00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:44,960
Speaker 1: seems like it's been forever since we've been on the

11
00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:47,040
Speaker 1: on the on the air, But we got a lot

00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:48,880
Speaker 1: to talk about today. We're gonna talk a lot about

13
00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:52,840
Speaker 1: Ezekiel Elliott and his situation, his situation that's going on.

14
00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:56,080
Speaker 1: We're gonna talk a little bit about the fifty three

15
00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:57,800
Speaker 1: man roster. I have a few questions for you guys

16
00:00:57,800 --> 00:01:00,800
Speaker 1: around the bubble. Guys, actually gonna be a pretty cool

17
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:03,080
Speaker 1: piece of content that you two will be involved in

18
00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:05,440
Speaker 1: later today that we're gonna put out. Just so you

19
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:07,480
Speaker 1: guys know, it's going to be a video where we're

20
00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:11,279
Speaker 1: gonna put all the riders together. Brian, Nick Dave rob

21
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:14,000
Speaker 1: and you guys are gonna basically you're going to figure

22
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:16,080
Speaker 1: out a fifty three million roster, and from what I understand,

23
00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:18,520
Speaker 1: you have to come to consensus on it. Good luck

24
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:20,760
Speaker 1: will be interesting. Good luck. I don't think I've ever

25
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:23,639
Speaker 1: seen Dave and Brian come to consensus on pretty much anything.

26
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:26,640
Speaker 1: LSU football. LSU football, that is one thing. You guys

27
00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:28,760
Speaker 1: come and I don't even know if you've everything with

28
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:30,520
Speaker 1: l football. And as I said that, I was like,

29
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:32,800
Speaker 1: that's not true, that's not really true. But we got

30
00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:35,040
Speaker 1: a lot to get into. How's everybody doing this one?

31
00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:39,280
Speaker 1: We're good, good, great, awesome, and I'm sure everybody's still

32
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:41,040
Speaker 1: kind of riding to hire. From last night, I thought

33
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:44,640
Speaker 1: that was a really cool event. Cowboys put on an

34
00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:48,360
Speaker 1: event to raise some money for needy people down in Houston,

35
00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:53,600
Speaker 1: South Texas for Harvey relief. Raised two point three million

36
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:57,120
Speaker 1: dollars last night. So a really cool event. Um, you

37
00:01:57,160 --> 00:01:59,880
Speaker 1: guys covered it. Did you guys hear anything from the players?

38
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:02,480
Speaker 1: I was interesting. I know you talked a few players afterwards.

39
00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:04,720
Speaker 1: Just anything that stood out to you about how they

40
00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:08,160
Speaker 1: felt about doing the event or anything like that. Well,

41
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:11,040
Speaker 1: I think that the fact that, you know, when you

42
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:13,799
Speaker 1: look at what was going to happen on Thursday night,

43
00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:15,240
Speaker 1: and it was going to be a game. It was

44
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:17,399
Speaker 1: going to be these guys on the sideline and these

45
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:19,040
Speaker 1: guys that are going to be on the field, and

46
00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:20,840
Speaker 1: that's exactly the way it was. It was just a

47
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:23,600
Speaker 1: little bit different than what how it turned out. I mean,

48
00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:27,600
Speaker 1: with a being a big bank of phones and they're

49
00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:30,440
Speaker 1: they're all answering it. I thought that, you know, the

50
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:33,640
Speaker 1: obviously they were happy to do that and not practice,

51
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:37,160
Speaker 1: But as far as the cause, it was great. I mean,

52
00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:40,440
Speaker 1: and the fact that the fans got the call players

53
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:42,880
Speaker 1: and talk to them. I mean, yeah, they were they

54
00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:45,480
Speaker 1: were donating, but they were also getting a chance to

55
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:47,519
Speaker 1: talk with their favorite players. So I think it was

56
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:50,200
Speaker 1: kind of win win for everybody there. And I don't

57
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:52,600
Speaker 1: want to go as far as to say that they

58
00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:54,640
Speaker 1: didn't want to do it. Obviously it's a good cause.

59
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:57,240
Speaker 1: It's a great cause, but I can see, you know,

60
00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:00,800
Speaker 1: football players, especially you know, not Jason Witten, but guys

61
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:02,519
Speaker 1: that aren't in the spotlight so much. Maybe you're a

62
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:05,880
Speaker 1: little bit apprehensive about that, you know, taking phone calls

63
00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:07,760
Speaker 1: from strangers. How am I going to work the phone,

64
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:10,440
Speaker 1: this is on TV, Like what exactly am I doing?

65
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:14,359
Speaker 1: But it seemed like whatever apprehensive this they might have had,

66
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:16,960
Speaker 1: I think it went away really quickly, and you could

67
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:19,360
Speaker 1: tell how excited all those guys were to be a

68
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:21,560
Speaker 1: part of that. And I think, you know, once they

69
00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:23,160
Speaker 1: kind of got the feel for the flow of it,

70
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:25,480
Speaker 1: I thought, you know, all the feedback I heard from

71
00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 1: those guys was really really positive. Yeah, and again they

72
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:30,400
Speaker 1: raised two point three million dollars, So that's always a

73
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:33,040
Speaker 1: good thing when you're raising money to help people that

74
00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:36,000
Speaker 1: are that are really in need. And some cool moments too.

75
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:37,840
Speaker 1: The last night, I know that there was the moment

76
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:41,280
Speaker 1: when Jerry and he calls in and gets days on

77
00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:45,000
Speaker 1: the line and he makes his donation of a million dollars.

78
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:46,840
Speaker 1: That was a fun little moment. So there's a lot

79
00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:48,840
Speaker 1: of the moments like that that made it really cool

80
00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:51,000
Speaker 1: and interesting and fun as well. Yeah, and a lot

81
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:53,800
Speaker 1: of them just kind of repeated over and over. This

82
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:58,400
Speaker 1: whole situation went beyond football, so a lot of fans

83
00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:02,160
Speaker 1: were wandering whether they should have canceled the game or

84
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:05,200
Speaker 1: not maybe use that as a good cost to donate

85
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:09,080
Speaker 1: money or race money. But they handled it in a

86
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:11,680
Speaker 1: really good way to turn it around, in a way

87
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:14,680
Speaker 1: that the Texans were able to get back home to

88
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:18,200
Speaker 1: their families and their community, yet they were able to

89
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:22,480
Speaker 1: keep raising money for a good cost. Yep, exactly. All right,

90
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:24,760
Speaker 1: let's talk a little bit about this Zeke Elliott case.

91
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:28,039
Speaker 1: I know it's a big flip from talking about raising

92
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:30,360
Speaker 1: money for people who need it to now talking about

93
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:33,200
Speaker 1: a court case, but that's kind of where we are.

94
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:36,080
Speaker 1: Gf some the unsay it's no, well, it's just it's

95
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:40,839
Speaker 1: the perfect description of this job and this team and

96
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:43,960
Speaker 1: this beat. Because like I left the stadium, I was

97
00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:45,880
Speaker 1: walking out of the stadium. I didn't take the buses,

98
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:47,480
Speaker 1: so I drove myself, so I was a little bit

99
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:50,039
Speaker 1: behind everybody else and I'm walking out. I was kind

100
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:51,800
Speaker 1: of on like a high, like man, like we did

101
00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:53,800
Speaker 1: a cool thing. This is you know, players did this,

102
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:56,760
Speaker 1: and Jerry gave that and we're helping out and this

103
00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:59,840
Speaker 1: is important. And I didn't even get to my car

104
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:02,680
Speaker 1: before like the first trickles of news started to come

105
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:07,840
Speaker 1: about Kia Roberts and you know, she recommended no suspension.

106
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:10,719
Speaker 1: So I'm reading that and I'm like, oh god, what

107
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:13,080
Speaker 1: does this mean? Where are we going from here? And

108
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:15,880
Speaker 1: I went and got dinner and by the time I

109
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 1: got home, that's when you know, that's when you're seeing

110
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:22,840
Speaker 1: about you know, Zeke's lawyers filing in East Texas court

111
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:25,880
Speaker 1: for a restraining oar. I'm just like, my good feeling

112
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:29,479
Speaker 1: from the telethon lasted for about fifteen minutes before it's like,

113
00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:32,320
Speaker 1: all right, shift gears here and get back into the

114
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:34,839
Speaker 1: nitty griddy and whatever this whole thing is. So that's

115
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:36,560
Speaker 1: exactly right. I know, Nick and I were on the

116
00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:39,200
Speaker 1: bus together and Hammer was on there as well, and

117
00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:42,280
Speaker 1: I remember I gave Nick my phonus it read this

118
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:45,080
Speaker 1: and it was the article where they were talking about

119
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:48,239
Speaker 1: some of the allegations that we'll get into a little

120
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:50,839
Speaker 1: bit here, just to kind of lay it out. Yesterday

121
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:55,000
Speaker 1: they completed the appeal process. They had the Zeke and

122
00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:58,560
Speaker 1: his representatives appealed the suspension, the six game suspension that

123
00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:02,680
Speaker 1: completed yesterday, and then after that last night, the nfl

124
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:06,279
Speaker 1: PA filed a petition in federal court in Plano, Texas,

125
00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:10,440
Speaker 1: um to prevent the suspension and or expected to file

126
00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:13,880
Speaker 1: a temporary restraining order. And they did it based upon

127
00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:16,279
Speaker 1: some language that they use where they said that he

128
00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:21,680
Speaker 1: was deprived of fundamental fairness. Um. Basically, I guess the

129
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:24,440
Speaker 1: question for you guys is what was the What was

130
00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:28,000
Speaker 1: the NFL really alleging here was was fundamentally unfair? Because

131
00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:31,880
Speaker 1: obviously the NFL went through its process, it took thirteen months,

132
00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:35,320
Speaker 1: they handed down a six six game suspension. What did

133
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:41,080
Speaker 1: they say was fundamentally unfair? Well, I honestly, like I'm

134
00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:43,960
Speaker 1: always hesitant on these things to talk about when because

135
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:46,320
Speaker 1: when we haven't really been digging deep and looking at

136
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:48,560
Speaker 1: both sides of it. But I think what what they

137
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:51,279
Speaker 1: were saying is is that if you're going to allow

138
00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:54,720
Speaker 1: Zeke to and you're going to basically put him there

139
00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:58,000
Speaker 1: to testify, but then not not say that the witness

140
00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:02,240
Speaker 1: could testify, not put Roger Dell on there um as

141
00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:05,240
Speaker 1: well as Basically what they're saying is is we we're

142
00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:07,839
Speaker 1: okay with hearing one side, but we don't want to

143
00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:12,040
Speaker 1: put that argument up against any others because that's a

144
00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:16,000
Speaker 1: good way to compare you know, you know, black white

145
00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:17,760
Speaker 1: right wrong. I mean you you can look at these

146
00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:20,680
Speaker 1: two things and go, you know what, Uh, that doesn't

147
00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:22,640
Speaker 1: really hold up next to what Zeke is saying, but

148
00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:25,040
Speaker 1: if you don't put her over there, then it's hard

149
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:28,440
Speaker 1: it's harder to do that. And on top of that,

150
00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:30,960
Speaker 1: and you know, that's it's two separate stories. One is

151
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:33,240
Speaker 1: that they're you know, filing for a restraining order, and

152
00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:34,720
Speaker 1: then the other one is the one that came out

153
00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:39,240
Speaker 1: ESPN and to be four star Telegram our friend Clarence Hill,

154
00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:45,080
Speaker 1: Kia Roberts, who's yeah, go Q cool um, Kia Roberts,

155
00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:49,400
Speaker 1: who's a a big just going we're going here, a

156
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:53,400
Speaker 1: big part of this whole investigation. Uh, the only person

157
00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:59,200
Speaker 1: who spoke to Tiffany Thompson in person and examine you know, directly,

158
00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:01,720
Speaker 1: you know, cross examined her and checked her story out.

159
00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:04,560
Speaker 1: She came back from all of that with a recommendation

160
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:08,720
Speaker 1: of no suspension. And then when you know, if you

161
00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:10,920
Speaker 1: remember back to August eleventh, when we were on that

162
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:16,000
Speaker 1: conference call with the NFL's panel, which she was a

163
00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:20,640
Speaker 1: part of, but she was not allowed or not invited

164
00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:24,840
Speaker 1: to the meeting with Roger Goodell where discipline was settled on.

