We're gonna get 0:00:59.040 --> 0:01:01.440 to the fifty three man roster, see if there were 0:01:01.480 --> 0:01:04.520 any notable cuts that these guys need to point out. 0:01:04.959 --> 0:01:07.119 We might even talk a little bit about one Cam Newton, 0:01:07.160 --> 0:01:09.480 who is sitting out there as a free agent right now. 0:01:09.480 --> 0:01:11.520 We'll get to that a little later in the show. 0:01:11.520 --> 0:01:14.000 And of course we're going to start getting you guys 0:01:14.000 --> 0:01:17.119 ready for Cowboys Versus Buccaneers. That happens next Thursday night. 0:01:17.400 --> 0:01:20.480 It opens the NFL season, and that is why our 0:01:20.520 --> 0:01:22.920 special guest is here once again this season. We're very, 0:01:23.040 --> 0:01:26.160 very proud and excited to have Bucky Brooks of NFL 0:01:26.200 --> 0:01:29.960 Network joining us twice a week every week to walk 0:01:30.040 --> 0:01:33.399 us through his thoughts on the opposing matchup and give 0:01:33.480 --> 0:01:38.840 us his scouting expertise. What's going on, Bucky, Hey was 0:01:38.840 --> 0:01:41.160 going on, Gus, how you doing, We're doing, We're doing well, 0:01:41.480 --> 0:01:44.760 and we're gonna start this thing. Obviously the Cowboys have. 0:01:45.840 --> 0:01:48.840 They opened the season against the defending Super Bowl champs. 0:01:49.160 --> 0:01:51.520 And what most people I wouldn't say, I'm not gonna 0:01:51.520 --> 0:01:54.680 say most what a large number of people believe maybe 0:01:54.800 --> 0:01:57.320 one of the greatest quarterbacks or the greatest quarterback in 0:01:57.320 --> 0:01:59.880 the history of the NFL and Tom Brady. Check this out. 0:02:00.000 --> 0:02:02.480 I was looking at some of his numbers. Tom Brady 0:02:02.560 --> 0:02:05.560 last year was third in passing yards. He was second 0:02:05.600 --> 0:02:09.120 in attempts. He was tied for second in touchdowns. He 0:02:09.200 --> 0:02:12.119 was third in twenty plus yard passes, He was four 0:02:12.320 --> 0:02:17.080 in forty plus yard passes. Is there anything that was 0:02:17.240 --> 0:02:20.400 that you saw in his game that would suggest he 0:02:20.480 --> 0:02:24.359 was declining even a bit that maybe in some alternate 0:02:24.440 --> 0:02:29.320 universe the Cowboys could exploit. Well, No, I mean, I 0:02:29.360 --> 0:02:33.079 think anytime you're forty four, forty five years old, you're 0:02:33.200 --> 0:02:37.400 having to deal with different issues because you're older, you 0:02:37.520 --> 0:02:40.880 need more rest and recovery, covery to be able to play. 0:02:41.320 --> 0:02:43.880 But he's playing at a high level, and we just 0:02:43.919 --> 0:02:46.760 don't see players at this age play at a high level. 0:02:47.000 --> 0:02:49.160 When I think about the Buccaneers offense and how they 0:02:49.240 --> 0:02:52.880 liked to push the ball down the field under Bruce Arians. Look, 0:02:52.919 --> 0:02:55.280 it's it's a tough matchup because it's not just him, 0:02:55.600 --> 0:03:00.160 it's the pieces around him, Mike Evans, Chris Godwin and on. 0:03:00.240 --> 0:03:04.160 You you then have Rob Grenkowsky and Oj Howard in 0:03:04.200 --> 0:03:07.120 the middle. They've done a really good job of surrounding 0:03:07.200 --> 0:03:09.200 him with the right kind of playmakers to allow him 0:03:09.200 --> 0:03:15.400 to play at a high level at his advanced age. Yeah, 0:03:15.440 --> 0:03:19.080 Tom Brady's awesome. What have you, hey, Bucky? What have 0:03:19.120 --> 0:03:22.280 you seen