1
00:00:03,240 --> 00:00:05,720
Speaker 1: The following He's a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com

2
00:00:05,720 --> 00:00:08,920
Speaker 1: and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club. Are you ready for

3
00:00:08,960 --> 00:00:12,640
Speaker 1: a break? Yes? Are you ready for a break? Absolutely

4
00:00:12,760 --> 00:00:16,960

Speaker 1: ware with Nick Eatman, David Hellman and bar Garcia and

7
00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:32,720
Speaker 1: Derek Eagleton. Three out of four we'll do for for now,

8
00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:39,199
Speaker 1: and Derek is doing manager things. Is great. It is

9
00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:45,320
Speaker 1: what it is, quarterbacking batting school. In my opinion, surgeries

10
00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:48,320
Speaker 1: for doctors not great. Does surgery you need a little

11
00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:51,559
Speaker 1: higher kicking? Kicking not so much. It's pretty bad. It's

12
00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:54,400
Speaker 1: all relative. Yeah, Derek will be here a little bit later,

13
00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:57,040
Speaker 1: maybe tomorrow, he'll be out the whole show. So we're

14
00:00:57,080 --> 00:01:00,280
Speaker 1: just gonna have to make do slap. We'll be fine.

15
00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:04,600
Speaker 1: Season starts and you know, business things happen, all right.

16
00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:08,120
Speaker 1: Cowboys one and oh gonna take on now we know

17
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:10,360
Speaker 1: we're gonna take on. They want to know Broncos after

18
00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:13,520
Speaker 1: they played last night. I thought you were gonna say, like,

19
00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:15,600
Speaker 1: now we know who they're gonna play, Like it's the

20
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:18,839
Speaker 1: NC Double a tournament or something. Oh like No, we knew,

21
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:22,200
Speaker 1: we knew, but we didn't really know exactly what what

22
00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:24,479
Speaker 1: to expect, you know, first game of the season, didn't

23
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:28,160
Speaker 1: really know before we get into that. Let's let's see

24
00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:30,160
Speaker 1: however one's doing. Are we just standing the whole time?

25
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:32,280
Speaker 1: Is that this all rise? Is that? Is this a

26
00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:38,560
Speaker 1: Derek approach? No? I just make a judge. Okay, I

27
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:41,920
Speaker 1: mean I'm good here, that's fine. Are you good? We're good?

28
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:47,240
Speaker 1: We're good. Great. How's how's your Tuesday going? Great? Wonderful

29
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:50,400
Speaker 1: to be alive, no issue, wonderful to be here. Good

30
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:55,280
Speaker 1: perspective right there? A g all right, hadn't hadn't heard

31
00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:58,480
Speaker 1: that one since Aaron Glenn played here, Probably didn't don't

32
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:01,800
Speaker 1: remember him. No, pretty good cornerback, kind of short, but

33
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:06,680
Speaker 1: somebody you would like, feisty player. All right, Um, let's

34
00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:10,360
Speaker 1: get into the Broncos a little bit before we go

35
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:13,079
Speaker 1: any further. I mean they won the game last night.

36
00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:15,800
Speaker 1: Just kind of know what to expect from them. Trevor

37
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 1: Simeon not bad, pretty good, not at all. Well, you

38
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:23,480
Speaker 1: know what, ken't He's actually better than I thought he was.

39
00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:26,000
Speaker 1: That's what I would have said going into that game.

40
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:29,080
Speaker 1: And then he was throwing Dimes. I mean he juked

41
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:32,040
Speaker 1: Joey Bosa on the goal line. He was he dropped

42
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:33,880
Speaker 1: one end down the seam there towards the end of

43
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:36,280
Speaker 1: the game. That was really nice. And they had a

44
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:40,400
Speaker 1: running game that that looks also impressive as well, So

45
00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:43,959
Speaker 1: I mal Charles looks like he's got something in the tank. CJ.

46
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:46,440
Speaker 1: Anderson had a good night thing that stood it out

47
00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:50,880
Speaker 1: to me the most, which shocker, I know. But towards

48
00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:52,720
Speaker 1: the tail end of that game, when Philip Rivers was

49
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:55,799
Speaker 1: trying to bring them back, he was throwing the ball

50
00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:57,880
Speaker 1: about a half second after he got it because he

51
00:02:57,960 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 1: knew Vonon Miller was going to be in his lap.

52
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:02,519
Speaker 1: Like there was a I think it was the third down,

53
00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:04,639
Speaker 1: right before they kicked the field goal. He took it,

54
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:07,200
Speaker 1: looked and threw it like. I don't think he waited

55
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:10,280
Speaker 1: for a single receiver to even break because von Miller

56
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:13,240
Speaker 1: was already there. And that that's kind of scary when

57
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:16,320
Speaker 1: you think that Lyle Collins will be making his second started.

58
00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:19,800
Speaker 1: You know. Philip Rivers to me is the guy where

59
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:23,799
Speaker 1: it happens all the time in sports, the young guys

60
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:26,840
Speaker 1: kind of brass. He's looks like a punk sort of

61
00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:29,840
Speaker 1: you don't like him because he's just that feisty player

62
00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:32,399
Speaker 1: and you're like, I don't know this guy. Then as

63
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:36,120
Speaker 1: the years go on and he keeps playing well, and

64
00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:37,960
Speaker 1: then you're like you kind of start to respect him

65
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:40,840
Speaker 1: even more, and it's like, you know what, he's a

66
00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:42,880
Speaker 1: pretty good you know, Brett Favre was like that with me.

67
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:44,760
Speaker 1: You didn't like him at first, but he just kept

68
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:48,320
Speaker 1: playing to his fifteenth, sixteen, seventeenth year. Eli has not

69
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:50,480
Speaker 1: gotten there like that for me. But but you know

70
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:52,640
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, those guys in all sports, you just

71
00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:55,040
Speaker 1: kind of start respecting a little bit more, like he's

72
00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:58,720
Speaker 1: not so bad. He's actually pretty good. He's still feisty though,

73
00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:01,520
Speaker 1: like oh yeah, he's he acts like such a punk

74
00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:04,440
Speaker 1: even at the like what however Rivers he's like thirty six,

75
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 1: Yeah he actually, yeah, That's what I'm talking about. When

76
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:08,560
Speaker 1: he like that weird hot potato play where he just

77
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:10,280
Speaker 1: throws it and then shoves a guy like what are

78
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:13,240
Speaker 1: you doing? He kind of he's like he's kind of

79
00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:16,120
Speaker 1: deadslike though in the sense that that's just how he is,

80
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:17,840
Speaker 1: Like I don't think he could turn that, Like, no,

81
00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:20,880
Speaker 1: he's not going to mature out of that, you know, competitive,

82
00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:22,520
Speaker 1: and I don't. I wouldn't want him to. That's no

83
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:25,120
Speaker 1: that that's it. That's how he plays the game. But yeah,

84
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:27,520
Speaker 1: they tried. It's like all of a sudden that they

85
00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:29,120
Speaker 1: were like, you know what, this is a division game,

86
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:30,960
Speaker 1: let's not get blown out here. And the next thing

87
00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:32,680
Speaker 1: you know, the Chargers are in the game and then

88
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:35,440
Speaker 1: missed field goals and their chance to win. And but

89
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:38,559
Speaker 1: it was it was an entertaining game if you stayed

90
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:41,880
Speaker 1: up for it, but maybe one of two entertaining games

91
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:44,200
Speaker 1: in terms of like whether or not the outcome was

92
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:47,120
Speaker 1: in doubt. That was like one of two, maybe three

93
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:49,040
Speaker 1: games that kind of came down to the wire this

94
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:52,480
Speaker 1: whole weekend. Like I thought, in terms of the excitement factor,

95
00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:54,720
Speaker 1: this was a really disappointing way to start the season.

96
00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:57,560
Speaker 1: But yeah, it's not that it matters right now. The

97
00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:00,640
Speaker 1: Cowboys don't face either team does no matter if you

98
00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:05,640
Speaker 1: you're been a lifelong Saints fan. Oh oh man, I

99
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:09,120
Speaker 1: felt like I felt like the world's worst son yesterday

100
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:11,080
Speaker 1: because my dad and my brother are here and they're

101
00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:13,960
Speaker 1: from New Orleans, right, they passionately love the Saints. My

102
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:16,760
Speaker 1: dad wore a Saints polo to tour the Star here yesterday.

103
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:18,680
Speaker 1: I was like, good for you. I didn't get to

104
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:20,960
Speaker 1: see him. I didn't get I've met him before. I

105
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:23,039
Speaker 1: didn't get to meet doc rep your I was like,

106
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:24,960
Speaker 1: rep your team. Sure. But he had like this big

107
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:27,520
Speaker 1: Florida lee on his chest, and I'm like, yes, this

108
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:29,400
Speaker 1: is my office where I worked for the Cowboys. Thank

109
00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:33,279
Speaker 1: you for wearing that. Um, they looked bad. The Saints

110
00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:36,720
Speaker 1: looked bad, and my dad and my brother were really

111
00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:39,839
Speaker 1: devastated about it. And I was like, yeah, I I

112
00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:41,680
Speaker 1: don't have time to care about this right now. Like

113
00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:44,320
Speaker 1: I'm kind of I work eighty hours a week covering

114
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:46,000
Speaker 1: the Cowboys, so I don't have a lot of time

115
00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:48,120
Speaker 1: to really dedicate to the Saints. But they did not

116
00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:51,160
Speaker 1: look good. Well, let's let's go back to the Broncos

117
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:55,640
Speaker 1: for a second, because they're starting right guard Ron Leary. Yes,

118
00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:59,200
Speaker 1: watched him play a little bit, and it just kind

119
00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:02,280
Speaker 1: of brings up the question. Now, since you're watching a

120
00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:07,160
Speaker 1: player that had a role here Cowboys, they're still trying

121
00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:08,640
Speaker 1: to figure out what they're doing there. I mean, it

122
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:11,839
Speaker 1: looks like it's gonna be chas Green until anything happens

123
00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:13,880
Speaker 1: if he gets hurt or whatever, He's going to stay healthy.

124
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:19,080
Speaker 1: So hindsight, do we think maybe that you know, that

125
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:23,120
Speaker 1: was still a good call. Could they not afforded him

126
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:26,120
Speaker 1: knowing what we know now at the guard position, how

127
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:28,280
Speaker 1: it took all the way up until like kickoff to

128
00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:30,560
Speaker 1: decide what they were going to do, would you have

129
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:33,880
Speaker 1: done anything different there? I just don't think you can

130
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:37,400
Speaker 1: do anything differently Like that's I mean, you're already when

131
00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:39,560
Speaker 1: you look at the resources allocated on the rest of

132
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:42,000
Speaker 1: the offensive line and the fact that they couldn't get

133
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:45,440
Speaker 1: a deal done with Zach Martin this offseason because it's

134
00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:47,560
Speaker 1: gonna be so big. Not that they I mean, I

135
00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:49,800
Speaker 1: still have all the confidence in the world that they will,

136
00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:52,719
Speaker 1: but it's going to be such a big deal that

137
00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:54,440
Speaker 1: they need a little more time to work on it.

138
00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:57,000
Speaker 1: I don't know how you couldn't afford to pay Ron Leary.

139
00:06:57,040 --> 00:06:59,279
Speaker 1: What did he get like thirty six million or something

140
00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:02,400
Speaker 1: like that, Yeah, which isn't huge by any stretch, but

141
00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:04,760
Speaker 1: it is pretty big when you're paying your center fifty

142
00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:07,720
Speaker 1: six and your guard sixty five, and your tackle one

143
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:10,840
Speaker 1: hundred and then your other tackle he got he got

144
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:13,000
Speaker 1: a two year deal. I mean, they didn't d Any

145
00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:17,840
Speaker 1: Miles Miles making like seven million a year, and and

146
00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:20,600
Speaker 1: then you know Steven Jones and those guys, they got

147
00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:22,800
Speaker 1: to think about it beyond more than just twenty seventeen.

148
00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:25,120
Speaker 1: You're gonna I mean, assuming he keeps playing the way

149
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:26,720
Speaker 1: you think you will, you're gonna owe Dack a lot

150
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:28,520
Speaker 1: of money in a couple of years. You probably want

151
00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:31,000
Speaker 1: to get that done before he goes into his contract year.

