And so much for that. 0:00:28.520 --> 0:00:33.680 It's time for The Break on Dallas Cowboys dot Com 0:00:34.479 --> 0:00:43.000 with Nick Eatman, David Hellman, and bar Garcia and Derek Eagleton. Monday, 0:00:43.000 --> 0:00:46.880 August thirtieth, twenty twenty one, Season seventeen, Episode number fourteen. 0:00:46.920 --> 0:00:49.360 Welcome to the latest edition of The Break. We are 0:00:49.400 --> 0:00:52.279 alive from the s WBC Mortgage studios at the Star. 0:00:52.400 --> 0:00:55.319 We are fresh off the cowboys final preseason game where 0:00:55.360 --> 0:00:58.320 they lose to the Jacksonville Jaguars, and so now we 0:00:58.360 --> 0:01:02.200 can just start pointing ourselves toward the opening of the season. 0:01:02.280 --> 0:01:05.840 It is, uh, what week in three days before the 0:01:05.880 --> 0:01:10.720 Cowboys begin the season against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Tampa, 0:01:10.800 --> 0:01:14.319 the reigning Super Bowl defending champions. And it'll be fun. 0:01:14.480 --> 0:01:16.200 It'll be fun. So what we're gonna do it on 0:01:16.240 --> 0:01:18.800 today's show is we're gonna spend most of the show 0:01:19.480 --> 0:01:21.919 trying to break this down as far as the fifty 0:01:21.959 --> 0:01:24.960 three man roster. Tomorrow, the Cowboys I think by four 0:01:25.000 --> 0:01:27.559 pm Eastern time, the Cowboys have to get their roster 0:01:27.680 --> 0:01:30.679 down to fifty three. But we're gonna go ahead and 0:01:30.680 --> 0:01:33.480 do that for them today, and we will send our 0:01:33.520 --> 0:01:35.640 official list over to Will and his group and let 0:01:35.640 --> 0:01:38.320 them know what the break thinks they should do as 0:01:38.319 --> 0:01:43.360 far as their final good not William Blakins, Will McClay. 0:01:43.360 --> 0:01:45.080 We're gonna send it over. I'm just gonna say, hey, 0:01:45.160 --> 0:01:47.760 you know, you did us a solid on the documentary, 0:01:48.440 --> 0:01:50.440 so we're gonna do you a solid on the fifty 0:01:50.480 --> 0:01:53.120 three and we're gonna call it even make this easy 0:01:53.240 --> 0:01:55.200 on you. Absolutely, Yeah, just take the rest of the 0:01:55.240 --> 0:01:58.000 day exactly. We've been watching, We've been watching practice. We 0:01:58.080 --> 0:01:59.880 got a good idea of what should happen with this team. 0:02:00.120 --> 0:02:04.120 I don't. I'm sorry, I don't have a good idea. No, 0:02:04.240 --> 0:02:06.040 I don't think we've I've said this several times. I 0:02:06.040 --> 0:02:08.160 don't think we've learned one thing about this football team 0:02:08.160 --> 0:02:11.160 since we got the training camp, except except for the 0:02:11.160 --> 0:02:14.639 fact that Ceedee Lamb is a baller. What we haven't 0:02:14.680 --> 0:02:16.920 learned we haven't learned about Michael Parson that we know 0:02:17.000 --> 0:02:20.200 he's gonna be the best linebacker on this team. Okay, 0:02:20.280 --> 0:02:23.200 we haven't learned that. But what does that mean? Well, 0:02:24.720 --> 0:02:27.000 the best linebacker, that means he's gonna be the best 0:02:27.000 --> 0:02:29.320 linebacker on this team. Okay, I mean I'm saying that's 0:02:29.320 --> 0:02:31.320 what I'm saying. Darren Hambrick was the best linebacker one year. 0:02:31.360 --> 0:02:33.480 I mean, what does that necessarily mean? I think, yeah, 0:02:33.520 --> 0:02:36.280 his arrow was pointed up. He looks every bit like 0:02:36.400 --> 0:02:38.400 the first round pick and all that. I'm just saying, 