Speaker 1: thank you for sticking in there. It's been far too

12
00:00:56,960 --> 00:01:00,560
Speaker 1: long since Barry Church, Danny McCray and I knew he

13
00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:02,280
Speaker 1: Scruggs had a chance to talk to you. Now. The

14
00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:04,720
Speaker 1: Players Line is about these two fellows who played for

15
00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:08,600
Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys, Danny McCray and Barry Church. So Barry,

16
00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:10,720
Speaker 1: it's good to have you back. I'm gonna let you

17
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:12,640
Speaker 1: go ahead with your own personal state of the union

18
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:20,760
Speaker 1: as we've got the show back in order. I have

19
00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:23,800
Speaker 1: some Cowboys football to be exact, and I mean it's

20
00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:25,320
Speaker 1: just it's just a great feeling to be back. I mean,

21
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:27,240
Speaker 1: we've been doing nothing for the past couple of months,

22
00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:29,800
Speaker 1: learning new trades here and there, but it feels great

23
00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:31,399
Speaker 1: to be back talking ball with you boys. So I'm

24
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:37,360
Speaker 1: ready to get it started. McCray, I'm a second that man.

25
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:41,399
Speaker 1: I'm ecstatic. I'm ecstatic we get to talk about football.

26
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:43,920
Speaker 1: We've been locked down in quarantine for a while so

27
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:46,720
Speaker 1: just kind of looking for different things to do, and

28
00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:48,600
Speaker 1: now we got the players lowns back, so man, let's

29
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:50,720
Speaker 1: get this thing rolling. And I still haven't got my

30
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:54,960
Speaker 1: dinner from from News, but I understand why why you're late.

31
00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:57,840
Speaker 1: Thank you that I'm not late. I'm not late at all.

32
00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:01,480
Speaker 1: It's been quarantine time and missus mccraig is expecting a

33
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:03,360
Speaker 1: little one, so you and I don't need to be

34
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:06,120
Speaker 1: out face to face having dinner. So I'm not late.

35
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:09,200
Speaker 1: We just had to postpone it, okay because Dak did

36
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:14,080
Speaker 1: not sign the long term contract as expected, and uh yeah, yeah,

37
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:17,000
Speaker 1: so I owe you. I owe you some grub peple.

38
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:20,960
Speaker 1: Let's talk about the first camp practice for the Cowboys here, fellas,

39
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:24,359
Speaker 1: because Mike McCarthy got the guys out this morning at

40
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:27,520
Speaker 1: eight am. Ninety degrees at the star at Frisco. Let's

41
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:31,040
Speaker 1: start right out of the bat here with one CD Lamb,

42
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:34,240
Speaker 1: the Cowboys first round draft pick, taking number seventeen overall.

43
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:37,640
Speaker 1: He opened up at the slot wide receiver position. He

44
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:40,959
Speaker 1: ended up with a one handed grab that was very nice.

45
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:42,600
Speaker 1: If you haven't seen it, going over to my Twitter

46
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:47,000
Speaker 1: page Unwis scrubs, any Wy Scruggs or Dallas Cowboys dot Com.

47
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:50,080
Speaker 1: I put the picture up there, So fellas, your thoughts

48
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:52,760
Speaker 1: start with you first, Danny Cede Lamb opening up at

49
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:55,799
Speaker 1: that slot receiver with the stars. Yeah, man, I think

50
00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:57,680
Speaker 1: that's smart, and I also think that's the only place

51
00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:00,800
Speaker 1: that he fits. Um Gallop, you know, proved itself that

52
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:03,919
Speaker 1: he's capable of being being a top receiver last season,

53
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:05,920
Speaker 1: and we know Mark Cooper was going to be on

54
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:08,800
Speaker 1: the outside, so you know, it's natural for CD to

55
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:11,320
Speaker 1: be in the slot. And so I think him starting

56
00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:13,320
Speaker 1: out there and being able to learn that position and

57
00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 1: seeing what McCarthy wants him to do and how he

58
00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:19,240
Speaker 1: can be a playmaker is real good for them with

59
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:21,640
Speaker 1: this open and practice. And it's great that he may

60
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:23,160
Speaker 1: made that one hand catch, but I just want to

61
00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:28,280
Speaker 1: see it with those pads on. Man, it's a different game. Barry, Yeah, yeah,

62
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:30,560
Speaker 1: I gotta agree with Daniel hundred percent of this one.

63
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:33,359
Speaker 1: I feel as though the slot position is the spot

64
00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:35,440
Speaker 1: that CD's gonna learn for at least his rookie season.

65
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:37,640
Speaker 1: Like you said, you got Gallop out there who emerged

66
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:39,920
Speaker 1: as a as a great number two receiver out there

67
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:42,680
Speaker 1: who over a thousand yards, had multiple touchdowns. He played

68
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:45,040
Speaker 1: great last year. Hopefully he can duplicate that. And then

69
00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:47,000
Speaker 1: obviously we have our number one we've paid a boat

70
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:49,520
Speaker 1: to on the money money too, and Mark Cooper out there.

71
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:51,440
Speaker 1: So this is a place that CD was gonna fit.

72
00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 1: I don't think it's the easiest position for a rookie

73
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:56,560
Speaker 1: receiver to come in and transition into the NFL. It's

74
00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:58,520
Speaker 1: a slot. I mean, you got to be a very intelligent,

75
00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:01,119
Speaker 1: very quarterback friendly receiver when you're in a slot because

76
00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:02,880
Speaker 1: you gotta figure out where those zones are, where to

77
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:05,480
Speaker 1: sit down in between the zones and making your your

78
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:08,040
Speaker 1: position pretty much open for the quarterback. So it's kind

79
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:09,760
Speaker 1: of just having a second quarterback out there, kind of

80
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 1: like the tight end position. So it has to be

81
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:13,400
Speaker 1: extremely intelligent. So it's not going to be the easiest

82
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:16,440
Speaker 1: transition as playing rad receiver outside. But I think he

83
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:18,120
Speaker 1: can do it. And with his talent as we've seen

84
00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:19,840
Speaker 1: yesterday with that one day heard today with that one

85
00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:21,440
Speaker 1: hand and catch. I mean, he has all the talent

86
00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:22,640
Speaker 1: in the world. Let's just see if he can do

87
00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:25,520
Speaker 1: it with the pads on. All right, some other camp notes.

88
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:27,760
Speaker 1: Here's the Cowboys hit there had their first practice. Or

89
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:31,200
Speaker 1: to Mike McCarthy right tackle Al Collins, he didn't practice.

90
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:33,880
Speaker 1: He was off to the side, so Wyatt Miller was

91
00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:38,040
Speaker 1: the first team right starter. There no cam irving your

92
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:41,159
Speaker 1: thoughts on Collins not being there to practice but working

93
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:45,560
Speaker 1: out on the side. Yeah, I don't think. I don't

94
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:47,080
Speaker 1: think it's that big of a big of a deal.

95
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:50,080
Speaker 1: I man, it's practice number one. They don't really have

96
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:52,520
Speaker 1: pads on. It's really a footwork thing that's going on

97
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:55,560
Speaker 1: right now. So if there's any reason for him to

98
00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:57,520
Speaker 1: be safe and get in shape and make sure everything

99
00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 1: is loose enough for him to compete at a high level,

100
00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:02,760
Speaker 1: don't take a risk on it. It's day one, So

101
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:05,080
Speaker 1: I don't see it being a big deal, and it's

102
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:07,919
Speaker 1: probably good for those backup guys to get get a

103
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:10,440
Speaker 1: look at the first team reps anyways, because we all

104
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:12,080
Speaker 1: know what Lyle can do once he gets on the

105
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:15,320
Speaker 1: field as a start. Yeah, I agree with you there

106
00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:17,680
Speaker 1: once again. I mean, we all know Lyle's a he's

107
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:19,440
Speaker 1: a Pro Bowl caliber player. I think he should have

108
00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:21,680
Speaker 1: made it last year. But he's a Pro Bowl caliber player.

109
00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:24,160
Speaker 1: And it's day one, Like you said, there's no pass.

110
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:26,240
Speaker 1: They're kind of just installing or just getting in the

111
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:28,240
Speaker 1: in the float of the rhythm of things. I mean

112
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:30,440
Speaker 1: they just got back into camp there, you know, pretty

113
00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:32,359
Speaker 1: much just filling each other out right now. So if

114
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:33,839
Speaker 1: there's any time for him to you know, get a

115
00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:36,600
Speaker 1: couple of wins printing or get get some extra conditioning

116
00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:38,400
Speaker 1: in since he's not practicing, this would be the best

117
00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:40,479
Speaker 1: time to do it before they get into the whole

118
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:43,039
Speaker 1: nooks and crannies of the of the new offense putting

119
00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:44,760
Speaker 1: in and how he wants to block and how different

120
00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:47,520
Speaker 1: schemes need to be au solved. I think this is

121
00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:49,800
Speaker 1: an opportunity for him to get some extra cardio in

122
00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:51,919
Speaker 1: and um pretty much you know, get it in early

123
00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:53,520
Speaker 1: so it's not a big deal later on as a

124
00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:57,720
Speaker 1: camp progressive. Let's stay with the offensive line. Mike McCarthy

125
00:05:57,760 --> 00:05:59,560
Speaker 1: this week in the Cowboys State of the un said

126
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:02,600
Speaker 1: that car Williams was slowly working his way back, but

127
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:05,280
Speaker 1: here it is first practice. Carter Williams was out there

128
00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:07,159
Speaker 1: with the first team in left guard and then Joe

129
00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:11,320
Speaker 1: Looney ended up being the starting center right there, So, Danny,

130
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:13,679
Speaker 1: what do we make of that? Right there? Here's here's

131
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:15,760
Speaker 1: the coach saying, Carter Williams is going to be out

132
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:17,440
Speaker 1: here at all season knee surgery, and there he is

133
00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:21,280
Speaker 1: right there, ready to go. I'll tell you this, The

134
00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:25,000
Speaker 1: pandemic and COVID has changed changed these things. If this

135
00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:26,719
Speaker 1: was a normal camp, and it was and it was

136
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:29,560
Speaker 1: starting on time, and McCarthy said that, you could take

137
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:33,760
Speaker 1: it at face value, right, you would understand that they're

138
00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:35,560
Speaker 1: going out there, they're probably going to be moving fast

139
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:38,039
Speaker 1: and he needs to slow down coming off that knee surgery.

140
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:40,160
Speaker 1: But with it being as slow as it is and

141
00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:43,359
Speaker 1: walk through pace and moving slow and no pass I

142
00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:45,400
Speaker 1: don't think. I don't think it's a big worry for him.

143
00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:47,320
Speaker 1: So if he can go out there and he felt

144
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:48,880
Speaker 1: like he could get those reps and just get the

145
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:51,080
Speaker 1: movements in, then I think he'll be okay, but once

146
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:53,240
Speaker 1: they start moving a little faster, I think that's when

147
00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:58,360
Speaker 1: you'll see McCarthy kind of limited reps. Also note here

148
00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:00,760
Speaker 1: Barry Carter Williams is also where the knee brace too

149
00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:04,520
Speaker 1: when he was out there. H's that's perfect. Um, And

150
00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:07,960
Speaker 1: if I'm not mistaken, But Connor was injured last year. Correct. Yeah,

151
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:09,920
Speaker 1: he had the knee surgery in the offseason, so so

152
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:12,680
Speaker 1: he's trying to he's trying to get back. Yeah, he's

153
00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:13,920
Speaker 1: trying to get back. So oh yeah, Like I said,

154
00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:15,520
Speaker 1: I agree with Daniel on this one too. I mean

155
00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:17,640
Speaker 1: it's it's very slow paced, it's very kind of just

156
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:20,560
Speaker 1: kind of more mental reps than actually going out there physically.

157
00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:22,520
Speaker 1: So um, I can see them, you know, kind of

158
00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:24,840
Speaker 1: limiting his reps, wants to practice, push his back up.

159
00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:26,560
Speaker 1: But this is also a guy who, like you said,

160
00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:28,520
Speaker 1: last year, he was injured. He's trying to come back.

161
00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:30,000
Speaker 1: He's trying to be part of that main stay of

162
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:31,680
Speaker 1: that offensive line. So I can see him going out

163
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:33,400
Speaker 1: there saying, hey, I can do this walk through, I

164
00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:35,160
Speaker 1: can do it at this pace. Just let me go

165
00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:37,600
Speaker 1: out there and kind of get get accumlated with this

166
00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:39,960
Speaker 1: starting offensive line scenes though he was injured last year.

167
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:41,640
Speaker 1: So this is a guy that's I think he's willing

168
00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:43,200
Speaker 1: and ready to get out there as fast as he can.

169
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:45,720
Speaker 1: Hopefully he doesn't push it too fast to re injure himself.

170
00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:47,200
Speaker 1: But this is a guy that's ready to get back

171
00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:48,960
Speaker 1: out there. And I can see why he was like, Nah,

172
00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:51,480
Speaker 1: I'm not waiting till the next couple of practices. I'm

173
00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:54,960
Speaker 1: ready to get out there right now. He needs he

174
00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:58,080
Speaker 1: needs those rips. You see somebody in the rim. Liah

175
00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:00,800
Speaker 1: doesn't see anybody in that review miracle will not at

176
00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:03,480
Speaker 1: all things and the things in the middle bigger than

177
00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:07,680
Speaker 1: he's saying. Somebody creeping up from that rear view. He said,

178
00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:10,080
Speaker 1: hold on, I gotta put this gas on. I mean there,

179
00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:12,559
Speaker 1: we've all been there when when there's somebody right behind

180
00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:14,280
Speaker 1: this and we know they got talent behind you, and

181
00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:15,960
Speaker 1: you gotta step this stuff up and you don't want

182
00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:17,960
Speaker 1: to miss any practices because there's some linker and injuries.

183
00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:20,360
Speaker 1: So we've all been there, and Connor's in that same

184
00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:25,160
Speaker 1: situation right now. If he was on coaches, he would

185
00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:26,680
Speaker 1: still be out there. And they walked through like, man,

186
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:35,880
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get this everything. So this is definitely um

187
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:40,880
Speaker 1: I was I'm trying to find the right word here,

188
00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:42,720
Speaker 1: but this is this is what's caused when you bring

189
00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:45,520
Speaker 1: in a new coachings down the other These coaches don't

190
00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:47,280
Speaker 1: know you. Joe philp In the new offensive line coach,

191
00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:50,040
Speaker 1: he doesn't know Connor Wills. He doesn't have a familiarity

192
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:52,120
Speaker 1: with him. So I understand your point and saying, hey,

193
00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:54,000
Speaker 1: look you see somebody else behind you. They took Connor

194
00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:56,520
Speaker 1: mcgovernor out of Penn State, didn't play last year's rookie

195
00:08:56,559 --> 00:08:58,440
Speaker 1: year at all, and but here's the guy that everyone

196
00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:01,199
Speaker 1: in the building says, hey, he him play. So Joe

197
00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:05,120
Speaker 1: Looney gets the opportunity to replace Travis Frederick, who retired.

