00:00:04,320 --> 00:00:06,920
Speaker 1: The following is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com

2
00:00:06,920 --> 00:00:19,040
Speaker 1: and the Dallas Cowboys Football clubs. Are you ready for

3
00:00:19,079 --> 00:00:22,759
Speaker 1: a break? Yes? Are you ready for a break? Absolutely?

4
00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:27,080
Speaker 1: Ready for a break? Yeah? And so much for that.

5
00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:32,480
Speaker 1: It's time for the Break on Dallas Cowboys dot Com

6
00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:39,800
Speaker 1: with Nick Eatman, David Hellman, and bar Garcia and Derek Eagleton. Hello, Hello,

7
00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:43,240
Speaker 1: welcome back, guys. Derek is not here. I'm hosting today.

8
00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:45,960
Speaker 1: We have Nick and Dave. We're gonna jump right into

9
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:49,280
Speaker 1: the show because we are gonna try to do the

10
00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:52,280
Speaker 1: whole roster cuts in like thirty five minutes. We're gonna

11
00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:57,120
Speaker 1: go somewhat somewhat okay party. So we're gonna apply while

12
00:00:57,120 --> 00:01:01,279
Speaker 1: we saw in yesterday's game and he who kind of

13
00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:04,160
Speaker 1: finally sealed the deal to make their case for making

14
00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:08,320
Speaker 1: the team and who automatically just finally cut themselves out.

15
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:11,800
Speaker 1: Let's start off with the quarterback position within c Cooper

16
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:14,920
Speaker 1: Rush last night. But we did get to see Mike. Why.

17
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:19,720
Speaker 1: Seems like Garrett has been given him opportunities after opportunities

18
00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:23,240
Speaker 1: to make, you know, put some good film out there,

19
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:25,400
Speaker 1: but he hasn't been the case. So where do you guys,

20
00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:29,840
Speaker 1: feel that he stands as of right now. I just

21
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:32,160
Speaker 1: I mean, I think we said last week you can

22
00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:34,880
Speaker 1: never rule anything out, and you don't know for sure

23
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:37,759
Speaker 1: because these coaches get in rooms and they have beliefs

24
00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:40,520
Speaker 1: and biases. But based on what we have seen on

25
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:43,920
Speaker 1: the field, I just don't know how you could justify that. Nope.

26
00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:47,960
Speaker 1: I mean Taren Christian got here two days before camp

27
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:52,080
Speaker 1: and looked better in his brief audition in the fourth

28
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:55,240
Speaker 1: preseason game. The throw over the middle of Cedric Wilson

29
00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:58,960
Speaker 1: right before halftime. Cedric Wilson, you know, it would have

30
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:01,440
Speaker 1: been a really tough catch for him, but he's coming

31
00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:04,800
Speaker 1: across the field, Mike White, there's the window there. He

32
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:07,120
Speaker 1: just missed him. I mean, he threw it too far

33
00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:09,120
Speaker 1: and in front of him. You got to make that

34
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:12,680
Speaker 1: throws a that's an NFL type throw, and he just

35
00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:16,119
Speaker 1: hasn't made those plays at all. I hate to simplify

36
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:19,120
Speaker 1: it too much, but it seems like he struggles with anticipation,

37
00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:21,560
Speaker 1: like the classic like waiting for the guy to be

38
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:24,080
Speaker 1: open instead of anticipating that he's going to be open.

39
00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:27,760
Speaker 1: He never seems comfortable in the pocket, and the offense

40
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:30,840
Speaker 1: just doesn't move when he's in there. With the exception

41
00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:33,160
Speaker 1: of last week against Houston, he let him right down

42
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:35,680
Speaker 1: the field. That's one time out of I don't know

43
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:39,839
Speaker 1: twelve preseason possessions. You don't have to keep him. I mean,

44
00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:42,959
Speaker 1: like you, you're about at some point you're going to

45
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:46,160
Speaker 1: sign your franchise quarterback to be here for a while.

46
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:51,120
Speaker 1: Cooper Rush has has looked really good for that role.

47
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:55,359
Speaker 1: I think he has kind of developed into a solid backup.

48
00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:59,240
Speaker 1: And it's okay if you're a fifth round pick from

49
00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:02,280
Speaker 1: last year just isn't good enough. I mean, draft another

50
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:04,359
Speaker 1: one next year if you need to, and see if

51
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:06,359
Speaker 1: he can be better than Cooper Rush. I'm sure it's

52
00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:08,520
Speaker 1: a bummer for them because Mike White is on a

53
00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:11,600
Speaker 1: rookie four year deal like Cooper Rush, they'll have to

54
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:14,400
Speaker 1: deal with He's a restricted free agent in the offseason.

55
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:16,520
Speaker 1: So it would have been easier if White was the

56
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 1: better quarterback, but he just hasn't been. Not Maybe practice

57
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:23,920
Speaker 1: squad if he makes it. Yeah, I'm actually I'm gonna publish.

58
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:26,760
Speaker 1: I'm gonna publish a story later today about the practice squad.

59
00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:29,440
Speaker 1: And I mean there's two quarterbacks on this roster who

60
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:32,680
Speaker 1: could who could conceivably be on the practice squad, and

61
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:35,400
Speaker 1: it's for two different reasons. Like, if White is on there,

62
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:38,280
Speaker 1: it's to continue to develop as a quarterback. If tarn

63
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:40,120
Speaker 1: Christian is on there, it's because he can do about

64
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:43,040
Speaker 1: ten different jobs. I'll be interested to see you can run.

65
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:45,520
Speaker 1: That was not I mean, I was impressed with some

66
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:47,520
Speaker 1: of the things that I saw. I didn't expected from him.

67
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:49,400
Speaker 1: I thought he was one of the handful of most

68
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:53,480
Speaker 1: impressive players from last night's game. Yeah, well, we'll see

69
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:57,720
Speaker 1: what happens there with him. Obviously, Cooper Rush ended up

70
00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:00,200
Speaker 1: making his case to be the backup as a right

71
00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:03,320
Speaker 1: now unless something crazy happens to Dak later on, But

72
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:05,760
Speaker 1: we won't get to that now. Moving on to the

73
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:10,600
Speaker 1: running back spots. What happens here, you know, let's start

74
00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:13,120
Speaker 1: off with Jerry Jones and his comments last night. He

75
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:16,039
Speaker 1: talked to the media for a pretty long period of time.

76
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:20,120
Speaker 1: He will forever. I thought there was something major going on,

77
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:22,920
Speaker 1: But I mean, it's still kind of the same thing,

78
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:27,640
Speaker 1: the saying that the Cowboys are gonna be preparing as

79
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:30,479
Speaker 1: if Sig wasn't here, you know, just gonna prepare for

80
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:33,560
Speaker 1: all case scenarios and be ready it's kind of going

81
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:36,240
Speaker 1: back and forth because I feel like, after hearing what

82
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:40,479
Speaker 1: he initially said on the fan before the luncheon, was like, Okay,

83
00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:43,760
Speaker 1: as long as we have him for the playoffs type

84
00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:47,159
Speaker 1: of stuff, will be good to go. When he's coming

85
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:50,400
Speaker 1: back fresh with fresh leg, he's gonna be unstoppable. Now

86
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:53,479
Speaker 1: when he goes to the luncheon, it's like, we're gonna

87
00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:56,240
Speaker 1: have him on the field, And you start getting the

88
00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:59,839
Speaker 1: impression that maybe something changed here, maybe they're getting closer

89
00:04:59,880 --> 00:05:03,200
Speaker 1: to a deal, and then last night you go back to, well,

90
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:07,760
Speaker 1: we have to prepare without him. Yeah, I think you

91
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:10,000
Speaker 1: got to remember, and we say this all the time,

92
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:13,719
Speaker 1: that there's some negotiating going on here through the media

93
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:16,120
Speaker 1: and so some that's why there's some back and forth.

94
00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:20,839
Speaker 1: But you'd be foolish to say we're gonna we're preparing

95
00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:23,279
Speaker 1: to have him, you know. I mean, yeah, at this

96
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:25,960
Speaker 1: point in the game, you have to be prepared not

97
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:29,520
Speaker 1: for him not to be here. But I don't know,

98
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:31,200
Speaker 1: I don't know where I stand on it. I still

99
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:33,359
Speaker 1: just have this feeling that he's gonna be here, but

100
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:36,240
Speaker 1: you're running out of time for him to be here

101
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:38,920
Speaker 1: and be ready. So how does this affect the roster

102
00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:41,880
Speaker 1: as far as the running back position, there's two ways

103
00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:44,760
Speaker 1: to look at it. As of right now, Zeke doesn't

104
00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:47,159
Speaker 1: count toward the ninety or the fifty three. Like it's

105
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:50,080
Speaker 1: he he might as well not exist for the purposes

106
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:52,159
Speaker 1: of cutting the roster, like he might as well not

107
00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:53,680
Speaker 1: even be a member of the team because he's not

108
00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:57,760
Speaker 1: right now, so they're gonna cut to fifty three. Zeke

109
00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:01,279
Speaker 1: has nothing to do with it. Who you're backs, Tony

110
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:06,320
Speaker 1: Pollard's gonna make it, Jameazola Wally's gonna make it. And

111
00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:09,960
Speaker 1: then now Jordan Chun, we got to figure out what's

112
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:13,000
Speaker 1: wrong with his ribs. But between special teams and backup duty,

113
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:15,920
Speaker 1: like I give him of the trio of Chun, Darius

114
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:18,880
Speaker 1: Jackson and Mike Webber, I give him the nod as

115
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:21,880
Speaker 1: the third. And then if Zeke's not here, you probably

116
00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:25,080
Speaker 1: hold on to Alfred Morris, or you can cut him

117
00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:27,599
Speaker 1: and just go with three running backs for the time

118
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:29,800
Speaker 1: being to make room for somebody else that you want

119
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:31,920
Speaker 1: to get onto the roster. Because as a vested veteran,

120
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:35,279
Speaker 1: Alfred Morris does not have to he's not subject to waivers.

