1 00:00:03,480 --> 00:00:04,040 Speaker 1: The following. 2 00:00:04,080 --> 00:00:06,040 Speaker 2: He is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com and 3 00:00:06,080 --> 00:00:07,800 Speaker 2: the Dallas Cowboys Football Club. 4 00:00:09,920 --> 00:00:10,920 Speaker 1: Cowboys. 5 00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:17,720 Speaker 2: This is these Cowboys Storylines with Nick Eatman. 6 00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:25,200 Speaker 3: What is up at this time? For another edition of 7 00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:29,680 Speaker 3: Cowboys Storyline? I am Nick Eatman here at Oxnard, California. 8 00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:34,640 Speaker 3: My favorite producer of all time is here, Chris beam Man. 9 00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:40,240 Speaker 3: I owe him a big round of something. We are here. 10 00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:44,160 Speaker 3: We got big news. Malie Hooker is the big news, 11 00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:46,560 Speaker 3: and it was supposed to be because he's gonna join 12 00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:50,680 Speaker 3: the set. We did an interview with him, just to 13 00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:52,280 Speaker 3: tell you how it goes. We did an interview with 14 00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:56,600 Speaker 3: him already, and then of course news broke a little 15 00:00:56,600 --> 00:00:58,840 Speaker 3: bit after that. So now we're switching up a little bit. 16 00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:00,520 Speaker 3: We're gonna throw it to the interview later on in 17 00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:02,480 Speaker 3: the segment. We're gonna start though, right now, like we 18 00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:05,440 Speaker 3: do with every show, we start with storylines. You know, 19 00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:09,959 Speaker 3: I don't know why I never really played baseball, but 20 00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:12,479 Speaker 3: I think it's probably because I couldn't hit a curveball 21 00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:14,360 Speaker 3: very well. I might just want to, like right down 22 00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:16,840 Speaker 3: the middle, you know, don't do anything curves. And that's 23 00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:18,959 Speaker 3: what happens sometimes when our business gets thrown a little 24 00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:23,039 Speaker 3: curveball every now and again. Hopefully we can knock this 25 00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:26,399 Speaker 3: one out of the park. We'll see. But we're doing 26 00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:28,679 Speaker 3: this live. This is the first time that Cowboy storyline 27 00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:32,119 Speaker 3: has been live, so hopefully we'll be able to answer 28 00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:35,680 Speaker 3: some of your texts and when our new text line, 29 00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:38,600 Speaker 3: which is eight one seven two nine zero three two 30 00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:42,720 Speaker 3: nine eight eight one seven two nine zero three two 31 00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:43,720 Speaker 3: nine eight. 32 00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:46,840 Speaker 1: All right, let's get after it here. 33 00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:52,200 Speaker 3: Let's talk about Malik Hooker is in the process as 34 00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:55,600 Speaker 3: we speak of probably signing a three year extension worth 35 00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:59,080 Speaker 3: about twenty four million dollars, about sixteen million of that, 36 00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:03,640 Speaker 3: from my understanding, is guaranteed uh locks him up. Now, 37 00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:06,200 Speaker 3: this was supposed to be a contract year, which is 38 00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:08,280 Speaker 3: what I asked him about. So he did tell me 39 00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:09,760 Speaker 3: that it would have been nice he could have maybe 40 00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:12,200 Speaker 3: said a little bit more to it now, but this thing, 41 00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:13,880 Speaker 3: from what I hear, is really. 