Damien 0:00:51.840 --> 0:00:55.000 Wilson has tweeted that he already has walked his dog, 0:00:55.760 --> 0:00:58.240 gotten in a workout, and mold the lawn today. So 0:00:58.320 --> 0:01:02.080 our productive day for Cowboys linebacker Damie and Wilson. He 0:01:02.160 --> 0:01:05.720 scored a touchdown, he walked the dog, and walked the dog. 0:01:06.120 --> 0:01:10.480 Brad Shammish, good, very good. We had We've had Michael 0:01:10.520 --> 0:01:15.160 irvinish and now we've had Brad Shammish from Mickey Spagnola, 0:01:15.400 --> 0:01:17.440 Brian has had been as productive a day for you 0:01:17.520 --> 0:01:20.400 today so far as it has been for Damian Wilson. Yeah, 0:01:20.400 --> 0:01:23.760 I got through some practice tape and then also was 0:01:23.800 --> 0:01:26.039 able to write that that's up on Dallas cowboys dot 0:01:26.080 --> 0:01:28.760 Com right now, and then we filmed a couple of 0:01:28.800 --> 0:01:31.080 different things. We got a roundtable we did already, and 0:01:31.120 --> 0:01:34.000 I had one of the best sandwiches in a while 0:01:34.520 --> 0:01:36.840 across the street here at the Star. So it's been 0:01:36.880 --> 0:01:39.640 a very to check that. I've been a very productive day. Yep, 0:01:39.760 --> 0:01:42.320 been a productive day for the Aggies over there, Rob, 0:01:42.760 --> 0:01:44.399 thank you, Bill, appreciate that. I got that on the 0:01:44.400 --> 0:01:46.800 way downstairs, and I get it pre show and on 0:01:46.840 --> 0:01:51.320 the show, Aggie's in trouble. Oh well, trouble as the 0:01:51.320 --> 0:01:55.080 Buckeyes though, now pairs of that right there, you go, Yeah, 0:01:55.080 --> 0:01:56.880 we'll be okay, all right, So we stick to the 0:01:57.000 --> 0:02:00.360 NFL instead and talking Cowboys, and we are here for 0:02:00.400 --> 0:02:04.000 the next hour, and we've got a couple of practices 0:02:04.240 --> 0:02:07.960 in shells and shorts and helmets, yeah, that we can 0:02:08.000 --> 0:02:10.440 talk about here in preview the next two days of 0:02:10.560 --> 0:02:13.280 open practices as well, and Cowboys of course play a 0:02:13.320 --> 0:02:18.840 Sunday night game. The NFL regular season opens two weeks 0:02:18.840 --> 0:02:22.680 from tomorrow. It's that close. We need a drum roll. 0:02:23.720 --> 0:02:26.320 You think they're gonna stand shells the rest of the week. 0:02:26.840 --> 0:02:29.880 I think that way I don't look in that way. Yeah. Yeah, 0:02:29.919 --> 0:02:32.320 and then I'm kind of worried about what practices are 0:02:32.320 --> 0:02:37.240 gonna look like on Monday. Well there won't be Tuesday. 0:02:37.360 --> 0:02:41.880 Yeah again, goes again. Yeah, So I think the days 0:02:41.919 --> 0:02:44.600 of I think the the the heavy lifting, as they say, 0:02:44.760 --> 0:02:47.720 was all probably done in Oxnard. So we'll figure this 0:02:47.760 --> 0:02:49.919 out from there on. He's he's gonna trying to give 0:02:49.919 --> 0:02:52.079 his team a chance. I mean, I mean, I shouldn't 0:02:52.080 --> 0:02:54.360 say his team. He's gonna give his young players a 0:02:54.440 --> 0:02:57.959 chance here. He knows it's down the stretch. He knows 0:02:57.960 --> 0:02:59.760 he's got some kids are gonna have to play a 0:02:59.800 --> 0:03:02.680 lot of this Arizona game, and it's probably the second half, 0:03:02.880 --> 0:03:05.320 and then they're gonna have to go the whole Houston games. 