1 00:00:05,920 --> 00:00:08,080 Speaker 1: The following He is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot 2 00:00:08,080 --> 00:00:16,080 Speaker 1: Com and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club Cowboys. This is 3 00:00:16,120 --> 00:00:20,119 Speaker 1: these Cowboys Storylines with Nick Eatman. 4 00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:27,440 Speaker 2: What's up everyone, I am Nick Eatman and this is 5 00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:32,960 Speaker 2: another edition of Cowboys Storyline, episode number three. We're so 6 00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:37,120 Speaker 2: excited to finally get here, to have the pads come on. 7 00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:39,800 Speaker 2: You know, depends on who you ask. Is this the 8 00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:41,640 Speaker 2: first day of practice? I mean I think it's the 9 00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:43,599 Speaker 2: first day. Was the first time we actually got to 10 00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:46,520 Speaker 2: go out there and see them throw the ball around. 11 00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:49,440 Speaker 2: But you ask others. Some people even got here today, 12 00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:54,160 Speaker 2: Nate Newton just because Isaiah Stanbak, just because they want 13 00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:56,160 Speaker 2: to see it with the pads go on. Because this 14 00:00:56,360 --> 00:00:58,720 Speaker 2: is football, or at least the closest thing to it, 15 00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:03,000 Speaker 2: and I don't disagree with that. So today, Monday morning's 16 00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:05,319 Speaker 2: practice out here at Augnard got to see the pads 17 00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:08,600 Speaker 2: come on. It was very physical. Let me let me 18 00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:11,840 Speaker 2: rephrase that. Who's physical wasn't very physical? I mean there 19 00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:14,600 Speaker 2: wasn't guys getting You know, it's not the movie the 20 00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:18,160 Speaker 2: program you know where they they're out there doing Oklahoma 21 00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:21,039 Speaker 2: drill and it's not that you know, they still you're 22 00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:23,959 Speaker 2: trying to be cautious with things, but still pretty pretty chippy. 23 00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:27,480 Speaker 2: Had almost had a couple of fights there. Got to 24 00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:30,800 Speaker 2: really see the offensive line defensive line, those guys mix 25 00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:34,000 Speaker 2: it up. Maybe it was a little too physical. We 26 00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:37,920 Speaker 2: did have another injury in the middle of practice. Not 27 00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:39,440 Speaker 2: sure how serious it is. 28 00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:40,000 Speaker 3: Uh. 29 00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:42,920 Speaker 2: Sam Williams left practice so with a it looks like 30 00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:47,360 Speaker 2: a shoulder injury. The word right now is that it 31 00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:49,760 Speaker 2: doesn't seem to be that serious. Doesn't mean he's going 32 00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:51,640 Speaker 2: to be back to practice tomorrow, because you know this 33 00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:55,560 Speaker 2: is the time to always be be overly cautious. So 34 00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:58,640 Speaker 2: I I do think that that he's going to be fine. 35 00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:01,920 Speaker 2: And it's at a position too, where there is a 36 00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:04,440 Speaker 2: lot of depth, because I did see Dante Fowler making 37 00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:05,680 Speaker 2: a lot of plays and then the guy on the 38 00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:09,760 Speaker 2: other side, eleven. He's pretty good. I mean, he's he's 39 00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:12,600 Speaker 2: really good. Micah Parsons today was just as good as 40 00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:15,200 Speaker 2: we've seen before. There's a lot of times where Dak 41 00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:17,600 Speaker 2: is running around and moving in the pocket and stepping 42 00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:20,120 Speaker 2: up and making throws and Mike is just sitting there 43 00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:22,760 Speaker 2: like I sacked you three seconds ago, Like it would 44 00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:25,160 Speaker 2: have been a sack. I'm trying to be a team player. 45 00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:29,320 Speaker 2: I'm trying not to hurt the franchise quarterback. It doesn't 46 00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:32,120 Speaker 2: matter who the left tackle is either tiring, I've seen, 47 00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:37,960 Speaker 2: well let's go. He goes to the other side, steal edoga, 48 00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:41,160 Speaker 2: which idoga gives up a little bit more than some 49 00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:43,959 Speaker 2: of the others. I still think he's a guard. Whatever. 50 00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:46,120 Speaker 2: What do I know. I don't coach all line, but 51 00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:50,200 Speaker 2: mikeah Parsons is good, so they ye have it. I'm 52 00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:53,600 Speaker 2: breaking news here on It's what we do on Cowboy storyline. No, 53 00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:56,920 Speaker 2: but I he was good. Let's talk about some others, 54 00:02:57,320 --> 00:03:01,079 Speaker 2: the receivers. When Dak was throwing the getting it out there, 55 00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:03,960 Speaker 2: I think this was a day for the little guys. 56 00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:08,640 Speaker 2: I think this is this is short stack day. Cavante 57 00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:12,320 Speaker 2: Turpin was making some catches out there, Brandon Cooks continues 58 00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:14,799 Speaker 2: to make plays down the field over the middle. Whatever. 59 00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:19,680 Speaker 2: He's not that short as Ash Turpid and obviously induced. 