0:00:55.360 --> 0:00:58.120

0:00:58.240 --> 0:01:01.800
<v Speaker 1>uh get their first taste of padded practices that happened

0:01:01.800 --> 0:01:04.160
<v Speaker 1>on Saturday and Sunday, so a lot of stuff coming

0:01:04.160 --> 0:01:06.680
<v Speaker 1>out of that. We'll talk about some of the observances

0:01:06.680 --> 0:01:09.440
<v Speaker 1>that you guys had. Nick, you had some time yesterday

0:01:09.480 --> 0:01:12.800
<v Speaker 1>to talk to Sean Lee in what was semi exclusive

0:01:12.840 --> 0:01:14.640
<v Speaker 1>a couple of one of the other person was there.

0:01:14.680 --> 0:01:16.480
<v Speaker 1>But we'll talk to you a little bit about that,

0:01:16.520 --> 0:01:17.959
<v Speaker 1>and let you tell us a little bit about what

0:01:17.959 --> 0:01:21.039
<v Speaker 1>Shawn's talking about. These days. We'll get into some injury talk.

0:01:21.120 --> 0:01:22.760
<v Speaker 1>There are a few guys that are popping up there.

0:01:23.680 --> 0:01:25.800
<v Speaker 1>Not a lot of big injuries so far, but a

0:01:25.800 --> 0:01:27.320
<v Speaker 1>few injuries that we kind of need to keep an

0:01:27.319 --> 0:01:29.360
<v Speaker 1>eye on. We'll talk about that, and then we'll have

0:01:29.440 --> 0:01:32.480
<v Speaker 1>some questions that will kind of health fans recap this

0:01:32.560 --> 0:01:35.399
<v Speaker 1>first week of training camp in the first two days

0:01:35.400 --> 0:01:38.000
<v Speaker 1>of padded practices. We'll get into that to round out

0:01:38.000 --> 0:01:41.000
<v Speaker 1>the show in around the third segment. So let's get

0:01:41.080 --> 0:01:43.680
<v Speaker 1>started first. As I want to do every day during

0:01:43.680 --> 0:01:45.480
<v Speaker 1>the show, I just want to go down the line

0:01:45.480 --> 0:01:47.920
<v Speaker 1>and everybody give me an observance. So this can come

0:01:47.960 --> 0:01:49.840
<v Speaker 1>from either of the two days. Over the last two

0:01:49.920 --> 0:01:52.720
<v Speaker 1>days of training camp, give me one observance, one thing

0:01:52.760 --> 0:01:55.200
<v Speaker 1>you noticed that stood out to you. You'll start with

0:01:55.240 --> 0:02:02.000
<v Speaker 1>you Dave's observance a word observation. Servation. Observance is not

0:02:02.040 --> 0:02:04.480
<v Speaker 1>a word. I don't I might know, I'm not I'm

0:02:04.520 --> 0:02:06.520
<v Speaker 1>not sound, just sounds weird to me. It did sound

0:02:06.600 --> 0:02:08.640
<v Speaker 1>weird to me. Let me see, I'm gonna look it up.

0:02:08.720 --> 0:02:12.160
<v Speaker 1>Why do you say I'm gonna find that? Since you

0:02:12.280 --> 0:02:14.000
<v Speaker 1>let me go first, I'm just gonna be this is

0:02:14.040 --> 0:02:17.200
<v Speaker 1>any position any Yeah, observance is a word I saw

0:02:17.320 --> 0:02:22.160
<v Speaker 1>we were talking about one specific position. Are we going tomorrow?

0:02:23.280 --> 0:02:25.240
<v Speaker 1>Did you not pay attention in the pre show meeting?

0:02:25.360 --> 0:02:29.480
<v Speaker 1>Honestly not? Here's all right, whatever, I know, I'm just

0:02:29.520 --> 0:02:31.880
<v Speaker 1>gonna I'm just gonna take the easy one, since you

0:02:31.960 --> 0:02:34.520
<v Speaker 1>let me go first. Yes, give me an observance, My guy,

0:02:34.800 --> 0:02:38.080
<v Speaker 1>you're a guy Byron Jones. What's up, dude? You look

0:02:38.160 --> 0:02:40.800
<v Speaker 1>good out there on the boundary. You really do. I

0:02:40.880 --> 0:02:44.000
<v Speaker 1>know it's two days, but he looks really nice. He

0:02:44.040 --> 0:02:46.320
<v Speaker 1>had a pick of Dak Prescott in the first practice

0:02:46.880 --> 0:02:50.040
<v Speaker 1>he made. He's made this type of play before at safety,

0:02:50.120 --> 0:02:52.959
<v Speaker 1>but yesterday and one on ones, lancelin Or kind of

0:02:53.000 --> 0:02:54.840
<v Speaker 1>beat him with a little double move. How a step

0:02:54.919 --> 0:02:58.359
<v Speaker 1>or so on him didn't matter, caught up to him.

0:02:58.480 --> 0:03:00.519
<v Speaker 1>You know, it's almost like a trademark play at this point,

0:03:00.600 --> 0:03:02.840
<v Speaker 1>the diving kind of not even a bat down, but

0:03:02.960 --> 0:03:07.360
<v Speaker 1>like the tap away just he's got the athleticism to

0:03:07.360 --> 0:03:10.440
<v Speaker 1>play that position, and I think, you know, thinking about

0:03:10.480 --> 0:03:12.800
<v Speaker 1>it critically, Like I said, he's made that play as

0:03:12.800 --> 0:03:16.600
<v Speaker 1>a safety, but there's so much more you need to

0:03:16.639 --> 0:03:19.480
<v Speaker 1>know as a safety as opposed to just stick your man,

0:03:19.680 --> 0:03:22.720
<v Speaker 1>you know, and with that type of athleticism, maybe we

0:03:22.720 --> 0:03:24.760
<v Speaker 1>should have seen or maybe we should have given him

0:03:24.760 --> 0:03:26.480
<v Speaker 1>more credit for being able to do that, because he

0:03:26.560 --> 0:03:29.519
<v Speaker 1>looks like a natural through two days. I know there's

0:03:29.560 --> 0:03:33.120
<v Speaker 1>a lot to go, but he looks really good. Yeah,

0:03:33.200 --> 0:03:37.880
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna go with a few coaches stange Lal. Some

0:03:37.920 --> 0:03:39.600
<v Speaker 1>of the things that he has been doing with the

0:03:39.680 --> 0:03:43.880
<v Speaker 1>receivers that I haven't seen before happening here. I really

0:03:44.000 --> 0:03:46.680
<v Speaker 1>enjoy one of them being like certain drills that he

0:03:46.720 --> 0:03:50.960
<v Speaker 1>does with the like balancing and how they are able

0:03:51.000 --> 0:03:55.080
<v Speaker 1>to improve their balance, the hand grip where they carry

0:03:55.120 --> 0:03:57.920
<v Speaker 1>these little blocks and just carry down the field to

0:03:58.720 --> 0:04:02.720
<v Speaker 1>help that grip. And Chris Ristar, I mean, just watching

0:04:02.800 --> 0:04:06.520
<v Speaker 1>him is absolutely entertaining, the passion that he brings, how

0:04:06.560 --> 0:04:08.840
<v Speaker 1>he involved he is. You see him running around the

0:04:08.880 --> 0:04:12.840
<v Speaker 1>whole field coaching each guy right after a play, doesn't

0:04:12.840 --> 0:04:14.760
<v Speaker 1>matter what play it is, He'll go right up to

0:04:14.840 --> 0:04:17.960
<v Speaker 1>him and just give them some points about how that

0:04:18.040 --> 0:04:21.280
<v Speaker 1>went down or what to do next, and it's absolutely

0:04:21.360 --> 0:04:24.760
<v Speaker 1>amazing to me just to see that. I like what

0:04:24.920 --> 0:04:27.760
<v Speaker 1>I'm seeing so far from what the Cowboys are doing

0:04:27.760 --> 0:04:31.080
<v Speaker 1>with Tavon Austin. There really doesn't seem to be any

0:04:31.160 --> 0:04:35.360
<v Speaker 1>kind of what position as he forget those questions. You know,

0:04:35.520 --> 0:04:38.560
<v Speaker 1>he might run the ball occasionally, but he looks like

0:04:38.600 --> 0:04:42.680
<v Speaker 1>a wide receiver. They're playing him in that role. Jerry

0:04:42.760 --> 0:04:45.800
<v Speaker 1>Jones said yesterday that he might be just as important

0:04:45.800 --> 0:04:48.400
<v Speaker 1>with the ball out of his hands then when he's

0:04:48.400 --> 0:04:50.400
<v Speaker 1>got the ball as a decoy, but you can't do

0:04:50.440 --> 0:04:53.240
<v Speaker 1>that unless you show that he can, you know, get

0:04:53.279 --> 0:04:55.360
<v Speaker 1>the ball and go vertically a little bit. I think

0:04:55.440 --> 0:04:57.360
<v Speaker 1>this team's throwing the ball down the field a little

0:04:57.360 --> 0:04:59.240
<v Speaker 1>bit more from what I've seen, which is also a

0:04:59.240 --> 0:05:00.919
<v Speaker 1>good thing if you at the players to do it.

0:05:01.040 --> 0:05:03.919
<v Speaker 1>So I like what I've seen out of Tavon. We

0:05:04.000 --> 0:05:06.800
<v Speaker 1>talked about it yesterday, a lot of lucky whitehead stuff

0:05:07.000 --> 0:05:10.400
<v Speaker 1>when he went east west, but we are seeing him

0:05:10.440 --> 0:05:13.080
<v Speaker 1>kind of go down the field Tavon a little bit more.

0:05:13.120 --> 0:05:16.000
<v Speaker 1>So I like that. Yeah, I will throw in one observation,

0:05:16.040 --> 0:05:18.839
<v Speaker 1>and to me, this observation is kind of what you

0:05:18.880 --> 0:05:21.560
<v Speaker 1>would have expected. But it's been so much better than

0:05:21.600 --> 0:05:24.680
<v Speaker 1>what I thought it could be. This offensive line has

0:05:24.720 --> 0:05:28.200
<v Speaker 1>been extremely dominant, and the best part about it is

0:05:28.240 --> 0:05:30.039
<v Speaker 1>the person that I thought would be the weak link

0:05:30.120 --> 0:05:34.560
<v Speaker 1>because he's the young guy. He has been, in my opinion,

0:05:35.000 --> 0:05:36.760
<v Speaker 1>just as good as any of the rest of them.

0:05:36.800 --> 0:05:39.480
<v Speaker 1>I've seen him in one on ones, We've seen him

0:05:39.520 --> 0:05:42.880
<v Speaker 1>in situations where where they're doing a team drill. And

0:05:43.040 --> 0:05:46.160
<v Speaker 1>this offensive line is just looking very very good right now.

0:05:46.760 --> 0:05:48.520
<v Speaker 1>And I was talking to Nat about it yesterday. Nate

0:05:48.600 --> 0:05:51.000
<v Speaker 1>said he believes that right now this is the best

0:05:51.000 --> 0:05:53.920
<v Speaker 1>he's seen this offensive line in years, and that goes

0:05:53.960 --> 0:05:56.320
<v Speaker 1>back for the last several years, over years when they've

0:05:56.320 --> 0:05:57.960
<v Speaker 1>had great play. Now, of course, this is just two

0:05:58.000 --> 0:06:00.960
<v Speaker 1>days into practice, but all that being said, right now,

0:06:01.000 --> 0:06:03.719
<v Speaker 1>the way they're performing out here, it's really really impressive.

0:06:03.800 --> 0:06:07.280
<v Speaker 1>Connor Williams looks very nice. Yeah, that's not the Lyle

0:06:07.400 --> 0:06:09.880
<v Speaker 1>Collins looks very nice too. We can do that all

0:06:09.920 --> 0:06:11.760
<v Speaker 1>it does. You're right, You're right. I'll give him. I'll

0:06:11.760 --> 0:06:13.560
<v Speaker 1>give him the look. And it's actually interesting. We got

0:06:13.600 --> 0:06:17.760
<v Speaker 1>our first a little skirmish yesterday. Lyle Collins and Uh

0:06:18.279 --> 0:06:21.919
<v Speaker 1>and Uh was at Taco, and the skirmish was because

0:06:22.400 --> 0:06:26.359
<v Speaker 1>one guy in one position, one side of the ball

0:06:26.480 --> 0:06:29.640
<v Speaker 1>was just better than the other and they were just dominant.

0:06:29.720 --> 0:06:34.280
<v Speaker 1>And Taco wasn't mad because anything really Lyle did other

0:06:34.360 --> 0:06:36.119
<v Speaker 1>than just I mean threw them down to the ground

0:06:36.120 --> 0:06:39.560
<v Speaker 1>and it was just repeated. And this keeps happening. Tyron

0:06:39.640 --> 0:06:42.120
<v Speaker 1>Crawford is going to do the same thing either tomorrow

0:06:42.279 --> 0:06:44.279
<v Speaker 1>or the next day, just to kind of set the

0:06:44.320 --> 0:06:50.159
<v Speaker 1>tone because they're getting man handled. Tyron Smith just mean

0:06:50.240 --> 0:06:54.200
<v Speaker 1>that was just nasty. Yeah, I said this in my

0:06:54.360 --> 0:06:56.560
<v Speaker 1>you know, we do the If you don't, you should

0:06:56.600 --> 0:06:59.120
<v Speaker 1>be reading it. We write a little observation about something

0:06:59.160 --> 0:07:01.000
<v Speaker 1>we saw a practice every day. I think we both

0:07:01.000 --> 0:07:03.800
<v Speaker 1>wrote about Tyron, didn't we Well, just just the one

0:07:03.880 --> 0:07:06.240
<v Speaker 1>guy that, you know, kind of one thing that stood

0:07:06.240 --> 0:07:09.080
<v Speaker 1>out for you. But and uh, Tyrn, Yeah, and I

0:07:09.080 --> 0:07:11.480
<v Speaker 1>think everyone could have probably gone with Tyrn. Have you

0:07:11.520 --> 0:07:14.280
<v Speaker 1>ever seen like the documentaries on the Nature Channel of

0:07:14.320 --> 0:07:17.720
<v Speaker 1>like grizzly bears fighting. That's what Tyron Smith looks like.

