Speaker 3: I'm gonna go ahead and throw the reins to the
Speaker 3: new host with them most you know here what it is,
Speaker 3: Anthony Dorset.
Speaker 4: You know what they say, the more you could do, man,
Speaker 4: you know what I'm saying, You just got to make
Speaker 4: yourself as value as possible, as valuable as possible. So
Speaker 4: you know, I got the call, say Neuie out there
Speaker 4: holding it down for us, So I'm gonna hold it
Speaker 4: down in here for.
Speaker 5: Him for us while we're doing it and how we're
Speaker 5: doing it. So big news though, brit News Tyler, Guidon Tyler.
Speaker 4: Right now, Dodg's a major bullet Doughty towards a cl
Speaker 4: before she for him.
Speaker 5: He got it. Well, it's a bone fracture, you know
Speaker 5: what I mean.
Speaker 4: So now we're looking at a situation where possibly he
Speaker 4: might actually be ready for the first game. I'm saying,
Speaker 4: if everything goes right with recovery, rehab and everything else
Speaker 4: like that.
Speaker 5: So uh, but do out the process of it.
Speaker 4: We got to move some dudes around, right, So right
Speaker 4: now they're gonna give that young boy, Nate Thomas, who
Speaker 4: is second round I'm sorry, second year player, seventh rounder,
Speaker 4: seventh round draft pick from last year.
Speaker 5: He's gonna get starting. Now what y'all think about that?
Speaker 3: All right, Well, you just said you out there knewing
Speaker 3: you and Ox now you you you boots on the
Speaker 3: ground right now, what are you hearing about? You know,
Speaker 3: Nate being the guy that's gonna step in for guiding
Speaker 3: as he deals with this injury. And what are people
Speaker 3: saying about the injury? Does he have a good chance
Speaker 3: of coming back for the game one, Well, let's tell you.
Speaker 6: The first the first game, that's like what you'd like
Speaker 6: to happen. But my gosh, think about it. You want
Speaker 6: your first game to do ahead Eagles?
Speaker 2: No, No, not with that past was the.
Speaker 6: Second week you got the Giants. I mean, hey, brother,
Speaker 6: e's all back into it because it's a long way.
Speaker 6: It's seventeen games. So that's my first thought. Right, So
Speaker 6: they just ram reps with the first team. So Thomas
Speaker 6: was out here at left tackle, and now they got
Speaker 6: Will Greer in here with the second team, and they
Speaker 6: got awesome Richards over here at left tackle. I was
Speaker 6: at the Brian Schottenheim profressor and he said, look, you know,
Speaker 6: we're gonna run run Thomas and Richards out here, and
Speaker 6: we're going to let these guys figure it out. They're
Speaker 6: going to compete. This is their opportunity. And so now
Speaker 6: Dak is back out here again with the starting offensive
Speaker 6: line unit here and right there, baby received, they got
Speaker 6: Thomas right here standing next to Tyler Smith. He's going
Speaker 6: to get his opportunity to see what happened here. But
Speaker 6: you guys know pre season is going, pre season games
Speaker 6: is going to be where we see it. But he's
Speaker 6: gonna get first cracking. I thought you can ask for
Speaker 6: was the opportunity. So I'll be baker to have a
Speaker 6: conversation with him after about you know, what he's his goals,
Speaker 6: what he's trying to do where he's comfortable at. And
Speaker 6: then of course thought to Tyler Smith because Tyler's really
Speaker 6: he's a good truth teller. Remember I talked to you
Speaker 6: guys before about when you talk to a guy, what
Speaker 6: did he say? What does he say? And I know
Speaker 6: how Tyler talks about guys. I'll be very eager to
Speaker 6: see what he's gleaning and seeing from Thomas here at
Speaker 6: this left tackle spot. But guys, I'm worried about it.
Speaker 6: You know I'm worried about it. We were talking before
Speaker 6: about guy and now Titan's co miss some time here
Speaker 6: and uh row.
Speaker 2: Are you question here from me?
Speaker 3: Are you surprised at all that they gave Thomas the
Speaker 3: nod to get with that first team as opposed to
Speaker 3: a guy like awesome Richards, who last year was able
Speaker 3: to fill in and I feel like he played, you know,
Speaker 3: pretty well when he when he filled in for you know,
Speaker 3: the tackles last season. Are you surprised that Thomas got
Speaker 3: the nod to go with the first team or is
Speaker 3: this just a thing where a you know, one day
Speaker 3: it's gonna be Thomas, one day it might be Richards.
Speaker 2: They just kind of a revolving door.
Speaker 6: So I'm gonna believe Shotty at his work where he
Speaker 6: talks about competition and and you know, he learned that
Speaker 6: under Pete care If you ever had Pete Cherroll's book,
Speaker 6: it's called Winning Win Forever, and so a lot of
Speaker 6: that if you ever read that book, a lot of
Speaker 6: what Pete does his philosophy, you see him run. So
Speaker 6: it's camp. We'll see, that's why you throw them out here.
Speaker 6: Was I surprised? Yeah, here's the thing, and you you
Speaker 6: guys know this better than I and I've over the
Speaker 6: years I've had to learn there are things that go
Speaker 6: on in these rooms that we in the media don't
Speaker 6: see and guys there see they know. So a new
Speaker 6: offensive line coach, new coaching staff, new offensive coordinator, who's
Speaker 6: got an offensive line back. Somewhere along the way, they've
Speaker 6: seen something that they like from this kid they drafted
Speaker 6: who didn't play last year. They say, we want to
Speaker 6: see more. Let's get him out here and throw them
Speaker 6: in the deep water. See how he starts swimming. Oh wait,
Speaker 6: I just saw a swing passing my boy el boogie.
Speaker 2: He got a swing past the l boogie. Man, we
Speaker 2: can't even go there.
Speaker 6: All right, man, he gonna make the team, Just so
Speaker 6: you know, Hunter List, he's gonna make past out here
Speaker 6: to the fall back. Yeah, yes, I call that.
Speaker 7: We already talked about that. The HPAC position is going
Speaker 7: to be there. But back to the whole gu situation one.
