Let's okay, let's get let's get it started. 19 00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:16,560 Speaker 1: We all get right into Randy Gregory, another guy that 20 00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:21,440 Speaker 1: made headlines yesterday. He took part in Team What Go 21 00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:26,880 Speaker 1: Ahead movement like Hall hell Fame, Hell yeah, Hall of Fame. 22 00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:31,360 Speaker 1: Randy Gregory more like really good. So yeah, so I 23 00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:34,640 Speaker 1: wanted I wanted to ask you guys. Uh. Jerry Jones 24 00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:38,360 Speaker 1: came out saying basically saying that he expects Randy to 25 00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:43,640 Speaker 1: be able to take some reps during the first game. 26 00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:50,000 Speaker 1: Is a previous season game? Season yeah? Week one? Uh, 27 00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:53,520 Speaker 1: season opener. That's the way I was looking for season openers. 28 00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:57,040 Speaker 1: So based on what we saw today, what you guys watched, 29 00:01:57,160 --> 00:02:00,560 Speaker 1: are you what level would you rate him? Does he 30 00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:03,000 Speaker 1: look like a guy that has being out for about 31 00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:06,480 Speaker 1: over a year or a guy that is just fitting 32 00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:10,639 Speaker 1: writing with everyone else? I would say somewhere in between. 33 00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:13,040 Speaker 1: But he doesn't look like a guy that's been out 34 00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:14,960 Speaker 1: for a year. He does not look like that guy. 35 00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:19,760 Speaker 1: He looks um physically, he looks bigger, stronger, He looks 36 00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:22,680 Speaker 1: like he's been doing some things. But what happens is 37 00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:25,359 Speaker 1: is like he hasn't really been hit yet. I mean, 38 00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:27,680 Speaker 1: what you know, when Tyron Smith gets his hands on 39 00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:29,880 Speaker 1: him and technique and all that stuff, because he's going 40 00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:32,280 Speaker 1: to be a freak athlete that those that really doesn't 41 00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:35,320 Speaker 1: go away. It's just what happens when he's charged to, 42 00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:37,519 Speaker 1: you know, get in the mix there. I think that's 43 00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:39,800 Speaker 1: going to be an issue for him that you'll start 44 00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:42,320 Speaker 1: to see the rust when he really goes in and 45 00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:45,959 Speaker 1: the pads come on, you know, consistently, and he's trying 46 00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:49,080 Speaker 1: to mix it up with the best lineman in the NFL. Yeah, 47 00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:51,600 Speaker 1: I feel I feel two types of way about Randy 48 00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:55,160 Speaker 1: Gregory at the same time. One beyond impressed at where 49 00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:59,200 Speaker 1: he is. Honestly, I mean, what he did individuals on Saturday, Yeah, 50 00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:01,040 Speaker 1: I was. I thought he was going to do that 51 00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:03,440 Speaker 1: for the next week before he ever mixed into practice. 52 00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:05,000 Speaker 1: I didn't think we'd see him in a real practice 53 00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:08,119 Speaker 1: until we got back to Texas one day later. He's 54 00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:10,560 Speaker 1: mixing in there. Uh. He does not look like he's 55 00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:12,160 Speaker 1: been away from football for a year and a half. 56 00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:15,239 Speaker 1: He looks great. Literally got a sack in his first 57 00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:19,840 Speaker 1: practice back, beautiful twist on Tyron Crawford, looped outside and 58 00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:22,200 Speaker 1: took two linemen with him and he just had a 59 00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:24,919 Speaker 1: free run at the quarterback basically, And I mean he 60 00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:27,200 Speaker 1: would have put Dak Prescott on the ground for sure, 61 00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:31,560 Speaker 1: But at the same time, you know, tempering expectations. He 62 00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:33,840 Speaker 1: also got a he got a face full of Cam 63 00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:36,440 Speaker 1: Fleming too. I mean he got mashed a couple of times, 64 00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:39,920 Speaker 1: which you're gonna do that in line play in the NFL. 65 00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:42,360 Speaker 1: And uh, you know, I'm not ready to give him 66 00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:44,680 Speaker 1: ten sacks for the season just yet, but I'm beyond 67 00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:47,320 Speaker 1: impressed at the progress that he's made, you know, for him. 68 00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:50,560 Speaker 1: I think the way this is, this is set up 69 00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:54,600 Speaker 1: right now with DeMarcus Lawrence, You've got Taco, You've got 70 00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:57,800 Speaker 1: Dorence Armstrong is coming along to the point where you 71 00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:01,720 Speaker 1: think he's going to play and contribute. Um, if Gregory 72 00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:04,720 Speaker 1: is the guy that comes in on passing situations, I 73 00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:06,840 Speaker 1: think that that would be perfect for him because then 74 00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:09,960 Speaker 1: he doesn't have to play a lot of snaps. He'll 75 00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:12,080 Speaker 1: be fresh. Like we said, he's going to be this 76 00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:14,440 Speaker 1: freak guy that comes in that's fresh, and then you 77 00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:16,400 Speaker 1: know he has to go up against these these tackles 78 00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:19,040 Speaker 1: all game. I think that would be a great situation 79 00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:21,039 Speaker 1: for him if if he can do that. Yeah, they 80 00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:22,920 Speaker 1: I think it was walked through a couple of days ago. 81 00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:26,320 Speaker 1: They had a line up where DeMarcus was at left in, 82 00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:28,960 Speaker 1: Randy was at right in Tyrone Crawford was at the 83 00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:31,680 Speaker 1: three technique. I don't remember who was at the one. 84 00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:34,479 Speaker 1: I would guess Dayton and Jones, but either I saw 85 00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:37,040 Speaker 1: it and I was like, oh, that's that would be exciting. 86 00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:40,640 Speaker 1: Um And yet, so you know, Jerry Jones said he 87 00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:44,479 Speaker 1: expects him to contribute week one. Jerry, I mean Jerry. 88 00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:47,240 Speaker 1: But Jerry Jones gave Jalen Smith the green light the 89 00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:50,520 Speaker 1: day they drafted him, you know, like, so he's expected 90 00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:52,719 Speaker 1: Randy Gregory to play a lot more than he has 91 00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:55,800 Speaker 1: since when he drafted him. Yeah, he's sixtieth, which I 92 00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:58,000 Speaker 1: love that about him, but he is he is the 93 00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:02,000 Speaker 1: most optimistic person on planet Earth, other than maybe Jalen Smay. 94 00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:05,080 Speaker 1: But but also if you say, do you do you 95 00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:09,240 Speaker 1: expect Randy Gregory to contribute in Week one against Carolina? 96 00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:12,800 Speaker 1: If you ask that question, and he was like, yeah, yeah, 97 00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:16,839 Speaker 1: I think so he was yes, yes, yes, yes, yeah, no, 98 00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:21,080 Speaker 1: yes I do. I still I think Jerry like that, Yes, 99 00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:24,880 Speaker 1: I think you gotta take like the realistic truth is 100 00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:27,640 Speaker 1: usually a notch or two below what Jerry says. In 101 00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:30,560 Speaker 1: my experience, Yeah, yeah, but I expect him to be 102 00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:33,800 Speaker 1: And that was David Hellman that said that. David Hellman, 103 00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:36,520 Speaker 1: He's an optimistic He's an optimistic guy. It's a I 104 00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:38,359 Speaker 1: think it's great you want to believe in your players, 105 00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:41,240 Speaker 1: but I gotta set it just a bar or two below. 106 00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:44,279 Speaker 1: But yeah, I expect I expect Brandy Gregory to be 107 00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:48,120 Speaker 1: in uniform exactly. It's fair to say that before we 108 00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:50,839 Speaker 1: got here at training camp, we were all kind of like, 109 00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:54,520 Speaker 1: let's just wait and see what happens. And now it's 110 00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:56,880 Speaker 1: getting to a point that we see him at practice, right, 111 00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:59,760 Speaker 1: and it's impressive to see how he has come back 112 00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:02,680 Speaker 1: in his level, checking every single box. Yeah, he does. 113 00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:05,039 Speaker 1: I mean like he's not He doesn't look like a 114 00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:07,080 Speaker 1: guy who hasn't been doing anything. He looks like he's 115 00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:10,200 Speaker 1: really taken this seriously. Like I mean, he got in 116 00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:12,080 Speaker 1: there and got a sack on like his third rep 117 00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:18,120 Speaker 1: since twenty sixteen. That's crazy. Ye. So um, it's it's 118 00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:20,200 Speaker 1: early for me to you know, I wouldn't expect him 119 00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:22,240 Speaker 1: to play one hundred percent of the snaps against the Panthers. 120 00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:25,240 Speaker 1: I think that's a little ambitious, but he's gonna have 121 00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:29,600 Speaker 1: a role to play. He's uh, he is definitely freakish. 122 00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:34,520 Speaker 1: Someone would call him Freaco heard I've heard Freako Gathers 123 00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:37,240 Speaker 1: being why are you looking at my notes? Oh I'm 124 00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:44,000 Speaker 1: not okay. Yes, I was gonna say. Somebody else who 125 00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:52,000 Speaker 1: made a freakish play yesterday was mister Rico Gathers. Rico 126 00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:56,440 Speaker 1: made a play one hand catch from a pass thrown 127 00:06:56,560 --> 00:07:00,440 Speaker 1: by play the game. I can't do that, ucks, I 128 00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:03,000 Speaker 1: can't play that game. Sorry, you're married to a Mexican. 