I 14 00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:55,760 Speaker 1: will answer one here in this first one. I'll get 15 00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:58,800 Speaker 1: started with that in just a second because it hits 16 00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:02,240 Speaker 1: with what we talk about when we start off Cowboys Storyline. 17 00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:06,399 Speaker 1: It is the storylines? What are the storylines? What is happening? 18 00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:11,440 Speaker 1: And there was some few things happening here today at practice, 19 00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:15,119 Speaker 1: some injuries. Injury's starting to pile up a little bit, 20 00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:18,959 Speaker 1: hopefully nothing severe as it stands right now as we 21 00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:25,000 Speaker 1: do this, Mazzie Smith had an MRI it sounds like 22 00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:28,399 Speaker 1: on his knee. Did not practice today. Cowboys wanted to 23 00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:32,640 Speaker 1: check that out, Hopefully they get good news there. Tyler 24 00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:36,720 Speaker 1: Battish Center. He rolled his ankle in the middle of practice. 25 00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:40,600 Speaker 1: He walked off, walked into the medical tent, came back, 26 00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:43,240 Speaker 1: did a few things, but not not a lot. They 27 00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:45,680 Speaker 1: they I think they held him out for the last 28 00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:49,240 Speaker 1: part of practice. I was. I saw him actually walking 29 00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:52,280 Speaker 1: around a little bit. I think I think he's okay. 30 00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:57,040 Speaker 1: Doctor Nick here don't know. I would hate to assume, 31 00:01:57,120 --> 00:02:00,760 Speaker 1: but it seemed like he was probably all right. Thomas 32 00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:04,680 Speaker 1: left practice and went to the came back, returned. David Durdin, 33 00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:09,440 Speaker 1: this guy's making some plays now. He's a rookie free 34 00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:14,000 Speaker 1: agent from West Florida. He had he's a former baseball player. 35 00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:17,480 Speaker 1: I think he's twenty five years old, twenty four years old, rookie, 36 00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:21,079 Speaker 1: but he's played in the Red Sox minor league system 37 00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:23,360 Speaker 1: for a couple of years, I believe, and he he 38 00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:26,840 Speaker 1: had a phenomenal catch that he got banged up on. 39 00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:30,800 Speaker 1: They checked him out, he didn't return to practice. Not 40 00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:34,760 Speaker 1: gonna say it's concussion like symptoms. Don't want to jump 41 00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:37,080 Speaker 1: the gun on that, but you know, he was banged 42 00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:38,640 Speaker 1: up pretty good. But it was a heck of a 43 00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:41,720 Speaker 1: catch and it had a lot of his teammates running 44 00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:44,440 Speaker 1: and jumping, and it was like an and one mixtape 45 00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:46,800 Speaker 1: wheel when someone dunks and the whole crowd goes dut. 46 00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:48,760 Speaker 1: So that's what that was like there. David Durton, he 47 00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:51,320 Speaker 1: has a couple of other diving catches. He's got really 48 00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:55,640 Speaker 1: really good hands. So some injuries, uh here for the 49 00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:58,800 Speaker 1: for the Cowboys, we'll see if if there was the 50 00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:01,480 Speaker 1: one to watch is certainly Mazie Smith. That's the one 51 00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:04,239 Speaker 1: that's got to keep an eye on there. Tony Pollard 52 00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:07,959 Speaker 1: is expected back Tuesday. This is today, expected back in 53 00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:13,480 Speaker 1: Auxnard four tomorrow's walk through practice. Whatever he's had, he's 54 00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:15,840 Speaker 1: left the last couple of days, had some personal issues 55 00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:20,000 Speaker 1: to take care of personal matter. He should be back at. 56 00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:22,880 Speaker 1: What this is doing is just opened up the game. 57 00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:27,880 Speaker 1: They opened up the backup runners, Malik Davis, Rico Davil, 58 00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:30,480 Speaker 1: Deuce Vaughan. They're getting a lot of carries here. Hunterd 59 00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:33,120 Speaker 1: Lifke's getting some carries because Pollard has been out and 60 00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:35,640 Speaker 1: Ronald Jones suffered a growing injury so he's been out. 61 00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:39,600 Speaker 1: So that's kind of where we stand there. And if 62 00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:43,640 Speaker 1: you if you're just keeping score at home, maybe Zach 63 00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:46,720 Speaker 1: Martin is actually keeping score because he is home in 64 00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:49,600 Speaker 1: his score right now, it looks like seven hundred and 65 00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:54,320 Speaker 1: fifty thousand dollars in fines. Not good at math, but 66 00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:57,560 Speaker 1: we counted fifteen days now that he is not reported 67 00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:01,400 Speaker 1: to Camp times fifty grand, seven hundred and fifty thousand, 68 00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:06,200 Speaker 1: three quarters of a million dollars. I hope he's making 69 00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:09,080 Speaker 1: this point. I don't know. I don't know what's happening there. 