Got college next weekend, and then Thursday 27 00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:41,600 Speaker 1: following that the NFL. We'll kick off. Let's start first 28 00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:47,039 Speaker 1: with the biggest news at the Star. Yesterday, Dak Prescott 29 00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:50,960 Speaker 1: returned to practice in a meaningful way. Tell me how 30 00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:52,880 Speaker 1: much did he do and what do you think of 31 00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:56,279 Speaker 1: what he did yesterday? Dak Prescott said, f you're seven 32 00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:59,680 Speaker 1: on seven. I want the whole thing. Let's go. I 33 00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:02,560 Speaker 1: mean that was that caught me by surprise, obviously, Like 34 00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:04,960 Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy was like, yeah, Dak's gonna do seven on seven, 35 00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:07,560 Speaker 1: and then he did team He's like, nah, I'm just 36 00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:09,440 Speaker 1: gonna jump right. If I got a pitch, put it 37 00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:11,400 Speaker 1: into this, I guess. So yeah, he's like, come on, 38 00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:14,400 Speaker 1: let me get some real work. Um, and he looked 39 00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:16,840 Speaker 1: pretty good in my opinion. Yeah, that's the best part 40 00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:19,920 Speaker 1: is that you know how he looked. And also, I 41 00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:22,320 Speaker 1: guess we don't really know this today is the most 42 00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:25,040 Speaker 1: important part of that. How you feel. How you feeling today, 43 00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:26,960 Speaker 1: you gotta go back and do it and do it again. 44 00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:29,560 Speaker 1: Of course, you know, football is a seven week you know, 45 00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:32,200 Speaker 1: I mean seven days you know between each games most 46 00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:34,040 Speaker 1: of the time, so you do have a chance to 47 00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:36,840 Speaker 1: most of the time you have a chance to you know, 48 00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:40,440 Speaker 1: to to you know, get back. That's why pitchers only 49 00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:42,880 Speaker 1: in throw on a you know, once every four days, 50 00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:45,399 Speaker 1: the starting pitcher. So um, you know, even if he's 51 00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:48,120 Speaker 1: feeling a little bit sore, I mean, that's not too alarming. 52 00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:49,840 Speaker 1: I just wonder how he does feel, if there was 53 00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:52,760 Speaker 1: any setback. But he looked great yesterday. He looked really good. 54 00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:56,440 Speaker 1: He was I mean, he was making he was making 55 00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:58,680 Speaker 1: the throws you gotta make to play football, and I 56 00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:00,840 Speaker 1: mean it looked like there was good velocity on him. 57 00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:04,400 Speaker 1: You know, he wasn't throwing hail Mary balls, but how 58 00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:06,880 Speaker 1: often do you really do that anyway, So he had 59 00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:09,720 Speaker 1: a couple of thirty yard throws and some nice completions. 60 00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:11,800 Speaker 1: I think he went eleven of twelve on the day. 61 00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:15,720 Speaker 1: Pretty impressive. Yeah, I think that what I'm looking forward 62 00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:17,919 Speaker 1: to and I know it's two weeks away, but when 63 00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:21,519 Speaker 1: go to Tampa, I'm looking forward and it could be 64 00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:25,200 Speaker 1: a first quarter, could be second quarter, but there's gonna 65 00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:28,120 Speaker 1: be that moment, that third and six, third and seven 66 00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:32,800 Speaker 1: where the best play is when it opens up and 67 00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:35,400 Speaker 1: he's got to go, gotta go take off and you 68 00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:38,600 Speaker 1: get fourteen yards, twelve yards, whatever you slide, you die, 69 00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:41,480 Speaker 1: whatever you do that you get up and you like it. 70 00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:44,880 Speaker 1: That's because that is that Dac has to That's the 71 00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:47,640 Speaker 1: Dack that's gonna help his team win. It's just the 72 00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:50,120 Speaker 1: threat of being able to run, because then he can 73 00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:51,800 Speaker 1: throw and do all those things. He's got to do it. 74 00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:54,480 Speaker 1: He's gonna have to make that first second time get up. 75 00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:57,640 Speaker 1: You know, I'm still a running quarterback. I can still 76 00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:00,800 Speaker 1: do that. I think once that happens, I think that 77 00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:03,600 Speaker 1: I think they can take off. And that's what That's 78 00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:05,840 Speaker 1: what we were talking about last week, and Blake Jarwin 79 00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:08,120 Speaker 1: was asked about that as well, because you know, the 80 00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:11,240 Speaker 1: Houston game was his first preseason game and they kind 81 00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:13,040 Speaker 1: of you know, he caught his first pass over the 82 00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:15,640 Speaker 1: middle of his first contact since he tore his ACL 83 00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:17,919 Speaker 1: and he was like, yeah, it's just it's big to 84 00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:20,279 Speaker 1: take that hit and you know, go down to the 85 00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:22,200 Speaker 1: ground and flip around and all that stuff and get 86 00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:24,240 Speaker 1: up and you're like, oh, I still I still feel fine, 87 00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:26,520 Speaker 1: Still feel one hundred percent. I'm ready to play football. 88 00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:29,760 Speaker 1: And like, I don't think Dak's rusty, but I would 89 00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:31,640 Speaker 1: have liked for him to get that out of the 90 00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:34,479 Speaker 1: way in the preseason. But it's it's gonna be his 91 00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:37,039 Speaker 1: Days of Thunder moment. If you've ever seen that movie 92 00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:39,520 Speaker 1: where he gets in a big wreck and then he 93 00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:41,480 Speaker 1: he doesn't know if he's got the confidence, he comes 94 00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:44,039 Speaker 1: back and races again, he's got the smoke. He's got 95 00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:45,960 Speaker 1: to drive one where he thought he was on fire. 96 00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:49,200 Speaker 1: That's ricky, Bobby. Yeah, okay, he's got to drive through it. 97 00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:52,320 Speaker 1: And I know you can do it through it, and yeah, yeah, 98 00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:55,720 Speaker 1: it's not it's not the same. I haven't seen Days 99 00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:57,600 Speaker 1: of Thunder, but I get what you're since. The same 100 00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:00,680 Speaker 1: thing is rickey, Bobby. You got to get back on 101 00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:03,480 Speaker 1: the horse and you're choking. You know, you gotta go 102 00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:05,280 Speaker 1: back and you gotta eat again. You know, you gotta 103 00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:07,400 Speaker 1: know that you will tell that story a little bit later. 104 00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:09,240 Speaker 1: Because the fans shit here. But we'll get to that. 105 00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:12,440 Speaker 1: Maybe another show, good, another show, you know. Knowing Dak Prescott, 106 00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:15,320 Speaker 1: I actually think that that moment for him is gonna 107 00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:18,680 Speaker 1: be way more. It's gonna be way scarier for everybody 108 00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:20,560 Speaker 1: watching than it will be for him. Yeah. I think 109 00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:22,800 Speaker 1: for him it's just gonna be I'm playing football. I 110 00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:24,440 Speaker 1: think that's one of the things he's been talking about, 111 00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:26,800 Speaker 1: like he is trying to divorce himself from the whole 112 00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:29,880 Speaker 1: idea of talking about it, thinking about the leg injury, 113 00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:33,000 Speaker 1: and for him, it's done, it's over, I'm moving forward. 114 00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:35,400 Speaker 1: So I don't think that will be a consideration for him. Wow, 115 00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:38,120 Speaker 1: you just made me realize something. This maybe this was 116 00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:40,719 Speaker 1: all a genius play to get people that will stop 117 00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:43,120 Speaker 1: talking about his ankle thing too. I was like, that's 118 00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:45,040 Speaker 1: how you do it. You get another in the first 119 00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:47,279 Speaker 1: time that this is the first time we've talked about 120 00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:50,120 Speaker 1: his ankle in a month, I know. So yeah, maybe 121 00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:53,840 Speaker 1: I mean it's not because there's not Somebody asked us 122 00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:56,120 Speaker 1: that in the mailbag this week, is like could this 123 00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:58,359 Speaker 1: be gamesmanship on the part of the Cowboys? And I 124 00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:00,480 Speaker 1: was like, game like taking your quarter back out of 125 00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:02,560 Speaker 1: practice for a month is not Gamesman show that like 126 00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:04,800 Speaker 1: nobody would do that. I'll help us, doesn't help you, 127 00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:08,160 Speaker 1: But we're not talking about his ankle anymore. So that's nice. 128 00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:09,880 Speaker 1: All right, Let's move on. Let's talk a little bit 129 00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:13,479 Speaker 1: about an ir move for the Cowboys and for a 130 00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:16,039 Speaker 1: lot of people. For you know, when you see this 131 00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:19,520 Speaker 1: on other teams, you'd think third string running back goes die? 132 00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:21,880 Speaker 1: Are you thing? Yes, not really a big deal And 133 00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:23,240 Speaker 1: I don't know that it's a big deal here, but 134 00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:25,599 Speaker 1: it certainly is noteworthy because Rico Dowdo is a guy 135 00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:27,880 Speaker 1: that I think has had a good camp and I 136 00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:30,080 Speaker 1: think he's a pretty good player for a third running 137 00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:31,760 Speaker 1: back and a special teams player. What do you guys 138 00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:34,640 Speaker 1: think about him now? Going I are exactly what you 139 00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:37,240 Speaker 1: just said. It sucks for him. He's he's got juice, 140 00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:39,320 Speaker 1: like he just he looks good with the ball in 141 00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:42,560 Speaker 1: his hands. He's got burst. Um had made the team 142 00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:45,680 Speaker 1: as an undrafted rookie, which is always impressive. Was there 143 00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:47,960 Speaker 1: was no doubt he was gonna make it this year 144 00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:50,479 Speaker 1: as well, and so it just sucks for him. Yeah, 145 00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:53,000 Speaker 1: I doubt his role would have been huge, probably special 146 00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:56,200 Speaker 1: teams and you know, maybe you don't have to, you 147 00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:58,120 Speaker 1: don't have to see him play running back. Yeah, but 148 00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:01,400 Speaker 1: he deserved to be on this team. He looked really good. 149 00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:05,320 Speaker 1: It sucks for him, and now I just mainly wonder, like, 150 00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:09,400 Speaker 1: do you even carry a third running back? Honestly, I 151 00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:11,920 Speaker 1: think that's a conversation worth having. Yeah, let's talk about that, 152 00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:15,040 Speaker 1: like because you would think about it, Like, like you said, 153 00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:17,800 Speaker 1: his role would not be playing running back very often 154 00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:21,680 Speaker 1: unless there were an injury in game. Most times, he's 155 00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:23,600 Speaker 1: just going to be a special teams guy. Do you 156 00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:25,360 Speaker 1: think you could go into a season with only two 157 00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:27,880 Speaker 1: running backs on the roster active roster. They've done it before. 