WEBVTT - Talkin' Cowboys: Concerns Up Front? 0:00:06.000 --> 0:00:08.559 The following is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com 0:00:08.560 --> 0:00:19.959 and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club. This he's Talking Cowboys, 0:00:20.360 --> 0:00:23.680 screening live from the Dallas Cowboys World Head Hours at 0:00:23.720 --> 0:00:34.960 the Star in Frisco. Here are Mickey Spagnola, Brian Brons, 0:00:35.479 --> 0:00:40.000 Rob Phillips, and Bill Jones. And it is a Wednesday 0:00:40.159 --> 0:00:45.159 here at the Star in Frisco inside the SWBC Mortgage Studios. 0:00:45.520 --> 0:00:49.000 This is Talking Cowboys as it is time to get 0:00:49.040 --> 0:00:52.800 set for those Green Bay Packers coming to AT and 0:00:52.880 --> 0:00:57.200 T Stadium on Sunday afternoon. At three twenty five, Cowboys 0:00:57.320 --> 0:01:00.560 hit the practice field, as is the norm on a Wednesday, 0:01:00.640 --> 0:01:03.960 they are set up outside for an outdoor practice in 0:01:04.200 --> 0:01:07.920 what figures to be hopefully this is the last outdoor 0:01:07.959 --> 0:01:11.240 practice over ninety degrees. What do you think meteorologists making 0:01:11.400 --> 0:01:14.280 I didn't think. You're probably wrong. Oh okay, all right, 0:01:15.640 --> 0:01:21.800 well we have no hope for us. Yeah, it's been 0:01:21.840 --> 0:01:23.959 a long time since I heard that drop of this show. 0:01:24.080 --> 0:01:27.480 That's good. I like that. Yeah, yeah, But we just 0:01:27.520 --> 0:01:29.920 got done with a Jason Garrett press conference and some 0:01:30.000 --> 0:01:32.560 news coming out of that press conference. As we get 0:01:32.600 --> 0:01:35.280 things kicked off here, Brian, you are you ready to 0:01:35.280 --> 0:01:37.640 play on that offensive line. I'll tell you what, you 0:01:37.640 --> 0:01:40.680 don't want me playing in that offensive line. That would 0:01:40.680 --> 0:01:44.240 be too pretty right now. But no, they've got they've 0:01:44.280 --> 0:01:46.039 got some things they're going to have to work through 0:01:46.120 --> 0:01:49.520 with practice today. We all understand that Cam Fleming is 0:01:49.560 --> 0:01:52.160 going to go for Tyrant Smith. We kind of had 0:01:52.200 --> 0:01:55.840 that one down. We didn't expect though, the while Collins one, 0:01:55.880 --> 0:01:59.680 I don't think we didn't see that back. Yeah, Ailment 0:01:59.720 --> 0:02:01.800 coming in on that rocked up I guess after the game. 0:02:01.880 --> 0:02:05.480 So looks like in practice today you're gonna have three 0:02:05.600 --> 0:02:09.920 new guys in well, at least in different spots on 0:02:09.960 --> 0:02:13.600 that first team line. So you're looking at Connor Williams 0:02:13.600 --> 0:02:16.520 playing some tackle today. Tackle kind of felt like Connor 0:02:16.560 --> 0:02:19.480 Williams was going to play tackle anyway. If Lyle Collins 0:02:19.480 --> 0:02:21.320 had practice, I had feeling they were going to maybe 0:02:21.360 --> 0:02:24.400 work him at one of the tackle spots just to 0:02:24.480 --> 0:02:28.359 kind of get that swing tackle practice. Haven't seen him 0:02:28.400 --> 0:02:31.959 practice at with with the offensive line with that excuse me, 0:02:32.000 --> 0:02:35.800 with the tackles, uh and since the since OTAs and 0:02:35.840 --> 0:02:38.040 stuff like that, So this will be but he you know, 0:02:38.120 --> 0:02:40.680 he was a starter at University of Texas at left tackle. 