00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:48,200
Speaker 1: welcomes in their episode. Welcome to another episode of The Break.

8
00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:52,199
Speaker 1: We are back here in Oxnard, California. How are you

9
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:56,920
Speaker 1: guys doing great? I'm awesome. I'm so good. All right, guys,

10
00:00:57,040 --> 00:00:59,480
Speaker 1: buckling your suit bell because you're in for a great

11
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:02,880
Speaker 1: ride of it here. Okay, Cowboys had their first preseason

12
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:05,720
Speaker 1: game and it was against the forty nine ers. Um,

13
00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:09,679
Speaker 1: you know, these types of scores don't matter. It was

14
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:13,320
Speaker 1: seventeen nine, forty nine years one. But that doesn't stop

15
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:16,760
Speaker 1: fans to start criticizing and start talking like, man, this

16
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:20,640
Speaker 1: season's gonna stop fire. Jason Garrett, he's still here. He's

17
00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:24,040
Speaker 1: gonna be here this whole season. So state ball cool? Okay,

18
00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:26,880
Speaker 1: all right, let's do it. Damn yeah, I don't know.

19
00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:29,440
Speaker 1: I mean, somebody's gonna get fired. It might not be

20
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:31,760
Speaker 1: Jason Garrett in the middle of the season. I mean,

21
00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:36,759
Speaker 1: could happened, that's true, but hey, NFL is a crazy beast. Ah,

22
00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:40,760
Speaker 1: that is true. But in the meantime, he's here and

23
00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:44,040
Speaker 1: he's expected to be here. There you go, all right, Okay,

24
00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:47,160
Speaker 1: so let's go around the table and tell me your

25
00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:53,840
Speaker 1: stand out from the game. Nick, get it started. I've

26
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:56,240
Speaker 1: been the guy that I picked that I've been talking

27
00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:59,040
Speaker 1: about forever. Had a sack in the game. Jalen jokes,

28
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:00,520
Speaker 1: not that I saw it, because I think I was

29
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:04,520
Speaker 1: getting something like a snack or something. But I didn't.

30
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:06,200
Speaker 1: I didn't hear about it that he got a sack.

31
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:10,200
Speaker 1: That that would be. That would be kind of easy,

32
00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:12,200
Speaker 1: because I mean, he's just a rookie playing well. Let

33
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:16,560
Speaker 1: let me let me say, I thought Cheeto played well.

34
00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:19,240
Speaker 1: I like the what Cheeto did as a starting cornerback.

35
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:21,720
Speaker 1: He was really aggressive on the ball, knocking the ball

36
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:24,200
Speaker 1: down a little bit. Um. I thought, you know, we

37
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:26,079
Speaker 1: hadn't talked a lot about him, which is probably a

38
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:31,320
Speaker 1: good thing as a corner So Cheetah would be my guy. Dave, Okay,

39
00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:33,160
Speaker 1: I didn't know which order you want to do that?

40
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:36,079
Speaker 1: Can I just okay? Whatever I could talk about Cheeto

41
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 1: played great. I thought Jalen Smith looked awesome. I thought

42
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:41,960
Speaker 1: Dak looked really good. For you know, the four plays

43
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:44,280
Speaker 1: that we got to see. I don't really care about

44
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:47,160
Speaker 1: any of that. Can I just say it stood out

45
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:50,600
Speaker 1: to me how scared I am of the kicker situation

46
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:53,280
Speaker 1: for this team. Like that's if I have one takeaway

47
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:55,880
Speaker 1: from the game. That's really what I'm dealing with right now.

48
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:59,280
Speaker 1: Because we saw it all last year. We've seen it

49
00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:01,680
Speaker 1: out here train camp, and it carried right on over

50
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:05,040
Speaker 1: into the preseason game. Brett maher three or four three

51
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:09,120
Speaker 1: makes that's awesome. Thirty five yard miss, that's terrifying. So

52
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:11,480
Speaker 1: and we can get more into it. Like I said,

53
00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:13,040
Speaker 1: I thought, I thought the first team looked awesome. I

54
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:15,760
Speaker 1: thought the third team was awful. Everybody knows that if

55
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:18,799
Speaker 1: you watched. But man, I just don't know. I don't

56
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:20,600
Speaker 1: know what they're gonna do about this kicker thing. It's

57
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:22,960
Speaker 1: kind of scary. Yeah, there are quite a few guys

58
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:24,799
Speaker 1: I think. I assume we're going to get into that

59
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:26,720
Speaker 1: a little bit more and talk and talking depth about

60
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:29,119
Speaker 1: the kicker position. But there were quite a few guys

61
00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:31,720
Speaker 1: I thought that stood out and it started to me

62
00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:35,000
Speaker 1: with Tony Pollard just from a standpoint. Again, he didn't

63
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:37,080
Speaker 1: get a lot of carries. But what I loved about

64
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:39,600
Speaker 1: what they did with him is he had four carries,

65
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:42,160
Speaker 1: he had sixteen yards, and all of those carries were

66
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:44,240
Speaker 1: between the tackles, and so we got an opportunity to

67
00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:46,440
Speaker 1: kind of see him working in that kind of capacity.

68
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:49,640
Speaker 1: I don't think that was a I don't think that

69
00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:52,680
Speaker 1: was for any other purpose. And for the Cowboys to

70
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:54,920
Speaker 1: kind of put it out there that, you know, we

71
00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:57,440
Speaker 1: might be all right if our twenty one doesn't show up,

72
00:03:57,440 --> 00:03:59,680
Speaker 1: we might still do you talk to Jerry Jones after

73
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:01,680
Speaker 1: the game? Is that why he is? That why he

74
00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:04,720
Speaker 1: said Tony Pollard is capable of cart on the whole load. No,

75
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:07,080
Speaker 1: I mean like the whole thing, like this whole thing.

76
00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:10,120
Speaker 1: From the beginning, it's been very clear that Jerry's out

77
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:12,800
Speaker 1: there talking about the running back position, and it's talked

78
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:15,480
Speaker 1: about him and when he when they brought in Alfred Morris,

79
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:17,120
Speaker 1: they talked a lot about all. You know, we've been

80
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:18,680
Speaker 1: won him like we were upset that we didn't get

81
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:21,560
Speaker 1: him last year. We think he's very capable, right, I

82
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:23,920
Speaker 1: think all of that is playing into this whole thing.

83
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:27,039
Speaker 1: But what I will say just on that point, though,

84
00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:32,320
Speaker 1: is I do believe that they at least publicly think

85
00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:35,159
Speaker 1: that if they had to enter the season, they might

86
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:39,279
Speaker 1: be okay at running back with Pollard and the mashing

87
00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:41,560
Speaker 1: together of those other guys. And I will say this,

88
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:44,880
Speaker 1: I'm not necessarily I don't necessarily think that that would

89
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:47,080
Speaker 1: be a bad premise to take. Now, whether you can

90
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:50,320
Speaker 1: stand up sixteen games, who knows, but I think for

91
00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:52,600
Speaker 1: whatever period of games that you would want him in

92
00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:55,400
Speaker 1: there before you know, three, four or five games, I

93
00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:56,719
Speaker 1: think he might be able to be a guy that

94
00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:59,200
Speaker 1: could be pretty effective running in a lot of different

95
00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:01,200
Speaker 1: ways between the tip goes to the outside, catching the

96
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:02,640
Speaker 1: ball out of the backfield. I think he might be

97
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:04,320
Speaker 1: able to do a little bit of all that. Might

98
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:05,960
Speaker 1: be a little bit worried about blitz pick up, but

99
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:07,400
Speaker 1: other than that, I think he might be able to

100
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:10,760
Speaker 1: handle the rest of those roles were about. Now that

101
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:14,640
Speaker 1: it was a long sentence. Um No, I think whether

102
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:17,960
Speaker 1: or not they're they're okay about it or not doesn't matter.

103
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:19,800
Speaker 1: I mean, because it is what it is. I mean,

104
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:21,839
Speaker 1: who who they gonna go get and the only guy

105
00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:23,760
Speaker 1: that they could really go get at this point. They

106
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:27,480
Speaker 1: they got him. Yeah, they got Alfred Morris, So they

107
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:30,360
Speaker 1: are they've already kind of done that. I mean, they

108
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:32,080
Speaker 1: might be scared to death about it, but they're not

109
00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:34,479
Speaker 1: gonna say it because if they say it, then obviously

110
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:36,920
Speaker 1: that just drives up the leverage for Zeke. So I mean,

111
00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:39,160
Speaker 1: but I I mean, yeah, it was good to see

112
00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:41,359
Speaker 1: Paula do all that stuff and run in between the

113
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:44,480
Speaker 1: tackles and that. But I mean, I don't think this

114
00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:46,400
Speaker 1: is a situation where they're like, you know what, we

115
00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:49,040
Speaker 1: might be okay, this team has been built to run

116
00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:51,520
Speaker 1: the ball with Zeke like that, So I don't know.

117
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:54,279
Speaker 1: It just reminds me of somebody who's going through a

118
00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:57,440
Speaker 1: bad breakup on like Instagram and they're just real open

119
00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:01,760
Speaker 1: about it and just I'm doing great, I'm amazing, I'm

120
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:04,880
Speaker 1: at the beach, i'm the gym, I'm looking my friend.

121
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:07,520
Speaker 1: I don't need you. Yeah, like that's what the Cowboys

122
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:09,080
Speaker 1: are doing. And I don't buy it, just like I

123
00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:10,640
Speaker 1: don't buy it when my friends do that. I'm like,

124
00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:13,640
Speaker 1: you're miserable. I Like, if you're posting on Instagram six

125
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:15,720
Speaker 1: times a day, you're miserable. I'm sorry, That's just how

126
00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:17,960
Speaker 1: it is, and that's how I feel like the Cowboys are.

127
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:21,640
Speaker 1: You know, I'm excited about Tony Pollard, don't get me wrong,

128
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:24,520
Speaker 1: but like not to the point where I'm forgetting about

129
00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:28,120
Speaker 1: twenty one. I'm not there yet. Yeah, and nor should anyone,

130
00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:31,080
Speaker 1: including the Cowboys. I'm not saying that at all. I'm

131
00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:34,560
Speaker 1: saying I feel like they probably are looking at this like, Okay,

132
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:36,800
Speaker 1: if he if he wants to keep holding out, we

133
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:38,760
Speaker 1: still know what our budget is. I don't think I

134
00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:41,160
Speaker 1: don't think they feel like they're pressed to have to

135
00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:43,840
Speaker 1: do something different than what they've already planned to do

136
00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:46,400
Speaker 1: financially with him. And if he wants to show up

137
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:48,920
Speaker 1: and play with that kind of deal, then he will.

138
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:51,359
Speaker 1: And if he doesn't, I think they're gonna hold a

139
00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:53,200
Speaker 1: line and be like, Okay, well we're gonna roll what

140
00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:56,880
Speaker 1: we got. Yeah, now, based on I mean, you talked

141
00:06:56,960 --> 00:06:59,880
Speaker 1: about the first team. Clearly they had they got into

142
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:02,479
Speaker 1: the red zone, and this is again the preseason and

143
00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:05,279
Speaker 1: all that, But did it bother you or did it

144
00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:08,440
Speaker 1: concern you any way that they weren't able to get

145
00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:14,200
Speaker 1: into the touchdown area and score six points. You know,

146
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:16,280
Speaker 1: I wrote a whole column about that, I don't think,

147
00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:18,320
Speaker 1: so it doesn't bother me yet. I'm not at the

148
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:23,120
Speaker 1: point to worry about red zone or really anything like that,

149
00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:27,240
Speaker 1: because yeah, everything's vanilla. We know that. Defenses of vanilla too,

150
00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:29,200
Speaker 1: I mean, and they're not trying to show a bunch

151
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:31,800
Speaker 1: of plays down there like that. And then also what

152
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:34,840
Speaker 1: they're built to run the ball and really push the pile,

153
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:36,600
Speaker 1: and they don't have that. They're running back in there

154
00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:38,720
Speaker 1: to do that. The one thing you can really look

155
00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:41,880
Speaker 1: at and go, this is something that will happen in

156
00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:45,200
Speaker 1: the game. Is snapping the ball, holding it and kicking

157
00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:48,040
Speaker 1: like that is something that like Maha is going to

158
00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:52,120
Speaker 1: be doing that same thing, same play call in games.

159
00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:54,760
Speaker 1: And so if you want to be concerned about that,

160
00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:57,840
Speaker 1: you can because that's not preseason to him, that's a

161
00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:01,960
Speaker 1: game and he's kicking. There's nothing yeah preseason about it. Yeah,

162
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:05,680
Speaker 1: you know, I understand. I understand if fans have concerned

163
00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:09,040
Speaker 1: just because red zone was arguably this team's biggest problem

164
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:11,680
Speaker 1: all last year. You want to see it look better, Yeah,

165
00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:14,200
Speaker 1: and you know how many they got in there? Four times?

166
00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:15,880
Speaker 1: I mean, and then yeah, all the field goals were

167
00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:19,560
Speaker 1: short range, and I understand it, but like, no, I'm

168
00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:22,160
Speaker 1: not bothered either because it's it's not only preseason, but

169
00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:24,200
Speaker 1: it's the first game of the preseason. Like, you're not

170
00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:26,880
Speaker 1: You're not handling that as if as you would if

171
00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:29,240
Speaker 1: it were the season. They didn't game plan for that opponent.

