He's not here today, 0:01:56.040 --> 0:01:58.880 but his baby boy is graduating. 0:02:00.160 --> 0:02:01.720 Congrats, Congrats, congrats. 0:02:03.200 --> 0:02:08.639 I can imagine he's being very emotional right now, but 0:02:08.880 --> 0:02:13.560 congratulations to him and his whole family. That's very exciting. 0:02:13.880 --> 0:02:17.720 And for today's show, I was telling much before we 0:02:17.760 --> 0:02:20.119 started that I have a set of questions that they're 0:02:20.160 --> 0:02:21.320 just kind of all over the place. 0:02:21.639 --> 0:02:24.200 Nothing new has really happened since. 0:02:24.000 --> 0:02:25.239 Last week Wheelhouse. 0:02:26.480 --> 0:02:29.920 It's nothing too crazy, honestly, But we're gonna start with 0:02:30.360 --> 0:02:35.160 the first one right now, looking at what the roster 0:02:35.360 --> 0:02:38.000 currently looks like. And I don't want to get too 0:02:38.040 --> 0:02:40.760 ahead of myself and talk about training camp, but why not, 0:02:41.000 --> 0:02:45.480 right sure, which position group currently has the most depth 0:02:45.800 --> 0:02:50.160 and which is the biggest concern heading into training camp. 0:02:51.760 --> 0:02:54.480 I think your offensive land room area again is pretty full. 0:02:55.000 --> 0:02:57.440 You know, we walked into you know, we walked into 0:02:57.480 --> 0:02:59.680 the off season thinking that a couple of people were 0:02:59.720 --> 0:03:03.000 gonna getting a lot of reps and that person was 0:03:03.040 --> 0:03:06.160 a starter listed as a starter, and the Cowboys made 0:03:06.200 --> 0:03:07.960 a Hugh Mugs move in a draft to kind of 0:03:07.960 --> 0:03:11.399 mitigate that. So now you have starter level backup guys, 0:03:11.440 --> 0:03:13.040 and they may not be guys that you wanted to 0:03:13.080 --> 0:03:16.360 be started for seventeen eighteen games, but starting for seven games, 0:03:16.360 --> 0:03:17.799 eight games, nine games, we know that. 0:03:18.320 --> 0:03:19.040 They can do that. 0:03:19.160 --> 0:03:21.000 Plus, there was just this group of guys that were 0:03:21.040 --> 0:03:24.480 just signed how came Identergy and you know Charles that 0:03:24.600 --> 0:03:27.760 came out of retirement. So you know, there's a gang 0:03:27.760 --> 0:03:30.559 of offensive line here. So if you're talking about real competition, 0:03:30.840 --> 0:03:32.560 a lot of those guys maybe not at the top 0:03:32.600 --> 0:03:34.080 of the old line room, but the bottom of the 0:03:34.320 --> 0:03:36.680 room is definitely gonna be, you know, fighting for their life. 0:03:36.800 --> 0:03:40.240 Watch real quick on the depth of that offensive line though, Yes, sir, 0:03:40.360 --> 0:03:43.280 and you mentioned some guys coming like retirement guys and 0:03:43.400 --> 0:03:45.400 guys that are kind of being bouncing around the league. 0:03:46.040 --> 0:03:47.920 But do you feel like there's somebody out of that 0:03:48.000 --> 0:03:51.200 backup group that is going to emerge as one of 0:03:51.240 --> 0:03:53.760 the ten the weekly maybe at ninth or tenth guy 0:03:54.120 --> 0:03:55.920 that we're gonna talk about, Oh man, this is our 0:03:56.000 --> 0:03:58.160 swing tackle, this is our swing We kind of think 0:03:58.240 --> 0:03:59.680 like Hoffmen and guys like that. 0:04:00.160 --> 0:04:01.360 One of those guys that they've. 0:04:01.240 --> 0:04:05.880 Brought in, Jones, some of those guys gonna be a 0:04:04.920 --> 0:04:07.000 a vital piece. 0:04:07.320 --> 0:04:08.720 Is gonna have to be a tackle. Brian. 0:04:08.760 --> 0:04:11.200 I don't I don't see this world where somebody takes 0:04:11.480 --> 0:04:14.880 big Tyler's job or Booker's job, or you know, BB's 0:04:14.920 --> 0:04:16.920 done his job at center guy, and we know who 0:04:17.240 --> 0:04:21.520 Brock is. But if there's any question mark, if there's 0:04:21.640 --> 0:04:24.479 any question mark on his offensive line right now, it's 0:04:24.520 --> 0:04:25.279 your left tackle. 0:04:25.360 --> 0:04:25.480 Now. 0:04:25.520 --> 0:04:28.160 I think Tyler Guiden will be fine. He just needs, 0:04:28.160 --> 0:04:29.440 you know, he just needs to get a little bigger 0:04:29.440 --> 0:04:30.840 and strong. And we saw him a little bigger and 0:04:30.839 --> 0:04:32.160 a little strong. We got a little more time for 0:04:32.240 --> 0:04:35.320 him to lift some weights and stronger, eat some peanut butter. 0:04:35.400 --> 0:04:37.159 But we got to see got to. 0:04:37.120 --> 0:04:39.960 See crustables need to come into play real fast. Right. 0:04:40.160 --> 0:04:42.360 But you know, if you just lay it all out, 0:04:42.400 --> 0:04:45.360 I don't see a world where Sadiq Charles is taking 0:04:45.839 --> 0:04:49.239 Tyler either either Tyler's job right, But what if Austin 0:04:49.320 --> 0:04:50.200 Richards has a rediction. 0:04:50.279 --> 0:04:52.039 That's what I want to talk about there, And I 0:04:52.080 --> 0:04:54.400 know Ambart's a great question, but I want to talk 0:04:54.400 --> 0:04:57.359 about I want to talk about Austome Richards stuff. I 0:04:57.360 --> 0:04:59.880 think it's about time for Awesome Richards to step up 0:05:00.120 --> 0:05:02.480 really and all of a sudden, we've noticed him at 0:05:02.480 --> 0:05:04.839 camps before, a g You and I we've all there, 0:05:04.880 --> 0:05:06.720 We've all stood out there and like, oh, look at 0:05:06.720 --> 0:05:09.320 Awesome Richards. That one on one rep. That's pretty good there. 0:05:09.400 --> 0:05:11.880 Oh you know what I'm saying, you'll get a chance. 0:05:12.839 --> 0:05:20.480 You get yet you're the show. Yeah, get ready to 0:05:20.480 --> 0:05:22.680 get there. But to me, that's what I'm saying, if 0:05:22.760 --> 0:05:25.440 all of a sudden, Awesome Richard shows up as a 0:05:25.480 --> 0:05:29.360 guy that's really seriously competing at the left tackle spot, 0:05:30.040 --> 0:05:32.320 huge win, huge win for the Cowboys. 0:05:32.400 --> 0:05:35.520 Now, how Bryant, how good does Austome Richards have to 0:05:35.560 --> 0:05:39.400 be to seat Tyler Guide? Because they're gonna give Guide 0:05:39.480 --> 0:05:43.760 every opportunity to the job. However, we saw Tyler Guid 0:05:43.800 --> 0:05:47.400 and got a little healthy last year and was still taking. 0:05:47.640 --> 0:05:48.960 Coaches fighting for their jobs. 0:05:49.680 --> 0:05:52.719 Coaches fighting for their jobs there, that's a hey, we 0:05:52.839 --> 0:05:54.880 have to we have to win, we have to cover, 0:05:55.040 --> 0:05:57.440 we have to do They were they weren't going to 0:05:57.720 --> 0:05:59.640 they they weren't going to play that kid. It's a 0:05:59.760 --> 0:06:02.640 shame did it all went down that way? But you 0:06:02.680 --> 0:06:05.840 had coaches fighting for their jobs that that wasn't gonna happen. 0:06:05.960 --> 0:06:09.040 So whether it be guided playing poorly or if Awesome 0:06:09.120 --> 0:06:12.680 Richards just emerges, right, that's that's really how good does 0:06:12.720 --> 0:06:15.000 Auesome Riches have to be in order for us to 0:06:15.040 --> 0:06:15.479 go all? 0:06:15.600 --> 0:06:15.760 Right? 0:06:15.839 --> 0:06:18.599 That was the previous playing Awesome Richards is killing it 0:06:18.680 --> 0:06:21.360 right now like a like a Dak Prescott, Tony Romo. 0:06:21.720 --> 0:06:24.080 We can't deny a young kid anymore. How good does 0:06:24.120 --> 0:06:24.880 awesome have to be? 0:06:25.240 --> 0:06:27.560 I think it comes down personally For me, it comes 0:06:27.600 --> 0:06:31.920 down to consistency. Can you consistently be good? Because I 0:06:31.960 --> 0:06:35.039 think he's shown traits of being good and what he 0:06:35.160 --> 0:06:37.719 could be. But to me what I've seen, it just 0:06:37.720 --> 0:06:40.960 hasn't been consistent. Now that has to do with how 0:06:41.040 --> 0:06:43.960 much opportunities, how much playing time do they give him? 0:06:44.560 --> 0:06:47.479 And you already talked about that. What was happening last year. 0:06:47.560 --> 0:06:51.400 But I think if you can consistently show up, that's 0:06:51.400 --> 0:06:55.480 something that is very valuable, especially especially in the O line, 0:06:55.480 --> 0:06:59.120 that's something that you really need to have from somebody. 