How's that going? 0:02:26.200 --> 0:02:29.560 It's going it's going pretty well. Cowboys storyline. Uh, it's 0:02:29.720 --> 0:02:32.720 just me and then until we get a guest, I 0:02:32.720 --> 0:02:35.480 mean we've been getting some some guests and we're fingers 0:02:35.480 --> 0:02:39.440 crossed all getting one today, uh for today's show. But yeah, 0:02:39.480 --> 0:02:41.320 it's been it's been fun getting a chance to talk 0:02:41.320 --> 0:02:43.200 with some fans. When we get back to the Star, 0:02:43.280 --> 0:02:44.880 we'll be doing a lot more of that. They'll be 0:02:44.919 --> 0:02:47.840 getting some of the callers. I'll be trying to interact 0:02:47.880 --> 0:02:49.280 with a lot of fans right now. It's been a 0:02:49.320 --> 0:02:51.320 lot of tweets been on that text line and then 0:02:51.360 --> 0:02:53.080 also get an opportunity to get some We've had some 0:02:53.120 --> 0:02:55.720 good guests in here. And then you know, of course 0:02:55.760 --> 0:02:59.000 Maverick from Top Gun showed up. Sort of air quotes 0:02:59.040 --> 0:03:02.959 on Maverick the Tom Cruise look like kinda he came 0:03:03.000 --> 0:03:05.440 into a deuced Vaughn interview and so it was like 0:03:05.480 --> 0:03:07.360 it was cool. We chatted with him for a little bit, 0:03:07.400 --> 0:03:09.440 but it was like, all right, go dude, because this 0:03:09.480 --> 0:03:12.800 guy is a real deal. This is a real deal. 0:03:15.320 --> 0:03:18.840 The game, Yeah, let's talk about that game. Cowboys. They lose, 0:03:18.919 --> 0:03:21.680 but that's not really the most important thing. Tell us 0:03:21.760 --> 0:03:24.240 what is the most important thing as far as the 0:03:24.240 --> 0:03:26.480 way you guys look at it coming out of that game? 0:03:26.760 --> 0:03:29.840 What do you think was I guess The biggest takeaway 0:03:29.919 --> 0:03:32.440 or best takeaway for the Cowboys. 0:03:32.240 --> 0:03:36.360 For me, health first and foremost. The Cowboys didn't have 0:03:36.400 --> 0:03:39.760 any major injuries. Knock on wood Niseean Wright. He was 0:03:39.800 --> 0:03:42.320 on the flight with a precautionary boot on his ankle. 0:03:42.880 --> 0:03:45.440 It's being described as a mild ankle strain mouth high 0:03:45.480 --> 0:03:49.480 ankle strain. Mike McCarthy just said that he doesn't doesn't 0:03:49.520 --> 0:03:52.080 look like Nashawn will play on Saturday against the Seahawks, 0:03:52.080 --> 0:03:53.800 but we'll see how that goes. Doesn't sound like there's 0:03:53.880 --> 0:03:57.120 major concern that Malik Jefferson left the contest against the 0:03:57.200 --> 0:03:59.840 jag Wars with a foot spray. Sounds like Malik has 0:03:59.880 --> 0:04:02.640 a better opportunity to play, but those two guys and 0:04:02.720 --> 0:04:04.880 Junior Forjoko had a shoulder injury that held him out 0:04:04.880 --> 0:04:07.080 of the game. But he has a chance to maybe play, 0:04:07.320 --> 0:04:10.400 but no major injury. So other than that, I'm good 0:04:10.400 --> 0:04:13.440 on health. Now, it's just going to play. Demarveion Overshown, 0:04:13.520 --> 0:04:16.080 he stepped up and showed me what he can be 0:04:16.240 --> 0:04:18.640 in this Cowboys defense, and then Ducevon showed you what 0:04:18.680 --> 0:04:20.120 he can be in this Cowboys offense. 0:04:20.240 --> 0:04:22.080 Yeah, true, I mean I think that you're right when 0:04:22.080 --> 0:04:26.240 you're asking McCarthy about Jefferson and who has a chance 0:04:26.240 --> 0:04:28.720 to play Jefferson and Naseean right, that's who you're asking 0:04:28.760 --> 0:04:30.560 about it coming out for a game. That's that's a 0:04:30.600 --> 0:04:33.359 good thing because it neither one of them really looked 0:04:33.400 --> 0:04:36.480 that serious. So you know the fact that Jacksonville played 0:04:36.480 --> 0:04:39.880 their starters and the Cowboys didn't, it's hard. It's gonna 0:04:39.880 --> 0:04:41.919 be tough to gauge that. Anyways, I thought the defense 0:04:42.000 --> 0:04:44.680 did well. Take the fumble away from from Turpid, which 0:04:44.720 --> 0:04:47.159 he did, but I'm just saying, you know, you take 0:04:47.160 --> 0:04:49.040 that away. I don't think they're really driving and doing 0:04:49.080 --> 0:04:50.800 a lot of stuff on that defense. So I thought 0:04:50.839 --> 0:04:52.800 I thought the defense did a good job, and I 0:04:52.839 --> 0:04:54.520 said it to you in the press box. If this 0:04:54.600 --> 0:04:56.800 is your backups, look at the guys that they got 0:04:56.800 --> 0:04:58.880 trotten out there. It just shows good depth. 0:04:58.760 --> 0:05:00.599 Especially to that point when you see a guy like 0:05:00.640 --> 0:05:03.240 one Ya Tommas, who's been building you know, good days 0:05:03.320 --> 0:05:05.520 in camp come out there, second player from scrimmage, and 0:05:05.560 --> 0:05:08.200 he intercepts not be a third and not Roork. He 0:05:08.240 --> 0:05:11.120 intercepts Trevor Lawrence trying to get one of his top 0:05:11.160 --> 0:05:13.200 receivers down the left side line. I mean, that's. 0:05:13.120 --> 0:05:15.440 Promising, such a good play. You had to kind of 0:05:15.440 --> 0:05:20.640 have an outburst, you know, it happened. All right, Let's 0:05:20.800 --> 0:05:22.240 here's what I want to do. Here's how I want 0:05:22.240 --> 0:05:23.159 to review this game. 0:05:23.560 --> 0:05:26.640 I have a full list of players and I'm gonna 0:05:26.640 --> 0:05:27.800 throw out a name and then I. 0:05:27.760 --> 0:05:29.840 Want you guys, just riff what did you see? What 0:05:29.839 --> 0:05:33.080 did you like? What did you not like? And let's 0:05:33.080 --> 0:05:34.560 talk about it. From that standpoint. 0:05:34.720 --> 0:05:37.360 You've already mentioned who I thought was probably the player 0:05:37.400 --> 0:05:39.919 of this game, Duece Vaughan. He had eight carries for 0:05:39.960 --> 0:05:43.680 fifty yards, a six point three average, a touchdown, and 0:05:43.760 --> 0:05:45.960 a couple of highlights that I've seen all over the place. 0:05:46.040 --> 0:05:48.200 I mean, you know, just he was the kind of 0:05:48.680 --> 0:05:50.760 that was a game for him where I think coming 0:05:50.760 --> 0:05:52.719 out of the game as similar to what happened with 0:05:52.760 --> 0:05:55.640 Kevante Turpin last year when he had the return for 0:05:55.720 --> 0:05:56.479 a touchdown. 0:05:56.720 --> 0:06:00.320 I think nationally people start saying, oh wow, that's a 0:06:00.360 --> 0:06:02.560 new toy for the Cowboys. What were your thoughts on 0:06:02.640 --> 0:06:03.160 duce Fon. 0:06:03.480 --> 0:06:06.080 Well, he's going up to make catches in the middle 0:06:06.080 --> 0:06:08.080 of the field, he's running the in between tackles and 0:06:08.160 --> 0:06:09.920 all that stuff. These are the things he's doing as 0:06:09.920 --> 0:06:11.240 a running back. And when I got a chance to 0:06:11.279 --> 0:06:13.680 talk to Will McClay last week, he said, we drafted 0:06:13.680 --> 0:06:15.679 a running back. We didn't just draft his gadget player. 0:06:15.680 --> 0:06:17.520 We drafted a running back. And I think he showed 0:06:17.839 --> 0:06:21.200 that right there. And I think, you know, I was 0:06:21.240 --> 0:06:23.320 talking to some people. They have a decision to make 0:06:23.360 --> 0:06:24.840 on Deuce. What do they want to do with him? 0:06:24.880 --> 0:06:28.000 Do they want to say, all right, this week starter? 