Speaker 2: We're there.
Speaker 5: Got Anthony Dorset right here, got Trey Moore. I'm newly Scrugs.
Speaker 5: Barry Church is unavailable on assignment.
Speaker 6: A little bit too busy, too busy.
Speaker 5: Cowboys training camp is going on here at ox Star, California.
Speaker 5: You're here at the Cowboys headquarters in Frisco, Texas.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna go out there tomorrow.
Speaker 2: And exclusive hold it down. Be nice.
Speaker 3: Yes I am.
Speaker 4: I know.
Speaker 5: I'm thinking the official sponsored airline of the Cowboys.
Speaker 7: Go ahead on flying to Santa Barbara. Yeah, brand adorse me,
Speaker 7: I like that.
Speaker 2: Go ahead, yeah, go.
Speaker 5: With the company playing. But pads were popping yesterday. Pads
Speaker 5: were popping, and I hate that I wasn't there when
Speaker 5: I think about it now, but I was a family reunion.
Speaker 4: But first, right, first past Rob Jones.
Speaker 5: Guard Rob Jones is gonna miss the next two to
Speaker 5: three months with a broken bone into the broken bones
Speaker 5: in his neck and Cowboys said coach Brian Shotehimer said
Speaker 5: it happened on a kickback block. So he did say
Speaker 5: earlier in the week last week, we're gonna be physical
Speaker 5: football team. It's gonna be physical out here. And he
Speaker 5: made no apologies at this press conference today. This is football,
Speaker 5: so what it is.
Speaker 3: He said.
Speaker 5: Rob was having a good camp and there were some
Speaker 5: he was taking the first team reps ahead of Tyler Booker.
Speaker 5: Clearly that's not going to be the case. He was
Speaker 5: even working with Booker on techniques. So he's trying to
Speaker 5: be a good teammate. Sir Trey as a deep former
Speaker 5: defensive lineman and with the Cowboys, when you see something
Speaker 5: like this happens day one, what goes through your mind.
Speaker 3: It's a player.
Speaker 2: Everybody go down every day. Be That's what Cameron said.
Speaker 7: But when you see this, not to make too many
Speaker 7: jokes about it, it's football. My heart goes out to him.
Speaker 7: And that's a major injury, especially a neck injury. Normally
Speaker 7: you hear about soft tissue stuff, but as far as
Speaker 7: that in those trenches, when you hear about an injury
Speaker 7: like this, like you can't help but think about just
Speaker 7: technique and the way that that looks and how everything
Speaker 7: goes from there, Like to have a major injury in
Speaker 7: your neck like that. It's tough, but it also lets
Speaker 7: you know that he's a shot, he's a man of
Speaker 7: his word. He said, you're coming in, you're bumping, were
Speaker 7: about to be hidding, and we're about to be thumping.
Speaker 7: And so to go out there, you just wonder like, hey,
Speaker 7: was this a technique error or is just that? But regardless,
Speaker 7: this is putting more pressure on Bookers. So now I
Speaker 7: want to see what he's gonna do. Like sometimes, like
Speaker 7: back in the day, they used to throw you in
Speaker 7: the pool and say you gotta go swim, Like, guess what, Booker,
Speaker 7: You're about to swim right now.
Speaker 2: So I want to see if he's gonna swim.
Speaker 5: Before they did a little bit of that, and he
Speaker 5: was having a couple of struggles, a lot coming at him,
Speaker 5: and that's when Rob Jones came in there, played a
Speaker 5: little bit. But now now Todd Booker's right back out there.
Speaker 7: But it's different though, when you don't have a safety
Speaker 7: net behind you. When you got a safety net behind
Speaker 7: you and stuff like that, or you know, you gotta
Speaker 7: vet the like that veteranship, no matter if he's a
Speaker 7: starter or whoever he is, that is that's helping you
Speaker 7: make that transition to not have him out there. You know,
Speaker 7: you're gonna have some eyes now that he's gonna be
Speaker 7: sitting back there coaching, but to now learn from him,
Speaker 7: get those reps and see him behind him, that's gonna
Speaker 7: it's gonna be.
Speaker 2: It's gonna be speak volumes to this game.
Speaker 7: And now he's gonna have to go on the trial
Speaker 7: and or he's gonna have to sit there and talk
Speaker 7: to you know, the other offensive lineman. Can y'all help
Speaker 7: me along while still trying to learn this system?
Speaker 6: So yeah, I think that, you know, just like Marche
Speaker 6: is saying, like, no no plan B now I'm saying
Speaker 6: he's gonna have to get out there. He's gonna have
Speaker 6: to earn those stripes and hopefully with the reps that
Speaker 6: he was taking and trying to learn from Rob before
Speaker 6: he got hurt, it paid some dividends for him. But
Speaker 6: you know, it's it's that time of year. What what
Speaker 6: year is this for him. Now this is what second
Speaker 6: third year for Tyler Nookie? Oh yeah, so so right now,
Speaker 6: so he got a weekend? Yeah yeah, so that's why
Speaker 6: That's what I was when you said reps he you
Speaker 6: say you got half a practice? Yeah, so so I was.
Speaker 6: I was actually thinking he was his second year. I
Speaker 6: was gotting confused somebody else.
Speaker 2: It's the other guard that you're thinking of.
Speaker 6: Yeahler STOLISI okay, that's got you got you? Yeah, so
Speaker 6: now right now, man, he gotta get it, you know
Speaker 6: what I'm saying. And so you know he I'm sure
Speaker 6: he was. He's drafted to be in that position, you
Speaker 6: know what I'm saying. So you know, hopefully with with
Speaker 6: with uh getting put in the fire, going up against
Speaker 6: those first team d D linemen as well, he's gonna
Speaker 6: have to go to He's going to figure it out
Speaker 6: real quick.
Speaker 2: It is that that I've seen an interesting quote yesterday.
