Do you know size fourteen shoes? 25 00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:48,640 Speaker 1: So I'm so worried we're over this this coral bed. 26 00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:51,120 Speaker 1: It's like they tell me it's like a million years old, 27 00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:53,600 Speaker 1: one of those things. And I was so worried about 28 00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:57,080 Speaker 1: my flippers, like hitting the being too long a bottom 29 00:01:57,120 --> 00:01:59,800 Speaker 1: and hitting the coral, you know, breaking off pieces. I 30 00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:02,160 Speaker 1: was like, I was floating around. I was like, oh, 31 00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:04,400 Speaker 1: please don't touch the coral. Please don't touch the coral. 32 00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:09,440 Speaker 1: I was worried that my Finn was gonna knock it. Okay, right, yeah, yeah. 33 00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:11,880 Speaker 1: Snorkeling is the best. It is great. Yeah. I don't 34 00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:15,160 Speaker 1: think I would dive, but I can snorkel. How about it? Well, 35 00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:19,320 Speaker 1: it's always it's sad leaving here every year because the 36 00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:22,040 Speaker 1: weather is so great, everybody's so hospitable to us. A 37 00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:23,560 Speaker 1: lot of good work done here, and knocks start a 38 00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:26,760 Speaker 1: lot of good heart talked about that yesterday. Yeah, selfish 39 00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:29,240 Speaker 1: say it was selfish about that, you know, I want 40 00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:33,359 Speaker 1: teams coming to me and for scrimmages whatever. Yeah. And 41 00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:37,800 Speaker 1: I noticed that the intensity and practice. I thought the 42 00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:40,799 Speaker 1: assistant coaches did a good job of ramping it up, 43 00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:44,240 Speaker 1: like making sure these players didn't think, Okay, this is 44 00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:47,800 Speaker 1: over with, we're leaving. I thought these last two days 45 00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:50,600 Speaker 1: of practice were really really good in the and you 46 00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:54,600 Speaker 1: can see the assistant coaches were making an effort to like, Okay, 47 00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:57,520 Speaker 1: we're not letting up here. We still got work to do, 48 00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:01,160 Speaker 1: and and they were very vocal, I thought, trying to 49 00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:04,520 Speaker 1: inspire the guys. So yeah, and even even the little 50 00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:08,400 Speaker 1: by play in the afternoon practice between Richard and Dak Prescott. 51 00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:13,560 Speaker 1: You know, I'm not sure that just happened organically, like 52 00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:15,519 Speaker 1: I think they had it in their mind, Okay, we 53 00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:18,200 Speaker 1: gotta jack everybody up. Yeah. I think it was really 54 00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:22,040 Speaker 1: funny on the the last compete period at the very end, 55 00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:24,120 Speaker 1: right where they you know, where it was down to 56 00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:27,360 Speaker 1: the three plays offit scored really like on the first 57 00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:31,680 Speaker 1: play and Mark Colombo yelled at the defense two extra 58 00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:35,440 Speaker 1: point two extra points, you know, and like all those 59 00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:37,920 Speaker 1: defensive coaches were all sitting there and Mark was like 60 00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:41,200 Speaker 1: two field goal, two field goal indio and he said 61 00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:42,880 Speaker 1: he was laughing. He was kind of high five and 62 00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:45,760 Speaker 1: the defense came back. So yeah, I thought when he 63 00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:47,240 Speaker 1: yelled at that they were going to go for a 64 00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:49,640 Speaker 1: two point No, he was, he was. He was rubbing it. 65 00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:52,920 Speaker 1: He was, he was rubbing it in. And by the way, uh, 66 00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:55,960 Speaker 1: the head coach said, had they scored that touchdown at 67 00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:58,000 Speaker 1: the end of the game on Saturday, they were going 68 00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:00,280 Speaker 1: for two, they're too Yeah, there you go. I think 69 00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:02,560 Speaker 1: I think I read on the transcript that Kyle Shanahan 70 00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:05,880 Speaker 1: would have really been disappointed in that decision. Yeah, he 71 00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:09,080 Speaker 1: would have. Well, good, maybe the Cowboys were disappointed. He 72 00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:12,240 Speaker 1: didn't play any of his players. Yeah, that's okay, fair enough, 73 00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:15,520 Speaker 1: it's preseason, that's right. It was. Brian always say to 74 00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:17,920 Speaker 1: Woody Wou and everybody out there in periscope, only worry 75 00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:20,080 Speaker 1: about what you can control. That's right, that's right. Don't 76 00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:25,120 Speaker 1: worry about Woody Wou and everybody in periscope. Good mor 77 00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:28,080 Speaker 1: mat us. Yeah, questions whatever you have for getting to 78 00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:32,080 Speaker 1: the championship game. He shouldn't like complain about anything. Yeah, 79 00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:37,760 Speaker 1: fair enough. All right, So speaking of we're not letting 80 00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:47,000 Speaker 1: up intensity, all right? Uh. Contract talk, Jerry met with 81 00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:48,520 Speaker 1: the media. He's only done in a handful of time 82 00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:53,000 Speaker 1: since he's been out here, about ten twelve minutes, mostly 83 00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:57,120 Speaker 1: about dak Zeke and Amari. Yeah, what did you take 84 00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:00,880 Speaker 1: from that discussion after practice? I don't think any things changed. 85 00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:04,440 Speaker 1: I don't think they feel like their backs are against 86 00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:08,040 Speaker 1: the wall. And it kind of furthered what he said 87 00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:10,599 Speaker 1: on the pregame show when I asked him about the 88 00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:15,240 Speaker 1: contracts and I specifically said those three and he said, well, 89 00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:17,360 Speaker 1: all I know is I'm working on six of them. 90 00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:21,320 Speaker 1: So he kind of reiterated the deal about we've got 91 00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:24,920 Speaker 1: to sign a lot of guys and the market doesn't 92 00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:28,200 Speaker 1: mean anything to me. What means to me is getting 93 00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:32,240 Speaker 1: my guys signed as a team. And I think he 94 00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:35,360 Speaker 1: used the analogy of DeMarcus Ware. Yeah. I was going 95 00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:37,279 Speaker 1: to ask you guys about that if you had a 96 00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:40,000 Speaker 1: thought about how he explained that to you, And what 97 00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:43,480 Speaker 1: was the translation the Jerry whisper on that there. Well, 98 00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:45,640 Speaker 1: I mean he started it off with saying, I don't 99 00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:48,920 Speaker 1: have the responsibility of dealing with the market. I got 100 00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:52,520 Speaker 1: to realize I could let a DeMarcus ware out of 101 00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:56,400 Speaker 1: here because I don't have enough money because I paid 102 00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:59,160 Speaker 1: it to many others. There you go. And so that's 103 00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:01,800 Speaker 1: his analogy of I give it all to these guys, 104 00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:05,200 Speaker 1: then the other guys that I'm trying to sign ain't 105 00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:07,160 Speaker 1: gonna get done. And he didn't. He and he raised 106 00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:10,400 Speaker 1: the possibility of one of those other guys getting done 107 00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:13,080 Speaker 1: before the start of the season. I have a feeling 108 00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:15,400 Speaker 1: Rob's gonna make quizzes on that a little bit here. 109 00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:17,600 Speaker 1: Any thoughts on who that might be. I mean, we 110 00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:20,279 Speaker 1: threw out a few names in our recap yesterday on 111 00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:23,680 Speaker 1: the website, guys that are either restricted or unrestricted after 112 00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:28,400 Speaker 1: this season currently who are not in the quote unquote 113 00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:32,000 Speaker 1: big three, like the roster Jalen Smith. There's one Layl 114 