WEBVTT - Talkin' Cowboys: Will Dallas Utilize Tavon Austin? 0:00:03.480 --> 0:00:06.000 The following is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com 0:00:06.040 --> 0:00:17.840 and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club. This he's Talking Cowboys 0:00:17.840 --> 0:00:21.239 training live from the Dallas Cowboys World headquarters at the 0:00:21.320 --> 0:00:32.479 Star in Frisco. Stop teaching. Here are Nicky Spagnola, Brian Bronis, 0:00:32.960 --> 0:00:39.519 Rob Phillips, and Bill Jones. It's a last Monday, excuse me, 0:00:39.880 --> 0:00:44.360 the last Mamma in August, and it's a day off 0:00:44.360 --> 0:00:46.120 of the players, or maybe it should be a day 0:00:46.120 --> 0:00:48.720 off for me. With that voice coming out of the 0:00:48.800 --> 0:00:51.920 open right there, this is talking Cowboys. There is no 0:00:52.120 --> 0:00:55.440 day off for talking cowboys, right, guys. No, there's no 0:00:55.600 --> 0:00:59.680 day off training camp period. Embrace the grind. That's right. 0:01:00.240 --> 0:01:02.600 We're five days into this thing as far as the 0:01:02.600 --> 0:01:06.120 players schedule is concerned, because they've had four practices, although 0:01:06.120 --> 0:01:09.120 they did have a conditioning test day prior to that, 0:01:09.200 --> 0:01:11.920 so it's we're a week into this thing. This is 0:01:11.959 --> 0:01:14.319 the This is the seventh day that the team has 0:01:14.360 --> 0:01:18.959 been here in Oxnard, California. They arrived last Tuesday and 0:01:19.040 --> 0:01:21.360 this being and on the seventh day they rested the 0:01:21.360 --> 0:01:25.120 players by by NFL rule. That's right, right, right, Not 0:01:25.240 --> 0:01:28.040 that the coaches wanted to rest the player. Ever do 0:01:28.400 --> 0:01:31.600 the Players Association wants them to be rested today? But 0:01:31.680 --> 0:01:34.000 here we are talking cowboys and we've got two padded 0:01:34.040 --> 0:01:37.440 practices under our belt. There's so much to talk about, 0:01:37.800 --> 0:01:42.199 not only from the practice field behind us, but interviews 0:01:42.280 --> 0:01:46.280 to go on after practice and so forth. Jerry Jones 0:01:46.319 --> 0:01:48.440 did his car wash last night. We'll get into that 0:01:48.480 --> 0:01:50.720 a little bit over the course of the next hour. 0:01:50.880 --> 0:01:53.560 But do we start things off? The phone number is 0:01:53.640 --> 0:01:56.840 nine seven two four nine seven forty four hundred. Give 0:01:56.920 --> 0:01:59.279 us a call and any questions that you have about 0:01:59.280 --> 0:02:02.440 this team. But you're takeaway from the first weekend of 0:02:02.520 --> 0:02:06.440 training camp. How about we start with the elder statesman down. Oh, 0:02:06.520 --> 0:02:12.520 it would be very nice, but my voice is not cracking. 0:02:12.680 --> 0:02:15.959 You know, you had to work late last Night's right, 0:02:16.440 --> 0:02:19.880 a lot of talking. I think my my initial takeaway 0:02:19.960 --> 0:02:23.120 when the pads came on was just how well the 0:02:23.840 --> 0:02:27.520 UH offensive line UH played. The first team offensive line 0:02:27.560 --> 0:02:32.880 has played. UH. They totally dominated that first pad practice yesterday. 