0:07:18.040 --> 0:07:21.200
<v Speaker 1>Like he's just just it's gross in a good way,

0:07:21.240 --> 0:07:24.000
<v Speaker 1>like he just not even fighting another bear, just like no,

0:07:24.320 --> 0:07:26.960
<v Speaker 1>like it's a grizzly bear fighting a man. Yeah, it's

0:07:27.200 --> 0:07:29.680
<v Speaker 1>and it looks so effortless too. It's like he just

0:07:29.760 --> 0:07:33.240
<v Speaker 1>goes there and okay, that's it, moves stands out or

0:07:33.320 --> 0:07:36.520
<v Speaker 1>like keeps walking, and it's like so effortless. And I

0:07:36.560 --> 0:07:40.200
<v Speaker 1>feel horrible for the for the defensive players, how they

0:07:40.200 --> 0:07:43.160
<v Speaker 1>get thrown and it's it's frustrating. I get frustrated just

0:07:43.240 --> 0:07:45.160
<v Speaker 1>watching it. I'm like, oh my god, I'm telling you,

0:07:45.240 --> 0:07:47.560
<v Speaker 1>I wrote this about Tyron Crawford. The good news is

0:07:47.640 --> 0:07:50.680
<v Speaker 1>it'll only get better than that. Yes, yeah, And because

0:07:50.880 --> 0:07:53.520
<v Speaker 1>Tyrn Smith at that level is the best left tackle

0:07:53.560 --> 0:07:55.880
<v Speaker 1>in football right yeah, now when he's kind of banged

0:07:55.920 --> 0:07:57.160
<v Speaker 1>up a little bit, and there's some others. I know,

0:07:57.200 --> 0:07:59.559
<v Speaker 1>there's other teams that think they're left tackle maybe better,

0:07:59.720 --> 0:08:03.800
<v Speaker 1>but I think when he is playing like that, and

0:08:03.920 --> 0:08:05.800
<v Speaker 1>yesterday when they were out there in that one on

0:08:05.800 --> 0:08:10.720
<v Speaker 1>one situation, Tyrone Crawford was going against against him. Afterwards,

0:08:10.720 --> 0:08:13.480
<v Speaker 1>Tyrone got really frustrate through his helmet down and Nate

0:08:13.520 --> 0:08:15.520
<v Speaker 1>walked over to him and said something. Then afterwards, I

0:08:15.600 --> 0:08:16.960
<v Speaker 1>was like, you know, me and Shannon, we're standing there

0:08:16.960 --> 0:08:18.360
<v Speaker 1>and we said, Nate, what would you tell him? He

0:08:18.400 --> 0:08:21.120
<v Speaker 1>was like, look, the point is that's the best you're

0:08:21.160 --> 0:08:23.880
<v Speaker 1>going to face, he said. I if you can go

0:08:23.960 --> 0:08:27.080
<v Speaker 1>through those battles and even if you win two times

0:08:27.080 --> 0:08:30.040
<v Speaker 1>out of ten, like, that's the point. You're gonna play

0:08:30.120 --> 0:08:31.600
<v Speaker 1>all the guys you're gonna play, he said. When I

0:08:31.720 --> 0:08:33.959
<v Speaker 1>used to play, when I played Jerome Brown, I knew

0:08:34.000 --> 0:08:36.080
<v Speaker 1>it was gonna be a long, hard day. But I

0:08:36.080 --> 0:08:38.679
<v Speaker 1>also knew if I could play him and matches his level,

0:08:39.600 --> 0:08:41.600
<v Speaker 1>I knew that for the next six eight weeks of

0:08:41.640 --> 0:08:44.439
<v Speaker 1>the season, I was going to destroy people because nobody

0:08:44.480 --> 0:08:46.240
<v Speaker 1>was gonna be as good as Jerome Brown. So the

0:08:46.240 --> 0:08:47.840
<v Speaker 1>fact he's getting to practice with that guy and what

0:08:47.960 --> 0:08:50.880
<v Speaker 1>you saw afterwards, Tyron went and grabbed him afterwards and

0:08:50.920 --> 0:08:53.839
<v Speaker 1>said started breaking down, like here's what you did wrong.

0:08:53.960 --> 0:08:56.400
<v Speaker 1>Here's how you could have beat me right there. That's

0:08:56.440 --> 0:08:58.120
<v Speaker 1>the kind of stuff where it's gonna make Tyrone a

0:08:58.160 --> 0:09:01.840
<v Speaker 1>better player going up against Tyron. Tyrone actually sorry, which

0:09:01.840 --> 0:09:04.120
<v Speaker 1>is what DeMarcus Ware did to Time exactly when he

0:09:04.200 --> 0:09:06.360
<v Speaker 1>used to destroy him. Yeah, exactly what he would do

0:09:06.400 --> 0:09:10.040
<v Speaker 1>to him. Yeah. Tyrone talked about that after practice on Saturday,

0:09:10.280 --> 0:09:12.160
<v Speaker 1>they did the compete period in front of the whole

0:09:12.160 --> 0:09:14.880
<v Speaker 1>team and Tyrone kicked his butt and he was, you know,

0:09:15.000 --> 0:09:17.200
<v Speaker 1>that same thing, just kind of talking about pointers and

0:09:17.520 --> 0:09:19.920
<v Speaker 1>how you can get better, and he's gonna watch the tape,

0:09:20.000 --> 0:09:22.960
<v Speaker 1>and to his credit, he was like, I appreciate that.

0:09:23.000 --> 0:09:24.600
<v Speaker 1>I want to go against the best. It makes me better,

0:09:24.640 --> 0:09:28.040
<v Speaker 1>blah blah blah. In my mind, I was just like, really,

0:09:28.120 --> 0:09:30.559
<v Speaker 1>because it sounds fun to go against the sucky guy

0:09:30.640 --> 0:09:32.839
<v Speaker 1>to me. I mean, that's just every once in a while.

0:09:33.559 --> 0:09:35.400
<v Speaker 1>He just wanted to get a win. Everyone, Yeah, well

0:09:35.480 --> 0:09:38.240
<v Speaker 1>I need that ego boost. Yeah, but they here's the thing.

0:09:38.280 --> 0:09:40.000
<v Speaker 1>If he can get to a point where like like

0:09:40.000 --> 0:09:42.240
<v Speaker 1>like Nate was saying, if he wins one out of

0:09:42.240 --> 0:09:45.160
<v Speaker 1>every ten, two out of every ten, then he is

0:09:45.200 --> 0:09:48.480
<v Speaker 1>going to be better prepared to face those those tackles

0:09:48.480 --> 0:09:50.520
<v Speaker 1>that are not Tyren Smith, which guess what, you only

0:09:50.520 --> 0:09:52.559
<v Speaker 1>gonna probably face two or three of those in a season.

0:09:52.600 --> 0:09:55.000
<v Speaker 1>For the rest of my life, I'll remember my first

0:09:55.000 --> 0:09:57.480
<v Speaker 1>training camp twenty thirteen, Like me and Nick were just like,

0:09:58.280 --> 0:10:02.200
<v Speaker 1>Tyren Smith's gonna start a left tackle for because swear

0:10:04.640 --> 0:10:06.400
<v Speaker 1>he was wearing him out. All right, let's move on.

0:10:06.480 --> 0:10:09.120
<v Speaker 1>Let's talk a little bit about these injuries. Um, I

0:10:09.200 --> 0:10:11.040
<v Speaker 1>first want to talk about an injury that that kind

0:10:11.080 --> 0:10:12.920
<v Speaker 1>of popped up when we first got to camp. We

0:10:12.960 --> 0:10:15.760
<v Speaker 1>haven't gotten resolution on it. I'm wondering if there is

0:10:15.800 --> 0:10:18.600
<v Speaker 1>a head coming on this one. Cavon Frasier, there was

0:10:18.600 --> 0:10:21.000
<v Speaker 1>some tests being done on his on his blood work,

0:10:21.120 --> 0:10:23.800
<v Speaker 1>and there was some maybe some anomalies that popped up.

0:10:23.920 --> 0:10:25.720
<v Speaker 1>What do you guys know at this point about Cabon

0:10:26.280 --> 0:10:28.679
<v Speaker 1>the last that I have heard and I talked with

0:10:28.760 --> 0:10:33.960
<v Speaker 1>him briefly, and he's very upbeat and optimistic about it.

0:10:34.200 --> 0:10:37.840
<v Speaker 1>I think that he thinks and that the Cowboys think

0:10:37.880 --> 0:10:40.679
<v Speaker 1>that this is just a precautionary thing, but it's not.

0:10:40.880 --> 0:10:43.040
<v Speaker 1>It's something so serious that that you have to you know,

0:10:43.080 --> 0:10:45.640
<v Speaker 1>you have to take it um, you know, make sure

0:10:45.679 --> 0:10:47.960
<v Speaker 1>that you go through all the all the steps. It's

0:10:48.160 --> 0:10:50.240
<v Speaker 1>almost like a concussion where you know, yeah, I'm fine,

0:10:50.280 --> 0:10:53.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm fine. Well, let's just make sure that you are. Uh.

0:10:53.240 --> 0:10:56.720
<v Speaker 1>He's told me Tuesday, so tomorrow they'll be able to

0:10:56.720 --> 0:11:00.199
<v Speaker 1>get some results, okay, And and if the results are

0:11:00.240 --> 0:11:03.080
<v Speaker 1>what they are ninety five percent think that they will

0:11:03.160 --> 0:11:05.600
<v Speaker 1>be gets your helmet on and go play. That's what

0:11:05.679 --> 0:11:08.520
<v Speaker 1>he's thinking, That's what he's hoping. Good but sometimes players

0:11:08.559 --> 0:11:11.480
<v Speaker 1>say that and that that's not exactly what the trainers

0:11:11.480 --> 0:11:13.400
<v Speaker 1>and doctors say, but that's kind of what he said.

0:11:13.440 --> 0:11:16.120
<v Speaker 1>So he's got his fingers crossed that tomorrow he'll be

0:11:16.120 --> 0:11:17.760
<v Speaker 1>able to get the news he wants that he can

0:11:17.760 --> 0:11:20.920
<v Speaker 1>come back. All right, yesterday and practice, Chaz Green leaves

0:11:20.960 --> 0:11:24.760
<v Speaker 1>the field. What do we know about his situation, To

0:11:24.800 --> 0:11:26.920
<v Speaker 1>be honest with you, not a ton. Don't know a

0:11:27.000 --> 0:11:29.520
<v Speaker 1>lot on that. It's it's an off day. Jason Garrett

0:11:29.520 --> 0:11:32.120
<v Speaker 1>doesn't speak to the media. I don't. I don't know

0:11:32.160 --> 0:11:35.960
<v Speaker 1>if we've heard anything. Limped off right, that's I mean,

0:11:36.280 --> 0:11:42.280
<v Speaker 1>dehydrated the other day, limped off didn't return. Can't be

0:11:42.360 --> 0:11:44.320
<v Speaker 1>good for a guy. I mean, I'm looking at him

0:11:44.400 --> 0:11:46.880
<v Speaker 1>right now. I'm looking at Cameron Fleming, and Cameron Fleming

0:11:46.920 --> 0:11:49.480
<v Speaker 1>has been getting a lot of reps with Darren they're

0:11:49.559 --> 0:11:52.800
<v Speaker 1>kind of moving, tiring in and out, and Cameron Fleming

0:11:52.840 --> 0:11:56.240
<v Speaker 1>has looked really good. It's one of those situations where

0:11:57.080 --> 0:12:00.920
<v Speaker 1>Chaz needs the time out on the field, right, Yeah,

0:11:59.679 --> 0:12:03.600
<v Speaker 1>I just I mean, I know I'm saying something that's

0:12:03.800 --> 0:12:07.280
<v Speaker 1>common sense, but he needs that time. He needs something positive. Yeah,

0:12:07.360 --> 0:12:11.120
<v Speaker 1>he doesn't have anything really ever except for that one game.

0:12:11.160 --> 0:12:17.000
<v Speaker 1>I think ty or that yeah sixteen. I mean, he

0:12:18.080 --> 0:12:20.520
<v Speaker 1>he's just he needs he needs some reason to say,

0:12:20.559 --> 0:12:23.200
<v Speaker 1>oh yeah, this is this is you know what why

0:12:23.280 --> 0:12:25.439
<v Speaker 1>we need him around and not because he was drafted

0:12:25.480 --> 0:12:28.920
<v Speaker 1>in the third round that that's that's done. Now it's like,

0:12:28.960 --> 0:12:31.320
<v Speaker 1>what what are you doing for our football team? And

0:12:32.520 --> 0:12:36.000
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. I just it's a nice guy, you know,

0:12:36.080 --> 0:12:38.120
<v Speaker 1>and I hope he can turn it around. He just

0:12:38.200 --> 0:12:40.920
<v Speaker 1>he hasn't done anything. I've long thought that he had

0:12:40.920 --> 0:12:42.680
<v Speaker 1>a better chance to make the team than a lot

0:12:42.679 --> 0:12:44.800
<v Speaker 1>of people gave him credit for because of what happened.

0:12:44.920 --> 0:12:48.719
<v Speaker 1>Just he's got flexibility. Say what you will, but he

0:12:48.760 --> 0:12:52.760
<v Speaker 1>does um And with Tyron Smith's injury history, you probably

0:12:52.800 --> 0:12:55.680
<v Speaker 1>want as much insurance that tackle was possible. But and

0:12:56.360 --> 0:12:58.320
<v Speaker 1>I don't know the severity of the injury, but he

0:12:58.400 --> 0:13:00.560
<v Speaker 1>needs the reps if he's gonna make that happened. That

0:13:00.559 --> 0:13:03.400
<v Speaker 1>goes for anybody who's not a bona fide starter on

0:13:03.440 --> 0:13:06.880
<v Speaker 1>the team. So hopefully we'll get an update on him.

0:13:06.880 --> 0:13:08.960
<v Speaker 1>Hopefully it's not too bad. But I don't I don't

0:13:09.000 --> 0:13:11.680
<v Speaker 1>have a detailed updates. All right, give me a quick

0:13:11.720 --> 0:13:14.520
<v Speaker 1>update on Cedric Wilson who has a shoulder injury. He

0:13:14.520 --> 0:13:17.800
<v Speaker 1>he does have a shoulder injury. Uh. Jerry Jones said, well,

0:13:17.880 --> 0:13:20.440
<v Speaker 1>Jason Garrett said yesterday it's gonna be at least a

0:13:20.440 --> 0:13:22.760
<v Speaker 1>couple of days. And for Jason Garrett to put a

0:13:22.800 --> 0:13:26.160
<v Speaker 1>timeline on something other than day to day probably means

0:13:26.200 --> 0:13:29.559
<v Speaker 1>it's not I'm serious if I'm if he puts it,

0:13:29.760 --> 0:13:32.560
<v Speaker 1>If he if he puts an actual timeline on it,

0:13:32.559 --> 0:13:34.800
<v Speaker 1>by saying more than just a couple of days or

0:13:34.840 --> 0:13:36.960
<v Speaker 1>at least a couple of days, it's probably not good.