172
00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:33,079
Speaker 1: Kellen Moore wasn't calling anything that he wants to use

173
00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:35,800
Speaker 1: during the regular season, so it would have been fun

174
00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:38,199
Speaker 1: if they'd scored a touchdown. I'd way rather see Brett

175
00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:40,679
Speaker 1: maher kick for that exact reason. He missed one from

176
00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:43,840
Speaker 1: thirty five. I hope he kicks four in all four games. Yeah,

177
00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:47,080
Speaker 1: preferably more. I hope he kicks like twenty times in

178
00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:51,280
Speaker 1: the preseason, just from all angles and yardage and distance

179
00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:53,880
Speaker 1: and everything, just to get a very clear idea of

180
00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:57,320
Speaker 1: what we're looking at now. Jerry was asked about the

181
00:08:57,400 --> 00:08:59,679
Speaker 1: kicker position and I know you were in on that.

182
00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:04,199
Speaker 1: What was his response to the whole situation, and he like,

183
00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:05,959
Speaker 1: I that was my lead off to the show, is

184
00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:08,000
Speaker 1: how concerned I was. Jerry Jones was like, that's the

185
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:10,280
Speaker 1: only way we scored. I feel great about the kicker position.

186
00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:14,160
Speaker 1: He's like, I don't have a different than I did before, right, Yeah, yeah,

187
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:16,600
Speaker 1: I would. I was kind of standing there. I was like,

188
00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:19,400
Speaker 1: it doesn't it doesn't bother you that he missed an

189
00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:21,679
Speaker 1: extra point. I think everybody's kind of like you were

190
00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:24,320
Speaker 1: expecting something, you expecting him takes something different, like, well,

191
00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:26,199
Speaker 1: we would have wished it he would. He was just

192
00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:28,800
Speaker 1: kind of like the one. I was okay with it,

193
00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:31,440
Speaker 1: that it was good and to this point, I'm not

194
00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:33,920
Speaker 1: trying to freak anybody out, but I like that's kind

195
00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:37,120
Speaker 1: of the organization. That's their whole attitude, Like they don't

196
00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:39,880
Speaker 1: seem as concerned about MAHA as everybody else does, which

197
00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:43,440
Speaker 1: you know now that for what it's worth. I was

198
00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:46,720
Speaker 1: by someone that works over on the football side and

199
00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:49,280
Speaker 1: I heard that person make a comment and was like,

200
00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:53,320
Speaker 1: damn kicker just in general, not only this one, but

201
00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:57,360
Speaker 1: in general around the guys that are out there in

202
00:09:57,400 --> 00:10:01,000
Speaker 1: the market right now. And that made me feel like, Okay, well,

203
00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:04,640
Speaker 1: maybe Maher is their best option that they do have

204
00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:06,960
Speaker 1: right now, and that's why they're sticking to it, you

205
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:10,640
Speaker 1: know how well, I know you've made it sound like, Okay,

206
00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:14,280
Speaker 1: they got all this kickers chartered and this is the

207
00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:19,920
Speaker 1: next one. And it's not that far different. But that guy,

208
00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:22,480
Speaker 1: that guy that's on the list, I don't know what

209
00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:24,840
Speaker 1: their names are, yeah, but I guarantee it's I mean,

210
00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:27,280
Speaker 1: all of them they had their moment where they missed

211
00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:29,760
Speaker 1: a thirty one yarder or a twenty eight yard or

212
00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:33,440
Speaker 1: or something that got them out there. I mean, I

213
00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:36,120
Speaker 1: know that's Mickey's favorite line, as they're on the street

214
00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:39,480
Speaker 1: for a reason, but they are. But the thing about

215
00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:42,599
Speaker 1: it is, too is with kickers, it's all about confidence.

216
00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:45,640
Speaker 1: You know. It's like they have the confidence. I mean,

217
00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:48,240
Speaker 1: Nick Folk was a pretty good kicker for a lot

218
00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:50,160
Speaker 1: of years in this league, and the Cowboys had to

219
00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:51,719
Speaker 1: cut him in two thousand and nine because he just

220
00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:53,719
Speaker 1: couldn't make kicks right there. He went on and had

221
00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:56,839
Speaker 1: a career for I don't know, eight nine more years,

222
00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:59,160
Speaker 1: but right then and there, he just couldn't make kicks.

223
00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:02,000
Speaker 1: And I'm not saying my HER's at that point, but

224
00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:04,320
Speaker 1: I mean, if they have to go get someone else,

225
00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:07,319
Speaker 1: it'll be someone else that maybe that has more confidence.

226
00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:10,000
Speaker 1: But it's gonna be shaky all the way. I mean

227
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:12,240
Speaker 1: it is. This game was no different than it was

228
00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:14,520
Speaker 1: last year. He was three or four seventy five percent.

229
00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:17,880
Speaker 1: He kicked at eighty percent last year he missed. The

230
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:21,280
Speaker 1: largest percentage of his missus came forty to forty nine yards.

231
00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:24,760
Speaker 1: The next largest percentage came at thirty to thirty nine yards.

232
00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:27,600
Speaker 1: So that's who he is, that's what he's been. I

233
00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:30,080
Speaker 1: don't know that that's necessarily gonna change, and that may

234
00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:33,199
Speaker 1: be what Jarry's point Moore was was like, look, guys,

235
00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:35,400
Speaker 1: this is what we got, Like, this is what we have,

236
00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:38,160
Speaker 1: and we don't think there's anybody better on the street.

237
00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:39,959
Speaker 1: You kind of have to just know that this is

238
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:41,480
Speaker 1: what you're dealing with a little bit. You got an

239
00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:43,880
Speaker 1: eighty percent kicker, which means he's gonna make a lot,

240
00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:45,680
Speaker 1: but he's gonna miss some and some of them ones

241
00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:48,040
Speaker 1: he miss missus probably have you scratched your head a

242
00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:54,240
Speaker 1: little bit. Now, let's get into two injuries that are concerning,

243
00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:57,240
Speaker 1: because these two guys were guys that were performing wells

244
00:11:57,440 --> 00:12:01,080
Speaker 1: and they were having a good game. One very unfortunate

245
00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:04,280
Speaker 1: one is lud Geffer, who's a guy we've talked about

246
00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:07,640
Speaker 1: on this show for sure. What is the update on

247
00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:13,240
Speaker 1: his injury and what is expected to happen here? Um

248
00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:16,520
Speaker 1: I know he had an MRI yesterday. That not here.

249
00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:20,240
Speaker 1: I haven't heard. It's a high he's got a high

250
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:23,360
Speaker 1: ankle sprain. Um, that pretty bad one. The fear was

251
00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:25,840
Speaker 1: a dislocation, you know, right off the bat, and I

252
00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:27,839
Speaker 1: was down on the field. I just remember looking at

253
00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:30,520
Speaker 1: all of the doctors and trainers that kind of ran there,

254
00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:33,640
Speaker 1: thought thinking, Okay, this this looks pretty bad. And it

255
00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:36,360
Speaker 1: is actually you know what I mean high even it's

256
00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:38,800
Speaker 1: a high ankle sprain. Those are those are tough. I mean,

257
00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:41,640
Speaker 1: those are those are gonna be four to six weeks,

258
00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:45,760
Speaker 1: if not more. Um, So we'll see about that. Um.

259
00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:48,320
Speaker 1: He's gonna be here though, I mean he's he's on

260
00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:50,960
Speaker 1: the team or he's on the team or on injury

261
00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:54,280
Speaker 1: reserve or something. I think he's done enough to be

262
00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:57,240
Speaker 1: like this somebody we can work with here. He made

263
00:12:57,240 --> 00:12:59,720
Speaker 1: a play or interception before the nature of the injury

264
00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:02,320
Speaker 1: ray is an interesting question though, because he's not done

265
00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:05,280
Speaker 1: for the year, but he won't be taking part in

266
00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:07,800
Speaker 1: the rest of training camp. So what do you do

267
00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:10,200
Speaker 1: with him? Do you put him on injured reserve right now,

268
00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:12,360
Speaker 1: which ends his season, Like if you put a guy

269
00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:14,960
Speaker 1: on injured reserve during camp. He is, It's Cedric Wilson

270
00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:17,040
Speaker 1: all over again. He's done for the year, can't come back.

271
00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:19,640
Speaker 1: You could wait until August thirty first, which is what

272
00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:22,280
Speaker 1: I think they'll probably do, is put him on injured reserve.

273
00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:26,280
Speaker 1: At roster cuts, he would have an opportunity to bring

274
00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:28,640
Speaker 1: him back. You can designate two players to return from

275
00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:31,520
Speaker 1: my rs. So he would start the season on injured

276
00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:34,000
Speaker 1: reserve and you maybe see him in October. You know,

277
00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:36,120
Speaker 1: the question that I have is, and this is what

278
00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:38,600
Speaker 1: they're gonna have to figure out, is when he gets

279
00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:40,840
Speaker 1: to August thirty first, is you know, where is he

280
00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:43,000
Speaker 1: Where is he on them with his rehab? Is it

281
00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:46,040
Speaker 1: coming along pretty good? Is it just a few more weeks?

282
00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:47,520
Speaker 1: And then also you got to look at the roster

283
00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:49,280
Speaker 1: and go, all right, how is this game going to

284
00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:51,480
Speaker 1: work for the Giants game? You know, say we put

285
00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:53,600
Speaker 1: him on injured reserve and we go and now we

286
00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:56,480
Speaker 1: have to keep this linebacker here like a Covington who's

287
00:13:56,480 --> 00:13:59,319
Speaker 1: going to be inactive. You know, if that's if that's

288
00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:01,640
Speaker 1: going to be the case for a few weeks, you know,

289
00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:04,800
Speaker 1: maybe he's not on injured reserve. Well, if he's the

290
00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:09,440
Speaker 1: inactive linebacker one inactive right, Yeah, that's true. It's it's

291
00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:13,240
Speaker 1: tricky too. But you know, guys like you know, like

292
00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:16,280
Speaker 1: a Tyrant Smith, like he's not gonna be that big

293
00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:19,320
Speaker 1: of a part of most of these preseason games. It's

294
00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:21,840
Speaker 1: not a big deal to carry a guy like him

295
00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:23,680
Speaker 1: on the roster, But what do you do with a

296
00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:25,840
Speaker 1: down the line guy like You need guys like Luke

297
00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:30,040
Speaker 1: Gifford to play meaningful snaps in preseason games, So do

298
00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:33,080
Speaker 1: you need that spot? Right? Yeah, it's it says a

299
00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:35,200
Speaker 1: lot about how much they like him if they just

300
00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:38,320
Speaker 1: carry their seventh linebacker on the roster hurt for the

301
00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:40,400
Speaker 1: rest of training camp, you know. And I think that's

302
00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:42,200
Speaker 1: probably what they'll do because they don't want to risk

303
00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:44,880
Speaker 1: losing him on waivers, and they probably don't want to

304
00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:47,880
Speaker 1: shut a season down either. So that's pretty impressive that

305
00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:51,840
Speaker 1: an undrafted free agent could theoretically go two and a

306
00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:54,760
Speaker 1: half weeks on the roster without well, you take advantage

307
00:14:54,760 --> 00:14:56,880
Speaker 1: of these days here at training camp. I mean, he

308
00:14:56,960 --> 00:15:00,640
Speaker 1: did enough to have eyes on him. Sure. Now, another

309
00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:04,600
Speaker 1: guy was Cedric Wilson, who I mean he got any

310
00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:08,800
Speaker 1: illegal hit by safety from the forty nine ers, and

311
00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:12,240
Speaker 1: it was pretty tough. He was having a pretty good

312
00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:13,920
Speaker 1: game too. He was a guy that was that was

313
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:17,520
Speaker 1: making some plays, which wasn't completely surprising because he's had

314
00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:20,160
Speaker 1: some of those moments out here. But he was probably

315
00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:21,920
Speaker 1: I would guess, you guys, tell what you think. I

316
00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:25,200
Speaker 1: would guess he's probably the best receiver on the day,

317
00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:27,400
Speaker 1: on the game. If you had to say who play

318
00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:29,800
Speaker 1: kind of gave you the most plays, I would say

319
00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:32,640
Speaker 1: it was probably him. Would you guys agree? Back end? Guys, Yeah,

320
00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:35,000
Speaker 1: I mean I thought Gallup was awesome in the opening drive.

321
00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:37,920
Speaker 1: But yes, it's a good catch. It that Wilson made

322
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:39,760
Speaker 1: over the middle and it was a little bit behind him,

323
00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:41,600
Speaker 1: and you know it makes it a good play. I

324
00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:43,600
Speaker 1: didn't love it, and you guys, I think all were

325
00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:45,800
Speaker 1: up there disagreed. I didn't love the ejection there. I

326
00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:47,680
Speaker 1: didn't think that was a play that needs to be

327
00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:51,040
Speaker 1: ejected from the game. But um, I thought it was

328
00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:54,680
Speaker 1: pretty dirty. He launched him, yeah, like he like that.

329
00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:57,560
Speaker 1: He lined him up and then went to get him.

330
00:15:57,680 --> 00:16:00,240
Speaker 1: That play didn't hit him in the head, though, Yeah,

331
00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:02,320
Speaker 1: that's beside the point. The guy was. I mean, defenseless

332
00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:04,840
Speaker 1: receiver is not necessarily about the head. You know, I

333
00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:07,240
Speaker 1: guess I just hate the defenseless receiver thing when you

334
00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:09,040
Speaker 1: when you're running a slam over the middle. I mean,

335
00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:10,800
Speaker 1: I don't just don't know how you're gonna be defenseless.