42 00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:14,560 Speaker 1: Just kind of popped up. 43 00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:17,520 Speaker 3: This is one of those deals where the agent cowboys 44 00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:19,920 Speaker 3: that say, hey, let's get this thing knocked out. And 45 00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:21,880 Speaker 3: this is good because this this locks up your your 46 00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:24,240 Speaker 3: secondary and your safety position. You got Donovan Wilson on 47 00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:26,760 Speaker 3: a three year deal now you got three more years 48 00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:31,840 Speaker 3: with with malle Cooker. Obviously Trayvon Diggs as well. You know, 49 00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:34,280 Speaker 3: we'll see where the you know, we're how long Gilmour 50 00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:38,239 Speaker 3: plays for and but still your You've got your secondary 51 00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:41,320 Speaker 3: that's in a really really good spot right now. So 52 00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:44,880 Speaker 3: I think this is this is a big deal for 53 00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:48,440 Speaker 3: you know, for the Cowboys. Obviously a big deal for 54 00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:51,520 Speaker 3: Mallie Cooker. So that's that's what we're looking at right 55 00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:55,560 Speaker 3: now for for the Cowboys. I would imagine he will 56 00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:59,600 Speaker 3: sign his contract later today and uh we probably will 57 00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:03,239 Speaker 3: get him, you know, on the podium for the media 58 00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:05,959 Speaker 3: to talk about him, I mean talking about his contract 59 00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:09,600 Speaker 3: here at some point in the next couple of days. 60 00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:10,480 Speaker 1: So MALIEK. 61 00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:13,600 Speaker 3: Cooker wasn't He wasn't the guy on my Bengo card 62 00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:16,600 Speaker 3: that I that I had for the next one to sign. 63 00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:19,600 Speaker 3: But I will say this, Isaiah Stampek is a witness 64 00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:23,440 Speaker 3: to this. I made a claim yesterday from two things 65 00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:26,600 Speaker 3: that I saw on the field, just body language from 66 00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:30,240 Speaker 3: different people. I said, in the next twenty four hours, 67 00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:33,639 Speaker 3: someone is signing a new contract. I did not have 68 00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:36,240 Speaker 3: it as MALIEK Cooker. So I don't know if that 69 00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:40,400 Speaker 3: even counts. But that's that's another guy that's not even 70 00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:43,760 Speaker 3: somebody that we fit, that we thought really was was gonna, 71 00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:45,800 Speaker 3: you know, be in the mix for a new deal. 72 00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:50,160 Speaker 3: But I liked that they did, and so let's let's 73 00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:52,840 Speaker 3: move on. Let's look at real quick safety position again. 74 00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:56,600 Speaker 3: Like we said right now, Donovan Wilson banged up, but 75 00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:58,320 Speaker 3: he did sign a three year deal. He's been out 76 00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:00,880 Speaker 3: in most of the training camp. Israel mcwah has been 77 00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:02,920 Speaker 3: out with a hamstring injury as well, So the two 78 00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:05,920 Speaker 3: of them banged up not not in the lineup, which 79 00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:09,200 Speaker 3: actually can be a good thing for others. Janie Thomas 80 00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:11,880 Speaker 3: has gotten a lot of reps, Tyler Coyle has gotten 81 00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:15,960 Speaker 3: some snaps in there. Of course, Malie Cooker as well. 82 00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:18,800 Speaker 3: So we're going to see obviously a lot more of 83 00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:21,280 Speaker 3: Malik first round draft pick from the Colts a few 84 00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:24,120 Speaker 3: years back. He's been dealing with injuries, but now this 85 00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:28,200 Speaker 3: is really his third season with the Cowboys, and clearly 86 00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:32,880 Speaker 3: they they are liking what they've what they're seeing out 87 00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:35,440 Speaker 3: of him, obviously to lock him up for three years. 