00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:55,280
Speaker 1: in Oxnard, California. It's a beautiful day. Cowboys take the

00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:59,240
Speaker 1: field again this afternoon. Um they have, they were off yesterday.

00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:01,120
Speaker 1: They'll be out for walk through this morning and then

00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:09,480
Speaker 1: be here to cover it all. But for the next

16
00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:11,840
Speaker 1: hour we're talking Cowboys football with you, guys. How's everybody

17
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:17,399
Speaker 1: feeling this morning? Outstanding? Outstanding as great? Cold? No, yeah, cool?

18
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:19,320
Speaker 1: All right, we got a lot we want to talk

19
00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:22,040
Speaker 1: about today. We are now a quarter of the way

20
00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:25,120
Speaker 1: through training camp practices, and so we're gonna do a

21
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:28,280
Speaker 1: quarterly review. I have a lot of questions I'm gonna

22
00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:30,960
Speaker 1: throw at these guys. We're gonna see what their thoughts are.

23
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:32,640
Speaker 1: It's gonna give you guys a full picture of the

24
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:35,920
Speaker 1: kinds of things we've seen over these first four practices

25
00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:38,319
Speaker 1: that the Cowboys have had in ox RD. But before

26
00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:40,560
Speaker 1: we get to that, I do also want to make

27
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:43,640
Speaker 1: a quick programming note. This morning we put out the

28
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:46,960
Speaker 1: first edition of a program that actually Nick is running

29
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:50,360
Speaker 1: point on with our our production team, called The Process. Nick,

30
00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:52,040
Speaker 1: you want to tell people what the process is and

31
00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:54,440
Speaker 1: what they should expect from this show. Well, as they've

32
00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:57,800
Speaker 1: heard of the term several times, everything we do here

33
00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:01,120
Speaker 1: is a process and that stems from obviously really Jason Garrett.

34
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:04,240
Speaker 1: But he's right, you know, he just says that a lot.

35
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:07,040
Speaker 1: But that's why everyone kind of makes fun of the name.

36
00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 1: But um, the process is something we've been working on

37
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:14,880
Speaker 1: here this last week, just trying to go behind the

38
00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:19,119
Speaker 1: scenes as much as possible. Again, as much as possible

39
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:23,160
Speaker 1: mud whether it be you know, the team traveling to

40
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:26,160
Speaker 1: California or inside some of the meeting rooms. I know

41
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:28,600
Speaker 1: one of the things was Jerry Jones addressing to the

42
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:31,679
Speaker 1: team got kind of emotional to the team, and we

43
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:34,560
Speaker 1: captured that. We have Jason Garrett talking to the team

44
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:37,639
Speaker 1: and uh huddle, Gary Brown miked up. There's some there's

45
00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:39,880
Speaker 1: some really good segments there, and we're gonna try to

46
00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:43,120
Speaker 1: do that here throughout training camp. So you've seen that

47
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:46,919
Speaker 1: the show. It's nothing, you know, unique, but it's unique,

48
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:48,240
Speaker 1: I guess for us to do it out here with

49
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:50,400
Speaker 1: the Cowboys and for us to do it. Yeah. One

50
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:52,880
Speaker 1: piece that thought was really interesting was the piece that

51
00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:56,520
Speaker 1: started with the running backs uh sitting having a barbecue

52
00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:59,119
Speaker 1: dinner And actually we shot that back in June when

53
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:01,560
Speaker 1: Zeke was still with the team, and some really good

54
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:04,520
Speaker 1: Footish man I tweeted that this morning that although you

55
00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:06,000
Speaker 1: kind of see a piece of that and here's some

56
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:08,640
Speaker 1: of that conversation that happened, there's a longer piece to

57
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:10,200
Speaker 1: that we're going to probably put out a little later

58
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:13,080
Speaker 1: this summer, hopefully by the n Zeke might be back

59
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:15,320
Speaker 1: with the team, right and we'll have a little more

60
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:18,720
Speaker 1: to show you guys. But actually maybe you speak right

61
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:21,240
Speaker 1: and but it was but a really good video and

62
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:23,280
Speaker 1: good job with that, you guys can expect it. We'll

63
00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:25,440
Speaker 1: be doing those every week throughout training camp for the

64
00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:28,240
Speaker 1: next four or five weeks. So you check that out

65
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:29,760
Speaker 1: and you can see it on any one of our platforms.

66
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:32,639
Speaker 1: You got our website, mobile app, connected TV, all that stuff.

67
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:35,200
Speaker 1: All right, So let's start, as we normally start, with

68
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:37,280
Speaker 1: a little bit of blanket coverage. I have some statements

69
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:39,000
Speaker 1: for you guys that will be a blank You fill

70
00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:42,680
Speaker 1: in the blank. The first statement, Michael Thomas, wide receiver

71
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:45,640
Speaker 1: for the Saints, signed a five year extension worth one

72
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:48,480
Speaker 1: hundred million dollars over five years, averaging about twenty million

73
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:52,760
Speaker 1: a year, with sixty one million guaranteed. A Marie Cooper

74
00:03:52,800 --> 00:04:00,320
Speaker 1: should expect blank Dave, Amari Cooper should expect the lore

75
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:02,480
Speaker 1: of his deal to have raised a little bit. But

76
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:05,920
Speaker 1: I think I think he already knew that. You know this,

77
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:07,760
Speaker 1: We knew this was coming. We knew the Saints we're

78
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:11,960
Speaker 1: gonna get it done. We also know Amari Cooper is

79
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:13,400
Speaker 1: not going to set the receiver market. I don't like

80
00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 1: nobody in the world expects that to happen. I don't

81
00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:18,200
Speaker 1: think even Amari does. But it just raises the floor

82
00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:21,320
Speaker 1: of what you're capable of asking for. Odell Beckham used

83
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:25,320
Speaker 1: to set the market at eighteen. Now that's second, and

84
00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:27,960
Speaker 1: so now you know sixteen, all of a sudden, fifteen

85
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:31,960
Speaker 1: to seventeen doesn't look so shiny. So no, he's not

86
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:34,919
Speaker 1: gonna set the market. But somewhere between seventeen and eighteen

87
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:38,599
Speaker 1: per years probably what I think Amario'll get. So again

88
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:40,440
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't think it's a big surprise, but

89
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:44,000
Speaker 1: it raises the minimum of what he's capable of asking for.

90
00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 1: Amar should expect what Nick something soon? I mean, I

91
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:51,280
Speaker 1: think it's kind of what they were waiting for, right,

92
00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:54,599
Speaker 1: I don't think, and Cooper is not really in a

93
00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:59,400
Speaker 1: big hurry, but I don't know if O'Dell's making eighteens.

94
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:02,680
Speaker 1: See Odell's the one that's gonna come come back in

95
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:04,800
Speaker 1: this whole deal and want to go over the top

96
00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:06,960
Speaker 1: on that. Well, Julio is still out there as well.

97
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:09,159
Speaker 1: He's asked for a new Dealio is another one to watch.

98
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:12,280
Speaker 1: But I don't think that matters. I really don't, because

99
00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:14,080
Speaker 1: Julio is going to go over that, and I don't

100
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:17,159
Speaker 1: think Cooper goes over that. I mean, I think Cooper

101
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:19,400
Speaker 1: is sitting at so you don't think, because that would

102
00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:22,640
Speaker 1: raise an interesting question if you think that Amari at

103
00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:24,480
Speaker 1: the end of the day, wants to be the highest

104
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:27,800
Speaker 1: paid receiver, and he waits for Julio, and Julio goes

105
00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:29,720
Speaker 1: over there. Does I don't don't think that, And I

106
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:31,760
Speaker 1: think he's kind of come out and said that. I mean,

107
00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:35,320
Speaker 1: nothing about the way he has behaved or talked to

108
00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:39,560
Speaker 1: this offseason suggests he wants that. I like, it's like

109
00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:42,039
Speaker 1: he's just he's the simplest one for me, because like

110
00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:44,240
Speaker 1: he's not making a fuss. I don't think even his

111
00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:46,240
Speaker 1: agent thinks he's supposed to be the highest paid when

112
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:48,720
Speaker 1: you look at what Michael Thomas has done for the

113
00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:51,240
Speaker 1: first three years of his career, when you look at

114
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:54,159
Speaker 1: what Julio Jones has done for a decade, at this point,

115
00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:58,080
Speaker 1: he should probably be somewhere between three and six. And

116
00:05:58,120 --> 00:05:59,560
Speaker 1: I think that's where he will be when it's all

117
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:02,400
Speaker 1: said and done. It's the same thing for Dak Prescott

118
00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:05,240
Speaker 1: for that matter. It's just that everybody kind of agrees

119
00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:08,520
Speaker 1: on Coop, whereas very few people have can figure out

120
00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:11,120
Speaker 1: how they feel about Dak Amber Amari Cooper should expect

121
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:15,240
Speaker 1: a crop ton of money. Very simple, I'll be honest.

122
00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:18,559
Speaker 1: I mean, I just think that either way, he's gonna

123
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:24,680
Speaker 1: make a ton of money and yeah it doesn't matter. Yeah,

124
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:26,680
Speaker 1: it's crab ton of money. Yeah. And you know, when

125
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:29,799
Speaker 1: it comes to contract talks and money and cap salary

126
00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:33,520
Speaker 1: and blah blah blah, I'm not an expert. I would

127
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:35,280
Speaker 1: have said the other word. Yeah, I know you would have.

128
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:38,560
Speaker 1: But you know, I keep, I try to keep. You

129
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:41,200
Speaker 1: appreciate that. Yeah, all right, So here's the next statement.

130
00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:45,080
Speaker 1: Steven's response to the contract, when asked if it raises

131
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:47,920
Speaker 1: the price for Mari, was no, I think it's probably

132
00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:50,160
Speaker 1: in line with what we were thinking. I've got a

133
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:53,960
Speaker 1: little better number than that a Mari should expect blank.

134
00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:59,760
Speaker 1: Nick after hearing what Steven says Steven, after hearing what

135
00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:02,080
Speaker 1: Steve even said, does that change what a mare he

136
00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:04,919
Speaker 1: should expect? Is what I'm asking. But here was Steven's quote, again, No,

137
00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:07,400
Speaker 1: I think it's probably in line with what we were thinking.

138
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:11,880
Speaker 1: I've got a little better number than that. I've got

139
00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:13,960
Speaker 1: a better number than that. Is he talking about him

140
00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:17,880
Speaker 1: talking about He was asked about specifically Michael Thomas's deal,

141
00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:22,080
Speaker 1: and in this response to whether he thinks that affects

142
00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:24,240
Speaker 1: what they were going to do with a Mari His

143
00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:26,960
Speaker 1: response was, no, I think it's probably in line with

144
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:29,360
Speaker 1: what we were thinking. I've got a little better number.

145
00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:32,160
Speaker 1: Part it's fine, that's a find number. Yeah, I don't

146
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:34,240
Speaker 1: know what that means, because I will be shocked if

147
00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:38,160
Speaker 1: a Mari's deal tops Thomas's. Maybe really, because that's what

148
00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:40,840
Speaker 1: That's the impression I got from the quote was we

149
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:42,880
Speaker 1: actually were thinking a little bit more than It's almost

150
00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:45,520
Speaker 1: like I've got a better idea now, like it's like

151
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:48,400
Speaker 1: he's got a better idea, because why would he say that?

152
00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:54,440
Speaker 1: Though he also said he said probably in the same interview,

153
00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:55,920
Speaker 1: if I had to guess, he said, and we're damn

154
00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:57,800
Speaker 1: sure not going to be market setters. That was the

155
00:07:57,880 --> 00:07:59,840
Speaker 1: art that was for any of those guys, which that

156
00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:02,720
Speaker 1: which is why I'll be shot. I mean, I don't

157
00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:07,840
Speaker 1: expect him the top uh um Thomas. So maybe he's

158
00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:10,800
Speaker 1: talking about more guarantees. Maybe, And you know, Jerry and

159
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:14,800
Speaker 1: Stephen Jones have been quick to mention the marketing aspect

160
00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:17,240
Speaker 1: that comes along with being a cornerstone from Cowboys, so

161
00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:19,120
Speaker 1: maybe he was talking about that. Why do I feel

162
00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:22,080
Speaker 1: like his jersey number is gonna be in in play here?

163
00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:23,600
Speaker 1: And why do I feel like it's gonna be that.

164
00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:26,600
Speaker 1: It's gonna be the round nineteen nineteen for nineteen, Like,

165
00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:28,760
Speaker 1: I just feel like that's affect I like nineteen for

166
00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:31,600
Speaker 1: nineteen and nineteen in nineteen. I didn't think about that. Damn. Yeah,

167
00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:33,680
Speaker 1: we got a lot of lever. Let's do it. Get

168
00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:37,320
Speaker 1: the graphic people working on it. All right, let's jump

169
00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:39,920
Speaker 1: into our quarterly review. I have us some questions here.