0:03:05.360 --> 0:03:07.680 So I don't think he really wanted to beat up 0:03:07.680 --> 0:03:10.760 on his team too much going into these games and 0:03:10.919 --> 0:03:12.680 let these kids have a chance to see if they can, 0:03:12.800 --> 0:03:14.679 if they can in fact change some minds. That and 0:03:14.720 --> 0:03:17.200 they've got they've got a lot of injuries across the roster, 0:03:17.360 --> 0:03:19.400 so maybe he's trying to peel it back a little bit. 0:03:19.400 --> 0:03:21.600 Although I can't remember did they go in pads during 0:03:21.639 --> 0:03:25.160 this Frisco portion last year. Yes, they did, they did. 0:03:25.160 --> 0:03:27.040 I do a little bit because I remember one on 0:03:27.160 --> 0:03:30.120 watching one on one pass rush drills yesterday, it was 0:03:30.160 --> 0:03:32.200 three steps and stop. Yeah it was right, Yeah, that 0:03:32.280 --> 0:03:34.320 was that was fun to watch. You get to see 0:03:34.320 --> 0:03:36.400 who has a really quick get off there. But other 0:03:36.440 --> 0:03:38.320 than that, it was really who could set quick and 0:03:38.320 --> 0:03:40.640 who could get off quick there? But yeah, yeah, I 0:03:40.920 --> 0:03:43.040 think he just is trying to help his team. You 0:03:43.080 --> 0:03:45.280 know he's getting he's got a pretty good pulse of 0:03:45.360 --> 0:03:46.920 it's guy, Rob, You're right, I think he's got to 0:03:46.920 --> 0:03:50.200 beat up football team from practice. But you know they've 0:03:50.200 --> 0:03:52.840 got a couple of quick games too, that that Sunday 0:03:52.920 --> 0:03:54.560 night is going to turn around quickly and it's gonna 0:03:54.560 --> 0:03:56.520 be Thursday before you know it. And then now you're 0:03:56.920 --> 0:03:58.400 now you're kind of in a little bit of a 0:03:58.480 --> 0:04:01.080 struggle there with that, and then you're taken some days 0:04:01.120 --> 0:04:06.279 off until you probably pick up on labor game. Yeah yeah, 0:04:06.320 --> 0:04:09.840 and then you're down to one padded practice a week 0:04:10.160 --> 0:04:13.280 every Wednesday. We will see him take that team outside, right, 0:04:13.520 --> 0:04:16.200 I think, so that's what that's his kind of his emo. 0:04:16.279 --> 0:04:18.360 But do you think they've got this team cut yet? 0:04:20.160 --> 0:04:24.440 I bet within the most part fifty maybe within a handful. Yeah, 0:04:25.120 --> 0:04:29.719 can you can you identify the spots? Help me out 0:04:29.839 --> 0:04:34.279 that the guys that Yeah, well some of the players 0:04:34.279 --> 0:04:36.240 just tell me the spots. Well, we talked about the 0:04:36.240 --> 0:04:39.280 offensive line, you know, and and maybe and maybe they 0:04:39.320 --> 0:04:42.040 know the maybe they know the eight or nine they 0:04:42.080 --> 0:04:44.520 want to keep right now, but again it can change 0:04:44.520 --> 0:04:47.680 over that Labor Day weekend. Right. I think they waivers. 0:04:47.839 --> 0:04:50.000 I think they know the six. There's no way they 0:04:50.040 --> 0:04:54.800 could keep seven wide receivers, is it? Why not? If 0:04:54.880 --> 0:04:58.200 Tavon like I just nic, what do you do with 0:04:58.279 --> 0:05:02.080 Noah Brown? See to me, that would be eight? Then 0:05:02.440 --> 0:05:05.720 I've lost me. I've lost Noah Brown. I've lost He's 0:05:05.720 --> 0:05:08.160 got him at eight? You got Noah Brown? Is your 0:05:08.160 --> 0:05:10.720 eighth best? Yeah? Okay? Is that factor in? Don't you 0:05:10.880 --> 0:05:13.440 think Lenora is ahead of him? Oh? No, I do. 0:05:13.720 --> 0:05:16.360 But I'm just saying, but here's here's a seventh round 0:05:16.400 --> 0:05:19.280 draft pick who they like as potential but hasn't been 