165
00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:28,600
Speaker 1: And so more so than anything, the way I interpreted

166
00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:32,480
Speaker 1: is that that specifically that big red flag, you know,

167
00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:34,640
Speaker 1: on top of the fact that you know, Tiffany Thompson

168
00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:38,200
Speaker 1: wasn't allowed at the appeal, which that standard operating procedure,

169
00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:41,840
Speaker 1: but still in a case where personal testimony is basically

170
00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:45,480
Speaker 1: the main evidence, Zeke's camp was obviously peeved that she

171
00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:47,600
Speaker 1: couldn't be part of that, and then to later find

172
00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:50,160
Speaker 1: out that the only person that has directly spoken with

173
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:53,240
Speaker 1: her wasn't a part of deciding on this, they're basically

174
00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:56,679
Speaker 1: saying this is bull and not only that her recommendation

175
00:08:56,880 --> 00:09:01,800
Speaker 1: of no suspension was obviously completely disregarded when they came

176
00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:05,439
Speaker 1: up with a six games right exactly, and so we

177
00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:07,920
Speaker 1: were talking about that right before we came on. Is

178
00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:11,640
Speaker 1: you could argue that it is. And so much of

179
00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:14,880
Speaker 1: this is about strategy and posturing. You know, obviously stuff

180
00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:16,679
Speaker 1: like this gets leaked to the press for a reason

181
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:19,680
Speaker 1: because you're trying to put pressure on to get the

182
00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:21,680
Speaker 1: result that you want. You want the public to know

183
00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:24,439
Speaker 1: about these things so that you can hear this conversation

184
00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:27,720
Speaker 1: and generate this buzz. That's certainly part of it. On

185
00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:30,679
Speaker 1: top of that, you're sitting here, so you're trying to

186
00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:32,480
Speaker 1: put pressure on them to get the decision you want.

187
00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:35,400
Speaker 1: But also, as I said, I mean when you see

188
00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:41,360
Speaker 1: when you see this stack of and their own language

189
00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:44,960
Speaker 1: says that unfair factors working against you. They're gonna do

190
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:47,880
Speaker 1: what they can to challenge any ruling that they get

191
00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:51,000
Speaker 1: that isn't a vacation of the suspension in my opinion,

192
00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:54,520
Speaker 1: I mean, maybe I'll be wrong, but the way that

193
00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:56,520
Speaker 1: I perceive this whole thing is they're throwing the gauntlet

194
00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:59,679
Speaker 1: down and saying, we're fighting this as long and as

195
00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:01,360
Speaker 1: hard we have to fight it. We're not going to

196
00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:03,559
Speaker 1: take anything less than zero games. See, I don't I

197
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:06,040
Speaker 1: don't know if I agree completely with that. I kind

198
00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:07,920
Speaker 1: of think I agree with you from the standpoint. I

199
00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:12,760
Speaker 1: do believe that that filing this petition was a preemptive

200
00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:15,640
Speaker 1: strike number one, because they wanted to already get it

201
00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:18,040
Speaker 1: out there before. Because if you remember, in the Brady case,

202
00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:21,000
Speaker 1: the NFL sued Brady back, that Brady suited the NFL,

203
00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:23,040
Speaker 1: the NFL suit him back. So I think this was

204
00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:25,240
Speaker 1: kind of a preemptive strike in the same kind of way.

205
00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:27,240
Speaker 1: But I also think it was as you said, it's

206
00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:31,720
Speaker 1: trying to put some public pressure on the NFL to say, hey,

207
00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:34,440
Speaker 1: we want the public to know all these things. That

208
00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:36,800
Speaker 1: kind of stack up that suggest that this was an

209
00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:41,560
Speaker 1: unfair situation and an unfair ruling, So that hopefully as

210
00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:45,679
Speaker 1: knowing that the NFL has a responsibility to its constituents,

211
00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:49,160
Speaker 1: which are as fans, knowing that those people understand all

212
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:53,040
Speaker 1: these other factors, that now when you make your appeal ruling,

213
00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:56,480
Speaker 1: it should factor that in because the people know now, right,

214
00:10:56,720 --> 00:10:58,360
Speaker 1: And so I think that's more of what it is.

215
00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:00,280
Speaker 1: And I would suspect and I'm interested hear what you

216
00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:02,040
Speaker 1: guys think. It sounds like, Dave, you've already kind of

217
00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:04,840
Speaker 1: said what you think on that. But I think that

218
00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:07,000
Speaker 1: if you get if it came back to a game

219
00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:09,920
Speaker 1: or two games, I wonder at least if Zeke is

220
00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:12,000
Speaker 1: willing to say, Okay, I'll step back, I'll take that

221
00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:14,960
Speaker 1: game or two games, get this thing over with, even

222
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:17,440
Speaker 1: though he may still maintain he did nothing wrong. Okay.

223
00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:19,680
Speaker 1: And see now we've flipped from where we were a

224
00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:21,960
Speaker 1: month ago, right. I was the one that was saying that,

225
00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:24,840
Speaker 1: and you were saying, if you're accused of something as

226
00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:26,840
Speaker 1: heinous as this and you know you didn't do it,

227
00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:28,800
Speaker 1: fight it, fight it, fight it. I was saying. I

228
00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:31,520
Speaker 1: was saying. We were also talking about should versus would.

229
00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:34,600
Speaker 1: I'm saying, well, I think he would. Personally, if it

230
00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:36,880
Speaker 1: were me, I would fight it just because I would

231
00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:38,600
Speaker 1: want to regain my name. But I get what I'm

232
00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:42,000
Speaker 1: thinking now is and sure, I mean, strategy is definitely

233
00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:44,000
Speaker 1: part of it. But if you feel strongly enough about

234
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:48,640
Speaker 1: it to preemptively put stuff in court that and we

235
00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:51,120
Speaker 1: have this on paper, I mean, I'm taking them at

236
00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:53,840
Speaker 1: their word. Let's just assume this is true that the

237
00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:57,440
Speaker 1: only person that inventor, that spoke to the accuser in

238
00:11:57,520 --> 00:12:00,880
Speaker 1: person recommended no discipline if you have that as your

239
00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:04,800
Speaker 1: trump card, and I assume. And Clarence wrote that was

240
00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:06,880
Speaker 1: a big part of Jerry's confidence in this whole thing

241
00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:08,880
Speaker 1: in the first place, was that this high ranking NFL

242
00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:12,640
Speaker 1: official he felt confident, was going to recommend no discipline.

243
00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:15,800
Speaker 1: If you've got that in your back pocket, maybe you

244
00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:18,080
Speaker 1: fight it anyway because you're like, you got nothing to

245
00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:21,560
Speaker 1: stand on other than what the CBA allows you to do,

246
00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:25,440
Speaker 1: which obviously that is problematic, Right, that is problematic. But

247
00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:28,240
Speaker 1: I guess it just depends on how strongly you feel

248
00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:30,839
Speaker 1: that this whole thing isn't worth it. Yeah, I just

249
00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:34,640
Speaker 1: can't imagine the NFL handling this any worse than they

250
00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:38,080
Speaker 1: have because when you think about how long they drew

251
00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:41,560
Speaker 1: this out and then they made the decision when they did,

252
00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:44,079
Speaker 1: kind of and then now trying to put some pressure

253
00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:46,200
Speaker 1: that he's got to hurry up and make this decision

254
00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:48,839
Speaker 1: on this appeal. I mean, you knew that Zeke was

255
00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:51,800
Speaker 1: going to appeal this. They knew that for them to

256
00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:55,280
Speaker 1: now kind of put pressure because the season's about to start,

257
00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:58,839
Speaker 1: and this whole time that they investigated, they when they

258
00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:02,520
Speaker 1: finally gave that letter to say why we suspended him,

259
00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:06,520
Speaker 1: and then let left out key parts of the investigation,

260
00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:10,880
Speaker 1: of the investigation that of their own investigator, They left

261
00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:14,160
Speaker 1: her out, they left her recommendations out, and then now

262
00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:16,079
Speaker 1: kind of want to want to force the issue because

263
00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:17,760
Speaker 1: the season's about to start. We got to get this

264
00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:21,440
Speaker 1: appeal process done. I mean, I give credit to Zeke's

265
00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:26,439
Speaker 1: lawyers for moving quickly on this and getting a lot

266
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:28,800
Speaker 1: of information, but I mean, I just think the NFL

267
00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:30,680
Speaker 1: drugged this out and then tried to kind of hope

268
00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:33,040
Speaker 1: for a quick resolution. And now it's going to be

269
00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:35,319
Speaker 1: a real mess because the seasons starting and he's now

270
00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:37,480
Speaker 1: he's gonna have to He's probably gonna get to play

271
00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:40,400
Speaker 1: this first game, because then I don't think they're anywhere

272
00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:43,920
Speaker 1: close to having a decision being made that unless unless,

273
00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:46,480
Speaker 1: I mean unless what you just described happens and they

274
00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:48,920
Speaker 1: give him two and he decides to just take it

275
00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:52,480
Speaker 1: and call it a draw, then I'm yeah, I mean

276
00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:54,840
Speaker 1: he's gonna play. Yeah, I play the whole season, and

277
00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:57,960
Speaker 1: we'll be talking about this in February. That's honestly where

278
00:13:58,000 --> 00:13:59,880
Speaker 1: I think this is going. Yeah, because I honestly I

279
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:02,679
Speaker 1: don't think the NFL. I don't. It's hard for the

280
00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:06,480
Speaker 1: NFL to make a to now make a ruling that

281
00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:10,520
Speaker 1: decreases it significantly. They knew all They've said, they knew

282
00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:13,120
Speaker 1: all this information. Like that's what came out this morning.

283
00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:15,840
Speaker 1: There was a report that said and the NFL said

284
00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:18,640
Speaker 1: in response to all this that they knew this information.

285
00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:21,680
Speaker 1: It was in a situation where the recommendations of the

286
00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:25,000
Speaker 1: investigator were held from the commissioner. The commissioner was well

287
00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:29,320
Speaker 1: aware of what the investigator recommended, So without any new

288
00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:32,840
Speaker 1: information to go from six to two games or six

289
00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:35,560
Speaker 1: to one games, like, how does that make sense? I

290
00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:37,240
Speaker 1: think the NFL, in the same way they did with

291
00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:39,520
Speaker 1: the Brady case. I think they look at it probably

292
00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:42,000
Speaker 1: and say, hey, if we got to go to court,

293
00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:44,000
Speaker 1: we gotta go to court. And what they're still going

294
00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:47,200
Speaker 1: to use as their trump card is we collectively bargain this, guys.

295
00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:50,440
Speaker 1: And because we collectively bargain it, the Commissioner has full

296
00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:52,720
Speaker 1: right and authority to be able to come to whatever

297
00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:55,080
Speaker 1: conclusion he wants to come to and dole out whatever

298
00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:58,600
Speaker 1: punishment he suits he seems he deems is necessary. And

299
00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:01,560
Speaker 1: I don't know that the court it is necessarily going

300
00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:04,600
Speaker 1: to go against that. I'm not super confident in most

301
00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:07,120
Speaker 1: of what I'm saying because I'm not a lawyer. It's

302
00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:10,400
Speaker 1: a lot of writing and legal jargon, and I'm a

303
00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:13,160
Speaker 1: dumb sportswriter. But if there's one thing I'm really confident

304
00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:16,880
Speaker 1: in is that you can't underestimate the league's desire to

305
00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:23,040
Speaker 1: protect itself, protect its image to an unalarmingly stubborn degree

306
00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:26,320
Speaker 1: in my opinion to where yeah, I think they'll they'll

307
00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:29,560
Speaker 1: fight this as long as they have to avoid the

308
00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:33,920
Speaker 1: inference that they're wrong, incompetent, whatever other charge you want

309
00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:35,600
Speaker 1: to lay at their feet. They're not going to let

310
00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:38,760
Speaker 1: that slide. And they're not going to be intimidated by

311
00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:44,120
Speaker 1: Jerry Jones or Zeke or Tom Brady or whoever. We

312
00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:46,200
Speaker 1: saw that with tom Brady. Yeah, Like, there's not a

313
00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:48,600
Speaker 1: bigger name in the NFL than Tom Brady. And for

314
00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:50,560
Speaker 1: them to drag that out as far as they did

315
00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:53,080
Speaker 1: and to go the full length of it with it

316
00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:55,680
Speaker 1: suggests to me that they're not going to be They're

317
00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:57,840
Speaker 1: not going to be less prone to do that with

318
00:15:57,840 --> 00:16:01,440
Speaker 1: Ezekiel Elliott and my personal opinion, and they care more

319
00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:05,680
Speaker 1: about what they look like and how they're seen than

320
00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:08,480
Speaker 1: really any of the actual mechanics of this or the

321
00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:11,560
Speaker 1: morality of it. That's what I think, and they so

322
00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:13,640
Speaker 1: I expect them to fight it as hard and as

323
00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:17,120
Speaker 1: long as they have to avoid looking stupid. Basically, this

324
00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:21,560
Speaker 1: looks like the Mayweather fight to me, Mayweather and McGregor,

325
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:25,680
Speaker 1: because at first Mayweather's just kind of sitting there, he

326
00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:28,400
Speaker 1: was taking the shots and he were kind of like, Hm, Wow,

327
00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:30,240
Speaker 1: how's this going to go? Just kind of and then

328
00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:32,320
Speaker 1: he kind of started coming back. And then about the

329
00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:34,280
Speaker 1: ninth or tenth round and you kind of started to

330
00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:37,360
Speaker 1: see But if it would have gone longer, you never know,

331
00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:39,000
Speaker 1: maybe maybe it would have gone the other way, So

332
00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:42,520
Speaker 1: right now, Zeke's coming back here, Zeke's now got some

333
00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:45,640
Speaker 1: some shots. He looks like he's in sort of control

334
00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:48,920
Speaker 1: of this a little bit. But the end of like

335
00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:51,360
Speaker 1: you just said, the NFL's not done. No one's waving

336
00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:54,720
Speaker 1: the towel quickly on this one and saying, you know,

337
00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:57,520
Speaker 1: was what would have happened later? So I think that that, yeah,

338
00:16:57,560 --> 00:17:00,040
Speaker 1: they he's got leverage right now and he's got a

339
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:03,440
Speaker 1: little bit of momentum, but this is back and forth

340
00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:05,760
Speaker 1: in the NFL's got something in their backpack. And then

341
00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:09,280
Speaker 1: you go back to the whole case about Josh Brown

342
00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:13,480
Speaker 1: and what happened to him and with him admitting what

343
00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:16,200
Speaker 1: he did and he only gets a one game suspension,

344
00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:19,320
Speaker 1: and you compare it to a sequel this whole deal,

345
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:24,000
Speaker 1: Like you guys have been saying, they can't not fight

346
00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:27,600
Speaker 1: this because then again they look like they really messed

347
00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:30,440
Speaker 1: up and all that. But regardless of everything is whether

348
00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:33,600
Speaker 1: can play the first week or not, it's still going

349
00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:37,360
Speaker 1: to affect the team somehow because they're having to make

350
00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:41,879
Speaker 1: cuts this Saturday tomorrow, so their cuts are gonna be

351
00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:45,359
Speaker 1: based on you know, they still don't know what the

352
00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:48,000
Speaker 1: outcome is gonna be and they still have to be

353
00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:51,879
Speaker 1: able to cover that whole and depth. It's a totally

354
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:56,240
Speaker 1: valid point. This is just my opinion, and there's I

355
00:17:56,280 --> 00:17:59,600
Speaker 1: think you're right, and this isn't over by a long shot.

