I'll get started with 16 00:00:56,200 --> 00:00:59,240 Speaker 3: that in just a second because it hits with what 17 00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:02,360 Speaker 3: we talk about when we start off Cowboys Storyline. It 18 00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:06,399 Speaker 3: is the storylines? What are the storylines? What is happening? 19 00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:11,480 Speaker 3: And there was some few things happening here today at practice, 20 00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:15,080 Speaker 3: some injuries, injuries starting to pile up a little bit, 21 00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:18,920 Speaker 3: hopefully nothing severe as it stands right now as we 22 00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:25,120 Speaker 3: do this, Mazzie Smith had an MRI sounds like on 23 00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:28,680 Speaker 3: his knee. Did not practice today. Cowboys wanted to check 24 00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:34,360 Speaker 3: that out. Hopefully they get good news there. Tyler Battish Center. 25 00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:36,800 Speaker 3: He rolled his ankle in the middle of practice. He 26 00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:40,840 Speaker 3: walked off, walked into the medical tent, came back, did 27 00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:44,119 Speaker 3: a few things, but not not a lot. They they 28 00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:45,920 Speaker 3: I think they held him out for the last part 29 00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:46,720 Speaker 3: of practice. 30 00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:47,720 Speaker 1: I was. 31 00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:50,080 Speaker 3: I saw him actually walking around a little bit. I 32 00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:54,320 Speaker 3: think I think he's okay. Doctor Nick here don't know. 33 00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:58,280 Speaker 3: I hate to assume, but it seemed like he was 34 00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:02,160 Speaker 3: probably all right. Thomas left practice and went to the 35 00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:07,320 Speaker 3: came back, returned. David Durdin, this guy's making some plays now. 36 00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:12,560 Speaker 3: He's a rookie free agent from West Florida. He had 37 00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:15,360 Speaker 3: he's a former baseball player. I think he's twenty five 38 00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:18,280 Speaker 3: years old, twenty four years old, rookie, but he's played 39 00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:21,480 Speaker 3: in the Red Sox minor league system for a couple 40 00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:24,600 Speaker 3: of years, I believe, and he he had a phenomenal 41 00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:28,919 Speaker 3: catch that he got banged up on. They checked him out, 42 00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:32,799 Speaker 3: he didn't return to practice. Not gonna say it's concussion 43 00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:35,400 Speaker 3: like symptoms. Don't want to jump the gun on that, 44 00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:37,720 Speaker 3: but you know, he was banged up pretty good. But 45 00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:39,720 Speaker 3: it was a heck of a catch and it had 46 00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:42,960 Speaker 3: a lot of his teammates running and jumping, and it 47 00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:45,600 Speaker 3: was like an and one mixtape wheel when someone dunks 48 00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:47,440 Speaker 3: and the whole crowd goes dut. So that's what that 49 00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:49,400 Speaker 3: was like there. David Durton, he has a couple of 50 00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:53,320 Speaker 3: other diving catches. He's got really really good hands. So 51 00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:57,320 Speaker 3: some injuries, uh here for the for the Cowboys, we'll 52 00:02:57,320 --> 00:02:59,880 Speaker 3: see if if there was the one to watch is 53 00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:02,080 Speaker 3: certainly Mazzie Smith. That's the one who've got to keep 54 00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:05,880 Speaker 3: an eye on there. Tony Pollard is expected back Tuesday. 55 00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:11,400 Speaker 3: This is today, expected back in Auxnard four tomorrow's walk 56 00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:14,359 Speaker 3: through practice. Whatever he's had, he's left the last couple 57 00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:16,560 Speaker 3: of days, had some personal issues to take care of 58 00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:20,600 Speaker 3: personal matter. He should be back at. What this is 59 00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:23,600 Speaker 3: doing is just opened up the game. They opened up 60 00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:28,520 Speaker 3: the backup runners, Malik Davis, Rico, Davil, Deuce Vaughan. 61 00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:30,080 Speaker 1: They're getting a lot of carries here. 62 00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:33,040 Speaker 3: Hunter Lefke's getting some carries because Pollard has been out 63 00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:35,600 Speaker 3: and Ronald Jones suffered a growing injury, so he's been out. 64 00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:39,560 Speaker 3: So that's kind of where we stand there. And if 65 00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:44,200 Speaker 3: you're just keeping score at home, maybe Zach Martin is 66 00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:47,280 Speaker 3: actually keeping score because he is home in his score. 67 00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:50,640 Speaker 3: Right now, it looks like seven hundred and fifty thousand 68 00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:55,080 Speaker 3: dollars in fines. Not good at math, but we counted 69 00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:58,080 Speaker 3: fifteen days now that he is not reported to camp 70 00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:02,040 Speaker 3: times fifty grand, seven hundred and fifty thousand, three quarters 71 00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:06,640 Speaker 3: of a million dollars. I hope he's making this point. 