88 00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:38,600 Speaker 3: All right, Again, if you want to send a text 89 00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:41,480 Speaker 3: on the text line, we are we are live. Here 90 00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:44,920 Speaker 3: eight one seven two nine zero three two nine eight. 91 00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:47,760 Speaker 3: We've gotten a lot of texts and some calls and 92 00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:52,719 Speaker 3: some emails tweets that we will read, uh. 93 00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:53,120 Speaker 1: And I'll answer. 94 00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:57,479 Speaker 3: For the third segment again, we've got an interview into 95 00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:00,560 Speaker 3: Can with Malik Cooker and he's going to have a 96 00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:04,520 Speaker 3: great poker face when it comes to asking about a 97 00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:07,880 Speaker 3: new contract because he didn't really talk about it, but 98 00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:09,760 Speaker 3: he talked about a lot of other cool stuff which 99 00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:13,520 Speaker 3: will we will discuss. Okay, more storylines really quick here. 100 00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:18,920 Speaker 3: Every day Zach Martin isn't here. It's another fifty thousand 101 00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:24,240 Speaker 3: dollars fine for him, and again I'm not too concerned 102 00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:27,280 Speaker 3: about it from his standpoint, other than losing fifty grand 103 00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:29,680 Speaker 3: a year, I guess I guess he's okay with that. 104 00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:31,960 Speaker 3: But I do think, you know, he should be staying 105 00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:35,440 Speaker 3: off his feet. It's probably staying in shape, and he 106 00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:38,440 Speaker 3: knows the offense well. He's a plug and play guy 107 00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:41,839 Speaker 3: without a doubt. So when he comes back, it'll be fine. 108 00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:45,240 Speaker 3: Maybe an hour of rust. He should be ready to 109 00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:46,680 Speaker 3: go as long as he's there for the giants. I 110 00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:49,839 Speaker 3: don't think anyone's too concerned, but you want a happy 111 00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:53,520 Speaker 3: Zach Martin. You want someone that is you know well, 112 00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:56,520 Speaker 3: and he's the ultimate professional. I don't think it's gonna 113 00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:59,800 Speaker 3: be a problem with him coming back. You hope that 114 00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:03,000 Speaker 3: this the situation has resolved to the point where he 115 00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:05,280 Speaker 3: could come in and do his job whenever whenever that is, 116 00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:09,280 Speaker 3: whenever that happens. In the meantime, Josh Ball has taken 117 00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:11,400 Speaker 3: a lot of snaps there and right a guard. I 118 00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:15,440 Speaker 3: think he looks pretty good. I was a little surprised, honestly, 119 00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:17,520 Speaker 3: that that he's that he's done there. I've always thought 120 00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:20,360 Speaker 3: he's a tackle, and that's mainly me stereotyping the fact. 121 00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:20,920 Speaker 1: That he's six eight. 122 00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:24,440 Speaker 3: If you're six eight, you're probably in the NBA, and 123 00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:26,960 Speaker 3: if not, if you're gonna play football, you're gonna be 124 00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:29,960 Speaker 3: at either the tackle spot or maybe defensive end. You know, 125 00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:33,159 Speaker 3: what are we talk about in the trenches? How do 126 00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:35,880 Speaker 3: you How do you get beat? It's the leverage and 127 00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:39,400 Speaker 3: when you're six eight, every defensive tackle is already lower 128 00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:42,559 Speaker 3: than you, so it's really tough to to to play 129 00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:45,359 Speaker 3: that position when you're that tall. That's the challenge I 130 00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:48,120 Speaker 3: think Josh Ball is going to be dealing with right 131 00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:51,800 