I guess we could 50 00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:34,799 Speaker 6: talk about. The practice squad was filled out since the 51 00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:37,400 Speaker 6: last time we talked lost Isaiah Land to the Colts 52 00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:39,239 Speaker 6: a little bit of old news, but I guess we 53 00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:41,600 Speaker 6: could touch on it. Yeah, I want to talk about 54 00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:44,600 Speaker 6: Isaiah Land because a lot of fans are really upset 55 00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:47,040 Speaker 6: by the fact that he you know that that the 56 00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:50,799 Speaker 6: front office let him go. But think about it, He's 57 00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:54,360 Speaker 6: in the deepest position group and the entire team by far, 58 00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:58,280 Speaker 6: by a long shot, they would need that spot somewhere else, 59 00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:01,320 Speaker 6: and we're talking about a guy who would have been 60 00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:02,520 Speaker 6: number fifty three on the roster. 61 00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:03,000 Speaker 8: You know. 62 00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:05,720 Speaker 7: I think there's some unreasonable. 63 00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:09,880 Speaker 6: Disappointment, and there I disappointment is valuid, But to go 64 00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:11,679 Speaker 6: to the extreme that I think some fans have gone, 65 00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:13,799 Speaker 6: I don't think it's that huge of a deal. I 66 00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:17,320 Speaker 6: really like how they filled out the practice squad. I 67 00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:20,120 Speaker 6: think it's pretty interesting that jabbro Cox went to Washington, 68 00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:23,079 Speaker 6: lost it as Houston to New York. Though those were 69 00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:25,000 Speaker 6: there was a lot of NFC East on NFC East 70 00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:28,360 Speaker 6: Crime got Sean Houston from the Giants back up interior alignment, 71 00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:31,800 Speaker 6: So yeah, a lot of insight trading there, I guess. 72 00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:33,960 Speaker 6: But other than that, I like the way they filled 73 00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:34,720 Speaker 6: out the practice squad. 74 00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:37,040 Speaker 9: So who's the obvious guy that shouldn't be on this 75 00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:39,800 Speaker 9: team so that they can have Isaiah Land mm. 76 00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:41,280 Speaker 1: On the fifty three. 77 00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:45,320 Speaker 10: Yeah, I can't say that. 78 00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:50,760 Speaker 1: You don't want to say it, uh I answer? 79 00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:52,400 Speaker 7: I think the answer would be Hunter Lukey. 80 00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:53,320 Speaker 1: Oh okay. 81 00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:55,720 Speaker 7: Yeah, that's that's why I couldn't say that. I'm the 82 00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:56,840 Speaker 7: president of the fan club. 83 00:03:57,080 --> 00:04:00,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, it comes down to a numbers game though at that. 84 00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:02,240 Speaker 9: Point, right we'll get the rest of right now. I 85 00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:03,400 Speaker 9: don't see a lot obvious answers. 86 00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:06,480 Speaker 2: No, I think it's just the numbers game of being 87 00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:08,680 Speaker 2: a crowded room. I mean, Isaiah Land did what he 88 00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:11,040 Speaker 2: could in the preseason the shine. He played well, but 89 00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:13,080 Speaker 2: a lot of times whenever he played really well, it 90 00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:15,800 Speaker 2: was in the third, late third quarter, early fourth quarter, 91 00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:18,279 Speaker 2: whenever he was playing against the reserves of the reserves 92 00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:21,480 Speaker 2: in the preseason action. So it wasn't like he flashed 93 00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:24,240 Speaker 2: against starting offensive lineman in the early parts of the game, 94 00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:27,800 Speaker 2: or he was going up against rookies that were top 95 00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:29,760 Speaker 2: three round four round draft. 96 00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:32,560 Speaker 10: Picks that you're upbraiding. That goes on this time of year, 97 00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:35,960 Speaker 10: live all those cowboys that they've lost at this man 98 00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:38,159 Speaker 10: Madden so different if you m. 99 00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:41,120 Speaker 1: That was the one guy. 100 00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:43,160 Speaker 9: Maybe I think they got it at least maybe a 101 00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:47,640 Speaker 9: sixth trophy, maybe a seventh that they kept more. I mean, 102 00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:49,800 Speaker 9: it's just a lot to I mean, come on, now, 103 00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:51,080 Speaker 9: what are we talking about here, and this is a 104 00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:53,760 Speaker 9: team that is loaded on defense. It's not like, man, 105 00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:57,039 Speaker 9: they let this guy go to like if everyone's healthy, 106 00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:00,800 Speaker 9: Like you're talking about an edge rushing rotation that he's 107 00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:01,720 Speaker 9: never going to see the field. 108 00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:05,360 Speaker 1: No, yeah, I think when is the last time I 109 00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:07,800 Speaker 1: saw Todd Archer kind of ask the question. 110 00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:08,800 Speaker 10: I talk about this all the time. 111 00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:10,760 Speaker 9: We always laugh about this time of year, how people 112 00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:12,400 Speaker 9: get so bent out of shape over somebody like that, 113 00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:14,640 Speaker 9: and you're just like, name someone that they've let go. 114 00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:16,920 Speaker 9: You're just like, man, that would have changed everything, that 115 00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:18,480 Speaker 9: would have that would have been such a huge loss. 116 00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:21,320 Speaker 2: A lot of times it's like cuts either after the 117 00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:24,720 Speaker 2: fifty three man roster, it's trades, and it's it's if 118 00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:27,080 Speaker 2: they're going to lose somebody that's significant, it doesn't happen 119 00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:29,440 Speaker 2: at this point in the process. It goes either later 120 00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:32,680 Speaker 2: on or at some point early in the process whenever 121 00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:34,359 Speaker 2: they already make a decision on a guy. 122 00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:37,440 Speaker 9: And they've also had a lot of success, probably more 123 00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:40,760 Speaker 9: than most on undrafted rookie free agents that they've brought 124 00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:44,440 Speaker 9: in over the last decade plus, maybe even longer than that. 125 00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:46,760 Speaker 9: You probably go back to the beginning of you know, 126 00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:50,000 Speaker 9: the sixties. I'm sure that they you know, Gil Brandt, 127 00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:52,720 Speaker 9: I'm sure was finding guys that if you go back 128 00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:54,840 Speaker 9: and look, But I'm just saying like this, there's never 129 00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:57,400 Speaker 9: been this like make or break guy that they've let go. 130 00:05:57,600 --> 00:05:59,440 Speaker 9: You're just like, man, that would have made the biggest 131 00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:02,480 Speaker 9: difference in the world. But it's the NFL gets some 132 00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:04,159 Speaker 9: of the blame for this though, because of the fact 133 00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:07,239 Speaker 9: that the NFL does a good job of making. 134 00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:09,880 Speaker 10: Everything seem like it's a holiday. Everything's a holiday. 135 00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:13,600 Speaker 9: The schedule release, first preseason game, second precing get third 136 00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:16,119 Speaker 9: priecon game. Roster cuts, dude, that's one of the biggest 137 00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:17,880 Speaker 9: reasons that surprised me that they cut We actually know what, 138 00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:20,160 Speaker 9: Let me take that back. That's probably why they did 139 00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:22,440 Speaker 9: it so that it'd be only one day of roster cuts, 140 00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:24,120 Speaker 9: because then it's a real holiday. It can't be a 141 00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:26,600 Speaker 9: holiday if it's like, well, we're gonna cut fifteen to 142 00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:28,800 Speaker 9: twenty guess, and then we're gonna cut another couple ten 143 00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:29,400 Speaker 9: to fifteen more. 144 00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:30,440 Speaker 10: No, but when you have to trim the. 145 00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:33,480 Speaker 9: Entire roster and everybody does together, that's a big thing 146 00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:35,599 Speaker 9: that everybody can talk about a lot of talking points. 147 00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:37,680 Speaker 10: But I'm not even this isn't just a cowboys thing. 148 00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:39,480 Speaker 9: I'm talking about like all the teams who was let 149 00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:41,440 Speaker 9: go that you were just like, man, you got to 150 00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:42,440 Speaker 9: get that guy right now. 151 00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:46,559 Speaker 1: Nobody not really. I mean, it depends on the needs 152 00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:47,000 Speaker 1: of the team. 153 00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:49,600 Speaker 2: Like Dallas goes out and gets a couple guys interior 154 00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:52,560 Speaker 2: defensive linemen for the practice squad, interior offensive linemen from 155 00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:52,920 Speaker 2: New York. 156 00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:54,320 Speaker 1: You go and get those guys. 157 00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:55,840 Speaker 2: But other than that, I mean, there's not like a 158 00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:59,600 Speaker 2: massive guy out there that should be talked about. 159 00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:00,200 Speaker 1: In that guard. 160 00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:02,040 Speaker 6: There were a couple of quarterbacks that were interesting, but 161 00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:04,800 Speaker 6: this team specifically doesn't need anymore. But I guess other 162 00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:07,960 Speaker 6: teams could have used Like I'm surprised Bailey's appy cleared waivers. 163 00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:09,160 Speaker 1: And tended up back in New England. Oh that that 164 00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:11,760 Speaker 1: surprised me a little bit. But where did Max Duggan 165 00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:13,000 Speaker 1: and us He ended up back in the charger? 166 00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:16,080 Speaker 2: He did cleared waivers and went right back interesting a 167 00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:17,600 Speaker 2: couple guys there, back and forth. 168 00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:22,440 Speaker 1: What was what was cut day like for you? Isaiah sucked? Yeah, yeah, 169 00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:25,000 Speaker 1: I just cut a lot. Yeah I'm not not throwing 170 00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:28,960 Speaker 1: by no man. I mean yeah. 171 00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:31,160 Speaker 5: I remember when I came here, it was super competitive. 