Speaker 7: I love the segments that you gave us Nui as
Speaker 7: far as talking about that, but I do want to
Speaker 7: echo something that he said, just like we know as players,
Speaker 7: there's always that one guy on the roster where you're like, yo,
Speaker 7: that next year he's going to be that guy, or
Speaker 7: like if he just had an opportunity but they never
Speaker 7: really gave it to him. So I think that speaks
Speaker 7: volumes to him being there on him not playing.
Speaker 8: So I do want to see that with Tom.
Speaker 7: But what I do want to ask you Knuie and
Speaker 7: switch it up a little bit because we've been talking
Speaker 7: about the old lineman and me as a d line
Speaker 7: and I feel some type of way, let's get back
Speaker 7: to this Mazi thing. We've been talking about Mazi so much.
Speaker 7: Everybody's been talking about his body's chained. He's coming in here.
Speaker 7: You have Matt Eberflus with this fourth through wide defense.
Speaker 7: Now that we have boots on the ground, how's it looking?
Speaker 7: Because on the internet, from the cuts that we've seen,
Speaker 7: no shade on him. You know, it's like the coaches
Speaker 7: used to always say, it's never as bad and it's
Speaker 7: never as good. But the one cliff, the cliffs that
Speaker 7: the few clips we've seen, we seen them getting thrown
Speaker 7: out the cliffs.
Speaker 2: No white tea, no white teas is down there?
Speaker 8: Is he looking dominant? Like? What like? Give the fans
Speaker 8: something hopeful? Like what is it like?
Speaker 7: Tell us the whole story about Mazi now that you're
Speaker 7: there and you see him living person.
Speaker 6: Okay, so they are not hitting today, Uh they are,
Speaker 6: They're they're in there. You know in their shells.
Speaker 8: What he said we.
Speaker 6: Shotty told me. He said, were gon hit tomorrow?
Speaker 8: Okay, okay, I got I.
Speaker 6: Got called out at the press conference where you're talking.
Speaker 6: Where are you being?
Speaker 8: Hey, everybody want to know where the Emmy? A war
Speaker 8: wouldn't have been the show.
Speaker 6: Don start till you get there, newly, I said. I said,
Speaker 6: I was the one wait till you started hitting. And he's like, well,
Speaker 6: we're not hitting. We don't hit the day and we
Speaker 6: don't hit the ball. So I got nothing for you
Speaker 6: on money. Okay, I got nothing for your Mazi, but
Speaker 6: I know tomorrow when they start hitting. Because when asked
Speaker 6: about our practices maybe to physically to ease up on it,
Speaker 6: he was like, no, no, we're going to have physical chance.
Speaker 6: And he also went on to say this is football, guys,
Speaker 6: and you all you three know from playing that there's
Speaker 6: nothing you can do that makes that makes.
Speaker 7: You can't simulate those those game those game reps, like
Speaker 7: no matter how much you practice, no matter how you
Speaker 7: how much you're working during the off season, even when
Speaker 7: you're going through the shelves, it's hard to get an
Speaker 7: accurate reading. So I echo those same sentiments that you're saying,
Speaker 7: and I love the way that you switch that, because
Speaker 7: we definitely were going to ask that. I don't know
Speaker 7: if we're going to do it before the break, but
Speaker 7: we definitely wanted to ask about the physicality part of
Speaker 7: it because you have three different generations right here. You
Speaker 7: have me, who's the younger guy out of them. You
Speaker 7: have Burrier this before me, and then you got the
Speaker 7: great a d over here that's seen the old school
Speaker 7: two of days where we're talking about. Really you have
Speaker 7: three practices that long, rigorous one from the mental and
Speaker 7: then the two physical ones. So with that being said,
Speaker 7: we actually wanted to ask you with all these injuries,
Speaker 7: like what is it about the physicality physicality about practice?
Speaker 8: Is it too physical?
Speaker 7: And then like you said, you already answered it. Shotty said,
Speaker 7: we're not backing up. We're bringing this. So him bringing
Speaker 7: that competitive edge and nature I really love. But what
Speaker 7: are you saying in the physicality is a practice?
Speaker 6: You gotta have a philosophy, yes, And I think what
Speaker 6: you have to do is stick with whatever the philosophy is.
Speaker 6: So if you say you're gonna be physical, then you
Speaker 6: got to go because if somebody gets hurt while you're
Speaker 6: doing it. It is what it is. Parcels operated that
Speaker 6: way when he was here training camp, and I agree
Speaker 6: with because what you've got to do and you guys
Speaker 6: played as well. Be consistent. Yes, so sit up here,
Speaker 6: tell me one thing, and well we saw two those
Speaker 6: things happen and two practices, So now we're about to
Speaker 6: abandon everything. He can't do it. This is what it
Speaker 6: is the NFL. Next man up. At some point in
Speaker 6: time over seventeen games, we know dude's gonna get hurt. Man,
Speaker 6: And so it stinks that you saw too offensive lineman
Speaker 6: who's been running with the first team go down, but it.
Speaker 4: Is what it Yeah, now we're looking at what You
Speaker 4: can't really move guys around because you want to get
Speaker 4: the best five guys out there. And as you guys
Speaker 4: have been talking about, this is going to be such.
Speaker 5: A run heavy offense.
Speaker 4: So you don't want to take a guard and move
Speaker 4: him outside to tackle. You don't want to take a
Speaker 4: tackle moviem inside. You want to try to find that
Speaker 4: nucleus of the five best guys that you can get
Speaker 4: out there.
Speaker 5: So, just like you said, they're gonna have to figure
Speaker 5: it out.
Speaker 7: And I love the fact that we're not going to
Speaker 7: play musical chairs with guys. But actually, I lie. I
Speaker 7: don't love the fact that we're not going to play
Speaker 7: musical chairs. If anything, I felt like this is the
Speaker 7: time to play musical chairs with an injury seeing what
Speaker 7: we got, because training camp is a good for the
Speaker 7: bullets don't count right now, like we're doing dry fires.
Speaker 7: But with us doing dry fires, I love what Nui said.