0:13:37.400 --> 0:13:39.480
<v Speaker 1>Jerry Jones confirmed that, I mean, it sounds like it's

0:13:39.520 --> 0:13:41.520
<v Speaker 1>gonna be a little while for him, at least maybe

0:13:41.640 --> 0:13:44.760
<v Speaker 1>a week, if not more. Yeah, um so. And I

0:13:44.800 --> 0:13:47.560
<v Speaker 1>mean that's that's a tough blow for a guy he's

0:13:47.559 --> 0:13:50.160
<v Speaker 1>already facing an upward battle just by you know, being

0:13:50.160 --> 0:13:53.320
<v Speaker 1>a sixth round pick or seventh round pick. Um, I

0:13:53.400 --> 0:13:55.880
<v Speaker 1>think sixth round pick, right, Yeah, I think we we've

0:13:56.080 --> 0:14:00.600
<v Speaker 1>we kind of all think there's five five receivers that

0:14:00.640 --> 0:14:03.320
<v Speaker 1>are gonna that are kind of locks, you know, like

0:14:03.720 --> 0:14:09.880
<v Speaker 1>Tavon and Beasley, Gallop, Hearns. You know, those five guys

0:14:09.880 --> 0:14:15.000
<v Speaker 1>are gonna make this team. So six to ten. You know,

0:14:15.040 --> 0:14:17.040
<v Speaker 1>there's there's one or two guys that are gonna come

0:14:17.040 --> 0:14:18.920
<v Speaker 1>out of that. I think they're all kind of right there,

0:14:18.960 --> 0:14:22.080
<v Speaker 1>you know, Lance, Lenore and which and actually and Cedric

0:14:22.160 --> 0:14:24.040
<v Speaker 1>would have been in that or I'm sure you, I'm

0:14:24.040 --> 0:14:25.400
<v Speaker 1>sure you were gonna get to this. But the other

0:14:25.440 --> 0:14:27.720
<v Speaker 1>one's Noah Brown, and he's got a hammy right now

0:14:28.680 --> 0:14:31.760
<v Speaker 1>yet and and and the leader of that next group

0:14:32.360 --> 0:14:35.080
<v Speaker 1>is Deontay Thompson because just because of the experience and

0:14:35.160 --> 0:14:37.200
<v Speaker 1>the speed that he you don't think deon Tick Thompson

0:14:37.280 --> 0:14:40.120
<v Speaker 1>is a He's definitely making this team. No way, No,

0:14:40.160 --> 0:14:42.720
<v Speaker 1>I'm not No. Just seems like I'm not saying I'm

0:14:42.720 --> 0:14:45.800
<v Speaker 1>saying there's no way he makes the team. I'm saying lock.

0:14:45.880 --> 0:14:47.520
<v Speaker 1>The only reason I say that is because I think

0:14:47.560 --> 0:14:49.400
<v Speaker 1>he's getting a lot of reps right now. It seems

0:14:49.440 --> 0:14:51.600
<v Speaker 1>like he's getting a lot of reps. And maybe that's

0:14:51.600 --> 0:14:54.280
<v Speaker 1>because Terrence isn't out there, and then that that affects it.

0:14:54.320 --> 0:14:57.800
<v Speaker 1>But but if one of these younger guys that really emerged,

0:14:57.840 --> 0:15:00.880
<v Speaker 1>if Cedric Wilson, let's say, would have would have stayed

0:15:00.920 --> 0:15:03.120
<v Speaker 1>healthy and just been really good at and shows some

0:15:03.200 --> 0:15:07.280
<v Speaker 1>downfield threats, or or you know, maybe you know Lance

0:15:07.400 --> 0:15:10.040
<v Speaker 1>Lenore or Kadi Cannon or or mckel McKay has kind

0:15:10.080 --> 0:15:13.560
<v Speaker 1>of come up a little bit. Hey, I think we've

0:15:13.600 --> 0:15:17.400
<v Speaker 1>done a good job of putting fans onto Lance Lenore.

0:15:18.080 --> 0:15:20.720
<v Speaker 1>And obviously you don't root for injuries. He doesn't root

0:15:20.760 --> 0:15:23.760
<v Speaker 1>for injuries, I'm sure. But things are aligning for him

0:15:23.760 --> 0:15:26.320
<v Speaker 1>to do some work here because Cedric Wilson and Noah

0:15:26.320 --> 0:15:28.840
<v Speaker 1>Brown are certainly two of his biggest competitors for a

0:15:28.920 --> 0:15:32.120
<v Speaker 1>roster spot. Dudes out here running with the first team

0:15:32.160 --> 0:15:35.160
<v Speaker 1>and I mean they're mixing and matching and everybody's getting

0:15:35.160 --> 0:15:37.960
<v Speaker 1>a look, but it is clear that they are giving

0:15:38.000 --> 0:15:41.120
<v Speaker 1>Lance Lenore an opportunity. Dak Prescott loves him. We know

0:15:41.200 --> 0:15:44.160
<v Speaker 1>that that's the type that happens at training camp. That's

0:15:44.160 --> 0:15:46.320
<v Speaker 1>you got to take advantage of those opportunities. So while

0:15:46.320 --> 0:15:48.600
<v Speaker 1>we wait for Noah and Cedric to get back, that's

0:15:49.200 --> 0:15:51.960
<v Speaker 1>I mean, Kadi and Deonte for sure, but Lancelenoor is

0:15:51.960 --> 0:15:54.040
<v Speaker 1>a guy that I've got both eyes on, well, Katie

0:15:54.080 --> 0:15:57.000
<v Speaker 1>Cannon and can run like the wind. But you know

0:15:57.080 --> 0:15:59.120
<v Speaker 1>you're saying bolts not in the NFL. Yeah, you know,

0:15:59.160 --> 0:16:01.240
<v Speaker 1>I mean you have to catch it. I mean he's

0:16:01.280 --> 0:16:05.360
<v Speaker 1>having a hard time with these tough catches. I've you know,

0:16:05.440 --> 0:16:07.440
<v Speaker 1>I obviously watch him a little bit more because I've

0:16:07.480 --> 0:16:10.040
<v Speaker 1>always thought that he's a talented player and he's really

0:16:10.040 --> 0:16:12.920
<v Speaker 1>really fast, but um, he's got to come up with those.

0:16:12.960 --> 0:16:14.720
<v Speaker 1>You know, sometimes the ball is not exactly where you

0:16:14.760 --> 0:16:16.000
<v Speaker 1>want it to be and you got to make these

0:16:16.000 --> 0:16:21.560
<v Speaker 1>tough catches. Mckel McKay, he he's he looks the party.

0:16:21.600 --> 0:16:23.680
<v Speaker 1>You know, he goes up and get and get it. Now.

0:16:24.080 --> 0:16:26.360
<v Speaker 1>I wonder McKay's I mean, he he had a circus

0:16:26.400 --> 0:16:30.160
<v Speaker 1>catch on Saturday. He almost had another one on Sunday. Uh.

0:16:30.320 --> 0:16:33.280
<v Speaker 1>He's interesting just in the sense that, like Noah Brown,

0:16:33.440 --> 0:16:35.320
<v Speaker 1>he's just he's got a body type that the rest

0:16:35.320 --> 0:16:37.440
<v Speaker 1>of these guys don't have him. He's six five, he's

0:16:37.480 --> 0:16:39.840
<v Speaker 1>not as he's not as bulky as Noah. I don't

0:16:39.840 --> 0:16:42.200
<v Speaker 1>know how he is in the blocking game, but you know,

0:16:42.240 --> 0:16:44.360
<v Speaker 1>if you're just looking for a way to diversify your

0:16:44.360 --> 0:16:47.120
<v Speaker 1>receiver group, he definitely stands out. What college are they

0:16:47.160 --> 0:16:49.280
<v Speaker 1>saying he's from, because I know he went to Arkansas

0:16:49.400 --> 0:16:52.280
<v Speaker 1>went to Arkansas, he was at Cincinnati. He's been out

0:16:52.280 --> 0:16:55.520
<v Speaker 1>of college for like two or three years, four to ten. Yeah,

0:16:56.040 --> 0:16:58.360
<v Speaker 1>big guys, lanky. Yeah, you can look when you look

0:16:58.360 --> 0:17:00.800
<v Speaker 1>at him, he's like, he's which big? What's because Noah's

0:17:00.840 --> 0:17:04.320
<v Speaker 1>Noah's six two twenty five, So I mean they're both big,

0:17:04.359 --> 0:17:07.120
<v Speaker 1>but Noah's got a little more. Yeah, he's thick, as

0:17:07.160 --> 0:17:10.800
<v Speaker 1>they say on Instagram. Yeah, yes, is that what they say? Yeah,

0:17:10.800 --> 0:17:12.760
<v Speaker 1>all right, let's go and take our first break. When

0:17:12.800 --> 0:17:14.200
<v Speaker 1>we come back, I do want to talk a little

0:17:14.200 --> 0:17:16.600
<v Speaker 1>bit about Shaun Lee. He has not been practicing. We

0:17:16.640 --> 0:17:18.600
<v Speaker 1>don't think at this point it's an injury related I'm

0:17:18.600 --> 0:17:20.760
<v Speaker 1>pretty sure it's not injury related, but he has not

0:17:20.880 --> 0:17:23.560
<v Speaker 1>been been practicing in team drills. It's been held out

0:17:23.640 --> 0:17:25.199
<v Speaker 1>quite a bit. We're gonna talk a little bit about that.

0:17:25.240 --> 0:17:27.359
<v Speaker 1>And Nick, you had an opportunity to talk to him

0:17:27.400 --> 0:17:28.880
<v Speaker 1>one on one, so we'll talk a little bit about

0:17:28.920 --> 0:17:30.359
<v Speaker 1>what some of the things you heard from him. Oh,

0:17:30.400 --> 0:17:33.640
<v Speaker 1>it's injury related, Okay, nice, we'll get to that. We'll

<v Speaker 1>twentieth I think it is nineteenth something like that. We

0:19:49.720 --> 0:19:53.240
<v Speaker 1>get back. All it really is, let's focus on now

0:19:53.359 --> 0:19:57.639
<v Speaker 1>and we're in Oxtar, California, Sunnyloint today, So let's talk

0:19:57.640 --> 0:20:00.720
<v Speaker 1>a little bit about Sean Lee NICKI had an opportunity

0:20:00.760 --> 0:20:03.520
<v Speaker 1>to talk to him yesterday. UM, I know you told

0:20:03.560 --> 0:20:05.800
<v Speaker 1>me you guys talked a little bit about kind of

0:20:05.800 --> 0:20:08.200
<v Speaker 1>what his status is. You talked a little bit about

0:20:08.200 --> 0:20:11.640
<v Speaker 1>his leadership and what he's thinking from that standpoint. Run

0:20:11.720 --> 0:20:15.440
<v Speaker 1>us through that conversation. Yeah, well, we basically just just

0:20:15.600 --> 0:20:17.280
<v Speaker 1>a couple of writers were able to talk to him,

0:20:17.280 --> 0:20:18.639
<v Speaker 1>which is always a good thing. We'll be able to

0:20:18.640 --> 0:20:22.119
<v Speaker 1>write something, um in a couple of days and really

0:20:22.320 --> 0:20:25.440
<v Speaker 1>go into kind of not not just from leadership standpoint,

0:20:25.440 --> 0:20:27.760
<v Speaker 1>but just kind of him embracing that role talking with

0:20:27.880 --> 0:20:31.520
<v Speaker 1>Jason Witten figuring out, you know, just kind of Okay,

0:20:31.800 --> 0:20:34.560
<v Speaker 1>this is this is my turn, this is me having

0:20:34.600 --> 0:20:37.680
<v Speaker 1>to wear this hat now and and what it really um,

0:20:37.720 --> 0:20:40.440
<v Speaker 1>what it really means, especially for the Dallas Cowboy, leader

0:20:40.480 --> 0:20:42.520
<v Speaker 1>of the team, and he was tested right off the

0:20:42.520 --> 0:20:45.080
<v Speaker 1>bat um with with the what happened with the with

0:20:45.119 --> 0:20:47.159
<v Speaker 1>the Dez Bryant thing, and he was uncomfortable with it.

0:20:47.200 --> 0:20:48.639
<v Speaker 1>He didn't like to do that. He doesn't want to

0:20:48.640 --> 0:20:51.119
<v Speaker 1>talk about former players and stuff like that. But this

0:20:51.280 --> 0:20:52.600
<v Speaker 1>is one of those things where you have to do

0:20:52.640 --> 0:20:54.240
<v Speaker 1>things you don't want to do. And then he had

0:20:54.280 --> 0:20:56.399
<v Speaker 1>to to step up. I thought he handled it the

0:20:56.440 --> 0:20:59.320
<v Speaker 1>right way and so but you know, he didn't want to,

0:20:59.440 --> 0:21:01.639
<v Speaker 1>but he kind of had to, which is what leaders

0:21:01.640 --> 0:21:04.320
<v Speaker 1>have to do. As far as him playing, he um,

0:21:04.359 --> 0:21:06.040
<v Speaker 1>you know, he said that that this is a plan.

0:21:06.160 --> 0:21:09.280
<v Speaker 1>They're just kind of easing him into this situation. This

0:21:09.359 --> 0:21:12.440
<v Speaker 1>isn't the same for everybody else. Some players, you know,

0:21:12.640 --> 0:21:15.840
<v Speaker 1>they they they're getting as many reps as as they

0:21:15.960 --> 0:21:19.040
<v Speaker 1>as they can. Um, Sean Lee's gonna get as many

0:21:19.040 --> 0:21:20.879
<v Speaker 1>reps as he needs. I think that that's kind of

0:21:20.880 --> 0:21:23.159
<v Speaker 1>the way that they're they're they're approaching this. And he

0:21:23.200 --> 0:21:25.800
<v Speaker 1>even admitted there was a hamstring injury last year in

0:21:25.960 --> 0:21:29.760
<v Speaker 1>camp and kind of plagued them throughout the season. So uh,

0:21:29.760 --> 0:21:31.800
<v Speaker 1>he was hoping to avoid things like that. And he

0:21:31.840 --> 0:21:36.080
<v Speaker 1>said when he just his window of we start here

0:21:36.119 --> 0:21:38.520
<v Speaker 1>and he is the first game. His is gonna be

0:21:38.600 --> 0:21:40.919
<v Speaker 1>a little bit later on and just moving forward. And

0:21:41.080 --> 0:21:43.000
<v Speaker 1>you can do that when you're eight or nine, you're

0:21:43.000 --> 0:21:46.200
<v Speaker 1>a veteran like this. I think it's gonna work. I hope,

0:21:46.600 --> 0:21:48.560
<v Speaker 1>you know. I don't know, and I don't know if

0:21:48.600 --> 0:21:52.440
<v Speaker 1>they know. You know, it's just like, why why take

0:21:52.520 --> 0:21:55.960
<v Speaker 1>the hits right now and deliver the hits. Let's just

0:21:56.000 --> 0:21:58.600
<v Speaker 1>wait and and let's let's start the process a little

0:21:58.600 --> 0:22:01.440
<v Speaker 1>bit later and we'll see they've tried everything. It's kind

0:22:01.440 --> 0:22:03.720
<v Speaker 1>of head scratching at this point with with how to

0:22:03.800 --> 0:22:06.400
<v Speaker 1>handle this situation with Shawn Lee. Maybe it works, maybe

0:22:06.400 --> 0:22:09.080
<v Speaker 1>it doesn't. You all know me. I mean, if he

0:22:09.160 --> 0:22:12.280
<v Speaker 1>doesn't want to practice at all, I'm good. Yeah, whatever,

0:22:12.320 --> 0:22:14.600
<v Speaker 1>I roll him out game day, come to the meetings,

0:22:14.760 --> 0:22:17.680
<v Speaker 1>you know, work out, go to the walkthrough, and we'll

0:22:17.680 --> 0:22:19.840
<v Speaker 1>see you September ninth. If that's I mean, if that's

0:22:19.840 --> 0:22:23.040
<v Speaker 1>what you gotta do, you've earned that, right, Yeah. I mean,

0:22:23.080 --> 0:22:24.480
<v Speaker 1>he's a good player, and he's gonna be a good

0:22:24.480 --> 0:22:26.160
<v Speaker 1>player whether he gets a whole bunch of reps out

0:22:26.160 --> 0:22:29.159
<v Speaker 1>here or not. The real hope, though, is that in

0:22:29.320 --> 0:22:31.879
<v Speaker 1>whatever they do, they can hopefully keep him from getting

0:22:31.880 --> 0:22:33.480
<v Speaker 1>injured this year. I mean, and know they make it

0:22:33.520 --> 0:22:36.199
<v Speaker 1>through a sixteen game season. Mickey's Mickey's not here, But

0:22:36.240 --> 0:22:37.919
<v Speaker 1>if he was here, he'd say, you just want to

0:22:38.000 --> 0:22:40.639
<v Speaker 1>roll him out there on September ninth, all rusty like that,

0:22:40.680 --> 0:22:42.600
<v Speaker 1>And I would be like, yeah, because rusty Shawn Lee's

0:22:42.800 --> 0:22:44.880
<v Speaker 1>still probably pretty good. But you know that's the flip

0:22:44.880 --> 0:22:46.680
<v Speaker 1>side to the flip side too, it is you also

0:22:46.720 --> 0:22:48.840
<v Speaker 1>have to prepare him though, Like you have to get

0:22:48.880 --> 0:22:50.919
<v Speaker 1>him ready to play, Like you can't really expect he's

0:22:51.000 --> 0:22:52.680
<v Speaker 1>gonna be able to run out there and play without

0:22:52.760 --> 0:22:56.320
<v Speaker 1>then Sean Lee, he's not ready, does not sleep, he waits,

0:22:56.600 --> 0:22:59.560
<v Speaker 1>you know what I mean, Like he's ready. He wakes

0:22:59.680 --> 0:23:03.800
<v Speaker 1>up spitting fire and eating nails and thinking about football.

