Speaker 3: Dallas Cowboys World Headquarters at the Star.
Speaker 4: Welcome into another Thursday edition of Girls Talk Boys Talk,
Speaker 4: presented by Jigsaw, the preferred dating partner of the Dallas Cowboys.
Speaker 4: Hailey Sutton, Aiashan Morrison, Jess Navarrez with you on this
Speaker 4: lovely Thursday. We got OTA's coming up later this afternoon.
Speaker 4: But before we get to today, let's talk about what
Speaker 4: happened last week, because that was our first media availability
Speaker 4: to hang out with the guys, get to chat with them,
Speaker 4: see kind of what they've been up to this offseason,
Speaker 4: and really see a glimpse of what this team could
Speaker 4: start to look like as we get closer and closer
Speaker 4: to training camp and then preseason and then the kick
Speaker 4: off of the twenty twenty three season.
Speaker 5: Now, I was not here last week.
Speaker 4: Obviously, you ladies held it down for us, So I
Speaker 4: kind of want to default to you just to kind
Speaker 4: of start things off. What did you see last week
Speaker 4: in OTAs in that media availability that you.
Speaker 5: Were impressed with.
Speaker 4: Let's talk practice first and then we'll kind of get
Speaker 4: into what the players had to say. But just from
Speaker 4: a practice standpoint, what did we see? And again, I
Speaker 4: want to back up really quick here because OTAs are
Speaker 4: so tricky because it's really kind of a tease right there,
Speaker 4: and especially with this organization because they've had some issues
Speaker 4: sticking to the NFL guidelines with the new CBA and
Speaker 4: all of that. So I know the focus this year
Speaker 4: is to really make sure they're not going over their
Speaker 4: practice time or doing anything that's going to get them
Speaker 4: any penalties later in the summer. So that being said,
Speaker 4: what did you see at practice? How you shall go
Speaker 4: to you first that maybe stood out to you.
Speaker 6: So I think the biggest thing that stood out to
Speaker 6: me looking at the offense and just kind of looking
Speaker 6: at now granted they're running drills and they're they're doing
Speaker 6: seven on seven, but the tempo.
Speaker 7: Of things seems right, just it seems sped up.
Speaker 6: It seems like they really want to focus on focus
Speaker 6: on efficiency, but they want to be able to play fast.
Speaker 6: And then when you also look at the addition of
Speaker 6: douce Van Tony Pollard actually got some reps, which was
Speaker 6: crazy to even see with his uh with his recovery.
Speaker 6: But then you start and then Cavante Turpin got some
Speaker 6: wide receiver you know, reps as well. The uptick and
Speaker 6: speed on the offensive side of the ball really looks real,
Speaker 6: not only the tempo and the cadence and everything, but
Speaker 6: just the additions that you have made seem like you
Speaker 6: want to be able to play fast, and to them
Speaker 6: it sounds like fast means can also counteract with efficiency.
Speaker 6: And that's that was what stood out to me the
Speaker 6: most last week.
Speaker 8: Oh that's a perfect way to put it.
Speaker 9: Oh my goodness, yes, and hitting the nail right on
Speaker 9: the head, because it was like their communication took a
Speaker 9: took a step up, and they took a notch up
Speaker 9: with really emphasizing the communication and you can see it.
Speaker 9: You can tell that everybody is on the same page together.
Speaker 8: You know, they are really taking.
Speaker 9: What is it taking call to what it means to
Speaker 9: be an efficient offense with the communication factor.
Speaker 8: What stood out for me was.
Speaker 9: You know, obviously we went in there looking at our
Speaker 9: own individual players and wanting to see individual things. I
Speaker 9: was really focused on the wide receiver group because I
Speaker 9: wanted to see how they meshed together. And let me
Speaker 9: just say, Brandon Cook's speed, that is real thing. I
Speaker 9: thought lightning flashed in the Ford Center when we were
Speaker 9: watching them. But what I liked is how he would
Speaker 9: individually work with these guys. So I saw him from
Speaker 9: the time we were in there, and we were in
Speaker 9: there for what an hour. I saw him talking to
Speaker 9: Cavante on the side. I saw him talking to MG
Speaker 9: on the side.
Speaker 8: I saw him talking to Ceede Lamb on the side.
Speaker 9: So what I really liked about it is that when
Speaker 9: we're talking about Brandon Cooks, it's one thing that we're
Speaker 9: hearing it, and we're hearing it from the guy saying,
Speaker 9: yeah that our in lead and we know he brings that.
Speaker 9: But to see it and within that hour, and that's
Speaker 9: not even a long time in retrospect, just seeing him
Speaker 9: personally work with those guys and showing them our emotions
Speaker 9: and just moving their body physically to show them things,
Speaker 9: it was really awesome to see. So I was honed
Speaker 9: in on that I usually talk about Cavante getting wide
Speaker 9: receiver reps, we saw that he was also the only
Speaker 9: guy taking returner reps. So that's something to know, another
Speaker 9: reminder that yes, everything is still speculation and we're still
Speaker 9: keep an eye on that.
Speaker 8: Deuce was fast.
Speaker 9: From what I saw I got to see Deuce, there
Speaker 9: was two separate wings playing, so you had these guys
Speaker 9: playing over here. So we kept like getting whiplash going
Speaker 9: back and forth watching it just looked good. It looked good,
Speaker 9: It looked where it needed to be from where they
Speaker 9: left off last season.
Speaker 4: I have loved because I went back and listened to
Speaker 4: a few of the guys. We've had like the absolute
Speaker 4: craziest week with media days and everything else under the sun.
Speaker 4: But I went back and listened to a couple of
Speaker 4: the guys and one of them that I listened to
Speaker 4: was Brandon Coe Looks and you know, we've heard him
Speaker 4: talk about how important it is for him to be
Speaker 4: a leader to this group, and it's interesting to me
Speaker 4: when you see still the conversation surrounding him and even
Speaker 4: Stefan Gilmour and how they're washed and how they're not
Speaker 4: going to be as impactful as we're thinking. And obviously
Speaker 4: that comes from fans or it comes from you know,
Speaker 4: opposite fan base supporters, and so there's there's a lot
Speaker 4: of talk, but it's really refreshing to know that, you know,
Speaker 4: the locker room still remains what it was from last season,
Speaker 4: where they are still relying on that trust from you know,
Speaker 4: the guys within the group and they're not listening to
Speaker 4: a lot of the outside noise.
Speaker 5: And something else that really stood out to me as well.
Speaker 4: We talk about how, you know, the word for the
Speaker 4: last season has been resilience, and that's been their word,
Speaker 4: and that's kind of what they're focused on.
