Speaker 1: and Dave ready to bring it. So let's start off

33
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:48,480
Speaker 1: talking about OTAs first week. We did get to see

34
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:52,400
Speaker 1: practice yesterday, Let's talk about the ones that did not

35
00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:56,160
Speaker 1: get to practice. Malie Collins out, you know, recovering from

36
00:01:56,200 --> 00:02:00,720
Speaker 1: the injury, David Irving, they decided to see that kind

37
00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:04,000
Speaker 1: of Yeah, I didn't really quite get the reason why.

38
00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:07,440
Speaker 1: Trying to get in physical condition. I mean, I'm glad

39
00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:10,040
Speaker 1: you brought that up. Yeah, well, okay, so Belle Collins,

40
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:14,240
Speaker 1: Terrence Williams or hurt. Sean Lee is Sean Lee, and

41
00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:17,000
Speaker 1: he's he's kind of Tony Romo of the modern era

42
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:18,880
Speaker 1: now is like you don't need to be out there.

43
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:22,000
Speaker 1: We don't need to riskue and DeMarcus Lawrence, I think

44
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:23,840
Speaker 1: is kind of the same thing as like whatever, you

45
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:29,760
Speaker 1: stay safe. Uh David Irving, though, I mean Garrett basically

46
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:33,640
Speaker 1: called him fat yesterday. I mean right, yeah, he I

47
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:35,760
Speaker 1: mean he said, well, that's the thing, like we get

48
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:37,600
Speaker 1: to see these players and we don't. I don't need

49
00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:40,680
Speaker 1: Jason Garrett to tell me that right now he's too fat?

50
00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:45,600
Speaker 1: Thank you? Bill Um. Yeah, I thought he was. He

51
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:49,320
Speaker 1: came back a little, you know, chunkier for a reason. Well,

52
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:53,399
Speaker 1: I mean he would be a good one, husky importly awards,

53
00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:56,560
Speaker 1: we should three play. You're right, I mean, I'm not

54
00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:59,360
Speaker 1: trying to criticize a pro athlete for being overweight. I

55
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:01,000
Speaker 1: would not like out of something because he's got an

56
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:04,920
Speaker 1: as Yeah, the drops are coming fast and curious today. No,

57
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:07,160
Speaker 1: but I mean, you know, usual when Jason Garrett gets

58
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:09,320
Speaker 1: up there and he's like, well he's he's got a foot,

59
00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:12,080
Speaker 1: uh he you know something, he's dealing with something, blah

60
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:15,360
Speaker 1: blah blah. But Jason Garrett was just like he's working

61
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:18,320
Speaker 1: his way back into shape, which you know, the offseason

62
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:22,160
Speaker 1: program started a month ago, and Captain's workhouse started before that,

63
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:25,120
Speaker 1: and David Irvings has been here for at least part

64
00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:27,079
Speaker 1: of that, if not the whole thing, Like he's been

65
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:32,119
Speaker 1: in the building since March, I would guess. So it's interesting,

66
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:35,400
Speaker 1: interesting that that's a problem for him. And you know,

67
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:39,440
Speaker 1: Garrett is very calculated in his words, so for him

68
00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:41,960
Speaker 1: to say something like that, yeah, kind of like a

69
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:45,480
Speaker 1: little spur, like, Hey, I'm not super thrilled that you

70
00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:48,000
Speaker 1: can't practice right now, big guy. That's kind of how

71
00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:50,880
Speaker 1: I took it. Probably probably no different than than what

72
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:53,320
Speaker 1: it's always been in years past. You know, I say

73
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:56,360
Speaker 1: this all the time. We see guys working out a

74
00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:58,160
Speaker 1: little bit, you know, through the windows, we see him

75
00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:00,280
Speaker 1: in the training table. We never had that before Forward

76
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:02,520
Speaker 1: Valley Ranch, and so I'm sure there were plenty of

77
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:05,880
Speaker 1: guys that came in in March April May and you're like, uh,

78
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:09,080
Speaker 1: looks a little different or bigger than he did or whatever.

79
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:12,040
Speaker 1: We're just getting to see them more, see them practice more. Yeah,

80
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 1: this is a normal you know transition for for you

81
00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:19,200
Speaker 1: know when these players in the offseason and how they

82
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:22,320
Speaker 1: get their bodies ready to play. Now, Terrence Williams, he

83
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:25,080
Speaker 1: was out with an injury, but he did get arrested

84
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:27,880
Speaker 1: this past weekend, and we don't need to get into

85
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:31,560
Speaker 1: all the details. Lead right there, Nick, you wrote a

86
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:34,400
Speaker 1: story about it. Jason Garrett didn't really comment much on

87
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:37,239
Speaker 1: it yesterday, kind of saying that the team is still

88
00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:40,040
Speaker 1: investigating the case, but a lot of fans want to know.

89
00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:43,080
Speaker 1: Is this something that would lead to the team possibly

90
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:48,120
Speaker 1: cutting him? Um, I can't get over the delivery right there,

91
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:52,800
Speaker 1: just held out did get arrested. It's it's perfect. It's

92
00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:55,280
Speaker 1: the it's the modern age, you know. I you know,

93
00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:58,400
Speaker 1: I like sometimes I'm not criticizing the boss, but like

94
00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:01,039
Speaker 1: Derek all act like just because we haven't talked about

95
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:03,200
Speaker 1: it on the show means like nobody knows about it,

96
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:05,680
Speaker 1: you know. But I mean it's Thursday. He got arrested

97
00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:08,520
Speaker 1: on Saturday. Everybody knows what happened to him. So she

98
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:11,400
Speaker 1: asked me, is he gonna people want to know? I

99
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:13,920
Speaker 1: get a lot of questions, is this a reason that

100
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:18,360
Speaker 1: I could possibly lead to the team cutting him? Actually?

101
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:20,920
Speaker 1: I think right now, as it stands, and of course

102
00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:23,400
Speaker 1: things can also change, and we've seen actually in the

103
00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:25,840
Speaker 1: last year that the commissioner will do his own thing

104
00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:30,240
Speaker 1: when it comes to suspension. So so yeah, you know

105
00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:32,800
Speaker 1: he's got his own agenda there, which is fine, he's

106
00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:37,120
Speaker 1: the commission I don't think it will because I don't

107
00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:41,640
Speaker 1: think he's gonna get suspended. If he gets suspended by

108
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:46,880
Speaker 1: the NFL, that affects his guarantees. The guarantees affect how

109
00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:49,280
Speaker 1: important his role is and how much you want to

110
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:52,280
Speaker 1: keep him on the team. So if that happens, that's

111
00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:55,279
Speaker 1: a domino that will start to change some other things.

112
00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:58,039
Speaker 1: As it stands. Right now, he's a guy that's coming

113
00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:01,640
Speaker 1: off of a foot injury. He broken foot. Um, he'll

114
00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:04,080
Speaker 1: he should be able to play, I would. I would

115
00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:06,719
Speaker 1: think he'd be ready at some point in training camp,

116
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:11,120
Speaker 1: if not the start, then earlier, I mean, broken enough,

117
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:13,800
Speaker 1: I would. I would think the goal would be to

118
00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:16,080
Speaker 1: maybe get him in for that third preseason game, and

119
00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:17,920
Speaker 1: you know that that might be a decent goal. If

120
00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:21,920
Speaker 1: not that this the regular season opener, he's still one

121
00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:24,800
Speaker 1: of your top receivers on the team. And then the

122
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:28,719
Speaker 1: injury and the arrest really don't affect that right now. Yeah,

123
00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:31,200
Speaker 1: there's not a lot of track record that suggests that

124
00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:33,440
Speaker 1: anything's going to happen to him. I mean, Nolan Carroll

125
00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:36,600
Speaker 1: actually got hit for DWI this time last year, which

126
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:40,280
Speaker 1: Terrence did not. That was not the charge and he

127
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:44,159
Speaker 1: wasn't suspended. And then you know the thing I feel like,

128
00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:46,080
Speaker 1: and I know we've talked about it, but people forget

129
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:48,479
Speaker 1: this is like the way terrence is deal is structured

130
00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:51,719
Speaker 1: is not only do you not save any money to

131
00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:54,839
Speaker 1: cut him, but you have to. I mean you're basically

132
00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:57,440
Speaker 1: you're losing money, Like you're paying money to get rid

133
00:06:57,480 --> 00:07:01,120
Speaker 1: of him, which is dumb when you consider that he's

134
00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:04,320
Speaker 1: your most experienced Cowboys receiver. You've got to be a

135
00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:07,799
Speaker 1: really bad player and or a bad locker room guy.

136
00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:11,320
Speaker 1: And and you know Terrence knows this. I mean, Terrence

137
00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:14,000
Speaker 1: has just been the whipping boy for fans all that,

138
00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:18,040
Speaker 1: you know, I mean, for various reasons. But he's not

139
00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:21,280
Speaker 1: that bad of a player to pay to have him gone.

140
00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:24,120
Speaker 1: There's only been a few guys like that that you're like,

141
00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:26,200
Speaker 1: we gotta get this guy out of here. Yeah he's

142
00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:29,560
Speaker 1: not in that. No, No, not at all. And yeah,

143
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:32,000
Speaker 1: like you I mean, anything could happened, but I'd be surprised.

144
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:34,080
Speaker 1: I would be surprised if anything happened to him on

145
00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:37,480
Speaker 1: a disciplinary front from the NFL. I mean, and I

146
00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:39,960
Speaker 1: would be surprised if he wasn't on this team. Now,

147
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:43,640
Speaker 1: another guy that was highlighted yesterday was Sach Martin. He

148
00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:46,960
Speaker 1: wasn't He didn't practice, and not that he needs to

149
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:51,520
Speaker 1: practice Sack Martin. It is what it is. But again,

150
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:53,800
Speaker 1: the team is trying to figure out the whole contract.

151
00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:56,160
Speaker 1: As far as we know, both the team and SAG

152
00:07:56,640 --> 00:08:01,200
Speaker 1: are wanting him to be here. Loan to what is

153
00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:03,120
Speaker 1: going on with a contract right now. Let Dave take

154
00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:04,960
Speaker 1: this because you had a hot opinion on the on

155
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:07,000
Speaker 1: the field of the day, maybe because it was hot,

156
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:09,040
Speaker 1: but also it was a good hot take. Would you

157
00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:10,960
Speaker 1: talk about how I don't think he should practice at

158
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:14,800
Speaker 1: all or which part I got. I'd say a lot

159
00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:19,120
Speaker 1: of reckless stuff. I know, Oh oh, I was half kidding,

160
00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:21,880
Speaker 1: but I said I wouldn't be surprised if the Cowboys

161
00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:24,160
Speaker 1: kind of were like, yeah, set this out. You know,

162
00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:26,240
Speaker 1: you don't need to be out here. We're working on

163
00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:29,560
Speaker 1: your contract. I mean every time, you know, when I

164
00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:32,240
Speaker 1: think about Zach Martin. I think about Sean Lee. Zach

165
00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:34,280
Speaker 1: Martin was part of the play that tore Shawn Lee's

166
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:38,439
Speaker 1: acl and OTAs in twenty fourteen, certainly wouldn't want something

167
00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:41,800
Speaker 1: like that to happen to Zach, who is arguably the

168
00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:45,280
Speaker 1: best player on this entire team, um, so most consistent. Probably,

169
00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:48,240
Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't I don't think the Cowboys

170
00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:50,680
Speaker 1: actually said that to him, But like I doubt anybody's

171
00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:52,960
Speaker 1: losing a ton of sleep that he's not out there. Yeah,

172
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:56,600
Speaker 1: and just kind of a weird ironic move, I guess,

173
00:08:56,640 --> 00:09:00,840
Speaker 1: maybe just coincidence. But you know, we didn't exact anybody

174
00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:05,240
Speaker 1: to be in that locker at the Star. In the

175
00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:08,000
Speaker 1: locker room, they kind of you know, it's just all

176
00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:11,040
Speaker 1: Jason Garrett here where you know, the the corners of

177
00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:14,880
Speaker 1: the locker room or your cornerstones of the team. And

178
00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:18,600
Speaker 1: you know, it was Deaz, it was it was Romo,

179
00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:24,320
Speaker 1: it was Fatten, okay, but whatever, Tyrman, Smith, Dan Bailey

180
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:27,920
Speaker 1: and whitn Andes of course had had this one spot there,

181
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:32,080
Speaker 1: um and now with him gone, Zach Martin moved there.