72 00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:09,160 Speaker 3: I don't know. I don't know what's happening there. I 73 00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:11,520 Speaker 3: love Zach Martin, I really do. I do not understand 74 00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:17,480 Speaker 3: that that's tough, but hopefully it's gonna end well for him. 75 00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:22,080 Speaker 3: It's hard when you're seven fifty down, seven fifty k down. 76 00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:27,560 Speaker 3: So what's happening. Josh Ball's playing a lot at right guard, 77 00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:30,960 Speaker 3: and one of the things that Mike McCarthy said this 78 00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:33,360 Speaker 3: press conference today was that he has made the transition. 79 00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:37,560 Speaker 3: He basically called Josh ballaguard. He said he bends very, 80 00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:40,440 Speaker 3: very very well for a guy that's six's eight. That's 81 00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:42,760 Speaker 3: always been my thing about him playing guard is can 82 00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:45,719 Speaker 3: he get low enough? Can he have leverage? And so 83 00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:47,680 Speaker 3: far he's done a pretty good job with that. And 84 00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:49,120 Speaker 3: you know, when you go up against Massie, you go 85 00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:51,360 Speaker 3: up against Hankets, you go up against Oh so you're 86 00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:53,279 Speaker 3: going up agains some pretty good d tackles. You're gonna 87 00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:55,880 Speaker 3: get tested fairly well there. So I want to see 88 00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:59,200 Speaker 3: it in a game like everyone does. But that's one 89 00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:01,800 Speaker 3: thing to keep an eye on. Josh Baul has continued 90 00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:03,400 Speaker 3: to get a lot of work there at right Guard. 91 00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:06,040 Speaker 3: Looks like he's made that transition, but I doubt he's 92 00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:09,120 Speaker 3: gonna play. He could play well, but it's gonna have 93 00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:11,960 Speaker 3: to be really, really, really well for anyone to be 94 00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:15,680 Speaker 3: missing or not missing. Sorry, Zach Martin. All right, we're 95 00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:17,520 Speaker 3: gonna take a break.

You know, I hadn't been 171 00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:51,480 Speaker 9: you know to a few few teams and you know, 172 00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:53,960 Speaker 9: been a part of some good teams, but you know, 173 00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:57,400 Speaker 9: coming into uh, you know Dallas last year, you know, 174 00:08:57,520 --> 00:09:01,040 Speaker 9: winning team and just seeing how everything was run, how 175 00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:03,079 Speaker 9: the players engagement with one another and. 176 00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:05,280 Speaker 5: Just a passion for it. And then you know d 177 00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:06,640 Speaker 5: Q and r D line coach. 178 00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:08,840 Speaker 9: You know, it just made a lot easier to want 179 00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:10,800 Speaker 9: to play for those guys, and they put me in 180 00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:13,080 Speaker 9: a situation where I can actually thrive and you know, 181 00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:14,920 Speaker 9: show you know people out there. 182 00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:15,720 Speaker 5: I could still ball. 183 00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:19,520 Speaker 3: You know, other positions, receivers, tight ends, corners, they draft 184 00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:21,679 Speaker 3: the first round pick at that position, and they get 185 00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:24,120 Speaker 3: a little salty about it, like what say about me? 186 00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:26,760 Speaker 1: I have a feeling you weren't. You weren't salty at 187 00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:27,520 Speaker 1: all with that. 188 00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:31,560 Speaker 5: I did not mind. Honestly, I was actually happy. 189 00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:34,120 Speaker 9: I was a little surprised because you know, obviously I'm 190 00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:37,080 Speaker 9: Ohio State guy and he's a Michigan guy, and I'm like, bro, 191 00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:39,240 Speaker 9: I didn't really hear too much about this guy. But 192 00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:41,200 Speaker 9: once I went and you know, checked him out and 193 00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:44,079 Speaker 9: washing him, and then you know, seeing them in person. 194 00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:45,720 Speaker 5: I say, yeah, they got something special. 195 00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:48,720 Speaker 9: So I don't really think, you know, me and him 196 00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:51,360 Speaker 9: in the middle, whoever the rotation may be, we ain't 197 00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:54,760 Speaker 9: got to worry about too much. But uh, Bruh's definitely, 198 00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:57,120 Speaker 9: you know, a good selection that they made. 199 00:09:57,120 --> 00:09:57,920 Speaker 1: Back in the day. 200 00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:00,720 Speaker 3: I think you're second, third, fourth year when you were 201 00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:04,480 Speaker 3: with the Giants. I'm sorry, I don't even know you. 202 00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:06,400 Speaker 5: Got to bring that. 203 00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:12,280 Speaker 3: Honestly, they call yeah, Damien, Damien Harris. 204 00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:14,960 Speaker 5: That's right, snack big snacks and. 205 00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:15,720 Speaker 1: You two together. 206 00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:20,559 Speaker 3: I mean, because that was Dak's rookie year and they 207 00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:22,559 Speaker 3: lost the first game, they won eleven in a row, 208 00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:25,480 Speaker 3: lost the and they lost to you guys both times. Yeah, 209 00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:27,760 Speaker 3: I mean there was something about that middle there. I 210 00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:29,760 Speaker 3: don't think Zeke loved running right right through the middle. 