172 00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:33,480 Speaker 5: The team was loaded up, you know, pretty similar to 173 00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:35,360 Speaker 5: how it was loaded up now. I mean, rosters was 174 00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:37,760 Speaker 5: pretty stacked. We had thirteen Pro Bowlers. My rookie year 175 00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:41,400 Speaker 5: here in Dallas, I was battling a ton of injuries, 176 00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:44,400 Speaker 5: so I was personally I was always overcoming something, right. 177 00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:45,560 Speaker 5: I was trying to figure out how to play a 178 00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:48,640 Speaker 5: new position. I was overcoming injuries, I was trying to 179 00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:50,000 Speaker 5: have an impact on the team. So there was a 180 00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:51,960 Speaker 5: lot of stress that I was always on. So cut 181 00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:54,720 Speaker 5: day was always stressful because there was never a time 182 00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:56,760 Speaker 5: that I felt, aside from our first year, that I 183 00:07:56,800 --> 00:08:00,160 Speaker 5: felt like I was just in the clear. So you 184 00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:02,160 Speaker 5: you feel for those guys at least I feel for 185 00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:05,280 Speaker 5: those guys now because it's super stressful. I mean, you 186 00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:08,800 Speaker 5: people didn't understand you sign a contract. Okay, say you 187 00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:11,160 Speaker 5: sign a contract, You're gonna make a million dollars, all right, 188 00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:13,240 Speaker 5: That's that'd be awesome. Right, So you sign one year 189 00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:16,640 Speaker 5: contract million dollars, that doesn't mean you're getting a million 190 00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:21,120 Speaker 5: dollars now. Right, In almost any other industry you sign 191 00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:22,760 Speaker 5: a contract, they say you're gonna get a million dollars, 192 00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:26,000 Speaker 5: you get a million dollars. Not in the NFL. Right, 193 00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:28,720 Speaker 5: they're gonna do everything they can to bring in as 194 00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:33,199 Speaker 5: much competition to ultimately possibly weed you out. So that 195 00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:36,959 Speaker 5: contract that you sign, there is absolutely nothing that you 196 00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:40,320 Speaker 5: can do, nothing that you can do and to make 197 00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:42,319 Speaker 5: sure that you get your bread from that, aside from 198 00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:45,520 Speaker 5: put your best foot forward and hope that that's enough. Right, 199 00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:48,520 Speaker 5: So when you got guys like you know, Isaiah lan 200 00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:50,520 Speaker 5: or or I don't even know who else you want 201 00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:52,120 Speaker 5: to you want to throw out there that are trying 202 00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:54,520 Speaker 5: to make the right Malik Davis right right in the mix, 203 00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:57,280 Speaker 5: Sean McEwan, Sew McEwen, Guys that are like resting their 204 00:08:57,320 --> 00:08:59,720 Speaker 5: head on this money and you're trying to live your 205 00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:03,240 Speaker 5: life on a potential salary life. 206 00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:03,800 Speaker 1: It's hard. 207 00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:05,360 Speaker 5: And I know a lot of people at home we're 208 00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:07,599 Speaker 5: gonna say, oh, they're making this much money. I get it, 209 00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:09,000 Speaker 5: I get it's all relative. 210 00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:11,240 Speaker 10: It's some of those thoughts are going through my mat Yeah, 211 00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:13,560 Speaker 10: for sure, I'd love to play. 212 00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:16,240 Speaker 5: It's all relative, right, So I mean you think about 213 00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:18,559 Speaker 5: most of the guys if this was not, if this 214 00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:21,240 Speaker 5: isn't where they're from, they most likely have a residence 215 00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:24,240 Speaker 5: back home, Okay, And then you have a residence here, 216 00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:27,800 Speaker 5: so you're paying call it maybe a mortgage and uh 217 00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:31,240 Speaker 5: rent in rent. Right, So you're paying mortgage and rent. Right, 218 00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:32,760 Speaker 5: You're going back and forth, so you got to pay 219 00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:35,920 Speaker 5: transportation costs. You're getting tax in the highest tax bracket. Right, 220 00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:38,280 Speaker 5: if you're just in that high tax bracket. Now, all 221 00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:40,640 Speaker 5: of a sudden, you're getting taxes if you're making you know, 222 00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:43,839 Speaker 5: big boy money when you're really just barely scraping that 223 00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:44,800 Speaker 5: tax bracket. 224 00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:47,840 Speaker 1: So you're getting taxed a high percentage. You're paying a percentage. 225 00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:50,080 Speaker 5: I always say, you know if it depending on your faith, right, 226 00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:52,120 Speaker 5: you're paying another ten percent towards that. You're paying another 227 00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:54,520 Speaker 5: three percent to your agent. So I mean you you're 228 00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:58,440 Speaker 5: under fifty percent of what you see in these contracts. 229 00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:01,480 Speaker 5: And that's if you even make the roster, right, and 230 00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:05,080 Speaker 5: even after you make the roster, unless you're a seasoned veteran, 231 00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:07,120 Speaker 5: that if you're on the roster day one, you know 232 00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:09,319 Speaker 5: you're guaranteed. That's why some of this stuff kind of 233 00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:11,439 Speaker 5: kind of still happens going back and forth in terms 234 00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:13,839 Speaker 5: of practice squad. Now you'll see some veterans on a 235 00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:15,959 Speaker 5: practice squad through week one and then all of a 236 00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:17,960 Speaker 5: sudden they end up on the regular roster because now 237 00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:20,360 Speaker 5: they don't have to guarantee their money. But even after that, 238 00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:23,440 Speaker 5: imagine having that contract and still not having the assurance 239 00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:26,080 Speaker 5: that you can make a check the next week. Life 240 00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:29,400 Speaker 5: is stressful every single day, and a lot of people 241 00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:31,320 Speaker 5: that are on salary make a lot of decisions based 242 00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:33,720 Speaker 5: upon their family, based upon their home, and the rest 243 00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:35,480 Speaker 5: of their life based upon the money that they know 244 00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:36,360 Speaker 5: is going to come in. 245 00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:39,040 Speaker 1: You can't live that way in the NFL, and it sucks. 246 00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:41,160 Speaker 6: A really quick story that was shared with me yesterday 247 00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:42,719 Speaker 6: that I thought was really interesting and it kind of 248 00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:44,719 Speaker 6: aligns with the point here. I was talking to Trey 249 00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:47,320 Speaker 6: Lance about how he's having to move his entire life 250 00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:49,480 Speaker 6: back out here to Texas. It's like, I just bought 251 00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:51,400 Speaker 6: a house in San Francisco last year, and I'm gonna 252 00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:52,439 Speaker 6: have to I was like, do you still have to 253 00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:53,960 Speaker 6: go back and get all your stuff. And he's like, yeah, 254 00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:55,319 Speaker 6: we're gonna have to figure that one out. And he's like, 255 00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:57,400 Speaker 6: I'm up to the Omnie right now for a little bit. 256 00:10:57,600 --> 00:10:59,120 Speaker 1: So and that's tough. 257 00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:00,800 Speaker 6: That's really tough when you have to flip on a 258 00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:03,160 Speaker 6: dime and move somewhere and be ready to go one 259 00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:03,960 Speaker 6: of my very next day. 260 00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:06,199 Speaker 5: One of my female friends actually actually works with some 261 00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:08,400 Speaker 5: of the guys here on the team, but she started 262 00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:11,480 Speaker 5: a whole relocation company for athletes. 263 00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:14,240 Speaker 1: That's smart because it's a real thing. It is a 264 00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:14,920 Speaker 1: stressful thing. 265 00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:17,319 Speaker 5: When I got let go from here, I luckily was 266 00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:19,040 Speaker 5: able to keep my house, but I had to find 267 00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:20,560 Speaker 5: a spot in New England days later. 268 00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:23,320 Speaker 6: Yeah, you think I have like a scouting department, Like, okay, 269 00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:24,319 Speaker 6: I think he's gonna get cut. 270 00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:25,040 Speaker 1: We should start. 271 00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:27,000 Speaker 5: Calling you know what they are on standby. I can 272 00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:30,599 Speaker 5: propature that, but it's such marketers. But I mean to 273 00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:33,240 Speaker 5: you to your point, I mean, you got tax ramifications. 274 00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:35,719 Speaker 5: You know you're getting taxed every city, every state that 275 00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:38,200 Speaker 5: you play a game and you get taxed that game. 276 00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:40,200 Speaker 5: You play a game in New York, you're getting taxed 277 00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:41,720 Speaker 5: for New York for that week and there's a lot 278 00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:44,120 Speaker 5: of things that the general public just doesn't understand. 279 00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:46,559 Speaker 1: But it is a stressful life, man, and you're blessed 280 00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:47,160 Speaker 1: to you're. 281 00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:49,559 Speaker 5: Blessed to have the opportunity, but it does not come 282 00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:52,240 Speaker 5: especially for guys that are that are on the on 283 00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:55,560 Speaker 5: the bubble, or guys that are getting lower tier salaries 284 00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:59,439 Speaker 5: in comparison, right in comparison to their comrades.

Isn't that weird? 366 00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:02,200 Speaker 1: He must have been before the twenty twenty draft class. 367 00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:03,760 Speaker 7: He was twenty nineteen. 368 00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:06,080 Speaker 1: Okay, there it. 369 00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:09,680 Speaker 2: Is defensive tackle from the Bucks as Prevalon is now 370 00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:13,360 Speaker 2: a Cowboys d tackle on the practice squad, Sean Harlowe 371 00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:15,120 Speaker 2: offensive lineman from the Giants. 372 00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:17,600 Speaker 1: But then you've got Malik Davis, Sean. 373 00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:22,000 Speaker 2: McEwan, Jalen Cropper, Earl Bostik, Tyrone, Billy Johnson, brock Hoffman, 374 00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:26,400 Speaker 2: Malik Jefferson, C.

