00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:56,120
Speaker 1: we'll get into some conversation about the defensive tackle position,

15
00:00:56,880 --> 00:00:58,240
Speaker 1: a lot of going on, a lot going on at

16
00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:00,320
Speaker 1: that position. We'll talk a little bit more about Cooper Rush,

17
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:03,560
Speaker 1: who got some more reps with the second team yesterday,

18
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:06,560
Speaker 1: and then we'll get questions from you guys throughout the show.

19
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:08,399
Speaker 1: I think Amber has a game for us as well

20
00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:12,200
Speaker 1: that we'll get to in the third segment. See or no, no,

21
00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:14,480
Speaker 1: I have something else for you. Oh we got something new,

22
00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:16,880
Speaker 1: all right, good, so you stay tuned for that. How's

23
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:22,280
Speaker 1: everybody doing this morning? Good? Good? Great. Let's jump right in.

24
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:25,360
Speaker 1: Let's talk about injuries first. There were a couple guys

25
00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:27,800
Speaker 1: yesterday that left practice. I don't think any of this

26
00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:30,440
Speaker 1: was serious, but I think the reason it was probably

27
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:32,640
Speaker 1: most notable is because of the names of the guys

28
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:36,000
Speaker 1: that left practice. Charles Tapper, Chas Green. Tell me about

29
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:39,720
Speaker 1: their injuries and h I guess, reassure me that they'll

30
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:42,600
Speaker 1: be fine. No, no, there's no reassuring there. I mean,

31
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:44,720
Speaker 1: you can you can trust Kellen Moore to drive the

32
00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:46,240
Speaker 1: ball up and down the field more that you can

33
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:50,400
Speaker 1: trust these two. Wow, tell me how you feel. I'm

34
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:54,200
Speaker 1: tired of those two sty like Brian Well No, I mean,

35
00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:57,559
Speaker 1: but every time we talk about those two guys, I'm

36
00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:01,600
Speaker 1: like out Tapper and Greens who were talking about Yeah,

37
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:04,280
Speaker 1: Tapper and Green, Tapper has the next range. Chaz Green was,

38
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:08,440
Speaker 1: I guess cramping, Chads Hey cramps. Des gets cramps every week.

39
00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:13,560
Speaker 1: Q Allen iverson here. I mean, seriously, we want these

40
00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:16,600
Speaker 1: guys to compete in games, but it's practice that they're

41
00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:18,640
Speaker 1: like getting banged up in I mean, like you can't

42
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:20,960
Speaker 1: count on them in games if they're getting hurt in practice.

43
00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:24,760
Speaker 1: I don't consider cramps getting hurt. I mean yeah, I

44
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:27,160
Speaker 1: mean yeah, Chads. It's easy to kind of roll your

45
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:29,280
Speaker 1: eyes because it's all it seems like it's always something

46
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:31,200
Speaker 1: with him. But I mean he's not hurt. Okay, he's not.

47
00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:34,760
Speaker 1: He's not hurt. He didn't finish practice though, and he's

48
00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:37,840
Speaker 1: had a golden opportunity to start here at left guard

49
00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:40,440
Speaker 1: because these other two guys aren't taking the job and

50
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:42,960
Speaker 1: he can't. He can't do it. So I mean, I'm

51
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:44,320
Speaker 1: just saying he's not a guy you can count on.

52
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:51,120
Speaker 1: It hasn't been he I mean, every the argument with

53
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:52,760
Speaker 1: him is still the same and he hasn't proven he

54
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:54,800
Speaker 1: can do it for sure. And I mean that's fine.

55
00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:57,280
Speaker 1: But him having cramps and getting the night the gang,

56
00:02:57,320 --> 00:03:02,239
Speaker 1: we're thank you, Alan, thank him leaving to get some fluids.

57
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:04,680
Speaker 1: I mean it was after compete period, so I think

58
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:06,920
Speaker 1: there was one more team period left, so like fifteen

59
00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:09,359
Speaker 1: minutes more of practice. Are like, ah, it's fine, get

60
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:12,400
Speaker 1: some fluids and try again tomorrow. Like I'm not gonna

61
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:15,640
Speaker 1: lose sleep about that, And I don't really know the

62
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:19,160
Speaker 1: severity of Charles Tapper. Next train doesn't sound good. It

63
00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:21,160
Speaker 1: doesn't sound good at all like that. See that sounds

64
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:24,360
Speaker 1: like something I could be wrong. But I expect Chats

65
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:26,520
Speaker 1: to be on the field today. I don't know about Tap,

66
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:28,919
Speaker 1: so that'll be something to keep an eye on. And

67
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:33,200
Speaker 1: that's and and I'm way more fresh. I get more

68
00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:36,440
Speaker 1: frustrated with Tapper than Chadz because of I mean, like

69
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:39,040
Speaker 1: you know, every I've said this before, every time Jerry

70
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:41,280
Speaker 1: Jones talked about Jalen Smith all through the last year,

71
00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:44,720
Speaker 1: he mentioned Tapper two. So you put those expectations on

72
00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:47,520
Speaker 1: the guy, and you know, he hasn't been bad at

73
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:49,600
Speaker 1: training camp, but he hasn't lived up to like that

74
00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:51,200
Speaker 1: type of billing. And a lot and a lot of

75
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:53,360
Speaker 1: that has to do with him being injured too, So

76
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:55,680
Speaker 1: that one's a little more frustrating. But I want to

77
00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:57,520
Speaker 1: hear a little bit more about the severity of it. Well,

78
00:03:57,520 --> 00:03:59,280
Speaker 1: part of that for Tapper two is that this is

79
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:02,440
Speaker 1: an effective first year. Like, yeah, because of the injuries

80
00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 1: last year, you're getting the first year player, and so

81
00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:08,480
Speaker 1: you don't expect him to necessarily all of a sudden,

82
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:10,600
Speaker 1: be great. You expect that he's going to have to

83
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:14,160
Speaker 1: kind of work toward becoming a good player. That was

84
00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:18,080
Speaker 1: my expectation for Charles Tapper. But the hype that got

85
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:20,320
Speaker 1: built around him, I mean, you would have thought we

86
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:22,400
Speaker 1: were talking about a first round pick instead of a

87
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:25,160
Speaker 1: fourth the way the way he was billed as somebody

88
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:27,040
Speaker 1: that's going to take the defense to the next level.

89
00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:30,039
Speaker 1: I don't immediately, I don't think that was ever a

90
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:33,440
Speaker 1: realistic expectation for him. But that was the billing. And

91
00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:35,760
Speaker 1: that's why I mean, and that's why he comes up

92
00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:37,960
Speaker 1: as a guy who aggravates people when he gets hurt,

93
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:40,920
Speaker 1: because that's the expectation that they had for him going

94
00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:43,039
Speaker 1: into this training camp. And you've got so many other

95
00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:45,920
Speaker 1: defensive ends that you know they're either hurt or they're

96
00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:49,080
Speaker 1: going to be suspended. You would like to have, Hey,

97
00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:53,080
Speaker 1: Taco Charlton, he's ready to play, he's getting better and better.

98
00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:56,680
Speaker 1: Tapper comes back. He's a guy who can plug in,

99
00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:59,160
Speaker 1: and I just don't know if you can count on

100
00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:01,960
Speaker 1: him to do that. But I think Tyrone Crawford, are

101
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:03,760
Speaker 1: we going to get into him? Yeah, well we go ahead.

102
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:07,000
Speaker 1: I mean, he looks like a guy that's gonna play

103
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:09,480
Speaker 1: on the week one against the Giants. I'd be surprised

104
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:11,240
Speaker 1: if he doesn't. I mean just the way he's kind

105
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:13,440
Speaker 1: of walking around out of the boot. He went from

106
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:16,440
Speaker 1: boot to crutch to just nothing real quick. I mean,

107
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:18,400
Speaker 1: what was that two weeks ago? That was before the

108
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:21,560
Speaker 1: Rams game, right, Yeah, yes, so it's been it's probably

109
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:24,680
Speaker 1: been about two weeks and he's still working through it.

110
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:26,120
Speaker 1: I mean, he's not ready to play right now, but

111
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:28,400
Speaker 1: he looks he looks pretty good, he's moving pretty well.

112
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:30,279
Speaker 1: They really dodge one with that one, because the day

113
00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:33,200
Speaker 1: that that happened, I think everybody was pretty sold on

114
00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:34,560
Speaker 1: the fact that this was going to be much more

115
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:37,280
Speaker 1: serious than it has been. Yeah, and if he misses

116
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:40,560
Speaker 1: basically training camp and his back by the season opener,

117
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:43,720
Speaker 1: that's a big big I saw him at training camp

118
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:45,640
Speaker 1: like a couple of days after it had happened, and

119
00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:47,480
Speaker 1: it was kind of more settled, and I was like,

120
00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:51,400
Speaker 1: I guess, congrats isn't really a fitting thing to say,

121
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:53,240
Speaker 1: but like, you know, but it is. It kind of

122
00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:55,640
Speaker 1: is like, I'm happy for you that it wasn't as

123
00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:57,720
Speaker 1: bad as we thought it was when it happened. Right,

124
00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:00,400
Speaker 1: not to put these two guys in the same sentence,

125
00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:02,800
Speaker 1: but to me, the Giants guy is gonna play and

126
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:06,960
Speaker 1: Crawford's gonna play, I mean o'dale. Yeah, there's a report

127
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:10,160
Speaker 1: out there this morning that suggests that maybe he doesn't play.

128
00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:11,880
Speaker 1: I believe when I see a Dave, you and I

129
00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:13,520
Speaker 1: had this conversation before get on the year. I don't

130
00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:16,080
Speaker 1: think anybody on this set probably thinks if you have

131
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:17,920
Speaker 1: to bet right now, I don't think anybody's betting on

132
00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:20,080
Speaker 1: the fact that Odell doesn't play against the Cowboys at AT

133
00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:22,440
Speaker 1: AT and T Stadium to open the season, right, Yeah.

134
00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:24,520
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know the severity of the injury.

135
00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:26,760
Speaker 1: It's an ankle, right, I mean, he'll probably say that's

136
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:30,000
Speaker 1: the dreaded high ankle. But hey, I mean he's Odell Beckham.

137
00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:32,160
Speaker 1: They'll probably put him out there, but I wonder how

138
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:34,200
Speaker 1: effective he'll be. Yeah, even if he's one hundred percent.

139
00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:36,800
Speaker 1: I just don't see a scenario this is the opener

140
00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:39,680
Speaker 1: against Dallas in Dallas. I don't see that. I'm just

141
00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:42,680
Speaker 1: trying to have the best Wednesday possible. To quote Jason Garrett, like,

142
00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:44,960
Speaker 1: I can't even think that far. I mean, who's even

143
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:48,000
Speaker 1: who's gonna line up on Odell Beckham for the Cowboys? Like,

144
00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:50,880
Speaker 1: what's that even better? Quay? Wait, wait a second, here's

145
00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:55,680
Speaker 1: the guy yesterday that doesn't want to play day. I

146
00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:57,560
Speaker 1: don't want to play anybody in preseason games, but I

147
00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:00,360
Speaker 1: still got to get through another. I mean I we

148
00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:04,160
Speaker 1: have to physically cover like four more training camp practices

149
00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:06,600
Speaker 1: and two more games, two games in a week, basically,

150
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:10,960
Speaker 1: and any it's gonna be fun because because a great

151
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:13,120
Speaker 1: city to go down too. But you just love Houston.

152
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:15,920
Speaker 1: I'm now because of this dumb top ten in Texas.

153
00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:20,040
Speaker 1: Maybe I like Huston. No, I don't. I don't really

154
00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:22,880
Speaker 1: dislike it. If I had to drive around in it

155
00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:25,360
Speaker 1: and live there, I think it would be really bad.

156
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:31,120
Speaker 1: Why because it's it's like horrible hot. It's human. It's

157
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:34,080
Speaker 1: really not it's human. It is human. But it's not

158
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:37,120
Speaker 1: a huge difference between Houston and Dallas. Houston has Texas

159
00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:40,520
Speaker 1: heat with Louisiana humidity. That's true, but it is true.

160
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:43,840
Speaker 1: The Houston Dallas rival recracks me up because as an

161
00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:46,600
Speaker 1: outsider who's not one way, I'm not from Texas and

162
00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:49,880
Speaker 1: I've been to both. I think they're basically different versions

163
00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:54,480
Speaker 1: of the same city. Like, how's that gigantic spread out

164
00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:58,960
Speaker 1: highways everywhere, barbecue and tex mex lots of oil money,

165
00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:01,800
Speaker 1: lots of new money, lots of like rich boogie people.

166
00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:04,560
Speaker 1: That's not Ust. That's not Houston. That's definitely part of it.

