We're at the fifty yard line 18 00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:00,480 Speaker 1: of Forts Center and a team is warming up and 19 00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:03,320 Speaker 1: stretching right now. So we'll be talking to you a 20 00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:05,160 Speaker 1: lot about what's going on out here. But at the 21 00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:07,120 Speaker 1: same time, we want to talk about the big picture 22 00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:10,720 Speaker 1: of training camp. Heading into training camp, the writers for 23 00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:14,920 Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys dot Com put together a series of articles 24 00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:18,039 Speaker 1: that they call twenty Questions, and it hit on twenty 25 00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:21,240 Speaker 1: of the most important questions I guess for the Cowboys 26 00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:24,880 Speaker 1: heading into training camp and into the season that the 27 00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:26,680 Speaker 1: Cowboys were going to have to answer good or bad 28 00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:28,800 Speaker 1: one way or the other. We're gonna find out and 29 00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:30,480 Speaker 1: I don't know if some of these questions can even 30 00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:33,360 Speaker 1: be answered until we get to December. However, we're gonna 31 00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:35,200 Speaker 1: try to day to see if we will learn anything 32 00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:39,000 Speaker 1: more during training camp that helps us answer these twenty questions. 33 00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:40,880 Speaker 1: So let's get started. I'll start with the first question. 34 00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:43,760 Speaker 1: Let's start with number twenty. The question was who has 35 00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:49,560 Speaker 1: higher expectations, Randy Gregory or David Irving. Which is interesting 36 00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:51,840 Speaker 1: because at the time when you pose this question now 37 00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:55,040 Speaker 1: before the suspension, Yeah, yeah, well no, we know about 38 00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:57,720 Speaker 1: the suspension at that point when they answer this, yes, 39 00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:00,560 Speaker 1: they hear about they knew about the suspension at that time. However, 40 00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:04,120 Speaker 1: most people probably felt at that time like, let's just 41 00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:07,120 Speaker 1: wait and see what Randy Gregory is like. We have 42 00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:09,800 Speaker 1: not seen him on a football field in a long time. 43 00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:12,399 Speaker 1: That's exactly where we are right now. Let's just wait 44 00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:15,000 Speaker 1: and see. So has anything changed for you as far 45 00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:17,560 Speaker 1: as those two in the expectations again knowing also we 46 00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:19,160 Speaker 1: didn't know that David Everyone wasn't going to be a 47 00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:21,359 Speaker 1: camp at all at that point. I'll tell you this. 48 00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:24,520 Speaker 1: I mean, the change for me is that now I 49 00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:27,919 Speaker 1: do have somewhat of an expectation. Before as far as 50 00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:32,000 Speaker 1: Randy Gregory goes, I didn't really have any expectations. I'm like, Okay, 51 00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:35,359 Speaker 1: well let's just see how he goes and what happens. 52 00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:37,960 Speaker 1: And clearly he came in here looking like a beast 53 00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:41,200 Speaker 1: and he's doing great so far. So now that gave 54 00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:46,240 Speaker 1: me some higher expectations. It's I forgot we answered that question. 55 00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:50,200 Speaker 1: And it's insane how much can change in six weeks, 56 00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:54,520 Speaker 1: Because I remember I wrote like anything Randy Gregory can 57 00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:58,280 Speaker 1: do is a bonus. Honestly, Like my expectations for him 58 00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:02,399 Speaker 1: are that low between not trusting his availability and honestly, 59 00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:06,240 Speaker 1: if we're being real, not trusting that we know that 60 00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:09,000 Speaker 1: he's actually that good of a player. Like it's people 61 00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:11,480 Speaker 1: act like he was like DeMarcus Ware when he left 62 00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:13,920 Speaker 1: this team. That's not true, like he had three sacks 63 00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:18,440 Speaker 1: in his rookie preseason. Injuries limited him for basically half 64 00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:20,360 Speaker 1: of his rookie year, and it took him the rest 65 00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:22,480 Speaker 1: of it to catch back up to speed. And then 66 00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:25,239 Speaker 1: he had a sack in a meaningless game in Week 67 00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:29,079 Speaker 1: seventeen of twenty sixteen when nobody important was even playing, 68 00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:32,280 Speaker 1: Like that's all we had seen from him. So for 69 00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:34,440 Speaker 1: him to show up and look as good as he has, like, 70 00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:37,080 Speaker 1: I still can't wrap my round my head around how 71 00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:40,320 Speaker 1: crazy it is, how good he looks, how much progress 72 00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:44,360 Speaker 1: he's made to the point where, yeah, like it's hard 73 00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:46,720 Speaker 1: not to have crazy expectations that he could be a 74 00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:48,920 Speaker 1: really great player if he can get on the field. Okay, 75 00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:51,360 Speaker 1: I'll ask this, who's gonna play more games this year? 76 00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:59,200 Speaker 1: Randy Gregor David Irvy. Good freaking question and Randy running 77 00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:03,360 Speaker 1: out here right now. It's funny because we talked about 78 00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:05,800 Speaker 1: I mean, we talked about this yesterday and again for 79 00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:10,040 Speaker 1: the third day in a row. You know, Cowboys officials 80 00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:13,560 Speaker 1: are say they have no reason to suspect that Randy 81 00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:17,160 Speaker 1: Gregory has any trouble coming his way. But as Jerry 82 00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:20,320 Speaker 1: Jones pointed out this morning, like that's just probably going 83 00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:22,320 Speaker 1: to be a thing that they wake up thinking about 84 00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:24,719 Speaker 1: every day that Randy's here, whether I mean, you know, 85 00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:28,000 Speaker 1: whether whether there's trouble coming or whether there's not the 86 00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:30,760 Speaker 1: potential for it to be, there is always going to 87 00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:32,960 Speaker 1: be around. You know. I had talked to Stephen Jones 88 00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:36,200 Speaker 1: yesterday for just a little bit and exactly what you 89 00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:39,200 Speaker 1: had said earlier in the show yesterday a day that 90 00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:41,840 Speaker 1: they're always the last to know. You mean, we think 91 00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:45,680 Speaker 1: the Cowboys the front office is going to know, and yeah, 92 00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:49,320 Speaker 1: they might hear about something the day before the announcement, 93 00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:53,000 Speaker 1: but the NFL league office knows things that's that's happening 94 00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:57,000 Speaker 1: seemingly before the Cowboys do. So yeah, that everyone over 95 00:04:57,040 --> 00:04:59,480 Speaker 1: here is saying, you know, we know what we know, 96 00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:03,200 Speaker 1: but doesn't necessarily mean that there's nothing going on. But 97 00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:07,480 Speaker 1: that's exactly and again, even if nothing is going on, 98 00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:11,320 Speaker 1: that fear is just gonna be around Randy Gregory for 99 00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:13,480 Speaker 1: the foreseeable future. That's just something that you have to 100 00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:18,200 Speaker 1: be mindful of. And so I don't know, everything I'm 101 00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:21,040 Speaker 1: looking at suggests that day Randy Gregory is going to 102 00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:22,560 Speaker 1: be a big part of this season, and it would 103 00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:25,719 Speaker 1: be big for the Cowboys. If he is David Irving, 104 00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:29,040 Speaker 1: I haven't even thought about him in three or four weeks. Yeah, 105 00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:32,520 Speaker 1: who will be the backup quarterback for this season? You 106 00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:35,159 Speaker 1: guys At the time that the conversation was really about 107 00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:39,719 Speaker 1: Ken Mike White actually step up and surpass Cooper Rush. 108 00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:42,640 Speaker 1: But my question for you guys is is Cooper Rush 109 00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:45,080 Speaker 1: your backup? Is Mike White your backup? Or is this 110 00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:48,119 Speaker 1: someone else that will be your backup? At this point 111 00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:51,520 Speaker 1: based on what we've seen, Cooper Rush is your backup quarterback. 112 00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:53,760 Speaker 1: I said it then, and it's true today, and it 113 00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:57,440 Speaker 1: would be true next week as well. Okay, Cooper Rush 114 00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:00,680 Speaker 1: is the backup quarterback. Cooper Rush is not next in 115 00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:05,640 Speaker 1: line to start though. That's that's that's the Okay. He 116 00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:07,839 Speaker 1: will be the backup quarterback on a game day, He'll 117 00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:10,520 Speaker 1: finish your game. If he has to start another game, 118 00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:12,880 Speaker 1: that won't be Cooper Rush. And then I don't think 119 00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:16,000 Speaker 1: I can get on board with that A lot like 120 00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:19,120 Speaker 1: twenty fifteen. You know, he gave Brandon Weeden his very 121 00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:21,400 Speaker 1: brief shot, and then you did a trade to bring 122 00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:23,000 Speaker 1: a guy in here. I don't think I don't think 123 00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:25,159 Speaker 1: this team would feel good about Cooper Rush needing to 124 00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:28,279 Speaker 1: start more than a game or two, right, Um, But again, 125 00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:30,880 Speaker 1: I don't think And that's you know. I was kind 126 00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:32,640 Speaker 1: of going back and forth with fans here this morning 127 00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:35,360 Speaker 1: because Jason Garrett said this morning within the last half 128 00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:38,240 Speaker 1: hour that he feels good about Cooper Rush as his backup, 129 00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:42,360 Speaker 1: which people predictably lost their minds because Cooper Rush looked 130 00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:45,280 Speaker 1: terrible on Sunday night. Yeah, but again, I mean, I'm 131 00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:47,600 Speaker 1: sorry if what's going to say though? No, well not 132 00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:49,320 Speaker 1: only what else is he gonna say? But again, what 133 00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:51,479 Speaker 1: else do you want? Like, I'm sorry if I sound 134 00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:53,680 Speaker 1: like the company man right now, but like, what do 135 00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:55,480 Speaker 1: you want? Do you want to go give up a 136 00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:58,600 Speaker 1: draft pick for Teddy Bridgewater? Why? This is a team 137 00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:01,120 Speaker 1: that expects Dak to be available for sixteen games and 138 00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:03,520 Speaker 1: I do too, And so I don't care. I really 139 00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:06,679 Speaker 1: don't unless you know, we'll deal with that when it happens. 