0:06:28.560 --> 0:06:30.760 And I say that because it's really still the backups 0:06:30.800 --> 0:06:32.120 and all that. So you start the game and you 0:06:32.160 --> 0:06:34.440 get a chance to get some good run. Or do 0:06:34.480 --> 0:06:37.520 you just say, listen, let's let's feel this thing back 0:06:37.680 --> 0:06:40.640 and let's not let other teams know what we're gonna 0:06:40.640 --> 0:06:42.560 do with him. But he needs to work. It's a 0:06:42.560 --> 0:06:43.919 tough it's always a tough dilemma. 0:06:44.120 --> 0:06:46.800 Yeah, I feel like I'm right there on the line. 0:06:46.800 --> 0:06:49.200 I feel like it's nearly time to bubble wrap him, 0:06:49.200 --> 0:06:51.560 like how we failed for Kvanti Turpin after those two 0:06:51.640 --> 0:06:54.800 kick returns last year. But I feel like, again, like 0:06:54.839 --> 0:06:56.560 you said, Nick, he does need to work. So I 0:06:56.600 --> 0:06:58.800 would get him to work. In preseason game number two 0:06:58.800 --> 0:07:01.800 against the Seahawks and then no matter what happens in 0:07:01.839 --> 0:07:04.920 that game, I'm sitting him for Game three against the 0:07:05.400 --> 0:07:09.800 Las Vegas Raiders. But uh deuce everywhere he did everything. 0:07:10.040 --> 0:07:12.480 He was a receiver out of the backfield, he was 0:07:12.520 --> 0:07:14.640 in single back sets as a running back. But more 0:07:14.640 --> 0:07:17.880 impressive to me, which I should say, what should impress 0:07:18.080 --> 0:07:20.560 people more so than anything, It's something that I've kind 0:07:20.560 --> 0:07:24.040 of been angling toward people, focusing on people want to 0:07:24.080 --> 0:07:25.880 find out who's going to be the short yardage guy 0:07:25.960 --> 0:07:28.480 when Tony Pollard is not on the field. Right, So, yes, 0:07:28.520 --> 0:07:31.200 you have bigger bodies in Ronald Jones, Malie Davis, Rico 0:07:31.200 --> 0:07:33.240 o'dowdle who I have as the front runner for RB 0:07:33.280 --> 0:07:35.880 two at the moment. But Duzvon showed you what he 0:07:35.880 --> 0:07:38.000 can do in the A gap, in the B gap. 0:07:38.040 --> 0:07:40.000 He can get in there, disappear and then he reappears 0:07:40.000 --> 0:07:41.800 at the second level, and then it's him in space 0:07:41.880 --> 0:07:45.040 versus a linebacker, and you saw what happened there. He 0:07:45.080 --> 0:07:47.920 starts collecting ankles like their bottle caps. 0:07:48.080 --> 0:07:49.960 And having them destroy each other each other. 0:07:50.840 --> 0:07:53.680 Now you see me, now you don't. Duvon just a 0:07:53.720 --> 0:07:55.880 fantastic first showing for the Cowboys. 0:07:56.440 --> 0:07:59.760 The screen game too, what I love is kind of 0:08:00.360 --> 0:08:02.760 out of there. And and the guy made a great 0:08:02.800 --> 0:08:05.200 play down by the goal line because he was cutting back. 0:08:05.240 --> 0:08:07.160 I thought he was gonna score on that one so close. 0:08:07.400 --> 0:08:09.760 But that is going to be a problem just sneaking out. 0:08:09.960 --> 0:08:12.240 It reminds me a little bit of I remember Bay 0:08:12.280 --> 0:08:14.440 back in the day with the Eagles with Brian Westbrook, 0:08:14.840 --> 0:08:16.560 is that you can blitz if you want, and you 0:08:16.600 --> 0:08:18.440 want to say, oh, we're gonna attack this little guy 0:08:18.440 --> 0:08:19.800 and see if he can picky. That's fine. But if 0:08:19.840 --> 0:08:22.400 he sneaks out, yeah, and he jumps it over, now 0:08:22.400 --> 0:08:24.760 you got problems. And so it's it's gonna be it's 0:08:24.800 --> 0:08:25.720 gonna be a problem there. 0:08:25.800 --> 0:08:27.680 Yeah, there are a number of ways to handle the blitz. 0:08:27.840 --> 0:08:30.680 Picking up the blitz is one. One another is get 0:08:30.680 --> 0:08:33.240 that guy out and whoever's blitzing now is that guy 0:08:33.360 --> 0:08:35.240 left in a situation where either that other person is 0:08:35.240 --> 0:08:37.600 out there or one on one or nobody accounts for him. 0:08:37.800 --> 0:08:39.760 And those can be some interesting things. But you know, 0:08:39.760 --> 0:08:41.800 one of the interest things about duce Vaughan is this 0:08:41.920 --> 0:08:44.040 was not a surprise for me, and I think for 0:08:44.120 --> 0:08:46.520 a lot of people who watch Big twelve football, this 0:08:46.679 --> 0:08:49.080 was not a surprise. You're actually looking forward to seeing 0:08:49.080 --> 0:08:51.559 it because you were like, rest of the league doesn't 0:08:51.559 --> 0:08:53.240 seem to understand what this guy is. 0:08:53.320 --> 0:08:56.320 Yes, he's five five, but he is a problem. 0:08:55.880 --> 0:08:58.679 The movie on, he keeps hammering that home, trying to 0:08:58.720 --> 0:09:01.760 tell people, like, as a former Longhorn, if Marvey on 0:09:01.840 --> 0:09:04.439 Overshown one of the main people who've said time and again, 0:09:04.720 --> 0:09:06.760 wait until you see what he does at the NFL level. 0:09:07.400 --> 0:09:10.120 So's he's a problem for other teams. For other teams 0:09:10.440 --> 0:09:13.599 I would like to see, particularly in Game two, I 0:09:13.640 --> 0:09:15.320 want to see if they ask him to do more 0:09:15.360 --> 0:09:17.880 pass proeh, especially in those single back sets. I want 0:09:17.880 --> 0:09:19.040 to see if they ask him to do more of 0:09:19.080 --> 0:09:21.280 that so that we could get a better evaluation of 0:09:21.320 --> 0:09:23.480 what his potential is there. But other than that, I mean, 0:09:23.520 --> 0:09:24.200 he stole the show. 0:09:24.559 --> 0:09:27.000 All right, let's move on. Let's talk about my guy, 0:09:27.400 --> 0:09:28.079 my Longhorn. 0:09:28.160 --> 0:09:32.200 You mentioned him, Marvin Overshewn, another guy that I think 0:09:32.280 --> 0:09:34.720 showed up and played some good football. 0:09:34.880 --> 0:09:36.679 Tell me what your thoughts on him are. 0:09:36.760 --> 0:09:39.480 On him after that game, well, I mean I'll start 0:09:39.520 --> 0:09:40.360 other than hook them. 0:09:40.480 --> 0:09:43.920 Yeah, I mean, he looks like he could be a 0:09:43.960 --> 0:09:47.360 safety and it might be that thirty five number, but 0:09:47.480 --> 0:09:50.320 he hits like a linebacker. He hits like even bigger 0:09:50.320 --> 0:09:53.120 than that. I mean, I think I think dan Quinn 0:09:53.160 --> 0:09:55.800 has got a perfect toy here a defense. I mean, 0:09:55.800 --> 0:09:58.760 you're talking about dudes for the offense. Overshown can be 0:09:58.840 --> 0:10:00.720 that guy on defense. He he's just got a great 0:10:00.800 --> 0:10:03.600 vision for him. I thought he was flying around. It 0:10:03.640 --> 0:10:05.760 was fun to watch. He's gonna be He's gonna and 0:10:05.800 --> 0:10:08.040 he's so smart. That's the thing with Douce. These two guys. 0:10:08.240 --> 0:10:10.240 You bring in guys that are play a big, big 0:10:10.280 --> 0:10:13.560 time football. They're versatile and they're very smart, and they're 0:10:13.600 --> 0:10:15.880 capable of picking things up, and that's why I think 0:10:15.880 --> 0:10:17.280 they're gonna be able to contribute early. 0:10:17.640 --> 0:10:20.800 Overshown Is continued to show that he's a ball magnet. 