37
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:29,560
Speaker 1: pulling double duty obviously when the when the schedule release

38
00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:33,119
Speaker 1: came out, I'm talking about you pulling double duty being

39
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:37,519
Speaker 1: excited about the schedule release. And I'm also calling softball. It. Yeah,

40
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:39,880
Speaker 1: I know. You and I were on a softball call

41
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:44,480
Speaker 1: at for ESPN and the Conference USA Championships and we

42
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:46,400
Speaker 1: were just sitting there. We were both on our phones

43
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:49,200
Speaker 1: like looking at the looking at the schedule and what

44
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:51,760
Speaker 1: was it? What was going on? So it was double duty.

45
00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:53,960
Speaker 1: Luckily no double duty today, we can give you the

46
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:56,919
Speaker 1: full rundown of the schedule. Let's start with the first

47
00:02:57,080 --> 00:03:00,320
Speaker 1: five games because in those first five games games you

48
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:02,040
Speaker 1: face three teams that have been to the Super Bowl

49
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:05,240
Speaker 1: in the last two years. Tampa Bay to Week one,

50
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:09,040
Speaker 1: open things out against the Buccaneers Sunday Night Football on NBC,

51
00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:12,400
Speaker 1: followed by the Cincinnati Bengals Joe Burrow and company come

52
00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:16,720
Speaker 1: to town. Jamar Chase versus Treyvon Digs. That will be fun.

53
00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:19,440
Speaker 1: Of course, those two had their fair share of battles

54
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:22,280
Speaker 1: in college ball. Then you go on the road to

55
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:26,120
Speaker 1: face the Giants for Monday Night Football, back home against Washington,

56
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:29,280
Speaker 1: and then back on the road against the Rams. Three

57
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:31,720
Speaker 1: home games in the first five but two of those

58
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:34,560
Speaker 1: three against Super Bowl teams from the last two years.

59
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:38,440
Speaker 1: You've got two the last two Super Bowl champions in town. Isaiah.

60
00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:40,560
Speaker 1: When you first looked at the schedule and the start

61
00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:43,240
Speaker 1: that the Cowboys are faced up against. What were your thoughts?

62
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:46,040
Speaker 1: Somebody doesn't like the Cowboys. They're trying to get them

63
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:52,840
Speaker 1: yet even with this second easiest schedule, jogging about you

64
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:55,480
Speaker 1: know thirty first, I don't give a dog on about

65
00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:57,120
Speaker 1: all that. Listen here, you got Tampa. I know we

66
00:03:57,160 --> 00:03:59,200
Speaker 1: said first five games, but the first six games is

67
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:02,240
Speaker 1: really the threat. Okay, Okay, you got tam Bay Buccaneers,

68
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:04,640
Speaker 1: we know what they are. Okay, you got dog On Bengals,

69
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:06,440
Speaker 1: who just went to the Super Bowl and by the way,

70
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:09,480
Speaker 1: they just got better this offseason substantially up upfront, okay

71
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:12,080
Speaker 1: where they were a week at Then obviously you got

72
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:14,120
Speaker 1: New York can Washington, Okay, cool, those are always going

73
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:16,000
Speaker 1: to be, you know, competitive games. But then you got

74
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:18,080
Speaker 1: LA and then you got a Philly that's revamped and

75
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:21,080
Speaker 1: they're they're shooting their shot this year. So four of

76
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:24,440
Speaker 1: those six games I feel like are gonna be pretty

77
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:28,400
Speaker 1: dog on tough, pretty dog on tough two obvious for

78
00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:30,919
Speaker 1: three of them, obviously because they've all been to the

79
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:32,960
Speaker 1: show here in the past few years. And then obviously

80
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:35,479
Speaker 1: you got Philly and we know that they've revamped, and

81
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:37,960
Speaker 1: that they're they're pretty much taking a shot directly at

82
00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:39,839
Speaker 1: the Cowboys, trying to trying to get them where they're

83
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:42,360
Speaker 1: weak at in terms of loading up this offseason. So

84
00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:45,160
Speaker 1: four of those six are gonna be rough, man. I mean,

85
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:47,040
Speaker 1: obviously we have a long way to go. All that

86
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:49,040
Speaker 1: kind of jazz we got OTAs, we got, We've got

87
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:53,240
Speaker 1: many cams, we got regular camp, we got preseason, we

88
00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:56,640
Speaker 1: got all that jazz. Okay, however, these there are there

89
00:04:56,680 --> 00:05:00,120
Speaker 1: are three out of those six teams that are arguable.

90
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:02,960
Speaker 1: There's no question no matter what team you go against,

91
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:04,880
Speaker 1: all right, but what team you ask, you know that

92
00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:07,080
Speaker 1: those guys can play ball. So Bucks, Bengals and Rams

93
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:09,719
Speaker 1: absolutely off top off top. Yeah, and then the other

94
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:13,520
Speaker 1: three are divisional opponents too. It's always gonna be competitive.

95
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:15,360
Speaker 1: So one of the weird things that I do at

96
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:17,280
Speaker 1: the end of every season, because that's when they start

97
00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:19,440
Speaker 1: releasing not the schedule, but the team's your opponents for

98
00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:21,480
Speaker 1: the next season at home. In a way, I start,

99
00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:24,280
Speaker 1: I go by, you know, least amount of wins all

100
00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:25,960
Speaker 1: the way down to the win. So you start with

101
00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:29,440
Speaker 1: the Jacksonville's Detroit saying, go all the way down, and

102
00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:32,200
Speaker 1: I started to see started to say, tell myself, all right,

103
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:34,840
Speaker 1: so I can see where you can say, well, this

104
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:38,440
Speaker 1: is an easy schedule, but obviously things change from year

105
00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:41,839
Speaker 1: to year. But once the schedule was released and the

106
00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:44,200
Speaker 1: way that they kind of scrambled and put this together,

107
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:46,600
Speaker 1: I think your opportunities, like you just said, are in

108
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:49,800
Speaker 1: those first six games, three of them NFC East opponents

109
00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:52,599
Speaker 1: as you just mentioned, but also teams that have been there.

110
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:55,080
Speaker 1: There's a large opportunity for this team with all the

111
00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:58,520
Speaker 1: offseason talk, all the things that they've said about the team,

112
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:02,360
Speaker 1: the players that you've needed to replace. That game versus

113
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:06,359
Speaker 1: Tampa could be the measuring stick for your season simply

114
00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:09,400
Speaker 1: because in those first six games you have the Bucks

115
00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:12,400
Speaker 1: and the Rams, and beating those two teams may set

116
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:17,080
Speaker 1: you up for NFC seating. So although the season hadn't

117
00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:19,520
Speaker 1: started yet, and the way that we are starting to

118
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:21,760
Speaker 1: look at the season that playoffs, hey, it's not that

119
00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:24,960
Speaker 1: you can't do a one and done, right. You gotta

120
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:28,239
Speaker 1: go far in this league, and seating in the NFC

121
00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:30,160
Speaker 1: is going to be important right there with those first

122
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:32,840
Speaker 1: six games. So I don't want to say must win

123
00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:36,280
Speaker 1: already sitting there in Senagar in May. But that's as

124
00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:38,480
Speaker 1: close to a must win as you possibly have. Yeah,

125
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:40,800
Speaker 1: at least early in the season, and with an opener

126
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:43,240
Speaker 1: like that. And you saw it last year, the way

127
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:45,680
Speaker 1: that they played against Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay

128
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:47,960
Speaker 1: Buccaneers on the road, when they were raising a banner

129
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:51,520
Speaker 1: that set the tone for the entire season. Then you

130
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:53,960
Speaker 1: rattled off sixth straight. I don't think. I don't know

131
00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:55,960
Speaker 1: if you're gonna see that again this year. There's probably

132
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:59,400
Speaker 1: a good chance that that does not happen. However, there

133
00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:01,720
Speaker 1: is a measure stick, and it's that first six games.

134
00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:04,320
Speaker 1: I keep looking at and I was looking at first five.

135
00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:07,440
Speaker 1: But you threw in Philadelphia on Sunday Night football there

136
00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:10,400
Speaker 1: in October. That's certainly a big game as well. You

137
00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:13,640
Speaker 1: could go through those six games and finish two and four.

138
00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:16,440
Speaker 1: Here's a good chance you go two and four, maybe

139
00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:20,120
Speaker 1: even a three and three if you get lucky. If

140
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:23,680
Speaker 1: you end up going four and two, and you somehow

141
00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:26,680
Speaker 1: work through that and you're above five hundred, you're feeling

142
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:28,880
Speaker 1: really good about the rest of your schedule. Yes, feel

143
00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:31,200
Speaker 1: really good about not only in the division, but in

144
00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:34,200
Speaker 1: the your seating for the NFC in your benchmark test

145
00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:36,960
Speaker 1: that we've talked about all last year, we didn't pass

146
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:39,640
Speaker 1: a single benchmark along the way. You lost almost every

147
00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:41,480
Speaker 1: one of those games. If we want to maybe throw

148
00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:44,040
Speaker 1: the Chargers early on, maybe, but I don't think that

149
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:47,680
Speaker 1: because they weren't a playoff team. That's the same thing

150
00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:50,640
Speaker 1: for these games. Tampa Bay is a benchmark Cincinnati LA,

151
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:52,200
Speaker 1: and then you don't have another one until you go

152
00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:53,880
Speaker 1: on the road in Green Bay a little bit later

153
00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:57,040
Speaker 1: on in the season. So those first six games are

154
00:07:57,200 --> 00:08:00,600
Speaker 1: crucial to set the tone. They're tough or not. I mean,

155
00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:04,280
Speaker 1: she's aren't easy. I don't care what people say about

156
00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:06,720
Speaker 1: the easy versus a hard wreck. I don't give a

157
00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:09,400
Speaker 1: dog on This is last year. That is last year.

158
00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:12,040
Speaker 1: Teams have loaded up since last year. Teams have added

159
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:14,800
Speaker 1: players through the draft, Teams have added players through free agency.

160
00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:17,320
Speaker 1: Teams are not what they were last year. Let's just

161
00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:19,000
Speaker 1: go ahead and lay out on the table. Okay, so

162
00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:20,760
Speaker 1: you can look at last year stats and all that

163
00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:23,200
Speaker 1: jazz all you want to. Coordinators that moved around, head

164
00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:25,840
Speaker 1: coaches have moved around, personnel has moved around. These are

165
00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:28,560
Speaker 1: totally different teams. So yes, there might be core members

166
00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:31,160
Speaker 1: of teams that are still in place. However, there's new

167
00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:33,320
Speaker 1: players there, Okay, so there's gonna be a different look.

168
00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:36,920
Speaker 1: So Tampa is Tampa TV. Twelve's back. Sorry everybody. All right,

169
00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:39,480
Speaker 1: we're gonna have a showdown again from last year. Boom,

170
00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:41,800
Speaker 1: all right, hopefully it goes that goes our way. You know,

171
00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:44,120
Speaker 1: you got the dog on Bengals. Okay, these boys bought

172
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:47,440
Speaker 1: out last year somehow, some way, and their win percentage

173
00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:49,959
Speaker 1: probably brings the win percentage down for the Cowboys a

174
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:52,120
Speaker 1: little bit because they were ten and seven as a

175
00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:54,440
Speaker 1: division champion. They were the four seed in the NFC

176
00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:56,320
Speaker 1: or excuse me, the AFC, and then they go on

177
00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:58,559
Speaker 1: a run. That Bengals team is not a ten and

178
00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:01,319
Speaker 1: seven ball club anymore. A team that's going to win

179
00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:03,719
Speaker 1: twelve thirteen games and they're not going to give and

180
00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:05,360
Speaker 1: they're not gonna give up ten sacks a game. Now,

181
00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:07,400
Speaker 1: you know, with what they did with their offensive line

182
00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:08,920
Speaker 1: this past year, and we knew that was a major

183
00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:11,760
Speaker 1: weakness for them last year. So they addressed the areas

184
00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:13,600
Speaker 1: that they were weak at, and they were weak at

185
00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:15,800
Speaker 1: major weaknesses, and they still found a way to make

186
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:18,080
Speaker 1: it to the dog our superball. Yeah, so there you

187
00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:21,920
Speaker 1: go with that. Giants Okay, Washington, Okay, La. They just

188
00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:24,520
Speaker 1: I don't know how they got through their salary cap bows,

189
00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:28,920
Speaker 1: but they did it. They bent the rules, yeah, exactly,

190
00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:31,760
Speaker 1: and they loaded up even more. Yeah. The thing for

191
00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:34,680
Speaker 1: me is looking is looking at the schedule and seeing

192
00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:37,800
Speaker 1: where the boot Eagles following our schedule, because it's always

193
00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:39,720
Speaker 1: about who we played before and who we play after,

194
00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:42,840
Speaker 1: because that's such a big NFC East matchup for us.

195
00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:44,760
Speaker 1: And you look at where they are, I mean, we

196
00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:49,840
Speaker 1: play the Los Angeles Rams before we go before you know,

197
00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:52,400
Speaker 1: before Philadelphia. Yeah, and then you look later on the

198
00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:56,280
Speaker 1: schedule and we have the Tennessee Titans after we play

199
00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:59,680
Speaker 1: the Philadelphia I mean, and so those are the tough

200
00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:01,600
Speaker 1: parts your schedule, and when when you when you talk

201
00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:03,520
Speaker 1: about you know what's going to be interesting, Where the

202
00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:06,440
Speaker 1: tough patches, where can you be in trouble? We just

203
00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:09,400
Speaker 1: know that those rivalry games, no matter what, they're gonna

204
00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:11,680
Speaker 1: be tough. They're gonna be tough opponents. We're at home,

205
00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:14,800
Speaker 1: then we're away. The travel is always the thing. As

206
00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:17,800
Speaker 1: we've had Mike McCarthy mentioned being the Dallas Cowboys coach

207
00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:20,040
Speaker 1: for his third season getting used to that in the

208
00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:23,600
Speaker 1: amount of prime time games that we're gonna play, Buckle

209
00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:25,880
Speaker 1: up and get ready because this is a schedule that

210
00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:28,040
Speaker 1: is going to that's gonna have a lot of narratives.

