Speaker 1: This he's Talking Cowboys training live from Dallas Cowboys Training
Speaker 1: Camp in Hawksnard, California. Here are Mickey Spagnola, Brian Bromis,
Speaker 1: Rob Phillips, and Bill Jones. And it is day six
Speaker 1: of Zeke watch here at Cowboys training camp in Oxnard, California,
Speaker 1: Day number five of the Cowboys being in Oxnard, Californifornia
Speaker 1: for a full day, Day number four of practice, day
Speaker 1: number two in pads, and day number one of Travis
Speaker 1: Frederick in pads and day number one of these second
Speaker 1: Alfred Morris era of Dallas Cowboys Football. Welcome to Talking Cowboys.
Speaker 1: That's quite an opening that covered a few things anyway,
Speaker 1: a lot of math. Yeah, I knew there was a
Speaker 1: reason I brought this. Get your popcorn ready for this show.
Speaker 1: We brought props to the set today. I'm ready popcorn, popcorn.
Speaker 1: I like it. Appreciate that you, Terrell. They just pop
Speaker 1: popcorn over here. They did one of the tents, and
Speaker 1: the fellow who popped the popcorn asked if I wanted
Speaker 1: any popcorn, and I said, no, it's too early. I
Speaker 1: brought yourself. There you go. Actually this is from last night.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, all right. Actually copcorn's better after it sits
Speaker 1: a while. Okay. It's also day number one of a
Speaker 1: morning practice. Yeah, yes, okay, the first morning practice of
Speaker 1: this two thy nineteen Cowboys training camp. So we it's
Speaker 1: sort of like a pregame show here as the Cowboys
Speaker 1: will be on the practice field. It's technically as scheduled
Speaker 1: to start at ten forty five Pacific time. Jason Garrett
Speaker 1: will be a little later today three o'clock Central time,
Speaker 1: one o'clock Pacific time, but a lot of Cowboys making
Speaker 1: the news right now. Yeah, it is kind of a
Speaker 1: one of those days where a nice added practice. Yesterday
Speaker 1: we got to see some guys. I thought there was
Speaker 1: some really good efforts buy some young players. I thought
Speaker 1: I saw a backup quarterback throw the ball a little
Speaker 1: bit better. Yesterday. Some guys who were talking about maybe
Speaker 1: need to elevate their game kind of didn't elevate their
Speaker 1: game right out of the gates. So yeah, it's there's
Speaker 1: a lot to get to, a lot of different storylines.
Speaker 1: And that's the great thing about training camp practice, though,
Speaker 1: is that you can go from station to station and
Speaker 1: kind of pick out one or two things. I know
Speaker 1: yesterday I was talking about oh, I was anxious to
Speaker 1: see Travis Frederick. And then we get to the press
Speaker 1: conference and then Travis Frederick not practicing, but him going
Speaker 1: to day. But I was really really excited though about
Speaker 1: just overall those guys being on the field. You saw
Speaker 1: some good competition. We saw some one on one with
Speaker 1: the offense and defensive line. We saw some seven on seven.
Speaker 1: We saw some receivers run some nice routes, make some
Speaker 1: plays down the field. Quarterbacks get him the ball, good
Speaker 1: block good, you know, good blitzing. So good, A good
Speaker 1: overall day to get started in camp. We should petition
Speaker 1: for them to have this practice in the morning instead
Speaker 1: of the afternoon, because then the rest of the day
Speaker 1: we have something tangible to talk about to write about,
Speaker 1: instead of having to wait till five to thirty or
Speaker 1: six o'clock, which is eight o'clock back home. The morning practice,
Speaker 1: I think is good. I'm anxious to see Travis Frederick.
Speaker 1: We were yesterday until we found out that they were
Speaker 1: going to give him a veteran day off. And the
Speaker 1: reason they did it that way is because they didn't
Speaker 1: want him practicing two days in a row in pads
Speaker 1: the first time in a year, So they just said,
Speaker 1: let's give him the veteran day off on Monday practice
Speaker 1: of them on Tuesday, it's a natural team day off
Speaker 1: on Wednesday, and then he gets a day to rest
Speaker 1: before they go back in pads on Thursday. Didn't want
Speaker 1: him in two pad practices in a row, So there
Speaker 1: was some there was some common sense to their decision
Speaker 1: to keep him out yesterday totally made sense. Yeah, Joe
Speaker 1: Looney filled in nicely for him yesterday too. If you
Speaker 1: kind of took up Joe Looney did a nice job.
Speaker 1: I think you saw. I think the one on ones right,
Speaker 1: I think he saw the overall strength of the offensive
Speaker 1: line even without Travis in there. I mean I was waiting.
Speaker 1: Rod Marinelli said a couple of days ago, I want
Speaker 1: to see Tyrn Smith put on the pads against Robert Quinn.
Speaker 1: And when there was one on ones, it was seventy
Speaker 1: seven round one, two and three. Yeah, and I think
Speaker 1: Quinn got him once, but he had trouble staying on
Speaker 1: his feet against Tyrn. And I thought the overall line
Speaker 1: was impressive. However, it's a deep defensive line rotation. They'll
Speaker 1: have their days. And there were some young defensive lineman
Speaker 1: a couple of rookies stood out to me, Daniel Wise
Speaker 1: and Mickey Well, Dorance Armstrong guy I'm watching as a
Speaker 1: second year guy. Absolutely, But keep an eye on Jalen
Speaker 1: Jelks too. I know he's running about third team right now,
Speaker 1: I think, but he's he's rangey, he's got some quickness.
Speaker 1: Mitch Hyadd had a hard time, and Mitch Hyadd is
Speaker 1: an All American tackle from Clemson, you know, and he's
Speaker 1: out here. And then Jolkes on the other side of
Speaker 1: the country out there in Oregon. But yeah, a long lean.
Speaker 1: I like what you're saying. Rob really did a nice
Speaker 1: job of capturing that. Yes, did you see guys and
Speaker 1: we know this is it's guys like Wise jokes if
Speaker 1: they if they're fighting in their weight class, I say
Speaker 1: this a lot. They're fighting in their weight class and
Speaker 1: they have some production. Then all of a sudden you
Speaker 1: see him maybe get a rep or two with the
Speaker 1: twos or the ones that kind of see, okay, maybe
Speaker 1: we got some. We saw it last year with Antoine Woods,
Speaker 1: even though that Travis Frederick was compromised with the illness,
Speaker 1: still you started to see some things with Woods that wait,
Speaker 1: he deserves an operation. Mickey Mickey saw this a long time.
Speaker 1: I think you ran into Jerry Jones about they said, hey,
Speaker 1: or Clancy Pendergrasser, one of those coaches said hey, that's
Speaker 1: my guy. Keep an eye on him. And you know,
Speaker 1: sure enough he found a way to make this football team.
