Speaker 1: The following He is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot
Speaker 1: Com and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
Speaker 2: Cowboys.
Speaker 1: This He's Talking Cowboys Training live from Dallas Cowboys Training.
Speaker 3: Came in Oxnard, Calos Stretch.
Speaker 4: Six seconds dot.
Speaker 3: Pitton touchdown and now your hosts Isaiah Standback, Nick Harris,
Speaker 3: John Mashoda and Kyle Yeomans.
Speaker 2: For the first time in twenty twenty three. Even though
Speaker 2: it might be a preseason it's for the first victory
Speaker 2: Monday of twenty twenty three. Everybody, I was like, well,
Speaker 2: I gotta win. How about that is? It's uh yeah,
Speaker 2: it's not as exciting. I guess it's a regular victory Monday.
Speaker 2: But welcome in nonetheless to a Victory Monday of Talking Cowboys,
Speaker 2: presented by Black Rifle Coffee Company, the official coffee of
Speaker 2: the Dallas Cowboys. Alongside Isaiah Stanbach, Nick Harris, John Matchoda,
Speaker 2: I'm Kyle Yeomens with Chris Beam of course running everything
Speaker 2: in the back here.
Speaker 4: It is, here's the music of the Dallas Beatings.
Speaker 2: On top of it, the Cowboys get to win thirty
Speaker 2: one sixteen on Saturday night against the Las Vegas Raiders
Speaker 2: in front of Tom Brady and Company, who was of
Speaker 2: course in the ownership group with the Raiders. Tom Brady
Speaker 2: said ruin their night to his quarterbacks before walking out
Speaker 2: of the tunnel, and instead Will Greer.
Speaker 4: Goes and ruins the Raiders night.
Speaker 2: Had really his best career performance, even though it might
Speaker 2: have been in a preseason action.
Speaker 4: We're gonna get into Will Greer.
Speaker 2: We'll get into the reason why Will Greer is a
Speaker 2: talking point at this point in time, But I want
Speaker 2: to start with the thoughts around the game, John, what
Speaker 2: did you think about the Cowboys in the way that
Speaker 2: they fared in that final preseason matchup.
Speaker 5: I mean, obviously Will Greer looked great. He had a
Speaker 5: lot of motivation, so it's not a huge surprise that
Speaker 5: he played well. That would probably be my biggest takeaway.
Speaker 5: Second is probably it was entertaining to see Dak Prescott
Speaker 5: call plays. Just to see him on the sideline doing that,
Speaker 5: seemed like he was probably more into the game than
Speaker 5: he would have been if he wasn't doing that. And
Speaker 5: then I'd say probably Hunter Lipke that would probably be
Speaker 5: the other big one. But we knew going in that
Speaker 5: Lipke and Greer were going to play a ton, so
Speaker 5: it's tough to balance, like, Okay, how much does this mean?
Speaker 5: Like for example, like Dak you know, calling the plays
Speaker 5: having success with it, You're kind of sitting there and
Speaker 5: you're like, oh, yeah, Like there's a lot of people
Speaker 5: that probably like, oh, he could probably do this on Sundays.
Speaker 5: And he was quick to say after the game like, no,
Speaker 5: I mean they were running three coverages. This wasn't like
Speaker 5: a regular season game or anything like that, but it
Speaker 5: still made it a lot more entertaining for a game
Speaker 5: where you knew the starters weren't going to play.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you really kind of got to see that was
Speaker 2: just pure Will greer Nick. I mean the fact that
Speaker 2: the emotion was high. Of course, the Cowboys trading a
Speaker 2: fourth round pick for dre Trey Lance on Friday, and
Speaker 2: that was really the talking point. We'll dive into Trey
Speaker 2: Lance in a couple moments, but I mean you could
Speaker 2: see the emotions even after the game. You were right
Speaker 2: in the middle of it in the postgame press conference
Speaker 2: or postgame open locker room, and he was about as
Speaker 2: emotional as you could get following a.
Speaker 4: Performance like that. Yeah.
Speaker 6: Absolutely, I'll say the performance reminded me of when he
Speaker 6: was a senior at was Virginia walking into Austin, Texas
Speaker 6: and coming back down I believe it was seventeen and
Speaker 6: winning that game and scoring the winning two point conversion
Speaker 6: and just going horns down. But no, it was really
Speaker 6: fun to see Will Beck in his elite form, and
Speaker 6: he was so good on Saturday on Saturday night, and
Speaker 6: I was kind of watching the highlights back last night. Man,
Speaker 6: there's a fit for him in this league somewhere, and
Speaker 6: I think he could be a really good backup somewhere.
Speaker 6: But talking about the emotion, he was very emotional because
Speaker 6: he had gotten a lot really close with these guys,
Speaker 6: Dak Prescott, he had mentioned, you know, by name of course,
Speaker 6: Cooper Rush. That entire quarterback room was really close knit
Speaker 6: and while they were competitive, they were brothers with each other.
Speaker 6: And so you could see the emotion in Will just
Speaker 6: having to walk away from those guys, which is tough.
Speaker 6: But you know, I'm really excited to see where he
Speaker 6: lands this week, because I know he'll land somewhere.
Speaker 2: I'm looking up on the screen and I'm seeing Dak
Speaker 2: Prescott being interviewed postgame, and Nick Harris is in the
Speaker 2: corner of that.
Speaker 4: Shot as well. On NFL picture of that earlier.
Speaker 2: What were your takeaways from from Saturdays when Isaiah a great,
Speaker 2: great job again by the way in the booth, got
Speaker 2: a chance to look at it.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, there you go. It's very nice.
Speaker 7: I gotta be better about my facial expression.
Speaker 4: I got to smile a little bit.
Speaker 8: Gonna take it till you make it. No thanks, K why?
Speaker 9: But I was just happy and proud of Will gear
Speaker 9: Because people forget.
Speaker 8: People forget really quickly in this industry.
Speaker 9: And Will Greer was in competition, in real competition, and
Speaker 9: was actually leading the competition to be the backup quarterback
Speaker 9: for the Dallas Cowboys just a year ago, and had
Speaker 9: it not been for his injury, he probably would have
Speaker 9: beat out Cooper Rush last preseason. It didn't work out
Speaker 9: that way, right, And the league is the league, and
Speaker 9: things happen the way they happened. But what you saw
Speaker 9: on Saturday night is what he's fully capable of. Nobody
Speaker 9: questions whether or not Will Greer is smart enough. Nobody
Speaker 9: questions whether or not Will Grear has the attributes in
Speaker 9: terms of ability to run or the ability to throw.
Speaker 8: Nobody has those questions.
Speaker 9: All the questions regarding Will Greer was always his decision making, always,
Speaker 9: and that is fully in his power to be able
Speaker 9: to correct at any point in time in his life.
Speaker 9: And he corrected that on Saturday night. He made the
Speaker 9: right choices, He made the right decisions. He took the
Speaker 9: easy plays, he took the dump downs, he took the
Speaker 9: flat routes. He allowed his guys to go out there
Speaker 9: and make plays for him, and because of that, his
Speaker 9: stat line was absolutely insane. His ability to use his legs,
Speaker 9: guess what, that's what he does. That's natural for him.
Speaker 9: Throwing on the run, getting out the pocket, bootlegs, those
Speaker 9: things are all things that are he's capable of doing
Speaker 9: every single time he touches the field. He just made
Speaker 9: the right decisions. So it's kind of it's awesome for
Speaker 9: him that he did that on that platform, but it
Speaker 9: sucks because if he had he done this before, he
Speaker 9: wouldn't be in this position.
Speaker 5: See I kind of make the argument that he didn't
Speaker 5: even have and he's saying it at all. Yeah, I
Speaker 5: really honestly don't think it mattered about training again the preseason.
Speaker 5: The only chance he was gonna have to like make
Speaker 5: a meaningful impact on this team was to be the
Speaker 5: backup and the only way that was happening was un
Speaker 5: an injury. And the only reason I say that is
Speaker 5: because he's not replacing Dak And I'm sorry. There's just
Speaker 5: nothing you're gonna do with Oxnard. There's nothing you're gonna
Speaker 5: do in these preseason games that are gonna make me go, yeah,
Speaker 5: let's get rid of the guy that's five and one
Speaker 5: as a starter stepping in a backup situation. That's the
Speaker 5: thing about Cooper Rush, Like, yeah, he doesn't wow you
Speaker 5: with a lot of things, but to go five and
Speaker 5: one as a starter and it's not like any of
Speaker 5: those where like he had a lot, like a big
Speaker 5: heads up like hawming it about to be the starter.
Speaker 5: And it wasn't like he just beat all bad teams.
Speaker 5: I mean there were some good teams, the Bengals, the
Speaker 5: Rams before everybody got hurt two years ago against Minnesota.
Speaker 5: Like you're not gonna sit there and go away from
Speaker 5: that just because you're just like, yeah, you know.
Speaker 10: We could have a stronger arm.
Speaker 5: Yeah we could have a guy that's a little bit no,
Speaker 5: that is exactly what you want in a backup quarterback.
Speaker 5: The other thing, and is obviously we'll get into the
Speaker 5: addition on their team. The other problem that for Will
Speaker 5: Grear is his age, because he's twenty eight, Cooper Rush
Speaker 5: is twenty nine, about to be thirty, and Dak is thirty.
Speaker 5: And when you are all in that clump, like if
Speaker 5: Will Greer is twenty two twenty three, well, first of all,
Speaker 5: they're not making the trade that we're going to talk about.