Speaker 3: now and you know. I well, we'll see. I think 132 00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:55,920 Speaker 3: these are valuable reps that that he is getting, and 133 00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:58,320 Speaker 3: he'll be in there for the for the preseason. We 134 00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:01,280 Speaker 3: did see a question here about what the preseason offensive 135 00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:04,320 Speaker 3: line the starting five is gonna look like. That was 136 00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:08,840 Speaker 3: not the easiest question to answer, so I think, but 137 00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:10,480 Speaker 3: this is what we're talking about right now. This is 138 00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:13,200 Speaker 3: what happens in the preseason. You're not as worried about 139 00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:16,320 Speaker 3: the Zach Martin right now. Yes, chemistry is a thing 140 00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:18,920 Speaker 3: you'd like for him to kind of work with the guys. 141 00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:21,440 Speaker 3: But I think whenever he does come back, whenever that is, 142 00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:23,680 Speaker 3: I think that they're gonna be just fine. 143 00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:24,000 Speaker 1: All right. 144 00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:27,680 Speaker 3: Like I said, we've got the Cowboys text line. This 145 00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:30,520 Speaker 3: is I think the second day that we've had this 146 00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:34,280 Speaker 3: on the podcast. Cowboys Break used it yesterday, I know, 147 00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:37,160 Speaker 3: Talking Cowboys did some of the other shows as well. 148 00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:39,920 Speaker 3: I'll definitely be using when the season comes, when I'm 149 00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:43,560 Speaker 3: back at the Star, I'll definitely be using this for sure. 150 00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:46,480 Speaker 3: I'm using it now as well. In fact, we just 151 00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:49,600 Speaker 3: got one in. It looks like a two to one 152 00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:53,640 Speaker 3: five area code. The question is about the Hooker contract, 153 00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:55,760 Speaker 3: he said, with Hooker's deal and Dig's deal, as well 154 00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:58,840 Speaker 3: as getting Gilmour. It seems the team has done a 155 00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:02,880 Speaker 3: one point eighty when it comes to paying dbs since. 156 00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:05,920 Speaker 1: Carr Brandon Carr. 157 00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:08,280 Speaker 3: I don't know if it's been a one eighty. I 158 00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:13,880 Speaker 3: don't think that they've changed the mentality of corners and safeties. 159 00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:16,080 Speaker 3: I think it's the fact that they've got good ones 160 00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:18,800 Speaker 3: that they could you know, they can they can get 161 00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:21,360 Speaker 3: in here and pay. I mean this, this is a 162 00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:24,080 Speaker 3: team that moved up to the number sixth pick in 163 00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:28,320 Speaker 3: the draft and surprised everyone to go get more. Clayborne 164 00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:30,679 Speaker 3: didn't work out. 165 00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:31,880 Speaker 1: You know, Mo. 166 00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:37,920 Speaker 3: Wasn't I don't know was it as good as he 167 00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:39,959 Speaker 3: was in college? I mean as simple as that he's 168 00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:43,600 Speaker 3: confidence wasn't great for a corner you have to have that, uh, 169 00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:48,880 Speaker 3: you know, and and that he wasn't just a great player, 170 00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:51,600 Speaker 3: but as great as you would want your number six 171 00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:54,199 Speaker 3: pick to be. I don't think they've done a one 172 00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:57,760 Speaker 3: eighty honestly in paying them. I think they they really 173 00:08:57,840 --> 00:08:58,959 Speaker 3: like what Hooker can do. 174 00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:01,080 Speaker 1: Gil More. 175 00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:02,959 Speaker 3: I think where they they made the big change and 176 00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:04,600 Speaker 3: I kind of see where you're going. I think the 177 00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:08,040 Speaker 3: one eighty was going to get veteran guys and doing 178 00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:09,959 Speaker 3: what you need to do, whether it be a trade, 179 00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:14,520 Speaker 3: giving up draft capital to go get a Gilmore, go 180 00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:18,880 Speaker 3: get Brandon Cooks. That to me was the biggest change. 