170
00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:44,320
Speaker 1: It's roughly about eight or nine questions made. The point

171
00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:46,400
Speaker 1: is to make you think I'm gonna make you gift

172
00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:49,440
Speaker 1: thoughtful answers. Can you do that? Yeah? And just I

173
00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:51,480
Speaker 1: helped you with them, so yeah, I can only help

174
00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:53,520
Speaker 1: me with two of them. Okay, I want to quibble room,

175
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:56,360
Speaker 1: that's not fair. If you prepare for well, we're gonna

176
00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:58,000
Speaker 1: be fine. Don't worry. Well he wrote a couple of them.

177
00:08:58,000 --> 00:08:59,959
Speaker 1: Go ahead, how about I was in the tent before

178
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:03,960
Speaker 1: the shows. It's two practices. It's two practices, not for

179
00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:07,240
Speaker 1: right routes on air don't count. So like to call

180
00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:10,199
Speaker 1: this a quarterly review feels, you know, I feel like

181
00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:13,800
Speaker 1: sixteen practices they've had. I know I knew you were

182
00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:16,960
Speaker 1: gonna lay all right. I feel like I should no

183
00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:19,400
Speaker 1: way more from this team right now, and I don't

184
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:24,520
Speaker 1: can only watch two I will. I will say this too, Lamber.

185
00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:26,280
Speaker 1: I actually feel the exact same way as I was

186
00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:28,400
Speaker 1: writing some of these. Some of these are going to

187
00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:30,640
Speaker 1: rely on you taking kind of what you know of

188
00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:33,079
Speaker 1: the player from last year, what you know of them

189
00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:36,000
Speaker 1: from the offseason, and then compare that to the two

190
00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:38,360
Speaker 1: practices you've had to see if that corroborates what you

191
00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:41,720
Speaker 1: can involves a great game. All right, let's do it.

192
00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:43,600
Speaker 1: I think this is a good idea and a great game.

193
00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:45,079
Speaker 1: You're doing it. Guess why you and I've been doing

194
00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:48,520
Speaker 1: this for fifteen years. It's because Dave, you should know

195
00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:51,360
Speaker 1: by now. As soon as you start questioning this, he's like, well,

196
00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:54,719
Speaker 1: you know what tomorrow to show, right exactly, And I'll

197
00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:57,480
Speaker 1: be sitting over here like talking about let's go right

198
00:09:57,559 --> 00:10:00,520
Speaker 1: here we go. First question, who's more prime for a

199
00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:07,920
Speaker 1: breakout year? Xavier Woods or Connor Williams. Xavier Woods because

200
00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:10,800
Speaker 1: he plays a position that enables him to do that.

201
00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:14,160
Speaker 1: I mean, you know nobody looks at offensive line except

202
00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:17,200
Speaker 1: for the tip us. Well yeah, I mean obviously people do,

203
00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:20,800
Speaker 1: but it's way harder to stand out, especially when there's

204
00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:24,160
Speaker 1: so many other great players on that offensive line, but

205
00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:26,000
Speaker 1: let's put it all in relative terms. And I'm not

206
00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:29,720
Speaker 1: talking so much about for the purposes of fan fair

207
00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:33,360
Speaker 1: I'm talking more from the purposes of an evaluator who's

208
00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:35,360
Speaker 1: looking at this team and saying, man, this player went

209
00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:37,480
Speaker 1: from being a decent player to being a really great

210
00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:41,080
Speaker 1: player who's had the who's in, who's better prepared to

211
00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:43,160
Speaker 1: have that kind of breakout year. The last thing we

212
00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:45,880
Speaker 1: saw before the off day was Xavier Woods pick six.

213
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:48,040
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott read him like a book. It was a

214
00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:50,240
Speaker 1: beautiful play and he was I mean, he's he has

215
00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:52,840
Speaker 1: gotten better every year of his career. They didn't draft

216
00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:54,920
Speaker 1: the safety because that's how in love they are with

217
00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:58,080
Speaker 1: Xavier Woods. That's Chris Richard, that's coming out of his mouth.

218
00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:03,800
Speaker 1: So Savior Woods. All right, Amber, Well, I'm gonna go

219
00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:09,000
Speaker 1: with Connor. I mean why because we're buddies now, he's

220
00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:12,520
Speaker 1: my buddy. No, no, no, I think he's made you

221
00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:16,880
Speaker 1: can tell and with us just seeing two practices here,

222
00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:20,280
Speaker 1: you can already tell the difference between last year and

223
00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:23,440
Speaker 1: the change in his body and the strength that he

224
00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:26,680
Speaker 1: has gained. Yes, Xavier Woods, I like what I've seen

225
00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:29,079
Speaker 1: so far, but I don't want to get too excited

226
00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:32,600
Speaker 1: just yet, because I've seen that happen before, where you're

227
00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:35,520
Speaker 1: at training camp and you're making place, intercepting the ball

228
00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:37,880
Speaker 1: and this and that, but then once the season comes,

229
00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:41,079
Speaker 1: it kind of fades away and disappears a little bit.

230
00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:44,120
Speaker 1: So I'm not ready to jump on that train of

231
00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:46,720
Speaker 1: the Xavier Woods have faith in him. I like what

232
00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:49,880
Speaker 1: I see so far, but let's wait a little bit.

233
00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:52,560
Speaker 1: The one thing I will say that that might make

234
00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:54,520
Speaker 1: you feel a little bit better about that is usually

235
00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:56,320
Speaker 1: I agree with you. But usually when you see that,

236
00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:59,680
Speaker 1: it's skill position, it's defensive backs, it's those kind of guys.

237
00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:03,760
Speaker 1: It's rare that you see an offensive lineman looking good

238
00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:05,400
Speaker 1: in camp and then all of a sudden in the

239
00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:08,280
Speaker 1: season he's not right, um, because looking good in camp

240
00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:11,000
Speaker 1: is just all about bullying people, basically. Yeah, and I

241
00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:12,880
Speaker 1: And that's the one thing I've been excited to see

242
00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:14,559
Speaker 1: out here, Like there have been a couple of times

243
00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:17,080
Speaker 1: when I've seen him, like Nick says, he just basically

244
00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:20,160
Speaker 1: locks down, like he sits down and the guy doesn't move.

245
00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:22,040
Speaker 1: You didn't see that a lot from Connor last year.

246
00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:24,480
Speaker 1: It looks like different. He looks very very strong and stout.

247
00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:26,400
Speaker 1: And that's the part that I really love about him.

248
00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:29,600
Speaker 1: Nick Connor Um he has a golf cart, and and

249
00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:31,880
Speaker 1: and and he has a golf cart. Explain that the

250
00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:35,000
Speaker 1: golf cart means that these are the Conditioning UM Strength

251
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:37,560
Speaker 1: and Conditioning Award winners for the season. He's the guy

252
00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:39,760
Speaker 1: that that worked really really hard. Not to say that

253
00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:44,400
Speaker 1: any of the guys didn't. Does he I don't think.

254
00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:48,040
Speaker 1: I don't think he does either way. I mean Connor

255
00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:50,120
Speaker 1: needed to get a little stronger. He did. When you

256
00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:52,440
Speaker 1: look at the Rams game last year. He played well

257
00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:54,839
Speaker 1: in that game against a pretty decent player and Aaron

258
00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:59,240
Speaker 1: Donald joke and h Xavier Woods struggled a little bit

259
00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:00,959
Speaker 1: if I remember Bird some of the some of the

260
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:04,120
Speaker 1: plays in the open field. Also, Xavier Woods plays next

261
00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:07,320
Speaker 1: to Jeff Heath and he played and he plays next

262
00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:10,200
Speaker 1: to Tyron Smith. So I think you have better you

263
00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:12,000
Speaker 1: have a better chance to play to look good when

264
00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:15,520
Speaker 1: you play next to Tyron Smith and and Travis Well

265
00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:19,760
Speaker 1: maybe yeah, yeah, you're breaking news here. No, I'm just

266
00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:22,480
Speaker 1: saying maybe. I mean a long way to go because

267
00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:28,640
Speaker 1: smiss one of them all right now, and I don't

268
00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:31,040
Speaker 1: want to. I love that you guys are picking Connor

269
00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:32,800
Speaker 1: and I mean, I'm sorry, yeah, picking Connor. But I

270
00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:35,320
Speaker 1: also I want to reiterate what Dave saying, like Xavier,

271
00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:37,920
Speaker 1: he's looked really good out here too, and he's a

272
00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:40,080
Speaker 1: guy that they believe in quite a big play along

273
00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:42,000
Speaker 1: somebody these two. You can answer, yeah, I might answer

274
00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:45,600
Speaker 1: after I have been giving your perspective my perspective throughout

275
00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:48,400
Speaker 1: all right, here's the second question, more impression, I'm sorry,

276
00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:51,440
Speaker 1: more impressive unit thus far through as a Dave says,

277
00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:54,880
Speaker 1: to training camp practice and you got defensive backs, offensive

278
00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:59,120
Speaker 1: line or linebackers, who's been more impressive? And Bro'll start

279
00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:05,440
Speaker 1: with you, uh honest, Well, because of what I've been

280
00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:09,160
Speaker 1: paying more attention to, I would say the old line.

281
00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:11,640
Speaker 1: I mean, when they go on those one on ones,

282
00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:14,960
Speaker 1: you cannot not watch. You have to be locked in

283
00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:17,560
Speaker 1: on what they're doing and just watching. I mean, it's

284
00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:21,000
Speaker 1: amazing how powerful and strong they are and they will

285
00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:26,400
Speaker 1: dominate you. So old line for me, Nick, Yeah, the

286
00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:30,119
Speaker 1: old line is what we're seeing, um that they're dominating

287
00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:33,320
Speaker 1: a lot more. I will say that, you know, Crawford

288
00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:36,400
Speaker 1: and d Law not being out there kind of affects

289
00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:39,240
Speaker 1: that and you could say, Frederick, you know, probably it

290
00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:42,320
Speaker 1: hasn't been out there either, but um, you just see

291
00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:48,120
Speaker 1: you see the defensive backs struggle some um the linebackers.

292
00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:50,520
Speaker 1: That's just tough right now to tell that one. The

293
00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:52,960
Speaker 1: offensive line is given you to me the best perspective

294
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:55,720
Speaker 1: of what they're doing, So I would say them, it

295
00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:58,240
Speaker 1: is the old line, But shout out to the dbs.

296
00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:01,040
Speaker 1: They got two picks at the last p so they've

297
00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:05,240
Speaker 1: done some stuff. Linebacker is the absolute hardest position to

298
00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:09,280
Speaker 1: shine in training camp, but Layton and Jalen just look

299
00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:12,000
Speaker 1: like athletic super freaks out there. They don't get to

300
00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:14,520
Speaker 1: do anything, but they look impressive. But it's though line.

301
00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:17,240
Speaker 1: How surprising is it to you that the defensive backs

302
00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:19,720
Speaker 1: have looked as good as they have and they're arguably

303
00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:24,280
Speaker 1: their best player isn't even out there. Yeah, I mean

304
00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:28,440
Speaker 1: not that surprising because I think if you were to say,

305
00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:30,960
Speaker 1: what's you know, who's the Who's the coach that that

306
00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:33,120
Speaker 1: you know is kind of gets the most out of

307
00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:36,240
Speaker 1: his players, you know, you would say maybe Christopher Shard.

308
00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:37,960
Speaker 1: I mean, he just does a really great job. You

309
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:39,760
Speaker 1: can see it by just being out here. How good

310
00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:42,040
Speaker 1: he is as a coach, and so his units aren't

311
00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:44,680
Speaker 1: gonna suck, you know the matter why they're just not

312
00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:46,880
Speaker 1: going to and he's going to be you know, he

313
00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:50,240
Speaker 1: takes this thing, you know, very seriously every practice, and

314
00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:54,320
Speaker 1: so it doesn't surprise me. But there's some good battles.

315
00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:56,920
Speaker 1: I mean, they've they've given up some some big plays.

316
00:15:57,000 --> 00:15:58,960
Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not part of being a defensive back.

317
00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:01,240
Speaker 1: I don't care who you are, you're gonna give up plays.

318
00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:03,440
Speaker 1: The point is you better win some too. And they're

319
00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:05,880
Speaker 1: winning something I'm not ready to say. They're like balling

320
00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:08,160
Speaker 1: out of control with al Byron Jones, Like they got

321
00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:11,040
Speaker 1: two picks in team period. They also got dusted on

322
00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:14,720
Speaker 1: the first day multiple times. This is probably you know,

323
00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:16,720
Speaker 1: I've said it for years about oh let's get some

324
00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:18,920
Speaker 1: speed over here. This is probably the fastest group of

325
00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:21,800
Speaker 1: wide receivers that they've had from one to like ten

326
00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:25,400
Speaker 1: that I've seen that I can remember. Now a lot

327
00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:27,240
Speaker 1: of those guys are going to be off the team, though,

328
00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:31,320
Speaker 1: you know, some of the the guys that get cut

329
00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:33,640
Speaker 1: could probably make a four by you know, one hundred

330
00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:36,320
Speaker 1: meter relay team and beat the starters. I would love

331
00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:38,560
Speaker 1: to see that. They would definitely beat them, don't you.