Yeah, right about it? 381 00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:44,400 Speaker 5: And Nick told me that we were gonna my bubble 382 00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:46,680 Speaker 5: guts were gonna be settled. He's gonna go off without 383 00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:49,360 Speaker 5: having to drink pink drinks. Okay, must bubble guts are 384 00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:50,720 Speaker 5: gonna be I'm gonna have a solution for this. 385 00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:52,840 Speaker 1: Have a little black rifle. I'm having a little black 386 00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:54,720 Speaker 1: rifle company to settle my bubble. 387 00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:58,240 Speaker 7: But they went and got off place. 388 00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:01,800 Speaker 1: It's not enough. They got a practice squad office. It's 389 00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:02,760 Speaker 1: not one. 390 00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:03,720 Speaker 7: Though I agree with you. 391 00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:04,520 Speaker 1: They have to be thinking. 392 00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:06,920 Speaker 5: I mean, think about this worst case scenario. Right, I'm 393 00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:08,160 Speaker 5: not putting this in the air, but I'm just saying 394 00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:09,880 Speaker 5: this is reality. Sounds like you're putting it in I'm 395 00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:10,640 Speaker 5: not putting it in air at all. 396 00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:12,160 Speaker 1: Okay, I wanted to come back down. So it's like 397 00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:13,080 Speaker 1: helium after a day. 398 00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:19,040 Speaker 5: So if something were to happen as random as what 399 00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:22,160 Speaker 5: happened to Tyring last year, okay, right there in the indoor, 400 00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:23,720 Speaker 5: there's something random like that happened. 401 00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:26,080 Speaker 1: What is the state of your mind at that point. 402 00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:29,960 Speaker 9: That you have to have somebody's step a big guard 403 00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:32,600 Speaker 9: because Tyler Smith is going back out to left tackle 404 00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:33,760 Speaker 9: And how do you feel about that? 405 00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:34,600 Speaker 11: Oh? 406 00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:36,240 Speaker 10: Not great? But I don't think that they do either. 407 00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:37,720 Speaker 9: I mean, they're not going to come out here and 408 00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:39,640 Speaker 9: tell you this when they're trying to get a mooky 409 00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:41,320 Speaker 9: for somebody. But I would be surprised if they're just 410 00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:44,360 Speaker 9: sitting there and going, yep, fifty three, we got her 411 00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:47,320 Speaker 9: what we need. I find it hard to believe that 412 00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:49,720 Speaker 9: I know they're not lying to go no, that we're good. 413 00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:50,160 Speaker 10: We're good. 414 00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:53,160 Speaker 9: I mean, I mean, heck, even with Terrence Steele, like 415 00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:55,240 Speaker 9: I know, everything's been great, had to schedule and all that, 416 00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:58,520 Speaker 9: it's still a major still early he's from Yeah, Like, yeah, 417 00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:00,800 Speaker 9: there's no question that you look at the roster and 418 00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:03,680 Speaker 9: you automatically go to that offensive line depth. 419 00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:04,359 Speaker 1: There's no question. 420 00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:06,480 Speaker 6: It's kind of felt at times that they're trying to 421 00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:08,640 Speaker 6: find more the left tackle replacement than the left guard 422 00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:11,320 Speaker 6: replacement at times, like moving Chum Doga out to left tackle. 423 00:17:11,320 --> 00:17:13,119 Speaker 6: I feel like he's more of a natural guard anyway. 424 00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:15,639 Speaker 6: But then awesome Richard's moving him to left tackle and 425 00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:18,520 Speaker 6: giving him all those reps during the preseason specifically. 426 00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:20,399 Speaker 1: So don't you feel more confident at tackle right now 427 00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:24,160 Speaker 1: than you do at guard? Yes, because you have more guys. 428 00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:27,160 Speaker 10: Yeah, you could play musical chairs ability. 429 00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:30,800 Speaker 9: But the part I don't feel comforted about is that 430 00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:34,080 Speaker 9: you don't have that swing tackle that like, is the 431 00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:38,440 Speaker 9: next that's ready to come up and play there. Because 432 00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:41,520 Speaker 9: Tyler's been great at moving back and forth. He says 433 00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:43,960 Speaker 9: all the right things. He is just like the way 434 00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:47,639 Speaker 9: he's wired is I mean like that just see crazy 435 00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:50,119 Speaker 9: draft steel that they were able to even then, the 436 00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:51,960 Speaker 9: thing that there were even questions about taking him in 437 00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:53,119 Speaker 9: the first round. Now that you get to see the 438 00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:55,760 Speaker 9: whole picture, he's been amazing. But I still don't love 439 00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:57,639 Speaker 9: the idea of having to be like, yeah, man, just 440 00:17:57,680 --> 00:17:59,320 Speaker 9: be ready because you're gonna play left guard this week, 441 00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:00,000 Speaker 9: left tackle next week. 442 00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:01,600 Speaker 10: Maybe get back to left guard. Like I would. I 443 00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:04,399 Speaker 10: would love to keep him for a full resians, you know, 444 00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:05,000 Speaker 10: and not. 445 00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:05,960 Speaker 1: Have to move him all the time. 446 00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:09,760 Speaker 2: I think with the tackle position and not having that 447 00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:12,000 Speaker 2: swing tackle, he is your de facto swing tackle. But 448 00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:15,000 Speaker 2: does that really settle the debate at swing tackle. I mean, 449 00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:16,800 Speaker 2: you want somebody to come up and step up in 450 00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:18,960 Speaker 2: that regard, but do you who do you need more? 451 00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:21,280 Speaker 1: Do you need a swing tackle to step up or 452 00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:22,560 Speaker 1: do you need a guard to steps. 453 00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:26,440 Speaker 9: Really, if Terrence goes down, then Terrence goes down, then 454 00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:29,280 Speaker 9: Tyrant goes back out to right, then Tyler, that's the 455 00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:30,120 Speaker 9: one where see swing. 456 00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:33,320 Speaker 5: Swing tackle to me is a luxury. Swing tackle is 457 00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:35,320 Speaker 5: a luxury. If you can find somebody that can swing 458 00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:38,240 Speaker 5: both both sides are so valuable in the league, that 459 00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:42,080 Speaker 5: is a luxury. So that I know, we get Dallas 460 00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:44,280 Speaker 5: has gotten used to having a swing tackle. So it's 461 00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:47,159 Speaker 5: kind of like, you know, just they're kind of like vitamins, right, 462 00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:48,719 Speaker 5: they just see they're just used to having them. 463 00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:51,679 Speaker 1: But it's not normal. It's not normal. 464 00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:55,080 Speaker 5: So I don't rest as much pressure on that. I 465 00:18:55,119 --> 00:18:57,280 Speaker 5: don't't put as much emphasis on a swing tackle, but 466 00:18:58,119 --> 00:19:04,480 Speaker 5: true guards I do. I definitely do because you take 467 00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:07,200 Speaker 5: Tyler biadis that Yes, he got the Pro Bowl and 468 00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:08,080 Speaker 5: all that jazz. 469 00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:13,120 Speaker 1: But I still not a gung hole about Tyler Biada's 470 00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:14,159 Speaker 1: no disrespect to him. 471 00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:16,680 Speaker 5: I just think when you start facing somebody these off 472 00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:19,080 Speaker 5: to some of these deepensive linemen that the Cowboys are 473 00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:21,760 Speaker 5: gonna have to definitely handle this year, I need some 474 00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:26,080 Speaker 5: dogs in there, and I need some dogs behind the dogs. Right, So, 475 00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:28,840 Speaker 5: if something were to happen because this big boy football 476 00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:30,280 Speaker 5: and injuries happen, they just do. 477 00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:30,840 Speaker 9: Right. 478 00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:34,200 Speaker 2: Look at every year of Miamcarthy's tenure that they haven't 479 00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:35,560 Speaker 2: had a healthy offensive line. 480 00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:37,720 Speaker 1: It's just it's unrealistic. The thing that offensive linemen are 481 00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:41,399 Speaker 1: gonnat through a whole year on. It's just Yeah, So I. 482 00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:43,960 Speaker 5: Don't feel like you got that that dog that you 483 00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:47,480 Speaker 5: just like, Okay, we're good, we're good. Get healthy, Kyle, 484 00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:49,560 Speaker 5: you're good, We're straight. I'll be like, hey, how you 485 00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:52,080 Speaker 5: feeling me good? You want to push it a little bit? 486 00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:52,440 Speaker 1: Hey? Break? 487 00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:53,960 Speaker 5: Can we tape it up? You can't tap it up, 488 00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:57,360 Speaker 5: you know what I mean? Like, no disrespect to any 489 00:19:57,359 --> 00:19:58,600 Speaker 5: of the guys. I'm just saying that's just my sense 490 00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:01,920 Speaker 5: of security right now. I'm hoping, and I know the 491 00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:03,960 Speaker 5: front office does an amazing job. This is the most 492 00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:06,080 Speaker 5: aggressive I've ever seen them in an off season in 493 00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:08,320 Speaker 5: a regular season, like they're being super aggressive. 494 00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:11,320 Speaker 1: I hope that continues. I hope they keep that energy to. 495 00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:15,040 Speaker 5: Secure that position because chances are something will happen at 496 00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:15,640 Speaker 5: some point in time. 497 00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:18,399 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's it's bound to happen, and things are going 498 00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:21,240 Speaker 2: to definitely come in and throw a wrench into things. 499 00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:23,080 Speaker 2: And I don't want it to happen on the offensive line. 500 00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:24,960 Speaker 2: And right now, I think all of us would agree 501 00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:28,000 Speaker 2: that's the number one position of concern on this football team, 502 00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:31,080 Speaker 2: right I think it's offensive line. Other than that, you 503 00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:33,320 Speaker 2: feel really good about this roster.

You know, it's not 620 00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:51,119 Speaker 9: like it's not like they just became the Cowboys and 621 00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:54,080 Speaker 9: in the nineties by winning Super Bowls. It was everything 622 00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:57,040 Speaker 9: he did scouting wise before that changed the game in 623 00:25:57,160 --> 00:25:59,920 Speaker 9: scouting to where it still has impact today. 624 00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:02,200 Speaker 10: I mean it kind of sped everything up to where, 625 00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:03,919 Speaker 10: you know, just the. 626 00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:07,800 Speaker 9: Idea of doing all the scouting and not having it 627 00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:10,159 Speaker 9: all computerized and things like that, Like it just seems 628 00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:13,280 Speaker 9: like so crazy that that just would seem like that's 629 00:26:13,280 --> 00:26:15,280 Speaker 9: what you would do. Everybody would do that once there 630 00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:17,920 Speaker 9: came a time when like, okay, now they're introducing computers, 631 00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:19,400 Speaker 9: we got to be able to get all this information 632 00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:21,399 Speaker 9: onto some and he was the first person to do that. 633 00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:24,000 Speaker 9: Now it's like it would be insane to think about 634 00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:26,040 Speaker 9: not having that.

