As we 0:00:53.960 --> 0:00:56.120 usually do, will start off with a little blanket coverage 0:00:56.120 --> 0:00:59.480 to get into some injuries, um and maybe a defection, 0:00:59.560 --> 0:01:02.080 I don't know. We'll see what's happening with Chris Westry 0:01:02.600 --> 0:01:04.600 and then talk a little bit about the defensive line. 0:01:05.000 --> 0:01:06.960 We're gonna go a little in depth on the defensive 0:01:07.000 --> 0:01:09.240 line today, talk about the defensive tackles and the defensive 0:01:09.319 --> 0:01:13.440 ends on this team. How's everybody feeling this morning? Great? Awesome? 0:01:13.760 --> 0:01:16.479 Grand Let's jump right in. It is an off day 0:01:16.560 --> 0:01:19.080 for the team, so they will not be practicing today, 0:01:19.400 --> 0:01:22.040 not for us, never an off day for us, and 0:01:22.440 --> 0:01:25.479 so we will so they will, they will resume practices 0:01:25.560 --> 0:01:28.800 tomorrow normal time, but today they get a little bit 0:01:28.840 --> 0:01:32.360 of rest time heading into the weekend when, by the way, 0:01:32.360 --> 0:01:35.200 on Sunday, there will be a scrimmage Blue White scrimmage, 0:01:35.240 --> 0:01:36.640 So if you guys want to check that out, we 0:01:36.640 --> 0:01:39.680 will actually stream it live across all of our platforms, 0:01:39.760 --> 0:01:43.480 Dallas Cowboys dot Com, the Cowboys Mobile app, Connect, the 0:01:43.520 --> 0:01:46.240 TV app, and for those back in Dallas, will actually 0:01:46.240 --> 0:01:50.080 be airing on CBS eleven as well, so make sure 0:01:50.120 --> 0:01:52.440 you check that out. Let's get started with a little 0:01:52.440 --> 0:01:55.920 bit of blanket coverage here first, as we do every day, 0:01:56.600 --> 0:01:58.160 I'm gonna give you guys a statement that will be 0:01:58.200 --> 0:02:00.800 a blank you feel in the blank. Let's start with 0:02:00.840 --> 0:02:03.640 the first statement. Sean Lee misspracticed for the second day 0:02:03.720 --> 0:02:08.160 due to a knee injury. My concern level is blank. 0:02:11.280 --> 0:02:16.160 I liked that left day. It's Sean Lee, you know, 0:02:16.600 --> 0:02:21.520 it just is what it is. I'm not concerned for 0:02:21.560 --> 0:02:26.680 two reasons. One because it's it's it seems like it's minor, 0:02:26.760 --> 0:02:30.399 and two because Sean Lee doesn't mean to this defensive 0:02:30.440 --> 0:02:33.639 success what he did even two years ago. So maybe 0:02:34.200 --> 0:02:37.520 I Sean Lee one of the best Cowboys players in 0:02:37.520 --> 0:02:40.320 recent memory. I think the world of him as a guy. 0:02:40.880 --> 0:02:43.160 But you know, would we be freaking out if Damien 0:02:43.200 --> 0:02:46.240 Wilson and tweaked his knee? You know, I mean so 0:02:46.440 --> 0:02:49.480 probably not. So that's kind of how I feel. I mean, 0:02:49.720 --> 0:02:53.640 you would think. I mean personally, I think I would 0:02:53.680 --> 0:02:57.240 be used to this by now, but I'm not. It 0:02:57.440 --> 0:03:00.440 still hurts me because I thought, Okay, he he was 0:03:00.520 --> 0:03:04.639 looking good. He's put on some muscle weight on him, 0:03:04.760 --> 0:03:09.480 you know, and his new role. I was expecting this 0:03:09.560 --> 0:03:13.079 to actually help him kind of maintain his health. And 0:03:13.120 --> 0:03:16.839 what they've been doing here isn't too much. I don't 0:03:16.880 --> 