Okay, I was just wondering 0:01:43.640 --> 0:01:46.440 the same way we do. No, definitely not that, whilst 0:01:46.800 --> 0:01:50.360 also engaging with the fans the way we do with 0:01:50.480 --> 0:01:54.920 the kind of aura that we deliver.

Nobody has Eye Canada we have. 0:01:59.200 --> 0:02:00.960 This is all aura, that's all. 0:02:01.720 --> 0:02:04.960 I'm ready to get into this. Do it because Isaia one, 0:02:05.040 --> 0:02:07.080 it's great to have you back. I haven't had you 0:02:07.160 --> 0:02:09.920 back since your back surgery. 0:02:10.120 --> 0:02:13.200 Bro, you're doing all right. It's these three weeks. 0:02:13.680 --> 0:02:19.000 It's been three weeks calling multiple preseason games, calling HBCU 0:02:19.200 --> 0:02:22.800 Classic games from Canton, Ohio for the NFL Network, flying 0:02:23.320 --> 0:02:27.880 from Texas to Cali, from Texas to Ohio to do 0:02:28.120 --> 0:02:29.399 NFL Network broadcast. 0:02:29.600 --> 0:02:31.920 And I'm sure you're just hunky door. You haven't had 0:02:31.960 --> 0:02:35.760 a single lick of pain the whole way. Good thing 0:02:35.800 --> 0:02:39.359 you didn't have a major I don't know what I 0:02:39.480 --> 0:02:42.160 was thinking spine or anything. 0:02:42.160 --> 0:02:42.240 Bro. 0:02:42.440 --> 0:02:44.600 Yeah, the whole back surgery thing was crazy. It was 0:02:44.639 --> 0:02:46.840 something that was needed. Everybody's like, why'd you do it? 0:02:46.919 --> 0:02:47.040 Now? 0:02:47.120 --> 0:02:48.560 Because I had to do it at some point. It 0:02:48.639 --> 0:02:50.359 was either like do it after the season and be 0:02:50.440 --> 0:02:53.160 miserable the whole offseason, or do it during the season 0:02:53.240 --> 0:02:55.400 and be distracted. Well, you know by the work, you know. 0:02:55.560 --> 0:02:57.480 So I had to get it done. My whole spinal 0:02:57.560 --> 0:03:00.440 fusion was necessary because my spine was collapse. It was 0:03:00.520 --> 0:03:03.040 displaced all the things. So they had to pull my 0:03:03.120 --> 0:03:05.600 spine back in place, raise it up, put an insert 0:03:05.680 --> 0:03:07.760 in there, screw it in, went through the front by 0:03:07.800 --> 0:03:10.880 the way. Okay, they went through my stomach, okay, moved 0:03:10.919 --> 0:03:12.720 everything out the way, got to my spine, put the 0:03:12.800 --> 0:03:15.320 insert in, turned me over. Use the robot to put 0:03:15.360 --> 0:03:17.679 the screws in through my back as well. So I'm 0:03:17.680 --> 0:03:20.600 a half inch taller now, boys, really, how about that? 0:03:21.480 --> 0:03:26.520 Yeah that was the real surgery. We need some new 0:03:26.560 --> 0:03:29.760 combound messure. Yeah, yeah, we need comb They had me 0:03:29.800 --> 0:03:32.079 at sixty two and a half at the I'm officially 0:03:32.120 --> 0:03:37.680 six to three, So officially six three two fifty now 0:03:38.360 --> 0:03:41.839 that's that. No, So, no, the first week. The first 0:03:41.880 --> 0:03:44.600 week suck. Shout out to my wife Natalie, who literally 0:03:44.760 --> 0:03:47.080 held me down, picked me up, did all the things. 0:03:47.240 --> 0:03:49.040 I'll keep away from some of the stories that we 0:03:49.160 --> 0:03:50.800 have behind the scenes that she had to deal with, 0:03:50.960 --> 0:03:53.240 but she was awesome through that first week. That second 0:03:53.280 --> 0:03:55.000 week got a little bit better. Then I had to 0:03:55.000 --> 0:03:58.400 start traveling, and that was that being by yourself for 0:03:58.520 --> 0:04:00.839 almost week and a half. At least, pull the first 0:04:00.840 --> 0:04:03.400 class on those they take care of you. Yeah, okay, yeah, 0:04:03.400 --> 0:04:05.680 the NFL, NFL network takes care of you know in 0:04:05.720 --> 0:04:06.720 that regardless. 