It was just 664 00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:36,560 Speaker 6: easier to go find guys. And they said that this 665 00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:38,560 Speaker 6: computer was It sat on the ground. It was three 666 00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:40,120 Speaker 6: feet tall and twelve feet wide. 667 00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:40,480 Speaker 3: Wow. 668 00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:42,560 Speaker 7: He brought a guy in from the Middle East to 669 00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:43,280 Speaker 7: help construct it. 670 00:27:43,359 --> 00:27:43,680 Speaker 1: He said. 671 00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:45,239 Speaker 6: The guy from the Middle East didn't even know if 672 00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:47,879 Speaker 6: the football was stuffed or pumped, but he came in 673 00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:50,720 Speaker 6: and he brought the He brought the computer in and 674 00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:52,560 Speaker 6: that kind of helped them get going in the early 675 00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:55,240 Speaker 6: times for the Dallas Cowboys to be able to scout players, 676 00:27:55,480 --> 00:27:57,040 Speaker 6: and then that's how they started finding a lot of 677 00:27:57,080 --> 00:27:59,679 Speaker 6: guys in the HBCU ranks. And because those guys were 678 00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:03,680 Speaker 6: having the the prototype height, size, weight, all of that 679 00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:06,119 Speaker 6: at that time, you know that that led to Everson 680 00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:08,600 Speaker 6: Walls being picked up as an undrafted free agent, and 681 00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:10,880 Speaker 6: you know, so on and so forth. So I thought 682 00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:13,760 Speaker 6: that was really interesting. And then also the emphasis on 683 00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:17,080 Speaker 6: finding multi sport athletes was super cool too. And you know, 684 00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:19,520 Speaker 6: I think I believe he had five guys on the 685 00:28:19,600 --> 00:28:22,200 Speaker 6: first Super Bowl team that did not play college football, 686 00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:25,280 Speaker 6: which is which is absolutely fantastic. So and you think 687 00:28:25,280 --> 00:28:27,399 Speaker 6: about that whenever Rico Gathers comes in about like ten 688 00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:30,840 Speaker 6: years ago, right, So, yeah, very fascinating and very revolutionary 689 00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:33,720 Speaker 6: to how we even do scouting today. So yeah, everything's 690 00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:34,440 Speaker 6: owed to Gil Brandt. 691 00:28:35,040 --> 00:28:37,760 Speaker 1: You ever had a chance to interact with Gills specifically, 692 00:28:38,080 --> 00:28:38,400 Speaker 1: I did not. 693 00:28:38,560 --> 00:28:39,640 Speaker 5: I did not, but I've heard a lot of the 694 00:28:39,720 --> 00:28:41,640 Speaker 5: stories and some of the things that you guys just 695 00:28:41,680 --> 00:28:44,720 Speaker 5: shared obviously, but that's just one of the Cowboys legends. 696 00:28:44,760 --> 00:28:46,840 Speaker 5: And when you hear a word legend is it's about 697 00:28:46,840 --> 00:28:50,080 Speaker 5: the impact even beyond your lifespan. So the fact that 698 00:28:50,120 --> 00:28:52,080 Speaker 5: they were able to honor him and give him his 699 00:28:52,160 --> 00:28:55,040 Speaker 5: flowers while he was here, that's absolutely awesome. That's why 700 00:28:55,080 --> 00:28:56,920 Speaker 5: it's important to do so for everybody else out there 701 00:28:56,960 --> 00:28:59,920 Speaker 5: that has people that may be on the cusp, where 702 00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:03,320 Speaker 5: people that are not get people their flowers now so 703 00:29:03,400 --> 00:29:05,480 Speaker 5: that they know that they're loved and appreciate it. And 704 00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:07,960 Speaker 5: legends like him, they'll continue to live on forever. Their 705 00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:08,680 Speaker 5: legacy will. 706 00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:10,880 Speaker 2: Well said ninety one years old, Gil brand It was 707 00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:12,680 Speaker 2: a full life. He lived it all the way up 708 00:29:12,760 --> 00:29:15,040 Speaker 2: until the end. He was very active, even on Twitter. 709 00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:18,560 Speaker 2: He was making dad jokes on the final days prior 710 00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:21,720 Speaker 2: to him passing away on Thursday. So rest in peace 711 00:29:21,800 --> 00:29:24,800 Speaker 2: to Gil Brandt and certainly a legend in the building, 712 00:29:24,840 --> 00:29:27,040 Speaker 2: a legend in the league, and somebody who will have 713 00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:31,360 Speaker 2: that legacy live on for quite some time. But excited 714 00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:33,920 Speaker 2: to see the fruits of his labor continue here in 715 00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:36,360 Speaker 2: the Cowboys fans and of course as a Hall of 716 00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:38,200 Speaker 2: Famer and as a Ring of Honor member, they're going 717 00:29:38,280 --> 00:29:41,800 Speaker 2: to continue to memorialize him as the season goes along, and. 718 00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:45,040 Speaker 1: That'll be really really cool. To see. All right, we 719 00:29:45,160 --> 00:29:47,800 Speaker 1: talked about some text messages. We've got some good questions 720 00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:48,320 Speaker 1: in here. 721 00:29:48,480 --> 00:29:53,600 Speaker 2: Mike from Fort Lauderdale, he's concerned about Jordan Lewis, and 722 00:29:53,720 --> 00:29:57,200 Speaker 2: I'll paraphrase his question here, but he's saying Jordan Lewis 723 00:29:57,360 --> 00:30:01,120 Speaker 2: very similar to a situation that Michael Gallup pad last year. 724 00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:03,080 Speaker 1: He's not injured enough to. 725 00:30:03,080 --> 00:30:04,640 Speaker 2: Go on the pup list or to go onto ir 726 00:30:04,720 --> 00:30:07,760 Speaker 2: list early on on, but still kind of an in 727 00:30:07,920 --> 00:30:10,160 Speaker 2: between guy in those first four weeks of the season. 728 00:30:10,320 --> 00:30:13,400 Speaker 2: But John, do you really feel like Jordan has a 729 00:30:13,520 --> 00:30:15,920 Speaker 2: chance to return in a better form than Michael Gallup 730 00:30:15,960 --> 00:30:18,600 Speaker 2: did last year? Because Gallup, of course, never really looked 731 00:30:18,680 --> 00:30:21,560 Speaker 2: right whenever he got worked back into the full Yeah, it's. 732 00:30:21,480 --> 00:30:24,480 Speaker 9: Gonna be tough, just because of how significant that foot 733 00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:27,640 Speaker 9: injury was for Jordan Lewis. I think that everyone just 734 00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:29,800 Speaker 9: needs a caution from thinking he's going to step in 735 00:30:30,040 --> 00:30:31,720 Speaker 9: right away and be the player he was before. 736 00:30:31,720 --> 00:30:33,040 Speaker 10: He's gonna need some time to catch up. 737 00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:35,040 Speaker 9: I mean, he's been working on the side and he's 738 00:30:35,080 --> 00:30:36,720 Speaker 9: able to do all the movements that you need to do, 739 00:30:36,800 --> 00:30:38,960 Speaker 9: but he hasn't been able to do it against NFL competition. 740 00:30:39,120 --> 00:30:41,280 Speaker 9: So for me, I almost look at it as kind 741 00:30:41,320 --> 00:30:43,680 Speaker 9: of like this is a sped up training camp starting 742 00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:46,280 Speaker 9: for him right now. So if you're expecting for him 743 00:30:46,320 --> 00:30:48,400 Speaker 9: to contribute in these first few weeks, I don't know. 744 00:30:48,480 --> 00:30:49,840 Speaker 10: I think that might be asking for a lot. 745 00:30:50,200 --> 00:30:52,280 Speaker 9: But let him get kind of caught up to where 746 00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:54,680 Speaker 9: he needs to be football wise, and I do think 747 00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:58,480 Speaker 9: he can contribute in several different ways. And also the 748 00:30:58,560 --> 00:31:01,360 Speaker 9: other thing is that while he's gonna have a lot 749 00:31:01,400 --> 00:31:03,840 Speaker 9: of pressure that he's gonna put on himself, because of 750 00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:06,479 Speaker 9: the corners that are on this team, there isn't going 751 00:31:06,520 --> 00:31:08,480 Speaker 9: to be as much pressure on him as there was 752 00:31:08,560 --> 00:31:11,240 Speaker 9: with Michael gallupboard. It's like, okay, Michael, you're ready. You're ready. Okay, 753 00:31:11,240 --> 00:31:13,040 Speaker 9: you gotta be R two. All right, Like let's go. 754 00:31:13,840 --> 00:31:15,760 Speaker 9: You know what we Omari's gone. 755 00:31:15,800 --> 00:31:17,080 Speaker 10: This is your time. Now you have to step up. 756 00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:20,160 Speaker 9: Like if Jordan does that and steps up and plays 757 00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:21,680 Speaker 9: at you know, the level we've seen h in the past, 758 00:31:21,840 --> 00:31:25,440 Speaker 9: that's great. But if not, you do have Jaron Bland 759 00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:27,640 Speaker 9: playing in there, and then on the outside obviously with 760 00:31:28,080 --> 00:31:31,960 Speaker 9: Diggs and gilmore So you know, I I just know 761 00:31:32,080 --> 00:31:34,600 Speaker 9: what type of worker he is and how dedicated he 762 00:31:34,760 --> 00:31:36,560 Speaker 9: is and the type of player he is. Being around 763 00:31:36,640 --> 00:31:39,360 Speaker 9: him now for a while and he's going to do everything. 