Speaker 7: I forgot who, but it was two offensive lineman knew
Speaker 7: you posted in the group chat. He said, man, going
Speaker 7: against this D linean and stuff like that. You know,
Speaker 7: you praise up your teammates and Tyler guy, but with
Speaker 7: him giving you want to I wonder how much of
Speaker 7: this is fluff? Is this really you just pumping up
Speaker 7: your teammates and saying this, or is this really you? Like, hey,
Speaker 7: we see Michael Parson as coming from these guys. Oh
Speaker 7: is taking over right now? Like I really want to
Speaker 7: know how good is this defensive line? And if the
Speaker 7: defensive line is as good as they're saying there are,
Speaker 7: he's going to Booker's gonna learn early, like when he
Speaker 7: goes against those other guys, he's gonna be like, hey,
Speaker 7: when I was I think about my tenure here, I
Speaker 7: had to go against Tyron Smith. You have to go
Speaker 7: against guys like Travis Frederick, Zach Martin sitting in there.
Speaker 2: So when we.
Speaker 7: Went against these other offensive Island, it was shoot Joe Joe.
Speaker 7: It was it Joe Looney, that was Tobacco, Say Joe.
Speaker 7: Big Joe was back there, like you had guys of
Speaker 7: those calibers to where it was like, hey, we're still
Speaker 7: have talent. And when I played other guys, it was
Speaker 7: like it wasn't as much as so you wonder that
Speaker 7: you have that type of depth right now better.
Speaker 6: I mean, he's saying from I just read the same
Speaker 6: thing that you're talking about, and I remember him saying
Speaker 6: that with the mixture of the guys you know, and
Speaker 6: throwing different guys in and out, the scheme is looking
Speaker 6: like there's going to be a lot of problems for
Speaker 6: offensive linemen. So you know, in practice, him getting these reps,
Speaker 6: going up against that D line, going up against the
Speaker 6: random number of guys too as well, he's gonna come
Speaker 6: along pretty fast.
Speaker 5: So no surgery is what I've read initially right now
Speaker 5: for Rob Jones, That's what I'm reading initially right here.
Speaker 5: So two to three months he's back. As a player
Speaker 5: who's going through something like that this early in camp, Heady,
Speaker 5: what goes through your mind because you were, you know,
Speaker 5: trying to make the team. You've got a contract here,
Speaker 5: you're looking forward to a whole new starting band right
Speaker 5: out of the gate, first practicing, I get a major injury.
Speaker 4: Let's just keep it one hundred.
Speaker 6: Everybody wants to start in the league, So right now
Speaker 6: you're looking at, Okay, I'm not going to have a
Speaker 6: possibility of starting, you know, no telling with other type
Speaker 6: of goals he had for the season, But that's the
Speaker 6: main thing is like how soon can I get back?
Speaker 6: How soon can I help? And how soon can I
Speaker 6: contribute to this team and get back out there with
Speaker 6: my guys now with a neck injury like fortunately, knock
Speaker 6: on wood, knock on wood. I've never had one, but those,
Speaker 6: like like Marche said, you know, the soft TENSI you,
Speaker 6: injuries are a little bit different.
Speaker 4: You basically can have a I.
Speaker 6: Guess you could say an easier way to look at
Speaker 6: when you're gonna heal, you know, but with the neck
Speaker 6: injury or anything like that, neck back things like that,
Speaker 6: there's really no timeline. You know, You're you're sitting there
Speaker 6: waiting for everything to go right, and then you don't
Speaker 6: want to jump out there too soon and re injured it.
Speaker 4: So, you know, but the main thing what he's thinking.
Speaker 6: About is getting back and contributing as fast as possible.
Speaker 2: Boy, that's a tough injury.
Speaker 7: Like you said, I think the example.
Speaker 2: My dad always said examples are the best.
Speaker 7: Teachers, and so when I think of my example, David
Speaker 7: Wilson was my teammate when we played in New York
Speaker 7: and he had the injury, and so seeing him rush
Speaker 7: back to piggyback off what you said. He came back,
Speaker 7: he had the spinal surgery where he fused his vertebrates
Speaker 7: and came back played during the season, wasn't his normal self,
Speaker 7: still had some of little nerve damage. So if I
Speaker 7: could say, I just hope that he takes his time
Speaker 7: to really truly heal his body up, because as a competitor,
Speaker 7: you are trying to figure out you are trying to
Speaker 7: jump back in there to be starting over a first
Speaker 7: round draft pick. It's like, man, I was going, I'm
Speaker 7: gonna be the right guy and like to have all
Speaker 7: that momentum going, like initially that first mindset because I've
Speaker 7: been there being a journeyman, like getting hurt early in
Speaker 7: camp and you saying, this is finally my year I
Speaker 7: earned the right and then to be the right on
Speaker 7: America's team.
Speaker 2: It's like he's probably sitting.
Speaker 7: Over there sad, but now, like he said, this is
Speaker 7: the opportunity for him to go in there and help
Speaker 7: coach up that young guy still show and build value
Speaker 7: to the team.
Speaker 3: So in the trenches day one neck injury, what is.
Speaker 5: The mentality for the rest of the guys, Know we're
Speaker 5: about to put pads on here. Day one, we already
Speaker 5: see somebody got got handled. Don't get got you go
Speaker 5: over there.
Speaker 7: Everybody have their kumbay our moment and pray. But during
Speaker 7: training camp, this is wartime.
Speaker 2: Man.
Speaker 7: You on the opposite side of the ball with that
Speaker 7: different colored shape, this is opponent. One guy got caught slipping.
Speaker 7: I'm not getting caught today. I'm gonna make sure that
Speaker 7: I don't get got Because you have these different mindsets.
Speaker 7: You got young guys coming in there trying to prove themselves,
Speaker 7: make their make the team, make America's team. Then you
Speaker 7: have old guys in there that, hey, I got a wife,
Speaker 7: a kid, maybe a baby mama to other Hurrican kids
Speaker 7: over there, I gotta go feed these These are grown
Speaker 7: men with responsibilities to where they say the next man up.
Speaker 7: You seen a guy get hurt and you move ten
Speaker 7: yards forward and the play keep going. Well, that's what's
Speaker 7: gonna keep going. This snowball is still rolling.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, that is one of the coolest things that
Speaker 5: I've ever seen. When I first started selling football, man
Speaker 5: is it was Jimmy Johnson. Man, it was Jimmy's last
Speaker 5: year with the Cowboys and Alfredo roberts tight end. Alfredo
Speaker 5: Robertson they just what super Bowl? Coming off a Super Bowl,
Speaker 5: Alfredo played for Jimmy and Miami. Okay, so you know,
Speaker 5: this is your guy. Alfredo's your guy. Alfredo goes down
Speaker 5: and it's one of those knee injuries and everybody know it,
Speaker 5: and everybody feels for him.