Speaker 5: And second of all, he's still going to be on
Speaker 5: this team. But it's because they're all in kind of
Speaker 5: that same clump together. But I mean to your guy's point,
Speaker 5: and there's no question that he can play in this league.
Speaker 5: It just he kind of got in a tough spot where,
Speaker 5: let's be honest, like two years ago, we never thought
Speaker 5: Cooper Rush would get into games and play as well
Speaker 5: as he has. If you just go off of preseason
Speaker 5: and training camp practices, you never would have been like,
Speaker 5: oh yeah, no, I could tell yeah. I remember third
Speaker 5: practice in ads, Rush looked like he was ready. You
Speaker 5: never saw that. You never saw it. And in a way,
Speaker 5: it's kind of like Dak too, like there were a
Speaker 5: tone of those pricees with Jamil Showers. You never were like,
Speaker 5: oh no, no, this guy Kelmore is gonna get hurt
Speaker 5: and he'll take Tony's job. Like nobody was saying that
Speaker 5: at the time. What happens in the games, to me,
Speaker 5: it just is matters so much more.
Speaker 2: So with that being said, you talked about how Will
Speaker 2: Greer had little to no say over the quarterback depth chart.
Speaker 2: If he plays like he did on Saturday in the
Speaker 2: preseason the first two games against Seattle and against Jacksonville
Speaker 2: in Week one, do they make the trade for Trey Lance?
Speaker 4: Do they even go out and make it? Or was
Speaker 4: the value too good.
Speaker 2: There for the Cowboys and a fourth round pick, a
Speaker 2: former top top three overall selection in the NFL draft
Speaker 2: back in twenty twenty one.
Speaker 4: Was the value too good there to pass up? Period?
Speaker 4: No matter how your backup quarterbacks played, I.
Speaker 5: Would say the majority of people would say they don't
Speaker 5: make the trade. They stick with him if that happened, sure,
Speaker 5: but the majority of people don't matter. The only person
Speaker 5: that matters at end of day is Jerry Jones and
Speaker 5: the fact that Trey Lance was a third overall pick,
Speaker 5: that they had a high second round grade on him
Speaker 5: and looked at him as a potential future starter in
Speaker 5: the NFL. I just think that that was like just
Speaker 5: too much of a like a thing that Jerry was
Speaker 5: not going to pass up on when he said certain
Speaker 5: talks before that game about how we just didn't want
Speaker 5: to hang up the phone. Well, when Jerry is committed
Speaker 5: to like that, he's not going to.
Speaker 10: Lose out on a deal.
Speaker 5: And so I think trey Lan's becoming available is the
Speaker 5: key part in that too, because again, if that doesn't happen,
Speaker 5: Will Greer is clearly still here. He's not going anywhere.
Speaker 5: But because he became available and Jerry fell in love
Speaker 5: with that. Really, at the end of the day, it's
Speaker 5: only about what he thought. You know, you could have
Speaker 5: a bunch of the scouts telling him like, no, I
Speaker 5: think there's still some upside here with Greer, but if
Speaker 5: Jerry wants to do it, Jerry's.
Speaker 11: Going to do it.
Speaker 6: And Jerry was talking about it pregame and he said
Speaker 6: that he had been wanting to get a developmental quarterback
Speaker 6: and with Dak Prescott and at least for the last
Speaker 6: three years, he had talked about wanting to go get
Speaker 6: Jalen Hurts. It looked like he wanted to use the
Speaker 6: third round pick on him, but he got picked I
Speaker 6: believe two or three spots after Trayvon Digs.
Speaker 7: So that didn't work out.
Speaker 5: So when Jerry said that too, by the way, yeah
Speaker 5: that's like third fourth round. That's not like that's not like,
Speaker 5: oh we were right there. It sounds good as a story, yep,
Speaker 5: especially right now because Jalen Hurts is far exceeded what
Speaker 5: you thought he was going to be. But the Cowboys
Speaker 5: have shown you that they were not taking second round
Speaker 5: quarterbacks and they certainly weren't going to take him over
Speaker 5: Trayvon Diggs. So when they say that, it's all so like,
Speaker 5: you know, Dak could have win in the second round
Speaker 5: and been like, well, were you like Dak too?
Speaker 10: You like Dak in the fourth round?
Speaker 5: Like it was not where it's not like it's real close,
Speaker 5: like oh, they got our guy right before us or
Speaker 5: something like that, like how you can make the case
Speaker 5: for when they tried to trade up get Text and
Speaker 5: Lyunch when they they wanted Connor Cook. You know, so
Speaker 5: so those are that's a little bit closer. But I
Speaker 5: just think that him and he wouldn't say Jalen hears
Speaker 5: his name. He just kept saying Philadelphia quarterback.
Speaker 10: Yeah, I'm just kind of like I just where that
Speaker 10: team was at.
Speaker 5: They were not taking him anywhere in the second round,
Speaker 5: maybe third maybe, but I find it very hard to
Speaker 5: believe that they were going to take him anywhere close
Speaker 5: to her Phillip, because I remember when it happened.
Speaker 10: It was a surprise that Philly took him there. Like
Speaker 10: it like Jalen Hurd.
Speaker 5: Certainly everyone thought was gonna be an NFL quarterback, but
Speaker 5: not to the level that he's become.
Speaker 4: You know, No, he was a winner.
Speaker 2: It was kind of it was very similar to Dak
Speaker 2: Prescott won a lot of the sec was was it
Speaker 2: a program where he was really the leader, the unquestioned leader,
Speaker 2: and then.
Speaker 5: Took a seat at Oklahoma where he were like, oh wow,
Speaker 5: he went back to the big twelve.
Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 2: So I think there's there's levels to it with this
Speaker 2: Trey Lance deal because it's not only just a backup quarterback.
Speaker 2: If you're looking at trading a fourth round pick for
Speaker 2: Trey Lance because it's for a backup quarterback.
Speaker 4: You're not looking at this situation the right way at all.
Speaker 4: You're looking at it as.
Speaker 2: Okay, developmental potential starter in the league, high value potential
Speaker 2: comp pick coming if he doesn't necessarily play a whole
Speaker 2: lot here, but he signs elsewhere as a number three
Speaker 2: overall pick, that's a very high probability even three or
Speaker 2: four years down the line. If he signs elsewhere, plays
Speaker 2: a significant amount of snaps, then all of a sudden,
Speaker 2: that fourth round pick comes right back.
Speaker 4: To you in the form of a compensatory pick.
Speaker 2: There are levels to this, but also negotiation in there
Speaker 2: too with Dak Prescott as contract questions come up here
Speaker 2: in the next couple of months, or really once the
Speaker 2: season comes to a close. Isaiah, From an x's and
Speaker 2: o's standpoint, though, what do you like about the trade
Speaker 2: made for Trey Lance and what the Cowboys did by
Speaker 2: going out and getting a guy that not only was
Speaker 2: highly touted enough to go number three overall in the draft,
Speaker 2: but also somebody that's young enough to grow and to
Speaker 2: learn underneath, a guy like Dak Prescott.
Speaker 9: I think it's a great pickup for them from a
Speaker 9: number of standpoints, not only number one. You look at
Speaker 9: age or we just we just touched on that a
Speaker 9: little bit. He's a young, young quarterback that doesn't have
Speaker 9: a lot of experience. I mean he has, you know,
Speaker 9: obviously one year before coming into the league. Really and
Speaker 9: then a couple of years in the league so where
Speaker 9: he really didn't touch the field. So you talk about
Speaker 9: somebody who's raw, who's still moltible, you don't really have
Speaker 9: to tear down a bunch of bad habits. I think
Speaker 9: that's a great situation to be in for the Cowboys. Obviously,
Speaker 9: he comes into a situation with coach McCarthy where he
Speaker 9: knows how to take care of quarterbacks and develop quarterbacks.
Speaker 9: You put him in a room where he's now doesn't
Speaker 9: have the pressure in the expectation of being a starter,
Speaker 9: and he gets to be behind somebody who approaches the
Speaker 9: game the way as Dak does. And also he fits
Speaker 9: the mold of what you're doing offensively right now. I mean,
Speaker 9: the reality is Cooper Rush is a sure thing and
Speaker 9: he's a safe thing, but he doesn't his style of
Speaker 9: play doesn't fit what they like to do right now.
Speaker 9: You have to change your offence if Cooper Rush comes
Speaker 9: into the game. There's things that you just can't do
Speaker 9: any team I don't care. I mean, regardless of how
Speaker 9: good you know your backup quarterback might be, you would
Speaker 9: prefer to have your backup be able to execute and
Speaker 9: play the same style of ball as your starter does,
Speaker 9: and that's what Trey Lance possesses those same attributes as
Speaker 9: a DAK Prescott, if not more in terms of athletic ability.
Speaker 8: So those are all positive things.
Speaker 9: And then obviously the things that Kyle's kind of alluded to,
Speaker 9: they just got out of it at a situation with
Speaker 9: Zach Martin where they didn't have any leverage. Yep, they
Speaker 9: had zero leverage. Da Martin was like, go ahead, let
Speaker 9: the guys play. You know, the guys that are behind
Speaker 9: the starters, they're not even in the same hemisphere as me.
Speaker 8: Right, you don't. As an organization.
Speaker 9: You want to make sure not only that you fortify
Speaker 9: your room all the things that we're hearing from ownership.
Speaker 9: You want to fortify your room, have a solid QB room.
