Like I've said all along, this 21 00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:04,040 Speaker 1: will be a fans show. I just want to I 22 00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:07,000 Speaker 1: want to hear from you and in some form or fashion, 23 00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:11,520 Speaker 1: whether it be tweets or texts or the calls as 24 00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:14,720 Speaker 1: we always do. Let's go through some storylines, and the 25 00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:18,520 Speaker 1: big one here since our last show was was Sam 26 00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:22,000 Speaker 1: Williams and trying to see exactly what's going to happen 27 00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:25,200 Speaker 1: with him with his arrest the other day. I thought 28 00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:28,040 Speaker 1: Jerry Jones, Uh, he says he wasn't going to speak 29 00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:31,240 Speaker 1: about since it's a legal matter, and then he did 30 00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:33,160 Speaker 1: and then he talked a little bit about it. But 31 00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:35,040 Speaker 1: more than anything, what what the fans really want to 32 00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:38,280 Speaker 1: know is, you know, whether you're getting fined whatever is 33 00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:41,160 Speaker 1: are you going to play? Are you going to miss time? 34 00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:44,440 Speaker 1: And then that that's the key. And Jerry said he 35 00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:47,120 Speaker 1: did have all the facts and he said that he 36 00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:51,280 Speaker 1: did not anticipate him being affected on the field. So 37 00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:54,680 Speaker 1: and you know, if if it does happen, it's probably 38 00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:58,400 Speaker 1: not going to be anytime soon. We were just chatting 39 00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:01,440 Speaker 1: about it just a second ago. I mean, Kelvin Joseph, 40 00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:03,320 Speaker 1: we all know what happened with him off the field 41 00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:08,760 Speaker 1: two off seasons ago and never missed any time and 42 00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:12,160 Speaker 1: that was a lot worse obviously than what what it 43 00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:14,760 Speaker 1: is with Sam Williams. So, uh, the NFL kind of 44 00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:17,080 Speaker 1: I wouldn't say takes their time, but but you know, 45 00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:21,000 Speaker 1: they they have to be thorough in in their investigation 46 00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:23,600 Speaker 1: of everything. And uh, we'll see, we'll see what what 47 00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:27,239 Speaker 1: happens if Sam does miss any any time or suspended 48 00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:30,519 Speaker 1: or any kind of disciplinary action. But as it stands 49 00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:34,760 Speaker 1: right now, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones does not think that 50 00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:39,240 Speaker 1: there's going to be any time missed on the field 51 00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:42,720 Speaker 1: for Sam Williams. Uh Me personally, I've been asked about 52 00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:47,079 Speaker 1: it a little bit. I you know, he's a guy 53 00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:50,560 Speaker 1: you want to root for. He's obviously had some some 54 00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:53,480 Speaker 1: issues in his in his past and and just just 55 00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:57,600 Speaker 1: his his upbringing. And I hear he is second year 56 00:02:57,600 --> 00:02:59,639 Speaker 1: in the league. He's got some money. You know, he's 57 00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:02,080 Speaker 1: got got fast cars, He's got all that stuff. He's 58 00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:04,480 Speaker 1: not This is not new, this is this is what happens. 59 00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:07,360 Speaker 1: This is what players either that they get this moment 60 00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:08,920 Speaker 1: in their career and they got to figure out how 61 00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:12,800 Speaker 1: to have balance, uh, in his life. I think the 62 00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:15,400 Speaker 1: Cowboys are surrounding him with a really good support system. 63 00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:19,560 Speaker 1: They're going to continue to work with him and and 64 00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:21,799 Speaker 1: and yes this does matter. He is a really good 65 00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:24,720 Speaker 1: football player and he's got a good upside, which is 66 00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:27,600 Speaker 1: why you deal with with the things you deal with 67 00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:32,000 Speaker 1: one of the greatest players in the history of the Cowboys, 68 00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:36,880 Speaker 1: Michael Irvin. He had things off the field that's been 69 00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:40,520 Speaker 1: well documented. He was the hardest worker on the field. 70 00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:43,600 Speaker 1: He was one of the best players in the league. 71 00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:48,480 Speaker 1: And whether it's right or wrong, this is what happens. 72 00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:50,280 Speaker 1: And you and you put up with a little bit 73 00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:52,600 Speaker 1: more things for guys that are good players, that that 74 00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:54,480 Speaker 1: you think they can kind of turn the corner. And 75 00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:58,360 Speaker 1: I know the Cowboys feel that way about Sam Williams again, 76 00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:00,839 Speaker 1: phone line one eight eight eight five five two two 77 00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:03,360 Speaker 1: nine seven. I want to hear from you. Guys. Got 78 00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:06,400 Speaker 1: a lot of texts in here. We'll go to the 79 00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:09,040 Speaker 1: text line here pretty soon. That's pretty much it for 80 00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:11,720 Speaker 1: the storylines. But obviously there's a game this week Cowboys 81 00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:16,240 Speaker 1: and play the Raiders. That last Vegas Raiders just doesn't 82 00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:19,480 Speaker 1: sound right. Maybe it doesn't sound because we haven't been there. 