And the fact that that Isaiah gets 0:01:25.560 --> 0:01:30.120 nominated and wins for Best Analysts, I mean that's long overdue. 0:01:30.920 --> 0:01:34.119 Let's get the behind the scenes. What were the reactions, like, Oh, man, 0:01:34.280 --> 0:01:35.240 did you expect to win? 0:01:35.440 --> 0:01:35.640 Did you? 0:01:37.280 --> 0:01:39.160 I didn't either, I really didn't. I did not. 0:01:39.440 --> 0:01:42.640 I I honestly, I mean, this probably sounds bad, but 0:01:42.720 --> 0:01:46.160 I didn't know the severity or the importance of this 0:01:46.680 --> 0:01:49.000 entire anything. You know what I'm saying, Like, I just 0:01:49.080 --> 0:01:51.400 didn't just do it to do it. I'm still relatively 0:01:51.520 --> 0:01:56.000 new in this industry's I mean, Kyle knows me. I'm 0:01:56.040 --> 0:01:59.480 locked in, man, I just so, I really didn't. I 0:01:59.560 --> 0:02:00.360 didn't have a speech. 0:02:00.600 --> 0:02:03.000 I literally got up and spoke on him. I spoke 0:02:03.040 --> 0:02:03.360 on the mic. 0:02:03.640 --> 0:02:05.360 I think, you know, I thank God, I think my wife, 0:02:05.480 --> 0:02:07.800 I thank my teammates, everybody you know I consider here 0:02:07.840 --> 0:02:08.560 in my teammates, and. 0:02:08.760 --> 0:02:09.600 I thank my coach. 0:02:10.040 --> 0:02:11.160 And that was it. 0:02:11.360 --> 0:02:11.880 I was about it. 0:02:11.960 --> 0:02:14.760 There dropped the mic. But I did not expect I 0:02:14.840 --> 0:02:17.200 really didn't expect it. I was going up against Mark mcklamore, 0:02:17.520 --> 0:02:19.079 you know, and I used to watch him. I was 0:02:19.120 --> 0:02:21.280 a baseball dude, right so he's playing for the Mariners. 0:02:21.280 --> 0:02:22.799 I used to go down to the Kingdome, walk down 0:02:22.840 --> 0:02:25.040 there and watch him play, and we're cool, you know, 0:02:25.120 --> 0:02:27.040 we know each other. But like to go against him 0:02:27.240 --> 0:02:30.400 now that's kind of kind of full circle, but but 0:02:30.520 --> 0:02:33.639 I was. I was blessed, honored. Man, this guy another hand. 0:02:33.680 --> 0:02:34.840 I fully expected him to win. 0:02:35.160 --> 0:02:39.280 Came there with like a whole expect this guys. 0:02:39.680 --> 0:02:45.320 First off, his speech to the telepropherty I went, I 0:02:45.440 --> 0:02:48.079 went all the way through that that day, and first off, 0:02:48.880 --> 0:02:50.679 credit to my wife. She was like, you know what 0:02:50.919 --> 0:02:53.720 you're going and you're wearing a Tucks like you have 0:02:53.760 --> 0:02:55.519 a chance to win your first emmy. I was like, 0:02:55.720 --> 0:02:57.400 let me just wear like a sport code, let me 0:02:57.480 --> 0:02:59.960 just walk in like I didn't really want to really dress. 0:03:00.040 --> 0:03:02.400 So she was like, no, if you have a chance 0:03:02.440 --> 0:03:04.040 to win your first AMMY, you were going to wear 0:03:04.080 --> 0:03:06.000 a Tucks And I was like, okay, fine, yes ma'am. 0:03:06.280 --> 0:03:09.320 And then we got there and just getting to see 0:03:09.480 --> 0:03:12.400 everybody there, I mean, there's mentors that that I've watched 0:03:12.440 --> 0:03:15.040 on TV for so long and that I've learned from 0:03:15.320 --> 0:03:18.160 in my four years here and just really looked up 0:03:18.200 --> 0:03:21.000 to and to see them there, and uh the first 0:03:21.040 --> 0:03:22.760 person the hugby when I got off stage was new 0:03:22.800 --> 0:03:25.040 He Scruggs, who's of course on the Player's lounge