0:23:03.880 --> 0:23:06.600
<v Speaker 1>Like he'll go to the meetings and he'll go to

0:23:06.600 --> 0:23:09.760
<v Speaker 1>the walkthrough and he'll be more intense than the next

0:23:09.800 --> 0:23:12.119
<v Speaker 1>most intense guy on the team regardless. Like it's like,

0:23:12.160 --> 0:23:14.960
<v Speaker 1>how do you not get injured with the way he plays?

0:23:15.359 --> 0:23:19.359
<v Speaker 1>He goes so hard at it that I mean, you're

0:23:19.400 --> 0:23:22.960
<v Speaker 1>just bound to eventually get an injury. And you know,

0:23:23.040 --> 0:23:26.000
<v Speaker 1>people want to complain about him and how weak he is,

0:23:26.320 --> 0:23:29.800
<v Speaker 1>you know, his injury wise, you know, But at the

0:23:29.840 --> 0:23:33.040
<v Speaker 1>same time, it's just like, how God, it's such because

0:23:33.119 --> 0:23:35.879
<v Speaker 1>you know, in twenty fifteen they moved him to will

0:23:36.280 --> 0:23:39.000
<v Speaker 1>and it was to help him, you know, get over

0:23:39.040 --> 0:23:42.280
<v Speaker 1>the injury issues, and he kicked it. He kicked it

0:23:42.320 --> 0:23:44.520
<v Speaker 1>for like two years. Like people would talk about him

0:23:44.520 --> 0:23:46.840
<v Speaker 1>getting hurt that really didn't happen for two whole seasons.

0:23:47.680 --> 0:23:50.840
<v Speaker 1>And you know, he has one year where he struggles

0:23:50.840 --> 0:23:55.560
<v Speaker 1>with hamstrings and there we are, so and it's it's justified.

0:23:55.600 --> 0:23:57.520
<v Speaker 1>I mean, he's had plenty of injuries over the course

0:23:57.520 --> 0:24:01.760
<v Speaker 1>of his career, but it sucks that, you know, two

0:24:01.840 --> 0:24:03.879
<v Speaker 1>years of hard work and staying healthy kind of get

0:24:03.920 --> 0:24:06.200
<v Speaker 1>thrown out the window after what happened last year. So

0:24:06.480 --> 0:24:08.399
<v Speaker 1>hopefully he can get back on the track he was on.

0:24:08.680 --> 0:24:11.879
<v Speaker 1>Not trying to jinx him. Um, but let's assume for

0:24:11.920 --> 0:24:14.639
<v Speaker 1>a second that something did it did happen, and he

0:24:14.880 --> 0:24:16.680
<v Speaker 1>was going to be out for an extended period of time.

0:24:17.000 --> 0:24:19.040
<v Speaker 1>Just in what you've seen over the last couple of days,

0:24:19.040 --> 0:24:21.640
<v Speaker 1>how do you feel about that linebacker position. It's way

0:24:21.640 --> 0:24:25.479
<v Speaker 1>too early. Honestly, I think safety and linebacker are like

0:24:25.520 --> 0:24:28.040
<v Speaker 1>two of the hardest positions to evaluate in training camp

0:24:28.040 --> 0:24:30.800
<v Speaker 1>because linebacker, to me is the hardest it is. It

0:24:30.920 --> 0:24:33.479
<v Speaker 1>is a position well and running. I mean, but we

0:24:33.560 --> 0:24:36.119
<v Speaker 1>know what we haven't Zeke like, I'm not worried about that.

0:24:36.440 --> 0:24:40.200
<v Speaker 1>But safety and linebacker are just predicated on hitting people

0:24:40.480 --> 0:24:43.040
<v Speaker 1>and being you know, so like you can judge somebody's angles,

0:24:43.119 --> 0:24:45.760
<v Speaker 1>you can judge, you know, but it's so hard to tell.

0:24:46.000 --> 0:24:47.800
<v Speaker 1>You know, all right, they're in position, Are they going

0:24:47.840 --> 0:24:50.640
<v Speaker 1>to make the tackle? Yeah? Um, so I can't sit

0:24:50.720 --> 0:24:54.320
<v Speaker 1>here and say like I feel great, but um, you know,

0:24:54.400 --> 0:24:56.439
<v Speaker 1>kind of like Cam Fleming on the offensive line, I

0:24:56.480 --> 0:24:59.520
<v Speaker 1>feel really good about what they did. Whether it works

0:24:59.520 --> 0:25:02.240
<v Speaker 1>out as any body's guests. But you know, let's say,

0:25:02.280 --> 0:25:04.360
<v Speaker 1>if Sean Lee goes down for an extended period of time,

0:25:04.400 --> 0:25:06.800
<v Speaker 1>if I had to guess, you're going to move Leyden

0:25:06.880 --> 0:25:08.960
<v Speaker 1>vander Esh to the week side. You're gonna play Jaylen

0:25:09.040 --> 0:25:11.120
<v Speaker 1>at Mike, and you're gonna have Joe Thomas to kind

0:25:11.119 --> 0:25:14.080
<v Speaker 1>of fill in behind them. And honestly, Joe Thomas is

0:25:14.119 --> 0:25:16.439
<v Speaker 1>a guy that we're probably not talking about enough just

0:25:16.480 --> 0:25:18.440
<v Speaker 1>in terms of the reps he's getting. He's getting first

0:25:18.440 --> 0:25:21.200
<v Speaker 1>team reps, he's playing in multiple spots, especially with Shan

0:25:21.320 --> 0:25:25.080
<v Speaker 1>not being out there, and you know, I don't want

0:25:25.080 --> 0:25:26.679
<v Speaker 1>to peg him in for the Pro Bowl, but I

0:25:26.680 --> 0:25:29.200
<v Speaker 1>think he's gonna be a nice He's one of those

0:25:29.600 --> 0:25:31.920
<v Speaker 1>kind of like Jeremy Mintzi was a few years ago.

0:25:31.960 --> 0:25:34.840
<v Speaker 1>He's one of those no frills, veteran additions that you're

0:25:34.840 --> 0:25:36.960
<v Speaker 1>going to really value by the time you're done playing

0:25:37.000 --> 0:25:41.919
<v Speaker 1>sixteen games. And so between those three guys, I feel

0:25:43.080 --> 0:25:46.520
<v Speaker 1>at least okay that the linebacking corps is not going

0:25:46.600 --> 0:25:48.640
<v Speaker 1>to fall apart the way that it did last year

0:25:48.680 --> 0:25:50.399
<v Speaker 1>when Sean went down. What do you think about Jayalen

0:25:50.520 --> 0:25:55.439
<v Speaker 1>right now? Again really hard to value. Let me let

0:25:55.440 --> 0:25:57.400
<v Speaker 1>me back up, because I think with Jayleen, the thing

0:25:57.440 --> 0:26:00.199
<v Speaker 1>about it is watching him move. I think tells you

0:26:00.240 --> 0:26:02.720
<v Speaker 1>a lot. We've been watching him move for the last year,

0:26:03.160 --> 0:26:06.000
<v Speaker 1>and I think there were moments in each at different

0:26:06.040 --> 0:26:07.520
<v Speaker 1>parts of the year where you were like, I think

0:26:07.520 --> 0:26:09.560
<v Speaker 1>he's moving pretty good, or I don't think he's moving

0:26:09.600 --> 0:26:11.600
<v Speaker 1>very well at all. I remember during training camp last year,

0:26:11.760 --> 0:26:14.440
<v Speaker 1>you guys are saying, I just something about the way

0:26:14.480 --> 0:26:17.280
<v Speaker 1>he runs. It's just doesn't seem fluid. What do you think,

0:26:17.320 --> 0:26:19.400
<v Speaker 1>just from the standpoint of how he looks and how

0:26:19.440 --> 0:26:22.439
<v Speaker 1>he moves. I think he looks good. I think he

0:26:22.480 --> 0:26:25.840
<v Speaker 1>looks better. I don't know. You know, people throw that

0:26:25.920 --> 0:26:27.880
<v Speaker 1>out there. I've heard it a million times, like he's

0:26:27.920 --> 0:26:31.280
<v Speaker 1>back to Notre Dame form. I hesitate, like I want

0:26:31.280 --> 0:26:34.000
<v Speaker 1>to see more in real setting before I believe that.

0:26:34.080 --> 0:26:36.919
<v Speaker 1>And honestly, I think if you try to read between

0:26:36.920 --> 0:26:41.879
<v Speaker 1>the lines the way you know Cowboys officials talk, you know,

0:26:41.960 --> 0:26:44.399
<v Speaker 1>I think they would trust Layton vander esh to do

0:26:44.520 --> 0:26:47.840
<v Speaker 1>the coverage aspect of playing linebacker more than Jalen Smith

0:26:47.920 --> 0:26:49.439
<v Speaker 1>right now. Oh that's a lot of the draft deal

0:26:49.480 --> 0:26:52.080
<v Speaker 1>was one reason, because he's lanky and he moves well

0:26:52.119 --> 0:26:56.040
<v Speaker 1>out there. I'm not I'm not sold that Jalen can

0:26:56.080 --> 0:26:57.880
<v Speaker 1>do that part of the job at a high level.

0:26:57.960 --> 0:26:59.640
<v Speaker 1>Yet he can do it, he did it last year,

0:26:59.680 --> 0:27:02.080
<v Speaker 1>but would at a high high level, I don't know.

0:27:02.400 --> 0:27:06.840
<v Speaker 1>I will say he looks great. He looks great moving

0:27:06.880 --> 0:27:09.320
<v Speaker 1>toward the line of scrimmage. You know, I took a

0:27:09.440 --> 0:27:12.560
<v Speaker 1>video the other day and actually, you know, people on

0:27:12.600 --> 0:27:15.280
<v Speaker 1>Twitter pointed it out to me because I was trying

0:27:15.320 --> 0:27:18.000
<v Speaker 1>to keep up with practice and wasn't really looking. Jalen

0:27:18.359 --> 0:27:21.040
<v Speaker 1>filled this run perfectly. I mean, you know, Zeke finishes

0:27:21.040 --> 0:27:22.680
<v Speaker 1>every run in the end zone like he always does.

0:27:22.760 --> 0:27:24.800
<v Speaker 1>But Jalen was right there and the whole shifted over

0:27:24.960 --> 0:27:27.080
<v Speaker 1>was waiting for him. Would have put a really nice

0:27:27.160 --> 0:27:28.800
<v Speaker 1>hit on him if it had been a real practice.

0:27:28.800 --> 0:27:32.240
<v Speaker 1>So in that regard, he looks awesome when he can

0:27:32.280 --> 0:27:35.000
<v Speaker 1>just move downhill and use that athleticism. It's the stuff

0:27:35.080 --> 0:27:37.520
<v Speaker 1>moving away from the line of scrimmage that I don't

0:27:37.520 --> 0:27:41.240
<v Speaker 1>know about yet, but I'm I'm not betting against him.

0:27:41.240 --> 0:27:44.240
<v Speaker 1>I just want to see more. All right, let's move on.

0:27:44.359 --> 0:27:46.679
<v Speaker 1>I have a couple questions for you guys that that

0:27:46.840 --> 0:27:50.280
<v Speaker 1>kind of will recap the first week of training camp,

0:27:50.280 --> 0:27:51.639
<v Speaker 1>and I want to get you guys to answer this

0:27:51.680 --> 0:27:54.280
<v Speaker 1>and kind of tell me what your thoughts are here. Also,

0:27:54.359 --> 0:27:56.360
<v Speaker 1>for you guys out there listening, if you'd like to

0:27:56.400 --> 0:27:58.200
<v Speaker 1>give us a question, you can call us. The number

0:27:58.359 --> 0:28:01.080
<v Speaker 1>is nine seven two four nine having forty four hundred.

0:28:01.080 --> 0:28:04.800
<v Speaker 1>Again it is nine seven two four nine seven forty

0:28:04.800 --> 0:28:07.240
<v Speaker 1>four hundred. We will also take your phone calls and

0:28:07.280 --> 0:28:10.560
<v Speaker 1>your comments as the show progresses. So let's start with

0:28:10.600 --> 0:28:15.240
<v Speaker 1>some of these questions. Um, who's emerging as your standout player?

0:28:15.359 --> 0:28:19.600
<v Speaker 1>So far, we've had two padded practices in the very

0:28:19.640 --> 0:28:21.800
<v Speaker 1>short term of what we've been able to see, who's

0:28:21.880 --> 0:28:25.280
<v Speaker 1>kind of standing out as your your most uh your

0:28:25.320 --> 0:28:28.040
<v Speaker 1>standout player for camp so far, when you got a

0:28:28.200 --> 0:28:31.359
<v Speaker 1>g man, hold on, let me think about it. I

0:28:31.400 --> 0:28:33.639
<v Speaker 1>got it. Then Nick abandoned us, So I'm gonna I'm

0:28:33.680 --> 0:28:37.000
<v Speaker 1>gonna steal his line and say Byron and Tyron, Byron

0:28:37.000 --> 0:28:39.520
<v Speaker 1>and Tyn day rhyme arm Tyn. I mean, you know

0:28:39.560 --> 0:28:42.240
<v Speaker 1>what you have in Tyron Smith. But it's I wrote

0:28:42.280 --> 0:28:45.080
<v Speaker 1>this yesterday too, Like as much as we have fretted

0:28:45.120 --> 0:28:48.360
<v Speaker 1>about his health, it's nice to see him out here, healthy,

0:28:48.480 --> 0:28:51.440
<v Speaker 1>looking like the best tackle in football, which is exactly

0:28:51.520 --> 0:28:53.800
<v Speaker 1>what he looked like yesterday. And then, like I said,

0:28:53.880 --> 0:28:57.360
<v Speaker 1>it's it's just been two really nice practices for Byron Jones.