0:02:32.919 --> 0:02:36.960 The defensive UH line did a little bit better. UH, 0:02:36.960 --> 0:02:41.480 they had some moments. But I thought the fact that, um, 0:02:41.680 --> 0:02:45.880 you were integrating a rookie at left guard, and you know, 0:02:45.919 --> 0:02:48.160 we were all wondering how that was going to work out, 0:02:48.240 --> 0:02:51.200 and I thought he held his own against some kind 0:02:51.200 --> 0:02:54.720 of veteran defensive lineman, uh, Connor Williams, and so yeah, 0:02:54.800 --> 0:02:59.080 to me, uh, it was that offensive line, uh, and 0:02:59.280 --> 0:03:02.440 the fact that I was a little roble attest to 0:03:02.480 --> 0:03:07.160 this little skeptical about Cameron Fleming. He just I mean 0:03:07.200 --> 0:03:09.760 when when they weren't in pads, it looked like his 0:03:09.840 --> 0:03:13.000 knees were locked, like he couldn't bend. And then all 0:03:13.000 --> 0:03:15.079 of a sudden, the pads came on and they had 0:03:15.120 --> 0:03:18.240 some drills, and he did much better than I expected 0:03:18.320 --> 0:03:20.800 him to do. So that made me feel a little 0:03:20.800 --> 0:03:24.760 bit better about the left tackle backup left tackle spot. 0:03:24.800 --> 0:03:27.120 But I'll reserve judgment on that. You know what, I 0:03:27.160 --> 0:03:29.000 took a closer look at him during the one on 0:03:29.000 --> 0:03:32.120 one pass rushtrills yesterday because of what you said, and 0:03:32.200 --> 0:03:35.040 you're kind of right, like it's not super pretty, and 0:03:35.080 --> 0:03:37.400 he looks like he's struggling for a while, and before 0:03:37.400 --> 0:03:38.920 you know what, the drills over and he's kind of 0:03:38.920 --> 0:03:42.080 locked his man in position. He did that against Coney Eli. Yeah, 0:03:41.560 --> 0:03:44.920 so anyway, I think that's my initial rep. I mean, 0:03:44.960 --> 0:03:50.000 everybody else's and I was encouraged. But what I saw 0:03:50.360 --> 0:03:53.640 from the whole group of wide receivers, the whole group, 0:03:53.680 --> 0:03:56.800 and there's it's a versatile group. They all got some 0:03:57.320 --> 0:04:00.680 assets that I think can help and maybe not as 0:04:00.720 --> 0:04:04.720 bad as everybody was expected. Right, If Reggie Jackson is 0:04:04.760 --> 0:04:08.800 mister October, then Byron Jones is mister training Camp because 0:04:08.880 --> 0:04:10.880 we saw last year what he was able to do 0:04:11.360 --> 0:04:13.280 and we all thought he was off and running. I 0:04:13.320 --> 0:04:16.880 think the transition to cornerback has gone very smoothly for 0:04:17.000 --> 0:04:19.440 him right now. We've seen him be able to make 0:04:19.480 --> 0:04:21.560 a couple of different plays. He had a really nice 0:04:21.600 --> 0:04:23.800 play yesterday in the one on one period where he 0:04:23.880 --> 0:04:26.680 was able uh Lance Lenora tried to hit him on 0:04:26.720 --> 0:04:29.240 a double move and there was some separation there. And 0:04:29.720 --> 0:04:31.520 the way that Byron Jones was able to play the 0:04:31.520 --> 0:04:34.080 ball with his off hand the day before he had 0:04:34.120 --> 0:04:38.160 the interception, so he looks very comfortable. I never thought 0:04:38.200 --> 0:04:40.320 i'd see a day where Cole Beasley would convert a 0:04:40.360 --> 0:04:43.359 third down playing as a wide outside receiver. I always 0:04:43.400 --> 0:04:45.680 thought his work was best in the slot, but we 0:04:45.760 --> 0:04:49.960 saw that a little bit yesterday against a Woozier. So yeah, 0:04:50.040 --> 0:04:54.040 it's there's there's been there's questions. We're a week into it. 0:04:54.080 --> 0:04:56.000 You got two more weeks to really kind of figure 0:04:56.040 --> 0:04:58.440 some other things out. But I think for the most part, 0:04:58.520 --> 0:05:00.960 some of the positions, like Mickey was talking about, you 0:05:01.000 --> 0:05:03.919 know what's gonna happen at the swing tackle, you know 0:05:03.960 --> 0:05:06.599 what's gonna happen at wide receiver. I think for the 0:05:06.640 --> 0:05:08.640 most part, things are kind of running on the tracks 0:05:08.720 --> 0:05:12.279 right now. It doesn't like anything is is really going where. 