Are you ready for 0:00:23.280 --> 0:00:26.960 a break? Yes? Are you ready for a break? Absolutely? 0:00:27.120 --> 0:00:31.280 Ready for a break? Yeah, and so much for that. 0:00:31.520 --> 0:00:36.680 It's time for The Break on Dallas Cowboys dot Com 0:00:37.440 --> 0:00:42.919 with Nick Eatman, David Hellman, and bar Garcia and Derek Eagleton. 0:00:43.000 --> 0:00:46.559 It is Thursday, August first, two thousand, nineteen, Season fifteen, 0:00:46.600 --> 0:00:49.560 episode number eighteen. Welcome to another edition of The Break. 0:00:49.920 --> 0:00:52.279 Amber's cool, but we all feel really good out here 0:00:52.280 --> 0:00:55.280 in Oxnard, California. It's a beautiful day. Cowboys take the 0:00:55.320 --> 0:00:59.240 field again this afternoon. Um they have, they were off yesterday. 0:00:59.240 --> 0:01:01.120 They'll be out for walk through this morning and then 0:01:01.160 --> 0:01:04.640 their regular practice at three thirty pm Pacific time for 0:01:04.680 --> 0:01:07.760 the five thirty. Few guys back in Dallas, and we'll 0:01:07.760 --> 0:01:09.480 be here to cover it all. But for the next 0:01:09.480 --> 0:01:11.840 hour we're talking Cowboys football with you, guys. How's everybody 0:01:11.840 --> 0:01:17.399 feeling this morning? Outstanding? Outstanding as great? Cold? No, yeah, cool? 0:01:17.640 --> 0:01:19.320 All right, we got a lot we want to talk 0:01:19.319 --> 0:01:22.040 about today. We are now a quarter of the way 0:01:22.080 --> 0:01:25.120 through training camp practices, and so we're gonna do a 0:01:25.200 --> 0:01:28.280 quarterly review. I have a lot of questions I'm gonna 0:01:28.319 --> 0:01:30.960 throw at these guys. We're gonna see what their thoughts are. 0:01:31.000 --> 0:01:32.640 It's gonna give you guys a full picture of the 0:01:32.720 --> 0:01:35.920 kinds of things we've seen over these first four practices 0:01:36.160 --> 0:01:38.319 that the Cowboys have had in ox RD. But before 0:01:38.360 --> 0:01:40.560 we get to that, I do also want to make 0:01:40.560 --> 0:01:43.640 a quick programming note. This morning we put out the 0:01:43.640 --> 0:01:46.960 first edition of a program that actually Nick is running 0:01:47.000 --> 0:01:50.360 point on with our our production team, called The Process. Nick, 0:01:50.360 --> 0:01:52.040 you want to tell people what the process is and 0:01:52.080 --> 0:01:54.440 what they should expect from this show. Well, as they've 0:01:54.440 --> 0:01:57.800 heard of the term several times, everything we do here 0:01:57.960 --> 0:02:01.120 is a process and that stems from obviously really Jason Garrett. 0:02:01.920 --> 0:02:04.240 But he's right, you know, he just says that a lot. 0:02:04.280 --> 0:02:07.040 But that's why everyone kind of makes fun of the name. 0:02:07.080 --> 0:02:11.200 But um, the process is something we've been working on 0:02:11.280 --> 0:02:14.880 here this last week, just trying to go behind the 0:02:14.919 --> 0:02:19.119 scenes as much as possible. Again, as much as possible 0:02:19.680 --> 0:02:23.160 mud whether it be you know, the team traveling to 0:02:23.560 --> 0:02:26.160 California or inside some of the meeting rooms. I know 0:02:26.360 --> 0:02:28.600 one of the things was Jerry Jones addressing to the 0:02:28.600 --> 0:02:31.679 team got kind of emotional to the team, and we 0:02:32.200 --> 0:02:34.560 captured that. We have Jason Garrett talking to the team 0:02:34.600 --> 0:02:37.639 and uh huddle, Gary Brown miked up. There's some there's 0:02:37.639 --> 0:02:39.880 some really good segments there, and we're gonna try to 0:02:39.880 --> 0:02:43.120 do that here throughout training camp. So you've seen that 0:02:43.240 --> 0:02:46.919 the show. It's nothing, you know, unique, but it's unique, 0:02:47.000 --> 0:02:48.240 I guess for us to do it out here with 0:02:48.280 --> 0:02:50.400 the Cowboys and for us to do it. Yeah. One 0:02:50.400 --> 0:02:52.880 piece that thought was really interesting was the piece that 0:02:53.080 --> 0:02:56.520 started with the running backs uh sitting having a barbecue 0:02:56.680 --> 0:02:59.119 dinner And actually we shot that back in June when 0:02:59.200 --> 0:03:01.560 Zeke was still with the team, and some really good 0:03:01.560 --> 0:03:04.520 Footish man I tweeted that this morning that although you 0:03:04.600 --> 0:03:06.000 kind of see a piece of that and here's some 0:03:06.040 --> 0:03:08.640 of that conversation that happened, there's a longer piece to 0:03:08.680 --> 0:03:10.200 that we're going to probably put out a little later 0:03:10.280 --> 0:03:13.080 this summer, hopefully by the n Zeke might be back 0:03:13.080 --> 0:03:15.320 with the team, right and we'll have a little more 0:03:15.360 --> 0:03:18.720 to show you guys. But actually maybe you speak right 0:03:18.840 --> 0:03:21.240 and but it was but a really good video and 0:03:21.280 --> 0:03:23.280 good job with that, you guys can expect it. We'll 0:03:23.320 --> 0:03:25.440 be doing those every week throughout training camp for the 0:03:25.520 --> 0:03:28.240 next four or five weeks. So you check that out 0:03:28.280 --> 0:03:29.760 and you can see it on any one of our platforms. 0:03:29.760 --> 0:03:32.639 You got our website, mobile app, connected TV, all that stuff. 0:03:33.120 --> 0:03:35.200 All right, So let's start, as we normally start, with 0:03:35.240 --> 0:03:37.280 a little bit of blanket coverage. I have some statements 0:03:37.280 --> 0:03:39.000 for you guys that will be a blank You fill 0:03:39.040 --> 0:03:42.680 in the blank. The first statement, Michael Thomas, wide receiver 0:03:42.800 --> 0:03:45.640 for the Saints, signed a five year extension worth one 0:03:45.680 --> 0:03:48.480 hundred million dollars over five years, averaging about twenty million 0:03:48.520 --> 0:03:52.760 a year, with sixty one million guaranteed. A Marie Cooper 0:03:52.800 --> 0:04:00.320 should expect blank Dave, Amari Cooper should expect the lore 0:04:00.400 --> 0:04:02.480 of his deal to have raised a little bit. But 0:04:02.640 --> 0:04:05.920 I think I think he already knew that. You know this, 0:04:06.080 --> 0:04:07.760 We knew this was coming. We knew the Saints we're 0:04:07.760 --> 0:04:11.960 gonna get it done. We also know Amari Cooper is 0:04:11.960 --> 0:04:13.400 not going to set the receiver market. I don't like 0:04:13.480 --> 0:04:15.640 nobody in the world expects that to happen. I don't 0:04:15.640 --> 0:04:18.200 think even Amari does. But it just raises the floor 0:04:18.240 --> 0:04:21.320 of what you're capable of asking for. Odell Beckham used 0:04:21.360 --> 0:04:25.320 to set the market at eighteen. Now that's second, and 0:04:25.480 --> 0:04:27.960 so now you know sixteen, all of a sudden, fifteen 0:04:28.000 --> 0:04:31.960 to seventeen doesn't look so shiny. So no, he's not 0:04:32.000 --> 0:04:34.919 gonna set