00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:38,359 Speaker 1: Collins yet, mcleake Collins. Yeah. Uh. Anthony Brown Byron Jones 115 00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:43,360 Speaker 1: Byron Jones, Yeah, absolutely so yeah. I mean he kind 116 00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:45,240 Speaker 1: of threw out a little mystery there, you know, could 117 00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:49,080 Speaker 1: there be a fourth guy that they're because one thing 118 00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:51,920 Speaker 1: he said throughout the offseason was there's no pecking order here. 119 00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:53,920 Speaker 1: You know, there's a lot of guys on this team. 120 00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:56,520 Speaker 1: We like if if you know, we're not waiting to 121 00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:58,360 Speaker 1: get one deal done to go get another done. I've 122 00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:00,960 Speaker 1: I've had I've had guys tell him me, who do 123 00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:04,240 Speaker 1: these contracts and stuff? You know, they said, listen, there 124 00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:06,880 Speaker 1: is no order. Rob, you made the exact point. There, 125 00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:08,600 Speaker 1: there is no order. If you're one of those guys 126 00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:11,920 Speaker 1: that's coming in and willing to deal and and make 127 00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:14,240 Speaker 1: a deal and give us an offer, and we'll make 128 00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:16,080 Speaker 1: a counter offer and if you're willing to work with 129 00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:19,000 Speaker 1: we'll sign you. I don't think it's like the It's 130 00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:21,800 Speaker 1: like the cap guys have been sitting here the whole 131 00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:24,480 Speaker 1: time and just okay, let's twiddle our thumbs and let's 132 00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:27,040 Speaker 1: watch practice and let's not do anything. I mean, their 133 00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:30,400 Speaker 1: doors open for business now. Like Mickey would tell you, you 134 00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:32,800 Speaker 1: you got to be realistic with me here, don't you know, 135 00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:36,200 Speaker 1: don't live in fantasyland, you know, live in reality of 136 00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:39,640 Speaker 1: what like Jerry Jones is talking about, Jerry Jones does 137 00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:42,880 Speaker 1: not want to go through losing another DeMarcus ware because 138 00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:45,600 Speaker 1: he overpaid somebody else. That that is a that is 139 00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:48,640 Speaker 1: a fact, and that is a fact that now you know, 140 00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:51,280 Speaker 1: we talk about the things that the Cowboys over the 141 00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:55,280 Speaker 1: years have done. They developed their their their mantra has 142 00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:57,920 Speaker 1: been if you want to say, draft, sign our own, 143 00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:01,080 Speaker 1: where when I was here it was maybe draft well, 144 00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:04,760 Speaker 1: but overpay for other people's talent. That that's now in 145 00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:07,880 Speaker 1: the past. Now they're moving to Okay, let's make sure 146 00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:10,200 Speaker 1: that we could take care of all our players and 147 00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:13,760 Speaker 1: still keep our team together without wrecking our salary cap 148 00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:16,760 Speaker 1: and us having to lose players. So that that's a 149 00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:22,320 Speaker 1: really salient example. D where like when it happened, was 150 00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:25,720 Speaker 1: that the issue, although he was dealing with a lot 151 00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:30,160 Speaker 1: of injuries right at the time back and they decided 152 00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:33,320 Speaker 1: that where his base salary was right, it was a 153 00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:37,920 Speaker 1: little bit high for their for their blood, how rich 154 00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:41,160 Speaker 1: it was, and and so they decided to move on. 155 00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:44,040 Speaker 1: And I think it was that it was that philosophy, 156 00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:47,680 Speaker 1: let's cut a guy too soon than waiting too late 157 00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:51,320 Speaker 1: and getting a broken down player. And he was he 158 00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:54,080 Speaker 1: had injuries right at that time, but you know, he 159 00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:57,240 Speaker 1: went on and had another year or two that was 160 00:08:57,440 --> 00:09:01,000 Speaker 1: pretty good in Denver, right, So yeah, I don't But 161 00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:03,480 Speaker 1: I think the other part of it was that, you know, 162 00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:06,760 Speaker 1: they thought he was physically breaking down and then if 163 00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:10,480 Speaker 1: they paid him that money, it might not have been 164 00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:13,440 Speaker 1: available because of who you know, the Tony Romo contract 165 00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:17,400 Speaker 1: as Brian contract coming up. So there, Yeah, there was 166 00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:19,960 Speaker 1: a lot of factors in there. I thought. The interesting 167 00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:23,160 Speaker 1: thing is, you know he said, really he goes, you know, 168 00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:26,559 Speaker 1: when people said, are you getting worried and nothing's getting done, 169 00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:31,000 Speaker 1: and he goes, He basically said, there's there's no leverage 170 00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:34,720 Speaker 1: for either side until the season starts, meaning Zeke and 171 00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:39,320 Speaker 1: the Cowboys. He said, because the leverage is, well, he 172 00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:42,000 Speaker 1: could miss games and we won't have them, but our 173 00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:47,480 Speaker 1: leverage is he can lose paychecks, game checks and twenty 174 00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:50,800 Speaker 1: four thousand dollars worth of game checks each week. So 175 00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:52,959 Speaker 1: that's the leverage. And now you're sitting there going, I 176 00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:55,400 Speaker 1: don't know if that they're playing chicken, but that's the 177 00:09:55,520 --> 00:10:00,720 Speaker 1: leverage eats, you know, for each side. So he seems 178 00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:04,080 Speaker 1: to think, and Jason seems to think that they still 179 00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:08,560 Speaker 1: have a really good relationship with Zekiel Elle absolutely, So 180 00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:11,319 Speaker 1: you know, the deal is dealing with the agent and 181 00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:13,679 Speaker 1: what the agent's trying to get. And I guess at 182 00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:16,200 Speaker 1: some point the player can step up and say sort 183 00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:18,640 Speaker 1: of like where I mean not where DeMarcus Lawrence. That's 184 00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:20,800 Speaker 1: I think let's get this done. You and Rob have 185 00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:23,240 Speaker 1: talked about that. You right now, Rob has talked about 186 00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:26,160 Speaker 1: that before that. In order to get this deal done, 187 00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:28,840 Speaker 1: it maybe takes Steven Jones getting on the phone with 188 00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:31,600 Speaker 1: Ezekiel and saying, listen, this is what I can do 189 00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:34,320 Speaker 1: for you. Can you help me here because I'm trying 190 00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:36,920 Speaker 1: to build and keep a team around you. I'm trying 191 00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:39,439 Speaker 1: to give you one of the best top five offensive 192 00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:41,760 Speaker 1: lines in the in the in the NFL. I'm trying 193 00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:43,960 Speaker 1: to give you a quarterback that we feel like he's 194 00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:46,000 Speaker 1: on the rise. I'm trying to give you a wide 195 00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:48,520 Speaker 1: receiver that's one of the top five in the National 196 00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:50,680 Speaker 1: Football League as well. If you can help me a 197 00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:53,760 Speaker 1: little bit on this, you know, we can work together here. 198 00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:56,559 Speaker 1: And I think I think I think Zeke could be reasonable. 199 00:10:56,840 --> 00:10:59,320 Speaker 1: I think Zeke's a prideful guy though too. You know 200 00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:02,120 Speaker 1: he knows this where this team. I mean he's if 201 00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:04,360 Speaker 1: if Zeke was in camp and it was a Maury 202 00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:07,280 Speaker 1: Cooper holding out, I'm sure Stephen Jones would have the 203 00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:09,920 Speaker 1: same thing. Hey, I'm giving you a top five running back. 204 00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:12,600 Speaker 1: I'm giving you a quarterback on the rise. I'm giving you, 205 00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:15,480 Speaker 1: you know, I mean, yeah, trying to keep players around 206 00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:18,000 Speaker 1: you so you're not going you're not getting beat up 207 00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:21,319 Speaker 1: and losing football games every week. Deadlines do make deals. 