70 00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:10,920 Speaker 1: I love Zach Martin, I really do. I do not 71 00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:15,200 Speaker 1: understand that that's tough, but hopefully it's gonna end well 72 00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:20,480 Speaker 1: for him. It's hard when you're seven, seven fifty down, 73 00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:24,440 Speaker 1: seven fifty k down. So what's happening? Josh Ball's playing 74 00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:29,640 Speaker 1: a lot at right guard, and one of the things 75 00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:32,080 Speaker 1: that Mike McCarthy said to this press conference today was 76 00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:35,359 Speaker 1: that he has made the transition. He basically called Josh ballaguard. 77 00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:38,919 Speaker 1: He said he bends very, very very well for a 78 00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:41,720 Speaker 1: guy that's six's eight. That's always been my thing about 79 00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:43,440 Speaker 1: him playing guard is is can he get low enough? 80 00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:46,520 Speaker 1: Can he have leverage? And so far he's done a 81 00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:48,200 Speaker 1: pretty good job with that. And you know, when you 82 00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:50,080 Speaker 1: go up against MASSI, you go up against Hankets, you 83 00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:52,000 Speaker 1: go up against Oh so you're going up against some 84 00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:54,960 Speaker 1: pretty good d tackles. You're gonna get tested fairly well there. 85 00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:56,560 Speaker 1: So I want to see it in a game like 86 00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:00,040 Speaker 1: everyone does. But that's one thing to keep an eye on. 87 00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:02,600 Speaker 1: Josh Baul has continued to get a lot of work 88 00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:04,800 Speaker 1: there at right Guard. It looks like he's made that transition, 89 00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:08,359 Speaker 1: but I doubt he's gonna play. He could play well, 90 00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:10,719 Speaker 1: but it's gonna have to be really, really, really well 91 00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:15,280 Speaker 1: for anyone to be missing or not missing. Sorry, Zach Martin. 92 00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:17,200 Speaker 1: All right, we're gonna take a break.

You know, it just made a lot 175 00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:10,400 Speaker 9: easier to want to play for those guys, and it 176 00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:12,560 Speaker 9: put me in a situation where I can actually thrive 177 00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:14,960 Speaker 9: and you know, show you know people out there. 178 00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:15,760 Speaker 6: I could still ball. 179 00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:19,520 Speaker 1: You know, other positions, receivers, tight ends, corners, they draft 180 00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:21,480 Speaker 1: the first round pick at that position, and they want 181 00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:23,480 Speaker 1: to get a little salty about it, like what they 182 00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:25,840 Speaker 1: say about me. I have a feeling you weren't. You 183 00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:27,560 Speaker 1: weren't salty at all with that. 184 00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:31,560 Speaker 6: I did not mind. Honestly, I was actually happy. 185 00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:34,120 Speaker 9: I was a little surprised because you know, obviously I'm 186 00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:37,160 Speaker 9: Ohio state guy and he's a Michigan guy, and I'm like, bro, 187 00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:39,240 Speaker 9: I ain't really hear too much about this guy. But 188 00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:41,200 Speaker 9: once I went and you know, checked him out and 189 00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:43,679 Speaker 9: washing him, and then you know, seeing them in person, 190 00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:45,720 Speaker 9: I say, yeah, they got something special. 191 00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:47,440 Speaker 6: So I don't really. 192 00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:49,560 Speaker 9: Think, you know, me and him in the middle, whoeverard 193 00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:52,240 Speaker 9: the rotation may be, we ain't got to worry about 194 00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:55,679 Speaker 9: too much. But uh Bruh's definitely, you know, a good 195 00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:57,160 Speaker 9: selection that they made. 196 00:09:57,160 --> 00:10:00,240 Speaker 1: Back in the day. I think you're second, third, fourth 197 00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:03,559 Speaker 1: year when you were with the Giants. I'm sorry, I 198 00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:09,439 Speaker 1: don't even know. You gotta bring that, honestly. They yea 199 00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:14,960 Speaker 1: Damien Damien Harris. That's right, snack big snacks and you 200 00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:19,440 Speaker 1: two together. I mean, because that was Dak's rookie year 201 00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:22,199 Speaker 1: and they lost the first game, they won eleven in 202 00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:24,360 Speaker 1: a row, lost the and they lost to you guys 203 00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:27,200 Speaker 1: both times. Yeah, I mean there was something about that 204 00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:29,280 Speaker 1: middle there. I don't think Zeke loved running right right 205 00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:32,120 Speaker 1: through the middle. But the combination of two guys, like 206 00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:34,480 Speaker 1: you said, two really strong guys, what can that bring 207 00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:35,360 Speaker 1: this all? O? 208 00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:35,840 Speaker 3: Man? 209 00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:37,880 Speaker 9: It can bring a lot to this defense, especially