WEBVTT - Cowboys Break: Who’s Playing? 0:00:04.160 --> 0:00:06.680 The following. He's a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com 0:00:06.720 --> 0:00:18.840 and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club. Are you ready for 0:00:18.880 --> 0:00:22.599 a break? Yes? Are you ready for a break? Absolutely? 0:00:22.720 --> 0:00:26.880 Ready for a break. Yeah, And so much for that. 0:00:27.120 --> 0:00:32.280 It's time for the Break on Dallas Cowboys dot Com 0:00:33.080 --> 0:00:38.599 with Nick Eatman, David Hellman, and bar Garcia and Derek Eagleton. 0:00:39.320 --> 0:00:42.800 Good morning, guys or lunchtime. Why are you shaking your 0:00:42.840 --> 0:00:46.080 head already? Nick? Seriously, if you don't like it, you 0:00:46.159 --> 0:00:49.199 can get up and walk away, very simple. All right there. 0:00:49.440 --> 0:00:52.480 I mean, no one's forced to be here, you know, yeah, 0:00:52.520 --> 0:00:54.880 I know, it's just shaking his head. As soon as 0:00:54.880 --> 0:00:58.400 he started speaking, he started shaking. He says, But all right, well, 0:00:58.440 --> 0:01:01.440 today is a traveled for the Cowboys. We are all 0:01:01.480 --> 0:01:04.959 headed to San Francisco for the first preseason game, which 0:01:05.040 --> 0:01:08.240 is tomorrow. But in the meantime, I think we're we 0:01:08.319 --> 0:01:13.280 have some things to discuss prior to I mean, it's 0:01:13.319 --> 0:01:15.840 not a I wish we didn't have this show today, 0:01:15.880 --> 0:01:19.920 but we do. Honestly, what a great way to get 0:01:19.920 --> 0:01:22.840 people hyped up to listen to today's podcast. All right, well, 0:01:22.920 --> 0:01:25.680 let's start off with the news. Robert Quinn he fractured 0:01:25.760 --> 0:01:29.480 his hand earlier this week, we thought, oh well, let's 0:01:29.480 --> 0:01:33.039 see how long he's out. The what they said, the 0:01:33.120 --> 0:01:35.360 doctors and all that said he should be ready to 0:01:35.400 --> 0:01:39.399 go for Week one. Then yesterday the news comes out 0:01:39.480 --> 0:01:43.080 that the NFL has suspended Robert Quinn for two games, 0:01:43.680 --> 0:01:48.320 and that came as a surprise for some of us. 0:01:48.360 --> 0:01:51.720 Some other people maybe have started hearing about that for 0:01:51.760 --> 0:01:55.200 a while, But just wanted to get your thoughts on 0:01:55.480 --> 0:01:58.040 what this means for the Cowboys and what they're trying 0:01:58.080 --> 0:02:00.840 to do at defensive end. All. See, we still have 0:02:00.880 --> 0:02:04.640 DeMarcus Lawrence recovering from the surgery, you got Tyrone Crawford 0:02:04.640 --> 0:02:09.840 from the hip injury. Then you have m. Randy Gregory. 0:02:10.080 --> 0:02:12.520 That's another one, Randy Gregory, who you still don't know 0:02:12.560 --> 0:02:17.720 what's happening with him. He's suspended indefinitely. So what's going 0:02:17.760 --> 0:02:20.960 on here with this position? And what do you think 0:02:21.240 --> 0:02:24.120 this change? How does this change the game for the Cowboys? 0:02:24.800 --> 0:02:27.960 Of the ten, eleven, twelve, whatever the number is Pro 0:02:28.000 --> 0:02:31.480 bowlers on this roster, how many how many of them 0:02:31.480 --> 0:02:33.639 do you feel great about for Week one? Right now? 0:02:33.720 --> 0:02:37.040 That was my question yesterday yesterday's show, Right and it 0:02:37.080 --> 0:02:39.600 seemed like across the table, everybody is kind of like, yeah, 0:02:39.639 --> 0:02:43.840 I'm good. Well, but real quick, I feel the same way. Yeah, 0:02:43.919 --> 0:02:46.080 I really do, like I feel fine, But it is 0:02:46.280 --> 0:02:50.160 it is funny that what Travis Frederick kind of a 0:02:50.240 --> 0:02:54.080 question mark Zach Martin dealing with the back, DeMarcus Lawrence 0:02:54.120 --> 0:02:57.320 hasn't practiced, Byron Jones hasn't practiced, Robert Quinn has now suspended. 0:02:57.440 --> 0:02:59.480 So yeah, I get it. Running back isn't here. The 0:02:59.600 --> 0:03:02.240 running back it's not here. While yeah, the receiver's not practicing. 