No, you're absolutely right. No, 0:00:48.520 --> 0:00:51.720 he's just busy, busy man. But you know, I'm gonna 0:00:51.760 --> 0:00:54.760 be three best friends that or anybody could have.

You know. 0:00:57.800 --> 0:01:01.280 I just didn't think about it, like, Okay, I gotta 0:01:01.320 --> 0:01:02.760 go and do the show. He's over there in his 0:01:02.840 --> 0:01:04.959 office talking to me. Yeah. I was like, hey, Derek, 0:01:05.000 --> 0:01:06.560 we're at eleven today, right, And he was like, I'm 0:01:06.600 --> 0:01:08.959 not doing it. But yeah, I think so, And he 0:01:09.000 --> 0:01:11.560 didn't look busy to me. I mean, well, well, we're 0:01:11.560 --> 0:01:13.920 gonna be fine without him. I'm gonna be running the 0:01:13.920 --> 0:01:17.000 show today, or try to. But to all those haters 0:01:17.000 --> 0:01:21.360 out there, just chill out. Derek and not Derek. Derek 0:01:21.520 --> 0:01:24.640 is not here whatever, But Nickiman and David Hellman are 0:01:24.680 --> 0:01:27.240 still here, ready to bring the fire today. How are 0:01:27.280 --> 0:01:30.200 you guys doing. I'm doing great, I'm even better at that. 0:01:30.640 --> 0:01:33.240 Looking at you haters, well, I mean you got Terrence 0:01:33.280 --> 0:01:37.000 Williams here a host in the show's true out the Yeah, 0:01:37.040 --> 0:01:39.120 I mean, you guys don't need to go anywhere. Just 0:01:39.240 --> 0:01:42.399 chill for today's show. You guys are still here, Nick 0:01:42.480 --> 0:01:45.119 and Dave ready to bring it. So let's start off 0:01:45.280 --> 0:01:48.480 talking about OTAs first week. We did get to see 0:01:48.560 --> 0:01:52.400 practice yesterday, Let's talk about the ones that did not 0:01:52.480 --> 0:01:56.160 get to practice. Malie Collins out, you know, recovering from 0:01:56.200 --> 0:02:00.720 the injury, David Irving, they decided to see that kind 0:02:00.720 --> 0:02:04.000 of Yeah, I didn't really quite get the reason why. 0:02:04.160 --> 0:02:07.440 Trying to get in physical condition. I mean, I'm glad 0:02:07.480 --> 0:02:10.040 you brought that up. Yeah, well, okay, so Belle Collins, 0:02:10.120 --> 0:02:14.240 Terrence Williams or hurt. Sean Lee is Sean Lee, and 0:02:14.320 --> 0:02:17.000 he's he's kind of Tony Romo of the modern era 0:02:17.120 --> 0:02:18.880 now is like you don't need to be out there. 0:02:19.000 --> 0:02:22.000 We don't need to riskue and DeMarcus Lawrence, I think 0:02:22.120 --> 0:02:23.840 is kind of the same thing as like whatever, you 0:02:24.280 --> 0:02:29.760 stay safe. Uh David Irving, though, I mean Garrett basically 0:02:30.000 --> 0:02:33.640 called him fat yesterday. I mean right, yeah, he I 0:02:33.639 --> 0:02:35.760 mean he said, well, that's the thing, like we get 0:02:35.800 --> 0:02:37.600 to see these players and we don't. I don't need 0:02:37.720 --> 0:02:40.680 Jason Garrett to tell me that right now he's too fat? 0:02:40.919 --> 0:02:45.600 Thank you? Bill Um. Yeah, I thought he was. He 0:02:45.680 --> 0:02:49.320 came back a little, you know, chunkier for a reason. Well, 0:02:49.720 --> 0:02:53.399 I mean he would be a good one, husky importly awards, 0:02:53.440 --> 0:02:56.560 we should three play. You're right, I mean, I'm not 0:02:56.600 --> 0:02:59.360 trying to criticize a pro athlete for being overweight. I 0:02:59.360 --> 0:03:01.000 would not like out of something because he's got an 0:03:01.080 --> 0:03:04.920 as Yeah, the