129 00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:07,039 Speaker 1: I can't do it. Okay, part of the deal that 130 00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:11,320 Speaker 1: wasn't okay. So Cooper Rush threw a pass down, Rico 131 00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:14,320 Speaker 1: just kind of caught it with one hand. I was 132 00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:17,280 Speaker 1: watching it, and he almost seemed like as soon as 133 00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:19,080 Speaker 1: I looked down, I'm like, oh, he didn't catch that. 134 00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:21,240 Speaker 1: He caught it. He caught it. He caught it, and 135 00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:25,640 Speaker 1: it was I would say, one of the most impressive plays. 136 00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:30,680 Speaker 1: Oh my god, this is just hype episode of camp. Yeah, 137 00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:34,960 Speaker 1: so again it Archie really good. Rico Gathers really good. 138 00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:39,160 Speaker 1: Both initials get that he went full extendo to quote future. 139 00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:42,680 Speaker 1: He sure did. So how realistic? I mean, how do 140 00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:46,000 Speaker 1: you really rate this guy when he comes out and 141 00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:49,200 Speaker 1: makes those plays. I mean, he has proven that he 142 00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:52,920 Speaker 1: can catch the ball for sure, but at the same time, 143 00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:55,080 Speaker 1: he's missing a lot of those elements, and we keep 144 00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:57,880 Speaker 1: talking about him, but how do you really rate this 145 00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:00,920 Speaker 1: guy that just makes flashy plays from time to time, 146 00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:04,119 Speaker 1: but in reality for a tight end. I mean, I don't. 147 00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:07,080 Speaker 1: And Rico said that yesterday. He was like, you know, 148 00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:09,760 Speaker 1: I'm not about the flash play. It's all about consistency. 149 00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:12,040 Speaker 1: Like coaches don't like a player who does that once 150 00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:15,320 Speaker 1: and then disappears for two weeks. It's about building consistency. Honestly, 151 00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:17,760 Speaker 1: I don't say this to dog Rico. I don't feel 152 00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:20,080 Speaker 1: any differently about him than I did before he did that, 153 00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:21,920 Speaker 1: because we knew he could do that. Honestly, I thought 154 00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:24,360 Speaker 1: he would do something like that in the San Frand game. 155 00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:26,720 Speaker 1: I didn't know they were only gonna give him sixteen snaps. 156 00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:30,320 Speaker 1: There's there are guys, and I'll use a basketball reference 157 00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:32,800 Speaker 1: because he was a basketball player. I mean, there are 158 00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:35,480 Speaker 1: guys that can have the greatest dunks that will be 159 00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:37,840 Speaker 1: in the dunk contest, but they don't play defense, they 160 00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:40,080 Speaker 1: don't get rebounds, and so therefore they're kind of a 161 00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:44,320 Speaker 1: liability out there. Yeah, they can be some great highlight plays, 162 00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:46,480 Speaker 1: but they don't do all of the things enough to 163 00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:48,480 Speaker 1: be on the field. Or on the court for that 164 00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:50,640 Speaker 1: for that matter. I think that's the same with him. 165 00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:52,520 Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, he's gonna he's gonna look do some 166 00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:55,000 Speaker 1: really good good things out here. But if he if 167 00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:57,440 Speaker 1: he misses the wrong guy on a blitz and all 168 00:08:57,480 --> 00:08:59,840 Speaker 1: of a sudden dacks in the ground looking at his earhole, 169 00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:02,640 Speaker 1: that's that's kind of a problem, wish, And that's what 170 00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:05,360 Speaker 1: we got. I don't know, twenty something days until they 171 00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:08,720 Speaker 1: cut their roster down twenty I think nineteen. Actually, I 172 00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:12,280 Speaker 1: think it's less than that. Rico is not going to 173 00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:14,880 Speaker 1: become this all around tight end between now and then. 174 00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:17,040 Speaker 1: It's just not gonna happen. Are you reading into the 175 00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:20,480 Speaker 1: fact that the Cowboys didn't really give him those ways 176 00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:23,200 Speaker 1: during that game? It was curious, It was curious to me. 177 00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:26,160 Speaker 1: But there's still plenty of game time left. Like that 178 00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:28,960 Speaker 1: doesn't bother me, because you could you can uptick his 179 00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:31,439 Speaker 1: reps as much as you want as we go. What 180 00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:34,920 Speaker 1: the point I was gonna make is, basically, the Cowboys 181 00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:37,319 Speaker 1: are going to have to decide if that playmaking ability 182 00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:41,679 Speaker 1: merits a roster spot over his liabilities elsewhere. Like he 183 00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:43,840 Speaker 1: is what he is at this point, in my opinion, 184 00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:46,400 Speaker 1: and you're gonna have to decide if that ability to 185 00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:49,040 Speaker 1: make those type of plays justifies a roster spot. You know, 186 00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:51,440 Speaker 1: when you think about what happened last year in the 187 00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:56,240 Speaker 1: preseason games, Jason Witten was the starter. He wasn't going 188 00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:58,320 Speaker 1: to play that. I don't think he played the Hall 189 00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:01,280 Speaker 1: of Fame game, and he didn't play much of the 190 00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:03,440 Speaker 1: second game, so you know he's not going to get 191 00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:05,200 Speaker 1: a lot of reps. James Hannah was on the roster. 192 00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:06,800 Speaker 1: He was kind of banged up. He's not going to 193 00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:08,800 Speaker 1: get a lot of reps, right, So Rico was gonna 194 00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:11,520 Speaker 1: play more in that game than he would right here, 195 00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:14,120 Speaker 1: because you're in a situation where they need to see Swim, 196 00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:15,640 Speaker 1: they need to see jar when they need to see 197 00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:19,720 Speaker 1: Dalton Schultz. So even though he's a year removed and 198 00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:22,200 Speaker 1: he's a year more experienced, he's a little further on 199 00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:25,240 Speaker 1: the depth chart for preseason games, right because of the 200 00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:26,959 Speaker 1: guys ahead of him. I don't read in Yeah, I 201 00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:28,760 Speaker 1: don't read into that at all. Like I said, there's 202 00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:31,480 Speaker 1: there's three more games. He could play the entire Houston game. 203 00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:34,280 Speaker 1: I'm sure he'll get more snaps in these middle two games. 204 00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:38,199 Speaker 1: But my just My point is that he's not He's 205 00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:40,120 Speaker 1: not gonna become a better blocker than Jeff Swim in 206 00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:43,920 Speaker 1: the next nineteen days. I don't think so. Um and no, 207 00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:47,600 Speaker 1: but still it's it's it's a fascinating question because I 208 00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:50,280 Speaker 1: think you could easily make an argument that his playmaking 209 00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:52,719 Speaker 1: ability makes him worth keeping. I don't know if they 210 00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:55,400 Speaker 1: feel that way, but it's something to watch. I feel 211 00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:58,360 Speaker 1: like you're an argument either way, you know, if you 212 00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:00,439 Speaker 1: didn't want to keep him or if he did when 213 00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:03,079 Speaker 1: I kid, can absolutely make an argument for keeping him 214 00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:05,240 Speaker 1: on or off the roster, and it's not hard to 215 00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:07,199 Speaker 1: make either one, and it's just going to come down 216 00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:10,440 Speaker 1: to the opinions of the people that actually make those decisions. Yeah, well, 217 00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:13,000 Speaker 1: we'll see what happens with him. In the meantime. Let's 218 00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:17,520 Speaker 1: jump into Jalen Smith. Yesterday I tweeted out something about 219 00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:20,720 Speaker 1: him being on fire and that y'all better watch out 220 00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:23,440 Speaker 1: for him, and people there were a few that came 221 00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:27,880 Speaker 1: at me saying, it's just practice, man, Okay, get over 222 00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:30,360 Speaker 1: that's what they sound like. Yeah, that's that's how I 223 00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:35,400 Speaker 1: read it. It's okay, let's get over the fact that 224 00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:39,440 Speaker 1: it's practiced. You just need to watch Jalen move around 225 00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:42,760 Speaker 1: and how he's moving doesn't matter if he's making those tackles, 226 00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:45,800 Speaker 1: because obviously they can really do that out here. But 227 00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:49,120 Speaker 1: the fact that just the spin move. You guys saw 228 00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:53,240 Speaker 1: that movie yesterday, that was amazing the way he moved 229 00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:55,880 Speaker 1: and was able to react that quick. I mean, how 230 00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:57,640 Speaker 1: do you evaluate a guy like this and how do 231 00:11:57,720 --> 00:12:03,440 Speaker 1: you shut those people up that in Okay, you're sure 232 00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:05,600 Speaker 1: that it's not, like you know what, it is practice 233 00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:08,400 Speaker 1: right now, Let's wait and see this is strictly a 234 00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:11,040 Speaker 1: practice setting. We'll find out a little bit later on 235 00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:14,240 Speaker 1: if he can play with the lights. Yeah, Amber cares 236 00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:17,120 Speaker 1: more about shutting up her mentions than she cares about 237 00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:20,000 Speaker 1: getting getting to the bottom of no. Because again, and 238 00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:23,559 Speaker 1: we've talked about how