1 00:00:06,040 --> 00:00:11,800 Speaker 1: This he's Talking Cowboys training live from Dallas Cowboys Training 2 00:00:11,880 --> 00:00:23,800 Speaker 1: Camp in Hawnsnard, California. Here are Mickey Spagnola, Brian Brauns, 3 00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:29,080 Speaker 1: Rob Phillips, and Bill Jones. And it is day number 4 00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:32,960 Speaker 1: four of Cowboys Camp, two thousand nineteen, Day number five 5 00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:35,919 Speaker 1: of Zeke Watch, because we count the travel day as 6 00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:38,639 Speaker 1: a Zeke Watch day as well. While back on Thursday. 7 00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:41,200 Speaker 1: It's a new week for all of you out there, 8 00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:44,280 Speaker 1: and it's a new edition of Talking Cowboys, the second 9 00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:48,120 Speaker 1: for us here in this two thousand nineteen training camp. 10 00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:50,640 Speaker 1: But the biggest news of all is they put on 11 00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:53,240 Speaker 1: the pads today. That makes it a big day here. 12 00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:57,720 Speaker 1: I just wrote down Pa d s Pat's pads past 13 00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:01,520 Speaker 1: Missouri Education. Doing you well? Finally, Yeah, I think I 14 00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:04,120 Speaker 1: could have watched another one or those. I'm sorry, did you? 15 00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:06,200 Speaker 1: But did you get anything out of you were talking 16 00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:10,000 Speaker 1: about earlier about guys lining up and rotations and stuff 17 00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:12,960 Speaker 1: like that, and you could see, yeah, where guys are 18 00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:16,080 Speaker 1: kind of where they are right in the rotation, like 19 00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:18,640 Speaker 1: whose first, second, or third? And that's all great. And 20 00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:21,400 Speaker 1: in one day though I could do that, I don't 21 00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:23,360 Speaker 1: know if I needed another day. You can see them 22 00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:25,720 Speaker 1: in the walkthrough too. Yes, so, I mean we've seen 23 00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:28,840 Speaker 1: two of those times. It's time to It's time to 24 00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:31,520 Speaker 1: see these linemen go head to head. That's all. The 25 00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:36,560 Speaker 1: walkthrough is more valuable to me than the other the 26 00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:40,000 Speaker 1: afternoon practice, just because they lined up and you could 27 00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:43,080 Speaker 1: see where they're playing different players against and against against 28 00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:45,360 Speaker 1: each other. Not that they did anything, Yeah, it was 29 00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:47,440 Speaker 1: just skeletons. You know. The things I was getting out 30 00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:51,800 Speaker 1: of the two practices that we watched were offensively, we're 31 00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:55,400 Speaker 1: about spacing, We're about route combinations. We're okay, we've seen 32 00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:58,960 Speaker 1: something different from Kellen Moore that we haven't seen before 33 00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:01,720 Speaker 1: with Scott Linehan. To me, it seems like better route 34 00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:05,760 Speaker 1: combinations as far as okay, I get now why they're 35 00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:09,840 Speaker 1: running the slants, running this, the outside guys running this. Okay, 36 00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:11,400 Speaker 1: you got the back on the swing. Oh wait, we 37 00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:14,000 Speaker 1: got the tied end doing this. I'm starting to see 38 00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:17,880 Speaker 1: things differently that way. If you want to just just say, okay, 39 00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:21,440 Speaker 1: just give me something to look at. I've noticed that 40 00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:24,960 Speaker 1: Dak Prescott and these quarterbacks have had more area to 41 00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:27,960 Speaker 1: throw it. Again, we'll have defense defenders getting on these 42 00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:29,959 Speaker 1: guys and stuff and We'll see if those windows shrink. 43 00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:34,079 Speaker 1: But at least I've seen spacing that I haven't seen before, 44 00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:36,880 Speaker 1: and I think that that itself. We all talked about 45 00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:41,320 Speaker 1: pre snap motion. We've talked about different looks moving personnel around, 46 00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:43,600 Speaker 1: maybe using the fullback a little bit more than what 47 00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:46,600 Speaker 1: we've seen in the past. But I've just noticed a 48 00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:51,119 Speaker 1: little bit better of space for these receivers and Dak 49 00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:53,320 Speaker 1: Prescott to get that ball into To your point, that 50 00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:56,800 Speaker 1: was an emphasis Jason Garrett was making to the receivers yesterday. 51 00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:59,200 Speaker 1: I mean, getting on them about their spacing, making sure 52 00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:02,360 Speaker 1: it's precise. And he said, I said something really interesting 53 00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:05,440 Speaker 1: in the press conference yesterday that he's he's acknowledged he's 54 00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:08,200 Speaker 1: spending more time with that side of the ball than 55 00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:10,079 Speaker 1: the defense. And when you think about it, it makes 56 00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:12,920 Speaker 1: a lot of sense. Kellen Moore, all these coaches that 57 00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:16,600 Speaker 1: are pretty you know, Mark Colombo, first year guy, John Kittna, 58 00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:19,120 Speaker 1: work with those guys because that's where the most changes 59 00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:21,440 Speaker 1: on us fire in his second year here. Yeah, and 60 00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:23,400 Speaker 1: then on you look on the defensive side, when they 61 00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:26,200 Speaker 1: had pretty well established last year what they could do 62 00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:28,840 Speaker 1: with the combination of Marinelli, you know, Yeah, the the 63 00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:32,839 Speaker 1: offensive skilled players better be in good shape because as 64 00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:36,480 Speaker 1: much motion as there. Yeah, think he's right, they better 65 00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:38,680 Speaker 1: not be tired by the time they have to get 66 00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:41,960 Speaker 1: off the line of scrimmage because they're using the lot 67 00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:46,280 Speaker 1: you mentioned the full back right, Yeah, he better catch 68 00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:48,160 Speaker 1: the ball like he's catching it out here when they 69 00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:52,600 Speaker 1: throw it to him, like he did against Indianapolis. Show 70 00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:57,360 Speaker 1: but they got one shot for glory. He is not 71 00:03:57,520 --> 00:04:00,440 Speaker 1: a stationary player. They've got him in the slot. They 72 00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:03,080 Speaker 1: motioned them to the fullback spot. They motioned them out. 73 00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:05,160 Speaker 1: The first time we talked to Kellen Moore as the 74 00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:07,640 Speaker 1: new OC and OTAs the first guy out of his 75 00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:11,480 Speaker 1: that he named out of his mouth. Ola Maze very 76 00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:13,760 Speaker 1: versatile in Oakland. Well, we didn't really see that last year, 77 00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:15,720 Speaker 1: so maybe that's something different. Well what you're also seeing 78 00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:19,159 Speaker 1: too yesterday. If you notice this Jason Witten and Blake Jarwin, 79 00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:21,719 Speaker 1: him playing wide and then all of a sudden motioning 80 00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:24,640 Speaker 1: in and so he's trying to create He's trying to 81 00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:27,600 Speaker 1: create opportunities. If you're one of those teams that will 82 00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:30,160 Speaker 1: bump your best corner all the way to the tight 83 00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:32,400 Speaker 1: end or all the way out to a back out there, 84 00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:35,040 Speaker 1: and now you put a lesser player in on, say 85 00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:38,640 Speaker 1: Randall Cobb, or you put somebody lesser on on Cooper. 