and 0:03:25.120 --> 0:03:27.320 he's been such a blessing for me and in the 0:03:27.400 --> 0:03:30.239 business and in this whole process, and so it was 0:03:30.280 --> 0:03:32.200 really cool. It was really cool. I didn't have a 0:03:32.240 --> 0:03:36.480 speech prepared either, and they they told us twenty seconds 0:03:36.600 --> 0:03:38.080 is all you got. So it's like, I mean, it 0:03:38.200 --> 0:03:40.640 was quick, serious, and they would cut you off with 0:03:40.800 --> 0:03:43.080 the next video if you went over, like for real. 0:03:43.200 --> 0:03:47.360 So I went up there and I was like, yep, wife, coach, god, yeap, 0:03:47.480 --> 0:03:49.920 let me get out of here, like teammates for sure, 0:03:50.000 --> 0:03:52.600 and uh, yeah it was. It was really fun. So 0:03:52.800 --> 0:03:56.480 great day. We beam, Yeah, beamer Man beam for sure. Honestly, 0:03:56.640 --> 0:03:58.320 that's the MVP. That's a chance. 0:03:58.360 --> 0:04:00.640 But I didn't even think about trying to You're involved 0:04:00.680 --> 0:04:02.280 with the team makes there is no way to go 0:04:02.400 --> 0:04:04.640 down the line and in the amount of people that 0:04:04.720 --> 0:04:07.080 I would have to think individually, So it was all 0:04:07.160 --> 0:04:09.800 encomassing in terms of just time. 0:04:11.840 --> 0:04:12.200 The team. 0:04:12.360 --> 0:04:14.400 I mean, the team here is ridiculous, you know, and 0:04:14.440 --> 0:04:17.800 there's a lot of amazing talent that comes through these doors. Obviously, 0:04:17.920 --> 0:04:21.000 I mean skills all across the board. And you know, 0:04:21.080 --> 0:04:24.080 one thing you always remind yourself of is how blessed 0:04:24.080 --> 0:04:26.680 you are to be in this building and on this platform, 0:04:26.800 --> 0:04:29.359 because I mean, this is the greatest brand in sports. 0:04:29.800 --> 0:04:31.760 And I think a lot of times, you know, you're 0:04:31.760 --> 0:04:34.480 going through life and frustrations happened and all that jazz, 0:04:34.520 --> 0:04:36.280 and you really have to remind yourself where the heck 0:04:36.320 --> 0:04:38.120 are you at every day, you know, and it's it's 0:04:38.160 --> 0:04:38.800 pretty awesome. 0:04:39.520 --> 0:04:42.160 And then to be recognized, you know, as especially at 0:04:42.240 --> 0:04:42.520 least for. 0:04:42.560 --> 0:04:45.479 Me from my perspective as just a young spring chicken 0:04:45.520 --> 0:04:47.000 just trying to grind it out, it's pretty dope. 0:04:47.040 --> 0:04:48.560 It was also too that like what we were just 0:04:48.640 --> 0:04:51.320 walking in here, Yeah, Stephen Jones was walking by in 0:04:51.360 --> 0:04:54.240 the hallway. It was like, hey, congratulations, Isaiah whatever. 0:04:54.360 --> 0:04:59.360 You know, Yeah, they know, they know. The cool thing 0:04:59.440 --> 0:05:01.360 For me, it was Isaiah and I really kind of 0:05:01.360 --> 0:05:03.600 started this journey together. I mean we were on Talking 0:05:03.680 --> 0:05:06.479 Cowboys really together from when we first got on the show. 0:05:06.480 --> 0:05:08.640 I think I did four shows without you before you House, 0:05:08.680 --> 0:05:13.080 the COVID edition, yeah, twenty twenty, and then we hopped 0:05:13.080 --> 0:05:16.080 on Talking Cowboys. Of course, that's kind of stayed the 0:05:16.080 --> 0:05:18.160 same sense. But then we got on pregame later in 0:05:18.240 --> 0:05:20.800 twenty twenty when the football season actually began and we 0:05:20.880 --> 0:05:24.440 started