Speaker 7: As far as Shoddy said it, he told y'all, I'm
Speaker 7: not caring with the fans say, I'm not about to
Speaker 7: back off of it because I've been fortunate enough being
Speaker 7: a journeyman going on nine different teams. I've been around
Speaker 7: those guys that say, hey, we believe in our philosophy
Speaker 7: and we're going to keep working it until it starts hitting,
Speaker 7: because this.
Speaker 8: Is what got us here.
Speaker 7: But I've also seen some guys that haven't been so sure.
Speaker 7: And I know in recent past history with the Cowboys,
Speaker 7: especially with our media being the America's team, every time
Speaker 7: that Americas start echoing something, oh, we need to do this,
Speaker 7: we need to do that, I feel like the coach
Speaker 7: gets away from that, and right now Shoddy is shown y'all,
Speaker 7: I don't care what the injury is not being there.
Speaker 7: I don't care what the starter's not being here. We're
Speaker 7: still going to practice hard at whoever survives, those are
Speaker 7: going to be my tough dogs and be out there.
Speaker 8: So I love this philosophy.
Speaker 3: All right, so far, well new we You know, we
Speaker 3: talked about the trenches and you know they're not in
Speaker 3: past and not popping out.
Speaker 2: There anything like that. So all right, we get that.
Speaker 3: Let me talk to more about the skill position on
Speaker 3: the outside. What have you seen since you know you've
Speaker 3: been down there in Oxnar. What has Dak Prescott and
Speaker 3: his connection with CD Lamb or his connection with his
Speaker 3: new weapon George Pickens and the newly signed, the newly
Speaker 3: signed big money target out there at tight end? What
Speaker 3: have you seen from this passing attack and the timing
Speaker 3: with those individuals with Dak Prescott.
Speaker 6: Okay, so yesterday they didn't practice, so there was no
Speaker 6: practice yesterday and they just started now, so I'm just
Speaker 6: starting to see glimpses. They went through the drills with
Speaker 6: the three quarterbacks and working on end zone routes here
Speaker 6: and you know, picking Lamb snack balls. I'll tell you
Speaker 6: a guy who snacked the ball and I was like
Speaker 6: oh okay, okay. Uh the boy they traded for from
Speaker 6: Carolina Ingo Mingo, Yes, yes, yes, yes, well boy shopped
Speaker 6: the Mingo Mingo. I'm like, oh okay. Tolbert had a
Speaker 6: nice little pass in the end zone. So so once again, man,
Speaker 6: dudes are in shells, you know, ain't no DB's covering them.
Speaker 6: So they're looking good. That's why tomorrow for me, tomorrow
Speaker 6: is going to be one more test because now we're
Speaker 6: going to have guys and you understand it from playing
Speaker 6: now we've seen people go down and get hurt. Yeah,
Speaker 6: now we know it's going to be physical and that
Speaker 6: Shoddy is going to go by what he says in
Speaker 6: terms of we are going to compete. So let's see
Speaker 6: what a guy like me. Now that I'm here, I'm like, okay,
Speaker 6: what is Mingo doing. Pickens clearly is going down the
Speaker 6: road of what they want him to be. But seventeen games,
Speaker 6: you're going to meet a Mingo jef up. Oh yeah,
Speaker 6: man shot shot. He had praise for Tobert, by the
Speaker 6: way to that at the press conference, he had praise
Speaker 6: for him. He likes what he's doing. But Mingo's gonna
Speaker 6: be a guy, and I think he's in the perfect
Speaker 6: spot because of Pickens, we've almost forgotten about it that
Speaker 6: he can operate underneath, and that is where I think
Speaker 6: he has an opportunity to show us something because if
Speaker 6: he has to get called in the duty, let's see
Speaker 6: what he can do. Because at some point times you
Speaker 6: guys played no your number gonna get called?
Speaker 8: Oh yeah, yeah yeah.
Speaker 7: And even thinking about Shoty's time back to New York
Speaker 7: when you're talking about him, I'm glad you brought that
Speaker 7: up because with these most powerful offense guys, y'all think
Speaker 7: about it.
Speaker 8: When he was in Seattle, you had.
Speaker 7: A guy like Doug Baldwin, Tyler Lockett that were your
Speaker 7: one two punches, and then you have coming up Javon k.
Speaker 7: People don't realize that he was that unsung hero where
Speaker 7: it's like, oh, you focused on him.
Speaker 8: So I'm glad to hear that we have that three
Speaker 8: man going.
Speaker 7: But I'm gonna stay right there on the offensive side,
Speaker 7: because you know you can't see defense right now with
Speaker 7: everything that's going. But Nuly, I know you can't say
Speaker 7: too much because you haven't seen that much of practice.
Speaker 8: But I want you to think about this, and.
Speaker 7: If you don't have an answer, directly for me right now,
Speaker 7: be ready for it on Friday. But we talked about receivers,
Speaker 7: we talked about the tight ends, we talked about the
Speaker 7: old lineman. Let's get back to this running back talk. Man,
Speaker 7: I need to know who's out there, who's starting, Who's
Speaker 7: number one?
Speaker 8: Number two? Are there clear cut like?
Speaker 7: Because I think that's gonna be the X factor that
Speaker 7: takes our offense onto the top. So who's your guy
Speaker 7: and running back? Who's leading it? And is it going
Speaker 7: to be a Superman situation? And then you have a
Speaker 7: lesser hero that's over there a are you gonna have
Speaker 7: like Batman and Superman? Like a one to two punch
Speaker 7: combo that we have in Cdee Lamb and George Pickens.
Speaker 6: Go back to what I talked about. You know what
Speaker 6: questions people are asking and what is the coach saying.
Speaker 6: There was not one question asked today from the media
Speaker 6: about a running back, not one, not one, not one
Speaker 6: man not What the most we got was tripping getting
Speaker 6: some handoff and how shotty were you?
Speaker 7: And hey, knew it, I know, I know you about
Speaker 7: to give us a break since we didn't have no
Speaker 7: details and nobody talked about the running backs and you're
Speaker 7: going to be the first one that give us that
Speaker 7: great insight on that running back.
Speaker 8: Can you save that.
