Speaker 1: We are fresh off the cowboys final preseason game where

11
00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:58,320
Speaker 1: they lose to the Jacksonville Jaguars, and so now we

12
00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:02,200
Speaker 1: can just start pointing ourselves toward the opening of the season.

13
00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:05,840
Speaker 1: It is, uh, what week in three days before the

14
00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:10,720
Speaker 1: Cowboys begin the season against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Tampa,

15
00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:14,319
Speaker 1: the reigning Super Bowl defending champions. And it'll be fun.

16
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:16,200
Speaker 1: It'll be fun. So what we're gonna do it on

17
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:18,800
Speaker 1: today's show is we're gonna spend most of the show

18
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:21,919
Speaker 1: trying to break this down as far as the fifty

19
00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:24,960
Speaker 1: three man roster. Tomorrow, the Cowboys I think by four

20
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:27,559
Speaker 1: pm Eastern time, the Cowboys have to get their roster

21
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:30,679
Speaker 1: down to fifty three. But we're gonna go ahead and

22
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:33,480
Speaker 1: do that for them today, and we will send our

23
00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:35,640
Speaker 1: official list over to Will and his group and let

24
00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:38,320
Speaker 1: them know what the break thinks they should do as

25
00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:43,360
Speaker 1: far as their final good not William Blakins, Will McClay.

26
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:45,080
Speaker 1: We're gonna send it over. I'm just gonna say, hey,

27
00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:47,760
Speaker 1: you know, you did us a solid on the documentary,

28
00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:50,440
Speaker 1: so we're gonna do you a solid on the fifty

29
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:53,120
Speaker 1: three and we're gonna call it even make this easy

30
00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:55,200
Speaker 1: on you. Absolutely, Yeah, just take the rest of the

31
00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:58,000
Speaker 1: day exactly. We've been watching, We've been watching practice. We

32
00:01:58,080 --> 00:01:59,880
Speaker 1: got a good idea of what should happen with this team.

33
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:04,120
Speaker 1: I don't. I'm sorry, I don't have a good idea. No,

34
00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:06,040
Speaker 1: I don't think we've I've said this several times. I

35
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:08,160
Speaker 1: don't think we've learned one thing about this football team

36
00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:11,160
Speaker 1: since we got the training camp, except except for the

37
00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:14,639
Speaker 1: fact that Ceedee Lamb is a baller. What we haven't

38
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:16,920
Speaker 1: learned we haven't learned about Michael Parson that we know

39
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:20,200
Speaker 1: he's gonna be the best linebacker on this team. Okay,

40
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:23,200
Speaker 1: we haven't learned that. But what does that mean? Well,

41
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:27,000
Speaker 1: the best linebacker, that means he's gonna be the best

42
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:29,320
Speaker 1: linebacker on this team. Okay, I mean I'm saying that's

43
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:31,320
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. Darren Hambrick was the best linebacker one year.

44
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:33,480
Speaker 1: I mean, what does that necessarily mean? I think, yeah,

45
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:36,280
Speaker 1: his arrow was pointed up. He looks every bit like

46
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:38,400
Speaker 1: the first round pick and all that. I'm just saying,

47
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:40,480
Speaker 1: there's a lot of question mark. We do our twenty

48
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:43,480
Speaker 1: questions thing, and I don't know we've really answered a

49
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:46,080
Speaker 1: lot of them. But that's okay, that's what you know.

50
00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:48,440
Speaker 1: I love. First of all, I love that you're the

51
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:52,120
Speaker 1: Debbie down. He's not usually the pessimist. Again, he's right though,

52
00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:55,200
Speaker 1: He's right, and that's It's this is a wonderful chance

53
00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:58,880
Speaker 1: to just reset it because everything we just saw, good

54
00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:02,520
Speaker 1: and bad, means next to nothing. Now it really does.

55
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:05,320
Speaker 1: Like it's like you're all bubbling, you're ready to go.

56
00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:08,440
Speaker 1: This last month and an we didn't waste anything. But

57
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:11,200
Speaker 1: you know we've done this before, where you know, we

58
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:14,000
Speaker 1: get back from training camp and Byron Jones is the

59
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:18,880
Speaker 1: next He's the next All Pro safety Byron Jones, the

60
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:21,399
Speaker 1: Xavier Woods like these are the things that I can't

61
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:24,919
Speaker 1: stop thinking about. Collins, Yep, that's no. I'm with Micah

62
00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:28,079
Speaker 1: Parsons had an incredible train camp. That doesn't necessarily mean

63
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:31,040
Speaker 1: he's going to have an incredible season. It's it just

64
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:33,680
Speaker 1: and it's not trying to be a downer. I have

65
00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:35,560
Speaker 1: a lot of opinions about what we saw over the

66
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:39,040
Speaker 1: last month, but now now it's, you know, put put

67
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:40,880
Speaker 1: it to work, put it to you, make it count.

68
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:44,560
Speaker 1: I mean, Randy Gregory looks like he's ready to take

69
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:47,720
Speaker 1: that next level. Dorrence Armstrong had a really good camp

70
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:50,240
Speaker 1: from what we saw, and so there are some things

71
00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:52,600
Speaker 1: out there. I mean, Dalton Schultz when he when he's

72
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:54,440
Speaker 1: held you. But the thing about it was is because

73
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:58,240
Speaker 1: Dat got hurt when he did, and then Amari came

74
00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:00,400
Speaker 1: back when he did, and it seemed like the tackles

75
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:02,440
Speaker 1: were kind of in and out, and Zach sometimes and not.

76
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:06,960
Speaker 1: We just never really saw the whole offense together. Zeke

77
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:09,760
Speaker 1: never got to carry. Has he fixed his fumbling problems?

78
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:13,160
Speaker 1: But who knows? Who knows until the first time Tampa

79
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:15,160
Speaker 1: Bay is trying to strip at it, you know, and

80
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:17,440
Speaker 1: so what the twentye time. Right, well, yeah, not just

81
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:20,000
Speaker 1: the first time. I meant, so, you know, is Da

82
00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:22,560
Speaker 1: back from the ankle? I mean, is that he is

83
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:25,200
Speaker 1: he taking off yet? No, he's still got you know,

84
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 1: the shoulders. So there's just I'm glad we're here. I'm

85
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:32,000
Speaker 1: just saying, it's hard to really know what what are

86
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:34,160
Speaker 1: we looking at here? There's only there can only be

87
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:37,480
Speaker 1: like three teams in the league right now, where the

88
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:41,359
Speaker 1: podcasts that talk about said team aren't just excited and

89
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:44,320
Speaker 1: raring to go. You know, everybody saw some stuff that

90
00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:48,600
Speaker 1: got them excited during training camp, except for like Houston

91
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:52,080
Speaker 1: Man Houston Detroit going back to at least they beat

92
00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:55,360
Speaker 1: the Cowboys. That's all they got, they say in that, Well,

93
00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:57,480
Speaker 1: that's all they got to say. I mean, if they

94
00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:00,240
Speaker 1: want to be positive about anything, what the governor's up,

95
00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:02,960
Speaker 1: they too call it that whatever something like that. If

96
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:05,520
Speaker 1: you even if you remember the score of a preseason

97
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:08,680
Speaker 1: game longer than twelve hours after it happened, I got

98
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:11,400
Speaker 1: nothing for you. But you get my point. And so

99
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:13,599
Speaker 1: it's not trying to be a downer. But now you

100
00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:15,919
Speaker 1: know we're we're into the thick of it. But I

101
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:17,840
Speaker 1: think that's also the truth too. You can look at

102
00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:20,400
Speaker 1: that from the opposite way that probably all thirty two

103
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:23,520
Speaker 1: teams right now have a similar list of questions about

104
00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:26,520
Speaker 1: their team right now, because that you don't know coming

105
00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:28,800
Speaker 1: off training camp, you don't necessarily know what's going to

106
00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:30,400
Speaker 1: happen when you get into the season. That's the beauty

107
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:32,480
Speaker 1: of the NFL. The NFL is not a kind of

108
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:35,120
Speaker 1: league where you can really predict it. It is a season.

109
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:38,800
Speaker 1: It is a league where going into the season, they're

110
00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:41,799
Speaker 1: probably only three or four teams that have no shot

111
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:44,720
Speaker 1: at all, and there are probably two or three that

112
00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:47,640
Speaker 1: have the best shot, and everybody else on a given

113
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:50,080
Speaker 1: year could get hot and could do some great things

114
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:52,720
Speaker 1: and could be very cold and be picking first in

115
00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:55,440
Speaker 1: the draft. Like that's the NFL. That's actually what I

116
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:57,800
Speaker 1: love about the NFL. You can't predict it. It's fun

117
00:05:57,839 --> 00:05:59,800
Speaker 1: to watch it play out. And so here we go.

118
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:01,720
Speaker 1: Cowboys will have to play it all out, all right.

119
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:04,440
Speaker 1: So let's start first with some injuries. I want to

120
00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:06,400
Speaker 1: start with Lyle Collins and his injury. Talk to me

121
00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:09,400
Speaker 1: about what the injury is first of all, and and

122
00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:12,360
Speaker 1: then talk to me about how concerned fans should be

123
00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:15,440
Speaker 1: that he's dealing with this. At this point, Lyle Collins

124
00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:20,560
Speaker 1: is dealing with some stingers. That's you know, that's related

125
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:24,880
Speaker 1: to neck and back injuries usually Mike McCarthy and this

126
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:27,680
Speaker 1: is so, this is these are almost two separate issues.

127
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:30,120
Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy says, it's not a long term thing, it's

128
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:32,320
Speaker 1: not something that he's worried about. He should be available

129
00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:36,400
Speaker 1: to practice against Tampa. So should you be concerned that

130
00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:40,080
Speaker 1: Lyle Collins is going to miss time right now? No?

131
00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:43,920
Speaker 1: Should you be concerned that this is maybe an injury

132
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:47,200
Speaker 1: that he's gonna be dealing with. Yes, I mean that,

133
00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:48,880
Speaker 1: I don't know a better way to say it. Like,

134
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:53,200
Speaker 1: stingers typically tend to come back. This is something guys

135
00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:58,440
Speaker 1: typically our deal with, which it sucks that it's happening

136
00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:01,760
Speaker 1: to another tackle, But this was this was Tyran's problem before,

137
00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:05,520
Speaker 1: like you know, Lyle's. He doesn't really have a stinger history,

138
00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:08,640
Speaker 1: at least not a long one. So, uh, yeah, I'd

139
00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:10,040
Speaker 1: be lying if I said it didn't make me a

140
00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:13,440
Speaker 1: little bit uneasy, just that this won't this probably won't

141
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:15,200
Speaker 1: be the only time we're talking about it. That doesn't

142
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:17,080
Speaker 1: mean he's gonna miss a lot of time. But you

143
00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:19,240
Speaker 1: never know well and also makes you a little bit

144
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:21,880
Speaker 1: uneasy because he didn't have the best training camp. You know,

145
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:24,880
Speaker 1: he did get back out there. They played him more

146
00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:28,600
Speaker 1: than really any other of those starting lineman, but you know,

147
00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:32,720
Speaker 1: he he didn't look like the same player we we

148
00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:36,640
Speaker 1: saw when when you know, I guess twenty nineteen. I mean, um,

149
00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:39,520
Speaker 1: if you could call it rust, I guess, I mean

150
00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:41,880
Speaker 1: that's what you're hoping, that's what you call it. So

151
00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:44,760
Speaker 1: to have this injury at this time, you were hoping

152
00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:47,080
Speaker 1: things would kind of start ramping up more. But listen,

153
00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:49,600
Speaker 1: he's about a stuff as they get. He really is.