the market. But somewhere between seventeen and eighteen 0:04:35.200 --> 0:04:38.599 per years probably what I think Amario'll get. So again 0:04:38.800 --> 0:04:40.440 I don't. I don't think it's a big surprise, but 0:04:40.480 --> 0:04:44.000 it raises the minimum of what he's capable of asking for. 0:04:44.440 --> 0:04:49.320 Amar should expect what Nick something soon? I mean, I 0:04:49.360 --> 0:04:51.280 think it's kind of what they were waiting for, right, 0:04:52.200 --> 0:04:54.599 I don't think, and Cooper is not really in a 0:04:54.640 --> 0:04:59.400 big hurry, but I don't know if O'Dell's making eighteens. 0:05:00.200 --> 0:05:02.680 See Odell's the one that's gonna come come back in 0:05:02.760 --> 0:05:04.800 this whole deal and want to go over the top 0:05:04.839 --> 0:05:06.960 on that. Well, Julio is still out there as well. 0:05:07.000 --> 0:05:09.159 He's asked for a new Dealio is another one to watch. 0:05:10.120 --> 0:05:12.280 But I don't think that matters. I really don't, because 0:05:12.360 --> 0:05:14.080 Julio is going to go over that, and I don't 0:05:14.080 --> 0:05:17.159 think Cooper goes over that. I mean, I think Cooper 0:05:17.200 --> 0:05:19.400 is sitting at so you don't think, because that would 0:05:19.440 --> 0:05:22.640 raise an interesting question if you think that Amari at 0:05:22.640 --> 0:05:24.480 the end of the day, wants to be the highest 0:05:24.520 --> 0:05:27.800 paid receiver, and he waits for Julio, and Julio goes 0:05:27.839 --> 0:05:29.720 over there. Does I don't don't think that, And I 0:05:29.720 --> 0:05:31.760 think he's kind of come out and said that. I mean, 0:05:31.880 --> 0:05:35.320 nothing about the way he has behaved or talked to 0:05:35.440 --> 0:05:39.560 this offseason suggests he wants that. I like, it's like 0:05:39.640 --> 0:05:42.039 he's just he's the simplest one for me, because like 0:05:42.120 --> 0:05:44.240 he's not making a fuss. I don't think even his 0:05:44.279 --> 0:05:46.240 agent thinks he's supposed to be the highest paid when 0:05:46.240 --> 0:05:48.720 you look at what Michael Thomas has done for the 0:05:48.760 --> 0:05:51.240 first three years of his career, when you look at 0:05:51.600 --> 0:05:54.159 what Julio Jones has done for a decade, at this point, 0:05:55.279 --> 0:05:58.080 he should probably be somewhere between three and six. And 0:05:58.120 --> 0:05:59.560 I think that's where he will be when it's all 0:05:59.560 --> 0:06:02.400 said and done. It's the same thing for Dak Prescott 0:06:02.440 --> 0:06:05.240 for that matter. It's just that everybody kind of agrees 0:06:05.279 --> 0:06:08.520 on Coop, whereas very few people have can figure out 0:06:08.520 --> 0:06:11.120 how they feel about Dak Amber Amari Cooper should expect 0:06:11.800 --> 0:06:15.240 a crop ton of money. Very simple, I'll be honest. 0:06:15.279 --> 0:06:18.559 I mean, I just think that either way, he's gonna 0:06:18.600 --> 0:06:24.680 make a ton of money and yeah it doesn't matter. Yeah, 0:06:24.720 --> 0:06:26.680 it's crab ton of money. Yeah. And you know, when 0:06:26.680 --> 0:06:29.799 it comes to contract talks and money and cap salary 0:06:29.839 --> 0:06:33.520 and blah blah blah, I'm not an expert. I would 0:06:33.520 --> 0:06:35.280 have said the other word. Yeah, I know you would have. 0:06:36.240 --> 0:06:38.560 But you know, I keep, I try to keep. You 0:06:38.600 --> 0:06:41.200 appreciate that. Yeah, all right, So here's the next statement. 