211
00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:30,360
Speaker 1: H and it's going to be very intriguing to see

212
00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:33,640
Speaker 1: how this team competes talent wise with what we have

213
00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:35,920
Speaker 1: on the schedule. And when I look at this schedule

214
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:37,880
Speaker 1: in terms of these first six games, right, it's just

215
00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:42,200
Speaker 1: specifically we were weak on the old line last year,

216
00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:44,920
Speaker 1: I feel, right, and we've tried to address that, right

217
00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:47,040
Speaker 1: and we still have some pieces that we're still question that,

218
00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:49,840
Speaker 1: we're still question marks. We're still hopeful all that jazz.

219
00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:52,960
Speaker 1: Look at the defensive lines of these first six teams. Yeah,

220
00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:59,040
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay nasty, Cincinnati nasty. New York beefed it up.

221
00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:01,520
Speaker 1: That made may not be there yet, but they beat

222
00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:07,400
Speaker 1: it up. Washington, Washington nasty, last nasty, Philadelphia super nasty. Yeah. Okay,

223
00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:11,040
Speaker 1: So so no, I agree, we're gonna get tested quickly. Yeah,

224
00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:12,800
Speaker 1: you're gonna figure out what your offense. You gonna figure

225
00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:14,720
Speaker 1: out your old line quickly. So I know everybody's looking

226
00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:17,680
Speaker 1: at the big picture, but in terms of how this

227
00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:19,960
Speaker 1: team rolls. Defense is gonna do what they do, Okay,

228
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:21,839
Speaker 1: they dan Quinn's gonna do what he does. He has

229
00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:24,360
Speaker 1: his personnel there. We're still gonna get places pieces we

230
00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:26,120
Speaker 1: gotta add in there. But those guys, for the most part,

231
00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:28,240
Speaker 1: you know what you're gonna get. Okay, hopefully, hopefully you

232
00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:30,559
Speaker 1: get those turnovers again, chances are you probably won't. But

233
00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:33,120
Speaker 1: he's gonna get pressure and make it difficult for offenses.

234
00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:35,679
Speaker 1: Offensively though, you have to find a way to move

235
00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:37,319
Speaker 1: the ball on the ground, and it's gonna be very

236
00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:39,800
Speaker 1: difficult to do so against dominicun Sue. All right, he's

237
00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:44,360
Speaker 1: not there, Okay, Who's who Cincinnati got on the front line.

238
00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:47,640
Speaker 1: That's and so so I mean, you know what I mean, like, no, no, no,

239
00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:51,079
Speaker 1: to your point, I think that's interesting about the defenses.

240
00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:53,600
Speaker 1: And that's why I say the two people that were

241
00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:55,760
Speaker 1: starting with the one person that the most pressure is

242
00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:58,480
Speaker 1: out on. When I saw the schedule, as dad, yeah,

243
00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:01,120
Speaker 1: I mean you talk about these or six games, this

244
00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:03,600
Speaker 1: is this is it. I mean, this is and I'm

245
00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:05,720
Speaker 1: saying Dak, but I'm also throwing in there and like

246
00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:08,040
Speaker 1: you know, it's Dak's pitching and then there's everybody else

247
00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:11,120
Speaker 1: that's going down on that. It's one of those situations

248
00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:13,760
Speaker 1: where offensively, if you don't start off hot, and it

249
00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:16,360
Speaker 1: doesn't even matter about the excuses that you have for

250
00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:19,320
Speaker 1: guys coming back from injury, nobody wants here. Nobody's gonna

251
00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:21,800
Speaker 1: want to hear that. And that's why the biggest responsibility

252
00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:24,240
Speaker 1: is on DAK. I know that Tampa, a lot of

253
00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:26,199
Speaker 1: teams aren't what they used to be. I mean, you

254
00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:28,679
Speaker 1: just try to mention someone from being from the Bengals defense,

255
00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:30,680
Speaker 1: and I don't think anyone thought of them in the

256
00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:33,360
Speaker 1: in the breath of being a doomsday defense. But once

257
00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:35,160
Speaker 1: you get down to the commanders and we know who

258
00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:38,640
Speaker 1: the rams are those matchups, DAK should be DA should

259
00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:41,000
Speaker 1: be looking at this like a these are opportunities for

260
00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:43,160
Speaker 1: me and the other person I'm thinking about as dan Quinn.

261
00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:46,200
Speaker 1: Dan Quinn is in his second season and although he

262
00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:49,160
Speaker 1: has elevated the defense and we were looking at there's

263
00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:52,040
Speaker 1: the Cowboys are seventh in points allowed. Then it is

264
00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:55,960
Speaker 1: the quintessential bend but don't break style of defense. But

265
00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:58,680
Speaker 1: in his second season, I'm thinking that they are planning

266
00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:01,080
Speaker 1: to play a whole nother style. You can't depend on

267
00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:03,400
Speaker 1: being a defense is going to have the number one

268
00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:06,400
Speaker 1: turnovers or interceptions in the league. That's gonna have to

269
00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:08,800
Speaker 1: be another part of this. You saw last season where

270
00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:11,600
Speaker 1: in the playoffs we could not stop the run. We're

271
00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:14,720
Speaker 1: seeing all the interceptions from our cornerbacks, but also giving

272
00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:17,080
Speaker 1: up a ton of yardage. Those are the things, no

273
00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:19,680
Speaker 1: matter what you do, no matter where you rank, those

274
00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:22,040
Speaker 1: are the things that's gonna bring your defensive numbers down,

275
00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:25,440
Speaker 1: because bring your production down. You can add the bazooka.

276
00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:27,360
Speaker 1: You can ask Sam Williams, you can, you can have

277
00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:29,679
Speaker 1: as many players as you like, but if you're giving

278
00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:31,920
Speaker 1: up that kind of yard you're not going to be successful.

279
00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:35,520
Speaker 1: And the offenses that you go up against early are

280
00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:37,480
Speaker 1: gonna test you. You got to slow down the run

281
00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:40,520
Speaker 1: and you gotta run the ball. That's clear and simple.

282
00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:42,880
Speaker 1: That's the easiest way to solve some of your problems

283
00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:44,760
Speaker 1: is figure out a way to do both of those things.

284
00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:48,160
Speaker 1: And to y'all's point of talking about just how these

285
00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:52,000
Speaker 1: these front sevens at the first six games of the

286
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:55,480
Speaker 1: season are just next level five of them, five of

287
00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:57,760
Speaker 1: the six are in the top ten or we're in

288
00:13:57,800 --> 00:13:59,960
Speaker 1: the top ten last year and rushing yards allowed per game.

289
00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:02,640
Speaker 1: Half of the top ten in the NFL and rushing

290
00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:05,480
Speaker 1: yards allowed per game are on your schedule in the

291
00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:12,000
Speaker 1: first six weeks of the season, Tampa Bay, Cincinnati, La, Washington, Philly.

292
00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:14,199
Speaker 1: You are going to have to run the ball in

293
00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:15,720
Speaker 1: the first half of the season or you may end

294
00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:20,040
Speaker 1: up two and four going into Detroit game in week

295
00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:22,920
Speaker 1: week seven. It really is. Let's talk about the next

296
00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:25,680
Speaker 1: six games on the schedule as well, Detroit and Chicago,

297
00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:28,800
Speaker 1: followed by the bye week, and then you take on

298
00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:32,720
Speaker 1: the other NFC North opponents, Green Bay and Minnesota, both

299
00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:34,640
Speaker 1: on the road, one in Lambeau of course, the other

300
00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:36,320
Speaker 1: one back in Minnesota. How many years in a row

301
00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:38,280
Speaker 1: are we going to play the Vikings on the road

302
00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:41,640
Speaker 1: and we're gonna hear the skull chants in our sleep?

303
00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:46,440
Speaker 1: New York? Is that Thursday, or excuse me, is the

304
00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:50,360
Speaker 1: Thanksgiving game? So we'll stop at the Thanksgiving game? Detroit, Chicago,

305
00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:54,040
Speaker 1: Green Bay, Minnesota, New York a bye week sprinkled in

306
00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:56,600
Speaker 1: between there. Heck, when when you looked at that side

307
00:14:56,640 --> 00:15:00,120
Speaker 1: of the schedule, is that your rebound schedule where you

308
00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:03,000
Speaker 1: you're still facing decent teams you're just not facing the

309
00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:05,320
Speaker 1: upper echelon of the NFL like you do in the

310
00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:07,280
Speaker 1: first six weeks. Yeah, and that's why I said, like

311
00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:09,680
Speaker 1: the first six the hypotheticals there, two and four were

312
00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:12,440
Speaker 1: nightmare for me. If you can split that at least

313
00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:15,080
Speaker 1: see three and three or flip it, you know, I'm

314
00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:17,680
Speaker 1: really I just yeah, flipp it. That's that's being on

315
00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:20,240
Speaker 1: the positive side. But I think this is this is

316
00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:21,840
Speaker 1: the part in the middle of your season where you

317
00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:24,640
Speaker 1: really can't make some ground. But don't be mistaken. I

318
00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:27,640
Speaker 1: mean the Lions, their coach is going to have them

319
00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:31,680
Speaker 1: primed and ready to go. We've seen teams go from

320
00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:34,360
Speaker 1: being a basement level team to putting together two first

321
00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:36,720
Speaker 1: round draft picks. And then do you think the Lions

322
00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:39,640
Speaker 1: or that, I don't think that. I'm just saying that's

323
00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:42,960
Speaker 1: not underestimate on him and say that, oh, that's just

324
00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:45,640
Speaker 1: automatic dub. I think the Bears are the same way

325
00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:50,440
Speaker 1: the Packers. Obviously for Mike McCarthy. That's the game that

326
00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:53,600
Speaker 1: I'm circling for Mike McCarthy because I know he wants

327
00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:55,400
Speaker 1: to win that game, and I'm sure the team wants

328
00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:57,400
Speaker 1: to win it for him. But I mean to show

329
00:15:57,440 --> 00:16:01,160
Speaker 1: Green Bay up at a primetime Come on, Fox, that's

330
00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:03,200
Speaker 1: got to be moved, right. They gotta move that too.

331
00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:06,480
Speaker 1: I don't know if they will. That's the game of

332
00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:08,240
Speaker 1: the week. Yeah, I don't think they. I don't think

333
00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:11,120
Speaker 1: Fox lets that one go. I think that's Kevin Burkhard

334
00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:14,120
Speaker 1: and I guess who was he. That game was announced

335
00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:17,240
Speaker 1: before the schedule was, so I'm assuming that's one of

336
00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:22,880
Speaker 1: the Fox is big, one of their premier Yeah. Good point. Well, anyway,

337
00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:25,880
Speaker 1: then you got Minnesota on the Minnesota then Minnesota again,

338
00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:28,000
Speaker 1: another team that I feel like we've we've done a

339
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:30,680
Speaker 1: really good job of taking care of over the years,

340
00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:34,400
Speaker 1: and the Giants on Thanksgiving. This is strange to say

341
00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:36,240
Speaker 1: that we're playing the Giants on things again, first time

342
00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:41,040
Speaker 1: since nineteen ninety two, and not the Manders, not the Commanders,

343
00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:44,480
Speaker 1: no man like every other year on Thanksgiving. What do

344
00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:46,240
Speaker 1: you think about this middle part of the schedule? When

345
00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:48,160
Speaker 1: I look at it, I think all five of these

346
00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:50,400
Speaker 1: games are winnable. I should be winnable. I like the

347
00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:53,400
Speaker 1: middle part. I like obviously Detroit, regardless of what happens

348
00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:56,080
Speaker 1: in that first six games. I think Detroit's obviously based

349
00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:59,160
Speaker 1: upon what happened, what took place last year with the teams. Okay,

350
00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:00,520
Speaker 1: you should be able to win the Troity, you should

351
00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:02,120
Speaker 1: be able to win Chicago. You get to buy a

352
00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:06,200
Speaker 1: week at the best possible portion off their seasons, best

353
00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:07,840
Speaker 1: you could ever hope for, a right smack dab in

354
00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:10,560
Speaker 1: the middle of your season. So that's awesome. Uh, then

355
00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:12,440
Speaker 1: you didn't you need that by a week because you're

356
00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:14,880
Speaker 1: about to face green Bay in Minnesota, and green Bay

357
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:17,000
Speaker 1: is green Bay. A run is out there, all right,

358
00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:19,399
Speaker 1: he's making all fifty a year. He's ready to ball out, okay,

359
00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:21,560
Speaker 1: and they're getting him some help. So you always got

360
00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:23,359
Speaker 1: to be prepared for that. Obviously, we know how big

361
00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:26,240
Speaker 1: of a game that is for McCarthy. But Minnesota is

362
00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:29,000
Speaker 1: always dangerous to me. Minnesota is always dangerous to me.

363
00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:31,200
Speaker 1: There's this Minnesota is never a team that I looked

364
00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:33,400
Speaker 1: past him back. Oh yeah, go ahead, we should be straight.