Speaker 9: There's not enough qbs to go around in this league.
Speaker 9: There's high value. We get it also on a business end,
Speaker 9: when it comes time to sit down and have conversations
Speaker 9: with DAK.
Speaker 8: As smooth as.
Speaker 9: Everybody would like it to go, it may not go
Speaker 9: as smooth as they'd like it to go, and they
Speaker 9: need some kind of leverage as well on their end
Speaker 9: to say, well, if you want to play this way,
Speaker 9: then we still have this that has developed into whatever
Speaker 9: they're expecting him to be Trey Lance, that is at
Speaker 9: that given point in time.
Speaker 8: So number of.
Speaker 9: Things, but I think it's a great pick. If you're
Speaker 9: going to spend you spend everybody's up here complaining about it.
Speaker 9: You spend a fourth round pick on Dak Prescott, nobody's complaining.
Speaker 9: You just spend a fourth round pick on Trey Lance.
Speaker 9: I don't understand what the conversation is.
Speaker 5: The only thing on the leverage thing for me is
Speaker 5: that I do think they'll get a new deal done
Speaker 5: with Dak between now and whatever six months from now,
Speaker 5: and so I don't think Trey Lance is going to
Speaker 5: be able to do much on the field to make
Speaker 5: you think that he's anything more than the guy that
Speaker 5: couldn't beat out Rock Purdy and couldn't beat out Sam Darnold.
Speaker 5: So I don't know that there's much leverage between now
Speaker 5: and when that happens. I mean, so Jerry's quote on
Speaker 5: this was candidly, I don't want to plan on, count on,
Speaker 5: or wish for help from him this year. So if
Speaker 5: you're not getting a help from him this year, so
Speaker 5: the only way I would see that it would be
Speaker 5: you know, substantial leverage would be is if Dak got
Speaker 5: hurt and let's say Cooper Rush stepped in and they
Speaker 5: were just like it just kind of there was nothing
Speaker 5: there and it just was kind of which, to be
Speaker 5: honest with you, I think that Cooper Rushes in even
Speaker 5: a better situation now than when he stepped in before,
Speaker 5: just because the way he plays just don't turn the
Speaker 5: ball over, just be safe, plays right into what this
Speaker 5: Dallas defense has, you know what I mean, look at
Speaker 5: the only game out of those when he's gone five
Speaker 5: when to start, the only lost is the one when
Speaker 5: he threw the three picks against Philadelphia, and how close
Speaker 5: that game ended up being in the end. If he
Speaker 5: just takes care of the ball, who knows, maybe they
Speaker 5: win that game too. Maybe he's you know, six and
Speaker 5: Oz is a starter. So but let's just say hypothetically,
Speaker 5: if something like that was to happen and then Lance
Speaker 5: gets in and you're just like, whoa, Like, this kid's
Speaker 5: got it. He just didn't get the chance, you.
Speaker 4: Know, clicks for him, right.
Speaker 5: But the other issue you run into even there is
Speaker 5: like he's got his own injury history, you know, where
Speaker 5: he also has to stay healthy because that's the other
Speaker 5: part of it. You know, you see a lot after
Speaker 5: the trade happened, was about let's just get some package
Speaker 5: is where he can just run and do some stuff
Speaker 5: like that, Like, well, do you really want to stunt
Speaker 5: his growth as you're trying to make him into a quarterback.
Speaker 5: You don't really want him to be oh, what's his name?
Speaker 5: The bell Dozer package at Oklahomaah, you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 5: Like this is like.
Speaker 4: Belle right, former Dallas Cowboys Tied.
Speaker 10: In Chiefs Cowboys back.
Speaker 5: Yeah, Like, you don't really want to do that with
Speaker 5: with Trey Lance. You have visions of him having the
Speaker 5: ability to be a starter in the NFL, and if
Speaker 5: it's not for your team, you want him to be there, because,
Speaker 5: let's be honest, if you have a quarterback that show
Speaker 5: starter trades, there's always gonna be a value for that player.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 6: And I like what you said, Isaiah about him not
Speaker 6: having the pressure anymore coming in as a number three
Speaker 6: overall pick. You have pressure from the moment you walk
Speaker 6: on that stage and shake Roger Condell's hand and being
Speaker 6: able to just take that away, that pressure off his
Speaker 6: shoulders and be like, hey, we're going to give you
Speaker 6: these two three years to figure this out, and I
Speaker 6: believe it would be three more fifth year options is
Speaker 6: exercise correct? So yeah, yeah, that pressure is such a
Speaker 6: huge thing to take off of somebody, especially as a
Speaker 6: coure if you're a quarterback or a kicker, being able
Speaker 6: to take any pressure off your shoulder is very important.
Speaker 5: The wild storyline, real quick, wild storyline from all of
Speaker 5: this will be because I I the way I ranked
Speaker 5: the NFC is it's the Niners, Eagles and Cowboys and
Speaker 5: then everybody else. Yeah, and if it's an NFC championship
Speaker 5: game where it's the Eagles and Niners, again, like.
Speaker 10: How crazy is it that they both made some.
Speaker 5: Terrible decisions at quarterback Eagles paying wins, trading three ones
Speaker 5: and a three for Trey Lance, And then you're able
Speaker 5: to get away from that and it doesn't even set
Speaker 5: you back because that was always the thought, like you
Speaker 5: better hit man, you trade these three ones for this quarterback,
Speaker 5: you better hit on this guy, or you guys are
Speaker 5: going to be digging.
Speaker 10: Out of a hole forever.
Speaker 5: And it's like there's been no hole dug at all
Speaker 5: from those two teams.
Speaker 2: That's that is wild to think about because of this
Speaker 2: being such a quarterback driven league, you you end up
Speaker 2: and I think the comparisons between brock Party and Trey.
Speaker 4: Lance, or even mind boggling, the fact that Lance was
Speaker 4: the number three overall pick. Brock Party was literally mist
Speaker 4: irrelevant in the draft just one year ago.
Speaker 2: It's always very, very odd to see how this league
Speaker 2: works out.
Speaker 4: And you said it happens quick in the league, right,
Speaker 4: I mean, it always does.
Speaker 9: I mean, and from lot I mean it's people will
Speaker 9: they just have to wait and see. But I could
Speaker 9: tell you from a former players perspective, even when I
Speaker 9: left here, when I got cut by Dallas. When I
Speaker 9: was playing for Dallas, I had a ton of injuries
Speaker 9: and a ton of stress and frustrations and trying to
Speaker 9: learn a new position and not getting a coaching. There's
Speaker 9: a whole lot of things that went into my time
Speaker 9: here that didn't pan out.
Speaker 4: The way I wanted.
Speaker 9: But when I got released and then I got picked
Speaker 9: up again, you talk about the weight off your shoulders.
Speaker 8: Oh crap.
Speaker 4: I went.
Speaker 9: I left here and went to New England, and I
Speaker 9: was a whole nother person, a completely different person. When
Speaker 9: I stepped on the field out there. There was no
Speaker 9: expectations that I had here. I didn't have people looking
Speaker 9: at me, you know, saying, oh, your injury prone, all
Speaker 9: that kind of stuff. Like all that weight was off
Speaker 9: my shoulder and I was doing things out there that
Speaker 9: I hadn't done even remotely thought about doing here in Dallas.
Speaker 4: So it does play a fact.
Speaker 8: Confident is everything.
Speaker 9: I don't care if you're a first pick in the
Speaker 9: draft or your last pick in the draft. As an athlete,
Speaker 9: your confidence is literally everything when it comes down to
Speaker 9: you can I execute if you have a question mark
Speaker 9: in your head on whether or not you could do something,
Speaker 9: or I have to do it perfectly because I'm gonna
Speaker 9: get scrutinized for it. Like all those things add pressure,
Speaker 9: and yes, some people are gonna say, well, he shouldn't
Speaker 9: be in.
Speaker 4: That position if he can't handle the pressure.
Speaker 9: BS, he's a human being, right, and he's a young
Speaker 9: human being at that he Now he gets to find
Speaker 9: him his way into an organization that is an amazing organization.
Speaker 9: They take care of their players, right. The development is
Speaker 9: going to be there. He has people that are gonna
Speaker 9: love on him, the competition is going to be there.
Speaker 9: All those things come into it. And now guess what,
Speaker 9: he's rejuvenated again and he gets to find his way,
Speaker 9: maybe even for the first time as a football player.
Speaker 10: And to your point on that, Isaiah.
Speaker 5: So the Niners played Friday night, and after their game,
Speaker 5: their GM John Lynch was available, and then their head
Speaker 5: coach Kyle Shanahan, and both these are separate press conferences,
Speaker 5: and at different times, both of them talked about sitting
Speaker 5: in the room with Trey and and telling him, Hey,
Speaker 5: this is what happened. We end up trading you to
Speaker 5: the Dallas, And they both talked separately about how excited
Speaker 5: he was. So it just really makes me think of
Speaker 5: what you just said up and.
Speaker 4: You hear it.
Speaker 9: John Lynch said, we might have gave upon him too early, right,
Speaker 9: Shannon has said I might have gave up on him
Speaker 9: too early. One of my boys who's on the coach
Speaker 9: staff over there, said they quit on him. Like when
Speaker 9: you know all that is going on around you, right,
Speaker 9: and you know everybody's looking at you and looking at
Speaker 9: you with negative intentions, you can't be you, you can't play,
Speaker 9: you can't They already have chosen their winner, right, that's
Speaker 9: their Party's their dude, Barne.
