker 1: signs an extension. He was due to be an unrestricted

29
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:44,440
Speaker 1: free agent at the end of this season heading into

30
00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:47,200
Speaker 1: twenty twenty. Do you guys know the terms of the

31
00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:50,440
Speaker 1: deal as far as what he actually was paid as

32
00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:54,320
Speaker 1: a as a right tackle for the Dallas Cowboys. Five

33
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:58,080
Speaker 1: years and fifty million dollars of new money. The whole thing,

34
00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:00,280
Speaker 1: when you include the last year of his current deal,

35
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:04,400
Speaker 1: comes around to like fifty nine million dollars. Thirty five

36
00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:08,359
Speaker 1: and guarantees ish. I always like to say ish because

37
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:11,720
Speaker 1: you know they hide stuff in there, and the full

38
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:15,079
Speaker 1: guarantee and the injury guarantee are different in YadA YadA,

39
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:17,960
Speaker 1: but it's roughly thirty five. Does the fact that they

40
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:20,959
Speaker 1: did this deal with those other three big deals still

41
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:23,600
Speaker 1: sitting out there. Do you think that at all signals

42
00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:26,640
Speaker 1: that there's plenty of room to sign everyone, or do

43
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:29,240
Speaker 1: you take the other approach that there's only a certain

44
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:32,280
Speaker 1: pie and that pie shrinking with the addition of the

45
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:35,320
Speaker 1: Jalen deal and the and the Lyle deal, that now

46
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:37,920
Speaker 1: that pie is shrinking and it's less money out there

47
00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:39,800
Speaker 1: for those I don't agree with that at all, because

48
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:42,400
Speaker 1: that means that would be that would be bad business

49
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:44,720
Speaker 1: to do that. Yeah, they know where their priorities are.

50
00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:47,120
Speaker 1: I think whether it is is they're telling the other

51
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:50,320
Speaker 1: guys that the pie is shrinking and next year, who

52
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:52,040
Speaker 1: knows what it'll be, because they didn't have to make

53
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:54,320
Speaker 1: these deals right now, Lyle or Jalen. So I think

54
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:56,440
Speaker 1: it's like this is why it's pretty much going to

55
00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:59,200
Speaker 1: be for the other three guys. And so I don't

56
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:01,520
Speaker 1: think it's a really I don't think it's a signal

57
00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:04,799
Speaker 1: so much to them. It might be that they might

58
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:07,119
Speaker 1: be trying to signal that, but I think everybody who

59
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:10,200
Speaker 1: knows doesn't believe that at all. You'd have to be

60
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:12,920
Speaker 1: a sucker to believe it. Because the Lyle deal actually

61
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:15,840
Speaker 1: freed up six million dollars in cap space. And there's

62
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:18,280
Speaker 1: also the little part about how the cap jumps ten

63
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:22,040
Speaker 1: percent every March, so if anything, the pie got bigger.

64
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:25,480
Speaker 1: Now it's great to say, well, we're giving out all

65
00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:29,120
Speaker 1: this money. And I do think they didn't sign Lyle

66
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:32,560
Speaker 1: Collins to send a message, but it should send a message.

67
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:35,120
Speaker 1: It's like, hey, we're more than happy to sign you

68
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:37,440
Speaker 1: if you're willing to play ball with us. And that's

69
00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:41,119
Speaker 1: what Jalen Smith and Lyle Collins have done. Unfortunately, that's

70
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:43,920
Speaker 1: not gonna work for everybody. And you know, kudos to

71
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:47,120
Speaker 1: Jalen and Lyle. They've figured out what they prioritized and

72
00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:49,200
Speaker 1: it worked out. And there is enough money to go

73
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:53,200
Speaker 1: around if everybody's willing to sign for well below market value.

74
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:56,640
Speaker 1: But that's not everybody. Not everybody's going to do that.

75
00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:59,000
Speaker 1: As we're seeing with the other three. That's you have

76
00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:01,040
Speaker 1: to have team friendly deal. So if you're gonna have

77
00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:02,520
Speaker 1: guys that are going to break the bank, and I

78
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:05,040
Speaker 1: will say this about today, I know you're probably getting there,

79
00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:08,240
Speaker 1: but this is you know, lyall, that's this is the salad.

80
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:11,560
Speaker 1: You know, maybe the entres come yeah, oh yeah, oh

81
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:13,760
Speaker 1: we're gonna get to that definitely, are gonna get to them.

82
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:17,000
Speaker 1: Might take a little bit, you know, but relatively to

83
00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:20,720
Speaker 1: your like steak and the salad. But it's coming with

84
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:23,520
Speaker 1: these two deals. With this new deal, four or five

85
00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:26,040
Speaker 1: offensive linemen that start for the Dallas Cowboys are now

86
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:30,440
Speaker 1: locked up for the next five years until twenty twenty four. Williams,

87
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:33,000
Speaker 1: who is the fifth guy, He's locked up until twenty

88
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:36,280
Speaker 1: twenty two. Do you think they will all be still

89
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:39,799
Speaker 1: be around and healthy and dominant to see those five

90
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:43,520
Speaker 1: years out from now, you hope? So. I don't think

91
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:46,880
Speaker 1: offensive lines get much stronger than the ones that we

92
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:48,760
Speaker 1: have locked in. It's just a matter of I mean,

93
00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:51,400
Speaker 1: you never know, like something like Travis Frederick, but in

94
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:55,200
Speaker 1: terms of like physically you just don't know. Like I mean,

95
00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:57,919
Speaker 1: Tyren Smidman, Zach Martin have already had a little back

96
00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:02,760
Speaker 1: issues so far. Such a demanding position, right, That's kind

97
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:04,440
Speaker 1: of what I was getting to when you think about

98
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:07,400
Speaker 1: just these are not this isn't like you're working on

99
00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:09,279
Speaker 1: rookie deals. These are guys that are on their second

100
00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:11,720
Speaker 1: deals and you're five years out from having to really

101
00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:14,800
Speaker 1: even talk about contracts on an offensive line that most

102
00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:17,280
Speaker 1: people considered to be one of the most backed offensive

103
00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:20,320
Speaker 1: lines in the NFL. Does that give you a little

104
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:22,040
Speaker 1: bit of pause that maybe they don't get to the

105
00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:24,120
Speaker 1: end of those deals. That's that's kind of the point

106
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:26,560
Speaker 1: of the question. I mean, does how many guys really

107
00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:29,280
Speaker 1: get to the end of their long deal? It just

108
00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:33,080
Speaker 1: doesn't happen very often and is the most recent example

109
00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:35,080
Speaker 1: that comes to mind, Like, how many games did they

110
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:38,800
Speaker 1: get out of him after that deal? Like eighteens? Two years? Right,

111
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:41,720
Speaker 1: two years, one of which was severely limited by injury,

112
00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:45,320
Speaker 1: or two and a half. Yeah, but it was a

113
00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:49,599
Speaker 1: five year deal. So no, I wouldn't go that far.

114
00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:52,839
Speaker 1: But me personally, and I haven't had a chance to

115
00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:54,920
Speaker 1: talk to anybody. This is just my gut reaction. I

116
00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:57,839
Speaker 1: think they were just like, well, why wouldn't we do

117
00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:00,920
Speaker 1: this like they did. I don't think they planned this, honestly.

118
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:04,080
Speaker 1: I think they you know, they drafted Connor McGovern. They're like,

119
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:06,320
Speaker 1: we could move Williams, we can You think they were

120
00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:09,320
Speaker 1: actually thinking, most likely he was going to walk away, yeah,

121
00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:11,400
Speaker 1: because it couldn't afford and like I said, you know,

122
00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:13,480
Speaker 1: we've been saying that all year. We're like, you know,

123
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:16,480
Speaker 1: he's probably gonna be too expensive, and I don't we

124
00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:18,600
Speaker 1: were wrong. I don't think that makes us dumb though,

125
00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:21,480
Speaker 1: Like that's just logical to think a talented player is

126
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:24,279
Speaker 1: going to seek the most money possible because that's what

127
00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:26,920
Speaker 1: most of them do, rightfully. So this is their moment

128
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:29,599
Speaker 1: to give a contract, this second contract, especially for a

129
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:32,320
Speaker 1: guy like Lyaelle. Actually this would be his third contract

130
00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:35,200
Speaker 1: because they already did one, which is rare for a guy,

131
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:38,080
Speaker 1: you know, at his age, but his whole situation was

132
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:42,480
Speaker 1: rare coming into the league. So the question was, is

133
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:45,120
Speaker 1: you know, market value for him is still going to

134
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:48,120
Speaker 1: be higher than Tyrn Smith, And I think it's right now,

135
00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:50,599
Speaker 1: it's about it even. Yeah, So I think the guarantees.

136
00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:52,359
Speaker 1: I think I saw a graphic earlier to day that

137
00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:56,360
Speaker 1: sit the and guaranteed money. He is third among he's

138
00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:58,960
Speaker 1: either among right tackles or among tackles overall. I wasn't

139
00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:01,240
Speaker 1: sure on that, but it wasn't like this was a

140
00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:03,760
Speaker 1: deal where he made no money. That's what I'm saying.

141
00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:06,360
Speaker 1: He's gotten. He made. The Cowboys now have four offensive

142
00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:09,679
Speaker 1: linemen who are making significant money, which most people probably

143
00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:11,800
Speaker 1: would have thought they weren't going to be able to do.