154
00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:52,480
Speaker 1: He showed that his whole career, and I think he's

155
00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:55,560
Speaker 1: a He is a pro, and so if there's anybody

156
00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:58,440
Speaker 1: then I'm just counting on that's it's gonna get it

157
00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:00,960
Speaker 1: when those lights turn on. It's lie l. I just

158
00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:03,720
Speaker 1: maybe that's me being optimistic there, but I think so

159
00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:06,000
Speaker 1: I agree with that. I just I hope this is

160
00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:10,120
Speaker 1: not a situation where it's like, well it's Wednesday, so

161
00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:13,080
Speaker 1: Lyle's not practicing because of the stinger, and like we've

162
00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:15,480
Speaker 1: seen that with guys before. And I don't want to

163
00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:17,760
Speaker 1: project too much because we don't know, but I don't

164
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:21,600
Speaker 1: blame anybody that is just kind of uneasy, Like I

165
00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:23,880
Speaker 1: haven't played a game yet and he's dealing with this,

166
00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:27,080
Speaker 1: and there's yeah, there's no way to spend that as

167
00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:29,760
Speaker 1: a completely non factor. And it doesn't help that the

168
00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:34,200
Speaker 1: backup spot, the swing tackle spot, has got everybody even

169
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:36,160
Speaker 1: more concerned. And we're going to get to that when

170
00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:38,040
Speaker 1: we start getting into the roster, because I think that's

171
00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:40,360
Speaker 1: one of the positions that we really need to talk

172
00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:43,760
Speaker 1: a lot about because of the health of Lyle but

173
00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:46,680
Speaker 1: also the past health of Tyren Smith. Like there's a

174
00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:50,079
Speaker 1: lot to discussing that. Talking to me about Calvin Joseph,

175
00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:52,560
Speaker 1: he left the game yesterday after making a nice open

176
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:55,800
Speaker 1: field tackle. What's his injury and what's he standing. He's

177
00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:58,560
Speaker 1: got a groin. He said last night that it's minor

178
00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:01,720
Speaker 1: and he'll be back soon. That could mean anything. I mean,

179
00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:05,360
Speaker 1: you know, this happened last night. Mike Andcarthy hasn't talked.

180
00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:08,400
Speaker 1: I haven't heard anything as of yet about the severity.

181
00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:11,160
Speaker 1: I don't get the impression it's something that's gonna land

182
00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:16,720
Speaker 1: him on IR. I don't think it it will, but

183
00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:20,720
Speaker 1: it could, and like it they could do that. They could,

184
00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:23,800
Speaker 1: they could put him there because it's because of roster management. Yeah,

185
00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:26,839
Speaker 1: and plut like the i R is such a wildly

186
00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:31,480
Speaker 1: Before Covid injured reserve was like you reserve that for

187
00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:35,760
Speaker 1: season ending, it's over or maybe he's got a chance.

188
00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:37,560
Speaker 1: Now it's just like, yeah, he needs two or three

189
00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:39,560
Speaker 1: weeks to get right, Like it just doesn't mean what

190
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:42,160
Speaker 1: it did two years ago. So they could put him

191
00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:44,400
Speaker 1: on IR and have him back by week four. And

192
00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:47,760
Speaker 1: also that's their you know, projection projection of like, Okay,

193
00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:51,280
Speaker 1: let's say he was just completely healthy. Is he active?

194
00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:54,240
Speaker 1: He is he one of the forties six? I mean,

195
00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:56,640
Speaker 1: I don't know that yet about him. He hasn't shown

196
00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:59,960
Speaker 1: that he's this special teams guy that he so I'm

197
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:02,040
Speaker 1: I mean, I would think Maurice Kennedy might be a

198
00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:04,600
Speaker 1: better game day active than him. Oh maybe it's in

199
00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:06,640
Speaker 1: his best interest to go to IR then, so I

200
00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:09,800
Speaker 1: don't have to hear angry fans whining about why the

201
00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:13,920
Speaker 1: top fifty pick isn't dressing out possible. I don't know.

202
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:17,080
Speaker 1: I hadn't heard that that i R was in consideration.

203
00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:18,839
Speaker 1: But when you consider that it's only a three or

204
00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:22,840
Speaker 1: four week deal. That makes sense if it's like, okay,

205
00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:25,120
Speaker 1: let's think about this, like he's probably going to miss

206
00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:27,360
Speaker 1: the first let's say that they're saying this, he could

207
00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:30,480
Speaker 1: miss the first game, maybe into the second game. I'm

208
00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:33,520
Speaker 1: not even sure he's going to be active anyways, Let's

209
00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:36,240
Speaker 1: let's do this. Let's hold again to do that, Let's

210
00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:39,760
Speaker 1: hold him. That gives a chance to get at another player,

211
00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:42,920
Speaker 1: and then you know, it always works out kind of

212
00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:47,600
Speaker 1: It Just somebody gets hurt here always. It always like, ah,

213
00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:50,679
Speaker 1: if there's one thing that I've learned, it just always

214
00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:54,840
Speaker 1: it always does. Everybody's always like fretting about it, and

215
00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:57,880
Speaker 1: then somebody gets hurt. Somebody gets ding dug at defensive

216
00:10:57,920 --> 00:10:59,800
Speaker 1: tackle when the training camp started, but like they got

217
00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:03,040
Speaker 1: seven guys, like who's gonna make it? And now you're

218
00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:05,160
Speaker 1: kind of wonderingly do they need to pick up a

219
00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:07,559
Speaker 1: tackle to you know, do they need to have get

220
00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:10,160
Speaker 1: a veteran in here? Because so many things have sort

221
00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:13,120
Speaker 1: of happened at that position. All right, we're gonna do

222
00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:16,120
Speaker 1: this real quick before we get into the roster. We're

223
00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:18,319
Speaker 1: gonna go ahead and take a quick early break and

224
00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:20,640
Speaker 1: then when we come back, we're gonna talk about the roster.

225
00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:23,120
Speaker 1: We're gonna start with that quarterback position, because the backup

226
00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:26,200
Speaker 1: quarterback is one of the positions that everybody's talking about

227
00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:28,760
Speaker 1: right now. And I'll have the question for this get

228
00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:31,200
Speaker 1: for this group as to whether the quarterback that will

229
00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:33,880
Speaker 1: back up ask Dak Prescott is on the roster or

230
00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:36,560
Speaker 1: should be on the roster currently. We'll talk about that

231
00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:38,679

283
00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:23,680

287
00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:32,480
Speaker 1: people that just say, I'm going to do my workouts today.

288
00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:34,680
Speaker 1: You know, maybe they're thinking that somebody's going to be

289
00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:36,320
Speaker 1: looking down and go, oh, that guy's got a good,

290
00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:39,200
Speaker 1: nice forty time or whatever. But you'll see people working

291
00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:41,240
Speaker 1: out there and it's it's just funny how it's like

292
00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:44,560
Speaker 1: AstroTurf leads people to come do stuff. Got a little

293
00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:47,120
Speaker 1: cornhole down there. Yeah, obviously can do all that with

294
00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:50,280
Speaker 1: a fresh cold mill of lights, so I'm not bad.

295
00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:53,280
Speaker 1: I'm bringing Chris Beam, our producer. If there's there's cornhole

296
00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:56,440
Speaker 1: going on, Chris Beam, he's like a champion, he is.

297
00:14:56,600 --> 00:14:59,040
Speaker 1: He is. All right, So let's actually do it right

298
00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:01,640
Speaker 1: outside your door or at training campus. What I really

299
00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:04,120
Speaker 1: want to happen. Don't get me started. All right, We're

300

Speaker 1: gonna talk about the fifty three man roster. Here's what

301
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:07,640

304
00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:15,920
Speaker 1: this person is definitely on the team. Um, and I'll

305
00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:17,800
Speaker 1: make sure you guys don't have others that are in

306
00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:19,600
Speaker 1: the maybe column that you think should be on the

307
00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:22,000
Speaker 1: definite column. Once we do that, then we'll figure out

308
00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:23,840
Speaker 1: what our number is, and then we'll back into the

309
00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:27,160
Speaker 1: final few spots of who we think should make the team.

310
00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:30,400
Speaker 1: I've got it. If you're going to write it down

311
00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:32,160
Speaker 1: there now, you can write it down so real quick.

312
00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:33,480
Speaker 1: Let's just get it out of the way. We know

313
00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:36,400
Speaker 1: the three specialists. We know Greggs are Aline as the kicker,

314
00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:40,440
Speaker 1: Brian Anger as a punter, and dude, that's ironic that

315
00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:44,600
Speaker 1: you started not that's ironic. I mean, I don't know. Man,

316
00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:48,840
Speaker 1: we'll get Let's be careful because that is true. Just

317
00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:52,960
Speaker 1: keep your eye on what the rams. Just keep around

318
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:54,560
Speaker 1: the Rams, just keep your eye on what they may

319
00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:57,280
Speaker 1: or may not decide to do with their specialists, because

320
00:15:57,320 --> 00:15:59,600
Speaker 1: we've got every other former Ram over. That's I mean,

321
00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:01,400
Speaker 1: if we can get if we can get the whole

322
00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:05,920
Speaker 1: band back together, then when then why wouldn't we Okay,

323
00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:08,920
Speaker 1: I know I'm the same way, and it actually borderline

324
00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:13,480
Speaker 1: pissing me off that that situation because it's so it's

325
00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:16,840
Speaker 1: so arrogant of like, let's just do all this. The

326
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:20,600
Speaker 1: Rams have let all of them go, the coach, the kicker,

327
00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:23,320
Speaker 1: the snapper, and then who knows what happens with the punter,

328
00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:26,080
Speaker 1: but they let them all go. Yeah, but now it's like, well,

329
00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:28,040
Speaker 1: let's they all work together, and let's just put them

330
00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:30,240
Speaker 1: all together. And I don't know, Anger has done everything

331
00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:31,880
Speaker 1: he needs to do. He needs to be the punter,

332
00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:35,600
Speaker 1: isn't there Just there's always a coach that It was

333
00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:39,440
Speaker 1: Marinelli for years. Bisaccio was the same way, Like those

334
00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:42,000
Speaker 1: are the three guys. There's gonna be a veteran punter

335
00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:45,320
Speaker 1: on the team, and it's probably Brianing. We knows their line, zirline.

336
00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:48,400
Speaker 1: We do know, and we we're pretty sure about Jake McQuaid.

337
00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:51,760
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure there no no that those are fine. Okay, yeah,

338
00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:54,440
Speaker 1: I don't know. You guys probably gonna be those three.