hard it is to evaluate linebackers 239 00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:26,320 Speaker 1: in training camp, but at the same time, there are 240 00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:28,920 Speaker 1: certain things that you can look at as far as 241 00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:32,280 Speaker 1: those movements and those reflexes. You're absolutely and it is 242 00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:34,640 Speaker 1: hard to evaluate linebackers, But just look at the stuff 243 00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:36,880 Speaker 1: he's doing out here. You're right, I'm I'm ticked because 244 00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:40,040 Speaker 1: I got that spin move on on video, but I 245 00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:42,920 Speaker 1: was so zoomed out that they look like little ants 246 00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:46,200 Speaker 1: and get like he which I'm Dalton Schultz is a rookie, 247 00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:50,160 Speaker 1: but man, he just he like he spun on him 248 00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:52,680 Speaker 1: and like the move just made Dalton Schultz fall down, 249 00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:55,240 Speaker 1: like he was so surprised to see a linebacker do that. 250 00:12:56,040 --> 00:12:59,080 Speaker 1: It was great. But just look at the stuff Jalen's 251 00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:02,079 Speaker 1: doing out here, Like he's carrying receivers and tight ends 252 00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:05,560 Speaker 1: down the field, he's shedding blocks, he's getting moving latterly 253 00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:07,520 Speaker 1: to get to the ball. I'm with you, dude, and 254 00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:10,959 Speaker 1: I Jerry Jones said this last night too. He said, uh, 255 00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:12,880 Speaker 1: you know, based on what I've seen in practice and 256 00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:15,880 Speaker 1: and that game, uh and and his off field demeanor 257 00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:19,040 Speaker 1: and everything like that, I'm absolutely convinced right now that 258 00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:21,280 Speaker 1: he was worth the second round pick we spent on him. 259 00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:24,280 Speaker 1: I think he said he used the word cornerstone. He said, 260 00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:26,160 Speaker 1: I think he could be a cornerstone for our team, 261 00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:28,640 Speaker 1: both as a player and as an off the field 262 00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:33,280 Speaker 1: right kind of guy type of dude. Uh yeah, another. 263 00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:37,640 Speaker 1: I mean, but you know what, the three people that 264 00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:42,240 Speaker 1: you've mentioned so far, Randy Gregory, Rico Gathers, and Jalen Smith, 265 00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:46,040 Speaker 1: they're all very similar in one one way. Yeah, highly 266 00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:49,079 Speaker 1: talented but unproven. Yes, the cow ways to get chanced, 267 00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:52,760 Speaker 1: but they've got freaky talent that that has to be 268 00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:55,400 Speaker 1: kind of tapped into. But in Farrico, it's it's a 269 00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:58,400 Speaker 1: lot different than the others. Um you know, for Gregor, 270 00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:01,120 Speaker 1: they all have their different issues, they have different obstacles 271 00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:04,120 Speaker 1: that they have to overcome. But for for Jalen Smith, 272 00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:07,240 Speaker 1: it looks like he's getting there. He's he is showing 273 00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:11,600 Speaker 1: what they drafted out of him, and he's got freakish skills. 274 00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:14,160 Speaker 1: And as you saw with this spin movie, here's the 275 00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:16,319 Speaker 1: thing with Jalen Smith, which and I said this last 276 00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:19,280 Speaker 1: night on Twitter two is I'm I'm cynical to a fault, 277 00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:22,360 Speaker 1: Like I'm always the like, I take every I don't 278 00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:25,560 Speaker 1: take anything at face value. Everybody's got an ulterior motive. 279 00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:29,480 Speaker 1: I just I Again, that's me as a person. I'm 280 00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:32,920 Speaker 1: just a skeptic and it's my flaw. But I have 281 00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:35,520 Speaker 1: a hard time not buying into what I'm seeing from 282 00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:39,720 Speaker 1: Jalen Smith because you see the athleticism, you see the talent, 283 00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:42,560 Speaker 1: you see the instincts, and then on top of that, 284 00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:45,480 Speaker 1: you see what the Cowboys did with their linebacker Corps. 285 00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:48,400 Speaker 1: And that's why that was so important, because why was 286 00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:50,800 Speaker 1: Jalen Smith bad last year or not bad? But when 287 00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:53,120 Speaker 1: did he have his shortcomings? When he was thrown out 288 00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:56,760 Speaker 1: there for sixteen seventy eight plays. He doesn't have to 289 00:14:56,760 --> 00:14:59,920 Speaker 1: do that this year because between Shawn Lee, Layton Vander 290 00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:03,240 Speaker 1: and Joe Thomas, who is a surprised star of camp, 291 00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:06,240 Speaker 1: there are there are bodies that keep him from having 292 00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:07,960 Speaker 1: to do that. You can keep him fresh, you can 293 00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:11,720 Speaker 1: keep him fluid. And I'm just I'm having a hard 294 00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:15,600 Speaker 1: time not buying into him taking a step and being 295 00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:18,240 Speaker 1: like a legitimate playmaker for this team. Like everything I've 296 00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:21,000 Speaker 1: seen out here. I'm not saying it's definitely gonna happen, 297 00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:23,280 Speaker 1: but but I'm yeah, I'm having a hard time not 298 00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:25,240 Speaker 1: buying into the hype. And one of the questions I 299 00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:29,280 Speaker 1: have people tend to ask and base his level of, 300 00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:33,160 Speaker 1: you know, playmaking, is comparing him to the guy that 301 00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:36,320 Speaker 1: he was a Notre dame and you know, is he 302 00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:39,120 Speaker 1: back to that level yet or not? And I'm just 303 00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:41,800 Speaker 1: asking this because I get I see this on Twitter 304 00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:44,480 Speaker 1: all the time. How would you rate this player that 305 00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:47,160 Speaker 1: Jalen Smith is at right now versus the one that 306 00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:49,600 Speaker 1: he was in college. I think that's a good question. 307 00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:53,080 Speaker 1: I think that you know, anybody that's entering their third 308 00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:55,280 Speaker 1: pro season. Now, I understanding he didn't play his first year, 309 00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:57,440 Speaker 1: he was still here, he still kind of got an 310 00:15:57,520 --> 00:16:01,240 Speaker 1: understanding of NFL life. I think he's a he's got 311 00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:05,720 Speaker 1: to be a smarter, more aware, alert player. M I 312 00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:08,520 Speaker 1: bet you he is a better football player than he 313 00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:11,800 Speaker 1: was at Notre Dame right now. Now. Now he's not 314 00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:14,320 Speaker 1: going up against Navy. I mean he's he's not going 315 00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:18,600 Speaker 1: up against against those those teams, you know, Michigan, Michigan 316 00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:21,600 Speaker 1: state that that's that he's going up against better players 317 00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:24,760 Speaker 1: obviously here. But it seems like he is back to 318 00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:27,920 Speaker 1: that physical level. He's bigger and stronger too. His upper 319 00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:30,120 Speaker 1: body is a lot bigger, and he's got to be 320 00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:32,160 Speaker 1: more aware. So I think he's a better football player. 321 00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:35,520 Speaker 1: But I think the cornerback, I think Tarverius Ward is 322 00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:38,520 Speaker 1: probably better than he was at his place. I mean, 323 00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:41,080 Speaker 1: the thing that's just normal, yeah, evolved.

Back to the break, all right, 367 00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:57,320 Speaker 1: we were talking about Jalen Smith, and now I want 368 00:18:57,320 --> 00:19:01,040 Speaker 1: to keep you going on regards to the backer position, 369 00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:04,439 Speaker 1: which is I mean, I feel kind of we're saying this, 370 00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:07,760 Speaker 1: but if healthy in that game, I don't know where. 371 00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:13,080 Speaker 1: If healthy, this group, I would say is one of 372 00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:17,000 Speaker 1: the most talented groups that the Cowboys have on their 373 00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:21,480 Speaker 1: whole team. This is trying to trade someone. No, no, no, 374 00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:24,960 Speaker 1: I don't like that idea. I said, this is this 375 00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:27,320 Speaker 1: is I've been doing an informal poll around camp because 376 00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:30,440 Speaker 1: I this thought occurred to me after watching practice last 377 00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:32,399 Speaker 1: night with you know, Jalen doing his spin move and 378 00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:37,520 Speaker 1: Layton vanders back. I pulled about five people around camp 379 00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:39,439 Speaker 1: last and I was like, Okay, let's all just assume 380 00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:41,960 Speaker 1: that we agree that the Cowboys offensive line is the 381 00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:44,639 Speaker 1: best position group on this team. Think everybody would agree 382 00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:49,720 Speaker 1: with that linebacker linebacker? Yeah. And I thought that, and 383 00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:53,200 Speaker 1: I thought I was crazy, And four different people agreed 384 00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:54,920 Speaker 1: with me. They're like, yeah, no, I mean, if they're 385 00:19:54,920 --> 00:19:56,720 Speaker 1: all out there, if they're all practicing, it's a pretty 386 00:19:56,760 --> 00:19:59,080 Speaker 1: impressive group. I would I would not agree with that. 387 00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:01,879 Speaker 1: I think it's close, it's up there. I would say 388 00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:07,359 Speaker 1: the running back position, I think you you definitely have 389 00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:10,800 Speaker 1: an elite player in the NFL. I think you've got 390 00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:14,879 Speaker 1: a capable backup in Rod Smith who's versatile. I put 391 00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:17,280 Speaker 1: Jama's all the Whalley in there as as a fullback 392 00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:20,200 Speaker 1: that does some unique things. I think both Scarborough's gonna 393 00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:24,000 Speaker 1: get into this mix. Um, I would just say running 394 00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:26,160 Speaker 1: back because they're a little bit more proven and more elite. 