356
00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:03,159
Speaker 1: But I'm more confident than I ever have been that

357
00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:06,800
Speaker 1: he's he's playing. I agree with and so I don't

358
00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:10,680
Speaker 1: even think there's this gray area where you got it like, well,

359
00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:12,000
Speaker 1: how long is it going to be on the team,

360
00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:13,639
Speaker 1: how long do we have to suspend him? Who do

361
00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:16,720
Speaker 1: we keep? Who we cut? That's I don't even consider

362
00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:20,399
Speaker 1: that an issue because I don't think the league is

363
00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:22,600
Speaker 1: going to give them a satisfactory answer to the point

364
00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:25,479
Speaker 1: where they won't push this thing through to court. And

365
00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:28,040
Speaker 1: therefore I expect him to be on the fifty three

366
00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:31,119
Speaker 1: at this point in time, and so whoever you're getting

367
00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:34,080
Speaker 1: rid of to make that work do it. But I

368
00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:36,439
Speaker 1: don't even think of it as being that ambiggest because

369
00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:40,719
Speaker 1: that's how strongly that I view that restraint, that everything

370
00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:42,520
Speaker 1: Zeke's camp has done in the last twenty four hours,

371
00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:45,440
Speaker 1: I view it as a very strong statement that they're

372
00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:48,919
Speaker 1: intent on him playing. This is a huge story in

373
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:52,240
Speaker 1: all of sports, and you think about what drives the

374
00:18:52,359 --> 00:18:55,200
Speaker 1: NFL the most when it comes to money, Like, what's

375
00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:59,920
Speaker 1: the biggest thing they've got financially that puts money in

376
00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:04,439
Speaker 1: their pockets? TV? Okay, why do people watch? Why do

377
00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:07,840
Speaker 1: you think people watched the games as much as they do?

378
00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:12,800
Speaker 1: I mean there's interest in the league, fantasy football, fantasy football?

379
00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:16,040
Speaker 1: Who's the number one player that that could be? Seventy

380
00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:19,280
Speaker 1: five percent of the interactions that I get on a

381
00:19:19,359 --> 00:19:22,359
Speaker 1: daily basis about Zeke are more so from fantasy is

382
00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:24,919
Speaker 1: easily a top three pick. Yeah, without the suspension, he

383
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:27,840
Speaker 1: is easily top three pick. And you're one and two

384
00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:32,120
Speaker 1: picks are not doing anything? Right? Are not your top three?

385
00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:33,760
Speaker 1: Two of the top because it can vary, I think

386
00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:35,840
Speaker 1: those three y but yeah, two of your top three

387
00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:39,240
Speaker 1: guys depending on your league, are there's a big clouds

388
00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:41,560
Speaker 1: a big cloud, right? Yeah? So is there a cloud

389
00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:44,480
Speaker 1: around Bell? Didn't he He hasn't reported yet? Hasn't he

390
00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:48,040
Speaker 1: apos report today? He reported reports? So he's supposed to

391
00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:50,199
Speaker 1: have if he has reported. Your theory on that, if

392
00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:51,960
Speaker 1: you missed all the camps. I don't mess with guys

393
00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:54,480
Speaker 1: that missed all the camp just my thing because I've

394
00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:57,080
Speaker 1: seen too many of them end up with hamstring or whatever.

395
00:19:57,119 --> 00:19:59,080
Speaker 1: Don't make me talk about fantasy football, all right. I'm

396
00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:01,400
Speaker 1: just saying I sa away from those guys. But you're right,

397
00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:04,360
Speaker 1: there's a big cloud. So yeah, just saying that this

398
00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:06,679
Speaker 1: isn't a Dallas thing and the Giants. It's not just

399
00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:09,600
Speaker 1: Giants and Cowboys looking at this. There's there's a guy

400
00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:13,200
Speaker 1: in Sacramento, California, right now who's got a fantasy league

401
00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:15,600
Speaker 1: and he's got the number one pick. You know, unless

402
00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:20,480
Speaker 1: they're unless some people have already done it seventy seventy

403
00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:22,720
Speaker 1: five to ninety five percent, and fantasy football players have

404
00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:24,960
Speaker 1: already drafted. And that's why I think one of the

405
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:29,640
Speaker 1: first three responses to Schefter's tweet about the I keep

406
00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:31,080
Speaker 1: wanting to call it a suit. It's not a suit,

407
00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:33,720
Speaker 1: but the restraining order. You know, he posted the PDF

408
00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:35,720
Speaker 1: of this thing that they sent into the court. The

409
00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:39,000
Speaker 1: third guy to respond is like, fantasy bargain, baby, I

410
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:40,920
Speaker 1: got him in the third round. And there we go that.

411
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:42,359
Speaker 1: I was just about to say that there are a

412
00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:44,720
Speaker 1: ton of people out there that took a flyer and

413
00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:47,320
Speaker 1: said in the second in the third round, I'm gonna

414
00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:49,119
Speaker 1: take a gamble that he's ready to play, or that

415
00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:51,639
Speaker 1: he doesn't play and doesn't miss six games. I'm one

416
00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:54,280
Speaker 1: of those people that are now sitting there looking like, man,

417
00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:56,600
Speaker 1: take this thing the court, take it to court. I

418
00:20:56,640 --> 00:21:00,600
Speaker 1: wanted him playing a nerve. I'm just saying, like, there

419
00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:02,680
Speaker 1: are a bunch of people out there like that. You're right, Nick,

420
00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:05,159
Speaker 1: that drives a lot of the interest around the NFL

421
00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:07,680
Speaker 1: is fantasy football, and so there are a bunch of

422
00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:10,600
Speaker 1: people who are sitting with interest, right, you know, the

423
00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:13,359
Speaker 1: not only fantasy football, but betting them. Right, you can

424
00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:16,120
Speaker 1: bind those two audiences. Yeah, buddy, what do you say

425
00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:18,040
Speaker 1: is that? Is that sixty five seventy What do you

426
00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:20,560
Speaker 1: think that sixty five seventy percent of your of your

427
00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:24,520
Speaker 1: watching fan base is either betting or playing fantasy football?

428
00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:27,359
Speaker 1: Would you guess the amount of people who are like

429
00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:30,960
Speaker 1: seriously more invested in the NFL and like live and

430
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:33,000
Speaker 1: die with it with having no money on the line,

431
00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:37,320
Speaker 1: is like fewer than fifteen percent? Yeah, like getting which

432
00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:39,960
Speaker 1: I would argue though, like that fifteen percent are the

433
00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:43,400
Speaker 1: people that listen to our shows and go to our website.

434
00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:47,080
Speaker 1: I mean, like we they're just hardcore diehards. We deal

435
00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:50,760
Speaker 1: in diehards, but seventy five to ninety percent of just

436
00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:54,080
Speaker 1: the average league fan base, the three hundred million people

437
00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:56,359
Speaker 1: that watch the NFL every year, the investment pority of

438
00:21:56,359 --> 00:21:59,639
Speaker 1: those people have money invested Monday Monday night football games.

439
00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:02,200
Speaker 1: The at ups have really been horrible lately. I mean

440
00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:04,320
Speaker 1: the last couple of years that they don't really have

441
00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:08,320
Speaker 1: great matchups. But you've probably got a fantasy player on

442
00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:10,960
Speaker 1: their receiver and you're down by twelve points and you

443
00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:13,560
Speaker 1: you want him, just just throw the ball to Julio Jones.

444
00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:14,919
Speaker 1: That's it. That's all I care. But I don't care

445
00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:17,719
Speaker 1: who wins or whatever. Ye people, people, a lot of

446
00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:19,960
Speaker 1: the betters put their money on that last game just

447
00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:21,840
Speaker 1: because it's something to watch. Let's go ahead and take

448
00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:24,000
Speaker 1: our first break. When we come back, we will have

449
00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:25,960
Speaker 1: more talk. We'll have a little bit more well and

450
00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:28,200
Speaker 1: get to maybe on this topic, but we'll definitely move

451
00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:29,879
Speaker 1: on to talk a little bit about even though the

452
00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:32,280
Speaker 1: Cowboys didn't play the Texans last night, we want to

453
00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:33,800
Speaker 1: throw out some names and some guys that could have

454
00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:36,560
Speaker 1: used that game, players that might be on the bubble

455
00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:39,280
Speaker 1: coming this weekend. When when cuts come tomorrow, we'll talk

456
00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:40,720
Speaker 1: about that when we come right back. This is Dallas

457
00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:43,760
Speaker 1: Cowboys dot Com Radio. We the entertainment loving people, demand

458
00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:46,560
Speaker 1: the best unlimited wireless plan ever from ATNT. What else

459
00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:48,840
Speaker 1: do you want to you Unicorn? Maybe only a T

460
00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:51,240
Speaker 1: and T offers you unlimited data with HBO included and

496

Speaker 1: Back to the Break, Welcome back. It's the second segment

505
00:25:16,119 --> 00:25:18,159
Speaker 1: of the Break. We were locking the st WBC mortgage

506
00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:20,960
Speaker 1: studios at the Star. We're heading into week one of

507
00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:23,480
Speaker 1: the NFL season, and I'm so excited that we're done

508
00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:27,280
Speaker 1: with preseason and done with training camp and it's about

509
00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:29,520
Speaker 1: time to are You're about to have an expletive in

510
00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:32,720
Speaker 1: there somewhere. You kind of made like a it's okay, No,

511
00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:36,600
Speaker 1: I didn't kind of made like a no, not at all. No, sorry,

512
00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:38,560
Speaker 1: I was just saying that I was saying, I'm happy

513
00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:41,440
Speaker 1: that we're done with preseason and training camp already. This

514
00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:44,960
Speaker 1: has been the longest, seemingly longest preseason in training camp.

515
00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:48,440
Speaker 1: Forty days. Yeah, it just seemed very long. Forty days

516
00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:51,399
Speaker 1: from that from the time we landed in California until

517
00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:54,800
Speaker 1: the last practice, which we'll call last night, forty days. Yeah,

518
00:25:55,560 --> 00:26:00,760
Speaker 1: you got Lucky, you got Zeke, you got Demontre, Moore, Canton.

519
00:26:01,119 --> 00:26:03,600
Speaker 1: I had forgotten about Lucky, you got the Tyrone and

520
00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:06,639
Speaker 1: Hitchins injuries. Like, I feel like we've played a season

521
00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:09,639
Speaker 1: and this season hasn't started. It's unbelievable. Yeah, and then

522
00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:12,960
Speaker 1: you had this last week, which was again mother Nature.

523
00:26:13,080 --> 00:26:15,720
Speaker 1: But yeah, oh and I forgot. Yeah, the Texans come

524
00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:18,320
Speaker 1: in practice here and kind of figuring out whether we're

525
00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:20,840
Speaker 1: going to actually have a game here, and it's just,

526
00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:23,000
Speaker 1: I don't know. Just the whole thing was kind of

527
00:26:23,080 --> 00:26:26,920
Speaker 1: a fitting wrap up to what has been an extremely

528
00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:30,960
Speaker 1: crazy and unpredictable preseason and training camp for the Cowboys.

529
00:26:31,359 --> 00:26:33,320
Speaker 1: But now we get into some football and we'll head

530
00:26:33,359 --> 00:26:36,119
Speaker 1: into Week one next week. Let's go ahead and move

531
00:26:36,200 --> 00:26:39,000
Speaker 1: on and talk a little bit about that non game

532
00:26:39,119 --> 00:26:43,000
Speaker 1: last night. The Cowboys instead of having the game because

533
00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:46,119
Speaker 1: the Texans obviously had an opportunity to go home, and

534
00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:48,800
Speaker 1: rightfully so, they should have gone home. At that point,

535
00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:52,760
Speaker 1: they canceled the game and instead we had the telethon.

