21
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:29,200
Speaker 1: That's Right's right. He's a team player though. Yeah, that's

22
00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:31,640
Speaker 1: a great sign name. It's good for the team. Pictures

23
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:36,120
Speaker 1: what he is, yes, yes, and a team player we

24
00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:40,240
Speaker 1: all know and love. Jason Witton officially retired after fifteen

25
00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:43,400
Speaker 1: seasons with the Dallas Cowboys. Of course, if you guys

26
00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:47,039
Speaker 1: have read Mickey's calm about his departure, I know there

27
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:49,560
Speaker 1: was a lot of coverage over the weekend and it

28
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:52,600
Speaker 1: was a very emotional sixteen minute speech he gave at

29
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:57,200
Speaker 1: the press conference. Garrett emotional, Jerry Jones. It was as

30
00:01:57,200 --> 00:02:00,200
Speaker 1: a hard few days for Cowboys nation, I assume. But

31
00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:04,080
Speaker 1: he has gone now and we must move on, we

32
00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:07,440
Speaker 1: must say our goodbyes. Yeah. Tony Romo shared a very

33
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:10,639
Speaker 1: special letter last night to the best player he's ever

34
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:13,760
Speaker 1: played with. Yeah, I think that's fair. That's fair. Yeah,

35
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:18,080
Speaker 1: for sure, that's fair. It's funny you go along and

36
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:21,880
Speaker 1: he's it's with players and at one time, you know,

37
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:25,520
Speaker 1: I had where in Romo and Witt and as all

38
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:28,680
Speaker 1: guys kind of I still connected to just from a

39
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:33,280
Speaker 1: draft perspective, you know, two thousand and three and two

40
00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:36,880
Speaker 1: thousand and five, and then it goes from three to

41
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:40,520
Speaker 1: two to one to none, and it just shows you

42
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:43,760
Speaker 1: how his careers, you know, I mean fifteen years a

43
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:46,639
Speaker 1: long time. I mean we drafted Jason Witten. I mean

44
00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:49,200
Speaker 1: he was a young guy, went twenty twenty one years old,

45
00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:52,440
Speaker 1: and now you see him, he's now, you know, I'm

46
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:55,080
Speaker 1: going to retire and go on to Money Night Football.

47
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:57,120
Speaker 1: But good for him. I think he made the right choice.

48
00:02:57,800 --> 00:02:59,680
Speaker 1: I really do. I said this the other day. I

49
00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:03,680
Speaker 1: felt like that that the the decision he had to

50
00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:07,440
Speaker 1: make that Monday night Football is an iconic brand, and

51
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:10,559
Speaker 1: I think the fact that he was as the opportunity

52
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:12,399
Speaker 1: to go and be a part of that, I think

53
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:16,920
Speaker 1: is fabulous that he can do that. And so you know, hey,

54
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:20,560
Speaker 1: you know, I believe he asked Bill Parcels. Parcells told

55
00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:22,320
Speaker 1: him the same thing, Hey, you gotta go on, you

56
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:25,160
Speaker 1: got to go do this. So good for him. It's

57
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:27,959
Speaker 1: gonna be a great opportunity for him. And and I'm

58
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:32,120
Speaker 1: sure that that he will enlighten football fans much like

59
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:34,239
Speaker 1: he's enlightened us over the years. When we get a

60
00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:37,160
Speaker 1: chance to visit with him. Yeah, maybe you called it

61
00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:41,000
Speaker 1: the offer he could not refuse, shouldn't refuse, and he

62
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:45,520
Speaker 1: shouldn't refuse it because as Brian just said, you know

63
00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:49,560
Speaker 1: that comes out around once every yeah, you know, seems

64
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:52,480
Speaker 1: like decade. And so if you want to do it

65
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:56,720
Speaker 1: and you've put in fifteen years, uh, and you know,

66
00:03:56,920 --> 00:03:59,720
Speaker 1: and I'm not sure what the Cowboys had planned this

67
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:03,320
Speaker 1: year year at tight end, but you know, when you're

68
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:07,040
Speaker 1: hitting thirty six and fifteen years in, you're going on

69
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:10,360
Speaker 1: your sixteenth, you know, chances are I mean, you're not

70
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:13,240
Speaker 1: gonna play ninety percent of the plays. You may not

71
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:15,920
Speaker 1: play eighty percent of the play. So I think it

72
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:20,320
Speaker 1: was time and I think he he sort of knew it.

73
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:22,520
Speaker 1: But it's hard to say. And as I put it

74
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:25,360
Speaker 1: out in my column, he's never quit, right, yeah, And

75
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 1: I'm not saying he quit, but he moved on, moved on. Uh.

76
00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:32,680
Speaker 1: He didn't quit with a buck broken jaw, he didn't

77
00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:36,440
Speaker 1: quit with a lacerated spleen. He didn't quit without a helmet.

78
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:40,120
Speaker 1: And for him to say, Okay, I'm I'm leaving it

79
00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:43,279
Speaker 1: was a very tough thing. And you know, I've had

80
00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:46,240
Speaker 1: three or four people tell me how he kind of

81
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:48,520
Speaker 1: went back and forth on this whole thing to the

82
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:52,440
Speaker 1: point of tears that he couldn't decide. So yeah, I

83
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:55,600
Speaker 1: thought I thought though that he came to the right conclusion.

84
00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:59,840
Speaker 1: I think he'll be awfully good. How he can exp

85
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:04,279
Speaker 1: lane things. I think if anybody needed an example, how

86
00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:09,040
Speaker 1: Jason explained how Witton gave the presentation on his why

87
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:14,039
Speaker 1: option route, which is a very seemingly simple route, but

88
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:16,479
Speaker 1: he goes into the detail he did and knew what

89
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:19,840
Speaker 1: everybody else was doing on the play. Sure, it's it's

90
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:22,960
Speaker 1: rather amazing, and I think he will bring that to

91
00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:27,479
Speaker 1: the broadcast and hopefully he brings Jason Witten to it.

92
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:30,960
Speaker 1: Not try to be something he's not, just the way

93
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:34,240
Speaker 1: Tony Romo gave him the example. Don't think this is

94
00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:36,799
Speaker 1: the cookie counter way you're supposed to be an analyst.

95
00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:39,960
Speaker 1: Just go on there and be yourself. Be yourself. If

96
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:42,760
Speaker 1: he's himself, people are gonna love him because I think

97
00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:44,240
Speaker 1: a lot of people got a glimpse into maybe a

98
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:46,880
Speaker 1: different side of him during that forty five minute press conference.

99
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:50,479
Speaker 1: Just how genuine and what an earnest guy he is.

100
00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:53,440
Speaker 1: He's so likable, and I think that's going to translate well.

101
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:56,080
Speaker 1: On TV. We were ketting, I were down in Palm

102
00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:58,440
Speaker 1: Beach interviewed coach Parcels a few weeks ago and we

103
00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:00,720
Speaker 1: mentioned him, hey, you know, maybe Witten down the road

104
00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:02,520
Speaker 1: might get into coaching, and he laughed and said that,

105
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:04,839
Speaker 1: you know, there's there's two sides to that pancake. That

106
00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:08,120
Speaker 1: was one of his famous cliches. Maybe one day Whitten

107
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:09,680
Speaker 1: will be a coach. I don't know. He's only thirty

108
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:11,400
Speaker 1: six years old. He's got a lot of life in

109
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:14,320
Speaker 1: front of him. Um. But you know, Romo found his

110
00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:18,040
Speaker 1: voice doing TV last year, and I think Romo's on

111
00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:20,200
Speaker 1: his way to be in the next Madden and Witten

112
00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:22,120
Speaker 1: might very well do that as well. I think he's

113
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:24,440
Speaker 1: going to be great at it. Go be John Wayne,

114
00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:26,880
Speaker 1: Go be John Wayne. Yeah, you don't have to worry

115
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:28,960
Speaker 1: about that. Hey, two thousand and three draft, you're forgetting

116
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:32,279
Speaker 1: about somebody who's buckled up for another season. Terence Newman

117
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:35,520
Speaker 1: about that he's ready for it. Yeah, he was too

118
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:37,839
Speaker 1: old when we drafted him the first time, when he

119
00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:40,839
Speaker 1: was twenty five. Yeah. Yeah, we took a lot degree

120
00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:43,640
Speaker 1: for that one, just because But now he's two thousand

121
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:49,200
Speaker 1: and three three. Yeah, he's found a coach that really

122
00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:52,000
Speaker 1: respects his game and understands his game and takes care

123
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:54,960
Speaker 1: of him in that regard, in Mike Zimmer, you know, yeah,

124
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:59,080
Speaker 1: no more. Yeah, everywhere Mike's been, Mike has brought him along,

125
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:01,680
Speaker 1: and Terrence is always come in shape and ready to go.

126
00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:04,839
Speaker 1: So yeah, it's it's yeah, you're running out of guys

127
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:08,839
Speaker 1: and that that whole uh, that whole draft. But it

128
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:12,040
Speaker 1: was incredible. I mean, Witton was I've told the story before.

129
00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:13,520
Speaker 1: He was, you know, on our board as a first

130
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:16,320
Speaker 1: round grade and here you are, you getting the third round.

131
00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:18,440
Speaker 1: And it was a really unusual draft because of all

132
00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:21,120
Speaker 1: the tight ends that were available and people were just

133
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:24,400
Speaker 1: picking them off one after another. And Witten. If you

134
00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:27,640
Speaker 1: look at the combined career of most of those guys,

135
00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:30,920
Speaker 1: Dallas Clark was a really good player for you know,

136
00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:33,520
Speaker 1: for the Colts. But man, I mean his his numbers

137
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:35,720
Speaker 1: was compared to all those guys that were selected ahead

138
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:37,440
Speaker 1: of him, you couldn't add him up and have a

139
00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:39,480
Speaker 1: better guy than what you had with Jason Witten. So

140
00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:42,480
Speaker 1: we got very fortunate draft. Guard gods were smiling on

141
00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:44,360
Speaker 1: us that day that he happened to be there when

142
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:46,040
Speaker 1: it was our turn to pick. Do you remember the

143
00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:49,560
Speaker 1: guy from UCLA that year, Mike Seidman, Okay, yeah, yeah,

144
00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:52,960
Speaker 1: Parcelsa that was there was a discussion with Witton or

145
00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:56,800
Speaker 1: him in the third round. Yeah remember that? Yeah, yeah, exactly.

146
00:07:56,800 --> 00:08:01,720
Speaker 1: Well the discussion really, and I've said the story before

147
00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:05,040
Speaker 1: is that Jerry looked up at the board and looked

148
00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:07,080
Speaker 1: at Bill and says, we gotta take him, don't we.

149
00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:10,720
Speaker 1: I mean his tags there And this was really when

150
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:14,360
Speaker 1: we first started uh doing things with you know, with

151
00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:16,520
Speaker 1: the way setting the board in a way to where

152
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:19,360
Speaker 1: it was done by position, by round. And you know

153
00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:22,080
Speaker 1: Bill's line was always it looks like a you know,

154
00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:25,000
Speaker 1: a two day old Thanksgiving turkey. You know when the

155
00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:27,480
Speaker 1: board it gets picked off, everything gets picked off, and

156
00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:30,080
Speaker 1: you know, the board kind of tells you where you

157
00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:32,600
Speaker 1: need to go. And you know Jason went and there

158
00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:35,960
Speaker 1: was that was that tag and you're going, why yeah,

159
00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:39,120
Speaker 1: let's go this that's our guy. And he he was

160
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:41,439
Speaker 1: He was everything and more. You've heard me say that

161
00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:45,000
Speaker 1: he Bill had the vision, but he was everything and

162
00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:48,400
Speaker 1: more as far you know as we we didn't have

163
00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:51,440
Speaker 1: we we knew he was competitive, but we didn't know

164
00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:53,800
Speaker 1: he was this competitive, you know, we didn't know that

165
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:56,800
Speaker 1: the passion and the you know, you saw it at Tennessee.

166
00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:58,800
Speaker 1: I mean he was a defensive lineman at Tennessee. They

167
00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:01,280
Speaker 1: made a tight end out of and so, I mean

168
00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:04,800
Speaker 1: he's got that defensive mentality and we didn't evaluate that

169
00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:07,480
Speaker 1: correctly because he played with a lot of toughness for

170
00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:11,319
Speaker 1: fifteen years. So I wonder why he lasted that low.

