Yeah, he 11 00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:47,600 Speaker 1: called me when he with a cat squirrel. But anyway, 12 00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:51,240 Speaker 1: the reason I said, Jock, because the last two days 13 00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:54,480 Speaker 1: you've been trying to round up guests, and Josh been 14 00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:56,840 Speaker 1: taking us, you know, into the into the deal until 15 00:00:56,840 --> 00:00:59,680 Speaker 1: you come just ripping away from him. So but I'm 16 00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:02,920 Speaker 1: sorry about that. Sorry, sorry to be heard. It's okay, 17 00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:07,240 Speaker 1: can you hear me? Yeah? Oh, there's your volume over there. 18 00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:10,280 Speaker 1: It's probably jacked up. Mine was the other day. Well, 19 00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:14,800 Speaker 1: we're here at the Star in Frisco. Josh is not 20 00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:17,960 Speaker 1: he had another obligation today, so it ought to be 21 00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:22,720 Speaker 1: a really good show. Fellas, No, Josh always better. Thanks 22 00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:25,720 Speaker 1: for the water. You know you always get pure leaf tea. 23 00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:28,200 Speaker 1: I can bring you guys whatever you want. I take request. 24 00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:32,080 Speaker 1: Let me know what you want. Uh practice again today 25 00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:35,200 Speaker 1: out here at the Star. It was a morning practice. Um. 26 00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:37,959 Speaker 1: I believe they kicked off about ten forty five and 27 00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:41,640 Speaker 1: up about twelve thirty padded. There was a scene like 28 00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:45,720 Speaker 1: over there. I didn't go there. No, I did not 29 00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:49,400 Speaker 1: mess with it. I normally don't mess with the Thursday 30 00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:53,600 Speaker 1: Thursday practice because normally they would have cards a lot 31 00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:55,200 Speaker 1: of things, and you know, I don't know if they 32 00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:57,400 Speaker 1: even have the one on one sessions that I've talked 33 00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:00,760 Speaker 1: to brought us about that, but normally they were have cards, 34 00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:04,960 Speaker 1: and by this being the dress rehearsal, I think they 35 00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:06,760 Speaker 1: would treat it more like a game, so you won't 36 00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:09,280 Speaker 1: be as physical even though you have the pads on. 37 00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:12,519 Speaker 1: And maybe Coach Garrett probably still wanted to get a 38 00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:15,799 Speaker 1: little more physical, but I wouldn't see a reason why. Yeah, 39 00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:18,480 Speaker 1: they did get a nice little treat this afternoon, and 40 00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:22,560 Speaker 1: they coach let them off, let them out of meetings 41 00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:26,120 Speaker 1: and all that good stuff. So I talked over in 42 00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:28,960 Speaker 1: the locker room. Rob in the air, and yeah, they 43 00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:31,720 Speaker 1: handled it. Yeah, and uh, A couple of the guys 44 00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:33,760 Speaker 1: were like, man, they didn't even know about it, and 45 00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:36,000 Speaker 1: then they saw the schedule and then Coach, I guess 46 00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:38,280 Speaker 1: the last I guess maybe at practice let them know 47 00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:41,200 Speaker 1: that they had an afternoon off. The regular seasons like that, right, 48 00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:43,679 Speaker 1: don't they have Friday's afternoons. Yeah, I guess this would 49 00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:47,160 Speaker 1: be a Friday since the games on games on Saturday. 50 00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:48,600 Speaker 1: I guess this would be No, I guess this would 51 00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:52,639 Speaker 1: be a normal Thursday. Yes it is. Yeah, so Thursday. No, 52 00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:54,240 Speaker 1: this would be a Friday because it's two days out, 53 00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:56,920 Speaker 1: that's right. So yeah, I guess he's maybe getting them 54 00:02:56,960 --> 00:03:01,240 Speaker 1: in shape to getting routine for the regular season. So 55 00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:04,040 Speaker 1: I know they appreciated it. They weren't expecting it. So 56 00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:09,480 Speaker 1: let's get into a little talk about Coach said something 57 00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:11,600 Speaker 1: yesterday and I think I have it here on my 58 00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:16,959 Speaker 1: phone about Zeke and kind of what he expects, how 59 00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:21,800 Speaker 1: he kind of expects the game to play out, Zeke's reps. 60 00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:27,560 Speaker 1: I think the biggest thing is just having the mindset 61 00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:30,080 Speaker 1: of preparing him for week one of the season, Garrett 62 00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:32,960 Speaker 1: said about Zeke. That's the approach we're taking. He got 63 00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:36,120 Speaker 1: a number of more reps in training camp than he 64 00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:39,800 Speaker 1: did last year. So I guess my question to you 65 00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:43,360 Speaker 1: guys is, as of right now, I think I heard 66 00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:45,840 Speaker 1: that the appeal is going to be heard next week. 67 00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:49,480 Speaker 1: I think's what I heard. As of now, he's Zeke's 68 00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:52,160 Speaker 1: facing a six game suspension. You know, even if the 69 00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:55,080 Speaker 1: appeals heard or whatever, I would assume that would probably 70 00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:58,160 Speaker 1: if if it is dropped, it would you know, four games, 71 00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:00,840 Speaker 1: three games? I thinks what the ex dictation would be 72 00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:06,400 Speaker 1: there total speculation, But if he's not playing for the 73 00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:09,440 Speaker 1: first six games of the season, you still have another 74 00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:14,800 Speaker 1: week of preseason. Even if it's dropped to four, that's 75 00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:18,559 Speaker 1: five weeks before he steps on the field. Why would 76 00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:24,840 Speaker 1: you risk him getting hurt if he's game speed, game 77 00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:28,200 Speaker 1: contact and all that now, if he doesn't really need 78 00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:31,760 Speaker 1: to be ready for game speed game contact for seven, 79 00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:36,240 Speaker 1: eight more weeks or possibly six more weeks, I just 80 00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:38,680 Speaker 1: want to get your guys thoughts on would you hold 81 00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:41,080 Speaker 1: him out? Would you And I understand what Garrett's doing. 82 00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:43,160 Speaker 1: He's talking about his mindset and he's trying to get 83 00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:45,600 Speaker 1: him right for the season and get him prepared. Is 84 00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:47,200 Speaker 1: it a good thing to let him get out there 85 00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:49,520 Speaker 1: and let him kind of bruise around and treat everything 86 00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:53,359 Speaker 1: as normal. And maybe that's a mental thing, or do 87 00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:56,920 Speaker 1: you guys think you ought to be careful? And I 88 00:04:56,960 --> 00:05:01,640 Speaker 1: see they turn to Kurt. I think you will hear 89 00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:04,279 Speaker 1: what Kurt has to say first. So Kurt, there's I 90 00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:08,200 Speaker 1: have two thoughts on it, really one okay, all right? 