0:05:19.279 --> 0:05:22.440 able to do anything. Thompson's the same way. So does 0:05:22.520 --> 0:05:24.560 he an I R guy or do you release him 0:05:24.560 --> 0:05:28.000 wavy me injured? Well you do that anyway to get him? 0:05:28.040 --> 0:05:30.120 I mean, they haven't they haven't released him for a 0:05:30.160 --> 0:05:33.000 full practice yet. Yes, here's the thing though about you 0:05:33.120 --> 0:05:37.400 think he's ahead Lenora's ahead of him, don't you think? Well, 0:05:37.520 --> 0:05:39.800 I'm trying to think about what a guy can do 0:05:39.880 --> 0:05:42.800 to get dressed on game days, and we know what 0:05:42.920 --> 0:05:44.760 Noah Brown can do to get dressed on game days. 0:05:44.800 --> 0:05:47.960 He's gonna play, that's a good question. No Brown's gonna 0:05:47.960 --> 0:05:50.719 play special teams. And we've talked about who's blocking in 0:05:50.760 --> 0:05:52.800 the running? Are you sure? Are you sure he is? 0:05:53.480 --> 0:05:56.320 He can? He's shown he can, okay, and we've seen 0:05:56.400 --> 0:05:58.560 his role on offense as a blocker in the run. 0:05:59.000 --> 0:06:01.080 What Laura gonna do on game day? I'm just asking. 0:06:01.160 --> 0:06:02.799 I'm with you. He's had a hell of a camp. 0:06:03.160 --> 0:06:06.359 I wanted receivers that can get open and catch the ball. 0:06:06.400 --> 0:06:08.880 I don't want receivers. That just the best thing you 0:06:08.880 --> 0:06:11.080 can say about him, Well, he's a good blocker. Who 0:06:11.120 --> 0:06:13.560 big spot? Is he taking? Mickey waiting a rotation at 0:06:13.640 --> 0:06:15.760 riders trying to help you? Here? Is he forty six? 0:06:16.080 --> 0:06:19.800 Is he on your forty six game day? If he 0:06:20.240 --> 0:06:25.279 if he's returning punts, there's a reason why they return. 0:06:25.440 --> 0:06:28.799 You try to argue special teams. Well, that's a good point, 0:06:28.880 --> 0:06:32.040 but there's a reason the number first, also a reason 0:06:32.120 --> 0:06:35.720 why they traded for Tavon no. I know he's kind 0:06:35.720 --> 0:06:38.000 of another wide receiver that's kind of a big ta 0:06:38.400 --> 0:06:40.800 going to return kickoffs too, judging by what I saw 0:06:40.800 --> 0:06:44.719 in Oxnard, Well that's true too, So so Noah Brown. 0:06:44.800 --> 0:06:47.680 What's Noah Brown doing that? And that's why I brought 0:06:47.760 --> 0:06:51.000 up Noah Brown that Chris Covington or Kioe Thomas by 0:06:51.040 --> 0:06:55.400 the way, damp passes over a guy who's in prison 0:06:55.480 --> 0:07:02.880 right now? Okay, but okay, is that is that? Is 0:07:02.920 --> 0:07:06.960 that going to be their most difficult cut? Now? And 0:07:07.040 --> 0:07:08.920 I hate then they say because these guys I think 0:07:08.920 --> 0:07:11.560 they they cut themselves. I think that they don't play 0:07:11.600 --> 0:07:14.000 well enough or something happens. But is that going to 0:07:14.080 --> 0:07:16.640 be the one area where they're going to have the 0:07:16.720 --> 0:07:20.600 biggest problem? Well, I think that's one. But you've talked 0:07:20.600 --> 0:07:24.360 about this defensive line. There might Randy Gregory has got 0:07:24.360 --> 0:07:25.960 a spot on this fifty three. I think we're all 0:07:25.960 --> 0:07:29.000 comfortable saying that, Yeah, he did, he did. I was 0:07:29.040 --> 0:07:31.120 trying to get him to earn it and but then 0:07:31.160 --> 0:07:34.200 he came out and played. Is just doing things I 0:07:34.240 --> 0:07:35.680 want him to see him do. There may not be 0:07:35.760 --> 