0:02:38.720 --> 0:02:40.480 there's a lot of question mark. We do our twenty 0:02:40.600 --> 0:02:43.480 questions thing, and I don't know we've really answered a 0:02:43.480 --> 0:02:46.080 lot of them. But that's okay, that's what you know. 0:02:46.639 --> 0:02:48.440 I love. First of all, I love that you're the 0:02:48.520 --> 0:02:52.120 Debbie down. He's not usually the pessimist. Again, he's right though, 0:02:52.280 --> 0:02:55.200 He's right, and that's It's this is a wonderful chance 0:02:55.280 --> 0:02:58.880 to just reset it because everything we just saw, good 0:02:58.880 --> 0:03:02.520 and bad, means next to nothing. Now it really does. 0:03:02.960 --> 0:03:05.320 Like it's like you're all bubbling, you're ready to go. 0:03:05.480 --> 0:03:08.440 This last month and an we didn't waste anything. But 0:03:08.720 --> 0:03:11.200 you know we've done this before, where you know, we 0:03:11.280 --> 0:03:14.000 get back from training camp and Byron Jones is the 0:03:14.040 --> 0:03:18.880 next He's the next All Pro safety Byron Jones, the 0:03:19.080 --> 0:03:21.399 Xavier Woods like these are the things that I can't 0:03:21.440 --> 0:03:24.919 stop thinking about. Collins, Yep, that's no. I'm with Micah 0:03:24.919 --> 0:03:28.079 Parsons had an incredible train camp. That doesn't necessarily mean 0:03:28.200 --> 0:03:31.040 he's going to have an incredible season. It's it just 0:03:31.160 --> 0:03:33.680 and it's not trying to be a downer. I have 0:03:33.720 --> 0:03:35.560 a lot of opinions about what we saw over the 0:03:35.600 --> 0:03:39.040 last month, but now now it's, you know, put put 0:03:39.080 --> 0:03:40.880 it to work, put it to you, make it count. 0:03:41.000 --> 0:03:44.560 I mean, Randy Gregory looks like he's ready to take 0:03:44.600 --> 0:03:47.720 that next level. Dorrence Armstrong had a really good camp 0:03:47.760 --> 0:03:50.240 from what we saw, and so there are some things 0:03:50.440 --> 0:03:52.600 out there. I mean, Dalton Schultz when he when he's 0:03:52.600 --> 0:03:54.440 held you. But the thing about it was is because 0:03:54.560 --> 0:03:58.240 Dat got hurt when he did, and then Amari came 0:03:58.280 --> 0:04:00.400 back when he did, and it seemed like the tackles 0:04:00.400 --> 0:04:02.440 were kind of in and out, and Zach sometimes and not. 0:04:02.800 --> 0:04:06.960 We just never really saw the whole offense together. Zeke 0:04:07.040 --> 0:04:09.760 never got to carry. Has he fixed his fumbling problems? 0:04:09.760 --> 0:04:13.160 But who knows? Who knows until the first time Tampa 0:04:13.200 --> 0:04:15.160 Bay is trying to strip at it, you know, and 0:04:15.200 --> 0:04:17.440 so what the twentye time. Right, well, yeah, not just 0:04:17.480 --> 0:04:20.000 the first time. I meant, so, you know, is Da 0:04:20.120 --> 0:04:22.560 back from the ankle? I mean, is that he is 0:04:22.560 --> 0:04:25.200 he taking off yet? No, he's still got you know, 0:04:25.240 --> 0:04:29.760 the shoulders. So there's just I'm glad we're here. I'm 0:04:29.800 --> 0:04:32.000 just saying, it's hard to really know what what are 0:04:32.000 --> 0:04:34.160 we looking at here? There's only there can only be 0:04:34.240 --> 0:04:37.480 like three teams in the league right now, where the 0:04:37.520 --> 0:04:41.359 podcasts that talk about said team aren't just excited and 0:04:41.440 --> 0:04:44.320 raring to go. You know, everybody saw some stuff that 0:04:44.440 --> 0:04:48.600 got them excited during training camp, except for