0:06:59.400 --> 0:07:03.480 So that's number one. Yeah, bullet point for me. How 0:07:03.520 --> 0:07:04.360 consistent are you? 0:07:04.520 --> 0:07:06.760 What's kind of happened with Bass and all those guys 0:07:06.800 --> 0:07:08.680 and Nathan Thomas and those guys. 0:07:08.680 --> 0:07:09.680 What's gonna happen to see the. 0:07:09.760 --> 0:07:12.640 Nathan Thomas one? We don't really know about there. My 0:07:12.800 --> 0:07:15.520 hope is that Nathan Thomas is a guard. You know, 0:07:15.520 --> 0:07:18.000 we always talk about in college football the red shirt 0:07:18.040 --> 0:07:20.640 where you don't you know, you maintain your eligibility, but 0:07:20.720 --> 0:07:21.760 you don't play that year. 0:07:22.120 --> 0:07:24.000 What you do then is you go into the weight room, 0:07:24.160 --> 0:07:25.040 you do all these things. 0:07:25.080 --> 0:07:28.200 Hopefully's the diet, the meals, working with you know, the 0:07:28.280 --> 0:07:30.560 extra work that he's getting with the strength coaches and 0:07:31.280 --> 0:07:33.880 you know, the trainers and stuff like that. Hopefully he 0:07:33.960 --> 0:07:36.440 comes back as a different guy that way, because we 0:07:36.560 --> 0:07:38.880 once he got to camp, it's like it was just 0:07:39.040 --> 0:07:41.640 very very brief. Oh he's over on field too, he's 0:07:41.680 --> 0:07:44.240 overdoing this, he's overdoing you know, we didn't get to 0:07:44.400 --> 0:07:47.080 see that player that we maybe thought that came out 0:07:47.080 --> 0:07:49.200 of Louisiana when they drafted him. 0:07:49.360 --> 0:07:51.720 So my hope is that all of a sudden. 0:07:51.720 --> 0:07:55.880 He's competing with Hoffman, He's competing with bass. I think 0:07:55.920 --> 0:07:58.520 Hoffman's on this team because I think he's your backup center. 0:07:58.640 --> 0:08:01.440 So that's where now everybodybody else, I think is free game. 0:08:01.680 --> 0:08:04.840 If I could circle back though about with about with 0:08:05.160 --> 0:08:07.960 what's going on with Geyton, I think Giton is going 0:08:08.000 --> 0:08:13.600 to have more rope than than than maybe anybody else 0:08:13.640 --> 0:08:16.400 that competes with him at that spot. You know, I 0:08:16.520 --> 0:08:19.239 really really really do, because I think that they want 0:08:19.320 --> 0:08:21.520 him to be that guy. I think they I think 0:08:21.560 --> 0:08:24.360 they really really want to see and maybe that's something 0:08:24.400 --> 0:08:27.880 with Jerry and Steven and Will ask Brian Schottenheimer, Hey, 0:08:28.360 --> 0:08:31.880 find ways to get some of these guys involved that 0:08:31.920 --> 0:08:34.800 we drafted. And I think there's going to be times 0:08:34.800 --> 0:08:37.160 where all of a sudden we're looking at Geyton and 0:08:37.200 --> 0:08:40.319 we're saying, whoa good repod, Oh that was a bad rep. 0:08:40.360 --> 0:08:42.720 Oh that was another bad rep. I think he's going 0:08:42.800 --> 0:08:45.520 to have some rope here, but I would love to 0:08:45.559 --> 0:08:48.559 see some competition over there, and if the best guy wins, 0:08:48.800 --> 0:08:49.880 let that be the case. 0:08:50.080 --> 0:08:52.160 Also, that's the nature of when you're drafted in the 0:08:52.200 --> 0:08:54.360 first round. Sure rope is going to be a little 0:08:54.360 --> 0:08:58.000 longer than so it's going to be an interesting Smith 0:08:58.040 --> 0:09:01.960 petition there as it was kinda it's kind of. 0:09:02.760 --> 0:09:03.800 Trust more trust. 0:09:05.240 --> 0:09:08.040 We can feel this whole saving watch this, Uh, ladies 0:09:08.040 --> 0:09:11.120 and gentlemen, Brian bro bar Garcia, if I could just 0:09:11.200 --> 0:09:13.520 name another unit that's kind of packed up in there, 0:09:13.559 --> 0:09:15.439 and I think it's gonna bring a little bit of 0:09:15.800 --> 0:09:17.400 controversy come camp times. 0:09:17.480 --> 0:09:20.840 Those edges. You know you you you you draft a guy. 0:09:21.360 --> 0:09:22.120 Micha is a guy. 0:09:22.440 --> 0:09:24.520 Dante Fowler is a guy that was here and he 0:09:24.640 --> 0:09:27.839 wasn't really you know, he wasn't really utilized properly. Confusing 0:09:28.200 --> 0:09:31.000 he goes to Washington Football Wizards. 0:09:31.040 --> 0:09:32.920 The football Wizards, we've learned about. 0:09:32.960 --> 0:09:35.880 Double digit sack guy. I imagine he's gonna come back 0:09:35.880 --> 0:09:38.240 here and he'll be used as a double digit sack guy. 0:09:38.559 --> 0:09:41.240 Marshawn Kneeling, young guy, Peyton Turner. It's probably gon be 0:09:41.280 --> 0:09:43.079 like a rundown guy for you. What does this leave 0:09:43.160 --> 0:09:46.000 Sam Williams. That's why I'm asking you, guys, where does 0:09:46.040 --> 0:09:48.640 this leave Sam Williams? In this this room full of 0:09:48.720 --> 0:09:51.160 full of edge guys, full of past rush. And you 0:09:51.200 --> 0:09:53.640 can only rotate and and and bring so many of 0:09:53.720 --> 0:09:54.640 those guys. 0:09:54.440 --> 0:09:57.280 To the bus. What about what about edge? Do we do? 0:09:57.360 --> 0:09:57.679 We do? 0:09:57.720 --> 0:09:58.040 We do? 0:09:58.120 --> 0:10:00.520 We lose somebody that we didn't think woul that we 0:10:00.559 --> 0:10:01.600 didn't think that we would lose. 0:10:01.960 --> 0:10:04.280 Right, I wonder how much rope that Sam Williams has. 0:10:05.040 --> 0:10:06.959 See That's the thing about it is with Sam. And 0:10:07.520 --> 0:10:09.800 I'm sure there's people watching this right now and saying, hey, 0:10:09.840 --> 0:10:11.920 brought us you cut Sam Williams. 0:10:11.960 --> 0:10:14.440 He will be on someone's roster, you know, blah blah blah. 0:10:14.440 --> 0:10:16.760 We saw it with Randy Gregory, Yeah we saw you know. 0:10:16.840 --> 0:10:19.920 That's exactly right. Guy's got a lot of talent. But 0:10:19.960 --> 0:10:24.160 Ambar says, how about some consistency, Give me some consistency, 0:10:24.480 --> 0:10:27.239 you know, go out there. There's times where he's flashed. 0:10:27.559 --> 0:10:29.760 That's what scarre scouts to death. So all of a 0:10:29.760 --> 0:10:31.960 sudden you see this flash player and you're like going, 0:10:32.000 --> 0:10:34.720 whoa wait a minute, this guy and then you know, 0:10:34.840 --> 0:10:37.120 kind of disappears. This is a big year for Sam 0:10:37.160 --> 0:10:42.080 Williams because there's guys now that had been drafted by 0:10:42.240 --> 0:10:46.120 previous regimes that are no longer here and you don't 0:10:46.160 --> 0:10:47.679 have that. And I've sat in a lot of those 0:10:47.720 --> 0:10:50.640 personnel meetings, you know in the summertime where the coach 0:10:50.679 --> 0:10:52.840 is like, oh, we've got to have this guy. Well, coach, 0:10:52.880 --> 0:10:55.400 he's not, well, go we got. We can't play without 0:10:55.480 --> 0:10:57.800 this guy we get, you know, and now, so I 0:10:57.800 --> 0:11:00.480 think Sam Williams is kind of in that category right 0:11:00.520 --> 0:11:04.280 now where he must step up. And people again are 0:11:04.280 --> 0:11:06.280 out there, I guarantee you, oh yeah, I just kind 0:11:06.280 --> 0:11:08.240 of brought us. He'll be on somebody else's team and 0:11:08.240 --> 0:11:11.080 he'll be doing something else, are they right, Ambar. 0:11:11.679 --> 0:11:15.080 Absolutely, I think that's the consensus and a lot of 0:11:15.080 --> 0:11:17.800 people that watched that. But I think Sam Williams, obviously 0:11:17.800 --> 0:11:20.559 his injury came at a really bad time for him, terrible, 0:11:20.640 --> 0:11:21.559 terrible time, and he. 0:11:21.679 --> 0:11:23.679 Was might not a way got valor if if you 0:11:23.800 --> 0:11:24.960 had a guy like that and. 0:11:24.880 --> 0:11:25.720 He was ascending. 