211 00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:32,680 Speaker 3: But the combination of two guys, like you said, two 212 00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:35,199 Speaker 3: really strong guys, what can that bring this all? 213 00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:35,800 Speaker 7: Man? 214 00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:37,840 Speaker 9: It can bring a lot to this defense, especially on 215 00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:41,160 Speaker 9: first and second down, you know, putting offices and situations 216 00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:43,719 Speaker 9: they don't want to be in and uh where we 217 00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:46,880 Speaker 9: are actually comfortable and thriving at. So anything in the 218 00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:49,880 Speaker 9: second and long or you know, third and fifteen or 219 00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:52,559 Speaker 9: second and fifteen, we got another group of guys that's 220 00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:55,320 Speaker 9: ready to come in and you know, destroy these quarterbacks 221 00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:57,840 Speaker 9: and running back. So it kind of plays into our hand, 222 00:10:57,880 --> 00:10:59,680 Speaker 9: and that's that's what we're trying to do this year. 223 00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:03,440 Speaker 3: We fans are typically really smart of what's going on 224 00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:07,000 Speaker 3: with with all positions. But I think sometimes they kind 225 00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:09,120 Speaker 3: of forget defensive tackles aren't supposed to get a ton 226 00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:12,160 Speaker 3: of sacks. You know, three or four sacks is a 227 00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:15,560 Speaker 3: good season, but your second year seven sacks? 228 00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:17,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, what were you doing? I mean, what was going 229 00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:18,240 Speaker 1: on there? 230 00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:18,720 Speaker 5: Man? 231 00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:22,280 Speaker 9: Really just just listening to the older guys and just 232 00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:24,280 Speaker 9: going out there and play. You know, at the time, 233 00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:27,679 Speaker 9: we had JPP Justin Tugg and you know I had 234 00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:30,679 Speaker 9: some you know, Culen Jenkins, Lanville Joseph. So I had 235 00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:33,640 Speaker 9: some some veterans around me that gave me the confidence 236 00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:35,760 Speaker 9: to go out there and beat myself and you know, 237 00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:37,720 Speaker 9: show that just because we run stoppers, I don't mean 238 00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:40,719 Speaker 9: we can't get to the quarterback or affect them. And uh, 239 00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:42,320 Speaker 9: you know, I just put it all there out on 240 00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:43,440 Speaker 9: the table, you know. 241 00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:44,640 Speaker 1: Awesome. 242 00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:47,440 Speaker 3: Well, I've got some questions here from the fans, and 243 00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:50,040 Speaker 3: one of them they're gonna go right in. This is 244 00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:54,600 Speaker 3: going right in. Ask him if he's stronger than Mazzie Smith. 245 00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:59,040 Speaker 9: No, No, we're close. Stronger than that guy here when 246 00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:01,080 Speaker 9: it comes to the way room. Yeah, not strong, But 247 00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:04,000 Speaker 9: you put me on the field, you know, football position, 248 00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:04,760 Speaker 9: good technique. 249 00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:06,839 Speaker 5: Yeah, I cannot strengthen anybody in front of. 250 00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:10,400 Speaker 3: Me, whether you've seen play out here or even in 251 00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:12,319 Speaker 3: the weight room, what have you seen from Mazie that 252 00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:12,760 Speaker 3: you're like. 253 00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:15,559 Speaker 5: Oh, this guy warming up with three fifteen. 254 00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:16,679 Speaker 1: It warming up. 255 00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:20,480 Speaker 9: That's usually like my inst when I'm dealing with my workouts. 256 00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:22,840 Speaker 5: So that right there just shows you how strong a 257 00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:24,120 Speaker 5: power over this guy is. 258 00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:26,880 Speaker 3: Yeah, all right, let's go to some other questions here. 259 00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:29,160 Speaker 3: This one is from William Houses. He said, I love 260 00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:32,760 Speaker 3: Big Hank, been waiting on him for a player like 261 00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:35,200 Speaker 3: this on this team for years. My question, if you 262 00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:37,760 Speaker 3: can ask him, what's the most important attribute of being 263 00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:40,240 Speaker 3: able to hold up at the point attack side strength 264 00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:41,880 Speaker 3: or maybe technique. 265 00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:45,400 Speaker 9: Technique and having good being in the knees and just 266 00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:48,400 Speaker 9: to understand and you know what kind of blocks you getting, 267 00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:50,760 Speaker 9: and then just going out there and bawling, you know 268 00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:52,240 Speaker 9: what I mean. You can't really think too much when 269 00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:54,319 Speaker 9: you're inside in the middle, especially when you're getting double 270 00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:56,160 Speaker 9: team a lot, but just going out there and playing, 271 00:12:56,480 --> 00:12:57,960 Speaker 9: and I'll be doing this for eleven years now. 272 00:12:57,960 --> 00:12:59,880 Speaker 5: I can pretty much close my eyes and play a block. 