0:05:12.320 --> 0:05:14.599 It's like, boy that that group is at a hole 0:05:15.160 --> 0:05:17.800 is not looking at I mean, Thompson's making plays. We 0:05:17.880 --> 0:05:21.400 talked about Beasley's making plays. Alan Hearns is making plays 0:05:21.440 --> 0:05:23.760 out here. So I think it boats pretty well because 0:05:23.800 --> 0:05:26.040 we all have a pretty high opinion of what the secondary, 0:05:26.240 --> 0:05:28.640 the young secondary can do, and some of these guys 0:05:28.640 --> 0:05:31.560 are making some plays. I thought Dak Prescott had a 0:05:31.600 --> 0:05:33.760 nice day on his twenty fifth birthday. It was his 0:05:33.839 --> 0:05:37.000 birthday as he was serenaded by the crowd before practice. 0:05:37.600 --> 0:05:40.039 You mentioned Alan Hearns. He made some plays yesterday. Cole 0:05:40.080 --> 0:05:44.120 Beasley has been outstanding the first couple of padded practices, 0:05:44.160 --> 0:05:46.960 and it's you know, through the first week, it's always 0:05:46.960 --> 0:05:50.000 easier to see what the receivers are doing, even usually 0:05:50.040 --> 0:05:52.800 before the pads come on. The fact that he's been 0:05:52.880 --> 0:05:54.840 running all over the place and has been lining up 0:05:54.880 --> 0:05:57.520 everywhere and doing some different things and still being effective. 0:05:57.880 --> 0:06:00.200 I think it's really impressive. And you mentioned what he 0:06:00.200 --> 0:06:01.880 put on the movie. Put on a Woozier. That was 0:06:01.880 --> 0:06:04.799 a realistic route for that drive because it was about 0:06:04.839 --> 0:06:08.159 three seconds ball out of Dak's hand, quick stutter step, 0:06:08.200 --> 0:06:10.960 move inside and he shook the best corner on the team. 0:06:11.040 --> 0:06:12.800 Third and three play, you know, and you've got to 0:06:12.839 --> 0:06:16.040 win on the outside and Prescott. It's funny because when 0:06:16.080 --> 0:06:18.200 you watched the throw, he knew exactly where he was 0:06:18.200 --> 0:06:21.280 throwing the football. He did not he did not think about, Okay, 0:06:21.320 --> 0:06:23.000 it's it's third down. Who am I going to get 0:06:23.040 --> 0:06:25.400 going here? He knew that he could throw the ball inside, 0:06:25.600 --> 0:06:28.360 and Beasley's been pretty damn near automatic with on the 0:06:28.360 --> 0:06:30.880 fault except when they miss him. It's not it's not 0:06:30.960 --> 0:06:33.000 now on the flip side of that, though, we talk 0:06:33.040 --> 0:06:35.880 about the wide receivers, and maybe it's one of your questions, 0:06:35.920 --> 0:06:38.200 but I thought it was a really rough day for 0:06:38.920 --> 0:06:41.760 Michael Gallup. Yeah, and at the end of practice, even 0:06:41.760 --> 0:06:45.440 when they're running air. You tend to see receivers when 0:06:45.440 --> 0:06:49.320 they're really not feeling it confidence wise. They fight the ball. 0:06:49.480 --> 0:06:51.680 They're fighting it that like, you know, my hands and 0:06:51.720 --> 0:06:53.720 my hands in the right place and all that, and 0:06:53.920 --> 0:06:55.920 I feel like that. You know, He's had some really 0:06:55.960 --> 0:06:58.640 some good moments, but yesterday was one of those days 0:06:58.640 --> 0:07:01.800 where he was probably afterward he was kind of thinking, Man, 0:07:01.880 --> 0:07:03.720 I just wish I could have had that practice back, 0:07:03.760 --> 0:07:06.200 because he did have some some drops that, you know, 0:07:06.279 --> 0:07:08.480 and one of the it started really in the one 0:07:08.480 --> 0:07:11.680 on one drill. He runs a beautiful route to separate 0:07:11.720 --> 0:07:14.520 on a slam. I mean, it's textbook how he gets 0:07:14.560 --> 0:07:16.960 to defend her out of the way and now he's inside. 