0:11:25.800 --> 0:11:28.840 But at the same time, something that I think he 0:11:28.920 --> 0:11:32.560 embodies what the Cowboys look for in a guy that 0:11:32.640 --> 0:11:35.920 represents the star. And this goes beyond the field. What 0:11:36.080 --> 0:11:39.040 you don't see, it happens behind the scenes. He's a 0:11:39.080 --> 0:11:42.840 guy that has been showing up consistently last year, even 0:11:42.880 --> 0:11:45.360 though he wasn't on the field and he was recovering, 0:11:45.559 --> 0:11:48.160 he was always there. He was always and I say 0:11:48.200 --> 0:11:52.280 always quote unquote, but every time I saw a community event, 0:11:52.840 --> 0:11:55.760 who was there showing up Sam Williams showing Oh. 0:11:55.679 --> 0:11:57.480 I thought you were going to take this another way? 0:11:57.720 --> 0:11:58.200 What way? 0:11:58.679 --> 0:12:00.160 I thought you were gonna take this in the way 0:12:00.160 --> 0:12:03.720 that he likes to drive fast and cause problems time because. 0:12:06.640 --> 0:12:07.280 For something that happened. 0:12:07.320 --> 0:12:09.760 No, no, no, no, I'm just saying I thought you 0:12:09.760 --> 0:12:11.240 were gonna say, well, we don't. 0:12:11.040 --> 0:12:12.600 Really get quick. 0:12:12.880 --> 0:12:14.680 He has learned from that experience. 0:12:14.720 --> 0:12:16.560 I think when I got a race team, I'd love 0:12:16.600 --> 0:12:17.679 saying first one. 0:12:18.960 --> 0:12:21.079 I think it's changed and he has improved. 0:12:21.120 --> 0:12:23.200 Okay, I see what you're doing here. I see what 0:12:23.200 --> 0:12:23.480 you're doing. 0:12:23.600 --> 0:12:25.040 That happens since that incident. 0:12:25.120 --> 0:12:26.600 Will effects playing a good way? 0:12:26.640 --> 0:12:31.880 Will effect Think that again, if you are committed into 0:12:32.160 --> 0:12:35.360 showing up to the recovery and the training and with 0:12:35.440 --> 0:12:38.400 those coaches and training and doing everything that you need 0:12:38.480 --> 0:12:41.520 to do to get back onto the field, it's. 0:12:41.360 --> 0:12:42.800 Going to show up on the field. 0:12:42.880 --> 0:12:46.680 Now, penalties and all that crazy stuff that has happened. 0:12:47.080 --> 0:12:49.640 As far as discipline, I think he's a motivated guy, 0:12:49.679 --> 0:12:51.040 and I'm rooting for him right now. 0:12:51.200 --> 0:12:53.320 This team has has shown you that they have a 0:12:53.400 --> 0:12:56.040 hard work and wire receiving a hard working right guard. 0:12:56.280 --> 0:12:58.880 And both those guys got bumped down by better dudes. 0:12:59.080 --> 0:13:00.959 Shout out of saying I'll we make it because look, 0:13:01.000 --> 0:13:03.600 we need you, we need you player. But uh boy, 0:13:03.720 --> 0:13:05.360 it's some It's some guys in that room. And if 0:13:05.400 --> 0:13:08.200 I had to think about what my NASCAR pass Rushie 0:13:08.200 --> 0:13:11.240 packager look like, it'll it'll be Micro over there. It'll 0:13:11.280 --> 0:13:14.280 be Dancy or Michael roaming around somewhere, Dante over there, 0:13:14.360 --> 0:13:16.400 Donovan'll be getting some os. Is probably gonna be in 0:13:16.440 --> 0:13:18.520 the middle of somewhere Overshawn when he's healthy, he's blitzing 0:13:18.520 --> 0:13:21.240 from somewhere. It's gonna be hard to take somebody off 0:13:21.240 --> 0:13:24.400 the field, but we'll see. 0:13:24.200 --> 0:13:26.280 We'll see special teams you need to get. 0:13:26.320 --> 0:13:27.360 That's you got hurt. 0:13:28.920 --> 0:13:31.400 Moving all right, let's go ahead and take our first break. 0:13:31.480 --> 0:13:34.120 When we come back, we'll continue this conversation and how 0:13:34.160 --> 0:13:38.960 the roster is currently looking like here with the Cowboys. 0:13:39.360 --> 0:13:41.960 Todd thought it would be secure to jogging the Cheatah Savannah. 0:13:42.160 --> 0:13:45.319 Todd believed the Big Cat repellent he bought online was reliable, 0:13:45.640 --> 0:13:47.800 and now Todd is trying to be faster than this 0:13:47.880 --> 0:13:50.520 cheetah that can run eighty miles per hour.

This segment is presented 0:16:43.040 --> 0:16:48.360 by blockchain dot Com. Hey, there we go, all right, 0:16:48.440 --> 0:16:50.840 next question for you guys to read it slow. 0:16:51.480 --> 0:16:53.640 It was good. Thank you for that. Appreciate you. 0:16:55.280 --> 0:16:59.920 What does the current roster suggest about the Cowboys launch 0:17:00.120 --> 0:17:04.680 and vision? Are they building for twenty twenty five playoff, 0:17:04.840 --> 0:17:09.720 push or laying the groundwork for twenty twenty six again 0:17:09.840 --> 0:17:12.600 looking at a lot of young talent that they've brought in. 0:17:12.680 --> 0:17:14.280 I know what he's going to say, but go ahead, 0:17:15.000 --> 0:17:17.280 I gotta leave it off. I go ahead, No, go ahead, Well, 0:17:17.359 --> 0:17:18.400 I mean so polite. 0:17:18.600 --> 0:17:21.960 Well, if you're drafting a guard, I'm gonna agree with 0:17:21.960 --> 0:17:25.359 what he says. If you're if you're drafting a guard 0:17:25.440 --> 0:17:27.840 and a you know, like a young pass rusher and 0:17:27.880 --> 0:17:29.840 a running back, that would make me think that they're 0:17:30.480 --> 0:17:33.399 looking for the future. But you you you rolling some dice, 0:17:33.680 --> 0:17:37.240 yeah on this pickings thing, you know, and they value 0:17:37.320 --> 0:17:39.879 third round picks like some teams value first round picks. 0:17:39.880 --> 0:17:41.719 So if you want to give that thing away just 0:17:41.720 --> 0:17:44.919 to have another dude up in here, I think that 0:17:45.000 --> 0:17:47.160 says a lot about what they're trying to do right now. 0:17:47.760 --> 0:17:49.920 I feel like as long as you have four, you're 0:17:49.960 --> 0:17:52.399 in the fight somehow, like like Dak is you know, 0:17:52.440 --> 0:17:56.120 he's here, he's healthy. You're in the playoff situation somehow. 0:17:56.560 --> 0:17:58.680 So from there, if you're trying to win this year, 0:17:58.720 --> 0:18:01.359 it's your job to to give him what he needs. 0:18:01.400 --> 0:18:04.240 And it's been a while since Dak has had everything 0:18:04.480 --> 0:18:06.240 that he needs. Or just think about how the Eagles 0:18:06.320 --> 0:18:08.440 run things, right, if Dak had one of those type 0:18:08.600 --> 0:18:10.800 you know, deals or whatever, We're just constantly filling their 0:18:10.880 --> 0:18:13.320 roster up. The Eagles show you how urgent they are 0:18:13.680 --> 0:18:16.840 to win championships, and they win championships, right, So this 0:18:16.920 --> 0:18:19.439 Saquon Barkley move and them may be a George Pickens 0:18:19.520 --> 0:18:21.920 move for like just this top tier player, and we're 0:18:21.920 --> 0:18:23.800 giving up all of our resource for it. They didn't 0:18:23.800 --> 0:18:25.600 do that, but we give up all just this third 0:18:25.680 --> 0:18:27.320 round pick that the Cowboys love. 0:18:27.400 --> 0:18:29.199 To go get George Pickens. I was shocked by this. 0:18:29.280 --> 0:18:30.840 And he's on the last deal of his the last 0:18:30.880 --> 0:18:33.160 year of his deal. Yeah, the Cowboys shooting the dice 0:18:33.200 --> 0:18:33.399 on this. 0:18:33.480 --> 0:18:35.080 Yeah, you're absolutely right, my friend. 