273 00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:04,720 Speaker 3: So Dave from South Texas, who's your least favorite lineman 274 00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:08,400 Speaker 3: to go up against the camp and why he's probably 275 00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:08,800 Speaker 3: not here. 276 00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:14,160 Speaker 5: Is he? Yeah? 277 00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:16,880 Speaker 9: Yeah, I didn't really you know, last year and practice 278 00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:21,160 Speaker 9: going against that guy. It's a handful, but surprisingly Tyren 279 00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:23,120 Speaker 9: smith Man, you know sometimes when I get in a 280 00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:25,720 Speaker 9: two hours sometimes three technique and you get a down 281 00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:28,600 Speaker 9: block from that guy, that's like a a stel brick 282 00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:30,520 Speaker 9: kit you at times. So you know, I try to 283 00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:31,280 Speaker 9: stay away from him. 284 00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:33,880 Speaker 3: I feel like, you know, everyone wants to have the 285 00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:36,319 Speaker 3: left tackle of the future. I've said it several times. 286 00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:37,920 Speaker 3: I think he's a left guard because I think you 287 00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:40,800 Speaker 3: got to protect the middle, especially with your quarterback and 288 00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:43,240 Speaker 3: run the ball. You feel like he's a guard tackle 289 00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:44,720 Speaker 3: or he's just a baller, he's just whatever. 290 00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:49,960 Speaker 5: Tyler smith Oh man, he's just a baller. 291 00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:50,200 Speaker 7: Man. 292 00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:52,280 Speaker 9: When you getting guys like that to be able to 293 00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:57,280 Speaker 9: play inside and out, both sides, both tackles. That guy's athletic, 294 00:13:57,360 --> 00:13:59,000 Speaker 9: you know what I mean, just offics of line. He's 295 00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:02,280 Speaker 9: athletic as well. But it was nice to not seeing 296 00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:05,080 Speaker 9: him today too as well. 297 00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:08,440 Speaker 3: Jake Benois, this says, do you remember battling anyone as 298 00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:10,760 Speaker 3: badass as Zach Martin? So I'll just kind of change 299 00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:14,800 Speaker 3: it what what Who is the best man interior lineman 300 00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:15,640 Speaker 3: you've faced. 301 00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:18,319 Speaker 5: When I was with the Giants, when it was Frederick 302 00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:19,200 Speaker 5: who was the. 303 00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:20,560 Speaker 1: Center, Travis Frederick. 304 00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:22,119 Speaker 5: Travis Frederick, I had. 305 00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:26,880 Speaker 9: Larry and just that whole office line back in you know, 306 00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:29,280 Speaker 9: when I was playing back in the day, it was 307 00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:32,240 Speaker 9: it was war out there. Yeah, it was no cupcake 308 00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:36,720 Speaker 9: game for neither one of our sides. So I'll probably say, Dallas. 309 00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:39,240 Speaker 3: All right, Dallas, that's good. That's what they're obviously trying 310 00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:41,760 Speaker 3: to trying to get back here. All right, So what 311 00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:45,120 Speaker 3: does your eleven? What does a preseason type thing look 312 00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:47,440 Speaker 3: like for you? Do you need some some reps? Do 313 00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:49,720 Speaker 3: you want some would you rather just say I'll go 314 00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:51,040 Speaker 3: up against the Giants for sure. 315 00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:52,680 Speaker 5: If if they want me to go get some reps, 316 00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:53,800 Speaker 5: I go get him. You know what I mean. 317 00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:56,000 Speaker 9: I would never turn on any rep, especially if the 318 00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:58,200 Speaker 9: coach telling to go out there and get him. But 319 00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:01,320 Speaker 9: obviously in practice I'm getting a ton of reps, getting 320 00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:02,120 Speaker 9: a lot of snaps. 321 00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:05,000 Speaker 5: So but you know, this being year eleven, you know, most. 322 00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:08,360 Speaker 9: Guys won't want to play. But thankfully we got a 323 00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:10,000 Speaker 9: lot of good depth, a lot of young guys. I 324 00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:12,320 Speaker 9: need to actually get the reps and show you know 325 00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:12,960 Speaker 9: what they can do. 326 00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:15,560 Speaker 5: So either call, it doesn't matter. 327 00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:18,080 Speaker 3: All right, So I'm going to translate. If you want 328 00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:20,560 Speaker 3: me to play, I'll play. But if you if it's 329 00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:21,120 Speaker 3: helmet or. 330 00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:24,680 Speaker 5: Some flower seas all the time, all the time. 331 00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:26,000 Speaker 1: All right? Number eleven. 332 00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:29,080 Speaker 3: He seems pretty good out there rushing the passer, rushing 333 00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:31,200 Speaker 3: left side, right side, up the middle. When you have 334 00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:33,080 Speaker 3: a guy that's as dominated as him, this will be 335 00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:34,880 Speaker 3: our last one. When you haven't got dominated as him, 336 00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:37,720 Speaker 3: that can play so many things? How how does that 337 00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:39,680 Speaker 3: change what you guys do? How exciting is it? 338 00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:39,880 Speaker 5: Bro? 339 00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:44,680 Speaker 9: It literally makes it makes it easy for everybody else. 340 00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:51,040 Speaker 9: And my man is you know, Mike is a generation 341 00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:55,040 Speaker 9: like I still get like memorized of watching him practice 342 00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:58,560 Speaker 9: over really past rushing just because he could be a linebacker. 