198
00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:08,520
Speaker 1: Joe Looney filled in for Travis Frederick the year that

199
00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:11,880
Speaker 1: he had Jabari syndrome and didn't play. Looney spoke to

200
00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:15,040
Speaker 1: the media said he learned a lot from Travis during

201
00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:17,839
Speaker 1: their time together, but he feels confident in what he

202
00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:20,559
Speaker 1: can do here. Do we think, Joe Looney when we

203
00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:22,400
Speaker 1: start talking about position bouts, do you think he can

204
00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:25,400
Speaker 1: hold off Connor mcgovernment who at Penn State his last

205
00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:31,319
Speaker 1: two seasons was a starting center there Yeah, absolutely, I

206
00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:34,560
Speaker 1: think he can. And once again is what iut. Having

207
00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:37,240
Speaker 1: OTA's and mini camp and being familiar with the coaches,

208
00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:38,960
Speaker 1: I think they're gonna go with the person who has

209
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:41,160
Speaker 1: the most experience in the NFL to start. So I

210
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:43,480
Speaker 1: think he can hold him off at the beginning. Now,

211
00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:47,520
Speaker 1: play play in the first two or three games will decide,

212
00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:49,360
Speaker 1: you know, who ends the season as a starter. But

213
00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:50,959
Speaker 1: I think he has a good chance of holding them

214
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:56,000
Speaker 1: off just just because lack of reps and lack of experience. Yeah,

215
00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:58,080
Speaker 1: I think he has a good chance to hold him

216
00:09:58,120 --> 00:09:59,800
Speaker 1: off just because there's there's there won't be the same

217
00:09:59,880 --> 00:10:02,320
Speaker 1: like a regular season, and there won't be any preseason

218
00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:04,000
Speaker 1: games or anything like that to where you can see

219
00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:07,440
Speaker 1: him going and get Joe Looney going against opposite defenses

220
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:09,480
Speaker 1: in the opposite competition, and he's going against guys that

221
00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:11,960
Speaker 1: he you know, he's played against or he's practiced against

222
00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:13,840
Speaker 1: over the years, so he's kind of familiar with their

223
00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:16,160
Speaker 1: moves and how they practice. So it's gonna be hard

224
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:19,120
Speaker 1: to evaluate, you know, those two guys on different competition

225
00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:21,120
Speaker 1: where we're not playing that during the preseason. So I

226
00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:23,080
Speaker 1: think he'll be able to hold him off. For camp. Now,

227
00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:24,840
Speaker 1: when we get into the regular season, if he starts

228
00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:27,480
Speaker 1: to struggle, I think he'll have a short lease. As

229
00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:28,880
Speaker 1: far as you know. He might not be able to

230
00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:30,800
Speaker 1: give up one or two sets and then he might

231
00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:33,400
Speaker 1: give a play. So we'll see how it goes during

232
00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:35,280
Speaker 1: this preseason and once the regular season starts. But I

233
00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:36,760
Speaker 1: think he'll be able to hold him off just for

234
00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:38,760
Speaker 1: the simple fact that he doesn't have to go against

235
00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:41,120
Speaker 1: any other competition and they won't have to judge those

236
00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:43,600
Speaker 1: two on different competitions, seen as though they're playing against

237
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:46,959
Speaker 1: the same players each and every day during camp. All right, fellas,

238
00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:49,880
Speaker 1: let's keep it going here. The Cowboys have their first practice.

239
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:51,520
Speaker 1: So right here on the players eyes, we're going through

240
00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:53,840
Speaker 1: some of the practice notes where you die hard Cowboys fans.

241
00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:59,079
Speaker 1: The starting secondary now at camp today, at right quarterback

242
00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:02,080
Speaker 1: it was Anthony Brown. Left quarterback it was cheetoh A Woozier.

243
00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:06,160
Speaker 1: Safeties haha, Clinton Dix, and then he had Xavier Woods

244
00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:08,640
Speaker 1: and then at the slot you started with George Lewis.

245
00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:10,880
Speaker 1: Now throughout the practice they kind of did a little

246
00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:13,760
Speaker 1: flip flock, going back and forth. Rotating is the secondary.

247
00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:16,360
Speaker 1: So Trey Bon digs the first second round pick, I

248
00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:19,080
Speaker 1: should say, from Alabama, got reps at right corp. Then

249
00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:22,800
Speaker 1: he had Darryl Worley playing some left quarterback there. So

250
00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:26,840
Speaker 1: those two guys, Diggs and Whorley were starting the team

251
00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:29,240
Speaker 1: portion at the end of practice. So this is your

252
00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:31,960
Speaker 1: specialty fellas here, Danny, you take it your thoughts right

253
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:33,839
Speaker 1: there on what they laid out there to start to

254
00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:36,959
Speaker 1: see Cheeto playing quarterback. We talked about it possibly go

255
00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:38,920
Speaker 1: to safety, but he gets the first run out here

256
00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:42,480
Speaker 1: with Brent Man, I think across the board. For me,

257
00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:45,240
Speaker 1: it's probably be the same man. Just because it's day

258
00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:48,640
Speaker 1: one and these guys haven't had the chance to see

259
00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:51,439
Speaker 1: some of these rookies that they picked up. Its natural

260
00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:54,319
Speaker 1: for them to go with the previous years starters because

261
00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:58,000
Speaker 1: they have that experience. So I'm not really buying too

262
00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:01,080
Speaker 1: much into the starting second in there that they have now.

263
00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:06,360
Speaker 1: With the exception of Woods, Clint Dix and Jordan Lewis,

264
00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:09,520
Speaker 1: I think those two outside positions, I think they'll be

265
00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:13,160
Speaker 1: playing and competing for those starting jobs throughout training camp

266
00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:15,559
Speaker 1: and probably about the first two or three games, and

267
00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:18,160
Speaker 1: then well we'll see how how the doomin those falls

268
00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:20,040
Speaker 1: in but I'm not buying too much into what they

269
00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:24,400
Speaker 1: rolled out on day one. Yeah, for me, I think

270
00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:26,880
Speaker 1: this is gonna be one of the biggest position battles

271
00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:29,080
Speaker 1: throughout all of camp, probably the most important and probably

272
00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:30,319
Speaker 1: the biggest. And I would have to say it's the

273
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:33,080
Speaker 1: corner position. I feel as though those safeties pretty much

274
00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:35,319
Speaker 1: got it locked down. I know they said it Wouziers

275
00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:37,240
Speaker 1: might you know, switch back and forth and playing safety,

276
00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:39,319
Speaker 1: but I'm not sure if he could supplant you know,

277
00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:41,760
Speaker 1: how hot Dicks or Xavier Woods back there at safety

278
00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:43,719
Speaker 1: for them. So for me, it all comes down to

279
00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:45,600
Speaker 1: this corner room. I mean, this is gonna be an

280
00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:47,719
Speaker 1: extreme battle right here. I mean, like you said, you

281
00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:49,840
Speaker 1: had Anthony Brown over at one corner and you had

282
00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:52,360
Speaker 1: che Whozia at the other. But you see that said,

283
00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:53,959
Speaker 1: by the end of practice, they had, you know, the

284
00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:56,360
Speaker 1: other two guys they picked up in free agency, and

285
00:12:56,559 --> 00:12:58,679
Speaker 1: the rookie out of Alabama was getting some time in

286
00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:00,800
Speaker 1: there with the first unit. So on the first day,

287
00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:03,000
Speaker 1: if they're already rotating like this, they let you know

288
00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:04,600
Speaker 1: that it's going to be a heck of a competition

289
00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:06,719
Speaker 1: out there at the end of the day. I do

290
00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:09,880
Speaker 1: I don't see Anthony Brown being that number one corner

291
00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:11,959
Speaker 1: out there on the right side. I feel as though

292
00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:14,839
Speaker 1: he's suited perfectly for a slot nickel type position. But

293
00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:16,959
Speaker 1: the only problem that is is we already kind of

294
00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:20,120
Speaker 1: have a perfectly suited nickel in Jordan Lewis. So I

295
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:22,160
Speaker 1: think that's gonna be a great position battle right there.

296
00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:24,800
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a great to watch that and see

297
00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:26,960
Speaker 1: how that develops. But I think it's gonna be one

298
00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:29,440
Speaker 1: of the most important camp battles throughout all of camp

299
00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:32,520
Speaker 1: that they're both there. All the corners in there can

300
00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:34,520
Speaker 1: play and have experience out there, So it's gonna be

301
00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:37,360
Speaker 1: a great, great battle out there. But looking forward to

302
00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:39,880
Speaker 1: seeing how it plays out. In Cannon. Let's stay with

303
00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:42,599
Speaker 1: the safety position. Donovan Woods, the kid that done the

304
00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:44,160
Speaker 1: second year out of Texas A and m how to

305
00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:47,000
Speaker 1: pick six of Dak Prescott as Dak was trying to

306
00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:49,959
Speaker 1: find Blake Jarvin right there. So something we know the

307
00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:53,839
Speaker 1: Cowboys defense has to improve upon is getting some turnovers.

308
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:56,719
Speaker 1: And here's Donovan Lewis going ahead putting his name out

309
00:13:56,760 --> 00:13:59,480
Speaker 1: there to let everybody know he is here to make

310
00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:03,520
Speaker 1: this foot team. It possibly get some run as a safety. Oh,

311
00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:06,400
Speaker 1: that's huge, especially coming in and I think he's in

312
00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:08,760
Speaker 1: a second year coming in. I mean, if you're getting

313
00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:11,000
Speaker 1: if you're getting interception off of the starting quarterback, I mean,

314
00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:13,480
Speaker 1: that's already turning heads for coaches. I mean, like I said,

315
00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:16,079
Speaker 1: coming in, younger guys trying to trying to make the

316
00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:18,040
Speaker 1: team or just trying to get your name out there.

317
00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:19,800
Speaker 1: I mean, making plays like that in practice. If you

318
00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:22,040
Speaker 1: can make one a day in practice, I mean I

319
00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:23,960
Speaker 1: don't get your name rising up there, and you'll for

320
00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:25,480
Speaker 1: sure make the team. You just got to keep on

321
00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:31,000
Speaker 1: making plays throughout each and every practice. Yeah. Absolutely, making

322
00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:33,480
Speaker 1: those type of plays, especially as a first impression in

323
00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:35,960
Speaker 1: front of these coaches, is huge. And if he continues

324
00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:37,760
Speaker 1: to make those type of plays, they'll find a way

325
00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:39,680
Speaker 1: to get him in the game. They'll create some packages

326
00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:42,160
Speaker 1: if he's not a starter, or their movement to that spot.

327
00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:44,960
Speaker 1: Because the most important thing is creating turnovers and being

328
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:47,160
Speaker 1: able to be disciplined and defense. And if you can

329
00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:50,280
Speaker 1: create those takeaways, you will be on the field. They

330
00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:52,160
Speaker 1: will not have a guy who can get interceptions and

331
00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:55,360
Speaker 1: cause fumbles sitting on the sideline. So that's that's a

332
00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:58,160
Speaker 1: great start for him. I want to see him continue

333
00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:00,960
Speaker 1: to do that. All right, You guys both made the

334
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:04,160
Speaker 1: Cowboys undrafted free agents. Danny you went on from Dallas

335
00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:06,520
Speaker 1: to go to Chicago. Barry you went on from Dallas

336
00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:09,840
Speaker 1: to go to Jacksonville. When you have that first practice

337
00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:12,040
Speaker 1: and these coaches are seeing you on the field for

338
00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:14,480
Speaker 1: the first time, what is that like? What are some

339
00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:16,760
Speaker 1: of these Cowboys going through as they show a new

340
00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:23,440
Speaker 1: set of coaches what they can do. You got to Jacksonville.

341
00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:28,480
Speaker 1: Oh I'm sorry, I thought with mccraye, but you gotta

342
00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:31,560
Speaker 1: when you come into a new situation, better being undrafted

343
00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:33,440
Speaker 1: or you got a whole new coaching staff coming in,

344
00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:35,760
Speaker 1: you first want to get acclimated. From me, it was

345
00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:38,080
Speaker 1: getting acclimated with a special team's coach because that's for

346
00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:40,800
Speaker 1: me every time throughout my whole NFL experience, that's the

347
00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:44,360
Speaker 1: coach that is kind of most most connected to the players.

348
00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:46,440
Speaker 1: I feel like every special team's coach is pretty much

349
00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:48,240
Speaker 1: best friends with all the players out there because they

350
00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:49,680
Speaker 1: want them to be able to play on their teams.

351
00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:51,040
Speaker 1: They want them to come and want to play on

352
00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:53,120
Speaker 1: their teams, even as starters. So for me, going to

353
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:55,240
Speaker 1: a new team or being as an undrafted free agent,

354
00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:57,280
Speaker 1: you make your make friends with a special team's coach

355
00:15:57,360 --> 00:15:58,880
Speaker 1: and then you go on from there. You make sure

356
00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:01,560
Speaker 1: that you get all that teams batted down before you

357
00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:04,160
Speaker 1: worry about offense, defense, all of other stuff, because that's

358
00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:05,680
Speaker 1: the quickest way to make the team. Now, if you're

359
00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:08,160
Speaker 1: already establishing he's like a free agent being paid to

360
00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:10,200
Speaker 1: go somewhere else, then you have more of a leash,

361
00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:11,720
Speaker 1: You have more of lee way. The coaches are coming

362
00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:13,200
Speaker 1: up to you to kind of be your best friends.

363
00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:15,760
Speaker 1: So it's kind of opposite that way, but definitely if

364
00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:17,120
Speaker 1: you're a free agent or if a young guys trying

365
00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:18,800
Speaker 1: to make the team, definitely go ahead and go straight

366
00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:22,720
Speaker 1: to that special team guy. I mean, he's your ticket. Yeah, Church,

367
00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:25,080
Speaker 1: You're absolutely correct, And that's exactly what I did. But

368
00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:28,800
Speaker 1: when I left Ballast, I went to Chicago and Joe D.

369
00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:31,280
Speaker 1: Camillas was a special team's coach there, so he was

370
00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:34,120
Speaker 1: already familiar with me. He kind of kind of wanted

371
00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:35,920
Speaker 1: me to come and play there, but he did make

372
00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:37,560
Speaker 1: it known that, you know, I needed to make an

373
00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:40,120
Speaker 1: impression in the dB room as well, just so I

374
00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:42,760
Speaker 1: could solidify my place on the team. So I was

375
00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:45,240
Speaker 1: trying my hardest to be seen as a hard worker

376
00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:48,160
Speaker 1: and be known as a guy who study and could

377
00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:50,040
Speaker 1: pick up the defense fast enough. So if they needed

378
00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:51,640
Speaker 1: me to go in the game, I would be able

379
00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:53,240
Speaker 1: to go in there and compete at the highest level.

380
00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:56,520
Speaker 1: Gonna make a few plays. So special teams won. Like

381
00:16:56,680 --> 00:17:00,120
Speaker 1: Church said, but if you're already established, you just want

382
00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:03,240
Speaker 1: to kind of hold that that standard that you already

383
00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:05,280
Speaker 1: have for those coaches. You want to prove them right.

384
00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:07,000
Speaker 1: Whatever they heard about you that was good, you want

385
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:08,560
Speaker 1: to prove that right. And whatever they hurt bad, you

386
00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:11,040
Speaker 1: want to get that out of their head. All right,

387
00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:13,360
Speaker 1: This is the players' lounge right here on Dallas Cowboys

388
00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:16,440
Speaker 1: dot COM's continue with the camp notice. Mike McCarthy held

389
00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:18,520
Speaker 1: his first practice at the Star in Frisco, and they

390
00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:22,200
Speaker 1: held at eight am outside ninety degrees. Already the North Texas.

391
00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:25,280
Speaker 1: He is, it'll get to you. We touched on special teams.

392
00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:28,280
Speaker 1: Let's continue there. So Cedric Wilson and Cede Lamb were

393
00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:33,520
Speaker 1: taking punts. Cede Lamb had fifty four punts that he

394
00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:36,639
Speaker 1: returned at Oklahoma University. So I'm gonna start with you

395
00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:39,160
Speaker 1: on this one, mccraig, What do you think that says?