86 00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:42,720 Speaker 1: You know, he's testing some some theories here that Okay, 87 00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:44,840 Speaker 1: if I move, maybe he's getting ready for somebody in 88 00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:47,479 Speaker 1: his mind that's gonna bump that corner all the way 89 00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:49,880 Speaker 1: out and like, okay, I'm gonna run this play when 90 00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:51,719 Speaker 1: they when they put a lesser corner in there. But 91 00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:54,200 Speaker 1: I've also noticed this guy's when they run the boots 92 00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:56,040 Speaker 1: in the waggles, what have you seen? He's always kind 93 00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:58,800 Speaker 1: of seen a tight end drag, tight end, drag, tight 94 00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:01,840 Speaker 1: end over the top. He's using wide receivers for this 95 00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:04,360 Speaker 1: he's using. I mean, yesterday he ran a really little 96 00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:06,880 Speaker 1: Night's Little design. And I've seen Randall Kyle run this 97 00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:10,400 Speaker 1: play in Green Bay where he motions all the way outside, 98 00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:12,480 Speaker 1: stops at the wing, and then comes all the way 99 00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:14,720 Speaker 1: back across, and then Rogers hits him for that thing. 100 00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:16,599 Speaker 1: All of a sudden, you've got all the trash inside. 101 00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:19,240 Speaker 1: He's the defenders stuck, and now you got a guy 102 00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:23,599 Speaker 1: better run after the catch guy. And that's that's where 103 00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:26,120 Speaker 1: I think a little bit more creative for me, don't 104 00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:29,479 Speaker 1: throw the ball to Dalton Schultz and he lumbers around 105 00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:31,279 Speaker 1: for you know, it's a it's a play that could 106 00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:34,080 Speaker 1: have gone for twenty five yards, but it goes for 107 00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:36,760 Speaker 1: for ten because you got a kind of a lumbery guy. 108 00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:39,359 Speaker 1: Get it the ball to a back or a or 109 00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:42,480 Speaker 1: a receiver that can run after catch, that can run 110 00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:45,479 Speaker 1: after catch and get you a bigger gain on the play, 111 00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:47,000 Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. And I think a lot 112 00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:49,520 Speaker 1: of people think, because Kellen Moore is young, we're gonna 113 00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:54,800 Speaker 1: have this sky sky Wars offense, Star Wars, Star Wars, Skywars. 114 00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:58,640 Speaker 1: I saw that movie too, Sky Sky nineteen seventy seven. 115 00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:02,680 Speaker 1: I wish can't could hear that right now? God bless him. 116 00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:06,479 Speaker 1: Yeah he might be listening. He might be somebody else 117 00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:08,920 Speaker 1: out there should be listening every morning at nine o'clock. 118 00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:11,840 Speaker 1: There a lot of two tight end offense too, And 119 00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:15,279 Speaker 1: Blake Jarwin is incorporated to this deal. And I think 120 00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:18,360 Speaker 1: it's a neat deal because Blake Jarwin has shown he 121 00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:22,560 Speaker 1: can get downfield, which will open up good eyes. So 122 00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:26,600 Speaker 1: uh yeah, don't don't think that they're there. This is 123 00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:29,640 Speaker 1: like twenty twenty five offense. You know, this is back 124 00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:32,240 Speaker 1: to two tight ends, which just gets back to a 125 00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:35,400 Speaker 1: lot of people were concerned with Whitten, who are Witten 126 00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:39,280 Speaker 1: critics that yeah, you can't get him off the field, 127 00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:42,000 Speaker 1: you know, and that sort of thing. But they're gonna 128 00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:44,520 Speaker 1: have the two tight end formation just like they've had 129 00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:47,239 Speaker 1: in the past. And so and then what you hope 130 00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:50,560 Speaker 1: is Jarwin can block also like he got better? Has 131 00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:53,440 Speaker 1: he gotten better at it? We'll start finding out. Yeah, 132 00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:57,400 Speaker 1: all right, So last night Jerry Jones did his little 133 00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:01,640 Speaker 1: TV car wash and went very well for Bill. I 134 00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:04,640 Speaker 1: got to at least listen to that one. Oh you did, Bill? 135 00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:09,080 Speaker 1: You weren't there for when it happened? Were you or 136 00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:14,000 Speaker 1: were you? He was hiding behind the trash can anywhere? Okay, okay, 137 00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:17,640 Speaker 1: Oh so you don't have direct TV or no. Yeah, 138 00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:23,600 Speaker 1: but they're they're they're limiting my Ranger games. Okay, well, okay, 139 00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:26,200 Speaker 1: aside from that Jerry breaking down. But but but the 140 00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:28,400 Speaker 1: reason I brought that up is that CBS is not 141 00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:31,280 Speaker 1: being carried by at a tu verse and direct TV 142 00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:35,640 Speaker 1: right now. Um, you know the I thought the well, 143 00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:38,640 Speaker 1: I'll let you also say what you thought. The most 144 00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:42,800 Speaker 1: interesting thing from Jerry was. But in regard to Zeke Uh. 145 00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:46,840 Speaker 1: He brought up the fact that even though my question 146 00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:49,960 Speaker 1: to him, you have limited time, you got with six 147 00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:53,040 Speaker 1: minutes six minutes, and by the way, there's no time 148 00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:56,800 Speaker 1: to stop watch exactly so, because what they do is 149 00:07:56,840 --> 00:08:00,320 Speaker 1: they had all four local Dallas Boards stations at San 150 00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:03,360 Speaker 1: Antonio stations do it so. I mean, Jerry was sitting 151 00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:05,920 Speaker 1: there at the gazebo area here at the residents end 152 00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:10,520 Speaker 1: for an hour straight just talking to a car wash 153 00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:13,920 Speaker 1: of different sportscasters that came through. I was the fourth 154 00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:17,080 Speaker 1: end line. See, there's no real chance for follow ups 155 00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:18,960 Speaker 1: if you want to get every topic in that you 156 00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:23,400 Speaker 1: want in six minutes with Jerry. But the interesting thing 157 00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:26,920 Speaker 1: I thought with Zeke, the question I asked him was, 158 00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:31,160 Speaker 1: is Zeke to this Cowboys team what Emmett was to 159 00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:34,560 Speaker 1: the Cowboys team of the nineties. And he took it 160 00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:38,120 Speaker 1: and ran with it. As far as the Super Bowl goes, 161 00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:40,839 Speaker 1: right off the bat well the differences. Emmett won a 162 00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:45,520 Speaker 1: super Bowl, multiple Super Bowls. One of the things though, 163 00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:48,360 Speaker 1: that I thought found most interesting in his answer in 164 00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:52,320 Speaker 1: regards to the negotiations with the Zeke team is that 165 00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:55,600 Speaker 1: it's been proven over time that you don't have to 166 00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:58,800 Speaker 1: have a rushing champion to win a super Bowl. He 167 00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:02,960 Speaker 1: did point that out prominently after he pointed out that 168 00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:06,920 Speaker 1: Emmett Smith was the first NFL rushing champion to win 169 00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:09,560 Speaker 1: a super Bowight, he was the first NFL rushing champion 170 00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:12,320 Speaker 1: to win a super Bowl, And he was rather emphatic 171 00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:15,719 Speaker 1: what he said that. But he said, but it's been 172 00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:18,840 Speaker 1: proven over time that you do not need a rushing 173 00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:21,160 Speaker 1: champion to win a super Bowl. And his point is 174 00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:25,160 Speaker 1: we're building a super Bowl team, and when we allocate 175 00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:28,120 Speaker 1: funds to all these players, we have to have enough 176 00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:32,800 Speaker 1: money to field an entire team. Didn't we question the 177 00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:37,920 Speaker 1: selection of Zeke Elliott three four years ago? No? No, 178 00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:43,800 Speaker 1: why not? Why not? I don't question it because he's 179 00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:48,319 Speaker 1: such a good guys watched him perform these last three years. 