0:04:06.280 --> 0:04:09.040 Of just make sure because coach in that scenario with 0:04:09.160 --> 0:04:11.000 not that's what I would have Isaiah. 0:04:11.040 --> 0:04:15.440 Stand back, we're talking about I'm not getting Ky the 0:04:15.520 --> 0:04:16.640 other one way or the other. 0:04:16.680 --> 0:04:18.440 He's in first class. So that was all good. And 0:04:18.520 --> 0:04:20.680 then you know, right before I was able to fly 0:04:20.839 --> 0:04:23.400 out of l A to go to Ohio, something around 0:04:23.400 --> 0:04:26.240 here happened. Yeah that you know, they did it right 0:04:26.279 --> 0:04:28.600 before the Friday show on Good Morning Football. So that 0:04:28.720 --> 0:04:31.560 was awesome being at the table having to address all 0:04:31.600 --> 0:04:34.360 that stuff because you know, everybody's like, Isaiah, how about 0:04:34.360 --> 0:04:37.200 them Cowboys? So what did they do? The whole Michael 0:04:37.200 --> 0:04:39.160 Parsons thing. Obviously, I know you guys already covered it, 0:04:39.240 --> 0:04:41.160 but that was that was what want you take you 0:04:41.200 --> 0:04:44.640 want my take on it? I, first of all, I 0:04:44.800 --> 0:04:47.240 did not believe that the Joneses would pull that move. 0:04:47.839 --> 0:04:50.320 I and there was nothing in me that would state 0:04:50.440 --> 0:04:52.920 that you have a generational player like that and you 0:04:52.960 --> 0:04:55.920 will actually make the move. Now, is it that team 0:04:56.320 --> 0:04:58.720 or is it the moving No, just to move in 0:04:58.800 --> 0:05:00.960 generals move to have it talent like that and to 0:05:01.040 --> 0:05:03.560 let him go, that takes some gusto. That takes some 0:05:03.640 --> 0:05:07.239 gusta regardless of whatever reasonings you may have, that still 0:05:07.320 --> 0:05:09.679 takes some cohonas in order to take. 0:05:12.440 --> 0:05:15.880 It's a stable Okay, speaking of that, it did if 0:05:16.080 --> 0:05:18.040 I was thinking about this maybe a day and a 0:05:18.080 --> 0:05:21.840 half ago. And at the end of that documentary, one 0:05:21.880 --> 0:05:24.159 of the final I think it was the final episode, 0:05:24.160 --> 0:05:26.799 there's a there's a clip that went viral where Jerry's 0:05:26.800 --> 0:05:30.000 talking to Ram's ownership and he said, oh, I just 0:05:30.080 --> 0:05:33.040 don't have the cohonas. I don't have the guts to 0:05:33.200 --> 0:05:36.360 make the trade that you guys did with Stafford and Golf, 0:05:36.480 --> 0:05:40.160 talking about the Ram Stafford Golf trade, and he's like, 0:05:40.200 --> 0:05:43.240 I don't have the cohonas to do that, and so 0:05:44.080 --> 0:05:47.600 that went viral. Of course, Cowboys, Twitter, Cowboys, everything picked 0:05:47.640 --> 0:05:50.440 it up, and then we see a move like this. 0:05:50.680 --> 0:05:53.839 Yeah, I just I don't know if there's a direct correlation. 0:05:53.880 --> 0:05:56.640 There may or may not be, but I truly believe 0:05:56.760 --> 0:06:01.800 that if you had any question gens as to the 0:06:01.960 --> 0:06:07.080 impact of Stephen Jones and Will McLay on mister Jerry Jones, 0:06:07.279 --> 0:06:13.120 I think this probably was the most impactful, polarizing way 0:06:13.240 --> 0:06:16.839 to describe their influence on mister Jones. People forget they 0:06:16.880 --> 0:06:19.760 said unanimous. Yes, And the reason why I say that 0:06:19.839 --> 0:06:21.760 is because you look at you. I don't know that 0:06:22.640 --> 