158 00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:30,600 Speaker 1: They definitely have during the time that I've been here 159 00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:34,200 Speaker 1: at least, and you can always sign and add guys 160 00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:36,800 Speaker 1: as the season goes along. But like the initial fifty three, 161 00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:39,120 Speaker 1: at least once has only had two running backs. I 162 00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:42,760 Speaker 1: think it might have been Jason Garrett's last season. I 163 00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:45,360 Speaker 1: mean the most, the two most impressive depth running backs 164 00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:47,640 Speaker 1: on this team are now both on IR because Shiwo 165 00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:49,280 Speaker 1: I thought had a great shot to make the team 166 00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:52,840 Speaker 1: as well. You know, I think Sunday is a big 167 00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:55,640 Speaker 1: day for Jaquan Hardy and Brendan Knox. Maybe they can 168 00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:59,200 Speaker 1: show you something. And I'll be honest, Nick, you if 169 00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:03,520 Speaker 1: you saw something, correct me, but I was so can. 170 00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:06,440 Speaker 1: I was just like, yeah, it's it's Zeke, Tony and Dabtle, 171 00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:08,480 Speaker 1: like I don't really even care what else happens here 172 00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:11,160 Speaker 1: or so I really I haven't been taking a close 173 00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:13,640 Speaker 1: look at these other running backs now. I mean, the 174 00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:16,560 Speaker 1: third running back is like your fifth and sixth receiver, 175 00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:18,720 Speaker 1: really your sixth receiver, Like, if you're going to keep him, 176 00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:21,120 Speaker 1: it's because other things that you can do, so you 177 00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:23,200 Speaker 1: don't just have to keep a third back. It was, 178 00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:25,800 Speaker 1: but in this case, Daddle could show you know it 179 00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:28,960 Speaker 1: could do some special teams plus you know, and I don't. 180 00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:31,800 Speaker 1: I'm sure Tony Pollard would get the start if something 181 00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:34,080 Speaker 1: would happen to Zeke for a game. But he's the 182 00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:37,559 Speaker 1: guy that most compliments what Zeke does. And so if 183 00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:40,800 Speaker 1: Pollard is going to have this unique role that could 184 00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:43,320 Speaker 1: still happen. It's we've seen it before where guys are 185 00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:45,960 Speaker 1: the backup on the depth chart, but he might get 186 00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:49,280 Speaker 1: leap frog and Dattle could be like the guy that 187 00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:51,199 Speaker 1: does a lot of Zeke things and you keep Pollard 188 00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:53,520 Speaker 1: in the same boat. That's why I was like, if 189 00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:55,920 Speaker 1: Daddle has a place here, I don't think any other 190 00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:58,120 Speaker 1: back can do that though. I don't think Knox. I 191 00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:01,600 Speaker 1: don't think Jaquan Hardy. He can barely see, you know. 192 00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:03,800 Speaker 1: I mean, so we got to get him out there, 193 00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:07,719 Speaker 1: and then you know, it'll be interesting. This game will 194 00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:09,840 Speaker 1: be interesting too for a guy like Nick Rolston. I know, 195 00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:13,120 Speaker 1: we'll talk about him later. You know, as a fullback guy, 196 00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:16,480 Speaker 1: he's carried the ball, you know, he told me the 197 00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:18,080 Speaker 1: other day. I've carried it in high school. I mean, 198 00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:19,880 Speaker 1: I think a lot of guys carried it in high school. 199 00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:22,480 Speaker 1: That doesn't necessarily mean they're ready for the NFL, but 200 00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:24,320 Speaker 1: but I mean you can do a lot of different 201 00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:26,959 Speaker 1: things with it. So maybe he's got a shot to 202 00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:30,000 Speaker 1: get on this fifty three as a special teams guy 203 00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:36,320 Speaker 1: slash fullback slash emergency runner. Maybe I just I just 204 00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:38,760 Speaker 1: think of it in terms of, like you know, people 205 00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:41,320 Speaker 1: love to stress at this time of year about like, oh, 206 00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:44,080 Speaker 1: we can't we can't release him, or he'll get claimed. 207 00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:48,400 Speaker 1: All of those guys will, you know, Hardy knocks. I'll 208 00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:52,240 Speaker 1: throw in Nick Ralston most of if not all those 209 00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:54,680 Speaker 1: guys will clear waivers. You put him on your practice squad, 210 00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:57,920 Speaker 1: and if you add him as you see fit, if 211 00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:00,160 Speaker 1: something happens to your other two, I wouldn't be rise 212 00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:02,000 Speaker 1: it all. If they just go with two, or if 213 00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:04,120 Speaker 1: they have a third, I could see it being a 214 00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:06,800 Speaker 1: guy that they claim because I'm just I'm not convinced 215 00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:09,800 Speaker 1: anybody left on this roster needs to be on it, 216 00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:12,600 Speaker 1: at least at the start. All right, Uh, let's go 217 00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:15,040 Speaker 1: on to a final topic of news and notes that 218 00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:18,400 Speaker 1: we need to get toys. COVID list has grown a 219 00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:21,480 Speaker 1: bit more. Who's now on it and uh, and then 220 00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:23,840 Speaker 1: we'll talk a little bit about how that might affect them. 221 00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:28,679 Speaker 1: Connor Williams and um uh Demante Casey. Wow, I'm kind 222 00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:31,360 Speaker 1: of blanked there for a second. Yeah, so it was 223 00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:35,400 Speaker 1: up to six. But Israel Mquamu is back. He's he 224 00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:41,120 Speaker 1: practiced yesterday. So that's and that's what happened to. Let 225 00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:43,320 Speaker 1: me just say, let me just say we verified that 226 00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:47,640 Speaker 1: this morning. It weren't wrong. You weren't wrong. No, I 227 00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:50,600 Speaker 1: was wrong. I was pronouncing it incorrectly. Now, I was 228 00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:53,560 Speaker 1: pronouncing it incorrectly because that's what I was given. But 229 00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:55,560 Speaker 1: I was still pronouncing incorrectly. You guys are right, it's 230 00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:59,319 Speaker 1: the pronunciation. The pronunciation sheet actually had the wrong. Yeah, 231 00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:01,160 Speaker 1: but it's it's it wasn't one. It was a little 232 00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:03,400 Speaker 1: awkward in the middle of the show yesterday, y'all were 233 00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:05,280 Speaker 1: talking about the same guy back and forth in two 234 00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:08,240 Speaker 1: different names. Right, I just wish and I was I 235 00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:10,800 Speaker 1: was dug in. I was not going to change the 236 00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:14,760 Speaker 1: behind the curtain job stuff here. Like, I mean, basically, 237 00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:17,360 Speaker 1: four people just screaming at each other about what's written 238 00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:20,400 Speaker 1: on a pronunciation guide yesterday in the office. Yeah, that's 239 00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:22,760 Speaker 1: the fun of what we do. Sure, because nobody as 240 00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:26,679 Speaker 1: an argument. But okay, But but if you're his family 241 00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:29,640 Speaker 1: and they are right, they're probably well number one. They're 242 00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:32,079 Speaker 1: probably like you guys are both pronouncing it wrong either way. 243 00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:35,199 Speaker 1: But true. But they but they're looking at like, Hey, 244 00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:37,600 Speaker 1: if he wasn't a good player, they wouldn't be talking 245 00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:42,240 Speaker 1: about it. You know. I think he didn't lua until 246 00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:44,199 Speaker 1: he really started playing well and had a good chance 247 00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:46,760 Speaker 1: to make the team. Oh kay, Daves, Like I knew 248 00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:49,320 Speaker 1: how well I I it's a pet peeve of mine. 249 00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:51,840 Speaker 1: I think like it learned the name. It's it's the 250 00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:53,960 Speaker 1: guy's name, and you know, the least you can do 251 00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:55,680 Speaker 1: is learn how to say it, so should at least try. 252 00:11:56,559 --> 00:11:59,920 Speaker 1: At least was what was the kicker's name? Lirium Hira Lahu. 253 00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:02,480 Speaker 1: There you go. Yeah, and he was here for I mean, 254 00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:05,160 Speaker 1: it was a quick I was. That was one where 255 00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:06,920 Speaker 1: I was like, if he's gonna be here all year, man, 256 00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:08,760 Speaker 1: I gotta get some work. I haven't really got to work. 257 00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:10,760 Speaker 1: You didn't even try. I tried, but I was like, 258 00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:12,640 Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to keep saying it over and over 259 00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:14,360 Speaker 1: and over again. You know, I don't know what does 260 00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:18,120 Speaker 1: that on the rundown about Zeroline? Um no, but but 261 00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:20,520 Speaker 1: I mean, just real quick about that Zeroline. You know, 262 00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:23,920 Speaker 1: he's just by cutting him the other kickers. Zerline will 263 00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:25,720 Speaker 1: be here. He's gonna kick in this game. And he 264 00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:28,160 Speaker 1: kind of said yesterday that you know, if he can 265 00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:30,600 Speaker 1: get a few reps, whether it be field goals or 266 00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:32,560 Speaker 1: extra points, he certainly will take him because he just 267 00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:35,079 Speaker 1: wants to get kind of ramped up everything Right now 268 00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:38,640 Speaker 1: when you look at this team is kind of working 269 00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:40,440 Speaker 1: out the way they told us. Because I was really 270 00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:42,800 Speaker 1: leary about all this, all the guys that were not 271 00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:44,640 Speaker 1: playing at the beginning of training camp, and I just 272 00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:47,000 Speaker 1: was looking at last year like I bought it last 273 00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:49,840 Speaker 1: year when y'all told me that that that you know 274 00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:52,880 Speaker 1: that Lyle was gonna be okay and a time was fine, 275 00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:55,520 Speaker 1: Like I bought all that last year and it didn't 276 00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:58,080 Speaker 1: pan out