536
00:26:52,920 --> 00:26:54,680
Speaker 1: But as a part of the telethon, there was also

537
00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:58,280
Speaker 1: a practice for the younger guys, the guys that probably

538
00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:00,920
Speaker 1: would have played, definitely would have played in that final

539
00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:04,960
Speaker 1: preseason game. Talk to me, and I'll let each you

540
00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:06,920
Speaker 1: guys kind of talk, but talk to me about a

541
00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:09,960
Speaker 1: guy or two that you think really could have used

542
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:12,240
Speaker 1: that game, or that's sitting on the bubble that really

543
00:27:12,359 --> 00:27:15,399
Speaker 1: is going to need that's gonna can garner some serious

544
00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:17,920
Speaker 1: consideration as to whether he's on this team or not

545
00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:22,160
Speaker 1: on this team come tomorrow. How about Selfishly, I'm really

546
00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:24,800
Speaker 1: happy that they that Noah Brown didn't have to play

547
00:27:24,800 --> 00:27:27,159
Speaker 1: another game because, like, because all he could do is

548
00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:30,719
Speaker 1: hurt himself in my opinion, and litter either literally or figuratively.

549
00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:32,440
Speaker 1: Because I think he's on the team right now, I

550
00:27:32,520 --> 00:27:36,800
Speaker 1: think he played well, He's played well throughout the preseason.

551
00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:38,840
Speaker 1: They put him in with the starters against the Raiders.

552
00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:42,200
Speaker 1: He I think he's the sixth receiver on this team.

553
00:27:42,359 --> 00:27:44,240
Speaker 1: But if he goes out and just stinks up the

554
00:27:44,359 --> 00:27:46,840
Speaker 1: joint against the Texans. I don't maybe I don't know.

555
00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:49,160
Speaker 1: Maybe they changed the conversation. So I was like, yeah,

556
00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:51,399
Speaker 1: you just you just stay over here and don't do

557
00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:54,480
Speaker 1: anything else, don't put any There's a young player on

558
00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:57,680
Speaker 1: this team that is reading these stories or listening to

559
00:27:57,800 --> 00:27:59,520
Speaker 1: it in the locker room and says, you mean Zeke

560
00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:02,080
Speaker 1: may not get it's suspended, like yeah, like that's awesome.

561
00:28:02,119 --> 00:28:03,600
Speaker 1: And it could be Noah Brown, who would be like

562
00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:06,760
Speaker 1: that's great, Buckeye. Well someone's getting cut because of this.

563
00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:11,439
Speaker 1: Some player is gonna get released because Zeke is now

564
00:28:11,840 --> 00:28:14,080
Speaker 1: could be on the roster because I don't think it's

565
00:28:14,119 --> 00:28:15,960
Speaker 1: gonna be a running back. I don't think they would

566
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:18,000
Speaker 1: do that because of all these things that are up

567
00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:20,840
Speaker 1: in the air. So it's just somebody down the roster.

568
00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:24,200
Speaker 1: We're gonna go lighter at linebacker. Maybe it's a Nazache,

569
00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:26,639
Speaker 1: maybe it's Noah Brown, maybe it's a Marquez White. But

570
00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:30,399
Speaker 1: there's somebody out there that's gonna feel the ramifications of this,

571
00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:32,560
Speaker 1: and I think it could be Noah Brown. You gotta

572
00:28:32,560 --> 00:28:35,239
Speaker 1: go along at running back. Maybe you're not going as

573
00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:37,879
Speaker 1: long as a receiver. I don't know. You know, one

574
00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:39,600
Speaker 1: of the things that's interesting to me about just a

575
00:28:39,640 --> 00:28:42,120
Speaker 1: guy like Noah Brown. I wonder, I know, we're around

576
00:28:42,200 --> 00:28:44,160
Speaker 1: here and so we see practice every day. I wonder

577
00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:46,680
Speaker 1: if they're you know, I don't know fifteen of the

578
00:28:46,760 --> 00:28:49,320
Speaker 1: thirty two teams have a Noah Brown. Yes? Or is

579
00:28:49,360 --> 00:28:52,280
Speaker 1: it very common? Is Noah Brown a very common guy?

580
00:28:52,880 --> 00:28:55,600
Speaker 1: A really good guy from the standpoint of a rookie,

581
00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:58,080
Speaker 1: a guy that comes in his first camp and can

582
00:28:58,200 --> 00:28:59,640
Speaker 1: make it, you know, make you say, wow, that was

583
00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:02,160
Speaker 1: a prey the nice thing that he just did. But

584
00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:05,360
Speaker 1: I'm looking at a team like the Seahawks, and they

585
00:29:05,440 --> 00:29:07,840
Speaker 1: got their reports out there that that Curse who's been

586
00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:09,880
Speaker 1: with them now I guess probably four years or so.

587
00:29:09,960 --> 00:29:12,520
Speaker 1: I would yes, more than that, I think he's a

588
00:29:12,560 --> 00:29:14,560
Speaker 1: guy that they got kind of they're waving out for

589
00:29:14,840 --> 00:29:18,320
Speaker 1: from trades, and it's like, that's a Noah Brown type guy, right.

590
00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:22,440
Speaker 1: Are those guys pretty plentiful so that maybe you could

591
00:29:22,480 --> 00:29:24,280
Speaker 1: get a guy like Noah Brown onto your practice squad.

592
00:29:24,360 --> 00:29:26,400
Speaker 1: You're saying a good player like I don't think Jermaine

593
00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:30,160
Speaker 1: Curse and Noah Brown are like similar actual no no, no, no, no, no, okay,

594
00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:32,880
Speaker 1: I'm saying from the standpoint of their quality of players. Right.

595
00:29:33,040 --> 00:29:35,120
Speaker 1: I said that back earlier in training camp. Is you

596
00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:37,040
Speaker 1: spend so much time around these guys you kind of

597
00:29:37,080 --> 00:29:40,080
Speaker 1: can't see the forest for the trees, Like you really

598
00:29:40,120 --> 00:29:41,800
Speaker 1: can't get them to the practice squad. You just think

599
00:29:41,840 --> 00:29:44,960
Speaker 1: there's no way you can get him. Sure, but when

600
00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:46,880
Speaker 1: you the day you think that's gonna happen is the

601
00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:48,760
Speaker 1: day he gets snatched up when you cut him. I mean,

602
00:29:48,840 --> 00:29:52,120
Speaker 1: you have to be open to that possibility. If you're

603
00:29:52,120 --> 00:29:54,560
Speaker 1: gonna cut him, only one team wants has to want him, right, right,

604
00:29:54,640 --> 00:29:57,920
Speaker 1: if you're absolutely if you're absolutely just dead set like

605
00:29:58,000 --> 00:30:00,400
Speaker 1: we can't risk it, then the only the only thing

606
00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:03,640
Speaker 1: you can do is keep him, Which you're right. I

607
00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:05,800
Speaker 1: think pretty much every team has a guy like that.

608
00:30:06,080 --> 00:30:08,640
Speaker 1: But I've just been not just by what I've seen,

609
00:30:08,840 --> 00:30:12,720
Speaker 1: but the skill not to the point I was trying

610
00:30:12,720 --> 00:30:15,280
Speaker 1: to make. He's not Jermaine Curse because Jermaine Curse isn't

611
00:30:15,320 --> 00:30:17,440
Speaker 1: six two and a half two hundred and thirty pounds.

612
00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:21,160
Speaker 1: I mean, he's got measurables that don't come along all

613
00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:23,720
Speaker 1: that often. But Jermaine Curse has actually made some plays

614
00:30:23,760 --> 00:30:26,280
Speaker 1: in this like he's made some plays. Your main curse

615
00:30:26,840 --> 00:30:30,840
Speaker 1: would be the hero of Super Bowl forty whatever it

616
00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:33,600
Speaker 1: was forty nine. Run the ball? Had they run the

617
00:30:33,640 --> 00:30:36,160
Speaker 1: ball at the one? I mean that nobody remembers that catch. Yes,

618
00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:37,960
Speaker 1: no it was a it was a heck like nobody

619
00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:41,040
Speaker 1: remembers that pitch. So yeah, he's great. Whatever. I just

620
00:30:41,240 --> 00:30:43,200
Speaker 1: I like Noah Brown. I think he's gonna make the team. Whatever,

621
00:30:43,240 --> 00:30:45,080
Speaker 1: get off my back. I think the guy that I

622
00:30:45,200 --> 00:30:47,920
Speaker 1: think the guy that could have used the game. Oh

623
00:30:48,760 --> 00:30:51,760
Speaker 1: and he might be okay anyways, but I think Lewis

624
00:30:51,920 --> 00:30:55,840
Speaker 1: Neil a game like that where he's gonna play a lot,

625
00:30:56,480 --> 00:30:58,320
Speaker 1: and he could have made a few tackles there. He

626
00:30:58,360 --> 00:31:01,360
Speaker 1: could have made some sacks. Tackle behind the line of scrimmage.

627
00:31:01,640 --> 00:31:04,720
Speaker 1: You know, there are two spots opening for the defensive line,

628
00:31:05,080 --> 00:31:07,400
Speaker 1: and Taffer just doesn't feel like he wants to take

629
00:31:07,520 --> 00:31:11,000
Speaker 1: one of them. So, you know, I think that there's

630
00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:14,680
Speaker 1: you got to get somebody in there, Joey Ivey, Lewis Neil,

631
00:31:15,760 --> 00:31:18,680
Speaker 1: because he's got position flex. I think that that, you know,

632
00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:21,960
Speaker 1: he has a shot. But every guy that gets cut,

633
00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:25,200
Speaker 1: I guarantee they're gonna go the you know Microsoft Excel

634
00:31:25,280 --> 00:31:27,960
Speaker 1: and sort by defensive end defensive tackle, and they're gonna

635
00:31:27,960 --> 00:31:29,240
Speaker 1: look at all of them, and I have a feeling

636
00:31:29,280 --> 00:31:30,640
Speaker 1: that some of them are going to be better than

637
00:31:30,760 --> 00:31:34,400
Speaker 1: Joey Ivy and Lewis Neil, And I think that that's

638
00:31:34,440 --> 00:31:37,600
Speaker 1: a classic case where the fifty three will come out

639
00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:41,040
Speaker 1: on Saturday and it'll be final for less than twenty

640
00:31:41,080 --> 00:31:44,000
Speaker 1: four hours. And maybe Lewis Neil makes the team on

641
00:31:44,080 --> 00:31:46,360
Speaker 1: Saturday and he's not on it by Monday morning, and

642
00:31:46,680 --> 00:31:51,280
Speaker 1: every single year it will it will happen one to

643
00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:53,320
Speaker 1: three guys who are not on this team now will

644
00:31:53,320 --> 00:31:55,560
Speaker 1: be on the final fifty three. Sunday is a very

645
00:31:55,920 --> 00:31:59,320
Speaker 1: underrated day about it's, you know things, guys that are

646
00:31:59,360 --> 00:32:02,760
Speaker 1: getting claimed. Him to defensive Defensive line is a space

647
00:32:02,840 --> 00:32:06,280
Speaker 1: that I'm looking at. We always say final roster, right,

648
00:32:06,760 --> 00:32:08,800
Speaker 1: it's the farthest thing from it. I mean, if you

649
00:32:08,880 --> 00:32:11,640
Speaker 1: want to get real meta, it's never final because how

650
00:32:11,720 --> 00:32:14,080
Speaker 1: many transactions do they do during the course of the year.

651
00:32:14,240 --> 00:32:17,320
Speaker 1: But back in I mean back into the D line,

652
00:32:18,080 --> 00:32:20,800
Speaker 1: back into the linebacker depth chart is a place that

653
00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:25,040
Speaker 1: I'm looking maybe offensive line, but I kind of doubt it.

654
00:32:25,120 --> 00:32:28,120
Speaker 1: I know, I think we've had that argument before. Noah

655
00:32:28,200 --> 00:32:34,120
Speaker 1: Brown Emmit Cleary, Mark Nasacha, Marquez White, Robert Blanton, Robert

656
00:32:34,160 --> 00:32:39,880
Speaker 1: Blanton and uh, you know, not Tapper, He's gonna make it.

657
00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:43,400
Speaker 1: But but uh, you know, Louis Neil, Joey, Iby. I

658
00:32:43,440 --> 00:32:47,080
Speaker 1: mean this it's is More. Does More have something? Well,

659
00:32:47,120 --> 00:32:51,400
Speaker 1: I guess no. No is Demontre Moore, guy that you

660
00:32:51,480 --> 00:32:53,320
Speaker 1: think is on that bubble. You think he's clearly on

661
00:32:53,400 --> 00:32:55,320
Speaker 1: the team. Well, he won't be on the team because

662
00:32:55,320 --> 00:32:57,400
Speaker 1: he's suspended. Obviously, we I think we talked about this

663
00:32:57,520 --> 00:33:01,680
Speaker 1: last anything with him. He is he if he was

664
00:33:01,720 --> 00:33:04,600
Speaker 1: not suspended, he is a stone cold lock for me, Like,

665
00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:06,680
Speaker 1: I agree with that, not even up for debate. And

666
00:33:06,800 --> 00:33:09,520
Speaker 1: I think they're gonna be counting the minutes until he

667
00:33:09,600 --> 00:33:11,760
Speaker 1: gets back. That's how good he's been during the preseason.