0:06:25.160 they samous. I don't believe that it was completely unanimous, 0:06:25.160 --> 0:06:26.680 but I do think that it was heavily weighted in 0:06:26.760 --> 0:06:29.680 the favor of what they opted to do. I'll take that, Yeah, 0:06:29.839 --> 0:06:32.840 but I believe that their influence in terms of especially 0:06:32.920 --> 0:06:35.880 when McClay and Stephen Jones really just take it. Not 0:06:35.960 --> 0:06:38.000 to say that Double J can't make his own decisions, 0:06:38.040 --> 0:06:39.480 but I'm just saying that to be able to say, hey, 0:06:39.560 --> 0:06:41.560 take the motion out of it. Let's take the motion 0:06:41.680 --> 0:06:43.440 out of it. Is take the fact that this dude 0:06:43.520 --> 0:06:46.279 is as an absolute beast of a player. Let's look 0:06:46.320 --> 0:06:50.000 at it strategically. Let's look at it with the mentality 0:06:50.040 --> 0:06:52.520 of we're trying to build this roster, and you can 0:06:52.640 --> 0:06:55.240 have a handful of very dominant players, where you can 0:06:55.279 --> 0:06:58.640 have a roster of really good players, right, and when 0:06:58.680 --> 0:07:01.839 we're really good across the board, it's really difficult to stop, 0:07:02.279 --> 0:07:04.520 right because if you have a handful of really good players, 0:07:04.800 --> 0:07:06.679 now we can gain plan that. Now we can focus 0:07:06.760 --> 0:07:08.480 on that player, now we can highlight that. But if 0:07:08.560 --> 0:07:12.280 everybody on your roster is making an impact, then it's like, dang. 0:07:12.720 --> 0:07:14.440 And when you as we get ready to talk about 0:07:14.440 --> 0:07:17.600 the egos, especially their defense, who's the one person that 0:07:17.680 --> 0:07:19.160 you circle on their defense that you're like, oh, you 0:07:19.240 --> 0:07:22.920 better watch out for this guy is really it's really 0:07:23.000 --> 0:07:25.360 I mean, there's one guy that does absolute beast right 0:07:25.400 --> 0:07:27.320 in terms of their d line, But you have to 0:07:27.400 --> 0:07:31.120 respect everybody, everybody like the group, So that harder is 0:07:31.120 --> 0:07:33.920 the headline. Jalen Caller is a headliner, but like, you 0:07:34.040 --> 0:07:36.480 can't just focus on Jaylen Carter because somebody else will 0:07:36.560 --> 0:07:39.160 kill you too. So that's the approach that I feel 0:07:39.160 --> 0:07:40.720 like Dallas is really getting to and I think that 0:07:40.800 --> 0:07:43.080 they're coming to that maturity, right. I don't want to 0:07:43.080 --> 0:07:46.280 say that in a demoralizing way, right, but like there, 0:07:46.320 --> 0:07:49.320 I think they've matured over this last year in regards 0:07:49.400 --> 0:07:52.520 to understanding what it takes to put together a full team. 0:07:53.320 --> 0:07:55.720 So I want to give kudos to the front office 0:07:55.760 --> 0:07:58.360 for making for being willing to make the move with 0:07:58.480 --> 0:08:01.480 the understanding that it's going to be painful. But if 0:08:01.520 --> 0:08:04.120 you turn around and do what you can do with 0:08:04.320 --> 0:08:07.480 that space, with the with those draft picks, with the 0:08:07.600 --> 0:08:10.000 players that you acquired, with the player you acquired, then 0:08:10.400 --> 0:08:12.920 you could actually have a much better team. Quick question 0:08:13.040 --> 0:08:15.320 for you, because we've all all answered these questions, but 0:08:15.480 --> 0:08:19.160 the fans of the Best Cowboys podcast on Earth, I 0:08:19.280 --> 0:08:21.280 want to hear your take on this. How are you 0:08:21.360 --> 0:08:24.720 on the compensation package? I