like that. So I was very leary this year. 277 00:12:58,200 --> 00:12:59,880 Speaker 1: But it seems like it's all working the way they 278 00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:03,840 Speaker 1: mildly shocking how much that they have hit the benchmarks 279 00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:06,040 Speaker 1: with all of these guys, like everyone that was an 280 00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:09,480 Speaker 1: injury concern at the start of camp. It's gone exactly 281 00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:12,240 Speaker 1: according to the plans that they said, which yeah, I mean, 282 00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:14,120 Speaker 1: it feels like that never really had. Well that also 283 00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:16,600 Speaker 1: tells you how much of a concern it really was. 284 00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:19,880 Speaker 1: It probably wasn't much of a concern. And let's be honest, 285 00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:23,040 Speaker 1: there's probably something going on right now to a player 286 00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:25,280 Speaker 1: that we don't really know much about. Good point, and 287 00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:28,520 Speaker 1: it always is, by the way, at two there's always 288 00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:31,720 Speaker 1: always the case there's there's something that somebody's worried about 289 00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:35,040 Speaker 1: and that's probably not COVID related, just some some elbow 290 00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:38,600 Speaker 1: back something here that you're like, man, we'll see that. Yeah, 291 00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:40,640 Speaker 1: that works out, you know, just kind of keep patching 292 00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:42,559 Speaker 1: it together and working on it. Hopefully it gets better, 293 00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:44,600 Speaker 1: but it's not going to probably get better throughout the size. 294 00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:46,959 Speaker 1: I didn't like Donovan Wilson leaving with a growing injury. 295 00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:51,320 Speaker 1: I mean, that's not that's not typically. Oh he's back today. 296 00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:54,679 Speaker 1: I mean, but he kind of chogged off the field, 297 00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:57,599 Speaker 1: didn't he. Yeah, I mean yeah, he jogged off to 298 00:13:57,640 --> 00:13:59,319 Speaker 1: the field. To the point, because of all the other 299 00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:01,800 Speaker 1: safeties that are in the COVID protocol, there was some 300 00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:04,199 Speaker 1: thought that is that what happened here because he did 301 00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:06,960 Speaker 1: kind of get off the field sort of quickly. So 302 00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:09,400 Speaker 1: if it is a growing injury and he jogged off 303 00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:12,600 Speaker 1: the field, it may not be that bad. Maybe. Yeah. 304 00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:14,720 Speaker 1: I look at this safety position and I'm like, that's 305 00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:16,959 Speaker 1: that's a position where I think they got a little 306 00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:18,400 Speaker 1: depth right now. I don't know if I can even 307 00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:21,320 Speaker 1: say that a little bit right in past years, right, 308 00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:26,880 Speaker 1: I mean, oh, first in general to the seasons, yeah, 309 00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:29,000 Speaker 1: not at this current I'm saying, like going into the season, Yeah, 310 00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:32,200 Speaker 1: I actually look at that position, I'm like, surprisingly, I 311 00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:35,480 Speaker 1: feel okay about safety. Not great because I don't think 312 00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:38,000 Speaker 1: they have a great player on safety, but I think 313 00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:41,040 Speaker 1: they got a lot of players at are solid, right, Yeah, 314 00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:43,240 Speaker 1: and that's better than they've had in quite a while, 315 00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:46,120 Speaker 1: I think. Yeah, And because of what's happening now, they 316 00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:51,320 Speaker 1: should be fine for you know, for the season. What 317 00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:53,640 Speaker 1: you don't want to happen is and it's going to happen. 318 00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:57,360 Speaker 1: Maybe the Cowboys. Other teams happened to Denver and their quarterbacks. 319 00:14:57,360 --> 00:14:59,680 Speaker 1: I mean, well, you don't when the season starts and 320 00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:00,960 Speaker 1: you're in the middle of the week and then that 321 00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:03,880 Speaker 1: happens to this one position where you get wiped out. 322 00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:07,760 Speaker 1: I could he could really affect everything. That's it's it's unsettling. 323 00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:09,920 Speaker 1: I mean the nice thing. I mean, the team's ninety 324 00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:13,440 Speaker 1: three percent vaccinated. Israel was able to come back Wednesday 325 00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:16,240 Speaker 1: after being put on the list on Monday, So you know, 326 00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:18,440 Speaker 1: that's what you hope for in these situations. But like, 327 00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:21,600 Speaker 1: we don't know, you know, you don't fully know the 328 00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:24,440 Speaker 1: vaccination status of everybody other than the guys who have 329 00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:26,760 Speaker 1: offered it up, and we don't know the results of 330 00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:29,240 Speaker 1: these tests. So if you went on the list on 331 00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:32,760 Speaker 1: Saturday and you're not here by Thursday, my assumption is 332 00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:35,080 Speaker 1: that you've got symptoms, which is going to put you 333 00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:37,520 Speaker 1: out for more than a week. Um, it's about it 334 00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:41,600 Speaker 1: matter your body, right, Yeah, yeah, And I mean it's 335 00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:43,200 Speaker 1: not a big deal right now. The season is still 336 00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:46,560 Speaker 1: two weeks away, but it's it's unsettling to think about 337 00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:49,200 Speaker 1: it happening during the season. Do you think do you think, Okay, 338 00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:52,320 Speaker 1: it's ninety three percent based off of an eighty man 339 00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:54,800 Speaker 1: roster right now. I believe so. I mean, I think 340 00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:57,000 Speaker 1: they're technically number is like five or six. When they 341 00:15:57,000 --> 00:15:59,360 Speaker 1: cut to fifty three, do you think the number will 342 00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:02,720 Speaker 1: be higher or lower? I bet it's lower. If I 343 00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:07,920 Speaker 1: had to guess, I would guess it's it's gonna be wait, 344 00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:12,320 Speaker 1: the percentage, will think the percentage will go lower when 345 00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:14,440 Speaker 1: they come. I think if you at this point, if 346 00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:16,960 Speaker 1: you don't, if you're not vaccinated, I'm guessing you're a 347 00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:19,920 Speaker 1: person that probably feels very secure in your spot on 348 00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:21,960 Speaker 1: the roster. Yeah, I'm gonna say it's the way I 349 00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:24,240 Speaker 1: would think about it, because if I were a bubble guy, 350 00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:26,280 Speaker 1: I'd be like, tell me what you want me to do. 351 00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:28,320 Speaker 1: Anything you tell me to do, I'm gonna do it 352 00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:30,440 Speaker 1: because I just want to be on a team, right Like, So, 353 00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:33,160 Speaker 1: I would guess and then these are all assumptions. I 354 00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:36,840 Speaker 1: would guess that it's probably guys that feel more comfortable 355 00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:38,880 Speaker 1: being able to stand up and say, like you know, 356 00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:41,920 Speaker 1: Saw called Beasley. He's been very outspoken. He knows that 357 00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:43,440 Speaker 1: that team is not just gonna cut him, and if 358 00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:45,480 Speaker 1: they do, some other team's gonna pick him up because 359 00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:47,720 Speaker 1: he's that good of a player. Right, So, I think 360 00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:50,080 Speaker 1: that's what ends up happening in some of these situations. 361 00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:52,440 Speaker 1: You think it's it's just kind of weird. What do 362 00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:54,880 Speaker 1: you think about that he made that NFL's Top one 363 00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:58,280 Speaker 1: hundred list and like no other Cowboy offensive player other 364 00:16:58,280 --> 00:17:00,840 Speaker 1: than Zach Martin made it. You know what it is? 365 00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:03,280 Speaker 1: I mean that that list is about first of all, 366 00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:05,760 Speaker 1: it's about last season. Yeah, so a lot of guys 367 00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:08,479 Speaker 1: that may not have had great seasons here they may 368 00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:11,359 Speaker 1: be better players, but you can't point to anybody on 369 00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:13,840 Speaker 1: the Cowboys last year. I hope really that had a 370 00:17:13,840 --> 00:17:15,879 Speaker 1: great year, like yeah, to be able to put them 371 00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:18,560 Speaker 1: into a category like that, they're better players, I think, 372 00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:20,880 Speaker 1: But I just think it's all based upon last year, 373 00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:23,879 Speaker 1: and the Bills had a phenomenal year, especially offensively, and 374 00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:26,320 Speaker 1: he was a part of that Cooper's probably got something 375 00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:28,919 Speaker 1: to say about that. Maybe that's fair, that's fair, but 376 00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:31,920 Speaker 1: that's I mean, I'm not gonna stand on the table 377 00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:34,760 Speaker 1: for anybody on this team after last year. But just 378 00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:37,240 Speaker 1: in general, that list sucks. We don't have to get 379 00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:39,280 Speaker 1: into agree. I agree. But to go back to what 380 00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:41,399 Speaker 1: you said about guys that feel good about themselves, you know, 381 00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:45,639 Speaker 1: probably making it. Of the two players that I've heard 382 00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:50,160 Speaker 1: of that are not vaccinated, yeah they are starting and 383 00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:52,520 Speaker 1: there they got a role on this team. I can 384 00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:54,840 Speaker 1: only think of two. I think there's I'm sure there's more, 385 00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:56,840 Speaker 1: but I just you know, well, if you do the map, 386 00:17:57,000 --> 00:18:00,679 Speaker 1: ninety three percent of eighty is like five guys or 387 00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:03,840 Speaker 1: maybe six, depending on how you rounded the decimals. So yeah, 388 00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:06,440 Speaker 1: it can't be too much more than right, I would think, 389 00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:08,720 Speaker 1: And you're right, it's got to be guys that I mean, 390 00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:11,679 Speaker 1: I I can't imagine a guy that's just that's a 391 00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:14,920 Speaker 1: bubble player like that that you know, if they are 392 00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:16,879 Speaker 1: like that's just asking to get I mean, that's giving 393 00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:19,720 Speaker 1: one more reason why it makes sense to just like 394 00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:21,960 Speaker 1: let them go, right, you know, all right, we're gonna 395 00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:24,240 Speaker 1: take our first break when we come back Finally, after 396 00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:26,159 Speaker 1: about two weeks, we're going to get around to a 397 00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:28,240 Speaker 1: game of I get around, I'm going to throw out 398 00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:30,400 Speaker 1: some names to these guys of players on this team 399 00:18:30,440 --> 00:18:32,800 Speaker 1: that we don't talk about very much and get their 400 00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:35,840 Speaker 1: opinions on where they are, how they're performing, and maybe 401 00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:37,840 Speaker 1: even their likelihood of making this team.