83 00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:23,960 Speaker 1: We haven't played a game in Vegas yet. I'm not 84 00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:26,200 Speaker 1: sure that that would be a fun trip or not 85 00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:30,359 Speaker 1: to go to Vegas. And I say that just because 86 00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:33,160 Speaker 1: you know, you don't play by the same rules when 87 00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:35,920 Speaker 1: you go to an NFL event and go to Vegas 88 00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:39,360 Speaker 1: as just three buddies might go or you know, it's 89 00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:42,200 Speaker 1: not like the Hangover four or anything like that going 90 00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:45,200 Speaker 1: into Vegas. But the game's gonna be here, gonna be 91 00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:48,040 Speaker 1: fun to see. Just one more, one more preseason game, 92 00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:51,080 Speaker 1: get it out of the way. But but there are 93 00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:54,000 Speaker 1: some some guys out there that this is big for them. 94 00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:57,120 Speaker 1: I will never You'll never hear me say this is 95 00:04:57,160 --> 00:04:59,800 Speaker 1: a meaningless game. I don't do that. There's too many 96 00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:03,200 Speaker 1: moments in the history of the Cowboys where preseason games 97 00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:07,800 Speaker 1: really do affect certain careers, and I, you know, I 98 00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:12,000 Speaker 1: think that it's fun to watch. I mean, Cavante Turpin 99 00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:14,840 Speaker 1: is another example of that, a guy that last year 100 00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:18,279 Speaker 1: trying to make the team and then has an unbelievable 101 00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:20,880 Speaker 1: first half against the Chargers with two kick kick returning 102 00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:24,440 Speaker 1: part return touchdown, takes the pads off and became a 103 00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:28,600 Speaker 1: Pro bowler and All Pro that night. So preseason can 104 00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:31,800 Speaker 1: matter individually for certain guys. All right, we're gonna go 105 00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:34,119 Speaker 1: to the phone line. We do have our first call. 106 00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:37,680 Speaker 1: Joe in Pennsylvania. Joe, what's going on? Man? 107 00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:39,240 Speaker 5: Hey Mack, how you doing. 108 00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:41,080 Speaker 1: I'm doing great? How about you? 109 00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:41,440 Speaker 6: Good? 110 00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:45,440 Speaker 5: I got a question about LVE I know a lot 111 00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:48,119 Speaker 5: of people have been saying he played well last year. 112 00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:52,000 Speaker 5: I watched all those games last year, and it seems 113 00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:56,280 Speaker 5: like he doesn't get off blocks well. He doesn't have 114 00:05:56,720 --> 00:06:01,279 Speaker 5: the speed or instincts to make a play. I looked 115 00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:04,159 Speaker 5: at the stats. Doesn't have many solo tackles compared to 116 00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:07,320 Speaker 5: other linebackers. Are you seeing the same thing or am 117 00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:07,960 Speaker 5: my way off? 118 00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:13,599 Speaker 1: I appreciate the call, I don't want I mean, your 119 00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:16,119 Speaker 1: your opinion is your opinion. You know, I don't way off. 120 00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:19,480 Speaker 1: That's you know, that's kind of how how how you 121 00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:22,760 Speaker 1: see it. I I don't think you're I don't think 122 00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:27,080 Speaker 1: you're you're I don't agree. I don't I really agree 123 00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:30,960 Speaker 1: with that. I thought he played well last year. A 124 00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:34,719 Speaker 1: lot of times we compare it to something else, So 125 00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:37,400 Speaker 1: you're comparing it to other linebackers in the league, which 126 00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:41,200 Speaker 1: is fair because that's that's how you get judged. Me personally, 127 00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:45,560 Speaker 1: Maybe I'm guilty of comparing Lighton to the last couple 128 00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:47,839 Speaker 1: of years. Some people want to compare it to his 129 00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:50,320 Speaker 1: first year when he was you know, All Pro, actually 130 00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:54,159 Speaker 1: second team All Pro, and a Pro bowler. So you know, 131 00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:57,120 Speaker 1: we're all guilty of that. We we we look at 132 00:06:57,120 --> 00:06:59,720 Speaker 1: seventh round picks and think that they're doing better than 133 00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:02,400 Speaker 1: a second rounder, even though they're probably not. Just our 134 00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:06,200 Speaker 1: expectations are different for Layton, for a guy that's had 135 00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:09,279 Speaker 1: some neck injury issues and to come back and to 136 00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:12,200 Speaker 1: play the way he did. Had one hundred tackles, obviously 137 00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:14,560 Speaker 1: not all solo, but but I thought he was active. 138 00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:19,640 Speaker 1: I thought he played pretty well. That doesn't matter about 139 00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:22,120 Speaker 1: last year. What matters is this year, and I like 140 00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:25,760 Speaker 1: what we're seeing from him. I mean, we we pulled 141 00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:29,400 Speaker 1: every writer on our team, on our staff to come 142 00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:32,200 Speaker 1: up with a top ten training camp performers. I think 143 00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:34,440 Speaker 1: he was like sixth or seventh on the list. Not 144 00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:36,640 Speaker 1: easy to do for a linebacker because you're not tackling, 145 00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:38,920 Speaker 1: you're not hitting. But it's about awareness, it's about finding 146 00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:41,120 Speaker 1: where you're supposed to be. They're also going to use 147 00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:44,440 Speaker 1: him a little bit more in some pass rushing role 148 00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:49,000 Speaker 1: this year, which will help maybe with stats, pressure, sacks, 149 00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:53,480 Speaker 1: all that good stuff. I think he's he's playing well. 