00:00:00,600 --> 00:00:03,120
Speaker 1: The following is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com

Speaker 1: and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club. Are you ready for

00:00:06,360 --> 00:00:10,880
Speaker 1: a break? Are you ready for a break? Absolutely ready

4
00:00:11,119 --> 00:00:14,800
Speaker 1: for a break? Yeah, and so much for that. It's

5
00:00:14,840 --> 00:00:20,720
Speaker 1: time for The Break on Dallas Cowboys dot Com with

6
00:00:20,840 --> 00:00:26,000
Speaker 1: Nick Eatman, David Hellman, and bar Garcia and Derek Eagleton.

7
00:00:26,120 --> 00:00:29,480
Speaker 1: It is Tuesday, September fourth, twenty eighteen, Season fours, in

8
00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:32,000
Speaker 1: episode number thirty three. Welcome to a very very special

9
00:00:32,120 --> 00:00:34,720
Speaker 1: edition of The Break. We are living back on the air,

10
00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:38,200
Speaker 1: ready to talk some Cowboys football because the season is here.

11
00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:40,760
Speaker 1: It is week one of the NFL season. We have

12
00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:42,720
Speaker 1: not had a chance to talk since the roster cut,

13
00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:44,360
Speaker 1: so we'll spend quite a bit of time today talking

14
00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:46,800
Speaker 1: about the roster and how this team's made up. But

15
00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:48,879
Speaker 1: the great part is that the games are starting this

16
00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:51,720
Speaker 1: week and as of Wednesday and Thursday and Friday, we'll

17
00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:55,400
Speaker 1: be talking about Cowboys versus Panthers, which gets me excited.

18
00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:56,959
Speaker 1: I don't know about you, guys, it gets me very

19
00:00:57,040 --> 00:00:59,959
Speaker 1: very excited. I'm ready to go. Somebody get feeling good today,

20
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:03,680
Speaker 1: feel freaking great? Awesome college football this weekend. That was

21
00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:06,560
Speaker 1: a good weekend for some, not all, but some, and

22
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:09,000
Speaker 1: it was just good to see football back on. Let's

23
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:11,800
Speaker 1: start first, this fifty three man roster and this thing.

24
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:15,560
Speaker 1: I guess when I first when I first heard Nick,

25
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:18,000
Speaker 1: you you were the one that texted me and said, yeah,

26
00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:21,960
Speaker 1: the roster's out without Dan Bailey, and it was I

27
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:25,119
Speaker 1: was a bit shocked. I've learned in the NFL, though,

28
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:28,759
Speaker 1: not to be completely shocked about pretty much anything. But

29
00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:30,679
Speaker 1: I do want to hear from you guys on what

30
00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:33,080
Speaker 1: your thoughts were. I saw your I saw your tweet

31
00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:36,319
Speaker 1: amber about Dan Bailey. I want to know your thoughts

32
00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:38,640
Speaker 1: about what you thought first when you saw that Dan

33
00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:41,160
Speaker 1: Bailey is no longer part of the Dallas Cowboys. Well,

34
00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:42,760
Speaker 1: we have talked a little bit. I mean, I know,

35
00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:45,280
Speaker 1: not in this group, but we did talk some yesterday

36
00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:47,560
Speaker 1: on a show, so some of some people might have

37
00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:50,440
Speaker 1: heard that. But I'll be real quick. I was really surprised.

38
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:52,440
Speaker 1: As the day went on Saturday night, I kind of

39
00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:55,080
Speaker 1: was a little bit more bothered by what happened. I

40
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:56,880
Speaker 1: wrote a column about it. I just didn't feel like

41
00:01:56,960 --> 00:02:00,320
Speaker 1: there was a true competition. Even the Garrett came back

42
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 1: yesterday and said, you know, they're always competing and all

43
00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:05,120
Speaker 1: that stuff. And he explained some reasons. I don't agree

44
00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:07,440
Speaker 1: with all of them. Actually, um, you know, they can

45
00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:08,960
Speaker 1: do whatever he wants. He went with it with the

46
00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:12,560
Speaker 1: other kicker. I just felt like Dan deserved a better

47
00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:16,160
Speaker 1: opportunity to win his job. He's the best that's ever

48
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:18,640
Speaker 1: done it for the Cowboys. And if there's confidence issues,

49
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:21,560
Speaker 1: he had four preseason games because we know they weren't

50
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:23,920
Speaker 1: trying to win those games. You should have been evaluating

51
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:25,840
Speaker 1: him and to see if he could make it and

52
00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:28,560
Speaker 1: then move on. And then without just saying we don't

53
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:31,600
Speaker 1: think he's going to be good enough to move on. Yeah,

54
00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:35,280
Speaker 1: I mean I echo most of that. I was floored, honestly.

55
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:37,520
Speaker 1: I don't know. I haven't been here forever, but this

56
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:39,000
Speaker 1: is my six year cover in the team, and I

57
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:41,640
Speaker 1: don't know that I've ever been more surprised by something

58
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:46,519
Speaker 1: that happened. And again and yeah, absolutely, And here's the thing.

59
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:50,960
Speaker 1: Here's what I take issue with, is uh with De's Bryant,

60
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:52,800
Speaker 1: Like we saw the writing on the wall for months

61
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:55,440
Speaker 1: and months, even with Jason Witten, we sort of you

62
00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:58,760
Speaker 1: know that's right, you heard rumors that it could happen

63
00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:01,200
Speaker 1: you know, somebody report that he had tried out with

64
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:04,600
Speaker 1: Joe tessitur like you all you hear this stuff. I

65
00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:08,280
Speaker 1: didn't hear anything about this until maybe fifteen minutes before

66
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:11,000
Speaker 1: it actually happened, and it came right out of left field.

67
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:13,959
Speaker 1: And the thing that bothers me is exactly Dan Bailey

68
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:16,880
Speaker 1: struggled down the end of last season. We all know

69
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:20,520
Speaker 1: that we watched it happen the a what a cherry

70
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:23,720
Speaker 1: on a crap Sunday that Philadelphia game was to see

71
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:27,400
Speaker 1: him play so poorly in such a meaningless and awful game.

72
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:31,560
Speaker 1: Having seen all of that, you didn't get the first

73
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:36,040
Speaker 1: idea that the Cowboys had concerns in the long term.

74
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:37,960
Speaker 1: You know, you didn't hear about it in the offseason.

75
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:40,920
Speaker 1: It's not in the dozens and dozens of times that

76
00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:43,240
Speaker 1: the Joneses and Jason Garrett talked during the course of

77
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:46,560
Speaker 1: an off season. It never came up. Dan Bailey struggled

78
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:49,400
Speaker 1: for two practice days in Oxnard, and the media even

79
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:52,920
Speaker 1: tried to bring it up, and point blank Jason Garrett

80
00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:56,640
Speaker 1: was dismissive of it. Like, we feel great about Dan Bailey.

81
00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:58,200
Speaker 1: He's made a lot of kicks for us. We're not

82
00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:00,840
Speaker 1: worried about it, and then they pulled the rug out

83
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:02,760
Speaker 1: from under him right at the start of the regular season.

84
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:05,400
Speaker 1: And to be fair, again, we said this on the

85
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:08,600
Speaker 1: show we did yesterday. They know Dan better than I do.

86
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:11,560
Speaker 1: They are around him more, they see him more, they

87
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:13,920
Speaker 1: have a better feel for whether or not they should

88
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:17,000
Speaker 1: have confidence in him than I do. That's fair, but

89
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:19,640
Speaker 1: I absolutely reserve the right to criticize them for it

90
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:23,360
Speaker 1: until proven otherwise. Maybe this was the right call, and

91
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:25,440
Speaker 1: I will give them credit for it if that comes

92
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:27,800
Speaker 1: to pass. But I just don't like the way they

93
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:30,960
Speaker 1: handled it. I never got the impression that Dan Bailey

94
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:33,880
Speaker 1: was in a competition. I wonder if he ever thought that,

95
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:37,080
Speaker 1: and so it's just it just seems weird to me.

96
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:40,640
Speaker 1: And yeah, I didn't really love the way at all

97
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:43,120
Speaker 1: played out. But we'll see. I mean, the great thing

98
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:46,080
Speaker 1: about that is, especially with a position where the spotlight's

99
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:49,080
Speaker 1: on you like that, we're gonna know real quick whether

100
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:51,440
Speaker 1: or not they made the right calls. That's two people

101
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:53,800
Speaker 1: that don't have a poster of Dan Bailey on their wall.

102
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:59,520
Speaker 1: Sociall see what happens with someone that I am. I

103
00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:02,800
Speaker 1: am really really upset and when I saw that. It

104
00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:07,720
Speaker 1: was absolutely surprising, especially when you see them giving him

105
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:10,920
Speaker 1: only one chance. He only kicked the ball once, right

106
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:15,039
Speaker 1: in the whole preseason. Yes it was only once? Yeah, yeah,

107
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:18,080
Speaker 1: in games? In games, And a guy that has been

108
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:21,119
Speaker 1: here so long, that has proven to be so good

109
00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:23,920
Speaker 1: for your team, how do you go about it this way?

110
00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:25,880
Speaker 1: And if you want to talk, And I'm not a

111
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:30,320
Speaker 1: cap gap whatever expert, I'm not a money expert and

112
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:33,280
Speaker 1: all that. But if you're like, Okay, that's gonna save

113
00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:37,680
Speaker 1: you about three million whatever, that's nothing. That's like change money.

114
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:41,760
Speaker 1: If you're a regular pedestrian, that's a lot of money.

115
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:44,240
Speaker 1: But when it comes to this, I'm like, okay, you

116
00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:47,240
Speaker 1: say you save money by cutting death. What you do

117
00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:49,440
Speaker 1: with that money? Nothing yet, you haven't done it. You

118
00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:52,000
Speaker 1: can carry that money over, So let's say, okay, that's

119
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:53,400
Speaker 1: why I have to spend it now in order for

120
00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:55,080
Speaker 1: it to be valuable to them for a team that

121
00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:57,760
Speaker 1: already had sixteen million in cap space. I agree with her.