Speaker 5: The word that I kept.
Speaker 4: Hearing thrown around in between Mike McCarthy and Dak Prescott
Speaker 4: was purpose, and Dak kept saying that purpose is what
Speaker 4: he's focused on right now. And I loved how he
Speaker 4: broke that down because, you know, purpose at face value
Speaker 4: is a pretty it's a pretty easy word to understand,
Speaker 4: right it's your goal, it's what you want to do,
Speaker 4: it's it's why you're doing it.
Speaker 5: But he took it a step further.
Speaker 4: It was not just you know, the purpose of his passes,
Speaker 4: but the purpose of conversations he's having with his head
Speaker 4: coach in terms of getting better and getting used to
Speaker 4: having a play caller.
Speaker 5: It's purpose.
Speaker 4: When he's speaking to some of those younger guys and
Speaker 4: trying to make sure that they can all get on
Speaker 4: the same page so that those interceptions don't happen again.
Speaker 4: So it's sounding like to me that purpose is what's
Speaker 4: going to drive them this year. I'm interested to talk
Speaker 4: to the guys today just to see if that word
Speaker 4: continues to pop up and resonate. But again, with OTAs,
Speaker 4: it's so challenging because you know, we can only see
Speaker 4: what we can see, and we can only speculate what
Speaker 4: we can speculate. But it feels pretty refreshing, it feels
Speaker 4: pretty interesting. I was kind of reading along as well
Speaker 4: on our website. Patrick had some really good nuggets as
Speaker 4: far as some stuff that he talked about. He mentioned
Speaker 4: Cavante Turpin, He mentioned Michael Galla feeling much more like himself.
Speaker 4: I saw Michael yesterday at Media Days and got to
Speaker 4: chat with him. He says he's feeling good, he's feeling excited,
Speaker 4: so that'll be good for him as well. And then
Speaker 4: something else that I thought was kind of cool to
Speaker 4: look forward to. He talked about Mozzie Smith, and he
Speaker 4: talked about how Mozzie was already working his way into
Speaker 4: that defensive line and not only working his way in,
Speaker 4: but he's being.
Speaker 5: Double teamed, so yeah, he was in practice.
Speaker 4: You can already tell the kind of threat that he's
Speaker 4: going to be as well. I mean, if this offensive
Speaker 4: line feels like they have to double team against him,
Speaker 4: I can imagine what the Giants will have to worry
Speaker 4: about in week one. So a lot of fun stuff there.
Speaker 4: Anything else that stood out to you, guys?
Speaker 6: I wanted to add on to what you said about
Speaker 6: purpose because I'm I'm so glad you brought it up
Speaker 6: because he slipped my mind because it stood out to
Speaker 6: both of us, we kept hearing it. I think that
Speaker 6: that's also important. It's so funny because when you're a kid,
Speaker 6: your parents tell you like you're not supposed to ask why,
Speaker 6: Like they tell you to do something.
Speaker 7: You're supposed to just do it.
Speaker 6: But if you're really trying to come together as a team,
Speaker 6: make guys better the understanding of why are we running
Speaker 6: this play right now to counter what the defense is doing?
Speaker 7: Why is this why is this the game plan?
Speaker 6: Why are we throwing out these packages instead of these
Speaker 6: packages We might see guys offensively in a one game
Speaker 6: that we might not see in the next game. And
Speaker 6: on the defense as well, I think that that's very
Speaker 6: healthy communication for a team to build, you know, to
Speaker 6: build confidence.
Speaker 7: And that's another thing too. They're confident.
Speaker 6: You can feel the confidence, and I think that's because
Speaker 6: they know why they're doing what they're doing, what the
Speaker 6: reasons why they're running certain plays and these installations and stuff.
Speaker 6: So I'm so glad you brought that up. I wanted
Speaker 6: to just add that I feel like that's important for
Speaker 6: this team's growth as well.
Speaker 8: Yeah, and the word purpose.
Speaker 9: It's funny because Ayusha and I were sitting next to
Speaker 9: each other in the press conference with Mike McCarthy and
Speaker 9: he said play call purpose. He talked about PCP and
Speaker 9: we kind of smacked each other and move, yes, that
Speaker 9: is it. Because he was asked, have you how much
Speaker 9: time extra time have you spent with Dak while you're
Speaker 9: kind of restructuring the offense as it stands right now
Speaker 9: with the play calling in the playbook, and he said,
Speaker 9: there's never enough time spent, but you know, no worries
Speaker 9: football football talk is part of it. It's more of
Speaker 9: a collaborative play calling. And so then he went into
Speaker 9: talking about PCP play call purpose, and Dak even mentioned
Speaker 9: that too when he was talking so again, knowing why
Speaker 9: they're doing it and being on the same page about it,
Speaker 9: and I think just being more collective about it, being
Speaker 9: able to say, hey, this didn't work for me because
Speaker 9: of XYZ and Mike McCarthy actually, you know, taking that
Speaker 9: for what it is and saying, Okay, well then let's
Speaker 9: try this. I think it's just more collaboration more than anything,
Speaker 9: is what you're seeing. So PCP, that was something that
Speaker 9: we learned last week. Something else I wanted to mention
Speaker 9: too about everything that we saw was the Kicker situation,
Speaker 9: because that's a big storyline. Patrick and I were sitting
Speaker 9: next to each other when we were watching Tristan kick.
Speaker 9: He made six of his eight attempts and the two
Speaker 9: that he missed were I want to say, closer to
Speaker 9: the thirty and then it was closer to the forty five.
Speaker 8: I want to say, not for sure. But again we were.
Speaker 9: Kind of talking looking back and forth on both sides
Speaker 9: of the field here when this was happening. But overall,
Speaker 9: I mean, I got to chat with him at Media Days,
Speaker 9: just briefly, and I said, how do you feel?
Speaker 8: And he said, I feel good. Good.
Speaker 9: You need to so the Kicker situation is good. You
Speaker 9: mentioned MG talked to him at media days yesterday as well,
Speaker 9: and he looked like he had a pep in his step.
Speaker 8: I mean he just looked he looked like yes, I.
Speaker 9: Got no, yes, yeah, So it was it was cool.
