Speaker 1: media and night party and Nate, you were in there.
Speaker 1: When you go to that. Now, when you go to that,
Speaker 1: you official the media, and I don't want to become
Speaker 1: officially media. There were celebrities there. You want to just
Speaker 1: ride the line a little bit? Yeah, Man, I can't
Speaker 1: go all the way. Man, I cannot get all the way.
Speaker 1: So what what what you say with some seleb stuff?
Speaker 1: Who was there last night? Jerry Jones, Michael Irving. Oh,
Speaker 1: Mike Irving ain't missing nothing where he get a chance
Speaker 1: to shine. Believe that's a good point. Yeah, what was
Speaker 1: the other guy? I saw? Clarion's taking no junior show.
Speaker 1: Oh man, yeah, man, you missed out some on some
Speaker 1: really good food. Good of you, good people. Yeah, open
Speaker 1: bar drinking amosa. I can't do that one. So yeah. Wow,
Speaker 1: that's all that being said. We're actually doing well here today.
Speaker 1: There's been there's been some Next Day shows in the
Speaker 1: past that I have sucked. I've been doing enough Cowboys
Speaker 1: related parties in my time here that was tame. That
Speaker 1: was tamed by Cowboys standards. Yeah, so everyone behaved, everyone
Speaker 1: got out of there safely. So today, like I said,
Speaker 1: the Cowboys are the team is going to be traveling
Speaker 1: to San Francisco. They're gonna be playing tomorrow the first
Speaker 1: preseason game against the forty nine ers. First of all,
Speaker 1: I wanted to see, are we expecting to see the
Speaker 1: first team play? Good question. I think you're gonna see some.
Speaker 1: I mean some, that's the answer. Some um the line. Well,
Speaker 1: I honestly, I think it's gonna be first teamers, with
Speaker 1: the exception of guys who have rested at practice. So
Speaker 1: like I really doubt Aaron Smith, you won't see Tyrn Smith,
Speaker 1: Williams you, yes, you'll see Connor Williams, Travis Yes, at
Speaker 1: least for a series. Zeke. I let's say no on
Speaker 1: Travis if he's not gonna be in the scrimmage. I
Speaker 1: bet you will. I bet you'll see the entire first
Speaker 1: team minus Tyrant for a series. What about a tight end, Yes,
Speaker 1: everybody's got all receivers. Yes, Dak, Dak is the one.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I bet Dak gets like a series,
Speaker 1: whether it's three players or the ball left hand, the
Speaker 1: ball right screen pass here. No, Ezekiel Elliott, you're not
Speaker 1: gonna see twenty one? No win, I don't. I need
Speaker 1: to see Ezekiel Elliott for one series against the Cardinals
Speaker 1: in Week three. No, I need to see Ezekiel Elliott
Speaker 1: on September ninth in Carolina. We've had this year, we
Speaker 1: have gon Nate put In having key players like Ezekiel
Speaker 1: Elliott playing preseason game. No need for that. Yes, no,
Speaker 1: I mean if you go out, run out, doesn't get introduced,
Speaker 1: you know, third game and run back and don't play
Speaker 1: a snap. I'm good, Okay, certain guys, What what does it?
Speaker 1: What does it prove? And what does it? What does
Speaker 1: it do with Zeke playing? What does it do? I mean,
Speaker 1: does he's Zeke baby? He's Zeke, Baby, I'm gonna put
Speaker 1: that on T shirt. How many guys are that? Then?
Speaker 1: I mean, how many guys are like that? Zeke? That's it.
Speaker 1: He's gonna got on the team. For any anybody that's
Speaker 1: been to Approbram see the reason the quarterback may need
Speaker 1: a series or two in the in the third game.
Speaker 1: You know, even in this case, in Dak's case, he
Speaker 1: probably need to play the second game the third game
Speaker 1: because the environment and working with the new guys and so,
Speaker 1: you know, he he gets to work a little bit
Speaker 1: and get some get some get some true rhythm. But
Speaker 1: but Zeke, come ready, man, He's like, you know, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna disagree. I don't think so. I think he needs
Speaker 1: to play. Maybe actually I'm changing my stance. I think
Speaker 1: he needs to play two preseason games. Go let's go back.
Speaker 1: Let's go back and look at the first two games.
Speaker 1: The first two seasons of his career. He's not really
Speaker 1: been that good in the first first couple of games
Speaker 1: of the season. He has had some slow starts early
Speaker 1: in the seasons. Maybe he maybe we need to try
Speaker 1: something a little bit different with him. I don't think
Speaker 1: they've been giving him a lot of reps in those
Speaker 1: preseasons in the first two years. I'm not saying fifteen
Speaker 1: carries a game, but I think he needs to get
Speaker 1: a little bit of touches in those weeks two and three.
Speaker 1: Get out of there, and then would you guys want
Speaker 1: to see a guy like Sean Lee being thrown out there?
Speaker 1: I don't think you'll see Sean. He hasn't been really
Speaker 1: doing anything for Sean that's my take. Yeah, Okay, so
Speaker 1: let's go down the table. Let's go around the table,
Speaker 1: and I want to hear who are you most excited
Speaker 1: about or wanting to see the most in this In
Speaker 1: tomorrow's game, I want to hear a rookie and a
Speaker 1: veteran guy. Okay, I'll start with the rookie. UM. I
Speaker 1: want to see Daurance Armstrong. I think we've been seeing
Speaker 1: a lot of him going up against um rookie tackles
Speaker 1: and younger guys, and I want to see him go
Speaker 1: up against somebody different, see what eat what he can try.
Speaker 1: It's not just rookies though. He put Chaz Green on
Speaker 1: his back with one hand the other day, so I
Speaker 1: think we all know what we think about Chazz. I
Speaker 1: want to see him go up against somebody different and
Speaker 1: see if he can kind of continue what we've seen
Speaker 1: at here and take it to the field. That's my rookie. Okay, rookie,
Speaker 1: let's let's yeah, let's get the rookie out of the
Speaker 1: white first. I want to see both. Scarborough he's the great,
Speaker 1: he's the great, the hype machine himself. He's not quite
Speaker 1: Rico gathers in terms of hype, but he's about as
Speaker 1: hyped as I've ever seen a seventh round draft pick.
Speaker 1: He should get a ton of carries in the second
Speaker 1: half at least, if not before that. I want to
Speaker 1: see what he can do. And and he's probably not
Speaker 1: going to have a great line in front of him
Speaker 1: to help him out, so he's gonna have to play well.
Speaker 1: And if he wants to make the team, these are
Speaker 1: the types of situations he needs to show out in.
Speaker 1: So that's one through four draft picks. I need to
Speaker 1: see everyone of them. I'm being honest, every one of them.
Speaker 1: Everyone tell me which one that we don't need to
Speaker 1: see that need to help. No, we need to see
Speaker 1: all of that. Yes, but who do you want to
Speaker 1: see the most every one of them? Because we don't
Speaker 1: know which one is gonna be that guy that impacts
Speaker 1: the team. It may seem like they ain't cooperate, but
Speaker 1: every guy one through four we need to see because
Speaker 1: that's what this team is consistent of. It's young guys.