0:03:18.800 think we're not at that level where we had like 0:03:18.840 --> 0:03:22.079 a full week of padded practice yet. So it's still 0:03:22.160 --> 0:03:25.079 kind of a little bit of disappointment. It's not surprising, 0:03:25.200 --> 0:03:28.239 but you know, I love the guy and I want 0:03:28.240 --> 0:03:32.560 to see him on the field. Nick not concerned, well 0:03:33.200 --> 0:03:36.800 at all. They've said it best. He doesn't. He doesn't 0:03:37.000 --> 0:03:39.720 mean as much to the defense. And you know, if 0:03:39.760 --> 0:03:42.040 you say, if you say you had a hangnail out here, 0:03:41.840 --> 0:03:46.040 the trainers will hold you out, you know, And it's 0:03:46.080 --> 0:03:48.080 nothing against them. It's this is the time of year 0:03:48.120 --> 0:03:52.000 to make sure that you're you're not, you know, getting 0:03:52.080 --> 0:03:55.000 hurt anything in a major way. So where Sean Lee, 0:03:55.040 --> 0:03:58.160 everything is precautionary, So I don't think it's that big 0:03:58.200 --> 0:04:00.240 a deal, all right. Statement number two, the most row 0:04:00.320 --> 0:04:05.200 some injury on this team is blank Nick, I'm gonna 0:04:05.240 --> 0:04:13.080 say Travis Frederick. Even though he's not he's been cleared, 0:04:13.240 --> 0:04:16.560 I'm gonna still think that is probably the one. I mean, 0:04:16.600 --> 0:04:18.560 there's a reason why he's not just going right in 0:04:18.600 --> 0:04:20.719 and doing all the you know, one on ones and 0:04:20.720 --> 0:04:22.320 stuff like that. So I don't know if you want 0:04:22.320 --> 0:04:24.400 to call it an injury or not, but they're definitely 0:04:24.480 --> 0:04:26.960 being cautious with it, and I think that that he 0:04:27.360 --> 0:04:29.200 matters a lot to this team. Now. I do think 0:04:29.240 --> 0:04:31.040 Joe Looney did a nice job and we'll do a 0:04:31.120 --> 0:04:34.159 nice job as a backup, but I think Frederick takes 0:04:34.160 --> 0:04:36.880 it to another level. So I'm not worried about any 0:04:36.920 --> 0:04:39.360 of the other injuries so much. That one's the one. 0:04:39.400 --> 0:04:42.039 I think it's worth pointing out too. It's so easy 0:04:42.080 --> 0:04:45.200 to forget because you know, he came back from gian 0:04:45.320 --> 0:04:47.839 bare and it's this it's a great story, but he 0:04:47.880 --> 0:04:50.720 also had shoulder surgery and he actually said that's why 0:04:50.839 --> 0:04:52.840 he hasn't been involved in the one on ones. It's 0:04:52.880 --> 0:04:55.640 not so much because of the GBS, but you know, 0:04:55.640 --> 0:04:58.080 they're being cautious with a veteran who had shoulder surgery 0:04:58.120 --> 0:05:00.280 in the offseason, so I mean that's something to watch too. 0:05:00.360 --> 0:05:03.240 So that's the injury. So, Dave, most were some injury 0:05:03.240 --> 0:05:07.200 for you. Are we we're calling Byron and DeMarcus injured. Yeah? Yeah, 0:05:07.240 --> 0:05:10.880 they're not practicing, yeah, because they're not back from their injuries, 0:05:10.880 --> 0:05:13.000 and they're not back from their surgeries. They're not back 0:05:13.040 --> 0:05:16.120 from whatever ailed themself. I think of injuries as things 0:05:16.160 --> 0:05:18.359 that have happened since we got here. I'm saying, everybody 0:05:18.360 --> 0:05:20.320 that's out right now, if you want me to rephrase, 0:05:20.400 --> 0:05:25.440 