91 00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:11,120 Speaker 1: One of them I always remember. I go back to 92 00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:13,160 Speaker 1: Emmett Smith saying I don't need to practice how to 93 00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:16,440 Speaker 1: get hit, so you know, how much does he really 94 00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:18,920 Speaker 1: need to do that? Also, to me, it's not so 95 00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:23,440 Speaker 1: much risking Zeke getting out there and getting hit, it's 96 00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:25,840 Speaker 1: are we taking away reps from guys that who are 97 00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:28,040 Speaker 1: who are going to be there, like McFadden and we 98 00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:30,279 Speaker 1: want to see more Rod Smith. I mean, should those 99 00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:31,920 Speaker 1: guys be in there getting to work because you know 100 00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:35,080 Speaker 1: Zeke is gonna be around for a while. So I 101 00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:39,039 Speaker 1: guess you gotta play him some. But if you do it, 102 00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:41,480 Speaker 1: I wouldn't. But why do you have to play him some? 103 00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:43,600 Speaker 1: That's I guess that's my question is do you have 104 00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:46,839 Speaker 1: to play him? Like? What's the point? What is I 105 00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:49,599 Speaker 1: don't seem out there point? But I don't know. It's 106 00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:53,080 Speaker 1: two ways we have to look at it. Is Zeke 107 00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:57,120 Speaker 1: is Zeke along with the NFL Players Association and his 108 00:05:57,279 --> 00:06:02,719 Speaker 1: lawyers are how far are they willing to push this? 109 00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:07,680 Speaker 1: If they're gonna push it to a court and appeals 110 00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:11,200 Speaker 1: and you know, tie it up it, does the commissioner 111 00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:13,600 Speaker 1: still have the strength and make him, make him stand 112 00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:16,880 Speaker 1: for the suspensions or he gets to play through this 113 00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:21,440 Speaker 1: whole process. I think that's where just right. Yeah, And 114 00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:24,200 Speaker 1: if it's a Brady situation, obviously this is the right move. 115 00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:27,560 Speaker 1: This is the Jones. Jones may have said already we're 116 00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:29,760 Speaker 1: gonna fight. They may know, yes, we're gonna fight this, 117 00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:31,400 Speaker 1: We're gonna try to tie it up in court or whatever. 118 00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:34,320 Speaker 1: So maybe that knowing, if they know that knowledge behind 119 00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:36,200 Speaker 1: the yeah, maybe that's why they want to. Coach wouldn't 120 00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:37,919 Speaker 1: be able to come out and say that publicly, but 121 00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:40,200 Speaker 1: knowing he knows. He's like, I've got to get this 122 00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:42,080 Speaker 1: guy ready for the first game, just in case the 123 00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:50,400 Speaker 1: seed see once immit established to who he was, you know, 124 00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:59,159 Speaker 1: I mean a running back unlike any other position, they 125 00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:02,680 Speaker 1: don't need it. I mean I'm talking about that the 126 00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:06,839 Speaker 1: gifted Ones ain't talking about these plotters and everyday bangers. 127 00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:11,160 Speaker 1: I'm talking about the ones, the Emmett Smiths of the world. 128 00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:14,400 Speaker 1: This kid here, Uh, that's just like Arrys soundings. They 129 00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:17,200 Speaker 1: don't I mean they And he was true and what 130 00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:19,400 Speaker 1: you just said a great statement. How I got to 131 00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:23,000 Speaker 1: practice on how to get hit. That's just like when 132 00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:26,160 Speaker 1: you you draft a running back, that's the one position 133 00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:30,320 Speaker 1: that you playing on them coming in ready to play 134 00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:32,520 Speaker 1: and have a state they can have a standout season. 135 00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:35,040 Speaker 1: Usually your receivers need a year under their bad your 136 00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:38,720 Speaker 1: defensive line guys. You know, running backs the one So 137 00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:41,240 Speaker 1: I guess that's the thing. Only it was the only 138 00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:43,600 Speaker 1: thing that most running backs have to do is become 139 00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:47,440 Speaker 1: a third down back. You know, how to block, block, read, 140 00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:49,840 Speaker 1: what the offensive line read, have the double reads. That's 141 00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:53,560 Speaker 1: the only thing they normally have have to do in 142 00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:56,040 Speaker 1: the league. And if but it's two other downs that 143 00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:58,120 Speaker 1: the first and second day, they don't have to do this. 144 00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:04,480 Speaker 1: And people said, well, the lineman need to be in 145 00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:09,679 Speaker 1: concert with each other. Offensive lineman defensive lineman are running 146 00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:14,520 Speaker 1: upgainst full grown men like mister Charlton. He he saw 147 00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:17,480 Speaker 1: right away like wow, this ain't William and Mary the 148 00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:21,200 Speaker 1: first game. You know what I'm saying, this ain't Florida 149 00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:24,120 Speaker 1: and him or this ain't Bethune Cookman. You know he 150 00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:27,240 Speaker 1: full grown men and even the sorry full grown man 151 00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:31,160 Speaker 1: you know, still full grown man, full grown men. Yeah, 152 00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:34,000 Speaker 1: so what's the advantage of of letting him play if 153 00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:37,800 Speaker 1: you you know, nature said if if, if they don't have, 154 00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:40,560 Speaker 1: if they if they can, if they if they mean 155 00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:44,840 Speaker 1: and aggressive about it, and and mister Jones and along 156 00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:49,000 Speaker 1: with other sources to say, no, we're not standing for it. 157 00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:52,120 Speaker 1: We need a little bit more than what you what 158 00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:58,760 Speaker 1: you're saying, uh and you you playing on that right there. 159 00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:01,439 Speaker 1: But see, Jason Garrett has to all and that's what 160 00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:04,040 Speaker 1: we I forget sometimes as a fan too, that he 161 00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:07,080 Speaker 1: has to cover itself. As a coach, he does have 162 00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:10,000 Speaker 1: to have this guy mindset going into the first game. 163 00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:12,520 Speaker 1: You know, if you just don't play him, now we 164 00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:16,000 Speaker 1: automatically saying we, oh, well he's he's out. Yeah, he's out. 165 00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:19,800 Speaker 1: So I mean as a coach, we we had allog 166 00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:22,480 Speaker 1: you to sit here behind our mikes.

I wouldn't 169 00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:30,400 Speaker 1: care if he didn't play. Is there any kind of 170 00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:34,400 Speaker 1: ego involved with keeping Zeke happy?