0:03:02.960 --> 0:03:04.920 There's there's a lot. But my point is, my point 0:03:04.960 --> 0:03:07.240 is that there is a lot of just not being here. 0:03:07.240 --> 0:03:10.240 And I'm I get your point, Dave, that you think 0:03:10.480 --> 0:03:13.320 most of these guys will will still be there once 0:03:13.360 --> 0:03:16.480 the games actually start. I'm just a believer in. I 0:03:16.560 --> 0:03:18.639 do think whether you play him in the preseason or not, 0:03:19.040 --> 0:03:21.960 I do think there's a reason why you do these practices. 0:03:22.240 --> 0:03:25.120 You start building the chemistry, you start building the because 0:03:25.120 --> 0:03:27.200 I mean, this is a new offensive coordinator. He's trying 0:03:27.240 --> 0:03:29.040 to figure out how he's gonna call this thing and 0:03:29.080 --> 0:03:31.480 what things work and what things don't. And you take 0:03:31.480 --> 0:03:33.280 a guy out and put another guy in and it 0:03:33.360 --> 0:03:36.600 changes sometimes the dynamic of how something works. And so 0:03:36.680 --> 0:03:39.160 I just look at all that and I think that 0:03:39.200 --> 0:03:40.880 this is going to be one of those years where 0:03:41.440 --> 0:03:43.640 the Cowboys and you've seen this, You've probably seen this 0:03:43.720 --> 0:03:46.480 before with individual players or with a team, but things 0:03:46.560 --> 0:03:50.000 don't really start clicking until week three or four. You'll 0:03:50.040 --> 0:03:52.200 see that a lot of times with veteran teams because 0:03:52.600 --> 0:03:54.800 a lot of them don't do a lot during the preseason, 0:03:55.040 --> 0:03:57.000 and so the first couple of weeks it doesn't seem 0:03:57.000 --> 0:03:59.680 like it's really flowing, it doesn't seem like it's really clicking. 0:04:00.640 --> 0:04:02.480 I think the Cowboys might be in for a little 0:04:02.480 --> 0:04:04.680 bit of that. Good thing for them. They're playing a 0:04:04.680 --> 0:04:06.160 couple of teams at the beginning of the season that 0:04:06.200 --> 0:04:07.600 are not as tough as some of the teams are 0:04:07.600 --> 0:04:09.920 going to play a little later, at least on paper, 0:04:10.000 --> 0:04:12.200 as far as what we've what we think of those teams, 0:04:12.800 --> 0:04:15.040 and so maybe the Cowboys can withstand it. But I don't. 0:04:15.120 --> 0:04:17.040 I don't. I don't like the fact that these guys 0:04:17.080 --> 0:04:19.160 are all missing right now because I think it's important. 0:04:19.279 --> 0:04:21.719 I just think the vast majority of these dominoes will 0:04:21.720 --> 0:04:25.760 fall into place before September eighth. Obviously Quinn will not. 0:04:26.000 --> 0:04:29.760 Can we know he's out for two games? Question mark 0:04:29.800 --> 0:04:34.240 on Tyrone? Yeah yeah, And but the vast majority of 0:04:34.279 --> 0:04:37.320 these big name players I think will be where they're 0:04:37.360 --> 0:04:40.000 supposed to be, which is the field for the Giants game. 0:04:40.040 --> 0:04:42.480 So I'm still not that worried about it. I don't 0:04:42.480 --> 0:04:48.000 think the Quinn situation. You know, he hasn't looked that 0:04:48.200 --> 0:04:51.320 great out here. I mean, it's early, he's a veteran, 0:04:51.400 --> 0:04:53.240 He's going up against Tyron Smith. It's kind of hard 0:04:53.279 --> 0:04:55.720 to look great. But I do think that they were 0:04:55.760 --> 0:04:58.839 counting on him to be a guy that could, you know, 0:04:58.920 --> 0:05:02.720 provide some stabil in an experience to that position, even 0:05:02.760 --> 0:05:05.240 on the opposite side of of d Law. So, but 0:05:05.279 --> 0:05:07.400 there's nothing that they haven't done before. I mean, this 0:05:07.440 --> 0:05:10.839 team has got plenty of defensive guys that gets suspended 0:05:10.920 --> 0:05:16.640 for the first couple of games seventeen since seventeens, that 0:05:16.720 --> 0:05:21.040 includes multi multiple offenders and all that stuff. But since 0:05:21.120 --> 0:05:27.440 win what year fourteen? Rolando