Darryl 0:05:38.800 --> 0:05:42.839 moose Johnston was kind of right man, and he's great. 0:05:42.120 --> 0:05:45.679 He is. You know, Tommy got Brady is a different 0:05:45.720 --> 0:05:49.520 aging will Darryl moose Johnson, he doesn't age.

News and notes for the Cowboys have been 0:06:14.839 --> 0:06:17.600 pretty dry recently. I mean it's a quiet time around 0:06:17.640 --> 0:06:19.680 the Star, but we do have rookie Minicamp coming up 0:06:19.680 --> 0:06:22.240 this weekend. Anything stick out to you over the last week. 0:06:22.320 --> 0:06:26.680 We are waiting till Thursday, when the rookies arrive. I 0:06:26.720 --> 0:06:29.840 think it's well, it's nine draft picks, it is. I 0:06:29.880 --> 0:06:35.600 think twenty ish rookie free agents, handful of veteran guys, 0:06:35.600 --> 0:06:38.200 like first year eligible guys who will take part, a 0:06:38.200 --> 0:06:41.839 couple tryout guys. They'll come in Thursday, they'll get their 0:06:42.760 --> 0:06:46.080 physicals done, everything checks out, they'll sign their contracts, get 0:06:46.120 --> 0:06:48.280 their equipment, and then we'll have some football on the 0:06:48.320 --> 0:06:54.920 field Friday and Saturday Football Americano. So it starts Thursday, 0:06:55.000 --> 0:06:58.840 but no like on field stuff really Thursday, right, No, No, Thursday, 0:06:59.040 --> 0:07:03.000 just come in check again, get everything rolling, physicals. That's 0:07:03.040 --> 0:07:05.520 why the deals are not signed yet because guys that's 0:07:05.520 --> 0:07:08.040 all got to check out. So they'll take care of that. 0:07:08.120 --> 0:07:11.280 And it used to be Zaya tell me if I'm wrong, 0:07:11.320 --> 0:07:14.200 but I want to say you came in and up 0:07:14.280 --> 0:07:15.960 until a few years ago. It was the week after 0:07:16.000 --> 0:07:19.800 the draft. Guys would come in for the rookie camp. Man, 0:07:19.800 --> 0:07:25.160 I don't mother's weekend, and it just was a combination 0:07:25.200 --> 0:07:27.960 of like, I remember it was hot. I remember that. See. Yeah, 0:07:28.040 --> 0:07:30.320 it was two practices I think a day, and you 0:07:30.360 --> 0:07:35.040 know there's been situations where guys have puked called earl. 0:07:35.240 --> 0:07:37.680 I was on a bike, man, I was still injured. Yeah, 0:07:37.760 --> 0:07:40.000 I was still on rehab protocol. So they threw me 0:07:40.040 --> 0:07:43.040 on a bike in the Devil's playground out there, and 0:07:43.200 --> 0:07:46.760 uh yeah it was hot man. They Valley Ranch. Jason 0:07:46.800 --> 0:07:51.680 Garrett finally scrapped Hot Brot. Yeah, bro I was. I'm 0:07:51.760 --> 0:07:54.040 telling I went from Seattle, which was like like upper 0:07:54.120 --> 0:07:56.080 forties yea, to all of a sudden came down here 0:07:56.080 --> 0:07:57.680 and it was been in mid nineties, and I just 0:07:57.760 --> 0:07:59.520 saw Jesus on that bike. I was on a bike 0:07:59.600 --> 0:08:02.360 all day. And that's that's the thing, Like there's guys 0:08:02.400 --> 0:08:04.960 that come from different climates and you haven't you're not 0:08:05.080 --> 0:08:07.760 in football shape, you've been auditioning for the draft. It's 0:08:07.760 --> 0:08:09.920 not the same. It's nowhere near the same. And then 0:08:10.040 --> 0:08:12.680 get thrown into two days and finally Garrett was like scrapped. 