We're gonna pop, We're gonna hit. 0:00:59.760 --> 0:01:02.720 And this to me is where we start to find 0:01:02.760 --> 0:01:05.760 out the most important questions, at least for me. How 0:01:05.800 --> 0:01:08.559 are they going to look on the offensive and defensive minds? 0:01:08.800 --> 0:01:11.840 This is where the game is. One gentleman, you've got 0:01:11.880 --> 0:01:14.520 to be good there. So Church, you take us through 0:01:14.840 --> 0:01:17.800 what is a first padded practice, Like after you've done 0:01:17.840 --> 0:01:20.080 all the oldtas and the mini can't to play play 0:01:20.280 --> 0:01:22.880 and even the first play play Now we got the 0:01:22.880 --> 0:01:23.280 real deal. 0:01:23.560 --> 0:01:25.960 Now, the first pad of practice, it's always super hype, 0:01:26.280 --> 0:01:28.800 always super hype. Everybody's you know, been itching to get 0:01:28.800 --> 0:01:32.720 the pads on. You see guys that as can't progresses. 0:01:32.760 --> 0:01:34.520 You know, people get into that locker room later and 0:01:34.600 --> 0:01:37.480 later before practice starts. But for that first pad of practice, 0:01:37.520 --> 0:01:39.720 people are there thirty minutes earlier. Man, go make sure 0:01:39.760 --> 0:01:42.680 my straps are good. They going to Big Mike's equipment 0:01:42.760 --> 0:01:45.120 room over there, making sure their gloves fit, shoes are 0:01:45.160 --> 0:01:45.679 fitting right. 0:01:45.680 --> 0:01:46.000 Everything. 0:01:46.160 --> 0:01:48.960 Everybody got their swag together, and everybody's hyped up to 0:01:49.000 --> 0:01:50.520 go out there and play. And then when you get 0:01:50.560 --> 0:01:52.480 out there, you know, of course you got your individual 0:01:52.520 --> 0:01:54.920 you got all your walkthroughs and stuff. But when the 0:01:54.960 --> 0:01:56.720 real paths start to get popping them and you can 0:01:56.760 --> 0:01:59.240 hear it, especially from that offensive line, deepensive line, when 0:01:59.240 --> 0:02:01.440 they're over there doring, you know, their trench work all years, 0:02:01.480 --> 0:02:05.600 pop pop, and then usually what happens. I mean this 0:02:05.640 --> 0:02:07.320 has been I've been on two teams in my you know, 0:02:07.480 --> 0:02:09.960 my nine years in the NFL, and usually that first 0:02:10.040 --> 0:02:11.959 day of practice there's always gonna be some type of 0:02:12.000 --> 0:02:15.080 scrap because somebody went too hard on somebody. 0:02:14.800 --> 0:02:16.320 Else and they're like, no, we can't do that. 0:02:16.520 --> 0:02:18.799 And it's usually the offensive deeps of the lineman because 0:02:18.800 --> 0:02:21.000 they're hit twenty four seven, they're going out in twenty 0:02:21.040 --> 0:02:21.520 four seven. 0:02:21.760 --> 0:02:23.880 Somebody's hand with in the face mask or something like 0:02:23.960 --> 0:02:24.520 that happens. 0:02:24.880 --> 0:02:27.120 But the first day of padded practice it's always one 0:02:27.120 --> 0:02:28.760 of the funnest because you got the most energy. So 0:02:28.840 --> 0:02:30.640 every play just like, yeah, let's get it, let's get 0:02:30.680 --> 0:02:32.400 it now. As camp goes on, people are like, man, 0:02:32.400 --> 0:02:34.560 I'm tired of hitting these people. I'm tired of let's 0:02:34.560 --> 0:02:37.000 get some exactly. Let's get to the regular season. But 0:02:37.440 --> 0:02:40.280 that first padded practice, man, it's it's always legit. And 0:02:40.440 --> 0:02:44.040 I always remember my was it when I first really 0:02:44.160 --> 0:02:46.320 met for Lando mcclan I think it was twenty fourteen. 0:02:46.560 --> 0:02:48.639 He when he came over, Sean. 0:02:48.480 --> 0:02:50.240 Lee had went down, and you know, everybody's like, oh, man, 0:02:50.240 --> 0:02:53.000 we're gonna get the linebacker position. And then that first 0:02:53.080 --> 0:02:55.679 padded practice, you know, everybody's kind of thudding up a 0:02:55.720 --> 0:02:57.919 little bit, and I don't know what got into my man, 0:02:58.040 --> 0:03:01.520 but young undrafted wide receiver by the name of Tim 0:03:01.600 --> 0:03:03.720 I forget his last name. He was number sixteen for 0:03:03.800 --> 0:03:07.320 the Cowboys what across the middle and Rolando it might 0:03:07.360 --> 0:03:09.160 have been the hardest hit I've ever seen in my life. 0:03:09.480 --> 0:03:12.040 Took the man's helmet off. He had his little jersey up, 0:03:12.080 --> 0:03:13.840 so the straps on the shoulder pads was going this 0:03:13.919 --> 0:03:16.480 way and that way, and I'm like, oh, we got 0:03:16.560 --> 0:03:18.880 a thumper in the middle. Right. 0:03:19.320 --> 0:03:21.040 It turned out that he was a pretty good player 0:03:21.080 --> 0:03:21.360 out there. 0:03:21.440 --> 0:03:24.480 But I'm telling you, man, that first padded practice, I mean, 0:03:24.520 --> 0:03:25.840 it's the most energy. 0:03:25.680 --> 0:03:28.680 You'll see all the cap I love to hear that, man. 0:03:28.800 --> 0:03:31.679 I mean those stories about those first padded practices, you 0:03:31.840 --> 0:03:33.720 know that these guys are waiting to get into it 0:03:33.880 --> 0:03:37.040 all OTAs, especially for the offensive lineman defensive linemen. They're 0:03:37.040 --> 0:03:38.800 the ones that really can't get any work at all 0:03:38.880 --> 0:03:42.360 because everything is simulated. And look, how can you it's 0:03:42.400 --> 0:03:44.840 not simulated where you're hitting, So how do you get 0:03:44.880 --> 0:03:45.880 that with real work? 0:03:45.960 --> 0:03:47.720 And yeah, we can run seven on seven off you 0:03:47.760 --> 0:03:50.200 want to. You can bump all that if you get 0:03:50.240 --> 0:03:52.640 all the yak you want to, But it really comes 0:03:52.680 --> 0:03:55.880 down to really those iceol plays, and that's like the linebackers, 0:03:55.960 --> 0:03:58.480 the defensive lineman, all those people, they are ready to 0:03:58.760 --> 0:04:00.760 really I mean, you can't even get ready for the 0:04:00.880 --> 0:04:04.000 season until you get that first little, you know, touch 0:04:04.040 --> 0:04:07.040 of contact, you know, And it's just so many guys 0:04:07.080 --> 0:04:09.040 on this team right now knew it that you know. Man, 0:04:09.880 --> 0:04:12.120 it's gonna come down to how rough and rugged they 0:04:12.160 --> 0:04:14.440 can be, because after all these last couple of seasons, 0:04:14.480 --> 0:04:16.640 that's been the biggest thing about the Cowboys that people 0:04:16.720 --> 0:04:20.040 been the biggest question mark toughness. Where's the toughness of 0:04:20.120 --> 0:04:23.039 this team? And I think the NFL is basically legislated 0:04:23.080 --> 0:04:24.400 a lot of it out. I think it's something like 0:04:24.520 --> 0:04:27.000 sixteen padded practices or. 0:04:27.040 --> 0:04:31.080 Something like that. Where it used to be back for 0:04:31.960 --> 0:04:34.560 it was gladiated school, and you don't have that anymore. 