171
00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:15,360
Speaker 1: It was it was, yeah, yeah, he did. He did.

172
00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:17,160
Speaker 1: And you can go back, Yeah, if you go back

173
00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:21,160
Speaker 1: and read Rick Goslin's uh, you know, from the former

174
00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:23,560
Speaker 1: Dallas Morning News and now this Hall of Fame radio.

175
00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:25,800
Speaker 1: Rick put out a thing. I tweeted this, if you

176
00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:28,280
Speaker 1: want to go back and read it. It talks about

177
00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:32,360
Speaker 1: what people said about him during that draft. And there

178
00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:35,679
Speaker 1: were position coaches that, hey, I don't see this up

179
00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:38,000
Speaker 1: the field, guy, I don't see this block, or I

180
00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:40,520
Speaker 1: don't see this time. There were a lot of comments

181
00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:45,320
Speaker 1: that were made about Witton that weren't very flattering. There

182
00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:48,280
Speaker 1: were a lot of people that questioned his ability, they

183
00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:53,000
Speaker 1: questioned his his presence on the field and all and

184
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:55,560
Speaker 1: and so yeah, I mean we had the grade we

185
00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:58,559
Speaker 1: did on him but if you read the comments from

186
00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:01,199
Speaker 1: a lot of those guys, a lot of those position coaches,

187
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:03,200
Speaker 1: a lot of those head coaches, a lot of those scouts,

188
00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:06,720
Speaker 1: it wasn't the most flattering. People liked L. J. Smith,

189
00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:10,320
Speaker 1: who the Eagles took, Mike Seidman at Carolina, you know,

190
00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:12,480
Speaker 1: Dallas Clark was a I mean there were there were

191
00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:15,400
Speaker 1: there were four or five different tight Ends that people

192
00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:19,040
Speaker 1: liked better than Witten, And again, a lot of the

193
00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:23,800
Speaker 1: evaluation about him was very, very poor, and that drove

194
00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:26,800
Speaker 1: people probably to go away from that way. I think

195
00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:30,040
Speaker 1: one of the most special things that I witnessed after

196
00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:32,600
Speaker 1: Witten's retirement was a lot of the outpour of support.

197
00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:35,079
Speaker 1: Of course, you know, I mentioned you guys wrote very

198
00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:38,000
Speaker 1: flattering columns and articles and shared a lot of your

199
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:40,120
Speaker 1: personal stories with them. But a lot of players are

200
00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:42,720
Speaker 1: not only on the team or that I've played with him,

201
00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:44,959
Speaker 1: but around the league. You know, it was interesting to

202
00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:47,320
Speaker 1: see Greg Olson shared that he was the first guy

203
00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:50,240
Speaker 1: that recruited him out of high school, right, you know,

204
00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:54,040
Speaker 1: and you don't realize that. Yeah, of course Greg ended

205
00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:56,280
Speaker 1: up going over to Miami, but it was neat to

206
00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:59,760
Speaker 1: see there's a relationship with tight ends that you see

207
00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:04,400
Speaker 1: across the NFL. They always respect one another. Zachert's you know,

208
00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:07,599
Speaker 1: sent out a message. I believe Kyle Rudolf from the

209
00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:11,440
Speaker 1: Vikings a number of guys who just are honored to

210
00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:14,000
Speaker 1: even be in the same conversation of him. He's one

211
00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:17,720
Speaker 1: of the true tight ends when they talk about the position.

212
00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:19,760
Speaker 1: He is a true tight end in a day and

213
00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:22,479
Speaker 1: age now where we really don't play with tight ends

214
00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:25,160
Speaker 1: that are in line or next to the tackle. I mean,

215
00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:27,120
Speaker 1: we played with a lot of guys that are upfield players,

216
00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:32,360
Speaker 1: flex players, detached players. Witton was a through throughout his career,

217
00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:34,240
Speaker 1: was a guy that could play in line, he could

218
00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:36,920
Speaker 1: play on the move, he could play flexed. You know,

219
00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:40,480
Speaker 1: he was making plays down the field when when people

220
00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:43,840
Speaker 1: were were you know, they were they were stealing. To say,

221
00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:46,959
Speaker 1: he's a throwbacks tight end in the way that they

222
00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:49,600
Speaker 1: traditionally played. I think that's where the guys like the

223
00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:52,839
Speaker 1: Greg Olsen's and the various tight ends around the league,

224
00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:56,600
Speaker 1: the Tyler Eiferts, guys like that respect him because he

225
00:11:56,720 --> 00:11:59,000
Speaker 1: did it that way. You know, those guys are like, Heck,

226
00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:00,199
Speaker 1: I don't know if I could get in there and

227
00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:03,199
Speaker 1: Russell with a defensive end. Heck, I was watching today

228
00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:06,760
Speaker 1: Jihad Ward, you know, and watching witten block in the

229
00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:09,640
Speaker 1: in the Oakland game, you know, and he's blocking on

230
00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:12,800
Speaker 1: Jihad Ward and he's he's taking care of him, and

231
00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:14,680
Speaker 1: I'm thinking, Okay, how many tight ends want to block

232
00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:17,520
Speaker 1: a two hundred and ninety six pound defensive end. And

233
00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:20,560
Speaker 1: Jason Wittenwood, you know, that's the difference between him and

234
00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:22,040
Speaker 1: a lot of guys. And I've said this before. That's

235
00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:24,120
Speaker 1: the thing. Another thing I respect about him is he

236
00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:27,360
Speaker 1: adapted his game when they got to Marco Murray going

237
00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:30,040
Speaker 1: and when they brought Zeke in, he wasn't the ninety

238
00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:33,079
Speaker 1: six catch guy anymore. He settled into that. I mean,

239
00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:34,880
Speaker 1: he was still a focal point, especially in the red

240
00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:38,040
Speaker 1: zone and stuff, but you know, that complimentary blocking role.

241
00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:39,839
Speaker 1: And we're talking about a guy that's probably going to

242
00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:41,400
Speaker 1: be a first ballot Hall of Famer, see, and he

243
00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:44,920
Speaker 1: has Parcels to thank for that, because Parcels had the

244
00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:48,840
Speaker 1: picture of what he absolutely he saw Mark Bavarro, Howard

245
00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:52,400
Speaker 1: Cross toward Cross those guys a guy that can block

246
00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:56,360
Speaker 1: but also catch the ball. And obviously, you know, in

247
00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:58,280
Speaker 1: this day and age, the tight ends all want to

248
00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:01,920
Speaker 1: catch the ball. And it was almost like the Dallas

249
00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:06,200
Speaker 1: Stars telling you know, madonno, hey, Hitch told him, I

250
00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:08,360
Speaker 1: want you to play defense too. I want you to

251
00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:11,719
Speaker 1: take on their best guy, and he molded him in

252
00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:13,840
Speaker 1: this vision that he had. And Bill did that with

253
00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:17,480
Speaker 1: Witten because you know, we remember that I told the

254
00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:20,880
Speaker 1: story a thousand times about him calling him a past

255
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:23,840
Speaker 1: catching tight end his rookie year when they came out

256
00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:27,520
Speaker 1: for that mini camp, and he said it very sarcastically,

257
00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:29,400
Speaker 1: like you know, I'm going to teach you to block,

258
00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:32,320
Speaker 1: and he did and he can't. And you can't find

259
00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:34,600
Speaker 1: those guys. That's why it's hard. Everybody says, how are

260
00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:37,000
Speaker 1: you going to replace Jason Witten? Well, you're not, because

261
00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:40,960
Speaker 1: it's the colleges aren't producing those types of tight ends

262
00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:44,520
Speaker 1: at about and they come close. Sorry, they've maybe come

263
00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:47,520
Speaker 1: close with Schultz. I don't know if he can catch

264
00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:50,719
Speaker 1: the ball and run routes as well, but they liked

265
00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:52,920
Speaker 1: him because he can block, and maybe the other part

266
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:56,199
Speaker 1: comes around with those guys just aren't can't go down

267
00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:59,560
Speaker 1: to Texico to get one. Bill. Yeah, there weren't enough

268
00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:02,720
Speaker 1: stars on the Captain patch for as long as Jason

269
00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:05,560
Speaker 1: Witten was a captain. Of course, they fill those stars

270
00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:08,520
Speaker 1: each year, but he had been a captain long over

271
00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:11,640
Speaker 1: those and to mention that, we're talking about how you

272
00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:14,400
Speaker 1: can replace him. Of course we'll get into Rob's Twitter

273
00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:17,000
Speaker 1: poll if you guys have gone at talking cowboys on

274
00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:19,480
Speaker 1: Twitter to vote in that. But how do you replace

275
00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:23,360
Speaker 1: that type of leadership and just the soul of the team. Really,

276
00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:25,280
Speaker 1: you know, if you guys have seen all or nothing,

277
00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:27,760
Speaker 1: you see the speeches he has. You see how many

278
00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:32,320
Speaker 1: times he's references his tough grit that he inspires everyone

279
00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:35,720
Speaker 1: around him. How do you even match that? Well, I

280
00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:37,680
Speaker 1: think that there's guys in that locker room that are

281
00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:40,200
Speaker 1: capable of it. And I think this is now where

282
00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:42,720
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott has to step up, even though he will

283
00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:45,320
Speaker 1: be a third year guy. It's really easy to sail.

284
00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:48,680
Speaker 1: The quarterback has to step up. But you know defense,

285
00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:51,240
Speaker 1: Sean Lee will step up and do what he has

286
00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:54,600
Speaker 1: to do. But I think on offense, though, it's going

287
00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:56,600
Speaker 1: to have to come from your quarterback. He's going to

288
00:14:56,680 --> 00:14:58,720
Speaker 1: have to be a different leader than what Tony Romo.

289
00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:02,120
Speaker 1: Tony Romo was a leader in a way of relying

290
00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:05,440
Speaker 1: on really on Jason Witten to be the leader. You know.

291
00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:08,760
Speaker 1: That's and now you know quarterbacks, he needs to come

292
00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:11,960
Speaker 1: in there and have the attitude of Okay, this is

293
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:14,600
Speaker 1: my team. Well I've got to do this. I've got

294
00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:16,680
Speaker 1: to step up. I've got to make people accountable. I

295
00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:20,240
Speaker 1: think that's where Jason Witten being a leader is one thing.

296
00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:22,800
Speaker 1: But I think that you have to make players around

297
00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:25,600
Speaker 1: you accountable. And but you have to be accountable for yourself,

298
00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:28,560
Speaker 1: you know. And I think that's where Prescott is capable

299
00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:32,160
Speaker 1: of that. Offensively, he can't, you know, the offensive lineman

300
00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:34,160
Speaker 1: have always been You're not going to get you know,

301
00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:36,880
Speaker 1: Tyron Smith. Tyren Smith is a leader in his way,

302
00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:39,600
Speaker 1: in a quiet way, a leader by example. I think

303
00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:43,760
Speaker 1: Prescott is going to be the emotional leader, the verbal

304
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:47,400
Speaker 1: leader at what the team needs. So they've got guys,

305
00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:50,040
Speaker 1: you know, like I say, Travis Frederick can be a leader.