that TV journey together, and both of our submissions 0:05:24.480 --> 0:05:26.200 had a lot of pregame in it, a lot of 0:05:26.240 --> 0:05:29.040 pregame and postgame stuff in it. So the fact that 0:05:29.160 --> 0:05:31.160 like we kind of came in together and started this 0:05:31.279 --> 0:05:34.480 journey in twenty twenty to like win something where we 0:05:34.600 --> 0:05:36.280 kind of play off of each other on it was 0:05:36.360 --> 0:05:39.359 really really cool, so fun times. But enough about us, 0:05:39.440 --> 0:05:40.159 Let's talk about. 0:05:39.960 --> 0:05:40.760 The Dallas Cowboys. 0:05:40.800 --> 0:05:44.920 That's what that's what we're here for. Let's where do 0:05:44.920 --> 0:05:46.160 you guys want to start? You want to start with 0:05:46.240 --> 0:05:48.800 the fifty three man cut downs. You're wearing your under 0:05:48.839 --> 0:05:51.839 lip key North Dakota State Green to Paris. 0:05:52.080 --> 0:05:52.840 Sure as did you know? 0:05:53.040 --> 0:05:55.880 I started the Hunter Lucky fan Club the day he 0:05:55.960 --> 0:05:59.720 got signed and the plane reached new heights yesterday? 0:05:59.760 --> 0:06:02.520 But no, no, true, thirty one thousand or thirty six thousand, 0:06:02.640 --> 0:06:06.080 thirty six thousand feet, forty three thousand feet, forty three 0:06:06.200 --> 0:06:06.840 thousand feet. 0:06:07.279 --> 0:06:10.160 I'm here, I'd give you that, but honestly, I was 0:06:10.200 --> 0:06:11.039 shocked he made the roster. 0:06:11.600 --> 0:06:13.320 I will say that I thought they were going to 0:06:13.360 --> 0:06:15.640 take four tight ends and three running backs, And if 0:06:15.680 --> 0:06:16.920 you had told me it's going to come down to 0:06:16.960 --> 0:06:19.600 Sean McEwen or Hunter Lkey, I would have been like, Okay, McEwen. 0:06:19.560 --> 0:06:19.880 Yeah, I was. 0:06:20.000 --> 0:06:22.280 I was pretty surprised. I and you know, the more 0:06:22.320 --> 0:06:25.200 I've been thinking about it, it makes sense. I guess 0:06:25.240 --> 0:06:27.080 if you want somebody that still has a ton of 0:06:27.200 --> 0:06:30.080 upside that can bring more to the offense from a 0:06:30.160 --> 0:06:34.040 skill perspective, that I understand keeping looky, but also I 0:06:34.120 --> 0:06:35.720 think that's going to show a lot of confidence in 0:06:35.760 --> 0:06:38.120 Schoonmaker and the fact that he can block for the 0:06:38.200 --> 0:06:39.920 running game this year. So they must feel pretty good 0:06:39.920 --> 0:06:42.280 about where he's at with his planner fasciitis if it is, 0:06:42.560 --> 0:06:45.760 you know, overcome, and they feel pretty good about where 0:06:45.800 --> 0:06:48.200 he is skill set wise too. So there was a 0:06:48.240 --> 0:06:50.640 lot of fascinating things that I think went into that decision. 0:06:50.680 --> 0:06:52.360 I think that's one of the more interesting ones my 0:06:52.480 --> 0:06:53.800 hundred Lookey fandom the side. 0:06:55.279 --> 0:06:58.640 In addition to thirty two roster cuts, yesterday, Cowboys put 0:06:58.680 --> 0:07:01.920 four players on the reserve injured list. David Durdin, de 0:07:02.040 --> 0:07:05.360 Marvion Overshowing, John Stevens. Josh ball Ball was probably the 0:07:05.400 --> 0:07:07.360 one that's kind of a bit surprising, but we talked 0:07:07.400 --> 0:07:09.800 about it on Monday. He was expected to miss a 0:07:09.880 --> 0:07:12.600 significant amount of time. Let's go through, just like a 0:07:12.720 --> 0:07:14.920 clump of these at a time. We'll start with, Uh, 0:07:15.320 --> 0:07:17.600 start with Jabrill Cox. I think that's a pretty massive one. 0:07:17.720 --> 0:07:20.240 I mean, day two pick, or excuse me, day three pick, 0:07:21.400 --> 0:07:25.240 somebody that had high hopes for being in this linebacker corps. 