okayout Byron Byron Jones, because like I just I you know, 0:05:25.560 --> 0:05:29.920 Tank tanks Tank. He's had shoulder injuries for like half 0:05:29.920 --> 0:05:31.719 of his career anyway, and he plays through it and 0:05:31.720 --> 0:05:34.920 he's great. And also I just feel like I'm not 0:05:34.960 --> 0:05:37.280 saying he should like wrap that dude in bubble rap, 0:05:37.360 --> 0:05:39.320 but like if they needed him out there in a week, 0:05:39.400 --> 0:05:40.880 I bet he could do it. That's just kind of 0:05:40.880 --> 0:05:44.240 how I feel. Whereas Byron, I know he was skateboarding around. 0:05:44.279 --> 0:05:46.159 He looks like he's pretty good, but it's a hip 0:05:46.279 --> 0:05:49.920 and he's a corner and that's everything to a cornerback. 0:05:50.000 --> 0:05:52.839 So I just I want to I want him to 0:05:52.880 --> 0:05:56.159 get some work out here. I hope that he does. So. Yeah, 0:05:56.560 --> 0:05:58.760 And I actually talk to him a little bit about that, 0:05:58.800 --> 0:06:00.760 and he said that he eats specs to get some 0:06:00.800 --> 0:06:04.480 work in Oxnard. Awesome. And I actually was watching him 0:06:04.480 --> 0:06:07.560 doing some drills and I just thought, Okay, this is July. 0:06:08.400 --> 0:06:12.160 We care about him playing in September, not even in August. Yet. 0:06:12.160 --> 0:06:15.000 I got a whole full month. I'm not panicking. I'm 0:06:15.040 --> 0:06:19.080 not worried he'll come back. Yeah, I would have said Travis, 0:06:19.160 --> 0:06:21.840 but right now Joe Looney looks like a badass, so 0:06:21.880 --> 0:06:25.120 I'm not that concerned. But I would go with the 0:06:25.200 --> 0:06:29.560 Marcus Lawrence, I you know right now, Yes you don't 0:06:29.560 --> 0:06:32.960 have Randy Gregory, Robert Quinn. It was a guy that 0:06:33.040 --> 0:06:36.080 I think we all had high expect It's still early, 0:06:36.240 --> 0:06:39.880 but we had, at least me having expectations of when 0:06:39.880 --> 0:06:41.880 he first came out here and kind of show a 0:06:41.920 --> 0:06:45.080 little more than what he's shown so far. Yes, he 0:06:45.120 --> 0:06:49.920 went against Tyren Smith that's Tyron, but Ken Fleming, M 0:06:50.360 --> 0:06:53.840 I mean it's still he put up a battle there, 0:06:53.880 --> 0:06:57.880 but it wasn't that impressive and tackle. We talked about him. 0:06:57.920 --> 0:07:01.479 He walked out yesterday with an injury. Actually, what was it? 0:07:01.560 --> 0:07:06.160 His back? Maybe heard taco he did, he did something 0:07:06.160 --> 0:07:08.480 small to his back. But he came out for a 0:07:08.520 --> 0:07:13.160 walk through last night. So like the position position wise 0:07:13.320 --> 0:07:17.320 right now, UM, not that excited from what I've seen 0:07:17.400 --> 0:07:21.200 so far. So I think DeMarcus Lawrence. I'm ready to 0:07:21.200 --> 0:07:23.480 see him out there and see the combination of him 0:07:23.640 --> 0:07:26.320 and Robert Quinn and see how that does. Person most 0:07:26.320 --> 0:07:31.040 likely to be absent week one is amber most likely 0:07:31.120 --> 0:07:33.120 to be out of all those guys that we've been 0:07:33.160 --> 0:07:35.640 talking about that are injured right now, the guy that 0:07:35.680 --> 0:07:38.240 you would say is most likely to be absent come 0:07:38.320 --> 0:07:45.520 week one, Uh, he is injured and he will be suspended. 