drops are coming fast and curious today. No, 0:03:05.000 --> 0:03:07.160 but I mean, you know, usual when Jason Garrett gets 0:03:07.240 --> 0:03:09.320 up there and he's like, well he's he's got a foot, 0:03:09.600 --> 0:03:12.080 uh he you know something, he's dealing with something, blah 0:03:12.080 --> 0:03:15.360 blah blah. But Jason Garrett was just like he's working 0:03:15.360 --> 0:03:18.320 his way back into shape, which you know, the offseason 0:03:18.360 --> 0:03:22.160 program started a month ago, and Captain's workhouse started before that, 0:03:22.200 --> 0:03:25.120 and David Irvings has been here for at least part 0:03:25.160 --> 0:03:27.079 of that, if not the whole thing, Like he's been 0:03:27.080 --> 0:03:32.119 in the building since March, I would guess. So it's interesting, 0:03:32.280 --> 0:03:35.400 interesting that that's a problem for him. And you know, 0:03:35.720 --> 0:03:39.440 Garrett is very calculated in his words, so for him 0:03:39.480 --> 0:03:41.960 to say something like that, yeah, kind of like a 0:03:41.960 --> 0:03:45.480 little spur, like, Hey, I'm not super thrilled that you 0:03:45.520 --> 0:03:48.000 can't practice right now, big guy. That's kind of how 0:03:48.040 --> 0:03:50.880 I took it. Probably probably no different than than what 0:03:51.000 --> 0:03:53.320 it's always been in years past. You know, I say 0:03:53.320 --> 0:03:56.360 this all the time. We see guys working out a 0:03:56.400 --> 0:03:58.160 little bit, you know, through the windows, we see him 0:03:58.200 --> 0:04:00.280 in the training table. We never had that before Forward 0:04:00.360 --> 0:04:02.520 Valley Ranch, and so I'm sure there were plenty of 0:04:02.600 --> 0:04:05.880 guys that came in in March April May and you're like, uh, 0:04:06.120 --> 0:04:09.080 looks a little different or bigger than he did or whatever. 0:04:09.120 --> 0:04:12.040 We're just getting to see them more, see them practice more. Yeah, 0:04:12.280 --> 0:04:16.240 this is a normal you know transition for for you 0:04:16.279 --> 0:04:19.200 know when these players in the offseason and how they 0:04:19.240 --> 0:04:22.320 get their bodies ready to play. Now, Terrence Williams, he 0:04:22.480 --> 0:04:25.080 was out with an injury, but he did get arrested 0:04:25.200 --> 0:04:27.880 this past weekend, and we don't need to get into 0:04:27.920 --> 0:04:31.560 all the details. Lead right there, Nick, you wrote a 0:04:31.600 --> 0:04:34.400 story about it. Jason Garrett didn't really comment much on 0:04:34.480 --> 0:04:37.239 it yesterday, kind of saying that the team is still 0:04:37.279 --> 0:04:40.040 investigating the case, but a lot of fans want to know. 0:04:40.640 --> 0:04:43.080 Is this something that would lead to the team possibly 0:04:43.120 --> 0:04:48.120 cutting him? Um, I can't get over the delivery right there, 0:04:48.200 --> 0:04:52.800 just held out did get arrested. It's it's perfect. It's 0:04:52.839 --> 0:04:55.280 the it's the modern age, you know. I you know, 0:04:55.520 --> 0:04:58.400 I like sometimes I'm not criticizing the boss, but like 0:04:58.680 --> 0:05:01.039 Derek all act like just because we haven't talked about 0:05:01.040 --> 0:05:03.200 it on the show means like nobody knows about it, 0:05:03.200 --> 0:05:05.680 you know. But I mean it's Thursday. He got arrested 0:05:05.720 --> 0:05:08.520 on Saturday. Everybody knows what happened to him. So she 0:05:08.600 --> 0:05:11.400 asked me, is he gonna people want to know? I 0:05:11.440 --> 0:05:13.920 get a lot of questions, is this a reason that 0:05:13.960 --> 0:05:18.360 I could possibly lead to the team cutting him? Actually? 