0:04:34.640 --> 0:04:37.840 So now these padded practices, the importance of them has 0:04:38.000 --> 0:04:40.600 like doubled with how important it is to put those 0:04:40.640 --> 0:04:42.480 pads on to really see the identity of a lot 0:04:42.520 --> 0:04:43.159 of these guys. 0:04:43.080 --> 0:04:46.279 Maximizing and look, let's just be honest, Okay, the Cowboys 0:04:46.320 --> 0:04:48.080 have done a fantastic job of winning a lot of 0:04:48.120 --> 0:04:49.720 regular seats of games. When we go back and we 0:04:49.800 --> 0:04:51.520 start to look at the losses that they've had, it's 0:04:51.520 --> 0:04:54.320 been against good teams, and it's been against teams where 0:04:54.520 --> 0:04:56.520 we talk about popping pads in the middle of You 0:04:56.560 --> 0:05:00.960 look at the Buffalo game last year, Francisco game, you 0:05:01.040 --> 0:05:02.640 look at the Green Bay game, and you say, okay, 0:05:02.760 --> 0:05:05.040 when you talk about the toughness, this is where you 0:05:05.160 --> 0:05:05.599 get tough. 0:05:05.920 --> 0:05:08.520 This is where you must be tough. One player. 0:05:08.560 --> 0:05:10.120 And by the way, they're going to have their first 0:05:10.160 --> 0:05:14.880 practice here in about fifteen minutes out knocks on California. 0:05:15.640 --> 0:05:18.599 I want to see what center brock Hoffman has. Okay, Okay, 0:05:19.000 --> 0:05:22.560 brock Hoffman is a guy who played so last year. Yes, 0:05:22.640 --> 0:05:25.120 they drafted Cooper b b out of Kansas State. But 0:05:25.560 --> 0:05:27.600 if I'm brock Hoffman, I'm up in here. You got 0:05:27.680 --> 0:05:29.240 to take this from me. That's how I would look 0:05:29.240 --> 0:05:30.760 at He's running with the first team right now, so 0:05:31.000 --> 0:05:33.200 as Pats pop, let's see what he can do. We 0:05:33.320 --> 0:05:36.080 all need to see exactly what Tyler Guidon the left 0:05:36.120 --> 0:05:41.160 haack of what can he do? We all all waiting 0:05:41.200 --> 0:05:42.960 on and see what they're gonna get out of Mozzie Smith, 0:05:43.040 --> 0:05:43.919 last year's first. 0:05:45.800 --> 0:05:49.840 Say he's ready. Look this is okay, all. 0:05:49.800 --> 0:05:52.520 Of this has been play play Okay, I'll do just 0:05:52.600 --> 0:05:56.800 rubbing up on each other, you know, right right, you know, 0:05:57.279 --> 0:05:59.880 swim past the guy. You know now he's hitting, okay, 0:06:00.640 --> 0:06:03.400 And for me, that's what I want to see. I 0:06:03.560 --> 0:06:05.720 want to see what these guys are going to do, 0:06:05.839 --> 0:06:11.040 because if this team is going to do anything, they 0:06:11.240 --> 0:06:14.200 must be good in the trenches on both sides of 0:06:14.200 --> 0:06:14.880 the well. 0:06:15.120 --> 0:06:17.560 You bring up a great point on brock Hoffman, and 0:06:17.920 --> 0:06:20.240 there have to be some confidence in him to be 0:06:20.320 --> 0:06:23.640 able to let Tyler be Idish walk. Let's just be honest, 0:06:23.640 --> 0:06:26.520 there I mean, and there always has been nothing you 0:06:26.560 --> 0:06:28.520 don't think so I think it was ten million dollars. 0:06:31.839 --> 0:06:33.720 A lot of those decisions make themselves right. 0:06:34.200 --> 0:06:38.279 It is nothing against Tyler be Okay, good football player, 0:06:39.000 --> 0:06:40.480 ten million dollars football player? 0:06:41.000 --> 0:06:46.240 Hey man, good luck you dq you know, flights a year? 0:06:46.400 --> 0:06:46.560 Right? 0:06:47.520 --> 0:06:48.920 But he did you think? 0:06:49.560 --> 0:06:49.600 No? 0:06:49.839 --> 0:06:52.000 I really look, here's the thing I think, for for 0:06:52.080 --> 0:06:54.800 a very long time here in Dallas, they've done everything 0:06:54.920 --> 0:06:58.120 to keep the nucleus of a good offensive line and 0:06:58.200 --> 0:07:01.520 they and they paid guys that have been players. Again, 0:07:01.880 --> 0:07:04.560 can you point to Tyler biadis ten million dollars worth 0:07:04.920 --> 0:07:07.440 not so much? And so brock Kaufman is really pushed 0:07:07.440 --> 0:07:10.480 in this position where like you said, man, it's his 0:07:10.960 --> 0:07:14.200 to lose. But in as you know, as the peking 0:07:14.360 --> 0:07:16.640 ught goes and how your draft arter goes, and how 0:07:16.720 --> 0:07:20.040 you're being paid and how they're forecasting you into the future, 0:07:20.320 --> 0:07:23.240 BB is someone that they are saying, look, you could 0:07:23.280 --> 0:07:27.040 be the future here at this position. Second season here 0:07:27.080 --> 0:07:30.280 for brock Kaufman, and he has come in and spelled 0:07:30.960 --> 0:07:33.080 and with injuries and all of that, and. 0:07:33.120 --> 0:07:36.360 It's played really well, played really well. 0:07:36.480 --> 0:07:38.800 But I think it's going to come down to who 0:07:39.280 --> 0:07:42.120 is the guy in the middle, because you have to 0:07:42.240 --> 0:07:44.760 be the brain trust of that offensive line. You have 0:07:44.920 --> 0:07:48.360 to call protections. We know it's not just hiking the ball, 0:07:49.440 --> 0:07:52.080 so so much of that is going to be brock 0:07:52.120 --> 0:07:54.000 Kaufman has a leg up on the other side of 0:07:54.040 --> 0:07:56.440 BB because he's been in the system already for a year. 0:07:56.560 --> 0:07:58.560 So, like you said, it's his to lose, So go 0:07:59.080 --> 0:07:59.880 on flip on this one. 0:08:01.280 --> 0:08:04.160 I think about Terren Steele. Here's your starting right tackle. 0:08:04.280 --> 0:08:06.840 This guy wasn't drafted. So this team is showing you 0:08:07.080 --> 0:08:10.160 they're not afraid to give a guy an opportunity, especially 0:08:10.160 --> 0:08:12.760 on the offensive line that's undrafted. So it's not a 0:08:12.920 --> 0:08:15.360 stretch to say maybe he could pull this thing off, 0:08:16.000 --> 0:08:17.840 especially knowing Bebe's. 0:08:17.400 --> 0:08:17.920 Got to learn. 0:08:18.360 --> 0:08:21.280 I mean, you were undrafted right here, and so this 0:08:21.440 --> 0:08:24.120 is an organization that has no problem saying, if you 0:08:24.200 --> 0:08:24.640 can get it. 0:08:24.680 --> 0:08:26.480 Done, we'll play. Oh yeah, without a doubt. I mean 0:08:26.480 --> 0:08:28.680 the Cowboys they do great when it comes to undrafted guys. 0:08:28.680 --> 0:08:30.600 You're talking about the Miles Austin's of the world, to 0:08:30.680 --> 0:08:33.839 Tony Romols myself. I mean, there's Beasley, all those type 0:08:33.840 --> 0:08:36.199 of guys. They give opportunities to the Only thing what 0:08:36.360 --> 0:08:38.680 Hoffman is he's gonna have to go out there each 0:08:38.800 --> 0:08:41.319 and every practice and prove that he belongs with that 0:08:41.360 --> 0:08:41.719 first team. 0:08:41.920 --> 0:08:44.439 He's gonna have to show these coaches each and every day. 0:08:44.720 --> 0:08:46.520 Man, you know what that Hoffman he can pick up 0:08:46.520 --> 0:08:49.319 the blizz man, he can understand what protections are, he 0:08:49.360 --> 0:08:50.160 can help the quarterback. 0:08:50.280 --> 0:08:52.319 He's gonna have to do that each and every practice. 