0:06:41.279 --> 0:06:45.080 Steven's response to the contract, when asked if it raises 0:06:45.120 --> 0:06:47.920 the price for Mari, was no, I think it's probably 0:06:47.960 --> 0:06:50.160 in line with what we were thinking. I've got a 0:06:50.240 --> 0:06:53.960 little better number than that a Mari should expect blank. 0:06:54.240 --> 0:06:59.760 Nick after hearing what Steven says Steven, after hearing what 0:06:59.800 --> 0:07:02.080 Steve even said, does that change what a mare he 0:07:02.120 --> 0:07:04.919 should expect? Is what I'm asking. But here was Steven's quote, again, No, 0:07:05.240 --> 0:07:07.400 I think it's probably in line with what we were thinking. 0:07:08.080 --> 0:07:11.880 I've got a little better number than that. I've got 0:07:11.920 --> 0:07:13.960 a better number than that. Is he talking about him 0:07:14.200 --> 0:07:17.880 talking about He was asked about specifically Michael Thomas's deal, 0:07:18.560 --> 0:07:22.080 and in this response to whether he thinks that affects 0:07:22.200 --> 0:07:24.240 what they were going to do with a Mari His 0:07:24.320 --> 0:07:26.960 response was, no, I think it's probably in line with 0:07:27.000 --> 0:07:29.360 what we were thinking. I've got a little better number. 0:07:29.400 --> 0:07:32.160 Part it's fine, that's a find number. Yeah, I don't 0:07:32.160 --> 0:07:34.240 know what that means, because I will be shocked if 0:07:34.240 --> 0:07:38.160 a Mari's deal tops Thomas's. Maybe really, because that's what 0:07:38.280 --> 0:07:40.840 That's the impression I got from the quote was we 0:07:40.880 --> 0:07:42.880 actually were thinking a little bit more than It's almost 0:07:42.880 --> 0:07:45.520 like I've got a better idea now, like it's like 0:07:45.560 --> 0:07:48.400 he's got a better idea, because why would he say that? 0:07:48.440 --> 0:07:54.440 Though he also said he said probably in the same interview, 0:07:54.480 --> 0:07:55.920 if I had to guess, he said, and we're damn 0:07:55.920 --> 0:07:57.800 sure not going to be market setters. That was the 0:07:57.880 --> 0:07:59.840 art that was for any of those guys, which that 0:08:00.520 --> 0:08:02.720 which is why I'll be shot. I mean, I don't 0:08:02.760 --> 0:08:07.840 expect him the top uh um Thomas. So maybe he's 0:08:07.880 --> 0:08:10.800 talking about more guarantees. Maybe, And you know, Jerry and 0:08:10.800 --> 0:08:14.800 Stephen Jones have been quick to mention the marketing aspect 0:08:14.880 --> 0:08:17.240 that comes along with being a cornerstone from Cowboys, so 0:08:17.280 --> 0:08:19.120 maybe he was talking about that. Why do I feel 0:08:19.160 --> 0:08:22.080 like his jersey number is gonna be in in play here? 0:08:22.120 --> 0:08:23.600 And why do I feel like it's gonna be that. 0:08:23.640 --> 0:08:26.600 It's gonna be the round nineteen nineteen for nineteen, Like, 0:08:26.640 --> 0:08:28.760 I just feel like that's affect I like nineteen for 0:08:28.840 --> 0:08:31.600 nineteen and nineteen in nineteen. I didn't think about that. Damn. Yeah, 0:08:31.640 --> 0:08:33.680 we got a lot of lever. Let's do it. Get 0:08:33.679 --> 0:08:37.320 the graphic people working on it. All right, let's jump 0:08:37.320 --> 0:08:39.920 into our quarterly review. I have us some questions here. 0:08:39.960 --> 0:08:44.320 It's roughly about eight or nine questions made. The point 0:08:44.400 --> 