152
00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:34,520
Speaker 1: So really, when the twenty eighteen season is over, you

153
00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:37,280
Speaker 1: probably want to extend him. You might have to deal

154
00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:39,560
Speaker 1: with Zeke depending on how that goes. Well, where did

155
00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:43,000
Speaker 1: y'all stand on this? Because I was like the number

156
00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:46,080
Speaker 1: one fan for keeping ron Leary Beck in the free agency,

157
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:47,680
Speaker 1: like that was my guy that I was like, I

158
00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:51,480
Speaker 1: don't think you could lose him. I mean, I agree

159
00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:54,559
Speaker 1: with what the Cowboys did just because of the money

160
00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:58,440
Speaker 1: money wise, and then after seeing last Weekend's the game,

161
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:01,640
Speaker 1: I think they're they're gonna be just fine. Yeah. The

162
00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:05,200
Speaker 1: only problem comes now if Chas Greene does get hurt,

163
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:09,240
Speaker 1: if he gets hurt again, and it's out now, I

164
00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:12,200
Speaker 1: think they'll be okay. With Jonathan Cooper, They're not gonna

165
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:15,720
Speaker 1: be great neither you know, of those two players. But

166
00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:19,040
Speaker 1: I think from what we saw Sunday's game, they're gonna

167
00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:21,040
Speaker 1: be just fine. I think you're right about that. I mean,

168
00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:24,680
Speaker 1: like that, well, I thought, man, you gotta keep gotta

169
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:26,680
Speaker 1: keep Leary, keep this thing going, because I thought Leary

170
00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:28,600
Speaker 1: was a big difference from what they had with with

171
00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:33,160
Speaker 1: Lyle Collins. But you know, they're not gonna face a

172
00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:36,800
Speaker 1: defensive line too much tougher than what they already did,

173
00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:39,840
Speaker 1: certainly not every week now and then to go there

174
00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:41,920
Speaker 1: and kind of it was tough. It was tough sledding

175
00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:44,320
Speaker 1: at times, but you know, they still ran the ball

176
00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:46,679
Speaker 1: when they needed to, got some first downs when they

177
00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:49,600
Speaker 1: needed to, and so you know what he's gonna be.

178
00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:53,920
Speaker 1: Like we said, playing between Frederick and Tyron Smith, I mean, yeah,

179
00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:56,400
Speaker 1: I think I think they'll be fine. So what you're

180
00:08:56,920 --> 00:08:59,559
Speaker 1: four or six million dollar running back helps with that too.

181
00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:01,760
Speaker 1: I mean we're about that yesterday that he was turning

182
00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:05,359
Speaker 1: zero and negative gains into two and three yards, So

183
00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:10,240
Speaker 1: that so much lower body strength that he can just

184
00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:12,560
Speaker 1: just keeps those legs grinding and push it. And that's

185
00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:17,280
Speaker 1: something you know McFadden from two years Ago, Joseph Randall

186
00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:19,480
Speaker 1: those guys they just then they didn't have they don't

187
00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:22,240
Speaker 1: have that. I'm I'm not in a big I'm not

188
00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:25,680
Speaker 1: super anxious to talk about Zeke and the nude. But

189
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:28,679
Speaker 1: it's a great It's a great intro, isn't it not? Really?

190
00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:31,120
Speaker 1: Look where are you going with this? Zeke was on

191
00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:34,000
Speaker 1: the cover of the Body issue of ESPN over the summer,

192
00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:37,280
Speaker 1: and he's doing like the Heisman pose and his leg

193
00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:40,360
Speaker 1: is like the size of my torso it's like his

194
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:44,280
Speaker 1: lower body is just stout. Well, yeah, he can generate

195
00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:46,640
Speaker 1: some power with that thing. Yeah, I mean because he's

196
00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:49,280
Speaker 1: one of the fastest players on the team and you

197
00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:52,760
Speaker 1: look at him and you're like, really like form fast

198
00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:58,280
Speaker 1: I'm talking about that's me. That's a good dress. That's great,

199
00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:03,959
Speaker 1: thank you. I know where that came from. But I

200
00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:06,679
Speaker 1: can't have that so ready. It's been waiting on that way.

201
00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:10,520
Speaker 1: I had that so ready. I'm really dying to know

202
00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:15,200
Speaker 1: who you know what? All right? I was trying to

203
00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:18,840
Speaker 1: think what what person was I even referring to there.

204
00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:22,160
Speaker 1: Maybe it was maybe Ron Leary. Should we hear it again? Yeah,

205
00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:26,079
Speaker 1: do it again? Because he's got an ass. It means obvious.

206
00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:29,360
Speaker 1: You're saying, is obvious he has one? Yeah, so I

207
00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:33,000
Speaker 1: would guess ron Leary. Honestly, we saw it every week

208
00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:35,480
Speaker 1: when he was We did, we did, we did crack

209
00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:39,880
Speaker 1: into that every week. Okay, so um, you know the

210
00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:41,640
Speaker 1: jury is still out on that. I mean, it'll be

211
00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:43,480
Speaker 1: interesting to see him. And I don't I put him

212
00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:45,439
Speaker 1: in for the conference call we got. We got an email.

213
00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:47,640
Speaker 1: Oh that's a good We got an email about which

214
00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:49,839
Speaker 1: player to talk to, and I said, ron Learry, that's

215
00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:52,000
Speaker 1: a good idea. Who did you pick? N Miller. I

216
00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:54,200
Speaker 1: haven't sent in my email yet, but i'd probably say

217
00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:56,320
Speaker 1: von Miller, ron Miller. I mean, that'd be interesting to

218
00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:58,120
Speaker 1: talk to him. Bon Miller is way more likely to

219
00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:00,559
Speaker 1: be a good quote. I don't know, though. Ron Leary

220
00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:03,439
Speaker 1: wasn't bad. He really wasn't. He would talk, he didn't

221
00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:04,800
Speaker 1: like he didn't like to because you know how those

222
00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:07,240
Speaker 1: offensive linemen they're like, oh, we're not supposed to talk,

223
00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:09,560
Speaker 1: you know, But he was. He was a good dude

224
00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:11,400
Speaker 1: when he did talk. Yeah, a lot of times he

225
00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:13,120
Speaker 1: didn't have a whole lot to say, but it's good

226
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:14,719
Speaker 1: for him. Like he's one of those guys like you

227
00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:17,760
Speaker 1: root for. You're glad he got his money, because I

228
00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:21,480
Speaker 1: remember when he was i'd say drafted. He wasn't drafted,

229
00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:24,800
Speaker 1: but I remember that first press conference when after the

230
00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:28,959
Speaker 1: draft and what year we're talking twenty twelve. Well, and

231
00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:31,360
Speaker 1: and then you know, Jerry comes out and it's like

232
00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:34,520
Speaker 1: the last day and everyone's all excited about who they

233
00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:38,240
Speaker 1: took then, and he basically was like, we're really excited

234
00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:40,440
Speaker 1: about this guy that we just signed it from Memphis,

235
00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:43,160
Speaker 1: his offensive tackle. We feel like he's our eighth round pick.

236
00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:46,800
Speaker 1: He we're so excited about him. His knee checked out, okay,

237
00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:48,880
Speaker 1: and you know, and he was like, okay, they got

238
00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:51,599
Speaker 1: they got kind of a big tubby offensive tackle and

239
00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:55,520
Speaker 1: Ron Leary who's got a knee injury, and we think

240
00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:58,120
Speaker 1: he's gonna be really good. So yeah, and I mean,

241
00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:00,680
Speaker 1: you know, it's good. I'm to say it's good for

242
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:03,120
Speaker 1: him that he's done well. He thought to a bunch

243
00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:05,000
Speaker 1: of stuff. When you're a player like that, when you're

244
00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:08,520
Speaker 1: undrafted or you know, if the team comes upon you

245
00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:11,120
Speaker 1: as not a high round draft pick, you're kind of

246
00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:13,280
Speaker 1: behind the eight ball in terms of your earning potential

247
00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:14,920
Speaker 1: because you're on a you know, you're gonna be on

248
00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:18,280
Speaker 1: a restricted contract. They can keep you under club control

249
00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:20,840
Speaker 1: for an extra year after that, so like, you gotta play.

250
00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:23,360
Speaker 1: You gotta be good and healthy for like four years

251
00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:26,200
Speaker 1: before you can even get like a respectable contract, let

252
00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:29,240
Speaker 1: alone a good payday. Ron did all of that got

253
00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:32,319
Speaker 1: benched kind of you know, the politics of the whole thing.

254
00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:35,080
Speaker 1: When you bring in a highly touted guy like Lyle Collins,

255
00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:37,880
Speaker 1: he dealt with that. He sat out for a little while,

256
00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:40,560
Speaker 1: he came back. He was ready for his opportunity. I was, Yeah,

257
00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:42,320
Speaker 1: I was super happy to see him get paid. Well,

258
00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:43,960
Speaker 1: it's good we'll be able to see him when we

259
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:46,880
Speaker 1: go to Denver. First trip for the Cowboys to Denver

260
00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:52,040
Speaker 1: regular season while since two thousand and nine, you guys

261
00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:54,760
Speaker 1: ever been there to cover the Cowboys for a game.

262
00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:57,920
Speaker 1: So excited about that at all? Yeah, I think it's

263
00:12:57,960 --> 00:13:00,360
Speaker 1: I mean, it's one of the coolest. It's like one

264
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:03,160
Speaker 1: of the last great home field advantages in the NFL.

265
00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:05,800
Speaker 1: I feel like, I mean, with they yell incomplete after

266
00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:08,880
Speaker 1: every incompletion and it's orange everywhere, I assume it's gonna

267
00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:11,920
Speaker 1: be loud. I was watching the first drive of the

268
00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:14,439
Speaker 1: game Denver they didn't look too great, and I was

269
00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:16,320
Speaker 1: just I'm watching it from the perspective of this is

270
00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:20,319
Speaker 1: where we're gonna be next week, and thinking, I think

271
00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:22,880
Speaker 1: the cowboy, you know, like they'll be pretty good, but

272
00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:24,960
Speaker 1: they're not gonna scare you. Is this the first drive?

273
00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:27,560
Speaker 1: Then they punt and then the chargers get the ball,

274
00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:30,760
Speaker 1: and then like rivers can't hear, and the right guards

275
00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:33,720
Speaker 1: goes you know, fall starts and you know, and they're

276
00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:36,000
Speaker 1: making all these hand signals and I'm like, you know what,

277
00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:38,280
Speaker 1: this is gonna be a little bit. It's gonna be

278
00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:41,200
Speaker 1: a challenge for sure. Just from that standpoint. Well, the

279
00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:45,080
Speaker 1: thing that I kept watching was Melvin Gordon had a

280
00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:47,320
Speaker 1: great first half, Like I think he went into halftime

281
00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:49,960
Speaker 1: with like eleven carries in fifty yards or something. I

282
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:53,440
Speaker 1: was like, oh, Zeke's gonna get yeah, see this is perfect.

283
00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:56,760
Speaker 1: Zeke's gonna eat these guys. And then he didn't do

284
00:13:56,800 --> 00:13:58,760
Speaker 1: a whole lot after halftime. Like every I was like,

285
00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:00,520
Speaker 1: all right, here's where you get gore and go and

286
00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:02,840
Speaker 1: here's where like you know this if you're Zeke, this

287
00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:04,600
Speaker 1: is what you're watching right here, and they just they

288
00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:06,960
Speaker 1: ate him alive. It's like every time he touched the

289
00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:09,559
Speaker 1: ball after halftime. Now, they did rank I think twenty

290
00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:12,760
Speaker 1: seventh or twenty eighth last year, right, they weren't good,

291
00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:15,320
Speaker 1: you know, over the course of last season statistically, but

292
00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:17,960
Speaker 1: they got it together against Gordon. I don't know the

293
00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:20,560
Speaker 1: guy's name, but I just saw him that. He was

294
00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:23,360
Speaker 1: a defensive tackle for the for the Broncos that was

295
00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:27,080
Speaker 1: on the practice squad until yesterday. They signed him yesterday.

296
00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:29,600
Speaker 1: Godsis I think maybe I don't know, but he's about

297
00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:32,840
Speaker 1: three fifty yeah, oh oh yeah, And I'm like, how

298
00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:35,760
Speaker 1: did this get first of all, get cut and put

299
00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:39,680
Speaker 1: on the practice squad, and like he looks like a player,

300
00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:42,160
Speaker 1: Like if three hundred and fifty pounds is just right

301
00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:45,400
Speaker 1: in the middle, like I wouldn't. I'm kind of surprised

302
00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:48,680
Speaker 1: that he was. Like man, maybe he's okay, maybe we'll

303
00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:50,400
Speaker 1: put him on the practice squad. Now we'll sign him.

304
00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:51,920
Speaker 1: He just seems like a guy that you're like, yeah,

305
00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:53,840
Speaker 1: we'll take him. We'll figure out what to do with him.

306
00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:57,720
Speaker 1: Know his name though. These two defenses New York to

307
00:14:57,840 --> 00:15:00,440
Speaker 1: start in Denver on the road number two, Like if

308
00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:02,600
Speaker 1: you can get through this, yeah, I mean, how many

309
00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:05,440
Speaker 1: defenses are there left that can really hang with you

310
00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:07,680
Speaker 1: if you can handle those two. So be a really

311
00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:09,600
Speaker 1: good test, all right, Just a couple of minutes before

312
00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:11,640
Speaker 1: we go to break, it's probably all we need to talk.