Speaker 3: Afraid it was a light.
Speaker 7: Guy, and.
Speaker 3: So they rightie, right, what's going on?
Speaker 2: Turn it around, spinning around.
Speaker 3: So they just go up, you know, like fifteen yards
Speaker 3: or so.
Speaker 5: Then the trainers around here, you know, Michael Irving played
Speaker 5: with they and Michael looking at him, and then you
Speaker 5: gotta go get in a huddle, and they just.
Speaker 3: Keep going to Gyn look back.
Speaker 2: They ain't look back.
Speaker 4: A man practice. I keep going. Next man up, man,
Speaker 4: I exactly what I mean.
Speaker 7: Like Cameron said, off, what was the movie? He said, Hey,
Speaker 7: people die every day. You gotta keep going. I felt bad.
Speaker 7: Then you know they bring the car down for the year.
Speaker 7: But I'm like, my first look again, Jimmy, you had
Speaker 7: this in college. You want a super Bowl like that.
Speaker 7: That's when you're gonna get a little bit of sympathy
Speaker 7: when when you bring out that car, like players are like,
Speaker 7: oh snap, we gotta keep going. We dying.
Speaker 2: It's the heat. Hey, we still got to keep going
Speaker 2: because we over.
Speaker 7: Here looking at him. We might mess around and get cut.
Speaker 7: But then when the car come, it's like, oh, snap,
Speaker 7: let's let's stop real quick. Let's run over there. Hey,
Speaker 7: we're gonna pray for you.
Speaker 2: Brother.
Speaker 7: Ah man, you know you cry and then guess what,
Speaker 7: give me those oranges and I'm back on the field.
Speaker 7: I got another rep.
Speaker 5: So you guys are players, So you guys have seen
Speaker 5: this since college, so you use it. But as an
Speaker 5: immediate guy. For me, first time, that's that's cold as ice. Yeah,
Speaker 5: it's dirty work. Somebody get to him.
Speaker 3: What's the next player?
Speaker 7: Wow, I didn't see nothing until college for the first time.
Speaker 7: And you know, nobody had no injury. We had Mike
Speaker 7: Sherman as our head coach. When that first injury happened,
Speaker 7: it was like keep moving. And then when we got
Speaker 7: in the meeting, he used to always say, hey man,
Speaker 7: this is the league. I cut you, this is how
Speaker 7: we do it. It got to be professional, and that
Speaker 7: was a rude. I didn't know that that was going
Speaker 7: to be the league for the rest of my career.
Speaker 7: So when I seen that getting to the league, it
Speaker 7: was like, y'all have coach Sherman. You better keep going
Speaker 7: right there.
Speaker 2: That's time to work.
Speaker 3: Brought pro mentality to ex A and m.
Speaker 2: He definitely did. He definitely did that.
Speaker 3: Very interesting. All right, let's switch to.
Speaker 2: Money.
Speaker 5: Jake Ferguson, uh oh, look back. Jake Ferguson tight end.
Speaker 5: Four year contract extension, fifty two million dollars, thirty million
Speaker 5: of it year guaranteed, twelve million dollars signing bonus for him,
Speaker 5: puts him in the top seven in terms of paid
Speaker 5: tight ends.
Speaker 2: Here comes the money.
Speaker 4: I wasn't that familiar with him until he got the contract.
Speaker 6: I'm just going like, I didn't know he was top seven,
Speaker 6: I'll put to you like that, or at least top ten.
Speaker 4: I didn't know he was in that category.
Speaker 3: He was not last year.
Speaker 2: Last year.
Speaker 3: Last year he had a down year.
Speaker 2: He was not that And.
Speaker 5: Some people will say, well, Dak Prescott was hert but
Speaker 5: Cooper Rush in the times of Cooper Rush had filled
Speaker 5: in in the past. He still had been a part
Speaker 5: of the offense, and Schottenheimer's talked about how he'll come back.
Speaker 5: Jake Ferguson is RaaS his hand and admitted he did
Speaker 5: not have the year that he needed to have, but
Speaker 5: he wanted to be with the Cowboys. And so my
Speaker 5: initial thought processing and I'd asked you, guys, was is
Speaker 5: he a top ten player at his position? Because they
Speaker 5: had another guy in Dalton Schultz who they allowed to
Speaker 5: lead to go to Houston.
Speaker 3: Now, in fairness to the organization, they made him an offer.
Speaker 3: He didn't like it. He wanted to get paid like
Speaker 3: David and Joker, Like you ain't David Joke.
Speaker 2: You ain't got them type of numbers.
Speaker 5: And you know, just just because the Brown's out here
Speaker 5: throwing money around, don't mean you gotta throw money right Brown.
Speaker 3: It's just so different that.
Speaker 6: I think timing. Timing has a lot to do with
Speaker 6: this stuff, without question, you know what I mean. And
Speaker 6: we could just look at it from timing from say
Speaker 6: ballers from back in the day. If these dudes had
Speaker 6: the opportunity to play today with type of money, they
Speaker 6: would actually beginning to just where we are today and
Speaker 6: with the market is setting for people in itself, all right.
Speaker 6: And I just think that right now where the market
Speaker 6: was for him, I think this timing was perfect.
Speaker 4: Now does it benefit him at.
Speaker 3: The end of the day.
Speaker 4: Heck yeah, benefits at the end of the day.
Speaker 6: And what I like for my time to be perfect too,
Speaker 6: when it's time for to be perfect, yes, but you know,
Speaker 6: like that we talked about before, with that money comes
Speaker 6: with responsibility to as well.
Speaker 4: All right, So you just can't get.
Speaker 6: That money and go out there and not play and
Speaker 6: stay and stay and make sure that you earn every
Speaker 6: penny of that, all right, and as well, you know,
Speaker 6: just do everything you just supposed to do, not only
Speaker 6: with the catching of the ball, but like you're also
Speaker 6: going to have to.
Speaker 4: Be that that dude just blocking and doing everything that
Speaker 4: you can do for this team.
Speaker 6: So but I really think that, like as we talked
Speaker 6: about it, like I said in the beginning, I didn't
Speaker 6: know he was a top ten and but now he's not.