on 210 00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:41,200 Speaker 9: first and second down, you know, putting offices and situations 211 00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:43,720 Speaker 9: they don't want to be in and uh where we 212 00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:46,920 Speaker 9: are actually comfortable and thriving. That so anything in the 213 00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:49,880 Speaker 9: second and long or you know, third and fifteen or 214 00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:52,600 Speaker 9: second and fifteen, we got another group of guys that's 215 00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:55,360 Speaker 9: ready to come in and you know, destroy these quarterbacks 216 00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:57,840 Speaker 9: and running back. So it kind of plays into our hand, 217 00:10:57,880 --> 00:10:59,679 Speaker 9: and that's that's what we're trying to do this year. 218 00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:03,440 Speaker 1: We fans are typically really smart of what's going on 219 00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:07,000 Speaker 1: with with all positions. But I think sometimes they kind 220 00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:09,160 Speaker 1: of forget defensive tackles aren't supposed to get a ton 221 00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:12,160 Speaker 1: of sacks. You know, three or four sacks is a 222 00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:16,040 Speaker 1: good season, but your second year seven sacks? Yeah, what 223 00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:18,240 Speaker 1: were you doing? I mean, what was going on here? 224 00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:18,760 Speaker 6: Man? 225 00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:22,320 Speaker 9: Really just just listening to the older guys and just 226 00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:24,280 Speaker 9: going out there and play. You know, at the time, 227 00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:27,719 Speaker 9: we had JPP Justin Tugg and you know I had 228 00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:30,680 Speaker 9: some you know, Culen Jenkins, Lanville Joseph. So I had 229 00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:33,640 Speaker 9: some some veterans around me that gave me the confidence 230 00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:35,800 Speaker 9: to go out there and beat myself in, you know, 231 00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:37,760 Speaker 9: show that just because we run stoppers, I don't mean 232 00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:40,040 Speaker 9: we can't to get to the quarterback or affect them. 233 00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:42,079 Speaker 6: And uh, you know, I just put it all there 234 00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:43,440 Speaker 6: out on the table, you know. 235 00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:47,360 Speaker 1: Awesome. Well, I've got some questions here from the fans, 236 00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:49,920 Speaker 1: and one of them they're gonna go right in. This 237 00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:53,920 Speaker 1: is going right in. Ask him if he's stronger than 238 00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:54,600 Speaker 1: Lozzie Smith. 239 00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:59,080 Speaker 9: No, No, we're close stronger than that guy here. When 240 00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:00,960 Speaker 9: it comes to the way, really I am not strong, 241 00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:04,040 Speaker 9: but you put me on the field, you know, football position, 242 00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:04,760 Speaker 9: good technique. 243 00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:06,839 Speaker 6: Yeah, I can now strengthen anybody in front of me. 244 00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:10,480 Speaker 1: Whether you've seen play out here or even in the 245 00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:12,760 Speaker 1: weight room, what have you seen from Mazie that you're like. 246 00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:16,679 Speaker 6: Oh, this guy warming up with three fifteen warming up. 247 00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:20,480 Speaker 9: That's usually, like my insaid when I'm dealing with my workouts. 248 00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:22,839 Speaker 9: So that right there just shows you how strong a 249 00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:24,120 Speaker 9: power over this guy is. 250 00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:26,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, let's go to some other questions here. 251 00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:29,160 Speaker 1: This one is from William Houses. He said, I love 252 00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:32,760 Speaker 1: Big Hank, been waiting on him for a player like 253 00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:35,200 Speaker 1: this on this team for years. My question, if you 254 00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:37,800 Speaker 1: can ask him, what's the most important attribute of being 255 00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:40,280 Speaker 1: able to hold up at the point attack? Size, strength 256 00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:41,800 Speaker 1: or maybe technique. 257 00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:45,440 Speaker 9: Technique and having good being in the knees and just 258 00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:48,440 Speaker 9: to understand and you know what kind of blocks you getting, 259 00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:50,760 Speaker 9: and then just going out there and bawling, you know, 260 00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:52,439 Speaker 9: I mean, you can't really think too much when you're 261 00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:54,600 Speaker 9: inside in the middle, especially when you're getting double team 262 00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:56,560 Speaker 9: a lot. But just going out there and playing, and 263 00:12:56,640 --> 00:12:58,160 Speaker 9: I'll be doing this for eleven years now. I can 264 00:12:58,200 --> 00:12:59,880 Speaker 9: pretty much close my eyes and play a block. 