396
00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:41,639
Speaker 1: And can you think we can have anyone else in

397
00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:43,920
Speaker 1: the mix when it comes to who will be the

398
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:48,439
Speaker 1: punk returner for the Cowboys? No, I think this position

399
00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:51,159
Speaker 1: is his as long as he gets out there and

400
00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:53,520
Speaker 1: he's able to catch catch those punts and not make

401
00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:57,040
Speaker 1: big mistakes. I think this spot is his fun of

402
00:17:57,119 --> 00:18:00,960
Speaker 1: taking the difference between him and we had with Das

403
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:03,200
Speaker 1: back in twenty ten when Davis was returning those punts.

404
00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:06,080
Speaker 1: Is Daz was like set out to be our number

405
00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:08,400
Speaker 1: one receiver. He wasn't the slot guy. Cedee Lamb will

406
00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:10,840
Speaker 1: be the number three receiver, so he will be looking

407
00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:13,200
Speaker 1: for more opportunities to get the balls in the ball

408
00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:15,720
Speaker 1: in his hands, and this is the perfect opportunity. So

409
00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:17,520
Speaker 1: I think he'll be out there, this is his position.

410
00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:20,040
Speaker 1: Any other guy who's competing will probably be out there

411
00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:22,879
Speaker 1: for safe punts, just the fair catch. But you can

412
00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:25,040
Speaker 1: see the big time plays and the big time opportunities

413
00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:30,560
Speaker 1: giving the Cdee Lamb in the punt game, punt return game. Yeah,

414
00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:32,360
Speaker 1: I think this is I think this is Taylor made

415
00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:34,320
Speaker 1: for him. You're one hundred percent prec when you said

416
00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:36,600
Speaker 1: like the difference between Deaz when he was returning. I

417
00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:39,440
Speaker 1: think he had like three or four touchdowns return during

418
00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:41,479
Speaker 1: that rookie campaign, But the difference was he was our

419
00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:43,440
Speaker 1: bona fide number one. He was a guy at a

420
00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:46,239
Speaker 1: we'd rather have him making big plays on offense than

421
00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:48,199
Speaker 1: we'd rather him returning punts. But he just went out

422
00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:49,600
Speaker 1: there and wanted to do it anyways, and he was

423
00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:52,040
Speaker 1: spectacular at it. But cde lamb Ry here, he'll be

424
00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:53,879
Speaker 1: that number three option, I think at the slot, and

425
00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:56,280
Speaker 1: that'll give him more opportunity to go back there and

426
00:18:56,400 --> 00:18:58,240
Speaker 1: be he won't be asked fatigue to go back there

427
00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:01,479
Speaker 1: and return punts. Returning that's a dangerous game back there.

428
00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:03,719
Speaker 1: He's got guys flying at you one hundred miles an hour,

429
00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:05,560
Speaker 1: and hopefully guys in front of you are picking up

430
00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:07,639
Speaker 1: their blocks. But I think he'll be able to excel

431
00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:09,119
Speaker 1: at it, and I think he'll be able to make

432
00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:11,280
Speaker 1: more and more plays for this team as a whole,

433
00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:13,639
Speaker 1: not only on offense, but as returning punts or as

434
00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:15,680
Speaker 1: returning kicks. So I look forward to him in that

435
00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:18,159
Speaker 1: role and hopefully he can duplicate what Dez did in

436
00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:21,120
Speaker 1: his rookie season returning punts because that helped our team immensely.

437
00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:28,119
Speaker 1: It's just yes, mine is the injury as they got heard,

438
00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:30,600
Speaker 1: they snatched them right off the field, that was cracked.

439
00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:37,880
Speaker 1: It's just one practice. But the media in attendance falling

440
00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:41,960
Speaker 1: and loving what they're seeing from CD Lamb. Here my

441
00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:44,560
Speaker 1: question to you, and I'll start with you, Barry Church.

442
00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:48,960
Speaker 1: Is there too much expectation already for CD Lamb, for

443
00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:52,280
Speaker 1: someone who will not have any preseason games to play

444
00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:54,280
Speaker 1: and it's gonna be thrown out there right away to

445
00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:58,080
Speaker 1: start their NFL career against the La Rams. Oh yeah.

446
00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:01,160
Speaker 1: I think for me personally, I think there's a lot

447
00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:02,960
Speaker 1: of pressure and I'm gonna say a little bit too

448
00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:05,840
Speaker 1: much pressure put on cde Lamb, and a lot of

449
00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:07,960
Speaker 1: it is kind of is kind of brought on by himself.

450
00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:10,119
Speaker 1: I mean him choosing to where the eighty eight, and

451
00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:11,920
Speaker 1: then that brought even more pressure because that's you know,

452
00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:14,119
Speaker 1: that's Michael Irvin. Then you get the or Drew Pierson,

453
00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:15,720
Speaker 1: Then you got the Michael Irvins, then you got the

454
00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:18,160
Speaker 1: there's perhaps and now and now we're sitting with cde

455
00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:19,879
Speaker 1: Lamb with the eighty eight and he has to represent

456
00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:22,840
Speaker 1: that jersey as well. Then you got going out. I'm

457
00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:24,960
Speaker 1: here in reports of oh, we're gonna have three one

458
00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:29,000
Speaker 1: thousand yard receivers this season because of our receiving corps

459
00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:31,560
Speaker 1: is so dangerous, and you know they have the potential

460
00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:33,800
Speaker 1: to do that. But then you also got Blake Jarwin,

461
00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:35,159
Speaker 1: who you just gave him all that money to you

462
00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:37,160
Speaker 1: got Zeke in the backfield. If you gave all that money,

463
00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:39,119
Speaker 1: I just don't know if there's enough footballs around to

464
00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:41,639
Speaker 1: do that. But that's adding even more pressure to go

465
00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:44,359
Speaker 1: out there. It's just I think he's putting a lot

466
00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:46,760
Speaker 1: on himself. But if he's confident in himself to be

467
00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:48,920
Speaker 1: able to get these things done, then more power to him.

468
00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:50,680
Speaker 1: But for me, I feel like there's a lot of

469
00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:53,280
Speaker 1: pressure he's putting on himself and hopefully he can come

470
00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:55,400
Speaker 1: through because if he has, like I say, like under

471
00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:57,560
Speaker 1: maybe five hundred yards and only five tubs or something

472
00:20:57,600 --> 00:21:00,440
Speaker 1: like that, for most that rookie season is pretty pressive.

473
00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:02,120
Speaker 1: But for him it's not going to be that well,

474
00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:07,400
Speaker 1: just because of the pressure put on him. Expectations Huh,

475
00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:09,760
Speaker 1: let me tell you so this is I don't think

476
00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:13,520
Speaker 1: it's too much expectation because Church. You played for the Cowboys.

477
00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:16,960
Speaker 1: Knee you've been reporting on the Cowboys every year. Is

478
00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:19,800
Speaker 1: this expectation of Super Bowl? Or we hike it up

479
00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:22,080
Speaker 1: and we're supposed to go out there and when you

480
00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:24,840
Speaker 1: know thousand yards this thousand yards that you know, leading

481
00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:26,840
Speaker 1: leading Russia in the backfield, and we're supposed to go

482
00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:28,200
Speaker 1: out there and when the Super Bowl it doesn't happen.

483
00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:32,159
Speaker 1: We put expectations on ourselves as the Cowboys organization. M

484
00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:37,720
Speaker 1: Cnie Lamb to me, I think that I just for

485
00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:40,400
Speaker 1: us to expect them to have three one thousand yard

486
00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:45,360
Speaker 1: receivers and high profile tight end and Zeke. You're looking

487
00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:47,760
Speaker 1: at guys who have to we have to average probably

488
00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:50,080
Speaker 1: five hundred yards of game on offense, which is going

489
00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:53,320
Speaker 1: to be super difficult if you want all these guys

490
00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:55,680
Speaker 1: to get you look at Zeke trying to get fifteen

491
00:21:55,760 --> 00:21:58,600
Speaker 1: hundred yards Russian. Uh, you know, put some respect on

492
00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:01,399
Speaker 1: his name. You're looking at Amari Coople who has to

493
00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:04,480
Speaker 1: he has to get over a thousand to just to

494
00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:06,840
Speaker 1: prove that he's worth a hundred million dollars. You got

495
00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:09,359
Speaker 1: Gallops who's still fighting it to prove that he can

496
00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:12,760
Speaker 1: do it. Uh. In a second year. It's it's a

497
00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:14,680
Speaker 1: lot of stuff going on out there, man, So I

498
00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:17,280
Speaker 1: think the expectation is high. I think we will see

499
00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:19,600
Speaker 1: a drop off from someone. I'm not sure who it is,

500
00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:22,720
Speaker 1: but I don't see it's having three one thousand yard

501
00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:25,840
Speaker 1: receivers to one hundred yard rusher and a seven hundred

502
00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:27,760
Speaker 1: yard tighten and I just don't think that's gonna happen.

503
00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:31,440
Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's the CD effects. I mean, we

504
00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:34,400
Speaker 1: got the CD effect. Man, we got now Dak's third

505
00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:36,760
Speaker 1: place or third in the MVP ballot coming up. I

506
00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:42,879
Speaker 1: need this. It's CD. It's the cdfect man. Listen, it is.

507
00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:45,000
Speaker 1: It is what it is. Nwi knwi. If you disagree,

508
00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:48,159
Speaker 1: we can make another bet. You know, I'm trying to

509
00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:54,520
Speaker 1: see for you standing on this one. Um. Look when

510
00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:57,960
Speaker 1: when it comes to the offensive output numbers here, I'm

511
00:22:58,040 --> 00:23:02,400
Speaker 1: still of the belief if the Cowboys give this foot

512
00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:05,800
Speaker 1: and to me give more opportunities Ezekiel maybe find more

513
00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:09,000
Speaker 1: ways to use him. Allah Marshall fall if you make

514
00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:12,560
Speaker 1: this thing about Ezekiel Elliott, well, the pass the game

515
00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:14,920
Speaker 1: and everybody else is going to be They're all. This

516
00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:18,000
Speaker 1: thing should start with Zeke and then derive from there

517
00:23:18,080 --> 00:23:21,240
Speaker 1: everywhere else because play acts and pass becomes a killer

518
00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:24,120
Speaker 1: at that point in time. So, and maybe you're sitting

519
00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:26,119
Speaker 1: here running a lot of eleven personnel and even some

520
00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:28,000
Speaker 1: zero at times if you want to put Zeke out there.

521
00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:30,720
Speaker 1: But I truly believe this thing needs to start with

522
00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:34,359
Speaker 1: twenty one. And if twenty one is eating, then four

523
00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:37,159
Speaker 1: can throw it to any and everybody and they can

524
00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:39,440
Speaker 1: really go next level. So to me, I feel like

525
00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:42,040
Speaker 1: this has got to start with Ezekiel Ellie and trying

526
00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:45,560
Speaker 1: to make sure he has twenty five touches a game. Somehow,

527
00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:48,040
Speaker 1: I agree with you. I agree with you one hundred

528
00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:49,639
Speaker 1: percent on that newly as far as we got to

529
00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:51,879
Speaker 1: get Zeke the ball in order for this offense to

530
00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:53,720
Speaker 1: get rolling. But let me ask you a question. Do

531
00:23:53,800 --> 00:23:57,320
Speaker 1: you feel as though with Mike McCarthy's coaching styleist philosophy,

532
00:23:57,520 --> 00:23:59,320
Speaker 1: do you feel like that's possible for Zeke to be

533
00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:04,240
Speaker 1: the at this end at its offense needs. Mike McCarthy

534
00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:07,200
Speaker 1: was asked this question when he got here, and I

535
00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:09,159
Speaker 1: think I may have even asked it, because I know

536
00:24:09,200 --> 00:24:11,320
Speaker 1: I asked him something about the running back. But basically,

537
00:24:11,359 --> 00:24:14,080
Speaker 1: he's never had a guy like Ezekiel Ellie. The coaches

538
00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:16,160
Speaker 1: he had up there was Ryan Grant in their Super

539
00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:18,800
Speaker 1: Bowl season, and then Ryan Grant ended up getting hurt,

540
00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:21,760
Speaker 1: and then he had Eddie Lacy, and look, with all

541
00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:24,920
Speaker 1: due respect to those players, they're not Ezekiel Ellie. And

542
00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:27,320
Speaker 1: to me, you just go back and think of how

543
00:24:27,359 --> 00:24:31,040
Speaker 1: they used him at Ohio State. Everyone ate around him,

544
00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:33,320
Speaker 1: and I just go back to even Tony Romo. What's

545
00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:35,920
Speaker 1: the best season Tony Romo ever had for the Cowboys.

546
00:24:36,119 --> 00:24:38,760
Speaker 1: It was when DeMarco Murray was the NFL Offensive Player

547
00:24:38,760 --> 00:24:41,200
Speaker 1: of the Year. And if I'm Mike McCarthy, you go

548
00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:43,119
Speaker 1: back and you just think of this guy used him

549
00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:46,720
Speaker 1: like Marshall fall and everything else. All these great schemes

550
00:24:47,080 --> 00:24:49,880
Speaker 1: could just revolve around there, because if you're throwing three

551
00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:52,200
Speaker 1: guys out there, I mean, imagine, if you're okay, you

552
00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:54,480
Speaker 1: got three receivers set and you got Zeke going one

553
00:24:54,520 --> 00:24:56,360
Speaker 1: on one and ketching some passes out of the backfield

554
00:24:56,359 --> 00:24:58,399
Speaker 1: against linebackers, how are they gonna slow it. They're just

555
00:24:58,440 --> 00:24:59,879
Speaker 1: not gonna do it. And so when they have to

556
00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:02,040
Speaker 1: start to try and you know, get get to the

557
00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:04,640
Speaker 1: line and worry about the run in the past, even

558
00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:07,680
Speaker 1: even Dak it can set up here with the with

559
00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:09,879
Speaker 1: the run pass option, it eat. I mean, it just

560
00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:12,800
Speaker 1: really does, in my opinion, revolve around twenty one, and

561
00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:15,240
Speaker 1: then he can make everyone else happy. If this Cowboys

562
00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:18,280
Speaker 1: often scores thirty five points a game, like we believe

563
00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:20,479
Speaker 1: they can. If they're scoring thirty thirty two, thirty five

564
00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:22,520
Speaker 1: points a game, next thing, you know, you're able to

565
00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:26,040
Speaker 1: just drop some serious bombs throwing to these wide receivers

566
00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:28,159
Speaker 1: or finding Blake Jarwin down the scene for fifteen to

567
00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:30,159
Speaker 1: twenty yards. But to me, it starts with twenty one

568
00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:32,960
Speaker 1: eating and making everybody else making a difference of coordinate

569
00:25:33,040 --> 00:25:35,680
Speaker 1: to figure out how do we stop twenty one? Stop

570
00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:38,160
Speaker 1: twenty one? Then you can actually stop the Cowboys, that's

571
00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:41,640
Speaker 1: my opinion. So who we had Do we have three

572
00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:45,280
Speaker 1: one thousand yard receivers this year? No? No, No, you should.

573
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:49,680
Speaker 1: I'm just I'm just asking. I just want to see

574
00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:51,720
Speaker 1: where are you staying on if you think it's possible

575
00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:54,879
Speaker 1: for us to have Zeke ing open it up a

576
00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:57,560
Speaker 1: little to field for Blake Jarwin and then also having

577
00:25:57,680 --> 00:25:59,840
Speaker 1: three one thousand yard receivers out there on the field.