0:07:17.040 --> 0:07:19.120 All you have to do is finish, and that kind 0:07:19.160 --> 0:07:21.320 of started the snowball rolling down the hill and he 0:07:21.360 --> 0:07:23.440 just could not quite get the snowball to stop. He 0:07:23.480 --> 0:07:24.920 had a day in mini camp where he had some 0:07:25.000 --> 0:07:27.040 drops too, and it's just about finishing plays. And I 0:07:27.040 --> 0:07:28.600 talked to him afterwards and I said, are you are 0:07:28.640 --> 0:07:32.080 you thinking about yards after catch early? And he said, 0:07:32.080 --> 0:07:34.360 I'm just I think I've got it. You know, he's 0:07:34.400 --> 0:07:37.920 thinking about the next move more than finishing the play 0:07:37.960 --> 0:07:39.720 and maybe that's a that's a rookie thing. He has 0:07:39.720 --> 0:07:42.320 a ton of talent and we saw him absolutely padded 0:07:42.320 --> 0:07:45.080 practice day. He had a good day. We had it over. 0:07:45.360 --> 0:07:48.040 They headed over there after when you were talking to him, 0:07:48.240 --> 0:07:50.360 and and uh, that was one of the most impressive 0:07:50.360 --> 0:07:53.720 things about him. What a stand up guy, bad practice 0:07:54.000 --> 0:07:57.480 and he he was accountable. He was And there's a 0:07:57.480 --> 0:07:59.760 lot you know there we've thrown. You know, I always 0:07:59.800 --> 0:08:01.320 say throw them the deep in the pool. He's one 0:08:01.360 --> 0:08:02.880 of those guys you can do that with, I think. 0:08:02.920 --> 0:08:05.760 And they run that drill where they run a slant 0:08:06.040 --> 0:08:08.560 against air. They catch the ball and they're supposed to 0:08:08.560 --> 0:08:11.840 turn up field, and then there's two guys there with 0:08:11.960 --> 0:08:14.040 the blocking pads and they're hitting them. You got to 0:08:14.120 --> 0:08:16.920 run through and you know, maybe he's you know, you 0:08:16.960 --> 0:08:19.440 start doing that and you're getting anxious to turn up 0:08:19.440 --> 0:08:23.360 and it's like the ball first you could see, you know, 0:08:23.400 --> 0:08:27.240 and not that I'm the wide receiver whisper, but you 0:08:27.240 --> 0:08:30.400 could tell when guys are are by the way their 0:08:30.400 --> 0:08:32.720 hands when it looks like say a lot of these guys, 0:08:32.960 --> 0:08:36.480 you know, Alan Hurns makes some really natural looking plays 0:08:36.360 --> 0:08:39.160 in his hand and gallop is. We've seen him make plays. 0:08:39.200 --> 0:08:41.920 I'm not saying he doesn't make plays, but when you're 0:08:42.240 --> 0:08:45.040 when you're lunging at the ball, when you're lunging at 0:08:45.080 --> 0:08:46.920 it that you know, I was like, oh man, he 0:08:47.080 --> 0:08:49.240 is fighting it bad right now. You know, he's fighting 0:08:49.240 --> 0:08:51.439 it because he wants to And then and it kind 0:08:51.440 --> 0:08:53.240 of double catch, the ball kind of bounces in his 0:08:53.240 --> 0:08:55.760 hands a little bit. You know, Nervousness is not part 0:08:55.800 --> 0:08:57.880 of the voca. I don't think. I don't think it's nervousness. 