Speaker 4: Whatever circumstances it took place. That's their dude.
Speaker 9: There's nothing regardless of where I was drafted, that I
Speaker 9: can do that's going to convince them unless I just
Speaker 9: do everything perfectly well.
Speaker 2: It goes back to what John said about Will Greer
Speaker 2: early on. If you have a guy that comes in
Speaker 2: and fills in in a role and wins games.
Speaker 4: Brock Purty last year as a starter, he started eight games.
Speaker 2: He was seven and one, and of course they went
Speaker 2: to the NFC Championship game. Party was able to lead
Speaker 2: that team because much like the Cowboys defensively, the forty
Speaker 2: eine have some dogs on the defense.
Speaker 4: As long as you take care of the football offensively,
Speaker 4: you're gonna win games. I e.
Speaker 2: Cooper Rush with the Cowboys, Will Greer as the third
Speaker 2: string quarterback, what else do you do?
Speaker 4: Trey Lance?
Speaker 2: It's it's a different situation because he was a number
Speaker 2: three overall pick. That's the difference between Will Greer, who
Speaker 2: was a top one hundred pick in his own right,
Speaker 2: and Trey Lance. And then it also the age factor
Speaker 2: comes into it too, with it being just twenty something,
Speaker 2: you're twenty is he going into his age twenty four season?
Speaker 4: So he turned twenty four this year.
Speaker 10: Turned twenty three and just turned twenty three rounds.
Speaker 4: And either way, that's not very not experienced, just as.
Speaker 9: Fresh on everybody's mind in terms of giving them a
Speaker 9: visual of what it's like to know that you're a
Speaker 9: dog at a position, know that you're a player, you
Speaker 9: belong in this league, and things just happen and it
Speaker 9: kind of takes away your confidence and then something else
Speaker 9: happens that triggers you just to be relaxed.
Speaker 8: What did Will Griar just do after he was told
Speaker 8: that you don't have the pressure.
Speaker 4: One for the first part of life. Yeah?
Speaker 9: Literally, He's like, I know I could play in this league.
Speaker 9: Well guess what, You're not going to be on our
Speaker 9: team anymore. You're auditioning for everybody else. Cool, say, rightball bet.
Speaker 10: Trey last year in twenty three in May, Okay.
Speaker 4: So yeah, so this is his age twenty three season.
Speaker 2: He's got a long way to go, no doubt about it,
Speaker 2: and he's he's got an uphill challenge. But from everything
Speaker 2: Isaiah is saying, everything John saying, even Nick Harris over here,
Speaker 2: I feel very good about this situation for Trey Lance.
Speaker 2: And if you're if you're upset about the fourth round pick.
Speaker 2: You're upset about that and losing the draft picks. I
Speaker 2: love draft picks as.
Speaker 4: Much as anybody in the business.
Speaker 2: This is a good value and this is somebody that
Speaker 2: I think is going to help your football team in
Speaker 2: the long run, whether or not it's it's as a
Speaker 2: quarterback or it's as a trade bait, whatever it ends
Speaker 2: up being down the line, this is a guy that
Speaker 2: I think you can you can really rely on and
Speaker 2: grow on.
Speaker 4: We'll talk more about Trey Lance.
Speaker 2: I'm sure as the season goes along, we're probably going
Speaker 2: to talk about him as much as any backup quarterback
Speaker 2: get in the NFL, along with the national media.
Speaker 4: But when we come back, let's play the fifty three
Speaker 4: man game. Let's try and build this roster.
Speaker 2: We've got GMS in the vicinity today here on Talking Cowboys.
Speaker 2: We're gonna make this roster ourselves and try and fix
Speaker 2: the Cowboys to go and win a Super Bowl here
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty three when we come back here on
Speaker 2: Talking Cowboys.
Speaker 12: Todd thought it would be secure to jog in the
Speaker 12: Cheetah Savannah.
Speaker 13: Todd believed the big cat repellent he bought online was
Speaker 13: reliable and now Todd is trying to be faster than
Speaker 13: this cheetah that can run eighty miles per hour. But
Speaker 13: the good news is Todd has at and T five G.
Speaker 13: It is fast, reliable, and secure, and he learned the
Speaker 13: best thing to do is stop running and.
Speaker 12: Toss her the backpack with the beef stew at and
Speaker 12: T five G. Fast, reliable, secure, It's not complicated.
Speaker 14: Five G requires compatible planning device. Five G may not
Speaker 14: be available in your area. See att dot com slash

Speaker 2: Oh It's a super trusted super food. Quaker Oats, the official.
Speaker 4: Oatmeal sponsor of the Dallas Cowboys.
Speaker 2: Welcome back in to the SWBC studios.
Speaker 4: Of course.
Speaker 2: Talking Cowboys presented by Black Rifle Coffee Company. We have
Speaker 2: Nick Harris, Joan Matchoda, Isaiah Stanback. I'm Kyle you olms, gentlemen,
Speaker 2: you want to play GM for a little bit here.
Speaker 4: Let's go. How does that sound? Love it?
Speaker 2: So we're gonna build this Cowboys roster position by position.
Speaker 2: We're gonna go all the way up and down. And
Speaker 2: I mean, we just got done talking about quarterbacks, right,
Speaker 2: but let's go ahead, and uh, let's let's see what
Speaker 2: we can do for the quarterback position as a whole.
Speaker 2: Let's start with Dak Prescott. You think we're keeping this
Speaker 2: guy around this year? You think he's good to go?
Speaker 2: Probably pretty safe?
Speaker 4: Wow, Okay, that would be something deeperseason.
Speaker 2: You know, I just how many quarterbacks are you keeping
Speaker 2: on the fifty three man roster?
Speaker 4: New rule and intact here? Do you keep three guys?
Speaker 2: Or do you only have the two and have Cooper
Speaker 2: rush kind of up and down.
Speaker 4: I don't think that's necessarily a possibility right now.
Speaker 10: I don't think so either. It'll be three.
Speaker 5: So when they made the move for Trey Lance, you
Speaker 5: also you gave up one of your roster spots on
Speaker 5: you on your fifty three. But also you also gave
Speaker 5: a fourth round pick that I'm not saying they would
Speaker 5: have traded a fourth, but I was of interest. Again,
Speaker 5: if I'm being the GM right now, I had some
Speaker 5: interest in possibly shipping a fifth or a sixth around
Speaker 5: this time for some offensive line depth help. And now
Speaker 5: that I just traded my fourth, I don't know how
Speaker 5: much I want to trade one of my fensers six.
Speaker 4: I kind of get you taking care of at that point.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't know like that kind of I mean
Speaker 5: maybe if it's one for Usually they want to trade
Speaker 5: ones that are in that next year's draft.
Speaker 10: That's what teams want and return.
Speaker 5: So now I'm kind of sitting there going, well, this
Speaker 5: move prevents me from possibly doing that, so we'll see.
Speaker 5: Maybe they're a little bit riskier than I am.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was the one weird thing about the trade
Speaker 2: Lance trade was the timing of it. You would think
Speaker 2: that backup quarterback was not nearly as high on the
Speaker 2: list from a priority standpoint as maybe some offensive line depth,
Speaker 2: some linebacker.
Speaker 4: That was the one.
Speaker 10: It's surprising.
Speaker 5: It's one of the most surprising moves of the Cowboys
Speaker 5: have made in a while, and it's one of those
Speaker 5: where I feel like the Cowboys are always mentioned with
Speaker 5: anybody that's on the trade talks or a free agent,
Speaker 5: and there wasn't a lot of like real chatter about this,
Speaker 5: you know, And you find out that forty Naers really
Speaker 5: wanted to trade him to the AFC. But then the
Speaker 5: Cowboys come in with clearly the best offer of anyone.
Speaker 5: So I think it surprised the Niners and probably most
Speaker 5: of the league.
Speaker 2: By the way the quarterback rule, the emergency QB rule
Speaker 2: change that the NFL puts in this season, teams who
Speaker 2: are carrying two quarterbacks on their active roster on game
Speaker 2: day may carry a third emergency quarterback from the fifty
Speaker 2: three man roster who does not count against the team's
Speaker 2: game day roster, so they do count toward the fifty three.
Speaker 4: You don't get really a break there, but it doesn't
Speaker 4: count toward the forty eight. On game day.
Speaker 2: Whenever you have to activate all those guys, it has
Speaker 2: to be on the fifty three. So we're keeping three guys.
Speaker 2: We're down the fifty roster spots. Running back Tony Pollard
Speaker 2: duce Vaughan, Is that RB two right now? Do you
Speaker 2: feel pretty comfortable about are you keeping three guys?
Speaker 4: What do you think Isaiah keeping three? I think you're
Speaker 4: four going forty. Who's your four?
Speaker 9: I think you are going with obviously TP, you got Jones,
Speaker 9: you got Duce Vaughn, and I think you have to
Speaker 9: keep Rico.
Speaker 4: You're keeping Ronald Jonson the roster. Yeah, you're keeping Ronald Jones.
Speaker 4: That's just a question. Yeah, I'm curious.
Speaker 9: I don't think they hold on to them all the
Speaker 9: way camp just to let him go.
Speaker 6: I think maybe the hold on part was to see
Speaker 6: if he could be ready for a last preseason game.
Speaker 6: I see, I see it being tough keeping him around personally,
Speaker 6: and that would be tough too, especially considering his two
Speaker 6: games suspension. Me, it's Tony, Rico, Douce Faun. And then
Speaker 6: the question becomes, and it's been posed in the last
Speaker 6: thirty six hours, is it Sean McEwan or Hunter.