181 00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:21,839 Speaker 3: They love to pick players, they love draft picks. To 182 00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:23,280 Speaker 3: give draft picks up. 183 00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:24,720 Speaker 1: Is not the easiest thing. 184 00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:27,640 Speaker 3: Even though they did it and they got a couple 185 00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:30,840 Speaker 3: of veterans. I think that the mindset is always to 186 00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:34,360 Speaker 3: keep the corners in safeties and have a great secondary. 187 00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:38,040 Speaker 3: I just think they've got better ones than they've had 188 00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:40,360 Speaker 3: in the past. That's that's that's kind of what I 189 00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:42,600 Speaker 3: think here, So bear with me. I'm trying to see 190 00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:49,959 Speaker 3: if we've got any more questions about this, not really 191 00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:55,240 Speaker 3: about so far that about the Molley Cooker Hooker deal, uh, 192 00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:58,200 Speaker 3: some of these others though. We'll definitely take care in 193 00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:00,520 Speaker 3: the in the third segment here. So all right, we're 194 00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:04,000 Speaker 3: gonna move on and we're gonna take a break again. Remember, 195 00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:06,680 Speaker 3: we interviewed Malik Cooker earlier in the day. The show 196 00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:09,319 Speaker 3: was supposed to go out a little earlier. We interviewed him, 197 00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:11,719 Speaker 3: so he's got a night. He talks about a lot 198 00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:14,520 Speaker 3: of things at that moment. He really could not speak 199 00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:18,319 Speaker 3: at all to the contract signing, so that it won't 200 00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:22,640 Speaker 3: be included in this, but we will will definitely talk 201 00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:24,960 Speaker 3: with him.

I've seen 652 00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:56,840 Speaker 3: actually less than that. The cap space thing, to me, 653 00:28:57,000 --> 00:28:59,840 Speaker 3: I never really talk about cap space. I never try 654 00:28:59,880 --> 00:29:03,080 Speaker 3: to answer that question because it's so fluid. It's they 655 00:29:03,120 --> 00:29:06,240 Speaker 3: can do whatever they want to do. If they wanted 656 00:29:06,280 --> 00:29:09,680 Speaker 3: to sign CD and DAK, they can do it. They 657 00:29:09,680 --> 00:29:12,360 Speaker 3: can do it right now. It's all about moving money 658 00:29:12,360 --> 00:29:15,200 Speaker 3: around there. You got to be creative. That's kind of 659 00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:19,080 Speaker 3: what they do. So it's a relevant to kind of 660 00:29:19,120 --> 00:29:21,160 Speaker 3: say they have this much left or this much. 661 00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:23,200 Speaker 1: There's not a guy out there that they. 662 00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:25,840 Speaker 3: Couldn't sign because of the cap They can do what 663 00:29:26,240 --> 00:29:30,080 Speaker 3: they want, So now is it the smartest thing to do? No, 664 00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:32,360 Speaker 3: they got to be you got to be smart about it. 665 00:29:32,440 --> 00:29:36,520 Speaker 3: But at the same time, they really don't. You know, 666 00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:38,560 Speaker 3: it doesn't work that way. They can do what they 667 00:29:38,560 --> 00:29:40,480 Speaker 3: need to do. All right, let's go to some more questions. 