Speaker 5: Barry Church for Cowboys safety, heck Ma Harrison is new.
Speaker 5: He scrugs. Okay, Cowboys with.
Speaker 4: Real football practice today, sir, practice, no more underwear Olympics,
Speaker 4: no more just helmets or just helmets and short of pans.
Speaker 4: We're gonna put on paths. We're gonna pop, We're gonna hit.
Speaker 4: And this to me is where we start to find
Speaker 4: out the most important questions, at least for me. How
Speaker 4: are they going to look on the offensive and defensive minds?
Speaker 4: This is where the game is. One gentleman, you've got
Speaker 4: to be good there. So Church, you take us through
Speaker 4: what is a first padded practice, Like after you've done
Speaker 4: all the oldtas and the mini can't to play play
Speaker 4: and even the first play play Now we got the
Speaker 4: real deal.
Speaker 6: Now, the first pad of practice, it's always super hype,
Speaker 6: always super hype. Everybody's you know, been itching to get
Speaker 6: the pads on. You see guys that as can't progresses.
Speaker 6: You know, people get into that locker room later and
Speaker 6: later before practice starts. But for that first pad of practice,
Speaker 6: people are there thirty minutes earlier. Man, go make sure
Speaker 6: my straps are good. They going to Big Mike's equipment
Speaker 6: room over there, making sure their gloves fit, shoes are
Speaker 6: fitting right.
Speaker 5: Everything.
Speaker 6: Everybody got their swag together, and everybody's hyped up to
Speaker 6: go out there and play. And then when you get
Speaker 6: out there, you know, of course you got your individual
Speaker 6: you got all your walkthroughs and stuff. But when the
Speaker 6: real paths start to get popping them and you can
Speaker 6: hear it, especially from that offensive line, deepensive line, when
Speaker 6: they're over there doring, you know, their trench work all years,
Speaker 6: pop pop, and then usually what happens. I mean this
Speaker 6: has been I've been on two teams in my you know,
Speaker 6: my nine years in the NFL, and usually that first
Speaker 6: day of practice there's always gonna be some type of
Speaker 6: scrap because somebody went too hard on somebody.
Speaker 5: Else and they're like, no, we can't do that.
Speaker 6: And it's usually the offensive deeps of the lineman because
Speaker 6: they're hit twenty four seven, they're going out in twenty
Speaker 6: four seven.
Speaker 5: Somebody's hand with in the face mask or something like
Speaker 5: that happens.
Speaker 6: But the first day of padded practice it's always one
Speaker 6: of the funnest because you got the most energy. So
Speaker 6: every play just like, yeah, let's get it, let's get
Speaker 6: it now. As camp goes on, people are like, man,
Speaker 6: I'm tired of hitting these people. I'm tired of let's
Speaker 6: get some exactly. Let's get to the regular season. But
Speaker 6: that first padded practice, man, it's it's always legit. And
Speaker 6: I always remember my was it when I first really
Speaker 6: met for Lando mcclan I think it was twenty fourteen.
Speaker 5: He when he came over, Sean.
Speaker 6: Lee had went down, and you know, everybody's like, oh, man,
Speaker 6: we're gonna get the linebacker position. And then that first
Speaker 6: padded practice, you know, everybody's kind of thudding up a
Speaker 6: little bit, and I don't know what got into my man,
Speaker 6: but young undrafted wide receiver by the name of Tim
Speaker 6: I forget his last name. He was number sixteen for
Speaker 6: the Cowboys what across the middle and Rolando it might
Speaker 6: have been the hardest hit I've ever seen in my life.
Speaker 6: Took the man's helmet off. He had his little jersey up,
Speaker 6: so the straps on the shoulder pads was going this
Speaker 6: way and that way, and I'm like, oh, we got
Speaker 6: a thumper in the middle. Right.
Speaker 5: It turned out that he was a pretty good player
Speaker 5: out there.
Speaker 6: But I'm telling you, man, that first padded practice, I mean,
Speaker 6: it's the most energy.
Speaker 5: You'll see all the cap I love to hear that, man.
Speaker 6: I mean those stories about those first padded practices, you
Speaker 6: know that these guys are waiting to get into it
Speaker 6: all OTAs, especially for the offensive lineman defensive linemen. They're
Speaker 6: the ones that really can't get any work at all
Speaker 6: because everything is simulated. And look, how can you it's
Speaker 6: not simulated where you're hitting, So how do you get
Speaker 6: that with real work?
Speaker 7: And yeah, we can run seven on seven off you
Speaker 7: want to. You can bump all that if you get
Speaker 7: all the yak you want to, But it really comes
Speaker 7: down to really those iceol plays, and that's like the linebackers,
Speaker 7: the defensive lineman, all those people, they are ready to
Speaker 7: really I mean, you can't even get ready for the
Speaker 7: season until you get that first little, you know, touch
Speaker 7: of contact, you know, And it's just so many guys
Speaker 7: on this team right now knew it that you know. Man,
Speaker 7: it's gonna come down to how rough and rugged they
Speaker 7: can be, because after all these last couple of seasons,
Speaker 7: that's been the biggest thing about the Cowboys that people
Speaker 7: been the biggest question mark toughness. Where's the toughness of
Speaker 7: this team? And I think the NFL is basically legislated
Speaker 7: a lot of it out. I think it's something like
Speaker 7: sixteen padded practices or.
Speaker 5: Something like that. Where it used to be back for
Speaker 5: it was gladiated school, and you don't have that anymore.
Speaker 7: So now these padded practices, the importance of them has
Speaker 7: like doubled with how important it is to put those
Speaker 7: pads on to really see the identity of a lot
Speaker 7: of these guys.
Speaker 4: Maximizing and look, let's just be honest, Okay, the Cowboys
Speaker 4: have done a fantastic job of winning a lot of
Speaker 4: regular seats of games. When we go back and we
Speaker 4: start to look at the losses that they've had, it's
Speaker 4: been against good teams, and it's been against teams where
Speaker 4: we talk about popping pads in the middle of You
Speaker 4: look at the Buffalo game last year, Francisco game, you
Speaker 4: look at the Green Bay game, and you say, okay,
Speaker 4: when you talk about the toughness, this is where you
Speaker 4: get tough.