0:07:25.240 --> 0:07:27.560 And Isaiah I know, whenever he was selected, I was 0:07:27.920 --> 0:07:29.600 very high on him. You really liked what he brought 0:07:29.640 --> 0:07:32.040 to the table. And then the injuries kind of happened. 0:07:32.080 --> 0:07:34.240 Then it derailed a lot of that production and a 0:07:34.280 --> 0:07:35.280 lot of that growth early on. 0:07:35.560 --> 0:07:37.680 Yeah, and I hate it being the guy that you know, 0:07:37.720 --> 0:07:40.080 I'm a straight shooter, but I know you've heard me 0:07:40.360 --> 0:07:41.200 many times. 0:07:40.960 --> 0:07:43.120 Say that knees just not not the same. 0:07:43.120 --> 0:07:45.280 It's not He's not what he was, unfortunately, and that 0:07:45.400 --> 0:07:47.560 sucks because I'm somebody who's sustained a lot of injuries. 0:07:47.600 --> 0:07:50.360 But the reality is, once he had that injury, his 0:07:50.520 --> 0:07:54.120 greatest asset was then tarnished. I mean, he could not 0:07:54.920 --> 0:07:56.840 he wasn't as agile as he was. He wasn't as 0:07:56.880 --> 0:07:59.880 fast as he once was. His ability to change direction 0:08:00.240 --> 0:08:02.080 and sink his weight and get out in the power 0:08:02.160 --> 0:08:04.680 in power out, it just wasn't there. And I hate 0:08:04.720 --> 0:08:06.520 that for him. I hate that for him, But there's nothing. 0:08:06.840 --> 0:08:08.280 If he could change it, he would have changed it, 0:08:08.400 --> 0:08:11.800 you know, but injuries happened. But the reason why they 0:08:11.840 --> 0:08:14.040 got him, he was unable to do those same things 0:08:14.120 --> 0:08:16.440 that they the reason why they attained them in the 0:08:16.480 --> 0:08:16.920 first place. 0:08:17.080 --> 0:08:19.480 My biggest surprise with that is just because of how 0:08:19.600 --> 0:08:21.880 thin they were at linebacker. I was like, even though 0:08:22.080 --> 0:08:24.600 he hasn't shown that, who do they who else do 0:08:24.720 --> 0:08:28.320 they have? Now obviously they can use the safeties and that, 0:08:28.520 --> 0:08:30.640 but it just there's a part of me that's like, man, 0:08:30.680 --> 0:08:32.880 it just seems thin at that position, not to have 0:08:33.520 --> 0:08:36.360 Jabril Cox there. So that would be you know that 0:08:36.559 --> 0:08:38.040 that would probably be at the top of my list 0:08:38.120 --> 0:08:40.760 of in terms of you know, surprises would be that. 0:08:40.880 --> 0:08:44.160 And then as you mentioned Lipke and not going with 0:08:44.280 --> 0:08:47.240 Sean McCune just because you know, even when Mike McCarthy 0:08:47.240 --> 0:08:50.200 talked about yesterday like saying, when he was asked about mccwne, 0:08:50.240 --> 0:08:52.559 he was like, yeah, that's those are the tough ones 0:08:52.559 --> 0:08:55.920 when you have to sit there and tell a player like, yeah, 0:08:56.000 --> 0:08:58.520 you did everything we asked you to do, but I 0:08:58.559 --> 0:08:59.199 gotta let you go. 0:08:59.400 --> 0:08:59.520 You know. 0:08:59.760 --> 0:09:03.320 That's because there's probably a ton of guys you're letting 0:09:03.400 --> 0:09:06.319 go that you're just like, yeah, but you know we wanted, 0:09:06.400 --> 0:09:07.880 we need to do this and this and and you 