336
00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:14,320
Speaker 1: You know it's coming, Well, you're defenseless because you're you're

337
00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:16,680
Speaker 1: looking back at the ball. And so what they what

338
00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:18,240
Speaker 1: they're trying to take out of the game, and what

339
00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:20,240
Speaker 1: I think what they've tried, what they actually have taken

340
00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:22,760
Speaker 1: out of the game is you cannot a guy that's

341
00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:24,600
Speaker 1: looking back at the ball. It's the same thing as

342
00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:28,000
Speaker 1: on kickcosts or whatever guy's looking somewhere else. They don't

343
00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:31,040
Speaker 1: want guys getting lined up to basically take the guy

344
00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:33,600
Speaker 1: out when he's not paying attention what's happening in front

345
00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:35,920
Speaker 1: of That's what Jason Garrett was talking about the other day,

346
00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:38,160
Speaker 1: a kind of you know, a walk off. And I

347
00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:40,320
Speaker 1: don't think this was his words exactly, but he was

348
00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:43,000
Speaker 1: just basically saying that if you're not looking like and

349
00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:45,080
Speaker 1: then you get hit, like, are we gonna are we

350
00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:47,080
Speaker 1: gonna help you out for being a dumbass? I mean,

351
00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:48,960
Speaker 1: I don't think he said it just like that, but

352
00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:51,800
Speaker 1: it's just like you're gonna be paying attention. Yeah, no,

353
00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:54,000
Speaker 1: and it's but that's the thing. It's not paying attention

354
00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:57,200
Speaker 1: as much as it is. The ball's coming, so you're

355
00:16:57,240 --> 00:16:59,640
Speaker 1: kind of looking. You're looking, definitely looking at the ball,

356
00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:02,320
Speaker 1: so you can't look at two things at one time.

357
00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:04,840
Speaker 1: And again this is this was you know, we all

358
00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:07,240
Speaker 1: grew up in a in a with an NFL where

359
00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:09,800
Speaker 1: that meant that you were looking back at the ball.

360
00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:12,200
Speaker 1: And so a defensive back new, I get a free

361
00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:14,320
Speaker 1: shot on this guy. They're taking it. They're taking that

362
00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:15,440
Speaker 1: out of the game. It's just not gonna be a

363
00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:17,280
Speaker 1: part of the game anymore. Good safety play is one

364
00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:20,040
Speaker 1: of my favorite things in football, Like Edward Brian Dawkins,

365
00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:23,000
Speaker 1: like those you know, Troy Paul Malu, love those guys. Yeah,

366
00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:26,439
Speaker 1: but there's a different Like you can put a big

367
00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:28,400
Speaker 1: hit on a guy going over the middle without like

368
00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:31,960
Speaker 1: launching yourself at him like a projectile and like actively

369
00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:34,119
Speaker 1: trying to murder him, which is what I thought that

370
00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:36,800
Speaker 1: what happened on that play. So I think you can

371
00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:38,440
Speaker 1: make a hit on a guy I like. I hate

372
00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:41,200
Speaker 1: if it's just a good, nice hit and you get

373
00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:43,280
Speaker 1: flagged for it. I hate that. But I thought that

374
00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:45,639
Speaker 1: was a dirty hit. So now, what's the update on

375
00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:50,639
Speaker 1: the injury. Last time he's in concussion. Um, so we'll see.

376
00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:53,000
Speaker 1: I mean, they're probably not going to rush him, especially

377
00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:55,640
Speaker 1: not during training camp. They can't rush him. So yeah,

378
00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:57,840
Speaker 1: something to keep an eye him to Hawaii before Yeah,

379
00:17:58,840 --> 00:18:02,200
Speaker 1: probably because he probably all right, Well, let's take our

380
00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:04,639
Speaker 1: first break. When we come back, we'll keep talking about

381
00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:07,639
Speaker 1: this first preseason game. And you know, we got a

382
00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:10,040
Speaker 1: taste from Travis Frederick and we'll get into how he

383
00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:13,480
Speaker 1: did during that game. If you're like me and you love,

384
00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:17,320
Speaker 1: I mean, if you have a thing, then cutting the

385
00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:19,080
Speaker 1: chord is scary. But then I found out I could

00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:45,879
Speaker 1: out on the field that you really find out what

416
00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:49,000
Speaker 1: he's made of. That's why the Cowboys rely on more

417
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:52,280
Speaker 1: than just stats and scouting reports when building their team.

418
00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:55,439
Speaker 1: When picking the tractor, it's why you should rely on

419
00:19:55,560 --> 00:19:58,120
Speaker 1: more than just specs and features. You've got to take

420
00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:01,000
Speaker 1: it out and put it to the test. The Cowboys

421
00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:04,920
Speaker 1: did when they named John Deer their official tractor experience

422
00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:08,240
Speaker 1: one for yourself. Visit my John dear Dealer dot com

Speaker 1: slash Football Back to the Break Welcome back. All right,

424
00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:18,040
Speaker 1: so let's just dive right into it. Jobs Frederick with

425
00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:21,440
Speaker 1: it see him as center during with the first theme,

426
00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:24,600
Speaker 1: Did you guys get a chance to look at him

427
00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:27,840
Speaker 1: and evaluate and get a little taste of where he's

428
00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:32,400
Speaker 1: at at this point? I didn't really notice a lot

429
00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:36,000
Speaker 1: from him. I didn't. Again, that's center as one of

430
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:38,680
Speaker 1: those positions where that's okay. I think there was one

431
00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:41,280
Speaker 1: play right off the bat that he kind of he

432
00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:44,080
Speaker 1: seemed like a guy got upfield on him. But for

433
00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:46,359
Speaker 1: the most part, I did okay. He got into the

434
00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:49,040
Speaker 1: game and they marched down field and he was okay

435
00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:52,640
Speaker 1: and he felt fine afterward. Nine plays against live competition

436
00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:54,960
Speaker 1: on the next one, and I knew he would be

437
00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:57,720
Speaker 1: out there too. I thought, sure he would. Are you

438
00:20:57,840 --> 00:20:59,960
Speaker 1: asking some questions after game? And I was standing there

439
00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:02,480
Speaker 1: when you did the interview. Just talk a little bit

440
00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:04,480
Speaker 1: about what he was talking about, like, you know, sometimes

441
00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:06,840
Speaker 1: you kind of I guess the questioning was more geared

442
00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:10,120
Speaker 1: to having to get back in the flow and what's

443
00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:11,520
Speaker 1: it like to have to give But what what's the

444
00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:13,240
Speaker 1: hardest part of that? Talk about what he was saying

445
00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:16,040
Speaker 1: to you. I was asking him, you know, what is

446
00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:18,440
Speaker 1: the process like after a year away from the game

447
00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:22,040
Speaker 1: to where this just kind of feels like muscle memory,

448
00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:24,800
Speaker 1: to where you just sort of know it, like in

449
00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:27,680
Speaker 1: your bones and you're not thinking about it. And he

450
00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:30,120
Speaker 1: was just talking, you know, it's it's a gradual process,

451
00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:31,800
Speaker 1: which you know, he made the good point that made

452
00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:33,480
Speaker 1: me feel kind of silly. He was like, that's that's

453
00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:35,840
Speaker 1: anybody like, obviously it's something that I've got to do

454
00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:38,200
Speaker 1: coming back from a year away from the game. But

455
00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:40,879
Speaker 1: you know, you have to kind of reteach yourself that

456
00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:43,359
Speaker 1: just taking a regular off season off when you haven't

457
00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:45,840
Speaker 1: you know, you take nine months off every offseason. Even

458
00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:49,119
Speaker 1: OTAs aren't a good substitute for that. So he was

459
00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:51,960
Speaker 1: taking me through just kind of the mental aspect of like, Okay,

460
00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:54,119
Speaker 1: I need to be moving this way, I need to

461
00:21:54,119 --> 00:21:55,959
Speaker 1: be in this gap when there's two guys over here.

462
00:21:56,000 --> 00:22:00,880
Speaker 1: And honestly, like talking to Travis Frederick about football will

463
00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:03,560
Speaker 1: humble you real quick because you're just like, oh my god,

464
00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:06,800
Speaker 1: this guy knows stuff that I couldn't ever hope the

465
00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:09,520
Speaker 1: process and then he has to know it and execute

466
00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:11,880
Speaker 1: it in about a quarter of a second. And that

467
00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:14,280
Speaker 1: was the interesting part to me, is it sounded like

468
00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:17,119
Speaker 1: what he was saying was the speed of having to remember,

469
00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:20,240
Speaker 1: recall and execute was the part that takes a little

470
00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:22,960
Speaker 1: time to get used to, like literally making his calls,

471
00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:26,200
Speaker 1: the speed of being able to realize what his call

472
00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:29,159
Speaker 1: needs to be and making the call, the speed of realizing, oh,

473
00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:30,920
Speaker 1: I need to be in this gap and getting there,

474
00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:33,680
Speaker 1: Like that's the part that he's having to reacclimate himself to.

475
00:22:34,119 --> 00:22:37,080
Speaker 1: It's not knowing it is the recall and the execution

476
00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:40,199
Speaker 1: in shorter time. Travis Frederick knows more about what he's

477
00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:42,280
Speaker 1: supposed to be doing than anybody but that, but it

478
00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:44,320
Speaker 1: also tells you how fast that stuff happens. That he's

479
00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:46,560
Speaker 1: having to adapt to getting faster at that right, you

480
00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:48,920
Speaker 1: have to turn it from knowing what you're supposed to

481
00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:51,960
Speaker 1: be doing flawlessly doing it in a very short amount

482
00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:53,880
Speaker 1: of time. It's not a physical thing. From what he's saying,

483
00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:56,000
Speaker 1: It felt like more of a mental thing for him

484
00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:57,840
Speaker 1: that he's having to adjust to it. So he definitely

485
00:22:57,840 --> 00:23:01,080
Speaker 1: needs two more games, don't you think. I mean a

486
00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:03,600
Speaker 1: couple more series in the second game. I think maybe

487
00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:06,240
Speaker 1: the first half of the third game, assuming assuming good

488
00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:08,520
Speaker 1: health for everybody, knock on woo. You remember last year

489
00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:11,879
Speaker 1: the preseason got totally derailed because Zach got hurt. You

490
00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:14,200
Speaker 1: want to be careful with Tyrn and all of a sudden,

491
00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:16,800
Speaker 1: nobody's playing in the dress rehearsal because it's not worth

492
00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:20,080
Speaker 1: it to get your quarterback killed. But assuming good health,

493
00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:22,440
Speaker 1: I think they'll just go on a straight line, like,

494
00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:25,800
Speaker 1: you know, play the first quarter on Saturday in Honolulu,

495
00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:29,080
Speaker 1: and then play after halftime when you get back, and

496
00:23:29,119 --> 00:23:32,000
Speaker 1: then said everybody for the fourth one, although broad Us

497
00:23:32,080 --> 00:23:34,200
Speaker 1: made the good point like do you consider doing the

498
00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:37,919
Speaker 1: dress rehearsal now because of travel schedules and all that

499
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:40,320
Speaker 1: good stuff, Like they're gonna take this week in Hawaii.

500
00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:43,280
Speaker 1: The practice, they're gonna take two days off after they

501
00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:47,000
Speaker 1: get home from Honolulu. That'll give them three days to

502
00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:50,760
Speaker 1: kind of practice and get their stuff in order for whoever,

503
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:55,639
Speaker 1: who is the is it Tampa, the third is Houston.

504
00:23:56,280 --> 00:23:58,359
Speaker 1: So Brian was trying to make the point that you

505
00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:01,240
Speaker 1: don't have a super long to really get ready for

506
00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:03,320
Speaker 1: this third game, so maybe it's better to just knock

507
00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:06,040
Speaker 1: the dress rehearsal out now. But I don't think en

508
00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:07,760
Speaker 1: if I'm buying, yeah, I don't think they would do that.

509
00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:09,520
Speaker 1: Maybe maybe it's not a bad idea, but I don't

510
00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:11,360
Speaker 1: know that they would do that. I think you see

511
00:24:11,359 --> 00:24:13,639
Speaker 1: the starters for the first quarter on Saturday and a

512
00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:18,359
Speaker 1: little bit after halftime on when they play Houston. Right. So, now,

513
00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:21,359
Speaker 1: an area that we said we were gonna be looking

514
00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:25,920
Speaker 1: at during this game was the defensive line and Taco

515
00:24:26,040 --> 00:24:29,160
Speaker 1: Charlton how he was performing some of those defensive ends.

516
00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:33,840
Speaker 1: Did you notice something that motivates you from Taco during

517
00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:38,480
Speaker 1: that game? Ahead? No, I thought Taco played, Okay, I

518
00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:42,000
Speaker 1: thought is comments after the game were even better because

519
00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:46,160
Speaker 1: the thing about honestly, I think he was like exercising

520
00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:49,320
Speaker 1: a lot of just whatever at that moment, like a

521
00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:50,960
Speaker 1: lot of stuff just yeah, a lot of stuff probably

522
00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:52,760
Speaker 1: just came out that he's probably been thinking that he

523
00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:55,199
Speaker 1: hadn't really had a chance to voice. Basically, what he

524
00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:57,879
Speaker 1: was saying was, look, I've I've given up trying to

525
00:24:57,920 --> 00:25:01,159
Speaker 1: get people's approval U at this point. The way I

526
00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:03,439
Speaker 1: feel about it is, you know, I just gotta do

527
00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:05,639
Speaker 1: what I'm supposed to do. My guys got my back.

528
00:25:05,840 --> 00:25:09,560
Speaker 1: I'm gonna keep trying hard and hopefully everything works out

529
00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:12,360
Speaker 1: to the you know, the best that it can possibly be.

530
00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:15,520
Speaker 1: But um, I don't know. I thought it was refreshing

531
00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:17,720
Speaker 1: to hear him talk like that, and I'm about the

532
00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:19,760
Speaker 1: part where he was talking about how his agent sets

533
00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:21,879
Speaker 1: the tone. Yeah, well, you know, to me, that was

534
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:23,480
Speaker 1: to me, that was just kind of him pointing to

535
00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:26,040
Speaker 1: at some point, I'm gonna be a free agent, and

536
00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:28,520
Speaker 1: if I do the things I'm supposed to do, then

537
00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:30,800
Speaker 1: I'll still be in control and I'll have the last

538
00:25:30,840 --> 00:25:32,639
Speaker 1: laugh at all of this is the way I took it.