0:08:12.680 --> 0:08:15.480 This is that literally, you're welcome to welcome to the 0:08:15.640 --> 0:08:19.360 NFL moment as a rookie or as it m at 0:08:19.400 --> 0:08:23.280 camp OTAs no not mine mines. Was against my first 0:08:23.360 --> 0:08:26.160 practice in camp, coming off of injury and all that jazz, 0:08:26.280 --> 0:08:28.160 not having gone through Ricky stuff, because I was hurt 0:08:28.480 --> 0:08:31.160 stepping on the field and my We were practicing against 0:08:31.160 --> 0:08:34.360 Denmer Broncos. And my first rep of one on ones 0:08:34.400 --> 0:08:36.200 we were doing one on ones was against some dude 0:08:36.280 --> 0:08:40.280 named Champ Bailey. Oh yeah, that I ran the only 0:08:40.360 --> 0:08:41.680 route that I knew how to run because I had 0:08:41.720 --> 0:08:47.560 never played receiver straight, go straight and fast, seaball, catch ball, 0:08:48.400 --> 0:08:51.040 walked other directions, don't make eye contact. So how did 0:08:51.120 --> 0:08:52.920 that go for you? I did it, and I caught it, 0:08:53.040 --> 0:08:55.040 and I walked the other direction. I didn't make eye contact. 0:08:55.080 --> 0:08:57.839 I did not want to run it back. So I 0:08:57.960 --> 0:09:01.360 won that one. That's not your welcome to the rookie, 0:09:01.640 --> 0:09:04.480 he was the NFL. When you win, idn't even know almost. 0:09:04.520 --> 0:09:07.160 It's like when Kyle humbled, didn't Kyle no, no, no, listen. 0:09:07.480 --> 0:09:09.319 I was already humbled. I was already humbled. I was 0:09:09.440 --> 0:09:11.240 humbled because I came in injured playing a position I 0:09:11.280 --> 0:09:12.920 never played before. So I was humbled already. On the 0:09:13.000 --> 0:09:15.839 receiving room that had they had THO, Yeah, yeah, it 0:09:15.960 --> 0:09:18.040 had some dudes in there, right, t O, TG we 0:09:18.120 --> 0:09:20.120 had some guys, We had some ghosts and PC. So 0:09:20.640 --> 0:09:22.199 I step on the field, I don't even know what 0:09:22.360 --> 0:09:24.800 the heck I'm wearing. I'm wearing all the pads. So 0:09:24.920 --> 0:09:27.400 these guys are clowning me because I'm wearing all the 0:09:27.520 --> 0:09:30.000 thigh pads, all the knee pads. You know, receivers don't 0:09:30.040 --> 0:09:33.079 wear decisions. Dude, I'm out there and TiO and those 0:09:33.080 --> 0:09:35.280 guys are like, what the heck is that? So they're 0:09:35.280 --> 0:09:37.079 clown to me. I don't know how to stand that 0:09:37.160 --> 0:09:40.160 in a receiver position. I don't think people understand how 0:09:40.240 --> 0:09:43.560 raw raw I remember that coming straight out the ocean. 0:09:43.600 --> 0:09:46.120 They just remember that coming up in the locker room 0:09:46.120 --> 0:09:48.599 around that was that was you know, part of the 0:09:49.240 --> 0:09:53.400 that was my wokan. So anyway, they they they used 0:09:53.440 --> 0:09:55.280 to do this the week after. Now it gives a 0:09:55.360 --> 0:09:57.520 chance for guys number one to just get their affars 0:09:57.559 --> 0:09:59.920 in order. Everything settled after the draft, and they come 0:10:00.200 --> 0:10:03.160 right in and jump into the offseason program and it's 0:10:03.520 --> 0:10:05.400 we'll get into we can get into what the camp's 0:10:05.400 --> 0:10:08.599 gonna look like, but it's getting guys ready for OTAs 0:10:08.640 --> 0:10:13.200 when the vets. You know, it's not gonna be super strenuous. Yeah, 0:10:13.320 --> 0:10:15.320 and we've kind of seen that over the last couple 0:10:15.400 --> 0:10:18.640 of off seasons from the virtual standpoint of twenty twenty 0:10:19.040 --> 0:10:21.199 into twenty twenty one where it was one of those 0:10:21.280 --> 0:10:23.280 times and we had talked about