395 00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:30,000 Speaker 1: But I can't disagree that linebacker is right there, especially 396 00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:31,760 Speaker 1: from the defensive side of the ball. I don't have 397 00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:34,359 Speaker 1: a I ranked them all like one to ten and 398 00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:36,840 Speaker 1: I put running back third. So I don't disagree with 399 00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:39,280 Speaker 1: you terribly. But hold on, hold on, you did this 400 00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:43,240 Speaker 1: ranking wear just in my head I write stuff like this. Yeah, 401 00:20:43,280 --> 00:20:45,560 Speaker 1: I could definitely write something about it. If that's ten 402 00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:49,560 Speaker 1: top ten, it's a good point, Dave top ten position, 403 00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:53,320 Speaker 1: so watch out for that. Yeah, that top ten list 404 00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:56,439 Speaker 1: that David is gonna be working on. You doesn't have 405 00:20:56,440 --> 00:20:59,800 Speaker 1: to do anything, Just give me the list. Um yeah, no, 406 00:20:59,840 --> 00:21:03,359 Speaker 1: I'm I mean, I cannot say enough about how impressive 407 00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:06,359 Speaker 1: these linebackers are. And again, I mean it's completely fair. 408 00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:08,560 Speaker 1: If you're at home to say, well, they're not all 409 00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:10,920 Speaker 1: going to be healthy, like, I mean, it's fair, but 410 00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:14,400 Speaker 1: that's why it's so cool what they did. I mean 411 00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:18,119 Speaker 1: much like much like the secondary last like they turned 412 00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:21,280 Speaker 1: this unit over in a year. I mean, Shaan Lee, 413 00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:23,880 Speaker 1: if he's healthy, is an all pro. I just got 414 00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:28,840 Speaker 1: done gushing about Jalen Smith, Joe Thomas I've has looked 415 00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:32,200 Speaker 1: very impressive. And then you've got Layton vander Esch, who 416 00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:34,400 Speaker 1: you know, he doesn't look like a world beater yet, 417 00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:37,920 Speaker 1: but he has flashed some very promising potential. And then 418 00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:39,639 Speaker 1: even you know, Damian Wilson is a guy who was 419 00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:41,920 Speaker 1: starting experience who has looked good out here. I don't 420 00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:44,960 Speaker 1: think you want him starting regularly, but if he's your 421 00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:48,119 Speaker 1: fifth linebacker off the you know, if he's your fifth linebacker, 422 00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:50,760 Speaker 1: that's pretty good. And the same thing goes for Justin 423 00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:53,280 Speaker 1: march Lillard, who's another guy that I think has been impressive. 424 00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:57,040 Speaker 1: Maybe throw in Chris Covington as a special teams player 425 00:21:57,080 --> 00:21:59,080 Speaker 1: and you got a pretty nice little unit right there. Yeah. 426 00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:02,240 Speaker 1: And I just think when if you look around the league, 427 00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:05,560 Speaker 1: somebody loses some linebackers and then maybe they want to 428 00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:07,160 Speaker 1: make a trade man. Maybe it gets to that point 429 00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:09,879 Speaker 1: where they have a tied in or you need to 430 00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:13,400 Speaker 1: you need to get depth as certain the spot. I'm 431 00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:15,960 Speaker 1: not talking about a safety. I'm just talking about you 432 00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:17,919 Speaker 1: know this, that's the time you where you make some trades. 433 00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:20,360 Speaker 1: I could see where the Cowboys would say we could 434 00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:24,399 Speaker 1: part with a linebacker, which maybe I get your logic. 435 00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:27,600 Speaker 1: The reason the reason I said I don't like that 436 00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:32,119 Speaker 1: idea is because this linebacker group has not earned our trust. 437 00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:34,680 Speaker 1: Like if if Sean Lee was Zach Martin and he'd 438 00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:36,640 Speaker 1: never missed a snap in his career and be like, yeah, well, 439 00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:38,760 Speaker 1: what can we get for these guys? But it's not 440 00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:42,240 Speaker 1: the case. How can it earn? Not earn your trust, 441 00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:46,240 Speaker 1: but it earns the number two spot on your list 442 00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:49,280 Speaker 1: is your list talent list. We're talking about right now. 443 00:22:49,320 --> 00:22:51,600 Speaker 1: What I've seen from twenty days of training camp, all right, 444 00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:56,159 Speaker 1: but given the history of things, I know. But and 445 00:22:56,359 --> 00:22:59,080 Speaker 1: another part of that is, you know, last year, on paper, 446 00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:02,240 Speaker 1: the linebacking corps didn't look terrible either, but it fell apart, 447 00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:05,920 Speaker 1: and so it's highly talented. But I really think they're 448 00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:08,359 Speaker 1: better equipped to weather that if it happens again this 449 00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:11,119 Speaker 1: year yeah, and then we kind of hit on the 450 00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:13,960 Speaker 1: running back position. I wanted to talk about a Sekiel 451 00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:18,120 Speaker 1: Elliott And now we're starting to see a different role 452 00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:21,439 Speaker 1: that he's playing in the offense, you know, getting more 453 00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:26,520 Speaker 1: of those acting more as a receiver, receiver that accent 454 00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:31,640 Speaker 1: just can't get away from. Sorry, never apologize for being 455 00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:35,360 Speaker 1: you Amber acting. Thank you, Dave acting more as a receiver. 456 00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:38,400 Speaker 1: So I wanted to see with you guys, are you 457 00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:42,960 Speaker 1: guys liking that role? I mean, is he playing well 458 00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:46,040 Speaker 1: at that position of yeah, do you know, acting more 459 00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:48,240 Speaker 1: as a receiver and catching the ball more. I think 460 00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:51,760 Speaker 1: that it's going to be interesting to see is he 461 00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:55,600 Speaker 1: a receiver when things break down? Are they going to 462 00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:59,440 Speaker 1: actually get him the ball? Like guy like Levon Bell 463 00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:03,080 Speaker 1: and Pittsburgh, he catches the ball because that's the play. 464 00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:05,120 Speaker 1: The play is to throw him the ball and get 465 00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:07,160 Speaker 1: him get him out there. And I don't really know 466 00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:09,840 Speaker 1: if it's other than a few screens here and there 467 00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:12,440 Speaker 1: that just go eighty three and seventy yards for touchdowns. 468 00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:14,920 Speaker 1: So maybe they should do it more. But oh those 469 00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:16,720 Speaker 1: design screens. A lot of times it's more of kind 470 00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:19,440 Speaker 1: of a dump you know, dump pass Flair's screen and 471 00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:21,679 Speaker 1: all that kind of stuff, So I think that they 472 00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:23,400 Speaker 1: should try to get the ball to him a little 473 00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:25,600 Speaker 1: bit more out in space. But usually the way this 474 00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:29,360 Speaker 1: offense goes, it's kind of a check down to him. 475 00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:33,240 Speaker 1: You're right, and that's you know again, I guess what 476 00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:35,199 Speaker 1: the question. I didn't answer the question at all, the 477 00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:37,960 Speaker 1: question should you should they throw the ball to him? Are? 478 00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:40,000 Speaker 1: It's really what it comes down to. Should they make 479 00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:42,760 Speaker 1: him more of the offense for the passing game? I mean, 480 00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:44,960 Speaker 1: do you do okay, Dave, do you like him better 481 00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:48,560 Speaker 1: as a receiver type, you know, playing those screen passes 482 00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:52,000 Speaker 1: or just have him just run the ball? Bat want 483 00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:54,840 Speaker 1: him to do it all. He should do all of 484 00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:58,160 Speaker 1: that stuff, and he has out here, That's the important thing, 485 00:24:58,280 --> 00:25:01,119 Speaker 1: which I gotta see it translate by He's been split 486 00:25:01,119 --> 00:25:03,359 Speaker 1: out wide, he's run some routes down the seam, he's 487 00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:06,520 Speaker 1: run some Texas routes. He's He's done more of that 488 00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:09,879 Speaker 1: receiver type stuff out here than I can remember at 489 00:25:09,920 --> 00:25:11,960 Speaker 1: any point in camp. And I actually asked him that 490 00:25:12,080 --> 00:25:14,479 Speaker 1: yesterday and he was like, yeah, it's been a heavier 491 00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:17,159 Speaker 1: workload in that regard, but I like it. I'm up 492 00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:20,680 Speaker 1: for it, which I love to hear. I you know, well, 493 00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:22,600 Speaker 1: we argued about this with Nate the other day, Like 494 00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:25,679 Speaker 1: he needs to have north of him, he needs to 495 00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:28,800 Speaker 1: have north of three hundred carries and when that's why 496 00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:33,440 Speaker 1: he suspended Yeah, yeah, Nate suspended me. He think Nate 497 00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:36,960 Speaker 1: he needs now he needs to be running the hell 498 00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:39,360 Speaker 1: out of the rock and he needs to have more 499 00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:42,880 Speaker 1: than fifty targets. And he's I think he's got like 500 00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:46,080 Speaker 1: what he's got somewhere in the neighborhood of forty receptions 501 00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:48,200 Speaker 1: for his career. Like that's not just that's not good 502 00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:50,560 Speaker 1: enough for a guy that's talented, Like he needs to 503 00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:52,880 Speaker 