578
00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:03,040
Speaker 1: I mean, you watch LSU play this year. Shout out

579
00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:06,080
Speaker 1: to them. It would have to look something similar to

580
00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:08,560
Speaker 1: that for you to have three one thousand yard receivers

581
00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:11,400
Speaker 1: and all those other players also racking up those yards.

582
00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:13,639
Speaker 1: And we still only had two one thousand yard receivers

583
00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:16,920
Speaker 1: and were going almost fifty a game. So it's just

584
00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:20,000
Speaker 1: difficult that the offense will have to look like spectacular

585
00:26:20,040 --> 00:26:23,800
Speaker 1: for those numbers to come to fruition. All right, Danny,

586
00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:26,560
Speaker 1: if there's three one thousand yard receivers, that means Zekie

587
00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:29,760
Speaker 1: La got hurt. That's my opinion. I mean that means

588
00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:33,560
Speaker 1: Zeke s had a knee injury or something happened. Okay,

589
00:26:34,040 --> 00:26:37,120
Speaker 1: that's the only way I see three thousand yard receivers

590
00:26:37,240 --> 00:26:39,280
Speaker 1: because that means you basically don't have a running game

591
00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:41,280
Speaker 1: and you and you're behind in a whole lot of

592
00:26:41,320 --> 00:26:43,399
Speaker 1: games here, which I don't think that's going to be

593
00:26:43,480 --> 00:26:45,480
Speaker 1: the case here. I just believe if they go where

594
00:26:45,520 --> 00:26:47,919
Speaker 1: they want to go. And also, let's bring this up too.

595
00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:50,080
Speaker 1: We hadn't talked about it yet. We'll take a break

596
00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:52,240
Speaker 1: and we'll come out here talk defense. But if this

597
00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:55,480
Speaker 1: offense is going to help the defense, they need to

598
00:26:55,600 --> 00:26:57,760
Speaker 1: run the football and try and control the clock. As

599
00:26:57,840 --> 00:26:59,800
Speaker 1: much as they're scoring points here, they need to try

600
00:26:59,840 --> 00:27:01,920
Speaker 1: and control the clock here because that's going to be

601
00:27:02,040 --> 00:27:04,000
Speaker 1: the best friend of a defense when these guys can

602
00:27:04,040 --> 00:27:06,240
Speaker 1: get out here fresh and tee off on a couple

603
00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:09,400
Speaker 1: of people. So that's my take on that. Let's get

604
00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:13,399
Speaker 1: a break in here. Everson Griffin is now the Dallas Cowboys.

605
00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:14,960
Speaker 1: I wanted to make sure we waited and have a

606
00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:17,200
Speaker 1: break in and dive all into that. We'll tell you

607
00:27:17,320 --> 00:27:19,800
Speaker 1: when we can expect to see him and can't practice.

608
00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:23,000
Speaker 1: And one statistic Cowboys fans need to be thinking about

609
00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:25,280
Speaker 1: if they want this defense, okay, if they want this

610
00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:28,080
Speaker 1: team to play on Super Sunday. I'm NUIs Scrugs, got

00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:27,920
Speaker 1: on Facebook. The Cowboys lost Robert Quinn in his eleven

659
00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:30,120
Speaker 1: and a half sacks in the offseason. Is he went

660
00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:32,479
Speaker 1: to Chicago. It's a lot of talking about, Hey, how

661
00:30:32,520 --> 00:30:34,480
Speaker 1: do you feel it? So the Cowboys ended up bringing

662
00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:36,640
Speaker 1: Olden Smith. But it's been a number of years since

663
00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:40,680
Speaker 1: Olden Smith played, And now the Cowboys have signed Everson

664
00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:43,480
Speaker 1: Griffin to a one year deal, four time Pro Bowl

665
00:30:43,600 --> 00:30:47,640
Speaker 1: player with the Minnesota Vikings, former USC Trojan teammate of

666
00:30:47,800 --> 00:30:51,800
Speaker 1: one Tyrant Smith Barry, I'll start with you your thoughts

667
00:30:51,880 --> 00:30:54,680
Speaker 1: on Everson Griffin coming to the Dallas Cowboys being able

668
00:30:54,760 --> 00:30:57,400
Speaker 1: to fill in on that right defensive indspot where Robert

669
00:30:57,480 --> 00:31:00,920
Speaker 1: Quinn left. I think this is huge and I think

670
00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:03,920
Speaker 1: this is this arguably probably the biggest signing of the

671
00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:07,200
Speaker 1: offseason for the Dallas Cowboys. I feel, like Everson Griffin,

672
00:31:07,280 --> 00:31:09,800
Speaker 1: we need, we needed somebody to replace that production that

673
00:31:09,960 --> 00:31:12,000
Speaker 1: Robert Quinn gave us last year off of the edge,

674
00:31:12,120 --> 00:31:13,920
Speaker 1: and I think we got a perfect specimen in that.

675
00:31:14,040 --> 00:31:16,560
Speaker 1: I mean, this is Everson Griffin. He's a PROS probate

676
00:31:16,600 --> 00:31:19,360
Speaker 1: in the league ten years. He's a Pro Bowl caliber

677
00:31:19,440 --> 00:31:21,880
Speaker 1: player last year coming off of the Pro Bowl. I mean,

678
00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:25,120
Speaker 1: this guy, he's just a true stud defensive end. I mean,

679
00:31:25,160 --> 00:31:27,040
Speaker 1: he could play the run well, and he created in

680
00:31:27,200 --> 00:31:30,080
Speaker 1: he can create cash rush from his defensive position. You

681
00:31:30,120 --> 00:31:31,719
Speaker 1: can put him on the inside, you can put him

682
00:31:31,720 --> 00:31:34,960
Speaker 1: on the outside. And to me, most importantly, he has

683
00:31:35,080 --> 00:31:37,640
Speaker 1: great leadership characteristics. I mean, he was a captain for

684
00:31:37,720 --> 00:31:40,760
Speaker 1: that Minnesota team in that Minnesota defense, which was outstanding

685
00:31:40,920 --> 00:31:42,320
Speaker 1: for the years that he was there, and he was

686
00:31:42,360 --> 00:31:44,360
Speaker 1: a captain. We have a young defense, we have a

687
00:31:44,400 --> 00:31:46,080
Speaker 1: young defensive mind. I feel like he's one of those

688
00:31:46,120 --> 00:31:48,160
Speaker 1: guys that can go in there and kind of shape

689
00:31:48,200 --> 00:31:50,680
Speaker 1: and mold this defense into what it can be and

690
00:31:50,760 --> 00:31:52,720
Speaker 1: what it has the potential to be. So I feel

691
00:31:52,760 --> 00:31:54,800
Speaker 1: like this is a huge, huge pickup for the Dallas

692
00:31:54,840 --> 00:31:58,400
Speaker 1: Cowboys team and the defense does. He just brings great leadership,

693
00:31:58,560 --> 00:32:01,280
Speaker 1: He'll bring great productivity on the field, and I think

694
00:32:01,280 --> 00:32:03,120
Speaker 1: he's just an all around Pro Bowl player And I

695
00:32:03,160 --> 00:32:07,200
Speaker 1: think it was a great pick up. Yeah, yeah, same here.

696
00:32:07,320 --> 00:32:10,120
Speaker 1: I'm starting to see that we're kind of going the

697
00:32:10,200 --> 00:32:12,120
Speaker 1: route of the New York Giants when they had the

698
00:32:12,640 --> 00:32:14,680
Speaker 1: it was a JPP and straight hand. They had that

699
00:32:14,880 --> 00:32:17,840
Speaker 1: incredible D line and they and they really just reaked

700
00:32:17,880 --> 00:32:21,400
Speaker 1: havoc and created turnovers and it helped them get to

701
00:32:21,440 --> 00:32:24,400
Speaker 1: the super Bowl. And uh, I think what are starting

702
00:32:24,520 --> 00:32:26,200
Speaker 1: for the starting for that was out there the day

703
00:32:26,200 --> 00:32:28,480
Speaker 1: and you throw Everyson Griffin in there, if if he

704
00:32:28,760 --> 00:32:32,040
Speaker 1: is the player that he was last year or any year,

705
00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:35,440
Speaker 1: I think that we have a real real chance of

706
00:32:35,520 --> 00:32:38,800
Speaker 1: being a great D line. With that being said, it

707
00:32:38,960 --> 00:32:42,480
Speaker 1: all looks good on paper, It all looks good. We

708
00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:44,960
Speaker 1: got we got a lot of talent on paper, as

709
00:32:45,040 --> 00:32:49,560
Speaker 1: we always do, and I think the side of the

710
00:32:49,600 --> 00:32:51,800
Speaker 1: ball that's going to be affected the most is the

711
00:32:51,960 --> 00:32:55,960
Speaker 1: defense without having all that all those reps for the offseason,

712
00:32:56,360 --> 00:32:59,040
Speaker 1: so I think it'll be interesting to see if we

713
00:32:59,160 --> 00:33:01,600
Speaker 1: can translate the talent that we have on paper to

714
00:33:01,840 --> 00:33:05,920
Speaker 1: sex and big plays in the game. Let me dive

715
00:33:06,040 --> 00:33:09,280
Speaker 1: back into some camp notes here. So starting defensive line

716
00:33:09,360 --> 00:33:12,240
Speaker 1: looked like this for the Cowboys today, Tank and Old

717
00:33:12,360 --> 00:33:15,280
Speaker 1: and Smith at defensive ends. Then you had Gerald McCoy

718
00:33:15,400 --> 00:33:19,000
Speaker 1: and Tyrone Crawford at defensive tackle don Terry Poe, who

719
00:33:19,080 --> 00:33:22,360
Speaker 1: was signed in the off season, is on the pup list,

720
00:33:22,400 --> 00:33:24,440
Speaker 1: so he was not there. So your thoughts on that

721
00:33:24,560 --> 00:33:29,160
Speaker 1: front flour for the Cowboys thought, go ahead, great, go ahead,

722
00:33:29,160 --> 00:33:32,360
Speaker 1: go ahead, Oh listen, I don't I don't really have much.

723
00:33:32,360 --> 00:33:34,000
Speaker 1: I think, like I said, I think it's great on paper.

724
00:33:34,040 --> 00:33:35,960
Speaker 1: I think the one thing that we really need to

725
00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:38,720
Speaker 1: focus on is none of this matters if we can't

726
00:33:38,760 --> 00:33:42,040
Speaker 1: stop the run. All right, So yeah, all the pass

727
00:33:42,080 --> 00:33:44,760
Speaker 1: for us is all the sacks in the world, all

728
00:33:44,960 --> 00:33:47,760
Speaker 1: is great. The most important thing to me is I

729
00:33:47,880 --> 00:33:50,560
Speaker 1: want to see these guys stop the run. All our

730
00:33:50,600 --> 00:33:53,480
Speaker 1: defensive coordinators will say, you have to earn the right

731
00:33:53,600 --> 00:33:56,120
Speaker 1: to rush the passer, all right, So you got to

732
00:33:56,160 --> 00:33:58,400
Speaker 1: make the players on first and second down in order

733
00:33:58,440 --> 00:34:00,280
Speaker 1: to be able to pin your ears back and go

734
00:34:00,360 --> 00:34:02,320
Speaker 1: and try to get the quarterback. So we could get

735
00:34:02,440 --> 00:34:05,520
Speaker 1: six guys who get ten to fifteen sacks a year,

736
00:34:05,960 --> 00:34:07,640
Speaker 1: all on the d line. But if we don't stop

737
00:34:07,680 --> 00:34:10,319
Speaker 1: the run, they'll never be rushing the passer and our

738
00:34:10,400 --> 00:34:12,919
Speaker 1: offense will never be on the field. So it's great,

739
00:34:13,120 --> 00:34:14,600
Speaker 1: but I want to make sure that that that that

740
00:34:14,880 --> 00:34:17,440
Speaker 1: we're focused and our defense can control the run, so

741
00:34:17,520 --> 00:34:19,200
Speaker 1: we can let these guys get out there and do

742
00:34:19,239 --> 00:34:23,279
Speaker 1: it their best at Yeah, you're right, we definitely do

743
00:34:23,360 --> 00:34:25,200
Speaker 1: got to stop the run or or we'll never see

744
00:34:25,239 --> 00:34:28,080
Speaker 1: the potential in this offense or this defense. But as

745
00:34:28,120 --> 00:34:30,600
Speaker 1: far as that starting lineup goods that you planted out,

746
00:34:30,880 --> 00:34:33,839
Speaker 1: he said, you have Tank, Lawrence, Alden Smith, mc coy

747
00:34:33,920 --> 00:34:36,279
Speaker 1: and Crawford. I think that's a great lineup right there.

748
00:34:36,280 --> 00:34:39,000
Speaker 1: I think that'll be more of a pass rushing situation

749
00:34:39,200 --> 00:34:41,800
Speaker 1: or like a third third down rush group because you know,

750
00:34:41,880 --> 00:34:43,880
Speaker 1: as a defensive line, they like to rotate in to

751
00:34:43,960 --> 00:34:46,160
Speaker 1: get fresh bodies in there and fresh pass rush. So

752
00:34:46,239 --> 00:34:47,960
Speaker 1: I see that lineup that you said is more of

753
00:34:48,040 --> 00:34:50,600
Speaker 1: a third down situation, more of a pass rush situation

754
00:34:51,200 --> 00:34:53,600
Speaker 1: minus Alden Smith. I think you put in Everson Griffin

755
00:34:53,719 --> 00:34:55,399
Speaker 1: right there, and I think you have a great pass

756
00:34:55,480 --> 00:34:57,919
Speaker 1: rush third down situation. When it comes to the first

757
00:34:57,960 --> 00:35:00,440
Speaker 1: and second down, we have so many pieces that we

758
00:35:00,480 --> 00:35:02,880
Speaker 1: can just plug and play and rotate in here. I

759
00:35:02,960 --> 00:35:04,640
Speaker 1: think we have a great defensive line. But for me,

760
00:35:04,760 --> 00:35:07,839
Speaker 1: it would be you know, Tank on the outside, then

761
00:35:07,960 --> 00:35:10,640
Speaker 1: maybe either Crawford or Everson Griffin, and then you would

762
00:35:10,680 --> 00:35:12,759
Speaker 1: have on the inside. You have Poe once he's able

763
00:35:12,800 --> 00:35:14,840
Speaker 1: to go, and you have McCord, and I think that'd

764
00:35:14,840 --> 00:35:16,440
Speaker 1: be great for stopping to run. I think you have

765
00:35:16,520 --> 00:35:19,719
Speaker 1: those two big, huge defensive tackles on the inside being

766
00:35:19,760 --> 00:35:22,080
Speaker 1: able to generate rush, but also being able to take

767
00:35:22,160 --> 00:35:24,759
Speaker 1: up space, take up rush lanes, and most importantly, take

768
00:35:24,880 --> 00:35:27,359
Speaker 1: up those offensive linemen from getting up to the second level,

769
00:35:27,480 --> 00:35:29,640
Speaker 1: from getting up to Jalen Smith and Layton van Dress,

770
00:35:29,760 --> 00:35:31,680
Speaker 1: letting them do what they do best, which is running

771
00:35:31,680 --> 00:35:33,920
Speaker 1: from sideline and sideline and make play. So if we

772
00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:37,279
Speaker 1: can get that deepensive line rolling, rotating in and just

773
00:35:37,360 --> 00:35:39,279
Speaker 1: getting fresh bodies in there, I think this has the

774
00:35:39,920 --> 00:35:42,680
Speaker 1: possibilities to be a strength of this defense and of