306
00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:52,840
Speaker 1: They've got Zack Martin that can be a leader. You know,

307
00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:55,120
Speaker 1: They've got guys that are capable of stepping up. But

308
00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:58,440
Speaker 1: they need that quarterback on the offense especially to step

309
00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:00,520
Speaker 1: up and be the leader. Yeah, Tyren Smith will speak

310
00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:02,520
Speaker 1: up when needed to. But I think you're right. I

311
00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:04,960
Speaker 1: think the linemen are more. They're just have so much

312
00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:06,960
Speaker 1: respect in the locker room for how they go about

313
00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:10,080
Speaker 1: their business. You know, Witton did that, and he also

314
00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:11,720
Speaker 1: we saw it, like you said, town all or nothing,

315
00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:14,000
Speaker 1: like in the middle of that awful three game losing streak,

316
00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:15,640
Speaker 1: it was him in the meeting room trying to get

317
00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:18,720
Speaker 1: guys don't give in, don't give in. I don't know

318
00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:21,680
Speaker 1: if they have a true vocal guy day in day

319
00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:24,640
Speaker 1: out right now, but yeah, I think Dak's the natural

320
00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:26,960
Speaker 1: fit because Dak can. We've seen it with Dak. He

321
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:29,440
Speaker 1: can connect with anybody in that locker room and he's

322
00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:32,040
Speaker 1: a quarterback, so he gets a natural place and you've

323
00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:34,520
Speaker 1: got to earn it though, and it just does somebody

324
00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:38,280
Speaker 1: don't just say, Okay, I'm the guy. I think Dak's

325
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:41,360
Speaker 1: the most likely one. If you look at everybody that's

326
00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:46,240
Speaker 1: not an offensive lineman our land Buddy's left right, and

327
00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:48,640
Speaker 1: if you think about it, you know, Michael Irvin was

328
00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:51,240
Speaker 1: that guy for the Cowboys over all those years, and

329
00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:54,560
Speaker 1: he gets hurt and there was a gap from nineteen

330
00:16:54,680 --> 00:17:00,200
Speaker 1: ninety nine till Witten kind of took over, but he

331
00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:02,560
Speaker 1: didn't take over as a rookie. He didn't take over

332
00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:05,439
Speaker 1: his second year. Maybe it was his third year or

333
00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:09,879
Speaker 1: fourth year when he actually starts producing and people go, okay,

334
00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:13,240
Speaker 1: let's follow that guy. So it's not anybody's going to

335
00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:15,320
Speaker 1: raise their hand and go okay, I'm taken over for way.

336
00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:17,119
Speaker 1: Let me ask you this out of the question, hell

337
00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:18,960
Speaker 1: take I'll take this one. Is that the question of

338
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:22,239
Speaker 1: a guy like Cole Beasley as a leader is that

339
00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:25,160
Speaker 1: out of the question, And just as the way of

340
00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:28,959
Speaker 1: maybe maybe, and it's to a point of Rob's you know,

341
00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:31,280
Speaker 1: it's a point of a player that seems to get

342
00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:34,240
Speaker 1: along with everybody in the locker room. And he's also

343
00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:36,280
Speaker 1: been here a while. Yeah, he's been here, and maybe

344
00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:39,480
Speaker 1: maybe it's time where he and Dak. I don't think

345
00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:44,600
Speaker 1: I see. I see leadership with Elliott more through play,

346
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:48,560
Speaker 1: you know, physical play than I do being outspoken and

347
00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:51,320
Speaker 1: all that. But maybe Cole Beasley is a guy that

348
00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:54,359
Speaker 1: you'll see see starts stepping up a little more, making

349
00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:56,880
Speaker 1: more people accountable for what they're doing in the group.

350
00:17:56,920 --> 00:17:59,399
Speaker 1: Because he's a guy that I've kind of noticed if

351
00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:01,600
Speaker 1: you watch the the thing that it's not afraid to

352
00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:04,679
Speaker 1: say something. He's not afraid to say, hey, listen, this

353
00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:06,760
Speaker 1: needs to be done differently or something needs to be

354
00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:10,919
Speaker 1: and I thot Tyrone Crawford, I think that I'm just

355
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:13,480
Speaker 1: like kind of thinking about offensively more right now because

356
00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:17,520
Speaker 1: I think Sean Lee will defense and Shaun Lee can't

357
00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:20,119
Speaker 1: be in both meeting rooms. So if you get Tyron

358
00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:23,520
Speaker 1: Crawford is a good I kind of always thought, uh,

359
00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:26,560
Speaker 1: you know that that he was a guy that people

360
00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:29,520
Speaker 1: respected in that room. He played through injury. You know,

361
00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:32,600
Speaker 1: he's kind of seen the highs the lows, uh you know,

362
00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:34,520
Speaker 1: but Sean Lee was always going to take care of

363
00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:37,240
Speaker 1: things on defensive. I think the leadership and the believe

364
00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:39,119
Speaker 1: it or not is going to come from this is

365
00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:41,720
Speaker 1: gonna sound funny because it's not a player. I think

366
00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:45,400
Speaker 1: that Chris Rashard is going to be a leader and

367
00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:48,159
Speaker 1: and hear me out on this. I think he's the

368
00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:50,600
Speaker 1: one just talking to John Snyder about the type of

369
00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:53,320
Speaker 1: personality in a room. I mean, he could go in

370
00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:56,359
Speaker 1: there and get those guys rallied up. John was like, man,

371
00:18:56,440 --> 00:18:59,280
Speaker 1: you're gonna love this guy. The way he makes people accountable.

372
00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:02,399
Speaker 1: I think that's leader ship is make people accountable. And

373
00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:05,960
Speaker 1: maybe that's not always the player, but maybe a coach

374
00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:08,399
Speaker 1: steps in there and says, hey, listen, well, you guys,

375
00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:10,360
Speaker 1: I'm going to tell you how this needs to be done.

376
00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:12,920
Speaker 1: Christoph Shard's got skins on the wall too. I mean,

377
00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:16,680
Speaker 1: he coached and raised so many young guys back there. Yeah,

378
00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:18,800
Speaker 1: I mean, but that legion of boom, that's one of

379
00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:22,719
Speaker 1: the best defensive secondaries we've seen in the last twenty years, right,

380
00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:25,360
Speaker 1: and he helped grow that thing. So I think, yeah,

381
00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:28,720
Speaker 1: that's natural respect there him coming in absolutely Well, let's

382
00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:30,600
Speaker 1: take our first break here. When we come back, we

383

443
00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:49,160
Speaker 1: coming back into the building. Of course, Layton Vanderash Connor

444
00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:51,600
Speaker 1: Williams made their way over to the Star already, but

445
00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:56,359
Speaker 1: they will be officially welcomed to the Star as Dallas Cowboys,

446
00:22:56,520 --> 00:23:01,399
Speaker 1: arriving probably Thursday afternoon, nothing really, probably meeting around and

447
00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:04,280
Speaker 1: then Friday and Saturday having their rookie mini camp. But

448
00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:08,439
Speaker 1: it's basically now just a teaching session. It's kind of

449
00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:12,120
Speaker 1: similar down yeah, it used to be where we used

450
00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:15,199
Speaker 1: to beat the living daylight. They would we'd see how

451
00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:17,480
Speaker 1: many guys could get sick during a practice. That was

452
00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:21,920
Speaker 1: kind of a thing that we were doing there for. Yeah,

453
00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:24,920
Speaker 1: but and that was without an indoor facility as well,

454
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:26,600
Speaker 1: so that was kind of one of those things. But yeah,

455
00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:29,520
Speaker 1: it's it's more now about kind of getting guys acclimated

456
00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:34,240
Speaker 1: to what's going on and what happens. Just my experience

457
00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:38,359
Speaker 1: of handling this, I'm really happy he went two weeks

458
00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:41,840
Speaker 1: after the draft. I think that's really the right way

459
00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:43,639
Speaker 1: to go. You bring these guys in the week after

460
00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:45,880
Speaker 1: they mean, they have not been working out at all.

461
00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:49,240
Speaker 1: Guys have done there that then their pro days, they've

462
00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:52,000
Speaker 1: worked out for teams. You know, now they're getting refer

463
00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:55,240
Speaker 1: a draft to get drafted, So no sense of bringing

464
00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:57,800
Speaker 1: somebody in here. We saw what you know, could happen

465
00:23:57,920 --> 00:24:00,600
Speaker 1: with all the hamstrings that happened last year, and it

466
00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:04,680
Speaker 1: robs some of those kids opportunities to play and to

467
00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:07,440
Speaker 1: get ready for training camp, and so it hurt. So

468
00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:09,159
Speaker 1: the smart thing is to kind of get them in,

469
00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:11,800
Speaker 1: get them acclimated, let them lift, let them get back

470
00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:14,640
Speaker 1: into some shape, and then kind of figure things out,

471
00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:16,800
Speaker 1: work with them mentally. Their heads are going to be

472
00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:19,800
Speaker 1: spinning as is. It's a pretty fast paced thing as

473
00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:22,800
Speaker 1: we all know. So I like the way it's the

474
00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:25,240
Speaker 1: teaching aspect of it. When you have the big mini

475
00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:27,400
Speaker 1: camps and stuff with all the veterans, I think that's

476
00:24:27,400 --> 00:24:29,920
Speaker 1: a good opportunity to let these guys go and get

477
00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:31,800
Speaker 1: some work. And they give teams the option. I mean,

478
00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:33,840
Speaker 1: they could have had the mini camp last week, right,

479
00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:35,959
Speaker 1: but you know it's it's smart. Let them get their

480
00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:38,480
Speaker 1: feet underneath them and look like, getch their breath. Yeah,

481
00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:41,200
Speaker 1: they've been on a job interview for the last four

482
00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:44,320
Speaker 1: months exactly, so you know, an OTA start up in

483
00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:46,119
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks anyway, that's when it's really gonna

484
00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:48,240
Speaker 1: get going. They're gonna be in there with the vets,

485
00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:51,040
Speaker 1: so let them, let them acclimate. And there's another part

486
00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:54,000
Speaker 1: to that too. There's no sense bringing them in for

487
00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:56,960
Speaker 1: a weekend and then sending them home and then the

488
00:24:57,040 --> 00:24:59,800
Speaker 1: next week you got to bring them back yea or

489
00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:02,800
Speaker 1: two weeks later for the start of OTAs. So now

490
00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:06,840
Speaker 1: they can stay what May sixteenth, whatever the date is,

491
00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:09,520
Speaker 1: that Monday, and they don't have to go back unless

492
00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:13,600
Speaker 1: they're on quarter systems in college. So you actually save

493
00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:16,840
Speaker 1: some money too. Yeah, yeah, absolutely, to give to Taylor

494
00:25:17,160 --> 00:25:20,440
Speaker 1: to give. That's usually where it goes right right. Yeah,

495
00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:23,520
Speaker 1: it's it's so kind of them to do that. But yes,

496
00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:25,520
Speaker 1: they get to come in here. I think some of them.

497
00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:28,160
Speaker 1: It's kind of funny, you know, Um, they do get

498
00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:29,879
Speaker 1: to meet some of the players that might just be

499
00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:32,560
Speaker 1: around in the building. Because I remember last year and

500
00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:34,760
Speaker 1: Ryan Switzer got here, the first guy you met was

501
00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:38,360
Speaker 1: Colt Easily. Now, the funny thing is is when they

502
00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:40,600
Speaker 1: go out and have that rookie minicamp, all of a sudden,

503
00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:45,680
Speaker 1: the watching like, okay, let me see what I'm up against, right,

504
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:48,679
Speaker 1: And it's been that's been going on for years, you know,

505
00:25:49,119 --> 00:25:51,480
Speaker 1: speaking of that again, this might be change a little.

506
00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:55,080
Speaker 1: I'll try and make it quick about these veteran quarterbacks

507
00:25:55,320 --> 00:25:57,119
Speaker 1: around the league. You know, there's some guys that have

508
00:25:57,200 --> 00:26:00,159
Speaker 1: been drafted, have been Roethlisberger. What was going on with

509
00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:04,679
Speaker 1: that pick? Yeah, Ben Roethlisberger not too happy with you know,

510
00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:08,800
Speaker 1: with Mason Rudolph and drafted. He's basically saying, ah, you know,

511
00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:10,800
Speaker 1: if if he asked me a question, I'll point to

512
00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:14,920
Speaker 1: the playbook where when Ben Roethlisberger came in, Tommy Maddox

513
00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:18,240
Speaker 1: helped him every single day that he was a rookie,

514
00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:20,000
Speaker 1: you know, and he said, hey, I wouldn't be here

515
00:26:20,040 --> 00:26:23,840
Speaker 1: today without Just find it funny the veteran quarterbacks that

516
00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:27,080
Speaker 1: are kind of guy in Baltimore is the same way

517
00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:29,920
Speaker 1: it's been. Hadn't been like that forever Montana and young

518
00:26:29,960 --> 00:26:32,480
Speaker 1: didn't like you know, this isn't mean, this isn't this

519
00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:36,880
Speaker 1: isn't that movie with al Paccino. What's it any given Sunday?

520
00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:39,800
Speaker 1: You know, with a veteran quarterback, you know, Cap doesn't

521
00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:43,680
Speaker 1: want to help anybody whatever. You know. I think that's

522
00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:46,080
Speaker 1: in more positions than just quarterback. I know that. Yeah,

523
00:26:46,119 --> 00:26:48,719
Speaker 1: but it's the one that people talk about. And you know,

524
00:26:48,760 --> 00:26:50,679
Speaker 1: and again a guy's trying to take your job. You

525
00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:53,399
Speaker 1: know what. Listen here, Roethlisberger, you had a hell of

526
00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:55,600
Speaker 1: a run. Joe Flacker, you've had a hell of a run.