121
00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:38,680
Speaker 1: You can cut him Saturday, resign him on Monday. You

122
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:42,240
Speaker 1: could tell him that today, like, hey, we're gonna cut you, sorry,

123
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:44,200
Speaker 1: and then we're gonna resign you that way, And the

124
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:47,080
Speaker 1: salary's not guaranteed for the season. And to do that

125
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:49,440
Speaker 1: it would be because of a guy like Luke Gifford

126
00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:52,360
Speaker 1: or somebody like any It could be for any young

127
00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:54,760
Speaker 1: guy that you feel good about, like well, like Luke

128
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:57,040
Speaker 1: Gifford is a great example, because you don't want to

129
00:06:57,040 --> 00:06:59,080
Speaker 1: subject him to waivers. You have to have him here

130
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:01,240
Speaker 1: for a day to put him on, to put him

131
00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:04,120
Speaker 1: on IR. So you keep Gifford and cut Morris. You

132
00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:07,720
Speaker 1: send Gifford to IR on Sunday, you resign Morris. Don't

133
00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:10,440
Speaker 1: know if that's going to happen. Brian brought Us is

134
00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:13,000
Speaker 1: convinced that they might carry Gifford because his injury is

135
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:15,640
Speaker 1: not that bad. That's it's all stuff that we don't know.

136
00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:18,640
Speaker 1: But it's gonna be some sort of moving puzzle pieces.

137
00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:22,160
Speaker 1: If Zeke's not here, I do think your running backs

138
00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:25,040
Speaker 1: for week one would be Alfred Morris, Tony Pollard, probably

139
00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:28,200
Speaker 1: Jordan Chunn and jamaz Ol While Yeah and if when

140
00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:31,080
Speaker 1: or if Zeke comes back, Yeah, what happens, then what

141
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:33,360
Speaker 1: do you do without Fred? Do you still keep him?

142
00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:38,400
Speaker 1: I think you find out how ready Zeke is to play. Yeah,

143
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:40,760
Speaker 1: it's a good point. Maybe if he's you know, if

144
00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:44,080
Speaker 1: he's not in football shape, then you know, you probably

145
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:46,120
Speaker 1: do need to keep Alfred Morris there. Maybe you go

146
00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:48,960
Speaker 1: longer at another position, maybe you keep him on. Maybe

147
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:51,520
Speaker 1: you cut Jordan Chun at that point, maybe you cut Morris,

148
00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:52,920
Speaker 1: but I think it has to you have to find

149
00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:55,720
Speaker 1: out when he comes back, what is he able to do?

150
00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:59,840
Speaker 1: So who who would be the guy right behind Zeke,

151
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:02,240
Speaker 1: because based on what we've seen in the preseason, it

152
00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:06,840
Speaker 1: seems like they're leaning tours more with Tony Pollard rather

153
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:10,040
Speaker 1: than Alfred Morris, who we thought would be the main

154
00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:14,280
Speaker 1: guy because of his experience. I think Pollard would start

155
00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:16,600
Speaker 1: and I think that Morris would come in and spell him.

156
00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:18,840
Speaker 1: That's what I think would happen. I think Alfred Morris

157
00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:23,080
Speaker 1: is just a very experienced security blanket, you know, like

158
00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:26,280
Speaker 1: he's there, you know he can do it. But from

159
00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:28,480
Speaker 1: what we've seen of Tony Pollard, I would expect him

160
00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:30,280
Speaker 1: to be out there for the first snap of the

161
00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:33,480
Speaker 1: Giants game. If he's not here all right, Well, let's

162
00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:36,760
Speaker 1: move on to the wide receivers here. This is going

163
00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:39,800
Speaker 1: to be interesting because we have these two guys that

164
00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:43,000
Speaker 1: have been battling for a spot, Cedric Wilson and also

165
00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:47,120
Speaker 1: Devin Smith. Who makes it or do they end up

166
00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:49,760
Speaker 1: keeping both of them? What happens here? And also when

167
00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:53,280
Speaker 1: you apply what's going on with Noah Brown, Yeah, what

168
00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:55,240
Speaker 1: I believe is going to happen with Noah Brown is

169
00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:59,280
Speaker 1: I think he'll go to He'll stay on PUP, which

170
00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:01,720
Speaker 1: means he'll he'll be there for six weeks at least,

171
00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:05,800
Speaker 1: So I don't think he's even part of the equation.

172
00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:08,840
Speaker 1: I think the way you could see how Devin Smith

173
00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:12,400
Speaker 1: was out of the game in the second half with

174
00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:16,200
Speaker 1: Cedric Wilson out there running around, I believe that Devin

175
00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:18,839
Speaker 1: Smith now has elevated himself over him and he made

176
00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:21,600
Speaker 1: a nice play on special teams, which would that's important.

177
00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:24,640
Speaker 1: So I think at this point Devin Smith makes it.

178
00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:28,840
Speaker 1: Cedric Wilson's going to be bubble with other positions. I

179
00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:32,040
Speaker 1: think Devin the thing that works in his favor is

180
00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:36,320
Speaker 1: he's a good insurance policy as your ex or zy receiver.

181
00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:39,439
Speaker 1: If you know, Mary Cooper's dealing with Planter for schitis

182
00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:42,600
Speaker 1: or whatever it is. So if one of those guys

183
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:44,240
Speaker 1: gets hurt, he can play the outside. I don't like

184
00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:47,560
Speaker 1: with Noah Brown being out, who else can step up

185
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:50,600
Speaker 1: and do that for you, Like Cedric is, he's done

186
00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:52,720
Speaker 1: most of his work on the inside. It feels like

187
00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:55,160
Speaker 1: I almost thought he was going to get injured last

188
00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:58,920
Speaker 1: night because watching from the sideline, No Cedric, because watching

189
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:02,240
Speaker 1: from the sideline, towards the second half of the game,

190
00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:05,800
Speaker 1: his feet just like wobbling, like they kept wobbling, and

191
00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:07,960
Speaker 1: it was it was weird, like I just I know

192
00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:10,640
Speaker 1: exactly it's like almost breaking. I don't know how many

193
00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:13,120
Speaker 1: plays that happened, but I know exactly one of them.

194
00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:14,680
Speaker 1: And it was very late in the game when he

195
00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:17,040
Speaker 1: caught one over the middle and he it was almost

196
00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:18,280
Speaker 1: like he didn't know did he want to go out

197
00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:19,920
Speaker 1: of bound, would go up field or whatever? And he

198
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:21,720
Speaker 1: was it was like that, it was like he was

199
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:24,160
Speaker 1: it was a little hesitant. I just don't think he's

200
00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:27,320
Speaker 1: ready now. John Vay Johnson had a pretty nice game

201
00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:31,640
Speaker 1: before he got hurt. We got his shoulder reaggravated, and

202
00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:34,520
Speaker 1: you know, if you make a catch and make two

203
00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:36,520
Speaker 1: guys miss and turn up the field and go eighty

204
00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:38,719
Speaker 1: yards and run by people and stiff arm people in

205
00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:41,440
Speaker 1: the end zone. That probably puts you on the practice squad.

206
00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:44,160
Speaker 1: I mean, well that was j okay, just making sure

207
00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:47,040
Speaker 1: because you said John Bay John Vay played well, then

208
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:50,480
Speaker 1: Jalen Guyton because I'm thinking practice squad. Sorry, yeah, I'm thinking,

209
00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:53,360
Speaker 1: all right, well guy, you gotta put him on the

210
00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:56,199
Speaker 1: practice squad. Everything I'm not. I'm not letting if a

211
00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:58,200
Speaker 1: guy can do that. Sorry. If a guy can do that,

212
00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:01,760
Speaker 1: he's making the practice squad for me. Well you're you

213
00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:03,680
Speaker 1: kind of said I'm not letting him get away, but

214
00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:06,000
Speaker 1: by putting him on the practice squad, you risk letting

215
00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:09,040
Speaker 1: him get away. True, but if someone takes him for that, no,

216
00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:11,040
Speaker 1: I love to him. I tend to agree with you,

217
00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:16,440
Speaker 1: like he showed off exactly why he's here with that play. Yeah,

218
00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:19,160
Speaker 1: I don't know if they keep six receivers. I think

219
00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:23,160
Speaker 1: it'll be Devin and Cedric. I'm not convinced they need six.