144
00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:13,720
Speaker 1: You weren't going to be able to fit that much talent.

145
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:15,840
Speaker 1: But in the salary cap, again, when you're talking about

146
00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:18,720
Speaker 1: a quarterback, running back, receiver, all these other positions where

147
00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:20,520
Speaker 1: you're paying big money as well, and he is now

148
00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:22,880
Speaker 1: making top five money, let's not act like he's just

149
00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:26,679
Speaker 1: not making any money. But again, with the rising cap

150
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:29,320
Speaker 1: and the way the open market works, like he probably

151
00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:32,720
Speaker 1: could have gotten fifteen million dollars a year on the

152
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:36,280
Speaker 1: open market to play what and whatever they want, maybe

153
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:38,800
Speaker 1: left tackle. That's that's That's what happens a lot of

154
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:41,280
Speaker 1: times on the offensive line is you get this player

155
00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:43,680
Speaker 1: and you're gonna pay him a lot of money, but

156
00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:45,960
Speaker 1: you have to justify where you want to play him.

157
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:47,760
Speaker 1: And so I think he might have had to play

158
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:50,240
Speaker 1: go somewhere and play left tackle, which I'm not saying

159
00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:53,040
Speaker 1: he couldn't do that, but the way his body is,

160
00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:55,920
Speaker 1: I mean, he was built to play guard. I mean

161
00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:58,440
Speaker 1: he could still play guard. Now, he could play right tackle.

162
00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:00,160
Speaker 1: I don't know if he's if his body is at

163
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:02,800
Speaker 1: the point to play left tackle, but that happens sometimes,

164
00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:04,760
Speaker 1: and it does. But I get with the way the

165
00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:06,600
Speaker 1: salaries are and I don't have this in front of me,

166
00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:09,280
Speaker 1: but I guarantee you he could have gotten more than

167
00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:11,160
Speaker 1: ten a million a year to play right as play right.

168
00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:13,680
Speaker 1: I think so. And in today's NFL we've talked about

169
00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:16,280
Speaker 1: this before, too. Right tackle is becoming just as important

170
00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:18,800
Speaker 1: as left because most of the best, most dominant pass

171
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:21,240
Speaker 1: rushers these days are playing on the left side. But

172
00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:23,240
Speaker 1: what did we say, like, and not to two to

173
00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:25,120
Speaker 1: our own horn too much, but like two weeks ago,

174
00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:27,160
Speaker 1: right after the jail En deal, we were like, you know,

175
00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:30,400
Speaker 1: if a player has that mental makeup to take this

176
00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:33,240
Speaker 1: type of deal, it might be Lyle Collins. Like, he's

177
00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:36,320
Speaker 1: a low key guy. He likes to fish, he likes

178
00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:38,680
Speaker 1: being close to home in Louisiana. You know, it's a

179
00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:41,520
Speaker 1: short flight, not far away at all. That you know,

180
00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:44,520
Speaker 1: it's what he's comfortable with, and it doesn't surprise me

181
00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:46,520
Speaker 1: all that of all the guys in that locker room,

182
00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:48,120
Speaker 1: he was cool being like, yeah, I'll take that. And

183
00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:50,360
Speaker 1: if there's another guy that would probably be okay with

184
00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:52,960
Speaker 1: someone playing the same position to him that's not as good,

185
00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:55,880
Speaker 1: that's making just as much money, it would be Tyrn Smith. Yeah,

186
00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:58,240
Speaker 1: so you may not have the issue that we talked

187
00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:01,040
Speaker 1: about early and we talked about less week that that

188
00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:04,040
Speaker 1: maybe if Lyle got another deal, then does that affect

189
00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:06,319
Speaker 1: you know, Tyrn wanting to go back to the Well,

190
00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:08,839
Speaker 1: I personally would be a little bit shocked if he would,

191
00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:11,480
Speaker 1: just because of what I think I know of him. Yeah,

192
00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:14,960
Speaker 1: I agree, But and to go back to what I

193
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:17,400
Speaker 1: was saying is like, I don't think that they like

194
00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:19,760
Speaker 1: this wasn't in their plans that you know, like I said,

195
00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:22,520
Speaker 1: they drafted McGovern, they've got Connor, and now you know,

196
00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:24,559
Speaker 1: people are already talking about it on Twitter like whoa,

197
00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:26,920
Speaker 1: this doesn't make sense, Like now, what are they gonna

198
00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:29,920
Speaker 1: do with Connor McGovern and well, what figure it out?

199
00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:33,080
Speaker 1: Who cares? You're like, wait, you want to resign to

200
00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:35,480
Speaker 1: play with us for that much? Let's go whatever. We'll

201
00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:38,000
Speaker 1: worry about the rest of that later. As Bill Parcels

202
00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:40,240
Speaker 1: used to say, you were in the talent acquisition business,

203
00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:42,319
Speaker 1: which means you're never in the best situation where you

204
00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:45,800
Speaker 1: got talent, so keep getting more talent. And as Danny said,

205
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:48,440
Speaker 1: you never know about the situations that pop up when

206
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:50,800
Speaker 1: you know, like the Travis thing. So if you've got

207
00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:53,680
Speaker 1: oh my god, we got seven great linemen like okay,

208
00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:56,600
Speaker 1: sound good to those problems. How much do you think

209
00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:59,280
Speaker 1: this effects or does it affect a guy like Byron Jones?

210
00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:01,200
Speaker 1: Because I kind of put Byron and Lyle in the

211
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:04,040
Speaker 1: same category of guys that I thought there wouldn't at

212
00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:06,480
Speaker 1: some point there would be enough to sign everybody, and

213
00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:08,520
Speaker 1: so I thought those would be the two guys that

214
00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:11,440
Speaker 1: might be in a position where what they could command

215
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:13,559
Speaker 1: on the free agent market was going to be significantly

216
00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:15,400
Speaker 1: higher than what the Cowboys would offer, which means they

217
00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:17,640
Speaker 1: probably end up gone. Do you think this changes that

218
00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:20,520
Speaker 1: at all? Seeing that they're they're open to the idea

219
00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:23,840
Speaker 1: of kind of getting these guys and basically signing everybody.

220
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:26,560
Speaker 1: Do you think that does that change your opinion about

221
00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:29,559
Speaker 1: Byron Jones? I could see him, I think doing something

222
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:31,480
Speaker 1: more like Lyle, or maybe you don't take as much

223
00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:34,000
Speaker 1: money as you could elsewhere because you want to stay here.

224
00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:35,839
Speaker 1: I have to say, I keep kind of forgetting that

225
00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:37,200
Speaker 1: we have to sign him. I feel like that was

226
00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:38,520
Speaker 1: one of the off season I was like, Oh, that'll

227
00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:40,960
Speaker 1: be one of the ones. They'll get done rather quickly.

228
00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:44,840
Speaker 1: But yeah, you know, but that's a good point. I

229
00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:49,360
Speaker 1: mean Byron, like, I don't think it changes anything as

230
00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:53,040
Speaker 1: far as where the Cowboys will want to sign him. Yeah,

231
00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:55,160
Speaker 1: just well with anybody you'd like to get a deal,

232
00:10:55,360 --> 00:11:00,560
Speaker 1: you know. But I his is tricky because he's He's

233
00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:02,920
Speaker 1: not the first. He reminds me of a Miles Austin

234
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:05,719
Speaker 1: or even Tony Romo, to the point where when it

235
00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:08,680
Speaker 1: became time to sign him, he had only really done

236
00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:10,080
Speaker 1: it for one year. You can make the case for

237
00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:14,840
Speaker 1: DeMarcus Lawrence too, one really good year. So was this normal?

238
00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:16,520
Speaker 1: Is this the way it's going to be? Or I'd

239
00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:17,960
Speaker 1: like to see it again. So it's kind of a

240
00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:21,600
Speaker 1: tricky thing with Byron. I think you kind of play

241
00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:23,680
Speaker 1: it out this year and then and then let it

242
00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:26,520
Speaker 1: go to I've been under that impression too, like, let's

243
00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:29,160
Speaker 1: see if you can do it again. We'll figure that out.

244
00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:31,480
Speaker 1: If it costs us, it costs us. You can always

245
00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:35,320
Speaker 1: franchise tag him. Although I never, in my wildest dreams

246
00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:38,800
Speaker 1: would have guessed that both Dak and Amari are unsigned

247
00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:41,000
Speaker 1: five days before the season, I just didn't think that

248
00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:42,440
Speaker 1: was going to happen. Do you think we get to

249
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:45,920
Speaker 1: the game and they're still unsigned? Yeah? Actually, I just

250
00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:47,800
Speaker 1: I did a radio interview right before we came on

251
00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:49,880
Speaker 1: here where they asked me that. I was like, I

252
00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:52,200
Speaker 1: shouldn't be surprised on any by anything based on the

253
00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:54,920
Speaker 1: last two weeks. But yeah, like I just I feel

254
00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:56,720
Speaker 1: like you would have heard more movement on that if

255
00:11:56,760 --> 00:11:58,679
Speaker 1: it's all coming from an NFL report that I heard

256
00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:02,240
Speaker 1: about this morning where someone on National sid that there

257
00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:05,200
Speaker 1: is taught that that Dack's going to take a deal

258
00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:07,320
Speaker 1: from the Cowboys sometime this week before they get to

259
00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:10,200
Speaker 1: the game to basically mitigate his risk of getting hurt

260
00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:12,240
Speaker 1: in an actual game before he has a new deal.