0:02:41.160 --> 0:02:43.280 I mean when you evaluated him, you could valuate him 0:02:43.280 --> 0:02:44.880 as a tackle, a guard, a center. I mean I 0:02:44.880 --> 0:02:46.800 saw the New Orleans Saints work him out as a center, 0:02:46.960 --> 0:02:49.560 thinking that, and so guys got to he's you know, 0:02:49.600 --> 0:02:52.400 made a lot of starts at high level of college football, 0:02:52.400 --> 0:02:53.679 and if you had to play, I'm sure he could 0:02:53.680 --> 0:02:56.160 play for you. Pretty well. I saw Dak walking out 0:02:56.200 --> 0:03:00.760 to practice in body armor. You're not like this, you're 0:03:00.760 --> 0:03:04.680 concerned about this, Mick, Well, let's take it one step further. 0:03:05.200 --> 0:03:08.960 Cam Fleming has to start it left tackle, Connor Williams 0:03:09.000 --> 0:03:11.519 has to start it right tackle, and one of your 0:03:13.440 --> 0:03:17.800 get hurt. Yeah, Zack Martin get ready, Yes, Because like 0:03:17.919 --> 0:03:22.200 Brian mentioned, that's he's a guy that played. You need 0:03:22.240 --> 0:03:25.360 another guard. Brandon Knight can play both, play both spots. 0:03:25.800 --> 0:03:30.160 Brandon Knight hadn't been active. Like I said, I'll tell you, 0:03:30.200 --> 0:03:32.200 there's a lot of teams with worst offensive lines in 0:03:32.240 --> 0:03:35.040 the National Football League plan right now. Well, they feel 0:03:35.080 --> 0:03:37.320 like they got some depth there, but it's going to 0:03:37.400 --> 0:03:40.640 be tested potentially, at least it's looking more likely according 0:03:40.640 --> 0:03:43.440 to Jerry that no tyrant, at least for this game. Sure, 0:03:43.520 --> 0:03:47.600 we'll see. Um, maybe Collins gets this day and he 0:03:47.640 --> 0:03:50.960 can work in as the week goes on. Um, But man, 0:03:51.080 --> 0:03:52.720 that's you know, you're going up and gets a pretty 0:03:52.720 --> 0:03:56.120 good front this week in Green Bay and you didn't 0:03:56.120 --> 0:03:59.280 have a good time, a good showing controlling the line 0:03:59.320 --> 0:04:01.480 of scrimmage this week. You got to do a better 0:04:01.560 --> 0:04:04.280 job of that this week, for sure. So we'll see. 0:04:04.360 --> 0:04:07.040 Body armor is a little strong, but you know it's 0:04:07.240 --> 0:04:10.040 you're right, there's something they got to work through. And 0:04:10.560 --> 0:04:13.400 some positive news though at the wide receiver position. Yeah, 0:04:13.520 --> 0:04:15.840 Michael Gallup went out there and proved to them, to 0:04:15.960 --> 0:04:18.680 Britt Brown into san Jay Lyle that he can actually 0:04:18.720 --> 0:04:20.840 practice today. And so he'll go out there and give 0:04:20.839 --> 0:04:23.440 it a go. They call it limited. I'll be interested 0:04:23.440 --> 0:04:26.800 to see how limited he really is. But you know, 0:04:26.839 --> 0:04:29.080 I think if he makes it through this week, okay, 0:04:29.400 --> 0:04:31.360 then you're gonna see him playing in a football game 0:04:31.400 --> 0:04:33.480 this week. I think if he's limited is because they 0:04:33.560 --> 0:04:36.200 want him limited. Yeah, they don't want to overdo it 0:04:36.240 --> 0:04:38.839 after you know, having surgery and being out for a 0:04:38.880 --> 0:04:42.480 couple of weeks. But I got a feeling he's he's 0:04:42.560 --> 0:04:45.159 ready to go. I think Mickey's right, he's gonna play, 0:04:45.240 --> 0:04:47.760 and it's kind of on the same timetable that we expected. 