343 00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:00,800 Speaker 9: He can rush from the hours, he can rush from 344 00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:02,280 Speaker 9: the three, he can rush from off the ball, in 345 00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:04,080 Speaker 9: front of the center, he could rush on top of 346 00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:07,320 Speaker 9: the center. And he's not that big of a guy, 347 00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:10,040 Speaker 9: but he's so explosive, so fast, so good. 348 00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:12,200 Speaker 5: With his hands. And it's this year three fun. 349 00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:13,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, Like. 350 00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:16,360 Speaker 5: I never seen nothing like it. 351 00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:20,200 Speaker 9: Man, I can't really I don't know if you can 352 00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:22,160 Speaker 9: compare him to you know what I mean, Like. 353 00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:25,120 Speaker 3: Well, they try to compare to Lawrence Taylor. That's before 354 00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:26,720 Speaker 3: your time. But I'm sure you've heard a lot about 355 00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:27,520 Speaker 3: him when you were at the Giant. 356 00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:29,800 Speaker 5: No, for sure, I would definitely respect Lawrence Taylor. 357 00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:33,800 Speaker 9: But in this generation, in Micah's time, he's by far 358 00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:35,920 Speaker 9: one of the best defensive linemans I've ever seen. 359 00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:37,960 Speaker 3: Awesome, He's seen a lot of It's like we said 360 00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:39,600 Speaker 3: year eleven, all right, we're getting it. 361 00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:41,680 Speaker 1: We're getting to wrap up.

I'm Nick Heaven really want to 408 00:19:05,160 --> 00:19:09,000 Speaker 3: thank Jonathan Hankins for stopping by. He's a fun guy, 409 00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:12,800 Speaker 3: big old, big old, strong guy. Drives a really cool 410 00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:14,719 Speaker 3: car too. He didn't want me to talk about it, 411 00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:19,359 Speaker 3: but it's pretty cool. Drives it here in the parking lot, 412 00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:23,000 Speaker 3: got some got some swag to him for a big guy, 413 00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:25,440 Speaker 3: And that's funny how he said that about I think 414 00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:29,320 Speaker 3: most veterans feel that way about preseason, Like, yeah, I'm 415 00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:31,320 Speaker 3: gonna play. I'm a football player. I'll play if you 416 00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:34,560 Speaker 3: want me to, but do you really want me to? Preseason? 417 00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:37,680 Speaker 3: Gotta get ready for that Week one game against the Giants. 418 00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:39,720 Speaker 3: You know he will be chomping at the bit for 419 00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:43,400 Speaker 3: that when having started his career with the Giants and 420 00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:47,000 Speaker 3: played the first four seasons there. All right, let's talk 421 00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:49,840 Speaker 3: a little bit more about the defensive tackle position. We 422 00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:53,040 Speaker 3: have a question here from Brett Bender. Says Nick, what 423 00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:55,600 Speaker 3: are your thoughts on the defensive tackle position in Dallas? 424 00:19:55,600 --> 00:20:00,000 Speaker 3: Any chance Bohanna or Gallimore make a bigger impact this season? 425 00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:03,240 Speaker 3: They're gonna have their work cut out for him. There's 426 00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:06,280 Speaker 3: no doubt about it. Because when you draft the player 427 00:20:06,359 --> 00:20:10,200 Speaker 3: first round, like they did in Mazzie Smith, the first 428 00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:15,520 Speaker 3: time in I think thirty two years since Russell Maryland 429 00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:18,119 Speaker 3: that you drafted a first rounder, and of course he 430 00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:21,159 Speaker 3: went one overall, but still it's not a position you 431 00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:23,760 Speaker 3: typically do. You don't address it that early, but the 432 00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:27,359 Speaker 3: Cowboys did this year. He's obviously making it. He's gonna 433 00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:29,359 Speaker 3: have a big impact. I think OsO Digy Zoo is 434 00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:32,880 Speaker 3: gonna have a nice role in the middle as well. 435 00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:35,200 Speaker 3: And then of course the guy we just interviewed, Hankins. 436 00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:38,720 Speaker 3: They've resigned him and he's gonna have a prominent role 437 00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:42,359 Speaker 3: as well. So then past that, and then you start 438 00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:45,720 Speaker 3: wondering where some of these other guys will fit. And 439 00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:51,280 Speaker 3: Neville Gallimore is in that boat, so is Bohanna, so 440 00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:56,320 Speaker 3: is Chauncey Golston. So I think they've got depth. I 441 00:20:56,400 --> 00:21:01,000 Speaker 3: think that they've got trade potential there if if there 442 00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:03,359 Speaker 3: is something that they need right before the end of 443 00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:07,520 Speaker 3: UH preseason and training camp, I could see that happen. 