0:08:52.360 --> 0:08:54.680 When it comes to BB, they're gonna bring him along slow. 0:08:54.760 --> 0:08:57.000 He was a second round draft pick, so he's gonna 0:08:57.000 --> 0:08:59.440 have to have every opportunity to prove that he can't play. 0:08:59.600 --> 0:09:01.439 Because the scot team they don't want to feel like 0:09:01.480 --> 0:09:03.160 they're wrong, you know, so they're going to give him 0:09:03.280 --> 0:09:06.160 every opportunity out there to get that starting position. 0:09:06.240 --> 0:09:08.319 But Hoffman, he's going to have to make sure he 0:09:08.400 --> 0:09:08.720 plays his. 0:09:08.760 --> 0:09:11.360 Cards right and makes the right decisions almost each and 0:09:11.400 --> 0:09:13.520 every practice. Not saying he has to be perfect, but 0:09:13.800 --> 0:09:16.720 he's gonna have a lot less opportunities to mess up 0:09:17.160 --> 0:09:18.960 than a Zach Bibie with just because of the draft 0:09:18.960 --> 0:09:21.000 status and being undrafted versus the second rounder. 0:09:21.200 --> 0:09:21.360 Yeah. 0:09:21.440 --> 0:09:24.599 Well, and then on the other side, for Hoffman, he 0:09:24.760 --> 0:09:27.920 has he has two really good players next to him. 0:09:28.080 --> 0:09:32.840 Yeah, yeah, Smith and Martin. It really kind of makes 0:09:32.880 --> 0:09:34.079 the job a little bit easier. 0:09:34.120 --> 0:09:36.199 But I think for these coaches and his coaching staff, 0:09:36.200 --> 0:09:38.800 they're looking for who is more physical in the middle, 0:09:38.840 --> 0:09:40.680 who is going to be the guy because the running 0:09:40.720 --> 0:09:43.640 game is really what has been punished because you've been 0:09:43.679 --> 0:09:45.680 so weak in the middle of not having that guy 0:09:46.040 --> 0:09:48.760 that is that role breaker of offensive lineman, and so 0:09:48.920 --> 0:09:51.200 Cooper BB has a lot to make up to that regard. 0:09:51.240 --> 0:09:52.520 I mean, I think when they came out and they 0:09:52.600 --> 0:09:55.920 evaluated that guy, they evaluated him based off of his run, 0:09:56.400 --> 0:09:59.000 his ability to run block, his ability to get up 0:09:59.000 --> 0:10:01.840 to the second level for the center, that's the biggest thing. 0:10:01.960 --> 0:10:04.760 Can you get to the second level and it is tough. 0:10:04.880 --> 0:10:06.920 It is tough, but also helping on double teams and 0:10:07.000 --> 0:10:09.040 things like that. So I think I got my eyes 0:10:09.080 --> 0:10:12.000 on Cooper BB because I want to see how physical 0:10:12.000 --> 0:10:15.439 and can he translate what he did in college to 0:10:15.559 --> 0:10:17.199 the pros and been as physical as he was. 0:10:17.400 --> 0:10:19.480 I was at Kansas State a couple of times this 0:10:19.640 --> 0:10:21.960 year and and talk to some of the coaches. They 0:10:22.000 --> 0:10:23.679 had nothing but good things to say about the young man. 0:10:23.800 --> 0:10:25.520 So I think if you're a Cowboy fan, you should 0:10:25.520 --> 0:10:27.839 feel good about Cooper BB. But I come back into this, 0:10:28.000 --> 0:10:32.280 heck man, We've seen this so many times. Seventeen game season, man, 0:10:32.320 --> 0:10:35.960 guys are dropping. I mean, Zach Martin is time last year. 0:10:35.960 --> 0:10:40.360 We've seen several players. So whether Cooper BB's your starting 0:10:40.440 --> 0:10:45.280 center or Brock Coffin, the way the NFL is played today, 0:10:45.559 --> 0:10:47.959 you're going to need some people and you're going to 0:10:48.240 --> 0:10:51.599 you just can't have five. You need about eight to 0:10:51.760 --> 0:10:54.199 nine of these guys because you're gonna groll through them. 0:10:54.640 --> 0:10:57.640 So that's that's my other portion of you know, can 0:10:57.679 --> 0:10:59.520 Iron shopper and Iron? Can it get better? If it's 0:10:59.559 --> 0:11:02.200 Hoffin's first, maybe B becomes a little bit later that's 0:11:02.240 --> 0:11:04.920 okay too, but they are going to have to develop 0:11:04.960 --> 0:11:08.240 some depth here. And let me throw this out here, 0:11:08.240 --> 0:11:11.079 and we're going way way way. I haven't seen it, 0:11:11.200 --> 0:11:15.720 but just the contingencies we're talking about Tyler guiding at 0:11:15.760 --> 0:11:19.679 left hackle, let's just say it doesn't go the way 0:11:19.760 --> 0:11:22.439 they want to. He may need a little bit more time. 0:11:23.240 --> 0:11:25.280 If they had to put Tyler Smith out there at 0:11:25.400 --> 0:11:30.920 left tackle, BB's play guard. You could potentially put BB 0:11:31.120 --> 0:11:33.360 at left guard and put Hoffman at center. I mean, 0:11:33.440 --> 0:11:35.240 they're going to have to experience. That's what they're gonna 0:11:35.240 --> 0:11:36.800 do anyway. So every team you're going to have to 0:11:36.880 --> 0:11:39.800 throw out some experience about who's where or maybe instead 0:11:39.800 --> 0:11:41.719 of putting Coop BB left tick, maybe it's a boy 0:11:41.800 --> 0:11:43.360 tuma yoga right there. 0:11:43.400 --> 0:11:45.319 I mean, who's a better interior guy next? 0:11:45.559 --> 0:11:48.760 So there's there's combinations, and that's that's one thing I 0:11:48.800 --> 0:11:50.480 do miss about not being a camper, and as it's 0:11:50.520 --> 0:11:51.440 kind of what. 0:11:51.520 --> 0:11:53.840 Are they doing? 0:11:53.880 --> 0:11:54.040 Man? 0:11:54.080 --> 0:11:56.640 And I remember when just in like I'm nowhere near 0:11:56.800 --> 0:11:59.760 and comparing myself to these offensive linemen at the pro level, 0:11:59.800 --> 0:12:02.040 But I just remember the high school level when you 0:12:02.240 --> 0:12:06.760 just would mixing guys and just the communication and understanding 0:12:06.840 --> 0:12:09.079 how who's going to do what and where you go. 0:12:09.400 --> 0:12:12.160 It's a challenge and that's where I think the offensive 0:12:12.200 --> 0:12:14.280 line play because we always like to look at. 0:12:14.160 --> 0:12:16.680 The receivers and the running back but skill. 0:12:16.880 --> 0:12:20.400 Right, But that that challenge of having the mixing different 0:12:20.480 --> 0:12:24.240 guys and how you go about the learning aspect and working. 