182
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:34,760
Speaker 1: Which the shocking part there is how Martin and Frederick

183
00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:37,600
Speaker 1: are not like side by side. I know, so it

184
00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:40,600
Speaker 1: was zac now Zach Martin's locker and he wasn't there either,

185
00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:43,959
Speaker 1: so but I actually I don't think it's coincidental, and

186
00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:45,520
Speaker 1: I take it as a very good like And I

187
00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:47,760
Speaker 1: don't get the impression people feel this way, but just

188
00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:50,320
Speaker 1: in case you do, like, I just don't think this

189
00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:53,880
Speaker 1: is an acrimonious situation. I mean, I think Zach Martin

190
00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:55,880
Speaker 1: has had conversations with the team about this, Like, I

191
00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:58,160
Speaker 1: don't think they were surprised that he didn't come. I

192
00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:00,599
Speaker 1: don't think this is shock in any way. And I

193
00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:03,280
Speaker 1: don't think there's any bad blood that the best guard

194
00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:06,240
Speaker 1: in football's trying to get his contract, And I think

195
00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:09,280
Speaker 1: that's evidenced by the fact that they did something, you know,

196
00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:13,160
Speaker 1: that gesture of putting him in that locker of mister cowboy,

197
00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:17,400
Speaker 1: mister modern cowboy. At least, I think that says a

198
00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:19,120
Speaker 1: lot of good things. I mean, I think they expect

199
00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:20,520
Speaker 1: him to be here for a long time. I think

200
00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:22,480
Speaker 1: he expects to be here for a long time. The

201
00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:24,959
Speaker 1: fact that he's trying to get his contract situation settled

202
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:27,520
Speaker 1: doesn't change that at all. And this is just another

203
00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:31,720
Speaker 1: time to point out that holdout and this isn't even

204
00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:34,000
Speaker 1: hold out because it's volunteer. It's not a holdout, but

205
00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:37,320
Speaker 1: a lot of people categorize it as that a holdout

206
00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:41,720
Speaker 1: is not a holdout until you start missing significant significant money.

207
00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:44,000
Speaker 1: A game check. Yeah, I mean getting fined here and

208
00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:46,280
Speaker 1: there that. Yeah, that's a big deal when you miss

209
00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:48,920
Speaker 1: a game check. It's just funny how the deals always

210
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:51,880
Speaker 1: tend to happen that Saturday before that first game. I'll

211
00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:54,319
Speaker 1: be which it won't go that far. Well, that's I'm

212
00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:57,199
Speaker 1: interested to see because I you know, talking to people

213
00:10:57,320 --> 00:11:00,320
Speaker 1: around yesterday, like a lot of people think that this

214
00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:03,760
Speaker 1: you know, this action him missing OTAs will be enough

215
00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:06,080
Speaker 1: to get a deal done by June, which i'll or

216
00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:08,600
Speaker 1: you know, by by the end of the offseason program,

217
00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:10,960
Speaker 1: I should say, I'll be interested to see that. And

218
00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:13,120
Speaker 1: if it doesn't happen, I'll be interested to see if

219
00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:17,040
Speaker 1: he misses the mandatory June practices. When when did Lyle

220
00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:20,600
Speaker 1: Collins get his deal? What month? Uh, we were at

221
00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:24,240
Speaker 1: camp August? Yeah? What month did Travis Frederick August? What

222
00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:26,560
Speaker 1: month to Tyrn Smith? Technically I think it was July,

223
00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:29,840
Speaker 1: but it was like July thirtieth, training camp. Yeah, but see,

224
00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:33,760
Speaker 1: I'll play old line. Yeah, I'll be I'll be interested,

225
00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:39,520
Speaker 1: thank you. When they do deals. I wonder though, I

226
00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:43,280
Speaker 1: wonder if they've been talking about doing this dude's freaking

227
00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:46,079
Speaker 1: deal since for like it feels like five years. He

228
00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:48,920
Speaker 1: hasn't even been on the team that long. Um, did

229
00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:51,840
Speaker 1: I get my deal with the Cowboys August? I mean,

230
00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:57,120
Speaker 1: I wonder they do it in Augustus. I wonder if

231
00:11:57,160 --> 00:12:01,360
Speaker 1: this nudge in the right direction will prompt them to

232
00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:03,240
Speaker 1: do it sooner than that, just like, hey, all right,

233
00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:06,240
Speaker 1: let's And I'm not privy to this stuff. I don't

234
00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:09,760
Speaker 1: handle the cap I'm not educated on a high level,

235
00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:13,199
Speaker 1: but I just, I mean, I don't understand why it

236
00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:15,680
Speaker 1: can't get done like this week. I mean, they got

237
00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:18,080
Speaker 1: like ten million in cap space, they got a boatload

238
00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:20,160
Speaker 1: of it coming next year, Like they should be able

239
00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:23,040
Speaker 1: to structure it. Their rookies are signed, so like they

240
00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:27,040
Speaker 1: don't even have to worry about that. I don't really

241
00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:29,400
Speaker 1: understand what the hold up is other than just kind

242
00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:31,880
Speaker 1: of like agreeing on a number, which I feel like

243
00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:33,320
Speaker 1: you should be able to do that in the next

244
00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:36,120
Speaker 1: three or four weeks. Well, I guess we'll wait to

245
00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:39,360
Speaker 1: see when that happens. But in the meantime, yesterday filling

246
00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:42,960
Speaker 1: in for him was Chas Green. So you had Tyren Smith,

247
00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:47,320
Speaker 1: Connor Williams, Travis Frederick Chase, and then Lyle Collins. Ye.

248
00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:51,800
Speaker 1: So Connor Williams fan favorite. Ye. What did you guys

249
00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:56,280
Speaker 1: see from him? I mean, from what you saw, did

250
00:12:56,280 --> 00:13:01,360
Speaker 1: you like his first involvement with the veteran Sea. I mean,

251
00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:03,840
Speaker 1: I think you watch a little bit more practice than me,

252
00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:07,559
Speaker 1: but but I mean I think with him, it's just

253
00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:09,520
Speaker 1: it's at this stage it's not about because you're not

254
00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:11,640
Speaker 1: gonna be able to use the offensive lineman can't do

255
00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:13,680
Speaker 1: what they do, which is push people around. He can't

256
00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:15,200
Speaker 1: do that out here, and if you do, you know,

257
00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:18,600
Speaker 1: guys get hurt. But I think for the most part,

258
00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:21,760
Speaker 1: it's you know, are you lining up where you're supposed

259
00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:23,679
Speaker 1: to be? Are you mentally prepared to do it? And

260
00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:25,960
Speaker 1: I think the dynamic too right, and I think having

261
00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:29,000
Speaker 1: him out there is a good step there. I'm reluctant

262
00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:31,640
Speaker 1: to compare him to Zach because Zach is a four

263
00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:35,599
Speaker 1: time All Pro who at some point I assume is

264
00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:37,640
Speaker 1: gonna be the highest paid guard in the league. But

265
00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:40,960
Speaker 1: He reminds me of Zach in the sense that he's

266
00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:45,040
Speaker 1: so athletic for a guard, and like, that's the funnest

267
00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:47,160
Speaker 1: thing about watching Zack Martin play. I mean, it's fun

268
00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:50,160
Speaker 1: watching him all people, but it's so fun watching him

269
00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:53,440
Speaker 1: in space, Like he's so nimble and agile and like,

270
00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:55,880
Speaker 1: can you know when they run screens, he can get

271
00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:58,319
Speaker 1: out there and take people out of the play. Does

272
00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:00,360
Speaker 1: not look like a big guy moving around, and I

273
00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:03,160
Speaker 1: see that in counter Williams. I'm not saying he's gonna

274
00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:05,520
Speaker 1: be as good as Zach Martin, but he's just he

275
00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:09,079
Speaker 1: does not play football like a hog molly he looks.

276
00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:11,480
Speaker 1: I mean, he's a super athletic dude, and I think

277
00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:14,800
Speaker 1: that aspect of his game just I think could be

278
00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:17,360
Speaker 1: so big for them. And you know, when you're playing

279
00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:20,640
Speaker 1: in shorts, that type of stuff kind of shows stands

280
00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:23,320
Speaker 1: out as like how well he moves and stuff like that. Now,

281
00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:26,640
Speaker 1: today we're gonna try to hit every group on the

282
00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:29,200
Speaker 1: roster of what we saw yesterday how they lined up.

283
00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:33,040
Speaker 1: But before we go into break, let's talk about Ezekiel Elliott.

284
00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:36,040
Speaker 1: I mean, he came back looking a little thinner, slimmed

285
00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:39,560
Speaker 1: down his attitude was great in the locker room. He

286
00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:43,320
Speaker 1: was very spoken in during the practice and he said

287
00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:46,520
Speaker 1: that it came to He's like, well, third year, it's

288
00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:48,760
Speaker 1: kind of the time for me to step up as

289
00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:53,120
Speaker 1: a leader. While we're your reactions from this Ezekiel Elliott

290
00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:55,720
Speaker 1: that we saw yesterday to the one that we saw

291
00:14:55,760 --> 00:15:00,000
Speaker 1: at this time last year. For me, the Ezekiel Elliott

292
00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:05,400
Speaker 1: that we see in the locker room has always been professional.

293
00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:07,360
Speaker 1: Maybe not the time when they were doing spitballs with

294
00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:09,400
Speaker 1: him and Dak, but for the most part, for the

295
00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:13,000
Speaker 1: most part they He's always been a guy that kind

296
00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:15,520
Speaker 1: of gets that. I think being at Ohio State, knowing that,

297
00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:18,960
Speaker 1: you know, being the star. Even he stood up in

298
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:21,800
Speaker 1: front of you know, his locker or someplace in the

299
00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:24,360
Speaker 1: locker room after you know, last year when he came

300
00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:27,680
Speaker 1: back from suspension, answers the questions. He doesn't love it.

301
00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:29,440
Speaker 1: It's okay, he doesn't have to love it, but he

302
00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:31,600
Speaker 1: does his job. And I'd rather a guy to stand

303
00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:33,760
Speaker 1: up there and say, hey, I'll face the music, and

304
00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:37,000
Speaker 1: he does that. So I And as far as being

305
00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:40,040
Speaker 1: a leader, I think I think him and Dak have

306
00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:42,680
Speaker 1: talked about this. They have to and say, we've got

307
00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:44,480
Speaker 1: to do it, We've got to bring the energy. I

308
00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:46,680
Speaker 1: thought it was a good question surprisingly in the press

309
00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:50,480
Speaker 1: conference yesterday from who asked it about the about the

310
00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:53,520
Speaker 1: the energy that Dez has, Someone's gonna have to replace that.

311
00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:55,560
Speaker 1: And I think that that's gonna be a real important

312
00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:57,520
Speaker 1: thing because there's gonna be dog days of camp when

313
00:15:57,600 --> 00:16:00,640
Speaker 1: it's like, all right, who's bringing it today? Dez always

314
00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:02,920
Speaker 1: did that, and I think that's something that Zeke and

315
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:05,520
Speaker 1: Deck and those guys that are gonna have to do. Yeah.

316
00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:10,160
Speaker 1: And it'll be interesting though, because I feel like everybody

317
00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:12,040
Speaker 1: in the locker room got asked about that yesterday, just

318
00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:15,760
Speaker 1: kind of that. UM I wonder I don't see them

319
00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:17,960
Speaker 1: showing it the same way Dez does. I don't know

320
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:20,440
Speaker 1: if anybody's capable of showing it the way it Dez does.

321
00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:22,880
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, you can't guard me. You can't

322
00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:24,840
Speaker 1: guard me, you can't. I don't know if you're gonna

323
00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:27,760
Speaker 1: hear those outbursts from forty yards away like we were

324
00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:29,880
Speaker 1: used to with Dead. I don't even know you're but

325
00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:34,880
Speaker 1: one of my all time favorite des lines. But Zeke,

326
00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:38,280
Speaker 1: just Zeke just has this intensity about him, and UM,

327
00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:42,400
Speaker 1: I feel like there's a chip on his shoulder there

328
00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:44,360
Speaker 1: and like he's not going to talk about it. He's

329
00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:46,640
Speaker 1: not going to acknowledge it again. I mean, he's very

330
00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:48,880
Speaker 1: professional in the sense that he always talks to us,

331
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:53,640
Speaker 1: but I never feel like it's authentic and it doesn't

332
00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:54,960
Speaker 1: have to be, you know what I mean, Like it's

333
00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:57,080
Speaker 1: a it's a job duty for him. He's just trying

334
00:16:57,080 --> 00:16:59,640
Speaker 1: to get it out of the way. I don't begrudge

335
00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:03,760
Speaker 1: him at but I think Zeke is going to hold

336
00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:05,600
Speaker 1: so much of that away from us, you know what

337
00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:07,199
Speaker 1: I mean, Like he doesn't want to let people in

338
00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:08,960
Speaker 1: on that, but I think it's there. I think there's

339
00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:11,840
Speaker 1: an take it out on the safety. Yeah, absolutely, linebacker

340
00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:14,600
Speaker 1: trying to attack being or just jump over him. We'll see.