Speaker 7: But now he's not yet like it, let me say
Speaker 7: yet right, not to cut you off, it's not that
Speaker 7: he's not a top ten.
Speaker 2: And we all know, especially you.
Speaker 7: Being around football growing up, being around there, knew that
Speaker 7: you didn't wrote a lot of people the way that
Speaker 7: the market is now, a lot of people don't get
Speaker 7: paid off of what you're doing. You got paid. You
Speaker 7: get paid off of what they think you're going to do.
Speaker 7: And in the years past, he's shown that he's reliable.
Speaker 7: He's dependable, but also like you said, it's timing. You
Speaker 7: lose your starting tight end right now. You're trying to
Speaker 7: keep some talent in the house. You gotta run first, offense,
Speaker 7: heavy mindset, coach that the past is predicated off of
Speaker 7: the run. You're gonna get that play action style tight
Speaker 7: end going in there. Think about his time at Seattle
Speaker 7: with you having guys like Jimmy Graham. No, it's saying
Speaker 7: those guys like that, It's like it's a demand right now,
Speaker 7: and that demand was him and he did whatever he
Speaker 7: needed to do to show that he's dependable. But what
Speaker 7: I am going to say is that we all know
Speaker 7: with the Cowboys organization, Jerry is stingy. He ain't just
Speaker 7: throwing money out here. Like you said, this ain't the brown.
Speaker 7: So if he's throwing money at you, you didn't did
Speaker 7: enough to are You didn't did enough for somebody in
Speaker 7: the building to like you and show you enough to
Speaker 7: where's that? And then for them to throw this type
Speaker 7: of bread out there. Tim you're definitely getting paid off
Speaker 7: of potential and you're showing them that. So I'm excited
Speaker 7: to see what he's gonna do. I think he's gonna
Speaker 7: live to it. If there's any time for him to
Speaker 7: be the playmaker. It's going to be with this run
Speaker 7: first coach.
Speaker 6: So we'll see right now, definitely sure, And I think
Speaker 6: that right now too as well. With us not having
Speaker 6: a solid I guess you could say run game and
Speaker 6: not knowing who is going to be that man guy,
Speaker 6: you're going to have to have somebody like a tight
Speaker 6: end like this, who's going.
Speaker 7: To solidify your pieces right Now've got try to keep
Speaker 7: what's in the house and the market being what it is.
Speaker 7: They said, hey, we feel comfortable enough to throw you
Speaker 7: that type of bread. And so the question I have
Speaker 7: is not is he a top ten? The question I
Speaker 7: really have is like we paid him? Why haven't we
Speaker 7: paid the guy that deserves it right now? Then we
Speaker 7: got enough money left for him. That would be the
Speaker 7: big question I would have, see huge.
Speaker 5: Why I don't have that question because we know he's
Speaker 5: going to get paid, Yes, And every year pretty much
Speaker 5: Jerry will do one of.
Speaker 7: These deals right before he give out that big bag.
Speaker 3: You're waiting on ceedee lambing and they signed somebody else.
Speaker 3: That's just what he does. That's what he does.
Speaker 5: And so in some ways and Stephen did a very
Speaker 5: good just it takes two. So Jake Fergus said, I
Speaker 5: want to be here. So if you want to be there,
Speaker 5: then maybe you don't take every last dollar, but you say, hey,
Speaker 5: what what fits for me? I remember what Trayvon Diggs
Speaker 5: got signed that came out of the blue. Let oh
Speaker 5: Diggs got signed here. He found a sweet spot in
Speaker 5: which he said, this is what I.
Speaker 2: Want to do. They found the perfect But four years.
Speaker 4: We're talking about timing and market.
Speaker 6: I don't think that the big guy's asking for anything
Speaker 6: that's out of his timing and out of his market
Speaker 6: right now at all.
Speaker 3: Neither did dak.
Speaker 2: Land.
Speaker 3: This exists how they do business. I mean, this is
Speaker 3: I mean, it's how they do business. And we know
Speaker 3: how it ends. Record breaking deal.
Speaker 2: For said player Jerry. Jerry does big thing in big
Speaker 2: way in America's team.
Speaker 7: So Micah holds your pockets to the way when I
Speaker 7: see when I see a guy and it's no slack
Speaker 7: to him. But when I say, oh, four years, most
Speaker 7: of that's guaranty. He about to get me, right, I
Speaker 7: know I'm about to get mine is coming.
Speaker 5: Oh.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 6: If I'm Mike and I'm sitting here and I'm watching
Speaker 6: what's going on, Yeah.
Speaker 5: I'm excited, but she said, keep paying, not the bag, Jerry,
Speaker 5: because I know you're gonna bring it to me. I
Speaker 5: if I were, if Michael, we're in here right now,
Speaker 5: in this empty chair, I would just say, just look
Speaker 5: at the history.
Speaker 3: The history is there.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 5: Now, did you have to go through a little uncomfortable
Speaker 5: days and some moments for your bag?
Speaker 3: But you got it. Whatn't comfortable wasn't comfortable right right.
Speaker 5: See, he got it. That went through it twice. Lawrence
Speaker 5: has gone through it, DeMarcus Ware has gone through it.
Speaker 5: I mean, we're talking about some dudes who have Hall
Speaker 5: of Fame jackets that had to go do this dance
Speaker 5: with Jerry. He made it easy on on two people
Speaker 5: Troy and Tony Romo have to beg for their cat.
Speaker 2: I was like, no, only too.
Speaker 3: Dion got his back. Oh do you remember dance was holding.
Speaker 2: Out daddy exactly, But it was it was he was
Speaker 2: a life he was a lifetime.
Speaker 4: But the same thing.
Speaker 5: Davis had to go through it. So while it's not ideal, Micah,
Speaker 5: this is your time in the blender. You're gonna get
Speaker 5: blended up, a little bit chopped up, but you're going
Speaker 5: to get at the end of the day, you're going
Speaker 5: to get it, which is why when all these guys leave,
Speaker 5: how many of them say they they man, I hated
Speaker 5: what Jerry did to me.
Speaker 3: I'm mad at you, Jerry. Everybody everybody sweet and.
Speaker 2: Like right now, this is very good. We did everything
Speaker 2: over here that we're supposed to.