Speaker 7: For us when we come back out the break, because
Speaker 7: they're giving us that a whole long way.
Speaker 6: Keys the keys we come back.
Speaker 5: To keep us in.

Speaker 6: he was looking towards litty litty cover book covers right there.
Speaker 5: Hey man, this sounds like a defensive drill right here.
Speaker 6: That's going that's top yard line. Hurry up, offense. Dak
Speaker 6: Prescott under center, he's looking sowing to the corner of
Speaker 6: fade right there and at the seade Lamb touchdown tack.
Speaker 2: Looks like they're going back and forth out there. That's
Speaker 2: what we love to see out in camp.
Speaker 6: Jack hurrying up the unit one more time. Looks like
Speaker 6: the ball is at.
Speaker 7: The I think I think, I think one in a
Speaker 7: half yard line, trying to show us the second part
Speaker 7: of the field. Guys, we might have to go ahead
Speaker 7: and break this off and let him.
Speaker 6: Get to it so we can have the defense in here.
Speaker 6: Right now. You got saying Williams Solomon Thomas up here
Speaker 6: on the defensive line as a rocker on the other
Speaker 6: side of the defensive end, ninety seven in the middle. There,
Speaker 6: Jack Prescott still at quarterback, Miles Sanders in the backfield,
Speaker 6: got a bunch set over here to the right, there's
Speaker 6: Ferguson next to the tight end. You've got Tobered in
Speaker 6: the slot with Ceede Lamb one on one with E.
Speaker 6: Look now they put him in motion to the other
Speaker 6: side and Jack goes right back into the end zone.
Speaker 6: He find George Pickings for the touchdown.
Speaker 8: Man.
Speaker 6: That's an offense looking good right now. On these last
Speaker 6: two plays for the defense, morning hell, they're on with
Speaker 6: a Marshawn Kneeling interception in this one, and we got
Speaker 6: Ferguson as a Rocco having a little uh touch and
Speaker 6: go here. So the first team unit is off for
Speaker 6: the offense. Now they've got Joe Milton back here starting
Speaker 6: the ball on the fifteen yard line here as they're
Speaker 6: working on red zone drills right here.
Speaker 2: Fellas, all right, dude, appreciate the grounds on the booths.
Speaker 8: Man.
Speaker 2: We're gonna let you go. We're gonna let you.
Speaker 3: Get your evaluation on of this team, of the first
Speaker 3: and second team, and we'll hoighland you Friday with an
Speaker 3: update on how these guys have been doing out there.
Speaker 3: I'm interested to see how the trenches fair and how
Speaker 3: Dak Prescott in his communication with these outside receivers will look.
Speaker 2: We'll holll at you back on Friday, all right, pick dogs.
Speaker 6: All right, fellas, all right, all right, land hey man, So.
Speaker 4: Hearing all that and seeing that they just scored, you know,
Speaker 4: two different plays. But we also got to talk about
Speaker 4: that interception now, and that leads me into the whole
Speaker 4: thing about signing new dude in the secondary. Yes, r
Speaker 4: Les Tos just signed I believe what's his name, Christian Matthew.
Speaker 5: You said he was in Arizona.
Speaker 3: Former seventh round draft pick twenty twenty two from Arizona. Yeah,
Speaker 3: it looks like the Cowboys had just signed him after
Speaker 3: working him out after Kaitlin Carson had went down with
Speaker 3: an injury, and you hate to see that, you know,
Speaker 3: because Carson was a guy that came along last year
Speaker 3: when injuries kind of reared their ugly head once again.
Speaker 3: With Diggs, he was able to fill in. And you know,
Speaker 3: he got hurt a little bit last year as well.
Speaker 2: I believe he missed six or seven games last year
Speaker 2: as well.
Speaker 3: But this is a guy that the Cowboys have have
Speaker 3: high hopes on as a guy that can fill in
Speaker 3: him kind of be that third corner once everybody's healthy,
Speaker 3: once Diggs is there, once bland is there, Carson can
Speaker 3: kind of be that third guy. That's what they're looking
Speaker 3: toward to see him. But with that hyper extended knee,
Speaker 3: you know, wordland Street is that he's gonna miss a
Speaker 3: you know, maybe a month, maybe even more than that.
Speaker 3: So he's on that same kind of timeline as guiding
Speaker 3: This should be back for the first game, but we
Speaker 3: shall see. But fellas, when we talk about this and
Speaker 3: the depth at the cornerback position, won I want to
Speaker 3: see you know, you got thoughts on how that affects
Speaker 3: the room as a whole. Seeing is that it's a
Speaker 3: thin room as is with you know, with Josh Butler
Speaker 3: and Diggs being on pup so it's thin as is,
Speaker 3: but also when you were a young guy like that,
Speaker 3: he's only in his second year, I believe you're gonna
Speaker 3: miss a lot.
Speaker 2: Of camp, a lot of reps.
Speaker 3: I mean, you're gonna go into the regular season, you can,
Speaker 3: You're gonna be fresh, but you're also gonna be like, man,
Speaker 3: you know, new defensive system. You know, how does that
Speaker 3: affect the secondary as a whole in the depth there?
Speaker 2: I mean, that's got to be a huge loss for
Speaker 2: the boys, you know.
Speaker 4: I learned early on in my rookie year. Unfortunately I
Speaker 4: sustained the injury in my rookie year. It wasn't during camp,
Speaker 4: it was actually during the season, and it was like
Speaker 4: right around the time I was actually gonna get one
Speaker 4: of my first starts that year and get hurt in
Speaker 4: the game and had to sit there throughout those weeks
Speaker 4: while I was actually trying to get back and watch
Speaker 4: dudes come in every Tuesday, every Monday, working out to
Speaker 4: take my job flat out. That's all it is, you
Speaker 4: know what I'm saying. So in that frame of mind,
Speaker 4: being a young guy or just a first year dude
Speaker 4: on the team as on top of that as well,
Speaker 4: Oh man, the stress level is on one hundred and
Speaker 4: fifty all right, and then you're dealing with the injury.
Speaker 4: You already want to make sure that you hopefully have
Speaker 4: a possibility of making the team, you know what I mean.