122
00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:01,200
Speaker 1: Three million is nothing nothing. Get all that, I guess,

123
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:04,200
Speaker 1: and I don't want to. I'm bringing Earl Thomas and

124
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:08,000
Speaker 1: this is the big work behind it all. Then okay,

125
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:11,760
Speaker 1: I'll maybe forgive this happening that they need my forgiveness.

126
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:15,159
Speaker 1: But if that's a plan, then okay, we're good. But

127
00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:17,560
Speaker 1: as of right now, it just doesn't make any sense. Well,

128
00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:19,560
Speaker 1: I guess the way I look at that is, I

129
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:22,120
Speaker 1: think next year, if let's assume for a second that

130
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:24,680
Speaker 1: Tank has a really good year, they got to figure

131
00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:26,400
Speaker 1: out how they're gonna pay him. Right, Well, hold on

132
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:28,320
Speaker 1: just a second, they gotta figure out how how they're

133
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:30,320
Speaker 1: gonna pay him. They still have a quarterback that's playing

134
00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:32,080
Speaker 1: on his rookie contract. At some point they're gonna have

135
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:34,560
Speaker 1: to pay him if he continues to progress as they

136
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:38,080
Speaker 1: think he will. Right, and then let's remember Earl Thomas,

137
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:40,400
Speaker 1: whether that happens now or not, Old Thomas will be

138
00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:42,279
Speaker 1: a free agent next year. So if they want to

139
00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:44,479
Speaker 1: go after him next year, they will have every opportunity

140
00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:45,720
Speaker 1: to do it, and they're gonna have to pay him.

141
00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:48,760
Speaker 1: Don't forget and ze. So all I'm saying is there

142
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:51,320
Speaker 1: are things that are coming up that if the Cowboys

143
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:53,520
Speaker 1: are thinking, hey, let's look at this from a long

144
00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:56,400
Speaker 1: term perspective, and let's assume for a second that they

145
00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:58,240
Speaker 1: look at this and say, this is money that we

146
00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:00,039
Speaker 1: may not have to use Now we can hold this

147
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:02,160
Speaker 1: money over and we can have it available to us

148
00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:05,520
Speaker 1: next year. Then it does create a situation where three

149
00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:08,320
Speaker 1: million becomes valuable because you have all these different parts

150
00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:11,280
Speaker 1: that you have to sign. But that conversation only becomes

151
00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:13,880
Speaker 1: relevant if you have lost confidence that Dan Bailey is

152
00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:17,680
Speaker 1: the most accurate kicker. Absolutely absolutely, And that's where I

153
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:20,360
Speaker 1: get back to, or I shouldn't ague back to. That's

154
00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:23,280
Speaker 1: where I think from what they've said, they felt like

155
00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:27,000
Speaker 1: because of the injuries, they felt like because of the

156
00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:30,880
Speaker 1: challenges that he had last year. I think they kind

157
00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:32,480
Speaker 1: of got to a point where they were like, well,

158
00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:34,360
Speaker 1: we don't know that we trust him for the money,

159
00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:36,400
Speaker 1: and then we talk about this conversation all the time. Right,

160
00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:39,880
Speaker 1: if you're paying guy premium money and he's premium player,

161
00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:42,280
Speaker 1: then you feel great about it. You'll pay him all day, right,

162
00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:44,520
Speaker 1: But if you got to a point where you feel like, hey,

163
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:46,960
Speaker 1: every time he runs out there, we're just as worried

164
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:49,160
Speaker 1: as we would be with this young this other guy,

165
00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:52,320
Speaker 1: and it's gonna cost us three million less and go

166
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:56,160
Speaker 1: with the other guy. To be fair, he's had injuries

167
00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:58,640
Speaker 1: two years in a row. His percentage has dipped I

168
00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:02,320
Speaker 1: think three years in a row, but again to nixt

169
00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:06,080
Speaker 1: point where let him let him compete. He got one

170
00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:09,600
Speaker 1: kick in the preseason and I just I won't understand

171
00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:11,280
Speaker 1: that for the life of me. Yeah, and again, how

172
00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:14,160
Speaker 1: does that help him on landing? And I don't think

173
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:16,280
Speaker 1: he needs that much help to for another team to

174
00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:18,280
Speaker 1: grab him. I think he still has a lot in

175
00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:21,720
Speaker 1: him left. But with the guy that you had have

176
00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:24,920
Speaker 1: had for so long and that you would assume you

177
00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:27,840
Speaker 1: respect and everything because of everything that he has done

178
00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:30,640
Speaker 1: for you, how do you take the ability to showcase

179
00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:34,320
Speaker 1: your talent during the preseason as far as other team

180
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:36,680
Speaker 1: If that's what you're planning on doing and cutting him,

181
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:40,079
Speaker 1: why don't you let him show it and allow him

182
00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:44,120
Speaker 1: to see, you know, other teams see what he's still capable.

183
00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:46,000
Speaker 1: Let me ask you this, and Nick and I would

184
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:49,000
Speaker 1: have this conversation with walking In today. Could you really

185
00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:54,200
Speaker 1: could he really show it in the preseas? But wait, wait,

186
00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:57,520
Speaker 1: I think that the way that that they probably would

187
00:08:57,520 --> 00:09:00,400
Speaker 1: look at that I would think is if we're worried

188
00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:03,440
Speaker 1: about injuries and we're worried about what he's done the

189
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:07,079
Speaker 1: past couple of years, Like how We've seen him decline

190
00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:10,160
Speaker 1: and we've seen injuries. He might be great right now

191
00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:12,000
Speaker 1: in the preseason. He might go out and kick all

192
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:14,840
Speaker 1: those field goals, but that doesn't necessarily make me feel

193
00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:17,559
Speaker 1: better if I'm worried about injuries and if I'm worried

194
00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:20,600
Speaker 1: about the future of where he's going based upon his

195
00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:23,000
Speaker 1: trajectory over the last couple of years. So yeah, I

196
00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:25,360
Speaker 1: could have given him that shot, but that doesn't necessarily

197
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:28,080
Speaker 1: clear up Mike, Well, you know what I mean, how

198
00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:31,480
Speaker 1: much more important was the last game of the season

199
00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:33,800
Speaker 1: against the Eagles than a preseason game. I mean, they

200
00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:36,240
Speaker 1: both didn't seem to matter in the in the you know,

201
00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:39,240
Speaker 1: on the standings because they were out of it. But

202
00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:41,600
Speaker 1: yet talking to Garrett yesterday, it made it sound like

203
00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:45,120
Speaker 1: that last kick was pretty important that that Bailey missed.

204
00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:47,199
Speaker 1: So if you're going to get valued by a game

205
00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:49,320
Speaker 1: that doesn't matter, there, I mean you should have valued.

206
00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:51,680
Speaker 1: I think Brett Maher's kick of fifty seven yards I

207
00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:53,280
Speaker 1: think that got him on the team, and I agree,

208
00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:55,080
Speaker 1: and I think if Bailey could have got that kick,

209
00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:57,200
Speaker 1: I think it could could have helped him. And again,

210
00:09:57,240 --> 00:10:00,679
Speaker 1: that's the one position that you can show you're telling

211
00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:03,679
Speaker 1: no matter why, no matter who who the other players

212
00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:05,520
Speaker 1: are on the field right now, just a one position

213
00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:07,480
Speaker 1: you can still show what you can do, no matter

214
00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:10,400
Speaker 1: if veteran guys are playing or not. But I also

215
00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:13,719
Speaker 1: believe that that's the one position where I'm just as

216
00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:15,920
Speaker 1: what he does in practice is just as important as

217
00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:17,559
Speaker 1: what he does in game lining up and kicking a

218
00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:19,960
Speaker 1: field goal and practice. The only difference is you don't

219
00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:22,480
Speaker 1: have the pressure. So seeing him kick and seeing him

220
00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:25,360
Speaker 1: kick over and over again in practice, that'll give you

221
00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:27,719
Speaker 1: the same kind of confidence. And there was that day

222
00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:29,800
Speaker 1: or two there where he was a little bit off

223
00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:32,640
Speaker 1: the rails. Okay, well liked when he throws the passes

224
00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:38,199
Speaker 1: in practice. Still again it's still a difference. But yeah,

225
00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:40,360
Speaker 1: but that's different a quarterback and a kicker. That's okay.

226
00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:45,240
Speaker 1: Here's something that I think is kind of a really

227
00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:48,880
Speaker 1: underlying problem here that that I think other players need

228
00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:51,640
Speaker 1: to look at around the league, especially here. I've seen

229
00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:54,720
Speaker 1: it now happen a few times. You can be a

230
00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:57,480
Speaker 1: warrior and come come out and play if you're banged up.

231
00:10:57,640 --> 00:10:59,640
Speaker 1: I mean, you want to come back and fight for

232
00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:02,280
Speaker 1: this team game, but you better be real careful with

233
00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:05,600
Speaker 1: how you play, because if you put bad tape on

234
00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:09,840
Speaker 1: yourself out there, your own team will evaluate that against you.

235
00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:12,520
Speaker 1: I've seen it happen with DeMarcus where he played with

236
00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:19,800
Speaker 1: Hatchers ago because he saw DeMarcus where fight through all

237
00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:21,320
Speaker 1: this stuff, and then all of a sudden he gets

238
00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:23,760
Speaker 1: labeled as a guy that doesn't have it anymore, even

239
00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:25,800
Speaker 1: though he now he has a really shiny left hand

240
00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:28,520
Speaker 1: because of what he did in Denver. I mean, in

241
00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:30,880
Speaker 1: the same with Bailey, we're all forgetting. I mean, Odell

242
00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:33,520
Speaker 1: Beckham got paid. He only played in like four games

243
00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:36,319
Speaker 1: last year. I mean, why was he Because he's great?