0:07:41.720 room at the end for an end that yeah, maybe somebody, right, 0:07:41.760 --> 0:07:45.800 there's the position flex of some of those defensive linemen 0:07:45.880 --> 0:07:50.040 to help keep an extra defensive end. Yes, yeah, maybe 0:07:50.040 --> 0:07:53.480 which one you keeping the extra one? Yeah? Well, let's 0:07:53.520 --> 0:07:55.600 say I had him. You want to add him up? 0:07:55.840 --> 0:08:00.800 Just add him up? Okay? Are you? Are you on 0:08:00.440 --> 0:08:04.240 up Tyron Crawford? An end or attack doesn't matter. He's 0:08:04.320 --> 0:08:07.880 He's one of the whoever they keep here. You're first offs. 0:08:07.920 --> 0:08:10.680 Determine how you not keeping You're not You're not adding 0:08:10.720 --> 0:08:14.320 up defensive ends, you're adding up. Just gimme lineman. So 0:08:14.440 --> 0:08:20.640 Crawford's on the team, right, yes, Lawrence, yes, Collins, yes, 0:08:21.240 --> 0:08:25.840 all right, probably Woods? Would would that be your four? Okay? 0:08:26.160 --> 0:08:29.800 Now let's go back at Gregory Yes? Five? Yep? Kay, 0:08:30.520 --> 0:08:39.480 Taco six? All right? John Ward, Brian Price, Brian Price, 0:08:39.640 --> 0:08:44.360 I think coach him praising him yesterday? Yeah, Daytone Jones. 0:08:44.880 --> 0:08:47.040 I don't think so he's going to I are you 0:08:47.040 --> 0:08:49.320 think so? It's not that he can't work out for 0:08:49.320 --> 0:08:54.480 two weeks the coach Dayton. Yeah, Mickey said that was 0:08:54.559 --> 0:08:59.480 so much confidence. When Nicky says stuff like that with confidence. 0:08:59.600 --> 0:09:04.200 Then he guy's going to ir guys. He really believes it. Yeah, 0:09:04.240 --> 0:09:07.480 he did not hesitate, he said. Okay, so Jones is on. 0:09:08.160 --> 0:09:11.120 He's on the injured just not on air, but on 0:09:11.160 --> 0:09:14.520 the injured you're injured list. He's in no land right now? 0:09:14.600 --> 0:09:18.360 A Ward and Ward is on. You got bubble on 0:09:18.480 --> 0:09:20.719 Ward or Yeah?

That's seven seven locks. 0:09:40.480 --> 0:09:43.960 Do I have enough defensive tackles I've got? Are we 0:09:44.000 --> 0:09:47.199 missing a defensive jil? You got Woods? Maybe Crawford Woods 0:09:47.440 --> 0:09:50.839 Ross to be playing Ross? Daniel Ross he started last game. Yeah, 0:09:50.880 --> 0:09:53.400 he's over here. He's a bubble the bubble boys.

There's I think Price is 0:10:00.600 --> 0:10:03.079 a bubble guy. Yeah, yeah, okay, so you got five 0:10:03.160 --> 0:10:06.240 bubbles one? Okay, who's the four? All right, let's do this. 0:10:06.440 --> 0:10:10.280 I've got seven locks locks seven locks, five bubbles and 0:10:10.320 --> 0:10:12.640 an injured bubble, so we need two more. We're gonna 0:10:12.640 --> 0:10:16.559 probably have nine, right, Okay, who who are the best 0:10:16.600 --> 0:10:19.640 of the bubble guys? Well, if if we're judging by 0:10:19.679 --> 0:10:22.360 who's playing, okay, wait wait, wait, hold on, how many 0:10:22.360 --> 0:10:24.960 tackles do we have? Yeah, that's important. That's four we 0:10:24.960 --> 0:10:28.520 need to count. And Crawford, well he's a halfer, he's 0:10:28.520 --> 0:10:33.280 a half Yeah, so I've got Colins, Woods and probably Price. 0:10:33.360 --> 0:10:34.920 So I got three and a half tackle Okay, so 0:10:34.960 --> 0:10:38.760 you just took Price off the bubble. No, who are 0:10:38.800 --> 0:10:42.120 your locks right now? Your locks three? Two tackles, two 0:10:42.120 --> 0:10:44.199 and a half tackles, two and a half tackles.