60 00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:22,239 Speaker 2: But you know he's not not gonna play in the 61 00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:24,919 Speaker 2: NBA or anything like that. I mean he might he 62 00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:30,840 Speaker 2: probably could, but Deuce Fawn again, they're not hitting the 63 00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:32,800 Speaker 2: backs to get it. But you can tell you can 64 00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:34,920 Speaker 2: tell the difference between the guys that hit the hole 65 00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:39,240 Speaker 2: and get through it quickly. They can't find him. I 66 00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:44,320 Speaker 2: mean seriously, sometimes being his size can help him, and 67 00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:47,520 Speaker 2: I think getting through the line, he's gonna have some 68 00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:50,360 Speaker 2: moments now when if he does get hit, he's probably 69 00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:53,000 Speaker 2: gonna lose some battles there. But he's got more toughest 70 00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:55,280 Speaker 2: obviously than you think. I mean, you know, when I 71 00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:58,680 Speaker 2: look at Dues and we're playing on having him on 72 00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:01,080 Speaker 2: on the show. Were hoping to get him on today, 73 00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:02,760 Speaker 2: it didn't work out. Maybe later in the week, we 74 00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:06,120 Speaker 2: are gonna get Jake Ferguson. Really excited about that. Certainly 75 00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:08,600 Speaker 2: not a consolation prize that the plan was to get Deuced, 76 00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:11,120 Speaker 2: But but we're gonna get Jake Ferguson and he's gonna 77 00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:13,240 Speaker 2: be great. We're gonna have some fun with that. But 78 00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:14,960 Speaker 2: going back to Deuce, he had a couple of plays 79 00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:19,599 Speaker 2: that they really really intriguing. I you know, somebody said 80 00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:22,560 Speaker 2: we were on the sideline and somebody said they just 81 00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:25,560 Speaker 2: can't keep two short guys, right, You're talking about Turpin 82 00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:29,320 Speaker 2: and Deuce, And I'm like, look at the Dolphins roster. 83 00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:32,520 Speaker 2: I mean, don't they have about five guys that are, 84 00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:34,880 Speaker 2: you know, under six foot and and I looked at 85 00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:36,760 Speaker 2: the schedule and the Celtics aren't on it, so I mean, 86 00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:38,680 Speaker 2: we're not worried about playing those kind of the guys. 87 00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:40,320 Speaker 2: I mean, you can have little guys out there, so 88 00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:42,680 Speaker 2: if they can be playmakers, that's who you need. That's 89 00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:44,720 Speaker 2: why you didn't win against San Francisco other than the 90 00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:49,119 Speaker 2: kicker couldn't make anything is you didn't have playmakers. Once 91 00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:51,680 Speaker 2: Pollard got hurt, it was just CD. They knew it 92 00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:54,280 Speaker 2: was just CD and he couldn't do anything about it. 93 00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:57,000 Speaker 2: You gotta have some playmakers, so it doesn't matter how 94 00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:59,360 Speaker 2: tall they are, short, they are whatever. You need those 95 00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:01,840 Speaker 2: guys to do that. Another receiver that made some plays, 96 00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:04,640 Speaker 2: Jalen Brooks, really really good. We'll talk about him later 97 00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:07,000 Speaker 2: on some of the questions, but Jalen Brooks had had 98 00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:09,680 Speaker 2: a really good day. I thought Dak did a good 99 00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:12,880 Speaker 2: job moving around laterally making some throws down the field. 100 00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:14,720 Speaker 2: I guess he had an interception. I'm sure it's all 101 00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:17,320 Speaker 2: over social media. He had an interception to Malee Cooker. 102 00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:20,640 Speaker 2: He made some other really nice plays as well. So 103 00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:23,760 Speaker 2: excited about kind of what we saw there the Pats 104 00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:27,440 Speaker 2: came on and they also did kicking today. Not bad, 105 00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:30,240 Speaker 2: not bad. Again, I say it a thousand times. I mean, 106 00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:33,760 Speaker 2: nothing's gonna get settled out here. But but I thought 107 00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:36,400 Speaker 2: Brandon Aubrey did a nice job. I think he made 108 00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:40,760 Speaker 2: six of seven I think of his kicks, and Vistuyno 109 00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:44,280 Speaker 2: was five of seven. They had the Mojo moment, you 110 00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:46,240 Speaker 2: know where they make a big deal. They stopped the 111 00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:49,520 Speaker 2: music and and you know it's called the Mojo moment, 112 00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:52,240 Speaker 2: all the teams watching, and they had six kicks, each 113 00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:55,400 Speaker 2: of them had three. They moved it back. I was 114 00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:57,800 Speaker 2: on the wrong side of the field. I'm guessing about 115 00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:01,240 Speaker 2: thirty five forty forty five, five yards something like that. 116 00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:04,400 Speaker 2: Nothing too short, nothing too far, and they made them all. 117 00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:07,600 Speaker 2: So that was good. That was good. So again, this 118 00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:10,359 Speaker 2: is a good opportunity for these guys to get some 119 00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:13,160 Speaker 2: kicks and then you'll see how it translates over into 120 00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:15,560 Speaker 2: the preseason games as well. And don't rule out the 121 00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:19,520 Speaker 2: kickoff part of this as well. Kicking off could be 122 00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:23,760 Speaker 2: a tiebreaker to any kicker. You can't have it, you know. Now, 123 00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:25,400 Speaker 2: of course, things can change a little bit with the 124 00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:27,960 Speaker 2: rule well fair catch but you need to blast it 125 00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:30,839 Speaker 2: out of the end zone. And so sometimes we'd always 126 00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:33,520 Speaker 2: talk about field goals extra points, but the tiebreakers could 127 00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:36,040 Speaker 2: be how a guy kicks off as well. All right, 128 00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:38,520 Speaker 2: we're just getting kicked off here on the first segment 129 00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:40,760 Speaker 2: of Cowboys storyline. When we come back, we're gonna get 130 00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:42,920 Speaker 2: Jake Ferguson over here and get a mic and get 131 00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:45,640 Speaker 2: a chair for him. Jake Ferguson over here, see what 132 00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:48,799 Speaker 2: he has to say. Be right back on Cowboys Storyline. 133 00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:54,000 Speaker 3: I'm Duk Prescott, quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys.