668 00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:43,080 Speaker 3: I think we were done here with Malie Cooker. We 669 00:29:43,120 --> 00:29:45,040 Speaker 3: know what we've got here. Let's move on to some 670 00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:49,400 Speaker 3: of the other ones. How about Jose Rodriguez. I feel 671 00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:51,400 Speaker 3: Will Greer is having a great camp and has made 672 00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:54,360 Speaker 3: some really nice plays. Do you think he can overtake 673 00:29:54,600 --> 00:29:56,240 Speaker 3: Cooper Rush for quarterback two? 674 00:29:58,560 --> 00:30:02,440 Speaker 1: Could he? Yeah? He probably could. Are they gonna be 675 00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:03,720 Speaker 1: comfortable with that? Not sure? 676 00:30:03,760 --> 00:30:06,760 Speaker 3: You know, when you win games for a coach, especially 677 00:30:06,880 --> 00:30:09,160 Speaker 3: the way that Cooper Rush has done the last two years, 678 00:30:10,640 --> 00:30:13,120 Speaker 3: who's to say that that Will Greer is going to 679 00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:15,280 Speaker 3: come in and do that. I think he gives you 680 00:30:15,280 --> 00:30:19,520 Speaker 3: a little bit more versatility. Obviously he's more mobile. I 681 00:30:19,600 --> 00:30:24,520 Speaker 3: could run around, you know, throwing the ball's I think 682 00:30:24,520 --> 00:30:26,200 Speaker 3: he's got a stronger arm. I don't know if it's 683 00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:29,520 Speaker 3: as accurate. So, but you know, Cooper Rush has won game. 684 00:30:29,640 --> 00:30:32,360 Speaker 3: So it's what could happen is is they could give 685 00:30:32,440 --> 00:30:35,080 Speaker 3: Will Greer a little bit more time in the preseason 686 00:30:35,120 --> 00:30:37,280 Speaker 3: maybe he starts a whole game, maybe he gets to 687 00:30:37,280 --> 00:30:39,880 Speaker 3: play some just to kind of give him that opportunity. 688 00:30:40,040 --> 00:30:42,720 Speaker 3: As the stands right now, I would I would stick 689 00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:46,880 Speaker 3: with Cooper Rush, but it's pretty close to the point 690 00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:49,320 Speaker 3: where maybe you know, Will Gear will get a shot here. 691 00:30:49,560 --> 00:30:53,320 Speaker 3: All right, Jason from Atlanta, how come we never talk 692 00:30:53,360 --> 00:30:56,560 Speaker 3: about Tyron Smith going to guard and Tyler Smith going 693 00:30:56,560 --> 00:30:58,920 Speaker 3: to left tackle. We had Jason Peters move to guard 694 00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:04,400 Speaker 3: last year? The question was from Jason from Atlanta and 695 00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:07,520 Speaker 3: has includes Jason Peters. Just so you know, Jason Peters 696 00:31:07,560 --> 00:31:09,960 Speaker 3: is actually from Atlanta, Texas. I don't think he's the 697 00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:13,360 Speaker 3: one that sent this question, but I'm all about irony here. 698 00:31:13,960 --> 00:31:19,040 Speaker 3: Tyron Smith at guard, No, No, he's played tackle his 699 00:31:19,120 --> 00:31:22,960 Speaker 3: whole career. As much as it sounds weird, it's a 700 00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:25,640 Speaker 3: lot faster inside. The players will say all the time. 701 00:31:25,680 --> 00:31:28,960 Speaker 3: So he's more of a declining player. We know that 702 00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:31,320 Speaker 3: that's what happens when you get to his age. I 703 00:31:31,360 --> 00:31:34,040 Speaker 3: think being on the outside, being able to get his strength, 704 00:31:34,080 --> 00:31:37,680 Speaker 3: get his arms out there and keep the rushers at 705 00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:41,080 Speaker 3: a distance, I think that's probably better for him. He's 706 00:31:41,120 --> 00:31:43,760 Speaker 3: never really played guard. I don't see this being the 707 00:31:43,800 --> 00:31:46,840 Speaker 3: time to change it. Tyler Smith moves back and forth 708 00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:49,440 Speaker 3: as well as anybody. I don't think you change anything there, 709 00:31:49,480 --> 00:31:51,880 Speaker 3: all right, Terry Andrews faithful North Carolina. 710 00:31:51,920 --> 00:31:53,520 Speaker 1: How many running backs will they keep? 711 00:31:54,160 --> 00:31:56,920 Speaker 3: And will Douce fit into those plans? If he makes it, 712 00:31:56,960 --> 00:32:01,200 Speaker 3: does it knock out Malik Davis, Rico Daddell, Ronald Jones. 713 00:32:02,200 --> 00:32:03,560 Speaker 3: I think Deuce is gonna make the team. 714 00:32:03,680 --> 00:32:04,200 Speaker 1: I do. 715 00:32:04,280 --> 00:32:06,360 Speaker 3: I just think that there's he's too dynamic of a 716 00:32:06,400 --> 00:32:08,920 Speaker 3: player in college to at least not try to see 717 00:32:09,200 --> 00:32:11,640 Speaker 3: what he can give you. How many running backs do 718 00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:15,200 Speaker 3: they keep? You know, it could be for if if 719 00:32:15,360 --> 00:32:19,560 Speaker 3: those guys do different things, if if if a if 720 00:32:19,600 --> 00:32:22,760 Speaker 3: Malik Davis can play a lot on special teams, or 721 00:32:23,120 --> 00:32:25,200 Speaker 3: you know what does Ronald Jones do when he comes 722 00:32:25,240 --> 00:32:28,920 Speaker 3: back from the suspension. You know Rico daddle same too. 723 00:32:28,960 --> 00:32:31,360 Speaker 3: It's got to be special special teams. It's got to 724 00:32:31,440 --> 00:32:33,960 Speaker 3: be maybe a Hunter lifkey that could play some fullback 725 00:32:34,800 --> 00:32:38,120 Speaker 3: or deuced with kick returns. You know you have Tony Pollard. 