0:04:47.800 --> 0:04:49.960 It was a scope on his knee, and so that 0:04:50.000 --> 0:04:51.839 can mets two to four weeks. He went on the 0:04:51.839 --> 0:04:53.960 short side of that though. Yeah, that's you know, that's 0:04:54.000 --> 0:04:56.840 a credit to him too that he can get out there. 0:04:56.880 --> 0:04:59.599 And again, we've talked about this. It's the it's the 0:04:59.680 --> 0:05:02.200 will this to want to rehab and to get back 0:05:02.200 --> 0:05:03.960 out on the field, and that's what he was able 0:05:03.960 --> 0:05:06.240 to do. So, you know, good for him. It's good 0:05:06.279 --> 0:05:08.120 if they can get him back there and get him involved. 0:05:08.160 --> 0:05:10.200 You know that the Packers and talk to some folks 0:05:10.240 --> 0:05:12.599 up in Green Bay last night. They're struggling with some 0:05:12.640 --> 0:05:14.880 injuries at their corner. It looks like the it looks 0:05:14.880 --> 0:05:18.520 like King, uh, Kevin King has got a growing injury 0:05:18.560 --> 0:05:20.360 and we'll probably not practice, will be on the injury 0:05:20.400 --> 0:05:22.120 port all week and he might not even play well 0:05:22.200 --> 0:05:27.120 in the injury growing Okay, he's got some growing pages. Yeah, 0:05:27.200 --> 0:05:29.800 did I say it right? And then probably not. I'm 0:05:29.839 --> 0:05:31.760 just kind of I was like going off the uh 0:05:31.960 --> 0:05:34.760 the I was going off your reads, is what I 0:05:34.880 --> 0:05:40.039 was doing. He's been waiting all season for again, somebody 0:05:40.080 --> 0:05:43.160 else been a while. We had growing injury. I had 0:05:43.160 --> 0:05:45.760 a growing injury. But no, they they're they're they're a 0:05:45.760 --> 0:05:47.760 little bit of a little bit of a bind right 0:05:47.760 --> 0:05:51.000 there at cornerback spot because they do Jerry Alexander is 0:05:51.120 --> 0:05:54.120 really good player, but the other corners are you know, 0:05:54.400 --> 0:05:56.480 Kings did a pretty good job. But if he can't play, 0:05:56.480 --> 0:05:58.760 then they're they're in some they're in some trouble there 0:05:58.839 --> 0:06:01.040 right now with their with the situation. They're in a 0:06:01.120 --> 0:06:04.560 bind at wide receiver too. They are, And I get 0:06:04.560 --> 0:06:06.680 into that, I'm sure, yeah, but DeVante Adams is not 0:06:06.680 --> 0:06:09.560 going to play. He's not gonna Yeah, he's not gonna pay. 0:06:09.600 --> 0:06:11.880 He had a great game the other day. Sure did 0:06:11.960 --> 0:06:14.680 what ten catches one hundred and eighty yards. It's encouraging. 0:06:14.680 --> 0:06:16.400 And when you play Philadelphia, you know you can throw 0:06:16.400 --> 0:06:18.440 the ball like that. And then they bring Scandrick in there, 0:06:18.440 --> 0:06:21.600 see you feel even better about that. But the thing 0:06:21.640 --> 0:06:24.200 about it is that with Adams out of the yeah, 0:06:24.279 --> 0:06:27.920 it's gonna be about Geronimo Allison and and and also 0:06:28.120 --> 0:06:34.520 uh yeah they scandling An Awards, but yeah, those those 0:06:34.600 --> 0:06:36.680 you know, but it's a quarterback too. You're gonna have 0:06:36.720 --> 0:06:38.560 to deal with this guy. That's that's such a pain 