1
00:00:03,520 --> 00:00:04,040
Speaker 1: The following.

2
00:00:04,120 --> 00:00:06,040
Speaker 2: He is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com and

3
00:00:06,080 --> 00:00:07,800
Speaker 2: the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.

4
00:00:09,920 --> 00:00:10,960
Speaker 3: Cowboys.

5
00:00:12,920 --> 00:00:17,759
Speaker 2: This is these Cowboys Storylines with Nick Eatman.

6
00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:25,200
Speaker 4: What is up at this time for another edition of

7
00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:29,720
Speaker 4: Cowboys Storyline? I am Nick Eatman here at Oxnard, California.

8
00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:34,640
Speaker 4: My favorite producer of all time is here, Chris beam Man.

9
00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:40,280
Speaker 4: I owe him a big round of something. We are here.

10
00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:44,160
Speaker 4: We got big news. Malie Hooker is the big news,

11
00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:46,600
Speaker 4: and it was supposed to be because he's gonna join

12
00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:50,280
Speaker 4: the set. We did an interview with him, just to

13
00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:52,320
Speaker 4: tell you how it goes. We did an interview with

14
00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:56,600
Speaker 4: him already, and then of course news broke a little

15
00:00:56,640 --> 00:00:58,840
Speaker 4: bit after that. So now we're switching up a little bit.

16
00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:00,920
Speaker 4: We're gonna throw to the interview later on in the segment.

17
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:02,760
Speaker 4: We're gonna start though, right now, like we do with

18
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:07,000
Speaker 4: every show, we start with storylines. You know, I don't

19
00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:10,360
Speaker 4: know why I never really played baseball, but I think

20
00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:12,880
Speaker 4: it's probably because I couldn't hit a curveball very well.

21
00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:14,800
Speaker 4: I might just want to, like right down the middle,

22
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:17,319
Speaker 4: you know, don't do anything curves. And that's what happens

23
00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:19,640
Speaker 4: sometimes when our business gets thrown a little curveball every

24
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:23,479
Speaker 4: now and again. Hopefully we can knock this one out

25
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:26,880
Speaker 4: of the park. We'll see. But what we're doing this live.

26
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:29,320
Speaker 4: This is the first time that Cowboy storyline has been live,

27
00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:32,560
Speaker 4: so hopefully we'll be able to answer some of your

28
00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:36,720
Speaker 4: texts and when our new text line, which is eight

29
00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:39,440
Speaker 4: one seven two nine zero three two nine eight eight

30
00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:45,160
Speaker 4: one seven two nine zero three two nine eight. All right,

31
00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:49,480
Speaker 4: let's get after it here. Let's talk about Malik Hooker

32
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:53,920
Speaker 4: is in the process as we speak of probably signing

33
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:57,360
Speaker 4: a three year extension worth about twenty four million dollars,

34
00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:01,280
Speaker 4: about sixteen million of that, from my understand is guaranteed,

35
00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:04,520
Speaker 4: uh locks him up. Now, this was supposed to be

36
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:07,240
Speaker 4: a contract year, which is what I asked him about.

37
00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:08,840
Speaker 4: So he did tell me that it would have been

38
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:11,079
Speaker 4: nice he could have maybe said a little bit more

39
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:12,919
Speaker 4: to it now, but this thing, from what I hear,

40
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:15,320
Speaker 4: is really just kind of popped up. This is one

41
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:18,120
Speaker 4: of those deals where the agent cowboys that say, hey,

42
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 4: let's get this thing knocked out. And this is good

43
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:22,600
Speaker 4: because this this locks up your your secondary and your

44
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:24,720
Speaker 4: safety position. You got Donovan Wilson on a three year

45
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:28,440
Speaker 4: deal now you got three more years with with malle Cooker.

46
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:32,720
Speaker 4: Obviously Trayvon Diggs as well. You know, we'll see where

47
00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:35,600
Speaker 4: the you know, we're how long Gilmour plays for and

48
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:39,320
Speaker 4: but still your You've got your secondary that's in a

49
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:42,560
Speaker 4: really really good spot right now. So I think this

50
00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:46,160
Speaker 4: is this is a big deal for you know, for

51
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:49,720
Speaker 4: the Cowboys. Obviously a big deal for Mallie Cooker. So

52
00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:52,080
Speaker 4: that's that's what we're looking at right now for for

53
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:57,000
Speaker 4: the Cowboys. I would imagine he will sign his contract

54
00:02:57,080 --> 00:03:00,800
Speaker 4: later today and uh we probably will get him, you know,

55
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:04,280
Speaker 4: on the podium for the media to talk about him,

56
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:08,000
Speaker 4: I mean talking about his contract here at some point

57
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:11,280
Speaker 4: in the next couple of days. So MALIEK Cooker wasn't

58
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:13,960
Speaker 4: He wasn't the guy on my Bengo card that I

59
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:16,800
Speaker 4: that I had for the next one to sign. But

60
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:19,920
Speaker 4: I will say this, Isaiah Stampek is a witness to this.

61
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:23,760
Speaker 4: I made a claim yesterday from two things that I

62
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:27,280
Speaker 4: saw on the field, just body language from different people.

63
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:30,960
Speaker 4: I said, in the next twenty four hours, someone is

64
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:33,920
Speaker 4: signing a new contract. I did not have it as

65
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:37,000
Speaker 4: MALIEK Cooker. So I don't know if that even counts.

66
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:41,000
Speaker 4: But that's that's another guy that's not even somebody that

67
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:44,120
Speaker 4: that we that we thought really was was gonna, you know,

68
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:46,360
Speaker 4: be in the mix for a new deal. But I

69
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:50,680
Speaker 4: liked that they did, and so let's let's move on.

70
00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:53,280
Speaker 4: Let's look at real quick safety position again. Like we

71
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:56,880
Speaker 4: said right now, Donovan Wilson banged up, but he did

72
00:03:56,920 --> 00:03:58,640
Speaker 4: sign a three year deal. He's been out in most

73
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:01,160
Speaker 4: of the training camp. Israel mcwah has been out with

74
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:03,240
Speaker 4: a hamstring injury as well, So the two of them

75
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:07,000
Speaker 4: banged up not not in the lineup, which actually can

76
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:09,680
Speaker 4: be a good thing for others. Janie Thomas has gotten

77
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:13,000
Speaker 4: a lot of reps, Tyler Coyle has gotten some snaps

78
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:16,480
Speaker 4: in there. Of course, MALIEK. Cooker as well. So we're

79
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:19,560
Speaker 4: going to see obviously a lot more of Malik first

80
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:21,920
Speaker 4: round draft pick from the Colts a few years back.

81
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:24,919
Speaker 4: He's been dealing with injuries, but now this is really

82
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:30,000
Speaker 4: his third season with the Cowboys, and clearly they they

83
00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:33,240
Speaker 4: are liking what they've what they're seeing out of him,

84
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:36,719
Speaker 4: obviously to lock him up for three years. All right, Again,

85
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:40,080
Speaker 4: if you want to send a text on the text line,

86
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:42,840
Speaker 4: we are we are live here eight one seven two

87
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:45,720
Speaker 4: nine zero three two nine eight. We've gotten a lot

88
00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:50,480
Speaker 4: of texts and some calls and some emails tweets that

89
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:54,159
Speaker 4: we will read. Uh, and I'll answer for the third segment.

90
00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:54,800
Speaker 3: Uh.

91
00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:58,760
Speaker 4: Again, We've got an interview in the can with MALIEK.