Speaker 1: So the rookies, we need to see them. I mean
Speaker 1: pick y'all, pick one and then out and then one, two, three, okay, four,
Speaker 1: we need to see all of them. I will say that, well, yeah,
Speaker 1: I might would for sure, just because again we haven't
Speaker 1: been able to fully see him go all out, and
Speaker 1: just because of the position. You know, I'm glad you
Speaker 1: said that, because you know I'm the guy that doesn't
Speaker 1: want to play anybody. The thought of playing Zeke and
Speaker 1: two preseason games makes me want to puke. But vander
Speaker 1: esh needs to play. I mean, he's a big, portant
Speaker 1: draft pick, but he needs all the snaps he can get.
Speaker 1: I'm excited to see what he can do in a
Speaker 1: physical football, you know, real deal situation. I hope he
Speaker 1: plays the whole game, honestly, because at every position at
Speaker 1: one point during the off season we screamed about it,
Speaker 1: almost every position except reason we didn't scream about DEFENSI
Speaker 1: event is because we had de Marcus Larns. But they're well,
Speaker 1: who was drafting wide receiver? Linebacker? Who? We we still
Speaker 1: need a defensive end, you know, we we we screamed
Speaker 1: about all these positions. Now they're here and all of
Speaker 1: them been addressed, and let's see it. Let's see it.
Speaker 1: You know, at first, not all of the game. Which
Speaker 1: one is missing? Are you all been addressed? And all
Speaker 1: it's all, it's all been addressed. Yeah, it's all. Okay,
Speaker 1: we're on the same we are. But I mean, yeah,
Speaker 1: I've made my piece with it and you're just still
Speaker 1: banging the drum. That's I'm okay, Okay, we'll see how okay, Okay, safety,
Speaker 1: I keep forgetting costs safety day. You know, I flew
Speaker 1: with that. That ship flew with me on the day
Speaker 1: of the draft when when we didn't give it up.
Speaker 1: I'm serious, when we didn't do it on the second
Speaker 1: the second player, you know, the second round pick. We
Speaker 1: didn't get that up. I'm like, I had to move
Speaker 1: on because you moved on that quick. Yeah, because the
Speaker 1: way this is looking, even if we get this young
Speaker 1: man who y'all you know who y'all speak about a lot,
Speaker 1: you know, not that young That's the problem. All right,
Speaker 1: but I need to see full rookies. Okay, okay, you
Speaker 1: need to see all the rookies then, yeah, why veteran
Speaker 1: do you need to see? Don't say all of them? Ate,
Speaker 1: ye give me one? No, no, no, no, no, no no,
Speaker 1: it's yeah, you know I have uh Marcus Martin, Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I need to see him. I need to see more
Speaker 1: than what I've seen out here. I want to see
Speaker 1: more than what I've seen out here and what you
Speaker 1: just said one. I was gonna go and list them,
Speaker 1: but Marcus Martin, I would I would like to see
Speaker 1: him do more than just get tired. Yeah, I always
Speaker 1: gonna take those guards. Yeah, Dave, you got a guy, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I got a guy. I'm gonna steal a line from Nate.
Speaker 1: I want to see something from mister Charlton. What you
Speaker 1: love to say he does? He doesn't. He hasn't earned
Speaker 1: a nickname as cool as Taco yet, right, that's right.
Speaker 1: I want to see Vedante. I want to see him
Speaker 1: go against somebody new and hopefully, I mean he's done
Speaker 1: some things out here that leads you to believe that
Speaker 1: he might take a step and uh, I hope it
Speaker 1: translates again. He's another guy. I mean, he's a first
Speaker 1: round pick by name and contract. He's what you would
Speaker 1: call like a big, a big player. But I want
Speaker 1: to see a lot of him. I think he should
Speaker 1: play a lot of snaps and it would certainly make
Speaker 1: me feel good if he could accomplish some things in
Speaker 1: this game to you know, like I said, give you
Speaker 1: some hope that he's going to take that step. I'll
Speaker 1: go with kind of the obvious here because we talk
Speaker 1: so much about getting some safety help in there. So
Speaker 1: let's just see in this first game what Xavier Woods does.
Speaker 1: Let's see, Oh, good call, Mann, great call, bro. Imagine
Speaker 1: if that is a great call though, man, britt Nah,
Speaker 1: that's a great call, brother. Serious, So, Xavier Woods is
Speaker 1: a guy that I'm looking at now. I am just
Speaker 1: because let's just see how things get lined up. Let's see,
Speaker 1: you know how he's the last guy defensive. You've talked
Speaker 1: about it yesterday. How you want to see him get
Speaker 1: in there and mix it up and make these tackles,
Speaker 1: which is good too. That that that will make him
Speaker 1: a really productive safety. But what will make him a
Speaker 1: bad safety is if they go over the top on
Speaker 1: him and he gets beat deep. So if you know
Speaker 1: the great ones. Find a way to be around both
Speaker 1: Woodson was way back here. It was also up here.
Speaker 1: Paula Mallow was always around the ball edred. I'm not
Speaker 1: calling him those, I'm just saying to be a great safety,
Speaker 1: you've got to be back. Make sure that's covered back here,
Speaker 1: but also mix it up when things are in front
Speaker 1: of you. I want to see what Xavier wits do
Speaker 1: we have about angles he's take on the run? What
Speaker 1: type about angles he take that? Thank you, ma'am because
Speaker 1: he was getting more out of time to me. Uh
Speaker 1: to come up and tackle. Yeah, you know we need
Speaker 1: to see because that is key. If he can't do
Speaker 1: that two things that Nick said, be able to get back,
Speaker 1: bat down the ball, I'll make that that saving tackle
Speaker 1: on that nine routle that skin he pulls up the
Speaker 1: scene and come up and say, okay, well, boom, my boy,
Speaker 1: Jeff he missed that. I got his back. Boom slamm
Speaker 1: it just for three or four yard game after after Jeff,
Speaker 1: if Jeff he wasn't missed wich that Dowdy Will, I'll
Speaker 1: be interested to see. You know, we talked about the offense,
Speaker 1: but the first team defense is interesting. You're not gonna
Speaker 1: see Shaun Lee. He has practice, that's right. I would
Speaker 1: guess you're not gonna see Tank, and I would guess
Speaker 1: you're not going to see Tyrone Crawford. That's but other
Speaker 1: than that, everybody else on the defense, even the first teamers,
Speaker 1: probably needs time. And what I mean, and you want
Speaker 1: to see Price, You want to see those guys in
Speaker 1: setting with their other starter caliber players, Yeah, I think
Speaker 1: you want to see him, James. I think all those
Speaker 1: guys will get the whole game. No, no, no no, no no,
Speaker 1: but I bet you, I bet you they'll get two series. Yeah,
Speaker 1: like they'll basically I bet you the first teamers will
Speaker 1: play a quarter Chito, so I know. I mean, you
Speaker 1: obviously need him to be healthy. But none of those
Speaker 1: guys is so established that you can just set them down.