261
00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:13,720
Speaker 1: If he was going to do that, why didn't he

262
00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:15,360
Speaker 1: do it? On not I I'm just saying that's where

263
00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:17,200
Speaker 1: a lot of these questions are coming from. I think

264
00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:18,959
Speaker 1: is that kind of report? I mean, but the way

265
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:20,840
Speaker 1: the Cowboys work, I mean think about it like back

266
00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:23,920
Speaker 1: way back for some of us when we were in school.

267
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:25,760
Speaker 1: I mean, if you have three tests, one of them

268
00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:27,720
Speaker 1: is next week, one of them is next Friday, one

269
00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:29,240
Speaker 1: of them is tomorrow. I mean, you're going to work

270
00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:32,240
Speaker 1: on the one for tomorrow, right, You're gonna start studying.

271
00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:34,640
Speaker 1: Well that's why, that's why what it is, this is

272
00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:37,640
Speaker 1: the deadline that there's only one deadline. But that's ultimately

273
00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:41,160
Speaker 1: why I think what Zeke did actually made sense. If

274
00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:44,000
Speaker 1: he misses games, it didn't, it then lacks making sense

275
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:46,520
Speaker 1: to me. But it actually makes sense because it allowed

276
00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:48,400
Speaker 1: him to jump line because he would have been that

277
00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:51,280
Speaker 1: guy that's not fat for next week. Well yeah, of course,

278
00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:53,800
Speaker 1: but even if he is fat, he's still got the deal.

279
00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:56,200
Speaker 1: So no, I'm just saying a point. It's true. It

280
00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:59,600
Speaker 1: works for him. Yeah, yeah, no, I mean, you know, yeah,

281
00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:01,840
Speaker 1: it's going to work well for him. I think it

282
00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:04,400
Speaker 1: looks like he's gonna be here without missing any games.

283
00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:05,760
Speaker 1: I guess we don't know that for sure yet, and

284
00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:08,640
Speaker 1: that helps him jump the line. But you can't argue

285
00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:10,840
Speaker 1: anything other than that it worked beautifully for him. If

286
00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:15,760
Speaker 1: that's how I mean, well done, sir. That's not Yeah,

287
00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:18,560
Speaker 1: forty days on the Baja host. I think that's right.

288
00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:21,400
Speaker 1: It's hard to beat Oxnard in Hawaii, but maybe that's

289
00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:23,800
Speaker 1: what Cowbo does. Yeah, yeah, all right, let's take our

290
00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:25,320
Speaker 1: first break. When we come back, we're gonna talk about

291
00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:28,079
Speaker 1: ezekiel La. We're gonna talk about where that contract situation

292
00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:31,160
Speaker 1: sits and what we expect this weekend. Do we expect

293
00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:33,000
Speaker 1: him to play on Sunday. That's the big question. We'll

294
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:34,240
Speaker 1: talk about that when we come right back. This is

295
00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:37,480
Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys dot Com Radio. Well, a player could look

296
00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:40,000
Speaker 1: good on paper, it's one he's out on the field

297
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:42,760
Speaker 1: that you really find out what he's made of. That's

298
00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:45,480
Speaker 1: why the Cowboys rely on more than just stats and

299
00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:49,320
Speaker 1: scouting reports when building their team. When picking a tractor,

300
00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:51,880
Speaker 1: it's why you should rely on more than just specs

301
00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:54,520
Speaker 1: and features. You've got to take it out and put

302
00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:57,160
Speaker 1: it to the test. The Cowboys did when they name

303
00:13:57,280 --> 00:14:01,679
Speaker 1: John Dear their official tractor variance. One for yourself. If

339
00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:04,400
Speaker 1: Thank you, Nick. Let's jump back in. Let's talk about

340
00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:09,280
Speaker 1: Ezekiel Elliott. This weekend, we started hearing reports that things

341
00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:12,000
Speaker 1: were heating up a bit. There was more dialogue that

342
00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:14,920
Speaker 1: was happening between the two sides, probably more dialogue than

343
00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:17,960
Speaker 1: we heard in the last month. And then we started

344
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:20,480
Speaker 1: hearing that kind of slowed down a bit, then pick

345
00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:23,400
Speaker 1: back up again over the last twenty four hours. There

346
00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:27,280
Speaker 1: was even report this morning that supposedly Zeke is going

347
00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:30,280
Speaker 1: to be flying back to Dallas in hopes that maybe

348
00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:33,880
Speaker 1: a deal gets done here in the near future. Are

349
00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:36,920
Speaker 1: you guys getting any indication as to what possibly is

350
00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:39,880
Speaker 1: holding this thing, what the what the hang up is?

351
00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:42,040
Speaker 1: If you were making progress and then it kind of

352
00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:45,200
Speaker 1: kind of comes to a little bit of a slower pace.

353
00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:47,360
Speaker 1: Have you heard any thing about what maybe the hold

354
00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:49,360
Speaker 1: up could be or do you have an opinion about

355
00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:51,440
Speaker 1: what the hold up could be? The details and the

356
00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:56,440
Speaker 1: contract language, just you know, the guarantee, the average annual salary,

357
00:16:56,640 --> 00:16:59,960
Speaker 1: the nuts and bolts of it, I mean, the indication,

358
00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:02,960
Speaker 1: and you know, I guess it was Sunday, which you know,

359
00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:05,560
Speaker 1: I'm I'm so happy it worked out that way. I

360
00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:07,399
Speaker 1: was in the car all day Sunday. I was just like,

361
00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:10,200
Speaker 1: I know, I know that this is all going to

362
00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:12,560
Speaker 1: go down while I'm driving a car and can't do

363
00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:14,879
Speaker 1: anything about it. And it held off, But that's because,

364
00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:17,119
Speaker 1: you know, it sounded like they were making progress, and

365
00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:19,320
Speaker 1: then all of a sudden you're kind of fine tuning it,

366
00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:22,399
Speaker 1: and one side is like, hang on a second, right,

367
00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:25,199
Speaker 1: that didn't work? Yeah, uh are you sure about that?

368
00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:28,119
Speaker 1: And then seven o'clock Sunday night, it sounded like it

369
00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:30,840
Speaker 1: had kind of fallen apart. And then I think both

370
00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:33,040
Speaker 1: sides were kind of like, oh, wait, the game is Sunday,

371
00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:37,360
Speaker 1: Like we don't we don't have time. Yeah, yeah, this

372
00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:39,879
Speaker 1: might have been the plan all along. It might just

373
00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:41,919
Speaker 1: be I'm going to show up on Wednesday before the

374
00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:45,560
Speaker 1: game and play. Let's get a deal done. So we've

375
00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:47,600
Speaker 1: heard a lot of things, you know, we've heard a

376
00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:51,800
Speaker 1: lot of different things about what isn't happening, And you know,

377
00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:55,160
Speaker 1: someone asked me on Twitter that like, sometimes I hear

378
00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:57,160
Speaker 1: it's it's close, and then I hear it's not close,

379
00:17:57,240 --> 00:17:58,480
Speaker 1: and then I hear it's close, down I hear it's

380
00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:00,159
Speaker 1: not close. Which one is it? I'm like, all of it.

381
00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:03,800
Speaker 1: I think it has been close and not close. Yeah, So,

382
00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:07,320
Speaker 1: I mean you mentioned Wednesday and you mentioned Sunday. Do

383
00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:09,040
Speaker 1: you think at this point, what do you think is

384
00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:13,000
Speaker 1: the actual deadline by which Zeke can actually play this

385
00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:19,960
Speaker 1: Sunday practice tomorrow? I really think so. I mean, if yeah,

386
00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:24,800
Speaker 1: I'm about he signs tonight or tomorrow, he's often on

387
00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:28,280
Speaker 1: another field doing some conditioning things, get back into it

388
00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:33,400
Speaker 1: on Thursday and walk through Friday. He's playing. But even still,

389
00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:34,959
Speaker 1: I mean, at that point, is he still playing as

390
00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:38,119
Speaker 1: much as he has every other years? Collard more Still,

391
00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:40,879
Speaker 1: that's a good question. I think I think Alfred Morris

392
00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:45,640
Speaker 1: is active. I think I mean, I think Morris um

393
00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:47,840
Speaker 1: you might have all of your running backs active for

394
00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:50,720
Speaker 1: this particular game, you might be a little close. And

395
00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:57,040
Speaker 1: as Seun actually been moved to the more Chun for

396
00:18:57,080 --> 00:19:00,240
Speaker 1: special teams though he's got to be off the roster though. Well, yeah,

397
00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:03,040
Speaker 1: and it could. It's probably be one of those backs.

398
00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:06,360
Speaker 1: It might be Alfred Morris, that's it. Could. I mean,

399
00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:10,440
Speaker 1: you need Jordan Chun to play special teams and you're

400
00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:13,880
Speaker 1: banged up at linebacker, so I don't know if it's

401
00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:16,080
Speaker 1: as clear cut as well. When you say need, I

402
00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:20,080
Speaker 1: mean they moved him up this week. So if the

403
00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:22,760
Speaker 1: my assumption from that was if Zeke would have been here,

404
00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:24,560
Speaker 1: they would not have moved him up. True, but I

405
00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:26,400
Speaker 1: don't know if they necessarily need him on special teams.