244
00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:39,040
Speaker 1: But why I mean he only played in four games.

245
00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:42,000
Speaker 1: He only played in four games. But he's great. He

246
00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:44,920
Speaker 1: wasn't great last year. What's the difference? Did he get hurt?

247
00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:49,200
Speaker 1: But he's great? Nick? I mean, but he Dan Bailey

248
00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:52,480
Speaker 1: was great. Dan Bailey was seven of seven last year

249
00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:55,000
Speaker 1: before he got hurt. Are we not forgetting that he

250
00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:57,959
Speaker 1: got hurt? Dan Bailey was never as great at what

251
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:00,640
Speaker 1: he does as Odell Beckham is what he That is

252
00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:03,920
Speaker 1: an absolute false statement. That is a false statement. Okay,

253
00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:06,400
Speaker 1: he's not going to lead Sports Center with the top

254
00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:08,320
Speaker 1: ten with a field goal. I get it, being the

255
00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:11,520
Speaker 1: best wide receiver is more lucrative, but Dan Bailey was

256
00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:13,920
Speaker 1: literally the best to ever do it in his possession

257
00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:17,040
Speaker 1: in the NFL. Has was Dan Bailey the best last

258
00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:20,959
Speaker 1: year or the year before? Yeah? In the NFL at kicking, well,

259
00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:23,400
Speaker 1: he was the best kicker. Guy over here saying he

260
00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:25,160
Speaker 1: was seven to seven before he got hurt, so he

261
00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:27,440
Speaker 1: was doing pretty damn well. And he was the best

262
00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:29,640
Speaker 1: kicker in the NFL. Yes, last year in the NFL,

263
00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:31,840
Speaker 1: in the year before, in the history of the NFL,

264
00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:34,600
Speaker 1: he was the number one kicker before he got hurt.

265
00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:37,280
Speaker 1: Number two on the Tucker had held to number It

266
00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:39,640
Speaker 1: fell to number two because of because Tucker had a

267
00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:41,880
Speaker 1: good year, and and I get it, a lot of

268
00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:44,360
Speaker 1: those guys are right there that are all active players.

269
00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:48,679
Speaker 1: I mean, I get it. But I'm just saying, just

270
00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:50,640
Speaker 1: be just be careful when you come back and you

271
00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:53,760
Speaker 1: play it, because because bad tape is bad tape, and

272
00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:56,080
Speaker 1: it doesn't seem people don't seem to really. Uh, he

273
00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:57,960
Speaker 1: was kind of playing through an injury to their To

274
00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:00,240
Speaker 1: their credit, the Cowboys give to Marcus Lauren. It's a

275
00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:02,840
Speaker 1: ton of credit for gutting through injuries in twenty sixteen,

276
00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:04,880
Speaker 1: But that could be part of the reason why he

277
00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:07,680
Speaker 1: doesn't have a deal right now too, if he I mean, yeah,

278
00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:09,559
Speaker 1: and oh you believe, you best believe when it time

279
00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:12,160
Speaker 1: comes time to have negotiations on a contract, if you're

280
00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:14,760
Speaker 1: a guy that's been hurt, that's gonna come up because

281
00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:17,079
Speaker 1: that helps you drive the Probably think any fan cares

282
00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:20,240
Speaker 1: that Tyrone Crawford was battling through a rotator cuff injury. No,

283
00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:22,319
Speaker 1: they just like, he makes this amount of money and

284
00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:24,760
Speaker 1: he only got four sacks, Like what's the problem? Which

285
00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:26,960
Speaker 1: this goes back to my point in the long run

286
00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:30,880
Speaker 1: that I just would we would have heard something, somebody

287
00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:35,040
Speaker 1: would have said something between December and July. If this

288
00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:39,120
Speaker 1: was like again Dez Bryant was a long discussion and

289
00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:41,880
Speaker 1: the writing was the writing was in ten foot letters

290
00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:44,440
Speaker 1: all over the wall. You could not be surprised by that. Yeah,

291
00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:48,440
Speaker 1: Dan Bailey, this is my opinion. I don't have This

292
00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:50,880
Speaker 1: is I'm not backed up by any fact, but I

293
00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:53,000
Speaker 1: think they kind of just got to a point in

294
00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:55,360
Speaker 1: like mid August where they were like, we're gonna save

295
00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:56,920
Speaker 1: some money and we don't have to worry about this

296
00:13:56,960 --> 00:13:59,680
Speaker 1: guy's back. Let's just get yeah, just yank this, get

297
00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:02,320
Speaker 1: this were with and I think the fifty seven yarder

298
00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:04,679
Speaker 1: got him there. And I really do believe. I think

299
00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:06,800
Speaker 1: that's a crappy way to treat a guy who's been

300
00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:09,439
Speaker 1: I know it's a business, I know, I know, I

301
00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:12,600
Speaker 1: don't care. I still think it's crappy. Tell him ahead

302
00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:16,080
Speaker 1: of time that I mean, he needs to do well whatever,

303
00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:17,920
Speaker 1: like no, no, give him some chances in the preseas.

304
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:20,000
Speaker 1: That's my point. That's my point. I think that, like

305
00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:22,440
Speaker 1: you said, they got to late mid late August and

306
00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:25,040
Speaker 1: they were like, h I don't know this, this guy

307
00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:28,640
Speaker 1: might be as good as Dan Bailey. And then the

308
00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:31,040
Speaker 1: fifty seven yarder happened, and I think that's when the

309
00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:34,560
Speaker 1: serious conversation started. I think it was a situation where like, man,

310
00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:37,280
Speaker 1: this guy can kick because I had heard, I had

311
00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:38,960
Speaker 1: heard that there were some people around here who are

312
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:41,880
Speaker 1: already saying this guy is a really, really good kicker,

313
00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:44,360
Speaker 1: and we don't we don't like, we don't love the

314
00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:46,800
Speaker 1: idea that eventually he's that he's going to be kicked

315
00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:49,720
Speaker 1: off out of this place in favor of Dan Bailey,

316
00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:52,200
Speaker 1: because we feel like he's a good kicker. So I

317
00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:54,760
Speaker 1: just think that after that fifty seven yarder, I think

318
00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:57,360
Speaker 1: they that's when it really got into hyper gear, Like

319
00:14:57,560 --> 00:14:59,280
Speaker 1: more people are starting to stand on the table, like

320
00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:02,320
Speaker 1: why would we live this guy go when we already

321
00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:04,520
Speaker 1: have concerns to some degree about Dan. You know what,

322
00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:06,280
Speaker 1: I'm tired of this. I'm just gonna go talk to

323
00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:09,280
Speaker 1: Stephen right now. I want to figure out what's happening here.

324
00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:11,640
Speaker 1: Do it? Go ask him? Go do that. Actually, Nick

325
00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:13,360
Speaker 1: does have an interview with Stephen. Gents, we'll see what

326
00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:14,920
Speaker 1: he comes away from that with. We're gonna take our

327
00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:16,880
Speaker 1: first break when we come back. We do have a

328
00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:18,560
Speaker 1: lot of other topics that we want to hit. A

329
00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:21,480
Speaker 1: couple other things with regard to some transactions, some players

330
00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:24,360
Speaker 1: who've been moved around in different places, some who've been

331
00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:27,000
Speaker 1: signed back, and I want to talk about Travis Frederick

332
00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:29,320
Speaker 1: a little bit. There was a decision that was going

333
00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:32,480
Speaker 1: to be made as to whether Travis would be ird

334
00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:35,080
Speaker 1: that would keep him out for the first several weeks

335
00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:37,400
Speaker 1: of the season. They did not make that decision. I

336
00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:38,600
Speaker 1: want to talk to you about how do you guys

337
00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:40,920
Speaker 1: feel about that decision? When we come right back. This

381
00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:53,439
Speaker 1: three man roster that talks about Dan Bailey, which is

382
00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:57,320
Speaker 1: a surprise cut of this training camp and may have

383
00:17:57,440 --> 00:18:00,359
Speaker 1: been may have been the surprise cut around the NFL.

384
00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:02,200
Speaker 1: I can't think of another cut around the NFL that

385
00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:05,480
Speaker 1: I was really shocked by like this one, So I

386
00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:07,000
Speaker 1: think it was one that that definitely caught a lot

387
00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:09,320
Speaker 1: of people's attention. Dan did get an opportunity to go

388
00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:11,040
Speaker 1: and trial for the New York Jets. We'll see if

389
00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:12,760
Speaker 1: he actually gets the job. He's not been signed to

390
00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:15,720
Speaker 1: this point, but there's no doubt in my mind that

391
00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:18,120
Speaker 1: before this season has done, Dan Bailey will be kicking

392
00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:20,760
Speaker 1: on somebody's roster. He's just done too much his league

393
00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:22,560
Speaker 1: not to get a second opportunity, and I think for

394
00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:24,560
Speaker 1: kickers that's how it just goes. He's going to get

395
00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:27,160
Speaker 1: an opportunity again and hopefully he'll be healthy and ready

396
00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:29,160
Speaker 1: to go and we'll be able to resume his career.

397
00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:31,959
Speaker 1: Let's talk. We're about to move on. But you know,

398
00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:35,320
Speaker 1: I really hate that we didn't get a chance to

399
00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:37,760
Speaker 1: talk to him, and we don't get a chance to talk,

400
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:40,240
Speaker 1: not to say goodbye, but just to hear his side

401
00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:42,560
Speaker 1: of the story, you know, and kind of see his perspective.