Speaker 1: They need the time, just find out right now, to
Speaker 1: see you around, right, well, very true. This is what
Speaker 1: they're getting ready for the What gets me is what
Speaker 1: I said sounds kind of smart. Got to play because
Speaker 1: if you're saying for the fool play now to MENA
Speaker 1: sent me, that's your starter, right, No, and that start.
Speaker 1: Really like those those three guys, Lee, Lee, Tyrone and
Speaker 1: Tank are the only three guys on this defense that
Speaker 1: I feel comfortable sitting down. Yeah, and everybody else. Not
Speaker 1: only do I need to see more from them, but
Speaker 1: they need the time playing together because at the end
Speaker 1: of the day, these guys haven't played that many games together. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so I think they're going to see a lot of
Speaker 1: I think you're gonna see a lot of snaps from
Speaker 1: the defense compared to the offense. Well, I guess we'll
Speaker 1: have to wait and see tomorrow. How that tight end.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna keep my eyes open on that one thing.
Speaker 1: I think Swaying will play some Jarwin. I mean, I
Speaker 1: think I would imagine you'll see Rico in the first half,
Speaker 1: just when they go like three wide stuff, and then
Speaker 1: you'll see him. I think you'll see Rico a lot.
Speaker 1: The fun thing about having a team this young is
Speaker 1: it's just not a long list of guys who have
Speaker 1: earned that benefit of the doubt. Yeah, which, I don't
Speaker 1: know what's on your list here. You're talking about quarterbacks
Speaker 1: at all. Yeah, Well, we'll get into that in a
Speaker 1: little bit, and let me see what time is. Well,
Speaker 1: we started kind of late, so let's just jump right
Speaker 1: into it again. We we've always talked about Coop Rush
Speaker 1: be in the backup and then once the Cowboys guy
Speaker 1: Mike White, the tug was gonna Okay, well, Mike why
Speaker 1: maybe better We'll see how he plays. As of right now,
Speaker 1: based on what I've seen so far a training camp,
Speaker 1: I think that Cooper Rush is just a little bit
Speaker 1: ahead of Mike White. Is that fair to say? I
Speaker 1: think it's more than a little bit to this point.
Speaker 1: Although what makes this so interesting though, is that's kind
Speaker 1: of the way it's designed, you know, And these NFL
Speaker 1: practices you only have so many reps. So I mean,
Speaker 1: Dak's gonna get the lion's share, and then Cooper Rush
Speaker 1: is gonna get, you know, four reps per period, and
Speaker 1: really by the time Mike White comes in, there's only
Speaker 1: time for like one or two snaps, but he's gonna
Speaker 1: probably play. Mike White's probably gonna play like the maybe
Speaker 1: well the fourth quarter at least, like he's gonna get
Speaker 1: some playing time. And if he balls out in this game,
Speaker 1: that's how you catch attention and that's how you change
Speaker 1: playing time out here. So yeah, I'm the more I've
Speaker 1: been thinking about this position, I really feel like that
Speaker 1: they need to get some veteran help in here. At quarterback.
Speaker 1: I would, I seriously would sign the thirteen fourteen year
Speaker 1: veteran who's available. There's always one. It's usually somebody like
Speaker 1: McCowen or something like bring him back. I would get
Speaker 1: a guy like that in here. I really believe that
Speaker 1: that would be important for Dak. Sanchez was here, he
Speaker 1: was really good for Dak. And you can say what
Speaker 1: you want about all high pick but fumble whatever, he
Speaker 1: was good for Dak. I think they need somebody like this.
Speaker 1: So um still going to be somebody between Russia and White.
Speaker 1: But I feel like, wow, it's amazing man Steell. Kellen
Speaker 1: Moore don't get any any love and he's the quarterback coach. Wow,
Speaker 1: well you WoT to break a guy? Just be good
Speaker 1: for it? Yeah? Well, I mean I would. I'm sorry.
Speaker 1: I mean preferably a guy with more than Kellen Moore
Speaker 1: has never won a game in the NFL. So you
Speaker 1: can say what you want about, yeah he's the coach
Speaker 1: and and and that's that's fine, but but he hasn't
Speaker 1: doesn't have all that experience. I want a guy when
Speaker 1: Dak comes off the sideline that he can at least
Speaker 1: see some different things that are going on. Maybe he
Speaker 1: doesn't have the armed talent for it. But I mean
Speaker 1: guys that are in the room. It can't just be coaching.
Speaker 1: I think there's a veteran out there that they needed
Speaker 1: to look at it. And it wouldn't be Dak looking
Speaker 1: over his shoulder. It's a that's a guy that can
Speaker 1: help him. I'm not I'm not discounting what you said.
Speaker 1: Wade Wilson had a lot of years that are here. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's about thirty five years of experience that's no longer here.
Speaker 1: We don't see that purple shirt out here anymore, and
Speaker 1: I think they're missing it. I said till I was
Speaker 1: blue in the face last year that I would cut
Speaker 1: Kellen Moore and keep Cooper rushing Luke McCown as my backups,
Speaker 1: purely for that reason. I'd be fine with it. But
Speaker 1: they have given no indication that that's something they want
Speaker 1: to do. Yeah, so I don't know. I would have
Speaker 1: done it last year, and yeah, with no thought that
Speaker 1: the veteran would even have a chance to start, but
Speaker 1: just to be an older, experienced voice in the room. Yeah,
Speaker 1: don't get it. Yeah, don't get a guy that Luke
Speaker 1: McCown would have been perfect for that like, he's a
Speaker 1: friendly guy. He's played a lot of years in the league.
Speaker 1: I'll get an RG three type of guy, but one
Speaker 1: another team. Right now, I'd have to see it to
Speaker 1: believe it, because everything they've said suggests otherwise. Let's go
Speaker 1: ahead and take our first break. When we come back,
Speaker 1: we're gonna keep talking about the game tomorrow. It can
Speaker 1: be hard to find the right resource for learning about

Speaker 1: numbers should be on the screen, I believe according to
Speaker 1: NICKI Man, it is blood. Not everybody who's watching. They're
Speaker 1: always some of them are driving and listening to us live,
Speaker 1: which we appreciate exactly. So another guy that we've talked
Speaker 1: about seeing is Dan Bailey, and we've talked about him
Speaker 1: on here, but we haven't heard Nate's opinion on Dan
Speaker 1: Bailey and he last year is a reliable guy until
Speaker 1: he got injured and uh now he's kind of shaky,
Speaker 1: so you know, and leaving or not only only you
Speaker 1: can only nobody kick or doing games when it when
Speaker 1: it comes, when it comes pressure time, that's when you
Speaker 1: know and as he lost it, as he regained it
Speaker 1: is he the same guy that we saw it in
Speaker 1: the middle of the year in the beginning. You won't
Speaker 1: know that until game when that's how to look at kickers,
Speaker 1: because it seemed like they can just go on a
Speaker 1: tremendous role and then all of a sudden they can
Speaker 1: bog down. Some recover, but most don't. It's funny, it's
Speaker 1: so not it's it's such an unfair position because but
Speaker 1: he missed. He missed two kicks in two straight practices,
Speaker 1: and he hasn't missed since, Like he's gone through three
Speaker 1: practices where he hasn't missed. But I don't care, Like
Speaker 1: I'm just like, ah, I saw the misses though, like sorry,
Speaker 1: that's in my head and there's nothing you can do
Speaker 1: about it. So it's and and if he misses in
Speaker 1: a game, then it's only to be worse. So yeah,
Speaker 1: but that's on the way. You can know Brian, Brian.