And you know, one thing 256 00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:29,960 Speaker 1: as a fan that I hope does not happen. There's 257 00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:34,480 Speaker 1: such a cool energy around this team last year, and 258 00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:36,080 Speaker 1: a lot of that had to do with Zeke and 259 00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:38,680 Speaker 1: him being a kid. You know, I'm talking about in 260 00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:40,600 Speaker 1: the locker room. I'm talking about all the night life stuff, 261 00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:43,360 Speaker 1: but you know, throwing candy at Dak in the locker room, 262 00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:45,280 Speaker 1: and it was so fun to watch that play out, 263 00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:48,600 Speaker 1: and it was contagious. The old guys were laughing, you know, 264 00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:50,600 Speaker 1: the ones you never see having fun. You'd see went 265 00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:52,600 Speaker 1: and laughing at stuff in the locker room. You never 266 00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:54,800 Speaker 1: see that. You would see Sean Lee laughing, you know. 267 00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:57,200 Speaker 1: It's it was so contagious that I hope and it 268 00:14:57,280 --> 00:15:00,320 Speaker 1: happens to I think every athlete you come in the league. 269 00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:04,240 Speaker 1: You're green, you're not the media hasn't busted you, you know, 270 00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:07,960 Speaker 1: busted your balls for something, and you're you're happy to 271 00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:10,240 Speaker 1: be here and it's bright eyed and bushytail. And after 272 00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:12,480 Speaker 1: that first year you realize, I don't have to do 273 00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:14,400 Speaker 1: this stuff. I don't have to talk to these people. 274 00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:16,520 Speaker 1: I don't have to do this and you and you 275 00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:19,320 Speaker 1: revert back and you and you become this crotchety old 276 00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:22,960 Speaker 1: guy that's to be small. Yeah, exactly. So I don't 277 00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:26,200 Speaker 1: get fined, you know, I hope and at some point 278 00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:28,600 Speaker 1: it will because it happens to every single player in 279 00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:32,360 Speaker 1: this league. But I hope this him getting beat up 280 00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:34,560 Speaker 1: in the media and you know, in the public eye 281 00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:37,520 Speaker 1: and all this stuff. I hope it doesn't affect the 282 00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:40,200 Speaker 1: energy that they had last year. As a fan, you know, 283 00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:43,360 Speaker 1: I hope he you know, does whatever you have to do, 284 00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:45,600 Speaker 1: you know, after hours, but on the field, and this 285 00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:48,120 Speaker 1: was so much fun. So I mean, I'm sure there's 286 00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:50,520 Speaker 1: gonna be some of that. I understand your point about 287 00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:54,120 Speaker 1: Jason Garrett or Jerry Jones. I mean, they can't go 288 00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:56,560 Speaker 1: to they can't say you got to do this. They'll 289 00:15:56,600 --> 00:15:58,960 Speaker 1: be come to find But should it. Does Bryant be 290 00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:01,240 Speaker 1: saying that should Jason and wouldn't be saying you gotta 291 00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:04,120 Speaker 1: get your act together, we need you. If everybody is 292 00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:07,480 Speaker 1: talking to him, I promise you are giving him to 293 00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:11,360 Speaker 1: look like you know, everybody is trying to put it 294 00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:14,440 Speaker 1: in their way. Now, that does come a point where 295 00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:18,680 Speaker 1: mister Jones as an owner, Jim and Stephen as his 296 00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:22,480 Speaker 1: second in command and the coach head coach as the 297 00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:25,520 Speaker 1: guy who you know, you know, a chief operating officer 298 00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:28,680 Speaker 1: there on the field. They gonna they talking to him. 299 00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:31,640 Speaker 1: You know, we just don't hear it. I mean, they 300 00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:34,480 Speaker 1: they coming at him, and it could get to a 301 00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:38,200 Speaker 1: point where they have to financially start themselves say hey, man, 302 00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:40,720 Speaker 1: when you heard us, we gotta hurt you. You know, 303 00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:44,480 Speaker 1: are either taking playing time away? Were these six games 304 00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:48,600 Speaker 1: if they stand in the way in the feeling I 305 00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:51,520 Speaker 1: get from just watching the TV and listen to the 306 00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:54,680 Speaker 1: guys that I'm close to the way they talking. The 307 00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:58,920 Speaker 1: commissioner is trying to set a standard with He's again, yeah, 308 00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:02,240 Speaker 1: he's trying to set standard with this man. So if 309 00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:09,200 Speaker 1: if he say no, that he's not only hurting this 310 00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:13,800 Speaker 1: team by his decision, but he's telling every guy behind Zeke, 311 00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:17,800 Speaker 1: if your name come up in any type violence, not 312 00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:21,240 Speaker 1: just the domestic, in any type violence, six games gonna 313 00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:25,200 Speaker 1: be the standard. So, Nate, you talked about how there's 314 00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:28,440 Speaker 1: still the opportunity for them to go to court and 315 00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:31,720 Speaker 1: go to Tom Brady trajectory. I mean, are you hearing 316 00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:37,360 Speaker 1: anything like that? Na, No, I don't. But the thing 317 00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:39,919 Speaker 1: is how far do you want to push it? I 318 00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:44,840 Speaker 1: mean the I don't know really what the CBA says 319 00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:48,160 Speaker 1: on this Florida against it, but I do know this, 320 00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:51,920 Speaker 1: and I thought this was a chink in their armor 321 00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:55,159 Speaker 1: four or five years ago when I heard out of 322 00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:58,240 Speaker 1: all the things, the players turned the right over to 323 00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:02,720 Speaker 1: the commissioner to be the does jury executioner. That had 324 00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:06,040 Speaker 1: to be the dumbest thing in the world you could do. 325 00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:10,280 Speaker 1: There's not the NFL Players Association where they're token will 326 00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:14,760 Speaker 1: see that they haven't stopped anything yet. I think part 327 00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:16,960 Speaker 1: of the CBO. That's the difference between this case and 328 00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:20,160 Speaker 1: Brady is this. This is in the CBA ues domestic volence. 329 00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:22,760 Speaker 1: It's six games, so they may not get very far. 330 00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:26,800 Speaker 1: That's that's what I'm saying. They don't you know, was 331 00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:30,360 Speaker 1: this so this was not part of the CBA for Brady? 332 00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:32,760 Speaker 1: I thought that. I don't think it was a different 333 00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:36,600 Speaker 1: situation somehow that well it was a different situation. Yeah, 334 00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:40,080 Speaker 1: they were the same CBA, but it was time. It 335 00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:44,000 Speaker 1: just wasn't domestic. Five. My understanding is this on Tom 336 00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:50,840 Speaker 1: Brady for balls being tainted, and it's just my limited knowledge. 337 00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:53,760 Speaker 1: It's supposed to be twenty twenty five thousand dollars of ball. 338 00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:57,880 Speaker 1: That's that was supposed to been the worst case scenario 339 00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:03,520 Speaker 1: for Brady, but come to find out other owners were 340 00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:07,560 Speaker 1: pushing behind the scenes. You know, Oh, the do England 341 00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:11,040 Speaker 1: page is always uh so that you know, the commissioners 342 00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:13,520 Speaker 1: stepped up and lost a friend and mister Kraft, Yeah, 343 00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:16,199 Speaker 1: he overstepped his bounds and sing of that. But the 344 00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:19,680 Speaker 1: sentencing for this is in the CBS. It is, so yeah, 345 00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:22,480 Speaker 1: but it'll still depend on whether what a judge decides 346 00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:26,520 Speaker 1: to do in a labor court. And if a judge, 347 00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:32,280 Speaker 1: I think if they think that a judge could delay 348 00:19:32,359 --> 00:19:36,920 Speaker 1: the suspension, then I think they definitely have to do that. 349 00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:41,520 Speaker 1: And my reason is that if if if you could 350 00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:44,280 Speaker 1: push it, let's say the way Brady did all the 351 00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:48,359 Speaker 1: way to another season. I think season two for Zeke 352 00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:52,920 Speaker 1: is more valuable than season three because he's a running back. 353 00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:54,720 Speaker 1: But if you do that, you also take the chance 354 00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:57,760 Speaker 1: of them delaying it until right before the playoffs, and 355 00:19:57,800 --> 00:20:00,399 Speaker 1: then you lose him from maybe the end of the season, 356 00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:03,280 Speaker 1: the playoffs and possibly the Super Bowl. Yeah, and rolling 357 00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:06,280 Speaker 1: the dice there, well, how much you're rolling the dice 358 00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:11,639 Speaker 1: depends on what the legal the legal advice you're getting 359 00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:16,200 Speaker 1: is telling you. If they think that's a likelihood, then yeah, 360 00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:18,920 Speaker 1: it's a real dice roll. If they think, now this 361 00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:21,919 Speaker 1: we can make this last a long time. Just trust 362 00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:25,280 Speaker 1: us on this, then maybe you feel more comfortable about it. 363 00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:28,280 Speaker 1: But I think six games of year two are way 364 00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:31,720 Speaker 1: more valuable than six games of year three of any 365 00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:35,200 Speaker 1: athlete's career, and so I think it's in Zeke's best 366 00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:42,560 Speaker 1: interest if the legal advice is confident to take it 367 00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:44,960 Speaker 1: to court an attempt to not have to serve it 368 00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:47,639 Speaker 1: this season. Well, none of us are lawyers. I'm a 369 00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:51,159 Speaker 1: social media guy, Kurtz a editor, Nates a former player, 370 00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:55,200 Speaker 1: and you're an engineer. So let's just quit talking about this. 371 00:20:55,200 --> 00:20:57,840 Speaker 1: This is really depressing me, This is bringing me down 372 00:20:58,040 --> 00:21:02,600 Speaker 1: so well, is this right here? You just have to 373 00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:07,880 Speaker 1: I believe that it all work itself out. Always does 374 00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:09,919 Speaker 1: were you went through this one way with guys who 375 00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:12,800 Speaker 1: were yeah, it all works. So we just got to 376 00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:17,920 Speaker 1: be patient and uh, let's the system work itself out 377 00:21:17,960 --> 00:21:19,679 Speaker 1: and it is what it is and deal with it 378 00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:22,760 Speaker 1: and move on just like just play life, hopefully learn something. 379 00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:25,640 Speaker 1: I hope so well, let's take a quick break.