Speaker 7: Lipkey that takes that extra offens the spot?
Speaker 8: I'm taking McEwan, Yeah, McEwan on it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Yeah, what do you think? John?
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm going three running backs. I'm going Rico, daud Or,
Speaker 5: Tony Pollard and Douce fun.
Speaker 2: I think I'm going there too. I think you've seen
Speaker 2: enough from Malik Davis I like the possibilities of Hunter Lipkey,
Speaker 2: but just on this roster right now, and I think
Speaker 2: you can get away with putting Ronald Jones maybe on
Speaker 2: puff to start the year and kind of statu him
Speaker 2: for a little bit.
Speaker 4: If that's the case, you keep him around.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't know what the value will be on
Speaker 5: him with him not playing and then the fact that
Speaker 5: he's suspended for the first two games.
Speaker 4: I don't sure.
Speaker 10: Maybe somebody does.
Speaker 4: But if you if you put a player.
Speaker 2: They have to be active to serve those two games suspensions, right,
Speaker 2: I believe so?
Speaker 4: Okay, so yeah, oh man, that but I think so.
Speaker 2: I think at the case, at this case, I think
Speaker 2: we're keeping three running backs and we're moving moving along.
Speaker 4: All right, Let's go to a wide receiver.
Speaker 2: Got Ceedee lamp, Brandon Cooks, Michael Gallup, Jalen Tolbert, Cavante Turpin.
Speaker 2: Turpin took the pads off in that last game. Pretty
Speaker 2: set there, So there's five, no doubters. Who's your sixth guy?
Speaker 4: Who earned the spot to be the sixth guy? Or
Speaker 4: do you keep five and roll with it that way?
Speaker 4: I was about to say that you need six. I
Speaker 4: think they go five receivers.
Speaker 2: Four tight ends, Okay, you keep the extra tight end,
Speaker 2: save a roster five.
Speaker 4: I think if anything that says a roster spot. Defensively,
Speaker 4: this is a two tight end offense.
Speaker 9: I don't know if anybody's recognized yet, but this is
Speaker 9: a two tight end offense. The majority of this offense
Speaker 9: is the foundational pillar of it is two tight ends.
Speaker 9: So if you go into it with three tight ends, yeah,
Speaker 9: you're playing with fire. So you need four guys there.
Speaker 9: I agree with you guys on a running back situation.
Speaker 9: I just didn't know how the Jones situation is going
Speaker 9: to pan out. So sure, four tight ends, five receivers,
Speaker 9: I don't. I think if you keep a sixth you're
Speaker 9: forcing it. Then you have too many guys on defense
Speaker 9: to be loading up with guys on offense that you
Speaker 9: may not utilize.
Speaker 5: I mean, they love to keep their draft class, but
Speaker 5: I just haven't seen enough from Jalen Brooks for me
Speaker 5: to not be able to let him and send me
Speaker 5: go and not think that one of these receivers. I mean, heck,
Speaker 5: you look at like even the game Tyron Johnson had
Speaker 5: on Saturday night, like it's kind of like running back
Speaker 5: for me too, here, I just wide receiver and running back.
Speaker 5: When you're talking about a fourth running back, a sixth
Speaker 5: wide receiver. Come on, guys, everybody, this isn't the only
Speaker 5: team cutting down to fifty three. Like, you can't tell
Speaker 5: me there's not gonna be some guys out there when
Speaker 5: everybody else and on one day is going from ninety
Speaker 5: to fifty three. You cannot tell me that there's not
Speaker 5: gonna be six receivers that are out there. Plea six
Speaker 5: seventh eth quality offensive lineman, probably not six seventh eighth
Speaker 5: quality defensive lineman, probably not running back and wide receiver.
Speaker 10: I think you can find somebody.
Speaker 4: So are you keeping five guys?
Speaker 10: Five guys? That's the five you sa rolling with?
Speaker 4: The five? I would like to maybe take a chance
Speaker 4: on Jalen Brooks here. I've seen enough.
Speaker 10: I think he would clearly the sex. I really do.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I've seen enough from Simmy Fooco. I love the guy,
Speaker 4: I really do.
Speaker 2: I think I think he's run the course here, and
Speaker 2: then he's given plenty of opportunities either to stay healthy
Speaker 2: or to continue growing into a role in either what
Speaker 2: Neither one of those things has happened since he was drafted.
Speaker 4: So I think Brooks.
Speaker 5: That's really tight for me that that was gonna be like,
Speaker 5: that's one of my first three or four.
Speaker 10: Cuts off of there.
Speaker 5: But I kept an extra defensive lineman, an extra the
Speaker 5: dB that you guys might disagree with him when we
Speaker 5: get to that, but that's what.
Speaker 10: It came down to.
Speaker 5: Also the fact that I just found out that we're
Speaker 5: going to have a trade a fourth round pick for changes.
Speaker 4: I think it takes up a roster spot Brooks.
Speaker 9: You can roll the dice on him clearing waivers because
Speaker 9: what we know of Brooks, the majority of that has
Speaker 9: tim in practice truly.
Speaker 4: Yeah, good point. There's no tape on it, no film
Speaker 4: on it.
Speaker 2: So I'll say five maybe, but stix in parentheses right now.
Speaker 4: But we're keeping five receivers, four tight ends.
Speaker 2: John Stevens on IR so you don't have to worry
Speaker 2: about losing the rookie this year, Jake Ferguson, Peyton Hendershot,
Speaker 2: Luke scoon Maker, Sean.
Speaker 4: McEwan, everybody gear the tight end. Yeah, there's your four.
Speaker 2: So offensively, in terms of the skills positions, right now,
Speaker 2: we have fifteen positions, taking up three quarterbacks, three running backs,
Speaker 2: five wide receivers and four.
Speaker 4: Tight ends, and that's where we've got going forward.
Speaker 10: Now, this is where it gets interesting.
Speaker 2: This is where things can get crazy. Offensive line. How
Speaker 2: many guys are you keeping? We'll start with the starters.
Speaker 2: The starters are going to stay there, Terrence Steel, Zach Martin,
Speaker 2: Tyler Biattish, Tyler Smith, Tyron Smith.
Speaker 4: All right, who's next? Who would like to go?
Speaker 10: Well, there's no chance that they would let Austin Richards go.
Speaker 5: Okay, I mean, even if he didn't look good, you're
Speaker 5: not going to give up on a.
Speaker 10: Fifth round pick that quickly.
Speaker 4: So there's six.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and I don't think they would move on from well,
Speaker 5: let's go either, just because of the fact that they
Speaker 5: don't they don't really have any depth at offensive tackle.
Speaker 10: I feel pretty confident with him.
Speaker 5: And I kind of feel confident that I don't feel
Speaker 5: confident with him as a player. I feel confident with
Speaker 5: them keeping him.
Speaker 4: But this is us as gu Do you want to
Speaker 4: move on from him? That's the case.
Speaker 5: And I would even say I think Chuma Dog is
Speaker 5: pretty safe just because of the investment they made.
Speaker 6: Probably I l so then after that he does that
Speaker 6: count towards the fifty three?
Speaker 7: Initially, if he's going to go on pump or I are.
Speaker 5: Oh, yeah, he might not. Then that's true. That's a
Speaker 5: good point. If he goes on IR, then he's done
Speaker 5: for the season.
Speaker 2: You do have to get down to fifty three, he
Speaker 2: can go on pump and at that point, so I
Speaker 2: think I think you could probably get away with stashing.
Speaker 5: Those are the names that I feel like from everything
Speaker 5: I've heard from the organization that they talk up. You
Speaker 5: know what I'm saying, you could kind of you could
Speaker 5: probably throw josh Ball in there. But him coming off
Speaker 5: the injury, he seems like a guy that like probably
Speaker 5: won't be ready for a couple of months. And again,
Speaker 5: like we haven't seen enough on the field to think that.
Speaker 5: I'm just saying this is going off of what the
Speaker 5: way that they talk.
Speaker 2: But how svere is Josh Ball's injury He left the
Speaker 2: game on Saturday. Did we get an update on that?
Speaker 5: We and I've seen there there are some reports that
Speaker 5: he might be out for significant a.
Speaker 7: Couple of months. I think it was a timeline by report.
Speaker 4: But okay, so.
Speaker 2: Maybe you can to stash josh Ball there too, So
Speaker 2: Matt will let's go awesome Richards, Matt Farniak I'm not unborable,
Speaker 2: let's go.
Speaker 4: Okay, you're done with if you if.
Speaker 5: You're not, if you're not on board with Matt will,
Speaker 5: let's go. He probably just keep seven offensive linemen and
Speaker 5: keep those other rosters.
Speaker 4: The thing, I'll put it this way.
Speaker 9: I believe that there are seven on this roster, okay,
Speaker 9: and I think that they're going to go grab two more.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and that would be And that makes a ton
Speaker 5: of sense because that's the thing. Like I always am
Speaker 5: stuck around offensive defensive line, around that number ten, which
Speaker 5: it's generally where you know, you go over your fifty
Speaker 5: threes from the last whatever decade. It's usually in that neighborhood.
Speaker 5: But why not go a little bit lighted offensive line.
Speaker 5: If you don't really trust your back why not trust
Speaker 5: bringing in a couple of new guys. Because when I
Speaker 5: made mine, I put mine out this morning. A comment
Speaker 5: that I got was the last, where's your backup center?