167
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:07,080
Speaker 1: Like Houston is that is not Houston is a natural

168
00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:10,000
Speaker 1: gas and tech hub, like it absolutely is. I understand that,

169
00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:12,640
Speaker 1: And but that is not Houston at all. It's there,

170
00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:15,680
Speaker 1: that's Dallas, that's not Houst. They're both super similar cities,

171
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:17,480
Speaker 1: and they both have a lot of sports. That's another

172
00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:20,080
Speaker 1: in football. Then they drive each other crazy. I'm just like,

173
00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:22,480
Speaker 1: y'all are the same thing, Like, get over it. It's fine.

174
00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:27,880
Speaker 1: Escalated quickly, it did es. They're four hours apart Houston.

175
00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:30,840
Speaker 1: Just I'm just no, it's just funny that the gap

176
00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:33,520
Speaker 1: from New Orleans is telling me how Houston is Houston

177
00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:36,080
Speaker 1: when he's never spent a single week of his life

178
00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:38,400
Speaker 1: and us have spent time in Houston. That's what I'm saying.

179
00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:41,360
Speaker 1: Houston is a little more southern, Dallas is a little

180
00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:45,280
Speaker 1: more like Texas midwestern ish, like so backward, is it

181
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:49,679
Speaker 1: not important? Like this discussion they say it's not whatever.

182
00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:52,040
Speaker 1: All right, let's get back into defensive Like the pigeon

183
00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:53,920
Speaker 1: on that one, I just just came in it just

184
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:56,319
Speaker 1: dropped it and went away. I'm gonna get more. I'm

185
00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:59,240
Speaker 1: gonna get more feedback about my opinion of Houston again,

186
00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:01,560
Speaker 1: you know what you're talking and anything, all he's mad.

187
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:04,280
Speaker 1: All right, let's go to that line right now, let's

188
00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:06,880
Speaker 1: talk about Stephen Pia We're talking about the defensive line.

189
00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:09,679
Speaker 1: I think Stephen Pia now is I'm starting to get

190
00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:12,240
Speaker 1: a little bit concerned, not big concern, but a little

191
00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:14,840
Speaker 1: concern because it seems like he's kind of in and

192
00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:17,280
Speaker 1: out and then in and out, and it's just it

193
00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:19,840
Speaker 1: does seem a little bit troublesome. Maybe it's just because

194
00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:22,520
Speaker 1: it's precautionary. But even when when when the team says

195
00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:26,280
Speaker 1: it's precautionary, there's a reason why he's out versus whoever

196
00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:29,079
Speaker 1: is not out right, there's a reason why you're doing that,

197
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:30,960
Speaker 1: And that does make you wonder when you get to

198
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:32,880
Speaker 1: the season, is this need going to be a situation

199
00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:34,720
Speaker 1: where it's going to cause him to kind of be

200
00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:38,320
Speaker 1: in and out? Yeah, I think, but with him and

201
00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:41,040
Speaker 1: what he's already done. Like he's come here, he's shown

202
00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:42,880
Speaker 1: you that he's pretty good, so you kind of know

203
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:45,760
Speaker 1: that very good. He doesn't need to establish that a

204
00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:49,320
Speaker 1: whole lot more. He's also he's also one of the

205
00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:52,240
Speaker 1: few guys that you can count on in the defensive

206
00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:54,800
Speaker 1: tackle position. You kind of know, because of what's happened

207
00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:58,640
Speaker 1: with Irving suspension, Crawford's availability to go in and out

208
00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:00,560
Speaker 1: it's probably not going to happen right now for you.

209
00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:03,880
Speaker 1: So he's one of the few guys you could really

210
00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:06,560
Speaker 1: rely on a tackle. So it's even more reason to

211
00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:09,000
Speaker 1: be a little bit overly cautious there. I would and

212
00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:11,640
Speaker 1: I would argue this is funny because I mean, I'm

213
00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:15,360
Speaker 1: a journalist. I value as much information as possible or

214
00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:17,640
Speaker 1: spend all my time on Twitter. But I think it's

215
00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:21,280
Speaker 1: also a byproduct of like having too much access to

216
00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:23,880
Speaker 1: the team during training camp, like the way football teams

217
00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:25,800
Speaker 1: manage their players certain ways, like they got a plan

218
00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:28,280
Speaker 1: for everybody tire and you got a bad back, You're

219
00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:29,880
Speaker 1: going to do this, this and this today. Then we're

220
00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:33,000
Speaker 1: gonna sit you down. All we see is fifteen minutes

221
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:35,439
Speaker 1: where they do stretches and then he shows up on

222
00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:38,439
Speaker 1: the injury report and we're like, okay, but he's got

223
00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:40,280
Speaker 1: it back. We know that they have to put him there,

224
00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:44,120
Speaker 1: but we don't see the detailed process of what he's

225
00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:47,000
Speaker 1: doing and how they're managing him. You could say the

226
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:50,200
Speaker 1: same thing about Stephen Paia. The difference is we see

227
00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:52,480
Speaker 1: it every day here for two hours, like, well, he's

228
00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:54,760
Speaker 1: not doing anything, what's going on where? I mean? And

229
00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:57,960
Speaker 1: I don't know the severity. I mean maybe I don't

230
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:00,680
Speaker 1: think it's a big deal and and I think they'll

231
00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:02,959
Speaker 1: that'll probably be something that they manage as the season

232
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:06,000
Speaker 1: goes along and we just won't see it once the

233
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:08,720
Speaker 1: season starts at But when you're at training camp just

234
00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:10,959
Speaker 1: looking for something to write about or something to report

235
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:13,079
Speaker 1: for two hours, those things tend to stand out a

236
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:15,000
Speaker 1: little bit more than they do during the regular season.

237
00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:17,679
Speaker 1: Cedric Thornton did return to practice yesterday. He had been

238
00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:20,880
Speaker 1: out with a hamstring injury, so that gives them kind

239
00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:24,680
Speaker 1: of their three defensive tackles once Pious healthy. Obviously, Malie

240
00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:26,960
Speaker 1: Collins is still looking like the beast that we all

241
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:30,560
Speaker 1: thought he would be coming into this year. But if

242
00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:32,880
Speaker 1: let's assume for a second that the Cowboys are going

243
00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:37,080
Speaker 1: to carry four defensive tackles. What young defensive tackle on

244
00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:38,880
Speaker 1: this team that's on the team right now do you

245
00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:40,880
Speaker 1: think will be the fourth guy that kind of makes

246
00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:43,200
Speaker 1: the roster. You got guys like Richard ash, you got

247
00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:46,880
Speaker 1: Jordan Carroll, you got Joey Ivey obviously, Tyron Crawford with

248
00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:48,960
Speaker 1: the ankle, he's at defensive tackle. I mean he's at

249
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:51,240
Speaker 1: defensive end. That's where he's been playing all during the

250
00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:54,319
Speaker 1: preseason before he got hurt. But could drop down a

251
00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:57,360
Speaker 1: defensive tackle. David Irvin you can't rely on because he suspended.

252
00:11:57,600 --> 00:12:01,800
Speaker 1: So looking at there's another guy in there, I'm missing someone. Well,

253
00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:03,680
Speaker 1: I thought there was three that I was talking about

254
00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:08,400
Speaker 1: yesterday and it wasn't Ash. Is there another tackle? Lewis Neil, Ivy,

255
00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:12,920
Speaker 1: Carol Neil You even though he's he's kind of an

256
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:16,640
Speaker 1: end tackle, he jumped. I mean, he was the story

257
00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:18,920
Speaker 1: of the first few weeks of training camp, especially while MALIEK.

258
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:21,319
Speaker 1: Collins was out. I mean, he hasn't he hasn't done

259
00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:24,360
Speaker 1: anything wrong, But I don't know that he's really flashing

260
00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:26,600
Speaker 1: the same way that he was when training camp first started,

261
00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:29,120
Speaker 1: probably because he's not getting as many opportunities because my

262
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:32,199
Speaker 1: league's back and Pia is in and out of practice

263
00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:35,080
Speaker 1: and blah blah blah. I don't think any of those

264
00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:39,360
Speaker 1: guys has done anything that you're like, well, they got

265
00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:42,160
Speaker 1: to be on the team. I mean, do you think

266
00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:45,360
Speaker 1: maybe they carry more defensive ends. I mean, again, we're

267
00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:47,360
Speaker 1: talking about it. At the beginning of the season, they

268
00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:51,880
Speaker 1: will be without, definitely be without two defensive linemen. And

269
00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:54,439
Speaker 1: Crawford we think he might be ready, but there's a

270
00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:57,760
Speaker 1: possibility he's not quite ready too. I could see I

271
00:12:57,760 --> 00:13:00,920
Speaker 1: could see them keeping somebody like Neil over all of

272
00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:04,600
Speaker 1: them because of the position flex. I could see that

273
00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:08,680
Speaker 1: Crawford kind of guy. I'm talking about the Crawford that

274
00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:12,520
Speaker 1: they let walk Um. Not even that, not even that

275
00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:15,720
Speaker 1: you know. It bothers me about Lewis Neil. It probably

276
00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:18,480
Speaker 1: helps him, you know, as a quick player, but his

277
00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:21,920
Speaker 1: shoulder pads are no bigger than like Kellen Moore's, you know,

278
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:23,600
Speaker 1: So I just don't look at him as a guy

279
00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:26,880
Speaker 1: that's that big, because I mean, it's always ironic when

280
00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:28,600
Speaker 1: I say this, because I know how small I am,

281
00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:32,680
Speaker 1: but he's tiny by hell defensive lineman standing, He's he's

282
00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:34,960
Speaker 1: listed at six flat. He I think it's more like

283
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:37,160
Speaker 1: five to eleven. Like he's just not a big dude

284
00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:40,920
Speaker 1: compared to the monsters that are all around him. And

285
00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:43,679
Speaker 1: and actually, I've been thinking about this, and I know

286
00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:46,560
Speaker 1: it's not sexy. The undertackles the position that gets all

287
00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:51,360
Speaker 1: the attention guys who can get sacks. But Ash and

288
00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:55,040
Speaker 1: Ivy stand out to me because Rod Marinelli, as much

289
00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:57,480
Speaker 1: as he likes getting sacks, he loves having that just

290
00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:00,599
Speaker 1: trash can full of dirt that just gets in the

291
00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:02,960
Speaker 1: I mean, Nick Hayden had a job here for how

292
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:05,640
Speaker 1: many years because he just was, you know, good at

293
00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:08,400
Speaker 1: the job they wanted him to do. Ken Bishop was

294
00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:10,840
Speaker 1: another guy that hung around for a while because he

295
00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:13,120
Speaker 1: could He had that skill set where you basically can't

296
00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:16,800
Speaker 1: move him. And Ash and Ivy do that. I don't

297
00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:18,600
Speaker 1: know if they get to the quarterback, but they can

298
00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:20,920
Speaker 1: do that. So those are two guys that I've got

299
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:23,320
Speaker 1: my eye on for, you know, maybe being that last

300
00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:26,280
Speaker 1: defensive linement onto the roster. All right, let's move on.

301
00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:28,120
Speaker 1: Let's talk a little bit more about the quarterback position.

302
00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:31,400
Speaker 1: We did talk with some about that yesterday. Cooper Rush

303
00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:34,880
Speaker 1: again yesterday gets some time with the second team. He

304
00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:37,680
Speaker 1: was splitting time with Kellen Moore taking reps with the

305
00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:41,760
Speaker 1: second team. I guess looking at it all the way around,

306
00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:43,840
Speaker 1: I guess the bigger question I want to ask here

307
00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:45,880
Speaker 1: is I think yesterday I came to the conclusion, or

308
00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:48,960
Speaker 1: we came to the conclusion that it's hard to imagine

309
00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:51,760
Speaker 1: that Cooper Rush won't make this team. I think there's

310
00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:53,720
Speaker 1: a bigger discussion that has to be had about that

311
00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:55,800
Speaker 1: of what does that mean for the rest of the team,

312
00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:58,920
Speaker 1: Because whenever you're gonna go, I presume, I presume that's

313
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:01,760
Speaker 1: long for what we thought going into training camp, three

314
00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:04,000
Speaker 1: quarterbacks on this roster. I think most of us probably

315
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:06,960
Speaker 1: assumed it would be two. That means that there's another

316
00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:08,680
Speaker 1: position where you may not be able to go as

317
00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:10,600
Speaker 1: long as you want it. Wide receiver comes to mind.