406
00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:28,479
Speaker 1: This might be maybe a nice to have though. Well,

407
00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:32,240
Speaker 1: but you also didn't know what was going to happen

408
00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:34,120
Speaker 1: with Zeke, and I think that he's going to help

409
00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:36,840
Speaker 1: you a lot more than Alfred Morris will because he's

410
00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:39,520
Speaker 1: going to play special teams because they're down on linebackers.

411
00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:43,320
Speaker 1: As Garrett even said, yeah, that's Garrett. Actually there's a

412
00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:45,720
Speaker 1: people in that press conference that thought he was saying

413
00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:48,000
Speaker 1: that he's going to move to linebacker and that's gonna

414
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:50,960
Speaker 1: help us with linebackers down, so he's gonna help us there.

415
00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:53,320
Speaker 1: And really what he was saying was he'll help us

416
00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:55,960
Speaker 1: on special saying what's happening here? You're reading something that's

417
00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:58,080
Speaker 1: I was trying to because Jerry Jones had a quote

418
00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:00,520
Speaker 1: about Zeke being ready to play this morning and I

419
00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:02,920
Speaker 1: was pulling up my email to read it. They asked

420
00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:05,800
Speaker 1: him on the fan, you know, what would you anticipate

421
00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:08,920
Speaker 1: his workload being if he signs this week? He said,

422
00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:10,280
Speaker 1: I don't want to get that far ahead of it,

423
00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:13,280
Speaker 1: but just knowing him, I knowed him to be in

424
00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:16,360
Speaker 1: great shape for any type of workload, which and then

425
00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:18,800
Speaker 1: Jerry made the joke he should be fresh because he

426
00:20:18,840 --> 00:20:23,080
Speaker 1: didn't have a preseason so, which, but I don't buy it. Like,

427
00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:27,560
Speaker 1: even if you're Zeke, it feels reckless to me to

428
00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:31,760
Speaker 1: think like he needs Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, forty days of

429
00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:34,800
Speaker 1: no football. You haven't had your eyes on him, he'd

430
00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:37,080
Speaker 1: you know, the medical staff hasn't seen him. I mean,

431
00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:39,240
Speaker 1: I'm sure he's in good shape, but it's just different

432
00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:41,800
Speaker 1: as opposed to being in the building for the last month.

433
00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:45,520
Speaker 1: And if he can't get if what you're saying is right,

434
00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:48,760
Speaker 1: and like he conditions Wednesday and practices Thursday and Friday. Fine,

435
00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:52,560
Speaker 1: but like you're setting yourself up for something like an

436
00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:55,000
Speaker 1: injury if you're just he shows up Friday and you

437
00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:56,680
Speaker 1: throw him in the game on Sunday. Me, this has

438
00:20:56,720 --> 00:21:00,639
Speaker 1: hamstring written all over those soft tissue issues. If he

439
00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:02,919
Speaker 1: even if he shows up, if he's at the practice

440
00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:06,320
Speaker 1: on Wednesday, I still think like ten to fifteen touches

441
00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:08,880
Speaker 1: to me, is a good amount of work for him

442
00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:11,399
Speaker 1: in this first game. To say he's only had three practices,

443
00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:14,080
Speaker 1: one of which is going to be a walkthrough um

444
00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:16,360
Speaker 1: to get himself ready to play when he hasn't been

445
00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:20,560
Speaker 1: doing football for forty days. So me, personally, I just

446
00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:23,879
Speaker 1: would prefer to say, hey, let's ease him back in. Because,

447
00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:26,520
Speaker 1: by the way, if you believe, which maybe you don't,

448
00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:28,919
Speaker 1: and maybe rightfully so, if you believe what they've been

449
00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:30,840
Speaker 1: saying that we can go into this game without Zeke

450
00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:33,720
Speaker 1: and will be okay, then it's a bonus, right, And

451
00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:35,080
Speaker 1: then it's a bonus that you get him for ten

452
00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:37,879
Speaker 1: to fifteen snaps. Right. I don't believe that. I get that.

453
00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:40,879
Speaker 1: I'm just saying I'm saying I'm saying it would him

454
00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:44,040
Speaker 1: I get that. I'm saying, though their words have been yeah,

455
00:21:44,119 --> 00:21:46,600
Speaker 1: we feel will be okay, want him to hear it.

456
00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:48,960
Speaker 1: But my point is, My point is if you can,

457
00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:51,239
Speaker 1: if you can have ten to fifteen snaps from him

458
00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:53,800
Speaker 1: and you feel like you can get a pretty decent workload,

459
00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:57,760
Speaker 1: Let's say ten to fifteen snaps from Pollard and then

460
00:21:57,760 --> 00:21:59,960
Speaker 1: whoever is at third running back, you give him five,

461
00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:02,760
Speaker 1: five to seven. I think you can. You can make

462
00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:05,600
Speaker 1: basically make this work, and I actually think it would

463
00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:07,600
Speaker 1: be good because you get to see Pollard in a

464
00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:10,440
Speaker 1: few more situations while you're easing Zeke back in. That's

465
00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:12,960
Speaker 1: the beauty of making that pick. If you really believe

466
00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:15,320
Speaker 1: he has something, then use him a little bit more

467
00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:17,600
Speaker 1: here while you're easing Zeke back in. There's there's another

468
00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:20,760
Speaker 1: factor into this thing too, fantasy football. Sorry no, well, yeah,

469
00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:23,720
Speaker 1: that's a big factor. But there's a freak factor involved.

470
00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:27,040
Speaker 1: Did you ever see Randy Moss stretch? He didn't. He

471
00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:29,320
Speaker 1: didn't stretch every the whole team was the weirdest thing.

472
00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:31,359
Speaker 1: The whole team would be in their line before the

473
00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:32,959
Speaker 1: game and he would just be running through like one

474
00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:35,640
Speaker 1: of the coaches, high five and people. He never stretched.

475
00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:38,879
Speaker 1: He was a freak. Zeke is kind of like that

476
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:42,879
Speaker 1: David Irving, sadly as it is these guys, I'm just

477
00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:45,480
Speaker 1: saying that you're on a different level. Deon Sanders was

478
00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:47,360
Speaker 1: a freak. He could go from baseball and over here

479
00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:50,440
Speaker 1: he is, He's sort of there. I'm not saying be reckless,

480
00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:52,440
Speaker 1: because I agree with everything you're saying, but I think

481
00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:55,240
Speaker 1: there's a factor there that guys like him that are

482
00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:58,760
Speaker 1: special can probably get away with things that other players can.

483
00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:00,800
Speaker 1: But since you have like one of those memories that's

484
00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:03,199
Speaker 1: like a trap, go back and tell me how he

485
00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:07,240
Speaker 1: performed in the first couple of games last year. Year before,

486
00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:10,440
Speaker 1: it seemed to me, again just looking from the outside in,

487
00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:13,040
Speaker 1: it seemed to me like he was a guy that

488
00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:16,840
Speaker 1: didn't get a hot start. And I always suspected it

489
00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:19,119
Speaker 1: was because he didn't really do much in the preseason,

490
00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:21,520
Speaker 1: and so going into the season that was kind of

491
00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:24,399
Speaker 1: his preseason. However, he was practicing, he just wasn't playing

492
00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:26,480
Speaker 1: in the preseason. So how much does that affect him

493
00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:29,880
Speaker 1: not even practicing during the preseason. Does he also get

494
00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:32,159
Speaker 1: that slow start, and he might he might get that.

495
00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:34,080
Speaker 1: I mean, there's first two years I don't think he

496
00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:36,760
Speaker 1: was that great. I think is I think last year

497
00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:38,720
Speaker 1: he was pretty good. Those first two games. I thought

498
00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:40,800
Speaker 1: I thought he was a little bit under what he

499
00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:43,920
Speaker 1: normally is last year. Last year he had sixty nine

500
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:46,600
Speaker 1: yards in a touchdown in the opener seventy eight yards

501
00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:48,280
Speaker 1: in a touchdown in the second game, which is a

502
00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:50,320
Speaker 1: little less than what he would typically although he did.

503
00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:52,639
Speaker 1: I mean, he averaged four points six yards per carry

504
00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:55,159
Speaker 1: in both games. Ye Week two on the road, he

505
00:23:55,240 --> 00:23:58,639
Speaker 1: has not been very good, if I remember correctly, Washington

506
00:23:58,920 --> 00:24:00,439
Speaker 1: and then you got the Seattle and when he came

507
00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:02,440
Speaker 1: back from the suspension, he wasn't good from that. That's

508
00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:04,480
Speaker 1: kind of relates to this in a way where you're

509
00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:08,560
Speaker 1: gone from the team. Not wrong. Yeah, but you know what,

510
00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:11,320
Speaker 1: and having said everything I just said about being smart,

511
00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:14,439
Speaker 1: like I'm I'm here for a good time, not a

512
00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:17,600
Speaker 1: long time. And it's way more fun if he shows

513
00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:20,600
Speaker 1: up Wednesday and gets twenty five carries for one thirty

514
00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:23,120
Speaker 1: on Sunday. So yeah, but I don't want to risk

515
00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:25,280
Speaker 1: the chances that you think it goes down with him

516
00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:27,960
Speaker 1: here for a long time. They do, they do, You're right,

517
00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:30,399
Speaker 1: I never risk the Injine. But man, like you know,

518
00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:33,320
Speaker 1: I always think like Nick is the story guy and

519
00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:36,920
Speaker 1: he's always got like you know, Witt and lace Rates

520
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:40,200
Speaker 1: is spleen on blah blah blah, and everybody thinks he's

521
00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:44,359
Speaker 1: out or like DeMarcus Ware, they carried him and the

522
00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:46,840
Speaker 1: next week he's back in the game winning. I can

523
00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:49,560
Speaker 1: just imagine like six years from now being like yeah,

524
00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:52,200
Speaker 1: and you know, Zeke showed up on Wednesday after forty

525
00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:54,879
Speaker 1: days away, and you know they were talking about Tony

526
00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:57,800
Speaker 1: Pollard getting carries and then Zeke goes for one forty

527
00:24:57,840 --> 00:24:59,920
Speaker 1: in the first the Cowboys in training camp to Coabo

528
00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:05,639
Speaker 1: Ammitt Smith. That's cool. Emmitt Smith. His rookie year he

529
00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:08,000
Speaker 1: was holding Now everyone talks about the ninety three hold out.