726 00:32:38,440 --> 00:32:41,280 Speaker 3: I think you're gonna have a solid backup there, probably 727 00:32:41,320 --> 00:32:44,720 Speaker 3: Malik Jones, I mean Leake Davis, uh, maybe Ronald Jones. 728 00:32:44,760 --> 00:32:46,760 Speaker 3: So it's still early there, and there's a lot of 729 00:32:46,800 --> 00:32:50,600 Speaker 3: things that can kind of happen in the preseason games 730 00:32:50,600 --> 00:32:53,040 Speaker 3: as well. All right, another from the text line, this 731 00:32:53,160 --> 00:32:55,120 Speaker 3: is just from a seven to one to three number, 732 00:32:55,160 --> 00:33:00,080 Speaker 3: who has the lead in the kicking competition. No Bud, Brandon, Aubrey, 733 00:33:01,280 --> 00:33:04,000 Speaker 3: Tristan Viscay. You know, they seem to mirror each other 734 00:33:04,040 --> 00:33:06,200 Speaker 3: in practice. If he goes four for six, I go 735 00:33:06,240 --> 00:33:07,840 Speaker 3: four for six. If he goes two for three, I 736 00:33:07,920 --> 00:33:10,320 Speaker 3: go two for three. So they're about the same right now. 737 00:33:10,360 --> 00:33:11,760 Speaker 3: And then one of them has a bad kick, the 738 00:33:11,760 --> 00:33:14,520 Speaker 3: other one has a bad kick advice versa. So that's 739 00:33:14,600 --> 00:33:16,440 Speaker 3: kind of where it stands right now, and nothing's really 740 00:33:16,480 --> 00:33:18,680 Speaker 3: gonna happen until we get to the games, and then 741 00:33:18,720 --> 00:33:21,800 Speaker 3: from there then it's not just these preseason games. It's 742 00:33:21,840 --> 00:33:24,600 Speaker 3: all the preseason games, because everybody's got a couple of 743 00:33:24,680 --> 00:33:27,680 Speaker 3: kickers and you're gonna be evaluating them as well. So 744 00:33:28,040 --> 00:33:30,520 Speaker 3: there could be some Pro Bowl kickers out there that 745 00:33:30,640 --> 00:33:33,160 Speaker 3: have backups that are, you know, just trying to help 746 00:33:33,200 --> 00:33:36,400 Speaker 3: them with save their leg and next thing, you know, 747 00:33:36,440 --> 00:33:39,080 Speaker 3: they went six for seven or six for six in 748 00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:41,760 Speaker 3: the preseason and they may be a better option than 749 00:33:41,800 --> 00:33:44,200 Speaker 3: what you've got, so every kicker that doesn't make the 750 00:33:44,280 --> 00:33:47,360 Speaker 3: roster's gonna be evaluated here. That's what's gonna make it. 751 00:33:47,440 --> 00:33:47,640 Speaker 1: You know. 752 00:33:47,840 --> 00:33:50,479 Speaker 3: That's what's gonna be tough for Will McLay and his staff, 753 00:33:50,480 --> 00:33:52,760 Speaker 3: But that's that's the nature of the businesses. There's a 754 00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:54,120 Speaker 3: lot of guys out there, and it's not like you 755 00:33:54,160 --> 00:33:55,560 Speaker 3: have to know the system. You come in and you 756 00:33:55,600 --> 00:33:59,200 Speaker 3: can kick. If you can kick, you can kick. Odell Campbell, Junior, 757 00:33:59,280 --> 00:34:02,680 Speaker 3: rock Hill, South Carolina. His question, we haven't heard much 758 00:34:02,680 --> 00:34:05,360 Speaker 3: from Overshown. Do you think he's a game day guy 759 00:34:06,200 --> 00:34:10,439 Speaker 3: or rather than a practice guy. Well, I think most 760 00:34:10,480 --> 00:34:12,920 Speaker 3: linebackers are probably better in the games than they are 761 00:34:12,920 --> 00:34:14,440 Speaker 3: at practice because you're not going to go out there 762 00:34:14,520 --> 00:34:16,920 Speaker 3: just knocking people's heads off. I also think he's trying 763 00:34:16,960 --> 00:34:19,799 Speaker 3: to figure things out. He's playing a lot of different positions. 764 00:34:20,600 --> 00:34:23,160 Speaker 3: The light bulb maybe hasn't come on just yet for 765 00:34:24,360 --> 00:34:27,280 Speaker 3: de Marvin Overshown, but I do think that it will, 766 00:34:27,360 --> 00:34:28,920 Speaker 3: and I think dan Quinn's going to put a lot 767 00:34:28,960 --> 00:34:31,759 Speaker 3: on his plate. But also, yeah, the games is where 768 00:34:31,760 --> 00:34:33,440 Speaker 3: you're going to see a guy flash and really make 769 00:34:33,480 --> 00:34:36,200 Speaker 3: a play. We haven't really seen that from him yet. 770 00:34:36,280 --> 00:34:36,640 Speaker 5: All right. 771 00:34:36,920 --> 00:34:39,879 Speaker 3: I talked about this earlier in the show Cowboys See 772 00:34:39,880 --> 00:34:43,319 Speaker 3: from Pitsacola, Florida. Who's the starting five linemen in the 773 00:34:43,360 --> 00:34:46,040 Speaker 3: first preseason game and who you are you going to 774 00:34:46,120 --> 00:34:49,279 Speaker 3: watch closely? That's a good question, Matt, because you know it. 775 00:34:49,280 --> 00:34:51,279 Speaker 3: It's not gonna be Tyron Smith. You know it's not 776 00:34:51,320 --> 00:34:58,480 Speaker 3: gonna be Zach Martin. And be honest, maybe I wouldn't 777 00:34:58,480 --> 00:35:02,239 Speaker 3: think so though. Only Tyler Smith I could see it 778 00:35:02,320 --> 00:35:05,920 Speaker 3: because he hasn't played a lot of left guard and 779 00:35:06,120 --> 00:35:08,600 Speaker 3: get him some some reps in the game would