140 00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:08,479 Speaker 1: And if you need to go get Teddy Bridgewater in 141 00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:11,560 Speaker 1: October because Dak has something happened to him, knock on wood, 142 00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:13,920 Speaker 1: worry about that, then why do I care? Right now? 143 00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:15,800 Speaker 1: You know what I would have you said? What do 144 00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:18,400 Speaker 1: you want? What I think should have happened here. And 145 00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:20,280 Speaker 1: it's not like I was screaming for it too much 146 00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:22,160 Speaker 1: in the summer, so it's hard to come back now 147 00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:24,000 Speaker 1: and say it. But I do think that they need 148 00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:28,040 Speaker 1: a little bit more veteran experience in the room. Not 149 00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:29,920 Speaker 1: anyone that's going to challenge him or he has to 150 00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:32,880 Speaker 1: look over his shoulder every interception or every bad play, 151 00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:35,120 Speaker 1: but just somebody that can he can walk off of 152 00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:37,320 Speaker 1: the sidelines too. And you know, maybe it's a m 153 00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:40,680 Speaker 1: account type of player. And I know there's fourteen of them, 154 00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:43,680 Speaker 1: so one of those guys, but um, you know, just 155 00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:46,200 Speaker 1: somebody like that. But at this point, I don't know 156 00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:48,240 Speaker 1: if you can go get that guy for the record 157 00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:50,880 Speaker 1: for the fifth time, I agree with everything you just said, 158 00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:54,520 Speaker 1: but they don't. They and he feels good about it, 159 00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:56,520 Speaker 1: said this morning they like having a young room and 160 00:07:56,680 --> 00:07:59,360 Speaker 1: that's what they want. Again. I think Dak's gonna start 161 00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:01,600 Speaker 1: sixteen games year or so. I don't really care. It's 162 00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:04,960 Speaker 1: a moot point. Who is the bounce back candidate, the 163 00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:08,480 Speaker 1: biggest bounce back candidate on this team. You guys threw 164 00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:10,920 Speaker 1: out Dan Bailey, and I think it was you Dave 165 00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:15,239 Speaker 1: that also throughout Cole Beasley as as your guy, Um, 166 00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:17,960 Speaker 1: who would you guys say, is the guy that you 167 00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:21,080 Speaker 1: think will have the biggest comeback season based upon what 168 00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:23,320 Speaker 1: they did last year relative to what you expect him 169 00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:28,360 Speaker 1: to do this year? If you can promise me, Randy God, 170 00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:30,600 Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, you can't be better than that. You 171 00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:34,719 Speaker 1: can promise me he's gonna play. I mean, and I'm 172 00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:36,920 Speaker 1: the guy that I hate to put those expectations on 173 00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:39,640 Speaker 1: the guy, but like, double digit sacks doesn't sound that 174 00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:42,720 Speaker 1: crazy based on what we've seen. So I mean, with 175 00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:45,480 Speaker 1: what you saw the other nine in him, if he 176 00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:47,640 Speaker 1: were able to play every game, like, how could he 177 00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:49,480 Speaker 1: not get to the quarterback once a game? I mean, 178 00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:52,040 Speaker 1: I know that that doesn't happen, but well it does. 179 00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:54,080 Speaker 1: Actually some guys that get more than that on an 180 00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:56,480 Speaker 1: average tank did it last year? Yeah, that's true, he 181 00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:59,000 Speaker 1: got he was right there. Um, you know some other 182 00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:01,319 Speaker 1: candidates for that. Dan Bailey was kind of what the 183 00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:03,680 Speaker 1: question was designed to be around, and that's what they're 184 00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:06,000 Speaker 1: hoping that he's the biggest comeback player. But you know, 185 00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:07,600 Speaker 1: you ask a lot of guys. I'm looking at Tavon 186 00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:10,200 Speaker 1: Austin catch a little swing pass around for him. You know, 187 00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:12,760 Speaker 1: he's looking to have a comeback season had some injuries. 188 00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:16,240 Speaker 1: Terrence Williams would be one. Cole Beasley, uh would would 189 00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:18,800 Speaker 1: be another. Um you know, in their own weird way. 190 00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:21,439 Speaker 1: Tyrn Smith probably wants to have a bounce back year, 191 00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:23,560 Speaker 1: even though he made the Pro Bowl, uh, you know, 192 00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:25,320 Speaker 1: but wants to play a little bit more than he 193 00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:30,920 Speaker 1: did or better than he did. I don't think that 194 00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:33,320 Speaker 1: for another team. I don't think Jazz makes this team 195 00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:36,319 Speaker 1: at all. But uh, we we're actually gonna shoot a 196 00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:39,360 Speaker 1: video today that's gonna be posted hopefully tomorrow where we're 197 00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:41,959 Speaker 1: gonna break down the roster and we had to kind 198 00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:44,480 Speaker 1: of go through it a little bit, and surprisingly we 199 00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:46,640 Speaker 1: didn't even We didn't even want to waste any time 200 00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:48,960 Speaker 1: on Chaz. And I think he's gonna get it. He's 201 00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:51,760 Speaker 1: gonna get a cut and we're not even gonna discuss it. 202 00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:56,320 Speaker 1: He hasn't done anything. Byron, Yeah, I thought him. I 203 00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:58,720 Speaker 1: thought about that. I think it's it's a good answer. 204 00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:01,400 Speaker 1: Although you know, when I think of bounce back, I mean, 205 00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:04,360 Speaker 1: Byron wasn't great last year, but he started and was 206 00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:07,520 Speaker 1: productive for you. He wasn't great, I know, But when 207 00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:11,360 Speaker 1: I think of like Cole Beasley has to be disappointed 208 00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:13,040 Speaker 1: with the year that he had Damn Bailey again like 209 00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:16,280 Speaker 1: most accurate history. But I will say this Byron to 210 00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:18,480 Speaker 1: me is more like a career bounce back, because I 211 00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:20,679 Speaker 1: think he was all but washed up as a safety 212 00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:23,160 Speaker 1: from the standpoint when you start thinking about a second contract, 213 00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:25,600 Speaker 1: I don't know that that the Cowboys were really thinking, 214 00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:27,360 Speaker 1: Hey did we definitely got to do a second contract 215 00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:29,480 Speaker 1: with this guy. That doesn't mean somebody else doesn't pick 216 00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:31,240 Speaker 1: him up, but I don't think he was due for 217 00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:34,760 Speaker 1: big payday. However, if he plays this season as he's 218 00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:37,680 Speaker 1: played during training camp, then he will now create a 219 00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:40,640 Speaker 1: conversation for himself, either here or somewhere else for somebody 220 00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:42,079 Speaker 1: to sign him as a cornerback. I don't know if 221 00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:44,880 Speaker 1: this is fair for bounce back, but you know, Zekiel 222 00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:48,640 Speaker 1: Elliott is obviously entering this season with a chip on 223 00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:51,000 Speaker 1: his shoulder, and we will get to that one. Okay, 224 00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:52,800 Speaker 1: I don't know you did the twenty question. I know, 225 00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:55,880 Speaker 1: I don't remember. I'm surprising you guys with all of 226 00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:58,760 Speaker 1: these aren't kind of yeah, they're all relevant right now? 227 00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:00,960 Speaker 1: Yeah they are, they are. So let's move on. We 228 00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:03,000 Speaker 1: talked a little about Dan Bailey, But the next question 229 00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:07,280 Speaker 1: is the special Will special teams see problems due to 230 00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:10,120 Speaker 1: all the defections you lost Rich Pasacchia, you lost key 231 00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:13,320 Speaker 1: players like Keith Smith and Kyle Wilbur on your special teams. 232 00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:15,720 Speaker 1: You now have Keith O'Quinn running that group. Do you 233 00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:18,120 Speaker 1: think that special teams? Has there been anything that you've 234 00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:20,600 Speaker 1: seen so far to suggest that special teams takes a hit. 235 00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:23,600 Speaker 1: I'll answer that I don't think that you can ever 236 00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:26,600 Speaker 1: judge as special teams in the preseason. I always say 237 00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:29,199 Speaker 1: that when fans go crazy because a punt return comes 238 00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:31,520 Speaker 1: back for a touchdown, they're just trying to get by 239 00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:33,559 Speaker 1: right now. They're trying to figure out who goes where. 240 00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:36,920 Speaker 1: It's kind of chaotic for them. I think they're going 241 00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:40,600 Speaker 1: to be pretty good on special teams because they're very deep. 242 00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:42,960 Speaker 1: What position are the deepest that right now, it seems 243 00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:45,439 Speaker 1: like linebacker. When you're a deepest linebacker, you're gonna be 244 00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:47,880 Speaker 1: good on special teams. And like we've said before, they've 245 00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:49,719 Speaker 1: got a running back probably gonna make the team in 246 00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:52,840 Speaker 1: Boscarborough who's got a linebacker type of body. He'll play 247 00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:54,720 Speaker 1: some as well. I think they're gonna be okay there. 248 00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:57,240 Speaker 1: I think they're gonna be better than ok I mean, 249 00:11:57,280 --> 00:12:00,760 Speaker 1: the three specialists have looked really good throughout camp. I mean, 250 00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:03,600 Speaker 1: Bailey had had his moment where everything looked bad, but 251 00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:06,960 Speaker 1: he's been rock solid ever since. And then yeah, I 252 00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:12,480 Speaker 1: think of guys like Damian Wilson, Cavan Frasier Vett, and Jamazola. 