0:06:38.640 --> 0:06:40.080 in them, you know what to have to deal with 0:06:40.120 --> 0:06:42.520 that guy. He'll still get the ball to different guys. 0:06:42.520 --> 0:06:44.279 But man, you go back and you watch the Jimmy 0:06:44.320 --> 0:06:46.240 Graham will catch a few. Get ready for that. Even 0:06:46.240 --> 0:06:48.640 watch the first drive against Philadelphia and the first three 0:06:48.680 --> 0:06:50.800 balls go to Adams and he's lining up in all 0:06:50.839 --> 0:06:53.080 different spots. He's outside, he's in a slot. They throw 0:06:53.520 --> 0:06:56.840 running jet sweep with him. He's their guy. So and 0:06:57.040 --> 0:07:01.000 the running game hasn't gotten on track either, So things 0:07:01.040 --> 0:07:03.160 to work through. But nobody feels sorry for you in 0:07:03.200 --> 0:07:07.200 this league because everybody's got something, no question. And um, 0:07:08.520 --> 0:07:13.840 they also got another problem. So their other inside tell 0:07:13.880 --> 0:07:17.200 us how the running game gives up a lot of yards. 0:07:16.880 --> 0:07:21.200 Lee don't say it, Mickey last week. So they're without 0:07:21.320 --> 0:07:26.760 their other inside linebacker or Burkes has been out with 0:07:26.800 --> 0:07:30.240 a peck. Yeah, and when they go to their nickel 0:07:30.560 --> 0:07:35.640 with when Philadelphia went three wide, their other kind of 0:07:35.800 --> 0:07:41.880 linebacker was a safety. Yeah, Adrian Amos, they'll they'll play Will, 0:07:41.920 --> 0:07:44.640 they'll play Will Redman there too, number twenty five, Well 0:07:44.680 --> 0:07:48.760 mostly yeah, so they they they don't like. So they 0:07:48.760 --> 0:07:51.800 got Martinez as a single linebacker in the middle of 0:07:51.800 --> 0:07:55.320 the field. Good player, good player, but he they got 0:07:55.360 --> 0:07:58.960 exposed with the way they played their nickel defense. Yeah, 0:07:59.080 --> 0:08:00.640 that that's the way they play play it. Though they 0:08:01.320 --> 0:08:03.400 don't know how they stopped the run doing that, well, 0:08:03.440 --> 0:08:05.840 they don't, but let's not talk about that because every 0:08:05.880 --> 0:08:08.000 time we talk about somebody that can't defend the run. 0:08:08.080 --> 0:08:11.440 They looked like the eighty five Bears playing the run. 0:08:12.480 --> 0:08:14.680 Philadelphia ended up with the I want to say one 0:08:14.760 --> 0:08:18.120 hundred and six. Let me you know, you know how 0:08:18.120 --> 0:08:20.320 they did it, though the Philadelphia did a great job. 0:08:20.360 --> 0:08:22.320 They did. Now I don't think the Cowboys are capable 0:08:22.360 --> 0:08:25.280 of doing this with their tight ends, but the Dallas 0:08:25.320 --> 0:08:29.120 Goddard and those guys, the way they trapped, they trapped 0:08:29.120 --> 0:08:31.600 the ends. So what they did was they down block, 0:08:31.760 --> 0:08:34.880 pulled guys and then trapped with their h or they're 0:08:34.920 --> 0:08:38.040 tight end and they hit They hit the Packers on 0:08:38.240 --> 0:08:41.200 I mean, the Packers had no answer for that scheme 0:08:41.320 --> 0:08:44.679 right there. None. So yeah, it's nice job Sanders. Those 0:08:44.720 --> 0:08:46.880 guys they ran the ball with some toughness in that game, 0:08:47.200 --> 0:08:49.720 but a lot of down blocks, a lot of pulling. 