1: be doing everything in the mold of a Levion Bell 504 00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:55,199 Speaker 1: or a David Johnson. My my take on him, and 505 00:25:55,320 --> 00:25:57,199 Speaker 1: it might be one that you've heard before, but my 506 00:25:57,320 --> 00:25:59,720 Speaker 1: take on as he kill it Elliott is he's just 507 00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:01,960 Speaker 1: him good football player and he has been for a 508 00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:05,479 Speaker 1: long time. And you know, yeah, you want to give 509 00:26:05,560 --> 00:26:08,800 Speaker 1: him the ball, uh in the passing game, the running 510 00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:10,840 Speaker 1: game and do it all, you know, you know, and 511 00:26:10,920 --> 00:26:13,280 Speaker 1: he loves football. He's passionate about football. He comes to 512 00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:16,680 Speaker 1: world Line one in the NFL running back is being 513 00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:19,400 Speaker 1: able to do it all. I'm just I'm super encouraged 514 00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:21,840 Speaker 1: about what they've done with him out here and what 515 00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:23,959 Speaker 1: he looks like like he just he looks like a 516 00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:28,760 Speaker 1: different player and absolutely that the I hate, I hate 517 00:26:28,760 --> 00:26:31,359 Speaker 1: giving fantasy football advice, but like the easiest way I 518 00:26:31,359 --> 00:26:34,400 Speaker 1: could say it is draft him, Draft him high, draft 519 00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:36,920 Speaker 1: him first, honestly, like I think so, I'm I think 520 00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:39,480 Speaker 1: he's gonna he's primed for who do you think here? 521 00:26:40,240 --> 00:26:42,920 Speaker 1: And the fact that he came back from the whole 522 00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:45,320 Speaker 1: mess that happened last year and this year he's been 523 00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:49,399 Speaker 1: he has not caused any problems. Not him on his 524 00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:53,280 Speaker 1: plate other than being running back. I don't know if 525 00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:54,680 Speaker 1: this is on it like a list of what we 526 00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:56,720 Speaker 1: were talking about, but you don't have to give me 527 00:26:56,800 --> 00:26:59,160 Speaker 1: a top ten. But who would be like the best player? 528 00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:04,199 Speaker 1: Jalen Smith has been like outstanding and so as Ezekiel Elliott. 529 00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:06,160 Speaker 1: Who would be the number one player right now? We're 530 00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:07,520 Speaker 1: gonna do this at the end of camp, But who 531 00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:10,240 Speaker 1: would be like a vote for you of this guy's 532 00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:12,359 Speaker 1: been the best player at training camp? Camp MVP is 533 00:27:12,359 --> 00:27:15,080 Speaker 1: one of our twenty questions that we talked about. Zeke 534 00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:17,280 Speaker 1: is in the Zeke is on the short list. Jalen 535 00:27:17,320 --> 00:27:21,080 Speaker 1: Smith is shirt certainly on the short list. Um about you, 536 00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:24,800 Speaker 1: Tavon Austin, Tavon got a lot of uh, got a 537 00:27:24,800 --> 00:27:26,919 Speaker 1: lot of love. We're going to roll out of a 538 00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:30,120 Speaker 1: top ten of the newcomers, new faces, and it's got 539 00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:32,480 Speaker 1: away for everyone to turn their stuff. But when they do, 540 00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:36,040 Speaker 1: can get that up. You know, We've talked Jerry talked 541 00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:37,920 Speaker 1: to the media last night. We've mentioned him a few times. 542 00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:40,159 Speaker 1: He kind of held court with the reporters last night 543 00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:44,000 Speaker 1: after practice, and he praised Tavon, not just for what 544 00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:46,400 Speaker 1: he's done on the field, but he mean, I hate 545 00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:48,919 Speaker 1: he compared him to Michael Irvin just in terms of 546 00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:53,240 Speaker 1: the intensity and the let's you know, the competitive attitude 547 00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:55,400 Speaker 1: that he would bring. Yeah, and you see it. He's 548 00:27:55,480 --> 00:27:57,960 Speaker 1: I mean, he's a fiery guy. Like in terms of 549 00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:02,359 Speaker 1: who's going to replace Dez Scream. He'll dance around, He'll 550 00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:05,160 Speaker 1: act like he's on a horse jumping around. He does 551 00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:08,359 Speaker 1: he does. He does it a little bit differently than 552 00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:11,800 Speaker 1: does but he definitely brings that competitive spirit to every practice. 553 00:28:11,840 --> 00:28:13,880 Speaker 1: So he's he's been a great addition in a lot 554 00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:15,920 Speaker 1: of them. Yeah, and this and This is a good 555 00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:18,040 Speaker 1: set up for him and guy like him and Hearns 556 00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:23,160 Speaker 1: because this this wide receiver corps needed a leader like that. Um. Yes, 557 00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:25,639 Speaker 1: they had some holdovers in Terrence Williams and Cole Beasley, 558 00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:28,040 Speaker 1: but I think we're seeing that those guys aren't really 559 00:28:28,119 --> 00:28:31,359 Speaker 1: vocal leaders. They haven't really been that type of player, 560 00:28:31,359 --> 00:28:33,280 Speaker 1: and I think, I don't know, I could be wrong, 561 00:28:33,320 --> 00:28:36,080 Speaker 1: but they seem like they're kind of content in that 562 00:28:36,280 --> 00:28:38,560 Speaker 1: in that role of just going in here and working 563 00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:41,680 Speaker 1: hard and not really speaking up a whole lot. Um. 564 00:28:41,760 --> 00:28:44,160 Speaker 1: So I think the door was open for Tavon Austin 565 00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:45,960 Speaker 1: to come in and kind of play that role. And 566 00:28:46,320 --> 00:28:48,600 Speaker 1: he's not that much older than I don't know, was 567 00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:52,080 Speaker 1: the same draft class as Terrence thirteen ye yeah, and 568 00:28:52,160 --> 00:28:55,400 Speaker 1: Beasley was what twelve? I can't remember when Cole came 569 00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:58,200 Speaker 1: in twelve or eleven. He's been here a little bit 570 00:28:58,200 --> 00:29:01,280 Speaker 1: longer than that. So it's just a good It was 571 00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:03,400 Speaker 1: a good situation for Tavan to come in and kind 572 00:29:03,400 --> 00:29:05,760 Speaker 1: of established that leadership even though he hasn't been here 573 00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:08,560 Speaker 1: because this this wide receiver room needed that. He got 574 00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:10,920 Speaker 1: new codes, he got new players again to go back, 575 00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:13,640 Speaker 1: I mean go back to skeptic and senate and all that. 576 00:29:13,720 --> 00:29:17,240 Speaker 1: Like his career suggests that this isn't gonna work out. 577 00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:21,760 Speaker 1: But everything I've seen on these fields is that he 578 00:29:21,760 --> 00:29:23,760 Speaker 1: looks pretty damn good and I think he's going to 579 00:29:23,800 --> 00:29:27,040 Speaker 1: be an important part of this offense too. Yeah, I agree. Now, 580 00:29:28,440 --> 00:29:31,480 Speaker 1: now that we're talking about the receivers, just to mention 581 00:29:31,560 --> 00:29:35,880 Speaker 1: that real quick, Cole Beasley was not in practice yesterday either. 582 00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:38,760 Speaker 1: He did some stuff off to the side, but to 583 00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:40,920 Speaker 1: those of you who wanted to know, he wasn't there. 584 00:29:41,840 --> 00:29:45,080 Speaker 1: Another guy that was not there, Mark Queston Huff, a 585 00:29:45,200 --> 00:29:48,479 Speaker 1: guy that has been suffering. He got injured in this 586 00:29:48,560 --> 00:29:51,080 Speaker 1: past game against the forty nine ers. He has a 587 00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:55,080 Speaker 1: growing injury. The timetable is kind of questionable. Right now, 588 00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:58,120 Speaker 1: Let's just get down to brass tax Amber. What are 589 00:29:58,160 --> 00:30:00,120 Speaker 1: we gonna what are we gonna do about these safeties? Oh, 590 00:30:00,600 --> 00:30:06,840 Speaker 1: cave On Well was back at practice. He has h Soreny, 591 00:30:07,320 --> 00:30:10,640 Speaker 1: we're getting there just hitting those Those are two safeties 592 00:30:10,680 --> 00:30:14,640 Speaker 1: that are dealing with injuries. Yes, so again a position 593 00:30:14,760 --> 00:30:18,960 Speaker 1: that to begin with doesn't really have any depth to it. 594 00:30:19,280 --> 00:30:23,719 Speaker 1: Now we got two guys that are Yeah, never too 595 00:30:23,760 --> 00:30:27,040 Speaker 1: early to start talking about the safety. I'm not even 596 00:30:27,120 --> 00:30:30,240 Speaker 1: talking about that right now, Like, can we just that's 597 00:30:30,280 --> 00:30:32,400 Speaker 1: what That's what fans mar Quest and Huff like the 598 00:30:32,400 --> 00:30:35,720 Speaker 1: fifth safety. He's banged up straight for Earl? Right, where's 599 00:30:35,760 --> 00:30:38,680 Speaker 1: cave is n for Earl? Like they need it, that's 600 00:30:38,720 --> 00:30:41,440 Speaker 1: the answer to everything. They just need a guy trade 601 00:30:41,480 --> 00:30:43,800 Speaker 1: for Earl. They need a guy in here, which well 602 00:30:43,800 --> 00:30:46,720 Speaker 1: at this point, yes so at this point, but whether 603 00:30:46,760 --> 00:30:50,000 Speaker 1: it's Earl or not, Earl whoever, Danny mccraiey like works 604 00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:52,920 Speaker 1: in the league office now, I think he's's beyond retired. 605 00:30:53,120 --> 00:30:55,440 Speaker 1: He'll be able to get a credential pretty fast. Good point, 606 00:30:55,440 --> 00:30:58,240 Speaker 1: get over here. Okay, at this point, are the guy? 607 00:30:58,520 --> 00:31:02,440 Speaker 1: Are the Cowboys now really really really really in need 608 00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:05,480 Speaker 1: to bring in an extra body. I'm not speaking of 609 00:31:05,520 --> 00:31:08,720 Speaker 1: Earl Thomas whoever. Just a safety guy I don't know, 610 00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:11,840 Speaker 1: Jason Garrett said, yet so Mark queston Huff it looks 611 00:31:11,840 --> 00:31:13,360 Speaker 1: like he's gonna miss a little bit of time. And 612 00:31:13,440 --> 00:31:17,440 Speaker 1: Marcus Martin is another guy. Ye surgery, Jason Garrett said, 613 00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:20,360 Speaker 1: yesterday or maybe it was Saturday, He's like, we're gonna 614 00:31:20,400 --> 00:31:22,560 Speaker 1: need to bring a guy in. He did not specify 615 00:31:22,760 --> 00:31:25,480 Speaker 1: if he meant guard or safety or maybe he meant 616 00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:28,960 Speaker 1: receiver because Marchie Murdoch is hurt. I expect them to 617 00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:32,720 Speaker 1: add a guy sometime soon, but I, for the life 618 00:31:32,760 --> 00:31:34,080 Speaker 1: of me, don't know who it is. But I just 619 00:31:34,120 --> 00:31:38,400 Speaker 1: look at that safety depth chart. Okay, you got your starters, Cavan, 620 00:31:38,600 --> 00:31:41,200 Speaker 1: you probably want to be careful with He's, you know, 621 00:31:41,240 --> 00:31:42,920 Speaker 1: make sure his knee feels good. And then Huff is 622 00:31:42,920 --> 00:31:45,239 Speaker 1: in practicing, so you've you've got right now, you have 623 00:31:45,320 --> 00:31:49,360 Speaker 1: Heath Woods and Jamille Showers and then I okay, you 624 00:31:49,480 --> 00:31:52,720 Speaker 1: got Cam Kelly and Tyree Robins, Himson Robins and the 625 00:31:52,800 --> 00:31:56,120 Speaker 1: depth the depth situation just does not look good. And 626 00:31:56,240 --> 00:31:58,760 Speaker 1: I just wonder when it's all said and done, and 627 00:31:58,840 --> 00:32:02,360 Speaker 1: I'm not talking about Earl Thomas, I just won't be 628 00:32:02,400 --> 00:32:05,240 Speaker 1: surprised if they're LA the force safety on the depth 629 00:32:05,320 --> 00:32:08,280 Speaker 1: chart isn't here, right. Yeah, I think if I were 630 00:32:08,320 --> 00:32:10,520 Speaker 1: the Cowboys, I would try to get a safety like 631 00:32:10,680 --> 00:32:16,600 Speaker 1: another Marquest and Huff another veteran who's been around, bounced 632 00:32:16,640 --> 00:32:18,720 Speaker 1: around a little bit, been on some practice squads, got 633 00:32:18,760 --> 00:32:22,200 Speaker 1: some games. It's still like the veteran minimum somebody like that. 634 00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:24,640 Speaker 1: That That's who I would Again, I don't really know 635 00:32:24,680 --> 00:32:26,800 Speaker 1: who's out there. There are guys out there, the guys 636 00:32:26,840 --> 00:32:29,360 Speaker 1: we've talked about all offseason, they're all gone now. So 637 00:32:30,200 --> 00:32:33,360 Speaker 1: um the guys that were available, yeah, Boston and Vicaro. 