0:08:57.960 --> 0:09:00.439 I just think he had one of those days where 0:09:00.480 --> 0:09:02.640 you know, he shot sixty four the first day and 0:09:02.679 --> 0:09:06.000 then shot seventy eight the next days of confidence, maybe 0:09:06.000 --> 0:09:08.040 a little bit he had. He had such a good, 0:09:08.080 --> 0:09:11.520 comfortable practice, caught everything, you know, made you know, great 0:09:11.600 --> 0:09:15.560 routes inside. But I focus, you know, and those jobs 0:09:15.559 --> 0:09:17.800 to catch the football. But one of the hardest things 0:09:17.800 --> 0:09:19.120 to do for a young guy in this league is 0:09:19.160 --> 0:09:21.320 separate and he and that's one of the things he 0:09:21.440 --> 0:09:24.400 can do. And in that slant that he ran, I 0:09:24.400 --> 0:09:27.560 mean he spun that. Who he was on? Oh who 0:09:27.600 --> 0:09:30.120 is he running against? You tell about him? One on one? Yeah, 0:09:30.160 --> 0:09:31.880 the one on one. Think it was a lumba. It 0:09:31.960 --> 0:09:33.640 might have been a lumba. It might have been Alma, 0:09:33.720 --> 0:09:36.560 You're absolutely right, Well, what did you any tank you had? Well, 0:09:36.760 --> 0:09:38.719 what I was going to say, and I mentioned that 0:09:38.840 --> 0:09:42.520 Michael Gallup was accountable, okay from from the car wash 0:09:42.679 --> 0:09:46.439 last night, Jerry Jones. Uh, we were not able to 0:09:46.480 --> 0:09:49.040 ask any questions about the anthem, which I was perfectly 0:09:49.320 --> 0:09:51.840 good with because I didn't want to ask any someone 0:09:51.920 --> 0:09:54.600 down the dial wasn't perfectly okay with that, and uh, 0:09:54.960 --> 0:09:57.480 And apparently the NFL has said that they don't want 0:09:57.520 --> 0:10:00.480 any want any NFL personnel talking about it, and it 0:10:00.640 --> 0:10:02.959 is a you know, they had meetings on Friday, the 0:10:03.040 --> 0:10:05.640 owners and the players and so this is a very 0:10:05.720 --> 0:10:07.959 sensitive time as far as that goes. And so that's 0:10:08.240 --> 0:10:11.360 I think it's understandable myself. But I was able to 0:10:11.440 --> 0:10:15.000 ask Jerry about Dez Bryant and he's surprised that he 0:10:15.080 --> 0:10:19.120 hadn't hooked on with another team. But after and he 0:10:19.240 --> 0:10:22.319 brought it up himself after what happened on Friday on 0:10:22.440 --> 0:10:28.720 Twitter and so forth. I mentioned the word accountable here 0:10:29.080 --> 0:10:31.400 and I'm said to him that I just love the 0:10:31.480 --> 0:10:35.040 way Sean Lee handled that thing. And he agreed, and 0:10:35.200 --> 0:10:39.320 basically Jerry said, to wrap up his comments on Dez 0:10:39.520 --> 0:10:42.280 and talking about the whole thing, is it was time 0:10:42.320 --> 0:10:44.640 to move on. Yeah, basically, And you know what, I 0:10:44.760 --> 0:10:47.360 like what he said about Sean Lee. He said, well, 0:10:48.040 --> 0:10:50.880 that's the way he deals with the team head on. 0:10:51.400 --> 0:10:53.559 He doesn't pull any punches when he's dealing with the 0:10:53.640 --> 0:10:56.120 players in the locker room, when he's dealing with the coaches, 0:10:56.400 --> 0:10:58.839 he will speak his mind like that and he doesn't 0:10:58.920 --> 0:11:01.920 mince words. And you know what, good on him it was. 0:11:02.120 --> 0:11:04.000 But were you a little surprised that he was that 0:11:04.280 --> 0:11:06.839 blunt because because I don't think we've ever I've never 0:11:06.960 --> 0:11:10.640 heard him that, not that he missed his words publicly. Yeah, 0:11:10.920 --> 0:11:14.360 but I think he's he's pretty pragmatic throughout his career. 0:11:14.559 --> 0:11:17.280 He was pragmatic on that too. He was he was 0:11:17.559 --> 0:11:21.679 po what was happening and absolutely was It's another yea. 0:11:25.160 --> 0:11:28.240 And I think he found out about it earlier. And 0:11:28.320 --> 0:11:30.600 you know, he wasn't practicing right day, and he had 0:11:30.760 --> 0:11:34.280 he had left the practice field earlier with us helmet on, 0:11:34.440 --> 0:11:37.080 but he was he was obviously was not injured or anything. 0:11:37.720 --> 0:11:40.400 He left and came back trying to say it was prepared. 