Speaker 5: Who cares we're cutting down into initial fifty three?
Speaker 10: Do you think hold on? Did you see to anybody
Speaker 10: that emerges your backup center?
Speaker 5: Is there anybody who's like you don't want to let
Speaker 5: Hoffman get out there?
Speaker 10: They'll find a backup center. What are we doing here?
Speaker 5: Like there's not there's not like eight, nine, ten guys
Speaker 5: on the offensive line that you're just like, man, we
Speaker 5: can't let.
Speaker 10: Him out of the room. Yeah you can't. Okay, you
Speaker 10: say so.
Speaker 2: There's probably six guys total that if if you put
Speaker 2: if you put them on on waivers, they wouldn't stick around.
Speaker 4: The rest of the offensive line is going to make
Speaker 4: it right through? What TJ? Bass? Is an interesting question?
Speaker 4: Bass or only ye? Yes? That completes the seven.
Speaker 5: Yeah, he would not read waivers with no y. He's
Speaker 5: put up And I have asked on mind too. I
Speaker 5: just didn't know if you guys have agree with I
Speaker 5: know I actually I do.
Speaker 4: I think I think eight and nine. I think Hornio
Speaker 4: has been around, but I don't think he had a
Speaker 4: good preseason.
Speaker 2: So thumbs up, her thumbs down on these three guys. Farnaac,
Speaker 2: I would keep Farne. I think he's as you.
Speaker 9: Have another guy that you can grab, I would say yes,
Speaker 9: unless there's somebody else that you can just go say
Speaker 9: all right.
Speaker 2: I'll label Matt Farniac as an expendable retention.
Speaker 4: Correct.
Speaker 2: He doesn't have to be the guy, but he's a guy,
Speaker 2: and you've got him in the building, you might as
Speaker 2: well keep him Baday, it was on the fifty three
Speaker 2: man roster.
Speaker 7: If we have to pick fifty three from this list,
Speaker 7: then I'm taking Farno.
Speaker 2: Yes, from this list. We're not trading anybody just yet.
Speaker 2: I wish we could, but that'd be fun. Brock Coffin
Speaker 2: yes or no?
Speaker 4: No? No, no? Done?
Speaker 2: Okay, So TJ Bass yes, yes, Alec Linstrom no no.
Speaker 4: So right now we've got nine offensive linemen.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you've got the five starters, Matt Farniac split on well,
Speaker 2: let's go split on Awesome Richards and TJ. Bass, two
Speaker 2: rookies that you feel pretty good about the way that
Speaker 2: they performed in the preseason. So nine offensive linemen up front,
Speaker 2: So that gives us a grand total of nineteen on
Speaker 2: the offensive.
Speaker 4: Of the football.
Speaker 10: Uh, let's just do the three special teams right now?
Speaker 4: Yeah, three special steamers. Boom, there you go. There's there's
Speaker 4: special there.
Speaker 10: I will stay with that.
Speaker 5: I don't know one hundred percent of this, but I
Speaker 5: do think that there's a chance that they can do.
Speaker 4: Some of that.
Speaker 5: Uh yeah, where like snapper, Yeah, and he's still going
Speaker 5: to be your long snapper. So but I would stay
Speaker 5: just for our thing. I would just stay three there. Okay,
Speaker 5: So we've done that in the past.
Speaker 4: Like CJ.
Speaker 5: Go wins another one, like I could see CJ. Gowin
Speaker 5: not being in the fifty three. I can see CJ.
Speaker 5: Gobwin also being active Sunday night against the Giants.
Speaker 4: You know, so it's true? Uh?
Speaker 2: Okay, So nineteen offensive players, three special teamers. We've got
Speaker 2: twenty two roster spots taken up. Let's take our second break.
Speaker 2: When we come back, we'll do the defensive side of
Speaker 2: the football, starting with the defensive line.
Speaker 4: We've gone light on a couple of positions already.
Speaker 2: Does that allow us to keep some of these talented
Speaker 2: defenders when we come back?
Speaker 12: Right after this, Todd thought it would be secure to
Speaker 12: jog in the Cheat of Savannah. Todd believed the big
Speaker 12: cat repellent he bought online was reliable. Todd is trying
Speaker 12: to be faster than this cheetah that can run eighty
Speaker 12: miles per hour. But the good news is Todd has

Speaker 10: Would you, Dear Doctor?
Speaker 4: My friend supported me during a tough time. But what's

Speaker 4: To Talking Cowboys.
Speaker 2: This segment is brought to you by in Visiligne, the
Speaker 2: official smile of the Dallas Cowboys. Welcome back into our
Speaker 2: Talking Cowboys fifty three man roster special with Isaiah Stanback,
Speaker 2: John Matchoda, Nick Harris. I'm Kyle Yeomans, our fellow GMS
Speaker 2: building this roster. I misspoke in the first segment. We
Speaker 2: have twenty four offensive players three special teamers, so we
Speaker 2: have twenty seven roster spots accounted for at the moment.
Speaker 2: We kept three quarterbacks, three running backs, five wide receivers
Speaker 2: with a possible sixth, four tight ends, and nine offensive linemen,
Speaker 2: and then of course you keep your three guys. Everybody
Speaker 2: very quickly feel good about Brandon Aubrey and what he
Speaker 2: showed on Saturday. I thought it was impressive in my
Speaker 2: own right. I think he's earned at least a shot, yeah,
Speaker 2: to earn it full time.
Speaker 6: I'll say this, and I wrote about it as soon
Speaker 6: as the game ended. He's earned the right to be
Speaker 6: on that flight to New York. As far as anything
Speaker 6: further than that, I think, you know, you really reevaluate
Speaker 6: during the bye week to see if you can keep
Speaker 6: him throughout the season. But I think the trial run
Speaker 6: needs to continue into the year. I think he's showed
Speaker 6: too much good stuff to dump on him this early,
Speaker 6: and hitting a fifty nine yarders certainly helps. But I
Speaker 6: was even writing that beforehand, So yeah, I want I
Speaker 6: want to see him continue to get those opportunities very much.
Speaker 4: So agree on that one.
Speaker 5: Okay, hold on, I I hate the national TV shows,
Speaker 5: where very rarely I shouldn't say album, because there definitely
Speaker 5: some times when Gus will come back and point out
Speaker 5: when they were wrong. So I can't rip the Brandon
Speaker 5: Aubrey thing because I'm the guy that wanted them to
Speaker 5: draft Jake Moody, Cady York. Moody's hurt, Cad York doesn't
Speaker 5: look that great, so and those would have taken, you know,
Speaker 5: notable picks to get one of those guys. If this
Speaker 5: doesn't work out, you didn't really give up anything, you know,
Speaker 5: you just signed Brandon Aubrey. And so the first after
Speaker 5: the first fifty nine yarder, it was so bad that
Speaker 5: I was like, oh, I don't know. But then the
Speaker 5: second one, I was kind of like, all right, and
Speaker 5: then maybe maybe he's got it in him. But like
Speaker 5: that first one the way kind of like knuckleball all
Speaker 5: the way to the left, I'm.
Speaker 17: Like, yeah, but it went like sixty four again had
Speaker 17: a distance switch, which is interesting because I've I've felt
Speaker 17: throughout training camp in preseason they've almost been like trying
Speaker 17: to protect him from kicking long kicks.
Speaker 10: And so when they bought him out.
Speaker 5: There for two different fifty nine yards, they clearly believe
Speaker 5: he has the lake. So yeah, I'm flying with that.
Speaker 4: Okay, there you go.
Speaker 2: So I do like that, keeping it, keeping an accountable
Speaker 2: John across the table.
Speaker 4: I like it.
Speaker 10: Yeah, I like to point out and I'm an idiot.
Speaker 4: Same here. Honestly, it happens pretty often, all right.
Speaker 2: Defensive line this is where things also can get interesting
Speaker 2: because it's a different conversation than offensive line and the
Speaker 2: fact that it's too deep to.
Speaker 4: Really limit it. So let's start with the starters.
Speaker 2: DeMarcus Lawrence, Jonathan Hankins, Os Digizu at Dorn's Armstrong. We're
Speaker 2: not counting Michael Parsons in this list. He's gonna stay
Speaker 2: with the linebacker guys. Okay, He's gonna stay with the linebackers.
Speaker 2: Right now, there are two different schools of completely different thoughts.
Speaker 4: Okay, completely different thoughts.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna keep them at linebacker, okay, and then I'm
Speaker 2: gonna go the second level. Sam Williams, Mazzie Smith, Dante
Speaker 2: Fowler and then are those all locks?
Speaker 4: We feel pretty good about those names that I just mentioned. Yeah,
Speaker 4: so that's seven. Here are some of the bubble guys.
Speaker 10: Did you say Billy on me?
Speaker 4: Fojoko?
Speaker 10: Have not he's on it?
Speaker 4: You think he's done? He's yeah. Isaiah seems to disagree.
Speaker 10: It has and has nothing to do with anything.
Speaker 4: He's going fourth round pick.
Speaker 5: It's the fourth round pick, and just the stuff I've
Speaker 5: heard about how high they were on him going in,
Speaker 5: I just do not think they will cut ties with
Speaker 5: him this early. And I to your point, the way
Speaker 5: Isaiah's looking at me, I'm telling you, I just would
Speaker 5: not be like.
Speaker 10: I think they're going to keep him. I think he's
Speaker 10: locked in.
Speaker 7: I think they're gonna be gunshy on John Richards.