think they could have gotten more. 0:08:24.840 --> 0:08:26.760 There would go there, we could have gone. That's a 0:08:26.800 --> 0:08:31.560 complete and the reason why is because understanding who you're 0:08:31.600 --> 0:08:33.960 trading with when you receive those first round pixels are 0:08:34.040 --> 0:08:37.760 low first round picks, So that's why I believe that 0:08:37.840 --> 0:08:38.920 you could have gotten more. 0:08:39.040 --> 0:08:42.360 I think you needed another player, one another starter, one 0:08:42.400 --> 0:08:43.720 more starter, and I think I would have. 0:08:43.720 --> 0:08:45.720 Been okay, And I don't think they would have given 0:08:45.800 --> 0:08:47.800 that up Green Bay. I don't think they would have 0:08:47.840 --> 0:08:52.360 done that. And that's fair. Well then yeah, I mean 0:08:52.480 --> 0:08:55.960 next if it was, Yeah, I think there's a handful 0:08:56.000 --> 0:08:58.760 of teams that I probably would have called in regards 0:08:58.800 --> 0:09:00.719 to that. I think one of those to address the 0:09:00.840 --> 0:09:03.800 areas of your concern. Baltimore probably would have been high 0:09:03.840 --> 0:09:06.000 on my list in terms of not having to deal 0:09:06.040 --> 0:09:07.679 with them in your in your in your conference, and 0:09:08.080 --> 0:09:10.240 them having some depth at the defensive line position. That 0:09:10.280 --> 0:09:13.120 would have also been late first round. No, no, for sure, 0:09:13.120 --> 0:09:14.360 it would have been late first round. Or but in 0:09:14.480 --> 0:09:17.319 terms of teams that have additional guys to where it 0:09:17.360 --> 0:09:20.079 can utilize, yes, in terms of the positional need that 0:09:20.160 --> 0:09:24.720 you have strengthen an exact opponent, Yeah, but I do Again, 0:09:25.360 --> 0:09:27.240 I everybody asked them, what do you think about this? 0:09:27.679 --> 0:09:30.000 If they use the draft picks, if they use the 0:09:30.040 --> 0:09:33.560 salary cap space, if they use additional money, then it's all. 0:09:33.800 --> 0:09:37.360 Then then the Cowboys as an organization could be looked 0:09:37.360 --> 0:09:39.400 at and you can say, good job on the trail. 0:09:40.120 --> 0:09:42.600 And they did that right the first and first day. 0:09:42.760 --> 0:09:44.320 First step they did was go out there, let's secure 0:09:44.400 --> 0:09:46.160 Durn Bland, and I would imagine the next step is 0:09:46.160 --> 0:09:48.000 going to be Tyler Smith, right, and then after that 0:09:48.160 --> 0:09:49.720 then you could use those draft picks and say, hey, 0:09:49.960 --> 0:09:51.880 we could either use these draft picks to go acquire 0:09:52.000 --> 0:09:54.559 somebody else as an impact player, because it's hard for 0:09:55.120 --> 0:09:57.760 organization to turn down and offer for a first round pick, 0:09:58.000 --> 0:09:59.880 even if it's a low first round pick. If you 0:10:00.000 --> 0:10:01.920 you have a starter on your team, maybe they were 0:10:01.960 --> 0:10:05.000 a former All Pro bowler, and you say, hey, I 0:10:05.120 --> 0:10:07.800 want that guy, I'll give your first round pick. Almost 0:10:07.840 --> 0:10:09.240 every gym is going to be like what you say, 0:10:09.320 --> 0:10:11.320 not yet? Yeah they heard first, Yeah, they heir first 0:10:11.360 --> 0:10:11.720 round picks. 0:10:11.800 --> 0:10:11.880 Right. 0:10:11.920 --> 0:10:14.680 So they're all regardless, regardless of where it's at. Right. 