multiple times, nine, Randy multiple times, 0:05:27.839 --> 0:05:36.719 Scandric Irving multiple times, Marcus DeMarcus, gregor um Hardy, did 0:05:36.760 --> 0:05:39.760 Henry Melton have one too? I don't. It's there's a lot. 0:05:40.040 --> 0:05:41.680 I don't know. I don't think Henry Melton did, but 0:05:42.400 --> 0:05:48.279 it's a lot. It's too many. But that's just the defense. Well, 0:05:48.400 --> 0:05:52.760 Robert Quinn's situation, it's kind of interesting because once you 0:05:52.839 --> 0:05:57.920 see what his agent put out as an estatement of 0:05:58.040 --> 0:06:01.679 what happened, it was about to medication that he takes 0:06:01.760 --> 0:06:06.599 for seizures, and something happened in the pharmacy. There was 0:06:06.640 --> 0:06:10.800 some kind of cross contamination from another medication and there 0:06:10.920 --> 0:06:12.640 was a percentage of it that got in there that 0:06:12.680 --> 0:06:16.760 popped up that is used to cover up of substance 0:06:17.400 --> 0:06:21.360 enhance him and abuse or whatever it's called. And there's 0:06:21.400 --> 0:06:25.600 a battle there of how things went down. And then 0:06:25.760 --> 0:06:30.080 saying that the NFL has said they believed he was innocent. Yeah, 0:06:30.120 --> 0:06:33.680 they still suspended him two times. Now. I've seen a 0:06:33.680 --> 0:06:37.799 lot of people asking on Twitter about this and asking 0:06:37.839 --> 0:06:41.320 if he is innocent, why doesn't he challenge it and 0:06:41.520 --> 0:06:44.800 try to five for maybe just one game suspension or 0:06:44.839 --> 0:06:47.560 no games at all. Do you guys know how this 0:06:47.680 --> 0:06:51.000 possibly can work or what happened. Has challenged it, He 0:06:51.080 --> 0:06:53.520 has appealed it. This was in April. He's appealed that 0:06:53.680 --> 0:06:55.880 usually it's a four game. I think they've reduced it 0:06:55.960 --> 0:06:58.920 already to a two games, so this is kind of 0:06:59.000 --> 0:07:02.000 it's unprecedented really that it's a two game suspension, so 0:07:03.160 --> 0:07:05.279 which when we heard about it, that was our first thought. Yeah, 0:07:05.800 --> 0:07:08.080 mainly it can't be for PDS because that's always four 0:07:08.120 --> 0:07:09.840 and then he got two. So that tells you they 0:07:09.880 --> 0:07:12.600 already reduced what they normally don't reduce. Similar to the 0:07:12.640 --> 0:07:15.800 Scandrick thing, I think yeah, because and we talked about that, 0:07:16.040 --> 0:07:18.800 it was you know, they changed the policy not to 0:07:18.880 --> 0:07:22.160 include his you know what was in his test, and 0:07:22.200 --> 0:07:24.560 he got it reduced. That's the thing. They do a 0:07:24.600 --> 0:07:27.240 great job of keeping this stuff under wraps because you know, 0:07:27.320 --> 0:07:29.560 we just heard about it yesterday. Pretty much everybody just 0:07:29.600 --> 0:07:33.080 heard about it yesterday except for Robert Quinn and his people. 0:07:33.080 --> 0:07:34.760 They've been going back and forth with the league about 0:07:34.760 --> 0:07:37.559 this since April. They took the time his legal team, 0:07:37.640 --> 0:07:41.560 like you know, subpoenat or whatever the records for this 0:07:41.600 --> 0:07:44.160 pharmacy to look at this stuff, so that gives you 0:07:44.240 --> 0:07:46.120 an idea of how long they've been doing this. So 0:07:46.560 --> 0:07:50.120 I think it's pretty set it too. Can have a 0:07:50.160 --> 0:07:53.800 long conversation about the league's policies and their standard of 0:07:53.840 --> 0:07:57.680 doing businesses and how inconsistent it is. It's not going 0:07:57.720 --> 0:07:59.720 to change a whole lot between now and when Robert 0:07:59.800 --> 0:08:02.920 Quinn has to serve his suspension. Unfortunately. All right, well, 0:08:03.000 --> 0:08:06.320 let's move on and start talking about tomorrow's game, which 0:08:06.360 --> 0:08:09.200 people are excited. One of the main questions that come 0:08:09.240 --> 0:08:12.440 to us when we start having preseason games is