539
00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:35,280
Speaker 1: I mean, you tell me what you I didn't. I honestly,

540
00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:37,679
Speaker 1: I didn't really understand it. I was like, is he talking,

541
00:25:38,119 --> 00:25:41,440
Speaker 1: He's saying like his agent's gonna help him get a trade,

542
00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:43,399
Speaker 1: or like his agent's gonna help him. He's gonna be

543
00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:46,160
Speaker 1: up here in what another year to years too? H well,

544
00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:48,800
Speaker 1: two seasons if you count this one. So I mean,

545
00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:50,439
Speaker 1: I mean they don't pick up his option. Yeah, So

546
00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:52,879
Speaker 1: I mean I just think he's probably like, look, I

547
00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:56,720
Speaker 1: can't I can't control what people think of me. I

548
00:25:56,840 --> 00:25:58,399
Speaker 1: ultimately can just go out and do what I can

549
00:25:58,440 --> 00:26:00,440
Speaker 1: do on the field. We'll see what happens. The line

550
00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:03,320
Speaker 1: he said, if when I play when I when I

551
00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:05,720
Speaker 1: play good, people think it's bad. When I play bad,

552
00:26:05,760 --> 00:26:08,320
Speaker 1: people think it's terrible. Ye, like, which is probably true

553
00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:10,240
Speaker 1: right now, and that it's part of that is his

554
00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:12,720
Speaker 1: own doing, because he hasn't been great up until this,

555
00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:15,159
Speaker 1: you know, hold on, give the fans and everybody a

556
00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:18,920
Speaker 1: little bit more credit when when he does good and

557
00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:22,640
Speaker 1: people people don't think that's bad. Like, so I would

558
00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:25,399
Speaker 1: say this, expectations for good. I will say this. I

559
00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:27,159
Speaker 1: think I hear what he means is like when he

560
00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:29,199
Speaker 1: does good. Like you know, he got a sack the

561
00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:30,760
Speaker 1: other day and I was taking video of it and

562
00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:34,080
Speaker 1: somebody behind me yelled finally, right, like that's the point,

563
00:26:34,119 --> 00:26:36,200
Speaker 1: not that it's bad. But like even when he does well,

564
00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:40,800
Speaker 1: it's like thanks, well, thanks for something. Yeah, it's like

565
00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:43,000
Speaker 1: it's just I don't know. And I think even out here,

566
00:26:43,160 --> 00:26:45,520
Speaker 1: and that's a good example, but I think just throughout

567
00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:47,680
Speaker 1: his play out here, like he never been some days

568
00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:50,040
Speaker 1: he's been pretty good, and I think most people buying

569
00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:52,879
Speaker 1: large is kind of like, uh okay, yeah, okay, And

570
00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:55,320
Speaker 1: I just he's not gonna get the benefit of the

571
00:26:55,320 --> 00:26:57,600
Speaker 1: doubt as the point, so he's gonna have to play really,

572
00:26:57,640 --> 00:26:59,520
Speaker 1: really well because he's not gonna get the benefit. Now,

573
00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:01,840
Speaker 1: it's a first world problem, but I feel, you know,

574
00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:03,560
Speaker 1: I feel for him because the only way to win,

575
00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:06,639
Speaker 1: the only way to win in that situation is to

576
00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:08,560
Speaker 1: play well like that, that's the only way you can

577
00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:12,280
Speaker 1: play really well. Yeah, that's just good. Great. I hope

578
00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:14,080
Speaker 1: it's true that he let that stuff go, because like

579
00:27:14,119 --> 00:27:16,159
Speaker 1: if you follow, if you're on social media and stuff like,

580
00:27:16,160 --> 00:27:18,000
Speaker 1: you can tell that stuff has gotten to him in

581
00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:20,840
Speaker 1: the past. That's got to be rough for any player.

582
00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:23,160
Speaker 1: So I hope, I hope he's right that he's put

583
00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:25,399
Speaker 1: that behind. You know, that's probably the first time a

584
00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:27,080
Speaker 1: lot of these guys have to deal with that because

585
00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:29,879
Speaker 1: in college. In college, you don't get that same level.

586
00:27:29,920 --> 00:27:32,960
Speaker 1: Even at schools like yours where fans are very much involved,

587
00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:35,960
Speaker 1: you don't get that same level level Texas. But I

588
00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:37,840
Speaker 1: was I know because you know, because you're you're one

589
00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:40,560
Speaker 1: of those fans for LSU. But I mean my point

590
00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:42,480
Speaker 1: is that it's like you don't get that level of

591
00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:46,080
Speaker 1: vitriol in college, Like that's not that's not what you get.

592
00:27:46,119 --> 00:27:47,880
Speaker 1: It's not until you get to the NFL where people

593
00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:50,680
Speaker 1: that are fans of your team will be like you

594
00:27:51,080 --> 00:27:54,040
Speaker 1: sung usually like if you're good enough to be a

595
00:27:54,040 --> 00:27:56,640
Speaker 1: first round pick, you were a baller at your college,

596
00:27:56,680 --> 00:27:58,800
Speaker 1: so you know people aren't hating on you. Yeah, and

597
00:27:58,840 --> 00:28:00,600
Speaker 1: you can have a bad game in college and people

598
00:28:00,600 --> 00:28:02,480
Speaker 1: are like sor right. You know, It's funny when you

599
00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:04,440
Speaker 1: go into the locker room after the game and things

600
00:28:04,440 --> 00:28:07,680
Speaker 1: have changed over the years, but every single one of

601
00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:11,040
Speaker 1: those guys when you walk in is looking at their phone.

602
00:28:11,600 --> 00:28:13,480
Speaker 1: And I'm sure I'm sure they got a lot of

603
00:28:13,520 --> 00:28:17,320
Speaker 1: text messages too, but they're probably looking at Twitter and

604
00:28:17,359 --> 00:28:19,840
Speaker 1: looking at their mentions and seeing who's talking about him.

605
00:28:20,119 --> 00:28:22,920
Speaker 1: I get notifications for half the players on the team,

606
00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:25,720
Speaker 1: Like they started popping off before the media is even

607
00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:28,520
Speaker 1: allowed in. It's like the first thing they do. Some

608
00:28:28,560 --> 00:28:30,479
Speaker 1: of them, not everybody, but yeah, it's one of them

609
00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:33,760
Speaker 1: that here anymore. True. Yeah, he's notorious for it's on

610
00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:35,919
Speaker 1: the bus, just going crazy with his things. A lot

611
00:28:36,040 --> 00:28:42,240
Speaker 1: less exciting with his wife. Get in there a little bit.

612
00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:46,680
Speaker 1: She'll get in there and defend his man um. So

613
00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:50,000
Speaker 1: who would be someone else from the D line that

614
00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:54,280
Speaker 1: you notice that's twoed out yesterday? I'll put off Carrie Hyder.

615
00:28:54,960 --> 00:28:57,440
Speaker 1: He played Oh my god, he murdered that guy, but

616
00:28:57,640 --> 00:29:01,000
Speaker 1: he played pretty well. I mean, I don't think any

617
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:03,640
Speaker 1: of us disagree. I think he's gonna be on this team,

618
00:29:04,320 --> 00:29:05,960
Speaker 1: just a matter of what role he is gonna play.

619
00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:09,120
Speaker 1: I mean, I think he's played well out here during practices,

620
00:29:09,440 --> 00:29:11,200
Speaker 1: and I think he was good in the game. I

621
00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:14,800
Speaker 1: think the Quinn suspension just kind of solidified his spot

622
00:29:14,840 --> 00:29:17,440
Speaker 1: to be here, you know, at least at least for that,

623
00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:20,560
Speaker 1: you know, for a couple of weeks. Um and and

624
00:29:20,640 --> 00:29:23,280
Speaker 1: those other guys. I mean, I don't know if both

625
00:29:23,440 --> 00:29:26,680
Speaker 1: Joe Jackson and Jalen Jokes can make this team. No,

626
00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:29,440
Speaker 1: I don't see where right now because is gonna make it.

627
00:29:29,480 --> 00:29:34,160
Speaker 1: Where are you going. I think Jolkes had the sack,

628
00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:35,760
Speaker 1: but I think if you had, if you had to

629
00:29:35,760 --> 00:29:37,400
Speaker 1: pick right now, I think it would be Joe Jackson.

630
00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:40,440
Speaker 1: I think he's been better all around. For he's he's

631
00:29:40,440 --> 00:29:43,200
Speaker 1: one of those dirty work guys like he can, he

632
00:29:43,320 --> 00:29:46,360
Speaker 1: can play the run, he's he's good in pursuit. You

633
00:29:46,360 --> 00:29:48,360
Speaker 1: know he hasn't he hasn't been as great of a

634
00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:51,680
Speaker 1: pass rusher as others, but wide rounded guy. You might

635
00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:53,880
Speaker 1: have to keep them both. I really think you might

636
00:29:53,960 --> 00:29:55,960
Speaker 1: have to and then figure something out when you get

637
00:29:56,000 --> 00:29:59,240
Speaker 1: to the when Quinn comes back. How many d Lineman

638
00:29:59,320 --> 00:30:03,760
Speaker 1: you're keeping twenty let's look at it. I think eleven

639
00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:08,760
Speaker 1: is like eleven is as men As is the absolute max.

640
00:30:09,520 --> 00:30:16,880
Speaker 1: And got Woods, Crawford Malik, I'm not gonna go Tacco yet.

641
00:30:17,120 --> 00:30:23,760
Speaker 1: Um D L D Law. That's four Armstrong, Tristan Hill, Robert,

642
00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:27,400
Speaker 1: he doesn't count. Get Robert Quinn right now? Okay? Um

643
00:30:27,560 --> 00:30:30,800
Speaker 1: Hyder yep? Where are we at? Seven? Did you get

644
00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:35,400
Speaker 1: Christian Covington Covington? Okay? Eight? Did you get in? You

645
00:30:35,400 --> 00:30:39,560
Speaker 1: got Antoine Woods? Yeah? Taco Taco on there? And did

646
00:30:39,560 --> 00:30:41,719
Speaker 1: you say Hyder no? Yeah, he did it? Hider so

647
00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:44,680
Speaker 1: here here it is. I got nine guys, and I've

648
00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:48,600
Speaker 1: got three three players for two spots. If we go

649
00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:51,120
Speaker 1: with eleven, and those three players I think right now

650
00:30:51,160 --> 00:30:54,600
Speaker 1: would be Joe Jackson, Daniel Wise, Jalen Jones. I'm glad

651
00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:56,400
Speaker 1: you mentioned why is because that's who I was gonna

652
00:30:56,440 --> 00:30:59,280
Speaker 1: bring up next, which I don't want to just completely

653
00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:02,080
Speaker 1: rip off Brian's notebook. You should go read it on

654
00:31:02,120 --> 00:31:05,960
Speaker 1: the website if you haven't. But um, he was raving

655
00:31:05,960 --> 00:31:08,440
Speaker 1: about Daniel Wise and Ricky Walker too for that matter.

656
00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:11,720
Speaker 1: Who walk Ricky Walker is? You know, no offense to him.

657
00:31:11,760 --> 00:31:14,440
Speaker 1: He is probably like the most forgotten man at this camp,

658
00:31:14,520 --> 00:31:16,960
Speaker 1: Like he's he's the last in line on the most

659
00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:20,680
Speaker 1: loaded position. But he made a good accounting of himself

660
00:31:20,680 --> 00:31:24,520
Speaker 1: in the game. But Wise, to me is really interesting

661
00:31:24,520 --> 00:31:26,840
Speaker 1: because it seems like he's got some juice as a

662
00:31:26,880 --> 00:31:29,200
Speaker 1: three technique. They've put him on the edge a little

663
00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:31,920
Speaker 1: bit out here, so he's got that position flex we

664
00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:34,360
Speaker 1: love to talk so much about. I thought he played

665
00:31:34,360 --> 00:31:37,280
Speaker 1: well somebody something yeah, something, but something. You know, I

666
00:31:37,360 --> 00:31:39,720
Speaker 1: got three more games something You're probably gonna happen to

667
00:31:39,760 --> 00:31:43,120
Speaker 1: shake it out. I mean we I mean it couldn't

668
00:31:43,120 --> 00:31:45,080
Speaker 1: have played out any more perfectly than it did with

669
00:31:45,120 --> 00:31:49,480
Speaker 1: the receivers like John Vay all day and then he

670
00:31:49,680 --> 00:31:51,800
Speaker 1: had a terrible game like it and you know it

671
00:31:51,840 --> 00:31:53,680
Speaker 1: was lancelin Or all over again. He had two drops,

672
00:31:53,720 --> 00:31:57,959
Speaker 1: he did rebound, he had some nice catches. But you know,

673
00:31:58,200 --> 00:32:00,480
Speaker 1: we go into the game like, man, how they're gonna

674
00:32:00,560 --> 00:32:03,520
Speaker 1: there's so many amazing receivers and you come out of

675
00:32:03,520 --> 00:32:05,240
Speaker 1: the game and you're like, just get the only guy

676
00:32:05,280 --> 00:32:07,720
Speaker 1: that played well? Is it can cussed? Like that's that's

677
00:32:08,600 --> 00:32:10,840
Speaker 1: that's where Yeah, that's where we're at right now. Yeah,

678
00:32:10,960 --> 00:32:13,000
Speaker 1: we say all this stuff, and they're gonna claim a

679
00:32:13,040 --> 00:32:15,720
Speaker 1: guy that gets cut and they'll have him a fifth,

680
00:32:15,920 --> 00:32:18,280
Speaker 1: sixth receiver. That's also the thing, like you start getting

681
00:32:18,320 --> 00:32:20,680
Speaker 1: to those other guys, and like we talked about earlier,

682
00:32:20,760 --> 00:32:22,680
Speaker 1: like every team has one or two of those guys

683
00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:24,320
Speaker 1: in their camp that they're like, I don't know how

684
00:32:24,640 --> 00:32:26,600
Speaker 1: they gotta keep this guy. You don't want to expose him.