764 00:31:39,400 --> 00:31:41,080 Speaker 9: It just but you also got to kind of keep 765 00:31:41,120 --> 00:31:44,120 Speaker 9: this into perspective of like being in shape right now 766 00:31:44,200 --> 00:31:46,360 Speaker 9: and being in football shape rate to contribute on Sunday 767 00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:47,400 Speaker 9: is a little bit different. 768 00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:50,680 Speaker 2: That's a phenomenal point, I think comparing it to Gallup 769 00:31:50,760 --> 00:31:53,280 Speaker 2: last year because Gallup was expected to be wide receiver 770 00:31:53,400 --> 00:31:56,000 Speaker 2: too and then never ended up working out what would 771 00:31:56,080 --> 00:31:59,680 Speaker 2: be the expectation, a realistic expectation Nick of Jordan Lewis 772 00:31:59,720 --> 00:32:01,680 Speaker 2: and where he fits into this cornerback rotation. 773 00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:04,920 Speaker 6: Yeah, working in when the season starts, and then once 774 00:32:04,960 --> 00:32:06,920 Speaker 6: we get to week five, week six, maybe we're seeing 775 00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:08,840 Speaker 6: him full time, you know, playing the role that he 776 00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:12,600 Speaker 6: was playing last year. But yeah, it's all a mental 777 00:32:12,640 --> 00:32:14,280 Speaker 6: game when it comes to those injuries. I think it's 778 00:32:14,280 --> 00:32:16,040 Speaker 6: a little bit different from Gallup just by the nature 779 00:32:16,040 --> 00:32:19,920 Speaker 6: of the injury as well. So you know, whatever factors 780 00:32:19,960 --> 00:32:22,000 Speaker 6: into that mental aspect of it, we'll see. But I 781 00:32:22,080 --> 00:32:24,960 Speaker 6: will say with Jordan Lewis, I mean since OTAs he's 782 00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:26,440 Speaker 6: been saying I'm ready to go back on the field, 783 00:32:26,520 --> 00:32:29,840 Speaker 6: So it's definitely I don't think there's any mental laps 784 00:32:29,920 --> 00:32:31,760 Speaker 6: going on, but it's really tough to tell until you 785 00:32:31,800 --> 00:32:32,680 Speaker 6: go between those lines. 786 00:32:34,800 --> 00:32:37,040 Speaker 5: So I had an opportunity to run into Britt Brown 787 00:32:37,040 --> 00:32:40,200 Speaker 5: while we were down there in auxn Art, and unfortunately, 788 00:32:40,360 --> 00:32:42,080 Speaker 5: but fortunately, I spent a lot of time with Britt 789 00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:44,000 Speaker 5: during my time here, and I can tell you that's 790 00:32:44,080 --> 00:32:46,760 Speaker 5: a hard man to impress. It's a hard man to impress. 791 00:32:46,800 --> 00:32:48,719 Speaker 5: It's a man that you have to earn his respect. 792 00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:52,840 Speaker 5: And he is a freaking boss at what he does. 793 00:32:53,360 --> 00:32:55,480 Speaker 5: That's why he's so well respected around the league. They 794 00:32:55,600 --> 00:32:58,000 Speaker 5: tried to steal him thousands of times. He's dedicated to 795 00:32:58,000 --> 00:33:00,720 Speaker 5: the Cowboys, So Cowboys Nation year year. You're lucky to 796 00:33:00,800 --> 00:33:01,760 Speaker 5: have that man on your staff. 797 00:33:01,840 --> 00:33:03,160 Speaker 1: He's a dude. He is that dude. 798 00:33:04,760 --> 00:33:11,400 Speaker 5: I have never heard Britt ever say this about any 799 00:33:11,440 --> 00:33:13,280 Speaker 5: other guy except from Jordan Lewis. And he told me 800 00:33:13,360 --> 00:33:15,640 Speaker 5: that Jordan Lewis in regards to his injury, because I 801 00:33:15,680 --> 00:33:17,600 Speaker 5: was asking about it, and he said that it was 802 00:33:17,600 --> 00:33:22,000 Speaker 5: a pretty substantial injury. I had a list Frank injury 803 00:33:22,400 --> 00:33:25,680 Speaker 5: that they drafted me with the list Frank injury. I 804 00:33:25,760 --> 00:33:28,440 Speaker 5: think this was that maybe a little bit different, for sure, 805 00:33:28,960 --> 00:33:31,400 Speaker 5: but they said. Britt Brown said, I have to hold 806 00:33:31,480 --> 00:33:34,920 Speaker 5: this guy back. He said, I have to hold him 807 00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:37,680 Speaker 5: back because he would be on the field already if 808 00:33:37,720 --> 00:33:41,240 Speaker 5: it wasn't for us his work ethic, his mental toughness, 809 00:33:42,800 --> 00:33:45,440 Speaker 5: his steadfast spirit, and all that he does. He said, 810 00:33:45,560 --> 00:33:48,040 Speaker 5: this dude wants to be on the field. He wants 811 00:33:48,080 --> 00:33:49,520 Speaker 5: to have an impact. He wants to be out there 812 00:33:49,600 --> 00:33:52,680 Speaker 5: right now. We just have to We have to monitor 813 00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:54,400 Speaker 5: him and we have to hold him back so that 814 00:33:54,480 --> 00:33:56,680 Speaker 5: we can make sure that he comes back and actually 815 00:33:56,720 --> 00:33:59,400 Speaker 5: can have an impact. He doesn't do anything too rash, 816 00:33:59,800 --> 00:34:05,400 Speaker 5: so I thought that was major, especially from where the 817 00:34:05,480 --> 00:34:06,320 Speaker 5: source was coming from. 818 00:34:06,440 --> 00:34:07,160 Speaker 1: He doesn't just give. 819 00:34:08,400 --> 00:34:13,040 Speaker 5: He does not, so that is very encouraging. But to 820 00:34:13,160 --> 00:34:16,520 Speaker 5: your point, John, you have to temper expectations. I could 821 00:34:16,560 --> 00:34:19,040 Speaker 5: tell you from just my experience. I can't put this 822 00:34:19,160 --> 00:34:22,480 Speaker 5: on j Lou because hearing this from from Bread is awesome. 823 00:34:23,760 --> 00:34:27,239 Speaker 5: Mentally and physically, there's two different things in terms of 824 00:34:27,320 --> 00:34:29,920 Speaker 5: when you're coming back from an injury. You may physically 825 00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:32,719 Speaker 5: be capable of coming back, but mentally, if you're not 826 00:34:32,800 --> 00:34:35,200 Speaker 5: coming over that hurdle, you're not gonna even go be 827 00:34:35,239 --> 00:34:39,200 Speaker 5: a shadow of who you were before. So physically they 828 00:34:39,239 --> 00:34:41,120 Speaker 5: will let him back on the field, and they're letting 829 00:34:41,200 --> 00:34:43,560 Speaker 5: him back on the field as they see fit. 830 00:34:44,080 --> 00:34:46,560 Speaker 1: The mental aspect is the only is up to him, 831 00:34:47,320 --> 00:34:49,080 Speaker 1: and it sounds like he's in the right spot. It 832 00:34:49,080 --> 00:34:50,239 Speaker 1: sounds like he's in the right spot. 833 00:34:50,440 --> 00:34:53,920 Speaker 5: So as long as he doesn't have any apprehension to 834 00:34:54,560 --> 00:34:58,200 Speaker 5: making full speed cuts, you know, being you know, hesitant 835 00:34:58,400 --> 00:34:59,960 Speaker 5: before he makes a cut like those are the things 836 00:35:00,120 --> 00:35:02,319 Speaker 5: is that prevents you from being coming that player again 837 00:35:02,320 --> 00:35:05,160 Speaker 5: because you just don't have full confidence that everything's okay. 838 00:35:05,640 --> 00:35:08,520 Speaker 5: But once that's removed, I think you're going to have 839 00:35:08,640 --> 00:35:11,839 Speaker 5: another great asset on this roster. 840 00:35:12,080 --> 00:35:14,080 Speaker 1: That's awesome, great insight overall. 841 00:35:14,280 --> 00:35:16,560 Speaker 2: Now, because you have such great insight, we're gonna go 842 00:35:16,560 --> 00:35:18,440 Speaker 2: to your hometown and hear from one of our favorites, 843 00:35:18,560 --> 00:35:22,040 Speaker 2: Maurice from Tacoma, Washington, not hometown, but close to. 844 00:35:22,160 --> 00:35:24,879 Speaker 1: Us, Stinkytown, tach Town, I mean it's close to It's 845 00:35:25,000 --> 00:35:29,759 Speaker 1: still the Pacific Northwest. Are you a Dove fan? Absolutely, 846 00:35:30,560 --> 00:35:32,160 Speaker 1: then let's go there. 847 00:35:32,160 --> 00:35:32,360 Speaker 8: It is. 848 00:35:32,640 --> 00:35:33,879 Speaker 1: What up, Maurice, how's it going? 849 00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:34,319 Speaker 11: My friend? 850 00:35:34,880 --> 00:35:36,640 Speaker 4: Hey? First off, I just want to say it's such 851 00:35:36,680 --> 00:35:38,560 Speaker 4: a blessing to have you guys back on the air. 852 00:35:38,800 --> 00:35:41,000 Speaker 4: Was so tough for uschlug drivers who listen to you 853 00:35:41,120 --> 00:35:47,480 Speaker 4: every day to do. Man, it's a beautiful situation. But uh, 854 00:35:47,600 --> 00:35:50,640 Speaker 4: my question is everybody was really hyped up about Dak 855 00:35:50,800 --> 00:35:53,160 Speaker 4: and how well he did in that game with the 856 00:35:53,200 --> 00:35:55,680 Speaker 4: play calling. But I'm a little concerned to why not 857 00:35:56,000 --> 00:35:58,840 Speaker 4: Mike take advantage of the time and the opportunity to 858 00:35:58,920 --> 00:36:00,879 Speaker 4: really kind of zero in on your on your game 859 00:36:00,960 --> 00:36:03,120 Speaker 4: and make sure you got it back. Do we think 860 00:36:03,160 --> 00:36:05,120 Speaker 4: we should be concerned that he didn't take advantage of 861 00:36:05,200 --> 00:36:07,880 Speaker 4: our opportunity for Yeah, that's my question. Would hang up, 862 00:36:07,920 --> 00:36:08,960 Speaker 4: Thanks for taking my call. 863 00:36:09,080 --> 00:36:12,000 Speaker 2: Thank you, Maurice, appreciate the calls as always, and and 864 00:36:12,360 --> 00:36:15,319 Speaker 2: keep keep working out there in the truck driving world. 