0:07:48.520 --> 0:07:50.800 And there's another guy that's looking at We don't know 0:07:50.840 --> 0:07:52.720 what's going to happen with Tyron Crawford, right, I mean 0:07:53.320 --> 0:07:58.960 that is true, That is true. Um, shoot, I don't 0:07:59.560 --> 0:08:03.640 I'm trying to think of the injured guys. You know, 0:08:03.880 --> 0:08:06.600 maybe you didn't say injured guys. I just said of 0:08:07.000 --> 0:08:11.280 the guys on this team most likely to everybody Week one, 0:08:12.800 --> 0:08:17.680 get back to me, all right, Dave ze Zeke, Yeah, 0:08:17.720 --> 0:08:20.120 I think that he's He's the guy that's most likely 0:08:20.320 --> 0:08:23.720 because if he wants to make it, like you know what, 0:08:23.720 --> 0:08:26.960 we've been told by people that are that know the situation, 0:08:27.200 --> 0:08:30.240 they'll say, he doesn't have any leverage, has no leverage. Well, 0:08:30.520 --> 0:08:34.480 and they're right right now, But don't play in that 0:08:34.559 --> 0:08:37.360 game and get beat by the Giants who you shouldn't 0:08:37.360 --> 0:08:40.640 lose to at home too, and then we'll see what 0:08:40.720 --> 0:08:42.880 kind of leverage it is. I still don't think he 0:08:42.920 --> 0:08:45.840 has leverage at that point. Okay, well, because Berry just 0:08:45.880 --> 0:08:47.880 said this is this is kind of an all end season. 0:08:47.960 --> 0:08:50.880 So if I get lose games, but how long is 0:08:50.880 --> 0:08:52.400 he going to see because that's the point I don't know. 0:08:52.440 --> 0:08:55.680 Like that's the problem with with the scenario is this 0:08:55.760 --> 0:08:59.280 is not a situation where him sitting out games actually 0:08:59.320 --> 0:09:02.760 helps him because sitting out games, the Cowboys will own 0:09:02.800 --> 0:09:05.840 his rights for three seasons. He's not He's not gonna 0:09:05.880 --> 0:09:08.319 sit for three years. I disagree, though, how do you 0:09:08.360 --> 0:09:10.960 just because it's about playing, it's about winning the Super 0:09:11.040 --> 0:09:13.880 Bowl and trying to get to that goal. And what 0:09:14.240 --> 0:09:16.600 is that? How's that factor into him them owning his 0:09:16.679 --> 0:09:20.600 rights for three years, because it's not about three years 0:09:20.640 --> 0:09:22.560 that they're not coming out here, and it's talking about 0:09:22.600 --> 0:09:24.920 three years this year. No, But the point, the point 0:09:25.040 --> 0:09:27.440 is if they have his rights for three years, him 0:09:27.440 --> 0:09:29.440 sitting in missing games is only hurting him. It's not 0:09:29.520 --> 0:09:35.840 hurting it's not hurting anybody but him. Jerry. He thinks 0:09:35.840 --> 0:09:37.800 this is the best football team he's got and so 0:09:37.840 --> 0:09:40.120 if he's got a running back that's sitting there and 0:09:40.400 --> 0:09:44.440 kind of holding this team hostage, then let's let's come 0:09:44.440 --> 0:09:47.080 together like they're here. They're here, let's come together. But 0:09:47.120 --> 0:09:49.320 that's the point. I don't think that a guy who 0:09:49.360 --> 0:09:51.560 knows he can't play football but for this team for 0:09:51.559 --> 0:09:53.960 three years is gonna miss games. That's the point. He 0:09:54.040 --> 0:09:56.839 doesn't have the leverage to be able to sit because 0:09:57.040 --> 0:09:58.880 in the situation with Levon Bell, he knew that