365
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:36,600
Speaker 1: They're always with a new coach, even a new coach,

366
00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:39,280
Speaker 1: because they're because they're key pieces. The key pieces are

367
00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:42,159
Speaker 1: still there, right. Their linebackers are still there, their d

368
00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:45,600
Speaker 1: line is still there now okay, yeah, the quarterback is

369
00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:49,880
Speaker 1: still there, right, Receivers still there. That's just I don't

370
00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:52,480
Speaker 1: hear them in that way. We played them a couple

371
00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:55,000
Speaker 1: of times so far. Dalvin Cook, I respect his speed

372
00:17:55,080 --> 00:17:57,119
Speaker 1: and what he does, but I just think on the

373
00:17:57,119 --> 00:18:00,199
Speaker 1: outside we covered them pretty well. I agree that we

374
00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:03,399
Speaker 1: last year with the backup quarterback beat them. Agreed, Dallas

375
00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:05,439
Speaker 1: has done a great job against them. But personally, I

376
00:18:05,560 --> 00:18:09,880
Speaker 1: just think that they have very good key players. Nah, yeah,

377
00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:13,120
Speaker 1: key players. I liked their front seven. Always front seven

378
00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:16,000
Speaker 1: is always a threat. The running game is always a threat. Right.

379
00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:18,080
Speaker 1: They have three of the best receivers in the league.

380
00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:19,840
Speaker 1: They those guys do a dog on a good job.

381
00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:22,479
Speaker 1: That's a solid trio that they have over there. Um,

382
00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:24,920
Speaker 1: so they're a threat in my eyes. And then you

383
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:27,520
Speaker 1: got the Giants, all right, and we'll get to the

384
00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:29,439
Speaker 1: next one here aunt that, Yeah, we'll get We'll get

385
00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:31,760
Speaker 1: to it here in a second. I never played in

386
00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:35,560
Speaker 1: the NFL. Shocker for those if you're listening, Um, how

387
00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:39,320
Speaker 1: much does it play a factor in the travel schedule?

388
00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:41,720
Speaker 1: Right there in the middle of the season, you're at

389
00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:44,639
Speaker 1: home against Detroit, you're at home against Chicago. You have

390
00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:47,119
Speaker 1: the bye week, so you don't travel for an entire month,

391
00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:50,320
Speaker 1: But then you go straight into Green Bay, lambeau Field

392
00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:53,480
Speaker 1: and a high vaulted matchup where your coach is making

393
00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:57,160
Speaker 1: a return as after winning a Super Bowl there and YadA, YadA, YadA.

394
00:18:57,240 --> 00:19:00,240
Speaker 1: How much could laying off and at the trial novel

395
00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:02,119
Speaker 1: and not being in a rhythm in terms of that

396
00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:04,520
Speaker 1: chunk of time? Does that affect you at all? Or

397
00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:07,040
Speaker 1: is that a non factor whatsoever? No, it's a non factor.

398
00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:08,840
Speaker 1: I think Seattle has the worst right they got to

399
00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:12,639
Speaker 1: travel miles, but far as Dallas. I mean, that's a

400
00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:14,920
Speaker 1: great thing about being in Dallas. You're centrally located, so

401
00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:16,880
Speaker 1: every you know, you're not fine, no more than three

402
00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:19,840
Speaker 1: hours either direction. So I think that's that's perfectly fine.

403
00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:21,440
Speaker 1: They need to be worried about that dog on cold though,

404
00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:24,040
Speaker 1: November thirteenth in Green Bay. Do you think it'll be

405
00:19:24,040 --> 00:19:26,360
Speaker 1: that cold up there? Shoot you, it's not that bad.

406
00:19:27,119 --> 00:19:29,600
Speaker 1: Chris is the one on the side. Seriously, it doesn't

407
00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:32,640
Speaker 1: get really bad. I mean it's not that bad, Chris.

408
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:35,040
Speaker 1: That direction, I mean, like in the thirties is gonna

409
00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:45,840
Speaker 1: be nice. You do realize that the NFC Championship game,

410
00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:52,440
Speaker 1: it was like it affected it affected the Green Bay Packers. Yeah,

411
00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:57,399
Speaker 1: it justn't affect everybody. So yeah, I agree, and I

412
00:19:57,840 --> 00:20:02,640
Speaker 1: think that's probably closer to at the third degrees, maybe forty.

413
00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:04,879
Speaker 1: I don't think you could really start whining until you

414
00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:08,960
Speaker 1: get into the twenties about weather. Oh I'm really in Chicago.

415
00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:12,320
Speaker 1: Off the play you played at you dub I played,

416
00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:16,520
Speaker 1: you played, Yeah, you played in New England and fourteen. Yeah, yeah,

417
00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:18,879
Speaker 1: that's real. Okay, all right, let's look at the final

418
00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:21,280
Speaker 1: third of the season. By the way, we used to

419
00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:24,000
Speaker 1: cut the schedule and the quarters. Now it might be

420
00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:26,119
Speaker 1: in the thirds with that eighteen game. It's just easier

421
00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:27,840
Speaker 1: to look at along the way. But if you go

422
00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:29,840
Speaker 1: four and two in your first quarter, then you go

423
00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:31,800
Speaker 1: four and one in the second quarter, you're feeling pretty

424
00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:34,280
Speaker 1: good or a third, I should say. But now we

425
00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:37,280
Speaker 1: look at this final game or a final six games.

426
00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:40,280
Speaker 1: Indianapolis the first game after Thanksgiving, so you have a

427
00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:44,080
Speaker 1: long reach. Yeah, really good teams in the AFC, actually,

428
00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:46,320
Speaker 1: with Indianapolis and Tennessee both of being in the mix.

429
00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:50,600
Speaker 1: But it's Indianapolis, followed by Houston, then Jacksonville on the road,

430
00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:53,080
Speaker 1: first time the Cowboys have played in Jacksonville in quite

431
00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:56,440
Speaker 1: some time. Then you have Philadelphia and Christmas Eve at home,

432
00:20:57,200 --> 00:20:59,200
Speaker 1: which will be interesting. That game could be flex to

433
00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:02,520
Speaker 1: Christmas should things get down to the wire, and it

434
00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:05,120
Speaker 1: always seems to get down to the wire with Philadelphia,

435
00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:07,439
Speaker 1: so maybe that will be played on Christmas. And then

436
00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:09,480
Speaker 1: the final two weeks for the regular season, you are

437
00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:13,639
Speaker 1: on the road Thursday night, short week again against Tennessee

438
00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:16,560
Speaker 1: and then you're at Washington at FedEx Field to end

439
00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:19,840
Speaker 1: out the season. When you look at this, heck the

440
00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:22,840
Speaker 1: running game you've got. You've got a great test early

441
00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:26,240
Speaker 1: in the season. But should he be healthy, then you've

442
00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:30,040
Speaker 1: got Jonathan Taylor December fourth against the Indianapolis Colts. Is

443
00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:32,560
Speaker 1: that your second litmus test for the run defense. Yeah,

444
00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:34,760
Speaker 1: I mean it starts we have a even when it

445
00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:37,600
Speaker 1: starts with Mixing and Leonard Fronette, we start off pretty

446
00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:41,480
Speaker 1: rough too. But you're right, this is the Jonathan Taylor

447
00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:44,320
Speaker 1: matchup Henry and let's not forget Gibson. We don't think

448
00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:47,000
Speaker 1: we give Gibson enough credit for the commanders up either

449
00:21:48,359 --> 00:21:50,600
Speaker 1: he stays healthy for Yeah, I mean, this just a

450
00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:53,440
Speaker 1: stretch that we're gonna get an opportunity as our defense

451
00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:56,400
Speaker 1: to find out where we are in the running game.

452
00:21:56,520 --> 00:21:58,680
Speaker 1: I felt like many we were so herky jerky in

453
00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:02,280
Speaker 1: the running game last season at those lights out performances

454
00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:04,840
Speaker 1: versus the ones where we gave up more than and

455
00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:07,000
Speaker 1: we were penalized more as well. I mean that was

456
00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:09,600
Speaker 1: the other telltale sign for our defense. But you can't

457
00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:12,760
Speaker 1: forget about Jonathan Taylor. I want to see how Indianapolis

458
00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:16,080
Speaker 1: looks with Matt Ryan. What kind of what difference does

459
00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:19,720
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan make in that offense versus Carson Wentz. And

460
00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:22,359
Speaker 1: I'm so happy that Carson Wentz is with the Commanders. Also,

461
00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:24,600
Speaker 1: let me say that I know you love Carson Winn.

462
00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:29,680
Speaker 1: That's my guy. You know, that is my duels let down,

463
00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:34,680
Speaker 1: always always on time. But also the defense for Indianapolis

464
00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:40,480
Speaker 1: man really a test for man Quitty pay DeForrest Buckner,

465
00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:47,760
Speaker 1: Jannick and Doc Way, Darius Leonard. I mean, yes, yes, yeah,

466
00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:51,359
Speaker 1: Who's who's our defense coordinator up there? Now give me

467
00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:56,240
Speaker 1: a second. I'll let you know. I do not know Bradleys. Yeah,

468
00:22:56,280 --> 00:23:00,720
Speaker 1: Gus Bradley. That's right, exactly exactly. Chris apparently does not

469
00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:06,320
Speaker 1: like that higher Unfortunately, good Indianapolis, in my eyes, is

470
00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:09,760
Speaker 1: going to be one of the league's best teams. Okay,

471
00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:12,240
Speaker 1: just I think think they take that jump. I think

472
00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:14,360
Speaker 1: they take that jump. I think they weren't too far

473
00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:17,040
Speaker 1: off last year. They just didn't. Obviously they got help

474
00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:20,800
Speaker 1: from your boy Wins. They need a bus driver, and

475
00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:23,119
Speaker 1: they got one, you know who. They remind me a

476
00:23:23,119 --> 00:23:26,560
Speaker 1: lot of Tampa Bay two years ago when they finally

477
00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:29,320
Speaker 1: got a quarterback that could be exactly what they need.

478
00:23:29,359 --> 00:23:31,840
Speaker 1: And I think Matt Ryan can be that in this system.

479
00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:33,800
Speaker 1: I'm not saying Maddie Ice is the end all, the

480
00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:37,320
Speaker 1: be all. He's not Tom Brady. I'm not saying that either,

481
00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:39,680
Speaker 1: but I'm saying he won't. I could hear the comments. Yeah,

482
00:23:40,320 --> 00:23:43,120
Speaker 1: it's okay. I'm just saying he won't. He won't mess

483
00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:45,280
Speaker 1: it up. Yeah, And he has a good enough position

484
00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:47,880
Speaker 1: right now. He's in a good enough position with this team.

485
00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:50,159
Speaker 1: He's on a way better team now than he was

486
00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:53,480
Speaker 1: last year. And the defense, their defense is silly. Yeah,

487
00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:56,760
Speaker 1: I don't disagree. And I think I think Tennessee might

488
00:23:56,800 --> 00:23:59,440
Speaker 1: take a step back from their dominance. They're still gonna

489
00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:01,960
Speaker 1: be great on the because they have Derrek Henry, but

490
00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:04,159
Speaker 1: I don't know if they're necessarily going to be the

491
00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:06,520
Speaker 1: same kind of top seed in the AFC that we

492
00:24:06,520 --> 00:24:09,479
Speaker 1: saw a year ago. Indianapolis could certainly take that jump

493
00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:13,280
Speaker 1: and Houston Jacksonville, those are both winnable. You should win

494
00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:16,480
Speaker 1: on the road against Washington, But that Christmas Eve game

495
00:24:16,520 --> 00:24:19,840
Speaker 1: against Philadelphia and always comes back to the stupid boo Eagles. Yeah,

496
00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:22,359
Speaker 1: there they are, but it always, it always just credited

497
00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:24,800
Speaker 1: to ruin your Christmas. They're gonna ruin it. Do you

498
00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:26,359
Speaker 1: think that you can look past Jacksonville like you did

499
00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:29,119
Speaker 1: last year, like you would have last year had you

500
00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:31,240
Speaker 1: played them, Well, you're in the NFL. You can't necessarily

501
00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:32,959
Speaker 1: look past anybody. I mean, you know, but no, they

502
00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:35,040
Speaker 1: went and at a Christian Kirk. They added some talent

503
00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:37,520
Speaker 1: on their defense. Trevor Lawrence now has somewhat of an

504
00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:40,879
Speaker 1: offensive line. You just look past Detroit, Detroit. I'm not

505
00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:43,560
Speaker 1: concerned about Detroit. Well, why are you concerned about Jacksonville there?

506
00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:47,440
Speaker 1: Because Jacksonville's a quarterback, that's the weapons that they put

507
00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:50,320
Speaker 1: around here, Doug Peterson's coach they're putting in place, and

508
00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:52,159
Speaker 1: the defense that they're starting to put together again. So

509
00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:55,040
Speaker 1: I don't think you could go into that thinking it's

510
00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:57,119
Speaker 1: a loss. Yeah, but you can't. Yeah, I know, you

511
00:24:57,119 --> 00:25:00,159
Speaker 1: can coach a good coach technically, because if you was

512
00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:02,680
Speaker 1: that game, then all of a sudden years feeling their

513
00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:04,880
Speaker 1: coach knows what the heck she's doing. The troitch coach

514
00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:08,359
Speaker 1: are trying to figure it out. Okay, well, two things

515
00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:13,159
Speaker 1: about Two things about after the Giants game on Thanksgiving,

516
00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:16,600
Speaker 1: whereas we would go back back to back Thursday night games,

517
00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:19,600
Speaker 1: we don't play a Thursday night game. We actually play

518
00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:22,320
Speaker 1: the Texans on the eleventh, which is a ten day

519
00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:24,040
Speaker 1: rest s band. And it's been a while since the

520
00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:26,439
Speaker 1: Cowboys have had that. It's like a second by for

521
00:25:26,480 --> 00:25:28,560
Speaker 1: these guys. I got really didn't they have it last year?