0:08:46.400 is to make you think I'm gonna make you gift 0:08:46.400 --> 0:08:49.440 thoughtful answers. Can you do that? Yeah? And just I 0:08:49.480 --> 0:08:51.480 helped you with them, so yeah, I can only help 0:08:51.520 --> 0:08:53.520 me with two of them. Okay, I want to quibble room, 0:08:53.640 --> 0:08:56.360 that's not fair. If you prepare for well, we're gonna 0:08:56.360 --> 0:08:58.000 be fine. Don't worry. Well he wrote a couple of them. 0:08:58.000 --> 0:08:59.959 Go ahead, how about I was in the tent before 0:09:00.000 --> 0:09:03.960 the shows. It's two practices. It's two practices, not for 0:09:04.480 --> 0:09:07.240 right routes on air don't count. So like to call 0:09:07.280 --> 0:09:10.199 this a quarterly review feels, you know, I feel like 0:09:10.320 --> 0:09:13.800 sixteen practices they've had. I know I knew you were 0:09:13.800 --> 0:09:16.960 gonna lay all right. I feel like I should no 0:09:17.040 --> 0:09:19.400 way more from this team right now, and I don't 0:09:19.920 --> 0:09:24.520 can only watch two I will. I will say this too, Lamber. 0:09:24.600 --> 0:09:26.280 I actually feel the exact same way as I was 0:09:26.280 --> 0:09:28.400 writing some of these. Some of these are going to 0:09:28.520 --> 0:09:30.640 rely on you taking kind of what you know of 0:09:30.679 --> 0:09:33.079 the player from last year, what you know of them 0:09:33.080 --> 0:09:36.000 from the offseason, and then compare that to the two 0:09:36.040 --> 0:09:38.360 practices you've had to see if that corroborates what you 0:09:38.360 --> 0:09:41.720 can involves a great game. All right, let's do it. 0:09:41.760 --> 0:09:43.600 I think this is a good idea and a great game. 0:09:43.640 --> 0:09:45.079 You're doing it. Guess why you and I've been doing 0:09:45.080 --> 0:09:48.520 this for fifteen years. It's because Dave, you should know 0:09:48.679 --> 0:09:51.360 by now. As soon as you start questioning this, he's like, well, 0:09:51.400 --> 0:09:54.719 you know what tomorrow to show, right exactly, And I'll 0:09:54.760 --> 0:09:57.480 be sitting over here like talking about let's go right 0:09:57.559 --> 0:10:00.520 here we go. First question, who's more prime for a 0:10:00.520 --> 0:10:07.920 breakout year? Xavier Woods or Connor Williams. Xavier Woods because 0:10:08.440 --> 0:10:10.800 he plays a position that enables him to do that. 0:10:10.880 --> 0:10:14.160 I mean, you know nobody looks at offensive line except 0:10:14.160 --> 0:10:17.200 for the tip us. Well yeah, I mean obviously people do, 0:10:17.240 --> 0:10:20.800 but it's way harder to stand out, especially when there's 0:10:20.920 --> 0:10:24.160 so many other great players on that offensive line, but 0:10:24.200 --> 0:10:26.000 let's put it all in relative terms. And I'm not 0:10:26.040 --> 0:10:29.720 talking so much about for the purposes of fan fair 0:10:29.880 --> 0:10:33.360 I'm talking more from the purposes of an evaluator who's 0:10:33.360 --> 0:10:35.360 looking at this team and saying, man, this player went 0:10:35.400 --> 0:10:37.480 from being a decent player to being a really great 0:10:37.480 --> 0:10:41.080 player who's had the who's in, who's better prepared to 0:10:41.120 --> 0:10:43.160 have that kind of breakout year. The last thing we 0:10:43.240 --> 0:10:45.880 saw before the off day was Xavier Woods pick six. 0:10:46.000 --> 0:10:48.040 Dak Prescott read him like a book. It was a 0:10:48.040 --> 0:10:50.240 beautiful play and he was I mean, he's he has 0:10:50.280 --> 0:10:52.840 gotten better every year of his career. They didn't draft 0:10:52.840 --> 0:10:54.920 the safety because that's how in love they are with 0:10:55.080 --> 0:10:58.080 Xavier Woods. That's Chris Richard, that's coming out of his mouth. 