0:10:14.760 --> 0:10:16.640 So I believe especially teams that need to get some 0:10:16.760 --> 0:10:20.120 depth and that have some salary cap issues, right, but 0:10:20.160 --> 0:10:22.280 they want to add some more impact players. So I 0:10:22.360 --> 0:10:24.079 think that they are in a really good position. I 0:10:24.240 --> 0:10:26.839 am intrigued and I'm proud of what they've already done, 0:10:26.920 --> 0:10:28.679 but I'm intrigued as to what else they're going to 0:10:28.760 --> 0:10:30.640 do because there are some more holes that they need 0:10:30.679 --> 0:10:30.960 to fill. 0:10:31.080 --> 0:10:33.880 This is the whole compensation package debate, and it can 0:10:33.960 --> 0:10:36.079 be ended by one thing, and that's hitting on whatever 0:10:36.240 --> 0:10:38.480 they do next. And that's what Patrick said last week, 0:10:38.520 --> 0:10:40.880 That's what Josh echoed last week. We talked about this 0:10:41.040 --> 0:10:43.000 at nauseum. So I don't want to harp on Michael 0:10:43.040 --> 0:10:45.600 Parsons as much anymore because Eagles got your thoughts. 0:10:46.080 --> 0:10:48.439 But they have hit the first domino. Deron blam. That 0:10:48.480 --> 0:10:52.000 four year deal for your extension awesome for him. I 0:10:52.080 --> 0:10:52.920 love it for Doran. 0:10:53.040 --> 0:10:54.840 I mean, I think all of us across the board 0:10:54.880 --> 0:10:56.719 have gotten to know Doron since he was drafted a 0:10:56.760 --> 0:10:58.720 couple of years back, and he's one of the salt 0:10:58.800 --> 0:11:00.920 of the earth guys in that locker room. Just an 0:11:01.000 --> 0:11:04.439 incredible player, super deserving what he's done to work to 0:11:04.679 --> 0:11:07.840 get to this point, to overcome adversity to be who 0:11:07.920 --> 0:11:08.480 he is now. 0:11:08.720 --> 0:11:11.840 I love this for him, and I don't know how 0:11:11.880 --> 0:11:14.560 you can be critical of this move. It's a great deal. 0:11:14.840 --> 0:11:17.000 I don't know how you get critical hits great. It's 0:11:17.000 --> 0:11:17.560 a great deal. 0:11:17.640 --> 0:11:20.080 And if you consider, like how much he's guaranteed thirty 0:11:20.120 --> 0:11:22.720 six point three you have a potential out in twenty 0:11:22.800 --> 0:11:25.720 twenty seven. It's which would essentially be a thirty six 0:11:25.760 --> 0:11:28.719 point three million dollars deal. With thirteen million a dead cap, 0:11:28.840 --> 0:11:32.160 something that you could definitely get over. But you also 0:11:32.240 --> 0:11:36.200 consider the how many other fifth round picks have been 0:11:36.400 --> 0:11:39.360 extended like this, you know, like you have to go 0:11:39.480 --> 0:11:41.400 back to twenty twenty when you look at George Kittle, 0:11:41.400 --> 0:11:44.439 who has signed a five year extension seventy five million 0:11:44.480 --> 0:11:47.600 dollars in twenty twenty, and then the most recent example 0:11:47.760 --> 0:11:53.760 was Diammador Leonore in last year, five year extension ninety 0:11:53.760 --> 0:11:54.439 two million dollars. 0:11:54.520 --> 0:11:58.880 He one of the few. Yeah, the next fifth round picks, Williams. 0:11:59.000 --> 0:12:01.480 I mean, that's probably the next fifth round pick that 0:12:01.559 --> 0:12:04.320 gets extended like that, and he's running back, so whatever 0:12:04.360 --> 0:12:05.440 that number is gonna look. 0:12:05.360 --> 0:12:08.400 Like, Yeah, exactly. The impressive for a fifth rounder. 