0:18:35.280 --> 0:18:38.000 That's a situation where too, you know, even look at 0:18:38.000 --> 0:18:39.760 what they're doing on the defensive side of the ball. 0:18:39.800 --> 0:18:43.040 With the addition of the linebackers, you know, the defensive line, 0:18:43.080 --> 0:18:45.639 the guys that they've added there. You know, they've added 0:18:45.720 --> 0:18:48.200 veteran guys, a couple of guys on some one year deals. Heck, 0:18:48.240 --> 0:18:51.200 we just talked about Fouler, you know. I mean they've 0:18:51.240 --> 0:18:54.000 added some guys to try and make a run right 0:18:54.040 --> 0:18:56.399 now and be competitive. I don't look at it as 0:18:56.480 --> 0:18:59.000 band aid type moves, but I kind of look at 0:18:59.040 --> 0:19:01.639 it as like, you know, sometimes you go bottom fishing, 0:19:01.680 --> 0:19:03.840 and it's like you get what you get. You get 0:19:03.880 --> 0:19:05.320 some trash fish on your hook. 0:19:05.560 --> 0:19:05.800 You know. 0:19:05.840 --> 0:19:08.359 I think the Cowboys they had a plan for what 0:19:08.400 --> 0:19:10.720 they wanted to do to trading wise. I think the 0:19:10.800 --> 0:19:16.200 fact that they stayed aggressive even after the draft, that's big. 0:19:16.200 --> 0:19:19.159 Going after George Pickens. You know, they said, you know, 0:19:19.200 --> 0:19:22.439 they saw a situation George Pickens probably not fitting in 0:19:22.520 --> 0:19:22.920 with what the. 0:19:22.840 --> 0:19:23.640 Steelers are doing. 0:19:23.680 --> 0:19:25.920 The fact that they even talked about Bateman from the 0:19:26.000 --> 0:19:28.840 Ravens that's a second round pick, but he wanted more 0:19:28.880 --> 0:19:32.120 money and stuff like that. So they they're trying right now. 0:19:32.280 --> 0:19:36.120 The right guard helps the quarterback. The young running back 0:19:36.240 --> 0:19:38.400 helps the quarterback because he might be the future guy. 0:19:38.440 --> 0:19:40.800 When this is all said, and done. But look at 0:19:40.800 --> 0:19:42.119 the things that they were able to do with the 0:19:42.119 --> 0:19:44.359 wide receiver. That might be a one year rental for 0:19:44.400 --> 0:19:48.000 a third round pick. That's an aggressive move right there. Defensively, 0:19:48.040 --> 0:19:50.080 Like I said, they've added a lot of some veteran 0:19:50.119 --> 0:19:52.719 guys over to that side of the ball. This is 0:19:52.760 --> 0:19:55.240 not really a long term thing involved. This is more 0:19:55.280 --> 0:19:56.840 about playing for now. 0:19:56.960 --> 0:19:58.200 Ah, brother, let me ask you something. 0:20:00.119 --> 0:20:02.560 You remember a couple of days ago, Shottenheimer did his 0:20:03.080 --> 0:20:05.600 you know, press conference or whatnot, and they was like, hey, Shotty, 0:20:05.640 --> 0:20:06.920 what win to the Pickings thing? 0:20:07.040 --> 0:20:07.200 Right? 0:20:07.680 --> 0:20:09.600 And Shotty was like, oh, yeah, we did a ton 0:20:09.600 --> 0:20:11.680 of research and we felt good and we all talked 0:20:11.720 --> 0:20:13.240 about it, and we all got together as a great 0:20:13.240 --> 0:20:15.760 big family, talked about George Pickens pulled the trigger. Now 0:20:15.800 --> 0:20:20.119 he's here. Comparing contrast that to when Mike McCarthy was 0:20:20.160 --> 0:20:22.560 on the radio one O five three and asked him 0:20:22.560 --> 0:20:24.840 about Trey Lance and Mike and Mike was like, I 0:20:24.840 --> 0:20:26.560 didn't even know that they were trade for Trey Lance. 0:20:27.520 --> 0:20:29.840 Trey Lance just happened to pop up on my doorstep. 0:20:29.920 --> 0:20:32.520 Nobody asked me about the quarterback situation or what I 0:20:32.560 --> 0:20:33.560 thought about backup at all. 0:20:33.720 --> 0:20:34.760 Just Trey Lance is here. 0:20:34.760 --> 0:20:37.280 Now what do you think about the differences in those 0:20:37.359 --> 0:20:41.359 two situations? Who like does one have more power than 0:20:41.400 --> 0:20:44.040 the other or was Mike McCarthy just not interested in 0:20:44.119 --> 0:20:47.720 team in team building when Schottenheimer is Dan Quinn when 0:20:47.760 --> 0:20:49.439 he needed help, happening to get all the help that 0:20:49.480 --> 0:20:52.920 he wants. So now we're here Schottenheimer Draft day, Bryant 0:20:53.680 --> 0:20:56.600 tapping on the board, fighting for his guys. Right, he 0:20:56.680 --> 0:20:59.080 has a saying what's going on? He gets these guys. 0:20:59.280 --> 0:21:01.800 Mike McCarty, Oh, yeah, it doesn't matter who you pick, 0:21:01.800 --> 0:21:02.919 got X, Y, Z and bar. 0:21:03.080 --> 0:21:04.520 What do you say about what I just said? 0:21:05.200 --> 0:21:09.400 Well, again, looking back at that first press conference that 0:21:09.760 --> 0:21:12.960 where the Cowboys were introducing Schottenheimer as a new head 0:21:13.000 --> 0:21:15.080 coach and something that they talked about and that Jerry 0:21:15.160 --> 0:21:19.120 Jones mentioned that he gained a lot of respect from 0:21:19.200 --> 0:21:24.080 Brian because times where he knew when to keep his 0:21:24.119 --> 0:21:29.080 mouth ghost. Yeah, but that didn't mean he wasn't aware 0:21:29.200 --> 0:21:32.240 of what was happening, and when the time came, he 0:21:32.320 --> 0:21:35.800 let it all out and talked and really voiced his opinion. 0:21:36.080 --> 0:21:40.000 I think that just it instilled a lot of respect 0:21:40.080 --> 0:21:41.840 and it gained a lot of power. He was able 0:21:41.920 --> 0:21:44.639 to gain power, and again, when you start talking to 0:21:46.160 --> 0:21:49.480 him and listening to him, you started just buying what 0:21:49.600 --> 0:21:53.359 he's selling and falling for what he's doing. And this 0:21:53.520 --> 0:21:56.080 is just a difference of personality. It's not to say 0:21:56.080 --> 0:22:00.239 that Mike McCarthy wasn't respected here and that the Cowboys were, 0:22:00.440 --> 0:22:03.320 you know, paying attention to what he was trying to do, 0:22:03.400 --> 0:22:07.000 because they did a lot to kind of let him 0:22:07.040 --> 0:22:10.080 do his thing. Obviously, there were times where you had 0:22:10.160 --> 0:22:12.720 question mark, like the running back position, there were a 0:22:12.760 --> 0:22:15.159 lot of question marks what was happening there in some 0:22:15.200 --> 0:22:18.640 of the decisions that were taken with that position specifically. 0:22:19.080 --> 0:22:24.199 But Shottenheimer, even though he doesn't have the experience, what 0:22:24.359 --> 0:22:26.600 he's doing, is very magical in the way that he's 0:22:26.640 --> 0:22:28.840 been able to gain so much power here and to 0:22:28.920 --> 0:22:33.280 be listening is especially during the draft, making those decisions. 0:22:33.359 --> 0:22:36.080 So it just goes back to saying, it seems like 0:22:36.160 --> 0:22:39.320 everybody gets along and everybody is on the same page 0:22:39.359 --> 0:22:42.680 and in tune, and there's no those random oh wait, 0:22:42.760 --> 0:22:45.040 what y'all did that? Yeah, I didn't know about it 0:22:45.080 --> 0:22:47.679 first time hearing about it. So everyone seems to be 0:22:47.720 --> 0:22:49.840 in sync with this and he goes back to the 0:22:49.920 --> 0:22:52.680 new culture that he's trying to put here with the team. 0:22:52.880 --> 0:22:55.600 I just think it's interesting because you know, fans will 0:22:55.640 --> 0:22:59.040 get on social media and fuss and look, I'm fans also, 0:22:59.080 --> 0:23:00.760 I'll go out there and fuss like one of the 0:23:00.840 --> 0:23:03.800 Jones is doing anything. I wonder if Mike was just 0:23:03.840 --> 0:23:05.480 one of these guys like, hey, just give me the 0:23:05.480 --> 0:23:07.600 guys and I'll just coach w whatever that you that 0:23:07.680 --> 0:23:09.800 you get for me, right. But I wonder if the 0:23:09.880 --> 0:23:12.600 Joneses this whole time, they just had this checkbook waiting, 0:23:12.640 --> 0:23:15.800 waiting for Mia McCarthy and he just didn't use it. Schottenheimer, 0:23:16.000 --> 0:23:18.480 twenty days on the job, goes, hey, man, some gotta 0:23:18.520 --> 0:23:20.640 happen here, here, here, here, here, And now we see 0:23:20.640 --> 0:23:22.680 stuff happening. And this has been one of the more 0:23:22.720 --> 0:23:25.720 active offseas that we've had. I just wonder if that's 0:23:25.760 --> 0:23:26.600 because of the head coach. 