Speaker 6: How are we feeling today?
Speaker 5: I'm feeling great. We're a live right, we're alive. We're here,
Speaker 5: we're talking football. I'm sitting next to a Cowboys Lynchend.
Speaker 7: You know, poor man's Charles Barkley, he said, he said.
Speaker 9: He said that offline.
Speaker 1: I love that. That's who I am. The poor man's
Speaker 1: uh what child's made ten million a year.
Speaker 10: So take nine thousand dollars and give me the hundred left,
Speaker 10: give me one hundred left.
Speaker 7: How are we feeling today?
Speaker 3: Night?
Speaker 1: Oh? Great man, great, great, y'all Barkley.
Speaker 9: Yes, Nate's willing to take a team friendly deal on
Speaker 9: his Oh yes.
Speaker 1: Yes, I can come there. I'll come out here free.
Speaker 6: We have lots to talk about today, lots to talk
Speaker 6: about really intense patted practice yesterday. But let's get into
Speaker 6: the news and notes end everything that Patrick want.
Speaker 5: Well, first, let's go ahead and get the uh the
Speaker 5: non football stuff out of the way. Business. Dak Prescott
Speaker 5: and Ceedee Lamb have both well. We received an update
Speaker 5: from Stephen Jones on both Ceede Lamb and Dak Prescott's contract.
Speaker 5: Let me put it that way, So as we knew
Speaker 5: going into the back end of the weekend, uh, the
Speaker 5: Cowboys submitted an offer recently to both Dak Prescott and
Speaker 5: CD Lamb as recently it's Friday, great news show some
Speaker 5: traction there. We got some news from Stephen Jones effective
Speaker 5: yesterday morning that they got a counter offer from Ceedee
Speaker 5: Lamb on Sunday night. So that just lets you know
Speaker 5: that it's activity there. Stephen defined it as quote unquote
Speaker 5: upbeat and very cordial. So there's movement and it could
Speaker 5: land at any day, any moment. The good news is
Speaker 5: there's movement there and as far as Dak Prescott is concerned,
Speaker 5: Cowboys remain upbeat as far as that as well. You know,
Speaker 5: the temperature between the talks are hot. Things are going on,
Speaker 5: So good news there. Now to the football side, Treyvon Diggs,
Speaker 5: first team All Pro record sitting cornerback.
Speaker 9: He's back.
Speaker 5: He was officially removed from the team's pup physically unable
Speaker 5: to perform list. As far as expectations go, I'm told
Speaker 5: don't expect him on the field as far as team
Speaker 5: drills with seven on sevens just yet.
Speaker 9: They're continuing him in his ramp up period.
Speaker 5: From that rehab from the torn acl But he is
Speaker 5: available to practice as soon as they deem him willing,
Speaker 5: not willing, but worthy to do so.
Speaker 7: Worthy being the operative word.
Speaker 6: And I know Mike macarthy was talking about kind of
Speaker 6: easing him into practice. We saw him out there, he
Speaker 6: was on the field, he was doing his preparations getting already.
Speaker 6: I can't wait to see him in paths on the
Speaker 6: field and everything. But how soon should we expect to
Speaker 6: see that.
Speaker 9: I honestly wouldn't put a date on it.
Speaker 5: I would say it could be as early as next
Speaker 5: week when they start putting him into because keep in mind,
Speaker 5: he has to go through up to individual drills first,
Speaker 5: so like yesterday he was doing work with trainer Britt Brown,
Speaker 5: getting himself back together as far as conditioning goes. He'll
Speaker 5: go from there and then he has to go to
Speaker 5: individual drills. From individual drills, then you work him into
Speaker 5: seven on seven drills, and then you work him into
Speaker 5: full team drills. So if you look at it from
Speaker 5: that capacity alone, you might not see Trayvon Diggs doing
Speaker 5: seven on seven or full team drills until earlier mid
Speaker 5: next week.
Speaker 9: But I would I'm hesitant to put a date on it.
Speaker 5: I said, let that play itself out, because what you
Speaker 5: don't want to do is rush that guy back, and
Speaker 5: they have no intentions of doing that.
Speaker 10: I have seen through experience. I've seen it, I've been
Speaker 10: a part of it.
Speaker 1: I know that he's physically, bodily wise ready to go.
Speaker 10: If Britt Brown releases you, you are physically ready to go.
Speaker 10: The question I've always had for trainers and everybody concerned
Speaker 10: the player mostly is where you at mentally when you
Speaker 10: when you make that first awkward move, how will you
Speaker 10: respond after that?
Speaker 1: So I'm always waiting on I like the slow approach.
Speaker 10: If he get back by the six or seventh game
Speaker 10: of the year, where a snap count, it would not
Speaker 10: bother me. With a with a snap count meaning ten
Speaker 10: plays here of fifteen twenty a ramp up, it would
Speaker 10: not bother me. And am I am serious? I wanted
Speaker 10: it for Still, I wanted it for Michael Gallup.
Speaker 1: It's just the way I'm built, you know.
Speaker 10: And I know sometimes you say, well, we need this guy,
Speaker 10: we need he's better than the backup.
Speaker 1: No he's not, because he's mentally not ready.
Speaker 10: And you don't want that game where somebody go off
Speaker 10: on you and say Oh, I'm really not ready. You
Speaker 10: don't want that still went through, This guy'd be one
Speaker 10: of the most him and Dad got a rank one
Speaker 10: in two in mental toughness.
Speaker 1: Still was still with through last year.
Speaker 9: Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 10: He wasn't mentally ready. Physically he was. I mean, you
Speaker 10: see no injuries, but mentally he was not ready. But
Speaker 10: those first seven eight games and uh, and I just
Speaker 10: want this kid to be mentally ready. I know he's
Speaker 10: physically ready, but I want him to be mentally ready.
Speaker 10: So if you don't get back into the fifth of
Speaker 10: sixth game, I'm good with it. I may not be
Speaker 10: good with Missus Jones brown out the fans, but I'm
Speaker 10: just saying, from a player's perspective.