There's one guy, his name is 475 00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:45,399 Speaker 1: Khalil Mack, that has reeked havoc in the NFL, and 476 00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:49,720 Speaker 1: you know that you're playing you're starting offensive lineman because 477 00:26:49,760 --> 00:26:52,280 Speaker 1: you're starting quarterback, wouldn't be in the game with this 478 00:26:52,320 --> 00:26:56,240 Speaker 1: guy across from him. So just want to get into 479 00:26:56,480 --> 00:27:00,320 Speaker 1: this segment. What are we looking at? How many how 480 00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:03,720 Speaker 1: many series do you think the starters will play? And 481 00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:07,800 Speaker 1: then who are we looking at? This? This is the 482 00:27:08,119 --> 00:27:10,960 Speaker 1: what they call the dress rehearsal. This is where you 483 00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:13,720 Speaker 1: know your next game. You're probably sitting all your starters 484 00:27:13,760 --> 00:27:16,560 Speaker 1: because you've got your you know who your starters are, 485 00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:20,280 Speaker 1: and then you're looking at the younger guys to decide. 486 00:27:20,280 --> 00:27:23,080 Speaker 1: There's probably going to be maybe three or four spots 487 00:27:23,119 --> 00:27:25,080 Speaker 1: that they're trying to decide between a couple of guys, 488 00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:27,479 Speaker 1: So you want those guys to get reps. So what 489 00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:29,639 Speaker 1: are we looking at? Are we thinking we're going to 490 00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:32,159 Speaker 1: see a quarter to play out of our starters? You know, 491 00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:34,520 Speaker 1: a half? Will there be different groups that stay in 492 00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:37,560 Speaker 1: a little bit longer? And then what's what are you 493 00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:40,320 Speaker 1: looking from for the Raiders? Let me tell you something, 494 00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:45,879 Speaker 1: you know, I you know, maybe the Cowboy first unit offensively, 495 00:27:45,920 --> 00:27:48,240 Speaker 1: if they go on the field first, can drive like 496 00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:51,560 Speaker 1: they did on the Colts. Maybe they can Maybe they can't. 497 00:27:51,600 --> 00:27:54,880 Speaker 1: But you want to see what I left guard gonna 498 00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:59,920 Speaker 1: do versus their defensive line. Justin Ellis, Eddie Vander drolls 499 00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:05,160 Speaker 1: or dots whatever, Mario Edwards Junior. If these guys are 500 00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:08,160 Speaker 1: not hurt, which we don't go into the other team's 501 00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:10,600 Speaker 1: depth chart as much. A couple of these guys could 502 00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:13,480 Speaker 1: be hurt. But we know Khalil Matt isn't. He'll be 503 00:28:13,520 --> 00:28:16,320 Speaker 1: playing against our left and right tackles, so that that's 504 00:28:16,359 --> 00:28:21,640 Speaker 1: a good matchup. They're a pretty good defensive line versus 505 00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:24,320 Speaker 1: a pretty good offensive line. Let's see where it goes. 506 00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:28,000 Speaker 1: Let's see what our receivers can do, because they have 507 00:28:28,119 --> 00:28:31,280 Speaker 1: the ability to disrupt and not let you just drive 508 00:28:31,359 --> 00:28:34,640 Speaker 1: down the field ten or fifteen places. They have that ability. Now, 509 00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:37,600 Speaker 1: whether our team is clicking or not, we'll see. But 510 00:28:37,680 --> 00:28:40,600 Speaker 1: I do no offensive. I don't know if they're starting 511 00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:44,080 Speaker 1: quarterback at begin but their offense, they got a nice 512 00:28:44,080 --> 00:28:47,600 Speaker 1: little running game. They got some good offensive lineman. So 513 00:28:49,720 --> 00:28:52,600 Speaker 1: our defensive line get tested, you know, and we'll see 514 00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:56,160 Speaker 1: who how And I'm jumping a little head here. I 515 00:28:56,240 --> 00:28:58,440 Speaker 1: want to see how what's our rotation look like? And 516 00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:01,080 Speaker 1: I'm hoping we get to see the true guys that 517 00:29:01,120 --> 00:29:05,920 Speaker 1: are gonna be here doing the doing doing the year, 518 00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:09,200 Speaker 1: not too the guy that's suspended. I don't want. I 519 00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:10,800 Speaker 1: don't really want to see as much of them as 520 00:29:10,840 --> 00:29:13,320 Speaker 1: I want to see possibility, the guys that get in 521 00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:18,200 Speaker 1: with that second UNI or that second road line of rotation. Yeah, 522 00:29:18,280 --> 00:29:21,600 Speaker 1: I think that traditionally they've played the first half, it 523 00:29:21,680 --> 00:29:23,840 Speaker 1: seems like, and i'd like to see that again. I mean, 524 00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:27,280 Speaker 1: obviously if they're you know, you know, want Dack or 525 00:29:27,320 --> 00:29:30,280 Speaker 1: those guys get hurt. But I think they need to work, 526 00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:31,760 Speaker 1: and this is a team to get some good work 527 00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:34,680 Speaker 1: against because they are they're contender this year. Yeah, I think, 528 00:29:34,840 --> 00:29:37,400 Speaker 1: you know, both of these teams are expected to compete 529 00:29:37,400 --> 00:29:42,320 Speaker 1: for you know, the division title in the NFC in AFC, 530 00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:44,960 Speaker 1: And I think you'll be able to get a good sense. 