0:23:27.240 --> 0:23:30.920 Yeah, he's not afraid to speak and walk around and 0:23:30.920 --> 0:23:33.240 say hey, I want this or I want that and 0:23:33.480 --> 0:23:37.280 voice it. And I think when you walk around with confidence, 0:23:37.720 --> 0:23:40.399 it just it changes the environment that you're starting to 0:23:40.440 --> 0:23:43.920 create around you. So I'm excited to continue to see 0:23:43.960 --> 0:23:47.520 what all they're building here. Next question for you guys, 0:23:47.800 --> 0:23:51.760 which undrafted and we haven't really talked about undrafted free 0:23:51.760 --> 0:23:56.600 agents on this show, but which undrafted free agent or 0:23:56.720 --> 0:24:00.520 late round pick has the best chance in again ahead 0:24:00.560 --> 0:24:04.440 of ourselves because we haven't seen real practice, but who 0:24:04.480 --> 0:24:08.000 has the best chance of making the fifty three man roster? 0:24:10.320 --> 0:24:10.520 Man? 0:24:10.560 --> 0:24:15.159 Do I need to go into my film? MafA? Well, no, 0:24:15.240 --> 0:24:17.120 it's I'm saying though, but late draft pick? 0:24:17.240 --> 0:24:18.600 Right? Is that? Was that the question? 0:24:18.760 --> 0:24:19.520 Late draft pick? 0:24:20.640 --> 0:24:21.120 Yeah? 0:24:21.160 --> 0:24:22.800 I know you're going to say the Auburn tight end. 0:24:22.800 --> 0:24:26.080 I know what you're gonna do there. I'll let you 0:24:26.240 --> 0:24:29.680 explain that one. Uh, the I could say I'm interested 0:24:29.800 --> 0:24:32.200 in Vatch and I were doing our show last night 0:24:32.640 --> 0:24:36.520 and we were talking about this. I want to be really, 0:24:36.560 --> 0:24:39.439 really really wrong about film MafA. I want to be 0:24:39.480 --> 0:24:42.119 wrong about him. And I'm saying this right now in 0:24:42.160 --> 0:24:45.760 a way of I'm intrigued by what the cowboys are 0:24:45.800 --> 0:24:49.359 going to see in this guy, because me personally, I 0:24:49.400 --> 0:24:51.160 know when we were doing work on the Draft show, 0:24:51.240 --> 0:24:55.760 there was guys like Alan from you know, Syracuse, Crosskey, 0:24:55.800 --> 0:25:01.119 Merrit from the from New Mexico, Arizona, U the colleges 0:25:02.160 --> 0:25:05.479 and you know, and then Crossky Merrit gets selected right 0:25:05.600 --> 0:25:08.800 after MafA does, and so now you're like going, WHOA, 0:25:09.040 --> 0:25:11.280 And I know Vatch was on cross Ky Merrick. So 0:25:11.400 --> 0:25:13.439 now you've got somebody in the division. And if he 0:25:13.520 --> 0:25:16.880 turns out to be and an early indication reports are 0:25:16.920 --> 0:25:20.000 like people are like, whoa, they got this late round guy. 0:25:20.080 --> 0:25:24.760 So I'm interested ambar and and and and I'm interested 0:25:24.840 --> 0:25:28.720 if MafA is going to come in and look better 0:25:28.840 --> 0:25:33.679 than Williams and Sanders and can he pair with Blue? 0:25:34.359 --> 0:25:38.760 That's that because they they have done something there that 0:25:39.080 --> 0:25:42.760 I personally wouldn't have done. But that's them, and that's good. 0:25:42.920 --> 0:25:46.120 That's that's their jobs to do that if they pull 0:25:46.200 --> 0:25:48.200 this off where all of a sudden, film MafA comes 0:25:48.240 --> 0:25:52.159 in here and is a physical running back that's you know, 0:25:52.320 --> 0:25:55.480 getting tough yards. And then and you know, maybe they're 0:25:55.520 --> 0:25:58.440 looking at more of the inside game stuff too. When 0:25:58.480 --> 0:26:00.800 you draft a guy like Booker, maybe they've come in 0:26:00.840 --> 0:26:03.000 and evaluated. Maybe we're not gonna see as much of 0:26:03.119 --> 0:26:05.680 pinning polls and things that we talked about. Maybe it's 0:26:05.680 --> 0:26:08.480 going to be about combo blocks and deuce blocks and 0:26:08.560 --> 0:26:11.800 second level blocks and those kinds of things. You know, 0:26:11.880 --> 0:26:13.960 maybe that element of getting the ball on the edge 0:26:14.000 --> 0:26:16.159 is going to turn into Blue being on the edge. 0:26:16.560 --> 0:26:20.000 But if Phil Moffa comes in and shows in training 0:26:20.040 --> 0:26:23.119 camp he's that tough kind of a runner that we 0:26:23.160 --> 0:26:25.960 saw a little bit at Clemson. Man, tip of the 0:26:26.000 --> 0:26:28.800 cap to them, because I personally would have gone a 0:26:28.840 --> 0:26:31.480 couple of different directions there other than him. 0:26:31.840 --> 0:26:33.720 I'd love to be proven wrong about that. 0:26:33.640 --> 0:26:35.919 One as far as mine. 0:26:36.000 --> 0:26:38.720 You know Brown, we already talked about this back and 0:26:38.760 --> 0:26:42.440 forth about this, you know fair Weather from Auburn. 0:26:42.520 --> 0:26:45.600 Right, yeah, tight end. Sometimes it's not about how good. 0:26:45.520 --> 0:26:48.919 Your quarterback player was all over the place. They're terrible, terrible. 0:26:49.080 --> 0:26:51.879 Sometimes it's not about how how good you are versus 0:26:51.880 --> 0:26:54.639 the whole team. Right, he may be the seventy something 0:26:54.760 --> 0:26:56.800 best player on his team, it doesn't matter. It's about 0:26:56.880 --> 0:27:00.400 his room and his role in that room. That's why 0:27:00.440 --> 0:27:03.639 I think it's going to give him an easier route 0:27:03.720 --> 0:27:06.000 to the team or whatnot. Right, Because if you're a 0:27:06.320 --> 0:27:08.320 let's say you're a pass rush, you gotta go against 0:27:08.359 --> 0:27:11.000 the three other pass rushers. There's Michael Parsons is there, 0:27:11.040 --> 0:27:14.440 Donovan is there, Dante. It's tough for a young pass 0:27:14.520 --> 0:27:17.879 rusher to come in and take pass rush reps. Not 0:27:18.080 --> 0:27:21.800 only is tight end easier small room, but the tight 0:27:21.960 --> 0:27:25.320 end room is broken down into rolls, right like Jake's 0:27:25.359 --> 0:27:27.200 the one guy that is what it is. Then you 0:27:27.280 --> 0:27:29.879 got these blocking tight ends. So Luke and Brevin are 0:27:29.960 --> 0:27:32.000 kind of fighting each other. But then there's like this 0:27:32.160 --> 0:27:36.160 jump ball, red zone guy, catch, radious guy, vertical guy, 0:27:36.320 --> 0:27:38.760 seam guy, John Stevens, who. 0:27:38.600 --> 0:27:41.280 We thought John Stevens was John Stevens, and we were 0:27:41.320 --> 0:27:44.040 ready to give that to John Stevens absolutely. You know, 0:27:44.119 --> 0:27:46.320 previously it'll be like hendershot of something. He'll be the 0:27:46.359 --> 0:27:47.360 downfield kind of guy. 0:27:47.440 --> 0:27:49.560 But John Stevens torn a cl and then he tore 0:27:49.560 --> 0:27:51.439 it again, or tore the same or just tore two 0:27:51.520 --> 0:27:54.119 different al I don't know. He's coming off a cl 0:27:54.240 --> 0:27:56.800 right now. So if you're fair Weather, you don't have 0:27:56.840 --> 0:28:00.920 to be better than Ferguson or Luke or Dak Prescott. 0:28:01.359 --> 0:28:03.880 You just got to beat John Stevens, yeah, coming off 0:28:03.920 --> 0:28:08.160 ACL new coaches, whatever, whatever. And they're the same kind 0:28:08.200 --> 0:28:12.600 of guy, that same vertical downhill guy. So if you're Fairweather, 0:28:12.800 --> 0:28:14.800 just make a couple more plays, just don't drop pass 0:28:14.840 --> 0:28:17.040 us If John Stevens isn't blocking all that well? Man, 0:28:17.080 --> 0:28:19.520 Let me come in there and block some special teams 0:28:19.600 --> 0:28:21.919 is very important for that section of the roster. Go 0:28:21.920 --> 0:28:24.560 out there and tackle somebody, and I think that's the 0:28:24.600 --> 0:28:27.480 air quote easiest route. There's no easy route to this thing. 0:28:27.480 --> 0:28:29.440 Everybody's gonna have to fight for their life out there. 