530
00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:09,639
Speaker 1: He was holding out his rookie year all the way

531
00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:13,479
Speaker 1: until like the Wednesday or Thursday before the before you know,

532
00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:16,600
Speaker 1: the season started at the kickoff luncheon and they introduced

533
00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:19,120
Speaker 1: him there and he played the first game one carried

534
00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:22,720
Speaker 1: two yards. So could the difference be though we're talking

535
00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:27,320
Speaker 1: about coming back the mentality aspect about this point when

536
00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:29,119
Speaker 1: he was coming back from the suspension or you know

537
00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:32,159
Speaker 1: that year back and forth he doesn't have that right.

538
00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:33,720
Speaker 1: I mean, now, if anything's going to be great, like

539
00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:35,480
Speaker 1: I got what I want, I'm here a long term,

540
00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:37,240
Speaker 1: like let's get to work. Would that be different for

541
00:25:37,280 --> 00:25:40,240
Speaker 1: the start of the season. I just think it's more

542
00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:44,320
Speaker 1: about game speed and game reps and getting back into

543
00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:45,919
Speaker 1: the flow of it more so than anything. I mean,

544
00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:50,439
Speaker 1: I've never questioned Zeke's attitude. He's he's a dog for

545
00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:53,000
Speaker 1: lack of a better word, and awesome. Honestly, I don't

546
00:25:53,080 --> 00:25:56,359
Speaker 1: question I don't question his ability to be Oh, Denver

547
00:25:56,520 --> 00:25:59,600
Speaker 1: game attitude wasn't great there, there's a good interception, I

548
00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:02,280
Speaker 1: don't need tackle. You know what. He came back the

549
00:26:02,320 --> 00:26:04,399
Speaker 1: next game and I think he was hurtling people and

550
00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:06,520
Speaker 1: the Bears or whatever. And maybe that wasn't Maybe I

551
00:26:06,560 --> 00:26:08,240
Speaker 1: got my seasons mixed up there, but I think you do.

552
00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:11,400
Speaker 1: But I mean he came back and he played pretty well.

553
00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:14,080
Speaker 1: Then it's actually really fitting. Like we talked to Lyle

554
00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:17,480
Speaker 1: Collins yesterday, not having any clue that he was about

555
00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:19,720
Speaker 1: to be the newest side member of the team. He did.

556
00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:22,520
Speaker 1: He probably by his answers, you could tell by his

557
00:26:22,520 --> 00:26:24,919
Speaker 1: answers he knew. He was Like he's like Zeke's not

558
00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:27,159
Speaker 1: a teammate, he's family. He had I don't know the

559
00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:29,080
Speaker 1: exact quote, but he had this great quote about how

560
00:26:29,119 --> 00:26:32,040
Speaker 1: like nobody's nobody's got to look in his eye like

561
00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:34,639
Speaker 1: Zeke does on game day, like we need him. Just

562
00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:37,600
Speaker 1: from that standpoint, all right, cool, But that's the thing

563
00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:40,119
Speaker 1: I don't I don't doubt that Zeke will be in

564
00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:43,840
Speaker 1: good shape and ready to play. My thing is always

565
00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:46,200
Speaker 1: just when you missed training camp. There's a reason why

566
00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:48,880
Speaker 1: they do training camp. And you can talk about preseason

567
00:26:48,880 --> 00:26:51,159
Speaker 1: games not getting guys hurt, but just going through the

568
00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:53,360
Speaker 1: grind of training camp. I think it has a way

569
00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:56,280
Speaker 1: of hardening the body. If getting the body ready for

570
00:26:56,400 --> 00:26:59,320
Speaker 1: the banging net will that will happen during a regular season.

571
00:26:59,359 --> 00:27:01,240
Speaker 1: And that's not a sorry banging as far as them

572
00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:03,560
Speaker 1: being tackled to the ground anything like that, But it

573
00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:07,280
Speaker 1: is just it is just the ability for their bodies

574
00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:10,400
Speaker 1: to get you, Dave. It is the ability for their

575
00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:13,399
Speaker 1: bodies to get used to the pounding like it is

576
00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:16,919
Speaker 1: a regular everyday occurrence in training camp, and you go

577
00:27:17,040 --> 00:27:20,000
Speaker 1: through the pains and the aches of I'm having to

578
00:27:20,040 --> 00:27:22,080
Speaker 1: get up every morning and be sore from the day

579
00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:24,040
Speaker 1: before and still have to go out there and do

580
00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:25,800
Speaker 1: it all over again. And I think that has a

581
00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:28,560
Speaker 1: way of preparing you for a season when you miss it.

582
00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:30,920
Speaker 1: I've seen a lot of players in the NFL that

583
00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:34,359
Speaker 1: miss training camp and what happened soft tissue injuries early

584
00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:38,040
Speaker 1: in the season because their bodies aren't ready for the pounding.

585
00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:39,800
Speaker 1: And we know he's been working out in Kabba, but

586
00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:42,360
Speaker 1: we don't know what he's been doing. It's I mean,

587
00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:46,040
Speaker 1: from you can't practice football. From the looks of various

588
00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:49,560
Speaker 1: Instagram feeds, it looks like footwork drills and you know,

589
00:27:49,640 --> 00:27:52,240
Speaker 1: all that type of stuff that that's nice, but it's

590
00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:54,560
Speaker 1: not football, right, and so ease him in. No, I'm

591
00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:57,280
Speaker 1: time to get acclimated. It would be really fun if

592
00:27:57,320 --> 00:27:59,280
Speaker 1: he had like a game for the ages, but I

593
00:27:59,320 --> 00:28:01,879
Speaker 1: think it would be smart to let Pollard and maybe

594
00:28:01,880 --> 00:28:05,160
Speaker 1: even Alfred Morris have a healthy workload even if he's there.

595
00:28:05,880 --> 00:28:07,680
Speaker 1: All right, let's go and take our final break. We'll

596
00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:09,879
Speaker 1: come back. We recently talk a little bit about cuts.

597
00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:11,760
Speaker 1: We haven't had a show since the Cowboys made their

598
00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:13,560
Speaker 1: cut to the final fifty three. We'll talk about that.

599
00:28:13,680 --> 00:28:16,200
Speaker 1: Some things that may have surprised you or some things

600
00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:17,840
Speaker 1: that may have been disappointment. See you. We'll talk about

601
00:28:17,840 --> 00:28:19,320

Speaker 1: of The Break live in the SWBC Mortgage Studios at

639
00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:29,200
Speaker 1: the Star, Let's talk about the final fifty three roster

640
00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:31,800
Speaker 1: this weekend. The Cowboys made their cuts. They got down

641
00:30:31,840 --> 00:30:34,040
Speaker 1: to fifty three, as every team in the NFL did.

642
00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:36,760
Speaker 1: I want to start this conversation by asking the question,

643
00:30:36,920 --> 00:30:40,240
Speaker 1: what was the biggest surprise coming out of the final

644
00:30:40,280 --> 00:30:44,200
Speaker 1: fifty three? Dave, the biggest. If I had to pick

645
00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:48,400
Speaker 1: a biggest surprise, probably that Cedric Wilson didn't make it,

646
00:30:49,360 --> 00:30:51,600
Speaker 1: or Donovan A. Lumba too, But I mean I don't

647
00:30:51,640 --> 00:30:54,320
Speaker 1: think it too Okay, Sorry, I mean I don't think

648
00:30:54,360 --> 00:30:56,800
Speaker 1: either one is a shocker. I guess is my pointer? Right?

649
00:30:56,880 --> 00:31:00,240
Speaker 1: Most surprise you aretha, go ahead? Brandon Knight making the team.

650
00:31:01,200 --> 00:31:03,560
Speaker 1: I mean we didn't he didn't play that much. We

651
00:31:03,640 --> 00:31:05,760
Speaker 1: didn't even have him as one of our bubble guys.

652
00:31:06,800 --> 00:31:09,320
Speaker 1: The fact that he's still here, yeah, that's kind of surprising.