Speaker 5: This is where you must be tough. One player.
Speaker 4: And by the way, they're going to have their first
Speaker 4: practice here in about fifteen minutes out knocks on California.
Speaker 4: I want to see what center brock Hoffman has. Okay, Okay,
Speaker 4: brock Hoffman is a guy who played so last year. Yes,
Speaker 4: they drafted Cooper b b out of Kansas State. But
Speaker 4: if I'm brock Hoffman, I'm up in here. You got
Speaker 4: to take this from me. That's how I would look
Speaker 4: at He's running with the first team right now, so
Speaker 4: as Pats pop, let's see what he can do. We
Speaker 4: all need to see exactly what Tyler Guidon the left
Speaker 4: haack of what can he do? We all all waiting
Speaker 4: on and see what they're gonna get out of Mozzie Smith,
Speaker 4: last year's first.
Speaker 5: Say he's ready. Look this is okay, all.
Speaker 4: Of this has been play play Okay, I'll do just
Speaker 4: rubbing up on each other, you know, right right, you know,
Speaker 4: swim past the guy. You know now he's hitting, okay,
Speaker 4: And for me, that's what I want to see. I
Speaker 4: want to see what these guys are going to do,
Speaker 4: because if this team is going to do anything, they
Speaker 4: must be good in the trenches on both sides of
Speaker 4: the well.
Speaker 7: You bring up a great point on brock Hoffman, and
Speaker 7: there have to be some confidence in him to be
Speaker 7: able to let Tyler be Idish walk. Let's just be honest,
Speaker 7: there I mean, and there always has been nothing you
Speaker 7: don't think so I think it was ten million dollars.
Speaker 7: A lot of those decisions make themselves right.
Speaker 4: It is nothing against Tyler be Okay, good football player,
Speaker 4: ten million dollars football player?
Speaker 5: Hey man, good luck you dq you know, flights a year?
Speaker 1: Right?
Speaker 5: But he did you think?
Speaker 8: No?
Speaker 7: I really look, here's the thing I think, for for
Speaker 7: a very long time here in Dallas, they've done everything
Speaker 7: to keep the nucleus of a good offensive line and
Speaker 7: they and they paid guys that have been players. Again,
Speaker 7: can you point to Tyler biadis ten million dollars worth
Speaker 7: not so much? And so brock Kaufman is really pushed
Speaker 7: in this position where like you said, man, it's his
Speaker 7: to lose. But in as you know, as the peking
Speaker 7: ught goes and how your draft arter goes, and how
Speaker 7: you're being paid and how they're forecasting you into the future,
Speaker 7: BB is someone that they are saying, look, you could
Speaker 7: be the future here at this position. Second season here
Speaker 7: for brock Kaufman, and he has come in and spelled
Speaker 7: and with injuries and all of that, and.
Speaker 5: It's played really well, played really well.
Speaker 7: But I think it's going to come down to who
Speaker 7: is the guy in the middle, because you have to
Speaker 7: be the brain trust of that offensive line. You have
Speaker 7: to call protections. We know it's not just hiking the ball,
Speaker 7: so so much of that is going to be brock
Speaker 7: Kaufman has a leg up on the other side of
Speaker 7: BB because he's been in the system already for a year.
Speaker 5: So, like you said, it's his to lose, So go
Speaker 5: on flip on this one.
Speaker 4: I think about Terren Steele. Here's your starting right tackle.
Speaker 4: This guy wasn't drafted. So this team is showing you
Speaker 4: they're not afraid to give a guy an opportunity, especially
Speaker 4: on the offensive line that's undrafted. So it's not a
Speaker 4: stretch to say maybe he could pull this thing off,
Speaker 4: especially knowing Bebe's.
Speaker 5: Got to learn.
Speaker 4: I mean, you were undrafted right here, and so this
Speaker 4: is an organization that has no problem saying, if you
Speaker 4: can get it.
Speaker 6: Done, we'll play. Oh yeah, without a doubt. I mean
Speaker 6: the Cowboys they do great when it comes to undrafted guys.
Speaker 6: You're talking about the Miles Austin's of the world, to
Speaker 6: Tony Romols myself. I mean, there's Beasley, all those type
Speaker 6: of guys. They give opportunities to the Only thing what
Speaker 6: Hoffman is he's gonna have to go out there each
Speaker 6: and every practice and prove that he belongs with that
Speaker 6: first team.
Speaker 5: He's gonna have to show these coaches each and every day.
Speaker 6: Man, you know what that Hoffman he can pick up
Speaker 6: the blizz man, he can understand what protections are, he
Speaker 6: can help the quarterback.
Speaker 5: He's gonna have to do that each and every practice.
Speaker 5: When it comes to BB, they're gonna bring him along slow.
Speaker 6: He was a second round draft pick, so he's gonna
Speaker 6: have to have every opportunity to prove that he can't play.
Speaker 6: Because the scot team they don't want to feel like
Speaker 6: they're wrong, you know, so they're going to give him
Speaker 6: every opportunity out there to get that starting position.
Speaker 5: But Hoffman, he's going to have to make sure he
Speaker 5: plays his.
Speaker 6: Cards right and makes the right decisions almost each and
Speaker 6: every practice. Not saying he has to be perfect, but
Speaker 6: he's gonna have a lot less opportunities to mess up
Speaker 6: than a Zach Bibie with just because of the draft
Speaker 6: status and being undrafted versus the second rounder.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 7: Well, and then on the other side, for Hoffman, he
Speaker 7: has he has two really good players next to him.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, Smith and Martin. It really kind of makes
Speaker 5: the job a little bit easier.