332
00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:41,160
Speaker 1: I'm I don't know about definitely, but I'd love to watch.

333
00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:44,440
Speaker 1: Hell yeah, I mean Reggie Davis, John Vay, Jalen Guden

334
00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:49,080
Speaker 1: and those guys can run, and Devin Smith against Gallup

335
00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:52,600
Speaker 1: Cooper I have on. I might have to take the backups.

336
00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:55,360
Speaker 1: I don't know. I would love to watch that. That'd

337
00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:56,760
Speaker 1: be fun. All right, let's go ahead and take our

338
00:16:56,760 --> 00:16:59,000
Speaker 1: first break. When we come back, we will actually continue

339
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:00,880
Speaker 1: on that topic of the why receivers. I want to know,

340
00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:03,800
Speaker 1: outside of Amark Cooper, who's been the most impressive wide

341
00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:06,639
Speaker 1: receiver out here through the first two days of training

342
00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:08,320

401
00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:01,600
Speaker 1: let's get back in. We're do a quarterly review. We

402
00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:03,720
Speaker 1: got some questions that we've rolled out for these guys.

403
00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:07,600
Speaker 1: Our next question is, outside of Amari Cooper, which wide

404
00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:11,919
Speaker 1: receiver has been the most impressive through two training camp practices.

405
00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:19,000
Speaker 1: Michael Gallop. Michael Gallup. Michael gall Up. He looks great.

406
00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:21,640
Speaker 1: He look great in training camp last year. It's gonna

407
00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:25,679
Speaker 1: be about being consistent translating that to the to the

408
00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:27,639
Speaker 1: bright lights. I think he can do that. But his

409
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:31,159
Speaker 1: footwork is great. He doesn't like you know, he's not

410
00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:33,200
Speaker 1: as fast as some of these guys. He's not as

411
00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:36,760
Speaker 1: big as some of them. Um, he doesn't do like

412
00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:39,480
Speaker 1: the freakazoid catches at least not that I've seen yet.

413
00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:43,520
Speaker 1: But like he's just consistent and shifty and honestly that's him.

414
00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:45,760
Speaker 1: An Amari like Amar is like that too. Amar's not

415
00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:47,960
Speaker 1: the Dez type. I remember when Daz used to be

416
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:50,160
Speaker 1: out here at training camp. We do the Dez doing

417
00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:55,040
Speaker 1: Dez things right, that's not Amar either not. There's both technicians.

418
00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:58,399
Speaker 1: They they run good routes, they get open and they

419
00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:02,120
Speaker 1: catch the ball right. And Amari is a big, bulky

420
00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:04,760
Speaker 1: dude though, like I'm not maybe not as bulky as

421
00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:06,880
Speaker 1: like a Dez or a Julio Jones, but he's big,

422
00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:10,360
Speaker 1: like Michael Gallup is is pretty not unassuming. Yeah, Like

423
00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:11,840
Speaker 1: we saw him in the parking lot the other day

424
00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:14,399
Speaker 1: and we were like, whoa, Mike's really that tall. Like

425
00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:17,159
Speaker 1: I was walking right next to Layton, he was like,

426
00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:22,439
Speaker 1: not that much short. Similar, something's often's going wrong here

427
00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:25,480
Speaker 1: because Mike doesn't look that imposing on the field. Um,

428
00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:29,640
Speaker 1: but he's He's been nice out here for sure. Guys

429
00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:31,920
Speaker 1: are good. Just when you're talking about you know, Daz

430
00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:34,879
Speaker 1: doing Daz things and all that. I mean, Larry Fitzgerald's

431
00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:36,959
Speaker 1: been doing it for twenty years almost, you know, and

432
00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:40,040
Speaker 1: he's never really been the most impressive, but he just

433
00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:42,320
Speaker 1: you're right about being you know, a guy that could

434
00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:45,600
Speaker 1: just run routes and and it works. I mean, you know,

435
00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:47,639
Speaker 1: I guess you could say Jerry Rice was probably the

436
00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:51,200
Speaker 1: same way for being that way. I don't know. I'll

437
00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:54,400
Speaker 1: answer the question, Yes, we just compared Mike to Larry

438
00:21:54,440 --> 00:22:00,919
Speaker 1: Fitzgerald and Jerry Rice. I'm yeah, you just don't have

439
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:04,680
Speaker 1: to be this crazy freak all the time. Yeah, um,

440
00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:07,120
Speaker 1: I don't think. I don't think all the backup receivers

441
00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:09,679
Speaker 1: have been that consistent. So it's just a to me.

442
00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:11,720
Speaker 1: I mean, Gallop's a good answer. And then Cob, you

443
00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:14,840
Speaker 1: would say Cob, but Cob had a bad day. Yea, yeah,

444
00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:16,919
Speaker 1: really bad. I was going to ask that question of

445
00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:18,719
Speaker 1: what you guys think of Randall Cop because it was

446
00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:21,199
Speaker 1: I guess that was what was was that it was

447
00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:24,200
Speaker 1: it was the morning practice, but he had a he

448
00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:27,040
Speaker 1: had a really to me, it would really rough practice.

449
00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:28,719
Speaker 1: There were a lot of ball I think there were

450
00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:30,440
Speaker 1: two or three that went straight through his hand. He

451
00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:33,959
Speaker 1: was the reason for Dak's first pick right, and when

452
00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:35,720
Speaker 1: he just went right through his hands. He dropped a

453
00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:38,840
Speaker 1: third down conversion in the team period. Yeah, but I mean,

454
00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:41,400
Speaker 1: you know, it's it's been rough day. He's a decade

455
00:22:41,440 --> 00:22:43,879
Speaker 1: long vet with a Pro Bowl appearance under his belt. Like,

456
00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:45,879
Speaker 1: he's got to do way more than that before I

457
00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:48,359
Speaker 1: start to be worried about him. Right, Amber, tell me

458
00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:50,840
Speaker 1: what what what wide receiver that a mari has been

459
00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:53,320
Speaker 1: most impressive? Well, I would stake with Michael Gallup. I

460
00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:55,520
Speaker 1: think he has to. He has been the one that

461
00:22:55,560 --> 00:22:58,520
Speaker 1: has shown more things here. And what I like about

462
00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:01,640
Speaker 1: him is that he makes it seem effortless in a way.

463
00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:04,800
Speaker 1: He does thing and you don't see him like it's

464
00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:09,080
Speaker 1: nothing freakish like we said, but it just doesn't seem

465
00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:12,040
Speaker 1: like he's struggling for it or rushing for it. Just

466
00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:16,040
Speaker 1: it just happens natural. And of course, just like anybody else,

467
00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:17,840
Speaker 1: he needs to clean it up more and be more

468
00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:20,639
Speaker 1: consistent about it. But he has it. He has it.

469
00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:24,320
Speaker 1: Whatever it is for a receiver, he has it all. Right.

470
00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:27,240
Speaker 1: Next question, if you had to identify the area of

471
00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:30,840
Speaker 1: this team with the most questions, what would it be

472
00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:38,400
Speaker 1: special teams or running backs? Oh? Damn nice, We'll see

473
00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:40,720
Speaker 1: the thing about it. Nice question. I think initially you

474
00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:45,200
Speaker 1: think running backs obviously, right, but special teams, No, it

475
00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:49,600
Speaker 1: is probably special teams because am I thrilled about it? No,

476
00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:53,120
Speaker 1: but Alfred Morris has played in this league. Tony Pollard

477
00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:55,879
Speaker 1: was a fourth round pick for a reason. Like you

478
00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:58,159
Speaker 1: know that they can take the ball and run with it.

479
00:23:58,280 --> 00:24:00,560
Speaker 1: I don't know how good it'll look. I don't know.

480
00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:03,760
Speaker 1: We haven't had a kicker hit a one hundred percent

481
00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:05,960
Speaker 1: of his kicks out here yet this year, and Dan

482
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:08,920
Speaker 1: Bailey used to just do that like it was especially camp.

483
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:11,080
Speaker 1: We've made so many jokes about that's why we didn't.

484
00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:14,040
Speaker 1: We stopped watching special teams because like boom boom boom

485
00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:16,120
Speaker 1: boom boom boom boom. Cool, let's go do the other one.

486
00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:19,119
Speaker 1: Uh Maher has missed every day he's kicked, and so

487
00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:23,359
Speaker 1: is Casey Redfern. M Chris Jones. I'm not super worried

488
00:24:23,359 --> 00:24:28,080
Speaker 1: about Chris Jones. Chris Jones did have a he dipped

489
00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:31,000
Speaker 1: last year. He did. It's something to watch, um, but

490
00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:33,720
Speaker 1: it's so hard to gauge punting at training camp. I

491
00:24:33,760 --> 00:24:38,280
Speaker 1: know Casey Redfern punted for Chris on Tuesday and it

492
00:24:38,359 --> 00:24:42,359
Speaker 1: was kind of yeah, but you know he's back up

493
00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:44,320
Speaker 1: for a reason. I guess I'm not worried about Chris Jones.

494
00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:47,320
Speaker 1: I'm kind of worried about the kickers, all right, Amber

495
00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:53,000
Speaker 1: running backer kickers would have more more questions. That's so

496
00:24:53,359 --> 00:24:56,440
Speaker 1: close to each other that one's really hard. I think

497
00:24:56,480 --> 00:24:59,560
Speaker 1: that that you have the guys to do things with,

498
00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:04,400
Speaker 1: But I don't know. I wish I could talk more

499
00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:06,960
Speaker 1: about the kicker. I have not been watching them. It's

500
00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:09,280
Speaker 1: like we watch practice and then all of a sudden,

501
00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:11,680
Speaker 1: I forget that they're there kicking on the other side

502
00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:13,960
Speaker 1: of the field. I forgot about what got us into

503
00:25:13,960 --> 00:25:20,800
Speaker 1: this year. Yeah, but uh, I would probably say special

504
00:25:20,840 --> 00:25:23,800
Speaker 1: teams because at least with the running back, you you

505
00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:26,480
Speaker 1: can count on the O line to help you out

506
00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:29,240
Speaker 1: open up some holes for you. So I would just

507
00:25:29,359 --> 00:25:32,359
Speaker 1: think with the special teams, right, I think there's more questions.

508
00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:34,480
Speaker 1: I guess at running back. I mean because you said

509
00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:37,800
Speaker 1: special teams, so two of the three are set. You

510
00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:40,679
Speaker 1: know what they're going to be in. Maher will probably

511
00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:43,080
Speaker 1: be the guy. I think running back there's just more.

512
00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:45,719
Speaker 1: There's just more questions of how all that's gonna go.

513
00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:49,440
Speaker 1: Because you know your starters is in cobbo right now,

514
00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:53,280
Speaker 1: So do you expect him to be back? Yeah, but

515
00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:55,840
Speaker 1: but at what shape and what condition? I'm not sure?

516
00:25:55,840 --> 00:25:59,000
Speaker 1: And then what what how they're gonna get Pollered involved

517
00:25:59,040 --> 00:26:01,720
Speaker 1: and where more goes after that? I think there's more

518
00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:07,080
Speaker 1: questions there, and it's more obviously more important position. You know,

519
00:26:07,320 --> 00:26:09,560
Speaker 1: even though you know kicker is a big deal, but

520
00:26:09,600 --> 00:26:12,040
Speaker 1: you said special team, so I think sixty six percent

521
00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:14,320
Speaker 1: of it is pretty much set. How do you factor

522
00:26:14,359 --> 00:26:17,120
Speaker 1: in the punt returner because right now punt returner from

523
00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:19,760
Speaker 1: last year we said this earlier on a show a

524
00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:22,320
Speaker 1: couple of days ago. He could be on this team

525
00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:23,879
Speaker 1: or not be on this team, Like, I don't I

526
00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:25,960
Speaker 1: think it's kind of a fifty fifty proposition as to

527
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:28,080
Speaker 1: whether he even makes the team. He's also not even

528
00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:30,000
Speaker 1: fielding punts out here right There's a lot of other

529
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:32,159
Speaker 1: guys doing that. So the point is, like, when you

530
00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:35,359
Speaker 1: factor in all of special teams, to me, there seems

531
00:26:35,359 --> 00:26:37,600
Speaker 1: to be a ton of questions there. And even if

532
00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:40,199
Speaker 1: you say the kickers decided, I don't know that you

533
00:26:40,240 --> 00:26:42,399
Speaker 1: feel great about it right now. So there's still are

534
00:26:42,520 --> 00:26:44,680
Speaker 1: question marks about how you think he's gonna perform same

535
00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:46,879
Speaker 1: thing with a punter. He that year was not a

536
00:26:46,880 --> 00:26:49,240
Speaker 1: great year for him, not the year the years that

537
00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:51,639
Speaker 1: we've been accustomed to seeing from Rush Jones. You certainly

538
00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:53,680
Speaker 1: wasn't last. But if you get your running back in order,

539
00:26:54,040 --> 00:26:57,320
Speaker 1: you don't have to punt that much. Yeah, one problem

540
00:26:57,320 --> 00:26:59,520
Speaker 1: can solve a bunch of others, right. I love that answer.