We began training camp with 449 00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:14,520 Speaker 1: this segment that I called I Get Around, And the 450 00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:16,159 Speaker 1: point of it is, we're going to talk about some 451 00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:18,879 Speaker 1: players that we don't normally talk about on this show 452 00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:22,280 Speaker 1: and just allow our two analysts here to give you 453 00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:24,240 Speaker 1: their thoughts on the player. It could be anything. It 454 00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:26,440 Speaker 1: could be a great story you have about the player. 455 00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:28,640 Speaker 1: It could be something you've seen as far as them 456 00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:30,960 Speaker 1: playing on the field. It could be I don't know 457 00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:33,119 Speaker 1: what you saw in hard knocks, who knows, but whatever 458 00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:34,800 Speaker 1: it is, you guys are going to give people a 459 00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:37,840 Speaker 1: little bit of insight on that player and where you 460 00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:39,880 Speaker 1: think they stand currently on this team. We are going 461 00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:43,480 Speaker 1: to start with the rookie guard out of Nebraska, Matt 462 00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:49,040 Speaker 1: Farniac Dave Goum. With all due respect to him, it's 463 00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:55,400 Speaker 1: it's hard to imagine him making the roster just he's 464 00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:57,040 Speaker 1: a rookie, he's a seventh round pick. He was the 465 00:21:57,080 --> 00:21:59,840 Speaker 1: last guy they took. He's been doing a lot of back, 466 00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:02,520 Speaker 1: doing a lot of work with the reserves, a little 467 00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:08,560 Speaker 1: bit of center, mostly guard. That just to me again, 468 00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:11,119 Speaker 1: and you know, the team's always going to try to 469 00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:14,560 Speaker 1: protect its draft class, and that just seems that just 470 00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:18,640 Speaker 1: screams a guy who is cut on Tuesday and put 471 00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:21,880 Speaker 1: on the practice squad on Wednesday. To me, that's he's 472 00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:24,199 Speaker 1: got that written all over him. And you know he 473 00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:26,920 Speaker 1: I think he's been good enough that that's fair and 474 00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:29,479 Speaker 1: I hope it win or if that happens, you know, 475 00:22:30,119 --> 00:22:33,040 Speaker 1: work on some center, because clearly that's a you know 476 00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:36,320 Speaker 1: that's been something we've talked about throughout camp is guys 477 00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:38,920 Speaker 1: that have that versatility that could be important, So keep 478 00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:41,960 Speaker 1: working on that. Yeah, I mean I remember a couple 479 00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:44,520 Speaker 1: of weeks ago we were at training camp. Somebody it 480 00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:47,240 Speaker 1: said to me, it's either it's going to come down 481 00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:50,600 Speaker 1: to him Brandon Knight on the roster, and you know 482 00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:54,040 Speaker 1: they're both versatile backups, but I could just see Night 483 00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:57,399 Speaker 1: helping you more, being ready to play at guard. Also 484 00:22:57,520 --> 00:23:01,199 Speaker 1: the guy that started games at tackle. So yeah, I 485 00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:05,040 Speaker 1: think he's a he's a really good practice squad scout 486 00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:07,960 Speaker 1: team Farnioc is a really good scout team guy because 487 00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:10,639 Speaker 1: he can't play different positions and he'll learn different positions 488 00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:14,800 Speaker 1: even better when he's there, which the fun thing I love. 489 00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:17,000 Speaker 1: I hope we've talked about it before. I hope all 490 00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:19,480 Speaker 1: these changes they've made for COVID or permanent, like the 491 00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:22,600 Speaker 1: bigger practice squad, kind of more relaxed rules about how 492 00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:26,600 Speaker 1: you can move guys around. When you think there's they 493 00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:29,960 Speaker 1: have sixteen practice squad spots if you include the exemption 494 00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:32,640 Speaker 1: for Isaac, and I would imagine they'll use it because 495 00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:34,879 Speaker 1: it doesn't cost him anything. So when you think about it, 496 00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:38,600 Speaker 1: if there's eighty guys here. You can put sixty eight 497 00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:40,840 Speaker 1: or sixty nine guys on there, like they only really 498 00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:43,919 Speaker 1: have to cut like ten people really after it's all 499 00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:46,080 Speaker 1: that Yeah, yeah, I mean once you include practice squad, 500 00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:49,240 Speaker 1: like only ten people have to just leave goaling. Yeah, 501 00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:50,960 Speaker 1: and that's good because it gives you a lot of 502 00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:53,360 Speaker 1: guys you can keep around and developed. Yeah, assuming you're 503 00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:56,080 Speaker 1: not going out on other people's cuts, but even even 504 00:23:56,080 --> 00:23:58,440 Speaker 1: if they that'll be two or three guys. Yeah. Yeah, 505 00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:00,920 Speaker 1: all right, let's move on. We'll stay the offensive line. 506 00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:03,880 Speaker 1: Let's move to the tackle position. You just mentioned him. 507 00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:06,800 Speaker 1: He is a guard tackle coming out of Indiana third 508 00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:09,920 Speaker 1: year player Brandon Knight. Nick Tella, which didn't know about him, Well, 509 00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:12,080 Speaker 1: I think that you know, he's played tackle obviously, he 510 00:24:12,119 --> 00:24:16,440 Speaker 1: started games last two years. Um, I I think he's 511 00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:19,320 Speaker 1: you know, he's the bouncer of the team. I just 512 00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:22,040 Speaker 1: think I just think that's his role. He's he kind 513 00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:25,320 Speaker 1: of I think he's better at guard just because you know, 514 00:24:25,359 --> 00:24:28,040 Speaker 1: he's not his agile, but he's but he's just a fighter. 515 00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:30,600 Speaker 1: He's a scrappy guy that can kind of you know 516 00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:32,359 Speaker 1: when it's when it's in there and it's muddy and 517 00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:35,040 Speaker 1: he can, he can kind of do his thing, but 518 00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:38,720 Speaker 1: it's great to have a versatile backup like that. So, um, 519 00:24:38,760 --> 00:24:42,560 Speaker 1: if it's me, he's on the team. I mean I 520 00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:45,760 Speaker 1: I keep him before I keep both of those tackles 521 00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:49,720 Speaker 1: in Sky and Steal. I make a decision there and 522 00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:51,720 Speaker 1: I go with Night. Night'll help me at guard. And 523 00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:53,840 Speaker 1: if it gets really bad, if it gets bad enough 524 00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:56,080 Speaker 1: that both those guys have to play, it's already we've 525 00:24:56,080 --> 00:24:58,160 Speaker 1: seen it. It's it's a problem. So might as well 526 00:24:58,200 --> 00:25:00,919 Speaker 1: go with Night at tackle if you have to. I 527 00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:03,920 Speaker 1: really haven't been. I haven't been thinking a lot about Night. 528 00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:08,960 Speaker 1: I don't. I don't think he's been fantastic, definitely not terrible. 529 00:25:09,359 --> 00:25:12,520 Speaker 1: Yeah he's Indiana, but he wasn't fantastical. I think it 530 00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:17,240 Speaker 1: was all big ten fantastic different or I think it 531 00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:20,160 Speaker 1: was honorable mention, all big ten, but still still close. 532 00:25:20,359 --> 00:25:24,160 Speaker 1: He's fan. It's the jump. It's a jump. But when 533 00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:27,199 Speaker 1: you I mean, he could potentially play four positions, and 534 00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:30,160 Speaker 1: that is there's value that's helpful. There's definitely value in that. 535 00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:33,359 Speaker 1: All right, let's let's actually move on to a guy 536 00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:35,840 Speaker 1: that I think has been handcuffed to him because they 537 00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:38,440 Speaker 1: both were thrown into duty last year at tackle. You 538 00:25:38,560 --> 00:25:42,280 Speaker 1: got second year tackle out of Texas Tech Terrence Steele Dave. 539 00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:46,359 Speaker 1: I was super encouraged when they started playing him on 540 00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:49,000 Speaker 1: the left side about halfway through camp, like he's done 541 00:25:49,040 --> 00:25:51,119 Speaker 1: a little bit of both. He's split in time at 542 00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:55,200 Speaker 1: those two positions, which to me says they're evaluating how 543 00:25:55,240 --> 00:25:57,119 Speaker 1: well he could be the swing tackle. And what I 544 00:25:57,960 --> 00:26:01,720 Speaker 1: just want to know, do you do you keep both 545 00:26:01,720 --> 00:26:03,640 Speaker 1: of those guys or is there a chance you only 546 00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:05,800 Speaker 1: keep one? When I say those guys, I mean him 547 00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:09,399 Speaker 1: and Tie and Secky, and I think Steven Jones he 548 00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:12,040 Speaker 1: kind of hinted at it on the radio the other day. 549 00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:14,480 Speaker 1: He brought up Tie and Secky, and just the way 550 00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:16,440 Speaker 1: he was talking about it made it sound like, Yeah, 551 00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:19,680 Speaker 1: he's going to be on the team, which shouldn't surprise anybody. 