220
00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:27,080
Speaker 1: No offense to those guys, but but who knows. So

221
00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:29,920
Speaker 1: here's a question that I've been seen from fans in

222
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:34,400
Speaker 1: riards to Noah Brown, Why are the Cowboys so tied

223
00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:37,800
Speaker 1: up with him and wanting to keep him despite the

224
00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:40,520
Speaker 1: fact that we haven't necessarily seen much from him on

225
00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:43,959
Speaker 1: the field. They just love his body type that They

226
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:46,320
Speaker 1: love the fact that he's a big, physical receiver. They

227
00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:50,080
Speaker 1: feel like he can be versatile in ways where he

228
00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:53,120
Speaker 1: can do things you would love an athletic tight end

229
00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:55,880
Speaker 1: to be able to do. So when he's out there,

230
00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:59,600
Speaker 1: can he go deep? Yes? Can he also motion in here?

231
00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:02,319
Speaker 1: And it's not his strength, but he can do it.

232
00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:04,680
Speaker 1: I mean it might not be his strength, but he's

233
00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:06,360
Speaker 1: better at it than the rest of these guys. Like

234
00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:09,960
Speaker 1: they love him because he can motion in from outside

235
00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:13,200
Speaker 1: and crack the defensive end or the linebacker and give

236
00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:16,480
Speaker 1: Zeke or whoever else Elaine on the outside. Like that's

237
00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:18,040
Speaker 1: why they like him. And he plays a bunch of

238
00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:21,319
Speaker 1: special teams. It's always hurt, which maybe you shouldn't play

239
00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:23,720
Speaker 1: him though. Way I actually I actually talked to Noah

240
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:25,640
Speaker 1: last night. He was just sitting there and I was like, well,

241
00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:27,240
Speaker 1: this might be the last time I see him for

242
00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:30,280
Speaker 1: a while, which he I mean, which I thought it

243
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:31,680
Speaker 1: was kind of weird. He was like, you know, as

244
00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:33,839
Speaker 1: much as I do, I really like I don't know

245
00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:36,520
Speaker 1: if I'm gonna be here. I was like, they're gonna

246
00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:38,240
Speaker 1: put you on PUP. He was like, I really don't know.

247
00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:40,760
Speaker 1: They haven't told me anything. I was like, why, Like,

248
00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:43,160
Speaker 1: why haven't they told you anything? They want him to

249
00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:45,600
Speaker 1: try to get you know, rehab and get better. He did.

250
00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:46,920
Speaker 1: I thought he made a good point. He was like,

251
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:49,480
Speaker 1: obviously as frustrating, this is my second training camp in

252
00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:52,160
Speaker 1: a row where I haven't really had a chance to

253
00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:54,319
Speaker 1: get out there. But and he was like, but you know,

254
00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:56,679
Speaker 1: I thought I made a good accounting him myself when

255
00:12:56,679 --> 00:12:58,920
Speaker 1: I got healthy last year. And hopefully they remember, Dave,

256
00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:01,040
Speaker 1: You're a people person. You know how to talk to people.

257
00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:03,880
Speaker 1: And I would imagine that conversation went differently than you

258
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:05,600
Speaker 1: going up going I don't know when I'm gonna see

259
00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:08,280
Speaker 1: you again. I didn't know. I said, hey, you got

260
00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:11,520
Speaker 1: a minute, Like I'm just curious, what's been going on? Right? No,

261
00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:14,360
Speaker 1: of course it was, but for us No. But I

262
00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:16,480
Speaker 1: was standing in the locker room and he was sitting

263
00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:18,040
Speaker 1: there on his phone. I was like, well, if I

264
00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:19,839
Speaker 1: don't talk to him right now and he goes on,

265
00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:22,920
Speaker 1: he'll either go on PUP and be with the injured

266
00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:26,000
Speaker 1: guys and never be around, or he'll be released and

267
00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:28,240
Speaker 1: I might not ever see him again, So no time,

268
00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:31,199
Speaker 1: Like the President, he'll be around. I think it's the same.

269
00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:33,800
Speaker 1: You know, people are like, well when only cut Randy Gregory,

270
00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:36,720
Speaker 1: Like why he doesn't he's not casting a roster spot,

271
00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:39,000
Speaker 1: Like the same thing with Noah Brown, Like he's clearly

272
00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:41,959
Speaker 1: he's not gonna make the fifty three. He hasn't practiced,

273
00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:44,480
Speaker 1: so if he goes on pup, he doesn't count toward

274
00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:47,000
Speaker 1: the roster. There's no downside to keeping him around. I

275
00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:52,120
Speaker 1: personally think, you know Tops, the three Tavans, the fourth.

276
00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:55,160
Speaker 1: We know the first two guys, and then I think

277
00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:57,800
Speaker 1: Devin Smith will be the five. If you need another guy,

278
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:01,319
Speaker 1: I would claim one. I just think there's going to

279
00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:03,520
Speaker 1: be well, that's another thing. Yeah, there's a better guy

280
00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:05,839
Speaker 1: out there than than Cedric Wilson. There's a better guy

281
00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:09,280
Speaker 1: out there than Devin Smith. Probably. Yeah. Interesting, it depends

282
00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:10,760
Speaker 1: on what you want him to do. But I just

283
00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:15,480
Speaker 1: feel like there's going to be a Cavon Frasian Cavon

284
00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:19,360
Speaker 1: Frasier version of a road receiver, A four year guy

285
00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:22,360
Speaker 1: good on special teams, and he can be better than

286
00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:25,520
Speaker 1: what you have. That's a fire point. Now let's let's

287
00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:27,760
Speaker 1: move on to the tight end position before we go

288
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:31,720
Speaker 1: into break. Witt and Jarwin Chultz boom again. What's thee

289
00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:36,000
Speaker 1: Are they gonna be ready to play that? Yeah, they're

290
00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:38,120
Speaker 1: ready to go. They're not ready right now. They will

291
00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:41,080
Speaker 1: be ready. They're fine keeping three. Marcus Lucas doesn't have

292
00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:45,560
Speaker 1: practice squad eligibility. I commend him. I don't see him

293
00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:48,080
Speaker 1: making the fifty three. I think Cody McElroy is an

294
00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:52,360
Speaker 1: interesting practice squad candidate. He's athletic, He's developed a lot

295
00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:54,560
Speaker 1: in not a lot of time. He's barely you know,

296
00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:56,320
Speaker 1: he hasn't played a ton of football in his career.

297
00:14:57,120 --> 00:15:00,480
Speaker 1: He's like I mean, he's kind of like Rico, except

298
00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:03,240
Speaker 1: I think he's progressed more in a shorter amount of time.

299
00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:05,400
Speaker 1: And I think they're intrigued by that. All right, well,

300
00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:08,160
Speaker 1: let's take our first break. When we come back, we'll

301
00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:11,360
Speaker 1: dive into the offensive line. What's going to happen there?

302
00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:13,280
Speaker 1: Who are they gonna keep? Who are they gonna let go?

303
00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:18,040
Speaker 1: Good on paper, it's one he's out on the field

304
00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:20,800
Speaker 1: that you really find out what he's made of. That's

305
00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:23,480
Speaker 1: why the Cowboys rely on more than just stats and

306

307

00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:22,960
Speaker 1: cuts prediction before the official one halse should be. I know,

341
00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:25,920
Speaker 1: well it'll be recorded, trying to always go back to

342
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:30,240
Speaker 1: the website. All right, Well, let's dive into the offensive line.

343
00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:32,600
Speaker 1: We know the starters who the starter is gonna be,

344
00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:35,520
Speaker 1: but who are they gonna keep as the backup in

345
00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:39,639
Speaker 1: how many guys Joe Looney, I think Sophilo makes it

346
00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:43,840
Speaker 1: and Cam Fleming that's eight eight, and then I think

347
00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:48,200
Speaker 1: Adam Redman probably he can play Guarden Center. He seemed

348
00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:50,159
Speaker 1: like he handled himself well last night. He got a

349
00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:55,200
Speaker 1: lot of snaps at center, you know. And and Connor McGovern.

350
00:17:55,359 --> 00:17:58,199
Speaker 1: I'm assuming we'll go to We'll go to IR, although

351
00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:01,679
Speaker 1: again to what happened to move to IR, he's got

352
00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:06,239
Speaker 1: to be there with he like reaggravated it. So there

353
00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:08,960
Speaker 1: were two practice days last week they put him out

354
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:10,679
Speaker 1: there to see, you know, how he'd hold up if

355
00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:13,040
Speaker 1: he could sort of get into the flow of it,

356
00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:15,800
Speaker 1: and he reaggravated it. I think he said last night

357
00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:17,879
Speaker 1: that he felt a pop while he was working and

358
00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:20,720
Speaker 1: it just you know, they tried and it didn't work out.

