I'm 5 00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:23,239 Speaker 2: Nick Eapman here, joined right off the jump here by 6 00:00:23,239 --> 00:00:25,479 Speaker 2: Will McLay. We tried to get Will Long. He's like, 7 00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:27,640 Speaker 2: let's do it right now. So usually have a guest 8 00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:29,920 Speaker 2: to the second segment. And we are still expecting to 9 00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:32,519 Speaker 2: have cornerback Deron Bland. But man, we'll start it off 10 00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:35,320 Speaker 2: here the guy that that pretty much drafted him a 11 00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:38,440 Speaker 2: smart draft in the fifth round getting Deron Bland. But 12 00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:42,600 Speaker 2: here's Will McLay, the vice president of player personnel and 13 00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:45,600 Speaker 2: runs that war room in there or one of them. Sorry, 14 00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:47,000 Speaker 2: I don't want to get you in trouble, gets you 15 00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:50,639 Speaker 2: in trouble. You guys are collaborative. Yes, First of all, 16 00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:53,840 Speaker 2: house camp going so far. I mean guys seeing you know, 17 00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:55,160 Speaker 2: showing you stuff that you want to see. 18 00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:56,680 Speaker 3: It's it's very good. It's competitive. 19 00:00:56,720 --> 00:00:58,400 Speaker 4: You're getting to see some things about him and now 20 00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:01,600 Speaker 4: we're getting ready to play games, and that where it matters. 21 00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:03,160 Speaker 3: To find out about the small guys. Yeah, you know, 22 00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:03,840 Speaker 3: the young. 23 00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:05,680 Speaker 2: Guys soft spoken. Will McClay got to get the black 24 00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:08,840 Speaker 2: up to you, soft spoken on the mic. I've seen 25 00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:12,520 Speaker 2: you when you're not sometimes. But it doesn't feel like 26 00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:16,360 Speaker 2: the defense is kicking the offenses ass or the offense 27 00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:19,000 Speaker 2: kicks the defense. It feels like there's periods where one 28 00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:19,600 Speaker 2: gets the better. 29 00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:21,880 Speaker 4: But that's got to be healthy, right, Yeah, that's what 30 00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:24,720 Speaker 4: makes us. Uh, it's gonna make us a great team 31 00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:27,480 Speaker 4: and an opportunity. It's the battle between the offense and 32 00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:30,600 Speaker 4: defense and the competition and you know, iron Sharpen's iron 33 00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:33,160 Speaker 4: and then let's get ready to play the preseason games 34 00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:35,160 Speaker 4: and figure this out and figure out our fifty three. 35 00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:36,440 Speaker 4: But these guys are competing well. 36 00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:39,319 Speaker 2: It always look at the rookies. We look at the 37 00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:41,240 Speaker 2: rookies that you guys draft and also the ones you 38 00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:43,240 Speaker 2: bring in after the drafts, because you guys have a 39 00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:46,160 Speaker 2: great track record of doing that. Can you give me 40 00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:49,600 Speaker 2: some guys that are standing out more than others that 41 00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:52,120 Speaker 2: you're just like, Wow, we maybe didn't expect that. 42 00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:54,920 Speaker 4: I don't want to get into names, because there's also 43 00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:57,960 Speaker 4: part of the scouting deals. I look at everybody's website 44 00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:00,760 Speaker 4: to see who they're talking about. Oh, Uh, don't really 45 00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:02,360 Speaker 4: want to bring up names of what we are doing. 46 00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:05,640 Speaker 4: Is you know, for for a team to survive, young 47 00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:07,480 Speaker 4: guys have to make it because of the salary cap 48 00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:10,440 Speaker 4: and everything else. So it's about seeing the young guys, 49 00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:12,280 Speaker 4: how they'll compete, how they mix in with the vets, 50 00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:15,079 Speaker 4: and then how they compete that that's a big part 51 00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:16,680 Speaker 4: of this whole deal. And how do you build a 52 00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:19,320 Speaker 4: team with those young guys that can add something to you? 53 00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:22,720 Speaker 2: So I can't ask you about like some seventh round 54 00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:24,639 Speaker 2: receiver pick anything that's doing well. 55 00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:26,399 Speaker 4: There's a lot of kids doing a lot of good things. 56 00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:29,240 Speaker 4: But the game, the games will tell the story. 