Speaker 7: But I think for these coaches and his coaching staff,
Speaker 7: they're looking for who is more physical in the middle,
Speaker 7: who is going to be the guy because the running
Speaker 7: game is really what has been punished because you've been
Speaker 7: so weak in the middle of not having that guy
Speaker 7: that is that role breaker of offensive lineman, and so
Speaker 7: Cooper BB has a lot to make up to that regard.
Speaker 7: I mean, I think when they came out and they
Speaker 7: evaluated that guy, they evaluated him based off of his run,
Speaker 7: his ability to run block, his ability to get up
Speaker 7: to the second level for the center, that's the biggest thing.
Speaker 7: Can you get to the second level and it is tough.
Speaker 7: It is tough, but also helping on double teams and
Speaker 7: things like that. So I think I got my eyes
Speaker 7: on Cooper BB because I want to see how physical
Speaker 7: and can he translate what he did in college to
Speaker 7: the pros and been as physical as he was.
Speaker 4: I was at Kansas State a couple of times this
Speaker 4: year and and talk to some of the coaches. They
Speaker 4: had nothing but good things to say about the young man.
Speaker 4: So I think if you're a Cowboy fan, you should
Speaker 4: feel good about Cooper BB. But I come back into this,
Speaker 4: heck man, We've seen this so many times. Seventeen game season, man,
Speaker 4: guys are dropping. I mean, Zach Martin is time last year.
Speaker 4: We've seen several players. So whether Cooper BB's your starting
Speaker 4: center or Brock Coffin, the way the NFL is played today,
Speaker 4: you're going to need some people and you're going to
Speaker 4: you just can't have five. You need about eight to
Speaker 4: nine of these guys because you're gonna groll through them.
Speaker 4: So that's that's my other portion of you know, can
Speaker 4: Iron shopper and Iron? Can it get better? If it's
Speaker 4: Hoffin's first, maybe B becomes a little bit later that's
Speaker 4: okay too, but they are going to have to develop
Speaker 4: some depth here. And let me throw this out here,
Speaker 4: and we're going way way way. I haven't seen it,
Speaker 4: but just the contingencies we're talking about Tyler guiding at
Speaker 4: left hackle, let's just say it doesn't go the way
Speaker 4: they want to. He may need a little bit more time.
Speaker 4: If they had to put Tyler Smith out there at
Speaker 4: left tackle, BB's play guard. You could potentially put BB
Speaker 4: at left guard and put Hoffman at center. I mean,
Speaker 4: they're going to have to experience. That's what they're gonna
Speaker 4: do anyway. So every team you're going to have to
Speaker 4: throw out some experience about who's where or maybe instead
Speaker 4: of putting Coop BB left tick, maybe it's a boy
Speaker 4: tuma yoga right there.
Speaker 5: I mean, who's a better interior guy next?
Speaker 4: So there's there's combinations, and that's that's one thing I
Speaker 4: do miss about not being a camper, and as it's
Speaker 4: kind of what.
Speaker 5: Are they doing?
Speaker 2: Man?
Speaker 4: And I remember when just in like I'm nowhere near
Speaker 4: and comparing myself to these offensive linemen at the pro level,
Speaker 4: But I just remember the high school level when you
Speaker 4: just would mixing guys and just the communication and understanding
Speaker 4: how who's going to do what and where you go.
Speaker 4: It's a challenge and that's where I think the offensive
Speaker 4: line play because we always like to look at.
Speaker 5: The receivers and the running back but skill.
Speaker 4: Right, But that that challenge of having the mixing different
Speaker 4: guys and how you go about the learning aspect and working.
Speaker 4: You know, hey, if you you know, if you got
Speaker 4: Aaron Donald here, it's a whole little a whole little
Speaker 4: different about how we go run a play. So it's
Speaker 4: more said, a whole little different, you know. So as
Speaker 4: you're mixing guys in figured out who can handle who,
Speaker 4: that is a challenge, man.
Speaker 5: So I'm looking forward to that.
Speaker 7: Let me just let me just say this. I think
Speaker 7: that Tyler Geydon right now has a lot of pressure
Speaker 7: on it, all right, because of his drafts where he
Speaker 7: was drafted, but also each and every day he's going
Speaker 7: up against Michael Parsons and when you say iron shoppings, iron,
Speaker 7: there you have it. And if he can handle this
Speaker 7: matchup on an everyday basis, I think what I'm looking
Speaker 7: at is the first four games of the seasons, the
Speaker 7: past rushers that he has to face.
Speaker 5: I mean, he comes right out to shoot with Miles
Speaker 5: Garrett five. The last thing you.
Speaker 7: Wanted a rookie that be having seen guys fight over me,
Speaker 7: you know, waving other guys off to get on that side.
Speaker 8: You know.
Speaker 7: I just feel as though, as a contingency, it's good
Speaker 7: to have a guy like Tyler Smith that you know,
Speaker 7: has the experience, has the footwork, and has the toughness.
Speaker 7: But I think what he's shown you is that man,
Speaker 7: he's a guard. He's a left guard. I've been fighting
Speaker 7: for him to go play left tackle. But I think
Speaker 7: that the front office and everybody else has seen like
Speaker 7: this guy has really hell to deal with in the
Speaker 7: middle of this offensive line. And if we can bring
Speaker 7: in a guy like Chuman Doga or bring a tight
Speaker 7: end and set him out there on that side, we
Speaker 7: will be better served than to move Tyler Smith out.
Speaker 4: There's first five games in year at Cleveland, home against
Speaker 4: New Orleans, home against Baltimore, a Thursday night game at
Speaker 4: the Giants, and then game number five at Pittsburgh.
Speaker 5: You talked about past rushers nothing. What I said, Oh
Speaker 5: my goodness, he's padded.
Speaker 4: Practices matter because you've got to start to figure out
Speaker 4: what you've got and you talk about being tough, you
Speaker 4: better be tough here.
Speaker 7: I heard an interview with Tyler Whiscus with Guyton, and
Speaker 7: he said, I didn't take a vacation this summer.
Speaker 5: I didn't go.