Speaker 1: We got a notebook from Brian coming up where he
Speaker 1: just kind of previews what he's looking for in this game,
Speaker 1: and he was basically saying, you know, if I'm Jason Garrett,
Speaker 1: I'm looking for excuses to have him kick fuel goals,
Speaker 1: Like I mean, if it's third and third and four,
Speaker 1: just run right into the line and set up a
Speaker 1: fuel goal because that's in a situation like this, that's
Speaker 1: what you want. It doesn't scoring touchdowns doesn't matter. Evaluate
Speaker 1: your team, wish and I wish fans would understand that,
Speaker 1: and they won't when when when they throw it's third
Speaker 1: and four, like you said, from the thirty yard line
Speaker 1: and then just throws some pass deep in the end
Speaker 1: zone that really doesn't have a shot to make it.
Speaker 1: It's probably thrown out of bounds. Kneel the ball, honestly,
Speaker 1: because normally some guy in the national media, our local media,
Speaker 1: you're gonna write something different right about Yeah you all
Speaker 1: right on spot on, But I think you're somebody writing
Speaker 1: something that I have fans ain't. That would be I mean,
Speaker 1: Jason Garrett never do something like that, But that would
Speaker 1: be outstanding to me, is if you're just like, you know,
Speaker 1: we kneeled it because we wanted to see Dan kick
Speaker 1: of forty nine yards kicked on third down, or yeah,
Speaker 1: I do that. That's what preseason's all about, yeah, right,
Speaker 1: and the preseason you got to evaluate the players and
Speaker 1: all that. Now, I wanted to ask about the coaching,
Speaker 1: and it's a tricky situation because again, you're not necessarily
Speaker 1: trying to win a game. You're more testing every player
Speaker 1: and seeing and putting them in different positions. But we
Speaker 1: know that the Cowboys have different coaches this time. Is
Speaker 1: that something? How do you evaluate that as well? Try
Speaker 1: to evaluate during the preseason As far as coaching, I
Speaker 1: think Dave should answer this. You're the one that asked.
Speaker 1: You asked Garrett yesterday about it being kind of a cluster. Yeah,
Speaker 1: on the first practice, you got a first game, you
Speaker 1: got guys up in the booth down here, they're on
Speaker 1: the headsets. Now they're all working together for the first time.
Speaker 1: This is I mean, this is His answer was pretty yeah. Well,
Speaker 1: I mean it's a cluster in a lot of ways too.
Speaker 1: I mean, you got twice as many guys on the
Speaker 1: sideline and in the locker room you And that's the
Speaker 1: main thing he was talking about, which, yeah, like I
Speaker 1: don't envy them in this regard special teams. I mean,
Speaker 1: you got half of your players are done playing by
Speaker 1: halfway through the second quarter, and so your kick teams
Speaker 1: aren't the same. You gotta figure out, you know, who's
Speaker 1: still playing. Basically, it's like, are you are you out?
Speaker 1: Are you still in? Can you go in on punt?
Speaker 1: On punt? Team you gotta And he just said it's
Speaker 1: all about keeping an open line of communication, which again
Speaker 1: will probably be hard because this is the first time
Speaker 1: that this entire staff has coached a game together, meaning
Speaker 1: you know, being on the headsets, who's in the booth,
Speaker 1: who's on the sideline. He just say he I think
Speaker 1: he actually said, you know, he's going to spend basically
Speaker 1: all of this time between yesterday and kickoffs stressing the
Speaker 1: importance of communication and making sure there's open lines so
Speaker 1: there aren't too many crossed wires. But it sounds like
Speaker 1: it's I mean, that just sounds tricky. Like I said,
Speaker 1: ninety players, probably thirty coaches of you know, ten person
Speaker 1: equipment staff and eight person medical staff, and all of
Speaker 1: them have to kind of coexist together in a space
Speaker 1: that's like twenty yards long and ten yards wide. Well
Speaker 1: that's why you have the preseason. Yeah, that's good, four
Speaker 1: of them. Yeah, everything regular season probably feels like a
Speaker 1: piece of cake by the time you get done trimming
Speaker 1: all these guys down. It's one thing that I never
Speaker 1: get too worried about and fans will sometimes when you
Speaker 1: see a punt return for a touchdown or kickoff. Don't
Speaker 1: ever take too much stock in preseason games for special teams,
Speaker 1: just because of that reason right there, that you've got
Speaker 1: a lot of guys doing things that are really not
Speaker 1: going to be on this team. And for that being said,
Speaker 1: if a guy like Lance Lenore goes seventy five yards
Speaker 1: with a punt return for a touchdown, the same thing. Wow,
Speaker 1: you know what, what's their special teams look like? You
Speaker 1: know it'll help him, it'll help his cause. But you
Speaker 1: got to remember special teams. You're just trying to get
Speaker 1: through at this. And you know what, the funny thing
Speaker 1: about it, the guys that should be most scaring about
Speaker 1: special team be the ones that really don't care. That's
Speaker 1: young guys, mostly young guys, second year guys. They like
Speaker 1: they just running down there, but they don't realize that
Speaker 1: this is how you make the team. Boat. Like you said,
Speaker 1: both Scarborough, that's a guy to look for and you
Speaker 1: know he could have fourteen carries for forty six yards
Speaker 1: and you're like, well that's pretty Goodn't nothing too great there? Well?