0:05:18.560 --> 0:05:20.920 I think right now, as it stands, and of course 0:05:20.960 --> 0:05:23.400 things can also change, and we've seen actually in the 0:05:23.440 --> 0:05:25.840 last year that the commissioner will do his own thing 0:05:25.880 --> 0:05:30.240 when it comes to suspension. So so yeah, you know 0:05:30.279 --> 0:05:32.800 he's got his own agenda there, which is fine, he's 0:05:32.839 --> 0:05:37.120 the commission I don't think it will because I don't 0:05:37.120 --> 0:05:41.640 think he's gonna get suspended. If he gets suspended by 0:05:41.680 --> 0:05:46.880 the NFL, that affects his guarantees. The guarantees affect how 0:05:46.920 --> 0:05:49.280 important his role is and how much you want to 0:05:49.360 --> 0:05:52.280 keep him on the team. So if that happens, that's 0:05:52.279 --> 0:05:55.279 a domino that will start to change some other things. 0:05:55.600 --> 0:05:58.039 As it stands. Right now, he's a guy that's coming 0:05:58.040 --> 0:06:01.640 off of a foot injury. He broken foot. Um, he'll 0:06:01.880 --> 0:06:04.080 he should be able to play, I would. I would 0:06:04.080 --> 0:06:06.719 think he'd be ready at some point in training camp, 0:06:07.200 --> 0:06:11.120 if not the start, then earlier, I mean, broken enough, 0:06:11.200 --> 0:06:13.800 I would. I would think the goal would be to 0:06:13.839 --> 0:06:16.080 maybe get him in for that third preseason game, and 0:06:16.200 --> 0:06:17.920 you know that that might be a decent goal. If 0:06:17.960 --> 0:06:21.920 not that this the regular season opener, he's still one 0:06:21.960 --> 0:06:24.800 of your top receivers on the team. And then the 0:06:24.880 --> 0:06:28.719 injury and the arrest really don't affect that right now. Yeah, 0:06:28.760 --> 0:06:31.200 there's not a lot of track record that suggests that 0:06:31.279 --> 0:06:33.440 anything's going to happen to him. I mean, Nolan Carroll 0:06:33.480 --> 0:06:36.600 actually got hit for DWI this time last year, which 0:06:36.680 --> 0:06:40.280 Terrence did not. That was not the charge and he 0:06:40.360 --> 0:06:44.159 wasn't suspended. And then you know the thing I feel like, 0:06:44.160 --> 0:06:46.080 and I know we've talked about it, but people forget 0:06:46.120 --> 0:06:48.479 this is like the way terrence is deal is structured 0:06:49.040 --> 0:06:51.719 is not only do you not save any money to 0:06:51.839 --> 0:06:54.839 cut him, but you have to. I mean you're basically 0:06:54.880 --> 0:06:57.440 you're losing money, Like you're paying money to get rid 0:06:57.480 --> 0:07:01.120 of him, which is dumb when you consider that he's 0:07:01.160 --> 0:07:04.320 your most experienced Cowboys receiver. You've got to be a 0:07:04.320 --> 0:07:07.799 really bad player and or a bad locker room guy. 0:07:07.960 --> 0:07:11.320 And and you know Terrence knows this. I mean, Terrence 0:07:11.320 --> 0:07:14.000 has just been the whipping boy for fans all that, 0:07:14.160 --> 0:07:18.040 you know, I mean, for various reasons. But he's not 0:07:18.120 --> 0:07:21.280 that bad of a player to pay to have him gone. 0:07:22.040 --> 0:07:24.120 There's only been a few guys like that that you're like, 0:07:24.120 --> 0:07:26.200 we gotta get this guy out of here. Yeah he's 0:07:26.200 --> 0:07:29.560 not in that. No, No, not at all. And yeah, 0:07:29.600 --> 0:07:32.000 like you I mean, anything could happened, but I'd be surprised. 