I mean, I 187 00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:44,240 Speaker 7: know everybody on both sides of the ball front seven. 188 00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:46,880 Speaker 7: We're ready to get I mean, ready to get in 189 00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:48,720 Speaker 7: the pads. No one likes blocking when it's just a 190 00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:51,360 Speaker 7: T shirt that doesn't really show football, that doesn't show 191 00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:53,760 Speaker 7: the trenches like they like they are in games. And 192 00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:55,839 Speaker 7: I think today just kind of the energy that you 193 00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:59,280 Speaker 7: saw today was just hey, we're back at it, you 194 00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:01,000 Speaker 7: know what I mean, It's time to go where we're 195 00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:01,839 Speaker 7: playing football game. 196 00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:05,280 Speaker 2: You said something at an interview yesterday. I think you 197 00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:09,120 Speaker 2: said the big biscuits. Nobody wants to block like the 198 00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:11,640 Speaker 2: big Biscuits, like us, like Big ten. You're talking about 199 00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:15,160 Speaker 2: Big ten tight ends and all that. Expand on that 200 00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:17,160 Speaker 2: a little bit more that you guys think because the 201 00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:19,800 Speaker 2: conference you're coming from it's a little bit different than 202 00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:20,160 Speaker 2: the rest. 203 00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:22,800 Speaker 8: Thank you. Yeah, yeah, I mean I got that. 204 00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:26,640 Speaker 7: Someone gave me that nickname recently, a big Biscuit, so 205 00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:28,200 Speaker 7: I was like, I gonna roll with it, and then 206 00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:29,440 Speaker 7: it just took me to Big ten. 207 00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:32,240 Speaker 8: All the tight ends coming out everybody in the room. 208 00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:34,200 Speaker 2: So are you the big biscuit? Are you blocking the 209 00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:35,320 Speaker 2: big guys up front? 210 00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:37,560 Speaker 7: I think everybody in the front seven is considered a 211 00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:41,400 Speaker 7: big biscuit, but the big like Yeah, like big Hank, 212 00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:44,080 Speaker 7: He's he's a big biscuit, you know what I mean. 213 00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:47,520 Speaker 2: I have seen I've seen some plays. It seems like 214 00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:50,120 Speaker 2: a little bit different than last year, where the tight 215 00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:53,880 Speaker 2: ends and the tackles are on the move and trap blocking, 216 00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:56,760 Speaker 2: and which means sometimes you're gonna be hitting guys. You're 217 00:10:56,760 --> 00:10:57,840 Speaker 2: gonna be hitting those tackles. 218 00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:00,600 Speaker 7: You're gonna be hitting those Oh yeah, I mean yeah. 219 00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:03,440 Speaker 7: Dub came in this year and was like, Hey, we're 220 00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:05,280 Speaker 7: in the trenches. We're gonna be blocking the big fellows 221 00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:08,079 Speaker 7: this year. And I mean, at that point, it's a mindset. 222 00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:10,280 Speaker 7: Everybody in this room can do it. It's just kind 223 00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:12,760 Speaker 7: of getting over that hump where throw your nose in 224 00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:13,840 Speaker 7: there and get after it. 225 00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:16,240 Speaker 2: Well, speaking of that, have you been told of the 226 00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:20,120 Speaker 2: Jason Witten wham the nose story? Jason will basically, I'll 227 00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:22,600 Speaker 2: give you the short version. Jason Garrett was talking about 228 00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:24,640 Speaker 2: how the tight end cuts in and it's just supposed 229 00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:26,960 Speaker 2: to just you know, seal off the deep nose tackle 230 00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:29,080 Speaker 2: and and but he didn't ask Whitten to do it 231 00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:31,200 Speaker 2: in practice, and so he got upset about it, like 232 00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:33,600 Speaker 2: why can't wham the nose? And you know, here's your 233 00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:35,840 Speaker 2: all pro tight end. You're like, well, you don't need 234 00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:38,720 Speaker 2: he wouldn't stop. He was like finally like fine, go ahead, 235 00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:41,200 Speaker 2: you know, do it. So that's to me the example 236 00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:43,600 Speaker 2: of the mindset of like complete tight end. I'm gonna 237 00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:45,079 Speaker 2: make catches down the field, but I also want to 238 00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:45,400 Speaker 2: mix it. 239 00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:47,559 Speaker 8: Up for sure. I mean, yeah, it starts in the trenches. 