0:10:20.840 --> 0:10:23.360 He was a ball manet ball magnet. I'm sorry with 0:10:23.440 --> 0:10:25.360 Texas and he's showing that he's going to be a 0:10:25.360 --> 0:10:28.040 ball magnet with the Cowboys. He was flying around. I 0:10:28.080 --> 0:10:30.080 asked him after the game, I said, hey, you know, 0:10:30.760 --> 0:10:33.959 positionally you're listed as a linebacker. You're a convert from safety. 0:10:34.240 --> 0:10:36.400 Do you actually have a position? And his answer was 0:10:36.679 --> 0:10:38.640 I My job is to go out there and fly around, 0:10:38.679 --> 0:10:41.240 and that's exactly what he was doing against the Jaguars. 0:10:41.280 --> 0:10:44.280 And his flexibility, his versatility is going to be key, 0:10:44.320 --> 0:10:47.199 and like Nick said, it's a new toy for dan 0:10:47.320 --> 0:10:51.120 Quinn and it's one that's gonna be found that under 0:10:51.120 --> 0:10:54.880 the War's Waldough category, if you're an opposing offensive coordinator, 0:10:54.960 --> 0:10:57.960 you're gonna have to locate Michael Parsons because of the versatility, 0:10:57.960 --> 0:10:59.920 You're gonna have to locate guys like the Marion over 0:11:00.040 --> 0:11:02.240 showing he's on the field. Is he dropping back in coverage, 0:11:02.280 --> 0:11:04.679 is he coming forward? Is he playing sideline and sideline? 0:11:04.800 --> 0:11:07.320 He can do it all, And I love what Nick said. 0:11:08.160 --> 0:11:11.120 The fact is this kid punches above his weight class. 0:11:11.440 --> 0:11:14.280 So there were some concerns from some Cowboys fans saying, 0:11:14.280 --> 0:11:16.200 well what about his weight coming out of Texas? He 0:11:16.440 --> 0:11:19.560 hits above his weight class. He another guy who stole 0:11:19.600 --> 0:11:20.199 the show along with. 0:11:20.120 --> 0:11:21.920 You know who. He sort of reminds me of it 0:11:22.000 --> 0:11:25.800 and not not you know in the head space I'm 0:11:25.840 --> 0:11:28.400 talking about just not personality wise, I'm talking about player. 0:11:28.920 --> 0:11:31.720 He's got some Rolando McClain to him. In the fact 0:11:31.800 --> 0:11:35.600 that you're qualified yeah, a. 0:11:35.559 --> 0:11:38.800 Little different, yea, not even a little bit. 0:11:39.080 --> 0:11:43.080 Randomclean did not hit the way his body looked like 0:11:43.120 --> 0:11:45.400 he would hit, you know what I mean, he just didn't. 0:11:45.640 --> 0:11:47.360 And that's why you got to be a little little 0:11:47.400 --> 0:11:50.559 crazy to do that. You know, Well, you over over shown, 0:11:50.679 --> 0:11:53.480 I not want to say Overstreet over shown has got 0:11:53.520 --> 0:11:54.120 some of that. 0:11:54.240 --> 0:11:57.120 And you you mentioned that, but that the play that 0:11:57.160 --> 0:11:59.439 I think one of the plays at least that that 0:11:59.600 --> 0:12:02.440 we saw from over shown on that third and short 0:12:02.559 --> 0:12:05.720 where he basically the running backs running full speed and 0:12:05.840 --> 0:12:09.640 he basically grabs him and just kind of just just 0:12:09.880 --> 0:12:13.080 there the collision and overshown doesn't move at all. He 0:12:13.120 --> 0:12:15.560 gives no ground. That's what leads to the fourth down. 0:12:15.880 --> 0:12:17.920 That's like Landa McClain. We used to always talk about 0:12:17.920 --> 0:12:20.280 it when Alana mcclaan would hit someone. They go down, 0:12:20.480 --> 0:12:23.920 there was no extra yard, They didn't fall forward. Where 0:12:23.920 --> 0:12:25.720 they were was where they were going down. And I 0:12:25.760 --> 0:12:27.920 think that's an interesting the interesting comparison. 0:12:27.920 --> 0:12:30.160 I you didn't need binoculars in the press box to 0:12:30.280 --> 0:12:32.600 say who hit him? Like you just knew okay, the 0:12:32.640 --> 0:12:34.880 way that it just it ended right there. There was 0:12:34.960 --> 0:12:40.160 no rack or going on there, you know, hopeing not Yeah, well, 0:12:40.200 --> 0:12:42.719 I mean run after you know, contact or whatever you 0:12:42.800 --> 0:12:43.360 want to call it. 0:12:43.400 --> 0:12:43.600 There. 0:12:44.600 --> 0:12:47.319 All right, let's walk about ball magnets and rack, I mean. 0:12:48.840 --> 0:12:50.880 Get Amber off the show and it just goes crazy 0:12:50.960 --> 0:12:52.640 right as. 0:12:54.160 --> 0:12:56.560 She has her moments. Let's go ahead and we're gonna 0:12:56.559 --> 0:12:58.320 take our first break. When we come back, I have 0:12:58.360 --> 0:13:00.280 a couple other guys and several other guys we're going 0:13:00.320 --> 0:13:01.280 to talk to. Do We need to talk about the 0:13:01.320 --> 0:13:03.400 quarterback Will Greer. He spent a lot of time on 0:13:03.400 --> 0:13:05.400 the field. We'll talk about how well he performed when 0:13:05.400 --> 0:13:07.080 we come back.

So interesting, intriguing story to say the. 0:16:01.440 --> 0:16:06.520 Our security guy, mister Wansley, is involved in this documentary 0:16:06.520 --> 0:16:08.760 and kind of told us the story and told us 0:16:08.800 --> 0:16:10.440 his story, so it's a part of that as well, 0:16:10.480 --> 0:16:13.640 but really really cool story.

All right, let's get back into 0:16:27.960 --> 0:16:30.000 this the recap of the game. 0:16:30.160 --> 0:16:31.600 Let's talk about the quarterback, Will Greer. 0:16:32.680 --> 0:16:36.800 He was twenty two of thirty one seventy completion rate. 0:16:37.280 --> 0:16:40.160 That's a very good completion rate, one hundred and ninety 0:16:40.240 --> 0:16:44.040 nine yards, two touchdowns, one interception. I got the sense 0:16:44.400 --> 0:16:48.320 watching the game and throughout the game that when I 0:16:48.360 --> 0:16:50.880 saw the numbers after the game, I thought the numbers 0:16:50.920 --> 0:16:52.840 were better than what I watched. 0:16:52.960 --> 0:16:55.080 Sod you guys get the same because. 0:16:54.880 --> 0:16:56.960 There's yeah, and there's one reason for that. Send me 0:16:57.040 --> 0:16:59.880 for Hoko. How many times did he snap the ball 0:16:59.880 --> 0:17:02.240 and throw it straight to Fojoko? Give him credit for that. 0:17:02.240 --> 0:17:04.320 That's fine, that's recognizing corners. We want to play ten 0:17:04.400 --> 0:17:06.040 yards off, that's fine. I'm gonna throw it to the foco. 0:17:06.040 --> 0:17:08.359 We're gonna get five or six, seven yards whatever, not nine. 0:17:08.400 --> 0:17:11.639 Sometimes that's gonna help your completion percentage. You're right, I 0:17:11.640 --> 0:17:13.760 think I think his numbers looked better. There were some 0:17:13.880 --> 0:17:16.200 times it was okay, it was good and bad. He 0:17:16.280 --> 0:17:19.199 got a lot of reps and he's more you know, 0:17:19.800 --> 0:17:22.199 mobile obviously than Cooper Rush. So but I thought he 0:17:22.240 --> 0:17:25.440 played okay. But yeah, I agree, the numbers look better 0:17:25.480 --> 0:17:27.520 than the eye test didn't wasn't. 0:17:27.280 --> 0:17:29.840 There And when you go back and look at the 0:17:29.840 --> 0:17:32.280 film on will Grid from that game, it was solid, 0:17:32.280 --> 0:17:34.399 but he could have been better. And he come up 0:17:34.400 --> 0:17:36.560 here and admit the same thing. That interception on first 0:17:36.560 --> 0:17:39.160 and ten uh in the fourth quarter. That can't happen. 