Speaker 6: No, one hundred percent. And it hasn't even been a
Speaker 6: full year since that injury. Like, it's not like we're
Speaker 6: talking about exactly, it's not like we're talking about last
Speaker 6: training camp where this happened. It's it hasn't been a
Speaker 6: full year yet, and I'm more than comfortable seeing them
Speaker 6: sort of ease him into practice, as Michael McCarthy talked about.
Speaker 6: All right, boy, so our next point, the pads are on. Yes,
Speaker 6: we saw him on yesterday football is actually happening. The
Speaker 6: pads are popping, and I want to ask you, guys
Speaker 6: from a football perspective, what is the significance of having
Speaker 6: pads on during these and why are there so few
Speaker 6: padded practices for the people at home.
Speaker 10: Well, the number one reason they say safety the number
Speaker 10: of wear and tell on the body. That's number two.
Speaker 10: But for me, what past does give you a more
Speaker 10: real life timing? The quicker you can ramp yourself up
Speaker 10: to use of getting hit and being physical and going
Speaker 10: through the actual plays.
Speaker 1: It helps the timing.
Speaker 10: The quarterback get to see when you're out there as
Speaker 10: a wide receiver, when you're in no pass, nobody's really
Speaker 10: putting hands on you. But now these cornerbacks are putting
Speaker 10: hands on these receivers. So now they have to learn
Speaker 10: to adjust their routes, the hand movement, the hand combat
Speaker 10: that has to go. It's a lot of things that
Speaker 10: go into when you put the pads on. Like me personally,
Speaker 10: when I played, I was the worst guy with no
Speaker 10: pass Because guys, young guys.
Speaker 1: Be running by.
Speaker 10: Everybody running by, they'll be laughing, you know, But the
Speaker 10: past go It's like now I'm laughing, I'm sitting over
Speaker 10: there laughing and eating a doughnut, drinking coffee like you
Speaker 10: ain't the guy you thought you was so uh, And
Speaker 10: we see it every year.
Speaker 1: Man, this guy looked great.
Speaker 10: Like we was talking yesterday for the past, for no
Speaker 10: paths to be on these guys great.
Speaker 1: Well, a few guys disappeared yesterday.
Speaker 9: You know who didn't disappear.
Speaker 5: Yes today Tyler got no no, but we'll touch It
Speaker 5: comes to the paths more or less. You're talking about CBA,
Speaker 5: the Collective Bargaining Agreement.
Speaker 9: Uh.
Speaker 5: You know, it's been negotiated time and again and most recently,
Speaker 5: I believe this newest one is from twenty twenty, and
Speaker 5: it just basically dictates how many hours per week uh
Speaker 5: can be put into you know, not only on field work,
Speaker 5: but especially contact like full contact like playing in pads.
Speaker 5: So you know, these NFL coaches nowadays, and unfortunately Mike McCarthy,
Speaker 5: he's he's felt his share of fines over the past
Speaker 5: several seasons because of this or that, you know, because
Speaker 5: he's been pushing to get the work done and it
Speaker 5: might go over a little bit on this time or
Speaker 5: that time.
Speaker 7: And there's so many intricacy, there's so.
Speaker 5: Many intricacies to it. So at the end of the day,
Speaker 5: it's just it's a bold new world. It's not the
Speaker 5: same world that we enjoyed as football fans when Big
Speaker 5: Nate was playing, and you know, the Dynasty days of
Speaker 5: the Cowboys where Jimmy had him out there too days
Speaker 5: and things like that.
Speaker 9: It's just not that anymore.
Speaker 5: So, you know, I know that kind of lends to
Speaker 5: some people viewing that as a part of the injury conversation.
Speaker 9: As far as you.
Speaker 5: Know, is that one of the reasons why we're seeing
Speaker 5: so many injuries in the NFL nowadays. I could see
Speaker 5: the argument for that. But at the same time, these
Speaker 5: guys nowadays, they never really stopped training in the offseason anyway,
Speaker 5: So that's how you kind of balance that. But if
Speaker 5: you're wondering why so few numbers of padded practices in
Speaker 5: training camp, it's because of the CBA.
Speaker 6: Fair enough, fair enough, And do we wish that number
Speaker 6: were higher? I mean, just personally, do we wish that
Speaker 6: number were high?
Speaker 5: As a fan, yeah, I want to see more, pop
Speaker 5: I don't care because all thirty two teams are doing it.
Speaker 1: When I played, it was every day, two days.
Speaker 10: An easy day was full pass in the morning, shoulder
Speaker 10: pads and helmet. In the evening, forty nine ers went
Speaker 10: shoulder pads, run period and one on one period and
Speaker 10: then they was off and they did longer practice. They
Speaker 10: did two hours to two hours and thirty minutes. We
Speaker 10: did shorter practices. Hours lasted an hour and forty five
Speaker 10: minutes because we hit. So it doesn't vary from team
Speaker 10: to team. Everybody's under the same. Veterans get ten hours
Speaker 10: a day, Rookies get up to twelve hours a day.
Speaker 1: That's it.
Speaker 7: So what separates the great teams from the.
Speaker 10: It still comes down to who's got that dog in them,
Speaker 10: who's got the better athletes, that got the biggest dogs.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 10: It still comes down to the athletic guy above the shoulders,
Speaker 10: not below the shoulders, but above the shoulders. Who has
Speaker 10: a little chip on the shoulders. That's that's that's what
Speaker 10: that's what drives the same still.
Speaker 5: But it's also like like Nate said, and as far
Speaker 5: as like the timing goes, you know, when you're talking
Speaker 5: about as Mike McCarthy puts it, they're running around in
Speaker 5: their underwear. That's completely different from when the pads are
Speaker 5: on its full contact as full speed. Now you get
Speaker 5: to really see who you're lining up against. Now they
Speaker 5: get to see who they're lining up against. And and
Speaker 5: yesterday they were off to the races and we saw
Speaker 5: exactly that. And you know, you start to see the
Speaker 5: separating line between who looks great in OTAs with no
Speaker 5: pads versus who can still look great when they are
Speaker 5: actually getting attacked at the line of scrimmage, if you're
Speaker 5: a receiver, or if you're in the trenches when Michael
Speaker 5: Parsons is coming at your full speed Olsa Diggi Zuo
Speaker 5: was coming at your full speed, or trying to get
Speaker 5: around a brock Hoffman who had another had a great
Speaker 5: day yesterday. So full pads basically really gives you the
Speaker 5: early indication of who will continue to stand out when
Speaker 5: it matters.