638 00:32:34,200 --> 00:32:39,120 Speaker 1: So I mean, hey, just go for it. Be a 639 00:32:39,120 --> 00:32:41,080 Speaker 1: fun day. It'll happen on the off day. Don't worry. 640 00:32:41,080 --> 00:32:43,920 Speaker 1: It's gonna happen. I really do think it's going to happen. 641 00:32:43,960 --> 00:32:45,920 Speaker 1: I know you do still feel that way. But just 642 00:32:45,960 --> 00:32:48,520 Speaker 1: but we let's just move on. But are you no, 643 00:32:48,680 --> 00:32:50,960 Speaker 1: hold on just a second before we move on, because 644 00:32:51,200 --> 00:32:53,720 Speaker 1: because if we talk about in every show, because more 645 00:32:53,760 --> 00:32:56,040 Speaker 1: things happen, you have more conversations with people, You get 646 00:32:56,040 --> 00:32:59,400 Speaker 1: more information. I kind of have an idea exactly where 647 00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:01,720 Speaker 1: the Cowboys are on this thing and where Seattle is. 648 00:33:01,800 --> 00:33:05,360 Speaker 1: I I feel like it's right there. If there was 649 00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:07,640 Speaker 1: such a thing as a two and a half draft pick, 650 00:33:08,040 --> 00:33:10,600 Speaker 1: this would be perfect. I think people, I think I 651 00:33:10,720 --> 00:33:14,800 Speaker 1: don't want to know where We all say, okay, that's 652 00:33:14,880 --> 00:33:18,360 Speaker 1: I mean, not a half. What has really changed aside 653 00:33:18,400 --> 00:33:22,080 Speaker 1: from a body I don't know how then cave on 654 00:33:22,120 --> 00:33:25,080 Speaker 1: suffering with another eight eight grand that Earl Thomas is 655 00:33:25,120 --> 00:33:27,320 Speaker 1: paying every day, doesn't show up. That's what's changed he 656 00:33:27,360 --> 00:33:32,400 Speaker 1: doesn't or whatever it is, I don't know. I let's 657 00:33:32,880 --> 00:33:36,440 Speaker 1: let's hit on Jamil Showers real quick. He is a 658 00:33:36,480 --> 00:33:40,400 Speaker 1: guy that fans like. Sorry why because do they like him? 659 00:33:40,840 --> 00:33:43,320 Speaker 1: Jamil Nick is just burning it down right now and 660 00:33:43,480 --> 00:33:48,240 Speaker 1: like a guy that the Cowboys have a struggle to 661 00:33:48,360 --> 00:33:50,800 Speaker 1: find a spot for him, but clearly they lie him 662 00:33:50,920 --> 00:33:53,800 Speaker 1: enough to do that trouble go through the trouble of 663 00:33:54,080 --> 00:33:59,320 Speaker 1: putting him different spots as far as safety goes. I mean, here, here, 664 00:33:59,400 --> 00:34:02,479 Speaker 1: here's he'd been looking. I'm gonna I'm gonna use this 665 00:34:02,520 --> 00:34:05,680 Speaker 1: as another opportunity to talk about the right kind of guy. 666 00:34:06,400 --> 00:34:08,440 Speaker 1: We do that a lot. It's a pet peeve of 667 00:34:08,480 --> 00:34:10,560 Speaker 1: mine that fans throw that back at the team every 668 00:34:10,560 --> 00:34:14,080 Speaker 1: time something happens. Jamille Showers is the right kind of 669 00:34:14,120 --> 00:34:18,680 Speaker 1: guy in every single aspect of what you could be 670 00:34:18,719 --> 00:34:21,080 Speaker 1: for a team like I mean, he's moved positions, he's 671 00:34:21,160 --> 00:34:23,720 Speaker 1: he's given safety a shot. He's great on practice squad. 672 00:34:24,040 --> 00:34:26,080 Speaker 1: He can be quarterback and play safety. He can do 673 00:34:26,120 --> 00:34:28,080 Speaker 1: all these different things. He's one of the nicest guys 674 00:34:28,080 --> 00:34:31,279 Speaker 1: on this whole team. Uh. He's just a high character dude. 675 00:34:31,280 --> 00:34:35,319 Speaker 1: He's exactly what Jason Garrett's looking for accept Line one 676 00:34:35,440 --> 00:34:41,160 Speaker 1: is that he's not He's not. He's not he's he's 677 00:34:41,200 --> 00:34:44,600 Speaker 1: not there and and unfortunately it really sucks because he's 678 00:34:44,600 --> 00:34:48,520 Speaker 1: out of practice squad eligibility. I can't I can't imagine 679 00:34:48,520 --> 00:34:50,640 Speaker 1: a world where he makes the fifty three. I wish 680 00:34:50,719 --> 00:34:53,279 Speaker 1: he could, because you know, good things should happen to 681 00:34:53,280 --> 00:34:55,800 Speaker 1: good people, but I don't see it happening. Let me 682 00:34:55,840 --> 00:34:58,279 Speaker 1: ask you this two three years ago. Was he better 683 00:34:58,320 --> 00:35:01,080 Speaker 1: at quarterback than like White? What we've seen out of 684 00:35:01,120 --> 00:35:02,840 Speaker 1: Mike White. He was better than Mike White. He was 685 00:35:02,880 --> 00:35:06,680 Speaker 1: better than Dak. Prescott in Oxnard in training camp was 686 00:35:06,719 --> 00:35:09,000 Speaker 1: better than he was. I will go to my grave 687 00:35:09,080 --> 00:35:11,359 Speaker 1: insisting that that's true. I will say it every time 688 00:35:11,360 --> 00:35:13,839 Speaker 1: it comes up. He was better than Dak Dak. For 689 00:35:13,880 --> 00:35:15,719 Speaker 1: all the people that are wringing their hands about what 690 00:35:15,800 --> 00:35:20,040 Speaker 1: Dak looks like right now, he looked lost in that 691 00:35:20,200 --> 00:35:23,040 Speaker 1: twenty sixteen training camp, at least for the two weeks 692 00:35:23,080 --> 00:35:26,040 Speaker 1: before they played a game. I always thought Jamil was 693 00:35:26,080 --> 00:35:29,520 Speaker 1: a better quarterback than moving him to safety whatever I mean. 694 00:35:29,560 --> 00:35:32,680 Speaker 1: I think he could have developed into one I liked. 695 00:35:32,719 --> 00:35:34,800 Speaker 1: I'd like the moxie that he had in that Rams 696 00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:36,520 Speaker 1: game that we talked about. He was having to play 697 00:35:36,600 --> 00:35:38,640 Speaker 1: behind Chaz Green for a quarter and a half, running 698 00:35:38,640 --> 00:35:41,120 Speaker 1: for his life. He made a great play. I remember 699 00:35:41,120 --> 00:35:43,800 Speaker 1: a great throw in the twenty sixteen preseason. I remember 700 00:35:44,040 --> 00:35:48,200 Speaker 1: being kind of miffed that Dak and I'm not trying 701 00:35:48,200 --> 00:35:50,960 Speaker 1: to talk trash on Dak, but Dak got the good players. 702 00:35:51,040 --> 00:35:53,000 Speaker 1: Dak got to work with the good players, and Jamille 703 00:35:53,040 --> 00:35:55,200 Speaker 1: never did. I wanted to see Jamil get a half 704 00:35:55,239 --> 00:35:57,480 Speaker 1: with the ones, just to see if he could do it. 705 00:35:57,719 --> 00:36:00,839 Speaker 1: But you know, the dirty little seek at the end. Fellas. Yes, 706 00:36:00,960 --> 00:36:02,719 Speaker 1: it's you know, you gotta earn it every day and 707 00:36:02,760 --> 00:36:05,520 Speaker 1: all that good crap. But politics come into like you're 708 00:36:05,560 --> 00:36:08,160 Speaker 1: gonna you want to put your draft pick in position 709 00:36:08,160 --> 00:36:11,200 Speaker 1: to succeed the undrafted guy. It's not as much of 710 00:36:11,200 --> 00:36:13,480 Speaker 1: a priority. That's just a fact. And it goes for 711 00:36:13,520 --> 00:36:18,000 Speaker 1: all positions, especially quarterback. Jamiel Showers is one of the 712 00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:20,719 Speaker 1: great dudes on this team, but I don't think he 713 00:36:20,800 --> 00:36:24,600 Speaker 1: will be a fifty three man roster guy. All right, well, 714 00:36:24,600 --> 00:36:27,040 Speaker 1: fair enough, that's fair. Let's go ahead and take our 715 00:36:27,200 --> 00:36:30,600 Speaker 1: final break.

Guys, save it for save it for 767 00:39:09,760 --> 00:39:15,440 Speaker 1: the ten. What are you talking about? I was prepared. 768 00:39:15,520 --> 00:39:18,279 Speaker 1: I was prepared to talk about that Top ten. We 769 00:39:18,320 --> 00:39:21,000 Speaker 1: had full people on the show. So have you done 770 00:39:21,040 --> 00:39:24,000 Speaker 1: your list yet for new Top ten new Comers? No, 771 00:39:24,080 --> 00:39:28,200 Speaker 1: because it's not out yet. Dave, give me your number 772 00:39:28,239 --> 00:39:31,120 Speaker 1: one guy. I gotta pull up my email. But it 773 00:39:31,160 --> 00:39:33,719 Speaker 1: was I remember it was Tavon Austin. Yeah, I mean, 774 00:39:34,160 --> 00:39:37,480 Speaker 1: and this was rookies. It was uh, it was it 775 00:39:37,520 --> 00:39:39,640 Speaker 1: wasn't just rookies. It was just guys that weren't on 776 00:39:39,640 --> 00:39:41,920 Speaker 1: the team last year. So Lance Lenore's not in the 777 00:39:42,040 --> 00:39:44,120 Speaker 1: in the group because he did play last year, so 778 00:39:44,200 --> 00:39:46,480 Speaker 1: he's not on the list. Um, And it was a 779 00:39:46,520 --> 00:39:49,560 Speaker 1: good mix of of of rookies and veterans. I think, honestly, 780 00:39:50,040 --> 00:39:52,200 Speaker 1: a lot of the draft picks made it, except for 781 00:39:52,520 --> 00:39:57,080 Speaker 1: Mike White. I think everybody but Mike, Well, he's on 782 00:39:57,080 --> 00:39:58,799 Speaker 1: the list. He's just far down. He's on the list, 783 00:39:58,840 --> 00:40:00,600 Speaker 1: but yeah, it's not gonna be in the top ten. 784 00:40:00,840 --> 00:40:03,360 Speaker 1: I had Tavon Austin. We already talked about how awesome 785 00:40:03,360 --> 00:40:07,240 Speaker 1: he is. Yeah, Dorance Armstrong, I had it too, because 786 00:40:07,360 --> 00:40:12,239 Speaker 1: in my experience, fourth round picks look like fourth round picks. 787 00:40:12,640 --> 00:40:15,840 Speaker 1: Charles Tapper didn't light anybody's world on fire as a rookie. 788 00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:18,400 Speaker 1: Dalton Schultz is going through some rookie growing pains that 789 00:40:18,640 --> 00:40:21,640 Speaker 1: didn't look good that good before the first game. Durrance 790 00:40:21,719 --> 00:40:25,960 Speaker 1: Armstrong looks really good, looks awesome. Like they got him. 791 00:40:25,960 --> 00:40:28,040 Speaker 1: He gets reps with the first team. He plays left 792 00:40:28,080 --> 00:40:30,440 Speaker 1: and right end. He was bad ass in the San 793 00:40:30,480 --> 00:40:34,520 Speaker 1: Francisco game. He's strong, He's got a strong like yeah, 794 00:40:34,560 --> 00:40:36,560 Speaker 1: I mean like he knocked those guys down. To the 795 00:40:36,600 --> 00:40:40,120 Speaker 1: ground with one hand, you know, like he's got some 796 00:40:40,120 --> 00:40:43,720 Speaker 1: some which, again for a rookie out of Kansas, Yeah, 797 00:40:43,760 --> 00:40:46,120 Speaker 1: I think let's let's give and And I've heard I 798 00:40:46,120 --> 00:40:47,840 Speaker 1: don't know if this is true, but I've heard people 799 00:40:47,880 --> 00:40:49,879 Speaker 1: suggest that he would have been a much higher pick 800 00:40:49,920 --> 00:40:52,160 Speaker 1: if he wasn't coming from the worst program in major 801 00:40:52,160 --> 00:40:55,920 Speaker 1: college football. Do with that what you will, um, the 802 00:40:56,160 --> 00:40:58,440 Speaker 1: I mean Carson Wins, I mean, yeah, I mean was 803 00:40:58,440 --> 00:41:02,120 Speaker 1: a one, But I don't when you watch a team 804 00:41:02,160 --> 00:41:04,560 Speaker 1: go one in eleven for four years. I don't know. 805 00:41:04,920 --> 00:41:09,040 Speaker 1: But the thing for me is I want to reset 806 00:41:09,080 --> 00:41:11,880 Speaker 1: what that means the expectations. Like he looks like a badass. 807 00:41:11,920 --> 00:41:13,760 Speaker 1: That doesn't mean I think he's gonna have ten sacks 808 00:41:13,760 --> 00:41:16,040 Speaker 1: as a rookie. I mean, DeMarcus Ware didn't even do that. 809 00:41:16,120 --> 00:41:20,239 Speaker 1: I don't think no. Um, But when I when I 810 00:41:20,280 --> 00:41:22,680 Speaker 1: thought of him, that's usually a position that I mean, 811 00:41:22,880 --> 00:41:25,120 Speaker 1: you see some guys come in and he takes them 812 00:41:25,560 --> 00:41:29,960 Speaker 1: insanely hard position to transition to, which when Dorin's Armstrong 813 00:41:30,000 --> 00:41:32,080 Speaker 1: got drafted, I was like, Okay, they're obviously going to 814 00:41:32,160 --> 00:41:34,279 Speaker 1: carry him on the team. He's a draft pick, but 815 00:41:34,400 --> 00:41:36,200 Speaker 1: he's not gonna be able to do that much. He 816 00:41:36,280 --> 00:41:38,680 Speaker 1: might not be active for every game. That's out the 817 00:41:38,680 --> 00:41:40,960 Speaker 1: window for me. If he's healthy, he looks like a 818 00:41:41,000 --> 00:41:44,480 Speaker 1: guy who can play twenty thirty percent of the snaps 819 00:41:44,560 --> 00:41:47,600 Speaker 1: and have a role play on both sides, and he's 820 00:41:47,640 --> 00:41:50,879 Speaker 1: got super high upside. Like again, not talking Pro Bowl, 821 00:41:50,920 --> 00:41:53,279 Speaker 1: but he can be a meaningful contributor to this pass 822 00:41:53,360 --> 00:41:55,480 Speaker 1: rush right away as sure as heck looks like that? 823 00:41:55,640 --> 00:42:03,399 Speaker 1: Or is your Hall of Fame move? No ring of um. Yeah, 824 00:42:03,440 --> 00:42:06,839 Speaker 1: you're gonna keep going bow where those bow ranks? I 825 00:42:06,880 --> 00:42:09,560 Speaker 1: had Bow at nine just and that's it's not anything 826 00:42:09,600 --> 00:42:12,040 Speaker 1: that he's done wrong, but he's the third running back. 827 00:42:12,080 --> 00:42:14,600 Speaker 1: Like he in practice, he doesn't get to show that 828 00:42:14,680 --> 00:42:16,719 Speaker 1: much like he might. He might get three or four 829 00:42:16,760 --> 00:42:19,200 Speaker 1: reps per day. He's had a couple of nice runs. 830 00:42:19,200 --> 00:42:21,400 Speaker 1: Obviously he played well in the game. I had Cam 831 00:42:21,440 --> 00:42:24,680 Speaker 1: Fleming at four. I think it's very smart what they're 832 00:42:24,719 --> 00:42:26,560 Speaker 1: doing with him, letting him mix in with the first 833 00:42:26,560 --> 00:42:29,280 Speaker 1: team and get reps at left tackle next to those guys. 834 00:42:29,680 --> 00:42:32,959 Speaker 1: Connor Williams at five super impressive so far through camp, 835 00:42:33,080 --> 00:42:37,719 Speaker 1: had some hiccups. Who doesn't Joe Thomas, Alan Hearns Antoine 836 00:42:37,719 --> 00:42:40,319 Speaker 1: Woods at eight coming at a note, coming off the 837 00:42:40,360 --> 00:42:45,080 Speaker 1: bench the second. Yeah, just it's because it's hard to 838 00:42:45,080 --> 00:42:48,080 Speaker 1: notice defensive tackles, to be honest, like, let's be very 839 00:42:48,360 --> 00:42:51,200 Speaker 1: should tell you a lot more. Let's be very honest 840 00:42:51,200 --> 00:42:53,040 Speaker 1: for a second. How much would we be talking about 841 00:42:53,080 --> 00:42:57,240 Speaker 1: Antoine Woods if not for the Travis Frederick for the incident. 