265 00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:04,720 Speaker 1: So Dave from South Texas who's your least favorite lineman 266 00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:08,360 Speaker 1: to go up against the camp and why he's probably 267 00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:08,760 Speaker 1: not here? 268 00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:12,960 Speaker 6: Is he? 269 00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:14,199 Speaker 1: Yeah? 270 00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:16,920 Speaker 9: Yeah, I didn't really you know, last year and practice 271 00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:21,160 Speaker 9: going against that guy. It's a handful, but surprisingly Tyres 272 00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:23,160 Speaker 9: smith Man, you know, sometimes when I get in a 273 00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:25,760 Speaker 9: two hours sometimes three technique and you get a down 274 00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:28,640 Speaker 9: block from that guy, that's like a a steal brick 275 00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:30,520 Speaker 9: kit you at times. So you know, I try to 276 00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:31,320 Speaker 9: stay away from him. 277 00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:33,880 Speaker 1: I feel like, you know, everyone wants to have the 278 00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:36,320 Speaker 1: left tackle of the future. I've said it several times. 279 00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:37,920 Speaker 1: I think he's a left guard because I think you 280 00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:40,800 Speaker 1: got to protect the middle, especially with your quarterback and 281 00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:43,280 Speaker 1: run the ball. You feel like he's a guard tackle 282 00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:44,760 Speaker 1: or he's just a baller he's just whatever. 283 00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:50,200 Speaker 6: Tyler smith Oh Man, he's just a baller man. 284 00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:52,280 Speaker 9: When you're getting guys like that to be able to 285 00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:57,280 Speaker 9: play inside and out both sides, both tackles. That guy's athletic, 286 00:13:57,400 --> 00:13:59,040 Speaker 9: you know what I mean, just the offensive line. He's 287 00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:02,320 Speaker 9: athletic as well. But it was nice to not seeing 288 00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:05,120 Speaker 9: him to day too as well. 289 00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:08,439 Speaker 1: Jake benois He says, do you remember battling anyone as 290 00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:10,840 Speaker 1: badass as Zach Martin, So I'll just kind of change it. 291 00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:15,600 Speaker 1: What what who is the best interior linement you've ever faced? 292 00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:18,320 Speaker 9: When I was with the Giants, when it was Frederick 293 00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:21,840 Speaker 9: who was the center, Travis Frederick, Travis Frederick, I had 294 00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:26,760 Speaker 9: Larry and just that whole office ND back and you 295 00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:29,120 Speaker 9: know when I was playing back in the day, it 296 00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:29,720 Speaker 9: was it was. 297 00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:30,280 Speaker 6: War out that. 298 00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:33,480 Speaker 9: Yeah, it wasn't no cupcake game for neither one of 299 00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:36,680 Speaker 9: our sides. So I'll probably say, Dallas. 300 00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:39,280 Speaker 1: All right, Dallas, that's good. That's what they're obviously trying 301 00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:41,760 Speaker 1: to trying to get back here. All right, So what 302 00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:45,160 Speaker 1: does your eleven? What does a preseason type thing look 303 00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:47,440 Speaker 1: like for you? Do you need some some reps? Do 304 00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:49,720 Speaker 1: you want some would you rather just say I'll go 305 00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:51,040 Speaker 1: up against the Giants for sure? 306 00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:52,800 Speaker 6: If they want me to go get some reps, I 307 00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:53,840 Speaker 6: go get them. You know what I mean. 308 00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:56,000 Speaker 9: I would never turn on any rep, especially if the 309 00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:58,200 Speaker 9: coach sevent to go out there and get him. But 310 00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:01,320 Speaker 9: obviously in practice I'm getting a ton of reps, getting 311 00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:02,120 Speaker 9: a lot of snaps. 312 00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:03,680 Speaker 6: So but you know, this being year. 313 00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:06,840 Speaker 9: Eleven, you know most guys won't want to play. But 314 00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:09,320 Speaker 9: thankfully we got a lot of good depth, a lot 315 00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:11,280 Speaker 9: of young guys. I need to actually get the reps 316 00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:14,480 Speaker 9: and show you know what they can do. So either 317 00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:15,520 Speaker 9: call it don't matter. 318 00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:18,080 Speaker 1: All right, So I'm going to translate. If you want 319 00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:20,600 Speaker 1: me to play, I'll play. But if you if it's 320 00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:21,120 Speaker 1: helmet or. 321 00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:24,640 Speaker 6: Some flowers all the time, all the time. 322 00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:27,840 Speaker 1: All right? Number eleven. He seems pretty good out there 323 00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:30,640 Speaker 1: rushing the passer, rushing left side, right side, up the middle. 324 00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:32,800 Speaker 1: When you have a guy that's as dominated as him, 325 00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:33,880 Speaker 1: this will be our last one. When you have a 326 00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:36,120 Speaker 1: guy dominated as him that can play so many things? 