0:08:50.360 --> 0:08:52.600 You know, they were just trying to angle they make 0:08:52.640 --> 0:08:54.480 the packers kind of take them where they wanted to 0:08:54.520 --> 0:08:57.560 go and then run the ball where they had vacated 0:08:57.559 --> 0:09:00.520 where they were able to push guys past the lie backers, 0:09:00.520 --> 0:09:03.560 the down linemen, and that Philadelphia did a really good 0:09:03.640 --> 0:09:05.880 job with their with the way the scheme is set up. 0:09:05.920 --> 0:09:09.800 But they again, I don't see the Cowboys whamming, you know, 0:09:09.840 --> 0:09:12.160 with their tight ends or trapping with their tight ends 0:09:12.200 --> 0:09:15.319 with that much success like the like the Eagles had. Yeah, 0:09:15.320 --> 0:09:17.840 but if Cam Flemings at left tackle, you're gonna see 0:09:17.880 --> 0:09:20.440 the tight end over there helping, no question, it's gonna 0:09:20.440 --> 0:09:23.440 be there helping. But I'm saying that they so wide. Yeah, 0:09:23.480 --> 0:09:26.640 they played their linebackers so wide on the line of 0:09:26.720 --> 0:09:32.200 scrimmage there was gaping holes to start with. Yeah. So, 0:09:32.320 --> 0:09:33.920 and we'll get into it as we go on through 0:09:33.920 --> 0:09:37.360 the week. Um. Defensively, Um, you know, of course, they 0:09:37.400 --> 0:09:40.120 had Don Capers calling the shots for years and years. 0:09:40.880 --> 0:09:44.040 How does this three four look different from past three 0:09:44.080 --> 0:09:46.720 fours as far as putting pressure on the quarterback because 0:09:46.720 --> 0:09:49.760 they've got those two outside smith guys they picked up 0:09:49.760 --> 0:09:52.440 in free agency who are outstanding so far. So Jarius 0:09:52.520 --> 0:09:55.400 Zarius Smith is for real and then we all Preston, Oh, 0:09:55.440 --> 0:09:57.880 you know, we all know Preston from Washington. That's gonna 0:09:57.880 --> 0:10:00.040 be tough. And that's what Mickey's kind of alluding to, 0:10:00.200 --> 0:10:02.319 that they're going to have to figure out how they 0:10:02.360 --> 0:10:05.839 want to play or how to help Cam Fleming. And 0:10:05.920 --> 0:10:08.480 you know, Jason Garrett was describing the type of technique 0:10:08.520 --> 0:10:11.240 that Cam Fleming uses and it's kind of all over 0:10:11.280 --> 0:10:14.160 the place, you know, footwork, you know, blocking with his 0:10:14.240 --> 0:10:17.360 back turning on guys all that. He's absolutely right about that. 0:10:17.880 --> 0:10:19.720 So yeah, I have a feeling that the Packers are 0:10:19.760 --> 0:10:21.400 going to try and attack him. They're going to see 0:10:21.400 --> 0:10:25.560 where he's at pass protection wise and uh and go 0:10:25.640 --> 0:10:28.520 that route. They're probably trying to attack Connor Williams in 0:10:28.520 --> 0:10:30.840 this game as well, see if he's up to it. 0:10:30.920 --> 0:10:32.719 You know, when you look at Kenny Clark as their 0:10:32.760 --> 0:10:35.520 nose tackle, he's a guy that has quickness and some 0:10:35.559 --> 0:10:37.760 power to him. So you know, those are those are 0:10:37.760 --> 0:10:40.840 all pressure points for the Cowboys right now as we speak. 