0:09:07.920 --> 0:09:10.520 couldn't do it. But it sounds like with mckown it 0:09:10.640 --> 0:09:12.360 was just the numbers thing there. So I would think 0:09:12.400 --> 0:09:13.800 that he has to be pretty high in their list 0:09:13.840 --> 0:09:15.520 of guys that they're hoping they can get back. 0:09:15.840 --> 0:09:18.640 And to that point, when we sat down at training camp, 0:09:18.679 --> 0:09:22.640 I think it was our first talking cowboys in Auxnart, 0:09:22.720 --> 0:09:24.800 and I kind of brought up how Sean mceuwen was 0:09:24.960 --> 0:09:27.440 what he was tofu. He was a guy who didn't 0:09:27.480 --> 0:09:29.160 have a lot of flavor to him. You know, you 0:09:29.240 --> 0:09:33.400 can you can make it work, you like, but I 0:09:33.440 --> 0:09:39.240 see I sees him seizing. So McEwen just didn't have 0:09:39.320 --> 0:09:41.599 a lot to him, but he was consistent, you know. 0:09:41.679 --> 0:09:43.840 And Linda Wells has backed that up as well. He's like, man, 0:09:43.880 --> 0:09:45.760 you know what you're gonna get out of him? I 0:09:45.880 --> 0:09:49.760 think that decision in regards to Lipke over McEwen. Came 0:09:49.840 --> 0:09:53.600 down to the contributions that would be there on special teams, 0:09:54.040 --> 0:09:56.559 and I don't think Sean McKowen was as versatile on 0:09:56.640 --> 0:09:58.559 special teams as Hunter lip Key can be. 0:09:58.720 --> 0:10:00.280 And that's ultimately what I leave. 0:10:00.520 --> 0:10:03.200 It came down to reason being what would you use 0:10:03.200 --> 0:10:05.920 Sean mchum for on special teams aside from field goal protection? 0:10:08.720 --> 0:10:11.480 Not a whole lot, yeah, because I mean he's not 0:10:11.600 --> 0:10:13.240 running down field and covering kicks. Right. 0:10:13.320 --> 0:10:15.959 He can't be your personal protector, right, he can't, you 0:10:16.040 --> 0:10:18.600 know what I mean. He's just so he's very very 0:10:18.720 --> 0:10:21.360 limited in that regard. Now, would he be willing, I'm sure, 0:10:21.480 --> 0:10:23.840 could he do it? I'm sure? But there's levels to everything. 0:10:24.080 --> 0:10:26.000 And I think when you take somebody who was a 0:10:26.080 --> 0:10:28.959 six one two forty eight, two fifty whatever he is, Okay, 0:10:29.040 --> 0:10:29.720 who can that. 0:10:30.160 --> 0:10:32.760 That frame peral downfield frame gives you a lot to 0:10:32.800 --> 0:10:33.079 work with. 0:10:33.200 --> 0:10:36.319 Okay, As a he could he could still be a 0:10:36.440 --> 0:10:39.120 wing on a field goal block if you really needed 0:10:39.120 --> 0:10:40.880 to field goal protection if you needed to, But he's 0:10:40.920 --> 0:10:42.360 not gonna be there, so field goal field goal block, 0:10:42.360 --> 0:10:42.600 he's not. 0:10:42.600 --> 0:10:43.199 Going to be your guy. 0:10:43.240 --> 0:10:46.400 But on all the other things, coverage, coverage covering kicks, 0:10:47.240 --> 0:10:50.080 punt and kickoff, kickoff return. He's going to be one 0:10:50.120 --> 0:10:51.880 of the front line guys or even the backline guy 0:10:52.040 --> 0:10:54.360 most likely that can sit back there and be the 0:10:54.480 --> 0:10:56.679 quote unquote new version of a wedge, you know, so 0:10:56.800 --> 0:10:58.800 he can be versatile in those offerings, so he can 0:10:58.840 --> 0:11:01.160 be one of your core special teams versus McEwen would 0:11:01.160 --> 0:11:03.960 not be a core special teamer. And that's the aspect 0:11:03.960 --> 0:11:08.679 that people are forgetting that Bones Fossil has to have. 0:11:08.840 --> 0:11:10.839 He has to have six solid guys that he could 0:11:10.880 --> 0:11:12.839 rely on in every specialist. 