Patrick. 0:04:05.200 --> 0:04:11.200 Absolutely, Cowboys had their second practice of the week and 0:04:11.240 --> 0:04:16.360 with that. With that comes the second injury report. And 0:04:16.480 --> 0:04:21.719 we spoke yesterday as far as Tyler Goton. We wanted 0:04:21.720 --> 0:04:24.160 to see if he took the practice field on Thursday 0:04:24.200 --> 0:04:27.240 to determine what his trajectory is. He did not take 0:04:27.279 --> 0:04:31.560 the practice field on Thursday, So his trajectory not good. 0:04:31.640 --> 0:04:32.520 I don't like those words. 0:04:32.640 --> 0:04:35.120 His trajectory is not great, Bob m GB. 0:04:35.760 --> 0:04:39.000 Tyler Guiden is trending at the moment towards not playing, 0:04:39.480 --> 0:04:40.120 not returning. 0:04:40.279 --> 0:04:43.560 Why would you do that? Patrick, you know, why would 0:04:43.560 --> 0:04:43.839 you do this? 0:04:44.040 --> 0:04:44.839 I don't have an answer. 0:04:44.880 --> 0:04:45.400 Man out. 0:04:46.400 --> 0:04:48.120 I should have checked in on them more often. I 0:04:48.160 --> 0:04:53.039 was watching blossom. So he did not participate. Good news, 0:04:53.080 --> 0:04:54.800 So this is a good news bad news thing. So 0:04:54.880 --> 0:04:57.839 good news is is Mallie Hooker was back at practice yesterday. 0:04:57.880 --> 0:05:02.360 He had missed for for personal reasons, non injury related. 0:05:02.440 --> 0:05:04.880 We're hoping that all was well with him. Looks to 0:05:04.880 --> 0:05:06.359 be the case. He's back in the building. He was 0:05:06.360 --> 0:05:09.320 back on the practice field yesterday. Good stuff. Now back 0:05:09.360 --> 0:05:12.720 to the not so great news. Jake Ferguson was downgraded 0:05:13.480 --> 0:05:16.200 with his calf issues, so he was a limited participant 0:05:16.240 --> 0:05:20.320 in Wednesday's practice. He did not participate at all in 0:05:20.400 --> 0:05:24.520 Thursday's practice. Today's practice and tomorrow morning's walkthrough will be 0:05:24.600 --> 0:05:29.320 critical in determining Jake Ferguson's availability against the Minnesota Vikings. 0:05:29.320 --> 0:05:32.800 If Jake Ferguson cannot go, you are looking at Luke 0:05:32.839 --> 0:05:35.360 Schoolmaker and Brevan span Ford as your top two tight 0:05:35.480 --> 0:05:37.880 ends with Princeton Fant waiting in the wings. 0:05:38.000 --> 0:05:40.320 Let Brevin Cook. When did the injury pop up for 0:05:40.400 --> 0:05:42.599 Jake Ferguson. Was that in practice or was that game related? 0:05:42.920 --> 0:05:44.919 I think it was game related. It didn't pop up 0:05:44.960 --> 0:05:45.840 in practice. 0:05:45.560 --> 0:05:49.200 Okay, just because he was limited with the calf on 0:05:49.800 --> 0:05:54.320 Tuesday or Wednesday, Yes, and then popped up full yesterday 0:05:54.360 --> 0:05:56.520 with the calf correct and he was out there and 0:05:56.560 --> 0:05:58.400 he did have his helmet, which a lot of times, 0:05:58.400 --> 0:06:01.440 if you're working off to the side and you're not participating, 0:06:01.760 --> 0:06:03.520 but you at least have a helmet on, that's a 0:06:03.560 --> 0:06:06.000 good sign, which is not what Tyler Guy had. 0:06:06.080 --> 0:06:09.120 Tyler, his helmet didn't have the shelves on, didn't have 0:06:09.200 --> 0:06:12.520 the jersey on, like you knew, Tyler guy in both 0:06:12.600 --> 0:06:15.440 yesterday and the day before was not gonna go from 0:06:15.480 --> 0:06:15.839 the rehab. 