527
00:26:55,920 --> 00:26:58,920
Speaker 1: You know, try trying, yeah, try and have a little

528
00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:02,080
Speaker 1: you know. And here yeah, you know, and I get

529
00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:05,000
Speaker 1: what you're saying because he's a Steeler for life, right

530
00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:07,680
Speaker 1: and they've stood behind him through stuff. So sure this help,

531
00:27:07,840 --> 00:27:10,280
Speaker 1: This helps the organization going forward. If you have this

532
00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:13,120
Speaker 1: young guy, don't question. Oh I wonder a third round

533
00:27:13,160 --> 00:27:15,280
Speaker 1: you could have picked a player that could have could

534
00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:19,560
Speaker 1: have helped the team win. Now you know what, shut up? Yeah.

535
00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:22,720
Speaker 1: I was always actually I was always surprised about the

536
00:27:22,760 --> 00:27:25,440
Speaker 1: guys that picked the quarterbacks can replace you get ready,

537
00:27:25,520 --> 00:27:27,960
Speaker 1: the guys that went the other way and actually helped

538
00:27:28,040 --> 00:27:31,880
Speaker 1: the newcomers out. And it's like, why are you doing that?

539
00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:34,840
Speaker 1: Guys coming here to take your job, and it's like, well,

540
00:27:34,960 --> 00:27:37,560
Speaker 1: it's going to make the team better. Yeah, And that

541
00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:40,800
Speaker 1: was their thought process going through that. And it happens

542
00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:43,160
Speaker 1: every year, and I think it goes both ways, but

543
00:27:43,840 --> 00:27:46,120
Speaker 1: this is the first time I've seen it so outspoken.

544
00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:51,280
Speaker 1: Oh no, well, Ben Roethlisberg, I'm serious. Ben Roethlisberger was

545
00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:54,200
Speaker 1: helped by Tommy Maddox. Tommy Maddox was not. I mean

546
00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:57,399
Speaker 1: Tommy Max was a Blacksmith quarterback. He wasn't. There was

547
00:27:57,440 --> 00:28:00,720
Speaker 1: anything great about Tommy Man. But what Tommy Maddox Mark

548
00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:03,520
Speaker 1: Sanchez trying to help Dak you know, I mean, if

549
00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:07,040
Speaker 1: you're a starting quarterback, there's no there's no Brett Farve

550
00:28:07,119 --> 00:28:11,560
Speaker 1: didn't help Aaron Rodgers at all, you know, and so

551
00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:16,400
Speaker 1: why competition? I don't care. All right, Well, we're going

552
00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:18,440
Speaker 1: to the phone lines of course, you guys can always

553
00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:20,720
Speaker 1: call us the numbers eight eight eight eight five five

554
00:28:20,840 --> 00:28:23,480
Speaker 1: two two ninety seven also on the screen over there,

555
00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:26,400
Speaker 1: but we have Jack from California on the line. What's

556
00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:30,280
Speaker 1: up Jack? Hey, Hey, guys doing it's from Arizona. Actually sorry,

557
00:28:30,320 --> 00:28:33,000
Speaker 1: we have a battle between California. We're the better of

558
00:28:33,040 --> 00:28:35,280
Speaker 1: the two states. But anyway, I didn't know that battle.

559
00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:39,080
Speaker 1: It's a big one. You get all their southern California

560
00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:42,080
Speaker 1: people come over to Arizona. But my question is for

561
00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:48,520
Speaker 1: um um any of us. Brian, Yeah, well exactly, Brian

562
00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:51,720
Speaker 1: and Mickey especially. This was something that you guys just

563
00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:54,280
Speaker 1: recently brought up, and I was just curious. You talked

564
00:28:54,280 --> 00:28:56,560
Speaker 1: about the mini camps and the OTAs and things like that,

565
00:28:56,680 --> 00:28:58,240
Speaker 1: and this is something that I've been noticing over the

566
00:28:58,360 --> 00:29:01,200
Speaker 1: last couple of years. And my question is, with the

567
00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:04,960
Speaker 1: soft tissue problems that our players are having, is this

568
00:29:05,320 --> 00:29:08,400
Speaker 1: a lack of conditioning on their part or is this

569
00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:12,640
Speaker 1: an over working on our coaches and strengthening, because I've

570
00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:14,600
Speaker 1: heard a lot about how we make our guys run

571
00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:17,440
Speaker 1: a ton and they're always pulling up on their hammies,

572
00:29:17,840 --> 00:29:20,960
Speaker 1: and we've got guys like Cheeto and Jordan Lewis and

573
00:29:21,040 --> 00:29:23,520
Speaker 1: even Cold Easley last year was even hurt. And I

574
00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:25,560
Speaker 1: think Ryan Switz was even hurt. And it seems to

575
00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:28,200
Speaker 1: be a very common thing, is that all these guys

576
00:29:28,240 --> 00:29:30,760
Speaker 1: are coming in unconditioned or is it we're just over

577
00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:33,480
Speaker 1: exerting them too much and trying to trying to bring

578
00:29:33,520 --> 00:29:38,200
Speaker 1: them up too fast. I'll hang up and listen. Thank you, guys, Hammies.

579
00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:43,120
Speaker 1: It had been both. Guy Brian just explained how these

580
00:29:43,200 --> 00:29:50,800
Speaker 1: guys for since January February, they're they're training for the combine,

581
00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:55,400
Speaker 1: they're training for personal workouts, they're not training to play football.

582
00:29:56,800 --> 00:30:03,560
Speaker 1: And then they're taking trips, you know, chicken dinners, banquets,

583
00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:07,600
Speaker 1: name it so. And then you get him here and

584
00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:10,120
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, oh, I gotta go play football,

585
00:30:10,120 --> 00:30:12,160
Speaker 1: and I gotta cut. I'm not running just a forty

586
00:30:12,240 --> 00:30:15,680
Speaker 1: yard dash and they're not ready for that. And then

587
00:30:15,760 --> 00:30:19,160
Speaker 1: you overwork them. Plus you send them out there, and

588
00:30:19,280 --> 00:30:21,360
Speaker 1: the trainers will tell you this to the end of

589
00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:23,920
Speaker 1: the earth. So I'm gonna send these guys out there

590
00:30:24,160 --> 00:30:28,880
Speaker 1: with a helmet, a jersey and shorts and let's go

591
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:31,400
Speaker 1: play football. And we're gonna go up against each other

592
00:30:31,680 --> 00:30:35,480
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna start diving for passes or I'm diving

593
00:30:35,520 --> 00:30:38,280
Speaker 1: to break one up. I don't have shoulder pads on sure,

594
00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:41,760
Speaker 1: and now I'm gonna hurt my shoulder. So the whole

595
00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:45,760
Speaker 1: concept of that rookie mini camp, you know, and you

596
00:30:45,840 --> 00:30:49,280
Speaker 1: know the media watching and think about Dez Bryant's first day.

597
00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:53,400
Speaker 1: He lost his breakfast or lunch or whatever. All of

598
00:30:53,400 --> 00:30:56,200
Speaker 1: a sudden it is, oh see does not in shape.

599
00:30:56,240 --> 00:31:01,680
Speaker 1: And it started right there the first day, the scrutiny,

600
00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:05,320
Speaker 1: and so yeah, I just think this is the smartest

601
00:31:05,360 --> 00:31:08,240
Speaker 1: way to do it. Let these guys come in, have

602
00:31:08,360 --> 00:31:10,800
Speaker 1: it kind of more of a teaching session on the field,

603
00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:13,840
Speaker 1: and then before they start OTAs and start doing this,

604
00:31:14,040 --> 00:31:17,080
Speaker 1: they'll have two weeks. It's like that day before you

605
00:31:17,160 --> 00:31:20,160
Speaker 1: started high school. The freshman would come in and kind

606
00:31:20,160 --> 00:31:24,760
Speaker 1: of see where their classes war, see where the building orientation.

607
00:31:24,920 --> 00:31:27,600
Speaker 1: It's it's a little orientation for them to see, Okay,

608
00:31:27,680 --> 00:31:29,760
Speaker 1: if I'm going to the room, it's over here, and

609
00:31:30,320 --> 00:31:32,959
Speaker 1: get your helmet, ride and meet everybody. I don't think

610
00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:36,080
Speaker 1: players have enough time off myself. Oh they don't. I don't,

611
00:31:36,160 --> 00:31:38,040
Speaker 1: And this is what I would do. And if there

612
00:31:38,120 --> 00:31:40,640
Speaker 1: was some way to do this. There's all this work

613
00:31:40,760 --> 00:31:43,640
Speaker 1: that's put into these mini camps, OTAs and all that

614
00:31:43,840 --> 00:31:45,360
Speaker 1: getting to this point where the guys are in the

615
00:31:45,440 --> 00:31:47,800
Speaker 1: best shape of the of the summer. They're in the

616
00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:51,760
Speaker 1: best shape of the summer June fourteenth of June sixteenth,

617
00:31:52,080 --> 00:31:53,600
Speaker 1: and then they got a month off and then they

618
00:31:53,640 --> 00:31:55,760
Speaker 1: come back to camp. I totally agree with you. Yeah,

619
00:31:55,920 --> 00:31:58,920
Speaker 1: I would figure out a way to a backsh it

620
00:31:59,040 --> 00:32:02,400
Speaker 1: all back in. Have your mini camps two weeks before

621
00:32:02,480 --> 00:32:05,160
Speaker 1: training camp, so you kind of get an idea. Okay,

622
00:32:05,520 --> 00:32:08,600
Speaker 1: but you're giving your guys more time off, but you're

623
00:32:08,680 --> 00:32:11,160
Speaker 1: also going in from mini camp to say a week

624
00:32:11,280 --> 00:32:13,440
Speaker 1: off to let's go get on a plane and then

625
00:32:13,520 --> 00:32:15,440
Speaker 1: go to Oxnard. Yeah, if you don't want to, you're

626
00:32:15,440 --> 00:32:17,400
Speaker 1: not saying that all the work leading up to June

627
00:32:17,480 --> 00:32:20,720
Speaker 1: mid June is wasted. But you know, guys are off

628
00:32:21,120 --> 00:32:24,360
Speaker 1: at that point for an entire month, six weeks. Yeah,

629
00:32:24,400 --> 00:32:26,200
Speaker 1: and you're you know, you're working out on your own.

630
00:32:26,240 --> 00:32:28,920
Speaker 1: Maybe you're working out really but yeah, yeah, you know

631
00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:31,120
Speaker 1: you're trying. I'm trying. You're trying to get your last

632
00:32:31,760 --> 00:32:34,920
Speaker 1: breath before everything hits the fan. And the sin, the

633
00:32:35,040 --> 00:32:36,960
Speaker 1: sin of this whole thing is as well, this is

634
00:32:37,040 --> 00:32:39,160
Speaker 1: the way we always used to do it. Well, the

635
00:32:39,280 --> 00:32:41,360
Speaker 1: way you always used to do it wasn't really and

636
00:32:41,480 --> 00:32:44,560
Speaker 1: we can go back to I remember Patrick Creighton coming

637
00:32:44,640 --> 00:32:48,600
Speaker 1: in here as a rookie free agent, seventh round pick.

638
00:32:48,720 --> 00:32:52,840
Speaker 1: Seventh round. Yeah, okay, same thing, uh, and he's got

639
00:32:52,920 --> 00:32:58,240
Speaker 1: planner fasciitis, and he was not gonna take himself out.

640
00:32:58,720 --> 00:33:01,760
Speaker 1: This is Bill Parcels, and I gotta shoo Bill Parcels.

641
00:33:01,840 --> 00:33:05,120
Speaker 1: I'm tough, right, And he for two days after he

642
00:33:05,200 --> 00:33:08,400
Speaker 1: did it. The first day he's pushing through it. He's limping,

643
00:33:08,880 --> 00:33:11,560
Speaker 1: and I remember asking him, I said, what are you doing?