318
00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:13,000
Speaker 1: Maybe running back. I don't know if I put that

319
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:14,800
Speaker 1: in the same category, but that's another way you think

320
00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:17,600
Speaker 1: about it. You know, where do you think there are

321
00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:21,200
Speaker 1: bubble guys that may need concerned? Tight end maybe where

322
00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:23,640
Speaker 1: there may needs to be some concern If the Cowboys

323
00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:28,200
Speaker 1: going to carry three quarterbacks, well I don't know exactly

324
00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:31,280
Speaker 1: if if they will carry three, I mean I still

325
00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:34,120
Speaker 1: I believe that you only carry two. And I thought

326
00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:36,680
Speaker 1: before we get to that, I mean, I think Jason

327
00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:40,240
Speaker 1: Garrett's answered to that was was we said on the show,

328
00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:42,720
Speaker 1: and you, Dave, you said, there's no way he's going

329
00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:45,280
Speaker 1: to answer that the way we wanted. He was shocking

330
00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:50,880
Speaker 1: open about his thought process yesterday he said basically, they're

331
00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:54,080
Speaker 1: gonna get both reps because he's earned it. He's going

332
00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:56,680
Speaker 1: to get the number two reps. So to answer your question,

333
00:15:57,760 --> 00:16:00,640
Speaker 1: I think, yeah, I mean, it'll come down to like

334
00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:05,320
Speaker 1: the sixth cornerback, honestly, the quarterback, and it's like the

335
00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:09,400
Speaker 1: sixth cornerback, maybe the seventh linebacker. I mean, so I

336
00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:12,040
Speaker 1: look at guy when Cooper Rush plays well, and if

337
00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:15,840
Speaker 1: Kellen Moore comes and plays well, then if I'm Marquez White,

338
00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:20,760
Speaker 1: Duke Thomas, Mark Nazata, Noah Brown, Andy Jones, Davier Woods,

339
00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:24,400
Speaker 1: you think he's already think he makes I think Xavier

340
00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:28,560
Speaker 1: Woods is more safe than the rest of those guys. Yeah,

341
00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:32,000
Speaker 1: and maybe like your ninth offensive lineman, whoever that would be.

342
00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:35,480
Speaker 1: And that's another area where offensive line. I think they

343
00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:37,720
Speaker 1: could go eight. Very you talked, you guys talked about

344
00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:41,000
Speaker 1: it yesterday. I and Nick made a hell of a point,

345
00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:44,320
Speaker 1: and I'm coming or through this whole camp. I've I've

346
00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:47,000
Speaker 1: been thinking nine just because I mean, we can't trust

347
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:50,600
Speaker 1: trust Chaz Green Vile Collins is not experienced at right tackle.

348
00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:53,160
Speaker 1: But the more you think about, you're like, damn like

349
00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:55,720
Speaker 1: all of the reserve, all of your backups can play

350
00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:59,400
Speaker 1: multiple positions. And that's so I in the span of

351
00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:01,400
Speaker 1: about a day and a half, I talked myself into

352
00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:04,520
Speaker 1: eight offensive linemen. It makes sense. I mean, if you

353
00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:07,679
Speaker 1: can get Cooper to be your starter, right, that's important

354
00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:10,119
Speaker 1: because of Chazz. Yeah, but Cooper has to be the

355
00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:13,760
Speaker 1: starter in order in that in that Cooper has got

356
00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:16,360
Speaker 1: to be the gag. And I mean, at some point

357
00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:19,600
Speaker 1: they have to just say, let's do this, like let's

358
00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:23,320
Speaker 1: make the decision for Tyrn Smith Travis Frederick's sake, even

359
00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:26,679
Speaker 1: though they'll be fine whatever you did, but you need

360
00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:28,800
Speaker 1: that continuity of this is going to be your guy.

361
00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:31,200
Speaker 1: I asked Garrett about that yesterday and his answer was

362
00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:33,159
Speaker 1: pretty good, But I was like, do you need to

363
00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:35,159
Speaker 1: figure this? Do you have a timeline for when you

364
00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:37,159
Speaker 1: need to figure this out? And I was hoping he

365
00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:39,120
Speaker 1: would be a little more specific He's like, well, we've

366
00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:42,119
Speaker 1: got about two weeks. I was like, well, dud, Jason

367
00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:44,480
Speaker 1: to the season starts in two weeks. Yeah, but here's

368
00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:46,320
Speaker 1: the problem. Do you really have two weeks? Because that's

369
00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:48,640
Speaker 1: my point, I got one more game with those guys

370
00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:51,000
Speaker 1: are going to play, right, They're not playing next week

371
00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:53,480
Speaker 1: in Houston. So if you want real action, if you

372
00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:55,960
Speaker 1: want some action where you're they're going up against guys

373
00:17:56,000 --> 00:18:00,800
Speaker 1: that are NFL caliber guys, you really at this one game,

374
00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:04,520
Speaker 1: assuming Chaz is healthy and these cramps is just cramps,

375
00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:06,360
Speaker 1: and he practices the rest of the week, and blah

376
00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:10,200
Speaker 1: blah blah. I'm just whoever starts on Saturday, I think

377
00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:11,960
Speaker 1: is the guy that they're gonna go with. Then maybe

378
00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:14,480
Speaker 1: they're not gonna say that, but that's I'm just gonna like,

379
00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:16,320
Speaker 1: why wouldn't you put the guy you want to start

380
00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:19,080
Speaker 1: in there for a dress rehearsal, unless, of course, they

381
00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:20,800
Speaker 1: decide if you're going to play the starters. Let's assume

382
00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:22,680
Speaker 1: they're going to play the starters or most of the starters,

383
00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:25,600
Speaker 1: or at least the offensive line for the entire first half.

384
00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:28,200
Speaker 1: Maybe you got one in there for the first quarter,

385
00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:30,480
Speaker 1: one in there for the second quarter, who goes out first,

386
00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:34,280
Speaker 1: then whoever goes out first as the leader in the clubhouse, right,

387
00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:36,520
Speaker 1: he's the leader. Yeah, yeah, I would be my guests.

388
00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:39,240
Speaker 1: I don't know. But offensive line is a spot where

389
00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:41,680
Speaker 1: I think they could go light. And I mean, obviously

390
00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:44,680
Speaker 1: everybody would prefer for Zeke to be on the team,

391
00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:46,800
Speaker 1: But that's a one fewer running back you got. Because

392
00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:48,919
Speaker 1: I've been thinking five running backs for a month, and

393
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:51,959
Speaker 1: now assuming Zeke starts the season suspended, that I think

394
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:54,280
Speaker 1: you only need to carry four. So I think that

395
00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:57,959
Speaker 1: you'll need to carry four in addition to Zeke or

396
00:18:57,480 --> 00:19:01,800
Speaker 1: four total total eating I consider Keith Smith running back

397
00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:03,560
Speaker 1: for the purposes of this. I agree with you on that.

398
00:19:03,800 --> 00:19:05,600
Speaker 1: So there's just those four is who you think they

399
00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:08,240
Speaker 1: don't keep an extra the fifth guy? They're not four four,

400
00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:10,800
Speaker 1: got it. I think you've got about three to four

401
00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:14,840
Speaker 1: players whose injuries, even though they're not major, their injuries

402
00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:19,199
Speaker 1: are kind of gonna decide. They're kind of the dominoes

403
00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:21,840
Speaker 1: that will decide the rest of the roster. I mean

404
00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:27,000
Speaker 1: Cheeto being one of them, because if he can come

405
00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:30,600
Speaker 1: back and play and they can get comfortable with him,

406
00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:35,879
Speaker 1: then that could affect your safety cornerback numbers there because

407
00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:37,920
Speaker 1: he can kind of do both. Same with Chaz Green,

408
00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:42,080
Speaker 1: same with Jalen Smith. I mean, obviously his injury, he's

409
00:19:42,119 --> 00:19:45,760
Speaker 1: getting past that. But the fact that you know, how

410
00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:47,840
Speaker 1: comfortable are they are they gonna go with Duran are

411
00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:51,280
Speaker 1: they They're gonna go along there, They're gonna have Nazacha,

412
00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:55,600
Speaker 1: So you know, Ryan Switzer's injury kind of factors into

413
00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:58,560
Speaker 1: there as well. I guess Cole Beasley could just return ponts.

414
00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:02,840
Speaker 1: I know who's not going to return pont fourteen? What's

415
00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:07,199
Speaker 1: the deal? There's some issues with catching the ball. It's awful,

416
00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:09,200
Speaker 1: Like there's got to be somebody else that can do

417
00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:12,480
Speaker 1: that on this team right now, even I mean Duke

418
00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:17,240
Speaker 1: Thomas or somebody. He's an interesting player though, because I think, yeah,

419
00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:19,280
Speaker 1: at least in practice and in some of the games,

420
00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:22,200
Speaker 1: I think I've seen him make some plays as a receiver.

421
00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:26,399
Speaker 1: It's interesting that as a returner, but as a receiver,

422
00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:28,280
Speaker 1: and it seems like they're trying to find more things

423
00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:29,840
Speaker 1: for him to do because they're trying to figure out

424
00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:31,679
Speaker 1: whether they can get him on the practice squad. Probably

425
00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:33,840
Speaker 1: he scored a touchdown, yeah, So I mean it's not

426
00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:35,480
Speaker 1: like he's just been a you know, a guy that's

427
00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:38,400
Speaker 1: not done anything. If you if you think about I mean,

428
00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:43,000
Speaker 1: maybe I'm wrong. I overestimate this every year. But between

429
00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:46,000
Speaker 1: Noah Brown and Andy Jones, if they are not on

430
00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:48,440
Speaker 1: the fifty three, I think one of them is getting

431
00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:51,720
Speaker 1: claimed somewhere. They're too good to go through waivers. Maybe

432
00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:54,479
Speaker 1: I'm wrong, but that's what I think. And so at

433
00:20:54,560 --> 00:20:56,879
Speaker 1: least one, if not both, of those guys you would

434
00:20:56,880 --> 00:21:00,840
Speaker 1: want on your practice squad. You know, Lenora and Brian

435
00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:05,800
Speaker 1: Brown and Easy Watch Nawatchku are all candidates to be

436
00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:08,440
Speaker 1: that other practice squad receiver I think, But it's just interesting.

437
00:21:08,840 --> 00:21:11,440
Speaker 1: They're so deep at receiver. You know, Brian Brown is

438
00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:13,280
Speaker 1: a guy that I would have as a lock to

439
00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:16,280
Speaker 1: be on my practice squad normally, but maybe you don't

440
00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:18,639
Speaker 1: need him if Noah Brown and Nanny Jones wind up

441
00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:20,560
Speaker 1: on your practice squad, or maybe you do if they

442
00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:22,520
Speaker 1: get signed. I don't know. This is a really good

443
00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:24,479
Speaker 1: receiver group. I think it really is as good as

444
00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:26,440
Speaker 1: it's been in the years that I've covered. Then give

445
00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:30,200
Speaker 1: Bryce credit for making it that way, because Bryce could

446
00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:33,359
Speaker 1: have easily been the odd man out here if he

447
00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:37,160
Speaker 1: just kind of continued his pretty good here, but I'll

448
00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:39,040
Speaker 1: kind of mess up every now and again, and he

449
00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:42,760
Speaker 1: hasn't done that. He's been very consistent. And I think

450
00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:45,600
Speaker 1: he's such a likable guy that every I mean because

451
00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:47,320
Speaker 1: because he works hard. I mean, it's not just about

452
00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:50,320
Speaker 1: being a good guy, but I think that he works hard,

453
00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:53,439
Speaker 1: he understands, and you know, he's just that type of

454
00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:55,800
Speaker 1: guy that I think there Dooley wants to have in

516

Speaker 1: We're gonna take some questions. You guys can call us.

517
00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:08,560
Speaker 1: A number is two one four eight seven two twenty

518
00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:10,440
Speaker 1: one O two. Again it's two one four eight seven

519
00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:13,119
Speaker 1: two twenty one O two. You can just on Twitter

520
00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:16,240
Speaker 1: at Cowboys Break. Amber will get your questions there. Let's

521
00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:18,000
Speaker 1: start with a question from Twitter. What we have Amber?