0:10:41.000 --> 0:10:44.520 All I know is when Cam Fleming started the game 0:10:44.559 --> 0:10:49.120 against Washington last year in place of Tyrann Smith, I 0:10:49.160 --> 0:10:52.000 think it took the Cowboys almost four quarters to throw 0:10:52.040 --> 0:10:54.560 a ball further than twenty yards in the air or 0:10:54.559 --> 0:10:56.880 ten yards in the air, and that's everything was little 0:10:56.920 --> 0:11:01.040 out quicks and when he and when he didn't get 0:11:01.120 --> 0:11:04.560 help over there, and they did it in different ways, 0:11:06.480 --> 0:11:09.120 it was fifty fifty. Well they he was good against 0:11:09.120 --> 0:11:11.360 the run. I'll give him that. He was okay against 0:11:11.360 --> 0:11:15.040 the run, but boy in pass protection, Preston Smith. It 0:11:15.120 --> 0:11:17.559 was Preston Smith right on that side. And then when 0:11:17.559 --> 0:11:20.040 they got in third and long, Oh, no, we're gonna 0:11:20.040 --> 0:11:22.440 put Karragan over on your side and see how you 0:11:22.520 --> 0:11:25.200 do over there. Saw you watching that tape back. So 0:11:25.320 --> 0:11:27.480 that's your concern too, that they've got to bring somebody 0:11:27.520 --> 0:11:30.240 in tight end, somebody to chip. I bet. I bet 0:11:30.360 --> 0:11:32.840 seventy five percent of the plays the tight end was 0:11:32.880 --> 0:11:35.960 sitting over there to start, or he was motioning over, 0:11:36.120 --> 0:11:39.040 or the running back was on that side, and when 0:11:39.040 --> 0:11:42.839 the running back would go out, he didn't necessarily chip him, 0:11:43.160 --> 0:11:47.800 but he gave fleming protection to the outside so he 0:11:47.840 --> 0:11:50.679 could just guard the inside. Yeah, well, we're gonna let 0:11:50.720 --> 0:11:53.760 Chaz Green happen again to him, Yes, exactly. Well, they 0:11:53.800 --> 0:11:56.000 saw something they liked in him, though, because they gave 0:11:56.040 --> 0:11:58.040 him a two year deal, two year deal. I think, 0:11:58.120 --> 0:12:00.560 come back. I think it's it's like, well, what else 0:12:00.679 --> 0:12:03.679 is out there? Exactly? Well, he remember though they did 0:12:03.679 --> 0:12:07.000 win the Philadelphia. Yeah, they were a couple of games 0:12:07.000 --> 0:12:09.120 with the playing in there and and and the technique 0:12:09.240 --> 0:12:12.120 is not pretty. We all understand that. We'll see guy 0:12:12.160 --> 0:12:14.040 made a starting a Super Bowl, which is even more 0:12:14.040 --> 0:12:17.320 amazing to me, right tackle, right, bas Yeah, yeah, sure 0:12:17.320 --> 0:12:21.760 it did. It gets it gets the Eagle Eagles. Yeah yeah, yeah, 0:12:21.920 --> 0:12:23.680 So it's kind of crazy you think that you would, 0:12:23.720 --> 0:12:25.440 you know, he's played against Eagles a couple of times 0:12:25.440 --> 0:12:28.120 in his career and then done. Okay, but yeah, Mickey's right. 0:12:28.240 --> 0:12:31.080 I just think you cannot let you cannot let that 0:12:31.200 --> 0:12:34.120 side of the field ruin your game plan if you 0:12:34.200 --> 0:12:37.200 have to make those rushers go wider by putting a 0:12:37.240 --> 0:12:39.920 guy over there. At least it gives Dak the opportunity. 