57 00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:31,679 Speaker 2: Okay, all right, all right, so I won't I won't 58 00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:35,080 Speaker 2: talk about that. Let's talk about the last year's drafted 59 00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:37,720 Speaker 2: because those guys aren't going anywhere. We are expecting, like 60 00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:40,360 Speaker 2: I said, to get drawn played And what did you 61 00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:43,200 Speaker 2: see out of him? Fifth round? And he what a 62 00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:45,320 Speaker 2: great rookie season he had, But but what were the 63 00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:47,640 Speaker 2: traits that you saw there to take him? 64 00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:50,359 Speaker 4: You know, Dan's come in here on the defense and 65 00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:52,680 Speaker 4: they they go through and they tell us the type 66 00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:55,239 Speaker 4: of players that they're looking for, and they say, okay, 67 00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:57,000 Speaker 4: what can a guy do and then we try and 68 00:02:57,080 --> 00:02:59,520 Speaker 4: use those strengths. So what you're looking at Doron when 69 00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:01,680 Speaker 4: he was coming out, he's a guy who had athleticism, 70 00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:05,519 Speaker 4: had size, length, and had a competitive spirit and that's 71 00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:07,640 Speaker 4: a big part about it. And with him, when the 72 00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:09,320 Speaker 4: balls in the air, he's competing for it, and so 73 00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:11,240 Speaker 4: you got an opportunity to see that when he got 74 00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:12,680 Speaker 4: a chance to play, he was ready for it. 75 00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:13,679 Speaker 3: Wasn't too big for him. 76 00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:16,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, and you know he certainly he's a guy that's 77 00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:20,520 Speaker 2: played inside outside and seems like today's with the wide receivers, 78 00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:22,560 Speaker 2: the great receivers are the ones that are lining up 79 00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:24,640 Speaker 2: inside outside. So you need cornerbacks that can. 80 00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:26,720 Speaker 4: Matt can do the same thing, that can match because 81 00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:28,400 Speaker 4: you know offenses are going to try and get their 82 00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:29,320 Speaker 4: best player moving around. 83 00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:30,480 Speaker 3: See what you do defensively. 84 00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:32,880 Speaker 4: The more pieces that you have that can match with that, 85 00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:35,360 Speaker 4: the better your defenses. And that's what we strive to do. 86 00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:37,280 Speaker 4: And you know, Dan and the defense putting them in 87 00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:39,960 Speaker 4: the right position he was in. He came at the 88 00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:41,800 Speaker 4: right time for us because we lost at that point 89 00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:43,640 Speaker 4: in time a very big piece of our team in 90 00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:45,960 Speaker 4: Jordan Lewis. And you're looking for somebody step up, and 91 00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:48,160 Speaker 4: this kid, rookie just steps up, and you know, it 92 00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:49,800 Speaker 4: looks like he'd been here for a long time. 93 00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:53,760 Speaker 2: So when you played at Rice, for you an inside outside. 94 00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:55,440 Speaker 4: It was back in the Southwest Conference days, and people 95 00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:57,000 Speaker 4: give me a hard time. I mean, there's a picture 96 00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:58,800 Speaker 4: of me with a neck brace on. You can't play 97 00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:03,040 Speaker 4: corner with a yeah conference I had to tackle like. 98 00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:05,120 Speaker 2: Well, yeah, I like I told you the other day, 99 00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:09,520 Speaker 2: I saw a YouTube video of Rice versus Arkansas. They're 100 00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:12,720 Speaker 2: running the wishbone, So it's hard for you to make. 101 00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:13,640 Speaker 3: A lot of coverage. 102 00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:16,200 Speaker 4: Skills were undervalue during the time where I played. 103 00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:20,240 Speaker 2: You know, well, I'm guarantee you got tested in the 104 00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:22,720 Speaker 2: Areada League because that's what they did. They threw the ball, 105 00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:25,600 Speaker 2: throw it around. I know you played several years over 106 00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:28,240 Speaker 2: there as we all right, well, let's let's also talk 107 00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:31,039 Speaker 2: about I know you don't want to talk specifically about 108 00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:32,920 Speaker 2: you some of your guys here, but Duce Vaughan is 109 00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:34,479 Speaker 2: a guy that's called a lot of attention. Of course, 110 00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:37,200 Speaker 2: you've known him since he was you know, in high school, 111 00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:39,800 Speaker 2: right and even before that seventh grade I think is 112 00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:42,760 Speaker 2: when you said what with parlor being out a couple 113 00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:44,920 Speaker 2: of days. Personal reasons, Ronald Jones being out with a 114 00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:47,840 Speaker 2: grown injury. He's getting some carries as a running back, 115 00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:50,480 Speaker 2: not just a niche player. He's he's getting the ball 116 00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:51,080 Speaker 2: right up the middle. 