531 00:29:45,040 --> 00:29:47,360 Speaker 1: You know, depends on if if car plays or not, 532 00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:49,800 Speaker 1: how much he plays on offense, but I definitely think 533 00:29:50,360 --> 00:29:52,600 Speaker 1: on the Cowboys offensive side of the ball, you'll definitely 534 00:29:52,800 --> 00:29:55,400 Speaker 1: going up against the defense like this, you'll be able 535 00:29:55,400 --> 00:29:57,960 Speaker 1: to tell, hey, what's this offense all about? You know, 536 00:29:58,800 --> 00:30:01,760 Speaker 1: is the offensive line as dominant as they've looked in camp? 537 00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:04,920 Speaker 1: And you know, the other preseason's game they played this, 538 00:30:04,920 --> 00:30:07,840 Speaker 1: this defensive line and these these linebackers for them are 539 00:30:07,840 --> 00:30:11,120 Speaker 1: no jokes. Can run, they can't even run. Uh. They 540 00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:15,440 Speaker 1: get great penetration uh led by Mac. I mean he's 541 00:30:15,480 --> 00:30:17,520 Speaker 1: a disruptor. I mean you can put him all over 542 00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:20,080 Speaker 1: the feed. He's a disrupt he's a playmaker. Better than 543 00:30:20,160 --> 00:30:23,920 Speaker 1: average corners, better than average safeties. Uh. Like I said, 544 00:30:24,160 --> 00:30:27,400 Speaker 1: I don't do the work during the regular season. I'll 545 00:30:27,720 --> 00:30:32,840 Speaker 1: I'll concentrate on the offensive defensive other teams. But doing preseason, 546 00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:36,240 Speaker 1: you know, you unless you have a great matchup. But 547 00:30:36,520 --> 00:30:40,320 Speaker 1: Max is gonna bring to our defensive offensive line. You 548 00:30:40,360 --> 00:30:43,360 Speaker 1: know this this is nice. I mean it's a game 549 00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:46,560 Speaker 1: that you know, I'm honkering to get to. I'm interested 550 00:30:46,600 --> 00:30:49,160 Speaker 1: to see how the secondary good does Looking at again 551 00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:52,400 Speaker 1: at their raiders offense. Something you've got Mary Cooper receiver, 552 00:30:52,520 --> 00:30:56,440 Speaker 1: Michael Crabtree, Derek Carr plays when they they got a 553 00:30:56,480 --> 00:31:00,720 Speaker 1: pretty Cordelle Patterson's got some speed or yeah, I mean 554 00:31:00,720 --> 00:31:03,120 Speaker 1: that could be a pretty tough matchup for the secondary. 555 00:31:03,120 --> 00:31:04,480 Speaker 1: And a lot of young guys back they're trying to 556 00:31:04,480 --> 00:31:07,360 Speaker 1: figure out their places. Where do they have Marshawn Lynch 557 00:31:07,760 --> 00:31:10,200 Speaker 1: listed he's their first stringer. I don't know if he'll 558 00:31:10,280 --> 00:31:12,680 Speaker 1: he'll see much action, but so they have him starting 559 00:31:12,680 --> 00:31:14,720 Speaker 1: for him and Jayn Richard if I remember right, he 560 00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:18,280 Speaker 1: wasn't that bad last year or so. It's a good team. 561 00:31:18,320 --> 00:31:22,400 Speaker 1: It's gonna be. They're gonna They're gonna challenge now. And 562 00:31:23,480 --> 00:31:29,400 Speaker 1: the thing about it is a coach is still judging players. 563 00:31:30,080 --> 00:31:32,160 Speaker 1: So you know, they're not gonna make a big issue 564 00:31:32,160 --> 00:31:34,840 Speaker 1: of it unless we just fall all over the place, 565 00:31:35,360 --> 00:31:38,720 Speaker 1: you know, with stink up the place is a better word, 566 00:31:39,160 --> 00:31:45,280 Speaker 1: you know. But I am so ready to see once 567 00:31:45,360 --> 00:31:48,280 Speaker 1: the first unit, I want to see who is coining 568 00:31:48,360 --> 00:31:51,880 Speaker 1: and first we know who the first offensive line is. 569 00:31:52,280 --> 00:31:55,760 Speaker 1: I want to see who they move to guard and tackle, 570 00:31:56,560 --> 00:31:59,280 Speaker 1: you know, because that that is basically what they probably 571 00:31:59,280 --> 00:32:02,000 Speaker 1: put these guys during the year. I want to see 572 00:32:02,040 --> 00:32:05,239 Speaker 1: who's the who's gonna get a lot of run at 573 00:32:05,280 --> 00:32:08,240 Speaker 1: the safeties and corners, any of these guys that we 574 00:32:08,360 --> 00:32:10,680 Speaker 1: have not seen that we thought we would see a 575 00:32:10,680 --> 00:32:13,920 Speaker 1: lot of, you know, for us, these rookies. I mean, 576 00:32:13,960 --> 00:32:16,720 Speaker 1: mister Lewis, I mean I'm guessing he's not gonna even play. 577 00:32:16,840 --> 00:32:22,040 Speaker 1: Jordan Lewis. I haven't heard anything, you know, so Woozier, 578 00:32:22,320 --> 00:32:26,360 Speaker 1: I mean, we don't know nothing about these guys nothing. 579 00:32:26,520 --> 00:32:29,600 Speaker 1: I mean coaches gonna have to rely on their ability 580 00:32:29,680 --> 00:32:32,440 Speaker 1: to really look at film because once you cut down 581 00:32:32,520 --> 00:32:35,200 Speaker 1: to the fifty three and we're talking about I mean, 582 00:32:35,280 --> 00:32:38,000 Speaker 1: we have all talked about how can you do it? 583 00:32:38,040 --> 00:32:40,960 Speaker 1: You know? Now Josh said he figured out the fifty 584 00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:45,160 Speaker 1: three guys, but you haven't seen fifty three guys that 585 00:32:45,320 --> 00:32:49,480 Speaker 1: gonna be on this team play. Wooziers. We've not seen 586 00:32:49,560 --> 00:32:52,520 Speaker 1: him play besides the first few games. Woods we got 587 00:32:52,560 --> 00:32:55,240 Speaker 1: a handful of plays out of him. Nothing from Jordan 588 00:32:55,360 --> 00:32:58,760 Speaker 1: Lewis Mark has White seen a little bit from him? Well, 589 00:32:58,760 --> 00:33:01,360 Speaker 1: we've seen this from the other guys. The guys have 590 00:33:01,520 --> 00:33:04,600 Speaker 1: had this one and two year guys, the McFaddens and 591 00:33:04,680 --> 00:33:08,760 Speaker 1: all of these guys, you know, the Cavon Fraziers. Well, 592 00:33:10,280 --> 00:33:13,479 Speaker 1: who do you