522
00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:21,920
Speaker 1: How's the emergence of Neil and Woody Baron pushed Thornton

523
00:25:22,040 --> 00:25:27,320
Speaker 1: to maybe being cut Thornton, you know, when you were

524
00:25:27,320 --> 00:25:30,480
Speaker 1: talking about the defensive tackle position just now, I thought

525
00:25:30,520 --> 00:25:34,400
Speaker 1: about that, if Ivy and Carol and Ash and those

526
00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:37,760
Speaker 1: guys had really stepped up and done some things like

527
00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:41,919
Speaker 1: a like let's say the receiver position. You know, like

528
00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:44,960
Speaker 1: if they had performed the way that maybe Andy Jones

529
00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:49,040
Speaker 1: and Noah Brown and those guys have and and Bryce

530
00:25:49,119 --> 00:25:51,840
Speaker 1: Butler had kind of been in the Cedric Thornton mode,

531
00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:54,320
Speaker 1: then yeah, he could have been cut. But the fact

532
00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:57,120
Speaker 1: that those guys haven't really stepped up, and I think

533
00:25:57,119 --> 00:25:59,960
Speaker 1: they're still counting on Cedric Thornton and his contract is

534
00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:03,040
Speaker 1: is not ready to just get rid of. I mean,

535
00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:06,840
Speaker 1: his contract isn't so huge that it would hinder you,

536
00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:09,840
Speaker 1: but I don't They wouldn't cut a guy option he's

537
00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:12,840
Speaker 1: still one of your top and he tackles, right, Yeah,

538
00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:16,880
Speaker 1: he's not. He's not awful. Yeah, he's been hurt and no,

539
00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:19,240
Speaker 1: I'd be really surprised if he got cut A because

540
00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:21,720
Speaker 1: of his contract and b because he's one of your

541
00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:26,120
Speaker 1: best three tackles regardless of what the rookies are doing. Yeah,

542
00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:30,160
Speaker 1: I'm just saying they could have maybe pushed him out

543
00:26:30,840 --> 00:26:33,080
Speaker 1: because he's not a guy you have to keep, but

544
00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:37,320
Speaker 1: now he is because you get other guy one's better, right,

545
00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:41,720
Speaker 1: So don't do this next year? You know, Now if

546
00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:43,840
Speaker 1: he comes through has a decent year, and then next

547
00:26:43,920 --> 00:26:46,800
Speaker 1: year comes around and they draft probably higher, you know,

548
00:26:46,880 --> 00:26:48,640
Speaker 1: in the in the rounds and the third or fourth

549
00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:51,520
Speaker 1: round to get a tackle. I could see where Yeah,

550
00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:55,320
Speaker 1: and that last year well, typically and when this front

551
00:26:55,359 --> 00:26:58,200
Speaker 1: office usually structures their contracts so that they haven't out

552
00:26:58,240 --> 00:27:00,600
Speaker 1: after two years. I mean, if you know, the first

553
00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:03,240
Speaker 1: two years or the years where it's not great money wise,

554
00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:05,880
Speaker 1: and then usually you can make it work for year

555
00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:07,560
Speaker 1: three and four. Would you guys agree that he's a

556
00:27:07,600 --> 00:27:12,960
Speaker 1: solid rotation defensive tackle, Yes, but I think you paid

557
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:15,160
Speaker 1: him to be better than that. Okay, and that's fair.

558
00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:18,240
Speaker 1: He's a solid rotational guy, but you thought he was

559
00:27:18,280 --> 00:27:21,840
Speaker 1: going to be like a really quality beastly starter guy,

560
00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:24,880
Speaker 1: at least I did, so. I don't know that he's

561
00:27:24,920 --> 00:27:26,879
Speaker 1: lived up to that especially. I mean, I think we

562
00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:29,320
Speaker 1: are we all probably agree that we'd prefer to have

563
00:27:29,359 --> 00:27:32,600
Speaker 1: Paya in the starting for when the season starts. Do

564
00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:36,280
Speaker 1: you think maybe that that that evaluation happened in he

565
00:27:36,359 --> 00:27:39,160
Speaker 1: was with the Eagles, right, that evaluation was helped or

566
00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:41,440
Speaker 1: the player that he was with the Eagles is maybe

567
00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:42,960
Speaker 1: a little bit better because he had a guy like

568
00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:46,000
Speaker 1: Fletcher Cox there with him on that in the interior

569
00:27:46,040 --> 00:27:49,359
Speaker 1: that defensive line. Absolutely sure. I mean, that's fair. I sold.

570
00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:52,800
Speaker 1: I was another guy too, Benny Logan. Yeah right, yeah,

571
00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:55,359
Speaker 1: Benny Logan. The Eagles have a really and have had

572
00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:57,719
Speaker 1: a really good front for a while, almost forever as

573
00:27:57,760 --> 00:28:00,199
Speaker 1: long as I can remember. I was talking to an

574
00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:03,560
Speaker 1: Eagles fan last night, just kind of bs and about football.

575
00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:06,000
Speaker 1: I was like, Fletcher Cox is one of the most

576
00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:08,000
Speaker 1: underrated players in the league. In the same I mean,

577
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:10,600
Speaker 1: I know, people know who he is, but he's not

578
00:28:10,760 --> 00:28:13,879
Speaker 1: like this household name considering how good he really like,

579
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:16,520
Speaker 1: he's a monster? Was that the same draft? Draft is Mo?

580
00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:20,240
Speaker 1: I want to say, so, yeah, twenty twelve have gotten Mo.

581
00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:22,879
Speaker 1: Maybe he could have got him, but yeah, where do

582
00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:25,040
Speaker 1: you go like nine eight or nothing like that. I

583
00:28:25,040 --> 00:28:27,840
Speaker 1: don't remember off the top. One I know Mike Brockers

584
00:28:27,920 --> 00:28:30,120
Speaker 1: is the guy people always linked to the Cowboys because

585
00:28:30,119 --> 00:28:32,960
Speaker 1: he went in the slot the Cowboys originally had. But

586
00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:36,040
Speaker 1: and he's been pretty good too, not on been okay

587
00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:41,200
Speaker 1: on Cox Cox? Yeah, round one pick twelve twelve could

588
00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:45,240
Speaker 1: have thank you could have had him. Yeah. Sorry, it's

589
00:28:45,520 --> 00:28:48,480
Speaker 1: over the Google. Huh, it's all over the Google. Yah. Yeah,

590
00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:50,040
Speaker 1: but yeah, I mean or you know what, or he

591
00:28:50,120 --> 00:28:55,880
Speaker 1: maybe he knew. I don't know. It's possible memorize every draft, Okay, yeah,

592
00:28:55,920 --> 00:28:58,200
Speaker 1: and you know it's not a coincidence that the best

593
00:28:58,280 --> 00:29:01,640
Speaker 1: year DeMarcus Lawrence's career happen when Greg Hardy was eating

594
00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:05,200
Speaker 1: up everybody's attention on the other side too, So I mean, true,

595
00:29:05,240 --> 00:29:08,120
Speaker 1: who you play with matters. And you know, I'm not

596
00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:11,840
Speaker 1: ready to bury Cedric Thornton. I don't either, But yeah,

597
00:29:11,880 --> 00:29:13,600
Speaker 1: I don't know that he's lived up to the contract

598
00:29:13,640 --> 00:29:16,080
Speaker 1: that he got yet. There wasn't a huge contract, no

599
00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:18,840
Speaker 1: right now. I mean it's a fairly modest free agent contract.

600
00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:23,520
Speaker 1: What defensive lineman has lived up to the contract slash

601
00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:27,200
Speaker 1: expectations that they have? I mean DeMarcus Lawrence hasn't really yet,

602
00:29:27,680 --> 00:29:32,080
Speaker 1: Tyrone Crawford hasn't. So I'll beat that drum all day long.

603
00:29:32,160 --> 00:29:35,720
Speaker 1: Like you cannot blame the Cowboys for trying. They definitely

604
00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:37,600
Speaker 1: have tried. Oh They've thrown a lot at it. It

605
00:29:37,720 --> 00:29:40,640
Speaker 1: just hasn't worked out for whatever reason. And some of

606
00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:43,000
Speaker 1: that's their fault. A lot of that's their fault. They

607
00:29:42,840 --> 00:29:46,800
Speaker 1: may they may be starting to see one in MALIEK.

608
00:29:46,840 --> 00:29:49,680
Speaker 1: Collins that will actually pan out to be better than

609
00:29:49,680 --> 00:29:51,800
Speaker 1: what they thought he was because where they drafted him.

610
00:29:51,880 --> 00:29:54,320
Speaker 1: He seems like he's going to play above that. Well.

611
00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:57,920
Speaker 1: DeMarcus Lawrence yesterday had a couple of moves in practice.

612
00:29:58,240 --> 00:30:02,160
Speaker 1: He was killing alcohol. He was that. You're like, well,

613
00:30:02,760 --> 00:30:06,600
Speaker 1: if if maybe Lyle's gonna struggle, but if this is, yeah,

614
00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:08,239
Speaker 1: I doubt it. But if this is a you know,

615
00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:11,120
Speaker 1: DeMarcus Lawrence is ready to turn the corner. He did

616
00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:13,560
Speaker 1: it to tire and yesterday too, like he kicked everybody's

617
00:30:13,600 --> 00:30:16,320
Speaker 1: But yesterday he looked really good. Yeah, he's looking a

618
00:30:16,360 --> 00:30:19,600
Speaker 1: lot more fluid. I mean he's got I don't know,

619
00:30:19,640 --> 00:30:21,320
Speaker 1: I don't know if he's lost weight or something, but

620
00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:24,560
Speaker 1: it just seems a lot more agile. It will be interesting.

621
00:30:24,600 --> 00:30:26,320
Speaker 1: This is this is the first time that he'll have

622
00:30:26,840 --> 00:30:29,560
Speaker 1: entire offseason and we'll start the season since he's been

623
00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:33,160
Speaker 1: with the Cowboys. So maybe that matters. Wow, good stad,

624
00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:35,080
Speaker 1: I mean, you're right. I'm just saying that maybe that

625
00:30:35,120 --> 00:30:37,080
Speaker 1: matters a little bit. And when you're talking about a

626
00:30:37,120 --> 00:30:39,200
Speaker 1: guy that you know, if he's going to turn the corner,

627
00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:41,120
Speaker 1: this is a good time to do it right, right

628
00:30:41,160 --> 00:30:43,320
Speaker 1: in time for Payday. There you go, There you go.

629
00:30:43,360 --> 00:30:44,600
Speaker 1: All right, let's go to the phone. We've got a

630
00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:47,960
Speaker 1: call from Tony and el passol Tony, what up? Hey?

631
00:30:47,960 --> 00:30:50,720
Speaker 1: Good are you. I'm a big fan of the show,

632
00:30:50,760 --> 00:30:53,480
Speaker 1: but I just want to ask a question. Who calls

633
00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:56,920
Speaker 1: the defensive place on the money downs, like on first

634
00:30:56,960 --> 00:31:00,920
Speaker 1: and third downs? Who calls a defensive place? I mean

635
00:31:02,120 --> 00:31:04,640
Speaker 1: Rod Marinelli? Other than Rod, are you talking around on

636
00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:07,360
Speaker 1: the you're talking abound on the field. Yeah, Like say

637
00:31:07,360 --> 00:31:09,680
Speaker 1: it's certain night, who calls the places? I don't like

638
00:31:09,760 --> 00:31:15,520
Speaker 1: the defensive coordinator is um probably gonna be Sean Lee.

639
00:31:15,600 --> 00:31:18,480
Speaker 1: And Sean Lee's the one with the mike in his helmet. Yeah,

640
00:31:18,880 --> 00:31:22,840
Speaker 1: he asks asking the player that relaying like no, no, no,

641
00:31:23,240 --> 00:31:25,720
Speaker 1: when you're saying, you're saying called actually calls the plays,

642
00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:27,320
Speaker 1: and that would be the coach. That would be the

643
00:31:27,360 --> 00:31:30,160
Speaker 1: defensive coordinator, Rod Mirrnelli, you're talking about that. You're not

644
00:31:30,160 --> 00:31:31,920
Speaker 1: talking about the player on the field that relays the

645
00:31:31,960 --> 00:31:34,120
Speaker 1: play right or makes any che I'm talking about like

646
00:31:34,160 --> 00:31:40,400
Speaker 1: say Thurday, nay that decision, Rod Marinelli, Rod Mirrinelli. Okay, Um,

647
00:31:41,400 --> 00:31:43,200
Speaker 1: I would like to see his bitch on money downs

648
00:31:43,240 --> 00:31:45,959
Speaker 1: like first and third downs. A lot more. And um,

649
00:31:46,520 --> 00:31:48,840
Speaker 1: I just want to say, you know what, I like

650
00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:51,560
Speaker 1: having miss I see on the show because me being

651
00:31:51,600 --> 00:31:54,760
Speaker 1: Mexican American, I've seen you on Derek and Me and

652
00:31:54,880 --> 00:31:56,840
Speaker 1: you know, white America right there with the white guys.

653
00:31:56,880 --> 00:31:59,200
Speaker 1: But finally see someone of Latin descent on the show.

654
00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:05,920
Speaker 1: Care about all right, thanks, we appreciate the call you

655
00:32:06,040 --> 00:32:11,240
Speaker 1: got fans. Okay you about Mexico. Okay, go Mexico. Yeah,

656
00:32:11,360 --> 00:32:14,360
Speaker 1: I know what that means. I know that means. I

657
00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:17,880
Speaker 1: know what that means. Rod Marinelli, if what did he say?

658
00:32:18,040 --> 00:32:19,800
Speaker 1: Did you say I've seen the white guys on the

659
00:32:19,880 --> 00:32:24,040
Speaker 1: show before? Now he said, actually said white America. I

660
00:32:24,040 --> 00:32:26,200
Speaker 1: think you said white America. Yeah, he said, you would nate.