it on this show 0:10:23.360 --> 0:10:26.839 many times in the past that it's it's lighter from 0:10:26.920 --> 0:10:29.120 a from an off season standpoint, when you get to 0:10:29.160 --> 0:10:31.120 trading camp, you still hit the ground running, you still 0:10:31.160 --> 0:10:34.400 have your practices, but from an off season standpoint, it's 0:10:34.440 --> 0:10:37.520 a lot of install it's a lot of getting up 0:10:37.559 --> 0:10:40.320 to speed, getting ready for OTAs and building of course 0:10:40.360 --> 0:10:43.679 to Oxnard in late July. But how much can you 0:10:43.800 --> 0:10:46.280 get out of a camp like this, Isaiah, from a 0:10:46.320 --> 0:10:49.880 players standpoint, from a coaching standpoint, how much can you 0:10:50.000 --> 0:10:52.840 really see and really learn from a rookie mini camp 0:10:52.880 --> 0:10:55.400 when you finally do get to see your your guys 0:10:55.440 --> 0:10:58.040 for the first time. But also it's still very limited. Yeah, 0:10:58.040 --> 0:11:00.320 I believe from a coach's perspective, they just want they 0:11:00.400 --> 0:11:03.120 want to affirm what they've seen on film. They want 0:11:03.160 --> 0:11:05.160 to make sure that their selection or you know, whether 0:11:05.160 --> 0:11:07.120 if they're your draft pick or if you're a free agent. 0:11:07.360 --> 0:11:09.920 You know what they everybody has film. They want to 0:11:09.960 --> 0:11:12.439 affirm that what they saw is true, and they want 0:11:12.440 --> 0:11:14.680 to they want to just see glimpses of it. Oh yeah, okay, cool, 0:11:14.760 --> 0:11:17.280 we made the right decision. From the players standpoint, you 0:11:17.320 --> 0:11:19.240 want to go out there and compete. The coaches are 0:11:19.280 --> 0:11:21.120 going to test you in terms of your your ability 0:11:21.200 --> 0:11:23.559 to be able to absorb information. They're gonna throw a 0:11:23.640 --> 0:11:25.560 lot at you. Really if it's gonna be very simple, 0:11:26.120 --> 0:11:28.439 but maybe not so simple depending on the program that 0:11:28.480 --> 0:11:30.520 you're coming from, and they're gonna want to try to overwhelm. 0:11:30.559 --> 0:11:32.640 You'll see exactly how you handle it. You're in a 0:11:32.679 --> 0:11:35.440 new environment. You're out there trying to compete every play 0:11:35.480 --> 0:11:37.240 because you think that every play is going to be 0:11:37.320 --> 0:11:39.520 the thing that gets you cut. And then then they're 0:11:39.559 --> 0:11:41.480 gonna throw a whole bunch on you mentally and see 0:11:41.480 --> 0:11:45.600 what can you can handle. And then physically physically you're 0:11:45.600 --> 0:11:48.160 gonna be taxed because to rob your rock Pea's point, 0:11:48.280 --> 0:11:51.600 you have been literally training to do tests You've been 0:11:51.640 --> 0:11:53.760 training to push as much weight as you can as 0:11:53.800 --> 0:11:56.400 many times you can. You've been trained to run forty 0:11:56.480 --> 0:11:59.000 yards and stop. You've been trained to jump as high 0:11:59.000 --> 0:12:00.840 as you can. You have I've been training to play 0:12:00.880 --> 0:12:06.040 football because the unfortunately what this NFL has turned into, 0:12:06.360 --> 0:12:09.120 at least as combine, is how how well you can 0:12:09.160 --> 0:12:11.640 do something. That's how that's how much money you're gonna 0:12:11.640 --> 0:12:13.959 make coming out of college. If you if you're you 0:12:14.040 --> 0:12:15.439 might have been a fourth round guy. You go out 0:12:15.440 --> 0:12:16.760 there