644
00:33:11,840 --> 00:33:13,800
Speaker 1: You know? And he goes, well, I can't let Bill

645
00:33:13,920 --> 00:33:16,320
Speaker 1: think I'm soft. And it's like, well, okay, now you

646
00:33:16,480 --> 00:33:19,000
Speaker 1: got this foot until you go to training camp. Yeah

647
00:33:19,080 --> 00:33:21,280
Speaker 1: that's that's might have got him on the team. Well

648
00:33:21,440 --> 00:33:25,680
Speaker 1: maybe I know, but you know, well then we can

649
00:33:25,760 --> 00:33:28,520
Speaker 1: go last year. Yeah kind of impression those guys. I

650
00:33:28,600 --> 00:33:31,240
Speaker 1: would I would I would give I would give teams

651
00:33:31,360 --> 00:33:33,280
Speaker 1: more time off on the front end. You need to

652
00:33:33,320 --> 00:33:36,920
Speaker 1: be the commission. That's the no. No, he needs to

653
00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:40,080
Speaker 1: be on the nfl PA when they come up with

654
00:33:40,200 --> 00:33:44,240
Speaker 1: these CBA job. Well, how about this though, And Mickey

655
00:33:44,280 --> 00:33:46,480
Speaker 1: and you guys remember this. I mean, Mickey and I

656
00:33:46,560 --> 00:33:48,640
Speaker 1: are much older than you guys, but we remember when

657
00:33:48,680 --> 00:33:50,560
Speaker 1: they had two a day practices. He covered one of

658
00:33:50,560 --> 00:33:54,280
Speaker 1: the most brutal practices training camps I've ever witnessed myself.

659
00:33:54,320 --> 00:33:56,160
Speaker 1: I was in an NFL Europe. He was in Austin

660
00:33:56,800 --> 00:34:02,680
Speaker 1: in nineteen ninety one, ninety two, that area. Yeah, and

661
00:34:02,720 --> 00:34:04,960
Speaker 1: they were, and they were. They were every day, full

662
00:34:05,040 --> 00:34:08,560
Speaker 1: padded practices. Heck, we were in we were in Wichita Falls,

663
00:34:08,680 --> 00:34:13,000
Speaker 1: full pridded practices every day. And today the collective bargaining

664
00:34:13,080 --> 00:34:16,400
Speaker 1: actually gives the players a break with the way practices are,

665
00:34:16,960 --> 00:34:19,520
Speaker 1: but they don't give them enough time off. I mean this,

666
00:34:20,040 --> 00:34:24,040
Speaker 1: this seventeen weeks is a grind for these players. It's

667
00:34:24,120 --> 00:34:26,000
Speaker 1: it's hard on their bodies, and we don't what do

668
00:34:26,080 --> 00:34:28,480
Speaker 1: we do. We give them a couple months off, and

669
00:34:28,520 --> 00:34:30,440
Speaker 1: then all of a sudden, players start filtering back in

670
00:34:30,600 --> 00:34:33,239
Speaker 1: working out, and then we're like, okay, let's let's have

671
00:34:33,440 --> 00:34:37,120
Speaker 1: pursuit drill. You know. Rod Marinelli blows a whistle and everybody,

672
00:34:37,280 --> 00:34:39,239
Speaker 1: all eleven guys take off running to the corner of

673
00:34:39,280 --> 00:34:40,960
Speaker 1: the end zone. Trying to chase the ball and you

674
00:34:41,040 --> 00:34:43,480
Speaker 1: got full on sprint. If you're if you're the one

675
00:34:43,520 --> 00:34:46,640
Speaker 1: guy lagging behind, well full of the whistle, everybody go back,

676
00:34:46,719 --> 00:34:49,000
Speaker 1: do it again and now you're full on sprint again.

677
00:34:49,520 --> 00:34:52,160
Speaker 1: And to me, you're like, and again I'm not talking

678
00:34:52,200 --> 00:34:54,800
Speaker 1: about toughness factor at all, but you don't help the

679
00:34:54,880 --> 00:34:57,960
Speaker 1: players at all with the period of time. I mean,

680
00:34:58,040 --> 00:35:01,640
Speaker 1: they they were full on and like Rob says, June fourteenth,

681
00:35:01,719 --> 00:35:04,160
Speaker 1: we're all like, okay, we'll see you next month. Yeah,

682
00:35:04,200 --> 00:35:06,400
Speaker 1: we'll see on the playing Knox Nord. And you're like,

683
00:35:06,719 --> 00:35:09,840
Speaker 1: you lose every bit of conditioning that you have. And

684
00:35:09,960 --> 00:35:13,120
Speaker 1: guess what the first thing you do after he had

685
00:35:13,200 --> 00:35:15,279
Speaker 1: a month off the first day of training camp, what

686
00:35:15,360 --> 00:35:19,319
Speaker 1: did they do? Conditioning test? Conditioning test? Seriously, well, let's

687
00:35:19,320 --> 00:35:23,000
Speaker 1: go run seventeen one tenth? What it is? One? Go ahead?

688
00:35:23,280 --> 00:35:26,920
Speaker 1: No Hamburgers. There you go. Yeah, he's up on that um.

689
00:35:27,239 --> 00:35:29,160
Speaker 1: But that is one reason why Garrett, you know, it

690
00:35:29,280 --> 00:35:31,680
Speaker 1: kind of eases and changed a couple of days. But

691
00:35:31,760 --> 00:35:33,200
Speaker 1: to what Brian said, it is kind of a no

692
00:35:33,320 --> 00:35:36,160
Speaker 1: in situation because the CBA they did cut back on

693
00:35:36,239 --> 00:35:38,440
Speaker 1: the amount of work they're trying to protect the players.

694
00:35:38,600 --> 00:35:41,160
Speaker 1: They're not. But but you hear coaches around the league

695
00:35:41,160 --> 00:35:43,600
Speaker 1: have said I don't and there's more injuries and they talk,

696
00:35:43,840 --> 00:35:46,400
Speaker 1: maybe our guys aren't really ready to play football because

697
00:35:46,560 --> 00:35:48,320
Speaker 1: there's not enough time on the field. It is a

698
00:35:48,400 --> 00:35:50,920
Speaker 1: physical game. You gotta adapt to your body to that.

699
00:35:51,320 --> 00:35:54,359
Speaker 1: So I don't know what you do. I'm with you, though,

700
00:35:54,360 --> 00:35:56,759
Speaker 1: on pushing it back, because you lose five weeks of

701
00:35:56,800 --> 00:35:58,920
Speaker 1: work and then and then you start have you sat there?

702
00:35:59,120 --> 00:36:02,000
Speaker 1: We've all done this in Oxnard. Every time a players

703
00:36:02,080 --> 00:36:03,960
Speaker 1: laying on the field, we all just look at each

704
00:36:03,960 --> 00:36:06,920
Speaker 1: other like, oh no, oh no, yeah, you know, I mean,

705
00:36:07,040 --> 00:36:09,319
Speaker 1: as it should as your season, you know, and you're thinking,

706
00:36:09,440 --> 00:36:11,839
Speaker 1: oh no, and in you're winnering, okay, then well he'll

707
00:36:11,880 --> 00:36:13,719
Speaker 1: be out with a hamstring injury. And then like a

708
00:36:13,800 --> 00:36:17,359
Speaker 1: guy again, like like Ryan Switzer. Ryan Switzer was very

709
00:36:17,400 --> 00:36:21,080
Speaker 1: effective throughout OTAs and mini camps. Right he gets to

710
00:36:21,200 --> 00:36:24,440
Speaker 1: training camp, he runs a route that somebody grabs the

711
00:36:24,520 --> 00:36:26,840
Speaker 1: back of his jersey, just stop him in a T

712
00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:29,960
Speaker 1: shirt and helmet drill and what happens he yanks is

713
00:36:30,040 --> 00:36:32,640
Speaker 1: hamstring and you're like, and now he's out the whole

714
00:36:33,239 --> 00:36:35,960
Speaker 1: training camp. Jordan Lewis. I mean, all these guys that

715
00:36:36,080 --> 00:36:38,520
Speaker 1: you can get the practice, and we need to figure

716
00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:41,040
Speaker 1: out something to give the players more time on the

717
00:36:41,160 --> 00:36:44,840
Speaker 1: front end and make ots and mini camps closer to

718
00:36:45,360 --> 00:36:47,840
Speaker 1: training camp, so you just transition from one end to

719
00:36:47,920 --> 00:36:49,959
Speaker 1: the other. Yeah. Before we go to our next break,

720
00:36:49,960 --> 00:36:52,080
Speaker 1: we're gonna hit the phone lines again. We have Paul

721
00:36:52,200 --> 00:36:55,680
Speaker 1: from New Jersey on the line. Paul, you're there, Yeah,

722
00:36:57,800 --> 00:37:03,120
Speaker 1: good morning. Big question, his uh Rico gathers. Do you

723
00:37:03,239 --> 00:37:06,279
Speaker 1: think he could develop into an end zone threat? Using

724
00:37:06,400 --> 00:37:10,520
Speaker 1: his height? How are you I would like him to

725
00:37:10,640 --> 00:37:14,560
Speaker 1: develop into a full tight end. Yeah, we saw that

726
00:37:14,800 --> 00:37:16,759
Speaker 1: a little bit in preseason. The guy can go up

727
00:37:16,760 --> 00:37:18,960
Speaker 1: and get the football. Yeah, he's a basketball player if

728
00:37:19,000 --> 00:37:20,680
Speaker 1: it's a jump ball. I see where you're going with

729
00:37:20,760 --> 00:37:23,680
Speaker 1: the call. But there's so much to playing this position.

730
00:37:23,719 --> 00:37:25,840
Speaker 1: That's what Jason witness. I see what he was on

731
00:37:25,960 --> 00:37:28,520
Speaker 1: a roll. If you remember the Arizona game, the Hall

732
00:37:28,560 --> 00:37:30,839
Speaker 1: of Fame game, you mean you're thinking like, all right, man,

733
00:37:30,920 --> 00:37:33,520
Speaker 1: this is this you know, there's some things getting it here,

734
00:37:33,920 --> 00:37:36,160
Speaker 1: and then he took that wicked hit. I think Rob,

735
00:37:36,239 --> 00:37:38,200
Speaker 1: you and I might have been doing training camp live

736
00:37:38,360 --> 00:37:39,839
Speaker 1: or something at that point. In time when he got

737
00:37:39,920 --> 00:37:41,959
Speaker 1: hit got hit, you know, they were he was diving

738
00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:44,480
Speaker 1: for the ball and Frasier catches him in the chin

739
00:37:44,680 --> 00:37:46,960
Speaker 1: and they and the shoulder area. It's a whiplash bat

740
00:37:47,040 --> 00:37:50,560
Speaker 1: it's a concussion. It's it's a terrible situation. But he's

741
00:37:50,560 --> 00:37:53,160
Speaker 1: out there working. I mean he I think you have

742
00:37:53,400 --> 00:37:56,759
Speaker 1: to find out what you have with him. Either it's

743
00:37:56,800 --> 00:37:59,000
Speaker 1: the old Fisher cut bay. You know, he's got to

744
00:37:59,040 --> 00:38:02,640
Speaker 1: do more than Yeah, five plays a game. Yeah, he's

745
00:38:02,680 --> 00:38:04,560
Speaker 1: gonna and like Taylor says, he's gonna have to become

746
00:38:04,600 --> 00:38:06,879
Speaker 1: more of a complete guy. And and and we'll see.

747
00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:09,960
Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's gonna be difficult. You know. Well

748
00:38:10,040 --> 00:38:12,680
Speaker 1: now that will this team for sure carry three quarterbacks?

749
00:38:13,280 --> 00:38:15,399
Speaker 1: You know. Yeah, that's the thing about it. Okay, if

750
00:38:15,440 --> 00:38:17,680
Speaker 1: you carry three quarterbacks, how many tight ends can you carry?