Speaker 1: So the early impressions were very good. I like John
Speaker 1: Bay Johnson catching the ball, you know, over over, the
Speaker 1: speed that he was able to double move, that he
Speaker 1: was able to make on qu on a westery. I
Speaker 1: love the fact that though that you got a ball
Speaker 1: with a down the field with the Davis down there,
Speaker 1: you know, him catching Reggie Davis adjusted on a ball
Speaker 1: against a quality cornerback, you know with by the way,
Speaker 1: that was Cooper Rush throwing that one. Yeah, he had
Speaker 1: a good day and he had a real good day. Yeah,
Speaker 1: everybody was jumping on those guys in the OTAs, but
Speaker 1: everybody forgot Maybe you didn't know, but everybody forgot that
Speaker 1: when you get in the season, those guys don't get
Speaker 1: to play, they don't get much work, yeah practice, And
Speaker 1: so now you go through a season without much work,
Speaker 1: maybe running the scout team, right, and then you go
Speaker 1: from January to May with no work, right, And now
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, let's go play. Well, those guys
Speaker 1: aren't going to be sharp, especially the quarterback position. But
Speaker 1: the more he practiced, that last day in mini camp
Speaker 1: was really good, best day. And then he started out
Speaker 1: here really good. Absolutely, So I think they're start from
Speaker 1: your And if you saw somebody just signed a quarterback,
Speaker 1: somebody got hurt and they brought in a and some
Speaker 1: guy named Joe Callahan was signed. Right, so let's say,
Speaker 1: well you better go out and free aid and see
Speaker 1: and get a guy. Well, those are the guys that
Speaker 1: got signed. So the slim pickings out there. Well, speaking
Speaker 1: to signings though, the Alfred More signing, yes, let's get
Speaker 1: to that. I want to ask you guys a question
Speaker 1: I could about Alfred More signed did why Why did
Speaker 1: Brian brought us I'm talking a third person. Why did
Speaker 1: Brian brought us? Buy into? Next man up? And let's
Speaker 1: see the young guys participate. I got it. I got
Speaker 1: an answer for you. The four guys they have here
Speaker 1: at running back, sure, their total NFL carries is six
Speaker 1: okay for sixteen yards? For sixteen yards. And my guess
Speaker 1: is they're sitting there looking at this and they go
Speaker 1: all right, we're gonna give these guys a chance, sure,
Speaker 1: but we better have an insurance policy. And he was
Speaker 1: on his way to New Orleans right for an interview
Speaker 1: or workout or whatever talk. And it's like, Okay, if
Speaker 1: that's what you think you want to do, you better
Speaker 1: get him in here. It's probably not costing them, okay,
Speaker 1: and so, and that's where his base salary was last
Speaker 1: year San Francisco. Yeah, no, I mean when the last
Speaker 1: year with the Cowboys, right, last year for the San
Speaker 1: Francisco was seven hundred ninety thousand, So he was basically
Speaker 1: playing on the veteran exception. They probably didn't give him
Speaker 1: a roster bone. That might be up to one point two. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm guessing up to one point two because I bet
Speaker 1: they didn't give him a signing bonus. Yeah. I just
Speaker 1: worry about the guarantees too, right, I mean, is he
Speaker 1: gonna make the team and I don't. I don't think
Speaker 1: that's guaranteed just because they signed him last night or
Speaker 1: will sign him, and I don't practice gets a reflection
Speaker 1: on what these young guys have not at all far.
Speaker 1: They were just looking for insurance and thought, you know,
Speaker 1: last year when we started the season, we started with
Speaker 1: a tight end group that had nine NFL catches nine
Speaker 1: It's like, do we want to do that again? We're
Speaker 1: gonna start this season with wide receivers that don't have
Speaker 1: a heck of a lot of experience. Do we want
Speaker 1: to do that again? It wasn't a message to ze
Speaker 1: brings in here. No, it's not like it's threatening the time.
Speaker 1: The timing's interesting just because right after it out. But
Speaker 1: Mickey makes a great point about New Orleans being interested
Speaker 1: in him. I will say this to Brian's point. When
Speaker 1: I first news first came out last night, surprised me
Speaker 1: because we just watched Tony Pollard run really well out
Speaker 1: there in practice, and I thought Mike Weber looked pretty
Speaker 1: good too. Now it's one practice, and like you said,
Speaker 1: Darius Jackson has the entire regular season career cary total,
Speaker 1: and that was in one game against the Giants in
Speaker 1: Week seventeen last year. So I get it, But like Brian,
Speaker 1: I kind of expected maybe get you know, if this
Speaker 1: Zeke thing keeps going, at least go through the first game,
Speaker 1: see how these guys play against San Francisophia. I bet
Speaker 1: Alfred Morris was on their short list and in case
Speaker 1: somebody got hurt or whatever. And then when they saw
Speaker 1: that he's going to New Orleans might sign there, they said, well, okay,
Speaker 1: we need to speed up the process on it. Plus,
Speaker 1: you go into camp and you've got five running backs there. Okay. Now,
Speaker 1: unexpectedly one of them didn't show up for camp. Okay,
Speaker 1: so you've got a spot there where you've got reps
Speaker 1: available to. Will McClay was just on the radio and
Speaker 1: said basically the same thing every team. I think you know,
Speaker 1: they've got five six backs in camp. Competition not guaranteed
Speaker 1: to stop progress. But you're right, Brian, I mean those
Speaker 1: reps are going not as many are going to Tony
Speaker 1: Pollard now, right, so or Weber or if Pollard, Park's
Speaker 1: gonna get the work no matter what. Weber's the one
Speaker 1: that I was kind of thinking now is him and
Speaker 1: Chun Those guys are the ones that are not going
Speaker 1: to get his man, and we'll see how much work
Speaker 1: he gets. And the other thing on this whole deal
Speaker 1: is it didn't cost him a roster spot because they
Speaker 1: had an opening because Zeke got put on did not report,
Speaker 1: so that doesn't count against your nineties. So they didn't
Speaker 1: have to cut anybody in a Kellen Moore offense, how
Speaker 1: much theally gonna be thrown to the running back? Well,
Speaker 1: they used to running back in the swing, you know,
Speaker 1: they used him as part of Yeah, exactly. I mean,
Speaker 1: look at one of the best plays they had out
Speaker 1: there yesterday was a nice little screen pass off you
Speaker 1: know Mickey that were talking about it coming back from
Speaker 1: the dime hall. A lot of a lot of moving
Speaker 1: parts on that swing and they get lining out and
Speaker 1: they get it, they get the back kind of sneaking
Speaker 1: out there. So, yeah, it's gonna be screens, it's gonna
Speaker 1: be swings. It can might be that Texas out of
Speaker 1: those things that we've seen from Zeke before. They're gonna
Speaker 1: figure out that Pollard can catch the foot exactly. They're
Speaker 1: gonna figure that out. And what's the biggest knock against
Speaker 1: Alfred Morris in his career can't catch the ball. And
Speaker 1: so it's he's just a guy who they bring in
Speaker 1: that they're familiar with, great locker room guy, and he's
Speaker 1: insurance and basically knows the offense right. He knows are
Speaker 1: not having to teach three other guys the offense. But
Speaker 1: but I wonder though, like from an opportunity standpoint. Could
Speaker 1: he have more opportunity in New Orleans or is he
Speaker 1: just wanted to be here? Well, they lost ingram Uh,
Speaker 1: he left, and so there's a need in New Orleans. Yeah,
Speaker 1: his family currently live. Well, he was in San Francisco.