180 00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:52,000 Speaker 1: Then why not extend him. They will extend him, but 181 00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:56,320 Speaker 1: not probably for we don't know what they're asking for sure, right, No, 182 00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:58,960 Speaker 1: I'm just saying, And man, that's what Jerry's point was. 183 00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:01,520 Speaker 1: I think it wasn't the point you don't need a 184 00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:04,920 Speaker 1: star running back. It was we need other things too. 185 00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:07,320 Speaker 1: I can't just be the I'm on board. I'm on board. 186 00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:09,000 Speaker 1: This is I'm one of the guys who'd like to 187 00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:11,679 Speaker 1: see Zeke get into So what what you need to 188 00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:15,959 Speaker 1: find out is what are they asking for? Okay, this 189 00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:18,400 Speaker 1: this is the This is turning into the same discussion 190 00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:21,040 Speaker 1: we had with DeMarcus Lawrence. It's the same thing. There's 191 00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:23,160 Speaker 1: an end pass. Well, we don't really know how far 192 00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:26,160 Speaker 1: apart they are, right, And and then it comes to 193 00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:31,880 Speaker 1: your point like, yeah, Jerry did allude to uh was 194 00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:37,479 Speaker 1: he's got a plan in place right to avoid a 195 00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:40,200 Speaker 1: a holdout that will last into the regular season. Okay, 196 00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:42,559 Speaker 1: and that's good. That's good because I'm with Brian. They 197 00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:44,720 Speaker 1: need to resign. I lost my tranth. Where I was 198 00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:49,120 Speaker 1: going was in terms of DeMarcus wanted a certain amount. 199 00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:53,280 Speaker 1: Stephen Jones' point was, look, we're trying, like to what 200 00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:55,520 Speaker 1: you said, Bill, we're trying to build a super Bowl. 201 00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:58,560 Speaker 1: We need to spread it around. And the law said, 202 00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:00,960 Speaker 1: that's not my problem. It's not my problem problem. Yeah, 203 00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:03,920 Speaker 1: I'm I'm been to two Pro Bowls. Yeah, And Zeke's argument, 204 00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:06,920 Speaker 1: I'm not talking to him right now, but his argument 205 00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:08,880 Speaker 1: is I should probably be a three time rushing champ 206 00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:11,320 Speaker 1: right now. I'm the best back in the NFL. So 207 00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:12,960 Speaker 1: how do you how do you meet in the middle? Now, 208 00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:15,960 Speaker 1: Lawrence and the Cowboys eventually did, but there's an impass 209 00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:19,760 Speaker 1: right now based on market. To your point, they'll meet 210 00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:23,160 Speaker 1: in the middle. They will meet, but right now, yeah, 211 00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:25,600 Speaker 1: but if they but if if this turned into something, 212 00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:27,760 Speaker 1: I'm glad to hear you say that he had a plan, 213 00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:31,120 Speaker 1: because if this is going to turn into Zeke being 214 00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:34,760 Speaker 1: stubborn and hold out the entire ye, then now you're 215 00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:37,360 Speaker 1: in a situation and you're absolutely I'm just saying as 216 00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:40,240 Speaker 1: far as team building, I'm with you, Mickey did as 217 00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:43,240 Speaker 1: many great players as you can. This has turned into 218 00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:46,200 Speaker 1: it's it's a great situation to have, but it's also 219 00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:48,560 Speaker 1: a curse. You have to sign all these guys, and 220 00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:50,959 Speaker 1: all these guys do make Pro Bowls and are all 221 00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:53,760 Speaker 1: pro and do help you win football games. But I'm 222 00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:57,760 Speaker 1: just saying, though, if it's a situation where your attitude 223 00:11:57,880 --> 00:12:02,560 Speaker 1: is we've won super Bowls without it's proven it. You know, 224 00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:06,000 Speaker 1: a great running back is not the recipe. If you're 225 00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:09,720 Speaker 1: if that's our attitude, then you should have drafted someone else. 226 00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:12,559 Speaker 1: You should have said, Okay, we could take a good 227 00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:14,760 Speaker 1: running back, not a great running back at four. We 228 00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:17,520 Speaker 1: could take a good running back at at fifty seven 229 00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:20,360 Speaker 1: or at sixty two or at whatever. I don't question 230 00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:22,520 Speaker 1: it to answer your question, Brian, because I'm glad they 231 00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:25,880 Speaker 1: drafted Yeah, because because one, he is the best back 232 00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:28,520 Speaker 1: in the league. Arguably he's he's living, he's lived up 233 00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:31,360 Speaker 1: to that Moniker or that draft status number two. At 234 00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:34,760 Speaker 1: the time, why they drafted him. The shape of the 235 00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:37,720 Speaker 1: roster was to help an aging Tony Romo question, and 236 00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:40,680 Speaker 1: your defense was not at close to the level it 237 00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:44,679 Speaker 1: is right now. They wanted to milk the clock basically 238 00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:48,160 Speaker 1: and play keepaway that way, and he was perfect for 239 00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:51,640 Speaker 1: both sides of the ball. And you know, he's still 240 00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:54,120 Speaker 1: kind of the foundation of what they're doing offensively. I 241 00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:58,120 Speaker 1: imagine when he gets back, it'll get done. You wonder 242 00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:03,320 Speaker 1: if there is a compromise position on a shorter term 243 00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:07,839 Speaker 1: contract of that can get him. I'm starting to hear 244 00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:10,360 Speaker 1: that around the league talking to people at night, that 245 00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:13,360 Speaker 1: these guys that are looking for contracts are looking for 246 00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:17,000 Speaker 1: shorter term deals because of the CBA, because the unknown 247 00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:20,280 Speaker 1: of the CBA, And so if guys are taking shorter 248 00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:23,680 Speaker 1: term deals, Rob, you're the NBA guy here, we've seen 249 00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:26,640 Speaker 1: guys take shorter contracts to get the free agency quicker. 250 00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:28,880 Speaker 1: They signed what one or two year deals or something 251 00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:32,840 Speaker 1: like that. Yeah, or anticipating a cap spike exactly exactly. 252 00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:34,720 Speaker 1: So there's a lot of guys around the league that 253 00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:37,720 Speaker 1: are thinking that, Okay, the new collective bargaining agreement is 254 00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:39,320 Speaker 1: going to be there's going to be a big jump, 255 00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:42,000 Speaker 1: and I don't want to be caught behind that jump. 256 00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:46,600 Speaker 1: So maybe by what you're saying, there is to make Yeah, 257 00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:49,040 Speaker 1: there's instead of a six year deal, there's a two 258 00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:51,800 Speaker 1: three year deal that you could kind of work on 259 00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:54,520 Speaker 1: to get to the next level. But I'm guessing a 260 00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:57,960 Speaker 1: running back wants that long term deal. Yeah, I would say, 261 00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:00,319 Speaker 1: there's no question. I mean, we had a great mail 262 00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:04,080 Speaker 1: bad question yesterday about that, which should should running backs 263 00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:06,800 Speaker 1: because of the way they're devalued as they say, And 264 00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:09,079 Speaker 1: I'm not one of the de valuers. I think a 265 00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:12,080 Speaker 1: running back is huge, hugely important if that's a right 266 00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:15,640 Speaker 1: word describe a running back. But the question was should 267 00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:19,920 Speaker 1: running backs get more guaranteed money in their first couple 268 00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:21,920 Speaker 1: of years here deal? But how do you do that? Well? 269 00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:24,760 Speaker 1: My answer is a great thought, but my thought My 270 00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:28,880 Speaker 1: answer was, how do you determine what's the most punishing position. 