0:28:57.360 --> 0:28:59.480
<v Speaker 1>And you're not gonna win every single rep at cornerback,

0:28:59.480 --> 0:29:02.160
<v Speaker 1>that's the name through the job. But he's made two

0:29:02.200 --> 0:29:04.760
<v Speaker 1>really nice plays and had three or four other moments

0:29:04.760 --> 0:29:08.080
<v Speaker 1>where like I said, he just looks he looks comfortable there,

0:29:08.080 --> 0:29:11.040
<v Speaker 1>and maybe I shouldn't be surprised he played cornerback in college,

0:29:11.120 --> 0:29:14.320
<v Speaker 1>but I am a little surprised. So it's it's nice

0:29:14.360 --> 0:29:16.880
<v Speaker 1>to see him taking to it quickly. So those are

0:29:16.960 --> 0:29:20.880
<v Speaker 1>my two, all right, Amber, I don't I'm you know,

0:29:20.960 --> 0:29:25.200
<v Speaker 1>I talk about Charles Tapper and this is a one

0:29:25.240 --> 0:29:29.480
<v Speaker 1>that people don't like hearing about him anymore. Tap, but Tapper,

0:29:29.920 --> 0:29:32.240
<v Speaker 1>he is a guy that he does have talent. He

0:29:32.400 --> 0:29:35.440
<v Speaker 1>has he has flexibility in his body, he has the

0:29:35.480 --> 0:29:39.480
<v Speaker 1>ability to move. The problem is he hasn't been healthy

0:29:39.560 --> 0:29:42.160
<v Speaker 1>enough and it's unfortunate. I mean, he has such a

0:29:42.160 --> 0:29:45.200
<v Speaker 1>bad luck and he's always getting injury and that has

0:29:45.320 --> 0:29:50.120
<v Speaker 1>prevented him from showcasing his talent. Now he's been making

0:29:50.120 --> 0:29:53.560
<v Speaker 1>some moves out here and looking pretty good. So again,

0:29:53.640 --> 0:29:56.240
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to get excited again. This was the

0:29:56.280 --> 0:29:59.120
<v Speaker 1>same story last year, me getting excited about him and

0:29:59.160 --> 0:30:03.800
<v Speaker 1>then this appointment again. But as of right now, I'm

0:30:03.920 --> 0:30:07.320
<v Speaker 1>rooting for him and it's exciting a little bit to

0:30:07.480 --> 0:30:11.120
<v Speaker 1>see him moving around the way he's doing it. Okay, Um,

0:30:11.520 --> 0:30:13.480
<v Speaker 1>you know one guy I'll throw out that I don't

0:30:13.480 --> 0:30:15.680
<v Speaker 1>think we've talked a lot about on this show so far.

0:30:15.960 --> 0:30:19.800
<v Speaker 1>It's Cole Beasley and he's been a guy that's I mean,

0:30:19.840 --> 0:30:22.400
<v Speaker 1>we always knew that that Cole had you know, really

0:30:22.440 --> 0:30:25.840
<v Speaker 1>good feet, He ran really good routes. But one thing

0:30:25.840 --> 0:30:28.000
<v Speaker 1>I've been noticing, and I'll even extrapolate this out a

0:30:28.040 --> 0:30:31.720
<v Speaker 1>little bit beyond just Cole um I think I think

0:30:31.720 --> 0:30:34.400
<v Speaker 1>I've noticed so far that these receivers get a bit

0:30:34.440 --> 0:30:37.520
<v Speaker 1>more separation than what we were seeing last year. And

0:30:37.560 --> 0:30:39.000
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if I don't, I don't want to

0:30:39.000 --> 0:30:41.320
<v Speaker 1>blame that on cornerback player or whatever. It just looks

0:30:41.320 --> 0:30:43.200
<v Speaker 1>like to me, they're much more precise in their routes

0:30:43.320 --> 0:30:45.840
<v Speaker 1>because the separation they're getting it seems like they're getting

0:30:45.840 --> 0:30:47.760
<v Speaker 1>it off their breaks. They come out of their breaks,

0:30:47.880 --> 0:30:49.920
<v Speaker 1>they explode out of their breaks, and that gets them

0:30:49.960 --> 0:30:51.720
<v Speaker 1>a little bit of separation for the quarterback to be

0:30:51.760 --> 0:30:53.760
<v Speaker 1>able to get the ball there. I think I'm seeing

0:30:53.760 --> 0:30:56.120
<v Speaker 1>that a lot with Cole and that's one of the

0:30:56.120 --> 0:30:59.600
<v Speaker 1>things I think. If Cole Beasley is playing like that,

0:31:00.040 --> 0:31:02.360
<v Speaker 1>I think he presents a really great target for the

0:31:02.440 --> 0:31:04.760
<v Speaker 1>quarterback because he does have the ability because of his

0:31:04.840 --> 0:31:07.080
<v Speaker 1>quickness to get in and out of breaks quickly and

0:31:07.120 --> 0:31:09.239
<v Speaker 1>to be able to buy himself a little separation. But

0:31:09.280 --> 0:31:12.200
<v Speaker 1>he's looked really good out here. This is gonna sound elementary,

0:31:12.360 --> 0:31:15.560
<v Speaker 1>but you know, we talk about defenses. We're able to

0:31:15.640 --> 0:31:17.840
<v Speaker 1>key on him and take him away. And there's got

0:31:17.840 --> 0:31:19.760
<v Speaker 1>to be a way you can, you know, scheme for

0:31:19.840 --> 0:31:22.800
<v Speaker 1>him to get a little more open and get better looks. Well,

0:31:23.520 --> 0:31:25.360
<v Speaker 1>maybe just put him in more spots on the field.

0:31:25.400 --> 0:31:28.600
<v Speaker 1>I mean, yeah, I've never coached to offense at any

0:31:28.680 --> 0:31:31.280
<v Speaker 1>level of football, but if a guy's only lining up

0:31:31.320 --> 0:31:33.920
<v Speaker 1>in one place on the field every time, it seems

0:31:33.920 --> 0:31:36.080
<v Speaker 1>like it's easier to scheme for him, So move him

0:31:36.080 --> 0:31:39.080
<v Speaker 1>to more spots. Which, yeah, I don't think Scott Lenahan's

0:31:39.120 --> 0:31:42.080
<v Speaker 1>gonna be sending Cole Beasley on go routes very often,

0:31:42.200 --> 0:31:44.480
<v Speaker 1>but put him in more spots on the field makes

0:31:44.520 --> 0:31:46.600
<v Speaker 1>him harder to defend. But that being said, he's been

0:31:46.640 --> 0:31:48.160
<v Speaker 1>on the outside quite a bit out here, That's what

0:31:48.200 --> 0:31:49.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm saying. I saw, Yeah, I know, I'm and I'm

0:31:49.640 --> 0:31:52.440
<v Speaker 1>just glad clarifying that. Yeah, and even yesterday I saw

0:31:52.520 --> 0:31:54.520
<v Speaker 1>him run a go route. Like they've used him a

0:31:54.520 --> 0:31:56.479
<v Speaker 1>lot of different places, doing a lot of the I mean,

0:31:56.520 --> 0:31:59.239
<v Speaker 1>they've sent Tavon down the field too, which I mean, like,

0:32:00.000 --> 0:32:02.640
<v Speaker 1>I'll be interested to see how that translates to games.

0:32:02.680 --> 0:32:05.440
<v Speaker 1>But give him more to do, put him in more spots,

0:32:05.560 --> 0:32:07.640
<v Speaker 1>put him on the field at the same time, give

0:32:07.800 --> 0:32:10.640
<v Speaker 1>me my ten personnel. Yeah, and I think it will

0:32:10.720 --> 0:32:13.880
<v Speaker 1>pay difference to your point about running. You know, one

0:32:13.920 --> 0:32:16.520
<v Speaker 1>of the things that I've noticed a lot of the times,

0:32:16.520 --> 0:32:20.200
<v Speaker 1>just a relationship between him and Dak, how connected they

0:32:20.280 --> 0:32:24.320
<v Speaker 1>seem to be. That are times when Beasley's running a route,

0:32:24.560 --> 0:32:26.560
<v Speaker 1>he's not even looking, and as soon as he turns

0:32:26.560 --> 0:32:29.719
<v Speaker 1>around around, the ball is right there. So they know

0:32:29.800 --> 0:32:32.120
<v Speaker 1>exactly where to be and where the ball is gonna

0:32:32.120 --> 0:32:34.680
<v Speaker 1>be at. And Cole doesn't even have to keep his

0:32:34.720 --> 0:32:37.280
<v Speaker 1>eye turned around. You know, he can run his route,

0:32:37.320 --> 0:32:39.880
<v Speaker 1>run around, but turn around and catch the ball right away.

0:32:39.960 --> 0:32:42.200
<v Speaker 1>He saw on that one on one where he beat Cheeto,

0:32:42.560 --> 0:32:45.040
<v Speaker 1>he still started out on the outside. He still ended

0:32:45.120 --> 0:32:47.000
<v Speaker 1>up back in the middle. That's where I think he's

0:32:47.040 --> 0:32:51.080
<v Speaker 1>gonna still want to be. But last year they, I

0:32:51.080 --> 0:32:53.240
<v Speaker 1>think teams figured out, Okay, this is how we can

0:32:53.320 --> 0:32:56.560
<v Speaker 1>stop him like this. So now the counter is start

0:32:56.680 --> 0:32:59.600
<v Speaker 1>him in different places. His bread and butter is still

0:32:59.600 --> 0:33:01.920
<v Speaker 1>gonna be the middle, you know. That's and that's where

0:33:01.920 --> 0:33:04.600
<v Speaker 1>you can find him, you know better. That's where Dak's

0:33:04.600 --> 0:33:06.960
<v Speaker 1>gonna actually see him better. But I think that the

0:33:07.040 --> 0:33:10.320
<v Speaker 1>starting points gonna be from different spots. All right, let's uh, Nick,

0:33:10.360 --> 0:33:12.440
<v Speaker 1>we the question AD throw out to these guys and

0:33:12.440 --> 0:33:14.400
<v Speaker 1>I'll give you an opportunity to answer as well. Was

0:33:15.000 --> 0:33:17.640
<v Speaker 1>who's the player that's emerged as you're as your kind

0:33:17.680 --> 0:33:20.640
<v Speaker 1>of star off camp so far through these first couple

0:33:20.640 --> 0:33:24.680
<v Speaker 1>of days. Well, I mean, I just it's refreshing to

0:33:24.680 --> 0:33:26.640
<v Speaker 1>see Tyrn but kind of back at that level. Well,

0:33:26.720 --> 0:33:29.840
<v Speaker 1>hopefully he stays that way. He's he's one of their

0:33:30.160 --> 0:33:33.280
<v Speaker 1>best players. Um, I mean him and Sean Lee and

0:33:33.360 --> 0:33:35.680
<v Speaker 1>Zeke and all that. Um. I thought Dak has looked

0:33:35.720 --> 0:33:38.200
<v Speaker 1>really good though. I mean, I think I'll just say

0:33:38.240 --> 0:33:40.400
<v Speaker 1>it from that standpoint, I mean, I don't know who

0:33:40.640 --> 0:33:43.000
<v Speaker 1>do you guys picked. Nobody had picked Dak, so that's

0:33:43.000 --> 0:33:46.400
<v Speaker 1>a good one. I just think he I like. I

0:33:46.560 --> 0:33:49.440
<v Speaker 1>like the the the offense that we're seeing that of him,

0:33:49.800 --> 0:33:54.000
<v Speaker 1>intermediate throws but also deep slants, deep you know, deep

0:33:54.040 --> 0:33:57.600
<v Speaker 1>outside down the field stuff too. And and and we

0:33:57.640 --> 0:33:59.280
<v Speaker 1>haven't even gotten to the point where he's gonna be

0:33:59.320 --> 0:34:02.360
<v Speaker 1>able to run the ball. And Zeke runs the ball,

0:34:02.360 --> 0:34:04.840
<v Speaker 1>which opens things up even more. But just to the

0:34:04.920 --> 0:34:07.320
<v Speaker 1>connection with him and the receivers, I thought it's been

0:34:07.360 --> 0:34:10.560
<v Speaker 1>pretty good so far. All right, let's say, Hey, let's

0:34:10.560 --> 0:34:11.839
<v Speaker 1>take a phone call real quick. We got a call

0:34:11.880 --> 0:34:14.839
<v Speaker 1>from Al in Pennsylvania. Al. What up? Hey, how you doing?

0:34:16.200 --> 0:34:18.960
<v Speaker 1>Just a quick question. Is there any chance that we

0:34:19.080 --> 0:34:21.720
<v Speaker 1>might see uh, Rod Smith line up in a fullback

0:34:21.760 --> 0:34:24.880
<v Speaker 1>position and get some carries out of that position, because

0:34:24.920 --> 0:34:26.640
<v Speaker 1>I kind of missed us. If we're gonna be a

0:34:26.719 --> 0:34:28.880
<v Speaker 1>full bore running team, I'd like to see the fullback

0:34:29.160 --> 0:34:31.160
<v Speaker 1>get some carries. And I think he could carry the

0:34:31.200 --> 0:34:33.200
<v Speaker 1>ball out there in all the wiley It's just that

0:34:33.320 --> 0:34:35.680
<v Speaker 1>could Rod Smith block a little bit? All right? Thanks

0:34:35.719 --> 0:34:38.560
<v Speaker 1>for the call? Yeah, I mean you could. You're running

0:34:38.600 --> 0:34:42.120
<v Speaker 1>back always will carry the ball better than than you're fullback,

0:34:42.200 --> 0:34:44.080
<v Speaker 1>but that's not really why he's out there, and that

0:34:44.280 --> 0:34:46.960
<v Speaker 1>you know, Um, I think you might see some some

0:34:47.040 --> 0:34:50.520
<v Speaker 1>things out of Rod Smith. Um. I'm tempted to say no,

0:34:50.680 --> 0:34:52.920
<v Speaker 1>just because they tried to move him to fullback already

0:34:52.960 --> 0:34:56.000
<v Speaker 1>and they didn't really take right uh And I get.

0:34:56.120 --> 0:34:57.960
<v Speaker 1>I mean, yeah, Rod is a running back and you

0:34:58.000 --> 0:34:59.560
<v Speaker 1>would assume he's going to carry it better than all

0:34:59.600 --> 0:35:02.200
<v Speaker 1>the wallet. But I'll about anybody ten dollars right now.

0:35:02.280 --> 0:35:04.719
<v Speaker 1>They're gonna keep Jimmy's solo Wali on this team, so

0:35:05.080 --> 0:35:08.719
<v Speaker 1>he's your full back slash h back. I am you

0:35:08.719 --> 0:35:11.879
<v Speaker 1>know this is not really what you asked, But when

0:35:11.920 --> 0:35:14.520
<v Speaker 1>you factor in that Tavon Austin will probably do some

0:35:14.600 --> 0:35:17.840
<v Speaker 1>running back related things. I wonder if maybe they'll do

0:35:18.440 --> 0:35:21.279
<v Speaker 1>a little bit more twenty one personnel than we're used to.