Speaker 8: I think they're going to exactly.
Speaker 4: And that's a good point. That's what it is.
Speaker 8: The Ridgeway fact.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you don't letting you don't go too early last year.
Speaker 6: It goes to Mike McCarthy's point of not wanting to
Speaker 6: give up on guys too early, and that would be
Speaker 6: given up early.
Speaker 10: So what does that put. What's the numbers on there?
Speaker 2: So that would be eight currently, that leaves Neville Gallimore,
Speaker 2: Chauncey Golston, and Quentin Bohanna.
Speaker 5: I'm I'm I'm on with Nevill, Galli, Moore, And I
Speaker 5: know a lot of people argue that point, but I
Speaker 5: don't love anything that's going on beyond my starting defensive tackles.
Speaker 5: And I'm not sitting here saying devil Galimore is going
Speaker 5: to be a pro bowler, but I at least feel
Speaker 5: solid about him. So when you have him and mazi
Speaker 5: as kind of being your next two guys there. But now,
Speaker 5: of course they think that, you know, Chauncey and Fojoko
Speaker 5: can help a defensive tackle, I don't.
Speaker 10: I'm not as confident about that. So I keep Neville's.
Speaker 4: You're keeping Neville and cutting Quentin Bohanah, Yeah, yes, I
Speaker 4: am as well.
Speaker 8: I think I would agree with that.
Speaker 5: I don't know why you would need Mazzi, Hankins and Bohanna. Yes,
Speaker 5: a roster that they've everybody in the organization has talked
Speaker 5: about whole heart is going to be a cut down
Speaker 5: this fifty three. I just don't know how you would
Speaker 5: keep all three of those because they you're gonna have
Speaker 5: to go short somewhere else.
Speaker 2: Well, you think about it with Bohanna, when he was
Speaker 2: drafted in the sixth round, it was not a high pick.
Speaker 4: It was a sixth round pick out of Kentucky.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he was brought in to be the run stuffer,
Speaker 2: the big trash game full of dirt right in the
Speaker 2: middle of that defensive line.
Speaker 4: Now you've got two of those guys that actually have
Speaker 4: some game reps and success. I mean, of course, if you.
Speaker 5: Don't use it's not like I mean, the video is surfaced.
Speaker 5: It's not like it's it's that crazy to think that
Speaker 5: they don't go Mazzie Smith in the first round.
Speaker 10: Sure, they go the offensive lineman.
Speaker 5: And if that happens, maybe they don't draft a defensive
Speaker 5: tackle until the third, fourth, fifth round. Maybe you need
Speaker 5: Quentin Bohanna. But after you got Mazzie Smith, it was
Speaker 5: gonna make it.
Speaker 2: Tough completely completely. What about Chauncey Golston Here, this one's
Speaker 2: hard for me.
Speaker 4: This one's tough, is.
Speaker 7: What it is for me.
Speaker 6: If you want to take I love the I think
Speaker 6: you go a little bit light at defensive tackle to
Speaker 6: try to res try to retain mister number fifty three
Speaker 6: Isaiah land Ooh okay, okay, The fifty three stands for
Speaker 6: he's gonna be the fifty third man on the roster.
Speaker 10: Wow, interested, bubble guy.
Speaker 4: So we're sitting at one, two, three, four, eight.
Speaker 7: Not that would be ten. I believe if Mike.
Speaker 4: To keep Johncey would be would be ten.
Speaker 7: To keep it Land or Chauncey would be ten.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, because I'm not even looking at Yeah, okay.
Speaker 7: I'm open to trying to, you know, keep.
Speaker 2: So you're saying it's between Johncey Golson and Tyrus Wheat,
Speaker 2: I mean, excuse me and Isaiah Land.
Speaker 4: Those are your two guys. Correct? Who would you keep?
Speaker 4: In that instance?
Speaker 7: Zero one or two? You could keep none of them,
Speaker 7: one of them or both of them.
Speaker 9: I like Land a lot, but I don't I don't
Speaker 9: think that they can afford to try to keep another
Speaker 9: one of it for what he does for this team.
Speaker 2: Well, and keep it in mind that Chauncey Golston was
Speaker 2: a third round pick. That's another thing. A Day two
Speaker 2: pick and a top one hundred guy. If you're going
Speaker 2: to let him go, he will probably not pass through
Speaker 2: waivers because he has the high the high upside.
Speaker 4: Isaiah Land was.
Speaker 9: An undrafted free agent. I get it, he may slip through.
Speaker 9: I've watched three games though, and had the impact.
Speaker 2: So what are we doing? Are we cutting Chauncey Golston?
Speaker 2: Here's what's happened? I am okay.
Speaker 4: Oh man, that's hard for me.
Speaker 5: I don't know if I I don't give him too
Speaker 5: just because he's a third.
Speaker 8: I don't get a tout to that draft pick. Yeah,
Speaker 8: I just don't.
Speaker 10: As we go later, I am cutting a third so.
Speaker 4: You are Oh okay, there's some foreshadowing. Uh okay.
Speaker 2: So nine no, ten offensive linemen, I mean ten defensive line.
Speaker 10: The same draft class.
Speaker 4: I've got nine, same round.
Speaker 10: I mean we cutting both the third round picks.
Speaker 2: So we cut Naseean Wright. Should we just go ahead
Speaker 2: and go to the cornerback spot?
Speaker 15: Oh?
Speaker 5: I can totally see you guys disagree with me on that.
Speaker 5: I just it's just it's pretty heavy at that spot there.
Speaker 5: And if you're going to keep Eric Scott and some
Speaker 5: of these other guys, yeah, Calvin Joseph, like, I mean,
Speaker 5: it gets to be a numbers game. You keep Wan Yeah, Mark,
Speaker 5: Mark we spelled, blieve me. There's tons of guys that
Speaker 5: have stood out. But I mean you can't keep everybody,
Speaker 5: so but not I mean I will not be surprised
Speaker 5: that rights on the team.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Stefan Killmore, Trayvon Diggs, Eric Scott, Deron Bland.
Speaker 4: You're pretty good about those.
Speaker 2: Er Scott ten with land or Golston with land Land? Yeah,
Speaker 2: just just because you you you fought for it. But
Speaker 2: I'll say Land slash Golston because I think I would
Speaker 2: flip lop. But I think I would keep Chauncey and
Speaker 2: I would take I would take.
Speaker 10: A Lance Overland's over Lance Lance.
Speaker 2: Over tree Lance Yeah, Land l A n D. Everybody listening,
Speaker 2: Uh corner real quick? So ten defensive lineman corner Stefan Gilmore,
Speaker 2: Trayvon Diggs, dron Bland.
Speaker 4: You're not keeping Eric Scott, I'm not. You're not.
Speaker 2: You didn't see enough from him. I did not six
Speaker 2: round pick. I mean they've expended six round picks before.
Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean they traded What did they trade to
Speaker 8: give them?
Speaker 4: They traded up to go get him.
Speaker 14: Uh.
Speaker 2: At the top of this, I think it was next
Speaker 2: year's fifth to go get him.
Speaker 5: Do you think that they can keep Scott and Nash
Speaker 5: right or do you think it's one or the other
Speaker 5: one another?
Speaker 7: Well, I'm keeping in that book.
Speaker 2: Then I think I would be too. Let's let's go,
Speaker 2: let's go back to the linebacker.
Speaker 5: I also think Calvin Joseph's on this team, by the way,
Speaker 5: about this, okay?
Speaker 4: Yes?
Speaker 2: Uh, micah Leyton vander Esh Tabril Cox to Moan Clark
Speaker 2: Overshown's going to eye on are Devin Harper?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Yeah, what about Elie Jefferson. No, no, I agree, done
Speaker 2: done or I are we.
Speaker 5: I'm keeping seventeen safeties that hopefully some can play linebackers.
Speaker 10: I'm going Finett linebacker.
Speaker 8: I like Malie Jefferson a lot. I did too.
Speaker 4: He played well, he really did.
Speaker 9: You can't help getting injured. I mean, I'm not sure
Speaker 9: what the severity of his injury at this point.
Speaker 7: I think the saving grace for Malik is special teams.
Speaker 4: Yeah, solid on special team.
Speaker 6: It depends who they want to fill that over shown
Speaker 6: slash slu Gifford role. And if it's Jefferson Jefferson, if
Speaker 6: it's lip Key, it's lip key. If it's you know,
Speaker 6: that's the.
Speaker 8: Thing, Like, that's that's a whole other topic. Maybe we
Speaker 8: could talk about that on Wednesday. But yeah, I think
Speaker 8: I think that's one of a Thomas.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, nobody he's talking about that.
Speaker 8: Everybody's talking about Marque's bill.
Speaker 2: I'm like, one of is bigger, Yeah he is, and
Speaker 2: more aggressive he plays downhill. Uh, Devin Harper the fifth
Speaker 2: one there? So are you keeping he keeping five linebackers?
Speaker 10: Keeping four? Because I don't think Michael Parson is a linebacker.
Speaker 4: But yes, Okay, that's fair.
Speaker 2: I understandably, we're just using it as a as as ah.
Speaker 10: We're in a safe space here.
Speaker 9: Originally I had numbers game. Originally I had ten D
Speaker 9: linemen including Michael Parsons, which I have Now I have
Speaker 9: nine D linemen.
Speaker 4: But yeah, you guys are we're going to go to ten?
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, and then we've got the five linebackers including
Speaker 2: Michael Parsons. Right, safety safeties because I'm still corner's got
Speaker 2: a lot of questions for me.
