Speaker 1: The following. He's a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com
Speaker 1: and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club. Are you ready for
Speaker 1: a break? Yes? Are you ready for a break? Absolutely?
Speaker 1: Ready for a break? Yeah, And so much for that.
Speaker 1: It's time for The Break on Dallas Cowboys dot Com
Speaker 1: ware with Nick Eatman, David Hellman, and bar Garcia and
Speaker 1: Derek Eagleton. It is Wednesday, August fifteenth, twenty eighteen, Season fourteen,
Speaker 1: episode number twenty seven. Welcome to our final edition of
Speaker 1: The Break live from Oxnard, California. We will be heading
Speaker 1: back to Dallas later this week, so this is going
Speaker 1: to be the final show that we do from Oxnard.
Speaker 1: We'll start back up with our regular schedule programming on
Speaker 1: Monday back from at the Star. So it's been a good,
Speaker 1: good three and a half weeks, and so it's nice
Speaker 1: to end this on a good note today. How's everybody
Speaker 1: feeling to day? Pretty good? Yeah, we're good. Great. I
Speaker 1: did an interview this morning, um and somebody said, man,
Speaker 1: it just feels like you guys just got out there.
Speaker 1: I'm like, no, it doesn't. It actually doesn't, not even
Speaker 1: a little thinking that, but now it really doesn't at all. No,
Speaker 1: Yesterday was a day off for the players, so they'll
Speaker 1: be back on the field today. They have a practice
Speaker 1: this afternoon. They have a practice tomorrow morning. I think
Speaker 1: it's a ten thirty am practice. So if you're here
Speaker 1: in the area, in the LA area, and you still
Speaker 1: have not had a chance to get to practice, this
Speaker 1: is your great opportunity to be able to get out here.
Speaker 1: There's only two more practices left. Try to do that
Speaker 1: this afternoon or tomorrow morning because on Friday morning we
Speaker 1: are out. If you want to see real, real football,
Speaker 1: you should probably come today though, Like if I had
Speaker 1: the guest, tomorrow morning is gonna be I Phil walk
Speaker 1: through it. It's gonna be light, real real football, real
Speaker 1: training camp, training camp, right, real practice. You know you
Speaker 1: said it was a player's day off yesterday, and if
Speaker 1: you follow any of these people on social media, you'll
Speaker 1: also realize there was a day off for the for
Speaker 1: the staff as well. Most beautiful photos. You still have
Speaker 1: a quite recovered. Yeah, it was. It was really a
Speaker 1: fun day. And I got to give a shout out
Speaker 1: to Stephen who was our host yesterday. Uh he is
Speaker 1: a fan, huge fan of this team, UM and just
Speaker 1: was so gracious to be able to give our crew
Speaker 1: a day away and kind of give us a really
Speaker 1: really great experience yesterday on the beach there in Venice.
Speaker 1: It was. It was phenomenal. So shout out to Stephen.
Speaker 1: Can see how the other side lives now and again
Speaker 1: right yeah, I don't know if I'll ever get to
Speaker 1: that stage, but no, it was really it was really
Speaker 1: nice for a day to pretend. Um, Okay, so we're
Speaker 1: gonna talk some Cowboys football and today we get to
Speaker 1: do what is probably one of my most favorite shows
Speaker 1: of the entire year. We're gonna take right now the
Speaker 1: ninety guys that they have out here on the field,
Speaker 1: and we're gonna pretend as though we are the GM
Speaker 1: the head coach, and we're gonna try to cut this
Speaker 1: thing down to fifty three. And uh, I'm sure Dave
Speaker 1: loves doing that as well. M It's fun because this
Speaker 1: is just kind of the fun of what we do. Right. So, Um,
Speaker 1: what we're gonna do is what I I The way
Speaker 1: I line this out is I have a list of
Speaker 1: all the guys, um, and what I'll do is I'll
Speaker 1: go through each position. I will tell you guys the
Speaker 1: names of the people I think are locks to be
Speaker 1: on this team. I want to hear if you guys agree,
Speaker 1: and if you do, then we'll go through the list
Speaker 1: of the other guys and tell me if there are
Speaker 1: any of those guys we should throw on to that list,
Speaker 1: and if not, then we'll hold those in the maybe category.
Speaker 1: We'll get our full number that we have that are locks,
Speaker 1: and then we'll back into the fifty three. That all
Speaker 1: makes sense, Ye, Just just a reminder to us that
Speaker 1: are sitting here is I'm sure there'll a bit walk
Speaker 1: through here in a little bit before you might be
Speaker 1: cutting yelling out somebody. He's definitely cut, Like, hey, how's
Speaker 1: it going? So yeah, this maybe it's last these maybe
Speaker 1: it's last couple of practices, So let's speed to care
Speaker 1: about that. Why No, I'm just saying it's like, that's fine.
Speaker 1: We cut them, We cut them. Yeah, I mean they
Speaker 1: knew what they signed up for. Still is sad they
Speaker 1: didn't know. And I'm not trying to belittle And I
Speaker 1: mean there's three thousand people chasing their dream in the
Speaker 1: NFL right now, and half of them aren't going to
Speaker 1: pull it off. And even crazier than that, ninety nine
Speaker 1: percent of them are fighting some type of adversity aside
Speaker 1: from trying to make the team too. So I'm not
Speaker 1: trying to disrespect that at all, but it's I mean,
Speaker 1: that's the gig. It's tough, tough league, all right. So
Speaker 1: here we go. We're gonna start with the cornerback position.
Speaker 1: Here are my locks ban Byron Jones, Cheetah Bay, Woozier,
Speaker 1: Jordan Lewis, Anthony Brown. You guys agree, definitely awesome. Here
Speaker 1: are the guys that I did not put on that list.
Speaker 1: And you tell me if there are any of those
Speaker 1: that you think need to be on the lock list.
Speaker 1: Marks White, Savarius Award, Duke Thomas, Donovan Alumba or cam
Speaker 1: Kelly Lock No lock, no, no greed, Dick. I agree
Speaker 1: that nobody's a lock. I think those guys have to
Speaker 1: play their way onto the roster. Duke Thomas was going
Speaker 1: to do that last year and then he got hurt.
Speaker 1: You can't get hurt. Those guys just can't get hurt.
Speaker 1: Right now. I think that that's a good battle. I
Speaker 1: would guess the player who performs the best, and in
Speaker 1: the three preseason games between Alumba and there various Ward
Speaker 1: would sneak onto that last spot in my opinion, would
Speaker 1: the Cowboys enter the season and Amber you can answer this,
Speaker 1: would you think the Cowboys would enter the season with
Speaker 1: just four cornerbacks? Do you think they need more? Well,
Speaker 1: I mean, based on what they've done at safety, I
Speaker 1: would say, oh, they're cool with just having less guys,
Speaker 1: you know, like entering with four. I wouldn't see that
Speaker 1: necessarily as a problem. Now, those two guys that Nick
Speaker 1: mentioned is tricky right now because certain guys, they'll have
Speaker 1: a shiny moment at camp and then you think, oh,
Speaker 1: this guy is looking great, but then the next day
Speaker 1: it's like, Okay, he doesn't look good, and then the
Speaker 1: other guy goes up. Which is the nature of a
Speaker 1: guy that's that far out of the Yeah yeah, yeah yeah.
Speaker 1: So I'm just saying that right now, out of that group,
Speaker 1: there's no one that's really standing out much than the other.
Speaker 1: So if we had to say a number, like what
Speaker 1: would be the number of cornerbacks you think you need
Speaker 1: to carry for this team? I think you need to
Speaker 1: carry five, But I don't know why you wouldn't carry six.
Speaker 1: Between injuries and the fact that as of right now,
Speaker 1: there's a there's a non zero chance that either Byron
Speaker 1: or Cheeto might have to play safety at some point
Speaker 1: this season. I think six is would be smart. It's
Speaker 1: really I mean, I hope safety's next on your list
Speaker 1: because it is a ten dB uh, it's usually around ten.
Speaker 1: It can be nine, um, but it's nine. If you've
Speaker 1: got those players that Dave's talking about that can do
Speaker 1: a little bit of both. So now your fifth guy
Speaker 1: is a you know, as a player and as Cam
Speaker 1: Kelly is he they've I think that the Cowboys have
Speaker 1: him listed as a safety. He's done a little bit
Speaker 1: of everything. He's moved back, he's gonna have to he's
Speaker 1: gonna to step it up. He's behind the other ones there,
Speaker 1: but he's a type of player that if he did
Speaker 1: stand out in these preseason games, you could see going,
Speaker 1: all right, he's your fifth corner and your fifth safety.
Speaker 1: I will say heading into camp, I gave Duke Thomas
Speaker 1: and Markus White the edge to be the fifth and
Speaker 1: sixth corner is because they had a year under their belt.
Speaker 1: I haven't seen anything from either of them that I
Speaker 1: just think they absolutely need to make this team. I
Speaker 1: give I give Duke a little bit more of a
Speaker 1: nod than Marquez. If I had to guess I think
Speaker 1: Duke Thomas and then one of these undrafted rookies probably Yeah,
Speaker 1: all right, so let's move to safety. There are three locks.