0:12:08.200 --> 0:12:11.880 Though, yeahs amazing and I love the proactiveness We've always 0:12:12.440 --> 0:12:15.400 if you're one of the people that are upset with 0:12:15.559 --> 0:12:18.920 the Micah trade Andrew upset with Deron Bland, you can 0:12:18.960 --> 0:12:21.360 maybe tie those two things together because they're kind of 0:12:21.440 --> 0:12:24.160 tied together because of the money that you left over. However, 0:12:24.280 --> 0:12:26.199 if you're one of these people that are upset with 0:12:27.040 --> 0:12:30.319 how the Micah situation began and the late start to 0:12:30.320 --> 0:12:33.319 the Mica situation and then you're mad about Deron Bland. 0:12:33.640 --> 0:12:37.160 Stop it, because this is this is avoiding that. I 0:12:37.240 --> 0:12:39.240 feel like, do you guys get the same sentiment that 0:12:40.040 --> 0:12:45.160 Dallas fans in general were substantially more upset about the 0:12:45.200 --> 0:12:47.720 Luca trade than they worry about Micah. Absolutely, it shouldn't 0:12:47.760 --> 0:12:51.560 hunt one. Yeah, Luca's trade was far more jarring. Yeah, 0:12:51.600 --> 0:12:52.360 that's far more. 0:12:52.920 --> 0:12:55.959 And it's surprising too, because you've seen the sort of 0:12:56.000 --> 0:12:58.720 writing on the wall with Micah divorce that has been 0:12:58.800 --> 0:13:00.680 kind of a buzzword they've used over the last few weeks. 0:13:00.720 --> 0:13:02.880 I mean, Good Morning Football used it. You know, it's 0:13:03.320 --> 0:13:05.120 it's something that we were sort of alluding to this 0:13:05.160 --> 0:13:08.199 whole time. Granted, it was still very surprising. Michael was 0:13:08.200 --> 0:13:08.439 at it. 0:13:10.120 --> 0:13:10.560 What was Luca? 0:13:10.720 --> 0:13:12.800 It was a player in two first right now, it 0:13:12.880 --> 0:13:15.240 was a twenty twenty nine first and two players and 0:13:15.400 --> 0:13:16.199 they also sent Max. 0:13:16.400 --> 0:13:18.959 But it was also to Josh's point, it was the 0:13:19.040 --> 0:13:21.120 compensation is not even club, not even, But it was 0:13:21.160 --> 0:13:24.000 also the shock value out of nowhere in the middle 0:13:24.000 --> 0:13:27.880 of the night sports wise. For sports historians, especially NFL historians, 0:13:27.920 --> 0:13:30.839 you will recognize this this comp I equate the Luca 0:13:30.960 --> 0:13:35.360 trade to the Coats in the Mayflower Trucks, parting Baltimore 0:13:35.800 --> 0:13:37.240 in what it felt like the middle of the night 0:13:37.800 --> 0:13:39.800 for that franchise to leave the city. I mean for 0:13:39.880 --> 0:13:41.840 it to be what was like eleven eleven thirty pm 0:13:41.920 --> 0:13:45.320 Central time, and all of a sudden, a meteor hits 0:13:45.360 --> 0:13:47.400 the earth and Luca is traded, just springing back a 0:13:47.480 --> 0:13:50.000 bunch of emotions, and then and then on top of that, 0:13:50.320 --> 0:13:53.640 you look at the compensation and you say, and that's it. Also, yeah, 0:13:53.880 --> 0:13:54.440 this is true. 0:13:54.480 --> 0:13:56.800 When when my wife told me, because we went to 0:13:56.840 --> 0:13:58.480 sleep early that night, we have the kids, you know, 0:13:58.640 --> 0:14:00.800 like whatever. So I woke up the next day and 0:14:01.800 --> 0:14:04.360 my wife, my wife was like, they traded Luca. 0:14:04.400 --> 0:14:06.199 And I was like, stop it, no they did. What 0:14:06.280 --> 0:14:09.199 are you talking about? And I was she was like, no, 0:14:09.280 --> 0:14:10.679 it's real, it's everywhere. I was like, well, then what 0:14:10.760 --> 0:14:12.840 did we get? Did we get seven first round picks? 0:14:12.840 --> 0:14:15.440 Because first round picks in the NBA are not even 0:14:15.520 --> 0:14:17.760 close to the equivalent of first round picks in the NFL. 0:14:17.960 --> 0:14:19.680 They're completely weighed differently. 