685
00:32:26,640 --> 00:32:29,360
Speaker 1: And everybody's got one of those young guys that's kind

686
00:32:29,360 --> 00:32:31,360
Speaker 1: of flashing a little bit. I will say, though, I

687
00:32:31,440 --> 00:32:34,760
Speaker 1: do wonder like every year there's a receiver and everybody's

688
00:32:34,760 --> 00:32:37,000
Speaker 1: always concerned that he won't make it to the practice squad,

689
00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:40,160
Speaker 1: and he does. But if you, if you, if you're

690
00:32:40,160 --> 00:32:43,320
Speaker 1: flashing something as a pass rusher, I do think that's different.

691
00:32:43,400 --> 00:32:45,520
Speaker 1: I agree with you don't want to expose, right, it's

692
00:32:45,560 --> 00:32:47,120
Speaker 1: the receivers that I'm talking about that And when I

693
00:32:47,120 --> 00:32:49,400
Speaker 1: say every team has one of them at the receiver position,

694
00:32:49,480 --> 00:32:51,160
Speaker 1: I think every team has one or two guys at

695
00:32:51,200 --> 00:32:54,080
Speaker 1: camp that's like flashing. Every single team has a receiver

696
00:32:54,160 --> 00:32:56,400
Speaker 1: and a running back that they're like, I don't know

697
00:32:56,400 --> 00:33:00,360
Speaker 1: how you get into. Yeah, but if Daniel Wise or

698
00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:02,960
Speaker 1: Ricky Walker or Joe Jackson or Jalen Jokes, Like, if

699
00:33:02,960 --> 00:33:05,560
Speaker 1: those guys keep this up and you really feel that

700
00:33:05,640 --> 00:33:07,520
Speaker 1: type of way about him, it's not worth the risk

701
00:33:07,560 --> 00:33:10,080
Speaker 1: to expose them to the waiver wire. Now, let's go

702
00:33:10,080 --> 00:33:13,160
Speaker 1: ahead and tap into the whole safety position, which is

703
00:33:13,160 --> 00:33:16,920
Speaker 1: a position we on this show are known to talk

704
00:33:16,960 --> 00:33:20,640
Speaker 1: about for several years now. With the guys that Chris

705
00:33:20,760 --> 00:33:24,880
Speaker 1: Rushard has been training and coaching. Who would be a

706
00:33:24,920 --> 00:33:27,440
Speaker 1: guy that kind of stood out to you in that

707
00:33:27,640 --> 00:33:34,800
Speaker 1: regard safety? Yeah, safety Donovan Wilson with the pick obvious one. Yeah,

708
00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:41,720
Speaker 1: aside from him, anybody else you know, who's twenty three Thompson,

709
00:33:43,160 --> 00:33:45,440
Speaker 1: Darian Thompson and C. J. Goodwin. You know those guys

710
00:33:45,480 --> 00:33:49,920
Speaker 1: are interesting just because you know that their special teams plays.

711
00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:52,959
Speaker 1: What's what's keeping them kind of around or keeping them

712
00:33:52,960 --> 00:33:55,280
Speaker 1: on the forefront. I guess could that affect the Galla

713
00:33:55,360 --> 00:33:58,480
Speaker 1: Cavon Frasier, I think so. I you don't really know.

714
00:33:59,720 --> 00:34:02,000
Speaker 1: A couple plays there in a in a row. He

715
00:34:02,120 --> 00:34:03,760
Speaker 1: kind of got trucked a little bit and one of

716
00:34:03,800 --> 00:34:06,320
Speaker 1: them was a touchdown. Um, And I don't know if

717
00:34:06,680 --> 00:34:09,399
Speaker 1: Loca too. I mean, I wouldn't know if you had

718
00:34:09,480 --> 00:34:11,680
Speaker 1: if you had to pick it right now, though, you

719
00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:15,160
Speaker 1: gotta have a backup safety. Yeah, that's with some experience.

720
00:34:15,920 --> 00:34:18,879
Speaker 1: Do you want Frasier? I think if if a kid's

721
00:34:18,920 --> 00:34:21,480
Speaker 1: special teams got too, If Cavan makes this team and

722
00:34:21,560 --> 00:34:24,520
Speaker 1: I want him to, it will be because he's a

723
00:34:24,560 --> 00:34:27,759
Speaker 1: special teams ace core guy. Like, I don't think you're

724
00:34:27,840 --> 00:34:30,239
Speaker 1: keeping him with the expectation that he's gonna do a

725
00:34:30,280 --> 00:34:32,759
Speaker 1: lot at safety for you. He's been declining and it's

726
00:34:32,800 --> 00:34:36,719
Speaker 1: like to me, he has started fading away a little bit.

727
00:34:37,760 --> 00:34:40,840
Speaker 1: He he's not doing much as he used to. And

728
00:34:40,920 --> 00:34:44,040
Speaker 1: then again he I guess last year he was hurt

729
00:34:44,120 --> 00:34:46,960
Speaker 1: right like here and there. He was always with a

730
00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:51,000
Speaker 1: little something. And earlier this camp didn't he have. Yeah,

731
00:34:51,040 --> 00:34:53,520
Speaker 1: he came in. He had a knee procedure in the

732
00:34:53,560 --> 00:34:55,480
Speaker 1: spring that he was coming off of. But I mean

733
00:34:55,520 --> 00:34:57,759
Speaker 1: he's he's out there, he's practicing. He yes, he is,

734
00:34:57,840 --> 00:35:00,600
Speaker 1: but it's just I don't know it. No, you don't

735
00:35:00,640 --> 00:35:02,840
Speaker 1: notice him as much. Well, he's at that point in

736
00:35:02,840 --> 00:35:05,319
Speaker 1: his career in my opinion, where he's got to be

737
00:35:05,400 --> 00:35:08,120
Speaker 1: clearly better than the younger guy. Because it's at that

738
00:35:08,120 --> 00:35:10,279
Speaker 1: point where it's like, okay, well we can kind of

739
00:35:10,360 --> 00:35:11,960
Speaker 1: keep getting what we're getting from him, or we can

740
00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:13,200
Speaker 1: go with the younger guy that can give us a

741
00:35:13,239 --> 00:35:16,239
Speaker 1: similar production. But and so that that's what makes it

742
00:35:16,280 --> 00:35:18,640
Speaker 1: harder for him. As he keeps getting older, it makes

743
00:35:18,640 --> 00:35:20,600
Speaker 1: it harder for him just to be that guy. He's

744
00:35:20,600 --> 00:35:23,920
Speaker 1: got to take that next step. I will say. You know, again,

745
00:35:24,040 --> 00:35:27,359
Speaker 1: this coaching staff loves veterans who know what they're doing. Though,

746
00:35:27,440 --> 00:35:30,239
Speaker 1: you know, I mean, if if Keith O'Quinn feels like

747
00:35:30,360 --> 00:35:32,799
Speaker 1: he can play all the teams and get his assignments

748
00:35:32,880 --> 00:35:34,719
Speaker 1: right and if he needs to, he can do some

749
00:35:34,719 --> 00:35:37,520
Speaker 1: stuff on defense, that might be valuable to them. And

750
00:35:37,840 --> 00:35:40,200
Speaker 1: you know, every team's got to Every team has a

751
00:35:40,400 --> 00:35:43,479
Speaker 1: safety on the roster who like, well, if he learns

752
00:35:43,480 --> 00:35:45,319
Speaker 1: how to cover, we could have something here. So but

753
00:35:45,360 --> 00:35:47,560
Speaker 1: they have other guys that are core special teams guys.

754
00:35:47,680 --> 00:35:50,080
Speaker 1: I mean, they know Heath is a good special teams player.

755
00:35:50,120 --> 00:35:52,359
Speaker 1: Olali is a good special like. They got other guys

756
00:35:52,400 --> 00:35:55,120
Speaker 1: here that are good special teams players. So I don't

757
00:35:55,160 --> 00:35:58,920
Speaker 1: know that he's like they're a special teams guy. It

758
00:35:58,960 --> 00:36:01,960
Speaker 1: would not surprise me if the roster crunch catches up

759
00:36:01,960 --> 00:36:03,759
Speaker 1: with him, which would bum me out because I love

760
00:36:03,840 --> 00:36:05,520
Speaker 1: him to death. It's a great guy. I just I

761
00:36:06,320 --> 00:36:08,239
Speaker 1: know that as you get older in the NFL, that's

762
00:36:08,239 --> 00:36:10,960
Speaker 1: it's a young man's game. If you're not providing something

763
00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:14,239
Speaker 1: significantly better than the younger guy, take a stop to

764
00:36:14,239 --> 00:36:17,080
Speaker 1: take a moment to consider you're calling a twenty five

765
00:36:17,200 --> 00:36:20,279
Speaker 1: or six year old old old. Absolutely, that's the nature

766
00:36:20,280 --> 00:36:23,680
Speaker 1: of the NFL. How does that make you feel? It's different? Really,

767
00:36:23,719 --> 00:36:29,000
Speaker 1: we had to go there for us. I'm being nice. Now,

768
00:36:29,040 --> 00:36:32,759
Speaker 1: I don't just say it. I ask a question. Now,

769
00:36:32,560 --> 00:36:36,840
Speaker 1: how about like that strategy? Yeah? I like that strategy?

770
00:36:36,960 --> 00:36:38,879
Speaker 1: Real which this is I guess this is my fault

771
00:36:38,920 --> 00:36:41,680
Speaker 1: because I started the show off by whining about the Kicker,

772
00:36:41,719 --> 00:36:45,080
Speaker 1: which I don't regret, but it's it seems harsh that

773
00:36:45,080 --> 00:36:47,200
Speaker 1: we've gone this far into the show and nobody brought

774
00:36:47,280 --> 00:36:50,040
Speaker 1: up Blake Jarwin. Actually I wanted to bring him up

775
00:36:50,080 --> 00:36:52,120
Speaker 1: as a guy that played well, played really well. He

776
00:36:52,160 --> 00:36:55,200
Speaker 1: really and I still I really like him. I stand

777
00:36:55,239 --> 00:36:57,399
Speaker 1: by my belief that he's going to have to work

778
00:36:57,480 --> 00:36:59,800
Speaker 1: really hard to take snaps away from Jason Witten. I

779
00:37:00,200 --> 00:37:03,160
Speaker 1: I gotta see that to believe it. But he looked nice,

780
00:37:03,239 --> 00:37:05,560
Speaker 1: and he looks like a guy who could be really

781
00:37:05,640 --> 00:37:08,480
Speaker 1: valuable in a scheme where the offensive coordinator knows how

782
00:37:08,520 --> 00:37:10,120
Speaker 1: to use him. The more I've thought about it, though,

783
00:37:10,120 --> 00:37:11,600
Speaker 1: I don't know that he has to take him away

784
00:37:11,600 --> 00:37:13,239
Speaker 1: from him, because I think the one thing I know

785
00:37:13,280 --> 00:37:15,640
Speaker 1: about the scene they love they love to tight end

786
00:37:15,680 --> 00:37:18,719
Speaker 1: plenty of so he's gonna get on the field a lot.

787
00:37:18,760 --> 00:37:21,600
Speaker 1: And I'm what I'll be interested to see is sometimes

788
00:37:21,600 --> 00:37:24,279
Speaker 1: when they're in twelve personnel, they'll keep one tight end

789
00:37:24,280 --> 00:37:27,080
Speaker 1: back to extra to have an extra blocker. I wonder

790
00:37:27,080 --> 00:37:30,839
Speaker 1: how that transition works, like because it up a little

791
00:37:30,840 --> 00:37:33,000
Speaker 1: bit more and Blake's going out, Like, let's keep an

792
00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:35,400
Speaker 1: eye on that, because that'll be something that'll that'll be

793
00:37:35,400 --> 00:37:37,160
Speaker 1: a tear. You won't see it in the number of snaps,

794
00:37:37,200 --> 00:37:38,720
Speaker 1: but you will see it in the number of times

795
00:37:38,719 --> 00:37:41,440
Speaker 1: that Blake's going out versus going out. I saw that.

796
00:37:41,600 --> 00:37:43,400
Speaker 1: You know, it was a really first It was a

797
00:37:43,440 --> 00:37:47,240
Speaker 1: really nice play action, which yeay, play action. That's exciting. Um.

798
00:37:47,719 --> 00:37:50,160
Speaker 1: He ran a crossing route and got behind the linebackers

799
00:37:50,160 --> 00:37:52,200
Speaker 1: and it was a nice pickup. But the play that

800
00:37:52,320 --> 00:37:56,880
Speaker 1: actually got me really excited was not even a catch. Um.

801
00:37:56,960 --> 00:37:59,560
Speaker 1: He went down the seam and Cooper Rush missed him.