341

00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:22,199
Speaker 1: are back on the break. We're gonna talk about the

382
00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:26,880
Speaker 1: white receiver group. Yesterday, Lance lanor Deonta Thompson were lined

383
00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:29,920
Speaker 1: up on the outside with Allen Hurns in the slot.

384
00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:33,959
Speaker 1: Thoughts a first impression of how these guys lined up.

385
00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:36,080
Speaker 1: Lens Lnor, let me tell you this, this is a

386
00:19:36,119 --> 00:19:39,639
Speaker 1: guy that last year and up to today until he

387
00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:42,280
Speaker 1: proves me wrong, I just have not been a fan

388
00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:45,400
Speaker 1: because everything that I remember from last fan of anybody?

389
00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:50,560
Speaker 1: Not true false, absolutely false. I love many people who

390
00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:52,840
Speaker 1: are wait, who are you a fan of many people?

391
00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:59,080
Speaker 1: The topic right now, we're talking about Lance lan More. Okay,

392
00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:03,480
Speaker 1: last year, everything that I saw from him were bad things,

393
00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:07,040
Speaker 1: like drops after drops after drop, tell me wrong, tell

394
00:20:07,119 --> 00:20:09,760
Speaker 1: me wrong? Well, no, no, he would no, he couldn't

395
00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:12,480
Speaker 1: return punts. He had a he had a he had

396
00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:15,240
Speaker 1: a really it's you know what. He wasn't even that

397
00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:18,720
Speaker 1: bad in the preseason, but he got training camp and

398
00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:20,879
Speaker 1: everything that we saw in He got a lot of

399
00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:24,080
Speaker 1: hype because of how he got here, which is that

400
00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:26,840
Speaker 1: the guy who puts the roster together loves him. Will

401
00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:30,560
Speaker 1: Will McClay loved Lanceloor's game in college, and so you

402
00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:33,240
Speaker 1: kind of hear that and you're like, watch this guy,

403
00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:35,080
Speaker 1: and then you know, when you get out under the

404
00:20:35,119 --> 00:20:37,879
Speaker 1: bright lights. He had some he made some good plays,

405
00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:40,040
Speaker 1: though you forget about the touchdown that he had. He

406
00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:45,080
Speaker 1: had a couple of good plays, but he was a constant. Uh.

407
00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:47,360
Speaker 1: It was an adventure every time he went back there,

408
00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:49,640
Speaker 1: and I think that's what people remember the most. Yeah,

409
00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:52,120
Speaker 1: And my point is I've seen more bad things than

410
00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:54,919
Speaker 1: the good. Now this is a guy. I'm giving him

411
00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:57,680
Speaker 1: the benefit of the doo. He still needs some time

412
00:20:57,720 --> 00:21:00,760
Speaker 1: to improve and this might be the year. Yesterday, hearing

413
00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:04,080
Speaker 1: Jordan Lewis talk about him, he I mean when he

414
00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:07,240
Speaker 1: was asked, who is that guy in the wide receiver

415
00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:11,160
Speaker 1: group that could kind of beats Brian, Jordan didn't compare

416
00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:13,800
Speaker 1: him to this, but he mentioned Lance Lenor out of

417
00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:17,840
Speaker 1: the group, saying, this is an underrated guy. So might

418
00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:19,760
Speaker 1: he be that guy? Who? Could he be that guy

419
00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:22,760
Speaker 1: this year that kind of rises to the top. Well,

420
00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:25,200
Speaker 1: he needs to if he wants to make the team,

421
00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:27,639
Speaker 1: because I feel I feel two different types of ways

422
00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:31,000
Speaker 1: about that. One. I think you're absolutely right if there's

423
00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:33,919
Speaker 1: I mean one of there's there's two guys that have

424
00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:36,960
Speaker 1: really like just put in an impressive three maybe three

425
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:39,119
Speaker 1: an impressive amount of work. Unfortunately one of them was

426
00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:43,240
Speaker 1: Ryan Switzer. He's gone now. Lance Lenor has been here

427
00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:46,320
Speaker 1: since the season ended, like he just lives in this facility.

428
00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:49,680
Speaker 1: Jordan Lewis too. Noah Brown is another guy that comes

429
00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:52,080
Speaker 1: to mind. But I mean he's putting in the work

430
00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:54,439
Speaker 1: and like I said, I mean, Will McClay is the

431
00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:57,359
Speaker 1: reason he's here. Will McClay loves this game. Dak Prescott

432
00:21:57,600 --> 00:21:59,520
Speaker 1: loves him. I mean they work out there and you

433
00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:02,000
Speaker 1: come here on a Saturday, they're here throwing routes together,

434
00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:06,000
Speaker 1: doing stuff like that. Um So in that regard, I mean,

435
00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:08,280
Speaker 1: he is a guy that I would advise you to

436
00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:11,680
Speaker 1: not forget about. On the other hand, just try to

437
00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:13,600
Speaker 1: do the math on this receiver corps. It's not going

438
00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:15,639
Speaker 1: to be easy for him. It's just not because I

439
00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:19,120
Speaker 1: think there's about five guys in front of him that

440
00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:21,240
Speaker 1: make a lot of sense to make this team, and

441
00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:23,919
Speaker 1: you probably not keep it more than six receivers. I

442
00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:29,800
Speaker 1: think that Lance Lenora, Noah Brown, and anybody else that's

443
00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:32,760
Speaker 1: not on the radar, they're really kind of fighting for

444
00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:36,879
Speaker 1: for maybe one spot. Yeah, because Gallops making it. Terrence

445
00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:39,159
Speaker 1: is making it right right now the way things are,

446
00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:40,959
Speaker 1: I mean, Terrence is making it, Gallops making it. Cole

447
00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:46,840
Speaker 1: Beasley's gonna make it. And then Tavon Austin is still

448
00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:49,200
Speaker 1: what's up with him? He's still is he a wide

449
00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:54,320
Speaker 1: receivers making it? I'm making it. I'm just saying I

450
00:22:54,359 --> 00:22:57,800
Speaker 1: still I'm killing him as a receiver. Yeah, No, I

451
00:22:57,800 --> 00:22:59,879
Speaker 1: mean he's not a running back. He's a receiver. So

452
00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:03,800
Speaker 1: he's still in that Tavon Austin on this rout they're

453
00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:07,320
Speaker 1: gonna keep six receivers again, Yeah, counting him as a receiver.

454
00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:11,359
Speaker 1: Absolutely Okay, So then then you know you're putting a

455
00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:16,040
Speaker 1: brown in there. You put um Deonte Thompson, Cedric Wilson,

456
00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:19,119
Speaker 1: DeAndre Thompson. Did you You didn't even say Alan Hearns.

457
00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:24,840
Speaker 1: He's making it. Alan Herns is making it's right? Of course? Yeah, yeah,

458
00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:27,159
Speaker 1: I mean already thought that was nut which and then

459
00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:29,520
Speaker 1: you know, I'm sitting here saying all ever since they

460
00:23:29,560 --> 00:23:32,359
Speaker 1: signed him, I'm like, well, Deontay Thompson's basically on a

461
00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:34,520
Speaker 1: vet minimum deal. He doesn't have to make it, and

462
00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:37,080
Speaker 1: he doesn't, but he's out there. He was running with

463
00:23:37,119 --> 00:23:39,639
Speaker 1: the first team a lot yesterday. He's got some speed.

464
00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:42,600
Speaker 1: Yeah that's so you sit you watch him run some

465
00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:44,879
Speaker 1: go routes and some bubble screens and you're like, no,

466
00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:47,159
Speaker 1: he'll he'll probably make it too, and all. That's what

467
00:23:47,359 --> 00:23:49,520
Speaker 1: That's my point is, all of a sudden, you got

468
00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:51,560
Speaker 1: five receivers that you feel pretty good about, and then

469
00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:53,879
Speaker 1: four other ones that are fighting for one spot. I

470
00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:58,000
Speaker 1: don't forget about Kadi Cannon. You you won't let me,

471
00:23:58,160 --> 00:24:00,840
Speaker 1: you won't let me forget about him, so group he

472
00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:03,359
Speaker 1: which And I didn't want to correct you because you

473
00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:06,600
Speaker 1: weren't wrong. All those guys did run with the first team.

474
00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:09,480
Speaker 1: But the thing that stood out to me was that

475
00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:12,240
Speaker 1: like everybody ran with the first Yeah, like I think

476
00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:14,840
Speaker 1: I counted seven they had, and Katie Cannon was one

477
00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:17,280
Speaker 1: of them. They had Katie Cannon run with the first team.

478
00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:22,840
Speaker 1: Cole Hearns deonte Um the one that stood out, And

479
00:24:23,119 --> 00:24:28,640
Speaker 1: it was the whole lancelin or thing because you know, um,

480
00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:32,239
Speaker 1: but I wouldn't count him. It always kind of has

481
00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:34,359
Speaker 1: its way of working itself out, you know, it just

482
00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:38,000
Speaker 1: were one one way or another injury here or maybe

483
00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:41,560
Speaker 1: you know with the way we cover this team or

484
00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:46,360
Speaker 1: the way this team is covered nationally and locally, and um,

485
00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:49,919
Speaker 1: all it takes is one drop pass and then the

486
00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:52,080
Speaker 1: ball to kind of you know, hit your hit you

487
00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:53,719
Speaker 1: in the face mask, and then all of a sudden,

488
00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:55,720
Speaker 1: it's like, well this guy sucks somebody, he's out, you know,

489
00:24:55,920 --> 00:24:57,240
Speaker 1: and then he'll come back and have an ad R

490
00:24:57,320 --> 00:25:01,119
Speaker 1: touchdown and it's like starting so, yeah, this is what

491
00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:03,560
Speaker 1: we do, but it'll it'll kind of go up and down.

492
00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:07,000
Speaker 1: We'll watch Lance Lenora just ball out for five days

493
00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:09,080
Speaker 1: in a row at training camp, just catch after catch

494
00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:12,200
Speaker 1: after catch, and then Deonte Thompson will have four catches

495
00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:14,720
Speaker 1: for ninety yards in a preseason game. He'll fumble upon

496
00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:16,720
Speaker 1: an amber be like a see what I've been saying

497
00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:19,840
Speaker 1: about ll But hey, no, prove me wrong. That's what

498
00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:21,760
Speaker 1: makes it so fun though. And the other thing too,

499
00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:24,840
Speaker 1: is this isn't as exciting as talking about the fifty three,

500
00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:27,960
Speaker 1: but like, damn near everybody we just talked about as

501
00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:30,120
Speaker 1: eligible for the practice squad twos. I mean, if Lance

502
00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:32,720
Speaker 1: Leonor doesn't make the fifty three, I assuming he doesn't

503
00:25:32,760 --> 00:25:35,000
Speaker 1: get snatched up, I bet my paycheck he's on the

504
00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:38,639
Speaker 1: practice squad. So a lot of guys that they feel

505
00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:41,679
Speaker 1: good about. And I mean, we've been saying it, but

506
00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:44,360
Speaker 1: it's worth repeating. It's going to be fun to watch. Now.

507
00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:46,560
Speaker 1: One of the guys I wanted to talk about real quick,

508
00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:49,600
Speaker 1: and I've seen people asking about him is Michael Gallup.

509
00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:53,320
Speaker 1: He didn't necessarily have a great day yesterday, and to

510
00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:57,560
Speaker 1: his defense, Cooper Rush, his passes were just not really great.

511
00:25:57,640 --> 00:26:00,920
Speaker 1: Why do you hate everybody? How's that hating than your house.

512
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:03,960
Speaker 1: I hate saying he didn't have a great day. Hold on,

513
00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:10,159
Speaker 1: hold on, passes weren't thrown very well. Now I wanted

514
00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:13,760
Speaker 1: to ask you, what were your observations on him, the

515
00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:19,400
Speaker 1: way that he was running routes getting open. Okay, that's

516
00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:23,639
Speaker 1: my question, I thought, not hating. I thought, Jesus, I

517
00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:26,080
Speaker 1: can't watch and give my opinion. I just I'm just

518
00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:29,040
Speaker 1: giving you crack because you hate everybody. Tell me, tell

519
00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:32,400
Speaker 1: me about Gallups. I mean, he looked fine. It's it's

520
00:26:32,560 --> 00:26:35,920
Speaker 1: so hard to form good opinion from two hours of

521
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:39,359
Speaker 1: running around in shorts. But actually, uh, Michael Gallup I

522
00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:41,120
Speaker 1: thought had the play of the day, if you want

523
00:26:41,119 --> 00:26:43,040
Speaker 1: to call it that. He just him and Mike White

524
00:26:43,119 --> 00:26:45,760
Speaker 1: had a really nice connection. It was like a twenty

525
00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:49,440
Speaker 1: five yard I don't even like it was a It

526
00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:52,760
Speaker 1: was like a flag route down near the pylon. UM,

527
00:26:53,080 --> 00:26:55,040
Speaker 1: and he made a nice over the shoulder catch. Michael.