Speaker 7: Most everyone has a plan until they get hunched in
Speaker 7: the mouth.
Speaker 9: Yeah, word, tyson, word tyson.
Speaker 6: We had some explosive moments in practice yesterday. I kind
Speaker 6: of want to touch on some of these.
Speaker 7: I was there.
Speaker 6: I was on this side of the field. That happened
Speaker 6: on the other side headed my direction, where Jane Thomas
Speaker 6: had an insane interception jumping Douce Vaughan's route picking off
Speaker 6: a Cooper Rush interception.
Speaker 7: Just an amazing play.
Speaker 6: Uh Patrick has an amazing video of that play that
Speaker 6: is on at Voice of the Star on Twitter. And
Speaker 6: also we have a new document or not documentary article
Speaker 6: feature on Dallas Cowboys dot com called Camp Captures where
Speaker 6: we where we highlight a lot of those plays that
Speaker 6: are report our team reporters are filming on the sidelines.
Speaker 7: Great video.
Speaker 6: By the way, I think you need to be a cinematographer.
Speaker 6: I think you were a cinematographer in another life, in
Speaker 6: a previous life.
Speaker 9: I take the wish that money had rolled over what.
Speaker 6: Were some other great individual plays yesterday with the pads.
Speaker 5: On Well, another interception right for Mike zimmers defense, and
Speaker 5: it seems like it doesn't matter which quarterback is back there.
Speaker 5: They're finding ways. Zimmer secondary, they're finding ways to get
Speaker 5: their hands on the ball. Shouts out to one Yea
Speaker 5: Thomas the way he read that route, because I was
Speaker 5: standing on the same side of the field as you,
Speaker 5: the way he read closed, reacted and was able to
Speaker 5: pull that ball in. That was Yeah, that was fantastic.
Speaker 5: So that's great. Obviously, you want to continue to see that.
Speaker 5: Tyler Goyton, we got to talk about Tyler Goeydon. He
Speaker 5: looked good up against Michael Parsons in the mock game,
Speaker 5: going through the motions. How would he look against Michael
Speaker 5: Parsons when they were in full pads. And then you
Speaker 5: saw before practice yesterday Michael Parsons telling Mozzie Smith, no
Speaker 5: more games, no more games, I'm going to show you
Speaker 5: how it's done, which told you the mindset of Michael Parsons.
Speaker 5: He was going to go out there, he was going
Speaker 5: to attack this rookie first round pick, and as it
Speaker 5: turns out, time and time again, he ran into a
Speaker 5: stone wall, even with that fast get off that he has.
Speaker 9: So Tyler Goyton was phenomenal.
Speaker 5: Jalen Brooks again we talked about we talked about one
Speaker 5: Ye Thomas with that play.
Speaker 7: But also insane play.
Speaker 5: I mean, just yeah, Mazzie Smith is he's looking He's
Speaker 5: looking good.
Speaker 9: Mazzie Smith is looking good. Did he have a perfect
Speaker 9: day yesterday? No he didn't.
Speaker 5: But as I posted some clips, his get off is
Speaker 5: in fact it's fast. It was one of the fastest
Speaker 5: ones yesterday that I monitored. His size is there, his mindset,
Speaker 5: is there. He looks like he's playing looser. It looks
Speaker 5: like he's playing more comfortable in you two man.
Speaker 6: And this is not to be totally entirely optimistic, like
Speaker 6: we're not. We don't have the blinders on, like this
Speaker 6: is just what we're saying.
Speaker 9: Was it a perfect day? No?
Speaker 6: But it was a damn good day from No. And
Speaker 6: we even have to talk about these quarterbacks. I mean
Speaker 6: that there are a lot of I in ts flying
Speaker 6: around and I know I was talking to Nate about
Speaker 6: this earlier too. I mean, how do we feel about
Speaker 6: the quarterback situation at the moment.
Speaker 10: One thing has been very consistent about this camp, and uh,
Speaker 10: it's been our dbs and our linebackers getting picks. That
Speaker 10: has been very consistent. It has been very inc assistance.
Speaker 10: Is our quarterbacks and wide receivers are not making this connection.
Speaker 10: I know we don't. We're missing CD Lamb, but we
Speaker 10: still have the Brooks brothers, you know, the jaalenks Wet.
Speaker 1: We still you know, we still have uh uh what's that?
Speaker 1: What's that? Got number three? Good?
Speaker 10: While Rennick we still have him. Uh, we still have
Speaker 10: Ferguson at tight end. So it still should be a connection.
Speaker 1: Here, but our dbs.
Speaker 10: And linebackers are taking over the whole camp. That has
Speaker 10: been the one of things that's making system with or
Speaker 10: without pads. Has these guys been breaking on the ball.
Speaker 10: Just a great job to coach Harrison what he's doing
Speaker 10: with all those guys in the backfield. But I liked
Speaker 10: it yesterday was simply linebackers coming downhill, meeting the guards,
Speaker 10: meeting full backs when they when one was in there
Speaker 10: coming up filling lanes. That was something unique and different.
Speaker 10: Everybody like, yeah, I don't want to hear that. It's
Speaker 10: something different than last year. Even before the young man
Speaker 10: got hurt. Uh, these guys were not coming downhill like
Speaker 10: that and meeting people in the hole and redirect and
Speaker 10: running back.
Speaker 1: So that was something good to see. Uh Uh.
Speaker 10: I'm excited about about BB. But Happman does have as
Speaker 10: slight Yeah, he has a slight lead over him.
Speaker 1: Uh Uh.
Speaker 10: They still it's rotating, uh idoga and guiding.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 10: People's looking at guiding and he's doing nice things. But
Speaker 10: I see as a as a fellow lineman, I see
Speaker 10: the things that he truly needed to work on that
Speaker 10: can make him get him in trouble, you know, because Uh,
Speaker 10: just little things that he needs to work on. So
Speaker 10: to me, he had a nice day and he's building.
Speaker 10: Uh what I need a little bit more from Mysia's
Speaker 10: Uh he has to Some people cannot have an off play.
Speaker 10: If Mazie has ten snaps, he has to have nine and.