253 00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:14,920 Speaker 1: Wally is another one like those three guys. Keith O 254 00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:17,200 Speaker 1: Quinn's been here forever. I mean, it's not like he's 255 00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:20,240 Speaker 1: new to this thing. I think they're gonna be fine now. 256 00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:22,600 Speaker 1: Of all these questions, there are a few that stand 257 00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:25,560 Speaker 1: out as questions that we can really sink our teeth 258 00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:28,439 Speaker 1: into that I don't know that we have answers for yet, 259 00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:31,040 Speaker 1: but they're worth discussions. This is one of them at 260 00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:34,280 Speaker 1: number sixteen. How will the tight end position sort out? 261 00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:37,679 Speaker 1: You've got Jeff Swain, You've got Blake jaw When, you've 262 00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:41,480 Speaker 1: got Dalton Schultz, You've got Rico Gathers, And they all 263 00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:46,880 Speaker 1: have something about them that they all have certain people 264 00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:48,760 Speaker 1: that are pulling for them, I guess is a good 265 00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:51,280 Speaker 1: way to put it. And they have different unique things 266 00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:53,240 Speaker 1: about each one of them. Did you have something to say. Yeah, 267 00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:56,840 Speaker 1: for the record, and I think they put this list 268 00:12:56,840 --> 00:12:59,000 Speaker 1: together some of the writers. I remember saying to Rob, 269 00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:02,480 Speaker 1: how is this number sixteen? Like? How is this like 270 00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:04,439 Speaker 1: number four? Yeah? I thought this would have been a 271 00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:07,719 Speaker 1: lot higher on the list, Uh, not knowing that that 272 00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:09,400 Speaker 1: we would get to this point in trading camp and 273 00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:12,640 Speaker 1: nobody would separate themselves at all. Yeah, but uh, but 274 00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:15,920 Speaker 1: I do this sounds funny coming at number sixteen, because 275 00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:18,920 Speaker 1: I can't imagine fifteen more questions more pressing than this. 276 00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:23,439 Speaker 1: Um but um, I don't know where I was that there. 277 00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:29,240 Speaker 1: You were you risk the cos you honestly you weren't here. 278 00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:30,840 Speaker 1: I don't remember where you were, but you weren't here. 279 00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:32,960 Speaker 1: I don't know you were on. So has it sorted out? 280 00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:34,600 Speaker 1: Give me, give me count? Has It's fair for the 281 00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:36,440 Speaker 1: fan that's just kind of coming into this thing and 282 00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:37,960 Speaker 1: trying to figure out what's going on for the season. 283 00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:40,600 Speaker 1: Who's gonna be your starter? Who do you expect to play? 284 00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:42,840 Speaker 1: What roles? How do you expect this thing to playoff? Okay, 285 00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:45,880 Speaker 1: clearly Swim is gonna be your starter. Absolutely, Jeff Swam 286 00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:48,360 Speaker 1: is your starting tight end. He's gonna be He's gonna 287 00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:50,400 Speaker 1: be the tight end on the field when it's eleven personnel, 288 00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:52,200 Speaker 1: I would guess he's gonna be your first guy in 289 00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:55,480 Speaker 1: Blake Jarwin's your two. He'll be there when it's twelve. 290 00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:58,480 Speaker 1: Those are the only I mean, swam is the only 291 00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:00,880 Speaker 1: one that I remotely trust Block in all honesty, but 292 00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:05,280 Speaker 1: Jarwin would be after that. Dalton Schultz. I'm intrigued because 293 00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:08,880 Speaker 1: this front office doesn't cut fourth round draft picks. But 294 00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:11,640 Speaker 1: he's had his ups and downs. I don't I've been underwhelmed. 295 00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:13,440 Speaker 1: I don't know that he's a guy that they're going 296 00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:16,400 Speaker 1: to trust to do those types of jobs when when 297 00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:20,840 Speaker 1: it's on the line. But honestly, that's all I feel 298 00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:22,960 Speaker 1: comfortable saying. Right, I don't know what to tell you 299 00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:25,680 Speaker 1: about Rico honestly, like and I said last week, like 300 00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:27,680 Speaker 1: I've said all I can say about it, Like they're 301 00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:30,520 Speaker 1: gonna make a decision this weekend what they're gonna do 302 00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:32,840 Speaker 1: with him. We'll see if he's on the team. If 303 00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:36,680 Speaker 1: he is, I would bet that he has a maddeningly 304 00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:41,240 Speaker 1: inconsistent role on this team. Like I can't imagine he'll 305 00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:43,840 Speaker 1: be active that often if he's here, or if he 306 00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:45,760 Speaker 1: is active. I can't imagine that he's going to have 307 00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:48,760 Speaker 1: this huge role. I think Jarwin and Swim are the 308 00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:51,600 Speaker 1: two that they're gonna lean on to be their guys. Yeah, 309 00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:55,320 Speaker 1: I think you know, five receivers in four tight ends 310 00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:58,080 Speaker 1: is what it is looking like here. I just I 311 00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:01,400 Speaker 1: just well, I say that, is that what you want 312 00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:03,880 Speaker 1: or what you actually think they'll do? No, I actually 313 00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:07,000 Speaker 1: I changed my mind. I don't think they'll cut Deonte Thompson. 314 00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:09,000 Speaker 1: I don't I don't either. I don't think they will. 315 00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:12,400 Speaker 1: I think they'll cut Lance Lenore um by that. But 316 00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:15,320 Speaker 1: but ten, that's that's ten for that position right there, 317 00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:17,960 Speaker 1: or for those two do positions. And you know I've 318 00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:20,240 Speaker 1: said all along, I think jamaz Ola Waldi could help 319 00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:22,920 Speaker 1: them a little bit from an h back tight end 320 00:15:23,160 --> 00:15:25,160 Speaker 1: spot that maybe you didn't have to go along there. 321 00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:27,920 Speaker 1: But they don't want to cut fourth round picks. That 322 00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:30,200 Speaker 1: just that just shows that they made a mistake. They 323 00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:31,720 Speaker 1: don't want to do it. They're gonna have a hard 324 00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:34,800 Speaker 1: time cutting Tapper for some reason, so and they're gonna 325 00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:37,280 Speaker 1: have not that hard of a time cutting Chaz Green. 326 00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:39,480 Speaker 1: But they don't like to cut draft pick, especially if 327 00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:42,240 Speaker 1: the rookies um, I don't think Dalton Schultz had done 328 00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:44,480 Speaker 1: anything to make me say we got to keep him. 329 00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:48,800 Speaker 1: But you know, he'll develop just like Rico will. You 330 00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:51,800 Speaker 1: know what I find disappointing is how much we heard 331 00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:55,400 Speaker 1: Stephen Jones and the Jones and all of them talk 332 00:15:55,520 --> 00:16:01,640 Speaker 1: about Lake Jarwayne. They spoke about him so highly right before, 333 00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:05,240 Speaker 1: you know, we started the whole training camp and as 334 00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:08,240 Speaker 1: of right now, I mean I came in thinking or 335 00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:11,160 Speaker 1: expecting to see something that maybe we just haven't seen 336 00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:15,000 Speaker 1: before or like notice on Blake jarwayn as far as 337 00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:18,480 Speaker 1: practice and stuff, and I don't know, I don't know 338 00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:21,520 Speaker 1: where it was coming from because I haven't seen anything 339 00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:24,720 Speaker 1: to give me that confidence to, like, you know what, 340 00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:29,080 Speaker 1: I'm betting all my money on Jarwin. I apologize in advance. 341 00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:30,920 Speaker 1: I'm not trying to go down this rabbit hole, but 342 00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:33,640 Speaker 1: it reminds me a lot of safety. Like they love 343 00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:36,320 Speaker 1: Xavier Woods, they are optimistic and they hope that he's 344 00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:39,200 Speaker 1: gonna be this great player. There's no proof that I've 345 00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:41,440 Speaker 1: seen that that is true. Yet I hope like hell 346 00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:43,800 Speaker 1: it is, but there's no proof of that saying I mean, 347 00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:47,920 Speaker 1: she's absolutely right, Like they raved about Jarwin oftentimes was 348 00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:49,840 Speaker 1: like the first name out of somebody's mouth when you 349 00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:52,800 Speaker 1: asked him about tight end before Jeff Swain. And I'm 350 00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:55,400 Speaker 1: not dogging the guy. I don't think he's been bad, 351 00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:58,280 Speaker 1: but he I mean, I'm not telling people to draft 352 00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:01,920 Speaker 1: him in fantasy football, you know, like, oh, I'm serious, 353 00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:03,960 Speaker 1: Like he I haven't seen anything to suggest that he's 354 00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:08,040 Speaker 1: gonna have this just blow up year. He's fortunate because 355 00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:10,840 Speaker 1: Swain hasn't been that great. He's been solid, but it 356 00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:12,640 Speaker 1: hasn't been that great. And the other guys haven't really 357 00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:16,639 Speaker 1: done anything because if they had, Like he's he's a 358 00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:19,520 Speaker 1: guy you could cut. I mean what I mean, what 359 00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:21,800 Speaker 1: does Blake Jarwin you know, do now he'd be pretty 360 00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:24,160 Speaker 1: pissed because the Cowboys have cost him a Super Bowl 361 00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:26,840 Speaker 1: ring because the Eagles Eagles for trying to get him. 362 00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:28,359 Speaker 1: You don't know that he would have made it all 363 00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:29,720 Speaker 1: the way to the Super Bowl. I mean, he might 364 00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:31,320 Speaker 1: have gotten cut. No, but it was kind of later 365 00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:32,960 Speaker 1: in the year, right, and you have to it was 366 00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:35,159 Speaker 1: like November. You have to keep him for three weeks, 367 00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:36,879 Speaker 1: so he would have get your point, you know, he 368 00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:38,520 Speaker 1: probably would have made it. I think I think at 369 00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:40,399 Speaker 1: the end of the day. What's happening right now is 370 00:17:40,880 --> 00:17:43,840 Speaker 1: fans and everybody's gonna have to adapt to the idea 371 00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:46,840 Speaker 1: that the Cowboys are now. Like probably I would guess 372 00:17:46,840 --> 00:17:49,440 Speaker 1: twenty two twenty four teams in the NFL where they're 373 00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:52,120 Speaker 1: tight end is just a guy. He's not a guy 374 00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:54,440 Speaker 1: that's an intricate part of their offense. He's gonna catch 375 00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:57,359 Speaker 1: a couple passes who he'll be asked to block, who'll 376 00:17:57,400 --> 00:17:59,400 Speaker 1: have some different things that he'll be asked to do, 377 00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:01,800 Speaker 1: but they're not gonna have This is just not that 378 00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:04,000 Speaker 1: we've been used to sing that with Winton. You're just 379 00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:05,760 Speaker 1: not gonna see that none of these tight ends or 380 00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:08,040 Speaker 1: that caliber tight end where he's gonna be out there 381 00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:10,080 Speaker 1: every play and you're gonna he's gonna be an intricate 382 00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:11,880 Speaker 1: part of what you do offensively. I'll tell you this 383 00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:15,720 Speaker 1: is on Saturday or Sunday, a twenty eight year old 384 00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:18,760 Speaker 1: tight end who's not special but has been through some 385 00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:21,560 Speaker 1: wars is gonna be available. I would try to go 386 00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:24,320 Speaker 1: get that guy, like not any He's not gonna be special. 387 00:18:24,359 --> 00:18:25,879 Speaker 1: You're not gonna be excited when you hear that they 388 00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:28,080 Speaker 1: added him, but he has knows how to block and 389 00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:30,320 Speaker 1: do that type of stuff. I don't think they'll do 390 00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:32,600 Speaker 1: that because I think they like these guys, But that's 391 00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:34,480 Speaker 1: what I would do. Yeah, honestly, it would be a 392 00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:36,800 Speaker 1: guy like a like a James Hannah. Like if you 393 00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:38,520 Speaker 1: told me there was a guy like a James Hanna 394 00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:42,080 Speaker 1: out there, nothing special can block, and that's more important 395 00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:44,359 Speaker 1: than anybody can block. That's the kind of guy would 396 00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:46,000 Speaker 1: go get. He's not in the league anymore. But I 397 00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:48,720 Speaker 1: always think of Dante Rosario. They had him here, they 398 00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:51,040 Speaker 1: had five tight ends, and they traded him because they 399 00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:53,680 Speaker 1: had they were good. So all right, we're gonna go 400 00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:56,040 Speaker 1: ahead and take our first break. We'll come right back 401 00:18:56,040 --> 00:18:58,040 Speaker 1: when we get back.