Speaker 9: It was really great getting to catch up with the
Speaker 9: guys for the first time since i mean last season,
Speaker 9: and the last time we got to talk to them
Speaker 9: was obviously not of good spirits because of how the
Speaker 9: season had ended. But to see them refreshed, ready to go,
Speaker 9: recharged and in a new spirit is really good to see.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and for for reference as well when we talk
Speaker 4: about media days, the Cowboys held an internal media day yesterday,
Speaker 4: so just to get all of the video yesterday and Tuesday,
Speaker 4: but just to get all the videos of like the
Speaker 4: you know, the video board stuff that you see at
Speaker 4: at and T Stadium. Are incredible graphic designers, and Obia
Speaker 4: did a photo shoot so she could get all of
Speaker 4: her pictures for all of the cool graphics and stuff
Speaker 4: that you guys see on social media. She's also designed
Speaker 4: the poll banners and the video board outside of the
Speaker 4: Ford Center as well, so I know, she's like my
Speaker 4: favorite person ever, so a lot of good stuff as well.
Speaker 4: They did some stuff with social media, so a lot
Speaker 4: of cool stuff coming out with those guys. And so
Speaker 4: when we talk about media days, that's what we're referring to.
Speaker 4: Before I get back to that, I did want to
Speaker 4: mention you talked about the kicking situation with Christan Viiscano.
Speaker 5: Viscano Viscano.
Speaker 4: Have we decided how to say his last week's Vscanosco Okay,
Speaker 4: I promise I will never mess that up again.
Speaker 7: I'll let y'all do it.
Speaker 10: Scan.
Speaker 4: It's interesting when you when you talk about the kicker position,
Speaker 4: because two weeks ago Bones Fossil said, you know, anyone
Speaker 4: who has a kicking leg is available.
Speaker 7: To you immediately.
Speaker 5: I know, I know he's available. I've thought about it.
Speaker 4: I I do plan on having a conversation with Bones
Speaker 4: about getting me a tryout.
Speaker 5: I think I'm qualified enough.
Speaker 4: I got to get through this kickball season that we're
Speaker 4: having here with the Doboys first, before I can see
Speaker 4: if you're any of.
Speaker 9: Us headitive mode, you might as well just keep it
Speaker 9: on and keep going.
Speaker 8: Go talk to Bone. See what he says.
Speaker 5: Oh goodness.
Speaker 4: But in terms of Tristan Bisquano, Uh, there's not really
Speaker 4: any competition for him right now, you know, so you
Speaker 4: take what he's doing with the grain of salt. But
Speaker 4: I did just want to mention I googled free agent
Speaker 4: kickers just to see who's available on the market right now. Obviously,
Speaker 4: Robbie Gould is available out of the forty nine ers,
Speaker 4: right and suck up from the Buccaneers. Brett Maher is
Speaker 4: still available, Matt Prater from the Cardinals. He also spent
Speaker 4: time with the Lions. H Ky for Bath is also
Speaker 4: available from the Commanders. And then, uh, when I opened
Speaker 4: this up, I was surprised because I saw Dan Bailey's
Speaker 4: name on this list. I didn't realize that his contract
Speaker 4: call him up had already right now is coming up.
Speaker 7: So uh listen, Kai Kyle was that guy when he
Speaker 7: was there.
Speaker 8: Yeah, I thought was that long, but he was that guy.
Speaker 8: Dan Bailey was money though.
Speaker 9: Remember those were the glory days when you can sit
Speaker 9: back and you're like Dan.
Speaker 5: Bailey's in, We're great.
Speaker 9: Yeah, you were like, I can I can go take
Speaker 9: my potty break. I know it's going to be a
Speaker 9: solid when I come back out, And.
Speaker 8: Uh, yeah, that's interesting.
Speaker 4: Yeah, A lot of a lot of guys on that list,
Speaker 4: so that'll be something to keep an eye out for.
Speaker 4: And something else that I found intriguing from Mike's press
Speaker 4: conference and even previously when we got to talk to
Speaker 4: the coordinators was their interest.
Speaker 5: In the XFL and the USFL.
Speaker 4: That is something that really has become not just like
Speaker 4: a blip or a back seat option, but it's cool
Speaker 4: to see how that is becoming such a viable place
Speaker 4: to find players, and they've been speaking about it in
Speaker 4: terms of finding a kicker from there.
Speaker 5: So yep, now we're going to.
Speaker 4: Have to start doing some research on the XFL and
Speaker 4: the USFL guys too, So a lot of fun opportunities
Speaker 4: for these guys here in OTAs now. They will obviously
Speaker 4: continue practicing today. We'll get to talk to them later.
Speaker 4: But something I want to talk about when we get
Speaker 4: back on this other side of the break is the
Speaker 4: offensive line, because I have a feeling there's still going
Speaker 4: to be some shuffling. It's not really solidified. So let's
Speaker 4: go ahead and take our first break.
Speaker 5: When we come back.
Speaker 4: We are going to talk offensive line on the Dallas
Speaker 4: Cowboys here on Girls Talk Boys Stop.
Speaker 11: At Jigsaw Dating. We obviously want the Cowboys to bring
Speaker 11: that sixth ring home. But to be honest, we're more
Speaker 11: focused on finding the person who will put a ring
Speaker 11: on your finger. That's why we created a dating app
Speaker 11: that reveals your face through meaningful conversation so you can

Speaker 4: I know, I think I'm gonna try to go to
Speaker 4: that because the first day, the first original date, I
Speaker 4: can't even remember when it was at this point when
Speaker 4: I wasn't ay we go back.
Speaker 9: Yeah, the weather and all of that. But yeah, let's
Speaker 9: tacos tunes.
Speaker 8: Yeah, I'm excited.
Speaker 10: I love that.
Speaker 5: We'll go celebrate.
Speaker 4: This was on earlier as well. On I always reference
Speaker 4: our TV. I wish you guys could see.
Speaker 5: Whenever I just porn crazy.
Speaker 4: They're counting down the top I think the best teams
Speaker 4: in NFL history. The Cowboys have been on here twice
Speaker 4: since I've been here since about ninety forty. So we're
Speaker 4: watching EMITTT Smith run into the end zone.
Speaker 5: We love it.
Speaker 4: We love when America's team is recognized for the things
Speaker 4: and the accomplishments that they have done in the storied franchise.
Speaker 4: So shout out to our Dallas Cowboys. And speaking of
Speaker 4: the Dallas Cowboys, let's talk a little bit about the
Speaker 4: offensive line. It's kind of been a little bit of
Speaker 4: a question mark ever since the team lost Terrence Steele
Speaker 4: last season against the Texans, he tore his ACL and
Speaker 4: his MCL. But a super positive recovery process for him.
Speaker 4: You know, he's been working alls off season. We've seen
Speaker 4: him out on the field and then obviously getting to
Speaker 4: speak to him yesterday at Media Days. He's locked in,
Speaker 4: he's loaded, he feels good, he feels like he's making
Speaker 4: good progress. So that's exciting, But it also means that
Speaker 4: for at least the temporary that means Tyrone Smith is
Speaker 4: still working at right tackle as they continue to shuffle
Speaker 4: the line around. Now, it'll be interesting what the starting
Speaker 4: offensive line will actually look like because they lost some
Speaker 4: key pieces. Connor McGovern and is no longer a part
Speaker 4: of this team, so that'll be a gap to fill.