like Houston 0:04:48.880 --> 0:04:52.080 Man Houston Detroit going back to at least they beat 0:04:52.120 --> 0:04:55.360 the Cowboys. That's all they got, they say in that, Well, 0:04:55.360 --> 0:04:57.480 that's all they got to say. I mean, if they 0:04:57.520 --> 0:05:00.240 want to be positive about anything, what the governor's up, 0:05:00.279 --> 0:05:02.960 they too call it that whatever something like that. If 0:05:03.000 --> 0:05:05.520 you even if you remember the score of a preseason 0:05:05.560 --> 0:05:08.680 game longer than twelve hours after it happened, I got 0:05:08.720 --> 0:05:11.400 nothing for you. But you get my point. And so 0:05:11.600 --> 0:05:13.599 it's not trying to be a downer. But now you 0:05:13.640 --> 0:05:15.919 know we're we're into the thick of it. But I 0:05:15.960 --> 0:05:17.840 think that's also the truth too. You can look at 0:05:17.839 --> 0:05:20.400 that from the opposite way that probably all thirty two 0:05:20.400 --> 0:05:23.520 teams right now have a similar list of questions about 0:05:23.520 --> 0:05:26.520 their team right now, because that you don't know coming 0:05:26.520 --> 0:05:28.800 off training camp, you don't necessarily know what's going to 0:05:28.839 --> 0:05:30.400 happen when you get into the season. That's the beauty 0:05:30.400 --> 0:05:32.480 of the NFL. The NFL is not a kind of 0:05:32.520 --> 0:05:35.120 league where you can really predict it. It is a season. 0:05:35.120 --> 0:05:38.800 It is a league where going into the season, they're 0:05:38.839 --> 0:05:41.799 probably only three or four teams that have no shot 0:05:41.800 --> 0:05:44.720 at all, and there are probably two or three that 0:05:44.760 --> 0:05:47.640 have the best shot, and everybody else on a given 0:05:47.720 --> 0:05:50.080 year could get hot and could do some great things 0:05:50.120 --> 0:05:52.720 and could be very cold and be picking first in 0:05:52.760 --> 0:05:55.440 the draft. Like that's the NFL. That's actually what I 0:05:55.480 --> 0:05:57.800 love about the NFL. You can't predict it. It's fun 0:05:57.839 --> 0:05:59.800 to watch it play out. And so here we go. 0:06:00.040 --> 0:06:01.720 Cowboys will have to play it all out, all right. 0:06:01.720 --> 0:06:04.440 So let's start first with some injuries. I want to 0:06:04.440 --> 0:06:06.400 start with Lyle Collins and his injury. Talk to me 0:06:06.440 --> 0:06:09.400 about what the injury is first of all, and and 0:06:09.440 --> 0:06:12.360 then talk to me about how concerned fans should be 0:06:13.080 --> 0:06:15.440 that he's dealing with this. At this point, Lyle Collins 0:06:15.520 --> 0:06:20.560 is dealing with some stingers. That's you know, that's related 0:06:20.600 --> 0:06:24.880 to neck and back injuries usually Mike McCarthy and this 0:06:24.960 --> 0:06:27.680 is so, this is these are almost two separate issues. 0:06:27.720 --> 0:06:30.120 Mike McCarthy says, it's not a long term thing, it's 0:06:30.120 --> 0:06:32.320 not something that he's worried about. He should be available 0:06:32.320 --> 0:06:36.400 to practice against Tampa. So should you be concerned that 0:06:36.480 --> 0:06:40.080 Lyle Collins is going to miss time right now? No? 0:06:41.040 --> 0:06:43.920 Should you be concerned that this is maybe an injury 0:06:43.960 --> 0:06:47.200 that he's gonna be dealing with. Yes, I mean that, 0:06:47.320 --> 0:06:48.880 I don't know a better way to say it. Like, 0:06:49.720 --> 0:06:53.200 stingers typically tend to come back. This is