0:35:21.440 --> 0:35:24.040
<v Speaker 1>I mean that's two two running backs, one tight end,

0:35:24.480 --> 0:35:29.600
<v Speaker 1>three wide receivers or two wide receivers. I'm sorry, And

0:35:29.800 --> 0:35:31.560
<v Speaker 1>you know, just the talent that you have at running

0:35:31.560 --> 0:35:35.919
<v Speaker 1>back the fullback, plus you don't love your tight ends

0:35:35.960 --> 0:35:37.360
<v Speaker 1>the way you used to that you would want to

0:35:37.400 --> 0:35:40.080
<v Speaker 1>run twelve personnel with Jason Witten. I don't know, just

0:35:40.160 --> 0:35:42.120
<v Speaker 1>an idea. I think maybe you might see more of

0:35:42.120 --> 0:35:44.120
<v Speaker 1>that this year. Yeah, and I could even see a

0:35:44.160 --> 0:35:46.799
<v Speaker 1>situation where they have a Loali lined up in the

0:35:46.920 --> 0:35:49.080
<v Speaker 1>H back position. You mentioned him being H back. I

0:35:49.120 --> 0:35:50.920
<v Speaker 1>could see him there, and it kind of gives the

0:35:51.000 --> 0:35:53.840
<v Speaker 1>look of a twelve personnel although you have an extra

0:35:54.080 --> 0:35:56.880
<v Speaker 1>basically an extra running back, but he's lined up outside

0:35:56.880 --> 0:35:58.960
<v Speaker 1>your tackle versus being lined up in the backfield, and

0:35:58.960 --> 0:36:02.120
<v Speaker 1>that gives him that twelve look without necessarily having a

0:36:02.160 --> 0:36:04.520
<v Speaker 1>second tight end. We've talked about it on this show before,

0:36:05.280 --> 0:36:08.200
<v Speaker 1>I would guess this team keeps three tight ends and

0:36:08.320 --> 0:36:10.640
<v Speaker 1>Ola Wally's ability to do that type of stuff is

0:36:10.680 --> 0:36:12.879
<v Speaker 1>why you don't need the extra body. I think Ola

0:36:12.960 --> 0:36:16.359
<v Speaker 1>Wally is one of the more underrated or players on

0:36:16.400 --> 0:36:19.120
<v Speaker 1>this offense, just guys that are going under the radar.

0:36:19.239 --> 0:36:21.640
<v Speaker 1>I think his skill set is so unique. It's not

0:36:21.680 --> 0:36:23.759
<v Speaker 1>going to be like Keith Smith at fullback. It's going

0:36:23.800 --> 0:36:26.239
<v Speaker 1>to be a different type of fullback, but it's one

0:36:26.320 --> 0:36:28.680
<v Speaker 1>like like you said, Dave, I don't think they'll need

0:36:29.000 --> 0:36:32.560
<v Speaker 1>to go heavy at tight end because I think it's

0:36:32.560 --> 0:36:35.520
<v Speaker 1>almost like three and a half tight ends, three tight

0:36:35.600 --> 0:36:39.239
<v Speaker 1>ends and then and then him, which isn't good for

0:36:39.480 --> 0:36:41.120
<v Speaker 1>those guys at the back end of tight end. But

0:36:41.239 --> 0:36:43.280
<v Speaker 1>now I will bring this up though, as I'm watching

0:36:43.320 --> 0:36:47.320
<v Speaker 1>these tight ends play there, it's ever been several times

0:36:47.320 --> 0:36:49.399
<v Speaker 1>I've seen these guys get pushed around quite a bit.

0:36:49.800 --> 0:36:52.440
<v Speaker 1>Blake Jarwin, I think he's kind of light and uh

0:36:52.480 --> 0:36:54.160
<v Speaker 1>and he's gonna have to get a lot stronger. I

0:36:54.200 --> 0:36:56.520
<v Speaker 1>think it wouldn't be able to be a good blocking

0:36:56.560 --> 0:36:59.120
<v Speaker 1>option for this I know. But but when I'm saying,

0:36:59.200 --> 0:37:00.920
<v Speaker 1>if you're watching it out there and maybe it's not

0:37:01.120 --> 0:37:03.359
<v Speaker 1>size as much as his strength. But when you watch

0:37:03.400 --> 0:37:05.240
<v Speaker 1>him out there, I've seen a couple of different instances

0:37:05.239 --> 0:37:08.240
<v Speaker 1>where he's just kind of gotten moved as the defensive

0:37:08.239 --> 0:37:10.680
<v Speaker 1>lineman wanted to move him. To go back to the

0:37:10.719 --> 0:37:13.640
<v Speaker 1>first contact of training camp when they did podrills at

0:37:13.680 --> 0:37:17.359
<v Speaker 1>the Charles Tapper just dumped Jarwin like, I mean, like

0:37:17.360 --> 0:37:20.480
<v Speaker 1>a sack of laundry, right, pretty awesome. Yeah, And I've

0:37:20.520 --> 0:37:22.759
<v Speaker 1>seen and here's the interesting thing. As big as Rico is,

0:37:22.800 --> 0:37:24.759
<v Speaker 1>I've seen Rico get moved like that as well. And

0:37:24.800 --> 0:37:27.000
<v Speaker 1>again that's about learning how to play with leverage and

0:37:27.000 --> 0:37:28.799
<v Speaker 1>those kinds of things. I just don't think right now.

0:37:29.920 --> 0:37:32.520
<v Speaker 1>I just don't know if they have great options at

0:37:32.520 --> 0:37:34.800
<v Speaker 1>tight end when it comes to blocking, which again says

0:37:34.880 --> 0:37:39.839
<v Speaker 1>why a guy's like Jam's is your best option right there?

0:37:40.000 --> 0:37:43.120
<v Speaker 1>There will be another tight end from another team in there.

0:37:43.480 --> 0:37:46.640
<v Speaker 1>You think, yeah, that wouldn't be shocking, and then almost

0:37:46.680 --> 0:37:49.400
<v Speaker 1>happens every year, but just depends on what kind. But

0:37:49.520 --> 0:37:52.399
<v Speaker 1>I my prediction is is that but before the start

0:37:52.440 --> 0:37:54.080
<v Speaker 1>of the season, there will be a tight end that

0:37:54.120 --> 0:37:56.719
<v Speaker 1>we've heard of, just some guy. If it's bounced around

0:37:56.719 --> 0:37:58.439
<v Speaker 1>a little bit, there's a guy like, oh, they're bringing

0:37:58.520 --> 0:38:03.560
<v Speaker 1>him in. Oh, okay, Fasano available. Yeah, I don't think

0:38:03.600 --> 0:38:05.239
<v Speaker 1>they're going back there now, you don't think they're going

0:38:05.280 --> 0:38:07.400
<v Speaker 1>back there. Let's like a surprise. He's still in the

0:38:07.480 --> 0:38:09.279
<v Speaker 1>league though. Yeah. It's pretty good around for a while.

0:38:09.360 --> 0:38:11.160
<v Speaker 1>Good career. Let's go ahead and take our final break.

0:40:25.280 --> 0:40:29.680
<v Speaker 1>of the break live from Oxnard, California. We're talking Cowboys football.

0:40:29.719 --> 0:40:32.120
<v Speaker 1>We got about twenty minutes left on the show. Um,

0:40:32.200 --> 0:40:34.200
<v Speaker 1>let's go through some more these questions that are kind

0:40:34.200 --> 0:40:37.400
<v Speaker 1>of wrapping up this first week of training camp. We

0:40:37.480 --> 0:40:39.719
<v Speaker 1>talked a little bit about the emerging players. Give me

0:40:39.760 --> 0:40:41.759
<v Speaker 1>a player that needs to step it up a bit,

0:40:41.800 --> 0:40:43.719
<v Speaker 1>A guy that maybe you want to see more from

0:40:43.719 --> 0:40:47.040
<v Speaker 1>that you really haven't seen enough of let's start with you,

0:40:47.160 --> 0:40:50.319
<v Speaker 1>Dave put me on the spot. Why don't you I

0:40:50.360 --> 0:40:57.439
<v Speaker 1>did correct? Like I really don't know. Um, I'm gonna

0:40:57.440 --> 0:40:59.360
<v Speaker 1>sound like a homer for a second, Like I actually

0:40:59.400 --> 0:41:01.200
<v Speaker 1>you know. We did raining camp live me and Brian

0:41:01.320 --> 0:41:04.520
<v Speaker 1>yesterday during the tail end of practice, and the point

0:41:04.560 --> 0:41:09.560
<v Speaker 1>I kept trying to make was Okay, not everybody's perfect.

0:41:09.680 --> 0:41:11.799
<v Speaker 1>You know you're gonna have bad reps. Michael Gallup had

0:41:11.840 --> 0:41:13.759
<v Speaker 1>a bad day yesterday. He had some drops, but like

0:41:14.480 --> 0:41:17.080
<v Speaker 1>it really seems like everybody at this camp is putting

0:41:17.120 --> 0:41:19.560
<v Speaker 1>their best foot forward in these first few practices, Like

0:41:19.840 --> 0:41:22.360
<v Speaker 1>the dbs have made some good plays. Cheeto had a

0:41:22.360 --> 0:41:25.960
<v Speaker 1>great knock away. We talked plenty about Byron Dak has

0:41:26.000 --> 0:41:30.080
<v Speaker 1>made some great throws. He's thrown some picks, not some picks.

0:41:30.080 --> 0:41:33.360
<v Speaker 1>He threw one pick. Beasley's had a good day. But

0:41:33.600 --> 0:41:37.040
<v Speaker 1>for the most like, I haven't noticed anybody who just

0:41:37.239 --> 0:41:40.399
<v Speaker 1>is sucking. Like it seems like everybody really came to play.

0:41:40.440 --> 0:41:43.120
<v Speaker 1>I mean, it's disappointing for Chads Green if his injury

0:41:43.200 --> 0:41:45.560
<v Speaker 1>is serious. Just what we know about him that ain't great.

0:41:47.160 --> 0:41:49.960
<v Speaker 1>And you'd love to see these young receivers. Noah Brown

0:41:50.000 --> 0:41:51.799
<v Speaker 1>has been my pet cats since he got drafted. So

0:41:51.880 --> 0:41:55.440
<v Speaker 1>I'm bummed that he's not practicing, but nobody really comes

0:41:55.440 --> 0:41:59.239
<v Speaker 1>to mind that's just dogging it as of yet at least. Yeah,

0:41:58.840 --> 0:42:02.640
<v Speaker 1>I mean you said who needs to step it up?

0:42:02.680 --> 0:42:04.920
<v Speaker 1>I think if you just ask the person, ask the

0:42:04.960 --> 0:42:07.200
<v Speaker 1>player that you know, most of them will say, well,

0:42:07.200 --> 0:42:15.200
<v Speaker 1>we all do. But I'll say, um, Tyrone Crawford because

0:42:15.680 --> 0:42:18.760
<v Speaker 1>of what that needs to happen for that entire group,

0:42:18.920 --> 0:42:20.799
<v Speaker 1>and and good luck. I mean, he's gonna have to

0:42:20.800 --> 0:42:25.280
<v Speaker 1>go up against he's going against Tyron, but if he

0:42:25.440 --> 0:42:27.600
<v Speaker 1>can win, he's got to win one. He's got to

0:42:27.600 --> 0:42:30.239
<v Speaker 1>win a couple win and then that'll help the other

0:42:30.280 --> 0:42:32.279
<v Speaker 1>guys as well. He's got to set the tone. He

0:42:32.320 --> 0:42:33.919
<v Speaker 1>wants to be the leader of that group. He's gonna

0:42:33.960 --> 0:42:36.200
<v Speaker 1>have to do it. Yeah, It's it's not easy. And

0:42:35.960 --> 0:42:38.760
<v Speaker 1>then whoever's going up against Travis Frederick is not easy.

0:42:38.840 --> 0:42:40.480
<v Speaker 1>It's not easy against that mark. It's not easy to

0:42:40.480 --> 0:42:43.680
<v Speaker 1>continuing those guys because the one thing about Connor Williams

0:42:43.800 --> 0:42:47.120
<v Speaker 1>and Lyle Collins is that they're not maybe as talented,

0:42:47.160 --> 0:42:50.400
<v Speaker 1>but they're nasty. I mean they got I mean, Connor

0:42:50.400 --> 0:42:53.920
<v Speaker 1>Williams is gonna lead the lead the offensive line and penalties. Um,

0:42:54.120 --> 0:42:56.799
<v Speaker 1>I think just because he's just that nasty attitude. Yeah,

0:42:56.840 --> 0:42:59.359
<v Speaker 1>I mean, which is which is good. But he's gonna

0:42:59.400 --> 0:43:00.960
<v Speaker 1>have to win. He's have to set the tone. I

0:43:01.000 --> 0:43:03.600
<v Speaker 1>think the rest will help. So it's not an easy thing.

0:43:03.600 --> 0:43:06.200
<v Speaker 1>But I think Tyrone Crawford it will go a long

0:43:06.239 --> 0:43:09.160
<v Speaker 1>way if he can step up. Man. I mean this

0:43:09.239 --> 0:43:11.960
<v Speaker 1>has been pretty balanced right now. All of these guys

0:43:12.000 --> 0:43:15.480
<v Speaker 1>have had good moments and then not so good moments.

0:43:15.880 --> 0:43:19.959
<v Speaker 1>But one that I would say, or that I would

0:43:20.000 --> 0:43:23.520
<v Speaker 1>have said if the situation would have been different, would

0:43:23.520 --> 0:43:30.920
<v Speaker 1>be his name, Just Rico. I don't know how his

0:43:31.080 --> 0:43:33.920
<v Speaker 1>name just disappeared from my mind right now, but Rico

0:43:34.239 --> 0:43:37.759
<v Speaker 1>is the guy that I have criticized, and you know

0:43:37.880 --> 0:43:42.759
<v Speaker 1>that he's not necessarily as fast or as athletic in

0:43:42.800 --> 0:43:46.719
<v Speaker 1>the game as the other tight ends. But right now,

0:43:46.719 --> 0:43:50.120
<v Speaker 1>I mean, he'll make those catches and I'm like, oh, okay,

0:43:50.239 --> 0:43:53.000
<v Speaker 1>I see it. But at the same time, it is

0:43:53.040 --> 0:43:55.960
<v Speaker 1>that good enough to keep him here? How long will

0:43:56.040 --> 0:44:00.360
<v Speaker 1>that project keep happening for does it make the team?