I'm sure you guys would prefer to see Nick, 494 00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:34,720 Speaker 1: Amber and Dave, but we'll show you, guys lots of 495 00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:37,480 Speaker 1: things that are going on out here at all there. Yeah, right, 496 00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:38,959 Speaker 1: and we'll show you a lot of things that are 497 00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:40,639 Speaker 1: going on out here today. You can see these players 498 00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:44,399 Speaker 1: getting ready for their game this Thursdays right there. I 499 00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:48,119 Speaker 1: remember Mickey rhoda column and said, get to know number 500 00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:54,040 Speaker 1: forty three Joel Lanning. That's the last anyone's ever as 501 00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:59,640 Speaker 1: as Kent, Yeah, it was. Yeah, hasn't hasn't done much 502 00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:01,679 Speaker 1: at all. I mean, but you know what, he seems 503 00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:03,760 Speaker 1: like a guy that could be a practice squad type 504 00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:06,880 Speaker 1: guy because he can do I just haven't seen any 505 00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:11,639 Speaker 1: of them. You're not wrong, and it is one of 506 00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:15,320 Speaker 1: those guys. This is bizarre for this team, but all 507 00:24:15,320 --> 00:24:17,359 Speaker 1: of a sudden, linebackers a place where it's hard to 508 00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:19,639 Speaker 1: get time. It's true, I mean it used to be 509 00:24:19,680 --> 00:24:21,600 Speaker 1: like you would have three linebackers that had a chance 510 00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:23,960 Speaker 1: to make the team. Go ahead and find me one. 511 00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:25,719 Speaker 1: That ain't the way it works when you got as 512 00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:27,600 Speaker 1: much talent as this team does right now. I mean, 513 00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:30,040 Speaker 1: this defense has done such a such, you know, good 514 00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:32,439 Speaker 1: things in the preseason, and the fact that they have 515 00:24:32,560 --> 00:24:35,360 Speaker 1: not their first round pick a middle linebacker hasn't done 516 00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:37,680 Speaker 1: anything really other than a few snaps in the first game. 517 00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:40,360 Speaker 1: But you know, I doubt he was gonna play this week. 518 00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:42,840 Speaker 1: He's not Jason Barrett, so he did already say it. Yeah, 519 00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:46,560 Speaker 1: you were asking about first time pro bowler. Yes, that's 520 00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:50,040 Speaker 1: gonna be our next That's why we vote for. We 521 00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:53,120 Speaker 1: just saw Jalen Smith on screen. I thought you're gonna 522 00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:58,359 Speaker 1: say Joe Thomas, like, dang, what happened to Sean? Well, 523 00:24:58,600 --> 00:25:02,920 Speaker 1: Sean stopped there. I'm saying, no, that would be my vote, 524 00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:05,800 Speaker 1: Jalen Smith. I think who my vote was? Yeah, who 525 00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:08,119 Speaker 1: did I say? Derek? I don't recall, I don't I 526 00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:10,199 Speaker 1: wasn't looking at your answers. I was just looking at 527 00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:13,600 Speaker 1: the questions. I think I said Cheeto honestly, and actually 528 00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:15,720 Speaker 1: Cheeto was a popular answer. I do remember there were 529 00:25:15,760 --> 00:25:19,800 Speaker 1: several people that mentioned right, there were two or three 530 00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:23,120 Speaker 1: that that mentioned Cheeto. Um, and I think that would 531 00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:24,600 Speaker 1: have been a popular As a matter of fact, I 532 00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:27,800 Speaker 1: think Dave mentioned. Dave actually said two he said Cheeto, 533 00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:32,240 Speaker 1: and Jordan he said CO MVP. I guess co Co 534 00:25:32,760 --> 00:25:36,160 Speaker 1: Pro Bowl. That's not encouraging. No, Actually, you know something. 535 00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:37,800 Speaker 1: I take that back. That was for another question. That 536 00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:39,800 Speaker 1: was for question we're gonna get too later about camping VP, 537 00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:41,639 Speaker 1: And you said to both of them, but go ahead. 538 00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:46,160 Speaker 1: Chris Jones is a good pick there Byron Jones. Maybe, Um, 539 00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:48,760 Speaker 1: I think I think I said Chris Jones. I'm on 540 00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:50,560 Speaker 1: a I don't know. I'm on a crusade to get 541 00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:53,160 Speaker 1: that guy out of the Pro Bowl. Le Collins. While 542 00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:55,159 Speaker 1: Collins is one of the ones I was mentioned, I 543 00:25:55,240 --> 00:25:58,520 Speaker 1: have no I'm gonna do it again. I can't count 544 00:25:58,520 --> 00:25:59,840 Speaker 1: on them to be there for me. But if it 545 00:25:59,920 --> 00:26:04,119 Speaker 1: is is freaking Red Grandy Gregory, Mike God. I cannot 546 00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:06,439 Speaker 1: say enough about how blown away Way I am by 547 00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:10,320 Speaker 1: that he's been fantastic RG three. Yeah, I think I'm 548 00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:12,080 Speaker 1: with Amber, though I think Jalen Smith is going to 549 00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:14,120 Speaker 1: be the guy that I think ends up turning enough 550 00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:15,880 Speaker 1: heads to get to the Pro Bowl this year, because 551 00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:17,680 Speaker 1: I do think what we've seen from him, I don't 552 00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:19,520 Speaker 1: think it's a fluke. I think that guy's back to 553 00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:23,399 Speaker 1: being what everybody expected him to be before the injury. 554 00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:25,159 Speaker 1: And uh, and I think he'll play like that. This 555 00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:34,760 Speaker 1: great story. No, no, Jalen and Gregory one, right, I've 556 00:26:34,760 --> 00:26:36,720 Speaker 1: got one. I answered this last year and it didn't 557 00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:39,880 Speaker 1: work out. But but I, uh, what about Jeff Heath. 558 00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:44,200 Speaker 1: If Jeff Heath makes a few few more plays, then 559 00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:46,880 Speaker 1: he's done. I mean, he's usually three or four turnovers 560 00:26:46,880 --> 00:26:49,040 Speaker 1: a year. If he can get to five or six turnovers, 561 00:26:49,280 --> 00:26:51,840 Speaker 1: there's a chance there's It's not like a ton of safeties. Yeah, 562 00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:54,520 Speaker 1: I think Jeff Heath, I think the thing about safety, 563 00:26:54,640 --> 00:26:57,840 Speaker 1: and I think the thing about Jeff particularly. I think 564 00:26:57,840 --> 00:27:00,000 Speaker 1: the way he gets to the Pro Bowl is through him. 565 00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:03,600 Speaker 1: It's through the team having success and him making some 566 00:27:03,680 --> 00:27:05,440 Speaker 1: places as a part of that. So you remember when 567 00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:07,480 Speaker 1: what was that? I don't you'll know the year you 568 00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:09,200 Speaker 1: know what I'm talking about Ken Hamlin, When Ken Hamlon 569 00:27:09,280 --> 00:27:11,560 Speaker 1: made the Pro Bowl. I think of it in a 570 00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:13,440 Speaker 1: similar way. Yeah, I think he made the Pro Bowl 571 00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:16,359 Speaker 1: because their team is good. That year, the defense played 572 00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:18,639 Speaker 1: pretty well and he was pretty good. He made a 573 00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:20,600 Speaker 1: couple of plays for him, and so he got into 574 00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:22,280 Speaker 1: the Pro Bowl. I think it's the exact same way. 575 00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:24,359 Speaker 1: If the team is good, I think Jeff will have 576 00:27:24,359 --> 00:27:26,679 Speaker 1: a chance. If the team is not good, then I 577 00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:28,720 Speaker 1: don't think he has a shotter. And if your interceptions 578 00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:30,760 Speaker 1: go on Sunday night in football and Monday night all 579 00:27:30,800 --> 00:27:33,280 Speaker 1: the that's even better, right, don't do those noon games. 580 00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:35,399 Speaker 1: I will never shut up if Jeff Heath makes a 581 00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:38,440 Speaker 1: Pro Bow. I don't get you. Just get a goat 582 00:27:38,480 --> 00:27:40,720 Speaker 1: tattooed to your forehead? Thank you? Ever going to shut out? On? 583 00:27:41,119 --> 00:27:43,680 Speaker 1: Would you? Would your forehead? Now? Come on? Maybe it's 584 00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:46,639 Speaker 1: maybe my back or something, Yeah, like the small of 585 00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:51,520 Speaker 1: your back now, I was thinking, like my shoulder blade? Yeah, 586 00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:58,240 Speaker 1: what Jesus Pro Bowl for the Cowboys. Really we're gonna 587 00:27:58,280 --> 00:28:00,560 Speaker 1: go there. I bet you can actually go through a 588 00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:03,879 Speaker 1: natire show without mentioning him. Number fourteen. Here was the 589 00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:06,800 Speaker 1: question most impactful new coach. I really don't know that 590 00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:09,080 Speaker 1: there's much of a discussion, but let's talk about Christoph 591 00:28:09,119 --> 00:28:12,879 Speaker 1: shad uh Sanjay Lyle, and Paul Alexander because I do 592 00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:15,840 Speaker 1: think you can make the argument this wide receiver group 593 00:28:16,040 --> 00:28:20,160 Speaker 1: has been better technically than they've been in the past. Yeah, 594 00:28:20,359 --> 00:28:22,359 Speaker 1: I mean, Tavon Austin said that, you know, this is 595 00:28:22,359 --> 00:28:24,199 Speaker 1: the best camp he's ever had. He feels more like 596 00:28:24,200 --> 00:28:26,760 Speaker 1: a wide receiver than ever before because of Sanjay Lyle 597 00:28:26,880 --> 00:28:29,160 Speaker 1: Cole Beasley has made a few comments like that too, 598 00:28:29,160 --> 00:28:32,320 Speaker 1: like it's back to basics and stuff. So really, you know, 599 00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:35,520 Speaker 1: they're really taking shots to Derek Dooley. But um, either way, 600 00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:37,800 Speaker 1: and maybe shots were due maybe I don't know, maybe, 601 00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:40,640 Speaker 1: but I mean, they're in that room. I think I 602 00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:44,200 Speaker 1: think it's not a slam dunk for Christopher Shard because 603 00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:46,920 Speaker 1: these other guys, Paul Alexander's having to do some work now, 604 00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:50,360 Speaker 1: He's having to you know, get Connor Williams ready, to 605 00:28:50,360 --> 00:28:52,840 Speaker 1: get Joe Looney ready, So it's not as easy for 606 00:28:52,920 --> 00:28:54,920 Speaker 1: him either. So I mean, the guy that's really have 607 00:28:55,040 --> 00:28:56,640 Speaker 1: to do the most work is Doug nust Meyer, the 608 00:28:56,680 --> 00:29:01,560 Speaker 1: tight end coach. At what is he has? What's been 609 00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:03,680 Speaker 1: the result? I mean, I think part of this question 610 00:29:03,760 --> 00:29:06,200 Speaker 1: has to be our guys playing above what you thought 611 00:29:06,200 --> 00:29:08,040 Speaker 1: they were. Because Chris Richard, you can tell you whatever 612 00:29:08,040 --> 00:29:09,960 Speaker 1: you want to say about him getting a lot of 613 00:29:09,960 --> 00:29:12,960 Speaker 1: the press. The fact is bron Jones is playing out 614 00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:15,040 Speaker 1: of his mind, right, And that was a lot about 615 00:29:15,120 --> 00:29:17,160 Speaker 1: him saying this guy is a better corner than he 616 00:29:17,160 --> 00:29:20,040 Speaker 1: will be a safety, right, So so you have to 617 00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:21,560 Speaker 1: look at the results. I don't know that the tight 618 00:29:21,680 --> 00:29:23,320 Speaker 1: Ends have done enough in training camp for me to 619 00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:25,600 Speaker 1: really point him out as as a goal coaching job. 620 00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:28,640 Speaker 1: What was the wording of the question, I'm sorry, best, 621 00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:33,680 Speaker 1: I think it was best additional the best new coach, Yeah, 622 00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:37,480 Speaker 1: assistant coach, Well, no one else. We're not begging anybody 623 00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:39,040 Speaker 1: else to be the next head coach for the team. 624 00:29:39,880 --> 00:29:42,520 Speaker 1: You made definitely week one of training yet who you're 625 00:29:42,560 --> 00:29:44,760 Speaker 1: preken to us? Hey, go look at the comments on 626 00:29:44,800 --> 00:29:47,840 Speaker 1: that video of him laying into the defense on Sunday 627 00:29:47,920 --> 00:29:50,800 Speaker 1: night that it was pretty interesting. I mean it was something. 