92
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:01,719
Speaker 4: Cooker and he's going to have a great poker face

93
00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:06,000
Speaker 4: when it comes to asking about a new contract because

94
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:08,440
Speaker 4: he didn't really talk about it, but he talked about

95
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:11,119
Speaker 4: a lot of other cool stuff which will we will discuss. Okay,

96
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:17,600
Speaker 4: more storylines really quick here. Every day Zach Martin isn't here,

97
00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:22,960
Speaker 4: it's another fifty thousand dollars fine for him, and again

98
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:26,080
Speaker 4: I'm not too concerned about it from his standpoint, other

99
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:28,839
Speaker 4: than losing fifty grand a year. I guess I guess

100
00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:30,960
Speaker 4: he's okay with that. But I do think, you know,

101
00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:34,159
Speaker 4: he should be staying off his feet. It's probably staying

102
00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:37,159
Speaker 4: in shape. And he knows the offense well. He's a

103
00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:40,120
Speaker 4: plug and play guy without a doubt. So when he

104
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:44,000
Speaker 4: comes back, it'll be fine. Maybe an hour of rust.

105
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:45,960
Speaker 4: He should be ready to go. As long as he's

106
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:48,120
Speaker 4: there for the giants. I don't think anyone's too concerned

107
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:51,719
Speaker 4: but you want a happy Zach Martin. You want someone

108
00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:55,719
Speaker 4: that is you know, and he's the ultimate professional. I

109
00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:58,640
Speaker 4: don't think it's gonna be a problem with him coming back.

110
00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:02,400
Speaker 4: You hope that this the situation has resolved to the

111
00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:04,080
Speaker 4: point where he could come in and do his job

112
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:07,159
Speaker 4: whenever whenever that is, whenever that that happened. In the meantime,

113
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:10,320
Speaker 4: Josh Ball has taken a lot of snaps there and

114
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:14,039
Speaker 4: right a guard. I think he looks pretty good. I

115
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:16,480
Speaker 4: was a little surprised, honestly, that that he's that he's

116
00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:18,400
Speaker 4: done there. I've always thought he's a tackle, and that's

117
00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:21,640
Speaker 4: mainly me stereotyping the fact that he's six eight. If

118
00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:24,880
Speaker 4: you're six eight, you're probably in the NBA, and if not,

119
00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:27,680
Speaker 4: if you're gonna play football, you're gonna be either the

120
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:30,440
Speaker 4: tackle spot or maybe defensive end. You know, what are

121
00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:33,560
Speaker 4: we talk about in the trenches? How do you? How

122
00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:36,240
Speaker 4: do you get beat? It's the leverage and when you're

123
00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:39,880
Speaker 4: six eight, every defensive tackle is already lower than you,

124
00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:43,160
Speaker 4: so it's really tough to to to play that position

125
00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:46,039
Speaker 4: when you're that tall. That's the challenge. I think Josh

126
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:48,960
Speaker 4: Ball is going to be dealing with right now, and

127
00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:52,160
Speaker 4: you know, I, well, we'll see. I think these are

128
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:56,760
Speaker 4: valuable reps that that he is getting, and he'll be

129
00:06:56,800 --> 00:06:58,719
Speaker 4: in there for the for the preseason. We did see

130
00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:01,880
Speaker 4: a question here about what the preseason offensive line the

131
00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:05,200
Speaker 4: starting five is gonna look like. That that was not

132
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:09,120
Speaker 4: the easiest question to answer, so I think, but this

133
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:10,600
Speaker 4: is what we're talking about right now. This is what

134
00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:13,360
Speaker 4: happens in the preseason. You're not as worried about the

135
00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:16,960
Speaker 4: Zach Martin right now. Yes, chemistry is a thing you'd

136
00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:18,920
Speaker 4: like for him to kind of work with the guys.

137
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:21,440
Speaker 4: But I think whenever he does come back, whenever that is,

138
00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:23,680
Speaker 4: I think that they're gonna be just fine.

139
00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:24,040
Speaker 3: All right.

140
00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:27,680
Speaker 4: Like I said, we've got the Cowboys text line. This

141
00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:30,520
Speaker 4: is I think the second day that we've had this

142
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:34,280
Speaker 4: on the podcast. Cowboys Break used it yesterday, I know,

143
00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:37,200
Speaker 4: Talking Cowboys did some of the other shows as well.

144
00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:39,920
Speaker 4: I'll definitely be using when the season comes, when I'm

145
00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:43,560
Speaker 4: back at the Star, I'll definitely be using this for sure,

146
00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:46,240
Speaker 4: and I'm using it now as well. In fact, we

147
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:49,440
Speaker 4: just got one in. It looks like a two to

148
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:53,640
Speaker 4: one five area code. The question is about the hooker contract,

149
00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:55,800
Speaker 4: he said. With Hooker's deal and Dig's deal, as well

150
00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:58,840
Speaker 4: as getting Gilmour, it seems the team has done a

151
00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:02,559
Speaker 4: one point eighty when it comes to paying dbs since

152
00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:07,560
Speaker 4: Carr Brandon Carr. I don't know if it's been a

153
00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:10,600
Speaker 4: one eighty. I don't think that they've changed the mentality

154
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:15,160
Speaker 4: of corners and safeties. I think it's the fact that

155
00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:17,600
Speaker 4: they've got good ones that they could you know, they

156
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:20,960
Speaker 4: can they can get in here and pay. I mean this,

157
00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:23,360
Speaker 4: this is a team that moved up to the number

158
00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:26,920
Speaker 4: sixth pick in the draft and surprised everyone to go

159
00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:27,320
Speaker 4: get more.

160
00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:31,880
Speaker 1: Clayborne didn't work out. You know, Mo.

161
00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:37,920
Speaker 4: Wasn't I don't know, was it as good as he

162
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:40,000
Speaker 4: was in college? I mean as simple as that he's

163
00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:43,679
Speaker 4: confidence wasn't great for a corner you have to have that, uh,

164
00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:48,920
Speaker 4: you know, and and that he wasn't just a great player,

165
00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:51,600
Speaker 4: but as great as you would want your number six

166
00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:54,199
Speaker 4: pick to be. I don't think they've done a one

167
00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:57,760
Speaker 4: eighty honestly in paying them. I think they they really

168
00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:01,800
Speaker 4: like what Hooker can do. Gil More. I think where

169
00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:03,400
Speaker 4: they they made the big change, and I kind of

170
00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:05,640
Speaker 4: see where you're going. I think the one eighty was

171
00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:08,520
Speaker 4: going to get veteran guys and doing what you need

172
00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:11,080
Speaker 4: to do, whether it be a trade, giving up draft

173
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:16,720
Speaker 4: capital to go get a Gilmore, go get Brandon Cooks.

174
00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:19,560
Speaker 4: That to me was the biggest change. They love to

175
00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:22,880
Speaker 4: pick players, they love draft picks. To give draft picks

176
00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:26,560
Speaker 4: up is not the easiest thing, even though they did

177
00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:28,880
Speaker 4: it and they got a couple of veterans. I think

178
00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:32,520
Speaker 4: that the mindset is always to keep the corners in

179
00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:36,200
Speaker 4: safeties and have a great secondary. I just think they've

180
00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:38,920
Speaker 4: got better ones than they've had in the past. That's

181
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:41,640
Speaker 4: that's That's kind of what I think here, So bear

182
00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:43,400
Speaker 4: with me. I'm trying to see if we've got any

183
00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:52,080
Speaker 4: more questions about this, not really about so far that

184
00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:55,880
Speaker 4: about the money Cooker Hooker deal, uh, some of these

185
00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:58,680
Speaker 4: others though we'll definitely take care in the in the

186
00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:01,160
Speaker 4: third segment here. So all right, we're gonna move on

187
00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:05,000
Speaker 4: and we're gonna take a break again. Remember we interviewed MALIEK.

188
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:07,160
Speaker 4: Cooker earlier in the day. The show was supposed to

189
00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:10,400
Speaker 4: go out a little earlier. We interviewed him, so he's

190
00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:12,200
Speaker 4: got a night. He talks about a lot of things

191
00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:15,000
Speaker 4: at that moment. He really could not speak at all

192
00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:19,040
Speaker 4: to a contract signing, so that it won't be included

193
00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:22,959
Speaker 4: in this, but we will will definitely talk with him.