0:11:40.520 --> 0:11:43.800 I think maybe someone told him about it, because the 0:11:43.880 --> 0:11:47.640 whole thing happened while practice. Travis had no idea, right, 0:11:48.000 --> 0:11:51.000 but but the whole thing happened while practice was starting, 0:11:51.160 --> 0:11:53.800 and so there was no way that anyone And you know, 0:11:54.760 --> 0:11:56.880 Sean Lee's not a guy who's on Twitter all the time. 0:11:58.000 --> 0:11:59.760 He got it. He got a heads up from somebody. Yeah, 0:11:59.800 --> 0:12:02.360 he taking that practice. So I think what happened was 0:12:02.480 --> 0:12:04.760 he went off the field check what was going on, 0:12:04.920 --> 0:12:07.959 and came back on the field. He and Steven Jones 0:12:08.000 --> 0:12:12.160 were talking towards the end of practice, uh, together and uh, 0:12:12.760 --> 0:12:15.800 I thought Steven handled it great too as far as 0:12:16.080 --> 0:12:18.640 what he said, and the whole thing should never have happened. 0:12:18.720 --> 0:12:23.760 It always because of an inaccurate quote trolling Dez on Twitter. 0:12:23.880 --> 0:12:26.760 It put doesn't a tough I mean, wouldn't have reacted 0:12:26.840 --> 0:12:29.240 that way if the full quote had come out. Dez 0:12:29.360 --> 0:12:31.640 needs to get into a camp. Yeah yeah, and you know, 0:12:32.280 --> 0:12:35.240 I think, you know, for Jerry Jones's sake, for Sean 0:12:35.360 --> 0:12:38.079 Lee's sake, for Dez Bryant's sake, he needs to get 0:12:38.120 --> 0:12:40.880 into a camp and focus on being with a team 0:12:41.000 --> 0:12:43.199 and being the best he can at that with with 0:12:43.360 --> 0:12:46.280 that team because the more that he sits out, the more. 0:12:46.360 --> 0:12:48.360 I mean, Dez is one of those guys we all know, 0:12:48.440 --> 0:12:51.400 a very passionate guy. But you can draw Dez off sides, 0:12:51.720 --> 0:12:54.480 you know, and you're right, the the inaccuracy of a 0:12:54.600 --> 0:12:57.439 quote drew him off side, just like a good Dan 0:12:57.559 --> 0:13:00.040 Marino hard count. He got everybody to jump on a 0:13:00.160 --> 0:13:02.800 play and and you know, so you know Dez is, 0:13:03.160 --> 0:13:04.880 but he he does. He needs to get with a 0:13:04.920 --> 0:13:07.079 team right now. He needs to do it for our 0:13:07.120 --> 0:13:09.880 sake too. Yeah. Yeah, I mean NFL Network shows up 0:13:09.920 --> 0:13:12.240 here and they're doing live things and they're doing it 0:13:12.320 --> 0:13:14.400 about Dez, and it's like you got to come all 0:13:14.440 --> 0:13:17.960 the way because the longer he goes without an opportunity, 0:13:18.160 --> 0:13:21.839 the more speculation of why what went wrong here and then? 0:13:22.000 --> 0:13:25.160 And that's what leads to comments and that maybe taken 0:13:25.200 --> 0:13:27.000 out of context, and then he gets more upset. Well, 0:13:27.080 --> 0:13:29.040 they need to go ask somebody else why haven't they 0:13:29.080 --> 0:13:33.120 signed him? So, uh, what do you think that what 0:13:33.280 --> 0:13:36.480 he did on Friday? What on social media? What does 0:13:36.559 --> 0:13:39.200 did how? How does how do other day drew us 0:13:39.240 --> 0:13:41.520 off sides? We're now talking about it? Yeah, how do 0:13:41.640 --> 0:13:44.199 other NFL teams look at that. I don't think I 0:13:44.480 --> 0:13:47.600 reached out honestly to John Dorsey from the Cleveland Browns. 