and run of four two, guess what you are 0:12:16.840 --> 0:12:18.679 now you're a first round guy or a start of 0:12:18.720 --> 0:12:20.920 the top of a second just because you're just because 0:12:20.960 --> 0:12:23.559 you worked so hard on that one aspect. And so 0:12:24.000 --> 0:12:25.680 that's what guys are training for. They're putting a lot 0:12:25.720 --> 0:12:27.199 of emphasis, a lot of weight on that because that's 0:12:27.240 --> 0:12:28.839 what their agents are paying for them to go do. 0:12:29.280 --> 0:12:32.000 Train for the combine, not trained for the league. So heck, 0:12:32.240 --> 0:12:35.040 when you're watching these practices later in the week, are 0:12:35.120 --> 0:12:37.560 you looking for the side the sides? Are you looking 0:12:37.640 --> 0:12:40.839 for the reading ability the first step? Is it that 0:12:40.960 --> 0:12:43.480 kind of stuff it's all football related or does the 0:12:43.559 --> 0:12:45.880 athletics sism kind of play into that? I mean, We 0:12:45.920 --> 0:12:48.600 saw it last year with Michael Parsons during Mini camp 0:12:48.679 --> 0:12:51.120 where it kind of clicked and said, oh, this guy 0:12:51.200 --> 0:12:53.240 can do a little bit more than just playoff ball linebacker. 0:12:53.320 --> 0:12:56.199 You know, Kyle, I really don't for me not being 0:12:56.240 --> 0:12:58.640 able to hear the teaching install portion of it, because 0:12:58.640 --> 0:13:00.559 I realized that's the biggest portion for the for the 0:13:00.640 --> 0:13:03.520 coaches is breaking down the terminology that you were just 0:13:03.640 --> 0:13:05.959 talking about getting guys acclam made it to the NFL 0:13:06.040 --> 0:13:08.240 as far as the knowledge that it's going to take 0:13:08.320 --> 0:13:10.800 to be able to play the position, but you know, 0:13:10.920 --> 0:13:13.480 trying to get guys to unlearn some of that bad habits. 0:13:13.520 --> 0:13:15.120 I don't think you get that until you get a 0:13:15.200 --> 0:13:18.599 guy in full pads that you start to understand what 0:13:18.760 --> 0:13:21.480 he can and can't do. Chris Beam calls it the 0:13:21.559 --> 0:13:25.120 underwear Olympics Olympics in in the OTA period, and I 0:13:25.240 --> 0:13:28.880 agree because now isn't you know it's just all about 0:13:28.920 --> 0:13:32.000 getting these guys mentally ready for what's going to be 0:13:32.080 --> 0:13:34.240 in front of them. But the excitement has to be 0:13:34.360 --> 0:13:36.440 there for once you know you're in full full gear 0:13:36.520 --> 0:13:38.800 and you get an opportunity to see how these guys 0:13:38.880 --> 0:13:41.360 operate because obviously they're going to come in and have 0:13:41.520 --> 0:13:44.280 to unlearn some bad habits from college. I think there's 0:13:44.280 --> 0:13:47.439 a couple couple examples to your point, Like I go 0:13:47.559 --> 0:13:51.559 back to twenty eighteen jahad Ward. Do you guys remember him. Yeah, 0:13:51.600 --> 0:13:53.760 he comes in. He's a free agent that they signed 0:13:53.800 --> 0:13:58.319 from Oakland and Rod Marinelli type interior pass rusher or 0:13:58.520 --> 0:14:02.240 even edge guy up the field. You know, that's what 0:14:02.360 --> 0:14:05.480 they were looking for. He shined in these OTAs in 0:14:05.559 --> 0:14:08.680 mini camp. He was great, and Rod even warned us afterwards. 