0:44:00.480 --> 0:44:03.399
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. We'll see. I'll throw out another name

0:44:03.440 --> 0:44:06.880
<v Speaker 1>and it's actually for a little different reason. When we

0:44:06.960 --> 0:44:09.200
<v Speaker 1>came in into camp, Nick, I know you were talking

0:44:09.239 --> 0:44:11.439
<v Speaker 1>a little bit about how your expectation is that Jordan

0:44:11.560 --> 0:44:14.720
<v Speaker 1>Lewis would overtake Byron Jones as a starter. We've already

0:44:14.719 --> 0:44:17.120
<v Speaker 1>talked about. I thought that's what I said. I'm sorry

0:44:17.120 --> 0:44:19.520
<v Speaker 1>if I'm mis characterized, I'm sorry, okay. But and I

0:44:19.800 --> 0:44:21.200
<v Speaker 1>the reason why I say that because I kind of

0:44:21.239 --> 0:44:22.920
<v Speaker 1>believe the same thing. I thought by the end of

0:44:22.960 --> 0:44:25.200
<v Speaker 1>this camp he would be your starter, or at least

0:44:25.200 --> 0:44:26.800
<v Speaker 1>by you get a couple weeks into the season, he

0:44:26.800 --> 0:44:28.480
<v Speaker 1>would be your starter. The one thing I will say, though,

0:44:28.560 --> 0:44:31.239
<v Speaker 1>is because Byron has looked so good here at the

0:44:31.239 --> 0:44:33.960
<v Speaker 1>beginning of camp. If Jordan is gonna make that step,

0:44:34.400 --> 0:44:36.640
<v Speaker 1>he's gonna have to make some bigger plays out here

0:44:36.719 --> 0:44:39.439
<v Speaker 1>than what than what Byron's making. And so I think

0:44:39.520 --> 0:44:42.919
<v Speaker 1>you're looking at the wrong cornerback You think Cheeto would

0:44:42.960 --> 0:44:45.600
<v Speaker 1>not be the starter? No, who you in this day

0:44:45.640 --> 0:44:49.040
<v Speaker 1>and age your slot corns. Yeah, if Jordan's gonna crack it,

0:44:49.120 --> 0:44:51.640
<v Speaker 1>I think it's gonna be a b that he beats.

0:44:52.880 --> 0:44:55.560
<v Speaker 1>Let's hold on just a second, one, Let's make sure

0:44:55.600 --> 0:44:59.120
<v Speaker 1>that the whole panel's not just jumping on the thirty one.

0:45:00.040 --> 0:45:03.560
<v Speaker 1>I can here because the same thing was said to

0:45:03.920 --> 0:45:06.640
<v Speaker 1>last year. He had a great camp last year and

0:45:06.640 --> 0:45:09.080
<v Speaker 1>then he got moved from his position because it just

0:45:09.160 --> 0:45:12.960
<v Speaker 1>wasn't good. So he's a good practice player. I mean

0:45:13.000 --> 0:45:15.280
<v Speaker 1>he is, and he's long and and and these wide

0:45:15.280 --> 0:45:17.560
<v Speaker 1>receivers there's some question marks about them, and we knew

0:45:17.600 --> 0:45:20.080
<v Speaker 1>this going in that whoever had the upper hand. It

0:45:20.200 --> 0:45:23.759
<v Speaker 1>doesn't necessarily mean he's ready for Julio Jones right now

0:45:23.840 --> 0:45:26.120
<v Speaker 1>just because of he's doing well against these guys. He

0:45:26.200 --> 0:45:28.359
<v Speaker 1>was beaten by Lance Lenora. That ball is a little

0:45:28.400 --> 0:45:31.640
<v Speaker 1>bit out there differently, and now when we're probably talking

0:45:31.719 --> 0:45:35.839
<v Speaker 1>about completely different guy. All right, so let's just see.

0:45:35.880 --> 0:45:39.440
<v Speaker 1>I think he looks the part, he's long and all that,

0:45:39.480 --> 0:45:41.839
<v Speaker 1>but I think he's gonna have issues, and he had

0:45:41.840 --> 0:45:44.440
<v Speaker 1>a great training camp last year too. Absolutely, I don't

0:45:44.480 --> 0:45:46.560
<v Speaker 1>think he's on the football but next year, that's what

0:45:46.560 --> 0:45:47.920
<v Speaker 1>I'm trying to say. I don't think he's this is

0:45:47.960 --> 0:45:49.520
<v Speaker 1>a contract here. I don't think he's on the team

0:45:49.560 --> 0:45:51.400
<v Speaker 1>next year. But I think the point is what he

0:45:51.440 --> 0:45:53.600
<v Speaker 1>does out here is going to determine who's gonna be

0:45:53.760 --> 0:45:55.680
<v Speaker 1>starting when we get to the season and yes, he'll

0:45:55.719 --> 0:45:57.279
<v Speaker 1>have to play through the season and see how that

0:45:57.320 --> 0:45:59.160
<v Speaker 1>all goes one way or another. I just think Jordan

0:45:59.239 --> 0:46:01.400
<v Speaker 1>Lewis is gonna to the to the front with Cheetah.

0:46:01.440 --> 0:46:03.919
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I completely if I had to bet money

0:46:03.920 --> 0:46:05.520
<v Speaker 1>on it. I don't think Byron Jones is here next

0:46:05.600 --> 0:46:07.600
<v Speaker 1>year either. But we knew that about Brandon Carr, and

0:46:07.600 --> 0:46:09.840
<v Speaker 1>he still held a starting job for sixteen years, no

0:46:09.880 --> 0:46:13.640
<v Speaker 1>doubt you right, he wasn't being coached by Chris Richard.

0:46:13.960 --> 0:46:19.000
<v Speaker 1>That's something that's you're right, Nick, Nick made me think too,

0:46:19.040 --> 0:46:22.080
<v Speaker 1>and and it's Daytone Jones and and Jihad Ward have

0:46:22.160 --> 0:46:26.399
<v Speaker 1>been fine, but that's defensive tackle troubles me any I mean,

0:46:26.480 --> 0:46:29.720
<v Speaker 1>David Irving is m ia and even when MALIEK Collins

0:46:29.760 --> 0:46:31.839
<v Speaker 1>gets out here, you know how that goes easing back

0:46:31.840 --> 0:46:35.839
<v Speaker 1>in after injury. Uh Tyrone Crawford was talking about maybe

0:46:35.880 --> 0:46:37.839
<v Speaker 1>having to play some tackle when the season gets here,

0:46:37.880 --> 0:46:41.320
<v Speaker 1>which like he's about twenty thirty pounds too light. So

0:46:41.920 --> 0:46:44.440
<v Speaker 1>somebody in that position group, it would be great if

0:46:44.440 --> 0:46:46.600
<v Speaker 1>they could step up and assert themselves and make the

0:46:46.640 --> 0:46:49.520
<v Speaker 1>coaches and me feel better about Like to see Elie

0:46:49.600 --> 0:46:51.560
<v Speaker 1>slide in there, that would be nice. You know, I'd

0:46:51.600 --> 0:46:53.640
<v Speaker 1>be down with that. That's one guy that I've been

0:46:53.719 --> 0:46:56.040
<v Speaker 1>watching out here that that kind of hasn't it's kind

0:46:56.080 --> 0:46:57.480
<v Speaker 1>of been a little bit of a mixed bag. But

0:46:57.840 --> 0:46:59.879
<v Speaker 1>he has impressed me with the speed of how fat

0:47:00.120 --> 0:47:02.520
<v Speaker 1>he gets off the ball, Like that's a guy can move.

0:47:02.800 --> 0:47:04.759
<v Speaker 1>He can really move, And so I'm interested to see

0:47:04.800 --> 0:47:06.359
<v Speaker 1>more of him and see how that all plays out

0:47:06.360 --> 0:47:08.480
<v Speaker 1>throughout the training camp. Now, of course he's lining up

0:47:08.480 --> 0:47:10.920
<v Speaker 1>on that side with Tyren, So yeah, if he's if

0:47:10.960 --> 0:47:12.959
<v Speaker 1>he's gonna be playing with the getting first team reps,

0:47:13.000 --> 0:47:15.320
<v Speaker 1>he's gonna have some difficulty trying to get around Tyrn.

0:47:15.440 --> 0:47:17.719
<v Speaker 1>But he looks all and although he does have some speed, Yeah,

0:47:18.320 --> 0:47:19.920
<v Speaker 1>but yeah, he looks like he could play one tech

0:47:20.000 --> 0:47:23.359
<v Speaker 1>mak big Yeah. Yeah. But that's also why I think

0:47:23.400 --> 0:47:25.440
<v Speaker 1>it's so remarkable how quick he is getting off the ball,

0:47:25.480 --> 0:47:28.120
<v Speaker 1>because he's a big dude. Move that quick. He's really

0:47:28.160 --> 0:47:30.080
<v Speaker 1>a big dude. All Right, let's tack the next question.

0:47:30.120 --> 0:47:33.280
<v Speaker 1>The next question is do you think, um that Cameron

0:47:33.360 --> 0:47:36.720
<v Speaker 1>Fleming is solid enough to protect Dallas if Tyron should

0:47:36.760 --> 0:47:39.000
<v Speaker 1>go down? And I know, again we're all all of

0:47:39.080 --> 0:47:41.640
<v Speaker 1>this is based upon two days of padded practices. But

0:47:41.719 --> 0:47:43.080
<v Speaker 1>I just want to kind of talk about it, and

0:47:43.200 --> 0:47:45.680
<v Speaker 1>let's see what you're thinking so far about Cameron Fleming.

0:47:46.360 --> 0:47:49.680
<v Speaker 1>Liked him. I thought he's he's done well. You know,

0:47:49.760 --> 0:47:51.600
<v Speaker 1>I have this weird thing when I see numbers, I

0:47:51.600 --> 0:47:53.959
<v Speaker 1>always just go back like five years for some reason.

0:47:53.960 --> 0:47:56.760
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. I'm just like, oh, darn, Darien Weems

0:47:56.880 --> 0:47:58.360
<v Speaker 1>is out there playing. I mean, I don't even know

0:47:58.600 --> 0:48:01.279
<v Speaker 1>why I do that with him. I pride myself on

0:48:01.400 --> 0:48:04.960
<v Speaker 1>my memory, and I washed Darien Weems out of my mind.

0:48:05.360 --> 0:48:07.880
<v Speaker 1>It's probably well. I mean when I see Italy at

0:48:07.960 --> 0:48:09.800
<v Speaker 1>seventy six, I think it's Ash and then I'm like,

0:48:09.840 --> 0:48:11.920
<v Speaker 1>who's ninety three? Is that Anthony Spencer? I mean, I

0:48:12.200 --> 0:48:15.960
<v Speaker 1>gotta mark Quez White. To me, I just keep thinking

0:48:16.080 --> 0:48:18.719
<v Speaker 1>Brandon bar So, I gotta do better. But I think

0:48:19.040 --> 0:48:21.400
<v Speaker 1>seventy five is Fleming and he does. He does a

0:48:21.480 --> 0:48:23.560
<v Speaker 1>nice job. And this is the reason why he's here

0:48:23.680 --> 0:48:27.560
<v Speaker 1>is because one game last year and one injury. It

0:48:27.760 --> 0:48:30.320
<v Speaker 1>was more than one injury, but but that one particular

0:48:30.400 --> 0:48:33.840
<v Speaker 1>injury really affected the entire game, and I think the

0:48:33.880 --> 0:48:36.279
<v Speaker 1>Cowboys are going to make sure that that doesn't happen again. Yeah,

0:48:36.320 --> 0:48:37.920
<v Speaker 1>there's gonna be a drop off. It has to be

0:48:37.960 --> 0:48:40.920
<v Speaker 1>a drop off. But you know, Philadelphia made at work

0:48:40.920 --> 0:48:42.920
<v Speaker 1>when their left tackle went down. I don't think you're

0:48:42.960 --> 0:48:46.360
<v Speaker 1>gonna confuse Fleming with Tyrone, but he looks pretty solid

0:48:46.400 --> 0:48:49.359
<v Speaker 1>out there. And I love whoever's idea it was, Whether

0:48:49.440 --> 0:48:54.600
<v Speaker 1>it was Jerry Jones, Jason Garrett, Paul Alexander, or Tyron himself,

0:48:54.640 --> 0:48:57.640
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, but I love the idea to rotate reps.

0:48:58.239 --> 0:49:00.200
<v Speaker 1>Uh you know, you know, I don't know what the

0:49:00.239 --> 0:49:02.440
<v Speaker 1>strict rotation is, but it looks like Tyrone will get

0:49:02.480 --> 0:49:04.880
<v Speaker 1>two reps and then they'll put Cam in, get him

0:49:04.920 --> 0:49:08.520
<v Speaker 1>some time with that first team. Oh keep Tyrone. Crawford's

0:49:08.520 --> 0:49:15.080
<v Speaker 1>idea keeps Tying limits the strain on him. Get Cam.

0:49:15.280 --> 0:49:16.759
<v Speaker 1>Not only do you just get him reps, but you

0:49:16.840 --> 0:49:18.840
<v Speaker 1>get him in there with that first team line. I

0:49:19.239 --> 0:49:22.120
<v Speaker 1>think that's a great idea. They learned from their mistakes

0:49:22.360 --> 0:49:27.719
<v Speaker 1>last year, you know, knowing already knowing that Tyrone was

0:49:27.840 --> 0:49:31.960
<v Speaker 1>bound to certain injuries, and they didn't necessarily, you know,

0:49:32.640 --> 0:49:37.560
<v Speaker 1>enforced that backup position or gave someone the opportunity to

0:49:37.680 --> 0:49:40.600
<v Speaker 1>get those reps and in case he did go down.

0:49:40.719 --> 0:49:43.640
<v Speaker 1>So this year they're doing it differently and and it

0:49:44.040 --> 0:49:47.120
<v Speaker 1>feels you you feel more comfortable going into the season.

0:49:47.200 --> 0:49:50.040
<v Speaker 1>We don't know what that's gonna look like, but there's

0:49:50.120 --> 0:49:54.160
<v Speaker 1>more comfort, comfortness, And they're perfectly said, you know you can't.

0:49:54.480 --> 0:49:56.239
<v Speaker 1>I'm sorry, Nick, you can't predict what it's gonna be

0:49:56.360 --> 0:49:58.960
<v Speaker 1>like during Maybe it all falls apart, but they are

0:49:59.200 --> 0:50:01.239
<v Speaker 1>they are trying. You can't blame them for lack of

0:50:01.320 --> 0:50:04.520
<v Speaker 1>effort linebacker and tackle. There's something kind of refreshing about

0:50:04.560 --> 0:50:08.160
<v Speaker 1>the part that everybody sort of knows they should, you know,

0:50:08.239 --> 0:50:11.960
<v Speaker 1>on the coaching staff, and it's if it doesn't go

0:50:12.160 --> 0:50:13.320
<v Speaker 1>the way they want it to go, I mean, this

0:50:13.440 --> 0:50:15.440
<v Speaker 1>is probably going to be it. I mean, I think

0:50:15.560 --> 0:50:18.480
<v Speaker 1>Jason Garrett has to note that now, and that doesn't

0:50:18.520 --> 0:50:21.080
<v Speaker 1>matter what Jerry says up there, but of course he

0:50:21.160 --> 0:50:23.640
<v Speaker 1>has to say that. With Jason right here. This is

0:50:23.680 --> 0:50:26.160
<v Speaker 1>not necessarily a super Bowl or Boss or playoffs or

0:50:26.200 --> 0:50:28.480
<v Speaker 1>Boss or whatever. But I think we feel that way

0:50:28.760 --> 0:50:31.319
<v Speaker 1>and they should, you know, coaches should feel that way.