0:06:15.920 --> 0:06:18.760 It felt like Ferguson was almost like a game time 0:06:18.839 --> 0:06:21.000 or a practice time decision on whether he was going 0:06:21.040 --> 0:06:24.080 to participate, even in a limited basis. They said, let's 0:06:24.120 --> 0:06:26.600 just take a second, breathe on it, and then we'll 0:06:26.839 --> 0:06:27.680 reattack it as time. 0:06:27.960 --> 0:06:30.080 So we'll see what Jake Ferguson's CAF does for him 0:06:30.120 --> 0:06:33.720 today and in the walkthrough tomorrow. Going back to the 0:06:33.720 --> 0:06:38.040 good news side of the equation, the best news side 0:06:38.080 --> 0:06:42.520 of the equation, one Sadarian de Leon Lamb was a 0:06:42.560 --> 0:06:45.880 full participant in yesterday's. 0:06:47.400 --> 0:06:50.160 There's a good article about that on discow dot com there. 0:06:51.240 --> 0:06:53.680 All right, Yeah, so absolutely, I penned an article on 0:06:53.760 --> 0:07:00.560 cdee Lamb discussing he talked, he double feel free to 0:07:00.560 --> 0:07:02.839 p I double n ed. It'll just keep it at 0:07:02.880 --> 0:07:05.360 the top of your thought process. So yeah, spoke with 0:07:05.400 --> 0:07:08.919 cd Lamb yesterday after after practice and he gave some 0:07:09.000 --> 0:07:11.840 good insight as far as where he is physically and 0:07:11.920 --> 0:07:15.760 mentally with the concussion protocol. As of yesterday after noon, 0:07:16.080 --> 0:07:19.120 he was still in concussion protocol and I saw a 0:07:19.160 --> 0:07:19.840 false report. 0:07:19.840 --> 0:07:21.600 Please start following news on Facebook. 0:07:21.640 --> 0:07:24.520 Folks, Oh my goodness, lord, you know how many people 0:07:24.560 --> 0:07:28.040 ask me if North Texas new head coach was Jason Garrett. 0:07:28.200 --> 0:07:30.600 It happened again last night twice. I will admit I 0:07:30.600 --> 0:07:32.880 felt I know, and Josh was one of them. I 0:07:32.880 --> 0:07:34.040 forgot about that. I wouldn't even. 0:07:33.920 --> 0:07:36.160 Say that wasn't Facebook, by the way, I don't go book, 0:07:36.560 --> 0:07:37.360 but it just you. 0:07:37.280 --> 0:07:39.720 Got clarifiedful and where do you get your news? That's 0:07:39.840 --> 0:07:40.320 the big thing. 0:07:40.320 --> 0:07:42.000 And then then they had it in the graphic. So 0:07:42.040 --> 0:07:44.440 of course it's in a graphic. It's gotta be true, right, 0:07:44.840 --> 0:07:47.240 stop it. I almost chimed into the comments, but you know, 0:07:47.360 --> 0:07:49.600 it's not even a battle worth fighting. The fact is, 0:07:49.840 --> 0:07:52.600 as we have this conversation, CD Lamb is still in 0:07:52.600 --> 0:07:55.840 the concussion protocol. Could that change this afternoon, Absolutely hopefully 0:07:55.880 --> 0:07:57.360 it does, but at the moment he is. 0:07:57.640 --> 0:07:59.080 But he was a full participant. 0:07:59.400 --> 0:08:02.200 He ramping up very nicely, and he said that the 0:08:02.240 --> 0:08:05.200 extra two or three days from the many by allowed 0:08:05.280 --> 0:08:07.480 him to rest, which is the biggest part obviously, as 0:08:07.480 --> 0:08:10.040 we all know, when it comes to concussion. So he's 0:08:10.040 --> 0:08:13.080 feeling much better, he's feeling well, looks like he will 0:08:13.760 --> 0:08:14.640 play again. 0:08:14.720 --> 0:08:15.680 That is the expectation. 0:08:15.760 --> 0:08:17.800 But when we're talking about concussion protocol, we have to 0:08:17.800 --> 0:08:19.880 put the asterisk next to it because it is not 0:08:20.000 --> 0:08:21.760 up to the team, It is not up to the player. 