522
00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:32,560
Speaker 1: What do you? Yeah, well they had they had back

523
00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:35,480
Speaker 1: to back Thursdays and yeah, that's what I'm saying. Yeah,

524
00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:37,240
Speaker 1: but they don't have back to back Thursday after the

525
00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:39,320
Speaker 1: yeah after, because that's when they should arrest is Zeke,

526
00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:41,320
Speaker 1: but they didn't. Correct it was against the Saints. Yeah,

527
00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:43,240
Speaker 1: it was just that's how I remember it. They did

528
00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:46,720
Speaker 1: Kansas City and then they play the Raiders, Yes, yeah,

529
00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:49,840
Speaker 1: Raiders Thanksgiving, and then it was the Saints after on Thursday,

530
00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:54,840
Speaker 1: and then Tony Poller got hurt. Yeah, um, yeah, but

531
00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:58,120
Speaker 1: that's the schedule up and down. Thumbs up, thumbs down,

532
00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:01,360
Speaker 1: thumbs up. It's gonna be challenge, very challenging early. You're

533
00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:03,520
Speaker 1: gonna find out what you need to know about this

534
00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:05,920
Speaker 1: team in the first six games. I agreed, No, I

535
00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:09,600
Speaker 1: agree with what he says. I think that the team

536
00:26:09,640 --> 00:26:12,159
Speaker 1: has the That's why I said dan Quinn and Dak

537
00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:15,360
Speaker 1: are the two most important when I saw this schedule,

538
00:26:15,400 --> 00:26:17,720
Speaker 1: because they both have an opportunity to make a statement,

539
00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:20,440
Speaker 1: especially for Dak coming off of his second year removed

540
00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:24,200
Speaker 1: from his injury. The quarterback matchups that he has here

541
00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:27,680
Speaker 1: this whole you know, Aaron Rodgers and Cousins back to back.

542
00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:30,480
Speaker 1: I can't wait for that comparison to so many people

543
00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:34,600
Speaker 1: have been comparison comparing Dak and Cousins for it is silly. Uh.

544
00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:37,080
Speaker 1: You know, Chuck just tweeted about this. Is there really

545
00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:39,320
Speaker 1: is a silly argument. But you go from you go

546
00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:43,840
Speaker 1: from Joe Burrow, uh, Tom Brady. I mean just that's

547
00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:46,840
Speaker 1: a matchup galore for Dak and I think Daniel Jones

548
00:26:46,880 --> 00:26:51,640
Speaker 1: in Week three Yeah yeah, and Carson wentz right after

549
00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:56,560
Speaker 1: that on h and by the way, preseason games just

550
00:26:56,600 --> 00:26:59,879
Speaker 1: for everybody listening and keeping track. August thirteenth against Denver,

551
00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:04,480
Speaker 1: that's an eight pm kick. August uh nineteen through the

552
00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:07,560
Speaker 1: or nose. The twentieth, it's that Saturday at LA going

553
00:27:07,600 --> 00:27:10,800
Speaker 1: to Sofi Stadium against the Chargers, that's a nine pm kick.

554
00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:14,959
Speaker 1: And then the twenty sixth against Seattle and taking on

555
00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:18,120
Speaker 1: the Seahawks in the preseason. Isaiah perked up a little bit.

556
00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:20,040
Speaker 1: For that one. You'll be in the color booth for

Speaker 1: right there? All right? Cowboys Cowboys Rookie Mini Camp hosted

627
00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:26,680
Speaker 1: this past weekend here at the Star in Frisco News

628
00:31:26,760 --> 00:31:29,760
Speaker 1: and notes along the way, as the Cowboys have signed

629
00:31:29,840 --> 00:31:33,880
Speaker 1: six of their draft picks to their deals already, which

630
00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:37,360
Speaker 1: is nice, Tyler Smith being one of them, and Cowboys

631
00:31:37,360 --> 00:31:40,200
Speaker 1: have three more guys to go. Taking a look at

632
00:31:40,200 --> 00:31:44,160
Speaker 1: some of the guys that they actually have signed Tyler Smith,

633
00:31:44,680 --> 00:31:49,440
Speaker 1: Sam Williams, Jalen Tolbert, Jake Ferguson, and then they have

634
00:31:49,520 --> 00:31:51,880
Speaker 1: also signed all of their fourth round picks, Matt will

635
00:31:51,920 --> 00:31:55,600
Speaker 1: let's go the Ron Bland, Daman Clark, and John Ridgeway

636
00:31:55,680 --> 00:31:58,240
Speaker 1: have all been done. So or the guys that I

637
00:31:58,280 --> 00:32:01,400
Speaker 1: read first are not signed yet. Williams, Tolbert, and Ferguson.

638
00:32:01,440 --> 00:32:03,040
Speaker 1: Those are the only three that they have not signed

639
00:32:03,040 --> 00:32:05,080
Speaker 1: out of their draft class. So most of those guys

640
00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:07,360
Speaker 1: good to go. But then we got a chance to

641
00:32:07,360 --> 00:32:09,400
Speaker 1: see not only the draft class, but some of the

642
00:32:09,600 --> 00:32:12,040
Speaker 1: undrafted free agents and some of the guys that are

643
00:32:12,040 --> 00:32:14,880
Speaker 1: still classified as rookies that have been on the roster

644
00:32:14,960 --> 00:32:16,880
Speaker 1: the last two years. Hack, when you made your chance,

645
00:32:17,320 --> 00:32:19,920
Speaker 1: made your way out there on Saturday out in the heat,

646
00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:22,720
Speaker 1: it was hot, it was steamy. But what did you

647
00:32:22,760 --> 00:32:25,120
Speaker 1: get out of that practice? Anybody stand out? You know what?

648
00:32:25,480 --> 00:32:27,920
Speaker 1: And I think me and you. I said, we're not

649
00:32:27,960 --> 00:32:30,040
Speaker 1: gonna do what we did last year. Was that because

650
00:32:30,080 --> 00:32:36,440
Speaker 1: we completely jumped out of the cake? Did we jump up? No? Yes,

651
00:32:36,520 --> 00:32:39,120
Speaker 1: you were a little bit, you know. You know we

652
00:32:42,280 --> 00:32:45,920
Speaker 1: went out, Okay, we wouldn't look crazy. We were exciting,

653
00:32:45,920 --> 00:32:49,680
Speaker 1: you know, we were really right somebody post COVID we

654
00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:53,720
Speaker 1: were getting out. Who were you right on? Who tell

655
00:32:53,760 --> 00:32:56,479
Speaker 1: me who you were right on? So we were right

656
00:32:56,520 --> 00:32:57,800
Speaker 1: on a few. We were right on right on. Ifew

657
00:32:57,840 --> 00:32:59,880
Speaker 1: were missing, a few were right. I don't think we missed.

658
00:33:00,760 --> 00:33:03,120
Speaker 1: I think our excitement we went too high on our

659
00:33:03,160 --> 00:33:07,840
Speaker 1: excitement last year. Abilities we spoke on their abilities. Okay, okay,

660
00:33:07,880 --> 00:33:10,560
Speaker 1: but we also doubled down and said when the paths

661
00:33:10,600 --> 00:33:12,840
Speaker 1: come on, we got to see it. So no, but

662
00:33:13,040 --> 00:33:16,000
Speaker 1: is he mcquambo see you about faced on mcquambo and

663
00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:20,360
Speaker 1: didn't tell me you was going up? Came out? No, no, no,

664
00:33:20,360 --> 00:33:22,720
Speaker 1: I said, after the first preseason game, I came out

665
00:33:22,760 --> 00:33:24,600
Speaker 1: and told y'all that was that was gonna not gonna work.

666
00:33:24,920 --> 00:33:29,200
Speaker 1: The physicality, physicality. I saw it when the first couple

667
00:33:29,240 --> 00:33:30,800
Speaker 1: of times I said, no, this ain't this ain't gonna work.

668
00:33:30,840 --> 00:33:33,600
Speaker 1: But I will say this, you know, with the rookie camp.

669
00:33:33,920 --> 00:33:36,360
Speaker 1: What I did see with some really good signs from guys.

670
00:33:36,400 --> 00:33:41,160
Speaker 1: The wilesco is a huge person. I mean that's it.

671
00:33:42,120 --> 00:33:44,560
Speaker 1: I mean it's a really really big guy. If he

672
00:33:44,600 --> 00:33:47,320
Speaker 1: can move, if he can you know, good hand all

673
00:33:47,320 --> 00:33:49,160
Speaker 1: of those things with it that you would need from

674
00:33:49,200 --> 00:33:51,120
Speaker 1: your left tackle. If he can do any of those

675
00:33:51,160 --> 00:33:55,160
Speaker 1: things man, that swing tackle position, I think they want

676
00:33:55,280 --> 00:33:58,520
Speaker 1: him to take if he can take it. Uh Smith,

677
00:33:59,200 --> 00:34:01,000
Speaker 1: I think he did. He did a good job. That

678
00:34:01,120 --> 00:34:02,800
Speaker 1: was Friday. You know, a lot of these guys were

679
00:34:02,800 --> 00:34:04,960
Speaker 1: dealing with conditioning issues. And then you go back to

680
00:34:05,040 --> 00:34:07,400
Speaker 1: last year when we were talking about the Buzuoka with

681
00:34:07,640 --> 00:34:10,080
Speaker 1: Mica coming out here and he was he was winded.

682
00:34:10,120 --> 00:34:13,160
Speaker 1: And think about Friday and Saturday, one of the hottest

683
00:34:13,239 --> 00:34:16,479
Speaker 1: days in May in Texas, and they're in between those

684
00:34:16,480 --> 00:34:19,399
Speaker 1: buildings and hot and they are driving it. So they

685
00:34:19,440 --> 00:34:21,520
Speaker 1: pulled him back and you got an opportunity to see Friday.

686
00:34:21,520 --> 00:34:24,239
Speaker 1: I was there Friday on Saturday. But the other thing

687
00:34:24,239 --> 00:34:26,880
Speaker 1: that I think Cowboy fans should feel good about is

688
00:34:27,640 --> 00:34:31,960
Speaker 1: our wide receiver, you know, o Jail October I really was.

689
00:34:32,040 --> 00:34:34,239
Speaker 1: I felt good about his ability. I felt I thought

690
00:34:34,280 --> 00:34:38,880
Speaker 1: he's a lot bigger than six one, I mean, and

691
00:34:39,200 --> 00:34:44,000
Speaker 1: Damon Clark from LSU that is a huge kid as

692
00:34:44,040 --> 00:34:47,719
Speaker 1: well kid, he's a man and he carries himself like

693
00:34:47,719 --> 00:34:49,319
Speaker 1: a man. But they have him listed at six two.

694
00:34:49,360 --> 00:34:51,080
Speaker 1: If he's six two on five nine, I know it

695
00:34:51,320 --> 00:34:54,319
Speaker 1: because it's another big person that I think once you

696
00:34:54,360 --> 00:34:58,600
Speaker 1: add him to the roster, he may be someone that

697
00:34:58,600 --> 00:35:00,520
Speaker 1: can play. Because you we've been trying to still answer

698
00:35:00,560 --> 00:35:04,160
Speaker 1: those questions about the linebacker room. But the other guy,

699
00:35:05,200 --> 00:35:09,800
Speaker 1: the wide receiver from Indianapolis, from Indiana, sy Fry Fogel,

700
00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:12,440
Speaker 1: Fry Fogel, I ain't messing this name up. He is

701
00:35:12,480 --> 00:35:16,320
Speaker 1: an undrafted free agent. And that's where I am looking

702
00:35:16,360 --> 00:35:18,200
Speaker 1: at this roster and trying to say, like who's going

703
00:35:18,239 --> 00:35:20,239
Speaker 1: to be the next Cedric Wilson, Who's going to be

704
00:35:20,320 --> 00:35:22,400
Speaker 1: the next Turner Malik Turner. When are we going to

705
00:35:22,480 --> 00:35:26,160
Speaker 1: have that replacement? Because that's you know, seven eight touchdowns

706
00:35:26,160 --> 00:35:28,640
Speaker 1: that you don't have. That's about eight hundred yards that

707
00:35:28,680 --> 00:35:30,680
Speaker 1: you have to replace that. I don't think you feel

708
00:35:30,719 --> 00:35:34,000
Speaker 1: like you've replaced. And that's from your one, from your

709
00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:36,839
Speaker 1: three and four or five receiver. Where do we get

710
00:35:36,880 --> 00:35:39,279
Speaker 1: that production? And that's where that's why I'm looking at

711
00:35:39,320 --> 00:35:41,359
Speaker 1: this part of the roster and saying maybe we can

712
00:35:41,360 --> 00:35:43,239
Speaker 1: get that from these guys. And since I was there

713
00:35:43,280 --> 00:35:45,080
Speaker 1: with you on Saturday, I'll kind of book in this

714
00:35:45,200 --> 00:35:48,040
Speaker 1: and then we'll get back to Friday. But I agree

715
00:35:48,080 --> 00:35:50,000
Speaker 1: with you. I think the wide receiver room is where

716
00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:52,239
Speaker 1: you're gonna see a lot of confidence early on from

717
00:35:52,280 --> 00:35:54,080
Speaker 1: these guys that are ready to come in and make

718
00:35:54,120 --> 00:35:56,280
Speaker 1: this step into the NFL because they have some speed

719
00:35:56,600 --> 00:36:00,320
Speaker 1: fry fogels. One of them, Jakari Robinson from Wake Forest

720
00:36:00,440 --> 00:36:02,319
Speaker 1: is another one that both both of those guys in

721
00:36:02,360 --> 00:36:05,920
Speaker 1: twenty twenty were top ten receivers in collegiate football, but

722
00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:08,640
Speaker 1: they just had their drops in twenty twenty one. They

723
00:36:08,640 --> 00:36:10,960
Speaker 1: have some question marks around them, and they came in

724
00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:14,080
Speaker 1: and they performed well, especially five O gold Jalen Tilbert

725
00:36:14,080 --> 00:36:16,560
Speaker 1: all of a sudden or not all of a sudden,

726
00:36:16,600 --> 00:36:19,239
Speaker 1: but he was obviously the number one guy that was

727
00:36:19,320 --> 00:36:22,799
Speaker 1: in the room. My favorite part about going out there

728
00:36:22,800 --> 00:36:26,440
Speaker 1: and seeing the battles was Tyler Smith at left tackle

729
00:36:26,520 --> 00:36:28,839
Speaker 1: left guard. They kind of put them both spots. Played

730
00:36:28,880 --> 00:36:30,960
Speaker 1: a little bit in the in the interior, but he

731
00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:33,400
Speaker 1: was on the edge and he was going up against

732
00:36:33,400 --> 00:36:36,480
Speaker 1: Sam Williams. Seeing Sam Williams get after it. Williams got

733
00:36:36,520 --> 00:36:39,880
Speaker 1: him a couple of times. Williams definitely did that's but

734
00:36:39,960 --> 00:36:42,359
Speaker 1: there were other times when Tyler Smith would wall up.