208 00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:24,959 Speaker 1: DeMarcus Lawrence's deadline, to a certain extent was I should 209 00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:27,680 Speaker 1: shoulder fixed. And if I don't get it fixed in 210 00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:31,040 Speaker 1: the spring, then I'm jeopardizing my season, or at least 211 00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:33,880 Speaker 1: part of it. And we just spoke about Zeke's and 212 00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:36,240 Speaker 1: the Cowboys kind of artificial deadlines. I don't even know 213 00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:38,360 Speaker 1: if they're artificial. It's the fact that there's games coming 214 00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:40,680 Speaker 1: up that matter that will pay Zeke a lot of 215 00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:43,480 Speaker 1: money per week, and the Cowboys and Zeke are trying 216 00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:45,080 Speaker 1: to go win a Super Bowl this year and see, 217 00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:48,960 Speaker 1: and you got to remember that those those base salaries, 218 00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:52,360 Speaker 1: they exist even though you get an extension. It's not 219 00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:54,920 Speaker 1: like you take off the base salaries for this year 220 00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:57,920 Speaker 1: and you take away the base salary. He's guaranteed for 221 00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:02,840 Speaker 1: next year. The extension starts after twenty twenty, so when 222 00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:06,520 Speaker 1: you figure out the package, you know, like I've been 223 00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:09,200 Speaker 1: trying to explain to folks, so when a player gets 224 00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:12,240 Speaker 1: an extension, he's on the last year, that base salary 225 00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:14,600 Speaker 1: for this year still counts, but it's next year, then 226 00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:16,520 Speaker 1: it starts, and then it starts next year, so you 227 00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:19,280 Speaker 1: have to factor in if it's a five year deal. Okay, 228 00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:21,920 Speaker 1: what's he getting over six years? Right? Right? What's he 229 00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:24,560 Speaker 1: getting over six this current year? Right? The other year, 230 00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:28,319 Speaker 1: which devalues the average of its twenty million all of 231 00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:31,520 Speaker 1: a sudden, now it's fifteen million. The question for Periscope, 232 00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:34,840 Speaker 1: they want to know, Okay, if Zeke does sign before Dak, 233 00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:38,360 Speaker 1: does that affect Dak's negotiations? Are you concerning it two 234 00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:42,920 Speaker 1: separate things? You can looking at this as all different 235 00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:46,640 Speaker 1: types of things. Money. Does it affect how much they 236 00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:50,240 Speaker 1: can pay them or or does it affect what they want? Yeah? 237 00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:52,600 Speaker 1: I think I think it. The question is how does 238 00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:58,120 Speaker 1: that affect negotiations for Dak? I would imagine it might 239 00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:01,680 Speaker 1: speed him up, but I mean it takes money out. Yeah. 240 00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:05,240 Speaker 1: But but but they they've they've prepared for all three 241 00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:08,560 Speaker 1: of these top guys to be together. Yeah right, yeah, Now, now, 242 00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:12,240 Speaker 1: I mean maybe there's gotta be some wiggle room at 243 00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:14,439 Speaker 1: some point, because you can't just say this is what, well, 244 00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:15,800 Speaker 1: I guess you could just say this I mean if 245 00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:18,280 Speaker 1: I overpay, But if I overpay robbed and does that 246 00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:20,920 Speaker 1: mean I gotta underpay? That's the question. I think that's 247 00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:22,400 Speaker 1: what I think. You don't think that's the way it's 248 00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:25,600 Speaker 1: gonna work, Okay, fair enough. I think each guy probably 249 00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:28,400 Speaker 1: knows what, you know, what they need to have, you know. 250 00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:30,240 Speaker 1: On the interesting thing I just thought of. You know, 251 00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:33,840 Speaker 1: you mentioned DeMarcus Lawrence and they got together. Could that 252 00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:37,520 Speaker 1: have happened a month earlier? Yeah? Like did it? What? 253 00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:40,880 Speaker 1: What did it take to get to that point? Because 254 00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:44,240 Speaker 1: he got what seemed like a fair contract right to me, 255 00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:47,559 Speaker 1: I don't know, you know what he thinks. And it 256 00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:50,680 Speaker 1: doesn't look like obviously feel like that. Obviously feels like 257 00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:52,280 Speaker 1: it was a fair deal to him because he signed it. 258 00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:55,160 Speaker 1: And what what got it done? He walked in the 259 00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:58,680 Speaker 1: room and talked you say that along, right? And and 260 00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:01,800 Speaker 1: I know this for a fact that if if you're 261 00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:07,720 Speaker 1: not just contracts, if you're negotiating a business deal with Jerry, 262 00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:11,880 Speaker 1: if you're walking in the room, you better be prepared 263 00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:14,600 Speaker 1: to get signed or signed the deal because he will 264 00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:17,200 Speaker 1: talk you into it. Yeah, face to face. That's famous 265 00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:19,680 Speaker 1: for when free agents come on official visits. Yeah, it's 266 00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:22,800 Speaker 1: like if they're interested, and you know, if they're coming in, 267 00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:25,840 Speaker 1: obviously there's mutual interest. Usually the guy's not leaving without 268 00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:27,720 Speaker 1: a deal, or if it does, it's it's no more 269 00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:29,760 Speaker 1: than twenty four hours. You know. It's like, I don't 270 00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:33,200 Speaker 1: know if if Pepsi walks in the room, you know, yeah, 271 00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:35,600 Speaker 1: better be ready to do a deal. Yeah, because he 272 00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:41,160 Speaker 1: is that good and engaging when he's in a negotiation. Jerry, 273 00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:43,920 Speaker 1: I don't think the forty million report came up, but 274 00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:47,880 Speaker 1: Jerry was asked about Dak reportedly turning down thirty million, 275 00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:49,960 Speaker 1: and this is what he said. You don't have any 276 00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:53,560 Speaker 1: financial way of knowing, any way of knowing where you 277 00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:56,320 Speaker 1: are financially until a deal is done financially, and so 278 00:14:56,360 --> 00:14:58,680 Speaker 1: you have no idea. It takes two both of us 279 00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:01,240 Speaker 1: haven't said yes. At the same time, he also reiterated 280 00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:05,280 Speaker 1: he's not focused on what the market is right and 281 00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:07,200 Speaker 1: because there's a lot of talk about, well, there's top 282 00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:11,600 Speaker 1: five offers, you know, for for these guys at their 283 00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:16,360 Speaker 1: respective positions, and he just went on to say, it's 284 00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:18,440 Speaker 1: it's if I'm listening to advice, it's how to get 285 00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:20,360 Speaker 1: all these top players under the cap. And so I 286 00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:23,000 Speaker 1: don't have the responsibility of dealing with the market. It's 287 00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:27,239 Speaker 1: it's the cap it's under one roof. That's that's continues 288 00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:29,680 Speaker 1: to be the line from Jerry and Stephen. We've got 289 00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:33,480 Speaker 1: to be able to field one through fifty three long term, 290 00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:36,440 Speaker 1: a team that can compete. See and from Dak's standpoint, 291 00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:40,240 Speaker 1: he knows even if they don't get an extension this year, 292 00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:43,880 Speaker 1: his guaranteed contract under the franchise tag next year is 293 