359
00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:23,920
Speaker 1: And don't know for sure, but I just I would

360
00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:26,159
Speaker 1: assume he would go to IR. Yeah. I don't know

361
00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:28,680
Speaker 1: why you have to have nine linemen, Like, why do

362
00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:30,760
Speaker 1: you have to have Adam Redman? You don't have to.

363
00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:34,440
Speaker 1: I just well, when your old line is so questionable

364
00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:37,000
Speaker 1: as far as injuries, I mean, we saw Sack Martin

365
00:18:37,119 --> 00:18:39,359
Speaker 1: go out last year. Several times and then you have

366
00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:43,399
Speaker 1: to start pluggining guys what filo. Also, when you have that,

367
00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:45,600
Speaker 1: when you have depth, I just think you should take

368
00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:47,560
Speaker 1: advantage of it. And Adam Redman, I mean, you know,

369
00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:50,480
Speaker 1: he's not Travis Frederick, but he's started games in the NFL,

370
00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:55,080
Speaker 1: he's been around. I think I would feel I mean,

371
00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:57,240
Speaker 1: i'd prefer Connor McGovern, but I'd feel fine if he

372
00:18:57,400 --> 00:19:00,040
Speaker 1: was there. Um, I mean, if you want to, I

373
00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:03,160
Speaker 1: just think if it gets really close to another position,

374
00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:06,040
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, get some of these young guys

375
00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:08,960
Speaker 1: on the practice squad to to help you practice with

376
00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:11,920
Speaker 1: your depth. But I just I don't know, I don't

377
00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:14,240
Speaker 1: know why you really have to have a ninth guy.

378
00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:16,359
Speaker 1: You definitely don't have to. But like I said, like

379
00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:18,840
Speaker 1: you've got a position of strength, why not take advantage

380
00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:20,680
Speaker 1: of it? And the reason why I kind of say

381
00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:25,200
Speaker 1: that is I think that, you know, Looney's almost like

382
00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:27,680
Speaker 1: having two guys. He's like he's a backup center and

383
00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:31,879
Speaker 1: he's a backup guard. So which I love. Zavier Suaphilo,

384
00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:34,840
Speaker 1: I know you do, great guy. I wonder you know.

385
00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:37,600
Speaker 1: Stephen Jones said on Wednesday that they've received phone calls

386
00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:41,480
Speaker 1: about their offensive and defensive lineman. I wonder if that's

387
00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:43,600
Speaker 1: a guy that you could maybe move for a draft

388
00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:46,920
Speaker 1: pick or something. Yeah, just you know, he's he's played

389
00:19:47,119 --> 00:19:50,120
Speaker 1: something to keep on now. I think something like that's

390
00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:53,080
Speaker 1: going to happen, because it almost always does. Typically the

391
00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:56,480
Speaker 1: Cowboys are the ones giving away a pick for a player,

392
00:19:57,200 --> 00:19:59,200
Speaker 1: but this year, maybe they give away a player for

393
00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:02,680
Speaker 1: a pick. This is a deep roster, so you don't

394
00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:05,560
Speaker 1: you don't have to keep nine alignment though. I just now,

395
00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:09,879
Speaker 1: I like the idea of having four capable backups if

396
00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:12,359
Speaker 1: something happens to one of the starters, right, because it

397
00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:16,000
Speaker 1: has with frequency over the last few years. Let's move

398
00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:21,920
Speaker 1: into something more complicated, the defensive line. What happens here? Oh,

399
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:24,960
Speaker 1: it's gonna be tough. It sucks. I don't know what

400
00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:26,879
Speaker 1: to do with it. I kind of feel like if

401
00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:29,440
Speaker 1: I if I were cutting the team, I would I

402
00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:32,719
Speaker 1: would do that last. I would just be like, all right,

403
00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:35,280
Speaker 1: do all these other things, and then get out to

404
00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:36,760
Speaker 1: the end and be like, okay, how many do I

405
00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:39,480
Speaker 1: have left? You have eleven? Okay, all right. It's still

406
00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:41,560
Speaker 1: gonna be tough, but at least I have that. I

407
00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:44,479
Speaker 1: think the report over the report of the last few

408
00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:46,640
Speaker 1: days was as few as eight or as many as ten.

409
00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:50,600
Speaker 1: I leaned toward ten ten. But then but then there's

410
00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:53,000
Speaker 1: there's all kinds of X factors. Literally while we've been

411
00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:54,920
Speaker 1: on this show, Jerry Jones went on one oh five

412
00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:57,439
Speaker 1: point three here in Dallas and said, Taco Charlton's going

413
00:20:57,480 --> 00:20:59,480
Speaker 1: to be on the team. It's not a surprise, but

414
00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:03,080
Speaker 1: there's a lot of speculation about him. Brian brought us

415
00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:05,760
Speaker 1: who Brian doesn't just throw a crap at the wall.

416
00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:08,159
Speaker 1: He's a pretty well informed guy. He said last night

417
00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:11,119
Speaker 1: that he thinks Daniel Ross might have an injury concern

418
00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:14,560
Speaker 1: that could wind put him on IR don't know, you know,

419
00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:16,680
Speaker 1: need to get more information on that. But again, like

420
00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:18,479
Speaker 1: I don't think Brian would just throw that out there,

421
00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:20,200
Speaker 1: willy nilly, all right. I think we can do this

422
00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:24,040
Speaker 1: because and also, and I talked to Stephen Jones yesterday.

423
00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:27,720
Speaker 1: We had to do a TV show and Joe Jackson's

424
00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:30,160
Speaker 1: on the team. Oh for sure. So there's no okay,

425
00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:33,200
Speaker 1: let's start blogging in little snippets. Would he laws to

426
00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:34,800
Speaker 1: make a twenty one million a year he's on the team.

427
00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:37,359
Speaker 1: He Laws on the team. MALIEK. Collins is on the team.

428
00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:44,800
Speaker 1: Um Joe Jackson, Tyrone Crawford and and Taco Affording Jerry

429
00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:47,399
Speaker 1: are on the team. Well, he's suspended yet for the

430
00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:50,159
Speaker 1: first two games, so Quinn doesn't count. Okay, so he

431
00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:52,280
Speaker 1: doesn't count. If he's that's something for them to deal

432
00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:54,560
Speaker 1: with in two weeks. Christon Hill's your second. Christon Hill

433
00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:59,880
Speaker 1: is on the team. That's six. Six U Doran's Armstrong

434
00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:02,480
Speaker 1: on the team. Seven, Krry Hider. I think Rry Hyder

435
00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:05,000
Speaker 1: is on the team. Okay, so we're at eight. Did

436
00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:08,440
Speaker 1: we say Covington already? Nope, I think he makes the

437
00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:13,520
Speaker 1: team nine. And you know that's the Ross thing. The

438
00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:16,800
Speaker 1: Ross thing makes it easier. It does because you're sitting there,

439
00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:22,080
Speaker 1: you're thinking, Daniel Ross, Daniel Wise, Daniel Wise. Man, I'm

440
00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:24,840
Speaker 1: not I'm not letting him go not. I mean, I don't. Ten.

441
00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:28,280
Speaker 1: Tenth guy Jalen Jelks is probably you know, you don't

442
00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:30,360
Speaker 1: have to worry about that. I mean he I think

443
00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:32,679
Speaker 1: he could be maybe be an ir maybe it depends

444
00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:34,359
Speaker 1: on he's in a walking boot. I don't know how

445
00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:36,800
Speaker 1: long that's yeah, I don't know. But Jolkes was a

446
00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:38,920
Speaker 1: guy obviously, I thought, you know, would make it and

447
00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:43,720
Speaker 1: he's kind of hit a wall. But Ricky Walker, I'd

448
00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:45,439
Speaker 1: find a spot for him on the practice squad if

449
00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:49,240
Speaker 1: if he doesn't clear waiver, I do. I mean I

450
00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:53,320
Speaker 1: need to be missing anybody. Well, you're right, like the

451
00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:56,960
Speaker 1: Daniel Ross tidbit makes a little bit easier because you're

452
00:22:56,960 --> 00:22:59,040
Speaker 1: sitting there thinking. For a while, I thought it was

453
00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:02,680
Speaker 1: between Ross and I'm like, man, I don't know. Ross

454
00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:06,359
Speaker 1: is sneaky good, like if what are you gonna do there?

455
00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:08,600
Speaker 1: But it's pretty good in those one on one battles, yeah,

456
00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:11,840
Speaker 1: you know, like like if you put them up against Starter, yeah,

457
00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:13,840
Speaker 1: it's a good battle. Yeah, But if you put them

458
00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:15,640
Speaker 1: up against one of these younger guys, I mean it's

459
00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:18,320
Speaker 1: not even close. I mean Ross's kills. These guys are

460
00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:23,280
Speaker 1: forgetting anybody that I'm gonna feel stupid about forgetting later, Yes,

461
00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:27,000
Speaker 1: Antwine Woods, Oh oh wow, yeah damn oh. I thought

462
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:29,439
Speaker 1: you guys mentioned that screwed our whole thing up, because

463
00:23:29,560 --> 00:23:31,440
Speaker 1: an I mean, Antoine Woods is going to make the team.