775
00:35:42,800 --> 00:35:45,399
Speaker 1: this team, and they can make everybody's job a lot easier,

776
00:35:45,480 --> 00:35:49,560
Speaker 1: especially in the secondary. Stay with pass rushers here, Randy

777
00:35:49,640 --> 00:35:52,600
Speaker 1: Gregory has not been reinstated. At what point in time

778
00:35:52,680 --> 00:35:54,920
Speaker 1: did the Cowboys just kind of move on down the

779
00:35:55,000 --> 00:36:00,520
Speaker 1: road last year the year before, the year before, I mean,

780
00:36:01,480 --> 00:36:03,200
Speaker 1: I mean, what are we talking? What are we talking

781
00:36:03,200 --> 00:36:06,279
Speaker 1: about here? And they brought guys in and I'm all

782
00:36:06,320 --> 00:36:08,680
Speaker 1: for giving guy's second chances, and the Cowboys are known

783
00:36:08,760 --> 00:36:11,520
Speaker 1: for it, but I mean, it seems to me like

784
00:36:11,600 --> 00:36:13,880
Speaker 1: they're making signings and they're moving on and they're focusing

785
00:36:13,920 --> 00:36:16,040
Speaker 1: on the guys that they have in the room. And

786
00:36:16,640 --> 00:36:19,440
Speaker 1: at this point, you know, they haven't reinstated them. I

787
00:36:19,480 --> 00:36:21,960
Speaker 1: see them on Twitter, you know, going back and forth

788
00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:24,000
Speaker 1: with some people and getting blocked by people who may

789
00:36:24,040 --> 00:36:27,280
Speaker 1: be reinstateing them. This is just some some some attention

790
00:36:27,320 --> 00:36:29,840
Speaker 1: that's not needed with the Cowboys. Let's let's get this

791
00:36:29,960 --> 00:36:33,120
Speaker 1: new regime and focus on football and whatever happens to

792
00:36:33,239 --> 00:36:35,239
Speaker 1: Randy Gregor, we wish the best for them, but let's

793
00:36:35,239 --> 00:36:39,399
Speaker 1: focus on the guys were having the room up little

794
00:36:39,440 --> 00:36:42,040
Speaker 1: up on Twitter, but they needed to be done with

795
00:36:42,080 --> 00:36:44,879
Speaker 1: the Randy Gregor experiment two years ago. I mean, people said,

796
00:36:45,200 --> 00:36:48,400
Speaker 1: you know, how dare you do that? He's got mental

797
00:36:48,480 --> 00:36:50,399
Speaker 1: health and we need to take care of me. Fans

798
00:36:50,480 --> 00:36:52,360
Speaker 1: were mad at me when I said move on for

799
00:36:52,480 --> 00:36:55,600
Speaker 1: Randy Gregory. Yeah, it gonna be like it'll be Josh

800
00:36:55,640 --> 00:36:59,120
Speaker 1: Gordon my bad Church. They're gonna be Josh'll be joh

801
00:36:59,560 --> 00:37:02,040
Speaker 1: Like for the last two years, getting moving from team

802
00:37:02,120 --> 00:37:04,120
Speaker 1: the team, and the Patriots depending on him, and then

803
00:37:04,160 --> 00:37:06,359
Speaker 1: the Seahouse depending on him, and he just letting them down.

804
00:37:07,280 --> 00:37:10,279
Speaker 1: I brought that. They didn't want to hear that. Like

805
00:37:10,400 --> 00:37:12,279
Speaker 1: you said at one point, I mean, you gotta get

806
00:37:12,320 --> 00:37:14,400
Speaker 1: you gotta let the man walk. I mean I understand,

807
00:37:14,480 --> 00:37:16,040
Speaker 1: like I said, I've seen on Twitter as well. He's

808
00:37:16,080 --> 00:37:18,160
Speaker 1: been going on there and talking about how frustrated he

809
00:37:18,360 --> 00:37:21,440
Speaker 1: is about the whole situation. But all in all real

810
00:37:21,640 --> 00:37:23,800
Speaker 1: and all realness, you just need to realize that you

811
00:37:23,880 --> 00:37:25,880
Speaker 1: put yourself in a situation. I mean, this is like

812
00:37:25,960 --> 00:37:28,920
Speaker 1: the fourth or fifth opportunity he's had, and he's failed

813
00:37:28,920 --> 00:37:31,200
Speaker 1: these tests from sultans abuses, and I know that. I

814
00:37:31,239 --> 00:37:33,719
Speaker 1: think the fear is that without football, I mean, what's

815
00:37:33,719 --> 00:37:35,640
Speaker 1: gonna happen to him? You know, no one really knows

816
00:37:35,680 --> 00:37:37,719
Speaker 1: without football if he's gonna, you know, go back into

817
00:37:37,800 --> 00:37:39,600
Speaker 1: his old ways or kind of self destruct. So I

818
00:37:39,680 --> 00:37:41,279
Speaker 1: think that's the big fear, and I think that's why,

819
00:37:41,320 --> 00:37:43,239
Speaker 1: you know, maybe the Cowboys kind of holding on to him.

820
00:37:43,600 --> 00:37:45,000
Speaker 1: But at the end of the day, you kind of

821
00:37:45,040 --> 00:37:46,600
Speaker 1: have to, you know, let the man grow up and

822
00:37:46,840 --> 00:37:48,359
Speaker 1: be on his own. I mean, and he can't baby

823
00:37:48,440 --> 00:37:50,959
Speaker 1: him forever. And I mean he's had chance after chance

824
00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:54,160
Speaker 1: after chance, and he hasn't been able to come through

825
00:37:54,239 --> 00:37:57,279
Speaker 1: and pretty much salvage his career. So um, you know,

826
00:37:57,360 --> 00:37:59,360
Speaker 1: I hope he does, you know, get it, get reinstated,

827
00:37:59,600 --> 00:38:02,359
Speaker 1: maybe one more chance. But the Cowboys, I think they've

828
00:38:02,400 --> 00:38:06,759
Speaker 1: done enough for him on their own. They should bring

829
00:38:06,920 --> 00:38:09,719
Speaker 1: Dance back before they bring Randy Gregory back, all right,

830
00:38:09,760 --> 00:38:13,280
Speaker 1: get Dans back in the building and stop sleeping on beds,

831
00:38:13,760 --> 00:38:16,279
Speaker 1: and get Randy Gregory out of here somewhere else. I

832
00:38:16,360 --> 00:38:19,720
Speaker 1: don't want to hear the the you know, without football,

833
00:38:19,800 --> 00:38:22,239
Speaker 1: he might self destructive. Football is going in one day,

834
00:38:22,360 --> 00:38:25,680
Speaker 1: all right for everybody. So so you got to figure

835
00:38:25,719 --> 00:38:27,359
Speaker 1: that out, man. You got to figure out out get

836
00:38:27,360 --> 00:38:29,719
Speaker 1: the right people around you. The Cowboys, even if they

837
00:38:29,760 --> 00:38:31,320
Speaker 1: don't pick them up, I'm sure they have people that

838
00:38:31,400 --> 00:38:33,320
Speaker 1: to reach out to them and get the and have

839
00:38:33,440 --> 00:38:36,040
Speaker 1: the resources for him to get the help that he needs.

840
00:38:36,440 --> 00:38:39,080
Speaker 1: But this is football, all right, with the focus on football.

841
00:38:39,120 --> 00:38:42,719
Speaker 1: This is football. Well, that was something I pointed out

842
00:38:42,760 --> 00:38:45,800
Speaker 1: to someone who I said, Randy Gregory does not have

843
00:38:45,920 --> 00:38:48,719
Speaker 1: to be on the Dallas Cowboys for Jerry Jones and

844
00:38:48,800 --> 00:38:51,040
Speaker 1: the Cowboys to help Randy Gregory, he doesn't have to

845
00:38:51,120 --> 00:38:52,960
Speaker 1: be here. I mean, we all see what they've done

846
00:38:53,000 --> 00:38:55,200
Speaker 1: with Josh Bryth. Josh Bryth is still a part of

847
00:38:55,239 --> 00:38:57,600
Speaker 1: the Cowboys team, and they have him, so they can

848
00:38:57,680 --> 00:39:00,400
Speaker 1: do whatever they want to if he's not playing football

849
00:39:00,640 --> 00:39:02,960
Speaker 1: to help him from a personal standpoint. But I go

850
00:39:03,040 --> 00:39:04,840
Speaker 1: back to that line that Bob Sugar talked about in

851
00:39:04,840 --> 00:39:07,240
Speaker 1: the movie Jerry Maguire, it's not show friends to show business.

852
00:39:07,640 --> 00:39:11,080
Speaker 1: And at this point in time, if the Cowboys are

853
00:39:11,160 --> 00:39:13,360
Speaker 1: gonna go where we think they can possibly go with

854
00:39:13,480 --> 00:39:15,880
Speaker 1: this talent, which is the playoffs, how long does the

855
00:39:16,000 --> 00:39:19,080
Speaker 1: train wait on someone like Randy Gregory who's shown you

856
00:39:19,160 --> 00:39:20,880
Speaker 1: that he has not been a person that you can

857
00:39:20,960 --> 00:39:25,600
Speaker 1: rely upon them nine, especially with the with the pandemic

858
00:39:25,719 --> 00:39:29,600
Speaker 1: going on, you cannot trust somebody to be available and

859
00:39:29,680 --> 00:39:31,800
Speaker 1: be on the field. And this is this is the

860
00:39:31,880 --> 00:39:34,000
Speaker 1: most extreme part of it, right because if you are

861
00:39:34,080 --> 00:39:36,360
Speaker 1: not if you are not able to have people that

862
00:39:36,480 --> 00:39:39,440
Speaker 1: you have on the roster, and on a Saturday and

863
00:39:39,520 --> 00:39:41,080
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, you like this guy can't be here,

864
00:39:41,200 --> 00:39:43,000
Speaker 1: or you find out that somebody is going to miss

865
00:39:43,040 --> 00:39:45,680
Speaker 1: the next four games, you're in a hole. Right. So

866
00:39:46,160 --> 00:39:49,680
Speaker 1: this year is specifically and especially not one of those

867
00:39:49,760 --> 00:39:51,400
Speaker 1: towns when you want to have a guy on the

868
00:39:51,440 --> 00:39:53,800
Speaker 1: field that you can't depend on to be there the

869
00:39:54,000 --> 00:39:59,160
Speaker 1: entire season. All Right, we have not spoken the name

870
00:39:59,440 --> 00:40:01,880
Speaker 1: of Mike Nolan, and we really do need to do that.

871
00:40:02,000 --> 00:40:04,200
Speaker 1: To me, one of the most important pieces of the

872
00:40:04,320 --> 00:40:06,920
Speaker 1: Cowboys in their hopes for twenty twenties, a new defensive

873
00:40:06,960 --> 00:40:09,120
Speaker 1: coordinator for the Cowboys. He used to be the head

874
00:40:09,160 --> 00:40:11,439
Speaker 1: coach of the San Francisco forty nine ers and Mike

875
00:40:11,520 --> 00:40:14,880
Speaker 1: McCarthy was his offensive coordinator. So now the roles are switched,

876
00:40:14,880 --> 00:40:18,040
Speaker 1: where McCarthy's head coach and you've got Nolan in here

877
00:40:18,080 --> 00:40:21,279
Speaker 1: as a coordinator. I believe that Mike Nolan can help

878
00:40:21,360 --> 00:40:23,320
Speaker 1: make a difference for these guys right out of the

879
00:40:23,400 --> 00:40:25,800
Speaker 1: gate by just changing up the scheme and being a

880
00:40:25,880 --> 00:40:29,160
Speaker 1: little less predictable. What are you all expecting to see

881
00:40:29,280 --> 00:40:31,759
Speaker 1: from Mike Nolan his first year as of coordinator, Barry,

882
00:40:31,760 --> 00:40:35,359
Speaker 1: I'll start with you. For me, I'm thinking it's gonna

883
00:40:35,360 --> 00:40:37,800
Speaker 1: be It's gonna look a lot different than the Marion

884
00:40:37,840 --> 00:40:40,320
Speaker 1: Ellie system. And I was a fan of the Marinelli system.

885
00:40:40,320 --> 00:40:42,120
Speaker 1: I played in it for seven years. But I think

886
00:40:42,160 --> 00:40:43,960
Speaker 1: it'll be a lot different. I mean, he's already brought

887
00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:47,160
Speaker 1: in bigger defensive linemen, and you know that Mary Ellie

888
00:40:47,360 --> 00:40:49,440
Speaker 1: was all about his fast quick we need to get

889
00:40:49,520 --> 00:40:51,120
Speaker 1: you know, hit the gaps and you know we need

890
00:40:51,160 --> 00:40:53,279
Speaker 1: to get off these offensive linemens. So and he's brought

891
00:40:53,320 --> 00:40:56,439
Speaker 1: in more. Nolan's brought in more, big, bigger, physical defensive lineman.

892
00:40:56,480 --> 00:40:57,680
Speaker 1: You know, you got Poe in there, and you've got

893
00:40:57,840 --> 00:41:00,320
Speaker 1: McCoy also. I also feel as those hopes up the

894
00:41:00,640 --> 00:41:02,879
Speaker 1: scheme as far as disguise. I feel like in Marion

895
00:41:02,920 --> 00:41:05,200
Speaker 1: Ellie's system, it was mainly you had that cover two

896
00:41:05,280 --> 00:41:08,080
Speaker 1: shell for the whole entire you know, the whole entire game.

897
00:41:08,120 --> 00:41:10,520
Speaker 1: And we'll just pretty much do everything out of the

898
00:41:10,560 --> 00:41:12,680
Speaker 1: Cover two shell. We'll rotating to the Cover three, will

899
00:41:13,160 --> 00:41:14,799
Speaker 1: tating to man and man coverage out of that cover

900
00:41:14,880 --> 00:41:16,839
Speaker 1: too shell. But with Mike knowing, I feel like there'll

901
00:41:16,840 --> 00:41:18,759
Speaker 1: be a lot more exotic looks. I feel like there'll

902
00:41:18,800 --> 00:41:21,160
Speaker 1: be a lot more exotic blitzes. I've heard Jaylen Smith

903
00:41:21,239 --> 00:41:23,760
Speaker 1: might get some run off of the edge, which he's

904
00:41:23,800 --> 00:41:25,239
Speaker 1: shown that he can do it in the past. He

905
00:41:25,280 --> 00:41:27,120
Speaker 1: can pass rush as well, So I think we'll just

906
00:41:27,160 --> 00:41:29,879
Speaker 1: have a lot more dynamic looks, a lot more um

907
00:41:30,800 --> 00:41:33,319
Speaker 1: extreme and exotic blitz is kind of similar to Rob

908
00:41:33,440 --> 00:41:35,640
Speaker 1: Ryan's defense back in the day. So I think it's

909
00:41:35,680 --> 00:41:37,120
Speaker 1: gonna be a good look for this defense and a

910
00:41:37,560 --> 00:41:41,719
Speaker 1: new fresh start and something that they need. Yeah, I

911
00:41:41,880 --> 00:41:44,000
Speaker 1: see it as as meaning in the middle of two extremes.

912
00:41:44,080 --> 00:41:46,480
Speaker 1: As Rob Marionelli was, We're gonna line up, but we're

913
00:41:46,480 --> 00:41:49,600
Speaker 1: gonna We're gonna hustle, and our effort is gonna out

914
00:41:49,680 --> 00:41:51,759
Speaker 1: effort your effort, and that's how we're gonna beat you

915
00:41:51,920 --> 00:41:55,520
Speaker 1: on defense. And then Rob Ryan was We're gonna disguise everything.