194
00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:25,240
Speaker 4: It's a fun interview. He has some great things to

195
00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:28,520
Speaker 4: say about his teammates. So we'll be right back here

Speaker 4: safety Malik Hooker. It joins the show here and Malik,

237
00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:47,720
Speaker 4: it's been two years since they just brought you in

238
00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:50,280
Speaker 4: here in the middle of camp. That seems like twenty

239
00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:52,280
Speaker 4: years ago. It probably feels that way for you too,

240
00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:54,520
Speaker 4: Just so many things that have changed and kind of

241
00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:58,560
Speaker 4: where the situation is now. How much are you enjoying this,

242
00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:01,320
Speaker 4: you know, this dance now as opposed to where you

243
00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:01,920
Speaker 4: were before.

244
00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:04,640
Speaker 9: Oh man, I'm definitely enjoying it a lot, you know obviously,

245
00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:06,680
Speaker 9: you know when I first came in, uh, you know,

246
00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:08,720
Speaker 9: it wasn't really sure what to expect, you know, as

247
00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:11,720
Speaker 9: far as coming to a new team, obviously building with

248
00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:14,120
Speaker 9: some new guys, and you know, this last two years

249
00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:15,959
Speaker 9: been here with these guys, and it's been special. It's

250
00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:17,800
Speaker 9: been special, non sure or less. You know, we're real

251
00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:19,880
Speaker 9: close off the field. You know, we do a lot

252
00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:21,960
Speaker 9: of our events and stuff together off the field.

253
00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:23,840
Speaker 3: So you know, I couldn't ask for more from this group.

254
00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:27,120
Speaker 4: Right now, because when you got here, obviously you'd come

255
00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:29,160
Speaker 4: you were a first round draft pick with the Colts

256
00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:30,120
Speaker 4: and made some plays.

257
00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:31,840
Speaker 1: Of course that the injuries.

258
00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:35,000
Speaker 4: We were an issue. Was it kind of weird to

259
00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:37,480
Speaker 4: come here and say I got to prove myself again?

260
00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:39,240
Speaker 4: Or is that was that kind of the exciting part

261
00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:39,600
Speaker 4: about it?

262
00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:41,520
Speaker 9: No? No, it was exciting for me, you know, because

263
00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:44,000
Speaker 9: I mean, you go through all these dark times, you know, obviously,

264
00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:46,480
Speaker 9: like you said, coming off of the injuries and stuff

265
00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:48,640
Speaker 9: like that, and these ist questions that you ask yourself,

266
00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:50,360
Speaker 9: you know, am I gonna be the same player I

267
00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:53,520
Speaker 9: was before? H Am I gonna be able to perform

268
00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:55,400
Speaker 9: at a high level like I was before? And all

269
00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:57,199
Speaker 9: these things? And uh, you know, like you said, the

270
00:13:57,240 --> 00:13:58,600
Speaker 9: good thing about it, you know, we get to prove

271
00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:00,280
Speaker 9: it to yourself. And I feel like I done a

272
00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:02,319
Speaker 9: good job of doing that a little bit here in Dallas.

273
00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:02,800
Speaker 1: All right.

274
00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:05,120
Speaker 4: I don't know if you've seen a lot of movies

275
00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:09,280
Speaker 4: like this, you see, but what does a three headed

276
00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:13,120
Speaker 4: monster really look like? And how how I mean, what

277
00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:16,160
Speaker 4: is their their biggest strength? Maybe they can see everything.

278
00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:18,480
Speaker 9: I mean, I mean, based off of some of the

279
00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:21,000
Speaker 9: movies I see, I mean, you will see that, you know,

280
00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:23,760
Speaker 9: it's always different characteristics.

281
00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:26,480
Speaker 3: Out of the three headed monsters, you know, they're unique

282
00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:29,400
Speaker 3: in their own way. Whether one you know, shoots fireballs

283
00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:30,200
Speaker 3: or one does this.

284
00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:32,320
Speaker 9: You know, it's just some movies you see different stuff

285
00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:33,960
Speaker 9: from them. So I mean, as far as for hair

286
00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:35,480
Speaker 9: is kind of the same thing. You know, we're all

287
00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:37,680
Speaker 9: unique and different in our own way. And you know,

288
00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:39,840
Speaker 9: the job roles that were kind of placed in, you know,

289
00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:41,840
Speaker 9: we do. We all do that at a very high level.

290
00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:44,240
Speaker 9: We know, and we're very impact at the roles we're given.

291
00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:48,800
Speaker 4: So everybody's got different traits, different roles. I know, loudest

292
00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:51,080
Speaker 4: in the locker room's gotta be Jay Runker. I mean

293
00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:52,840
Speaker 4: we can we can hear it before we even get

294
00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:57,400
Speaker 4: into the locker room. What what do you bring to

295
00:14:57,560 --> 00:15:00,240
Speaker 4: the table that's different? Are you gonna sit? Are you

296
00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:03,880
Speaker 4: the fastest or you I mean probably the most experienced,

297
00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:04,640
Speaker 4: I would imagine.

298
00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:07,120
Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean, I'll probably say just the ball skills

299
00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:09,640
Speaker 9: of aspect, because you know, throughout most of my career,

300
00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:12,080
Speaker 9: I've always been the high safety, the free safety, you know,

301
00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:14,560
Speaker 9: the cover guy, and you know, so I'll say more

302
00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:16,800
Speaker 9: so that aspect of it. I mean, obviously those two

303
00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:19,200
Speaker 9: guys they cover too and stuff like that, but they

304
00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:21,280
Speaker 9: don't get too many chances to really roam the middle

305
00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:23,280
Speaker 9: of the field and stuff like that because of you

306
00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:25,760
Speaker 9: know their characteristics. You know them both guys that play

307
00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:28,320
Speaker 9: the box at a high level. You see JK cover

308
00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:29,440
Speaker 9: the best of the best.

309
00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:31,080
Speaker 3: Weekend a week out and perform at a high level.

310
00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:33,760
Speaker 9: Obviously, you see Donald cover as well as you know,

311
00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:35,840
Speaker 9: make it being an impact player that he is and

312
00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:38,360
Speaker 9: doing different roles. So you just never know what to expect.

313
00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:39,960
Speaker 9: And that's what's so unique about our room. You know,

314
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:42,800
Speaker 9: we got guys that's capable of playing multi positions and

315
00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:43,920
Speaker 9: doing it at a high level.

316
00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:45,440
Speaker 4: Did you ever play baseball?

317
00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:45,840
Speaker 3: Yeah?

318
00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:47,680
Speaker 9: I used to play in middle school. I stopped playing

319
00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:49,440
Speaker 9: that one position, center field.

320
00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:51,800
Speaker 4: I was about to say that's what I was going

321
00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:54,760
Speaker 4: for because I was like, that's kind of where you are.

322
00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:58,480
Speaker 4: And when Micah and Dorans and those guys are just

323
00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:00,160
Speaker 4: having a party at the quarterback.

324
00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:02,640
Speaker 9: To get rid of it exactly exactly, So it's like

325
00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:04,400
Speaker 9: we're kind of all I mean, I mean, it's unique

326
00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:07,360
Speaker 9: because we're in a special situation where you have all

327
00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:08,440
Speaker 9: the pieces.

328
00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:08,720
Speaker 3: To make it like that.

329
00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:10,960
Speaker 9: You know, we have the great defensive line that's able

330
00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:13,840
Speaker 9: to stop the run and rush the quarterback when past situations.

331
00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:16,480
Speaker 9: We have those guys under that able to be sticky

332
00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:20,760
Speaker 9: on receivers outside you know, from Stephens and Digs. So man,

333
00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:23,440
Speaker 9: it's like it's just a perfect combination here for a defense.