trust as a coach? We gotta know 593 00:33:13,520 --> 00:33:18,600 Speaker 1: who is gonna be our second team defensive lineman because 594 00:33:18,760 --> 00:33:22,440 Speaker 1: we're gonna be missing two defensive ends. Do you feel 595 00:33:22,480 --> 00:33:25,040 Speaker 1: that Voard with extra defensive tackles or do you feel 596 00:33:25,040 --> 00:33:28,040 Speaker 1: that Voard with extra defensive events? So at this point 597 00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:30,160 Speaker 1: there's a lot of young guys that have been out, 598 00:33:30,200 --> 00:33:32,800 Speaker 1: that have missed games, that have missed practices. You you 599 00:33:32,880 --> 00:33:35,240 Speaker 1: really haven't got to evaluate a lot of them in 600 00:33:35,320 --> 00:33:38,720 Speaker 1: game situations. And at this point, if they don't get 601 00:33:38,760 --> 00:33:40,640 Speaker 1: out there for this game, even if you put them 602 00:33:40,640 --> 00:33:43,320 Speaker 1: in the next game, they're gonna be playing against second 603 00:33:43,360 --> 00:33:47,280 Speaker 1: third guys that don't won't even be on a practice squad, 604 00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:50,520 Speaker 1: you know, in a few weeks. How is a coach 605 00:33:50,680 --> 00:33:53,080 Speaker 1: do you evaluate? You know, especially the guys that you 606 00:33:53,120 --> 00:33:55,280 Speaker 1: took in middle to late rounds and guys that you 607 00:33:55,400 --> 00:33:57,640 Speaker 1: signed as free agents that you think have a lot 608 00:33:57,640 --> 00:33:59,840 Speaker 1: of potential but you really haven't seen anything out of 609 00:34:00,160 --> 00:34:02,920 Speaker 1: because they haven't been on the field against quality competition. 610 00:34:03,440 --> 00:34:06,560 Speaker 1: How do you do? You just have to go with trust, belief, 611 00:34:06,600 --> 00:34:11,160 Speaker 1: bro Just coaches and scouts are telling you and belief. 612 00:34:11,320 --> 00:34:14,279 Speaker 1: Like right now, you would think Woz probably has more 613 00:34:14,320 --> 00:34:18,719 Speaker 1: talent than McFadden as a cornerback, But man, do you 614 00:34:18,760 --> 00:34:21,439 Speaker 1: trust him. McFadden's done it. Yeah, he done it. Maybe 615 00:34:21,480 --> 00:34:23,359 Speaker 1: not have been great, but done it. Yeah. He knows 616 00:34:23,440 --> 00:34:26,440 Speaker 1: the scheme, he knows the speed of this game. He 617 00:34:26,640 --> 00:34:28,640 Speaker 1: doesn't I mean it's all new to him. I don't 618 00:34:28,680 --> 00:34:32,200 Speaker 1: see how you can trust you know, but you can 619 00:34:32,320 --> 00:34:35,840 Speaker 1: only keep fifty three, but you can't keep fifteen corners 620 00:34:35,840 --> 00:34:41,279 Speaker 1: in safety. So you have According to Josh All, he's 621 00:34:41,360 --> 00:34:43,920 Speaker 1: keeping his tight ends and and uh what else was 622 00:34:43,960 --> 00:34:46,560 Speaker 1: he keeping? Running backs and tight ends? You know? Seven? 623 00:34:46,960 --> 00:34:50,640 Speaker 1: You know, everybody's got you know, and then you face 624 00:34:50,719 --> 00:34:57,440 Speaker 1: another dilemma when when the Montre comeback, and another when 625 00:34:57,600 --> 00:35:01,560 Speaker 1: Irving comeback. That's what Josh was on. Yeah, he was saying, 626 00:35:01,600 --> 00:35:04,280 Speaker 1: I don't have to make big decisions until the people 627 00:35:04,280 --> 00:35:09,720 Speaker 1: who are suspended come back. So do you replace those 628 00:35:09,760 --> 00:35:15,120 Speaker 1: guys with extra dB or extra Lynman? How do you 629 00:35:15,160 --> 00:35:20,080 Speaker 1: do this? Uh? Our offensive line does not have depth. 630 00:35:22,280 --> 00:35:25,759 Speaker 1: You got six guys that can play, that you know, 631 00:35:25,880 --> 00:35:28,759 Speaker 1: can play, can flat out get it, get the job done. 632 00:35:28,760 --> 00:35:33,920 Speaker 1: You got five, six guys seven, eight, nine, only just 633 00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:37,799 Speaker 1: truly spot players. So where do you go with that situation? 634 00:35:38,080 --> 00:35:41,200 Speaker 1: Who's your six guy? We know who you got? You got? Okay, 635 00:35:41,280 --> 00:35:44,880 Speaker 1: let's who you want to start? Is it? Is it 636 00:35:44,880 --> 00:35:48,520 Speaker 1: gonna be Green or is it gonna be Cooper? Because 637 00:35:48,520 --> 00:35:53,000 Speaker 1: you got the right lead Lyle at the right, you 638 00:35:53,080 --> 00:35:55,759 Speaker 1: got the president at starting at the guard. You got 639 00:35:55,880 --> 00:35:59,040 Speaker 1: Jack Martin for us, you got Ben Franklin at the center. 640 00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:02,120 Speaker 1: You got, Now who do you want it to? Left guard? 641 00:36:02,280 --> 00:36:05,560 Speaker 1: Do you want Cooper or Green? Okay? And then you 642 00:36:05,640 --> 00:36:09,640 Speaker 1: got the mechanic at the left man he just got 643 00:36:09,680 --> 00:36:15,560 Speaker 1: the nicknames that there's your six's either Cooper or Green? Whoever? That? Yeah, 644 00:36:15,680 --> 00:36:20,880 Speaker 1: Now you gotta decide whether it's Kareem Edwards? Is that 645 00:36:21,360 --> 00:36:30,040 Speaker 1: saying that right? Is it? Uh? Brian Bell Byron Bell? Clearly? Clearly? 646 00:36:30,320 --> 00:36:34,000 Speaker 1: Ny those you you know, now loony Loony is is 647 00:36:34,120 --> 00:36:37,239 Speaker 1: kind of that six seventh guy, but you may keep 648 00:36:37,280 --> 00:36:44,120 Speaker 1: eight or nine. So it's kind of like that. Yeah, yeah, yeah, 649 00:36:44,160 --> 00:36:47,799 Speaker 1: So I mean but every team like that, I mean, 650 00:36:47,840 --> 00:36:49,520 Speaker 1: you're looking at an eighth or ninth lineman. I don't 651 00:36:49,560 --> 00:36:52,400 Speaker 1: think any I think the Cowboys might be in better shape. 652 00:36:52,560 --> 00:36:55,600 Speaker 1: They are great shape, too good, Like I was saving 653 00:36:55,640 --> 00:37:01,800 Speaker 1: too Will McClay. I say, we're in great shape, great shape, 654 00:37:02,640 --> 00:37:06,080 Speaker 1: unless we lose either the left tackle the center of guard. 