something guys 0:06:53.240 --> 0:06:58.440 typically our deal with, which it sucks that it's happening 0:06:58.440 --> 0:07:01.760 to another tackle, But this was this was Tyran's problem before, 0:07:01.920 --> 0:07:05.520 like you know, Lyle's. He doesn't really have a stinger history, 0:07:05.520 --> 0:07:08.640 at least not a long one. So, uh, yeah, I'd 0:07:08.680 --> 0:07:10.040 be lying if I said it didn't make me a 0:07:10.040 --> 0:07:13.440 little bit uneasy, just that this won't this probably won't 0:07:13.440 --> 0:07:15.200 be the only time we're talking about it. That doesn't 0:07:15.200 --> 0:07:17.080 mean he's gonna miss a lot of time. But you 0:07:17.160 --> 0:07:19.240 never know well and also makes you a little bit 0:07:19.360 --> 0:07:21.880 uneasy because he didn't have the best training camp. You know, 0:07:21.920 --> 0:07:24.880 he did get back out there. They played him more 0:07:24.880 --> 0:07:28.600 than really any other of those starting lineman, but you know, 0:07:28.640 --> 0:07:32.720 he he didn't look like the same player we we 0:07:32.760 --> 0:07:36.640 saw when when you know, I guess twenty nineteen. I mean, um, 0:07:37.680 --> 0:07:39.520 if you could call it rust, I guess, I mean 0:07:39.800 --> 0:07:41.880 that's what you're hoping, that's what you call it. So 0:07:42.200 --> 0:07:44.760 to have this injury at this time, you were hoping 0:07:44.800 --> 0:07:47.080 things would kind of start ramping up more. But listen, 0:07:47.440 --> 0:07:49.600 he's about a stuff as they get. He really is. 0:07:49.640 --> 0:07:52.480 He showed that his whole career, and I think he's 0:07:52.520 --> 0:07:55.560 a He is a pro, and so if there's anybody 0:07:55.560 --> 0:07:58.440 then I'm just counting on that's it's gonna get it 0:07:58.480 --> 0:08:00.960 when those lights turn on. It's lie l. I just 0:08:01.240 --> 0:08:03.720 maybe that's me being optimistic there, but I think so 0:08:03.840 --> 0:08:06.000 I agree with that. I just I hope this is 0:08:06.040 --> 0:08:10.120 not a situation where it's like, well it's Wednesday, so 0:08:10.240 --> 0:08:13.080 Lyle's not practicing because of the stinger, and like we've 0:08:13.080 --> 0:08:15.480 seen that with guys before. And I don't want to 0:08:15.480 --> 0:08:17.760 project too much because we don't know, but I don't 0:08:17.800 --> 0:08:21.600 blame anybody that is just kind of uneasy, Like I 0:08:21.640 --> 0:08:23.880 haven't played a game yet and he's dealing with this, 0:08:24.600 --> 0:08:27.080 and there's yeah, there's no way to spend that as 0:08:27.120 --> 0:08:29.760 a completely non factor. And it doesn't help that the 0:08:30.320 --> 0:08:34.200 backup spot, the swing tackle spot, has got everybody even 0:08:34.240 --> 0:08:36.160 more concerned. And we're going to get to that when 0:08:36.160 --> 0:08:38.040 we start getting into the roster, because I think that's 0:08:38.040 --> 0:08:40.360 one of the positions that we really need to talk 0:08:40.360 --> 0:08:43.760 a lot about because of the health of Lyle but 0:08:43.880 --> 0:08:46.680 also the past health of Tyren Smith. Like there's a 0:08:46.679 --> 0:08:50.079 lot to discussing that. Talking to me about Calvin Joseph, 0:08:50.120 --> 0:08:52.560 he left the game yesterday after making a nice open 0:08:52.600 --> 0:08:55.800 field tackle. What's his injury and what's he standing. He's 0:08:55.840 --> 0:08:58.560 got a groin. He said last night that it's minor 0:08:58.720 --> 0:09:01.720 and he'll be back soon. That could mean anything. I mean, 0:09:02.760 --> 0:09:05.360 you know, this happened last night. Mike Andcarthy hasn't talked. 