Speaker 7: I'm like, that's a smart man. He know what he
Speaker 7: has on his plate, sense of going to cans in
Speaker 7: France and all of that. You better be right here, buddy,
Speaker 7: lock in and.
Speaker 4: Back on what you said about Guy One of the
Speaker 4: one of the smartest things he could do is really
Speaker 4: just go Tyler asking Tyler Smith, because remember when he
Speaker 4: was drafted, a lot of people are like, wait a minute,
Speaker 4: it's guy. Nobody held more than in college football than
Speaker 4: him from Tulsa. I mean, there were so many people
Speaker 4: were just down and that young man, and he's been
Speaker 4: nothing but fantastic.
Speaker 5: That's true.
Speaker 4: So I would attach myself to him in terms of, Okay,
Speaker 4: we're playing next to each other.
Speaker 6: What do we do?
Speaker 5: How do I get better?
Speaker 4: You guys played college football, Heck, you played k State,
Speaker 4: North Texas, Barry you played Toledo, played in the NFL.
Speaker 4: But I just think along the way in any profession,
Speaker 4: find out who's good.
Speaker 5: You got what you do? How do I do what
Speaker 5: you're able to last this long.
Speaker 6: I mean, you gotta make sure you get to a
Speaker 6: veteran and make sure that pick his brain a little bit.
Speaker 6: I mean that's what I always did when I first
Speaker 6: got here with Gerald Sensibl was my you know, veteran,
Speaker 6: the guy that kind of taught me how to do
Speaker 6: this and that and recoverage all that good stuff. So
Speaker 6: you gotta make sure you hit to get a veteran
Speaker 6: in there. But I mean, what helped Tyler Smith so
Speaker 6: much was he had, you know, a Hall of Famer
Speaker 6: next to him. You know, hopefully that rubbed the lot
Speaker 6: off on him and so now he can help the
Speaker 6: next generation.
Speaker 5: But we shall see. That's a that's a big shooter,
Speaker 5: feel no, it is.
Speaker 7: And Tyler Smith is definitely the guy. He's man, and
Speaker 7: I'm so impressed by him every time I see him
Speaker 7: in an interview, just to wa how articulate he is
Speaker 7: as a young man. But also that's smartness and just
Speaker 7: kind of taking that guy under his wing and saying, look, man,
Speaker 7: this is this is how the NFL works, this is
Speaker 7: how play works, this is how you break down film
Speaker 7: with guys. Because he's gonna have to become a student
Speaker 7: of the game. When you're six seven, six eight and
Speaker 7: you're just used to being able to stick your arm
Speaker 7: out there and keep a guy distance, then okay, that
Speaker 7: works all right. That works against an Iowa State. That's
Speaker 7: not gonna work against Miles Garrett. That's not gonna work
Speaker 7: against t. J.
Speaker 2: Watt.
Speaker 7: It's a whole nother ball game when you have that
Speaker 7: kind of athleticism across from you.
Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, it's tough, which.
Speaker 4: Mean you don't need to run the ball. Let's let's
Speaker 4: let's take a break. Let's take our first break, because
Speaker 4: as we're talking about the past rushers and the offensive line,
Speaker 4: the result needs to be a running game. How do
Speaker 4: we feel about who's running the ball in that whole
Speaker 4: running back room.
Speaker 5: We'll do that.

Speaker 4: offensive defensive lines can do. Yes, we know the Cowboys
Speaker 4: in the playoffs have been put out the last two
Speaker 4: years by teams who could run the football Green Bay,
Speaker 4: San Francisco. What about the Cowboys ability to run the football.
Speaker 4: That's the importance of the offensive line. And now the
Speaker 4: running back room kind of goes back to the future
Speaker 4: where here's Ezekiel Elliet. Yeah, not Zeke, fresh from Ohio
Speaker 4: State and Zeke but you know, little tread on a tire,
Speaker 4: fresh from playing for Bill Belichick in New England.
Speaker 5: And so now he's back. Yeah, we should not. It's
Speaker 5: like Klay.
Speaker 4: Thompson coming to the Mavericks. Don't expect to see splash
Speaker 4: brother Clay.
Speaker 5: No, that's not who you get.
Speaker 4: This is not Zeke. You know, feeds it. This is
Speaker 4: you know we you know, Zeke's like that older dog
Speaker 4: you have. Now we're give him the weight management food.
Speaker 5: You just go we've held. No, we feed a little differently.
Speaker 5: We watch it. This weight, we take it care of it.
Speaker 5: We can't get anybody dog a little bit, you know.
Speaker 4: So that look, if he's not gonna kill tote the
Speaker 4: ball twenty times game, he's not gonna run for fifteen
Speaker 4: hundred yard. We're not looking for that from Ezekiel, I
Speaker 4: think that would be unfair. Can he give you fifteen
Speaker 4: fifteen touches a game and pick up the blitz and
Speaker 4: third and one, third and two converted?
Speaker 5: That's what you need.
Speaker 4: It's like now when I look at Klay Thompson for
Speaker 4: the Mavericks. Hey man, can this guy go give you
Speaker 4: fourteen to eighteen points a game?
Speaker 5: That can help you here? Yeah?
Speaker 4: Okay, because you'll you got Luca and Kyrie to do that.
Speaker 4: You got Dak, you got seen, you got people over here.
Speaker 4: Hey man, I just need to get your fifteen toes.
Speaker 4: Pick me up a third and two goal line score
Speaker 4: because goal line was brown last year. If he can
Speaker 4: do that, in my opinion, that's what I'm looking for
Speaker 4: from Zeke. What you're looking for?
Speaker 5: He well, Clay also plays defense, so I don't want
Speaker 5: to throw that in there as well. Not as good
Speaker 5: as you used to, but he still does way aitherway
Speaker 5: you need it. You need it on that team.
Speaker 7: Look warms my heart to see Ezekiel Elliott back in
Speaker 7: the Cowboys uniform. Now, we already had this discussion, Danny McCrae.