339
00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:57,440
Speaker 1: There's just there's just something to keep an eye on something.

340
00:16:57,480 --> 00:16:59,080
Speaker 1: We know there's been three spots. They'll be taken for

341
00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:03,560
Speaker 1: the specialists. Just say, wasted more time than you wanted

342
00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:05,359
Speaker 1: for that exactly I thought I was gonna run right

343
00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:07,159
Speaker 1: through that, all right, So let's talk about quarterback. We

344
00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:10,480
Speaker 1: know obviously Dak Prescott. The question in becomes, who is

345
00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:13,080
Speaker 1: the backup? You've got Garrett Gilbert, you got Cooper Rush.

346
00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:16,639
Speaker 1: Who do you guys think should emerge as the backup

347
00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:18,800
Speaker 1: quarterback for this team. I feel like I'm taking crazy

348
00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:23,359
Speaker 1: pills because over one week, everybody just flipped to Cooper Rush,

349
00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:25,840
Speaker 1: and I'm just like, what's wrong with Garrett? Like, what

350
00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:27,600
Speaker 1: did he what did he do that was so bad?

351
00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:30,280
Speaker 1: I don't know. So not to say like I don't

352
00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:33,440
Speaker 1: think he's amazing, I'm you know, so it's it's six

353
00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:35,119
Speaker 1: and one half a dozen to the other. You probably

354
00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:37,080
Speaker 1: don't feel great about it regardless of who they pick.

355
00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:39,520
Speaker 1: But I'm just I'm gonna ride with double G because

356
00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:43,920
Speaker 1: I don't think he really did anything wrong to lose it. Okay, Nick,

357
00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:50,200
Speaker 1: it's just heads tales at this point that they're very similar. Um,

358
00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:52,520
Speaker 1: we were talking a little bit off, you know, and

359
00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:55,600
Speaker 1: like during the commercial, I I agree, you know, Gilbert's

360
00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:57,920
Speaker 1: done it in a game, and he looked pretty good

361
00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:00,720
Speaker 1: doing it. Based off the circumstance answer this, Coop Rush

362
00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:03,800
Speaker 1: hasn't had that opportunity to do that. Cooper's been das

363
00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:06,840
Speaker 1: back up before. I I mean, I might even ask

364
00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:09,560
Speaker 1: the quarterback on this one privately, just what do you

365
00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:11,480
Speaker 1: what do you think? What do you want? But I'll

366
00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:14,080
Speaker 1: say this, if it's if, if if I have a

367
00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:17,960
Speaker 1: third option, that's That's what I'm doing. I'm gonna I'm

368
00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:19,879
Speaker 1: trying to get it. I'm gonna go get a veteran.

369
00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:22,120
Speaker 1: Would you guys get somebody better than these two? Would

370
00:18:22,119 --> 00:18:24,720
Speaker 1: you consider giving up picks? Yes, to go out and

371
00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:27,359
Speaker 1: get some late round Yeah, as long as it's stay three, Yeah,

372
00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:29,760
Speaker 1: I'll do. I'll do what the Eagles did, and not

373
00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:32,320
Speaker 1: only they doesn't even have to be that guy. I

374
00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:34,240
Speaker 1: mean a guy like that. It could be a guy

375
00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:37,840
Speaker 1: that started that's had moderate success. If he's available, I'm

376
00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:40,560
Speaker 1: looking to do that. And that means I might have

377
00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:43,920
Speaker 1: three quarterbacks for week one or you know, because he's

378
00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:45,639
Speaker 1: not gonna learn the offense and all that, so I

379
00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:47,359
Speaker 1: might have three quarterbacks for a week one. That's why

380
00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:49,680
Speaker 1: when we talked about Kelvin Joseph things like that, you

381
00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:52,119
Speaker 1: might have to manage the roster early on the season

382
00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:54,320
Speaker 1: with an injury like that because I might need to

383
00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:58,040
Speaker 1: carry three quarterbacks for a game, you know, I mean,

384
00:18:58,280 --> 00:18:59,919
Speaker 1: maybe not for a game, but three on the row.

385
00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:03,280
Speaker 1: St I wish they could have done the Minshew trade. Yeah,

386
00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:05,560
Speaker 1: I'm awesome. And I thought I would have done it

387
00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:07,800
Speaker 1: thinking that Minshew was in the last year of his deal,

388
00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:09,440
Speaker 1: and then I looked it up and realized he's got

389
00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:12,480
Speaker 1: two years left. So that's on a rookie deal. Sixth

390
00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:16,800
Speaker 1: round pick for a experienced starting quarterback to be your backup.

391
00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:19,440
Speaker 1: For got at something like, he's not He's not horrible guy,

392
00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:23,800
Speaker 1: that's better than the guy to have. I mean, oh,

393
00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:25,760
Speaker 1: you're talking about the Eagles. Oh yeah, I got you. Yeah,

394
00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:28,560
Speaker 1: I mean I mean I like Hurts. Yeah, I don't

395
00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:30,439
Speaker 1: think he's better Hurts, but yeah, I don't. But I

396
00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:32,840
Speaker 1: think he's I think he's up there, in my opinion,

397
00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:35,000
Speaker 1: he's up there with some of the better backups in

398
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:38,040
Speaker 1: the league. It's a mood point. But I would be

399
00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:41,240
Speaker 1: willing to part with the fifth, sixth, seventh round pick too,

400
00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:43,640
Speaker 1: if if there was somebody out there that they could get.

401
00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:46,440
Speaker 1: Absolutely all right, let's move on to the running back position.

402
00:19:47,119 --> 00:19:49,680
Speaker 1: We know that Zeke Elliott, Tony Pollard will be here.

403
00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:51,760
Speaker 1: Do you guys think they need a third running back

404
00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:56,600
Speaker 1: purely from a numbers standpoint to do special teams stuff?

405
00:19:56,760 --> 00:20:00,639
Speaker 1: Probably may? I mean you you don't have to. We

406
00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:02,600
Speaker 1: talked about that on the last show. You absolutely don't

407
00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:05,720
Speaker 1: have to to get down to fifty three. You probably

408
00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:08,280
Speaker 1: want one, right, I mean, Rico did a lot of

409
00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:10,440
Speaker 1: stuff on special teams. He was a kick returner, he

410
00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:13,879
Speaker 1: did some blocking, and you just never know what's going

411
00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:15,600
Speaker 1: to happen in a game. I want I want a

412
00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:17,359
Speaker 1: third guy, and I wanted him to be a little

413
00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:21,040
Speaker 1: bit more like Zeke, like a guy that could got

414
00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:23,679
Speaker 1: some you know, not not another Tony Pollard, but a

415
00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:26,360
Speaker 1: guy that can do something. And Rico Dowbell was sort

416
00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:28,399
Speaker 1: of that guy. Give me, give me a guy that

417
00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:31,600
Speaker 1: I can hand the ball off to, um, you know,

418
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:33,840
Speaker 1: ten twelve times if I needed to in a game

419
00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:35,880
Speaker 1: like that. Let's assume for a second that you can

420
00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:39,919
Speaker 1: get somebody like a Brendon Knox or Jaquan Hardy to

421
00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:42,720
Speaker 1: your practice squad. There's no and there's no question of

422
00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:46,199
Speaker 1: whether you can. I'm just I'm paying I mean, not

423
00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:48,520
Speaker 1: to be a jerk, I'm right, no. But but then

424
00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:50,439
Speaker 1: here was the part that was more interesting to me.

425
00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:53,320
Speaker 1: Do you think that if you got somebody like that

426
00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:56,439
Speaker 1: on your practice squad, can you use that if you

427
00:20:56,480 --> 00:20:58,560
Speaker 1: want it? That third running back that's more of a

428
00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:01,440
Speaker 1: special teams guy that maybe you can get a little

429
00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:03,639
Speaker 1: bit out of, is a Nick Rawson at fullback? A

430
00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:06,919
Speaker 1: better options more. I'm more comfortable with playing these two

431
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:10,399
Speaker 1: quarterbacks at quarterback if something happened to Dak than playing

432
00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:13,880
Speaker 1: one of those running backs. I mean, they haven't done

433
00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:16,800
Speaker 1: anything for me. I'm sorry, I'm either one of them.

434
00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:21,040
Speaker 1: I was watching them more closely against Jacksonville because injury

435
00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:23,600
Speaker 1: de Rico necessitated it. I thought Hardy had a nice

436
00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:26,399
Speaker 1: cut on that one run. And they're not They're not running.

437
00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:29,640
Speaker 1: They're running behind Isaac and they're running behind you know, FARNIOK.

438
00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:31,679
Speaker 1: I get that, behind our star. I get and I

439
00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:34,960
Speaker 1: understand that too, But they're also playing against the backups

440
00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:37,240
Speaker 1: as well. I just I can't think of a reason

441
00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:39,639
Speaker 1: why either one of them needs to make the fifty

442
00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:43,359
Speaker 1: This fifty three, which it's a fluid thing, like we

443
00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:45,399
Speaker 1: focus so much on the fifty three. We all know

444
00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:48,199
Speaker 1: it's going to change ten million times this year. You

445
00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:51,600
Speaker 1: just you don't need they can be among your initial cuts.

446
00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:55,000
Speaker 1: One or probably both of them will clear waivers. What

447
00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:58,080
Speaker 1: I don't like about the way they play is they

448
00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:01,879
Speaker 1: haven't gotten used to this as the NFL. One of

449
00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:04,760
Speaker 1: them is from Tiffin, when them from Marshall. They still

450
00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:07,479
Speaker 1: make cuts like they can get around the corner like

451
00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:10,200
Speaker 1: they did in Division three football and they did maybe

452
00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:13,080
Speaker 1: even a Conference USA. They're not used to get your

453
00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:15,200
Speaker 1: five or six yards. You're not gonna get twenty five

454
00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:18,280
Speaker 1: around the corner. They haven't adjusted to that just yet.

455
00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:20,440
Speaker 1: I don't think that they're they're ready. I'd give me

456
00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:22,440
Speaker 1: a guy. There's gonna be guys on that waiver wire

457
00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:25,640
Speaker 1: that played and run the ball before. If he's got

458
00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:27,920
Speaker 1: any kind of special teams ability, I think that would

459
00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:30,600
Speaker 1: be a better fit. They're sorry, they're just there has

460
00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:32,400
Speaker 1: to be a running back that gets cut this week

461
00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:35,439
Speaker 1: that you can put a claim in. And I assume

462
00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:37,240
Speaker 1: I thought they'd give the ball to Ralston a little

463
00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:39,000
Speaker 1: bit more. I really did. I thought they would see

464
00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:40,840
Speaker 1: what he could do as a running back. I think

465
00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:43,480
Speaker 1: he's doing nice things on his special teams as a

466
00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:46,680
Speaker 1: linebacker and type. But he didn't. They didn't give him

467
00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:49,119
Speaker 1: any options to do that. That kind of seems like

468
00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:51,919
Speaker 1: we'll put you on the practice squad type now, so

469
00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:55,000
Speaker 1: you guys don't think that they should have a fullback

470
00:22:55,119 --> 00:22:57,159
Speaker 1: or we'll have a fullback on the final roster. Not

471
00:22:57,520 --> 00:22:59,840
Speaker 1: right now, I would I'd be happy to putting Nick

472
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:02,359
Speaker 1: Austin on the practice squad and call him up as

473
00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:03,960
Speaker 1: a need be. So right now we're gonna stick with

474
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:06,960
Speaker 1: two on the roster, I'd say two, okay until further notice.