313
00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:15,760
Speaker 1: If there's any news about Ezekiel Elliott. Just from the

314
00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:18,880
Speaker 1: news standpoint of where we stand, we're still looking at

315
00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:20,960
Speaker 1: him playing this week. It's gonna be hard for the

316
00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:24,480
Speaker 1: NFL to get anything done. Yeah, I mean, the NFL

317
00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:28,080
Speaker 1: filed an appeal in a different court, and I believe

318
00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:32,200
Speaker 1: it's expedited, like we talked about yesterday, So there's going

319
00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:35,200
Speaker 1: to be a hearing about it on Friday, but that

320
00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:37,880
Speaker 1: nothing will be decided like and as far as I

321
00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:40,880
Speaker 1: understand it, this again, this is the US legal system,

322
00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:44,440
Speaker 1: so it's slow. So I think there's a hearing Friday,

323
00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:48,680
Speaker 1: and then nothing might come of that until January February,

324
00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:52,560
Speaker 1: as far as I understand it. So again, no, you

325
00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:55,040
Speaker 1: can't put a definitive timetable on how long Zeke is

326
00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:57,720
Speaker 1: going to be available, But this doesn't look like something

327
00:15:57,720 --> 00:16:01,000
Speaker 1: that's gonna hinder him in the near And Jerry Jones

328
00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:03,240
Speaker 1: actually said on the radio this morning that he expects

329
00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:06,000
Speaker 1: them to play against the Broncos so and that that

330
00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:09,200
Speaker 1: right there is what the fans that are listening, and

331
00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:11,640
Speaker 1: they're like, here we go again. That's exactly what they

332
00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:13,920
Speaker 1: want to That's it. And I feel like, amber you

333
00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:16,800
Speaker 1: even get tired head of this, like okay, just if

334
00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:19,360
Speaker 1: you're gonna play, I mean, I don't even comment anymore.

335
00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:24,960
Speaker 1: It's a lot and it's it's it's not fun, you know,

336
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:27,360
Speaker 1: And I mean I know it's a serious issue, not

337
00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:31,840
Speaker 1: just the domestic violence allegations, but the whole conversation about

338
00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:34,720
Speaker 1: how the NFL handles discipline and you know, whether they

339
00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:36,800
Speaker 1: do it the right way, which clearly it doesn't seem

340
00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:39,680
Speaker 1: like they do. Those are all serious conversations that need

341
00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:42,120
Speaker 1: to be had. But like I honestly, I feel like,

342
00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:44,520
Speaker 1: you know, people want to make a big deal, like

343
00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:47,920
Speaker 1: it's the the Colin Kaepernick protests that drives people away

344
00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:51,160
Speaker 1: from the NFL and maybe some some people, sure, but

345
00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:54,080
Speaker 1: like this stuff weighs on fans after a while, like

346
00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:57,200
Speaker 1: it just sucks the fun out of football where every

347
00:16:57,280 --> 00:16:59,720
Speaker 1: year you're you gotta get a lot degree to figure

348
00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:01,760
Speaker 1: out if your favorite player can play or not. Like

349
00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:06,840
Speaker 1: it's it's you and it's there's something kind of uncomfortable

350
00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:10,160
Speaker 1: about the whole thing when you're like, you know, people

351
00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:14,640
Speaker 1: are rooting against the NFL because they want their player

352
00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:16,880
Speaker 1: to play for their team. You know, when you look

353
00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:19,200
Speaker 1: at those pictures from Sherman and how there's a four

354
00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:22,359
Speaker 1: year old little girl with a sign that says free

355
00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:26,320
Speaker 1: Zeke or not guilty. Well, first of all, they don't know,

356
00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:28,400
Speaker 1: and you know, like you don't know what you're even

357
00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:30,000
Speaker 1: cheering for. I mean, I have I have a ten

358
00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:32,359
Speaker 1: year old daughter and she's kind of like, you know,

359
00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:34,440
Speaker 1: she doesn't know she should root for Zeke or not.

360
00:17:34,520 --> 00:17:36,320
Speaker 1: He's he good guys he bad guy, And I'm like,

361
00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:39,879
Speaker 1: I don't know, I mean no confident here's dak you know,

362
00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:43,600
Speaker 1: I mean like I mean four right, it's just because

363
00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:47,200
Speaker 1: you want your guy to play football, because you want

364
00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:49,560
Speaker 1: your team to win, and he obviously helps you win.

365
00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:53,080
Speaker 1: But it's it's you find yourself in a corner where

366
00:17:53,119 --> 00:17:55,240
Speaker 1: you're just like, you know this is wrong and he

367
00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:57,879
Speaker 1: didn't do it, and we really don't know. It's just

368
00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:01,160
Speaker 1: that it's just like, come up something, do give us

369
00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:04,359
Speaker 1: something that we can figure this out, because it's like

370
00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:07,280
Speaker 1: I don't know if he's a if he's deserving to

371
00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:10,159
Speaker 1: sit out or not just tell us what it's going

372
00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:13,440
Speaker 1: to happen. Here, there's room for nuance and that when

373
00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:16,880
Speaker 1: you're dealing with issues. You know, people feel passionately about

374
00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:19,560
Speaker 1: their favorite teams. It's I mean, it's it's really deep

375
00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:22,479
Speaker 1: ingrained in most people, especially type you know, people that

376
00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:25,920
Speaker 1: listen to our podcasts stuff like that. Uh, it's hard

377
00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:29,320
Speaker 1: to it's hard to sort all that out, but it

378
00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:31,360
Speaker 1: it requires it requires some thought and like I said,

379
00:18:31,359 --> 00:18:34,080
Speaker 1: and it becomes such a drain when it's dragging out

380
00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:37,119
Speaker 1: over the course of fourteen months or even you know,

381
00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:39,600
Speaker 1: the six weeks since all this really kicked into high gear.

382
00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:42,600
Speaker 1: So it's it's a mess and it's not fun to

383
00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:46,000
Speaker 1: talk about or think about. But we do think Zeke

384
00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:48,280
Speaker 1: will be on the field again on right And one thing,

385
00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:50,960
Speaker 1: you know, let's go to break real quick. We're still

386
00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:52,720
Speaker 1: going to talk about Zeke because he did speak to

387
00:18:52,760 --> 00:18:55,399
Speaker 1: the medium for the first time Sunday night, and we

388
00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:57,160
Speaker 1: talked a lot about the game. We really didn't talk

389
00:18:57,200 --> 00:19:01,080
Speaker 1: about that. You know, I'm standing in front of report microphones.

390
00:19:01,359 --> 00:19:03,480
Speaker 1: How that went. We'll talk a little bit about that

391

427
00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:08,240
Speaker 1: it takes to be a cowboy. Everyone's got their ideas,

428
00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:10,720

00:21:38,359 --> 00:21:43,000
Speaker 1: all right, we're back here, Amber, Dave Nick, No, Derek

439
00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:47,359
Speaker 1: sounds kind of weird. Let's we're talking about Zeke in

440
00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:51,360
Speaker 1: this last segment and just basically how he has handled

441
00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:54,480
Speaker 1: this whole situation because we have not been able to

442
00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:57,199
Speaker 1: really talk to him at all, and so it was

443
00:21:57,240 --> 00:22:00,560
Speaker 1: funny when when you ask Jason Garrett questions, like in

444
00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:02,840
Speaker 1: the press conference, well, how does he handled this, He's like, well,

445
00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:05,479
Speaker 1: you'll have to ask him, and that's like, well, okay,

446
00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:07,679
Speaker 1: we can't. At times the press conference. You know, he

447
00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:13,439
Speaker 1: hasn't been made available to the media here until Sunday

448
00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:15,760
Speaker 1: night's game, and after the game he was able to

449
00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:18,080
Speaker 1: talk to the media. We got some clips for that.

450
00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:20,520
Speaker 1: But but Dave, real quick before we get into that,

451
00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:22,760
Speaker 1: you were standing right in there. How did you think

452
00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:26,520
Speaker 1: he handled that situation. It's probably a lot better after

453
00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:30,240
Speaker 1: you have a game and have a performance like that. Yeah,

454
00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:32,920
Speaker 1: I thought he handled it. He handled it really well,

455
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:36,359
Speaker 1: especially considering I mean, it was a massive crush of people.

456
00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:39,560
Speaker 1: I mean that had to be like sixty reporters all

457
00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:45,600
Speaker 1: things considered, print, camera, everything in between. And you know,

458
00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:48,840
Speaker 1: I imagine, you know, with an issue like this, you

459
00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:51,440
Speaker 1: imagine like the questioning is going to be aggressive. People

460
00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:54,000
Speaker 1: are gonna be like shouting each other down to get

461
00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:56,359
Speaker 1: their question in, you know how that type of thing goes.

462
00:22:56,800 --> 00:23:00,240
Speaker 1: And he just handled it really well. He was really calm.

463
00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:03,280
Speaker 1: He was much more willing to discuss the off field

464
00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:05,679
Speaker 1: stuff than I thought he would be to start. And

465
00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:09,880
Speaker 1: then interestingly, he kind of shifted over like halfway through

466
00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:11,959
Speaker 1: he was like, I don't want to talk about that anymore.

467
00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:14,440
Speaker 1: I just want to talk about football whereat. But he started,

468
00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:17,119
Speaker 1: as you know, he kind of he had some interesting quotes,

469
00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:18,600
Speaker 1: you know, he said, you know, it's been tough to

470
00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:21,200
Speaker 1: have your reputation dragged through the mud and things like that.

471
00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:25,040
Speaker 1: But he came across as like just really calm and

472
00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:27,800
Speaker 1: handled it a lot more smoothly than maybe I thought

473
00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:30,080
Speaker 1: he would. Let's listen to one of them. It talks

474
00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:32,960
Speaker 1: about him being relieved that this whole thing was over.

475
00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:37,760
Speaker 1: I just relieve, just relieve the fact that, you know,

476
00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:40,800
Speaker 1: I'll finally get a fair trial, I'll finally get a

477
00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:45,399
Speaker 1: chance to to prove my innocense, And just happy that

478
00:23:45,440 --> 00:23:48,080
Speaker 1: I'm able to be with these guys for as long

479
00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:50,840
Speaker 1: as this permitted, you know, just not having a mistime

480
00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:54,480
Speaker 1: and not being away from them, you know, I think

481
00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:57,600
Speaker 1: that was one thing that they were really the Cowboys

482
00:23:57,600 --> 00:24:00,800
Speaker 1: were really concerned about. When you're talking about a guy

483
00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:06,040
Speaker 1: that is suspended and look at all of the things

484
00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:08,560
Speaker 1: that has happened, you know, and when it happened a

485
00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:11,040
Speaker 1: lot of times it's the offseason. So if he gets

486
00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:14,240
Speaker 1: suspended for six games, now, the offseason kind of comes

487
00:24:14,280 --> 00:24:16,880
Speaker 1: back again, and that idle time is not really a

488
00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:19,719
Speaker 1: good thing for Zeke and the Cowboys. So it's one

489
00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:22,760
Speaker 1: of those things amber that it's better obviously for the

490
00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:25,400
Speaker 1: Cowboys that he's playing. It's also better that he's here

491
00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:29,880
Speaker 1: and in a structure and around his team. Yeah, I mean, surprisingly,

492
00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:33,320
Speaker 1: it surprised me the way he answered everything. One he

493
00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:36,760
Speaker 1: played pretty well considering everything that was going on around

494
00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:40,960
Speaker 1: his life right now. And two just the way he answered.

495
00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:43,800
Speaker 1: We all know him, we know how he acts, and

496
00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:49,160
Speaker 1: he's not necessarily the most spoken guy out there. And

497
00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:53,040
Speaker 1: for him to answer that and to say that specific quote,

498
00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:55,760
Speaker 1: I think it's said a lot about him and everything

499
00:24:55,760 --> 00:24:58,280
Speaker 1: that's going on right now. And we have another clip,

500
00:24:58,359 --> 00:25:02,000
Speaker 1: Ken if we can play him, um about him just

501
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:04,359
Speaker 1: his focus, you know, and how and why he was

502
00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:07,040
Speaker 1: able to stay focused and have his other support. Can

503
00:25:07,080 --> 00:25:09,639
Speaker 1: we play that next clip? It just feels good to

504
00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:12,120
Speaker 1: be out here with these boys. Um, you know, it's

505
00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:15,240
Speaker 1: definitely been a tough last fourteen months, saying you know,

506
00:25:15,320 --> 00:25:17,679
Speaker 1: at times it's gotten so hard and you know you

507
00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:19,920
Speaker 1: start to lose faith. But you know, just being able

508
00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:22,040
Speaker 1: to come in and be with these boys every day

509
00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:25,760
Speaker 1: has kept me focusing, you know, made me you know, uh,

510
00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:30,000
Speaker 1: not give up and keep going. That one really made

511
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:33,879
Speaker 1: me feel for him fourteen months. Well, that's and the

512
00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:36,159
Speaker 1: I guess and that really stood out to me. That

513
00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:38,680
Speaker 1: was his first quote, That was the first thing he said,

514
00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:40,960
Speaker 1: first answer of the night, and he kind of brought

515
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:43,280
Speaker 1: it up himself. He's like, it's been tough fourteen months.

516
00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:46,720
Speaker 1: You know, I've lost a little bit of faith. While

517
00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:48,760
Speaker 1: you know, you heard the quote yourself, and I just

518
00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:50,320
Speaker 1: the fact that he was willing to kind of delve

519
00:25:50,359 --> 00:25:52,240
Speaker 1: into it without needing to be probe. I thought it

520
00:25:52,280 --> 00:25:54,520
Speaker 1: was really interesting. He kind of showed a willingness to

521
00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:56,400
Speaker 1: look at it a little bit more than I thought

522
00:25:56,440 --> 00:25:58,640
Speaker 1: he would. And and to your point, I mean, we

523
00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:00,680
Speaker 1: we know his demeanor, we know what he's like. I

524
00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:04,080
Speaker 1: my guess was that he would have gotten frustrated by

525
00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:06,680
Speaker 1: all of that. You're just with eighty five people trying

526
00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:10,240
Speaker 1: to talk to him about this sordid experience happening to

527
00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:12,480
Speaker 1: him that he probably really doesn't want to get into.