Speaker 1: His family still stayed behind it Frisco and left as
Speaker 1: with the rest of us. We love living in Dallas.
Speaker 1: He loves living in the Yes, yes, you went love
Speaker 1: living in New Orleans. I would myself. I just I
Speaker 1: just a month May I bought into let the young
Speaker 1: guys play. And I appreciate your explanation, I really do.
Speaker 1: I know it was from somebody at the top of
Speaker 1: the food chain, So I appreciate your explanation. But I
Speaker 1: was I was thinking. I was saying, Okay, let's see
Speaker 1: you know, let's see Jackson and I understand the carries.
Speaker 1: Let's see Jackson, Let's see Pollard, Let's see Webber, Let's
Speaker 1: see Chun. You know, let's see these guys get work.
Speaker 1: Let's see that crazy goal line drill that they run
Speaker 1: in full pads, where you know, backs trying to bang
Speaker 1: it in there behind the line. You know, let's see that.
Speaker 1: That's what I wanted to see and I and I again,
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't think the reps are gonna go
Speaker 1: from Pollard. I think the reps are gonna go from
Speaker 1: Webber and Chun. But I I and met and you
Speaker 1: know what, the reps and at the end of the
Speaker 1: day might even go from Jackson, right that I mean it,
Speaker 1: because Pollard's already getting some first team reps. Par Pol's
Speaker 1: gonna get reps no matter what. He doesn't need that
Speaker 1: many reps. Alfred Morris didn't. Let's see, let's see. You
Speaker 1: know they want him ready, right right, But I don't
Speaker 1: know he's going to get so many reps. He's not
Speaker 1: gonna get Ezekiel Elliott reps as well. I think I
Speaker 1: think that they had him if the Zeke thing went
Speaker 1: on into the end of training camp, they had him. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and and the and Alfred Morris was on their list
Speaker 1: that okay, he's the guy that they would they would
Speaker 1: sign at the end of camp or whenever it got Okay,
Speaker 1: we're two weeks out from the season. We need a
Speaker 1: guy just to make sure, just to cover ourselves here.
Speaker 1: And then when the Saints made a play for and
Speaker 1: they said, well, we gotta go ahead and get him
Speaker 1: now and it doesn't cost us anything, you know. And
Speaker 1: and now we monitor, Okay, whose reps are is he taking?
Speaker 1: And maybe maybe they'll ease him into where he's not
Speaker 1: taking that many reps from guys early. And I think
Speaker 1: one reason you thought it would be next man up
Speaker 1: is because they have done that at certain spots on
Speaker 1: the roster. Mickey mentioned tied end last year, which didn't
Speaker 1: work out, not at first by committee, receiver by committee.
Speaker 1: I was going there too. Now they you know, they
Speaker 1: realized that wasn't working by mid season. Sure, Um, they've
Speaker 1: done it at safety too, Xavier Woods. They've given him
Speaker 1: an opportunity and now he's stepped into that spot. So
Speaker 1: they've they've tried to let young guys step in. But
Speaker 1: I'm with you. I mean I was surprised at first.
Speaker 1: Let's to see how it shakes out though. Look, next
Speaker 1: man up is good in theory, but it depends on
Speaker 1: who the next man is. Yeah, but we don't know yet.
Speaker 1: I mean, that's right. But now they've got a known quantity,
Speaker 1: and that doesn't mean he's automatically next man up. He's
Speaker 1: an insurance policy. Remember when Tony got hurt and everybody
Speaker 1: was saying they got to go sign a quarterback, gotta
Speaker 1: go get yeah whoever, fols whatever, and they just kind
Speaker 1: of stuck with it. And the thirty two million dollar
Speaker 1: man behind him, Yeah who knew right? So sometimes sure,
Speaker 1: I mean there's times, Mick where sometimes you argue, hey,
Speaker 1: let's just see what the young guys have. I mean, that'solue,
Speaker 1: that's there is, there's value. They're all young, every one
Speaker 1: of them is young. So should the Cowboys be concerned
Speaker 1: at all that Zeke's going to Cabo to train? No,
Speaker 1: it's nice and hot. There doesn't As a matter of fact,
Speaker 1: they shut down the town it during the day at
Speaker 1: this time of year because it's so hot, like the
Speaker 1: banks shut down. Everybody takes siesta. Hmmmm. And you know
Speaker 1: when I and when I was and when I was there,
Speaker 1: I go, well, where does everybody go? It's so hot,
Speaker 1: and they go, well, we try to get into the hotels.
Speaker 1: I don't like the idea, Yeah, I really don't. I'll
Speaker 1: admit it. I don't like the idea. I think that
Speaker 1: if you want Ezekiel Elliott, and he's got a lot
Speaker 1: of fans on his side anyway, if you to me,
Speaker 1: stay in Frisco train, be around, be visible that way,
Speaker 1: if that's what you want to do, If that's how
Speaker 1: you want to do it, I think going to Cabo
Speaker 1: is not necessarily the most ideal place. If you told
Speaker 1: me you were going to Siberia or someplace like that
Speaker 1: where I feel like it would be harsh and brutal
Speaker 1: and tough and like Rocky four. Yeah, I'm training in
Speaker 1: the Amazon Jump. That's what That's what Cabo is. See,
Speaker 1: Cabo has got this idea. It's a vacation because of
Speaker 1: and the agent has a place there. Ye, seek also
Speaker 1: takes all his friends down there with you. Well, we
Speaker 1: need to wait and see what TMZ comes up with
Speaker 1: down there. Well, I'm sure they've dispatched somebody. Well, the
Speaker 1: bottom line from an organizational standpoint is it doesn't matter
Speaker 1: because he's dealing the cows are dealing with his agent,
Speaker 1: not Zi. It's phone calls. Whatever it gets done, he
Speaker 1: gets on a flight, he comes here. That's gonna be
Speaker 1: roll whenever he gets here, whenever it gets done, if
Speaker 1: it if it gets done sometime in training camp. But yeah,
Speaker 1: the optics aren't great. Is there great? Is there a
Speaker 1: point in time you would consider trading him. Now, you
Speaker 1: know that thought crossed my mind this morning. I was thinking,
Speaker 1: can I say, no, what are you gonna get? I'm
Speaker 1: just asking, I mean, what is there? Is there a
Speaker 1: price in your mind you're willing to get first for him?
Speaker 1: I'm gonna exna have to give me a first round pick. Okay,
Speaker 1: I don't want a first round pick super Bowl this year.
Speaker 1: First round pick doesn't help me this year. No, that's true,
Speaker 1: but does that but in you're in your in your
Speaker 1: mind is now never never entered my mind, never never
Speaker 1: felt like, you know, I want him two years left
Speaker 1: on his deal. I want him to show up and
Speaker 1: let's go on a super Bowl. I'm not thinking about
Speaker 1: trading him, No, just brainstorming. I thought this morning, what
Speaker 1: if they look to trading him and what would be
Speaker 1: a match. And you know, people have talked about Duke
Speaker 1: Johnson Cleveland because they've had so called abundance of running backs.