Speaker 4: Safeties, j Ron Donovan Malik. There's your three. Who are
Speaker 4: you keeping.
Speaker 8: Marcus bill Oney, Thomas Israel McCormack.
Speaker 4: You're keeping six safeties. Yep, you're keeping six safeties.
Speaker 8: You use them as a lineback when.
Speaker 10: You when over shown went down.
Speaker 5: I bumped up the hold up when overshown went down,
Speaker 5: and they didn't immediately try and add a linebacker.
Speaker 8: That was Tilly.
Speaker 5: Yeah, because honestly, going back to the sixth receiver thing
Speaker 5: or not keeping six, if they need a six receiver,
Speaker 5: they'll go get a t Y Hilton type guy.
Speaker 10: During the season.
Speaker 5: If it gets to that level where someone's getting hurt
Speaker 5: or something like that, they're not going to be like, oh, man,
Speaker 5: we only kept five. We could really use this receiver, right,
Speaker 5: They'll go out and get another receiver if they need to.
Speaker 6: If you're if you're taking six safeties, you would have
Speaker 6: to trust one of those guys to step in and
Speaker 6: play nickel or corner at some point, which which is fine. Yeah,
Speaker 6: because when it comes to actual corners, you only have
Speaker 6: five spots there.
Speaker 8: That's why I didn't carry ten d linemen.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 4: And if we're keeping six safeties.
Speaker 8: At six safety, six corners on my list.
Speaker 2: Yeah, if you're keeping six safeties, then that leaves us
Speaker 2: there five spots for corner.
Speaker 6: Then you cut Lander Golston if you feel too good
Speaker 6: about I feel too good about the pass road.
Speaker 8: I can't see as a lamb being there.
Speaker 4: That makes sense.
Speaker 2: So you would go down to nine defensive linemen ten
Speaker 2: if you want to include Micah, and you.
Speaker 4: Would give you would give six spots.
Speaker 2: For six six corners, six safeties, six corners man twelve
Speaker 2: on the secondary.
Speaker 4: That's fair. I get it how dan Quinn uses his defense.
Speaker 4: That's that's fair.
Speaker 9: You're light, he's you're you got four down linemen, you
Speaker 9: got two linebackers. You always got six six d's on
Speaker 9: the field.
Speaker 4: Okay, where does ce J. Goodwin fit into that mix?
Speaker 8: He's on a specialist?
Speaker 2: There no three specialists is punter, kicker, and holder? So
Speaker 2: do you keep a spot for c J.
Speaker 4: Goodwin?
Speaker 2: Feels like every year they find a way to do
Speaker 2: so they'll figure it out. So he's still here, is
Speaker 2: what you're you're saying. So there's one, you got five spots,
Speaker 2: Gilmour Bland digs for sure, there's your your three.
Speaker 4: Now you're down to two.
Speaker 7: That's one, isn't it?
Speaker 4: Or two? Two? Yeah? Two spots from there?
Speaker 7: Eric Scott, Kelvin Joseph right, pick two?
Speaker 9: Pick two out of those guys. Okay, and what was
Speaker 9: the other one?
Speaker 4: Eric Scott?
Speaker 7: Eric Scott or Calvin.
Speaker 8: Eric Scott?
Speaker 5: So you are going to just watch him telling you
Speaker 5: Calvin Joseph is gonna make this team?
Speaker 4: Just what I get. I get the thought process, I
Speaker 4: really do.
Speaker 2: But if you were making the decision, John, but you
Speaker 2: think he will make the team. Yeah, so that's does
Speaker 2: that mean it's tough for Eric Scott to make it?
Speaker 10: No, I got I got right off the team?
Speaker 4: Oh you okay?
Speaker 5: So out of gas you're saying, if I'm picking it, Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 5: I'm keeping right over Kelvin Joseph, I'm saying I don't
Speaker 5: think they they would. I think if it came down
Speaker 5: to those two, I think they would keep.
Speaker 2: Telling I think I agree with you absolutely completely, I think,
Speaker 2: but I'm keeping. If I'm doing GM work here, I
Speaker 2: would keep nay Sean Wright and Eric Scott, but I
Speaker 2: don't think they'll do that.
Speaker 5: I'm over here looking at why you as a problem,
Speaker 5: But I wanted to look up the twenty eighteen roster
Speaker 5: because I feel like that's probably when just the fact
Speaker 5: that they're we're keeping six safeties. Eighteen they had like
Speaker 5: Jeff Heath, Xavier Woods, I mean, Barry Church was even
Speaker 5: around anymore. No, I mean it was just so thin
Speaker 5: at safety and didn't think that we're at this point
Speaker 5: now we're keeping six. Of course, it's like like Isaiah said, though,
Speaker 5: it's because it's because of Dan Quinn, you know, and
Speaker 5: the way he plays defense or the way he schemes
Speaker 5: up his defense.
Speaker 10: That's why you keep those.
Speaker 5: That's way I almost look at it, is like you
Speaker 5: can't just look at it as these are just safeties.
Speaker 5: It's because it's like this linebacker safety hybrid type things
Speaker 5: right right.
Speaker 2: Position who would have thought going into this train in
Speaker 2: camp that we would go short at wide receiver and
Speaker 2: shorter that defensive line than we originally.
Speaker 5: I would win shorter at wide receiver. If I didn't
Speaker 5: get this, this quarterback thrown in my.
Speaker 4: Laugh lest right, Yeah, it threw a wrench into it.
Speaker 4: But there's got to make a change.
Speaker 5: I guess you know a lot of people listening to
Speaker 5: this would be would probably disagree with me on Neville Gallimore.
Speaker 10: I think there's a lot of people that think that
Speaker 10: they'll move on from him.
Speaker 4: I don't disagree by the way. I think he's on
Speaker 4: the team.
Speaker 10: And then who is the other one, Kevin Joseph, Yeah,
Speaker 10: Kelvin Joseph, So yeah, and I have no argument.
Speaker 5: I mean, that's what's so interesting about I mean, those
Speaker 5: guys are all bubble guys that I have no problem
Speaker 5: sitting here saying that I have a difficult time picking
Speaker 5: some of these bottom four or five guys from the roster,
Speaker 5: when no other time that I've covered the team have
Speaker 5: I heard as much from the coaches in the front
Speaker 5: office talk about how difficult to me cut this down.
Speaker 5: So this is their full time job what they do.
Speaker 5: Three sixty five and they're having a hard time with it.
Speaker 5: I'm just fine with me having a hard time with it.
Speaker 2: So Beamer, if you could take my camera real quick,
Speaker 2: if you want, I'm going to show you just a
Speaker 2: visual representation of what we kept.
Speaker 4: I don't know if Beamer is able to thank you keep.
Speaker 10: One of the tourch cameras we got out.
Speaker 4: I don't know which one we get to.
Speaker 10: Are we gonna get to that one right there?
Speaker 8: Yeah?
Speaker 4: Yeah, you hold it, you hold it up there.
Speaker 2: But you've got you've got the visual representation of what
Speaker 2: the Cowboys are going to take in terms of the roster.
Speaker 4: This is working your seat twenty four. You got the
Speaker 4: one shot on your seat. Oh yeah, there you go.
Speaker 4: There it is so we can do it right there.
Speaker 2: So, uh, three quarterbacks, three running backs, five wide receivers,
Speaker 2: four tight ends, nine offensive linemen to go to twenty
Speaker 2: four offensive players, nine defensive linemen, five linebackers, six corners,
Speaker 2: six safeties, three special teams, so twenty six on defense
Speaker 2: and three on special teams and those.
Speaker 4: That's uh, the visual representation of how we.
Speaker 10: Built headmanship there from you, No thank you.
Speaker 2: I've been working on the shows to use this for
Speaker 2: sheet got to got to be able to work on
Speaker 2: it a little bit.
Speaker 7: I just used the roster that we got the press.
Speaker 2: Actually I did the same thing, but I did it
Speaker 2: on on on photo shop to get it to make
Speaker 2: it happen. All Right, that does it for us. You're
Speaker 2: on Talking Cowboys. We will be back at ten am
Speaker 2: Central time on Wednesday. We'll continue to look at what
Speaker 2: happens with the actual roster cuts.
Speaker 4: Now that we've we've played the.
Speaker 2: Games ourselves, we'll see just how close we were, and
Speaker 2: of course we'll.
Speaker 4: React to it.
Speaker 6: Actually, we might not be here at ten am on Wednesday's.
Speaker 7: Keep an eye on flexibility if you are trying to.
Speaker 5: Do earlier practice this week so they can actually get
Speaker 5: outside when it's not one hundred and twelve.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't blame them, I really don't.
Speaker 8: All right, it's not getting over one hundred.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, you know it's not.
Speaker 10: Yeah, I don't know that. That just I heard in
Speaker 10: the nineties.
Speaker 4: This week, maybe I just had a sweatter weather.
Speaker 10: Playing for a while. Was to have a couple of
Speaker 10: morning practices.
Speaker 2: Yeah, because they want to get out on the ground,
Speaker 2: get out out there, natural grass.
Speaker 10: Gosh, Isaiah, Isaiah's never been more disappointed.
Speaker 4: To watching the heat waves in the stretch. Buddy, all right,
Speaker 4: that doesn't for us.
Speaker 2: For Isaiah stand back, Chris Beam in the back, we've
Speaker 2: got John Machoda, Nick Harris, and Kyle Yemens. We'll see