271 00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:31,240 Speaker 1: You could say it's running back, but linebackers would say, oh, 272 00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:33,440 Speaker 1: it's us. Yeah, you know, we're in a car crash 273 00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:37,240 Speaker 1: every every day, you know. So it's interesting because because 274 00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:41,240 Speaker 1: that is the prevailing thoughts, right, is it firsts first 275 00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:43,240 Speaker 1: round runbacks? Or do you have to prove your worth 276 00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:47,160 Speaker 1: after the first year to get that and get that bump? Well, 277 00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:48,400 Speaker 1: you know, I don't know. I mean that it was 278 00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:50,640 Speaker 1: a good question. I thought. If you look at Zeke, though, 279 00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:53,560 Speaker 1: if you give him a three year deal that means 280 00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:56,360 Speaker 1: he plays through twenty four and twenty five and twenty six. 281 00:14:56,840 --> 00:14:58,440 Speaker 1: The last thing you want to do is a running 282 00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:01,520 Speaker 1: back is hit free agency at tw seven. Yeah, yeah, 283 00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:05,040 Speaker 1: I agree. Yeah, you would rather say, okay, I made 284 00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:09,200 Speaker 1: it to twenty nine and okay if I don't, but 285 00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:12,120 Speaker 1: I got my money. They're just gonna have to guarantee 286 00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:16,800 Speaker 1: him enough money that he says, I'll take all that 287 00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:20,280 Speaker 1: and I won't worry about the end number. The end 288 00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:24,120 Speaker 1: number is insignificant. It's how much guarantee money you get, 289 00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:26,960 Speaker 1: and maybe you guarantee the whole thing. If that's the 290 00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:33,280 Speaker 1: way to do the quarter. Yeah, yeah, I give you 291 00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:37,440 Speaker 1: four four years for fifty million, and you say, okay, 292 00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:40,600 Speaker 1: and it's all guaranteed. Yeah, that's pretty good because he 293 00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:44,560 Speaker 1: is girls was guaranteed. I got to look that up. Oh, 294 00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:47,920 Speaker 1: I just know that it was fourteen something per year, 295 00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:49,960 Speaker 1: but I don't know. I got a guarantee on and 296 00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:54,600 Speaker 1: he right now, right now, if if they just came 297 00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:57,680 Speaker 1: back and played between the money he would make this 298 00:15:57,760 --> 00:16:02,320 Speaker 1: year next year and two friends chise tags, he would 299 00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:05,400 Speaker 1: be guaranteed forty four million over four years. Now, that's 300 00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:07,640 Speaker 1: only eleven million a year. You're gonna have to up that, 301 00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:11,280 Speaker 1: but it's guaranteed, it's guaranteed. Todd Gurley's is forty five 302 00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:15,120 Speaker 1: guaranteed four year. His is four years, fifty seven and 303 00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:17,240 Speaker 1: a half million dollars signed a year ago at this 304 00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:22,200 Speaker 1: time and guaranteed. It's signing was twenty one nine total 305 00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:25,520 Speaker 1: guarantee forty five million, right, So okay, And you don't 306 00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:28,600 Speaker 1: know what the back end of the base salaries are. 307 00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:32,640 Speaker 1: And again they have to adhere to the thirty percent 308 00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:36,160 Speaker 1: rule on the base salaries. And that complicates this thing 309 00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:39,600 Speaker 1: because you can't hide it all in a couple of 310 00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:42,840 Speaker 1: years there's the back end of the base salary. It's 311 00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:45,880 Speaker 1: at his last year twenty twenty three is seven point 312 00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:48,400 Speaker 1: four million with a five million dollar roster bonus. So 313 00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:51,880 Speaker 1: that's twelve million basically on its last year. Because to 314 00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:56,040 Speaker 1: your point about isn't Demarcus's first year base pretty low? 315 00:16:56,480 --> 00:16:59,040 Speaker 1: It's one point five million, and then it goes to 316 00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:03,280 Speaker 1: sixteen next year. Well, you can't do that between twenty 317 00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:05,920 Speaker 1: twenty and twenty twenty one, right, right, So that's where 318 00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:09,679 Speaker 1: you're getting that if the structure is important too, and 319 00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:12,879 Speaker 1: you hope the agent understands what the structure part of 320 00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:17,080 Speaker 1: this is because unless there is a new CBA before 321 00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:22,080 Speaker 1: twenty twenty, then and again it runs through twenty twenty. 322 00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:23,879 Speaker 1: But if they don't get ahead of it, then you 323 00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:26,560 Speaker 1: got to adhere to that thirty percent rule. Are we 324 00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:30,159 Speaker 1: more worried about Zeke's off the field or his health 325 00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:37,680 Speaker 1: in a long term deal? I think naturally you are 326 00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:40,520 Speaker 1: more concerned about the health of a running back. But 327 00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:43,680 Speaker 1: it was proven here with Emmett that a running back 328 00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:49,280 Speaker 1: can stay healthy and yeah, yeah, and Zeke has shown 329 00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:53,040 Speaker 1: so far that he is healthy as can be. It appears, 330 00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:55,480 Speaker 1: has not missed a game new injury correct, And I 331 00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:58,080 Speaker 1: think that guys like Eddie George that played ten years, 332 00:17:58,359 --> 00:18:02,400 Speaker 1: you know, productive backs and stuff like that, I think 333 00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:04,040 Speaker 1: I'm more I would be more worried if I was 334 00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:06,360 Speaker 1: a Cowboy fan or the front office. I think I'd 335 00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:08,560 Speaker 1: be more worried about the off field than I would 336 00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:12,240 Speaker 1: the health myself. Right, but think about it, the really 337 00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:15,800 Speaker 1: good running backs, like not just a running back, I 338 00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:19,680 Speaker 1: mean the top level running backs. Usually they're not bothered 339 00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:22,280 Speaker 1: by injury. They're not right, They're not you don't see 340 00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:32,720 Speaker 1: a light. But with No, he had issues, don't Hopefully 341 00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:36,480 Speaker 1: nobody in my room can hear me. Curly had knee 342 00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:41,240 Speaker 1: problems before, right, That's why he lasted as long as 343 00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:43,400 Speaker 1: he did in the draft because of the knee problems 344 00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:47,040 Speaker 1: at Georgia. And he had already had had his knees 345 00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:53,160 Speaker 1: operated on. So you got to take that into considering A. Yeah, 346 00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:56,080 Speaker 1: he should have been. He should have been one of 347 00:18:56,119 --> 00:18:59,600 Speaker 1: my one of my favorite. If you gave me a 348 00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:03,560 Speaker 1: Tracey between him and Zeke, I take I take Girly now, 349 00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:07,520 Speaker 1: even okay, even with the injury coming out of school. No, 350 00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:10,600 Speaker 1: I'm saying right now, oh no, no, no, I would 351 00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:12,280 Speaker 1: take I would take Sea, but coming out of college, 352 00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:14,800 Speaker 1: I was watching it too. Yeah, to your point, Brian, 353 00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:18,520 Speaker 1: back in the offseason earlier, when when the Vegas thing happened, Yeah, 354 