0:14:08.720 --> 0:14:10.760 He was like, look, let's get let's get the Oxnard, 0:14:10.800 --> 0:14:13.200 let's get the pads on. See what happens. He didn't 0:14:13.240 --> 0:14:15.199 make the team. And I'm not ripping anybody, but I'm 0:14:15.200 --> 0:14:17.600 just saying that to your point, Like, it's hard to tell, 0:14:17.679 --> 0:14:20.040 especially like I'm looking forward to seeing what John Ridgeway 0:14:20.080 --> 0:14:24.040 can bring, like the interior fifth round draft pick defensive tackle. 0:14:24.080 --> 0:14:26.040 They talked him up after the draft, trying to get 0:14:26.080 --> 0:14:29.000 bigger inside stop the run. It's gonna be hard to 0:14:29.080 --> 0:14:32.800 tell until training camps, especially for the big lineman. Like 0:14:32.920 --> 0:14:35.840 I think you can see how guys move around, especially 0:14:35.880 --> 0:14:39.520 if the skill positions or something like this. DB's for 0:14:39.560 --> 0:14:42.160 sure and the Sean writes another example, like he really 0:14:42.200 --> 0:14:45.480 stood out last year and we were like damn yeah 0:14:45.520 --> 0:14:47.320 with the behind the hands and we're like, damn, okay, 0:14:47.880 --> 0:14:49.440 late third round picker, but I was gonna be a 0:14:49.440 --> 0:14:51.240 seventh round pick. This guy could he start? Like we 0:14:51.360 --> 0:14:53.120 kind of wed, we jumped the gun a little bit 0:14:53.160 --> 0:14:55.840 on that, but it turned out like yeah, I mean 0:14:55.920 --> 0:14:57.880 he I looked it up. He had ninety one snaps 0:14:57.920 --> 0:15:00.680 out of eleven fifty something like that defensive defensive snaps 0:15:00.760 --> 0:15:02.440 last year. That being said, he still could turn into 0:15:02.480 --> 0:15:05.240 a nice player and and uh, but again it's you 0:15:05.320 --> 0:15:08.600 can get a little excited um for this first camp 0:15:08.640 --> 0:15:11.120 just because it's football's back. Man, it is back. And 0:15:11.240 --> 0:15:15.080 I remember even seeing like Nason right running backwards, back 0:15:15.120 --> 0:15:18.240 pedaling and then like knocking down a pass on a 0:15:18.320 --> 0:15:20.880 receiver in the back half zone and it's like, oh 0:15:20.960 --> 0:15:24.080 my gosh, like maybe maybe they knew something. And then 0:15:24.160 --> 0:15:27.240 of course they didn't necessarily turn into anything. And you're one. 0:15:27.520 --> 0:15:32.560 But from a from a coaching standpoint, you look at 0:15:33.040 --> 0:15:35.240 this camp and you you look at the way that 0:15:35.360 --> 0:15:39.640 you install these practices. Rob when you're installing this early on, 0:15:40.240 --> 0:15:43.320 Isaiah pointed to it earlier. Are you you throwing everything 0:15:43.400 --> 0:15:45.360 at these rookies. Are you kind of taking it one 0:15:45.600 --> 0:15:47.440 step at a time, one bite at a time, so 0:15:47.560 --> 0:15:51.320 that way they're they're comfortable, but you don't want them 0:15:51.360 --> 0:15:53.280 to be too comfortable. Yeah, I mean, I think I 0:15:53.360 --> 0:15:55.800 think the rookie camp's more of a baseline and some 0:15:55.920 --> 0:15:58.000 of it's some of it's not just on the field teaching, 0:15:58.160 --> 0:16:01.640 like Heck mentioned that, it's also hey, this is how 0:16:01.720 --> 0:16:04.320 we do this is how our schedule works day to day. 0:16:04.360 --> 0:16:05.640 This is the weight room, this is how we're going 0:16:05.720 --> 0:16:08.280 to operate in meetings. Just kind of getting guys their 0:16:08.320 --> 0:16:11.239 feet underneath them. And then once you get to OTAs 0:16:11.760 --> 0:16:13.720 and the Veteran Camp, it's where a lot of the 0:16:13.760 --> 0:16:16.440 installation is to where when you get to get to Oxyard, 0:16:16.680 --> 0:16:18.480 a lot of it's just review. They're not putting in 0:16:18.560 --> 0:16:19.920 a lot of new stuff, but you're trying to get 0:16:19.960 --> 0:16:22.840 these guys just kind of just it's an orientation more 0:16:22.880 --> 0:16:24.960 than anything. And they did a little competitive stuff last year. 0:16:24.960 --> 0:16:28.160 OTAs is as a Ricky though OTA's is almost a breather. 