668
00:33:11,920 --> 00:33:16,040
Speaker 1: So he goes straight to reserve suspended. And yeah, I

669
00:33:16,480 --> 00:33:20,480
Speaker 1: think I'm not one of the two Irving and More.

670
00:33:20,760 --> 00:33:22,760
Speaker 1: One of them is allowed at the facility during his

671
00:33:22,840 --> 00:33:24,840
Speaker 1: suspension and one of them's not, I think, But I

672
00:33:24,920 --> 00:33:28,840
Speaker 1: don't remember which is which. Probably I would think More, Yeah,

673
00:33:29,680 --> 00:33:31,480
Speaker 1: I think too. I don't know, but either way, you'll

674
00:33:31,480 --> 00:33:33,400
Speaker 1: get him back in time for week three. And I

675
00:33:33,520 --> 00:33:37,760
Speaker 1: think whoever. You know they claim somebody or maybe you

676
00:33:37,880 --> 00:33:40,600
Speaker 1: keep maybe you don't bother getting somebody on the defensive

677
00:33:40,640 --> 00:33:42,720
Speaker 1: line because you know you're cutting Lewis Neil. When de

678
00:33:42,800 --> 00:33:45,800
Speaker 1: Montremore comes back in two weeks, I mean, it's all

679
00:33:46,080 --> 00:33:47,720
Speaker 1: it's all up in the air. What is the deal

680
00:33:47,760 --> 00:33:50,960
Speaker 1: with Duke Thomas. He sustained the injury. He was having

681
00:33:51,040 --> 00:33:54,120
Speaker 1: a great camp, having a great preseason, and then the

682
00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:55,960
Speaker 1: injury comes, which is what you hate to see for

683
00:33:56,120 --> 00:33:58,400
Speaker 1: young guy who's trying to make a team. This is

684
00:33:58,400 --> 00:34:00,440
Speaker 1: going to be a tricky one for the cowboy because

685
00:34:00,800 --> 00:34:03,000
Speaker 1: you could do an injury settlement and just let him

686
00:34:03,080 --> 00:34:06,000
Speaker 1: kind of go. You pay him for however many weeks

687
00:34:06,040 --> 00:34:07,720
Speaker 1: he's going to be hurt, which he's got a high

688
00:34:07,720 --> 00:34:13,440
Speaker 1: ankle sprain and a sprain himcl so, but the problem

689
00:34:13,480 --> 00:34:15,959
Speaker 1: about that is you do injury settlement, you're the last

690
00:34:16,040 --> 00:34:18,359
Speaker 1: team that can get him back. He's got to clear

691
00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:20,560
Speaker 1: through waivers and then like I think, there's like a

692
00:34:20,640 --> 00:34:23,040
Speaker 1: four to six week period and then you can get

693
00:34:23,120 --> 00:34:26,319
Speaker 1: him back. So that's not the route. If you like him,

694
00:34:26,840 --> 00:34:29,320
Speaker 1: you could put him on injured reserve and probably just

695
00:34:29,480 --> 00:34:31,839
Speaker 1: keep him there. He's not one of my guys, I'd

696
00:34:31,880 --> 00:34:34,000
Speaker 1: bring back after eight weeks. You know, you can only

697
00:34:34,080 --> 00:34:37,560
Speaker 1: do that twice Rico. That might happen with Rico, so

698
00:34:37,760 --> 00:34:39,640
Speaker 1: I could see him going to injured reserve and just

699
00:34:40,040 --> 00:34:43,560
Speaker 1: probably clearing waivers, you know, and then you've just reverts

700
00:34:43,600 --> 00:34:45,839
Speaker 1: to your back to your IR and he stays there

701
00:34:46,200 --> 00:34:48,120
Speaker 1: and there's no harm in that, right to me, I

702
00:34:48,200 --> 00:34:50,640
Speaker 1: think that's the best cases he doesn't play full for him.

703
00:34:50,960 --> 00:34:52,640
Speaker 1: I'm saying from the standpoint of the team, if you

704
00:34:52,680 --> 00:34:54,120
Speaker 1: want to be if you think he's a young guy

705
00:34:54,200 --> 00:34:57,359
Speaker 1: that can develop into something, then you and you want

706
00:34:57,360 --> 00:34:59,120
Speaker 1: to keep him. This is your way to keep him

707
00:34:59,160 --> 00:35:02,480
Speaker 1: on the roster without how to affect your roster. Right, absolutely,

708
00:35:02,680 --> 00:35:07,080
Speaker 1: but I it sucks being a not great player in

709
00:35:07,160 --> 00:35:10,839
Speaker 1: the NFL, like if you're expendable, and honestly, if if

710
00:35:11,040 --> 00:35:13,160
Speaker 1: you know and I don't know the severe severity of

711
00:35:13,239 --> 00:35:16,040
Speaker 1: Rico's concussion, maybe he does need the extra time. But again,

712
00:35:16,480 --> 00:35:18,640
Speaker 1: if he's a guy that winds up on IR mainly

713
00:35:18,760 --> 00:35:22,040
Speaker 1: as roster management, then he's not practicing for six to

714
00:35:22,160 --> 00:35:25,120
Speaker 1: eight weeks. It's the same thing and it's effective from

715
00:35:25,120 --> 00:35:27,840
Speaker 1: a team standpoint. But Duke Thomas won't be able to

716
00:35:27,920 --> 00:35:29,680
Speaker 1: get better for a year and he won't be able

717
00:35:29,719 --> 00:35:31,760
Speaker 1: to go somewhere else and get better, and that sucks

718
00:35:31,800 --> 00:35:33,759
Speaker 1: for him, and I get why the Cowboys do it,

719
00:35:33,800 --> 00:35:35,759
Speaker 1: But it also depends on how long he's gonna be injured. Yea,

720
00:35:35,920 --> 00:35:37,680
Speaker 1: if this injury is gonna be I don't know how

721
00:35:37,719 --> 00:35:39,160
Speaker 1: long it's gonna be up throwing out a number, so

722
00:35:39,239 --> 00:35:40,719
Speaker 1: don't quote me on this, but if it's a six

723
00:35:40,800 --> 00:35:42,880
Speaker 1: week injury, if you're gonna go six weeks into the

724
00:35:42,960 --> 00:35:46,360
Speaker 1: season with this, then you know, maybe it is worth it,

725
00:35:46,520 --> 00:35:48,319
Speaker 1: just because you know it's going to take up half

726
00:35:48,400 --> 00:35:51,600
Speaker 1: to almost half, right, and high ankle sprain is one thing,

727
00:35:51,680 --> 00:35:54,640
Speaker 1: but mcl sprain, I mean he might he might actually

728
00:35:54,760 --> 00:35:56,919
Speaker 1: need some time with that, which in that case it's

729
00:35:56,920 --> 00:35:59,239
Speaker 1: not that big of a deal. But I tend to

730
00:35:59,320 --> 00:36:03,480
Speaker 1: have a more or sympathy for the struggling player who's

731
00:36:03,480 --> 00:36:06,759
Speaker 1: trying to make it over the multi billion dollar corporation

732
00:36:06,920 --> 00:36:09,279
Speaker 1: that's just managing its roster. Yeah, I get that, but

733
00:36:09,360 --> 00:36:11,320
Speaker 1: it also I would say this though, it is a

734
00:36:11,440 --> 00:36:14,040
Speaker 1: good advantage for him because I don't know that teams

735
00:36:14,080 --> 00:36:16,040
Speaker 1: would be rushing out to pull him up to put

736
00:36:16,120 --> 00:36:18,320
Speaker 1: him on their team. He's got, you know, an injury

737
00:36:18,400 --> 00:36:21,319
Speaker 1: that's that's serious. You know, So if he stays here,

738
00:36:21,360 --> 00:36:23,520
Speaker 1: he gets the rehab that he needs here, he still

739
00:36:23,560 --> 00:36:25,920
Speaker 1: can be working out and getting stronger. Right, and then

740
00:36:26,360 --> 00:36:27,920
Speaker 1: once you know, once you get to the offseason and

741
00:36:27,960 --> 00:36:30,040
Speaker 1: he starts back into the offseason program and works toward

742
00:36:30,480 --> 00:36:32,560
Speaker 1: possibly making the team next year. So it's not all

743
00:36:32,680 --> 00:36:35,440
Speaker 1: bad for the player in that kind of situation, if

744
00:36:35,480 --> 00:36:37,840
Speaker 1: that's what they deem true, right situation or the right

745
00:36:37,880 --> 00:36:41,120
Speaker 1: way to go on this. And then in January or February,

746
00:36:41,239 --> 00:36:43,760
Speaker 1: whenever the season ends whatever, not trying to say anything,

747
00:36:43,880 --> 00:36:46,560
Speaker 1: but whenever the season ends, then we're like, yeah, they

748
00:36:46,640 --> 00:36:49,359
Speaker 1: got Duke Thomas. He'll be back with an aber, he'll

749
00:36:49,400 --> 00:36:53,120
Speaker 1: be better, he's expisode excited. And then the off season

750
00:36:53,360 --> 00:36:57,120
Speaker 1: hype train continues again, and we started all over next year.

751
00:36:57,160 --> 00:36:59,320
Speaker 1: There we go just something you're about to say, it

752
00:36:59,400 --> 00:37:01,040
Speaker 1: might just be on the team. It's just depending on

753
00:37:01,200 --> 00:37:02,560
Speaker 1: how they do it, and he might just be on

754
00:37:02,680 --> 00:37:05,200
Speaker 1: their ire. And then he's just he's yeah. And that's

755
00:37:05,239 --> 00:37:06,800
Speaker 1: also the question I was going to ask too, is

756
00:37:07,040 --> 00:37:09,560
Speaker 1: let's assume that that they do decide that this injury

757
00:37:09,640 --> 00:37:11,480
Speaker 1: is not a long term win and because of what

758
00:37:11,560 --> 00:37:13,719
Speaker 1: he's done so far that they wanted just making a

759
00:37:13,760 --> 00:37:15,919
Speaker 1: part of the team. Does that mean Mark was White

760
00:37:16,200 --> 00:37:19,799
Speaker 1: is now out of the picture or do they keep

761
00:37:19,960 --> 00:37:21,959
Speaker 1: Can they have do that room for Mark Quez? White

762
00:37:22,040 --> 00:37:24,520
Speaker 1: makes the team? Okay? I mean, but I think he

763
00:37:24,600 --> 00:37:27,080
Speaker 1: makes the team because Duke is in. Yeah, I agree.

764
00:37:27,120 --> 00:37:29,680
Speaker 1: I thought Duke's spend better. But I think Mark Quez

765
00:37:29,800 --> 00:37:32,960
Speaker 1: is gonna make it. M The only reason he wouldn't

766
00:37:33,160 --> 00:37:38,239
Speaker 1: is if they decide that Robert Blanton needs to be

767
00:37:38,400 --> 00:37:41,120
Speaker 1: on the team right now for special teams purposes and

768
00:37:41,200 --> 00:37:43,680
Speaker 1: all that. But I I always forget about him. I

769
00:37:43,719 --> 00:37:46,959
Speaker 1: think seven cornerbacks, they would go seven cornerbacks. That would

770
00:37:46,960 --> 00:37:48,680
Speaker 1: only be six. I think it's just six? Am I

771
00:37:48,800 --> 00:37:53,719
Speaker 1: counting wrong? Yeah? Ten guys Anthony Brown, three, Rick carrolwn

772
00:37:54,440 --> 00:37:58,279
Speaker 1: Lewis Scandrick, Duke Thomas and Mark was White. We're talking

773
00:37:58,280 --> 00:38:01,040
Speaker 1: about a situation where Duke Thomas Thomas is not. But

774
00:38:01,080 --> 00:38:03,000
Speaker 1: that's why I was just asking that. My first question was,

775
00:38:03,120 --> 00:38:05,240
Speaker 1: I thought you were saying that what if they decided

776
00:38:05,239 --> 00:38:06,520
Speaker 1: they just wanted to go ahead and put him on

777
00:38:06,560 --> 00:38:08,200
Speaker 1: the roster. No, no, no, that's not what I say.