528
00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:16,800
Speaker 1: I thought he would have handled it poorly, especially considering

529
00:26:16,840 --> 00:26:18,520
Speaker 1: he hasn't had to talk about it in the last

530
00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:21,280
Speaker 1: eight weeks. I can't remember who it was around here,

531
00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:25,200
Speaker 1: wasn't on our show, but where they've kind of said

532
00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:28,159
Speaker 1: that in the last training the last few weeks training camp,

533
00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:30,400
Speaker 1: that he looks about the same and all that, which

534
00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:32,240
Speaker 1: I can't remember who it was, but I think he

535
00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:35,439
Speaker 1: looks completely different as far as his demeanor. You know,

536
00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:38,119
Speaker 1: he doesn't seem like he's having as much fun as

537
00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:40,280
Speaker 1: he's had. I'm not saying that he's going around pouting.

538
00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:43,600
Speaker 1: It's just that you can tell this thing has kind

539
00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:47,439
Speaker 1: of either humbled him or he's well when something like

540
00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:51,280
Speaker 1: that it's happening, obviously, you can't act like that like

541
00:26:51,359 --> 00:26:53,320
Speaker 1: you used to. Just even in the jumping around in

542
00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:55,960
Speaker 1: front of everything, you know, there wasn't a whole lot.

543
00:26:56,080 --> 00:26:59,040
Speaker 1: I mean he was trying. He just looked tired. Yeah,

544
00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:01,320
Speaker 1: I mean even that thirty yard run at the end.

545
00:27:01,320 --> 00:27:04,760
Speaker 1: I mean he's he's just tired, and I think mentally

546
00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:07,080
Speaker 1: it's it's kind of just been weighing on him. And

547
00:27:07,119 --> 00:27:10,280
Speaker 1: I think physically, you wonder because it's week one, I

548
00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:12,239
Speaker 1: mean you're supposed to have a little juice here, and

549
00:27:12,359 --> 00:27:14,520
Speaker 1: you wonder if maybe he can kind of get it

550
00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:17,200
Speaker 1: cranking a little bit. But of course, again, if that's tired,

551
00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:21,360
Speaker 1: one hundred and forty total yards against the defense, that good.

552
00:27:21,359 --> 00:27:24,800
Speaker 1: If that's tired, I'll take it right. Although you know

553
00:27:25,280 --> 00:27:27,119
Speaker 1: it's interesting though, because I would agree. I mean, I

554
00:27:27,160 --> 00:27:29,640
Speaker 1: was gonna say I feel mentally drained by the whole thing,

555
00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:31,879
Speaker 1: and it doesn't really affect my life at all, so

556
00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:34,440
Speaker 1: I can only imagine how he feels. But having said that,

557
00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:36,960
Speaker 1: another good quote that he had from that whole thing

558
00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:40,399
Speaker 1: was that he said, you know, he's like, whatever it is,

559
00:27:40,440 --> 00:27:42,040
Speaker 1: I got to block it out and continue to be

560
00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:45,680
Speaker 1: myself because I'm a high energy guy and I think

561
00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:47,600
Speaker 1: I'm good for this locker room and I need to

562
00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:49,680
Speaker 1: be that for the guys in here. And I think

563
00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:53,520
Speaker 1: anybody that was around this team knows that he did

564
00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:56,440
Speaker 1: have a real impact on this team last year. His attitude,

565
00:27:56,600 --> 00:27:59,200
Speaker 1: his demeanor, the way he approached things. I think it

566
00:27:59,840 --> 00:28:03,960
Speaker 1: ubbed off on Jason Witten, who's the most businesslike professional

567
00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:05,720
Speaker 1: guy in the locker room. So if it rubbed off

568
00:28:05,760 --> 00:28:08,560
Speaker 1: on him, you know everybody else was too, And a

569
00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:10,639
Speaker 1: lot of people, you know, they say, oh see he

570
00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:13,280
Speaker 1: doesn't care. He you know, he is who he is.

571
00:28:13,320 --> 00:28:15,919
Speaker 1: He doesn't give a crap of everything that's going on,

572
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:19,359
Speaker 1: whatever whatever. But just listening to that last quote, it

573
00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:24,760
Speaker 1: sounded pretty humbly and it sounded pretty honest. So it definitely,

574
00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:27,679
Speaker 1: at least for me, it started kind of changing my

575
00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:31,760
Speaker 1: whole perspective of things and seeing it a different way

576
00:28:31,800 --> 00:28:34,480
Speaker 1: than what it has been, just because we haven't. First

577
00:28:34,520 --> 00:28:37,000
Speaker 1: of all, we have not heard him speak on the

578
00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:40,280
Speaker 1: whole subject, and this was the first time. So now

579
00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:43,120
Speaker 1: you're starting to get his side a little bit and

580
00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:46,320
Speaker 1: kind of form a different opinion of everything that's going on. Yeah,

581
00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:49,560
Speaker 1: and it is good to kind of have him have

582
00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:52,880
Speaker 1: that attitude because you know, he's been a free spirit.

583
00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:54,720
Speaker 1: He's been a guy that's that's kind of does it,

584
00:28:54,920 --> 00:28:57,520
Speaker 1: you know, his own thing, and and you know, he

585
00:28:57,560 --> 00:28:59,800
Speaker 1: goes to the beat of his own drum. And if

586
00:28:59,840 --> 00:29:04,080
Speaker 1: he gets six games wiped off the docket here, you

587
00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:06,960
Speaker 1: kind of wonder, like, Okay, you know, he already kind

588
00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:09,920
Speaker 1: of seems like he feels invincible. What's this going to do?

589
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:12,600
Speaker 1: But I guess it's kind of refreshing to know that

590
00:29:12,840 --> 00:29:16,440
Speaker 1: this has affected him and maybe maybe that's kind of

591
00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:20,200
Speaker 1: what he needs. And you know, not to compare players,

592
00:29:20,240 --> 00:29:23,080
Speaker 1: but you know, Dez had a lot of maturity issues

593
00:29:23,080 --> 00:29:25,720
Speaker 1: and you can say that he still does into some degree,

594
00:29:25,800 --> 00:29:27,920
Speaker 1: but but he's you know, you can see a different

595
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:30,160
Speaker 1: guy than when he walked into this locker room, and

596
00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:32,800
Speaker 1: he kind of hope the same thing will happen with him.

597
00:29:33,040 --> 00:29:35,680
Speaker 1: But you know, after the touchdown, did you see after

598
00:29:35,680 --> 00:29:40,360
Speaker 1: Witten's touchdown, him and Zeke had some kind of handshake

599
00:29:40,520 --> 00:29:45,280
Speaker 1: or something. Something would have been a penalty actually last year. Yeah,

600
00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:50,480
Speaker 1: I mean, and I always think orchestrated celebrations are kind

601
00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:53,400
Speaker 1: of interesting to me because it looks it makes it fun. No,

602
00:29:53,480 --> 00:29:55,760
Speaker 1: it looks cool. But what I always think about is

603
00:29:55,880 --> 00:29:58,640
Speaker 1: the Saturday night before, you know, did you push your

604
00:29:59,280 --> 00:30:01,600
Speaker 1: bed to the side out to the hotel room and

605
00:30:01,640 --> 00:30:04,240
Speaker 1: you're working on your thing. How many celebrations have never

606
00:30:04,320 --> 00:30:06,880
Speaker 1: have we never seen, you know, a lot some third

607
00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:09,760
Speaker 1: receiver that's like, I'm gonna do this, you Ryce Butler,

608
00:30:10,120 --> 00:30:13,880
Speaker 1: Rice Butler has choreographed so many touchdowns that he's never had.

609
00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:18,280
Speaker 1: But but but where does the Witten Zeke thing like, Hey,

610
00:30:18,560 --> 00:30:20,240
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do this and then you do this and

611
00:30:20,240 --> 00:30:23,000
Speaker 1: then I'm gonna I mean, where does that happen those two?

612
00:30:23,080 --> 00:30:25,160
Speaker 1: It might be a little more organic than you think,

613
00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:27,479
Speaker 1: because I mean they go how many reps do they

614
00:30:27,520 --> 00:30:31,440
Speaker 1: do for practice? Fifty? Yeah, so that's almost seventy five

615
00:30:31,520 --> 00:30:33,920
Speaker 1: reps a week. And you know, maybe Witten scores on

616
00:30:33,960 --> 00:30:36,600
Speaker 1: that play on Thursday afternoon and Zeke kind of runs

617
00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:38,840
Speaker 1: up to them and they're like, all right, we'll work

618
00:30:38,880 --> 00:30:42,120
Speaker 1: on that later. I don't know when I would be

619
00:30:42,240 --> 00:30:45,120
Speaker 1: doing this highline just watching from them there, just seeing

620
00:30:45,160 --> 00:30:47,000
Speaker 1: them on the bench. I mean a lot of them

621
00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:50,360
Speaker 1: have their own little secret handshake. No secret, guess you're

622
00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:52,840
Speaker 1: showing it to everyone, but yeah, their own little handshake.

623
00:30:52,920 --> 00:30:55,360
Speaker 1: And what's funny is when you come when you see

624
00:30:55,360 --> 00:30:58,520
Speaker 1: some of these guys coming off the field just completely

625
00:30:58,560 --> 00:31:00,600
Speaker 1: out of breath and they just want to like sit

626
00:31:00,640 --> 00:31:03,600
Speaker 1: down or like take a drink some water or whatever.

627
00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:06,520
Speaker 1: There's still someone that comes over trying to do the

628
00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:09,240
Speaker 1: handshake and the guy is like, all right, yeah, like

629
00:31:09,400 --> 00:31:12,680
Speaker 1: here whatever y'all. I was gonna ask, do y'all have

630
00:31:12,760 --> 00:31:15,560
Speaker 1: something like that? We're not gonna show it here, save

631
00:31:15,640 --> 00:31:17,840
Speaker 1: it for game day? Yeah, I like it. Maybe a Friday,

632
00:31:18,280 --> 00:31:20,240
Speaker 1: yea Ariday when we do the prediction. Nick I was

633
00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:21,960
Speaker 1: gonna say, we have a cut of him talking about

634
00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:24,680
Speaker 1: Witton after the game and his relationship with Witten. If

635
00:31:24,680 --> 00:31:29,600
Speaker 1: you bring it here straight from Zeke special man, what's

636
00:31:29,640 --> 00:31:34,400
Speaker 1: been a big mentoring me. He's you know, heard me

637
00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:37,120
Speaker 1: at my lowest points. He's he's been able to talk

638
00:31:37,120 --> 00:31:39,920
Speaker 1: to when I'm at my highest point saying you know,

639
00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:43,239
Speaker 1: He's just has been nothing but I can't think of

640
00:31:43,240 --> 00:31:45,280
Speaker 1: a word. He's been nothing but inspiration to me and

641
00:31:45,600 --> 00:31:48,440
Speaker 1: just a reason to go out there and play better song.