528
00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:59,520
Speaker 1: The throw was absolutely beautiful. Um. But that's it's we're

529
00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:02,199
Speaker 1: talking about practice. We're not even really talking about practice.

530
00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:04,560
Speaker 1: We're talking about I get it, but if people ask

531
00:27:04,600 --> 00:27:07,439
Speaker 1: about Michael Gallup, you gotta give them at least something.

532
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:10,520
Speaker 1: The very little things that we get from watching this

533
00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:14,920
Speaker 1: first practice. This does look into him. This week, the

534
00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:17,480
Speaker 1: Cowboys are playing the Lions. The Lions have got the

535
00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:19,800
Speaker 1: ball that we're getting ready, went down, they kicked the

536
00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:22,160
Speaker 1: thirty five yard field goal and it's three to nothing.

537
00:27:22,840 --> 00:27:25,439
Speaker 1: That's where we are in the game. Like anybody worried,

538
00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:28,680
Speaker 1: like not not really, This is all just talking. We're

539
00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:31,639
Speaker 1: four minutes into the game and you know I'm not,

540
00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:34,280
Speaker 1: but I'm not ready. We're doing a show, so let's

541
00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:36,560
Speaker 1: let's bring it. Yeah, Dave, we'll trump's gallop. That's well,

542
00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:40,040
Speaker 1: it's funny. Well, I didn't say anything was wrong with

543
00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:43,040
Speaker 1: the eyes side. He wasn't thrown a I was gonna

544
00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:47,320
Speaker 1: get in this um. We are talking about the game. Somebody,

545
00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:51,240
Speaker 1: somebody yesterday, I don't remember who it was. It wasn't

546
00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:53,440
Speaker 1: it was like a media member. It wasn't like a

547
00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:55,960
Speaker 1: coach or anything like that. But somebody was like, he's

548
00:27:56,119 --> 00:27:58,640
Speaker 1: he's a starter, he's taking somebody's job. I'm like, we're

549
00:27:58,760 --> 00:28:00,920
Speaker 1: two hours into this thing. What are you talking about?

550
00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:03,480
Speaker 1: You know how many hamstrings get pulled by these knee jerks?

551
00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:06,440
Speaker 1: I mean it happens all the time. I thought he

552
00:28:06,560 --> 00:28:09,800
Speaker 1: looked fine, slash good. Let me clarify something and not

553
00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:12,760
Speaker 1: to go keep talking about this something. It's subject because

554
00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:15,000
Speaker 1: I'm about to move on. But just to clarify, I

555
00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:20,440
Speaker 1: was talking about the passes well, Cooper Rush. I like

556
00:28:20,560 --> 00:28:24,000
Speaker 1: Cooper Rush. Yesterday he didn't perform that well his pass

557
00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:27,159
Speaker 1: You talk about Dak people asking about Dak press. How

558
00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:31,280
Speaker 1: where his passes to me very consistent. He threw good passes.

559
00:28:31,560 --> 00:28:34,359
Speaker 1: Talk about Cooper Rush where his pass is all great. No,

560
00:28:35,040 --> 00:28:37,679
Speaker 1: I'm just I'm jumpy because me and Rob have been

561
00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:40,680
Speaker 1: fighting for two weeks about who's gonna be the backup quarterbacks.

562
00:28:40,920 --> 00:28:42,640
Speaker 1: He was like, we should do a segment. Okay, I'm

563
00:28:42,640 --> 00:28:45,800
Speaker 1: on the Cooper Rush trains. I like Cooper Rush too,

564
00:28:46,120 --> 00:28:50,360
Speaker 1: but you gotta be honest. I thought Cooper Rush to

565
00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:53,480
Speaker 1: me was just like, not just like, but similar to

566
00:28:53,560 --> 00:28:57,640
Speaker 1: what Dak did two years ago. Okay, you know, not

567
00:28:57,840 --> 00:29:00,440
Speaker 1: not not great, but pretty good in the pre in

568
00:29:00,520 --> 00:29:03,040
Speaker 1: that practices, and then you get to the games and

569
00:29:03,440 --> 00:29:06,120
Speaker 1: the offense is moving. Doesn't always look beautiful, but the

570
00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:08,480
Speaker 1: offense is moving and we're scoring touchdowns and some of

571
00:29:08,520 --> 00:29:10,800
Speaker 1: these passes look really good and the lights come on.

572
00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:15,760
Speaker 1: He's a gamer, and you can't coach that. You can't

573
00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:18,400
Speaker 1: just say, oh, I'm gonna I'm gonna get that guy

574
00:29:18,440 --> 00:29:20,480
Speaker 1: because he's a gamer. I mean, either you have it

575
00:29:20,600 --> 00:29:24,080
Speaker 1: or you don't. And so Rush definitely has that, and

576
00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:26,000
Speaker 1: I don't I don't want to be a hater on him,

577
00:29:26,040 --> 00:29:28,479
Speaker 1: but I say this, I don't think it's it's out

578
00:29:28,520 --> 00:29:30,680
Speaker 1: of the questions that Mike White can't compete with him.

579
00:29:30,920 --> 00:29:33,720
Speaker 1: He doesn't have that much experience in regular season, so

580
00:29:33,880 --> 00:29:36,840
Speaker 1: it's he's not that far ahead of him. It'll be interesting.

581
00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:38,880
Speaker 1: And if you just watch him throw the ball from

582
00:29:38,920 --> 00:29:41,960
Speaker 1: point eight to point b, I think Mike White throws

583
00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:45,959
Speaker 1: a better ball right now, but Michael Vick threw one

584
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:48,360
Speaker 1: of the best balls ever and you didn't always know

585
00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:50,840
Speaker 1: where it was gonna go, so that it's not just

586
00:29:50,960 --> 00:29:55,760
Speaker 1: about how tight the spiral is. Oh to me, no,

587
00:29:55,920 --> 00:29:59,160
Speaker 1: I thought Dave was gonna say something quiet. That's the

588
00:29:59,280 --> 00:30:05,800
Speaker 1: first geez, that's fair. That's fair. Okay, Let's move on

589
00:30:05,880 --> 00:30:07,760
Speaker 1: to the defense. To the side of the defense. On

590
00:30:07,840 --> 00:30:12,080
Speaker 1: the secondary, we had Cheeto Byron Anthony Brown at corner

591
00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:16,440
Speaker 1: and in the safety Jeff Heath and Xavier Woods. Happy

592
00:30:16,520 --> 00:30:23,440
Speaker 1: birthday to Cheeto. Yeah, happy birthday. Yeah, oh nice, uh, okay, okay,

593
00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:26,480
Speaker 1: Let's let's start off with Byron Jones at corner. Then

594
00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:29,920
Speaker 1: he looked really good out there length He made a

595
00:30:30,040 --> 00:30:32,840
Speaker 1: really nice play. If we could get Marion Elliot in

596
00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:37,120
Speaker 1: here to talk about Byron Jones or length hike solid.

597
00:30:39,400 --> 00:30:41,960
Speaker 1: Actually I said, Mikes, thanks coach. Byron Jones might have

598
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:43,080
Speaker 1: had the play of the day. I think it was

599
00:30:43,120 --> 00:30:47,000
Speaker 1: Deonte Thompson. Dak went deep for somebody, and I mean

600
00:30:47,080 --> 00:30:48,400
Speaker 1: it was you know, it would have been like a

601
00:30:48,480 --> 00:30:51,840
Speaker 1: twenty thirty yard game and Byron dove and broke it up.

602
00:30:52,120 --> 00:30:55,880
Speaker 1: Super athletic kind of you know, dudes, the dudes athletic.

603
00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:58,880
Speaker 1: I mean, if if he can get his mind around.

604
00:30:58,880 --> 00:31:01,040
Speaker 1: And actually Jordan Lewis had a great quote about that.

605
00:31:01,080 --> 00:31:03,040
Speaker 1: Somebody was like, you know, how do you feel about

606
00:31:03,080 --> 00:31:07,720
Speaker 1: his transition, you know, moving to cornerback. He's like playing

607
00:31:07,760 --> 00:31:10,040
Speaker 1: in cornerback like most of his career he played safety

608
00:31:10,080 --> 00:31:11,800
Speaker 1: for like two or three years. Like, I think he'll

609
00:31:11,800 --> 00:31:14,600
Speaker 1: be okay, so you forget about all the years of

610
00:31:14,680 --> 00:31:17,440
Speaker 1: football that these guys play before they get here. It's

611
00:31:17,480 --> 00:31:21,360
Speaker 1: definitely an exciting time for him in this position, with

612
00:31:21,480 --> 00:31:23,720
Speaker 1: this new coach and seeing how he's going to be

613
00:31:23,760 --> 00:31:26,680
Speaker 1: able to evolve here hopefully. And again this is something

614
00:31:26,720 --> 00:31:29,200
Speaker 1: I'm not trying to get too excited about it because,

615
00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:32,080
Speaker 1: for example, last year we saw how great Byron was

616
00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:35,320
Speaker 1: during training camp and at practices, and then when the game,

617
00:31:35,880 --> 00:31:38,040
Speaker 1: you know, the season started, it was kind of different.

618
00:31:38,600 --> 00:31:42,840
Speaker 1: But moving on from that worth us to leave Jordan Lewis.

619
00:31:43,400 --> 00:31:47,560
Speaker 1: I'm glad you brought that up because somebody emailed me

620
00:31:47,680 --> 00:31:49,800
Speaker 1: this morning. This goes back to the point that it's

621
00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:54,840
Speaker 1: day day three of twelve in OTAs. Somebody emailed me

622
00:31:54,960 --> 00:31:58,320
Speaker 1: today and basically was like, talk me off the ledge

623
00:31:58,960 --> 00:32:01,800
Speaker 1: about Jordan Lewis on the second team, Like why isn't

624
00:32:01,840 --> 00:32:04,280
Speaker 1: he on the first team? They were like, talk me

625
00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:06,280
Speaker 1: off the ledge. I'm panicking, And I just wanted to

626
00:32:06,320 --> 00:32:09,120
Speaker 1: be like, you have to get a hobby other than

627
00:32:09,200 --> 00:32:11,640
Speaker 1: like you got a chill, you just you can't be

628
00:32:11,800 --> 00:32:16,400
Speaker 1: that panicked about this in May, which people that are

629
00:32:16,520 --> 00:32:18,400
Speaker 1: like that are the ones that are listening right now

630
00:32:18,520 --> 00:32:22,320
Speaker 1: because they know I'm I'm not saying they're all that way,

631
00:32:22,320 --> 00:32:25,520
Speaker 1: but I'm saying they're passionate. They're super passionate, but hopefully

632
00:32:26,240 --> 00:32:28,720
Speaker 1: super intelligent. Because they listen to what we have to say.

633
00:32:28,960 --> 00:32:31,640
Speaker 1: But what I me the other day thinking that Baron

634
00:32:31,760 --> 00:32:34,040
Speaker 1: Jones is put up that much weight that he can

635
00:32:34,080 --> 00:32:36,800
Speaker 1: really play left tackle, because I compared him to flows

636
00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:41,400
Speaker 1: Out Adams, Like, seriously send me that. We get, we get,

637
00:32:41,840 --> 00:32:44,480
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. Yeah, So you're saying I

638
00:32:44,560 --> 00:32:46,560
Speaker 1: had a long talk with Jordan Lewis yet, Yes, yeah,

639
00:32:47,360 --> 00:32:52,520
Speaker 1: long talk six minutes, um. But the more I talk

640
00:32:52,600 --> 00:32:55,800
Speaker 1: to him, the more I like him. Is just he's

641
00:32:55,840 --> 00:32:58,960
Speaker 1: got the right he's got the right frame of mind.

642
00:32:58,960 --> 00:33:00,920
Speaker 1: You talk about lancelin or being up here, I think

643
00:33:00,960 --> 00:33:04,120
Speaker 1: you did mention Jordan Lewis as well. Um. And Jordan

644
00:33:04,280 --> 00:33:06,560
Speaker 1: was telling me that there was a guy that he

645
00:33:06,840 --> 00:33:10,360
Speaker 1: at Michigan, that it works at Michigan and when he

646
00:33:10,400 --> 00:33:12,880
Speaker 1: went back for the offseason and talked to him, and

647
00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:14,760
Speaker 1: he played in the NFL five or six years, and

648
00:33:14,800 --> 00:33:16,440
Speaker 1: he said after about this third year, he just got

649
00:33:16,520 --> 00:33:19,080
Speaker 1: burnt out and didn't like it. And he was like,

650
00:33:19,400 --> 00:33:21,440
Speaker 1: that's not gonna be me. That's not gonna be me.

651
00:33:21,520 --> 00:33:24,000
Speaker 1: And and I'm and I'm taking every single day and

652
00:33:24,080 --> 00:33:27,000
Speaker 1: I'm you know, being thankful for every day. And I

653
00:33:27,040 --> 00:33:29,720
Speaker 1: asked him, I said, a year ago, you were dealing

654
00:33:29,760 --> 00:33:33,200
Speaker 1: with other stuff. You know, he had off the field concerns.