Speaker 1: So Kareem Hunt is suspended, doesn't he unhappy with his exactly?
Speaker 1: And so the point my point being, if you did
Speaker 1: trade him, you have to have somebody who comes in
Speaker 1: here and performs right now aside from absolutely pick whatever,
Speaker 1: I would not propose that at all you know, unless
Speaker 1: you think, but if somebody did offer you a one,
Speaker 1: you would consider it. No, that's what I would have
Speaker 1: to have. But I'm not sure I'm not trading him.
Speaker 1: You would have to be a player too, because Cam
Speaker 1: sit in the desert for six months before I trade him.
Speaker 1: So let your season go. I don't care, all right,
Speaker 1: because then who's the next guy that's gonna be in line?
Speaker 1: Let's say next man a right, right, let's next man
Speaker 1: into Jerry's office. Let's say it's nineteen ninety three all
Speaker 1: over again, okay, and Himett Smith. He couldn't he couldn't
Speaker 1: go anywhere he could. But that doesn't that's that's but
Speaker 1: that's beside the point. Right now. Let's say Zeke goes
Speaker 1: the first two games, all right, and he's not here.
Speaker 1: The Cowboys lose to the Giants and the Redskins to
Speaker 1: start the season. Okay, when does push come to shove
Speaker 1: on this deal? When see, we don't know what they want.
Speaker 1: We have an idea, do you We have an idea
Speaker 1: that they would like money similar to what the contract
Speaker 1: in Los Angeles. That's what That's what national reports are, Okay,
Speaker 1: that's what national reports. Yeah, I believe that. I don't
Speaker 1: if you told him, if if you, if I could say,
Speaker 1: but you don't know that they might want more than that. Okay,
Speaker 1: what if they want more? Okay, if that's the number,
Speaker 1: if they want to reset the market, and Jerry's trying
Speaker 1: to reset the market, right right, I mean, isn't that
Speaker 1: what you took from his comment to you Sunday night.
Speaker 1: I also took next man up and we'll be fine,
Speaker 1: bit you know. Yeah, Okay, so he's injured for two games. Yeah,
Speaker 1: well one game could decide that's this division. Well I
Speaker 1: got to deal with it. Well, what are you gonna do.
Speaker 1: You're gonna mess up your salary cap for the years
Speaker 1: to come because somebody held out on you, because then
Speaker 1: Amari Cooper's gonna hold out, and then Dak Prescott's gonna
Speaker 1: hold out. I know, I sat here and said, you
Speaker 1: can't set a precedent here and just give him whatever
Speaker 1: he wants so he gets in camp. Well that's why
Speaker 1: you can't trade him, because then he gets what he wants.
Speaker 1: Jerry on Sunday Night said he had a plan in
Speaker 1: place in case this thing lingers and gets close to
Speaker 1: the regular season. What might that plan be? When we

Speaker 1: we're having so much fun here at cowboys Camp. Would
Speaker 1: you like to throw back the curtain and explain and
Speaker 1: explain to the rest of the class exactly why you're laughing? Bicky?
Speaker 1: It was like a commercial. I had put my bones
Speaker 1: down and it was kind of un robbed, and I said, oh,
Speaker 1: I'll get some two skits and juice from that. Do
Speaker 1: you realize it's popcorn? Two little things? Amuse him? You
Speaker 1: know it's twofold, right, Okay, there's your popcorn ready and
Speaker 1: feed me? There we go? Oh there they all right,
Speaker 1: we're a week. We are on periscope as usual, and
Speaker 1: Brian is monitoring things over there. Yeah, I do appreciate it. Thanks, Bill,
Speaker 1: and I appreciate everybody out there across the world that's
Speaker 1: listening to us right now. We've kind of decided we'd
Speaker 1: like to get you guys more involved, and so I
Speaker 1: kind of put a little message out there. We'd love
Speaker 1: to take your questions, you know, about the team, things
Speaker 1: that we might see, things in camp. So if you
Speaker 1: would fire him in and then I'll scroll through them
Speaker 1: and keep them short if you could. Just got to
Speaker 1: read little bits, so if you keep them short, that
Speaker 1: will help me a lot, and then at some point
Speaker 1: in time Bill will call for him and we'll go
Speaker 1: that direction. Okay, you can also send me a tweet
Speaker 1: if you have a question or whatever at CBS eleven,
Speaker 1: Bill Jones, I'm on Twitter now. Dan Rodgers in fact
Speaker 1: says he reminds us that the Saints also have Latavious Murray.
Speaker 1: They do. Absolutely, Yeah, that's true. And one of the
Speaker 1: things though, on the flip side of it, the Redskins
Speaker 1: just added or will add Donald Penn at tackle because
Speaker 1: of a Trent Williams situation where he's not reporting. Now
Speaker 1: that sounds like a situation where he may not be
Speaker 1: long for that city. You know, they may move on
Speaker 1: from him, but they're doing the same thing. Essentially, It's like, Okay,
Speaker 1: he may be gone a while, it's bringing somebody else
Speaker 1: for now. Yeah, so we'll see. But that that is
Speaker 1: a bad situations again, yeah, because of his um things
Speaker 1: with his health and so forth. All Right, the right
Speaker 1: before the break, we talked about what Jerry said on
Speaker 1: Sunday night. He said he had a plan in place.
Speaker 1: He alluded to the fact that he had a plan
Speaker 1: in place in case this thing lingers. What could that
Speaker 1: plan possibly be signing Alfred Morris. No, he's not wrong,
Speaker 1: he's not wrong. I was told this about I was
Speaker 1: told this that when this before the season started, when
Speaker 1: the way back into the draft, going all the way
Speaker 1: back into the draft, that if they did not get
Speaker 1: a running back, that Jerry said, we'll just go get
Speaker 1: Alfred Morris. That that that that that Mickey's right. I mean,
Speaker 1: I know you said it with tongue in cheek, I know,
Speaker 1: but Mickey is actually very he's right that that was
Speaker 1: going to be the plan if if if they did
Speaker 1: not if they could not add a running back in
Speaker 1: the draft, but they added too, then that was going
Speaker 1: to be the plan, was that they could go sign
Speaker 1: Alfred More and the other thing is too. Once you
Speaker 1: get towards the end of preseason, if this thing is
Speaker 1: still protracted, hold out. I mean, you can see what
Speaker 1: happens in final cuts. There might still be an opportunity
Speaker 1: to add another guy if you need to. But scared,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, Road And what you gotta remember, Jerry has
Speaker 1: a hard time keeping secrets, sure does. He has a
Speaker 1: hard time. He wanted to tell you, but he just
Speaker 1: vailuely told you because it was already top of mind
Speaker 1: because he was already out there. But didn't we talk
Speaker 1: about it one day or somebody we had the discussion about, well,
Speaker 1: Alfred Morris is out there. Yeah, So I just I
Speaker 1: could say, I just to me, I'm count me as
Speaker 1: well as guys. It's worried just because I think Zeke's
Speaker 1: crazy enough to do this. I think I think, yeah,
Speaker 1: or crazy. I think he's I think he's one of
Speaker 1: those guys that could be very stubborn. And you know,
Speaker 1: and I I just don't. I don't. I don't feel
Speaker 1: like I'm dealing This is gonna sound terrible the way
Speaker 1: I'm saying. I don't think you're dealing with a normal
Speaker 1: football player here. And normal when I think of conventional
Speaker 1: thinking that now maybe the fact could be in a
Speaker 1: very positive way. Yeah exactly. But I'm not calling Zeke
Speaker 1: dumb or anything like that. I'm just saying, though, somebody
Speaker 1: that's very headstrong, somebody it's very much you know, on
Speaker 1: the field, he is, he's got this mentality, and then
Speaker 1: off the field, you're kind of like thinking, Okay, he's
Speaker 1: got a little crazy side to him. Anybody's he's holding
Speaker 1: out two years in advance. I mean all this stuff
Speaker 1: like that, And is it calculated what? I don't know,
Speaker 1: but I worry if your hope has to be that
Speaker 1: that maybe that Zeke does not want to miss game checks.