541
00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:02,480
Speaker 1: Like that high school coach in Arkansas that just never punts,

542
00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:05,560
Speaker 1: let's do that? Is that where it was? I know

543
00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:09,320
Speaker 1: someone like never just never punch baby, just didn't have

544
00:27:09,320 --> 00:27:13,439
Speaker 1: a punter. No, no analytics, baby, We're coming all right.

545
00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:16,920
Speaker 1: Next question, with regard to the backup quarterback position, I'm

546
00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:19,000
Speaker 1: gonna give you four statements. You tell me which one

547
00:27:19,080 --> 00:27:23,200
Speaker 1: is most accurate. Mike White has been better than Cooper Rush.

548
00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:26,920
Speaker 1: Cooper Rush has been better than Mike White. Both have

549
00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:31,480
Speaker 1: been okay to good? Or Dallas needs help at backup quarterback.

550
00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:33,880
Speaker 1: I think there's a fifth one you could have said,

551
00:27:34,600 --> 00:27:37,760
Speaker 1: which was, what's the Christian is better than the other two?

552
00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:40,960
Speaker 1: Good point. I should have thrown that in. Really, No,

553
00:27:41,119 --> 00:27:42,119
Speaker 1: if you want to know, if you want to have

554
00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:49,920
Speaker 1: the conversation, have the conversation. I've only two first, Yeah, no, no,

555
00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:54,960
Speaker 1: not at all. We've watching two padded practices, and in

556
00:27:55,080 --> 00:27:59,240
Speaker 1: the first one, Taran Christian fumbled his first snap, fumbled

557
00:27:59,280 --> 00:28:01,399
Speaker 1: the exchange with the running back on the second snap,

558
00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:03,560
Speaker 1: and then threw a pass into the hands of a

559
00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:09,240
Speaker 1: defensive lineman. I didn't stop looking at him, but like

560
00:28:09,359 --> 00:28:11,360
Speaker 1: that's the only impression I have him. I don't even

561
00:28:11,359 --> 00:28:15,000
Speaker 1: remember what he did worse than Mike and Cooper rush

562
00:28:17,119 --> 00:28:20,119
Speaker 1: I don't know what you've been watching. I can't go

563
00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:23,600
Speaker 1: there with you. I was gonna say the last two answers, Um, wait,

564
00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:26,760
Speaker 1: remember the first was Mike watch better, Cooper rushes better?

565
00:28:26,760 --> 00:28:28,399
Speaker 1: A second, either one of those, and then both have

566
00:28:28,560 --> 00:28:30,879
Speaker 1: been okay to good, and then Dallas needs help at

567
00:28:30,880 --> 00:28:34,439
Speaker 1: backup quarterback. I'll say they've both been okay and Dallas

568
00:28:34,520 --> 00:28:36,680
Speaker 1: needs help a backup quarterback. I mean, like they're not

569
00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:38,680
Speaker 1: gonna get it, Like they're like we already knew that.

570
00:28:39,240 --> 00:28:41,880
Speaker 1: I don't. I would not feel remotely comfortable with either

571
00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:46,600
Speaker 1: of them playing snaps in a real situation. Um, they've

572
00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:49,320
Speaker 1: both They've both made some decent throws. I haven't seen

573
00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:53,120
Speaker 1: either of them just do something atrocious yet. But I

574
00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:56,120
Speaker 1: haven't been wowed by either one of them. Either Cooper Rush.

575
00:28:56,840 --> 00:28:59,600
Speaker 1: He can throw such a pretty ball and then like

576
00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:03,000
Speaker 1: two reps later, it's you know, it's eighteen yards out

577
00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:05,240
Speaker 1: of bounds and you're like, what this is the same guy.

578
00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:09,280
Speaker 1: It's weird, Like it's very consistency is troublesome. But does

579
00:29:09,320 --> 00:29:12,400
Speaker 1: that make you feel like with more reps he might

580
00:29:12,480 --> 00:29:15,000
Speaker 1: actually get there because he does do some things that

581
00:29:15,520 --> 00:29:18,800
Speaker 1: pop for you. We've seen him do it before his

582
00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:22,560
Speaker 1: rookie year. He was so good that preseason his rookie year,

583
00:29:22,680 --> 00:29:25,080
Speaker 1: and we haven't really seen him get to that level since.

584
00:29:27,520 --> 00:29:30,720
Speaker 1: Maybe maybe I'm not optimistic if I'm being honest, but

585
00:29:30,840 --> 00:29:34,440
Speaker 1: maybe Amber you got opinion on these two. I don't

586
00:29:34,480 --> 00:29:40,000
Speaker 1: feel comfortable with either of them. I think Cooper Rush

587
00:29:40,160 --> 00:29:43,800
Speaker 1: I feel that he has improved a little bit since

588
00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:46,000
Speaker 1: we've been here compared to what we have been seen

589
00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:49,600
Speaker 1: at the Star back at home. But is it enough

590
00:29:49,680 --> 00:29:52,000
Speaker 1: for me to be like, oh, yeah, I put him

591
00:29:52,040 --> 00:29:55,400
Speaker 1: in a game. No, not at all. I'm not trying

592
00:29:55,440 --> 00:29:57,280
Speaker 1: to be a jerk, but I gotta know what you've

593
00:29:57,320 --> 00:30:00,640
Speaker 1: seen from Taran Christian that inspires this comf He throws

594
00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:02,960
Speaker 1: the ball better than the other two you think, so, Yeah,

595
00:30:03,320 --> 00:30:05,600
Speaker 1: I trust you, really do. I think he throws the

596
00:30:05,640 --> 00:30:09,080
Speaker 1: ball better, and I think he's he's he's obviously more mobile.

597
00:30:09,400 --> 00:30:11,560
Speaker 1: I think I think if he gets some some snaps

598
00:30:11,600 --> 00:30:15,520
Speaker 1: in the games. I'm not sure he will, but I

599
00:30:15,600 --> 00:30:18,040
Speaker 1: mean I think I think he'll. I think when it's

600
00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:20,680
Speaker 1: all said and done, he'll be better than at least

601
00:30:20,960 --> 00:30:23,360
Speaker 1: one of them. I hope you're right. But but again,

602
00:30:23,600 --> 00:30:26,240
Speaker 1: when I say that, like, what are we talking, I mean,

603
00:30:26,280 --> 00:30:29,040
Speaker 1: when I'm talking about the bar being high those two

604
00:30:29,120 --> 00:30:31,480
Speaker 1: because other two aren't very good at all. To me.

605
00:30:31,840 --> 00:30:35,840
Speaker 1: This whole thing is and I'm not talking about wealthy,

606
00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:39,720
Speaker 1: rich people. I'm talking about just average people. Dak Prescott

607
00:30:39,920 --> 00:30:42,120
Speaker 1: is like, they're gonna treat Dak Prescott like you would

608
00:30:42,160 --> 00:30:44,040
Speaker 1: your car. You don't have a backup car. You just

609
00:30:44,160 --> 00:30:45,840
Speaker 1: have a car. And if your car breaks down, then

610
00:30:45,840 --> 00:30:47,200
Speaker 1: you gotta get a new car. You don't just have

611
00:30:47,280 --> 00:30:49,880
Speaker 1: another one in there. That's that's how they're going to

612
00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:53,440
Speaker 1: treat it. And and is that gonna be good? Maybe? Well,

613
00:30:53,800 --> 00:30:55,880
Speaker 1: going along with your analogy, what makes that a little

614
00:30:55,920 --> 00:30:58,240
Speaker 1: bit more palatable is the fact that you got a

615
00:30:58,320 --> 00:31:00,800
Speaker 1: new car, right, You got a new sturdy car, So

616
00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:02,800
Speaker 1: if you get a new sturdy car, you feel like,

617
00:31:03,120 --> 00:31:05,120
Speaker 1: I don't really need to worry about a backup. Right,

618
00:31:05,320 --> 00:31:07,000
Speaker 1: It's it's a whole different thing. If you've got a

619
00:31:07,040 --> 00:31:09,520
Speaker 1: car that's gut a little, you know, the engine's a

620
00:31:09,560 --> 00:31:12,520
Speaker 1: little weird tansmission's got some you know, you got four.

621
00:31:12,600 --> 00:31:14,240
Speaker 1: You can trust the four if you got If you

622
00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:15,920
Speaker 1: got a car that's kind of you've had it for

623
00:31:16,080 --> 00:31:19,160
Speaker 1: nine years and the wheel like over here, it kind

624
00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:21,479
Speaker 1: of shakes a little bit, then you know, yeah, then

625
00:31:21,520 --> 00:31:24,000
Speaker 1: you know you need a backup. And I'm not having

626
00:31:24,080 --> 00:31:26,760
Speaker 1: thirty thousand miles on him. Dad has. DAK has about

627
00:31:26,840 --> 00:31:28,960
Speaker 1: twenty two, and he's sturdy, He's built like a tank.

628
00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:31,160
Speaker 1: He's feel like a Ford Trust. Right. So so the

629
00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:33,160
Speaker 1: point is, so the point is you can be a

630
00:31:33,240 --> 00:31:36,240
Speaker 1: little you can be a little bit more, uh, you know,

631
00:31:36,440 --> 00:31:38,960
Speaker 1: free with not worrying about the backup when you've got

632
00:31:39,040 --> 00:31:40,760
Speaker 1: a Yeah, I like that. It might come back to

633
00:31:40,840 --> 00:31:43,120
Speaker 1: bite us all in the butt. But I am comfortable.

634
00:31:43,160 --> 00:31:47,360
Speaker 1: I'm comfortable trusting that DAK will be available for sixteen months.

635
00:31:47,960 --> 00:31:51,040
Speaker 1: I'm not I'm just I'm not gonna dignify that. I

636
00:31:51,160 --> 00:31:56,040
Speaker 1: am not gonna dignify that. Okay, yeah, I get you, David.

637
00:31:56,080 --> 00:31:58,200
Speaker 1: I'm actually on the same page with what else are

638
00:31:58,200 --> 00:32:00,600
Speaker 1: you gonna do? You know, I mean, especially at this point.

639
00:32:00,680 --> 00:32:03,160
Speaker 1: That's which it would be a fun story if tarn

640
00:32:03,240 --> 00:32:05,840
Speaker 1: Christian is better than Cooper Russian, Mike White. But like,

641
00:32:06,200 --> 00:32:09,000
Speaker 1: what a bad look for the ops, for football ops

642
00:32:09,120 --> 00:32:11,120
Speaker 1: if like this dude that they signed on a whim

643
00:32:11,240 --> 00:32:14,520
Speaker 1: three days before camp beats out their two year groomed

644
00:32:14,600 --> 00:32:17,320
Speaker 1: back up and their draft pick, like just they're like, well,

645
00:32:17,360 --> 00:32:19,880
Speaker 1: we need an arm for camp. Get in here. Oh,

646
00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:22,160
Speaker 1: he's actually better than these guys we've been working on

647
00:32:22,320 --> 00:32:23,920
Speaker 1: for two years. Oh they won't look at it that

648
00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:27,360
Speaker 1: way because they're never wrong. And sixty five days a

649
00:32:27,440 --> 00:32:29,360
Speaker 1: year we look at these players. You know, he was

650
00:32:29,400 --> 00:32:31,160
Speaker 1: like he was always you always got to have an

651
00:32:31,160 --> 00:32:33,880
Speaker 1: out for why you weren't wrong. But I'll remember, all right,

652
00:32:33,960 --> 00:32:37,520
Speaker 1: next question, most impressive rookie And there's a list of them.

653
00:32:37,840 --> 00:32:39,880
Speaker 1: I'll throughout some of the names. You guys feel free

654
00:32:39,920 --> 00:32:44,120
Speaker 1: to use these or others. Tristan Hill, Jalen Guyton, Joe Jackson,

655
00:32:44,280 --> 00:32:54,120
Speaker 1: Jalen Jelks, John Vay, Johnson, Tony Pollard, Daniel Wise, Nick Christian. Um, Okay,

656
00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:57,360
Speaker 1: this is who you have the best feeling about, who's

657
00:32:57,400 --> 00:33:00,480
Speaker 1: at the best to practice. Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay.