0:12:24.440 --> 0:12:27.400 You know, hey, if you you know, if you got 0:12:27.440 --> 0:12:29.480 Aaron Donald here, it's a whole little a whole little 0:12:29.480 --> 0:12:33.439 different about how we go run a play. So it's 0:12:33.480 --> 0:12:36.079 more said, a whole little different, you know. So as 0:12:36.120 --> 0:12:38.760 you're mixing guys in figured out who can handle who, 0:12:39.600 --> 0:12:40.760 that is a challenge, man. 0:12:40.880 --> 0:12:42.520 So I'm looking forward to that. 0:12:42.800 --> 0:12:44.600 Let me just let me just say this. I think 0:12:44.679 --> 0:12:48.760 that Tyler Geydon right now has a lot of pressure 0:12:48.800 --> 0:12:51.199 on it, all right, because of his drafts where he 0:12:51.320 --> 0:12:55.320 was drafted, but also each and every day he's going 0:12:55.440 --> 0:12:59.360 up against Michael Parsons and when you say iron shoppings, iron, 0:12:59.600 --> 0:13:01.920 there you have it. And if he can handle this 0:13:02.080 --> 0:13:05.000 matchup on an everyday basis, I think what I'm looking 0:13:05.040 --> 0:13:07.880 at is the first four games of the seasons, the 0:13:08.000 --> 0:13:09.640 past rushers that he has to face. 0:13:09.920 --> 0:13:12.120 I mean, he comes right out to shoot with Miles 0:13:12.200 --> 0:13:22.640 Garrett five. The last thing you. 0:13:22.640 --> 0:13:25.360 Wanted a rookie that be having seen guys fight over me, 0:13:25.559 --> 0:13:28.400 you know, waving other guys off to get on that side. 0:13:28.800 --> 0:13:28.959 You know. 0:13:29.040 --> 0:13:31.319 I just feel as though, as a contingency, it's good 0:13:31.400 --> 0:13:33.240 to have a guy like Tyler Smith that you know, 0:13:33.880 --> 0:13:36.680 has the experience, has the footwork, and has the toughness. 0:13:36.840 --> 0:13:39.120 But I think what he's shown you is that man, 0:13:39.200 --> 0:13:41.480 he's a guard. He's a left guard. I've been fighting 0:13:41.520 --> 0:13:43.520 for him to go play left tackle. But I think 0:13:43.600 --> 0:13:46.160 that the front office and everybody else has seen like 0:13:46.320 --> 0:13:49.079 this guy has really hell to deal with in the 0:13:49.160 --> 0:13:51.960 middle of this offensive line. And if we can bring 0:13:52.000 --> 0:13:54.079 in a guy like Chuman Doga or bring a tight 0:13:54.160 --> 0:13:55.800 end and set him out there on that side, we 0:13:55.920 --> 0:13:58.640 will be better served than to move Tyler Smith out. 0:13:58.640 --> 0:14:01.439 There's first five games in year at Cleveland, home against 0:14:01.480 --> 0:14:04.600 New Orleans, home against Baltimore, a Thursday night game at 0:14:04.679 --> 0:14:07.520 the Giants, and then game number five at Pittsburgh. 0:14:08.040 --> 0:14:15.319 You talked about past rushers nothing. What I said, Oh 0:14:15.520 --> 0:14:16.720 my goodness, he's padded. 0:14:16.800 --> 0:14:19.320 Practices matter because you've got to start to figure out 0:14:19.360 --> 0:14:21.600 what you've got and you talk about being tough, you 0:14:21.760 --> 0:14:22.640 better be tough here. 0:14:24.720 --> 0:14:27.640 I heard an interview with Tyler Whiscus with Guyton, and 0:14:27.800 --> 0:14:30.240 he said, I didn't take a vacation this summer. 0:14:30.240 --> 0:14:30.640 I didn't go. 0:14:31.120 --> 0:14:33.080 I'm like, that's a smart man. He know what he 0:14:33.160 --> 0:14:35.840 has on his plate, sense of going to cans in 0:14:35.920 --> 0:14:38.440 France and all of that. You better be right here, buddy, 0:14:38.840 --> 0:14:40.040 lock in and. 0:14:41.760 --> 0:14:43.400 Back on what you said about Guy One of the 0:14:44.160 --> 0:14:46.520 one of the smartest things he could do is really 0:14:46.680 --> 0:14:50.360 just go Tyler asking Tyler Smith, because remember when he 0:14:50.440 --> 0:14:52.040 was drafted, a lot of people are like, wait a minute, 0:14:52.040 --> 0:14:54.920 it's guy. Nobody held more than in college football than 0:14:55.000 --> 0:14:57.160 him from Tulsa. I mean, there were so many people 0:14:57.240 --> 0:15:00.560 were just down and that young man, and he's been 0:15:00.840 --> 0:15:02.720 nothing but fantastic. 0:15:02.960 --> 0:15:03.400 That's true. 0:15:03.680 --> 0:15:06.600 So I would attach myself to him in terms of, Okay, 0:15:07.160 --> 0:15:08.280 we're playing next to each other. 0:15:08.360 --> 0:15:08.800 What do we do? 0:15:08.920 --> 0:15:09.920 How do I get better? 0:15:11.080 --> 0:15:14.200 You guys played college football, Heck, you played k State, 0:15:14.240 --> 0:15:16.680 North Texas, Barry you played Toledo, played in the NFL. 0:15:16.720 --> 0:15:20.440 But I just think along the way in any profession, 0:15:21.160 --> 0:15:22.080 find out who's good. 0:15:23.120 --> 0:15:25.960 You got what you do? How do I do what 0:15:26.040 --> 0:15:27.560 you're able to last this long. 0:15:27.640 --> 0:15:29.280 I mean, you gotta make sure you get to a 0:15:29.440 --> 0:15:31.760 veteran and make sure that pick his brain a little bit. 0:15:31.800 --> 0:15:33.360 I mean that's what I always did when I first 0:15:33.400 --> 0:15:35.880 got here with Gerald Sensibl was my you know, veteran, 0:15:35.960 --> 0:15:37.200 the guy that kind of taught me how to do 0:15:37.320 --> 0:15:39.360 this and that and recoverage all that good stuff. So 0:15:39.480 --> 0:15:41.280 you gotta make sure you hit to get a veteran 0:15:41.360 --> 0:15:43.840 in there. But I mean, what helped Tyler Smith so 0:15:44.000 --> 0:15:45.640 much was he had, you know, a Hall of Famer 0:15:45.720 --> 0:15:48.000 next to him. You know, hopefully that rubbed the lot 0:15:48.080 --> 0:15:49.680 off on him and so now he can help the 0:15:49.760 --> 0:15:50.400 next generation. 0:15:50.560 --> 0:15:52.680 But we shall see. That's a that's a big shooter, 0:15:52.760 --> 0:15:54.000 feel no, it is. 0:15:54.120 --> 0:15:56.960 And Tyler Smith is definitely the guy. He's man, and 0:15:57.040 --> 0:15:58.960 I'm so impressed by him every time I see him 0:15:58.960 --> 0:16:01.360 in an interview, just to wa how articulate he is 0:16:01.400 --> 0:16:04.080 as a young man. But also that's smartness and just 0:16:04.360 --> 0:16:07.440 kind of taking that guy under his wing and saying, look, man, 0:16:07.560 --> 0:16:09.840 this is this is how the NFL works, this is 0:16:09.880 --> 0:16:12.320 how play works, this is how you break down film 0:16:12.400 --> 0:16:14.560 with guys. Because he's gonna have to become a student 0:16:14.640 --> 0:16:16.680 of the game. When you're six seven, six eight and 0:16:16.720 --> 0:16:18.320 you're just used to being able to stick your arm 0:16:18.400 --> 0:16:20.520 out there and keep a guy distance, then okay, that 0:16:20.640 --> 0:16:23.920 works all right. That works against an Iowa State. That's 0:16:23.960 --> 0:16:27.840 not gonna work against Miles Garrett. That's not gonna work 0:16:27.960 --> 0:16:28.640 against t. J. 0:16:28.840 --> 0:16:29.000 Watt. 0:16:29.120 --> 0:16:31.360 It's a whole nother ball game when you have that 0:16:31.480 --> 0:16:32.920 kind of athleticism across from you. 0:16:35.880 --> 0:16:46.840 Yeah, yeah, it's tough, which. 0:16:46.480 --> 0:16:49.520 Mean you don't need to run the ball. Let's let's 0:16:49.600 --> 0:16:52.880 let's take a break. Let's take our first break, because 0:16:53.280 --> 0:16:57.080 as we're talking about the past rushers and the offensive line, 0:16:57.760 --> 0:17:02.320 the result needs to be a running game. How do 0:17:02.400 --> 0:17:05.840 we feel about who's running the ball in that whole 0:17:05.920 --> 0:17:06.720 running back room. 0:17:07.000 --> 0:17:07.399 We'll do that. 0:17:07.520 --> 0:17:10.280 Next to Barry Churchich Maharrison new Scuts plays Lounge brought 0:17:10.280 --> 0:17:11.600 to you by Aristocrat. 0:17:16.760 --> 0:17:20.280 Are you the twenty twenty four Dallas Cowboys Fan of 0:17:20.359 --> 0:17:25.200 the Year.