0:16:28.480 --> 0:16:30.840 It's almost a breath of fresh air because Ricky minicamp. 0:16:30.920 --> 0:16:36.840 There's nobody else to sub in and out like it's thin. Right, 0:16:36.880 --> 0:16:38.680 So not only do you have the stress of new 0:16:38.840 --> 0:16:43.440 environment and the classroom and film and install and now 0:16:43.520 --> 0:16:45.160 you're going out there and now you're trying to compete 0:16:45.200 --> 0:16:46.480 as hard as you can because you're trying to put 0:16:46.520 --> 0:16:49.560 your best foot forward. Dog it's hot, all right, we're 0:16:49.560 --> 0:16:51.760 talking about upper nineties. Human, you know, human is all 0:16:51.800 --> 0:16:54.680 get out feeling like a sign outside and then you're 0:16:54.800 --> 0:16:56.760 there's nobody When you look over to the sign, there's 0:16:56.840 --> 0:17:00.280 nobody there. So your text and guess what, Now the 0:17:00.320 --> 0:17:02.560 coaches are really gonna see who they have, because when 0:17:02.600 --> 0:17:04.280 there's nobody the sub and and out for you, when 0:17:04.280 --> 0:17:06.440 you're gassed and you still gotta put your best foot forward, 0:17:07.119 --> 0:17:08.879 you find out real quicken on hurry who you have, 0:17:09.240 --> 0:17:10.600 you know, And we saw it last year, even when 0:17:10.640 --> 0:17:12.480 Mike and Michael was dying, that boy was almost army 0:17:12.520 --> 0:17:14.680 crawling about here, right, he was almost army crawling, and 0:17:14.760 --> 0:17:16.320 he just happened to be one of the best players 0:17:16.320 --> 0:17:19.119 in dogging on league, you know, months later. So it 0:17:19.320 --> 0:17:21.160 is challenging. It doesn't matter who you are, a first 0:17:21.240 --> 0:17:22.920 round pick or if you're a free agent. This is 0:17:22.920 --> 0:17:27.360 an unusual heatwave we've got in North Texas right now. Friday. 0:17:27.720 --> 0:17:29.280 I don't know what they're gonna do Sunday. I don't 0:17:29.280 --> 0:17:30.879 know what the Sunday schedule looks like. But they're going 0:17:30.960 --> 0:17:33.200 to practice Friday and Saturday. HI have ninety three Friday, 0:17:33.280 --> 0:17:36.120 HI have ninety one on Saturday. I got a break 0:17:37.160 --> 0:17:39.560 and heavy in the path. They've gotten rid of the 0:17:39.680 --> 0:17:42.280 team periods though. I think they just do like because 0:17:42.320 --> 0:17:46.080 they're not enough people something. Yeah. Yeah, Now, speaking of 0:17:46.200 --> 0:17:48.040 that of not having enough people, you look at the 0:17:48.359 --> 0:17:51.160 draft class and you look at the undrafted free agents, 0:17:51.240 --> 0:17:53.239 and there's a common theme between the two of them. 0:17:53.800 --> 0:17:56.040 There's no quarterbacks on either one of those lists. And 0:17:56.119 --> 0:17:58.320 it was reported earlier this morning that they'll have a 0:17:58.400 --> 0:18:02.280 couple of cowboy or couple quarterbacks come in to rookie 0:18:02.320 --> 0:18:05.479 Minicamp to on a tryout basis, one of which Nick Starkle, 0:18:05.560 --> 0:18:08.200 who is from Argyle. He was here at Dallas Day, 0:18:08.200 --> 0:18:10.840 went to Argyle Liberty Christian played his high school football there. 