00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:21,560 Speaker 1: the Jones has said that's not affecting these negotiations. But 355 00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:25,280 Speaker 1: you're saying just the possibility of something else coming up 356 00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:28,240 Speaker 1: in the future that could see. That's where I would 357 00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:31,159 Speaker 1: but see, Rob and I were at the Combine and 358 00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:35,080 Speaker 1: Stephen talked about this very thing, about this contract and 359 00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:39,720 Speaker 1: he mentioned girly you know, and if you're listening, you're going, Okay, 360 00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:41,840 Speaker 1: this is where we're at now. Again, Mickey, you've been 361 00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:44,159 Speaker 1: here doing this a thousand years. You've heard the Joneses 362 00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:46,640 Speaker 1: say things, and they've done another. I mean, I get 363 00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:49,280 Speaker 1: that that's part of it. But that got my attention 364 00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:51,040 Speaker 1: to know. The day that we were at the Combine, 365 00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:53,159 Speaker 1: we said, Okay, if that's where it's going to start, 366 00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:56,119 Speaker 1: which's words it's gonna start. Yeah, And so now all 367 00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:58,560 Speaker 1: of a sudden you're thinking, Okay, Mickey's coming up with 368 00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:00,800 Speaker 1: a really good plan of Garrett Tea and stuff, trying 369 00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:03,080 Speaker 1: to get that theme somewhere between ten and eleven million 370 00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:07,440 Speaker 1: dollars a year. Well, that's not girly, that's something that's 371 00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:10,080 Speaker 1: something else and I think it was it Charles Robinson 372 00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:13,080 Speaker 1: for Yah, who had a story yesterday that and this 373 00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:15,359 Speaker 1: is all sourced, you know, and a lot of it's 374 00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:18,800 Speaker 1: around the league information that that teams with good backs 375 00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:21,159 Speaker 1: are trying to reset that market. Yeah, not have it 376 00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:24,720 Speaker 1: started fourteen plus. But that's easier said than done. When 377 00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:26,600 Speaker 1: you're Zeke and you're saying, well, i've been to you know, 378 00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:29,800 Speaker 1: I'm a three time rushing champ, possibly had I not 379 00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:32,280 Speaker 1: been suspended six they look, they look at the deal 380 00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:35,520 Speaker 1: that Kevin Dimoff did in Los Angeles and less sneat 381 00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:38,119 Speaker 1: as a bad one, and they're trying to reset it 382 00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:42,119 Speaker 1: to really what Freeman at with Atlanta. Freeman it was 383 00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:45,440 Speaker 1: like eight million. Maybe it's it's you know, for a Zeke, 384 00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:47,640 Speaker 1: it's got to be more than that. No, but but 385 00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:50,640 Speaker 1: but they're they're thinking about it's everybody's saying, wow, that's 386 00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:53,720 Speaker 1: got to that's a terrible deal. But that's not that's 387 00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:56,040 Speaker 1: not the agents. That's not their fault. The rams are 388 00:20:56,040 --> 00:20:58,800 Speaker 1: the ones that did that deal. And remember what Jerry's 389 00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:02,280 Speaker 1: longest answer was, oh yeah on Friday, Yeah, no question, 390 00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:06,680 Speaker 1: this is us, no question. We don't have the Rams, 391 00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:10,359 Speaker 1: have the Raiders or the Eagles with the Wins deal. Yeah, 392 00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:12,679 Speaker 1: and so that's you know, that's the bottom line. And 393 00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:15,239 Speaker 1: it seems like they're holding strong to it because I 394 00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:17,920 Speaker 1: guarantee you that's what's going on with Melvin Gordon now 395 00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:20,520 Speaker 1: with the Chargers. He's looking at Girly and saying, Okay, 396 00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:23,560 Speaker 1: I'm your guy now I want to be paid like that. Well, 397 00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:25,960 Speaker 1: we have seen in history though, with the Dez Bryant deal. 398 00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:29,240 Speaker 1: Was it the Marius Thomas that once Dez Bryant got 399 00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:32,240 Speaker 1: his deal, the Marus Thomas signed for basically the same 400 00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:35,160 Speaker 1: number right behind him. So we could say that we're 401 00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:37,840 Speaker 1: not looking. But when those numbers come across out of 402 00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:41,560 Speaker 1: Pacifica's desk or Stephen Jones's desk and they go, huh, 403 00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:43,920 Speaker 1: that's a creative way to do that. Okay, let's let's 404 00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:45,719 Speaker 1: try this plan. Right. One of the things they may 405 00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:47,800 Speaker 1: be looking at also on Girly's deal where it was 406 00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:50,040 Speaker 1: a bad deal, is the timing of it by doing it, 407 00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:53,200 Speaker 1: by doing it with two years left on sure the deal, 408 00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:57,159 Speaker 1: which is situations different than what the Cowboys cabsolute. All right, 409 00:21:57,240 --> 00:22:00,240 Speaker 1: So how confident. Is Jerry that a deck deal We'll 410 00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:04,639 Speaker 1: get done very soon. We explore that and much more 411 00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:07,400 Speaker 1: here on Talking Cowboys when we continue in a moment. 412 00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:11,439 Speaker 1: Or has been helping Cowboys fans see better since nineteen 413 00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:13,800 Speaker 1: seventy two, so they don't miss a moment on the field. 414 00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:17,080 Speaker 1: Get classes with slurs, best vision, clarity and protection with 415 00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:21,399 Speaker 1: the Ultimate Lens Package, three innovative technologies in one lens 416 00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:23,679 Speaker 1: for a limited time.

So he's lining up next to the deep snapper, ye, 493 00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:26,679 Speaker 1: protecting and then going down trying to make tackles now, 494 00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:29,760 Speaker 1: not with the first team, right but for depth purposes 495 00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:32,320 Speaker 1: in case they need him. Yeah, and uh, you know, 496 00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:36,360 Speaker 1: he kind of volunteered and said, okay, well many snaps, 497 00:26:36,359 --> 00:26:39,520 Speaker 1: so you got to have depth. And so he's doing 498 00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:41,359 Speaker 1: both of those right now and he hadn't done it 499 00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:44,440 Speaker 1: since his second year in the league. Special teams. The's 500 00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:46,680 Speaker 1: a lot of Tony Pollard too, You're trying to get 501 00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:49,159 Speaker 1: him incorporated. They're mixing in with some ones. Yeah, that 502 00:26:49,280 --> 00:26:51,080 Speaker 1: makes sense. I mean, you know that has to be 503 00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:54,439 Speaker 1: Darius Jackson every every day here while Zeke's gone. Can 504 00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:57,000 Speaker 1: add one other thing about Sean Lee. Did you hear 505 00:26:57,000 --> 00:27:00,280 Speaker 1: what he said yesterday about reporting the camp? Yes? Yes, 506 00:27:01,080 --> 00:27:04,240 Speaker 1: he flew back from California, where he already was taking 507 00:27:04,280 --> 00:27:07,760 Speaker 1: a little not too far from here. He flew back 508 00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:11,040 Speaker 1: to Dallas so he could fly back to California with 509 00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:14,320 Speaker 1: his team because that's a special moment, and this is 510 00:27:14,359 --> 00:27:16,520 Speaker 1: his tenth year and that's just kind of how he 511 00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:18,800 Speaker 1: is man that I thought that was took all this 512 00:27:18,840 --> 00:27:21,879 Speaker 1: stuff not logistically sound, but you know that's what he 513 00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:25,240 Speaker 1: wants to do because I flew I flew home to 514 00:27:25,359 --> 00:27:30,560 Speaker 1: fly back, and yeah, that's that's the essence. And if 515 00:27:30,560 --> 00:27:34,520 Speaker 1: he had been watching our Cowboys training camp update on 516 00:27:34,600 --> 00:27:37,560 Speaker 1: Fox Sports Southwest, you to learn about that on Friday, 517 00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:41,760 Speaker 1: So there's another reason to check out. You didn't have 518 00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:44,919 Speaker 1: to wait till Sunday. Yeah, but you would. Sham was 519 00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:46,720 Speaker 1: all over it, but you would not have heard Sean 520 00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:50,920 Speaker 1: talking about it like wet him practice. He was great 521 00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:54,200 Speaker 1: talking about it, right and just talking about it's this 522 00:27:54,280 --> 00:27:57,520 Speaker 1: is about building a team and it starts, well, it 523 00:27:57,560 --> 00:28:00,320 Speaker 1: starts in the off season. That anybody was on Friday, 524 00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:04,720 Speaker 1: they but it starts the interview happened yesterday. No, it 525 00:28:04,800 --> 00:28:07,800 Speaker 1: happened with us on Friday, Mickey, for the love of God, 526 00:28:08,119 --> 00:28:10,880 Speaker 1: all right, we heard from the guy himself yesterday. Well 527 00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:13,359 Speaker 1: we heard from him on Friday. That was my point. 