464
00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:34,479
Speaker 1: He's your best nose tackle or him in Covington. Either way,

465
00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:38,080
Speaker 1: you still need him. What and there again, now you're

466
00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:40,399
Speaker 1: wondering how you find a spot for Daniel Wise. I

467
00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:41,879
Speaker 1: was gonna say, I was like, there's no way. It

468
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:44,280
Speaker 1: was that easy. There's no way. Why is his stat

469
00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:45,920
Speaker 1: line last night? I told you in the press box

470
00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:48,440
Speaker 1: he would be like defensive player of the week. It

471
00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:52,680
Speaker 1: was David Irving in Green Bay esque six six tackles,

472
00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:56,800
Speaker 1: three tackles for loss, two sacks, three hits on the quarterback,

473
00:23:57,880 --> 00:24:00,080
Speaker 1: and he played like one half. So what do you do?

474
00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:06,240
Speaker 1: I'm not cutting Wise. All right, let's start over. You

475
00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:08,560
Speaker 1: must be up when you put Joe Jackson. I was

476
00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:10,560
Speaker 1: trying to go by an order of most obvious. But

477
00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:16,800
Speaker 1: let them starters. Starters. DeMarcus Lawrence agreed, Tyrone Crawford agreed. Yeah,

478
00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:20,720
Speaker 1: Malie Collins agreed, Antoine Woods agreed. That's that we could

479
00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:22,560
Speaker 1: start with those four, right, you could four? You could

480
00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:25,520
Speaker 1: start Yeah, like that, that's your start up line them preferably. Okay,

481
00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:29,119
Speaker 1: let's get some backups in here. Taco Taco Charlton per

482
00:24:29,280 --> 00:24:34,320
Speaker 1: the owner agreed. Christian Covington, all right, I'll all right,

483
00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:37,119
Speaker 1: We'll get hits way, We'll get to him, okay. Um,

484
00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:42,200
Speaker 1: Durrance Armstrong, yes, Tristan Hill, Yes, Hyder Kerry Hyder, Yes,

485
00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:46,560
Speaker 1: you're at eight, okay, Joe Jackson, Joe Jackson nine. Now

486
00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:52,240
Speaker 1: they could keep eleven, but we'll just say ten. We said, Crawford,

487
00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:57,640
Speaker 1: why coming to That's why it comes down to, yeah,

488
00:24:58,280 --> 00:25:01,920
Speaker 1: and I you know, I I don't okay who who

489
00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:04,640
Speaker 1: would you be leaning towards the most out of those

490
00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:06,760
Speaker 1: two guys? I mean, you're always going to lean toward

491
00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:10,320
Speaker 1: the guy who just bawled out. But this is why

492
00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:13,480
Speaker 1: it's a it's a fifty three man position. You know, Yes,

493
00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:17,320
Speaker 1: we have to go position by position, but the the

494
00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:22,560
Speaker 1: whys versus why is versus the ninth lineman. See, I'm

495
00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:25,119
Speaker 1: not doing that. I don't need a ninth lineman right now.

496
00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:29,960
Speaker 1: Also freaking because if Covington didn't even play, if you

497
00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:33,760
Speaker 1: don't play, that typically says that they feel some type

498
00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:36,400
Speaker 1: of way about you being on the team. And that's

499
00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:39,080
Speaker 1: he is the good point. He is the classic guy.

500
00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:43,160
Speaker 1: Christian Covington is the classic guy where you know, us

501
00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:47,400
Speaker 1: and fans Mike Jackson didn't play, he's hurt. I don't know, yeah,

502
00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:50,199
Speaker 1: but he's the classic guy where people are like, well,

503
00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:52,119
Speaker 1: what's he done? And then you talk to the coaches,

504
00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:55,720
Speaker 1: and it's like, what hasn't he done. He's incredible, He's amazing. Yeah,

505
00:25:55,960 --> 00:25:59,040
Speaker 1: and I haven't seen it yet I have, I mean

506
00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:01,280
Speaker 1: not he has have been like dominant, but I've seen

507
00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:03,440
Speaker 1: him flash. I just I think he'll be on the team.

508
00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:06,920
Speaker 1: I do well. And maybe I don't know. I don't

509
00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:08,639
Speaker 1: know if you can afford to cut Daniel Wise, but

510
00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:11,120
Speaker 1: I don't know who gets cut to. And again, maybe

511
00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:14,720
Speaker 1: they could trade somebody, maybe the other I like Covington,

512
00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:17,359
Speaker 1: maybe Tacos on the fifty three until Sunday when they

513
00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:20,080
Speaker 1: trade him. I don't, I don't and I don't know.

514
00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:23,040
Speaker 1: I shouldn't just throw stuff out like that, But what

515
00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:25,320
Speaker 1: the defensive line is the hardest thing to figure out

516
00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:28,720
Speaker 1: about this whole team. Yeah, T ten just seems solid

517
00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:31,639
Speaker 1: that you're gonna keep ten and you know, let's move

518
00:26:31,720 --> 00:26:35,200
Speaker 1: on to linebacker because that is a good problem though too,

519
00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:37,520
Speaker 1: how right, I mean, when you're having such a hard

520
00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:40,120
Speaker 1: time to figure out what player to keep. We said

521
00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:42,879
Speaker 1: last night in the press box, like as recently as

522
00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:45,719
Speaker 1: two years ago, Wise would be like written in stone.

523
00:26:46,119 --> 00:26:48,000
Speaker 1: And it's just it's a testament to how much work

524
00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:49,840
Speaker 1: they've done on the d line that it's this tough.

525
00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:52,639
Speaker 1: I'm telling you like we're gonna be in week four,

526
00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:54,680
Speaker 1: be like, do you see that Ricky Walker's playing for

527
00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:56,600
Speaker 1: the Jets and he had two sacks? Yeah? Yeah, I

528
00:26:56,680 --> 00:26:59,200
Speaker 1: mean it happened. It happens, all right, let's hit the

529
00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:02,800
Speaker 1: linebackers that he's getting kind of tough too. Here's the

530
00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:05,560
Speaker 1: question I almost asked earlier, but I thought I would

531
00:27:05,560 --> 00:27:08,760
Speaker 1: just wait till now. Do we do we know for sure?

532
00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:11,600
Speaker 1: I mean, Luke Gifford played played well in the in

533
00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:14,480
Speaker 1: the scrimmage, in practice, and then he had one half

534
00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:17,119
Speaker 1: gets an interception, thin he gets hurt, so we're kind

535
00:27:17,160 --> 00:27:20,800
Speaker 1: of like he's good. But Justin Phillips has been better.

536
00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:24,600
Speaker 1: He got an interception that was that was ESPN worthy.

537
00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:28,680
Speaker 1: He's played more, He's played more everywhere everywhere. I don't

538
00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:32,000
Speaker 1: know how, I mean, why not him over Luke Gifford.

539
00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:35,160
Speaker 1: I don't know. And it's just me trying to read

540
00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:39,440
Speaker 1: between the lines because Luke Gifford is an undrafted free agent.

541
00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:42,800
Speaker 1: He's an undrafted free agent who got hurt for a

542
00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:45,600
Speaker 1: significant period of time and they have carried him this

543
00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:49,520
Speaker 1: whole time, which hurts your ability to practice. It messes

544
00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:52,760
Speaker 1: up your rotations in the game, and it just seems

545
00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:56,040
Speaker 1: you know anybody you know, Uh, Andrew Dowell hurt his

546
00:27:56,119 --> 00:27:58,080
Speaker 1: hamstring on the second day of camp, They're like, waved

547
00:27:58,119 --> 00:28:01,160
Speaker 1: injured by get out, sorry, get Phillips back. Yeah, let's

548
00:28:01,160 --> 00:28:03,119
Speaker 1: get Justin Phillips back because dal can't go. And then

549
00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:05,800
Speaker 1: Gifford gets hurt and they're like, well, we gotta we

550
00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:09,040
Speaker 1: gotta hold on to him. So well, when you see talent,

551
00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:11,399
Speaker 1: you can't just know. And I don't disagree with that,

552
00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:13,840
Speaker 1: but like to be blunt, it would be incredibly stupid

553
00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:16,760
Speaker 1: if they carried him for all this time and didn't

554
00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:19,880
Speaker 1: have a plan for him. So I, like I said,

555
00:28:19,920 --> 00:28:22,600
Speaker 1: I don't we don't know where he is in his recovery.

556
00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:24,560
Speaker 1: They could try to carry him because he'd probably be

557
00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:27,720
Speaker 1: inactive on the fifty three anyway, or they could die

558
00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:30,200
Speaker 1: arm him. All right, It just depends. Yeah, the Wolf,

559
00:28:30,359 --> 00:28:34,480
Speaker 1: you could Vanderash Jayal and Sean Lee, Joe Thomas locked

560
00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:39,000
Speaker 1: done over March. I think March is probably your fifth.