0:10:58.679 --> 0:11:03.800 So Savior Woods. All right, Amber, Well, I'm gonna go 0:11:03.840 --> 0:11:09.000 with Connor. I mean why because we're buddies now, he's 0:11:09.040 --> 0:11:12.520 my buddy. No, no, no, I think he's made you 0:11:12.559 --> 0:11:16.880 can tell and with us just seeing two practices here, 0:11:17.160 --> 0:11:20.280 you can already tell the difference between last year and 0:11:20.360 --> 0:11:23.440 the change in his body and the strength that he 0:11:23.480 --> 0:11:26.680 has gained. Yes, Xavier Woods, I like what I've seen 0:11:26.720 --> 0:11:29.079 so far, but I don't want to get too excited 0:11:29.160 --> 0:11:32.600 just yet, because I've seen that happen before, where you're 0:11:32.600 --> 0:11:35.520 at training camp and you're making place, intercepting the ball 0:11:35.559 --> 0:11:37.880 and this and that, but then once the season comes, 0:11:38.200 --> 0:11:41.079 it kind of fades away and disappears a little bit. 0:11:41.120 --> 0:11:44.120 So I'm not ready to jump on that train of 0:11:44.160 --> 0:11:46.720 the Xavier Woods have faith in him. I like what 0:11:46.800 --> 0:11:49.880 I see so far, but let's wait a little bit. 0:11:49.960 --> 0:11:52.560 The one thing I will say that that might make 0:11:52.600 --> 0:11:54.520 you feel a little bit better about that is usually 0:11:54.520 --> 0:11:56.320 I agree with you. But usually when you see that, 0:11:56.400 --> 0:11:59.680 it's skill position, it's defensive backs, it's those kind of guys. 0:12:00.160 --> 0:12:03.760 It's rare that you see an offensive lineman looking good 0:12:03.800 --> 0:12:05.400 in camp and then all of a sudden in the 0:12:05.440 --> 0:12:08.280 season he's not right, um, because looking good in camp 0:12:08.360 --> 0:12:11.000 is just all about bullying people, basically. Yeah, and I 0:12:11.080 --> 0:12:12.880 And that's the one thing I've been excited to see 0:12:12.920 --> 0:12:14.559 out here, Like there have been a couple of times 0:12:14.600 --> 0:12:17.080 when I've seen him, like Nick says, he just basically 0:12:17.120 --> 0:12:20.160 locks down, like he sits down and the guy doesn't move. 0:12:20.320 --> 0:12:22.040 You didn't see that a lot from Connor last year. 0:12:22.040 --> 0:12:24.480 It looks like different. He looks very very strong and stout. 0:12:24.559 --> 0:12:26.400 And that's the part that I really love about him. 0:12:26.480 --> 0:12:29.600 Nick Connor Um he has a golf cart, and and 0:12:29.600 --> 0:12:31.880 and and he has a golf cart. Explain that the 0:12:31.920 --> 0:12:35.000 golf cart means that these are the Conditioning UM Strength 0:12:35.000 --> 0:12:37.560 and Conditioning Award winners for the season. He's the guy 0:12:37.640 --> 0:12:39.760 that that worked really really hard. Not to say that 0:12:39.800 --> 0:12:44.400 any of the guys didn't. Does he I don't think. 