Speaker 4: You do get Tyler Beattish, and you do you know
Speaker 4: you have Tyler Smith as well.
Speaker 5: But I'm just curious to see.
Speaker 4: How they're going to utilize who where, because what I
Speaker 4: don't want to see is another situation where like, yes,
Speaker 4: we have the versatility for guys to play, you know,
Speaker 4: wherever they're and they're you know, willing to do that.
Speaker 4: But I want a strong offensive line. I want to
Speaker 4: give Dak a chance this year. I want to give
Speaker 4: our running backs an opportunity to get through and find
Speaker 4: some holes. I want to give our tight ends an
Speaker 4: opportunity to get involved in the offense and not be
Speaker 4: so laser focused on blocking all the time. So I
Speaker 4: really want to see some continuity from this offensive line.
Speaker 4: And so my question to you, ladies is where do
Speaker 4: you see that continuity being? Where do you still see
Speaker 4: holes where this offensive line should be focusing on during
Speaker 4: this offseason otiers, And I know it's a loaded question,
Speaker 4: That's why I'm asking.
Speaker 8: You, guys.
Speaker 6: Okay, I wrote down lower who go play left in
Speaker 6: my notes because listen, I I really feel like with
Speaker 6: Terrence Steele listening to him talking to him, not sure
Speaker 6: you can't guarantee when he's gonna be ready, but if
Speaker 6: he is not ready, I think that Tylan Tyrant is
Speaker 6: going to take on right tackle. Michael Gelk, he mentioned
Speaker 6: it in an article this week, is that he really
Speaker 6: does feel as though that.
Speaker 7: Would be the move.
Speaker 6: So then your question is like, so, who if Tyler
Speaker 6: is your left tackle, because he's been taking at practice,
Speaker 6: he took reps there, who's your left guard? And so
Speaker 6: really for me is looking at the battle at left
Speaker 6: guard right now, and the coaches seem like they have
Speaker 6: faith in Chimui dooga. However, that is a competition, and
Speaker 6: Matt farnioc took quite a few snacks at center.
Speaker 7: But he also took reps at left guard.
Speaker 6: And haven't gotten to see a whole bunch of Matt Farnac,
Speaker 6: but the film that I was able to watch from
Speaker 6: him against Philly a couple of years ago, and just
Speaker 6: what he's able to do. He does play with some power,
Speaker 6: and I just I feel like this offensive line is
Speaker 6: going to be as of right now, there's so many
Speaker 6: question marks, but it's very contingent on where Terrence is
Speaker 6: in his recovery and stuff, and I think a lot
Speaker 6: of what they're doing right now is kind of preventive
Speaker 6: things and trying to figure out what's going to work
Speaker 6: if he is not ready to go week one.
Speaker 9: Yeah, and something to mention too was that Zach Martin
Speaker 9: didn't participate in OTA, So what we saw was a
Speaker 9: very different O line without Zach Martin.
Speaker 8: So it was it was so weird.
Speaker 4: It was We'd never want to see this team without
Speaker 4: that man and at his rightful position. It was.
Speaker 8: It was very weird seeing it.
Speaker 9: But so what we saw most I think during OTA's
Speaker 9: among the shuffle was you saw Tyler Smith at left tackle,
Speaker 9: left guard, you had Matt Farniyac center, at Tyler Biattish
Speaker 9: right guard.
Speaker 8: You had Josh Ball who was.
Speaker 9: Getting good reps at right guard, and then you had
Speaker 9: Tyrone Smith at right tackle. So again, this is without
Speaker 9: Zach Martin. So this is not your set in stone.
Speaker 9: This is the first media day we got to go
Speaker 9: see OTA's right, So take what we say with a
Speaker 9: grain of salt because it's not set in stone. But yeah,
Speaker 9: that was stressful watching and it was interesting because I
Speaker 9: did talk to Tyler Biattish a lot. I talked to
Speaker 9: him in the locker room after OTAs, and then I
Speaker 9: spent media day with him where we had a bit
Speaker 9: of a weight so I probably was with him for
Speaker 9: an hour, if not a little bit longer than that.
Speaker 9: So we had nothing but time to talk about things.
Speaker 9: And so I asked him, I said, does this make
Speaker 9: you nervous, the fact that you know nothing is really
Speaker 9: set in stone, you don't have your staple guys in
Speaker 9: every set position of this O line. And he said no,
Speaker 9: because what we do get is we get this shuffle
Speaker 9: and I'm able to learn how to communicate and have
Speaker 9: that cadence with every single person, no matter who it is,
Speaker 9: because it really starts from him and then it works
Speaker 9: its way out for the.
Speaker 8: Communication factor of it.
Speaker 9: So he said, I'm not worried about the communication, and
Speaker 9: if I feel like there's a little bit of a
Speaker 9: drop off of communication with somebody, I make sure to
Speaker 9: go work with them individually, one on one to figure out.
Speaker 8: What the issue is.
Speaker 9: So that was that was reassuring to hear that Tyler
Speaker 9: Beattish can can kind of make it work with whoever,
Speaker 9: but that that was what I saw. So yeah, I.
Speaker 6: Wonder if that's the new thing though, Like you mentioned, Haley,
Speaker 6: I'm sorry, I'm no, You're good. But you mentioned continuity,
Speaker 6: and that's something that through the NFL we always hang
Speaker 6: our hat on as far as offensive line. You want continuity,
Speaker 6: you want continuity. But with it being seventeen games in
Speaker 6: a season now, it feels as though this coaching staff
Speaker 6: is preparing for those scenarios because we've seen in the
Speaker 6: last couple of years, specifically with this team, is that
Speaker 6: injuries happened, injuries happened, and you have to learn on
Speaker 6: the fly, and them kind of being preventive about that
Speaker 6: and seeing what they have in these guys right now
Speaker 6: is what's happening, and so I want that to your point,
Speaker 6: I wonder if that is gonna be if this is
Speaker 6: kind of the new standard. Is like, yes, you want continuity,
Speaker 6: you want the best five and everything, but is it
Speaker 6: likely that that best five is going to finish out
Speaker 6: the whole seventeen game season.
Speaker 7: Let's prepare for the worst. I guess you know.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you mentioned Josh Ball and he's a guy who
Speaker 4: I actually have circled on like someone who I'm paying
Speaker 4: attention to this offseason because I wasn't.
Speaker 5: Here for a preseason last year.