655
00:33:33,280 --> 00:33:37,920
Speaker 1: I guess there was a pending trial or domestical that

656
00:33:38,200 --> 00:33:40,600
Speaker 1: he had hanging over his head. One that once that

657
00:33:40,720 --> 00:33:43,040
Speaker 1: guy cleared up, he was like, it was I could

658
00:33:43,080 --> 00:33:45,120
Speaker 1: just play football, and he goes, so this year, the

659
00:33:45,200 --> 00:33:47,800
Speaker 1: only thing I worry about is like learning the playbook better.

660
00:33:47,880 --> 00:33:51,840
Speaker 1: And but he thought it was great that Chris Rashard

661
00:33:51,960 --> 00:33:55,120
Speaker 1: told him or just said to everybody. He's an exception

662
00:33:55,200 --> 00:33:57,160
Speaker 1: to the rule. He said, just because I'm not tall

663
00:33:57,200 --> 00:33:59,880
Speaker 1: doesn't mean I can't be physical. So I think he's

664
00:34:00,120 --> 00:34:03,280
Speaker 1: saying and doing all the right things. Yeah, And I mean, well,

665
00:34:03,400 --> 00:34:06,000
Speaker 1: all right, I just we got some next Dallas Cowboys

666
00:34:06,080 --> 00:34:09,640
Speaker 1: coming through the line. How we sure do? They're almost

667
00:34:09,680 --> 00:34:13,879
Speaker 1: as tall as me. That's depressing. Tourists come through all

668
00:34:13,920 --> 00:34:16,120
Speaker 1: the time here at the Star, and we got a

669
00:34:16,920 --> 00:34:19,160
Speaker 1: good looking set of guys here that I gotta I'll

670
00:34:19,160 --> 00:34:21,080
Speaker 1: see a football under somebody's arms. So they're gonna go

671
00:34:21,080 --> 00:34:23,040
Speaker 1: out and maybe practice. Yeah, Tamie, I'll let him out

672
00:34:23,040 --> 00:34:25,799
Speaker 1: at OTAs. I'm I'm gonna throw out a hot take

673
00:34:25,840 --> 00:34:28,239
Speaker 1: after I just criticized one of our fans for having

674
00:34:28,239 --> 00:34:30,319
Speaker 1: a hot take. But when it's all said and done,

675
00:34:30,320 --> 00:34:31,759
Speaker 1: I just think Jordan Lewis will be one of the

676
00:34:31,800 --> 00:34:33,839
Speaker 1: top three corners on this team. I don't play him

677
00:34:33,960 --> 00:34:35,680
Speaker 1: in the slot, play him outside, I don't know, But

678
00:34:36,200 --> 00:34:37,880
Speaker 1: I don't care where he was on day two of

679
00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:40,759
Speaker 1: OTAs because I think he's he hasn't done anything not

680
00:34:40,880 --> 00:34:43,320
Speaker 1: to be Yeah, well yeah, and I mean, you know,

681
00:34:43,719 --> 00:34:46,680
Speaker 1: Anthony Brown's got a year on him. Anthony Brown's got

682
00:34:46,840 --> 00:34:49,560
Speaker 1: experienced playing on the inside and outside. So whatever, if

683
00:34:49,560 --> 00:34:50,840
Speaker 1: you want to take a look at him first, I

684
00:34:50,880 --> 00:34:55,080
Speaker 1: don't care, but I have Jordan reminds me a lot

685
00:34:55,160 --> 00:34:58,440
Speaker 1: of Dak just like if you're around him, it's that similar,

686
00:34:58,560 --> 00:35:02,600
Speaker 1: Like he just ex Dud's confidence and poise. I mean

687
00:35:03,360 --> 00:35:05,080
Speaker 1: that just kind of like it's you know, that kind

688
00:35:05,120 --> 00:35:08,800
Speaker 1: of like that quality of like they'll make you a believer.

689
00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:11,839
Speaker 1: I think there's I'm sure there have been days where

690
00:35:12,280 --> 00:35:15,239
Speaker 1: Dan Bailey maybe wasn't feeling it in practice, but Chris

691
00:35:15,360 --> 00:35:17,839
Speaker 1: Jones was and they brought you know, or vice versa.

692
00:35:18,680 --> 00:35:21,320
Speaker 1: Travis Frederick I'm sure has brought the best out of

693
00:35:21,440 --> 00:35:23,520
Speaker 1: Zach Martin, and Zach Martin's brought the best out of him.

694
00:35:24,120 --> 00:35:28,200
Speaker 1: And I really think Cheeto and Jordan Lewis that you

695
00:35:28,280 --> 00:35:31,280
Speaker 1: see them together a lot, that they're the same age,

696
00:35:31,400 --> 00:35:34,800
Speaker 1: they drafted, the same class, same position. For now, I

697
00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:38,319
Speaker 1: think that they're they're going to really push each other.

698
00:35:38,960 --> 00:35:41,799
Speaker 1: Don't even play. I mean, but don't even don't even

699
00:35:41,880 --> 00:35:45,040
Speaker 1: go there. It wouldn't it wouldn't be fair or right

700
00:35:45,200 --> 00:35:48,600
Speaker 1: to suggest that they're gonna be like perennial pro bowlers.

701
00:35:48,640 --> 00:35:50,000
Speaker 1: I'm at the end of the day, we don't know

702
00:35:50,120 --> 00:35:52,799
Speaker 1: how it's all gonna work out for them, but there's

703
00:35:52,840 --> 00:35:55,800
Speaker 1: every reason to be optimistic in those two guys in

704
00:35:55,920 --> 00:35:57,560
Speaker 1: terms of what they're doing on the field, the work

705
00:35:57,600 --> 00:36:01,480
Speaker 1: they're putting in their character, in their commitments, it being better,

706
00:36:01,640 --> 00:36:04,359
Speaker 1: all that type of stuff. Okay, and let's take our

707
00:36:04,480 --> 00:36:07,840
Speaker 1: second break. When we come back. I did forgot forget

708
00:36:07,920 --> 00:36:10,520
Speaker 1: to talk about the tight end group, which is something

709
00:36:10,600 --> 00:36:13,520
Speaker 1: I'm very passionate about right now. Yes, so when we

Speaker 1: back on the break. We are back, So let's talk

750
00:38:20,120 --> 00:38:25,479
Speaker 1: about something very that everyone needs. Picking a number one

751
00:38:25,560 --> 00:38:29,160
Speaker 1: in the draft is a good thing. Do we all agree? Yes? Well,

752
00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:32,600
Speaker 1: having the pick is good. Getting there it's not so good,

753
00:38:33,040 --> 00:38:36,920
Speaker 1: But picking go ahead, Your wedges is a bad thing. True,

754
00:38:37,120 --> 00:38:41,400
Speaker 1: So Nick, how can we never have to deal with

755
00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:47,480
Speaker 1: picking wedges out again? Tell us about this well too,

756
00:38:47,600 --> 00:38:49,439
Speaker 1: I think we solved this problem. Well one, you could

757
00:38:49,440 --> 00:38:51,239
Speaker 1: go Commando, but if you don't want to do that,

758
00:38:51,560 --> 00:38:54,040
Speaker 1: you can definitely go Tommy John. Tommy John is the

759
00:38:54,120 --> 00:38:56,359
Speaker 1: next best thing because it kind of feels the same. Really,

760
00:38:56,640 --> 00:38:59,200
Speaker 1: Tommy John dot com Forward slash Cowboys. You get twenty

761
00:38:59,239 --> 00:39:02,880
Speaker 1: percent off your storder Tommy John dot com Forward slash Cowboys,

762
00:39:03,239 --> 00:39:06,839
Speaker 1: no wedgies hashtag, and he keeps the ants away from

763
00:39:06,880 --> 00:39:10,120
Speaker 1: your pants. That's from their commercials. I hadn't heard that,

764
00:39:10,520 --> 00:39:15,080
Speaker 1: you know, in the every every commercial on our videos

765
00:39:15,120 --> 00:39:17,120
Speaker 1: on the website, it's like antswing your pants. And then

766
00:39:17,160 --> 00:39:21,160
Speaker 1: the guys like, at this point, if if you if

767
00:39:21,200 --> 00:39:24,000
Speaker 1: you haven't decided to make the switch to Tommy John,

768
00:39:24,080 --> 00:39:29,200
Speaker 1: then you're probably just being that fourteen year old teenage

769
00:39:29,239 --> 00:39:31,200
Speaker 1: girl that's stubborn that says I just don't want to

770
00:39:31,280 --> 00:39:33,840
Speaker 1: because you're telling me too, because we're giving you plenty

771
00:39:33,920 --> 00:39:37,960
Speaker 1: of reasons video commercials and reads. Somebody actually to switch.

772
00:39:38,080 --> 00:39:40,560
Speaker 1: Somebody tweeted at me recently and was like I finally

773
00:39:40,719 --> 00:39:42,840
Speaker 1: broke down, like y'all talk about it too much and

774
00:39:43,080 --> 00:39:45,520
Speaker 1: they are comfy as hell, so shouts out to you,

775
00:39:45,680 --> 00:39:50,560
Speaker 1: good job. Nice. So let's start talking about tight end everyone,

776
00:39:50,680 --> 00:39:53,520
Speaker 1: And basically we were I were talking about I'm talking

777
00:39:53,560 --> 00:39:58,960
Speaker 1: about I just know what's true. True. Nice transition there.

778
00:39:59,160 --> 00:40:02,560
Speaker 1: So let's keep in the subject and talk about these

779
00:40:02,960 --> 00:40:08,080
Speaker 1: big guys that play at tight end. We saw all

780
00:40:08,120 --> 00:40:11,640
Speaker 1: of them. So before I give my own opinion on this,

781
00:40:12,320 --> 00:40:15,160
Speaker 1: and one of the guys that we've been talking about

782
00:40:15,200 --> 00:40:18,280
Speaker 1: a lot or fans are always asking about his Rico Gathers.

783
00:40:21,800 --> 00:40:25,680
Speaker 1: We saw him yesterday. He's back. We saw him in action,

784
00:40:26,040 --> 00:40:30,000
Speaker 1: So impressions of him and how he played and how

785
00:40:30,040 --> 00:40:34,840
Speaker 1: he looked along the other guys. Because this is a

786
00:40:34,960 --> 00:40:38,640
Speaker 1: big problem here. Why is it a problem, Well, it's

787
00:40:38,640 --> 00:40:40,440
Speaker 1: just not working out well because you have a guy

788
00:40:40,520 --> 00:40:43,600
Speaker 1: for fifteen years that've kind of dominated the position both

789
00:40:43,719 --> 00:40:46,200
Speaker 1: on the team and in the NFL, and now he's

790
00:40:46,239 --> 00:40:48,359
Speaker 1: gone and now you got to you gotta replace him.

791
00:40:48,600 --> 00:40:50,920
Speaker 1: You know what. One of the things that stuck out

792
00:40:50,960 --> 00:40:53,759
Speaker 1: to me the most from everything that happened yesterday was

793
00:40:54,160 --> 00:40:57,640
Speaker 1: we were doing interviews with like Scott Linahan after practice

794
00:40:57,719 --> 00:41:00,920
Speaker 1: and like guys will stay behind and work on their

795
00:41:01,000 --> 00:41:03,839
Speaker 1: footwork and chat with coaches, and it takes like twenty

796
00:41:03,880 --> 00:41:05,839
Speaker 1: minutes for everybody to leave the field. So I look

797
00:41:05,920 --> 00:41:11,040
Speaker 1: over and all the tight ends are gathered under the tower,

798
00:41:11,320 --> 00:41:13,920
Speaker 1: in the shade, under the video tower, and there, you know,

799
00:41:14,200 --> 00:41:17,160
Speaker 1: Jeff Swaim is like teaching Dalton Schultz about like coming

800
00:41:17,200 --> 00:41:19,320
Speaker 1: out of his breaks and like the right footwork. And

801
00:41:19,400 --> 00:41:21,880
Speaker 1: I was just like, this is weird that, like a

802
00:41:22,000 --> 00:41:24,480
Speaker 1: guy in his fourth year is like the elder statesman

803
00:41:24,520 --> 00:41:26,280
Speaker 1: of this whole group. But it really it was Swaim

804
00:41:26,800 --> 00:41:31,040
Speaker 1: and Schultz and Blake Jarwin and uh some rookie whose

805
00:41:31,120 --> 00:41:33,279
Speaker 1: name I already forgot. I don't even remember who it was.