Speaker 1: That's got to be your hope right there, because he
Speaker 1: might be crazy enough to hold out the whole year.
Speaker 1: He might. Yeah, we've seen it in the league before.
Speaker 1: But we had this similar conversation with de Marcus Lawrence.
Speaker 1: I'm not saying like you said, Brian, they're not the
Speaker 1: same guy, but we've had the same fear. Well, if
Speaker 1: he doesn't get his surgery by this date. And I
Speaker 1: think finally DeMarcus decided he got on the phone with
Speaker 1: Steven himself and said, you know, let's figure this out.
Speaker 1: I want to get the surgery and be ready for
Speaker 1: the start of the season. Let's go try to win
Speaker 1: a championship. You think Zeke would really I'm not in
Speaker 1: his head, but would he really consider his best friend
Speaker 1: as the quarterback sitting out this season or many games
Speaker 1: to miss out an opportunity to go win a title.
Speaker 1: I just wonder, beyond the financial component, would he really
Speaker 1: be willing to do that. You're minimizing the influence of
Speaker 1: the agent. You're a blame it at all on Zeke.
Speaker 1: The agent works for you. Yeah, but the agent. A
Speaker 1: lot of these guys listening to their agent until they
Speaker 1: get to the point where now I'm losing money. The
Speaker 1: agent's not losing money, right, He made his money on
Speaker 1: Zeke's first deal, and so yeah, he's gonna make money
Speaker 1: if they get signed. But a lot of times the
Speaker 1: agent's got the agent in mind because if he gets
Speaker 1: a big deal, then I get a big deal. Right.
Speaker 1: And look, he didn't figure this out himself. He was
Speaker 1: told what to do. You know, let's let's realize that
Speaker 1: just turned twenty four years old. He didn't figure out
Speaker 1: the economics of a of a salary, of a salary Cap.
Speaker 1: Do you think he saw the agent and he heard
Speaker 1: what Melvin Gordon did in San Diego and he goes, oh, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's a good idea, I'd do that. Do you think
Speaker 1: he sees the direction though this team is going with
Speaker 1: his career? Do you think he sees that? What do
Speaker 1: you what do you mean running him into the ground
Speaker 1: Marco Murray? Yeah, just giving him five, you know, four
Speaker 1: hundred touches a year. Do you think I think he
Speaker 1: understoodands that he wants to be fall but he also
Speaker 1: wants his money to run the ball right and and
Speaker 1: and he understands that I gotta get it now because
Speaker 1: who knows? And that's why you know, Yeah, Todd Gurley
Speaker 1: had got his deal for one year, and now is
Speaker 1: he gonna be the same back because of that knee issue?
Speaker 1: So maybe maybe they were trying to give him a
Speaker 1: shorter deal, you know, we don't know. Maybe they said
Speaker 1: three years not five, you know, and then you get
Speaker 1: a chance to get another contract. That's finding good if
Speaker 1: you're healthy and you're not running the ground after three
Speaker 1: more years. But you know, they've got his rights for
Speaker 1: you know, two more years. So okay. The other thing
Speaker 1: that Jerry I said. We talked about a little bit yesterday,
Speaker 1: but it's now getting run around the nation ESPN, NFL
Speaker 1: Network and so forth. The quote from Jerry that you
Speaker 1: don't have to have a rushing champion to win the
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. I think you should. You have to play.
Speaker 1: I think his whole right, just not that set exactly
Speaker 1: the whole thing the contract And to me, now I
Speaker 1: should listen to you guys before I say. But to me,
Speaker 1: what he was saying was not that, oh, I can
Speaker 1: get any Tom Dick and Harry to be my running
Speaker 1: back and we can win a Super Bowl. Because until
Speaker 1: Emmett Smith won the rushing title, no rushing guy that
Speaker 1: won a rushing title won a Super Bowl. Four four
Speaker 1: and three of them are Emmett, one other guy, Terrell David,
Speaker 1: one other guy, one other guy. Yeah, So I don't
Speaker 1: think what that's what he was saying. I think what
Speaker 1: he was saying, in a roundabout way is I don't
Speaker 1: have to pay top dollar for a rushing champ. I'm
Speaker 1: trying to reset the market. He's saying, I don't have
Speaker 1: to pay him Todd Gurley money because I've got these
Speaker 1: other things that take care of And I think that's
Speaker 1: was his point on that not that nah, Like he said,
Speaker 1: any one of five coaches could I think I think
Speaker 1: maybe that was it was a message to the to
Speaker 1: Zeke that Okay, what's more important to you a rushing
Speaker 1: championship or a super Bowl? And what he is saying is, Okay,
Speaker 1: in order to win a super Bowl, we have to
Speaker 1: have enough funds left over to field an entire team, right,
Speaker 1: not pay just one player because you want to rush
Speaker 1: to reset the running back market or and that goes back,
Speaker 1: but it goes back to what Tank said to Steven
Speaker 1: on the phone. It's not my problem, my problem. And
Speaker 1: we got a mail back question that somebody said, why
Speaker 1: don't they just get all these guys that are up
Speaker 1: for a deal potentially in a room and just explain
Speaker 1: to him what we gotta do here, that we got
Speaker 1: to give a little bit if you guys want to
Speaker 1: go win a super Bowl. That's where you talk about
Speaker 1: agents being involved too. Yeah, they don't play a card game.
Speaker 1: Everybody draw and then that gets the most money, the
Speaker 1: next guy gets the next most. On my Twitter at
Speaker 1: CBS eleven Bill Jones, Stephen Nclario says, if you don't
Speaker 1: need a rushing champ to win a Super Bowl? Why
Speaker 1: did you draft him fourth overall and build a team
Speaker 1: around him? Believe Bryan asked that yesterday. You don't know
Speaker 1: he was going to win a rushing champion chip, but
Speaker 1: you expect if you're if you're drafting four overall, he's
Speaker 1: got that ability. Drafted talent is what it is. There's
Speaker 1: other running backs that are talent. Walder Peyton was pretty talented, right, Absolutely,
Speaker 1: he was all right so and I don't know if
Speaker 1: he wanted rushing. He didn't win a championship when the
Speaker 1: Bears won a Super Bowl. Bears didn't win many games
Speaker 1: with him, which was was shame him and Barry Sanders
Speaker 1: had a very similar career that Barry Sanders. You know,
Speaker 1: he won one and been dedroit, didn't win anything. This
Speaker 1: team was very different too. When they did draft him.