0:12:44.480 --> 0:12:48.040 I don't think he does either way. I mean Connor 0:12:48.200 --> 0:12:50.120 needed to get a little stronger. He did. When you 0:12:50.120 --> 0:12:52.440 look at the Rams game last year. He played well 0:12:52.480 --> 0:12:54.839 in that game against a pretty decent player and Aaron 0:12:54.840 --> 0:12:59.240 Donald joke and h Xavier Woods struggled a little bit 0:12:59.400 --> 0:13:00.959 if I remember Bird some of the some of the 0:13:01.000 --> 0:13:04.120 plays in the open field. Also, Xavier Woods plays next 0:13:04.160 --> 0:13:07.320 to Jeff Heath and he played and he plays next 0:13:07.360 --> 0:13:10.200 to Tyron Smith. So I think you have better you 0:13:10.200 --> 0:13:12.000 have a better chance to play to look good when 0:13:12.040 --> 0:13:15.520 you play next to Tyron Smith and and Travis Well 0:13:15.800 --> 0:13:19.760 maybe yeah, yeah, you're breaking news here. No, I'm just 0:13:19.800 --> 0:13:22.480 saying maybe. I mean a long way to go because 0:13:26.240 --> 0:13:28.640 smiss one of them all right now, and I don't 0:13:28.640 --> 0:13:31.040 want to. I love that you guys are picking Connor 0:13:31.240 --> 0:13:32.800 and I mean, I'm sorry, yeah, picking Connor. But I 0:13:33.080 --> 0:13:35.320 also I want to reiterate what Dave saying, like Xavier, 0:13:35.400 --> 0:13:37.920 he's looked really good out here too, and he's a 0:13:37.920 --> 0:13:40.080 guy that they believe in quite a big play along 0:13:40.360 --> 0:13:42.000 somebody these two. You can answer, yeah, I might answer 0:13:42.040 --> 0:13:45.600 after I have been giving your perspective my perspective throughout 0:13:45.679 --> 0:13:48.400 all right, here's the second question, more impression, I'm sorry, 0:13:48.440 --> 0:13:51.440 more impressive unit thus far through as a Dave says, 0:13:51.440 --> 0:13:54.880 to training camp practice and you got defensive backs, offensive 0:13:54.960 --> 0:13:59.120 line or linebackers, who's been more impressive? And Bro'll start 0:13:59.120 --> 0:14:05.440 with you, uh honest, Well, because of what I've been 0:14:05.440 --> 0:14:09.160 paying more attention to, I would say the old line. 0:14:09.720 --> 0:14:11.640 I mean, when they go on those one on ones, 0:14:12.280 --> 0:14:14.960 you cannot not watch. You have to be locked in 0:14:15.080 --> 0:14:17.560 on what they're doing and just watching. I mean, it's 0:14:17.600 --> 0:14:21.000 amazing how powerful and strong they are and they will 0:14:21.160 --> 0:14:26.400 dominate you. So old line for me, Nick, Yeah, the 0:14:26.520 --> 0:14:30.119 old line is what we're seeing, um that they're dominating 0:14:30.240 --> 0:14:33.320 a lot more. I will say that, you know, Crawford 0:14:33.440 --> 0:14:36.400 and d Law not being out there kind of affects 0:14:36.440 --> 0:14:39.240 that and you could say, Frederick, you know, probably it 0:14:39.240 --> 0:14:42.320 hasn't been out there either, but um, you just see 0:14:42.640 --> 0:14:48.120 you see the defensive backs struggle some um the linebackers. 0:14:47.920 --> 0:14:50.520 That's just tough right now to tell that one. The 0:14:50.560 --> 0:14:52.960 offensive line is given you to me the best perspective 0:14:53.000 --> 0:14:55.720 of what they're doing, So I would say them, it 0:14:55.880 --> 0:14:58.240 is the old line, But shout out to the dbs. 0:14:58.320 --> 0:15:01.040 They got two picks at the last p so they've 0:15:01.040 --> 0:15:05.240 done some stuff. Linebacker is the absolute hardest position to 0:15:05.320 --> 0:15:09.280 shine in training camp, but Layton and Jalen just look 0:15:09.360 --> 0:15:12.000 like athletic super freaks out there. They