240 00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:53,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, Luke Scoonmaker is out with with the foot injury, 241 00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:56,800 Speaker 2: and so then again, even if he wasn't, who knows 242 00:11:56,840 --> 00:11:58,920 Speaker 2: what the tid end situation looks like. The starters and 243 00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:02,040 Speaker 2: all that. How do you guys prepare for that each day? 244 00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:02,320 Speaker 5: Is it? 245 00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:02,600 Speaker 6: Are you? 246 00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:04,920 Speaker 2: Are you focused on the starters, the ones, the twos 247 00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:05,319 Speaker 2: and threes? 248 00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:09,560 Speaker 8: No, I mean, honestly, not at all. It's really and 249 00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:10,199 Speaker 8: I think L. 250 00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:13,040 Speaker 7: Dub kind of sums it up really well that we 251 00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:14,760 Speaker 7: have one of the best groups we've had top to 252 00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:18,559 Speaker 7: bottom and everybody can play, and it's it's about when 253 00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:20,679 Speaker 7: your numbers called, when you're in, when you get that rep, 254 00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:22,400 Speaker 7: you got to I mean, you got to show everything 255 00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:22,640 Speaker 7: you got. 256 00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:23,440 Speaker 8: You got to win that rep. 257 00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:25,560 Speaker 7: It's all about winning rep and winning reps and that 258 00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:26,360 Speaker 7: wins this games. 259 00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:30,800 Speaker 2: L dub being lunda wells tight ends coach, and he's 260 00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:33,040 Speaker 2: easily one of our favorites too. Just he just seems 261 00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:34,000 Speaker 2: like he just keeps it real. 262 00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:34,720 Speaker 8: He's really honout. 263 00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:37,440 Speaker 2: I know you guys love playing for him. Do you 264 00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:39,840 Speaker 2: I have to ask, do you have I should know this. 265 00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:41,040 Speaker 2: Do you have brothers? I do? 266 00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:41,840 Speaker 8: I have an older brother. 267 00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:42,560 Speaker 2: Okay, how old? 268 00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:43,160 Speaker 8: Four years old? 269 00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:46,640 Speaker 2: Four years so competition wise, you were probably always trying 270 00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:48,400 Speaker 2: to catch up to him and do all that when 271 00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:48,959 Speaker 2: you were younger. 272 00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:50,520 Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean yeah, all the time. 273 00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:53,679 Speaker 7: We would we play football in the basement, tackle football, 274 00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:56,360 Speaker 7: and he was obviously way taller, being four years older 275 00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:57,960 Speaker 7: than me, so he'd be like, all right, I'll play 276 00:12:57,960 --> 00:12:59,720 Speaker 7: on my knees and he'd still throw my head through 277 00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:03,360 Speaker 7: the wall. I mean wow, never never won those games. 278 00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:05,920 Speaker 7: But then yeah, I'm about five inches taller than I'm 279 00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:06,719 Speaker 7: now you passed him. 280 00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:07,000 Speaker 8: Okay. 281 00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:10,200 Speaker 2: The reason why I ask you that is the tight 282 00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:13,280 Speaker 2: end room seems really really close. You guys are competing 283 00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:16,560 Speaker 2: against each other. You want Peyton Hendershot to make plays, 284 00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:18,080 Speaker 2: but you also want to be better than him at 285 00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:22,520 Speaker 2: the same time. Is it seems like a brother type mentality? 286 00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:24,400 Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean you could definitely say that. 287 00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:27,720 Speaker 7: Uh, we always picture the tight ends as a brotherhood. 288 00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:31,160 Speaker 7: I mean very rarely do you find a tight end 289 00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:34,439 Speaker 7: that just isn't a good dude. And so, I mean 290 00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:37,320 Speaker 7: competing against each other makes each other better. But also 291 00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:39,000 Speaker 7: at the same time, you got to support your group 292 00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:40,480 Speaker 7: because at the end of the day, we're gonna be 293 00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:41,160 Speaker 7: on the field together. 294 00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:45,600 Speaker 2: What did you learn last year from Dalton Schultz as 295 00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:48,480 Speaker 2: a veteran and then obviously you know understand the business 296 00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:51,800 Speaker 2: side of things as well. What did you learn from him? 297 00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:53,560 Speaker 2: And when when he left, did you say, all right, 298 00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:56,200 Speaker 2: this is a great opportunity for all of us to come. 299 00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:57,720 Speaker 2: There's more snaps, there's more reps. 300 00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:01,000 Speaker 7: Yeah, I think I think Dalton was truly a VET 301 00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:03,959 Speaker 7: and I mean he showed it everywhere, whether it was 302 00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:08,160 Speaker 7: the weight room, mobility, stretch, recovery, or even on the field. 303 00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:11,240 Speaker 7: Here was the definition of Hey, this is what you 304 00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:12,800 Speaker 7: want to come in and watch this guy go to 305 00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:14,680 Speaker 7: work at everything that he's doing. 306 00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:15,920 Speaker 8: You can see it through his work. 307 00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:18,560 Speaker 7: And I mean he had a lot of product and 308 00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:21,040 Speaker 7: then now this year it's hey, we need to replicate 309 00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:22,440 Speaker 7: that same product or better. 310 00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:26,160 Speaker 2: I think I got this show has a lot of 311 00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:30,480 Speaker 2: fan questions.