802
00:37:59,600 --> 00:38:02,239
Speaker 1: I think he might have drawn a flag. Cooper Rush

803
00:38:02,280 --> 00:38:04,160
Speaker 1: missed him down the scene, but he was there and

804
00:38:04,200 --> 00:38:06,759
Speaker 1: he made a nice effort to get try to get it,

805
00:38:07,040 --> 00:38:09,839
Speaker 1: and I was like, yes, send the athletic tight end

806
00:38:09,880 --> 00:38:12,000
Speaker 1: fifteen to twenty yards down the field. That's what we

807
00:38:12,040 --> 00:38:14,960
Speaker 1: need to be doing. So that. It was exciting just

808
00:38:15,040 --> 00:38:18,000
Speaker 1: to see that, and I think he's capable of making

809
00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:19,600
Speaker 1: plays like that. He did it in the Giants game

810
00:38:19,680 --> 00:38:23,960
Speaker 1: last year. I'm I'm intrigued. I'm very intrigued by mister Jarwin.

811
00:38:24,280 --> 00:38:26,360
Speaker 1: Let's go ahead and take our final break. When we

812
00:38:26,400 --> 00:38:29,640
Speaker 1: come back, we need to dive into the backup quarterback position,

813
00:38:29,760 --> 00:38:36,600
Speaker 1: Cooper Rush or Mike White. We well, a player can

814
00:38:36,680 --> 00:38:39,000
Speaker 1: look good on paper, it's when he's out on the

815
00:38:39,040 --> 00:38:41,279
Speaker 1: field that you really find out what he's made of.

816
00:38:41,880 --> 00:38:44,680
Speaker 1: That's why the Cowboys rely on more than just stats

817
00:38:44,719 --> 00:38:48,680
Speaker 1: and scouting reports when building their team. When picking a tractor,

818
00:38:48,960 --> 00:38:51,240
Speaker 1: it's why you should rely on more than just specs

819
00:38:51,280 --> 00:38:53,879
Speaker 1: and features. You've got to take it out and put

820
00:38:53,920 --> 00:38:56,600
Speaker 1: it to the test. The Cowboys did when they named

821

Speaker 1: Back to the Break, Welcome back. This is the final

860
00:41:07,800 --> 00:41:12,680
Speaker 1: segment of the Break, and unfortunately for Dave, we do

861
00:41:12,880 --> 00:41:17,319
Speaker 1: have to talk about these backup quarterbacks. Cooper Rush Mike

862
00:41:17,400 --> 00:41:23,440
Speaker 1: White both got a previous cinemon of place in the game. Uh,

863
00:41:23,680 --> 00:41:25,480
Speaker 1: let's just start off with the one that did better,

864
00:41:25,680 --> 00:41:29,480
Speaker 1: Cooper Rush. Yeah, I mean he he did a nice

865
00:41:29,560 --> 00:41:31,680
Speaker 1: job out there, and he you know, threw a few

866
00:41:32,000 --> 00:41:35,719
Speaker 1: good balls around and you know, I thought he's he's uh,

867
00:41:36,719 --> 00:41:41,359
Speaker 1: he took a step forward because and it was two

868
00:41:41,360 --> 00:41:44,600
Speaker 1: steps ahead because then Mike White took a huge step back.

869
00:41:44,719 --> 00:41:49,000
Speaker 1: So yeah, a lot of people were like sending me

870
00:41:49,000 --> 00:41:52,560
Speaker 1: messages and saying, well, you know, it looks like there's

871
00:41:52,560 --> 00:41:55,479
Speaker 1: a roster spot there. There's two quarterbacks because that guy's

872
00:41:55,520 --> 00:41:58,000
Speaker 1: not gonna make the team. I tried to I tried

873
00:41:58,000 --> 00:42:03,719
Speaker 1: to help Mike out because from my perspective, like I

874
00:42:03,760 --> 00:42:05,239
Speaker 1: was sitting there, I was like, this guy doesn't have

875
00:42:05,280 --> 00:42:08,520
Speaker 1: any time, Like he's getting killed. He's with the third team.

876
00:42:08,520 --> 00:42:11,440
Speaker 1: Blah blah blah. It to me. You know, I'm not

877
00:42:11,760 --> 00:42:14,080
Speaker 1: I'm not a guru. It didn't it didn't look like

878
00:42:14,120 --> 00:42:15,680
Speaker 1: he had a lot to work with. So I go

879
00:42:15,760 --> 00:42:19,000
Speaker 1: to Brian. I was like, you watched it back, like yeah.

880
00:42:19,040 --> 00:42:20,759
Speaker 1: I was like, like he didn't have time, right. He

881
00:42:20,840 --> 00:42:23,520
Speaker 1: was like, oh no, Dave, like he he had all

882
00:42:23,560 --> 00:42:26,080
Speaker 1: the time he needed, like he he won't throw the ball.

883
00:42:26,120 --> 00:42:29,000
Speaker 1: I'm like, well, crap, all right, I don't have for

884
00:42:29,120 --> 00:42:31,120
Speaker 1: Brian to be like, man, I was wrong about that.

885
00:42:31,800 --> 00:42:34,919
Speaker 1: That was a guy, Brian. If you want to hear

886
00:42:34,960 --> 00:42:38,320
Speaker 1: somebody just go off on themselves, Like nobody hates Brian

887
00:42:38,440 --> 00:42:41,239
Speaker 1: more than he hates himself when it comes to evaluating quarterbacks.

888
00:42:41,360 --> 00:42:44,680
Speaker 1: Like Joey Harrington was his guy that didn't work out.

889
00:42:44,719 --> 00:42:46,600
Speaker 1: He had a third round grade on Mike White, which

890
00:42:46,640 --> 00:42:48,960
Speaker 1: he's we're not burying the guy yet, but not a

891
00:42:49,000 --> 00:42:52,640
Speaker 1: great start to think. But either, oh, Paxton Lance, Yeah,

892
00:42:52,719 --> 00:42:55,520
Speaker 1: that was his favorite. He liked him more than wins

893
00:42:55,600 --> 00:42:57,839
Speaker 1: and gone. And even when you talk about the fumble, like,

894
00:42:57,880 --> 00:43:00,480
Speaker 1: that's still on the quarterback. He's gonna share up. And

895
00:43:00,480 --> 00:43:02,319
Speaker 1: in that instance, I didn't think he necessarily need to

896
00:43:02,320 --> 00:43:03,879
Speaker 1: step up when he did. But even if he felt

897
00:43:03,880 --> 00:43:06,640
Speaker 1: like he needed to, he's still got to protect the ball.

898
00:43:06,719 --> 00:43:08,719
Speaker 1: That's his responsibility to protect the ball when he's having

899
00:43:08,719 --> 00:43:10,879
Speaker 1: to go through the line, and he didn't. And so

900
00:43:10,960 --> 00:43:13,080
Speaker 1: that regardless of what you think about whether he held

901
00:43:13,120 --> 00:43:14,520
Speaker 1: the ball or should have got rid of it or

902
00:43:14,680 --> 00:43:17,000
Speaker 1: had time or whatever, you still got a responsibility as

903
00:43:17,000 --> 00:43:19,440
Speaker 1: a quarterback hold onto the ball and he didn't. Did

904
00:43:19,520 --> 00:43:21,879
Speaker 1: you feel better? Do you feel better about Cooper Rush

905
00:43:21,960 --> 00:43:24,480
Speaker 1: than you did on Saturday afternoon? Actually? I do? I

906
00:43:24,480 --> 00:43:26,800
Speaker 1: think I do too, Actually I do. And I'm interested

907
00:43:26,880 --> 00:43:29,279
Speaker 1: to see I'd like to see, you know, I'd really

908
00:43:29,280 --> 00:43:30,799
Speaker 1: like to see is I'd like to see him work

909
00:43:30,800 --> 00:43:33,399
Speaker 1: with the ones in a preseason game for a little bit,

910
00:43:33,520 --> 00:43:36,000
Speaker 1: just to see what would he do if he were

911
00:43:36,000 --> 00:43:39,000
Speaker 1: in a game and Dad goes down and he's got

912
00:43:39,360 --> 00:43:41,120
Speaker 1: he's got to play. I want to see what he

913
00:43:41,120 --> 00:43:43,880
Speaker 1: looks like behind that line with those weapons. Can he

914
00:43:44,080 --> 00:43:46,880
Speaker 1: still move him down the field, because that's really what

915
00:43:46,960 --> 00:43:49,560
Speaker 1: the job is is if the quarterback goes down, can

916
00:43:49,600 --> 00:43:52,600
Speaker 1: you fill in as the backup quarterback. I haven't really

917
00:43:52,719 --> 00:43:54,800
Speaker 1: seen anything that suggests me either one of them is

918
00:43:54,880 --> 00:43:57,160
Speaker 1: necessarily ready for that, but I'd love to see it,

919
00:43:57,239 --> 00:43:58,799
Speaker 1: just so I can start get an opinion. That's what

920
00:43:58,840 --> 00:44:02,600
Speaker 1: Parcels did for Roma. Remember two thousand and five, he said,

921
00:44:02,640 --> 00:44:04,080
Speaker 1: all right, I'm just gonna let this guy take the

922
00:44:04,120 --> 00:44:06,640
Speaker 1: whole game, and bledso wasn't really happy about it. But

923
00:44:06,719 --> 00:44:08,360
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know if you would want to

924
00:44:08,400 --> 00:44:10,600
Speaker 1: do that and get your offensive line, I'll started writing

925
00:44:10,600 --> 00:44:12,560
Speaker 1: on the wall, right, yeah, but I mean, yeah, it's

926
00:44:12,560 --> 00:44:14,600
Speaker 1: a little I mean but but the difference there is

927
00:44:14,640 --> 00:44:16,680
Speaker 1: that you're thinking, maybe he's going to be a future

928
00:44:16,680 --> 00:44:19,600
Speaker 1: and you're about to sign Dac to do all that. So, uh,

929
00:44:19,920 --> 00:44:21,680
Speaker 1: I don't know if I if he goes that for

930
00:44:21,880 --> 00:44:23,239
Speaker 1: you know, far, I think you just had to see

931
00:44:23,239 --> 00:44:26,360
Speaker 1: it when you see it. When it's unfortunately, if that happens,

932
00:44:26,360 --> 00:44:27,719
Speaker 1: where he has to go in the game, but I

933
00:44:27,719 --> 00:44:30,000
Speaker 1: thought he did a pretty good job. This is the

934
00:44:30,080 --> 00:44:32,600
Speaker 1: question I've been asking myself, and my goal for the

935
00:44:32,640 --> 00:44:35,560
Speaker 1: week is to ask it to an important person off

936
00:44:36,000 --> 00:44:38,600
Speaker 1: the record now, like I'm sorry, more important than you,

937
00:44:38,719 --> 00:44:43,080
Speaker 1: like you know, VPS type of importance, like that type

938
00:44:43,080 --> 00:44:46,680
Speaker 1: of stuff. But at what point, there's like a there's

939
00:44:46,680 --> 00:44:50,400
Speaker 1: a line here. At what point are your backup quarterbacks

940
00:44:50,400 --> 00:44:54,759
Speaker 1: so bad that a guy that has no familiarity with

941
00:44:54,800 --> 00:44:57,080
Speaker 1: your scheme or anything is better? You know what I mean?

942
00:44:57,080 --> 00:44:59,040
Speaker 1: Because when it comes when you're when it comes down

943
00:44:59,080 --> 00:45:02,160
Speaker 1: to it, they're gonna say Cooper Rush or or Mike

944
00:45:02,200 --> 00:45:04,360
Speaker 1: White whatever. This guy's been here for two years. He

945
00:45:04,360 --> 00:45:06,319
Speaker 1: knows the offense, he knows Kellen, he knows Dak, he

946
00:45:06,360 --> 00:45:08,040
Speaker 1: does this, he does that, he knows our calls, he

947
00:45:08,080 --> 00:45:11,640
Speaker 1: knows our plays. So he's better, Like he might not

948
00:45:11,760 --> 00:45:15,040
Speaker 1: be better, but it's a negligible difference. So how much

949
00:45:15,080 --> 00:45:17,399
Speaker 1: better does somebody else's guy have to be to where

950
00:45:17,400 --> 00:45:19,520
Speaker 1: You're like, I don't care that he doesn't know anything

951
00:45:19,560 --> 00:45:22,439
Speaker 1: about this team. Get him in here. And I don't

952
00:45:22,440 --> 00:45:24,319
Speaker 1: know the answer that, Like I have my doubts that

953
00:45:24,360 --> 00:45:26,960
Speaker 1: a quarterback that will be made available at roster cuts

954
00:45:27,040 --> 00:45:28,839
Speaker 1: is going to be that much of an improvement, I think,

955
00:45:28,880 --> 00:45:30,799
Speaker 1: because if he is, and he wouldn't be available, right,

956
00:45:30,880 --> 00:45:34,839
Speaker 1: I think it comes down to he has to come

957
00:45:34,880 --> 00:45:37,960
Speaker 1: in and play. So I think the question of that

958
00:45:38,120 --> 00:45:41,160
Speaker 1: is when that guy actually needs to come play. So

959
00:45:41,480 --> 00:45:42,840
Speaker 1: are you going to just bring a guy in to

960
00:45:42,920 --> 00:45:45,000
Speaker 1: be a backup quarterback? I don't know, but if if

961
00:45:45,000 --> 00:45:46,680
Speaker 1: you have, I think if Dak were to get hurt,

962
00:45:47,840 --> 00:45:49,640
Speaker 1: I think that you didn't, that's when you would say,

963
00:45:49,640 --> 00:45:51,439
Speaker 1: all right, this guy's gonna come in here and play.