Speaker 1: What was his line offensive? Line in front of him. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but he goes down there and on the first quarter
Speaker 1: and strips so the you know, proNT returner from the
Speaker 1: ball makes a big hit. Yep, that's gonna help him
Speaker 1: more than So that's really kind of what when we're
Speaker 1: looking at these guys of those bubble guys nas and
Speaker 1: stuff like that. And I don't know how Jason run
Speaker 1: his uh deal when he's talking to the players, especially
Speaker 1: like but Jimmy, Jimmy, look at you know. Okay, I
Speaker 1: know who my first team is and I kind of
Speaker 1: got part of my second team. But the rest of
Speaker 1: you guys, if y'all don't know the special team coach,
Speaker 1: here's his name right here, Dad La la la. If
Speaker 1: you ain't on that, you ain't making this team. And
Speaker 1: so it was just straightforward like that simple. So and
Speaker 1: we paid attention as veterans, you know, during the preseason games,
Speaker 1: who's gonna make those plays like Kenny Gant, you know
Speaker 1: who's gonna make And Kenny Ghant caught on to it
Speaker 1: quick and believe it or not, a guy that was
Speaker 1: gonna make the team anyway that was big on it
Speaker 1: was Darren Woodson, Mouse Johnson. These guys came in as
Speaker 1: rookies who was on all four special teams. That's that's
Speaker 1: what he kind of is for this team. Yeah, you
Speaker 1: know kay Von Fraser the same way guys like that
Speaker 1: who understand the importance of how do I make this
Speaker 1: team right? And uh, like I said, I don't know
Speaker 1: if Jason that blunt with it, but Jimmy used to
Speaker 1: be straightforward with it, and that's a I mean, I'm
Speaker 1: both Scarborough's fascinating for a lot of reasons because I
Speaker 1: mean he was and I mean he lost some playing
Speaker 1: time in his last year at Alabama, but he was
Speaker 1: a bell cow national title winning back for Alabama. I
Speaker 1: don't imagine he's been in that situation in a few
Speaker 1: years where I'm interested to see what this looks like
Speaker 1: for him and how hard he's grinding. I think Coach
Speaker 1: Brown probably telling the Brown probi said, bro, you you
Speaker 1: won't get on this field man, and you your chance
Speaker 1: of being on the team is not great if you
Speaker 1: if you don't do this, And I know his biggest
Speaker 1: competitor for a job is pretty darn good at special teams,
Speaker 1: Darius Jackson. Yeah, yeah, that's gonna be interesting. Are you
Speaker 1: smiling at me? Like that. You know, I love Darius Jackson.
Speaker 1: I know who me. No, yeah, you're smirking at me.
Speaker 1: You do love him, But Bob, Well, I was just
Speaker 1: thinking of like his body type and that's how you
Speaker 1: made fun of any other thing. But he just he
Speaker 1: looks like a beast. Boh yeah, oh my god. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Like literally, I can't count how many times I've had
Speaker 1: the conversation, Like me and Nick have talked about it.
Speaker 1: I've talked about it with other reporters, coaches, and you're like,
Speaker 1: if you were just like the old bus test, like
Speaker 1: off the bus to him, you're putting you're having Bow
Speaker 1: get off the bus first because he's scary, Like he
Speaker 1: looks like a monster. I mean, but it ain't that easy.
Speaker 1: You gotta do more than look like a monster. And Rico,
Speaker 1: I'm telling me the rookie minicamp when they first got
Speaker 1: there and all just when I walked out of that
Speaker 1: side and I saw both like the linebackers that I
Speaker 1: talked to Keith o quinn, a special teams coordinator back
Speaker 1: in the OTAs, and he was coming off the field
Speaker 1: and he had sunglasses on and he was he was
Speaker 1: talking about different guys about you know, and I said,
Speaker 1: bo Scarborough and I said, he's a guy. That man.
Speaker 1: If he could play some special teams for you, I'd
Speaker 1: be pretty good. And he kind of like looked at me,
Speaker 1: took his sunglasses off and he was like, he's gonna
Speaker 1: play special teams. It was just like, Oh, he's playing
Speaker 1: special teams. Trust are you gonna find the way the
Speaker 1: way he's playing. I don't know if that meant like, oh,
Speaker 1: he's a rookie, he's got to or that's he he's
Speaker 1: a beast if he if he averages two point five
Speaker 1: yards per carry on Thursday night, I don't care if
Speaker 1: he runs down and just blows somebody up on a kick.
Speaker 1: R Dave. Give me that felt like you did when
Speaker 1: they did when they did gold Line and they lined
Speaker 1: them up first, I was like, Okay, they trying to
Speaker 1: tell him something, you know, when they lined them up
Speaker 1: as the first bat. We're trying to tell you something.
Speaker 1: They want him to make the team. Yeah, they just
Speaker 1: he's got to earn it though. Yeah. All right, here
Speaker 1: is a question from Twitter. Jerome is asking losing talent
Speaker 1: to cuts. It's exactly what I've been worrying about. So
Speaker 1: would you rather keep Rico or Elie at this point.
Speaker 1: Jerome at the time Mars Day he played who Mar's
Speaker 1: Day in the time Jungle Love, I got you, Jerome. Yeah,
Speaker 1: there you go. Um ee y. I don't know it
Speaker 1: was like that, But if you're at I mean, if
Speaker 1: you're asking me, I'd rather have Rico. And that's I mean,
Speaker 1: I'm not really trying to knock Cony Eally, but I
Speaker 1: haven't seen anything amazing from him out here, and we
Speaker 1: have seen Dorance Armstrong play really well. Tacos had some moments.
Speaker 1: Tank is obviously Tank. The only thing about Elie is
Speaker 1: that I feel like with like the guys you just mentioned,
Speaker 1: pretty good depth of defensive end. Now, I think Eally
Speaker 1: is pushing himself kind of to the inside where it's
Speaker 1: where there's a spot available with David Irving not here,
Speaker 1: and so somebody else is going to have to pick
Speaker 1: up the slack. Though you've got Collins hurt. I think
Speaker 1: if Eli makes it, it's going to be because he
Speaker 1: has versatility to play both of those spots, because I
Speaker 1: don't think they want to put Crawford down in there anymore. Yeah,
Speaker 1: who you like? I mean, I just don't think it's
Speaker 1: a it's going to come down to Elie versus Rico.
Speaker 1: It's not, but just indulge the exercise. Elie right now,
Speaker 1: Eli right now, because I think he's got more. We
Speaker 1: got one vote for Rico, one for Eally the thing
Speaker 1: is Rio for basically the same reason as he said.
Speaker 1: I mean, but Rico goes out and catches touchdown passes
Speaker 1: and does some things. Or you don't have to catch touchdowns,
Speaker 1: just just catch the ball and do something, make a
Speaker 1: few blocks, and then things change a little bit because
Speaker 1: now Rico has a chance to be on the field
Speaker 1: a lot more. If a tied end, if you're the
Speaker 1: second or third tight end, you're gonna play. If you're
Speaker 1: the second or third I mean, if you're like the
Speaker 1: fourth or fifth tackle, you might be an active. So
Speaker 1: I just think it's it's early right now, I think
Speaker 1: Elo has Elie Craig Elo Eli has a better chance
Speaker 1: of making the team right now. Oh, I think Elie's
Speaker 1: got a better chance of making the team. But I
Speaker 1: just think Rico's got more potential. I just when we
Speaker 1: when we put in the headline, we put Coney Eli
Speaker 1: in a headline, nobody clicks on it, but we put
Speaker 1: Rico yeah, oh my god, let me say this, And
Speaker 1: that's because Rico's got potential to beat something so brought us.
Speaker 1: Eliot finally picked it up after four days of social practice.