from the Cowboys defense? Though, like from their 0:03:22.320 --> 0:03:26.679 defensive tackle, defensive end rotation, from what Dan Quinn is 0:03:26.720 --> 0:03:32.240 trying to do, that's gonna maybe get after him at all. Well, 0:03:32.240 --> 0:03:33.720 you know, the one thing is we really get a 0:03:33.760 --> 0:03:35.680 chance to see what Dan Quinn wants to do because 0:03:35.680 --> 0:03:38.040 he was on the sideline due to COVID stuff. But 0:03:38.440 --> 0:03:40.320 based on what I got a chance to see in 0:03:40.400 --> 0:03:43.280 training camp, they'll have some unique packages where they can 0:03:43.560 --> 0:03:46.680 kind of throw some different things at Tom Brady to 0:03:46.680 --> 0:03:48.480 try and get him off his game. I think it 0:03:48.480 --> 0:03:50.960 will be interesting to see what does it look like 0:03:51.000 --> 0:03:53.320 when we finally get a chance to see Michael Parsons, 0:03:53.720 --> 0:03:56.800 Jaylen Smith, Layden Van Dersh on the field at the 0:03:56.840 --> 0:04:01.400 same time. How many of these subpackage sets and formations 0:04:01.400 --> 0:04:03.840 where they use where they have guys standing up and 0:04:03.880 --> 0:04:06.520 moving around and trying to disrupt the rhythm of the game. 0:04:06.680 --> 0:04:08.280 I'm gonna be honest with you. I'm gonna say this, 0:04:09.360 --> 0:04:12.640 Michael Parsons might end up being the lynchpin of the 0:04:12.720 --> 0:04:16.960 Dallas Cowboys defense based on his versatility. How does day 0:04:17.040 --> 0:04:20.919 Quinn utilize his vast talents in his unique skill set 0:04:21.200 --> 0:04:23.840 to throw off with Tom Brady and the Buccaneers want 0:04:23.839 --> 0:04:28.839 to do? Okay, Buck, I mean, tom Brady's great, He's awesome. 0:04:29.320 --> 0:04:32.160 He doesn't seem to be showing any sign of decline. 0:04:32.279 --> 0:04:34.960 But I can't help but think about how heavily the 0:04:35.000 --> 0:04:37.480 Buccaneers leaned on their running game during their run through 0:04:37.520 --> 0:04:42.600 the playoffs last year and playoff Lenny was that was 0:04:42.640 --> 0:04:46.040 that an aberration because I don't remember their rushing attack 0:04:46.200 --> 0:04:49.720 being really all that impressive through most of the season. 0:04:49.920 --> 0:04:52.400 Did they just get clicking at the right time. I 0:04:52.520 --> 0:04:56.760 know their offensive line is fantastic. Just what's your opinion 0:04:56.800 --> 0:05:01.040 of that and where they go from here? Well, I mean, 0:05:01.080 --> 0:05:03.080 I think if you follow Tom Brady and you look 0:05:03.120 --> 0:05:05.600 at how they play how he has always played in 0:05:05.600 --> 0:05:08.360 New England, they basically morphed into the New England Patriots 0:05:08.440 --> 0:05:10.320 at the end of the year. When you watch the 0:05:10.360 --> 0:05:13.159 Patriots played throughout the year, you see them start out 0:05:13.480 --> 0:05:15.359 Tom Brady will sling it all over the yard, but 0:05:15.400 --> 0:05:19.280 then come November December they kind of undergo a metamorphosis 0:05:19.279 --> 0:05:22.560 and become a power football team. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers 0:05:22.560 --> 0:05:27.520 basically followed that blueprint and down the stretch, more traditional 0:05:27.880 --> 0:05:31.440 old school heavy sets, running the football a lot of time, 0:05:31.480 --> 0:05:34.000 Brady to throw off play action, which is why he 0:05:34.040 --> 0:05:36.080 was able to take those shots, and then if they 0:05:36.160 --> 0:05:39.000 needed to, they could spread it out. I believe Tampa 0:05:39.040 --> 0:05:41.719 will kind of pick up where they left off. They'll 0:05:41.760 --> 0:05:43.800 try and run it, They'll try and grind it because 0:05:43.800 --> 0:05:46.359 it sets up play action shots for Tom Brady. But 0:05:46.440 --> 0:05:49.120 then at the end, if you're stopping that, they'll open 0:05:49.200 --> 0:05:51.159 it up and they'll let Tom Brady do what he 0:05:51.200 --> 0:05:54.440 always does. I'm gonna ride off that question a little bit, Bucky, 0:05:54.560 --> 0:05:58.039 And I know obviously you know of Geo Bernard he 0:05:58.080 --> 0:06:00.560 was a pickup for them as a free agent. How 0:06:00.600 --> 0:06:03.760 much do you anticipate that he will factor in what 0:06:03.839 --> 0:06:06.240 they want to do from a passing standpoint? Because he's 0:06:06.240 --> 0:06:09.159 a guy that has averaged forty three receptions per season 0:06:09.200 --> 0:06:11.719 with Cincinnati over the eight years that he's been in 0:06:11.760 --> 0:06:14.640 the league. Had forty seven receptions last year, So a 0:06:14.680 --> 0:06:17.800 pretty productive guy coming out of the backfield. That's more 0:06:17.800 --> 0:06:19.560 than the type of production that they were getting out 0:06:19.560 --> 0:06:20.960 of the two backs they had last year. How do 0:06:20.960 --> 0:06:23.080 you think he factors in and adds that extra dimension 0:06:23.080 --> 0:06:27.520 to that Tampa Bay offense it's running because the Tampa 0:06:27.520 --> 0:06:30.520 Bay offense is really the old New England Patriots offense 0:06:30.880 --> 0:06:34.520 except Bruce Arians has signed off on it. So Geo 0:06:34.600 --> 0:06:39.680 Bernara will play the James White, Shane Vereene Rex Burkhead 0:06:40.200 --> 0:06:44.120 role in this offense. Many you will see him screens, 0:06:44.720 --> 0:06:47.720 slip out option routes. They'll go empty and put him 0:06:47.760 --> 0:06:49.480 on the backside and let him work one on one 0:06:49.520 --> 0:06:52.520 against linebackers, and then occasionally he may touch it on 0:06:52.560 --> 0:06:56.400 a draw or delay or mister direction run. But he 0:06:56.440 --> 0:07:00.000 gives them that true pass catching back out of the backfield, 0:07:00.640 --> 0:07:04.360 something they didn't have a year ago. When you were 0:07:04.360 --> 0:07:07.760 at training camp, did you see Trayvon Diggs making plays 0:07:07.839 --> 0:07:09.440 or do you see him getting beat up by a 0:07:09.520 --> 0:07:13.720 Ceedee Lamb because he covered him a lot? And if so, 0:07:13.920 --> 0:07:15.760 do you feel like he's the guy that has to 0:07:15.760 --> 0:07:18.400 match up with Evans or you just keep him on 0:07:18.440 --> 0:07:22.840 his side because there's gonna be a good player over there. Yeah. No, 0:07:22.920 --> 0:07:25.280 I don't think you can match up and travel against 0:07:25.280 --> 0:07:28.000 the tam Bay Buccaneers because if you travel him, there's 0:07:28.040 --> 0:07:31.040 still two other guys that can make plays. And Chris 0:07:31.080 --> 0:07:34.120 Godwin is terrific on the backside. He's been a Pro 0:07:34.200 --> 0:07:36.480 Bowl player. But i'mnna be honest with the guy who 0:07:36.480 --> 0:07:39.800 has the toughest matchup is the nickelback whoever has to 0:07:39.880 --> 0:07:42.840 check Antonio Brown is in for a long day. Because 0:07:42.840 --> 0:07:45.920 the Antonio Brown that I'm hearing When I talk to 0:07:45.960 --> 0:07:48.080 people down