865 00:36:15,360 --> 00:36:18,600 Speaker 2: That's a that's a tough gig as well. But uh, 866 00:36:19,640 --> 00:36:22,279 Speaker 2: do you let's let's start with John. I want to 867 00:36:22,280 --> 00:36:23,160 Speaker 2: start with John on this one. 868 00:36:23,320 --> 00:36:24,040 Speaker 4: Do you like the. 869 00:36:24,160 --> 00:36:26,640 Speaker 2: Opportunity for Dak to go in and play call in 870 00:36:26,760 --> 00:36:29,680 Speaker 2: that final preseason game or that Mike McCarthy probably needed 871 00:36:29,719 --> 00:36:31,360 Speaker 2: that reps, those reps. 872 00:36:31,600 --> 00:36:34,200 Speaker 9: Oh, I'm fine with that on that I I this 873 00:36:34,360 --> 00:36:36,920 Speaker 9: isn't like I don't know, since Mike McCarthy took over. 874 00:36:36,960 --> 00:36:40,239 Speaker 9: He's always had someone in that last game called, you know, 875 00:36:40,400 --> 00:36:43,040 Speaker 9: the offense outside of the offensive coordinator a lot of 876 00:36:43,040 --> 00:36:44,279 Speaker 9: times been the quarterback coach. 877 00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:49,400 Speaker 10: And I look at it as so Mike obviously was 878 00:36:49,480 --> 00:36:50,239 Speaker 10: on the headset too. 879 00:36:50,520 --> 00:36:53,040 Speaker 9: I think that you can gain things from that because 880 00:36:53,080 --> 00:36:55,200 Speaker 9: there had to be certain things that Dak was saying 881 00:36:55,239 --> 00:36:57,279 Speaker 9: that Mike was probably like, yeah, let's not do that 882 00:36:57,360 --> 00:37:00,360 Speaker 9: in a situation, or or oh this is what decks 883 00:37:00,400 --> 00:37:02,319 Speaker 9: thinking here. Okay, that's let me make a mental note 884 00:37:02,360 --> 00:37:04,080 Speaker 9: of that, that's what he thinks when this stuff's going on. 885 00:37:04,280 --> 00:37:06,840 Speaker 9: Like any of their reps, a gat, I'm more concerned 886 00:37:06,960 --> 00:37:10,280 Speaker 9: on the not getting the ones out on the field 887 00:37:10,840 --> 00:37:13,680 Speaker 9: for any preseason action, just for the early part of 888 00:37:13,719 --> 00:37:16,440 Speaker 9: the season, you know. And I get why they did it. 889 00:37:16,719 --> 00:37:18,080 Speaker 9: You know, they don't want to get anybody hurt. And 890 00:37:18,080 --> 00:37:20,680 Speaker 9: it also leaves some uncertainty for if you're the Giants, 891 00:37:20,719 --> 00:37:22,520 Speaker 9: what do we really expect from this offense? So I 892 00:37:22,600 --> 00:37:25,000 Speaker 9: get why they did all of that, but there is 893 00:37:25,120 --> 00:37:29,440 Speaker 9: a lot of questions about like how smooth is everything 894 00:37:29,520 --> 00:37:33,360 Speaker 9: going to be early on in this season Offensively, Fortunately 895 00:37:33,440 --> 00:37:37,320 Speaker 9: for them, even if things sputter a little bit, this 896 00:37:37,520 --> 00:37:39,600 Speaker 9: defense is so loaded that they're going to be in 897 00:37:39,680 --> 00:37:42,200 Speaker 9: every game even if even if the offense isn't clicking, 898 00:37:42,239 --> 00:37:44,440 Speaker 9: and if it is clicking, hey, great, then here you go. 899 00:37:44,880 --> 00:37:45,600 Speaker 10: You're off and running. 900 00:37:45,640 --> 00:37:47,480 Speaker 9: Now. I was watching the other day, I was watching 901 00:37:48,239 --> 00:37:52,120 Speaker 9: the QB documentary on Netflix, and in that first episode 902 00:37:52,200 --> 00:37:54,480 Speaker 9: they talk about Kirk Cousins taking over, you know, new 903 00:37:54,560 --> 00:37:56,560 Speaker 9: head coach, new system and everything like that. And in 904 00:37:56,640 --> 00:37:59,399 Speaker 9: that first game, like they were great, smooth, everything went great, 905 00:37:59,400 --> 00:38:01,080 Speaker 9: and they were just like, Oh, we got this, this 906 00:38:01,120 --> 00:38:03,040 Speaker 9: is no big deal at all. And then the second 907 00:38:03,080 --> 00:38:05,800 Speaker 9: game kind of got humbled against the Eagles, and you 908 00:38:05,880 --> 00:38:07,959 Speaker 9: know there's gonna be some ups and downs on the offense, 909 00:38:08,000 --> 00:38:09,560 Speaker 9: so you just have to kind of expect that. But 910 00:38:10,520 --> 00:38:13,040 Speaker 9: having everybody be healthy for week one, I totally get 911 00:38:13,080 --> 00:38:17,160 Speaker 9: that makes the most sense. But Mike's been doing the 912 00:38:17,160 --> 00:38:18,960 Speaker 9: play calling thing. To answer the question, he's been doing 913 00:38:18,960 --> 00:38:20,759 Speaker 9: it for a long time. He'll know where to go 914 00:38:21,200 --> 00:38:23,439 Speaker 9: on this whole thing. So I don't think that that's 915 00:38:23,600 --> 00:38:25,920 Speaker 9: of major concern. And I think that he probably did 916 00:38:26,320 --> 00:38:29,560 Speaker 9: probably gain some insights on some things with Dak off 917 00:38:29,600 --> 00:38:31,120 Speaker 9: of the way that Dak was calling certain things. 918 00:38:31,440 --> 00:38:34,200 Speaker 6: Yeah, absolutely, it just allows for more chemistry, and I 919 00:38:34,360 --> 00:38:37,160 Speaker 6: like what you said about they're able to see what 920 00:38:37,280 --> 00:38:39,799 Speaker 6: each other thinks in certain situations in certain moments, because 921 00:38:39,840 --> 00:38:42,759 Speaker 6: that'll just allow for more chemistry whenever those situations do 922 00:38:42,840 --> 00:38:45,080 Speaker 6: arise during the season. I have zero problem with Dak 923 00:38:45,120 --> 00:38:46,879 Speaker 6: calling the plays. It only allows for him to get 924 00:38:46,920 --> 00:38:49,879 Speaker 6: more comfortable in the offense. From an outside perspective, it's 925 00:38:49,960 --> 00:38:52,399 Speaker 6: the most invested he can be in the offense without 926 00:38:52,440 --> 00:38:54,680 Speaker 6: actually playing in it. And then for Mike McCarthy, it 927 00:38:54,719 --> 00:38:56,560 Speaker 6: allows for both of them to see how they think 928 00:38:56,600 --> 00:38:57,520 Speaker 6: in certain situations. 929 00:38:57,719 --> 00:38:58,760 Speaker 1: I completely agree. 930 00:38:58,800 --> 00:39:00,759 Speaker 2: I think if Dak's not gonna play in the preseason, 931 00:39:00,840 --> 00:39:03,080 Speaker 2: the best way for him to hear Mike McCarthy and 932 00:39:03,200 --> 00:39:05,359 Speaker 2: to see exactly what's going on in both of their 933 00:39:05,400 --> 00:39:07,440 Speaker 2: minds is to call the plays himself and kind of 934 00:39:07,480 --> 00:39:10,160 Speaker 2: have that open dialogue on the sideline. 935 00:39:10,360 --> 00:39:12,600 Speaker 1: Did you ever get the call plays at any point? 936 00:39:13,200 --> 00:39:16,040 Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean we did an off season for off 937 00:39:16,080 --> 00:39:18,279 Speaker 5: season stuff. I mean there's two minute situations. I was 938 00:39:18,280 --> 00:39:20,360 Speaker 5: able to go out there and call the plays for 939 00:39:20,480 --> 00:39:22,040 Speaker 5: the most part. You know, to play call what's your 940 00:39:22,080 --> 00:39:22,759 Speaker 5: favorite play call? 941 00:39:25,040 --> 00:39:26,440 Speaker 1: Do I need to give you some time? We can 942 00:39:26,560 --> 00:39:27,000 Speaker 1: go to our. 943 00:39:26,920 --> 00:39:29,480 Speaker 5: Second break and some of the things that you're seeing 944 00:39:29,920 --> 00:39:31,880 Speaker 5: in this offense. Now, I mean, this is pretty much 945 00:39:31,920 --> 00:39:34,319 Speaker 5: the office that I ran in college West Coast. That's 946 00:39:34,320 --> 00:39:37,120 Speaker 5: why I'm so familiar with it. This is running the ball. 947 00:39:37,200 --> 00:39:39,279 Speaker 5: I mean we ran zone read and things of that 948 00:39:39,440 --> 00:39:41,400 Speaker 5: nature to utilize some of the speed that we have 949 00:39:41,560 --> 00:39:43,560 Speaker 5: between myself and I'm a running back. But we did 950 00:39:43,600 --> 00:39:45,319 Speaker 5: a lot of naked a lot of bootlegs, a lot 951 00:39:45,360 --> 00:39:47,799 Speaker 5: of spread, try to put you in a situation where 952 00:39:47,840 --> 00:39:49,320 Speaker 5: you had to make a decision whether you wanted to 953 00:39:49,600 --> 00:39:51,400 Speaker 5: stick me or you wanted to stick my receivers. 954 00:39:51,480 --> 00:39:53,000 Speaker 1: So either way, just trying to screw you. 955 00:39:54,120 --> 00:39:56,239 Speaker 2: I've always found the play calling aspect of the game 956 00:39:56,440 --> 00:40:00,360 Speaker 2: super interesting. Like I'm just I'm always thinking of the 957 00:40:00,360 --> 00:40:02,640 Speaker 2: the way that they have it scripted initially and the 958 00:40:02,680 --> 00:40:05,000 Speaker 2: way that it changes is a game ebbs and flows, 959 00:40:05,040 --> 00:40:06,840 Speaker 2: and I just think it's super intriguing. 960 00:40:07,920 --> 00:40:08,120 Speaker 1: Match. 961 00:40:08,200 --> 00:40:10,360 Speaker 9: Oh, I think it's wild and just the if you 962 00:40:10,520 --> 00:40:13,480 Speaker 9: called one play and that's the play you ran now 963 00:40:13,560 --> 00:40:15,880 Speaker 9: you're talking about. Now you call it in and then 964 00:40:15,920 --> 00:40:18,560 Speaker 9: now the quarterback sees something to check out me. Now yeah, 965 00:40:18,600 --> 00:40:20,680 Speaker 9: then he has to check kill something off. Like all 966 00:40:20,760 --> 00:40:22,800 Speaker 9: of that stuff all going on. Keep in mind, this 967 00:40:22,960 --> 00:40:25,279 Speaker 9: is not like in the Ford Center. This is an 968 00:40:25,360 --> 00:40:27,680 Speaker 9: AT and T stadium, this is at MetLife, this is 969 00:40:27,840 --> 00:40:31,600 Speaker 9: ninety financial Like it's and and and then, and there's 970 00:40:31,640 --> 00:40:33,800 Speaker 9: just so many people that have to be on the 971 00:40:33,840 --> 00:40:36,200 Speaker 9: same page, and they're not all right by you, you know, 972 00:40:36,239 --> 00:40:38,600 Speaker 9: when you're checking and making the different Like all it 973 00:40:38,640 --> 00:40:40,239 Speaker 9: takes is like one thing for you to be off. 974 00:40:40,320 --> 00:40:42,800 Speaker 9: The receiver runs around white boom pick six, done fast, 975 00:40:42,880 --> 00:40:43,560 Speaker 9: you know, like it's. 976 00:40:43,920 --> 00:40:45,279 Speaker 10: Like the littlest thing like that. 977 00:40:45,400 --> 00:40:48,360 Speaker 5: There's so much non verbal communication it takes place, and 978 00:40:48,480 --> 00:40:49,040 Speaker 5: I love it. 979 00:40:49,480 --> 00:40:52,560 Speaker 1: I absolutely love it.