Speaker 6: And I think, like so, like that's one of the
Speaker 6: things with with with with Jerry, Okay, like so where
Speaker 6: people don't know him, like and and and and he
Speaker 6: is such a likable person, y'all, Like trust me if
Speaker 6: you don't know him. And I've never been a cowboy,
Speaker 6: but I've been in the room with the man, and
Speaker 6: I've hung out with him, and like he is that
Speaker 6: guy that I don't know a person that would not
Speaker 6: like him, Okay, And he he he crosses all borders,
Speaker 6: He crosses every everything that you can go against go
Speaker 6: go with him, right And so then he's so I
Speaker 6: guess you could say, in tune with everything that people
Speaker 6: are always asking for, like if.

Speaker 7: When I didn't read the first time, I was very

Speaker 7: almost played it off. Buried dapped me up. We thought
Speaker 7: we was good and knew it was like I got you.
Speaker 2: What was that word in vizilin a vasileen? Well, that's
Speaker 2: what it was, something I said. I can't remember.
Speaker 7: It was a.

Speaker 2: you were not I got lines. Give me, give me
Speaker 2: that you know what.

Speaker 11: to get the easy one here. So did you can
Speaker 11: handled it?
Speaker 2: Did you say you go to training camp tomorrow? Going
Speaker 2: to camp. I'm glad. I'm glad. I'm gonna miss you
Speaker 2: so much. Miss missed this.
Speaker 3: Read that.
Speaker 2: You're gonna be able to see him allowing down there
Speaker 2: with that.
Speaker 3: Here here it all. I need to just hear it.
Speaker 3: I just hear of course I can watch it right
Speaker 3: here on X.
Speaker 5: Trey More, Anthony Doors said, I'm to rescruss players and
Speaker 5: I was brought to you by Aristocrat Gaming. Cowboys will
Speaker 5: and it's wild because we're about to have the Hall
Speaker 5: of Fame game start this week. Cowboys are going to
Speaker 5: end up playing the Rams on February August ninth, so
Speaker 5: camp is going. Cowboys finally start hitting the pads and
Speaker 5: we see a contract signed here. So I like the
Speaker 5: fact now we're starting to see things moving here. I
Speaker 5: like that what we're seeing here. And for me, it's
Speaker 5: just from a media standpoint. This is the part I
Speaker 5: enjoy because football to me is about the pads, all
Speaker 5: this other stuff we've been seeing, and you see, I
Speaker 5: need to see more stuff and that comes with the pads,
Speaker 5: and that's where we get to see exactly. To me,
Speaker 5: for the Cowboys, my biggest worried guys, I've sat it
Speaker 5: all off season long, the offensive and defensive lines.
Speaker 2: That's where the games have to be wor it definitely does.
Speaker 7: Like you said, my sentiments are the same as a
Speaker 7: football player or former power out player.
Speaker 2: I still feel like I'm active right now.
Speaker 7: I love this time because this is you as a fan,
Speaker 7: as a person, you get to know your players, Like
Speaker 7: you're gonna see these guys in the next few days.
Speaker 7: Who's gonna go out there and be exciting, But in
Speaker 7: these next two weeks is gonna let you know what
Speaker 7: type of player this guy is gonna be dependable. We
Speaker 7: know who these guys are, but you get to know
Speaker 7: your person, your players on a personal level, how they're
Speaker 7: responding with all the reports that are coming out. So
Speaker 7: when you get there to the season, it's like, hey,
Speaker 7: we know what we get. We're excited about this guy.
Speaker 7: So this is where people are gonna make their names.
Speaker 7: And then this is where a lot of names that
Speaker 7: you think are the names are not going to be
Speaker 7: the guys. You're gonna figure out who's the guy and
Speaker 7: who's just a guy. So for me, through this this
Speaker 7: time period, this is where the real elbow grease goes in.
Speaker 2: And I love it. As far as that standpoint me,
Speaker 2: I mean.
Speaker 4: I agree with you said everything.
Speaker 6: Then start up front for both sides of the ball,
Speaker 6: you know, offensive line and defense line. But of course
Speaker 6: me being the secondary guy, you know, knowing what's going
Speaker 6: on up front, I pay attention to what's going on
Speaker 6: in the backside too as well, and so we have,
Speaker 6: you know, for everything to work right up front for them,
Speaker 6: they make everything click in the backside front, you know
Speaker 6: what I'm saying.
Speaker 4: So definitely on the defensive side of the ball.
Speaker 6: Yeah, Hey, I want to see my guys getting to
Speaker 6: the ball up front, you know, especially in the defensive
Speaker 6: meeting room. We got some young guys. We letting them know, Hey,
Speaker 6: look we're expecting it. We expecting this type of pressure.
Speaker 6: We want you all to get here. We need this,
Speaker 6: We need this to happen up front, so we could
Speaker 6: do this in the backside, you know what I mean.
Speaker 6: And I'm sure it's the same way on the offensive
Speaker 6: side of the ball too as well. Hey, without no protection,
Speaker 6: we can't run the ball and we can't throw the ball.
Speaker 6: So everything starts to front all the time.
Speaker 2: And when it's starting up front.
Speaker 7: Like another sentiment playing for Matt Eberflus, I'm gonna tell
Speaker 7: you right now, the reason that you get so excited,
Speaker 7: especially like you going up there tomorrow, You're gonna be
Speaker 7: able to see pursuit dre he came under a Rod
Speaker 7: mayor Nelli defense. So like in these first few days,
Speaker 7: they have a hustle take that they show before every practice.
Speaker 2: Who's into the ball? Who wasn't.
Speaker 7: They have the lions that they show that's going to
Speaker 7: be hunting and Iris is going to show that tape
Speaker 7: and whoever is running that rookie that consistently run into
Speaker 7: the ball. You're like, hey, okay, you did this without
Speaker 7: pass the t shirt warrior. Are you doing this with paths?
Speaker 7: And if you're still doing that, that's where the Vets
Speaker 7: started building that excitement to say, hey, that guy is dependable.
Speaker 7: So like that hustle tape, when you get up there,
Speaker 7: ask them about it when you see it, be like
Speaker 7: who's made the hustle tape?
Speaker 2: Who's impressed?
Speaker 4: Youre on the defensive side of the ball, levin hats
Speaker 4: to the ball all times.