751
00:38:17,920 --> 00:38:21,640
Speaker 1: How many running backs can you carry? How many wide Receieah,

752
00:38:21,640 --> 00:38:23,399
Speaker 1: the numbers start to add up. So if you can't

753
00:38:23,440 --> 00:38:26,239
Speaker 1: be Rico Gathers and be the fourth tight end, you

754
00:38:26,320 --> 00:38:28,480
Speaker 1: can't be that guy. You've got to find a way

755
00:38:28,880 --> 00:38:32,120
Speaker 1: to position yourself to where you're the second or third guy. Yeah,

756
00:38:32,160 --> 00:38:33,799
Speaker 1: you know, and and you know I'm not saying he's

757
00:38:33,840 --> 00:38:35,680
Speaker 1: gonna be the first guy, but he's got to figure

758
00:38:35,680 --> 00:38:37,200
Speaker 1: out a way to be the second or third guy

759
00:38:37,280 --> 00:38:39,640
Speaker 1: and be reliable in that way. Brian just gave you

760
00:38:39,719 --> 00:38:42,680
Speaker 1: his vote for the poll he did or was that

761
00:38:43,520 --> 00:38:46,440
Speaker 1: I got, I'm gonna get to We're gonna get to. Well,

762
00:38:46,480 --> 00:38:48,239
Speaker 1: the hard part, the hard part is is the guy

763
00:38:48,320 --> 00:38:52,359
Speaker 1: hadn't played football for whatever eight years, right since junior high,

764
00:38:52,800 --> 00:38:55,080
Speaker 1: and then he comes here and now he hadn't played

765
00:38:55,120 --> 00:38:57,480
Speaker 1: the last two years. Yeah, and then you didn't have

766
00:38:57,560 --> 00:39:00,960
Speaker 1: any practice time last right, so where everybody thinks he's

767
00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:04,480
Speaker 1: just gonna walk out there and you know, he's we'll see,

768
00:39:04,600 --> 00:39:07,319
Speaker 1: and we'll see, we'll see. The OTA's always is one

769
00:39:07,360 --> 00:39:10,000
Speaker 1: of those great it's like a mirage. Sometimes you're like

770
00:39:10,120 --> 00:39:12,839
Speaker 1: the OTA guy. You're like, well, this guy's got it. Yeah,

771
00:39:12,960 --> 00:39:14,680
Speaker 1: he's gonna, you know, carry on to the camp. And

772
00:39:14,800 --> 00:39:16,920
Speaker 1: then you get out there in the Oxnard and we

773
00:39:16,960 --> 00:39:18,680
Speaker 1: all look at each other, Guy, who the hell is that?

774
00:39:19,239 --> 00:39:21,040
Speaker 1: I mean, what is he doing? You know kind of

775
00:39:21,080 --> 00:39:23,840
Speaker 1: a thing. Yeah, So let's hope that he can carry

776
00:39:23,920 --> 00:39:26,440
Speaker 1: some things from Ota. We saw it a little bit

777
00:39:26,520 --> 00:39:28,400
Speaker 1: with with Cheeto and some of the young guys. That

778
00:39:28,520 --> 00:39:31,160
Speaker 1: did get to participate in the OTAs. They were able

779
00:39:31,160 --> 00:39:33,200
Speaker 1: to carry some things into training camp and it actually

780
00:39:33,239 --> 00:39:35,960
Speaker 1: helped him into the season. I'm just hopeful that they

781
00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:39,480
Speaker 1: don't have that sophomore slump we saw anthy Brown. You know,

782
00:39:39,719 --> 00:39:43,279
Speaker 1: I know, I'm diverting another direction. He's all over the place.

783
00:39:43,400 --> 00:39:45,440
Speaker 1: But nanthy Brown was a guy that we thought the

784
00:39:45,480 --> 00:39:47,839
Speaker 1: sophomore year was gonna be you know, Wow, He's gonna

785
00:39:47,840 --> 00:39:50,600
Speaker 1: be great starter, you know, And now it's like he

786
00:39:50,680 --> 00:39:52,799
Speaker 1: had that sophomore year. You just hope that doesn't happen

787
00:39:53,160 --> 00:39:56,240
Speaker 1: with the Woozier and Lewis and those young guys Xavier

788

00:42:19,320 --> 00:42:23,400
Speaker 1: we're talking Cowboys as usual, we're talking Papa John's pizza

835

Speaker 1: because we know why it tastes so great. You know,

836

840
00:42:42,920 --> 00:42:49,160
Speaker 1: Papa John. What's ta Usta or USDA. I thought maybe

841
00:42:49,160 --> 00:42:52,560
Speaker 1: we're doing something like the United States Tennis Association. Oh,

842
00:42:52,760 --> 00:42:54,239
Speaker 1: by the way, we tell me a part of the

843
00:42:54,280 --> 00:42:58,680
Speaker 1: body that begins with the letter T. Yeah, drop seriously,

844
00:42:59,000 --> 00:43:02,439
Speaker 1: like by we went to that Mets game the other day. Yeah,

845
00:43:02,680 --> 00:43:04,400
Speaker 1: Arthur ash Tennyson are on the right. Yeah that it

846
00:43:04,520 --> 00:43:07,719
Speaker 1: was great. Love to the US favorite. I've tried, and

847
00:43:07,840 --> 00:43:10,520
Speaker 1: I've failed twice because I didn't have tickets before I

848
00:43:10,640 --> 00:43:12,799
Speaker 1: got there and train rides easy to get there. Then

849
00:43:12,880 --> 00:43:15,000
Speaker 1: I got there and the guy was going to sell

850
00:43:15,080 --> 00:43:17,239
Speaker 1: me one for four hundred dollars, and I said, I

851
00:43:17,320 --> 00:43:21,000
Speaker 1: didn't like to go, but can't do it. Next time.

852
00:43:21,760 --> 00:43:25,520
Speaker 1: This is a great story. Yeah's it go. We'll debate that. No,

853
00:43:25,680 --> 00:43:28,400
Speaker 1: it is. Next time. I went and I'm looking for

854
00:43:28,600 --> 00:43:34,120
Speaker 1: like three tickets, and I watched this guy. He was

855
00:43:34,360 --> 00:43:40,000
Speaker 1: walking people in to the ticket taker and they gave

856
00:43:40,080 --> 00:43:42,320
Speaker 1: him the tickets and Then the guy came back and

857
00:43:42,400 --> 00:43:45,160
Speaker 1: he found them another seven people and walked him in

858
00:43:45,600 --> 00:43:48,000
Speaker 1: and I'm watching and I went and listened to what

859
00:43:48,160 --> 00:43:51,839
Speaker 1: he was telling them. So for twenty bucks, he had

860
00:43:51,880 --> 00:43:54,760
Speaker 1: these tickets and they were going to the ticket taker

861
00:43:55,040 --> 00:43:58,600
Speaker 1: who was his uncle. His uncle would take the ticket,

862
00:43:59,160 --> 00:44:02,680
Speaker 1: he would not rip them, he'd he'd under the sly

863
00:44:03,000 --> 00:44:05,120
Speaker 1: hand him back to him. He would take the tickets

864
00:44:05,160 --> 00:44:08,400
Speaker 1: back out. And he gets seven more people and walked

865
00:44:08,480 --> 00:44:11,680
Speaker 1: him in them. I'm watched this three times and I said,

866
00:44:11,719 --> 00:44:14,239
Speaker 1: if this works one more time, I'm doing it for

867
00:44:14,360 --> 00:44:18,279
Speaker 1: twenty bucks. Right, walked up started giving the tickets to

868
00:44:18,400 --> 00:44:20,840
Speaker 1: the uncle, and the uncle goes like this, and the

869
00:44:20,920 --> 00:44:23,960
Speaker 1: guy goes, oh, no, okay, And they got caught like

870
00:44:24,080 --> 00:44:26,520
Speaker 1: they didn't get caught, but he was. They were watching them,

871
00:44:26,960 --> 00:44:29,840
Speaker 1: and you were in that group. No, I didn't do it.

872
00:44:29,920 --> 00:44:31,600
Speaker 1: I said, they got to do it one more time

873
00:44:31,680 --> 00:44:35,080
Speaker 1: before I trusted. It didn't. It didn't work. A great story,

874
00:44:35,440 --> 00:44:38,760
Speaker 1: New York. Everybody's got a scam, I swear to God,

875
00:44:39,400 --> 00:44:43,640
Speaker 1: New York. You scammers. And everybody's got a guy or

876
00:44:43,680 --> 00:44:49,319
Speaker 1: an uncle, right their uncle's voted in your Twitter poll today. Yeah,

877
00:44:49,600 --> 00:44:53,480
Speaker 1: Mickey didn't Yeah about that. Yeah, well you're running out

878
00:44:53,520 --> 00:44:55,680
Speaker 1: of time. Why's that? Because I'm doing it right now,

879
00:44:56,600 --> 00:44:59,760
Speaker 1: right now. Cowboys starting tied in in twenty eighteen. Should

880
00:44:59,800 --> 00:45:02,200
Speaker 1: be not who will be? Who do you think should

881
00:45:02,719 --> 00:45:07,920
Speaker 1: replace Jason Witten, Jarwin Gathers, Dalton Schultz or Jeff Swain

882
00:45:08,880 --> 00:45:12,879
Speaker 1: go should be? Not? Who be? Hunt? When they When

883
00:45:13,120 --> 00:45:15,359
Speaker 1: was the last time they drafted a tight end within

884
00:45:15,440 --> 00:45:19,919
Speaker 1: the first four rounds? It's been a moment like three

885
00:45:20,080 --> 00:45:29,919
Speaker 1: times in the second round. Yeah, you guys want another question, Guys,

886
00:45:30,440 --> 00:45:33,840
Speaker 1: I was just gonna say, I don't know. I'm curious

887
00:45:33,840 --> 00:45:35,920
Speaker 1: to see how this Dalton Schultz guy comes in and

888
00:45:36,000 --> 00:45:38,040
Speaker 1: what it shows. I have a feeling that it's gonna

889
00:45:38,040 --> 00:45:39,799
Speaker 1: be Dalton Schultz. Yeah, that's what I was gonna say,

890
00:45:39,840 --> 00:45:42,680
Speaker 1: because it just seems like the way they targeted him,

891
00:45:42,880 --> 00:45:45,960
Speaker 1: the way that people talk about him, he seems like

892
00:45:46,040 --> 00:45:49,399
Speaker 1: a natural fit. Of course, easier said than done. Yeah,

893
00:45:49,520 --> 00:45:51,879
Speaker 1: And if you played at Stanford, it's like you're ready

894
00:45:51,920 --> 00:45:53,759
Speaker 1: made to at least come in and contribute. I don't

895
00:45:53,800 --> 00:45:57,760
Speaker 1: know if you can, you know, play Paine percent stabs,

896
00:45:57,880 --> 00:45:59,799
Speaker 1: but he's got a chance to step in and play.

897
00:46:00,000 --> 00:46:01,359
Speaker 1: The feeling he's going to look good in the one

898
00:46:01,440 --> 00:46:03,719
Speaker 1: on one stuff. You know, they when they when they

899
00:46:03,800 --> 00:46:06,200
Speaker 1: do some when they do some drills at Oxnard where

900
00:46:06,200 --> 00:46:08,920
Speaker 1: it's one on one with pads, and then he's going

901
00:46:08,960 --> 00:46:11,080
Speaker 1: to figure out, you know, he's gonna probably work against,

902
00:46:11,560 --> 00:46:13,520
Speaker 1: you know, some of these young safeties and give them

903
00:46:13,640 --> 00:46:17,120
Speaker 1: an opportunity. He's got some craftiness to his game. So

904
00:46:17,640 --> 00:46:20,160
Speaker 1: I wouldn't I would not put it past Dalton Schultz.

905
00:46:20,400 --> 00:46:22,360
Speaker 1: I don't think the game's too big for him. I

906
00:46:22,440 --> 00:46:24,799
Speaker 1: think he's been in some big time. He could play

907
00:46:24,840 --> 00:46:26,480
Speaker 1: that I could say, could play in line, he could

908
00:46:26,480 --> 00:46:28,800
Speaker 1: play detached. He can help you as a pass blocker

909
00:46:28,880 --> 00:46:31,759
Speaker 1: two when you keep him in. So I think he's

910
00:46:31,760 --> 00:46:33,800
Speaker 1: gonna he's gonna fill a lot of different roles. And

911
00:46:33,800 --> 00:46:35,960
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be one bit surprised if they did open

912
00:46:36,000 --> 00:46:38,360
Speaker 1: and twelve percent. But they put him in line and

913
00:46:38,440 --> 00:46:40,640
Speaker 1: move Jeff Swain around, you know, That's what I kind

914
00:46:40,680 --> 00:46:43,479
Speaker 1: of feel like they would do. So my vote create

915
00:46:43,560 --> 00:46:46,439
Speaker 1: a huge difference in the percentages there. What's your vote,

916
00:46:47,160 --> 00:46:53,799
Speaker 1: Dalton Schultz? Yeah, yeah, only eighteen percent. However, they want

917
00:46:53,920 --> 00:46:57,960
Speaker 1: Rico okay, they want him thirty six percent, followed by

918
00:46:58,040 --> 00:47:00,920
Speaker 1: Jeff Swaym at thirty two. So there the bigger question.