0:08:22.080 --> 0:08:25.040 Independent neurologists has to clear him. But he only has 0:08:25.080 --> 0:08:28.000 one or two more benchmarks to cross between today and tomorrow. 0:08:28.400 --> 0:08:30.520 My gut tells me Cedeelamb plays. 0:08:30.200 --> 0:08:33.440 And every box so far has been checked. He's been 0:08:33.480 --> 0:08:35.880 out on the practice field, he went from limited to full. 0:08:36.200 --> 0:08:39.080 That doesn't mean he's a foregone conclusion that he's playing right, 0:08:39.200 --> 0:08:40.640 but that's where you got. 0:08:40.480 --> 0:08:41.199 To be there, right. 0:08:41.200 --> 0:08:44.560 It doesn't get any closer to him being cleared without 0:08:44.679 --> 0:08:45.839 him being actually cleared. 0:08:45.880 --> 0:08:46.880 So that's where they are turning now. 0:08:47.160 --> 0:08:49.240 And they have a couple of days, actually more than 0:08:49.240 --> 0:08:52.440 a couple of days because it's a home game so 0:08:52.440 --> 0:08:54.760 they don't have to travel, right, So they technically have 0:08:54.920 --> 0:08:57.800 all the way up until in actives come out on 0:08:57.920 --> 0:09:00.520 Sunday evening because it's a primetime game, so they got 0:09:00.520 --> 0:09:02.480 a lot of time clear ceed Lamb. 0:09:02.960 --> 0:09:04.080 I'm not concerned there. 0:09:04.160 --> 0:09:06.280 He looks good, he sounds good, he's moving well, and 0:09:06.320 --> 0:09:10.280 by all accounts, be it coaching staff, executives. 0:09:09.679 --> 0:09:11.360 Dak Prescott, other players. 0:09:11.640 --> 0:09:15.079 Ceedee Lamb is is doing well, So that's the great news. 0:09:15.080 --> 0:09:18.160 Flipping over to the Minnesota Viking side of the equation. 0:09:18.120 --> 0:09:21.320 Really quick on Ceedee Lamb really quick. I liked in 0:09:21.360 --> 0:09:23.280 his interview, which is available on dos Collies dot com. 0:09:23.800 --> 0:09:25.920 I liked that he gave shouts to the coaching staff 0:09:25.920 --> 0:09:29.239 and the training staff for basically protecting him from himself 0:09:29.520 --> 0:09:31.000 because he was ready to go back in there. He 0:09:31.120 --> 0:09:32.760 was going to be a whole New York Giant situation. 0:09:33.559 --> 0:09:36.800 I'm good man, But thankfully they did not do that. 0:09:36.840 --> 0:09:38.200 They didn't allow him to go back on the field, 0:09:38.240 --> 0:09:40.079 and it's going to be better in the long run, not. 0:09:40.040 --> 0:09:43.000 Exactly a New York Giant because they head coach was 0:09:43.040 --> 0:09:48.120 the situation, the ones trying to fast forward the concussion protocol. 0:09:48.160 --> 0:09:50.280 CD was just being a competitor and he just wanted 0:09:50.320 --> 0:09:50.839 to go out there. 0:09:50.880 --> 0:09:52.760 And he said that he you know, and and I 0:09:52.800 --> 0:09:56.680 think as terrifying as that moment was, seeing him seeing 0:09:56.679 --> 0:09:58.760 the fingers lock up like we've seen a few times 0:09:58.800 --> 0:10:03.120 with Tua, it's good to hear after the fact that 0:10:03.240 --> 0:10:05.679 ceed didn't have any memory loss from the situation. 0:10:05.720 --> 0:10:07.080 He said he still remembers. 0:10:06.760 --> 0:10:07.520 Playing in that game. 0:10:07.840 --> 0:10:11.600 He remembers everything except that moment of blackout, and then 0:10:11.679 --> 0:10:14.280 afterwards he remembers everything from that point forward. 0:10:14.360 --> 0:10:16.080 So that's that's good as well. 0:10:16.679 --> 0:10:20.280 So the very first concussion, right, I don't recall him 0:10:20.280 --> 0:10:21.000 ever having one before. 