what 0:08:12.720 --> 0:08:15.560 kind of starters are you gonna be playing? So who 0:08:15.760 --> 0:08:18.240 do you expect to see playing in this game? As 0:08:18.280 --> 0:08:22.200 far as the starter if you are healthy, I think 0:08:22.240 --> 0:08:25.840 you'll see just about everybody, not for a long time, 0:08:25.960 --> 0:08:29.040 probably a series or you know, a set number of plays, 0:08:29.040 --> 0:08:32.400 eight to ten plays. But you know, we get to 0:08:32.400 --> 0:08:35.280 watch the walkthroughs. We're privileged in that regard. And it 0:08:35.360 --> 0:08:37.120 sure looked like a lot of starters were getting some 0:08:37.240 --> 0:08:39.160 last minute work last night when they came out here. 0:08:39.240 --> 0:08:42.640 So that seems to be Jerry's dak. I don't think 0:08:42.679 --> 0:08:44.840 we won't see Zach Martin. We won't see Amari Cooper. 0:08:44.840 --> 0:08:46.679 I don't even know if they're gonna go to Santa Clara. 0:08:46.840 --> 0:08:50.280 I'm Amari Cooper's definitely not who you're five linemen to 0:08:50.360 --> 0:08:54.400 start the game, Tyron Smith, Connor Williams, Travis Frederick, Xavier Suaphilo, 0:08:54.480 --> 0:08:57.960 and Lyle Collins. I think the whole starting offense minus 0:08:58.200 --> 0:09:01.880 Amari Zach and shocked well Zeek obviously, and then m 0:09:02.000 --> 0:09:04.320 and then Witten. I don't think Witten's gonna play. I'll 0:09:04.360 --> 0:09:07.640 be shocked if Travis Frederick plays. Yeah, Okay, I mean, 0:09:07.720 --> 0:09:09.720 do you think you'll play faced off? I think the 0:09:09.800 --> 0:09:12.760 starters will get eight to ten snaps. I'd be great. 0:09:12.320 --> 0:09:15.199 I just would be surprised that they I mean, he 0:09:15.280 --> 0:09:18.280 just did one on one the other day for like 0:09:18.280 --> 0:09:20.440 like this week. I believe for the first time Travis 0:09:20.440 --> 0:09:22.800 Frederick himself is the one that said one on one 0:09:22.920 --> 0:09:25.480 is stupid and doesn't really apply to centers though, like 0:09:25.559 --> 0:09:27.800 he was like, I hate that drill. I don't encounter 0:09:27.840 --> 0:09:30.920 those situations in football ever, so I don't like doing it. 0:09:31.000 --> 0:09:34.480 So the center's usually double in on somebody. It's rare 0:09:34.480 --> 0:09:36.959 that he's got just a guy that's kind of isolating 0:09:37.040 --> 0:09:40.079 him in space. So I think, I I mean, I'll 0:09:40.160 --> 0:09:41.880 we're gonna sit next to each other. I'll own up 0:09:41.880 --> 0:09:43.240 to it if I'm wrong. But I think the vast 0:09:43.280 --> 0:09:45.839 majority of the starting offense is now serious. I think 0:09:45.840 --> 0:09:47.680 that'd be great. I just would just the way they've 0:09:47.720 --> 0:09:50.719 handled the Frederick thing, it would it would surprise me 0:09:50.760 --> 0:09:52.760 if he if he was out there, But I guess 0:09:52.800 --> 0:09:55.040 we'll find out. It won't find out right here. It 0:09:55.080 --> 0:09:57.360 won't be a lot that would be my guests, but 0:09:58.160 --> 0:10:00.200 baby steps. The point is you just get to see 0:10:00.320 --> 0:10:02.520 some of these guys just get It's it's more of 0:10:02.679 --> 0:10:04.920 just them getting a taste a little bit. You're not 0:10:05.160 --> 0:10:07.640 you're there at least as the Cowboys will get it. 0:10:07.679 --> 0:10:09.440 They're evaluating those guys that are gonna be coming in 0:10:09.480 --> 0:10:11.480 after them, like they know what these guys are. They're 0:10:11.480 --> 0:10:12.839 just giving them a little taste to kind of get 0:10:12.880 --> 0:10:14.880 him in the flow a little bit. It's not it's 0:10:14.880 --> 0:10:17.800 not gonna be much and the first preseason game, so 0:10:18.120 --> 0:10:19.960 I hope Travis does get some time. I think it's 0:10:20.000 --> 0:10:22.360 important for him to do that, and it's probably important 0:10:22.360 --> 0:10:23.960 for them to see some tape of him doing the 0:10:24.000 --> 0:10:27.000 real thing. And you know, they said before