642
00:31:48,520 --> 00:31:51,680
Speaker 1: I'm I'm glad to see him. I reached out milestone

643
00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:55,880
Speaker 1: and he's very worthy of it. Wow. You know what's

644
00:31:55,960 --> 00:32:00,640
Speaker 1: interesting about that relationship other than the fact that there's

645
00:32:00,640 --> 00:32:03,480
Speaker 1: about as opposite as you can get, except for the

646
00:32:03,520 --> 00:32:07,360
Speaker 1: fact that they both love football. They love the game

647
00:32:07,480 --> 00:32:09,080
Speaker 1: well that they do, but I mean it's one thing

648
00:32:09,080 --> 00:32:10,840
Speaker 1: to play sort of thing to love the game, and

649
00:32:10,880 --> 00:32:14,800
Speaker 1: I really think that they do. But you know, remember

650
00:32:15,040 --> 00:32:18,920
Speaker 1: Jason Witten's background and how he grew up. Yeah, he

651
00:32:18,960 --> 00:32:21,320
Speaker 1: grew up in a in a in a a in

652
00:32:21,360 --> 00:32:24,120
Speaker 1: a house where he had some domestic violence with his

653
00:32:24,280 --> 00:32:27,440
Speaker 1: with his dad um and and I'm not saying that

654
00:32:27,560 --> 00:32:29,480
Speaker 1: Zeke is you know, I'm not trying to break put

655
00:32:29,560 --> 00:32:33,440
Speaker 1: him in anything, you know, allegations towards him. But it's

656
00:32:33,480 --> 00:32:36,360
Speaker 1: got to be an interesting situation for Witten. But you know,

657
00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:38,240
Speaker 1: they've had some talks there and so for them to

658
00:32:38,280 --> 00:32:40,840
Speaker 1: form a good relationship like that is impressive. The other

659
00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:42,840
Speaker 1: thing I think is worth pointing out is it and

660
00:32:42,840 --> 00:32:45,320
Speaker 1: we talked about this at training camp at least, if

661
00:32:45,360 --> 00:32:48,880
Speaker 1: not many more times. Is like, Witten is not that

662
00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:52,080
Speaker 1: take you under my wing kind of guy, Like he'll

663
00:32:52,080 --> 00:32:55,400
Speaker 1: show you the way by example. But you know he's

664
00:32:55,480 --> 00:33:00,000
Speaker 1: not mentoring Gavin Escobar or Rico Gathers or Martellis Bennett

665
00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:03,480
Speaker 1: like that. He's not that Wait wait, wait, he's not

666
00:33:03,560 --> 00:33:09,240
Speaker 1: gonna bring tight ends. Well, no, it's it's a little

667
00:33:09,280 --> 00:33:10,920
Speaker 1: bit different. Yeah, it is a little bit different, but

668
00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:16,280
Speaker 1: still like Witten's interest in developing that relationship is really

669
00:33:16,600 --> 00:33:18,960
Speaker 1: interesting to me. I mean, yeah, you want him to

670
00:33:18,960 --> 00:33:22,080
Speaker 1: play well, but he's twenty two year old running back

671
00:33:22,120 --> 00:33:25,320
Speaker 1: who you know, on top of the world. Like, what

672
00:33:25,360 --> 00:33:27,480
Speaker 1: do they really have in common other than like their

673
00:33:27,520 --> 00:33:30,040
Speaker 1: love for football. But I honestly think, if I had

674
00:33:30,040 --> 00:33:32,960
Speaker 1: to guess, I think it's Witten can tell how much

675
00:33:33,080 --> 00:33:36,160
Speaker 1: Zeke loves the game, and Witten can probably tell how

676
00:33:36,440 --> 00:33:39,840
Speaker 1: great Zeke could be if he can just stay focused

677
00:33:39,840 --> 00:33:42,560
Speaker 1: on being great at football. And and I think, you know,

678
00:33:42,880 --> 00:33:44,800
Speaker 1: from one guy, I mean a guy that's going into

679
00:33:44,800 --> 00:33:47,000
Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame to a guy that has that potential,

680
00:33:47,040 --> 00:33:50,600
Speaker 1: I think he probably I don't know you, I don't

681
00:33:50,680 --> 00:33:52,800
Speaker 1: think owes it to himself. Is like the right word.

682
00:33:52,840 --> 00:33:54,840
Speaker 1: But he wants to do what he can to try

683
00:33:54,880 --> 00:33:57,960
Speaker 1: to keep Zeke from screwing this up. But it makes

684
00:33:58,000 --> 00:34:04,000
Speaker 1: me feel young. He did say about, yeah, rejuvenated around

685
00:34:04,040 --> 00:34:08,360
Speaker 1: all these guys. You know, DeMarco Murray, same type of

686
00:34:08,400 --> 00:34:12,120
Speaker 1: thing three or four years ago. He looked at Witten

687
00:34:12,239 --> 00:34:14,480
Speaker 1: as well, and everything that Witten did it when it

688
00:34:14,560 --> 00:34:18,000
Speaker 1: comes to you know, practice habits and putting your pads

689
00:34:18,040 --> 00:34:20,480
Speaker 1: on and and what kind of gloves and cleats. I mean,

690
00:34:20,520 --> 00:34:23,359
Speaker 1: he looked at him and he even talked about at

691
00:34:23,360 --> 00:34:25,080
Speaker 1: the Pro Bowl this last year when I got to

692
00:34:25,160 --> 00:34:27,960
Speaker 1: run into him, he was with and he was with

693
00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:31,160
Speaker 1: the Chiefs because he was wearing this bright red it

694
00:34:31,200 --> 00:34:33,359
Speaker 1: was the Titans. He's with the Titans, but he looked

695
00:34:33,360 --> 00:34:35,440
Speaker 1: like he was playing for the Chiefs in that AFC uniform.

696
00:34:35,440 --> 00:34:38,319
Speaker 1: But he basically was just saying how Jason Witten helped

697
00:34:38,520 --> 00:34:41,080
Speaker 1: his whole career. But I would say, and I remember that,

698
00:34:41,120 --> 00:34:43,640
Speaker 1: and I remember the year DeMarco one Offensive Player of

699
00:34:43,640 --> 00:34:45,640
Speaker 1: the Year. He gave Whitten a lot of credit. He

700
00:34:45,640 --> 00:34:47,600
Speaker 1: worked out with him in the offseason. He kind of

701
00:34:47,880 --> 00:34:50,240
Speaker 1: did what he did. Everything Witten did to get ready.

702
00:34:50,520 --> 00:34:53,600
Speaker 1: I still don't remember Witten and DeMarco being as chummy

703
00:34:53,640 --> 00:34:56,839
Speaker 1: as Witten and Zeke are. No, Like Witten and Zeke

704
00:34:56,920 --> 00:35:01,120
Speaker 1: have this really interesting, funny like big brother little brother thing,

705
00:35:01,120 --> 00:35:03,600
Speaker 1: whereas Witten and DeMarco to me were kind of like

706
00:35:03,840 --> 00:35:06,400
Speaker 1: colleagues who respected each other. Like he didn't get that,

707
00:35:06,960 --> 00:35:09,160
Speaker 1: And see him hugging on each other and doing little

708
00:35:09,200 --> 00:35:11,400
Speaker 1: handshakes in the end zone. I don't remember that. So

709
00:35:11,560 --> 00:35:13,960
Speaker 1: it's interesting. All right, real quick before we go to

710
00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:18,360
Speaker 1: another break, suck about some some injury news that we

711
00:35:18,480 --> 00:35:23,840
Speaker 1: know of Scandrick head surgery, yes yesterday. What what are

712
00:35:23,840 --> 00:35:26,239
Speaker 1: we feeling about him? He was supposed to have it

713
00:35:26,320 --> 00:35:28,600
Speaker 1: last night. I guess I haven't talked to anybody since

714
00:35:28,600 --> 00:35:32,120
Speaker 1: he had it. But the feeling is that, assuming all

715
00:35:32,200 --> 00:35:35,959
Speaker 1: goes well, I don't get the feeling he'll be ready

716
00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:39,799
Speaker 1: for Denver. But no, it doesn't seem as so maybe

717
00:35:39,800 --> 00:35:42,759
Speaker 1: not Arizona, but at least you're thinking week three, week four,

718
00:35:42,800 --> 00:35:44,560
Speaker 1: week five, like it's not something that's going to hold

719
00:35:44,600 --> 00:35:47,359
Speaker 1: him out for too too long. It's on speaking of him,

720
00:35:47,440 --> 00:35:51,000
Speaker 1: it's very reminiscent of the DeMarco Murray hand injury from

721
00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:53,399
Speaker 1: twenty fourteen. I don't know if it's the exact same thing,

722
00:35:53,440 --> 00:35:56,440
Speaker 1: but it's reminiscent of that lade that I did play. Yes,

723
00:35:56,520 --> 00:35:59,040
Speaker 1: DeMarco did play six days later, and it's one of

724
00:35:59,040 --> 00:36:04,000
Speaker 1: the writers pointed out to me. He said, I think

725
00:36:04,040 --> 00:36:06,040
Speaker 1: he could cast him up in place like he's gonna

726
00:36:06,040 --> 00:36:09,520
Speaker 1: catch the ball anyways, Scandrick, I wasn't gonna say that,

727
00:36:09,560 --> 00:36:13,719
Speaker 1: but yeah, so, um, it's not. It's not supposed to

728
00:36:13,760 --> 00:36:17,320
Speaker 1: be too long of a of a of a I

729
00:36:17,800 --> 00:36:19,920
Speaker 1: talk today absence, thank you. Yeah, he's not supposed to

730
00:36:19,960 --> 00:36:23,400
Speaker 1: be out for too long. Um cheeto a woozier thinged

731
00:36:23,440 --> 00:36:26,520
Speaker 1: his ankle like on the last player that Jason Garrett said,

732
00:36:26,719 --> 00:36:29,040
Speaker 1: Um there, they got an eye on him, but it

733
00:36:29,040 --> 00:36:32,120
Speaker 1: doesn't seem he seems like he's okay. So but you know,

734
00:36:32,239 --> 00:36:34,839
Speaker 1: if he pops up on the injury report tomorrow, don't

735
00:36:34,840 --> 00:36:37,120
Speaker 1: be surprised. But I don't get the feeling that it's

736
00:36:37,280 --> 00:36:42,080
Speaker 1: super serious. And Terrence Williams he I don't think that's

737
00:36:42,120 --> 00:36:45,160
Speaker 1: gonna be a situation where he's gonna need anything more

738
00:36:45,280 --> 00:36:47,759
Speaker 1: than just rest on it. Yeah, I mean, and and

739
00:36:47,840 --> 00:36:50,480
Speaker 1: he said, if it comes to just playing with Paine,

740
00:36:51,800 --> 00:36:55,040
Speaker 1: forget it. Deal with it, man, in the end, like,

741
00:36:56,160 --> 00:36:58,520
Speaker 1: that's such a good quote. I like we should be

742
00:36:58,600 --> 00:37:00,560
Speaker 1: allowed to say it and use it because it really

743
00:37:00,719 --> 00:37:02,719
Speaker 1: get it. But that's not what he said. It was

744
00:37:02,760 --> 00:37:05,439
Speaker 1: something like that, I know, but it really hammers home.

745
00:37:05,520 --> 00:37:07,399
Speaker 1: It's such a great quote if you're able to use

746
00:37:07,440 --> 00:37:12,200
Speaker 1: it unfiltered. Yep. Maybe maybe in about ten years, twenty years,

747
00:37:12,280 --> 00:37:15,040
Speaker 1: we'll get to that point where it's all yeah, I

748
00:37:15,120 --> 00:37:17,120
Speaker 1: doubt it. All right, let's take our last break. We'll

749
00:37:17,200 --> 00:37:20,040
Speaker 1: come back. Amer's got a game for us. I don't

750
00:37:20,040 --> 00:37:21,680
Speaker 1: think she even knows about it, but she's gonna be

751
00:37:21,680 --> 00:37:23,360
Speaker 1: able to work up a game here. And what do

752
00:37:23,440 --> 00:37:25,960
Speaker 1: we go to break? To work this big land? You

753
00:37:26,040 --> 00:37:29,160
Speaker 1: need equipment with values rooted as deep in Texas soil

754
00:37:29,200 --> 00:37:32,400
Speaker 1: as you are, like John Deer Compact tractors with a

755
00:37:32,440 --> 00:37:35,160
Speaker 1: six year power training warrant to him. Big features that

756
00:37:35,360 --> 00:37:37,480
Speaker 1: help you work less so you have more time to

757
00:37:37,560 --> 00:37:39,799
Speaker 1: do what you love. John Deer was first in the

758
00:37:39,840 --> 00:37:42,240
Speaker 1: Texas fields, and we're proud to be on the field

Speaker 1: n Amber, you had two minutes to come up with

796
00:39:36,640 --> 00:39:37,960
Speaker 1: a game. Did you come up with the game? Ce?

797
00:39:38,080 --> 00:39:42,160
Speaker 1: Or No? We're not playing cr no today. But let's

798
00:39:42,200 --> 00:39:44,600
Speaker 1: just go ahead and answer some Twitter question, all right,

799
00:39:45,040 --> 00:39:48,520
Speaker 1: that a lot of people have concerns and wondering about

800
00:39:48,760 --> 00:39:55,440
Speaker 1: Jordan Lewis situation. What's the update on that? Ah? Actually, um,

801
00:39:55,480 --> 00:39:57,879
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna They're expecting him to mix into

802
00:39:57,880 --> 00:40:00,680
Speaker 1: practice tomorrow, So it's im I'm not gonna sit here

803
00:40:00,719 --> 00:40:03,759
Speaker 1: on Tuesday and say he's gonna play Sunday, considering he's

804
00:40:03,920 --> 00:40:08,120
Speaker 1: had maybe three NFL practices to his name. But I

805
00:40:08,160 --> 00:40:09,879
Speaker 1: think they're gonna try to get him ready. I think

806
00:40:09,880 --> 00:40:12,799
Speaker 1: they feel good about him, So keep an eye on

807
00:40:12,920 --> 00:40:15,840
Speaker 1: him and maybe, just maybe he will be ready to

808
00:40:15,880 --> 00:40:19,879
Speaker 1: play against Denver. I would think ben Wickery will also

809
00:40:20,040 --> 00:40:22,319
Speaker 1: factor into this or anything. He'll be active on this one.