0:10:21.040 --> 0:10:22.880 I don't think, not with the Cowboys. 0:10:22.920 --> 0:10:25.920 I mean, fans feel for to chime in and tell 0:10:26.000 --> 0:10:28.680 us if Ceedee Lamb on the collegiate levels had a concussion, 0:10:28.760 --> 0:10:30.480 but I do not recall him ever having one with 0:10:30.559 --> 0:10:32.920 the Cowboys. And that's a pretty scary one to be 0:10:33.160 --> 0:10:36.839 your first one. But again, he doesn't have any residuals. 0:10:37.000 --> 0:10:40.200 He's going through all the tests. Interesting, he said that 0:10:40.240 --> 0:10:44.080 in Isaac knows this, but he said he's intentionally trying 0:10:44.120 --> 0:10:48.160 to frustrate himself with like the psychological tests to kind 0:10:48.160 --> 0:10:50.960 of push to see if there are any residual effects. 0:10:51.000 --> 0:10:53.520 And he says there's been no residual effects. So he's 0:10:53.559 --> 0:10:55.760 pushed himself to the limit mentally to make sure that 0:10:55.800 --> 0:10:57.880 there is nothing that they have to concern themselves with. 0:10:58.120 --> 0:11:00.480 And he continues to clear those benchmarks of this stuff. 0:11:00.600 --> 0:11:03.400 How many concussions or if any, have you been through. 0:11:04.080 --> 0:11:07.560 I'm just curious, Well, the better question is reported. 0:11:07.679 --> 0:11:09.480 Okay, yeah, how many's been reported? 0:11:10.679 --> 0:11:17.480 Most guys have concussions throughout the game? Fun factum one 0:11:17.679 --> 0:11:19.800 to Helloa nodded, knocked me out. 0:11:19.960 --> 0:11:22.319 Okay, that's a big one. I got a concussion from 0:11:22.400 --> 0:11:23.080 him in college. 0:11:23.200 --> 0:11:26.079 Okay, I got another one in my rookie year in 0:11:26.120 --> 0:11:26.679 the NFL. 0:11:27.440 --> 0:11:30.520 Then, yeah, I probably I got knocked out in high school. 0:11:30.559 --> 0:11:33.199 So one at every level. Okay, three? Probably three that 0:11:34.080 --> 0:11:37.840 report three reported report concussions. Yeah, like how many you think, 0:11:37.880 --> 0:11:39.880 like benchmark, you've suffered? 0:11:40.480 --> 0:11:42.800 Probably were some worse than others. 0:11:43.080 --> 0:11:45.400 Yeah, I got knocked out in high school. I got 0:11:45.480 --> 0:11:48.120 knocked out in high school, like sleepy for like a 0:11:48.120 --> 0:11:51.040 couple of seconds, sleepy and then helloaly not as slammed 0:11:51.040 --> 0:11:52.880 me on my head in college and. 0:11:52.840 --> 0:11:56.360 In practice, no, I guess it. Yeah, that's right. For 0:11:56.360 --> 0:11:57.719 some reason, I was thinking he was that you. He 0:11:57.760 --> 0:11:59.720 started cursing at me, and then I threw a touchdown. 0:12:00.000 --> 0:12:01.800 He said I'm gonna gill you cause I said, hey, 0:12:01.840 --> 0:12:02.600 what do I do to you? 0:12:03.559 --> 0:12:05.679 And then he threw my center and my guard out 0:12:05.720 --> 0:12:07.640 the way, grabbed me and slammed my head on the ground, so. 0:12:07.559 --> 0:12:08.199 He almost did. 0:12:08.240 --> 0:12:11.360 He did, and then I couldn't see my wristband, Like 0:12:11.520 --> 0:12:14.000 I was like trying to focus into my wristband, and 0:12:14.040 --> 0:12:17.239 I was like, I was doing it. 0:12:17.000 --> 0:12:18.160 Bro, I was. I was good. 0:12:18.200 --> 0:12:19.840 I did all my little tests on the sideline with 0:12:19.840 --> 0:12:21.840 the neurologists on the sideline. They were like, you're good, 0:12:21.880 --> 0:12:24.040 get back in there, and bro we watched the film 0:12:24.080 --> 0:12:24.600 the next day. 0:12:24.640 --> 0:12:26.360 I was calling trips to the. 0:12:26.320 --> 0:12:28.400 Boundary and it was bad. 0:12:28.480 --> 0:12:28.640 Bro. 0:12:28.800 --> 0:12:31.600 So but yeah, then in the baseline in bound like, 0:12:31.760 --> 0:12:33.920 wait a second, I'm sure the tests have evolved. 