964
00:45:51,560 --> 00:45:54,480
Speaker 1: We gotta get him ready. Maybe plays, but at some

965
00:45:54,560 --> 00:45:56,279
Speaker 1: point you have to. I think that's that's kind of

966
00:45:56,280 --> 00:45:59,600
Speaker 1: been the mantra the last year, maybe two. But I

967
00:45:59,600 --> 00:46:00,920
Speaker 1: think it's some point you got to get to a

968
00:46:00,920 --> 00:46:02,920
Speaker 1: point where you're like, Okay, we have a backup quarterback

969
00:46:02,920 --> 00:46:05,719
Speaker 1: for a reason, and if he's here, then he is

970
00:46:05,760 --> 00:46:07,640
Speaker 1: that person that's going to play. It's not gonna be

971
00:46:07,680 --> 00:46:09,840
Speaker 1: a well he's our guy that we're kind of getting

972
00:46:09,880 --> 00:46:12,440
Speaker 1: ready for that day. But but at what point is

973
00:46:12,440 --> 00:46:15,160
Speaker 1: he's like ready to be your backup your head coach

974
00:46:15,280 --> 00:46:17,640
Speaker 1: that's here has actually lived it. So he was the

975
00:46:17,680 --> 00:46:20,520
Speaker 1: backup quarterback until Troy really got hurt and then all

976
00:46:20,560 --> 00:46:22,959
Speaker 1: of a sudden they had to go get someone else.

977
00:46:23,239 --> 00:46:25,799
Speaker 1: If Dad gets hurt, it's gonna be twenty fifteen all

978
00:46:25,800 --> 00:46:28,000
Speaker 1: over again. Like they'll do it. They'll do a trade

979
00:46:28,120 --> 00:46:32,080
Speaker 1: for somebody, or they'll convince Josh McCown to come out

980
00:46:32,080 --> 00:46:35,000
Speaker 1: of retirement. They'll pay him a nice salary. To me,

981
00:46:35,080 --> 00:46:37,640
Speaker 1: that begs the question, then is he really a backup

982
00:46:37,719 --> 00:46:41,000
Speaker 1: quarter Like, well, he's not a backup quarterback? Question, he's

983
00:46:41,040 --> 00:46:43,200
Speaker 1: a I mean he is because he can do that

984
00:46:43,280 --> 00:46:45,319
Speaker 1: stuff and he helps you practice and stuff. But like,

985
00:46:45,400 --> 00:46:47,520
Speaker 1: I don't believe either one of these guys would be

986
00:46:48,120 --> 00:46:50,279
Speaker 1: their answer if they needed him for a long time.

987
00:46:50,920 --> 00:46:52,480
Speaker 1: You mentioned, but I mean, what are you What are

988
00:46:52,520 --> 00:46:56,799
Speaker 1: you gonna do? Well, get get the guy that get

989
00:46:56,840 --> 00:46:58,320
Speaker 1: the guy that you think actually is going to be

990
00:46:58,360 --> 00:47:00,840
Speaker 1: your backup quarterback, because if it comes down to it,

991
00:47:00,880 --> 00:47:03,520
Speaker 1: I want that guy here as much time as possible.

992
00:47:03,719 --> 00:47:07,239
Speaker 1: Is that you're you're saying he's gonna magically be available

993
00:47:07,440 --> 00:47:09,960
Speaker 1: at the time. Then what I'm trying to tell you

994
00:47:10,000 --> 00:47:12,280
Speaker 1: in nice terms is that they're screwed if the starter

995
00:47:12,360 --> 00:47:15,719
Speaker 1: gets hurt. But they will, if it comes down to it,

996
00:47:15,719 --> 00:47:20,279
Speaker 1: they will do something desperate to help themselves because like,

997
00:47:20,320 --> 00:47:22,839
Speaker 1: they don't need Josh McCown here right now, but if

998
00:47:22,840 --> 00:47:25,439
Speaker 1: they don't have a quarterback, they will and they'll say,

999
00:47:25,520 --> 00:47:27,759
Speaker 1: we'll give you ten million dollars to come try to bail.

1000
00:47:27,800 --> 00:47:30,000
Speaker 1: I guess that's my point is so if if you

1001
00:47:30,000 --> 00:47:33,160
Speaker 1: think that's the case, then get him here now, is

1002
00:47:33,200 --> 00:47:35,800
Speaker 1: my opinion. Why wouldn't you just why would it because

1003
00:47:35,880 --> 00:47:37,600
Speaker 1: you don't need him right I don't need him right now?

1004
00:47:38,600 --> 00:47:41,160
Speaker 1: Is it good? No? But like it's there's only it'll

1005
00:47:41,200 --> 00:47:43,400
Speaker 1: be better if he's been here and he has to play.

1006
00:47:43,560 --> 00:47:45,000
Speaker 1: Then if you bring him in off the street and

1007
00:47:45,000 --> 00:47:47,200
Speaker 1: he's got him, you're not gonna give a guy like

1008
00:47:47,239 --> 00:47:50,120
Speaker 1: that that kind of money just in case like not,

1009
00:47:51,000 --> 00:47:54,080
Speaker 1: I mean, like there are teams to pay their backup quarterback. Yeah,

1010
00:47:54,120 --> 00:47:55,840
Speaker 1: that's a long term plan, and you could make the

1011
00:47:55,920 --> 00:47:58,280
Speaker 1: argument they should have a better option, and they probably

1012
00:47:58,320 --> 00:48:02,440
Speaker 1: will next year, like next year, unless something crazy happens

1013
00:48:02,440 --> 00:48:05,319
Speaker 1: and Mike White becomes the savior or Cooper Rush for

1014
00:48:05,360 --> 00:48:07,160
Speaker 1: that matter. You guys don't think do you guys think

1015
00:48:07,160 --> 00:48:10,520
Speaker 1: that Cooper Rush has the ability to get there? Like

1016
00:48:10,600 --> 00:48:12,520
Speaker 1: do you think his trajectory will get him to the

1017
00:48:12,520 --> 00:48:14,360
Speaker 1: point where he is legitimately your back up and you

1018
00:48:14,400 --> 00:48:16,160
Speaker 1: feel like he is the guy who's gonna lead you

1019
00:48:16,360 --> 00:48:18,920
Speaker 1: in the event your starter goes down. No, not really,

1020
00:48:19,160 --> 00:48:21,360
Speaker 1: but because that's why I'm saying, didn't. You're just spinning

1021
00:48:21,360 --> 00:48:23,880
Speaker 1: your wheels. What's the point We're not they're not spinning

1022
00:48:23,880 --> 00:48:26,640
Speaker 1: the wheels, Like they don't have a way to upgrade

1023
00:48:26,680 --> 00:48:29,280
Speaker 1: that position right now short of like doing something crazy,

1024
00:48:29,360 --> 00:48:31,080
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Like you could try to

1025
00:48:31,360 --> 00:48:33,480
Speaker 1: draft another one next year or sign an undrafted free

1026
00:48:33,520 --> 00:48:35,960
Speaker 1: agent next year, Like I don't. I don't know what

1027
00:48:36,000 --> 00:48:37,719
Speaker 1: you do about it right now, And that's kind of

1028
00:48:37,719 --> 00:48:40,000
Speaker 1: my point. I mean, they did that. They drafted a

1029
00:48:40,080 --> 00:48:42,239
Speaker 1: quarterback in the fifth round that they thought was was

1030
00:48:42,280 --> 00:48:45,120
Speaker 1: a good quarterback, that thought at this point he should

1031
00:48:45,160 --> 00:48:50,080
Speaker 1: definitely be better than Cooper Rush. And it hasn't happened. Ye, yeah,

1032
00:48:50,080 --> 00:48:53,200
Speaker 1: and it didn't work. There's there's not a whole lot

1033
00:48:53,239 --> 00:48:55,600
Speaker 1: you can do about it right now. Like some quarterbacks

1034
00:48:55,600 --> 00:48:58,080
Speaker 1: will become available when camp is over, but again, like

1035
00:48:58,120 --> 00:49:01,560
Speaker 1: will they be drastic upgrades? I guess it would be interesting.

1036
00:49:01,600 --> 00:49:03,480
Speaker 1: Maybe they'll do a Kellen Moore type of thing. You know,

1037
00:49:03,760 --> 00:49:06,560
Speaker 1: Kellen Moore got here on the practice squad. If you'll remember,

1038
00:49:06,600 --> 00:49:09,320
Speaker 1: he was Lenahan's guy, like maybe Kellen Moore, like somebody,

1039
00:49:09,320 --> 00:49:10,880
Speaker 1: and they'll bring in a guy like, hey, maybe we

1040
00:49:10,920 --> 00:49:12,919
Speaker 1: can work with this guy and see what he's got.

1041
00:49:13,400 --> 00:49:15,719
Speaker 1: It's not out of the realm possibility. No one's gonna

1042
00:49:15,719 --> 00:49:17,719
Speaker 1: ever think Cooper Rush can do it until he has

1043
00:49:17,760 --> 00:49:19,560
Speaker 1: to do it. I mean, you're just not gonna ever

1044
00:49:19,600 --> 00:49:21,680
Speaker 1: think that way. I don't think so. You've got none

1045
00:49:21,719 --> 00:49:24,200
Speaker 1: of you guys think think that way. But if he

1046
00:49:24,280 --> 00:49:26,440
Speaker 1: were to get her and he they're down by seven

1047
00:49:26,520 --> 00:49:28,399
Speaker 1: to the Eagles, and he goes and drives him down

1048
00:49:28,440 --> 00:49:30,200
Speaker 1: and wins the game, and then in overtime he goes

1049
00:49:30,200 --> 00:49:32,719
Speaker 1: and they win the game, We're gonna be thinking completely

1050
00:49:32,719 --> 00:49:35,520
Speaker 1: different about this guy. Da Prescott, Dak Prescott. He's an

1051
00:49:35,520 --> 00:49:37,520
Speaker 1: exact example because we all thought they were crazy when

1052
00:49:37,520 --> 00:49:40,200
Speaker 1: they say it, we're just gonna roll with him. It's like, really, yeah,

1053
00:49:40,600 --> 00:49:42,719
Speaker 1: Jamille Showers is better than this guy. You're just gonna

1054
00:49:42,800 --> 00:49:44,799
Speaker 1: roll with him. Yeah, Okay, I mean everybody was seeing

1055
00:49:44,800 --> 00:49:47,640
Speaker 1: Glad get somebody off the street do not roll, and

1056
00:49:47,880 --> 00:49:50,879
Speaker 1: they went with it and it worked. So yeah, that's

1057
00:49:50,920 --> 00:49:54,280
Speaker 1: just what's gonna take but maybe that just doesn't happen.

1058
00:49:54,360 --> 00:49:57,920
Speaker 1: Maybe Dak just plays. I mean, Dak's Dak's built like

1059
00:49:57,960 --> 00:49:59,880
Speaker 1: a tank, not doing anything, but you can throw it

1060
00:50:00,000 --> 00:50:02,839
Speaker 1: and running can catch. He did catch. He did catch.

1061
00:50:03,440 --> 00:50:06,640
Speaker 1: I was gonna say this. This isn't necessarily about the quarterback,

1062
00:50:06,680 --> 00:50:09,480
Speaker 1: but it's just something I've been mulling over since Saturday night.

1063
00:50:10,120 --> 00:50:13,279
Speaker 1: I haven't run numbers on it, but just anecdotally having

1064
00:50:13,320 --> 00:50:15,799
Speaker 1: watched all of their preseason games for five years, Like

1065
00:50:16,520 --> 00:50:18,640
Speaker 1: when you get into the second half of these games

1066
00:50:19,280 --> 00:50:23,320
Speaker 1: and it's just backups playing street ball with each other basically,

1067
00:50:23,320 --> 00:50:26,040
Speaker 1: Like why it just seems like the Cowboys are always

1068
00:50:26,040 --> 00:50:29,480
Speaker 1: like overmatched, Like it seriously looked like they get their

1069
00:50:29,560 --> 00:50:31,640
Speaker 1: butts killed by the time third teams were in there.

1070
00:50:31,760 --> 00:50:33,640
Speaker 1: It was like you did it felt like that it

1071
00:50:33,640 --> 00:50:36,000
Speaker 1: happens all the time, like it happened last year, Like

1072
00:50:36,080 --> 00:50:38,200
Speaker 1: it is a normal thing for the Cowboys to not

1073
00:50:38,239 --> 00:50:40,520
Speaker 1: score touchdowns in the preseason, Like that's just a thing

1074
00:50:40,600 --> 00:50:43,399
Speaker 1: that happens. I feel like, and I wonder why, Like

1075
00:50:43,880 --> 00:50:47,800
Speaker 1: is the other team scheming? Like are they trying harder

1076
00:50:47,800 --> 00:50:49,480
Speaker 1: at scheming? And the Cowboys are kind of like we

1077
00:50:49,520 --> 00:50:51,520
Speaker 1: just kind of want to see him in a natural environment,

1078
00:50:51,600 --> 00:50:53,520
Speaker 1: because that's what Garrett always says. He just kind of

1079
00:50:53,520 --> 00:50:55,319
Speaker 1: wants to roll the ball out there. Maybe the other

1080
00:50:55,320 --> 00:50:58,799
Speaker 1: team is trying harder to scheme stuff up because we

1081
00:50:58,840 --> 00:51:00,640
Speaker 1: sit here all the time and talk how deep this

1082
00:51:00,719 --> 00:51:03,440
Speaker 1: roster is, Well, it doesn't look very deep when the

1083
00:51:03,480 --> 00:51:07,200
Speaker 1: third stringers are just getting bullied. And that's it looked

1084
00:51:07,239 --> 00:51:10,560
Speaker 1: like the third team offense. Their first first down that

1085
00:51:10,680 --> 00:51:13,040
Speaker 1: wasn't a penalty came on that it was the final

1086
00:51:13,120 --> 00:51:14,759
Speaker 1: drive where they tried to go tie the game, Like

1087
00:51:14,800 --> 00:51:17,239
Speaker 1: that's when they got their first first down of the half.