661
00:32:26,320 --> 00:32:29,640
Speaker 1: But then mainly in other words, it's two brothers diverse,

662
00:32:29,800 --> 00:32:32,200
Speaker 1: and it's a lot of white America. And then we

663
00:32:32,360 --> 00:32:39,760
Speaker 1: got finally they got a Latina. Yea, Kent is so

664
00:32:39,960 --> 00:32:43,880
Speaker 1: clutch with the job. If the cowboys are blitzing, it

665
00:32:44,040 --> 00:32:48,000
Speaker 1: means Rod Marinelli is like absolutely desperate because what he

666
00:32:48,160 --> 00:32:49,800
Speaker 1: wants to do isn't working. I don't know if I

667
00:32:49,880 --> 00:32:52,440
Speaker 1: agree with that, because we have seen him use that

668
00:32:52,560 --> 00:32:55,040
Speaker 1: corner blitz quite a bit, right, He likes that he

669
00:32:55,160 --> 00:32:58,800
Speaker 1: does like corner, he prefers to get pressure with his

670
00:32:58,920 --> 00:33:01,200
Speaker 1: front four. That's what he wants to do. So if

671
00:33:01,240 --> 00:33:04,440
Speaker 1: he's called if linebackers are blitzing, that means the front

672
00:33:04,480 --> 00:33:06,960
Speaker 1: four is getting its butt kicked. I mean that's so.

673
00:33:07,360 --> 00:33:10,240
Speaker 1: I mean he's willing to do it. I mean Sean

674
00:33:10,360 --> 00:33:12,920
Speaker 1: Lee's blitz before, but they're not. They're not the best

675
00:33:13,200 --> 00:33:15,880
Speaker 1: blitzing team anyway, Like when they try to do it.

676
00:33:15,920 --> 00:33:17,760
Speaker 1: There's there are times they try to do it in games,

677
00:33:17,840 --> 00:33:20,080
Speaker 1: and the reason people don't notice is because it doesn't

678
00:33:20,120 --> 00:33:25,640
Speaker 1: work right. I would just and that's I love the ben,

679
00:33:25,800 --> 00:33:28,840
Speaker 1: but don't break like clog and cover. Give me a

680
00:33:28,920 --> 00:33:31,360
Speaker 1: three man front and six defensive back because I think

681
00:33:31,440 --> 00:33:33,080
Speaker 1: that's your best chance of getting a stop. I know

682
00:33:33,160 --> 00:33:35,880
Speaker 1: it's not fun, it's not you're not. It doesn't generate

683
00:33:35,920 --> 00:33:38,840
Speaker 1: a ton of sacks, but that's the strength and I

684
00:33:39,400 --> 00:33:41,840
Speaker 1: preferably maybe with these new guys here, maybe they can

685
00:33:41,880 --> 00:33:43,840
Speaker 1: get their hands on some footballs. Holding a team to

686
00:33:43,880 --> 00:33:46,959
Speaker 1: three points with this offense is a win. Like if

687
00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:49,200
Speaker 1: the defense goes out and they're regularly holding teams to

688
00:33:49,320 --> 00:33:52,480
Speaker 1: fuel goals and you're playing against the Cowboys, offense. They're

689
00:33:52,520 --> 00:33:54,680
Speaker 1: gonna win more games than they're gonna lose. So I

690
00:33:54,800 --> 00:33:56,960
Speaker 1: think that I agree with you. I think you just

691
00:33:57,360 --> 00:33:59,840
Speaker 1: based upon how you play the team concept of football.

692
00:34:00,160 --> 00:34:02,720
Speaker 1: I think that that brand of football is probably better

693
00:34:02,760 --> 00:34:05,040
Speaker 1: than taking a lot of chances and possibly given up

694
00:34:05,080 --> 00:34:08,440
Speaker 1: big plays. About blitzing, I completely agree. And I just

695
00:34:09,080 --> 00:34:11,960
Speaker 1: if the personnel was better than I'd feel, maybe i'd

696
00:34:11,960 --> 00:34:14,000
Speaker 1: feel better about it. But I think the strength of

697
00:34:14,120 --> 00:34:17,799
Speaker 1: this team is that is claug and cover. Let him

698
00:34:17,840 --> 00:34:20,080
Speaker 1: have eight yards but not ten. I mean, that's and

699
00:34:20,239 --> 00:34:22,640
Speaker 1: we saw at work all last year. Ye all right,

700
00:34:22,680 --> 00:34:23,960
Speaker 1: let's go back to the phonone. We get a call

701
00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:27,680
Speaker 1: from Isaac and Houston. Isaac, what you got Hey, guys,

702
00:34:27,760 --> 00:34:30,600
Speaker 1: good morning, quick question for you. I know this question

703
00:34:30,680 --> 00:34:33,000
Speaker 1: will be based on projections and things like that, but

704
00:34:33,080 --> 00:34:37,080
Speaker 1: based upon all of last season, does this draft class

705
00:34:37,160 --> 00:34:39,839
Speaker 1: have the potential to be one of the best draft

706
00:34:39,880 --> 00:34:43,200
Speaker 1: class that the Cowboys have ever had? Obviously, Jalen Smith

707
00:34:43,320 --> 00:34:48,280
Speaker 1: is a projection, but Anthony Brown, Dak Prescott, the complete Collins.

708
00:34:48,600 --> 00:34:52,239
Speaker 1: You're talking about a couple of already all pros and

709
00:34:52,400 --> 00:34:54,719
Speaker 1: potentially some more Pro bowlers. So I'll hang up a

710
00:34:54,800 --> 00:34:57,399
Speaker 1: listen to your answer. All right, thanks for the call. First,

711
00:34:57,440 --> 00:34:59,799
Speaker 1: I was I thought he was saying this class, yeah,

712
00:35:00,120 --> 00:35:02,000
Speaker 1: like to just got drafted, And I was like, wow, No,

713
00:35:02,160 --> 00:35:03,520
Speaker 1: I don't think none of them are even I don't

714
00:35:03,520 --> 00:35:05,160
Speaker 1: think we've seen that yet. Yeah, we haven't seen it.

715
00:35:05,280 --> 00:35:07,640
Speaker 1: But yeah, I guess going back to last year, do

716
00:35:07,719 --> 00:35:09,680
Speaker 1: you think that that could be? Nick, you know, the

717
00:35:09,760 --> 00:35:11,879
Speaker 1: history of this team probably better than you're not gonna

718
00:35:11,880 --> 00:35:14,960
Speaker 1: beat in nineteen sixty four. So just you're just battling

719
00:35:15,040 --> 00:35:17,680
Speaker 1: for a second. Yeah, unless unless there's three Hall of

720
00:35:17,719 --> 00:35:20,640
Speaker 1: famers on this class, which I had a good luck

721
00:35:20,880 --> 00:35:23,319
Speaker 1: throw out sixty four for me, Like who all isn't there?

722
00:35:23,440 --> 00:35:27,480
Speaker 1: It's just it's just Bob Hayes, mel Renfro, and Roger Stauback.

723
00:35:27,600 --> 00:35:31,520
Speaker 1: Yeah that's pretty good. Yeah, that is pretty good. And

724
00:35:31,600 --> 00:35:35,040
Speaker 1: it was. It was a great draft because, yeah, because

725
00:35:35,160 --> 00:35:38,360
Speaker 1: all three of those picks were a risky mel Renfro

726
00:35:38,480 --> 00:35:40,759
Speaker 1: didn't really play defense. He played, you know, he was

727
00:35:40,800 --> 00:35:43,040
Speaker 1: an offensive player and he ran track and he was fast,

728
00:35:43,080 --> 00:35:44,680
Speaker 1: and they thought they could make him a defensive back

729
00:35:44,719 --> 00:35:46,839
Speaker 1: and they did ten years, ten years or ten time

730
00:35:46,880 --> 00:35:49,920
Speaker 1: Pro Bowl safety in corner larger Strauback was going to

731
00:35:50,120 --> 00:35:51,960
Speaker 1: be in the Navy for the next few years, but

732
00:35:52,200 --> 00:35:54,279
Speaker 1: maybe when he comes back he could be ready to play.

733
00:35:54,320 --> 00:35:56,640
Speaker 1: And he was pretty good to play. Yeah, and then

734
00:35:56,880 --> 00:35:58,960
Speaker 1: Bob Hayes was just a sprinter. They thought, well, maybe

735
00:35:58,960 --> 00:36:00,680
Speaker 1: he could be a receiver and maybe he changed the game.

736
00:36:01,120 --> 00:36:03,800
Speaker 1: Did he play football? Like, was this a situation similar

737
00:36:03,840 --> 00:36:05,719
Speaker 1: to Rico Gathers. We hadn't played football in a long

738
00:36:05,800 --> 00:36:07,560
Speaker 1: time and he was just a sprinter. I know he

739
00:36:07,640 --> 00:36:10,440
Speaker 1: was an Olympic sprinter. Correct. Uh, yeah, he was an

740
00:36:10,480 --> 00:36:12,480
Speaker 1: Olympic sprinter. I don't know if he played at Florida

741
00:36:12,480 --> 00:36:14,799
Speaker 1: A and N. I can ask Mickey and Brian if

742
00:36:14,840 --> 00:36:18,680
Speaker 1: they covered him, but I didn't. They're like ten years

743
00:36:18,680 --> 00:36:22,120
Speaker 1: older than me. But I like seeing that. Yeah, I mean, okay,

744
00:36:22,320 --> 00:36:24,919
Speaker 1: that's a fantastic point. But I'll play the other side

745
00:36:24,960 --> 00:36:27,239
Speaker 1: of that. And now I'm gonna project the hell out

746
00:36:27,280 --> 00:36:31,040
Speaker 1: of it. But I mean, based on one year, you're

747
00:36:31,120 --> 00:36:35,680
Speaker 1: talking franchise, a franchise quarterback, a franchise running back. Guys

748
00:36:35,760 --> 00:36:38,560
Speaker 1: that have the potential. Yeah, I'm not saying they will be,

749
00:36:38,840 --> 00:36:41,040
Speaker 1: but guys that have the potential to be Ring of

750
00:36:41,080 --> 00:36:44,040
Speaker 1: Honor caliber players. There's yeah, there's no doubt definitely ring

751
00:36:44,080 --> 00:36:47,840
Speaker 1: of honor, but a a starter for the foreseeable future.

752
00:36:48,120 --> 00:36:51,440
Speaker 1: Two starters with an S and for the foreseeable future,

753
00:36:51,480 --> 00:36:54,560
Speaker 1: and MALIEK. Collins and Anthony Brown the league, I think

754
00:36:54,920 --> 00:36:56,400
Speaker 1: has all the potential in the world to be a

755
00:36:56,440 --> 00:37:00,400
Speaker 1: Pro Bowl caliber player. Jalen Smith, I mean yeah, I

756
00:37:00,440 --> 00:37:02,640
Speaker 1: mean talk about said he's a Hall of Famer. I

757
00:37:02,719 --> 00:37:05,319
Speaker 1: know that's a ring of vanna. Guy, I'm I'm saying

758
00:37:05,680 --> 00:37:09,239
Speaker 1: future starter. I feel comfortable projecting that. I really don't

759
00:37:09,280 --> 00:37:13,040
Speaker 1: feel comfortable going any further. But even Okay, so two

760
00:37:13,160 --> 00:37:16,560
Speaker 1: franchise cornerstones and three starters in the same draft class,

761
00:37:16,600 --> 00:37:18,440
Speaker 1: and that does I mean, who knows it could be

762
00:37:18,600 --> 00:37:20,640
Speaker 1: really good. I mean the caller is not wrong. I

763
00:37:20,760 --> 00:37:22,719
Speaker 1: just threw out the sixty four. Yeah, it's hard to

764
00:37:22,719 --> 00:37:24,160
Speaker 1: be sixty four. That might be the best draft to

765
00:37:24,200 --> 00:37:28,080
Speaker 1: history of the NFL. It was a really great draft

766
00:37:28,239 --> 00:37:31,000
Speaker 1: for the Cowboys for what they needed and what became

767
00:37:31,200 --> 00:37:34,680
Speaker 1: cornerstone players. You got Troy Aitman, you had Darryl Johnston,

768
00:37:35,280 --> 00:37:39,160
Speaker 1: h Mark Stepnoski, and Tony Tilbert. I mean Jerry Jones

769
00:37:39,680 --> 00:37:42,239
Speaker 1: and Jimmy Johnson come out of the gate and say

770
00:37:42,320 --> 00:37:45,360
Speaker 1: here's our first four picks as in the NFL and

771
00:37:45,480 --> 00:37:48,160
Speaker 1: it's these four guys. So that was pretty good. It

772
00:37:48,320 --> 00:37:50,960
Speaker 1: wasn't better than sixty four? No, no, not better what

773
00:37:50,960 --> 00:37:55,640
Speaker 1: I'm saying. So you're right, man, I mean, if Jalen

774
00:37:55,719 --> 00:37:58,400
Speaker 1: Smith is a great player, I think Leigue's gonna be

775
00:37:58,400 --> 00:38:00,520
Speaker 1: a great player. It all comes down to twenty one.