don't get to 0:15:12.040 --> 0:15:14.520 do anything, but they look impressive. But it's though line. 0:15:14.680 --> 0:15:17.240 How surprising is it to you that the defensive backs 0:15:17.280 --> 0:15:19.720 have looked as good as they have and they're arguably 0:15:19.720 --> 0:15:24.280 their best player isn't even out there. Yeah, I mean 0:15:25.080 --> 0:15:28.440 not that surprising because I think if you were to say, 0:15:28.440 --> 0:15:30.960 what's you know, who's the Who's the coach that that 0:15:31.080 --> 0:15:33.120 you know is kind of gets the most out of 0:15:33.120 --> 0:15:36.240 his players, you know, you would say maybe Christopher Shard. 0:15:36.280 --> 0:15:37.960 I mean, he just does a really great job. You 0:15:38.000 --> 0:15:39.760 can see it by just being out here. How good 0:15:39.760 --> 0:15:42.040 he is as a coach, and so his units aren't 0:15:42.080 --> 0:15:44.680 gonna suck, you know the matter why they're just not 0:15:45.080 --> 0:15:46.880 going to and he's going to be you know, he 0:15:46.920 --> 0:15:50.240 takes this thing, you know, very seriously every practice, and 0:15:50.280 --> 0:15:54.320 so it doesn't surprise me. But there's some good battles. 0:15:54.360 --> 0:15:56.920 I mean, they've they've given up some some big plays. 0:15:57.000 --> 0:15:58.960 I'm not I'm not part of being a defensive back. 0:15:59.320 --> 0:16:01.240 I don't care who you are, you're gonna give up plays. 0:16:01.440 --> 0:16:03.440 The point is you better win some too. And they're 0:16:03.440 --> 0:16:05.880 winning something I'm not ready to say. They're like balling 0:16:05.920 --> 0:16:08.160 out of control with al Byron Jones, Like they got 0:16:08.240 --> 0:16:11.040 two picks in team period. They also got dusted on 0:16:11.080 --> 0:16:14.720 the first day multiple times. This is probably you know, 0:16:14.760 --> 0:16:16.720 I've said it for years about oh let's get some 0:16:16.760 --> 0:16:18.920 speed over here. This is probably the fastest group of 0:16:18.920 --> 0:16:21.800 wide receivers that they've had from one to like ten 0:16:22.360 --> 0:16:25.400 that I've seen that I can remember. Now a lot 0:16:25.440 --> 0:16:27.240 of those guys are going to be off the team, though, 0:16:27.600 --> 0:16:31.320 you know, some of the the guys that get cut 0:16:31.360 --> 0:16:33.640 could probably make a four by you know, one hundred 0:16:33.680 --> 0:16:36.320 meter relay team and beat the starters. I would love 0:16:36.360 --> 0:16:38.560 to see that. They would definitely beat them, don't you. 0:16:39.120 --> 0:16:41.160 I'm I don't know about definitely, but I'd love to watch. 0:16:41.360 --> 0:16:44.440 Hell yeah, I mean Reggie Davis, John Vay, Jalen Guden 0:16:44.880 --> 0:16:49.080 and those guys can run, and Devin Smith against Gallup 0:16:49.160 --> 0:16:52.600 Cooper I have on. I might have to take the backups. 0:16:52.640 --> 0:16:55.360 I don't know. I would love to watch that. That'd 0:16:55.360 --> 0:16:56.760 be fun. All right, let's go ahead and take our 0:16:56.760 --> 0:16:59.000 first break. When we come back, we will actually continue 0:16:59.000 --> 0:17:00.880 on that topic of the why receivers. I want to know, 0:17:00.960 --> 0:17:03.800 outside of Amark Cooper, who's been the most impressive wide 0:17:03.800 --> 0:17:06.639 receiver out here through the first two days of training 0:17:06.680 --> 0:17:08.320 camp practice.