402
00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:45,920
Speaker 1: But again not we don't get a chance to talk

403
00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:49,000
Speaker 1: to anybody that gets cut during this time. But it

404
00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:52,200
Speaker 1: just sucks. You know, you see him last time. I'm

405
00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:54,240
Speaker 1: not knowing that that was the last time you were

406
00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:56,240
Speaker 1: going to see him. That's the thing though, that I've

407
00:18:56,640 --> 00:18:58,360
Speaker 1: in the years I've been around here, That's the one

408
00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:01,199
Speaker 1: thing that I've grown to just kind of get used to,

409
00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:04,480
Speaker 1: and I still don't like it. It's like things change

410
00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:07,520
Speaker 1: so rapidly in the NFL, especially when you get to

411
00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:11,400
Speaker 1: the offseason. I've seen everybody from Emmett Smith to Dion

412
00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:15,480
Speaker 1: Sanders all the way to DeMarcus Ware and Tony Roman.

413
00:19:15,520 --> 00:19:18,400
Speaker 1: I've seen all these guys leave, and when they leave,

414
00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:20,680
Speaker 1: it's just just like that. I was telling somebody and

415
00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:23,600
Speaker 1: maybe you Dave back. During training camp the first day,

416
00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:26,400
Speaker 1: you felt a little bit weird that Jason Witten wasn't there.

417
00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:29,439
Speaker 1: By a weekend, you had completely forgotten about him as

418
00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:31,760
Speaker 1: a part of what this current team is, and it's

419
00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:34,119
Speaker 1: just that's how the NFL is. It moves on, and

420
00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:36,240
Speaker 1: I don't care how big a player you are. I

421
00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:38,080
Speaker 1: don't care how small a player you are. It is

422
00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:42,360
Speaker 1: exactly the same because once you're gone, the building forgets

423
00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:44,959
Speaker 1: and they move on to whoever's in the building playing football.

424
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:47,199
Speaker 1: From them, You are one hundred percent right. Everything you

425
00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:49,480
Speaker 1: just said is correct, but it leaves a really bad

426
00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:53,600
Speaker 1: taste in my mouth when very accomplished players are treated unceremoniously.

427
00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:55,960
Speaker 1: That's what happened. It does. It happened to Dan Bailey,

428
00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:59,680
Speaker 1: and it's just a reminder players and players don't listen

429
00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:01,440
Speaker 1: to this. But if they did, they don't. You don't

430
00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:03,800
Speaker 1: own this team anything. Don't forget that. Don't forget the

431
00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:06,439
Speaker 1: way they're going to treat you. And for fans listening

432
00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:09,240
Speaker 1: at home, if DeMarcus Lawrence, just if he was sitting

433
00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:11,480
Speaker 1: out right now, I would not blame him one bit.

434
00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:14,720
Speaker 1: Yes I would not, because it's it's a cutthroat league

435
00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:16,239
Speaker 1: and you got to look out for yourself and that

436
00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:20,520
Speaker 1: doesn't jibe with the team first mentality. That only works

437
00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:22,480
Speaker 1: for you when it's in your favor. But as soon

438
00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:24,600
Speaker 1: as you can help the team, they don't care about you,

439
00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:26,760
Speaker 1: and you go, yeah. That's why I always take the

440
00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:29,280
Speaker 1: player's side in these things. I think it's two things.

441
00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:32,040
Speaker 1: I think it is team first. When you're on the field,

442
00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:34,520
Speaker 1: when you're practicing, when you're playing, you should always be

443
00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:36,520
Speaker 1: looking out for your teammates. When it comes to the

444
00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:39,359
Speaker 1: business of the NFL, you are your own business. You

445
00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:42,480
Speaker 1: are an independent contract. You are your own business. It

446
00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:44,600
Speaker 1: is your responsibility to look out for what's best for

447
00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:48,080
Speaker 1: you as a player first, for you and your family first,

448
00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:50,439
Speaker 1: and then figure out how that affects the team. But

449
00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:54,360
Speaker 1: you're right, but these teams, these teams will were disappointed

450
00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:56,919
Speaker 1: that Levion Bell can't be here to help his teammate

451
00:20:57,000 --> 00:21:00,360
Speaker 1: get out of here. I'll never never, I'll never feel

452
00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:02,360
Speaker 1: like that. I always feel like when it comes down

453
00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:05,240
Speaker 1: to it, because again, these contracts are not guaranteed. So

454
00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:07,600
Speaker 1: I think players have every right to do what's best

455
00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:09,679
Speaker 1: for them from a business stamp. Once they're in the building,

456
00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:11,720
Speaker 1: it should be all team. They should be looking out

457
00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:13,159
Speaker 1: for their team because that's the only way you can

458
00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:15,240
Speaker 1: get success, because if you rely on your teammate and

459
00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:17,120
Speaker 1: your teammates can't rely on you. But when it comes

460
00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:19,200
Speaker 1: to the business of the NFL, just like the teams

461
00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:21,119
Speaker 1: look out for themselves. It's no different than all of

462
00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:23,399
Speaker 1: us in our everyday jobs as well. You know, at

463
00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:26,280
Speaker 1: the end of the day, and employer's responsibility is to

464
00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:29,159
Speaker 1: create a good business that makes money, right. It is

465
00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:32,120
Speaker 1: not to make sure you're taking care of and you're comfortable, right,

466
00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:34,440
Speaker 1: So think about that and make decisions that are best

467
00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:37,000
Speaker 1: for you and your family that fit into the concept

468
00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:38,760
Speaker 1: of the company that you work for. It is not

469
00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:41,560
Speaker 1: one of those things where they're gonna always be loyal

470
00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:43,720
Speaker 1: to you because they're ultimately going to make the best

471
00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:46,440
Speaker 1: decision for their business. Correct. All right, So let's move on.

472
00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:49,360
Speaker 1: Let's talk a little bit about the couple of transactions

473
00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:51,000
Speaker 1: that have happened here over the last couple of days.

474
00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:55,159
Speaker 1: Noah Brown initially was placed on the active roster. He

475
00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:57,040
Speaker 1: has now been moved to IR and they have now

476
00:21:57,200 --> 00:22:01,120
Speaker 1: taken that spot and signed Deontay Thompson. I don't think

477
00:22:01,119 --> 00:22:03,040
Speaker 1: there's much of a surprise here, Dave. It seems like

478
00:22:03,040 --> 00:22:04,840
Speaker 1: back during training camp you were talking a lot about

479
00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:05,920
Speaker 1: I think you were one of the people that say

480
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:08,080
Speaker 1: Dante should make this team. This was a way to

481
00:22:08,119 --> 00:22:09,879
Speaker 1: get him onto the team. He didn't get signed by

482
00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:12,320
Speaker 1: anyone while he was cut, so it were it's actually,

483
00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:14,960
Speaker 1: I mean, speaking of looking out for your own best interest,

484
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:18,400
Speaker 1: it's a pretty genius way of roster maneuvering. I mean,

485
00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:20,840
Speaker 1: Cowboys aren't the only team that does this. But if

486
00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:23,720
Speaker 1: you cut Noah Brown on Saturday, he goes through waivers,

487
00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:25,840
Speaker 1: you might not get him back. So you keep him

488
00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:28,520
Speaker 1: on the roster. You cut the vested veteran and say,

489
00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:32,280
Speaker 1: Deontay hang here at the Omnian Frisco for thirty six hours.

490
00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:35,000
Speaker 1: We're gonna put Noah on IR so we can potentially

491
00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:36,880
Speaker 1: bring him back and we don't have to risk losing

492
00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:39,000
Speaker 1: him to another team. And as soon as we do that,

493
00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:41,119
Speaker 1: we'll sign you back. You'd be good to go. It's

494
00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:45,000
Speaker 1: common maneuvering, but I love that fun little you know.

495
00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:47,199
Speaker 1: It's the jigsaw of how to make everything work and

496
00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:50,120
Speaker 1: work in your favor. So let's talk about a couple

497
00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:53,359
Speaker 1: of other transactions. Darius Jackson, so on the Cowboys practice

498
00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:56,040
Speaker 1: squad got signed away by the Green Bay Packers. Good

499
00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:57,840
Speaker 1: for him, which I was saying to you guys in

500
00:22:57,920 --> 00:23:00,359
Speaker 1: the break. You look at all the gay at the

501
00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:03,040
Speaker 1: Cowboys cut that we were all kind of handwringing over

502
00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:04,879
Speaker 1: and who's gonna, you know, who should they cut? Is is

503
00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:07,960
Speaker 1: is a hard decision, I think, and I maybe I

504
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:09,520
Speaker 1: may be wrong in this. I think there was only

505
00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:11,720
Speaker 1: one that got signed by another team, and that was

506
00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:14,480
Speaker 1: Darius Jackson to the Three Bay Packers. And to me

507
00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:18,880
Speaker 1: probably rightfully so um outside of maybe my pick ked

508
00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:22,320
Speaker 1: Brian Price, but I think, well he's gone to You're right,

509
00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:23,960
Speaker 1: he's gone, but he hasn't been signed, right, I don't

510
00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:26,200
Speaker 1: think he was. He was claimed by the Oakland Raiders. Okay,

511
00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:29,120
Speaker 1: so he did get claimed. That's so. Actually I wrote

512
00:23:29,119 --> 00:23:32,280
Speaker 1: about this yesterday. Cat maneuvering it worked out well in

513
00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:34,800
Speaker 1: the Noah Brown instance, you hold on to Deontay Thompson.

514
00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:39,359
Speaker 1: But basically they were going, I mean, Dayton Jones is

515
00:23:39,359 --> 00:23:40,960
Speaker 1: gonna go to I R. And they were gonna do

516
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:42,360
Speaker 1: the same thing and say, well, we want to bring

517
00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:45,160
Speaker 1: Daytone back, so we got to keep him. Brian, We're

518
00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:47,080
Speaker 1: gonna cut you, You're gonna go through waivers and we're

519
00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:50,200
Speaker 1: gonna bring you back. Oakland had better had other ideas,

520
00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:53,359
Speaker 1: and now Brian Prices in Oakland Raider. That's the costa,

521
00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:55,560
Speaker 1: that's I mean, you take that risk, and that's why

522
00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:57,239
Speaker 1: they didn't want to do it with Noah Brown, right.