653
00:31:09,960 --> 00:31:12,280
Speaker 1: This just goes to show that this is how good

654
00:31:12,280 --> 00:31:14,960
Speaker 1: of a football team this is. If Cedric Wilson not

655
00:31:15,040 --> 00:31:17,440
Speaker 1: making in or Alumba and Brandon Knight making it, I mean,

656
00:31:18,280 --> 00:31:21,800
Speaker 1: you know, it's there's nothing Major. There's no Dan Baileys

657
00:31:21,840 --> 00:31:24,880
Speaker 1: this year. Cedric Wilson was mine. I mean, he's still

658
00:31:25,080 --> 00:31:27,920
Speaker 1: practice squad, But I though I guess they were going

659
00:31:27,960 --> 00:31:31,720
Speaker 1: to go six. Donovan Alumba, I don't think really surprised

660
00:31:31,760 --> 00:31:33,800
Speaker 1: me as much. Just with I mean Donovan Wilson, it

661
00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:37,720
Speaker 1: got really good DBS. It's true Cedrick Wilson was mine,

662
00:31:38,120 --> 00:31:40,680
Speaker 1: I will say. And to that point, Danny, which I

663
00:31:40,720 --> 00:31:43,600
Speaker 1: think you're right, but I'm not. I'm not directing this

664
00:31:43,640 --> 00:31:45,640
Speaker 1: at fans. I'm not trying to talk down on anybody.

665
00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:49,960
Speaker 1: It's something we should all keep in mind. People don't

666
00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:53,280
Speaker 1: get claimed that often in the NFL, Like for the

667
00:31:53,360 --> 00:31:56,280
Speaker 1: most part, every team in the league has guys like this,

668
00:31:56,560 --> 00:31:59,240
Speaker 1: like a moderately fast receiver who can go inside and

669
00:31:59,280 --> 00:32:02,520
Speaker 1: outside and return and punts like Cedric Wilson. I think

670
00:32:02,520 --> 00:32:04,440
Speaker 1: he's better than Lance Lenore. But is it like this

671
00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:07,080
Speaker 1: just huge difference between the type of player that they

672
00:32:07,120 --> 00:32:09,680
Speaker 1: are right now when their careers. Daniel Wise is the

673
00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:12,200
Speaker 1: same way. You know, like the number of people that

674
00:32:12,680 --> 00:32:16,400
Speaker 1: were just beside themselves with rage that Daniel Wise was

675
00:32:16,480 --> 00:32:19,040
Speaker 1: subject to waiver claims and here he is. He's right

676
00:32:19,040 --> 00:32:21,320
Speaker 1: back there on the practice squad. They just not that

677
00:32:21,320 --> 00:32:23,440
Speaker 1: many players get claimed, and it's you know, I'm going

678
00:32:23,520 --> 00:32:26,080
Speaker 1: to keep this in mind next year because next July

679
00:32:26,160 --> 00:32:28,000
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be sitting there with the roster in front

680
00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:30,040
Speaker 1: of me, like, how they how are they gonna do this?

681
00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:31,960
Speaker 1: And they're gonna do it. It's gonna be fine. Ye.

682
00:32:32,480 --> 00:32:34,600
Speaker 1: One thing that that stood out to me the Cowboys

683
00:32:34,600 --> 00:32:38,280
Speaker 1: decided to keep six defensive ends. What do you guys

684
00:32:38,280 --> 00:32:41,800
Speaker 1: think about that? From the standpoint of obviously, you don't

685
00:32:41,840 --> 00:32:44,160
Speaker 1: have to worry about Robert Quinn right now. He's he's suspended,

686
00:32:44,440 --> 00:32:46,200
Speaker 1: but when he comes back. I know we talked about

687
00:32:46,240 --> 00:32:47,480
Speaker 1: you know, these things kind of have a way of

688
00:32:47,520 --> 00:32:49,880
Speaker 1: working themselves out. But do you think it gets to

689
00:32:49,920 --> 00:32:52,080
Speaker 1: a point even if another position you have an injury

690
00:32:52,080 --> 00:32:53,920
Speaker 1: at where you can put him on there seems like

691
00:32:53,960 --> 00:32:56,440
Speaker 1: that's still a huge number of defensive ends that you

692
00:32:56,480 --> 00:32:59,080
Speaker 1: would carry. How do you think that all plays out

693
00:32:59,120 --> 00:33:01,280
Speaker 1: as you as you through the season, as particularly as

694
00:33:01,320 --> 00:33:02,800
Speaker 1: you get to the third game of the season. Well,

695
00:33:02,800 --> 00:33:05,960
Speaker 1: we'll see you're sixth six, Okay, so five on the

696
00:33:06,040 --> 00:33:09,760
Speaker 1: roster right now? Yeah, I mean I do believe that

697
00:33:09,800 --> 00:33:12,360
Speaker 1: though something's gonna work itself out. I mean two games,

698
00:33:12,360 --> 00:33:14,720
Speaker 1: you're gonna find something out about one of those five

699
00:33:14,800 --> 00:33:18,000
Speaker 1: defensive ends, whether whether or not one of them's hurt

700
00:33:18,320 --> 00:33:20,440
Speaker 1: or one of them's not very good. Let me correct that.

701
00:33:20,560 --> 00:33:22,640
Speaker 1: Actually they're six on the roster right now, six on

702
00:33:22,640 --> 00:33:25,040
Speaker 1: the roster and then him. So they got Tank, Tyrone

703
00:33:25,520 --> 00:33:30,040
Speaker 1: and Hyder, Hyder, Taco and Joe Jackson. Yeah. I mean

704
00:33:30,640 --> 00:33:34,040
Speaker 1: it's a lot of defensive ends. Hyder and Tyrone can

705
00:33:34,120 --> 00:33:36,160
Speaker 1: can swing that. I mean, you know, also play tackles,

706
00:33:36,160 --> 00:33:38,400
Speaker 1: so that true, it's helpful. I think what was hard

707
00:33:38,480 --> 00:33:41,200
Speaker 1: was we were all kind of questioning Taco's future. But

708
00:33:41,240 --> 00:33:43,360
Speaker 1: I think his contract and all that kind of played

709
00:33:43,400 --> 00:33:46,320
Speaker 1: more into it than just his play. But I think

710
00:33:46,440 --> 00:33:50,840
Speaker 1: they probably won't use Hyder at end as often. I

711
00:33:50,840 --> 00:33:54,880
Speaker 1: think they would do the Crawford instead. You think you'll

712
00:33:54,920 --> 00:33:57,120
Speaker 1: be an inside. I like, I like Hyder on the

713
00:33:57,120 --> 00:34:00,720
Speaker 1: outside and Crawford inside. I think Hyder is gonna get

714
00:34:00,760 --> 00:34:02,280
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna be second on the team in

715
00:34:02,320 --> 00:34:06,040
Speaker 1: sacks this year, Damn I do. That's I mean, ahead

716
00:34:06,040 --> 00:34:08,800
Speaker 1: of Quinn because I assume Tank's going to be your first,

717
00:34:08,880 --> 00:34:14,799
Speaker 1: right Oh tacle okay. Led the preseason, he said preseasons

718
00:34:14,800 --> 00:34:18,000
Speaker 1: don't mean anything. That's what he said. He did say

719
00:34:18,040 --> 00:34:22,440
Speaker 1: that I can't say anything anything. I'm not trying to

720
00:34:22,440 --> 00:34:24,319
Speaker 1: come for the guy's roster spot because he had a

721
00:34:24,320 --> 00:34:28,120
Speaker 1: good preseason. But I just to your point, I mean,

722
00:34:28,120 --> 00:34:30,120
Speaker 1: I don't know that you can take yourself off of

723
00:34:30,160 --> 00:34:33,440
Speaker 1: Taco Watch yet, because again to give where are you

724
00:34:33,440 --> 00:34:35,520
Speaker 1: freeing up that roster spot as soon? I mean, and

725
00:34:35,680 --> 00:34:38,879
Speaker 1: you know, it does typically work out where somebody gets hurt,

726
00:34:38,960 --> 00:34:43,160
Speaker 1: you know, somebody like strains something or pulls something or whatever.

727
00:34:43,440 --> 00:34:45,759
Speaker 1: But if it doesn't, I mean, it's gonna it's gonna

728
00:34:45,800 --> 00:34:47,399
Speaker 1: have to be a major enough injury to where you're

729
00:34:47,400 --> 00:34:49,640
Speaker 1: willing to prick them on ir that's the issue. And

730
00:34:49,920 --> 00:34:54,560
Speaker 1: you know what do you have to keep Quinn? What

731
00:34:54,680 --> 00:34:56,920
Speaker 1: has he done in the before his injury that it

732
00:34:57,040 --> 00:34:58,480
Speaker 1: was like, oh my god, I gotta have it. I

733
00:34:58,520 --> 00:35:00,480
Speaker 1: don't know. I'm just saying he's eight million in the year.

734
00:35:01,520 --> 00:35:04,759
Speaker 1: I guess she don't have to. But like I would think,

735
00:35:04,800 --> 00:35:08,120
Speaker 1: if he's available, he's at least your third best defensive end,

736
00:35:08,120 --> 00:35:09,719
Speaker 1: if not your second one. Like I really hate that

737
00:35:09,760 --> 00:35:11,439
Speaker 1: you even brought that he was trying he was trying

738
00:35:11,440 --> 00:35:13,479
Speaker 1: to come for Tyrone a couple of weeks ago. So

739
00:35:13,640 --> 00:35:15,440
Speaker 1: he's just trying to stir it up. No, I'm not

740
00:35:15,480 --> 00:35:17,680
Speaker 1: trying to stir up. I'm just trying to I'm not

741
00:35:17,680 --> 00:35:19,720
Speaker 1: trying to get hit in the Dan Bailey face again.