he 0:09:58.880 --> 0:10:01.760 could force their hand at some point because sitting out 0:10:01.760 --> 0:10:02.920 this year, he knew he was going to be a 0:10:02.920 --> 0:10:05.320 free agent after that. So him sitting for a year 0:10:05.679 --> 0:10:07.640 makes a lot of or makes some sense because at 0:10:07.720 --> 0:10:09.880 least he knows, no matter what, I will be a 0:10:09.880 --> 0:10:12.240 free agent after this year. Ze can't say that for 0:10:12.400 --> 0:10:17.200 three years. I just it's it's totally determined on his 0:10:17.559 --> 0:10:20.240 how much is he willing to let the world burn, Like, 0:10:20.320 --> 0:10:23.120 if he's even even at his own costs, Yeah, you're right. Yeah. 0:10:23.160 --> 0:10:26.400 If he's absolutely like, f you pay me and he 0:10:26.440 --> 0:10:29.239 wants to sit until Halloween, he can hurt the Cowboys 0:10:29.360 --> 0:10:31.720 and make them real antsy to get a deal done. 0:10:32.080 --> 0:10:34.839 But you're right. In the long term, it only he 0:10:35.280 --> 0:10:38.040 never gets that money back. He hurts his future earning value. 0:10:38.320 --> 0:10:40.680 He can't go anywhere for three years, That's why. But 0:10:40.760 --> 0:10:43.080 that's why I think the August sixth deadline means nothing 0:10:43.080 --> 0:10:45.320 to him, because he's like they they're not. I can't 0:10:45.320 --> 0:10:47.600 go anywhere anyway, So who cares if I don't accrue 0:10:47.640 --> 0:10:51.520 a year or toward free agency? So he can. He 0:10:51.679 --> 0:10:53.960 definitely he has some leverage if he's really willing to 0:10:54.000 --> 0:10:57.240 go all out, but that would mean missing anywhere between 0:10:57.280 --> 0:10:59.360 one and maybe as many as like six or seven 0:10:59.400 --> 0:11:01.160 game checks. And I don't know if he's willing to 0:11:01.160 --> 0:11:03.440 take that step. And although we all agreed this is 0:11:03.480 --> 0:11:06.640 a much better team with him on it, it could 0:11:06.640 --> 0:11:08.720 backfire on him if they should happen to win those 0:11:08.720 --> 0:11:12.920 first few games while he's out that then kills whatever, 0:11:14.360 --> 0:11:17.240 and the first three weeks of the season are set up. 0:11:17.240 --> 0:11:18.920 If you're gonna go, if you're gonna if you're gonna 0:11:18.960 --> 0:11:21.360 try to win without Zeke, you've got a great start 0:11:21.400 --> 0:11:23.760 in front of you. Yeah, and that's what what happened 0:11:23.760 --> 0:11:26.319 with with Pittsburgh. Then. Now they didn't make the playoffs, 0:11:26.440 --> 0:11:29.120 but they got kind of hot early in the year. 0:11:29.720 --> 0:11:32.559 Was James Connor, Yeah, he was playing really well and 0:11:33.200 --> 0:11:36.120 so he was like now towards the end, I think 0:11:36.120 --> 0:11:39.800 he got then they definitely missed him, but it was 0:11:39.880 --> 0:11:42.160 too late to do anything because Lebon had already made 0:11:42.200 --> 0:11:44.880 his point at that point. But so I I, yeah, 0:11:45.000 --> 0:11:47.080 it's risky, but if if you lose, you know, if 0:11:47.080 --> 0:11:49.360 they're one and two and they've lost the game and 0:11:49.640 --> 0:11:52.360 Alfred Morris is rushing for forty eight yards on twelve 0:11:52.440 --> 0:11:56.360 carries and all that stuff, like, yeah, he could he 0:11:56.400 --> 0:11:59.679 has some leverage, but only if he fully commits