658
00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:04,680
Speaker 1: I'm gonna stick with my guy here. I just I

659
00:33:04,760 --> 00:33:08,800
Speaker 1: have this this hunch about Jalen Jelks. So I'm not

660
00:33:08,920 --> 00:33:12,200
Speaker 1: saying he's had great practices. He did not knock a

661
00:33:12,360 --> 00:33:15,840
Speaker 1: power forward on his ass, So I'll say Joe dumped him,

662
00:33:15,920 --> 00:33:19,800
Speaker 1: not just knocked like dumped him. Go ahead, Nick, I'm sorry, Dave,

663
00:33:20,560 --> 00:33:24,400
Speaker 1: um geez, looks sorry. I was just gonna say, like,

664
00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:27,520
Speaker 1: he looks the part. You know, he looks like he

665
00:33:27,600 --> 00:33:29,880
Speaker 1: has that mold of the rest of the group. So

666
00:33:30,840 --> 00:33:35,160
Speaker 1: I don't know, he's a big, long, beefy dude. But

667
00:33:35,280 --> 00:33:46,840
Speaker 1: I turn that into um back on the rails. Uh.

668
00:33:46,920 --> 00:33:49,560
Speaker 1: It's way easier for receivers to stand out out here.

669
00:33:49,760 --> 00:33:53,520
Speaker 1: But Daniel Wise, he just he's doing stuff. He's he's

670
00:33:53,600 --> 00:33:55,960
Speaker 1: getting in there low man wins and all that good stuff.

671
00:33:56,520 --> 00:33:58,600
Speaker 1: I'm encouraged by what I've seen from him so far.

672
00:33:58,680 --> 00:34:01,920
Speaker 1: All right, let me see the listing yesterday when you

673
00:34:01,960 --> 00:34:04,480
Speaker 1: didn't talk that much. You're mad, I don't ever get

674
00:34:04,520 --> 00:34:07,800
Speaker 1: the TA today you're just coming out fire she said,

675
00:34:07,880 --> 00:34:11,440
Speaker 1: I'll teach him. I got something for that. You know what,

676
00:34:13,400 --> 00:34:15,640
Speaker 1: I don't know if I'm most impressive or not. I

677
00:34:15,840 --> 00:34:19,839
Speaker 1: think Pollard I've seen flashes. Of course, this is something

678
00:34:19,880 --> 00:34:24,000
Speaker 1: that you would expect from this guy, but he has

679
00:34:24,040 --> 00:34:28,680
Speaker 1: shown flashes to where it's promising to what he can do.

680
00:34:28,880 --> 00:34:30,920
Speaker 1: And then once you plug that in with the old

681
00:34:30,960 --> 00:34:35,960
Speaker 1: line and everything else, I think he can be explosive

682
00:34:36,440 --> 00:34:40,080
Speaker 1: and really benefit from him on the field. We'll see,

683
00:34:40,440 --> 00:34:42,920
Speaker 1: but I would say he has the one that he's been,

684
00:34:42,960 --> 00:34:45,000
Speaker 1: the one I've been keeping my eye on the most.

685
00:34:45,160 --> 00:34:46,759
Speaker 1: I would just go with him. Let me ask you

686
00:34:46,800 --> 00:34:49,000
Speaker 1: a question about all you guys, a question about Tony Pollard.

687
00:34:49,440 --> 00:34:50,960
Speaker 1: One of the things that I heard a lot when

688
00:34:51,080 --> 00:34:53,759
Speaker 1: when the Cowboys drafted him was like, the guy has

689
00:34:54,680 --> 00:34:58,000
Speaker 1: a background playing receiver. One of his greatest assets is

690
00:34:58,040 --> 00:34:59,960
Speaker 1: he can catch the ball coming out of the backfield.

691
00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:03,960
Speaker 1: Have you guys seen him lining up outside or or

692
00:35:04,400 --> 00:35:07,120
Speaker 1: doing a lot of running routes down field that will

693
00:35:07,160 --> 00:35:10,799
Speaker 1: allow them to really exploit those assets. Um, and maybe

694
00:35:10,880 --> 00:35:13,879
Speaker 1: when Zeke is back, create opportunities when you put both

695
00:35:13,920 --> 00:35:15,919
Speaker 1: of them on the field, with him having a little

696
00:35:15,960 --> 00:35:18,880
Speaker 1: bit more of kind of an h back responsibility or

697
00:35:19,080 --> 00:35:21,760
Speaker 1: or even a receiver responsibility in some of those packages.

698
00:35:22,080 --> 00:35:24,080
Speaker 1: Yes to the first question, they've been moving him all

699
00:35:24,120 --> 00:35:26,000
Speaker 1: over the place. He's been shifting out of the backfield

700
00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:28,640
Speaker 1: and lining up wide. When you say down field like,

701
00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:30,520
Speaker 1: I'm not talking, I don't want to, I'm not talking

702
00:35:30,520 --> 00:35:32,719
Speaker 1: to fly, I'm talking. Can he can he run a

703
00:35:32,800 --> 00:35:34,839
Speaker 1: dig route? Can he run a Yeah? Those are kinds

704
00:35:34,840 --> 00:35:36,560
Speaker 1: of things he's doing a sitting pretty much just a

705
00:35:36,600 --> 00:35:39,080
Speaker 1: flare get out in the out open fuel and this point,

706
00:35:39,200 --> 00:35:41,200
Speaker 1: that's what we have seen. And that's the thing. You know,

707
00:35:41,440 --> 00:35:46,160
Speaker 1: I'm excited by his talent. I gotta see that they're

708
00:35:46,160 --> 00:35:48,320
Speaker 1: gonna use it in a new way before I believe it.

709
00:35:48,400 --> 00:35:50,279
Speaker 1: And that's on Kellen Moore. You know, I always I

710
00:35:50,360 --> 00:35:53,600
Speaker 1: fell a hook line and sinker for the Tavon experience. Yeah,

711
00:35:53,760 --> 00:35:56,359
Speaker 1: I don't, I'm not. I'm not gonna buy it until

712
00:35:56,400 --> 00:35:59,520
Speaker 1: I see it this time. But I hope, I hope

713
00:35:59,560 --> 00:36:01,000
Speaker 1: that they use them that way. But you know the

714
00:36:01,400 --> 00:36:03,880
Speaker 1: good thing with Kellen Moore is what I like so

715
00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:07,279
Speaker 1: far is that we have been seeing different mixes of

716
00:36:08,239 --> 00:36:11,640
Speaker 1: you know, routes and different things. He has been changing

717
00:36:11,719 --> 00:36:14,399
Speaker 1: it up to where you're not just seeing the same

718
00:36:14,520 --> 00:36:17,520
Speaker 1: stuff that we're used to seeing. So he's been creative

719
00:36:17,560 --> 00:36:19,239
Speaker 1: at least. One of the things that Nick and I

720
00:36:19,280 --> 00:36:20,960
Speaker 1: were talking about the other day that we saw that

721
00:36:21,080 --> 00:36:23,799
Speaker 1: we've seemed to notice a lot more is guys running free,

722
00:36:24,160 --> 00:36:27,239
Speaker 1: which to me speaks to a scheme. When you see

723
00:36:27,239 --> 00:36:30,280
Speaker 1: a guy that's just wide open catching the ball, usually

724
00:36:30,360 --> 00:36:32,520
Speaker 1: that's not a guy that just beat somebody that bad.

725
00:36:32,680 --> 00:36:34,800
Speaker 1: Usually there is something about the scheme of the offense

726
00:36:34,880 --> 00:36:37,560
Speaker 1: and what they did that purposefully got a guy open.

727
00:36:38,280 --> 00:36:40,520
Speaker 1: And we've seen, we seem to have seen that. We

728
00:36:40,640 --> 00:36:42,719
Speaker 1: seem to be seeing that a little bit more. It'll

729
00:36:42,760 --> 00:36:44,319
Speaker 1: be interesting to see once we get into games if

730
00:36:44,360 --> 00:36:46,640
Speaker 1: that's what you see. But it does signal to me

731
00:36:46,760 --> 00:36:48,800
Speaker 1: that maybe you have an offensive coordinator now that that

732
00:36:48,960 --> 00:36:51,520
Speaker 1: is looking for opportunities to create those types of schemes

733
00:36:52,160 --> 00:36:53,600
Speaker 1: that can get your guys open and get them in

734
00:36:53,600 --> 00:36:54,840
Speaker 1: the open field. Let them see what they can do

735
00:36:54,880 --> 00:36:56,480
Speaker 1: with the ball in their hands. Oh, let's look, our

736
00:36:56,600 --> 00:36:58,800
Speaker 1: final break will come back. We got about three or

737
00:36:58,800 --> 00:37:00,600
Speaker 1: four more questions to do. Well that when we come

738
00:37:00,680 --> 00:37:03,680
Speaker 1: right back to the DOLF Cowboys dot Com Radio, Well,

739
00:37:03,719 --> 00:37:06,279
Speaker 1: the player can look good on paper, it's when he's

740
00:37:06,320 --> 00:37:08,320
Speaker 1: out on the field that you really find out what

741
00:37:08,480 --> 00:37:11,480
Speaker 1: he's made of. That's why the Cowboys rely on more

742
00:37:11,520 --> 00:37:14,760
Speaker 1: than just stats and scouting reports when building their team.

743
00:37:15,239 --> 00:37:17,920
Speaker 1: When picking a tractor, it's why you should rely on

744
00:37:18,080 --> 00:37:20,600
Speaker 1: more than just specs and features. You've got to take

745
00:37:20,640 --> 00:37:23,480
Speaker 1: it out and put it to the test. The Cowboys

746
00:37:23,560 --> 00:37:27,400
Speaker 1: did when they name John Deer their official tractor experience

747
00:37:27,480 --> 00:37:31,719
Speaker 1: one for yourself. Visit my John Deerdealer dot com slash football.

748
00:37:32,160 --> 00:37:35,160
Speaker 1: It's time for tailgate with the autobox boys. Auterbox the

749
00:37:35,280 --> 00:37:37,960
Speaker 1: makers are those crazy protective phone cases so one and only.

750
00:37:38,080 --> 00:37:41,560
Speaker 1: They're also wild about protecting parking lot parties from sad drinks.

751
00:37:41,600 --> 00:37:44,120
Speaker 1: It's why they made elevation tumblers room around the crock

752
00:37:44,160 --> 00:37:46,560
Speaker 1: pot as they're made from stainless steel with a copper

753
00:37:46,640 --> 00:37:49,319
Speaker 1: lining to keep tempts hot or coal true. They even

754
00:37:49,360 --> 00:37:52,160
Speaker 1: come in seven different sizes up to sixty four ounce

755
00:37:52,320 --> 00:37:55,680
Speaker 1: the growler. I like how Auterbox drinks. I mean thanks,

756
00:37:55,760 --> 00:37:58,400
Speaker 1: and that's been tailgating with the Autobox boys. Check out

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

785
00:39:34,960 --> 00:39:38,560
Speaker 1: segment of The Break Life from Oxnard, California, and we're

786
00:39:38,560 --> 00:39:42,160
Speaker 1: going through our quarterly review. Cowboys have been through four practices,

787
00:39:42,320 --> 00:39:45,000
Speaker 1: although Day thinks it's only been too and we'll have

788
00:39:45,080 --> 00:39:48,280
Speaker 1: a lot more to talk about here in this final segment.

789
00:39:48,280 --> 00:39:50,959
Speaker 1: A few more questions that will hit on this team

790
00:39:50,960 --> 00:39:54,000
Speaker 1: and what they've done so far through those practices. Next

791
00:39:54,120 --> 00:39:57,719
Speaker 1: question for you guys, player that's most likely not to

792
00:39:57,840 --> 00:40:00,719
Speaker 1: be on the final fifty three man roster. Here's some names.

793
00:40:00,840 --> 00:40:07,040
Speaker 1: Tackle Charlton, Xavier Sulphilo, Tavon Austin Cooper, Rush, Cavon Frasier.

794
00:40:08,400 --> 00:40:11,279
Speaker 1: Most likely not to make the final fifty three. Now

795
00:40:11,360 --> 00:40:12,600
Speaker 1: here's the thing I want. Here's the thing. I also

796
00:40:12,600 --> 00:40:15,879
Speaker 1: want to throw out Xavier Sue Philo. He's a guy

797
00:40:16,040 --> 00:40:19,240
Speaker 1: that is playing well out here. However, does that create

798
00:40:19,280 --> 00:40:21,520
Speaker 1: an opportunity for the Cowboys maybe to trade him to

799
00:40:21,560 --> 00:40:24,239
Speaker 1: get value on a position, maybe they want to bulk up.

800
00:40:24,480 --> 00:40:26,759
Speaker 1: You want me to say, Taco, that's what you know.