150 00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:56,360 Speaker 1: I think he's kind of coming back from this injury 151 00:07:56,640 --> 00:07:58,840 Speaker 1: that he's had, and I think he's going to have 152 00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:02,360 Speaker 1: a good year. So something to watch though, I mean 153 00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:04,840 Speaker 1: you're not. I'm not going to say you're you're wrong 154 00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:07,559 Speaker 1: with that, but I do think that I'm a little 155 00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:10,280 Speaker 1: bit more encouraged by what we see out of him 156 00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:15,080 Speaker 1: at the linebacker spot. All right, phone lines are open still, 157 00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:17,200 Speaker 1: we want I want to get some more. Let's go 158 00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:20,200 Speaker 1: to some text line questions here. I like going to 159 00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:25,920 Speaker 1: the running back spot. Uh, Ronald Jones versus a guy 160 00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:28,880 Speaker 1: like Leonard Fournette. Who's who's out there? What's going to 161 00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:31,920 Speaker 1: happen at the backup spot? And and and Uh this 162 00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:35,040 Speaker 1: question was from an eight oh four area code. No name. 163 00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:38,360 Speaker 1: If you're texting, try to put your name at the bottom. Name. 164 00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:40,720 Speaker 1: You don't have to put full name, but just name, 165 00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:43,240 Speaker 1: and and and where you're from. Uh. We would love 166 00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:47,240 Speaker 1: to include that here. So, but for this question, Fournette 167 00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:51,280 Speaker 1: versus Ronald Jonan, Fournette's obviously one of the free agent 168 00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:54,840 Speaker 1: running backs that are out there. This is where I think, 169 00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:57,960 Speaker 1: and I've said this before, where I think backup running 170 00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:00,920 Speaker 1: back is tricky because of Deuce Vaughan. Maybe Deuce is 171 00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:02,520 Speaker 1: going to be the backup, but even if he's not, 172 00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:06,160 Speaker 1: Deuce is not going to be a have a huge 173 00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:10,400 Speaker 1: role on special teams, so somebody at running back needs 174 00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:12,480 Speaker 1: to So if you're gonna bring in a fur net, 175 00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:15,800 Speaker 1: if you're gonna even keep Ronald Jones, you need some 176 00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:19,480 Speaker 1: production from the running back spot on special teams. That's 177 00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:22,800 Speaker 1: why I think Rico Daddle is a good backup to 178 00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:25,160 Speaker 1: have because he can play it. He'll also get some 179 00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:29,600 Speaker 1: carries as well. I'm liking more from what I'm seeing 180 00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:33,200 Speaker 1: out of Rico Daddles. So to answer this question about backups, 181 00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:36,760 Speaker 1: Ronald Jones will be moved to a suspension list next 182 00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:40,080 Speaker 1: week when the rosters is down to fifty three. It's 183 00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:44,800 Speaker 1: not just cutting not eighty or ninety, sorry, ninety players 184 00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:48,520 Speaker 1: to fifty three. That's what thirty seven players. It's not 185 00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:50,160 Speaker 1: just gonna be thirty seven cuts. There will be some 186 00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:53,160 Speaker 1: guys that go to IR, guys that move, maybe revert 187 00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:55,960 Speaker 1: to POP, guys go to the suspension list. All that. 188 00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:57,720 Speaker 1: Ronald Jones you don't have to do anything with. He 189 00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:00,800 Speaker 1: just stays there for two weeks, he comes back. I 190 00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:03,439 Speaker 1: think that the running backs are probably on the roster 191 00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:06,080 Speaker 1: right now, at least for a couple of weeks. I 192 00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:10,199 Speaker 1: just don't see the value in adding that guy right 193 00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:13,960 Speaker 1: now or any any free agent. I mean, it's tricky. 194 00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:17,240 Speaker 1: I do want more more juice there at the running 195 00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:22,200 Speaker 1: back position. But I'm starting to feel better about Rico 196 00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:25,280 Speaker 1: and I think he's gonna be the guy. I like 197 00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:26,840 Speaker 1: what I saw from him the other night. I thought 198 00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:31,839 Speaker 1: he has a really good combination of quickness, burst, acceleration, 199 00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:35,520 Speaker 1: all that stuff with some power. That's what you want 200 00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:38,880 Speaker 1: of a running back. And if you can play special teams, 201 00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:40,599 Speaker 1: sign them up. All right, let's go back to the 202 00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:44,000 Speaker 1: phone line. We've got a call from Chris in which 203 00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:46,439 Speaker 1: it's all falls, what's. 204 00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:48,280 Speaker 7: Up, man, what's going on? 205 00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:52,880 Speaker 1: MSU go, MSU? That's right, proud, proud, alum. I am. 206 00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:54,480 Speaker 1: I don't know are you. I don't know if you are, 207 00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:57,120 Speaker 1: but I certainly am Midwestern States where it all started 208 00:10:57,120 --> 00:10:57,360 Speaker 1: for me. 209 00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:03,160 Speaker 7: Absolutely, brother. They just wanted to ask you about Brandon Aubert. 