810
00:40:22,360 --> 00:40:24,520
Speaker 1: I mean would I would imagine he's a veteran. They

811
00:40:24,560 --> 00:40:26,520
Speaker 1: brought him in, I would think, see, I don't. But

812
00:40:26,680 --> 00:40:28,880
Speaker 1: that's the thing. If they can get Jordan Lewis up

813
00:40:28,920 --> 00:40:31,319
Speaker 1: and they feel good about what he can do, you

814
00:40:31,400 --> 00:40:34,080
Speaker 1: only owe Cincinnati that draft pick if you put Ben

815
00:40:34,080 --> 00:40:38,280
Speaker 1: Wickery on the forty six. So yeah, you technically traded

816
00:40:38,320 --> 00:40:41,279
Speaker 1: for him, but if it's actually good for you, if

817
00:40:41,280 --> 00:40:43,680
Speaker 1: he doesn't need to suit up, because then you can

818
00:40:43,760 --> 00:40:46,480
Speaker 1: just I mean, sorry, ben a, but then you can

819
00:40:46,520 --> 00:40:48,360
Speaker 1: cut him and you don't have to give up a

820
00:40:48,440 --> 00:40:51,279
Speaker 1: draft pick. And that's one thing about him he will

821
00:40:51,320 --> 00:40:54,200
Speaker 1: get signed, but he'll also get cut. He's been with

822
00:40:54,239 --> 00:40:56,960
Speaker 1: what six teams? I think five? Yeah, or maybe this

823
00:40:57,040 --> 00:40:59,000
Speaker 1: is his six, but yeah, I mean that's that's life

824
00:40:59,040 --> 00:41:03,000
Speaker 1: in the NFL. So it's in the Cowboys' best interest

825
00:41:03,040 --> 00:41:05,360
Speaker 1: to get Jordan Lewis ready to play, which is why

826
00:41:05,480 --> 00:41:07,600
Speaker 1: I think they will give that a good shot this

827
00:41:07,600 --> 00:41:10,760
Speaker 1: week and see what they can do. Questions about tackle Charlton,

828
00:41:10,880 --> 00:41:14,600
Speaker 1: We didn't really talk much about him in regards to

829
00:41:14,680 --> 00:41:18,000
Speaker 1: last game against the Giants. Thoughts for this upcoming games?

830
00:41:18,400 --> 00:41:21,680
Speaker 1: Do you think that against Denver he will be his

831
00:41:21,800 --> 00:41:24,120
Speaker 1: name will pop up a little more, he will be

832
00:41:24,440 --> 00:41:28,879
Speaker 1: doing something worth I don't know hawking about. I mean,

833
00:41:28,920 --> 00:41:32,800
Speaker 1: he he played something. He didn't get in until was

834
00:41:32,840 --> 00:41:35,680
Speaker 1: it second quarter? He didn't get in right away, but

835
00:41:35,760 --> 00:41:38,200
Speaker 1: he did. He rotated pretty good toward the end of

836
00:41:38,239 --> 00:41:40,080
Speaker 1: the game. He played a lot of right end, which

837
00:41:40,160 --> 00:41:42,759
Speaker 1: I I don't know if I think that's surprising. I

838
00:41:42,800 --> 00:41:45,880
Speaker 1: think he's better suited to be on the left side

839
00:41:45,880 --> 00:41:48,359
Speaker 1: at some point, I mean, something's got to give. From

840
00:41:48,360 --> 00:41:54,040
Speaker 1: the inactive standpoint, after this game, right Taper her made

841
00:41:54,080 --> 00:41:56,640
Speaker 1: sure to say, hey, you know it's not gonna be

842
00:41:56,719 --> 00:41:59,359
Speaker 1: me and now it still might be, you know, when

843
00:41:59,400 --> 00:42:03,080
Speaker 1: Demontre war comes back. But it's not like Demontre Moore

844
00:42:04,680 --> 00:42:06,640
Speaker 1: has to come in and play. I mean, he could

845
00:42:06,640 --> 00:42:09,239
Speaker 1: be inactive. He doesn't have to come in. Do you

846
00:42:09,400 --> 00:42:13,440
Speaker 1: choose over time, No, no, no, no, not over Tapper.

847
00:42:13,680 --> 00:42:16,680
Speaker 1: I just think I mean, we like Demontre Moore and

848
00:42:16,680 --> 00:42:19,600
Speaker 1: he's done some good things, but usually in the preseason

849
00:42:19,640 --> 00:42:23,040
Speaker 1: he's done some things, and in the second third quarter

850
00:42:23,160 --> 00:42:27,359
Speaker 1: when he's playing up against some lower tier tackles. I mean,

851
00:42:27,840 --> 00:42:30,880
Speaker 1: I don't remember him just killing Tyrn Smith and even

852
00:42:31,120 --> 00:42:33,560
Speaker 1: Layelle that much. I reserve the right to be wrong,

853
00:42:33,640 --> 00:42:36,439
Speaker 1: but I just he was way too impactful all through

854
00:42:36,520 --> 00:42:39,439
Speaker 1: camp and the preseason to not even suit up once

855
00:42:39,440 --> 00:42:41,160
Speaker 1: he's ready to go. Like I said, I think he

856
00:42:41,200 --> 00:42:44,680
Speaker 1: went from he went from like afterthought too. We gotta

857
00:42:44,719 --> 00:42:46,959
Speaker 1: get this guy back over the course of that month

858
00:42:47,040 --> 00:42:50,239
Speaker 1: that we were in California. So the fact that they

859
00:42:50,280 --> 00:42:52,960
Speaker 1: signed him knowing that he was going to be suspended

860
00:42:53,040 --> 00:42:55,600
Speaker 1: just tells you that they had it. I'd be I'd

861
00:42:55,600 --> 00:42:58,080
Speaker 1: be stunned if they don't immediately have a role for him.

862
00:42:58,120 --> 00:43:00,600
Speaker 1: And and that's the other thing. So he's allowed to

863
00:43:00,640 --> 00:43:03,120
Speaker 1: be here at the facility, and David Irving's not and

864
00:43:03,160 --> 00:43:06,080
Speaker 1: he's taken advantage of it. He's here working and getting

865
00:43:06,120 --> 00:43:07,840
Speaker 1: ready for when he can come back. And you know

866
00:43:07,880 --> 00:43:10,719
Speaker 1: what I mean, Well, the Denver is it doesn't count

867
00:43:10,719 --> 00:43:13,319
Speaker 1: for Denver, okay, But actually Arizona would be another one

868
00:43:13,360 --> 00:43:17,080
Speaker 1: because uh, they'll I wonder if they'll play indoors, probably

869
00:43:17,120 --> 00:43:20,280
Speaker 1: be indoors. Don't you think Arizona September Phoenix. I would

870
00:43:20,360 --> 00:43:23,240
Speaker 1: imagine that they're Well, yeah, my point is is nine

871
00:43:24,040 --> 00:43:27,200
Speaker 1: nine defensive linemen is not unheard of. I mean you could,

872
00:43:27,640 --> 00:43:31,040
Speaker 1: you could play nine defensive linemen. Yeah, especially in a

873
00:43:31,120 --> 00:43:33,719
Speaker 1: situation like Denver. You would have liked to do that.

874
00:43:33,880 --> 00:43:37,399
Speaker 1: When you're gonna you're gonna be grasping for air and right.

875
00:43:38,200 --> 00:43:41,720
Speaker 1: You know. Even though I've heard medical trainers say that

876
00:43:41,719 --> 00:43:45,680
Speaker 1: it's not a thing, the outfit who is not a thing.

877
00:43:45,840 --> 00:43:47,879
Speaker 1: It's just a mental thing. It's not a real thing.

878
00:43:48,360 --> 00:43:50,520
Speaker 1: I don't buy that. I don't either. I've been to

879
00:43:50,600 --> 00:43:54,400
Speaker 1: Colorado and I experienced that. And if it's all in

880
00:43:54,440 --> 00:43:56,400
Speaker 1: your head, then that's a crazy Because a lot of

881
00:43:56,400 --> 00:44:00,520
Speaker 1: people said, yeah, um to the Taco point though, I mean,

882
00:44:01,280 --> 00:44:03,719
Speaker 1: you watched it, he didn't he didn't do a whole lot.

883
00:44:03,760 --> 00:44:06,960
Speaker 1: I know he had one play. It was a sterling Shepherd.

884
00:44:07,200 --> 00:44:08,600
Speaker 1: You know. It was kind of like that thing the

885
00:44:08,640 --> 00:44:10,840
Speaker 1: Cowboys used to do with Lucky. I'm sure they'll do

886
00:44:10,880 --> 00:44:13,760
Speaker 1: again where they did the action on the fly sweep.

887
00:44:13,800 --> 00:44:16,160
Speaker 1: They didn't give it to him. Taco bid on the

888
00:44:16,200 --> 00:44:19,160
Speaker 1: fly sweep fake. He probably could have gotten a sack

889
00:44:19,200 --> 00:44:21,480
Speaker 1: if he would just gone at Eli instead, but he

890
00:44:21,719 --> 00:44:24,800
Speaker 1: chased after shepherd and kind of let himself get knocked

891
00:44:24,800 --> 00:44:28,320
Speaker 1: out of the play. I mean it no, I mean TJ.

892
00:44:28,480 --> 00:44:30,920
Speaker 1: Watt had a pick in two sacks and his debut,

893
00:44:31,000 --> 00:44:34,960
Speaker 1: So I know Taco is gonna get not some favorable

894
00:44:34,960 --> 00:44:38,279
Speaker 1: comparisons going forward here. But it is what it is.

895
00:44:38,280 --> 00:44:39,920
Speaker 1: And I mean, I think we said that during training

896
00:44:39,920 --> 00:44:43,239
Speaker 1: camp he's he's not the instant impact defensive end. I

897
00:44:43,239 --> 00:44:46,239
Speaker 1: don't think that was ever the expectation for him. But

898
00:44:47,280 --> 00:44:49,160
Speaker 1: as he gets you know, if there's one thing I

899
00:44:49,160 --> 00:44:50,799
Speaker 1: will say for him, and said, he's got he got

900
00:44:50,840 --> 00:44:54,160
Speaker 1: better as the preseason went along. So regular season's a

901
00:44:54,160 --> 00:44:56,600
Speaker 1: different animal from the preseason. So hopefully with every game

902
00:44:56,640 --> 00:44:58,320
Speaker 1: he gets into he can get, you know, get a

903
00:44:58,360 --> 00:45:01,160
Speaker 1: little bit better. But he looked like a rookie out

904
00:45:01,160 --> 00:45:05,440
Speaker 1: there against the Giants for sure. Thoughts on Switzer's performance.

905
00:45:05,560 --> 00:45:07,960
Speaker 1: We didn't get to see much of him yet, but

906
00:45:08,440 --> 00:45:10,920
Speaker 1: do you guys think that he should be included a

907
00:45:11,000 --> 00:45:14,000
Speaker 1: little more in the game and this upcoming game, should

908
00:45:14,040 --> 00:45:17,840
Speaker 1: the Cowboys put him as a receiver on the field.

909
00:45:18,640 --> 00:45:20,920
Speaker 1: And although that's kind of tough because you see the

910
00:45:21,800 --> 00:45:23,680
Speaker 1: many receivers they had, it, they did put him out

911
00:45:23,719 --> 00:45:25,680
Speaker 1: there a little bit, and uh, you know a Terrence

912
00:45:25,760 --> 00:45:28,759
Speaker 1: was banged up some that he did go out there.

913
00:45:30,000 --> 00:45:31,920
Speaker 1: I think that they're going to have some packages for him.

914
00:45:31,960 --> 00:45:34,200
Speaker 1: Remember it was his first game. He didn't played, you know,

915
00:45:34,200 --> 00:45:36,320
Speaker 1: at all. I thought it was It was interesting to kickoff,

916
00:45:36,480 --> 00:45:38,359
Speaker 1: but he takes the ball, runs straight up the field.

917
00:45:38,400 --> 00:45:40,760
Speaker 1: It's like you've never been hit in the NFL before,

918
00:45:40,840 --> 00:45:44,640
Speaker 1: not even in a preseason game, so you know, welcome

919
00:45:44,680 --> 00:45:46,640
Speaker 1: to the league. I thought he did a nice job

920
00:45:46,640 --> 00:45:50,600
Speaker 1: with those punt returns. I mean, just they weren't even returns.

921
00:45:50,680 --> 00:45:53,360
Speaker 1: Just catch the ball. I'm gonna say, just go up

922
00:45:53,360 --> 00:45:55,000
Speaker 1: there and catch it. Don't let it hit the ground.

923
00:45:55,040 --> 00:45:57,040
Speaker 1: Don't be hesitant about can I get it? Can I

924
00:45:57,040 --> 00:45:58,680
Speaker 1: feel it? Do I see it? Here comes off the

925
00:45:58,719 --> 00:46:01,279
Speaker 1: big board, catch it and then from there, don't do

926
00:46:01,400 --> 00:46:03,960
Speaker 1: a lance Lenoire. No, I mean I thought he would

927
00:46:04,000 --> 00:46:06,319
Speaker 1: be a lucky whitehead. He did good. I mean most

928
00:46:06,360 --> 00:46:08,640
Speaker 1: of the part, most of the time on punt returns,

929
00:46:08,680 --> 00:46:10,719
Speaker 1: just catching the ball because you're not going to get

930
00:46:10,719 --> 00:46:13,560
Speaker 1: a great return, just don't give that field position where

931
00:46:13,560 --> 00:46:15,799
Speaker 1: the ball bounces ten more yards. And I feel like

932
00:46:15,840 --> 00:46:19,120
Speaker 1: it's bad that that's our baseline expectation is catch the ball.