Speaker 1: A half of them, right.
Speaker 10: Uh, Because what I'm saying is, yeah, he still hasn't
Speaker 10: broken that habit yet of his lacks of dazeriness if
Speaker 10: that's a word, He's say every nine and then he'll
Speaker 10: get a little lack of daser.
Speaker 1: You can, you can, you can, you can, you can.
Speaker 10: Catch him off guard, and you can you can hook
Speaker 10: him one way or the other, and uh, never straight ahead.
Speaker 10: He's always good with the straight ahead stuff. But you
Speaker 10: can hook him and you don't you don't want that.
Speaker 10: Not a single block. Now if you hooking him with
Speaker 10: a double block, I don't care that leads my linebackers running,
Speaker 10: but with a single block. So I'm looking at him, Okay,
Speaker 10: five great plays them two.
Speaker 1: That he didn't do what he needed to do.
Speaker 10: So I'm looking for more consistency for him, and I'm
Speaker 10: looking for a little bit more consistency from guiding it.
Speaker 1: I'll beg with his technique. That's what he'll he'll he'll
Speaker 1: want to lean on you.
Speaker 10: I don't think he don't believe that he's strongest what
Speaker 10: he's so he'll kind of want to lean on you.
Speaker 1: So that's what I noticed about that right there.
Speaker 10: But like I said, the linebackers coming downhill, mazi uh
Speaker 10: out of you know, just moving.
Speaker 1: Like you said, he got clips of it.
Speaker 10: Where he's moving when he's thinking about it. You know,
Speaker 10: every every every snap, somebody should be tapping. They stay quick,
Speaker 10: big fellas, stay quick because if he develops.
Speaker 1: Into what we think he can be, we got something.
Speaker 1: We'll have something special.
Speaker 10: With Kendricks behind him at that middle linebacker, we will
Speaker 10: have something special. A veteran with a young guy working
Speaker 10: like that. So I was excited about yesterday because one
Speaker 10: thing this team continues to do day in and day out,
Speaker 10: and they've been here for about a week now, is
Speaker 10: they're still moving quick. They're moving quick that they're giving
Speaker 10: coach what they need to have, and that's quickness.
Speaker 1: And we didn't have a lot of off sides.
Speaker 10: All all size was on the defense, all all sizes
Speaker 10: on defense.
Speaker 1: We didn't have a lot of that on the office.
Speaker 10: So trying to let me know jump on Tomen so
Speaker 10: that let me knows that guys that guys know what
Speaker 10: they're doing.
Speaker 6: Absolutely all right, Well, we have something special coming up
Speaker 6: for you. Next, we have a lot more with Tyler Kuiten.
Speaker 6: We have a lot more brock Hoffman Cooper BB talk
Speaker 6: more talking cowboys.
Speaker 7: Right after this.

Speaker 6: He broke his helmet. He missed a few snaps because
Speaker 6: he was getting a brand new helmet. Shouts to our

Speaker 6: but he did miss a few snaps when he got
Speaker 6: back in though he was up against Michael Parsons. Now,
Speaker 6: I want to ask you, he's looking like a first
Speaker 6: pick right now going up against Michael Parsons. But is
Speaker 6: he ready for the onslaught of the first half of
Speaker 6: the season, which includes Miles Garrett, t J. Watt, Leonard Floyd?
Speaker 5: What are we thinking as we have this conversation with
Speaker 5: julat thirty first, No, m as he is trendy in
Speaker 5: the first week of practice. How darre right, as he
Speaker 5: is trending, there is a very strong possibility that he
Speaker 5: will be ready for Miles Garrett in the Cleveland Browns
Speaker 5: because it's the best way to get ready for a
Speaker 5: Miles Garrett or TJ. Watt is to go against Michael Parsons,
Speaker 5: a guy like Michael Parsons in practice. And then when
Speaker 5: you see Tyler Goutton doing what he's able to do
Speaker 5: against Michael Parsons, not once, not twice, but several times
Speaker 5: throughout the reps. Now, Michael Parsons he's gonna get his right,
Speaker 5: he's gonna win sooner or later and later than sooner.
Speaker 5: But the fact that Tyler Guitton is more than holding
Speaker 5: his own against arguably the best defensive player in the league,
Speaker 5: that has to let everybody know that goutt In has
Speaker 5: the good. So now it's just about consistency. We're talking
Speaker 5: about that. You know, our breakfast is consistent inside joke,
Speaker 5: But when you talk about Tyler Gotton, now it's about
Speaker 5: taking those good reps, tweaking what needs to be tweaked
Speaker 5: some of the things that Big Nate was pointing out,
Speaker 5: not necessarily leaning into your guy, trust, your strength and
Speaker 5: things like that, and then just building upon that from
Speaker 5: a REP to REP basis. But if you show me
Speaker 5: you can do something once, that tells me you can
Speaker 5: do it twice, and you can do it a hundred times.
Speaker 9: Now you just gotta go out there and do it.
Speaker 10: Just it's all about when when I'm when I'm working
Speaker 10: with young guys, and I think when the offensive line coaches.
Speaker 1: That I've had in my past, man, and.
Speaker 10: Uh, you what you do is you you you overemphasize
Speaker 10: that technique. Uh, and then you let the dog come
Speaker 10: out where it barks at and uh that that's right.
Speaker 10: That's what they're trying to get them. Stay technique sound
Speaker 10: because as a left tackle, you're gonna face them bealler
Speaker 10: renals man, them raging bulls.
Speaker 1: That got baller renal feet out there on them edge.
Speaker 10: So you have to always be technique sound because at
Speaker 10: the end of the day, that's what's gonna save a
Speaker 10: left tackle. Now, right tackle, they can get handsy, they
Speaker 10: can get physical and mean, but at the end of
Speaker 10: the day, eighty percent of the guys you face are
Speaker 10: gonna be those quick, fast twitch, muscle type guys and
Speaker 10: they're gonna be able to spend with with with great
Speaker 10: uh great energy and explosion. And everything they do is
Speaker 10: a burst, whether it's a dipping the help, disappearing with
Speaker 10: the hip, just turning the corner with a low waist, everything.
Speaker 1: Is based off explosion.