0:11:12.440 --> 0:11:14.040 That was gonna be. My next question is do you 0:11:14.120 --> 0:11:17.559 think Bones Fossil ultimately made this decision. You think it 0:11:17.760 --> 0:11:20.000 was they went to Bones and said, Okay, we've got 0:11:20.160 --> 0:11:22.960 a couple guys here. Here's a list of guys. Who 0:11:23.040 --> 0:11:25.320 do you want out of this list of guys, who 0:11:25.440 --> 0:11:27.800 is going to be most productive for you in this situation? 0:11:27.920 --> 0:11:30.360 Because we feel good at tight end, we've got Ferguson, 0:11:30.400 --> 0:11:34.480 Schoonmaker and Hindershot as offensive weapons. Sure, we would like 0:11:34.520 --> 0:11:36.800 to rotate a guy in there here and there because 0:11:36.800 --> 0:11:39.199 they run two tight end sets so often with a 0:11:39.240 --> 0:11:40.240 guy like Sean McEwan. 0:11:40.280 --> 0:11:43.000 But Hunter Lipke can do a similar thing. I mean 0:11:43.000 --> 0:11:45.360 he really kind of hybrided. If you're gonna play is 0:11:45.400 --> 0:11:46.960 he going to play twenty snaps on offense? 0:11:47.600 --> 0:11:47.640 No? 0:11:48.000 --> 0:11:49.880 No, is he gonna play twenty steps on special teams? 0:11:50.160 --> 0:11:50.559 Probably? 0:11:50.679 --> 0:11:50.920 Yeah? 0:11:51.240 --> 0:11:52.880 Yeah, So that's what it ends up coming down. 0:11:52.920 --> 0:11:56.560 Speaking of special teams real quick, were you guys surprised 0:11:56.920 --> 0:11:59.679 at what happened with Calvin Joseph? I know, when we 0:11:59.760 --> 0:12:02.520 had talked about cutting down the roster possibly not having 0:12:02.559 --> 0:12:03.880 them out, were you surprised that they were able to 0:12:03.920 --> 0:12:04.760 get something in return? 0:12:04.840 --> 0:12:06.440 I want to I want to wait until the second 0:12:06.480 --> 0:12:08.800 segment because I want to spend the whole segment on it, 0:12:08.880 --> 0:12:10.640 because it's. 0:12:10.559 --> 0:12:12.960 Kind of a notable move. That's a very notable move. 0:12:13.080 --> 0:12:15.160 You know that It's easy to overlook it because I 0:12:15.160 --> 0:12:16.839 think a lot of people are like, it's not like 0:12:16.920 --> 0:12:18.679 they traded someone that you're like, Man, I knew for 0:12:18.840 --> 0:12:20.280 I thought for sure that that guy was going to 0:12:20.320 --> 0:12:22.360 be on the fifty three, and so we had talked 0:12:22.400 --> 0:12:23.640 about it. So that's not the reason why I mentioned it. 0:12:23.760 --> 0:12:26.720 Yeah, I do want to talk about it significantly because 0:12:26.880 --> 0:12:28.800 I mean, whenever you trade for a former first round 0:12:28.880 --> 0:12:30.719 or for the second time this week. It's kind of 0:12:30.760 --> 0:12:34.720 something to talk about. Yeah, the then along the lines 0:12:34.800 --> 0:12:37.199 kind of going back down the list, I mean, jabro 0:12:37.320 --> 0:12:40.200 Cox was a surprise. Sean McEwan was a surprise. Out 0:12:40.240 --> 0:12:43.000 of the names that we listed in our show on Monday, 0:12:43.040 --> 0:12:45.520 we only got four guys wrong. It was those two. 0:12:46.960 --> 0:12:49.520 The third one was brock Hoffman. We kept brock Hoffman 0:12:49.600 --> 0:12:51.160 even though we had kind of. 0:12:51.160 --> 0:12:53.960 A don't think I don't think we had a sixth receiver. 0:12:54.559 --> 0:12:56.200 And then we did not have a sixth receiver. 