334
00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:26,280
Speaker 9: And like I said, guys that's unique in their own

335
00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:28,040
Speaker 9: way and that you know, able to fit in their

336
00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:29,000
Speaker 9: role at a high level.

337
00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:32,120
Speaker 4: I feel like that Rams game you had the interception there,

338
00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:34,760
Speaker 4: I feel like that was kind of the epitome of

339
00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:36,840
Speaker 4: of what this defense is trying to do. Is just

340
00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:39,720
Speaker 4: get after the quarterback, make it uncomfortable, making him thrown

341
00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:41,840
Speaker 4: when he doesn't want to, and then you got back

342
00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:44,400
Speaker 4: end players that can make big plays there.

343
00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:47,040
Speaker 1: It is kind of the deal there.

344
00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:48,320
Speaker 3: Yeah. Absolutely.

345
00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:50,320
Speaker 9: I mean, you know, it's funny because our back even

346
00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:52,680
Speaker 9: from the linebackers, like man, we got the moon and

347
00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:55,200
Speaker 9: laying that guys like they're very instinctive players too, and

348
00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:57,440
Speaker 9: they're capable of, you know, catch interceptions as if they're

349
00:16:57,480 --> 00:17:00,200
Speaker 9: DB's and stuff like that. So man, this team just

350
00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:01,880
Speaker 9: so unique and you know, special, and I can't wait

351
00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:03,320
Speaker 9: to see what we get done this hit.

352
00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:05,160
Speaker 1: Tell me about eleven.

353
00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:10,439
Speaker 4: I mean just okay, when a quarterback gets to the

354
00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:12,880
Speaker 4: line scrimmage, it seems like he's got to okay, where

355
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:15,080
Speaker 4: is Parsons and where you know where a lot of

356
00:17:15,080 --> 00:17:17,160
Speaker 4: these guys are probably starts, like where is.

357
00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:17,480
Speaker 3: He line up?

358
00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:19,880
Speaker 4: Because he lines up everywhere as a safety back there

359
00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:22,560
Speaker 4: do you always you also need to know, okay, where

360
00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:25,600
Speaker 4: he is because that's where more tension is going to

361
00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:27,240
Speaker 4: be and all that stuff. I mean, do you kind

362
00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:29,800
Speaker 4: of have to find where your superstar guys are?

363
00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:32,000
Speaker 9: I mean not really, because like I said, man, there's

364
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:34,840
Speaker 9: guys like we're able to do whatever we want with

365
00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:37,399
Speaker 9: so many guys, Like even if you don't send a

366
00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:39,960
Speaker 9: Michael Parsons, you know we got guys that's from the

367
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:42,280
Speaker 9: secondary that we can send out a JB just as

368
00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:43,560
Speaker 9: impactful and stuff.

369
00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:44,760
Speaker 3: Like that, and not for nothing.

370
00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:47,360
Speaker 9: Like on the other side of Michael, you got Da

371
00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:50,560
Speaker 9: and Michael I mean d Law and guys like that

372
00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:52,440
Speaker 9: coming off the edge on the opposite side of Micah.

373
00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:54,800
Speaker 9: So man, it's just like pick your poison at this

374
00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:57,719
Speaker 9: point because you just never know which guy us on

Speaker 4: it nowadays? Is like there's a lot of these guys.

381

382
00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:14,800
Speaker 4: either one year or two year deal, and even if

Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, it's definitely.

388
00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:25,919
Speaker 9: I mean because at the end of the day, you always,

389
00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:28,720
Speaker 9: like whether you're a starter or a guy that's trying

390
00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:31,080
Speaker 9: to earn a roster spot on it, you just you're

391
00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:33,960
Speaker 9: always in a competition, you know, because at the end

392
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:35,920
Speaker 9: of the day, this is the highest level of ball that.

393
00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:37,680
Speaker 3: You can play. You know, you're playing with the best

394
00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:38,160
Speaker 3: of the best.

395
00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:40,840
Speaker 9: So I mean, as a starter, you can sit there

396
00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:43,080
Speaker 9: and say, all right, well I'm going to hang off

397
00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:45,520
Speaker 9: a little bit, but little do A lot of guys

398
00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:48,000
Speaker 9: and a lot of fans know that that second that

399
00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:50,160
Speaker 9: second team guy, you know, he's just as good as

400
00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:51,520
Speaker 9: the starters and can go in there and do the

401
00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:52,000
Speaker 9: same thing.

402
00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:54,880
Speaker 4: So you want to you want to get some get

403
00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:57,520
Speaker 4: some of these questions here. You got some questions specifically

404
00:18:57,560 --> 00:18:59,679
Speaker 4: for you here. All right, so we're starting off this

405
00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:02,400
Speaker 4: new text line. This is our first time I've actually

406
00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:08,680
Speaker 4: been able to use it for this show. Chris, Sorry Castellano,

407
00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:11,080
Speaker 4: you know I missed that up. But he says, this

408
00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:13,520
Speaker 4: is to you, where would you rank this current defense

409
00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:16,320
Speaker 4: from all the defenses you've been on in your NFL career?

410
00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:18,440
Speaker 4: I guess that could include last year's team as well.

411
00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:20,840
Speaker 3: Uh, this year, I'll say number one. I mean, just

412
00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:22,359
Speaker 3: because the simple fact.

413
00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:24,960
Speaker 9: Of, you know, how much more knowledge a lot of

414
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:27,040
Speaker 9: guys got from this defense. You know, some of us

415
00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:29,199
Speaker 9: being three years in the system, some guys being two

416
00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:31,200
Speaker 9: years in the system. I feel like, you know, we're

417
00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:33,400
Speaker 9: just that much better because we know what they expect,

418
00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:35,680
Speaker 9: and we know what the standard and the bar we've

419
00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:37,920
Speaker 9: set years before has come, and we know that we're

420
00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:40,480
Speaker 9: capable of get and beating that. So you know, we're

421
00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:43,280
Speaker 9: just like this year that you know, a lot of

422
00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:45,439
Speaker 9: guys that people wouldn't expect are going to shine, you know,

423
00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:47,480
Speaker 9: and it's gonna just be from the simple factor of

424
00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:49,320
Speaker 9: just doing your job and being within the system.

425
00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:51,280
Speaker 1: Give me one of those guys, give me a name.

426
00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:53,480
Speaker 1: Somebody we're not expecting it's gonna shine.

427
00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:57,120
Speaker 9: I'll go is he is he mukuamu. I thank him

428
00:19:57,160 --> 00:19:59,399
Speaker 9: coming out of the secondary. I think May's gonna have

429
00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:01,600
Speaker 9: a special here, man, just all for the simple fact

430
00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:04,520
Speaker 9: of the work he's put in, you know how, all

431
00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:07,359
Speaker 9: betting on the self. He is on getting his job done,

432
00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:09,320
Speaker 9: whether it's you know, being down in the box or

433
00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:11,320
Speaker 9: covering whatever the case may be. Man, I just feel

434
00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:13,720
Speaker 9: like he's put the time in as well as you know,

435
00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:16,600
Speaker 9: out of the linebacker room.

436
00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:17,440
Speaker 3: I'll save the moon.

437
00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:20,200
Speaker 9: You know, I've watched him personally take the next step

438
00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:23,600
Speaker 9: to know whether it's a simple ass being a step.

439
00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:24,639
Speaker 3: Faster on the play and stuff like that.

440
00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:26,359
Speaker 9: And he's put the time into the film room to

441
00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:28,120
Speaker 9: be able to capitalize on the plays that he felt

442
00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:29,600
Speaker 9: he should have been better on last year.