933
00:46:19,280 --> 00:46:21,600
Speaker 1: Like that's just shows you what we've been watching, how

934
00:46:21,640 --> 00:46:24,040
Speaker 1: bad it was before. Well, but no, I thought he

935
00:46:24,080 --> 00:46:27,000
Speaker 1: was good too, because think about where you catch the punt.

936
00:46:27,080 --> 00:46:30,360
Speaker 1: Most of the time, it's about your twenty yard line

937
00:46:30,440 --> 00:46:33,839
Speaker 1: or so. So if you let it bounce, now you're talking,

938
00:46:33,920 --> 00:46:36,400
Speaker 1: you know the big difference. I know yesterday yesterday we

939
00:46:36,400 --> 00:46:38,680
Speaker 1: talked about Chris Jones a little bit. And as great

940
00:46:38,719 --> 00:46:41,279
Speaker 1: as Chris Jones was, punting the ball to the ten

941
00:46:41,400 --> 00:46:45,279
Speaker 1: yard line, like that's great, but the real story is

942
00:46:45,320 --> 00:46:48,680
Speaker 1: the offense. The offense is getting the ball to the

943
00:46:48,719 --> 00:46:52,000
Speaker 1: midfield down it does stall, but the punt admit at

944
00:46:52,000 --> 00:46:55,359
Speaker 1: the fifty, but gives you an opportunity. Even even one

945
00:46:55,440 --> 00:46:58,160
Speaker 1: first down in a possession makes a world of difference. Right,

946
00:46:58,160 --> 00:47:00,200
Speaker 1: if you go three and out from your twenty five,

947
00:47:00,360 --> 00:47:02,399
Speaker 1: you're probably getting them the ball, and now he has

948
00:47:02,440 --> 00:47:05,160
Speaker 1: to pun it differently. Yeah, you know. And so I

949
00:47:05,160 --> 00:47:06,960
Speaker 1: did talk to Chris after the game, and he said

950
00:47:06,960 --> 00:47:10,080
Speaker 1: he'll he'll be out in Denver a little bit earlier

951
00:47:10,080 --> 00:47:12,360
Speaker 1: than he normally is to see that air. And just

952
00:47:12,440 --> 00:47:15,160
Speaker 1: how just because he says, when I'm at midfield, the

953
00:47:15,200 --> 00:47:17,600
Speaker 1: way I angle the ball, I hit it as hard

954
00:47:17,640 --> 00:47:19,840
Speaker 1: as I can and it's only gonna go about forty

955
00:47:20,120 --> 00:47:22,800
Speaker 1: forty one yards. He's like, I'll be anxious to see

956
00:47:23,080 --> 00:47:25,200
Speaker 1: if it goes fifty yards or whatever. I say, you

957
00:47:25,239 --> 00:47:28,279
Speaker 1: have to get gauge that. What would be the most

958
00:47:28,280 --> 00:47:33,840
Speaker 1: concerning position for going against the ben very brown coast

959
00:47:34,440 --> 00:47:37,160
Speaker 1: the position that's in front of von Miller? Yeah, I

960
00:47:37,160 --> 00:47:39,640
Speaker 1: would say, right tackle. I mean, I mean, yes, let's see.

961
00:47:39,800 --> 00:47:41,440
Speaker 1: Do I want to go against Tyrant or I want

962
00:47:41,440 --> 00:47:44,719
Speaker 1: to go against Lyell. He's had three times as many

963
00:47:44,760 --> 00:47:47,360
Speaker 1: Pro Bowls as this guy's head starts. I'm gonna go

964
00:47:47,360 --> 00:47:51,279
Speaker 1: after him, honestly, and no distris. I mean, I think

965
00:47:51,360 --> 00:47:52,960
Speaker 1: von Miller will be a heck of a challenge for

966
00:47:53,000 --> 00:47:55,000
Speaker 1: Tyran too. If he lines up over there. I mean,

967
00:47:55,080 --> 00:47:57,880
Speaker 1: and I think the world of Tyrant, but that is

968
00:47:57,920 --> 00:48:01,440
Speaker 1: a hell. I mean, they literally Rex Ryan, who has

969
00:48:01,480 --> 00:48:04,600
Speaker 1: coached in the NFL for years and years. Von Miller

970
00:48:04,640 --> 00:48:06,799
Speaker 1: got off the ball so quick he was He's like,

971
00:48:06,840 --> 00:48:08,719
Speaker 1: that's all it's got to be offside and there was

972
00:48:08,760 --> 00:48:11,600
Speaker 1: no flag. He's just like, Wow, that was like the

973
00:48:11,640 --> 00:48:13,520
Speaker 1: best jump I've ever seen. I mean, he was in

974
00:48:13,560 --> 00:48:16,960
Speaker 1: the backfield. What I wonder more than anything is how

975
00:48:17,000 --> 00:48:20,719
Speaker 1: they affect the passing game, the tight end. Do we

976
00:48:20,920 --> 00:48:23,560
Speaker 1: see more tight ends? Do you see more Hannah, who,

977
00:48:23,560 --> 00:48:26,160
Speaker 1: by the way, played for the first time in the year, Yeah,

978
00:48:26,239 --> 00:48:29,080
Speaker 1: kind of went unnoticed. We didn't really talk much about him.

979
00:48:29,360 --> 00:48:30,920
Speaker 1: That's kind of the way I think he likes it.

980
00:48:30,960 --> 00:48:33,920
Speaker 1: But you know, Hannah Swam, do you stay on the

981
00:48:34,000 --> 00:48:36,239
Speaker 1: right side and help layl. Are we going to see

982
00:48:36,239 --> 00:48:38,719
Speaker 1: more packages where they have to kind of you know,

983
00:48:39,239 --> 00:48:42,560
Speaker 1: dictate or what they do based off of the fact

984
00:48:42,680 --> 00:48:45,759
Speaker 1: where's von Miller? And we said they struggled against the

985
00:48:45,840 --> 00:48:48,520
Speaker 1: run last year. That's I mean, set up the runs

986
00:48:48,600 --> 00:48:51,080
Speaker 1: so you don't have to rely on Dak being in

987
00:48:51,080 --> 00:48:54,240
Speaker 1: the pocket exactly. And a lot of times the teams

988
00:48:54,239 --> 00:48:56,880
Speaker 1: that have the great pass rushers. They will give up

989
00:48:56,920 --> 00:48:59,200
Speaker 1: the run because that the guy is trying to scream

990
00:48:59,239 --> 00:49:01,320
Speaker 1: off the edge and thing, you know, you just get gashed.

991
00:49:01,719 --> 00:49:04,160
Speaker 1: So it'll be a cat and mouse game to see

992
00:49:04,480 --> 00:49:06,400
Speaker 1: what they do there. I mean the Cowboys will win some,

993
00:49:06,600 --> 00:49:08,839
Speaker 1: but if they get in some third and long situations,

994
00:49:09,920 --> 00:49:12,840
Speaker 1: you'll be you'll be looking at Lyle versus him. Like guarantee.

995
00:49:12,960 --> 00:49:15,000
Speaker 1: That will be a matchup that we talk about this week,

996
00:49:15,040 --> 00:49:17,439
Speaker 1: whether Brian breaks it down or we write a story

997
00:49:17,480 --> 00:49:19,759
Speaker 1: about it, will be match up on how they had

998
00:49:19,800 --> 00:49:22,640
Speaker 1: to stop Bond Miller. Yep. A little opposite from that

999
00:49:23,000 --> 00:49:26,759
Speaker 1: last question. What guy are you guys most excited for

1000
00:49:27,120 --> 00:49:34,359
Speaker 1: to see this weekend Cowboys player? No, I don't know

1001
00:49:34,400 --> 00:49:37,399
Speaker 1: if he'll play, and that's really not a big deal.

1002
00:49:37,440 --> 00:49:38,880
Speaker 1: I got to just kind of make it an issue

1003
00:49:38,880 --> 00:49:41,719
Speaker 1: out of the backup running back doesn't matter. M It's

1004
00:49:41,760 --> 00:49:45,279
Speaker 1: a good, good question. Jalen Smith, that's a good one,

1005
00:49:45,360 --> 00:49:48,440
Speaker 1: he bawled out. He I mean he surassed, He surpassed

1006
00:49:48,680 --> 00:49:52,160
Speaker 1: even the highest expectations you could have had for him.

1007
00:49:52,160 --> 00:49:54,320
Speaker 1: I mean he forced to fumble, he had eight tackles,

1008
00:49:54,360 --> 00:49:56,000
Speaker 1: He was on the field for thirty six out of

1009
00:49:56,000 --> 00:49:59,000
Speaker 1: fifty three snaps. Now, the fun part of the NFL

1010
00:49:59,080 --> 00:50:01,160
Speaker 1: is you got to do it again right in six

1011
00:50:01,239 --> 00:50:03,600
Speaker 1: days time. You gotta. I mean, I'm sure he's feeling

1012
00:50:03,640 --> 00:50:06,960
Speaker 1: it today, you know, yesterday and today. Gotta practice this week,

1013
00:50:07,080 --> 00:50:09,160
Speaker 1: Gotta make sure everything's right and go do it again.

1014
00:50:09,280 --> 00:50:12,520
Speaker 1: That's life in the NFL. So you know what, I'm sorry.

1015
00:50:12,800 --> 00:50:15,200
Speaker 1: Jerry Jones said this morning that he, I mean, he

1016
00:50:15,400 --> 00:50:18,320
Speaker 1: thinks he can handle that workload again against the Broncos.

1017
00:50:18,320 --> 00:50:20,840
Speaker 1: It's not like this is a one off. So I

1018
00:50:20,920 --> 00:50:24,279
Speaker 1: just love that up to this point now we're seeing him.

1019
00:50:24,280 --> 00:50:27,359
Speaker 1: We're not really talking much about his injury. I guess

1020
00:50:27,400 --> 00:50:31,319
Speaker 1: we'll see this weekend, how he dealt with after the game,

1021
00:50:31,440 --> 00:50:35,040
Speaker 1: during this whole week and everything. But it's exciting that

1022
00:50:35,040 --> 00:50:37,680
Speaker 1: that's not really the main topic right now. It's not

1023
00:50:37,760 --> 00:50:42,200
Speaker 1: necessarily his injury. It's more his performance and based on

1024
00:50:42,280 --> 00:50:44,840
Speaker 1: what I've seen so far, even at practice and just

1025
00:50:44,920 --> 00:50:48,680
Speaker 1: watching tape with Brian, a lot of the times he

1026
00:50:49,840 --> 00:50:52,640
Speaker 1: is out there, you know, in position, but it takes

1027
00:50:52,719 --> 00:50:54,680
Speaker 1: him a while to kind of figure out where he

1028
00:50:54,680 --> 00:50:58,960
Speaker 1: should go, you know, kind of his instinct. He needs

1029
00:50:58,960 --> 00:51:02,520
Speaker 1: to work in his things. But this weekend against the Giants.

1030
00:51:03,000 --> 00:51:05,640
Speaker 1: I really noticed and liked everything that I saw from

1031
00:51:05,680 --> 00:51:08,720
Speaker 1: him that he was more in sync with Sean Lee.

1032
00:51:08,800 --> 00:51:10,960
Speaker 1: If you watch practice, you see Sean and you can't

1033
00:51:11,000 --> 00:51:13,960
Speaker 1: really compare the two because Sean Lee obviously veteran guy.

1034
00:51:14,239 --> 00:51:16,600
Speaker 1: But when you watch Sean Lee, he just takes off.

1035
00:51:16,640 --> 00:51:19,719
Speaker 1: He knows where to go. Now. Jalen Smith, it takes

1036
00:51:19,800 --> 00:51:22,160
Speaker 1: him a while, but you you're starting to see him

1037
00:51:22,160 --> 00:51:25,080
Speaker 1: now be more in sync with him. I agree with you, though.

1038
00:51:25,320 --> 00:51:27,839
Speaker 1: I think he's got the instincts. He just needs to

1039
00:51:27,840 --> 00:51:30,480
Speaker 1: trust him because I watched the tape back with Brian

1040
00:51:31,000 --> 00:51:33,560
Speaker 1: and you'll see these snaps where like he moves toward

1041
00:51:33,600 --> 00:51:35,719
Speaker 1: the hole or he moves towards the ball carrier, and

1042
00:51:35,760 --> 00:51:38,120
Speaker 1: he just kind of stutters and hesitates like he's not

1043
00:51:38,160 --> 00:51:40,799
Speaker 1: sure that's what he's supposed to be doing. Confidence. Yeah, yeah,

1044
00:51:41,000 --> 00:51:43,960
Speaker 1: just have confidence that you're right in what you see,

1045
00:51:44,000 --> 00:51:46,239
Speaker 1: and I think it'll look even better than it already does.