210 00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:05,720 Speaker 7: Do you think he'll get some a little more opportunities 211 00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:09,280 Speaker 7: in this last preseason game if they're within range? Do 212 00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:12,440 Speaker 7: you think the coaching staff gives him this chance to 213 00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:14,880 Speaker 7: put points on the board or see what he can do. 214 00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:20,880 Speaker 1: I appreciate the call, and I know that I don't 215 00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:23,199 Speaker 1: I don't have to ask you if it's hot up there, 216 00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:25,560 Speaker 1: because I know that it is. I know that it is. 217 00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:28,000 Speaker 1: It's hot everywhere. It's not everywhere, but man, which has 218 00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:30,040 Speaker 1: got different kind of heat for sure. 219 00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:32,080 Speaker 7: A lot of stuff going on up here tonight. I 220 00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:34,600 Speaker 7: mean Hotter and Hell old high Rider. 221 00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:37,280 Speaker 6: Insane. 222 00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:41,880 Speaker 1: Okay, Well, we appreciate the call. Not very many people 223 00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:44,240 Speaker 1: probably know exactly what he's talking about. He's talking about cycling, 224 00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:48,040 Speaker 1: a cycling race called Hotter in Hell and two rival 225 00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:51,640 Speaker 1: schools that are playing against each other. And there's some 226 00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:54,160 Speaker 1: weird dynamics going on with high school football up there. 227 00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:56,800 Speaker 1: They're changing the schools and don't I don't even know 228 00:11:56,840 --> 00:11:59,559 Speaker 1: what's going on there, but obviously this is gonna be 229 00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:04,200 Speaker 1: a fun stuff. But appreciate the call. Kicker Brandon Aubrey, 230 00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:07,319 Speaker 1: I want there to be some competenty. I mean I 231 00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:10,080 Speaker 1: want there. He needs some reps, There's no doubt about it. 232 00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:13,840 Speaker 1: He definitely needs reps more important than playing in the game. 233 00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:15,360 Speaker 1: And I said this on the break. If you were 234 00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:19,360 Speaker 1: listening to the break, I'm like, I'm not worried about 235 00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:22,319 Speaker 1: trying to get a fourth, fourth and six down by 236 00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:25,599 Speaker 1: the goal line, or or or even you know that 237 00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:28,400 Speaker 1: at the thirty five yard line. The if you're in 238 00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:30,720 Speaker 1: the second half of this game coming up, none of 239 00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:32,600 Speaker 1: these guys are probably going to be on the team. 240 00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:36,280 Speaker 1: That's just that's simple. But Brandon Aubrey, you want to 241 00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:38,679 Speaker 1: be on the team. He's the one starter that will 242 00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:40,959 Speaker 1: you will trot out there, So why not give him 243 00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:43,960 Speaker 1: the reps? What is it more important for Will Greer 244 00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:47,120 Speaker 1: to find Ontario Drummond over the middle for a first 245 00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:52,319 Speaker 1: down so Hunter Lipke can run the ball behind Alec 246 00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:55,160 Speaker 1: Limstrom so we can see and evaluate that, Or is 247 00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:58,000 Speaker 1: it more important for a field goal by Aubrey for 248 00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:00,560 Speaker 1: forty seven yards or whatever. To me, that's more important 249 00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:02,679 Speaker 1: if you're really trying to evaluate them. That is more 250 00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:07,640 Speaker 1: important than these guys playing second half, even second quarter on. 251 00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:09,680 Speaker 1: Because the guys that are going to be on the 252 00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:13,680 Speaker 1: field on against the Giants week one, they got the 253 00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:17,120 Speaker 1: pads off, they got a ball cap, sunflower seeds, all that, 254 00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:19,680 Speaker 1: but Brandon Aubrey does not, and so I think you 255 00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:22,240 Speaker 1: have a great opportunity to show what he can do. 256 00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:24,400 Speaker 1: All right, got a couple of calls in there, got 257 00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:27,720 Speaker 1: some text lines. We're halfway through the show. We're flying 258 00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:29,520 Speaker 1: by as always, We're going to take our first break 259 00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:31,319 Speaker 1: here on Cowboy storyline. When we come back, we're gona 260 00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:32,880 Speaker 1: get more calls and more texts. 261 00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:36,320 Speaker 8: Right back, Todd thought it would be secure to jog 262 00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:38,640 Speaker 8: in the cheat of Savannah.

It is fast, reliable 267 00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:51,200 Speaker 8: and secure, and he learned the best thing to do 268 00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:53,800 Speaker 8: is stop running and toss her the backpack with the 269 00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:57,560 Speaker 8: beef stew At and T five G.

Second half of the Cowboys storyline. 308 00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:49,120 Speaker 1: Here we are rolling through and we got more text 309 00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:51,640 Speaker 1: line questions coming in and some phone calls. We're gonna 310 00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:54,000 Speaker 1: go to the phone line right now. We have Bob 311 00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:55,880 Speaker 1: from Nashville. Bob, what's up? 312 00:15:57,240 --> 00:15:58,080 Speaker 6: Hey? How you doing? 