practices even 0:10:27.040 --> 0:10:29.240 started that he had the full go. They didn't need 0:10:29.320 --> 0:10:31.480 to be cautious with him. Obviously you want to be 0:10:31.520 --> 0:10:33.480 if you need to be, but things you got two 0:10:33.559 --> 0:10:35.960 more preseason games where those vets will play, and they'll 0:10:35.960 --> 0:10:38.800 play substantially in the third game. So this game, again, 0:10:38.840 --> 0:10:40.480 just give him a little taste. I want to see 0:10:40.480 --> 0:10:42.720 if he can handle a possession before I worry about 0:10:42.760 --> 0:10:45.400 making him play staff. Yeah. Right, the earlier you can 0:10:45.440 --> 0:10:48.160 find out, I guess, the better, you know, I think. So, yeah, 0:10:48.200 --> 0:10:50.760 that's good. Then, So okay, let's go around the table 0:10:50.760 --> 0:10:53.079 and tell me who would be a guy that you 0:10:53.640 --> 0:10:57.240 are wanting to keep your eye on on tomorrow's game. 0:10:57.320 --> 0:11:01.640 Nick Um, I'll say Jalen Joel because because you said 0:11:02.360 --> 0:11:05.320 the whole camp and we're writing a piece about that 0:11:05.480 --> 0:11:08.400 later today and I haven't written mine yet, But Jalen 0:11:08.520 --> 0:11:11.600 Jelks Uh, he's gonna especially with all the defensive end 0:11:12.240 --> 0:11:14.720 question marks that we have. I think that that he'll 0:11:14.760 --> 0:11:19.200 get an opportunity to play in the like second quarter 0:11:19.280 --> 0:11:21.720 and then into the third. So guys, when you when 0:11:21.720 --> 0:11:23.880 you have starters that are banged out, those guys have 0:11:23.960 --> 0:11:26.120 to play early and then they're gonna play extensive. So 0:11:26.200 --> 0:11:28.520 I see a lot of seventy for Jalen Jelks. I 0:11:28.559 --> 0:11:30.640 want to see if he can get around the end 0:11:30.679 --> 0:11:33.480 and use you know, create some havoc those long arms. 0:11:33.520 --> 0:11:36.040 That's my guy. I'm right there with you. I would 0:11:36.040 --> 0:11:40.480 say another defensive end. Dorn's armstrong, and I think he's 0:11:40.520 --> 0:11:43.280 gonna get a ton of playing time. He'll maybe the 0:11:43.280 --> 0:11:46.520 guys start out, probably he's gonna start, and he'll probably 0:11:46.520 --> 0:11:48.360 when the other started to start coming out, He's probably 0:11:48.400 --> 0:11:50.680 gonna stay in a little while longer. Um, so you 0:11:50.720 --> 0:11:53.440 may get to see maybe a half of Dorn's armstrong. 0:11:53.760 --> 0:11:55.600 I want to see how he matches up against other 0:11:55.600 --> 0:11:58.720 competition and the guys out here, because out here he's 0:11:58.760 --> 0:12:01.720 looked really good. In my opinion, Again, a defensive end 0:12:01.720 --> 0:12:04.400 doesn't have to win every time. Defensive end wins one 0:12:04.440 --> 0:12:07.400 time per game throughout a season, he's gonna be a 0:12:07.480 --> 0:12:09.559 pro bowler. So I want to see if he can 0:12:09.559 --> 0:12:10.959 do that. Can you get a win? Can you get 0:12:11.040 --> 0:12:13.160 one win this week? And I'll tell me a lot 0:12:13.200 --> 0:12:15.200 about what I'm thinking or what I'm seeing out here 0:12:15.200 --> 0:12:18.000 and how it translates to an actual game against other competition. 0:12:18.760 --> 0:12:20.640 These games, like we just said, you know, even if 0:12:20.679 --> 0:12:22.360 we see the starters, it won't be much. This is 0:12:22.360 --> 0:12:24.200 where you want to watch the middle and back into 0:12:24.240 --> 0:12:25.960 the depth chart for sure, because they're going to have 0:12:26.000 --> 0:12:28.400 to do most of the heavy lifting. You inspired me 0:12:28.440 --> 0:12:30.600 on this one, Derek. I want to watch Dalton Schultz 0:12:30.600 --> 0:12:33.600 because Witten might not play at all, and if he doesn't, 0:12:33.720 --> 0:12:36.079 Blake Jarwin's not going to play the whole game. I think, 0:12:36.120 --> 0:12:38.360 you know, he's not this established vet, but I think 0:12:38.360 --> 0:12:40.319 he's earned that where he