Speaker 1: In my opinion. You've got Xavier Woods, you got Jeff Heath,
Speaker 1: and you got Cavon Frasier. The other three are a
Speaker 1: little bit of an enigma because I don't know that
Speaker 1: any of them have stood up, stood stood out enough
Speaker 1: to our flag. They have to make this team, but
Speaker 1: you would think you want more than three safeties on
Speaker 1: this team as well. They are Jamil Showers, Mark Queston
Speaker 1: Huff and Tyree Robinson. I assume we all agree on
Speaker 1: the locks. Do you think you need an additional one?
Speaker 1: And if so, is there one there that you think
Speaker 1: maybe should be the guy that that's the fourth. We're
Speaker 1: not that far removed from a year where they kept
Speaker 1: five safeties, so it's hard for me to imagine them
Speaker 1: going with three. That said, I don't feel great about
Speaker 1: any of those options. Maybe my question Huff, but he's hurt.
Speaker 1: It looks like he's going to be out for at
Speaker 1: least a little bit of time, and I don't know.
Speaker 1: I know people have thrown around the idea of three safeties.
Speaker 1: I don't like that idea either, But I wonder, and
Speaker 1: I'm not talking about Earl Thomas, but I wonder if
Speaker 1: if there's a safety that's going to make this team
Speaker 1: that's not here, right And I definitely think that they
Speaker 1: will get another safety in here, whether it's a trade
Speaker 1: or not. They have to. They really have to get
Speaker 1: some more experience here at that position. I mean, because
Speaker 1: Jeff Heath is not I mean, he's played in the
Speaker 1: league four or five years, but doesn't have a ton
Speaker 1: of stars. Davier Woods doesn't really have hardly any. Kavon
Speaker 1: Frasier has been more of a special teams guy. I
Speaker 1: think it's very important to brand it. I just don't
Speaker 1: understand how, I mean from their standpoint, and we don't
Speaker 1: really know what they're thinking, what they're doing behind doors.
Speaker 1: But I don't know how you would feel comfortable going
Speaker 1: into this season with the guys that you have right now,
Speaker 1: and not only as far as experienced, but body wise.
Speaker 1: What do you mean by that? Body wise? Okay, yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: got you. So I guess the other part to consider that, Dave,
Speaker 1: you already kind of mentioned this is those guys that
Speaker 1: can play both safety and corner, right, So if you
Speaker 1: look at it from that standpoint, maybe they could go
Speaker 1: long at cornerback, knowing that they're only going to have
Speaker 1: three quoted safeties, knowing that Byron Jones could flip over,
Speaker 1: knowing that your best two cornerbacks at camp Byron Jones
Speaker 1: and Cheetahbill Woozy. Okay, I get you, but that's I
Speaker 1: understand what you're saying. But I do believe though that
Speaker 1: this team, if you look at this the history of
Speaker 1: this coaching staff, I do think that that that's not
Speaker 1: always the criteria. I think that if they feel like
Speaker 1: they need the body in a different place, I think
Speaker 1: they'll put the body in a different place. Yes, Byron
Speaker 1: would be the only option there to me, because he's
Speaker 1: done it in games. I don't think you should move
Speaker 1: Cheeto over there if he hasn't practiced at all. So
Speaker 1: I hope that they're not really thinking that way. Punch
Speaker 1: me in the face if that's their primary game plan,
Speaker 1: just like, let's move these guys out of in a
Speaker 1: really important position and haven't played. But it would only
Speaker 1: it would own being an instance where you had just
Speaker 1: a major catastrophe in a game, because that's the thing, Like,
Speaker 1: that's the point, they could probably go and get some
Speaker 1: of these guys off the you know, off the free
Speaker 1: agent while if they have a guy go down, you
Speaker 1: have to finish a game. Though, if you had to
Speaker 1: slide a guy back there to finish a game, and
Speaker 1: that's what you do. If you're only carrying three safeties,
Speaker 1: you're setting yourself up for a catastrophe, like you're just
Speaker 1: I mean, case in point, cavan Frasier is he's battling
Speaker 1: anything right now, he's not completely healthy. That leaves you
Speaker 1: you basically have two safeties that you feel comfortable putting
Speaker 1: on the field right now. I mean, I think Cavon
Speaker 1: is gonna be fine, but it's it's troubling. I just
Speaker 1: I every year they send a seventh round pick to
Speaker 1: somebody in exchange for a player and defensive tackle and
Speaker 1: safety or two spots that make a lot of sense.
Speaker 1: Though you did mention, and you've been mentioning this since
Speaker 1: the draft, really since free agency opened. I know that
Speaker 1: Earl Thomas's name keeps be getting bantered around, But there
Speaker 1: were other safeties you said that were out there. Throw
Speaker 1: me some other names and maybe some guys are they
Speaker 1: all gone at this point, there's one guy that's not
Speaker 1: and he's not getting signed here. Yeah. Um, Kenny Vaccaro
Speaker 1: and Trey Boston both have jobs now that that ship sailed,
Speaker 1: So you got so really when it comes to those
Speaker 1: veteran guys, there aren't a lot of options there either. Yeah.
Speaker 1: And I think that you're you're talking about what they
Speaker 1: did last year with the cornerback of ben A Ben Wickery,
Speaker 1: it's gonna be that type of guy right at the
Speaker 1: end of camp. They did it. Um. I mean they
Speaker 1: did it with the safety and fourteen C. J. Spiller. Um,
Speaker 1: So that's that type of player. Yeah, real quick, And
Speaker 1: this is going to divert us a little bit. But
Speaker 1: I thought it's worth bringing up because I have gotten
Speaker 1: a few tweets about it yesterday. No, No, I have
Speaker 1: to bring it up, though I know I'm just answering. No. Yesterday,
Speaker 1: Orlando Scandrid gets cut from Washington Redskins, and I got
Speaker 1: a few tweets like, is there any chance the Cowboys
Speaker 1: bringing back? What do you guys think should they? I
Speaker 1: guess is an even better question. Why? Why? No? I'm
Speaker 1: I'm good, I think I feel which I'm good and
Speaker 1: we're good Orlando, Orlando Scandrid probably has some gas left
Speaker 1: in the tank, like you can do some somewhere. But
Speaker 1: you you flipped this thing over you you you made
Speaker 1: that bed. Why go back to it like he's He's
Speaker 1: not gonna noticeably bolster this thing. Nothing's happened out here
Speaker 1: where you're like, we you know, we need him. You know,
Speaker 1: I don't think the Cowboys would look at it and go,
Speaker 1: what man, you know, Anthony Brown or or um Jordan
Speaker 1: Lewis hasn't done what we I think that they've been.
Speaker 1: So you guys feel good. You feel good. You feel
Speaker 1: better about Anthony Brown in the slot than you would
Speaker 1: maybe bringing in Orlando and just playing him in the slot.
Speaker 1: Dez Bryant would fit in just as well as Scandrick.
Speaker 1: I mean, this isn't just about playing on the field.
Speaker 1: This is about where they think that that the development
Speaker 1: of younger players. And I don't think that they they
Speaker 1: saw that and Washington's only had him for a few months,
Speaker 1: and they looked at it like, we've got young guys
Speaker 1: we'd rather play. If he was, if he was the
Speaker 1: best slot corner in the league, bring it on. But
Speaker 1: and I'm not saying he's terrible, but I don't think
Speaker 1: the difference is so noticeable that you bother with that
Speaker 1: you hinder your young players development. He's an older player,
Speaker 1: just I don't see why you need. Washington has an
Speaker 1: all pro type cornerback and some younger players there. There
Speaker 1: will be some teams out there, I think we'll see,
Speaker 1: but I think there'll be a team that has some
Speaker 1: younger guys and maybe needs more of a veteran. If
Speaker 1: that's the case, then then you know he'll probably go somewhere,
Speaker 1: And I think Washington did it for that reason to
Speaker 1: keep him out there so he can. I heard he
Speaker 1: was visiting the Chiefs today, So yeah, I mean, like people,
Speaker 1: somebody's gonna want to sign him. I'm not He's not
Speaker 1: a bad player, but I just don't set the point here.
Speaker 1: Didn't they trade? Yes, the Redskins needed a guy because
Speaker 1: they traded their cornerback to the Chiefs, And now the
Speaker 1: Chiefs want to bring him into But his salary keeps
Speaker 1: going down. He's getting close to the probably the leak minimum. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I think, honestly, I think whether his role is gonna
Speaker 1: end up being is he's going to be that guy
Speaker 1: that is a slot only guy. He's not going to
Speaker 1: play on the outside. He's not going to play a
Speaker 1: full slate of of downs. He will be you know,
Speaker 1: he will be the guy that comes in for slot
Speaker 1: duty and that's where he's gonna have to focus and be. Honestly,
Speaker 1: I think that's probably where he's best at this point
Speaker 1: in his career, where he doesn't have to play every down.