552 00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:22,280 Speaker 1: But you know, I think people are nervous about that, 553 00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:25,160 Speaker 1: and rightfully, so I just wonder is it an either 554 00:26:25,280 --> 00:26:27,080 Speaker 1: or thing or do you try to keep both? Yeah? See, 555 00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:29,439 Speaker 1: I do believe and based off you know what I 556 00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:32,000 Speaker 1: just said is I would probably make that decision. But 557 00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:36,320 Speaker 1: I feel like if it's Insecki, then Brandon Knight's probably 558 00:26:36,359 --> 00:26:41,120 Speaker 1: out because they're gonna keep Terrence Steele. They they've developed them, 559 00:26:41,119 --> 00:26:44,320 Speaker 1: they've worked on him. Somebody even told me a couple 560 00:26:44,359 --> 00:26:46,919 Speaker 1: of weeks ago. They said, there are people in the 561 00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:49,320 Speaker 1: room that believe he'll be this. He'll be a starting 562 00:26:49,359 --> 00:26:52,440 Speaker 1: tackle in two or three years for this team. He's 563 00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:56,520 Speaker 1: going to be that good. And I don't know just yet, 564 00:26:56,640 --> 00:27:00,080 Speaker 1: but they're good on them for They're not going to 565 00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:02,520 Speaker 1: let let him go. Yeah, they're not letting Steel go. 566 00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:05,160 Speaker 1: They'll let Night go and keep in Seki for right now. 567 00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:07,840 Speaker 1: But that's the thing I don't think personally. You said 568 00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:10,560 Speaker 1: I wouldn't be surprised. I am kind of surprised by that, 569 00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:13,320 Speaker 1: because I think tian Secki has not been good. Like 570 00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:16,120 Speaker 1: you watch him during the preseason games, every preseason game 571 00:27:16,160 --> 00:27:18,640 Speaker 1: that they've played so far, there have been moments where 572 00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:20,480 Speaker 1: I've been like, Oh, there we go. That that was 573 00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:23,480 Speaker 1: tian Seki, that was his work. And it's just I 574 00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:26,399 Speaker 1: don't I think if you're gonna have that, you might 575 00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:29,080 Speaker 1: as well go with a young guy who you're still developing, 576 00:27:29,119 --> 00:27:30,840 Speaker 1: who you think maybe in two or three years is 577 00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:32,960 Speaker 1: going to be a starter in this league. More so 578 00:27:33,119 --> 00:27:35,399 Speaker 1: than I would look at an older guy like Tian Secki, 579 00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:37,840 Speaker 1: who I don't. I don't think he's better than Steel 580 00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:40,480 Speaker 1: right now. No, look for a veteran and I don't 581 00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:41,960 Speaker 1: know this, I don't have a name, but look for 582 00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:44,680 Speaker 1: another Tie and Secki type player to be on the 583 00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:47,080 Speaker 1: waiver wire. And that's one that you could get me in. 584 00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:49,440 Speaker 1: And that to me makes a lot more sense. Yeah, 585 00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:51,040 Speaker 1: that makes a lot more sense to me. I don't. 586 00:27:51,119 --> 00:27:53,760 Speaker 1: I just don't see why Tie and Seki would be 587 00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:56,600 Speaker 1: on this team. I just I don't. I'm not. I'm 588 00:27:56,640 --> 00:28:00,320 Speaker 1: not arguing for him, but I doubt I think thirty 589 00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:02,360 Speaker 1: of the thirty two teams in the league hate their 590 00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:05,520 Speaker 1: swing tackle situation right now. It's just that's probably true. 591 00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:08,560 Speaker 1: A lot of like that that was because but I 592 00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:12,040 Speaker 1: hate starting to talk as Steele say about Fleming. Didn't 593 00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:14,800 Speaker 1: we say that about cam Irving? Didn't we? Yeah? But 594 00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:17,480 Speaker 1: I hate it more with I hate it less with 595 00:28:17,720 --> 00:28:19,880 Speaker 1: Steel than I do with in second. That's my point 596 00:28:20,320 --> 00:28:22,159 Speaker 1: is it's not so much that that I think that 597 00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:23,800 Speaker 1: I think if you got to put in a third tackle, 598 00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:26,280 Speaker 1: you're you're okay. I don't think that with any of them. 599 00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:28,639 Speaker 1: I do think Terren Steele is a bit better, and 600 00:28:28,720 --> 00:28:31,239 Speaker 1: I think he's younger, which a lot younger, which means 601 00:28:31,280 --> 00:28:33,520 Speaker 1: he has more development. Let's why why can't we just 602 00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:36,639 Speaker 1: have both? Poor kan Nola dos because I got other 603 00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:38,400 Speaker 1: positions where I want to go along. I don't know 604 00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:40,760 Speaker 1: if I want to keep two tackles, because it all 605 00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:42,840 Speaker 1: works itself out with the line, you have to kind 606 00:28:42,840 --> 00:28:45,160 Speaker 1: of figure out. Well. Let's also remember this if if 607 00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:47,520 Speaker 1: your tackle, if one of your tackles goes down, I'm 608 00:28:47,560 --> 00:28:49,440 Speaker 1: not talking about end game. I'm talking about for an 609 00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:52,040 Speaker 1: extended period of time. I still I am a believer 610 00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:54,600 Speaker 1: that my guard, my right guard's about to come become 611 00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:58,480 Speaker 1: my tackle. Um so for me, he's really my swing tackles. 612 00:28:58,840 --> 00:29:00,959 Speaker 1: I didn't need that one guy important, right, I can 613 00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:03,479 Speaker 1: play a guy that can jump in in games if 614 00:29:03,520 --> 00:29:05,640 Speaker 1: I if I lose a tackle, not necessarily if I 615 00:29:05,720 --> 00:29:07,440 Speaker 1: lose a tackle for a long period. Let's do some 616 00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:11,440 Speaker 1: quick maths. So I mean you have five starters, Tie Insecky, 617 00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:17,360 Speaker 1: Terrence Steele, Brandon Knight, and Connor McGovern. Okay, and I'm 618 00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:20,800 Speaker 1: forgetting somebody that I shouldn't. That's so that's only nine. 619 00:29:20,880 --> 00:29:23,040 Speaker 1: That's not heavy that's not heavy. Let's go to the Tampa. 620 00:29:23,160 --> 00:29:25,280 Speaker 1: Let's go to the game. Then to the question that 621 00:29:25,440 --> 00:29:28,560 Speaker 1: you just said, when if something goes down to one 622 00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:31,560 Speaker 1: of the tackles, what happens. You have three options. You 623 00:29:31,680 --> 00:29:35,640 Speaker 1: can play. You can play Zach Martin over there. You 624 00:29:35,680 --> 00:29:40,920 Speaker 1: can also throw in Steel or um Inseci. If if 625 00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:47,400 Speaker 1: the answer is Insecki, then I mean Steel is inactive. Yeah, 626 00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:51,240 Speaker 1: I think in that situation, you make whichever tackles you 627 00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:55,520 Speaker 1: feel Steele, then Inseki doesn't need to be on the team. 628 00:29:55,720 --> 00:29:57,880 Speaker 1: That's my point. I know, yeah, that's the point, and 629 00:29:58,080 --> 00:30:02,280 Speaker 1: I'm answer and last you just want the insurance policy 630 00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:04,520 Speaker 1: that badly, just and just let him be in Just 631 00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:07,600 Speaker 1: let him be inactive Monterrey Holland guy, because Montre Holland 632 00:30:07,680 --> 00:30:10,160 Speaker 1: was that way better to be keep inactive on game day. 633 00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:11,680 Speaker 1: But if you need him for the long pole, than 634 00:30:11,720 --> 00:30:14,360 Speaker 1: he's there. My point is to get if you get 635 00:30:14,440 --> 00:30:18,000 Speaker 1: to the point where both your tackles are out again, 636 00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:21,480 Speaker 1: where you would need both Inseci and Steel, you're just 637 00:30:21,680 --> 00:30:24,920 Speaker 1: as good saying we'll just give me We did that 638 00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:26,920 Speaker 1: last year. But do you're just as good saying give 639 00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:29,840 Speaker 1: me still a night like Inseci's not better than those guys, 640 00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:33,440 Speaker 1: is my point. I get like, I don't disagree with you, 641 00:30:33,720 --> 00:30:36,800 Speaker 1: but I don't know. I feel like we're splitting hairs here. 642 00:30:36,920 --> 00:30:39,320 Speaker 1: I don't and just I don't. It's not a big 643 00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:41,760 Speaker 1: enough deal that I feel passionately about it. Like right, 644 00:30:42,440 --> 00:30:44,160 Speaker 1: we probably have spent way more time than we needed 645 00:30:44,160 --> 00:30:46,800 Speaker 1: to spend on it. Nine is a point. Nine offensive 646 00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:49,880 Speaker 1: lineman is a very normal number of offensive lineman, and 647 00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:52,920 Speaker 1: it shouldn't keep you from keeping whoever you need to 648 00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:55,160 Speaker 1: keep somewhere else. That's where I would say, if if 649 00:30:55,200 --> 00:30:57,600 Speaker 1: I'm going to have that ninth instead of having in Secki, 650 00:30:58,040 --> 00:31:00,480 Speaker 1: go find me somebody that's a care asked off that 651 00:31:00,480 --> 00:31:02,640 Speaker 1: I can play center and guard with, because I'm way 652 00:31:02,680 --> 00:31:05,240 Speaker 1: more concerned about backup center than I am. If you 653 00:31:05,360 --> 00:31:07,480 Speaker 1: can at fourth tack, if you can find an improvement 654 00:31:07,520 --> 00:31:09,440 Speaker 1: on the waiver wire, I'm all about it. It's just 655 00:31:09,640 --> 00:31:12,120 Speaker 1: I think it's easier said than done. Maybe, So all right, 656 00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:14,200 Speaker 1: let's move on. Actually we're gonna take our final break. 657 00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:15,800 Speaker 1: We're gonna come back.