443
00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:31,320
Speaker 4: He kind of reminds me of you in the sense

444
00:20:31,359 --> 00:20:34,880
Speaker 4: of that. And I'm not saying that, you know, guys

445
00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:36,480
Speaker 4: don't have fun, but it seems kind of like a

446
00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:40,520
Speaker 4: no nonsense business type approach that he's walked in the

447
00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:41,000
Speaker 4: door with.

448
00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:42,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, absolutely.

449
00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:44,679
Speaker 9: I mean it's because, I mean, and a good thing

450
00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:47,000
Speaker 9: about our culture here, Like guys, you know, we know

451
00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:48,879
Speaker 9: how to be professionals when we're supposed to be.

452
00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:51,159
Speaker 3: So, you know, from since he came in, from.

453
00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:53,000
Speaker 9: Day one, he's been one of those guys that you know,

454
00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:55,600
Speaker 9: he picked a veting, Yeah, whoever that vet was, that's

455
00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:57,440
Speaker 9: who he was studying about how to go about being

456
00:20:57,440 --> 00:20:59,199
Speaker 9: the pro and stuff like that. And you know in

457
00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:01,439
Speaker 9: his room, you know he's been around Laighton. Laighton's been

458
00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:04,000
Speaker 9: in the league for multiple years. There were some other

459
00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:05,800
Speaker 9: guys that we had in the room, Dave's let go

460
00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:09,560
Speaker 9: I'll say Gift, Luke Gifford. Man, he was he was

461
00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:12,000
Speaker 9: a real pro as far as just handling his business,

462
00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:14,320
Speaker 9: going and going about his business every day. So he

463
00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:16,720
Speaker 9: has some good role models in his room to look

464
00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:17,760
Speaker 9: after and stuff like that.

465
00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:19,960
Speaker 3: So I feel like that's why he tends to be

466
00:21:20,040 --> 00:21:20,520
Speaker 3: so serious.

488
00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:13,840
Speaker 3: I feel like those guys.

489
00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:15,879
Speaker 9: Are very capable of going out there and still performing

490
00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:17,440
Speaker 9: at the high level that in the standard that.

491
00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:18,040
Speaker 3: We held here.

492
00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:22,040
Speaker 1: Nice all right, Two questions from fans here.

493
00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:25,719
Speaker 4: Daniel Barnett, he says, with Diggs and Gilmour now locking

494
00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:29,600
Speaker 4: down the outside, do you expect people to attack? How

495
00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:32,040
Speaker 4: do you expect the people to attack through the air?

496
00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:34,720
Speaker 4: Do you think you'll get a little bit more Are

497
00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:35,960
Speaker 4: they gonna just dump it dump it off?

498
00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:36,640
Speaker 1: The running backs.

499
00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:39,080
Speaker 9: Man, it's hard to say because I mean, like I said,

500
00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:43,480
Speaker 9: just just there's so many guys being so effective in

501
00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:44,440
Speaker 9: other areas.

502
00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:47,600
Speaker 3: Like, Man, it's hard to say because I mean as well, last.

503
00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:50,280
Speaker 9: Diggs and you know Gilly being out there lockdown, you

504
00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:52,640
Speaker 9: look in the inside, you tell me, I mean, tight

505
00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:55,000
Speaker 9: end has caught a lot of passes on JK being

506
00:22:55,040 --> 00:22:56,760
Speaker 9: down in the buck. So it's at this point like

507
00:22:56,800 --> 00:22:58,760
Speaker 9: this is just like I said, pig or poison.

508
00:22:58,840 --> 00:23:01,280
Speaker 4: Throw it to the center field, like just here, it's gonna.

509
00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:02,800
Speaker 3: Have to be just a jump ball to somebody or

510
00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:03,440
Speaker 3: something like that.

511
00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:06,200
Speaker 9: But even with that, like, we got great guys myself,

512
00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:08,360
Speaker 9: Like I said, you brought up a couple of guys

513
00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:10,800
Speaker 9: one yea who's done a great, great job coming out

514
00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:12,679
Speaker 9: of the We got so many guys that's capable of

515
00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:13,920
Speaker 9: making an impactful play.

516
00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:15,920
Speaker 3: Come out of the middlefield too, that you know, we're

517
00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:18,040
Speaker 3: looking forward to We're looking forward to it, all right.

518
00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:20,679
Speaker 4: Last one This is from David in South Texas and

519
00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:22,600
Speaker 4: he's kind of flipping it for the offensive side of

520
00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:24,800
Speaker 4: the ball. But since you're back there seeing all this,

521
00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:28,520
Speaker 4: do you see big differences in McCarthy's offense. This year

522
00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:30,639
Speaker 4: from what you saw last year. And also do you

523
00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:33,680
Speaker 4: see Dak a little bit more confident, more in control.

524
00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:36,200
Speaker 9: Yeah, I definitely feel like you know, this year, Dak's

525
00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:39,120
Speaker 9: just I guess, like you said, he's more calm, he's

526
00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:40,080
Speaker 9: confident back there.

527
00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:41,920
Speaker 3: You know, he's making a lot of throws.

528
00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:43,600
Speaker 9: That some people feel like he should have He wouldn't

529
00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:46,120
Speaker 9: have been making hears before and stuff like that, even

530
00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:47,800
Speaker 9: with it, like he looks good doing it. You know,

531
00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:50,000
Speaker 9: those guys, he's getting the ball in the playmaker's hands

532
00:23:50,040 --> 00:23:52,120
Speaker 9: like like they're asking him to do. And those guys

533
00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:54,680
Speaker 9: and they're making making plays like they're supposed to. So man,

534
00:23:54,680 --> 00:23:56,679
Speaker 9: I'm looking forward to seeing what those guys doing offense.

535
00:23:56,760 --> 00:23:58,840
Speaker 4: Any big differences of that you see, like is it

536
00:23:58,880 --> 00:24:01,480
Speaker 4: more underneath stuff they're using cooks in a way that

537
00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:03,639
Speaker 4: could be pretty dangerous for defenses.

538
00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:05,520
Speaker 9: I would say they're just putting the ball more in

539
00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:07,520
Speaker 9: Dak's hands a little more to letting him give him

540
00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:09,199
Speaker 9: more a little more free room to you know, to

541
00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:11,439
Speaker 9: be able to make plays like the playmaker he is

542
00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:13,960
Speaker 9: back there, and I mean we're trusting in the decision

543
00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:15,680
Speaker 9: that he's making the right plays when he gets a

544
00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:17,679
Speaker 9: chance to do that. And like I said, I mean,

545
00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:19,919
Speaker 9: Dak's a guy that you know puts his time and

546
00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:22,440
Speaker 9: all his efforts into making the team better each way.

547
00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:24,479
Speaker 9: I mean, as you've seen, like it's been a battle here,

548
00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:27,120
Speaker 9: it ain't being lopside of defense whooping on the offense,

549
00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:29,119
Speaker 9: or it's been competitionary day.

550
00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:30,800
Speaker 3: So that just tells you how far they've come.

551
00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:32,600
Speaker 1: You didn't say offense whipping on the defense.

552
00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:35,480
Speaker 3: Okay, you didn't say that defense it's been good.

553
00:24:36,480 --> 00:24:38,199
Speaker 1: Okay, I was wondering if you were going to go

554
00:24:38,840 --> 00:24:39,320
Speaker 1: both sides.

555
00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:39,920
Speaker 3: That's good.

556
00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:41,600
Speaker 1: Good to know. It usually happens like that.

557
00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:44,160
Speaker 4: Usually the defense, especially when we started selling new offense,

558
00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:46,800
Speaker 4: the defense always seems to have a little bit kind

559
00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:49,359
Speaker 4: of of a leg up early on. And so but

560
00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:52,119
Speaker 4: I say that some of those goal line drills and

561
00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:54,800
Speaker 4: things like that, where they're offensive drills, it is kind

562
00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:55,680
Speaker 4: of tougher when there's.