00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:47,040 Speaker 1: going to be somewhere close to thirty million. That's true, right, 294 00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:49,800 Speaker 1: that's what you're gonna get, true, and it's guaranteed. Now. 295 00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:51,920 Speaker 1: Do you want some of that money early? Do you 296 00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:55,960 Speaker 1: not want it all from in front or do you 297 00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:59,920 Speaker 1: want to get it week by week? And that's the 298 00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:02,280 Speaker 1: that's the chance you take. And I don't know. I'm 299 00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:06,480 Speaker 1: not a financial expert to know. Again, I would imagine 300 00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:08,800 Speaker 1: his signing bonus is somewhere. If you look at all 301 00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:11,000 Speaker 1: the other signing bonuses have been out there, they're not 302 00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:14,440 Speaker 1: as high as they've been previously. So the signing bonus 303 00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:17,480 Speaker 1: is probably twenty to thirty millions something like that. Do 304 00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:19,360 Speaker 1: you want it all now or do you want to 305 00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:22,920 Speaker 1: work for it? Next year under the franchise tache and 306 00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:24,920 Speaker 1: that's the difference. The other thing Jerry said was he's 307 00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:28,880 Speaker 1: gotten no indication from each camp that they wouldn't be 308 00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:31,920 Speaker 1: willing to negotiate into the season. Yeah, if it came 309 00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:34,440 Speaker 1: to that. So at this point, you know, things can change. 310 00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:38,480 Speaker 1: But that's still a possibility, assuming or if these deals 311 00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:40,240 Speaker 1: don't get done in a few weeks. That's in the 312 00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:44,520 Speaker 1: book of sports writing questions. I know you negotiate during 313 00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:47,400 Speaker 1: the season. If somebody was going to give you offered 314 00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:50,000 Speaker 1: you thirty million dollars signing bonus in the season, you're 315 00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:53,280 Speaker 1: going no. No. But that's a fair question. We discussed 316 00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:56,840 Speaker 1: it yesterday and Zack Martin said a couple of years ago, 317 00:16:57,360 --> 00:16:59,520 Speaker 1: I just want to focus on the season. That's fine. 318 00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:01,800 Speaker 1: But so what if it didn't get done and they 319 00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:04,159 Speaker 1: gave him the deal he wanted, he wasn't gonna go 320 00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:07,840 Speaker 1: now now we ain't doing this, that one's gonna happen. 321 00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:11,000 Speaker 1: It's a fair question to ask. It's a fair question. That's, 322 00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:13,239 Speaker 1: like I said, it's in the book the Questions of 323 00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:15,720 Speaker 1: sports right now.

Well, they're they're asking questions 400 00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:27,280 Speaker 1: about uh really, they're they're they're interested. They appreciate the 401 00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:29,560 Speaker 1: fact that we did have a little contract talk there, 402 00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:33,439 Speaker 1: but you know, do they they're wondering though about the 403 00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:37,359 Speaker 1: situation when John Vay Johnson and Guiting, you know they're 404 00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:39,239 Speaker 1: looking at that. Do we see I mean, I know 405 00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:44,280 Speaker 1: Johnson's a little nicked up right now. Is that still? 406 00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:47,040 Speaker 1: Do you still have John Vay Johnson in your plans? 407 00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:50,440 Speaker 1: Mickey robbed Is he still or now all of a 408 00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:53,520 Speaker 1: sudden you have to talk about Devin Smith and now 409 00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:57,800 Speaker 1: talk about also Cric Wilson. Yes, yes, so, I mean, 410 00:21:58,080 --> 00:22:02,120 Speaker 1: is are the two guys that we're clearly depending on 411 00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:04,479 Speaker 1: how he's coming out of OTAs how you looked at it, 412 00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:08,120 Speaker 1: the two guys that were the OTA darlings or now 413 00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:10,440 Speaker 1: or they have they fallen behind? What we've seen with 414 00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:13,119 Speaker 1: Devin Devin Smith, Yes, looked like to me, why I 415 00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:15,200 Speaker 1: see why he was drafted in the second round. Absolutely, 416 00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:17,760 Speaker 1: I see why. I see. I get it now. Maybe 417 00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:20,680 Speaker 1: you know the fact that his health wasn't good that 418 00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:23,320 Speaker 1: that probably a big factor. But he's making some plays 419 00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:26,640 Speaker 1: out here, guys, he really is making place. So my 420 00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:31,359 Speaker 1: question is have the the OTA darlings taken a back seat? 421 00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:35,080 Speaker 1: And again this is coming off periscope to the guys 422 00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:37,119 Speaker 1: we've seen now, make don't know if it's a back seat. 423 00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:39,840 Speaker 1: But I think there's higher level of competition right now, 424 00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:46,040 Speaker 1: and now I think it's for one spot potentially. Potentially, 425 00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:49,760 Speaker 1: I've got Tavon Austin at five. It depends. It depends 426 00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:54,159 Speaker 1: on Noah Brown. Yeah, I think that they haven't They 427 00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:57,360 Speaker 1: haven't rushed him back, and he's ready when they get 428 00:22:57,359 --> 00:22:59,359 Speaker 1: back to the Star, he'll be ready to practice the 429 00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:02,240 Speaker 1: way out of see him running out here, and he's 430 00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:07,320 Speaker 1: finally standing with the guys going through the walkthrough, which 431 00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:10,800 Speaker 1: he hadn't been doing before he had a jersey on. Uh, 432 00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:13,359 Speaker 1: So I think he's getting closed. So I think all 433 00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:18,760 Speaker 1: that depends on what they think of him. So I 434 00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:23,560 Speaker 1: think there's depending on him or Tavon. There's one to 435 00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:26,919 Speaker 1: two spots open unless they go really long. But I 436 00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:29,560 Speaker 1: think the other two guys that we've been taught, actually 437 00:23:29,560 --> 00:23:33,159 Speaker 1: the three guys Reggie Davis. Uh. We were thinking it 438 00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:35,680 Speaker 1: was a three man race. Well it's a five man race, 439 00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:38,320 Speaker 1: right because they really like what Devin Smith did in 440 00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:42,760 Speaker 1: that preseason game. He should have had two touchdown passes 441 00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:46,639 Speaker 1: if Rush had thrown the ball the way he should 442 00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:48,760 Speaker 1: have because he had good protection on the deep one 443 00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:51,280 Speaker 1: and the fact that he missed him wide open across 444 00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:53,399 Speaker 1: the back of the end zone, and then he might 445 00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:58,400 Speaker 1: White White rush. Yeah, sorry, Mike White. Yeah, and then 446 00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:02,800 Speaker 1: he missed Darius Jackson underneath. It's fourth down, right, So 447 00:24:03,119 --> 00:24:06,359 Speaker 1: the fear of throwing underneath on first, second, or third 448 00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:09,000 Speaker 1: down is you don't have a time out right, and 449 00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:13,480 Speaker 1: you might burn the clock. But on fourth down, if 450 00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:16,680 Speaker 1: he's open, and he's that wide open, then throw it underneath. 