475
00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:09,800
Speaker 1: All right, let's move on to wide receiver. Uh, there

476
00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:11,880
Speaker 1: are five guys that I think we all know will

477
00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:14,639
Speaker 1: be on this team. Amari Cooper, Ceedee Lamb, Noah Brown,

478
00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:18,040
Speaker 1: Cedric Wilson, and then Noah Brown. But I say Noah

479
00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:20,119
Speaker 1: Brown twice. I'm sorry, did that's it? I was missing?

480
00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:24,000
Speaker 1: Um Gallup, Michael Gallup. Um, those five on the team.

481
00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:26,720
Speaker 1: Question is do you need a sixth? And if you do,

482
00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:29,359
Speaker 1: who do you prefer between? I assume it would be

483
00:23:29,359 --> 00:23:33,440
Speaker 1: between Malik Turner and Semi Fioca. We're all one hundred

484
00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:37,080
Speaker 1: percent confident that Cedric can Noah make the team. I am,

485
00:23:37,119 --> 00:23:38,920
Speaker 1: I think I am too. I just I just wanted

486
00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:42,480
Speaker 1: to pose the question. I am, I am pretty confident

487
00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:48,000
Speaker 1: there and exactly, yeah, Rush, I just to make to

488
00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:51,919
Speaker 1: be to play Devil's advocate. Malik Turner seems like he

489
00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:55,000
Speaker 1: can do all of the things Cedric Wilson can. Like that,

490
00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:59,280
Speaker 1: just same skill set. That's all I'm saying. He's done.

491
00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:01,240
Speaker 1: He's done a lot of special teams. He can return,

492
00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:04,440
Speaker 1: you know, he's shown his ability as a receiver. All

493
00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:07,600
Speaker 1: of that said, Cedric's been here for years. I think

494
00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:10,360
Speaker 1: Bones really likes him. I know Dak really likes him,

495
00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:13,640
Speaker 1: And I just think that's a situation where it's like, yeah,

496
00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:16,480
Speaker 1: you could save eight hundred thousand dollars making this move,

497
00:24:16,520 --> 00:24:19,679
Speaker 1: but why, what's why do you need that money so

498
00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:21,919
Speaker 1: badly that you can't just keep Cedric around. I mean,

499
00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:24,200
Speaker 1: we started the show with you guys telling me that

500
00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:28,159
Speaker 1: what we saw in training camp right now means little

501
00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:30,520
Speaker 1: because you now have to do it in the regular season.

502
00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:33,080
Speaker 1: And so if I'm looking at that, yeah, Malik Turner

503
00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:37,439
Speaker 1: looked good during training camp and during preseason games. Cedric

504
00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:41,000
Speaker 1: has looked good in games in actual games. Just covering

505
00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:43,600
Speaker 1: my bases, Yeah, I think Cedric should be on the team.

506
00:24:43,640 --> 00:24:46,520
Speaker 1: But again, if you go back to the pre training camp, narrative.

507
00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:49,520
Speaker 1: They're looking for ways to shed some salary and get

508
00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:52,439
Speaker 1: a little bit cheaper. That's the way they could do it.

509
00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:54,119
Speaker 1: I just don't think that they should. I don't think

510
00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:58,040
Speaker 1: they should either, Nick. I think I was the one

511
00:24:58,119 --> 00:25:00,280
Speaker 1: person that kind of said, hey, there's no I don't

512
00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:02,080
Speaker 1: have to make this team with that salary do they

513
00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:04,840
Speaker 1: have to make? But I really liked what I saw

514
00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:08,240
Speaker 1: from Noah Brown a couple times in games. I thought

515
00:25:08,280 --> 00:25:11,920
Speaker 1: he's playing like a big bodied receiver. They're not trying

516
00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:15,160
Speaker 1: to make him as a tight end whatever. He's just

517
00:25:15,280 --> 00:25:17,720
Speaker 1: a physical wide receiver and he's playing that way. He

518
00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:20,400
Speaker 1: had some slants, he caught some passes where I thought,

519
00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:23,600
Speaker 1: you know, he's showing what his role is going to be.

520
00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:26,240
Speaker 1: Because because those guys come off the field, they've grown deep.

521
00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:29,320
Speaker 1: You know, Gallup goes deep, Lamb goes deep. And now

522
00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:31,080
Speaker 1: it's third and five and they're not on the field

523
00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:33,239
Speaker 1: because they're they're gas nor Brown's got to go make

524
00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:34,960
Speaker 1: a play, and I think he's shown the ability to

525
00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:37,560
Speaker 1: do that as a receiver, not just special teams. You

526
00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:39,240
Speaker 1: guys want to go five or six there, I say

527
00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:41,400
Speaker 1: we go five. I say we hold and see how

528
00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:43,359
Speaker 1: it goes. I think ment leak. Turner's sitting there at

529
00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:46,200
Speaker 1: the sixth and you you're saying you would take him

530
00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:48,760
Speaker 1: over Seemy Fioko if if you were choosing between the two.

531
00:25:48,800 --> 00:25:52,240
Speaker 1: It's not my reputation about the draft. I don't if

532
00:25:52,280 --> 00:25:54,439
Speaker 1: I cut a draft pick, it doesn't matter. They it

533
00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:59,000
Speaker 1: matters to them, so they probably there'll be people that

534
00:25:59,080 --> 00:26:02,160
Speaker 1: will be leaning that way. I think he could still

535
00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:04,760
Speaker 1: go in the practice squad. To me, I wonder, I

536
00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:08,280
Speaker 1: think you know if you're if you're being completely like

537
00:26:08,359 --> 00:26:10,000
Speaker 1: Malik Turner has had the better camp, is what I'm

538
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:12,560
Speaker 1: trying to say. If you're being completely fair and status

539
00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:14,679
Speaker 1: doesn't matter, and you want to keep a sixth, it

540
00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:17,280
Speaker 1: should be Malik Turner. But even we talked about this

541
00:26:17,320 --> 00:26:20,760
Speaker 1: before Camp two. Even Ryan Russell, with all due respect

542
00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:23,520
Speaker 1: to him, one of the worst fifth round picks in

543
00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:26,280
Speaker 1: recent memory. He made it as a rookie and he

544
00:26:26,440 --> 00:26:29,959
Speaker 1: was he was not good in his rookie camp. And

545
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:35,119
Speaker 1: so yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if Fayhoko makes it

546
00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:38,400
Speaker 1: and it I think it would purely be protecting your draft. Yeah,

547
00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:41,080
Speaker 1: because also you could you could play both sides of this.

548
00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:43,680
Speaker 1: Malik Turner has been in the league two or three years.

549
00:26:44,359 --> 00:26:47,159
Speaker 1: It is what it is, you know, it's probably and

550
00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:50,119
Speaker 1: he's an undrafted free agent, like to quote our friend

551
00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:52,399
Speaker 1: Brian broad Us, who doesn't have a sponsor, like who's

552
00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:55,600
Speaker 1: who's his sponsor? Whereas Fayoko has got a lot of

553
00:26:55,640 --> 00:27:00,879
Speaker 1: sponsor because they they pride their drafting reputation, and they should.

554
00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:03,840
Speaker 1: They're pretty good at it, so upside, you know, and

555
00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:06,760
Speaker 1: and all of none of this is to say Simmy

556
00:27:06,920 --> 00:27:09,560
Speaker 1: is bad, Like he hasn't been bad. He's just he's

557
00:27:09,560 --> 00:27:12,439
Speaker 1: been fine. Yeah, he's been fine. Um, So I really

558
00:27:13,160 --> 00:27:14,960
Speaker 1: if they keep a six, I think it'll be him

559
00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:17,360
Speaker 1: purely because he's the draft pick. But right now we'll

560
00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:19,600
Speaker 1: stick with five, move to six in the event we

561
00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:21,760
Speaker 1: get that kind of spot. Okay, let's talk about the

562
00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:25,080
Speaker 1: tight ends. There are two that are Deafeness, Blake Jarwin,

563
00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:27,959
Speaker 1: Dalton Schultz. I think you probably can add the third end,

564
00:27:28,040 --> 00:27:30,320
Speaker 1: Jeremy Sprinkle, just because you know that they're going to

565
00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:33,320
Speaker 1: keep three tight ends, I would think. Um, and then

566
00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:36,160
Speaker 1: the question becomes, what are they gonna do with Sean McKellen. Well,

567
00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:38,840
Speaker 1: this is the fun thing is again we were hyper

568
00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:41,200
Speaker 1: focused on the fifty three and it will only stay

569
00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:44,840
Speaker 1: that way for twenty four hours. I think Sean mckun is,

570
00:27:45,040 --> 00:27:46,760
Speaker 1: I mean, he has to make the roster to be

571
00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:49,640
Speaker 1: put on injured reserve, so he's I'm writing his name

572
00:27:49,640 --> 00:27:53,040
Speaker 1: and sharpie, Jeremy Sprinkle's a vested vet. I think he

573
00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:56,200
Speaker 1: probably for a minute, I think he gets cut and

574
00:27:56,200 --> 00:27:58,199
Speaker 1: and they you know, maybe they add a tight end

575
00:27:58,240 --> 00:28:01,359
Speaker 1: after they move Sean McCuen to injured reserve. Yep, I

576
00:28:01,400 --> 00:28:03,280
Speaker 1: could see that happening. I could see that being your

577
00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:07,399
Speaker 1: your fourth guy, hey, Jeremy, that you're gonna put on

578
00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:10,800
Speaker 1: the roster initially, and then he would be the replacement

579
00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:13,640
Speaker 1: for mqun once qun is put on ir woo pig,

580
00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:16,520
Speaker 1: take a day off, come back in on Wednesday. Okay,

581
00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:18,679
Speaker 1: all right, so we'll stick with three at tight end.

582
00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:21,399
Speaker 1: Any chance that any of those other guys, Lynn or

583
00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:24,320
Speaker 1: you Banks are in the mix here practice squad, maybe

584
00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:28,560
Speaker 1: well let's let's throw this out there about Sprinkle, like

585
00:28:28,680 --> 00:28:31,320
Speaker 1: you're saying, hey, you know, sit there for a week.

586
00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:35,600
Speaker 1: His agents gotta understand what's going on here, you know.

587
00:28:35,680 --> 00:28:38,280
Speaker 1: So I'm not saying there'll be a huge market for him.

588
00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:40,720
Speaker 1: Out there if he goes somewhere else, but you know

589
00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:43,520
Speaker 1: what would be his incentive to come back Because this

590
00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:46,960
Speaker 1: isn't like Joe Thomas was last year, where you're the backup.