Speaker 7: We already have dinner on it, so there's no need
Speaker 7: to revisit this because the expectation of what he can
Speaker 7: do in his running back room, I think is going
Speaker 7: to be a lot better than what you saw last
Speaker 7: year with Tony Polller. I think Tony Poler he struggled
Speaker 7: throughout the season and that was the one deficiency in
Speaker 7: the offensive just synergy was his ability just to carry
Speaker 7: the running game. And it didn't matter if it was
Speaker 7: a running back by committee, ric O'Dowd or whoever it was,
Speaker 7: you just didn't have that tough inside runner. And you
Speaker 7: just alluded to the fact that there was in that
Speaker 7: short yardage game when we had those thirds and ones
Speaker 7: and we had those goal line experiences in Miami where
Speaker 7: we could not get into the goal. We just couldn't
Speaker 7: get across the goal line. We have that now, Now,
Speaker 7: how does that mix currently. I'm not looking for Zeke
Speaker 7: to be twenty sixteen Cie, but I am looking for
Speaker 7: Zeke to be that guy that can pick up quality
Speaker 7: yards and can also batter a defense. Ric o'dadell is
Speaker 7: gonna have to pick up the slack. You're gonna have
Speaker 7: to have a third guy in here as well. Yes,
Speaker 7: you're gonna have to add a third guy in here.
Speaker 7: Is what, Yes, you're gonna have to have a third
Speaker 7: guy in here as well, and it's gonna have to
Speaker 7: be one of those guys that can up the tempo.
Speaker 7: We asked last year it was all about, well man, Dak,
Speaker 7: you know, the running game ain't going took it and
Speaker 7: run with it, Dak?
Speaker 5: And what what did that show?
Speaker 7: Dak was like, Nope, nope, I'm an audible right out
Speaker 7: of that, and I'm gonna turn around and I'm gonna
Speaker 7: handleball to Tony Pollard.
Speaker 5: The running game wasn't there for us.
Speaker 7: And I mean, one way or another, we are going
Speaker 7: to have to brother running back by committee. We need
Speaker 7: at least fourteen to fifteen hundred yard of that room.
Speaker 7: And I don't see it.
Speaker 6: I don't see it at all. I don't see fifteen
Speaker 6: hundred yards out of that group. We're talking about a
Speaker 6: Royce Freeman, We're talking about Zeke my boy, Yeah, Rico Daddle,
Speaker 6: then forty Due. We were talking about that group of
Speaker 6: people right there, gonna give you fifteen hundred yards out
Speaker 6: that This to me reminds me a lot. And we
Speaker 6: talked about this, I think last week of the week
Speaker 6: before when we came in with that wide receiver corps
Speaker 6: with herds and the crew.
Speaker 5: Now we're doing with the wide receivers. Were doing it
Speaker 5: in the running back room. That's exactly what's going on
Speaker 5: right now.
Speaker 6: You telling me that group of people, that group of
Speaker 6: running backs, and looks he was a phenomenal running back
Speaker 6: when he first came. And like you said that, the
Speaker 6: tread is getting a little thin on that side. You
Speaker 6: think he's gonna he's gonna be able to carry the load.
Speaker 6: We've yet to see what Rico can do carrying the load.
Speaker 6: He was spelling Tony Poler last year.
Speaker 5: We don't know what Deuce is. Royce Freeman to me,
Speaker 5: this is I don't know, man, I don't, I don't,
Speaker 5: I don't. I don't see teen.
Speaker 7: Hundred yards in production yards. That's receiving as well. No, no, no, no,
Speaker 7: I'm Russian saying. I'm saying just I said Russian. So
Speaker 7: I'm gonna stay on that. All right. We got Ony
Speaker 7: eleven from Tony Pollard last season. I'm saying you needed
Speaker 7: more than that even from him. All right, you have
Speaker 7: to have more contributions, I think, and this is just
Speaker 7: right off the top. I think Rico Dada was something
Speaker 7: like two hundred and some yards and that's not that's
Speaker 7: that's not that's not gonna cut it. It's not gonna
Speaker 7: get it done. You have to be better to that
Speaker 7: regard this.
Speaker 6: This smells a lot like Dak passing it thirty five
Speaker 6: or forty five times, and.
Speaker 5: That's not gonna work. That's not gonna work. That's not
Speaker 5: what you need. So say this, man, say this number one.
Speaker 5: People will get cut. We do know this absolutely.
Speaker 4: So that's where Will McLay and company can go do
Speaker 4: their jobs.
Speaker 5: And they're very well. They do it very well.
Speaker 4: There's there's some teams out there who are going to
Speaker 4: have a surplus running back, so there will be a
Speaker 4: good player that you can go get.
Speaker 5: Number two.
Speaker 4: I said this before in the spring, and you two
Speaker 4: just gonna sit here act like I didn't say.
Speaker 5: So I say it again and I'm hearing it already.
Speaker 5: People that can't link man, that's right. Look, no, no, non,
Speaker 5: Mike McCarthy likes Hound of Linky. Somebody get this man
Speaker 5: off the.
Speaker 4: Airn liftkey just telling you man, okay, okay, honey, link
Speaker 4: youre too el boogie man, Okay, sleep on him if
Speaker 4: you want us, sleep on.
Speaker 5: Bookie. It won't be no fumble. There won't be no
Speaker 5: fumbling the one this time.
Speaker 4: Okay, Tucky tucking he got he's gonna You're gonna stop
Speaker 4: dropping rolling to the end zone.
Speaker 5: Okay, I'm just telling you right now. I'm here for it.
Speaker 4: Okay, this is what that's right, the running back group
Speaker 4: right by l Boogie listen, Hey you you checked better.
Speaker 5: Look out?
Speaker 4: Ah hey, they playing each other to this year San
Speaker 4: Francisco against the Cowboy lift.
Speaker 7: Okay, he had nineteen yards last year, is nowhere but
Speaker 7: up for him nineteen yards?
Speaker 4: Yeah, okay, so see see now if we can talk
Speaker 4: about Mazie coming back and doing something, we can see
Speaker 4: put some hopes and dreams on Mazie.