523
00:23:57,280 --> 00:24:00,600
Speaker 1: But those two players, Darius Jackson, Brian Ice or two

524
00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:03,119
Speaker 1: players I think showed a lot in the preseason, and

525
00:24:03,119 --> 00:24:05,280
Speaker 1: really Brian Price going back to last year, this was

526
00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:08,439
Speaker 1: not just about the preseason for him, and both of

527
00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:11,280
Speaker 1: them end up on other teams. But that's the thing,

528
00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:13,440
Speaker 1: and this is another thing we talked about in the break.

529
00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:16,600
Speaker 1: Every team has guys that are on the bubble for

530
00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:18,359
Speaker 1: them during training camp that they're like, this is gonna

531
00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:19,520
Speaker 1: be hard to cut this guy. I don't know if

532
00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:21,639
Speaker 1: we can get him back. And just as in the

533
00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:26,840
Speaker 1: case of Lance Lenore and Charles Tapper, Cowboys found that

534
00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:29,040
Speaker 1: you put him out there by cutting them, they still

535
00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:30,520
Speaker 1: were available to him to make them a part of

536
00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:33,320
Speaker 1: their practice squad. They were literally I think, I mean

537
00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:35,640
Speaker 1: there are more than a thousand cuts over the course

538
00:24:35,680 --> 00:24:38,560
Speaker 1: of the weekend, and I think forty guys got claimed

539
00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:41,320
Speaker 1: across the league. So I mean, once you get to

540
00:24:41,320 --> 00:24:43,600
Speaker 1: a certain point on the roster, everybody's got guys that

541
00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:47,240
Speaker 1: fit that profile, and teams prefer to hold on to

542
00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:49,280
Speaker 1: their guys because they know the system and they don't

543
00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:51,280
Speaker 1: have to teach him something new. So unless you think

544
00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:55,560
Speaker 1: you can drastically upgrade, which I'm excited for Darius, I

545
00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:59,280
Speaker 1: don't know if he's gonna go anywhere. But Aaron Jones

546
00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:02,400
Speaker 1: is suspended Green Bay. Jamal Williams is a second year guy,

547
00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:05,159
Speaker 1: and Time Montgomery's a wide receiver playing running back. So

548
00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:07,400
Speaker 1: although he plays it pretty well, I'm not you're right,

549
00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:10,800
Speaker 1: but there it should be opportunity there for Darius Jackson

550
00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:12,840
Speaker 1: to maybe do something. I hope. I hope for him,

551
00:25:12,920 --> 00:25:15,240
Speaker 1: so doubt. All right, let's talk up a little bit

552
00:25:15,280 --> 00:25:19,080
Speaker 1: about Travis Frederick. Travis Frederick was a guy that going

553
00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:22,160
Speaker 1: into cuts, there was a thought that the Cowboys could

554
00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:25,159
Speaker 1: possibly decide to hold on obviously put him on the

555
00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:27,040
Speaker 1: fifty three man roster because they don't want to risk

556
00:25:27,080 --> 00:25:30,240
Speaker 1: cutting him obviously, but what they might do is at

557
00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:33,639
Speaker 1: some point move him to IR because of the rules

558
00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:36,600
Speaker 1: that now they could bring him back after eight weeks

559
00:25:36,119 --> 00:25:39,880
Speaker 1: or eight weeks, that would give them the ability basically

560
00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:41,639
Speaker 1: to give him half a year to be able to

561
00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:43,840
Speaker 1: get right and then they could possibly bring him back.

562
00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:46,720
Speaker 1: They did not make that decision. They have kept him

563
00:25:46,720 --> 00:25:49,200
Speaker 1: on the active roster for now. Does that make you, guys,

564
00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:51,919
Speaker 1: feel better about the situation and what you think is

565
00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:55,040
Speaker 1: his status or prognosis is I think it makes me

566
00:25:55,080 --> 00:25:58,160
Speaker 1: feel worse, to be honest, really, yes, Why well, I'm

567
00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:00,880
Speaker 1: a natural pessimist, you know that. But here's the thing.

568
00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:04,600
Speaker 1: They kept him on the fifty three, which suggests optimism,

569
00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:07,880
Speaker 1: But at the same time they say, we don't know, like,

570
00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:10,000
Speaker 1: we don't have a timetable. We're not even worried about

571
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:13,520
Speaker 1: that yet. It's we're worried about Travis's health and we'll

572
00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:16,320
Speaker 1: deal with that when it comes. But all the reports

573
00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:19,320
Speaker 1: have been positive. That's awesome, And I care way more

574
00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:21,239
Speaker 1: about Travis's health as a person than I do as

575
00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:25,120
Speaker 1: a player. The Cowboys have Joe Looney, they claimed Alex Redmond,

576
00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:27,520
Speaker 1: who can play center, so I feel good that they

577
00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:30,760
Speaker 1: can handle the physical aspect of this without Travis. But

578
00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:34,760
Speaker 1: I'm just thinking, Okay, what if this changes. You don't

579
00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:36,720
Speaker 1: know enough to know when he's coming back. What if

580
00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:40,320
Speaker 1: three weeks from now, four weeks from now, you realize

581
00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:44,240
Speaker 1: now maybe the optimism wasn't well founded, and then you

582
00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:47,720
Speaker 1: put him on IR now he's gone until December probably,

583
00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:51,119
Speaker 1: whereas if you just did it Sunday, you know, you

584
00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:54,720
Speaker 1: don't even worry about it until whatever mid October and

585
00:26:54,800 --> 00:26:57,040
Speaker 1: then you can make your best decision from there. So

586
00:26:57,640 --> 00:27:00,920
Speaker 1: with so many unknowns, I think i'd rather or just hey,

587
00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:03,320
Speaker 1: take two months and we'll bring you back if we can,

588
00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:07,680
Speaker 1: and if not, that's fine. Now you're gambling on getting

589
00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:10,159
Speaker 1: him back, you don't have the extra roster spot, and

590
00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:11,879
Speaker 1: if it doesn't work out the way you want it to,

591
00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:13,800
Speaker 1: you lose him for even longer. But are you missing

592
00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:17,000
Speaker 1: anything with that extra roster spot? Was Brian Price your

593
00:27:17,119 --> 00:27:19,480
Speaker 1: example of where you could have used that roster spot?

594
00:27:19,520 --> 00:27:22,640
Speaker 1: Brian Price could have played on Sunday and Travis Frederick cannot.

595
00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:25,280
Speaker 1: So I mean, I I'm not saying it's definitely the

596
00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:28,320
Speaker 1: wrong move. And to your point, like the fifty third guy,

597
00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:31,280
Speaker 1: is he really He's probably not going to address I understand,

598
00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:34,679
Speaker 1: but it just it worries me when you're dealing with

599
00:27:34,680 --> 00:27:36,920
Speaker 1: so many unknowns. That's I don't even feel one hundred

600
00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:39,760
Speaker 1: percent comfortable talking about it because it's such a unique situation.

601
00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:43,480
Speaker 1: And I hope that he's healthy more so than I

602
00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:47,879
Speaker 1: hope he can play football. So I just I almost

603
00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:49,920
Speaker 1: wish that they were just like, you know what, some

604
00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:52,639
Speaker 1: things are more important. Let's just let's just stash you

605
00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:54,680
Speaker 1: for two months and worry about it and we'll see

606
00:27:54,720 --> 00:27:56,560
Speaker 1: where you are. You know, never give me some optimism.

607
00:27:56,760 --> 00:28:01,520
Speaker 1: I wish I could. No, I don't feel good about this,

608
00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:07,280
Speaker 1: this decision. And here's why his condition it is. And

609
00:28:07,320 --> 00:28:10,000
Speaker 1: I'm sure they know way more than we do. But

610
00:28:10,040 --> 00:28:13,480
Speaker 1: at the same time, from what I from my understanding,

611
00:28:13,640 --> 00:28:17,400
Speaker 1: this type of condition, it's very hard to determine how

612
00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:20,040
Speaker 1: long you're gonna be out for or all that. So

613
00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:22,240
Speaker 1: I'm assuming it's kind of you take it day by

614
00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:26,639
Speaker 1: day by day or week by week. Therefore, why not

615
00:28:26,880 --> 00:28:31,080
Speaker 1: use that spot for something else where? The Cowboys they

616
00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:33,600
Speaker 1: have plenty of spots that are in need. And what

617
00:28:33,760 --> 00:28:36,960
Speaker 1: worries me is that sometimes the Cowboys are a little

618
00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:41,680
Speaker 1: too optimistic in a way. You know, they think it's

619
00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:44,680
Speaker 1: it's just gonna work out. And I keep going back

620
00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:50,280
Speaker 1: to Tyren Smith situation, where again, we all knew his

621
00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:53,160
Speaker 1: back problems, we all knew where he was standing, and

622
00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:57,360
Speaker 1: still you didn't really work on getting that backup spot

623
00:28:57,560 --> 00:29:02,480
Speaker 1: ready and making sure you were well equipped for if

624
00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:05,400
Speaker 1: whatever happened when he came out, you were able to

625
00:29:05,480 --> 00:29:07,640
Speaker 1: go on with it. And I think I see this

626
00:29:07,800 --> 00:29:11,440
Speaker 1: kind of it's a different scenario, But I don't know

627
00:29:11,480 --> 00:29:14,240
Speaker 1: if I'm making sense right now. If you know, my

628
00:29:14,640 --> 00:29:17,240
Speaker 1: point of view is I think that sometimes they're a

629
00:29:17,280 --> 00:29:20,520
Speaker 1: little too optimistic with certain things, and then some other

630
00:29:20,560 --> 00:29:23,920
Speaker 1: things they're they're not as optimistic. So it's just it's

631
00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:26,360
Speaker 1: just weird. I don't understand. I get he's your best player,

632
00:29:26,680 --> 00:29:28,560
Speaker 1: one of your best players, and you want to have

633
00:29:28,640 --> 00:29:30,280
Speaker 1: him on the field when you can and all that,

634
00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:32,840
Speaker 1: But as of right now, looking at everything they've said,

635
00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:35,680
Speaker 1: why not just get let him be out for eight

636
00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:39,640
Speaker 1: weeks and even then if you know if he's ready

637
00:29:39,640 --> 00:29:42,200
Speaker 1: to come back, great, But if it's not, I'll boil

638
00:29:42,240 --> 00:29:45,280
Speaker 1: it down really simplistically for you, just yes or no.