444 00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:10,600 Speaker 3: I could see the Cowboys maybe trying to trade somebody 445 00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:13,280 Speaker 3: that there's just not gonna make the team. 446 00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:14,520 Speaker 1: I've said it before. 447 00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:17,760 Speaker 3: You've got draft picks at defensive tackle that are gonna 448 00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:20,800 Speaker 3: be fighting for spots. And that's that's Gallamore, that's Rhanna, 449 00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:25,240 Speaker 3: that's Golston. I know I'm missing a tackle in there, 450 00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:28,800 Speaker 3: somebody else that that uh is you know, I know 451 00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:32,800 Speaker 3: Isaac aler Cohen's in there. He's not probably ready to 452 00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:36,399 Speaker 3: make the team. Practice squad would be, uh, you know, 453 00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:39,200 Speaker 3: his best thing, because he's starting over. He's starting over 454 00:21:39,240 --> 00:21:43,360 Speaker 3: playing defensive tackle, so his best bat, I would think 455 00:21:43,359 --> 00:21:47,280 Speaker 3: would be would be practice squad. So to say they've 456 00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:50,880 Speaker 3: got some talent I think Mazie and Hankins, it's gonna 457 00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:53,640 Speaker 3: be very very strong OSA. I mean that that that's 458 00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:56,960 Speaker 3: a really good set of defensive tackles there in the middle. 459 00:21:57,000 --> 00:21:59,480 Speaker 3: And then you also factor in all those pass rushers 460 00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:02,840 Speaker 3: they have on third and long. Tank slides inside sometimes 461 00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:05,960 Speaker 3: Dorance can slide inside, so you're gonna have guys rushing 462 00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:09,120 Speaker 3: the past or front from the inside as well. All right, 463 00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:12,120 Speaker 3: Mike Gray, I think he's from a Popka, Florida. He's 464 00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:15,240 Speaker 3: one of the old old school listeners. He's one of 465 00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:20,720 Speaker 3: the ogs of Dallascowboys dot Com Radio says. With the 466 00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:24,360 Speaker 3: additions of Hankins, Gilmour Cooks, guys that have actually won 467 00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:27,119 Speaker 3: Super Bowls and the impact they have made off the 468 00:22:27,119 --> 00:22:28,800 Speaker 3: field in the locker room, do you think it will 469 00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:31,640 Speaker 3: change Steven Jones approach in the future when it comes 470 00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:35,960 Speaker 3: to adding veteran players. Let's see what happens on the field. 471 00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:39,160 Speaker 3: I mean, right now, they seem to be good additions. 472 00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:42,640 Speaker 3: Let's see if if Gilmore goes and has six interceptions 473 00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:45,119 Speaker 3: and he's a great player and he helps Digs even more, 474 00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:48,439 Speaker 3: then yeah, that's great move. Same with Cooks. He's had 475 00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:52,720 Speaker 3: a thousand yards five different places. Let's see if he 476 00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:55,480 Speaker 3: can do it again. I mean, there's no reason why 477 00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:59,440 Speaker 3: he shouldn't. I don't think they they will say. I 478 00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:02,000 Speaker 3: don't think Steve Eve will say that they're changing their approach. 479 00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:05,840 Speaker 3: I think that it worked for this time, and they 480 00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:08,440 Speaker 3: found situations at work. You remember, they had a few 481 00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:11,879 Speaker 3: more picks that they were able to part with compensatory 482 00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:15,520 Speaker 3: picks that they were okay doing that. So I don't 483 00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:19,040 Speaker 3: think they're changing their philosophy. But I do think that 484 00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:23,000 Speaker 3: if it works, I think you'll definitely look to do 485 00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:29,040 Speaker 3: it again. Case by case scenarios. All Right, Joe Simpson, 486 00:23:29,119 --> 00:23:31,800 Speaker 3: he says, I'm truly worried about the Cowboys oh line. 487 00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:35,160 Speaker 3: Do you consider it a potential achilles heel of this team? 488 00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:39,200 Speaker 3: Offensive line is always the achilles heel of the team, potentially, 489 00:23:39,720 --> 00:23:42,760 Speaker 3: because if you can't block, you can't do anything. You 490 00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:46,359 Speaker 3: can't run, you can't throw, you can't catch, you can't 491 00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:50,399 Speaker 3: do anything. So if you get an injury or three 492 00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:54,919 Speaker 3: at the offensive line, yeah, it potentially could be a problem. 493 00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:57,240 Speaker 3: Or you know, like we said earlier in the show, 494 00:23:57,320 --> 00:24:01,159 Speaker 3: if Zach Martin just continues to hold out and just 495 00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:05,600 Speaker 3: give money to charity, which is what he's doing right now. 496 00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:08,800 Speaker 3: But you know, with him not out there, then you 497 00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:12,280 Speaker 3: wonder what else is going what other guys are gonna 498 00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:15,560 Speaker 3: slide into this mix. I think that it'll get it'll 499 00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:19,040 Speaker 3: be fine eventually, because I do think they have some talent. 500 00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:22,080 Speaker 3: It's gonna take a lot of injuries. It's gonna take 501 00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:26,600 Speaker 3: an injury, you know, to tiring and then and then 502 00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:30,080 Speaker 3: the backup or maybe another guy knock on wood. But 503 00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:35,600 Speaker 3: but I just think, bless you strong strong sneeze up 504 00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:39,320 Speaker 3: there in the in the gallery. I think that the 505 00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:43,760 Speaker 3: offensive line is in good shape right now, but it 506 00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:48,080 Speaker 3: all takes his two or three injuries at any point, 507 00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:50,240 Speaker 3: and that it could be on the rails at that point. 