628 00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:54,480 Speaker 1: It wasn't not interesting. All right. Let's be question number thirteen, 629 00:29:54,600 --> 00:29:58,200 Speaker 1: most challenging quarterback opponent, and this is one that goes 630 00:29:58,200 --> 00:30:00,360 Speaker 1: a little bigger than I normally have been talking. Yeah, 631 00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:03,080 Speaker 1: Zach Martin is going through some practice. I'm sorry, he's 632 00:30:03,120 --> 00:30:06,040 Speaker 1: not doing a ton. This isn't a padded practice, but 633 00:30:06,040 --> 00:30:10,000 Speaker 1: it's still encouraging though to see him actually doing You're 634 00:30:10,040 --> 00:30:12,160 Speaker 1: still more than a week away from the first game. 635 00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:14,480 Speaker 1: I did not expect that he would even be running 636 00:30:14,480 --> 00:30:16,360 Speaker 1: around doing that kind of stuff, So hard about it. 637 00:30:16,520 --> 00:30:21,240 Speaker 1: Go ahead, Um, Actually, there's Travis out there too. Travis 638 00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:23,840 Speaker 1: is he's not He didn't have on a helmet, but 639 00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:27,600 Speaker 1: he was out there. Yeah, he's not doing football stuff. Yeah, 640 00:30:27,600 --> 00:30:30,720 Speaker 1: I mean, he might be working on snapping with Zach, 641 00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:35,280 Speaker 1: but he's no. Just to not to give anybody the 642 00:30:35,280 --> 00:30:37,880 Speaker 1: idea that he's like doing for no, not at all. Yeah. Okay, 643 00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:40,160 Speaker 1: so let's move on question number What was that question 644 00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:43,240 Speaker 1: number thirteen most challenging quarterback opponent? Some of the names 645 00:30:43,240 --> 00:30:46,640 Speaker 1: that got thrown out Drew Brees, Matt Ryan, Russell, Wilson, 646 00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:50,680 Speaker 1: Carson Wentz and you those strike you as I mean, 647 00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:52,880 Speaker 1: there's an obvious answer when you talk about the history 648 00:30:52,880 --> 00:30:55,400 Speaker 1: of the NFL and and the last several years the 649 00:30:55,480 --> 00:30:57,880 Speaker 1: top quarterbacks in the league. Obviously, Breese in a different 650 00:30:57,880 --> 00:31:01,880 Speaker 1: category than these other guys, But year statistically, Breeze was 651 00:31:01,920 --> 00:31:04,280 Speaker 1: not the quarterback that he'd been in the past, mainly 652 00:31:04,280 --> 00:31:06,520 Speaker 1: because they found a running game, a really really good 653 00:31:06,640 --> 00:31:10,800 Speaker 1: running game. But all that being said, what quarterback most 654 00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:13,520 Speaker 1: concerned yet the Cowboys will face this season. It's an 655 00:31:13,520 --> 00:31:17,719 Speaker 1: interesting question because like quarterback or team. Because if I 656 00:31:17,760 --> 00:31:19,600 Speaker 1: had to pick, if I had to pick right now, 657 00:31:19,640 --> 00:31:21,920 Speaker 1: and I hate saying this as a New Orleanian, if 658 00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:23,640 Speaker 1: I had to make a Super Bowl pick, I think 659 00:31:23,640 --> 00:31:25,600 Speaker 1: the Atlanta Falcons are going back to the Super Bowl. 660 00:31:25,680 --> 00:31:28,400 Speaker 1: I just think they're nasty. They're talented everywhere, and Matt 661 00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:32,760 Speaker 1: Ryan's obviously an MVP caliber quarterback. But as far as 662 00:31:32,760 --> 00:31:35,880 Speaker 1: like a game like the one game the Cowboys got 663 00:31:35,880 --> 00:31:38,280 Speaker 1: to play him, nobody scares me more than Russell Wilson, 664 00:31:38,280 --> 00:31:40,560 Speaker 1: to be honest with you, Like, and I know the 665 00:31:40,600 --> 00:31:43,840 Speaker 1: Seahawks don't have any talent, like they're so their roster 666 00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:45,640 Speaker 1: is so much worse than it was when they were 667 00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:48,320 Speaker 1: in those Super Bowls. But he's just a beast, and 668 00:31:48,360 --> 00:31:50,800 Speaker 1: he's that type of quarterback that he can make life 669 00:31:50,840 --> 00:31:53,200 Speaker 1: miserable for you, and I think he probably will make 670 00:31:53,240 --> 00:31:56,480 Speaker 1: life for a miserable. I was gonna say, Russell any 671 00:31:56,480 --> 00:31:58,800 Speaker 1: in my mind as I'm thinking of guys, I'm like, oh, okay, 672 00:31:58,840 --> 00:32:04,480 Speaker 1: sure they're not gonna I thought you. I thought you 673 00:32:04,520 --> 00:32:06,760 Speaker 1: did a good job of saying that the team that 674 00:32:06,840 --> 00:32:08,680 Speaker 1: scares you the most out of that is Atlanta. The 675 00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:11,680 Speaker 1: quarterback who's the best of that group is Drew brees 676 00:32:11,920 --> 00:32:14,920 Speaker 1: Um you know historically. And then the guy the one 677 00:32:15,040 --> 00:32:18,440 Speaker 1: quarterback who could just beat you by himself because he 678 00:32:18,440 --> 00:32:20,440 Speaker 1: doesn't have a lot of talent, as Russell Wilson. So 679 00:32:20,800 --> 00:32:23,400 Speaker 1: we're probably missing some guys in there. But actually the 680 00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:25,200 Speaker 1: one I would throw out would be Carson Wentz. And 681 00:32:25,240 --> 00:32:27,920 Speaker 1: the reason why is because people forget how he was 682 00:32:27,960 --> 00:32:30,400 Speaker 1: playing before he got hurt. That dude was doing a 683 00:32:30,440 --> 00:32:32,760 Speaker 1: lot of different things. He was moving around, he was 684 00:32:32,880 --> 00:32:35,440 Speaker 1: running a little bit, he was throwing some lasers. I 685 00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:37,840 Speaker 1: mean like he was really playing at a high level. 686 00:32:37,920 --> 00:32:40,560 Speaker 1: If he comes back healthy and resumes where he was, 687 00:32:41,040 --> 00:32:43,560 Speaker 1: I think he becomes the guy that you really look at, say, 688 00:32:43,560 --> 00:32:45,720 Speaker 1: can do some real damns toe there. I mean, there's 689 00:32:45,760 --> 00:32:48,640 Speaker 1: no doubt. And I'm sorry Cowboys fans, but I would 690 00:32:48,680 --> 00:32:51,000 Speaker 1: have voted for him for MVP if he hadn't gotten hurt. 691 00:32:51,440 --> 00:32:55,080 Speaker 1: He had to vote. He's well that too, but he's 692 00:32:55,120 --> 00:32:57,520 Speaker 1: got the I mean, he's got some Russell Wilson to 693 00:32:57,640 --> 00:33:00,080 Speaker 1: him too, Like he's he's not a statue. That's what 694 00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:01,960 Speaker 1: I was gonna say is if this Dallas pass rush 695 00:33:02,120 --> 00:33:04,920 Speaker 1: is as good as it looks here, that's great against 696 00:33:04,920 --> 00:33:07,080 Speaker 1: guys like Drew Brees and Matt Ryan. You can fight 697 00:33:07,120 --> 00:33:09,160 Speaker 1: those type of quarterbacks with a pass rush like that. 698 00:33:09,240 --> 00:33:12,200 Speaker 1: It's the mobile guys like Russell Wilson and to a degree, 699 00:33:12,280 --> 00:33:14,840 Speaker 1: Carson Wentz. Yeah, the thing with Winz is it's such 700 00:33:14,840 --> 00:33:17,360 Speaker 1: a big caveat he's not cleared for contact right now. 701 00:33:17,520 --> 00:33:19,160 Speaker 1: And also the Cowboys aren't going to play him for 702 00:33:19,160 --> 00:33:21,800 Speaker 1: the first time until November, so which by then he's 703 00:33:21,800 --> 00:33:24,360 Speaker 1: had a chance to come back get healthy being back 704 00:33:24,400 --> 00:33:26,520 Speaker 1: on them absolutely, and I would imagine he will be 705 00:33:26,960 --> 00:33:29,120 Speaker 1: and that'll be a hell of a challenge. But this 706 00:33:29,160 --> 00:33:32,400 Speaker 1: team plays Russell Wilson in a month, So watch out 707 00:33:32,440 --> 00:33:35,520 Speaker 1: for Andrew Luck at the end of the year two. Yeah, yeah, 708 00:33:35,760 --> 00:33:37,840 Speaker 1: I do. I think that he's I think he could 709 00:33:37,880 --> 00:33:40,520 Speaker 1: be comeback player of the Year. Yeah, I really do. Good. 710 00:33:40,560 --> 00:33:42,800 Speaker 1: So you know, he's not a guy that's really in 711 00:33:42,880 --> 00:33:45,040 Speaker 1: the radar. But by the time, you know, Cowboys don't 712 00:33:45,080 --> 00:33:47,480 Speaker 1: play him week two, they play him like week sixteen 713 00:33:47,600 --> 00:33:50,600 Speaker 1: or fifteen or something like that, he'll be He'll be 714 00:33:50,640 --> 00:33:53,200 Speaker 1: fine by then, and he's you know when we've seen 715 00:33:53,240 --> 00:33:55,000 Speaker 1: when he's healthy and ready to go, if he's got 716 00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:56,880 Speaker 1: guys around him. You know what, I'm kind of surprised 717 00:33:56,960 --> 00:34:00,280 Speaker 1: nobody throughout was Deshaun Watson because again, you look at 718 00:34:00,360 --> 00:34:03,400 Speaker 1: him before he got hurt, that offense was moving the 719 00:34:03,400 --> 00:34:05,800 Speaker 1: ball and they were putting up some big points and 720 00:34:05,920 --> 00:34:08,800 Speaker 1: he was responsible for it. If he comes back healthy, 721 00:34:09,160 --> 00:34:11,399 Speaker 1: that's another guy that I think is really really gonna 722 00:34:11,400 --> 00:34:13,040 Speaker 1: be a tough out of the Cowboys. That game is 723 00:34:13,080 --> 00:34:15,680 Speaker 1: gonna be amazing. Yeah, he will be. I think. I 724 00:34:15,719 --> 00:34:18,600 Speaker 1: think Sunday night, yeah, you gotta win that game. I 725 00:34:18,640 --> 00:34:22,680 Speaker 1: think just for the Texas pride thing, He's just ya, 726 00:34:23,120 --> 00:34:25,799 Speaker 1: It's it's gonna be crazy. It's gonna be began as 727 00:34:25,840 --> 00:34:29,279 Speaker 1: in Houston that weekend. You gotta win that game, I think. 728 00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:32,600 Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't know how. I mean, they're 729 00:34:32,600 --> 00:34:35,160 Speaker 1: a good team. They're good, but you know, this is 730 00:34:35,200 --> 00:34:37,640 Speaker 1: a good football team too. I'm not saying they're not. 731 00:34:37,680 --> 00:34:39,480 Speaker 1: I'm just saying Houston is a really good team. I'm 732 00:34:39,480 --> 00:34:42,960 Speaker 1: glad that we're having this conversation because I don't I 733 00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:48,080 Speaker 1: don't pay particularly close attention to the Texans, but I 734 00:34:48,120 --> 00:34:51,120 Speaker 1: don't feel like if Deshaun Watson is getting an iota 735 00:34:51,320 --> 00:34:54,640 Speaker 1: of the scrutiny that Dak got following an amazing rookie year, 736 00:34:54,719 --> 00:34:57,480 Speaker 1: and Watson played six games like I would like to 737 00:34:57,480 --> 00:34:59,880 Speaker 1: see a little more, especially coming off a big time end. 738 00:35:00,800 --> 00:35:02,200 Speaker 1: I think the world of him. I think he's gonna 739 00:35:02,200 --> 00:35:04,200 Speaker 1: be a great quarterback. But I'm not just ready to 740 00:35:04,280 --> 00:35:07,120 Speaker 1: lump him in there with MVP cow He's had nothing 741 00:35:07,160 --> 00:35:10,680 Speaker 1: to scrutinize yet. I mean, he was, he was like 742 00:35:10,719 --> 00:35:13,759 Speaker 1: the most electrifying rookie quarterback in recent memory, right, but 743 00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:16,600 Speaker 1: the Dak was too. And then but even I mean, 744 00:35:17,560 --> 00:35:19,359 Speaker 1: just wait for them to go nine. If they hit 745 00:35:19,440 --> 00:35:21,640 Speaker 1: nine wins, then the Shaun will give it. He just 746 00:35:21,680 --> 00:35:24,719 Speaker 1: hasn't had anything happen yet. I think there and I know, 747 00:35:24,800 --> 00:35:26,799 Speaker 1: I mean, Dak took the Cowboys within a game in 748 00:35:26,840 --> 00:35:28,440 Speaker 1: the NFC title Game. I get it, it was a 749 00:35:28,440 --> 00:35:32,319 Speaker 1: bigger stage. But why, I mean, I feel like people 750 00:35:32,320 --> 00:35:34,359 Speaker 1: are just kind of assuming Watson's gonna pick up where 751 00:35:34,360 --> 00:35:36,200 Speaker 1: he left. I think part of the reason why the 752 00:35:36,280 --> 00:35:37,920 Speaker 1: maybe people I think part of the reason for the 753 00:35:37,960 --> 00:35:40,680 Speaker 1: difference though, is because I think there were a lot 754 00:35:40,719 --> 00:35:44,400 Speaker 1: of people that looked at that looked at Dak's rookie 755 00:35:44,440 --> 00:35:46,960 Speaker 1: year and said a lot of his success was due 756 00:35:46,960 --> 00:35:50,000 Speaker 1: to Zeke, not necessarily due to him. He did some things, 757 00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:52,120 Speaker 1: but I don't think people gave him his due, and 758 00:35:52,160 --> 00:35:53,360 Speaker 1: so I think there are a lot of people that 759 00:35:53,360 --> 00:35:55,719 Speaker 1: were naysayers going into a second year. I don't know 760 00:35:55,719 --> 00:35:58,719 Speaker 1: that the same thing happened in Houston because forever they 761 00:35:58,719 --> 00:36:00,400 Speaker 1: had had an offense that was just is kind of 762 00:36:00,400 --> 00:36:02,719 Speaker 1: fledgling along, and all of a sudden, Sean comes in 763 00:36:02,800 --> 00:36:05,239 Speaker 1: and it's moving like it's actually has life, And so 764 00:36:05,280 --> 00:36:08,240 Speaker 1: I think that was probably the difference. You're right after 765 00:36:08,280 --> 00:36:11,239 Speaker 1: the first years, when defenses have an opportunity to see 766 00:36:11,280 --> 00:36:12,560 Speaker 1: what you like to do, they try to take away 767 00:36:12,560 --> 00:36:14,200 Speaker 1: those things. See if you can adjust to it, all 768 00:36:14,239 --> 00:36:16,120 Speaker 1: those things he'll have to deal with. If he is 769 00:36:16,160 --> 00:36:19,040 Speaker 1: what we think he is, Deshaun Watson, then that my 770 00:36:19,160 --> 00:36:22,520 Speaker 1: super Bowl is like Houston verse Atlanta on it. I mean, 771 00:36:22,600 --> 00:36:25,000 Speaker 1: they if he's as good as people think he might be, 772 00:36:25,160 --> 00:36:27,200 Speaker 1: then they're this guy's the limit for them. If they 773 00:36:27,200 --> 00:36:30,480 Speaker 1: can keep their defensive guy. They got the talent everywhere. Yeah, right, 774 00:36:30,520 --> 00:36:32,920 Speaker 1: They've got some talent on that team. If they can 775 00:36:32,960 --> 00:36:35,160 Speaker 1: stay healthy, all right, let's move on. Let's go to 776 00:36:35,480 --> 00:36:38,960 Speaker 1: a question number twelve. Can Xavier Woods hold on to 777 00:36:39,080 --> 00:36:42,960 Speaker 1: the free safety starting spot? I mean the answers yes, 778 00:36:43,040 --> 00:36:46,080 Speaker 1: but do any of us feel good about that? Serious? 