We're going to 0:11:17.120 --> 0:11:19.760 move towards the roster spot, right, I'll move him over here. 0:11:19.920 --> 0:11:22.280 You want Nicky didn't want to move? Do you want 0:11:22.520 --> 0:11:26.400 five total and including the half and halfs? Do you 0:11:26.440 --> 0:11:29.560 want five ends and four? You want to total up 0:11:29.600 --> 0:11:32.160 five ends? I mean nine? I think I need about 0:11:32.200 --> 0:11:37.800 four and four and Crawford either either, So you want 0:11:37.800 --> 0:11:39.000 four and a half and four and a half. So 0:11:39.080 --> 0:11:42.960 that would mean probably Cony Eally and Crawford would be 0:11:43.000 --> 0:11:46.400 the Yeah, because think Cony Eale could play both spots 0:11:46.520 --> 0:11:48.880 and he's been working. Does he make up the other half? 0:11:49.200 --> 0:11:53.960 Does Cony Ely makeup the other half? Well, you've got okay, 0:11:54.040 --> 0:11:57.839 if let's say, okay, this is you've got two and 0:11:57.840 --> 0:12:00.439 a half right now on the tackles. Let's put Price 0:12:00.480 --> 0:12:03.120 on the team. Okay, So I got Price, that gets 0:12:03.160 --> 0:12:07.560 you three and a half and Woods and Collins and 0:12:07.600 --> 0:12:10.160 then and then a half Crawford Crawford and a half. 0:12:10.160 --> 0:12:12.400 It's three and a half. If you keep Elie that 0:12:12.480 --> 0:12:15.079 gets you to four tackles. That's yeah, that's what I 0:12:15.160 --> 0:12:17.720 was thinking about. And that way you're keeping five ends, 0:12:18.120 --> 0:12:20.320 So you have what ends do you have? I've got 0:12:20.440 --> 0:12:27.280 Lawrence Gregory, Taco Armstrong. That's four. Okay, So let's I'm 0:12:27.280 --> 0:12:28.960 trying to get my ou guys. Oh yeah, you are 0:12:29.240 --> 0:12:33.160 all right to get put Tapper in there. That's another end. Okay. 0:12:33.240 --> 0:12:38.760 So who got cut Ward and Ross? Warden Ross? Did 0:12:38.800 --> 0:12:42.199 you count Malie Collins? Yeah? Okay, just making sure. So 0:12:42.240 --> 0:12:45.640 it's a question of do you want to keep jad Well, 0:12:46.400 --> 0:12:48.400 what you're doing is you're keeping all the tackles and 0:12:48.480 --> 0:12:51.760 cutting the two defensive tackles. You're keeping all the ends. 0:12:51.760 --> 0:12:54.920 Excuse me, all right, forget about the position flex of 0:12:54.920 --> 0:12:58.000 a coney Eli is Cony Eally deserved to make the 0:12:58.000 --> 0:13:03.400 team over Jehad Ward. That's a tough cut. That's a tie. 0:13:03.440 --> 0:13:06.120 That's who has been the best the last couple of weeks. 0:13:06.160 --> 0:13:08.280 How who's been the best in the game. Concerned are 0:13:08.320 --> 0:13:12.880 you about MALIEK Collins injury going forward? Going forward? I 0:13:12.920 --> 0:13:17.559 think they think he'll be ready for week one. But 0:13:18.559 --> 0:13:21.959 this is where this is where they're thinking that Coney Eally, 0:13:22.120 --> 0:13:24.440 if the argument will be Coney Eally will make the 0:13:24.480 --> 0:13:26.840 team because if something happens to one of the ends, 0:13:27.400 --> 0:13:30.040 he could play as an end. If something happens to 0:13:30.040 --> 0:13:32.840 one of the tackles, he could probably go play tackle 0:13:33.320 --> 0:13:35.640 where a Ward can't play as one of the ends. 0:13:36.679 --> 0:13:40.840 That makes sense. Yeah, and gosh, it's is the potential 0:13:40.920 --> 0:13:45.079 vested veteran in or into any of this equation. Cony Ely, Yeah, 0:13:45.080 --> 0:13:51.080 you have to pay him a full Starward too, right? Yeh, 0:13:51.120 --> 0:13:53.120 Ward's a guy they were really talking up a month 0:13:53.200 --> 0:13:55.360 or two ago. How do how do you think he's 0:13:55.360 --> 0:13:59.120 been overall? I think that once camp started, I think 0:13:59.280 --> 0:14:01.560 Jones has been better than him of the two guys 0:14:01.600 --> 0:14:04.840 that came out of when we went to Oxnard, Jones 0:14:05.120 --> 0:14:08.240 and Ward with the two starters, right, and I think 0:14:08.320 --> 0:14:12.079 Ward has been Okay, I don't and trust me. I 0:14:12.160 --> 0:14:14.360 had him in my top ten coming out of OTA's 0:14:14.960 --> 0:14:17.360 and it just hasn't materialized like I thought it was 0:14:17.440 --> 0:14:19.640 for him. Although people will tell you all the pads 0:14:19.640 --> 0:14:22.200 came on, do they consider the fact that they gave 0:14:22.240 --> 0:14:25.400 something up for him? No? Does that make you want 0:14:25.400 --> 0:14:28.560 to keep him? Bryan's point though about position flex it 0:14:28.640 --> 0:14:32.000 might be the tiebreaker. Yeah, this one. Even though coney 0:14:32.080 --> 0:14:35.200 Elie looks like me Russian, sometimes you know, it's just 0:14:35.280 --> 0:14:37.760 not getting off the ball quick enough. He gets he 0:14:37.800 --> 0:14:40.840 gets like he's playing in sand. So I agree. And 0:14:40.880 --> 0:14:44.120 then some guys as they get older, they turn they 0:14:44.280 --> 0:14:48.400 from ends into tackles. Yeah, but see, okay, who's the guy? Okay? 0:14:48.520 --> 0:14:51.400 If this is so tough, like when metabolism sets in 0:14:51.960 --> 0:14:54.960 week five, Week five, you have to have a guy 0:14:55.040 --> 0:14:58.560 play defensive tackle. Who are you going to trust? Coney 0:14:58.640 --> 0:15:04.160 Elie or Jihad Ward week five? Whoever you're playing David Rby. Oh, 0:15:04.200 --> 0:15:07.520 that's true, David Irby, I forgot about that. But what 0:15:07.600 --> 0:15:11.520 I'm joking because I ain't counting on nothing from him? Okay? 0:15:11.640 --> 0:15:16.080 Was that enough double negatives there? What? Okay? Completely not 0:15:16.160 --> 0:15:19.480 counting on him at all, planning not the season. I 0:15:19.640 --> 0:15:22.520 can see a lands and if I get him, great Okay. 0:15:22.560 --> 0:15:24.640 And while those lines, well, do you need to keep 0:15:24.640 --> 0:15:27.240 an extra in because you don't know for sure about 0:15:27.280 --> 0:15:30.920 Randy Gregory throughout the entire season. That's Coney Eely again? 0:15:32.360 --> 0:15:34.160 I think do you have enough ins though? Or is 0:15:34.160 --> 0:15:36.960 it Tapper Boomer Sooner built like it's it's tough for 0:15:37.000 --> 0:15:39.880 me to let go of Charles Tapper because you see 0:15:39.920 --> 0:15:43.200 the potential. No, you like Charles Tapper as a person. No, 0:15:43.360 --> 0:15:45.600 and I like I like his first step. I've always 0:15:45.680 --> 0:15:47.600 liked his first step. Can I have we seen that 0:15:47.760 --> 0:15:51.280 enough at times? Just closing speed, running down the guy 0:15:51.320 --> 0:15:53.160 on the sideline the other day? Can I grind my 0:15:53.200 --> 0:15:56.800 teeth and keep ten? Okay, if you're gonna keep ten, 0:15:57.640 --> 0:16:03.120 Mickey can't keep nine wide receivers? Then sounds for three 0:16:03.200 --> 0:16:07.800 quarterbacks ends yeah, yeah, and old boy, what are you 0:16:07.840 --> 0:16:10.480 doing at safety? By the way, which, by the way, 0:16:10.720 --> 0:16:13.960 safety they're gonna keep. They're gonna We're not gonna have 0:16:13.960 --> 0:16:17.640 a safety. We're gonna rush from the front. Uh, They're 0:16:17.680 --> 0:16:20.400 gonna give Rico some more snaps, I think with the 0:16:20.440 --> 0:16:23.720 first team. Why do you say that with such surprise? 