327 00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:38,720 Speaker 1: How how how does that change what you guys do? 328 00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:39,880 Speaker 1: How exciting is it? Bro? 329 00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:44,680 Speaker 9: It literally makes it makes it easy for everybody else. 330 00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:51,040 Speaker 9: And my man is you know, Mike is a generation 331 00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:55,040 Speaker 9: like I still get like memorized of watching him practice 332 00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:58,560 Speaker 9: over past rushing just because he could be a linebacker. 333 00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:00,840 Speaker 9: He can rush from the house, he can rush from 334 00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:02,280 Speaker 9: the three, he can rush from off the ball, in 335 00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:04,120 Speaker 9: front of the center, he could rush on top of 336 00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:07,360 Speaker 9: the center. And he's not that big of a guy, 337 00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:10,440 Speaker 9: but he's so explosive, so fast, so good with his hands, 338 00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:12,200 Speaker 9: and it's this year three fun. 339 00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:13,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, Like. 340 00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:18,240 Speaker 9: I never seen nothing like it. Man, I can't really, 341 00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:21,040 Speaker 9: I don't know if you can compare him. 342 00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:22,960 Speaker 1: To you know what I mean, Like, well, they try 343 00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:25,640 Speaker 1: to compare to Lawrence Taylor. That's before your time. But 344 00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:27,040 Speaker 1: I'm sure you've heard a lot about him when you 345 00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:27,600 Speaker 1: were at the Giant. 346 00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:29,800 Speaker 6: No, for sure, I would definitely respect Lawrence Taylor. 347 00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:33,840 Speaker 9: But in this generation, in Micah's time, he's by far 348 00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:35,880 Speaker 9: one of the best defensive linemans I've ever seen. 349 00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:38,560 Speaker 1: Awesome, He's seen a lot. It's like we said, year eleven. 350 00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:40,600 Speaker 1: All right, we're getting to we're getting to wrap up, 351 00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:42,800 Speaker 1: So time we gotta go.

Drives a really cool car too. He didn't 400 00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:16,120 Speaker 1: want me to talk about it, but it's pretty cool. 401 00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:20,480 Speaker 1: Drives it here in the parking lot, got some got 402 00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:23,920 Speaker 1: some swag to him for a big guy, and that's 403 00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:26,200 Speaker 1: funny how he said that about I think most veterans 404 00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:29,800 Speaker 1: feel that way about preseason, like, yeah, I'm gonna play. 405 00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:31,840 Speaker 1: I'm a football player. I'll play if you want me to, 406 00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:35,560 Speaker 1: But do you really want me to? Preseason? Gotta get 407 00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:37,879 Speaker 1: ready for that Week one game against the Giants. You 408 00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:40,120 Speaker 1: know he will be chomping at the bit for that one, 409 00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:44,119 Speaker 1: having started his career with the Giants and played the 410 00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:47,359 Speaker 1: first four seasons there. All right, let's talk a little 411 00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:50,320 Speaker 1: bit more about the defensive tackle position. We have a 412 00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:53,320 Speaker 1: question here from Brett Bender. Says Nick, what are your 413 00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:56,120 Speaker 1: thoughts on the defensive tackle position in Dallas? Any chance 414 00:19:56,200 --> 00:20:01,520 Speaker 1: Bohanna or Gallimore make a bigger impact this seas They're 415 00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:03,399 Speaker 1: gonna have their work cut out for him. There's no 416 00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:07,000 Speaker 1: doubt about it, because when you draft the player first round, 417 00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:11,159 Speaker 1: like they did in Mazzie Smith, first time in I 418 00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:16,480 Speaker 1: think thirty two years since Russell Maryland that you drafted 419 00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:18,960 Speaker 1: a first round and of course he went one overall, 420 00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:21,800 Speaker 1: but still it's not a position you typically do. You 421 00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:25,320 Speaker 1: don't address it that early, but the Cowboys did this year. 422 00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:28,040 Speaker 1: He's obviously making it. He's gonna have a big impact. 423 00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:31,040 Speaker 1: I think OsO Diggi Zoo is gonna have a nice 424 00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:33,520 Speaker 1: role in the middle as well. And then of course 425 00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:36,800 Speaker 1: the guy we just interviewed, Hankins, they've resigned him and 426 00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:40,440 Speaker 1: he's gonna have a prominent role as well. So then 427 00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:43,879 Speaker 1: past that, and then you start wondering where some of 428 00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:49,679 Speaker 1: these other guys will fit. And Neville Gallimore is in 429 00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:53,359 Speaker 1: that boat, so is Bohanna, so is Chauncey Golston. So 430 00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:57,960 Speaker 1: I think they've got depth. I think that they've got 431 00:20:58,080 --> 00:21:01,920 Speaker 1: trade potential there if if there is something that they 432 00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:06,200 Speaker 1: need right before the end of UH preseason and training camp. 433 00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:08,640 Speaker 1: I could see that happen. I could see the Cowboys 434 00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:12,720 Speaker 1: maybe trying to trade somebody that there's just not gonna 435 00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:15,560 Speaker 1: make the team. I've said it before. You've got draft 436 00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:18,720 Speaker 1: picks at defensive tackle that are gonna be fighting for spots. 