0:12:39.920 --> 0:12:43.320 He knows, he knows, he trust me, Dak knows. How 0:12:43.320 --> 0:12:45.880 about that that throw he made the Giants game with 0:12:45.880 --> 0:12:49.319 with flaming over there, and then you know, Olivier Vernon 0:12:49.360 --> 0:12:51.920 comes screaming off the edge and Dak has to spin 0:12:52.000 --> 0:12:53.960 and throws the ball to Beasley down the field. He 0:12:54.000 --> 0:12:56.559 knows what's over there at left tackle, trust me, he does. 0:12:56.720 --> 0:12:59.760 One other note for green Bay, they're compromise potentially on 0:12:59.800 --> 0:13:03.000 their offensive line. Brian Brian Bologa has got his shoulder, 0:13:03.120 --> 0:13:06.080 so we'll see what he does, if anything today that 0:13:06.080 --> 0:13:08.640 could affect them and their receiver situation. I mean, Green 0:13:08.640 --> 0:13:11.319 Bay's dealing with some stuff. Alex Alex Light over there 0:13:11.360 --> 0:13:14.120 for them, that number seventy. If he's over there, you 0:13:14.360 --> 0:13:18.200 just put If you play fantasy football, put put Lawrence 0:13:18.440 --> 0:13:20.240 on your on your roster this week if you don't 0:13:20.240 --> 0:13:21.880 already do it. I guess I don't know. I'm just 0:13:21.920 --> 0:13:24.520 saying that, but you know it to me because that 0:13:24.600 --> 0:13:26.760 that's gonna be a problem. They're gonna it blogged us 0:13:26.760 --> 0:13:28.880 at play. Then they're going to have to do something 0:13:28.880 --> 0:13:32.040 to help on that side over there with with Light. 0:13:32.240 --> 0:13:34.680 Well that that they had trouble on the left side 0:13:35.040 --> 0:13:39.520 against Philadelphia. Yeah, back to Harry or you it's like 0:13:39.679 --> 0:13:44.839 growing David backt he he didn't look like the same guy. 0:13:45.120 --> 0:13:48.120 Yeah in that game. Well, we'll see. You can drink 0:13:48.160 --> 0:13:51.880 a beer on you though, drink a beer. Maybe that 0:13:51.960 --> 0:13:56.240 was the problem. And speaking of roster type stuff and 0:13:56.440 --> 0:13:58.920 practice squad and so forth. What do you what are 0:13:58.920 --> 0:14:01.560 you thinking as far as what they do with the 0:14:01.640 --> 0:14:04.840 Cavon Frazier spot on the fifty three. I bet you 0:14:04.880 --> 0:14:06.880 that's where we talked about. They're gonna bring up Gonna. 0:14:07.080 --> 0:14:09.360 I would not be surprised one or the other. Yeah, 0:14:09.400 --> 0:14:12.199 it's either gonna be Jones. It's either gonna be Jones 0:14:12.200 --> 0:14:15.840 off the practice, Josh Jones, who they signed today, or 0:14:15.960 --> 0:14:18.839 it's going to be Bryant. And they love Bryant because 0:14:18.880 --> 0:14:21.600 when he does scout team stuff, he almost blocks every 0:14:21.640 --> 0:14:23.520 punt and he almost I mean he does things he 0:14:23.720 --> 0:14:25.400 kind of when you talk to him, it's like this 0:14:25.480 --> 0:14:27.360 guy shows up. I mean I was talking to Keith 0:14:27.480 --> 0:14:29.360 Quinny Goes. I didn't even know the guy's name, and 0:14:29.400 --> 0:14:31.120 all of a sudden he's showing up in these practices 0:14:31.160 --> 0:14:33.440 and he Goes. I learned his name real fast because 0:14:33.440 --> 0:14:36.960 he's showing up doing things that we you know that naturally. 0:14:37.200 --> 0:14:39.720 You know, he looks like he's just it's something he's 0:14:39.720 --> 0:14:42.280 done all his life. But that's you know, they need 0:14:42.320 --> 0:14:44.360 to get something out of these receivers that you know, 0:14:44.440 --> 0:14:46.160 they need to get something. They don't get anything out 0:14:46.200 --> 0:14:49.600 of Wilson. You know, playing special teams other than a 0:14:49.680 --> 0:14:52.320 secure catch, that's all they get it from him. So 0:14:52.400 --> 0:14:54.160 why don't you put somebody out there that