779 00:36:46,120 --> 00:36:49,279 Speaker 1: And I feel terrible because, like, I like Xavierwoods as 780 00:36:49,320 --> 00:36:52,600 Speaker 1: a guy. He's definitely not a bad player. But how 781 00:36:52,640 --> 00:36:55,200 Speaker 1: can you sit here on August twenty eighth and feel 782 00:36:55,239 --> 00:36:58,440 Speaker 1: good about the safety spot. Jerry Jones said this morning 783 00:36:58,480 --> 00:36:59,920 Speaker 1: that he thinks he'll be back for a week two, 784 00:37:00,400 --> 00:37:02,960 Speaker 1: but again, he is yet to start a game and 785 00:37:03,239 --> 00:37:05,239 Speaker 1: in the regular season in the NFL at safety. Like, 786 00:37:05,280 --> 00:37:08,799 Speaker 1: it's not like this established veteran it's coming back. It's like, oh, 787 00:37:08,800 --> 00:37:10,799 Speaker 1: we'll get Xavier Woods back and we'll get to see 788 00:37:10,800 --> 00:37:12,759 Speaker 1: if he's a good player. Like that's what we're saying 789 00:37:12,880 --> 00:37:15,680 Speaker 1: right now. So yeah, I don't like it. Can we 790 00:37:15,760 --> 00:37:17,640 Speaker 1: take a break for a second to look at the um? 791 00:37:18,440 --> 00:37:21,760 Speaker 1: What what they're doing here on the field? H Randy 792 00:37:21,760 --> 00:37:25,480 Speaker 1: Gregory started the game right on Sunday night, I believe so, 793 00:37:26,239 --> 00:37:29,160 Speaker 1: and opposite A D. Law And then here we're seeing 794 00:37:29,200 --> 00:37:33,440 Speaker 1: the first team offense and defense here. Um it's going 795 00:37:33,480 --> 00:37:36,319 Speaker 1: to pan over. Their taco is actually on the right end. 796 00:37:36,360 --> 00:37:39,400 Speaker 1: Spot and Gregory like was standing in the huddle like 797 00:37:39,440 --> 00:37:41,480 Speaker 1: he was about to do something. But I don't know 798 00:37:41,480 --> 00:37:43,440 Speaker 1: if that that means anything or what they're working on 799 00:37:43,520 --> 00:37:46,440 Speaker 1: here yet, but um, you know he had been doing stuff. 800 00:37:46,440 --> 00:37:50,000 Speaker 1: If there's Zach Martin practicing right here, like he's definitely practicing. Yeah, 801 00:37:50,160 --> 00:37:52,799 Speaker 1: so this is this is a great Yeah, this is 802 00:37:52,800 --> 00:37:55,480 Speaker 1: a return to practice for for Zach Martin. I wouldn't 803 00:37:55,480 --> 00:37:59,359 Speaker 1: expect him to be in there. Yeah, right, is impressive. Um, 804 00:37:59,440 --> 00:38:01,600 Speaker 1: let's move on to the next question. Can the offensive 805 00:38:01,640 --> 00:38:05,680 Speaker 1: line return to form? Talking speaking about Zach Martin? Uh, 806 00:38:05,719 --> 00:38:07,759 Speaker 1: you last year they had some really issues and really 807 00:38:07,760 --> 00:38:10,359 Speaker 1: their issues came from depth. We thought those had been 808 00:38:10,400 --> 00:38:14,080 Speaker 1: out answered with the addition of Cameron Fleming Marcus Martin, 809 00:38:14,680 --> 00:38:18,040 Speaker 1: and I think right now there's probably questions. Obviously Marcus 810 00:38:18,040 --> 00:38:21,080 Speaker 1: Martin's now on IR, but I don't know if Cam 811 00:38:21,080 --> 00:38:24,759 Speaker 1: Fleming still feels like the get that she thought he was. 812 00:38:24,840 --> 00:38:26,879 Speaker 1: Maybe when the Cowboys signed him, what do you guys 813 00:38:26,920 --> 00:38:29,640 Speaker 1: started the thoughts about the depth of the offensive line. 814 00:38:29,680 --> 00:38:32,719 Speaker 1: Wanted him to be better than Chads Greene, and he 815 00:38:32,800 --> 00:38:35,239 Speaker 1: has been, so you know that is a step up. 816 00:38:36,000 --> 00:38:38,400 Speaker 1: But when we answer that question and we had no idea. 817 00:38:38,400 --> 00:38:42,880 Speaker 1: I don't think anyone had ever heard of g BS 818 00:38:43,040 --> 00:38:46,839 Speaker 1: or whatever. Yeah, yeah, good point. I don't you know. 819 00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:50,280 Speaker 1: That's changes everything. It does. It does change their things. 820 00:38:50,360 --> 00:38:52,480 Speaker 1: As for the other things, I mean, Zach Martin was 821 00:38:52,520 --> 00:38:55,440 Speaker 1: just scare. They look like they've overcome that. Tyrant Smith, 822 00:38:55,840 --> 00:38:59,239 Speaker 1: he's you know, he's dealing with a few things. I 823 00:38:59,280 --> 00:39:01,160 Speaker 1: still think this is or I still think he's gonna 824 00:39:01,160 --> 00:39:05,960 Speaker 1: be okay uh to play. And Lael Layla might be 825 00:39:05,960 --> 00:39:08,359 Speaker 1: the toughest player on the football team. I'm serious, Like, 826 00:39:08,400 --> 00:39:11,200 Speaker 1: he gets banged up all the time, he never misses anything. 827 00:39:11,680 --> 00:39:15,240 Speaker 1: He's a tough son of a gun. Um, I definitely don't. 828 00:39:15,480 --> 00:39:18,080 Speaker 1: I don't feel like the Cowboys just have like these 829 00:39:18,160 --> 00:39:21,919 Speaker 1: three studley tackles. Like I haven't seen anything from Cam 830 00:39:21,960 --> 00:39:26,239 Speaker 1: Fleming that makes me just completely forget about Atlanta last year. 831 00:39:26,280 --> 00:39:28,520 Speaker 1: But he has been better than Chaz Green. So that's 832 00:39:28,520 --> 00:39:33,960 Speaker 1: a step in the right direction. And you're right, hopefully. 833 00:39:34,040 --> 00:39:36,120 Speaker 1: I this is ironic because I say this as Cam 834 00:39:36,160 --> 00:39:38,759 Speaker 1: Fleming is currently your first team left tackle. Tyrn's not 835 00:39:38,800 --> 00:39:42,080 Speaker 1: practicing it looks like um, but hopefully he won't have 836 00:39:42,160 --> 00:39:44,759 Speaker 1: to play a lot. I don't know that that is 837 00:39:45,360 --> 00:39:50,560 Speaker 1: a realistic hope, but hopefully they're rotating the second team 838 00:39:50,600 --> 00:39:55,160 Speaker 1: defensive end or defensive line. You see Brian Price here 839 00:39:55,200 --> 00:39:58,239 Speaker 1: and Randy Gregory's on the right end spot. So all right, 840 00:39:58,360 --> 00:40:00,439 Speaker 1: we're gonna take a final break. We're gonna come back. 841 00:40:00,520 --> 00:40:02,279 Speaker 1: We'll give you guys more sights and sounds from out 842 00:40:02,280 --> 00:40:05,280 Speaker 1: here at Fourtcenter Cowboys having their final training camp practice. 843 00:40:05,400 --> 00:40:07,839 Speaker 1: We'll also get to our top ten questions.

Don't know that we have a lot 894 00:42:39,160 --> 00:42:41,600 Speaker 1: of great answers all the way around, but we're trying 895 00:42:41,600 --> 00:42:43,839 Speaker 1: to give you as much inside we as we've been 896 00:42:43,880 --> 00:42:46,040 Speaker 1: able to gather from training camp.

That's awesome. 901 00:42:55,080 --> 00:42:56,960 Speaker 1: All right, let's get back into our questions. We can 902 00:42:56,960 --> 00:42:58,640 Speaker 1: see if we could run through these top ten. The 903 00:42:59,040 --> 00:43:03,880 Speaker 1: tenth question is most impactful rookie, Layton Vanderesh, Connor Williams, 904 00:43:03,880 --> 00:43:05,719 Speaker 1: Michael Gallup. I think those are really the only three 905 00:43:05,719 --> 00:43:07,640 Speaker 1: that are worth mentioning in this category. What do you 906 00:43:07,680 --> 00:43:10,280 Speaker 1: guys say? I think Dorian's arm is going to contribute 907 00:43:10,280 --> 00:43:12,680 Speaker 1: a little bit more than Vanderesh okay at this point 908 00:43:12,680 --> 00:43:14,799 Speaker 1: and look more than those other two. But but to 909 00:43:14,800 --> 00:43:21,480 Speaker 1: answer the question, I will say Connor Williams. I've said 910 00:43:21,520 --> 00:43:24,120 Speaker 1: Connor Williams all through the preseason. I'm not changing that 911 00:43:24,160 --> 00:43:27,120 Speaker 1: answer now, but I do I would caution people against 912 00:43:27,160 --> 00:43:29,759 Speaker 1: like and I get it. I understand why people would 913 00:43:29,760 --> 00:43:32,520 Speaker 1: write Laton Vanderesh off because rookies need playing time and 914 00:43:32,560 --> 00:43:35,239 Speaker 1: he's missed a lot of it. But Malie Collins didn't 915 00:43:35,239 --> 00:43:37,560 Speaker 1: get a ton of playing time and was a productive rookie. 916 00:43:37,640 --> 00:43:40,960 Speaker 1: And honestly, none of the Cowboys rookie defensive backs had 917 00:43:41,040 --> 00:43:43,640 Speaker 1: much of a training camp last year, and they all 918 00:43:43,680 --> 00:43:45,960 Speaker 1: went on to play pretty significant roles. I mean, it 919 00:43:46,080 --> 00:43:49,040 Speaker 1: is a it is a seventeen week season. The fact 920 00:43:49,080 --> 00:43:51,120 Speaker 1: that Laton vander Esh can't play right now doesn't mean 921 00:43:51,160 --> 00:43:53,000 Speaker 1: he's going to be on the shelf the entire year. 922 00:43:53,200 --> 00:43:54,759 Speaker 1: Are you at all concerned? Know that he was a 923 00:43:54,800 --> 00:43:57,800 Speaker 1: guy who had injury problems in college and now in 924 00:43:57,920 --> 00:44:00,520 Speaker 1: his first training camp piece he spends a lot of time. 925 00:44:00,760 --> 00:44:03,040 Speaker 1: That was the rumor with that was it was like 926 00:44:03,080 --> 00:44:05,440 Speaker 1: his spine and this is growing. I mean, no, I'm 927 00:44:05,480 --> 00:44:07,680 Speaker 1: not ball players get hurt. Yeah, I understand that. I'm 928 00:44:07,719 --> 00:44:10,040 Speaker 1: just saying though, it's it's a very similar thing in 929 00:44:10,080 --> 00:44:12,040 Speaker 1: my mind to what you look at a guy like 930 00:44:12,040 --> 00:44:14,200 Speaker 1: Sean Lee there. I think there's a certain thing certain 931 00:44:14,239 --> 00:44:17,440 Speaker 1: players that for whatever reason, they just their bodies can't 932 00:44:17,520 --> 00:44:20,640 Speaker 1: take the punishment, the regular punishment. I got to see 933 00:44:20,680 --> 00:44:23,040 Speaker 1: a lot more before I want to label him that way, 934 00:44:23,160 --> 00:44:25,880 Speaker 1: because I mean, honestly, I think again, I know rookies 935 00:44:25,960 --> 00:44:28,359 Speaker 1: need to play, I get it, but you're talking about 936 00:44:28,360 --> 00:44:31,719 Speaker 1: an insanely talented player like the Cowboys. As much as 937 00:44:31,719 --> 00:44:33,080 Speaker 1: they would like for him to be out there, they 938 00:44:33,120 --> 00:44:35,520 Speaker 1: want him to be available in September and October, and 939 00:44:35,560 --> 00:44:37,960 Speaker 1: that's part of it, Like they're being careful with when 940 00:44:37,960 --> 00:44:39,960 Speaker 1: they bring him back. I think, based on what you 941 00:44:40,000 --> 00:44:46,240 Speaker 1: know now, would you have traded up to get Darlin James, Yeah, 942 00:44:45,560 --> 00:44:47,920 Speaker 1: I mean I wanted to do that. I wanted to 943 00:44:47,920 --> 00:44:50,960 Speaker 1: do that on a day right, Yeah, but I would, 944 00:44:51,080 --> 00:44:54,279 Speaker 1: But you don't. You don't have Michael Callop because you 945 00:44:54,280 --> 00:44:57,200 Speaker 1: have to go third to do it, and that that's 946 00:44:57,200 --> 00:44:59,759 Speaker 1: as complicated because I really like Michael Gallop so that 947 00:45:00,120 --> 00:45:03,560 Speaker 1: I'm really impressed from with what I'm seeing from him 948 00:45:03,640 --> 00:45:07,520 Speaker 1: so far. I expected him. I expected him to be good, 949 00:45:07,680 --> 00:45:11,480 Speaker 1: but I guess not to be as far in advance. 950 00:45:11,600 --> 00:45:14,719 Speaker 1: You know, you when brookies come in usually takes them 951 00:45:14,719 --> 00:45:19,040 Speaker 1: a little bit to get a custom or used to things. 952 00:45:19,080 --> 00:45:21,640 Speaker 1: And he, to me, he has figured it out. He 953 00:45:22,280 --> 00:45:24,600 Speaker 1: knows how to bounce back. When he makes a mistake, 954 00:45:24,640 --> 00:45:26,960 Speaker 1: he comes back and does even better or tries to 955 00:45:27,000 --> 00:45:29,879 Speaker 1: do even better. And I think the relationship between him 956 00:45:29,880 --> 00:45:32,200 Speaker 1: and Dak has been really good. And when you see 957 00:45:32,200 --> 00:45:35,759 Speaker 1: them working on working during the off season together and 958 00:45:35,800 --> 00:45:38,360 Speaker 1: all that and putting in that extra time. It's it 959 00:45:38,800 --> 00:45:42,160 Speaker 1: shows off and it translates on the field. So I 960 00:45:42,280 --> 00:45:45,120 Speaker 1: was just looking at the defense. So you're you're starting 961 00:45:45,120 --> 00:45:48,080 Speaker 1: safety right now as Tyree Robinson. That's kind of that's 962 00:45:48,160 --> 00:45:51,960 Speaker 1: kind of where this team is right now, Tyree Robinson, 963 00:45:52,440 --> 00:45:57,319 Speaker 1: who looks apart, tall kid from Oregon, which Jerry Jones 964 00:45:57,320 --> 00:46:00,480 Speaker 1: said this morning he expects cave On fres be fine 965 00:46:00,520 --> 00:46:04,319 Speaker 1: for the season opener, But that in itself is I mean, 966 00:46:04,719 --> 00:46:06,600 Speaker 1: it just doesn't sound like a good situation to have 967 00:46:06,719 --> 00:46:09,319 Speaker 1: your third safety and special teams ace be the guy 968 00:46:09,360 --> 00:46:13,000 Speaker 1: you're counting on come the game day. I refuse, I refuse, 969 00:46:13,239 --> 00:46:17,399 Speaker 1: refuse to think that this is it, that that something. No, No, 970 00:46:17,600 --> 00:46:20,879 Speaker 1: there has to be something and not just the guy 971 00:46:20,960 --> 00:46:23,920 Speaker 1: that gets cut this weekend. And it's just like, why 972 00:46:24,000 --> 00:46:27,759 Speaker 1: does there have to be something? Because Robinson that's what 973 00:46:27,800 --> 00:46:32,399 Speaker 1: start happen. He's made zero plays, but but there's no 974 00:46:32,840 --> 00:46:36,800 Speaker 1: I just I find it really really hard to believe 975 00:46:37,080 --> 00:46:41,279 Speaker 1: that the Cowboys do feel confident with what they have 976 00:46:41,360 --> 00:46:44,839 Speaker 1: in Like Davier Woods came on Phrasier and and I'm 977 00:46:44,840 --> 00:46:47,120 Speaker 1: not saying they suck or anything. You know, I like 978 00:46:47,280 --> 00:46:49,680 Speaker 1: that both of them, and I think they're good players. 