Last night, 336 00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:34,360 Speaker 7: I was out here, did a couple of laps and 337 00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:36,320 Speaker 7: just I mean, not only is it good physically to 338 00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:38,000 Speaker 7: just get your body moving and not lay around, but 339 00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:38,360 Speaker 7: I mean. 340 00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:39,360 Speaker 8: For the mental part of the things too. 341 00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:41,440 Speaker 2: So you went on that trip with the offense with 342 00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:44,040 Speaker 2: Dak and them, right, so you just drink water? 343 00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:45,720 Speaker 8: Yeah? I did. 344 00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:49,560 Speaker 2: Okay, Yeah, I'm going to ask you about DAK in 345 00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:53,520 Speaker 2: the offense, the weapons you guys have added there, obviously 346 00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:56,200 Speaker 2: with with Brandon Cooks, who seems like he is taking 347 00:15:56,320 --> 00:16:00,000 Speaker 2: some other younger receivers under his wing. But how good 348 00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:02,080 Speaker 2: do you think this offense has a chance to be? 349 00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:05,000 Speaker 7: I think it has. I mean, our destiny is in 350 00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:09,360 Speaker 7: our hands, and I think we're the ones who are 351 00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:11,560 Speaker 7: going to decide how good we are as an offense, 352 00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:14,760 Speaker 7: as a group position groups. I mean, I think there's 353 00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:17,720 Speaker 7: a great connection this year, not just inside position groups, 354 00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:19,520 Speaker 7: but as offense as a whole, and I think that's 355 00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:21,560 Speaker 7: that's ultimately going to take us to the next level. 356 00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:22,640 Speaker 8: But it is on our hands. 357 00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:26,840 Speaker 2: Awesome real quick, and I'm almost done here. So if 358 00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:29,320 Speaker 2: you met somebody, just met some guy for the first 359 00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:31,240 Speaker 2: time and he was really funny and telling a bunch 360 00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:33,760 Speaker 2: of jokes. The next couple of times you meet him, 361 00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:37,080 Speaker 2: you probably expect him to, you know, be even funnier. 362 00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:41,760 Speaker 2: Right Going with this is so you guys were very 363 00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:46,520 Speaker 2: creative when your touchdown celebrations as rookies. Yeah, the bar 364 00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:48,480 Speaker 2: has been set, Like now you got to take it 365 00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:51,480 Speaker 2: to a So is where does that come come up from? 366 00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:55,240 Speaker 2: I mean, is it here in a training camp? Is 367 00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:56,880 Speaker 2: it just like spur of the moment? Is it the 368 00:16:56,960 --> 00:16:57,520 Speaker 2: night before? 369 00:16:57,680 --> 00:17:01,040 Speaker 8: A lot of it's spur of the moment. Now I'm 370 00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:02,480 Speaker 8: not talking like, hey, this. 371 00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:05,600 Speaker 7: Drive if we score the game before, yeah, or the 372 00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:07,679 Speaker 7: a couple of days before or so, or the week before. 373 00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:11,160 Speaker 7: I've definitely got a couple on my mind right now, 374 00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:12,040 Speaker 7: that would be pretty good. 375 00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:12,800 Speaker 8: Uh. 376 00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:17,359 Speaker 7: A lot of the trouble is seen, like sometimes I 377 00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:19,520 Speaker 7: want all eleven guys to do it right. 378 00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:20,879 Speaker 8: The hard part is getting. 379 00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:23,560 Speaker 7: Tiring to want to buy into it because it might 380 00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:24,479 Speaker 7: be a little goofy. 381 00:17:24,600 --> 00:17:26,159 Speaker 8: But yeah, we'll see what happens. 382 00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:28,639 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's that's funny. And also you guys have to 383 00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:30,679 Speaker 2: as the tight ends. You kind of like need to 384 00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:32,639 Speaker 2: be out there like in the formation as well, like 385 00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:36,320 Speaker 2: everybody there So I've always wondered that how many touchdown 386 00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:38,959 Speaker 2: celebrations like the night before in a hotel where they 387 00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:40,879 Speaker 2: move the bed around and we're gonna do this in 388 00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:43,680 Speaker 2: this and they never come out because they didn't score. 389 00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:45,920 Speaker 8: You know, we had you got some of those. 390 00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:49,000 Speaker 7: We had four probably last year that were just instant classics, 391 00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:51,199 Speaker 7: but then didn't just never popped up. 392 00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:54,080 Speaker 8: Yeah, I might come up this year.