561
00:28:39,280 --> 00:28:42,120
Speaker 1: He played well last night, he did. I think March

562
00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:46,000
Speaker 1: is your fifth. And then Justin Phillips, although I think

563
00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:50,520
Speaker 1: maybe the most underappreciated guy is Nate Hall. He played

564
00:28:50,600 --> 00:28:53,680
Speaker 1: great lest he was awesome, and he's been reliably good.

565
00:28:53,760 --> 00:28:57,240
Speaker 1: He's a smart guy. He went to Northwestern special teams.

566
00:28:57,480 --> 00:28:59,480
Speaker 1: Looks good in the games, Like see the one that's

567
00:28:59,520 --> 00:29:01,720
Speaker 1: ruled at all. Yeah, he doesn't. He's got like a

568
00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:05,720
Speaker 1: almost safety like build right in almost tight end. Yeah,

569
00:29:06,320 --> 00:29:12,720
Speaker 1: ok Um, I think six. I think six, especially with that, Well,

570
00:29:12,760 --> 00:29:14,880
Speaker 1: think about it like this, who would you rather like?

571
00:29:15,040 --> 00:29:17,000
Speaker 1: I mean, if it comes down to Justin Phillips or

572
00:29:17,080 --> 00:29:22,600
Speaker 1: Daniel Wise, oh, I'm keeping Wise Okay, pass rushers all day, right,

573
00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:26,480
Speaker 1: And and that's the thing about why he's so uh,

574
00:29:26,960 --> 00:29:29,200
Speaker 1: he's so versatile. I mean, he's going to give him

575
00:29:29,240 --> 00:29:31,960
Speaker 1: a whole year to just be in the weight room

576
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:33,520
Speaker 1: and all that, and then he'll come back and he'll

577
00:29:33,560 --> 00:29:36,480
Speaker 1: probably be a defensive tackle type guy. Yeah, you love

578
00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:38,680
Speaker 1: you love to joke about like the guy who wins

579
00:29:38,760 --> 00:29:42,120
Speaker 1: the job on Saturday and loses it on Sunday. I

580
00:29:42,240 --> 00:29:44,360
Speaker 1: could see one of those linebackers being a guy who

581
00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:47,200
Speaker 1: loses the job on Saturday and gets it back on Sunday.

582
00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:49,320
Speaker 1: Because if they move Gifford to i R, I would

583
00:29:49,320 --> 00:29:51,760
Speaker 1: assume they're going to sign a linebacker to replace him,

584
00:29:51,880 --> 00:29:53,680
Speaker 1: or maybe they could get one. That's one of the

585
00:29:53,800 --> 00:29:57,040
Speaker 1: worst things that happens is when it makes the team,

586
00:29:57,400 --> 00:30:00,600
Speaker 1: because we like to call it the final roster. Nothing's final,

587
00:30:01,320 --> 00:30:04,920
Speaker 1: but then they claim this they got from the Chargers,

588
00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:07,640
Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden, you're like, well he's out. Yeah,

589
00:30:08,160 --> 00:30:11,520
Speaker 1: it's you're not You're not safe. You're not safe until

590
00:30:11,600 --> 00:30:14,160
Speaker 1: like Tuesday, when when you really start prepping for a

591
00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:16,840
Speaker 1: week one. Let's go ahead and take our final break.

592
00:30:17,040 --> 00:30:20,400
Speaker 1: When we come back, we'll dive into the defensive backs.

593
00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:24,800
Speaker 1: That's gonna be another interesting area. Your new apartment's big,

594

629
00:32:25,360 --> 00:32:29,160
Speaker 1: let's get specialists out of the weight first. I'm trying

630
00:32:29,160 --> 00:32:32,320
Speaker 1: to buy some time as Dave, trying to tally up

631
00:32:32,400 --> 00:32:34,720
Speaker 1: with what we've got. We know, any numbers, Hey, mar

632
00:32:34,760 --> 00:32:39,760
Speaker 1: didn't play Redfern, you know, he tried to, you know,

633
00:32:39,840 --> 00:32:42,480
Speaker 1: had a field goal whatever, miss the next for point's

634
00:32:42,480 --> 00:32:44,960
Speaker 1: your guy had a field goal whatever. Well did you

635
00:32:45,040 --> 00:32:47,320
Speaker 1: see it? Yeah, it was like a knuckleball. I mean,

636
00:32:47,440 --> 00:32:49,880
Speaker 1: Tim Wakefield through it. So as soon as they missed

637
00:32:49,920 --> 00:32:52,280
Speaker 1: the two point conversion, which they were probably was cheering

638
00:32:52,320 --> 00:32:54,400
Speaker 1: in the press box going on nobody wants to tie

639
00:32:54,480 --> 00:32:58,800
Speaker 1: or over time. But but I was standing right by

640
00:32:58,840 --> 00:33:01,120
Speaker 1: the cheerleaders and then we're cheering, you know, and I'm

641
00:33:01,160 --> 00:33:04,120
Speaker 1: like stop it quick, cheering. They didn't want it over time,

642
00:33:05,160 --> 00:33:08,200
Speaker 1: but I really thought that Redford would get an opportunity

643
00:33:08,240 --> 00:33:10,280
Speaker 1: to kick kick it and try to win the game.

644
00:33:10,360 --> 00:33:12,840
Speaker 1: And they didn't. Christian in them all those penalties they

645
00:33:12,880 --> 00:33:17,160
Speaker 1: didn't get down there. But so NLP and Chris Jones

646
00:33:17,200 --> 00:33:19,080
Speaker 1: and my heart, those are three guys. So go ahead

647
00:33:19,080 --> 00:33:22,080
Speaker 1: and put three for specialists. I know there's like a

648
00:33:22,160 --> 00:33:26,280
Speaker 1: subset of people that think Redfern could take Chris Jones's job.

649
00:33:26,520 --> 00:33:28,920
Speaker 1: I mean, he hasn't been bad as a punter, yeah,

650
00:33:29,360 --> 00:33:31,640
Speaker 1: I And I think we said it last week, like

651
00:33:31,680 --> 00:33:34,000
Speaker 1: I would never rule anything out after what happened last year.

652
00:33:34,040 --> 00:33:36,080
Speaker 1: But I don't see it, like and yeah, you could

653
00:33:36,120 --> 00:33:38,280
Speaker 1: save money cutting Chris Jones. They don't need to save

654
00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:41,040
Speaker 1: money at all. No, I think they trust him. That

655
00:33:41,120 --> 00:33:43,360
Speaker 1: would surprise me. Yeah, I know people have been talking

656
00:33:43,400 --> 00:33:45,760
Speaker 1: about it, but and then they don't, you know, don't

657
00:33:45,800 --> 00:33:47,600
Speaker 1: mess up with what you got with the kicker right

658
00:33:47,680 --> 00:33:51,120
Speaker 1: now and now he gives the older new holder. It's fine,

659
00:33:51,640 --> 00:33:57,160
Speaker 1: all right, dbs, DBS, Okay, keeping six corners, let's start

660
00:33:57,200 --> 00:34:01,120
Speaker 1: with what we know, Well, let's go with let's definitely

661
00:34:01,240 --> 00:34:04,200
Speaker 1: start with our Cheeto and Byron and then Jordan and

662
00:34:04,800 --> 00:34:09,560
Speaker 1: Anthony Brown and then um C. J. Goodwin is a

663
00:34:09,840 --> 00:34:14,400
Speaker 1: is a good one for our special teams. Five that

664
00:34:14,760 --> 00:34:19,600
Speaker 1: was terrible in the best way. Yeah coming from you. Yeah,

665
00:34:20,360 --> 00:34:24,840
Speaker 1: I have chez Ball Jones over here. Anyways, five corners, safeties,

666
00:34:25,040 --> 00:34:28,520
Speaker 1: we got Heath, we got Donald I mean sorry, um

667
00:34:29,080 --> 00:34:33,800
Speaker 1: Xavier Woods, Donald Wilson for sure keeps bawling out, and

668
00:34:36,080 --> 00:34:41,760
Speaker 1: Darian Thompson maybe keep bold d D. Okay, I'm catching

669
00:34:41,840 --> 00:34:44,719
Speaker 1: up to you all now. We said okay, four, so

670
00:34:44,880 --> 00:34:48,080
Speaker 1: we've got eight. We've got eight dbs rot like Etchton

671
00:34:48,200 --> 00:34:56,160
Speaker 1: Stone Byron Cheeto, Jordan Brown, Goodwin, Woods, Heath Wilson, another state, Yeah,

672
00:34:56,800 --> 00:35:01,200
Speaker 1: another safety. Where's your where's your stat book? Go? Oh,

673
00:35:01,360 --> 00:35:03,000
Speaker 1: I'm writing on the back of it. Wow, I'm all

674
00:35:03,080 --> 00:35:06,120
Speaker 1: Darion Thompson. You know, as a guy, it's either gonna

675
00:35:06,120 --> 00:35:09,919
Speaker 1: be Darian Thompson or Darian didn't play either. Yeah, that's

676
00:35:10,440 --> 00:35:13,640
Speaker 1: he's in. I think he's into which ironically, like you know,

677
00:35:13,719 --> 00:35:15,840
Speaker 1: we've been I feel, you know, we kind of we

678
00:35:15,960 --> 00:35:17,920
Speaker 1: piss people off because we're like, he's in, he's in,

679
00:35:18,080 --> 00:35:20,600
Speaker 1: He's in, and fans are like, what has he done?