doesn't have to play all 0:12:40.360 --> 0:12:43.520 sixty minutes of this game. So I would have expect 0:12:43.600 --> 0:12:46.760 Dalton Schultz to get a long look, you know, a 0:12:46.760 --> 0:12:49.160 few quarters at least. Then we'll see just how far 0:12:49.160 --> 0:12:50.880 he's come. No better time to see if you're a 0:12:50.880 --> 0:12:53.839 good blocker than going against real competition. And we know 0:12:53.840 --> 0:12:55.719 how much they like to run twelfth personnel, which is 0:12:55.760 --> 0:12:58.120 one of it. One running back, two tight ends, which 0:12:58.160 --> 0:13:00.480 means that even with the starters, he's ill be gonna 0:13:00.480 --> 0:13:02.920 be out there something. Yeah, I would agree. Now, who 0:13:02.920 --> 0:13:06.680 would be a guy that you think might surprise all 0:13:06.720 --> 0:13:10.600 of us? M oh, I know I'll kind of gift too, 0:13:11.040 --> 0:13:13.720 because I like to throw them together, father and son, 0:13:14.600 --> 0:13:18.080 Mike and Joe Jackson. Okay, I'm just saying like I 0:13:18.160 --> 0:13:22.599 just and I probably maybe maybe I've been a little hot. No, 0:13:22.720 --> 0:13:24.280 I don't think so. I think Nick's just been a 0:13:24.320 --> 0:13:28.559 little lower than everybody else on Michael, like you you said, Mike, 0:13:28.600 --> 0:13:31.240 you think Mike Jackson has been okay. I think he's 0:13:31.280 --> 0:13:33.920 actually been pretty good. It wasn't like you, No, I'm 0:13:33.960 --> 0:13:37.760 talking about he's got really long arms. I don't really 0:13:38.040 --> 0:13:40.640 I think, I know. I think Mike Jackson and Joe 0:13:40.720 --> 0:13:43.560 Jackson I think have been pretty good out here, and 0:13:43.679 --> 0:13:47.440 I'm interested again to see them against other competitions because 0:13:47.520 --> 0:13:50.600 both of them are guys that, yeah, you liked their 0:13:50.720 --> 0:13:53.760 draft picks, but they're not guaranteed a spot. But I 0:13:53.760 --> 0:13:56.079 think they're right there on that cusp. If they can 0:13:56.120 --> 0:13:58.520 make some plays in this kind of game and surprise 0:13:58.600 --> 0:14:01.800 you with them with one big play, then it kind 0:14:01.800 --> 0:14:03.720 of pushes them up into that realm of yeah, they 0:14:03.720 --> 0:14:05.640 gotta make the scene. They need to make this team right. 0:14:05.880 --> 0:14:07.719 So those are two guys I think could surprise you. 0:14:08.160 --> 0:14:10.040 They do it every day out here, so I assume 0:14:10.280 --> 0:14:11.959 one of them will do it in the game. Either 0:14:12.200 --> 0:14:15.600 John Vey Johnson or Jalen Guyden is going to get 0:14:15.640 --> 0:14:18.000 behind somebody. Is John Vay surprise at this point, he 0:14:18.040 --> 0:14:20.400 won't be for us, but I guess for fans out there. 0:14:20.480 --> 0:14:22.360 I mean, yeah, it will be if this is Jake 0:14:22.440 --> 0:14:24.400 it to a game. If this is your first look 0:14:24.400 --> 0:14:27.600 at the Cowboys and he brings in some forty fifty 0:14:27.600 --> 0:14:29.800 sixty yard catch, Yeah, I think that'll catch people's eye. 0:14:30.120 --> 0:14:34.280 Eric Rodgers, Yeah no, you don't. Neither do fans. Fourteen 0:14:34.360 --> 0:14:37.000 He was great out here. Oxnard for never did it 0:14:37.040 --> 0:14:38.880 in a game. He never did anything, and I think 0:14:38.960 --> 0:14:41.560 he plays in the Arena League now. But but John 0:14:41.640 --> 0:14:43.880 Vay has been He's been way more involved than any 0:14:43.880 --> 0:14:46.120 guy I can remember. Like we talk about those kind 0:14:46.160 --> 0:14:48.680 of guys all the time. Those guys usually are doing 0:14:48.680 --> 0:14:50.680 that against second, third team guys. John Vay has been 0:14:50.680 --> 0:14:53.040 out here running with the ones a lot. Here's the thing, though, 0:14:53.120 --> 0:14:55.360 is well, we'll see. He might get to run with 0:14:55.400 --> 0:14:59.400 the ones for all I know, but he's gonna it's 0:14:59.440 --> 0:15:02.080 gonna hinder him too, because he's gonna