508 00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:56,280 Speaker 3: So I'm not truly worried about it. We haven't played 509 00:24:56,280 --> 00:24:58,680 Speaker 3: any games, though. I want to see what Matt Welltsko 510 00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:02,600 Speaker 3: can do. I want to se see with Josh Ball 511 00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:04,760 Speaker 3: as we talked about him earlier. I want to see 512 00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:08,640 Speaker 3: these guys in games. And you know, he also want 513 00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:13,159 Speaker 3: to see see Tyron Smith and how he can just 514 00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:15,400 Speaker 3: if he can stay healthy. He really hasn't been able 515 00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:17,280 Speaker 3: to do it last five years. This year, it's a 516 00:25:17,320 --> 00:25:20,720 Speaker 3: little different. His contract is different. He's making about a 517 00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:25,520 Speaker 3: million dollars a game, so I bet you he'll make 518 00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:27,919 Speaker 3: sure that he's out there the best that he can be. 519 00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:29,520 Speaker 1: And he's always been that type of guy. 520 00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:33,840 Speaker 3: All Right, Daniel Vega, he said, who's been the biggest 521 00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:38,560 Speaker 3: camp surprise so far? Well, Daniel, I'm not going to 522 00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:40,199 Speaker 3: give you ten, because there is going to be an 523 00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:45,240 Speaker 3: article on our website of the ten camp surprises. And 524 00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:48,680 Speaker 3: I think the spirit of this question is which player 525 00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:51,480 Speaker 3: has been the biggest surprise. It's not the biggest surprise 526 00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:54,399 Speaker 3: to me any player doing well. The biggest surprise is 527 00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:56,960 Speaker 3: that Zach Martin is not here. That's the biggest surprise. 528 00:25:57,320 --> 00:26:00,320 Speaker 3: The biggest player, though, is I mean it's Jayalen Bucks 529 00:26:01,119 --> 00:26:06,479 Speaker 3: eighty three. He's unbelievable. He has been phenomenal, not just 530 00:26:06,560 --> 00:26:09,280 Speaker 3: for a seventh round pick, and not for a seventh 531 00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:12,000 Speaker 3: round pick who didn't catch any passes at South Carolina. 532 00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:14,679 Speaker 3: He has been phenomenal. If you just look at the 533 00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:17,000 Speaker 3: tape and go, who's this guy. Oh, he's our second 534 00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:20,760 Speaker 3: round pick out of Virginia. Oh, he looks great. Well, 535 00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:23,239 Speaker 3: he's the seventh round pick out of South Carolina. He 536 00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:26,800 Speaker 3: looks great. He had to catch today today's practice in 537 00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:29,760 Speaker 3: the back of the end zone. It was a fifty 538 00:26:29,960 --> 00:26:33,560 Speaker 3: yard bomb from Dak can't remember the corner that was 539 00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:38,600 Speaker 3: trying to cover. It was not Digs, I don't remember. 540 00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:41,119 Speaker 3: But he does go up against Now he's in the rotation. 541 00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:43,560 Speaker 3: He's going up against some of these top corners. But 542 00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:47,439 Speaker 3: he had had great separation. Did not look like he 543 00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:49,000 Speaker 3: was going to catch up to this pass in the 544 00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:51,320 Speaker 3: back of the end zone. He makes a diving catch 545 00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:55,320 Speaker 3: for what would be a touchdown. Rolls does a summersault, 546 00:26:55,440 --> 00:26:56,080 Speaker 3: gets up. 547 00:26:57,880 --> 00:26:57,960 Speaker 4: This. 548 00:26:58,920 --> 00:27:01,800 Speaker 3: You know what, you're kind of waiting for the for 549 00:27:01,840 --> 00:27:04,280 Speaker 3: the bottom to drop here. I mean, have a bad day, 550 00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:06,280 Speaker 3: hit a rookie wall show us why you went in 551 00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:11,080 Speaker 3: the seventh round not seeing it. Jalen Brooks has been 552 00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:15,119 Speaker 3: really good. I think he's I think he's been the 553 00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:17,640 Speaker 3: third best receiver here. I'm not saying he's the third 554 00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:20,159 Speaker 3: best receiver. I think he has been the third best receiver. 555 00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:24,439 Speaker 3: I think Cooks and and CD have been outstanding. I 556 00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:27,080 Speaker 3: think this guy's been right there. Sometimes it's easy to 557 00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:31,119 Speaker 3: say that when your expectations are low. All right, Ken 558 00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:34,000 Speaker 3: will Win is the name of this one. Ken will 559 00:27:34,040 --> 00:27:37,040 Speaker 3: Win he says, do you think Michah will be more 560 00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:40,640 Speaker 3: prone to some offside penalties? Teams trying to draw him 561 00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:46,199 Speaker 3: off sides? What's the over under there. I'll take one 562 00:27:46,240 --> 00:27:50,720 Speaker 3: a game for a sack DeMarcus Ware he used to 563 00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:54,080 Speaker 3: do it all the time. Floseel Adams led the league 564 00:27:54,160 --> 00:27:57,160 Speaker 3: in faalse start penalties, but nobody was really getting around him. 565 00:27:58,080 --> 00:28:00,000 Speaker 3: DeMarcus got twenty sacks one year. I think he got 566 00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:05,600 Speaker 3: almost I got like fifteen off side penalties. It happens. 