Speaker 1: I would much rather just ride with this group. They're
Speaker 1: like they all came in at similar times. They're growing
Speaker 1: up together. Scandrick is in a way different point of
Speaker 1: his career that it kind of it hinders not that
Speaker 1: narrative is a bad word, but like, this is a
Speaker 1: young team trying to prove itself and then you bring,
Speaker 1: you know, thirty one thirty two year old veteran who
Speaker 1: has been through the league Ringer and just yeah, you're good.
Speaker 1: I think at the end of the camp, and I
Speaker 1: guess this kind of goes back to the corner, but
Speaker 1: I think char Various Award is going to make the team.
Speaker 1: I don't think he's a guy that they will want
Speaker 1: to cut. Yeah, and Alumba is going to be right
Speaker 1: there with him because of just the body type that
Speaker 1: they have. And we knew that going in. I mean
Speaker 1: credit Brian for saying, hey, this is what Chris Rochard likes.
Speaker 1: These two guys fit the mold. If they come out
Speaker 1: here and perform at a high level or a pretty
Speaker 1: good level for being you know, undrafted rookies, then they'll
Speaker 1: take a chance on him. I mean, and I like
Speaker 1: what I've seen an award. He competes your sixth cornerback.
Speaker 1: Doesn't need to dress for a game, yea or so.
Speaker 1: But I mean, if this is his starting point out
Speaker 1: here and being right there with Tavon Austin and Tavon
Speaker 1: just making a great play over him, I like, I
Speaker 1: like the starting point for Ward. I just I if
Speaker 1: I had to pick, I think Ward makes this team too.
Speaker 1: And I just I feel very confident that one of
Speaker 1: these tall, long corners that fits Chard's archetype is going
Speaker 1: to make this team for him to mold and work
Speaker 1: with during the course of the year, even if he's
Speaker 1: not playing a lot. I talked to him at one
Speaker 1: point after one of his good practices, Trevarius Ward, and
Speaker 1: I said, you know, players have Warren number forty as
Speaker 1: an undrafted player and made the team before. You know,
Speaker 1: Bill Bates, he's never heard of him. Um, no, Bill Bates,
Speaker 1: Danny McCrae. Okay, he's like, wow, you know, if I
Speaker 1: make the team, I'm moving I'm moving numbers. Anyways, I'm like, okay,
Speaker 1: I'll just still. I don't think, let's make the team.
Speaker 1: I hope you're not saying that to everybody, you know,
Speaker 1: I hope you're not going up to the equipment guys.
Speaker 1: In't saying it. But but right now, that's his focus though,
Speaker 1: and that's not a bad thing. It focus is I'm
Speaker 1: gonna make the team. And yeah, so all right, let's
Speaker 1: take our first break when we come back. I mean
Speaker 1: maybe I don't know. I don't know if it's everyone. So,
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, that's the goal. But but I don't
Speaker 1: know if that's necessarily I don't know how realistic it
Speaker 1: is for other players or not. I mean, some people
Speaker 1: are thinking two or three steps down the road, he's
Speaker 1: making the team, and he's you know, he's changing numbers. Yeah,
Speaker 1: all right, let's take our first break when we come back.
Speaker 1: We're going to continue to go down this list. We'll
Speaker 1: get to linebackers, defensive end, defensive ends, and defensive tackles.

Speaker 1: Welcome back. It is the second segment of The Break
Speaker 1: live from Oxnard, California. Again our final show here from Oxnard.
Speaker 1: We'll be back in Dallas next week. At the start,
Speaker 1: we're going through and making cuts for the final fifty
Speaker 1: three man roster. We will be submitting these two the
Speaker 1: coaching staff and the GM later today so that they
Speaker 1: can evaluate our evaluations and factor those things in. So cool.
Speaker 1: Make sure you guys and say hey, will we're hey,
Speaker 1: you got an interview later with Jerry, right, so just
Speaker 1: hand it to Jerry. Here you go, mister Jones. We're
Speaker 1: not gonna get it all the way right, but we're
Speaker 1: gonna be really close. I mean yeah. So anyway, all right,
Speaker 1: so here we go. Let's go to the linebacker position.
Speaker 1: We've got Sean Lee, Joe Thomas, Jalen Smith, Layton Vanderish.
Speaker 1: I threw Damian Wilson in there as well as locks.
Speaker 1: You guys agree with those five? Yes? All right? So
Speaker 1: what you got left is justin marsh Lillard Chris Covington.
Speaker 1: Do you need more than five? And if so, should
Speaker 1: either one of those be on the locklist. That is
Speaker 1: something I've seen going around Twitter, like people are suggesting
Speaker 1: five linebackers, and I just think that's insane, like six
Speaker 1: as six as a must, and honestly, I wouldn't be
Speaker 1: surprised if it's seven. That's me. I don't know that
Speaker 1: I consider either of them a lock but I think
Speaker 1: Justin marsh Lillard will make this team. Chris Covington's got
Speaker 1: some work to do, no through no fault of his own,
Speaker 1: just because he's been sick. I haven't seen that much
Speaker 1: of him. Yeah, I actually disagree. I don't think March
Speaker 1: Lillard WILLI make the team, and I know that he's
Speaker 1: a rookie, but I think when you're from a body
Speaker 1: type standpoint, I'm counting both Scarborough in as a linebacker
Speaker 1: from the standpoint of do you need that type of
Speaker 1: player to run the special teams and to be on
Speaker 1: this spot in the special teams part, And so most
Speaker 1: times you can't just say your third running back goes
Speaker 1: right here on the edge as a punt protector. I
Speaker 1: think he factors in for that reason. When you're talking
Speaker 1: about six and seven linebackers, it's special teams. So I
Speaker 1: think you can go a little lighter there. I we'll
Speaker 1: see if Covington can get into the mix. And I'm
Speaker 1: not one hundred percent sure. Damien Wilson, if you're talking
Speaker 1: about it into the camp trade something, what do you got?
Speaker 1: We got a little depth here. He's you know, he's
Speaker 1: a guy going into his last year of his deal.
Speaker 1: I think that's fair. But when you know, again, like
Speaker 1: that type of stuff typically typically doesn't happen until Sunday,
Speaker 1: like when they put out the fifty three on Saturday.
Speaker 1: I think, group the ones we have, I mean, he
Speaker 1: would be the most proven one out of everyone else
Speaker 1: that's left. Wilson, Yeah, yeah, yeah, after you talk about
Speaker 1: Shawn Lee and Jalen Okay, talent wise, he would be
Speaker 1: the next one. None of those other linebackers have done
Speaker 1: anything right who pinkins hero No? No, And I don't
Speaker 1: think most of those guys have an opportunity to make
Speaker 1: this team because there's so much there's so much ahead
Speaker 1: of them. I don't think they have much a shot.
Speaker 1: The best shot I think is to make the practice squad. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I remember having conversations in OTAs with people where I
Speaker 1: was like, you can you can put this linebacker chor
Speaker 1: together today, assuming everybody's healthy, and Covington and marsh Lillard
Speaker 1: were definitely included in that. I think I think Nick's
Speaker 1: got a really good point that, you know, the abilities
Speaker 1: of some other players on this roster enable you to
Speaker 1: go light, but with the injury history you've had a
Speaker 1: linebacker in recent years, I don't know why you would
Speaker 1: do that if you've got talented guys here, Like I
Speaker 1: think six is a damn near guarantee, and I wouldn't
Speaker 1: be surprised by seven. I'll watch Marsha Lillard more too,
Speaker 1: and I mean maybe I need to kind of. I
Speaker 1: think he's been on him. I think he's been great,
Speaker 1: and that's also the reason why I think, well, not
Speaker 1: that reason, but I also think Damon Damien Wilson makes
Speaker 1: his team because of the fact that this has been
Speaker 1: a position that they've had some injury concerns, and I
Speaker 1: think with his experience, I don't know that you're going
Speaker 1: to go out and replace that in free age. He's
Speaker 1: also you know, right, we gave you at least we
Speaker 1: gave Kyle Wilver so much credit for his specialty and
Speaker 1: his ability, you know, and considering he didn't contribute that
Speaker 1: much to defense. I think Damian Wilson is kind of
Speaker 1: adapting that role as well. Like, I mean, he's going
Speaker 1: to be an active, special teams experienced guy. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: if you did trade him to another team, you'd hold
Speaker 1: your breath because you know one thing you'd need at
Speaker 1: this position is depth and because of some injury history,
Speaker 1: minute you do that. That's yeah, that's exactly right. That's
Speaker 1: why you know people ask out, they're like, well, who
Speaker 1: would you trade, you know, if we can get like,
Speaker 1: definitely don't want to trade a linebacker. I want to
Speaker 1: That's I want as many good bodies as I can have, right,
Speaker 1: So yeah, all right, let's move on to defensive end.