117 00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:53,039 Speaker 4: Was drafting him because he's a running back, you know, 118 00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:55,080 Speaker 4: and there's some things he can do. There's any thing 119 00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:58,400 Speaker 4: he's missing. His height, you know, the heart, the speed, 120 00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:01,880 Speaker 4: all those things he has and he's got great, great instincts. 121 00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:04,919 Speaker 4: So that's what happens at training camp. Uh, you know, 122 00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:07,480 Speaker 4: we talk about availability. So something happens to a guy 123 00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:09,920 Speaker 4: who's gonna step up and take advantage of the reps 124 00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:11,919 Speaker 4: that they get. And he's doing a good job with 125 00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:14,280 Speaker 4: that taking those reps. And that's why we draft from 126 00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:15,320 Speaker 4: the kid can play running back. 127 00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:19,320 Speaker 2: Well, you obviously don't you talk with the Joneses apartment 128 00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:21,720 Speaker 2: sure multiple times a day. You don't really get into 129 00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:24,240 Speaker 2: the money stuff. So the Zach Martin situations out of 130 00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:27,800 Speaker 2: your control, but it does open doors for other It 131 00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:30,000 Speaker 2: gets you a good opportunity to see what these backup 132 00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:30,760 Speaker 2: guards are doing. 133 00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:33,320 Speaker 4: We'll give us an opportunity to evaluate. That's you know, 134 00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:36,280 Speaker 4: going back to I always say it's Darwinism. So something happens, 135 00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:39,520 Speaker 4: we need somebody to step in and and and uh, 136 00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:41,839 Speaker 4: you know, fill that void. So we're getting an opportunity 137 00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:44,600 Speaker 4: to see guys and to see, you know, how they 138 00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:47,280 Speaker 4: mix and match with the players that we have, you know, 139 00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:50,560 Speaker 4: the starters. Zach's not here, but other guys are getting 140 00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:53,680 Speaker 4: the opportunity. And you know, we got to show who 141 00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:55,320 Speaker 4: if things don't work out, who's gonna be. 142 00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:57,520 Speaker 2: In the six to eight guard? Right now? What we 143 00:05:57,560 --> 00:05:59,880 Speaker 2: see and uh, and that that doesn't sound good in 144 00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:02,040 Speaker 2: that doesn't sound right in the NBA, It doesn't even 145 00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:04,600 Speaker 2: sound right in the NFL. But Josh Ball's trying to 146 00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:07,159 Speaker 2: do that. Obviously, leverage is a big deal. But is 147 00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:09,360 Speaker 2: he You like what you're seeing so far, the guy 148 00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:09,720 Speaker 2: that's tall. 149 00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:11,719 Speaker 4: Yeah, Football is a game of leverage and angles, and 150 00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:13,800 Speaker 4: you've got to be able to play with leverage on 151 00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:15,400 Speaker 4: the line, and so you got to be able. 152 00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:17,320 Speaker 3: To bend, which is your angles. He can do all 153 00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:17,960 Speaker 3: that stuff. 154 00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:20,919 Speaker 4: He's a big, powerful, athletic guy, and so we're putting 155 00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:22,560 Speaker 4: him in a position to see if he can handle it. 156 00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:25,919 Speaker 2: Well. I could probably ask a hundred questions here, you know, 157 00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:28,120 Speaker 2: all day long. Of course, you don't have time for that, 158 00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:30,560 Speaker 2: so I appreciated that the time. I know this was 159 00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:33,279 Speaker 2: last second. So we really really excited to have you 160 00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:36,479 Speaker 2: here and hopefully again sometime down during the season we 161 00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:37,640 Speaker 2: can get and get your opinion. 162 00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:40,240 Speaker 3: Always down to talk to you, all right. 163 00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:43,000 Speaker 2: That's Will McLay, the vice president of player Personnel.