0:12:56.679 --> 0:12:58.199 That's the only one I can think of. Yeah, we 0:12:58.240 --> 0:12:58.920 didn't have Brooks. 0:12:59.000 --> 0:13:00.959 We I think we cut Brooks too, is Yeah, that 0:13:01.080 --> 0:13:04.000 was the problem. So yeah, I mean pretty close on 0:13:04.120 --> 0:13:06.480 what what we thought was going to happen, did you 0:13:06.880 --> 0:13:09.520 But it's not I mean, ahead, what were you gonna say. 0:13:09.520 --> 0:13:12.000 I was gonna say, it's not fully settled yet, right 0:13:12.120 --> 0:13:12.439 for real? 0:13:12.679 --> 0:13:15.040 Yeah, Like there will be a backup center on this 0:13:15.120 --> 0:13:16.520 roster that is not in this building right now? 0:13:16.920 --> 0:13:17.520 Good Win? 0:13:17.679 --> 0:13:20.520 Right, I mean again, I know we'll talk about it, 0:13:20.520 --> 0:13:23.080 but like especially losing Kelvin Joseph, I don't see how 0:13:23.240 --> 0:13:25.800 they would they need CJ. Goodwin. I mean those are 0:13:26.400 --> 0:13:28.959 the two top gunners last year. We're a good Win 0:13:29.040 --> 0:13:33.200 and Joseph so and Trent and they kept Trent Sig too. 0:13:33.200 --> 0:13:34.079 They're going to bring him back. 0:13:34.120 --> 0:13:36.120 They kept every single one of their draft picks too. 0:13:36.320 --> 0:13:39.000 By the way, you noticed that as well, because they 0:13:39.120 --> 0:13:42.520 kept Miles Brooks. Excuse me, uh, I brought Miles Brooks. 0:13:42.559 --> 0:13:46.240 Miles Brooks got cut unfortunately, uh Eric Scott junior and 0:13:46.360 --> 0:13:49.800 they got they brought back Jalen Brooks. I mean multiple 0:13:49.840 --> 0:13:53.200 guys that were late in that draft class. Villiami Fijoco. 0:13:53.240 --> 0:13:54.600 We kind of knew he was going to be around. 0:13:54.679 --> 0:13:56.360 But then three undrafted guys again. 0:13:56.600 --> 0:14:00.880 Yeah, again the rookie class is it carries a lot 0:14:00.920 --> 0:14:01.439 of weight in this. 0:14:01.760 --> 0:14:04.280 I told you going into camp they keep three undrafted guys. 0:14:05.040 --> 0:14:09.520 Don't you think that either Wheat or Land would be 0:14:09.600 --> 0:14:10.319 one of those guys? 0:14:10.480 --> 0:14:11.880 Yes, I think. 0:14:14.120 --> 0:14:16.200 One of them on the fifth l for Land, that's right, yeah. 0:14:16.480 --> 0:14:20.840 I so interestingly enough, in talking with some of the 0:14:20.880 --> 0:14:23.200 front office, they had a higher grade on Wheat than 0:14:23.240 --> 0:14:25.320 they did on Land, but they had a fifth round 0:14:25.400 --> 0:14:29.160 grade on Wheat. I mean they were very high on 0:14:29.320 --> 0:14:29.960 Tyrus Wheat. 0:14:30.040 --> 0:14:32.000 They really like to know what their grade was on bass. 0:14:32.680 --> 0:14:34.080 Yeah, I don't know. I don't know that one. 0:14:34.120 --> 0:14:37.000 I can ask the athletic We lean heavily on Dane Brugler, 0:14:37.040 --> 0:14:38.640 and he definitely had a draftable grade. 0:14:38.680 --> 0:14:40.040 I had a fifth round grade. 0:14:40.040 --> 0:14:42.760 Okay, that might have been with Dane had two. Yeah, 0:14:42.800 --> 0:14:44.640 he definitely was a draftable grade. It was one of 0:14:44.640 --> 0:14:47.600 those when the draft was over, like Dane's draft guy, 0:14:47.640 --> 0:14:50.200 he was one of the highest guys that were still 0:14:50.240 --> 0:14:50.600 out there. 