919
00:47:02,080 --> 00:47:05,480
Speaker 1: Here's the bigger question, who are your top two tight ends?

920
00:47:05,600 --> 00:47:09,239
Speaker 1: Because if they plan on using that some Solt personnel. Yeah,

921
00:47:09,280 --> 00:47:11,800
Speaker 1: I'm seeing that's Swam and Schultz. Yeah, that's what I

922
00:47:11,920 --> 00:47:15,040
Speaker 1: was thinking. Rico is going to have to beat out Jarwin.

923
00:47:15,239 --> 00:47:16,960
Speaker 1: I think I don't know if they can carry four

924
00:47:17,040 --> 00:47:19,680
Speaker 1: tight ends. I really don't how mad is Jarwin at

925
00:47:19,719 --> 00:47:21,600
Speaker 1: the steam right now? They hold him back, They keep

926
00:47:21,680 --> 00:47:23,560
Speaker 1: take him, put him on the roster so he can't

927
00:47:23,600 --> 00:47:27,680
Speaker 1: go to them. But I'll guarantee you Philly drafts a

928
00:47:27,800 --> 00:47:31,040
Speaker 1: tight end, right Yeah? Does he have an NFL catch?

929
00:47:31,560 --> 00:47:33,600
Speaker 1: Swam the only guy who has a catch that's left

930
00:47:33,640 --> 00:47:36,319
Speaker 1: on this right. That's amazing. Jarwin will be out here

931
00:47:36,360 --> 00:47:41,399
Speaker 1: at the Rooky Minicamp this week like nine proved any

932
00:47:41,440 --> 00:47:46,080
Speaker 1: games that'd be big. Um, It's it's amazing now the

933
00:47:46,320 --> 00:47:48,920
Speaker 1: experienced level at this position, I mean you just it's

934
00:47:48,960 --> 00:47:50,680
Speaker 1: not that you take Jason Witten for granted, but you

935
00:47:50,719 --> 00:47:52,920
Speaker 1: take him away from this depth chart and Hannah retires

936
00:47:53,000 --> 00:47:56,200
Speaker 1: and it's like whoa, it's like nine catches, right, yeah,

937
00:47:56,640 --> 00:48:00,080
Speaker 1: nine catches total? Yeah, was James Hannah Maddi didn't the

938
00:48:00,200 --> 00:48:03,320
Speaker 1: retirement press coom runs, just like he didn't get one diddy.

939
00:48:04,000 --> 00:48:06,160
Speaker 1: You know, James Hannah wasn't a bad player for these No,

940
00:48:06,400 --> 00:48:08,560
Speaker 1: he was a quietly go a bunch of business. Phil

941
00:48:09,160 --> 00:48:12,400
Speaker 1: hurt a lot, yes, played hurt and injuries robbed him.

942
00:48:12,680 --> 00:48:15,040
Speaker 1: He came in here's a guy that you're like thinking, oh,

943
00:48:15,120 --> 00:48:17,480
Speaker 1: he's not a very good blocker, and he became. He

944
00:48:17,560 --> 00:48:19,480
Speaker 1: developed as a blocker, and then all of a sudden

945
00:48:19,520 --> 00:48:21,600
Speaker 1: he started Last year was one of his better years.

946
00:48:21,760 --> 00:48:25,239
Speaker 1: Catching the football again watching the Oakland game, he has

947
00:48:25,280 --> 00:48:27,880
Speaker 1: a nice play on a Dak hits him on a

948
00:48:28,080 --> 00:48:30,320
Speaker 1: route near the sidelines, and he had a couple of

949
00:48:30,760 --> 00:48:32,600
Speaker 1: games where he had you know, two or three catches.

950
00:48:32,640 --> 00:48:35,040
Speaker 1: So good for him, but it was a shame because

951
00:48:35,080 --> 00:48:38,040
Speaker 1: he injuries. Yeah, he paid his dues and it looked

952
00:48:38,040 --> 00:48:40,760
Speaker 1: like it was ready to take the next step and flourish.

953
00:48:40,960 --> 00:48:43,200
Speaker 1: And then the knee came out just too They couldn't

954
00:48:43,239 --> 00:48:45,239
Speaker 1: fix it, couldn't get it, couldn't get right in too bad.

955
00:48:45,320 --> 00:48:47,440
Speaker 1: They tried, they really did. Next Twitter pall I had

956
00:48:47,480 --> 00:48:50,200
Speaker 1: one more to a real quick best Jason Witton moment.

957
00:48:50,360 --> 00:48:53,520
Speaker 1: Right End's welcome because he only got four options, the

958
00:48:53,680 --> 00:48:56,440
Speaker 1: jaw injury only missed one game, you know three it's

959
00:48:56,440 --> 00:49:01,360
Speaker 1: the only game he ever missed. The famous helmetlet less catch, obviously, right,

960
00:49:01,400 --> 00:49:03,560
Speaker 1: obviously there's a tribute to that here at the start

961
00:49:03,640 --> 00:49:08,760
Speaker 1: the three yards yeah against Philly Spleen game. We're probably

962
00:49:08,800 --> 00:49:10,840
Speaker 1: had no business playing in that football game. And the

963
00:49:10,960 --> 00:49:13,759
Speaker 1: why option play versus Detroit that Jason Garrett reference and

964
00:49:13,920 --> 00:49:17,320
Speaker 1: Romo referenced in his letter last night, simply cannot agree

965
00:49:17,400 --> 00:49:20,640
Speaker 1: with that, only because Dave Hellman takes credit for bringing

966
00:49:20,719 --> 00:49:23,960
Speaker 1: that up and it was not him. You know, I

967
00:49:24,120 --> 00:49:26,640
Speaker 1: know he mentioned that to you as well. But I

968
00:49:26,760 --> 00:49:28,480
Speaker 1: have to go with the helmet list catch. That's the

969
00:49:28,560 --> 00:49:30,839
Speaker 1: one I voted for. And I only say that as

970
00:49:30,920 --> 00:49:34,520
Speaker 1: somebody who talks about iconic players in this league. There

971
00:49:34,560 --> 00:49:36,520
Speaker 1: are certain players where if you bring up their name,

972
00:49:36,560 --> 00:49:39,120
Speaker 1: you're going to remember a moment and you're gonna remember

973
00:49:39,160 --> 00:49:42,279
Speaker 1: an image. I think for a lot of Cowboys fans,

974
00:49:42,360 --> 00:49:45,080
Speaker 1: it is the helmet list catch. And you know, Brian

975
00:49:45,200 --> 00:49:47,759
Speaker 1: Jokes is one of his sayings is I played a

976
00:49:47,800 --> 00:49:51,000
Speaker 1: lot of games without a football helmet, Yet Jason Witten

977
00:49:51,040 --> 00:49:55,239
Speaker 1: could say that really literally did? Right? Fans agree sixty vote.

978
00:49:55,320 --> 00:49:58,920
Speaker 1: Mick helmet helmet was played? He play? Yeah, I mean,

979
00:49:59,280 --> 00:50:01,680
Speaker 1: today's right. You think of one moment. I think you

980
00:50:01,719 --> 00:50:03,160
Speaker 1: think of that one. Look, I mean, look at the

981
00:50:03,200 --> 00:50:06,440
Speaker 1: giant twenty foot mural we got down the highway. I'll

982
00:50:06,480 --> 00:50:08,359
Speaker 1: tell you what. It's not maybe a moment that people

983
00:50:08,440 --> 00:50:11,439
Speaker 1: know about. But I remember him coming on the field

984
00:50:11,520 --> 00:50:13,440
Speaker 1: opening day in the Giants game. Or I didn't think

985
00:50:13,440 --> 00:50:16,520
Speaker 1: he was playing, got a doctor to say that, oh no,

986
00:50:16,680 --> 00:50:20,960
Speaker 1: he could play. The lacerated kidney and all that. I'm thinking,

987
00:50:21,000 --> 00:50:22,920
Speaker 1: there's no way he's playing this game. There is no

988
00:50:23,160 --> 00:50:26,640
Speaker 1: And he runs out there on the field. I'm going, okay, yeah,

989
00:50:26,800 --> 00:50:29,000
Speaker 1: all right, And you know, I mean it wasn't a

990
00:50:29,120 --> 00:50:31,960
Speaker 1: large numbers game. Another game against the Giants was won

991
00:50:32,040 --> 00:50:34,279
Speaker 1: the Romo Drive where they won the game and the

992
00:50:34,400 --> 00:50:37,040
Speaker 1: when the last the touchdown pass to Witton right there

993
00:50:37,040 --> 00:50:39,279
Speaker 1: in the middle of the field where he pops into

994
00:50:39,360 --> 00:50:41,759
Speaker 1: the you know, pops right in there. He He's had

995
00:50:41,840 --> 00:50:43,920
Speaker 1: so many big, big catches. I think that's where you're

996
00:50:43,960 --> 00:50:46,560
Speaker 1: gonna miss him in those those big catch games. The

997
00:50:47,080 --> 00:50:50,640
Speaker 1: red zone, him and him and him and both him

998
00:50:50,680 --> 00:50:52,319
Speaker 1: and does not being in the red zone. They better

999
00:50:52,360 --> 00:50:54,680
Speaker 1: figure something out how to kind of get that squared up.

1000
00:50:56,360 --> 00:50:59,799
Speaker 1: Will take care of that. Going to our fan vote.

1001
00:51:00,840 --> 00:51:02,879
Speaker 1: They would love to see it, you know. He had

1002
00:51:03,200 --> 00:51:06,719
Speaker 1: He had also a bunch of game winning catches. Yeah,

1003
00:51:06,760 --> 00:51:12,440
Speaker 1: that's just a play winning catches? Was it? Washington? I

1004
00:51:12,560 --> 00:51:15,960
Speaker 1: can't remember recently. A couple of years ago. It was

1005
00:51:16,040 --> 00:51:22,080
Speaker 1: several catch game. Yeah, yeah, over time with Dak, over

1006
00:51:22,200 --> 00:51:24,640
Speaker 1: time with Dad. Yeah, against Philly, right, but the Giant

1007
00:51:24,680 --> 00:51:27,480
Speaker 1: the Romo drive because they just kept feeding the ball,

1008
00:51:27,520 --> 00:51:29,640
Speaker 1: feeding in the ball fee and then finally Romo just

1009
00:51:30,080 --> 00:51:33,560
Speaker 1: and I'm not mistaken, didn't Romo drop the snap? He's

1010
00:51:33,600 --> 00:51:36,840
Speaker 1: kind of he's kicking it around and he kind of

1011
00:51:37,040 --> 00:51:39,640
Speaker 1: gathers himself and there's witting in the middle of the field.