Is it weight room, how you feel? 233 00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:14,800 Speaker 2: Is it just knowing what to expect coming into talks learned? 234 00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:19,480 Speaker 9: For me, it was my mind. You know, I felt 235 00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:21,280 Speaker 9: like sometimes like last year I was playing more so 236 00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:24,760 Speaker 9: on instincts than anything. So I like, I'm just trying 237 00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:26,800 Speaker 9: to get my mind speed up to part. So that's 238 00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:29,240 Speaker 9: nothing on the defense. Knowing how offenses are attacking this 239 00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:30,800 Speaker 9: in the situations. 240 00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:34,079 Speaker 2: Your your confidence has got to be a lot different 241 00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:36,360 Speaker 2: than it was last year. You come in now and 242 00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:38,960 Speaker 2: when you led the team and picks last year and 243 00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:42,120 Speaker 2: and and you know, really showed you could play inside outside. 244 00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:46,200 Speaker 2: Confidence for corners gotta be the biggest thing, right. 245 00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:48,840 Speaker 9: Oh, you gotta the top two things you gotta always 246 00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:51,520 Speaker 9: have confidence, you know, because you know some players they 247 00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:53,199 Speaker 9: don't get you, and some players are gonna get got 248 00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:55,880 Speaker 9: I mean get your get your uh get them back. 249 00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:58,880 Speaker 9: So you guy always had a top tier confidence. 250 00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:01,480 Speaker 2: So and I also took been told you gotta have 251 00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:03,400 Speaker 2: great confidence for corner. You also have to have a 252 00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:05,880 Speaker 2: bad memory. So if you give up a play, gotta 253 00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:08,800 Speaker 2: let it go. Now, how about the flip side.

He's quick, fast too, 286 00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:38,199 Speaker 9: so and then Tobert that's how he gets in and 287 00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:40,920 Speaker 9: out of his breaks. Yeah, that's what the hard parts 288 00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:41,719 Speaker 9: about him. 289 00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:43,960 Speaker 2: Have you seen a year two jump for him as well? 290 00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:45,800 Speaker 2: He's seen him a little much different than the receiver 291 00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:46,360 Speaker 2: than last year. 292 00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:48,840 Speaker 9: You always talked, so you always thought about how do you do. 293 00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:50,640 Speaker 9: I'm going to you this year, so he has the 294 00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:51,640 Speaker 9: right mindset this year. 295 00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:55,400 Speaker 2: So all right, all right, Brett Bender has a question 296 00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:57,599 Speaker 2: for you. Said, after a great rookie year, setting the 297 00:12:57,600 --> 00:12:59,400 Speaker 2: bar high for yourself with five picks, what are the 298 00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:01,760 Speaker 2: goals do you have this year for your growth as 299 00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:02,480 Speaker 2: a player. 300 00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:04,839 Speaker 9: Based off last year? 301 00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:11,679 Speaker 2: Mm hmm got individual goals? 302 00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:12,600 Speaker 1: Uh? 303 00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:15,120 Speaker 9: Yeah, you know, I'm trying to at least get five 304 00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:16,959 Speaker 9: or more, at least trying to get it, try to 305 00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:22,480 Speaker 9: top of that game. So I'll probably say also get 306 00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:24,800 Speaker 9: better at tackling the biggest things too. 307 00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:29,280 Speaker 2: So you you've played inside, played some outside. What what 308 00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:32,240 Speaker 2: is it? How tough is it to kind of go 309 00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:35,320 Speaker 2: back and forth? Or is it because receivers are lined 310 00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:37,360 Speaker 2: up inside and out? Is it? Is it much different 311 00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:38,640 Speaker 2: when you line up inside and out? 312 00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:41,839 Speaker 9: At first, it was definitely hard. You know, there's different 313 00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:44,079 Speaker 9: views and being inside and outside. Some things on the 314 00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:47,880 Speaker 9: inside come quicker than they are coming outside. So at 315 00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:49,640 Speaker 9: first it was hard, but once you get the hang 316 00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:50,559 Speaker 9: of it, it's kind of easy. 317 00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:53,520 Speaker 2: All right. Here's a good one from Daniel Barnett. He said, 318 00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:55,400 Speaker 2: you know, after your success as a rookie year, are 319 00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:58,080 Speaker 2: you now you're your second year guy, you sharing some 320 00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:00,120 Speaker 2: of the success you had to help?