there, they're talking about, Oh, this is the 0:07:48.160 --> 0:07:51.000 old AB, the AB that used to get loose and 0:07:51.120 --> 0:07:54.000 used to dominate the league. The quickness is back. He 0:07:54.080 --> 0:07:56.680 had an offseason surgery to kind a clean up some 0:07:56.720 --> 0:07:58.840 issues he was having with his lord byty his legs. 0:07:59.560 --> 0:08:02.640 If that AB shows up, good night. Trying to figure 0:08:02.640 --> 0:08:04.160 out how you're gonna cover to Tampa Bay Buck and 0:08:04.320 --> 0:08:07.440 using space because each of their wire receivers can win 0:08:07.520 --> 0:08:10.600 their individual matchup. Cowboys got their own AB. They'll throw 0:08:10.640 --> 0:08:20.800 on him. Yeah. I just asked you about the offensive line, Buck, 0:08:20.920 --> 0:08:25.400 But you know, if I'm looking for a weak point, 0:08:25.800 --> 0:08:28.320 it's certainly not the quarterback. We already talked about the 0:08:28.400 --> 0:08:32.800 running backs. It's certainly none of their pass catching options. 0:08:34.040 --> 0:08:36.880 Donovan Smith and Tristan Worth's are obviously great. But do 0:08:37.040 --> 0:08:40.560 they have a weak point on their offensive line? And 0:08:40.760 --> 0:08:42.920 is there a guy on the Cowboys front that you 0:08:42.960 --> 0:08:45.040 think can exploit it? Because I don't think I love 0:08:45.120 --> 0:08:50.199 the matchups at offensive tackle. No. I mean I think 0:08:50.240 --> 0:08:53.880 the same blueplant and recipe to deal with Tom Brady exists. 0:08:54.280 --> 0:08:57.920 You have to pressure Tom Brady up the middle. It 0:08:58.000 --> 0:09:00.840 has to come up the gut because Tom Brady is 0:09:00.840 --> 0:09:03.800 a mobile and so when you bring pressure up the gut, 0:09:04.080 --> 0:09:06.559 what it does is it forces him to get off 0:09:06.600 --> 0:09:09.319 his spot. It makes him uncomfortable, and he tends to 0:09:09.360 --> 0:09:11.560 get rid of the ball sooner than he wants to 0:09:11.640 --> 0:09:14.360 because he doesn't want to get hit. So it's not 0:09:14.480 --> 0:09:18.920 necessarily an individual matchup. It's more dan Quinn bringing pressure 0:09:19.240 --> 0:09:22.240 through the a gaps, finding a way to create overloads, 0:09:22.240 --> 0:09:24.960 and one on one matchups where you can attack Ali 0:09:25.080 --> 0:09:28.439 Marpett and Alex Kappa and see if those guys are 0:09:28.520 --> 0:09:31.000 up to the task. You have to bring the pressure 0:09:31.080 --> 0:09:33.200 up the middle where Tom Brady can see it and 0:09:33.320 --> 0:09:36.040 also feel it to disrupt his rhythm as a passer. 0:09:36.240 --> 0:09:38.760 All right, one more question for you here, Bucky. You 0:09:38.800 --> 0:09:40.480 are out there training camp. You got a chance to 0:09:40.520 --> 0:09:43.440 watch the Cowboys based upon all you've seen that they've 0:09:43.440 --> 0:09:46.840 done in the off season and the development of the 0:09:46.840 --> 0:09:49.040 players that were here last year that are still here. 0:09:49.600 --> 0:09:52.600 Outside of Parsons because you already mentioned him, what area, 0:09:52.800 --> 0:09:57.040 player specific thing that they're doing gives you any reason 0:09:57.120 --> 0:09:59.360 to believe that this defense will be better than they 0:09:59.360 --> 0:10:05.559 were last year. Number one thing is they're connected. Dan 0:10:05.640 --> 0:10:08.120 Quinn is holding those guys to a standard, and you 0:10:08.120 --> 0:10:10.720 can tell when you watch them practice. There's