567 00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:10,360 Speaker 3: It happens. It's not an excuse. It's not say, oh, 568 00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:15,239 Speaker 3: you know, don't worry about it. But if he's if 569 00:28:15,280 --> 00:28:18,240 Speaker 3: he's getting if he can stay somewhat disciplined, it happens 570 00:28:18,280 --> 00:28:18,960 Speaker 3: every now and again. 571 00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:20,600 Speaker 1: That's fine. For the most part. 572 00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:23,560 Speaker 3: They'll get after the quarterback, get after the quarterback, and 573 00:28:23,560 --> 00:28:25,159 Speaker 3: if that's what they're having to do to try to 574 00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:27,280 Speaker 3: draw you off side, as long as it's not all 575 00:28:27,320 --> 00:28:29,560 Speaker 3: the way down the field and create a drive for 576 00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:33,000 Speaker 3: someone you know, have some discipline. But for the most part, 577 00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:35,600 Speaker 3: I'm not too worried about a five yard sack. If 578 00:28:35,600 --> 00:28:39,640 Speaker 3: he's getting a strip sack, force fumble a few plays later. 579 00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:43,600 Speaker 3: All right, Patrick from Houston. He says, should the Cowboys 580 00:28:43,640 --> 00:28:46,400 Speaker 3: have drafted a kicker in each of the last two years? 581 00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:53,080 Speaker 1: Sure? I mean where where I mean? Right now? 582 00:28:53,120 --> 00:28:56,200 Speaker 3: It looks like the Cowboys comfort level of taking kickers 583 00:28:56,280 --> 00:29:01,000 Speaker 3: is fifth, sixth, seventh round. And there was two good 584 00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:03,760 Speaker 3: ones this year they both went, but third, fourth round 585 00:29:03,760 --> 00:29:05,880 Speaker 3: they went. They went higher than what the Cowboys are 586 00:29:05,880 --> 00:29:09,320 Speaker 3: comfortable doing. That's just the way it is. Should they 587 00:29:09,360 --> 00:29:11,760 Speaker 3: be Should they have a little bit more you know, 588 00:29:12,600 --> 00:29:16,040 Speaker 3: presidents there? Should should they? Should they say, Man, we 589 00:29:16,240 --> 00:29:18,360 Speaker 3: got to get a kicker way earlier than this, a 590 00:29:18,360 --> 00:29:22,600 Speaker 3: little bit more urgency. Sure, sure, I'm fine with that. 591 00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:26,680 Speaker 3: I know this isn't fantasy football, but that's the way 592 00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:28,959 Speaker 3: I do it. And when I'm drafted in fantasy football, 593 00:29:28,960 --> 00:29:30,640 Speaker 3: I want to get I want to get the best 594 00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:32,680 Speaker 3: guy at this position. So I'm usually the first one 595 00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:35,320 Speaker 3: to take the kicker, or the defense or the tight end. 596 00:29:35,360 --> 00:29:38,720 Speaker 3: Which that's that's different now with Kelsey at tight end, 597 00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:40,760 Speaker 3: he's in a first round. But back in the day, 598 00:29:40,800 --> 00:29:42,440 Speaker 3: you know, you waited a little bit. And I say 599 00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:46,440 Speaker 3: all this to say me personally, because kickers matter so much, 600 00:29:46,560 --> 00:29:47,880 Speaker 3: I'm taking a kicker a little bit. 601 00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:48,880 Speaker 1: Earlier than most teams. 602 00:29:49,280 --> 00:29:51,600 Speaker 3: If I if there's one that I'm like, this guy 603 00:29:51,760 --> 00:29:54,680 Speaker 3: is really really great or has the potential to be great. 604 00:29:55,080 --> 00:30:00,640 Speaker 3: So Cowboys really aren't there just yet. All right, Scott 605 00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:05,200 Speaker 3: from New Jersey. What rookie is. 606 00:30:05,160 --> 00:30:08,960 Speaker 1: Gonna crush it this year? Which draft pick? 607 00:30:10,800 --> 00:30:15,800 Speaker 3: I mean, you know Mazzie Smith, he's the first round pick, 608 00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:19,480 Speaker 3: but I don't see him. I don't see him making 609 00:30:19,640 --> 00:30:21,840 Speaker 3: like a huge splash. It is hard to make a 610 00:30:21,840 --> 00:30:24,640 Speaker 3: splice at that position. It doesn't mean that you can't 611 00:30:25,080 --> 00:30:28,240 Speaker 3: solidify the run, but it's gonna be hard to just 612 00:30:28,280 --> 00:30:31,560 Speaker 3: come in and just be a difference maker at that position. 613 00:30:31,920 --> 00:30:33,680 Speaker 3: I think the guy that has a chance to do 614 00:30:33,720 --> 00:30:37,880 Speaker 3: it the most is probably Overshown from third round linebacker 615 00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:40,960 Speaker 3: from Texas. He could play all over the field. Of course, 616 00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:44,160 Speaker 3: Stjalen Brooks looks great. Duce Vaughan, I mean, that's gonna 617 00:30:44,160 --> 00:30:46,760 Speaker 3: be fun to watch. And then you know Eric Scott Junior, 618 00:30:46,800 --> 00:30:49,760 Speaker 3: he's he's a really good corner too, so they got 619 00:30:49,760 --> 00:30:52,720 Speaker 3: a lot of options. I think Deuce will will probably 620 00:30:52,800 --> 00:30:56,960 Speaker 3: have the most wow plays this year. All Right, That's 621 00:30:57,000 --> 00:30:59,720 Speaker 3: that's it for my questions here, That's it for this show. 622 00:30:59,720 --> 00:31:03,120 Speaker 3: It's fun Jonathan Hankins. We want to thank him for 623 00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:05,760 Speaker 3: coming by, and I also thank Chris Beam for running 624 00:31:05,760 --> 00:31:06,920 Speaker 3: around and getting this set up. 625 00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:09,880 Speaker 1: And he's I mean, Chris Bean. I'm telling you, if. 626 00:31:09,720 --> 00:31:13,520 Speaker 3: I don't know one, he could be in the NASCAR 627 00:31:13,640 --> 00:31:15,640 Speaker 3: pit crew because not only does he know how to 628 00:31:15,640 --> 00:31:18,160 Speaker 3: get things done, he can do it like in fifteen seconds. 629 00:31:18,240 --> 00:31:19,760 Speaker 3: You know, I need to switch this out for this 630 00:31:19,840 --> 00:31:23,040 Speaker 3: cab I go. I mean that's what he does. He's 631 00:31:23,080 --> 00:31:26,400 Speaker 3: like mcgiver, love him. He's the best. And he's beating 632 00:31:26,440 --> 00:31:28,440 Speaker 3: in the sun right now. So all right, let's get 633 00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:31,560 Speaker 3: out of here. It's been a great, great show. Looking 634 00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:37,080 Speaker 3: forward to tomorrow's show, Looking forward to tomorrow's show for 635 00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:41,280 Speaker 3: next time. This has been Cowboys storyline Peace. 636 00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:45,320 Speaker 2: This has been a production of Dallascowboys dot Com and 637 00:31:45,520 --> 00:31:48,440 Speaker 2: the Dallas Cowboys Foot four Club. 638 00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:00,280 Speaker 9: Yeah.