0:18:11.000 --> 0:18:13.399 It's now the school where Jason Witten's a head CoA 0:18:13.480 --> 0:18:16.119 chat by the way. Then he went to Texas A 0:18:16.160 --> 0:18:18.520 and m never really found any playing time there. Went 0:18:18.560 --> 0:18:21.400 to San Jose State and then really set the world 0:18:21.480 --> 0:18:24.240 on fire at San Jose State. The other quarterback is 0:18:24.320 --> 0:18:29.280 Terry Wilson. He started his career at New Mexico, then 0:18:29.359 --> 0:18:32.439 transferred or excuse me, at Kentucky, then transferred to New Mexico, 0:18:32.880 --> 0:18:34.800 and he was kind of pitter pattering down the stretch 0:18:34.840 --> 0:18:37.280 with the lobos there, but the couple quarterbacks coming in 0:18:37.359 --> 0:18:39.480 to throw around. But that brings me to my question 0:18:39.520 --> 0:18:41.479 because I know, for me personally, I want to look 0:18:41.520 --> 0:18:43.679 at some of these wide receivers that the Cowboys added 0:18:43.960 --> 0:18:45.920 on the backcat of the depth chart. And we have 0:18:46.000 --> 0:18:49.359 talked about this as well on the show of how 0:18:49.560 --> 0:18:52.240 thin the wide receiver room is without Cedric Wilson, of 0:18:52.280 --> 0:18:54.920 course without Amari Cooper at the top. You added Jalen 0:18:55.000 --> 0:18:57.359 Tolbert in the middle of your draft class, and you 0:18:57.440 --> 0:19:00.720 added James Washington in the free agent class, but really 0:19:00.760 --> 0:19:05.040 you still feel thin from a wide receiver standpoint. They 0:19:05.200 --> 0:19:09.840 bring in four different wide receivers from an undrafted free 0:19:09.880 --> 0:19:13.239 agent standpoint. Ontario Drummond, wide receiver from Old miss who 0:19:13.280 --> 0:19:16.200 they met with at the combine, Jakari Robinson who was very, 0:19:16.320 --> 0:19:19.080 very productive for Wake Forest in twenty twenty. Same can 0:19:19.160 --> 0:19:22.359 be said for ty Frey Folger fry Fogel, who was 0:19:22.440 --> 0:19:25.320 the Big ten wide receiver of the Year for Indiana 0:19:25.400 --> 0:19:29.200 in twenty twenty, and then Dennis Houston from Western Illinois. 0:19:29.640 --> 0:19:31.760 Four wide receivers that I want to see more of, 0:19:31.920 --> 0:19:34.359 along with Jalen Tolbert added into the mix there as 0:19:34.400 --> 0:19:37.760 well from rookie Minicamp. But heckma is wide receiver a 0:19:38.040 --> 0:19:40.680 position where you're gonna have your eyes glued on and 0:19:40.720 --> 0:19:42.879 if there's another one, what would it be? You know, 0:19:43.400 --> 0:19:47.160 they talked at LINT about not being done in free agency, 0:19:47.200 --> 0:19:49.119 and so that's obviously a place where you're gonna have 0:19:49.200 --> 0:19:52.440 to look because you are so thin. But players like 0:19:52.640 --> 0:19:56.119 Jayleen Tilbert and him everything that he comes in with, 0:19:56.320 --> 0:20:00.040 the moxie machigues moo and his I like that. What 0:20:00.200 --> 0:20:04.440 was that? Moxie moxie macheesmo. Yeah, what is that from? 0:20:05.040 --> 0:20:08.159 That's from? That's just as I like that. I like that. 0:20:08.320 --> 0:20:09.800 It just kind of threw me off for a second. 0:20:09.840 --> 0:20:12.800 I had to circle back to it. Cheesemo Cheesemo. I 0:20:12.880 --> 0:20:17.840 like it. You can watch w W none of that 0:20:18.840 --> 0:20:26.480 Razor Cheesemo Cheesemozcheesmo. I like it so. But but my 0:20:26.840 --> 0:20:29.680