0:07:32.080 --> 0:07:34.080 I would be surprised if anything happened to him on 0:07:34.080 --> 0:07:37.480 a disciplinary front from the NFL. I mean, and I 0:07:37.480 --> 0:07:39.960 would be surprised if he wasn't on this team. Now, 0:07:40.000 --> 0:07:43.640 another guy that was highlighted yesterday was Sach Martin. He 0:07:43.800 --> 0:07:46.960 wasn't He didn't practice, and not that he needs to 0:07:46.960 --> 0:07:51.520 practice Sack Martin. It is what it is. But again, 0:07:51.560 --> 0:07:53.800 the team is trying to figure out the whole contract. 0:07:53.840 --> 0:07:56.160 As far as we know, both the team and SAG 0:07:56.640 --> 0:08:01.200 are wanting him to be here. Loan to what is 0:08:01.200 --> 0:08:03.120 going on with a contract right now. Let Dave take 0:08:03.200 --> 0:08:04.960 this because you had a hot opinion on the on 0:08:05.000 --> 0:08:07.000 the field of the day, maybe because it was hot, 0:08:07.040 --> 0:08:09.040 but also it was a good hot take. Would you 0:08:09.080 --> 0:08:10.960 talk about how I don't think he should practice at 0:08:11.000 --> 0:08:14.800 all or which part I got. I'd say a lot 0:08:14.800 --> 0:08:19.120 of reckless stuff. I know, Oh oh, I was half kidding, 0:08:19.120 --> 0:08:21.880 but I said I wouldn't be surprised if the Cowboys 0:08:21.960 --> 0:08:24.160 kind of were like, yeah, set this out. You know, 0:08:24.280 --> 0:08:26.240 you don't need to be out here. We're working on 0:08:26.280 --> 0:08:29.560 your contract. I mean every time, you know, when I 0:08:29.600 --> 0:08:32.240 think about Zach Martin. I think about Sean Lee. Zach 0:08:32.320 --> 0:08:34.280 Martin was part of the play that tore Shawn Lee's 0:08:34.280 --> 0:08:38.439 acl and OTAs in twenty fourteen, certainly wouldn't want something 0:08:38.480 --> 0:08:41.800 like that to happen to Zach, who is arguably the 0:08:41.800 --> 0:08:45.280 best player on this entire team, um, so most consistent. Probably, 0:08:45.400 --> 0:08:48.240 I don't know, I don't I don't think the Cowboys 0:08:48.280 --> 0:08:50.680 actually said that to him, But like I doubt anybody's 0:08:50.720 --> 0:08:52.960 losing a ton of sleep that he's not out there. Yeah, 0:08:53.000 --> 0:08:56.600 and just kind of a weird ironic move, I guess, 0:08:56.640 --> 0:09:00.840 maybe just coincidence. But you know, we didn't exact anybody 0:09:00.880 --> 0:09:05.240 to be in that locker at the Star. In the 0:09:05.240 --> 0:09:08.000 locker room, they kind of you know, it's just all 0:09:08.120 --> 0:09:11.040 Jason Garrett here where you know, the the corners of 0:09:11.080 --> 0:09:14.880 the locker room or your cornerstones of the team. And 0:09:15.400 --> 0:09:18.600 you know, it was Deaz, it was it was Romo, 0:09:18.840 --> 0:09:24.320 it was Fatten, okay, but whatever, Tyrman, Smith, Dan Bailey 0:09:24.400 --> 0:09:27.920 and whitn Andes of course had had this one spot there, 0:09:28.320 --> 0:09:32.080 um and now with him gone, Zach Martin moved there. 