742
00:35:19,840 --> 00:35:21,760
Speaker 1: I mean, that's what I'm We need to be paying

743
00:35:21,760 --> 00:35:23,719
Speaker 1: attention to these things. No, that's I mean, it's a

744
00:35:23,760 --> 00:35:26,120
Speaker 1: fair question. I just I just don't I don't see

745
00:35:26,160 --> 00:35:28,600
Speaker 1: why you sign a guy you're dreaming about, sign a

746
00:35:28,640 --> 00:35:31,719
Speaker 1: guy and then he gets hurt. Remember when you I

747
00:35:31,760 --> 00:35:34,240
Speaker 1: did dream about. You don't sign a guy like Quinn

748
00:35:34,360 --> 00:35:37,640
Speaker 1: for him to be all world in training camp. You

749
00:35:37,680 --> 00:35:39,440
Speaker 1: signed him to be a good player when you get

750
00:35:39,440 --> 00:35:41,839
Speaker 1: to the regular season. So I don't think that there's

751
00:35:41,880 --> 00:35:44,040
Speaker 1: a scenario where you're like, oh, yeah, we don't need him.

752
00:35:44,080 --> 00:35:45,640
Speaker 1: We thought we needed him in the offseason, but now

753
00:35:45,680 --> 00:35:48,040
Speaker 1: we think we're good. Okay. If I really cared to

754
00:35:48,120 --> 00:35:50,359
Speaker 1: argue that much on both sides, that would just take

755
00:35:50,360 --> 00:35:52,520
Speaker 1: the other side and say they didn't know that they

756
00:35:52,560 --> 00:35:55,839
Speaker 1: had what they had and carry hider. They didn't know that.

757
00:35:56,080 --> 00:35:58,040
Speaker 1: What do you haven't carry hut? I mean, like you

758
00:35:58,200 --> 00:36:00,239
Speaker 1: you saw his training camp. Now he had a good Yeah,

759
00:36:00,320 --> 00:36:02,040
Speaker 1: but I'm just still don't know what you're gonna get

760
00:36:02,080 --> 00:36:03,880
Speaker 1: when you get to the sixteen games in the regulat, right,

761
00:36:03,920 --> 00:36:05,239
Speaker 1: you don't know what you're gonna get with anybody. But

762
00:36:05,280 --> 00:36:08,520
Speaker 1: I'm just saying I think that they would be okay.

763
00:36:08,640 --> 00:36:11,000
Speaker 1: I mean, are you worried are these two l's here

764
00:36:11,040 --> 00:36:12,960
Speaker 1: because they don't have Quinn? No, not at all. You

765
00:36:12,960 --> 00:36:15,480
Speaker 1: can also think they can get by if they needed

766
00:36:15,520 --> 00:36:18,360
Speaker 1: it and they have all these problems. I mean, of course,

767
00:36:18,520 --> 00:36:20,080
Speaker 1: then that's also a lot of money you can you

768
00:36:20,120 --> 00:36:21,759
Speaker 1: can knock off of this year as well. So I'm

769
00:36:21,760 --> 00:36:24,279
Speaker 1: just saying, let's don't throw. If we're gonna throw all

770
00:36:24,320 --> 00:36:27,040
Speaker 1: the scenarios on the table, I think that's to be considered.

771
00:36:27,160 --> 00:36:29,480
Speaker 1: You can mix and match this thing too. I mean,

772
00:36:30,400 --> 00:36:33,439
Speaker 1: if Zeke comes back, you probably drop a running back.

773
00:36:34,120 --> 00:36:37,439
Speaker 1: They don't need ten defensive backs, especially when when darry

774
00:36:37,520 --> 00:36:41,120
Speaker 1: and Thompson and Donovan Wilson get healthy. Right, that's something

775
00:36:41,160 --> 00:36:44,799
Speaker 1: to watch um. And then they're heavy at offensive line too.

776
00:36:44,840 --> 00:36:47,480
Speaker 1: I mean Adam Redmond. I'm glad Adam Redmond is on

777
00:36:47,480 --> 00:36:49,440
Speaker 1: the team, and Brandon Knight too for that matter, but

778
00:36:49,840 --> 00:36:52,080
Speaker 1: do they both need to be here over a pro

779
00:36:52,160 --> 00:36:54,520
Speaker 1: Bowl pass rusher. I don't know that was actually gonna

780
00:36:54,520 --> 00:36:55,799
Speaker 1: be the second question. I was going to go to

781
00:36:55,880 --> 00:36:59,240
Speaker 1: a safety. Cavon Frasier makes it along with Donovan Wilson

782
00:36:59,320 --> 00:37:01,319
Speaker 1: and Darry and tom Do you think that's maybe just

783
00:37:01,360 --> 00:37:03,759
Speaker 1: because of the injuries and then we might see, as

784
00:37:03,800 --> 00:37:06,239
Speaker 1: you need to get Robert Quinn onto the roster, that

785
00:37:06,400 --> 00:37:09,680
Speaker 1: maybe Cavon becomes a guy that's expendable. That's true. Yeah,

786
00:37:09,520 --> 00:37:11,680
Speaker 1: that's a great point. Doesn't have to be defensive end

787
00:37:11,680 --> 00:37:14,040
Speaker 1: that gets cut here. I mean, you got to figure

788
00:37:14,040 --> 00:37:16,200
Speaker 1: out who's going to be active every game, but it

789
00:37:16,239 --> 00:37:19,960
Speaker 1: doesn't have to be Donovan, Wilson and Thompson are the

790
00:37:20,040 --> 00:37:22,560
Speaker 1: only and Luke Gifford. Those are the only three guys

791
00:37:22,560 --> 00:37:25,480
Speaker 1: that didn't practice yesterday. So they have three healthy safeties

792
00:37:25,560 --> 00:37:28,640
Speaker 1: right now. So injuries helped a lot of players. Yeah,

793
00:37:28,680 --> 00:37:31,200
Speaker 1: I think you're right, and I'll say it for the

794
00:37:31,239 --> 00:37:33,640
Speaker 1: million times. Like I love Cavon Frasier. It makes me

795
00:37:33,680 --> 00:37:36,200
Speaker 1: feel gross like talking about his job like that, but

796
00:37:36,280 --> 00:37:38,239
Speaker 1: I mean, I think that's something to watch when these

797
00:37:38,280 --> 00:37:42,240
Speaker 1: other safeties get healthy. You know, they're heavy at offensive

798
00:37:42,280 --> 00:37:44,680
Speaker 1: line right now, and they're heavy at safety, and they're

799
00:37:44,880 --> 00:37:49,799
Speaker 1: heavy at defensive end or you know, it goes a

800
00:37:49,840 --> 00:37:51,960
Speaker 1: long way when you don't have to carry three quarterbacks

801
00:37:51,960 --> 00:37:54,719
Speaker 1: and you don't have to carry four tight ends, you know,

802
00:37:54,840 --> 00:37:56,719
Speaker 1: just because you were trying to see what Rico can

803
00:37:56,719 --> 00:37:58,640
Speaker 1: do and trying to see if Mike White is worthy

804
00:37:58,800 --> 00:38:02,360
Speaker 1: worthy of a spot. There's nobody on this team right

805
00:38:02,400 --> 00:38:05,799
Speaker 1: now where I don't understand why they're here, and that

806
00:38:05,880 --> 00:38:10,439
Speaker 1: hasn't been always the case. So that's cool. Well, why

807
00:38:10,480 --> 00:38:14,919
Speaker 1: is Brandon Knight here? Because he I think he he's

808
00:38:14,920 --> 00:38:16,759
Speaker 1: got the flex to play. I think you could even

809
00:38:16,800 --> 00:38:18,920
Speaker 1: say four positions. I think center is probably the only

810
00:38:18,920 --> 00:38:20,880
Speaker 1: spot he couldn't play, not saying he'd be great at it.

811
00:38:21,200 --> 00:38:23,640
Speaker 1: And I think, much like Gifford, I think they were

812
00:38:23,680 --> 00:38:26,399
Speaker 1: impressed by what he showed in those two weeks before

813
00:38:26,400 --> 00:38:28,480
Speaker 1: he got hurt that they were like, okay, well yeah,

814
00:38:28,560 --> 00:38:31,320
Speaker 1: And I know I just said, people don't get claimed,

815
00:38:31,360 --> 00:38:33,279
Speaker 1: but if you really feel strongly about a guy, why

816
00:38:33,400 --> 00:38:36,000
Speaker 1: chance it? Yeah? I mean some people get claimed. Yeah yeah.

817
00:38:36,640 --> 00:38:39,920
Speaker 1: And they talked these these age I mean these scouts,

818
00:38:39,960 --> 00:38:42,160
Speaker 1: you know, they talked to other teams and they kind

819
00:38:42,200 --> 00:38:44,640
Speaker 1: of know who's getting interest. I mean, I guarantee a

820
00:38:44,640 --> 00:38:47,400
Speaker 1: few people will will be asking these scouts, like when

821
00:38:47,440 --> 00:38:49,680
Speaker 1: they're on the road, what's up with sixty nine? What's

822
00:38:49,760 --> 00:38:52,319
Speaker 1: up with that Brandon Knight? You know, oh yeah, we'd

823
00:38:52,320 --> 00:38:54,040
Speaker 1: like him. You know, you get four or five of

824
00:38:54,040 --> 00:38:56,520
Speaker 1: those questions. You know. Maybe nobody was doing that with

825
00:38:56,640 --> 00:38:58,840
Speaker 1: Daniel Wise. Yeah. I talked to Leon Lett and he

826
00:38:59,440 --> 00:39:02,560
Speaker 1: thought there was no way that Leon or that Daniel

827
00:39:02,640 --> 00:39:05,160
Speaker 1: Wise was not going to get claimed. But like Dave said,

828
00:39:05,280 --> 00:39:08,120
Speaker 1: doesn't happen all the time. That's true. All right, We're

829
00:39:08,160 --> 00:39:10,920
Speaker 1: gonna start tomorrow as we do every season. We're getting

830
00:39:10,920 --> 00:39:13,520
Speaker 1: ready for the upcoming game. We haven't had real talk

831
00:39:13,560 --> 00:39:16,080
Speaker 1: on the show about other teams. We'll start that tomorrow, Dave.