313 00:15:58,160 --> 00:16:00,440 Speaker 1: I'm doing good man, How are you good? 314 00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:02,040 Speaker 6: Hey? I text you earlier and then I forgot to 315 00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:06,720 Speaker 6: put my name down. But anyways, that's my fault. So 316 00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:10,280 Speaker 6: I know. Early in the year or spring training and stuff, 317 00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:15,120 Speaker 6: McCarthy talked about changing up the pass blocking schemes and 318 00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:18,880 Speaker 6: our concerns with the offensive line. I'm concerned about changing 319 00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:22,440 Speaker 6: up schemes. Have you seen an improvement in the past 320 00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:28,560 Speaker 6: blocking schemes? And if so, I don't even know changing 321 00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:31,440 Speaker 6: up schemes. Me and I just thought the line blocks, 322 00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:34,040 Speaker 6: the backers pick up blitzers, and that's the way it goes, 323 00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:36,680 Speaker 6: but the scheme seems to be different, and that's what 324 00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:40,240 Speaker 6: he's saying. But how do you think that's working? And 325 00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:41,880 Speaker 6: if it's going to work for Dak because we need 326 00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:43,200 Speaker 6: to protect him, there's no. 327 00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:45,520 Speaker 1: Doubt about that. Who need to protect him. I appreciate 328 00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:50,080 Speaker 1: the call, Bob. Has it worked all the time? I mean, no, 329 00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:53,560 Speaker 1: it doesn't. And number eleven is the reason for that. 330 00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:57,040 Speaker 1: And number ninety, let's not forgot. Tank Lawrence is still 331 00:16:57,360 --> 00:17:00,280 Speaker 1: He's had a really good training camp as well. But 332 00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:04,200 Speaker 1: but no, I mean Michael Parsons messes up everything. And 333 00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:07,840 Speaker 1: another thing too, is the continuity on the offensive line 334 00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:10,320 Speaker 1: has not been there as much tire and they're not 335 00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:13,119 Speaker 1: gonna give every rep. Zach Martin held out most of camp. 336 00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:16,560 Speaker 1: Terrence Steel he's working back from the ACL injury, so 337 00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:20,080 Speaker 1: they're slowly moving, you know, these guys back into it 338 00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:21,479 Speaker 1: and want to see all these other guys. So they 339 00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:23,320 Speaker 1: really hadn't had a lot of continuity. We've seen it 340 00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:27,680 Speaker 1: more this last week or so. We've seen the projected 341 00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:32,160 Speaker 1: starting five out there together. As for the blocking scheme, yeah, 342 00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:36,160 Speaker 1: everybody's kind of every every team, every offensive line coach 343 00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:37,960 Speaker 1: kind of has a different type of scheme, and the 344 00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:40,000 Speaker 1: Cowboys have a new offensive line coach this year with 345 00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:43,000 Speaker 1: Mike Salari, who's been around for a while. I mean, 346 00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:46,200 Speaker 1: he's these older guy who's here actually on Tom Landry staff. 347 00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:49,080 Speaker 1: So that just goes to show what he's done and 348 00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:50,960 Speaker 1: how long he's been in the league. And he's got 349 00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:53,840 Speaker 1: a different scheme than what they've they've had before with 350 00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:57,720 Speaker 1: Joe Philbin or anybody else, you know, And to get 351 00:17:57,720 --> 00:18:00,600 Speaker 1: technical with it, I don't I don't think we need 352 00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:02,760 Speaker 1: to do that because I mean they don't come out 353 00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:04,280 Speaker 1: and just tell you what the scheme is, but just 354 00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:08,720 Speaker 1: little variations of how you attack certain guys. Sometimes it's 355 00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:12,840 Speaker 1: you know, the zone blocking ones with more blocking your 356 00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:14,920 Speaker 1: area whatever comes in there. Other ones are just more 357 00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:17,560 Speaker 1: pinpointing a guy and pointing him out and saying, that's 358 00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:19,480 Speaker 1: my guy. That's what the guard does. The tackle feels 359 00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:22,840 Speaker 1: here and that as opposed to laying back. And it 360 00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:25,440 Speaker 1: all changes with running plays, passing plays. So you know, 361 00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:28,760 Speaker 1: every every scheme is different and that's to be expected 362 00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:30,960 Speaker 1: with a new offensive line coach. So I don't think 363 00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:34,919 Speaker 1: it's anything alarming. The goal is always the same. It 364 00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:38,119 Speaker 1: was the same when Mike Clari was here in nineteen 365 00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:40,840 Speaker 1: eighty seven. It was to make sure Danny White was upright. 366 00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:43,760 Speaker 1: Same with every other offensive line coach. So, whoever the 367 00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:46,359 Speaker 1: quarterback is, you want him to be standing at the 368 00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:48,320 Speaker 1: end of the play, maybe with his hand up in 369 00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:52,040 Speaker 1: the air saying a great play. But the goal doesn't change. 370 00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:54,199 Speaker 1: It's just how they get there. It's a little bit different, 371 00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:59,359 Speaker 1: all right. Speaking of coaches coaches, We've got a question 372 00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:02,600 Speaker 1: here from a step On from Austin. He said, are 373 00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:04,920 Speaker 1: you're worried about Mike McCarthy as a play caller after 374 00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:09,440 Speaker 1: losing Kellen Moore? I actually like Schottenheimer in his interviews. 