778
00:38:08,480 --> 00:38:11,800
Speaker 1: You wave him injured he reverts to your ir he

779
00:38:11,960 --> 00:38:15,120
Speaker 1: stays here, he rehabs, he does things. When the season's over,

780
00:38:15,239 --> 00:38:17,480
Speaker 1: he's on your team, just like if another guy gets

781
00:38:17,560 --> 00:38:19,279
Speaker 1: hurt and he's on injured reserve for the year. Right,

782
00:38:19,280 --> 00:38:20,879
Speaker 1: I got he's on your team. I thought you were saying,

783
00:38:21,200 --> 00:38:23,200
Speaker 1: or the other option, just make him put him on

784
00:38:23,239 --> 00:38:25,400
Speaker 1: the roster. No, okay, I got you. You don't think this,

785
00:38:25,480 --> 00:38:27,040
Speaker 1: and you think this injury is enough to where they

786
00:38:27,080 --> 00:38:28,840
Speaker 1: can't just put him on the roster. Yeah. Yeah, And

787
00:38:28,960 --> 00:38:31,759
Speaker 1: he's not good enough to just do that. If he

788
00:38:31,880 --> 00:38:34,640
Speaker 1: was Patrick Peterson, maybe you do that. Yeah. Not. So

789
00:38:34,960 --> 00:38:36,640
Speaker 1: have we heard anything about a timetable on how long

790
00:38:36,640 --> 00:38:40,960
Speaker 1: he's gonna be out? Sprain MCL and I'm frain MCL

791
00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:43,920
Speaker 1: has always been four to six. High ankle sprain can

792
00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:46,680
Speaker 1: be anywhere between one week and a year, So I

793
00:38:46,800 --> 00:38:48,960
Speaker 1: don't I don't really know. And that's that seems to

794
00:38:49,040 --> 00:38:51,320
Speaker 1: be the going thing that comes to high ankle sprains.

795
00:38:51,360 --> 00:38:53,360
Speaker 1: He's just never know. I've seen Patrick Crayton get a

796
00:38:53,440 --> 00:38:55,640
Speaker 1: high ankle sprain on Sunday, play on the Thanksgiving Day

797
00:38:55,680 --> 00:38:57,919
Speaker 1: game on Thursday. I've seen a guy get high ankle

798
00:38:57,960 --> 00:39:00,239
Speaker 1: sprain Week two and it bothered him. Next year camp,

799
00:39:00,560 --> 00:39:02,440
Speaker 1: I was gonna say, Randy Gregory, you got a high

800
00:39:02,440 --> 00:39:05,600
Speaker 1: ankle sprain in his first ever game and he missed

801
00:39:05,680 --> 00:39:09,080
Speaker 1: like seven weeks. So you just never know. Depends on

802
00:39:09,160 --> 00:39:11,399
Speaker 1: the position and all that. But I would think I've

803
00:39:11,440 --> 00:39:13,600
Speaker 1: never covered an NFL receiver, But I would think if

804
00:39:13,640 --> 00:39:16,319
Speaker 1: you're a cornerback in this league and you probably would

805
00:39:16,400 --> 00:39:19,239
Speaker 1: need to healthy ankles to go cover these guys, maybe

806
00:39:19,360 --> 00:39:22,640
Speaker 1: I would think maybe, right, he went to Texas, so

807
00:39:22,719 --> 00:39:25,080
Speaker 1: maybe he's got super strings. We do special things. We

856
00:41:41,239 --> 00:41:43,799
Speaker 1: break Welcome back. It's the final segment of the Break

857
00:41:43,800 --> 00:41:47,839
Speaker 1: Black in SWBC Mortgage Studios at the Star and we've

858
00:41:47,880 --> 00:41:50,040
Speaker 1: been talking about the fifty three man roster we had.

859
00:41:50,480 --> 00:41:52,759
Speaker 1: Dave was saying how much he really believes Noah Brown

860
00:41:52,840 --> 00:41:55,440
Speaker 1: makes his team, And I assume Jerry was listening to

861
00:41:55,520 --> 00:41:59,680
Speaker 1: the show because Jerry just commented on our station, or

862
00:41:59,760 --> 00:42:02,080
Speaker 1: may be station one to five dout three. Maybe I

863
00:42:02,160 --> 00:42:05,240
Speaker 1: think Noah Brown makes the team because I go looking

864
00:42:05,480 --> 00:42:08,600
Speaker 1: for information and get informed opinions. First, I kind of

865
00:42:08,680 --> 00:42:10,600
Speaker 1: think the other way. I think Jary just heard Jones

866
00:42:10,600 --> 00:42:13,200
Speaker 1: like that would be awesome. That would be I'm giving

867
00:42:13,200 --> 00:42:14,839
Speaker 1: you a lot of credit here, that would be so cool.

868
00:42:14,920 --> 00:42:17,440
Speaker 1: But Jared just basically said he thinks Noah Brown makes

869
00:42:17,480 --> 00:42:19,399
Speaker 1: the fifty three. He said, yes, he thinks he's gonna

870
00:42:19,400 --> 00:42:21,880
Speaker 1: make the fifty three. So your guy sounds like he's in.

871
00:42:22,080 --> 00:42:23,879
Speaker 1: If that is the case, it would be the first

872
00:42:23,920 --> 00:42:27,760
Speaker 1: time since twenty eleven that they bothered to carry six receivers.

873
00:42:27,920 --> 00:42:30,640
Speaker 1: So make sure what you guys do your fifty three man, Hey,

874
00:42:31,280 --> 00:42:34,000
Speaker 1: pump the brakes, because I mean, i'd have to imagine

875
00:42:34,040 --> 00:42:36,200
Speaker 1: he's a game day and active at least to start

876
00:42:36,239 --> 00:42:38,600
Speaker 1: the season out. But most of the time, I'm just

877
00:42:38,800 --> 00:42:41,120
Speaker 1: really intrigued by his skill set and I think it's

878
00:42:41,120 --> 00:42:42,719
Speaker 1: a smart idea to keep him around because I think

879
00:42:42,719 --> 00:42:45,120
Speaker 1: he's better than Andy Jones. Yes, better than Andy Jones

880
00:42:45,160 --> 00:42:47,680
Speaker 1: was at this time last year. I think he yes,

881
00:42:47,880 --> 00:42:51,920
Speaker 1: because Andy Jones hit a brick wall and disappeared about

882
00:42:51,960 --> 00:42:54,200
Speaker 1: halfway through camp, which no offense to him, but he

883
00:42:54,280 --> 00:42:56,440
Speaker 1: kind of did the same thing again this year. And

884
00:42:56,600 --> 00:42:59,839
Speaker 1: that's it's an interesting juxtaposition because the first two weeks

885
00:43:00,160 --> 00:43:03,719
Speaker 1: camp it was like neck and neck, like highlight catch here,

886
00:43:04,120 --> 00:43:06,719
Speaker 1: Brown here, Andy here, and like it was like, man,

887
00:43:06,760 --> 00:43:08,520
Speaker 1: how are they going to decide between these two guys?

888
00:43:08,600 --> 00:43:11,480
Speaker 1: And then like right around the Rams game, it started

889
00:43:11,520 --> 00:43:14,120
Speaker 1: just being Noah Brown, Noah Brown, Noah Brown. Where's Andy?

890
00:43:14,239 --> 00:43:16,399
Speaker 1: He's hurt? Is he still hurt? Is he back from

891
00:43:16,440 --> 00:43:18,360
Speaker 1: being hurt? He's back, but now he's not making plays.

892
00:43:18,880 --> 00:43:21,600
Speaker 1: And actually I meant to say, you know, I felt

893
00:43:21,640 --> 00:43:24,080
Speaker 1: like we were so wrapped up in the telethon last night,

894
00:43:24,160 --> 00:43:28,400
Speaker 1: and for good cause, but the practice was still pretty enlightening.

895
00:43:28,520 --> 00:43:30,560
Speaker 1: Brian wrote a great notebook about it. It's on our

896
00:43:30,600 --> 00:43:32,720
Speaker 1: site right now, and he was even you know, Andy

897
00:43:32,880 --> 00:43:36,400
Speaker 1: dropped a wide open slant during eleven v eleven yesterday,

898
00:43:36,400 --> 00:43:38,640
Speaker 1: and it's just kinda that's been a problem for him,

899
00:43:38,640 --> 00:43:41,839
Speaker 1: whereas I mean, I think Noah Brown's gotten better as

900
00:43:41,920 --> 00:43:44,320
Speaker 1: camp has gone on, which is impressive for a rookie.

901
00:43:44,880 --> 00:43:48,120
Speaker 1: Lance Lenore there any shot. I mean, obviously he's an

902
00:43:48,120 --> 00:43:51,759
Speaker 1: Ambers guy. Last night he makes another like he's made

903
00:43:51,960 --> 00:43:54,759
Speaker 1: several catches, and I I said this back, you know,

904
00:43:54,760 --> 00:43:57,520
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks of maybe a week ago, that yeah,

905
00:43:57,600 --> 00:44:00,080
Speaker 1: we we pound on him, and rightfully so about the

906
00:44:00,320 --> 00:44:03,239
Speaker 1: you know, not catching punts like he just for some reason,

907
00:44:03,640 --> 00:44:06,320
Speaker 1: she's having problems with that sometimes. But their day. I

908
00:44:06,360 --> 00:44:10,120
Speaker 1: saw him a practice and he literally just stripped over himself, right.

909
00:44:10,680 --> 00:44:13,800
Speaker 1: But at the wide receiver position, when he's running routes

910
00:44:13,840 --> 00:44:17,320
Speaker 1: and catching passes, he's made quite a few plays, and

911
00:44:17,400 --> 00:44:19,479
Speaker 1: I think quite a few plays not only in preseason games,

912
00:44:19,560 --> 00:44:22,040
Speaker 1: but even down to last night. They had a really

913
00:44:22,160 --> 00:44:24,919
Speaker 1: nice play there. I don't know how long the pass,

914
00:44:25,040 --> 00:44:26,840
Speaker 1: it's hard to tell when you're on the field sometimes,

915
00:44:27,280 --> 00:44:29,520
Speaker 1: but it was down the sideline and he caught it

916
00:44:29,600 --> 00:44:31,520
Speaker 1: in the end zone over double coverage. I mean, it

917
00:44:31,600 --> 00:44:34,840
Speaker 1: was a pretty remarkable throw, pretty more remarkable catch. And

918
00:44:34,960 --> 00:44:37,120
Speaker 1: he's done that kind of thing throughout training camp in

919
00:44:37,160 --> 00:44:39,719
Speaker 1: the preseason. Obviously, he's not gonna make this team. But

920
00:44:39,800 --> 00:44:42,040
Speaker 1: I would think he's a guy that you definitely want

921
00:44:42,040 --> 00:44:45,399
Speaker 1: to get onto practice squad. Right, there's awesome little hints

922
00:44:45,480 --> 00:44:47,680
Speaker 1: that you can pick up if you pay attention. And

923
00:44:48,200 --> 00:44:52,760
Speaker 1: last week when they were finishing well, Wow, Tuesday feels

924
00:44:52,760 --> 00:44:54,719
Speaker 1: like it was a week ago, but or maybe it

925
00:44:54,760 --> 00:44:56,600
Speaker 1: was Monday. Either way, when they were practicing in the Star,

926
00:44:57,360 --> 00:44:59,880
Speaker 1: they were doing scout team prep work for the Giants

927
00:45:00,040 --> 00:45:02,520
Speaker 1: sports centers where they're really I'm sorry, you're right, Ford Center,

928
00:45:02,560 --> 00:45:06,960
Speaker 1: excuse me. And they they gave out and they do

929
00:45:07,080 --> 00:45:09,759
Speaker 1: this for opponents. They gave out jerseys with thirteen on him.

930
00:45:09,800 --> 00:45:11,960
Speaker 1: They're simulating Odell Beckham and what he does in the

931
00:45:12,000 --> 00:45:14,680
Speaker 1: Giants offense. They gave one of those jerseys to Lance

932
00:45:14,760 --> 00:45:18,000
Speaker 1: Lenore and that to me signify of all the guys

933
00:45:18,080 --> 00:45:22,279
Speaker 1: they have, he most among non starters. He most represents

934
00:45:22,719 --> 00:45:25,040
Speaker 1: what Beckham can do and his skill set and his

935
00:45:25,160 --> 00:45:27,880
Speaker 1: speed and blah blah blah. And when you factor that

936
00:45:28,000 --> 00:45:30,839
Speaker 1: in with the he's made plays, he can, he can

937
00:45:31,040 --> 00:45:35,360
Speaker 1: return punts, do the imaginary quotes he is capable of

938
00:45:35,560 --> 00:45:38,520
Speaker 1: apparently doing that maybe whatever. He's a versatile guy and

939
00:45:38,640 --> 00:45:41,799
Speaker 1: they like his talent. I think he's a good bet

940
00:45:41,840 --> 00:45:44,279
Speaker 1: to be on the practice squad if they can make him,

941
00:45:44,360 --> 00:45:45,960
Speaker 1: get him there. If they can get him, he can

942
00:45:46,040 --> 00:45:48,880
Speaker 1: which I'm not worried. I'm worried about not worried about it.

943
00:45:48,880 --> 00:45:50,840
Speaker 1: I'm worried about Noah Brown getting to the practice squad.

944
00:45:50,920 --> 00:45:53,359
Speaker 1: I'm not not worried about Lance. All right, all right, good,

945
00:45:53,840 --> 00:45:55,600
Speaker 1: let's get some questions. You guys can call us numbers

946
00:45:55,600 --> 00:45:57,520
Speaker 1: two one four eight seven two twenty one oh two.

947
00:45:57,560 --> 00:46:00,680
Speaker 1: Again it's two one four eight seven two twenty one

948
00:46:00,840 --> 00:46:03,560
Speaker 1: zero two. And we can also get questions on Twitter

949
00:46:03,640 --> 00:46:05,920
Speaker 1: at Cowboys break Amber. What do we have over there?