Speaker 4: I wasn't here for training camp, so I didn't really
Speaker 4: get to see a ton of who he was.
Speaker 5: You know, at that time. The only Josh Ball I've seen.
Speaker 4: Was the Houston game when we lost Terrence Steel and
Speaker 4: he stepped in for Terrence momentarily before they said Jason
Speaker 4: Peters get out there and handle it. Yeah, and we
Speaker 4: know how that game goes, a ninety eight dark drive
Speaker 4: down the field capped off by that touchdown in Cowboys win.
Speaker 4: So he's actually someone who I've had circled on my
Speaker 4: like roster as far as players to watch because.
Speaker 5: I think very similar to me.
Speaker 4: That's kind of the only taste that Cowboys fans have
Speaker 4: really gotten to see out of him as well. So
Speaker 4: I'm curious to see his progression. You know, how he's
Speaker 4: going to fit all that good stuff. Yeah, the offensive
Speaker 4: line is definitely uh important, and it's it's it's there.
Speaker 8: Yeah, you know, I'm a lost for something.
Speaker 9: I also wanted to make sure to mention that I
Speaker 9: meant to mention the last segment, but you totally just
Speaker 9: spark my brain when you mentioned the tight ends, and
Speaker 9: you don't want them to block.
Speaker 5: No, no, no, I want them to block.
Speaker 9: You don't want you don't want them to be laser focused.
Speaker 8: You want them more involved. Sure is Haley wants them
Speaker 8: to block. Hayley wants them to block.
Speaker 3: No.
Speaker 9: It's interesting because we finally got to see all of
Speaker 9: them standing next to each other, and man, they're like
Speaker 9: clones of each other.
Speaker 12: Kids.
Speaker 8: It's insane.
Speaker 9: The poor horsemen are insane. And they were getting a
Speaker 9: lot of really good reps. I mean, you saw Scoon
Speaker 9: Maker in there, you saw Jake, you saw Peyton, you saw.
Speaker 8: Even Sean getting a lot of good reps as well.
Speaker 9: So what I really like too is it seems like
Speaker 9: they're really focused on not only you know, blocking, like.
Speaker 8: You said, but the reps that I did see.
Speaker 9: You saw Jake Ferguson making some good plays.
Speaker 8: He was spree, he was ready, he was ready to go.
Speaker 6: Yes, I'm so glad you mentioned him as it was
Speaker 6: so good because that you can see in his movement.
Speaker 6: I think titand is such a refined position. If you
Speaker 6: can be an athlete and everything, but it takes time
Speaker 6: to understand, like the body of a tight end, the
Speaker 6: way that they play angles, and he seems like he's
Speaker 6: getting it, and watching him, he seems more free in
Speaker 6: his play.
Speaker 7: You can tell so.
Speaker 6: And I saw that he got invited to Travis Kelsey's
Speaker 6: camp and stuff, and these are all things that are
Speaker 6: going to help him be better. But you can tell
Speaker 6: he's put in work in the off season. You can
Speaker 6: tell he's put in work, playbook, and also taking care
Speaker 6: of his body.
Speaker 9: And you heard it here first because I got to
Speaker 9: talk to Schoonmaker yesterday, and y'all know I've been hanging
Speaker 9: high on this since he mentioned I want to talk
Speaker 9: to Chason Witten.
Speaker 8: I want to know and I asked him. I was like,
Speaker 8: did you get in contact with him?
Speaker 9: And he said yes, And I learned so much it
Speaker 9: almost felt like my head was growing from all the
Speaker 9: things he was telling me. And so unfortunately we're in
Speaker 9: media days, everyone's being taken every which way, and I
Speaker 9: was like, what.
Speaker 8: Did he say?
Speaker 9: And then my player, who was Tyler Biattist at the time,
Speaker 9: was done, so I had to go to the next station.
Speaker 9: I was like, hold that thought, we will come back
Speaker 9: to this conversation. So I really hope I get to
Speaker 9: go back and talk to him, But he did talk
Speaker 9: to Jason Witton and he said he really was soaking
Speaker 9: it in from the two minutes I got to talk
Speaker 9: to him about it. So you've heard it here. First
Speaker 9: they got in contact. So let's see what a Let's
Speaker 9: see what Scoon can take from what Jason Wentten had
Speaker 9: to tell him.
Speaker 4: It's interesting as well with those tight ends because you
Speaker 4: the assumption is with Dalton Schultz no longer being here,
Speaker 4: that Jake Ferguson is the natural shoe in to take
Speaker 4: over that Dalton Schultz role, right, Like that's just it
Speaker 4: makes sense. But when you look at how competitive that
Speaker 4: room truly is. I know, we always talk and we
Speaker 4: joke about them being the besties, the four horsemen, and
Speaker 4: they are, like they're so tight on and off the field,
Speaker 4: which is tremendous. It is also tremendous because it creates competition,
Speaker 4: and I really believe that spoon Mayer is going to
Speaker 4: challenge Jake on some of those first team reps. I
Speaker 4: think he is going to be a significant contributor to
Speaker 4: this team from a blocking standpoint, but also getting more
Speaker 4: involved in the offense. I know we've talked about it before,
Speaker 4: just the system that he came from in Michigan.
Speaker 5: He's already prepared to play at the professional level.
Speaker 4: So I think it's very good that Jake is taking
Speaker 4: strides to become that tight end one.
Speaker 5: And you can tell from his attitude too.
Speaker 4: He's always kind of had that kind of swaggy dominant,
Speaker 4: you know, like I'm the dude kind of energy. You
Speaker 4: see that a little bit more, but it's like this
Speaker 4: much more mature. Yeah, you know what I mean, Like
Speaker 4: he's carrying. He's still the same swaggy, tatted up Jake Ferguson,
Speaker 4: who you know is he's cool and he's chill, but
Speaker 4: it's just like this much more refined.
Speaker 6: And that's also because they drafted a tight end and
Speaker 6: like you know what I'm saying, Like they drafted a
Speaker 6: tight end in the second round and so that lights
Speaker 6: fire to his but too, you know, to let him know,
Speaker 6: to let him know that, you know, you know, you
Speaker 6: got to keep working, You've got to keep getting better.
Speaker 6: And yeah, a competition, mich McCarthy's huge about competition.
Speaker 7: Trying to camp Bath be crazy. The competition in all
Speaker 7: the different spots.
Speaker 4: It is going to be sensational. All right, Let's go
Speaker 4: ahead and take our second break. This is a good
Speaker 4: stopping point. When we come back, the Cowboys have cleared
Speaker 4: up a little bit of cap space. We're going to
Speaker 4: talk about that and maybe where they can utilize that
Speaker 4: money to make this team even better.