Speaker 5: When I get up there, I definitely want to check
Speaker 5: out Mozzie Smith and want to see be able to
Speaker 5: just ken and just look exactly what's going on there.
Speaker 5: And then of course if Nate Newton, former Cowboy Great
Speaker 5: Offensive Blind and he's there, I will watch practices with Nate.
Speaker 5: One of the great things that I'm able to do
Speaker 5: at campus. Just sit there with Nate and I just
Speaker 5: listen and he'll just point things out. Look at young
Speaker 5: fella here. Last year, Nate was on Tyler Guy early.
Speaker 5: I don't see it. I'm not I don't like what
Speaker 5: I'm seeing right now. He also had talked about Ozzie
Speaker 5: Smith and his rookie he's trying to He said, being
Speaker 5: strong is not enough in this They're gonna learn how
Speaker 5: to use it against You're gonna lose leverage.
Speaker 3: There's a lot of strong dudes in this league.
Speaker 5: And so that part for me. When I go to camp,
Speaker 5: I go find Nate. I stand next to him and
Speaker 5: we just said, I just listen. It's just a masterclass.
Speaker 5: And when when I see veterans out there, former players,
Speaker 5: I like to go do that. I like because they
Speaker 5: see things. When you talk to me about career, elam
Speaker 5: and so you know, when I go out there, I'm
Speaker 5: gonna check him out some more. I know he had
Speaker 5: to little pick the other day, picked the kid up
Speaker 5: from the stands.
Speaker 2: And so I'm say a team celebration.
Speaker 4: I like it.
Speaker 2: They having fun.
Speaker 5: He's been one of the three names that they've talked
Speaker 5: about they like Jerry Jones talked about like he's like
Speaker 5: what you seen from Elam, He's like what you seen
Speaker 5: from Doabin Azaraku.
Speaker 2: So you got opportunity. Definitely a lot of people not
Speaker 2: out here like.
Speaker 4: I and he's getting a lot of reps.
Speaker 7: And I'm not a I don't want to diminish it,
Speaker 7: but it's like I expect you to make plays. You
Speaker 7: need to make plays.
Speaker 2: He need all these.
Speaker 7: Young guys right now on this team. They all need
Speaker 7: to be having this snowball effect. Not only make one
Speaker 7: play one day, but let this go downhill because whenever
Speaker 7: it did come back, they're gonna throw him in the fire.
Speaker 7: They're gonna expect him to get these reft when Michael
Speaker 7: get back. Like, yeah, Mike is not here right now,
Speaker 7: but it's gonna get good points. So you got to
Speaker 7: build up all these good days. So they say, hey,
Speaker 7: he's dependable, he potentially might be a starter, or you're
Speaker 7: going to be that second or third guy, because we
Speaker 7: all know that second.
Speaker 2: Or third guard is Darna Air starter.
Speaker 6: Hey Kaier is the first round draft pick, So like,
Speaker 6: don't like and and he has an opportunity, and he
Speaker 6: has the skill and the talent to obviously be here.
Speaker 4: Now will he put it together?
Speaker 6: And and and the thing about it is this, And
Speaker 6: I will say a lot of people who are outside
Speaker 6: of football may not recognize this. You can be corrected
Speaker 6: so easy in football by changing your technique. Everybody here
Speaker 6: has skill and talent. But once you get here, your
Speaker 6: technique is not always coached the same way. It's not
Speaker 6: always I guess you could say, garnered the same way.
Speaker 6: Because you're so athletic and you're so much of a
Speaker 6: pro that sometimes the technical side of it gets gets
Speaker 6: basically able to go by the wayside.
Speaker 4: A little bit. Right.
Speaker 6: So, now with him being here, you know, concentration on
Speaker 6: let me try to be a better player here, let
Speaker 6: me work on these things. Maybe the whole technical side
Speaker 6: of it is increased, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 4: I want to see him do well here. I want
Speaker 4: to see I'm a dB.
Speaker 6: One of the things I hate the worst is seeing
Speaker 6: the deep ball or DB's in the highlights all the time. Nah, man,
Speaker 6: I'd rather see you know, somebody else in the highlights
Speaker 6: besides the dB.
Speaker 4: So hopefully Kyrier will.
Speaker 6: Be able to come here, get his stuff together and
Speaker 6: contribute to this team.
Speaker 2: We need him.
Speaker 5: Look, I would tell any dB look at the money
Speaker 5: and what's going on here right now. You got Digs,
Speaker 5: your highest paid corner and owner, the owner, and I'm
Speaker 5: really happy with him. Right now he's not happy and
Speaker 5: he's coming off an injury. So you don't know when
Speaker 5: he's going to be here. Doron Bland your number two
Speaker 5: corner here, he's going to be a free agent. So far,
Speaker 5: we haven't seen him sign a contract extension at all.
Speaker 5: I thought maybe he would get done before a guy
Speaker 5: like Ferguson, but and maybe they're still working on a Bland.
Speaker 5: But he could be gone if he has a good year,
Speaker 5: if he doesn't sign. So if you're Elam and then
Speaker 5: you had last ye Jorian Montgomery, your slot corner, he left.
Speaker 5: From a financial standpoint, man, they're going to be looking
Speaker 5: to pay somebody here and Diggs may not be here
Speaker 5: next year, so there's opportunity and an opportunity to possibly
Speaker 5: also get a check out of this for you.
Speaker 2: Man.
Speaker 7: You building up that, like we said at the beginning
Speaker 7: of the show, opportunity on top, opportunity on top opportunity.
Speaker 2: When you're that older guy, it's easier for.
Speaker 7: You to see a thing because it's like, hey, I'm
Speaker 7: trying to go in here, figure out who job I
Speaker 7: can take you this and that, because nobody's going to
Speaker 7: hand your job.
Speaker 2: Nobody's going to give rap you this.
Speaker 7: But when it says, hey, i'm looking where what we
Speaker 7: say earlier time and opportunity and demand, Well guess what
Speaker 7: our tight end was here? It was a demand. Nobody
Speaker 7: was here with him. I'm looking at that as like
Speaker 7: there's a demand. When I was a free agent and
Speaker 7: I came in, this was before Tank Lawrence got paid.