0:17:39.200 --> 0:17:42.600 He wants that playback, the throw to Sean McEwan out 0:17:42.640 --> 0:17:44.880 to the left flat. He wants that throwback to throw 0:17:44.920 --> 0:17:46.840 the Jalen Brooks out to the right flat. He wants 0:17:46.880 --> 0:17:49.560 that throwback. But then semi Fojoko, So give him credit 0:17:49.560 --> 0:17:52.679 for making the completions. But two consecutives Semifo Hoko, and 0:17:52.720 --> 0:17:54.560 I think it was on that drive. He had three 0:17:54.640 --> 0:17:57.480 consecutive the Dennis Houston who made some play, so those 0:17:57.480 --> 0:17:59.679 are that's five. So those are five completions. Give him 0:17:59.680 --> 0:18:03.520 credit for that. But as far as statistics versus gameplay, 0:18:03.800 --> 0:18:05.719 it makes the statistics look a little bit better than 0:18:05.720 --> 0:18:09.560 maybe the gameplay was so really solid game from Will Grier, 0:18:10.040 --> 0:18:13.720 but he does need to stop trying to make the 0:18:13.720 --> 0:18:15.440 big play where the big play is not there. And 0:18:15.480 --> 0:18:18.200 I think he'll have a better showing against the Seahawks 0:18:18.200 --> 0:18:19.320 if he takes that the heart. 0:18:19.359 --> 0:18:21.800 All right, let's move on to Damone Clark, the other 0:18:21.840 --> 0:18:22.960 linebacker in this game. 0:18:23.000 --> 0:18:24.720 What were your thoughts on him? 0:18:25.200 --> 0:18:28.200 I can't. I don't have enough praise for what I'm 0:18:28.200 --> 0:18:32.119 seeing Fordmond Clark. I've been as timing again this offseason. 0:18:32.800 --> 0:18:35.560 What defensive guy do I think makes the huge leap 0:18:35.560 --> 0:18:37.479 in year two, and you could go to Sam Williams 0:18:37.560 --> 0:18:39.399 and he played well as well, but Damon Clark is 0:18:39.480 --> 0:18:42.160 just primed to do so, especially now that he's taking 0:18:42.200 --> 0:18:45.760 on that starter row alongside Laton Vanderish. Damon Clark had 0:18:45.840 --> 0:18:48.479 a strong game, to say the least, his name. It 0:18:48.520 --> 0:18:50.880 was being called all over the place in the first quarter, 0:18:51.000 --> 0:18:52.959 first half of the game before we started kind of 0:18:52.960 --> 0:18:55.320 migrating to Hey, the Marion overshown has taken over this 0:18:55.400 --> 0:18:58.600 game as well, So Damon Clark de Marrion overshown. Those 0:18:58.600 --> 0:19:02.320 two linebackers are showing the cow Boy's depth problem at 0:19:02.320 --> 0:19:04.280 linebacker might not be one at all. 0:19:04.440 --> 0:19:07.520 So yeah, yeah, he's got so much range, you know it. 0:19:07.680 --> 0:19:11.479 Look he looked thinner to me. He looked or leaner 0:19:11.600 --> 0:19:14.359 maybe is the right word. He just I'm not saying 0:19:14.400 --> 0:19:17.280 he was, you know, overweight or anything last year, but bulky. 0:19:17.320 --> 0:19:18.840 But if you're gonna if you're gonna be out with 0:19:18.840 --> 0:19:20.719 an injury for a while, espreshly at neck injury, you're 0:19:20.720 --> 0:19:22.160 gonna be out for a while. You come back, you're 0:19:22.200 --> 0:19:24.000 not gonna be in the same shape you are. Now 0:19:24.200 --> 0:19:26.480 he's been he's been really like he just he just 0:19:26.600 --> 0:19:29.960 looks more like a safety like it. I know I 0:19:30.000 --> 0:19:32.520 said that about Overshowing, but that's what they look. But 0:19:32.600 --> 0:19:35.520 he's got that speed, he's strong as an ox, and 0:19:36.119 --> 0:19:39.040 I love his mentality. His mentality, it's just no nonsense, 0:19:39.119 --> 0:19:41.840 ready to ball out. He's He's done that since the 0:19:41.920 --> 0:19:45.280 day he got here. I mean, this defense has wild 0:19:45.280 --> 0:19:48.080 cards to me, Like, you know who the stars are. 0:19:48.400 --> 0:19:50.800 But if these four or five guys, and I think 0:19:50.800 --> 0:19:53.439 Bland is one, I think I think over shown as 0:19:53.480 --> 0:19:56.520 one demo Clark, I think Fowler and Sam what these 0:19:56.560 --> 0:19:59.520 guys also give you stuff with? You know what you're 0:19:59.520 --> 0:20:01.919 gonna get over? Man, this could be really nasty. 0:20:01.960 --> 0:20:04.600 When you see a guy who's as who has the 0:20:04.640 --> 0:20:07.359 frame of Damon Clark, who's as chiseled as Damon Clark, 0:20:07.920 --> 0:20:11.359 nearly run down a running back from the backside who's 0:20:11.400 --> 0:20:13.280 going to the left of the play, and Damon is 0:20:13.320 --> 0:20:15.000 coming in from the right side of the play. That's 0:20:15.040 --> 0:20:17.320 really all you need to see to understand what the 0:20:17.400 --> 0:20:20.080 moon Clark might be In twenty twenty three. Yeah, it was. 0:20:20.080 --> 0:20:22.240 Interesting after that game as I was thinking about it. 0:20:22.480 --> 0:20:24.760 Between those two, the one thing I think that we 0:20:24.840 --> 0:20:27.920 all saw was the speed, their ability to get sideline 0:20:27.960 --> 0:20:30.760 the sideline to make plays. And again over shown that's 0:20:30.760 --> 0:20:32.280 who he was in college. He was a guy who 0:20:32.320 --> 0:20:34.840 was always around the ball. Every play almost you'd see 0:20:35.000 --> 0:20:37.160 overshown was around the ball, whether it was downfield, whether 0:20:37.160 --> 0:20:38.639 it's up near the line of scrimma. He was just 0:20:38.640 --> 0:20:40.080 a guy that has a knackt for the ball and 0:20:40.200 --> 0:20:42.800 was around the ball. But you see those two guys running, 0:20:43.000 --> 0:20:45.760 and I think it makes it even more imperative that 0:20:45.800 --> 0:20:48.080 a guy like Mazzie Smith get in here and get 0:20:48.119 --> 0:20:51.119 his feet under him, because if those guys up front 0:20:51.440 --> 0:20:55.320 can keep bodies off these linebackers, these linebackers can definitely 0:20:55.400 --> 0:20:55.920 run and they. 0:20:55.800 --> 0:21:00.360 Can create some problems for a post to bank exactly right. 0:21:00.400 --> 0:21:03.000 All right, let's move on. Let's talk about Brandon. 0:21:02.600 --> 0:21:05.280 Aubrey, which I thought was an interesting day for him. 0:21:05.960 --> 0:21:08.720 He made the one field goal he had was twenty 0:21:08.840 --> 0:21:11.160 nine yards. He was two or three on extra points. 0:21:11.160 --> 0:21:13.280 He did miss one of his extra points. We had 0:21:13.280 --> 0:21:16.000 five touchbacks, which, again, when you're kicking off, that's a 0:21:16.000 --> 0:21:16.400 good thing. 0:21:16.600 --> 0:21:17.919 What were your thoughts on on Auburn. 