639
00:29:45,440 --> 00:29:48,200
Speaker 1: What do you think is more likely that Travis Frederick

640
00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:51,680
Speaker 1: makes this incredibly remarkable recovery and is in the lineup

641
00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:55,760
Speaker 1: week five when the Cowboys go to Houston, or Travis Frederick,

642
00:29:56,120 --> 00:29:59,080
Speaker 1: if he can do anything, is back doing football stuff

643
00:29:59,480 --> 00:30:01,720
Speaker 1: Thanksgiving in December. Well that was the reason I asked

644
00:30:01,760 --> 00:30:05,640
Speaker 1: the question. Is My thought was if they made this decision.

645
00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:08,720
Speaker 1: They probably know more than days you're right publicly or

646
00:30:08,840 --> 00:30:11,080
Speaker 1: said to us right, because the thing about it is,

647
00:30:11,520 --> 00:30:13,720
Speaker 1: I don't think you just make this decision unless you

648
00:30:13,800 --> 00:30:17,360
Speaker 1: have reason to believe that he has a legitimate shot

649
00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:20,160
Speaker 1: to be back before that eight week period is up

650
00:30:20,200 --> 00:30:23,480
Speaker 1: to be fair, and what they say publicly, that's one

651
00:30:23,480 --> 00:30:26,440
Speaker 1: thing we know from what we've seen over the years,

652
00:30:26,760 --> 00:30:29,800
Speaker 1: you don't always say publicly what is fully known. On

653
00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:33,400
Speaker 1: trust that they know more than I do. But again,

654
00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:35,280
Speaker 1: I can only go with the information I have, which

655
00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:38,280
Speaker 1: is two weeks after he got diagnosed, they're still saying

656
00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:41,920
Speaker 1: no timetable. We're way more worried about his health as

657
00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:44,600
Speaker 1: a person than anything relating to football. It doesn't sound

658
00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:46,160
Speaker 1: like a guy who's gonna be ready to play football

659
00:30:46,160 --> 00:30:48,880
Speaker 1: in four or five weeks. But that's also I mean,

660
00:30:49,080 --> 00:30:52,360
Speaker 1: you have to keep saying that because again, the unpredictable

661
00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:55,720
Speaker 1: nature of this injury or this this disease, this syndrome,

662
00:30:55,800 --> 00:30:59,000
Speaker 1: whatever it is, it's unpredictable. And so even if they

663
00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:02,280
Speaker 1: feel like they've gotten good reports that suggest otherwise, they

664
00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:05,280
Speaker 1: have to keep publicly saying we don't know they got

665
00:31:06,320 --> 00:31:08,360
Speaker 1: when we were in ox. Now California. It was like,

666
00:31:08,360 --> 00:31:11,480
Speaker 1: oh yeah, everything came out, came back good, We're good

667
00:31:11,520 --> 00:31:14,520
Speaker 1: to go, blah blah. Then comed back to Dallas, still

668
00:31:14,600 --> 00:31:17,400
Speaker 1: not practicing, and he gets more stuff and it's like,

669
00:31:17,440 --> 00:31:20,720
Speaker 1: come to find out he's diagnosed with this decease. But

670
00:31:20,840 --> 00:31:23,200
Speaker 1: once again, I don't believe in this is my own

671
00:31:23,200 --> 00:31:25,719
Speaker 1: personal belief. I don't believe they were saying publicly at

672
00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:27,960
Speaker 1: that time what they knew. What they were saying was

673
00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:31,240
Speaker 1: everything's fine because they didn't want to ring the alarm

674
00:31:31,320 --> 00:31:33,600
Speaker 1: until they knew more. Right, Yeah, they are, don't. You

675
00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:37,360
Speaker 1: can't convince me that they and Travis and everybody that

676
00:31:37,440 --> 00:31:39,600
Speaker 1: was in the inner circle didn't know that this was

677
00:31:39,680 --> 00:31:41,959
Speaker 1: more serious than just a stinger, right, you can't convince

678
00:31:41,960 --> 00:31:44,080
Speaker 1: me of that. So if that's the case, then once

679
00:31:44,120 --> 00:31:46,760
Speaker 1: again they said what they had to say publicly. But

680
00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:48,880
Speaker 1: that's that doesn't have anything to do with what's really happened.

681
00:31:48,920 --> 00:31:50,800
Speaker 1: You're one hundred percent right, because after all this happen,

682
00:31:50,760 --> 00:31:52,760
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, Zach was Zack Martin was even

683
00:31:52,800 --> 00:31:55,480
Speaker 1: talking like, yeah, like it was really scary at camp,

684
00:31:55,560 --> 00:31:57,280
Speaker 1: Like he was talking about, you know, how he didn't

685
00:31:57,280 --> 00:32:00,040
Speaker 1: feel as strong and blah, blah blah. So right. I

686
00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:02,880
Speaker 1: know that I don't know the whole story, but trying

687
00:32:02,920 --> 00:32:06,600
Speaker 1: to offer informed analysis as best I can, you only

688
00:32:06,640 --> 00:32:10,240
Speaker 1: go it doesn't sound like it's realistic to think he's

689
00:32:10,240 --> 00:32:13,920
Speaker 1: gonna be able to do meaningful things for you until

690
00:32:14,040 --> 00:32:17,360
Speaker 1: after the IR window anyway, And honestly, with all the

691
00:32:17,440 --> 00:32:20,320
Speaker 1: uncertainty and the fact it's an autoimmune disease. Again, it's

692
00:32:20,320 --> 00:32:22,840
Speaker 1: not as hamstring. He's got a disease in his nerves.

693
00:32:23,280 --> 00:32:26,440
Speaker 1: It just sounds scary, just it absolutely is. Honestly, I

694
00:32:26,520 --> 00:32:30,280
Speaker 1: just remove the temptation to worry about football and just say, hey,

695
00:32:30,360 --> 00:32:33,400
Speaker 1: we'll see you on Halloween. But that I mean, hey,

696
00:32:33,440 --> 00:32:35,280
Speaker 1: so we'll see. I don't know. Maybe maybe he's gonna

697
00:32:35,320 --> 00:32:38,080
Speaker 1: play Week four and I'll admit that I was wrong,

698
00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:40,800
Speaker 1: but and we'll see. I don't know. Let's take our

699
00:32:40,800 --> 00:32:42,640
Speaker 1: final break. When we come back, we do have to

742
00:34:51,080 --> 00:34:53,719
Speaker 1: from the s WBC Morgat Studios. At the start, Nick's

743
00:34:53,760 --> 00:34:57,640
Speaker 1: back with us. Hi got anything good from Stephen? I'm

744
00:34:57,840 --> 00:35:01,480
Speaker 1: you know. I asked if there was a trade in

745
00:35:01,520 --> 00:35:04,840
Speaker 1: the you know, he said no, not right now, and

746
00:35:04,880 --> 00:35:07,719
Speaker 1: now stop asking me. I did. I did ask if

747
00:35:07,960 --> 00:35:10,120
Speaker 1: Karen Reid would be the guy that they're gonna bring

748
00:35:10,160 --> 00:35:13,879
Speaker 1: best since Brian Price was not um he was picked

749
00:35:13,960 --> 00:35:16,719
Speaker 1: up and claimed by the Raiders. Um, And he said no,

750
00:35:16,920 --> 00:35:21,479
Speaker 1: that they're gonna keep Daytone Jones on the roster. He's

751
00:35:21,480 --> 00:35:26,000
Speaker 1: been growing. Injury for him, I believe, so hamstring, Um,

752
00:35:26,239 --> 00:35:29,520
Speaker 1: he's been yeah, but they feel like he's making progress

753
00:35:29,560 --> 00:35:32,040
Speaker 1: to the point where he'll probably be able to play,

754
00:35:32,200 --> 00:35:34,520
Speaker 1: maybe as soon as the second game against the Giants.

755
00:35:34,560 --> 00:35:37,840
Speaker 1: So um it's a game of the season again, not

756
00:35:37,880 --> 00:35:40,600
Speaker 1: the second game against the Giants, but um, just week

757
00:35:40,640 --> 00:35:42,840
Speaker 1: two of the season. So it looks like Dayton Jones

758
00:35:42,880 --> 00:35:44,520
Speaker 1: and Frederick are going to be your two guys that

759
00:35:44,600 --> 00:35:47,080
Speaker 1: stay on the roster. Say that's they were gonna put

760
00:35:47,120 --> 00:35:49,319
Speaker 1: him on IR yesterday when they thought they'd get Brian

761
00:35:49,360 --> 00:35:52,520
Speaker 1: Price back and they didn't. And I guess maybe they

762
00:35:52,560 --> 00:35:55,040
Speaker 1: just think the drop off is that noticeable, or maybe

763
00:35:55,080 --> 00:35:57,400
Speaker 1: they got a different report on his health. I don't know,

764
00:35:57,480 --> 00:35:59,560
Speaker 1: but I hope it's that because I mean, why would

765
00:35:59,560 --> 00:36:03,040
Speaker 1: you even cut Price in them begin with that's yeah,

766
00:36:03,120 --> 00:36:04,799
Speaker 1: so you know, I don't if you think you can

767
00:36:04,840 --> 00:36:06,560
Speaker 1: be there for week two, I'd say it's worth it.