735
00:36:42,360 --> 00:36:45,040
Speaker 1: And so seeing that competition early on between two of

736
00:36:45,040 --> 00:36:47,759
Speaker 1: those rookies was really fun. Of course, they're not going

737
00:36:47,800 --> 00:36:51,000
Speaker 1: full blast yet, they're not getting training camp beat down.

738
00:36:51,160 --> 00:36:53,560
Speaker 1: Just at this point. It's a lot of install a

739
00:36:53,640 --> 00:36:56,200
Speaker 1: lot of classroom work, and in talking to Mike McCarthy,

740
00:36:56,200 --> 00:36:58,600
Speaker 1: he has a lot of confidence in this class, said

741
00:36:58,600 --> 00:37:02,680
Speaker 1: everybody showed up at seven twenty for a seven thirty meetings.

742
00:37:02,760 --> 00:37:04,799
Speaker 1: He actually stopped him and he's like, I want you

743
00:37:04,800 --> 00:37:07,239
Speaker 1: guys to take a picture of this. So that way,

744
00:37:07,680 --> 00:37:10,279
Speaker 1: when we're an Oxnard in a couple of months, the

745
00:37:10,440 --> 00:37:12,920
Speaker 1: entire rookie class is ten minutes early to a meeting,

746
00:37:13,000 --> 00:37:14,480
Speaker 1: I bet it's not going to be the same, so

747
00:37:14,560 --> 00:37:17,480
Speaker 1: make sure and keep that going as well. So I

748
00:37:17,880 --> 00:37:20,920
Speaker 1: like the classroom side of it. Apparently that's going really well,

749
00:37:21,080 --> 00:37:24,319
Speaker 1: and that translated onto the field because comparatively, it looked

750
00:37:24,320 --> 00:37:27,040
Speaker 1: like Saturday was a much cleaner practice than Friday was.

751
00:37:27,080 --> 00:37:28,960
Speaker 1: Because there was some sloppy in this that you got

752
00:37:28,960 --> 00:37:30,840
Speaker 1: to watch. Yeah, there's some sloppy in thiss, but that

753
00:37:30,880 --> 00:37:34,080
Speaker 1: was to be expected. Obviously, you guys are excited. There's jitters,

754
00:37:34,160 --> 00:37:37,600
Speaker 1: there's first run. They're trying to impress there. It's a

755
00:37:37,600 --> 00:37:39,279
Speaker 1: lot trying to get your feet underneath you and get

756
00:37:39,280 --> 00:37:42,200
Speaker 1: adjusted to the speed. But you know, there was some

757
00:37:42,400 --> 00:37:47,160
Speaker 1: definitely some pros. I was looking primarily obviously offensive line.

758
00:37:47,239 --> 00:37:49,239
Speaker 1: I don't really look too hard at that, just because

759
00:37:49,280 --> 00:37:51,840
Speaker 1: of the fact there's no pads, so old line D line.

760
00:37:52,080 --> 00:37:53,840
Speaker 1: I don't put too much judgment on that until the

761
00:37:53,960 --> 00:37:56,319
Speaker 1: boys meet them pads on that's what really matters. But

762
00:37:56,400 --> 00:37:58,960
Speaker 1: at the wide receiver position, I had had my eyes

763
00:37:59,040 --> 00:38:01,399
Speaker 1: peeled over there at Jayalen tolbrid and I like him.

764
00:38:01,840 --> 00:38:03,840
Speaker 1: I like him, I like his work ethic, I like

765
00:38:04,000 --> 00:38:08,320
Speaker 1: his demeanor, his willingness to be on special teams. That

766
00:38:08,400 --> 00:38:10,960
Speaker 1: was something that we mentioned that wasn't necessarily present with

767
00:38:11,000 --> 00:38:14,239
Speaker 1: the draft pick from last year. He was willing that.

768
00:38:14,360 --> 00:38:16,040
Speaker 1: You could tell he was willing to go out there

769
00:38:16,080 --> 00:38:18,560
Speaker 1: and give his one hundred percent and special teams, regardless

770
00:38:18,560 --> 00:38:20,120
Speaker 1: if he was feeling punts and regardless if he was

771
00:38:20,160 --> 00:38:22,200
Speaker 1: covering kicks. It didn't matter. Like he was out there

772
00:38:22,200 --> 00:38:23,799
Speaker 1: and he was given one hundred percent. I like that

773
00:38:24,880 --> 00:38:28,279
Speaker 1: his ability to run routes he's precisely is seemingly he

774
00:38:28,280 --> 00:38:30,759
Speaker 1: seems bigger than what he's listed at for sure, so

775
00:38:30,840 --> 00:38:34,160
Speaker 1: maybe put some weight on. But you know, I like him.

776
00:38:34,160 --> 00:38:35,520
Speaker 1: I like I think he's gonna be a great addition

777
00:38:35,560 --> 00:38:38,360
Speaker 1: to the receiver room along with James Washington. I know

778
00:38:38,360 --> 00:38:40,000
Speaker 1: we keep kind of canceling him out, but I'm not

779
00:38:40,040 --> 00:38:42,200
Speaker 1: canceling him out. I think he's gonna be a very

780
00:38:42,200 --> 00:38:44,680
Speaker 1: integral part. I think he's gonna be this slot for

781
00:38:44,800 --> 00:38:47,520
Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys. He's gonna be that possession guy, and

782
00:38:47,640 --> 00:38:49,920
Speaker 1: tolbrid is a bigger guy that they're trying to make

783
00:38:49,960 --> 00:38:51,640
Speaker 1: a possession guy as well, because they want him to

784
00:38:51,680 --> 00:38:54,160
Speaker 1: be in that trifecta with CD and Gallant when he

785
00:38:54,160 --> 00:38:56,120
Speaker 1: gets back on the field. But he knows that he

786
00:38:56,160 --> 00:38:57,320
Speaker 1: has some work to do. I was reading up with

787
00:38:57,360 --> 00:38:59,239
Speaker 1: some of the things that he mentioned falling practice. I

788
00:38:59,239 --> 00:39:01,480
Speaker 1: believe on Saturday that he knows that he has some

789
00:39:01,560 --> 00:39:03,880
Speaker 1: work to do internally in terms of being an inside

790
00:39:03,880 --> 00:39:07,279
Speaker 1: receiver guy. Um the Jake Ferguson played a lot of

791
00:39:07,280 --> 00:39:10,640
Speaker 1: attenion on watching him. I know I spoke with Linda Wills,

792
00:39:10,680 --> 00:39:12,759
Speaker 1: and he's he's very excited about his tight end room.

793
00:39:12,760 --> 00:39:15,680
Speaker 1: He's very excited about his tight en room. He looks

794
00:39:15,719 --> 00:39:17,680
Speaker 1: he looks more than willing to block. He looks like

795
00:39:17,760 --> 00:39:19,360
Speaker 1: he's like he's one of those kind of you know,

796
00:39:19,560 --> 00:39:22,480
Speaker 1: just you know, drive you off the ball type of guys.

797
00:39:22,520 --> 00:39:25,719
Speaker 1: My only concern is his weight. Yeah, he's a little

798
00:39:25,880 --> 00:39:28,799
Speaker 1: little light, little lightened. But that's my only guess, My

799
00:39:28,840 --> 00:39:31,160
Speaker 1: only concerned if you're drafting and I don't. I mean,

800
00:39:31,360 --> 00:39:33,600
Speaker 1: I believe, I trust those scouts, I trust the Wills,

801
00:39:33,640 --> 00:39:36,160
Speaker 1: I trust all those guys obviously that are responsible for this.

802
00:39:36,680 --> 00:39:38,839
Speaker 1: I would like to see him personally come in about

803
00:39:38,880 --> 00:39:41,560
Speaker 1: fifteen pounds heavier to camp because I think right now

804
00:39:41,640 --> 00:39:43,160
Speaker 1: they had him listened about two forty five, and he

805
00:39:43,200 --> 00:39:45,799
Speaker 1: looks like he's about two forty five. He's a little

806
00:39:45,800 --> 00:39:48,040
Speaker 1: smaller than that. Yeah, he has a frame that can

807
00:39:48,080 --> 00:39:50,279
Speaker 1: add it. Okay, that's one thing I can't mention. He

808
00:39:50,320 --> 00:39:52,520
Speaker 1: has a frame that can put on some weight. And

809
00:39:53,000 --> 00:39:56,399
Speaker 1: obviously the strength coach uh is you know, Harold Nash.

810
00:39:56,440 --> 00:39:58,120
Speaker 1: He's awesome. He knows what the heck he's doing over there.

811
00:39:58,120 --> 00:40:00,000
Speaker 1: So they have dieticians, all that jazz. They can get

812
00:40:00,200 --> 00:40:02,320
Speaker 1: him right for before camping, he's gonna need to probably

813
00:40:02,360 --> 00:40:04,440
Speaker 1: come in twenty pounds heavier than what he is right now,

814
00:40:04,480 --> 00:40:06,520
Speaker 1: because you're gonna lose bas to the camp. Okay, So

815
00:40:06,840 --> 00:40:09,440
Speaker 1: my only concern is that if you're being drafted as

816
00:40:09,440 --> 00:40:13,360
Speaker 1: a blocking tight end, two hundred and forty five pounds

817
00:40:13,360 --> 00:40:15,960
Speaker 1: in this league is not a blocking tight end. Regardless

818
00:40:15,960 --> 00:40:19,359
Speaker 1: of your willingness, regardless of your tenacity, two hundred forty

819
00:40:19,360 --> 00:40:21,200
Speaker 1: five pounds is not moving two hundred and eighty five,

820
00:40:21,200 --> 00:40:25,040
Speaker 1: two hundred ninety five pounds off the ball. It's just not.

821
00:40:25,160 --> 00:40:28,520
Speaker 1: It's just as much as the Cowboys need a blocking

822
00:40:28,560 --> 00:40:32,360
Speaker 1: tight end because Dalton Schultz isn't that, and Blake Jarwin

823
00:40:33,200 --> 00:40:35,480
Speaker 1: without him being in the fold, and even Blake Jarwin

824
00:40:35,600 --> 00:40:39,279
Speaker 1: wasn't necessarily a purely blocking tight end. I don't know

825
00:40:39,320 --> 00:40:41,440
Speaker 1: if Ferguson fits that role. I think he's more of

826
00:40:41,480 --> 00:40:44,919
Speaker 1: an all around guy. He can block, he's willing to block, yes,

827
00:40:45,160 --> 00:40:47,759
Speaker 1: but that wasn't his emo coming out of Wisconsin. His

828
00:40:47,800 --> 00:40:50,520
Speaker 1: EMO was as a receiver. But hey, he's willing to block,

829
00:40:50,560 --> 00:40:52,640
Speaker 1: and he played in a system where they used him

830
00:40:52,640 --> 00:40:55,279
Speaker 1: to block every once in a while, but they need

831
00:40:55,400 --> 00:40:58,000
Speaker 1: him to be a blocking tight that's the case, then yeah,

832
00:40:58,080 --> 00:41:00,560
Speaker 1: you bulk him up right now. He doesn't fit into

833
00:41:00,560 --> 00:41:02,359
Speaker 1: that mold and that's probably why you're looking at him

834
00:41:02,400 --> 00:41:04,239
Speaker 1: and you're saying he's lighting the button. And that's what

835
00:41:04,480 --> 00:41:06,520
Speaker 1: has got to make you nervous, Kyle, especially when you

836
00:41:06,560 --> 00:41:08,600
Speaker 1: looked at the front of that that schedule and said

837
00:41:08,640 --> 00:41:10,480
Speaker 1: you're gonna have to be able to run the ball

838
00:41:10,480 --> 00:41:12,040
Speaker 1: and if you don't have a tight end that can

839
00:41:12,120 --> 00:41:14,600
Speaker 1: help you capture those edges, then what the hell are

840
00:41:14,640 --> 00:41:17,239
Speaker 1: you gonna do? Are you expecting for shots to be

841
00:41:17,400 --> 00:41:20,560
Speaker 1: that much better? Uh? This year at blocking I don't know.