0:09:05.360 --> 0:09:08.400 I haven't heard anything as of yet about the severity. 0:09:08.840 --> 0:09:11.160 I don't get the impression it's something that's gonna land 0:09:11.240 --> 0:09:16.720 him on IR. I don't think it it will, but 0:09:16.840 --> 0:09:20.720 it could, and like it they could do that. They could, 0:09:20.760 --> 0:09:23.800 they could put him there because it's because of roster management. Yeah, 0:09:23.840 --> 0:09:26.839 and plut like the i R is such a wildly 0:09:27.480 --> 0:09:31.480 Before Covid injured reserve was like you reserve that for 0:09:31.760 --> 0:09:35.760 season ending, it's over or maybe he's got a chance. 0:09:35.840 --> 0:09:37.560 Now it's just like, yeah, he needs two or three 0:09:37.600 --> 0:09:39.560 weeks to get right, Like it just doesn't mean what 0:09:39.600 --> 0:09:42.160 it did two years ago. So they could put him 0:09:42.160 --> 0:09:44.400 on IR and have him back by week four. And 0:09:44.440 --> 0:09:47.760 also that's their you know, projection projection of like, Okay, 0:09:48.280 --> 0:09:51.280 let's say he was just completely healthy. Is he active? 0:09:52.120 --> 0:09:54.240 He is he one of the forties six? I mean, 0:09:54.280 --> 0:09:56.640 I don't know that yet about him. He hasn't shown 0:09:56.720 --> 0:09:59.960 that he's this special teams guy that he so I'm 0:10:00.000 --> 0:10:02.040 I mean, I would think Maurice Kennedy might be a 0:10:02.040 --> 0:10:04.600 better game day active than him. Oh maybe it's in 0:10:04.640 --> 0:10:06.640 his best interest to go to IR then, so I 0:10:06.679 --> 0:10:09.800 don't have to hear angry fans whining about why the 0:10:09.840 --> 0:10:13.920 top fifty pick isn't dressing out possible. I don't know. 0:10:14.000 --> 0:10:17.080 I hadn't heard that that i R was in consideration. 0:10:17.160 --> 0:10:18.839 But when you consider that it's only a three or 0:10:18.920 --> 0:10:22.840 four week deal. That makes sense if it's like, okay, 0:10:22.920 --> 0:10:25.120 let's think about this, like he's probably going to miss 0:10:25.120 --> 0:10:27.360 the first let's say that they're saying this, he could 0:10:27.360 --> 0:10:30.480 miss the first game, maybe into the second game. I'm 0:10:30.520 --> 0:10:33.520 not even sure he's going to be active anyways, Let's 0:10:33.600 --> 0:10:36.240 let's do this. Let's hold again to do that, Let's 0:10:36.240 --> 0:10:39.760 hold him. That gives a chance to get at another player, 0:10:40.240 --> 0:10:42.920 and then you know, it always works out kind of 0:10:42.920 --> 0:10:47.600 It Just somebody gets hurt here always. It always like, ah, 0:10:47.679 --> 0:10:50.679 if there's one thing that I've learned, it just always 0:10:50.720 --> 0:10:54.840 it always does. Everybody's always like fretting about it, and 0:10:54.920 --> 0:10:57.880 then somebody gets hurt. Somebody gets ding dug at defensive 0:10:57.920 --> 0:10:59.800 tackle when the training camp started, but like they got 0:10:59.800 --> 0:11:03.040 seven guys, like who's gonna make it? And now you're 0:11:03.120 --> 0:11:05.160 kind of wonderingly do they need to pick up a 0:11:05.240 --> 0:11:07.559 tackle to you know, do they need to have get 0:11:07.559 --> 0:11:10.160 a veteran in here? Because so many things have sort 0:11:10.200 --> 0:11:13.120 of happened at that position. All right, we're gonna do 0:11:13.160 --> 0:11:16.120 this real quick before we get into the roster. We're 0:11:16.120 --> 0:11:18.319 gonna go ahead and take a quick early break and 0:11:18.559 --> 0:11:20.640 then when we come back, we're gonna talk about the roster. 