can block, 0:14:54.280 --> 0:14:56.360 somebody that can go after the ball, somebody that can 0:14:56.640 --> 0:14:58.600 do a little more than what he's done. So if 0:14:58.760 --> 0:15:02.720 if Ventel show that he can handle this in practice 0:15:03.080 --> 0:15:06.800 as a special teamer, then you just use Donovan Wilson 0:15:07.280 --> 0:15:10.560 in Cavon spot right on special teams because he was 0:15:10.600 --> 0:15:13.720 inactive last week, so you make him active this week, 0:15:14.120 --> 0:15:16.640 which means one of those other wide receivers will be 0:15:16.680 --> 0:15:20.120 inactive if they bring Ventel to the fifty three. So 0:15:20.160 --> 0:15:23.320 who would that be, well, either Cedric Wilson or Tavon Right, 0:15:23.800 --> 0:15:28.840 Tavon could be Smith, but they take but if depends 0:15:28.840 --> 0:15:31.480 on how they feel about Galli. Yeah, yeah, you know 0:15:31.600 --> 0:15:34.480 as far as Mickey s right, Gallops gonna play Gallops 0:15:34.480 --> 0:15:36.600 of Warrior. He you know, two weeks come on, he's 0:15:36.600 --> 0:15:39.080 gonna He's he's trying to play. He knows how important 0:15:39.080 --> 0:15:41.840 these games are. He can see who the other corner 0:15:41.960 --> 0:15:43.640 is for Green Bay. That's all he needs to do, 0:15:43.840 --> 0:15:47.680 especially if it's not Kevin King. Just just walk nova 0:15:47.760 --> 0:15:49.320 check out there and tell him that you know, I 0:15:49.360 --> 0:15:51.480 had the same surgery and I made it back for 0:15:51.520 --> 0:15:54.800 the first round of the playoffs. It sounds like gallops already. 0:15:55.040 --> 0:15:57.400 Now he'll be fine, already wise to that, he'll be fine. 0:15:57.480 --> 0:15:59.760 That's why he was out there yesterday, and he's gonna 0:15:59.800 --> 0:16:02.160 be out there in a matter of seconds. He's probably 0:16:02.200 --> 0:16:04.680 already out there. We'll check on the practice field, see 0:16:04.680 --> 0:16:06.800 if there's any news out there, and we'll back take 0:16:06.840 --> 0:16:09.800 your phone calls here on talking Cowboys in just a moment. 0:16:10.000 --> 0:16:14.800 Your new apartment's big, such a great deal, It's okay, 0:16:15.040 --> 0:16:21.960 just okay.

Yeah, all right, we'll see Joe and Maryland. 0:20:08.359 --> 0:20:12.080 You're a first up. I'm talking cowboys on this Wednesday. Hello, Joe, 0:20:13.640 --> 0:20:17.040 how you guys doing a long time listener? I just 0:20:17.080 --> 0:20:21.480 had a couple of things. Number one, how come this 0:20:21.520 --> 0:20:25.879 team doesn't utilize the skill sets of the players that 0:20:25.920 --> 0:20:30.440 they have, Like I think that we need to help 0:20:30.480 --> 0:20:33.520 our running back out some by opening the field up 0:20:33.520 --> 0:20:37.760 for him. And you got Tavon Austin. And even if 0:20:37.800 --> 0:20:40.520 the play does not connect down the field, send this 0:20:40.560 --> 0:20:44.119 guy on a nine round on first down and you 0:20:44.200 --> 0:20:46.320 may get a flag, you may get a connection, but 0:20:46.440 --> 0:20:50.680 at least you're giving these opposing and coordinators something to 0:20:51.119 --> 0:20:52.920 take a look at. When this guy's in the game, 0:20:52.960 --> 0:20:54.760 he's just not going to run across the field and 0:20:55.280 --> 0:20:59.199 run a jet suite for three yards and try to 0:20:59.240 --> 0:21:02.480