437 00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:23,840 Speaker 1: And that's that's Gallimore, that's Rhanna, that's Golston. I know 438 00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:26,359 Speaker 1: I'm missing a tackle in there, somebody else that that 439 00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:30,560 Speaker 1: uh is you know, I know Isaac Aller Cohen's in there. 440 00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:34,639 Speaker 1: He's not probably ready to make the team. Practice squad 441 00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:37,719 Speaker 1: would be uh, you know, his best thing, because he's 442 00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:42,240 Speaker 1: starting over. He's starting over playing defensive tackle, so his 443 00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:44,800 Speaker 1: best bat I would think would be would be practice squad. 444 00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:49,200 Speaker 1: So to say they've got some talent, I think Mazie 445 00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:52,840 Speaker 1: and Hankins that's gonna be very very strong osa. I 446 00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:55,840 Speaker 1: mean that that that's a really good set of defensive 447 00:21:55,840 --> 00:21:58,159 Speaker 1: tackles there in the middle. And then you also factor 448 00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:00,359 Speaker 1: in all those pass rushers they have on third and 449 00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:04,760 Speaker 1: long Tank slides inside. Sometimes Dorance can slide inside, so 450 00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:06,960 Speaker 1: you're gonna have guys rushing the pastor front from the 451 00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:10,760 Speaker 1: inside as well. All right, Mike Gray, I think he's 452 00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:13,560 Speaker 1: from a Popka, Florida. He's one of the old old 453 00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:18,640 Speaker 1: school listeners. He's one of the ogs of Dallascowboys dot 454 00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:23,080 Speaker 1: Com Radio says, with the additions of Hankins, Gilmour Cooks, 455 00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:25,680 Speaker 1: guys that have actually won Super Bowls and the impact 456 00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:28,120 Speaker 1: they have made off the field in the locker room, 457 00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:30,720 Speaker 1: do you think it will change Steven Jones approach in 458 00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:34,680 Speaker 1: the future when it comes to adding veteran players. Let's 459 00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:36,760 Speaker 1: see what happens on the field. I mean, right now, 460 00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:40,600 Speaker 1: they seem to be good additions. Let's see if if 461 00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:43,280 Speaker 1: Gilmore goes and has six interceptions and he's a great 462 00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:46,280 Speaker 1: player and he helps Digs even more then yeah, that's 463 00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:49,359 Speaker 1: great move. Same with Cooks. He's had a thousand yards 464 00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:53,360 Speaker 1: five different places. Let's see if he can do it again. 465 00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:58,000 Speaker 1: I mean, there's no reason why he shouldn't. I don't 466 00:22:58,040 --> 00:23:00,160 Speaker 1: think they they will say. I don't think Steve even 467 00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:03,280 Speaker 1: will say that they're changing their approach. I think that 468 00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:07,360 Speaker 1: it worked for this time, and they found situations at work. 469 00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:09,679 Speaker 1: You remember, they had a few more picks that they 470 00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:12,920 Speaker 1: were able to part with compensatory picks that they were 471 00:23:13,119 --> 00:23:17,520 Speaker 1: okay doing that. So I don't think they're changing their philosophy. 472 00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:20,360 Speaker 1: But I do think that if it works, I think 473 00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:26,800 Speaker 1: you'll definitely look to do it again, case by case scenarios. 474 00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:30,760 Speaker 1: All right, Joe Simpson, he says, I'm truly worried about 475 00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:33,320 Speaker 1: the Cowboys O line. Do you consider it a potential 476 00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:37,159 Speaker 1: achilles heel of this team? Offensive line is always the 477 00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:41,000 Speaker 1: achilles heel of the team, potentially, because if you can't block, 478 00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:44,320 Speaker 1: you can't do anything. You can't run, you can't throw, 479 00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:48,280 Speaker 1: you can't catch, you can't do anything. So if you 480 00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:53,160 Speaker 1: get an injury or three at the offensive line, yeah, 481 00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:56,000 Speaker 1: it potentially could be a problem. Or you know, like 482 00:23:56,040 --> 00:23:59,359 Speaker 1: we said earlier in the show, if Zach Martin just 483 00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:02,320 Speaker 1: continues to hold out and just give money to charity, 484 00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:06,560 Speaker 1: which is what he's doing right now. But you know, 485 00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:10,480 Speaker 1: with him not out there, then you wonder what else 486 00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:13,320 Speaker 1: is going what other guys are gonna slide into this mix. 487 00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:17,320 Speaker 1: I think that it'll get it'll be fine eventually, because 488 00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:20,520 Speaker 1: I do think they have some talent. It's gonna take 489 00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:24,719 Speaker 1: a lot of injuries. It's gonna take an injury, you know, 490 00:24:25,359 --> 00:24:28,359 Speaker 1: to tiring and then and then the backup or maybe 491 00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:31,080 Speaker 1: another guy knock on wood. But but I just think, 492 00:24:31,560 --> 00:24:36,080 Speaker 1: bless you strong strong sneeze up there in the in 493 00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:41,760 Speaker 1: the gallery. I think that the offensive line is in 494 00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:44,880 Speaker 1: good shape right now, but it all takes his two 495 00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:48,840 Speaker 1: or three injuries at any point, and that it could 496 00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:52,040 Speaker 1: be on the rails at that point. So I'm not 497 00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:57,000 Speaker 1: truly worried about it. We haven't played any games, though. 