0:14:20.080 --> 0:14:22.800 And even with that, the Cowboys got more for Michael 0:14:22.840 --> 0:14:26.000 Parsons than the then the MAVs got for Luca. And 0:14:26.080 --> 0:14:28.040 that was before the lottery and that whole thing, and 0:14:28.160 --> 0:14:31.680 of course Cooper flag whatever. This is not the same 0:14:31.760 --> 0:14:34.040 and one is not the same. Let's move on to 0:14:34.280 --> 0:14:37.200 the fact that Doron Bland is now a cowboy. He's 0:14:37.320 --> 0:14:39.480 locked up over your corners. 0:14:40.720 --> 0:14:43.440 Expected to be available in week one? 0:14:43.880 --> 0:14:46.240 You know who else might be expected to be Oh yeah, 0:14:46.400 --> 0:14:49.400 let's talk about it, fellas there's an injury or another 0:14:49.520 --> 0:14:54.080 first team all no less Yeah, and Trayvon Diggs, dolly 0:14:55.160 --> 0:14:56.880 kind of important, kind of important. 0:14:56.920 --> 0:14:59.720 He was a full participant in yesterday's practice. Was that 0:14:59.760 --> 0:15:03.120 where the cow full full full, not limited, not limited 0:15:03.160 --> 0:15:07.240 to one hundred percent full full? So why he's playing 0:15:07.360 --> 0:15:11.160 like completely? We asked him, We asked him about in 0:15:11.240 --> 0:15:13.240 the locker room, and he did say, in his words, 0:15:13.240 --> 0:15:16.160 he's a seventy five eighty percent. Basically what that is 0:15:16.360 --> 0:15:18.800 is he doesn't want to step over the training staff. 0:15:18.840 --> 0:15:20.520 He doesn't want to step over the medical staff. Not 0:15:20.600 --> 0:15:22.840 showing the cards, right, he still has to be cleared. 0:15:22.880 --> 0:15:25.160 I mean, if you say seventy five percent, you just 0:15:25.160 --> 0:15:27.800 showed did you say he showed respect to the training staff? 0:15:27.960 --> 0:15:32.200 He did? Whoa he did? You're talking about Trayvon Diggs? Yeah? Absolutely, wow, 0:15:32.240 --> 0:15:34.440 Which is in the first time felt because last week 0:15:34.520 --> 0:15:36.960 I believe he you know, he showed full respect to 0:15:37.240 --> 0:15:39.760 Britt Brown and jimmar and the trending staff. So yeah, 0:15:39.920 --> 0:15:43.760 I know, right, narratives funny how that works. So so yeah, 0:15:44.720 --> 0:15:48.720 or before after Michael Drake, this was before that was 0:15:48.760 --> 0:15:55.800 before he said my team clock it. So Trevon Diggs 0:15:55.840 --> 0:15:58.000 full participant, says seventy five to eighty percent chance he 0:15:58.000 --> 0:16:00.920 plays against the Eagles. I view it as barn to 0:16:00.960 --> 0:16:04.560 set back over the next day or so. I think 0:16:04.600 --> 0:16:06.520 Trayvon Diggs is on the field. Question is is he 0:16:06.600 --> 0:16:07.560 on a pitch count? 0:16:07.760 --> 0:16:08.000 Is he not? 0:16:08.280 --> 0:16:10.280 But I think he takes my field. That would be 0:16:10.520 --> 0:16:15.200 absolutely huge for the Dallas Cowboys. What did we talk 0:16:15.240 --> 0:16:18.920 about timing? Again, which position was in arguably the most 0:16:18.960 --> 0:16:21.440 dire straits? It was cornerback. You didn't know if Trayvon 0:16:21.560 --> 0:16:24.680 would be ready. You didn't know, you know what where 0:16:24.680 --> 0:16:26.520 they would play, deron, so forth and so on. So 0:16:26.600 --> 0:16:29.080 what you do you make sure Dron's locked in, he's 0:16:29.120 --> 0:16:32.040 fully healthy, unlike last year he had the fractured foot 0:16:32.080 --> 0:16:34.000 that came out of nowhere. He's going to be on 0:16:34.040 --> 0:16:37.040 the field. Treyvon Diggs well ahead of schedule. Looks like 0:16:37.120 --> 0:16:39.080 he's going to be on the field. Great kyer elam 0:16:39.160 --> 0:16:42.240 coming off of a great training camp. So your top 0:16:42.320 --> 0:16:47.000 three guys are looking real crisp right now. Crisp again. 