Speaker 1: You got de Marcus Lawrence, Tyrone Crawford, Uh, Taco Charlton,
Speaker 1: Randy Gregory. I put on the lists a lot um
Speaker 1: and then Dorance Armstrong. I think he's been really good
Speaker 1: out here as a rookie. Um. That gives you five
Speaker 1: guys that are locked up. Do you go five or
Speaker 1: do you go for at the defensive end position? I
Speaker 1: think you you go with five. You go with as
Speaker 1: many as pressures as you have that can rush that
Speaker 1: are good. I mean, if you had six great ones,
Speaker 1: you'd go with six. I mean you need them, and
Speaker 1: those five are making the team for sure. Tapper's on
Speaker 1: the who well, who did you read as the Locks, Tank, Taco,
Speaker 1: Randy Tyrone, Tyrone. And then you've got guys that are
Speaker 1: kind of sitting right over here that you think about,
Speaker 1: like Cony Elie and Charles Tapper that that you know,
Speaker 1: you feel like maybe there's something there. So this is
Speaker 1: gonna be a tough position to cut, I think to
Speaker 1: some degree when you look at other positions, how we
Speaker 1: talk about as far as guys that you need, I
Speaker 1: mean this one, you don't have any one that you say, man,
Speaker 1: I must kip this one for sure. You know. So
Speaker 1: again body wise, the amount of bodies that you carry
Speaker 1: at that position versus other positions, I think this is
Speaker 1: one where you could cut one down. Yeah. But I
Speaker 1: think the flip side to that is true as well.
Speaker 1: There aren't guys you're like, oh, he's automatic cut right.
Speaker 1: So it's like when you start getting to guys like
Speaker 1: Cony Eily and Charles Tapper, they may really say, hey,
Speaker 1: we really want to see what Elie can do. Because
Speaker 1: think about it, this is guy has a lot of talent.
Speaker 1: He was a high draft pick. They may think, we
Speaker 1: really think we want to get him into the regular
Speaker 1: season because you think he'll provide something for This is
Speaker 1: going back to the secondary conversation. This is a spot
Speaker 1: where you could take six ends, and because several of
Speaker 1: them can play tackle. Yeah, Tyrone Crawford looks like he's
Speaker 1: going to spend some time at tackle in some degree,
Speaker 1: and I wouldn't be. And I know Cony Eely can
Speaker 1: and Taco Charlton can too, even though we haven't seen it.
Speaker 1: So you can talk to me into taking six. But
Speaker 1: at five sounds about right. Yeah, so let's think about that.
Speaker 1: We've got the defensive tackle position here with the locks there,
Speaker 1: jahad Ward, Antoine Woods, Brian Price, MALIEK Collins. Damn wow, Woods.
Speaker 1: I don't you guys not think I mean he's been
Speaker 1: running with the first team. I don't think a guy
Speaker 1: that's running with the first team. It's a wow. Congratulations
Speaker 1: to him to be at that level. I don't know
Speaker 1: if necessarily they're all locks. I think Malik is the
Speaker 1: only name you read that I would call a lot. Yeah, really, yes,
Speaker 1: a lot? Any of those Wait did you even say
Speaker 1: datone Jones? He's a lot? You're right, dat Jones is
Speaker 1: a lock. Yeah, Dayton Jones and MALIEK. Collins I consider locks.
Speaker 1: I leaned toward thinking Jihad Lord is a lock, but
Speaker 1: not necessarily since Antoine Woods is running with the Ones
Speaker 1: a lot I'm playing. I'm keeping Woods. I am just
Speaker 1: from a standpoint of he a body tap. You don't
Speaker 1: have that type of player. Has he not been your
Speaker 1: best defensive tackle? Lot here too. He's the only player
Speaker 1: in three or four years that I've seen give Travis
Speaker 1: Frederick this much problem. I agree with what you're saying.
Speaker 1: But Lewis Neil ran with the Ones in training camp
Speaker 1: last year too, Like they do stuff like that, you're
Speaker 1: short on bodies, you're not impressed by the veteran that
Speaker 1: you brought in to start in place of David Irving, etc. Etc.
Speaker 1: I think he's got a really good shot to make
Speaker 1: the team. I hesitate to call him a lot man.
Speaker 1: Tony Elie is on the outside looking in because my
Speaker 1: thought was that you would read off the tackles and
Speaker 1: I will just say you can put that spot. But
Speaker 1: from a tackle standpoint, I like Price better, I like
Speaker 1: Woods better, I like uh deck On Jones better, and
Speaker 1: I definitely like Mileague better, and let's not forget in
Speaker 1: four games we think we think David Irving is going
Speaker 1: to come back in league. I mean, David hold on,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry to cut you off there, David Irving is
Speaker 1: you know, we can say how we want about I
Speaker 1: don't know if he's coming. David Irving needs that a
Speaker 1: crude season so he can be a free agent next year.
Speaker 1: He needs to come back. He's gonna do everything he can.
Speaker 1: He wanted to come back. I think to camp a
Speaker 1: week ago. He really needs to be back. So it
Speaker 1: makes sense. Now will he be good? Will he be
Speaker 1: in shape? Who knows about what? You can defer that
Speaker 1: decision like you don't have to worry about that decision
Speaker 1: right now. That will be something that plays itself out.
Speaker 1: And I guarantee you. I want to guarantee you. But
Speaker 1: there's a good chance that by the time you get
Speaker 1: to that decision there will be some interest. And how
Speaker 1: it makes people always want to sweat, like who you're
Speaker 1: gonna cut to get Irving on the roster. It always
Speaker 1: always works out. I was gonna bring up my league Collins,
Speaker 1: who is coming back from an injury, but this kind
Speaker 1: of injury is a reoccurring injury, so you never know
Speaker 1: when it might happen again, because it's not oh it
Speaker 1: just happened once. It has been multiple times. I've been yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm I like your five ends. And then assuming they don't,
Speaker 1: you know, again, it's hard to predict trades and stuff.
Speaker 1: But Malik Dayton, Jones, Jihad Ward, oh Man, right Price
Speaker 1: in Woods, Yeah, I know, and then you go with
Speaker 1: that five and five like those two. Ten is is
Speaker 1: heavy like and they I know, whenever we do these
Speaker 1: types of things, people project as many as ten and eleven.
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure in the Rod Marinelli era they've only
Speaker 1: gone as high as ten once or twice. Like it's
Speaker 1: usually nine and one time it was even eight. No,
Speaker 1: you're good. I don't think Daytone, Jones and Brian Price
Speaker 1: makes the team. I think you got the I think
Speaker 1: you got that Angie had Ward. Of those three, I
Speaker 1: don't think they all make it. I think two of
Speaker 1: those three, I think two of those three. You're talking
Speaker 1: about the same type of money, same type of year,
Speaker 1: same type of tape that they've already shown. I want
Speaker 1: to see. We just wanted to. Really, Really, the only
Speaker 1: lock you guys got really is Mollie Collins. What he's
Speaker 1: the only guy. He's the only guy sitting here on
Speaker 1: August fourteenth? Is it the fourteenth fifteenth that you can
Speaker 1: be like, yeah, he's gonna make the team. All right,
Speaker 1: So here's what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna put all
Speaker 1: I'm gonna defer all those others. We'll put Mollie Collins
Speaker 1: in the lock category, and then we'll come back and
Speaker 1: we'll have to fill in for the rest of those spots. Okay,
Speaker 1: all right, So let's move on to the offense, which
Speaker 1: we gotta move pretty quickly here. All right, So we
Speaker 1: got we got quarterback. Actually Dak we know Dak Prescott,
Speaker 1: Cooper Rush are in Mike White. Is the decision do
Speaker 1: you go with three here or do you let him
Speaker 1: hopefully see if you can maybe get him to the
Speaker 1: practice squad? Here's we always say this, and it's true
Speaker 1: across the board. Quarterbacks just different. It's a different position.
Speaker 1: Mike White was a He was a quarterback with a
Speaker 1: draftable grade. Brian brought Us had a third round grade
Speaker 1: on the guy, and the Cowboys got him in the fifth.
Speaker 1: There's no telling what every other team in the league
Speaker 1: thought about him. If you cut him. There's just a
Speaker 1: better probability that he gets picked up by somebody than
Speaker 1: any other position because you see him and you say,
Speaker 1: quarterbacks are lottery tickets. Let's put a claim in on
Speaker 1: this guy and see if we can do anything with him.
Speaker 1: I think, Um, I don't think that Cooper Rush isn't
Speaker 1: necessarily a lot right now. I mean you can say, well, well,
Speaker 1: just think of it like this. We have three preseason
Speaker 1: games to play, and he's gonna play in all of them.
Speaker 1: If he throws an interception in every one of those games,
Speaker 1: we're gonna totally have a different opinion about him. Well,
Speaker 1: we could do that with a lot of people, right, Okay,
Speaker 1: so that throws a pick in every game. You consider
Speaker 1: the source, though, Consider the source, and I'm not you them,
Speaker 1: which is that I know it worked itself out over time,
Speaker 1: but kell him had a bad preseason last year, and
Speaker 1: they valued his experience and what they thought about him
Speaker 1: and all that type of crap, and he was still
Speaker 1: QB two when the roster was released. It took until
Speaker 1: almost November for that to change. It's not like, you know,
Speaker 1: it's not like Cooper Rush was bumped up overnight. They
Speaker 1: didn't cut Kellen until they went to Washington in October.