0:11:20.720 --> 0:11:23.120 We're gonna start with that quarterback position, because the backup 0:11:23.200 --> 0:11:26.200 quarterback is one of the positions that everybody's talking about 0:11:26.280 --> 0:11:28.760 right now. And I'll have the question for this get 0:11:28.760 --> 0:11:31.200 for this group as to whether the quarterback that will 0:11:31.200 --> 0:11:33.880 back up ask Dak Prescott is on the roster or 0:11:33.920 --> 0:11:36.560 should be on the roster currently. We'll talk about that 0:11:36.559 --> 0:11:38.679 when come right back. This is Dallas Cowboys dot Com Radio. 0:11:39.559 --> 0:11:41.480 Before there was a draft.

It looks really really good. You know, 0:14:15.760 --> 0:14:17.680 a great place to hang out before the game, after 0:14:17.679 --> 0:14:19.640 the game. You know what I love is that if 0:14:19.680 --> 0:14:23.680 you just put AstroTurf down and like a star draw, 0:14:23.880 --> 0:14:25.760 people want to run on it, they want to work 0:14:25.760 --> 0:14:27.640 out on it.

I mean, you get get 0:14:29.760 --> 0:14:32.480 people that just say, I'm going to do my workouts today. 0:14:32.560 --> 0:14:34.680 You know, maybe they're thinking that somebody's going to be 0:14:34.680 --> 0:14:36.320 looking down and go, oh, that guy's got a good, 0:14:36.360 --> 0:14:39.200 nice forty time or whatever. But you'll see people working 0:14:39.240 --> 0:14:41.240 out there and it's it's just funny how it's like 0:14:41.360 --> 0:14:44.560 AstroTurf leads people to come do stuff. Got a little 0:14:44.560 --> 0:14:47.120 cornhole down there. Yeah, obviously can do all that with 0:14:47.200 --> 0:14:50.280 a fresh cold mill of lights, so I'm not bad. 0:14:50.280 --> 0:14:53.280 I'm bringing Chris Beam, our producer. If there's there's cornhole 0:14:53.360 --> 0:14:56.440 going on, Chris Beam, he's like a champion, he is. 0:14:56.600 --> 0:14:59.040 He is. All right, So let's actually do it right 0:14:59.080 --> 0:15:01.640 outside your door or at training campus. What I really 0:15:01.680 --> 0:15:04.120 want to happen. Don't get me started. All right, We're 0:15:04.120 --> 0:15:06.000 gonna talk about the fifty three man roster. Here's what 0:15:06.000 --> 0:15:07.640 we're gonna do. We're gonna this is how we're gonna 0:15:07.640 --> 0:15:09.920 do the cuts. I'm gonna go through each position I'm 0:15:09.920 --> 0:15:12.880 gonna tell you guys who I think are definits like this, 0:15:12.880 --> 0:15:15.920 this person is definitely on the team. Um, and I'll 0:15:15.960 --> 0:15:17.800 make sure you guys don't have others that are in 0:15:17.840 --> 0:15:19.600 the maybe column that you think should be on the 0:15:19.640 --> 0:15:22.000 definite column. Once we do that, then we'll figure out 0:15:22.040 --> 0:15:23.840 what our number is, and then we'll back into the 0:15:23.880 --> 0:15:27.160 final few spots of who we think should make the team. 0:15:28.120 --> 0:15:30.400 I've got it. If you're going to write it down 0:15:30.400 --> 0:15:32.160 there now, you can write it down so real quick. 