0:12:33.920 --> 0:12:36.480 Since it's a nine rout here at the goal line, 0:12:36.520 --> 0:12:38.040 They're like count to ten backwards. 0:12:38.040 --> 0:12:39.199 I was like, I got that one. 0:12:39.840 --> 0:12:43.320 All right, so really quickly, because those who are paying 0:12:43.360 --> 0:12:46.000 attention to the video portion of it a little bit 0:12:46.040 --> 0:12:47.960 of a sadebar between Josh and I. I just sent 0:12:48.000 --> 0:12:51.080 a message upstairs to see what cedde lampstatus is. So 0:12:51.080 --> 0:12:52.920 hopefully by the end of this show we will know 0:12:52.960 --> 0:12:55.040 if he's stealing protocol or if I can confirm for 0:12:55.080 --> 0:12:55.960 you that he's been cleared. 0:12:55.960 --> 0:12:58.040 So put it pint in that I'm working that actively. 0:12:59.120 --> 0:13:03.840 Also, Sideball, Melvin Kendrick, they know Blossom, they know Ball. 0:13:03.920 --> 0:13:06.240 They're talking a couple of they're talking to Blossom right now. 0:13:06.280 --> 0:13:08.600 And also if you know Blossom, then you know six. 0:13:09.280 --> 0:13:10.440 And that's all I gotta say. 0:13:11.240 --> 0:13:14.240 Wasn't Blossom like a little girl from the shows? Yeah? 0:13:14.880 --> 0:13:17.640 Yeah, and she had no we're not talking about that. 0:13:17.800 --> 0:13:20.400 And she had her best friend's name was six. And 0:13:20.480 --> 0:13:25.320 anyone who knows of six, anyone who knows of six knows. 0:13:26.200 --> 0:13:30.320 It a show man. So that work on that for 0:13:30.320 --> 0:13:30.760 a little bit. 0:13:30.760 --> 0:13:33.120 He'll work on now. Minnesota Vikings. 0:13:33.240 --> 0:13:36.280 Okay, so Christian Derris saw their offensive tackle with a 0:13:36.360 --> 0:13:39.520 knee issue. He still has not practiced this week. He's 0:13:39.520 --> 0:13:42.600 not trend in the right direction, which works in the 0:13:42.600 --> 0:13:45.600 favor of the Cowboys edge rushers if they can take 0:13:45.640 --> 0:13:48.360 advantage of that. Let's see what else we got. 0:13:48.400 --> 0:13:48.640 TJ. 0:13:48.760 --> 0:13:53.680 Hockinson. He made some progress with that. Shingury shouts out 0:13:53.720 --> 0:13:54.400 to the family. 0:13:54.480 --> 0:13:56.480 That's not for me. That like family dropped that in 0:13:56.520 --> 0:13:58.720 the comments. It's impressive. Yeah, that's impressive. 0:13:59.040 --> 0:14:02.520 So with the shin injury, he did not participate on Wednesday, 0:14:02.559 --> 0:14:05.840 but he participated in a limited capacity on Thursday, so 0:14:06.000 --> 0:14:10.040 he is moving toward potentially playing. We'll see how that 0:14:10.200 --> 0:14:13.560 goes and from there. There's there were no changes in 0:14:13.600 --> 0:14:18.160 a negative light. Donovan Jackson Guard he was upgraded the full, 0:14:18.240 --> 0:14:22.160 THEO Jackson Safety upgraded the full. Drake Rodriguez upgraded the full. 0:14:22.240 --> 0:14:25.360 So not a lock to report from the excuse me 0:14:25.360 --> 0:14:28.400 from the Viking standpoint, just keep an eye on Darris 0:14:28.400 --> 0:14:31.640 Saw and