Hell 0:21:01.359 --> 0:21:09.680 come on now, Aristocrat, Yeah, Gaby, he's Bury Church. 0:21:12.320 --> 0:21:17.040 Marrison over here. All right, paddick practice about to start. Well, 0:21:17.040 --> 0:21:19.440 it's already started five minutes ago. Okay, started five minutes ago. 0:21:19.640 --> 0:21:22.000 At ox Star, California. We're talking in the first segment 0:21:22.080 --> 0:21:24.639 about the past being on popping. Let's see what the 0:21:24.680 --> 0:21:27.640 offensive defensive lines can do. Yes, we know the Cowboys 0:21:27.680 --> 0:21:29.360 in the playoffs have been put out the last two 0:21:29.440 --> 0:21:32.040 years by teams who could run the football Green Bay, 0:21:32.119 --> 0:21:36.840 San Francisco. What about the Cowboys ability to run the football. 0:21:36.920 --> 0:21:39.359 That's the importance of the offensive line. And now the 0:21:39.440 --> 0:21:42.800 running back room kind of goes back to the future 0:21:42.840 --> 0:21:47.760 where here's Ezekiel Elliet. Yeah, not Zeke, fresh from Ohio 0:21:47.880 --> 0:21:50.480 State and Zeke but you know, little tread on a tire, 0:21:50.920 --> 0:21:53.359 fresh from playing for Bill Belichick in New England. 0:21:53.880 --> 0:21:58.320 And so now he's back. Yeah, we should not. It's 0:21:58.400 --> 0:21:58.920 like Klay. 0:21:58.760 --> 0:22:01.440 Thompson coming to the Mavericks. Don't expect to see splash 0:22:01.520 --> 0:22:02.040 brother Clay. 0:22:02.160 --> 0:22:03.520 No, that's not who you get. 0:22:03.760 --> 0:22:06.000 This is not Zeke. You know, feeds it. This is 0:22:06.080 --> 0:22:08.760 you know we you know, Zeke's like that older dog 0:22:08.920 --> 0:22:11.040 you have. Now we're give him the weight management food. 0:22:11.119 --> 0:22:17.520 You just go we've held. No, we feed a little differently. 0:22:17.560 --> 0:22:19.680 We watch it. This weight, we take it care of it. 0:22:19.760 --> 0:22:21.320 We can't get anybody dog a little bit, you know. 0:22:22.160 --> 0:22:25.240 So that look, if he's not gonna kill tote the 0:22:25.280 --> 0:22:28.040 ball twenty times game, he's not gonna run for fifteen 0:22:28.119 --> 0:22:30.159 hundred yard. We're not looking for that from Ezekiel, I 0:22:30.760 --> 0:22:35.640 think that would be unfair. Can he give you fifteen 0:22:36.200 --> 0:22:39.800 fifteen touches a game and pick up the blitz and 0:22:40.240 --> 0:22:42.120 third and one, third and two converted? 0:22:42.520 --> 0:22:43.159 That's what you need. 0:22:43.240 --> 0:22:44.800 It's like now when I look at Klay Thompson for 0:22:44.840 --> 0:22:46.760 the Mavericks. Hey man, can this guy go give you 0:22:46.840 --> 0:22:48.240 fourteen to eighteen points a game? 0:22:48.560 --> 0:22:49.960 That can help you here? Yeah? 0:22:50.040 --> 0:22:52.879 Okay, because you'll you got Luca and Kyrie to do that. 0:22:53.080 --> 0:22:56.119 You got Dak, you got seen, you got people over here. 0:22:56.200 --> 0:22:58.000 Hey man, I just need to get your fifteen toes. 0:22:58.640 --> 0:23:01.600 Pick me up a third and two goal line score 0:23:01.640 --> 0:23:03.760 because goal line was brown last year. If he can 0:23:03.800 --> 0:23:05.760 do that, in my opinion, that's what I'm looking for 0:23:05.840 --> 0:23:06.680 from Zeke. What you're looking for? 0:23:06.800 --> 0:23:09.720 He well, Clay also plays defense, so I don't want 0:23:09.720 --> 0:23:12.919 to throw that in there as well. Not as good 0:23:12.920 --> 0:23:16.240 as you used to, but he still does way aitherway 0:23:16.920 --> 0:23:18.680 you need it. You need it on that team. 0:23:18.920 --> 0:23:22.720 Look warms my heart to see Ezekiel Elliott back in 0:23:22.800 --> 0:23:26.280 the Cowboys uniform. Now, we already had this discussion, Danny McCrae. 0:23:26.440 --> 0:23:28.520 We already have dinner on it, so there's no need 0:23:28.640 --> 0:23:31.639 to revisit this because the expectation of what he can 0:23:31.720 --> 0:23:33.359 do in his running back room, I think is going 0:23:33.440 --> 0:23:35.600 to be a lot better than what you saw last 0:23:35.640 --> 0:23:38.840 year with Tony Polller. I think Tony Poler he struggled 0:23:38.920 --> 0:23:42.320 throughout the season and that was the one deficiency in 0:23:42.520 --> 0:23:47.359 the offensive just synergy was his ability just to carry 0:23:47.400 --> 0:23:49.000 the running game. And it didn't matter if it was 0:23:49.040 --> 0:23:51.920 a running back by committee, ric O'Dowd or whoever it was, 0:23:52.040 --> 0:23:55.159 you just didn't have that tough inside runner. And you 0:23:55.320 --> 0:23:57.480 just alluded to the fact that there was in that 0:23:57.600 --> 0:23:59.840 short yardage game when we had those thirds and ones 0:24:00.000 --> 0:24:03.320 and we had those goal line experiences in Miami where 0:24:03.400 --> 0:24:06.280 we could not get into the goal. We just couldn't 0:24:06.320 --> 0:24:09.280 get across the goal line. We have that now, Now, 0:24:09.600 --> 0:24:12.160 how does that mix currently. I'm not looking for Zeke 0:24:12.200 --> 0:24:14.720 to be twenty sixteen Cie, but I am looking for 0:24:14.840 --> 0:24:17.080 Zeke to be that guy that can pick up quality 0:24:17.200 --> 0:24:21.760 yards and can also batter a defense. Ric o'dadell is 0:24:21.840 --> 0:24:23.560 gonna have to pick up the slack. You're gonna have 0:24:23.640 --> 0:24:25.880 to have a third guy in here as well. Yes, 0:24:26.160 --> 0:24:28.600 you're gonna have to add a third guy in here. 0:24:28.760 --> 0:24:30.760 Is what, Yes, you're gonna have to have a third 0:24:30.800 --> 0:24:32.600 guy in here as well, and it's gonna have to 0:24:32.720 --> 0:24:34.760 be one of those guys that can up the tempo. 0:24:35.280 --> 0:24:38.120 We asked last year it was all about, well man, Dak, 0:24:38.520 --> 0:24:40.600 you know, the running game ain't going took it and 0:24:40.720 --> 0:24:41.400 run with it, Dak? 0:24:41.720 --> 0:24:43.359 And what what did that show? 0:24:43.560 --> 0:24:47.199 Dak was like, Nope, nope, I'm an audible right out 0:24:47.240 --> 0:24:48.840 of that, and I'm gonna turn around and I'm gonna 0:24:48.840 --> 0:24:50.159 handleball to Tony Pollard. 0:24:50.480 --> 0:24:51.919 The running game wasn't there for us. 0:24:51.960 --> 0:24:54.800 And I mean, one way or another, we are going 0:24:54.920 --> 0:24:58.040 to have to brother running back by committee. We need 0:24:58.200 --> 0:25:00.680 at least fourteen to fifteen hundred yard of that room. 0:25:00.880 --> 0:25:02.159 And I don't see it. 0:25:02.640 --> 0:25:04.840 I don't see it at all. I don't see fifteen 0:25:04.920 --> 0:25:07.359 hundred yards out of that group. We're talking about a 0:25:07.440 --> 0:25:12.320 Royce Freeman, We're talking about Zeke my boy, Yeah, Rico Daddle, 0:25:12.560 --> 0:25:16.520 then forty Due. We were talking about that group of 0:25:16.600 --> 0:25:19.760 people right there, gonna give you fifteen hundred yards out 0:25:19.800 --> 0:25:22.280 that This to me reminds me a lot. And we 0:25:22.359 --> 0:25:24.040 talked about this, I think last week of the week 0:25:24.080 --> 0:25:26.920 before when we came in with that wide receiver corps 0:25:27.480 --> 0:25:28.720 with herds and the crew. 0:25:28.960 --> 0:25:31.600 Now we're doing with the wide receivers. Were doing it 0:25:31.720 --> 0:25:34.600 in the running back room. That's exactly what's going on 0:25:34.840 --> 0:25:35.119 right now. 0:25:35.200 --> 0:25:36.840 You telling me that group of people, that group of 0:25:36.920 --> 0:25:40.399 running backs, and looks he was a phenomenal running back 0:25:40.400 --> 0:25:41.760 when he first came. And like you said that, the 0:25:41.840 --> 0:25:44.240 tread is getting a little thin on that side. You 0:25:44.359 --> 0:25:46.320 think he's gonna he's gonna be able to carry the load. 0:25:46.760 --> 0:25:49.120 We've yet to see what Rico can do carrying the load. 0:25:49.160 --> 0:25:51.560 He was spelling Tony Poler last year. 0:25:51.800 --> 0:25:54.960 We don't know what Deuce is. Royce Freeman to me, 0:25:55.359 --> 0:25:58.360 this is I don't know, man, I don't, I don't, 0:25:58.359 --> 0:26:00.280 I don't. I don't see teen. 0:26:00.280 --> 0:26:04.840 Hundred yards in production yards. That's receiving as well. No, no, no, no, 0:26:05.240 --> 0:26:08.200 I'm Russian saying. I'm saying just I said Russian. So 0:26:08.240 --> 0:26:10.720 I'm gonna stay on that. All right. We got Ony 0:26:10.880 --> 0:26:13.720 eleven from Tony Pollard last season. I'm saying you needed 0:26:13.800 --> 0:26:16.800 more than that even from him. All right, you have 0:26:16.960 --> 0:26:19.080 to have more contributions, I think, and this is just 0:26:19.160 --> 0:26:20.800 right off the top. I think Rico Dada was something 0:26:20.840 --> 0:26:23.840 like two hundred and some yards and that's not that's 0:26:23.960 --> 0:26:25.920 that's not that's not gonna cut it. It's not gonna 0:26:25.960 --> 0:26:27.720 get it done. You have to be better to that 0:26:27.840 --> 0:26:28.320 regard this. 0:26:28.440 --> 0:26:31.639 This smells a lot like Dak passing it thirty five 0:26:31.720 --> 0:26:32.800 or forty five times, and. 0:26:32.840 --> 0:26:35.800 That's not gonna work. That's not gonna work. That's not 0:26:35.840 --> 0:26:42.040 what you need. So say this, man, say this number one. 0:26:43.640 --> 0:26:47.000 People will get cut.