0:28:29.600 --> 0:28:32.880 But I think typically tight ends are kind of raised 0:28:33.000 --> 0:28:36.520 by four like Dak makes these guys you know, as 0:28:36.560 --> 0:28:38.480 good or as bad as who they are. So just 0:28:38.520 --> 0:28:41.520 imagine Fairweather go out there making plays, jumping over people. 0:28:41.760 --> 0:28:43.840 Dak's high point and he's jumping up and getting over people. 0:28:43.840 --> 0:28:45.720 Farewell's gonna have a great argument to. 0:28:45.720 --> 0:28:46.440 Make this team. 0:28:46.800 --> 0:28:48.920 It'll be a fun training camp for sure. Let's go 0:28:48.960 --> 0:28:51.240 ahead and take our final break, and when we come back, 0:28:51.280 --> 0:28:54.360 will continue discussing some of these position battles that we 0:28:54.360 --> 0:28:56.800 are expected to watch during training camp. 0:29:00.000 --> 0:29:01.840 If you can't be at the stadium, there's no better 0:29:01.840 --> 0:29:05.520 way to watch your Cowboys than on an lg Oldevo TV. 0:29:05.800 --> 0:29:07.000 That's because everything. 0:29:06.720 --> 0:29:09.800 You see is more lifelike, every play, every hit, I mean, 0:29:09.840 --> 0:29:12.040 you might just will be on the sidelines. 0:29:11.520 --> 0:29:12.680 That's how clear it is. 0:29:12.960 --> 0:29:17.440 It's all thanks to LG's legendary technology, perfect black over 0:29:17.480 --> 0:29:20.800 eight point three million self lit pixels, no one comes close. 0:29:21.200 --> 0:29:24.520 Lgoled Evo is the best TV in the game for 0:29:24.600 --> 0:29:28.520 a reason.

They're 0:31:43.840 --> 0:31:44.440 on this list. 0:31:46.280 --> 0:31:47.000 Alright, guys. 0:31:47.200 --> 0:31:52.120 Next question for y'all, which position battle should fans watch 0:31:52.440 --> 0:31:53.480 most closely? 0:31:53.840 --> 0:31:54.479 In camp? 0:31:55.160 --> 0:31:59.840 Corner, running back or swim tackle which would already? 0:32:01.040 --> 0:32:04.840 So let me ask you this, how are you wording battle? 0:32:05.120 --> 0:32:06.800 For example, this is what I've been talking about, right, 0:32:06.960 --> 0:32:08.760 If Tyler Booker is in a battle, do you mean 0:32:08.800 --> 0:32:10.960 the Booker of the battle that he's having with Hoffman 0:32:11.320 --> 0:32:13.760 or the battle that he's having with Masi or something 0:32:13.800 --> 0:32:17.360 like like? Which like which battle we're talking about? You 0:32:17.360 --> 0:32:18.040 won't think about it. 0:32:18.360 --> 0:32:27.880 You're going to the script to me, Okay, I No, 0:32:28.120 --> 0:32:31.960 I'm thinking in general, because I'm thinking, Okay, is anybody 0:32:33.080 --> 0:32:36.840 actually set one hundred percent? Even when you look at 0:32:36.840 --> 0:32:40.840 Corner for example, sure. 0:32:39.720 --> 0:32:43.520 No, no, even though he's a starter, right. 0:32:43.120 --> 0:32:46.320 So it's still like I think all of these positions 0:32:46.360 --> 0:32:48.080 have question marks around them. 0:32:48.280 --> 0:32:48.480 Yeah. 0:32:49.120 --> 0:32:51.400 Well, if that's the case, Corner is definitely the room 0:32:51.480 --> 0:32:54.600 that's that's fighting the most. We have a room full 0:32:54.600 --> 0:32:55.360 of outside guys. 0:32:55.400 --> 0:32:58.400 We don't really have a whole person Butler. 0:32:58.120 --> 0:33:01.080 You know, so so you know, and and everybody's knee 0:33:01.080 --> 0:33:03.400 is hurting. So not only are they, you know, fighting 0:33:03.400 --> 0:33:05.240 to be better, but they fighting and get healthy first. 0:33:05.720 --> 0:33:07.840 So that's that's gonna be kind of an issue there. 0:33:08.440 --> 0:33:11.280 Besides that, I mean, I don't really have a good 0:33:11.400 --> 0:33:14.480 idea of who your first three corners are, Like, yeah, 0:33:14.520 --> 0:33:17.200 they're fighting for their spot, but who are those guys 0:33:17.240 --> 0:33:18.760 going to be? Because I don't even know when the 0:33:19.000 --> 0:33:21.760 like even even Revel, right, Revel may be cleared and 0:33:21.800 --> 0:33:23.360 good to go, but is he going to be the 0:33:23.400 --> 0:33:25.239 Revel that we watched on film last year? 0:33:25.280 --> 0:33:25.720 Bryan? 0:33:26.040 --> 0:33:29.000 So it trust. 0:33:30.680 --> 0:33:32.800 Durron, Bland and Elam are are probably. 0:33:32.480 --> 0:33:35.560 The contract year for him, right for sure? 0:33:35.960 --> 0:33:36.320 For sure? 0:33:36.400 --> 0:33:40.719 So Bland, Elam and Kayln Carson. If Bland is your 0:33:40.760 --> 0:33:42.400 best guy, do you just throw him in the nickel? 0:33:42.480 --> 0:33:42.680 You know? 0:33:43.000 --> 0:33:45.840 If Bland is cornerback one, does he travel and then 0:33:45.880 --> 0:33:47.520 you kind of move those other guys around. I think 0:33:47.560 --> 0:33:49.880 it's a weird little a weird little battle. 0:33:49.640 --> 0:33:50.320 With a corner. 0:33:50.640 --> 0:33:50.880 Yeah. 0:33:50.920 --> 0:33:52.920 Butler's too, I think I think you have to include 0:33:53.000 --> 0:33:54.280 Josh Butler in that group too. 0:33:54.440 --> 0:33:55.640 Is he healthy? What is he going to back? 0:33:56.120 --> 0:33:57.280 I think he's he's healthy. 0:33:57.320 --> 0:33:58.920 I think that to me, Like I say, he'll be 0:33:58.960 --> 0:34:00.640 a part of the part of the I need to 0:34:00.680 --> 0:34:03.120 I do need to check on him. I'm interested to 0:34:03.120 --> 0:34:04.040 see what's going to happen. 0:34:04.080 --> 0:34:08.120 It's safety And I say that in a in a way. 0:34:07.920 --> 0:34:14.920 Of because the previous regime man really really liked Wilson 0:34:14.960 --> 0:34:20.520 and Hooker, and so now where does this regime stand 0:34:20.600 --> 0:34:23.920 when it comes to Thomas and Butler? 0:34:24.560 --> 0:34:24.719 You know? 0:34:24.760 --> 0:34:27.120 And a guy that I almost mentioned is a rookie 0:34:27.239 --> 0:34:31.640 ambar that maybe a guy that Elijah Clark, you know, 0:34:31.680 --> 0:34:35.080 the safety from Syracuse. He was a guy that when 0:34:35.080 --> 0:34:37.840 if you watch him play and if you if you 0:34:38.040 --> 0:34:43.600 just go on, how much signing bonus the Cowboys gave 0:34:44.440 --> 0:34:49.000 to these undrafted rookies, he was a top dog. And 0:34:49.160 --> 0:34:51.560 last you saw last year where span Ford was, he 0:34:51.719 --> 0:34:54.799 was the top dog. So they think enough of this kid. 0:34:54.880 --> 0:34:58.520 My gut feeling is this guy probably sat Clark sat 0:34:58.560 --> 0:34:59.959 pretty high on their draft board. 0:35:00.280 --> 0:35:00.480 Yeah. 0:35:00.840 --> 0:35:04.240 So if that's the case, sat high on draft board, 0:35:04.680 --> 0:35:10.319 he got a sizable bonus. Is he competing with Is 0:35:10.360 --> 0:35:13.080 he trying to knock Thomas out? Who got money? Is 0:35:13.080 --> 0:35:15.640 he trying to knock Bell out? Who got money? Are 0:35:15.640 --> 0:35:18.360 they trying to knock Wilson out? Who would be cap 0:35:18.480 --> 0:35:20.719 savings if you knock him out? 0:35:21.239 --> 0:35:22.200 You know that's important. 0:35:22.320 --> 0:35:26.080 So yeah, I always you know, Mickey would always say 0:35:26.120 --> 0:35:26.960 follow the money. 0:35:27.200 --> 0:35:29.200 In this case, you might follow the money. 0:35:29.200 --> 0:35:32.400 But but I think there's going to be some legitimate 0:35:32.480 --> 0:35:37.000 competition at the safety spot depending on how guys. I 0:35:37.040 --> 0:35:38.960 don't think it's I don't think you could put it 0:35:39.000 --> 0:35:43.120 in pen that Wilson and Hooker are going to be 0:35:43.200 --> 0:35:46.080 the starters when you open on Thursday night in Philadelphia. 0:35:46.400 --> 0:35:47.000 Brian Bros. 0:35:47.040 --> 0:35:49.520 Do you think does Brian brod Us think that if 0:35:49.600 --> 0:35:53.600 Mark He's Bell outplays Donovan Wilson? 0:35:53.640 --> 0:35:55.399 I would hope he, I would hope. 0:35:55.400 --> 0:35:56.480 What does Brian Bros Think? 