0:15:32.240 --> 0:15:33.480 Let's just get it out of the way. We know 0:15:33.560 --> 0:15:36.400 the three specialists. We know Greggs are Aline as the kicker, 0:15:36.440 --> 0:15:40.440 Brian Anger as a punter, and dude, that's ironic that 0:15:40.520 --> 0:15:44.600 you started not that's ironic. I mean, I don't know. Man, 0:15:44.760 --> 0:15:48.840 we'll get Let's be careful because that is true. Just 0:15:49.800 --> 0:15:52.960 keep your eye on what the rams. Just keep around 0:15:53.000 --> 0:15:54.560 the Rams, just keep your eye on what they may 0:15:54.640 --> 0:15:57.280 or may not decide to do with their specialists, because 0:15:57.320 --> 0:15:59.600 we've got every other former Ram over. That's I mean, 0:15:59.760 --> 0:16:01.400 if we can get if we can get the whole 0:16:01.400 --> 0:16:05.920 band back together, then when then why wouldn't we Okay, 0:16:05.920 --> 0:16:08.920 I know I'm the same way, and it actually borderline 0:16:08.960 --> 0:16:13.480 pissing me off that that situation because it's so it's 0:16:13.520 --> 0:16:16.840 so arrogant of like, let's just do all this. The 0:16:17.000 --> 0:16:20.600 Rams have let all of them go, the coach, the kicker, 0:16:20.760 --> 0:16:23.320 the snapper, and then who knows what happens with the punter, 0:16:23.360 --> 0:16:26.080 but they let them all go. Yeah, but now it's like, well, 0:16:26.120 --> 0:16:28.040 let's they all work together, and let's just put them 0:16:28.040 --> 0:16:30.240 all together. And I don't know, Anger has done everything 0:16:30.240 --> 0:16:31.880 he needs to do. He needs to be the punter, 0:16:32.400 --> 0:16:35.600 isn't there Just there's always a coach that It was 0:16:35.680 --> 0:16:39.440 Marinelli for years. Bisaccio was the same way, Like those 0:16:39.480 --> 0:16:42.000 are the three guys. There's gonna be a veteran punter 0:16:42.040 --> 0:16:45.320 on the team, and it's probably Brianing. We knows their line, zirline. 0:16:45.400 --> 0:16:48.400 We do know, and we we're pretty sure about Jake McQuaid. 0:16:48.440 --> 0:16:51.760 I'm pretty sure there no no that those are fine. Okay, yeah, 0:16:52.200 --> 0:16:54.440 I don't know. You guys probably gonna be those three. 0:16:54.520 --> 0:16:57.440 There's just there's just something to keep an eye on something. 0:16:57.480 --> 0:16:59.080 We know there's been three spots. They'll be taken for 0:16:59.080 --> 0:17:03.560 the specialists. Just say, wasted more time than you wanted 0:17:03.640 --> 0:17:05.359 for that exactly I thought I was gonna run right 0:17:05.359 --> 0:17:07.159 through that, all right, So let's talk about quarterback. We 0:17:07.200 --> 0:17:10.480 know obviously Dak Prescott. The question in becomes, who is 0:17:10.480 --> 0:17:13.080 the backup? You've got Garrett Gilbert, you got Cooper Rush. 0:17:13.119 --> 0:17:16.639 Who do you guys think should emerge as the backup 0:17:16.680 --> 0:17:18.800 quarterback for this team. I feel like I'm taking crazy 0:17:18.800 --> 0:17:23.359 pills because over one week, everybody just flipped to Cooper Rush, 0:17:23.480 --> 0:17:25.840 and I'm just like, what's wrong with Garrett? Like, what 0:17:25.880 --> 0:17:27.600 did he what did he do that was so bad? 0:17:27.760 --> 0:17:30.280 I don't know. So not to say like I don't 0:17:30.280 --> 0:17:33.440 think he's amazing, I'm you know, so it's it's six 0:17:33.520 --> 0:17:35.119 and one half a dozen to the other. You probably 0:17:35.119 --> 0:17:37.080 don't feel great about it regardless of who they pick. 0:17:37.200 --> 0:17:39.520 But I'm just I'm gonna ride with double G because 0:17:39.560 --> 0:17:43.920 I don't think he really did anything wrong to lose it. Okay, Nick, 0:17:44.920 --> 0:17:50.200 it's