806
00:41:34,000 --> 00:41:36,560
Speaker 1: I was just like God, and all of these guys

807
00:41:36,640 --> 00:41:39,040
Speaker 1: combined to have fewer seasons in the league than Winton

808
00:41:41,320 --> 00:41:48,680
Speaker 1: ten coaches. Scott Meyer, Well, he's probably looking around, like

809
00:41:49,320 --> 00:41:51,319
Speaker 1: so I have to I mean I have to coach now, Yeah,

810
00:41:51,360 --> 00:41:52,840
Speaker 1: Like I really have to coach these tight ends. I

811
00:41:52,880 --> 00:41:54,759
Speaker 1: don't have a guy that like when he came in

812
00:41:54,880 --> 00:41:56,919
Speaker 1: for his interview, they were like, you know, Witten's gonna

813
00:41:56,960 --> 00:41:59,400
Speaker 1: lead the meetings and like just make sure you're on

814
00:41:59,480 --> 00:42:04,880
Speaker 1: the plane, yea. And now it's Tia tie, you got

815
00:42:05,000 --> 00:42:07,000
Speaker 1: a got a game plan for this, right, coach tight

816
00:42:07,120 --> 00:42:11,640
Speaker 1: ends right. So from what I've watched yesterday and seeing

817
00:42:11,719 --> 00:42:16,040
Speaker 1: how everyone render, you know, rend down the field, caught

818
00:42:16,120 --> 00:42:19,600
Speaker 1: the ball and everything, I like what I saw everyone

819
00:42:19,840 --> 00:42:24,480
Speaker 1: from everyone hold on except Rico. He's still He's just

820
00:42:24,920 --> 00:42:28,000
Speaker 1: he's slow. His body. I feel like it's something that

821
00:42:28,160 --> 00:42:31,000
Speaker 1: it's not coming. It's not his fault. I think it's

822
00:42:31,040 --> 00:42:33,960
Speaker 1: just the way his body is, his built that way,

823
00:42:34,000 --> 00:42:36,720
Speaker 1: and it's just not working out at that position compared

824
00:42:36,719 --> 00:42:39,560
Speaker 1: to everyone else, how slow he is. And he's still

825
00:42:39,560 --> 00:42:41,799
Speaker 1: a quote and I've already done this once this week

826
00:42:41,880 --> 00:42:44,480
Speaker 1: in another capacity, but it's it applies to a lot

827
00:42:44,520 --> 00:42:46,640
Speaker 1: of things. Bill Parcells just say it all the time.

828
00:42:47,160 --> 00:42:50,279
Speaker 1: Knowledge is confidence and confidence lets you play fast. And

829
00:42:50,400 --> 00:42:53,239
Speaker 1: I think he's still dealing with the fact that he's

830
00:42:53,239 --> 00:42:55,720
Speaker 1: still learning how to play this game, in this position,

831
00:42:56,000 --> 00:42:58,600
Speaker 1: this sport. He's still learning how to do it. And

832
00:42:58,680 --> 00:43:00,840
Speaker 1: then you're when you're doing a thinking you're not going

833
00:43:00,880 --> 00:43:04,759
Speaker 1: to be moving athletically. He's probably more athletic than than

834
00:43:04,800 --> 00:43:08,040
Speaker 1: a lot of those guys, but he's still trying to

835
00:43:08,120 --> 00:43:09,879
Speaker 1: figure it out. That's why when he makes a catch

836
00:43:09,920 --> 00:43:12,439
Speaker 1: he falls down the ground that there was one drill

837
00:43:12,480 --> 00:43:14,520
Speaker 1: where they all were looking at and he makes the catch,

838
00:43:14,640 --> 00:43:17,320
Speaker 1: but he goes to the ground. It's still seems to

839
00:43:17,400 --> 00:43:20,000
Speaker 1: me that he's going up for rebounds. Yeah, instead of

840
00:43:20,120 --> 00:43:23,239
Speaker 1: going running through your route and catching it at the

841
00:43:23,400 --> 00:43:26,680
Speaker 1: at the ten yard line, he's he's stopping around the

842
00:43:26,920 --> 00:43:30,560
Speaker 1: fifteen high, pointing it, going up, getting it, falling to

843
00:43:30,680 --> 00:43:33,920
Speaker 1: the ground traveling. I mean, you can't. He needs to

844
00:43:34,719 --> 00:43:37,279
Speaker 1: still figure out his way to be a football player,

845
00:43:37,280 --> 00:43:39,440
Speaker 1: and he's still not there yet. And he looked good

846
00:43:39,480 --> 00:43:42,480
Speaker 1: in those preseason games, but still we all agree that

847
00:43:42,600 --> 00:43:45,480
Speaker 1: preseason is not the same as a regular season game.

848
00:43:45,560 --> 00:43:47,920
Speaker 1: I had this thought yesterday, and I you know, I

849
00:43:48,200 --> 00:43:51,759
Speaker 1: compared Connor Williams to Zach Martin earlier, so whatever, I'll

850
00:43:51,800 --> 00:43:55,320
Speaker 1: compare Rico to Lebron Why not? Okay, But you know

851
00:43:55,440 --> 00:43:58,239
Speaker 1: it's such a everybody loves to joke like Lebron could

852
00:43:58,239 --> 00:44:00,319
Speaker 1: start it tight end for the Browns, he'd be great.

853
00:44:00,440 --> 00:44:01,920
Speaker 1: And maybe he would. I mean, he's one of the

854
00:44:02,000 --> 00:44:04,680
Speaker 1: best athletes ever. But I just was thinking, you know,

855
00:44:05,080 --> 00:44:08,520
Speaker 1: these guys, they look so big and fast on a

856
00:44:08,600 --> 00:44:11,759
Speaker 1: basketball court because it's one hundred feet long. You know,

857
00:44:11,920 --> 00:44:14,640
Speaker 1: it's not a lot of space. I mean, Lebron takes

858
00:44:14,680 --> 00:44:17,160
Speaker 1: four steps and he's from mid court to the rim.

859
00:44:19,200 --> 00:44:22,200
Speaker 1: And Rico I was similar when he played in basketball.

860
00:44:22,320 --> 00:44:25,279
Speaker 1: Like football, it's such a different sport. I mean it's

861
00:44:25,320 --> 00:44:28,440
Speaker 1: a hundred yards. The field is fifty three yards wide.

862
00:44:29,600 --> 00:44:31,600
Speaker 1: I mean, you can cover that much ground, but that's

863
00:44:31,640 --> 00:44:34,560
Speaker 1: only I mean what that's like fifteen yards when you

864
00:44:34,640 --> 00:44:36,799
Speaker 1: need to run twenty five yards downfield of the end zone.

865
00:44:36,800 --> 00:44:40,480
Speaker 1: You know, like it's it's so much more space to cover,

866
00:44:40,600 --> 00:44:43,239
Speaker 1: and so like, even if you're explosive, the space just

867
00:44:43,360 --> 00:44:44,680
Speaker 1: kind of eats you up. And that's just what I

868
00:44:44,760 --> 00:44:47,080
Speaker 1: was thinking about yesterday because I was like, I get

869
00:44:47,160 --> 00:44:50,279
Speaker 1: what you're saying. I mean, he's not slow, but that

870
00:44:50,440 --> 00:44:53,360
Speaker 1: explosiveness just doesn't translate as well to a football field.

871
00:44:53,480 --> 00:44:57,440
Speaker 1: You know, you mentioned Lebron a couple weeks ago. He

872
00:44:57,560 --> 00:44:59,719
Speaker 1: had one of the greatest plays I think I've seen

873
00:44:59,800 --> 00:45:01,759
Speaker 1: in a long long time when he took the ball

874
00:45:01,800 --> 00:45:05,400
Speaker 1: coast to coast and the game winning shot against Toronto.

875
00:45:05,640 --> 00:45:09,200
Speaker 1: Against Toronto just what was going ninety four feet but

876
00:45:09,320 --> 00:45:12,200
Speaker 1: then pulls up off Buddy and has the touch to

877
00:45:13,000 --> 00:45:14,960
Speaker 1: to kiss it off the glass because most people are

878
00:45:15,000 --> 00:45:16,879
Speaker 1: just going to crack the backboard because they're gonna throw

879
00:45:16,880 --> 00:45:18,840
Speaker 1: it so hard. And that's the same with with with

880
00:45:19,239 --> 00:45:22,040
Speaker 1: tied end and what Rico's figuring out how to play

881
00:45:22,239 --> 00:45:25,920
Speaker 1: something so physical, so violent, with touch and grace at

882
00:45:25,960 --> 00:45:29,279
Speaker 1: the same time, it is not an easy transition to

883
00:45:29,360 --> 00:45:31,840
Speaker 1: do well. You see, I'm not fully convinced that that

884
00:45:32,080 --> 00:45:34,920
Speaker 1: is the right spot for him. And yes, and I

885
00:45:35,080 --> 00:45:38,920
Speaker 1: was talking to Brian about this after while watching him playing,

886
00:45:39,160 --> 00:45:42,440
Speaker 1: and it's like, why not move him somewhere else? Why

887
00:45:42,520 --> 00:45:45,280
Speaker 1: not tribe him at like the D line or something.

888
00:45:45,400 --> 00:45:47,280
Speaker 1: Put it find him. I mean, he has a body

889
00:45:47,320 --> 00:45:50,200
Speaker 1: for it, There's no doubt he's I think he would

890
00:45:50,239 --> 00:45:52,600
Speaker 1: be more successful at something like that. I think, well,

891
00:45:52,760 --> 00:45:55,080
Speaker 1: if we're talking about explosiveness, I mean, that's like the

892
00:45:55,280 --> 00:45:58,280
Speaker 1: key to playing D line. Though I've heard no shortage

893
00:45:58,280 --> 00:46:01,440
Speaker 1: of people suggests playing him at offensive Yeah, offensive line.

894
00:46:01,640 --> 00:46:03,320
Speaker 1: I would I would give him a shot at that

895
00:46:03,520 --> 00:46:05,960
Speaker 1: somewhere in the line, because the whole thing of him

896
00:46:06,200 --> 00:46:09,480
Speaker 1: taking off, turning around, running, I mean, he just can't

897
00:46:09,560 --> 00:46:12,520
Speaker 1: you know who this guy is to me is Martellis Bennett.

898
00:46:13,000 --> 00:46:17,800
Speaker 1: Because now Martellis was drafted much higher any but he

899
00:46:17,880 --> 00:46:21,040
Speaker 1: played basketball and football a little bit too, And and

900
00:46:21,239 --> 00:46:25,120
Speaker 1: Martellis was athletic um, but there was times when he

901
00:46:25,280 --> 00:46:27,560
Speaker 1: looked kind of slow out there. You don't want a

902
00:46:27,640 --> 00:46:30,040
Speaker 1: screen and stuff. He never really played that athletic. He

903
00:46:30,120 --> 00:46:32,080
Speaker 1: played in the league ten years and I don't know

904
00:46:32,200 --> 00:46:34,719
Speaker 1: how many times he ever just went and dominated a guy,

905
00:46:35,040 --> 00:46:37,840
Speaker 1: you know, high pointed the ball and caught it. And

906
00:46:38,640 --> 00:46:42,840
Speaker 1: I think and Martellis, somebody told him if you know,

907
00:46:43,000 --> 00:46:44,640
Speaker 1: at one point he got up to like two eighty,

908
00:46:45,000 --> 00:46:48,320
Speaker 1: so you gained fifteen twenty more pounds and you'd be

909
00:46:48,360 --> 00:46:50,400
Speaker 1: one of the best left tackles. Ever, he didn't have

910
00:46:50,480 --> 00:46:52,800
Speaker 1: the mindset for that that that's not what he wanted

911
00:46:52,840 --> 00:46:55,160
Speaker 1: to do. He wants to catch touchdowns, be a star.

912
00:46:55,800 --> 00:46:58,000
Speaker 1: I mean, I would think Tyrn Smith is pretty much

913
00:46:58,000 --> 00:46:59,920
Speaker 1: a star too. But a lot of guys don't have

914
00:47:00,160 --> 00:47:02,800
Speaker 1: that mentality to do the dirty work type of stuff.

915
00:47:03,040 --> 00:47:05,719
Speaker 1: They want to be in that more glamorous positions. And

916
00:47:05,760 --> 00:47:08,960
Speaker 1: I don't think Rico's there for that similar Yeah, no,

917
00:47:09,080 --> 00:47:12,400
Speaker 1: I think, well, and that's right. He likes the spotlight.

918
00:47:12,560 --> 00:47:14,800
Speaker 1: I mean, if you're a rapper. We've talked about this

919
00:47:14,920 --> 00:47:18,080
Speaker 1: and what was his top song. What was that song? Again?

920
00:47:18,200 --> 00:47:19,759
Speaker 1: I don't think we can say the name of it,

921
00:47:19,880 --> 00:47:23,080
Speaker 1: can't We don't. That's why he started talking about well

922
00:47:23,120 --> 00:47:25,319
Speaker 1: people asked him in the locker room, and as soon

923
00:47:25,360 --> 00:47:27,239
Speaker 1: as he started talking about the whole rapping, I'm like,

924
00:47:27,320 --> 00:47:30,800
Speaker 1: I walked away. No, but he walked away to Coleah.