680
00:35:21,040 --> 00:35:23,800
Speaker 1: I'm like, I don't know. I'm just telling you what

681
00:35:24,040 --> 00:35:26,600
Speaker 1: they tell us. Davon Frasier is playing in the Kon

682
00:35:26,680 --> 00:35:28,879
Speaker 1: Fraser's playing playing late in the second half of that game,

683
00:35:28,920 --> 00:35:30,960
Speaker 1: and that's just not a good song. Okay, we haven't

684
00:35:31,000 --> 00:35:34,600
Speaker 1: mentioned him, but because what happens here, because he's playing

685
00:35:34,640 --> 00:35:36,239
Speaker 1: in the end of the game, I think they're okay

686
00:35:36,280 --> 00:35:38,120
Speaker 1: with him getting hurt not being on the team. I

687
00:35:38,239 --> 00:35:42,920
Speaker 1: think they I think they trust Thompson more on defense

688
00:35:43,760 --> 00:35:49,000
Speaker 1: and they both can contribute on special teams. And I

689
00:35:49,120 --> 00:35:52,280
Speaker 1: feel like cavan he was he was never a burner,

690
00:35:52,360 --> 00:35:54,560
Speaker 1: but I feel like he's lost the step even from

691
00:35:54,640 --> 00:35:56,759
Speaker 1: that and that's probably your You know, he had knee

692
00:35:56,760 --> 00:35:59,359
Speaker 1: surgery and YadA, YadA, YadA. Well, right now we're at

693
00:35:59,440 --> 00:36:03,759
Speaker 1: eight and we're not even mentioning his name too. Cavon, Yeah,

694
00:36:03,920 --> 00:36:06,440
Speaker 1: to be at it, I just the writing seems to

695
00:36:06,520 --> 00:36:08,040
Speaker 1: be on the wall that he's not going to make.

696
00:36:08,080 --> 00:36:10,680
Speaker 1: I think we're at nine now and that breaks my heart. Yes,

697
00:36:10,760 --> 00:36:13,919
Speaker 1: added Darien Thompson. Darion Thompson. Okay, so you're at nine,

698
00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:16,120
Speaker 1: So where are we overall? Can we do that number

699
00:36:16,320 --> 00:36:23,759
Speaker 1: at this point in time? Two, six, eleven, fourteen, twenty three,

700
00:36:24,680 --> 00:36:35,840
Speaker 1: thirty three, thirty nine forty forty four, forty eight fifty one. Okay,

701
00:36:36,040 --> 00:36:39,440
Speaker 1: so there's two roster spots and just okay, so for

702
00:36:39,600 --> 00:36:42,120
Speaker 1: clarity's sake, we only have five receivers, so there's a

703
00:36:42,160 --> 00:36:46,000
Speaker 1: spot available there. We have ten d lineman, six linebackers,

704
00:36:46,480 --> 00:36:50,400
Speaker 1: nine dbs nine oh linemen okay, and how many linebackers

705
00:36:50,480 --> 00:36:53,200
Speaker 1: he said six right now? One of those is Luke Gifford.

706
00:36:54,120 --> 00:36:57,120
Speaker 1: So like if Justin Phillips Ornate Hall we're to make

707
00:36:57,160 --> 00:36:59,879
Speaker 1: the team, it would be after cuts. And the guy

708
00:37:00,040 --> 00:37:03,200
Speaker 1: that we're not mentioning it defensive back yet is Alumba,

709
00:37:03,360 --> 00:37:06,839
Speaker 1: who has done everything possible to make the team. Then

710
00:37:06,880 --> 00:37:11,799
Speaker 1: he gets a pick six. Yep, playing in the second half.

711
00:37:11,960 --> 00:37:14,520
Speaker 1: A lot of it was was on a necessity, don't

712
00:37:14,560 --> 00:37:17,520
Speaker 1: you And I don't know this and me personally, I

713
00:37:17,640 --> 00:37:20,359
Speaker 1: think Donovan Alumba deserves to make the team. But don't

714
00:37:20,400 --> 00:37:23,600
Speaker 1: you just have a bad feeling that they're just gonna

715
00:37:23,640 --> 00:37:28,719
Speaker 1: be like, yeah, but it's and it's you know, they

716
00:37:28,840 --> 00:37:31,080
Speaker 1: love to say football is a meritocracy and it's really

717
00:37:31,160 --> 00:37:35,000
Speaker 1: just not that true because and it just it is

718
00:37:35,040 --> 00:37:37,480
Speaker 1: what it is. Like he he doesn't have the high

719
00:37:37,600 --> 00:37:40,360
Speaker 1: end speed, he's not you know, I don't think they

720
00:37:40,400 --> 00:37:42,120
Speaker 1: would trust him if he had to play defense in

721
00:37:42,160 --> 00:37:45,439
Speaker 1: a week one game. Meanwhile, you know Tristan Hill played

722
00:37:45,480 --> 00:37:47,560
Speaker 1: that entire game, and you know he's gonna make the team,

723
00:37:47,680 --> 00:37:50,840
Speaker 1: and you know it's it's not always on fair. We

724
00:37:50,960 --> 00:37:57,040
Speaker 1: got two spots. I'm keeping Wise, I keep eleven d Linman,

725
00:37:57,440 --> 00:38:00,600
Speaker 1: all right, what would okay? Instead of trying to figure

726
00:38:00,640 --> 00:38:03,279
Speaker 1: that out, because there's no way for us to know sure,

727
00:38:03,560 --> 00:38:06,240
Speaker 1: what is the pool of players that you would consider?

728
00:38:06,360 --> 00:38:11,120
Speaker 1: So Donovan Olumba for sure, Daniel Wise for sure, Cedric

729
00:38:11,160 --> 00:38:17,600
Speaker 1: Wilson for sure, Maybe Phillips justin Phillips, Justin Phillips forty four? Um,

730
00:38:18,480 --> 00:38:22,280
Speaker 1: maybe Ricky Walker. I mean about making the team sixty

731
00:38:22,560 --> 00:38:25,360
Speaker 1: maybe it's probably It's probably it though, right, I mean,

732
00:38:25,480 --> 00:38:27,080
Speaker 1: Jokes is not going to be a part of the

733
00:38:28,200 --> 00:38:30,200
Speaker 1: I don't think so. I don't. I think he's gonna

734
00:38:30,200 --> 00:38:33,719
Speaker 1: get injured. I'm gonna I'm gonna write down Innate Hall

735
00:38:33,880 --> 00:38:36,839
Speaker 1: just out of pure bias because I like him. Um,

736
00:38:37,400 --> 00:38:43,160
Speaker 1: Mike Jackson, Mike Jackson, good one, Kaden uh And I

737
00:38:43,239 --> 00:38:45,440
Speaker 1: mean unless they were to keep four tight ends, which

738
00:38:45,480 --> 00:38:48,640
Speaker 1: I don't think is gonna happen. Yeah, So you're talking

739
00:38:50,040 --> 00:38:55,040
Speaker 1: like white, you can throw him on that list, all right. One,

740
00:38:55,200 --> 00:38:58,040
Speaker 1: I'm saying that gives you, that gives you eight guys. Four.

741
00:38:58,400 --> 00:39:00,359
Speaker 1: Still when you look at the list, you still gonna

742
00:39:00,360 --> 00:39:03,120
Speaker 1: cross him out, Okay, all right, him off. Then, So

743
00:39:03,360 --> 00:39:07,280
Speaker 1: of those two spots, I mean Alumba and then Mike Jackson.

744
00:39:07,400 --> 00:39:10,279
Speaker 1: Again it's not always fair, but fifth round draft picks

745
00:39:10,320 --> 00:39:13,799
Speaker 1: they love to protect their draft. He's he's the fifth

746
00:39:13,880 --> 00:39:18,480
Speaker 1: corner really sixth, so like something would have to go catastrophe,

747
00:39:18,840 --> 00:39:21,920
Speaker 1: just catastrophe for him to be playing regular snaps anyway.

748
00:39:23,600 --> 00:39:26,680
Speaker 1: And then Daniel Wise and Cedric Wilson, Like those feel

749
00:39:26,719 --> 00:39:29,799
Speaker 1: like the four to me where you have to make

750
00:39:29,840 --> 00:39:32,480
Speaker 1: a call and we we have two roster spots. You don't,

751
00:39:33,520 --> 00:39:35,600
Speaker 1: I said, Wise didn't. I Oh, I circled forty four.