Speaker 7: This was when Randy Gregory was coming off of suspension
Speaker 7: a year long. So it was like, you know, you
Speaker 7: had Tyron Crawford like no offense. I love Tyder depth,
Speaker 7: that's my dog. He's consistent, he's been a DM, but
Speaker 7: he was a three technique.
Speaker 2: But the way that I looked at it was like, yo,
Speaker 2: like they don't have no true pass rushers.
Speaker 7: So the opportunity for me to strike right there, it's there,
Speaker 7: And the next year those guys got paid. So if
Speaker 7: I'm a dB right now, I'm licking at my chops.
Speaker 7: I'm saying, not only is the money there, you get
Speaker 7: to go behind Michael Parson, Like when you got pass rushers,
Speaker 7: like you said up there and back half of the front.
Speaker 7: It's cake right now, so he should be excited.
Speaker 5: So yeah, if I'm a dB right now, I would
Speaker 5: relish the opportunity, the opportunity to carve out yourself and
Speaker 5: get paid. And then Chavone Ravel, the kid they took
Speaker 5: in the third round at East Carolina, he's not one
Speaker 5: hundred percent back yet either. So for a guy like
Speaker 5: kyer Elum, there's an opportunity, and the other guys back there,
Speaker 5: it's opportunity. So I'll be looking for that when I,
Speaker 5: when I, when I get out to training camp and
Speaker 5: anywhere weidsday practice.
Speaker 7: Any unsugged heroes that we haven't been talking about yet,
Speaker 7: that's like starting to pick a steam, like behind the
Speaker 7: closed doors.

Speaker 5: My man cave missing Cowboy practice today, duce Vaughan, Rob Jones,
Speaker 5: who we talked about earlier. Rob Jones out next the
Speaker 5: next two three months with a broken broken boats, some
Speaker 5: broken bones in his neck. Matt Well, let's go the
Speaker 5: tackle receiver, Paris Campbell, tight end Brevin span Ford, also
Speaker 5: Treyvon Diggs, Michael Parson, Chavon Revel, Josh Butler, Kayln Carson,
Speaker 5: and Kenneth Murray.
Speaker 3: Dron bland Is.
Speaker 5: Back in practice. Went through childbirth with his uh uh
Speaker 5: with significant others.
Speaker 2: Yes.
Speaker 3: Yes.
Speaker 5: Andrew Booth, according to Calvin Watkins, eighteen minutes ago, went
Speaker 5: into the tent during individual drills. He's dealing with the
Speaker 5: hamstring issues, they think, and he was getting stretched out
Speaker 5: before going into the tent area. So you got that
Speaker 5: going on right there. So the Cowboy camp getting no
Speaker 5: getting busy out there. Oxnar, California. This is this is
Speaker 5: that time, man, this is that time. But interesting to
Speaker 5: see you have a padd of practice the next day.
Speaker 5: We got some guys hate you taking take a risk
Speaker 5: and we didn't.
Speaker 7: They weed theyselves out, knew telling you their first day
Speaker 7: after practice.
Speaker 2: That's where everybody walking around there. I knew he was
Speaker 2: faking it, knew.
Speaker 4: I knew.
Speaker 7: You ever seen that one episode of SpongeBob where he
Speaker 7: had to blow up on like you see that guy
Speaker 7: with no paths on that Thursday. You don't see him
Speaker 7: after that. So we're gonna figure out who our lifetime
Speaker 7: club Cold Tub members.
Speaker 2: So we will see. But I'm not worried about those
Speaker 2: soft tissue injuries.
Speaker 5: Brevan Ford, he's got a hinkle spring, so it's gonna
Speaker 5: be a couple of weeks for him there. He was
Speaker 5: a guy that has some high hopes on right now.
Speaker 5: So you're gonna miss him camp here and that's always
Speaker 5: a that's a challenge right there, Which which one Revin Knight,
Speaker 5: Brether span Ford tight end, big big dude tight end.
Speaker 5: So missing some time there, Trayvon Digs. Not sure when
Speaker 5: he's gonna come back, by the way, that for.
Speaker 4: Me and and and and that was one of the
Speaker 4: things like with him not being here.
Speaker 6: Okay, in the off season, you're you're you're rehabbing somewhere
Speaker 6: else and you're not playing. So when you get back
Speaker 6: to town, it would be one thing to be out
Speaker 6: of town rehabbing and and.
Speaker 4: Coming back and being ready to play.
Speaker 6: But if you if you're really not going to be
Speaker 6: on the field, I completely understand why that riff was
Speaker 6: so hard about that. The five hundred thousand dollars a
Speaker 6: bonus and you're not being here to show your face
Speaker 6: as well. You know, it'd be one thing, Like I said,
Speaker 6: if I knew I was out of town, I knew
Speaker 6: I was coming back and going to be able to
Speaker 6: contribute right now, I might bet on myself with that
Speaker 6: five hundred. You're still gonna be five hundred short, whatever
Speaker 6: it is. But still at least I know I'm gonna
Speaker 6: come back and I'm showing the people like, hey, this
Speaker 6: is why I was gone.
Speaker 4: When you come back off.
Speaker 6: Injury and you still can't participate, there's nothing to show
Speaker 6: why you were actually gone.
Speaker 7: Yeah, and I'm not gonna be I hate to be
Speaker 7: a walking cliche, but I'm not going to be the
Speaker 7: dead horse. Like we all know that he wasn't hearing this,
Speaker 7: and that what I am going to speak to is
Speaker 7: the fact that you aren't ready, and the fact that
Speaker 7: you aren't ready, don't get on that field. You see,
Speaker 7: I'm looking into the camera. I'm talking to you. I
Speaker 7: know I'm just here. Whatever the case may be, if
Speaker 7: you're not ready, do not step on that field because
Speaker 7: the lights are getting bigger, the pressure is mounting. The
Speaker 7: media is putting pressure on you like you have everybody
Speaker 7: putting it's pressure on you. So when you do get
Speaker 7: out there, don't put bad tape out there. Like Barry said,
Speaker 7: he's not here. I'd be remiss if he didn't say.
Speaker 7: But what did he say? He said, if you go
Speaker 7: out there, you ball, you get the interception. This is
Speaker 7: gonna be water up under the bridge before right now,
Speaker 7: do not try to force yourself and get back on
Speaker 7: that field. Because the other guys heard. Doron Bland is
Speaker 7: coming over here. You got the young guy that's balling out,
Speaker 7: you got another guy that hurt. You've already proven yourself,
Speaker 7: You've already been the starter. Make sure you show up
Speaker 7: as the starter. Don't show up as a backup.