0:16:24.840 --> 0:16:26.400 Why do you have a smirk on you? I'm just 0:16:26.480 --> 0:16:28.760 saying there, it looks like that's what they're gonna do. 0:16:28.840 --> 0:16:30.720 Is this kind of a Daniel Ross thing where hey, 0:16:30.800 --> 0:16:33.360 let's well, are we down playing now you look at 0:16:33.400 --> 0:16:36.560 the coaches film? Yeah, okay, are we down playing jahad 0:16:36.640 --> 0:16:40.120 Ward this week? Because Daniel Ross was starting, well, they 0:16:40.240 --> 0:16:43.320 keep rotating guys in to try to find somebody over there. 0:16:43.320 --> 0:16:45.520 They used Chris Covington, went with the ones just straight 0:16:45.560 --> 0:16:48.920 outside linebacker, played the Sam linebacker. Yeah, that's because Wilson 0:16:48.920 --> 0:16:51.000 went to the bathroom. Is that what it was? Yeah? 0:16:51.120 --> 0:16:54.080 And he came running back. Okay, I was wondering why 0:16:54.120 --> 0:16:57.200 that was all the cat I wrote about it. It's 0:16:57.240 --> 0:17:03.120 like Wilson walk the dog. That's really what happened. I 0:17:03.120 --> 0:17:04.840 thought that. Really I put him in there because he 0:17:04.920 --> 0:17:06.960 came running back. Yeah, I wrote him. I saw it 0:17:07.000 --> 0:17:10.680 him like going like you've been Covington some more. That's 0:17:10.680 --> 0:17:15.880 a good note by you. Eyes saw my eyes. Yeah. 0:17:15.920 --> 0:17:19.280 But I well, okay, what's the position you're gonna have 0:17:19.359 --> 0:17:23.160 to go light at? Then? I've always said quarterback. Oh, 0:17:23.240 --> 0:17:25.840 you're gonna go with two quarterback? Well, I mean I'm 0:17:25.880 --> 0:17:28.119 not trying to cut anybody here. Yes, you are going ahead, 0:17:28.200 --> 0:17:32.600 because there's still two games. You cut people who you want. 0:17:33.000 --> 0:17:36.440 I think one of the quarterbacks will be a practice squatter. Well, 0:17:36.560 --> 0:17:39.520 I'm with Brian and that you shouldn't go with me 0:17:39.520 --> 0:17:42.959 on any If you cut a drafted quarterback, there's probably 0:17:43.000 --> 0:17:44.639 a team out there that's like, oh, we had this 0:17:44.760 --> 0:17:47.119 grade on him and he's picked up. So you're putting 0:17:47.119 --> 0:17:49.840 Cooper Russian on the practice squad. No, Cooper Rush is 0:17:49.920 --> 0:17:53.119 my backup quarterback. Okay, I'm just saying a third quarterback 0:17:53.680 --> 0:17:55.800 it is somewhat of a luxury because we've seen them 0:17:55.880 --> 0:17:57.960 recent years. Just go with two, right Mac now, Now 0:17:57.960 --> 0:18:00.280 the second quarterback is usually has been a guy in 0:18:00.320 --> 0:18:02.080 the past, has been a vet, you know, a John 0:18:02.160 --> 0:18:04.400 Kitten or somebody like that. You know, it's made me laugh. 0:18:04.560 --> 0:18:07.439 We did the same thing this time last year, and 0:18:07.520 --> 0:18:09.880 I had it all figured out and then I miss 0:18:09.960 --> 0:18:17.520 added and I had like fifty five. Yeah, yeah, I 0:18:17.600 --> 0:18:22.280 just cut them. I don't worry about it. Carolina, Hey, Goodell, 0:18:22.440 --> 0:18:25.359 were getting too except we're keeping you were keeping fifty 0:18:25.359 --> 0:18:28.439 five here today? Where else can you go? Like, what 0:18:28.640 --> 0:18:31.879 is the fine if if there was if you had more, 0:18:32.640 --> 0:18:35.639 the league, what is the fine if, Mickey is the 0:18:35.720 --> 0:18:38.120 league will not let you do that. They had them 0:18:38.200 --> 0:18:41.960 up for you. They cut themselves. Yeah, they they have 0:18:42.240 --> 0:18:45.280 heard that before. You've got too many. You're losing number twelve. 