528 00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:16,359 Speaker 1: He didn't have to wait till Sunday. So but he 529 00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:20,240 Speaker 1: was talking about the fact that hey, you're on that flight, 530 00:28:21,040 --> 00:28:24,720 Speaker 1: you're talking trash with your teammates. This is about building 531 00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:27,359 Speaker 1: a team, and you haven't seen your teammates for five 532 00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:30,080 Speaker 1: weeks for the most part, you know, uh, and so 533 00:28:30,160 --> 00:28:32,439 Speaker 1: this is a chance to reconnect and it's all a 534 00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:36,080 Speaker 1: part of the whole process, the journey that they hope 535 00:28:36,080 --> 00:28:40,400 Speaker 1: will wind up. We're super Bowl this year, Miami, Miami. 536 00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:43,800 Speaker 1: Robert Quinn reminded us that yesterday I would like to 537 00:28:43,800 --> 00:28:46,480 Speaker 1: return to Miami in the Super Bowl. Robert Quinn an 538 00:28:46,520 --> 00:28:49,600 Speaker 1: interesting talk too. Yeah, he kind of said, Hey, the 539 00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:52,320 Speaker 1: question was asked about the super Bowl. That's how we 540 00:28:52,320 --> 00:28:54,600 Speaker 1: were reminded it was in Miami. He basically said, hey, 541 00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:56,640 Speaker 1: we're all trying to get to one place that's a 542 00:28:56,680 --> 00:29:00,280 Speaker 1: super Bowl. That's all from Yeah, somebody said, hey, you 543 00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:02,240 Speaker 1: think out the season season. He goes, it doesn't matter, 544 00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:04,200 Speaker 1: it's all about getting to the Super Bow. It's all 545 00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:06,320 Speaker 1: about getting to Miami. I'm starting to hear that a 546 00:29:06,320 --> 00:29:10,520 Speaker 1: little bit more among people in the organization. You know, 547 00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:13,880 Speaker 1: about championships and podiums and super Bowls and stuff. That 548 00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:16,200 Speaker 1: always kind of been something in the It was kind 549 00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:18,280 Speaker 1: of a little secret, you know that you really didn't 550 00:29:18,280 --> 00:29:20,880 Speaker 1: talk whole heck of a lot about but some people 551 00:29:20,920 --> 00:29:23,320 Speaker 1: in prominent places are kind of talking about more. Maybe 552 00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:25,720 Speaker 1: that's a good thing. That's a good thing. Expectations and 553 00:29:25,800 --> 00:29:29,440 Speaker 1: not to drink the kool aid. But look at the roster. 554 00:29:29,880 --> 00:29:33,280 Speaker 1: I mean, you're you know right now, the NFL network 555 00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:36,640 Speaker 1: every night is revealing the next ten on the NFL 556 00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:39,040 Speaker 1: Top one hundred is voted on by the players, and 557 00:29:39,040 --> 00:29:41,920 Speaker 1: the Cowboys will have eight players on that list, which 558 00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:45,080 Speaker 1: is the highest of any team in the league. The 559 00:29:45,120 --> 00:29:47,040 Speaker 1: only one that we don't know where he ranks is Zeke. 560 00:29:47,080 --> 00:29:49,760 Speaker 1: They're into the top thirty now and Zeke somewhere in 561 00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:53,800 Speaker 1: the top thirty hadn't been revealed yet. But you make 562 00:29:53,840 --> 00:29:55,840 Speaker 1: the top of Dack is not in the top one hundred. 563 00:29:55,880 --> 00:30:00,240 Speaker 1: On defense, it was Byron Jones, Layton Vander esh Alan 564 00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:03,640 Speaker 1: Smith and DeMarcus Lawrence. And on offense you got Zeke, 565 00:30:03,800 --> 00:30:09,360 Speaker 1: Tyrn Zach and Amari Yeah yeah, And those the offensive 566 00:30:09,360 --> 00:30:11,440 Speaker 1: players are all on the top sixty four I think 567 00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:14,240 Speaker 1: Cooper was sixty four or something or sixty one, something 568 00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:17,040 Speaker 1: like that. And the defensive players the highest one's Lawrence 569 00:30:17,080 --> 00:30:19,520 Speaker 1: at forty five. But when you think about look at 570 00:30:19,520 --> 00:30:23,480 Speaker 1: this roster, you got those eight players and that's not 571 00:30:23,560 --> 00:30:27,040 Speaker 1: even including Travis Frederick or former Pro Bowl right Jason Witten, 572 00:30:27,160 --> 00:30:29,640 Speaker 1: eleven time Pro Bowler. We'll see what level he's playing 573 00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:31,640 Speaker 1: at as he plays this year. Dacks have been in 574 00:30:31,680 --> 00:30:35,480 Speaker 1: the Pro Bowl, Randall Cobbs been in the Pro Bowl, 575 00:30:35,480 --> 00:30:37,360 Speaker 1: and Robert Quinn's been in the Pro Bowl. I mean, 576 00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:41,400 Speaker 1: so there's there's five more players, which goes to Jerry's 577 00:30:41,440 --> 00:30:44,480 Speaker 1: point about I have a list, you gotta pay all 578 00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:48,080 Speaker 1: those guys. Yeah, that's why it's hard to empty the 579 00:30:48,120 --> 00:30:50,920 Speaker 1: bank just for one player, and not just the top guys, 580 00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:54,440 Speaker 1: but just the overall depth on paper looks really good. 581 00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:56,920 Speaker 1: I was talking Rod Marinelli about that yesterday. I asked him, 582 00:30:57,120 --> 00:30:59,120 Speaker 1: is this the deepest group you've had on your d line? 583 00:30:59,120 --> 00:31:02,560 Speaker 1: He said yes, and he said there's really you get 584 00:31:02,240 --> 00:31:07,840 Speaker 1: past Lawrence and maybe Quinn, and there's really there's very 585 00:31:07,880 --> 00:31:11,200 Speaker 1: minimal difference between the first team to the third team 586 00:31:11,680 --> 00:31:14,120 Speaker 1: on your defensive line. And you got I mean, you're 587 00:31:14,160 --> 00:31:16,000 Speaker 1: sixteen guys and you got to cut it down to 588 00:31:16,080 --> 00:31:20,440 Speaker 1: eight to ten. That's gonna be really interesting, all right, Jerry. 589 00:31:20,480 --> 00:31:22,480 Speaker 1: In one of the interviews I saw that was posted 590 00:31:22,520 --> 00:31:25,520 Speaker 1: online with the San Antonio Station went so far as 591 00:31:25,560 --> 00:31:27,600 Speaker 1: to say I was trying to get him to say this, 592 00:31:27,680 --> 00:31:31,600 Speaker 1: and it maybe maybe I listed off all these players 593 00:31:31,720 --> 00:31:34,520 Speaker 1: and this in the San Antonio station did the interview 594 00:31:34,600 --> 00:31:37,760 Speaker 1: right after me, and even time to think about time 595 00:31:37,800 --> 00:31:40,520 Speaker 1: to think about it, I think, and he actually said 596 00:31:40,560 --> 00:31:43,880 Speaker 1: in that interview that I think we've got the best 597 00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:49,480 Speaker 1: roster maybe ever, which I think he got, got a 598 00:31:49,520 --> 00:31:52,040 Speaker 1: little carried away, got a little carried away the century, 599 00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:56,520 Speaker 1: emit this century maybe ever as in so I didn't 600 00:31:56,520 --> 00:31:58,880 Speaker 1: hear the whole context of it. Maybe the question was, 601 00:31:59,400 --> 00:32:02,160 Speaker 1: since you coming to Oxnard whatever, I don't know, we 602 00:32:02,240 --> 00:32:04,760 Speaker 1: might have to go back to ninety three was pretty good. 603 00:32:05,680 --> 00:32:06,960 Speaker 1: That's where he got a little. I don't know. I 604 00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:08,720 Speaker 1: was a green band, got my ass kicked a bunch. 605 00:32:11,120 --> 00:32:13,600 Speaker 1: Ninety three and ninety four might have been their their 606 00:32:13,640 --> 00:32:16,800 Speaker 1: best rosters. Yeah, I don't even though they didn't go 607 00:32:16,840 --> 00:32:18,800 Speaker 1: to the super Bowl, I don't disagree with that. Yeah, 608 00:32:18,840 --> 00:32:21,560 Speaker 1: I don't disagree with that at all. San franciscot a 609 00:32:21,560 --> 00:32:26,160 Speaker 1: pretty good roster too, they did, sure did. Yeah, sud Uh. 610 00:32:26,360 --> 00:32:28,880 Speaker 1: Jerry came right out and said that they're gonna get 611 00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:32,640 Speaker 1: the contract done. He didn't say win, but it's gonna 612 00:32:32,640 --> 00:32:35,120 Speaker 1: get done. I think that's fairly obvious. And you think 613 00:32:35,120 --> 00:32:38,080 Speaker 1: that'll happen during camp. They'll get a Mari done. You know, 614 00:32:38,120 --> 00:32:40,959 Speaker 1: if they get a Mari done first, that opens up 615 00:32:41,040 --> 00:32:43,680 Speaker 1: more room on the on the cap for this year 616 00:32:44,280 --> 00:32:47,640 Speaker 1: because he's counting fourteen million. And if if they can 617 00:32:47,760 --> 00:32:50,760 Speaker 1: do the deal like they did with DeMarcus, then that 618 00:32:51,120 --> 00:32:54,360 Speaker 1: they salary this year will be pretty low. And and 619 00:32:54,680 --> 00:32:58,520 Speaker 1: and instead of all fourteen million counting even if he 620 00:32:58,560 --> 00:33:00,840 Speaker 1: counted against the cap four team. I mean, they can 621 00:33:00,920 --> 00:33:05,320 Speaker 1: reduce the pro rated by the pro rated signing bonus. So, uh, 622 00:33:05,720 --> 00:33:07,760 Speaker 1: that one, if they get that done, then it creates 623 00:33:07,840 --> 00:33:10,160 Speaker 1: more room. I was dead wrong. I thought Dak was 624 00:33:10,200 --> 00:33:12,680 Speaker 1: going to get done before training camp. Yeah I was. 625 00:33:12,720 --> 00:33:15,440 Speaker 1: I was. I had that feeling like it, you know, okay, 626 00:33:15,480 --> 00:33:17,800 Speaker 1: making progress, he's here every day kind of you know 627 00:33:17,880 --> 00:33:20,360 Speaker 1: that kind of They weren't even taught. I didn't get 628 00:33:20,400 --> 00:33:24,320 Speaker 1: that vibe, but they weren't it seeking. It seemed like, yeah, 629 00:33:24,400 --> 00:33:28,280 Speaker 1: there weren't. It wasn't close. But this is the time. 630 00:33:28,400 --> 00:33:30,520 Speaker 1: This is the time. Stephen Jones likes to get here 631 00:33:30,560 --> 00:33:32,680 Speaker 1: and roll his sleeves up, and it always seems like 632 00:33:32,720 --> 00:33:34,960 Speaker 1: at least one guy gets done, but you could talk 633 00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:39,320 Speaker 1: to wouldn't speak was here, Maybe they could talk to him. 634 00:33:39,440 --> 00:33:42,440 Speaker 1: See that. I guess my feeling because if Dak was 635 00:33:42,520 --> 00:33:44,880 Speaker 1: because that one was going to be the domino that 636 00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:46,800 Speaker 1: got all the other ones. I think when the reason 637 00:33:46,840 --> 00:33:51,120 Speaker 1: I know that Zeke his holdout is not about Dak. 638 00:33:51,200 --> 00:33:53,960 Speaker 1: It's more about like a maori. You know. He we 639 00:33:54,040 --> 00:33:56,880 Speaker 1: talked about the seat at the table thing. Yeah, people 640 00:33:56,920 --> 00:33:58,920 Speaker 1: were saying to me, it's like he just wants to 641 00:33:58,960 --> 00:34:02,880 Speaker 1: be recognized one of the guys, and and his camp 642 00:34:02,960 --> 00:34:05,960 Speaker 1: knows that Dak is going to needs to get done. 643 00:34:06,440 --> 00:34:09,320 Speaker 1: I think if Dad gets done, then you'll see the Amari. 644 00:34:09,400 --> 00:34:11,560 Speaker 1: Then maybe you'll see the z I think I think 645 00:34:11,600 --> 00:34:14,880 Speaker 1: it's the opposite. I think if Dak's deal gets done first, 646 00:34:15,480 --> 00:34:17,560 Speaker 1: that will get every because to me, that takes a 647 00:34:17,600 --> 00:34:20,640 Speaker 1: big chunk of the pot. And now, now, if you're 648 00:34:20,640 --> 00:34:22,840 Speaker 1: the agent, you're sitting there thinking, if we're gonna get money, 649 00:34:22,880 --> 00:34:25,520 Speaker 1: we gotta go. Now, we're gonna we gotta get before 650 00:34:25,520 --> 00:34:28,879 Speaker 1: this thing. That's why poor Byron Jones is getting squeezed. Well, 651 00:34:29,120 --> 00:34:32,319 Speaker 1: Steven's already said he made a comment and I don't 652 00:34:32,320 --> 00:34:34,840 Speaker 1: know when it was, but it was either the Mini 653 00:34:34,920 --> 00:34:38,480 Speaker 1: camp or the OTA. Everybody know. He said about when 654 00:34:38,480 --> 00:34:40,960 Speaker 1: he was asked about Byron Jones, he said, I think 655 00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:44,520 Speaker 1: we would like to see that, yeah, meaning that one 656 00:34:44,600 --> 00:34:47,600 Speaker 1: year deal order. Can we see that again from him 657 00:34:47,600 --> 00:34:51,400 Speaker 1: before we extend him. But when you look at Dak's deal, 658 00:34:51,880 --> 00:34:54,200 Speaker 1: you know he's gonna count two million against the cap 659 00:34:54,320 --> 00:34:57,919 Speaker 1: this year. If you signed him the deal, it ain't 660 00:34:57,920 --> 00:35:00,839 Speaker 1: gonna be two million this year, no, So you got 661 00:35:00,840 --> 00:35:03,400 Speaker 1: to take that in consideration. They did have talks with 662 00:35:03,400 --> 00:35:08,160 Speaker 1: with Jones's camp during the combine, Byron's camp. But he's 663 00:35:08,160 --> 00:35:10,680 Speaker 1: coming off he's coming off the hip surgery. They think 664 00:35:10,680 --> 00:35:12,960 Speaker 1: he's ready for a week one. But I guess maybe 665 00:35:13,719 --> 00:35:15,640 Speaker 1: you're saying maybe it's a little like the d Law thing, 666 00:35:15,960 --> 00:35:18,759 Speaker 1: like you know, I'm season do it again and then 667 00:35:18,760 --> 00:35:21,640 Speaker 1: we'll talk. Yeah, okay, and that's only one year for 668 00:35:21,719 --> 00:35:25,160 Speaker 1: him at corner, right, I mean, but he was originally 669 00:35:25,160 --> 00:35:28,160 Speaker 1: in that group of guys that yeah, they kept throwing 670 00:35:28,200 --> 00:35:30,360 Speaker 1: his name in. Yeah. But when Steven I heard Steven 671 00:35:30,440 --> 00:35:32,799 Speaker 1: say that, I was like, oh, okay, that's probably not 672 00:35:32,880 --> 00:35:37,759 Speaker 1: a bad plan. Um. Oh and by the way, where 673 00:35:37,760 --> 00:35:40,200 Speaker 1: you were talking about special teams, I was I was 674 00:35:40,239 --> 00:35:42,680 Speaker 1: going to throw this in there. Uh, they let both 675 00:35:42,760 --> 00:35:46,719 Speaker 1: kickers kick already. Ye, Redfinn went yesterday. He made five 676 00:35:46,760 --> 00:35:51,640 Speaker 1: of six. How do you say?

That's what it says? Somebody else's fault Yep, 690 00:36:38,880 --> 00:36:42,319 Speaker 1: all right, So did you chart the kicks five for six? 691 00:36:42,480 --> 00:36:45,160 Speaker 1: Five or six for red fern and five for six 692 00:36:45,239 --> 00:36:48,240 Speaker 1: for so we haven't tie right now, right, yeah, although 693 00:36:48,280 --> 00:36:52,160 Speaker 1: at least his uh myers missed hit the right up right, 694 00:36:52,239 --> 00:36:55,680 Speaker 1: and it was a pretty stiff win too, right, Yeah, ball, 695 00:36:56,080 --> 00:37:02,239 Speaker 1: the ball looked like my driving day. Yeah yeah, if 696 00:37:02,320 --> 00:37:05,600 Speaker 1: if if Mahr is gonna miss a kick, it's typical 697 00:37:05,600 --> 00:37:07,880 Speaker 1: of what he's gonna miss. It's gonna start, gonna go 698 00:37:07,920 --> 00:37:09,480 Speaker 1: to the it's gonna go to the right, it's gonna 699 00:37:09,600 --> 00:37:11,640 Speaker 1: go right at the upright. It's either gonna go over 700 00:37:11,800 --> 00:37:14,480 Speaker 1: or inside or hit the upright. What's exactly what he did? 701 00:37:14,520 --> 00:37:18,759 Speaker 1: What was the distance on that one? Last one? So 702 00:37:18,920 --> 00:37:24,120 Speaker 1: it's probably I didn't see where Casey's miss. Okay, speaking 703 00:37:24,120 --> 00:37:27,960 Speaker 1: of the kickers, So you think they'll kick today special teams? 704 00:37:27,960 --> 00:37:30,920 Speaker 1: Probably not because they won't have Probably LP gets a 705 00:37:31,200 --> 00:37:36,359 Speaker 1: day off, all right, so we'll see. All right, we're 706 00:37:36,400 --> 00:37:40,239 Speaker 1: gonna toss to break when we can. But I thought, okay, 707 00:37:40,880 --> 00:37:44,360 Speaker 1: how about the decision last year, Dan Bailey versus Brett Maher. 708 00:37:45,080 --> 00:37:48,120 Speaker 1: It was bald, but it was an accurate one, right, 709 00:37:48,360 --> 00:37:54,400 Speaker 1: exactly as long as Mare is stronger down to stretch 710 00:37:54,480 --> 00:37:58,080 Speaker 1: this year any well, even even don't take into account, right, 711 00:37:58,320 --> 00:38:01,640 Speaker 1: don't take into account any thing beyond right now, even 712 00:38:01,760 --> 00:38:04,400 Speaker 1: just for a last year, that was the right decision 713 00:38:04,400 --> 00:38:07,640 Speaker 1: to make.

Oh so on 820 00:43:58,520 --> 00:44:02,239 Speaker 1: Dale Hanson Sports Special on Sunday Night, I shaved off 821 00:44:02,360 --> 00:44:07,480 Speaker 1: my mustache. Encourage you to watch. Well, I can't change 822 00:44:07,480 --> 00:44:13,520 Speaker 1: the story. And that's what we cowboys, and that's how 823 00:44:13,600 --> 00:44:16,400 Speaker 1: we do in this country. Right, we change our history 824 00:44:16,480 --> 00:44:19,400 Speaker 1: because we didn't like it doesn't fit not that's true, right, 825 00:44:19,600 --> 00:44:22,560 Speaker 1: that's true. And we tried to, Uh, we tried to. 826 00:44:23,000 --> 00:44:26,960 Speaker 1: We tried to convince the bartender at the hotel we 827 00:44:26,960 --> 00:44:29,000 Speaker 1: were staying for the week because we were in San Diego. 828 00:44:29,280 --> 00:44:33,680 Speaker 1: They practiced there for a week. Uh to she looked 829 00:44:33,680 --> 00:44:36,240 Speaker 1: just like the Nazema girl. It was fair a faucet 830 00:44:36,600 --> 00:44:38,160 Speaker 1: and we were gonna have her do it. And she 831 00:44:38,200 --> 00:44:40,640 Speaker 1: didn't trust that. She didn't believe we were telling the truth. 832 00:44:41,520 --> 00:44:44,759 Speaker 1: Of course, not talk to you for ten minutes, you'd 833 00:44:44,760 --> 00:44:48,200 Speaker 1: see that somebody else was trying to convince her, not me. 834 00:44:48,360 --> 00:44:51,840 Speaker 1: All right, Rob, I need that media guide for one moment, please, yes, sir? Okay. 835 00:44:51,960 --> 00:44:56,080 Speaker 1: The cover of the Cowboys media guide for this year 836 00:44:56,120 --> 00:45:00,359 Speaker 1: about a quarter behind this year, not a quarter there 837 00:45:00,440 --> 00:45:04,600 Speaker 1: it is Marcus Lawrence. Tank Lawrence is on the cover 838 00:45:04,680 --> 00:45:06,840 Speaker 1: of the media guide. And by the way, I mentioned 839 00:45:06,920 --> 00:45:10,200 Speaker 1: Jerry Jones did the Little car Wash interviews, Well the 840 00:45:10,280 --> 00:45:13,239 Speaker 1: one hundred five million dollars man also did it at 841 00:45:13,280 --> 00:45:17,200 Speaker 1: the gazebo last night after the Jerry interviews, and so 842 00:45:17,400 --> 00:45:22,120 Speaker 1: I brought a media guide with me to the first 843 00:45:22,200 --> 00:45:25,319 Speaker 1: question I asked DeMarcus is have you seen this? And 844 00:45:25,480 --> 00:45:28,080 Speaker 1: I could not believe it. He had not seen the 845 00:45:28,160 --> 00:45:30,600 Speaker 1: media guide and seen him on the cover, and what 846 00:45:30,760 --> 00:45:34,880 Speaker 1: was his reaction? He looked at it and he looked pleased, 847 00:45:35,160 --> 00:45:37,800 Speaker 1: but he said, I wish they would have photoshopped it 848 00:45:37,920 --> 00:45:41,960 Speaker 1: to make my biceps bigger. In my opinion, it looks 849 00:45:41,960 --> 00:45:46,680 Speaker 1: like it already is photoshopped. His biceps are so big. Yeah, 850 00:45:46,800 --> 00:45:49,319 Speaker 1: when's the last defensive player for the Cowboys and spen 851 00:45:49,360 --> 00:45:50,799 Speaker 1: on the cover of me. I was going to look 852 00:45:50,800 --> 00:45:53,239 Speaker 1: that up and I did. Maybe DeMarcus Ware. I have 853 00:45:53,320 --> 00:45:58,680 Speaker 1: to go back and where the quarterback or the owner. Yeah, 854 00:45:59,080 --> 00:46:02,200 Speaker 1: sometimes it's Juneer with this a star if that's coming 855 00:46:02,200 --> 00:46:05,760 Speaker 1: off and five and eleven season, they had three straight 856 00:46:05,800 --> 00:46:09,520 Speaker 1: to star media guides back in the early ots for 857 00:46:09,640 --> 00:46:12,480 Speaker 1: now highest paid player in the history of the Dallas Cowboys, 858 00:46:12,560 --> 00:46:15,799 Speaker 1: right right. Not worried about him, right, not worried about 859 00:46:15,880 --> 00:46:18,600 Speaker 1: him at all, but getting ready before that Wednesday before 860 00:46:18,640 --> 00:46:20,560 Speaker 1: the Giants game kind of a thing. He'll be ready. 