591
00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:48,959
Speaker 1: We just need you to do this. This is like

592
00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:52,280
Speaker 1: you wouldn't make this team if McEwen was was healthy.

593
00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:57,360
Speaker 1: So you know, if he had an opportunity, I'm not

594
00:28:57,400 --> 00:29:00,040
Speaker 1: going to be out forever forever. I'm not sold that

595
00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:03,360
Speaker 1: it'll be Sprinkle that signs after me. Yeah it's hundred,

596
00:29:03,400 --> 00:29:07,160
Speaker 1: but but it a third tight end. I mean your

597
00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:10,800
Speaker 1: banks actually banks, he looked pretty good yesterday. I mean

598
00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:13,960
Speaker 1: that maybe he's the guy that's definitely a ky. I

599
00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:16,479
Speaker 1: just I can't I'm sorry, I can't take you one

600
00:29:16,520 --> 00:29:19,120
Speaker 1: hundred percent seriously if you're wearing like forty nine as

601
00:29:19,160 --> 00:29:21,240
Speaker 1: a tight end. And I know Jason Witten were it

602
00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:23,680
Speaker 1: for a minute, they didn't take him seriously when ye

603
00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:27,000
Speaker 1: good point, I just move him into move him into

604
00:29:27,080 --> 00:29:29,520

656
00:32:16,480 --> 00:32:18,880
Speaker 1: because I've always worked now. But like in your Derek

658
00:32:21,720 --> 00:32:24,200
Speaker 1: like y'all are taking too long and then this is

659
00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:27,800
Speaker 1: what's happening. Yeah, that's fine, we can notice it, but

660
00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:30,400
Speaker 1: you're not really Like when Texas played Lla Shoe, we

661
00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:32,680
Speaker 1: don't get into the finals? Is that what we're going

662
00:32:32,720 --> 00:32:34,920
Speaker 1: with this? Did you cheer though? Did you cheer? Could

663
00:32:35,040 --> 00:32:37,760
Speaker 1: I cheer from my team? Yeah? Yeah? You seem like

664
00:32:37,760 --> 00:32:40,120
Speaker 1: you're more of a like what are they doing? What

665
00:32:40,200 --> 00:32:42,440
Speaker 1: are they doing? What kind of play call was that?

666
00:32:42,560 --> 00:32:45,400
Speaker 1: He seemed like that kind of guy. Yeah, maybe, yeah,

667
00:32:45,400 --> 00:32:48,320
Speaker 1: I'm kind of that way. Maybe maybe so more of

668
00:32:48,320 --> 00:32:51,000
Speaker 1: that than ra RA team. I don't know. The thing

669
00:32:51,120 --> 00:32:55,640
Speaker 1: is now like my team. You know, I'm somewhat friends

670
00:32:55,640 --> 00:32:57,840
Speaker 1: with the offensive coordinator, so I don't like to say

671
00:32:57,880 --> 00:32:59,640
Speaker 1: that kind of stuff. It's like, I'm sure he had

672
00:32:59,680 --> 00:33:01,880
Speaker 1: a good idea and buying. You know, it's different when

673
00:33:01,920 --> 00:33:05,520
Speaker 1: it does change, it does change it defense, you're gonna

674
00:33:05,520 --> 00:33:07,720
Speaker 1: talk about them, they're bad? All right, Let's let's jump

675
00:33:07,760 --> 00:33:09,400
Speaker 1: back in real quick. We gotta get through the rest

676
00:33:09,400 --> 00:33:11,440
Speaker 1: of this this thing because I gotta get this email

677
00:33:11,440 --> 00:33:13,120
Speaker 1: over to Will. All right, so let's talk about the

678
00:33:13,160 --> 00:33:16,320
Speaker 1: offensive lineman. We got five that obviously we know are

679
00:33:16,360 --> 00:33:19,840
Speaker 1: on this team, Tyren Smith, Connor Williams, Tyler Beotist, Zach

680
00:33:19,920 --> 00:33:22,959
Speaker 1: Mard Lyle Collins. We also know that they're gonna have

681
00:33:23,280 --> 00:33:26,560
Speaker 1: at the very minimum eight and probably out of maximum ten.

682
00:33:27,120 --> 00:33:29,800
Speaker 1: Question for you guys is who should fill in those

683
00:33:29,880 --> 00:33:32,160
Speaker 1: those what names should be filled in? And how many

684
00:33:32,160 --> 00:33:33,719
Speaker 1: do you think we should have? I think you can

685
00:33:33,760 --> 00:33:36,520
Speaker 1: easily go with four, four more. I mean, Secy I

686
00:33:36,520 --> 00:33:38,960
Speaker 1: think makes it. That was evident he didn't play. I

687
00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:41,680
Speaker 1: think Terrence Steele will make it. I think, hey, real quick,

688
00:33:41,760 --> 00:33:44,680
Speaker 1: real quick for the guys that didn't play. Could it

689
00:33:44,760 --> 00:33:46,840
Speaker 1: also be the flip that you don't want a guy

690
00:33:46,880 --> 00:33:48,640
Speaker 1: to get hurt in that final game if you know

691
00:33:48,680 --> 00:33:51,360
Speaker 1: you're gonna cut them, It's it's very possible. But just

692
00:33:51,440 --> 00:33:55,120
Speaker 1: reading t Live he leaves. When you hear Stephen Jones,

693
00:33:55,400 --> 00:33:58,080
Speaker 1: you know, do a radio appearance and say, yeah, we

694
00:33:58,200 --> 00:34:00,800
Speaker 1: like to sign a veteran swing tackle. Tiecki's that guy

695
00:34:00,840 --> 00:34:03,160
Speaker 1: for us this year. You just it's just you get

696
00:34:03,200 --> 00:34:05,520
Speaker 1: an expression that that that's gonna happen. All right, go ahead,

697
00:34:05,520 --> 00:34:07,920
Speaker 1: and Nick, I'm sorry, I just I think it really

698
00:34:07,960 --> 00:34:11,239
Speaker 1: comes down to the tenth guy. I mean, because Connor

699
00:34:11,320 --> 00:34:13,319
Speaker 1: McGovern is gonna make it as well. I think the

700
00:34:13,320 --> 00:34:16,200
Speaker 1: other who are the other two? Conseky, you say at McGovern,

701
00:34:16,400 --> 00:34:18,959
Speaker 1: who are the other two? I think Steel Steele, Josh

702
00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:21,319
Speaker 1: Ball has to ball in order to be put on

703
00:34:21,360 --> 00:34:24,640
Speaker 1: injured reserve? Got it? Yeah? And then you know, I

704
00:34:24,680 --> 00:34:27,520
Speaker 1: think it'll so Brandon Knight out Brendon Night or Farniyac

705
00:34:27,960 --> 00:34:30,520
Speaker 1: to one of those guys, and I in in his

706
00:34:30,680 --> 00:34:32,920
Speaker 1: defense because you know, we kind of we wrote him

707
00:34:32,920 --> 00:34:35,960
Speaker 1: off last week. Basically, I thought Farniac played pretty well yesterday.

708
00:34:36,360 --> 00:34:40,840
Speaker 1: He's you know, he's the last draft pick onto the team,

709
00:34:40,880 --> 00:34:42,840
Speaker 1: and he was the last guy out there still playing,

710
00:34:42,880 --> 00:34:45,720
Speaker 1: and I thought he did all right. So I just wonder,

711
00:34:47,120 --> 00:34:49,359
Speaker 1: you know, you got he's got the He's got guard

712
00:34:49,400 --> 00:34:53,440
Speaker 1: center flexibility if that's what you're looking for. Um, But

713
00:34:53,719 --> 00:34:56,319
Speaker 1: Brandon Knight has tackle guard flexibility. So what do you

714
00:34:56,320 --> 00:35:01,200
Speaker 1: think is more important? I don't know. I would probably

715
00:35:02,400 --> 00:35:04,319
Speaker 1: I like having ran a nine on the team. I

716
00:35:04,360 --> 00:35:07,920
Speaker 1: think I like him more than most people do. I

717
00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:10,400
Speaker 1: think he's just got good position flex and I would

718
00:35:10,640 --> 00:35:12,400
Speaker 1: keep him. I think, Sorry, I can be on the

719
00:35:12,400 --> 00:35:14,560
Speaker 1: practice squad. So let's say right now we hit we're

720
00:35:14,600 --> 00:35:20,080
Speaker 1: at nine, and that includes the five starters plus McGovern, Insecky, Steele,

721
00:35:20,239 --> 00:35:22,680
Speaker 1: and Ball, and then we'll put on the maybe list

722
00:35:22,960 --> 00:35:25,000
Speaker 1: night in Farniac and we'll come back to them once

723
00:35:25,080 --> 00:35:27,600
Speaker 1: we get through. All right, So right now, if you

724
00:35:27,600 --> 00:35:30,080
Speaker 1: look at the offense and the specialists, we're up to

725
00:35:30,400 --> 00:35:35,239
Speaker 1: seven twelve fifteen. We're at twenty four players, all right,

726
00:35:35,320 --> 00:35:38,799
Speaker 1: twenty four players between the offensive players and the specialists

727
00:35:38,840 --> 00:35:40,520
Speaker 1: that we have that we would say are on the team.

728
00:35:40,560 --> 00:35:43,160
Speaker 1: All right, perfectly, as we're trying to go, you want

729
00:35:43,360 --> 00:35:47,160
Speaker 1: numbers on defense. Ye, all right, so we're at twenty four.

730
00:35:47,400 --> 00:35:49,319
Speaker 1: All right, so let's start with the defense. Let's go

731
00:35:49,440 --> 00:35:53,960
Speaker 1: defensive end. There are four Definance, Lawrence, Gregory, bash Him,

732
00:35:54,360 --> 00:36:00,000
Speaker 1: and Armstrong. What do you do with Chauncey Gholston, Oh,

733
00:36:00,120 --> 00:36:02,480
Speaker 1: stays on there. He's already on PUP. You don't tell

734
00:36:02,480 --> 00:36:05,720
Speaker 1: people what that means. Uh, as opposed to injured reserve.

735
00:36:05,880 --> 00:36:09,560
Speaker 1: PUP is short for physically unable to perform. Guys go

736
00:36:09,600 --> 00:36:11,399
Speaker 1: on it at the start of camp and if they're

737
00:36:11,400 --> 00:36:13,440
Speaker 1: still not ready, you know that you can take them

738
00:36:13,480 --> 00:36:17,319
Speaker 1: off PUP anytime during camp, no ceremony needed. And they've

739
00:36:17,360 --> 00:36:20,200
Speaker 1: done that with DeMarcus or Amari Cooper excuse me, no,

740
00:36:20,320 --> 00:36:23,520
Speaker 1: DeMarcus Lawrence too. Yeah, they've done that with those guys. Um,

741
00:36:23,520 --> 00:36:25,799
Speaker 1: when the season starts, if you're not ready to come off,

742
00:36:26,200 --> 00:36:29,640
Speaker 1: it's a six week designation. So if Chauncey is on

743
00:36:29,719 --> 00:36:31,560
Speaker 1: PUP to start the year, this applies to Tara Out

744
00:36:31,560 --> 00:36:34,480
Speaker 1: Tristan Hill as well, then you're you're down for six

745
00:36:34,719 --> 00:36:40,360
Speaker 1: Do you have to do anything? Roster? So so again,

746
00:36:40,520 --> 00:36:43,160
Speaker 1: you got those four, do you think then Bradley and

747
00:36:43,239 --> 00:36:45,960
Speaker 1: I are Rondale Carter make a point, Mammy, make a

748
00:36:45,960 --> 00:36:49,120
Speaker 1: case that they should be on the roster. I don't

749
00:36:49,160 --> 00:36:52,960
Speaker 1: think so. I just if you have it, that's fine.