0:13:47.679 --> 0:13:51.280 John and I have said this before. Speculation speculation, Yeah, 0:13:51.280 --> 0:13:54.559 and and John, I don't think John's John's okay, John 0:13:54.679 --> 0:13:57.640 was John. John's trying to find players. That's his idea. 0:13:57.720 --> 0:13:59.640 He goes, I'm just trying to find guys. John is 0:13:59.679 --> 0:14:02.320 a guy that's never been afraid to take a character risk. 0:14:02.480 --> 0:14:05.040 Not to say that as a characterist, but you have 0:14:05.200 --> 0:14:07.600 maybe a potential for some things in the locker room. 0:14:07.600 --> 0:14:10.040 And I don't think that affects him at all. I 0:14:10.040 --> 0:14:11.960 don't think it affects a guy like Sean Payton down 0:14:12.000 --> 0:14:14.280 in New Orleans, because he knows what kind of guy 0:14:14.440 --> 0:14:17.960 does Brian is. You know, he Sean follows the Cowboys's. 0:14:18.120 --> 0:14:20.360 He has a relationship with Jerry and Stephen Jones, and 0:14:20.440 --> 0:14:23.240 it might be a situation where they've had some conversations like, 0:14:23.640 --> 0:14:25.880 you know, Jerry, what about des Briant and you know. 0:14:25.960 --> 0:14:27.720 And then I think that the Saints are a team 0:14:27.800 --> 0:14:29.960 that are interested. I think there's teams out there they're interested. 0:14:30.280 --> 0:14:33.080 I just think teams are in this evaluation period. You 0:14:33.160 --> 0:14:35.440 just said it built We're in week one. Now get 0:14:35.480 --> 0:14:38.280 through week two, maybe a preseason game. Then you look 0:14:38.320 --> 0:14:40.560 at your team a different way and you say, we're 0:14:40.680 --> 0:14:43.680 not very good here, We're not very good here. And 0:14:43.840 --> 0:14:47.480 that's where you add an Eric Read or a Dez 0:14:47.600 --> 0:14:50.240 Bryant or somebody to your team that's a veteran player 0:14:50.280 --> 0:14:52.400 to try and help. You know, if Dez will listen 0:14:52.480 --> 0:14:55.520 to what Sean Lee said, Okay, take the emotion out 0:14:55.560 --> 0:14:57.200 of it, sure, and listen to what he said. He 0:14:57.640 --> 0:15:00.800 was said he needed to be more countable and in 0:15:00.920 --> 0:15:04.400 Daz's best interest going forward, and basically what he was 0:15:04.480 --> 0:15:07.040 saying and does best interest going forward, he needs to 0:15:07.120 --> 0:15:10.720 be more accountable and that means with whatever team he 0:15:10.800 --> 0:15:14.000 goes to, that's what he needs to see. This is 0:15:14.120 --> 0:15:18.160 you know what with him? Sorry, I think he needs 0:15:18.200 --> 0:15:21.600 to go someplace where he's not comfortable because I think 0:15:21.720 --> 0:15:26.440 he will mind himself. He won't feel like he has 0:15:26.520 --> 0:15:29.880 the cash aid to speak out. I think you'll see 0:15:29.920 --> 0:15:34.000 a quieter Dez, a more attentive about your business. If 0:15:34.040 --> 0:15:37.000 you think about when Terrell Owens came to the Cowboys, 0:15:37.400 --> 0:15:41.880 you know that first year not bad, right, second year okay, 0:15:42.560 --> 0:15:45.200 then he got his money and he got comfortable, and 0:15:45.280 --> 0:15:48.120 then he got mouthy, and then things went downhill. And 0:15:48.200 --> 0:15:53.000 I think Dez initially will not cause problems with another team. 0:15:53.440 --> 0:15:56.120 Can I have something real quick? Bill? Guys in comment 0:15:56.160 --> 0:15:57.880 if you want, you don't have to, but I'll ask 0:15:57.960 --> 0:16:01.400 the question, do you worry about after when Dez attacks, 0:16:01.560 --> 0:16:04.160 say a Scott Linahan about the offense and you know, 0:16:04.280 --> 0:16:07.640 calls it some things. Do you worry about somebody in 0:16:07.680 --> 0:16:11.080 the organization, off the record or whatever, telling one of 0:16:11.120 --> 0:16:15.720 these national media guys that Peter King, Pete Priscot, you know, 0:16:17.040 --> 0:16:19.400 Adam Schefter, one of those guys the real reason why 0:16:19.520 --> 0:16:22.600 