916
00:41:55,760 --> 00:41:58,040
Speaker 1: We're gonna put every defense that known the man in

917
00:41:58,160 --> 00:41:59,920
Speaker 1: and we're gonna run it when we see a certain look.

918
00:42:00,239 --> 00:42:02,040
Speaker 1: I think this defense is going to be in the

919
00:42:02,120 --> 00:42:04,839
Speaker 1: middle of that. Right, They're still gonna hustle, They're still

920
00:42:04,880 --> 00:42:06,680
Speaker 1: going to try to outwork you, but I think the

921
00:42:06,840 --> 00:42:09,880
Speaker 1: disguises and the way that they can fool the quarterback

922
00:42:09,960 --> 00:42:12,560
Speaker 1: will be something that's huge U this season. And then

923
00:42:12,920 --> 00:42:14,800
Speaker 1: now we have a bunch of guys that can go

924
00:42:14,880 --> 00:42:16,719
Speaker 1: out there and play cover one. So I think that

925
00:42:16,760 --> 00:42:18,680
Speaker 1: will free up the linebackers in the D line to

926
00:42:19,320 --> 00:42:21,520
Speaker 1: work a few more stunts. In the linebackers the blitz

927
00:42:21,560 --> 00:42:23,840
Speaker 1: off the edge or up the middle and Jalen Smith

928
00:42:24,000 --> 00:42:27,680
Speaker 1: and with a healthy LVE and my guys Sean Lee,

929
00:42:27,880 --> 00:42:30,080
Speaker 1: I think I think we'll make a lot of players

930
00:42:30,120 --> 00:42:32,200
Speaker 1: on defense. He has a lot of a lot of big,

931
00:42:32,400 --> 00:42:35,800
Speaker 1: big time playmaking pieces to work with. Yeah, because I

932
00:42:35,840 --> 00:42:37,800
Speaker 1: think it is dating. The name of the game is

933
00:42:38,120 --> 00:42:41,160
Speaker 1: creating interceptions and creating takeaways. And if you're out there

934
00:42:41,200 --> 00:42:42,920
Speaker 1: in the bland cover two looks, I mean, the quarterback

935
00:42:43,000 --> 00:42:44,640
Speaker 1: pretty much knows half of the time what you're in.

936
00:42:44,719 --> 00:42:46,480
Speaker 1: So if you can disguise yourself and kind of mess

937
00:42:46,520 --> 00:42:48,440
Speaker 1: with that quarterback, you're already won half of the battle.

938
00:42:48,680 --> 00:42:50,160
Speaker 1: And I think that's what this defense is going to

939
00:42:50,200 --> 00:42:52,120
Speaker 1: come into this year, and I'm all for it. If

940
00:42:52,400 --> 00:42:54,800
Speaker 1: Vintage League can go out there and create some takeaways,

941
00:42:54,840 --> 00:42:56,880
Speaker 1: I'm all for that as well. Man Hey Church the

942
00:42:56,960 --> 00:43:00,440
Speaker 1: church for this. So just to get into disguise, because

943
00:43:00,719 --> 00:43:04,040
Speaker 1: every every defense and every defensive coordinator speaks on the

944
00:43:04,080 --> 00:43:08,560
Speaker 1: skuise and it's more of when Mary Nelly was there.

945
00:43:09,000 --> 00:43:11,960
Speaker 1: If we disguise covered two, the quarterback knew that it

946
00:43:12,040 --> 00:43:14,239
Speaker 1: was gonna be covering two or covering three. Right, usually

947
00:43:14,320 --> 00:43:16,320
Speaker 1: gonna drop down or you just gonna play that defense

948
00:43:16,560 --> 00:43:19,279
Speaker 1: when you get into you know, like a Rob Ryan

949
00:43:19,360 --> 00:43:22,040
Speaker 1: type thing. If you line up and cover two priests

950
00:43:22,280 --> 00:43:25,239
Speaker 1: pre snap, you could be in cover zero, Cover one,

951
00:43:25,640 --> 00:43:29,920
Speaker 1: Cover three, Cover six post snap. Right, So I think

952
00:43:29,960 --> 00:43:32,080
Speaker 1: that's what I think that I think that's what Nolan's

953
00:43:32,120 --> 00:43:34,480
Speaker 1: gonna bring. It's going to be a lot more difficult

954
00:43:34,520 --> 00:43:37,080
Speaker 1: for a quarterback to to decipher what what we're running

955
00:43:37,120 --> 00:43:40,400
Speaker 1: on defense. The only problem I have with that is

956
00:43:40,480 --> 00:43:43,719
Speaker 1: that if since we don't we didn't have OTAs, we

957
00:43:43,760 --> 00:43:45,960
Speaker 1: didn't have priests, or if we don't have any preseason

958
00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:47,960
Speaker 1: games or anything like that. Only the only thing if

959
00:43:48,000 --> 00:43:50,080
Speaker 1: Mike Nolan makes it a little bit too difficult, can

960
00:43:50,200 --> 00:43:52,120
Speaker 1: these players pick it up in such a short time

961
00:43:52,239 --> 00:43:54,040
Speaker 1: to when a regular season come around, they'll be firing

962
00:43:54,120 --> 00:43:55,920
Speaker 1: on all cylinders. That's the only thing they got to

963
00:43:55,920 --> 00:43:57,440
Speaker 1: worry about. But if they can pick it up, I

964
00:43:57,480 --> 00:43:59,919
Speaker 1: think the skuys limit for this defense. That's why those

965
00:44:00,040 --> 00:44:01,800
Speaker 1: young guys won't be out there to start the season.

966
00:44:02,920 --> 00:44:06,040
Speaker 1: It'll be it'll be those guys would have experienced the start,

967
00:44:06,120 --> 00:44:08,200
Speaker 1: and then once those young guys pick it up, those

968
00:44:08,200 --> 00:44:12,239
Speaker 1: starters better look out and start making some places. And

969
00:44:12,400 --> 00:44:14,920
Speaker 1: the interesting test for this cowboy defense out of the

970
00:44:15,000 --> 00:44:17,960
Speaker 1: gate is Sean McVay and the Los Angeles Rams, and

971
00:44:18,080 --> 00:44:20,400
Speaker 1: we know Sean McVay likes to throw it around. They

972
00:44:20,440 --> 00:44:22,560
Speaker 1: don't have Brandon Cooks there anymore, but they still have

973
00:44:22,640 --> 00:44:25,080
Speaker 1: Cooper Cup. You've got Robert Woods, so it's going to

974
00:44:25,160 --> 00:44:27,759
Speaker 1: be interesting. And remember the Cowboys took on the Rams

975
00:44:27,840 --> 00:44:29,600
Speaker 1: late in the season last year and they handled them

976
00:44:29,680 --> 00:44:33,279
Speaker 1: pretty well. So I'll be interested because this is a

977
00:44:33,440 --> 00:44:35,439
Speaker 1: great test for the defense right out of the gate,

978
00:44:35,600 --> 00:44:38,640
Speaker 1: because Sean Sean mcvays basically have all summer long to

979
00:44:38,880 --> 00:44:41,759
Speaker 1: uh to get ready for the for the Skowboys, all

980
00:44:41,840 --> 00:44:45,120
Speaker 1: defense and new Jared Goffer is still their quarterback all right,

981
00:44:45,200 --> 00:44:48,120
Speaker 1: so uh, I think I think we'll be okay. I'm

982
00:44:48,160 --> 00:44:50,600
Speaker 1: still I'm still upsetting salty from him being on my

983
00:44:50,680 --> 00:44:53,600
Speaker 1: fantasy football team last year. So with him at quarterback

984
00:44:53,840 --> 00:44:57,200
Speaker 1: and then they lost Brandon Cooks, I think I think

985
00:44:57,239 --> 00:44:59,439
Speaker 1: it will be all right. Jared Goffer is just letting

986
00:44:59,480 --> 00:45:03,040
Speaker 1: me down, needless to say, you didn't win a championship

987
00:45:03,080 --> 00:45:04,840
Speaker 1: if you were rolling out there with Jared go I,

988
00:45:05,080 --> 00:45:08,000
Speaker 1: on the other hand, had had Data Prescott and Drew

989
00:45:08,080 --> 00:45:11,080
Speaker 1: Brees it's my quarterbacks and walked away with the championship.

990
00:45:11,480 --> 00:45:13,560
Speaker 1: If you need help trying to figure out who to

991
00:45:13,680 --> 00:45:16,200
Speaker 1: take this year, you call me, baby, call a winner,

992
00:45:16,200 --> 00:45:19,080
Speaker 1: because I got I ended my scene. You know, I

993
00:45:21,040 --> 00:45:23,480
Speaker 1: ended my season with Dak Prescott as my starting quarterback,

994
00:45:23,520 --> 00:45:26,880
Speaker 1: and I got beat by Jameis Winston fifty five pointer

995
00:45:27,280 --> 00:45:31,840
Speaker 1: with six in deceptions and six touchdowns. We all right,

996
00:45:31,920 --> 00:45:35,879
Speaker 1: We've gotta's another break in here. I've got a fantastic

997
00:45:35,960 --> 00:45:38,840
Speaker 1: stat that I think the Cowboys defensive they can hit this,

998
00:45:39,400 --> 00:45:42,640
Speaker 1: then they're gonna have an opportunity to possibly go where

999
00:45:42,680 --> 00:45:45,160
Speaker 1: they want to go. You're listening to the players Lounge.

1041
00:48:10,440 --> 00:48:13,319
Speaker 1: got a stat here that I really am excited about.

1042
00:48:13,400 --> 00:48:15,879
Speaker 1: Rick Goslind, Hall of fame, writer who's been on many

1043
00:48:15,960 --> 00:48:19,400
Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys platforms, had this. He says his twenty thirteen

1044
00:48:19,560 --> 00:48:23,320
Speaker 1: all Super Bowl champions have ranked top twenty in scoring defense.

1045
00:48:23,360 --> 00:48:26,600
Speaker 1: In forty seven of the fifty four champions have ranked

1046
00:48:26,680 --> 00:48:28,960
Speaker 1: in the top ten in scoring d last year. Here

1047
00:48:28,960 --> 00:48:32,640
Speaker 1: your top ten scoring defenses in the NFL New England, Buffalo,

1048
00:48:33,120 --> 00:48:37,399
Speaker 1: Baltimore number three, Chicago for Minnesota, Pittsburgh tied for five.

1049
00:48:37,719 --> 00:48:40,600
Speaker 1: Then he had Kansas City, San Francisco, Green Bay, and

1050
00:48:41,080 --> 00:48:45,040
Speaker 1: Denver Fellas. Can this be a top ten defense in

1051
00:48:45,120 --> 00:48:50,200
Speaker 1: your opinion? Start with you, Dan, Absolutely, if the if

1052
00:48:50,239 --> 00:48:52,800
Speaker 1: the offense does what they're supposed to do, controls the

1053
00:48:52,880 --> 00:48:55,960
Speaker 1: clot and we get the other team having to throw

1054
00:48:56,040 --> 00:48:59,279
Speaker 1: the ball because they're behind, that just opens up opportunities

1055
00:48:59,320 --> 00:49:01,960
Speaker 1: for us to make those big players, get those turnovers

1056
00:49:02,200 --> 00:49:05,719
Speaker 1: and lead the league in scoring defense. So I think

1057
00:49:05,840 --> 00:49:08,320
Speaker 1: if all works well how we expected to go on

1058
00:49:08,480 --> 00:49:10,759
Speaker 1: offense with all these weapons that we have, I think

1059
00:49:10,880 --> 00:49:14,960
Speaker 1: this will be a year of the defense making huge

1060
00:49:15,040 --> 00:49:17,239
Speaker 1: plays and we will not be hearing about us not

1061
00:49:17,360 --> 00:49:22,960
Speaker 1: being able to create turnovers. Yeah. For me, I definitely

1062
00:49:23,080 --> 00:49:25,200
Speaker 1: think this team can be. This defense could be a

1063
00:49:25,280 --> 00:49:28,920
Speaker 1: top ten defense even without the offense playing up to

1064
00:49:29,080 --> 00:49:31,320
Speaker 1: where they could play. But I think this defense is

1065
00:49:31,440 --> 00:49:34,000
Speaker 1: legit if they played it with if they played in

1066
00:49:34,040 --> 00:49:36,320
Speaker 1: their potential. I feel as though this defense can be legit.

1067
00:49:36,840 --> 00:49:40,439
Speaker 1: They had plenty of depth at each level linebacker, defensive line,

1068
00:49:40,480 --> 00:49:42,920
Speaker 1: and in the secondary. The only thing that's might that

1069
00:49:43,040 --> 00:49:45,440
Speaker 1: might block them is they haven't had that experience of

1070
00:49:45,520 --> 00:49:47,680
Speaker 1: playing altogether. At the same time, you got a couple

1071
00:49:47,680 --> 00:49:49,320
Speaker 1: of new pickups on the defensive line, you got a

1072
00:49:49,360 --> 00:49:51,520
Speaker 1: couple of new guys in the secondary. So I think

1073
00:49:51,560 --> 00:49:53,600
Speaker 1: once they gel as a unit and pick up this

1074
00:49:53,719 --> 00:49:55,759
Speaker 1: scheme as a unit, I think the sky's the limit.

1075
00:49:55,840 --> 00:49:59,359
Speaker 1: I think they have great pass rush and great interior play.

1076
00:49:59,400 --> 00:50:01,960
Speaker 1: On the defensive line. They got young linebackers that can

1077
00:50:02,080 --> 00:50:04,239
Speaker 1: run from sideline and sideline and can pretty much run

1078
00:50:04,320 --> 00:50:06,400
Speaker 1: with anybody, and a veteran and shann Lee that can

1079
00:50:06,440 --> 00:50:08,400
Speaker 1: pretty much teach him how to how to go about

1080
00:50:08,400 --> 00:50:11,360
Speaker 1: their week or weekly assignments and everything like that in

1081
00:50:11,440 --> 00:50:13,720
Speaker 1: film watching. And then in the secondary, you're just loaded

1082
00:50:13,760 --> 00:50:16,879
Speaker 1: with young talent and guys who've played and experienced ball

1083
00:50:16,960 --> 00:50:19,360
Speaker 1: and they're still young. So I feel as though this defense,

1084
00:50:19,480 --> 00:50:21,080
Speaker 1: this guy can be the limit. They just got to

1085
00:50:21,160 --> 00:50:23,920
Speaker 1: play up to their potential and hopefully get after that quarterback,

1086
00:50:23,960 --> 00:50:25,680
Speaker 1: because if they can, I think they can be even

1087
00:50:25,719 --> 00:50:31,160
Speaker 1: a top five defense go back to you woe. Well,

1088
00:50:31,560 --> 00:50:35,400
Speaker 1: so how do you feel with LV and Sean Lee

1089
00:50:35,440 --> 00:50:38,960
Speaker 1: as far as health wise, Yeah, that's that's the only

1090
00:50:39,080 --> 00:50:42,240
Speaker 1: drawback I think, um lve that neck. Like I said before,

1091
00:50:42,320 --> 00:50:44,480
Speaker 1: that's nothing to play with. I mean we've we've had

1092
00:50:44,520 --> 00:50:47,520
Speaker 1: teammates in the pass Devonte Holloman who had a similar

1093
00:50:47,600 --> 00:50:49,320
Speaker 1: neck injury, and he was done for the you know,

1094
00:50:49,400 --> 00:50:51,120
Speaker 1: for the remainder of his career. So that's something you

1095
00:50:51,520 --> 00:50:54,200
Speaker 1: cannot play around with. But if he's able to stay

1096
00:50:54,280 --> 00:50:56,720
Speaker 1: healthy throughout the entire year, I think he'll he'll revert

1097
00:50:56,760 --> 00:50:58,400
Speaker 1: back to his rookie season as far as how he

1098
00:50:58,480 --> 00:51:01,160
Speaker 1: was all over the field making tackle and making big plays,

1099
00:51:01,280 --> 00:51:02,960
Speaker 1: and as far as if if he goes down, I

1100
00:51:03,000 --> 00:51:05,840
Speaker 1: think Shaun Lee played the perfect role last year. He

1101
00:51:05,960 --> 00:51:07,680
Speaker 1: wasn't asked to be a starter. He wasn't asked to

1102
00:51:07,680 --> 00:51:09,919
Speaker 1: play you know, sixty snaps a game until those guys

1103
00:51:10,000 --> 00:51:12,280
Speaker 1: got injured. But if they can stay healthy and limited

1104
00:51:12,360 --> 00:51:15,040
Speaker 1: Shaun Lee's role, I think that that'll be great for

1105
00:51:15,080 --> 00:51:18,640
Speaker 1: their health and I'll be great for this defense. Danny,

1106
00:51:18,719 --> 00:51:24,920
Speaker 1: you talked a point that, um, you're gonna need to

1107
00:51:25,000 --> 00:51:27,839
Speaker 1: be able to play. Uh, you guys were there last time.