498 00:24:57,080 --> 00:24:59,080 Speaker 1: I want to see what Matt well Letsko can do. 499 00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:03,240 Speaker 1: I want to se see with Josh Ball as we 500 00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:05,680 Speaker 1: talked about him earlier. I want to see these guys 501 00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:08,880 Speaker 1: in games. And you know, you also want to see 502 00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:13,760 Speaker 1: see Tyron Smith and how he can just if he 503 00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:15,600 Speaker 1: can stay healthy. He really hasn't been able to do 504 00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:17,840 Speaker 1: it last five years. This year it's a little different. 505 00:25:17,840 --> 00:25:21,439 Speaker 1: His contract is different. He's making about a million dollars 506 00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:25,959 Speaker 1: a game. So I bet you he'll make sure that 507 00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:28,080 Speaker 1: he's out there the best that he can be. And 508 00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:32,080 Speaker 1: he's always been that type of guy. All Right, Daniel Vega, 509 00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:37,400 Speaker 1: he said, who's been the biggest camp surprise so far? Well, Daniel, 510 00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:39,800 Speaker 1: I'm not going to give you ten, because there is 511 00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:41,840 Speaker 1: going to be an article on our website of the 512 00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:46,679 Speaker 1: ten camp surprises. And I think the spirit of this 513 00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:50,320 Speaker 1: question is which player has been the biggest surprise. It's 514 00:25:50,359 --> 00:25:53,240 Speaker 1: not the biggest surprise to me any player doing well. 515 00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:56,120 Speaker 1: The biggest surprise is that Zach Martin is not here. 516 00:25:56,160 --> 00:25:59,320 Speaker 1: That's a bigger surprise. The biggest player, though, is I mean, 517 00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:05,200 Speaker 1: it's Jylen Bucks eighty three. He's unbelievable. He has been phenomenal, 518 00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:08,879 Speaker 1: not just for a seventh round pick, and not for 519 00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:11,199 Speaker 1: a seventh round pick who didn't catch any passes at 520 00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:14,440 Speaker 1: South Carolina. He has been phenomenal. If you just look 521 00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:16,520 Speaker 1: at the tape and go, who's this guy? Oh, he's 522 00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:20,760 Speaker 1: our second round pick out of Virginia. Oh, he looks great. Well, 523 00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:23,239 Speaker 1: he's the seventh round pick out of South Carolina. He 524 00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:26,800 Speaker 1: looks great. He had to catch today today's practice in 525 00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:29,760 Speaker 1: the back of the end zone. It was a fifty 526 00:26:29,960 --> 00:26:33,560 Speaker 1: yard bomb from Dak. Can't remember the corner that was 527 00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:38,600 Speaker 1: trying to cover. It was not Digs, I don't remember. 528 00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:41,119 Speaker 1: But he does go up against Now he's in the rotation. 529 00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:43,560 Speaker 1: He's going up against some of these top corners. But 530 00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:47,439 Speaker 1: he had had great separation. Did not look like he 531 00:26:47,520 --> 00:26:49,000 Speaker 1: was going to catch up to this pass in the 532 00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:51,320 Speaker 1: back of the end zone. He makes a diving catch 533 00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:55,320 Speaker 1: for what would be a touchdown. Roll does a summersault, 534 00:26:55,440 --> 00:27:00,919 Speaker 1: gets up this. You know what, You're kind of waiting 535 00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:03,440 Speaker 1: for the for the bottom to drop here. I mean, 536 00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:05,760 Speaker 1: have a bad day, hit a rookie wall show us 537 00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:09,720 Speaker 1: why you went in the seventh round not seeing it. 538 00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:14,199 Speaker 1: Jalen Brooks has been really good. I think he's I 539 00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:16,840 Speaker 1: think he's been the third best receiver here. I'm not 540 00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:18,880 Speaker 1: saying he's the third best receiver. I think he has 541 00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:21,200 Speaker 1: been the third best receiver. I think Cooks and and 542 00:27:22,040 --> 00:27:25,640 Speaker 1: CD have been outstanding. I think this guy's been right there. 543 00:27:25,960 --> 00:27:28,479 Speaker 1: Sometimes it's easy to say that when your expectations are 544 00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:33,040 Speaker 1: low all right. Ken will Win is the name of 545 00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:36,200 Speaker 1: this one. Ken will Win. He says, do you think 546 00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:39,800 Speaker 1: Michah will be more prone to some offside penalties? Teams 547 00:27:39,840 --> 00:27:42,840 Speaker 1: trying to draw him off side? What's the over under there. 