to this. 0:12:00.320 --> 0:12:03.040 I think, I think, honestly, this is the best leverage 0:12:03.080 --> 0:12:05.520 he's going to have, right, I don't think, I don't. 0:12:05.559 --> 0:12:07.440 I don't know if I call it great leverage, but 0:12:07.440 --> 0:12:09.560 it's the best he's gonna possibly have. He has them 0:12:09.559 --> 0:12:11.240 in a position right now where this is probably the 0:12:11.280 --> 0:12:13.400 best he's gonna This is as good as if he's 0:12:13.440 --> 0:12:15.640 willing to commit to it. Yeah. Yeah. And also like 0:12:15.920 --> 0:12:17.800 it's it's who you talk to, Like if you talk 0:12:17.880 --> 0:12:20.120 to guys that are kind of dealing with the salary 0:12:20.160 --> 0:12:23.600 cap or maybe even Stephen Jones, who's looking big picture. 0:12:24.400 --> 0:12:27.760 If you're talking to like Jerry Jones, or how about Jason, 0:12:27.400 --> 0:12:29.760 Jason is the one that's looking just like like get him, 0:12:29.760 --> 0:12:32.240 give him to me now I met him now, So yeah, 0:12:32.280 --> 0:12:34.320 it's he's got some but he's gonna have to really 0:12:34.320 --> 0:12:36.680 commit to it. Yeah, to answer your you didn't ask 0:12:36.720 --> 0:12:39.440 me yet, But I'm not. I spent a lot of 0:12:39.440 --> 0:12:42.760 the summer wringing my hands about Byron and DeMarcus, But 0:12:43.280 --> 0:12:45.360 now that I've seen him with my own eyes and 0:12:46.120 --> 0:12:48.120 kind of got a firmer grasp on where they're at, Like, 0:12:48.160 --> 0:12:51.160 I'm not that worried about any of the guys right now. 0:12:51.360 --> 0:12:54.600 You know, long way to go knock on wood, but 0:12:54.640 --> 0:12:57.720 you know something's gonna happen to somebody. So but none 0:12:57.720 --> 0:13:00.240 of the none of the real concerns right now. I 0:13:00.280 --> 0:13:02.960 think will not be there week one, So the big 0:13:02.960 --> 0:13:05.480 injury hasn't happened yet, that's what he's saying. I said, 0:13:05.559 --> 0:13:09.480 knock on wood. Yeah, but yeah, it happens. That stuff 0:13:09.520 --> 0:13:11.840 happens at training camp. You just hope that they're any 0:13:11.920 --> 0:13:14.200 major injuries, Like you're gonna get an injury. Somebody's gonna 0:13:14.200 --> 0:13:17.480 get hurt. Pretty though, there won't be anyone like carded 0:13:17.520 --> 0:13:23.400 off the field today. Oh I'm glad. Yeah. I was 0:13:23.400 --> 0:13:25.320 about to say, no one will get hurt today, but man, 0:13:25.400 --> 0:13:27.839 they're weird. Stuff happens all the time. I would say hurt, 0:13:27.920 --> 0:13:29.280 just carted off the field. That's a good way to 0:13:29.320 --> 0:13:31.400 put it. All right, let's move on. I did want 0:13:31.400 --> 0:13:33.800 to real quickly just get an update on Chris west 0:13:33.960 --> 0:13:37.120 Chris westree a little farther down the depth chart, but 0:13:37.200 --> 0:13:42.160 reports yesterday with any misspractice due to a personal issue. Yeah, 0:13:42.280 --> 0:13:45.040 it didn't sound like it didn't sound like he's around. 