0:09:32.080 --> 0:09:34.760 Which the shocking part there is how Martin and Frederick 0:09:34.800 --> 0:09:37.600 are not like side by side. I know, so it 0:09:37.720 --> 0:09:40.600 was zac now Zach Martin's locker and he wasn't there either, 0:09:40.760 --> 0:09:43.959 so but I actually I don't think it's coincidental, and 0:09:44.040 --> 0:09:45.520 I take it as a very good like And I 0:09:45.520 --> 0:09:47.760 don't get the impression people feel this way, but just 0:09:47.800 --> 0:09:50.320 in case you do, like, I just don't think this 0:09:50.360 --> 0:09:53.880 is an acrimonious situation. I mean, I think Zach Martin 0:09:53.920 --> 0:09:55.880 has had conversations with the team about this, Like, I 0:09:55.880 --> 0:09:58.160 don't think they were surprised that he didn't come. I 0:09:58.200 --> 0:10:00.599 don't think this is shock in any way. And I 0:10:00.640 --> 0:10:03.280 don't think there's any bad blood that the best guard 0:10:03.280 --> 0:10:06.240 in football's trying to get his contract, And I think 0:10:06.280 --> 0:10:09.280 that's evidenced by the fact that they did something, you know, 0:10:09.559 --> 0:10:13.160 that gesture of putting him in that locker of mister cowboy, 0:10:13.280 --> 0:10:17.400 mister modern cowboy. At least, I think that says a 0:10:17.440 --> 0:10:19.120 lot of good things. I mean, I think they expect 0:10:19.200 --> 0:10:20.520 him to be here for a long time. I think 0:10:20.559 --> 0:10:22.480 he expects to be here for a long time. The 0:10:22.520 --> 0:10:24.959 fact that he's trying to get his contract situation settled 0:10:25.000 --> 0:10:27.520 doesn't change that at all. And this is just another 0:10:27.559 --> 0:10:31.720 time to point out that holdout and this isn't even 0:10:31.760 --> 0:10:34.000 hold out because it's volunteer. It's not a holdout, but 0:10:34.280 --> 0:10:37.320 a lot of people categorize it as that a holdout 0:10:37.440 --> 0:10:41.720 is not a holdout until you start missing significant significant money. 0:10:41.840 --> 0:10:44.000 A game check. Yeah, I mean getting fined here and 0:10:44.040 --> 0:10:46.280 there that. Yeah, that's a big deal when you miss 0:10:46.280 --> 0:10:48.920 a game check. It's just funny how the deals always 0:10:49.200 --> 0:10:51.880 tend to happen that Saturday before that first game. I'll 0:10:51.960 --> 0:10:54.319 be which it won't go that far. Well, that's I'm 0:10:54.360 --> 0:10:57.199 interested to see because I you know, talking to people 0:10:57.320 --> 0:11:00.320 around yesterday, like a lot of people think that this 0:11:00.800 --> 0:11:03.760 you know, this action him missing OTAs will be enough 0:11:03.800 --> 0:11:06.080 to get a deal done by June, which i'll or 0:11:06.160 --> 0:11:08.600 you know, by by the end of the offseason program, 0:11:08.600 --> 0:11:10.960 I should say, I'll be interested to see that. And 0:11:11.040 --> 0:11:13.120 if it doesn't happen, I'll be interested to see if 0:11:13.160 --> 0:11:17.040 he misses the mandatory June practices. When when did Lyle 0:11:17.120 --> 0:11:20.600 Collins get his deal? What month? Uh, we were at 0:11:20.679 --> 0:11:24.240 camp August? Yeah? What month did Travis Frederick August? What 0:11:24.320 --> 0:11:26.560 month to Tyrn Smith? Technically I think it was July, 0:11:26.679 --> 0:11:29.840 but it was like July thirtieth, training camp. Yeah, but see, 0:11:29.880 --> 0:11:33.760 I'll play old line. Yeah, I'll be I'll be interested, 0:11:35.760 --> 0:11:39.520 thank you. When they do deals. I wonder though, I 0:11:39.559 --> 0:11:43.280 wonder if they've been talking about doing this dude's freaking 0:11:43.400 --> 0:11:46.079 deal since for like it feels like five years. He 0:11:46.120 --> 0:11:48.920 hasn't even been on the team that long. Um, did 0:11:48.960 --> 0:11:51.840 I get my deal with the Cowboys August? I mean, 0:11:52.120 --> 0:11:57.120 I wonder they do it in Augustus. I wonder if 0:11:57.160 --> 0:12:01.360 this nudge in the right direction will prompt them to 0:12:01.400 --> 0:12:03.240 do it sooner than that, just like, hey, all right, 0:12:03.320 --> 0:12:06.240 let's And I'm not privy to this stuff. I don't 0:12:06.280 --> 0:12:09.760 handle the cap I'm not educated on a high level, 0:12:10.280 --> 0:12:13.199 but I just, I mean, I don't understand why it 0:12:13.240 --> 0:12:15.680 can't get done like this week. I mean, they got 0:12:15.679 --> 0:12:18.080 like ten million in cap space, they got a boatload 0:12:18.120 --> 0:12:20.160 of it coming next year, Like they should be able 0:12:20.200 --> 0:12:23.040 to structure it. Their rookies are signed, so like they 0:12:23.080 --> 0:12:27.040 don't even have to worry about that. I don't really 0:12:27.120 --> 0:12:29.400 understand what the hold up is other than just kind 0:12:29.400 --> 0:12:31.880 of like agreeing on a number, which I feel like 0:12:31.920 --> 0:12:33.320 you should be able to do that in the next 0:12:33.400 --> 0:12:36.120 three or four weeks. Well, I guess we'll wait to 0:12:36.160 --> 0:12:39.360 see when that happens. But in the meantime, yesterday filling 0:12:39.400 --> 0:12:42.960 in for him was Chas Green. So you had Tyren Smith, 0:12:43.040 --> 0:12:47.320 Connor Williams, Travis Frederick Chase, and then Lyle Collins. Ye. 0:12:47.840 --> 0:12:51.800 So Connor Williams fan favorite. Ye. What did you guys 0:12:51.840 --> 0:12:56.280 see from him? I mean, from what you saw, did 0:12:56.280 --> 0:13:01.360 you like his first involvement with the veteran Sea. I mean, 0:13:01.800 --> 0:13:03.840 I think you watch a little bit more practice than me, 0:13:03.960 --> 0:13:07.559 but but I mean I think with him, it's just 0:13:07.720 --> 0:13:09.520 it's at this stage it's not about because you're not 0:13:09.559 --> 0:13:11.640 gonna be able to use the offensive lineman can't do 0:13:11.760 --> 0:13:13.680 what they do, which is push people around. He can't 0:13:13.720 --> 0:13:15.200 do that out here, and if you do, you know, 0:13:15.440 --> 0:13:18.600 guys get hurt. But I think for the most part, 0:13:18.640 --> 0:13:21.760 it's you know, are you lining up where you're supposed 0:13:21.760 --> 0:13:23.679 to be? Are you mentally prepared to do it? And 0:13:23.760 --> 0:13:25.960 I think the dynamic too right, and I think having 0:13:26.040 --> 0:13:29.000 him out there is a good step there. I'm reluctant 0:13:29.040 --> 0:13:31.640 to compare him to Zach because Zach is a four 0:13:31.720 --> 0:13:35.599 time All Pro who at some point I assume is 0:13:35.600 --> 0:13:37.640 gonna be the highest paid guard in the league. But 0:13:38.160 --> 0:13:40.960 He reminds me of Zach in the sense that he's 0:13:41.200 --> 0:13:45.040 so athletic for a guard, and like, that's the funnest 0:13:45.080 --> 0:13:47.160 thing about watching Zack Martin play. I mean, it's fun 0:13:47.200 --> 0:13:50.160 watching him all people, but it's so fun watching him 0:13:50.160 --> 0:13:53.440 in space, Like he's so nimble and agile and like, 0:13:53.480 --> 0:13:55.880 can you know when they run screens, he can get 0:13:55.880 --> 0:13:58.319 out there and take people out of the play. Does 0:13:58.400 --> 0:14:00.360 not look like a big guy moving around, and I 0:14:00.520 --> 0:14:03.160 see that in counter Williams. I'm not saying he's gonna 0:14:03.160 --> 0:14:05.520 be as good as Zach Martin, but he's just he 0:14:05.600 --> 0:14:09.079 does not play football like a hog molly he looks. 