801
00:40:26,880 --> 00:40:28,239
Speaker 1: That's not what I want to say, because let me

802
00:40:28,280 --> 00:40:30,239
Speaker 1: all but let me also say this too, can also

803
00:40:30,280 --> 00:40:32,399
Speaker 1: throw this in. I know we've given I know we've

804
00:40:32,440 --> 00:40:35,799
Speaker 1: given Taco hard time. Tacko's not been horrible, like there

805
00:40:35,840 --> 00:40:37,840
Speaker 1: have been a couple of plays I've seen Taco makeout

806
00:40:37,880 --> 00:40:40,320
Speaker 1: here during these first two practices. So let's be a

807
00:40:40,440 --> 00:40:42,520
Speaker 1: little bit caustiss of painting the picture because I think

808
00:40:42,520 --> 00:40:44,040
Speaker 1: we have painted the picture a little bit then, Like

809
00:40:44,080 --> 00:40:46,640
Speaker 1: when we say embarrassing like that it's not weak. When

810
00:40:46,719 --> 00:40:49,439
Speaker 1: Amber says embarrassing, it does make the picture that he's

811
00:40:49,480 --> 00:40:53,120
Speaker 1: been like getting just completely overpowered out here. I don't

812
00:40:53,120 --> 00:40:55,200
Speaker 1: think that's been the case. When ninety nine point nine

813
00:40:55,280 --> 00:40:57,360
Speaker 1: percent of the people that are interested in the Cowboys

814
00:40:57,480 --> 00:40:59,400
Speaker 1: can only see it through the frame of what we

815
00:40:59,560 --> 00:41:02,279
Speaker 1: say or what we shoot on video, it's like a

816
00:41:02,360 --> 00:41:06,239
Speaker 1: runaway train, positive and naked, right, I agree, So no,

817
00:41:06,400 --> 00:41:08,080
Speaker 1: and yeah, and that's what like, I'm not. I'm not

818
00:41:08,120 --> 00:41:10,560
Speaker 1: going to bury a first round and pick before he

819
00:41:10,680 --> 00:41:12,399
Speaker 1: even has a chance to play in a preseason game

820
00:41:12,560 --> 00:41:15,279
Speaker 1: or go through more padded practices. So I don't want

821
00:41:15,280 --> 00:41:16,759
Speaker 1: you to say tackle, but go ahead. I think the

822
00:41:16,840 --> 00:41:19,520
Speaker 1: answer is Xavier Suaphilo. And that's not because he's not

823
00:41:19,600 --> 00:41:22,200
Speaker 1: a good player. It's because this is a loaded offensive line.

824
00:41:22,640 --> 00:41:24,120
Speaker 1: We I think we did this the other day. But

825
00:41:24,200 --> 00:41:26,439
Speaker 1: you've got your starting five, you have Cam Fleming because

826
00:41:26,480 --> 00:41:29,680
Speaker 1: you need a swing tackle. Then you've got you've got

827
00:41:29,760 --> 00:41:31,640
Speaker 1: Joe Looney, who it seems silly to think that you

828
00:41:31,680 --> 00:41:34,280
Speaker 1: would part ways with him. Connor McGovern's not going anywhere.

829
00:41:34,320 --> 00:41:36,239
Speaker 1: You just drafted him in the top one hundred, so

830
00:41:36,400 --> 00:41:39,719
Speaker 1: you already have eight U so you're you're running out

831
00:41:39,719 --> 00:41:42,840
Speaker 1: of space. And again, how many interior offensive lineman do

832
00:41:42,920 --> 00:41:44,520
Speaker 1: you need? If you keep nine, wouldn't you like a

833
00:41:44,560 --> 00:41:47,600
Speaker 1: guy who can play tackle? Xavier Suafilo is a starting

834
00:41:47,680 --> 00:41:51,279
Speaker 1: caliber player. Maybe you could trade him for something, or

835
00:41:51,400 --> 00:41:53,360
Speaker 1: you know, somebody might come calling and you can bolster

836
00:41:53,440 --> 00:41:55,879
Speaker 1: another position. So if I had to bet right now,

837
00:41:56,840 --> 00:41:58,239
Speaker 1: that would be that would be my guy. One thing

838
00:41:58,239 --> 00:41:59,960
Speaker 1: I would throughout though I know we've had this conversation

839
00:42:00,280 --> 00:42:02,399
Speaker 1: as well. When you start talking interior linement or having

840
00:42:02,440 --> 00:42:05,160
Speaker 1: too many of them, two of your starting interior linement

841
00:42:05,280 --> 00:42:08,439
Speaker 1: can also double out onto tackle, so you're not really

842
00:42:08,480 --> 00:42:10,919
Speaker 1: in a situation where you're really expose having that extra

843
00:42:11,000 --> 00:42:14,359
Speaker 1: interior offensive linement. Because we're talking about Zach as one, right, Yeah,

844
00:42:14,360 --> 00:42:16,440
Speaker 1: we're talking about Zach and we're talking about Connor. Both

845
00:42:16,520 --> 00:42:18,839
Speaker 1: of them can play tackle or at least have play

846
00:42:18,920 --> 00:42:21,279
Speaker 1: tackle at some point, and so I do think it

847
00:42:21,560 --> 00:42:23,480
Speaker 1: creates a little bit more of an opportunity for you

848
00:42:23,640 --> 00:42:26,879
Speaker 1: if you wanted to have them as your backup, backup plan.

849
00:42:27,000 --> 00:42:30,000
Speaker 1: I think that's optimistic just because I think they don't

850
00:42:30,040 --> 00:42:32,120
Speaker 1: want to move Zach, like you don't want the best

851
00:42:32,160 --> 00:42:34,600
Speaker 1: guard in the NFL playing another position unless there's no

852
00:42:34,680 --> 00:42:37,200
Speaker 1: other choice. And then Connor just hasn't done it enough,

853
00:42:37,320 --> 00:42:41,000
Speaker 1: like he's taken reps at tackle in one ota, I believe.

854
00:42:41,160 --> 00:42:43,759
Speaker 1: So I think that's a little optimistic, but I mean

855
00:42:43,800 --> 00:42:45,680
Speaker 1: I think it's a valid point. It would be the

856
00:42:45,719 --> 00:42:47,920
Speaker 1: backup to the backup though, right you already have a

857
00:42:48,000 --> 00:42:50,040
Speaker 1: swing tackle, and I would suspect if you lost a

858
00:42:50,080 --> 00:42:52,840
Speaker 1: tackle for suspend an extended amount of time, you'd go

859
00:42:52,880 --> 00:42:54,759
Speaker 1: out and get one yeah off the free agent line,

860
00:42:54,840 --> 00:42:57,120
Speaker 1: like you wouldn't necessarily going, but you could handle it

861
00:42:57,200 --> 00:42:58,600
Speaker 1: for the rest of that game if you need it to.

862
00:42:58,760 --> 00:43:03,920
Speaker 1: You know, Shiloh, his him being here to me is

863
00:43:04,560 --> 00:43:07,279
Speaker 1: a contingent on what happens with Frederick. If Frederick is

864
00:43:07,320 --> 00:43:11,040
Speaker 1: just like really good, no issues, no setback back to form,

865
00:43:11,120 --> 00:43:13,919
Speaker 1: then I think you could maybe think about parting ways.

866
00:43:13,960 --> 00:43:15,640
Speaker 1: But if you if if that's not the case, and

867
00:43:15,719 --> 00:43:17,799
Speaker 1: I just don't expect it will be the case where

868
00:43:17,840 --> 00:43:20,279
Speaker 1: there's no concerns at all, because then you've got to

869
00:43:20,400 --> 00:43:23,320
Speaker 1: keep Looney in that role. That Looney could be the starter,

870
00:43:23,480 --> 00:43:25,120
Speaker 1: and then you got to have to a feelo there.

871
00:43:25,160 --> 00:43:26,800
Speaker 1: So I just wouldn't I wouldn't get rid of And

872
00:43:26,960 --> 00:43:29,359
Speaker 1: then you think about also, so a feel is not old,

873
00:43:29,760 --> 00:43:32,000
Speaker 1: what happens with Lyle next year, what happens if Connor

874
00:43:32,080 --> 00:43:34,919
Speaker 1: moves out there? So a filo, I I don't govern

875
00:43:35,200 --> 00:43:37,719
Speaker 1: the answer that question. I get it, but then I mean,

876
00:43:39,000 --> 00:43:44,279
Speaker 1: I don't know. I just know you've seen his chief,

877
00:43:44,600 --> 00:43:47,840
Speaker 1: he works hard. I don't know. That wouldn't be my

878
00:43:47,920 --> 00:43:50,839
Speaker 1: answer to that question. Okay, we'll get to answer. Yeah,

879
00:43:51,320 --> 00:43:56,799
Speaker 1: what's your answer, um Tavon Austin. I just I'll say,

880
00:43:57,080 --> 00:43:59,680
Speaker 1: I just don't you know where the role will be there.

881
00:43:59,719 --> 00:44:02,040
Speaker 1: I think Pollard will will do the things you want

882
00:44:02,120 --> 00:44:04,800
Speaker 1: him to do offensively, you can find a punt returner,

883
00:44:05,160 --> 00:44:07,520
Speaker 1: you know, worry about making him punt you know. I mean,

884
00:44:08,800 --> 00:44:12,120
Speaker 1: there's not a lot of opportunities to be you know,

885
00:44:12,200 --> 00:44:15,320
Speaker 1: to have an aggressive punt return to anyways. So I

886
00:44:15,480 --> 00:44:16,880
Speaker 1: just don't know if if that that would be the

887
00:44:16,960 --> 00:44:20,200
Speaker 1: reason to keep him. You know, well, we'll see. He

888
00:44:20,360 --> 00:44:22,520
Speaker 1: just you know, he was hurt for a lot last

889
00:44:22,600 --> 00:44:25,640
Speaker 1: year and seemed okay with it, and I mean he

890
00:44:25,760 --> 00:44:27,600
Speaker 1: worked hard. I mean he got back when he got

891
00:44:27,640 --> 00:44:29,320
Speaker 1: back in there, he had a big, big play in

892
00:44:29,360 --> 00:44:31,600
Speaker 1: the playoff game. But I just don't know if you

893
00:44:31,760 --> 00:44:35,480
Speaker 1: need him as a gadget type player, which Pollard fills

894
00:44:35,520 --> 00:44:38,120
Speaker 1: that role. He's not a he never has been this

895
00:44:38,239 --> 00:44:41,359
Speaker 1: super polished receiver. Right. It's a good answer. That's who

896
00:44:41,440 --> 00:44:45,000
Speaker 1: I was leaning towards the most. But I just wonder

897
00:44:45,360 --> 00:44:49,239
Speaker 1: if Kellen Moore sees something in him to where maybe

898
00:44:49,280 --> 00:44:53,080
Speaker 1: he thinks that he can utilize him better or actually

899
00:44:53,200 --> 00:44:55,640
Speaker 1: just utilize him kills last year, they really did any

900
00:44:55,920 --> 00:44:59,160
Speaker 1: So I wonder, but I saw you on your list.

901
00:44:59,200 --> 00:45:02,880
Speaker 1: You have Cooper Hush, I would go with maybe Mike White.

902
00:45:03,520 --> 00:45:06,759
Speaker 1: Either one take it off because definitely you cannot keep

903
00:45:07,000 --> 00:45:10,120
Speaker 1: three quarterbacks. Well they did last year. They did last year,

904
00:45:10,160 --> 00:45:12,560
Speaker 1: But at this point I don't, I just I wouldn't.

905
00:45:12,560 --> 00:45:15,320
Speaker 1: I wouldn't keep three, especially those two as an option.

906
00:45:15,400 --> 00:45:18,439
Speaker 1: I wouldn't keep three knowing that if if Dak something

907
00:45:18,480 --> 00:45:20,560
Speaker 1: would happen to Dak, you're gonna go get it somebody else,

908
00:45:20,719 --> 00:45:23,680
Speaker 1: right well, and I think we all probably agree that

909
00:45:23,719 --> 00:45:26,000
Speaker 1: if something happened to Dak long term, they would be

910
00:45:26,080 --> 00:45:28,759
Speaker 1: going to get someone else. So it makes me wonder, like,

911
00:45:28,920 --> 00:45:31,120
Speaker 1: why would you have three on this roster, especially a

912
00:45:31,239 --> 00:45:34,359
Speaker 1: roster is very deep and you're basically gonna you're gonna

913
00:45:34,400 --> 00:45:36,160
Speaker 1: have to cut some good players, right, You're gonna have

914
00:45:36,200 --> 00:45:38,239
Speaker 1: to cut some good players this year. Why cut a

915
00:45:38,320 --> 00:45:41,200
Speaker 1: good player in favor of keeping three quarterbacks where two

916
00:45:41,200 --> 00:45:43,080
Speaker 1: of them you feel like are pretty comfortable. I agree

917
00:45:43,120 --> 00:45:46,520
Speaker 1: with you wholeheartedly, But one thing I've learned is like

918
00:45:46,640 --> 00:45:48,480
Speaker 1: they get to do whatever the hell they want. It's

919
00:45:48,480 --> 00:45:51,200
Speaker 1: there absolutely no I get that out. Like would would

920
00:45:51,239 --> 00:45:54,480
Speaker 1: you be shocked? Would you be shocked if they kept three? No? No,

921
00:45:54,800 --> 00:45:57,560
Speaker 1: right shocked? But let me so, let me change the question.