He teaches how 333 00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:35,040 Speaker 9: to uh, how he treats his body and everything, how 334 00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:38,120 Speaker 9: he likes to practice, and what his mindset of practice do, 335 00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:40,600 Speaker 9: like just being intentional every day in practice. 336 00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:43,480 Speaker 2: There's been a lot of talk here at camp, probably 337 00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:45,160 Speaker 2: a lot of it unnecessary, but I'm going to bring 338 00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:48,600 Speaker 2: it up too. Digs and Deck they like to chirp 339 00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:51,160 Speaker 2: a little bit, you know, and but that's what cornerbacks do. 340 00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:53,920 Speaker 2: The greatest one of all time talked all the time, 341 00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:56,480 Speaker 2: of course, Dion, And that's my opinion. At least as 342 00:14:56,480 --> 00:14:59,760 Speaker 2: the best corner. How healthy is that for you guys 343 00:14:59,840 --> 00:15:03,640 Speaker 2: to to battle with with the receivers and the quarterbacks 344 00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:05,680 Speaker 2: and raise the level of competition and practice. 345 00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:09,600 Speaker 9: Let's show each other we're here to fight. You know, 346 00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:11,600 Speaker 9: we both got each other's backs and when it comes 347 00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:13,680 Speaker 9: to the game. But right now you're going against each other. 348 00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:17,280 Speaker 2: We both dogs. What's each other? What's your level of 349 00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:20,080 Speaker 2: trash talk? From zero to ten? I mean, I honestly, 350 00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:22,520 Speaker 2: I'm out there and I don't hear a lot out 351 00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:23,720 Speaker 2: of you. Do you do? You? 352 00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:23,640 Speaker 6: Do? 353 00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:27,240 Speaker 2: You bark a little bit? Now? What if a receiver 354 00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:35,760 Speaker 2: beats you and says, yeah, all day, Okay, that's good. 355 00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:38,400 Speaker 2: I mean, you know, everybody's got their own their own style. 356 00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:41,080 Speaker 2: From what I hear, Diggs doesn't talk to receivers at all. 357 00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:42,760 Speaker 2: It's only Dak that kind of gets him kind of 358 00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:46,600 Speaker 2: riled up for some reason. So but yeah, hey, what 359 00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:48,320 Speaker 2: works for you for anybody? 360 00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:48,680 Speaker 3: I guess? 361 00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:53,080 Speaker 2: So all right, sorry, off the field here, what's it 362 00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:55,880 Speaker 2: been like second year here?

Look to thank both of them for 461 00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:45,880 Speaker 2: coming by talking about everything training, camp, competition, battling with receivers, 462 00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:50,720 Speaker 2: trash talk, all that good stuff. I told Will afterwards. 463 00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:53,879 Speaker 2: I mean, both of them are really good at talking 464 00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:56,159 Speaker 2: and being really nice with the with the answers and 465 00:20:56,240 --> 00:20:58,560 Speaker 2: not seeing a whole lot. That's that's an art. That's 466 00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:02,160 Speaker 2: an art. Romo was really good at that as well. Now, 467 00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:05,320 Speaker 2: but for Will McClay situation, I mean, what you know 468 00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:08,920 Speaker 2: he was, he was. His thing is is that he 469 00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:12,080 Speaker 2: don't want to talk about any receiver, any running but 470 00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:16,119 Speaker 2: any good player, because all that does is it exposes him. 471 00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:19,879 Speaker 2: I guess two other teams, but I can say right now, 472 00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:22,160 Speaker 2: I don't think Jalen Brooks is going anywhere. I don't 473 00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:24,120 Speaker 2: think you're sneaking to him by anything. But we'll see, 474 00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:26,600 Speaker 2: we'll see what happens with the games going on, all right, 475 00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:30,399 Speaker 2: this is the last segment that we get the fans questions. 476 00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:32,400 Speaker 2: We got a few of them here, so we're gonna 477 00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:34,080 Speaker 2: kind of roll through them. We've got him on the 478 00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:36,560 Speaker 2: text line that have come in. We've got some from 479 00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:41,000 Speaker 2: Twitter as well, so I'll start with this one. You know, 480 00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:42,720 Speaker 2: he's starting to see them some of the same name, 481 00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:45,160 Speaker 2: some of these guys that are like committed to the show. 482 00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:47,280 Speaker 2: I like a little bit more, but I like, I 483 00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:49,600 Speaker 2: like what I'm seeing, you know, with the guy like 484 00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:52,360 Speaker 2: a Brett Bender every time. He actually asked one earlier 485 00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:55,600 Speaker 2: to Doran, but he asked this one too. Though we 486 00:21:55,720 --> 00:21:58,080 Speaker 2: use a high pick on Kelvin Joseph. Could he be 487 00:21:58,119 --> 00:22:00,320 Speaker 2: a surprise Cup this year? I know he's been on 488 00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:02,320 Speaker 2: special teams. We have a bunch of young guys. I'm 489 00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:04,960 Speaker 2: not sure how much longer we hold on to Josel 490 00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:10,520 Speaker 2: thirty year guy. Obviously he's had his issues off the field. 