0:21:19.520 --> 0:21:22.280 The power in his leg is there, It's evident. I mean, 0:21:22.359 --> 0:21:26.359 he's absolutely just kicking sticks of dynamite on kickoff. So 0:21:26.760 --> 0:21:29.240 you know, when you talk about who is going to 0:21:29.320 --> 0:21:31.720 be the kicker for the Dallas Cowboys in twenty twenty three, 0:21:31.840 --> 0:21:33.520 like you said, you got a factor in the kickoff 0:21:33.680 --> 0:21:35.359 as well, because if you talk about a guy like 0:21:35.440 --> 0:21:38.600 Robbie Good, now, the question is will he be able 0:21:38.680 --> 0:21:40.640 to do kickoffs and things like that. So he's got 0:21:40.640 --> 0:21:43.000 that in the bag. Alby does as far as kickoffs 0:21:43.000 --> 0:21:46.720 are concerned, kicking he had. He was having a good 0:21:46.760 --> 0:21:49.760 game until he missed the extra point and then comes 0:21:49.800 --> 0:21:53.520 the PTSD for all involved because we're like, oh my god, 0:21:53.560 --> 0:21:57.080 Brett Maher, we've been through this before. Now. Aubrey was 0:21:57.080 --> 0:21:59.240 asked about it after the game and he said that 0:21:59.280 --> 0:22:01.440 the operation was clean and it did look clean on film, 0:22:01.480 --> 0:22:04.320 but he admitted that he quote unquote rushed it and 0:22:04.359 --> 0:22:06.840 he didn't have to do that. So hopefully he settles 0:22:06.880 --> 0:22:10.639 in for game two. But all in all, it's a 0:22:10.680 --> 0:22:13.360 passing grade. You just hate that an extra point kind 0:22:13.359 --> 0:22:14.280 of put a black eye on. 0:22:14.240 --> 0:22:16.720 It because it was a bad miss. Yeah, just like 0:22:16.800 --> 0:22:19.840 oh did he No? It wasn't end Dan, Like, no, 0:22:20.000 --> 0:22:21.919 I think I don't think he I don't think he 0:22:22.040 --> 0:22:24.119 connected with the net there. You know, I think it's 0:22:24.119 --> 0:22:27.240 a souvenirio. What happened at the stadium. I mean, that's 0:22:27.280 --> 0:22:28.880 just that's bad as I mean, it's a bad miss. 0:22:28.880 --> 0:22:31.640 But you gotta remember, I mean, this is a huge 0:22:31.720 --> 0:22:34.280 chance that they're taking on him because he did not 0:22:34.359 --> 0:22:37.280 even play college football. He didn't kick, you know, at 0:22:37.400 --> 0:22:39.399 the big House in Michigan, or that he didn't do that. 0:22:39.440 --> 0:22:42.159 He's kicked at the USFL, which I don't think is 0:22:42.280 --> 0:22:45.040 setting attendance records either. So I mean, I know some 0:22:45.040 --> 0:22:48.400 some teams are some teams over there decent crowds. This 0:22:48.440 --> 0:22:50.880 is this is still new to him. So I think 0:22:50.920 --> 0:22:53.119 it's you know, he's competing with every kicker that's not 0:22:53.200 --> 0:22:54.320 doesn't have a job right now. 0:22:54.400 --> 0:22:57.040 Absolutely fact, did you guys come out of that game 0:22:58.720 --> 0:23:02.600 sold that he more soul, more confident, that he could 0:23:02.640 --> 0:23:05.040 be the kicker less confident or about. 0:23:04.760 --> 0:23:06.920 The less confident for me, less confident. 0:23:07.040 --> 0:23:10.119 I gotta my needle hasn't moved in one direction or 0:23:10.119 --> 0:23:12.600 the other. Because it started to nudge forward just a 0:23:12.600 --> 0:23:14.560 little bit, and then he missed the extra point and 0:23:14.560 --> 0:23:17.879 they dropped right back down. So I'm still where I 0:23:18.040 --> 0:23:20.240 was before the game, and we're looking at game too now. 0:23:21.160 --> 0:23:24.000 I think the standard has gotten really low though, because 0:23:24.000 --> 0:23:26.679 we're you know, like the touchdown Tolbert like great, and 0:23:26.640 --> 0:23:29.800 then it's like it made the expert. We're all like, 0:23:30.080 --> 0:23:32.280 we're watching extra points. I mean, how about a fifty 0:23:32.280 --> 0:23:34.840 one yard field goal, you know in Seattle with with 0:23:34.960 --> 0:23:37.000 you know, against the win or maybe in a little 0:23:37.040 --> 0:23:39.359 bit of rate and hopefully not rained, but you know, 0:23:40.160 --> 0:23:42.640 but something like that in some elements. Let's see, let's 0:23:42.640 --> 0:23:44.520 see something like that, because right now, extra points and 0:23:44.560 --> 0:23:48.320 twenty five yard field goals, I think that's that should 0:23:48.400 --> 0:23:49.960 that shouldn't be the standard, you know what I mean. 0:23:50.000 --> 0:23:53.679 So I didn't. I'm just a little shaky on him still, 0:23:53.800 --> 0:23:56.439 but he seems like it'd be great for the practice squad. 0:23:56.960 --> 0:23:58.640 But that doesn't help you on kickoffs. 0:23:59.480 --> 0:24:01.120 I meant at the end of the day, I do 0:24:01.160 --> 0:24:03.560 think we talked about this last week, like it's it's 0:24:03.600 --> 0:24:04.600 going to change. 0:24:04.640 --> 0:24:07.400 In my opinion, it's going to change how they play offense. 0:24:08.000 --> 0:24:11.280 Last year, I think they would get within a fifty 0:24:11.280 --> 0:24:14.720 to fifty two yard and they would think, Okay, yeah, 0:24:14.800 --> 0:24:16.600 we got it, we got the field goal, we're in 0:24:16.640 --> 0:24:18.840 field goal range. I don't think that's the way you 0:24:18.880 --> 0:24:21.200 play it this year. I think you're gonna be thinking, hey, 0:24:21.240 --> 0:24:24.800 we really are never necessarily just we're settling for a 0:24:24.800 --> 0:24:25.320 field goal. 0:24:25.440 --> 0:24:28.400 It's always you know, foot on the gas. 0:24:28.200 --> 0:24:29.840 Let's go and let's see if we can get in 0:24:29.840 --> 0:24:32.160 the end zone, because you just don't know. I think 0:24:32.160 --> 0:24:34.159 it's a it's I don't I wouldn't call it a crapshoot. 0:24:34.280 --> 0:24:36.520 I think he's better than that. But I do think 0:24:36.600 --> 0:24:39.679 there's always that question mark until he earns that credibility 0:24:39.720 --> 0:24:42.160 where you know he's money. We put him out there 0:24:42.160 --> 0:24:43.840 on forty five yard he's gonna make We put him 0:24:43.840 --> 0:24:45.600 out there on fifty yard, he's gonna make it. Until 0:24:45.640 --> 0:24:47.160 you get to that point, it's gonna have to change 0:24:47.160 --> 0:24:47.560 the office. 0:24:47.600 --> 0:24:50.280 I would I would take a Crosby or Robbie Gold. 0:24:50.359 --> 0:24:52.200 I would take a guy that's older that I think 0:24:52.320 --> 0:24:54.800 is gonna make him in the forties forty five because 0:24:54.800 --> 0:24:57.080 I've got Michael Parsons. And I say that because I 0:24:57.080 --> 0:24:58.920 don't have to kick a fifty five yarder every time. 0:24:58.960 --> 0:25:01.040 If I'm at the thirty five and it's fourth and 0:25:01.200 --> 0:25:04.480 six or whatever, I'm okay with anger punting it to 0:25:04.520 --> 0:25:06.960 the eight first intent and then let them play the 0:25:06.960 --> 0:25:07.720 way they want to play. 0:25:07.720 --> 0:25:09.960 When you know that might get your turnover more you 0:25:10.000 --> 0:25:10.960 might get a turnover. 0:25:10.720 --> 0:25:12.480 Or you're probably gonna be punning it back to turping 0:25:12.520 --> 0:25:16.119 here at midfield in about three minutes. So I go 0:25:16.200 --> 0:25:18.240 shorter field goals. I'm fine. I don't need to be 0:25:18.320 --> 0:25:19.800 kicking a lot of mainfield goals because I got a 0:25:19.800 --> 0:25:20.720 defense I trust. 0:25:20.840 --> 0:25:22.679 But Derek, we talked about this on the show a 0:25:22.680 --> 0:25:25.080 few episodes ago, and you know, one of my biggest 0:25:25.119 --> 0:25:27.320 things is kick the crutch from under the offense. Kick 0:25:27.359 --> 0:25:29.439 the crutch away, and the crutch being if you know 0:25:29.480 --> 0:25:31.080 you got a guy who can boom a sixty yard 0:25:31.119 --> 0:25:33.320 field goal, then at the beginning of that drive, you 0:25:33.680 --> 0:25:35.480 have that in your back pocket. If you take that 0:25:35.480 --> 0:25:37.960 out of your back pocket, it's likely going to change 0:25:37.960 --> 0:25:40.760 the entirety of how you call that drive. Now you're 0:25:40.800 --> 0:25:42.520 going to be more aggressive. Now you're trying to get 0:25:42.560 --> 0:25:44.919 across the fifty. You're trying to stretch the field. So 0:25:45.200 --> 0:25:47.199 I'm all for that. If you have a kicker that 0:25:47.240 --> 0:25:50.280 can be efficient up to forty five fifty yards but 0:25:50.400 --> 0:25:52.960 not longer than that. Totally fine, So bring me a 0:25:53.000 --> 0:25:54.040 Mason Crossby. 