Speaker 10: Once they hit that fourth or fifth step, they turned
Speaker 10: into the quarterback and that's where he has to be
Speaker 10: good as a battleerina to be able to go back
Speaker 10: and forth and keep his knees bent, you know, and
Speaker 10: not lean into it because a lot of times when
Speaker 10: you're having a good practice, so you feel you're having
Speaker 10: a good practice, you forget about that technique Like I'm
Speaker 10: a dog this guy, you know what I'm saying, And
Speaker 10: all of a sudden, that's when.
Speaker 1: Miles Garrett, Michael Parsons.
Speaker 10: Or the kid from Pittsburgh, that's when they'll leave you
Speaker 10: standing there exactly.
Speaker 1: So sorry.
Speaker 10: So the technique has to be a very very uh
Speaker 10: uh with a with a left tackle that had a
Speaker 10: left tackle and a center those two positions has to
Speaker 10: be technique mentally tough. Like I saw him yesterday. He
Speaker 10: made up, he made he didn't make a good play.
Speaker 10: It was a soso play, you know, And I wanted
Speaker 10: to walk up to him and say, you're big. You're
Speaker 10: a big corner back, baby, you're cornerback. And people say,
Speaker 10: what do you mean by that? Cornerback can get beat
Speaker 10: for a bomb, come back and get a pick. You
Speaker 10: can get beat for a sack, come back and have
Speaker 10: the winning block for the touchdown. So that's you gotta
Speaker 10: have that cornerback. Look at what your technique was, readjust
Speaker 10: your technique and let's go play again.
Speaker 6: What about Tyler Gordon, Like, what technique are you most
Speaker 6: impressed with so far of his play.
Speaker 1: He got nice feet.
Speaker 10: He got he got nice feet, So that that's been
Speaker 10: the redirect and everything. When when the other day when
Speaker 10: your boys spent on him and Parson spent on him,
Speaker 10: and he went back there and there with the greatest
Speaker 10: v that I would have threw a lot of dudes off.
Speaker 5: I would have threw a lot of dudes But he
Speaker 5: can't stressed.
Speaker 10: Yeah, he he's doing what he needs to do to
Speaker 10: maintain and and and like my man Patrick said, just
Speaker 10: continue to build on what you did yesterday. I'm that
Speaker 10: I'm that guy that some people are gonna get better.
Speaker 10: Ass training camp go on, and some people gonna level off,
Speaker 10: and then some people are gonna fall off the wagon.
Speaker 10: And what you want is that guy to continue to
Speaker 10: get better, continue to get better, and to the point
Speaker 10: where he's a perfect machine.
Speaker 1: In that way when he.
Speaker 10: Faced the miles garrets of the world and other guys
Speaker 10: when attention, when attension, it's really ratched up.
Speaker 1: Yeah, now you're ready.
Speaker 5: I think people need to keep in mind and some
Speaker 5: may may know and have forgotten, some may not know
Speaker 5: at all. There is one key reason why Tyler Gotton's
Speaker 5: feet are exceptional. And that's because he's a former basketball player, right.
Speaker 5: He wasn't converted to football until high school. And he
Speaker 5: said it when we spoke with him after the draft
Speaker 5: pick was made. He said that in high school his
Speaker 5: goal was to be in the NBA. So this is
Speaker 5: a big man who had been working on his footwork
Speaker 5: his entire life as an inside the paint guy, right,
Speaker 5: so he gets to bring that and transition that and
Speaker 5: translate that to the NFL game. And that's why you
Speaker 5: see reps like yesterday, for example, Michael Parsons to get off,
Speaker 5: it's so quick that you could argue that it was
Speaker 5: off sides in that instance. If you slow it down,
Speaker 5: what you see was guy in felt Parsons stayed downfield
Speaker 5: with his eyes to make sure there wasn't an additional
Speaker 5: block and he needed the block and then had the
Speaker 5: feats to still be able to get lateral and wall
Speaker 5: off Michael Parsons. That kind of footwork is exceptional. And
Speaker 5: I talked to Tyler Smith about it yesterday, and Tyler
Speaker 5: Smith and this is his quote. I've been truly impressed.
Speaker 5: It's not that often you find a human being six seven,
Speaker 5: three thirty who has feet like that and he end
Speaker 5: quote and he's not wrong. So his base literally and
Speaker 5: figuratively speaking is exceptional. And like with Big Nate and
Speaker 5: I are saying, if he can just continue to take
Speaker 5: steps forward. I had an off the cuff conversation with
Speaker 5: Tyler yesterday. Tyler Gutton, I should say. One thing stuck
Speaker 5: out to me. He said, I'm not a rookie dog.
Speaker 5: I'm trying to be perfect. I'm trying to be the
Speaker 5: greatest ever. That that's a quote from your rookie first
Speaker 5: round pick.
Speaker 7: I love that. I love to hear that.
Speaker 6: Another battle that I wanted to touch on was brock
Speaker 6: Hoffman versus Mazzie Smith. Now we talked about this, we
Speaker 6: talked on this earlier. Brock Hoffman is not just letting
Speaker 6: Cooper BB take that center spot.
Speaker 10: He does not alternate at this point. No odoga guiding
Speaker 10: alternates depending on what the coach you want to see
Speaker 10: with what group and what This kid right now.
Speaker 1: Is winning the battle. It is early.
Speaker 10: They've been out here a little bit over a week
Speaker 10: and Hoffman ain't giving it up, and he didn't give
Speaker 10: it up yesterday in past rush. So they telling Cooper,
Speaker 10: if you want it, come get it, come and get it.
Speaker 5: Broncks is really like, you gotta come take this, you
Speaker 5: gotta come take this now. Do I believe that Cooper
Speaker 5: BB has the ability to do so?
Speaker 10: Yeah, dude, Yeah, dude. I ain't asked you about no ability.
Speaker 10: I'm asking you, will he take it? We ain't actually
Speaker 10: about no ability? I'm actually will he take it?
Speaker 5: Then I'm gonna hit you with a date line. I
Speaker 5: need to see first. You need to see first, and
Speaker 5: then we'll go from there.
Speaker 1: There we go. I love it. I love it.
Speaker 7: Now this battle? What's more important here?