0:13:45.080 --> 0:13:47.280 But what are you guys hearing about him and where 0:13:47.320 --> 0:13:49.600 he is right now, and and if that really even 0:13:49.640 --> 0:13:51.640 makes a huge difference for this team based upon what 0:13:51.679 --> 0:13:53.840 they got at the cornerback position. I've been burned before 0:13:53.920 --> 0:13:56.040 by saying what I think I know, and then Dave 0:13:56.080 --> 0:13:58.480 comes in and says, well, actually, I don't have anything 0:13:58.480 --> 0:14:02.600 for you, so fire. You know. The last thing that 0:14:02.760 --> 0:14:05.760 we've kind of heard is and what the Cowboys were saying, 0:14:05.760 --> 0:14:08.719 it's a personal issues. He's dealing with some some he's 0:14:08.800 --> 0:14:11.760 left the team right now for some personal reasons, um, 0:14:11.960 --> 0:14:14.160 and they expect him back, and Stephen Jones said they 0:14:14.280 --> 0:14:17.360 expect him back, and Jason Garrett expect him back as well. 0:14:17.760 --> 0:14:19.720 The one thing to that is people that have seen 0:14:19.800 --> 0:14:22.760 him leave for personal reasons had all his bags packed. 0:14:23.120 --> 0:14:25.680 So I don't know, I don't know what if he's 0:14:25.720 --> 0:14:28.000 a heavy packer or not. I don't know what's going on, 0:14:28.080 --> 0:14:29.960 but they've got all his back packs. And by the way, 0:14:30.080 --> 0:14:31.720 this would not be the first time we've ever seen 0:14:31.760 --> 0:14:34.840 a player that, for personal reasons packed their bags and 0:14:35.000 --> 0:14:37.200 left and then a few days later came back. It 0:14:37.320 --> 0:14:40.120 played eight years, yeah exactly, so it happened. It happened, Yeah, 0:14:40.120 --> 0:14:42.200 it happened. Sol Beasley was dealing with stuff, and after 0:14:42.280 --> 0:14:44.760 all those times, and we've done all these feature stories, 0:14:44.840 --> 0:14:47.160 I don't know if that ever came out exactly why 0:14:47.240 --> 0:14:50.840 Cole Beasley left there was some personal stuff. He went home. 0:14:51.840 --> 0:14:54.280 He never he never really said why, but but he was. 0:14:54.440 --> 0:14:57.320 He was doing really well, and so everyone was surprised 0:14:57.680 --> 0:15:00.280 and he came back and he obviously had the career 0:15:00.320 --> 0:15:03.640 that he had. Um Westy did not have such a 0:15:03.640 --> 0:15:07.640 great first practice. Yeah, and you know was this is 0:15:07.640 --> 0:15:09.880 gonna be one out of twenty though. Man. I mean, 0:15:10.160 --> 0:15:12.080 and I don't know why he's leaving, but that's you know, 0:15:12.080 --> 0:15:14.800 it's to know if it's that or not. Yeah, you know, 0:15:14.800 --> 0:15:17.200 we'll see, we'll see if he comes back. There's been 0:15:17.200 --> 0:15:20.080 a few over the years that you know, I remember here, 0:15:20.320 --> 0:15:24.200 like fifteen years ago was a guy named Andrew Davison's 0:15:24.240 --> 0:15:26.880 pretty good cornerback from the Jets. They Bill liked him, 0:15:26.880 --> 0:15:30.840 Parcels liked him, and quit like third third day. So 0:15:31.720 --> 0:15:34.840 it happens so well. But I don't know if he's 0:15:35.200 --> 0:15:37.560 what's going on. We just know that it's personal reasons 0:15:37.600 --> 0:15:39.960 and he's got a day here, so yeah, figure it out. 0:15:40.040 --> 0:15:41.800 We'll see, we'll see if he comes back or not. 0:15:41.960 --> 0:15:44.320 I would assume it's a pretty tough adjustment a lot 0:15:44.360 --> 0:15:47.120 of times for these guys coming out of college programs 0:15:47.120 --> 0:15:50.520 where most of them were among the best on their teams, 0:15:50.600 --> 0:15:53.240 and then they get here and they're among the I 0:15:53.240 --> 0:15:55.000 don't