1012
00:51:39,680 --> 00:51:42,480
Speaker 1: He just what about that one handed catch he basically

1013
00:51:42,560 --> 00:51:46,200
Speaker 1: had last year against San Francisco. Yes, there was a bunch,

1014
00:51:46,680 --> 00:51:52,120
Speaker 1: but the helmetless thing, and I remembered it, but as

1015
00:51:52,239 --> 00:51:55,800
Speaker 1: I said, I better remind myself exactly what happened. So

1016
00:51:56,640 --> 00:52:00,480
Speaker 1: it ended up being a fifty three yard play inside

1017
00:52:00,520 --> 00:52:04,759
Speaker 1: the ten yard line, but it was twenty three yard

1018
00:52:04,920 --> 00:52:09,960
Speaker 1: catch and then a thirty yard run and my recollection

1019
00:52:10,200 --> 00:52:12,840
Speaker 1: was okay, and he got down by the ten and

1020
00:52:12,920 --> 00:52:15,080
Speaker 1: he just kind of ran out of bounds. Oh no,

1021
00:52:15,360 --> 00:52:17,920
Speaker 1: he didn't run out of bounces. He got tackled. Yeah,

1022
00:52:18,160 --> 00:52:21,240
Speaker 1: he didn't go down and sell. Somebody tackled him without

1023
00:52:21,280 --> 00:52:24,520
Speaker 1: a helmet on. Nice guys, Nice guys there in Philly,

1024
00:52:25,960 --> 00:52:28,840
Speaker 1: brother going to let him scored. I mean they actually

1025
00:52:28,880 --> 00:52:30,960
Speaker 1: they're showing it right now if you watch it with

1026
00:52:31,280 --> 00:52:34,759
Speaker 1: Mickey's talking about getting taken down. But you know, and

1027
00:52:34,840 --> 00:52:38,520
Speaker 1: you're looking at Colombo there yesterday, I just passed him

1028
00:52:38,520 --> 00:52:40,520
Speaker 1: around the Star and we were talking about it, and

1029
00:52:40,960 --> 00:52:42,640
Speaker 1: you know, because we were saying, you know, we had

1030
00:52:42,680 --> 00:52:46,040
Speaker 1: to thank so many different people in his speech Jason Witten,

1031
00:52:46,120 --> 00:52:48,640
Speaker 1: did you know? And he made sure to mention a

1032
00:52:48,680 --> 00:52:51,480
Speaker 1: few names and to get into certain players would have

1033
00:52:51,520 --> 00:52:55,080
Speaker 1: taken probably a lot longer than most people wanted because

1034
00:52:55,160 --> 00:52:56,680
Speaker 1: you look at some of the guys that he really

1035
00:52:56,760 --> 00:53:00,360
Speaker 1: had good relationships with, some of the most random players

1036
00:53:00,640 --> 00:53:02,680
Speaker 1: that were on this team. So you know, my question

1037
00:53:02,760 --> 00:53:05,160
Speaker 1: on that play was, though, and they cut it off

1038
00:53:05,280 --> 00:53:07,880
Speaker 1: helmet the helmet, No, who Wit and got his helmet

1039
00:53:07,960 --> 00:53:10,439
Speaker 1: for him? Did Romo pick it up and go okay,

1040
00:53:10,560 --> 00:53:13,880
Speaker 1: here thanks, Mike ran out there and got it. He

1041
00:53:13,920 --> 00:53:15,800
Speaker 1: didn't have the ten year old kid that goes and

1042
00:53:15,880 --> 00:53:20,920
Speaker 1: gets the team to go out and get off. But

1043
00:53:21,280 --> 00:53:22,879
Speaker 1: you make a point. I think it's a good one

1044
00:53:22,960 --> 00:53:26,040
Speaker 1: about that he in fifteen years, you can affect a

1045
00:53:26,080 --> 00:53:27,880
Speaker 1: lot of people in the way. You know. I'm not

1046
00:53:27,960 --> 00:53:31,320
Speaker 1: sure that Jason Witten probably went was friends with everybody

1047
00:53:31,400 --> 00:53:33,799
Speaker 1: on the team, but I think everybody really respected him,

1048
00:53:33,960 --> 00:53:36,479
Speaker 1: you know. I mean there's like there's teammates you don't

1049
00:53:36,880 --> 00:53:38,719
Speaker 1: go out to dinner with or hang out with and

1050
00:53:38,719 --> 00:53:40,560
Speaker 1: all that, but I think you had to respect the man.

1051
00:53:40,640 --> 00:53:43,000
Speaker 1: And I think that's something that you know when you

1052
00:53:43,120 --> 00:53:45,359
Speaker 1: when he walks away, or when as he walked away,

1053
00:53:45,480 --> 00:53:47,600
Speaker 1: he felt like, you know, I wouldn't really close to

1054
00:53:47,640 --> 00:53:49,440
Speaker 1: that guy, but you know what, I enjoyed having him

1055
00:53:49,440 --> 00:53:51,760
Speaker 1: as a teammate. And he'll be able to talk about

1056
00:53:51,800 --> 00:53:53,719
Speaker 1: that a little bit on this Monday night broadcast. You know,

1057
00:53:53,920 --> 00:53:57,200
Speaker 1: the sign of his respect. I thought Rob probably saw

1058
00:53:57,239 --> 00:53:59,520
Speaker 1: it when we were sitting there and he was given

1059
00:53:59,640 --> 00:54:02,879
Speaker 1: his fourteen fifteen minute speech whatever it ended up being.

1060
00:54:04,600 --> 00:54:07,360
Speaker 1: The young guys on the team were sitting on like

1061
00:54:07,520 --> 00:54:10,120
Speaker 1: the edge of their seat, leaning forward, and they were

1062
00:54:10,320 --> 00:54:14,560
Speaker 1: listening to every word he said, especially dak Um. I

1063
00:54:14,640 --> 00:54:18,839
Speaker 1: saw jar one young guys. I didn't know where Zeke

1064
00:54:18,960 --> 00:54:23,240
Speaker 1: was sitting. You miss his hair trying til my story

1065
00:54:26,600 --> 00:54:31,200
Speaker 1: the grenade comes in. Tell me had just lobbed it

1066
00:54:31,360 --> 00:54:34,759
Speaker 1: right in? I know some guys on talk radio that

1067
00:54:34,880 --> 00:54:37,920
Speaker 1: do that all the time. Tylor was good at it. Yeah. Anyway,

1068
00:54:38,400 --> 00:54:41,279
Speaker 1: they were listening, and so that showed me that they

1069
00:54:41,360 --> 00:54:43,959
Speaker 1: had a lot of respect for what he's done because

1070
00:54:44,000 --> 00:54:47,080
Speaker 1: they were they were just attentive to what he was

1071
00:54:47,200 --> 00:54:50,920
Speaker 1: having to say. Absolutely well, we have time for one

1076
00:55:10,400 --> 00:55:16,560
Speaker 1: And my question is am I crazy for believing that

1077
00:55:17,800 --> 00:55:24,720
Speaker 1: Xavier Wood is going to win? Uh? Uh? Our starting

1078
00:55:25,480 --> 00:55:45,239
Speaker 1: a job at Free Safety and and play wealth for us.

1079
00:55:45,840 --> 00:55:49,320
Speaker 1: Uh take care. Thanks for being patient with me and

1080
00:55:50,000 --> 00:55:58,320
Speaker 1: have a great week. Bye. Great questions. We've had issues

1081
00:55:58,360 --> 00:56:01,640
Speaker 1: with our phone line, so he's up stayed true listening. Oh,

1082
00:56:01,719 --> 00:56:04,839
Speaker 1: we do appreciate where we are getting phone calls for Yeah, change,

1083
00:56:04,880 --> 00:56:08,239
Speaker 1: big change. Yeah, absolutely way to go Ken. Yeah, I

1084
00:56:08,360 --> 00:56:10,600
Speaker 1: think that Cam. I think that when we get to

1085
00:56:10,680 --> 00:56:13,160
Speaker 1: the OTA practices and stuff like that, I think you're

1086
00:56:13,160 --> 00:56:15,440
Speaker 1: gonna see Xavier Woods get the first shot at this thing,

1087
00:56:16,040 --> 00:56:18,040
Speaker 1: and and it's gonna be him and Jeff Heath and

1088
00:56:18,719 --> 00:56:19,920
Speaker 1: they have to figure out what they're gonna do with

1089
00:56:20,000 --> 00:56:22,800
Speaker 1: Byron joneses Byron Jones play at right cornerback? Is that

1090
00:56:22,960 --> 00:56:24,600
Speaker 1: you know? Is he gonna be the starter over there?

1091
00:56:24,800 --> 00:56:26,560
Speaker 1: I mean, I think that's something that we have to

1092
00:56:26,640 --> 00:56:28,880
Speaker 1: think about because a Woozier is going to be the

1093
00:56:29,000 --> 00:56:32,239
Speaker 1: left corner and you know, well Will Lewis b the

1094
00:56:32,360 --> 00:56:35,920
Speaker 1: nickel now that uh you know, but Xavier Woods was

1095
00:56:35,960 --> 00:56:38,640
Speaker 1: the nickel the last uh yeah, you know, last several

1096
00:56:38,719 --> 00:56:42,759
Speaker 1: games since the Charger game. But to Nebbie's point, yeah,

1097
00:56:42,760 --> 00:56:45,160
Speaker 1: I think that they're gonna go with Woods to to

1098
00:56:45,840 --> 00:56:48,279
Speaker 1: start out, and if it works out, he's your guy.

1099
00:56:48,360 --> 00:56:50,600
Speaker 1: If not, then they'll have to figure out something else

1100
00:56:50,640 --> 00:56:53,640
Speaker 1: and figure out something quickly and don't eliminate Anthony Brown.

1101
00:56:54,560 --> 00:56:57,520
Speaker 1: Yeah from the equation. Yeah, to move back there and

1102
00:56:57,560 --> 00:57:00,359
Speaker 1: play for well, I just somewhere I thought they got

1103
00:57:00,680 --> 00:57:03,680
Speaker 1: the season went along, Yeah, he got better towards the end,

1104
00:57:03,840 --> 00:57:07,480
Speaker 1: he struggled early, and I think they always worried about

1105
00:57:07,600 --> 00:57:10,480
Speaker 1: his flat out ketchup speed. Yeah, like he can't get

1106
00:57:10,560 --> 00:57:12,759
Speaker 1: beat off the line of scrimmage. Just the penalties that

1107
00:57:12,880 --> 00:57:15,000
Speaker 1: got him. I think he led the league or was

1108
00:57:15,120 --> 00:57:17,400
Speaker 1: right up there before he got benched. They got a

1109
00:57:17,480 --> 00:57:20,920
Speaker 1: couple of kids that they signed as unrestricted, got an

1110
00:57:21,000 --> 00:57:25,560
Speaker 1: unrestricted but free drafted. Yeah, cam Kelly, go back and

1111
00:57:25,640 --> 00:57:28,120
Speaker 1: read his report from San Diego State, and then also

1112
00:57:28,280 --> 00:57:31,400
Speaker 1: to this Tyree Robinson from Oregon. Maybe a couple of

1113
00:57:31,440 --> 00:57:35,480
Speaker 1: guys that could be candidates for safeties. Kyle Quero who

1114
00:57:35,560 --> 00:57:38,680
Speaker 1: they signed from Northwestern is a big safety. I think

1115
00:57:38,720 --> 00:57:41,400
Speaker 1: they're gonna play him at linebacker. Just talking some people

1116
00:57:41,440 --> 00:57:44,120
Speaker 1: in the buildings. So but keep an eye on cam

1117
00:57:44,280 --> 00:57:47,640
Speaker 1: Kelly and then also then Tyree Robinson, maybe some guys

1118
00:57:47,680 --> 00:57:50,560
Speaker 1: that can maybe one of these young guys it's undrafted,

1119
00:57:50,680 --> 00:57:52,720
Speaker 1: you know, I have a feeling that Cam Kelly, I'll

1120
00:57:52,800 --> 00:57:54,680
Speaker 1: check this out. I have a feeling he was on

1121
00:57:54,800 --> 00:57:57,240
Speaker 1: the draft board. And they've probably got several guys that

1122
00:57:57,320 --> 00:57:59,240
Speaker 1: were on the draft board that they went after after

1123
00:57:59,320 --> 00:58:02,040
Speaker 1: the drafting ale to get that secured. So that's always

1124
00:58:02,080 --> 00:58:03,680
Speaker 1: great when you got guys on your draft board that

1125
00:58:03,680 --> 00:58:05,720
Speaker 1: you wanted to draft and then you have to get

1126
00:58:05,800 --> 00:58:07,720
Speaker 1: to sign him. Boy, that's a huge bonus. And they

1127
00:58:07,800 --> 00:58:09,760
Speaker 1: need some depth there. I mean they only have three

1128
00:58:09,840 --> 00:58:12,520
Speaker 1: guys on the roster now that played last year, right right,

1129
00:58:12,640 --> 00:58:16,560
Speaker 1: I mean Showers is there and yeah they're there, Showers.

1130
00:58:16,680 --> 00:58:19,480
Speaker 1: I mean that's something that there's three guys with NFL

1131
00:58:19,600 --> 00:58:23,200
Speaker 1: experience and that's it. And one of them, what Cavan Frasier,

1132
00:58:23,320 --> 00:58:26,040
Speaker 1: only played about twenty five thirty percent of the plays,

1133
00:58:26,640 --> 00:58:29,240
Speaker 1: so yeah, not a lot of experience back they're accounting

1134
00:58:29,280 --> 00:58:31,600
Speaker 1: on him. Comedy, Well, thank you guys so much for