Speaker 5: We talked before the break, just you know, who are
Speaker 5: some some players to think about flying under the radar.
Speaker 5: Last year I thought Hunter Lipkey would be able to
Speaker 5: do something. Didn't turn out that way. The early returns
Speaker 5: on Lipkey have been good. He's now full back. Mike
Speaker 5: didn't really use a fullback McCarthy. Shotty will in this
Speaker 5: system because Shotty wants to run, so right right, there're
Speaker 5: gonna get your spot, okay, because he plays special teams.
Speaker 3: You'll be the pullback, You'll be the guy.
Speaker 5: So this is a guy that's gonna get a fifty
Speaker 5: three man roster spot right here. And they have been
Speaker 5: able to use him in some short yardages catch the
Speaker 5: passes here.
Speaker 3: Under this system.
Speaker 5: Maybe maybe Hunter Lipke is unveiled a little bit more
Speaker 5: because you got a guy that wants to run the ball.
Speaker 5: So far, that's a guy that we've heard good things about.
Speaker 5: It's another name I will go pay attention to in
Speaker 5: Atlantic California.
Speaker 4: You know it's it.
Speaker 6: It goes to say that he is a special team
Speaker 6: guy and able to play full back, or he's a
Speaker 6: fullback who's also involved in special teams because like you
Speaker 6: mentioned just a second ago, fullbacks are the night their
Speaker 6: diamond doesn't in the league, now, you know what I mean.
Speaker 6: So his contribution is going to have to be as
Speaker 6: as as much as he can do in any other
Speaker 6: place that he can do it as well. Uh right
Speaker 6: now with us not having a true defined tailback or
Speaker 6: who's knowing who's going to be the the bread winner
Speaker 6: in the backfield. He may get a few extra carries
Speaker 6: it in the preseason to see what he can actually
Speaker 6: do too as well. So you know, we're gonna have
Speaker 6: to see what he turns out to be. But at
Speaker 6: least he's he's here and he can do something on specialty.
Speaker 3: There's a use for him out there.
Speaker 2: I just say there's a use and there's need.
Speaker 7: And this offense that's run heavy, you don't have approven
Speaker 7: running back, Like you said, you're gonna build value. I
Speaker 7: think about guys like Kyle you check that you've been around.
Speaker 7: Think about Seattle back in the day when they had
Speaker 7: Mike doing their thing with that two headed monster. Like
Speaker 7: he's going to get that those opportunities not only to
Speaker 7: make places, but he's going to show himself that he's dependable.
Speaker 7: And when you're dependable and you're a starting fullback, I
Speaker 7: look at fullbacks in the league, like.
Speaker 2: Long snappers or punter.
Speaker 7: Like once you found your guy, that's your guy for
Speaker 7: a certain time period. So he's about to earn that
Speaker 7: and not only earn it in the in a good system,
Speaker 7: he's earning it in the right system and a run first.
Speaker 2: So I think he's gonna truly build that value.
Speaker 7: But when you talk about him, all I all I
Speaker 7: thought about in the back of my head was Keith Smith.
Speaker 7: Like Keith Smith out here, He wasn't the guy when
Speaker 7: there you go to Q Dog. You know, I always
Speaker 7: give you all y'all love, but for him to go
Speaker 7: there and be a bubble guy, but then all of
Speaker 7: a sudden just blossom into this amazing special team player.
Speaker 7: Then showed that he was dependable, not he wasn't as
Speaker 7: dependable on the run, but showing that he was going
Speaker 7: through there blocking and stuff like that. And then when
Speaker 7: we do give him the ball, he makes a play
Speaker 7: right here and there like that right there built so
Speaker 7: much value. So that's who I project or see him being.
Speaker 7: So I want to see if he has that Keith
Speaker 7: Smith type effect.
Speaker 5: I think if a guy like Keith app tu Car
Speaker 5: got a really good career playing a lot of special
Speaker 5: teams playing some fullback in the league, you know, and
Speaker 5: occasionally getting the ball. I'm in Patriots a couple of
Speaker 5: times and give him some handofs here. But there's there's
Speaker 5: still a role for that. And if you want to
Speaker 5: be a run heavy football team, having a fullback somebody
Speaker 5: could also kind of play a little bit of h
Speaker 5: back up there.
Speaker 3: You need a player like that. And considering your first
Speaker 3: opponent of the year as the Philadelphia Eagles.
Speaker 2: Yeah we got to get ready.
Speaker 7: What it's say, poor Talcon as many webs a you
Speaker 7: can have out there one time, you get him ready,
Speaker 7: and then we.
Speaker 2: All know what happened in the first two to three games.
Speaker 7: Like you see a lot of people that's going to
Speaker 7: be running heavy, Like you're trying to get your feet away,
Speaker 7: you're trying to get comfortable, you're trying to establish it.
Speaker 7: So first to be a run heavy team like those
Speaker 7: first few games, well, I want to see it first
Speaker 7: of all in training camp.
Speaker 2: Prove that you're that guy.
Speaker 7: But now once you prove that you're that guy, be
Speaker 7: ready for those first three weeks to get that work
Speaker 7: and be our cop bell hey.
Speaker 6: And you never know, you may turn out to be
Speaker 6: a mismatching guy. You know you mentioned something about a
Speaker 6: AH back. I played with one of one of the
Speaker 6: better ones by the guy by name of Frank Whitchek,
Speaker 6: for years while I was in Tennessee. Yes, and he
Speaker 6: was a he would just cause matchup problems all the time.
Speaker 6: We had a full back in the backfield by name
Speaker 6: of Lorenzo O'Neil and if you know low Neil O'Neil
Speaker 6: is like people talk about him for the Hall of
Speaker 6: Fame sometimes. So you got them two dudes coming out
Speaker 6: of the backfield. Oh yeah, it could definitely cost you
Speaker 6: some matchup issues.
Speaker 3: On a team that we wanted to run the football.
Speaker 3: We got to get out of here. Henthany Geor said,
Speaker 3: this is the players last. We'll track that Barry Church
Speaker 3: for the next show.