I do that time, and I 707 00:33:53,400 --> 00:33:56,120 Speaker 1: did coming out of the last break, but I didn't 708 00:33:56,240 --> 00:33:58,200 Speaker 1: I guess I didn't get through the times of there 709 00:33:58,240 --> 00:34:01,560 Speaker 1: at the practice. I think on Sad, I think it's fifteen, 710 00:34:01,680 --> 00:34:04,400 Speaker 1: you've got it, Saturday ten fifteen, that is that is correct. 711 00:34:04,440 --> 00:34:08,040 Speaker 1: It's early before the Jerry Jones Classics. Two high school 712 00:34:08,120 --> 00:34:10,279 Speaker 1: teams in the area that will be going out at 713 00:34:10,360 --> 00:34:13,960 Speaker 1: the Star. Uh. You can come out to that as well, absolutely, um, 714 00:34:15,040 --> 00:34:18,759 Speaker 1: But the practice on Friday got me on that one. 715 00:34:18,920 --> 00:34:24,800 Speaker 1: On what time? Fifteen fifteen Saturday ten fifteen PA Friday 716 00:34:25,040 --> 00:34:29,720 Speaker 1: Friday's eleven fifteen eleven fifteen on Friday ten fifteen on Saturday. 717 00:34:29,719 --> 00:34:31,160 Speaker 1: So if you have not had a chance to come 718 00:34:31,160 --> 00:34:33,960 Speaker 1: and check out your Dallas Cowboys. Great opportunity to be 719 00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:36,520 Speaker 1: able to check them out, and a practice practice setting 720 00:34:36,600 --> 00:34:39,279 Speaker 1: here at Ford Center, um at the start to be 721 00:34:39,400 --> 00:34:42,560 Speaker 1: able to see them before the season gets here if 722 00:34:42,640 --> 00:34:44,080 Speaker 1: you haven't had chance to that so far. All right, 723 00:34:44,440 --> 00:34:46,640 Speaker 1: I get around, let's get back to it. I'm gonna 724 00:34:46,640 --> 00:34:49,160 Speaker 1: throw these two guys out together because their fortunes may 725 00:34:49,200 --> 00:34:53,480 Speaker 1: be linked in some ways. Jaron Curse and Darien Thompson 726 00:34:53,560 --> 00:34:57,239 Speaker 1: two safeties for the Cowboys. Nick go well, I mean 727 00:34:57,360 --> 00:34:59,640 Speaker 1: darry and Thompson. He's just the guy that we just 728 00:34:59,760 --> 00:35:03,520 Speaker 1: keep you know, writing off for what for some reason, 729 00:35:03,640 --> 00:35:06,440 Speaker 1: and he's right here in the mix, and you know 730 00:35:06,719 --> 00:35:08,839 Speaker 1: this last three or four days. Both those two guys, 731 00:35:08,920 --> 00:35:10,520 Speaker 1: what they have in common is that they've been on 732 00:35:10,600 --> 00:35:13,120 Speaker 1: the field and that it might be the only safeties 733 00:35:13,200 --> 00:35:14,839 Speaker 1: that I think have been on the field other than 734 00:35:14,920 --> 00:35:20,240 Speaker 1: the rookie that we never mentioned, Tyler Coyle, which yeah, exactly. 735 00:35:20,480 --> 00:35:23,200 Speaker 1: So those two guys have helped themselves. They've probably been 736 00:35:23,280 --> 00:35:25,839 Speaker 1: starters while some of the other guys have been out 737 00:35:25,840 --> 00:35:29,040 Speaker 1: whither injuries or COVID protocols. So to answer the question, 738 00:35:29,760 --> 00:35:33,520 Speaker 1: I mean, I think I think one of them is 739 00:35:33,800 --> 00:35:36,920 Speaker 1: definitely gonna make it. They both might make it because 740 00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:39,960 Speaker 1: of just where they are right now, and they've got 741 00:35:40,080 --> 00:35:42,960 Speaker 1: to maybe go along at that position. I think the 742 00:35:43,040 --> 00:35:44,719 Speaker 1: back end of the safety depth chart is one of 743 00:35:44,760 --> 00:35:47,440 Speaker 1: the biggest flides in the ointment. If you're trying to 744 00:35:47,560 --> 00:35:50,480 Speaker 1: put a fifty three together, it's just tricky. Darian Thompson, 745 00:35:51,040 --> 00:35:53,960 Speaker 1: we know that you probably don't want him playing defensive snaps, 746 00:35:54,040 --> 00:35:58,120 Speaker 1: but he is one of John Fossil's core guys loves him. 747 00:35:58,800 --> 00:36:01,360 Speaker 1: He plays in him served high percentage of the snaps, 748 00:36:01,680 --> 00:36:03,799 Speaker 1: so it's hard to bet against him making the team. 749 00:36:04,200 --> 00:36:07,960 Speaker 1: At the same time, Jaron Curse is really interesting because 750 00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:11,960 Speaker 1: he has a highly specialized role he and he talked 751 00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:15,960 Speaker 1: about this in the spring, like maybe this is probably dramatic. 752 00:36:16,040 --> 00:36:17,520 Speaker 1: I mean, he's not an all pro, but he is 753 00:36:17,520 --> 00:36:20,520 Speaker 1: a tight end eraser. He's a tight end guy. He's huge. 754 00:36:20,680 --> 00:36:23,120 Speaker 1: He can come down into the slot and handle these 755 00:36:23,160 --> 00:36:27,880 Speaker 1: all I mean, that's what people call those types of guys, right, 756 00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:30,239 Speaker 1: I mean I'm not saying he's not quite there, yeah, 757 00:36:30,400 --> 00:36:34,239 Speaker 1: saying he's just gonna take take a Travis Kelsey. Yeah, 758 00:36:34,960 --> 00:36:36,800 Speaker 1: we don't worry about those teams, Like, but that is 759 00:36:37,719 --> 00:36:41,319 Speaker 1: what he excels at he can go with role to sure, um, 760 00:36:42,280 --> 00:36:44,600 Speaker 1: he could probably erase a Nevinigram, who you face twice 761 00:36:44,640 --> 00:36:46,920 Speaker 1: a year your dime packages. You know, I think you 762 00:36:46,960 --> 00:36:48,800 Speaker 1: could see a lot of situations where they use a 763 00:36:48,920 --> 00:36:52,720 Speaker 1: third safety for that very reason. Dak's only incompletion yesterday 764 00:36:52,840 --> 00:36:54,840 Speaker 1: was because he got into the throwing lane with his 765 00:36:55,200 --> 00:36:56,920 Speaker 1: I heard, I don't remember who said that. Somebody at 766 00:36:56,960 --> 00:36:59,279 Speaker 1: practice yesterday said he looks like a pterodactyl, and I 767 00:36:59,400 --> 00:37:03,759 Speaker 1: was like, yeah, he does right, right, sift and long, 768 00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:06,160 Speaker 1: and I mean he jumped into the throwing lane and 769 00:37:06,200 --> 00:37:08,480 Speaker 1: batted the ball down. And he's made plays like that 770 00:37:09,160 --> 00:37:11,040 Speaker 1: throughout training camp, like he you know, he's not a 771 00:37:11,640 --> 00:37:13,560 Speaker 1: he's not like a ball hawk, like he's gonna make 772 00:37:13,560 --> 00:37:15,200 Speaker 1: a lot of picks, but he's got the reach to 773 00:37:15,960 --> 00:37:18,200 Speaker 1: get to get to the football. I'm laughing because he's 774 00:37:18,400 --> 00:37:21,560 Speaker 1: he wears thirty two right, yes, and so a lot 775 00:37:21,640 --> 00:37:23,800 Speaker 1: of times when I see, you know, I see these guys, 776 00:37:24,080 --> 00:37:26,720 Speaker 1: I just my mind just drifts back to another player 777 00:37:26,840 --> 00:37:28,320 Speaker 1: that wore it, like, oh, is that so and so. 778 00:37:28,719 --> 00:37:32,000 Speaker 1: I never do that with Scandrick because they don't even 779 00:37:32,040 --> 00:37:35,920 Speaker 1: look anywhere close to the same right. But the one 780 00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:38,320 Speaker 1: thing that's interesting about jay Ron Curse is that he 781 00:37:38,480 --> 00:37:42,120 Speaker 1: was coming in to do that slot guy, like another backup, 782 00:37:42,440 --> 00:37:46,799 Speaker 1: but different than Jordan Lewis. But Maurice Kennedy's play at 783 00:37:46,840 --> 00:37:49,440 Speaker 1: training camp has also kind of affected that. I'm not 784 00:37:49,520 --> 00:37:52,080 Speaker 1: saying he's he's certainly not as big, but he's a 785 00:37:52,280 --> 00:37:56,360 Speaker 1: physical slot corner more than than Lewis. So there's another 786 00:37:56,440 --> 00:38:00,200 Speaker 1: option in there that I wonder might alter some things. 787 00:38:00,200 --> 00:38:01,960 Speaker 1: Because Kennedy, I think is going to make the team. 788 00:38:02,080 --> 00:38:06,120 Speaker 1: It's the DBS give me more anxiety than anyone because, like, 789 00:38:06,360 --> 00:38:08,560 Speaker 1: I can't figure out how to have less than seven 790 00:38:08,680 --> 00:38:12,520 Speaker 1: quarterbacks from me? But oh why what's weird? I mean, 791 00:38:12,640 --> 00:38:15,560 Speaker 1: just your starter hasn't played into Otilber of last year, 792 00:38:15,880 --> 00:38:17,960 Speaker 1: neither one of your backups. I've really ever played a 793 00:38:18,080 --> 00:38:21,000 Speaker 1: significant game and definitely haven't won a game. Dak will 794 00:38:21,080 --> 00:38:23,839 Speaker 1: be fine, and the third baseman, fourth quarterback and all 795 00:38:23,880 --> 00:38:26,480 Speaker 1: that we don't practice ft you know that whole story, 796 00:38:26,640 --> 00:38:30,880 Speaker 1: that's my favorite one. So um no, I just I 797 00:38:30,920 --> 00:38:32,759 Speaker 1: don't know how you keep it less than what was that? 798 00:38:34,239 --> 00:38:37,680 Speaker 1: Maybe maybe everybody knows that story. Um, I don't know 799 00:38:37,719 --> 00:38:39,719 Speaker 1: how you keep less than seven corners and I don't 800 00:38:39,920 --> 00:38:43,400 Speaker 1: know how you keep less than five safeties. That's my 801 00:38:43,560 --> 00:38:46,040 Speaker 1: whole which I don't know. And even at five, like 802 00:38:46,160 --> 00:38:49,400 Speaker 1: I'm I'm like, there's still probably somebody out there you 803 00:38:49,560 --> 00:38:51,040 Speaker 1: kind of have a role for you kind of want 804 