Hockinson to see if those guys. 0:14:31.960 --> 0:14:35.000 I knew you're gonna do that. I knew it because 0:14:35.000 --> 0:14:35.600 it's already made. 0:14:36.040 --> 0:14:43.440 Hawss, I knew you're gonna do that too. Let's freaking go. 0:14:43.960 --> 0:14:46.600 So yeah, that's news and notes for today. We'll see 0:14:46.640 --> 0:14:48.760 if Tyler Gotton gets on the practice field today. If 0:14:48.760 --> 0:14:50.280 he does not, I'm just gonna go ahead and draw 0:14:50.280 --> 0:14:53.320 on line and right through him. Ceedee Lamb looks like 0:14:53.400 --> 0:14:57.320 he is on the one second, let me read this text. Well, 0:14:57.560 --> 0:15:04.000 I'm working stories in real time for y'all seriously, and 0:15:04.240 --> 0:15:05.280 Ceedee Lamb is cleared. 0:15:05.520 --> 0:15:09.560 Okay, nice, So he's out of protocol. I think it's 0:15:09.560 --> 0:15:11.840 already bro Yeah, it's out there, but there you go. 0:15:12.040 --> 0:15:14.080 The uh now it's confirmed. 0:15:14.840 --> 0:15:17.640 Confirmed out broke out. There were per sources. 0:15:17.720 --> 0:15:21.840 I'm telling you from upstairs to my to my iPhone. 0:15:22.160 --> 0:15:24.400 Ceedee Lamb is confirmed cleared. 0:15:24.160 --> 0:15:27.040 Of concussion prop it is confirmed. It is confirmed, nicely done. 0:15:27.080 --> 0:15:30.280 So he is in against the Minnesota Vikings. 0:15:30.680 --> 0:15:34.120 Huge, very nice, huge huge. All right, So before we 0:15:34.160 --> 0:15:38.360 get into why do you stop that? Before we get 0:15:38.400 --> 0:15:42.280 into the get your popcorn ready? Yes, I want to 0:15:42.280 --> 0:15:46.040 talk about Tyler Guiden Nate Thomas real quick. What's the 0:15:46.080 --> 0:15:49.160 concern level now that you've seen a couple of games 0:15:49.160 --> 0:15:51.280 of Nate Thomas, because we've had this conversation on this 0:15:51.360 --> 0:15:55.120 show before, has your opinion changed and what's your confidence 0:15:55.200 --> 0:15:59.120 level in him moving forward? If guydon is out this 0:15:59.200 --> 0:16:02.480 week and then possibly next week against the Chargers. 0:16:02.280 --> 0:16:04.160 Just like anything, I think the guy needed more reps. 0:16:04.280 --> 0:16:06.320 Don't do it? What did you just say? 0:16:06.400 --> 0:16:15.880 Just like all right, Mike McCarthy, brother, No, I generally 0:16:15.920 --> 0:16:17.720 mean like, the more playing time he gets, I think 0:16:17.720 --> 0:16:18.480 the better is going to get. 0:16:18.520 --> 0:16:22.440 I'm not absolutely not sold on Nate Thomas as of 0:16:22.600 --> 0:16:24.520 right now. I think he did have a really bad game, 0:16:24.920 --> 0:16:27.160 but I think your whole offensive line did. Let Coober 0:16:27.200 --> 0:16:29.480 beeB has had bad games this season, and I'm not 0:16:29.520 --> 0:16:32.360 writing any of them off. I think at least for 0:16:32.440 --> 0:16:36.200 now outside looking in, Uh, you may not have Terrence 0:16:36.200 --> 0:16:39.360 Steele in the squad just based on contracts and what 0:16:39.400 --> 0:16:41.760 that looks like for next year. And I think you 0:16:41.800 --> 0:16:43.640 want to keep a guy like Nate Thomas and give 0:16:43.680 --> 0:16:46.280 him a shot, get him some reps and see if 0:16:46.280 --> 0:16:48.720 he can improve. Yeah, that's not What are you gonna do? 0:16:48.880 --> 0:16:51.200 Throw another guy that you don't know out there? 