Speaker 4: So with the secondary being so thin right now, it's
Speaker 4: going to be a lot of transition like this, Like
Speaker 4: I'm sure Christian Matthew won't be the last guy to
Speaker 4: get signed before training camp is over.
Speaker 7: Man, And I can't speak on it from the secondary perspective,
Speaker 7: but I can't speak on it from the journeyman's perspective.
Speaker 7: Like going in there being a third round pick. I
Speaker 7: didn't have to worry about that earlier in my career
Speaker 7: going into training camp, like I was like, oh man,
Speaker 7: this is football, the hard parts over it. You're doing
Speaker 7: with the combine and stuff like that, And shout out
Speaker 7: to my boy Charles.
Speaker 8: James that played had a long tenure career.
Speaker 7: Charles was undrafted and so literally every Tuesday, Charles used
Speaker 7: to be in their first one in there telling me, hey,
Speaker 7: did you see this guy working out ad because you
Speaker 7: know we just had three dns try out. Oh I'm
Speaker 7: not worried about that, bro, I'm kicking it with the vests,
Speaker 7: doing this and then. And it wasn't until later on
Speaker 7: in my career when I was a cussing the bubble
Speaker 7: guy that I started playing attention to that. Not only
Speaker 7: am I paying attention to the guys that's coming in
Speaker 7: on Tuesday there's practicing here, I'm also paying attention to
Speaker 7: this waiver wire who's practicing somewhere else, who got released
Speaker 7: over there, because there might be somebody that is a
Speaker 7: proven veteran that gets released over there and like you said,
Speaker 7: a dB go down right now, then you bring him
Speaker 7: in and now he gets seniority over you. So to
Speaker 7: have that in the back of your mind, it's a
Speaker 7: tough feeling because you're wondering, like, hey, when I do
Speaker 7: get want to come back, is there going to be
Speaker 7: an opportunity for me, Because some of these guys come
Speaker 7: back with opportunities. Everybody's not a tray Varon Diggs or
Speaker 7: Michael Parson who says, hey, this is going to be
Speaker 7: entitled to you. So my question is more so, like,
Speaker 7: I know this guy got hurt. I know we were
Speaker 7: expecting him to either be starting or be our number
Speaker 7: three guy, but in a secondary that is already injured,
Speaker 7: that's not really proven like that, has he done enough
Speaker 7: to really earn a spot because if one of these
Speaker 7: young guys come in keep making plays, Elon gets out
Speaker 7: there whenever you do get the draft pick back that
Speaker 7: that's coming off the puppet, Like some of those spots
Speaker 7: are already guaranteed. So my question is, hey, man, you
Speaker 7: can't make the team in the Kolto.
Speaker 8: So how solidified is he?
Speaker 7: Is he solidified enough to say like, hey, I don't
Speaker 7: have to be here for preseason.
Speaker 3: I would have say I would say in any other
Speaker 3: any other year, any other season, let's just say you know,
Speaker 3: Digs is healthy, Butler's healthy, Bland and everybody's rolling. Then
Speaker 3: I say, a young fella, you better get back out
Speaker 3: there because it is about to get real. But when
Speaker 3: you look at this secondary as a whole, it's so
Speaker 3: thin right now. I mean when you look at it
Speaker 3: and unproven. There's only three three starters out there right now.
Speaker 3: You got Bland, who's coming off of an injury from
Speaker 3: last year, and then you got the two safeties all right,
Speaker 3: you got you got Donovan out there, and then you
Speaker 3: got Malik Hooker.
Speaker 2: He got those guys out there.
Speaker 3: So those are only three solidified starters that are actually
Speaker 3: out there rolling right now. I know when Daz gets
Speaker 3: back and healthy, and from the film we can see
Speaker 3: of him out at training camp, he looks like he's
Speaker 3: moving well.
Speaker 2: So maybe that time spent in Miami was just about it.
Speaker 2: I don't know. We will see when he gets back.
Speaker 3: But when you look at it as a whole, any
Speaker 3: other year, I would say, young fella, get back. But
Speaker 3: to me right now, I'm like, look, man, you gotta.
Speaker 2: Get healthy first.
Speaker 3: You gotta get healthy first, because you don't want to
Speaker 3: go out there and put bad tape out there.
Speaker 2: You just don't want to.
Speaker 3: Do it or give guys an opportunity to say, hey man,
Speaker 3: maybe you know, maybe this guy doesn't have it. Maybe
Speaker 3: doesn't have it, So we will see, you know, what
Speaker 3: he has coming back when he gets back from this injury.
Speaker 3: But as I want you to speak on this a
Speaker 3: little bit too, AD is how how does this unit geil?
Speaker 3: And do you can tell you can speak on it
Speaker 3: as well being a part of a D line unit,
Speaker 3: But how does this unit jail when only three the
Speaker 3: guys that are projected starters are playing throughout the entire camp.
Speaker 4: You know, for me, it goes to say, like when
Speaker 4: you're developing identity, Yeah right, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 4: So the whole defense is developing identity right now. But
Speaker 4: there's going to be identity in each room, you know
Speaker 4: what I'm saying. So whoever that leader is going to be,
Speaker 4: and we talked about, you know, the veteran leadership and
Speaker 4: the older guys being in that room, and so you
Speaker 4: have to like basically be able to say, Okay, this
Speaker 4: is the type of defense we're going to play, this
Speaker 4: is type of secondary we're going to be.
Speaker 5: We're gonna hold each other.
Speaker 4: Accountable to these standards, regardless of who's out there. And
Speaker 4: so that way, when that next man comes around, or
Speaker 4: that person gets healthy, or whoever size that comes in,
Speaker 4: this is what we're looking for from you, and this
Speaker 4: is what it's expected from you. And there's no other
Speaker 4: way to do that but to hold everybody accountable day
Speaker 4: by day.
Speaker 8: And I think not just only holding it accountable.
Speaker 7: From a D line's perspective, you know how it is
Speaker 7: like it becomes war of two teams offense, one time
Speaker 7: defense one time during training camp, Well, this is where
Speaker 7: the vets get the chance to know of the younger guys.