Speaker 6: Do we want to see more from brock Hoffman or
Speaker 6: do we see more from Ozzie Smith? Or is it
Speaker 6: kind of battle man?
Speaker 1: I want to see the battle.
Speaker 10: I want to see Brock put so much pressure on
Speaker 10: Mazi to get Mazi where he needs to be. See
Speaker 10: one thing about I think all of us who are
Speaker 10: sitting up here, uh, we're not quick to say this
Speaker 10: guy bus this guy because some guys take a minute,
Speaker 10: and we were fortunate last year to have a few
Speaker 10: guys that could play that position. But he they're asking
Speaker 10: a lot of him to this year, so he has
Speaker 10: no room now to kind of think about it. It's
Speaker 10: yours go get it, demand that you keep it.
Speaker 1: And we need for Brock, we need for b B.
Speaker 10: Cooper, we need for the guards to have constant pressure
Speaker 10: on him so he can understand that there's no off
Speaker 10: days for me, there's no off days for Mazzie Smith.
Speaker 9: I do want to see more.
Speaker 5: I would like to see more of a first team
Speaker 5: rotation between Brock and Cooper so we can see what
Speaker 5: Cooper has. But that being said, it's also true that
Speaker 5: one area that Cooper BB is needing to work on,
Speaker 5: Brock Hoffman already has more or less downpat which is
Speaker 5: like shotgun snaps and things like that. That's why Cooper
Speaker 5: BB is working so hard on snap snap snaps. So
Speaker 5: until Cooper BB gets that down, my thought process is
Speaker 5: it is likely the same as Celari the offensive line
Speaker 5: coach and Mike McCarthy in that him being a rookie,
Speaker 5: Cooper BB, if you put him on first team, he's
Speaker 5: so focused on trying to get the snap right that
Speaker 5: maybe he blows a protection.
Speaker 9: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Right, And if you're talking about, like Nate saying, if
Speaker 5: you're talking about wanting the best possible person to also
Speaker 5: push Mozzie Smith right now. On July thirty first, that's
Speaker 5: going to be brock Hoffman because Brock is not thinking
Speaker 5: about the snap. It's muscle memory for him. He's just
Speaker 5: perfecting this technique there, but he's snapping his hands up,
Speaker 5: all right, So think about it in that capacities. Well,
Speaker 5: I'm I'm confident that before it's all said and done,
Speaker 5: between now and the end of preseason let me finish,
Speaker 5: Cooper Babe will have gotten a good bit of first
Speaker 5: team reps. Does that mean he'll beat out brock k
Speaker 5: Hoffman effective week one? That's still to be determined. But
Speaker 5: I am still standing on the hill, and I said
Speaker 5: this after the pick. I am on the hill that
Speaker 5: Tyler Gutton will be your week one. Start at left,
Speaker 5: talk left, chuckle, all right, do you see am I
Speaker 5: being proven wrong thus far? Like the the young man
Speaker 5: is really taking strides towards being exactly that.
Speaker 7: That was just my transition to the break. Thank you
Speaker 7: for smooth.
Speaker 6: Now that I'm acknowledging it, it sounds even better, right,
Speaker 6: all right? We got to go to our last break.
Speaker 6: More talking cowboys after this, more to talk about.
Speaker 7: No tur turpy.
Speaker 9: And he's getting people on his on his wagon for that.

Speaker 7: Let's give him the pearly Whites thing. What were laughing at, Nate?
Speaker 1: I didn't give. I forgot because I was somebody distracted.
Speaker 7: He zoned out. Come on, Nate Squirrel.
Speaker 6: Yeah, well, I'm putting the pressure on you now, much
Speaker 6: like the pressure drill yesterday.
Speaker 5: That's transition, definitely.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 6: I'll keep doing that all right. The pressure drill yesterday,
Speaker 6: it was entertaining. I love that. That was my favorite
Speaker 6: part of practice yesterday. You had offensive defense, first team,
Speaker 6: second team going at it. One thing I noticed yesterday
Speaker 6: in the practice drill was a number eleven linebacker.
Speaker 7: Michael Parsoners. Michael Parsons.
Speaker 6: That guy was dropping into coverage as a linebacker during
Speaker 6: the pressure drill yesterday. Boys novel idea for Mike Zimmer
Speaker 6: throwing Michael Parsons into the linebacker spot. How do we
Speaker 6: feel about his reps at linebacker?
Speaker 10: Me personally, I love it. I was one of the
Speaker 10: last holdouts when he was transitioning earlier in his career,
Speaker 10: which he is still early, he's in fourth year.
Speaker 1: I wanted him to spend his first few.
Speaker 10: Years at linebacker, keeping those instincts in tack so he
Speaker 10: could be a multiple threat all over the field. And
Speaker 10: I just feel I just feel like he if he
Speaker 10: let this and allow this to happen with enthusiasm and
Speaker 10: attacking what Zimmer's acting him doing, I think he'll he
Speaker 10: could be that next level player. I'm talking about my
Speaker 10: next type of next level player, not the basic fan.
Speaker 1: Next level player.
Speaker 5: W stands for weapon, and that's what I've always wanted
Speaker 5: Michael Parsons to be for the Cowboys. I did not
Speaker 5: want them to relegate him to either off ball linebacker
Speaker 5: or defensive end. My thing is keep him moving around.
Speaker 5: Make it a game of where's waldough for opposing offenses.
Speaker 5: And if you can do that, that is going to
Speaker 5: free up a lot of plays for other guys because
Speaker 5: Michael He's still going to make his plays as well,
Speaker 5: of course, so seeing him, you know, drop back and
Speaker 5: coverage a time or two, I have no problem with it.
Speaker 9: I like it.
Speaker 5: If only for the fact that it keeps the offense guessing,
Speaker 5: and if for that reason alone, keep it coming, mix
Speaker 5: it up.
Speaker 2: No.
Speaker 6: I think back to his rookie year when he was
Speaker 6: talking about being the queen on the chess board. You know,
Speaker 6: it's like, you don't know where he's going to go.
Speaker 6: You don't he can make any move basically on the chessboard,
Speaker 6: And I think that's relevant for what we're seeing now.