842
00:41:20,880 --> 00:41:23,600
Speaker 1: You know, London Wales have to be around the clock

843
00:41:24,040 --> 00:41:25,960
Speaker 1: on the teaching of that. But I want to go

844
00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:28,200
Speaker 1: back to something that you said about this guy's demeanor,

845
00:41:28,560 --> 00:41:33,239
Speaker 1: um um the wide receiver tober Yes, Jayleen Tilburt, his

846
00:41:33,440 --> 00:41:36,560
Speaker 1: demeanor and his just that's one of the things that

847
00:41:36,600 --> 00:41:38,360
Speaker 1: I talked to my son about this man. You know,

848
00:41:38,440 --> 00:41:42,000
Speaker 1: keep your head up, stay, keep positive body language, and

849
00:41:42,200 --> 00:41:46,239
Speaker 1: that's what Jayalen Tilbert has that that his willingness and

850
00:41:46,280 --> 00:41:49,200
Speaker 1: also excitement is to fit in that role because we

851
00:41:49,280 --> 00:41:52,480
Speaker 1: need glue guys. And that's what these guys that we

852
00:41:52,600 --> 00:41:55,319
Speaker 1: lost were. They were those glue guys that they were

853
00:41:55,360 --> 00:41:58,400
Speaker 1: all special teams guys. But then at the at the

854
00:41:58,480 --> 00:42:00,520
Speaker 1: end of the day, if you need them to moonlight,

855
00:42:00,719 --> 00:42:03,319
Speaker 1: they produced and they did great things. And that's where

856
00:42:03,360 --> 00:42:06,359
Speaker 1: I believe that Tolbert is going to be watched for

857
00:42:06,440 --> 00:42:09,280
Speaker 1: him in camp when he starts getting those extra reps

858
00:42:09,280 --> 00:42:14,600
Speaker 1: on specialty. Watch when they start moving guys like you know,

859
00:42:14,960 --> 00:42:17,279
Speaker 1: like that around and he's getting those rests, because then

860
00:42:17,360 --> 00:42:20,680
Speaker 1: that'll tell you how they feel about him once he

861
00:42:20,719 --> 00:42:23,600
Speaker 1: gets with everyone else. I mean, and and so that's

862
00:42:23,800 --> 00:42:25,719
Speaker 1: going into camp. Those are the things that I'm looking at.

863
00:42:25,760 --> 00:42:28,279
Speaker 1: But that's a great point that you made about his

864
00:42:28,280 --> 00:42:31,600
Speaker 1: his demeanor. But there's another guy, John Ridgeway is going

865
00:42:31,680 --> 00:42:36,359
Speaker 1: to be is going to be a fan favorite. I'm man,

866
00:42:36,600 --> 00:42:40,880
Speaker 1: this guy he's huge, um but I mean, got an

867
00:42:40,920 --> 00:42:43,880
Speaker 1: opportunity to just see him and watch him interview in

868
00:42:43,920 --> 00:42:48,560
Speaker 1: the locker room, and he's a fun guy, very very personable,

869
00:42:48,640 --> 00:42:51,759
Speaker 1: has a ton of character. I'm telling you, man, Cowboy Nation,

870
00:42:51,800 --> 00:42:54,560
Speaker 1: y'all gonna love this kid. I'm just just what he said,

871
00:42:54,600 --> 00:42:56,640
Speaker 1: you know, Hey, do they make the team him and Bohanna.

872
00:42:56,719 --> 00:42:59,160
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a battle going into camp between the

873
00:42:59,200 --> 00:43:01,760
Speaker 1: big boys, don't I don't think it will be. And honestly,

874
00:43:01,800 --> 00:43:04,320
Speaker 1: I'm going back on what I said last week because

875
00:43:04,920 --> 00:43:08,080
Speaker 1: talking to McCarthy changed my mind in this regard when

876
00:43:08,760 --> 00:43:11,799
Speaker 1: originally I thought it was going to be Ridgeway v. Brohannah.

877
00:43:12,320 --> 00:43:14,600
Speaker 1: I think they like having both of those guys on

878
00:43:14,600 --> 00:43:16,719
Speaker 1: that defensive line. You remember how we talked about that

879
00:43:16,840 --> 00:43:19,120
Speaker 1: last week, and I got really excited. And it's like

880
00:43:19,200 --> 00:43:21,600
Speaker 1: both Hawk Miley's up front and you have the big

881
00:43:21,640 --> 00:43:25,480
Speaker 1: beefy dudes in the middle. They like it. They like it.

882
00:43:25,520 --> 00:43:27,399
Speaker 1: I liked it, and I also I liked this demon Clark.

883
00:43:27,440 --> 00:43:29,640
Speaker 1: I know I talked a lot about Nakobe Dean last week, right,

884
00:43:29,680 --> 00:43:33,239
Speaker 1: I know my disappointment, and they're not getting him disappointment.

885
00:43:33,320 --> 00:43:35,719
Speaker 1: I was disappointed. I was you know, Hey, you know

886
00:43:35,760 --> 00:43:38,319
Speaker 1: I stand behind Hey. I was standing two feet down

887
00:43:38,360 --> 00:43:41,400
Speaker 1: behind anything that I say. I was disappointed and I'm

888
00:43:41,160 --> 00:43:44,359
Speaker 1: not gonna backpedal from that. However, this demon Clark Kat

889
00:43:45,440 --> 00:43:47,480
Speaker 1: It's a big boy. He looked like somebody off a

890
00:43:47,520 --> 00:43:50,200
Speaker 1: key and peel skit. I mean, he wasn't even playing

891
00:43:50,200 --> 00:43:52,200
Speaker 1: he was standing on the standing there. But this dude

892
00:43:52,280 --> 00:43:54,520
Speaker 1: got a frame on him. Now he got a frame, armer.

893
00:43:54,600 --> 00:43:56,520
Speaker 1: I can't wait to see him fly around. Obviously he

894
00:43:56,600 --> 00:43:59,440
Speaker 1: was he was on the sideline on Friday. But when

895
00:43:59,440 --> 00:44:01,400
Speaker 1: I think when he gets a camp, I am excited

896
00:44:01,440 --> 00:44:03,200
Speaker 1: to see what he could bring to this defense because

897
00:44:03,239 --> 00:44:05,560
Speaker 1: I have a vision. I have a vision of what

898
00:44:05,680 --> 00:44:08,000
Speaker 1: could have been, and I want to see if it

899
00:44:08,160 --> 00:44:10,920
Speaker 1: still can be right. He didn't even have a frame.

900
00:44:11,000 --> 00:44:13,359
Speaker 1: He's five. I don't care. He was a lightning. He's

901
00:44:13,400 --> 00:44:16,279
Speaker 1: a freaking lightning. Bomb him. Do that. Don getting off?

902
00:44:16,280 --> 00:44:17,600
Speaker 1: I was getting off and him. I was off of him.

903
00:44:17,600 --> 00:44:22,760
Speaker 1: But Damaron Clark, he has the frame of a mic. Yeah,

904
00:44:22,800 --> 00:44:26,520
Speaker 1: that's why they drafted him. Okay, However, there's still a

905
00:44:26,600 --> 00:44:28,560
Speaker 1: dude by the name of vander Esh that they still

906
00:44:28,560 --> 00:44:30,359
Speaker 1: have on his roster that they planned on playing a lot,

907
00:44:30,400 --> 00:44:33,759
Speaker 1: I assume. So I'm out of necessity, not necessarily out

908
00:44:33,760 --> 00:44:39,640
Speaker 1: of want. Well, they signed them, you know, ran it back. Yeah,

909
00:44:39,680 --> 00:44:41,960
Speaker 1: I mean, but he's there, so I'm looking forward to

910
00:44:42,000 --> 00:44:44,759
Speaker 1: seeing how he fits in or how dan Quinn's going

911
00:44:44,800 --> 00:44:48,799
Speaker 1: to incorporate this linebacker rotation, because you want to think

912
00:44:48,840 --> 00:44:52,040
Speaker 1: about it, Okay, we roll two linebackers, you bring down curse. Okay, cool.

913
00:44:52,280 --> 00:44:54,600
Speaker 1: Now you're looking at Michael Parsons. Vander Esh's your quote

914
00:44:54,640 --> 00:44:56,480
Speaker 1: unquote starters, and then you got a Daman Clark and

915
00:44:56,480 --> 00:44:59,399
Speaker 1: you have a Jabille Cox as your backup. I want

916
00:44:59,440 --> 00:45:01,960
Speaker 1: to see if there's ever gonna be any three linebackers,

917
00:45:02,000 --> 00:45:03,960
Speaker 1: ever gonna be four linebackers depending on the different sets.

918
00:45:04,000 --> 00:45:06,200
Speaker 1: I'm interested to see how he contributes and what his

919
00:45:06,239 --> 00:45:08,680
Speaker 1: style of players in this particular defense. Have you watched

920
00:45:08,719 --> 00:45:11,360
Speaker 1: this film yet a little bit? He's go die a

921
00:45:11,400 --> 00:45:15,200
Speaker 1: little bit round. He's he's fun to watch on film,

922
00:45:15,280 --> 00:45:17,480
Speaker 1: and he when he is healthy, he's got He's more

923
00:45:17,560 --> 00:45:21,040
Speaker 1: than just inside linebacker. I mean he has range, he

924
00:45:21,080 --> 00:45:23,320
Speaker 1: can cover u he does some really good things and

925
00:45:23,560 --> 00:45:26,520
Speaker 1: he was still at five. His story about the Dallas

926
00:45:26,560 --> 00:45:29,799
Speaker 1: Cowboys being the team that identified that his injury I

927
00:45:29,840 --> 00:45:33,120
Speaker 1: thought was very important as yeah it's it's I mean,

928
00:45:33,160 --> 00:45:34,880
Speaker 1: the kid has an amazing story, and a lot of

929
00:45:34,920 --> 00:45:36,920
Speaker 1: these guys the way that they get into the NFL,

930
00:45:37,000 --> 00:45:39,959
Speaker 1: if you just backtracking and listen to the stories, uh,

931
00:45:39,960 --> 00:45:42,600
Speaker 1: it's amazing. But he is one of those players that

932
00:45:42,640 --> 00:45:45,399
Speaker 1: I'm I'm with you on that that's a you see

933
00:45:45,480 --> 00:45:47,640
Speaker 1: him and there's something about the way that he carries

934
00:45:47,680 --> 00:45:49,880
Speaker 1: himself as a person, and the tape goes with it

935
00:45:49,920 --> 00:45:52,120
Speaker 1: as well. That tells you this kid's gonna be a pro.

936
00:45:52,320 --> 00:45:55,080
Speaker 1: Nick Eatman I was talking to Nick about Clark before

937
00:45:55,719 --> 00:45:57,960
Speaker 1: practice and he said, watch watch this kid. Watch the

938
00:45:57,960 --> 00:46:00,960
Speaker 1: way that he's reacting taking mental rips the whole time

939
00:46:00,960 --> 00:46:03,440
Speaker 1: through practice. And that's a big thing. I mean, coaches

940
00:46:03,440 --> 00:46:05,839
Speaker 1: that you talk about body demeanor. Here's a guy that's

941
00:46:05,840 --> 00:46:07,680
Speaker 1: not going to be able to participate, but at the

942
00:46:07,719 --> 00:46:10,279
Speaker 1: same time he's still taking those mental rips. That's a

943
00:46:10,280 --> 00:46:12,319
Speaker 1: big thing. Then, in a few times that I've I've

944
00:46:12,360 --> 00:46:16,280
Speaker 1: interacted with Clark because we interviewed him on the draft

945
00:46:16,280 --> 00:46:18,640
Speaker 1: coverage when he came on the show, we heard his

946
00:46:18,719 --> 00:46:21,480
Speaker 1: secret audio. We've interviewed him a couple times since he's

947
00:46:21,520 --> 00:46:24,160
Speaker 1: been in the building. That dude is all about ball.

948
00:46:24,640 --> 00:46:27,080
Speaker 1: That's that's what you got. He is a look bawler like,

949
00:46:27,160 --> 00:46:30,320
Speaker 1: that's that's what he wants to be. So yeah, I'm

950
00:46:30,360 --> 00:46:32,160
Speaker 1: excited about him in the future. It's a bummer that

951
00:46:32,200 --> 00:46:33,600
Speaker 1: we don't get to see him for the next six

952
00:46:33,640 --> 00:46:37,000
Speaker 1: months and probably won't at any point this season, if

953
00:46:37,280 --> 00:46:40,680
Speaker 1: if we're being really if we're being realistic about it. However,

954
00:46:40,800 --> 00:46:42,480
Speaker 1: for the future, I think it's something that you could

955
00:46:42,480 --> 00:46:45,240
Speaker 1: really look forward to him being a part of that defense.

956
00:46:45,280 --> 00:46:47,680
Speaker 1: All right, let's take our second break. When we come back,

957
00:46:47,680 --> 00:46:50,040
Speaker 1: we're gonna take your calls. We'll end out with some

1012
00:50:04,560 --> 00:50:07,520
Speaker 1: got our our friend Nebbi back on the line. Nebbi,

1013
00:50:08,120 --> 00:50:10,480
Speaker 1: good to hear from you again. What's your question for

1014
00:50:10,520 --> 00:50:16,600
Speaker 1: talking cowboys? Uh Uh? My question simply is this, am

1015
00:50:16,640 --> 00:50:26,719
Speaker 1: I am I crazy? Am I crazy? Am I crazy?

1016
00:50:26,880 --> 00:50:36,759
Speaker 1: For believing that Jalen huh Tolbert uh uh can replace

1017
00:50:37,280 --> 00:50:50,520
Speaker 1: Amari Cooper's uh uh uh uh production? Uh uh this

1018
00:50:50,719 --> 00:50:57,360
Speaker 1: upcoming season? Uh uh. Take care. Thanks for being patient

1019
00:50:57,400 --> 00:51:02,880
Speaker 1: with me and have a great week. And baby, thanks building.