Speaker 1: I mean, Rico even been practicing better than him the
Speaker 1: first four or five days. Now Eily has finally. I
Speaker 1: guess he had food poising a subtle so slow. I
Speaker 1: don't know. Yeah, I'm just sad man, Okay, I think
Speaker 1: they both have their dehydrated a sub and sixty degree weather.
Speaker 1: I don't know what this problem was time out on
Speaker 1: the sixty degree weather. It's a little warmer than this is.
Speaker 1: I forgot when I get up at four thirty in
Speaker 1: the morning, sixty Sixtyes, I'm sorry. Oh yeah, I look
Speaker 1: at my things siding stationary body. Yeah, it's yesterday honestly
Speaker 1: might have been the hottest day in the history of
Speaker 1: ox Nerd. It was eighty two. Yeah, don't look at
Speaker 1: you whatever the thing that you're looking at. I mean,
Speaker 1: there's a heat in deck out here, and it's it's
Speaker 1: it was about it. But I rolled my bike thirteen
Speaker 1: fourteen miles and it didn't seem like but in Dallas,
Speaker 1: I can't ride three miles, So I mean don't different
Speaker 1: different heat out here. I'm just saying hot is hot.
Speaker 1: Sweating through your clothes is hot, and the players out
Speaker 1: there playing it was hot. Let me, let me okay,
Speaker 1: gets you mentally strong again. You love Dallas mentally strong.

Speaker 1: ninety six. The heating dex is feels like a hundred

Speaker 1: ox now can't that's about okay, Let's go ahead, and

Speaker 1: real quick, real quick. I wanted to actually talk about
Speaker 1: something else today. We have something very very good coming out.
Speaker 1: Definitely this is one. Yeah, I said, definitely, let me
Speaker 1: talk about it. This is one of the this is
Speaker 1: one of the best documentaries that I have ever seen,
Speaker 1: and I think you're really really gonna enjoy it. Um.
Speaker 1: It's called Parcel's Final right and actually, uh, Kent Garrison,
Speaker 1: Rob Phelps put together. Kent could probably talk about it
Speaker 1: as well as anybody, but I know he doesn't like
Speaker 1: to do that, doesn't like to talk about his own
Speaker 1: his own work. But he put a lot of work
Speaker 1: and effort into this. It's about his first season, Bart
Speaker 1: Parcel's first season with the team, uh two thousand and three,
Speaker 1: and it's just it takes you back. It's it's so
Speaker 1: behind you know, behind the scenes. You're gonna absolutely love it.
Speaker 1: It's a it's the it's the best hour in fifteen minutes.
Speaker 1: It goes by really quickly. Just watching the trailer makes
Speaker 1: you want to see it, so can't you there? Hey, guys,
Speaker 1: Hey tell us guys, Hey, guys, it's me. I know
Speaker 1: you don't like talking about it, but but really, what
Speaker 1: what what was your favorite part? I'm gonna interview quick.
Speaker 1: What was your favorite part of doing this documentary? I
Speaker 1: think talking to Bill rob and I actually got to
Speaker 1: fly down to Florida and talk to Bill and uh
Speaker 1: we talked to him for about forty minutes, and I
Speaker 1: think thirty nine of it is actually in the documentary
Speaker 1: because he it's hardly yeah, because he's just solid gold.
Speaker 1: But I think just his personality and how honest and
Speaker 1: and everything he was, and I think you'll see it.
Speaker 1: He talks a lot about how things ended here and
Speaker 1: why he left, and was a lot of speculation before,
Speaker 1: but he cleared a lot of that up and it
Speaker 1: felt like he really wanted to get a lot of
Speaker 1: this off his chest too. You know a lot of
Speaker 1: these thoughts on the Cowboys. People ask him about the
Speaker 1: Patriots or you know, Jets or giants a lot, but
Speaker 1: I think the Cowboys he really had a lot of feelings.
Speaker 1: He wanted to get out, and I think he got
Speaker 1: him out and this is him speaking the truth. So
Speaker 1: nothing better than that with Parcels. He's a great quote. Definitely. Okay,
Speaker 1: So the where can people? Yeah? And the best way? Yeah,
Speaker 1: the best way to watch They're gonna We're gonna put
Speaker 1: it all over the place there right Yeah, We're doing

Speaker 1: we'll put it on demand. You can watch it on
Speaker 1: your own time, but I suggest, yeah, download the TV

Speaker 1: to saying you didn't have a chance to watch it
Speaker 1: because you have of it available every way and every
Speaker 1: possible way you can think of. It. Sounded ready and prepared,
Speaker 1: but he did not know we were coming to him
Speaker 1: right there. But he was ready for this. I mean,
Speaker 1: he's been ready for it to be out. They've worked
Speaker 1: so hard on this, UM and it shows, it really
Speaker 1: does show. It was great. We're off for like the
Speaker 1: rest of the day. Yeah, I'm gonna go watch it.
Speaker 1: I think it'll be a good, good thing to hold
Speaker 1: people over till till the preseason game tomorrow. Yes, check out,
Speaker 1: So we'll check it out. You got to check it
Speaker 1: out and then we'll come back later on in the
Speaker 1: week and talk about it. Yeah, and reviews I've already
Speaker 1: given you. I've already given three thumbs up. I only
Speaker 1: have two. So it's really good, I promise you. All Right,
Speaker 1: let's go ahead and take a call from Elvis in Midland. Okay,
Speaker 1: kind of off the topic question here, but can you
Speaker 1: guys tell me if teams know when a player's continuing
Speaker 1: to fail drug tests up to the point that they're
Speaker 1: in the drug program. Um. I think that information will
Speaker 1: help understand why teams don't resign players or you know,
Speaker 1: maybe like the low ball DeMarcus Lawrence if they did.
Speaker 1: But I just want to know if they're if they
Speaker 1: know that they're failing the drug test up to the
Speaker 1: point of suspension, all right, I mean they're so there's
Speaker 1: so much gray area with that. I mean, I know
Speaker 1: that that's a very easy question do they know or
Speaker 1: do they not know? But you gotta there's other factors here,
Speaker 1: and I'm not trying to sidestep the question. But it's
Speaker 1: not as simple as that, because you've got different types
Speaker 1: of drug tests, you've got different types of programs that
Speaker 1: they're on. You've got um that there are some players
Speaker 1: that that are on UM different programs from the NFL
Speaker 1: where where they the Cowboys are? The teams do not know,
Speaker 1: um what's going on. It's it comes down to different
Speaker 1: different drugs. It's it's different types of tasks. And I'm
Speaker 1: league administered like drug tests that the whole league gets.
Speaker 1: They get the results of that if you fail, I believe,
Speaker 1: And yeah, and they probably know a little bit before
Speaker 1: it hits you know, the announcement, but not that much earlier.