Speaker 1: You had a quarterback coming off of injury who was
Speaker 1: in his late getting to be late thirties. You had
Speaker 1: a defense that was not very good overall, and he
Speaker 1: was gonna be kind of the deodorant for everything. And
Speaker 1: he was and he's still you know, he was still
Speaker 1: the focus. He was the reason that they needed ball
Speaker 1: control to save the defense. And that's what his job was,
Speaker 1: and that's why I believe that to help Romo, but
Speaker 1: to also make sure that that defense got protected, and
Speaker 1: they've drafted better defensive players since you know. So, do
Speaker 1: you feel like that you've changed your attitude about Zeke? Now?
Speaker 1: What do you mean that he's holding out? Yeah? Well,
Speaker 1: I mean in a way that do you feel like, Okay,
Speaker 1: they could move on without him, whereas before when he
Speaker 1: was here, that you couldn't play without him. I wouldn't
Speaker 1: want to play without him, and I'm not sure they
Speaker 1: would be as good with I haven't seen anybody out
Speaker 1: there to tell me that I got a guy that
Speaker 1: can rush for twelve hundred yards. You haven't been here
Speaker 1: a week, That's what I'm saying. That's why I said that, Okay,
Speaker 1: now they might be able to. Yeah, but that, like
Speaker 1: you said, do you want to take that chance? You changed?
Speaker 1: Do you feel like you've changed in regard to can
Speaker 1: they win without it? Yeah? If if Zeke? If we
Speaker 1: remember remember how we just when he was suspended, how
Speaker 1: we sat here and fought you know, the league. They're
Speaker 1: a bunch of sobs, you know, gosh, how can you
Speaker 1: do this? Is Zec? Everything we've ever talked about has
Speaker 1: been positivity about Zeke and how he's played. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: now I feel like as a whole, everybody's like, ah,
Speaker 1: you can, yeah, you'll be okay. You don't need a
Speaker 1: you don't need this, you don't need that. Why why
Speaker 1: have we changed okay? Why have we changed our attitude
Speaker 1: because he's Is it because he's holding out? I honestly
Speaker 1: haven't changed my attitude on it. I really haven't. And
Speaker 1: this may sound like a cop out, but I don't.
Speaker 1: I don't blame him wanting it's gonna be okay that
Speaker 1: we played without ze I didn't say that. I didn't
Speaker 1: say that. I didn't say that one bit. When he's
Speaker 1: on the field, I feel like this team can score
Speaker 1: at any time. You feel like they should pay him,
Speaker 1: then I think they should pay him what they can
Speaker 1: afford to pay him. Yes, okay should? I think the
Speaker 1: case can certainly be made that he should be making
Speaker 1: basically what Todd Gurley money. Yeah. I mean, in my opinion, well,
Speaker 1: from an agent's point of view, it's like, well, yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm the rushing champ. What's the highest salary right now? Okay,
Speaker 1: let's go above that. I mean, that's just natural agent thinking.
Speaker 1: That's what probably Zeke's thinking himself. And then why have
Speaker 1: a contract. Oh no, I understand what you're saying. I mean,
Speaker 1: he signed it, but a three year deal instead of
Speaker 1: a five year deal. Contracts are broken every day. Well
Speaker 1: that's fine, but I don't have to break it. You know,
Speaker 1: it's well to play. Wait wait, wait, wait a second.
Speaker 1: The rules in the NFL for a first round draft pick,
Speaker 1: the club has your options dollars next year. Yeah, if
Speaker 1: they want it. That's what I'm saying that if you
Speaker 1: don't like it, you don't have to play. You can
Speaker 1: go play in the what's the new league that's starting up,
Speaker 1: to go to Canada. I just think the narrative about
Speaker 1: Zeke has gone. A draft Dodger is gone from Man,
Speaker 1: you gotta have him July everybody's head. You know, I
Speaker 1: was listening to Brian. I'm sorry, I heard you what
Speaker 1: you said. You know, I think the narrative about him
Speaker 1: is gone from you know, people just saying, oh my gosh,
Speaker 1: you can't play without him too. Oh it's okay. How
Speaker 1: much is off the field stuff played into that with
Speaker 1: some See, we don't know, we don't know. I think
Speaker 1: fans are tired. Yeah, yeah, but Brian, the fans aren't
Speaker 1: running the I know, I know, Mickey, are the people
Speaker 1: you're talking about, Mickey? We don't know. Maybe the front
Speaker 1: office is thinking the same thing. Maybe the front office
Speaker 1: is saying, listen, we're tired of dealing with this. I'm
Speaker 1: tired of helping you with legal fees or gett't you
Speaker 1: know counseled. They understand how important he is to what's
Speaker 1: going on on. Think so too. But there they can't
Speaker 1: fool themselves. However, now, the only difference between now in
Speaker 1: twenty seventeen basically is the defense is better. So that
Speaker 1: gives you a chance. Right, he was drafted to make,
Speaker 1: hopefully get the defense better. I think, well, the defense,
Speaker 1: he can't get the defense off the field. Uh. And
Speaker 1: then this offense is the receiving corps is deeper I
Speaker 1: think than it ever has been. And your quarterback could
Speaker 1: take a leap forward this year. And that's that's that's
Speaker 1: the major key. When he wasn't here, if you were
Speaker 1: a defensive coordinator, what are you doing? Dak and Dez
Speaker 1: are not going to beat me. Now, find a way
Speaker 1: to beat me. That They were going to make sure
Speaker 1: that didn't happen, and they did. You ask me. I
Speaker 1: feel like that Zeke is more important contractually than Dak
Speaker 1: because I trust I trust what I see with Zeke
Speaker 1: more than I trust I see with Dak. Does that
Speaker 1: make sense, I'm just saying you. No. No, I'm just
Speaker 1: saying me. I'm just saying me. Dak is not Tom Brady,
Speaker 1: absolutely not. But somebody's gonna say a look at New England.
Speaker 1: Look at New England. They win and they don't have
Speaker 1: a running back. Every year they changed drafting the first
Speaker 1: round and running back. But Sony Michelle is a first
Speaker 1: round running back, but they didn't have him. Last year
Speaker 1: they did Super Bowl, they won him Super goot back Michell. Well,
Speaker 1: they still did it by committee. Get ready, it was committee,
Speaker 1: but get ready, get ready, New England. When everybody else
Speaker 1: is gonna play spread offense and throw the ball in
Speaker 1: all that, New England is gonna go the other way.
Speaker 1: They're gonna line us, swam the ball down your throat.
Speaker 1: And they drafted to Gay from Alabama this year. Damien Harris,
Speaker 1: who's he run the first rounder? But he was close
Speaker 1: and um he might he might be better than the
Speaker 1: first round That was from Alabama. Who's pound, Who's pound
Speaker 1: for pound? The best player on this team pound for pound?