776
00:38:01,160 --> 00:38:04,160
Speaker 1: You know what, what does he do? Is he a

777
00:38:04,239 --> 00:38:09,440
Speaker 1: guy that continues to have issues where he is always

778
00:38:09,480 --> 00:38:12,759
Speaker 1: going to be something that kind of limits him. I don't.

779
00:38:12,760 --> 00:38:15,120
Speaker 1: I don't know. That's I mean, that's that's the big

780
00:38:15,239 --> 00:38:18,920
Speaker 1: question right there. And also the quarterback, is he does

781
00:38:19,000 --> 00:38:21,800
Speaker 1: he become I mean, does he become Kaepernick and Robert Griffin?

782
00:38:22,239 --> 00:38:25,239
Speaker 1: Does he become Luck? Does he become Russell Wilson and

783
00:38:25,320 --> 00:38:29,319
Speaker 1: get better every year? We'll see if if last week

784
00:38:29,480 --> 00:38:32,880
Speaker 1: was any indication he's certainly get better. Not betting against

785
00:38:32,960 --> 00:38:37,400
Speaker 1: that guy. No, I mean, but sorry, but Zeke, I

786
00:38:37,440 --> 00:38:40,000
Speaker 1: don't know. I mean, it's so early, but I would

787
00:38:40,040 --> 00:38:43,440
Speaker 1: be surprised if from what I would be surprised if

788
00:38:43,480 --> 00:38:46,759
Speaker 1: he plays here as many seasons as like Emmett Smith did. Yeah, yeah,

789
00:38:47,400 --> 00:38:48,719
Speaker 1: I mean I don't think that. I don't think the

790
00:38:48,800 --> 00:38:52,360
Speaker 1: NFL's even work that way anymore. Yeah, so that's a

791
00:38:52,440 --> 00:38:54,480
Speaker 1: good question. I don't know. I mean, I will say this,

792
00:38:54,960 --> 00:38:57,840
Speaker 1: if he if he can manage to have all the

793
00:38:57,920 --> 00:39:01,520
Speaker 1: seasons that he has before that first contract, if all

794
00:39:01,560 --> 00:39:03,719
Speaker 1: those seasons are as good as last year. And I'm

795
00:39:03,760 --> 00:39:06,080
Speaker 1: not talking about statistically, I'm just saying he's that much

796
00:39:06,120 --> 00:39:08,200
Speaker 1: a part of the offense and is that productive in

797
00:39:08,280 --> 00:39:11,320
Speaker 1: the offense, I think he gets that next contract, and

798
00:39:11,680 --> 00:39:14,160
Speaker 1: if he continues to do it consistently, then I think

799
00:39:14,200 --> 00:39:16,440
Speaker 1: it can be one of those situations where you know,

800
00:39:16,680 --> 00:39:18,320
Speaker 1: that's one thing you know about Jerry, he is a

801
00:39:18,520 --> 00:39:21,000
Speaker 1: loyal guy. And if it's one of his guys, I

802
00:39:21,120 --> 00:39:24,160
Speaker 1: mean one of his really like his guys, and it's

803
00:39:24,160 --> 00:39:26,120
Speaker 1: a guy that's gonna at some point being the ring

804
00:39:26,200 --> 00:39:28,279
Speaker 1: of honor, they'll keep him around here, maybe a few

805
00:39:28,360 --> 00:39:30,800
Speaker 1: years past when they probably still in their prime. And

806
00:39:30,840 --> 00:39:32,680
Speaker 1: you know, we said this back, you know, when he

807
00:39:32,840 --> 00:39:35,920
Speaker 1: was a prospect before the draft, like, well, just just

808
00:39:36,040 --> 00:39:38,239
Speaker 1: run him into the ground for five years and get

809
00:39:38,320 --> 00:39:40,920
Speaker 1: walk away, walk away. But the other side of that,

810
00:39:41,280 --> 00:39:44,279
Speaker 1: he's so young. Even if he plays through his fifth

811
00:39:44,400 --> 00:39:47,080
Speaker 1: year option before he gets another contract, it will only

812
00:39:47,160 --> 00:39:50,239
Speaker 1: be twenty five so which is still really young, even

813
00:39:50,280 --> 00:39:52,719
Speaker 1: in running back terms. I mean, DeMarco Murray's still going

814
00:39:52,800 --> 00:39:54,920
Speaker 1: pretty good, and people were worried about giving him a

815
00:39:55,000 --> 00:39:57,040
Speaker 1: deal at like twenty seven or twenty eight. It's all

816
00:39:57,040 --> 00:39:58,680
Speaker 1: about do you take care of your body the right way.

817
00:39:58,719 --> 00:40:00,879
Speaker 1: It's all those things factory in I think, for running backs,

818
00:40:00,880 --> 00:40:02,960
Speaker 1: even more so than maybe the other positions. It's too

819
00:40:03,000 --> 00:40:05,279
Speaker 1: soon to say. I mean, yeah, maybe he'll be here

820
00:40:05,320 --> 00:40:07,880
Speaker 1: for thirteen years. It's too soon to say. It's interesting.

821
00:40:07,880 --> 00:40:10,640
Speaker 1: I mean, but the way that players, the way teams

822
00:40:10,680 --> 00:40:12,680
Speaker 1: handle running back is so much different than it was

823
00:40:12,760 --> 00:40:15,400
Speaker 1: when any other great running back played for the Cowboys.

824
00:40:15,840 --> 00:40:18,160
Speaker 1: I know this, and I've been for some reason the

825
00:40:18,239 --> 00:40:20,280
Speaker 1: last couple of days. I've been looking at the crowd,

826
00:40:20,560 --> 00:40:23,160
Speaker 1: you know, from where our spot is, and seeing the

827
00:40:23,320 --> 00:40:26,160
Speaker 1: jerseys and the T shirts, and they love this guy.

828
00:40:26,520 --> 00:40:28,719
Speaker 1: They love the fans love him, the kids love them.

829
00:40:29,040 --> 00:40:33,000
Speaker 1: They love Zeke, and I hope that, you know, for

830
00:40:33,160 --> 00:40:37,520
Speaker 1: everybody's sake, he figures it out because he's a fan favorite,

831
00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:42,760
Speaker 1: and you know, whatever's happened off the field, it hasn't

832
00:40:42,800 --> 00:40:45,320
Speaker 1: really deterred Cowboy fans. Now he's probably gonna go and

833
00:40:45,360 --> 00:40:49,000
Speaker 1: get booed every place he goes. Probably will yep. I

834
00:40:49,000 --> 00:40:51,080
Speaker 1: don't know that that's a lot different than any other time,

835
00:40:51,120 --> 00:40:55,040
Speaker 1: but get booed. But it'll also it'll like the moose

836
00:40:55,120 --> 00:40:59,640
Speaker 1: call and who the tight end for the Steelers? He yeah,

837
00:40:59,680 --> 00:41:02,160
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean like, oh yeah, I mean, And

838
00:41:02,280 --> 00:41:04,919
Speaker 1: I was like, you won't everyone able to see because

839
00:41:04,960 --> 00:41:06,279
Speaker 1: you won't even be able to tell if he's being

840
00:41:06,320 --> 00:41:10,680
Speaker 1: booed because people go so he just he's one of

841
00:41:10,760 --> 00:41:13,560
Speaker 1: those guys. He's like the Cowboys. He's like the Yankees.

842
00:41:13,840 --> 00:41:16,000
Speaker 1: You're gonna love him or you're gonna hate him. And

843
00:41:16,640 --> 00:41:18,640
Speaker 1: but there's a lot of cowboy fans that love him.

844
00:41:19,120 --> 00:41:22,040
Speaker 1: The only thing stopping that dude from ruling the world

845
00:41:22,160 --> 00:41:26,920
Speaker 1: is himself. Like it's yeah, hopefully he gets it figured out. Yep.

846

00:44:38,440 --> 00:44:41,200
Speaker 1: I wish I had a roster for them. I don't

909
00:44:41,200 --> 00:44:45,720
Speaker 1: need it. Let's go. Okay, Okay, okay, sure, all right, Derek,

910
00:44:45,760 --> 00:44:49,000
Speaker 1: you want to start? Sure? Why not? Um, Let's see

911
00:44:49,160 --> 00:44:53,560
Speaker 1: what position do you want? Just gotta throw it at Okay, cornerback, cornerback,

912
00:44:53,719 --> 00:44:57,480
Speaker 1: all right, I think that will be Orlando Scandrick, Nolan Carroll,

913
00:44:58,280 --> 00:45:06,439
Speaker 1: Jordan Lewis, cheetobay O Woozier, Anthony Brown. I'm at five,

914
00:45:06,680 --> 00:45:12,680
Speaker 1: Is that right? Uh? Duke Thomas and Marcus White. I

915
00:45:12,680 --> 00:45:14,680
Speaker 1: actually think they go long there and they go short

916
00:45:14,840 --> 00:45:18,319
Speaker 1: a long. Let's write these down like the seven seven seven.

917
00:45:18,480 --> 00:45:21,200
Speaker 1: We talked about this yesterday. I actually think that if

918
00:45:21,239 --> 00:45:22,799
Speaker 1: you got the game. That's why I'm a little bit

919
00:45:22,800 --> 00:45:25,400
Speaker 1: concerned about Xavier Woods is because I think that if

920
00:45:25,440 --> 00:45:28,920
Speaker 1: you're gonna go seven cornerbacks, knowing that Cheetohbay can can

921
00:45:28,960 --> 00:45:31,600
Speaker 1: flip to safety, now, that's kind of your your way

922
00:45:31,640 --> 00:45:33,759
Speaker 1: to do it. And that means he's probably the done

923
00:45:33,800 --> 00:45:38,560
Speaker 1: more Woods or Mark Quez White who's done more Mark

924
00:45:38,680 --> 00:45:40,520
Speaker 1: That's a good point. I mean as White has had

925
00:45:40,640 --> 00:45:44,120
Speaker 1: more good practices, But Xavier Woods is the author of

926
00:45:44,239 --> 00:45:47,080
Speaker 1: one of the best preseason performances on this whole team.

927
00:45:47,200 --> 00:45:49,319
Speaker 1: So yeah, I will say this, I think it's one

928
00:45:49,360 --> 00:45:50,759
Speaker 1: of the other. I don't think both of them make it.

929
00:45:50,960 --> 00:45:54,200
Speaker 1: One of the two of those guys makes it. At least,

930
00:45:54,640 --> 00:45:56,839
Speaker 1: if not both. You have him down for seven. Yeah,

931
00:45:56,920 --> 00:45:59,920
Speaker 1: let's go seven, all right, Evan Corners, Okay, I think

932
00:46:00,000 --> 00:46:03,200
Speaker 1: we'll go down on time thirty seconds for your nick. Okay,

933
00:46:05,480 --> 00:46:08,719
Speaker 1: we're long winded. Let's see us. Okay, let's go with

934
00:46:09,400 --> 00:46:16,040
Speaker 1: defensive tackle. Defensive tackle, uh, Cedric Thornton, Stephen Paia, um

935
00:46:18,280 --> 00:46:27,200
Speaker 1: Malie Collins. And that's it. Only three. Those are those

936
00:46:27,239 --> 00:46:29,520
Speaker 1: are my three guys that'll help me win my seven.

937
00:46:29,560 --> 00:46:31,440
Speaker 1: You guys are going to one outside the box with these.

938
00:46:31,760 --> 00:46:35,040
Speaker 1: I like it. Why not? Hey, it's fine. I understand

939
00:46:35,239 --> 00:46:38,000
Speaker 1: if there's a fourth he's on another team. That's a

940
00:46:38,239 --> 00:46:41,160
Speaker 1: that is a good point. We've seen them do that. Yeah,

941
00:46:41,800 --> 00:46:43,520
Speaker 1: but I don't want to do that. Just have an

942
00:46:43,600 --> 00:46:47,640
Speaker 1: open spot. So let's just go with three right now. Okay,

943
00:46:47,880 --> 00:46:52,840
Speaker 1: you got linebacker linebacker. I think they carry six. I

944
00:46:52,960 --> 00:46:58,240
Speaker 1: think it'll be Sean Lee, Anthony Hitchins, Justin Durant, Kyle Wilbur.

945
00:46:59,160 --> 00:47:03,040
Speaker 1: I'll throw Damian Wilson in there, and Jalen Smith he's

946
00:47:03,080 --> 00:47:05,120
Speaker 1: the sixth. I'm throwing Damien Wilson in there for the

947
00:47:05,160 --> 00:47:09,040
Speaker 1: time being. If something comes down with his legal situation

948
00:47:09,120 --> 00:47:12,480
Speaker 1: and he's suspended, then they would probably just hold on

949
00:47:12,560 --> 00:47:16,840
Speaker 1: to Mark Zacha. So you're you're cutting Zacha right now

950
00:47:16,960 --> 00:47:19,760
Speaker 1: as it stands, right now, assuming Damian Wilson is available.