548 00:27:45,640 --> 00:27:50,360 Speaker 1: I'll take one a game for a sack. DeMarcus Ware 549 00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:53,160 Speaker 1: he used to do it all the time. Floseel Adams 550 00:27:53,320 --> 00:27:55,879 Speaker 1: led the league in fallse start penalties, but nobody was 551 00:27:55,920 --> 00:27:59,600 Speaker 1: really getting around him. DeMarcus got twenty sacks one year. 552 00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:04,600 Speaker 1: I think he almost I got like fifteen off side penalties. 553 00:28:04,800 --> 00:28:10,360 Speaker 1: It happens. It happens. It's not an excuse. It's not say, oh, 554 00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:15,280 Speaker 1: you know, don't worry about it. But if he's if 555 00:28:15,280 --> 00:28:18,280 Speaker 1: he's getting if he can stay somewhat disciplined, it happens 556 00:28:18,280 --> 00:28:20,640 Speaker 1: every now and again. That's fine. For the most part. 557 00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:23,560 Speaker 1: They'll get after the quarterback, get after the quarterback, and 558 00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:25,159 Speaker 1: if that's what they're having to do to try to 559 00:28:25,240 --> 00:28:27,280 Speaker 1: draw you off side, as long as it's not all 560 00:28:27,320 --> 00:28:29,600 Speaker 1: the way down the field and create a drive for 561 00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:32,960 Speaker 1: someone you know, have some discipline. But for the most part, 562 00:28:33,280 --> 00:28:35,600 Speaker 1: I'm not too worried about a five yard sack. If 563 00:28:35,600 --> 00:28:39,640 Speaker 1: he's getting a strip sack forced fumble a few plays later. 564 00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:43,640 Speaker 1: All right, Patrick from Houston, He says, should the Cowboys 565 00:28:43,640 --> 00:28:48,760 Speaker 1: have drafted a kicker in each of the last two years? Sure? 566 00:28:49,280 --> 00:28:53,440 Speaker 1: I mean where where I mean? Right now? It looks 567 00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:57,640 Speaker 1: like the Cowboys comfort level of taking kickers is fifth, sixth, 568 00:28:57,680 --> 00:29:01,680 Speaker 1: seventh round. And there was two good ones this year 569 00:29:01,720 --> 00:29:04,440 Speaker 1: they both went, but third, fourth round they went. They 570 00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:08,040 Speaker 1: went higher than what the Cowboys are comfortable doing. That's 571 00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:10,120 Speaker 1: just the way it is. Should they be Should they 572 00:29:10,120 --> 00:29:13,560 Speaker 1: have a little bit more you know, presidents there? Should 573 00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:16,600 Speaker 1: should they should they say, Man, we got to get 574 00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:21,160 Speaker 1: a kicker way earlier than this, a little bit more urgency. Sure, sure, 575 00:29:21,800 --> 00:29:25,200 Speaker 1: I'm fine with that. I know this isn't fantasy football, 576 00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:27,680 Speaker 1: but that's the way I do it. And when I'm 577 00:29:27,760 --> 00:29:29,920 Speaker 1: drafted in fantasy football, I want to get I want 578 00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:31,840 Speaker 1: to get the best guy at this position. So I'm 579 00:29:31,920 --> 00:29:33,840 Speaker 1: usually the first one to take the kicker, or the 580 00:29:33,880 --> 00:29:37,160 Speaker 1: defense or the tight end. Which that's that's different now 581 00:29:37,200 --> 00:29:39,720 Speaker 1: with Kelsey at tight end. He's in a first round. 582 00:29:39,720 --> 00:29:41,640 Speaker 1: But back in the day, you know, you waited a 583 00:29:41,640 --> 00:29:44,640 Speaker 1: little bit. And I say all this to say me personally, 584 00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:47,400 Speaker 1: because kickers matter so much. I'm taking a kicker a 585 00:29:47,440 --> 00:29:50,200 Speaker 1: little bit earlier than most teams if I if there's 586 00:29:50,240 --> 00:29:53,000 Speaker 1: one that I'm like, this guy is really really great 587 00:29:53,360 --> 00:29:56,560 Speaker 1: or has the potential to be great. So Cowboys really 588 00:29:56,560 --> 00:30:02,800 Speaker 1: aren't there just yet. All right, Scott from New Jersey. 589 00:30:03,600 --> 00:30:09,000 Speaker 1: What rookie is gonna crush it this year? Which draft pick? 590 00:30:10,800 --> 00:30:15,800 Speaker 1: I mean, you know Mazzie Smith, he's the first round pick, 591 00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:19,480 Speaker 1: but I don't see him. I don't see him making 592 00:30:19,680 --> 00:30:21,840 Speaker 1: like a huge splash. It is hard to make a 593 00:30:21,880 --> 00:30:24,560 Speaker 1: splash at that position. It doesn't mean that you can't 594 00:30:25,080 --> 00:30:28,240 Speaker 1: solidify the run, but it's gonna be hard to just 595 00:30:28,280 --> 00:30:31,560 Speaker 1: come in and just be a difference maker at that position. 596 00:30:31,920 --> 00:30:33,720 Speaker 1: I think the guy that has a chance to do 597 00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:37,880 Speaker 1: it the most is probably Overshown from third round linebacker 598 00:30:37,920 --> 00:30:40,840 Speaker 1: from Texas. He could play all over the field for 599 00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:44,160 Speaker 1: Stalen Brooks looks great. Duce Vaughan, I mean, that's gonna 600 00:30:44,160 --> 00:30:46,800 Speaker 1: be fun to watch. And then you know Eric Scott Junior. 601 00:30:46,840 --> 00:30:49,760 Speaker 1: He's he's a really good corner too, so they got 602 00:30:49,760 --> 00:30:52,720 Speaker 1: a lot of options. I think Deuce Will will probably 603 00:30:52,800 --> 00:30:57,000 Speaker 1: have the most wow plays this year. All Right, That's 604 00:30:57,040 --> 00:30:59,720 Speaker 1: that's it for my questions. Here. That's it for this show. 605 00:30:59,760 --> 00:31:03,120 Speaker 1: It's fun. Jonathan Hankins. We want to thank him for 606 00:31:03,200 --> 00:31:05,760 Speaker 1: coming by, and I also thank Chris Beam for running 607 00:31:05,760 --> 00:31:08,280 Speaker 1: around and getting this set up. And he's I mean, 608 00:31:08,360 --> 00:31:10,560 Speaker 1: Chris Bean. I'm telling you, if I don't know one, 609 00:31:10,920 --> 00:31:14,719 Speaker 1: he could be in the NASCAR pit crew because not 610 00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:16,560 Speaker 1: only does he know how to get things done, he 611 00:31:16,560 --> 00:31:18,800 Speaker 1: can do it like in fifteen seconds. You know, I 612 00:31:18,840 --> 00:31:21,600 Speaker 1: need to switch this out for this Cabri I go. 613 00:31:21,760 --> 00:31:24,360 Speaker 1: I mean, that's what he does. He's like mcgiver, love him. 614 00:31:24,800 --> 00:31:27,400 Speaker 1: He's the best. And he's beating in the sun right now. 615 00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:29,360 Speaker 1: So all right, let's get out of here. It's been 616 00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:33,560 Speaker 1: a great, great show. Looking forward to tomorrow's show. Looking 617 00:31:33,680 --> 00:31:38,840 Speaker 1: forward to tomorrow's show for next time.