563
00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:56,120
Speaker 1: No pass rush.

564
00:24:56,240 --> 00:24:58,320
Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean, I mean it is tougher, But that's

565
00:24:58,359 --> 00:25:00,480
Speaker 9: just putting that much putting that much effort us and

566
00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:02,919
Speaker 9: seeing how good we can be because I mean, like

567
00:25:02,920 --> 00:25:04,840
Speaker 9: you said, there's no pass rush and we can cover

568
00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:06,760
Speaker 9: all day something like that. Man, I feel like you

569
00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:08,640
Speaker 9: know that makes us a difference when it comes out

570
00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:11,200
Speaker 9: to you know, the lay games, when we need a get,

571
00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:12,680
Speaker 9: we need to make a play. You know, I feel

572
00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:14,240
Speaker 9: like then we're gonna be in shape to be able

573
00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:15,119

00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:52,800
Speaker 4: just a few minutes after he sat down with us

624
00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:54,800
Speaker 4: is when all that stuff kind of started to break.

625
00:27:54,840 --> 00:27:57,640
Speaker 4: So you can tell when I asked him about tried

626
00:27:57,680 --> 00:27:59,919
Speaker 4: to get him. I was like, is this a contract

627
00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:00,639
Speaker 4: year for you?

628
00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:02,040
Speaker 1: And he was like, yeah, yeah it is.

629
00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:06,240
Speaker 4: So like I said before, take him to poker, to

630
00:28:06,359 --> 00:28:10,040
Speaker 4: the poker table, He's going to be pretty good. But yeah,

631
00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:12,440
Speaker 4: big big news for the Cowboys, big news for him.

632
00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:16,200
Speaker 4: Uh eight one seven two nine zero three two nine

633
00:28:16,280 --> 00:28:19,800
Speaker 4: eight is the Cowboys text line. We just started this

634
00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:22,200
Speaker 4: a couple of days ago, and we've got some text

635
00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:25,640
Speaker 4: in here, one of them from a two one four

636
00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:29,400
Speaker 4: number actually from McKinny logan from mckinny's his name. He says,

637
00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:32,960
Speaker 4: after this Hooker deal, how much is the hit this year?

638
00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:35,760
Speaker 4: How much space do we have left?

639
00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:36,919
Speaker 3: You know?

640
00:28:36,960 --> 00:28:40,600
Speaker 4: It's just kind of it hasn't actually hit the books

641
00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:43,000
Speaker 4: just yet, and so they're still kind of talking a

642
00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:45,400
Speaker 4: little bit. I think the deal is somewhat done. The

643
00:28:45,480 --> 00:28:50,240
Speaker 4: numbers that you see are a very a lot. I've

644
00:28:50,280 --> 00:28:53,800
Speaker 4: seen four to five million this year. I've seen actually

645
00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:57,160
Speaker 4: less than that. The cap space thing, to me, I

646
00:28:57,240 --> 00:29:00,040
Speaker 4: never really talk about cap space. I never try to

647
00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:03,320
Speaker 4: answer that question because it's so fluid. It's they can

648
00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:06,400
Speaker 4: do whatever they want to do. If they wanted to

649
00:29:06,440 --> 00:29:09,680
Speaker 4: sign C D and DAK, they can do it. They

650
00:29:09,720 --> 00:29:12,360
Speaker 4: can do it right now. It's all about moving money

651
00:29:12,360 --> 00:29:15,200
Speaker 4: around there. You got to be creative. That's kind of

652
00:29:15,240 --> 00:29:19,120
Speaker 4: what they do. So it's a relevant to kind of

653
00:29:19,120 --> 00:29:21,800
Speaker 4: say they have this much left or this much. There's

654
00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:24,240
Speaker 4: not a guy out there that they couldn't sign because

655
00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:26,920
Speaker 4: of the cap They can do what they want, So

656
00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:30,360
Speaker 4: now is it the smartest thing to do? No, they

657
00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:32,400
Speaker 4: got to be. You got to be smart about it.

658
00:29:32,440 --> 00:29:36,560
Speaker 4: But at the same time, they really don't. You know,

659
00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:38,520
Speaker 4: it doesn't work that way. They can do what they

660
00:29:38,600 --> 00:29:40,480
Speaker 4: need to do. All right, let's go to some more questions.

661
00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:43,080
Speaker 4: I think we were done here with Mollie Cooker. We

662
00:29:43,120 --> 00:29:45,080
Speaker 4: know what we've got here. Let's move on to some

663
00:29:45,120 --> 00:29:49,440
Speaker 4: of the other ones. How about Jose Rodriguez. I feel

664
00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:51,400
Speaker 4: Will Greer is having a great camp and has made

665
00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:54,400
Speaker 4: some really nice plays. Do you think he can overtake

666
00:29:54,600 --> 00:30:00,400
Speaker 4: Cooper Rush for quarterback two? Could he? Yeah? He probably could.

667
00:30:01,880 --> 00:30:03,960
Speaker 4: Are they gonna be comfortable with that? Not sure? You know,

668
00:30:04,160 --> 00:30:07,240
Speaker 4: when you win games for a coach, especially the way

669
00:30:07,280 --> 00:30:10,960
Speaker 4: that Cooper Rush has done the last two years, who's

670
00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:13,360
Speaker 4: to say that that Will Greer is going to come

671
00:30:13,360 --> 00:30:15,320
Speaker 4: in and do that. I think he gives you a

672
00:30:15,360 --> 00:30:19,760
Speaker 4: little bit more versatility. Obviously he's more mobile. I could

673
00:30:19,840 --> 00:30:24,560
Speaker 4: run around, you know, throwing the ball. He's I think

674
00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:26,200
Speaker 4: he's got a stronger arm. I don't know if it's

675
00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:29,600
Speaker 4: as accurate. So, but you know, Cooper Rush has won games.

676
00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:32,400
Speaker 4: So it's what could happen is is they could give

677
00:30:32,440 --> 00:30:35,080
Speaker 4: Will Greer a little bit more time in the preseason.

678
00:30:35,160 --> 00:30:37,320
Speaker 4: Maybe he starts a whole game. Maybe he gets to

679
00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:39,880
Speaker 4: play some just to kind of give him that opportunity.

680
00:30:40,080 --> 00:30:42,720
Speaker 4: As the stands right now, I would I would stick

681
00:30:42,760 --> 00:30:46,840
Speaker 4: with Cooper Rush, but it's pretty close to the point

682
00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:49,320
Speaker 4: where maybe you know, Will Greer will get a shot here,

683
00:30:49,560 --> 00:30:53,320
Speaker 4: all right, Jason from Atlanta, how come we never talk

684
00:30:53,360 --> 00:30:56,560
Speaker 4: about Tyron Smith going to guard and Tyler Smith going

685
00:30:56,600 --> 00:30:58,880
Speaker 4: to left tackle. We had Jason Peters move to guard

686
00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:04,440
Speaker 4: last year? The question was from Jason from Atlanta and

687
00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:07,479
Speaker 4: has includes Jason Peters. Just so you know, Jason Peters

688
00:31:07,600 --> 00:31:10,000
Speaker 4: is actually from Atlanta, Texas. I don't think he's the

689
00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:13,400
Speaker 4: one that sent this question, but I'm all about irony here.

690
00:31:13,960 --> 00:31:19,080
Speaker 4: Tyron Smith at guard, No, No, he's played tackle his

691
00:31:19,120 --> 00:31:23,000
Speaker 4: whole career. As much as it sounds weird, it's a

692
00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:25,640
Speaker 4: lot faster inside. The players will say all the time.