Speaker 7: Man can't get on. You won't so you won't let
Speaker 7: me sell my hope. I'm not gonna let you sell
Speaker 7: your I got premium hind my big MIC's behind this one. Okay, Yeah,
Speaker 7: trying to tell you, Okay on a lip key, look out,
Speaker 7: look out.
Speaker 6: If it was like Coon, like when when John come
Speaker 6: back with I can see put coon on the man
Speaker 6: you did who and I'm gonna stop. I gotta stop
Speaker 6: calling this man l but don't do it, Lifty nowhere're
Speaker 6: the same people.
Speaker 7: And if I'm going to have a player in that
Speaker 7: spot for Liftkey, I'm gonna and a half. That's that's
Speaker 7: ezekiel Elliott spot. That's that's where I need Zeke.
Speaker 4: Maybe they could do that together, run DMC together, forever,
Speaker 4: forever together hunt of Limkey and Zeke.
Speaker 7: That's your answer to that. You shot me down on
Speaker 7: the fifteenth. I said, fifteen hundred yards between three guys,
Speaker 7: and I got like I got four eyes over here.
Speaker 5: A link into that too. Okay, my bad, you're gonna
Speaker 5: get you something to a boogie. I'm just telling you
Speaker 5: nineteen last year, was that right about tober? What better?
Speaker 8: Was that?
Speaker 5: Right about? Still? Be better than your two? He took
Speaker 5: a jump? Okay, took a jump, didn't I tell you did?
Speaker 4: Just gonna get that same contract you did say that
Speaker 4: Limpy's gonna he's going to He's gonna be a factor here, man.
Speaker 5: I just tell you right now, set in the spring.
Speaker 4: I know I'm out there on this island by myself,
Speaker 4: but that's what you have to do. Sometimes you gotta
Speaker 4: go ahead and decide I'm gonna be out here like
Speaker 4: Prince Prince was out here out here by himself, wearing
Speaker 4: them crazy clothes and g strings and all that.
Speaker 5: Okay, look at him, look at it, the legend legend.
Speaker 4: I'm just telling you right now, I'm gonna put some
Speaker 4: faith in this man. Put some faith right here, Hunde Limkey,
Speaker 4: jump on the train if you want to.
Speaker 5: You can sit up here criticizing. That's okay. You got
Speaker 5: a lot of seats on that train, That's okay.
Speaker 4: I'm all right, man, all right. Jesus was by himself
Speaker 4: for a minutntil he found twelve. Right now, I'm gonna
Speaker 4: go get myself twelve. I'm gona get twelve l fuggy disciples.
Speaker 4: You're recruiting to day outside for the Book of Mike McCarthy.
Speaker 5: We're gonna leave that. Look. Look, I see where you're
Speaker 5: going with that, all right, I see where he's going
Speaker 5: with that.
Speaker 7: But I really, I really think that's the reason why
Speaker 7: you bring back in Ezekiel Elliott, because you understand I
Speaker 7: have faith in this guy. I've seen him do it before.
Speaker 7: He did it in New England. Okay, yes, well he
Speaker 7: did it in New England and I just didn't look
Speaker 7: for me, Barry that production that he had in New England. Boy,
Speaker 7: we sure needed that production. Last year.
Speaker 5: We gave that, we gave it away. And if he
Speaker 5: can mimic, if he could just mimic that. But what
Speaker 5: did he what did he do in New England? I
Speaker 5: was this what I'm saying, the real it was? What
Speaker 5: is what he could have done here? That I look
Speaker 5: at him the goal line? How many times we talked
Speaker 5: about that for the five yard line? They couldn't get
Speaker 5: something done.
Speaker 4: That's where you're looking at him back and show you
Speaker 4: take that with Zeke his ability and the improvement of Elboogie, I.
Speaker 5: Can't believe you lost by two and you know what
Speaker 5: this is.
Speaker 7: I'm gonna go back to something that that I know
Speaker 7: knew is always going to talk about the win percentage
Speaker 7: in the NFL. It's always, you know, two points or less.
Speaker 7: All right, that's it, all right. You lose a game
Speaker 7: by two points to the Dolphins. You have a game
Speaker 7: against the Bills where they're just running the ball. I
Speaker 7: mean it down your throat. Playoff game talked about that.
Speaker 7: You have a team that's just runaway freight train and
Speaker 7: you can't stop the bleeding because you don't have a
Speaker 7: running game to speak of. We have got to figure
Speaker 7: this out. I mean it's gonna that's one of those things.
Speaker 7: And I knew you guys were already on this train
Speaker 7: of the running running. Back room don't look too good,
Speaker 7: and I don't feel as confident in it as always
Speaker 7: have with having those you know, cornerstones in the running
Speaker 7: games sitting in that room.
Speaker 4: So that's why you need but I give it.
Speaker 5: I was hoping somebody to say something else.
Speaker 7: Here.
Speaker 6: Now.
Speaker 4: This is just like when you know, like Bobby Brown
Speaker 4: did mister telephone man, that's him.
Speaker 5: Mister telephan up the middle. Oh, somebody help. We got
Speaker 5: to take a break. When we come back.
Speaker 4: Some good news, some good, positive news that these brothers
Speaker 4: will be on board.

Speaker 4: rebuttal offer to the Cowboys on Sunday, courting Steve Jones.
Speaker 5: So there you go. There it is get the man signed.
Speaker 5: So they're working.
Speaker 4: They're trying to get the talk to Dak Prescott too,
Speaker 4: so they're they're exchanging.
Speaker 5: They're talking good.
Speaker 4: And as a former player, we've seen a lot of
Speaker 4: deals get done in training camp for.
Speaker 5: One hundred percent. You see it all the time.
Speaker 6: The guys that you wouldn't even think we're about to
Speaker 6: get extensions are talking about getting extensions or deals, whatever
Speaker 6: the case may be.
Speaker 5: You'll just hear it pop up one day. Oh man,
Speaker 5: you got paid.