I said, fifteen hundred yards between three guys, 0:29:16.640 --> 0:29:18.840 and I got like I got four eyes over here. 0:29:19.000 --> 0:29:24.200 A link into that too.

Sometimes you gotta 0:29:47.840 --> 0:29:50.200 go ahead and decide I'm gonna be out here like 0:29:50.400 --> 0:29:53.240 Prince Prince was out here out here by himself, wearing 0:29:53.320 --> 0:29:56.280 them crazy clothes and g strings and all that. 0:29:56.640 --> 0:29:58.880 Okay, look at him, look at it, the legend legend. 0:29:59.040 --> 0:30:00.800 I'm just telling you right now, I'm gonna put some 0:30:00.880 --> 0:30:03.960 faith in this man. Put some faith right here, Hunde Limkey, 0:30:04.880 --> 0:30:06.160 jump on the train if you want to. 0:30:06.240 --> 0:30:08.080 You can sit up here criticizing. That's okay. You got 0:30:08.120 --> 0:30:09.600 a lot of seats on that train, That's okay. 0:30:09.920 --> 0:30:12.640 I'm all right, man, all right. Jesus was by himself 0:30:12.640 --> 0:30:15.240 for a minutntil he found twelve. Right now, I'm gonna 0:30:15.240 --> 0:30:17.840 go get myself twelve. I'm gona get twelve l fuggy disciples. 0:30:19.240 --> 0:30:24.120 You're recruiting to day outside for the Book of Mike McCarthy. 0:30:24.160 --> 0:30:27.320 We're gonna leave that. Look. Look, I see where you're 0:30:27.320 --> 0:30:29.360 going with that, all right, I see where he's going 0:30:29.480 --> 0:30:29.680 with that. 0:30:30.120 --> 0:30:32.400 But I really, I really think that's the reason why 0:30:32.520 --> 0:30:35.360 you bring back in Ezekiel Elliott, because you understand I 0:30:35.480 --> 0:30:38.040 have faith in this guy. I've seen him do it before. 0:30:38.360 --> 0:30:40.840 He did it in New England. Okay, yes, well he 0:30:40.960 --> 0:30:43.560 did it in New England and I just didn't look 0:30:43.760 --> 0:30:48.880 for me, Barry that production that he had in New England. Boy, 0:30:48.920 --> 0:30:51.280 we sure needed that production. Last year. 0:30:51.520 --> 0:30:53.480 We gave that, we gave it away. And if he 0:30:53.560 --> 0:30:56.080 can mimic, if he could just mimic that. But what 0:30:56.240 --> 0:30:58.320 did he what did he do in New England? I 0:30:58.520 --> 0:31:00.680 was this what I'm saying, the real it was? What 0:31:01.000 --> 0:31:03.280 is what he could have done here? That I look 0:31:03.320 --> 0:31:07.080 at him the goal line? How many times we talked 0:31:07.080 --> 0:31:08.800 about that for the five yard line? They couldn't get 0:31:08.800 --> 0:31:09.240 something done. 0:31:09.600 --> 0:31:11.760 That's where you're looking at him back and show you 0:31:11.880 --> 0:31:15.560 take that with Zeke his ability and the improvement of Elboogie, I. 0:31:15.640 --> 0:31:18.280 Can't believe you lost by two and you know what 0:31:18.360 --> 0:31:18.560 this is. 0:31:18.600 --> 0:31:20.880 I'm gonna go back to something that that I know 0:31:20.960 --> 0:31:23.040 knew is always going to talk about the win percentage 0:31:23.080 --> 0:31:27.280 in the NFL. It's always, you know, two points or less. 0:31:27.440 --> 0:31:30.840 All right, that's it, all right. You lose a game 0:31:30.880 --> 0:31:33.520 by two points to the Dolphins. You have a game 0:31:33.600 --> 0:31:35.320 against the Bills where they're just running the ball. I 0:31:35.360 --> 0:31:38.080 mean it down your throat. Playoff game talked about that. 0:31:38.360 --> 0:31:40.440 You have a team that's just runaway freight train and 0:31:40.560 --> 0:31:42.440 you can't stop the bleeding because you don't have a 0:31:42.520 --> 0:31:45.320 running game to speak of. We have got to figure 0:31:45.360 --> 0:31:47.520 this out. I mean it's gonna that's one of those things. 0:31:47.520 --> 0:31:50.040 And I knew you guys were already on this train 0:31:50.160 --> 0:31:53.360 of the running running. Back room don't look too good, 0:31:53.440 --> 0:31:57.040 and I don't feel as confident in it as always 0:31:57.160 --> 0:31:59.720 have with having those you know, cornerstones in the running 0:31:59.760 --> 0:32:01.080 games sitting in that room. 0:32:01.160 --> 0:32:03.960 So that's why you need but I give it. 0:32:05.480 --> 0:32:08.000 I was hoping somebody to say something else. 0:32:09.600 --> 0:32:09.719 Here. 0:32:09.840 --> 0:32:10.000 Now. 0:32:10.160 --> 0:32:12.280 This is just like when you know, like Bobby Brown 0:32:12.320 --> 0:32:13.800 did mister telephone man, that's him. 0:32:14.280 --> 0:32:24.000 Mister telephan up the middle.