We got one more segment here. 440 00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:25,639 Speaker 2: We appreciate Jake Ferguson join us. He's always a lot 441 00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:28,000 Speaker 2: of fun. You know, those guys are fun when you 442 00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:31,040 Speaker 2: just see like like we talked about with the celebrations 443 00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:33,439 Speaker 2: and all that, but still it's more than that. I mean, 444 00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:35,840 Speaker 2: you can tell how serious he is about his craft 445 00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:38,680 Speaker 2: and how wanting to be better and that opportunity that's 446 00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:41,000 Speaker 2: there and and and honestly, he's the guy that I think, 447 00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:42,880 Speaker 2: at the end of the day, he's gonna be the guy. 448 00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:45,560 Speaker 2: I think that that that plays the most because I 449 00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:48,880 Speaker 2: think he's he's the most complete of the tight ends, 450 00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:52,920 Speaker 2: and I just don't see anyone right now kind of 451 00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:56,880 Speaker 2: un unseating him to be the guy. So let's get 452 00:20:56,880 --> 00:20:59,600 Speaker 2: to the questions. And and I have to admit I 453 00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:03,479 Speaker 2: didn't have my paper ready when I just got it. 454 00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:06,560 Speaker 2: I didn't have it ready when I was interviewing him. 455 00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:08,960 Speaker 2: So I got a question from Carolyn Williams wanted me 456 00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:12,119 Speaker 2: to ask you, Jake, not including Hendershot, which tied and 457 00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:15,399 Speaker 2: has seen the largest growth. I think he would have said, 458 00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:18,399 Speaker 2: I really don't know, Honestly, I'm not sure who he 459 00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:21,320 Speaker 2: would have said. Maybe one of those rookies, John Stevens, 460 00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:25,119 Speaker 2: Noah fant those guys. But you know, I know Linda 461 00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:27,280 Speaker 2: Wells is a really good coach, and so you know 462 00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:29,480 Speaker 2: they'll they'll he'll get these guys ready to go, just 463 00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:33,439 Speaker 2: like he did with Ferguson and Hindershot. Another question, I 464 00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:35,960 Speaker 2: tried to get the question from the aspiring journalist that 465 00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:38,399 Speaker 2: had two, which is smart. That's how you're gonna be 466 00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:40,199 Speaker 2: a good journalist because you already know how to do 467 00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:44,359 Speaker 2: the double question in there. It's nice. He asked. The 468 00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:46,639 Speaker 2: question to me was which player are you most interested 469 00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:53,800 Speaker 2: seeing if they will be flexed? Leyton, vander Rosh or Overshown. Well, 470 00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:56,720 Speaker 2: Overshown's actually right over here, So I'm gonna say Overshrown 471 00:21:56,760 --> 00:21:58,879 Speaker 2: because he's like here and his family's here and all that. No, 472 00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:01,960 Speaker 2: but both of them are going to be the position 473 00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:05,119 Speaker 2: flex that they are going to give. What I think 474 00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:09,199 Speaker 2: Overshown brings to this defense can take them to another 475 00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:12,359 Speaker 2: level because of his versatility, his willingness to play a 476 00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:15,520 Speaker 2: lot of positions, very very smart coming into the door. Like, 477 00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:19,000 Speaker 2: there's so many good things about him that it's going 478 00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:22,240 Speaker 2: to help the guys around them. So I think it's 479 00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:26,080 Speaker 2: not an either or it's a both situation there. All right, 480 00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:28,840 Speaker 2: let's get down the line here. Jose Rodriguez have the 481 00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:31,119 Speaker 2: tight ends among themselves discussed who they think will be 482 00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:33,639 Speaker 2: tight in one, two, three, four and so on. We 483 00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:36,040 Speaker 2: sort of talked about that to Jake. I don't think 484 00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:39,840 Speaker 2: they're in that mode of worrying about that to themselves maybe, 485 00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:42,479 Speaker 2: but right now they don't really talk about all right, 486 00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:47,119 Speaker 2: Nathan Ross, he's a long time guy, he's been out here, 487 00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:49,560 Speaker 2: he lives out here in California. He's been out to 488 00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:51,560 Speaker 2: Aux Star. He was out this year as well. So 489 00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:53,760 Speaker 2: what's up to Nathan Ross? He said, Nick, is this 490 00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:55,399 Speaker 2: is really our best option when it comes to the 491 00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:59,760 Speaker 2: field goal kicker, isn't they're better out there on the market. Yes, 492 00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:03,920 Speaker 2: there are better kickers out there right now, more expensive too, 493 00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:06,440 Speaker 2: but they are better kickers. But that's not what they're 494 00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:08,960 Speaker 2: looking for right now. What they want to see is 495 00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:12,680 Speaker 2: if Brandon Aubrey, Tristavis guy. You know, they want to 496 00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:14,840 Speaker 2: see if these guys can be the kicker. And I 497 00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:16,840 Speaker 2: don't know if you can see it out here. It's 498 00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:18,680 Speaker 2: a tough place to kick. We talked about it last 499 00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:21,520 Speaker 2: week and I think you're going to see it in games. 