922
00:45:57,760 --> 00:46:01,520
Speaker 1: Should they keep three? No? No, So we all agree,

923
00:46:02,320 --> 00:46:05,600
Speaker 1: and I want to if Mike White is even if

924
00:46:05,680 --> 00:46:09,040
Speaker 1: he's even close, it's just a money thing and a

925
00:46:09,160 --> 00:46:11,319
Speaker 1: year's thing. Mike White's got two more years or three

926
00:46:11,360 --> 00:46:14,080
Speaker 1: if you count this season. Cooper Rushes are restricted free agent.

927
00:46:14,160 --> 00:46:16,560
Speaker 1: It's the same thing. I think Cavon Frasier makes this

928
00:46:16,640 --> 00:46:18,560
Speaker 1: team for what he brings as a special teamer, but

929
00:46:19,120 --> 00:46:21,319
Speaker 1: he's got to watch out for Donovan Wilson because he's

930
00:46:21,320 --> 00:46:23,600
Speaker 1: the same player. He was drafted in the same round,

931
00:46:23,960 --> 00:46:26,719
Speaker 1: he plays the same position. If he can do what

932
00:46:26,960 --> 00:46:29,600
Speaker 1: Cavon does for a cheap at a cheaper price for

933
00:46:29,760 --> 00:46:33,000
Speaker 1: more years, that's probably where they'll go. So that's what

934
00:46:33,080 --> 00:46:35,000
Speaker 1: makes it hard for these veterans if you can't separate

935
00:46:35,040 --> 00:46:37,359
Speaker 1: yourself from that young guy that's coming after your job.

936
00:46:39,960 --> 00:46:42,319
Speaker 1: For sure, I do think. I mean, Cavon has been

937
00:46:42,400 --> 00:46:45,120
Speaker 1: good enough on special teams, and you know, coaches love

938
00:46:45,200 --> 00:46:47,120
Speaker 1: to keep the guy that they trust to do what

939
00:46:47,239 --> 00:46:49,080
Speaker 1: they need to do, so I think that gives him

940
00:46:49,120 --> 00:46:51,600
Speaker 1: a leg up. All right, Free agent most likely to

941
00:46:51,719 --> 00:46:56,320
Speaker 1: make the final fifty three Georgia Loca, Kerrie Hyder, Christian Covington.

942
00:46:56,719 --> 00:46:59,520
Speaker 1: I think we all like Hyder and Covington. Question will

943
00:46:59,560 --> 00:47:01,560
Speaker 1: be though positions where they have a lot of depth.

944
00:47:01,880 --> 00:47:03,839
Speaker 1: So which of these three is, if you can only

945
00:47:03,920 --> 00:47:06,279
Speaker 1: take one, is most likely to make this team? Depth

946
00:47:06,440 --> 00:47:09,440
Speaker 1: is working against tighter at end. I think it's working

947
00:47:09,560 --> 00:47:13,440
Speaker 1: for Covington at tackle. Explain that, Well, you got Malik

948
00:47:13,520 --> 00:47:15,720
Speaker 1: and you got Woods, and then we talked about yesterday.

949
00:47:15,719 --> 00:47:17,759
Speaker 1: Who else do you you're like that guy's on the team.

950
00:47:17,800 --> 00:47:20,520
Speaker 1: I mean, Daniel Ross has been solid, but he's no

951
00:47:20,719 --> 00:47:23,880
Speaker 1: lock by any means. If Covington's solid, then you know

952
00:47:23,960 --> 00:47:27,640
Speaker 1: you probably keep four defensive tackles and there's not There

953
00:47:27,719 --> 00:47:30,000
Speaker 1: isn't a third one that's definitively better than him on

954
00:47:30,040 --> 00:47:34,640
Speaker 1: the depth chart right now? Yeah? Yeah? What's how did

955
00:47:34,719 --> 00:47:37,399
Speaker 1: you phrase the question, free agent? That was that's least

956
00:47:37,440 --> 00:47:40,319
Speaker 1: likely to make the final fifty three? Least likely? Oh

957
00:47:40,760 --> 00:47:42,799
Speaker 1: least I thought you said most I'm sorry, sorry, at

958
00:47:42,840 --> 00:47:48,600
Speaker 1: least likely most Let's do both ways, most likely and

959
00:47:48,719 --> 00:47:50,880
Speaker 1: least likely. So most likely you say Covington, who's your

960
00:47:51,000 --> 00:47:54,800
Speaker 1: least likely LOA? Which I think that will surprise a

961
00:47:54,880 --> 00:47:57,839
Speaker 1: lot of people because he's started eighty games and he's

962
00:47:57,880 --> 00:48:01,120
Speaker 1: been in the league for so long. But and it's early,

963
00:48:01,280 --> 00:48:03,480
Speaker 1: it's definitely early. But he's out here running with the

964
00:48:03,600 --> 00:48:06,719
Speaker 1: third team. You know, they trust, uh, they trust darry

965
00:48:06,800 --> 00:48:09,680
Speaker 1: and Thompson over him. While Xavier Woods was you know,

966
00:48:09,760 --> 00:48:12,560
Speaker 1: with the birth of his daughter. His you know, you

967
00:48:12,600 --> 00:48:15,880
Speaker 1: always got to look at the money in these search circumstances,

968
00:48:15,920 --> 00:48:18,080
Speaker 1: which I think they gave him nine hundred thousand. It's

969
00:48:18,120 --> 00:48:20,160
Speaker 1: a lot to us, but not to them. There's nothing,

970
00:48:20,719 --> 00:48:24,200
Speaker 1: there's no no contractual obligations tying them to him. So

971
00:48:24,320 --> 00:48:27,520
Speaker 1: he's gonna need to be amazing, I think to beat

972
00:48:27,560 --> 00:48:30,239
Speaker 1: out some of this younger. He's got something working for him.

973
00:48:30,280 --> 00:48:32,680
Speaker 1: Though he went to Boise. Yeah, and when you go

974
00:48:32,800 --> 00:48:39,200
Speaker 1: to Boise now, I think it's probably Alocas the least likely.

975
00:48:39,680 --> 00:48:43,200
Speaker 1: But but Hyder's you know, not far behind there because

976
00:48:43,280 --> 00:48:46,239
Speaker 1: Hyder's just gonna be kind of caught up in just

977
00:48:46,360 --> 00:48:49,000
Speaker 1: the numbers depth game that I just don't know if

978
00:48:49,200 --> 00:48:51,239
Speaker 1: if he's gonna be hard. Yeah, it's gonna be tough

979
00:48:51,280 --> 00:48:53,640
Speaker 1: for him. And do you agree Covingtons most likely? I

980
00:48:53,760 --> 00:48:56,440
Speaker 1: think so, But here's the deal about Hyder. Hyder will

981
00:48:56,480 --> 00:48:59,719
Speaker 1: get a chance to make a splash play in preseason

982
00:48:59,760 --> 00:49:02,480
Speaker 1: game because he's the guy that plays second quarter. He'll

983
00:49:02,520 --> 00:49:04,520
Speaker 1: play a lot of the second quarter, maybe even first quarter,

984
00:49:04,800 --> 00:49:07,880
Speaker 1: first second quarter, and he'll make some plays and he

985
00:49:07,960 --> 00:49:10,880
Speaker 1: has a position. All you have to do is get

986
00:49:10,960 --> 00:49:14,360
Speaker 1: around the edge, sack the quarterback, cause a fumball, and

987
00:49:14,400 --> 00:49:16,239
Speaker 1: it's like, okay, well he's on the team. Think about

988
00:49:16,280 --> 00:49:18,239
Speaker 1: it first game if he does something like that, or

989
00:49:18,280 --> 00:49:20,640
Speaker 1: any of these guys Jackson jokes, any of those guys

990
00:49:20,800 --> 00:49:23,600
Speaker 1: do that, You're like, okay, well he's on the especially

991
00:49:23,600 --> 00:49:24,880
Speaker 1: if you do it early in the game. Yeah, if

992
00:49:24,920 --> 00:49:27,120
Speaker 1: you do it like that. So those guys will have

993
00:49:27,200 --> 00:49:29,799
Speaker 1: an opportunity, and Hider will play a lot because he's

994
00:49:29,880 --> 00:49:34,440
Speaker 1: that He'll be in that first, second quarter, third quarter guy,

995
00:49:34,560 --> 00:49:36,800
Speaker 1: play a lot and probably make an impact. I do

996
00:49:36,880 --> 00:49:38,640
Speaker 1: want to say this, and I don't want to harp

997
00:49:38,680 --> 00:49:39,960
Speaker 1: on it too much because I don't want to sound

998
00:49:40,000 --> 00:49:42,200
Speaker 1: like Mickey. But the reason why, the reason why I

999
00:49:42,360 --> 00:49:46,040
Speaker 1: balk at quarterly review and it's two padded practices. That's

1000
00:49:46,080 --> 00:49:48,439
Speaker 1: my impression of Iloca right now. Right but you're talking

1001
00:49:48,440 --> 00:49:50,640
Speaker 1: about a guy that's been in the league since twenty thirteen.

1002
00:49:51,040 --> 00:49:53,560
Speaker 1: If he gets out here in some practices and starts

1003
00:49:53,640 --> 00:49:56,880
Speaker 1: diagnosing some plays and cuts in and gets a TfL

1004
00:49:57,160 --> 00:49:59,080
Speaker 1: or gets his hand on the ball and just does

1005
00:49:59,280 --> 00:50:02,040
Speaker 1: vets stuff, a week from now, we could be talking

1006
00:50:02,080 --> 00:50:04,839
Speaker 1: about how damn my loca is making all these plays.

1007
00:50:04,840 --> 00:50:06,960
Speaker 1: He hasn't done anything yet. I would even argue they're

1008
00:50:07,000 --> 00:50:09,560
Speaker 1: not He hasn't had a great opportunity because he's buried

1009
00:50:09,600 --> 00:50:11,680
Speaker 1: on the depth chart. But by the time we start

1010
00:50:11,719 --> 00:50:13,880
Speaker 1: playing preseason games, it could be a whole different Guess what,

1011
00:50:14,040 --> 00:50:16,719
Speaker 1: Guess what we're gonna do a halfway review. I know,

1012
00:50:18,440 --> 00:50:22,720
Speaker 1: and we're gone the camps and look, Rush did nothing

1013
00:50:22,920 --> 00:50:24,960
Speaker 1: really in the first couple of practice. As he goes

1014
00:50:25,040 --> 00:50:27,759
Speaker 1: to Canton and do the game against the Cardinals and

1015
00:50:27,840 --> 00:50:30,640
Speaker 1: he makes a few plays, and it's like, oh yeah, well,

1016
00:50:30,680 --> 00:50:33,200
Speaker 1: and it's gonna be sitting here talking about somebody after

1017
00:50:33,320 --> 00:50:36,560
Speaker 1: that nine years game. But like four great catches here

1018
00:50:37,200 --> 00:50:39,759
Speaker 1: and then one one handed catch in the game, and

1019
00:50:39,880 --> 00:50:42,040
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, you're boom. It's like the reason

1020
00:50:42,080 --> 00:50:44,120
Speaker 1: why we're smith, you know, It's the reason why we

1021
00:50:44,160 --> 00:50:46,120
Speaker 1: talked about Zavier Woods early in the show he had

1022
00:50:46,160 --> 00:50:48,839
Speaker 1: a great interception the other day that that one play.

1023
00:50:49,120 --> 00:50:51,319
Speaker 1: He had a couple plays, but that one play makes

1024
00:50:51,400 --> 00:50:53,600
Speaker 1: him stand out. So you're right. You get one great

1025
00:50:53,640 --> 00:50:55,759
Speaker 1: play out here, one great play in a preseason game,

1026
00:50:55,920 --> 00:50:57,480
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden you start getting on the

1027
00:50:57,600 --> 00:50:59,719
Speaker 1: radar of people ask hey, well, you don't want to look.

1028
00:50:59,760 --> 00:51:01,960
Speaker 1: You don't want the possibility of missing out on what

1029
00:51:02,040 --> 00:51:03,480
Speaker 1: this guy can bring you for the season. You don't

1030
00:51:03,520 --> 00:51:06,399
Speaker 1: want to cut him, right, And that certainly happens. We've

1031
00:51:06,400 --> 00:51:08,160
Speaker 1: all seen it happened. And did you have an answer

1032
00:51:08,200 --> 00:51:10,360
Speaker 1: on that most likely and least likely free agent to

1033
00:51:10,440 --> 00:51:12,719
Speaker 1: make the final fifty three? I think least likely. I

1034
00:51:12,760 --> 00:51:16,359
Speaker 1: would go with George just because of the position. When

1035
00:51:16,400 --> 00:51:19,120
Speaker 1: you talk about the other two guys, I think, and

1036
00:51:19,320 --> 00:51:22,040
Speaker 1: I know that people get injured all the time and

1037
00:51:22,120 --> 00:51:24,759
Speaker 1: they come back and they're still able to play. But

1038
00:51:24,920 --> 00:51:29,120
Speaker 1: for example, with Covington, when you look at Amalie Collins,

1039
00:51:29,200 --> 00:51:32,560
Speaker 1: the injuries that he's had, Antoine Woods, he's dealt with

1040
00:51:32,760 --> 00:51:35,719
Speaker 1: some things, had a surgery during the off season. They

1041
00:51:35,800 --> 00:51:39,520
Speaker 1: should be fine and all of that. But when you

1042
00:51:39,600 --> 00:51:42,719
Speaker 1: talk about injuries, it's just like I know it can

1043
00:51:42,800 --> 00:51:46,840
Speaker 1: be a reoccurring thing. You're never one hundred percent healthy again.