Speaker 6: Granted he was not Denni. He's an elite pass rusher,
Speaker 6: there's no doubt about it. But seeing him in Mores
Speaker 6: on the field is going to result. Like you said,
Speaker 6: he's going to be a weapon on the field. They
Speaker 6: don't know where he's going.
Speaker 5: Right, And he's dropped a little bit of weight so
Speaker 5: that he can be able to do things like that.
Speaker 5: So when he does drop back and coverage, he's not
Speaker 5: doing it just for the sake of going through the
Speaker 5: motions of the play, but he's doing it because he
Speaker 5: wants to be effective back there and be able to
Speaker 5: actually cover and maybe make a play. So he's playing
Speaker 5: at a little bit of a lighter weight this year.
Speaker 5: He said he feels better, he feels greater, and it
Speaker 5: will help with his conditioning as the games roll along,
Speaker 5: so that when the playoffs come along, he's not as
Speaker 5: worn down, not as tired. So yeah, keep moving them around,
Speaker 5: Mike Zimmer, do you think.
Speaker 10: This is what made me laugh? And I've told you
Speaker 10: this several times sitting at the dinner table.
Speaker 1: If you tell me we've had Michael.
Speaker 10: Parson's gonna be sitting at one defense at the right
Speaker 10: defensive end eighty percent of the game, any coordinator worth
Speaker 10: his saw say you just lost.
Speaker 1: Yep, you may get your sack or two, but you.
Speaker 9: Just help over there. We know where he's at.
Speaker 10: But if you put him at linebacker down line on
Speaker 10: which he's done done at all in this short training camp.
Speaker 10: Now I'll give you a quick scenario. Line him up
Speaker 10: at linebacker, Devis Evan linebacker. Now you bring up, you
Speaker 10: bring Jordan Lewis outside. All of a sudden, I'm screaming
Speaker 10: as a tackle. Trio, trio, trio. I'm bringing everybody this way.
Speaker 10: And you got Tank over there by himself, easy money.
Speaker 1: You get what I'm saying.
Speaker 10: You got to take over there by hisself, and and
Speaker 10: your boy drop out. He drop out, say Parksy drop out.
Speaker 10: Now you free everybody up to be one on one.
Speaker 9: Come on, man, free money, come on lunch, free lunch.
Speaker 1: Thank you.
Speaker 6: Now, speaking of linebacker, there's another one on this team
Speaker 6: that's showing out big time in practice and.
Speaker 7: That is Eric Kendry.
Speaker 6: Now a year ago today, I was here at training
Speaker 6: camp up watching linebackers and I was like, it's really
Speaker 6: hard to judge linebacker play, isn't it. Like you're at
Speaker 6: training camp like there's that there's no full tackles, so
Speaker 6: you can't really judge. This year with some actual linebackers
Speaker 6: with Eric Kendricks safety drop down to line exactly. With
Speaker 6: Eric Kendricks out there, I'm like, oh, this is what
Speaker 6: a linebacking corps looks like. He is absolutely and Brian
Speaker 6: Brod said this yesterday. He's as good as advertised. He
Speaker 6: is killing it up the middle. How do we feel
Speaker 6: about Eric Eric Kendricks play so far?
Speaker 10: It makes it makes the ring game on both sides
Speaker 10: better because if a guard a center don't come out
Speaker 10: and play him right with the right technique, he gonna
Speaker 10: get up on them and drive him back. Are he
Speaker 10: gonna give him a soft shoulder and fall off and
Speaker 10: make the play. So you're gonna have to square up
Speaker 10: on him. You got to learn how to drop your
Speaker 10: butt all over again and move him out of there.
Speaker 10: Uh and so now and all of a sudden, when
Speaker 10: you when you got a toss player outside tackle play,
Speaker 10: you gotta get on your horse and run because he
Speaker 10: gonna know how to hit either the AB or C gap.
Speaker 10: And so whereas you got a safeists who don't really
Speaker 10: run run up in there and get that thing, this
Speaker 10: guy don't mind getting it when need be. I'll give
Speaker 10: you a soft shoulder when need be. That's the veteran
Speaker 10: type guy. He knowing the thump and he knowing the plays.
Speaker 5: Off when Eric Kendricks had his first team All Pro season,
Speaker 5: he did two things exceptionally well. He covered and he
Speaker 5: went downhill to stop the run. You know what, We're
Speaker 5: seeing him do exceptionally well this offseason, all the way
Speaker 5: up through yesterday's practice. Cover and run downhill to stop
Speaker 5: the run. So I could not be more pleased from
Speaker 5: what I'm seeing from Eric Kendricks. He is absolutely in
Speaker 5: top form. He looks extremely comfortable, which just that tracks
Speaker 5: because he's back with Zimmer.
Speaker 9: There is not an install that he's having to learn.
Speaker 5: He's plugging play in this particular playbook with this defensive coordinator.
Speaker 5: The only thing for Eric Kendricks is bringing along the
Speaker 5: other linebackers behind him, getting them up to be as
Speaker 5: quickly as possible. But as far as what Kendricks is doing, yeah,
Speaker 5: John wickstyle, I'm thinking he's back.
Speaker 6: Absolutely, and it kind of puts things into perspective. Whenever
Speaker 6: he was going to sign with San Francisco ultimately choosing
Speaker 6: to sign with the Dallas Cowboys, it kind of puts
Speaker 6: it in perspective. With Mike Zimmer being here, I'm I'm
Speaker 6: I'm feeling this. I really am the linebacking corps overall.
Speaker 6: I mean, if you add in Marvin Overshown as well,
Speaker 6: and remember this, it's something to feel confident about it.
Speaker 1: Remember this most definitely remember this. Please remember this.
Speaker 10: Mazie is a part of the linebacking Corps. Mazzie Smith
Speaker 10: number fifty eight. I'm glad he got a linebacker number.
Speaker 10: He is a part of that, him and Big Roger
Speaker 10: because they if he suck up more than one block,
Speaker 10: these guys gonna come downhill with wide open lanes like
Speaker 10: a running back and they're gonna be filling holes.
Speaker 1: And that is the key. Mazie. You are a linebacker, baby,
Speaker 1: get off the snap.
Speaker 9: That smell like science. I like that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, watch it, he got some good Yeah, that's that
Speaker 1: black rifle, Dode. You tell me.