0:25:53.720 --> 0:25:55.480 Until you get to an end of a game where 0:25:55.520 --> 0:25:58.360 you need that fifty to go to overtime. 0:25:58.920 --> 0:26:00.760 Yeah, that's when it right. 0:26:00.760 --> 0:26:02.480 Here's're gonna do. We're gonna take our final break. We'll 0:26:02.480 --> 0:26:02.800 come back. 0:26:02.800 --> 0:26:05.960 I got some names like Jaln Tolbert, Marquise Bell, Cavante 0:26:06.000 --> 0:26:07.359 Turpe that we have to talk about as well. We 0:26:07.440 --> 0:26:09.280 do that want come back, Dallas Cowboys dot com. 0:26:09.240 --> 0:26:12.879 Redeal Todd thought it would be secure to jog in 0:26:12.880 --> 0:26:15.679 the Cheatah Savannah.

Yeah, is what we're doing. 0:28:56.240 --> 0:28:58.080 All right, let's jump back in. We got more names 0:28:58.080 --> 0:28:58.760 I want to throw to you. 0:28:58.760 --> 0:28:59.040 Guys. 0:28:59.040 --> 0:29:02.520 Coming off the Cowboys first preseason game, talk to me 0:29:02.560 --> 0:29:03.400 about Jaalen Tobert. 0:29:03.400 --> 0:29:05.160 What were your thoughts. Two catches, twenty nine yards on 0:29:05.200 --> 0:29:05.680 a touchdown. 0:29:05.960 --> 0:29:09.160 I thought a bad call from the offensive pass interference. 0:29:09.440 --> 0:29:11.200 I love the fact that he went and got the football. 0:29:11.200 --> 0:29:12.880 That's the one I like, the one that didn't even count. 0:29:12.920 --> 0:29:15.040 He went and got the ball, go back. I mean, 0:29:15.040 --> 0:29:17.760 that's most crews aren't gonna call that. I think I 0:29:17.760 --> 0:29:20.160 thought that was really ticky Tag. That's the player I 0:29:20.240 --> 0:29:22.360 like the most because I think it showed the aggressive 0:29:22.560 --> 0:29:26.720 stallies of alert catching tipped passes, smooth, he looks. You know, 0:29:26.920 --> 0:29:29.280 we've been saying it all year. Stop stop talking. You're 0:29:29.320 --> 0:29:31.320 saying all the right things, but nothing matters until you 0:29:31.360 --> 0:29:31.720 go play. 0:29:31.760 --> 0:29:33.400 And he did a good job, kind of kind of 0:29:33.440 --> 0:29:36.160 the opposite of to a degree, what we're talking about 0:29:36.160 --> 0:29:38.120 with Will Gear the stats look good. 0:29:38.320 --> 0:29:39.480 Yeah, but the film, I'm with you. 0:29:39.520 --> 0:29:41.720 When it comes to Jaylen Tobert. The stats from last 0:29:41.760 --> 0:29:44.480 game aren't good. But if you watch the game, he 0:29:44.640 --> 0:29:47.239 was good. And of course if you can factor in 0:29:47.400 --> 0:29:48.840 if you would have been able to factor in the 0:29:49.240 --> 0:29:51.240 catch from that turn into OPI, which it was not 0:29:51.360 --> 0:29:54.440 OPI because the guy was already beat, and then there 0:29:54.480 --> 0:29:56.920 was the jersey pull after. So but that's long story. 0:29:57.400 --> 0:29:58.920 Go on Twitter and you'll see my rent on that. 0:29:59.400 --> 0:30:02.520 But that catch showed you everything you needed to know 0:30:02.600 --> 0:30:05.920 about where Jaylen Tobert is in his development. The fact 0:30:05.960 --> 0:30:08.880 that the release was fantastic. He had the guy beat 0:30:08.920 --> 0:30:10.880 on the release. The speed was there on the go 0:30:11.040 --> 0:30:14.440 route and then to turn around, elevate, locate the ball, 0:30:14.480 --> 0:30:16.800 come down with it and get both feed and bounds. 0:30:16.840 --> 0:30:20.760 That sideline awareness. That's what the Cowboys drafted Jayleen Tobert 0:30:20.760 --> 0:30:23.000 to be and it shows. And then I also liked 0:30:23.000 --> 0:30:25.200 that on the touchdown play. You gotta love the kids 0:30:25.200 --> 0:30:27.320 first touchdown on the Cowboys uniform, but if you go 0:30:27.360 --> 0:30:29.400 back and look at their route. First of all, fantastic 0:30:29.480 --> 0:30:32.160 play called by Mike McCarthy. But when you look at 0:30:32.160 --> 0:30:35.320 that route, it was so crisp and clean and so 0:30:35.440 --> 0:30:38.360 deceptive from Jaalen Tobert to pretend that he's sitting and 0:30:38.400 --> 0:30:41.400 sell it so well that the linebacker sat with him. 0:30:41.480 --> 0:30:44.200 But then it was hah, I gotcha. I'm gone middle 0:30:44.200 --> 0:30:46.760 of the field to catch touchdown. There you go. So 0:30:46.800 --> 0:30:48.960 I love what I saw from Jaalen Tobert. He's another 0:30:49.000 --> 0:30:50.960 guy who's been out here doing it in camp. Like 0:30:51.080 --> 0:30:53.760 Nick said, we hear you, we see you. Where's it 0:30:53.760 --> 0:30:55.400 that when it's time for the bright lights to come on? 0:30:55.720 --> 0:30:58.320 Bright lights came on at least semi bright lights came 0:30:58.360 --> 0:30:59.720 on last Saturday, and he showed up. 0:31:00.120 --> 0:31:01.640 He's been a name that I think most of you 0:31:01.640 --> 0:31:03.720 guys who've been watching these practices and reporting on these 0:31:03.720 --> 0:31:06.440 practices have been noticing he looks like an. 0:31:06.320 --> 0:31:08.600 Improved player over where he was last year. 0:31:08.760 --> 0:31:11.080 He's talked about that, like you said, Nick, Now he's 0:31:11.080 --> 0:31:13.080 trying to show it what he's been talking about. 0:31:13.120 --> 0:31:14.520 Let's talk about Cavante Turpin. 0:31:14.640 --> 0:31:19.400 He had one catch fifteen yards turned fumble. Is he 0:31:20.000 --> 0:31:22.520 is there any chance that he is not your punt 0:31:22.560 --> 0:31:24.920 returner when the season gets here. I know there have 0:31:24.920 --> 0:31:27.320 been people who have started to talk about duce Von like. 0:31:27.320 --> 0:31:29.840 Hey man, you know you got Ducevan. Maybe he should 0:31:29.880 --> 0:31:30.880 be the guy that's back there. 0:31:31.400 --> 0:31:34.080 I have a hard time believing that Camante Turpin, just 0:31:34.360 --> 0:31:36.680 from his skill level, is not the guy. But do 0:31:36.760 --> 0:31:38.680 you think there's even a chance that that could happen. 