1044
00:51:47,040 --> 00:51:50,120
Speaker 1: So position wise, I would just stick with those two

1045
00:51:50,160 --> 00:51:53,799
Speaker 1: guys and leave George out. Okay, I just realized I've

1046
00:51:53,960 --> 00:51:56,239
Speaker 1: left Tristan Hill out of my d tackle depth chart.

1047
00:51:56,320 --> 00:51:59,080
Speaker 1: But the point still remains is that there's no clear

1048
00:51:59,160 --> 00:52:01,959
Speaker 1: cut guy above Covington in terms of making the team.

1049
00:52:02,160 --> 00:52:05,360
Speaker 1: All right, final question, rookie most likely to make the

1050
00:52:05,480 --> 00:52:09,000
Speaker 1: team John rookie, I'm sorry. Rookie free agent most likely

1051
00:52:09,080 --> 00:52:12,680
Speaker 1: to make the team John Vay Johnson, Jalen Guyden, Daniel Wise,

1052
00:52:13,120 --> 00:52:17,279
Speaker 1: Mitch Hyatt, and Luke Gifford. Which of those rookie free

1053
00:52:17,320 --> 00:52:20,279
Speaker 1: agents is most likely to make the fifty three? You

1054
00:52:20,400 --> 00:52:22,200
Speaker 1: want me to say, I know, you know, I don't know.

1055
00:52:22,560 --> 00:52:25,040
Speaker 1: I know, I'm just it's a figure of speech, right.

1056
00:52:25,480 --> 00:52:28,520
Speaker 1: John Vay Johnson is the obvious one, and he has

1057
00:52:28,560 --> 00:52:32,840
Speaker 1: looked really impressive out here. But the unsetting he's been

1058
00:52:32,880 --> 00:52:35,440
Speaker 1: better than Guy Uh yeah, I do, but I mean

1059
00:52:35,520 --> 00:52:37,640
Speaker 1: not you know, splitting hairs, But I think he's been better.

1060
00:52:37,800 --> 00:52:41,040
Speaker 1: But the unsexy answer that might be right is probably

1061
00:52:41,120 --> 00:52:45,080
Speaker 1: Gifford because you know, every year we're like, they can't

1062
00:52:45,120 --> 00:52:47,839
Speaker 1: stash this receiver. He's too good. And then for sure

1063
00:52:47,960 --> 00:52:50,640
Speaker 1: enough he's on the practice squad. But the linebacker that

1064
00:52:50,719 --> 00:52:52,440
Speaker 1: can come out here and play a bunch of special

1065
00:52:52,520 --> 00:52:55,200
Speaker 1: teams and doesn't look totally lost on defense, like that

1066
00:52:55,360 --> 00:52:58,360
Speaker 1: guy always makes the team. He might not ever dress,

1067
00:52:58,719 --> 00:53:00,640
Speaker 1: but they'll put him on the team. So this was

1068
00:53:00,680 --> 00:53:03,200
Speaker 1: a nick question, by the way it was. It was

1069
00:53:03,920 --> 00:53:06,360
Speaker 1: the reason why I did the question is to somehow

1070
00:53:06,480 --> 00:53:08,360
Speaker 1: figure out a way to get Gifford in an answer.

1071
00:53:08,520 --> 00:53:10,279
Speaker 1: Right there you go, because you've been seeing the same

1072
00:53:10,320 --> 00:53:12,120
Speaker 1: thing right right. So I was gonna, you know, I

1073
00:53:12,200 --> 00:53:15,160
Speaker 1: thought John Vay would be somebody would pick John Vay

1074
00:53:15,320 --> 00:53:20,319
Speaker 1: or or why, I mean why I've fallen in love

1075
00:53:20,360 --> 00:53:22,960
Speaker 1: with too many receivers over the years. Whether it happens

1076
00:53:23,000 --> 00:53:25,959
Speaker 1: every Yeric Rogers Lance, you know what, I realized, every

1077
00:53:26,080 --> 00:53:29,680
Speaker 1: camp has those guys. Every camp has a free agent

1078
00:53:30,160 --> 00:53:33,319
Speaker 1: right receiver that everybody kind of raves about a little bit.

1079
00:53:33,520 --> 00:53:35,480
Speaker 1: So when you say, well, we can't cut the Cobboys

1080
00:53:35,520 --> 00:53:38,080
Speaker 1: can't cut him because they lose him, well, every team hasn't.

1081
00:53:38,400 --> 00:53:41,840
Speaker 1: No teams worried. Abodcast is debating about their eighth executive

1082
00:53:41,960 --> 00:53:44,239
Speaker 1: right now, and here's what Gifford's gotta do. He's got

1083
00:53:44,320 --> 00:53:46,840
Speaker 1: to be better than Chris Covington, you know, he's got

1084
00:53:46,960 --> 00:53:50,360
Speaker 1: to be better than Marshall justin Marshall Lillard. So he

1085
00:53:50,520 --> 00:53:52,359
Speaker 1: might not even have to be better than them because

1086
00:53:52,480 --> 00:53:56,240
Speaker 1: you're gonna keep They're gonna keep six, maybe even seven.

1087
00:53:56,440 --> 00:53:59,279
Speaker 1: Because and I'm all due respect to Sean Lee like

1088
00:53:59,360 --> 00:54:01,600
Speaker 1: he's not I'm not thinking about him on special teams.

1089
00:54:01,680 --> 00:54:04,759
Speaker 1: Like your top three are here to play defense, then

1090
00:54:05,040 --> 00:54:07,080
Speaker 1: the core of your special teams is the back end

1091
00:54:07,120 --> 00:54:10,080
Speaker 1: of your linebacker chart. So whether I mean it could

1092
00:54:10,080 --> 00:54:13,600
Speaker 1: be Louke Gifford, Nate Hall's another one. Um. Yeah, keep

1093
00:54:13,640 --> 00:54:16,200
Speaker 1: an eye on these young linebackers whose names you don't know.

1094
00:54:17,320 --> 00:54:20,480
Speaker 1: Not Andrew Dowell because he was here and he's no

1095
00:54:20,680 --> 00:54:22,719
Speaker 1: longer here. I don't think he's out on the field

1096
00:54:22,760 --> 00:54:25,239
Speaker 1: to day. They've had a hamstring, you're gonna decide to

1097
00:54:25,320 --> 00:54:27,680
Speaker 1: wave him, give him injury settlement. He was a ricky

1098
00:54:27,760 --> 00:54:29,680
Speaker 1: free agent Andrew. When that happened, I was like we

1099
00:54:29,760 --> 00:54:33,720
Speaker 1: had in Andrew Michigan Michigan State. That's bad. I should

1100
00:54:33,760 --> 00:54:36,680
Speaker 1: probably know that, ver I, Yeah, I didn't know that.

1101
00:54:37,600 --> 00:54:39,680
Speaker 1: You talk about guys that have been you have such

1102
00:54:39,719 --> 00:54:45,759
Speaker 1: a way with words like well, you know it is

1103
00:54:45,880 --> 00:54:49,600
Speaker 1: not you do this podcast every just mean, yeah, you

1104
00:54:49,719 --> 00:54:53,359
Speaker 1: just need but talking about people that have that are

1105
00:54:53,400 --> 00:54:55,120
Speaker 1: no longer with the team, we didn't even mention that

1106
00:54:55,239 --> 00:54:58,800
Speaker 1: Larry Allen Junior h was was has he been officially

1107
00:54:59,160 --> 00:55:02,320
Speaker 1: he was released ship released in favor of a linebacker.

1108
00:55:02,400 --> 00:55:05,000
Speaker 1: Actually Justin Phillips still another name to keep an eye on.

1109
00:55:05,600 --> 00:55:08,919
Speaker 1: You know, it's about who. You know, there's no doubt

1110
00:55:08,960 --> 00:55:12,560
Speaker 1: about it that he was here because he's Larry Alan's son.

1111
00:55:12,680 --> 00:55:15,360
Speaker 1: There's no doubt. And they gave him a shot and

1112
00:55:15,480 --> 00:55:18,200
Speaker 1: he didn't. He didn't have it. We knew. We get sad.

1113
00:55:18,400 --> 00:55:20,960
Speaker 1: We could see it. We we we could. But you

1114
00:55:21,080 --> 00:55:23,520
Speaker 1: have to be like the greatest offensive lineman in the

1115
00:55:23,680 --> 00:55:26,120
Speaker 1: history of the Cowboys, maybe the history of the NFL

1116
00:55:26,600 --> 00:55:29,200
Speaker 1: to get that right. I mean, it's not sad and

1117
00:55:29,280 --> 00:55:34,440
Speaker 1: ill it's this guy pegged it. It's not sad, but

1118
00:55:34,800 --> 00:55:36,400
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, it's side in the aspect

1119
00:55:36,440 --> 00:55:39,600
Speaker 1: when you have your dad's name and you're trying to

1120
00:55:39,840 --> 00:55:42,520
Speaker 1: maybe you don't know if that was his dream or not,

1121
00:55:42,680 --> 00:55:45,120
Speaker 1: but when you're trying to live up to your dad's

1122
00:55:45,239 --> 00:55:49,360
Speaker 1: legacy and expectation. Yeah, but you know, he got a

1123
00:55:49,520 --> 00:55:53,280
Speaker 1: degree from Harvard. He went to Harvard. He got Harvard.

1124
00:55:53,360 --> 00:55:55,399
Speaker 1: He got to put on the same jersey as his dad,

1125
00:55:55,480 --> 00:55:57,000
Speaker 1: even if it was only for a few months, he

1126
00:55:57,080 --> 00:55:59,200
Speaker 1: got you know, he got to do he'd lived the

1127
00:55:59,320 --> 00:56:01,640
Speaker 1: NFL experience for a very short period of time. But

1128
00:56:01,760 --> 00:56:03,719
Speaker 1: I mean he was he was at the Star came

1129
00:56:03,760 --> 00:56:07,000
Speaker 1: out here. There's a photo of him. I bet him

1130
00:56:07,000 --> 00:56:09,280
Speaker 1: and his dad took a picture together after he signed

1131
00:56:09,360 --> 00:56:12,080
Speaker 1: or whatever. Like you know, I'm maybe he wanted to

1132
00:56:12,680 --> 00:56:15,040
Speaker 1: have a better shot at it, but it's still a

1133
00:56:15,040 --> 00:56:17,919
Speaker 1: pretty nice story. Practice squad would have been a good,

1134
00:56:18,239 --> 00:56:21,600
Speaker 1: you know, destination for him. If he makes this team

1135
00:56:21,680 --> 00:56:24,120
Speaker 1: practice squad one hundred thousand, he's about to go make

1136
00:56:24,200 --> 00:56:27,839
Speaker 1: more than that something do whatever. I'm a graduate of Harvard. Yes,

1137
00:56:28,120 --> 00:56:30,160
Speaker 1: I will be interested to see, Like if you know,

1138
00:56:31,320 --> 00:56:33,560
Speaker 1: is he really I mean, he started in the IVY League,

1139
00:56:33,600 --> 00:56:35,799
Speaker 1: Like he he can't be a terrible football player if

1140
00:56:35,800 --> 00:56:37,600
Speaker 1: he started in college football. So I wonder if anybody

1141
00:56:37,640 --> 00:56:40,200
Speaker 1: else will give him a shot. Maybe I don't know. Maybe,

1142
00:56:40,239 --> 00:56:43,160
Speaker 1: I mean, but like Nick said, like I'm not worried

1143
00:56:43,239 --> 00:56:45,680
Speaker 1: for him. No, he's going to have opportunity for Brian

1144
00:56:45,719 --> 00:56:49,040
Speaker 1: brought us. He already won. Yeah, he won this game

1145
00:56:49,080 --> 00:56:50,960
Speaker 1: a long time ago. He absolutely did, and there's no

1146
00:56:51,080 --> 00:56:53,080
Speaker 1: reason for him to be ashamed or embarrassed about this.

1147
00:56:53,200 --> 00:56:55,360
Speaker 1: He has a Harvard education, and like you said, he

1148
00:56:55,400 --> 00:56:57,200
Speaker 1: got an opportunity to live the dream for a bit,

1149
00:56:57,560 --> 00:56:59,680
Speaker 1: even if it was just for a small way, longer

1150
00:56:59,760 --> 00:57:02,200
Speaker 1: than live at the vast majority of us. Absolutely right.

1151
00:57:02,200 --> 00:57:03,920