Speaker 7: He's ready to go like that.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 6: The linebacker play is something to behold here here at
Speaker 6: training camp.
Speaker 7: It's it's a really night and.
Speaker 1: Day early training camp here.
Speaker 5: I mean, and it's early, and it's early unheralded guys.
Speaker 5: I asked Mike McCarthy about this in his press conference yesterday.
Speaker 5: I said, this time last year, you know, you were
Speaker 5: dealing with the injury to the marve On Overshown. Ultimately
Speaker 5: before the season was over, you had the injury to
Speaker 5: Layton Vanderish, who was forced to medically retire. You were
Speaker 5: in such dire straits on the depth chart that you
Speaker 5: had to move one of your safeties down the linebacker.
Speaker 5: You only had one true linebacker that was the Moon Clark.
Speaker 5: Fast forward to this training camp. We're talking about Eric Kendricks,
Speaker 5: the return of the Marion over shown, Damon Clark to
Speaker 5: take the next step, third round pick being used on foul,
Speaker 5: but then first practice, who got the first interception? Jason Johnson,
Speaker 5: undrafted free agent Buddy Johnson is out there making plays
Speaker 5: as well on special teams. There was a fourth down
Speaker 5: stop in a two minute drill, a couple of practices
Speaker 5: to go.
Speaker 9: Who made that? Rock Mogensen, Okay, undrafted guy.
Speaker 5: So not only has the linebacker court gotten depth, but
Speaker 5: as it stands, those unheralded guys they're stepping up and
Speaker 5: making some plays too. So, like you said, Josh, the
Speaker 5: linebacker player right now is a sight to behold.
Speaker 10: The first player to scrimp scrim but inside run fifty nine,
Speaker 10: Morgeson came down and telling you, I.
Speaker 9: Say, roguson brock Leser, I don't know what it is.
Speaker 7: Yeah, you're gonna gi him five.
Speaker 9: He's out there giving five.
Speaker 6: Yeah, the beast and Carnate. I'll just drop more. I
Speaker 6: do want to say I caught this.
Speaker 9: Turfy.
Speaker 6: No, we're making it happen, tweeted us. And I do
Speaker 6: want to say, you know, all of this said with
Speaker 6: an ounce of caution, because I don't want to say
Speaker 6: the linebacker early training campus just what we're seeing, because
Speaker 6: we're not saying, first everything is perfect, We're going to
Speaker 6: this game, that game, nothing like that. It's training camp,
Speaker 6: the season as it started. Yet We're just observing what
Speaker 6: we see out there, out from.
Speaker 1: Going out, far from leaving this show.
Speaker 10: About thirty seconds, everybody hand everybody hand Interby Turby.
Speaker 9: No, no, no, I'm done. I can't work under these conditions.
Speaker 9: Chris Pine, Do you.
Speaker 6: Guys want to do one more question? Last question before
Speaker 6: we end the show. Who are some backup players fans
Speaker 6: should be keeping their closer eye on in the coming weeks.
Speaker 10: Billy White Shoes Johnson, Billy, that's my man. I mean,
Speaker 10: I hope you don't let me down. Bro, I hope
Speaker 10: you don't fall off the off the rails.
Speaker 9: Come on, come on, I'm gonna go with them.
Speaker 5: Let's go on the defensive. So let's talk Chauncey Holston.
Speaker 5: I'm gonna say Chauncey Golston. I say that because he's
Speaker 5: going into a contract season, and even before Sam Williams
Speaker 5: went down to him, they're going to need him to
Speaker 5: step up and be big. Now they're really going to
Speaker 5: need it, especially in assistance to rookie second round pick
Speaker 5: Marshawn Neeland. Saw a couple reps yesterday. Well, Chauncey Gholston
Speaker 5: looked good. One of the pressure plays on the pressure reps.
Speaker 5: He actually beat Tyler Smith with a quick ship yes,
Speaker 5: and got he teleported into the backfield. Now, of course
Speaker 5: Tyler Smith he got his link back on the very
Speaker 5: next play and he walled Chauncey off. But the fact
Speaker 5: that Chauncey was able to at least beat an all
Speaker 5: pro when Tyler Smith shows that there might be definitely
Speaker 5: something there as far as building going forward.
Speaker 9: So Chauncey, Chauncey Ghoston, I'm looking at him.
Speaker 10: Number thirteen is Tyron Billy Johnson, it is, And Chauncey
Speaker 10: is what numbers.
Speaker 9: Us, I don't have my roster in front of me.
Speaker 1: Chaunce chn Goldstein is uh ninety nine.
Speaker 10: So I want to make sure because I'm trying to
Speaker 10: learn relearn numbers and numbers.
Speaker 9: And stuff has been changing.
Speaker 10: Yeah, I want to make sure I'm correct. But I'm
Speaker 10: telling you, Uh, the D line is moving swift.
Speaker 9: Yeah.
Speaker 10: I mean, Sam love you, hope you get recover well,
Speaker 10: But his D line is moving.
Speaker 6: Swift mine for at least for now. And I saw
Speaker 6: him yesterday. I had a lot of really great reps.
Speaker 6: And this is mainly because he was on my side
Speaker 6: and I kind of have to like head in pretty
Speaker 6: early for practice. But he was on my side and
Speaker 6: I saw him catching, catching a lot and some athletic
Speaker 6: catches at that. Deontay Burnett, he just came in number
Speaker 6: six on the wide receivers. He won't keep that number
Speaker 6: because that is Donovan wil Man.
Speaker 9: You know what.
Speaker 1: He always try to get the new guys man.
Speaker 6: No, I'm just saying for what I see coming in
Speaker 6: from the UFL, seeing what he's able to do out
Speaker 6: here already.
Speaker 7: Granted he's already conditioned. He was just playing.
Speaker 6: Football a couple of weeks ago. I like what I
Speaker 6: see from Kelvin Harmon as well.
Speaker 9: Sorry about the Cowboys and scouting.
Speaker 1: I'm stinging with my thirteen.
Speaker 7: That's fair, that's fair. All right, we got to head out.
Speaker 6: Thank you so much for listening to Talking Cowboys. For
Speaker 6: Nathaniel Newton, for Patrick nose Walker.