Speaker 7: I made the joke or I made the reference earlier
Speaker 7: that Shotty comes from Pete Carroll, a competition breeding coach.
Speaker 7: So with him bringing in that competition, you're gonna know, Hey,
Speaker 7: this young guy, he got some snap to him. Now
Speaker 7: does he actually have skill to him? Hey, I want
Speaker 7: to see what this guy guy. Everybody y'all know is veteran.
Speaker 7: We all find that one young rookie that wed naturally
Speaker 7: get attached to that.
Speaker 8: We want them to get the opportunity, want them to
Speaker 8: embrace it.
Speaker 7: So when you say how do they jail, Well, they're
Speaker 7: already jailing right now. They're jaeling with doing trash can basketball.
Speaker 7: They're jailing with doing four square, they're jeling with making
Speaker 7: the rookie you go get the snack? Who got my snacks? Okay,
Speaker 7: you can follow directions that follow all this to the
Speaker 7: t because some of that list is ridiculous. But if
Speaker 7: you can do that, something is simple and meticulous. And
Speaker 7: think about that right now during training camp. Football is
Speaker 7: gonna come with it, But it's about building that trust
Speaker 7: off the field to where you say, when somebody gets hurt,
Speaker 7: you got a veteran over.
Speaker 8: There, like Barry Church. Hey, coach, throw young Buck over there. Man.
Speaker 7: He's a good rookie, he's dependable, he does everything for us,
Speaker 7: and he's in our playbook. That's where the jail is
Speaker 7: gonna come. Not so much on the field, like you're
Speaker 7: gonna jail with players and stuff like that, but get
Speaker 7: that extra cohesives what they say, that extra.
Speaker 8: Sprinkling stuff right there.
Speaker 7: So that's how I think that they're gonna jail, or
Speaker 7: at least from the D line where we used to
Speaker 7: be back and say, hey, we got some.
Speaker 8: Dogs back there. We're ready to hunt.
Speaker 7: He's doing all this, but not only is he doing this,
Speaker 7: you have that young guy because your secondary is just
Speaker 7: as smart as your linebacker. Your secondary needs to know
Speaker 7: what the D lineman so they can say, hey, allways,
Speaker 7: gonna come out quick so we can catch this pick.
Speaker 7: And when you got a young guy coming over there saying, hey,
Speaker 7: d more, when you blitz coming outside in, are you
Speaker 7: gonna take two steps up and then do that? Well, okay,
Speaker 7: if you hold them just a little bit here, I'm
Speaker 7: gonna do that. And that lets me know, like, oh snap,
Speaker 7: he's been thinking and doing his stuff. So that's how
Speaker 7: all that cohesis and is about to happen right now.
Speaker 2: All right, Well, like AD said, man, we're gonna have
Speaker 2: to pay some bills. I mean, because I ain't saying
Speaker 2: I ain't come out of pockets for this. So we're gonna,
Speaker 2: I don't know, just like I got get on. So
Speaker 2: we're gonna have to pay some bills.
Speaker 3: But when we get back, man, I want to talk
Speaker 3: to you about the difference between because we've been in
Speaker 3: all of them, and we've been in all types of camps,
Speaker 3: the hardcore, physical, just dirty camps versus the more the
Speaker 3: more player friendly camp. And we tapped into a little
Speaker 3: bit in segment one, but Louis, but I want to
Speaker 3: hear your thoughts on that. Once again, ladies and gentlemen,

Speaker 4: It's the Players, Loundes, Welcome back to the players downs
Speaker 4: at the SWVC studios at podcast studio out here in Frisco.
Speaker 4: You got your boy Anthony dor Sat, we got Big
Speaker 4: Trade Moore Man, Barry Church just hold it down out
Speaker 4: there and Ox Starr from the training camp. All right, fellas,
Speaker 4: so let's let's talk about this a little bit. It's
Speaker 4: been talked about, It's been mentioned by several people. Coach
Speaker 4: Coach Shotty said it before, and we just basically running
Speaker 4: with what he said. It's gonna be a physical camp,
Speaker 4: all right. You're seeing the injuries on the O line
Speaker 4: and other places and everything else like that. So I've
Speaker 4: been a part of physical camps. I've been a part
Speaker 4: of camp set where I guess you could say I've
Speaker 4: never had a light camp. Under Jeff Fisher, we hit
Speaker 4: all the time, right And then a quick story going
Speaker 4: into my free agent year, I was visiting teams and
Speaker 4: everything else like that, and so of course you call around.
Speaker 4: You want to try to find out how the team
Speaker 4: is run from the inside. So one of the Dolphins
Speaker 4: was a team that I was actually interested in. Me
Speaker 4: and Dave want said, coach Wantsatt shout out to coach
Speaker 4: Wantsat used to call me at the house at ten
Speaker 4: o'clock at night and just want to know what you're thinking. Well,
Speaker 4: how I got to my thought process was I made
Speaker 4: some phone calls, called Zak Thomas, Hall of Famer, called
Speaker 4: Sam Madison, a few other dudes I knew on the team,
Speaker 4: just to try to find out, like what's going on
Speaker 4: out there. And from the guys on the team, they
Speaker 4: was like, hey, don't do it.
Speaker 2: You don't want no part, don't want no part.
Speaker 4: There was letting you know from the inside like hey,
Speaker 4: we do it, but we don't even want to do
Speaker 4: it like this.
Speaker 5: It's a little bit too extreme, you know.
Speaker 4: And so guys, we know, you know like this, this
Speaker 4: this thing is about adding longevity onto our careers, not
Speaker 4: cutting them short, you know what I mean. So anytime
Speaker 4: that you actually get a chance to save yourself a
Speaker 4: little bit, and that's also called making a business decision,
Speaker 4: to a certain extent, you know what I mean.
Speaker 5: You got to be smart with it, you know. And
Speaker 5: so how do you feel about that?
Speaker 8: Well?
Speaker 3: When I when I you know, going through my teamure
Speaker 3: in the National Football League, like I said, I've been
Speaker 3: a part of all I've been a part of, you know,
Speaker 3: the way phillips out out of the way where you
Speaker 3: know it was a player friendly camp. I'm talking about, Hey,
Speaker 3: you know what, guys, just sweating a little bit too much.