861 00:46:20,760 --> 00:46:23,919 Speaker 1: All indications from Stephen Jones said week one, how many 862 00:46:24,000 --> 00:46:26,160 Speaker 1: questions did you get about what's he gonna do with 863 00:46:26,200 --> 00:46:29,919 Speaker 1: all his money? Um? I'm not sure. I didn't stay 864 00:46:29,920 --> 00:46:34,480 Speaker 1: for all the interviews six yeah, yeah, um. You know, 865 00:46:34,560 --> 00:46:37,040 Speaker 1: but in talking with it, when you really look dig 866 00:46:37,080 --> 00:46:41,200 Speaker 1: into his background and just where he came from a 867 00:46:41,320 --> 00:46:45,360 Speaker 1: small town in South Carolina, and and really about his 868 00:46:45,480 --> 00:46:48,480 Speaker 1: parents and how they instilled a work ethic in him 869 00:46:49,320 --> 00:46:51,840 Speaker 1: where you know, all the other kids were, all the 870 00:46:51,880 --> 00:46:55,200 Speaker 1: other kids were off doing whatever, and they made him 871 00:46:55,280 --> 00:46:58,560 Speaker 1: do chores around the house. I mean heavy dude, heavy 872 00:46:58,600 --> 00:47:03,000 Speaker 1: lifting stuff all from South Carolina to Boise, Idaho. That 873 00:47:03,120 --> 00:47:05,279 Speaker 1: you know, that's that's that takes a lot because usually 874 00:47:05,320 --> 00:47:06,919 Speaker 1: you know, if you do have a mom and dad, 875 00:47:06,960 --> 00:47:08,600 Speaker 1: that's kind of honous. And maybe he said I gotta 876 00:47:08,640 --> 00:47:10,920 Speaker 1: get out of here. Maybe that's what he said. But 877 00:47:10,960 --> 00:47:13,440 Speaker 1: he wasn't highly recruited, yeah, coming out, That's what I'm 878 00:47:13,480 --> 00:47:15,880 Speaker 1: saying though, the fact that he did. You know, sometimes 879 00:47:15,920 --> 00:47:18,400 Speaker 1: you do you make those trips where you know, you 880 00:47:18,480 --> 00:47:20,719 Speaker 1: end up in some really strange places in your life, 881 00:47:20,760 --> 00:47:23,040 Speaker 1: but it helps you get to that next level. And 882 00:47:23,120 --> 00:47:26,200 Speaker 1: that's I think Boise. We've seen what Boyse has done 883 00:47:26,560 --> 00:47:28,359 Speaker 1: as far as the number of players not just here 884 00:47:28,360 --> 00:47:31,600 Speaker 1: but around the league that they And the other thing 885 00:47:31,600 --> 00:47:33,719 Speaker 1: with him is he he admits that he didn't take 886 00:47:33,719 --> 00:47:36,840 Speaker 1: academics seriously. So he actually made a stop at Butler 887 00:47:36,960 --> 00:47:39,840 Speaker 1: Community College in Kansas on his way to Boise. And 888 00:47:39,960 --> 00:47:41,719 Speaker 1: I think it was after that he was He did 889 00:47:41,719 --> 00:47:45,120 Speaker 1: have offers from big schools closer to home, but he 890 00:47:45,160 --> 00:47:50,800 Speaker 1: decided to go too. He was he was nearly halfway there. Yeah, yeah, 891 00:47:50,840 --> 00:47:53,160 Speaker 1: he made it to Kansas. And well the same thing 892 00:47:53,160 --> 00:47:55,760 Speaker 1: with DeMarcus ware right, he has to go to Troy 893 00:47:56,160 --> 00:47:58,360 Speaker 1: because he wasn't a defensive end. He was a title 894 00:47:58,600 --> 00:48:01,080 Speaker 1: well and yeah, and it's right, and he was like 895 00:48:01,120 --> 00:48:04,279 Speaker 1: a two hundred and ten pound. He played tight end 896 00:48:04,480 --> 00:48:08,200 Speaker 1: and defensive end in high school two hundred and ten pounds, 897 00:48:08,320 --> 00:48:11,239 Speaker 1: and I think DeMarcus Ware was one hundred ninety five 898 00:48:11,280 --> 00:48:15,640 Speaker 1: pound UH wide receiver slash linebacker or whatever. He was 899 00:48:16,880 --> 00:48:21,880 Speaker 1: at Troy in Troy, Alabama. You know. Yeah. But the 900 00:48:21,880 --> 00:48:25,120 Speaker 1: other thing about this is all of us here if 901 00:48:25,160 --> 00:48:27,759 Speaker 1: we were on the cover of a media guide for 902 00:48:27,840 --> 00:48:30,480 Speaker 1: whatever team that we played for. Don't you think we 903 00:48:30,560 --> 00:48:33,360 Speaker 1: know about it? Oh? Don't you think it? You? And 904 00:48:33,960 --> 00:48:40,759 Speaker 1: there's things they're away from the team they see more 905 00:48:40,800 --> 00:48:46,160 Speaker 1: than anything else. Is the UH program, the game program 906 00:48:46,760 --> 00:48:49,920 Speaker 1: because they put them. They put them in their lockers 907 00:48:50,080 --> 00:48:52,440 Speaker 1: on Sunday, and when they get in there early and 908 00:48:52,480 --> 00:48:55,520 Speaker 1: they get nothing to do, they read the program. You 909 00:48:55,520 --> 00:48:57,920 Speaker 1: know what I got. I got called out about something like, 910 00:48:58,000 --> 00:48:59,839 Speaker 1: go where in the world would you have seen there? 911 00:49:00,040 --> 00:49:05,640 Speaker 1: I read it before the game Scouting report, scouting report, Yeah, 912 00:49:05,760 --> 00:49:10,719 Speaker 1: getting your iPad you read I've done a Mickey's Quick 913 00:49:10,800 --> 00:49:14,680 Speaker 1: Things comment, I've done Opponents Scouting Report, and guys I 914 00:49:14,719 --> 00:49:16,960 Speaker 1: know around the league have read it and said, man, 915 00:49:17,040 --> 00:49:20,160 Speaker 1: you got our team right. And I've had a couple say, man, 916 00:49:20,320 --> 00:49:22,480 Speaker 1: what are you talking about? That kind of thing. So yeah, 917 00:49:22,760 --> 00:49:24,839 Speaker 1: they read those a little scouting. But think about it. 918 00:49:25,200 --> 00:49:27,239 Speaker 1: I mean they were that didn't come out to a 919 00:49:27,280 --> 00:49:29,760 Speaker 1: couple of days before we left, right they're finishing them. 920 00:49:29,800 --> 00:49:32,480 Speaker 1: Snag told him that he was going to be on 921 00:49:32,520 --> 00:49:35,439 Speaker 1: the media guy. He probably you know, he's probably looked 922 00:49:35,480 --> 00:49:38,160 Speaker 1: at a media guy. Don't even know what it was. Um, 923 00:49:38,239 --> 00:49:44,759 Speaker 1: you should have got him to sign it autographs, which 924 00:49:44,760 --> 00:49:48,560 Speaker 1: is criteria. I don't do autographs anyway. The only time 925 00:49:48,600 --> 00:49:50,840 Speaker 1: I've ever done autographs was one time when I was 926 00:49:50,840 --> 00:49:54,680 Speaker 1: a Rangers broadcaster and the first brought Ranger game I 927 00:49:54,719 --> 00:50:00,000 Speaker 1: ever did, Warren Newson hit a I was at Tiger Stadium. 928 00:50:00,040 --> 00:50:02,920 Speaker 1: Warn Nuson hits a foul ball that almost decapitated me. 929 00:50:03,040 --> 00:50:06,080 Speaker 1: It came back into the press box and it whizzed 930 00:50:06,080 --> 00:50:10,279 Speaker 1: by my right ear and knocked the air conditioning the 931 00:50:10,280 --> 00:50:14,279 Speaker 1: thermostat off the wall behind me at Tigers Stadium. And 932 00:50:14,320 --> 00:50:17,320 Speaker 1: I kept that baseball. I kept that baseball throughout the 933 00:50:17,480 --> 00:50:19,920 Speaker 1: entire season. We're checking out of the team hotel, our 934 00:50:20,000 --> 00:50:21,919 Speaker 1: last road trip of the year, and low to hold. 935 00:50:21,920 --> 00:50:24,920 Speaker 1: Warn Nusson is in front of me checking out of 936 00:50:24,960 --> 00:50:27,000 Speaker 1: the hotel. I got it out of my briefcase and 937 00:50:27,080 --> 00:50:30,719 Speaker 1: said Warren, and I haven't asked for an autograph from 938 00:50:30,800 --> 00:50:34,440 Speaker 1: a player since I was eight years old? Will you 939 00:50:34,520 --> 00:50:37,400 Speaker 1: sign this for me? And I still almost killed me 940 00:50:37,400 --> 00:50:40,080 Speaker 1: the first Major League baseball game I ever broadcast in 941 00:50:40,120 --> 00:50:42,600 Speaker 1: my life. Very good, yea. You know. The other thing 942 00:50:42,640 --> 00:50:47,320 Speaker 1: though on this these professional athletes are wired so differently 943 00:50:47,600 --> 00:50:51,880 Speaker 1: than the rest of mankind, and they have so much 944 00:50:52,040 --> 00:50:57,120 Speaker 1: more on their in their vision than what I would 945 00:50:57,160 --> 00:50:59,839 Speaker 1: be like if you know, it was a big deal 946 00:50:59,840 --> 00:51:02,319 Speaker 1: for me when I was in high school, you know, 947 00:51:02,680 --> 00:51:07,200 Speaker 1: getting some honor as a high school basketball player, our courier, Yeah, exactly, 948 00:51:07,640 --> 00:51:10,960 Speaker 1: all district or whatever it might be. It's nothing to them, 949 00:51:11,239 --> 00:51:13,720 Speaker 1: you know. They don't care about to take a picture 950 00:51:13,719 --> 00:51:16,280 Speaker 1: and put it on it. Now they do care. They 951 00:51:16,360 --> 00:51:19,839 Speaker 1: do care if their Madden rating is eighty nine. Yeah. Yeah, 952 00:51:19,880 --> 00:51:22,239 Speaker 1: because all their buddies play the game too, and they're like, 953 00:51:22,320 --> 00:51:24,239 Speaker 1: what the hell's up with that? And he's got a 954 00:51:24,280 --> 00:51:29,959 Speaker 1: point on that too. You on Instagram? No, alright, on Twitter, 955 00:51:30,120 --> 00:51:31,960 Speaker 1: I wouldn't even know how to do it, all right, 956 00:51:32,120 --> 00:51:35,480 Speaker 1: So or what you put on it? We got pads 957 00:51:35,560 --> 00:51:38,359 Speaker 1: on today? Yes, okay, what are we looking for? As 958 00:51:38,440 --> 00:51:40,719 Speaker 1: we donned the pads for the first time. You think 959 00:51:40,719 --> 00:51:43,719 Speaker 1: they're gonna let the lineman go at each other's first day? 960 00:51:43,920 --> 00:51:48,000 Speaker 1: Sure offense, Travis Frederick would start there. Yeah, let's start there. 961 00:51:48,160 --> 00:51:50,799 Speaker 1: Let's start with Travis Fredick. Think they'll let them do it. 962 00:51:51,160 --> 00:51:53,040 Speaker 1: I hope, so, I hope. So. Need to check on 963 00:51:53,080 --> 00:51:55,400 Speaker 1: that between practices, but yeah, I think that, you know, 964 00:51:55,480 --> 00:51:57,239 Speaker 1: they would like to think that. Travis, for he's been 965 00:51:57,280 --> 00:51:59,640 Speaker 1: doing all the other stuff. You know, Garrett said, full 966 00:51:59,680 --> 00:52:02,319 Speaker 1: going and we'll kind of see how it goes. He feels, Yeah, 967 00:52:02,480 --> 00:52:04,880 Speaker 1: you know, you got Antoine Woods back in there playing, 968 00:52:04,880 --> 00:52:07,840 Speaker 1: you know. And by the way, three hundred and three pounds. 969 00:52:07,840 --> 00:52:10,920 Speaker 1: He lost the weight that Marinelli told him to lose, right, 970 00:52:11,160 --> 00:52:13,600 Speaker 1: And when I talked to Rod yesterday and he goes, yeah, 971 00:52:13,640 --> 00:52:16,560 Speaker 1: I could actually see has some definition of muscle in 972 00:52:16,640 --> 00:52:19,880 Speaker 1: his arm. It's not just flabbing around. Yeah, you know, 973 00:52:19,920 --> 00:52:21,960 Speaker 1: I lost thirty pounds in the last year and a 974 00:52:21,960 --> 00:52:27,080 Speaker 1: half and I got no definition the thing that Frederick, 975 00:52:27,280 --> 00:52:29,400 Speaker 1: you know, I think that's something that we're gonna, you know, 976 00:52:29,480 --> 00:52:31,520 Speaker 1: need to keep an eye on. How about Connor Williams 977 00:52:31,600 --> 00:52:36,360 Speaker 1: being three hundred and twenty pounds now he's three Connor Williams.