certain things 0:10:10.720 --> 0:10:13.400 are being communicated in meetings and they continue to be 0:10:13.400 --> 0:10:16.920 communicated on the practice field. I see more effort, I 0:10:17.040 --> 0:10:20.280 see better execution because the defense appears to be simpler, 0:10:20.480 --> 0:10:24.040 and I see guys playing fast. Also, because it's really 0:10:24.040 --> 0:10:27.199 a mix of zone and man. I saw a ton 0:10:27.240 --> 0:10:30.200 of Cowboys getting their hands on the ball for a 0:10:30.320 --> 0:10:33.360 very young secondary. It's really important that you're very clear 0:10:33.440 --> 0:10:36.719 in your communication. I think dan Quinn has clearly communicated 0:10:36.960 --> 0:10:40.160 the expectations. He's pared down the scheme to allow those 0:10:40.160 --> 0:10:42.920 guys to play fast, and with the assistance of Joe 0:10:42.920 --> 0:10:47.079 Wick Jr. I think everyone is a little more detailed 0:10:47.280 --> 0:10:50.040 and that should produce better results. All right, buck Well, 0:10:50.040 --> 0:10:52.360 appreciate you. Man. We'll be back with you on Friday 0:10:52.360 --> 0:10:53.959 so that we can talk a little bit about the 0:10:54.000 --> 0:10:57.160 Cowboys offense versus the Bucks defense and get your predictions 0:10:57.160 --> 0:10:59.560 of what you think is going to happen opening night 0:11:00.160 --> 0:11:02.679 night next Thursday night against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. We're 0:11:02.679 --> 0:11:04.480 gonna take an early break. When we come back, we're 0:11:04.480 --> 0:11:06.360 gonna get into the fifty three man roster and talk 0:11:06.360 --> 0:11:08.480 to you guys about what we saw, what we think 0:11:08.520 --> 0:11:10.440 about the cuts that were made, and what we think 0:11:10.520 --> 0:11:12.880 might happen today as a result of some of those moves. 0:11:12.920 --> 0:11:15.120 We'll be right back. This is Dallas Cowboys dot Com Radio. 0:11:16.080 --> 0:11:18.080 Before there was a draft. You get sized up at 0:11:18.080 --> 0:11:21.320 cowboy by three simple factors.

Second segment of The Break live from the 0:13:40.600 --> 0:13:44.560 SWBC Mortgage Studios at the Star. We just finished our 0:13:44.600 --> 0:13:46.719 segment segment with Bucky Brooks. We're gonna get back to 0:13:46.720 --> 0:13:49.640 a little more Cowboys Buccaneers talk a little later in 0:13:49.679 --> 0:13:51.880 the show, but now I want to talk about the cuts. 0:13:52.200 --> 0:13:55.040 Yesterday was cut day in the NFL. Not a popular day. 0:13:55.040 --> 0:13:57.400 It's a tough day for a lot of players. It 0:13:57.720 --> 0:13:59.880 for a lot of players is it signifies the end 0:13:59.880 --> 0:14:02.920 of their career and so it's not a positive day, 0:14:02.920 --> 0:14:04.719 but something that teams have to do obviously to get 0:14:04.760 --> 0:14:07.360 down to that fifty three man roster. My first question 0:14:07.400 --> 0:14:10.080 for you guys were. Was there anything that was notable 0:14:10.440 --> 0:14:13.000 or even surprising as you saw the names that were 0:14:13.040 --> 0:14:17.520 on the list of cuts surprising? No, notable, Yes, just 0:14:17.600 --> 0:14:25.040 in the sense that it's the most disjointed and unfinalized 0:14:25.120 --> 0:14:27.640 roster I've ever seen them put together, Just in the 0:14:27.680 --> 0:14:30.960 sense of everything that is still to happen, which is probably, yeah, 0:14:31.120 --> 0:14:34.760 a solid fifteen percent of the roster. There's six injury 0:14:34.760 --> 0:14:36.680 guys that they've got to find something to do with, 0:14:37.200 --> 0:14:39.880 five COVID guys that have to come off at some point, 0:14:41.280 --> 0:14:43.040 and a handful of other things they got to do. So, 0:14:43.080 --> 0:14:45.840 I mean, it's really just the jumping off point. Yeah, 0:14:45.920 --> 0:14:48.440 it's the league has changed to the point where it's 0:14:48.480 --> 0:14:50.760 just a two day thing now. I mean it's really 0:14:50.800 --> 0:14:52.640 more than that. It's three or four days because of 0:14:52.680 --> 0:14:56.320 what's happened with the COVID list. I mean, I think 0:14:56.320 --> 0:14:58.600 the Cowboys, I'm not saying they're using the list, I'm 0:14:58.640 --> 0:15:00.880 just saying, but because of the way it's stands right now, 0:15:01.160 --> 0:15:04.880 they'll probably go up until Wednesday or Thursday before we 0:15:04.920 --> 0:15:07.960 really get an idea what this roster is gonna look like. 0:15:08.120 --> 0:15:11.600 That there are guys not on the roster that that 0:15:11.760 --> 0:15:13.600 are going to go in your first two rounds of 0:15:13.600 --> 0:15:16.600 your NFL fantasy draft. I mean that that's how good 0:15:16.640 --> 0:15:18.600 that they are. They're not even on the roster right now. 0:15:18.880 --> 0:15:21.320 And then then there's guys that are on the roster 0:15:21.480 --> 0:15:23.720 that will probably be on the practice squad. So it's 0:15:23.720 --> 0:15:26.840 just it's just kind of a tricky thing to figure 0:15:26.840 --> 0:15:30.080 it out. But like surprise, like yeah, I mean you'd 0:15:30.080 --> 0:15:32.160 like to. I mean you'll see a deep snapper on 0:15:32.200 --> 0:15:34.240 the tammy that they're gonna snap the ball, you know, 0:15:34.280 --> 0:15:40.200 this year and you know, Matt Farneyack Kamara can't imagine 0:15:40.240 --> 0:15:43.600 them being on the fifty three they are as of 0:15:43.680 --> 0:15:45.280 right now, and maybe they are. I don't. I don't know, 0:15:45.480 --> 0:15:48.720 they might be, but it's yeah, there's there's there's a 0:15:48.720 --> 0:15:50.560 lot of stuff that's gonna so I mean, just to 0:15:50.840 --> 0:15:54.560 break it down a little more clearly, um Sean mcun's 0:15:54.560 --> 0:15:57.240 gonna go to injured reserve. Josh Ball is gonna go 0:15:57.240 --> 0:16:00.240 to injured reserve. Francis Bernard is gonna go to injured serve. 0:16:00.360 --> 0:16:03.760 Neville Gallimore. I think they're six in total, Elite Turner 0:16:04.360 --> 0:16:08.200 and Calvin Joseph probably as well. So that's six guys 0:16:08.200 --> 0:16:10.360 that are going to come off, and there's about five 0:16:10.440 --> 0:16:12.880 COVID guys, so that makes sense. But then they're going 0:16:12.920 --> 0:16:16.080 to come on that four will come on probably this weekend. 0:16:16.200 --> 0:16:19.720 Noah Brown just went on that was that they just 0:16:19.800 --> 0:16:22.080 kind of snuck that in there on roster day, So 0:16:22.560 --> 0:16:25.720 no will probably be gone longer than everybody else. Everybody 0:16:25.720 --> 0:16:27.000 else should be back by the end of the week. 0:16:27.000 --> 0:16:29.160 Here's the surprise that I saw in the list, because 0:16:29.160 --> 0:16:31.520 there's there's used to just be here are the cuts 0:16:31.680 --> 0:16:34.080 and that's yeah. Now there's twenty six lists, not a 0:16:34.120 --> 0:16:36.000 different list that you go on it. The one that 0:16:36.000 --> 0:16:40.800 that kind of surprised me was just, uh, johncy Golston 0:16:40.880 --> 0:16:42.880 passed his you know, physical and he's on the team, 0:16:43.240 --> 0:16:46.800 just like that. He's here. He's back, yeah, which I 0:16:46.920 --> 0:16:49.800 leaped into this. I thought maybe they could put him off, 0:16:50.160 --> 0:16:52.040 take him off PUP and put him right on IR. 0:16:52.160 --> 0:16:55.800 Apparently they can't do that. Yeah, so he's just he's there. 