0:14:51.040 --> 0:14:53.120 I'll look into it. I'll see if I can talk 0:14:53.160 --> 0:14:57.520 to somebody across the street, because I think having Wheat 0:14:57.960 --> 0:14:59.840 not on this roster kind of shocks me because they 0:14:59.840 --> 0:15:02.520 were really high on him out of out of school 0:15:02.800 --> 0:15:05.320 and maybe they bring him back. I mean, he could 0:15:05.360 --> 0:15:06.840 be one of those guys that gets lost in the 0:15:06.880 --> 0:15:08.560 cracks and he goes back to the practice squad and 0:15:08.600 --> 0:15:10.760 you feel pretty good about him. But if they felt 0:15:10.800 --> 0:15:12.920 that good about him and he just ended up slipping 0:15:12.960 --> 0:15:15.480 through the cracks and got to the undrafted free agent class, 0:15:15.560 --> 0:15:17.760 they signed him. Is there another one of the thirty 0:15:17.800 --> 0:15:20.000 one teams that was looking at him as an undrafted 0:15:20.000 --> 0:15:24.240 free agent possibility and then didn't sign him back in April? 0:15:24.520 --> 0:15:25.200 Yeah, I don't know. 0:15:25.280 --> 0:15:27.880 My mind automatically goes to some of the strategy that 0:15:28.080 --> 0:15:31.960 goes into the veterans that can't be picked up on waivers, 0:15:32.040 --> 0:15:33.840 and you know that don't have to try to clear 0:15:33.880 --> 0:15:36.920 waivers some of these younger guys that we thought that 0:15:37.200 --> 0:15:40.320 we sat here and cut on Monday but wanted on 0:15:40.440 --> 0:15:43.400 the practice squad. Some of those guys are retained for now, 0:15:44.040 --> 0:15:45.760 but may not be by the. 0:15:45.840 --> 0:15:48.880 End of the week. And then you know, hopefully they slipped. 0:15:48.560 --> 0:15:51.440 Through the cracks because everybody's not trying to grab all 0:15:51.480 --> 0:15:53.440 their practice squad players, you know, at that point in time, 0:15:53.480 --> 0:15:56.560 and you have a greater probability of a Jalen Brooks 0:15:56.640 --> 0:15:58.960 or or somebody like that being released and being able 0:15:59.000 --> 0:16:00.680 to get him back because nobody wants to let go 0:16:00.800 --> 0:16:02.320 of their guys they already signed. 0:16:02.080 --> 0:16:02.440 Sneak them. 0:16:03.200 --> 0:16:04.480 I mean, there's a lot of that stuff that still 0:16:04.480 --> 0:16:06.640 could take place by what Friday, I would assume. 0:16:07.160 --> 0:16:07.640 So I don't know. 0:16:07.800 --> 0:16:09.960 I will say every time I see Isaiah Land's name 0:16:10.040 --> 0:16:12.400 on Twitter, I just want to report the tweet, like. 0:16:12.440 --> 0:16:13.440 Get his name off the time. 0:16:14.400 --> 0:16:15.600 You can't tweet about until noon. 0:16:15.640 --> 0:16:17.240 Get him out of here, all right, everybody and talking 0:16:17.280 --> 0:16:20.120 Cowboys Nation, No more tweeting about Isaiah Land. We got 0:16:20.240 --> 0:16:21.160 to keep them for at. 0:16:21.040 --> 0:16:23.600 Least the next forty three minutes. Let's just keep it quiet. 0:16:23.640 --> 0:16:25.840 So that's when the deadline is is forty three minutes 0:16:25.840 --> 0:16:28.840 from now. That's when what is that deadline exact? 0:16:28.840 --> 0:16:32.400 That'll be the claim waivers deadline. So anybody that is 0:16:32.480 --> 0:16:34.440 going through the waiver process right now will have to 0:16:34.480 --> 0:16:37.000 be claimed by eleven am Central time, and we'll see. 0:16:37.040 --> 0:16:39.600 I think there's going to be at least two guys 0:16:39.600 --> 0:16:41.240 that the Cowboys will go after for sure. That or 0:16:41.280 --> 0:16:42.760 that we're not on the roster beforehand. 0:16:43.200 --> 0:16:43.760