Speaker 5: Here on Girls Talk, Boys Talk, presented by Jigsaw.

Speaker 4: Yes, I will be am seeing that as well, So
Speaker 4: come hang out with the girl, yes, as we celebrate
Speaker 4: the incredibleness that is black culture. All right, shifting gears
Speaker 4: here for our last block. Last week, I believe it
Speaker 4: was last week. Last week, the NFL Network put out
Speaker 4: the top ten most competitive rosters up until this point,
Speaker 4: and I'm gonna read you guys to top five, So
Speaker 4: coming in at number one. Unfortunately, the Philadelphia Eagles number
Speaker 4: two Kansas City Chiefs, number three the San Francisco forty
Speaker 4: nine ers, and number four the Cincinnati Bengals.
Speaker 5: Guess who's number five? Spoiler alert they.
Speaker 6: Got up let the Cowboys at five, and it's your
Speaker 6: Dallas Cowboys.
Speaker 4: They have in terms of what they did in the
Speaker 4: off season, in terms of what they did, you know,
Speaker 4: in free agency, all that stuff. The Cowboys are going
Speaker 4: into twenty twenty three as of right now as the number.
Speaker 5: Five most complete roster. Now we know there's obviously still
Speaker 5: some holes.
Speaker 4: We talked about the kicker position, the office and blind
Speaker 4: there's still some holes as well, and a couple other
Speaker 4: places where they can do some move in and shift
Speaker 4: in and and all that good stuff. But something that
Speaker 4: did come out this morning because of the June first deadline,
Speaker 4: a lot more cap space has been freed up.
Speaker 5: A lot of that because of Ezekiel Elliott. So the
Speaker 5: Cowboys have roughly.
Speaker 4: Ten point nine million dollars freed in cap space because
Speaker 4: of when they did the release for Ezekiel Elliott. So
Speaker 4: my question for you ladies as we wrap up this show,
Speaker 4: where do you spend that money?
Speaker 5: Do you spend it at all? What do you do?
Speaker 8: Kicker kicker, kicker?
Speaker 9: Here?
Speaker 5: Are you telling me that I could make Hayley go?
Speaker 9: Why are you.
Speaker 8: Still sitting here, ma'am Hailey?
Speaker 5: I'll man, I'm gonna have to drop the video.
Speaker 4: So for for reference, I played soccer in college, obviously,
Speaker 4: but when I was working in Alabama, I did a
Speaker 4: story over a young lady who was the first high
Speaker 4: school female kicker in Auburn high school history. She's the
Speaker 4: coolest girl ever, Ellie Rodney. To this day, I still
Speaker 4: keep up with her. She's awesome. But I did a
Speaker 4: story with her, and she taught me how to kick
Speaker 4: a field goal, and she walked me through it one
Speaker 4: by one, piece by piece, And I kid you not.
Speaker 5: I'm bragging a little bit, but I kid you not.
Speaker 4: My first field goal attempt was about thirty five out.
Speaker 8: Okay, so why are you sitting here?
Speaker 3: Go talk to both?
Speaker 9: Wait?
Speaker 5: Wait, it's about thirty five yards out. I was wearing
Speaker 5: Vans jeans and.
Speaker 7: A polo flex on him, man, and y'all.
Speaker 5: I'm not gonna lie. I drilled it. Tell him I
Speaker 5: drilled it.
Speaker 4: Will I will read, I'll find the video. It's on Twitter,
Speaker 4: I'll find it. I will post it up.
Speaker 5: But I'm not kidding, y'all. I'm a boller.
Speaker 9: Look, do you have workout clothes with you? O start
Speaker 9: again in a couple hours. I'm gonna need you ready
Speaker 9: to go.
Speaker 5: We'll see, let's see in the little pads.
Speaker 9: No, it's I say kicker because Jerry specifically talked about,
Speaker 9: you know, when we talked to him recently, about how
Speaker 9: he wants somebody who's a little bit younger as compared
Speaker 9: to an older guy. Which makes sense, right. You want
Speaker 9: somebody to grow within your organization. You don't want to
Speaker 9: keep wor about this kicker situation season after season after season.
Speaker 9: You need stability within your kicker. And I think you
Speaker 9: know when you look at what happened last season with
Speaker 9: Brett maher is he still remains the top scorer in
Speaker 9: the NFL. I mean you're talking about a kicker. It
Speaker 9: was beating out everybody that had the most points in
Speaker 9: the NFL. And the thing is is, yes, we know
Speaker 9: what happened come playoff time. We understand why the decision
Speaker 9: is to you know, not have him in the conversation anymore.
Speaker 9: But you also see what a difference that made within
Speaker 9: those crunch time games when you needed the kicker Brett
Speaker 9: Maher was there, especially when you're talking the first what
Speaker 9: five weeks of the season post Dak Prescott thumb injury
Speaker 9: and Cooper Rush was kind of getting his feet on
Speaker 9: the ground. You knew you could count on the kicking game,
Speaker 9: and it was just a good place to be in
Speaker 9: for me. If you want a younger guy, you need
Speaker 9: to invest in somebody, and you need to have that incentive,
Speaker 9: which is, yes, you're coming to play for the Dallas Cowboys,
Speaker 9: but here's a little bit of extra cash, you know,
Speaker 9: spend on the kicker. Don't be cheap on the kicker,
Speaker 9: because again, it is such an important part of this game.
Speaker 9: And I don't want to sit here and worry about
Speaker 9: this kicker situation anymore.
Speaker 8: It's stressed.
Speaker 9: It is one of those things if I think about
Speaker 9: it too much before I go to bed, I'm.
Speaker 8: Not going to bed like that. It's just it's eating me.
Speaker 5: You need to read a book you like it got
Speaker 5: you like that.
Speaker 8: I've been I've been stressing because here's the thing.
Speaker 9: This is no shade to trist Tristan it all right,
Speaker 9: this is no shade. But you need healthy competition in here.
Speaker 9: Because we saw what happened last season. I mean, we're
Speaker 9: talking all the way up until training camp before Brett
Speaker 9: Mahert came in, and even then Brett Maher's history with
Speaker 9: the Cowboys prior, nobody was really excited about it at first,
Speaker 9: and then you know, he had his growth, he did
Speaker 9: everything he needed to do. But all that to say,
Speaker 9: I'm I am worried about the O line where it
Speaker 9: stands and words a heavy word, I'm I'm I'm concerned
Speaker 9: to what it looks like right now.
Speaker 8: I will not be concerned come September.
Speaker 9: I know that, right Yeah, so where it is right now,
Speaker 9: But kicker, I'm concerned about where kicker stands right now.