Speaker 1: Just best player? So that make it a trick question
Speaker 1: pound for pound, Yeah, it doesn't matter. Yeah, like the
Speaker 1: heavy weights count. Sure, some will say Zach Martin. I'd
Speaker 1: say Zach Martin, and I would put Zeke second below him.
Speaker 1: So that's my answer, Like, he's still very important to
Speaker 1: what this thing is. And and Kellen Moore has told us,
Speaker 1: I mean, we're our foundation. Is still our foundation, right,
Speaker 1: I mean, they're not going to just sling it sixty
Speaker 1: times a game, even if Dak does take a step forward.
Speaker 1: So yeah, I mean they they need him. He knows that.
Speaker 1: But Mickey's right too. I mean it's gotta work. It's
Speaker 1: got to work under the cap because they've they've got
Speaker 1: I mean, they've got other guys coming up down the
Speaker 1: line too in a couple of years. Why would I
Speaker 1: feel Why would I feel better paying Zeke than I
Speaker 1: would Dak? Where are you gonna end up paying him both?
Speaker 1: I'm gonna pay one thirty over thirty million dollars though, well,
Speaker 1: Zeke has been at the top of his position for
Speaker 1: three years now. Absolutely, I mean he is, and that's
Speaker 1: That's why they're in this situation right now. And I'll
Speaker 1: say it till day I die. How many touchdowns did
Speaker 1: Alfred Morris score in twenty seventeen. We'll have that answer

Speaker 1: Could continue to fire in if you mind. Uh, they
Speaker 1: want to know do you think Amor might sign first?
Speaker 1: Be a smart move for him. He's in camp, yes,
Speaker 1: and he was talking to him already yesterday on the field.
Speaker 1: Chance that he might sign, you said yesterday you thought
Speaker 1: that that it would be I always thought he would
Speaker 1: be the first one because numbers and stuff. Val Hey,
Speaker 1: I think it's always been just hey, get in there.
Speaker 1: If you can get a deal done, we'll make a
Speaker 1: deal with you. And then there's there's a certain amount
Speaker 1: of money and let's you know, let's go whoever. It's
Speaker 1: not necessarily a pure pecking order, although I think getting
Speaker 1: DAC done before the seasons the priority. I agree with
Speaker 1: you on that. Guys want to know out there, they say,
Speaker 1: what do you guys think the starting d line will
Speaker 1: be with Lord's healthy, that'd be for the Giants game. Um,
Speaker 1: Tyrone Crawford at the other end at the right end
Speaker 1: or Robert Quinn. Well that I think that's the only
Speaker 1: one that's up in the year because you got Antoine
Speaker 1: and Malik inside, yeah, and Tristan Hill behind Malik. I think,
Speaker 1: uh this, uh Covington is going to be a player.
Speaker 1: Just looking at him. Thanks mackea. I appreciate you didn't
Speaker 1: see him in the one on ones. Yes, that held
Speaker 1: him out, but he was in the team. So the team, Well,
Speaker 1: he's coming back from the calf somebody. They're easing him in, Yeah,
Speaker 1: and then you're gonna have Armstrong and Taco's gotta get going. Yeah.
Speaker 1: But he's got a guaranteed contract, so he has a
Speaker 1: little bit of a net his base salaries guaranteed this year. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so I don't know if you want to, you know,
Speaker 1: eat that and not have a player, you gotta keep
Speaker 1: be careful on how much dead money you eat. And
Speaker 1: then you know, Jalen Jelks, let's see it, Carrie Hyder
Speaker 1: and Hyder I forgot. I knew I was forgetting something.
Speaker 1: Joe Jackson had an interception yesterday. He did because Rico
Speaker 1: drop the ball. Skillets some skillets there yesterday. One more question,
Speaker 1: how many how many? How many interceptions do you think
Speaker 1: Dak has from drop balls being picked off? That was
Speaker 1: Mike White that that was not just saying he had
Speaker 1: a few of the first half of the season last
Speaker 1: ye Yeah, I sure did. Couple final question here if
Speaker 1: I could, before we let Bill answer some questions as well.
Speaker 1: Who needs to have a good camp to stay on
Speaker 1: the roster on the defensive line or offensive line or
Speaker 1: offensive line? Yeah, I think you kind of talked about
Speaker 1: the defensive line. We can maybe talk about the offensive line.
Speaker 1: I think Looney's spot is safe. Is he not as
Speaker 1: a swing guy inside? Yeah? Uh? Adam Redman, Sue Philo
Speaker 1: think see they worry about his weight, he gets too heavy,
Speaker 1: gets to Hey, he looks like he gets too heavy
Speaker 1: the way he moves. Sometimes he's moved around the league
Speaker 1: a little bit. Okay, one more question, then more likely
Speaker 1: to have a breakout Dorg's Armstrong or Xavier Woods? M h,
Speaker 1: Well your words gave a little shot to Jason Witten yesterday.
Speaker 1: Since since since Woods started sixteen games last year, Armstrong
Speaker 1: barely played to break out, you got to come from nowhere.
Speaker 1: So I think it would be Armstrong because I think, well,
Speaker 1: if Woods Woods is breaking out, he's breaking out into
Speaker 1: the Pro Bowl. Yeah, how's that? Okay? I like Rob
Speaker 1: You thinking the same way Woods? Yeah, but I just
Speaker 1: like watching Dorance rush the pastor man, I I he's
Speaker 1: got He's an explosive pass rusher. Like I think you
Speaker 1: give him more reps, you're gonna see him really rise. Okay,
Speaker 1: what about Whitton? Can you have a breakout, break out,
Speaker 1: break out from nowhere, comeback player of the year? Yeah? Yeah,
Speaker 1: all right, I'm still all right, Bill, I'm still kind
Speaker 1: of going through keep going. Okay, how about one more
Speaker 1: then I'll go one more with you. Dan, I'm sorry,
Speaker 1: this is like technology kills me. Right Now, what player
Speaker 1: would you like to have their first Pro Bowl? What
Speaker 1: player would you like to see have their first opportunity
Speaker 1: at the Pro Bowl? Mhmm. It was a good one
Speaker 1: bow and I got one. Go for it. Make it
Speaker 1: you just fired out if you want. That's that's a
Speaker 1: great thing about radio. I like that which by the way, yes,
Speaker 1: he used me the other day on the little run
Speaker 1: around the goal post. Yeah, he goes leaping up into
Speaker 1: the air and he hits his head on the crossbar
Speaker 1: the goal post. Let me ask you this, Bill, Wait,
Speaker 1: did he really? Bill, I'm new to the holding the
Speaker 1: boom mic. Bill asked Jeff Heath about it. That's what
Speaker 1: I'm saying. Bill asked the one guy that would have
Speaker 1: zero reaction. Bill goes, what do you think about? And
Speaker 1: Jeff Heath looks him like he wasn't impressed. It's like
Speaker 1: pretty athletic, and Bill's having to follow up like, oh, yeah,
Speaker 1: he's kind of amazing, isn't it anything? Yeah, he did
Speaker 1: say you to a lot of guys. Yeah, if you
Speaker 1: ask the one guy that would have zero reaction, that
Speaker 1: was the first DPE we talked to. Asked me, right,
Speaker 1: are you kidding me? I've never seen that before. I
Speaker 1: mean just think about that. I mean, you're you're basically
Speaker 1: hitting your head at your six foot tall and you
Speaker 1: hit your head on the rim him of the Well,
Speaker 1: that's I mean the gold Cross. So it's a forty
Speaker 1: eight inch vertical. Well, we see where the running starres
Speaker 1: almost due. Yeah, but they're six nine Yeah. Well yeah,
Speaker 1: what's his his? Well, that would be a forty eight vertical,
Speaker 1: but it's where the running start, right, Okay, now his versical.