950
00:46:06,280 --> 00:46:09,040
Speaker 1: And we were talking, well, you guys were talking earlier

951
00:46:09,080 --> 00:46:11,560
Speaker 1: about Louis Neil. Do you guys think that he could

952
00:46:11,640 --> 00:46:15,000
Speaker 1: possibly turn into a younger version of Jack Crawford on

953
00:46:15,120 --> 00:46:19,040
Speaker 1: this defensive line if he makes the roster. Jack Crawford

954
00:46:19,120 --> 00:46:21,840
Speaker 1: is so big, I mean and versatile. Yeah, he's versatile.

955
00:46:21,920 --> 00:46:25,399
Speaker 1: But this guy could be versatile. But he's so much size. Yeah,

956
00:46:25,760 --> 00:46:28,200
Speaker 1: well no, because he doesn't he can't probably play like

957
00:46:28,280 --> 00:46:31,360
Speaker 1: the one technique he can't, you know, I mean, anybody

958
00:46:31,440 --> 00:46:33,560
Speaker 1: that can. This guy could go from one to three

959
00:46:33,680 --> 00:46:36,120
Speaker 1: to the outside. So and he was as big as

960
00:46:36,160 --> 00:46:39,960
Speaker 1: a house. So I don't Jack Crawford is I don't

961
00:46:40,000 --> 00:46:43,279
Speaker 1: think he's a great comparison to Lewis Neil because of

962
00:46:43,960 --> 00:46:46,840
Speaker 1: he can do more things and he can hold up

963
00:46:46,840 --> 00:46:48,520
Speaker 1: a little bit more. We don't really know if Lewis

964
00:46:48,640 --> 00:46:51,640
Speaker 1: Neil can kind of hold up. I don't know who

965
00:46:51,719 --> 00:46:54,040
Speaker 1: I would compare Lewis Neil too, because you don't see

966
00:46:54,120 --> 00:46:56,399
Speaker 1: very mean an NFL d lineman who are as short

967
00:46:56,400 --> 00:46:59,680
Speaker 1: as him, and the ones that are are much bulkier.

968
00:47:00,040 --> 00:47:04,080
Speaker 1: I mean, he's five eleven, two hundred and there have

969
00:47:04,239 --> 00:47:07,680
Speaker 1: been seven have been bigger linebackers in the league than him.

970
00:47:07,760 --> 00:47:11,120
Speaker 1: I mean you walk around, you walk around here, and

971
00:47:11,239 --> 00:47:14,360
Speaker 1: you were around NFL players, and I mean, you know,

972
00:47:14,880 --> 00:47:17,960
Speaker 1: you know, you're like this dude, is he's a football player,

973
00:47:18,080 --> 00:47:20,319
Speaker 1: like and this is I'm not trying to knock Lewis Neil,

974
00:47:20,400 --> 00:47:22,759
Speaker 1: but and if he's playing linebacker, you'd probably say, Okay,

975
00:47:22,800 --> 00:47:25,319
Speaker 1: he's a nice sized linebacker. He's just he's playing defensive line.

976
00:47:25,520 --> 00:47:29,480
Speaker 1: He is not physically awe inspiring the way that you know,

977
00:47:29,600 --> 00:47:33,760
Speaker 1: like a DeMarcus Lawrence or you know who Dez Bryant.

978
00:47:33,840 --> 00:47:36,880
Speaker 1: You're just like, whoa Lewis Neil, You're like, yeah, he

979
00:47:37,000 --> 00:47:40,360
Speaker 1: looks like a fairly normal looking person all things considered.

980
00:47:41,280 --> 00:47:43,880
Speaker 1: So I mean, I think he's got a good bet

981
00:47:43,960 --> 00:47:46,960
Speaker 1: to make the team, but I don't Yeah, I don't know.

982
00:47:47,160 --> 00:47:49,360
Speaker 1: But he's also that guy that that's getting a spot,

983
00:47:49,560 --> 00:47:51,640
Speaker 1: and when these other guys that are on suspension are

984
00:47:51,680 --> 00:47:53,400
Speaker 1: coming back, he's probably going to be one of the

985
00:47:53,440 --> 00:47:56,440
Speaker 1: guys that's on the bubble. I think. Luckily for them,

986
00:47:56,600 --> 00:47:58,759
Speaker 1: I think that plays in their favor because he's a

987
00:47:58,800 --> 00:48:03,200
Speaker 1: guy that I think might clear waivers because again he's

988
00:48:03,360 --> 00:48:05,839
Speaker 1: he's not too too impressive. I mean, his tape's good,

989
00:48:06,160 --> 00:48:09,560
Speaker 1: but I wouldn't be surprised if they could get him

990
00:48:09,600 --> 00:48:12,360
Speaker 1: onto their practice squad. Because you've got two guys that

991
00:48:12,440 --> 00:48:15,959
Speaker 1: are suspended at that position, I think that you only

992
00:48:16,080 --> 00:48:18,759
Speaker 1: really keep eight. I mean, I think whoever makes the

993
00:48:18,840 --> 00:48:21,759
Speaker 1: team will probably be active. I can't imagine going nine

994
00:48:21,920 --> 00:48:25,600
Speaker 1: right now and having one of those guys inactive. So

995
00:48:26,280 --> 00:48:28,320
Speaker 1: you need to keep eight players that are going to

996
00:48:28,400 --> 00:48:32,160
Speaker 1: play for you. So I think that that being said,

997
00:48:32,200 --> 00:48:35,480
Speaker 1: there's probably a better defensive end slash tackle that as

998
00:48:35,560 --> 00:48:39,040
Speaker 1: on the waiver wire than Lewis Neil. I agree with that,

999
00:48:39,160 --> 00:48:41,759
Speaker 1: so there's a chance he might be one of those

1000
00:48:41,800 --> 00:48:44,319
Speaker 1: guys that makes it to the initial cut. But yeah,

1001
00:48:44,560 --> 00:48:46,960
Speaker 1: and if I remember correctly, Jack Crawford was a guy

1002
00:48:47,040 --> 00:48:51,480
Speaker 1: that they may be brought in the day after the cuts. Yeah,

1003
00:48:51,520 --> 00:48:54,080
Speaker 1: they got him from Oakland. I think what was that

1004
00:48:54,160 --> 00:48:57,399
Speaker 1: have been twenty fifteen or fourteen? I think yeah, because

1005
00:48:57,440 --> 00:49:01,680
Speaker 1: he went to London. Yes, yeah, yeah, I think it

1006
00:49:01,760 --> 00:49:03,839
Speaker 1: was right then I could Lewis and I could see

1007
00:49:03,920 --> 00:49:07,400
Speaker 1: a scenario where Lewis Neal makes the fifty three on Saturday,

1008
00:49:07,520 --> 00:49:10,120
Speaker 1: gets cut on Sunday, and is still here on Monday

1009
00:49:10,160 --> 00:49:12,759
Speaker 1: as part of the practice squad. And that happens every

1010
00:49:12,840 --> 00:49:14,880
Speaker 1: year the week That's how this weekend goes, right, he

1011
00:49:15,320 --> 00:49:17,359
Speaker 1: got it would be much better for him if it's

1012
00:49:17,440 --> 00:49:20,560
Speaker 1: Tuesday speaking be on the monster by Tuesday he makes

1013
00:49:20,760 --> 00:49:22,919
Speaker 1: a game check. Yeah, could have a great Wednesday. Point.

1014
00:49:22,960 --> 00:49:24,960
Speaker 1: All right, let's let's take a phone call from Gerald

1015
00:49:25,000 --> 00:49:27,279
Speaker 1: and Baton Rouge? Gerald, what up Aaton Rouge? What up?

1016
00:49:27,960 --> 00:49:30,799
Speaker 1: Hey was going on? How you doing? No? Pretty good?

1017
00:49:31,040 --> 00:49:33,080
Speaker 1: I'm going to first of all say blessing to everybody

1018
00:49:33,160 --> 00:49:36,120
Speaker 1: in South Houston. Hope they can get back together and

1019
00:49:36,200 --> 00:49:39,960
Speaker 1: get get things in order. Thank you. My question is,

1020
00:49:40,640 --> 00:49:43,320
Speaker 1: you know, being that Cooper Rush Dunn a lot, but

1021
00:49:44,080 --> 00:49:46,919
Speaker 1: over the preseason and Kevin he probably done a little

1022
00:49:46,960 --> 00:49:49,800
Speaker 1: more than killing more. Would it be too much to,

1023
00:49:51,000 --> 00:49:53,759
Speaker 1: you know, bring him to the practice squad instead of

1024
00:49:53,800 --> 00:49:56,480
Speaker 1: putting him on a regular fifty three and save that

1025
00:49:56,680 --> 00:49:59,239
Speaker 1: roster spot for something that we really need, like like

1026
00:49:59,360 --> 00:50:03,600
Speaker 1: you said, another defensive vironment or another linebacker. What's another cornerback?

1027
00:50:03,920 --> 00:50:07,200
Speaker 1: And that's my real question. I ain't up and listen

1028
00:50:07,200 --> 00:50:10,120
Speaker 1: to you guys, all right, thanks, just I don't know

1029
00:50:10,239 --> 00:50:13,000
Speaker 1: if he has a full understanding of how that works.

1030
00:50:13,040 --> 00:50:15,360
Speaker 1: And then I think ideally if you could guarantee the

1031
00:50:15,440 --> 00:50:18,359
Speaker 1: Cowboys that Cooper Rush makes it to the practice quad,

1032
00:50:18,520 --> 00:50:20,319
Speaker 1: they would do it. Explain that for other people because

1033
00:50:20,320 --> 00:50:21,880
Speaker 1: I've I've gotten a couple of questions on Twitter that

1034
00:50:21,960 --> 00:50:23,839
Speaker 1: made me think that people don't understand he was talking

1035
00:50:23,840 --> 00:50:25,400
Speaker 1: about he was talking about Cooper Rush. I thought he

1036
00:50:25,400 --> 00:50:26,920
Speaker 1: was talking about Kellen mar I thought he was talking

1037
00:50:26,920 --> 00:50:29,719
Speaker 1: about Cooper. It sounded I thought he meant Callen Mark.

1038
00:50:29,920 --> 00:50:33,160
Speaker 1: But let's talk about we can talk about both scenarios.

1039
00:50:33,280 --> 00:50:35,520
Speaker 1: Talk about it first, kind of what you release a player?

1040
00:50:35,640 --> 00:50:38,239
Speaker 1: You release all of these players thirty seven guys are

1041
00:50:38,280 --> 00:50:42,080
Speaker 1: going to get released or they're going to get removed

1042
00:50:42,120 --> 00:50:43,920
Speaker 1: from the roster one way or another. They either they

1043
00:50:43,960 --> 00:50:47,840
Speaker 1: go to suspension, they go to they injured, reserve, waived, injured,

1044
00:50:48,280 --> 00:50:51,200
Speaker 1: you know what other kind of lists, retirement, who knows,

1045
00:50:51,360 --> 00:50:54,040
Speaker 1: or just outright cut, just cut. Thirty seven guys are

1046
00:50:54,080 --> 00:50:56,200
Speaker 1: going to remove from getting removed from the roster. They're

1047
00:50:56,200 --> 00:50:58,840
Speaker 1: going to clear waivers. They go through the waiver process.

1048
00:50:58,880 --> 00:51:01,000
Speaker 1: It takes twenty four hours. That's why other teams start

1049
00:51:01,040 --> 00:51:04,319
Speaker 1: taking these players. If you don't know, that means it's

1050
00:51:04,400 --> 00:51:07,160
Speaker 1: literally just an order. It's the same draft order. It's

1051
00:51:07,160 --> 00:51:09,200
Speaker 1: the same order as the draft all thirty two teams.

1052
00:51:09,520 --> 00:51:13,000
Speaker 1: If you have not accrued four NFL seasons, you have

1053
00:51:13,120 --> 00:51:14,800
Speaker 1: to go through this waiver and a team can just

1054
00:51:14,920 --> 00:51:17,200
Speaker 1: claim you. So if the Jets want you and they're

1055
00:51:17,239 --> 00:51:19,399
Speaker 1: the first team to put in a claim, that's where

1056
00:51:19,440 --> 00:51:21,120
Speaker 1: you go. You don't have a say in it. You're

1057
00:51:21,160 --> 00:51:23,759
Speaker 1: a Jet. If the Cowboys are the first team to

1058
00:51:23,760 --> 00:51:25,160
Speaker 1: put an acclaim on you all the way back at

1059
00:51:25,200 --> 00:51:27,799
Speaker 1: twenty eight, you're a Cowboy and you don't have any

1060
00:51:27,880 --> 00:51:30,640
Speaker 1: say in it, and that's where you go. Only veterans

1061
00:51:31,080 --> 00:51:34,520
Speaker 1: become pure free agency. So Cooper Rushes, if he gets released,

1062
00:51:34,719 --> 00:51:36,400
Speaker 1: then teams are going to look at it and go,

1063
00:51:36,640 --> 00:51:39,239
Speaker 1: is he better than our quarterback? He's done some good

1064
00:51:39,280 --> 00:51:42,720
Speaker 1: things than our backup, so you know, they could probably

1065
00:51:42,840 --> 00:51:45,200
Speaker 1: sign him to the roster and so he doesn't clear

1066
00:51:45,280 --> 00:51:48,680
Speaker 1: the waivers. Kellen Moore same thing now. He I don't

1067
00:51:48,680 --> 00:51:51,120
Speaker 1: think he's got four crude seasons there. He's been around,

1068
00:51:51,320 --> 00:51:53,839
Speaker 1: still practice squad eligs, still eligible for the practice squad.