655 00:37:06,520 --> 00:37:08,840 Speaker 1: Then we become like every of the offensive line in 656 00:37:08,840 --> 00:37:10,400 Speaker 1: the league. Got a whole right in the middle. We 657 00:37:10,480 --> 00:37:15,359 Speaker 1: got two guys that are good, too great, and three 658 00:37:15,440 --> 00:37:22,040 Speaker 1: guys that are average to below. You gotta hope chairs 659 00:37:22,360 --> 00:37:24,279 Speaker 1: can hold up this year and stay healthy because he 660 00:37:24,280 --> 00:37:25,920 Speaker 1: could solve a lot of problems if any of those 661 00:37:25,920 --> 00:37:29,359 Speaker 1: other guys get hurt. Yes, yes, And that's why I asked, 662 00:37:29,360 --> 00:37:34,399 Speaker 1: do you want Cooper starting and left guard? A lot 663 00:37:34,440 --> 00:37:36,719 Speaker 1: of a few people like Byron Bell at the Life 664 00:37:36,920 --> 00:37:42,520 Speaker 1: left guard, you know, because what if the mechanic wake up, 665 00:37:42,560 --> 00:37:45,399 Speaker 1: that's our left tackle wake up and say I'm tight 666 00:37:45,600 --> 00:37:49,480 Speaker 1: my back shade all right? Which happened? Yeah, that's Is 667 00:37:49,520 --> 00:37:52,279 Speaker 1: his back any better this year than last year or 668 00:37:52,400 --> 00:37:54,520 Speaker 1: is he now in a is his back in such 669 00:37:54,560 --> 00:37:58,000 Speaker 1: a condition that he'll be in maintenance mode the rest 670 00:37:58,000 --> 00:38:01,319 Speaker 1: of his Yeah, you just said it once. You have 671 00:38:02,200 --> 00:38:05,480 Speaker 1: a highly talented player that's proven like that, you know, 672 00:38:05,960 --> 00:38:08,880 Speaker 1: once he went into the last year, is he's always 673 00:38:08,920 --> 00:38:10,719 Speaker 1: even when even if he go to the next ten 674 00:38:10,800 --> 00:38:14,320 Speaker 1: years and never have another problem, he'll stay in maintenance mode, 675 00:38:14,400 --> 00:38:18,200 Speaker 1: just like Tony did. Remember, Yeah, but Tony had you 676 00:38:18,360 --> 00:38:20,239 Speaker 1: stay in maintenance mode, you never come out of that. 677 00:38:20,480 --> 00:38:23,600 Speaker 1: It's valuable taking better days off when you can, yeah, 678 00:38:23,640 --> 00:38:26,520 Speaker 1: and resting when you can. And because he barely finished 679 00:38:26,600 --> 00:38:28,480 Speaker 1: last year, yes he did. How do you how do 680 00:38:28,480 --> 00:38:30,920 Speaker 1: you let me ask you this? As far as tyring, 681 00:38:31,200 --> 00:38:34,359 Speaker 1: he's an offensive lineman, he's done it. He's proved hisself. He's, 682 00:38:34,760 --> 00:38:37,000 Speaker 1: if not the best, one of the best in the game. 683 00:38:37,719 --> 00:38:40,160 Speaker 1: Kind of like the conversation we had earlier about running back. 684 00:38:40,160 --> 00:38:42,520 Speaker 1: When you're running back, like Marshawn Lynch, he just jumps 685 00:38:42,520 --> 00:38:44,520 Speaker 1: back in the league after being out. He's ready to go. 686 00:38:44,640 --> 00:38:47,720 Speaker 1: He's the number one guy. Do you worry if Tyring 687 00:38:47,880 --> 00:38:50,399 Speaker 1: isn't that maintenance mode where he gets to where he's 688 00:38:50,440 --> 00:38:52,600 Speaker 1: like Tony and he only practices two days a week 689 00:38:52,600 --> 00:38:54,360 Speaker 1: and he takes the rest of the week off. Is 690 00:38:54,400 --> 00:38:57,680 Speaker 1: that a big deal for a guy that's established like him? 691 00:38:57,719 --> 00:39:01,959 Speaker 1: Can he do that? Or two days? That's how they practice? Really? Yeah? 692 00:39:03,080 --> 00:39:06,640 Speaker 1: Wednesday and Thursday? So yeah, I mean because Friday is 693 00:39:07,520 --> 00:39:11,920 Speaker 1: as you know, you know, just speed day basically, you know, 694 00:39:12,040 --> 00:39:14,279 Speaker 1: make sure you just break a sweat and keep going. 695 00:39:14,680 --> 00:39:19,000 Speaker 1: It's not really happening. He can't. I don't think he 696 00:39:19,040 --> 00:39:21,799 Speaker 1: can stop missing to Wednesday or Thursday. Those are key 697 00:39:21,880 --> 00:39:24,839 Speaker 1: days for Office Line. Those are days where you get 698 00:39:24,840 --> 00:39:27,799 Speaker 1: your new game plan, you affected, you put it into 699 00:39:27,800 --> 00:39:30,760 Speaker 1: effect and stuff. So it's a little different with Office Line. 700 00:39:30,800 --> 00:39:33,920 Speaker 1: But yet, and still that depends on how great as 701 00:39:33,960 --> 00:39:37,520 Speaker 1: shape he keeps his body. He seemed to being fit. Fitting. 702 00:39:37,560 --> 00:39:40,280 Speaker 1: He's a lot younger than Tony. You were talking about 703 00:39:40,280 --> 00:39:43,000 Speaker 1: that yesterday night. The guys who are after thirty, you 704 00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:46,400 Speaker 1: don't bounce back as quickly. Nah, But Tyran's what is 705 00:39:46,400 --> 00:39:48,640 Speaker 1: he twenty six? Ye? This position though, But I was 706 00:39:48,680 --> 00:39:51,120 Speaker 1: gonna say also, as much as Josh would like to 707 00:39:51,160 --> 00:39:53,840 Speaker 1: say that he's probably about the same weight as Tony 708 00:39:53,960 --> 00:39:56,160 Speaker 1: was when he was playing, he's got a lot more 709 00:39:56,200 --> 00:39:58,480 Speaker 1: weight on that frame, and he's taking a lot more 710 00:39:58,520 --> 00:40:01,319 Speaker 1: of a beating because he's getting high speed. Maybe not 711 00:40:01,400 --> 00:40:04,920 Speaker 1: high speed, but he's getting a major collision every single play. 712 00:40:05,040 --> 00:40:09,640 Speaker 1: And think about this. Catchers have bad backs and bad knees. 713 00:40:09,960 --> 00:40:12,520 Speaker 1: You're essentially a catcher with your posture on the field 714 00:40:12,600 --> 00:40:16,759 Speaker 1: every play you're crouching down, you know, for several seconds 715 00:40:16,840 --> 00:40:20,120 Speaker 1: per play? Does he does he play with Tommy Johnson? 716 00:40:21,680 --> 00:40:26,400 Speaker 1: Great question that should for the modern man. If we 717 00:40:26,440 --> 00:40:28,239 Speaker 1: get him back on the show, we'll ask him back 718 00:40:28,560 --> 00:40:30,720 Speaker 1: that way, we know we have to worry about sweating 719 00:40:30,719 --> 00:40:34,960 Speaker 1: and getting the wedge. Yes, that will be our parting gift. 720 00:40:35,000 --> 00:40:38,640 Speaker 1: We got guys lyned about the door. That's a great yeah, 721 00:40:38,680 --> 00:40:41,560 Speaker 1: I'm gonna yeah, So we'll get him some draws from Tommy. 722 00:40:41,960 --> 00:40:45,080 Speaker 1: Here's good baser coming on the show.