00:38:51,040 --> 00:38:55,040 Speaker 1: to keep around five safeties because well that so we 805 00:38:55,160 --> 00:38:58,040 Speaker 1: haven't even talked about Israel Mukuamu. But he factures into 806 00:38:58,040 --> 00:38:59,560 Speaker 1: all that as well. That's what makes it interest. He's 807 00:38:59,600 --> 00:39:02,880 Speaker 1: looked promising, he has similar length. I think he can 808 00:39:02,960 --> 00:39:05,200 Speaker 1: do a lot of the special teams stuff, and that's 809 00:39:05,239 --> 00:39:08,320 Speaker 1: what I wonder, Like God, I just want to be 810 00:39:08,400 --> 00:39:10,400 Speaker 1: allowed in the room for these meetings one day. I 811 00:39:10,440 --> 00:39:12,000 Speaker 1: don't even want to report on. I just want to 812 00:39:12,000 --> 00:39:13,839 Speaker 1: see how it goes because I can just imagine them 813 00:39:13,960 --> 00:39:16,120 Speaker 1: talking to Fossil and being like, how many of these 814 00:39:16,160 --> 00:39:19,239 Speaker 1: guys do you need? Man? We gave you CJ. You've 815 00:39:19,280 --> 00:39:22,840 Speaker 1: got Gifford, you have Dorrance Kennedy. You can't like, you 816 00:39:22,920 --> 00:39:25,040 Speaker 1: can't have you can't have darry In two. And he's like, 817 00:39:25,120 --> 00:39:27,520 Speaker 1: well screw you, I want dark like and they're just 818 00:39:27,680 --> 00:39:29,919 Speaker 1: fighting and I don't know how at all. I don't 819 00:39:29,960 --> 00:39:33,000 Speaker 1: know how you balance at all. There's my prediction for 820 00:39:33,080 --> 00:39:37,279 Speaker 1: the game. My prediction is something, Well, it may not 821 00:39:37,360 --> 00:39:38,920 Speaker 1: be in the game, but it'll be something in the 822 00:39:39,040 --> 00:39:41,120 Speaker 1: next I would say four or five days will work 823 00:39:41,160 --> 00:39:43,920 Speaker 1: itself out at the safety position, because there's six guys 824 00:39:44,040 --> 00:39:46,360 Speaker 1: right now that you think have a good chance Darren Thompson, 825 00:39:46,680 --> 00:39:51,040 Speaker 1: Curse Mkuamu, Hooker, Kauzie, and Donaldan Wilson. The six right 826 00:39:51,080 --> 00:39:55,040 Speaker 1: there and five is heavy, especially with seven corners. When 827 00:39:55,080 --> 00:39:58,080 Speaker 1: the seven corners is not changing, that's happened. I can't 828 00:39:58,120 --> 00:40:01,319 Speaker 1: imagine it. Yeah, I can't imagine anything else unless again, 829 00:40:01,440 --> 00:40:04,320 Speaker 1: like you said, something shaking change is there. But but 830 00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:07,320 Speaker 1: there's not that many guys that kind of do both roles, 831 00:40:07,360 --> 00:40:09,720 Speaker 1: So it's not like you can kind of steal position. 832 00:40:09,760 --> 00:40:12,600 Speaker 1: There isn't a single there's not a single hybrid guy 833 00:40:12,680 --> 00:40:15,080 Speaker 1: on the entire thing. I mean, who's done it in college, 834 00:40:15,120 --> 00:40:17,000 Speaker 1: but it's not done it here. Yeah, he hasn't done 835 00:40:17,000 --> 00:40:19,200 Speaker 1: it in the NFL. You ever seen him out there 836 00:40:19,760 --> 00:40:22,239 Speaker 1: with any of those? You really are going like, what 837 00:40:22,320 --> 00:40:23,719 Speaker 1: would you say is a what would you say is 838 00:40:23,719 --> 00:40:28,040 Speaker 1: a normal number for second? Really? And we've seen the 839 00:40:28,120 --> 00:40:32,000 Speaker 1: Cowboys go with nine before. Yeah, ten is That's where 840 00:40:32,040 --> 00:40:34,160 Speaker 1: I was Also, when I was talking about that offensive line, 841 00:40:34,160 --> 00:40:35,400 Speaker 1: when we're talking about that, I know you got to 842 00:40:35,400 --> 00:40:37,920 Speaker 1: said overall, the number is an extreme, but if you 843 00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:39,400 Speaker 1: want to go that deep on second here, you got 844 00:40:39,480 --> 00:40:42,120 Speaker 1: to take it from somewhere, right, Yeah, two quarterbacks, two 845 00:40:42,200 --> 00:40:45,759 Speaker 1: running backs. Honestly, he needs further We get into camp. 846 00:40:47,160 --> 00:40:50,719 Speaker 1: I really, I and Malie Turner was having a great camp. 847 00:40:50,800 --> 00:40:52,359 Speaker 1: It's not his fault that he got hurt. But I'm 848 00:40:52,400 --> 00:40:55,160 Speaker 1: just like, you can make this. You realize that happened. 849 00:40:55,640 --> 00:40:57,480 Speaker 1: That was a nice to have a training camp, but 850 00:40:57,600 --> 00:41:00,279 Speaker 1: you got you got depth at wide receiver without him. 851 00:41:00,320 --> 00:41:04,359 Speaker 1: Just just remember this about Darien Thompson um and if 852 00:41:04,400 --> 00:41:06,759 Speaker 1: he makes he may not make the fifty three man 853 00:41:06,920 --> 00:41:09,560 Speaker 1: roster initially because he is a guy that is not 854 00:41:09,840 --> 00:41:12,640 Speaker 1: He's a vested veteran, so he doesn't necessarily have to 855 00:41:13,200 --> 00:41:16,520 Speaker 1: clear waivers. They're gonna try. They need a couple of 856 00:41:16,640 --> 00:41:18,440 Speaker 1: roster spots on guys that they need to put on 857 00:41:18,560 --> 00:41:21,399 Speaker 1: I R to return. He is a he's a guy 858 00:41:21,560 --> 00:41:24,120 Speaker 1: for that A candidate to say you're gonna get cut, 859 00:41:24,520 --> 00:41:28,320 Speaker 1: stay right here and maybe a little something. Yeah, and 860 00:41:28,360 --> 00:41:31,040 Speaker 1: then Bill, Yeah, all right, let's let's move on. I 861 00:41:31,120 --> 00:41:34,759 Speaker 1: do want to talk about the fullback. The fullback, Uh, 862 00:41:35,000 --> 00:41:39,120 Speaker 1: Nick Ralston, tell what you know? Well, I'm actually doing 863 00:41:39,239 --> 00:41:41,279 Speaker 1: a story on him right now that that's gonna air 864 00:41:41,360 --> 00:41:45,320 Speaker 1: for the pregame show on the onun kick Off. I do. 865 00:41:46,440 --> 00:41:50,239 Speaker 1: I mean they they they put me on TV say 866 00:41:50,280 --> 00:41:51,920 Speaker 1: you got a great face radio, but I didn't know 867 00:41:52,080 --> 00:41:54,440 Speaker 1: you did tell it. That's good. Thank you. Appreciate that. 868 00:41:54,520 --> 00:41:57,120 Speaker 1: You're gonna be on NFL network though actually this weekend. Okay, 869 00:41:57,320 --> 00:42:00,719 Speaker 1: think about that. Wow, this this same was like like 870 00:42:00,840 --> 00:42:03,960 Speaker 1: a Hard Knocks type thing, like they're so like scripted 871 00:42:04,040 --> 00:42:07,680 Speaker 1: and like, oh, you're gonna be HI now. Anyways, it's good, okay. Um, 872 00:42:07,800 --> 00:42:12,120 Speaker 1: Nick Crosston, he's I mean, he calls himself he's a 873 00:42:12,120 --> 00:42:16,399 Speaker 1: football player, right, calls himself a beast actually, but um right, 874 00:42:16,880 --> 00:42:18,719 Speaker 1: but um, you know, if you go to that run. 875 00:42:18,760 --> 00:42:20,320 Speaker 1: They gave him the run in the second quarter of 876 00:42:20,360 --> 00:42:23,040 Speaker 1: the game, first second quarter and it was third and 877 00:42:23,080 --> 00:42:24,319 Speaker 1: one of the game. Him the ball. He didn't get 878 00:42:24,320 --> 00:42:28,799 Speaker 1: it initially, I mean he was stopped. He got there, 879 00:42:28,880 --> 00:42:30,359 Speaker 1: he got to the first down. That's what you need 880 00:42:30,400 --> 00:42:31,880 Speaker 1: out of your fullback and they're gonna give him the 881 00:42:31,920 --> 00:42:33,759 Speaker 1: ball like that. But he really he's gonna make the 882 00:42:33,800 --> 00:42:39,560 Speaker 1: team because of if he makes the team. To stop 883 00:42:39,600 --> 00:42:41,919 Speaker 1: the way I was saying that if he makes the team, 884 00:42:42,040 --> 00:42:44,840 Speaker 1: it'll be because of his plays that he made a 885 00:42:44,920 --> 00:42:47,799 Speaker 1: nice tackle and gets Arizona went down there, and it's 886 00:42:47,880 --> 00:42:50,040 Speaker 1: it's all the special teams guys. So it comes down 887 00:42:50,080 --> 00:42:53,240 Speaker 1: to like he's the liveless players, like all those players, 888 00:42:53,280 --> 00:42:54,959 Speaker 1: and how are they have special teams? All those extra 889 00:42:55,000 --> 00:42:57,640 Speaker 1: guys you will, Yeah, when when he's when fossils looking 890 00:42:57,680 --> 00:42:59,600 Speaker 1: at his list are and he's got L two, L four, 891 00:42:59,719 --> 00:43:01,120 Speaker 1: L five, which I really don't know what all of 892 00:43:01,200 --> 00:43:02,920 Speaker 1: that means, so let me just knows that's their position. 893 00:43:03,320 --> 00:43:05,680 Speaker 1: He's thinking the types. Okay, this is my speed guys 894 00:43:05,719 --> 00:43:07,920 Speaker 1: as a safety. Typically this is a running back receiver. 895 00:43:08,280 --> 00:43:12,879 Speaker 1: This is a linebacker, and he's a linebacker in body type. 896 00:43:13,200 --> 00:43:16,799 Speaker 1: So you know Gifford will be probably there. You don't 897 00:43:16,840 --> 00:43:19,000 Speaker 1: have a lot of other linebackers that are doing Jibril Cox, 898 00:43:19,560 --> 00:43:22,440 Speaker 1: so it might be a situation of can I keep 899 00:43:22,520 --> 00:43:25,680 Speaker 1: this many linebackers active. I can't keep Gifford and Cox active. 900 00:43:26,040 --> 00:43:28,360 Speaker 1: So maybe Ralston's a guys on my third back a 901 00:43:28,480 --> 00:43:31,880 Speaker 1: full back, but also my L four or whatever. So 902 00:43:31,960 --> 00:43:33,560 Speaker 1: it's just it's he may be the kind of guy 903 00:43:33,600 --> 00:43:35,279 Speaker 1: that you start like that. Again, you're going to have 904 00:43:35,400 --> 00:43:37,600 Speaker 1: all those guys you're listed at the back of these 905 00:43:37,680 --> 00:43:39,840 Speaker 1: depth charts, and then you're going to figure out, like 906 00:43:39,920 --> 00:43:42,040 Speaker 1: which of the best of those that I need to keep, 907 00:43:42,160 --> 00:43:44,880 Speaker 1: like which can I use the most in specific situation. 