842 00:42:57,280 --> 00:42:59,080 Speaker 1: And I'm not saying he hasn't done anything else, but 843 00:42:59,280 --> 00:43:02,000 Speaker 1: that is, if it's a flash point of camp, it 844 00:43:02,160 --> 00:43:04,440 Speaker 1: makes him much more visible. He's had some good reps, 845 00:43:04,440 --> 00:43:06,600 Speaker 1: he's working with the first team. Not trying to take 846 00:43:06,600 --> 00:43:09,240 Speaker 1: anything away from him. It's a good point about the fight, 847 00:43:09,360 --> 00:43:12,200 Speaker 1: but also it was all what led to the fight 848 00:43:12,360 --> 00:43:14,719 Speaker 1: was the fact that he kind of drove him back, 849 00:43:14,760 --> 00:43:17,080 Speaker 1: and you know, he was beating these guys. It's the 850 00:43:17,080 --> 00:43:19,760 Speaker 1: same thing with Dorn's Armstrong. You know, he's beaten some 851 00:43:19,760 --> 00:43:23,560 Speaker 1: some um, he's beaten Lyelle out here. He's done a 852 00:43:23,560 --> 00:43:26,840 Speaker 1: good job. That's why I would rate him a little higher, 853 00:43:26,960 --> 00:43:29,759 Speaker 1: just because that is a position that you tend not 854 00:43:29,880 --> 00:43:32,000 Speaker 1: to look at that much. And the fact that he 855 00:43:32,120 --> 00:43:36,160 Speaker 1: has um emerged and his name has been put out 856 00:43:36,160 --> 00:43:37,880 Speaker 1: there and people are starting to get to know him. 857 00:43:38,040 --> 00:43:40,680 Speaker 1: As you send that, I'm sure it'll you'll have Antine 858 00:43:40,680 --> 00:43:43,920 Speaker 1: Woods higher on your I think, wow, I think I 859 00:43:43,920 --> 00:43:46,120 Speaker 1: haven't done mine either. But I will say this, Joe 860 00:43:46,120 --> 00:43:48,359 Speaker 1: Thomas is going to be number one for me. That's 861 00:43:48,440 --> 00:43:51,640 Speaker 1: totally fair because because of what's happened out here of 862 00:43:52,760 --> 00:43:55,359 Speaker 1: you know, he's starting, he's playing all you know, Sean 863 00:43:55,400 --> 00:43:57,200 Speaker 1: Lee really hasn't played, and he's stepped in, and I 864 00:43:57,200 --> 00:43:59,759 Speaker 1: think the defense has looked really good weaving without Sean Lee, 865 00:43:59,760 --> 00:44:02,680 Speaker 1: which is a big thing that did not happen last year. 866 00:44:02,719 --> 00:44:05,279 Speaker 1: It was, oh my god, the weak side linebackers out 867 00:44:05,320 --> 00:44:07,560 Speaker 1: and the whole thing goes to crape. And I think 868 00:44:07,640 --> 00:44:09,239 Speaker 1: I don't think that'll happen this year. And I think 869 00:44:09,280 --> 00:44:11,480 Speaker 1: that's a big you know, a lot of that is 870 00:44:11,520 --> 00:44:13,880 Speaker 1: on his shoulders. I'm gonna put him number one on 871 00:44:13,920 --> 00:44:15,560 Speaker 1: the list. I don't have a problem with that at all. 872 00:44:15,680 --> 00:44:17,640 Speaker 1: I skipped Michael Gallup. I had him at three for 873 00:44:17,680 --> 00:44:20,319 Speaker 1: whatever was with But to you to your point, and 874 00:44:20,400 --> 00:44:23,560 Speaker 1: maybe this isn't fair, but I've just been burned. I've 875 00:44:23,600 --> 00:44:26,440 Speaker 1: been burned by the camp d tackle Darling before and 876 00:44:26,560 --> 00:44:32,520 Speaker 1: where I mean Davon Coleman, Janelle Jenkins Lewis Neil Montavius Stanley. 877 00:44:32,800 --> 00:44:34,759 Speaker 1: I think that was before my time. I just like 878 00:44:34,920 --> 00:44:37,440 Speaker 1: seeing that name. I think he's a sixth round pick, 879 00:44:37,520 --> 00:44:41,839 Speaker 1: maybe out of Louisville way back in the day. Montavius Stanley. 880 00:44:41,880 --> 00:44:44,560 Speaker 1: I had Layton Vanderash bringing it up at number ten, 881 00:44:44,680 --> 00:44:46,880 Speaker 1: which you know he's he's had some moments. He looks 882 00:44:47,239 --> 00:44:51,799 Speaker 1: yeah he didn't make that. No, he looks ready to contribute. 883 00:44:51,840 --> 00:44:55,520 Speaker 1: But um, you know again growing pains. He hasn't Allen 884 00:44:56,280 --> 00:44:59,120 Speaker 1: and I was I think we had Alan wait, no, no, no, no, 885 00:44:59,160 --> 00:45:01,120 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I had him. Um, I had him at seven. 886 00:45:01,440 --> 00:45:03,560 Speaker 1: I had Alan Herns at seven. Um. As far as 887 00:45:03,640 --> 00:45:07,239 Speaker 1: vander Esh goes, I was talking to Brian this and 888 00:45:07,320 --> 00:45:10,960 Speaker 1: just evaluating him where he's at right now. And one 889 00:45:11,040 --> 00:45:14,280 Speaker 1: of the things, I mean, Brian brought us the football analyst, 890 00:45:14,360 --> 00:45:16,560 Speaker 1: Brian brought us. What did I say? You said, Brian, 891 00:45:17,000 --> 00:45:19,480 Speaker 1: Let's make sure that we let's make sure that we 892 00:45:19,560 --> 00:45:21,440 Speaker 1: you know, with everybody watching, we make sure that we 893 00:45:21,560 --> 00:45:23,879 Speaker 1: talk about you know, in case you don't know, as 894 00:45:23,920 --> 00:45:31,480 Speaker 1: Brian b ran, Thank you so right, vander Esh. The 895 00:45:31,520 --> 00:45:34,480 Speaker 1: problem with him is it just comes down to experience, 896 00:45:34,760 --> 00:45:38,080 Speaker 1: and he's a very athletic guy, and he has all 897 00:45:38,080 --> 00:45:41,319 Speaker 1: those things that you need for a linebacker. What he's 898 00:45:41,360 --> 00:45:45,359 Speaker 1: missing is that experience and maybe those instincts as far 899 00:45:45,400 --> 00:45:47,960 Speaker 1: as you know he it took a while for Jalen 900 00:45:48,120 --> 00:45:50,920 Speaker 1: to gain that and now we're starting to see it. 901 00:45:51,800 --> 00:45:55,359 Speaker 1: Shaun Lee, he's amazing. He can even close his eyes 902 00:45:55,440 --> 00:45:58,879 Speaker 1: and know where the player is going. I mean, eventually 903 00:45:59,680 --> 00:46:02,879 Speaker 1: Vendor will hopefully get there playing next to these guys 904 00:46:02,960 --> 00:46:05,600 Speaker 1: right here to that point, you know, I this is 905 00:46:05,640 --> 00:46:07,520 Speaker 1: an argument that goes all the way back to the draft, 906 00:46:07,560 --> 00:46:09,640 Speaker 1: and I know some people are still talking about it. 907 00:46:09,719 --> 00:46:12,120 Speaker 1: Is that, well, if Jalen's taking this step, for like 908 00:46:12,280 --> 00:46:14,960 Speaker 1: Layton Vanderesh was a redundant pick, that was a bad move. 909 00:46:15,360 --> 00:46:18,359 Speaker 1: I don't buy that at all because he hasn't lit 910 00:46:18,360 --> 00:46:20,960 Speaker 1: the world on fire out here. But he absolutely doesn't 911 00:46:21,000 --> 00:46:23,319 Speaker 1: look lost or like he doesn't belong, you know what 912 00:46:23,360 --> 00:46:25,279 Speaker 1: I mean. Like he has looked solid. He looks like 913 00:46:25,320 --> 00:46:27,560 Speaker 1: he's picking it up. He's a smart guy. He's been 914 00:46:27,600 --> 00:46:31,520 Speaker 1: attached to Sean at the hip number one. I like 915 00:46:31,880 --> 00:46:34,000 Speaker 1: with the way this team fell apart without Shawn Lee 916 00:46:34,080 --> 00:46:36,279 Speaker 1: last year, I don't think there's too much you can 917 00:46:36,320 --> 00:46:38,200 Speaker 1: do to ensure that position. And on top of that, 918 00:46:38,440 --> 00:46:42,320 Speaker 1: Shaun Lee's thirty two years old, and I don't know 919 00:46:42,360 --> 00:46:44,640 Speaker 1: if it's next year or two years however many years 920 00:46:44,640 --> 00:46:47,359 Speaker 1: from now. But like Jalen Smith and Layton vander Esh 921 00:46:47,480 --> 00:46:50,400 Speaker 1: look like the future of this linebacker car And you 922 00:46:50,440 --> 00:46:53,320 Speaker 1: don't draft first round picks or really first or second 923 00:46:53,400 --> 00:46:55,719 Speaker 1: round picks just for what they're going to be able 924 00:46:55,760 --> 00:46:58,360 Speaker 1: to do this year. Yeah, I mean, yeah, you expect 925 00:46:58,400 --> 00:47:01,760 Speaker 1: them to contribute, but you know they've done it before. 926 00:47:01,760 --> 00:47:04,880 Speaker 1: They're drafting guys knowing what's probably not going to be 927 00:47:04,920 --> 00:47:07,480 Speaker 1: on the team next year or the year after. So 928 00:47:07,719 --> 00:47:10,800 Speaker 1: would I be geeked beyond belief if Derwin James is 929 00:47:10,840 --> 00:47:14,160 Speaker 1: on this team. Yeah? But I don't think Laden Vanderman 930 00:47:14,480 --> 00:47:17,440 Speaker 1: bad parents. They wouldn't have even done it. That's the thing. 931 00:47:17,480 --> 00:47:21,120 Speaker 1: They loved Layden vander ash that much. So let's take 932 00:47:21,480 --> 00:47:26,760 Speaker 1: a call from Anthony in Miami. Hey, how y'all doing great? 933 00:47:26,760 --> 00:47:29,960 Speaker 1: How are you good? I'm pretty good. I'm pretty good. Um. 934 00:47:29,960 --> 00:47:31,839 Speaker 1: I know I called him hanging with the boys more 935 00:47:31,880 --> 00:47:34,640 Speaker 1: often sending them making them But and of course you 936 00:47:34,719 --> 00:47:38,640 Speaker 1: on that before, Nick, Um, I love your show A 937 00:47:38,800 --> 00:47:40,960 Speaker 1: listening all the time. Just don't get a chance to 938 00:47:40,960 --> 00:47:46,000 Speaker 1: call because of the hours. Doc God hard, I will. 939 00:47:46,200 --> 00:47:49,319 Speaker 1: I will stand up with this guy regardless and maybe 940 00:47:49,400 --> 00:47:51,759 Speaker 1: to a fault. What I see when I see that 941 00:47:52,920 --> 00:47:57,759 Speaker 1: I seem a leader to be that young. I see 942 00:47:57,800 --> 00:48:00,680 Speaker 1: a guy, especially with example things, that took that on 943 00:48:00,719 --> 00:48:04,400 Speaker 1: his shoulders and said that I'm gonna have my voice 944 00:48:04,520 --> 00:48:08,320 Speaker 1: and be a leader. He may have accuracy problems at times, 945 00:48:08,360 --> 00:48:11,800 Speaker 1: but you can't win twenty two out of third three games, 946 00:48:12,320 --> 00:48:15,919 Speaker 1: one being the playoff game and not be what people 947 00:48:15,960 --> 00:48:18,480 Speaker 1: are considering or trying to say that maybe this is 948 00:48:18,520 --> 00:48:19,879 Speaker 1: a make or break year this and that I don't 949 00:48:19,880 --> 00:48:22,440 Speaker 1: believe it at all. I believe we lose that Prescott. 950 00:48:22,760 --> 00:48:24,920 Speaker 1: It's gonna be hard to find a quarterback, and I 951 00:48:24,960 --> 00:48:27,239 Speaker 1: believe he's the right quarterback for this team. He's got 952 00:48:27,320 --> 00:48:29,560 Speaker 1: some outstanding stats. At the same time, he's got two 953 00:48:29,640 --> 00:48:32,880 Speaker 1: NFL records already. I know he has Zeke in the backfield. 954 00:48:33,120 --> 00:48:35,120 Speaker 1: But if we put a good defense with this guy, 955 00:48:35,200 --> 00:48:37,719 Speaker 1: just me saying that we put a good defense with 956 00:48:37,800 --> 00:48:40,439 Speaker 1: this guy. This guy's a natural warn leader. He's gonna 957 00:48:40,440 --> 00:48:42,279 Speaker 1: take us to a chap ship in about three years. 958 00:48:42,280 --> 00:48:46,680 Speaker 1: I guarantee it that's all safe, all right. I think 959 00:48:46,800 --> 00:48:51,320 Speaker 1: Dad has a great advantage plane behind that offensive line 960 00:48:51,360 --> 00:48:54,160 Speaker 1: that he allows him even in the future, let's say 961 00:48:54,200 --> 00:48:57,680 Speaker 1: the line you start getting some trouble there on the 962 00:48:57,760 --> 00:49:01,560 Speaker 1: old line, it allows him to gain old those games, 963 00:49:01,640 --> 00:49:04,560 Speaker 1: you know, an experience. I would say you have more 964 00:49:04,640 --> 00:49:08,320 Speaker 1: experience playing it more safely in a way. Although he 965 00:49:08,440 --> 00:49:11,920 Speaker 1: struggled last year because of what happened with Tyrant's injury, 966 00:49:12,280 --> 00:49:14,359 Speaker 1: but the fact that he's playing behind that old line 967 00:49:14,480 --> 00:49:18,440 Speaker 1: really really helps him in his growth as a quarterback. 