451 00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:18,960 Speaker 1: I mean, I saw Troy Aikman dude in the game 452 00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:22,280 Speaker 1: to Jay Novochek and the ball came up like two 453 00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:25,280 Speaker 1: feet short of the goal line Cleveland, I believe it was, 454 00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:27,800 Speaker 1: and they lost the game. Yeah, and everybody's like, what's 455 00:24:27,800 --> 00:24:30,520 Speaker 1: Troy doing? Well, the guy was wide open underneath and 456 00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:32,760 Speaker 1: they came up and made a really good tackle. Bill 457 00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:38,639 Speaker 1: Belichick in uh in company. So I think those guys 458 00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:42,159 Speaker 1: are in the conversation right now. Brian, you said you 459 00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:46,560 Speaker 1: got Tavon at five. I thinking Noah's on. I'm thinking 460 00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:50,240 Speaker 1: Noah's Okay, Okay, I'm thinking Noah's on at four, And 461 00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:53,560 Speaker 1: I'm just going I'm not That's not me, That's that's 462 00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:56,160 Speaker 1: I'm I'm I'm telling you what I think they're gonna do. Yeah, 463 00:24:56,240 --> 00:24:57,960 Speaker 1: I think so it might be one spot. I mean 464 00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:01,720 Speaker 1: we've seen they've this team has kept seven receivers before, 465 00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:04,560 Speaker 1: but it's not easy to do well. So it's a 466 00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:07,600 Speaker 1: matter of who can return punts. Yeah, and you noticed 467 00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:10,879 Speaker 1: in the second half Cedric Wilson was back there returning punts, 468 00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:14,840 Speaker 1: and then yesterday Jordan Lewis was actually fielding a couple 469 00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:17,239 Speaker 1: and we really hadn't seen much of that. So I 470 00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:19,520 Speaker 1: think it's turning in their heads. Well, if we don't 471 00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:23,480 Speaker 1: have Reggie Davis or Tavon, somebody else has got to return, 472 00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:28,000 Speaker 1: somebody we trust catching them. Okay, Okay, let's let's play 473 00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:30,640 Speaker 1: this little game. Gosh, I know you're gonna hate this, Mickey, 474 00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:33,520 Speaker 1: I'll let you know. Okay, of all those guys, of 475 00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:36,399 Speaker 1: the five guys we talked about, who would you hate 476 00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:43,280 Speaker 1: to lose the most of the five? Yeah? Sure, of 477 00:25:43,359 --> 00:25:47,280 Speaker 1: the five of the five guys that Mickey put out there, 478 00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:49,159 Speaker 1: he's Mickey, and we were all thinking maybe it was 479 00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:51,680 Speaker 1: a two or three man race. It's now five man race. 480 00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:55,959 Speaker 1: Who would you feel the absolute worst about losing if 481 00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:57,920 Speaker 1: they had to put one of those guys out? John 482 00:25:57,960 --> 00:26:00,680 Speaker 1: By Johnson, I think it's too early day step question. 483 00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:02,479 Speaker 1: I think for me, it's john v. Johnson. I think 484 00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:05,720 Speaker 1: he's got I think he's got the most too. Really, 485 00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:08,280 Speaker 1: I know you're gonna go with it. I'll answer the question. 486 00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:11,760 Speaker 1: He's got the most natural to me, the most natural 487 00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:14,520 Speaker 1: physical ability out there. Like to me, I look at 488 00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:16,600 Speaker 1: a guy that's got a potential to maybe even be 489 00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:19,520 Speaker 1: a starter in this league just based off of ability. 490 00:26:19,560 --> 00:26:21,840 Speaker 1: Now he's got to be able to finish plays. But 491 00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:25,680 Speaker 1: I just they love the guys makeup. I love his 492 00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:28,480 Speaker 1: his pedigree, his dad played in the league. I don't 493 00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:30,080 Speaker 1: think it's too big for him. Even though he's had 494 00:26:30,119 --> 00:26:33,240 Speaker 1: some drops, it has been too big for him, don't 495 00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:36,480 Speaker 1: you think. I don't know if he doesn't, because he's 496 00:26:36,520 --> 00:26:39,400 Speaker 1: going with him and I appreciate his he's I don't 497 00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:42,199 Speaker 1: think he made a lot of plays too, and he 498 00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:45,160 Speaker 1: plays in the game. This happens in meetings all the time. 499 00:26:45,359 --> 00:26:48,600 Speaker 1: There will be one guy tremendously passionate about a player 500 00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:53,760 Speaker 1: and in potential, and then and then water and then no, no, 501 00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:56,280 Speaker 1: but that's what you do. That's what you do, and 502 00:26:56,280 --> 00:26:58,560 Speaker 1: and it makes and you know what you did the 503 00:26:58,640 --> 00:27:00,679 Speaker 1: right thing by not going off on him. But it 504 00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:03,199 Speaker 1: makes you think like, Okay, I've now I've got to 505 00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:05,680 Speaker 1: really dig in. I've got to really dig in why 506 00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:08,159 Speaker 1: I think this guy needs to be on this football dude, 507 00:27:08,280 --> 00:27:12,400 Speaker 1: because I would fight you. I would fight you thinking like, Okay, 508 00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:15,119 Speaker 1: what does what does Devin what does you know Devin 509 00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:18,440 Speaker 1: Smith look like to me? Or what does Cedric Wilson 510 00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:20,639 Speaker 1: look like to me? You know? Those are those are 511 00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:23,879 Speaker 1: the kinds of I'm thinking of. Okay, here here are 512 00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:26,879 Speaker 1: guys that I know, I know they have this talent. 513 00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:29,280 Speaker 1: And not to say that, not to say that John 514 00:27:29,359 --> 00:27:34,159 Speaker 1: Bay Johnson doesn't have everything you said, but I'm thinking like, Okay, 515 00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:38,080 Speaker 1: what have I seen? And now sending Mickey throws in there. Okay, guys, 516 00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:40,360 Speaker 1: let me ask you this. What has he done when 517 00:27:40,359 --> 00:27:43,239 Speaker 1: we've thrown him onto the big stage? That? And then 518 00:27:43,280 --> 00:27:45,680 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, now you have to think, Okay, 519 00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:48,320 Speaker 1: how about all those practices, Mickey? How about all you 520 00:27:48,359 --> 00:27:51,560 Speaker 1: know that? Now the arguments really start, and that's where 521 00:27:51,560 --> 00:27:54,439 Speaker 1: it's tough, because you've got six tags on that board 522 00:27:54,480 --> 00:27:56,840 Speaker 1: tilted that you're gonna gift to get rid of one 523 00:27:56,880 --> 00:27:59,640 Speaker 1: of those guys, and so you rank them and you're 524 00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:02,879 Speaker 1: thinking Okay, who who do you feel the absolute the 525 00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:06,720 Speaker 1: guy who they feel the absolute worst about losing? It's 526 00:28:06,760 --> 00:28:09,040 Speaker 1: going to make this team. That's how this one is 527 00:28:09,040 --> 00:28:12,760 Speaker 1: gonna work. Because I don't know. I mean, you're looking 528 00:28:12,800 --> 00:28:15,520 Speaker 1: at diamonds in the rough, right, and now you've got 529 00:28:15,520 --> 00:28:18,879 Speaker 1: to ask yourself if I lose this guy, yeah, is 530 00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:22,439 Speaker 1: there another guy coming around next year? Right? Yeah? Or 531 00:28:22,520 --> 00:28:27,119 Speaker 1: is this guy so special he? I mean, or every 532 00:28:27,160 --> 00:28:31,560 Speaker 1: one of them besides Wilson and Devin Smith fell through 533 00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:36,040 Speaker 1: the draft this right? Can everybody be wrong? Now? Sometimes 534 00:28:36,080 --> 00:28:38,320 Speaker 1: they are right because I think they're wrong on Gifford 535 00:28:38,520 --> 00:28:40,640 Speaker 1: because I think you can pencil in him. He's gonna 536 00:28:40,640 --> 00:28:43,360 Speaker 1: make this team. Okay, he is going to make it. 537 00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:47,200 Speaker 1: He even injured. Jerry Jones mentioned him. Yeah, okay, but 538 00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:50,160 Speaker 1: he also mentioned John Vay Johnson. Okay, are you willing 539 00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:52,320 Speaker 1: to fight in that case? Are you willing to fight 540 00:28:52,680 --> 00:28:55,320 Speaker 1: for Chris Kevington? Are you stand up at the table 541 00:28:55,320 --> 00:28:57,680 Speaker 1: for Chris Kevington. I haven't seen enough for him to 542 00:28:57,720 --> 00:29:00,720 Speaker 1: say I would rather him than Gifford, But you've seen 543 00:29:00,840 --> 00:29:03,240 Speaker 1: enough of Gifford. I've seen enough of Gifford. Okay, he's 544 00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:05,320 Speaker 1: on this team. I think I agree with him on that, 545 00:29:05,360 --> 00:29:08,520 Speaker 1: and he made Mickey makes a good point like coaches 546 00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:11,920 Speaker 1: love consistency, and you can argue there's been other receivers 547 00:29:11,920 --> 00:29:15,160 Speaker 1: in this five we're talking about that have been more consistent. Yeah, 548 00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:17,000 Speaker 1: but it's also about upside. I'll give you a great 549 00:29:17,040 --> 00:29:18,880 Speaker 1: example too, if I could go ahead for Robin No, No, 550 00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:20,840 Speaker 1: it's it's it's a combination of both. You gotta go 551 00:29:20,880 --> 00:29:22,880 Speaker 1: off of what your eyes have told you from day 552 00:29:22,920 --> 00:29:26,120 Speaker 1: one through fifteen or whatever many practices they've had out here. 553 00:29:26,840 --> 00:29:28,720 Speaker 1: But then do you have to balance with what do 554 00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:30,240 Speaker 1: we think this guy can be if we can just 555 00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:32,040 Speaker 1: get him to this point? I heard a coach one 556 00:29:32,040 --> 00:29:35,120 Speaker 1: time in a meeting say this about two players. Coach 557 00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:39,840 Speaker 1: said this, Julius Jones is just as good as Steven 558 00:29:39,920 --> 00:29:43,640 Speaker 1: Jackson the running backs. Yeah, okay, that and that was 559 00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:46,440 Speaker 1: that was that was the argument. That Nay, that's like, Okay, 560 00:29:46,480 --> 00:29:49,560 Speaker 1: we don't need to pick Steven Jackson, right, if we 561 00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:54,160 Speaker 1: lose Steven Jackson, We're okay because we're gonna get Julius 562 00:29:54,280 --> 00:29:57,120 Speaker 1: Jones two thousand and four draft. That is the That 563 00:29:57,280 --> 00:29:59,400 Speaker 1: is an argument that that was happening in a war 564 00:29:59,480 --> 00:30:02,680 Speaker 1: room that Maurice cath On, the running backs coach, said 565 00:30:03,400 --> 00:30:07,840 Speaker 1: he said, at my evaluation, Julius Jones is better than 566 00:30:07,880 --> 00:30:11,760 Speaker 1: Steven Jackson. Everybody was trying to justify not losing Steven Jackson. 