1108
00:51:27,880 --> 00:51:32,959
Speaker 1: I was uh again, So you're going to see guys

1109
00:51:33,520 --> 00:51:35,839
Speaker 1: because they have the regular work of the office season,

1110
00:51:36,680 --> 00:51:42,400
Speaker 1: get hurt, so and you're here. You're gonna have an

1111
00:51:42,440 --> 00:51:46,000
Speaker 1: opportunity to play. Based on shot Lee's history. And also

1112
00:51:46,280 --> 00:51:49,239
Speaker 1: because what we saw last year with Lake Vanderesh is

1113
00:51:49,239 --> 00:51:51,360
Speaker 1: he battled injury. So if you're backup linebacker on this

1114
00:51:51,440 --> 00:51:53,800
Speaker 1: football team, be ready to play, be ready to know

1115
00:51:53,880 --> 00:51:59,600
Speaker 1: all the positions on the football field. Yeah. Absolutely, And

1116
00:51:59,760 --> 00:52:03,120
Speaker 1: and is this will be this is more extreme than

1117
00:52:03,200 --> 00:52:06,320
Speaker 1: the than the lockout, mainly because there will probably be

1118
00:52:06,719 --> 00:52:11,319
Speaker 1: no no real contact with another team until the first game.

1119
00:52:11,600 --> 00:52:13,800
Speaker 1: Like when you're going against guys in practice with paths on,

1120
00:52:13,880 --> 00:52:15,640
Speaker 1: it's still practice. These are guys on your team. You

1121
00:52:15,760 --> 00:52:18,440
Speaker 1: go hard, but the intensity is picked up when you're

1122
00:52:18,440 --> 00:52:20,960
Speaker 1: playing against a different opponent and they won't see the

1123
00:52:21,080 --> 00:52:23,800
Speaker 1: head until the first game. So this is going to

1124
00:52:23,960 --> 00:52:26,359
Speaker 1: be a very interesting season of trying to keep guys

1125
00:52:26,440 --> 00:52:29,440
Speaker 1: healthy and keep guys on the practice squad that can

1126
00:52:29,480 --> 00:52:31,600
Speaker 1: step up and play when when you have those injuries.

1127
00:52:31,680 --> 00:52:33,799
Speaker 1: So I think it's gonna be huger to be something

1128
00:52:33,840 --> 00:52:37,040
Speaker 1: to see, something to watch. Yeah, I think it'll it'll

1129
00:52:37,360 --> 00:52:39,319
Speaker 1: be huge going into the season, I mean, and that's

1130
00:52:39,320 --> 00:52:41,040
Speaker 1: why I'm glad they brought in those kind of better

1131
00:52:41,120 --> 00:52:43,319
Speaker 1: in leaderships, especially on the defensive side of the ball.

1132
00:52:43,480 --> 00:52:45,880
Speaker 1: At the defensive line, got Everson Griffin, you know, linebacker

1133
00:52:45,960 --> 00:52:47,880
Speaker 1: Jordy Gas, Shawn Lee, and in the second dary you

1134
00:52:47,960 --> 00:52:50,120
Speaker 1: got guys like clinting out how Dix who who played

1135
00:52:50,160 --> 00:52:52,640
Speaker 1: this game a long time. So they can get those

1136
00:52:52,680 --> 00:52:54,560
Speaker 1: young guys ready to play. And it's going to be hard,

1137
00:52:54,640 --> 00:52:57,000
Speaker 1: especially for the rookies, not going against any other competition

1138
00:52:57,040 --> 00:52:59,400
Speaker 1: throughout the whole preseason and then boom, the regular season

1139
00:52:59,480 --> 00:53:01,040
Speaker 1: starts in and you got to be at the top

1140
00:53:01,080 --> 00:53:03,600
Speaker 1: of your game. And I'm transitioning from college NFL is

1141
00:53:03,640 --> 00:53:06,120
Speaker 1: not easy by any stretch of the imagination. So I

1142
00:53:06,200 --> 00:53:08,120
Speaker 1: think it's gonna be a hard, hard, first couple of weeks,

1143
00:53:08,239 --> 00:53:11,120
Speaker 1: especially for the younger guys transitioning, but hopefully they'll be

1144
00:53:11,120 --> 00:53:14,200
Speaker 1: able to get over it and get productive. What I

1145
00:53:14,320 --> 00:53:17,040
Speaker 1: was talking about that stat of the top ten defenses

1146
00:53:17,480 --> 00:53:22,000
Speaker 1: last year, New England, Buffalo, Baltimore, Minnesota, Kansas City, San Francisco,

1147
00:53:22,040 --> 00:53:24,280
Speaker 1: and Green Band. All of those teams made the playoffs.

1148
00:53:24,440 --> 00:53:27,280
Speaker 1: The three teams on that list that didn't Chicago, Pittsburgh,

1149
00:53:27,360 --> 00:53:33,400
Speaker 1: and Denver all had QUARTERBA Cowboys Scott even their backup,

1150
00:53:33,480 --> 00:53:36,360
Speaker 1: and you don't house of the quarter position. So the

1151
00:53:36,560 --> 00:53:40,719
Speaker 1: defense top ten devens, the Cowboys will have an opportunity

1152
00:53:40,800 --> 00:53:42,919
Speaker 1: to make the playoffs. And when you're talking about trying

1153
00:53:42,920 --> 00:53:49,279
Speaker 1: to make a Bowl, this is doable. Okay, since we've

1154
00:53:49,320 --> 00:53:52,480
Speaker 1: seen it, but I'm just saying it's doable. The defense

1155
00:53:52,560 --> 00:53:54,680
Speaker 1: can just pull a little bit better way if Mike

1156
00:53:54,800 --> 00:53:56,640
Speaker 1: Nolan can get to these guys lined up that they

1157
00:53:56,680 --> 00:54:00,440
Speaker 1: don't get beat by who hadn't played to beat out

1158
00:54:00,480 --> 00:54:04,240
Speaker 1: a month with the model tis oh that third Okay,

1159
00:54:05,160 --> 00:54:08,080
Speaker 1: I was there that Thursday nights Chicago, and and so

1160
00:54:09,880 --> 00:54:11,960
Speaker 1: normally during the game, you know, I'm writing down every play.

1161
00:54:12,000 --> 00:54:14,160
Speaker 1: It got to the third quarter and this dude scoring

1162
00:54:14,160 --> 00:54:15,719
Speaker 1: another time. Time, I put I stopped writing this. I'm

1163
00:54:15,719 --> 00:54:17,680
Speaker 1: about taking any more notes. This thing is I mean,

1164
00:54:17,719 --> 00:54:20,120
Speaker 1: this is is just done. I mean when mental Trubisky

1165
00:54:20,440 --> 00:54:22,279
Speaker 1: is out here bawling on you looking like a pro

1166
00:54:22,400 --> 00:54:24,719
Speaker 1: bo like this is a this is a rap that

1167
00:54:24,840 --> 00:54:26,880
Speaker 1: you know, Mayor Nelly needed to go, your boy j

1168
00:54:27,080 --> 00:54:29,720
Speaker 1: G needed to go, Like this is just bad it's bad.

1169
00:54:30,440 --> 00:54:32,319
Speaker 1: Oh that was awful. I mean really that was one

1170
00:54:32,360 --> 00:54:34,480
Speaker 1: of those that was one of the saddest nights that

1171
00:54:34,600 --> 00:54:36,680
Speaker 1: I've ever covered. The Cowboy game. I just look like,

1172
00:54:36,760 --> 00:54:40,520
Speaker 1: this is just this is not represent sorry baseball. How

1173
00:54:40,600 --> 00:54:42,800
Speaker 1: did we know? How did we know j G was

1174
00:54:42,880 --> 00:54:45,560
Speaker 1: coming up in this conversation? I didn't know, Like I said,

1175
00:54:45,600 --> 00:54:51,080
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. Now you talked about defense and no Onelan

1176
00:54:51,360 --> 00:54:53,520
Speaker 1: and then it's the way stall away from he went

1177
00:54:53,640 --> 00:54:56,160
Speaker 1: Mary and Nelle and he shot up. Oh, j j

Speaker 1: up out of the unless I feel, you know, go ahead, man, gohead.

1180
00:54:59,800 --> 00:55:03,840
Speaker 1: You know it's been a while. Did I did I?

1181
00:55:03,960 --> 00:55:05,719
Speaker 1: Did I lie at any point time? Did I lie

1182
00:55:05,800 --> 00:55:08,080
Speaker 1: at any point time? You you can't tell? All right?

1183
00:55:08,360 --> 00:55:10,640
Speaker 1: What was the most disappointing loss of the year last

1184
00:55:10,719 --> 00:55:12,400
Speaker 1: year for you? Guy? Was it? Was there a more

1185
00:55:12,440 --> 00:55:14,960
Speaker 1: disappointing loss in the Bears Jets game? I mean, you

1186
00:55:15,200 --> 00:55:17,120
Speaker 1: tell me it was the most disappointing loss When you

1187
00:55:17,160 --> 00:55:20,839
Speaker 1: just looked at them, you just said, dang, yeah, yeah,

1188
00:55:20,880 --> 00:55:26,479
Speaker 1: it had to be the Bears. It's a Thursday night game.

1189
00:55:27,360 --> 00:55:32,040
Speaker 1: You know, you're still in first place, and but it's

1190
00:55:32,040 --> 00:55:36,000
Speaker 1: slipping away, and and Mitchell Trubisky was not good. I mean,

1191
00:55:36,120 --> 00:55:38,920
Speaker 1: think about it. Mitchell Trubisky was so bad the all

1192
00:55:38,960 --> 00:55:41,279
Speaker 1: season they didn't pick up his option, and then they

1193
00:55:41,360 --> 00:55:44,440
Speaker 1: traded for Nick Foles, who had that crazy contract in Jacksonville.

1194
00:55:44,560 --> 00:55:47,360
Speaker 1: I mean, that's the dude who went oops upside your

1195
00:55:47,400 --> 00:55:50,520
Speaker 1: head on Thursday. But I'm sorry that I brought it up.

1196
00:55:50,719 --> 00:55:58,040
Speaker 1: I'm sorry that I didn't have ready was it was it?

1197
00:55:58,160 --> 00:56:00,560
Speaker 1: Ready to play the listen, they was the play. They

1198
00:56:00,600 --> 00:56:03,920
Speaker 1: got fat, they got beat. That's what That's just what happened.

1199
00:56:03,920 --> 00:56:05,799
Speaker 1: It happens in football. You get beat. They got off

1200
00:56:05,840 --> 00:56:07,440
Speaker 1: the bus and they thought they was gonna win. They

1201
00:56:07,520 --> 00:56:09,799
Speaker 1: was ready, and then once they got on the field

1202
00:56:09,840 --> 00:56:11,799
Speaker 1: and they got hit, they wasn't ready in the moment. Man,

1203
00:56:12,080 --> 00:56:13,640
Speaker 1: It's all right. Shout out to JAYZ out there in

1204
00:56:13,680 --> 00:56:16,440
Speaker 1: New York. We'll see how that goes. So Okay, speaking

1205
00:56:18,080 --> 00:56:30,959
Speaker 1: open up that Jason Barrett and talking about to press,

1206
00:56:31,560 --> 00:56:36,080
Speaker 1: say about between the head coach a super Bowl help

1207
00:56:36,160 --> 00:56:39,240
Speaker 1: coach you the former coach who started them off here NFL.

1208
00:56:39,320 --> 00:56:44,320
Speaker 1: I'll I'm gonna think I'm gonna say this. I woulda

1209
00:56:44,320 --> 00:56:48,160
Speaker 1: say this. They probably met twice so far, and they've

1210
00:56:48,200 --> 00:56:52,040
Speaker 1: been doing zoom zoom meetings throughout the whole summer, so

1211
00:56:52,160 --> 00:56:54,359
Speaker 1: I'm taking that with a grain assault. They haven't even

1212
00:56:54,480 --> 00:56:56,560
Speaker 1: been around each other or played in the game or

1213
00:56:56,640 --> 00:56:58,520
Speaker 1: being able to really do anything for him to say

1214
00:56:58,560 --> 00:57:01,880
Speaker 1: the communication is that girl. They haven't had to communicate

1215
00:57:02,120 --> 00:57:05,440
Speaker 1: except on Zoo. So I'll see how. I'll see how

1216
00:57:05,600 --> 00:57:09,759
Speaker 1: what happens as the season goes on. But communication throughout

1217
00:57:09,800 --> 00:57:13,120
Speaker 1: the summer during the pandemic, absolutely, Okay. I understand it's

1218
00:57:13,120 --> 00:57:16,400
Speaker 1: automatically better than it was previously. What else is he

1219
00:57:16,480 --> 00:57:20,400
Speaker 1: supposed to say? He's got to say positive stuff about

1220
00:57:20,440 --> 00:57:24,880
Speaker 1: his new his new head coach. Oh bad. If I'm

1221
00:57:24,880 --> 00:57:27,120
Speaker 1: gonna play Devil's advocate here and I'm gonna you know,

1222
00:57:27,240 --> 00:57:29,960
Speaker 1: I'm gonna read between the lines, so to speak up,

1223
00:57:30,200 --> 00:57:32,400
Speaker 1: I'm saying he said this man, he's saying, you know,

1224
00:57:32,520 --> 00:57:34,760
Speaker 1: it's finally nice. And I'm not saying it's true or not,

1225
00:57:34,880 --> 00:57:36,520
Speaker 1: but I'm just I'm just saying. What I think he's

1226
00:57:36,560 --> 00:57:40,040
Speaker 1: saying is that he's saying it's finally nice to you know,

1227
00:57:40,440 --> 00:57:43,080
Speaker 1: have all position groups on the same page. I mean,

1228
00:57:43,120 --> 00:57:45,240
Speaker 1: we're not, you know, officive Lineman doesn't think we're blocking

1229
00:57:45,280 --> 00:57:47,080
Speaker 1: it this way, and the running backs thinking we're going

1230
00:57:47,120 --> 00:57:49,080
Speaker 1: with it this way. And I just think he's kind

1231
00:57:49,120 --> 00:57:51,640
Speaker 1: of saying that, like you know, in the past, it

1232
00:57:51,800 --> 00:57:55,080
Speaker 1: just wasn't communicated as well throughout position groups. That's that's

1233
00:57:55,120 --> 00:57:57,160
Speaker 1: all I'm thinking. Maybe that maybe I'm out of pocket,

1234
00:57:57,200 --> 00:57:59,200
Speaker 1: but that's all I'm thinking. That could be. That could

1235
00:57:59,200 --> 00:58:02,439
Speaker 1: be accurate, right, it wasn't. It wasn't a cohesive unit.