375 00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:12,600 Speaker 1: Do you think he's a bit more involved if things 376 00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:19,800 Speaker 1: go sideways. If things go sideways, yeah, you're always going 377 00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:22,920 Speaker 1: to change things up, and I think that Schottenheimer will 378 00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:26,040 Speaker 1: be involved. This is kind of unique from what we've 379 00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:30,480 Speaker 1: seen as far as the offensive coordinator in title, he 380 00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:33,040 Speaker 1: structures the offense and the game plan and all that. 381 00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:35,639 Speaker 1: As for the actual play calling, yeah, that goes to 382 00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:41,800 Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy on game day. I'm not really worried about it. 383 00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:47,119 Speaker 1: I think me personally, I think I'm going to like 384 00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:51,000 Speaker 1: the way McCarthy calls plays better than I like Kellen Moore, 385 00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:54,760 Speaker 1: and I really believe me personally, the way I would 386 00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:58,359 Speaker 1: think I would call a game. I would probably be 387 00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:02,840 Speaker 1: more conservative as a play caller because I think you 388 00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:04,440 Speaker 1: can run the ball as long as you can run 389 00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:07,920 Speaker 1: the football. I would probably do that a little bit 390 00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:12,200 Speaker 1: more than what you see, you know, in the New 391 00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:15,320 Speaker 1: Age offense and stuff like that. And I also think 392 00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:18,840 Speaker 1: as a play caller and the head coach, I think 393 00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:21,960 Speaker 1: he's going to be able to manage the game even 394 00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:25,120 Speaker 1: better than he did before. A good example the other 395 00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:28,080 Speaker 1: day against Seattle, they're driving down the field. I think 396 00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:30,720 Speaker 1: they got first and goal at the seven yard line. 397 00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:33,359 Speaker 1: I'm standing down there and I'm thinking, Okay, this is 398 00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:36,479 Speaker 1: great because this is what head coach knows exactly what 399 00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:38,720 Speaker 1: he wants to do. I don't want to kick a 400 00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:40,399 Speaker 1: field goal here, I want to score a touchdown. That's 401 00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:44,200 Speaker 1: what he's thinking. Okay, so that goes into your first 402 00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:46,720 Speaker 1: down call, your second out call. But I've never really 403 00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:49,120 Speaker 1: understood guys that have script, like we're gonna script these 404 00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:51,760 Speaker 1: plays and whatever what happens if they fumbled the kickoff 405 00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:53,920 Speaker 1: and you started the ball in the nine yard line. 406 00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:56,120 Speaker 1: I mean, obviously your post pattern on your first play 407 00:20:56,200 --> 00:20:58,159 Speaker 1: is not you know, not there, so it's hard to script, 408 00:20:58,160 --> 00:20:59,880 Speaker 1: it's hard to get ahead. I just like the fact 409 00:20:59,880 --> 00:21:02,800 Speaker 1: that the head coach is calling the plays can manage 410 00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:05,480 Speaker 1: the games. In fact, it's really not that uncommon. I 411 00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:07,640 Speaker 1: think more coach, more head coaches in the league are 412 00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:11,119 Speaker 1: doing it than than not. So not really worried about it. 413 00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:14,640 Speaker 1: Things go sideways, Like with any position, anything, any aspect, 414 00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:17,119 Speaker 1: you will change it up and you'll you'll you'll go 415 00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:22,320 Speaker 1: from there. All right, let's go from Oscar, Orange County, California. 416 00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:26,399 Speaker 1: Longtime listener says he wanted to ask us about Sam 417 00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:28,600 Speaker 1: Williams going to miss any playing time this year. We 418 00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:30,439 Speaker 1: talked about that earlier. I just wanted to bring it 419 00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:33,920 Speaker 1: back up again, uh for now in the back half 420 00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:36,640 Speaker 1: of the show. Here almost over, just in case you 421 00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:39,800 Speaker 1: you didn't join us right from the start, Sam Williams, 422 00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:44,520 Speaker 1: Jerry Jones is not anticipating any miss time from Sam Williams, 423 00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:48,800 Speaker 1: uh right now because of this incident. So that's that's 424 00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:54,040 Speaker 1: where it stands. I will replay this week probably you know, 425 00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:56,000 Speaker 1: you know, you're not trying to get any anybody hurt, 426 00:21:56,040 --> 00:21:59,719 Speaker 1: but you know he's he's the fourth or fifth pass rusher, 427 00:21:59,800 --> 00:22:02,120 Speaker 1: so I don't think he played long. If he does play, 428 00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:04,159 Speaker 1: I don't think he'll play very long. But because I 429 00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:07,560 Speaker 1: think one guy that really want to see is Isaiah Land, 430 00:22:08,119 --> 00:22:10,920 Speaker 1: rookie from Florida, A and M. I want to see 431 00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:14,080 Speaker 1: what he can do. I think he'll be He'll be 432 00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:17,080 Speaker 1: a player that they they they get in there quickly. 433 00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:21,320 Speaker 1: So Sam Williams, if he plays, I don't anticipate Dwan s. 434 00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:23,399 Speaker 1: Fowler doing a whole lot either. So you want to 435 00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:26,959 Speaker 1: get these pass rushers in here quickly. All right, Allan 436 00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:30,199 Speaker 1: from Clearwater, Florida, he says, what can you tell us 437 00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:35,120 Speaker 1: about junior focals camp in preseason games? That's another guy 438 00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:37,399 Speaker 1: that's going to play some here in defensive end. He 439 00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:43,760 Speaker 1: plays some tackle. H he's active. He sometimes as a 440 00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:45,600 Speaker 1: pass rusher, you can get too active. You can get 441 00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:48,280 Speaker 1: you can kind of get you know, up the field quickly, 442 00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:50,480 Speaker 1: and then the play happens behind you. You're not as 443 00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:53,520 Speaker 1: disciplined sometimes, and you know it's it's a it's an 444 00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:57,280 Speaker 1: adjustment for any any player from college to the pro. 445 00:22:57,680 --> 00:22:57,880 Speaker 4: Uh. 446 00:22:57,920 --> 00:22:59,880 Speaker 1: You know he played I think at San Jose State. 