I've just been putting pushing forward ever since. 826 00:46:26,280 --> 00:46:28,600 Speaker 1: What position did you play in high school? You always 827 00:46:28,680 --> 00:46:31,319 Speaker 1: running back? Running back? And in high school I was 828 00:46:31,480 --> 00:46:33,560 Speaker 1: I was a safety, believing or not, I played defense too. 829 00:46:33,560 --> 00:46:36,320 Speaker 1: Believe you were a big safety. Yeah, yeah, I wasn't 830 00:46:36,360 --> 00:46:39,360 Speaker 1: that this big, but I was just tall. But I 831 00:46:39,360 --> 00:46:42,719 Speaker 1: can hit a little bit. Yeah, yeah, Ever wish you could, 832 00:46:43,160 --> 00:46:46,960 Speaker 1: man Like I joke around with with with with everybody 833 00:46:46,960 --> 00:46:49,320 Speaker 1: all the time and say, man, I'm really a defensive 834 00:46:49,320 --> 00:46:52,640 Speaker 1: player at heart. But you know, I had an opportunity 835 00:46:52,680 --> 00:46:55,440 Speaker 1: to play defensive in college. They wanted me to play linebacker, 836 00:46:55,480 --> 00:46:58,440 Speaker 1: but uh, really wasn't my speed? Um really more of 837 00:46:58,480 --> 00:47:00,799 Speaker 1: a it was like a secondary guy, I thought. But um, 838 00:47:01,160 --> 00:47:04,759 Speaker 1: I went back to running back around and oh yeah, 839 00:47:04,840 --> 00:47:09,239 Speaker 1: definitely definitely good choice. Last year, thirteen pounds heavy. I'll 840 00:47:09,280 --> 00:47:11,960 Speaker 1: watch you when y'all at training camp. Y'all going through 841 00:47:11,960 --> 00:47:15,239 Speaker 1: the dumbies, the ropes and all of these, and little man, 842 00:47:15,320 --> 00:47:18,120 Speaker 1: you actually do look quicker, to look smooth and your 843 00:47:18,160 --> 00:47:21,080 Speaker 1: your reads off your blocks or you're going with the 844 00:47:21,680 --> 00:47:23,759 Speaker 1: you know a lot of times like last year, you 845 00:47:23,840 --> 00:47:26,000 Speaker 1: kind of was stepping with the wrong foot, like everything 846 00:47:26,440 --> 00:47:28,719 Speaker 1: it's falling rat in place. And the reason I can 847 00:47:28,800 --> 00:47:31,319 Speaker 1: judge this so well is because I'm watching you with 848 00:47:31,480 --> 00:47:34,440 Speaker 1: the third team guys, where the holes are not as 849 00:47:34,600 --> 00:47:37,879 Speaker 1: nice as it is with the first second team guys. Man, 850 00:47:38,360 --> 00:47:43,560 Speaker 1: what what got you motivated to lose the thirteen pounds? Really? Um? 851 00:47:43,760 --> 00:47:46,000 Speaker 1: Just we had a conversation with the coaches and UM 852 00:47:46,120 --> 00:47:48,759 Speaker 1: told them, I feel like I'm I'm more of a 853 00:47:48,840 --> 00:47:52,160 Speaker 1: running back. Um, even though the fullback spot with its 854 00:47:52,160 --> 00:47:56,160 Speaker 1: giving me an opportunity to make the team, but I 855 00:47:56,160 --> 00:47:58,040 Speaker 1: feel like I could do more damage at running back, 856 00:47:58,080 --> 00:48:00,880 Speaker 1: and we roll with. They said they wanted me, they 857 00:48:00,920 --> 00:48:03,200 Speaker 1: was gonna move me back, and I haven't looked back since. 858 00:48:03,200 --> 00:48:05,680 Speaker 1: I've really been trying to put put put them all 859 00:48:05,719 --> 00:48:08,439 Speaker 1: out there and really get a real shot, real shot 860 00:48:08,440 --> 00:48:10,560 Speaker 1: at this this running back position. Since I've been in 861 00:48:10,600 --> 00:48:14,880 Speaker 1: the league, havn't really you know, had a fair share 862 00:48:14,920 --> 00:48:17,600 Speaker 1: of my opportunities, but um, I feel like I'm making 863 00:48:17,600 --> 00:48:20,120 Speaker 1: the best of them right now. Now I'm an only child, 864 00:48:20,760 --> 00:48:22,600 Speaker 1: So One, I don't know what it's like to have 865 00:48:22,640 --> 00:48:28,719 Speaker 1: a brother. Two, I cannot imagine if I did have 866 00:48:28,760 --> 00:48:32,000 Speaker 1: a brother, both of us playing in the NFL three 867 00:48:32,280 --> 00:48:36,960 Speaker 1: us being on the same team. How cool is that? 868 00:48:37,040 --> 00:48:38,680 Speaker 1: And I saw you, know, I was on the sideline 869 00:48:38,719 --> 00:48:40,319 Speaker 1: for the game, and I saw when you were out 870 00:48:40,360 --> 00:48:42,480 Speaker 1: there running and your brother y'all played for the first 871 00:48:42,480 --> 00:48:46,359 Speaker 1: time in a pro game last preseason game, seeing how 872 00:48:46,400 --> 00:48:49,120 Speaker 1: excited he was and him jumping around, and it was 873 00:48:49,200 --> 00:48:51,680 Speaker 1: almost like he was more excited for you than he 874 00:48:51,800 --> 00:48:54,000 Speaker 1: was to be playing in his first How how has 875 00:48:54,080 --> 00:48:59,040 Speaker 1: the last year been being with him here? Um to 876 00:48:59,560 --> 00:49:03,200 Speaker 1: for me, for I mean for us. Really, it's it's normal. 877 00:49:03,400 --> 00:49:06,719 Speaker 1: Like even when we was growing up, I would watch 878 00:49:06,760 --> 00:49:09,239 Speaker 1: his games and uh, he would watch my games. Or 879 00:49:09,560 --> 00:49:12,000 Speaker 1: in college, I watched his games like we was always 880 00:49:12,080 --> 00:49:15,440 Speaker 1: cheering for each other, room for each other. Um not 881 00:49:15,680 --> 00:49:18,759 Speaker 1: like now it's it's crazy, like you like you really 882 00:49:19,120 --> 00:49:22,439 Speaker 1: rarely have two brothers on the same team and and 883 00:49:22,719 --> 00:49:25,719 Speaker 1: doing well, doing well on the same team, So it's 884 00:49:25,760 --> 00:49:28,520 Speaker 1: it's it's crazy. It's still it's still like I wouldn't today, 885 00:49:28,560 --> 00:49:31,040 Speaker 1: I wouldn't have it any other way. But um, like 886 00:49:31,160 --> 00:49:33,680 Speaker 1: I say all the time, it's a dream come true 887 00:49:33,719 --> 00:49:35,759 Speaker 1: and a blessing to have my little brother on the 888 00:49:35,800 --> 00:49:38,200 Speaker 1: same team with me. Now I've heard you. Obviously you 889 00:49:38,280 --> 00:49:39,960 Speaker 1: and your brother get most of the attention.

I got one 1017 00:56:22,840 --> 00:56:26,279 Speaker 1: more football question, you don't mind me. I was I 1018 00:56:26,600 --> 00:56:29,960 Speaker 1: was concerned or thought that, you know, you played tailback 1019 00:56:30,200 --> 00:56:32,799 Speaker 1: to fullback and back to tailback, that maybe that year 1020 00:56:32,920 --> 00:56:36,120 Speaker 1: away from tailback might have hurt you. But Garrett made 1021 00:56:36,120 --> 00:56:37,719 Speaker 1: it down the other day like he thought it helped, 1022 00:56:37,760 --> 00:56:39,600 Speaker 1: that it gave you a better idea of the blocking 1023 00:56:39,640 --> 00:56:42,040 Speaker 1: and the schemes and the whole offense overall. I kind 1024 00:56:42,080 --> 00:56:44,759 Speaker 1: of understand that what the like who who the line 1025 00:56:44,880 --> 00:56:47,239 Speaker 1: lineman going up to now? And when we do have 1026 00:56:47,280 --> 00:56:49,640 Speaker 1: a fullback in the game, like what he's looking at. 1027 00:56:50,400 --> 00:56:54,239 Speaker 1: But um more, being being away from being a running 1028 00:56:54,239 --> 00:56:55,920 Speaker 1: back for a year, it kind of made me like hungry, 1029 00:56:56,160 --> 00:57:01,160 Speaker 1: um anxious. Um, I'm saying Phil Field always been being 1030 00:57:01,280 --> 00:57:04,440 Speaker 1: feeling underrated. So um, I'm just going out there just 1031 00:57:04,680 --> 00:57:07,160 Speaker 1: like I ain't. I ain't taking no chance. I'm letting 1032 00:57:07,160 --> 00:57:09,839 Speaker 1: everything out when I step on the field, no matter 1033 00:57:09,880 --> 00:57:12,320 Speaker 1: what position it is, Like I just want I'm just 1034 00:57:12,400 --> 00:57:14,239 Speaker 1: trying to prove prove that I belong in this league. 1035 00:57:14,360 --> 00:57:17,600 Speaker 1: If they're giving any any indication about Saturday when you 1036 00:57:17,680 --> 00:57:20,959 Speaker 1: might let you deserve more time with the twos at least. 1037 00:57:20,960 --> 00:57:22,880 Speaker 1: And I'd like to see behind the front first team 1038 00:57:22,920 --> 00:57:26,840 Speaker 1: line as well.