1020
00:51:03,080 --> 00:51:06,080
Speaker 1: Great question. And no, I don't think you're crazy by

1021
00:51:06,120 --> 00:51:08,319
Speaker 1: any means, but it would be tough, it really would

1022
00:51:08,400 --> 00:51:11,160
Speaker 1: and the reason why, and I'll let this kind of

1023
00:51:11,160 --> 00:51:13,560
Speaker 1: go to you guys. He's not the route runner Amari

1024
00:51:13,600 --> 00:51:16,080
Speaker 1: Cooper was. He's a separator, don't get me wrong, and

1025
00:51:16,080 --> 00:51:18,680
Speaker 1: he did so in college. But he's it's gonna be

1026
00:51:18,680 --> 00:51:21,760
Speaker 1: an adjustment process going from the Sun Belt to the NFL.

1027
00:51:21,840 --> 00:51:25,160
Speaker 1: I mean, it's you're playing and simple. He's a good receiver,

1028
00:51:25,480 --> 00:51:27,800
Speaker 1: he will have his production. I think you could expect

1029
00:51:27,920 --> 00:51:31,040
Speaker 1: him to have a good impact role in this offense.

1030
00:51:31,080 --> 00:51:35,320
Speaker 1: But replacing the production of Amari Cooper would be pretty tough.

1031
00:51:35,480 --> 00:51:39,879
Speaker 1: Pretty tough. Ditto everything Everythina College has said. The reason

1032
00:51:39,960 --> 00:51:44,040
Speaker 1: it's simply being Amari Cooper is a dog. Amari Cooper

1033
00:51:44,200 --> 00:51:48,000
Speaker 1: is a respected receiver in his league that fears absolutely nobody.

1034
00:51:48,440 --> 00:51:50,239
Speaker 1: There's not a route that he can't run, There's not

1035
00:51:50,239 --> 00:51:54,239
Speaker 1: a defense that he hasn't seen, so he's more prepared

1036
00:51:54,440 --> 00:51:57,279
Speaker 1: to handle this NFL. Obviously a weekend a week out.

1037
00:51:57,480 --> 00:51:59,520
Speaker 1: Tolbert may get there at some point in time in

1038
00:51:59,600 --> 00:52:02,160
Speaker 1: his career, but having that expectation of him to come

1039
00:52:02,200 --> 00:52:05,520
Speaker 1: into the league with that same production is a lot.

1040
00:52:05,520 --> 00:52:07,839
Speaker 1: It's putting a lot on top of him. But I do,

1041
00:52:08,120 --> 00:52:09,759
Speaker 1: like Holl said, I do believe that he will come

1042
00:52:09,800 --> 00:52:11,319
Speaker 1: in and contribute to this team and help him win

1043
00:52:11,400 --> 00:52:13,480
Speaker 1: the ball games. Yeah, it's all It's going to be

1044
00:52:13,520 --> 00:52:16,080
Speaker 1: a about opportunity for Tober if he's put in the

1045
00:52:16,200 --> 00:52:19,719
Speaker 1: position to be a productive virt receiver. Everyone knows that

1046
00:52:20,400 --> 00:52:23,040
Speaker 1: the pressure right now is firmly placed on CD to

1047
00:52:24,120 --> 00:52:26,799
Speaker 1: take the place of a Mark Cooper's production. But if

1048
00:52:27,000 --> 00:52:30,560
Speaker 1: if Ceedee Lamb can exceed expectations, then that's going to

1049
00:52:30,640 --> 00:52:33,239
Speaker 1: open up the rest of the offense and that's where

1050
00:52:33,400 --> 00:52:36,040
Speaker 1: Jalen Tolbert is going to be able to have that

1051
00:52:36,200 --> 00:52:38,319
Speaker 1: those production numbers let's think about it. I mean last

1052
00:52:38,360 --> 00:52:40,319
Speaker 1: year it wasn't as though a Marik Cooper was one

1053
00:52:40,320 --> 00:52:43,040
Speaker 1: thousand yard receiver. So we have to come back to

1054
00:52:43,520 --> 00:52:45,279
Speaker 1: you know, what are we replacing here? I know we're

1055
00:52:45,280 --> 00:52:47,239
Speaker 1: looking at his like this is fifteen hundred yards we

1056
00:52:47,239 --> 00:52:50,440
Speaker 1: were replacing. Ceede Lamb has an opportunity in front of him.

1057
00:52:50,640 --> 00:52:52,759
Speaker 1: I believe that Ceede Lamb can live up to the

1058
00:52:52,760 --> 00:52:55,680
Speaker 1: pressure that's being placed on him. Everybody else is really

1059
00:52:55,680 --> 00:52:58,359
Speaker 1: gonna have to finally going to have to define their

1060
00:52:58,440 --> 00:53:01,239
Speaker 1: roles in this offense, and Jalen Tolbord is going to

1061
00:53:01,280 --> 00:53:02,960
Speaker 1: be one of those guys. That's the biggest thing is

1062
00:53:03,000 --> 00:53:06,680
Speaker 1: it starts at the top. Everyone's defining their roles, even

1063
00:53:06,800 --> 00:53:08,640
Speaker 1: to a certain extent. Michael Gallup's going to have a

1064
00:53:08,680 --> 00:53:10,920
Speaker 1: new role. Yeah he's been the number two here before,

1065
00:53:11,000 --> 00:53:13,799
Speaker 1: but he's gonna have to be a one, be not

1066
00:53:13,880 --> 00:53:16,560
Speaker 1: necessarily a number two. You don't want him to be

1067
00:53:16,560 --> 00:53:19,240
Speaker 1: completely lead drugged by Ceedee Lamb. You want that production

1068
00:53:19,239 --> 00:53:21,320
Speaker 1: to be there from Ceedee Lamb. He's the one that

1069
00:53:21,880 --> 00:53:26,520
Speaker 1: completely goes with the flow of being that top rid

1070
00:53:26,840 --> 00:53:29,560
Speaker 1: wide receiver. Michael Gallup needs to take a step too,

1071
00:53:29,640 --> 00:53:32,280
Speaker 1: when he comes back and he's healthy. Because it starts

1072
00:53:32,280 --> 00:53:33,799
Speaker 1: at the top and it's a dominant effect all the

1073
00:53:33,800 --> 00:53:37,200
Speaker 1: way down. I completely agree. I believe that ced has

1074
00:53:37,239 --> 00:53:39,880
Speaker 1: to be your number one receiver. There's no one, there's

1075
00:53:39,920 --> 00:53:42,680
Speaker 1: no one be he is the number one guy. Michael

1076
00:53:42,680 --> 00:53:44,799
Speaker 1: Gallup has to be comfortable at being to be the

1077
00:53:44,880 --> 00:53:47,239
Speaker 1: number one all the way that is. That is the

1078
00:53:47,320 --> 00:53:50,920
Speaker 1: question and the answer can only be answered by Ceedee Lamb.

1079
00:53:51,080 --> 00:53:53,520
Speaker 1: And this season they've given him all of the runway

1080
00:53:53,600 --> 00:53:55,520
Speaker 1: to be able to do that. You go, come off

1081
00:53:55,520 --> 00:53:58,280
Speaker 1: of his season last year eleven hundred yards, I believe

1082
00:53:58,880 --> 00:54:02,040
Speaker 1: receiving coming into this season, what would be the number

1083
00:54:02,080 --> 00:54:05,000
Speaker 1: that would put him in that group of the elite.

1084
00:54:05,040 --> 00:54:07,520
Speaker 1: If he gets fourteen hundred, fifteen hundred yards, he's going

1085
00:54:07,560 --> 00:54:10,080
Speaker 1: to have the opportunity to be that receiver for the Cowboys.

1086
00:54:10,160 --> 00:54:15,759
Speaker 1: What would be mighty? What would come on by I'll

1087
00:54:15,800 --> 00:54:17,960
Speaker 1: ask you this question and kind of supplement that, but

1088
00:54:18,320 --> 00:54:20,680
Speaker 1: what would be your confidence level and a percentage one

1089
00:54:21,000 --> 00:54:23,480
Speaker 1: or zero to one hundred that he could do that

1090
00:54:23,719 --> 00:54:26,439
Speaker 1: fourteen hundred yards, Let's say fourteen hundred, because that would

1091
00:54:26,440 --> 00:54:28,880
Speaker 1: be an elite season if he's there fourteen hundred yards

1092
00:54:29,080 --> 00:54:31,759
Speaker 1: close to ten touchdowns. That's an elite season, something that

1093
00:54:31,800 --> 00:54:34,320
Speaker 1: am MARII Cooper never really did on a consistent basis.

1094
00:54:35,280 --> 00:54:38,759
Speaker 1: Can what would your prediction or not prediction, but confidence

1095
00:54:38,840 --> 00:54:42,280
Speaker 1: level percentage wise be for CD Lamb that he didn't

1096
00:54:42,280 --> 00:54:46,600
Speaker 1: do that? Yeah, how can you give you force feed him?

1097
00:54:46,600 --> 00:54:48,520
Speaker 1: I mean you obviously can get most I'm not talking

1098
00:54:48,520 --> 00:54:50,799
Speaker 1: about force feeding. I'm talking about being the number one

1099
00:54:51,280 --> 00:54:54,520
Speaker 1: not force offensive smooth. I don't currently see it. So

1100
00:54:54,560 --> 00:54:58,759
Speaker 1: what's your percentage? Seventy? That's pretty high to talk in

1101
00:54:58,920 --> 00:55:03,720
Speaker 1: grad school. I don't know about that. Se sees fucking

1102
00:55:03,760 --> 00:55:08,680
Speaker 1: grad school, right. So nine hundred thirty five is first season,

1103
00:55:08,719 --> 00:55:11,680
Speaker 1: eleven hundred last year making the next step. If we're

1104
00:55:11,680 --> 00:55:14,880
Speaker 1: just looking at the trajectory of his career, thirteen hundred

1105
00:55:14,880 --> 00:55:17,759
Speaker 1: should be that next level, especially when you have no

1106
00:55:17,800 --> 00:55:20,759
Speaker 1: one else that you would say you're competing with balls with.

1107
00:55:20,920 --> 00:55:24,440
Speaker 1: He doesn't have Amari Cooper there. All right, Nigel from

1108
00:55:24,440 --> 00:55:29,640
Speaker 1: Arizona is on the line. We're back to talking Cowboys Nation. Nigel,

1109
00:55:29,640 --> 00:55:33,520
Speaker 1: how's it going great? Guys? Thanks for taking night call.

1110
00:55:34,520 --> 00:55:37,560
Speaker 1: Probably a little redundant question, but you guys brought it

1111
00:55:37,640 --> 00:55:40,040
Speaker 1: up and it kind of sparked a little something in

1112
00:55:40,160 --> 00:55:43,760
Speaker 1: my old man brain, and that's putting the big boys

1113
00:55:43,840 --> 00:55:45,840
Speaker 1: in the middle there and letting our guys on the

1114
00:55:45,960 --> 00:55:50,200
Speaker 1: end feast. We all know, I believe the first two

1115
00:55:50,239 --> 00:55:52,200
Speaker 1: games of the season is going to kind of dictate

1116
00:55:52,239 --> 00:55:57,280
Speaker 1: what offenses are going to do to us defensively, and

1117
00:55:57,480 --> 00:56:00,640
Speaker 1: that's the run. You know, we all all of us

1118
00:56:00,719 --> 00:56:03,480
Speaker 1: know that's been an issue for the last I don't know,

1119
00:56:03,600 --> 00:56:06,400
Speaker 1: eight years, So I kind of you know when you

1120
00:56:06,440 --> 00:56:09,080
Speaker 1: were talking if Ridgeway, and I'm sure he's gonna make

1121
00:56:09,080 --> 00:56:12,239
Speaker 1: the team. Him and Bohanna and a couple of the

1122
00:56:12,280 --> 00:56:16,560
Speaker 1: other big guys just feasting in the two CENTI spots

1123
00:56:16,560 --> 00:56:20,640
Speaker 1: on defense and hopefully given our defensive ends a chance

1124
00:56:20,719 --> 00:56:23,600
Speaker 1: to feast as well. So thanks for taking that and

1125
00:56:23,680 --> 00:56:26,920
Speaker 1: I appreciate it. Thanks, Nigel, appreciate you, man, and I agree.

1126
00:56:27,080 --> 00:56:29,520
Speaker 1: There's a chance you see both of those guys on

1127
00:56:29,560 --> 00:56:31,719
Speaker 1: the field at the same time. But the thought process

1128
00:56:31,920 --> 00:56:35,160
Speaker 1: is nose tackle three technique. You need both of those

1129
00:56:35,160 --> 00:56:37,040
Speaker 1: positions to step up. Yeah, you need them both to

1130
00:56:37,040 --> 00:56:40,160
Speaker 1: step up, but you also need them to just be productive.

1131
00:56:40,440 --> 00:56:42,080
Speaker 1: It's one thing to be big, it's another thing to

1132
00:56:42,120 --> 00:56:44,160
Speaker 1: be productive. And big. There's a lot of big guys

1133
00:56:44,160 --> 00:56:45,880
Speaker 1: in this league. They get moved off the ball. We

1134
00:56:45,920 --> 00:56:48,200
Speaker 1: had that a couple of years ago. Oh yeah, so

1135
00:56:48,640 --> 00:56:51,000
Speaker 1: you can't. I mean, obviously, these guys have nice stature

1136
00:56:51,040 --> 00:56:53,839
Speaker 1: on him. We've seen what Big Bowl has done. We're

1137
00:56:53,880 --> 00:56:56,680
Speaker 1: still expecting more of him as he continues to develop.