Speaker 1: I think he's a lot and they're not going to
Speaker 1: bring a veteran guy to be the backup. I think
Speaker 1: I agree with Cooper Rush. Is this team's backup quarterback
Speaker 1: unless his leg falls off in the preseason. But I
Speaker 1: think and that really and that may even be questionable,
Speaker 1: Like if he did it only has one leg. As
Speaker 1: long as he has my arm, I think he might say,
Speaker 1: I'm not here to tell you like Mike White hasn't
Speaker 1: blown me away by any stretch of the imagination. But
Speaker 1: it's it sounds so shortsighted. Again, fifth round picks not
Speaker 1: a big deal if it's any other position, but it's
Speaker 1: a quarterback. And again, we talked about this before we
Speaker 1: went on the air. Jerry Jones spent the whole offseason saying,
Speaker 1: we're done with that veteran stuff. We want to develop
Speaker 1: a young guy. And I'm not talking about Cooper Rush.
Speaker 1: He was talking about adding another quarterback. We want to
Speaker 1: develop somebody. How can you say that you honestly got
Speaker 1: a chance to develop Mike White over the course of
Speaker 1: one preseason. But my retort to that is, I think
Speaker 1: they are developing someone in Cooper Rush. Like Cooper Rush
Speaker 1: is a young quarterback that they're having to develop. Do
Speaker 1: you want to have two guys that you're having to develop?
Speaker 1: He wasn't talking about Cooper Rush when he was saying
Speaker 1: I get that, but my point, my point still remains
Speaker 1: that if their goal is to try to develop a
Speaker 1: guy for the future, then to me, they were already
Speaker 1: doing that with Cooper Rush. They're developing a guy for
Speaker 1: the future. If you want to do that, If you
Speaker 1: want to see Mike White at all, that you don't
Speaker 1: play Dak in this game at all. You don't need
Speaker 1: to see Dak in this game. You think you got
Speaker 1: this great offensive still got to get him ready for
Speaker 1: the season, though, well, then play him in the Cardinals game.
Speaker 1: Get If you want to see what Mike White can do,
Speaker 1: then play him in this game. That's what That's what
Speaker 1: Parcels did with Tony twelve years ago or eleven years ago.
Speaker 1: He played the whole game, but so couldn't believe it.
Speaker 1: He's and he should the fourth game. I think the
Speaker 1: fourth game, you're probably gonna see Mike White play the
Speaker 1: entire know I want to see him, not I don't
Speaker 1: want to see at least the screen Kadeem Edwards and
Speaker 1: those those lines. I want to see him being able
Speaker 1: to you know, his mental clocks should not be a one.
Speaker 1: It should be like one, two, three ball, not like
Speaker 1: hike ball. I mean, you can't do that. Fourth preseason
Speaker 1: games should be the Dalton Sturm showcase in my opinion,
Speaker 1: which I just and I'm I'm not. I can't say
Speaker 1: I'm one hundred percent right about this, but I don't
Speaker 1: understand why you drafted Mike White if you aren't committed
Speaker 1: to keeping on the team for at least one season. Um,
Speaker 1: So I think it's it's gonna be three quarterbacks. Let's
Speaker 1: move on, Let's go to running back Zeke Elliott rod
Speaker 1: Smith definitely in Jamaez Ali Wali will put throw him
Speaker 1: in as well. He's definitely gonna make the team as
Speaker 1: the fullback. Both Scarborough I put on the list as
Speaker 1: a lock. I don't know what you guys feel about it,
Speaker 1: but I have a hard time thinking they go with
Speaker 1: only two running backs. And I think he's the best
Speaker 1: of the of the guys that are left. What do
Speaker 1: you guys think? I think you can sew that thing up,
Speaker 1: and I don't cut that guy. Yeah, you know, he's
Speaker 1: got enough potential to do some things. Remember he didn't.
Speaker 1: I don't think he was drafted as high because the
Speaker 1: stats weren't a lot, weren't great, because he's playing it
Speaker 1: out Alma and in some injuries and stuff in Alabama.
Speaker 1: It's got Oh, the next guy we saw in the
Speaker 1: National Championship. You go to the backup quarterback in there,
Speaker 1: they're even better. So they don't wait for long on
Speaker 1: those in that position. But you look at him, there's
Speaker 1: a spot in the NFL for a guy that looks
Speaker 1: like that and can play like that. I think he
Speaker 1: keeps him. Darius Jackson is my guy, so I don't
Speaker 1: want to just write him off. And I have him
Speaker 1: on the list of the guys that are next and
Speaker 1: have an opportunity, and I think we should talk about
Speaker 1: him when we get back to Okay, let's fill in now,
Speaker 1: we've got X number of spots left. I think he's
Speaker 1: a guy that should be considered right there. All right, Well,
Speaker 1: if you want to come back to it, that's fine,
Speaker 1: all right, good, So let's move on to wide receiver.
Speaker 1: Alan Hearns, Cole Beasley, Michael Gallup, Tavon Austin, Terrence Williams.
Speaker 1: I think our locks. You guys agree, yes, yeah, one
Speaker 1: more time. I'm sorry. Beasley, Gallup, Beasley, Gallerparns, yes all Austin, Yeah, okay, yeah,
Speaker 1: so five. And we looked at this before the show
Speaker 1: on Terrence on you know, is he is? He a lock?
Speaker 1: And we just just did the looked at the numbers
Speaker 1: it cost him. I think it was four million, four
Speaker 1: point two million to have him on the team right
Speaker 1: now on your salary cap, it would count another two
Speaker 1: and a half million to put to not have him
Speaker 1: on the team, you have to pay two point five
Speaker 1: million on your cap to trade him, cut him whatever.
Speaker 1: That makes absolutely no sense, which I would be. I
Speaker 1: agree with you completely. I'll play devil's advocate. If he
Speaker 1: was just asked if he was a bad person, Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's it. Not one. It would be a situation where
Speaker 1: I don't want him to be on my my locker room.
Speaker 1: The money is not stopping you from doing that if
Speaker 1: everything else is working against it. But he's had a
Speaker 1: good camp. He's are the most experienced receiver here, certainly
Speaker 1: in this offense. Uh, he's a good blocker. He you know,
Speaker 1: fans don't want to hear this I don't care that
Speaker 1: they value him, and honestly they probably should. Yeah, uh so,
Speaker 1: I just now next year. Next year's a different story.
Speaker 1: It would make some sense to to part ways if
Speaker 1: he hasn't improved greatly. There. All right, let's let's go
Speaker 1: ahead and move on to five receivers. Yes, I'm sorry, Yes,
Speaker 1: we do have some other guys that on the list
Speaker 1: or Noah, but you've seen more out of lance right now.
Speaker 1: Don't forget Deante Thompson. Yeah, yeah, a few guys you
Speaker 1: have to And I was actually gonna come back to
Speaker 1: us because that's when you have feeling those I think
Speaker 1: this is gonna be a position where you really have
Speaker 1: to talk about when you start feeling in guys. You
Speaker 1: have Lenor, you have Brown, you have Thompson, and Katie
Speaker 1: Cannon's been getting some looks out here. I don't think
Speaker 1: he makes the team, but it's worth a conversation. Right
Speaker 1: circle back, Um, let's talk about tight end Jeff Swam,
Speaker 1: Blake Jarwin, Dalton Schultz. I think we're all in, uh,
Speaker 1: and then you have to have that discussion about Rico
Speaker 1: gaspeak up. Don't want to speak about this. I think
Speaker 1: Jeff Swaim's a lock, and I think Jarwin uh is
Speaker 1: a lock as well. Um Dalton Schultz probably will will
Speaker 1: make the team. But right now, like you know, if
Speaker 1: you just took every if you just took everything away
Speaker 1: with like where they were drafted, he wouldn't. I think
Speaker 1: he would be probably last in the tight end. And
Speaker 1: he's right there with David Wells. I think Rico has
Speaker 1: done more things than than Schultz. But uh, that's it's
Speaker 1: the politics, it's part of it. You've invested in these
Speaker 1: guys and they don't. No one likes to look bad
Speaker 1: and look wrong. And if you just cut a fourth
Speaker 1: round pick, that just show you're just admitting that you
Speaker 1: didn't do a good job with the draft in that
Speaker 1: particular pick. That's I mean, for that reason, Tapper in
Speaker 1: his third year might get a benefit of the doubt
Speaker 1: for the same thing. So I doubt they'll cut Schultz.