768
00:36:06,600 --> 00:36:09,040
Speaker 1: But so two of your fifty three, I mean we

769
00:36:09,080 --> 00:36:12,200
Speaker 1: got two of the enacted, we got three of the ENACTORAD.

770
00:36:12,600 --> 00:36:14,920
Speaker 1: But that just seems kind of that just seems weird.

771
00:36:16,280 --> 00:36:18,520
Speaker 1: It just seems weird. Like it's like, Okay, on Monday,

772
00:36:18,800 --> 00:36:22,160
Speaker 1: they're gonna bring back Price if he clears waivers, so

773
00:36:22,200 --> 00:36:25,879
Speaker 1: then they'll put Jones on. Why even do that on Sunday? Then?

774
00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:28,400
Speaker 1: Why don't you just put will you sign your guard

775
00:36:28,440 --> 00:36:30,759
Speaker 1: that you want to keep? You know? Redman just put

776
00:36:30,840 --> 00:36:33,680
Speaker 1: Jones on. They couldn't. They couldn't get them. Then that's right.

777
00:36:33,680 --> 00:36:36,040
Speaker 1: They couldn't put Jones on IR on Monday. I just

778
00:36:36,120 --> 00:36:39,400
Speaker 1: answered my question, Wait why not? Because on Sunday they

779
00:36:39,440 --> 00:36:41,160
Speaker 1: couldn't put him on IR on Sunday they had to

780
00:36:41,160 --> 00:36:43,880
Speaker 1: put him on Monday. I thought they I thought you

781
00:36:43,920 --> 00:36:46,160
Speaker 1: could do. Oh no, you're right, yeah, Oh God's never mind.

782
00:36:46,200 --> 00:36:48,640
Speaker 1: I just talked myself out of that. Okay, Sorry, I

783
00:36:48,680 --> 00:36:51,080
Speaker 1: get it. Thanks Steven. Well, Nick Joan just just in

784
00:36:51,120 --> 00:36:54,040
Speaker 1: time to talk about safety. It's a position we've talked

785
00:36:54,080 --> 00:36:57,120
Speaker 1: a lot about Um. I guess let's start first with

786
00:36:57,760 --> 00:37:01,400
Speaker 1: the signing that the Cowboys made. They signed, say Ibraheim

787
00:37:01,480 --> 00:37:04,239
Speaker 1: Campbell Um. And I don't know how much do you

788
00:37:04,239 --> 00:37:07,480
Speaker 1: guys know about Campbell, if anything about you know, is

789
00:37:07,480 --> 00:37:09,759
Speaker 1: he a special teams type player or is he got it?

790
00:37:10,080 --> 00:37:12,080
Speaker 1: That's a that's been a safety? Like, what what do

791
00:37:12,120 --> 00:37:14,759
Speaker 1: we know about about Campbell's played four or five has

792
00:37:14,800 --> 00:37:17,520
Speaker 1: played four years in the league. Again, I say, to

793
00:37:17,719 --> 00:37:19,880
Speaker 1: make this joke a lot, He's got the same amount

794
00:37:19,880 --> 00:37:23,040
Speaker 1: of interceptions as we do, doesn't have an interception, which

795
00:37:23,080 --> 00:37:26,279
Speaker 1: means he's probably a special teams type guy. I know.

796
00:37:26,520 --> 00:37:30,719
Speaker 1: Does have starts though, right, he's eleven. So that's eleven.

797
00:37:32,239 --> 00:37:34,319
Speaker 1: Was that last year or was that four years ago?

798
00:37:35,120 --> 00:37:37,959
Speaker 1: Early in his career earlier he's been a special teams guy.

799
00:37:38,239 --> 00:37:41,440
Speaker 1: He's got eleven more starts, eleven more starts than every

800
00:37:41,520 --> 00:37:44,959
Speaker 1: safety not named Jeff Heath, got it? So, I mean

801
00:37:45,480 --> 00:37:47,680
Speaker 1: so again, this is again, this is just a guy

802
00:37:47,800 --> 00:37:51,800
Speaker 1: that's a band aid temporarily until you can hopefully get

803
00:37:52,080 --> 00:37:55,480
Speaker 1: some healthy safeties back. It's it sounds like they're at

804
00:37:55,520 --> 00:37:58,759
Speaker 1: least optimistic that Cavon might be available for Carolina. I

805
00:37:58,800 --> 00:38:04,480
Speaker 1: think Xavier Woods is ruled out and so Robinson plays.

806
00:38:04,680 --> 00:38:07,680
Speaker 1: I think you're gonna patch it together between Tyree Robinson,

807
00:38:08,480 --> 00:38:12,160
Speaker 1: Ibrahim Campbell and hopefully Cavon Frasier. Hey, I know that

808
00:38:12,400 --> 00:38:15,960
Speaker 1: that there's people in this room that like what Cam

809
00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:19,719
Speaker 1: Newton does. I don't think he's a great passer. If

810
00:38:19,760 --> 00:38:22,239
Speaker 1: you're playing a better passer this week, would you would

811
00:38:22,239 --> 00:38:24,359
Speaker 1: you maybe change your mind on what you do, think

812
00:38:24,600 --> 00:38:26,680
Speaker 1: on how you do things, Like if this is Aaron Rodgers,

813
00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:29,239
Speaker 1: I mean at this point though, I mean, I know

814
00:38:29,480 --> 00:38:32,600
Speaker 1: theoretically you could go trade for Earl Thomas theoretically, but

815
00:38:32,719 --> 00:38:37,160
Speaker 1: realistically really meaning you're not just giving up the bank

816
00:38:37,280 --> 00:38:39,839
Speaker 1: or whatever you gotta do. Well, like, realistically, what more

817
00:38:39,880 --> 00:38:41,640
Speaker 1: could they do right now? Well? They I mean, but

818
00:38:41,719 --> 00:38:44,080
Speaker 1: the schedule hasn't changed. They'd known all along that they

819
00:38:44,080 --> 00:38:46,000
Speaker 1: were going to play Caroline in week one, and they

820
00:38:46,080 --> 00:38:48,000
Speaker 1: might have to not have his Xavier Wood. It might

821
00:38:48,040 --> 00:38:49,960
Speaker 1: have been different if there was somebody else, if you

822
00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:53,600
Speaker 1: had Giants week one, maybe that changed, right, wouldn't play

823
00:38:53,640 --> 00:38:56,480
Speaker 1: the Giants in Week one? That ever happened? How many?

824
00:38:56,840 --> 00:38:58,839
Speaker 1: How many quarterbacks on the schedule this year of one

825
00:38:58,920 --> 00:39:02,680
Speaker 1: NFL MVP, Matt Ryan, I am Newton, Okay, I knew

826
00:39:02,719 --> 00:39:04,520
Speaker 1: that you were gonna go here, and I get it. No,

827
00:39:04,640 --> 00:39:07,080
Speaker 1: he's not great. He's not the most accomplished passer in

828
00:39:07,120 --> 00:39:09,360
Speaker 1: the NFL. I get it. But like the most accomplished

829
00:39:09,400 --> 00:39:11,440
Speaker 1: runner in the NFL, and you got it for pointing

830
00:39:11,840 --> 00:39:14,239
Speaker 1: safeties wind up making those type of tackles too. That's

831
00:39:14,239 --> 00:39:15,920
Speaker 1: what I was actually gonna say is I'm I'm more

832
00:39:15,920 --> 00:39:19,000
Speaker 1: concerned about can they tackle in the open field when

833
00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:21,040
Speaker 1: they got him one on one? He's if he's back

834
00:39:21,040 --> 00:39:23,360
Speaker 1: at the safeties, you've got other issues going on and

835
00:39:23,560 --> 00:39:27,879
Speaker 1: our right, which you might. I mean, I just think

836
00:39:27,920 --> 00:39:30,359
Speaker 1: that you think about how this offense is, like they

837
00:39:30,480 --> 00:39:33,200
Speaker 1: got some playmakers on their offense. It's not just Cam.

838
00:39:33,400 --> 00:39:38,719
Speaker 1: I mean that that running back runs, So that may

839
00:39:38,760 --> 00:39:41,160
Speaker 1: be why you're where your linebackers are preoccupied, you know,

840
00:39:41,320 --> 00:39:44,680
Speaker 1: after him. I really don't, um. I know, I get

841
00:39:44,680 --> 00:39:46,720
Speaker 1: your point. I know what the stats say. Cam Newton

842
00:39:46,880 --> 00:39:50,840
Speaker 1: is not a great pure passer, But you're not gonna

843
00:39:50,920 --> 00:39:53,719
Speaker 1: hide a bad safety against an NFL MVP. I don't.

844
00:39:53,880 --> 00:39:56,000
Speaker 1: I don't think so. Either whether it's running or throwing,

845
00:39:56,080 --> 00:39:58,920
Speaker 1: you're not gonna hide well. And he's also got a

846
00:39:58,920 --> 00:40:00,920
Speaker 1: great tight end unless 's an injury or something that

847
00:40:01,239 --> 00:40:03,920
Speaker 1: he's got a pro Bowl tight end. McCaffrey looks like

848
00:40:03,920 --> 00:40:06,319
Speaker 1: a stud. I don't really know what DJ Moore has

849
00:40:06,320 --> 00:40:08,759
Speaker 1: been doing, but he's there. Tory Smith is this is

850
00:40:08,760 --> 00:40:11,799
Speaker 1: a pretty decent white Smith is there. I mean he

851
00:40:11,840 --> 00:40:16,480
Speaker 1: wasn't great for run. He can run run. Yeah, So,

852
00:40:16,560 --> 00:40:18,960
Speaker 1: I mean there's there's some things we'll talk about this tomorrow.