Speaker 1: And then then beyond it don't matter because the player
Speaker 1: don't get paid and he's in most cases he's not
Speaker 1: with the team, so it don't matter. And uh, in
Speaker 1: Gregory's case, uh, they knew towards the end when he
Speaker 1: had the ability to be reinstated. With d Lawrence, they
Speaker 1: may they may have knew a little bit more because
Speaker 1: it's only four games. But at the end of the day,
Speaker 1: they don't get paid, so the lowballing factor is out
Speaker 1: of the window. Well, I think he's talking about like
Speaker 1: when it's time to renegotiate a contract, you say, hey,
Speaker 1: we you know we don't trust you, X, Y and Z.
Speaker 1: This is why we know you have failed drug tests
Speaker 1: in the past. But but but the bottom line is
Speaker 1: de Lague did the Margus Lawrence has been two years
Speaker 1: from that. They're not gonna do that with him, whereas
Speaker 1: with Gregory, if he's coming up, it's gonna be a factor.
Speaker 1: And then the rules changed too when a guy's in
Speaker 1: the program, because I mean, obviously Randy Gregory is, but
Speaker 1: once you're in the program, are you in it for
Speaker 1: a certain amount of time And they already know that,
Speaker 1: so uh, they're either gonna they're either gonna put some
Speaker 1: stipulations in there. But like I said, you get suspended again.
Speaker 1: We ain't got a worry about Gregory. But let's if
Speaker 1: it was his first time going down, he ain't getting paid.
Speaker 1: So no matter if they signed up for twenty million dollars,
Speaker 1: he ain't getting paid. I think league wide too, I
Speaker 1: think I think fans would be surprised league wide to
Speaker 1: know how many players are in the program for one
Speaker 1: reason or another. And that's uh, I mean, I like
Speaker 1: that stuff that's kept confidential for a reason, and I
Speaker 1: honestly you can you can miss it. You can miss
Speaker 1: a drug test and be in the program. You could
Speaker 1: uh do something and you can fail one. You can
Speaker 1: fail one. It's other ways that you can do something
Speaker 1: weird off the field and they say, hey, that's that's
Speaker 1: not characteristic of you. We need and they'll challenge, we
Speaker 1: need to start, you know, having you do a few
Speaker 1: right tests. You know. So it's so many ways, so
Speaker 1: many things that that can put you under the gun too.
Speaker 1: But the bottom line is you don't get paid to
Speaker 1: answer the question as bluntly as possible. I don't think
Speaker 1: teams have all of that information. Some of it is
Speaker 1: not privy to them, obviously for confidentiality reasons, but also
Speaker 1: NFL teams are pretty good at finding stuff out about
Speaker 1: their players. So all right, here's a question from Twitter.
Speaker 1: Do you guys think that it's accurate to compare it
Speaker 1: Dack to someone like Alex Smith? Accurate meaning what like, yes,
Speaker 1: athletic running quarterback. Not not the strongest armum, but he's
Speaker 1: he's never never looks pretty, but it is effective. Um.
Speaker 1: I don't think that's the worst comparison. No, I think
Speaker 1: it's actually pretty good. That's yeah. I mean people use
Speaker 1: Alex Smith and you're like, oh, he'll be he'll be
Speaker 1: Alex Smith, Like his ceiling is Alex Smith. Alex Smith
Speaker 1: has had a pretty nice career. And I get it.
Speaker 1: You know, he's never been to a super Bowl. He's
Speaker 1: not the type of quarterback that's going to carry a
Speaker 1: bad team or a mediocre team to a good record.
Speaker 1: But Alex Smith has gotten two different franchises into the
Speaker 1: playoffs and into the next round of the playoffs. So
Speaker 1: if Dak aspires to be that, I'm a okay, that's
Speaker 1: fine with me. Now, just for fun, something that we
Speaker 1: usually do during the season is predict a game and
Speaker 1: the score. Obviously that's something that we don't care about
Speaker 1: for this game, but let's go ahead and predict who
Speaker 1: is gonna be a guy that you expect to shine tomorrow.
Speaker 1: I'll be disappointed based on what he's done these first
Speaker 1: two weeks of camp. I will be disappointed if Lance
Speaker 1: Lenore doesn't do something if he does, I mean, if
Speaker 1: he did, I'm not saying, and he's got to like
Speaker 1: set the preseason receiving record. But if he doesn't come
Speaker 1: out of this game with a nice stat line or
Speaker 1: a nice play, that will be disappointing. Because he's done
Speaker 1: it out here every freaking day. That's I mean. If
Speaker 1: we don't come out of this game feeling good about him,
Speaker 1: that's disappointing. Like if I mean, if he drops a
Speaker 1: punt or a pass or just disappears, that would be
Speaker 1: a bummer unless they're trying to hide him because he's
Speaker 1: been playing so well. But I don't think they'll do that. Okay,
Speaker 1: Antoine Woods, I'm sixty four to the human law. You
Speaker 1: expect him to shine. I want him to play well. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and his deal is hard to judge because he may
Speaker 1: not make a tackle, but he can be very disruptive
Speaker 1: if he If he puts fresh on that center, you know,
Speaker 1: and make help our linebackers make plays, he's done his job. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you're gonna throw on the tape first thing, like Friday
Speaker 1: morning with Brian and just be the human law. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna hear it from my room and I'm hoping to
Speaker 1: do something, man, because I'm like you, if he don't
Speaker 1: be effective, man, I'll be kind of you know, wow, man,
Speaker 1: he's done. He's he's went from nobody to you know,
Speaker 1: getting first team reps and now all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: you get in the game and get set on fire.
Speaker 1: It bums. It bums like it's kind of like it's
Speaker 1: like if you saw a bigfoot or something, but then
Speaker 1: he disappeared when you tried to show somebody else, Like like,
Speaker 1: I'm telling you he was good in practice for two weeks.
Speaker 1: I'm not crazy, and then goes out on TV and
Speaker 1: it isn't good and everybody's like, Okay, Nate idiot thought
Speaker 1: Antoine Woods was good. Yeahlite Collins. I say it every
Speaker 1: year there's somebody that we don't even talk about and
Speaker 1: they're like, we're gonna get back here. That Marchie Murdock's
Speaker 1: pretty good. He had a really good game because that's
Speaker 1: what they see, and you know he hasn't done anything
Speaker 1: right now. Um My guy that I think will play
Speaker 1: well is Joe Thomas. Um. I think he does a
Speaker 1: nice job. He's played a lot filling in for Sean Lee.
Speaker 1: I think he's when you're in that role where you
Speaker 1: play with the first team because of an injury, you
Speaker 1: also play with the second team because you're on the
Speaker 1: second team. I think he'll play a lot, and I
Speaker 1: think he's physical, He's got something to prove as well,
Speaker 1: and in a game like this, I think he'll stand out.
Speaker 1: I think he'll make some some nice places, big hits.