I'm so analytical. 982 00:40:56,640 --> 00:40:58,560 Speaker 5: And Kyle probably hates it because we sit in the 983 00:40:58,600 --> 00:41:01,040 Speaker 5: studio and I point I'm pointing out everything. 984 00:41:01,640 --> 00:41:03,920 Speaker 2: See it's funny because it is good give and take. 985 00:41:04,000 --> 00:41:06,600 Speaker 2: You point out everything that's happening in the football game, correct, 986 00:41:06,719 --> 00:41:08,239 Speaker 2: And then I'm the one that's sitting there and I'm 987 00:41:08,280 --> 00:41:09,560 Speaker 2: over analytical about everything. 988 00:41:09,600 --> 00:41:12,480 Speaker 1: But on the broadcast, yeah, everything that happens on the broadcast. 989 00:41:12,600 --> 00:41:14,920 Speaker 2: Nick hates it too, because we'll be watching college football 990 00:41:14,920 --> 00:41:17,520 Speaker 2: and he's like, Kyle, shut up, Kyle stopped talking about 991 00:41:17,640 --> 00:41:18,040 Speaker 2: But well. 992 00:41:17,920 --> 00:41:19,120 Speaker 10: You know what's kind of tough about that though. 993 00:41:19,160 --> 00:41:21,680 Speaker 9: I feel like for somebody that has your mind for 994 00:41:21,800 --> 00:41:24,520 Speaker 9: that is that it's got to be tough watching like 995 00:41:24,640 --> 00:41:27,479 Speaker 9: TV copy because I can't see everything. Like for NBA, 996 00:41:28,400 --> 00:41:30,440 Speaker 9: you see everything that's going on, all ten guys are 997 00:41:30,480 --> 00:41:34,120 Speaker 9: on the field together, and it's just with like football, 998 00:41:34,320 --> 00:41:36,200 Speaker 9: I'm always constantly thinking of, like what will be the 999 00:41:36,239 --> 00:41:40,399 Speaker 9: future of football because nobody it's like just the way 1000 00:41:40,440 --> 00:41:41,120 Speaker 9: everyone involves. 1001 00:41:41,160 --> 00:41:42,840 Speaker 10: No one's ever gonna be like no, no, no, we 1002 00:41:42,920 --> 00:41:44,240 Speaker 10: got enough, we don't need anymore. 1003 00:41:44,320 --> 00:41:44,360 Speaker 1: No. 1004 00:41:44,480 --> 00:41:46,560 Speaker 10: Everything has to continue to evolve, and the more people know, 1005 00:41:47,120 --> 00:41:48,480 Speaker 10: the more that people are gonna want to see it. 1006 00:41:48,480 --> 00:41:49,880 Speaker 9: I don't know how you do that on TV if 1007 00:41:49,880 --> 00:41:51,960 Speaker 9: you have like a you know, an end zone cam 1008 00:41:52,040 --> 00:41:53,680 Speaker 9: in the corner or something like that, but there's just 1009 00:41:53,800 --> 00:41:56,680 Speaker 9: so much more that you know that it's you know, 1010 00:41:56,760 --> 00:41:58,440 Speaker 9: we can see when you go back to all twenty two, 1011 00:41:58,560 --> 00:42:00,200 Speaker 9: like after the game and stuff like that, but when 1012 00:42:00,200 --> 00:42:03,560 Speaker 9: it's actually going on, it's so difficult to see all 1013 00:42:03,880 --> 00:42:04,680 Speaker 9: the different aspects. 1014 00:42:04,719 --> 00:42:06,640 Speaker 5: And that's the reason why I love doing the color 1015 00:42:06,640 --> 00:42:08,920 Speaker 5: commentary because I'm able to inform it. That's like some 1016 00:42:09,000 --> 00:42:11,480 Speaker 5: of the greatest feedback that I received from those preseason 1017 00:42:11,560 --> 00:42:15,320 Speaker 5: games that we do is informing the general public of 1018 00:42:15,400 --> 00:42:18,319 Speaker 5: the information that I have and relaying it to them 1019 00:42:18,400 --> 00:42:20,560 Speaker 5: so that they can feel more engaged. Right, so that 1020 00:42:20,680 --> 00:42:22,919 Speaker 5: now when they're watching it, they're more informed.