0:31:39.680 --> 0:31:43.280 There's always a chance. I think he's still a dangerous 0:31:43.280 --> 0:31:45.080 threat with the ball in his hands. Now he's gonna 0:31:45.120 --> 0:31:46.960 have to get away from people because I mean he can't. 0:31:46.960 --> 0:31:49.280 He will fumble, I mean, or he has and he's 0:31:49.280 --> 0:31:51.320 had some other place to last year too. You remember 0:31:51.360 --> 0:31:53.160 either the ball hit him in the face mask, I 0:31:53.160 --> 0:31:58.000 mean the ball control was an issue at times. I 0:31:58.040 --> 0:32:00.480 thought from what it sounds like, he didn't. He didn't 0:32:00.520 --> 0:32:04.640 have a great game at all. I mean, uh in Saturday, 0:32:04.680 --> 0:32:07.880 because he had some also some some mental errors lining 0:32:07.960 --> 0:32:12.840 up wrong receiver wise. So grades Tolburt and Houston grated out, Well, 0:32:13.520 --> 0:32:16.320 it doesn't sound like Turpin did so that that was 0:32:16.400 --> 0:32:18.120 kind of an issue there because we were trying to 0:32:18.120 --> 0:32:20.760 see what he did at receiver and so you know 0:32:21.040 --> 0:32:22.719 he's like, oh, we know he's a good returner. Well 0:32:22.720 --> 0:32:25.000 then he fumbles there, he drops a receiver and also 0:32:25.040 --> 0:32:28.120 had some mental error. So he needs to he'll he'll 0:32:28.120 --> 0:32:29.760 need to step it up here in Seattle. But hey, 0:32:29.920 --> 0:32:32.400 I'll be on the sidelines for the Seattle game. I 0:32:32.480 --> 0:32:34.480 was on the sidelines for the Charger game and I 0:32:34.520 --> 0:32:37.200 saw two touchdowns in a row. So I have a 0:32:37.240 --> 0:32:40.160 feeling I'm gonna get a fiscal Sea. Maybe we'll find out. 0:32:40.440 --> 0:32:42.360 We'll find out. Yeah, I hope that's why. I hope 0:32:42.360 --> 0:32:44.080 it doesn't rain. It rains. I won't be on side. 0:32:44.320 --> 0:32:50.640 Yes, oh yes, you will right eat Seattle. 0:32:50.640 --> 0:32:51.280 Who picked this? 0:32:52.160 --> 0:32:54.720 I mean, I think there's a chance, but I think 0:32:54.760 --> 0:32:58.720 that chance is exceptionally slim right now that there would 0:32:58.760 --> 0:33:01.080 be any other returner for the Boys in twenty twenty 0:33:01.080 --> 0:33:04.760 three whose name is not Cavante Turpin. And you're going 0:33:04.800 --> 0:33:07.320 to see, unfortunately, a mistake here or there. You saw 0:33:07.320 --> 0:33:09.480 it last year in the season, and hopefully this is 0:33:09.560 --> 0:33:11.160 him getting it out of the way. I'm talking about 0:33:11.200 --> 0:33:15.480 the fumble on his first return against Jacksonville. But I'm 0:33:15.560 --> 0:33:17.680 left to wonder when you look at Cavante Turpin in 0:33:17.680 --> 0:33:20.840 that game, I wonder if he was using too much 0:33:20.840 --> 0:33:23.360 of his mental bandwidth on trying to prove what he 0:33:23.400 --> 0:33:26.200 can be offensively, and it kind of stole some of 0:33:26.200 --> 0:33:28.600 that bandwidth as far as just the muscle merimory of 0:33:28.640 --> 0:33:30.640 what he needs to do making plays as the returner. 0:33:31.560 --> 0:33:34.800 But he showed some bad things, the fumble being one, 0:33:34.920 --> 0:33:37.960 the drop key dropped being another. But then he showed 0:33:37.960 --> 0:33:41.800 me some good things on the fumble on Rico Dawdle 0:33:42.520 --> 0:33:45.360 Cavante Turpin. Yes, that didn't go how the Cowboys wanted 0:33:45.400 --> 0:33:48.040 to go, but there's this little tough guy all the 0:33:48.040 --> 0:33:51.240 way downfield still blocking at the two in the one 0:33:51.320 --> 0:33:54.840 yard line. That effort was there. He made an impactful 0:33:54.880 --> 0:33:56.840 catch for a first down in the second half, so 0:33:57.400 --> 0:34:00.880 mentally he bounced back from it. Overall, I agree with Nick. 0:34:00.880 --> 0:34:03.320 I don't think that he graded out well for this game, 0:34:03.520 --> 0:34:05.640 but I did see some resiliency in the second half 0:34:05.640 --> 0:34:09.560 that I'm hoping translates over offensively to the game against 0:34:09.560 --> 0:34:12.440 the Seahawks. But as a returner again, hopefully he just 0:34:12.560 --> 0:34:14.359 that's getting it out the way so we don't see 0:34:14.360 --> 0:34:15.240 it in the regular season. 0:34:15.480 --> 0:34:18.640 This player I've probably been more excited about seeing in 0:34:18.680 --> 0:34:21.520 this preseason game than any other player, just based on 0:34:21.560 --> 0:34:25.480 what I've seen out here in practice and what I didn't. 0:34:24.960 --> 0:34:26.400 Know about him until we got out here. 0:34:26.520 --> 0:34:29.920 Practice John Stevens, he had five catches fifty six yards 0:34:29.920 --> 0:34:32.920 a touchdown twenty one was his longest catch. What his 0:34:33.000 --> 0:34:35.200 thoughts on John Stevens and his ability to. 0:34:35.200 --> 0:34:36.640 Maybe make this team. 0:34:36.719 --> 0:34:39.160 I think you got a tied end whisper going on 0:34:39.320 --> 0:34:40.160 with Lounda Wells. 0:34:40.600 --> 0:34:42.400 He knows how to find him, how to find him. 0:34:42.400 --> 0:34:44.680 I mean he'll tell you last year. I mean he 0:34:44.760 --> 0:34:47.720 told everybody Peyton Hitters shot watch this guy. He's got something. 0:34:47.840 --> 0:34:49.840 He's been saying about John Stevens since the minute that 0:34:49.960 --> 0:34:53.000 they signed him. I mean, he's just tall, lanky guys, 0:34:53.040 --> 0:34:55.480 but also not afraid to mix it up as blockers. 0:34:55.480 --> 0:34:57.000 It's one thing to just getting a tall guy and 0:34:57.040 --> 0:34:59.000 call him a tight end, but you got to be 0:34:59.040 --> 0:35:00.640 able to get in the trenches. And I think John 0:35:00.640 --> 0:35:02.959 Stevens did that that he also did the other things 0:35:02.960 --> 0:35:04.280 that he's been doing on a camp. 0:35:04.560 --> 0:35:06.719 Correct and on top of that, this is one of 0:35:06.800 --> 0:35:10.320 those situations where the stats do actually mirror what happened 0:35:10.360 --> 0:35:13.239 in the game. Targeted seven times, brought it down five times, 0:35:13.280 --> 0:35:15.439 fifty six yards and a touchdown later in the game. 0:35:15.800 --> 0:35:18.560 That implies that that player had a good game. Go 0:35:18.640 --> 0:35:20.319 back and look at the film, and that player did 0:35:20.320 --> 0:35:22.279 in fact have a good game in John Stevens. And 0:35:22.360 --> 0:35:24.759 you also saw some of the things translate from camp 0:35:24.760 --> 0:35:27.319 practices as far as John Stevens lining up on the 0:35:27.360 --> 0:35:29.560 outside as well. And when he lined up on the 0:35:29.560 --> 0:35:32.880 outside in one particular play that Jaalen Tobert touchdown, the 0:35:33.080 --> 0:35:35.359 safety and the defensive back the cornerback on that side 0:35:35.360 --> 0:35:37.680 of the field, they both had to respect his ability 0:35:37.920 --> 0:35:40.520 and his size, and that helped clear out the middle 0:35:40.560 --> 0:35:44.040 for Jayleen Tobert. So John Stevens lunda, Wells, Mike McCarthy, 0:35:44.040 --> 0:35:46.120 Will McLay, You've done it again, and it is going 0:35:46.160 --> 0:35:48.400 to make for a very interesting conversation as far as 0:35:48.400 --> 0:35:52.120 fifty three man cutdowns go. If John Stevens continues this trajectory. 0:35:51.719 --> 0:35:53.680 Talk to me about the first round pick, Bozzie Smith. 0:35:53.680 --> 0:35:54.400 What'd you see? 0:35:56.000 --> 0:36:00.759 Honestly, not not a ton. I mean that's maybe because 0:36:00.800 --> 0:36:03.279 I forgot my binoculars, but I mean, you know what 0:36:03.360 --> 0:36:04.920 I mean, was a big boy. 0:36:04.960 --> 0:36:07.160 You didn't need binocular Well, no, I don't. 0:36:07.440 --> 0:36:09.680 I don't know. Did he make a ton of plays? 