Speaker 2: Take the pads off. Just take the pads off.
Speaker 3: We're gonna walk through this next segment, which I loved personally,
Speaker 3: and I'm sure everybody on that team loved his mindset
Speaker 3: going into camp and high it was more player friendly
Speaker 3: and longevity and all that.
Speaker 2: But unfortunately with.
Speaker 3: Those camps I was part of, you know, the worst
Speaker 3: teams I've been a part of as far as record wise,
Speaker 3: and then I've been in camps we're kind of they're
Speaker 3: in between the Jason Garrett camps where man, you had
Speaker 3: stretches where it.
Speaker 2: Was like, man, we got pads again. You know, we
Speaker 2: got pads again. Now we just did it. We got
Speaker 2: pads again.
Speaker 8: And what's the schedule? Looking life, you.
Speaker 5: Already know what it is.
Speaker 3: And I said, I've been a part of that where
Speaker 3: he was kind of in the middle, like you had
Speaker 3: your hard stretches, but then you also had those stretches
Speaker 3: where you know he took care of you. You know, let's
Speaker 3: let's go all go to the movies after this, let's go,
Speaker 3: you know, hang out at the beach for a little bit.
Speaker 2: And those teams, I would say had mixed results. You know,
Speaker 2: they were something was.
Speaker 3: Good, you know seasons and other seasons we were you know,
Speaker 3: eight and eight and didn't make the playoffs. But then
Speaker 3: when you talk about just pads hitting Florida Sun, just
Speaker 3: man losing twenty.
Speaker 2: Pounds, and that's the Jacksonville camps, all right.
Speaker 3: And those were under Doug Maroon where he didn't believe
Speaker 3: in in no pads, Like if we're on a football field,
Speaker 3: you got to have some type of pads on.
Speaker 8: But enough money to keep you cool.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know they did have that. But we were
Speaker 2: out there.
Speaker 3: We was banging every day, and I'm like, man, we
Speaker 3: need a break. I mean, I'm already in year eight
Speaker 3: at this point and I'm like, man, we was going on.
Speaker 3: But that's a team that I went furthest with. We
Speaker 3: went to the AFC championship. We were durable out there.
Speaker 3: So to me, you know, it's all results and it
Speaker 3: comes down to the team as a whole. But if
Speaker 3: you're asking me personally, man, I go with them way
Speaker 3: Phillips camps each and every day.
Speaker 8: Of course you go.
Speaker 7: Like, you don't what they say, you don't know what
Speaker 7: you got it till you got it. Like being a
Speaker 7: rookie coming in from college and doing all those hard
Speaker 7: training camps and stuff like that, you work harder when
Speaker 7: it's easy.
Speaker 8: When you get there, you're like, hey, this ain't that.
Speaker 8: It's bad. I walked.
Speaker 7: I remember going in. Tom Coughlan was my head coach,
Speaker 7: So you know we're gonna go. We're gonna hit the
Speaker 7: grind five minutes early. You better coffin. Time will get you.
Speaker 7: And he believed in hitting. He believed like, how do
Speaker 7: you get used, How do you get comfortable? And the
Speaker 7: only way you get comfortable is being there in your pads.
Speaker 7: So what having guys like that, Having guys like Pete Carroll,
Speaker 7: who was definitely player friendly but also in those same
Speaker 7: regards as being player friendly. He sat there and said, hey,
Speaker 7: we're gonna take the pads off this period. But when
Speaker 7: we put the pads on. It was a certain standard
Speaker 7: that was already established by leader Bobby Wadninger was coming
Speaker 7: down there saying, hey, they don't get nothing. You got
Speaker 7: Richard Sherman over there at corner and saying, don't nobody
Speaker 7: catch nothing. Then you got big Bam Bamd Cam Chancellor
Speaker 7: back there saying, hey, it's lockdown and you're out there.
Speaker 8: The players put the own inticity on it to where
Speaker 8: Pete had to say, hey, I got too many dogs.
Speaker 8: Let me protect y'all from y'allself.
Speaker 7: And so getting back to it not being too long winded,
Speaker 7: I've been in power the hard camps, long camp, easy camps,
Speaker 7: player camps. I think it more so gets to what
Speaker 7: type of team do you have. Do you have a
Speaker 7: young team or do you have an older team?
Speaker 8: Because those older.
Speaker 7: Veteran teams, like you said, I could take away Phillis Campbell.
Speaker 7: Guess what, because you've been in the league and you've
Speaker 7: been able.
Speaker 5: To stitit there, Like if you're young, you can't.
Speaker 7: It's like giving a young guy when you first get
Speaker 7: older and you get to college and you ain't got
Speaker 7: no curfew and this and that, and like you give
Speaker 7: that person that responsibility. Can they handle this responsibility? And
Speaker 7: if you can handle that responsibility, definitely have that. But
Speaker 7: with having a young team, guys that aren't proven, some
Speaker 7: of y'all guys are gonna have to realize that it
Speaker 7: comes down there and we got a bang on top
Speaker 7: of that. I don't want the first time me being
Speaker 7: improven vet. I don't want my first time of us
Speaker 7: getting the chance to go to war is during the season,
Speaker 7: because I don't know if you got my back and
Speaker 7: we out here fighting in the fight. I know who
Speaker 7: I'm scrapping with, so norm with who I'm scrapping with.
Speaker 7: I believe you need to have the right amount of hitting,
Speaker 7: but it also depends on your team. So right now,
Speaker 7: with Shoddy and what he's doing, being around the lineage
Speaker 7: of coaches and the plethora of knowledge he has, I
Speaker 7: trust him in the way that he's gonna do that
Speaker 7: because he's seen the old school era, he's seen the
Speaker 7: player friendly era with Pete Carroll, and now that he's
Speaker 7: doing it his way, let's let him ride out his way.
Speaker 7: And I think with an unproven team like this, you're
Speaker 7: gonna have to bang. So don't be scared.
Speaker 3: You got to You got to hit this way because
Speaker 3: when when you look at it, there's too many guys
Speaker 3: that are.