be playing with 0:15:02.120 --> 0:15:04.880 the second and third offense, like it's gonna be Mike 0:15:04.960 --> 0:15:08.840 White running for his life because Jake Campos is trace 0:15:09.040 --> 0:15:12.760 Jason after the defensive end, like preseason football gets ugly 0:15:12.800 --> 0:15:15.680 in the second half because you got guys that aren't 0:15:15.720 --> 0:15:17.520 that good. So if he can do it, but with 0:15:17.520 --> 0:15:19.760 a lesser cast than you know. That being said, it 0:15:19.800 --> 0:15:22.440 happens all the time. The offensive line can't block anybody 0:15:22.720 --> 0:15:25.880 in the second and third, you know, second half. But 0:15:25.960 --> 0:15:29.240 it's not like Michael Strahan's living on the on the 0:15:29.240 --> 0:15:31.040 Cowboys side of the ball, Like it's not like he 0:15:31.080 --> 0:15:33.920 gets eight, eight to ten sacks, you know, yeah, yeah, 0:15:33.960 --> 0:15:37.280 But I think we've also noticed though that that well, 0:15:37.280 --> 0:15:38.760 I don't know, I mean, I just think it's I 0:15:38.880 --> 0:15:41.440 just think it's the Cowboys offensive line has been so bad. 0:15:41.720 --> 0:15:44.200 I don't remember a bunch of defensive ents just getting 0:15:44.200 --> 0:15:46.760 three to four sacks in the second half. Like, wow, 0:15:46.800 --> 0:15:50.040 he's good. Which also, you know, as much as we 0:15:50.280 --> 0:15:52.840 as much as we talk about them not making the team, 0:15:52.920 --> 0:15:55.560 like you'd like to think that the Mitch Hyatts of 0:15:55.560 --> 0:15:58.200 the world could maybe hold their own against you know, 0:15:58.320 --> 0:16:00.920 back into the depth chart competition. That's the one thing 0:16:01.000 --> 0:16:04.520 Colombo said right after the draft. I remember asking him about, yeah, 0:16:04.560 --> 0:16:06.440 you got some good guys in free agency there and 0:16:06.760 --> 0:16:08.600 the college free agents. He was like, well, when we 0:16:08.640 --> 0:16:11.040 get to the preseason games, we're now going to be 0:16:11.120 --> 0:16:13.040 able to block a little bit in the second half. 0:16:13.040 --> 0:16:15.920 That was his first statement so we'll see. Now Brandon 0:16:16.000 --> 0:16:20.400 Knight is he's banged up the field, not going to play. 0:16:20.520 --> 0:16:23.560 So it's high at and that is like the only 0:16:23.560 --> 0:16:25.480 guy they got now high at night. They had to 0:16:25.480 --> 0:16:28.760 sign Poy's gone. I know that they signed him, but 0:16:28.800 --> 0:16:31.040 now he's gone. They had to sign a guy from 0:16:31.120 --> 0:16:34.040 Michigan who's got like his name three names. I can't remember. 0:16:35.520 --> 0:16:37.920 The guy they signed on like Wednesday is going to 0:16:37.960 --> 0:16:41.120 play on Saturday. Welcome to the NFL. That's fun. So 0:16:41.200 --> 0:16:43.440 we'll see. But if one of those receivers takes it 0:16:43.480 --> 0:16:45.520 to the game, I think it qualifies as a surprise. 0:16:45.760 --> 0:16:49.120 William William called him off the bus guy. Yeah he 0:16:49.160 --> 0:16:51.640 did the tackle. Oh yeah, he's like what is he 0:16:51.720 --> 0:16:54.160 like six seven or something. I pride myself like, if 0:16:54.160 --> 0:16:56.480 you're on the team, I know your name. I pride 0:16:56.480 --> 0:17:00.400 myself on that. And I can't remember four Juwan Bushell Beatty, 0:17:00.520 --> 0:17:07.160 I think something like that. Who would be your guy 0:17:07.200 --> 0:17:09.560 that might surprise here? Um, I was gonna say one 0:17:09.560 --> 0:17:14.159 of the receivers guiding, and uh, John Vy mainly guiding 0:17:14.200 --> 0:17:17.280 because he's struggled a little bit more, I guess than 0:17:17.359 --> 0:17:21.520 John Vey. But um, Reggie Davis too. You know, in 0:17:21.520 --> 0:17:23.880 in that group, he's gonna get some some playing time 0:17:23.920 --> 0:17:27.400 there wide receiver. So who's gonna surprise me? I think 0:17:27.480 --> 0:17:30.919 Davis would surprise me if he actually it, took it 0:17:30.960 --> 0:17:33.480 