908 00:43:45,000 --> 00:43:47,000 Speaker 1: So he's probably going to be a practice squad guy 909 00:43:47,080 --> 00:43:48,920 Speaker 1: though that they you know, and I think all practice 910 00:43:48,920 --> 00:43:50,800 Speaker 1: squad guys will travel to the games like they have 911 00:43:50,880 --> 00:43:52,840 Speaker 1: in the past. It might be a situation where if 912 00:43:52,840 --> 00:43:55,680 Speaker 1: they need him, he comes up. But practice squad doesn't 913 00:43:55,719 --> 00:43:58,800 Speaker 1: mean what it used to mean, right, McCarthy's said it 914 00:43:58,920 --> 00:44:01,000 Speaker 1: more times than I can count. You know, we needed 915 00:44:01,160 --> 00:44:04,399 Speaker 1: seventy seven guys to win the Super Bowl in twenty ten, 916 00:44:04,440 --> 00:44:07,560 Speaker 1: and like, you know, things are going to come up, 917 00:44:07,640 --> 00:44:09,720 Speaker 1: and the fact that you can move guys as easily 918 00:44:09,800 --> 00:44:12,320 Speaker 1: as you can now, you know, even on Sunday morning, 919 00:44:12,600 --> 00:44:17,560 Speaker 1: right Like yeah, so, um, yeah, I'd be pretty surprised 920 00:44:17,560 --> 00:44:19,160 Speaker 1: if he made the roster. But he does seem like 921 00:44:19,239 --> 00:44:22,080 Speaker 1: he's doing the most with his opportunities. He's had a 922 00:44:22,160 --> 00:44:25,000 Speaker 1: few really nice blocks in both of these last two games. 923 00:44:25,560 --> 00:44:28,960 Speaker 1: Three Three things that have helped his cause other than 924 00:44:29,040 --> 00:44:32,640 Speaker 1: the stuff he's done. Say, well, Alana lou as a 925 00:44:32,680 --> 00:44:36,120 Speaker 1: fullback that I got banged up. Now Rico Daddle is injured. 926 00:44:36,200 --> 00:44:39,160 Speaker 1: So I'm not saying he's a tailback, but he could 927 00:44:39,239 --> 00:44:42,560 Speaker 1: maybe do emergency carries if you needed it. And also 928 00:44:43,160 --> 00:44:46,000 Speaker 1: Sean McEwan as a as a tight end that's banged up. 929 00:44:46,400 --> 00:44:48,920 Speaker 1: He's he's played that h back role tied in as 930 00:44:48,960 --> 00:44:51,080 Speaker 1: well in college too, So it's a lot to throw 931 00:44:51,160 --> 00:44:54,000 Speaker 1: on his plate. But I'm just saying you need those 932 00:44:54,080 --> 00:44:57,320 Speaker 1: glue guys like that, But he's got a shot. Ralston 933 00:44:57,400 --> 00:45:00,759 Speaker 1: could be that guy until McEwan it's ready to come 934 00:45:00,800 --> 00:45:03,719 Speaker 1: back for sure, exactly. Yeah. And that's the thing, like 935 00:45:04,040 --> 00:45:05,840 Speaker 1: you started looking at this team, I don't know that 936 00:45:05,880 --> 00:45:07,560 Speaker 1: they're going to be lined up a lot in twenty 937 00:45:07,600 --> 00:45:10,040 Speaker 1: one personnel unless you got Pollard and Zeke on the field. 938 00:45:10,320 --> 00:45:12,719 Speaker 1: I think it predominantly like they were last year, predominantly 939 00:45:12,800 --> 00:45:15,799 Speaker 1: eleven personnel. You've got three wide receivers and one running back. 940 00:45:16,200 --> 00:45:17,680 Speaker 1: Maybe go to twelve if you want to put your 941 00:45:17,680 --> 00:45:19,320 Speaker 1: two tight ends on the field. But I don't know 942 00:45:19,360 --> 00:45:20,759 Speaker 1: how much of a role there's going to be for 943 00:45:20,800 --> 00:45:22,799 Speaker 1: somebody to like a Nick Ralston just because I don't 944 00:45:22,800 --> 00:45:24,080 Speaker 1: I don't know that they're gonna want to do that 945 00:45:24,239 --> 00:45:26,959 Speaker 1: very often every year I hide myself up like there's 946 00:45:26,960 --> 00:45:29,320 Speaker 1: always a fullback that I love, Like, you know, my 947 00:45:29,560 --> 00:45:32,880 Speaker 1: LSU guy j C. Copeland was here years ago, it 948 00:45:33,120 --> 00:45:35,840 Speaker 1: was Jamais Ola Walley for a couple of years. I 949 00:45:36,520 --> 00:45:39,600 Speaker 1: was super excited about what Shawoe brought to the table. 950 00:45:40,280 --> 00:45:42,640 Speaker 1: Oh how can I leave out Beef Keith Smith? I 951 00:45:42,719 --> 00:45:46,080 Speaker 1: love it. But again, like we're talking about like eleven 952 00:45:46,200 --> 00:45:48,160 Speaker 1: plays on the year, you know, like it just it 953 00:45:48,320 --> 00:45:51,040 Speaker 1: hasn't been something that they've really put an emphasis on 954 00:45:51,640 --> 00:45:53,840 Speaker 1: in a long time. Yeah, unless they change what they 955 00:45:53,920 --> 00:45:57,520 Speaker 1: do offensively, their offensive scheme strategy, Like it just doesn't 956 00:45:57,520 --> 00:45:59,160 Speaker 1: seem like that's a part of what they what they like. 957 00:45:59,280 --> 00:46:03,320 Speaker 1: But but he's guy that will play Sunday, did this 958 00:46:03,440 --> 00:46:08,239 Speaker 1: Sun preseason against Jacksonville. He'll play a lot in this game. 959 00:46:08,280 --> 00:46:11,080 Speaker 1: And I mean there's not many guys that are that 960 00:46:11,200 --> 00:46:13,560 Speaker 1: are you would say, really playing for a chance to 961 00:46:13,719 --> 00:46:17,160 Speaker 1: make the team. Um, there's probably I would say ten 962 00:46:17,320 --> 00:46:18,920 Speaker 1: or so I will say this. The running back position 963 00:46:19,000 --> 00:46:21,279 Speaker 1: now looks a little interesting for this Sunday because those 964 00:46:21,320 --> 00:46:24,360 Speaker 1: guys probably rob meet at this point. It's opportunity, did 965 00:46:24,440 --> 00:46:27,160 Speaker 1: you see? It was a really funny exchange in McCarthy's 966 00:46:27,160 --> 00:46:31,960 Speaker 1: press conference, Babelffenberg asked him about he was asking about 967 00:46:32,000 --> 00:46:35,080 Speaker 1: his career. He was like, are there any players that 968 00:46:35,239 --> 00:46:38,239 Speaker 1: you can remember like legitimately playing their way onto the 969 00:46:38,360 --> 00:46:40,800 Speaker 1: roster in the fourth preseason game? And Mike thought he 970 00:46:40,880 --> 00:46:42,719 Speaker 1: was talking about right now. He was like, why would 971 00:46:42,760 --> 00:46:44,239 Speaker 1: I Why would I tell you that? Why would I 972 00:46:44,360 --> 00:46:45,960 Speaker 1: give you the names of the guys that I think 973 00:46:46,000 --> 00:46:48,480 Speaker 1: could do that? And Babe was like, no, I'm you know, 974 00:46:48,640 --> 00:46:50,440 Speaker 1: you've commen in a head coach for fifteen years. And 975 00:46:50,560 --> 00:46:53,000 Speaker 1: he was like, oh, oh my god. I and he 976 00:46:53,160 --> 00:46:55,399 Speaker 1: realized it. But and then he started listing off names 977 00:46:55,440 --> 00:46:59,279 Speaker 1: like Sam Shields had a couple quarterbacks in Green Bay. 978 00:47:00,360 --> 00:47:03,400 Speaker 1: He was like, yeah, like this, this is a legitimate opportunity, 979 00:47:03,480 --> 00:47:06,440 Speaker 1: Like guys can change your opinion in this game. I 980 00:47:06,520 --> 00:47:09,919 Speaker 1: remember one and Parcels a year two thousand and three. 981 00:47:10,160 --> 00:47:13,400 Speaker 1: I mean, he did not care for this receiver, Reggie Swinton, 982 00:47:13,400 --> 00:47:15,400 Speaker 1: who had been here for a couple of years. Reggie 983 00:47:15,400 --> 00:47:17,040 Speaker 1: and it was a good return guy. Yeah, it was 984 00:47:17,080 --> 00:47:20,120 Speaker 1: a fourth game. It was like an right return or 985 00:47:20,239 --> 00:47:22,640 Speaker 1: middle return. He took the ball supposed to go to 986 00:47:22,680 --> 00:47:25,440 Speaker 1: the middle, he just said screw that, and he just 987 00:47:25,640 --> 00:47:27,479 Speaker 1: totally went to the left side, went around the corner, 988 00:47:27,520 --> 00:47:29,719 Speaker 1: went ninety yards for a touchdown. Made the team. There 989 00:47:29,760 --> 00:47:33,240 Speaker 1: we go, I mean, well, how about another guy? Actually, 990 00:47:33,440 --> 00:47:35,680 Speaker 1: that's right about another guy that I'm actually working on 991 00:47:35,840 --> 00:47:37,759 Speaker 1: a documentary. I thought that's where you were going. Yeah, 992 00:47:37,760 --> 00:47:40,560 Speaker 1: I thought that's where you Yeah, it was. I was 993 00:47:40,560 --> 00:47:43,000 Speaker 1: starting to question myself, like, was that the fourth preseason game? 994 00:47:43,040 --> 00:47:45,200 Speaker 1: I was like, I'm pretty sure, but definitely was. And 995 00:47:45,280 --> 00:47:47,920 Speaker 1: the ball actually he was not the return man. The 996 00:47:47,960 --> 00:47:50,640 Speaker 1: ball just bounced into his lap and he turned and 997 00:47:51,200 --> 00:47:54,400 Speaker 1: ran ran for a touchdown. Yeah. And um, and we 998 00:47:54,480 --> 00:47:56,759 Speaker 1: got a good documentary coming out next week about his 999 00:47:56,960 --> 00:48:00,520 Speaker 1: life story.

You've seen, I mean, I'll 1022 00:48:58,600 --> 00:49:01,800 Speaker 1: just tell you this.

They would have had dak or Zeke yep. 1038 00:49:43,840 --> 00:49:46,680 Speaker 1: And it was very close to doing that. So just 1039 00:49:46,800 --> 00:49:49,120 Speaker 1: a lot of things like that, and it's it was 1040 00:49:49,280 --> 00:49:52,279 Speaker 1: really fun to go down that rabbit hole and actually, um, 1041 00:49:52,600 --> 00:49:54,440 Speaker 1: you know see some of these stories.