0:16:56.000 --> 0:16:58.360 They thought, you know, they can bring um. They thought 0:16:58.360 --> 0:17:00.520 he'd be ready faster than the six weeks he would 0:17:00.520 --> 0:17:02.920 be gone if they put him on PUP. But I'm 0:17:02.960 --> 0:17:04.800 just gonna go ahead and guess we can write him 0:17:04.800 --> 0:17:09.639 onto the game day and guaranteed for like a month. 0:17:10.160 --> 0:17:13.360 But he's on the team. But I'm curious. I think 0:17:13.400 --> 0:17:16.119 there's seven d ns on the roster right now, and 0:17:16.200 --> 0:17:18.119 so I'm I got my eye on Bradley and I 0:17:18.240 --> 0:17:21.640 I got my eye on a Zoo Kamara. Which it's 0:17:21.680 --> 0:17:23.760 a really cool story for him that he made the 0:17:23.760 --> 0:17:26.000 initial fifty three, but I won't be surprised if that's 0:17:26.040 --> 0:17:28.280 not the case by the end of the week. Like 0:17:28.400 --> 0:17:30.760 just a lot of moving parts. Yeah, I was telling Nick, 0:17:30.800 --> 0:17:32.560 you were mentioned that you were a little surprised about 0:17:32.600 --> 0:17:35.000 Kamara as well, But my thought was, you know, he 0:17:35.040 --> 0:17:38.560 has his body is to me, seems a little different 0:17:38.600 --> 0:17:41.560 than a typical defensive end, looks a little leaner. You 0:17:41.560 --> 0:17:44.800 could maybe see him running down on special teams. Maybe 0:17:44.800 --> 0:17:47.119 that's a role for him there and and maybe they 0:17:47.200 --> 0:17:48.919 needed that with some of the guys that maybe they 0:17:48.920 --> 0:17:51.119 won't have that they thought they were gonna have running down. 0:17:51.200 --> 0:17:53.400 So who knows how they're gonna use him and how 0:17:53.400 --> 0:17:55.920 they evaluate his special teams play and how that may 0:17:55.640 --> 0:17:57.680 have may have contributed to him being on the roster 0:17:57.800 --> 0:18:01.440 right now as opposed to being off the roster right Yeah. Um, 0:18:01.560 --> 0:18:03.919 that being said, Um what what guys I guess that 0:18:03.960 --> 0:18:06.119 are not on the roster right now, are you expecting 0:18:06.480 --> 0:18:10.359 will be back come tomorrow or whatever? Whenever they make 0:18:10.400 --> 0:18:13.840 those final moves for practice, like the release, get like 0:18:13.920 --> 0:18:16.480 a Darians like and Darian Thompson. Those kind of guys 0:18:16.480 --> 0:18:22.840 could see Thompson, I could see Hamilton maybe justin Hamilton, well, Jake, 0:18:23.560 --> 0:18:27.840 first one problem they need along a long snapp Yeah right, yeah, yeah, 0:18:28.200 --> 0:18:30.160 I just wonder how that is for a veteran guy. 0:18:30.200 --> 0:18:33.879 I mean, to just be released, you know, like it 0:18:33.920 --> 0:18:36.280 probably doesn't sit well. Nobody wants that, even if they're 0:18:36.280 --> 0:18:38.679 coming back, even if it's a technicality, just depends on 0:18:38.720 --> 0:18:41.360 how it's approached, like if if if there's a sit 0:18:41.440 --> 0:18:44.399 down and it's like, okay, man, we're gonna cut you, 0:18:44.520 --> 0:18:47.320 but this is just procedural back at the