1069
00:51:53,880 --> 00:51:55,600
Speaker 1: He'd have to clear through waivers. I think you have

1070
00:51:55,680 --> 00:51:57,839
Speaker 1: a better chance for him to clear waivers. So if

1071
00:51:57,840 --> 00:52:00,560
Speaker 1: you're going to cut one of your quarterbacks and put

1072
00:52:00,640 --> 00:52:02,400
Speaker 1: him on the practice squad, I think Kellen Moore is

1073
00:52:02,400 --> 00:52:06,319
Speaker 1: a better candidate for that because Scott Lenahant has been

1074
00:52:06,360 --> 00:52:09,640
Speaker 1: the biggest cheerleader for him, and I don't know who

1075
00:52:09,680 --> 00:52:11,600
Speaker 1: else has been. You know, he's been on the practice

1076
00:52:11,600 --> 00:52:13,960
Speaker 1: squad for years in Detroit and no one got him,

1077
00:52:13,960 --> 00:52:16,160
Speaker 1: no one poached him. So I don't know if anyone

1078
00:52:16,239 --> 00:52:19,360
Speaker 1: really has any interest. I have to believe at least

1079
00:52:19,600 --> 00:52:22,280
Speaker 1: a handful of teams would put an acclaim on Cooper

1080
00:52:22,360 --> 00:52:24,560
Speaker 1: rush if not, if not half to think about all

1081
00:52:24,560 --> 00:52:26,879
Speaker 1: the teams that are strap for I mean for Kellen Moore,

1082
00:52:26,920 --> 00:52:29,279
Speaker 1: though none I don't think I like that idea. Put

1083
00:52:29,480 --> 00:52:32,960
Speaker 1: him Kellen Moore. Yeah, I think I think I can

1084
00:52:33,000 --> 00:52:34,480
Speaker 1: speak for all four of us that we all like

1085
00:52:34,640 --> 00:52:37,040
Speaker 1: that idea and can help. You can still help Dak,

1086
00:52:37,120 --> 00:52:39,120
Speaker 1: You can help any of these young guys here on

1087
00:52:39,280 --> 00:52:40,719
Speaker 1: game day and do the things you need to do

1088
00:52:41,680 --> 00:52:44,080
Speaker 1: run scout team. So let me bring that around, because

1089
00:52:44,080 --> 00:52:46,520
Speaker 1: it's the thing I always say is I'm not trying

1090
00:52:46,600 --> 00:52:48,440
Speaker 1: to tell you what I would do. I'm trying to

1091
00:52:48,480 --> 00:52:51,279
Speaker 1: tell you what I think they're going to do. I

1092
00:52:51,440 --> 00:52:53,880
Speaker 1: would still at this point, whether you agree with it

1093
00:52:54,000 --> 00:52:56,840
Speaker 1: or not, be fairly surprised if Kellen Moore's cut. I

1094
00:52:56,920 --> 00:52:58,640
Speaker 1: agree with you. I think they're going to roll with

1095
00:52:58,800 --> 00:53:03,839
Speaker 1: three whatever, whatever reasoning, whatever you want to say, however

1096
00:53:03,960 --> 00:53:05,799
Speaker 1: much it might aggravate you, That's what I think they're

1097
00:53:05,800 --> 00:53:09,200
Speaker 1: gonna do. And if they don't, and maybe this whole

1098
00:53:09,280 --> 00:53:11,239
Speaker 1: thing with Zeke where we it looks like he's gonna

1099
00:53:11,239 --> 00:53:13,280
Speaker 1: be on the fifty three, maybe that kind of forces

1100
00:53:13,360 --> 00:53:16,600
Speaker 1: their hand. If they don't keep Kellen Moore, I think

1101
00:53:16,640 --> 00:53:21,080
Speaker 1: it's because they had a long, hard conversation about it

1102
00:53:21,160 --> 00:53:24,840
Speaker 1: today and tomorrow. Like I that'll be the last spot

1103
00:53:25,320 --> 00:53:27,200
Speaker 1: that they make a move if they decide to. I

1104
00:53:27,640 --> 00:53:30,160
Speaker 1: really think that it would. It would be a tough

1105
00:53:30,239 --> 00:53:32,400
Speaker 1: conversation for them to just know this. When we do this,

1106
00:53:32,600 --> 00:53:34,839
Speaker 1: the thing in the studio with Brian's gonna be up

1107
00:53:34,840 --> 00:53:36,400
Speaker 1: at the board and we're gonna be talking about it.

1108
00:53:36,680 --> 00:53:39,279
Speaker 1: Kellen Moore is gonna get that little dot whatever that

1109
00:53:39,400 --> 00:53:42,120
Speaker 1: they're gonna push, and he will make the team. But

1110
00:53:42,440 --> 00:53:46,800
Speaker 1: that's only because you know, that's just because of what

1111
00:53:46,960 --> 00:53:48,919
Speaker 1: we think is going to happen. I know I'll fight

1112
00:53:48,960 --> 00:53:50,640
Speaker 1: as long as we have time for it that he

1113
00:53:50,719 --> 00:53:54,720
Speaker 1: shouldn't be He should not be on this roster, should

1114
00:53:54,719 --> 00:53:57,160
Speaker 1: be And that's gonna be a big distinction. Are you

1115
00:53:57,239 --> 00:53:59,840
Speaker 1: guys doing this based upon what you think they're gonna do,

1116
00:54:00,120 --> 00:54:01,839
Speaker 1: or are you doing this basis on this is your

1117
00:54:01,920 --> 00:54:03,800
Speaker 1: fifty three man roster. I think we have to do

1118
00:54:03,880 --> 00:54:05,560
Speaker 1: it based on what we think they're going to do,

1119
00:54:05,960 --> 00:54:09,440
Speaker 1: because that's I mean, it would have different you know,

1120
00:54:09,640 --> 00:54:11,919
Speaker 1: who care? Who cares about what I think they're gonna

1121
00:54:11,960 --> 00:54:13,800
Speaker 1: bring or what I think they should do, because I

1122
00:54:13,840 --> 00:54:17,360
Speaker 1: don't make that call right but I would be he

1123
00:54:17,480 --> 00:54:19,800
Speaker 1: would kill him. Moore would be a surprise cut for me,

1124
00:54:19,960 --> 00:54:22,719
Speaker 1: even though I personally would cut him if it were

1125
00:54:22,840 --> 00:54:24,960
Speaker 1: up to me. I don't think they will all right.

1126
00:54:25,000 --> 00:54:28,880
Speaker 1: Let's second of the question from Twitter, any timetable for

1127
00:54:29,440 --> 00:54:33,720
Speaker 1: Cheeto and Jordan Lewis returns. What are your y'alls estimate?

1128
00:54:34,200 --> 00:54:37,240
Speaker 1: Asked to where when we will be seeing them playing

1129
00:54:38,080 --> 00:54:41,319
Speaker 1: another thing lost in the shuffle. They did practice last night.

1130
00:54:41,440 --> 00:54:43,640
Speaker 1: They had a full I mean it was padded and everything.

1131
00:54:43,680 --> 00:54:46,959
Speaker 1: It wasn't Did they practice fully well? I meant the team,

1132
00:54:47,120 --> 00:54:51,839
Speaker 1: but oh, Cheto Bay and Xavier Woods both and Ryan

1133
00:54:51,880 --> 00:54:55,160
Speaker 1: Switzer for that matter, all did real deal practice, which

1134
00:54:55,239 --> 00:54:57,920
Speaker 1: is a great sign for them. Jordan Lewis suited up

1135
00:54:58,000 --> 00:55:00,279
Speaker 1: and did a few things, but he's still not doing

1136
00:55:00,360 --> 00:55:03,000
Speaker 1: the competitive He didn't do one on ones, he didn't

1137
00:55:03,000 --> 00:55:07,480
Speaker 1: do full team, so he I mean, I gotta consider

1138
00:55:07,640 --> 00:55:10,719
Speaker 1: him a week one inactive. I would see. I would

1139
00:55:10,760 --> 00:55:15,239
Speaker 1: consider him to be inactive until somebody gets hurt or

1140
00:55:15,400 --> 00:55:17,920
Speaker 1: somebody's forced into Yeah. I just don't see unless he's

1141
00:55:17,960 --> 00:55:20,080
Speaker 1: gonna go on in prag when he finally does return

1142
00:55:20,160 --> 00:55:22,279
Speaker 1: to practice, I don't think him's just gonna be lighting

1143
00:55:22,320 --> 00:55:24,480
Speaker 1: it up where he's just gonna all of a sudden

1144
00:55:24,680 --> 00:55:28,960
Speaker 1: be you know, active over the guys that have been

1145
00:55:29,040 --> 00:55:31,359
Speaker 1: on the fifty three or on the forty six. Can

1146
00:55:31,440 --> 00:55:33,279
Speaker 1: he can a guy like him that's a rookie work

1147
00:55:33,360 --> 00:55:37,120
Speaker 1: his way on to special teams once you get to

1148
00:55:37,280 --> 00:55:39,720
Speaker 1: that point, like let's assume that he's not really healthy

1149
00:55:39,800 --> 00:55:42,080
Speaker 1: to do a lot until to do all of that

1150
00:55:42,239 --> 00:55:45,400
Speaker 1: until next week. Let's say if he's just able to

1151
00:55:45,480 --> 00:55:47,640
Speaker 1: do it at that point, kind of already know what

1152
00:55:47,719 --> 00:55:49,960
Speaker 1: they want on special teams. I don't think he can

1153
00:55:50,040 --> 00:55:52,440
Speaker 1: show the coaches yet what he can do on special teams.

1154
00:55:52,480 --> 00:55:54,520
Speaker 1: So is it tough for him to be it because

1155
00:55:54,560 --> 00:55:55,960
Speaker 1: that's the way that he could get active, is if

1156
00:55:56,000 --> 00:55:57,520
Speaker 1: he can play special teams. But I don't know if

1157
00:55:57,520 --> 00:55:59,640
Speaker 1: he has the time to show them then at this

1158
00:55:59,719 --> 00:56:02,880
Speaker 1: point of the season. You're right, I mean, now, as

1159
00:56:02,960 --> 00:56:05,000
Speaker 1: a cornerback, you can be one of those guys that

1160
00:56:05,120 --> 00:56:09,680
Speaker 1: that that you know, blocks the gunner. But I think

1161
00:56:09,719 --> 00:56:12,600
Speaker 1: that he's gonna need and they happen, that happens. Injuries

1162
00:56:12,719 --> 00:56:15,759
Speaker 1: will definitely happen here at cornerback, and so he'll get

1163
00:56:15,800 --> 00:56:18,880
Speaker 1: an opportunity. It's just that I don't I don't necessarily

1164
00:56:18,960 --> 00:56:21,120
Speaker 1: see him just whenever he's healthy, he's ready to go

1165
00:56:21,200 --> 00:56:23,520
Speaker 1: because he hasn't proven special teams wise, and that he

1166
00:56:23,600 --> 00:56:27,040
Speaker 1: can play this league. Get yeah, well sorry, well but

1167
00:56:27,160 --> 00:56:30,160
Speaker 1: it is a really I mean the other three Woods, Cheeto,

1168
00:56:30,280 --> 00:56:32,600
Speaker 1: and Switzer. I think it's a fantastic sign that they're

1169
00:56:32,640 --> 00:56:36,040
Speaker 1: practicing a full ten days before the opener, which they'll

1170
00:56:36,080 --> 00:56:37,880
Speaker 1: have every I don't know if you can get him

1171
00:56:37,920 --> 00:56:40,239
Speaker 1: on the forty six, but they'll have every opportunity to

1172
00:56:40,520 --> 00:56:44,320
Speaker 1: at least show something before and for Cheeto and Xavier,

1173
00:56:44,440 --> 00:56:46,440
Speaker 1: both of them they practice for right good amount of

1174
00:56:46,520 --> 00:56:48,760
Speaker 1: training and that works in their favorite They're not starting

1175
00:56:48,840 --> 00:56:51,760
Speaker 1: from scratch like Jordan is. I can't see Woods making

1176
00:56:52,000 --> 00:56:56,080
Speaker 1: the forty six man roster the active game day active.

1177
00:56:56,160 --> 00:56:58,480
Speaker 1: I could see him being inactive for the first game.

1178
00:56:59,160 --> 00:57:02,080
Speaker 1: But Jock me Cheto, I think could you know, he

1179
00:57:02,480 --> 00:57:05,160
Speaker 1: gives you a little bit more. It's good for all

1180
00:57:05,200 --> 00:57:08,279
Speaker 1: three of them that they're able to work with this

1181
00:57:08,480 --> 00:57:10,560
Speaker 1: much time until the game. All right, that's a rap, guys.

1182
00:57:10,600 --> 00:57:13,759
Speaker 1: We uh, we got the talking Cowboys guys out there