Speaker 9: It's a big question mark what it can look like
Speaker 9: come September, especially when you're talking about these big, shining
Speaker 9: names that are still available and kickers a position that
Speaker 9: every team can always spruce up if they don't have
Speaker 9: somebody that's dependable and.
Speaker 14: Reliable kicker, Kicker spend on a kicker Well yeah, kicker,
Speaker 14: clearly she was not playing, but yeah, so of course kicker.
Speaker 6: I think the Cowboy's gonna either hold on to that
Speaker 6: change and see what happens in training camp, see if
Speaker 6: somebody get danged up see if there's a need there,
Speaker 6: I will say my spody sense to start tingling when
Speaker 6: you said that, Yeah, when you said that Josh Ball
Speaker 6: was playing right guard, and I know he was, but
Speaker 6: if is he the backup right guard?
Speaker 7: To all right, We're.
Speaker 6: Gonna talk about that another day, but that you So
Speaker 6: it's to Zach Martin so that I.
Speaker 4: Hate throwing shade to these guys because it's so nice.
Speaker 7: We're evaluating shade barnacles.
Speaker 9: And the thing is is anything you we say on here,
Speaker 9: we would tell them, and that is that's important to know.
Speaker 6: O line help, possibly bring in someone for you know,
Speaker 6: O line help, if that's possible.
Speaker 7: But I also to if.
Speaker 6: I'm not mistaken, I don't know if it's CD or
Speaker 6: Trayvon is I think CD has the fifth year, but
Speaker 6: Trayvon year.
Speaker 5: Trayvon is in a contract yere, so there could be.
Speaker 6: You know, maybe conversations of talking about his cash or
Speaker 6: however they decide to do that going into next season,
Speaker 6: just to kind of settle things out, so there's not
Speaker 6: that I'm.
Speaker 7: Gonna get paid all during the season and stuff.
Speaker 6: So maybe that's something they do, but they're gonna hold
Speaker 6: onto that coin.
Speaker 7: They're gonna see what they.
Speaker 6: Got at training camp and uh, and then they'll make
Speaker 6: their decisions from there, because I think they brought they
Speaker 6: brought inter camp, right, yeah, Anthony Barr Camp the Kicker
Speaker 6: her cam. Yeah, so they they're going to hold on
Speaker 6: to that cash and see what they have and a
Speaker 6: gentleman at camp, and then they'll probably decide like, Okay,
Speaker 6: well we do need this.
Speaker 7: It's more so kind of scene what they got in house. First.
Speaker 5: You mentioned CD. We keep talking about media days.
Speaker 8: It's fun.
Speaker 5: It was fun to.
Speaker 4: See them at Media Days before I got to see
Speaker 4: them at OTAs because that was my first like re introduction,
Speaker 4: not the introduction that's dumb, but you know what I mean,
Speaker 4: that's the my first time seeing them really in their
Speaker 4: element since San Francisco.
Speaker 5: And so they're on a good mood.
Speaker 4: They're hyped up, they're taking pictures and you know, like
Speaker 4: they're doing all their little hype stuff. And I was
Speaker 4: walking around with Sam Williams, and I love seeing Sam.
Speaker 4: Sam's a guy who I've covered in my career previously,
Speaker 4: so we have that connection and I just I love
Speaker 4: spending time with him because he's just the biggest goofball.
Speaker 4: He never takes anything serious unless it's football. So anyways,
Speaker 4: I'm walking around with him and we're getting ready to
Speaker 4: go into the room where they're doing some stuff with
Speaker 4: our creative team, and CD is standing outside, and so
Speaker 4: we were talking I think about like piercings or something
Speaker 4: like that. I had nothing to do with anything that
Speaker 4: was important, but we were talking about piercings, and CD
Speaker 4: casually just drops in the conversation. He's like, because one
Speaker 4: of the promo girls had a like hurt the inside
Speaker 4: of her ear was pierced, like I don't know how
Speaker 4: to describe it, but it was crazy and it looked
Speaker 4: like it was painful. So that's what we were talking about,
Speaker 4: and and CD. So we're all talking about that, and
Speaker 4: CD is like, yeah, I was hanging out with Usher
Speaker 4: one time and he had that ear piercing to he
Speaker 4: said it hurt too, And for me like, okay, cool,
Speaker 4: Like I'm sure these people have like Hella important people
Speaker 4: in their phone, so I.
Speaker 5: Didn't think anything of it. But before anyone.
Speaker 4: Could say anything, Sam was like, Oh, you're just gonna
Speaker 4: name drop us like that in the conversation, Like we're
Speaker 4: not like that, Like that's not normal, and.
Speaker 5: CD just as cool as possible.
Speaker 4: He kind of like flicked his dreads back and he's
Speaker 4: like he's like, yeah, like we were just hanging out
Speaker 4: like we were just you know, at a at a function,
Speaker 4: and I was like, okay, yeah, we're just out of
Speaker 4: function with Usher, so oh man cowboy.
Speaker 15: Right, like, oh to know what piercings was great, but
Speaker 15: it's just it is really good just to see how
Speaker 15: good of a mood they're in, just to kind of.
Speaker 5: Bring things full circle. I did think Sam, like I said,
Speaker 5: Sam was fun.
Speaker 4: I asked him what his goals were this season, and
Speaker 4: he said, I want to get ten sacks.
Speaker 5: He said, I had twelve tackles for last last year.
Speaker 5: I had five.
Speaker 4: I believe he had five sacks last year, but that's
Speaker 4: his goal.
Speaker 5: He said, I want ten sacks this year.
Speaker 7: Yeah, he's a guy. I think it's taken up up
Speaker 7: tick in this.
Speaker 5: He looks bigger too.
Speaker 4: That's always something that's interesting too when you see these guys.
Speaker 5: Layton has slimmed up.
Speaker 4: He actually is joking about how his shoulder pads didn't
Speaker 4: fit because he because he's slimmed up a little bit.
Speaker 7: Tyler Smith looks like a unit.
Speaker 8: Yeah yeah, yeah, like.
Speaker 4: He's like baby Osa, because Osa to me is like prototypical,
Speaker 4: Like when I think of a football player, I think.
Speaker 5: Of OsO Diggis.
Speaker 4: It was just big shoulders, strong legs, like just solid
Speaker 4: and Tyler Smith is on his way to that. But
Speaker 4: Sam as well, his arms were a lot wrong. He
Speaker 4: lost a little bit of the baby way in his face. So, uh,
Speaker 4: we're looking good guy.
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's something that I really noticed from the guys
Speaker 6: being in the locker room.
Speaker 7: I'm I ain't gona lot of y'all.