0:35:57.239 --> 0:36:01.479 Because no, No, hope is hope is terrible plan. Hope 0:36:01.560 --> 0:36:07.520 is a terrible plan. A lot of hope. 0:36:07.920 --> 0:36:11.000 If Mark he's Bell, goes out there, tears it up, 0:36:11.360 --> 0:36:15.239 whoops it. Yes, he's covering better. Sure does he get 0:36:15.280 --> 0:36:16.000 the toms? 0:36:16.120 --> 0:36:16.359 Sure? 0:36:16.560 --> 0:36:20.760 Sure, absolutely, I'll say it because I I do believe. 0:36:21.600 --> 0:36:27.160 I do believe that Thomas Bell, Clark Clark being new. 0:36:28.000 --> 0:36:30.279 I think it's there's a fresh approach now. 0:36:30.560 --> 0:36:33.520 I talked to Mike Zimmer for a long time before, 0:36:34.040 --> 0:36:36.000 you know, before training camp and when we're out there 0:36:36.000 --> 0:36:39.239 in ox Start, and he was talking about he was saying. 0:36:39.000 --> 0:36:41.400 You know, I really like Wilson, I really like you 0:36:41.400 --> 0:36:41.960 know Hooker. 0:36:42.040 --> 0:36:43.800 I'm like, okay, And I said, well, I need to 0:36:43.880 --> 0:36:46.520 keep my down mouth shut because I was always trying 0:36:46.520 --> 0:36:49.560 to replace Hooker, you know. And then so but I 0:36:49.920 --> 0:36:53.759 just kind of feel like Bell and Thomas have to 0:36:53.920 --> 0:36:56.839 feel like they caught a break here with a new 0:36:56.960 --> 0:36:59.840 new coaching staff, especially new coaches in the secondary. 0:37:00.080 --> 0:37:02.000 There was a lot of times last year or a 0:37:02.080 --> 0:37:05.920 year before where we'll be having trouble from a coverage 0:37:06.080 --> 0:37:08.640 you know, and you and you play safety like coverage 0:37:08.640 --> 0:37:11.600 is what you do. And Cowboy Nation, Cowboy fans were 0:37:11.640 --> 0:37:13.719 just sitting around tapping a watch, going, man, when are 0:37:13.760 --> 0:37:15.800 we gonna try something different? 0:37:15.920 --> 0:37:18.440 Oh? No, it hadn't always been that way. Yeah. 0:37:18.480 --> 0:37:21.640 I took an ass kicking from fans about Hooker and 0:37:21.680 --> 0:37:22.920 then he got extended and. 0:37:22.960 --> 0:37:25.400 Like, oh see what you think, bro? You know, and 0:37:25.440 --> 0:37:28.560 then then then we get the well he's not playing 0:37:28.800 --> 0:37:31.320 very well right now, you know, And I'm like, okay, 0:37:31.440 --> 0:37:32.840 tell him you was right brow, No, I'm not. 0:37:33.280 --> 0:37:36.759 That's not the idea is. The idea is though, that 0:37:36.880 --> 0:37:38.799 you try and get ahead of that, you try and 0:37:38.800 --> 0:37:41.239 get ahead of paying a guy, and then all of 0:37:41.280 --> 0:37:43.600 a sudden and it doesn't work out. You could say 0:37:43.600 --> 0:37:47.160 that right now about Wilson. It just hasn't worked out. 0:37:47.800 --> 0:37:50.520 Like you know, the Cowboys started with guy's super tough, 0:37:51.000 --> 0:37:52.120 he's super physical. 0:37:52.760 --> 0:37:54.719 But you know, you have to play with instincts. 0:37:54.760 --> 0:37:57.120 You have to be able to tackle well, and you 0:37:57.160 --> 0:37:59.480 can't make mistakes and if they put you in coverage, 0:37:59.480 --> 0:38:00.600 you can't get it exposed. 0:38:01.600 --> 0:38:02.480 These are things you. 0:38:02.520 --> 0:38:04.239 Have to kind of think about when you're when you're 0:38:04.239 --> 0:38:07.000 talking about safety play well, I hope they get a 0:38:07.000 --> 0:38:07.359 fair shake. 0:38:07.400 --> 0:38:09.040 Then, bro, what are people saying in the chat? 0:38:09.520 --> 0:38:12.280 Uh that that they're having that, they're having buffering issues. 0:38:12.280 --> 0:38:13.520 So y'all watch them. 0:38:13.760 --> 0:38:15.600 Get better equipment. Yeah, get better equipment. 0:38:15.640 --> 0:38:16.680 You have to watch the podcast. 0:38:16.680 --> 0:38:19.480 Oh we gotta pay for y'all salary here, ay me first, 0:38:19.719 --> 0:38:20.280 and then. 0:38:20.520 --> 0:38:23.640 Go and get you get you down white, go ahead, please? 0:38:24.280 --> 0:38:24.640 All right? 0:38:25.320 --> 0:38:30.080 You mentioned MICHAEH. Parsons earlier and about moving him around 0:38:30.120 --> 0:38:33.400 a lot. Is it smarter to keep him full time 0:38:33.800 --> 0:38:37.120 rushing or moving him around like a chess piece. 0:38:37.800 --> 0:38:40.480 Well, we've been fighting this fight since we found out 0:38:40.520 --> 0:38:44.560 that Micah can can pass rush, you know. And uh, 0:38:44.600 --> 0:38:48.719 some coaches will tell you the coaching philosophical reasons why 0:38:48.760 --> 0:38:51.799 you shouldn't move him around. And then we'll play Cleveland 0:38:51.840 --> 0:38:54.920 and Miles Garrett is just stepping walking over your center 0:38:55.120 --> 0:38:57.239 and you go, damn boy, showed be nice and we 0:38:57.320 --> 0:38:58.839 can do some of that now. 0:38:58.960 --> 0:38:59.200 T J. 0:38:59.320 --> 0:39:01.799 Watt doesn't move. He plays on his side. But when 0:39:01.800 --> 0:39:05.399 you see Miles Garrett just floating around, you just get jealous. Right, So, 0:39:05.719 --> 0:39:07.759 I think when Michael got most of his sacks, it 0:39:07.800 --> 0:39:09.640 was him hovering over a gap and b gap. That's 0:39:09.640 --> 0:39:12.680 when he really got got busy. Something we called on YouTube, 0:39:12.880 --> 0:39:13.640 find the scrubs. 0:39:13.680 --> 0:39:14.400 What we call it right. 0:39:14.800 --> 0:39:14.880 Uh. 0:39:15.239 --> 0:39:17.160 And something that will bother me is we'll go play 0:39:17.160 --> 0:39:20.400 the Giants and we'll just line michaeh over Andrew Thomas 0:39:20.480 --> 0:39:23.200 all pro Andrew Thomas the whole game. It'll make me sick. 0:39:23.239 --> 0:39:25.879 And look, Michael got sacks on Andrew Thomas. But boy, 0:39:25.920 --> 0:39:27.879 imagine how many sacks you can get on John Michael 0:39:27.880 --> 0:39:29.880 Smith if you just line them up over there. So 0:39:30.000 --> 0:39:32.000 I do think you have to think about the the 0:39:32.000 --> 0:39:35.320 the you know, base of your defense being you know solid, 0:39:35.320 --> 0:39:36.839 and we're not gonna move him so much that he's 0:39:36.840 --> 0:39:39.000 getting washed out of these plays. But it just gives 0:39:39.040 --> 0:39:41.759 the other side one more, one more thing to think 0:39:41.800 --> 0:39:44.160 about if Micah's all over the places as opposed to 0:39:44.320 --> 0:39:45.000 I don't have to look. 0:39:45.000 --> 0:39:46.439 I just know he's right there. 0:39:46.560 --> 0:39:49.240 Yeah, why don't you find a way? And this is choice. 0:39:49.239 --> 0:39:50.880 I used to say this, you know what, what's coaching? 0:39:51.080 --> 0:39:52.040 What's what's coaching? 0:39:52.160 --> 0:39:54.440 Wait? Paid these guys, we wait what's coaching for? See? 0:39:54.440 --> 0:39:57.080 To me, this is where to me moving Mike around 0:39:57.120 --> 0:40:01.319 and even pairing finding him not I agree with wauch about, hey, 0:40:01.480 --> 0:40:04.840 find the weakest link on that offensive line and just 0:40:04.920 --> 0:40:06.719 let it try, but try and do your best to 0:40:06.760 --> 0:40:08.920 set it up where it's one on one where that 0:40:09.000 --> 0:40:12.320 weak link can't get help. You know, you move him around, 0:40:12.520 --> 0:40:15.760 but also pair him with other guys that can pass rush. 0:40:16.200 --> 0:40:19.840 There's nothing wrong with putting him with Osa and you 0:40:19.920 --> 0:40:22.880 get a pick and a twist. There's nothing wrong with 0:40:22.920 --> 0:40:25.719 putting him on the same side with Fouler and making 0:40:25.760 --> 0:40:28.120 them have to deal with two guys. You know, all 0:40:28.120 --> 0:40:30.719 of a sudden, Wow, they've got two legitimate rushers on 0:40:30.760 --> 0:40:33.680 the outside here. There's nothing wrong with standing him up 0:40:33.680 --> 0:40:35.440 and letting him run right through the B gap and 0:40:35.480 --> 0:40:38.000 making a back and if they know a team is 0:40:38.040 --> 0:40:40.680 going to be very reliant on a running back with 0:40:40.760 --> 0:40:43.719 Blitz pickup help and putting Mike on that back and 0:40:43.760 --> 0:40:45.200 getting that one on one matchup. 