447 00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:03,760 Speaker 1: You know, he probably was able to rush the passer 448 00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:05,760 Speaker 1: and and and get away with some of the things 449 00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:07,320 Speaker 1: that he could do just because he can make up 450 00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:10,120 Speaker 1: for it with his instincts, with with his athletic ability, 451 00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:11,879 Speaker 1: and in the pros it's a little different, so you 452 00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:13,760 Speaker 1: do have to kind of stay a little bit more 453 00:23:13,760 --> 00:23:16,320 Speaker 1: discipline in what he's done. Think I think he just 454 00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:20,160 Speaker 1: needs reps if he get hurt during camp, missed some time, 455 00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:22,800 Speaker 1: he just needs to play. And I think the game 456 00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:24,920 Speaker 1: like this will be perfect for him. He's going to 457 00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:27,480 Speaker 1: make the team. It's a fourth round pick. They really 458 00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:30,040 Speaker 1: like his upside. He needs to play. Those guys that 459 00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:32,840 Speaker 1: are kind of raw, that they that you think they 460 00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:35,479 Speaker 1: can do some some things on the field. They need. 461 00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:37,840 Speaker 1: You know, the best way to play football is to 462 00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:40,600 Speaker 1: play football. And that's that's really as simple as that. 463 00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:42,400 Speaker 1: That's how you're going to get better at playing football 464 00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:44,719 Speaker 1: is to just go out there and actually play. And 465 00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:46,760 Speaker 1: I think it'll be good for him to do that. 466 00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:54,200 Speaker 1: All right, let's look at Reggie Reid question here. Would 467 00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:57,280 Speaker 1: you say that Mazi's defensive reps are fifty to fifty 468 00:23:57,320 --> 00:24:00,800 Speaker 1: both good and bad, and is it leaning more towards 469 00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:06,680 Speaker 1: one side I don't. I don't think it's no. I 470 00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:09,879 Speaker 1: would not say any nobody's reps are going to be 471 00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:14,280 Speaker 1: fifty to fifty. If it's fifty to fifty good and bad, 472 00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:18,119 Speaker 1: you won't be playing you. That's think about that. I mean, 473 00:24:18,119 --> 00:24:21,359 Speaker 1: think about like a left tackle that was giving up 474 00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:25,040 Speaker 1: is you can't you can't do that A bad game 475 00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:27,000 Speaker 1: for a left tackles When he gives up three sacks 476 00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:29,960 Speaker 1: in the game, well he also was past protecting for 477 00:24:30,320 --> 00:24:33,840 Speaker 1: you know, probably like sixty so you know, maybe not 478 00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:35,639 Speaker 1: that many, but but still, I mean he's blocking for 479 00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:39,400 Speaker 1: sixty seventies snaps. So no, I don't think it's fifty 480 00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:41,400 Speaker 1: fifty for Masie. I think he gives up a few 481 00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:43,920 Speaker 1: plays here and there and then again, and everything is 482 00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:46,720 Speaker 1: is is a you know, a video on Twitter or 483 00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:49,840 Speaker 1: you know it circled on the broadcast, and and then 484 00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:52,320 Speaker 1: it's just shown from you know, all all kind of 485 00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:54,560 Speaker 1: we have all kinds of analysts out there on Twitter 486 00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:57,560 Speaker 1: that love to film breakdowns and stuff like that, which 487 00:24:57,600 --> 00:25:01,560 Speaker 1: is great. But you know that's the thing about it, alignman. 488 00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:04,760 Speaker 1: You see the bad, and you see them really good. 489 00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:08,080 Speaker 1: But when he's sitting there and two guys block him 490 00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:10,640 Speaker 1: and they don't really move him, and someone else makes 491 00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:12,960 Speaker 1: a tackle for a two yard game. He's doing his job. 492 00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:15,000 Speaker 1: He's doing his job, and that's that's kind of what 493 00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:17,280 Speaker 1: you wanted to do. He's a first round pick and 494 00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:21,600 Speaker 1: people expected him to just be lights out, get up 495 00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:23,960 Speaker 1: the field, make all these plays and it's not happening. 496 00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:26,240 Speaker 1: And as soon as it doesn't happen, oh my god, 497 00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:29,320 Speaker 1: another first round pick from Michigan. He's the next tackle. 498 00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:32,280 Speaker 1: That's what people are thinking. Is it fair? Hell no, 499 00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:35,560 Speaker 1: it's not fair. The guy is I think he's going 500 00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:38,720 Speaker 1: to be a really good player. He's solid, he's learning 501 00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:41,359 Speaker 1: right now. He's not perfect. I don't think it's fifty 502 00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:42,919 Speaker 1: to fifty. I think he's doing a little bit a 503 00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:46,359 Speaker 1: lot more good than bad. People are kind of waiting 504 00:25:46,359 --> 00:25:48,800 Speaker 1: for the bad a little bit, and that's that's not fair. 505 00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:51,280 Speaker 1: But that's what happens with the first round pick. So 506 00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:54,600 Speaker 1: I think he'll be He'll be fine with that, all right. 507 00:25:55,280 --> 00:25:59,400 Speaker 1: Good question here from Paul from Vancouver. He said, what's 508 00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:03,399 Speaker 1: the gap between where over shown was pre injury to 509 00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:07,800 Speaker 1: Jabril Cox and why isn't Gabrill in consideration over Bell 510 00:26:08,280 --> 00:26:13,280 Speaker 1: for that spot? He says, I think I don't know 511 00:26:13,280 --> 00:26:15,000 Speaker 1: what he's saying here. I think so and so is 512 00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:19,840 Speaker 1: better than the typo here. We'll still's go with Belle 513 00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:23,000 Speaker 1: and Jabrill Cox. Paul from Vancouver thinks for the message, 514 00:26:23,800 --> 00:26:26,320 Speaker 1: I don't think I don't think Gibrill Cox is getting 515 00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:29,440 Speaker 1: passed over. I think they're just looking at the opportunities 516 00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:32,720 Speaker 1: to for these guys to get better, I mean and 517 00:26:32,720 --> 00:26:35,560 Speaker 1: and and to play more. And I think that watching 518 00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:37,919 Speaker 1: practice yesterday, I mean you could see most of it 519 00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:41,359 Speaker 1: was a walkthrough. Hardly anyone had helmets on except for 520 00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:45,040 Speaker 1: the defensive guys that are listening to the play calls. 