500 00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:24,720 Speaker 2: There's always gonna be a veteran kicker that's available, and 501 00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:26,760 Speaker 2: so you just have to go there. If it's time 502 00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:28,600 Speaker 2: to go there, that's what you do. But I don't 503 00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:31,240 Speaker 2: think they're ready to do that right now. Why should 504 00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:32,719 Speaker 2: they be. They want to see if these guys can 505 00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:37,359 Speaker 2: can make it happen. So we'll see, all right. Joe Simpson, 506 00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:40,479 Speaker 2: he said, Hey, Nick, longtime listener here After Jerry's comments 507 00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:42,920 Speaker 2: about Zach Martin, where's your level of concern about whether 508 00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:45,800 Speaker 2: he will start the season with the team. We talked 509 00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:48,480 Speaker 2: about Zach in the first segment and then Jerry's comments, 510 00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:51,879 Speaker 2: and I'm pretty alarming. But the concern about whether he 511 00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:54,680 Speaker 2: will start with the season, you mean the regular season. No, 512 00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:58,200 Speaker 2: he's gonna play. I mean fifty thousand dollars frides they 513 00:23:58,240 --> 00:24:01,760 Speaker 2: add up. But start missing game checks. You know your 514 00:24:01,800 --> 00:24:03,960 Speaker 2: salary is divided by one to eighteenth. I mean that 515 00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:07,159 Speaker 2: is your salary. You start missing that, that's what it's. 516 00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:09,880 Speaker 2: That's what's a real holdout. Mickey Spegnel used to say 517 00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:12,320 Speaker 2: this all the time, and I believe him. Mickey says 518 00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:14,399 Speaker 2: he's first. I remember he was the first one to 519 00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:16,640 Speaker 2: tell me. It's not a real holdout unless you miss 520 00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:19,240 Speaker 2: a game check. So that's what I I don't see 521 00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:21,119 Speaker 2: that happening. I don't see that happened with z So, 522 00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:25,359 Speaker 2: as I said last week, he might be concerned the team, 523 00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:28,119 Speaker 2: the offensive line, the chemistry, but as a fan, you 524 00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:30,680 Speaker 2: shouldn't be concerned. He'll get here, as Jerry says, when 525 00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:34,920 Speaker 2: he gets here, all right, DJ from lawyer up three, 526 00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:37,119 Speaker 2: he's a lawyer out here in California. He says, Dalvin 527 00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:40,159 Speaker 2: Cook not an option because of his price tag or 528 00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:45,040 Speaker 2: the scheme. I'm not sure it's either one. Honestly. I mean, 529 00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:47,520 Speaker 2: can they go could they go sign him? Yeah? They 530 00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:49,919 Speaker 2: could sign Dalvin Cook they needed to right now. They 531 00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:54,040 Speaker 2: could bring him in scheme wise, what I mean, big 532 00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:56,040 Speaker 2: running back that catch the ball out of the backfield, 533 00:24:56,080 --> 00:24:59,399 Speaker 2: like yeah, that you can fit a scheme around him. 534 00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:06,000 Speaker 2: Think it's a it's it's injury, durability, age, progress stopper, 535 00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:08,800 Speaker 2: all of that. And it's not just the Cowboys, it's 536 00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:12,280 Speaker 2: all the other teams. So you know, same with kicker. 537 00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:15,080 Speaker 2: If a team decides they need later on to get 538 00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:18,760 Speaker 2: the guy, they'll go that route. I wouldn't imagine it 539 00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:23,360 Speaker 2: happens here though. Mike Gray, another Old Time listener from 540 00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:25,840 Speaker 2: a Popka, Florida, He said, I have not heard much 541 00:25:25,840 --> 00:25:27,760 Speaker 2: about Damon Clark. Do you think he will make a 542 00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:32,000 Speaker 2: big leap this season in year two? I do. I 543 00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:35,560 Speaker 2: think the linebacker position, I think the guys that that 544 00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:38,560 Speaker 2: we that we've talked about before just now with Overshown 545 00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:41,200 Speaker 2: and Layton, I think Clark has a chance to really 546 00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:42,920 Speaker 2: make that that next leap. We didn't think he was 547 00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:45,320 Speaker 2: gonna play last year and and he not only did 548 00:25:45,359 --> 00:25:47,240 Speaker 2: he play, but he played and he played pretty well, 549 00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:50,000 Speaker 2: especially for a rookie that coming off an injury like that. 550 00:25:50,280 --> 00:25:53,080 Speaker 2: So I think he will do Uh, he'll be just fine. 551 00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:55,359 Speaker 2: I think he's gonna be a guy that's gonna help 552 00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:58,680 Speaker 2: love his attitude, business like approach all the way for 553 00:25:58,800 --> 00:26:02,800 Speaker 2: Damone Clark. All right, Matt Sports Matt twelve. He says, 554 00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:05,199 Speaker 2: I know it's still early, but a roster surprise that 555 00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:11,160 Speaker 2: can happen that wouldn't completely shock you. I just think 556 00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:15,880 Speaker 2: the defensive tackle position is going going to be It's 557 00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:17,920 Speaker 2: gonna shake out in a way where you're gonna see 558 00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:20,840 Speaker 2: some good players that are released. They're gonna have to 559 00:26:20,880 --> 00:26:24,000 Speaker 2: cut draft picks. I don't know who, but I just 560 00:26:24,320 --> 00:26:29,320 Speaker 2: there's not room for Quintin Bohanna and Neville Gallimore and 561 00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:32,960 Speaker 2: Chauncey Golston and all of them. I'm not saying they're 562 00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:34,359 Speaker 2: neither one of those is gonna get cut, but I 563 00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:36,119 Speaker 2: don't see how they all make the team. Those are 564 00:26:36,119 --> 00:26:37,840 Speaker 2: the guys that are three, four and five on the 565 00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:42,879 Speaker 2: on the list. So I just that's the position. I 566 00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:46,360 Speaker 2: think something weird is going to happen there, all right, 567 00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:49,119 Speaker 2: Brian Woodward. Do you believe this defense can be the 568 00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:51,320 Speaker 2: number one defense in the league this year? If so, 569 00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:55,800 Speaker 2: what unit needs to play the best to achieve that? Linebackers? 