1138
00:56:57,200 --> 00:56:59,000
Speaker 1: Now you bring Big Ridge in here, and he's gonna

1139
00:56:59,000 --> 00:57:00,560
Speaker 1: have to have a big impact as well. I think

1140
00:57:00,640 --> 00:57:02,960
Speaker 1: Urban came in prior to Urban getting hurt. He did

1141
00:57:02,960 --> 00:57:05,040
Speaker 1: an okay job, but he I don't think that he

1142
00:57:05,160 --> 00:57:06,959
Speaker 1: had the impact that we were hoping for it either.

1143
00:57:07,120 --> 00:57:09,080
Speaker 1: And he was a lot larger than this young gentleman.

1144
00:57:09,160 --> 00:57:13,040
Speaker 1: So sizes one thing. Production is another. You're hoping that

1145
00:57:13,080 --> 00:57:16,800
Speaker 1: you get both. And we're not mentioning Neville Gallimore a

1146
00:57:16,800 --> 00:57:20,080
Speaker 1: whole lot in this equation at all. And that's a

1147
00:57:20,160 --> 00:57:24,920
Speaker 1: guy that also and also Carlos Watkins. You know, adding

1148
00:57:24,920 --> 00:57:27,360
Speaker 1: those big bodies is one thing, but we have Neville

1149
00:57:27,400 --> 00:57:29,800
Speaker 1: Gallimore who is a big dude that obviously, if he

1150
00:57:29,880 --> 00:57:33,600
Speaker 1: hadn't injured his elbow, the defense I think would have

1151
00:57:33,600 --> 00:57:36,800
Speaker 1: been on a different level as well. Right, and so

1152
00:57:36,880 --> 00:57:40,040
Speaker 1: him coming back and you saw immediately the defensive line improved.

1153
00:57:40,440 --> 00:57:42,560
Speaker 1: He didn't get a lot of opportunity with Urban, but

1154
00:57:42,640 --> 00:57:45,800
Speaker 1: I think with the combination of all of those guys,

1155
00:57:45,880 --> 00:57:49,160
Speaker 1: the defensive line should be better. I just think that

1156
00:57:49,400 --> 00:57:52,800
Speaker 1: this year dan Quinn is going to have the opportunity

1157
00:57:52,840 --> 00:57:55,760
Speaker 1: to move pieces around. Now having that maybe done to

1158
00:57:56,280 --> 00:57:59,600
Speaker 1: Fowler works in that equation, but I think moving Micah

1159
00:58:00,040 --> 00:58:02,280
Speaker 1: round has got to be on the front of his mind.

1160
00:58:02,440 --> 00:58:06,400
Speaker 1: Question for you, mail bag question, I guess who has

1161
00:58:06,440 --> 00:58:09,320
Speaker 1: a deeper bag this year with the personnelity that they

1162
00:58:09,360 --> 00:58:12,120
Speaker 1: have at their at their disposal, dan Quinn easy off,

1163
00:58:12,160 --> 00:58:14,720
Speaker 1: Tome over over Kellen Moore is what I'm assuming you

1164
00:58:14,720 --> 00:58:17,120
Speaker 1: were gonna ask. Yeah, dan Quinn by far got way

1165
00:58:17,160 --> 00:58:21,520
Speaker 1: more women. Yeah, Kellen still has sweapons, but he's limited

1166
00:58:21,680 --> 00:58:24,440
Speaker 1: to a certain extent. Dan Quinn's not limited. He's got guys.

1167
00:58:24,920 --> 00:58:27,080
Speaker 1: Uh real quick. Let's go to Brett in Austin our

1168
00:58:27,120 --> 00:58:29,440
Speaker 1: final call of the day. Brett, how's it going. You're

1169
00:58:29,440 --> 00:58:34,520
Speaker 1: on Talking Cowboys? Hey, glad to be honest, appreciate it.

1170
00:58:34,840 --> 00:58:38,960
Speaker 1: I've been a listener for quite some time and been

1171
00:58:39,000 --> 00:58:43,840
Speaker 1: following the Cowboys since nineteen a couple of years. Um.

1172
00:58:44,480 --> 00:58:47,280
Speaker 1: There are two things that I really saw from this

1173
00:58:47,480 --> 00:58:54,439
Speaker 1: draft that really made a huge impression on me. The

1174
00:58:54,480 --> 00:59:02,000
Speaker 1: first four picks absolutely were steels. Sam Williams is going

1175
00:59:02,080 --> 00:59:07,480
Speaker 1: to be everything that we thought Gregory could have been

1176
00:59:08,320 --> 00:59:11,640
Speaker 1: but wasn't because of all the off field stuff. But

1177
00:59:11,760 --> 00:59:15,919
Speaker 1: he is so fast, so busy, and so big that

1178
00:59:16,720 --> 00:59:22,960
Speaker 1: he's going to be great. And you've already talked about

1179
00:59:23,040 --> 00:59:31,000
Speaker 1: the wide receiver. And I really think that getting Smith

1180
00:59:31,520 --> 00:59:37,400
Speaker 1: in the first is what was tremendous because he is

1181
00:59:37,600 --> 00:59:41,040
Speaker 1: projected to be the left tackle of the future and

1182
00:59:41,160 --> 00:59:43,560
Speaker 1: moving him into guard is going to help him. And

1183
00:59:43,560 --> 00:59:49,760
Speaker 1: he's everything that Williams wasn't. Connor Williams was not never

1184
00:59:49,920 --> 00:59:54,160
Speaker 1: did live up to you know that that movement, and

1185
00:59:54,400 --> 00:59:58,440
Speaker 1: so I think that they really just especially on the

1186
00:59:58,480 --> 01:00:03,840
Speaker 1: first four picks, you hit home runs. But throughout the draft,

1187
01:00:04,640 --> 01:00:07,640
Speaker 1: one thing that I kept hearing over and over again

1188
01:00:07,680 --> 01:00:13,080
Speaker 1: and Golf written about it is the temperament, the nastiness, yea,

1189
01:00:13,120 --> 01:00:18,360
Speaker 1: the absolute just sure ballers that we got. I think

1190
01:00:18,360 --> 01:00:22,640
Speaker 1: I gave it an a. I gave thanks for thanks

1191
01:00:22,640 --> 01:00:25,040
Speaker 1: for the call, Brad, and I completely agree with you

1192
01:00:25,480 --> 01:00:28,480
Speaker 1: to a certain extent because they filled their needs. They did,

1193
01:00:28,560 --> 01:00:30,760
Speaker 1: and I love your your your passion and I love

1194
01:00:30,800 --> 01:00:35,200
Speaker 1: your your high outlook on things. Your positivity is the

1195
01:00:35,240 --> 01:00:37,160
Speaker 1: word I was looking for. I like his radio voice.

1196
01:00:37,240 --> 01:00:40,160
Speaker 1: He's got a great voice too, no doubt, And what

1197
01:00:40,200 --> 01:00:41,840
Speaker 1: do you guys think about what he said there? To

1198
01:00:42,120 --> 01:00:44,360
Speaker 1: cap things off? I think they they got guys that

1199
01:00:44,440 --> 01:00:47,840
Speaker 1: fit the characteristics of this team and of this organization,

1200
01:00:47,880 --> 01:00:51,640
Speaker 1: the direction that they're trying to go um offensively. They

1201
01:00:51,640 --> 01:00:53,920
Speaker 1: got a nasty all right. At the receiver position, they

1202
01:00:53,960 --> 01:00:56,760
Speaker 1: got somebody who's willing um they you know, at the

1203
01:00:57,040 --> 01:00:59,600
Speaker 1: the linebacker in defensive and position, they got somebody. They

1204
01:00:59,600 --> 01:01:02,280
Speaker 1: got two people who are who are tenacious and fly

1205
01:01:02,400 --> 01:01:04,160
Speaker 1: around and are going to have an impact. So they

1206
01:01:04,280 --> 01:01:07,280
Speaker 1: got character guys that are you know, we're talking about

1207
01:01:07,280 --> 01:01:10,880
Speaker 1: their their demeanors, we're talking about how they're taking mental reps,

1208
01:01:10,880 --> 01:01:12,920
Speaker 1: we're talking about all the things that you're asking for

1209
01:01:13,000 --> 01:01:15,240
Speaker 1: of a rookie to come in and do. They're doing

1210
01:01:15,240 --> 01:01:17,720
Speaker 1: those things. You're not having to train these guys to

1211
01:01:17,880 --> 01:01:20,320
Speaker 1: be better people, to be better students of the game.

1212
01:01:20,360 --> 01:01:23,000
Speaker 1: They already coming in with that mindset, and they come

1213
01:01:23,000 --> 01:01:24,960
Speaker 1: in with that mindset. They come in humble, they come

1214
01:01:25,000 --> 01:01:27,200
Speaker 1: in willing you can work with everything else you know,

1215
01:01:27,400 --> 01:01:29,240
Speaker 1: and I agree with everything you just said, and I

1216
01:01:29,280 --> 01:01:31,760
Speaker 1: think that you know, they Sam Williams and what he

1217
01:01:31,760 --> 01:01:34,360
Speaker 1: said about Sam's I think Sam, that's accurate. The one

1218
01:01:34,400 --> 01:01:37,240
Speaker 1: thing that I always wonder with Sam would he would

1219
01:01:37,240 --> 01:01:40,160
Speaker 1: we have drafted him if we signed Randy, Especially with

1220
01:01:40,280 --> 01:01:43,000
Speaker 1: everything that we already have. People forget about Chauncey Golston,

1221
01:01:43,520 --> 01:01:45,720
Speaker 1: uh and guys like that that already have a year

1222
01:01:45,800 --> 01:01:48,720
Speaker 1: under their under their belt. I think it's gonna be Uh.

1223
01:01:48,760 --> 01:01:51,200
Speaker 1: Sam's gonna have to battle on this onto this depth

1224
01:01:51,240 --> 01:01:53,680
Speaker 1: chart to get playing even as a second round draft

1225
01:01:53,720 --> 01:01:56,120
Speaker 1: pick um, you know, And I think that he is

1226
01:01:56,160 --> 01:01:58,880
Speaker 1: probably one of very few people out there in Cowboy

1227
01:01:59,040 --> 01:02:01,240
Speaker 1: Nation that really feels the way that he did about

1228
01:02:01,240 --> 01:02:03,200
Speaker 1: the guys that we got in the draft, because it's

1229
01:02:03,240 --> 01:02:05,400
Speaker 1: the great unknown, and it is not until we get

1230
01:02:05,400 --> 01:02:07,800
Speaker 1: these guys on the field that we even know how

1231
01:02:07,920 --> 01:02:11,560
Speaker 1: Smith is going to translate at the left guard position

1232
01:02:11,600 --> 01:02:14,360
Speaker 1: because he hasn't played since high school and so there's

1233
01:02:14,360 --> 01:02:17,240
Speaker 1: a lot of question marks surrounding this draft class, and

1234
01:02:17,520 --> 01:02:19,520
Speaker 1: obviously we're going to get the answers here in the

1235
01:02:19,520 --> 01:02:22,480
Speaker 1: next couple of months. Completely agree the question marks around

1236
01:02:22,480 --> 01:02:24,680
Speaker 1: Tyler Smith at first, we thought it might have been

1237
01:02:24,680 --> 01:02:27,080
Speaker 1: a reach, but the more you heard about from the league,

1238
01:02:27,160 --> 01:02:28,960
Speaker 1: they got him at the right value. They got him

1239
01:02:28,960 --> 01:02:31,400
Speaker 1: at twenty four. That was exactly where they needed to

1240
01:02:31,440 --> 01:02:33,560
Speaker 1: get him because if not, he would not have lasted

1241
01:02:33,880 --> 01:02:36,280
Speaker 1: two picks after that, because the value was there for

1242
01:02:36,360 --> 01:02:39,000
Speaker 1: Tyler Smith, great value with Sam Williams. I think he's

1243
01:02:39,040 --> 01:02:41,160
Speaker 1: got a chance to make the roster, make an impact early.

1244
01:02:41,200 --> 01:02:43,000
Speaker 1: He's got all the traits, you just gotta put them

1245
01:02:43,000 --> 01:02:45,840
Speaker 1: all together. Same thing with Jalen Tolbert, and I even

1246
01:02:45,880 --> 01:02:47,680
Speaker 1: liked the value on the back end. I'll skip over

1247
01:02:47,760 --> 01:02:49,840
Speaker 1: Jake Ferguson because I think that was pretty solid in

1248
01:02:49,880 --> 01:02:52,360
Speaker 1: the fourth but I would say the fifth round value

1249
01:02:52,400 --> 01:02:55,080
Speaker 1: that you got on Ridgeway and Clark, I think that's phenomenal.

1250
01:02:55,120 --> 01:02:57,800
Speaker 1: So I liked the draft class as a whole, I

1251
01:02:57,840 --> 01:02:59,320
Speaker 1: really do. I don't know if I would give it

1252
01:02:59,360 --> 01:03:02,680
Speaker 1: an A, but a B is certainly fitting their overall

1253
01:03:02,880 --> 01:03:04,680
Speaker 1: and I think the Cowboys will when we put them

1254
01:03:04,680 --> 01:03:06,919
Speaker 1: on the put them on the field, we'll definitely see

1255
01:03:07,240 --> 01:03:10,400
Speaker 1: exactly what they what they have from their rookie class.

1256
01:03:10,440 --> 01:03:13,200
Speaker 1: Before we leave. By the way, Jack Crawford, former Dallas

1257
01:03:13,240 --> 01:03:17,640
Speaker 1: Cowboys announced his retirement. So congratulations Jack. Ten seasons in