832
00:39:16,120 --> 00:39:19,120
Speaker 1: We'll start back with his offense and a defensive breakdowns.

833
00:39:19,120 --> 00:39:21,600
Speaker 1: I guess we'll start tomorrow with the Giants offense versus

834
00:39:21,840 --> 00:39:25,959
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, Giants defense versus the Cowboys offense and break

835
00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:27,520
Speaker 1: that down. But I do want to do this on

836
00:39:27,560 --> 00:39:29,480
Speaker 1: Tuesdays from now on. I want to ask you guys

837
00:39:29,560 --> 00:39:32,000
Speaker 1: one simple question this week. I'm gonna have a little

838
00:39:32,040 --> 00:39:34,640
Speaker 1: caveat to the question, but the question will be, what

839
00:39:34,800 --> 00:39:38,400
Speaker 1: is the biggest question or concern that you have for

840
00:39:38,440 --> 00:39:42,200
Speaker 1: the Cowboys at this moment, facing this game this week,

841
00:39:42,239 --> 00:39:45,520
Speaker 1: the caveat is going to be outside of Ezekiel Elliott.

842
00:39:45,600 --> 00:39:47,600
Speaker 1: All right, so let's start first with you, Dave. You

843
00:39:47,640 --> 00:39:50,560
Speaker 1: give me yours, then Danny didnnick about the game, about

844
00:39:50,600 --> 00:39:53,200
Speaker 1: the game, about the week, about the preparation for the game,

845
00:39:53,400 --> 00:39:55,439
Speaker 1: everything leading to the game. What is the biggest question

846
00:39:55,520 --> 00:39:57,400
Speaker 1: or concerned you have for the Cowboys right now? I

847
00:39:57,440 --> 00:40:02,680
Speaker 1: guess just that you're arguably your second best offensive playmaker

848
00:40:02,719 --> 00:40:05,760
Speaker 1: has been mia since August third. Amari Cooper hasn't practiced

849
00:40:05,760 --> 00:40:09,399
Speaker 1: since August second. I believe Um and we give him

850
00:40:09,440 --> 00:40:11,560
Speaker 1: and rightfully so, we give him so much credit for

851
00:40:11,600 --> 00:40:13,840
Speaker 1: turning the offense around last year. He's a pro bowler.

852
00:40:13,920 --> 00:40:16,600
Speaker 1: He does this, he does that. Has not practiced. I

853
00:40:16,640 --> 00:40:19,320
Speaker 1: mean he practiced Monday, which was, you know, not a

854
00:40:19,360 --> 00:40:22,879
Speaker 1: training camp practice. So I think he'll be fine. But

855
00:40:23,680 --> 00:40:26,800
Speaker 1: it's something that I'm curious about because he didn't have

856
00:40:26,840 --> 00:40:29,120
Speaker 1: a training camp. Really, Danny, I don't think I'm gonna

857
00:40:29,120 --> 00:40:31,279
Speaker 1: say as much a concern, but maybe curiosity in the

858
00:40:31,280 --> 00:40:33,160
Speaker 1: red zone. If we know that with Kellum Moore they're

859
00:40:33,160 --> 00:40:35,160
Speaker 1: going to run, you know it's most likely going to

860
00:40:35,239 --> 00:40:38,000
Speaker 1: come from Zeke or Dak. Well, Zeke's not there. You

861
00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:40,000
Speaker 1: really just have Dak and defenses are going to plan

862
00:40:40,120 --> 00:40:41,440
Speaker 1: for that. So I think that'll be what I'm most

863
00:40:41,480 --> 00:40:44,040
Speaker 1: curious to see is how much change can we see

864
00:40:44,040 --> 00:40:46,080
Speaker 1: in the red zone this year where they really lacked

865
00:40:46,120 --> 00:40:49,120
Speaker 1: last year. Let's go, Nick, when you go third, you

866
00:40:49,120 --> 00:40:52,840
Speaker 1: get you know, the good ones taken away experience. I

867
00:40:52,960 --> 00:40:56,000
Speaker 1: was thinking both of those, you know, they're they're gonna

868
00:40:56,120 --> 00:40:58,680
Speaker 1: they're gonna kick the Giant's ass unless they turned the

869
00:40:58,680 --> 00:41:03,640
Speaker 1: ball over. They turn spicy. I'm just saying they're gonna

870
00:41:03,640 --> 00:41:06,799
Speaker 1: care that they are. They're they're gonna they tackle that

871
00:41:06,880 --> 00:41:09,880
Speaker 1: big old running back and don't go and don't do

872
00:41:09,920 --> 00:41:11,799
Speaker 1: stupid things and turn the ball over. But that they

873
00:41:11,800 --> 00:41:14,319
Speaker 1: should beat this team by seventeen points. So what's your

874
00:41:14,320 --> 00:41:17,560
Speaker 1: biggest concern turning the ball over? There you go, Brian,

875
00:41:17,600 --> 00:41:19,440
Speaker 1: That's that's what they need to do. When was the

876
00:41:19,520 --> 00:41:22,440
Speaker 1: last time the Cowboys beat the Giants by seventeen points?

877
00:41:22,480 --> 00:41:25,399
Speaker 1: I know, even especially even last I mean, they kicked

878
00:41:25,400 --> 00:41:27,640
Speaker 1: their ass last year, but the but the Giants backdoor

879
00:41:27,719 --> 00:41:31,520
Speaker 1: covered all day, so they beat them pretty bad in

880
00:41:31,560 --> 00:41:35,880
Speaker 1: twenty fourteen the first time, not the Odell game, but

881
00:41:35,920 --> 00:41:38,960
Speaker 1: the one before that, but you're at New York. You're right,

882
00:41:39,000 --> 00:41:41,239
Speaker 1: they play, Oh, you're right, you're right, You're right. They

883
00:41:41,239 --> 00:41:44,319
Speaker 1: beat them pretty bad in seventeen. Okay, sorry, I don't

884
00:41:44,400 --> 00:41:46,759
Speaker 1: see I don't even those games run together. You told

885
00:41:46,760 --> 00:41:48,600
Speaker 1: me nineteen eighty seven. I can tell you exactly what

886
00:41:48,600 --> 00:41:52,839
Speaker 1: happened about twenty seventeen. What was the rod Smith eighty five?

887
00:41:53,520 --> 00:41:55,960
Speaker 1: That was a close game in the fourth quarter and

888
00:41:55,960 --> 00:41:59,920
Speaker 1: then rod Smith just said watch this so speaking Bay

889
00:42:00,160 --> 00:42:01,959
Speaker 1: with the New York Giants, and he's actually on IR

890
00:42:02,040 --> 00:42:04,560
Speaker 1: though I'm not going to play. I'm bummed out about that.

891
00:42:04,600 --> 00:42:08,480
Speaker 1: I was injury, you know, yeah, like it's like a

892
00:42:08,480 --> 00:42:12,759
Speaker 1: packer absur so I was hoping to see him this week. Yeah,

893
00:42:12,760 --> 00:42:14,560
Speaker 1: I mean too. Of course, he probably wouldn't gonna be

894
00:42:14,560 --> 00:42:16,480
Speaker 1: in the game very much with sa Quan out there,

895
00:42:16,480 --> 00:42:18,640
Speaker 1: But yeah, you know, I don't I mean, I don't

896
00:42:18,680 --> 00:42:20,399
Speaker 1: have a lot of concerns. I think the injured guys

897
00:42:20,400 --> 00:42:23,279
Speaker 1: are gonna gonna play and play well, and I'm with

898
00:42:23,440 --> 00:42:25,880
Speaker 1: I agree with you. I'm not as willing to talk

899
00:42:25,920 --> 00:42:28,200
Speaker 1: that plainly as you, but like they should win this

900
00:42:28,280 --> 00:42:31,160
Speaker 1: game comfortably if they just don't completely crap the bed

901
00:42:31,280 --> 00:42:33,839
Speaker 1: str I almost want with kicking. I mean, you know,

902
00:42:34,120 --> 00:42:37,279
Speaker 1: unless it's fifty yards out. But I just I don't

903
00:42:37,280 --> 00:42:40,239
Speaker 1: know that I feel necessarily so confident, right, I mean,

904
00:42:40,280 --> 00:42:42,200
Speaker 1: like the further the better from our heart. But I

905
00:42:42,239 --> 00:42:45,359
Speaker 1: just but I don't think you ever will I mean

906
00:42:45,680 --> 00:42:48,400
Speaker 1: you hope not. I don't think you're ever gonna be

907
00:42:48,480 --> 00:42:52,320
Speaker 1: just like comfortable. Who's comfortable with their kicker like balt

908
00:42:52,440 --> 00:42:58,200
Speaker 1: Ravens he misses not often. But I'm just saying, for

909
00:42:58,239 --> 00:43:01,319
Speaker 1: the most part, I would say twenty five teams are

910
00:43:01,400 --> 00:43:03,960