567 00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:16,480 Speaker 1: And when when when Parcels heard that, then everything swayed. 568 00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:19,360 Speaker 1: Now there's your okay, you you get you know, Julius 569 00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:22,120 Speaker 1: Jones is a nice player. Stephen Jackson ended up with 570 00:30:22,400 --> 00:30:25,640 Speaker 1: sit you know, twelve thirteen, fourteen thousand yards rush. You 571 00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:29,640 Speaker 1: had a long career, yeah, exactly. So that's the argument 572 00:30:29,760 --> 00:30:31,760 Speaker 1: that you have. That's why when they ask, they say 573 00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:34,760 Speaker 1: who do you feel the worst about losing? Then somebody 574 00:30:34,760 --> 00:30:37,960 Speaker 1: will argue, well, this guy's just as good. So if 575 00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:41,680 Speaker 1: you lose John Vay Johnson, Mickey will tell you We'll 576 00:30:41,720 --> 00:30:44,440 Speaker 1: wait a minute. I think that Devin's I think that 577 00:30:44,520 --> 00:30:47,160 Speaker 1: Devin Smith will be just as good. I think that 578 00:30:47,600 --> 00:30:50,760 Speaker 1: Jalen Guiton will be just as good. That's that's the 579 00:30:50,920 --> 00:30:53,600 Speaker 1: problem that you deal with when you're trying to cut 580 00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:56,240 Speaker 1: your team, especially at these spots. But what you have 581 00:30:56,400 --> 00:30:59,680 Speaker 1: to calculate is if I try to get him on 582 00:30:59,800 --> 00:31:02,840 Speaker 1: the practice squad, can I do it? And Jason talked 583 00:31:02,840 --> 00:31:05,280 Speaker 1: a little bit about it yesterday, Right, you got to 584 00:31:05,280 --> 00:31:07,800 Speaker 1: decide can I get him? And then if you lose him, 585 00:31:07,960 --> 00:31:11,640 Speaker 1: if then you say okay, all right, well fine, or 586 00:31:11,760 --> 00:31:13,840 Speaker 1: are you sitting there pulling your hair out because you 587 00:31:14,400 --> 00:31:17,600 Speaker 1: took the shot. That's the thing, if that's that's the 588 00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:20,400 Speaker 1: problem you run into is because you're sitting there thinking 589 00:31:20,720 --> 00:31:24,200 Speaker 1: if you if you're sick about losing the guy, then 590 00:31:24,520 --> 00:31:26,920 Speaker 1: but you can't keep them all. You can't keep them all. 591 00:31:26,960 --> 00:31:29,600 Speaker 1: Matt Matt Moore's the best example. What ten years ago 592 00:31:29,680 --> 00:31:32,520 Speaker 1: or so? Yeah, yeah, they get him on the practice 593 00:31:32,560 --> 00:31:35,200 Speaker 1: squad when they couldn't. And now the guy other teams 594 00:31:35,200 --> 00:31:38,800 Speaker 1: are watching, you'll take two, especially that last preseason game 595 00:31:39,120 --> 00:31:41,720 Speaker 1: which he I mean back then he had a great finale. 596 00:31:41,840 --> 00:31:44,640 Speaker 1: And okay, Dan, I'll ask it in a different way. 597 00:31:46,040 --> 00:31:48,280 Speaker 1: Out of that group, who's the best that you've seen 598 00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:51,080 Speaker 1: perform out here? Who would be number one on your list? 599 00:31:51,240 --> 00:31:55,960 Speaker 1: In practice or in games? Both? Whole thing, whole package. Oh, 600 00:31:56,000 --> 00:31:59,880 Speaker 1: I think we've seen more from John Vay, but the 601 00:32:00,040 --> 00:32:02,440 Speaker 1: He's two guys are coming on now because they're getting 602 00:32:02,520 --> 00:32:05,840 Speaker 1: more opportunities. No question. Well, I'm not sure anybody knew 603 00:32:05,840 --> 00:32:08,960 Speaker 1: Devin Smith was on this team during no, ta me, right, 604 00:32:09,080 --> 00:32:12,560 Speaker 1: I failed scouting. The only reason I knew it was 605 00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:15,880 Speaker 1: because I was told about his speed and that he 606 00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:18,960 Speaker 1: looks like he's running now the way he did coming 607 00:32:18,960 --> 00:32:23,760 Speaker 1: out of Ohio State. Uh. And remember I said Ohio State, right, 608 00:32:23,800 --> 00:32:29,680 Speaker 1: Oh no, heaven second round pick. So if he's running 609 00:32:29,680 --> 00:32:32,959 Speaker 1: as well, he's got something. And we never got to 610 00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:36,520 Speaker 1: see Cedric Wilson last year. See right, This is this 611 00:32:36,600 --> 00:32:40,080 Speaker 1: is now a good point. This is to me, if 612 00:32:40,120 --> 00:32:43,680 Speaker 1: you ask me complete package of practicing games, this is 613 00:32:43,680 --> 00:32:46,479 Speaker 1: where I'll fight for Cedric Wilson. I don't argue with 614 00:32:46,520 --> 00:32:48,360 Speaker 1: you on that. This is where I'll fight for Cedric 615 00:32:48,400 --> 00:32:51,880 Speaker 1: Wilson because downside is he's wearing dark glasses because he's 616 00:32:51,920 --> 00:32:55,560 Speaker 1: in concussion protocol. The only guy out in practice with 617 00:32:55,880 --> 00:32:59,400 Speaker 1: sunglasses on. But that's wear sidelines. Yeah, but I mean 618 00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:04,880 Speaker 1: on the field, I don't have a jersey. Yeah, so 619 00:33:05,200 --> 00:33:10,680 Speaker 1: um yeah. So you know he he's a again, it's 620 00:33:10,680 --> 00:33:14,040 Speaker 1: a different type of slot receiver, right, He's a little bigger, 621 00:33:14,360 --> 00:33:16,960 Speaker 1: but he's got speed and he seems to get open 622 00:33:17,080 --> 00:33:21,160 Speaker 1: on a consistent basis, and he's not afraid obviously to 623 00:33:21,280 --> 00:33:22,920 Speaker 1: go over the middle. Now, I don't know if that 624 00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:25,880 Speaker 1: changes after he got jacked up on that pass that 625 00:33:26,120 --> 00:33:31,880 Speaker 1: shouldn't have been thrown. Uh, but you know yesterday we 626 00:33:31,960 --> 00:33:34,120 Speaker 1: have to we have to see, I mean, we have 627 00:33:34,240 --> 00:33:37,720 Speaker 1: to see. There's three more preseason games to go. Lance 628 00:33:37,800 --> 00:33:42,200 Speaker 1: Lenora was all Frisco, right, yea or Valley Ranch wherever 629 00:33:42,240 --> 00:33:44,840 Speaker 1: he first started. Yeah, and then the lights came on 630 00:33:44,920 --> 00:33:48,240 Speaker 1: and no, he shrunk yeah, uh to the point where 631 00:33:48,280 --> 00:33:51,120 Speaker 1: they waived him injured and you know, and he reverts 632 00:33:51,120 --> 00:33:53,800 Speaker 1: back to the to the injured reserve list because he 633 00:33:53,800 --> 00:33:56,720 Speaker 1: cleared waivers. Is there another position that we're going to 634 00:33:56,800 --> 00:33:58,640 Speaker 1: be talking about that's similar to what we're doing with 635 00:33:58,720 --> 00:34:02,040 Speaker 1: wide receiver? Yeah, Defense, the defensive line. We talked about 636 00:34:02,040 --> 00:34:04,320 Speaker 1: linebacker too though, right or is that just clear cut? 637 00:34:04,400 --> 00:34:06,920 Speaker 1: I think I think that's over. You're calling that you're 638 00:34:07,120 --> 00:34:11,200 Speaker 1: you're waving. It depends how many they're gonna keep. Seven. Well, 639 00:34:11,280 --> 00:34:16,240 Speaker 1: they could six, So then you would have Covington and 640 00:34:16,239 --> 00:34:24,080 Speaker 1: and and and March. Those would be the three guys Covington, March, 641 00:34:24,440 --> 00:34:29,560 Speaker 1: and and and Gifford. And I got this feeling Gifford's 642 00:34:29,600 --> 00:34:35,279 Speaker 1: on this team. Mickey has a gut feeling get defensive 643 00:34:35,280 --> 00:34:39,120 Speaker 1: line is still fascinating to me because we were talking 644 00:34:39,120 --> 00:34:41,759 Speaker 1: about it just sitting out of practice today or yesterday. 645 00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:44,520 Speaker 1: There's guys that are showing up that you kind of 646 00:34:44,560 --> 00:34:47,160 Speaker 1: know aren't gonna make it because there's just not enough 647 00:34:47,239 --> 00:34:50,400 Speaker 1: room at the end. But like the second team defensive 648 00:34:50,440 --> 00:34:56,799 Speaker 1: line yesterday was all rookies. Yeah, it was Jelkes, uh, 649 00:34:57,080 --> 00:35:01,240 Speaker 1: why Walker and Joe Jackson. And that's not even counting 650 00:35:01,239 --> 00:35:04,000 Speaker 1: Tristan Hill who was getting first team reps with Malik 651 00:35:04,080 --> 00:35:06,400 Speaker 1: taking a rest day. So I mean they have a 652 00:35:06,400 --> 00:35:08,959 Speaker 1: lot of decisions to make up front there. And and 653 00:35:09,120 --> 00:35:13,280 Speaker 1: don't go to sleep on Christian, Yeah, Christian Christian Christian Covington, 654 00:35:13,320 --> 00:35:15,279 Speaker 1: who's gotten some first team reps on the nickel right, 655 00:35:15,320 --> 00:35:18,680 Speaker 1: he did as a pass rusher, see this is where 656 00:35:18,760 --> 00:35:20,920 Speaker 1: and he did have I think four tackles in that 657 00:35:20,960 --> 00:35:24,040 Speaker 1: game by the way. Okay, another question for Mickey that 658 00:35:24,040 --> 00:35:27,360 Speaker 1: he's gonna say it's too early, while it is too early, okay, 659 00:35:27,400 --> 00:35:31,279 Speaker 1: But if it's too early for okay, what position of 660 00:35:31,280 --> 00:35:34,040 Speaker 1: the of those of Okay, as we're looking at our team, 661 00:35:34,320 --> 00:35:39,560 Speaker 1: the linebackers, the defensive ends, and the wide receivers, which 662 00:35:39,600 --> 00:35:42,879 Speaker 1: one is going to have the most difficult cuts. It's 663 00:35:42,880 --> 00:35:48,280 Speaker 1: still the defensive line. Yeah, thank you for answering that question, Mickey, 664 00:35:48,560 --> 00:35:51,920 Speaker 1: I agree, do you because because it's sixteen guys in 665 00:35:52,239 --> 00:35:55,680 Speaker 1: a vast majority of them are good enough to make 666 00:35:55,680 --> 00:35:58,440 Speaker 1: an NFL team. So you're gonna you're the likelihood you 667 00:35:58,560 --> 00:36:02,200 Speaker 1: put defensive offensive line out there, they get claimed, right, Yeah, 668 00:36:02,360 --> 00:36:05,279 Speaker 1: especially offensive lineman. Yeah. So all of a sudden, now 669 00:36:05,320 --> 00:36:07,799 Speaker 1: you're looking at these guys, you're saying, Okay, if we 670 00:36:08,560 --> 00:36:11,160 Speaker 1: mess