be good. 780 00:35:08,640 --> 00:35:08,799 Speaker 9: Now. 781 00:35:08,800 --> 00:35:10,760 Speaker 3: He did it in preseason last year, if you remember, 782 00:35:10,760 --> 00:35:13,279 Speaker 3: because Tyron didn't get hurt till we got back to 783 00:35:13,280 --> 00:35:16,920 Speaker 3: to Frisco. So he's done it in the games. I 784 00:35:16,920 --> 00:35:19,520 Speaker 3: can see him doing a little bit there. I'm gonna say, well, 785 00:35:19,560 --> 00:35:21,719 Speaker 3: let's go. We'll be in there at left tackle. I'm 786 00:35:21,719 --> 00:35:24,799 Speaker 3: just gonna say Tyler Smith for now, Farnioc at center, 787 00:35:24,880 --> 00:35:30,000 Speaker 3: Josh Ball right guard, Truma Edoga at right tackle. That's 788 00:35:30,040 --> 00:35:33,439 Speaker 3: what would be my starting five and the offensive line 789 00:35:33,440 --> 00:35:37,080 Speaker 3: if we had to do it right now. All right, Uh, 790 00:35:37,200 --> 00:35:41,920 Speaker 3: let's go to some other questions here. How about William 791 00:35:41,960 --> 00:35:46,040 Speaker 3: Houchins it's my man, William Houchins. Uh, he's he had 792 00:35:46,080 --> 00:35:48,800 Speaker 3: asked Malik Hooker this question. We couldn't we couldn't get 793 00:35:49,080 --> 00:35:52,319 Speaker 3: this question to him. How's the scheme gonna allow you 794 00:35:52,360 --> 00:35:54,480 Speaker 3: to be the best play that we knew you would be, 795 00:35:55,280 --> 00:35:57,160 Speaker 3: to be the type of player you know, we all 796 00:35:57,239 --> 00:36:00,560 Speaker 3: thought from you. And I think this type of if 797 00:36:00,600 --> 00:36:03,719 Speaker 3: you go back and look at dan Quinn in. 798 00:36:03,760 --> 00:36:07,280 Speaker 1: Seattle, Legion of boom Right. 799 00:36:08,400 --> 00:36:15,040 Speaker 3: The Earl, Thomas Chancellor, Richard Sherman, these corners, I mean, 800 00:36:15,080 --> 00:36:17,759 Speaker 3: they they the secondary was great, But to me, it 801 00:36:17,840 --> 00:36:18,920 Speaker 3: was the pass rush. 802 00:36:19,120 --> 00:36:20,320 Speaker 1: It was it was a. 803 00:36:20,160 --> 00:36:23,680 Speaker 3: Constant rotation of guys that could really just go and fly, 804 00:36:24,360 --> 00:36:26,319 Speaker 3: uh you know, fly around the ball and get to 805 00:36:26,360 --> 00:36:28,839 Speaker 3: the quarterback. And I think that's what dan Quinn's trying 806 00:36:28,840 --> 00:36:31,879 Speaker 3: to create here. Obviously you got Michael Parsons, you got Tank, 807 00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:34,759 Speaker 3: you got Dorn Armstrong, yet Sam Williams, you got you 808 00:36:34,840 --> 00:36:37,759 Speaker 3: got these rusher Dante Fowler. And I think when they 809 00:36:38,080 --> 00:36:40,879 Speaker 3: get that and they do that the way that he 810 00:36:40,960 --> 00:36:45,560 Speaker 3: did it in Seattle, that will create a secondary like 811 00:36:45,640 --> 00:36:48,560 Speaker 3: he had then. And that's where guys can just play 812 00:36:48,600 --> 00:36:50,799 Speaker 3: center field like you talk about, just go make the 813 00:36:50,840 --> 00:36:54,200 Speaker 3: play Malie Cooker and Jayron Curson, Dom and Wilson, then 814 00:36:54,239 --> 00:36:56,440 Speaker 3: of course your corners there and gil Moore and Diggs 815 00:36:56,480 --> 00:36:59,719 Speaker 3: and and Bland. To me, it still starts with the 816 00:36:59,719 --> 00:37:03,480 Speaker 3: past rush. That's why I think that Malik Hookers has 817 00:37:03,520 --> 00:37:06,239 Speaker 3: a chance to really to be great. And that's why 818 00:37:06,280 --> 00:37:09,759 Speaker 3: I think it's smart for him to sign, because, yeah, 819 00:37:09,800 --> 00:37:12,640 Speaker 3: the money is good, it's fair, and are you gonna 820 00:37:12,640 --> 00:37:14,799 Speaker 3: go to another team that has a pass rushing you know, 821 00:37:14,920 --> 00:37:16,920 Speaker 3: a pass rusher like this and a coordinator like this, 822 00:37:17,320 --> 00:37:20,160 Speaker 3: I don't know. So it seems like it's a smart 823 00:37:20,200 --> 00:37:23,000 Speaker 3: move for him and he was able, uh to do 824 00:37:23,080 --> 00:37:25,160 Speaker 3: it and knock it out. So that is the news 825 00:37:25,200 --> 00:37:30,080 Speaker 3: of the day is Malik Hooker is agreed to a 826 00:37:30,120 --> 00:37:34,120 Speaker 3: deal as we stand here on Friday afternoon from Auxnard. 827 00:37:34,160 --> 00:37:36,160 Speaker 3: I'm not sure it's officially been signed. It may not 828 00:37:36,200 --> 00:37:38,520 Speaker 3: even be turned into the league, but it looks like 829 00:37:38,600 --> 00:37:40,920 Speaker 3: he has agreed to a three year extension. He'll be 830 00:37:40,960 --> 00:37:45,399 Speaker 3: with the Cowboys for the next four seasons now. And 831 00:37:46,360 --> 00:37:49,120 Speaker 3: what a great move for him and the entire secondary 832 00:37:49,320 --> 00:37:51,520 Speaker 3: when you think about what they did with Don and 833 00:37:51,560 --> 00:37:54,960 Speaker 3: Wilson in the offseason and going to get Gilmore and 834 00:37:55,000 --> 00:37:58,280 Speaker 3: then signing Trayvon Diggs. Since we've been out here really 835 00:37:58,400 --> 00:38:03,000 Speaker 3: shoring up that secondary for the Cowboys. All right, well 836 00:38:03,080 --> 00:38:05,040 Speaker 3: that's all we have time for today. A lot of 837 00:38:05,040 --> 00:38:08,160 Speaker 3: great questions.