0:18:45.560 --> 0:18:47.120 I'll tell you what though. It was a time during 0:18:47.160 --> 0:18:49.399 the salary cap era when it first started, if you 0:18:49.440 --> 0:18:52.840 could not get under the salary cap, the league would 0:18:52.880 --> 0:18:55.240 cut players for you. That was that was part of 0:18:55.240 --> 0:18:57.199 the plan that you know, if you can't do it, 0:18:57.280 --> 0:18:59.159 the alarms would go out, Yeah, we do it for you. 0:18:59.240 --> 0:19:01.520 So what would they tell the bottom of the roster. 0:19:01.600 --> 0:19:05.520 They just start cutting guys until it's fine. Yeah, if 0:19:05.560 --> 0:19:07.520 you're gonna take the fine, then let the league tell 0:19:07.520 --> 0:19:09.880 me who I'm cutting, right. I remember, I remember when 0:19:09.880 --> 0:19:11.639 they were really close to one of those and it 0:19:11.720 --> 0:19:13.919 looked like there was no way their teams going with 0:19:14.000 --> 0:19:18.160 fifty two guys fifty one guys and there is a minimum. 0:19:18.160 --> 0:19:20.920 But we did that. And I remember writing that the 0:19:21.960 --> 0:19:24.360 bells were ready to go off on the cowboys gonna 0:19:24.359 --> 0:19:26.680 be over the cap, right, And of course they got under. 0:19:27.160 --> 0:19:30.160 And the next day Stephen Jones saw me and he goes, 0:19:30.560 --> 0:19:35.040 I didn't hear any bells yesterday. What's the position to 0:19:35.119 --> 0:19:39.159 go light at? If they're gonna go light? Do you 0:19:39.160 --> 0:19:42.840 think it's quarterback? No, I'm saying it's a possible they could, right, 0:19:42.920 --> 0:19:45.679 you don't have to have three q tight end instead 0:19:45.680 --> 0:19:49.480 of four. You're going three right keeping a fullback? So um, 0:19:49.480 --> 0:19:54.640 that's possible. About what about could you go right at safety? 0:19:55.240 --> 0:19:58.439 M h? Could you just go three? No? One? What 0:19:58.520 --> 0:20:00.639 you know? Okay, what are they gonna do with Scarborough? 0:20:01.119 --> 0:20:04.920 Scarborough makes the team see that's that's Darius Jackson. But 0:20:05.880 --> 0:20:08.040 but you think both Scarborough would make this team. D 0:20:08.160 --> 0:20:12.520 Jackson is lurking. He's lurking. But you could initially if 0:20:12.560 --> 0:20:15.600 you did when us, if you're depending on what their 0:20:15.640 --> 0:20:18.879 decision is there, you could go lighter there at running 0:20:18.920 --> 0:20:21.560 back and then because oh, Wally could play as a 0:20:21.600 --> 0:20:23.320 single back if you had to run the football. I've 0:20:23.320 --> 0:20:25.520 seen him do this at Oakland before, and you know, 0:20:25.600 --> 0:20:27.560 we don't know what they're gonna do with Tavon Austin 0:20:27.680 --> 0:20:29.879 back there, but it's a possibility. And seeing him a 0:20:29.880 --> 0:20:31.720 couple of times play back a little bit, yeah, but 0:20:31.760 --> 0:20:34.159 not enough to say, oh, he's a running back, right, Okay, 0:20:34.160 --> 0:20:38.800 so let's do this. We expect you to do anything special, teams, 0:20:38.920 --> 0:20:42.399 Let's tease three, let's tease this. Why don't we add 0:20:42.400 --> 0:20:45.720 all these up after this?