You see it all the time. 0:35:51.280 --> 0:35:53.000 The guys that you wouldn't even think we're about to 0:35:53.000 --> 0:35:55.960 get extensions are talking about getting extensions or deals, whatever 0:35:56.000 --> 0:35:56.560 the case may be. 0:35:57.040 --> 0:35:58.719 You'll just hear it pop up one day. Oh man, 0:35:58.880 --> 0:35:59.399 you got paid. 0:35:59.640 --> 0:36:01.719 Yeah, that's because when you look at it, you know, 0:36:01.800 --> 0:36:04.200 in the locker room, guys don't really you know. 0:36:04.280 --> 0:36:05.800 Count each other's pocket They're not really you know what 0:36:06.040 --> 0:36:07.080 you're getting. Are you talking that? 0:36:07.160 --> 0:36:09.560 You're talking that that's kind of a sacred bond that 0:36:09.640 --> 0:36:11.520 you don't count anybody else's pockets in there. 0:36:11.640 --> 0:36:14.000 So the players hear about it, you know, just like 0:36:14.080 --> 0:36:15.239 when the media hears about it. 0:36:15.360 --> 0:36:17.680 So you see it all the time and can't when 0:36:17.719 --> 0:36:19.600 it comes to getting guys getting paid in extensions. I 0:36:19.640 --> 0:36:21.880 mean Orlando Scandred, you know when I was here with him. 0:36:22.120 --> 0:36:23.560 I mean, I feel like he signed a new deal 0:36:23.680 --> 0:36:25.759 every year. You know, he was getting read up on something. 0:36:25.840 --> 0:36:28.320 So you know, it happens all the time. And hopefully 0:36:28.320 --> 0:36:30.200 they can get this thing done with CD, because you know, 0:36:30.239 --> 0:36:32.200 without him, I mean, you're looking at what you know, 0:36:32.320 --> 0:36:34.839 Hunter lim Key, you know fergusoning those guys. 0:36:34.840 --> 0:36:36.759 I mean, that's gonna be the offense. That's gonna be 0:36:36.800 --> 0:36:47.719 the offense. So we'll see. I can't believe it's gonna 0:36:47.719 --> 0:36:50.279 be a good year. Non believers out here, Yes, a 0:36:50.320 --> 0:36:52.759 lot of non believers out here. You don't want to book. 0:36:52.960 --> 0:36:54.720 You don't want to read the book of Lympy. That's okay, 0:36:56.200 --> 0:36:56.799 love for the water. 0:36:57.480 --> 0:37:01.040 For CD, he's young and man, he's got a lot 0:37:01.200 --> 0:37:03.400 more contracts to sign, and so this is this is 0:37:03.480 --> 0:37:06.680 one of those opportunities, rare opportunities that guys get to 0:37:06.760 --> 0:37:08.680 go to the bank and actually open the vault and 0:37:08.719 --> 0:37:11.360 get paid. And he's put the he's put the work in, 0:37:11.840 --> 0:37:15.480 and it's just it's weird when from the outside looking in, 0:37:15.600 --> 0:37:17.480 all those people ask like, what are the cowboys doing? 0:37:17.520 --> 0:37:18.080 What are they doing? 0:37:18.120 --> 0:37:19.799 I mean, because this is what you want from your 0:37:19.880 --> 0:37:22.600 homegrown players. You want to draft the guy, see him 0:37:22.640 --> 0:37:25.719 develop into to that, and you want to pay him accordingly. 0:37:26.120 --> 0:37:27.480 The pickle that the Cowboys in. 0:37:27.520 --> 0:37:29.239 That they draft a lot of good players that they 0:37:29.280 --> 0:37:31.439 have to put pay at the top of the market. 0:37:31.520 --> 0:37:32.919 You don't have any B level guys. 0:37:33.000 --> 0:37:35.640 All of these guys we're talking about are a list guys, 0:37:35.680 --> 0:37:38.880 and Ceedee Lamb is definitely uh. It needs to be 0:37:39.040 --> 0:37:42.759 mentioned in the same breath as those justin Jefferson's Davante out. 0:37:42.800 --> 0:37:45.239 He needs to be there because the numbers dictate that 0:37:45.440 --> 0:37:47.799 he should. The thing is going forward. You look at 0:37:47.840 --> 0:37:50.520 this offense and its not playing chicken where a mac 0:37:50.600 --> 0:37:53.000 truck gets from the front office. You got to have 0:37:53.200 --> 0:37:55.640 him at the beginning of the season. So no matter 0:37:55.719 --> 0:37:57.799 how you look at it, you can't make this contentious 0:37:58.000 --> 0:38:00.640 contentious enough that he has a it is. It says 0:38:00.680 --> 0:38:03.120 I'm gonna stay out and you guys just figured out 0:38:03.480 --> 0:38:06.759 Emmett Smith. It is a classic example of a guy 0:38:06.840 --> 0:38:08.920 that just said, look, I ain't coming back until the 0:38:08.960 --> 0:38:11.360 deal gets done. And what happened to the Cowboys have 0:38:11.440 --> 0:38:14.640 to lose a few games two for them to say 0:38:14.880 --> 0:38:20.080 I let's go ahead and get this pushed over to 0:38:20.160 --> 0:38:21.759 your image. So you could get that sign I just 0:38:21.800 --> 0:38:24.800 think that, Ceed Lamb, And I'm just going back to 0:38:24.880 --> 0:38:28.080 the beginning of the season. Those first four games, he 0:38:28.280 --> 0:38:31.560 really didn't make an impact. And so if he was 0:38:31.719 --> 0:38:34.799 even able to have ae hundred yard two hundred yard, 0:38:34.840 --> 0:38:38.160 I mean you're talking about that seventeen hundred yards possibly 0:38:38.320 --> 0:38:41.239 being a two thousand yard season the way that he 0:38:41.440 --> 0:38:45.480 came on. And so look, I think whatever number he's mentioning, 0:38:45.640 --> 0:38:49.279 it starts at thirty five. Gotta be starts at thirty five. 0:38:49.520 --> 0:38:51.440 And I don't know what the structure of the deal is. 0:38:51.480 --> 0:38:53.560 If he's looking at the three year, four whatever it is, 0:38:53.840 --> 0:38:56.800 it's all funny money anyway. He just hey, give me 0:38:56.920 --> 0:39:02.640 the sign up on this down. Oh god, this is 0:39:02.760 --> 0:39:05.320 this is crazy. So got to get that deal done. 0:39:07.239 --> 0:39:08.040 Ceedee Lamb. 0:39:08.840 --> 0:39:10.800 And you go back and you think about that draft 0:39:11.480 --> 0:39:13.200 and the receivers that were taken in the first round. 0:39:13.360 --> 0:39:15.840 The first receiver off the board, John Gruton and the 0:39:15.880 --> 0:39:17.960 Raiders took Henry Ruggs out of Alabama. 0:39:19.080 --> 0:39:20.400 Yeah. 0:39:21.360 --> 0:39:27.080 The second receiver off the board Jerry Judy from Alabama. 0:39:27.160 --> 0:39:29.839 Ruggs and Judy from Alabama, they both on national championship teams. 0:39:29.880 --> 0:39:30.480 Denver took him. 0:39:30.960 --> 0:39:33.080 He's no longer with the Broncos, and Rugs ended up 0:39:33.320 --> 0:39:37.239 losing his career through through off the field stuff. So 0:39:38.360 --> 0:39:40.560 Ruggs gone out of the league, Judy no longer with 0:39:40.600 --> 0:39:44.840 the Broncos. Then you add Ceedee Lamb Cowboys taking him seventeen. 0:39:46.880 --> 0:39:51.879 Jalen Rager gets taken. God, he still he's no longer 0:39:51.920 --> 0:39:55.680 with the Equals, no longer with the he was on 0:39:55.760 --> 0:39:58.160 somebody's seen last might have been with Minnesota. He might 0:39:58.200 --> 0:40:02.760 have been with Minnesota last year. And then Jefferson Mm hmm. 0:40:03.440 --> 0:40:05.040 That was a miss. That was a miss. 0:40:05.400 --> 0:40:08.200 So you think about the too. Yeah, these two receivers 0:40:08.239 --> 0:40:09.480 in the back end. And of course you know the 0:40:09.560 --> 0:40:13.360 Philly fans are mad as heck about uh Jalen Rager 0:40:14.280 --> 0:40:16.040 and and uh because I. 0:40:16.080 --> 0:40:17.120 Guess the tape is. 0:40:19.320 --> 0:40:21.600 And it was because interesting because zim zim was there 0:40:21.600 --> 0:40:23.520 at the time, Mike zimmer cow was out of defensive coordinator. 0:40:23.719 --> 0:40:27.000 I guess they laughed. There's video like they laughed about Phil. 0:40:28.040 --> 0:40:29.319 And then they're like turn the. 0:40:29.360 --> 0:40:32.520 Guard and we're taking jeff and and and then to think, yes, 0:40:32.640 --> 0:40:35.040 just think about the you know, two guys to Alabama. 0:40:35.520 --> 0:40:38.759 Alabama guys were good. Now make sure they were good. 0:40:39.000 --> 0:40:42.759 Ruggs was amazing down to Julie, I thought was better 0:40:42.800 --> 0:40:43.280 than Druggs. 0:40:44.120 --> 0:40:47.719 But at this level, this pro level, wow, I mean, 0:40:47.800 --> 0:40:50.400 you know, first of all, I did think that Lamb 0:40:50.600 --> 0:40:52.719 was miscast, Like, okay, what a guy's looking at me? 0:40:52.800 --> 0:40:54.440 This was he was a great player. You know, he 0:40:54.520 --> 0:40:57.200 had hurt me. He was a great player, uh at Oklahoma. 