925
00:47:30,800 --> 00:47:35,000
Speaker 1: I want to talk about two different rappers on this team.

926
00:47:35,040 --> 00:47:39,040
Speaker 1: Of course there are, I mean, m definitely, no, probably

927
00:47:39,120 --> 00:47:41,320
Speaker 1: more than that, but just two that are. We've talked

928
00:47:41,360 --> 00:47:46,680
Speaker 1: about this before yesterday, and just affirms my belief like

929
00:47:46,760 --> 00:47:48,360
Speaker 1: this is going to come to a head at some

930
00:47:48,480 --> 00:47:51,879
Speaker 1: point because Rico Rico said it, We've kind of hinted

931
00:47:51,920 --> 00:47:53,200
Speaker 1: at it. He said it himself. He's like, I was

932
00:47:53,280 --> 00:47:55,799
Speaker 1: ready to play halfway through last season. I was, I'm

933
00:47:55,840 --> 00:47:59,000
Speaker 1: just ready to come back. So there's a disconnect there

934
00:47:59,120 --> 00:48:01,600
Speaker 1: between what he wants and saying what the Cowboys think

935
00:48:01,680 --> 00:48:05,560
Speaker 1: he can or should do. And I don't know, man,

936
00:48:05,640 --> 00:48:08,200
Speaker 1: I mean like he's either gonna step up and just

937
00:48:08,400 --> 00:48:10,360
Speaker 1: make it impossible for them to keep him off the

938
00:48:10,440 --> 00:48:13,120
Speaker 1: fifty three, or he's not going to be here in

939
00:48:13,239 --> 00:48:15,200
Speaker 1: twenty eighteen. That's what I think. One. I mean, if

940
00:48:15,200 --> 00:48:16,920
Speaker 1: they cut him, I think he'll go somewhere else and

941
00:48:17,000 --> 00:48:20,160
Speaker 1: try to catch on or whatever. But I don't. I

942
00:48:20,200 --> 00:48:23,080
Speaker 1: don't think he's gonna let them keep him on the shelf.

943
00:48:23,160 --> 00:48:25,000
Speaker 1: We've got more or another. We've got more about Rico

944
00:48:25,080 --> 00:48:27,120
Speaker 1: Gathers coming on the site later today. I think Rob

945
00:48:28,239 --> 00:48:32,560
Speaker 1: a story, So I will say, I mean, you're looking

946
00:48:32,640 --> 00:48:34,320
Speaker 1: for little things though. I mean they had him on

947
00:48:34,440 --> 00:48:37,440
Speaker 1: pump protect team yesterday when they did their special teams periods,

948
00:48:37,480 --> 00:48:40,400
Speaker 1: and that's it's the little stuff that's gonna get him

949
00:48:40,440 --> 00:48:42,120
Speaker 1: on the team more so. I mean, we know he

950
00:48:42,200 --> 00:48:44,239
Speaker 1: can go up and get the ball. We know that

951
00:48:44,600 --> 00:48:47,799
Speaker 1: it's everything else. So that seemed like a positive step

952
00:48:47,840 --> 00:48:49,480
Speaker 1: if he if he can find a way to contribute

953
00:48:49,480 --> 00:48:52,560
Speaker 1: on special heart when you look at everyone else in

954
00:48:52,640 --> 00:48:55,960
Speaker 1: the tight end group, see him make the team. I

955
00:48:57,000 --> 00:48:59,279
Speaker 1: one way or another, I don't think he'll be on

956
00:48:59,360 --> 00:49:01,840
Speaker 1: this team. That's if. And again this is just me

957
00:49:01,960 --> 00:49:05,560
Speaker 1: speculating before we even get to training camp. One way

958
00:49:05,640 --> 00:49:10,120
Speaker 1: or another. That would kind of surprise met fifty three. Yes,

959
00:49:10,480 --> 00:49:13,279
Speaker 1: but yeah, you know, if they caught him and they're like,

960
00:49:13,320 --> 00:49:14,919
Speaker 1: we'll put you on the practice squad, I think he'll

961
00:49:14,920 --> 00:49:19,799
Speaker 1: be like, no thanks, I'll try try my luck elsewhere, Mavericks, Sure,

962
00:49:20,040 --> 00:49:22,800
Speaker 1: why not? Okay, let's move on to the linebacker position.

963
00:49:22,920 --> 00:49:26,640
Speaker 1: And yesterday I saw a picture and when I see

964
00:49:26,880 --> 00:49:30,520
Speaker 1: Sean Lee, Jalen Smith, and Vanderish together, it's a good

965
00:49:30,560 --> 00:49:33,640
Speaker 1: looking trio. I mean it's like, wow, a lot of beef.

966
00:49:33,920 --> 00:49:36,920
Speaker 1: Look at this. They look good. But there's still some

967
00:49:37,080 --> 00:49:40,800
Speaker 1: concern about the whole death in that position. Jalen Smith

968
00:49:40,960 --> 00:49:43,919
Speaker 1: was playing without the brace, and it's something that people

969
00:49:43,960 --> 00:49:46,839
Speaker 1: are excited about to finally see him with that thing off.

970
00:49:48,040 --> 00:49:51,160
Speaker 1: Tell me how I mean, he's still struggling a little bit.

971
00:49:51,320 --> 00:49:53,320
Speaker 1: I think I think it's a perfect transition from what

972
00:49:53,440 --> 00:49:55,640
Speaker 1: we were just talking about. I mean, you know, if

973
00:49:55,719 --> 00:49:58,240
Speaker 1: you if you didn't know anything about the tight end position,

974
00:49:58,320 --> 00:49:59,920
Speaker 1: you just looked at the five, You're like, I'll ta

975
00:50:00,120 --> 00:50:02,759
Speaker 1: grieko please, I'll take Kim, And just the same with

976
00:50:02,840 --> 00:50:06,280
Speaker 1: the linebacker. So the looks of it is better. Vander

977
00:50:06,400 --> 00:50:09,719
Speaker 1: Esh gives you more more size there, Jaylen Smith, I

978
00:50:09,800 --> 00:50:14,880
Speaker 1: mean he he looks the three healthy. Yeah, they're healthy.

979
00:50:15,040 --> 00:50:16,960
Speaker 1: You know what Sean Lee's gonna be able to if

980
00:50:17,080 --> 00:50:19,919
Speaker 1: we were just if we were picking blind, just lying,

981
00:50:20,000 --> 00:50:22,880
Speaker 1: all ninety of them up and you're just playground style.

982
00:50:23,400 --> 00:50:27,640
Speaker 1: Jayleen Smith is the first pick, and Lee's not up

983
00:50:27,640 --> 00:50:32,000
Speaker 1: there that high. No, Sean Lee, he's one of the

984
00:50:32,080 --> 00:50:34,239
Speaker 1: best players on this team. He's incredible, but like he

985
00:50:34,360 --> 00:50:38,239
Speaker 1: doesn't he doesn't look let's terrifying, Like Jayleen Smith, let's

986
00:50:38,280 --> 00:50:41,600
Speaker 1: do that real quick. Let's play the all um off

987
00:50:41,640 --> 00:50:45,279
Speaker 1: the bus team. You're you're you get two picks the

988
00:50:45,400 --> 00:50:47,200
Speaker 1: guys you want to come off the bus first, like

989
00:50:47,320 --> 00:50:50,160
Speaker 1: oh this, this guy's ready to play my off the

990
00:50:50,200 --> 00:50:54,000
Speaker 1: bus team is Jalen Smith. Okay, let let somebody else. Okay,

991
00:50:54,560 --> 00:50:58,160
Speaker 1: I don't like this game. Is this something without one pick?

992
00:50:58,280 --> 00:51:01,759
Speaker 1: First overall? And if y'all don't get it and hold on,

993
00:51:01,920 --> 00:51:05,560
Speaker 1: hold on, okay, let's all right, what do you think?

994
00:51:05,560 --> 00:51:07,400
Speaker 1: Because I'll tell you the finalists right now. And if

995
00:51:07,520 --> 00:51:10,480
Speaker 1: Ken disagrees with me, well, I mean say, first overall

996
00:51:10,600 --> 00:51:15,839
Speaker 1: you David Irving, David Irving, David Irving. Now apparently yeah,

997
00:51:15,920 --> 00:51:19,920
Speaker 1: he's big. I mean, he's got the he's got the hair.

998
00:51:20,200 --> 00:51:25,560
Speaker 1: I disagree because it's a bus. Tyron is definitely one

999
00:51:25,600 --> 00:51:34,640
Speaker 1: of them. Jalen's one of them. Scarborough bo Scarborough for sure. Yeah, yeah,

1000
00:51:35,360 --> 00:51:39,000
Speaker 1: Connor Williams too just big. It's you can't just be big,

1001
00:51:39,120 --> 00:51:41,759
Speaker 1: you gotta look freaky like Tyrann Smith is big. But

1002
00:51:41,840 --> 00:51:44,239
Speaker 1: that's not what's scary about it that there's no fat

1003
00:51:44,320 --> 00:51:48,200
Speaker 1: on his body, Zeke. I mean the hair, the hair

1004
00:51:48,320 --> 00:51:50,400
Speaker 1: and the beard, like, well, you know what, we got

1005
00:51:50,480 --> 00:51:53,359
Speaker 1: four buses and and and we we got big guy bus.

1006
00:51:54,040 --> 00:51:56,600
Speaker 1: You know, we even got a media bus. And Shannon's

1007
00:51:56,640 --> 00:51:58,480
Speaker 1: gonna win that one for us. I mean, Shannon's off

1008
00:51:58,560 --> 00:52:01,560
Speaker 1: the bus first for us, mainly because he sits up there.

1009
00:52:01,600 --> 00:52:06,080
Speaker 1: But um, I think and we're just kind of playing

1010
00:52:06,120 --> 00:52:07,680
Speaker 1: around a little bit. But but there is something to

1011
00:52:07,760 --> 00:52:10,480
Speaker 1: it about having the look, having the size more than anything.

1012
00:52:11,000 --> 00:52:15,200
Speaker 1: Um I agree, David Irving, tyr Tyrant Smith, both Scarborough.

1013
00:52:15,280 --> 00:52:18,880
Speaker 1: Now even though Scarborough, have you seen his back? No,

1014
00:52:19,520 --> 00:52:23,919
Speaker 1: no walking around the please I don't talk behind his back. Okay,

1015
00:52:24,200 --> 00:52:28,640
Speaker 1: we're all in the locker room obviously without shirts and

1016
00:52:28,880 --> 00:52:31,960
Speaker 1: walking around. Okay, okay, and so what did you see here,

1017
00:52:32,120 --> 00:52:36,080
Speaker 1: peeping Tom? Yeah, what what do you got? No? Like,

1018
00:52:36,320 --> 00:52:40,120
Speaker 1: his back is absolutely jacked, like there's just like muscles

1019
00:52:40,160 --> 00:52:42,319
Speaker 1: on his muscles. It just doesn't look naturally. I mean,

1020
00:52:42,400 --> 00:52:46,280
Speaker 1: it's like scary, like this is a character from a movie.

1021
00:52:46,480 --> 00:52:51,080
Speaker 1: You know, it's just like not human. He's he looks

1022
00:52:51,080 --> 00:52:53,160
Speaker 1: like a line. No, I didn't see that. Actually, okay,

1023
00:52:53,200 --> 00:52:56,000
Speaker 1: I got doing interviews, but you're wearing the locker room then.

1024
00:52:56,080 --> 00:52:58,759
Speaker 1: I was doing interviews actually talking to people's I want

1025
00:52:58,800 --> 00:53:01,160
Speaker 1: to finish. I want to finish your point, which you know.

1026
00:53:01,760 --> 00:53:04,200
Speaker 1: Somebody asked us about Michael Kendricks today the Eagles just

1027
00:53:04,360 --> 00:53:07,959
Speaker 1: released him. Just one person asked about that. A few

1028
00:53:08,480 --> 00:53:11,160
Speaker 1: you but I mean, I mean, okay, you never know

1029
00:53:11,280 --> 00:53:14,040
Speaker 1: what's going to happen. You would expect injuries and things

1030
00:53:14,120 --> 00:53:17,560
Speaker 1: like that. But all I feel about as good about

1031
00:53:17,600 --> 00:53:20,080
Speaker 1: the linebackers as you could ask me to. Right now.