0:14:09.360 --> 0:14:11.480 I mean, he's a super athletic dude, and I think 0:14:12.200 --> 0:14:14.800 that aspect of his game just I think could be 0:14:14.840 --> 0:14:17.360 so big for them. And you know, when you're playing 0:14:17.360 --> 0:14:20.640 in shorts, that type of stuff kind of shows stands 0:14:20.640 --> 0:14:23.320 out as like how well he moves and stuff like that. Now, 0:14:23.360 --> 0:14:26.640 today we're gonna try to hit every group on the 0:14:26.720 --> 0:14:29.200 roster of what we saw yesterday how they lined up. 0:14:29.480 --> 0:14:33.040 But before we go into break, let's talk about Ezekiel Elliott. 0:14:33.240 --> 0:14:36.040 I mean, he came back looking a little thinner, slimmed 0:14:36.040 --> 0:14:39.560 down his attitude was great in the locker room. He 0:14:39.680 --> 0:14:43.320 was very spoken in during the practice and he said 0:14:43.360 --> 0:14:46.520 that it came to He's like, well, third year, it's 0:14:46.560 --> 0:14:48.760 kind of the time for me to step up as 0:14:48.800 --> 0:14:53.120 a leader. While we're your reactions from this Ezekiel Elliott 0:14:53.120 --> 0:14:55.720 that we saw yesterday to the one that we saw 0:14:55.760 --> 0:15:00.000 at this time last year. For me, the Ezekiel Elliott 0:15:00.040 --> 0:15:05.400 that we see in the locker room has always been professional. 0:15:05.560 --> 0:15:07.360 Maybe not the time when they were doing spitballs with 0:15:07.440 --> 0:15:09.400 him and Dak, but for the most part, for the 0:15:09.400 --> 0:15:13.000 most part they He's always been a guy that kind 0:15:13.040 --> 0:15:15.520 of gets that. I think being at Ohio State, knowing that, 0:15:15.560 --> 0:15:18.960 you know, being the star. Even he stood up in 0:15:19.000 --> 0:15:21.800 front of you know, his locker or someplace in the 0:15:21.840 --> 0:15:24.360 locker room after you know, last year when he came 0:15:24.360 --> 0:15:27.680 back from suspension, answers the questions. He doesn't love it. 0:15:27.680 --> 0:15:29.440 It's okay, he doesn't have to love it, but he 0:15:29.520 --> 0:15:31.600 does his job. And I'd rather a guy to stand 0:15:31.680 --> 0:15:33.760 up there and say, hey, I'll face the music, and 0:15:34.840 --> 0:15:37.000 he does that. So I And as far as being 0:15:37.040 --> 0:15:40.040 a leader, I think I think him and Dak have 0:15:40.240 --> 0:15:42.680 talked about this. They have to and say, we've got 0:15:42.720 --> 0:15:44.480 to do it, We've got to bring the energy. I 0:15:44.520 --> 0:15:46.680 thought it was a good question surprisingly in the press 0:15:46.720 --> 0:15:50.480 conference yesterday from who asked it about the about the 0:15:50.480 --> 0:15:53.520 the energy that Dez has, Someone's gonna have to replace that. 0:15:53.680 --> 0:15:55.560 And I think that that's gonna be a real important 0:15:55.560 --> 0:15:57.520 thing because there's gonna be dog days of camp when 0:15:57.600 --> 0:16:00.640 it's like, all right, who's bringing it today? Dez always 0:16:00.680 --> 0:16:02.920 did that, and I think