853
00:40:19,000 --> 00:40:21,480
Speaker 1: We're gonna get into the Panther's offense tomorrow. But are

854
00:40:21,520 --> 00:40:24,279
Speaker 1: we doing that where Dave's gonna have his his chart

855
00:40:24,360 --> 00:40:29,640
Speaker 1: and I hope so? Great? Okay, cool, Yeah, we're taking

856
00:40:29,680 --> 00:40:32,160
Speaker 1: the Panther's offense tomorrow. So get it ready, Dave, get

857
00:40:32,200 --> 00:40:34,080
Speaker 1: out the game past Thursday. You better be up till

858
00:40:34,080 --> 00:40:37,239
Speaker 1: midnight taking notes on the tape. That's that's the job, bro,

859
00:40:37,560 --> 00:40:40,560
Speaker 1: that's cool job. We got it cool all right? Um So,

860
00:40:40,560 --> 00:40:43,160
Speaker 1: so I guess at this point from the standpoint of

861
00:40:43,160 --> 00:40:45,560
Speaker 1: of the safeties, it's pretty apparent this is what they're

862
00:40:45,600 --> 00:40:48,120
Speaker 1: rolling into the season with. YEA, they feel comfortable with it.

863
00:40:48,280 --> 00:40:50,560
Speaker 1: Do we know anything more about Xavier Woods and and

864
00:40:51,080 --> 00:40:52,799
Speaker 1: is this just the one week thing or is this

865
00:40:52,840 --> 00:40:55,040
Speaker 1: something that Lingers even into the Giants game, where again,

866
00:40:55,320 --> 00:40:57,600
Speaker 1: I personally believe that you got a lot more challenges

867
00:40:57,600 --> 00:41:01,399
Speaker 1: when you start talking about the receiving threats in New York.

868
00:41:01,520 --> 00:41:04,239
Speaker 1: Let's wait and see kind of what practice looks like.

869
00:41:04,280 --> 00:41:05,879
Speaker 1: I'm I'm not saying he's going to be on there,

870
00:41:05,920 --> 00:41:08,439
Speaker 1: but what he's doing on the other fields. If he's

871
00:41:08,480 --> 00:41:11,320
Speaker 1: on the chords this week, if he's able to do that,

872
00:41:11,320 --> 00:41:14,200
Speaker 1: that's a better sign that we're getting closer to practicing.

873
00:41:14,239 --> 00:41:17,520
Speaker 1: Maybe this week you're making for next week. You're making

874
00:41:17,560 --> 00:41:19,600
Speaker 1: a mistake if you're trying to put a hard deadline

875
00:41:19,640 --> 00:41:23,480
Speaker 1: on a soft tissue injury, which Jerry Jones has said

876
00:41:23,520 --> 00:41:26,000
Speaker 1: that he thinks they think he can be ready for

877
00:41:26,120 --> 00:41:30,160
Speaker 1: New York. Jerry Jones is eternally optimistic, and you never know,

878
00:41:30,320 --> 00:41:33,000
Speaker 1: I mean hamstrings especially. We've seen that time and time again.

879
00:41:33,120 --> 00:41:36,400
Speaker 1: So take that with a huge grain of salt. I'm

880
00:41:36,440 --> 00:41:40,760
Speaker 1: waiting until like Thursday of week next week before I'm

881
00:41:40,800 --> 00:41:43,200
Speaker 1: making a call on Xavier Woods. There's one final question

882
00:41:43,239 --> 00:41:45,400
Speaker 1: I want to get to with you guys about the quarterbacks.

883
00:41:45,480 --> 00:41:50,160
Speaker 1: Cowboys kept both quarterbacks backup quarterbacks in Cooper Rushing Mike

884
00:41:50,200 --> 00:41:53,319
Speaker 1: White two quarterbacks that the Cowboys had a lot of

885
00:41:53,320 --> 00:41:55,719
Speaker 1: interest in we're trying to trade up for in the draft.

886
00:41:55,760 --> 00:41:57,839
Speaker 1: A couple of years ago. Paxton Lynch and Connor Cook

887
00:41:57,840 --> 00:42:01,319
Speaker 1: are both available after being cut. The Cowboys consider going

888
00:42:01,360 --> 00:42:04,040
Speaker 1: out and getting one of those guys to replace one

889
00:42:04,080 --> 00:42:06,879
Speaker 1: of the guys that they have here. I don't think so.

890
00:42:07,600 --> 00:42:12,200
Speaker 1: You know, they're available because their team gave up on them,

891
00:42:12,440 --> 00:42:14,839
Speaker 1: and you know, they had plenty of time to learn

892
00:42:14,920 --> 00:42:17,319
Speaker 1: the system and show what they can do, and they

893
00:42:17,360 --> 00:42:19,440
Speaker 1: showed what they couldn't do, And now you're going to

894
00:42:19,480 --> 00:42:21,920
Speaker 1: ask them to come in and probably I would imagine,

895
00:42:21,920 --> 00:42:24,400
Speaker 1: I don't know this. I would imagine learning the offense

896
00:42:24,520 --> 00:42:27,040
Speaker 1: was probably an issue for both of them, or they

897
00:42:27,040 --> 00:42:30,400
Speaker 1: wouldn't be you know, or if not, then their talent

898
00:42:30,480 --> 00:42:32,400
Speaker 1: isn't as good as they thought. So I think you

899
00:42:32,520 --> 00:42:34,000
Speaker 1: got a chance to see some of them. If you're

900
00:42:34,000 --> 00:42:36,440
Speaker 1: gonna put them here, are they going to be that

901
00:42:36,600 --> 00:42:40,399
Speaker 1: much better than what you have? I mean, I don't

902
00:42:40,440 --> 00:42:42,200
Speaker 1: think I would go that route, but just to play

903
00:42:42,239 --> 00:42:44,879
Speaker 1: Devil's advocate, at some point, the Cowboys were really willing

904
00:42:44,920 --> 00:42:47,359
Speaker 1: to give up a first round pick and more because

905
00:42:47,360 --> 00:42:49,320
Speaker 1: they were gonna have to trade up to get packs

906
00:42:49,360 --> 00:42:52,080
Speaker 1: to Lynch. Does that at least make you think even

907
00:42:52,120 --> 00:42:53,759
Speaker 1: if we brought him in as our third guy, a

908
00:42:53,760 --> 00:42:56,000
Speaker 1: guy that we're going to develop, we should give that

909
00:42:56,040 --> 00:42:58,279
Speaker 1: a shot because we thought so highly of him back then.

910
00:42:58,520 --> 00:43:01,279
Speaker 1: The only thing that depreciates faster than a car is

911
00:43:01,320 --> 00:43:04,000
Speaker 1: like a draft pick. I'm serious, Like, yeah, Jerry Jones

912
00:43:04,120 --> 00:43:06,360
Speaker 1: is killing himself for not giving up the third to

913
00:43:06,400 --> 00:43:09,239
Speaker 1: go up and get Packson Lynch. And now we don't

914
00:43:09,280 --> 00:43:11,120
Speaker 1: have to debate about this because Jerry already said this

915
00:43:11,160 --> 00:43:14,040
Speaker 1: morning they're not interested, which I wouldn't have claimed him.

916
00:43:14,640 --> 00:43:16,560
Speaker 1: But I don't see the harmon bringing them in for

917
00:43:16,600 --> 00:43:20,560
Speaker 1: a workout now that they're street. But they got Mike White,

918
00:43:20,600 --> 00:43:23,839
Speaker 1: who I mean, they valued him. He basically hasn't had

919
00:43:23,840 --> 00:43:25,919
Speaker 1: a chance to suck yet. I mean, I'm not saying

920
00:43:25,960 --> 00:43:27,759
Speaker 1: he will, but you get my point, Like there's more

921
00:43:27,800 --> 00:43:30,800
Speaker 1: reason to be optimistic with him than there is having

922
00:43:31,360 --> 00:43:36,040
Speaker 1: two years of Paxson Lynch tape. Teams talk too, they

923
00:43:36,080 --> 00:43:38,320
Speaker 1: talk to each other. Why'd you cut him well? Because

924
00:43:38,320 --> 00:43:40,440
Speaker 1: he does this and this, you know it doesn't do that.

925
00:43:40,640 --> 00:43:42,719
Speaker 1: Maybe he maybe this will humble both of them to

926
00:43:42,760 --> 00:43:45,200
Speaker 1: the point where like if there's some issues. Maybe if

927
00:43:45,440 --> 00:43:48,680
Speaker 1: if there's worth work ethic issues or you know, things

928
00:43:48,719 --> 00:43:51,719
Speaker 1: like that studying, maybe it'll humble them to the point

929
00:43:51,760 --> 00:43:53,920
Speaker 1: where they they'll get better, you know. But I don't

930
00:43:53,960 --> 00:43:56,360
Speaker 1: see the harmon bringing them in for a workout, especially

931
00:43:56,400 --> 00:43:59,280
Speaker 1: since in this particular case, both of them are guys

932
00:43:59,280 --> 00:44:02,160
Speaker 1: we know that they liked. But I don't think it's

933
00:44:02,200 --> 00:44:04,600
Speaker 1: this drastic and you're like, oh my god, these guys

934
00:44:04,600 --> 00:44:07,160
Speaker 1: are obviously so much better than Cooper Russian Mike quite clear,

935
00:44:07,239 --> 00:44:09,520
Speaker 1: I know I don't buy that, so I'm not losing

936
00:44:09,560 --> 00:44:11,920
Speaker 1: sleep over it. All right, we appreciate you guys joining us.

937
00:44:11,920 --> 00:44:14,239
Speaker 1: We're back tomorrow in our normal time. What'll be our

938
00:44:14,280 --> 00:44:16,520
Speaker 1: normal time for the season will be eleven forty five.

939
00:44:16,920 --> 00:44:18,640
Speaker 1: We'll be on every day from eleven forty five to

940
00:44:18,680 --> 00:44:20,400
Speaker 1: twelve thirty. I know it's only forty five minutes, but

941
00:44:20,440 --> 00:44:22,440
Speaker 1: we will get a lot into that forty five minutes.