750
00:36:53,160 --> 00:36:55,920
Speaker 1: I'm I would probably put both of them on the

751
00:36:55,920 --> 00:36:58,440
Speaker 1: practice squad. If you don't make them through, then it

752
00:36:58,640 --> 00:37:00,239
Speaker 1: is what it is. Yeah, I mean, I just I

753
00:37:00,280 --> 00:37:02,920
Speaker 1: haven't seen much. I mean, Bradley and I might have

754
00:37:02,960 --> 00:37:05,839
Speaker 1: a little more upside for you. But and Bradley and I,

755
00:37:06,239 --> 00:37:10,040
Speaker 1: they've both especially in the games, the game's more than practice.

756
00:37:10,120 --> 00:37:13,640
Speaker 1: They've they've shown out um Rondale Carter as well. I

757
00:37:13,680 --> 00:37:16,879
Speaker 1: think he's asked some pretty decent preseason games. It's just

758
00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:20,040
Speaker 1: it's the classic case of you know, do you overvalue

759
00:37:20,080 --> 00:37:22,080
Speaker 1: these guys because you spend a month watching them and

760
00:37:22,160 --> 00:37:24,720
Speaker 1: talking about him, and and I slipped in the draft

761
00:37:24,800 --> 00:37:26,719
Speaker 1: and he's you know, he's good value for where he

762
00:37:26,800 --> 00:37:29,719
Speaker 1: was taking. Does that Does that matter at this point?

763
00:37:29,760 --> 00:37:31,520
Speaker 1: I don't know. It reminds me of a guy named

764
00:37:31,600 --> 00:37:35,600
Speaker 1: Victor Butler who was here. But I remember, yeah, okay,

765
00:37:35,920 --> 00:37:37,800
Speaker 1: past was a little better than them, I think. But

766
00:37:39,200 --> 00:37:42,560
Speaker 1: take from Oregon State. Yeah, you know it's okay, you know,

767
00:37:42,600 --> 00:37:46,120
Speaker 1: it's pretty good at times, but not I think he

768
00:37:46,200 --> 00:37:49,200
Speaker 1: signed with the Saints and free agency sounds a lifetime ago.

769
00:37:49,200 --> 00:37:50,840
Speaker 1: When I was a Saints fan, you know, I was

770
00:37:50,920 --> 00:37:54,400
Speaker 1: lamber linebackers go to the Saints may do. Yeah, all right,

771
00:37:54,440 --> 00:37:57,600
Speaker 1: let's talk about the defensive tackle position. This one's interesting

772
00:37:57,680 --> 00:37:59,400
Speaker 1: just because you have some players who are on the

773
00:37:59,440 --> 00:38:01,400
Speaker 1: COVID list, you have some players are injured. You got

774
00:38:01,480 --> 00:38:05,279
Speaker 1: a player that's on PUP, Carlos Watkins, Neville Gallimore, Tristan Hill.

775
00:38:06,080 --> 00:38:08,319
Speaker 1: We know Osa Odigi Zua is going to be on

776
00:38:08,360 --> 00:38:10,439
Speaker 1: this team. What do you do with all those other

777
00:38:10,480 --> 00:38:12,920
Speaker 1: guys and how does that shake out for guys like Urban,

778
00:38:13,239 --> 00:38:16,440
Speaker 1: Bohannah and Justin Hamilton. Neville has to make it to

779
00:38:16,480 --> 00:38:19,399
Speaker 1: be put on. IR feel repetitive saying that, but so

780
00:38:19,480 --> 00:38:23,759
Speaker 1: he's got to be there initially, Watkins, Mike McCarthy said

781
00:38:23,840 --> 00:38:26,799
Speaker 1: last night, we're kind of ignoring the COVID thing. Yeah,

782
00:38:27,320 --> 00:38:30,520
Speaker 1: because Mike McCarthy said he expects everybody back by Thursday,

783
00:38:30,640 --> 00:38:32,960
Speaker 1: so which means they're probably gonna be on the roster

784
00:38:33,200 --> 00:38:36,480
Speaker 1: within the day or exactly. So whatever finagling they're gonna

785
00:38:36,520 --> 00:38:41,440
Speaker 1: do is not long term. So I think Watkins makes it.

786
00:38:41,960 --> 00:38:45,080
Speaker 1: I think Brent Urban makes it. Osa obviously makes it,

787
00:38:45,120 --> 00:38:48,400
Speaker 1: and Bohannah as well. So that's four, Well that's five

788
00:38:48,600 --> 00:38:52,160
Speaker 1: and then four when Gallimore goes to injured reserve. And

789
00:38:52,200 --> 00:38:54,799
Speaker 1: then I don't know, I feel like, oh, sorry not

790
00:38:54,840 --> 00:38:57,279
Speaker 1: to cut you off. We're probably not talking enough about

791
00:38:57,360 --> 00:38:59,800
Speaker 1: Justin Hamilton. Hamilton. I was about sat Phil like, Hamilton

792
00:39:00,120 --> 00:39:02,480
Speaker 1: is probably going to make it based off of his

793
00:39:02,640 --> 00:39:07,279
Speaker 1: body type and what Gallimore. Usually Gallimore will bring. I

794
00:39:07,360 --> 00:39:09,480
Speaker 1: think Justin Hamilton will make you played a lot in

795
00:39:09,480 --> 00:39:12,160
Speaker 1: that game yesterday, They'll played into the fourth quarter. Yeah,

796
00:39:12,200 --> 00:39:14,279
Speaker 1: they didn't have a lot of options, but I do

797
00:39:14,360 --> 00:39:18,080
Speaker 1: think he's probably I think he could make it. So

798
00:39:18,160 --> 00:39:20,400
Speaker 1: you guys are saying six, then a defensive tackle that

799
00:39:20,440 --> 00:39:24,680
Speaker 1: will be all DIGGI, Zua Urban, Will, Hannah, Watkins, Gallimore,

800
00:39:24,800 --> 00:39:29,719
Speaker 1: and then Hamilton's I just Hamilton because of Gallimore and

801
00:39:29,840 --> 00:39:34,080
Speaker 1: also Hamilton is a fourth year of veteran. He didn't

802
00:39:34,080 --> 00:39:36,919
Speaker 1: have to clear waivers. Ye, there's a cut bring back.

803
00:39:36,960 --> 00:39:39,120
Speaker 1: Here we go. So the number we want to go

804
00:39:39,160 --> 00:39:42,640
Speaker 1: with maybe is five, five, with the expectation that Gallimore

805
00:39:43,719 --> 00:39:46,560
Speaker 1: and yeah, the number five is the number. And then

806
00:39:46,719 --> 00:39:49,560
Speaker 1: did we did did we add a fifth defensive end

807
00:39:49,640 --> 00:39:52,840
Speaker 1: or no? No, we stuck with the four Lawrence, Gregory

808
00:39:52,920 --> 00:39:56,440
Speaker 1: Basham and Armstrong. I'm fine with nine, but when we

809
00:39:56,520 --> 00:39:58,319
Speaker 1: get to the end of all this, maybe we can

810
00:39:58,360 --> 00:40:00,279
Speaker 1: go back and add an end to their if we

811
00:40:00,280 --> 00:40:03,839
Speaker 1: weren't good linebackers. I think five or definites. We don't

812
00:40:03,880 --> 00:40:09,319
Speaker 1: need this, shouldn't need Smith Hu six, Luke Gifford as

813
00:40:09,320 --> 00:40:13,800
Speaker 1: your special teams guy. I can't imagine anything else. Francis

814
00:40:13,800 --> 00:40:19,040
Speaker 1: Bernard gone, yes, all right, he could theoretically go to pup,

815
00:40:19,120 --> 00:40:22,160
Speaker 1: couldn't he He was never taken. He didn't I believe

816
00:40:22,480 --> 00:40:24,960
Speaker 1: Wait practice the first day? Oh did he pray? Okay,

817
00:40:25,000 --> 00:40:27,680
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, never mind, all right, so cornerback. I got

818
00:40:27,719 --> 00:40:30,680
Speaker 1: six on my list as definites. See if you agree

819
00:40:30,719 --> 00:40:34,200
Speaker 1: with me, Anthony Brown, Jordan Lewis, Treyvon Digs, Kelvin, Joseph

820
00:40:34,360 --> 00:40:38,040
Speaker 1: Nashan n Sean Wright, and CJ. Goodwin. And then I said,

821
00:40:38,160 --> 00:40:40,560
Speaker 1: Maurice Kennedy, and I have an interesting question for you, guys.

822
00:40:41,120 --> 00:40:43,680
Speaker 1: Maurice Kennedy, I think was really good in Ox and Art.

823
00:40:43,960 --> 00:40:48,239
Speaker 1: I think he had some good early preseason games. Do

824
00:40:48,239 --> 00:40:49,960
Speaker 1: you think he's telled off a little bit or is

825
00:40:49,960 --> 00:40:51,920
Speaker 1: it just the nature of he just hasn't like he

826
00:40:51,960 --> 00:40:54,439
Speaker 1: hasn't had those big splash plays, but he's been fine

827
00:40:54,520 --> 00:40:56,600
Speaker 1: enough and he's gonna make this team regardless. Did he

828
00:40:56,640 --> 00:40:58,719
Speaker 1: tail off or did Jordan Lewis come back from a

829
00:40:58,760 --> 00:41:01,440
Speaker 1: hamstring and go back another starting lineup. I mean that's

830
00:41:01,440 --> 00:41:05,400
Speaker 1: where a lot of that opportunity came from. I haven't

831
00:41:05,440 --> 00:41:08,320
Speaker 1: noticed like a dip in his play. But that's training

832
00:41:08,360 --> 00:41:10,879
Speaker 1: camps funny, because like when we're out in Oxnard, we're

833
00:41:10,920 --> 00:41:15,280
Speaker 1: ten feet away, dialed in for everything, and then here

834
00:41:15,840 --> 00:41:19,880
Speaker 1: we're way up in the press box and the schedule changes,

835
00:41:19,920 --> 00:41:22,120
Speaker 1: and maybe we missed the first fifteen minutes because we

836
00:41:22,120 --> 00:41:24,880
Speaker 1: were on the show, or a press conference ran long,

837
00:41:25,520 --> 00:41:27,880
Speaker 1: or we got caught in an elevator with some fans,

838
00:41:27,960 --> 00:41:31,680
Speaker 1: Like you're just you're not as just completely dialed into

839
00:41:31,719 --> 00:41:34,759
Speaker 1: what's going on as you are in Oxnard. So that's

840
00:41:34,760 --> 00:41:37,520
Speaker 1: a long way of saying I haven't noticed a dip

841
00:41:37,560 --> 00:41:39,920
Speaker 1: in Kennedy's play. I just don't think he's getting as

842
00:41:39,960 --> 00:41:43,000
Speaker 1: many reps. Do you think he's definite to make this team?