Dez Bryant didn't line up at all these positions because 0:16:22.680 --> 0:16:25.720 of this, this, this, and this. Then it becomes more 0:16:25.800 --> 0:16:29.520 of a Then it looks bad, even looks worse for Dez. 0:16:29.760 --> 0:16:33.240 That okay, we wanted to play him at different positions, 0:16:33.840 --> 0:16:36.320 but we couldn't play him at different positions because he 0:16:36.600 --> 0:16:41.000 was incapable of learning. He didn't understand the playbook. You know, 0:16:41.200 --> 0:16:43.000 when you tried to move him around, it was a 0:16:43.080 --> 0:16:45.600 struggle for him. You had to you had to tailor 0:16:45.720 --> 0:16:48.600 the game plan for him. See that's where I worry about, 0:16:49.160 --> 0:16:52.400 you know, somebody, somebody kind of saddling up with one 0:16:52.440 --> 0:16:54.280 of these guys and saying, let me give you the 0:16:54.360 --> 0:16:56.880 real reason why Dez Bryant, we couldn't line him up 0:16:56.880 --> 0:16:59.720 in different spots. Well, that's what. I don't want that 0:17:00.040 --> 0:17:01.920 hard to come out because I think that could get 0:17:02.280 --> 0:17:04.760 nasty too. Here's the other thing that can happen on 0:17:04.920 --> 0:17:09.600 this team is if you get people defending one side 0:17:10.160 --> 0:17:13.800 and posed to the other, and you start putting a 0:17:13.920 --> 0:17:17.240 fraction on this fracture on this team, right that that's 0:17:17.280 --> 0:17:20.200 what Jason Garrett and this coaching staff has to guard 0:17:20.200 --> 0:17:23.680 against and be delirium. Yeah, and that's why, and that's 0:17:23.720 --> 0:17:27.160 why they've got a policy basically focusing on the task 0:17:27.240 --> 0:17:31.440 at hand and uh forgetting about this outside noise. I 0:17:31.480 --> 0:17:33.040 do think that is gonna end up with the team though, 0:17:33.080 --> 0:17:35.440 I really do, because because I hate to say, injuries 0:17:35.480 --> 0:17:38.440 are going to happen across the league, and yeah, I do. 0:17:38.600 --> 0:17:41.399 I don't disagree with you all. Yeah, And I just 0:17:41.560 --> 0:17:45.560 worry about I worry about the backlash of when Dez 0:17:45.720 --> 0:17:50.440 is so so violent with his with his words, and 0:17:50.560 --> 0:17:53.320 I worry worry about somebody saying someone takes the high 0:17:53.400 --> 0:17:57.480 road and on the to the media. But then underside 0:17:57.480 --> 0:17:59.680 of it is, hey, let me tell you what I 0:17:59.760 --> 0:18:02.080 really want to tell you here. That's what I worry 0:18:02.119 --> 0:18:03.880 about with that said, I don't want him to get 0:18:04.200 --> 0:18:07.880 drug through the mud, you know, for people saying, well, 0:18:07.960 --> 0:18:10.680 des can't learn, that's his biggest problem. He can't know that. 0:18:10.760 --> 0:18:12.840 I'm just saying, I don't want that to be the 0:18:12.920 --> 0:18:15.720 one thing that you know that people say that's you know, 0:18:15.800 --> 0:18:17.600 could be the issue. All they need to do is 0:18:17.680 --> 0:18:20.080 sign them to a contract and put a clause we 0:18:20.240 --> 0:18:24.320 get your phone. Just take his phone away from him. 0:18:24.400 --> 0:18:28.080 Like he doesn't say those things out loud, he does 0:18:28.160 --> 0:18:31.000 it on Twitter that Jason Witten column, right, yes, right, 0:18:31.240 --> 0:18:34.720 take his phone? Is that same the same day that 0:18:35.720 --> 0:18:38.159 right Garrett Garrett stands up there and says, we have 0:18:38.320 --> 0:18:40.960 no social media policy. We like our guys been able 0:18:41.000 --> 0:18:42.639 to do what they want to do and then all 0:18:42.720 --> 0:18:45.280 that just take the phone away.