979 00:46:49,719 --> 00:46:53,959 Speaker 1: But again, when we talk about that that um high 980 00:46:54,080 --> 00:46:57,600 Speaker 1: level and the guy you would expect that safety that 981 00:46:57,840 --> 00:47:00,640 Speaker 1: they're just not there yet because they haven't been proven 982 00:47:00,719 --> 00:47:02,640 Speaker 1: on the field. So let me be clear. Are you 983 00:47:02,680 --> 00:47:07,160 Speaker 1: saying that even if Xavier Woods was healthy and Frasier 984 00:47:07,239 --> 00:47:10,640 Speaker 1: was healthy, completely healthy, you still think that they don't 985 00:47:10,680 --> 00:47:12,879 Speaker 1: feel good about their safety positions that what you're saying. 986 00:47:12,880 --> 00:47:15,000 Speaker 1: Are you saying right now, based upon what's out there, 987 00:47:15,280 --> 00:47:17,640 Speaker 1: they shouldn't feel safety. I mean, they shouldn't feel feel 988 00:47:17,640 --> 00:47:20,680 Speaker 1: good about that. I'm saying that even if Xavier comes 989 00:47:20,680 --> 00:47:25,120 Speaker 1: back Quake two and he's good to go, still I 990 00:47:25,160 --> 00:47:28,399 Speaker 1: think that down the row is just it's just not 991 00:47:29,160 --> 00:47:32,120 Speaker 1: really gonna turn out how they're expecting it to be. 992 00:47:32,200 --> 00:47:34,200 Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm just not one hundred percent confident 993 00:47:34,440 --> 00:47:36,279 Speaker 1: about the position right now in the guys that they 994 00:47:36,840 --> 00:47:38,960 Speaker 1: I'll answer it this way. I think that if if 995 00:47:39,120 --> 00:47:42,000 Speaker 1: if Woods came back healthy and he's been playing okay, 996 00:47:42,160 --> 00:47:45,800 Speaker 1: and Frasier comes back healthy, and Seattle met the demand 997 00:47:45,840 --> 00:47:48,040 Speaker 1: that the Cowboys were asking, the Cowboys have a price 998 00:47:48,080 --> 00:47:50,120 Speaker 1: in Seattle, has a price of Seattle came to them, 999 00:47:50,800 --> 00:47:54,080 Speaker 1: came down to them. That's two catches now for Deontay 1000 00:47:54,160 --> 00:47:59,200 Speaker 1: Thompson team. Yeah he is. That's if that happened, I 1001 00:47:59,239 --> 00:48:01,360 Speaker 1: think the Cowboy would still do it regardless of what 1002 00:48:01,400 --> 00:48:04,120 Speaker 1: Frasier gives you, what what Woods gives you, which I agree. 1003 00:48:04,160 --> 00:48:06,759 Speaker 1: I think we all kind of agree there. I just 1004 00:48:07,239 --> 00:48:09,520 Speaker 1: I don't know that the Cowboys feel like if they 1005 00:48:09,520 --> 00:48:11,600 Speaker 1: have all three of those guys healthy, I mean they 1006 00:48:11,640 --> 00:48:14,400 Speaker 1: win in this far saying that's who we feel comfortable with. 1007 00:48:14,440 --> 00:48:16,120 Speaker 1: I don't know that they that anything has changed from 1008 00:48:16,120 --> 00:48:18,720 Speaker 1: that standpoint if those if those guys are healthy, that's 1009 00:48:18,760 --> 00:48:20,920 Speaker 1: this team has had six months to do something and 1010 00:48:20,960 --> 00:48:23,120 Speaker 1: they don't. They don't want to. They think they're fine, 1011 00:48:23,200 --> 00:48:25,839 Speaker 1: and Xavier Woods is supposed to be back by week two. 1012 00:48:25,920 --> 00:48:28,840 Speaker 1: They think they can make do with Cavon, Frasier and Xavier. 1013 00:48:28,920 --> 00:48:31,440 Speaker 1: Like I they'll probably add a guy this weekend. Like 1014 00:48:31,520 --> 00:48:33,920 Speaker 1: I don't think they're gonna do anything significant and safety. 1015 00:48:33,960 --> 00:48:35,840 Speaker 1: I think it would have happened by now, telling what 1016 00:48:36,000 --> 00:48:38,719 Speaker 1: ninety four changes a lot of things. That's yeah, if 1017 00:48:38,760 --> 00:48:42,600 Speaker 1: you can get him. Look at ninety Randy Gregory and 1018 00:48:42,680 --> 00:48:45,560 Speaker 1: Jalen Smith are just like bomb rushing the passer right now, 1019 00:48:45,600 --> 00:48:47,319 Speaker 1: Like that's and they're gonna say stuff like that. They're 1020 00:48:47,320 --> 00:48:49,640 Speaker 1: gonna be like, this pass rush can make any safety 1021 00:48:49,680 --> 00:48:55,080 Speaker 1: look good. But but but if you've got that those 1022 00:48:55,080 --> 00:48:59,360 Speaker 1: guys rushing the passer and at that level, it changes 1023 00:48:59,400 --> 00:49:01,799 Speaker 1: what you need the safety, right And I mean if 1024 00:49:01,840 --> 00:49:04,000 Speaker 1: you even throw out the Earl Thomas stuff, like if 1025 00:49:04,000 --> 00:49:06,279 Speaker 1: you even want to talk about it, it's gonna take 1026 00:49:06,400 --> 00:49:09,560 Speaker 1: multiple weeks of Earl Thomas being willing to miss game 1027 00:49:09,640 --> 00:49:12,400 Speaker 1: checks before Seattle's gonna budge on that they're not relenting 1028 00:49:12,400 --> 00:49:15,640 Speaker 1: on that. Literally, the season starting changes nothing, because the 1029 00:49:15,640 --> 00:49:17,719 Speaker 1: whole thing comes down to whether Earl Thomas is willing 1030 00:49:17,760 --> 00:49:20,279 Speaker 1: to give up his salary. And until the Seahawks see 1031 00:49:20,320 --> 00:49:22,759 Speaker 1: proof that he is, they're not going to change their minds. 1032 00:49:22,760 --> 00:49:25,439 Speaker 1: So forget about that until at least like week three 1033 00:49:25,520 --> 00:49:28,080 Speaker 1: or four. Yea. So this is what it is. I 1034 00:49:28,120 --> 00:49:30,000 Speaker 1: really don't think it's going to change on a significant 1035 00:49:30,080 --> 00:49:32,239 Speaker 1: level in the next month or so. And not only that, Nick, 1036 00:49:32,280 --> 00:49:34,200 Speaker 1: you mentioned the pass rush, but also when they look 1037 00:49:34,239 --> 00:49:36,160 Speaker 1: up their corner if they get the production out of 1038 00:49:36,160 --> 00:49:38,520 Speaker 1: those cornerbacks that they think they're gonna get, then they 1039 00:49:38,600 --> 00:49:40,759 Speaker 1: really think about the fact that, hey, we think we 1040 00:49:40,760 --> 00:49:43,040 Speaker 1: can leave those guys on a island by themselves sometimes, 1041 00:49:43,040 --> 00:49:45,960 Speaker 1: and so it does change again what you need at 1042 00:49:46,000 --> 00:49:47,880 Speaker 1: safety when you have a pass rush and you have 1043 00:49:47,920 --> 00:49:50,440 Speaker 1: really good corners, if you're looking to have a good defense. 1044 00:49:50,800 --> 00:49:52,880 Speaker 1: But when you look at Seattle had a ton of 1045 00:49:52,920 --> 00:49:55,359 Speaker 1: pass rush, they had really good corners, and they had 1046 00:49:55,640 --> 00:49:58,040 Speaker 1: even better safeties, and they were one of the best 1047 00:49:58,120 --> 00:50:01,240 Speaker 1: defenses in the history of the NFL. Really And you know, okay, 1048 00:50:01,719 --> 00:50:07,279 Speaker 1: star practice, you still want to cut him to you 1049 00:50:07,280 --> 00:50:10,399 Speaker 1: said you didn't think they were gonna cut him. That's right. Sorry, yeah, 1050 00:50:10,440 --> 00:50:12,080 Speaker 1: I don't think that they want to cut him. And 1051 00:50:12,160 --> 00:50:14,680 Speaker 1: we've said this all along. Don Deonte Thompson just gives 1052 00:50:14,719 --> 00:50:17,080 Speaker 1: you something that no one else has from a speed 1053 00:50:17,120 --> 00:50:22,279 Speaker 1: element like that. And I think, you know, Lance lan Or, 1054 00:50:22,800 --> 00:50:25,920 Speaker 1: it's just one of those situations where he's been really 1055 00:50:26,320 --> 00:50:29,080 Speaker 1: rock solid. Other than punt returning, he's been a rock 1056 00:50:29,120 --> 00:50:31,239 Speaker 1: solid at receiver. But I don't think that gets you 1057 00:50:31,280 --> 00:50:33,000 Speaker 1: on the team. If if you're just solid, you have 1058 00:50:33,080 --> 00:50:36,880 Speaker 1: to do something that stands out. Yep, Okay, give me 1059 00:50:36,920 --> 00:50:42,879 Speaker 1: your camp MVP, uh Man MVP. Some of the names 1060 00:50:42,880 --> 00:50:47,920 Speaker 1: that were thrown out were Cheeto Bay interesting. Jihad Ward 1061 00:50:48,160 --> 00:50:53,200 Speaker 1: was Mickey's pick for for Camp MVP. I think Lindsay 1062 00:50:53,280 --> 00:50:55,480 Speaker 1: was the one that said tackle Charlton, which is not 1063 00:50:55,600 --> 00:50:59,120 Speaker 1: a bad pick. Um, Dave, you said Cheeto and Jeoid 1064 00:50:59,160 --> 00:51:02,520 Speaker 1: would be your cot your co MVP. See pretty good 1065 00:51:02,520 --> 00:51:04,000 Speaker 1: about one of those. What would you guys? What would 1066 00:51:04,000 --> 00:51:07,319 Speaker 1: you guys say? Now? Jack Martin is the guy we pick. 1067 00:51:07,480 --> 00:51:09,640 Speaker 1: That's it's it all goes back to the curve. Like 1068 00:51:09,680 --> 00:51:12,200 Speaker 1: when he's been healthy. Nobody's been better day after day 1069 00:51:12,200 --> 00:51:15,080 Speaker 1: than Zack Martin. But a couple of names that jump out. 1070 00:51:15,400 --> 00:51:18,919 Speaker 1: Byron Jones playing a new position has been phenomenal way 1071 00:51:18,920 --> 00:51:21,239 Speaker 1: more often than he hasn't been. Tavon Austin was good, 1072 00:51:21,280 --> 00:51:25,160 Speaker 1: and Kavon Austin, Cole Beasley, Jalen Smith just day after 1073 00:51:25,280 --> 00:51:29,040 Speaker 1: day of really impressing and then God call me crazy. 1074 00:51:29,200 --> 00:51:31,640 Speaker 1: Randy Gregory for the two weeks that he's been out there, 1075 00:51:31,680 --> 00:51:34,719 Speaker 1: he's been awesome. Joe Thomas was really good because they 1076 00:51:34,760 --> 00:51:37,960 Speaker 1: didn't they started out not practicing. Shawn Lee and Joe 1077 00:51:38,040 --> 00:51:39,879 Speaker 1: was in there and they really didn't miss a beat 1078 00:51:39,920 --> 00:51:41,839 Speaker 1: on defense, which is something we're not used to seeing 1079 00:51:41,880 --> 00:51:43,560 Speaker 1: with Shaun Lee's out of it. So I thought Joe 1080 00:51:43,560 --> 00:51:46,080 Speaker 1: Thomas got some votes on our top ten list as well. 1081 00:51:46,160 --> 00:51:50,319 Speaker 1: All Right, the Tyrn Smith, he's the guy that just 1082 00:51:50,360 --> 00:51:53,200 Speaker 1: because of my thoughts and you know, I've always been 1083 00:51:53,239 --> 00:51:56,480 Speaker 1: worried even since last year injury wise, that has been 1084 00:51:56,480 --> 00:51:59,080 Speaker 1: concerning to me, and the fact that yes, he's being 1085 00:51:59,080 --> 00:52:01,759 Speaker 1: a little banked up right now and here and there, 1086 00:52:01,840 --> 00:52:06,040 Speaker 1: but from what I've seen, he's still one of the 1087 00:52:06,080 --> 00:52:09,200 Speaker 1: most powerful guys here on the whole team, and it's 1088 00:52:09,239 --> 00:52:12,080 Speaker 1: amazing when you see him play and at the level 1089 00:52:12,120 --> 00:52:15,359 Speaker 1: that he plays. So anyways, based on my thoughts on 1090 00:52:15,440 --> 00:52:17,759 Speaker 1: him and injury wise and all that, just what I've 1091 00:52:17,760 --> 00:52:21,120 Speaker 1: seen from him at practice, I would name him as 1092 00:52:21,160 --> 00:52:23,279 Speaker 1: one of my top ones. All Right, I'm gonna skip 1093 00:52:23,320 --> 00:52:25,120 Speaker 1: through some of these questions because we've kind of already 1094 00:52:25,120 --> 00:52:28,560 Speaker 1: talked about some of them to Jalen Smith, Tavon, Austin 1095 00:52:29,360 --> 00:52:32,040 Speaker 1: d Law. I want to get to the top three 1096 00:52:32,120 --> 00:52:34,000 Speaker 1: questions and see if we can get these in. Number 1097 00:52:34,040 --> 00:52:36,840 Speaker 1: three was do the Cowboys need a number one wide 1098 00:52:36,840 --> 00:52:40,200 Speaker 1: receiver based on what you've seen during training camp in preseason, 1099 00:52:40,280 --> 00:52:42,719 Speaker 1: do you think are you buying into the concept that 1100 00:52:42,760 --> 00:52:45,560 Speaker 1: they can roll with having a lot of receivers that 1101 00:52:45,600 --> 00:52:47,319 Speaker 1: are just kind of all at the same level, rather 1102 00:52:47,360 --> 00:52:50,120 Speaker 1: than having one that is much better than the rest. 1103 00:52:51,280 --> 00:52:53,960 Speaker 1: I really do, I really I haven't seen anything at 1104 00:52:53,960 --> 00:52:57,479 Speaker 1: this training camp to dissuade me that this strategy can work, 1105 00:52:57,600 --> 00:53:00,239 Speaker 1: because I am we didn't even throw him out there 1106 00:53:00,239 --> 00:53:03,120 Speaker 1: for MVP. I'm so impressed with Ezekiel Elliott. Yeah, we 1107 00:53:03,120 --> 00:53:05,479 Speaker 1: haven't seen him playing in the preseason. I don't give 1108 00:53:05,560 --> 00:53:08,359 Speaker 1: a flip. He has looked awesome. I know I could 1109 00:53:08,360 --> 00:53:12,360 Speaker 1: have said something. I wasn't sure he's been He looks 1110 00:53:12,400 --> 00:53:15,520 Speaker 1: like he is ready, which how can you even take 1111 00:53:15,520 --> 00:53:17,200 Speaker 1: a step up from being one of the best backs 1112 00:53:17,200 --> 00:53:18,960 Speaker 1: in the league. But I really think he's gonna take 1113 00:53:18,960 --> 00:53:22,280 Speaker 1: a step and I hope this coaching staff is willing 1114 00:53:22,320 --> 00:53:25,080 Speaker 1: to use him as creatively as you see with guys 1115 00:53:25,080 --> 00:53:28,399 Speaker 1: like Levion Bell, because he can do that. Somebody, though, 1116 00:53:28,520 --> 00:53:31,200 Speaker 1: is gonna have to force their hand. It's gonna have 1117 00:53:31,280 --> 00:53:34,440 Speaker 1: to make the defense play a little bit, play on 1118 00:53:34,560 --> 00:53:37,880 Speaker 1: us with them. If they just go standard bass and 1119 00:53:38,080 --> 00:53:39,680 Speaker 1: I got this guy, and you got this guy, and 1120 00:53:39,760 --> 00:53:42,480 Speaker 1: we don't have to really worry about this player. It 1121 00:53:42,520 --> 00:53:44,719 Speaker 1: could be it could be problematic because you can't sta 1122 00:53:44,880 --> 00:53:47,200 Speaker 1: stack the box when you do things like that. So 1123 00:53:47,280 --> 00:53:50,600 Speaker 1: I don't know if it's if it's one particular guy, 1124 00:53:50,800 --> 00:53:53,080 Speaker 1: but somebody when they're out there is gonna have to 1125 00:53:53,120 --> 00:53:54,719 Speaker 1: scare them. And I don't know who that's gonna be. 1126 00:53:54,760 --> 00:53:58,960 Speaker 1: I haven't seen it from Herns, but he's got to 1127 00:53:59,000 --> 00:54:03,040 Speaker 1: do some more things Verle. Yeah, I mean, honestly, it's 1128 00:54:03,080 --> 00:54:06,160 Speaker 1: one practice, but I mean Deonte Thompson has got to 1129 00:54:06,200 --> 00:54:08,680 Speaker 1: be able to do something like that because Bryce Butler 1130 00:54:08,719 --> 00:54:11,200 Speaker 1: at times could scare the defense because he could get 1131 00:54:11,280 --> 00:54:13,920 Speaker 1: by them. They just wouldn't throw it a lot. On 1132 00:54:13,960 --> 00:54:16,240 Speaker 1: two of the three preseason games we've seeing Michael Gallop 1133 00:54:16,320 --> 00:54:18,719 Speaker 1: down Phil. One of them was a touchdown. One of 1134 00:54:18,719 --> 00:54:21,360 Speaker 1: them was a little bit off, but it had the potential. 1135 00:54:21,400 --> 00:54:23,400 Speaker 1: He had the guy beat. I think Michael Gallop is 1136 00:54:23,440 --> 00:54:24,960 Speaker 1: a guy that maybe feels a role for you like that. 1137 00:54:25,000 --> 00:54:26,799 Speaker 1: I don't know why I keep forgetting him when I 1138 00:54:26,840 --> 00:54:29,520 Speaker 1: think in receivers, I just don't. And he's been the 1139 00:54:29,520 --> 00:54:33,080 Speaker 1: best one. Yeah. Between between the six of them that 1140 00:54:33,120 --> 00:54:36,520 Speaker 1: I think they'll carry, they'll they will get the job done. 1141 00:54:36,520 --> 00:54:40,520 Speaker 1: When combined with Zeke, I mean I have confidences and 1142 00:54:40,600 --> 00:54:44,000 Speaker 1: even take away Zeke if just even with Ron Smith 1143 00:54:44,600 --> 00:54:47,200 Speaker 1: coming in us, let's not take away no, no, obviously 1144 00:54:47,719 --> 00:54:50,399 Speaker 1: obviously no. But you think here's the thing a few 1145 00:54:50,480 --> 00:54:54,200 Speaker 1: months ago, let me explain. A few months ago, I 1146 00:54:54,239 --> 00:54:56,160 Speaker 1: think we talked about this and I'm like, oh, you 1147 00:54:56,239 --> 00:54:59,120 Speaker 1: need a number one wide receiver. That was my answer. 