951
00:47:22,000 --> 00:47:27,359
Speaker 1: Six shame, what a shame to cut that guy. But yeah,

952
00:47:27,600 --> 00:47:32,759
Speaker 1: it'll be fair, it'll be fine, all right, Derek, Yes,

953
00:47:33,080 --> 00:47:37,839
Speaker 1: defensive end, defensive end, all right? Um, I think they

954
00:47:38,160 --> 00:47:46,880
Speaker 1: keep DeMarcus Lawrence, Trown Crawford tackle, Charlton Benson, Mala, Charles

955
00:47:46,960 --> 00:47:54,440
Speaker 1: Tapper five out of dead air. I'm trying to I'm

956
00:47:54,480 --> 00:47:56,680
Speaker 1: trying to decide whether and I don't think they're gonna

957
00:47:56,680 --> 00:47:59,719
Speaker 1: cut Tapper. But I really like Demontre More. He's a

958
00:47:59,760 --> 00:48:02,719
Speaker 1: guy I think suspended, Remember suspended, that's true. He's good,

959
00:48:02,760 --> 00:48:04,480
Speaker 1: he don't but but you have to make a decision

960
00:48:04,520 --> 00:48:06,640
Speaker 1: once he comes back. It's only two games, right, so

961
00:48:07,760 --> 00:48:10,440
Speaker 1: Tapper can get through two games. But do you think

962
00:48:10,480 --> 00:48:12,320
Speaker 1: that they would cut Tapper even after two games? You

963
00:48:12,360 --> 00:48:13,880
Speaker 1: think they would cut him. I don't know you have

964
00:48:13,960 --> 00:48:15,840
Speaker 1: to cut him. You think you just go to ir

965
00:48:16,000 --> 00:48:19,800
Speaker 1: just follows one over there. No, let's be fair. It

966
00:48:19,840 --> 00:48:22,200
Speaker 1: won't just be him, It'll be somebody. I mean, something

967
00:48:22,320 --> 00:48:25,080
Speaker 1: happens in two games where it just kind of works

968
00:48:25,120 --> 00:48:27,640
Speaker 1: itself out, so you just would just go off because

969
00:48:27,680 --> 00:48:30,080
Speaker 1: here's the other guy didn't mention was David Irving, Irving

970
00:48:30,760 --> 00:48:33,640
Speaker 1: and more those two. It's somebody's somebody's got to go

971
00:48:33,719 --> 00:48:37,520
Speaker 1: out of that group. And it's interesting with with Tapper.

972
00:48:37,600 --> 00:48:40,040
Speaker 1: I mean, like we know that they want to see

973
00:48:40,120 --> 00:48:42,320
Speaker 1: him do well, but do they have the room for

974
00:48:42,400 --> 00:48:44,920
Speaker 1: it to keep him around going back out better than

975
00:48:44,960 --> 00:48:47,160
Speaker 1: these other guys. I don't think, going back to Nick's point,

976
00:48:47,239 --> 00:48:49,120
Speaker 1: what I mean, whether they bring on another guy or

977
00:48:49,280 --> 00:48:51,839
Speaker 1: keep Joey Ivy around or whatever. Demontre Moore can play

978
00:48:51,920 --> 00:48:54,440
Speaker 1: tackle too. He's another one of the eighty guys that

979
00:48:54,560 --> 00:48:56,720
Speaker 1: can play both. Really might to be able. He seems

980
00:48:56,719 --> 00:48:59,399
Speaker 1: like he's on the verge of outside linebacker. He's played

981
00:48:59,520 --> 00:49:01,759
Speaker 1: nickel tap cold at times in this training camp, like

982
00:49:01,880 --> 00:49:04,640
Speaker 1: when they have that package on the field. I'm just saying, no,

983
00:49:04,920 --> 00:49:06,800
Speaker 1: I'm not disputing it. I'm just saying he seems a

984
00:49:06,840 --> 00:49:08,760
Speaker 1: little light to think he's gonna do that during the season.

985
00:49:09,239 --> 00:49:11,920
Speaker 1: Demontre Moore is one of those funny guys where like

986
00:49:12,400 --> 00:49:15,120
Speaker 1: everything about him suggests that he's like a bubble guy.

987
00:49:15,280 --> 00:49:18,359
Speaker 1: I know we're going way over no good. He's he's

988
00:49:18,400 --> 00:49:21,640
Speaker 1: like a stone cold lock. Like just I'm like, he's

989
00:49:21,680 --> 00:49:24,919
Speaker 1: on this team. He's in their plans, especially during training,

990
00:49:25,040 --> 00:49:27,759
Speaker 1: especially with all the issues that they've had, and they said,

991
00:49:27,840 --> 00:49:29,919
Speaker 1: let's sign this guy, and they're like, well he's gonna

992
00:49:29,920 --> 00:49:34,480
Speaker 1: get suspended coach. Okay, So that mean he's obviously been

993
00:49:34,560 --> 00:49:37,360
Speaker 1: in their plans. He's he's here, and they'll do what

994
00:49:37,440 --> 00:49:39,480
Speaker 1: they gotta do to get him back on the roster. Yep,

995
00:49:39,840 --> 00:49:44,560
Speaker 1: let's go. You're ready for safety. That's what you're gonna

996
00:49:44,640 --> 00:49:48,080
Speaker 1: throw at me. You're correct. The only defensive spot we

997
00:49:48,560 --> 00:49:52,799
Speaker 1: haven't done yet. Safety, all right? Um, you only got

998
00:49:52,840 --> 00:50:00,680
Speaker 1: three Byron Jones, Jeff Heath Cavan and um Xavier Woods,

999
00:50:02,280 --> 00:50:06,319
Speaker 1: maybe Robert Blanton. Okay, So just so just I don't think.

1000
00:50:06,400 --> 00:50:08,759
Speaker 1: I don't think that's I think safety is the most

1001
00:50:08,920 --> 00:50:11,320
Speaker 1: one of the most interesting situations on this team. Do

1002
00:50:11,400 --> 00:50:14,279
Speaker 1: you like Blanton though? I don't. I don't, I don't,

1003
00:50:14,480 --> 00:50:18,520
Speaker 1: but I'm thinking about the coaching staff. Yeah, he's a

1004
00:50:18,600 --> 00:50:22,120
Speaker 1: special team's ace. He's he kinda he's similar to CJ's

1005
00:50:22,160 --> 00:50:23,920
Speaker 1: film and in the sense that that's how he's made

1006
00:50:23,960 --> 00:50:27,360
Speaker 1: his NFL career. He's gotten some opportunities to play safety,

1007
00:50:27,960 --> 00:50:31,320
Speaker 1: but mainly special teams. Jeff Heath has not done so

1008
00:50:31,600 --> 00:50:34,799
Speaker 1: much that he cannot play some on special teams because

1009
00:50:34,840 --> 00:50:38,440
Speaker 1: they're gonna rotate Cavan in there, the rotate Xavier Woods.

1010
00:50:38,520 --> 00:50:40,440
Speaker 1: Maybe if he can kind of step up a little bit,

1011
00:50:40,640 --> 00:50:42,960
Speaker 1: and I think that'll keep Jeff Heath on some of

1012
00:50:43,040 --> 00:50:46,600
Speaker 1: the special teams packages, so he's not completely losing Heath

1013
00:50:47,000 --> 00:50:50,160
Speaker 1: on special teams. Those are my four safeties. I would

1014
00:50:50,320 --> 00:50:52,520
Speaker 1: I would like that to be what they do. But

1015
00:50:52,640 --> 00:50:55,000
Speaker 1: I wonder if they like Blanton enough to keep a

1016
00:50:55,080 --> 00:50:57,520
Speaker 1: fifth safety. I don't think they would keep Blanton over

1017
00:50:57,680 --> 00:50:59,359
Speaker 1: the young guys, but I think they might. I think

1018
00:50:59,520 --> 00:51:03,520
Speaker 1: I think Thomas and Marquez White have been probably pushed

1019
00:51:03,600 --> 00:51:06,600
Speaker 1: Bland out the door. But you're not gonna keep eleven.

1020
00:51:06,800 --> 00:51:08,759
Speaker 1: But here's the question, though, if that's the case, really,

1021
00:51:08,800 --> 00:51:12,160
Speaker 1: if you're talking about four safeties, basically one of those

1022
00:51:12,239 --> 00:51:16,600
Speaker 1: guys has to go Marquez, Marquez or Duke Thomas, Which

1023
00:51:16,600 --> 00:51:18,120
Speaker 1: one of you guys, Which one of those guys you

1024
00:51:18,200 --> 00:51:20,799
Speaker 1: think right now stays and which one goes? I keep

1025
00:51:20,880 --> 00:51:24,719
Speaker 1: Duke Thomas. We actually we would keep Duke Thomas. I

1026
00:51:24,800 --> 00:51:27,520
Speaker 1: was a mail bad question today, Duke I think Duke

1027
00:51:27,560 --> 00:51:30,000
Speaker 1: has had the I think Duke has had the better

1028
00:51:30,120 --> 00:51:33,279
Speaker 1: camp over the course of the month, but Marquez has

1029
00:51:33,320 --> 00:51:37,160
Speaker 1: flashed a lot, and I'm I'm deferential to draft picks.

1030
00:51:37,200 --> 00:51:40,239
Speaker 1: They're on four year deals at the end of the day.

1031
00:51:40,560 --> 00:51:42,640
Speaker 1: I'm I think either one of them would probably a

1032
00:51:42,800 --> 00:51:46,719
Speaker 1: waivers though I would think clear waivers maybe. Maybe The

1033
00:51:46,880 --> 00:51:49,120
Speaker 1: thing about Mark Quez White though he looks the part.

1034
00:51:49,160 --> 00:51:51,400
Speaker 1: I mean, he's got really long arms and stuff, and

1035
00:51:51,560 --> 00:51:55,200
Speaker 1: he I think I'm more I'm more intrigued by what

1036
00:51:55,360 --> 00:51:57,800
Speaker 1: Mark Quez White could be in the future. But I

1037
00:51:57,840 --> 00:52:00,279
Speaker 1: think Duke Thomas has been better this month. I mean

1038
00:52:00,360 --> 00:52:03,239
Speaker 1: that's their call to make. Yeah, and they will. They'll

1039
00:52:03,280 --> 00:52:05,120
Speaker 1: think about it more long term than maybe we are

1040
00:52:05,200 --> 00:52:07,319
Speaker 1: as we can can sometimes be just thinking about who

1041
00:52:07,360 --> 00:52:09,359
Speaker 1: had the better can And it's smart to think about

1042
00:52:09,400 --> 00:52:13,040
Speaker 1: it long term because you know, Scandrick not trying to

1043
00:52:13,040 --> 00:52:15,600
Speaker 1: get him after me or anything, but because but he

1044
00:52:16,080 --> 00:52:18,360
Speaker 1: he can't have a whole lot of more years to go,

1045
00:52:19,040 --> 00:52:21,080
Speaker 1: you know, and you don't know about Nolan Carroll how

1046
00:52:21,120 --> 00:52:23,000
Speaker 1: long this is going to be. He doesn't look like

1047
00:52:23,080 --> 00:52:27,000
Speaker 1: a guy that's going to be here for several years. Okay, yeah, Okay,

1048
00:52:27,719 --> 00:52:32,560
Speaker 1: all right tight end. Who are you giving that too, Dave? Oh? Sorry,

1049
00:52:32,760 --> 00:52:36,080
Speaker 1: um for that's the least interesting spot for me. I

1050
00:52:36,160 --> 00:52:40,760
Speaker 1: am just it's done. Jason Witton, Jeff's, James Hannah, Jeff swimming,

1051
00:52:40,840 --> 00:52:43,799
Speaker 1: Rico gathers. I mean, we know Rico's hurt right now,

1052
00:52:43,960 --> 00:52:47,960
Speaker 1: and honestly, seeing I mean, concussions are never a trivial matter,

1053
00:52:48,120 --> 00:52:50,880
Speaker 1: but this one seems pretty bad because that Jason Garrett,

1054
00:52:51,160 --> 00:52:53,480
Speaker 1: he's done for the week, he's not practicing, he's not

1055
00:52:53,880 --> 00:52:56,560
Speaker 1: he don't think about seeing him against the Raiders and

1056
00:52:56,680 --> 00:52:59,200
Speaker 1: then at that point, I don't know. I guess you

1057
00:52:59,200 --> 00:53:01,000
Speaker 1: would want him to get then against Houston, but it's

1058
00:53:01,000 --> 00:53:03,680
Speaker 1: just going to depend on how healthy he is. I mean,

1059
00:53:03,840 --> 00:53:06,839
Speaker 1: he took a nasty shot from Cabon Fraser and that's

1060
00:53:07,440 --> 00:53:10,160
Speaker 1: how this whole thing started. So you know, I don't know,

1061
00:53:10,680 --> 00:53:12,120
Speaker 1: and I don't I don't know. I just kind of

1062
00:53:12,160 --> 00:53:14,120
Speaker 1: thinking out loud. But I mean, maybe if you need

1063
00:53:14,160 --> 00:53:16,040
Speaker 1: to put him on injured reserve, maybe you would only

1064
00:53:16,120 --> 00:53:18,640
Speaker 1: go with three tight ends. I don't I don't think

1065
00:53:18,719 --> 00:53:21,400
Speaker 1: that would happen. So I'm going to hold off on

1066
00:53:21,480 --> 00:53:23,360
Speaker 1: that until I hear more about it. So I'm saying for.