570 00:26:56,160 --> 00:26:58,600 Speaker 2: I think I think it's the linebackers, because I do 571 00:26:58,640 --> 00:27:01,000 Speaker 2: think that the defensive line and the edges they're gonna 572 00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:02,760 Speaker 2: be great. I think the corners, I think to say, 573 00:27:02,800 --> 00:27:04,320 Speaker 2: I think I think they're gonna be good all the way. 574 00:27:04,359 --> 00:27:08,280 Speaker 2: The linebackers probably got the spot. That really is uh 575 00:27:08,320 --> 00:27:10,119 Speaker 2: something that that that makes you kind of scratch your 576 00:27:10,119 --> 00:27:12,440 Speaker 2: head a little bit. So that's the position yetta look 577 00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:12,920 Speaker 2: at all right? 578 00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:13,720 Speaker 8: Eric? 579 00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:17,080 Speaker 2: Two rs? Eric with two rs, I like it. This 580 00:27:17,119 --> 00:27:20,640 Speaker 2: is a good question. Is Jalen Tolbert really standing out 581 00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:23,840 Speaker 2: or is it a matter of expectations relative to last year? 582 00:27:24,359 --> 00:27:27,000 Speaker 2: That that that is something that we always have to 583 00:27:27,040 --> 00:27:30,920 Speaker 2: factor in always because when you when you think is 584 00:27:30,920 --> 00:27:31,840 Speaker 2: this guy gonna line up? 585 00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:32,160 Speaker 8: Okay? 586 00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:35,920 Speaker 2: Is this guy gonna gonna actually make the catches? So yeah, 587 00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:37,639 Speaker 2: I mean that that's that was the bar It was 588 00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:40,560 Speaker 2: so low last year. Then now is he making play? Yes, 589 00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:43,040 Speaker 2: but he is making plays. Even on top of that, 590 00:27:43,119 --> 00:27:46,600 Speaker 2: I think he does look really good right now? All right, 591 00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:50,159 Speaker 2: what are the standard this is from Mayo to be 592 00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:54,080 Speaker 2: our last one. Who are the standouts of camp so far? 593 00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:56,320 Speaker 2: Is there a player on this team that isn't being 594 00:27:56,359 --> 00:27:59,800 Speaker 2: talked about you feel will make a significant impact this year. 595 00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:03,080 Speaker 2: Remember they just put the pads on today, so it's 596 00:28:03,080 --> 00:28:06,000 Speaker 2: hard to kind of figure that out until today. No 597 00:28:06,119 --> 00:28:10,240 Speaker 2: offensive lineman or even linebacker running back really gotta gets 598 00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:12,280 Speaker 2: a good shot to to kind of figure that out. 599 00:28:12,280 --> 00:28:15,000 Speaker 2: We've been looking at receivers, tight ends, guys that actually, 600 00:28:15,320 --> 00:28:17,320 Speaker 2: you know, catch the ball and things like that. So 601 00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:21,159 Speaker 2: but I will say today some of these young receivers 602 00:28:21,480 --> 00:28:23,560 Speaker 2: kind of have started to take that next level. And 603 00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:27,640 Speaker 2: Jalen Brooks and he's a guy that really has done 604 00:28:27,640 --> 00:28:29,880 Speaker 2: some some nice things. I think he caught more passes 605 00:28:29,880 --> 00:28:33,640 Speaker 2: today then he had he did his entire career at 606 00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:36,120 Speaker 2: South Carolina. Mean really that's that wasn't what he did. 607 00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:39,320 Speaker 2: He was a special teams guy, So he was somebody 608 00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:41,040 Speaker 2: that that has done a lot. I say, we're gonna 609 00:28:41,040 --> 00:28:43,640 Speaker 2: take take more. I got a couple more questions here. 610 00:28:45,160 --> 00:28:47,840 Speaker 2: This one was from j T. Conrodn't really about football. 611 00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:51,080 Speaker 2: He says, I heard you say you watched the Crawford 612 00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:55,280 Speaker 2: Spence fight. You weren't surprised with the outcome. Do you 613 00:28:55,280 --> 00:28:57,960 Speaker 2: guys get that much time off to watch things like that? 614 00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:01,880 Speaker 2: Would you watch the fight to get Hey, we're working, man, Okay, 615 00:29:01,880 --> 00:29:05,400 Speaker 2: we work. I remember this is West Coast. Okay, we're here, 616 00:29:05,600 --> 00:29:09,320 Speaker 2: we're working. But no, my man William Borkins actually got 617 00:29:09,320 --> 00:29:11,960 Speaker 2: the fight. He got it programmed in, signed in. You know, 618 00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:14,360 Speaker 2: we watched it on a projector's screen and all that. 619 00:29:14,440 --> 00:29:17,120 Speaker 2: He was cool. But yes, I have seen Crawford fight 620 00:29:17,160 --> 00:29:20,000 Speaker 2: and I just I thought he was bigger. I thought 621 00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:22,000 Speaker 2: he was gonna be bigger all along. It definitely showed. 622 00:29:22,080 --> 00:29:25,920 Speaker 2: Would I watch that fight again if it's on? Maybe, 623 00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:27,440 Speaker 2: But I mean I'm not going out of my way 624 00:29:27,480 --> 00:29:30,760 Speaker 2: because I mean I think we've seen what happens there, 625 00:29:30,800 --> 00:29:34,280 Speaker 2: So that's I don't know. I don't know, and maybe 626 00:29:34,280 --> 00:29:36,280 Speaker 2: they fight a different weight class, who knows. I mean, 627 00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:37,920 Speaker 2: I mean, you guys didn't know you were gonna come 628 00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:41,960 Speaker 2: here for some boxing analysis as well. But yeah, to answer, hey, JT, 629 00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:46,720 Speaker 2: we were working, dude, we work, But yeah, it's not yeah, yeah, yeah. 630 00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:49,040 Speaker 2: We had a player that was also there as well. 631 00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:51,600 Speaker 2: He might have been able to it was Isaac Galler 632 00:29:51,680 --> 00:29:53,360 Speaker 2: Cohen I've seen him kind of swing a little bit. 633 00:29:53,440 --> 00:29:55,720 Speaker 2: He might have been able to. I bet he's boxed 634 00:29:55,720 --> 00:29:59,200 Speaker 2: a few in his day. All right, great stuff, Appreciate 635 00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:00,000 Speaker 2: all the questions. 636 00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:00,400 Speaker 8: Love it. 637 00:30:00,480 --> 00:30:02,880 Speaker 2: Remember if you just joined us as your first show, 638 00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:06,120 Speaker 2: Remember this is not gonna be our format all season long. 639 00:30:06,160 --> 00:30:08,680 Speaker 2: This will be what we're doing out here at camp 640 00:30:08,720 --> 00:30:10,320 Speaker 2: when we get back to the start that we're gonna 641 00:30:10,320 --> 00:30:13,440 Speaker 2: take a lot of more questions over the phone and 642 00:30:13,480 --> 00:30:15,760 Speaker 2: have a little bit more fan interaction that we have 643 00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:17,400 Speaker 2: right now.