1046
00:51:46,440 --> 00:51:49,280
Speaker 1: My answer to that question will be Daz, this reminds

1047
00:51:49,280 --> 00:51:52,160
Speaker 1: me of the Week one game from last year where

1048
00:51:52,200 --> 00:51:54,839
Speaker 1: he didn't get he got a lot of opportunities, didn't

1049
00:51:54,840 --> 00:51:57,279
Speaker 1: make a lot of catches, and then we kind of

1050
00:51:57,280 --> 00:52:00,440
Speaker 1: see how he bounced back the next week. He'll have

1051
00:52:00,480 --> 00:52:03,520
Speaker 1: another good matchup this week when in Denver were two

1052
00:52:03,640 --> 00:52:07,600
Speaker 1: good corners with Chris Harris right and to Leeb keep

1053
00:52:07,680 --> 00:52:09,880
Speaker 1: Telly and then I mean not that des is a

1054
00:52:09,880 --> 00:52:12,279
Speaker 1: big slack eye, but throw in and Robi's still there.

1055
00:52:12,320 --> 00:52:15,080
Speaker 1: I think, I mean, their secondary's no joke. So they

1056
00:52:15,239 --> 00:52:20,239
Speaker 1: they definitely have a great defense and it's hard to

1057
00:52:20,239 --> 00:52:22,280
Speaker 1: play up there, like we talked about with the noise.

1058
00:52:22,360 --> 00:52:24,920
Speaker 1: But you know, I think Dez will be trying to to,

1059
00:52:25,440 --> 00:52:27,719
Speaker 1: you know, make sure he has a good game. He

1060
00:52:27,760 --> 00:52:30,480
Speaker 1: doesn't want two catches, you know. I mean, he he'll

1061
00:52:30,800 --> 00:52:33,480
Speaker 1: but they have to figure out ways to get him

1062
00:52:33,520 --> 00:52:37,120
Speaker 1: involved without forcing it. That's my issue is don't force

1063
00:52:37,680 --> 00:52:39,680
Speaker 1: the ball to him if it's not there, but but

1064
00:52:39,960 --> 00:52:42,399
Speaker 1: figure out some high percentage throws to get it to him.

1065
00:52:43,520 --> 00:52:47,480
Speaker 1: Any more questions, Yes, do you guys expect Dak's performance

1066
00:52:47,520 --> 00:52:52,600
Speaker 1: to be batter this game? Not necessarily. You're at home

1067
00:52:52,640 --> 00:52:55,480
Speaker 1: against the Giants, the team a team that you're familiar with.

1068
00:52:55,800 --> 00:52:57,360
Speaker 1: Now you're going up against a team that you're not

1069
00:52:57,400 --> 00:52:59,680
Speaker 1: as familiar with and one of the toughest places to

1070
00:52:59,719 --> 00:53:05,160
Speaker 1: play against. The probably a better defense it's hard. It's

1071
00:53:05,200 --> 00:53:07,799
Speaker 1: hard to say that it'll be better I first of all,

1072
00:53:08,120 --> 00:53:10,360
Speaker 1: and at whatever, if I sound like a homer, I

1073
00:53:10,360 --> 00:53:12,520
Speaker 1: don't care. He was. I thought he was fine on

1074
00:53:13,080 --> 00:53:15,640
Speaker 1: Sunday night. He missed Dez on a slant that could

1075
00:53:15,640 --> 00:53:18,839
Speaker 1: have been a touchdown. Everything else I thought looked pretty

1076
00:53:18,920 --> 00:53:22,839
Speaker 1: damn good considering the opponent in question. So to go

1077
00:53:22,880 --> 00:53:24,440
Speaker 1: on the For me to say he's going to go

1078
00:53:24,480 --> 00:53:27,120
Speaker 1: on the road and play an equally talented, if not

1079
00:53:27,200 --> 00:53:31,359
Speaker 1: better defense and do substantially better, I don't know if

1080
00:53:31,360 --> 00:53:34,399
Speaker 1: that's realistic. And I mean that's for any core. I mean,

1081
00:53:35,160 --> 00:53:37,279
Speaker 1: Drew Brees is probably going to the Hall of Fame,

1082
00:53:37,280 --> 00:53:40,799
Speaker 1: and the Vikings made him look worse than dacted last

1083
00:53:40,840 --> 00:53:43,160
Speaker 1: I mean, he looked he didn't have anywhere to put

1084
00:53:43,160 --> 00:53:46,480
Speaker 1: the ball last night. So these I mean, there are

1085
00:53:46,560 --> 00:53:48,640
Speaker 1: a few defenses in the league who can take away

1086
00:53:48,760 --> 00:53:51,760
Speaker 1: dynamic quarterback play, and I kind of think the Broncos

1087
00:53:51,760 --> 00:53:54,200
Speaker 1: are one of them. So I think he can play

1088
00:53:54,440 --> 00:53:57,000
Speaker 1: as well, or maybe he can play better, but I don't.

1089
00:53:57,160 --> 00:53:58,799
Speaker 1: I don't think he needs to play a lot better,

1090
00:53:58,840 --> 00:54:00,839
Speaker 1: I guess is the point I'm trying to make. Let's

1091
00:54:00,840 --> 00:54:03,759
Speaker 1: make sure can't we don't have any caller on the line. Right,

1092
00:54:03,920 --> 00:54:05,920
Speaker 1: lines are open. Lines are open. Okay, We've got just

1093
00:54:05,960 --> 00:54:07,640
Speaker 1: a few more minutes, so you can call it quickly.

1094
00:54:07,680 --> 00:54:10,359
Speaker 1: Did you have another questions? Are the last one right here?

1095
00:54:10,880 --> 00:54:14,399
Speaker 1: Do you guys think that in case Orlando Scandrick isn't

1096
00:54:14,400 --> 00:54:19,759
Speaker 1: able to play, would that affect the Cowboys? Yeah? Yeah,

1097
00:54:19,760 --> 00:54:21,799
Speaker 1: you're gonna have a rookie that has to play a

1098
00:54:21,800 --> 00:54:25,600
Speaker 1: lot more. Maybe two in Cheeto and h and Jordan

1099
00:54:25,719 --> 00:54:29,399
Speaker 1: Lewis who's never done anything in a game for preseason either.

1100
00:54:29,480 --> 00:54:32,520
Speaker 1: So uh. But the good thing about Jordan Lewis is

1101
00:54:32,560 --> 00:54:37,560
Speaker 1: that before he got hurt and had some the court

1102
00:54:37,680 --> 00:54:40,160
Speaker 1: trial and all that. But before that he was playing

1103
00:54:40,200 --> 00:54:44,759
Speaker 1: pretty well in the offseason OTAs in mini camp. Could

1104
00:54:44,760 --> 00:54:48,560
Speaker 1: you could really see his coverage skills there? So um,

1105
00:54:48,600 --> 00:54:50,160
Speaker 1: I think he'll be fine and he gets up to

1106
00:54:50,200 --> 00:54:52,080
Speaker 1: speed a little bit. I think he'll be fine in

1107
00:54:52,120 --> 00:54:56,359
Speaker 1: the long run. But it sounds so daunting to be like, hey, Jordan,

1108
00:54:56,440 --> 00:54:59,200
Speaker 1: welcome to the NFL. This is Emmanuel Sanders. You have

1109
00:54:59,239 --> 00:55:01,160
Speaker 1: to write you're going to be against him for the

1110
00:55:01,160 --> 00:55:04,239
Speaker 1: rest of today. Good luck. Yeah, another interesting note there,

1111
00:55:04,280 --> 00:55:07,200
Speaker 1: I guess I'm talking about my trip to the Pro Bowl.

1112
00:55:07,239 --> 00:55:09,400
Speaker 1: But I did got I got to talk to Emmanuel

1113
00:55:09,400 --> 00:55:12,439
Speaker 1: Sanders at the Pro Bowl as well, two guys from

1114
00:55:12,480 --> 00:55:15,400
Speaker 1: SMU that were teammates on the team that was winning

1115
00:55:15,440 --> 00:55:18,280
Speaker 1: seven or eight games, you know, and they were throwing

1116
00:55:18,360 --> 00:55:20,800
Speaker 1: the ball around with June Jones and that that offense

1117
00:55:21,200 --> 00:55:24,160
Speaker 1: to think that they're both in the league. Cole Beasley

1118
00:55:24,320 --> 00:55:27,359
Speaker 1: and Emmanuel Sanders two guys that played on SMU now

1119
00:55:27,400 --> 00:55:30,640
Speaker 1: playing you know, prominent roles on their team, and that's

1120
00:55:30,680 --> 00:55:34,000
Speaker 1: kind of an interesting dynamic as they get there. But

1121
00:55:34,040 --> 00:55:37,600
Speaker 1: he talked about how Cole was just just the most

1122
00:55:38,400 --> 00:55:41,600
Speaker 1: you know, he would run routes all day long, like

1123
00:55:41,840 --> 00:55:43,640
Speaker 1: that's all he would do. He just never seemed to

1124
00:55:43,680 --> 00:55:46,440
Speaker 1: get tired. And so Emmanuel Sanders had a pretty good

1125
00:55:46,440 --> 00:55:49,000
Speaker 1: has had a pretty good career as well. Pretty fun

1126
00:55:49,960 --> 00:55:53,200
Speaker 1: not stat but Cole. It was just if a moment

1127
00:55:53,239 --> 00:55:57,080
Speaker 1: where last week before the telethon for the preseason finale

1128
00:55:57,239 --> 00:56:01,040
Speaker 1: or two weeks ago, Cole told or he's like, my

1129
00:56:01,160 --> 00:56:03,319
Speaker 1: goal every un He's like, I don't set yardage goals

1130
00:56:03,400 --> 00:56:06,799
Speaker 1: or catch goals or whatever, but my goal going into

1131
00:56:06,840 --> 00:56:09,520
Speaker 1: every season is to catch every single ball that gets

1132
00:56:09,520 --> 00:56:13,439
Speaker 1: thrown in my direction, no excuses whatever. So the fact

1133
00:56:13,480 --> 00:56:15,880
Speaker 1: that in the first game he caught that ball that

1134
00:56:15,920 --> 00:56:18,759
Speaker 1: he penned to his shoulder play was pretty funny. Real

1135
00:56:18,800 --> 00:56:26,360
Speaker 1: quickly before we in this, let's go to Andy in Oxnardnard. Andy,

1136
00:56:26,440 --> 00:56:28,400
Speaker 1: Are you there? Andy? You with us? Yeah? Yeah, I

1137
00:56:28,400 --> 00:56:31,960
Speaker 1: can hear you guys. Hey, hey there, I'm big fan

1138
00:56:32,000 --> 00:56:35,160
Speaker 1: of the show, offered Dave some Papa John's when you

1139
00:56:35,160 --> 00:56:37,759
Speaker 1: guys are out here in Oxnard. Yeah, I didn't know

1140
00:56:37,760 --> 00:56:40,240
Speaker 1: how to get it to you guys. Um, but real quick,

1141
00:56:40,600 --> 00:56:47,920
Speaker 1: my question, darn well, my simple question is just who

1142
00:56:49,040 --> 00:56:52,320
Speaker 1: showed out this weekend that you guys weren't exactly expecting

1143
00:56:52,400 --> 00:56:57,799
Speaker 1: to Um, I mean cop out. Sorry, we already talked

1144
00:56:57,800 --> 00:57:02,040
Speaker 1: about him, but fifty four Jalen Smith, damn thirty six

1145
00:57:02,080 --> 00:57:05,640
Speaker 1: snaps Chaz Green. I mean I thought, you know, because

1146
00:57:05,640 --> 00:57:07,680
Speaker 1: he didn't really he didn't heard his name at all,

1147
00:57:07,719 --> 00:57:09,840
Speaker 1: which is a good thing with when when you're talking

1148
00:57:09,840 --> 00:57:15,960
Speaker 1: about the offensive linepper. Yeah, good one. I mean, Charles.

1149
00:57:16,000 --> 00:57:19,680
Speaker 1: I apologize for anything even slightly negative I might have said,

1150
00:57:19,720 --> 00:57:24,360
Speaker 1: because he looked pretty good. Yeah, we dogged. We dogged

1151
00:57:24,360 --> 00:57:27,000
Speaker 1: Byron and Jeff Heath for there. I mean the second

1152
00:57:27,000 --> 00:57:29,800
Speaker 1: and third preseason game. I thought, or most people are,

1153
00:57:29,880 --> 00:57:32,080
Speaker 1: the third and fourth. I'm sorry, most people would agree.

1154
00:57:32,080 --> 00:57:34,120
Speaker 1: They probably could have looked a little better. I don't

1155
00:57:34,160 --> 00:57:36,520
Speaker 1: know if they looked like world beaters, but the Giants

1156
00:57:36,520 --> 00:57:39,320
Speaker 1: through for one hundred and sixty yards, so yeah, I'll

1157
00:57:39,320 --> 00:57:42,560
Speaker 1: give them that. All right, Well, that will wrap up

1158
00:57:42,560 --> 00:57:44,600
Speaker 1: the show. I thought Derek said he was gonna come

1159
00:57:44,640 --> 00:57:46,280
Speaker 1: in a little bit late. I guess he just he

1160
00:57:46,440 --> 00:57:49,120
Speaker 1: decided he's a quitter. All right, Well we'll get used

1161
00:57:49,160 --> 00:57:51,000
Speaker 1: to that. I think he's gonna be out tomorrow as well.

1162
00:57:51,000 --> 00:57:54,280
Speaker 1: All right, thanks Skin for those drops, and Amber Dave,

1163
00:57:54,680 --> 00:57:57,640