0:16:47.080 --> 0:16:49.960 Treyvon Diggs hasn't played in a while, and no bigger 0:16:50.080 --> 0:16:53.240 litmus test than we can one against arguably the best 0:16:53.720 --> 0:16:54.120 of the best. 0:16:54.400 --> 0:16:57.160 Surf here it comes in and then flipping to the 0:16:57.200 --> 0:16:59.960 offensive side of the ball. We had another full participant 0:17:00.200 --> 0:17:02.240 that is tracking a little bit ahead of schedule, Tyler 0:17:02.280 --> 0:17:07.919 guiding your starting left tackle. I like that guy as 0:17:08.480 --> 0:17:12.600 it stands, it's trending toward taking the field against the 0:17:12.640 --> 0:17:16.320 Philadelphia Eagles, and I love what Nate Thomas has shown. 0:17:18.320 --> 0:17:19.840 And I don't know that we talk about pitchcuns. I 0:17:19.840 --> 0:17:22.920 don't know that Tyler Goyton will be fully unleashed, but 0:17:23.040 --> 0:17:25.920 he is taking full participation in team drill, so it 0:17:25.960 --> 0:17:27.600 looks like he could be on the field as well, 0:17:27.760 --> 0:17:29.399 and it could be a combo of he and Nate 0:17:29.480 --> 0:17:33.719 Thomas out there trying to trying to stop the good news. Well, 0:17:33.760 --> 0:17:35.760 the good news is is when it comes to the Eagles, 0:17:36.119 --> 0:17:38.879 as we foreshadow, the Eagles, when it comes to the Eagles, 0:17:38.960 --> 0:17:43.600 they're not the Giants when it comes to the edge rushers. 0:17:43.640 --> 0:17:45.680 They're not some of the better edge and edge rush 0:17:45.720 --> 0:17:49.080 team as far as depth is concerned. Right right, you 0:17:49.440 --> 0:17:51.880 don't point at the Eagles, And Isaiah makes a good point. 0:17:51.960 --> 0:17:54.040 There are guys that you're like, Okay, Jalen Carter is 0:17:54.080 --> 0:17:56.440 the headliner, and there's like a Zach Bond and okay, 0:17:56.480 --> 0:17:59.360 those guys can impact games. But at the edge, there's 0:17:59.440 --> 0:18:01.040 no one that you look at and say, oh, that's 0:18:01.080 --> 0:18:03.600 that dude, right like you will on the interior. So 0:18:03.640 --> 0:18:05.199 I'm not saying it's going to be an easy goal 0:18:05.240 --> 0:18:07.280 for the Cowboys on the edges at all. What I'm 0:18:07.320 --> 0:18:10.920 saying is this at the edges may not be as 0:18:11.400 --> 0:18:13.359 as difficult a game as if you go against it. 0:18:13.480 --> 0:18:16.399 Just week one from last year exactly at that position. 0:18:16.560 --> 0:18:18.600 So yeah, so you know we'll see Tyler got in 0:18:18.880 --> 0:18:22.159 full participant, Treyvon Diggs full participant, Cowboys training in the 0:18:22.240 --> 0:18:26.040 right direction healthwise. Now, unfortunately, Perryon Winfrey did mispractice with 0:18:26.240 --> 0:18:30.160 some back tightness, which now does matter however you feel 0:18:30.160 --> 0:18:33.440 about the Michael trade, good, bad, or indifferent. This Kenny 0:18:33.440 --> 0:18:37.080 Clark addition might have just been became extremely fortuitous. 0:18:37.640 --> 0:18:43.800 You're saying, Okay, it's like, wait a second, look at 0:18:43.880 --> 0:18:46.400 let's not hold no death standpoint. 0:18:46.520 --> 0:18:49.720 Yeah, okay, So if Perryon Winfrey is not on the field, 0:18:50.560 --> 0:18:53.359 and you already have questions about what Mozzie Smith can 0:18:53.480 --> 0:18:56.560 or cannot be, if Kenny Clark is not in the 0:18:56.600 --> 0:19:00.840 building and Perryon Winfrey is not on the field, do 0:19:00.920 --> 0:19:02.960