So 1149 00:47:53,120 --> 00:47:55,160 Speaker 2: kind of in the same along the same lines, what 1150 00:47:55,239 --> 00:47:57,360 Speaker 2: would be a good season for Deuce, I. 1151 00:47:57,360 --> 00:47:59,120 Speaker 5: Don't know what a good season. It depends on what 1152 00:47:59,239 --> 00:48:01,279 Speaker 5: the demand is. Mean, But like, my question is what 1153 00:48:01,400 --> 00:48:05,520 Speaker 5: can Douce not do? Everybody wants to wants to hate 1154 00:48:05,560 --> 00:48:06,000 Speaker 5: on his size. 1155 00:48:06,080 --> 00:48:07,480 Speaker 1: What can he not do? What do you what is 1156 00:48:07,640 --> 00:48:09,919 Speaker 1: the what can do do that that you expect another 1157 00:48:09,960 --> 00:48:12,520 Speaker 1: running back to be able to do? Past past protect? 1158 00:48:12,560 --> 00:48:15,000 Speaker 7: I mean, but he's he he plays above his size 1159 00:48:15,040 --> 00:48:15,640 Speaker 7: in that area, don't. 1160 00:48:15,680 --> 00:48:18,279 Speaker 5: Yeah, absolutely, He's willing to make who's on this roster 1161 00:48:18,400 --> 00:48:20,919 Speaker 5: right now that you feel like can past protect like Zeke, 1162 00:48:21,080 --> 00:48:22,200 Speaker 5: I could be nobody. 1163 00:48:22,440 --> 00:48:23,960 Speaker 7: So what I'm saying so like at that point, Like, 1164 00:48:24,840 --> 00:48:26,680 Speaker 7: but I think Rico Daubdle's a better past protector. 1165 00:48:27,120 --> 00:48:27,680 Speaker 1: I agree. 1166 00:48:27,840 --> 00:48:29,040 Speaker 9: I don't know that I would love him in the 1167 00:48:29,080 --> 00:48:31,440 Speaker 9: situation of, you know, it's fourth and goal on the 1168 00:48:31,520 --> 00:48:32,560 Speaker 9: one and everybody's in. 1169 00:48:33,320 --> 00:48:33,960 Speaker 1: See. I love that. 1170 00:48:34,160 --> 00:48:37,200 Speaker 5: Yeah, I love that because the typical ideology on the 1171 00:48:37,239 --> 00:48:39,680 Speaker 5: goal line is to have a big, you know, brawlick back. 1172 00:48:39,719 --> 00:48:41,440 Speaker 5: You know Brandon Jacobs when I when I was in 1173 00:48:41,480 --> 00:48:43,839 Speaker 5: New York, right, big Brandon Jacobs six four, two seventy five. 1174 00:48:44,280 --> 00:48:46,600 Speaker 5: That's awesome, Okay, but the reality is those guys are 1175 00:48:46,640 --> 00:48:48,160 Speaker 5: like juggernats. They take a minute to get going. 1176 00:48:48,520 --> 00:48:48,640 Speaker 11: Right. 1177 00:48:48,680 --> 00:48:50,400 Speaker 1: What happens when you have a guy who that you 1178 00:48:50,520 --> 00:48:52,480 Speaker 1: can't see, Yeah, you can't see him. 1179 00:48:52,800 --> 00:48:54,520 Speaker 5: And it's not like he's not strong. The boy probably 1180 00:48:54,560 --> 00:48:56,279 Speaker 5: squats five hundred. Yeah, you know what I'm saying, So 1181 00:48:56,400 --> 00:48:58,759 Speaker 5: that you have low center gravity, you have agility, you 1182 00:48:58,840 --> 00:48:59,280 Speaker 5: have power. 1183 00:48:59,360 --> 00:49:00,000 Speaker 1: You can't see him. 1184 00:49:00,200 --> 00:49:01,200 Speaker 7: It's like a bowling ball. 1185 00:49:01,840 --> 00:49:04,200 Speaker 5: It's a perfect scenario for goal line. Yeah, you're not 1186 00:49:04,560 --> 00:49:06,520 Speaker 5: was the last time you see somebody drag somebody across 1187 00:49:06,520 --> 00:49:07,000 Speaker 5: the goal line? 1188 00:49:07,440 --> 00:49:10,480 Speaker 1: Yeah? So what I'm saying people's ideologies are just is 1189 00:49:11,160 --> 00:49:11,920 Speaker 1: not realistic. 1190 00:49:12,239 --> 00:49:12,640 Speaker 12: It's not rid. 1191 00:49:12,719 --> 00:49:14,440 Speaker 5: Nobody's getting hit at the five yard line or a 1192 00:49:14,480 --> 00:49:17,000 Speaker 5: three yard line and they're dragging somebody. Oh yeah, I'm 1193 00:49:17,000 --> 00:49:18,520 Speaker 5: gonna drive you across a goal line touchdown. 1194 00:49:18,520 --> 00:49:19,600 Speaker 10: It doesn't happen all that times. 1195 00:49:19,640 --> 00:49:20,880 Speaker 9: What you do is you get your quarterback and you 1196 00:49:20,960 --> 00:49:24,120 Speaker 9: get two guys on the side and push exactly. The 1197 00:49:24,239 --> 00:49:27,080 Speaker 9: one thing I was gonna say is that it's running 1198 00:49:27,080 --> 00:49:28,719 Speaker 9: back is complete opposite of what we talked about earlier. 1199 00:49:28,719 --> 00:49:30,640 Speaker 9: With the offensive line. You'll be able to get somebody, 1200 00:49:30,719 --> 00:49:33,000 Speaker 9: yeah I mean there, or you don't sit here. You 1201 00:49:33,040 --> 00:49:35,360 Speaker 9: can't sit here and talk about how devalued the position is, 1202 00:49:35,480 --> 00:49:37,600 Speaker 9: and talk about then how it's so tough to find 1203 00:49:37,640 --> 00:49:39,440 Speaker 9: one that those don't work together. You'll be able to 1204 00:49:39,440 --> 00:49:41,560 Speaker 9: get somebody, like I said, like Leonard Fournatt. I know 1205 00:49:41,680 --> 00:49:43,279 Speaker 9: he's not the answer, and all be all, he's still 1206 00:49:43,280 --> 00:49:44,960 Speaker 9: not on a roster right now. He's clearly good enough 1207 00:49:44,960 --> 00:49:46,840 Speaker 9: to be playing in the NFL right now. There's and 1208 00:49:46,960 --> 00:49:48,839 Speaker 9: and and I'm not even talking just on their team. 1209 00:49:49,160 --> 00:49:50,800 Speaker 9: They could make a move. It came to something like 1210 00:49:50,880 --> 00:49:52,399 Speaker 9: that where it was like powers up for the season, 1211 00:49:52,440 --> 00:49:53,719 Speaker 9: that you can make a move for a running back 1212 00:49:53,760 --> 00:49:55,719 Speaker 9: that is one position that you're easy to Yeah, you 1213 00:49:55,760 --> 00:49:56,400 Speaker 9: can find somebody. 1214 00:49:56,480 --> 00:49:58,719 Speaker 7: Okay, if it's a situation where Pollard only goes down 1215 00:49:58,760 --> 00:49:59,160 Speaker 7: for a com. 1216 00:49:59,120 --> 00:50:00,280 Speaker 10: And that player won't be Tony Hollered. 1217 00:50:00,320 --> 00:50:02,640 Speaker 9: By the way, I'm not saying that that next player 1218 00:50:02,719 --> 00:50:04,839 Speaker 9: up that you would get would be Collard's level. 1219 00:50:04,880 --> 00:50:07,120 Speaker 1: I'm not saying this franchise tagged him for a reason. 1220 00:50:07,160 --> 00:50:08,360 Speaker 10: Oh yeah, yeah, I'm not saying that. But I'm just 1221 00:50:08,360 --> 00:50:09,960 Speaker 10: saying you'd be able to get someone that could at 1222 00:50:10,040 --> 00:50:10,800 Speaker 10: least be adequate. 1223 00:50:11,320 --> 00:50:13,080 Speaker 6: If Pollard went down for a couple of weeks and 1224 00:50:13,480 --> 00:50:17,279 Speaker 6: it's kind of during Ronald Jones suspension. I would feel 1225 00:50:17,280 --> 00:50:19,239 Speaker 6: good about Rico stepping in and at least playing a 1226 00:50:19,239 --> 00:50:22,000 Speaker 6: couple of games. Not the long term solution by any means, 1227 00:50:22,040 --> 00:50:23,600 Speaker 6: but I think he would be ready for that role. 1228 00:50:23,680 --> 00:50:25,359 Speaker 10: Yeah, the health has been the only thing with Rico. 1229 00:50:25,520 --> 00:50:27,200 Speaker 7: It has, for real, it really has. 1230 00:50:27,440 --> 00:50:30,520 Speaker 1: He's well rounded as a pass blocker. He can pass catch. 1231 00:50:30,680 --> 00:50:33,160 Speaker 16: I mean, he can do a significant amount of stuff. 1232 00:50:33,160 --> 00:50:35,720 Speaker 16: I really loved his pass protect and in the preseason 1233 00:50:36,239 --> 00:50:37,560 Speaker 16: gets a lot of fun. But I actually talked to 1234 00:50:37,640 --> 00:50:40,400 Speaker 16: him yesterday and he was he's really excited about this opportunity. 1235 00:50:40,560 --> 00:50:42,440 Speaker 16: He's been saying all preseason that this is the biggest 1236 00:50:42,480 --> 00:50:44,759 Speaker 16: opportunity he's had since he's been here. And now he's 1237 00:50:44,800 --> 00:50:46,560 Speaker 16: one RB two and he's still saying the same thing. 1238 00:50:46,680 --> 00:50:48,239 Speaker 9: So, and he was always one of those guys that, 1239 00:50:48,440 --> 00:50:50,919 Speaker 9: like when you would talk to Tony or Zeke, because 1240 00:50:50,960 --> 00:50:53,360 Speaker 9: Rico would work out with him, sometimes they would always 1241 00:50:53,440 --> 00:50:56,080 Speaker 9: mention his name. He wouldn't be asking about him, but 1242 00:50:56,200 --> 00:50:57,600 Speaker 9: like they would bring him up, like, no, you know 1243 00:50:57,719 --> 00:50:59,520 Speaker 9: Rico too, you know if he you know, as long 1244 00:50:59,520 --> 00:51:01,319 Speaker 9: as he's health and stuff like that, And so it'd 1245 00:51:01,360 --> 00:51:03,120 Speaker 9: be that was. That's the stuff that I always find 1246 00:51:03,160 --> 00:51:06,000 Speaker 9: interesting because obviously, when you asks, like a player a question, 1247 00:51:06,480 --> 00:51:07,840 Speaker 9: you know, there's always a part of you like are 1248 00:51:07,880 --> 00:51:09,920 Speaker 9: they just saying this metia wize whatever like that just 1249 00:51:10,000 --> 00:51:12,000 Speaker 9: to give you the right answer. But it's always when 1250 00:51:12,040 --> 00:51:14,040 Speaker 9: someone offers up something, we're like, well he really didn't 1251 00:51:14,040 --> 00:51:15,600 Speaker 9: ask about that's kind of interesting, Like do you kind 1252 00:51:15,600 --> 00:51:16,799 Speaker 9: of just keep it in the back of your mind, 1253 00:51:16,880 --> 00:51:18,520 Speaker 9: like all that you know that they're kind of mentioned 1254 00:51:18,520 --> 00:51:20,080 Speaker 9: in this thing, Like maybe that's something to keep you know. 1255 00:51:20,400 --> 00:51:21,840 Speaker 10: So I think if Rico stays healthy, I think he 1256 00:51:21,920 --> 00:51:22,799 Speaker 10: can do the job for sure. 1257 00:51:22,960 --> 00:51:24,960 Speaker 2: I'm excited to see how this running back room works out. 1258 00:51:25,000 --> 00:51:28,040 Speaker 2: And our statistician extraordinary Chris Beam in the back says 1259 00:51:28,080 --> 00:51:31,440 Speaker 2: that Darren Sproles had eight carries for fifty yards as 1260 00:51:31,440 --> 00:51:35,200 Speaker 2: a rookie over under for Dukes real quick go for 1261 00:51:35,280 --> 00:51:35,680 Speaker 2: the season. 1262 00:51:35,760 --> 00:51:37,640 Speaker 7: For the season, his rookie season's going to get more 1263 00:51:37,680 --> 00:51:38,720 Speaker 7: than eight carries over. 1264 00:51:38,760 --> 00:51:40,319 Speaker 10: He might get he might get eight in the first game. 1265 00:51:40,400 --> 00:51:43,719 Speaker 2: So over over, I am over over as well.