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's because when you look at it, you know,
Speaker 6: in the locker room, guys don't really you know.
Speaker 5: Count each other's pocket They're not really you know what
Speaker 5: you're getting. Are you talking that?
Speaker 6: You're talking that that's kind of a sacred bond that
Speaker 6: you don't count anybody else's pockets in there.
Speaker 5: So the players hear about it, you know, just like
Speaker 5: when the media hears about it.
Speaker 6: So you see it all the time and can't when
Speaker 6: it comes to getting guys getting paid in extensions. I
Speaker 6: mean Orlando Scandred, you know when I was here with him.
Speaker 6: I mean, I feel like he signed a new deal
Speaker 6: every year. You know, he was getting read up on something.
Speaker 6: So you know, it happens all the time. And hopefully
Speaker 6: they can get this thing done with CD, because you know,
Speaker 6: without him, I mean, you're looking at what you know,
Speaker 6: Hunter lim Key, you know fergusoning those guys.
Speaker 5: I mean, that's gonna be the offense. That's gonna be
Speaker 5: the offense. So we'll see. I can't believe it's gonna
Speaker 5: be a good year. Non believers out here, Yes, a
Speaker 5: lot of non believers out here. You don't want to book.
Speaker 5: You don't want to read the book of Lympy. That's okay,
Speaker 5: love for the water.
Speaker 7: For CD, he's young and man, he's got a lot
Speaker 7: more contracts to sign, and so this is this is
Speaker 7: one of those opportunities, rare opportunities that guys get to
Speaker 7: go to the bank and actually open the vault and
Speaker 7: get paid. And he's put the he's put the work in,
Speaker 7: and it's just it's weird when from the outside looking in,
Speaker 7: all those people ask like, what are the cowboys doing?
Speaker 5: What are they doing?
Speaker 7: I mean, because this is what you want from your
Speaker 7: homegrown players. You want to draft the guy, see him
Speaker 7: develop into to that, and you want to pay him accordingly.
Speaker 5: The pickle that the Cowboys in.
Speaker 7: That they draft a lot of good players that they
Speaker 7: have to put pay at the top of the market.
Speaker 5: You don't have any B level guys.
Speaker 7: All of these guys we're talking about are a list guys,
Speaker 7: and Ceedee Lamb is definitely uh. It needs to be
Speaker 7: mentioned in the same breath as those justin Jefferson's Davante out.
Speaker 7: He needs to be there because the numbers dictate that
Speaker 7: he should. The thing is going forward. You look at
Speaker 7: this offense and its not playing chicken where a mac
Speaker 7: truck gets from the front office. You got to have
Speaker 7: him at the beginning of the season. So no matter
Speaker 7: how you look at it, you can't make this contentious
Speaker 7: contentious enough that he has a it is. It says
Speaker 7: I'm gonna stay out and you guys just figured out
Speaker 7: Emmett Smith. It is a classic example of a guy
Speaker 7: that just said, look, I ain't coming back until the
Speaker 7: deal gets done. And what happened to the Cowboys have
Speaker 7: to lose a few games two for them to say
Speaker 7: I let's go ahead and get this pushed over to
Speaker 7: your image. So you could get that sign I just
Speaker 7: think that, Ceed Lamb, And I'm just going back to
Speaker 7: the beginning of the season. Those first four games, he
Speaker 7: really didn't make an impact. And so if he was
Speaker 7: even able to have ae hundred yard two hundred yard,
Speaker 7: I mean you're talking about that seventeen hundred yards possibly
Speaker 7: being a two thousand yard season the way that he
Speaker 7: came on. And so look, I think whatever number he's mentioning,
Speaker 7: it starts at thirty five. Gotta be starts at thirty five.
Speaker 7: And I don't know what the structure of the deal is.
Speaker 7: If he's looking at the three year, four whatever it is,
Speaker 7: it's all funny money anyway. He just hey, give me
Speaker 7: the sign up on this down. Oh god, this is
Speaker 7: this is crazy. So got to get that deal done.
Speaker 5: Ceedee Lamb.
Speaker 4: And you go back and you think about that draft
Speaker 4: and the receivers that were taken in the first round.
Speaker 4: The first receiver off the board, John Gruton and the
Speaker 4: Raiders took Henry Ruggs out of Alabama.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 4: The second receiver off the board Jerry Judy from Alabama.
Speaker 4: Ruggs and Judy from Alabama, they both on national championship teams.
Speaker 5: Denver took him.
Speaker 4: He's no longer with the Broncos, and Rugs ended up
Speaker 4: losing his career through through off the field stuff. So
Speaker 4: Ruggs gone out of the league, Judy no longer with
Speaker 4: the Broncos. Then you add Ceedee Lamb Cowboys taking him seventeen.
Speaker 4: Jalen Rager gets taken. God, he still he's no longer
Speaker 4: with the Equals, no longer with the he was on
Speaker 4: somebody's seen last might have been with Minnesota. He might
Speaker 4: have been with Minnesota last year. And then Jefferson Mm hmm.
Speaker 5: That was a miss. That was a miss.
Speaker 4: So you think about the too. Yeah, these two receivers
Speaker 4: in the back end. And of course you know the
Speaker 4: Philly fans are mad as heck about uh Jalen Rager
Speaker 4: and and uh because I.
Speaker 5: Guess the tape is.
Speaker 4: And it was because interesting because zim zim was there
Speaker 4: at the time, Mike zimmer cow was out of defensive coordinator.
Speaker 4: I guess they laughed. There's video like they laughed about Phil.
Speaker 5: And then they're like turn the.
Speaker 4: Guard and we're taking jeff and and and then to think, yes,
Speaker 4: just think about the you know, two guys to Alabama.
Speaker 5: Alabama guys were good. Now make sure they were good.
Speaker 5: Ruggs was amazing down to Julie, I thought was better
Speaker 5: than Druggs.
Speaker 4: But at this level, this pro level, wow, I mean,
Speaker 4: you know, first of all, I did think that Lamb
Speaker 4: was miscast, Like, okay, what a guy's looking at me?