that's something that Zeke and 0:16:03.000 --> 0:16:05.520 Deck and those guys that are gonna have to do. Yeah. 0:16:05.920 --> 0:16:10.160 And it'll be interesting though, because I feel like everybody 0:16:10.200 --> 0:16:12.040 in the locker room got asked about that yesterday, just 0:16:12.120 --> 0:16:15.760 kind of that. UM I wonder I don't see them 0:16:15.800 --> 0:16:17.960 showing it the same way Dez does. I don't know 0:16:18.000 --> 0:16:20.440 if anybody's capable of showing it the way it Dez does. 0:16:20.640 --> 0:16:22.880 I mean, you know, you can't guard me. You can't 0:16:22.880 --> 0:16:24.840 guard me, you can't. I don't know if you're gonna 0:16:24.920 --> 0:16:27.760 hear those outbursts from forty yards away like we were 0:16:27.840 --> 0:16:29.880 used to with Dead. I don't even know you're but 0:16:30.800 --> 0:16:34.880 one of my all time favorite des lines. But Zeke, 0:16:34.960 --> 0:16:38.280 just Zeke just has this intensity about him, and UM, 0:16:40.240 --> 0:16:42.400 I feel like there's a chip on his shoulder there 0:16:42.680 --> 0:16:44.360 and like he's not going to talk about it. He's 0:16:44.360 --> 0:16:46.640 not going to acknowledge it again. I mean, he's very 0:16:46.680 --> 0:16:48.880 professional in the sense that he always talks to us, 0:16:49.000 --> 0:16:53.640 but I never feel like it's authentic and it doesn't 0:16:53.680 --> 0:16:54.960 have to be, you know what I mean, Like it's 0:16:54.960 --> 0:16:57.080 a it's a job duty for him. He's just trying 0:16:57.080 --> 0:16:59.640 to get it out of the way. I don't begrudge 0:16:59.720 --> 0:17:03.760 him at but I think Zeke is going to hold 0:17:03.880 --> 0:17:05.600 so much of that away from us, you know what 0:17:05.600 --> 0:17:07.199 I mean, Like he doesn't want to let people in 0:17:07.280 --> 0:17:08.960 on that, but I think it's there. I think there's 0:17:08.960 --> 0:17:11.840 an take it out on the safety. Yeah, absolutely, linebacker 0:17:11.920 --> 0:17:14.600 trying to attack being or just jump over him. We'll see. 0:17:14.640 --> 0:17:17.359 All right, guys, let's take our first break.

Yesterday, Lance lanor Deonta Thompson were lined 0:19:26.960 --> 0:19:29.920 up on the outside with Allen Hurns in the slot. 0:19:30.720 --> 0:19:33.959 Thoughts a first impression of how these guys lined up. 0:19:34.160 --> 0:19:36.080 Lens Lnor, let me tell you this, this is a 0:19:36.119 --> 0:19:39.639 guy that last year and up to today until he 0:19:39.680 --> 0:19:42.280 proves me wrong, I just have not been a fan 0:19:42.600 --> 0:19:45.400 because everything that I remember from last fan of anybody? 0:19:45.640 --> 0:19:50.560 Not true false, absolutely false.

Okay, 0:19:59.280 --> 0:20:03.480 last year, everything that I saw from him were bad things, 0:20:03.520 --> 0:20:07.040 like drops after drops after drop, tell me wrong, tell 0:20:07.119 --> 0:20:09.760 me wrong? Well, no, no, he would no, he couldn't 0:20:09.800 --> 0:20:12.480 return punts. He had a he had a he had 0:20:12.520 --> 0:20:15.240 a really it's you know what. He wasn't even that 0:20:15.280 --> 0:20:18.720 bad in the preseason, but he got training camp and 0:20:18.760 --> 0:20:20.879 everything that we saw in He got a lot of 0:20:20.960 --> 0:20:24.080 hype because of how he got here, which is that 0:20:24.320 --> 0:20:26.840 the guy who puts the roster together loves him. Will 0:20:26.960 --> 0:20:30.560