Speaker 1: But he has not done anything out here to say
Speaker 1: he deserves a spot other than what happened in late
Speaker 1: April in the draft. My thing, I don't necessarily think
Speaker 1: you're wrong. I don't think Schultz has been bad. He
Speaker 1: just doesn't look like he's ready really from a physical standpoint,
Speaker 1: like he a lot like Taco last year, Like he
Speaker 1: just needs to be in a weight program for a year,
Speaker 1: and I think he'll be like he looks like he
Speaker 1: knows what he's doing, he's just not executing it, which
Speaker 1: I feel like that's a regular rookie problem. But then again,
Speaker 1: to your point, politics sounds so icky, But I mean,
Speaker 1: this team hasn't cut a fourth round pick in my
Speaker 1: time here, and they certainly haven't done it during Will
Speaker 1: mcclay's tenure. I doubt they're going to start doing it now.
Speaker 1: Think the last guy was an LSU player who I
Speaker 1: think it was Skyler Green? Oh yeah, okay, yeah, I
Speaker 1: don't think he made the team fourth round. I would
Speaker 1: be I would be pretty surprised I thought he got cut.
Speaker 1: I would be pretty surprised. This doesn't happen a lot.
Speaker 1: You gotta be really really bad, and it's not like
Speaker 1: it's not like, you know, the the guy that would
Speaker 1: push him out would be would be Rico because then
Speaker 1: then it's almost like we had you cut a fourth
Speaker 1: round pick, but we got a bonus player here and
Speaker 1: a guy we dropped in the sixth round that we've
Speaker 1: been working on. And I mean, I think if I
Speaker 1: had to do it right now. I think if I
Speaker 1: had to say one or the other Rico Raschult, I
Speaker 1: would take Rico m really one or the other. You
Speaker 1: know my football team, and I don't. I'm not. That's
Speaker 1: what I'm trying to say. I don't. I'm okay with
Speaker 1: cutting a fourth round pick because I feel like this
Speaker 1: was it was like a throw in bonus player that
Speaker 1: now now that I've got and I agree with you
Speaker 1: on that because I think when you look at what
Speaker 1: Rico brings and I've this has been my thing all along.
Speaker 1: He does have that one thing that I don't think
Speaker 1: anybody else in that receiver group, in that tight end
Speaker 1: group has, which is the ability. As much as you
Speaker 1: talk about is blocking and everything else, he has an
Speaker 1: ability to get out and be able to make catches
Speaker 1: in situations. We've seen him make catches down the field.
Speaker 1: We've seen him make contested catches, We've seen him make
Speaker 1: catches in red zone. Like we've seen him do this
Speaker 1: in limited number of opportunities. I think it intrigues me
Speaker 1: at least enough to where I want to enter the
Speaker 1: season and have that one extra way that I think
Speaker 1: I can use him in the red zone that maybe
Speaker 1: I don't have with these other guys that gives me
Speaker 1: something else to be able to rely on. It just
Speaker 1: doesn't sound like something the Cowboys would do. Maybe not.
Speaker 1: I just think it's worth the I think it's worth
Speaker 1: the spot. I think it's worth the roster spot. And
Speaker 1: the way I look at it is is Schultz needs
Speaker 1: to figure out how to be an NFL tight end,
Speaker 1: how to figure out like where to block and who
Speaker 1: you know, what routes the run, and he needs to
Speaker 1: be physically bigger and stronger. Rico needs to do one
Speaker 1: of the two, you know. I mean now, Schultz is
Speaker 1: probably further along and playing football and all that kind
Speaker 1: of stuff, and may even have more more long term
Speaker 1: outside but never gonna get to that type of physical
Speaker 1: you know specimen that Rico is so um you know upside,
Speaker 1: I think it would be Rico if it's one of
Speaker 1: the one or the other. But you're right day they'll
Speaker 1: figure out a way for it, and that not to
Speaker 1: be happen. That play the other day that he made
Speaker 1: that the remarkable catch that wasn't even the best part
Speaker 1: of that play in my opinion. He was going against
Speaker 1: vander esh and he got down Phil and had two
Speaker 1: or three steps on the guy. Like, that's the part
Speaker 1: to me that I think he's shown something that at
Speaker 1: least gets me a little bit excited about the future
Speaker 1: of where he could be. Again, this is a guy
Speaker 1: that still has not played a lot of football and
Speaker 1: he's already making those kinds of plays. I just think
Speaker 1: it's worth the spot. I think it's worth the roster spot.
Speaker 1: I don't disagree with you, but I think they might
Speaker 1: maybe they do. He's not Jimmy Graham, and I'm not
Speaker 1: saying he's gonna be Rico got I mean he's gonna
Speaker 1: be He's not gonna be Antonio Gates from a production standpoint,
Speaker 1: but I think he is similar to Gates in that
Speaker 1: they're not going to ask him to do all this
Speaker 1: blocking stuff. Just kind of get open, use your body
Speaker 1: and you know. And Gates developed into a Hall of
Speaker 1: Fame tight end. Rico won't do that, probably, but I
Speaker 1: think he's it's that type of skill set for him,
Speaker 1: all right. I don't like when I hear that whole thing,
Speaker 1: that excuse of like, oh, he this is a guy
Speaker 1: that hasn't been playing football since whatever grade it was, anything, Well,
Speaker 1: this is a this is a professional level. You're in
Speaker 1: an NFL. It's professional. This is where okay, you showcase
Speaker 1: your skills. This is not college or high school where
Speaker 1: you're trying out and oh, let me try out football
Speaker 1: and see if I make it. Like, we're past that level.
Speaker 1: So right now, I just feel that, Okay, given the
Speaker 1: time that he's been given already, this should be at
Speaker 1: a point where you're like, okay, you know what, let's
Speaker 1: go ahead and do this right. But here's where it
Speaker 1: makes a difference. Where it makes a difference is in
Speaker 1: the fact that he's shown you enough flashes that says
Speaker 1: I want to keep this thing going. I want to
Speaker 1: keep developing him, because it does have to factor in
Speaker 1: from the standpoint of wherever he is in his develop element.
Speaker 1: When you look at that and say, okay, he hasn't
Speaker 1: played football and he's developed this much in the amount
Speaker 1: of time we've had him, Where would he be in
Speaker 1: another year, Where would he be in another two years?
Speaker 1: Is that worth me saying I will give a roster
Speaker 1: spot to see where that if he continues to develop,
Speaker 1: and maybe in another year he has quantum leaps above
Speaker 1: where he is right now because of the development he's
Speaker 1: already had it. What does that show me? Right, So
Speaker 1: that's where I think it factors in. You're right, it
Speaker 1: doesn't make a difference. At the end of the day,
Speaker 1: you still got to produce. Nobody cares that you didn't
Speaker 1: play football, But it does matter when you're trying to
Speaker 1: figure out where he's developed in a short period of time.
Speaker 1: And wow, how you can dizzy for iggy making programs. Right,
Speaker 1: All right, let's take our final break. When we come back,
Speaker 1: we're gonna cut this thing down. We got forty two guys.
Speaker 1: Now that we say our locks, we're gonna figure out
Speaker 1: what those eleven those other eleven names should be on
Speaker 1: the fifty three man roster. Will do that when you

Speaker 1: Break from Oxnard, California. We got about fifteen minutes left
Speaker 1: in the show and we're cutting the roster down to
Speaker 1: the fifty three man roster. We've got forty two guys
Speaker 1: that we have considered to be locks, and so we
Speaker 1: have a eleven spots left and let me read some
Speaker 1: of the names. Go ahead, and you put three special
Speaker 1: teams guys on there. Yes I did. We didn't talk
Speaker 1: about them, but yes I did already already at the
Speaker 1: three guys to the forty three to talk about. Well,
Speaker 1: we're asking is that part of the forty they're already
Speaker 1: in the forty two. Yes, they've been counted in the
Speaker 1: forty two. Uh, and that would include our our specialists,
Speaker 1: our kicker, O punter in our long I mean, you
Speaker 1: guys might disagree on this, but of the eleven spots,
Speaker 1: I mean it's safe to say that if they find
Speaker 1: any of these players that get cut or traded for
Speaker 1: another team, yes you could replace them. So I mean
Speaker 1: we could say, oh, he's not on this team right now,
Speaker 1: or that fifth guys not on this team. Yeah, that's probably,
Speaker 1: But I mean I think we should say, are of
Speaker 1: the players that are here, these are the guys that
Speaker 1: don't make it. Yeah, they can swap it out. We
Speaker 1: have any point. That's exactly why anybody not anybody. There
Speaker 1: are a lot of guys that are at this point
Speaker 1: that could be swapped out for another guy. But we're
Speaker 1: gonna assume for now we're just talking about the guys
Speaker 1: that are the game. Lay a lot, I am playing
Speaker 1: a lot. I am playing along. I'm just saying, so
Speaker 1: we don't sit there and talk about well, I think
Speaker 1: they'll go get another safety for there's another tight end.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah, okay, So I think where we should
Speaker 1: start with that. There are two positions. I think we
Speaker 1: should start with defensive tackle in cornerback because we know
Speaker 1: they're going to have more numbers than the locks that
Speaker 1: we have in We're just we're good with the O line.