Speaker 6: That's that's kind of from the draft and just kind
Speaker 6: of how I look at players is how lean they are,
Speaker 6: how they and so I really wanted to ask the
Speaker 6: guys like, what did you do in the off season
Speaker 6: to take care of your body?
Speaker 7: How are you eating? You wouldn't just eating doritos, right,
Speaker 7: What was you doing?
Speaker 4: And I was like, what about it?
Speaker 6: I was talking to them and it was so dope
Speaker 6: just to hear how many of the guys had certain
Speaker 6: regiments they really followed and they were strict to like
Speaker 6: you said, some guys have leaned out, some guys have
Speaker 6: put on muscle that is needed. And it was just
Speaker 6: I saw Tyler Beatti's too and I was like, look
Speaker 6: at you and your grown man body like you because
Speaker 6: you can tell that.
Speaker 7: Because it does.
Speaker 6: It takes time to develop into that body. Everybody don't
Speaker 6: come in here like Mazi. Everybody don't come in here
Speaker 6: like that.
Speaker 9: Can I just say, yesterday was the first time I've
Speaker 9: actually stood close to me was like, hello, you are
Speaker 9: a human wall like, what is going on?
Speaker 4: And he's so nice too, So it's just like that's
Speaker 4: how I feel about Junior. For Hoko, Yeah, he's massive.
Speaker 4: And then you talk to him and he's like, oh,
Speaker 4: how are you doing, Like he's got a little.
Speaker 5: Four month old baby.
Speaker 6: Yeah, they have a this I was since Mike McCarthy
Speaker 6: has been here, I do think that there is a
Speaker 6: certain character that you can feel. There's a lightheartedness to
Speaker 6: a lot of the gentlemen that they drift.
Speaker 7: And it's I think it's healthy for the locker room.
Speaker 6: I really do think it's healthy to have you have
Speaker 6: some some somewhat older guys. I know you said you
Speaker 6: touched base with Tank Lawrence ye Mane. He's realizing that
Speaker 6: he's really a veteran.
Speaker 5: Yeah, he's a veteran.
Speaker 7: In here, and then yes, and then you have those
Speaker 7: middle guys like Dak and then you have these young guys.
Speaker 5: Has a sixteen year old daughter. Stop I know, yeah,
Speaker 5: I'm dead for real.
Speaker 4: He's got a sixteen year old and I think he
Speaker 4: said a five six year old, a sixteen year old
Speaker 4: and a six year old.
Speaker 5: I think it is what he told me yesterday.
Speaker 8: Yeah, I was.
Speaker 9: I was escorting it was Junior Fijoko because basically our
Speaker 9: jobs were to make sure everybody got where they needed
Speaker 9: to go. When you're talking about a handful of football
Speaker 9: players that need to take different videos and pictures, you
Speaker 9: can get a little chaotic.
Speaker 10: Yeah.
Speaker 9: So I'm walking around and I'm holding their pads and
Speaker 9: their helmets and I'm like, it's okay, guys, I got this.
Speaker 8: You are carrying all their Yeah, oh yeah, we're carrying around.
Speaker 8: And so it was. It was funny because my last guy.
Speaker 9: Of the day yesterday was was Junior and we were
Speaker 9: talking and the man loves Pink Starburst. I mean, I
Speaker 9: didn't know his love for Pink Star Wars really went
Speaker 9: as far as it did, guys, but he loves specifically
Speaker 9: the Pink star Wars.
Speaker 8: I was like, have that in common, best flavor?
Speaker 9: But what I really liked talking about him too, And
Speaker 9: I mentioned this from my first reaction of him was
Speaker 9: the family and the importance of his family.
Speaker 8: The whole time we were there, we were talking.
Speaker 9: About our families because that's all he wanted to talk
Speaker 9: about was his family, his love for his family, the food,
Speaker 9: the culture.
Speaker 8: It just it was so interesting digging into his brain.
Speaker 9: And so when you talk about they have a type,
Speaker 9: it's it's this very healthy locker room culture. Because there
Speaker 9: was one point where we were all in a room
Speaker 9: with it was Cooper Rush, Will Greer, Tyler Biattish, Tyler Smith,
Speaker 9: Cavante Turpin, Brandon Cooks, and they're all talking amongst each other.
Speaker 9: I mean you're talking about guys in different spots and
Speaker 9: they were all just such a team. And you know what,
Speaker 9: I really one of the main things I took out
Speaker 9: of media days and getting to be part of that
Speaker 9: was that Brandon Cooks. We talked about setting the example.
Speaker 9: I mean, you're talking about a guy who's waiting in
Speaker 9: a room for forty five minutes, sitting there, not complaining,
Speaker 9: not you know, getting anxious about it, but making conversation
Speaker 9: with the promo team and his teammates and making the
Speaker 9: best of the time that he was there. Anybody in
Speaker 9: that position but the football player or not, would be like,
Speaker 9: why am I waiting forty five minutes?
Speaker 8: This is crazy?
Speaker 9: I mean you think about when you go to a
Speaker 9: doctor's appointment, right and you're sitting in the waiting room,
Speaker 9: you get antsy, you get annoyed. No, Brandon Cooks was
Speaker 9: sitting there and just it was it was easy to
Speaker 9: see how the guys around him wide receiver or not
Speaker 9: we're taking suit to If Brandon's not complaining about sitting
Speaker 9: here for forty five minutes, I can't really complain either.
Speaker 8: So that was really cool to see firsthand.
Speaker 7: Your quarterback is good too. I just want to throw
Speaker 7: that out there and talk about everyone knows like no
Speaker 7: one has.
Speaker 6: And again it's I think it's just because he's he's
Speaker 6: his dack at this point and his OTAs and stuff.
Speaker 6: But he looks sharp. He sounds mentally sharp, y'all. A
Speaker 6: little on a should too, you know what I'm saying, Like, yeah,
Speaker 6: but I wanted to definitely mention the fact that he
Speaker 6: looks sharp and he again looks like he's in total
Speaker 6: control of this offense and what it's just and what's
Speaker 6: going on and his supreme confidence just you know, radius
Speaker 6: through the team. I wanted to highlight him because he
Speaker 6: is their leader and they follow him also as well.
Speaker 5: So yeah, I'm excited to get to chat with him today.
Speaker 4: Before we go, I found my girl Ellie. This is
Speaker 4: this is my girl Rodney. She taught me how to
Speaker 4: kick a field goal. So shout out to Ellie. I
Speaker 4: know she's so cute. She's so great, my girl Ellie.
Speaker 4: So if you guys see me out at practice, mind
Speaker 4: your business. I'm trying to make the roster.
Speaker 8: That I'll do it for.