0:50:31.400 --> 0:50:34.320
<v Speaker 1>So there's when he goes back to the left tackle.

0:50:34.600 --> 0:50:36.360
<v Speaker 1>We don't have to play Chaz Green because of the

0:50:36.600 --> 0:50:38.799
<v Speaker 1>he was drafted in the politics all that you play

0:50:38.880 --> 0:50:41.000
<v Speaker 1>the guy that's going to win. It doesn't really matter

0:50:41.120 --> 0:50:43.640
<v Speaker 1>anymore about you're doing this or that, or we need

0:50:43.719 --> 0:50:46.319
<v Speaker 1>to kind of see him for no, because what you're

0:50:46.320 --> 0:50:48.279
<v Speaker 1>gonna do if you play these young guys, you're gonna

0:50:48.320 --> 0:50:49.920
<v Speaker 1>prepare him for the next guy. You need to win.

0:50:50.360 --> 0:50:53.440
<v Speaker 1>You need to win now everyone knows that. So I

0:50:53.560 --> 0:50:56.239
<v Speaker 1>think there's something refreshing about that we're gonna see the

0:50:56.320 --> 0:50:58.080
<v Speaker 1>guys that are going to help this team win. There's

0:50:58.200 --> 0:50:59.960
<v Speaker 1>for no other reason than to help the team win,

0:51:00.239 --> 0:51:02.400
<v Speaker 1>and it doesn't always happen that way. Let's get to

0:51:02.440 --> 0:51:05.239
<v Speaker 1>the final question. The final question is what are the

0:51:05.280 --> 0:51:08.280
<v Speaker 1>pass rushers outside of DeMarcus Lawrence have piqued your interest?

0:51:08.360 --> 0:51:10.800
<v Speaker 1>And we've talked about the offensive line being so dominant,

0:51:10.840 --> 0:51:13.880
<v Speaker 1>so it's really hard to find a lot of success

0:51:14.440 --> 0:51:17.040
<v Speaker 1>from the standpoint of those pass rushers. But give me

0:51:17.120 --> 0:51:19.080
<v Speaker 1>just one guy maybe that's piqued your interests. Maybe you've

0:51:19.080 --> 0:51:21.200
<v Speaker 1>seen just this one moment from him that said, Hey,

0:51:21.239 --> 0:51:23.239
<v Speaker 1>I think I want to see more of him. Give

0:51:23.280 --> 0:51:27.520
<v Speaker 1>me one guy. I'm riding and dying with my guy. Honestly,

0:51:28.280 --> 0:51:30.480
<v Speaker 1>he's looked fine. He's I mean, he got his butt

0:51:30.560 --> 0:51:33.520
<v Speaker 1>kicked a couple of times yesterday got in a fight

0:51:34.080 --> 0:51:38.040
<v Speaker 1>lost to Lyle Collins. I like the I like the

0:51:38.120 --> 0:51:41.160
<v Speaker 1>way Taco Charlton is going about his business out here,

0:51:41.280 --> 0:51:44.400
<v Speaker 1>Like I mean, he's not just kicking everybody's ass, but

0:51:44.960 --> 0:51:48.920
<v Speaker 1>he's confident. He's bulked up and like I mean, it's

0:51:49.080 --> 0:51:52.240
<v Speaker 1>very noticeable, like he got ready for his second season.

0:51:52.280 --> 0:51:56.480
<v Speaker 1>There's no doubt about that. He's stuck to Demarcus's hip,

0:51:56.600 --> 0:51:59.239
<v Speaker 1>like glue. You know, hey, learned from the best guy

0:51:59.280 --> 0:52:02.120
<v Speaker 1>on the team. Why the hell not um? And and

0:52:02.239 --> 0:52:03.879
<v Speaker 1>he's had some wins. I mean, like I just said,

0:52:03.880 --> 0:52:06.080
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I know he got batted around a little

0:52:06.080 --> 0:52:10.200
<v Speaker 1>bit yesterday, but he he looks competent and comfortable, and

0:52:10.640 --> 0:52:12.960
<v Speaker 1>you know, I just I like what he's about. I

0:52:13.360 --> 0:52:17.799
<v Speaker 1>feel good that he's gonna trend upward. Okay, amber Um.

0:52:17.920 --> 0:52:20.040
<v Speaker 1>He has to be tackle out of the group just

0:52:20.160 --> 0:52:23.840
<v Speaker 1>because of the progress he has made. I spoke about

0:52:23.960 --> 0:52:26.840
<v Speaker 1>Charles Stafford, but am I there yet to go to

0:52:27.040 --> 0:52:30.400
<v Speaker 1>jump in and go with him? Not really, So I

0:52:30.520 --> 0:52:34.279
<v Speaker 1>mean right now, the most progress I've seen would be

0:52:34.360 --> 0:52:37.200
<v Speaker 1>from tackle. And as far as Tyrone, we know how

0:52:37.280 --> 0:52:39.680
<v Speaker 1>he's been and you know he's a good player and

0:52:39.760 --> 0:52:42.760
<v Speaker 1>he does what he needs to do. But uh, progress

0:52:42.920 --> 0:52:47.880
<v Speaker 1>wise tackle you know, I right now, where Dorins Armstrong

0:52:48.120 --> 0:52:50.640
<v Speaker 1>is is that he's gonna go up against the backup

0:52:50.840 --> 0:52:54.680
<v Speaker 1>left tackles, the backup guys, the Bryce Johnson, Jacob Campos,

0:52:54.800 --> 0:52:57.960
<v Speaker 1>all that, and he's doing pretty well against them. Uh,

0:52:58.080 --> 0:53:00.600
<v Speaker 1>he had some some moments, but but he he's got

0:53:00.719 --> 0:53:05.319
<v Speaker 1>that pure athleticism that that's why they drafted him where

0:53:05.320 --> 0:53:09.160
<v Speaker 1>they did. And so he's going to get to the

0:53:09.239 --> 0:53:12.080
<v Speaker 1>point where, Okay, this is good and then good job.

0:53:12.239 --> 0:53:14.600
<v Speaker 1>Now you got to go up against the Flemings and

0:53:14.680 --> 0:53:16.520
<v Speaker 1>then maybe at some point Tyrant. So I want to

0:53:16.600 --> 0:53:19.600
<v Speaker 1>see Armstrong get to the point where now he's going

0:53:19.680 --> 0:53:21.759
<v Speaker 1>to go up against guys that we think are really

0:53:21.880 --> 0:53:24.840
<v Speaker 1>NFL caliber guys. Armstrong gotta I want to say it

0:53:24.920 --> 0:53:27.399
<v Speaker 1>was compete. I think he did two reps against cam

0:53:27.520 --> 0:53:29.560
<v Speaker 1>and they split. But he, I mean, he he has

0:53:29.600 --> 0:53:33.520
<v Speaker 1>looked good too. I hesitate to just dump a whole

0:53:33.520 --> 0:53:35.440
<v Speaker 1>bunch of expectation on a fourth round pick, but he

0:53:35.800 --> 0:53:38.640
<v Speaker 1>doesn't look out of place. He's at least piquing your

0:53:38.680 --> 0:53:41.800
<v Speaker 1>interest some of the opportunities in Yeah, and if you

0:53:41.920 --> 0:53:45.560
<v Speaker 1>want a one hundred percent certainty on something going to happen,

0:53:46.520 --> 0:53:49.000
<v Speaker 1>and fans, it's funny what the fans seem to care

0:53:49.000 --> 0:53:52.520
<v Speaker 1>about and tweet about. Laurance Armstrong will be wearing a

0:53:52.640 --> 0:53:55.719
<v Speaker 1>different number when the season starts. One hundred percent that

0:53:55.920 --> 0:53:58.680
<v Speaker 1>is going to happen, So don't worry about it. I don't.

0:53:58.880 --> 0:54:01.000
<v Speaker 1>I don't know exactly why they did what they did

0:54:01.080 --> 0:54:02.719
<v Speaker 1>to put him at seventy four. He's not going to

0:54:02.760 --> 0:54:05.839
<v Speaker 1>stay there. Bob Lilly's number will continue to not be worn.

0:54:06.040 --> 0:54:09.439
<v Speaker 1>In all honesty, though there aren't There aren't a whole

0:54:09.440 --> 0:54:11.239
<v Speaker 1>lot of options. I think he wears n They will

0:54:11.239 --> 0:54:13.000
<v Speaker 1>have some by the time of season gets here. Oh no,

0:54:13.160 --> 0:54:15.359
<v Speaker 1>I think he out to wear ninety three. I don't

0:54:15.480 --> 0:54:18.680
<v Speaker 1>know if Richard Ashe will make the team. Rod Marinelli

0:54:18.760 --> 0:54:20.759
<v Speaker 1>loves him, a trash can full of dirt type of guy,

0:54:20.840 --> 0:54:23.160
<v Speaker 1>though I don't know. I don't think ash or Price

0:54:23.280 --> 0:54:28.080
<v Speaker 1>will both make the team. Now ninety three, uh, which

0:54:28.120 --> 0:54:31.160
<v Speaker 1>for good years in Cowboys history. I also think there'll

0:54:31.160 --> 0:54:33.440
<v Speaker 1>be one of the numbers that arm Strong. All right,

0:54:33.480 --> 0:54:35.680
<v Speaker 1>real quickly, we'll get a call to end the show

0:54:35.800 --> 0:54:44.160
<v Speaker 1>from Ernest in Houston. Ernest, what up? Ernest? Are there? Yeah? Ernie, Yeah, Yeah,

0:54:44.239 --> 0:54:47.480
<v Speaker 1>My question is, um, I think Nick was hitting on

0:54:47.600 --> 0:54:52.960
<v Speaker 1>it has to do with Connor Williams and um, if

0:54:53.080 --> 0:54:56.000
<v Speaker 1>you're seeing that he's nasty and so forth. My concern

0:54:56.200 --> 0:54:58.480
<v Speaker 1>was as a rookie, he's not going to be as

0:54:58.480 --> 0:55:00.920
<v Speaker 1>strong as as he He will be here in a

0:55:00.960 --> 0:55:04.600
<v Speaker 1>couple of years. But how does he work against those

0:55:05.280 --> 0:55:11.920
<v Speaker 1>interior defensive linemen from Philly and New York, especially twice

0:55:11.960 --> 0:55:14.440
<v Speaker 1>a year and they don't have to meet up with

0:55:14.640 --> 0:55:18.160
<v Speaker 1>Fletcher Cox and Max Harrison and those kind of guys

0:55:18.320 --> 0:55:22.840
<v Speaker 1>and one on one and how do they how do

0:55:22.920 --> 0:55:26.359
<v Speaker 1>they work with him to help him out? All right,

0:55:26.920 --> 0:55:30.279
<v Speaker 1>all right, thanks for the call. You know, well, the

0:55:30.719 --> 0:55:33.680
<v Speaker 1>nastiness is a good thing. He's going to get better

0:55:33.960 --> 0:55:37.520
<v Speaker 1>at technique. He's going to get stronger. Right now, you're

0:55:37.560 --> 0:55:40.600
<v Speaker 1>just fighting, you're just battling, you're scrapping him. He's got

0:55:40.680 --> 0:55:43.000
<v Speaker 1>that in him. Not everyone, not everyone can do that.

0:55:43.080 --> 0:55:44.839
<v Speaker 1>I think that is going to help him. It's going

0:55:44.920 --> 0:55:47.279
<v Speaker 1>to carry him as he gets better. He guess he's

0:55:47.320 --> 0:55:49.719
<v Speaker 1>got two all pros left and right. That's good for

0:55:49.760 --> 0:55:51.759
<v Speaker 1>a lot of people. You know, that will help him

0:55:52.000 --> 0:55:54.120
<v Speaker 1>as well. But but the fact that we talked about

0:55:54.160 --> 0:55:56.319
<v Speaker 1>the other day about the Dennis Rodman being a good

0:55:56.360 --> 0:55:59.080
<v Speaker 1>rebounder because he wanted it more. If you've got that ability,

0:55:59.120 --> 0:56:00.839
<v Speaker 1>I think that's going to kill are you a little bit? Now.

0:56:00.920 --> 0:56:03.080
<v Speaker 1>Doesn't mean you're gonna beat Fletcher Cox just because you

0:56:03.239 --> 0:56:06.279
<v Speaker 1>you're you're mean, but but I mean you, you've got

0:56:06.400 --> 0:56:08.320
<v Speaker 1>to be able to kind of hold your own, and

0:56:08.360 --> 0:56:09.919
<v Speaker 1>I think he'll do that. And the other thing I'll

0:56:09.960 --> 0:56:12.719
<v Speaker 1>point out about that is, yes, he's he's gonna have

0:56:12.800 --> 0:56:15.000
<v Speaker 1>those two pro bowlers on either side of him. The

0:56:15.120 --> 0:56:16.759
<v Speaker 1>great part about it right now is we're getting to

0:56:16.760 --> 0:56:18.399
<v Speaker 1>see him in one on one drills where you don't

0:56:18.440 --> 0:56:21.239
<v Speaker 1>have that guy beside you, and he's definitely holding his own.

0:56:21.280 --> 0:56:23.359
<v Speaker 1>There's no doubt about that. So now you put him

0:56:23.560 --> 0:56:25.560
<v Speaker 1>up against the Fletcher Cox and he has those all

0:56:25.640 --> 0:56:27.440
<v Speaker 1>pros there with him, they'll be able to help him

0:56:27.440 --> 0:56:29.520
<v Speaker 1>out a little bit. Yeah, but I feel good about

0:56:29.520 --> 0:56:31.040
<v Speaker 1>where he is right now. That was not what I

0:56:31.160 --> 0:56:33.040
<v Speaker 1>was expecting to see in the first two days of

0:56:33.120 --> 0:56:35.399
<v Speaker 1>padded practices from the rookie, and I would argue he's

0:56:35.440 --> 0:56:40.120
<v Speaker 1>been surprisingly strong for a rookie, But the d tackles

0:56:40.160 --> 0:56:43.520
<v Speaker 1>on this team are not Fletcher Cox absolutely and he's

0:56:43.560 --> 0:56:46.479
<v Speaker 1>gonna get his butt kicked. He will. Travis Frederick happened

0:56:46.480 --> 0:56:49.799
<v Speaker 1>to Travis. It happens. You got tiring and Travis there

0:56:49.840 --> 0:56:52.440
<v Speaker 1>to help you out. I'm not I'm not over there.

0:56:52.560 --> 0:56:55.600
<v Speaker 1>Week two it was was it his rookie year, Dontari Poe.

0:56:55.680 --> 0:56:59.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm sorry, I can't hear you. What was that? Dotarry Poe?

0:56:59.080 --> 0:57:02.040
<v Speaker 1>I think threw him around on Oh yeah, first year? Absolutely,

0:57:02.040 --> 0:57:05.279
<v Speaker 1>oh badly. So it's gonna happen. But I just say

0:57:05.480 --> 0:57:07.719
<v Speaker 1>I think for right now, for where he is, first

0:57:07.719 --> 0:57:10.440
<v Speaker 1>two days of padded practices, it's been a good showing

0:57:10.520 --> 0:57:12.120
<v Speaker 1>for him. It's been a really good showing. We appreciate

0:57:12.120 --> 0:57:14.279