1088
00:51:17,239 --> 00:51:19,520
Speaker 1: Were they trying to tie the game or try to

1089
00:51:20,520 --> 00:51:22,279
Speaker 1: air quotes tie the game? Where I think they would

1090
00:51:22,320 --> 00:51:23,879
Speaker 1: have I think they would have kicked the extra point,

1091
00:51:23,920 --> 00:51:28,000
Speaker 1: And that's that is peak preseason. You're like, well, we'd

1092
00:51:28,120 --> 00:51:30,479
Speaker 1: rather see our kicker try an extra point than tie

1093
00:51:30,480 --> 00:51:33,600
Speaker 1: this game. He would be crucified with any decision that

1094
00:51:33,760 --> 00:51:36,480
Speaker 1: he went. He'd Jason if he would have tried to

1095
00:51:36,480 --> 00:51:39,960
Speaker 1: tie the game in overtime to force overtime for preseason,

1096
00:51:40,080 --> 00:51:42,400
Speaker 1: but if he also just kicked it and said, and

1097
00:51:42,680 --> 00:51:45,480
Speaker 1: how many people would say, you don't even care about winning?

1098
00:51:45,520 --> 00:51:48,680
Speaker 1: This guy? That is just a chance. The vast majority

1099
00:51:48,719 --> 00:51:52,359
Speaker 1: of intelligent fans would say, good, get mahers some work

1100
00:51:52,480 --> 00:51:56,600
Speaker 1: kicking extra. There are plenty of stupids, of course, there

1101
00:51:56,600 --> 00:51:58,799
Speaker 1: are plenty of stupids who would be like, you play

1102
00:51:58,880 --> 00:52:01,440
Speaker 1: to win the game. Like the number of tweets I

1103
00:52:01,440 --> 00:52:04,440
Speaker 1: got on Saturday night that was like, I know it's preseason,

1104
00:52:04,520 --> 00:52:07,040
Speaker 1: but I want to win. Damn it. I'm like, how

1105
00:52:07,040 --> 00:52:11,400
Speaker 1: are you? How do you still feel? No, no, it's preseason,

1106
00:52:11,600 --> 00:52:15,000
Speaker 1: but stop, I know it's preseason. Well, I will say

1107
00:52:15,040 --> 00:52:17,440
Speaker 1: this about the offensive line in particular, like they had

1108
00:52:17,440 --> 00:52:19,640
Speaker 1: some guys out there playing into the fourth quarter that

1109
00:52:19,680 --> 00:52:22,759
Speaker 1: were guys that might be starting for this team due

1110
00:52:22,760 --> 00:52:24,520
Speaker 1: to you know, injuries or whatever. Like, there are some

1111
00:52:24,560 --> 00:52:26,360
Speaker 1: guys out there they had played that have started for

1112
00:52:26,400 --> 00:52:29,280
Speaker 1: this team in the past. Um. And you know, particularly

1113
00:52:29,960 --> 00:52:32,480
Speaker 1: Xavier stuel Filo, he had some he had some tough

1114
00:52:32,520 --> 00:52:35,240
Speaker 1: moments out there in the fourth quarter. Yeah, I personally

1115
00:52:35,320 --> 00:52:38,640
Speaker 1: was wondering whether he was, you know, really physically ready

1116
00:52:38,680 --> 00:52:40,640
Speaker 1: to play a full game, Like he basically played a

1117
00:52:40,640 --> 00:52:44,040
Speaker 1: full game out there. Um. But so if you're just

1118
00:52:44,040 --> 00:52:46,720
Speaker 1: talking about this talent level, there was cowboys at talent

1119
00:52:46,800 --> 00:52:48,960
Speaker 1: level out there. They just for whatever reason, in the

1120
00:52:48,960 --> 00:52:50,960
Speaker 1: fourth quarter looked like they were getting it. I just

1121
00:52:51,160 --> 00:52:53,640
Speaker 1: a little bit for what For whatever reason, in the

1122
00:52:53,719 --> 00:52:56,600
Speaker 1: fourth quarter of these preseason games, it often looks like

1123
00:52:56,640 --> 00:52:59,799
Speaker 1: the Cowboys are not playing football on offense specifically, like

1124
00:52:59,800 --> 00:53:02,960
Speaker 1: the defense. You know, I expect, I expect growing pains

1125
00:53:03,000 --> 00:53:06,279
Speaker 1: from rookie dbs and stuff like that. But often I'm

1126
00:53:06,320 --> 00:53:08,840
Speaker 1: just like, but is it also maybe the coordinate And

1127
00:53:08,880 --> 00:53:10,920
Speaker 1: now every team does this, so it's not like the

1128
00:53:10,960 --> 00:53:13,440
Speaker 1: Cowboys are different. We think maybe it's about the fact that,

1129
00:53:13,520 --> 00:53:16,799
Speaker 1: particularly offensive line, these guys don't really play together, like

1130
00:53:16,840 --> 00:53:19,080
Speaker 1: they haven't developed the chemistry of a line. And if

1131
00:53:19,120 --> 00:53:21,239
Speaker 1: you listen to people talk about football, I mean, the

1132
00:53:21,239 --> 00:53:24,520
Speaker 1: offensive line is all about coordination, right, It's it's kind

1133
00:53:24,520 --> 00:53:26,719
Speaker 1: of working together as five the forty nine ers, I mean,

1134
00:53:26,760 --> 00:53:29,360
Speaker 1: they didn't look amazing, but they were competently moving the

1135
00:53:29,400 --> 00:53:31,399
Speaker 1: ball down field. That's and that's all I said. Every

1136
00:53:31,400 --> 00:53:32,920
Speaker 1: team has to do it. I'm just saying like, maybe

1137
00:53:32,920 --> 00:53:35,000
Speaker 1: for the Cowboys, maybe the fact that you know, maybe

1138
00:53:35,000 --> 00:53:36,680
Speaker 1: there's something to that, because like I said, I don't

1139
00:53:36,719 --> 00:53:38,920
Speaker 1: think it was the talent level, but you're right, it

1140
00:53:39,000 --> 00:53:41,320
Speaker 1: does feel like that and start get into the second

1141
00:53:41,320 --> 00:53:44,200
Speaker 1: half in these preseason games, and the Cowboys just seem like, yeah,

1142
00:53:44,280 --> 00:53:46,200
Speaker 1: it's just not a great time for them in the preseas.

1143
00:53:46,239 --> 00:53:48,200
Speaker 1: It happens all the time. I mean, I think last

1144
00:53:48,239 --> 00:53:51,080
Speaker 1: year they lost twenty four to twenty one, but all

1145
00:53:51,080 --> 00:53:53,319
Speaker 1: of those points came earlier in the game, and the

1146
00:53:53,400 --> 00:53:56,359
Speaker 1: forty nine ers, remember, like, came back. Yeah, same thing

1147
00:53:56,400 --> 00:54:00,120
Speaker 1: I think when when they opened the that game in

1148
00:54:00,160 --> 00:54:03,359
Speaker 1: the Coliseum against the Rams, Like the Cowboys ran up

1149
00:54:03,440 --> 00:54:05,440
Speaker 1: ten nothing in the first like five minutes, and then

1150
00:54:05,440 --> 00:54:07,080
Speaker 1: the Rams came back and won at the end because

1151
00:54:07,080 --> 00:54:09,680
Speaker 1: the Cowboys didn't score after the first teamers got out

1152
00:54:09,680 --> 00:54:13,680
Speaker 1: of the game. It's curious. It's interesting because even me

1153
00:54:13,800 --> 00:54:16,239
Speaker 1: when I was watching the game, you know, I'm like, okay, well,

1154
00:54:16,960 --> 00:54:19,240
Speaker 1: it's the third team for the Cowboys. I'm like, okay,

1155
00:54:19,280 --> 00:54:22,960
Speaker 1: wait a second, it's also the third team for my

1156
00:54:23,000 --> 00:54:27,160
Speaker 1: old crap. For the record, I really don't care. It's

1157
00:54:27,200 --> 00:54:30,000
Speaker 1: preseason football, but like, it is weird that it just

1158
00:54:30,160 --> 00:54:32,520
Speaker 1: kind of all falls apart when the third team goes in,

1159
00:54:32,600 --> 00:54:34,880
Speaker 1: like all the time for this team. I don't know.

1160
00:54:35,040 --> 00:54:37,400
Speaker 1: Now we have a few minutes left on the show.

1161
00:54:38,000 --> 00:54:41,160
Speaker 1: After watching this first preseason game, what is something that

1162
00:54:41,200 --> 00:54:43,160
Speaker 1: you're going to be keeping an eye on this week?

1163
00:54:43,239 --> 00:54:49,120
Speaker 1: Brett Maher Brett Maher, I think one of these receivers

1164
00:54:49,120 --> 00:54:51,239
Speaker 1: has to step up. I'm not. I'm not sure the

1165
00:54:51,280 --> 00:54:54,239
Speaker 1: fifth and sixth guy is actually on this team right now.

1166
00:54:54,600 --> 00:54:57,719
Speaker 1: I really no. I mean, like Dave said, that's weird

1167
00:54:57,719 --> 00:55:00,400
Speaker 1: to say because I've been talking about receivers for Browns

1168
00:55:00,400 --> 00:55:03,680
Speaker 1: on this team. But okay, yeah, I think Noah Browns,

1169
00:55:03,760 --> 00:55:06,319
Speaker 1: maybe maybe the six receivers on on here and maybe

1170
00:55:06,480 --> 00:55:08,600
Speaker 1: they don't keep six. I don't know. I've just been

1171
00:55:08,640 --> 00:55:11,640
Speaker 1: trying to do the roster here, and um, I thought

1172
00:55:11,640 --> 00:55:13,600
Speaker 1: I could get to fifty three, but I don't know

1173
00:55:13,640 --> 00:55:16,400
Speaker 1: if you need six wide receivers maybe. I mean I

1174
00:55:16,480 --> 00:55:19,920
Speaker 1: kind of think that John Vay Johnson uh and Cedric

1175
00:55:19,960 --> 00:55:22,239
Speaker 1: Wilson are kind of battling for that six spot if

1176
00:55:22,239 --> 00:55:24,080
Speaker 1: they're going to have a six spot. I'm not I'm

1177
00:55:24,120 --> 00:55:26,759
Speaker 1: not trying to bury anybody after one game, but like, yeah,

1178
00:55:26,880 --> 00:55:29,200
Speaker 1: I had that thought too, Nick, where I was just like,

1179
00:55:29,320 --> 00:55:31,360
Speaker 1: I've been sitting here thinking about six receivers, like do

1180
00:55:31,440 --> 00:55:34,600
Speaker 1: they really need it? Like so, but gallup Cooper a

1181
00:55:34,600 --> 00:55:37,520
Speaker 1: lot more, a lot more opportunities I would like to

1182
00:55:37,560 --> 00:55:41,000
Speaker 1: have a sixth one because, uh, you know, is Tavon

1183
00:55:41,120 --> 00:55:43,520
Speaker 1: gonna step in and really handle a big workload if

1184
00:55:43,560 --> 00:55:45,879
Speaker 1: somebody gets hurt, is he going to be You're inactive though?

1185
00:55:46,200 --> 00:55:49,080
Speaker 1: Whoever that six or six receiver? Probably yeah and all

1186
00:55:49,120 --> 00:55:52,200
Speaker 1: And every year we fret about it, and every year

1187
00:55:52,280 --> 00:55:54,560
Speaker 1: guys get through to the practice squad and that'll probably.

1188
00:55:54,560 --> 00:55:58,080
Speaker 1: There's no spot on this roster for three quarterbacks, right,

1189
00:55:58,160 --> 00:55:59,960
Speaker 1: There's just not. There's too many positions. You have a

1190
00:56:00,120 --> 00:56:02,200
Speaker 1: hard time having to cut down. Right. The only way

1191
00:56:02,239 --> 00:56:04,560
Speaker 1: you're gonna get three quarterbacks, I think is if, like

1192
00:56:04,560 --> 00:56:07,080
Speaker 1: we said, something happened to that and then Cooper and

1193
00:56:07,120 --> 00:56:09,520
Speaker 1: then then you gotta get I mean, something happens let's

1194
00:56:09,520 --> 00:56:13,080
Speaker 1: say like four weeks or something and then short time. Yeah,

1195
00:56:13,440 --> 00:56:16,560
Speaker 1: but I mean I'm going through the roster and I'm

1196
00:56:16,600 --> 00:56:19,880
Speaker 1: trying to get eleven eleven defensive It is tough because

1197
00:56:20,400 --> 00:56:22,520
Speaker 1: I'm just trying to go to nine defensive backs. And

1198
00:56:23,000 --> 00:56:24,920
Speaker 1: that's tough too. I don't know how you go nine

1199
00:56:24,960 --> 00:56:28,280
Speaker 1: defensive backs. The defense is where it gets hard because

1200
00:56:28,280 --> 00:56:31,960
Speaker 1: they're linebackers. Yeah, but they well, now that Gifford's hurt, maybe,

1201
00:56:32,000 --> 00:56:35,560
Speaker 1: but they love their linebackers. Yeah, you know, we didn't

1202
00:56:35,560 --> 00:56:40,560
Speaker 1: talk about forty four linebackers. Yeah, Justin Phillips came in

1203
00:56:40,600 --> 00:56:43,440
Speaker 1: for Gifford and played really very well. He was he's

1204
00:56:43,480 --> 00:56:45,440
Speaker 1: the guy they cut right before camp and then when

1205
00:56:45,680 --> 00:56:48,640
Speaker 1: they another guy, was it not Innate Hall? Who was

1206
00:56:48,640 --> 00:56:52,279
Speaker 1: the other guy they cut? Um? Well, they released Andrew down,

1207
00:56:52,760 --> 00:56:54,960