0:40:57.280 --> 0:41:00.800 But it was just very surprising and to Church and 0:41:00.880 --> 0:41:03.440 I at that time we were doing the podcast, we 0:41:03.560 --> 0:41:05.759 did our mock. We had said the Cowboys need to 0:41:05.880 --> 0:41:10.840 use that pick on Trayvonn all about yes, we were 0:41:10.880 --> 0:41:13.360 all because they needed a corner. We're all about digs. 0:41:13.400 --> 0:41:16.319 But then it's right there. And so the Cowboys did 0:41:16.400 --> 0:41:18.239 the smart thing, even with a Mario Cooper Roun. They 0:41:18.280 --> 0:41:23.399 took Ceedee Lamb and then lucky enough dan Quinn took 0:41:23.480 --> 0:41:25.319 a j I can't remember his name, but they took 0:41:25.360 --> 0:41:27.480 the corner from Clemson instead of taking digs. 0:41:27.520 --> 0:41:29.239 And then Diggs falls in the second round. 0:41:29.239 --> 0:41:31.759 The Cowboys get Lamb and digs and you talk about 0:41:31.880 --> 0:41:34.520 just too slam dunk, uh, you know too all pro 0:41:35.320 --> 0:41:36.280 two all pro picks. 0:41:36.719 --> 0:41:38.400 I don't know if you guys have gotten an opportunity 0:41:38.440 --> 0:41:40.280 to see that show receiver. 0:41:41.560 --> 0:41:42.920 Yes, check it out. 0:41:43.239 --> 0:41:45.799 Yeah, I mean it is the way that they follow 0:41:45.840 --> 0:41:48.040 those guys and just kind of show their game and 0:41:48.120 --> 0:41:51.680 how they prep justin Jefferson is the real deal as 0:41:51.719 --> 0:41:54.040 a player, as a person, you know, and it just 0:41:54.160 --> 0:41:55.960 you couldn't help but fall in love with the kind 0:41:55.960 --> 0:41:58.439 of person that he is, his charisma as a person, 0:41:58.520 --> 0:42:00.560 but just the way that he prepared for the game. 0:42:00.640 --> 0:42:04.760 But you also see just his suddenness as as a player, 0:42:05.000 --> 0:42:08.560 and it knew you. You know, you've obviously been around 0:42:08.600 --> 0:42:12.040 the league so long you recognize, man that so many 0:42:12.120 --> 0:42:13.919 of the pundits and people that talk about the game 0:42:14.040 --> 0:42:16.840 never had that respect for slot receivers. It's always the 0:42:16.920 --> 0:42:19.399 guy that's furthest from the ball, that's your dog. Who 0:42:19.560 --> 0:42:23.040 the guys on the outside receiver one the Jerry Rice is, 0:42:23.080 --> 0:42:25.919 the Michael irvs. The guys that made their life out 0:42:26.040 --> 0:42:29.920 on an island. Now the NFL has changed, it's it's 0:42:30.000 --> 0:42:31.880 spread them out the best way you can. And if 0:42:31.920 --> 0:42:34.359 I can get my best player in the slot, I'm 0:42:34.400 --> 0:42:37.600 gonna misuse you on a linebacker or I'm gonna miss 0:42:37.680 --> 0:42:39.680 I mean, it's gonna be an adjustment problem. And I 0:42:39.760 --> 0:42:43.160 think that the offense of these offensive coordinators have gotten 0:42:43.320 --> 0:42:46.200 so smart and it's so layered in the way that 0:42:46.239 --> 0:42:49.200 they attack these defenses. When you have a Justin Jefferson 0:42:49.400 --> 0:42:52.239 who can be on a linebacker, who could be on 0:42:52.360 --> 0:42:56.440 a safety Ceedee lamb is. Look, he can't go anywhere 0:42:56.560 --> 0:42:59.920 but up because he's a mismatch. He's a matchup Night 0:43:00.200 --> 0:43:02.839 Mayor on the inside. And these guys are getting these 0:43:02.920 --> 0:43:05.920 big contracts off of playing in the slot, something that 0:43:06.000 --> 0:43:09.120 twenty years ago nobody would even you're a slot receiver. 0:43:09.280 --> 0:43:11.000 That's why you're getting it like that because you got 0:43:11.040 --> 0:43:12.200 Mike Lervian on the other side. 0:43:12.719 --> 0:43:15.520 What does Jefferson do with the quarterback change? That's going 0:43:15.600 --> 0:43:16.400 to be very interesting. 0:43:16.760 --> 0:43:20.160 Who got over there? Sam Donald and JJJ McCarthy. 0:43:21.040 --> 0:43:22.719 He showed you last year though he played with some 0:43:22.880 --> 0:43:26.279 some tomato cans for sure last year and still you know, 0:43:26.440 --> 0:43:27.600 it was relatively good. 0:43:27.680 --> 0:43:30.000 We saw Davante Adams with the Raiders. Oh, he's being 0:43:30.080 --> 0:43:32.680 punished with Jimmy Garoppolo. He did something in his past life. 0:43:34.080 --> 0:43:35.600 I'm not going to ruin the show for you, but 0:43:35.680 --> 0:43:36.920 you got it. Yeah, but I. 0:43:39.000 --> 0:43:41.960 Go back into just looking at the Cowboys now at 0:43:41.960 --> 0:43:44.319 a certain point time, if you're Dak Prescott and your 0:43:44.360 --> 0:43:46.279 CD LAMB and yes you want to get what you 0:43:46.400 --> 0:43:50.080 feel you deserve, but you've got a good combination, right, 0:43:50.239 --> 0:43:53.239 yes you do. I would take that into consideration for 0:43:53.360 --> 0:43:55.319 both parties of Hey man, look, you want your bread. 0:43:55.360 --> 0:43:56.040 I want my bread. 0:43:56.080 --> 0:43:59.120 But let's not try to take so much bread that 0:43:59.320 --> 0:44:01.680 we break the US up. Shaquillo knew how a great 0:44:01.719 --> 0:44:04.000 thing I was watching on on one of his podcasts 0:44:04.040 --> 0:44:06.960 and he spoke about how he wished he'd taken a 0:44:07.000 --> 0:44:10.320 little less to stay with Kobe Bryant even though he 0:44:10.400 --> 0:44:12.560 went to Miami with d Wade and win a championships. 0:44:12.560 --> 0:44:14.959 That I should have taken a little less was again 0:44:15.120 --> 0:44:15.960 not trying to church. 0:44:16.040 --> 0:44:20.760 You were in that situation. You don't do that, b Cemo. 0:44:24.320 --> 0:44:28.279 But I say, called Davante Adams, Hey, but he has that? 0:44:28.480 --> 0:44:29.319 How's that has all? 0:44:29.680 --> 0:44:31.719 You got? All that money all going past him? 0:44:31.719 --> 0:44:34.560 Because what you need you need to catch the ball 0:44:34.920 --> 0:44:37.000 and you need to get your stats to keep on going. 0:44:37.080 --> 0:44:39.520 Because I think all three of us would. 0:44:39.360 --> 0:44:43.239 Say the Davante's career that he's built so far is 0:44:43.560 --> 0:44:47.160 hall of fame worthy of considering. He's still got more 0:44:47.239 --> 0:44:50.239 to put, but he's putting together. It's like Zach Martz, like, hey, 0:44:50.280 --> 0:44:51.880 as you start to look at like, are you putting 0:44:51.920 --> 0:44:55.040 together something where they need to consider he has, but 0:44:55.200 --> 0:44:56.960 you don't have Aaron anymore. 0:44:56.800 --> 0:45:00.520 And your boy car is gone. Now what they got 0:45:00.560 --> 0:45:04.520 out there now O'Connell or something. Yeah, it's pretty bad, right. 0:45:04.520 --> 0:45:06.239 Right, So that's why I go back and just see 0:45:06.280 --> 0:45:09.839 thee lamb. I get one in the money. But if 0:45:09.880 --> 0:45:13.040 you took a little less and you dak, you took 0:45:13.040 --> 0:45:15.480 a little less so you could make sure you're playing 0:45:15.480 --> 0:45:19.480 with a top flight guy said, go have a conversation 0:45:19.560 --> 0:45:21.600 with Shaquille O'Neal about putting it. 0:45:21.680 --> 0:45:23.480 Anybody saying that, hey man, it's taking no twenty percent. 0:45:23.640 --> 0:45:26.280 We ain't saying going to become dollar general up here, 0:45:26.440 --> 0:45:29.600 you know. But I'm just saying be smart and make 0:45:29.680 --> 0:45:33.880 sure you get something because look at the monte and 0:45:33.920 --> 0:45:36.640 obviously you're telling us to watch the receiver to go 0:45:36.719 --> 0:45:39.439 see it. Okay, See it's frustrating, all right, fun stuff Jazz, 0:45:39.480 --> 0:45:43.640 appreciate you, Chris Bean, Joshi heckman Man, good stuff here, 0:45:43.920 --> 0:45:44.359 Barry Church. 0:45:44.400 --> 0:45:46.319 I'm players that we're going to talk to you tomorrow. Okay, 0:45:46.360 --> 0:45:48.719 let's do this again tomorrow. Tomorrow, tomorrow. 0:45:48.800 --> 0:45:52.120 Right here, two PI, right here, Dallas Comrading. 0:45:53.040 --> 0:45:56.000 This has been a production of dallascowboys dot Com and 0:45:56.200 --> 0:45:58.000 the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