Speaker 2: Gonna be first year starters.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you you gotta understand it because like when you
Speaker 3: go out there, you're gonna have guys in this system
Speaker 3: at the second level, linebacker level that haven't haven't played
Speaker 3: together at all. I mean, you got you got morris
Speaker 3: Leyafou he's a second year player, but he's gonna be
Speaker 3: tagged with you know, maybe Kenneth Murray, whos just came here,
Speaker 3: you know, be a free agency You gotta we just
Speaker 3: talked about the secondary jelling as you didn't how they
Speaker 3: got to know each others, strengthen weaknesses, and of course
Speaker 3: the offensive line. I mean we got to see where
Speaker 3: they all fit. So how much on that one man?
Speaker 3: You gotta understand it.
Speaker 4: I will say this, and one thing that is not
Speaker 4: talked about enough and and tackling is actually an art.
Speaker 5: It is and so and so going back to what you.
Speaker 4: Said a little bit ago, as far as when you're
Speaker 4: in those camps or you're in those practices and you're
Speaker 4: not physical, and then of course when the game time comes,
Speaker 4: it's physical. To the umpteenth in the hundred level and
Speaker 4: so like, if you're actually not practicing tackling and getting
Speaker 4: your fits, then it always shows up on game time.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're right, So you're.
Speaker 5: Going to just like you guys said, you're going to
Speaker 5: have to get some banging in there.
Speaker 7: So that leads me to my next question, which is
Speaker 7: our last question before we break out this show. With
Speaker 7: the physicality that we have that's going on in the dynamics,
Speaker 7: we see injuries, we see opportunities that are coming up.
Speaker 7: Who I know, we say every game, if it's changed,
Speaker 7: let us know who is the guy that you're most
Speaker 7: excited to see and hear about now that this opportunity
Speaker 7: is going to be there with this physicality of camp.
Speaker 8: And have your guy in mind.
Speaker 7: So when we ask newly on Friday, so who's that
Speaker 7: guy for you in training camp?
Speaker 8: Yeah?
Speaker 4: Well for me right now, I'm gonna stick to the
Speaker 4: run game. Because we've heard so much about every other
Speaker 4: position from injuries to guys getting signed and everything else
Speaker 4: like that, there has not been that one key running
Speaker 4: back that I've heard about stand up, I mean. And
Speaker 4: so for me growing up as a Cowboy fan, just
Speaker 4: Cowboys tradition, there's always been some great running backs.
Speaker 2: Here INMS Smith Mark Barber list goes old to those.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 4: So for me, Cowboys has always been synonymous with a
Speaker 4: good running game. So I'm interested to find out who's
Speaker 4: going to be that main running back.
Speaker 2: Who's going to be a building for me.
Speaker 3: You know, we talked about it a lot earlier, and
Speaker 3: when you talk about Mozzie Smith and what he can
Speaker 3: do to defend the run game, and hopefully he's able
Speaker 3: to step that up. So I'm not gonna get too
Speaker 3: much on Mazzie Smith, but my guy to look forward
Speaker 3: to this preseason has got to be two guys, and
Speaker 3: those are both.
Speaker 2: Of the linebackers.
Speaker 3: I'm talking about the young Morris lea Files second year
Speaker 3: player linebackers. I believe he was drafted in the fifth
Speaker 3: or sixth round LABS year. And a guy we got
Speaker 3: in free agency Murray, who's you know, Kenneth Murray. He's
Speaker 3: also been around the league. I believe this is year
Speaker 3: eight or nine for him. Big long rangey guy, fast speed,
Speaker 3: everything that Iberfus loves in his second unit.
Speaker 2: But those guys are gonna have to be the quarterbacks
Speaker 2: of the defense.
Speaker 3: We all understand when it comes to Eberflus's defense, you
Speaker 3: got to have that second level guy that can make
Speaker 3: sure he can communicate to the front level and the
Speaker 3: back level and pretty much run his defense. So I
Speaker 3: want to see what those two guys got throughout camp
Speaker 3: in the preseason.
Speaker 2: But it should be interesting to watch for me.
Speaker 7: My two guys are gonna be h the second round
Speaker 7: pick help me.
Speaker 2: Out as Araku as Araku, let me.
Speaker 8: Not mess that up.
Speaker 7: As Newly, what's to say if he was here, he
Speaker 7: probably threw up his Q dog hooks, but it would
Speaker 7: be as a Roku and Pace Turner, the guy that
Speaker 7: he just said for me being a D lineman playing
Speaker 7: in Eberflu from my tenure not only just here at
Speaker 7: the Cowboys, but also at the coach I was with him,
Speaker 7: everything is driven off of the D lineman. I know
Speaker 7: people say, hey, Leonard Shaq Lennard got the credit when
Speaker 7: he was over there. You had Sean Lee getting the
Speaker 7: credit over here, But it always starts with the front
Speaker 7: rod many Nelly had the defensive line penetrating, and so yes,
Speaker 7: we know who we have and Michael Parson and he's
Speaker 7: going to be a top defensive lineman. Who's going to
Speaker 7: be the other guy over there that's going to answer
Speaker 7: the call. We got pass going on now. So now
Speaker 7: that we get to see what's going on those two
Speaker 7: d linemen, I need to know because you got to
Speaker 7: have two booking defensive ends in this defense and the
Speaker 7: Ebra Flues defense. So man, I'm ready to watch them.
Speaker 7: So we'll see you on Friday.
Speaker 3: Mine.
Speaker 2: You know what's not surprising what he chose the defensive line.
Speaker 3: All right, y'all, thank you for watching the players man,
Speaker 3: we appreciate it.
Speaker 2: We will see you guys Fridays.
Speaker 3: This is the Players Lines, brought to you by Aristocrat
Speaker 3: Gaming at the SWBC studios here in Frisco, Texas. We
Speaker 3: will see you guys on Friday. Knew we will have
Speaker 3: all the reports from camps. They put the pads back
Speaker 3: on Friday, so we get to see some popping out there.
Speaker 2: We'll see you guys on Friday.
Speaker 8: Being ahead of it starts with the trenches. Keep it.