1148 00:54:59,200 --> 00:55:02,440 Speaker 1: But that was with the mentality of you know, me 1149 00:55:02,760 --> 00:55:05,719 Speaker 1: thinking of wearing off Zeke can throughout the game and 1150 00:55:05,800 --> 00:55:08,279 Speaker 1: maybe going downhill a little bit if you have him 1151 00:55:08,320 --> 00:55:11,359 Speaker 1: so much out there and you're using him constantly over 1152 00:55:11,440 --> 00:55:15,000 Speaker 1: and over. But when I say takeaway and seek, when 1153 00:55:15,000 --> 00:55:17,640 Speaker 1: you look at the backup spot that you can rotate 1154 00:55:17,760 --> 00:55:20,600 Speaker 1: him too, and like a certain scenarios you throw in. 1155 00:55:20,719 --> 00:55:23,560 Speaker 1: Rod Smith is the guy that has been doing amazing. 1156 00:55:23,640 --> 00:55:27,440 Speaker 1: He's doing a great job. So that's what I basically 1157 00:55:27,480 --> 00:55:29,760 Speaker 1: what I'm trying to say. You got Rod Smith too 1158 00:55:29,800 --> 00:55:32,600 Speaker 1: that can help in there, and the running game can 1159 00:55:32,880 --> 00:55:35,560 Speaker 1: keep being really good even when z comes off the field. 1160 00:55:36,360 --> 00:55:39,600 Speaker 1: All Right, there's question number two. Who's under more pressure, 1161 00:55:39,840 --> 00:55:43,560 Speaker 1: Dak Prescott or Jason Garrett. Garrett We've had We went 1162 00:55:43,680 --> 00:55:47,359 Speaker 1: on a point counterpoint on this, Dave and I did 1163 00:55:47,440 --> 00:55:50,600 Speaker 1: so I said it was Garrett and you say, Dad, 1164 00:55:50,680 --> 00:55:54,080 Speaker 1: give me some reasons. My reason is is that I 1165 00:55:54,440 --> 00:55:57,440 Speaker 1: just feel like, you know, the pressure that Dak is 1166 00:55:57,480 --> 00:56:00,720 Speaker 1: under states to get a new contract has been proven 1167 00:56:00,760 --> 00:56:03,720 Speaker 1: that you do not have to have a winning record 1168 00:56:04,080 --> 00:56:07,319 Speaker 1: to to to get paid. I mean, he could be 1169 00:56:07,360 --> 00:56:10,399 Speaker 1: pretty good and he's still gonna get paid. And if 1170 00:56:10,480 --> 00:56:13,000 Speaker 1: this team doesn't go to the NFC Championship game, I 1171 00:56:13,040 --> 00:56:15,000 Speaker 1: don't think Jason Garrett's the coach next year. So I 1172 00:56:15,040 --> 00:56:17,960 Speaker 1: don't think the seat can get any hotter for him 1173 00:56:18,000 --> 00:56:21,000 Speaker 1: as a coach. Here I go grading on a scale again, 1174 00:56:21,560 --> 00:56:26,160 Speaker 1: But you know, obviously we're coaching this team is Jason 1175 00:56:26,239 --> 00:56:30,000 Speaker 1: Garrett's lifelong dream and nobody, nobody's more like bread for 1176 00:56:30,160 --> 00:56:32,600 Speaker 1: it than he is. But he's made a ton of 1177 00:56:32,640 --> 00:56:35,520 Speaker 1: money and has gotten seven years coaching this team. And 1178 00:56:35,560 --> 00:56:38,520 Speaker 1: if he gets fired, he'll be an offensive coordinator or 1179 00:56:38,560 --> 00:56:42,600 Speaker 1: a quarterbacks coach in the league in a week, Dak Prescott, 1180 00:56:43,600 --> 00:56:45,440 Speaker 1: he could be the face of this franchise for the 1181 00:56:45,440 --> 00:56:48,399 Speaker 1: next decade and a perennial Pro bowler. If this goes 1182 00:56:48,400 --> 00:56:52,600 Speaker 1: the right way, or if this season doesn't, he Cowboys 1183 00:56:52,640 --> 00:56:55,520 Speaker 1: could be looking to replace him in eight months. And 1184 00:56:55,560 --> 00:56:57,560 Speaker 1: that's just I think that's a different kind of pressure. 1185 00:56:57,600 --> 00:56:59,520 Speaker 1: Like I really, Dak is at a fork in the 1186 00:56:59,600 --> 00:57:02,479 Speaker 1: road in his career, Like Jason Garrett's gonna be fine 1187 00:57:02,480 --> 00:57:04,280 Speaker 1: in the grand scheme of things, even if the Cowboys 1188 00:57:04,320 --> 00:57:07,279 Speaker 1: fire him. But this could be the difference between Dak 1189 00:57:07,320 --> 00:57:09,920 Speaker 1: being the face of the Cowboys for an entire generation 1190 00:57:09,920 --> 00:57:12,839 Speaker 1: of fans or a guy that we talk about in 1191 00:57:12,880 --> 00:57:15,279 Speaker 1: five years as like, man, remember the Dak era. That's 1192 00:57:15,480 --> 00:57:17,320 Speaker 1: that was crazy, you know. So I just I think 1193 00:57:17,320 --> 00:57:19,760 Speaker 1: it's a different kind of pressure. I don't necessarily agree 1194 00:57:19,760 --> 00:57:21,640 Speaker 1: with you, but I think that was well put with 1195 00:57:21,680 --> 00:57:24,200 Speaker 1: what you said about Dak. I mean, you're you're right 1196 00:57:24,480 --> 00:57:27,920 Speaker 1: about you know, it is what Garrett's gonna get, what 1197 00:57:28,000 --> 00:57:30,280 Speaker 1: would he would do and all that kind of stuff. Yeah, 1198 00:57:30,320 --> 00:57:32,560 Speaker 1: but that makes sense what you explained. But but and 1199 00:57:32,760 --> 00:57:34,040 Speaker 1: I get what y'all are saying, though, I mean, not 1200 00:57:34,200 --> 00:57:36,680 Speaker 1: the aftermath. None of that happens next at the moment 1201 00:57:36,720 --> 00:57:39,840 Speaker 1: for the Cowboys and the team. And honestly, I wrote Dak, 1202 00:57:39,960 --> 00:57:42,840 Speaker 1: but in that regard, you're probably right. Like I mean, 1203 00:57:43,880 --> 00:57:47,080 Speaker 1: the it's gonna get it's gonna be uncomfortable for Jason 1204 00:57:47,120 --> 00:57:50,040 Speaker 1: Garrett if this team doesn't perform well way more so 1205 00:57:50,160 --> 00:57:51,720 Speaker 1: than Dak if he had to guess, eight and eight, 1206 00:57:51,800 --> 00:57:54,040 Speaker 1: nine and seven is where this team has lived, you know, 1207 00:57:54,080 --> 00:57:57,760 Speaker 1: for for a while. If that happens, I think Dak's 1208 00:57:57,760 --> 00:58:00,640 Speaker 1: the quarterback next year. I don't think Jason it's the coach. 1209 00:58:01,120 --> 00:58:02,720 Speaker 1: It's a good point, and it's a good point, and 1210 00:58:02,800 --> 00:58:05,440 Speaker 1: that's kind of what we've seen from this team this 1211 00:58:05,520 --> 00:58:07,840 Speaker 1: year and other years. All right, let's get to the 1212 00:58:07,840 --> 00:58:09,960 Speaker 1: final question. This one is an easy one, but a 1213 00:58:09,960 --> 00:58:11,920 Speaker 1: hard one at the same time. Do the Cowboys make 1214 00:58:11,960 --> 00:58:14,520 Speaker 1: the playoffs? As I just said eight and eight, nine 1215 00:58:14,560 --> 00:58:18,960 Speaker 1: and seven, I think they. I think they do. I 1216 00:58:19,000 --> 00:58:22,000 Speaker 1: think they do make the playoffs. Travis Frederick injury is 1217 00:58:22,080 --> 00:58:26,880 Speaker 1: really big, I answered, I would answered that before that. 1218 00:58:27,200 --> 00:58:29,960 Speaker 1: I think this team can go ten and six, and 1219 00:58:30,040 --> 00:58:32,800 Speaker 1: it's it's gonna be tough, but I think that they 1220 00:58:33,040 --> 00:58:35,640 Speaker 1: What they do best is they run the football. They 1221 00:58:35,720 --> 00:58:37,560 Speaker 1: got the best player on the field most of the 1222 00:58:37,600 --> 00:58:39,959 Speaker 1: time when Zeke's out there. They can run the ball. 1223 00:58:40,120 --> 00:58:41,680 Speaker 1: That keeps you in every game. And I think this 1224 00:58:41,800 --> 00:58:43,680 Speaker 1: defense will fly around enough and make a little bit 1225 00:58:43,680 --> 00:58:45,240 Speaker 1: more plays. Yeah, I think they have a chance to 1226 00:58:45,280 --> 00:58:46,600 Speaker 1: make it. I think they do it. Ten and six 1227 00:58:46,840 --> 00:58:48,720 Speaker 1: I absolutely think they have a chance to make it. 1228 00:58:48,760 --> 00:58:51,200 Speaker 1: And I said this before training camp. Obviously a lot 1229 00:58:51,240 --> 00:58:53,880 Speaker 1: of stuff has happened that I couldn't have foreseen, but 1230 00:58:53,920 --> 00:58:56,040 Speaker 1: I you know, the defense has looked a lot better 1231 00:58:56,040 --> 00:58:59,160 Speaker 1: than I expected, you know, Michael Gallup. A lot of 1232 00:58:59,160 --> 00:59:02,520 Speaker 1: stuff comes to but I haven't seen anything that convinces 1233 00:59:02,560 --> 00:59:06,520 Speaker 1: me that this team is drastically different than I thought. 1234 00:59:06,600 --> 00:59:08,560 Speaker 1: And I think they're gonna be good. I think they're 1235 00:59:08,560 --> 00:59:11,240 Speaker 1: gonna finish with a winning record. I think the NFC 1236 00:59:11,720 --> 00:59:15,520 Speaker 1: is strong. I mean, the Rams, the NFC East is 1237 00:59:15,560 --> 00:59:18,640 Speaker 1: just the strong, the Vikings, the Eagles. I just there's 1238 00:59:18,760 --> 00:59:21,280 Speaker 1: there's so many the Saints, the Falcons, the Panthers, there's 1239 00:59:21,320 --> 00:59:24,320 Speaker 1: so many teams that have good squads. I just I 1240 00:59:24,320 --> 00:59:25,840 Speaker 1: don't think they're gonna make it. I think, but I 1241 00:59:25,840 --> 00:59:27,800 Speaker 1: think it's it's not gonna because they're bad. I just 1242 00:59:27,800 --> 00:59:29,480 Speaker 1: think there's only so many spots. You don't even throw 1243 00:59:29,520 --> 00:59:34,360 Speaker 1: in the best quarterback in the Aaron Rodders. The conference 1244 00:59:34,520 --> 00:59:37,200 Speaker 1: is stacked, and I think the Cowboys are gonna be 1245 00:59:37,200 --> 00:59:39,000 Speaker 1: a good team, but there's only so many spots to 1246 00:59:39,040 --> 00:59:42,160 Speaker 1: go around. I'll be I won't be surprised if they 1247 00:59:42,160 --> 00:59:44,200 Speaker 1: make the playoffs. I just right now in August, I 1248 00:59:44,200 --> 00:59:47,520 Speaker 1: don't think they will. Yeah, I think they have the 1249 00:59:47,600 --> 00:59:51,600 Speaker 1: capability and the ability to make the playoffs. They They're 1250 00:59:51,960 --> 00:59:54,520 Speaker 1: a good team, they really are. They have a lot 1251 00:59:54,600 --> 00:59:58,000 Speaker 1: of really good guys. Now what I'm missing is seeing 1252 00:59:58,000 --> 01:00:00,920 Speaker 1: it all come together and seeing what's going to happen 1253 01:00:00,960 --> 01:00:04,800 Speaker 1: with the line, With the changes that have occurred injury wise, 1254 01:00:04,880 --> 01:00:08,360 Speaker 1: Travis being out, can Joe Looney handle a whole season 1255 01:00:09,120 --> 01:00:11,520 Speaker 1: taking care of the center position. I don't know. I 1256 01:00:11,960 --> 01:00:14,680 Speaker 1: still need to see all the pieces come together. But 1257 01:00:15,400 --> 01:00:18,400 Speaker 1: do they have the capability absolutely. The one thing I 1258 01:00:18,440 --> 01:00:21,000 Speaker 1: will say is, and I think I've come to this 1259 01:00:21,080 --> 01:00:24,440 Speaker 1: conclusion about this team under Jason Garrett. When things go well, 1260 01:00:24,640 --> 01:00:26,080 Speaker 1: and what I mean by that is when you don't 1261 01:00:26,080 --> 01:00:29,440 Speaker 1: get the unexpected, when you don't have this major player 1262 01:00:29,440 --> 01:00:31,360 Speaker 1: that goes out for a significant amount of time, when 1263 01:00:31,360 --> 01:00:33,560 Speaker 1: you can keep all that stuff kind of afloat, they 1264 01:00:33,600 --> 01:00:35,560 Speaker 1: have a chance to be a really, really good team. 1265 01:00:35,600 --> 01:00:38,680 Speaker 1: That's when they have their best seasons. So you put 1266 01:00:38,680 --> 01:00:41,600 Speaker 1: it in that context, and I think what Nick said 1267 01:00:41,840 --> 01:00:47,080 Speaker 1: really resonates that Travis Frederick injury becomes huge if Joe Looney, 1268 01:00:47,120 --> 01:00:52,840 Speaker 1: as I suspect is good, is appreciably close to where 1269 01:00:52,960 --> 01:00:55,760 Speaker 1: somewhere close to where Travis Frederick would have played, and 1270 01:00:55,760 --> 01:00:58,160 Speaker 1: he doesn't. It doesn't create problems for you that Travis 1271 01:00:58,240 --> 01:01:01,240 Speaker 1: Frederick isn't out there. Then I think this team that 1272 01:01:01,360 --> 01:01:03,240 Speaker 1: may be a good sign for this team. I think 1273 01:01:03,240 --> 01:01:05,760 Speaker 1: if they lose guys like Tying, if they lose guys 1274 01:01:05,840 --> 01:01:09,120 Speaker 1: like like Sean Lee, what what we've seen over the 1275 01:01:09,160 --> 01:01:11,320 Speaker 1: last few years is when they lose their best players, 1276 01:01:11,640 --> 01:01:14,600 Speaker 1: they are not the team that then gets to the playoffs. 1277 01:01:14,640 --> 01:01:16,360 Speaker 1: So I think it's going to be all about injuries 1278 01:01:16,400 --> 01:01:19,120 Speaker 1: for this team. I think that's the Jason Garrett error 1279 01:01:19,160 --> 01:01:20,920 Speaker 1: as I see it is it's all about injuries. So 1280 01:01:21,040 --> 01:01:23,920 Speaker 1: is that a yes or no? So right now, I'm 1281 01:01:23,960 --> 01:01:26,640 Speaker 1: gonna say they will make it based upon what I 1282 01:01:26,680 --> 01:01:29,520 Speaker 1: know right now, and I will say that that will 1283 01:01:29,600 --> 01:01:32,120 Speaker 1: change if we start seeing injuries, and I'll change in 1284 01:01:32,160 --> 01:01:33,840 Speaker 1: my mind. But right now I will say yes, they 1285 01:01:33,880 --> 01:01:35,480 Speaker 1: can make because they have enough talent. I think they 1286 01:01:35,480 --> 01:01:37,280 Speaker 1: have more than enough talent to make it. Because all 1287 01:01:37,320 --> 01:01:40,440 Speaker 1: those teams that Dave just mentioned, one of them, maybe two, 1288 01:01:40,520 --> 01:01:43,240 Speaker 1: are going to be bad. I mean's just the nature 1289 01:01:43,240 --> 01:01:45,920 Speaker 1: of the league. I think somebody's gonna be really good. 1290 01:01:45,960 --> 01:01:49,000 Speaker 1: And because if they have injuries, Yeah, that's why you 1291 01:01:49,040 --> 01:01:50,840 Speaker 1: got to give so much credit to what the Eagles did. 1292 01:01:50,840 --> 01:01:54,160 Speaker 1: They suffered a lot of them still went in there. 1293 01:01:54,240 --> 01:01:56,120 Speaker 1: And you know, a lot of a lot of fans 1294 01:01:56,120 --> 01:01:58,560 Speaker 1: will say, what about the coach comes down to coaching 1295 01:01:58,640 --> 01:02:01,120 Speaker 1: comes down to that. But you know, say what you will. 1296 01:02:01,160 --> 01:02:04,840 Speaker 1: I mean he's been he's kept them pretty competitive for 1297 01:02:04,880 --> 01:02:08,360 Speaker 1: the most part, and and a little better than that. 1298 01:02:09,520 --> 01:02:11,400 Speaker 1: I think he'll have him right there again. Yep. And 1299 01:02:11,400 --> 01:02:13,640 Speaker 1: they ended up nine and seven last year without their 1300 01:02:13,680 --> 01:02:16,840 Speaker 1: three best players for a good part of season. That though, 1301 01:02:16,920 --> 01:02:18,920 Speaker 1: is the difference between them and the Eagles. The Eagles 1302 01:02:18,920 --> 01:02:22,040 Speaker 1: lost arguably their three best players throughout the season and 1303 01:02:22,080 --> 01:02:24,360 Speaker 1: they ended up winning the Super Bowl. So there's no 1304 01:02:24,400 --> 01:02:26,560 Speaker 1: doubt in my mind they'll be in the conversation because 1305 01:02:26,600 --> 01:02:30,400 Speaker 1: they only haven't been one time in Barrett's career. But again, 1306 01:02:30,600 --> 01:02:32,440 Speaker 1: that's a steep it's a steep hill to climb in 1307 01:02:32,440 --> 01:02:34,400 Speaker 1: the NFC this year.