want to say the worst, but they're certainly not 0:15:55.120 --> 0:15:57.520 up there as far as a depth chart or the 0:15:57.520 --> 0:15:59.680 amount of credibility that they have. And you know, he 0:15:59.720 --> 0:16:01.720 has a day like he had the first day. Sometimes 0:16:01.920 --> 0:16:04.640 adjusting to that is is difficult. Yeah. I think he's 0:16:04.680 --> 0:16:07.480 one of those guys. I could be wrong, but I 0:16:07.520 --> 0:16:09.800 think he's one of those athletes that over the years 0:16:09.800 --> 0:16:13.600 has just been said yes too because of look at him. Yeah, 0:16:13.680 --> 0:16:16.920 you know, um, but he never he said he had 0:16:17.080 --> 0:16:19.800 never played receiver because he said his hands were terrible. 0:16:19.920 --> 0:16:23.360 He said that. He asked about playing basketball and he's like, no, 0:16:23.400 --> 0:16:26.280 I don't play basketball. And he's in Kentucky. I doesn't 0:16:26.280 --> 0:16:29.120 play basketball. You know. They put him at corner and 0:16:29.760 --> 0:16:31.800 you know, you would think he'd be a safety. But 0:16:31.800 --> 0:16:34.520 but so he's got a tough issue anyways, just being 0:16:34.560 --> 0:16:37.680 a six four corner that they don't and playing for Richard. 0:16:37.760 --> 0:16:42.280 I mean, Chris gets he's temper. He gets really into 0:16:42.280 --> 0:16:43.960 the game and he will yell at you and so 0:16:44.120 --> 0:16:48.000 if you're not that's yeh didn't happen get beaten? He 0:16:48.080 --> 0:16:50.240 was He was like you're get out, getting out of here. 0:16:50.600 --> 0:16:56.160 So I think I think Chris just meant like on 0:16:56.200 --> 0:16:59.320 the sideline, but stream might have been like, where did 0:16:59.320 --> 0:17:01.280 he tell me to lead that don't have to leave? 0:17:01.400 --> 0:17:04.359 I don't know. We're really speculating. No, it's and I 0:17:04.400 --> 0:17:06.920 hope and if there's I'll just say this too. We're 0:17:06.960 --> 0:17:08.840 making light of it. I don't know what the personal 0:17:08.880 --> 0:17:11.160 issues are. They could be a lot deeper than can 0:17:11.200 --> 0:17:14.120 you cover a wide receiver? Sure, and if that's the case, 0:17:14.160 --> 0:17:16.359 then you know, we really don't know. We're speculating. And 0:17:16.400 --> 0:17:18.520 hope he comes back, and hope he gets it going 0:17:18.600 --> 0:17:22.120 and has a Cole Beasley type career. There are other 0:17:22.119 --> 0:17:23.800 guys that this has happened to it well where they 0:17:23.840 --> 0:17:26.679 leave or whatever reason, personal reasons, whatever the point is, 0:17:26.720 --> 0:17:28.960 you hope he's back on tomorrow and back working in 0:17:29.040 --> 0:17:30.760 and we'll see how things go for him. All right, 0:17:30.840 --> 0:17:32.240 let's go ahead and take our first break. When we 0:17:32.280 --> 0:17:33.959 come back from break, I want to talk about this 0:17:34.080 --> 0:17:37.720 defensive line. We're gonna talk about the defensive tackles first, 0:17:38.160 --> 0:17:41.280 getting some into some conversation of the depth of this group, 0:17:41.280 --> 0:17:43.359 because they've got a lot of guys that sit behind 0:17:43.359 --> 0:17:45.919 those two starters, and I'm not really certain that I 0:17:46.000 --> 0:17:49.040 know exactly who those guys will become the final fifty 0:17:49.040 --> 0:17:50.479 three man roster.