end of 0:18:47.320 --> 0:18:50.240 the week. Yeah this, you know, I think it's probably 0:18:50.280 --> 0:18:54.600 like all right, I'm fine, right, I'm fine here, I'm good. 0:18:55.000 --> 0:18:57.480 But but yeah, if you're if you're the sensitive type, 0:18:57.520 --> 0:18:59.280 it might yeah, it might not feel good. I think 0:18:59.359 --> 0:19:02.760 for a long snapper, maybe it feels better than if 0:19:02.800 --> 0:19:05.439 you're like Dari and Thompson. You know, it's like, well 0:19:05.840 --> 0:19:08.040 they would they didn't cut Jeron Curse. They could have 0:19:08.119 --> 0:19:11.440 done that just as easily, but they think maybe they 0:19:11.440 --> 0:19:13.520 think the least of me, where with a long snapper 0:19:13.560 --> 0:19:16.119 it's like, you know, we need you, we know we 0:19:16.200 --> 0:19:18.400 need you, like there's not other yea, or the flip 0:19:18.400 --> 0:19:20.240 side of that, you could just be happy that they're 0:19:20.240 --> 0:19:21.720 going to bring me back, so I'm going to have 0:19:21.760 --> 0:19:24.719 a job like that. That part of it probably is like, Okay, 0:19:24.760 --> 0:19:26.879 I'm good now. You're probably sitting on pins and needles 0:19:26.880 --> 0:19:29.199 a little bit until they actually do it, because you're like, 0:19:29.240 --> 0:19:31.600 you just never know in the NFL what will happen. 0:19:31.720 --> 0:19:34.600 But but yeah, I think you're probably a little probably 0:19:34.600 --> 0:19:36.200 a little bit grateful that you're at least going to 0:19:36.240 --> 0:19:38.960 have an opportunity to come back. That all being said, 0:19:39.040 --> 0:19:42.040 let's talk about one player in particular that was cut, 0:19:42.400 --> 0:19:44.440 That is, that was not cut from the Cowboys roster. 0:19:44.600 --> 0:19:47.680 But my question for you guys is shit that Cowboys 0:19:47.720 --> 0:19:50.399 maybe consider taking a look at him? One Cam Newton 0:19:50.440 --> 0:19:54.960 cut from New England. We have talked probably more than 0:19:55.000 --> 0:19:57.360 any other not more than any other position, but it's 0:19:57.359 --> 0:19:59.960 been one of the major positions we've talked about particularly 0:20:00.119 --> 0:20:03.440 to the backup quarterback. Um, do you think the cowboy 0:20:03.480 --> 0:20:07.400 should go out and take a look at Cam Newton? Yes, absolutely, 0:20:07.800 --> 0:20:10.280 take a look for sure, should definitely take a look 0:20:10.440 --> 0:20:15.080 at his Should they sign him? They quiet? Then depends 0:20:15.080 --> 0:20:17.919 on the look because to me, to me, it depends 0:20:17.960 --> 0:20:20.040 And I we answered, both of us answered this mail 0:20:20.080 --> 0:20:22.920 back question, and I think you got completely different answers. 0:20:22.920 --> 0:20:25.000 So you're you're gonna that doesn't shock me, Well, no, 0:20:25.040 --> 0:20:27.720 but but you're gonna get different aspects of it. For me, 0:20:27.880 --> 0:20:30.719 I'm looking at, like what the question that I'm asking 0:20:30.880 --> 0:20:32.640 is is are you ready to be a backup? Because 0:20:32.640 --> 0:20:35.560 it looks like he tweeted some things about QB one 0:20:35.720 --> 0:20:38.159 and all this stuff which didn't really you know, I 0:20:38.160 --> 0:20:40.919 guess Belichick didn't like that on his Twitter or whatever, 0:20:41.040 --> 0:20:45.000 because you know, it doesn't doesn't matter what they think. 0:20:45.119 --> 0:20:47.320 He's not a QB one. There is he going to 0:20:47.359 --> 0:20:49.639