Speaker 1: We don't need to You didn't even mention. Honest, I'll
Speaker 1: do it for you real quick. We don't need to
Speaker 1: spend a lot of time. The injury to Marcus Martin
Speaker 1: made this thing really easy. You got your five, Cam Flemings,
Speaker 1: you're six, Joe Looney's your seven. Uh, And then you're
Speaker 1: probably talking about Chaz Green and Kadeem Edwards battling it
Speaker 1: out to prove that they belong and maybe you add
Speaker 1: a veteran in place of one of those guys if
Speaker 1: you don't feel good about it. And the only question
Speaker 1: that you would throw out there is do you feel
Speaker 1: comfortable with the idea that you're basically going to be
Speaker 1: rolling with Joe Looney as your guy that can play
Speaker 1: all three of those inside positions, are you good with that?
Speaker 1: On game day seven? You have seven game day guys yep.
Speaker 1: And the eighth guy to me would be Kadeem Edwards, right,
Speaker 1: he has been a better player than Chaz Green. Uh. Yeah,
Speaker 1: And I do not. I'm just saying, I mean, I
Speaker 1: gave I gave some to the thought of going with
Speaker 1: nine there when Marcus Martin was still healthy, but it
Speaker 1: just makes so much sense. Yeah, And you know, you
Speaker 1: fortify yourself with practice squad players if you have to.
Speaker 1: Nobody nobody. And it's very similar to a linebacker where
Speaker 1: none of those young guys have really caught anyone's eye,
Speaker 1: like Oh Campos and Bryce Jones, I mean, good offensive
Speaker 1: lineman probably don't want to sign here, you don't. I mean,
Speaker 1: and when I'm talking about undrafted guys like and they've
Speaker 1: said that before, Like it's hard to convince offensive tackles
Speaker 1: and guards to come in here knowing that the deck's
Speaker 1: going to be stacked against them to earn a spot.
Speaker 1: The one guy that might factor in here maybe his mama.
Speaker 1: Who's mama, Damien, Mama. I'm not I'm really not trying
Speaker 1: to be a jerk. I've not noticed him. One time
Speaker 1: I did. I did training, campplied. The other day we
Speaker 1: did one on one pass rushing drills and he was
Speaker 1: throwing people around. I thought he did pretty good. I
Speaker 1: think he's gone into your mind and brain just because
Speaker 1: he's always right after practice around with his girl, and
Speaker 1: he's always there, and then in your mind, he starts
Speaker 1: getting in your head. Mama, mamakayama. All right, So let's
Speaker 1: let's go to I think the two positions where we
Speaker 1: feel like they'll have more than what we had in
Speaker 1: the lock, and let's narrow it down. Let's start with cornerback.
Speaker 1: We have Mark quiz White, Tavarius Award, Duke Thomas cam Kelly.
Speaker 1: Of those guys, I think we said we'd get to
Speaker 1: five or six, we only have four locks. Which of
Speaker 1: those guys do you think make the team? Sorry? Are
Speaker 1: we at forty six players now? Now we're at forty three.
Speaker 1: We added one for the additional offensive linement. Okay, so
Speaker 1: we're now at forty three. So you've got ten players
Speaker 1: that weren't in the locks that are gonna make this team. Yes,
Speaker 1: that seems it seems like that that would be too many.
Speaker 1: But okay, well remember defensive tackle. We only got one
Speaker 1: right now, Okay, so cornerback cornerback. So you got Mark,
Speaker 1: Quiz White, various Award, Duke Thomas, and Cam Kelly. You
Speaker 1: can throw in of an Alumba if you want to,
Speaker 1: and talk about him as well. I think there's only
Speaker 1: a spot for one of those guys. I take Ward,
Speaker 1: So you're gonna go with five, I would go with
Speaker 1: I would go with Ward as well. He has been
Speaker 1: the most aggressive one, and that's the kind of player
Speaker 1: you won on the defense, someone that is aggressive and
Speaker 1: is not scared to go for it. I want six.
Speaker 1: I'll take Duke and Ward. But that's just me. How
Speaker 1: are you gonna How are you playing this game? Derek? Uh?
Speaker 1: You be the tiebreaker. Honestly, I go with Dave on this.
Speaker 1: I think I think you take six corners because I
Speaker 1: think you're gonna live a light at safety. Okay, um,
Speaker 1: And so I go with Ward as well, and I
Speaker 1: think Duke Thomas. I'm kind of torn a little bit
Speaker 1: on White and Thomas. I think one of the two
Speaker 1: of those guys, um, and I'm not really certain how
Speaker 1: they evaluate them. And I think both of them will
Speaker 1: Sunday evaluated. They evaluated, But what else can you do?
Speaker 1: And and Duke Thomas returns kickoffs, he's your primary kickoff
Speaker 1: return guy right now. So uh, mark Us White would
Speaker 1: not be doing that at all? Um, So yeah, I would,
Speaker 1: I would think. So let's let's go with let's go
Speaker 1: with two more? Yeah? Yeah, oh, with two Given the
Speaker 1: fact that if you're looking at the roster and the
Speaker 1: safeties of we have right now, then yeah, you let's
Speaker 1: add in corner Okay, So are we gonna If we're
Speaker 1: gonna do that and we're gonna go with six cornerbacks,
Speaker 1: do you feel like we stick with just three safeties
Speaker 1: or do you think you need to add an additional
Speaker 1: one from Jamal Showers McQueston huff or Tyree Robinson. We're
Speaker 1: adding a player. You wouldn't need a body Tyree Robinson
Speaker 1: until he's the guy that makes the team until Saturday
Speaker 1: or Sunday. Don't pop the champagne just yet. Don't go
Speaker 1: out and buy a house. Don't buy a house, all right,
Speaker 1: just get an apartment for now. All right, let's go
Speaker 1: on the linebackers. We had two guys that were left
Speaker 1: over that we were considering justin march Lillard and Chris Covington.
Speaker 1: Do you take any more than the five you have?
Speaker 1: And if so, which one? Given me? Covington? But I
Speaker 1: know that for the purposes, I feel we're gonna disagree
Speaker 1: on some things. But I'll take march Lillard. I'm going
Speaker 1: seven linebackers, but I'll deal with six, and I'll take JML.
Speaker 1: All right, amber they're pretty similar as far as what
Speaker 1: I've seen so far. No one that really like stands out.
Speaker 1: But I would say Chris Covington just because I don't know,
Speaker 1: just a feeling. It's it's a Rico type thing for me.
Speaker 1: I mean, he started off college playing quarterback. He's developed
Speaker 1: his body, he's developed, he getting into that that role
Speaker 1: of being a linebacker. He showed enough on tape the
Speaker 1: last couple of years to be an NFL worthy player
Speaker 1: to be drafted. So I think I think they are.
Speaker 1: That's the guy they liked too, Yeah, they liked him.
Speaker 1: I think both. Okay, keep them both, all right, So
Speaker 1: let's tell you what. Let's do this. Let's hold that,
Speaker 1: and let's say that right now they're at forty seven
Speaker 1: or forty eight. Let's depend on whether they keep one
Speaker 1: or two and see if we get to a point,
Speaker 1: but we have to make a decision on that. We
Speaker 1: may have enough room to be able to put them
Speaker 1: both there right right, all right, So defensive end we
Speaker 1: have the five. Do you think Colney Eye or Charles
Speaker 1: Tapper get considered into this mix and you keep us six?
Speaker 1: H think they both go? I really like Honestly, I've
Speaker 1: been focusing on the edge dreshers so much, but we
Speaker 1: had this defensive tackle conversation and I liked what we
Speaker 1: were saying. So I want to hold on to a
Speaker 1: couple of those guys. Good, So let's move to defensive
Speaker 1: tackle then, I do I do think they're gonna try
Speaker 1: to keep going eily because they're stubborn. They like a
Speaker 1: player they like three years ago in the draft. They
Speaker 1: still like them. Um me, they'll I think they'll figure
Speaker 1: out out a spot for him. Okay, um let's talk
Speaker 1: about go ahead. Okay, so let's go to defensive tackle.
Speaker 1: We have to add some defensive tackles on right now.
Speaker 1: So you got your Hardward Antoine Woods, Brian Price, Dayton Jones. Um,
Speaker 1: we've kind of, I think from the standpoint and discussion,
Speaker 1: we've kind of uh put put aside guys like Richard
Speaker 1: ash Lewis Neil for by the time being, we agree
Speaker 1: with that. Yeah, okay, so of those four, how many
Speaker 1: and which ones do you keep? I think you keep
Speaker 1: three of the four, okay, and if so, Malik plus
Speaker 1: another three, so you're gonna keep four. Yeah. The three
Speaker 1: that I would pick from that group would be Woods,
Speaker 1: um Ward and Jones. Yeah. Oh, I know it's tough.