0:36:09.840 --> 0:36:11.040 I didn't. I didn't really see him. 0:36:11.200 --> 0:36:14.399 So from from what I saw, the reason that his 0:36:14.480 --> 0:36:17.759 name wasn't called often as far as making plays was 0:36:18.080 --> 0:36:19.960 went back and looked at the film yesterday and there 0:36:19.960 --> 0:36:23.359 were several occasions where the Jaguars threw double and on 0:36:23.360 --> 0:36:25.719 one occasion a triple team at him before the third 0:36:25.760 --> 0:36:29.480 got peeled off for another assignment. So the immediate respect 0:36:29.680 --> 0:36:31.560 looks like it's being paid to Mossie Smith and his 0:36:31.600 --> 0:36:33.480 strength and what he can do. And then when they 0:36:33.520 --> 0:36:38.880 didn't double team him, he absolutely humiliated someone's father, brother, 0:36:39.239 --> 0:36:42.080 uncle by just shedding him, just throwing him to the 0:36:42.080 --> 0:36:45.040 ground and then getting there for Yeah, it could have 0:36:45.080 --> 0:36:47.160 been a TfL but probably was a stop at the 0:36:47.160 --> 0:36:49.520 line of scrimmage on a run to the left side. 0:36:49.600 --> 0:36:52.799 So it looked as if when Mazie isn't getting that, 0:36:53.000 --> 0:36:54.880 isn't being forced to eat up double teams, which is 0:36:54.960 --> 0:36:57.839 one reason that he's here. And if it's one on 0:36:57.840 --> 0:36:59.920 one he won more often than not. But then the 0:37:00.080 --> 0:37:02.919 double team guess what his teammates were able to win. 0:37:03.200 --> 0:37:05.759 Chauncey Goosten was able to win, Osa was able to win, 0:37:05.880 --> 0:37:09.640 So from an overall grade, he did exactly what he 0:37:09.680 --> 0:37:11.400 was supposed to do even when he wasn't able to 0:37:11.440 --> 0:37:11.799 do much. 0:37:11.960 --> 0:37:13.400 And one of the things that looked apparent to me 0:37:13.640 --> 0:37:15.480 was even on plays where he wasn't the guy that 0:37:15.560 --> 0:37:18.799 made the tackle in the run game, when the Cowboys 0:37:18.880 --> 0:37:22.680 made good stops in the run game. Typically what I 0:37:22.760 --> 0:37:25.520 saw if Mozzi was on the field, Mazzi was in 0:37:25.600 --> 0:37:28.239 a spot he did not move, and because he did 0:37:28.239 --> 0:37:31.560 not move, running backs had to adapt, and when they adapted, 0:37:31.760 --> 0:37:34.640 it created less room for them and that forced that 0:37:34.640 --> 0:37:36.600 that allowed the Cowboys defense to get in and make 0:37:36.640 --> 0:37:38.880 the tackle. So there's gonna be a lot of times 0:37:39.040 --> 0:37:41.200 when you will see a game. 0:37:41.040 --> 0:37:43.240 Where you're like, did Mozzie Smith play? 0:37:43.960 --> 0:37:45.080 But all you have to do is go look at 0:37:45.080 --> 0:37:48.440 the film and watch what happens on these running downs 0:37:48.719 --> 0:37:50.759 and you will see his impact. I think it's it's 0:37:50.800 --> 0:37:53.400 apparent when you watch that. It just may not always 0:37:53.400 --> 0:37:54.360 be apparent in the statue. 0:37:54.440 --> 0:37:56.480 Well, and that's why you have these If you're gonna 0:37:56.560 --> 0:37:58.560 clog the middle, you gotta have linebackers that can chase 0:37:58.600 --> 0:38:00.279 sides of the sideline, which is what we've been talking 0:38:00.280 --> 0:38:01.640 about real quick. 0:38:01.640 --> 0:38:04.720 I do want to talk about one other guy, Eric Scott. 0:38:04.760 --> 0:38:06.520 He's a guy that got a lot of love out 0:38:06.560 --> 0:38:11.759 here at practices throughout training camp, cornerback draft pick. What 0:38:11.800 --> 0:38:13.279 did you guys see from him to see anything in 0:38:13.320 --> 0:38:16.320 this game or see anything after the game in watching 0:38:16.360 --> 0:38:19.840 film that may have given you an idea on him. 0:38:20.200 --> 0:38:23.080 Six round pick from Southern miss you know, and the 0:38:23.440 --> 0:38:26.279 lights were on and it wasn't his best It wasn't 0:38:26.280 --> 0:38:29.480 his best performance. I mean, like, I think he had 0:38:29.520 --> 0:38:31.520 been doing some really good things out here. You want 0:38:31.520 --> 0:38:34.520 to see him and carry over. It wasn't terrible, but 0:38:34.640 --> 0:38:36.280 I mean they just wanted him to kind of compete 0:38:36.280 --> 0:38:38.359 a little bit more. He was not the best sixth 0:38:38.440 --> 0:38:41.440 round pick on the of the night for the Cowboys, 0:38:41.719 --> 0:38:46.080 I think. But are they discouraged? No, No, this guy's 0:38:46.120 --> 0:38:49.480 got he's I love his demeanor, his confidence is good. 0:38:49.680 --> 0:38:52.080 He'll he'll be fine. I really do. I think he'll 0:38:52.120 --> 0:38:53.680 he'll be fine. I just don't think it was his 0:38:53.719 --> 0:38:54.160 best game. 0:38:54.400 --> 0:38:57.480 Yeah, he has the demeanor, He's definitely got that dog mentality. 0:38:57.880 --> 0:39:00.719 He has the skill set, albeit it does need you know, 0:39:01.000 --> 0:39:05.080 the sixth round pick. He's a rookie. But looking at 0:39:05.080 --> 0:39:07.120 the film, he got caught with his eyes in the 0:39:07.160 --> 0:39:10.080 backfield a little one too many times from my liking, 0:39:10.360 --> 0:39:13.920 and that allowed free releases out of the backfield that 0:39:13.960 --> 0:39:17.160 allowed his receivers signing sometimes to get out in space 0:39:17.320 --> 0:39:20.160 when otherwise he may not have. So I think that 0:39:20.160 --> 0:39:23.040 that's the key for Eric Scott going forward, especially going 0:39:23.040 --> 0:39:25.319 into Game two against the Seattle Seahawks, is that he 0:39:25.360 --> 0:39:28.160 needs to just understand his assignments, his keys and not 0:39:28.239 --> 0:39:30.120 try to overplay or not try to do too much. 0:39:30.320 --> 0:39:32.120 I think that could go to the fact that came 0:39:32.160 --> 0:39:34.279 from a smaller school. The big lights went on, he 0:39:34.360 --> 0:39:36.920 was at at and T Stadium, the pomp and circumstance 0:39:37.000 --> 0:39:39.280 of it all, and maybe he felt like he needed 0:39:39.280 --> 0:39:42.440 to prove when really he just needs to play football 0:39:42.680 --> 0:39:43.840 and be Eric Scott. 0:39:43.680 --> 0:39:46.000 And he'll get more reps because I don't It doesn't 0:39:46.000 --> 0:39:49.480 sound like Nation will play this week. That means Bland 0:39:49.480 --> 0:39:50.800 will play something. You don't want to play him a 0:39:50.880 --> 0:39:53.880 ton anyways, And you've got Kelvin Joseph out there, and 0:39:53.920 --> 0:39:57.160 I would think Eric Scott will come in after that. 0:39:57.239 --> 0:39:59.440 So I mean Eric Scott has a chance to play 0:39:59.480 --> 0:40:00.560 a lot in this escape. 0:40:00.640 --> 0:40:02.560 Ye all right, we appreciate you guys, Jonas. We will 0:40:02.600 --> 0:40:05.200 be back on Wednesday. We're gonna wrap this camp up 0:40:05.200 --> 0:40:07.000 on Wednesday. I'm gonna have lots of question for these 0:40:07.000 --> 0:40:11.640 guys about their big picture thoughts on this team. After 0:40:11.680 --> 0:40:13.799 finishing a whole training camp and then heading back to 0:40:13.840 --> 0:40:17.040 Frisco for about another week of training camp before we 0:40:17.080 --> 0:40:18.919 get ready for the season. Until then, for Nick even 0:40:19.120 --> 0:40:21.279 Patrick Walker, I'm Derek and this has been the Break 0:40:21.320 --> 0:40:23.640 live on Dallas Cowboys dot Com Radio. 0:40:24.760 --> 0:40:27.719 This has been a production of Dallascowboys dot Com and 0:40:27.880 --> 0:40:30.840 the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