around here and keep an extra wide receiver, that 671 00:36:11,200 --> 00:36:12,799 Speaker 1: means we might have to put an extra line. Okay, 672 00:36:12,840 --> 00:36:16,680 Speaker 1: so let's do it this way. M Carrie Hyder I 673 00:36:16,719 --> 00:36:19,120 Speaker 1: talked to Rod Marnelly about him yesterday. He was really 674 00:36:19,160 --> 00:36:21,799 Speaker 1: excited about him, and in a way that I didn't 675 00:36:21,840 --> 00:36:24,359 Speaker 1: think he would be. That Joe Jackson. He's excited about 676 00:36:24,400 --> 00:36:28,239 Speaker 1: Joe jack and the and the and the head owner. Yeah, 677 00:36:28,360 --> 00:36:30,719 Speaker 1: keeps bringing his name, the owner, general manager. Yeah, that's 678 00:36:30,760 --> 00:36:33,560 Speaker 1: usually pretty good. Sime. Robert Quinn's in. Yeah. Then you 679 00:36:33,640 --> 00:36:38,560 Speaker 1: got Daniel Wise, Shakier Soto and Ricky Walker, who two 680 00:36:38,600 --> 00:36:41,279 Speaker 1: of those guys are kind of stepping out saying you 681 00:36:41,360 --> 00:36:44,080 Speaker 1: put Ricky Walker out on the street from Virginia Tech. 682 00:36:44,520 --> 00:36:46,640 Speaker 1: Someone's gonna go back and look at their college scouting 683 00:36:46,719 --> 00:36:48,400 Speaker 1: report and say, man, maybe we were wrong about that, 684 00:36:48,480 --> 00:36:50,480 Speaker 1: but you look at the numbers right now and you're like, 685 00:36:50,480 --> 00:36:52,239 Speaker 1: how do you do it? Oh? No, I know, I 686 00:36:52,320 --> 00:36:55,920 Speaker 1: know that's give Will McClay in that group finished, Jalen 687 00:36:56,040 --> 00:37:03,000 Speaker 1: Jelks see talent, that's practice squad, so practiced. It makes 688 00:37:03,120 --> 00:37:07,120 Speaker 1: Lawrence Armstrong makes it Daniel Ross be able to be careful. 689 00:37:07,280 --> 00:37:08,920 Speaker 1: I think Daniel Ross has got one foot in the 690 00:37:08,960 --> 00:37:12,279 Speaker 1: parking lot much. Christian Covington. I think he's impressing. Yeah, 691 00:37:12,400 --> 00:37:16,040 Speaker 1: you know, he got MALIEK. Collins, Charlton, Crawford, and Woods. 692 00:37:16,400 --> 00:37:19,919 Speaker 1: So that's a that's that's ten. It's really you could 693 00:37:20,200 --> 00:37:23,440 Speaker 1: you could really keep twelve. Yeah yeah, see I think 694 00:37:23,480 --> 00:37:25,560 Speaker 1: they keep ten. So you just named twelve out of 695 00:37:25,640 --> 00:37:27,719 Speaker 1: sixteen that are you think are good enough to make 696 00:37:27,760 --> 00:37:30,560 Speaker 1: this y yea yeah, yeah, that's the guy that you mean. 697 00:37:30,600 --> 00:37:33,360 Speaker 1: You gotta hope, but you're gonna just know this. You 698 00:37:33,400 --> 00:37:36,880 Speaker 1: put guys like Walker out there, he's gonna be gone 699 00:37:36,960 --> 00:37:39,600 Speaker 1: because people will go back. Though he played well enough 700 00:37:39,640 --> 00:37:42,000 Speaker 1: that San Francisco game, He's probably gonna play well against 701 00:37:42,040 --> 00:37:44,960 Speaker 1: the Rams and their backup offensive lineman. You know, he's 702 00:37:44,960 --> 00:37:47,239 Speaker 1: gonna show again, and then he's gonna get to play 703 00:37:47,280 --> 00:37:49,640 Speaker 1: the whole game against Tampa at the end of the 704 00:37:49,719 --> 00:37:52,600 Speaker 1: year or the end of the preseason, and then he'll 705 00:37:52,600 --> 00:37:54,799 Speaker 1: probably show up at that and it's gonna be well, 706 00:37:54,800 --> 00:37:57,160 Speaker 1: can we let him go? And it's like, no, we can't. 707 00:37:57,160 --> 00:37:59,160 Speaker 1: And then you know, now we have to figure out, Okay, 708 00:37:59,239 --> 00:38:01,720 Speaker 1: who else you gonna what veteran guy? I'll tell another 709 00:38:01,760 --> 00:38:04,720 Speaker 1: position to keep an eye on, is safety. I don't think. 710 00:38:04,760 --> 00:38:07,280 Speaker 1: I don't think that. I don't think that Cabon Frasier's 711 00:38:07,320 --> 00:38:10,640 Speaker 1: safe here. I don't think Cabon Frasier's safe. And who's 712 00:38:10,680 --> 00:38:13,000 Speaker 1: taking his spot? I think the young man from Texas 713 00:38:13,040 --> 00:38:18,240 Speaker 1: As Wilson. Yeah, absolutely. I think do they love Thompson. 714 00:38:18,360 --> 00:38:21,400 Speaker 1: They will. They rave about Thompson. Oh he's so smart, 715 00:38:21,480 --> 00:38:25,000 Speaker 1: he could do this. Thompson, Darren Thompson. They rave about him. 716 00:38:25,440 --> 00:38:28,000 Speaker 1: But I think that I think that if you talk 717 00:38:28,040 --> 00:38:30,560 Speaker 1: about a veteran that might be in trouble, you know, 718 00:38:30,760 --> 00:38:33,400 Speaker 1: maybe veterans are in trouble. At wide receiver Tavon Austin, 719 00:38:33,440 --> 00:38:35,600 Speaker 1: maybe he's in trouble. Maybe he is, maybe he's not. 720 00:38:36,000 --> 00:38:39,320 Speaker 1: Chris Covington, linebacker, maybe he's in trouble, maybe he's not. Well, 721 00:38:39,360 --> 00:38:43,680 Speaker 1: if you look at the defensive backs, I'll give you 722 00:38:43,719 --> 00:38:48,520 Speaker 1: the if you're including Thompson, yes, okay, as the givens, right, Thompson, 723 00:38:48,680 --> 00:38:53,959 Speaker 1: count him up, Oouzier, Woods, Jordan Lewis, Anthony Brown, Byron Jones. 724 00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:58,480 Speaker 1: How we got already the five? You guys were supposed 725 00:38:58,520 --> 00:39:05,600 Speaker 1: to count one? I thought you were okay, Yeah, that's six, 726 00:39:05,680 --> 00:39:11,200 Speaker 1: six okay, okay, and then and then and then uh 727 00:39:11,320 --> 00:39:14,920 Speaker 1: Jeff Heath seven, So that's seven. And now you got 728 00:39:15,040 --> 00:39:19,960 Speaker 1: maybe three spots, Yeah, why not for Donovan Wilson, Mike 729 00:39:20,080 --> 00:39:27,759 Speaker 1: Jackson Senior? And then uh, good one alumba okay, and 730 00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:30,080 Speaker 1: I'll throw a lumba in there. So yeah, there's four 731 00:39:30,239 --> 00:39:34,640 Speaker 1: to fit into three. I'm not sure about um what 732 00:39:35,040 --> 00:39:37,839 Speaker 1: they think of C. J. Goodwin good special teams players? Yeah, 733 00:39:37,840 --> 00:39:39,480 Speaker 1: see they'll tell you that. And then, Nicky, you made 734 00:39:39,520 --> 00:39:41,160 Speaker 1: up a great point that if I was in a 735 00:39:41,239 --> 00:39:44,000 Speaker 1: draft room arguing, I would say, why do we have 736 00:39:44,040 --> 00:39:47,160 Speaker 1: all these special teams guys? We punt, We kicked the 737 00:39:47,200 --> 00:39:50,120 Speaker 1: ball out of the end zone. We punt to the sideline. 738 00:39:50,200 --> 00:39:52,920 Speaker 1: I did include Frazier in that. In that That's what 739 00:39:53,000 --> 00:39:56,840 Speaker 1: I said yesterday. How many specialty guys can you? Yeah? Yeah, 740 00:39:56,880 --> 00:39:59,080 Speaker 1: I mean you're keeping one at wide receiver that hadn't 741 00:39:59,120 --> 00:40:02,160 Speaker 1: practiced the whole ye, right, if that's what you want 742 00:40:02,160 --> 00:40:05,359 Speaker 1: to call him. Man, that's pretty his primary roles. He's 743 00:40:05,400 --> 00:40:07,799 Speaker 1: been a blocker. He can catch an occasional pass out 744 00:40:07,840 --> 00:40:10,960 Speaker 1: for you. But yeah, I mean he's I'm not trying 745 00:40:11,000 --> 00:40:12,640 Speaker 1: to make Mickey's point, but I'm just saying he's not 746 00:40:12,760 --> 00:40:14,600 Speaker 1: there you are, Yeah, Okay, there's gonna be Do you 747 00:40:14,640 --> 00:40:16,640 Speaker 1: think there's gonna be three guys on this roster that 748 00:40:16,680 --> 00:40:19,640 Speaker 1: we're gonna go? What do you think? Or do you 749 00:40:19,640 --> 00:40:21,879 Speaker 1: think we got that thing covered with what we just did? Well? 750 00:40:21,920 --> 00:40:24,720 Speaker 1: I think the what's would be if Gifford makes it injured, 751 00:40:25,360 --> 00:40:28,759 Speaker 1: Govern's gonna make it injured. Uh. And and you know 752 00:40:28,960 --> 00:40:32,600 Speaker 1: at this point, if you have to shave, you're gonna go. 753 00:40:33,320 --> 00:40:35,839 Speaker 1: I don't know if it's yeah, yeah, you're gonna go 754 00:40:35,920 --> 00:40:40,280 Speaker 1: two quarterbacks and and and then um the offensive line 755 00:40:40,480 --> 00:40:43,759 Speaker 1: after eight. I don't see where nine and ten is eight. 756 00:40:44,800 --> 00:40:47,840 Speaker 1: You could, but you don't want, especially with Zach situation. 757 00:40:48,040 --> 00:40:52,800 Speaker 1: Is McGovern your eighth lineman, he's nine, He's nine. Okay. 758 00:40:52,880 --> 00:40:56,320 Speaker 1: I think you have to cover yourself with Sue Philo. Okay, 759 00:40:56,440 --> 00:41:01,279 Speaker 1: because Redmond Looney, Yeah yeah, okay, yeah, that's your eight. 760 00:41:01,680 --> 00:41:04,520 Speaker 1: Get five with the eight, with the threes eight and 761 00:41:04,719 --> 00:41:07,160 Speaker 1: McGovern is nine. Yeah, I think that's and then I'm 762 00:41:07,160 --> 00:41:11,680 Speaker 1: not sure you got ten. Who's the next guy. I 763 00:41:11,680 --> 00:41:14,399 Speaker 1: would rather keep an extra defensive lineman then I would 764 00:41:14,400 --> 00:41:16,320 Speaker 1: an extra offense. Yeah, maybe you can get away with that. 765 00:41:16,600 --> 00:41:18,959 Speaker 1: Those guys will go to the practice war because you've 766 00:41:19,000 --> 00:41:21,960 Speaker 1: got you mentioned Looney, and there's some flex there, so 767 00:41:21,960 --> 00:41:23,560 Speaker 1: maybe you can get away with going to one extra. 768 00:41:24,600 --> 00:41:26,680 Speaker 1: Rob just told me though, if I put offensive linemen 769 00:41:26,719 --> 00:41:29,000 Speaker 1: out there, they get claimed. We have two and a 770 00:41:29,080 --> 00:41:33,160 Speaker 1: half more weeks of practice. Yeah, it's fun. Somebody else 771 00:41:33,239 --> 00:41:35,920 Speaker 1: I'm gonna get hurt.