to the field and played well, what nothing, I'm just laughing, 0:17:33.560 --> 0:17:35.639 So he would actually kind of surprise me. I think so, 0:17:35.720 --> 0:17:39.199 because I think Reggie Davis is the guy that is 0:17:39.560 --> 0:17:43.200 we've seen a lot of, not John Vy, because John 0:17:43.240 --> 0:17:45.960 Vey's got speed, then we don't really see that all ton, 0:17:46.080 --> 0:17:49.040 But Reggie Davis the practice squad from a year ago 0:17:49.200 --> 0:17:50.639 and now you know an he weighs one hundred and 0:17:50.680 --> 0:17:53.479 thirty seven pounds and he comes out here and you know, 0:17:53.560 --> 0:17:57.120 and we'll see. But if he can continue to make plays, 0:17:57.160 --> 0:17:58.920 I think that would be surprising. I'll give you another 0:17:58.920 --> 0:18:00.960 one that might surprise me a little bit because I've 0:18:00.960 --> 0:18:03.879 seen kind of this. There have been moments out here 0:18:03.880 --> 0:18:06.679 where he's flashed, but it hasn't been consistent a receiver 0:18:07.359 --> 0:18:09.880 as Cedric Wilson like. There have been some days where 0:18:09.920 --> 0:18:12.239 he's had some big plays and then he'll just kind 0:18:12.240 --> 0:18:13.960 of disappear. You don't see anything from him for a 0:18:13.960 --> 0:18:15.760 couple of days, and all of a sudden he'll flash, 0:18:16.040 --> 0:18:18.879 So it wouldn't it would be kind of surprising that 0:18:18.960 --> 0:18:21.919 he would do it. But but you've seen flashes of it. 0:18:22.000 --> 0:18:24.720 So I think that's a guy that maybe might get 0:18:24.720 --> 0:18:26.280 into a game like this and and all of a 0:18:26.280 --> 0:18:28.040 sudden hit you for a big play and you're like, oh, 0:18:28.080 --> 0:18:30.560 Cedric Wilson's now in the mix, right, I could tell 0:18:30.600 --> 0:18:33.520 who's gonna be surprised in the press box. The whole 0:18:33.640 --> 0:18:35.919 whole press box will be surprised. The Cowboys go down, 0:18:36.040 --> 0:18:38.399 score touchdown, and they make the extra point and everyone 0:18:42.040 --> 0:18:44.359 but he's gonna get all the kicks. I believe in 0:18:44.400 --> 0:18:48.680 this game. I hope. So I really don't want to 0:18:48.680 --> 0:18:50.000 have to go through a week a kick or talk 0:18:50.040 --> 0:18:54.360 if he misses. Overall, maher hasn't been terrible, but he 0:18:54.359 --> 0:18:55.960 hasn't been he I know, it's just the way you 0:18:56.000 --> 0:18:58.760 say it. Overall, no, But but think about it like this. 0:18:58.760 --> 0:19:02.040 This is just same way in a game. If if 0:19:02.119 --> 0:19:05.399 the guy has been twenty of twenty four for a 0:19:05.480 --> 0:19:08.320 season and he missed, two of his kicks were in 0:19:08.440 --> 0:19:10.679 overtime and they lost the game, another one was right 0:19:10.720 --> 0:19:13.320 at the regulation that didn't force overtime, and another one 0:19:13.400 --> 0:19:16.800 was just a thirty seven yard or you'd be like, yeah, 0:19:17.000 --> 0:19:19.520 pretty good. But when we really needed you the most, 0:19:19.720 --> 0:19:21.840 and that's what he's done out here when it's time, 0:19:21.840 --> 0:19:24.560 that's who he's been. That's who he's been. They that's 0:19:24.840 --> 0:19:27.199 that's probably a problem with for being so good to 0:19:27.240 --> 0:19:28.960 get up there, because if they stay back at the 0:19:29.000 --> 0:19:32.040 forty and it's a fifty seven yard or money, it's 0:19:32.280 --> 0:19:35.080 it's and it's five points for your fantasy league, which 0:19:35.080 --> 0:19:38.040 it's important. Tough to it's tough to gauge. It's it's 0:19:38.040 --> 0:19:40.439 tough to decide how I feel about him because he 0:19:41.400 --> 0:19:44.240 routinely he's five of six, six of seven, seven of eight, 0:19:44.240 --> 0:19:45.960 like he's missing one kick per day. And if I 0:19:46.040 --> 0:19:49.119 told you that those were all from forty five plus, 0:19:49.160 --> 0:19:52.000 you'd probably feel all right about it. But there's the 0:19:52.200 --> 0:19:55.240