0:40:45.320 --> 0:40:47.480 It might happen one or twice, one. 0:40:47.400 --> 0:40:49.920 Or two times a game, but maybe it's one or 0:40:49.960 --> 0:40:51.879 two sacks you get in a game, and maybe that's 0:40:51.880 --> 0:40:55.040 the difference in the game. So yes, move him around, 0:40:55.520 --> 0:40:59.760 find favorable matchups, but also pair him with other linemen 0:41:00.160 --> 0:41:03.359 that can that can cause problems and make teams have 0:41:03.440 --> 0:41:06.440 to deal with blocking two guys to the same side. 0:41:06.480 --> 0:41:08.439 Well, Brian Brosley Man ask you is is this the 0:41:08.440 --> 0:41:10.800 first time Mica has had like a real running mate 0:41:10.840 --> 0:41:13.839 from from a past rush standpoint, right, like like tank 0:41:13.960 --> 0:41:14.879 Tank Lawrence. 0:41:14.640 --> 0:41:16.600 Hank started going down. 0:41:16.920 --> 0:41:20.680 He's always been a great rundown, but he's never been 0:41:21.280 --> 0:41:23.320 It's been a long time, a long time since double 0:41:23.320 --> 0:41:25.880 digit sack is double digit sack. Michael hasn't had a 0:41:25.920 --> 0:41:29.520 double digit sack running mate. Well, we got Dante foul 0:41:29.600 --> 0:41:31.640 who's a double digit sack guy. Now, you know, Donovan 0:41:31.719 --> 0:41:33.080 is gonna be a help. He's a ricket. We can't 0:41:33.120 --> 0:41:35.440 expect too much out of him, and you know, also 0:41:35.480 --> 0:41:37.160 we'll just hope that we can get some good pass 0:41:37.200 --> 0:41:40.400 rush from him from b gap, Is is this the 0:41:40.440 --> 0:41:43.520 best crew of past rush running mates maybe not run 0:41:43.560 --> 0:41:46.439 stopping but pass rush running mates that Michaels has since 0:41:46.440 --> 0:41:46.879 he been here? 0:41:48.440 --> 0:41:49.239 Kind of feel like. 0:41:49.960 --> 0:41:53.200 I know, thanks, don't hurt yourself, buddy. 0:41:54.680 --> 0:41:58.320 Oh he does that all the time. I didn't. 0:41:58.360 --> 0:42:00.440 I didn't even say because when you say, oh, that's 0:42:00.440 --> 0:42:05.000 a great question, you're installing to try and figure things something. 0:42:04.120 --> 0:42:05.520 To influence his opinion. 0:42:05.840 --> 0:42:07.640 Yeah, I just want to know what thought. I just 0:42:07.680 --> 0:42:09.279 thought it was a genuinely good question, and both of 0:42:09.280 --> 0:42:09.600 you guys. 0:42:09.640 --> 0:42:10.120 What about that? 0:42:10.200 --> 0:42:13.800 What about some of his sixteen sack seasons? Though when 0:42:13.880 --> 0:42:17.120 it was Fowler and Parts, Yeah it was. 0:42:17.160 --> 0:42:20.080 It was more so a bunch of guys like Michael 0:42:20.120 --> 0:42:21.000 would get his sex. 0:42:21.040 --> 0:42:22.840 But but they didn't. You didn't, You didn't. 0:42:22.880 --> 0:42:26.120 You didn't think of Darence Armstrong as a sack guy. 0:42:26.320 --> 0:42:29.080 You didn't think as a sack guy. You got sack guys. 0:42:29.120 --> 0:42:32.200 Now that's asking is this his best group of set guy? 0:42:32.200 --> 0:42:34.000 I don't know what the run defense is gonna look like. 0:42:34.040 --> 0:42:36.239 I hope eber Flu's got some magic. Does he can 0:42:36.280 --> 0:42:38.000 just spring along everybody and just run game? 0:42:38.160 --> 0:42:40.160 Just I think I think that dealt with I think 0:42:40.200 --> 0:42:42.080 that's gonna come down Overshown was going to be a 0:42:42.080 --> 0:42:43.040 pass rusher for see that. 0:42:43.080 --> 0:42:45.239 Apparently Shamar James is gonna be a pass ords. Is 0:42:45.280 --> 0:42:46.479 this the best group of past? 0:42:46.800 --> 0:42:49.000 See that's the thing with Tjamar James that we saw 0:42:49.120 --> 0:42:51.560 at at Florida. We were worried about. And we're not 0:42:51.560 --> 0:42:54.000 getting to see every single practice. You know, once a 0:42:54.040 --> 0:42:55.799 week you get to see a practice. Maybe the other 0:42:55.840 --> 0:42:58.520 practices he's messing up things. But it sounds like to 0:42:58.560 --> 0:43:01.120 me he didn't play with a lot of instincts at Florida. 0:43:01.560 --> 0:43:03.520 So what you say, put them as a will linebacker, 0:43:03.600 --> 0:43:05.920 let them rush, So maybe that's something. 0:43:05.600 --> 0:43:06.319 That you need to do. 0:43:06.719 --> 0:43:09.920 I think overall, if you look at potentially with Osa 0:43:10.640 --> 0:43:14.239 being a pass rusher Parsons, as we've mentioned, I think 0:43:14.280 --> 0:43:18.040 that even you know, I think that it's kind of 0:43:18.760 --> 0:43:21.320 we'll see, you know, with the Fowlers obviously going to 0:43:21.360 --> 0:43:24.040 give you give you some stuff there. I don't know 0:43:24.080 --> 0:43:26.000 if it's the best group he's played with. 0:43:26.680 --> 0:43:26.880 You know. 0:43:26.920 --> 0:43:31.399 What the difference is, I think is that going into it, 0:43:31.760 --> 0:43:36.120 you you in your mind kind of know what to 0:43:36.239 --> 0:43:39.840 expect based on their previous experience, as opposed to the 0:43:39.920 --> 0:43:42.520 previous group. Not from last year, but like a couple 0:43:42.560 --> 0:43:46.000 of years before you didn't know what to expect, but 0:43:46.080 --> 0:43:48.800 then they were shining and make it happen. That's the difference. 0:43:48.880 --> 0:43:52.000 It's like one is you have guys that has shown 0:43:52.040 --> 0:43:54.400 it before versus the others that it just kind of 0:43:54.440 --> 0:43:56.520 happened without you necessarily respecting me. 0:43:56.600 --> 0:43:58.880 Doris Armstrong getting nine sex wasn't on anybody. 0:43:58.960 --> 0:44:03.120 Okay, see that's it. As Araco be that guy. I 0:44:03.160 --> 0:44:04.880 mean that that to me. 0:44:05.960 --> 0:44:08.239 If you want to ask me that question, and I'm 0:44:08.280 --> 0:44:12.520 thinking about Okay Faller as Roku, I'm thinking about these guys. 0:44:12.560 --> 0:44:13.759 I'm thinking but we don't know. 0:44:13.880 --> 0:44:16.799 I mean, we've seen him at the collegiate level have 0:44:17.000 --> 0:44:17.800 huge success. 0:44:18.400 --> 0:44:21.080 So now is Donovan as the third pass rusher and 0:44:21.120 --> 0:44:23.759 if you're let's say you're doubling Michael or Michael has 0:44:23.760 --> 0:44:26.400 some actual attention that now Donovan is Aroku gets the 0:44:26.440 --> 0:44:28.919 better looks, the better one on one looks. 0:44:28.960 --> 0:44:31.759 Yeah, if Eiraku could be a factor as a pass 0:44:31.880 --> 0:44:35.640 rusher with Fowler, maybe we'll see with Sam Williams how 0:44:35.640 --> 0:44:38.200 that all plays out and stuff like that. But you know, 0:44:38.320 --> 0:44:41.360 if you if if Israku then shows up, like you know, 0:44:41.400 --> 0:44:44.680 we think that he all might, then I would say, yeah, 0:44:44.800 --> 0:44:47.439 but we'll have to see Ezerako be that guy. 0:44:47.640 --> 0:44:49.160 One last point too, is I know Ambarre ready to 0:44:49.160 --> 0:44:51.520 get up out of here. One last point is I'm 0:44:51.560 --> 0:44:55.680 a person if this offense scores the way that it 0:44:55.880 --> 0:44:58.440 that it should and the defense against so many more 0:44:58.480 --> 0:44:59.200 opportunities to. 0:44:59.600 --> 0:45:02.040 That's that's yeah, that's the key. You You've got to 0:45:02.080 --> 0:45:05.880 find a way that you can't be in. I didn't 0:45:05.920 --> 0:45:06.560 want to say that. 0:45:09.239 --> 0:45:11.000 What else is there to say? 0:45:10.760 --> 0:45:15.200 That you think you think you know long reach bottom. 0:45:17.040 --> 0:45:18.680 You're gonna have to ice dot arm. 0:45:20.239 --> 0:45:20.800 Appreciate that. 0:45:21.600 --> 0:45:25.759 Please well, thank you guys so much, Thank you watch. 0:45:26.239 --> 0:45:29.759 Thank you Brian for always having a lovely energy.