Speaker 1: His vertical at the combine was thirty four. His broad
Speaker 1: jump was eleven feet, so this is a combination of
Speaker 1: a broad and a vertical. Yeah, he had a good
Speaker 1: practice yesterday. By the way they threw. They threw on
Speaker 1: him a couple of times, and he was right there
Speaker 1: on its. Hey, let's get some picks and make the
Speaker 1: Pro Bowl. This ye right, that would be good. That
Speaker 1: would be the difference. They're asking the background noise once again,
Speaker 1: it's the sander, Sander and blaster, the sander next door.
Speaker 1: Sorry about that, Jerry says, it's a damn drill. It's out.
Speaker 1: It's they're building Steff next door, So sorry about that.
Speaker 1: If you want to pick for the first Pro Bowl
Speaker 1: that I would like to see how about MALIEK. Collins.
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't good one. He'd have to get
Speaker 1: his sack totals up obviously, But when he's healthy, he's
Speaker 1: been really good for them. I just I wish him
Speaker 1: good health. I wish him a full healthy season and
Speaker 1: see what he can do. Yeah, I'm with you on that.
Speaker 1: How many touchdowns did Alfred Morris score in two thousand
Speaker 1: and seventeen with the Cowboys? Mickey, that was your question
Speaker 1: before we took a break. I believe in five starts
Speaker 1: in fourteen games, he had one hundred and fifteen carries
Speaker 1: for five forty seven and one touchdown. One touchdown. He
Speaker 1: averaged four point eight yards a carry. Okay. But how
Speaker 1: many yards to carry did Zeke average the last two years? Okay?
Speaker 1: And how many touchdowns did he have? He had more? Yes? One,
Speaker 1: Alfred had one? Yeah, yes, Zeke had six last year,
Speaker 1: seven the year before and fifteen in two thou sixteen
Speaker 1: had zone offense. Right, What did you argue in twenty
Speaker 1: seventeen defenses played them differently with Alfred in the game. Yeah, absolutely,
Speaker 1: because he couldn't beat them. Zeke can beat you. And
Speaker 1: what was Kellen? And what was Kellen Moore's answer to
Speaker 1: what do you have to do better in the red
Speaker 1: zone to improve? He said, run the ball better. Yeah,
Speaker 1: run the ball better. And if you run the ball
Speaker 1: better inside the twenty, then that means maybe you're running
Speaker 1: the ball better inside the ten because you got to
Speaker 1: knock somebody off the ball off the line of scrimmage,
Speaker 1: and they didn't do a very good job of that
Speaker 1: last year. So the point is this is not going
Speaker 1: to be a sky Wars offense. That's right, Kellen Moore
Speaker 1: call of the play. I like that Skywars. You know,
Speaker 1: it's not like this. That's something new. That movie came
Speaker 1: out in seventy seven. So I misspoke. I don't think
Speaker 1: you knew. I didn't know what's Star Wars. I'm worried
Speaker 1: about you. Yes, I mean I invented my own turn Okay,
Speaker 1: sky Wars, right, Luke Starwalker. By the way, I think
Speaker 1: Blake Jarwin is going to be a breakout guy talking
Speaker 1: about I didn't think the guys might be right. Yeah,
Speaker 1: good for them, and he just needs the opportunity guy
Speaker 1: thinkson Garrett kind of sounds like he absolutely thinks they
Speaker 1: might be right. I'm telling you this two tight end
Speaker 1: offense is going to be back to where it used
Speaker 1: to be with those two guys on the field, back
Speaker 1: when Martellis and Jason. Yeah, Martellis and yeah, all right
Speaker 1: we got we have two minute warning yet three minute,
Speaker 1: three minute warning? All right? What do we expect on
Speaker 1: the practice field today? It's gonna be great seeing Travis
Speaker 1: Frederick drill. Yeah, Travis Frederick, Yes, yes, I want to
Speaker 1: see that. I want to see if. I don't know
Speaker 1: if they're gonna put him in the one on one
Speaker 1: pass rush drill, but I think he's gonna get in team.
Speaker 1: They might give him one or two reps in it,
Speaker 1: but I just want to see him stand up and
Speaker 1: hold somebody off. Yeah, that's coming full speed. In Training
Speaker 1: Camp Live today, we're gonna focus on the team period,
Speaker 1: so we'll focus in on Travis Frederick. Have some video
Speaker 1: up for you guys to see him and how he's
Speaker 1: battling inside. Those inside guys did a nice job yesterday
Speaker 1: the human log and then also Collins there was some
Speaker 1: battling going on in with us. Williams snow size, I
Speaker 1: mean Connor Williams. I'll tell you what. Connor Williams on
Speaker 1: a pad. You see the past that kind of tried.
Speaker 1: He tried to jump. I think he was trying to jump.
Speaker 1: He was trying to jump a rookie. He was trying
Speaker 1: to jump hill and he'll kind of swum around him
Speaker 1: a little bit. He was trying to short set him.
Speaker 1: It's what he was trying to do. So next time,
Speaker 1: Connor said, Okay, I'm not gonna short set. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: sit back and do what I'm supposed to do. And
Speaker 1: I want to see. I want to see if if
Speaker 1: Reggie Davis is a one hit wonder. Yeah, can he
Speaker 1: be consistent? And you know the other thing is he's
Speaker 1: gotten some punt return reps back there, trying to give
Speaker 1: him some more to do. You know, if the more
Speaker 1: he can do, maybe try to earn that roster spot.
Speaker 1: All I know is he can fly. Well, we saw it.
Speaker 1: I think he had like three touchdown catches in one
Speaker 1: of those OTAs. Yes, you know he can move. That's
Speaker 1: when we figured we finally realized he was there. He
Speaker 1: had been there all last year and I don't think
Speaker 1: anybody knew who he looked like. Can't Cooper Rush also
Speaker 1: build on that good day? Yes, got to be consistent,
Speaker 1: that's the deal. In training camp. By the way, we
Speaker 1: will have the Cowboys Blue White Scrimmage on. Yeah. I
Speaker 1: got that rundown this morning. Yeah, part of that, so
Speaker 1: we'll talk about that as the week goes on. That's
Speaker 1: it for talking Cowboys for today. Reminder Jason Garrett is
Speaker 1: at three o'clock Central time, one o'clock Pacific time. We'll
Speaker 1: check you next time. Get your popcorn ready. This has
Speaker 1: been a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com and the