1067
00:53:24,200 --> 00:53:25,880
Speaker 1: But that would not saying that you want to got

1068
00:53:25,960 --> 00:53:28,800
Speaker 1: to be on injured reserve. But actually that would probably

1069
00:53:28,880 --> 00:53:33,760
Speaker 1: be a great scenario. Great from the standpoint of managing

1070
00:53:33,840 --> 00:53:35,719
Speaker 1: that position. It would be a great way to hold

1071
00:53:35,800 --> 00:53:38,520
Speaker 1: tight end. He probably is not ready to play a

1072
00:53:38,640 --> 00:53:41,080
Speaker 1: ton this year, right, you had one more year to

1073
00:53:41,160 --> 00:53:43,480
Speaker 1: count of red shirt him. It's probably a good thing,

1074
00:53:43,719 --> 00:53:46,600
Speaker 1: and then by next year you're you would think that

1075
00:53:46,719 --> 00:53:49,360
Speaker 1: maybe he's a little more prepared for it. I disagree

1076
00:53:49,520 --> 00:53:51,560
Speaker 1: you actually think he's ready to play. No, No, I

1077
00:53:51,640 --> 00:53:53,560
Speaker 1: just I just think you're thinking of it from a

1078
00:53:53,600 --> 00:53:56,200
Speaker 1: standpoint of that he needs another year. But if you're

1079
00:53:56,239 --> 00:53:59,000
Speaker 1: putting him on some kind of injured reserve, he doesn't

1080
00:53:59,080 --> 00:54:03,000
Speaker 1: practice for He needs to be practicing practicing. I'm only

1081
00:54:03,080 --> 00:54:05,399
Speaker 1: putting him on injured reserve if the concussion is really

1082
00:54:05,560 --> 00:54:08,200
Speaker 1: that serious. Otherwise I want him out there practicing. That'd

1083
00:54:08,239 --> 00:54:11,879
Speaker 1: be a pretty serious concussion, and that's you know, I'm

1084
00:54:12,719 --> 00:54:14,680
Speaker 1: maybe he needs to hang it up because if it's

1085
00:54:14,719 --> 00:54:18,160
Speaker 1: that Crosby was out for a long a really long

1086
00:54:18,239 --> 00:54:20,520
Speaker 1: time with a concussion, I don't know. I mean, yeah,

1087
00:54:20,640 --> 00:54:24,120
Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's a different sport. I'm again really

1088
00:54:24,640 --> 00:54:28,120
Speaker 1: as far as the hits word. We're in. We're way

1089
00:54:28,280 --> 00:54:30,680
Speaker 1: deep into speculation. I'm not saying that's going to happen.

1090
00:54:30,960 --> 00:54:34,799
Speaker 1: I'm just again thinking I'm surprised there's not more concussions

1091
00:54:34,800 --> 00:54:39,239
Speaker 1: in that sport than than football, because because I don't,

1092
00:54:39,600 --> 00:54:41,600
Speaker 1: I don't pay close enough attention. I don't either, But

1093
00:54:41,680 --> 00:54:44,200
Speaker 1: I'm just I just know that, you know, there's different

1094
00:54:44,280 --> 00:54:46,440
Speaker 1: you know, there's grass, there's field, turf and all that

1095
00:54:47,320 --> 00:54:51,000
Speaker 1: in some soft at times, it's always the same in hockey,

1096
00:54:51,120 --> 00:54:54,800
Speaker 1: and it's always pretty hard. Assuming, I mean, assuming Rico's

1097
00:54:54,840 --> 00:54:57,120
Speaker 1: okay in the long, you know, in the next couple

1098
00:54:57,160 --> 00:55:01,440
Speaker 1: of weeks, which I think is a reasonable assumption. Four No,

1099
00:55:01,800 --> 00:55:05,800
Speaker 1: this should have been five seconds. It's four. Yeah, I

1100
00:55:05,840 --> 00:55:08,960
Speaker 1: needless to say. He's staying here. However, whatever they got

1101
00:55:09,040 --> 00:55:12,040
Speaker 1: wherever they put him here, it's not going anywhere. It's

1102
00:55:12,040 --> 00:55:15,920
Speaker 1: not a debate. Derek quarterback quarterback, all right. I think

1103
00:55:16,000 --> 00:55:18,960
Speaker 1: it will be Dak Prescott. I think it will be

1104
00:55:20,040 --> 00:55:22,359
Speaker 1: Um Kevin Moore, and I think he will be Cooper Rush.

1105
00:55:22,400 --> 00:55:26,040
Speaker 1: I think they carry three nick running back running back

1106
00:55:27,680 --> 00:55:32,920
Speaker 1: to start the season, Darren McFadden, Alfred Morris, uh Rod Smith,

1107
00:55:33,080 --> 00:55:37,600
Speaker 1: Keith Smith, so and then you have to figure out

1108
00:55:37,640 --> 00:55:40,359
Speaker 1: a spot when Zeke comes back, because I don't think

1109
00:55:40,400 --> 00:55:44,480
Speaker 1: those guys are gonna get cut. So somebody else is

1110
00:55:44,520 --> 00:55:47,360
Speaker 1: gonna stay, is gonna get cut from a different position,

1111
00:55:48,040 --> 00:55:50,560
Speaker 1: So you might go along at cornerback there and and

1112
00:55:50,719 --> 00:55:53,360
Speaker 1: you know for a couple of weeks or six or whatever.

1113
00:55:53,719 --> 00:55:56,200
Speaker 1: But you know he's not going to replace, in my opinion,

1114
00:55:56,360 --> 00:56:01,879
Speaker 1: one of those backs. Yeah, well maybe maybe Alfred Morris,

1115
00:56:02,960 --> 00:56:05,640
Speaker 1: maybe he could come back and be like, all right,

1116
00:56:05,719 --> 00:56:07,480
Speaker 1: he's our third back. I will say this, you're talking

1117
00:56:07,480 --> 00:56:09,839
Speaker 1: about if you're talking about six game suspension, by that point,

1118
00:56:10,040 --> 00:56:13,080
Speaker 1: you're almost halfway through the season. Yeah, so at that

1119
00:56:13,160 --> 00:56:14,400
Speaker 1: point you kind of know what you got in the

1120
00:56:14,440 --> 00:56:18,799
Speaker 1: other two. So maybe, yeah, you know, they could. That's true.

1121
00:56:18,920 --> 00:56:23,239
Speaker 1: That's true. Wide receiver. I want so badly for Noah

1122
00:56:23,280 --> 00:56:25,400
Speaker 1: Brown to be on this team. He's my He's a

1123
00:56:25,480 --> 00:56:28,520
Speaker 1: pet cat for sure. But I mean, I think Cooper

1124
00:56:28,600 --> 00:56:30,800
Speaker 1: Rush is on the team. I think Rico Gathers is

1125
00:56:30,840 --> 00:56:33,200
Speaker 1: on the team. I don't know how I'm keeping him.

1126
00:56:33,360 --> 00:56:36,359
Speaker 1: So I'm just going with the five. The five boring ones.

1127
00:56:37,400 --> 00:56:39,040
Speaker 1: Boring in the sense that we know who they are,

1128
00:56:39,160 --> 00:56:42,880
Speaker 1: ye not, They're all goods Terrence, Bryce Switzer, Beasley, Yes,

1129
00:56:44,239 --> 00:56:48,759
Speaker 1: well that's it. Offensive line that was. I left that

1130
00:56:48,920 --> 00:56:52,960
Speaker 1: one off just to kind of give it one each

1131
00:56:54,000 --> 00:56:56,400
Speaker 1: each talked about it earlier. I mean we think we

1132
00:56:56,800 --> 00:56:59,400
Speaker 1: think obviously the best thing, best case scenario, g like

1133
00:56:59,480 --> 00:57:01,520
Speaker 1: we said, is eight guys, right, if you can manage

1134
00:57:01,520 --> 00:57:03,279
Speaker 1: to If if sixty four can manage to be your

1135
00:57:03,520 --> 00:57:06,279
Speaker 1: Cooper can manage to be your starter, then you the

1136
00:57:06,360 --> 00:57:09,000
Speaker 1: other three guys you carry could also also play all

1137
00:57:09,040 --> 00:57:11,680
Speaker 1: the positions. So I think that's probably your best situation. Yeah,

1138
00:57:11,680 --> 00:57:14,920
Speaker 1: and I wouldn't rule out that there's another versatile lineman

1139
00:57:15,520 --> 00:57:17,479
Speaker 1: somewhere on the street better or not on the street.

1140
00:57:17,480 --> 00:57:21,080
Speaker 1: I'm sorry that'll get cut, that'll be better than Byron Bell.

1141
00:57:21,680 --> 00:57:23,959
Speaker 1: I don't think Byron Bell's a guy that they really

1142
00:57:24,960 --> 00:57:27,920
Speaker 1: have to keep on the team. I mean, his versatility

1143
00:57:28,040 --> 00:57:32,200
Speaker 1: is good, but but he's there's gotta be someone better

1144
00:57:32,280 --> 00:57:35,760
Speaker 1: than that. So it wouldn't surprise me if they mean

1145
00:57:35,840 --> 00:57:38,880
Speaker 1: Looney's on the team and and you know, Cooper I

1146
00:57:39,240 --> 00:57:41,800
Speaker 1: think would start, and they're gonna keep Jazz Green as well.

1147
00:57:41,840 --> 00:57:44,480
Speaker 1: But I think there's probably another guy that maybe could

1148
00:57:44,520 --> 00:57:47,080
Speaker 1: be better. Maybe, And I think they like him at

1149
00:57:47,120 --> 00:57:49,360
Speaker 1: Cleary a lot more than a lot of people do.

1150
00:57:49,560 --> 00:57:52,080
Speaker 1: I wouldn't. I would not be stunned if if they

1151
00:57:52,160 --> 00:57:54,160
Speaker 1: carried nine. It would surprise me if he was one

1152
00:57:54,200 --> 00:57:56,280
Speaker 1: of the eight, But if they carried nine, I wouldn't

1153
00:57:56,280 --> 00:57:59,000
Speaker 1: surprise me to see him. It's clear, yeah, last stupid.

1154
00:57:59,040 --> 00:58:01,200
Speaker 1: There's just not a young guy that that has really

1155
00:58:01,280 --> 00:58:03,680
Speaker 1: stepped up to make it. You know, there's not that

1156
00:58:04,240 --> 00:58:09,000
Speaker 1: I mean Burbank and Seaker, Speaker, Skipper that they just

1157
00:58:09,320 --> 00:58:12,360
Speaker 1: they haven't. There's there's probably gonna be a couple in

1158
00:58:12,400 --> 00:58:14,760
Speaker 1: the practice squad, yes, you know, and if you keep eight,

1159
00:58:15,040 --> 00:58:16,840
Speaker 1: you should have a couple in the practice squad. I mean,

1160
00:58:16,840 --> 00:58:18,400
Speaker 1: I think Dan Skipper is a guy that would be

1161
00:58:18,480 --> 00:58:20,760
Speaker 1: on your on your practice squad. He's so he's so

1162
00:58:20,960 --> 00:58:23,520
Speaker 1: big and tall, he's got a mean streak. He's kind

1163
00:58:23,560 --> 00:58:25,120
Speaker 1: of has to figure it out. But who better to

1164
00:58:25,200 --> 00:58:29,200
Speaker 1: help him get you know who? Who's better to help

1165
00:58:29,280 --> 00:58:32,280
Speaker 1: him than Mark Colombo who kind of played the same way.

1166
00:58:32,480 --> 00:58:36,920
Speaker 1: I think Seaker and Skipper are both really great practice

1167
00:58:36,920 --> 00:58:39,600
Speaker 1: squad candidates, assuming they clear waivers or whatever. But I

1168
00:58:39,640 --> 00:58:41,439
Speaker 1: wouldn't be surprised to see either one of them stick

1169
00:58:41,440 --> 00:58:43,960
Speaker 1: Aroun all right, that's the show. We appreciate you guys, Jonas.