0:16:51.240 --> 0:16:53.200 You know? Well, you could, you could line reps. You 0:16:53.240 --> 0:16:55.320 could move Getton to right tackle, which is what he 0:16:55.360 --> 0:16:57.880 played in college, But then you would be right back 0:16:57.960 --> 0:16:59.640 in the middle of the draft trying to draft another 0:16:59.680 --> 0:17:02.960 left which is not a great spot to be in. 0:17:03.480 --> 0:17:07.120 Not the ideal scenario going into it, needing to hit 0:17:07.160 --> 0:17:08.439 on a left tackle that's going to be a. 0:17:08.640 --> 0:17:10.400 There's a point of diminsson hard turns for your team, 0:17:10.440 --> 0:17:12.359 and we're looking at it right now. We've invested so 0:17:12.440 --> 0:17:15.040 much in the offensive line and not so much, you know, 0:17:15.920 --> 0:17:18.320 on the defensive side or other skill positions that you 0:17:18.480 --> 0:17:22.120 desperately needed to trade for and move up and makes 0:17:22.119 --> 0:17:24.879 some moves for right. So at least for me, I 0:17:24.920 --> 0:17:27.159 want to stick with the guys that we have just 0:17:27.200 --> 0:17:30.480 to see because we've seen Nate Thomas play well. 0:17:30.640 --> 0:17:33.240 I was just curious. I just wanted to look it 0:17:33.359 --> 0:17:35.840 up the PFF grades and like I've said, these are 0:17:35.880 --> 0:17:37.760 not the Bible, and these are not the only thing 0:17:37.760 --> 0:17:41.480 that you can use as your only source of information, 0:17:41.840 --> 0:17:43.840 but it's kind of fun to reference based off of 0:17:43.840 --> 0:17:46.119 what you've seen on the film too. Out of eighty 0:17:46.160 --> 0:17:49.000 one offensive tackles in the National Football League, would you 0:17:49.080 --> 0:17:52.120 like to guess where Nate Thomas ranks out of those 0:17:52.160 --> 0:17:56.399 eighty one sixty five, he is number eighty one. He 0:17:56.520 --> 0:17:59.560 is dead last, which is kind of wild. I don't 0:17:59.560 --> 0:18:02.120 think he's the worst offensive tackle in football right now 0:18:02.200 --> 0:18:04.399 or in the National Football League. I don't think that, 0:18:04.480 --> 0:18:06.199 and I don't believe that, but it is interesting that 0:18:06.200 --> 0:18:09.200 they believe that. That's PFF though. 0:18:09.160 --> 0:18:11.879 That is That's what I said, Yeah, I mean, the 0:18:11.920 --> 0:18:14.800 bottom line is we've seen good from Nate Thomas, we've 0:18:14.800 --> 0:18:18.040 seen bad from Nate Thomas. And because of that combination 0:18:18.160 --> 0:18:21.760 of two things, and there's a good enough sample size 0:18:22.000 --> 0:18:24.080 for Nate Thomas for me to say that I believe 0:18:24.160 --> 0:18:26.240 he has potential. I just don't believe that he's a 0:18:26.320 --> 0:18:28.639 starter in this league. I think he can be a 0:18:28.800 --> 0:18:34.119 quality swing tackle. You still need that, don't you You 0:18:34.359 --> 0:18:37.560 need that, You do need that, you need multiple But yeah, 0:18:38.280 --> 0:18:40.919 but what you don't need to do is try to uh, 0:18:41.400 --> 0:18:43.800 you know, make a turn it bleed, so to speak. 0:18:44.160 --> 0:18:46.960 So in that case, yeah, in that case you need 0:18:47.000 --> 0:18:51.480 to figure out. So for me with Tyler Guy, and 0:18:51.800 --> 0:18:55.920 we talked about it, is availability, right, He's he's dealt 0:18:55.920 --> 0:18:58.439 with injuries over these past his first two seasons, you know, 0:18:58.520 --> 0:18:59.879 so he just needs to stay on the field. And 0:19:00.000 --> 0:19:02.400 I believe if he can stay on the field, then 0:19:02.800 --> 0:19:05.840