693
00:31:25,680 --> 00:31:29,000
Speaker 4: So he's more of a declining player. We know that

694
00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:31,320
Speaker 4: that's what happens when you get to his age. I

695
00:31:31,360 --> 00:31:34,040
Speaker 4: think being on the outside, being able to get his strength,

696
00:31:34,080 --> 00:31:37,720
Speaker 4: get his arms out there and keep the rushers at

697
00:31:37,720 --> 00:31:41,080
Speaker 4: a distance, I think that's probably better for him. He's

698
00:31:41,160 --> 00:31:43,800
Speaker 4: never really played guard. I don't see this being the

699
00:31:43,840 --> 00:31:46,880
Speaker 4: time to change it. Tyler Smith moves back and forth

700
00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:49,440
Speaker 4: as well as anybody. I don't think you change anything there,

701
00:31:49,480 --> 00:31:51,920
Speaker 4: all right, Terry Andrews faithful North Carolina.

702
00:31:51,920 --> 00:31:52,960
Speaker 1: How many running backs.

703
00:31:52,800 --> 00:31:56,280
Speaker 4: Will they keep? And will Douce fit into those plans?

704
00:31:56,320 --> 00:31:59,040
Speaker 4: If he makes it, does it knock out Malik Davis,

705
00:31:59,160 --> 00:32:01,200
Speaker 4: Rico Daddell, Ronald Jones.

706
00:32:02,240 --> 00:32:04,240
Speaker 1: I think Deuces is gonna make the team. I do.

707
00:32:04,280 --> 00:32:06,360
Speaker 4: I just think that there's he's too dynamic of a

708
00:32:06,400 --> 00:32:08,960
Speaker 4: player in college to at least not try to see

709
00:32:09,240 --> 00:32:11,640
Speaker 4: what he can give you. How many running backs do

710
00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:15,240
Speaker 4: they keep? You know, it could be for if if

711
00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:19,560
Speaker 4: those guys do different things, if if if a if

712
00:32:19,640 --> 00:32:22,760
Speaker 4: Malik Davis can play a lot on special teams, or

713
00:32:23,120 --> 00:32:25,200
Speaker 4: you know what does Ronald Jones do when he comes

714
00:32:25,240 --> 00:32:28,960
Speaker 4: back from the suspension. You know Rico Daddle the same too.

715
00:32:28,960 --> 00:32:31,400
Speaker 4: It's got to be special special teams. It's got to

716
00:32:31,440 --> 00:32:33,960
Speaker 4: be maybe a Hunter Lifty that could play some fullback

717
00:32:34,800 --> 00:32:38,160
Speaker 4: or deuced with kick returns. You know you have Tony Pollard.

718
00:32:38,440 --> 00:32:41,280
Speaker 4: I think you're gonna have a solid backup there, probably

719
00:32:41,320 --> 00:32:44,760
Speaker 4: Malik Jones, I mean Leake Davis, uh, maybe Ronald Jones.

720
00:32:44,800 --> 00:32:46,800
Speaker 4: So it's still early there, and there's a lot of

721
00:32:46,800 --> 00:32:50,600
Speaker 4: things that can kind of happen in the preseason games

722
00:32:50,640 --> 00:32:53,040
Speaker 4: as well. All right, another from the text line, this

723
00:32:53,200 --> 00:32:55,120
Speaker 4: is just from a seven to one to three number,

724
00:32:55,160 --> 00:33:00,080
Speaker 4: who has the lead in the kicking competition? No Bud, Brandon, Aubrey,

725
00:33:01,280 --> 00:33:04,040
Speaker 4: Tristan Viscay. You know, they seem to mirror each other

726
00:33:04,040 --> 00:33:06,239
Speaker 4: in practice. If he goes four for six, I go

727
00:33:06,280 --> 00:33:07,880
Speaker 4: four for six. If he goes two for three, I

728
00:33:07,920 --> 00:33:10,320
Speaker 4: go two for three. So they're about the same right now.

729
00:33:10,360 --> 00:33:11,760
Speaker 4: And then one of them has a bad kick, the

730
00:33:11,800 --> 00:33:14,560
Speaker 4: other one has a bad kick advice versa. So that's

731
00:33:14,640 --> 00:33:16,480
Speaker 4: kind of where it stands right now, and nothing's really

732
00:33:16,480 --> 00:33:18,680
Speaker 4: gonna happen until we get to the games, and then

733
00:33:18,720 --> 00:33:21,800
Speaker 4: from there then it's not just these preseason games. It's

734
00:33:21,840 --> 00:33:24,600
Speaker 4: all the preseason games, because everybody's got a couple of

735
00:33:24,680 --> 00:33:27,680
Speaker 4: kickers and you're gonna be evaluating them as well. So

736
00:33:28,040 --> 00:33:30,560
Speaker 4: there could be some Pro Bowl kickers out there that

737
00:33:30,640 --> 00:33:33,160
Speaker 4: have backups that are, you know, just trying to help

738
00:33:33,240 --> 00:33:36,400
Speaker 4: them with save their leg and next thing, you know,

739
00:33:36,440 --> 00:33:39,080
Speaker 4: they went six for seven or six for six in

740
00:33:39,160 --> 00:33:41,360
Speaker 4: the in the preseason, and they may be a better

741
00:33:41,360 --> 00:33:44,000
Speaker 4: option than what you've got. So every kicker that doesn't

742
00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:47,080
Speaker 4: make the roster's gonna be evaluated here. That's what's gonna

743
00:33:47,080 --> 00:33:47,360
Speaker 4: make it.

744
00:33:47,480 --> 00:33:47,640
Speaker 1: You know.

745
00:33:47,840 --> 00:33:50,479
Speaker 4: That's what's gonna be tough for Will McLay and his staff,

746
00:33:50,520 --> 00:33:52,800
Speaker 4: But that's that's the nature of the businesses. There's a

747
00:33:52,840 --> 00:33:54,160
Speaker 4: lot of guys out there, and it's not like you

748
00:33:54,160 --> 00:33:55,600
Speaker 4: have to know the system. You come in and you

749
00:33:55,600 --> 00:33:58,800
Speaker 4: can kick. If you can kick, you can kick. Odell Campbell,

750
00:33:58,880 --> 00:34:02,480
Speaker 4: Junior rock Hill, South Carolina. His question, we haven't heard

751
00:34:02,520 --> 00:34:05,040
Speaker 4: much from Overshown. Do you think he's a game day

752
00:34:05,160 --> 00:34:10,200
Speaker 4: guy or rather than a practice guy. Well, I think

753
00:34:10,200 --> 00:34:12,799
Speaker 4: most linebackers are probably better in the games than they

754
00:34:12,800 --> 00:34:14,480
Speaker 4: are at practice because you're not gonna go out there

755
00:34:14,520 --> 00:34:16,920
Speaker 4: just knocking people's heads off. I also think he's trying

756
00:34:16,960 --> 00:34:19,839
Speaker 4: to figure things out. He's playing a lot of different positions.

757
00:34:20,600 --> 00:34:23,200
Speaker 4: The light bulb maybe hasn't come on just yet for

758
00:34:24,400 --> 00:34:27,320
Speaker 4: de Marvin Overshown, but I do think that it will,

759
00:34:27,360 --> 00:34:28,960
Speaker 4: and I think dan Quinn's going to put a lot

760
00:34:28,960 --> 00:34:31,759
Speaker 4: on his plate. But also, yeah, the games is where

761
00:34:31,760 --> 00:34:33,440
Speaker 4: you're going to see a guy flash and really make

762
00:34:33,480 --> 00:34:36,160
Speaker 4: a play. We haven't really seen that from him yet.

763
00:34:36,280 --> 00:34:38,680
Speaker 4: All right, I talked about this earlier in the show

764
00:34:39,080 --> 00:34:43,000
Speaker 4: Cowboys See from Pitzaicola, Florida. Who's the starting five linemen

765
00:34:43,120 --> 00:34:45,759
Speaker 4: in the first preseason game? And who you are you

766
00:34:45,800 --> 00:34:48,680
Speaker 4: going to watch closely? That's a good question, Matt, because

767
00:34:48,719 --> 00:34:50,480
Speaker 4: I you know it. It's not going to be Tyron Smith.