just heads tales at this point that they're very similar. Um, 0:17:50.320 --> 0:17:52.520 we were talking a little bit off, you know, and 0:17:52.640 --> 0:17:55.600 like during the commercial, I I agree, you know, Gilbert's 0:17:55.640 --> 0:17:57.920 done it in a game, and he looked pretty good 0:17:57.960 --> 0:18:00.720 doing it. Based off the circumstance answer this, Coop Rush 0:18:00.720 --> 0:18:03.800 hasn't had that opportunity to do that. Cooper's been das 0:18:04.200 --> 0:18:06.840 back up before. I I mean, I might even ask 0:18:06.880 --> 0:18:09.560 the quarterback on this one privately, just what do you 0:18:09.640 --> 0:18:11.480 what do you think? What do you want? But I'll 0:18:11.480 --> 0:18:14.080 say this, if it's if, if if I have a 0:18:14.119 --> 0:18:17.960 third option, that's That's what I'm doing. I'm gonna I'm 0:18:17.960 --> 0:18:19.879 trying to get it. I'm gonna go get a veteran. 0:18:19.920 --> 0:18:22.120 Would you guys get somebody better than these two? Would 0:18:22.119 --> 0:18:24.720 you consider giving up picks? Yes, to go out and 0:18:24.760 --> 0:18:27.359 get some late round Yeah, as long as it's stay three, Yeah, 0:18:27.400 --> 0:18:29.760 I'll do. I'll do what the Eagles did, and not 0:18:29.800 --> 0:18:32.320 only they doesn't even have to be that guy. I 0:18:32.359 --> 0:18:34.240 mean a guy like that. It could be a guy 0:18:34.280 --> 0:18:37.840 that started that's had moderate success. If he's available, I'm 0:18:37.840 --> 0:18:40.560 looking to do that. And that means I might have 0:18:40.600 --> 0:18:43.920 three quarterbacks for week one or you know, because he's 0:18:43.960 --> 0:18:45.639 not gonna learn the offense and all that, so I 0:18:45.720 --> 0:18:47.359 might have three quarterbacks for a week one. That's why 0:18:47.359 --> 0:18:49.680 when we talked about Kelvin Joseph things like that, you 0:18:49.760 --> 0:18:52.119 might have to manage the roster early on the season 0:18:52.160 --> 0:18:54.320 with an injury like that because I might need to 0:18:54.320 --> 0:18:58.040 carry three quarterbacks for a game, you know, I mean, 0:18:58.280 --> 0:18:59.919 maybe not for a game, but three on the row. 0:19:00.080 --> 0:19:03.280 St I wish they could have done the Minshew trade. Yeah, 0:19:03.320 --> 0:19:05.560 I'm awesome. And I thought I would have done it 0:19:05.640 --> 0:19:07.800 thinking that Minshew was in the last year of his deal, 0:19:07.840 --> 0:19:09.440 and then I looked it up and realized he's got 0:19:09.480 --> 0:19:12.480 two years left. So that's on a rookie deal. Sixth 0:19:12.560 --> 0:19:16.800 round pick for a experienced starting quarterback to be your backup. 0:19:16.880 --> 0:19:19.440 For got at something like, he's not He's not horrible guy, 0:19:19.680 --> 0:19:23.800 that's better than the guy to have. I mean, oh, 0:19:23.800 --> 0:19:25.760 you're talking about the Eagles. Oh yeah, I got you. Yeah, 0:19:25.800 --> 0:19:28.560 I mean I mean I like Hurts. Yeah, I don't 0:19:28.560 --> 0:19:30.439 think he's better Hurts, but yeah, I don't. But I 0:19:30.480 --> 0:19:32.840 think he's I think he's up there, in my opinion, 0:19:33.080 --> 0:19:35.000 he's up there with some of the better backups in 0:19:35.000 --> 0:19:38.040 the league. It's a mood point. But I would be 0:19:38.080 --> 0:19:41.240 willing to part with the fifth, sixth, seventh round pick too, 0:19:41.440 --> 0:19:43.640 if if there was somebody out there that they could get. 0:19:43.680 --> 0:19:46.440