843
00:41:43,040 --> 00:41:46,480
Speaker 1: I hesitate to say definite, but I would be surprised

844
00:41:46,520 --> 00:41:48,120
Speaker 1: if he's not. Do you want to put him one

845
00:41:48,160 --> 00:41:50,400
Speaker 1: year fifty three right now? Yeah, right, so we'll go

846
00:41:50,440 --> 00:41:53,439
Speaker 1: with seven. But that shouldn't be a name. I don't

847
00:41:53,480 --> 00:41:55,680
Speaker 1: think that should be a name that's just written in stone.

848
00:41:56,040 --> 00:41:59,720
Speaker 1: Do you all agree with that? Yeah? If the numbers

849
00:41:59,760 --> 00:42:03,720
Speaker 1: get tricky somewhere else, he might be a guy. Yeah, yeah,

850
00:42:03,760 --> 00:42:07,279
Speaker 1: but I think I'm putting him on the fifty three. Yeah,

851
00:42:07,080 --> 00:42:09,440
Speaker 1: he's got to be. It's weird. You got to think

852
00:42:09,440 --> 00:42:11,960
Speaker 1: about your forty six. If he's not on your forty

853
00:42:12,000 --> 00:42:14,720
Speaker 1: six to play, then he doesn't need to be there. Okay,

854
00:42:14,800 --> 00:42:16,920
Speaker 1: So but I think that's what they have to decide

855
00:42:17,040 --> 00:42:18,680
Speaker 1: where we're playing him in the game. Is he a

856
00:42:18,719 --> 00:42:20,480
Speaker 1: core special teams guy? To play him in the game.

857
00:42:20,520 --> 00:42:23,360
Speaker 1: I thought he would be that kind of guy. Okay,

858
00:42:23,400 --> 00:42:26,520
Speaker 1: all right, So let's go to then the safety position.

859
00:42:26,920 --> 00:42:32,320
Speaker 1: There are four definites that I think we all agree on, Wilson, Kazy, Hooker,

860
00:42:32,400 --> 00:42:36,200
Speaker 1: and Curse. The question becomes, has mcquomo done enough to

861
00:42:36,280 --> 00:42:39,319
Speaker 1: make the squad? Is Darian Thompson as a special team

862
00:42:39,400 --> 00:42:41,200
Speaker 1: or guy that's gonna make the squad? And getting you

863
00:42:41,239 --> 00:42:44,439
Speaker 1: to maybe six, let's put let's put six there. If

864
00:42:44,480 --> 00:42:46,399
Speaker 1: I'm speaking for you, just to kind of move us along,

865
00:42:46,480 --> 00:42:48,640
Speaker 1: let's put six I think mcquomo should make it. I

866
00:42:48,680 --> 00:42:50,960
Speaker 1: think they love Darion Thompson to the point where he can.

867
00:42:51,239 --> 00:42:53,360
Speaker 1: I feel like the way we've done with our numbers

868
00:42:53,440 --> 00:42:56,480
Speaker 1: right now, with the five receivers and the two backs

869
00:42:56,520 --> 00:42:59,560
Speaker 1: and the two quarters or do we say three quarterbacks?

870
00:43:00,080 --> 00:43:01,640
Speaker 1: Either way, I think I think we could go to

871
00:43:01,760 --> 00:43:03,959
Speaker 1: six safeties and just see where where do we stand?

872
00:43:04,040 --> 00:43:06,280
Speaker 1: All right, so we're now at twenty eight defensive players,

873
00:43:06,280 --> 00:43:08,400
Speaker 1: which gives us a total of fifty two. Okay, we

874
00:43:08,480 --> 00:43:10,840
Speaker 1: got one more player that we could. We kept every

875
00:43:10,880 --> 00:43:13,080
Speaker 1: safety in the world and still have a roster. I

876
00:43:13,160 --> 00:43:14,839
Speaker 1: still got one more roster. That's why you go light

877
00:43:14,880 --> 00:43:16,759
Speaker 1: on off. Then you could you hear your options? Nick,

878
00:43:17,000 --> 00:43:18,640
Speaker 1: you say it earlier. Do you go out and get

879
00:43:18,640 --> 00:43:21,799
Speaker 1: yourself a third quarterback? Maybe you spend it there? Okay, Um,

880
00:43:22,080 --> 00:43:24,719
Speaker 1: you could look at wide receiver and you could pick

881
00:43:24,800 --> 00:43:27,120
Speaker 1: up Malik Turner, as you guys did. That's the guy

882
00:43:27,160 --> 00:43:31,600
Speaker 1: you like. Um, you could go with third run. Another

883
00:43:32,160 --> 00:43:35,560
Speaker 1: third running back could be another option, another offensive lineman.

884
00:43:35,600 --> 00:43:39,320
Speaker 1: If you wanted to pick up Brandon Knight or bat Farniac. Um,

885
00:43:40,040 --> 00:43:43,879
Speaker 1: I think it would be uh for me. It would

886
00:43:43,880 --> 00:43:46,360
Speaker 1: probably do the quarterback I'd probably I'd probably get a

887
00:43:46,400 --> 00:43:49,520
Speaker 1: quarterback in here that can start start at the clock early,

888
00:43:49,719 --> 00:43:52,319
Speaker 1: start learning the offense a little bit, and uh, but

889
00:43:52,640 --> 00:43:55,200
Speaker 1: going with whoever they decide, if it's you know, if

890
00:43:55,239 --> 00:43:58,600
Speaker 1: it's heads Gilbert, tails crush and whatever they you know,

891
00:43:59,400 --> 00:44:00,960
Speaker 1: two out of three, I would go too. Out of three,

892
00:44:01,040 --> 00:44:03,399
Speaker 1: what would you spend the final pick, Dave, I would

893
00:44:03,440 --> 00:44:07,480
Speaker 1: either get I would either get Farniac or just another

894
00:44:07,520 --> 00:44:10,239
Speaker 1: offensive lineman who has some flexibility. If there's a better

895
00:44:10,239 --> 00:44:14,400
Speaker 1: option than Farniac available, that's fine, Or I like, there's

896
00:44:14,440 --> 00:44:17,440
Speaker 1: gotta be somebody's gonna cut a running back that's pretty

897
00:44:17,480 --> 00:44:20,799
Speaker 1: good right somewhere. And obviously the Cowboys don't need him

898
00:44:20,840 --> 00:44:23,640
Speaker 1: to play running back, but you can upgrade your special

899
00:44:23,680 --> 00:44:26,560
Speaker 1: teams and do a lot of fun stuff if you

900
00:44:26,560 --> 00:44:28,560
Speaker 1: get the right guy. So that's what I would probably

901
00:44:28,600 --> 00:44:31,040
Speaker 1: be looking at, Not a running back that's on this

902
00:44:31,040 --> 00:44:34,040
Speaker 1: team right now, but somebody else's guy. Okay, real quick,

903
00:44:34,040 --> 00:44:35,319
Speaker 1: before we end the show, I want to each you

904
00:44:35,320 --> 00:44:38,759
Speaker 1: guys to tell me one guy that it would be

905
00:44:38,800 --> 00:44:41,520
Speaker 1: a surprise to most fans, but you would not be

906
00:44:41,560 --> 00:44:44,160
Speaker 1: surprised if they end up not on this fifty three

907
00:44:44,160 --> 00:44:47,000
Speaker 1: man roster. I hate that question because then you're sitting

908
00:44:47,040 --> 00:44:49,080
Speaker 1: next to him on the bus going to Tampa. That's

909
00:44:49,080 --> 00:44:51,680
Speaker 1: what happens when you do that. I'm sorry. All right,

910
00:44:52,840 --> 00:44:56,000
Speaker 1: let's bring in a new looking new We want to

911
00:44:56,040 --> 00:44:58,239
Speaker 1: do the introductions first. Yeah. Well, I'm trying to like

912
00:44:58,360 --> 00:45:00,400
Speaker 1: not answer that question. Oh come on, don't be able.

913
00:45:02,040 --> 00:45:06,920
Speaker 1: Um okay this again. We just did it. The safety

914
00:45:06,960 --> 00:45:12,400
Speaker 1: thing is weird. Nobody keeps six safety a weird and

915
00:45:12,480 --> 00:45:14,560
Speaker 1: a lot of these guys are like clones of each other.

916
00:45:14,680 --> 00:45:17,800
Speaker 1: Jron Curse and Israel Mukuamo do the same thing. Darian

917
00:45:17,840 --> 00:45:20,480
Speaker 1: Thompson doesn't need to play safety, but he's a special

918
00:45:20,480 --> 00:45:24,839
Speaker 1: team's bossy. But surely somebody can do the special team stuff, right, Like,

919
00:45:24,920 --> 00:45:28,600
Speaker 1: you shouldn't be so important that your position is ironclad

920
00:45:28,680 --> 00:45:32,640
Speaker 1: specifically because of special teams. So, really, any of those

921
00:45:32,719 --> 00:45:35,920
Speaker 1: last three safeties on the depth chart, Curse, Thompson, Mukuamu,

922
00:45:36,800 --> 00:45:38,719
Speaker 1: it shouldn't be surprising if one of them's not here.

923
00:45:38,800 --> 00:45:40,560
Speaker 1: You don't, you don't need, and I don't. I don't

924
00:45:40,560 --> 00:45:42,399
Speaker 1: want any of them to get cut. I like them all.

925
00:45:42,480 --> 00:45:45,680
Speaker 1: I think Curse is a really underrated player. Israel has

926
00:45:45,719 --> 00:45:47,680
Speaker 1: done everything a six round pick should have to do

927
00:45:47,680 --> 00:45:50,080
Speaker 1: to make the team. But again, it just doesn't make sense.

928
00:45:50,280 --> 00:45:52,719
Speaker 1: Something's got to give there, or you would think that's

929
00:45:52,840 --> 00:45:55,560
Speaker 1: so that's my thought process. Yeah, I mean I agree

930
00:45:55,560 --> 00:45:58,400
Speaker 1: with those defensive backs something something that definitely has to

931
00:45:58,440 --> 00:46:02,040
Speaker 1: give and throw Kennedy in as well, because again, if

932
00:46:02,160 --> 00:46:06,160
Speaker 1: he was Guy Kennedy, because it's just like he he

933
00:46:06,280 --> 00:46:08,200
Speaker 1: played so great. But I don't know if you mean,

934
00:46:08,280 --> 00:46:10,759
Speaker 1: do you he's just like Darian Thompson when it comes

935
00:46:10,800 --> 00:46:13,760
Speaker 1: to the position they're going to play on kickoff return

936
00:46:13,880 --> 00:46:16,640
Speaker 1: or kickoff coverage or whatever. This isn't a knock on CJ.