Yeah, but we're those 863 00:46:42,640 --> 00:46:45,320 Speaker 1: two come real fast. The last two come real fast. 864 00:46:45,440 --> 00:46:47,759 Speaker 1: But we segment this right. We're a Knox Snard right 865 00:46:47,840 --> 00:46:50,160 Speaker 1: now and we're about to not be so. But we 866 00:46:50,239 --> 00:46:52,359 Speaker 1: still got a week of training camp, actually a week 867 00:46:52,400 --> 00:46:54,839 Speaker 1: and a half, right, Rob, I'm with you on this game. 868 00:46:54,960 --> 00:46:56,640 Speaker 1: Go ahead, what do you got I'll put my name 869 00:46:56,680 --> 00:46:58,840 Speaker 1: on it. Give me the best player you've seen on offense? 870 00:46:59,120 --> 00:47:02,680 Speaker 1: Here a Knox narc for him? Oh wow, best player 871 00:47:02,920 --> 00:47:07,840 Speaker 1: on off Okay, skill guy, Robber or anybody, anybody, lineman whatever. 872 00:47:08,000 --> 00:47:12,520 Speaker 1: The quarterback, why, I just think he's had a really 873 00:47:12,520 --> 00:47:17,560 Speaker 1: good camp and he I like the way he's driving 874 00:47:17,600 --> 00:47:21,200 Speaker 1: the football when he wants to throw it down the seam. 875 00:47:21,400 --> 00:47:26,120 Speaker 1: His feet footwork is feetwork on footwork is really good, 876 00:47:26,160 --> 00:47:30,000 Speaker 1: and he's really getting his legs into the throw. And 877 00:47:30,040 --> 00:47:34,320 Speaker 1: that's what he's got to concentrate on consistently driving the football, 878 00:47:34,640 --> 00:47:37,520 Speaker 1: and you drive the football with your legs, not your arm. 879 00:47:37,640 --> 00:47:40,840 Speaker 1: Tyron Smith. Yeah, I just feel like that. Tyren Smith. 880 00:47:40,880 --> 00:47:43,919 Speaker 1: If you know, if if the Good Lord allows him 881 00:47:44,000 --> 00:47:47,320 Speaker 1: to stay healthy the entire year, he's back to that level. 882 00:47:47,360 --> 00:47:51,520 Speaker 1: I'm starting to You see the power, you see the mobility, 883 00:47:51,600 --> 00:47:55,040 Speaker 1: the agility, the just the nastiness in which he plays. 884 00:47:55,400 --> 00:47:58,319 Speaker 1: It doesn't matter. They've tried to throw young guy, old guy. 885 00:47:58,400 --> 00:48:01,760 Speaker 1: He Robert Quinn is a quality rusher. He beat Robert 886 00:48:01,840 --> 00:48:04,640 Speaker 1: Quinn up. Robert Quinn I think has the utmost respect 887 00:48:04,640 --> 00:48:07,279 Speaker 1: for him now going against him every day. But they've 888 00:48:07,280 --> 00:48:09,480 Speaker 1: thrown a lot at Tyron Smith and they've given him 889 00:48:09,520 --> 00:48:11,799 Speaker 1: some veteran days hopefully to kind of get him. Just 890 00:48:11,800 --> 00:48:13,799 Speaker 1: don't need him in week six to wake up and 891 00:48:13,840 --> 00:48:16,840 Speaker 1: feel miserable with a back, because he is he is 892 00:48:17,280 --> 00:48:20,280 Speaker 1: of the of like the top three type players. He's 893 00:48:20,360 --> 00:48:22,319 Speaker 1: either one or two for me, Right, these guys are 894 00:48:22,320 --> 00:48:26,120 Speaker 1: gonna start having Tyron Smith flew. Yeah, I'm not the 895 00:48:26,200 --> 00:48:28,719 Speaker 1: next one in line. Oh, Tristan Tristan Hill said that. 896 00:48:28,719 --> 00:48:31,160 Speaker 1: I interviewed Triston Hill and I said, I said, What's 897 00:48:31,160 --> 00:48:33,120 Speaker 1: what are you excited about. You know, it's a terrible question, 898 00:48:33,120 --> 00:48:35,680 Speaker 1: but what are you excited about the forty nine er game? 899 00:48:35,680 --> 00:48:38,640 Speaker 1: He says, I don't have to go against Tyron Smith anymore. Yeah. 900 00:48:38,760 --> 00:48:41,480 Speaker 1: That that that's that's what. That's how he thinks. I'm 901 00:48:41,480 --> 00:48:45,240 Speaker 1: with you on Tyro and I'll gallop honorable mention. Gallop 902 00:48:45,400 --> 00:48:48,359 Speaker 1: is but that's a very good get good break out 903 00:48:48,440 --> 00:48:50,839 Speaker 1: player of the year. So he kind of broke out 904 00:48:50,880 --> 00:48:53,600 Speaker 1: the second half last year. Yeah, but he's doing better. 905 00:48:53,760 --> 00:48:56,160 Speaker 1: It's not just everything's not just totally vertical now with 906 00:48:56,320 --> 00:48:59,800 Speaker 1: right there's stuff that you see inside and he's running 907 00:49:00,200 --> 00:49:03,160 Speaker 1: smooth route, catches the ball that every time. That ball 908 00:49:03,239 --> 00:49:05,640 Speaker 1: he caught in the back of the end zone yesterday, 909 00:49:05,680 --> 00:49:07,359 Speaker 1: I don't know how he caught it because I thought 910 00:49:07,400 --> 00:49:09,200 Speaker 1: it was going to be intercepted, so he couldn't have 911 00:49:09,239 --> 00:49:11,560 Speaker 1: seen it into his hands. Jason Witten had one too 912 00:49:11,600 --> 00:49:16,120 Speaker 1: yet and yeah behind his back. Just Witten just threw 913 00:49:16,160 --> 00:49:17,640 Speaker 1: his right hand up in the air and it went 914 00:49:17,680 --> 00:49:20,160 Speaker 1: into his hand. That's I mean, but that's guys that 915 00:49:20,200 --> 00:49:23,200 Speaker 1: could catch the ball through that guy thinks. Actually, he's 916 00:49:23,200 --> 00:49:26,279 Speaker 1: been pretty good. He's been very good. He's I think 917 00:49:26,320 --> 00:49:27,600 Speaker 1: a lot of people if they were out here with 918 00:49:27,680 --> 00:49:29,960 Speaker 1: us every single day, would be shocked at how well 919 00:49:30,000 --> 00:49:33,080 Speaker 1: he's practicing now. I think a lot of the evaluation 920 00:49:33,120 --> 00:49:35,759 Speaker 1: then will come down to can he block the way 921 00:49:36,239 --> 00:49:38,279 Speaker 1: he used to when he was younger. They ran a 922 00:49:38,280 --> 00:49:42,440 Speaker 1: couple of plays yesterday where he does enough now that 923 00:49:42,440 --> 00:49:45,520 Speaker 1: ball gets to the touchdown. The touchdown that they had 924 00:49:45,520 --> 00:49:49,320 Speaker 1: where they pulled uh they pulled uh, Suephilo and was 925 00:49:49,520 --> 00:49:53,080 Speaker 1: Pollard Pollard ran in untouched. Yeah, that's a cave down. 926 00:49:53,200 --> 00:49:56,759 Speaker 1: That's a cave from Looney, a cave from Collins, a 927 00:49:56,880 --> 00:50:00,200 Speaker 1: cave from witten Poe. They secure the edge, They get 928 00:50:00,200 --> 00:50:02,640 Speaker 1: the guys in the outside ball up inside, and he 929 00:50:02,800 --> 00:50:06,600 Speaker 1: and from your tight end. You're not looking for pancakes. 930 00:50:06,640 --> 00:50:09,600 Speaker 1: You're looking for a guy just to shield off up, 931 00:50:09,680 --> 00:50:12,080 Speaker 1: shield him off. You don't have to put somebody on 932 00:50:12,120 --> 00:50:14,719 Speaker 1: the ground and and you know, and that's one of 933 00:50:14,800 --> 00:50:16,880 Speaker 1: the things those young guys still I think they have 934 00:50:16,960 --> 00:50:20,719 Speaker 1: to improve. Jarwin and Schultz, for sure. Schultz got better 935 00:50:20,800 --> 00:50:23,279 Speaker 1: towards the end of show yere. Uh. Now they're both 936 00:50:23,320 --> 00:50:25,680 Speaker 1: banged up, but you need them back because if you 937 00:50:25,719 --> 00:50:28,359 Speaker 1: saw what they were doing, they started putting Looney out 938 00:50:28,400 --> 00:50:32,440 Speaker 1: there in too tight end because those guys they just 939 00:50:32,480 --> 00:50:36,399 Speaker 1: got I'm sure McIlroy's not a who's ever asked him 940 00:50:36,400 --> 00:50:40,760 Speaker 1: to block? And uh Marcus, Yeah, but let me tell you, Lucy, 941 00:50:41,400 --> 00:50:42,920 Speaker 1: he's not a block. Let me tell you what is 942 00:50:42,960 --> 00:50:46,960 Speaker 1: there is there a player that's grown more since OTAs 943 00:50:47,040 --> 00:50:53,560 Speaker 1: to where we are today. Think Cody McElroy has made 944 00:50:53,640 --> 00:50:57,320 Speaker 1: himself a legitimate practice squad player. He caught that pass 945 00:50:57,440 --> 00:50:59,840 Speaker 1: and ran. Yes, yeah, yeah, I think I ran. I 946 00:51:00,080 --> 00:51:04,040 Speaker 1: walked by Todd and very sarcastically said, yeah, that guy 947 00:51:04,080 --> 00:51:07,440 Speaker 1: reminds me of Rico. He's he's Rico two point zero. 948 00:51:08,200 --> 00:51:11,080 Speaker 1: He's and he's much better. He's much better, not even 949 00:51:11,120 --> 00:51:13,319 Speaker 1: in the same clock. I'll take Ricky Walker in that 950 00:51:13,360 --> 00:51:16,400 Speaker 1: category of the most improved gay. Yeah, that's on the 951 00:51:16,400 --> 00:51:18,160 Speaker 1: mail bag right now. Actually, who you get that guy? 952 00:51:18,200 --> 00:51:22,040 Speaker 1: They have him playing defensive end Ricky. Yes, they'll kick 953 00:51:22,120 --> 00:51:24,120 Speaker 1: him inside. Mary Nelly knows what I'm playing all over. 954 00:51:24,320 --> 00:51:26,880 Speaker 1: They're gonna they're just Mary Nelly's gonna put these guys 955 00:51:27,120 --> 00:51:29,879 Speaker 1: in position to shine. He will the Rams game. You'll 956 00:51:29,880 --> 00:51:31,719 Speaker 1: see him play more of a natural position. So now 957 00:51:31,880 --> 00:51:35,839 Speaker 1: Ricky Walker is the flavor, not Daniel Wise they're both 958 00:51:35,920 --> 00:51:38,200 Speaker 1: been good. But but but I noticed the game. Well 959 00:51:38,239 --> 00:51:40,560 Speaker 1: the other day I noticed Daniel Wise more in the 960 00:51:40,600 --> 00:51:43,480 Speaker 1: off season than I did Ricky Walker and Walker, Yeah, 961 00:51:43,520 --> 00:51:46,840 Speaker 1: I didn't power Ricky Walker's guy. I started memorizing numbers 962 00:51:47,000 --> 00:51:49,520 Speaker 1: to do the Blue White, and I was like, I 963 00:51:49,520 --> 00:51:51,200 Speaker 1: don't need to worry about those two. I mean, he 964 00:51:51,239 --> 00:51:53,319 Speaker 1: had He's had three sacks in the last two days. 965 00:51:53,360 --> 00:51:55,400 Speaker 1: I know wouldn't be sacks. And then but who's he 966 00:51:55,480 --> 00:51:57,400 Speaker 1: going up? I don't care. He showed up in the 967 00:51:57,440 --> 00:51:59,400 Speaker 1: other games, going up against a bunch of guys that 968 00:51:59,520 --> 00:52:02,680 Speaker 1: aren't going to make the practice squad, so he better 969 00:52:02,760 --> 00:52:05,760 Speaker 1: do it in the games fair enough? All right? Uh defense, 970 00:52:05,920 --> 00:52:13,080 Speaker 1: best player you've seen defensively quickly, best player defensively that's 971 00:52:13,120 --> 00:52:18,080 Speaker 1: not quickly Xavier Woods, Xavier Woods, Xavier Woods or either him. 972 00:52:18,080 --> 00:52:22,200 Speaker 1: I was going go the corner, Cheeto. Cheeto has been 973 00:52:22,239 --> 00:52:25,600 Speaker 1: awfully good. Cheeto. I'll go Malik Collins. All those guys 974 00:52:25,640 --> 00:52:27,920 Speaker 1: have really good I don't I don't think that we 975 00:52:27,920 --> 00:52:31,759 Speaker 1: should have picked five. Yeah, yeah, I don't think you're 976 00:52:31,760 --> 00:52:34,520 Speaker 1: wrong about Malik College. Yeah, because you're I mean that one. 977 00:52:34,680 --> 00:52:36,680 Speaker 1: But I was thinking about, Okay, the dominant you've ever 978 00:52:36,800 --> 00:52:39,120 Speaker 1: seen knockdown ball? Yeah, they were, they were. The linemen 979 00:52:39,160 --> 00:52:42,200 Speaker 1: were grateful he wasn't practicing yesterday. Yeah, they they're like, oh, 980 00:52:42,440 --> 00:52:46,120 Speaker 1: day off, thank you. All right. Last one, biggest question 981 00:52:46,200 --> 00:52:49,319 Speaker 1: you've got as they continue camp in preseason, what are 982 00:52:49,320 --> 00:52:54,800 Speaker 1: you still uncertain about the most the kicker? Kicker? Kicker kicker, 983 00:52:56,000 --> 00:52:58,439 Speaker 1: and only because there's no well, I don't think there's 984 00:52:58,440 --> 00:53:00,680 Speaker 1: any alternatives out there. I think they're getting ready to 985 00:53:00,800 --> 00:53:03,040 Speaker 1: have a big workout. But yeah, and that's fine to 986 00:53:03,080 --> 00:53:05,879 Speaker 1: bring them in. But if those guys are out there 987 00:53:06,200 --> 00:53:11,239 Speaker 1: at this point, how good they can be? When the 988 00:53:11,360 --> 00:53:14,840 Speaker 1: Vikings had to use a fifth round, no question to 989 00:53:14,960 --> 00:53:19,560 Speaker 1: trade for one question, because they're still worried about Dan Bailey. Yeah, 990 00:53:19,600 --> 00:53:21,160 Speaker 1: and so if you got a trade for one on 991 00:53:21,200 --> 00:53:25,560 Speaker 1: another team, you would rather bring in a free agent? Right? Well, 992 00:53:25,840 --> 00:53:30,120 Speaker 1: Casey Redfern kicked yesterday. We'll see if Brett Mohurt kicks today. 993 00:53:30,320 --> 00:53:34,399 Speaker 1: Redford wins six of six finally, no, no, four of six? 994 00:53:34,480 --> 00:53:40,359 Speaker 1: Ye excuse me, h, Yeah, he's done. Okay, if we 995 00:53:40,400 --> 00:53:44,080 Speaker 1: had to cut the seventy five, he's gone. All right, Well, 996 00:53:44,239 --> 00:53:48,120 Speaker 1: thank you guys so much for joining us.