752
00:39:35,640 --> 00:39:39,560
Speaker 1: A meant to circle sixty four. Sorry, So Alumba, Wise,

753
00:39:39,680 --> 00:39:43,399
Speaker 1: Cedric and Mike Jackson. Is Covington on that list as well?

754
00:39:43,560 --> 00:39:48,560
Speaker 1: Or no? Chris Covington? Yeah, oh damn it. Yeah, we

755
00:39:48,719 --> 00:39:50,440
Speaker 1: put him on our fifty three when we did it

756
00:39:50,520 --> 00:39:53,719
Speaker 1: in the studio the other day. This is tough. I

757
00:39:53,880 --> 00:39:59,200
Speaker 1: hate this. Well, we'll know tomorrow. There's three players that

758
00:39:59,239 --> 00:40:00,840
Speaker 1: are going to be on this team that are that

759
00:40:00,960 --> 00:40:03,040
Speaker 1: are playing on somewhere else right now. We know that,

760
00:40:03,280 --> 00:40:06,120
Speaker 1: and they're going to be better than all of those guys.

761
00:40:06,600 --> 00:40:10,080
Speaker 1: That's what they got to find out those two spots

762
00:40:10,200 --> 00:40:12,560
Speaker 1: right there is are there going to be better players

763
00:40:12,600 --> 00:40:15,560
Speaker 1: than just that pool? Which we I can't predict that.

764
00:40:15,800 --> 00:40:18,480
Speaker 1: I yeah, but so in just one hundred guys and

765
00:40:18,560 --> 00:40:22,799
Speaker 1: the interest of looking at this, I would definitely keep

766
00:40:22,880 --> 00:40:25,160
Speaker 1: wise and just go eleven D Lineman, which I kind

767
00:40:25,200 --> 00:40:28,560
Speaker 1: of doubt they'll do, and then take your pick between

768
00:40:28,600 --> 00:40:32,000
Speaker 1: Alumba and Jackson. Alumba deserves it more, but Jackson is

769
00:40:32,840 --> 00:40:36,279
Speaker 1: the draft. Yeah, Okay, we're running out of time. But

770
00:40:36,719 --> 00:40:40,319
Speaker 1: when we look at this thing overall, and we keep

771
00:40:40,400 --> 00:40:43,120
Speaker 1: talking all throughout the training camp, how much talent, young

772
00:40:43,239 --> 00:40:46,640
Speaker 1: talent that the Cowboys have right now? What position would

773
00:40:46,640 --> 00:40:51,000
Speaker 1: you say feels like the weakest out of the whole roster.

774
00:40:51,880 --> 00:40:55,120
Speaker 1: That's a good question. That is a good question. Honestly,

775
00:40:55,960 --> 00:40:58,560
Speaker 1: I hate saying this. Would you have a goat there

776
00:40:58,680 --> 00:41:02,799
Speaker 1: but tight end because they've been banged up and then

777
00:41:02,960 --> 00:41:05,239
Speaker 1: you just don't know what Witten's gonna give you. I mean,

778
00:41:05,960 --> 00:41:08,600
Speaker 1: I think he's going to be pretty good. But I

779
00:41:08,680 --> 00:41:11,719
Speaker 1: think he's gonna be what he's been, and what he's

780
00:41:11,760 --> 00:41:14,040
Speaker 1: been is a guy that's a you know, he's a

781
00:41:14,280 --> 00:41:17,640
Speaker 1: declining player, but a declining Hall of Famer, which is

782
00:41:17,680 --> 00:41:19,720
Speaker 1: which is you know, it's a good place to start.

783
00:41:19,760 --> 00:41:23,759
Speaker 1: But tied in, I just wonder what they're going to

784
00:41:23,840 --> 00:41:29,440
Speaker 1: have there. I also, I mean, I mean, as of

785
00:41:29,600 --> 00:41:31,920
Speaker 1: right now, one of the best players in the league

786
00:41:32,000 --> 00:41:34,680
Speaker 1: isn't on your roster. I would be fascinated to see

787
00:41:34,760 --> 00:41:38,520
Speaker 1: how I'm fascinated to see how that could play out.

788
00:41:38,600 --> 00:41:40,880
Speaker 1: Like I part of me really wants to see if

789
00:41:41,040 --> 00:41:43,880
Speaker 1: if Tony Pollard could do this, But part of me

790
00:41:44,000 --> 00:41:46,080
Speaker 1: also wants the best running back in the league to

791
00:41:46,120 --> 00:41:48,399
Speaker 1: come back to the team. So got a shout out

792
00:41:48,480 --> 00:41:50,239
Speaker 1: running back as a trouble spot for the time being.

793
00:41:50,320 --> 00:41:52,839
Speaker 1: Part of me just wants both of them. Yeah, sure,

794
00:41:53,160 --> 00:41:55,560
Speaker 1: so just combine it. No, Yeah, Like I just I

795
00:41:55,640 --> 00:41:59,880
Speaker 1: get you. You know this, there's this analytical argument rage

796
00:42:00,239 --> 00:42:03,040
Speaker 1: in the NFL right now about whether running backs matter. Well,

797
00:42:03,200 --> 00:42:05,439
Speaker 1: if if Zeke doesn't show up in the next week,

798
00:42:05,840 --> 00:42:08,600
Speaker 1: we're gonna get to find out. So that is really

799
00:42:08,680 --> 00:42:11,960
Speaker 1: intriguing to me. But also as somebody who wants the

800
00:42:12,000 --> 00:42:15,279
Speaker 1: Cowboys to succeed. I'd rather not find out and just

801
00:42:15,400 --> 00:42:17,560
Speaker 1: say put twenty one in. It's like you want to

802
00:42:17,600 --> 00:42:19,719
Speaker 1: see where the drama leads to what's going to be

803
00:42:19,760 --> 00:42:21,200
Speaker 1: the end of the story, but at the same time,

804
00:42:21,239 --> 00:42:22,600
Speaker 1: you don't want it to be at the sake of

805
00:42:22,719 --> 00:42:25,160
Speaker 1: losing a game. You know. You know, God, this is

806
00:42:25,200 --> 00:42:27,760
Speaker 1: going to sound morbid, But like there's people talk about,

807
00:42:27,800 --> 00:42:30,800
Speaker 1: like when you're standing on the side of the subway tracks,

808
00:42:30,960 --> 00:42:33,520
Speaker 1: Like everybody who's ever stood there is like I wonder

809
00:42:33,640 --> 00:42:36,160
Speaker 1: what would happen if I just jumped out there, you know,

810
00:42:36,280 --> 00:42:38,640
Speaker 1: But like you don't actually want to do it. This

811
00:42:38,840 --> 00:42:41,239
Speaker 1: is a real thing, all right. I sound crazy now,

812
00:42:41,400 --> 00:42:44,320
Speaker 1: But just because you think about it doesn't mean you

813
00:42:44,440 --> 00:42:46,520
Speaker 1: actually want to deal with the reality. That's what I'm saying.

814
00:42:46,600 --> 00:42:49,920
Speaker 1: Parish it on, you know, jump and then pull it

815
00:42:50,080 --> 00:42:52,160
Speaker 1: and then you'll be fine. I don't think that would

816
00:42:52,200 --> 00:42:55,680
Speaker 1: work in a subway station. I'd say, who's getting nervous, Oh, subway,

817
00:42:55,880 --> 00:42:58,920
Speaker 1: I'm picturing like a mountain on off a cliff. We

818
00:42:59,000 --> 00:43:01,880
Speaker 1: don't have to talk about my fantasies. Yeah, they're sorry.

819
00:43:02,200 --> 00:43:05,360
Speaker 1: This is a definitely cowboy nation. Is is so you know,

820
00:43:06,040 --> 00:43:08,640
Speaker 1: worried about this, But there's a lot of people and

821
00:43:09,440 --> 00:43:13,280
Speaker 1: every team at every fan of teams are worried about

822
00:43:13,320 --> 00:43:17,719
Speaker 1: this because he affects a lot of fantasy football drafts. Yeah, yeah,

823
00:43:17,800 --> 00:43:20,239
Speaker 1: what do you do when you're sitting there with the

824
00:43:20,320 --> 00:43:22,640
Speaker 1: third or fourth overall pick? Do you take this guy?

825
00:43:22,760 --> 00:43:24,560
Speaker 1: Or do you not people I haven't heard from in

826
00:43:24,680 --> 00:43:27,080
Speaker 1: five years or texting me, Yeah, what's up with the

827
00:43:27,520 --> 00:43:30,279
Speaker 1: I got a drafting. I'm drafting third overall? You think

828
00:43:30,280 --> 00:43:34,439
Speaker 1: I should do it? Like? Shut up? Like the guys

829
00:43:34,440 --> 00:43:36,600
Speaker 1: that took Levan Bell last year are not going to

830
00:43:36,680 --> 00:43:39,200
Speaker 1: do that? Probably not? All right, Well, that is all

831
00:43:39,239 --> 00:43:40,880
Speaker 1: the time we have for today. Thank you guys so