968 00:49:18,560 --> 00:49:21,840 Speaker 1: I agree with you, and I think I mean I 969 00:49:22,000 --> 00:49:25,440 Speaker 1: if I think you're what you're saying is is right 970 00:49:25,480 --> 00:49:28,600 Speaker 1: now he can lean on them as he's still maturing 971 00:49:28,640 --> 00:49:30,839 Speaker 1: as a quarterback, and when the time comes where they're 972 00:49:30,840 --> 00:49:32,920 Speaker 1: gonna have to lean on him, he was able to 973 00:49:32,960 --> 00:49:35,960 Speaker 1: do that in his early years. And that's been my 974 00:49:36,000 --> 00:49:38,520 Speaker 1: biggest beef. I don't disagree with that call. Really, that's 975 00:49:38,560 --> 00:49:40,600 Speaker 1: my biggest beef with this whole thing. Has always been 976 00:49:40,760 --> 00:49:44,279 Speaker 1: like he's nothing without his line and his running back. No, duh, 977 00:49:44,280 --> 00:49:47,160 Speaker 1: who cares he's twenty four years old. If if he 978 00:49:47,280 --> 00:49:49,799 Speaker 1: still needs that strong of a supporting cast when he's 979 00:49:49,840 --> 00:49:52,240 Speaker 1: thirty one and making one hundred and twenty million dollars, 980 00:49:52,560 --> 00:49:55,520 Speaker 1: then you have a problem. I expect a third year 981 00:49:55,600 --> 00:49:58,480 Speaker 1: quarterback drafted in the fourth round to need some help. 982 00:49:58,520 --> 00:50:00,640 Speaker 1: There's nothing wrong with that. The only issue I have 983 00:50:00,680 --> 00:50:04,880 Speaker 1: with that call is, if we're speaking strictly by definition, 984 00:50:04,960 --> 00:50:06,480 Speaker 1: I think it is a make or break year for 985 00:50:06,600 --> 00:50:09,680 Speaker 1: Dak because if he is bad, if he is just bad, 986 00:50:10,600 --> 00:50:12,640 Speaker 1: then that you're putting yourself. You got to have a 987 00:50:12,640 --> 00:50:15,439 Speaker 1: conversation about what the future is going forward, and maybe 988 00:50:15,520 --> 00:50:18,160 Speaker 1: you draft a quarterback, maybe you decide Dak as the 989 00:50:18,200 --> 00:50:21,359 Speaker 1: guy anyway, but those questions will be asked and they 990 00:50:21,360 --> 00:50:23,800 Speaker 1: will be fair. If he's not good this year, that 991 00:50:23,800 --> 00:50:27,520 Speaker 1: that's just true. Having said that, I'm not worried about 992 00:50:27,560 --> 00:50:29,440 Speaker 1: him at all. I think he's gonna be great. I really, 993 00:50:29,680 --> 00:50:31,600 Speaker 1: I don't think that's going to be an issue. Yeah, 994 00:50:31,640 --> 00:50:35,080 Speaker 1: And it'll be a tough evaluation if they do bad. 995 00:50:35,120 --> 00:50:38,040 Speaker 1: I mean, because now you're talking about coaching and you 996 00:50:38,040 --> 00:50:43,560 Speaker 1: know the player and what's the percentage there. That is 997 00:50:43,600 --> 00:50:48,320 Speaker 1: what we will talk about from January until May or April. 998 00:50:48,400 --> 00:50:51,960 Speaker 1: If this team falls short, specifically Dak, like, the debate 999 00:50:52,000 --> 00:50:54,799 Speaker 1: will be, you know, are you going forward with Dak, 1000 00:50:55,320 --> 00:50:57,040 Speaker 1: is he the right guy? Or are you looking at 1001 00:50:57,120 --> 00:50:59,440 Speaker 1: quarterback in the early going to this draft. And that's 1002 00:50:59,480 --> 00:51:01,759 Speaker 1: what we'll ask Jerry about at the combine. That's what 1003 00:51:02,000 --> 00:51:03,640 Speaker 1: you know when we go to the owners meetings, when 1004 00:51:03,680 --> 00:51:06,719 Speaker 1: we're having private conversations with people behind closed doors, that's 1005 00:51:06,719 --> 00:51:09,680 Speaker 1: what people will be trying to figure out that it's unavoidable. 1006 00:51:09,760 --> 00:51:12,120 Speaker 1: But I don't think it's gonna happen because I think 1007 00:51:12,160 --> 00:51:14,160 Speaker 1: Dak's gonna play well. You know, to talk about him 1008 00:51:14,160 --> 00:51:17,440 Speaker 1: being a natural born leader, and you know, this is 1009 00:51:17,520 --> 00:51:20,719 Speaker 1: definitely his team, his offense. And we've said so many 1010 00:51:20,800 --> 00:51:23,240 Speaker 1: times about now that Dez isn't here, it will allow 1011 00:51:23,320 --> 00:51:25,120 Speaker 1: him to be more of a leader. Let's not forget 1012 00:51:25,160 --> 00:51:27,560 Speaker 1: that with Jason Witten not here, it'll allow him to 1013 00:51:27,560 --> 00:51:29,200 Speaker 1: be more of a leader too. You can't tell me 1014 00:51:29,239 --> 00:51:32,640 Speaker 1: that Dak Prescott and Jason Witten are you know, saw 1015 00:51:32,880 --> 00:51:35,560 Speaker 1: eye to eye every single time. They probably didn't. The 1016 00:51:35,560 --> 00:51:37,719 Speaker 1: way Witten leads is not the way Dak leads. And 1017 00:51:37,760 --> 00:51:40,400 Speaker 1: it is tough for Dak to try to do things. 1018 00:51:40,560 --> 00:51:43,279 Speaker 1: I mean, Jason Witten has penalties all the time. It's 1019 00:51:43,320 --> 00:51:45,880 Speaker 1: hard to jump on him as well. Now he does 1020 00:51:45,920 --> 00:51:49,400 Speaker 1: things the right way, but still not having Jason Witten 1021 00:51:49,520 --> 00:51:53,160 Speaker 1: here will open the door even more for Dak. I'm 1022 00:51:53,200 --> 00:51:55,719 Speaker 1: not saying it's a good thing. I'm just saying that 1023 00:51:56,680 --> 00:52:00,560 Speaker 1: players like that still affect the quarterback from the leader. 1024 00:52:00,600 --> 00:52:03,359 Speaker 1: Now there's no guarantee who the guy is. It's it's Dak. 1025 00:52:03,360 --> 00:52:06,000 Speaker 1: The lineman aren't going to be the leaders. It's Dak 1026 00:52:06,000 --> 00:52:09,080 Speaker 1: Prescott one thousand percent. And this will really get a 1027 00:52:09,160 --> 00:52:11,680 Speaker 1: chance to see this natural board leader. We'll get to 1028 00:52:11,719 --> 00:52:14,520 Speaker 1: see it, you know, to a t this year because 1029 00:52:15,360 --> 00:52:18,319 Speaker 1: he'll have the voice of everybody. Yep, yeah, okay here, 1030 00:52:18,440 --> 00:52:20,759 Speaker 1: he'll have the ears of everyone, might have the voice. 1031 00:52:20,800 --> 00:52:22,560 Speaker 1: He might have the voice too. I don't know everything 1032 00:52:22,600 --> 00:52:25,799 Speaker 1: he does. Some wicked impressions from what I hear. We 1033 00:52:25,880 --> 00:52:29,960 Speaker 1: have a question from Alex Macho through Twitter, and we 1034 00:52:30,080 --> 00:52:33,440 Speaker 1: talked about Jalen and Rico Gathers. So here's this question. 1035 00:52:33,520 --> 00:52:36,200 Speaker 1: Why would benefit the Cowboys the most for Week one? 1036 00:52:36,480 --> 00:52:40,120 Speaker 1: Jalen Smith slashed Joe Thomas playing at a high level, 1037 00:52:40,600 --> 00:52:43,319 Speaker 1: or Rico Gathers putting it all together and being the 1038 00:52:43,360 --> 00:52:49,040 Speaker 1: team's go to tight end. I go to tight end. 1039 00:52:49,200 --> 00:52:51,440 Speaker 1: I'm not trying to crap on Rico But like I 1040 00:52:51,480 --> 00:52:53,399 Speaker 1: said earlier in the show, I just I can't see 1041 00:52:53,440 --> 00:52:56,080 Speaker 1: that happening. I can see Joe Thomas and Jalen Smith 1042 00:52:56,120 --> 00:52:58,480 Speaker 1: playing at a high, high level that we saw it 1043 00:52:58,560 --> 00:53:01,640 Speaker 1: the other night. I can't that's a reality. But in 1044 00:53:01,719 --> 00:53:06,600 Speaker 1: a fantasy, in a fantasy world where Rico Gathers plays 1045 00:53:06,640 --> 00:53:12,000 Speaker 1: like Gronk, Hell yeah give me that. Yeah, give me 1046 00:53:12,080 --> 00:53:14,399 Speaker 1: that ten times out of ten, I just don't see 1047 00:53:14,400 --> 00:53:17,319 Speaker 1: it happening. You know, we never say this the other 1048 00:53:17,360 --> 00:53:20,480 Speaker 1: way because it's kind of insulting, but it's never stopped 1049 00:53:20,520 --> 00:53:23,640 Speaker 1: us before. What did I say about Ezekiel Elliott? What 1050 00:53:23,680 --> 00:53:26,480 Speaker 1: was my Jason Garrett line for him? He's just a 1051 00:53:26,520 --> 00:53:29,200 Speaker 1: really damn good football player. The thing about Rico Gathers 1052 00:53:29,280 --> 00:53:32,320 Speaker 1: is he's just not He's just not a football player 1053 00:53:32,440 --> 00:53:35,360 Speaker 1: right now. He's just a raw talent that's working into 1054 00:53:35,440 --> 00:53:37,759 Speaker 1: being a football player. So we say it about he's 1055 00:53:37,800 --> 00:53:40,120 Speaker 1: just this guy's just a good football player. He just 1056 00:53:40,160 --> 00:53:42,720 Speaker 1: knows how to play the game. Well, Rico right now doesn't. 1057 00:53:42,840 --> 00:53:46,000 Speaker 1: He's just a really great athlete that's trying to learn 1058 00:53:46,040 --> 00:53:48,359 Speaker 1: how to play football. It's really hard to think by 1059 00:53:48,400 --> 00:53:51,160 Speaker 1: Week one in Carolina that all of a sudden, he's 1060 00:53:51,239 --> 00:53:54,160 Speaker 1: just put it all in together and now he's Antonio Gates. 1061 00:53:54,239 --> 00:53:57,359 Speaker 1: I mean, who, by the way, I did I don't 1062 00:53:57,400 --> 00:53:59,000 Speaker 1: know why I even said that. Who, by the way 1063 00:53:59,120 --> 00:54:04,680 Speaker 1: was that basketball player? And oh well, and he seriously, 1064 00:54:04,920 --> 00:54:07,240 Speaker 1: but he played football in high school. He played football, 1065 00:54:07,280 --> 00:54:11,919 Speaker 1: I think in college. I don't know, I played basketball college. 1066 00:54:11,960 --> 00:54:14,600 Speaker 1: But still, it's just hard to think it's all gonna 1067 00:54:14,640 --> 00:54:17,600 Speaker 1: happen like that. And the Cowboys they're not going to 1068 00:54:17,880 --> 00:54:20,440 Speaker 1: allow him to be that guy. I don't know what 1069 00:54:20,560 --> 00:54:22,040 Speaker 1: the role is going to be, but he's not gonna 1070 00:54:22,040 --> 00:54:23,799 Speaker 1: be the starting tight end of this football team. If 1071 00:54:23,800 --> 00:54:26,560 Speaker 1: you're a Rico fan, and I know there's a lot 1072 00:54:26,600 --> 00:54:29,160 Speaker 1: of you, yeah, I'm not trying to suggest that I'm not. 1073 00:54:29,600 --> 00:54:32,520 Speaker 1: But if you're a Rico fan and you won him 1074 00:54:32,520 --> 00:54:35,560 Speaker 1: on the team, the best bet is again for the 1075 00:54:35,920 --> 00:54:38,600 Speaker 1: coaching staff in the front office to decide that what 1076 00:54:38,640 --> 00:54:40,680 Speaker 1: he can do is valuable enough to keep him on 1077 00:54:40,719 --> 00:54:44,400 Speaker 1: the roster, find him a special team's role that justifies 1078 00:54:44,440 --> 00:54:46,879 Speaker 1: him getting a jersey, and then he's like a red 1079 00:54:46,960 --> 00:54:49,560 Speaker 1: zone goal line guy who can come in. He's like, 1080 00:54:50,080 --> 00:54:52,239 Speaker 1: for lack of a better comparison, he could be like 1081 00:54:52,280 --> 00:54:54,759 Speaker 1: you're Mike Vrabel, like when you're down, you're like, hey, 1082 00:54:54,800 --> 00:54:57,120 Speaker 1: we need we need a touchdown. Put this big six 1083 00:54:57,200 --> 00:55:00,399 Speaker 1: seven monster on the field, which I think that would 1084 00:55:00,400 --> 00:55:03,920 Speaker 1: be smart to three tight ends down there comes completely 1085 00:55:03,960 --> 00:55:07,879 Speaker 1: okay with him having a niche role on this team 1086 00:55:07,920 --> 00:55:10,839 Speaker 1: that involves catching balls in the red zone. You just 1087 00:55:10,880 --> 00:55:13,200 Speaker 1: gotta let me figure out the rest of it to 1088 00:55:13,239 --> 00:55:15,200 Speaker 1: make it make sense. Numbers one, let me ask both 1089 00:55:15,200 --> 00:55:18,719 Speaker 1: of all this question. Will Rico Gathers be on a 1090 00:55:19,320 --> 00:55:24,200 Speaker 1: fifty three man roster this year? Yes, he will. Yeah, 1091 00:55:24,200 --> 00:55:26,640 Speaker 1: he will be on a fifty three. So if he's 1092 00:55:26,640 --> 00:55:30,120 Speaker 1: not on this team, somebody, Yeah, the team was gonna 1093 00:55:30,160 --> 00:55:33,840 Speaker 1: come in, Oh, I can make this guy turn into 1094 00:55:33,840 --> 00:55:36,279 Speaker 1: this amazing tight end, and they're gonna take him and 1095 00:55:36,320 --> 00:55:38,480 Speaker 1: they probably won't use the voice. They'll probably be like, 1096 00:55:39,040 --> 00:55:41,800 Speaker 1: they'll probably you know, just do their own. Yeah. We 1097 00:55:42,920 --> 00:55:45,320 Speaker 1: have confidence in our staff and our coaching staff that 1098 00:55:45,360 --> 00:55:47,480 Speaker 1: we'll be able to develop him. And the Cowboys have 1099 00:55:47,520 --> 00:55:49,040 Speaker 1: done a pretty good job, but we think we can 1100 00:55:49,120 --> 00:55:51,239 Speaker 1: enhance that and he's gonna fit in right well, you know, 1101 00:55:51,239 --> 00:55:53,200 Speaker 1: well on our football team. Got it. As we play 1102 00:55:53,280 --> 00:55:57,480 Speaker 1: the Cowboys this week, I'm I'm so torn on that 1103 00:55:57,640 --> 00:56:01,359 Speaker 1: because there's a lot of sence that suggests that he's 1104 00:56:01,400 --> 00:56:03,959 Speaker 1: not going to be on this roster. But there's just 1105 00:56:04,200 --> 00:56:07,400 Speaker 1: enough potential there and what you're talking about. Don't for 1106 00:56:07,440 --> 00:56:09,440 Speaker 1: a second think that they don't think about that when 1107 00:56:09,440 --> 00:56:14,080 Speaker 1: they want to. Yeah, I don't know. I don't know 1108 00:56:14,160 --> 00:56:16,120 Speaker 1: what to expect. I could see it going either way. 1109 00:56:16,200 --> 00:56:19,080 Speaker 1: That's the biggest fear that a lot of teams have, 1110 00:56:19,360 --> 00:56:22,319 Speaker 1: you know, when they've developed these guys and and all 1111 00:56:22,360 --> 00:56:23,839 Speaker 1: of a sudden that they're gonna have to let him 1112 00:56:23,840 --> 00:56:25,839 Speaker 1: go and spending three years teaching him how to play 1113 00:56:25,880 --> 00:56:28,279 Speaker 1: the position, and then he catches six touchdowns for the 1114 00:56:28,360 --> 00:56:31,080 Speaker 1: Jets or whoever, I'm teaching him how to beat you. 1115 00:56:31,160 --> 00:56:35,840 Speaker 1: Because then when you yeah, thank you your faith. Do 1116 00:56:36,000 --> 00:56:38,640 Speaker 1: I hear the music? It's time to go. We are 1117 00:56:38,760 --> 00:56:43,040 Speaker 1: done for today.