1032
00:53:20,360 --> 00:53:23,319
Speaker 1: What's his deal? What's kendricks his deal? You got cut

1033
00:53:23,520 --> 00:53:27,759
Speaker 1: mainly for money reasons? I mean, don't ask Brian, but

1034
00:53:27,880 --> 00:53:31,239
Speaker 1: see I don't. I don't see it mainly, Okay, Mike,

1035
00:53:31,360 --> 00:53:33,840
Speaker 1: Michael Kendricks is good enough to start somewhere, And the

1036
00:53:33,920 --> 00:53:36,880
Speaker 1: Cowboys aren't interested in that. They wouldn't. They're not doing that.

1037
00:53:36,960 --> 00:53:39,200
Speaker 1: They got guys they feel good about. Yeah. The thing

1038
00:53:39,280 --> 00:53:44,680
Speaker 1: about about that is he seems to just be awesome

1039
00:53:44,719 --> 00:53:47,400
Speaker 1: against the cowboys. Yes, he's a cowboy killer. I mean

1040
00:53:47,560 --> 00:53:50,719
Speaker 1: every time they play him, it's just one playoff for

1041
00:53:50,840 --> 00:53:55,160
Speaker 1: another sideline to sideline, and you know, because he get

1042
00:53:55,239 --> 00:53:57,680
Speaker 1: hurt a lot. I don't know. I don't know exactly.

1043
00:53:57,840 --> 00:53:59,600
Speaker 1: I think the main reason he got cut was money

1044
00:53:59,640 --> 00:54:01,160
Speaker 1: more than anything else. But I mean, you got you

1045
00:54:01,239 --> 00:54:03,759
Speaker 1: got three that you hope can start. Three to play two,

1046
00:54:03,880 --> 00:54:06,840
Speaker 1: three to play, four to play three. Joe Thomas is

1047
00:54:07,200 --> 00:54:10,880
Speaker 1: kicking ass that. I did have a conversation with somebody

1048
00:54:10,920 --> 00:54:13,880
Speaker 1: on the football side about him. He was like he

1049
00:54:14,040 --> 00:54:16,200
Speaker 1: had like two picks in the first ota of the year.

1050
00:54:16,280 --> 00:54:19,440
Speaker 1: Like I feel good about that, dude. And the contract

1051
00:54:19,480 --> 00:54:22,560
Speaker 1: here for Damian Wilson. I just but we we've seen

1052
00:54:22,920 --> 00:54:26,360
Speaker 1: that before. We're contract year. Yeah, you might see, you

1053
00:54:26,480 --> 00:54:29,520
Speaker 1: might get a little bit of improvement. I just there's

1054
00:54:29,560 --> 00:54:32,080
Speaker 1: got to be a team that needs linebackers more than

1055
00:54:32,160 --> 00:54:34,920
Speaker 1: this team who's like Michael Kendricks come start for us,

1056
00:54:35,000 --> 00:54:41,120
Speaker 1: whereas we're like, well the Villanova kid too, Shockley Maybe Okay,

1057
00:54:41,520 --> 00:54:44,560
Speaker 1: I'm I gotta do some more homework on my undraft again.

1058
00:54:44,600 --> 00:54:49,719
Speaker 1: And Iowa State Joel Landing sure you know, oh sure? Yeah. Uh.

1059
00:54:50,239 --> 00:54:53,080
Speaker 1: Shockley is the guy that just just production just tackles

1060
00:54:53,440 --> 00:54:55,600
Speaker 1: off the chart. Tackles for three years, not just one.

1061
00:54:55,760 --> 00:54:57,920
Speaker 1: I mean, it's got to translate to the field. But

1062
00:54:58,600 --> 00:55:02,399
Speaker 1: in May, I feel fine about the linebackers. But from

1063
00:55:02,520 --> 00:55:06,759
Speaker 1: what you watched yesterday and we know Jalen is still

1064
00:55:06,800 --> 00:55:10,600
Speaker 1: a question mark there his whole performance on the field

1065
00:55:10,600 --> 00:55:12,680
Speaker 1: from what you got to see yesterday, him being off

1066
00:55:12,719 --> 00:55:15,160
Speaker 1: the brace, how what are some of the things that

1067
00:55:15,239 --> 00:55:18,600
Speaker 1: he still needs to improve on on the way he moves?

1068
00:55:19,480 --> 00:55:22,080
Speaker 1: Lateral mobility is always going to be the thing with him.

1069
00:55:22,239 --> 00:55:23,879
Speaker 1: I mean, it's great that he doesn't have the brace,

1070
00:55:23,960 --> 00:55:26,719
Speaker 1: but he's still got to prove that he can do that.

1071
00:55:26,800 --> 00:55:28,480
Speaker 1: And then and then you know, his instincts too. I

1072
00:55:28,560 --> 00:55:31,280
Speaker 1: feel like, you know, I'm gonna steal a phrase from Brian,

1073
00:55:31,400 --> 00:55:33,920
Speaker 1: like he guesses a lot, Like if he gets it,

1074
00:55:34,080 --> 00:55:36,120
Speaker 1: then he'll blow the play up. But he's he was

1075
00:55:36,200 --> 00:55:37,920
Speaker 1: wrong a lot last year too, So I mean, he's

1076
00:55:37,920 --> 00:55:40,279
Speaker 1: got to work on that. But the ability to like

1077
00:55:40,480 --> 00:55:42,680
Speaker 1: diagnose something that's going on on the other side of

1078
00:55:42,719 --> 00:55:45,200
Speaker 1: the field and get over there with his history with

1079
00:55:45,280 --> 00:55:47,560
Speaker 1: his injury, that's going to be the thing. But that's

1080
00:55:48,040 --> 00:55:50,800
Speaker 1: what intrigues me so much about him is I'm not

1081
00:55:50,920 --> 00:55:52,440
Speaker 1: looking at him as a guy who's going to play

1082
00:55:52,520 --> 00:55:54,920
Speaker 1: fifty or sixty snaps at middle linebacker this year. I

1083
00:55:54,960 --> 00:55:56,520
Speaker 1: think he's going to play a little bit of Mike

1084
00:55:57,040 --> 00:55:59,920
Speaker 1: maybe in run situations where he really only has to

1085
00:56:00,120 --> 00:56:02,360
Speaker 1: worry about coming downhill. I think he's gonna play a

1086
00:56:02,400 --> 00:56:05,959
Speaker 1: little bit of Sam. I'm super excited. And Brian wrote

1087
00:56:05,960 --> 00:56:08,319
Speaker 1: about this in his notebook yesterday. You can go read

1088
00:56:08,360 --> 00:56:10,880
Speaker 1: about it. He was doing pass rush stuff yesterday. I

1089
00:56:11,000 --> 00:56:13,840
Speaker 1: think if they commit to it, I think Jalen Smith

1090
00:56:13,920 --> 00:56:16,720
Speaker 1: could be like a guy with five or six sacks

1091
00:56:16,800 --> 00:56:19,040
Speaker 1: if they wanted him to be. I mean, for him,

1092
00:56:19,520 --> 00:56:21,600
Speaker 1: to me, it's just it's just if he doesn't, I

1093
00:56:21,640 --> 00:56:23,239
Speaker 1: want to see what happens when he has to run

1094
00:56:23,320 --> 00:56:26,160
Speaker 1: more than ten yards. I mean, we have a real

1095
00:56:26,239 --> 00:56:28,440
Speaker 1: gallop on the team now, but we've had one for

1096
00:56:28,760 --> 00:56:30,400
Speaker 1: you know, last year as well, the way he kind

1097
00:56:30,440 --> 00:56:32,560
Speaker 1: of had that little hitch in his run. If that's

1098
00:56:32,600 --> 00:56:34,520
Speaker 1: gone and it seems like it kind of is, I

1099
00:56:34,600 --> 00:56:37,200
Speaker 1: think you're gonna see a bunch better player. I agree

1100
00:56:37,239 --> 00:56:39,000
Speaker 1: with that, but I guess my point is too, is

1101
00:56:39,280 --> 00:56:42,000
Speaker 1: you can kind of tailor what he does to where

1102
00:56:42,640 --> 00:56:45,319
Speaker 1: you're not asking him to run distances like that. I mean,

1103
00:56:45,400 --> 00:56:48,560
Speaker 1: you know, go get the quarterback or plug this running off.

1104
00:56:48,600 --> 00:56:51,160
Speaker 1: Its coordinators figure that out and then they make him

1105
00:56:51,239 --> 00:56:54,600
Speaker 1: go run for sure. So we saw it a couple

1106
00:56:54,640 --> 00:56:56,680
Speaker 1: of times where he just didn't have that speed when

1107
00:56:56,760 --> 00:56:59,120
Speaker 1: when the play broke down to go get him. And

1108
00:56:59,239 --> 00:57:02,080
Speaker 1: I he's vowed that he's going to be a better

1109
00:57:02,160 --> 00:57:05,080
Speaker 1: player than he was at Notre Dame, and he I mean,

1110
00:57:05,920 --> 00:57:09,000
Speaker 1: he's the I've said this, he's the most optimistic person

1111
00:57:09,040 --> 00:57:11,160
Speaker 1: in the history of the world. So I can't I

1112
00:57:11,280 --> 00:57:14,160
Speaker 1: can't take him at face value. I hope it's true. Yeah, um,

1113
00:57:14,640 --> 00:57:17,400
Speaker 1: but I have a good feeling about him between the

1114
00:57:17,520 --> 00:57:19,840
Speaker 1: different ways you can use him, and he's another year

1115
00:57:19,920 --> 00:57:22,800
Speaker 1: removed from that. It doesn't matter who you are when

1116
00:57:22,880 --> 00:57:25,560
Speaker 1: something when a first round pick is drafted at your position,

1117
00:57:26,320 --> 00:57:29,680
Speaker 1: then it's gonna get your attention. It just it just is.

1118
00:57:29,760 --> 00:57:32,680
Speaker 1: If Jalen Smith was everything they wanted him to be

1119
00:57:33,560 --> 00:57:36,280
Speaker 1: right now, they wouldn't have drafted drafted in the first round.

1120
00:57:36,280 --> 00:57:38,120
Speaker 1: They need a linebacker in the second round or whatever.

1121
00:57:38,560 --> 00:57:41,120
Speaker 1: But it's a good point, I think. And it doesn't

1122
00:57:41,120 --> 00:57:44,360
Speaker 1: mean it's an animosity. It just means, like, hey watch this,

1123
00:57:44,600 --> 00:57:47,520
Speaker 1: Whitten did it for years Witten. They drafted second round

1124
00:57:47,560 --> 00:57:51,080
Speaker 1: tight ends and it fueled him. So now we since

1125
00:57:51,120 --> 00:57:54,880
Speaker 1: we started kind of late, hand hold on Ken, don't

1126
00:57:54,920 --> 00:57:59,080
Speaker 1: get us soft yet. Wow, we we got like two

1127
00:57:59,160 --> 00:58:03,160
Speaker 1: minutes less. I'm not done, huh. I just wanted to

1128
00:58:03,200 --> 00:58:05,600
Speaker 1: go around the room real quick. Who was your rookie

1129
00:58:05,840 --> 00:58:08,680
Speaker 1: standout from yesterday? Because people are asking about that. Who

1130
00:58:08,720 --> 00:58:11,360
Speaker 1: stood out to you yesterday? I know the rookies. Uh

1131
00:58:11,480 --> 00:58:14,640
Speaker 1: probably My answer is just gonna keep being Connor because

1132
00:58:14,720 --> 00:58:17,080
Speaker 1: I mean he's getting all the opportunities with the ones

1133
00:58:17,160 --> 00:58:19,440
Speaker 1: he's I mean, he's the starting left guard. He just is,

1134
00:58:19,600 --> 00:58:22,000
Speaker 1: and so he gets to do that, and he looked

1135
00:58:22,120 --> 00:58:26,040
Speaker 1: good and so yeah, yeah, and this this still very

1136
00:58:26,120 --> 00:58:28,480
Speaker 1: early and there's only a few positions that you can

1137
00:58:28,520 --> 00:58:30,919
Speaker 1: really see some stuff. But I do like the zip

1138
00:58:31,000 --> 00:58:34,160
Speaker 1: that Mike White brings there. He's still let's see what

1139
00:58:34,280 --> 00:58:36,880
Speaker 1: happens when the when you know, getting in the games

1140
00:58:36,960 --> 00:58:38,840
Speaker 1: and stuff like that. But I do like the way

1141
00:58:38,880 --> 00:58:41,240
Speaker 1: he throws the ball, especially on an ounce. So he's

1142
00:58:41,240 --> 00:58:43,320
Speaker 1: a guy that seems like he can make all the throws.

1143
00:58:43,760 --> 00:58:46,640
Speaker 1: Um and that's that's a good start for him. All right,

1144
00:58:46,800 --> 00:58:49,000
Speaker 1: can't hit it now? We can? Now we can hit

1145
00:58:49,080 --> 00:58:53,760
Speaker 1: it for Ken Garrison, David Hallman and Bergerci see you

1146
00:58:53,840 --> 00:58:57,960
Speaker 1: guys next time. Aren't the brain. This has been a