768
00:34:50,719 --> 00:34:51,880
Speaker 4: You know it's not gonna.

769
00:34:51,640 --> 00:34:52,640
Speaker 1: Be Zach Martin.

770
00:34:54,360 --> 00:35:00,360
Speaker 4: And be honest, maybe I wouldn't think so though. Only

771
00:35:00,440 --> 00:35:04,560
Speaker 4: Tyler Smith I could see it because he hasn't played

772
00:35:04,600 --> 00:35:06,920
Speaker 4: a lot of left guard and get him some some

773
00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:08,560
Speaker 4: reps in the game would be good.

774
00:35:08,640 --> 00:35:08,799
Speaker 9: Now.

775
00:35:08,800 --> 00:35:10,760
Speaker 4: He did it in preseason last year, if you remember,

776
00:35:10,800 --> 00:35:13,279
Speaker 4: because Tyron didn't get hurt till we got back to

777
00:35:13,280 --> 00:35:16,920
Speaker 4: to Frisco. So he's done it in the games. I

778
00:35:16,920 --> 00:35:19,520
Speaker 4: can see him doing a little bit there. I'm gonna say, well,

779
00:35:19,600 --> 00:35:21,719
Speaker 4: let's go, We'll be in there at left tackle. I'm

780
00:35:21,760 --> 00:35:24,840
Speaker 4: just gonna say Tyler Smith for now, Farnioc at center,

781
00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:28,360
Speaker 4: Josh Ball right guard, Truma.

782
00:35:28,480 --> 00:35:29,720
Speaker 1: Edoga at right tackle.

783
00:35:29,840 --> 00:35:33,240
Speaker 4: That's what would be my starting five in the offensive

784
00:35:33,280 --> 00:35:36,200
Speaker 4: line if we had to do it right now, all right,

785
00:35:37,200 --> 00:35:42,440
Speaker 4: let's go to some other questions here. How about William Hauchins,

786
00:35:42,560 --> 00:35:46,360
Speaker 4: it's my man, William Hauchins. Uh, he's he had asked

787
00:35:46,400 --> 00:35:49,239
Speaker 4: Malik Hooker this question. We couldn't we couldn't get this

788
00:35:49,360 --> 00:35:52,480
Speaker 4: question to him. How's the scheme gonna allow you to

789
00:35:52,520 --> 00:35:54,520
Speaker 4: be the best play that we knew you would be?

790
00:35:55,320 --> 00:35:57,200
Speaker 4: To be the type of player? You know, we all

791
00:35:57,239 --> 00:36:00,560
Speaker 4: thought from you. And I think this type of if

792
00:36:00,600 --> 00:36:04,320
Speaker 4: you go back and look at dan Quinn in Seattle,

793
00:36:05,280 --> 00:36:13,920
Speaker 4: Legion of boom Right, the Earl, Thomas Chancellor, Richard Sherman,

794
00:36:14,120 --> 00:36:16,840
Speaker 4: these corners, I mean they they the secondary was great,

795
00:36:17,120 --> 00:36:19,440
Speaker 4: But to me, it was the pass rush. It was

796
00:36:19,600 --> 00:36:22,560
Speaker 4: it was a constant rotation of guys that could really

797
00:36:22,640 --> 00:36:25,840
Speaker 4: just go and fly, uh you know, fly around the

798
00:36:25,840 --> 00:36:27,799
Speaker 4: ball and get to the quarterback. And I think that's

799
00:36:27,840 --> 00:36:29,960
Speaker 4: what dan Quinn's trying to create here. Obviously you got

800
00:36:30,120 --> 00:36:33,359
Speaker 4: Michael Parsons, you got Tank, you got Dorn Armstrong, yet

801
00:36:33,400 --> 00:36:36,280
Speaker 4: Sam Williams, you got you got these rusher Dante Fowler.

802
00:36:36,640 --> 00:36:39,080
Speaker 4: And I think when they get that and they do

803
00:36:39,200 --> 00:36:43,160
Speaker 4: that the way that he did it in Seattle, that

804
00:36:43,239 --> 00:36:46,759
Speaker 4: will create a secondary like he had then, and that's

805
00:36:46,800 --> 00:36:49,719
Speaker 4: where guys could just play center field like you talk

806
00:36:49,760 --> 00:36:53,400
Speaker 4: about just go make the play Malie Cooker and Jayron Curson,

807
00:36:53,440 --> 00:36:55,400
Speaker 4: Dom and Wilson. Then of course your corners there and

808
00:36:55,520 --> 00:36:59,080
Speaker 4: gil Moore and Diggs and and Bland. To me, it

809
00:36:59,080 --> 00:37:01,800
Speaker 4: still starts with the pass rushians. That's why I think

810
00:37:02,200 --> 00:37:05,560
Speaker 4: that Malik Hookers has a chance to really to be great.

811
00:37:05,840 --> 00:37:09,759
Speaker 4: And that's why I think it's smart for him to sign, because, yeah,

812
00:37:09,800 --> 00:37:12,640
Speaker 4: the money is good, it's fair. And are you gonna

813
00:37:12,640 --> 00:37:14,799
Speaker 4: go to another team that has a pass rushing you know,

814
00:37:14,920 --> 00:37:16,920
Speaker 4: a pass rusher like this and a coordinator like this,

815
00:37:17,320 --> 00:37:20,160
Speaker 4: I don't know. So it seems like it's a smart

816
00:37:20,200 --> 00:37:23,040
Speaker 4: move for him and he was able, uh to do

817
00:37:23,080 --> 00:37:25,160
Speaker 4: it and knock it out. So that is the news

818
00:37:25,239 --> 00:37:30,080
Speaker 4: of the day is Malik Hooker is agreed to a

819
00:37:30,160 --> 00:37:34,160
Speaker 4: deal as we stand here on Friday afternoon from Mauxnard.

820
00:37:34,160 --> 00:37:36,200
Speaker 4: I'm not sure it's officially been signed. It may not

821
00:37:36,239 --> 00:37:38,560
Speaker 4: even be turned into the league, but it looks like

822
00:37:38,640 --> 00:37:40,920
Speaker 4: he has agreed to a three year extension. He'll be

823
00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:45,399
Speaker 4: with the Cowboys for the next four seasons now. And

824
00:37:46,360 --> 00:37:49,120
Speaker 4: what a great move for him and the entire secondary

825
00:37:49,320 --> 00:37:51,520
Speaker 4: when you think about what they did with Don and

826
00:37:51,560 --> 00:37:54,960
Speaker 4: Wilson in the offseason and going to get Gilmore and

827
00:37:55,000 --> 00:37:58,320
Speaker 4: then signing Trayvon Diggs. Since we've been out here, really

828
00:37:58,440 --> 00:38:03,000
Speaker 4: shoring up that secondary for the Cowboys. All right, well

829
00:38:03,080 --> 00:38:05,040
Speaker 4: that's all we have time for today. A lot of

830
00:38:05,040 --> 00:38:08,160
Speaker 4: great questions. Thank you guys for being versatile with us.

831
00:38:09,200 --> 00:38:13,560
Speaker 4: Chris Beam, the producer, he was the man. He's set

832
00:38:13,640 --> 00:38:17,440
Speaker 4: up this, this set up two times today, so I

833
00:38:17,480 --> 00:38:22,440
Speaker 4: may have to buy him a beverage or six. Just kidding,

834
00:38:22,480 --> 00:38:25,040
Speaker 4: he didn't drink that much. All right, let's get out

835
00:38:25,040 --> 00:38:26,200
Speaker 4: of here. It's Friday afternoon.