Speaker 5: This was he was a great player. You know, he
Speaker 5: had hurt me. He was a great player, uh at Oklahoma.
Speaker 4: But it was just very surprising and to Church and
Speaker 4: I at that time we were doing the podcast, we
Speaker 4: did our mock. We had said the Cowboys need to
Speaker 4: use that pick on Trayvonn all about yes, we were
Speaker 4: all because they needed a corner. We're all about digs.
Speaker 4: But then it's right there. And so the Cowboys did
Speaker 4: the smart thing, even with a Mario Cooper Roun. They
Speaker 4: took Ceedee Lamb and then lucky enough dan Quinn took
Speaker 4: a j I can't remember his name, but they took
Speaker 4: the corner from Clemson instead of taking digs.
Speaker 5: And then Diggs falls in the second round.
Speaker 4: The Cowboys get Lamb and digs and you talk about
Speaker 4: just too slam dunk, uh, you know too all pro
Speaker 4: two all pro picks.
Speaker 7: I don't know if you guys have gotten an opportunity
Speaker 7: to see that show receiver.
Speaker 5: Yes, check it out.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean it is the way that they follow
Speaker 7: those guys and just kind of show their game and
Speaker 7: how they prep justin Jefferson is the real deal as
Speaker 7: a player, as a person, you know, and it just
Speaker 7: you couldn't help but fall in love with the kind
Speaker 7: of person that he is, his charisma as a person,
Speaker 7: but just the way that he prepared for the game.
Speaker 7: But you also see just his suddenness as as a player,
Speaker 7: and it knew you. You know, you've obviously been around
Speaker 7: the league so long you recognize, man that so many
Speaker 7: of the pundits and people that talk about the game
Speaker 7: never had that respect for slot receivers. It's always the
Speaker 7: guy that's furthest from the ball, that's your dog. Who
Speaker 7: the guys on the outside receiver one the Jerry Rice is,
Speaker 7: the Michael irvs. The guys that made their life out
Speaker 7: on an island. Now the NFL has changed, it's it's
Speaker 7: spread them out the best way you can. And if
Speaker 7: I can get my best player in the slot, I'm
Speaker 7: gonna misuse you on a linebacker or I'm gonna miss
Speaker 7: I mean, it's gonna be an adjustment problem. And I
Speaker 7: think that the offense of these offensive coordinators have gotten
Speaker 7: so smart and it's so layered in the way that
Speaker 7: they attack these defenses. When you have a Justin Jefferson
Speaker 7: who can be on a linebacker, who could be on
Speaker 7: a safety Ceedee lamb is. Look, he can't go anywhere
Speaker 7: but up because he's a mismatch. He's a matchup Night
Speaker 7: Mayor on the inside. And these guys are getting these
Speaker 7: big contracts off of playing in the slot, something that
Speaker 7: twenty years ago nobody would even you're a slot receiver.
Speaker 7: That's why you're getting it like that because you got
Speaker 7: Mike Lervian on the other side.
Speaker 4: What does Jefferson do with the quarterback change? That's going
Speaker 4: to be very interesting.
Speaker 5: Who got over there? Sam Donald and JJJ McCarthy.
Speaker 7: He showed you last year though he played with some
Speaker 7: some tomato cans for sure last year and still you know,
Speaker 7: it was relatively good.
Speaker 5: We saw Davante Adams with the Raiders. Oh, he's being
Speaker 5: punished with Jimmy Garoppolo. He did something in his past life.
Speaker 5: I'm not going to ruin the show for you, but
Speaker 5: you got it. Yeah, but I.
Speaker 4: Go back into just looking at the Cowboys now at
Speaker 4: a certain point time, if you're Dak Prescott and your
Speaker 4: CD LAMB and yes you want to get what you
Speaker 4: feel you deserve, but you've got a good combination, right,
Speaker 4: yes you do. I would take that into consideration for
Speaker 4: both parties of Hey man, look, you want your bread.
Speaker 5: I want my bread.
Speaker 4: But let's not try to take so much bread that
Speaker 4: we break the US up. Shaquillo knew how a great
Speaker 4: thing I was watching on on one of his podcasts
Speaker 4: and he spoke about how he wished he'd taken a
Speaker 4: little less to stay with Kobe Bryant even though he
Speaker 4: went to Miami with d Wade and win a championships.
Speaker 4: That I should have taken a little less was again
Speaker 4: not trying to church.
Speaker 5: You were in that situation. You don't do that, b Cemo.
Speaker 4: But I say, called Davante Adams, Hey, but he has that?
Speaker 4: How's that has all?
Speaker 5: You got? All that money all going past him?
Speaker 4: Because what you need you need to catch the ball
Speaker 4: and you need to get your stats to keep on going.
Speaker 5: Because I think all three of us would.
Speaker 4: Say the Davante's career that he's built so far is
Speaker 4: hall of fame worthy of considering. He's still got more
Speaker 4: to put, but he's putting together. It's like Zach Martz, like, hey,
Speaker 4: as you start to look at like, are you putting
Speaker 4: together something where they need to consider he has, but
Speaker 4: you don't have Aaron anymore.
Speaker 5: And your boy car is gone. Now what they got
Speaker 5: out there now O'Connell or something. Yeah, it's pretty bad, right.
Speaker 4: Right, So that's why I go back and just see
Speaker 4: thee lamb. I get one in the money. But if
Speaker 4: you took a little less and you dak, you took
Speaker 4: a little less so you could make sure you're playing
Speaker 4: with a top flight guy said, go have a conversation
Speaker 4: with Shaquille O'Neal about putting it.
Speaker 5: Anybody saying that, hey man, it's taking no twenty percent.
Speaker 4: We ain't saying going to become dollar general up here,
Speaker 4: you know. But I'm just saying be smart and make
Speaker 4: sure you get something because look at the monte and
Speaker 4: obviously you're telling us to watch the receiver to go
Speaker 4: see it. Okay, See it's frustrating, all right, fun stuff Jazz,