Speaker 1: I think that that is such a sneaky good signing
Speaker 1: on the dal Boys part um. I know we talk
Speaker 1: a lot about Jalen and Vanderesh, but by the end
Speaker 1: of the season, I think we will appreciate that that
Speaker 1: was a smart addition to this, Like Fleming, I think
Speaker 1: that signing Cameron Fleming and signing Joe Thomas and maybe
Speaker 1: drafting Bo Scarborough. Maybe I don't know. You know, Zeke
Speaker 1: doesn't have the injury history like that, and I don't
Speaker 1: we don't see anything down the knock on wood. We
Speaker 1: don't see anything happening where he's not gonna play. But
Speaker 1: but you know, just from a depth standpoint, I think
Speaker 1: those guys at the radar additions that could help in
Speaker 1: the depth. Ye Now, if the receivers collectively have a
Speaker 1: great performance this season, does that lower concern of not
Speaker 1: having to go to have like a go to receiver
Speaker 1: instead and instead focus on just having a really good
Speaker 1: depth at wide receiver. I still like an I still
Speaker 1: like a go to guy. I like it from defensive,
Speaker 1: you know, perspective of somebody they have to kind of
Speaker 1: worry about. I like it from maybe a guy that
Speaker 1: Dak can lean on. I know Jason Witten is gonna
Speaker 1: be right here. I know Dez is gonna be over
Speaker 1: here or at least go up and get it from here.
Speaker 1: And they need somebody, I think, to do that, and
Speaker 1: they will, somebody will establish themselves. Maybe it's cold. Are
Speaker 1: you looking at me like that? Nate, I'm just I'm
Speaker 1: just enjoying the show, man, I mean, I'm I'm are
Speaker 1: you not talking, I'm out of body? No, I'm good.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, Yeah, I'm good. I mean, why can't I
Speaker 1: enjoy the show? Dave talk Man, forget this, dude. I
Speaker 1: think that guy this and his name is Ezekiel Elliott.
Speaker 1: I think I mean just off the ball, well, I
Speaker 1: mean hand off the ball, but throw him the ball too.
Speaker 1: My like my two My one of my biggest pet
Speaker 1: peeves is just that they that he hasn't gotten involved
Speaker 1: in the passing game, and I hope it changes this year. Man,
Speaker 1: you need a new staff. Badge is all I do.
Speaker 1: The Cowboys need I go to like a main reason.
Speaker 1: They will find him by the night. By by the
Speaker 1: tenth or twelfth game, I know who that guy? What
Speaker 1: team is? Damn time? Ate my god? Well what I'm
Speaker 1: trying to what I'm trying to do. What I'm trying
Speaker 1: to do. What I'm trying to do? His name to
Speaker 1: Jack Michael Gallup. I'm thinking by that time he'll know yeah,
Speaker 1: because everybody likes what he does. But I wonder what
Speaker 1: he'll do when it's when it's when it's uh, let's
Speaker 1: do this a high point situation. You're gonna hate this,
Speaker 1: and that's why I want to do it. Week one,
Speaker 1: September ninth, Cowboys come out in eleven personnel. Yes, who
Speaker 1: are the receivers snap number one Cole Beasley, Terence william
Speaker 1: and I hope Michael Gallup. Wow, Okay, so you got
Speaker 1: not not Alan Hearns. Nah. I'm all about what we
Speaker 1: already have and what we what's gonna be new? And
Speaker 1: I wanted to be number Michael Gallup. I don't we
Speaker 1: got the veteran guy in cold and that you know,
Speaker 1: it would be enormous for this here is new here
Speaker 1: new enough, it would be huge. It would be huge
Speaker 1: for this team. If Michael Gallup is good enough to
Speaker 1: be a day one starter, might be huge. First guy off,
Speaker 1: you know. And that's my dream team. But we all
Speaker 1: know that Herns, we signed you, so hey, we gotta
Speaker 1: give you first up. I feel the same way, but
Speaker 1: I would I would hope that it's Herns, Gallop and Beasley. Nah,
Speaker 1: I think I think that's your dream team. Okay, Williams, Williams,
Speaker 1: he will he if you see them run rounds playing. Well, man,
Speaker 1: this dude he realized, like I've learned, I understand, I
Speaker 1: know what can be done now and be it's not
Speaker 1: incidents off the field is playing a part in his career.
Speaker 1: And I think he's really understanding that it ain't the foot.
Speaker 1: People can believe it's the foot. All they want, not
Speaker 1: the foot. Brother. It's like, man, we got people out
Speaker 1: here running routes, trying to understand what we need in
Speaker 1: our in our locker room, and what we used to
Speaker 1: put up with in our locker room. We ain't putting
Speaker 1: up with it no more. Well, last year he his
Speaker 1: Dak's connection with Terrence William was the best one on
Speaker 1: the field. I mean they took Colle Jason when they
Speaker 1: took Cole Beasley. Obviously Das wasn't working out, so Dak
Speaker 1: always found a way to get to Terrence. And it
Speaker 1: wasn't always great either, but he was, I would say,
Speaker 1: the main guy. Who was Dak's main guy last year,
Speaker 1: and that's why it was a problem because he didn't
Speaker 1: There were some games where Terrence caught one ball, if any,
Speaker 1: so that I think he would be better this year too.
Speaker 1: And if he don't, but then we're looking at Herns,
Speaker 1: Gallop and Coal. Yep, okay, now you mean you mentioned
Speaker 1: about uh okay and Zeke. That's the big one to
Speaker 1: catch the ball, rod Smith. Zeke's cool. Zeke's gonna have
Speaker 1: to touch the ball close to four hundred times. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you give it to him, however you won't, Yep, just
Speaker 1: give it to him. However you want fifty and then yes,
Speaker 1: four fifty, yeah, three hundred and eighty carries and it's
Speaker 1: far and fifth. We deep in the playoffs and he
Speaker 1: got so five and out. Larry Johnson, So okay, what
Speaker 1: are you doing right here now? So so now, so
Speaker 1: now we got to turn around and say, hey, let's
Speaker 1: make sure we give him keep him around two hundred
Speaker 1: three hundred. So so we don't make the playoffs, but
Speaker 1: we're preserving it. Well, what's the four okay? So what
Speaker 1: would you rather? When he said four fifth, I included
Speaker 1: what pofs deep you got? You got like a jeep? Right, yeah,
Speaker 1: you got like a badass jeep with big tires. Is
Speaker 1: it fun? Is it more fun to drive that in
Speaker 1: the city, like on a smoothly paved road, or is
Speaker 1: it more fun to like climb over a damn mountain
Speaker 1: in that thing? Yeah? Just take it. Yeah, man, you're
Speaker 1: just going over boulders and a round. Well, I was
Speaker 1: driving over to want to do this to this show,
Speaker 1: but you're suspended. The rest of us gonna carry on now.
Speaker 1: I actually, actually you're retired. So we're going behind your
Speaker 1: back to the boss, no big dog, because you just
Speaker 1: second in commands. We'll go to the big guy, and
Speaker 1: we gotta get you off the board of trust bass man,
Speaker 1: we gotta get you off the board of the trustees.
Speaker 1: Mane ze y'all, he ain't seeing ze I want to
Speaker 1: see Zeke for eight more years. Not two. You want
Speaker 1: to want to see him until his contract is up