521 00:26:45,359 --> 00:26:47,840 Speaker 1: And so Jabril Cox is one of them, Markus Bell 522 00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:50,719 Speaker 1: is another I believe one. Nay Thomas was also in 523 00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:52,359 Speaker 1: there as well. Doesn't mean they're going to call plays. 524 00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:54,800 Speaker 1: It just means that they're listening to the calls. They 525 00:26:54,800 --> 00:26:58,400 Speaker 1: want to get familiar with what Dan Quinn is calling there, 526 00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:00,879 Speaker 1: So that that was kind of interesting to see in 527 00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:03,440 Speaker 1: the middle of practice. You know, everyone's wearing ball cap 528 00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:06,760 Speaker 1: or whatever, you know, bucket hats, and there are some 529 00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:09,800 Speaker 1: defensive guys with actual helmets on because they're getting the 530 00:27:09,840 --> 00:27:12,840 Speaker 1: calls from from Dan Quinn gebril Cox. It's one of them, 531 00:27:13,080 --> 00:27:14,560 Speaker 1: so you know this will be this might be a 532 00:27:14,600 --> 00:27:16,280 Speaker 1: good opportunity for him to play, if he's going to 533 00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:18,040 Speaker 1: get out there and play in this game. This is 534 00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:20,440 Speaker 1: a tough one for the Cowboys because especially after last week. 535 00:27:20,800 --> 00:27:24,320 Speaker 1: They lost the game last week, not because of the score, 536 00:27:24,520 --> 00:27:26,960 Speaker 1: because they lost players on injury. That is the win 537 00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:30,600 Speaker 1: and loss for any preseason game, and they lost. They 538 00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:33,200 Speaker 1: lost two players for the season, two players that were 539 00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:35,040 Speaker 1: going to be on the team, a couple of rookies 540 00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:38,480 Speaker 1: and John Stevens and overshown. So you don't want to 541 00:27:38,520 --> 00:27:41,040 Speaker 1: do that in this game. You do want to evaluate players. 542 00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:43,639 Speaker 1: So it's there's some guys that really need to play. 543 00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:46,680 Speaker 1: There's some guys that that you don't want to risk. 544 00:27:46,840 --> 00:27:50,199 Speaker 1: Think about losing another player that is going to be 545 00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:53,520 Speaker 1: on your core special teams. If you lost another player 546 00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:56,040 Speaker 1: this week, that is going to be a really tough 547 00:27:56,080 --> 00:27:59,480 Speaker 1: situation for a guy like the special teams coordinator John Fossil. 548 00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:02,560 Speaker 1: You know, you just you don't want that, you can't 549 00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:05,440 Speaker 1: have it. So it's it's a very big balance here. 550 00:28:05,840 --> 00:28:08,359 Speaker 1: This is this is i would say, in the middle 551 00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:11,000 Speaker 1: of the first quarter to the second quarter. I think 552 00:28:11,040 --> 00:28:13,160 Speaker 1: from then on, you you're going to have most players 553 00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:16,480 Speaker 1: are not going to be on your roster, as simple 554 00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:19,040 Speaker 1: as that. And if they have a great game, that's 555 00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:21,760 Speaker 1: that's fine. Maybe it helps them make the practice squad, 556 00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:25,040 Speaker 1: maybe they play great enough where they are actually on 557 00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:29,200 Speaker 1: the team. But other than the kicker, Brandon Aubrey, who 558 00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:31,200 Speaker 1: could go out there. I mean I'd love to see 559 00:28:31,440 --> 00:28:33,600 Speaker 1: three or four field goals. I think everyone would feel 560 00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:36,520 Speaker 1: better about that. And why not try a fifty five 561 00:28:36,600 --> 00:28:38,560 Speaker 1: yard field goal when the ball is at the thirty 562 00:28:38,600 --> 00:28:40,480 Speaker 1: eight yard line instead of punting? I mean, why not 563 00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:44,040 Speaker 1: If he makes it, you feel so much better about him. 564 00:28:44,120 --> 00:28:47,280 Speaker 1: If he misses it, it's fifty five yards, you know, 565 00:28:47,400 --> 00:28:49,240 Speaker 1: I mean, you're not going to be I think it's 566 00:28:49,280 --> 00:28:51,160 Speaker 1: I think it's just a good situation. You're trying to 567 00:28:51,160 --> 00:28:53,040 Speaker 1: help the guy. So, uh, that's what I want to 568 00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:55,120 Speaker 1: see in this game. I want to see them stay healthy. 569 00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:58,360 Speaker 1: I want to see some some some field goals and uh, 570 00:28:59,040 --> 00:29:01,160 Speaker 1: you know, this is the move on. That's it. That's 571 00:29:01,200 --> 00:29:04,120 Speaker 1: really not a whole lot other to it than those 572 00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:06,560 Speaker 1: two things right there, all right? When a little bit 573 00:29:06,600 --> 00:29:09,280 Speaker 1: over time noting nothing too crazy, I think that's that's 574 00:29:09,320 --> 00:29:11,840 Speaker 1: going to do it for this show and this week 575 00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:16,080 Speaker 1: on Cowboys Storyline, stay tuned to the website. I'll tweet 576 00:29:16,080 --> 00:29:18,560 Speaker 1: out the schedule for next week. We're still trying to 577 00:29:18,560 --> 00:29:21,280 Speaker 1: get through this last week here. We'll probably go three 578 00:29:21,280 --> 00:29:24,600 Speaker 1: more times next week, different times, and then when we 579 00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:26,960 Speaker 1: ramp it up when the season starts, we're going to 580 00:29:27,040 --> 00:29:30,520 Speaker 1: be at the ten am time slot for thirty minutes 581 00:29:30,600 --> 00:29:35,400 Speaker 1: right before Mike McCarthy's press conferences. So that'll be the schedule. 582 00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:37,440 Speaker 1: But for this next week, kind of stay tuned to 583 00:29:37,720 --> 00:29:40,920 Speaker 1: Twitter or the website and the app Cowboys App to 584 00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:43,040 Speaker 1: make sure you get the time of when we're going 585 00:29:43,080 --> 00:29:46,360 Speaker 1: on Cowboys Storyline.