937
00:46:16,760 --> 00:46:18,960
Speaker 1: Goodwin at all. He's very good at what he does.

938
00:46:19,040 --> 00:46:21,600
Speaker 1: But it is funny he's the last corner on the team.

939
00:46:21,719 --> 00:46:23,799
Speaker 1: You probably don't even consider him a corner. He's not.

940
00:46:23,920 --> 00:46:26,120
Speaker 1: He's not gonna even when everybody was hurt last year,

941
00:46:26,160 --> 00:46:27,800
Speaker 1: they were still not trying to have him on the

942
00:46:27,840 --> 00:46:30,080
Speaker 1: field too much. But when he got hurt at camp,

943
00:46:30,520 --> 00:46:32,480
Speaker 1: it just went in to like get ready for the

944
00:46:32,520 --> 00:46:36,120
Speaker 1: season mode, you know, And that's that's normal to see

945
00:46:36,160 --> 00:46:39,920
Speaker 1: from Dak. That's not normal. Seventh corner Barry some weight,

946
00:46:40,120 --> 00:46:42,000
Speaker 1: you know, even though they call him bones, he does

947
00:46:42,040 --> 00:46:44,759
Speaker 1: carry some weight, and he called him the ace of

948
00:46:44,800 --> 00:46:46,480
Speaker 1: the staff. So in that happen. And by the way,

949
00:46:46,560 --> 00:46:48,879
Speaker 1: let's also remember when it comes to special teams. Last year,

950
00:46:48,960 --> 00:46:51,040
Speaker 1: he in my opinion, was by far the best special

951
00:46:51,040 --> 00:46:53,560
Speaker 1: teams player you had. He wasn't involved in almost every

952
00:46:53,600 --> 00:46:56,160
Speaker 1: play you made on special team. He absolutely deserves to

953
00:46:56,200 --> 00:46:57,879
Speaker 1: be on the team and that that's the right way

954
00:46:57,880 --> 00:47:00,440
Speaker 1: to handle it. It's just funny to see that. You know,

955
00:47:00,480 --> 00:47:03,240
Speaker 1: that's the status that you typically reserve for star players,

956
00:47:03,360 --> 00:47:07,680
Speaker 1: not your seventh cornerback. Well, real quick, before we end

957
00:47:07,719 --> 00:47:09,640
Speaker 1: the show, we do need to welcome a new team

958
00:47:09,680 --> 00:47:12,279
Speaker 1: member to our team. I don't know that she'll be

959
00:47:12,320 --> 00:47:14,800
Speaker 1: on our show. I think we have another show planned

960
00:47:14,840 --> 00:47:17,680
Speaker 1: for her, but miss Britt Johnson, welcome to the team.

961
00:47:17,880 --> 00:47:19,640
Speaker 1: Thank you guys for having me. I was you guys

962
00:47:19,640 --> 00:47:21,719
Speaker 1: were arguing about that last roster pick, and I was like,

963
00:47:21,760 --> 00:47:28,439
Speaker 1: it's me. I got that spot. It was left roster claim.

964
00:47:28,600 --> 00:47:31,040
Speaker 1: Absolutely tell tell everybody a little bit about you, where

965
00:47:31,040 --> 00:47:32,960
Speaker 1: you come from and what you're gonna be doing. I

966
00:47:33,000 --> 00:47:36,480
Speaker 1: am Mcalie, grown from California. But you guys go to

967
00:47:36,560 --> 00:47:40,200
Speaker 1: Oxnard very often and there's a huge Cowboys fan base there.

968
00:47:40,200 --> 00:47:43,239
Speaker 1: I've been a Cowboys fan since birth. Basically my dad

969
00:47:43,320 --> 00:47:46,120
Speaker 1: was a fan. My grandma's cousins with Bob Hayes, so

970
00:47:46,280 --> 00:47:49,000
Speaker 1: it was it runs in the family. So I am

971
00:47:49,040 --> 00:47:51,480
Speaker 1: super excited. This is my dream job. I'm so happy

972
00:47:51,480 --> 00:47:53,160
Speaker 1: to be here, and I don't really feel like I'm

973
00:47:53,160 --> 00:47:57,239
Speaker 1: going to be working ever, because I I debate Cowboys

974
00:47:57,280 --> 00:48:01,480
Speaker 1: and in bars for free or in you know, games

975
00:48:01,520 --> 00:48:03,359
Speaker 1: and stuff for free, and now I get to get

976
00:48:03,400 --> 00:48:05,680
Speaker 1: paid to do that. That's Yeah. Once you take that

977
00:48:05,760 --> 00:48:07,960
Speaker 1: step up to just getting paid to do what you

978
00:48:08,000 --> 00:48:11,960
Speaker 1: typically do on the weekends, fantastic. Yeah. So you were

979
00:48:12,000 --> 00:48:14,080
Speaker 1: back on the other side there listening to some of this.

980
00:48:14,160 --> 00:48:16,200
Speaker 1: I mean, do you have some opinions on this roster?

981
00:48:16,440 --> 00:48:18,120
Speaker 1: And I mean, I know you've kind of been watching

982
00:48:18,160 --> 00:48:19,680
Speaker 1: from afar a little bit. I want to pitch on

983
00:48:19,719 --> 00:48:22,480
Speaker 1: the spot, but like about just forget the roster, how

984
00:48:22,480 --> 00:48:25,560
Speaker 1: about just the overall assessment of where you think this

985
00:48:25,600 --> 00:48:29,040
Speaker 1: team is getting into the regular season. I guess I'm

986
00:48:29,040 --> 00:48:30,919
Speaker 1: really glad that we had that Hall of Fame game,

987
00:48:30,960 --> 00:48:32,719
Speaker 1: to have that fourth game, because I feel like we

988
00:48:32,840 --> 00:48:34,400
Speaker 1: really needed it, because I do feel like there are

989
00:48:34,440 --> 00:48:37,719
Speaker 1: a lot of pieces that aren't there yet, Like even

990
00:48:37,960 --> 00:48:41,520
Speaker 1: even yesterday watching the quarterback situation flip again and we're

991
00:48:41,560 --> 00:48:43,719
Speaker 1: like wondering, Okay, I thought we liked to coup rush,

992
00:48:43,760 --> 00:48:45,520
Speaker 1: but maybe we like double g again, like you know,

993
00:48:45,600 --> 00:48:47,640
Speaker 1: stuff like that. I'm really glad we had that fourth

994
00:48:47,680 --> 00:48:50,240
Speaker 1: game to kind of help the coaches kind of figure

995
00:48:50,239 --> 00:48:51,879
Speaker 1: this out, or the GM and stuff kind of figure

996
00:48:51,920 --> 00:48:55,319
Speaker 1: all this stuff out. I don't. I think you guys

997
00:48:55,320 --> 00:48:58,120
Speaker 1: had good assessments on stuff, but there's pieces that I

998
00:48:58,120 --> 00:49:00,880
Speaker 1: don't even know. And in those lineback packers and stuff

999
00:49:00,880 --> 00:49:02,480
Speaker 1: like who do you get rid of? Do you get

1000
00:49:02,600 --> 00:49:05,600
Speaker 1: rid of any of them? Um? The weird with all

1001
00:49:05,640 --> 00:49:11,160
Speaker 1: the safeties, Yes, that's another weird weird it's real weird. Yeah,

1002
00:49:11,200 --> 00:49:14,399
Speaker 1: that's another thing. And then um, I think you kind

1003
00:49:14,400 --> 00:49:18,240
Speaker 1: of wrote about it. The fullback. Do we keep the fullback?

1004
00:49:18,239 --> 00:49:20,280
Speaker 1: Do we let him go? Like I think that's another

1005
00:49:20,320 --> 00:49:23,120
Speaker 1: big thing that I'm kind of up in the air about.

1006
00:49:23,120 --> 00:49:26,200
Speaker 1: It is because McCarthy's teams have always sort of had that,

1007
00:49:26,280 --> 00:49:29,239
Speaker 1: but he they don't really have that, that true full band.

1008
00:49:29,239 --> 00:49:30,839
Speaker 1: He also had a really good one. They're in green

1009
00:49:31,040 --> 00:49:32,360
Speaker 1: right then that might have been the reason why I

1010
00:49:32,400 --> 00:49:35,320
Speaker 1: had him, you know, if if he was with the Cowboys,

1011
00:49:35,320 --> 00:49:36,960
Speaker 1: the Cowboys would have had a fullback, you know, because

1012
00:49:37,000 --> 00:49:38,719
Speaker 1: he was a really good player, kind of different than

1013
00:49:39,040 --> 00:49:41,040
Speaker 1: what most of the team does, most of the league

1014
00:49:41,040 --> 00:49:43,200
Speaker 1: does at that position. If Shewo was healthy, I think

1015
00:49:43,200 --> 00:49:47,440
Speaker 1: you'd be on this team too, But he's not. Alana Lua, Well,

1016
00:49:47,560 --> 00:49:53,080
Speaker 1: what got into just when you figured out they're gonna

1017
00:49:53,160 --> 00:49:56,760
Speaker 1: claim another guy and it'll be a hope, it'll be hopeless.

1018
00:49:56,800 --> 00:50:00,239
Speaker 1: It'll take you. The rest of them will be no. Well,

1019
00:50:00,239 --> 00:50:03,000
Speaker 1: welcome to the team, Britt. We're very, very very happy

1020
00:50:03,000 --> 00:50:05,080
Speaker 1: to have you on the team. And y'all check her out.

1021
00:50:05,120 --> 00:50:06,680
Speaker 1: I think we're gonna have her go and sit in

1022
00:50:06,719 --> 00:50:08,560
Speaker 1: with the players lounge. I think that's gonna be a

1023
00:50:08,600 --> 00:50:10,879
Speaker 1: good fit for her initially. But you guys are gonna

1024
00:50:10,880 --> 00:50:12,960
Speaker 1: see her all over all of our stuff. You'll see

1025
00:50:13,000 --> 00:50:14,960
Speaker 1: her doing a lot of different things with us. So

1026
00:50:15,360 --> 00:50:17,319
Speaker 1: for Nick Gaming, for Dave Helmet, for brit Johnson, this

1027
00:50:17,360 --> 00:50:19,640
Speaker 1: is Derek Eagleton has been you've been live on the

1028
00:50:19,719 --> 00:50:23,239
Speaker 1: break from the SWBC Mortgage studio at the start. We'll

1029
00:50:23,280 --> 00:50:26,680
Speaker 1: be back on next I'm sorry, on Wednesday, and Wednesday

1030
00:50:26,680 --> 00:50:29,240
Speaker 1: we'll start getting ready for Cowboys versus Bucks on Wednesday.

1031
00:50:29,280 --> 00:50:33,719
Speaker 1: Till then we'll check you guys later. This has been

1032
00:50:33,719 --> 00:50:36,960
Speaker 1: a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com and the Dallas

1033
00:50:36,960 --> 00:50:38,200
Speaker 1: Cowboys Football Club.