Speaker 1: Brian Bryce has do you think if you don't keep
Speaker 1: Ward then you don't really have another guy who can
Speaker 1: play the three? Well? Like, that's what But the three
Speaker 1: is the part. I think the three is the part
Speaker 1: where you could slide one of these defensive ends down
Speaker 1: Cree technique. That's where you you feel pretty good about
Speaker 1: one of those guys going down to the three technique. Yeah,
Speaker 1: if necessary. The one technique is the issue, and Brian
Speaker 1: Price to me is your he is a Him and
Speaker 1: Malik are the guys that play one technique can play
Speaker 1: it well. Antoine Woods could as well if the team.
Speaker 1: If War makes the team, I think he's the guy
Speaker 1: that cut in week five. If who I'm sorry, I
Speaker 1: got you. I think he's your David Irving cut. Maybe
Speaker 1: I think now like you guys have said, everything always
Speaker 1: works out, you everything. So how many do we think
Speaker 1: they're keeping? Nine? Ten? Five? And we got all right,
Speaker 1: I think you're gonna do five ends? I don't. I
Speaker 1: think I agree with Nick on the Coney Eily thing.
Speaker 1: I just don't know how you do it. So I'm
Speaker 1: kind of waiting to see if I have a spot left.
Speaker 1: But yes, right now we got five ends, and then
Speaker 1: you presume take four defensive tackles. Let's not forget too
Speaker 1: that that you know, Cowboys signed Cony Eily. They they
Speaker 1: don't know if doren To Armstrong can be ready to play.
Speaker 1: I mean I don't think they've probably signed him before
Speaker 1: the draft. Um. And then also, I mean, there's no
Speaker 1: way you could have ever assumed that Randy Gregory was
Speaker 1: gonna factor into anything. And if they were, they were,
Speaker 1: they would have been really dumb to say, well, we
Speaker 1: got him, so we won't do this or this or this.
Speaker 1: I mean, you don't. You don't play that game. So uh,
Speaker 1: this is a good problem to have. And and because
Speaker 1: now Gregory's back in the mix, he's gonna squeeze somebody out.
Speaker 1: And and then the play of Antoine Woods and Brian
Speaker 1: Price and Dayton Jones is probably gonna squeeze out Cony Eily. Actually,
Speaker 1: for the time being, I'll say MALIEK. Collins, Dayton Jones,
Speaker 1: Jihad Ward and Antoine Woods. I kind of I don't
Speaker 1: really believe that Brian Price isn't gonna be on this team.
Speaker 1: I don't either, But but Woods, that's what you know.
Speaker 1: You have him there because you don't expect Antoine Woods
Speaker 1: to do what he did. But when he does, you
Speaker 1: take out the guy that's been in the league three
Speaker 1: or four years for the young guy that's promising. Yeah, honestly,
Speaker 1: I don't think and this is just my opinion, I
Speaker 1: don't think gihad Ward really Dayton Jones either. I don't
Speaker 1: think either one of them have been better than Price.
Speaker 1: The Woods out here at training camp. Now. Of course,
Speaker 1: that doesn't matter as much all the time because they're
Speaker 1: also going up against different guys. You know, looked pretty
Speaker 1: nice in the preseason game. He did. He did. But
Speaker 1: I guess from that standpoint, I look at it and
Speaker 1: I say, I think I think Malik obviously, and then
Speaker 1: I think Woods, Price, and I think I'll probably go
Speaker 1: with Jones for sure. I think I think Gihadward is
Speaker 1: the guy I will probably have out on that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but I would not be surprised if they say, screw
Speaker 1: the numbers, we're going to take all five. That wouldn't
Speaker 1: shock me, just because there's a position where they could
Speaker 1: kind of just again if you had they decided they
Speaker 1: wanted to go with end. It's not the worst thing
Speaker 1: in the world. A defense and on the defensive line. Yeah,
Speaker 1: all right, let's go on to a quarterback. Mike white
Speaker 1: In out in in, Yeah, I'll come in. I'll come
Speaker 1: on here and I'll eat all the crow you want
Speaker 1: if he doesn't make this team. But I don't understand
Speaker 1: how you don't. I think you can't go along everywhere.
Speaker 1: And this is a position where it's a convenience position.
Speaker 1: It's not necessarily because you have to have him on
Speaker 1: this team. So I kind of believe they may opt
Speaker 1: to just go with two and hope that they can
Speaker 1: get him to the practice squad, which I don't think
Speaker 1: is is beyond the scope. Like I think they could
Speaker 1: probably get him to the practice squad. It's not beyond
Speaker 1: the scope. I just fourth round picks don't get cut
Speaker 1: very often. I know he's a fifth, but he's a quarterback,
Speaker 1: don't I'd be surprised. Yeah, all right, let's go on
Speaker 1: a running back, Darius Jackson. Can you fit him in? No? No,
Speaker 1: nor Fortunately, wide receivers, you're gonna have to get one
Speaker 1: or two more Lanceloor, Noah Brown, Deontay Thompson. How many
Speaker 1: more do you get? And who are they? How many
Speaker 1: more spots do we have? Yep, you're right now, you're
Speaker 1: at for sure, you're at forty eight. I would love
Speaker 1: to I'm sorry, No, I'm sorry, you're at fifty two.
Speaker 1: It's a big difference yet one receivers. I would love
Speaker 1: to keep seven receivers for a variety of reasons. But
Speaker 1: I had correct, that's fifty one. I'm sorry, I'm there.
Speaker 1: You go, well, we haven't hit the tight end position.
Speaker 1: And it also depends if you're if Mike We didn't really,
Speaker 1: I mean, if you guys are all greening, Mike White's
Speaker 1: in you actually fifty at fifty two, did we decide
Speaker 1: we were keeping four tight ends already? No, we had
Speaker 1: not decided that that's that's gonna be I think that's
Speaker 1: gonna be it right there is? What what are you
Speaker 1: doing at tight end? Or you go you're comfortable with three.
Speaker 1: You're gonna carry Rico. You're gonna add a veteran tight end?
Speaker 1: What are you doing? And if so, I don't know
Speaker 1: how you keep seven receivers if you're keeping four tight
Speaker 1: ends unless you're willing think you gotta go six. I
Speaker 1: gotta go six exactly, and that that gets you at
Speaker 1: that point. Then you're at fifty three and you haven't
Speaker 1: talked about the Titans. So you're assuming at that point
Speaker 1: Rico's out. Yeah, yeah, which I don't know that. I'm
Speaker 1: just I don't think you can. You can't have your
Speaker 1: cake and eat it like you gotta. Right. It's also why,
Speaker 1: which is also why I think quarterback is the position
Speaker 1: where you go short, find me a fifth quarterback next year? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I agree, you can go back and get another. See
Speaker 1: I'll take the counter argument and say, I'm not gonna
Speaker 1: let somebody else take a quarterback that I feel good about,
Speaker 1: just because this seventh receiver that I like, but who
Speaker 1: won't dress. That's also the question do you still feel
Speaker 1: good about him? Right? I mean you you felt good
Speaker 1: on draft day, You've seen a whole camp, do you
Speaker 1: still feel I'm not worried about a fifth round about
Speaker 1: a quarterback because I mean, yeah, I think they took
Speaker 1: a flyer, they had a higher grade on him. But
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not I wouldn't be worried about cutting
Speaker 1: a fifth round quarterback knowing that I have a starter
Speaker 1: who's twenty four. I have a backup twenty three. I'm
Speaker 1: okay with that. That's my point, Like, you're still developing
Speaker 1: your starter in your backup, so I don't think it's
Speaker 1: a situation. You got to be thinking about the future.
Speaker 1: You're thinking about it. He's got three games to prove
Speaker 1: your wrong and he and he might. Why why'd you
Speaker 1: even draft him then? Just just to see if Cooper
Speaker 1: Rush was a flash in the pan and maybe this
Speaker 1: guy's going to be better and they still they still
Speaker 1: might developed into that way. It's early. I think you're
Speaker 1: okay with a young quarterback. I think you're okay with
Speaker 1: two there. All right, we will be handing these over
Speaker 1: to the Cowboys brass and we'll see what they think
Speaker 1: about it. So we settled on six receivers. We settled
Speaker 1: on six receivers. You got to tell me who it
Speaker 1: would be Lance right now, But we got a lot
Speaker 1: of time left in the preseason. Noah Brown's still got
Speaker 1: time to make a case. You got you got the
Speaker 1: guy that's done the most out here in Lance. You
Speaker 1: got the guy that's the fastest in Thompson. You got
Speaker 1: the guy that's the biggest with in Noah Brown. That's
Speaker 1: a good battle there. Thompson worked with Sean Jay Lal
Speaker 1: and Buffalo too. That counts for something. We will have
Speaker 1: more on this on Monday. We'll talk a little bit
Speaker 1: more about this and wrap up training camp on Monday.
Speaker 1: We'll do a lot of questions and give you guys
Speaker 1: a good synopsis of what has happened over these three weeks.
Speaker 1: We appreciate you taking time with us in this entire
Speaker 1: training camp out here Oxna, California. We will be back
Speaker 1: at the Star on Monday till then for Nick Eatman,
Speaker 1: David Hellman, Amber Garcia. I'm Derek Eatings and this has