1236
00:58:03,040 --> 00:58:05,280
Speaker 1: But what we don't know is if it's a cohesive

1237
00:58:05,400 --> 00:58:07,919
Speaker 1: unit now. They haven't had to do anything. They haven't

1238
00:58:07,960 --> 00:58:10,160
Speaker 1: been in a situation to where the person they all

1239
00:58:10,240 --> 00:58:12,760
Speaker 1: came in wrong, or you know, or they had to

1240
00:58:12,960 --> 00:58:15,120
Speaker 1: stop the clock, or they was in a two minute situation.

1241
00:58:15,280 --> 00:58:17,520
Speaker 1: All the communication had to be on point for them

1242
00:58:17,560 --> 00:58:18,920
Speaker 1: to go go down there and get a field goal

1243
00:58:19,000 --> 00:58:20,520
Speaker 1: or touchdown. They haven't had to do any of that

1244
00:58:20,640 --> 00:58:23,240
Speaker 1: in practice or the game. This is something that we

1245
00:58:23,280 --> 00:58:25,480
Speaker 1: will we will learn as they get into those to

1246
00:58:25,600 --> 00:58:29,120
Speaker 1: those things and our hold. I hope, please, please, I

1247
00:58:29,280 --> 00:58:32,160
Speaker 1: hope that they're able to get this stuff correct so

1248
00:58:32,520 --> 00:58:34,000
Speaker 1: we could be a better team than we have been

1249
00:58:34,040 --> 00:58:36,680
Speaker 1: in the past. So I'm hoping for McCarthy, but I'm

1250
00:58:36,680 --> 00:58:38,040
Speaker 1: just saying we haven't been able to prove it yet.

1251
00:58:38,040 --> 00:58:39,920
Speaker 1: I've seen you smiling over the new we go ahead, man,

1252
00:58:40,000 --> 00:58:49,320
Speaker 1: go ahead. I understand that the listen players in expertation.

1253
00:58:49,440 --> 00:58:53,080
Speaker 1: So if the defense improve and they can get turnovers

1254
00:58:53,120 --> 00:58:58,040
Speaker 1: and they're not predictable, if according to what Dak Prescott says,

1255
00:58:58,080 --> 00:59:01,680
Speaker 1: there's some more communication going on here, a team that

1256
00:59:01,800 --> 00:59:04,840
Speaker 1: went eight mate last year should be able to find

1257
00:59:05,360 --> 00:59:14,840
Speaker 1: two more Vegas gentlemen, should we raise the expectation based

1258
00:59:14,920 --> 00:59:21,160
Speaker 1: off you think the Cowboys can do with this? Knwi,

1259
00:59:21,280 --> 00:59:23,760
Speaker 1: Come on, come on, NEWI we talked about communication. You

1260
00:59:23,880 --> 00:59:26,480
Speaker 1: watched the same games I did, and then going out

1261
00:59:26,480 --> 00:59:29,360
Speaker 1: there and losing to Chicago and losing to New York.

1262
00:59:29,680 --> 00:59:32,200
Speaker 1: I didn't see nothing wrong with communication. They did not

1263
00:59:32,400 --> 00:59:35,360
Speaker 1: play well, all right, when they was dropping passes with

1264
00:59:35,520 --> 00:59:37,880
Speaker 1: the ball, communicating with your hands and you dropped it,

1265
00:59:37,960 --> 00:59:40,040
Speaker 1: what are we talking about? They didn't play They didn't

1266
00:59:40,040 --> 00:59:42,640
Speaker 1: They didn't play well enough. I didn't see like some

1267
00:59:42,760 --> 00:59:45,680
Speaker 1: of the stuff right special teams was crazy and they

1268
00:59:45,720 --> 00:59:48,240
Speaker 1: had communication problems on that end. And we see that

1269
00:59:48,320 --> 00:59:50,640
Speaker 1: they made the change change from that, but that didn't

1270
00:59:50,680 --> 00:59:53,320
Speaker 1: lose them the playoffs. They didn't play well enough and

1271
00:59:53,400 --> 00:59:56,200
Speaker 1: communication to play the key in it, but the player

1272
00:59:56,240 --> 00:59:57,840
Speaker 1: wasn't enough to part from them to be able to

1273
00:59:57,880 --> 01:00:02,840
Speaker 1: say we're making a super Bowl run. Yeah, I'm gonna

1274
01:00:02,840 --> 01:00:05,919
Speaker 1: hold I'm gonna hold off my reservations until at least

1275
01:00:05,920 --> 01:00:07,800
Speaker 1: the first at least the first game. I gotta see

1276
01:00:07,840 --> 01:00:10,000
Speaker 1: how they how they play together as a team or

1277
01:00:10,120 --> 01:00:12,000
Speaker 1: some maybe some maybe they'll have some type of scrimmage

1278
01:00:12,040 --> 01:00:13,960
Speaker 1: on TV or something. I gotta see something before I

1279
01:00:14,040 --> 01:00:16,800
Speaker 1: get my reservations. But um, yeah, I think, I mean

1280
01:00:16,880 --> 01:00:18,439
Speaker 1: they might make it. I got them going nine wins.

1281
01:00:18,440 --> 01:00:20,920
Speaker 1: I got them at nine wins, so we'll see, all right,

1282
01:00:21,000 --> 01:00:24,720
Speaker 1: So let me let me spin it back this way. Okay, Um,

1283
01:00:26,320 --> 01:00:31,160
Speaker 1: You've got some players, key players in my opinion, who

1284
01:00:31,280 --> 01:00:35,520
Speaker 1: who I think will be better. For instance, Michael Gallup

1285
01:00:35,600 --> 01:00:39,080
Speaker 1: in year three, Michael Gallup's numbers compared very favorably with

1286
01:00:39,120 --> 01:00:41,600
Speaker 1: the Mariti Cooper's last year, and the offense will some

1287
01:00:41,720 --> 01:00:44,120
Speaker 1: terminology will change. They're kind of saying it shouldn't still

1288
01:00:44,160 --> 01:00:46,000
Speaker 1: be in the same way you got Ezekiel Elli. I mean,

1289
01:00:46,040 --> 01:00:49,160
Speaker 1: here's another guy here who've talked about the offseason not

1290
01:00:49,240 --> 01:00:52,840
Speaker 1: getting enough respect. Here. If we have some players that

1291
01:00:52,920 --> 01:00:54,720
Speaker 1: one has some players step up a little bit and

1292
01:00:55,040 --> 01:00:58,560
Speaker 1: and in my go better by Michael Garthy, I don't

1293
01:00:58,560 --> 01:01:01,920
Speaker 1: think it's a reasonable do you say that this should

1294
01:01:02,000 --> 01:01:04,160
Speaker 1: be a ten win team? Now? The one thing that

1295
01:01:04,280 --> 01:01:07,480
Speaker 1: I will say could be attachment. There's two things. One

1296
01:01:08,840 --> 01:01:11,000
Speaker 1: not having enough time all seasons to work with a

1297
01:01:11,040 --> 01:01:13,920
Speaker 1: new coach, and then two we don't know what will

1298
01:01:13,960 --> 01:01:16,360
Speaker 1: happen with COVID health. I mean, that's that's kind of

1299
01:01:16,400 --> 01:01:19,840
Speaker 1: out of your control. But I think it's crazy to

1300
01:01:19,920 --> 01:01:21,760
Speaker 1: sit up here and say that this is this is

1301
01:01:21,840 --> 01:01:24,960
Speaker 1: a ten win type of talent team that they have here.

1302
01:01:25,160 --> 01:01:27,560
Speaker 1: Because we know Washington is going to have some bumps

1303
01:01:27,640 --> 01:01:29,720
Speaker 1: this year and the Giants when we're not expecting this

1304
01:01:29,760 --> 01:01:31,840
Speaker 1: thing is supposed to be between the Cowboys and Philadelphia.

1305
01:01:31,880 --> 01:01:33,560
Speaker 1: We know whever you year, somebody could change a little bit.

1306
01:01:33,760 --> 01:01:36,880
Speaker 1: But I'm thinking that the Cowboys ten wins is not crazy.

1307
01:01:37,080 --> 01:01:38,800
Speaker 1: I'm not being a homer when I say that. When

1308
01:01:38,840 --> 01:01:41,000
Speaker 1: you based on the kind of talent that they have here,

1309
01:01:42,000 --> 01:01:45,200
Speaker 1: this is so familiar newly in the last five six years.

1310
01:01:45,480 --> 01:01:47,000
Speaker 1: When if you went into the season and say, with

1311
01:01:47,120 --> 01:01:49,960
Speaker 1: the talent, we shouldn't win ten games. Hey man, you

1312
01:01:50,040 --> 01:01:51,480
Speaker 1: know but we know at the pro But you know,

1313
01:01:52,240 --> 01:01:56,000
Speaker 1: I'm just asking. I'm saying with the teller, the taler'

1314
01:01:56,280 --> 01:01:58,560
Speaker 1: teller when you get when you went into a season

1315
01:01:58,760 --> 01:02:01,960
Speaker 1: how many times in the last however, however many so years,

1316
01:02:02,000 --> 01:02:04,000
Speaker 1: and you said, you know what, with this talent, we

1317
01:02:04,040 --> 01:02:07,360
Speaker 1: should win less than ten games, all right? And I've

1318
01:02:07,360 --> 01:02:10,080
Speaker 1: always put up the number two. The last head coach

1319
01:02:10,240 --> 01:02:12,680
Speaker 1: was good for two losses a year that they shouldn't have.

1320
01:02:13,240 --> 01:02:15,880
Speaker 1: Too many times the Cowboys under Jason Garrett would win

1321
01:02:15,960 --> 01:02:18,160
Speaker 1: games because they could out talent. You but if it

1322
01:02:18,360 --> 01:02:20,680
Speaker 1: was your talent against their talent, and then coaching got

1323
01:02:20,760 --> 01:02:22,960
Speaker 1: involved a lot of times Cowboys check that out or

1324
01:02:23,040 --> 01:02:26,040
Speaker 1: the other teams. We're talking about talent Cowboys. But but

1325
01:02:26,120 --> 01:02:28,360
Speaker 1: we thought about talents. What But but guess what now

1326
01:02:28,400 --> 01:02:33,120
Speaker 1: you got super Bow winning coach. There got it? I believe,

1327
01:02:35,080 --> 01:02:39,280
Speaker 1: I don't care. I know you don't get that. You

1328
01:02:39,320 --> 01:02:41,360
Speaker 1: get that, Preston already saying it. The communication is better.

1329
01:02:41,400 --> 01:02:43,520
Speaker 1: I'm just trying to tell you, man that my marriage

1330
01:02:43,520 --> 01:02:45,560
Speaker 1: had on zooe calls for five months ago. You've been

1331
01:02:45,600 --> 01:02:47,880
Speaker 1: on zooe calls. I mean he got good Wi Fi

1332
01:02:48,360 --> 01:02:52,960
Speaker 1: you got, That's what Danny, Are we're gonna have to

1333
01:02:53,000 --> 01:02:55,280
Speaker 1: put a bet on this. Yeah, that's a little you

1334
01:02:55,360 --> 01:02:59,040
Speaker 1: already You're already owe too. Knew it, You're already owe too.

1335
01:02:59,160 --> 01:03:02,120
Speaker 1: My listen, my myth that has been working all right,

1336
01:03:02,240 --> 01:03:04,960
Speaker 1: yours is not. So i'moula stick with what I've been doing,

1337
01:03:05,040 --> 01:03:06,560
Speaker 1: all right, I woulna stick with what I've been doing.

1338
01:03:06,680 --> 01:03:16,680
Speaker 1: I got two three meals on this four man, I

1339
01:03:16,840 --> 01:03:18,800
Speaker 1: might have to do I might have to just do

1340
01:03:18,880 --> 01:03:25,440
Speaker 1: it uber eat, But but I feel this confident in

1341
01:03:25,560 --> 01:03:29,240
Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy. I'll put something down on it. I'll put

1342
01:03:29,320 --> 01:03:32,320
Speaker 1: something down. I feel that confident. Okay, I do that.

1343
01:03:32,440 --> 01:03:34,760
Speaker 1: That's just that that they'll be able to I mean,

1344
01:03:34,840 --> 01:03:41,040
Speaker 1: look there, they haven't been that far away. Now. I'm

1345
01:03:41,080 --> 01:03:43,280
Speaker 1: not sitting and you know, man, I'm not the homer

1346
01:03:43,360 --> 01:03:45,560
Speaker 1: Homer kind of guy. I like to keep it real.

1347
01:03:46,080 --> 01:03:48,560
Speaker 1: But at the same time, when your coach is gonna

1348
01:03:48,600 --> 01:03:50,920
Speaker 1: get you beat twice a year because things are not

1349
01:03:51,080 --> 01:03:54,960
Speaker 1: going correct, the New England game, the Jet game, Chicago,

1350
01:03:55,440 --> 01:03:59,040
Speaker 1: that embarrassment against the Buffalo Bills, I think you got

1351
01:03:59,080 --> 01:04:01,680
Speaker 1: a guy here who can go ahead and help them

1352
01:04:01,800 --> 01:04:04,920
Speaker 1: get better. McCarthy reminds me a lot of Rick Carlisle.

1353
01:04:04,960 --> 01:04:08,160
Speaker 1: When Rick Carlisle got to Dallas and started coaching the Marriage.

1354
01:04:08,280 --> 01:04:12,120
Speaker 1: He'd been a coach of the Year with Indiana and Detroit,

1355
01:04:12,360 --> 01:04:14,160
Speaker 1: and when he left Detroit, Larry Brown comes and then

1356
01:04:14,200 --> 01:04:15,680
Speaker 1: wins the championship, and a lot of people thought, you

1357
01:04:15,720 --> 01:04:18,320
Speaker 1: know what, Carlisle can't coach, He's not that good. He

1358
01:04:18,440 --> 01:04:21,040
Speaker 1: also had a team that was a contender, a NBA

1359
01:04:21,160 --> 01:04:23,920
Speaker 1: championship contender, but they had that thing called the Malas

1360
01:04:23,960 --> 01:04:25,440
Speaker 1: and the Palace when he was coached in Indiana. And

1361
01:04:25,480 --> 01:04:27,640
Speaker 1: then of course, you know, Ron Artest and Stevie Jackson

1362
01:04:27,680 --> 01:04:30,040
Speaker 1: got suspended, that team got blown up, and you saw

1363
01:04:30,120 --> 01:04:32,560
Speaker 1: what happened. When you got a guy who had his

1364
01:04:32,720 --> 01:04:35,000
Speaker 1: coaching ability mixed in with some talent, he was able

1365
01:04:35,040 --> 01:04:37,880
Speaker 1: to win. I believe Mike McCarthy is that type of coach.

1366
01:04:38,040 --> 01:04:39,800
Speaker 1: I believe that to a guy who's in a Super Bowl,

1367
01:04:39,880 --> 01:04:42,480

1430