491 00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:14,280 Speaker 2: That hasn't had one and you know this year. But 492 00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:18,800 Speaker 2: I mean it's always a matter of just what does 493 00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:21,760 Speaker 2: he provide? Does he provide for you? And he's a 494 00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:25,000 Speaker 2: second round pick, so yeah, that's that's good. But you'd 495 00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:27,240 Speaker 2: like to think your second round pick would do more 496 00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:29,960 Speaker 2: than just special teams. He wasn't drafted to play special teams. 497 00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:32,159 Speaker 2: He was drafted to be a really, really good corner, 498 00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:34,960 Speaker 2: and you know he has his moments there. He is 499 00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:40,760 Speaker 2: a very athletic player. He's strong. So like any player, 500 00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:43,199 Speaker 2: it comes down to is he the best option that 501 00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:47,280 Speaker 2: you have? I think draft status at this point out 502 00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:48,880 Speaker 2: of the wind. You know, it's out the window at 503 00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:50,880 Speaker 2: this time, I really do. I think that it's if 504 00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:54,200 Speaker 2: he's not better then Nishan Wright and Eric Scott and 505 00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:56,880 Speaker 2: those guys, then I think the Cowboys probably could move 506 00:22:56,920 --> 00:23:00,240 Speaker 2: on from him if if that's what they would they 507 00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:04,280 Speaker 2: want to do. I'm sure Bones Fossil would love to 508 00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:07,359 Speaker 2: have him on special teams, but I think at this 509 00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:09,520 Speaker 2: point it's got to be a little bit more than that, 510 00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:13,200 Speaker 2: all right, Daniel Vega from Austin, Texas. It does doesn't 511 00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:16,080 Speaker 2: seem like we've heard a lot about Jabril Cox this year. 512 00:23:16,119 --> 00:23:18,520 Speaker 2: He's not a guy that could be on the outside 513 00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:23,159 Speaker 2: looking in, right right. I don't think he is on 514 00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:25,240 Speaker 2: the outside looking in. I think he's a part of 515 00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:29,720 Speaker 2: the plans. Again, another draft pick that that they had 516 00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:33,560 Speaker 2: some high hopes for He's had some injury issues, but 517 00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:36,000 Speaker 2: he actually has looked pretty good. I know, if you 518 00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:40,119 Speaker 2: listen to Nate Newton, who watches a lot of you know, 519 00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:43,199 Speaker 2: the trenches and the inside stuff, he really likes what 520 00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:46,399 Speaker 2: he sees about Jabril Cox going in there filling the gap, 521 00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:52,520 Speaker 2: making plays and run support, which for a smaller size linebacker. 522 00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:56,000 Speaker 2: That that's one of those those areas that you know, 523 00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:58,000 Speaker 2: can it can be dicey at times? Are you going 524 00:23:58,040 --> 00:24:00,639 Speaker 2: to go up and fill? And he's done that pretty 525 00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:02,960 Speaker 2: good so far from what we've seen in practice. Another 526 00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:06,359 Speaker 2: good special teams guy linebackers. There's not a ton of 527 00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:09,080 Speaker 2: depth there. I just don't see it's anario where Jabrill 528 00:24:09,119 --> 00:24:13,199 Speaker 2: Cox doesn't make this team. So a good question. You know, 529 00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:15,720 Speaker 2: sometimes not being heard is a good thing. It's not 530 00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:18,840 Speaker 2: always a good thing to be like getting talked about 531 00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:21,400 Speaker 2: all the time. So yeah, I think that's that's good. 532 00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:21,760 Speaker 3: All right. 533 00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:25,880 Speaker 2: Go to the text line here, George in DC he says, 534 00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:28,760 Speaker 2: do you feel the starter should play at least a 535 00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:32,159 Speaker 2: couple of series during preseason games? No? I don't. I 536 00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:36,359 Speaker 2: don't feel that way. I just don't think they have 537 00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:39,080 Speaker 2: to play hardly at all. I mean again, I've totally 538 00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:42,040 Speaker 2: changed my tune there. I just don't think that they 539 00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:45,920 Speaker 2: need to. I think an injuries injuries are just way 540 00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:50,280 Speaker 2: just the pros and cons that just it's too much 541 00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:54,600 Speaker 2: for now. If you really want to see some guys 542 00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:57,920 Speaker 2: play a certain position, that's fine, but that's not typically 543 00:24:57,960 --> 00:25:01,520 Speaker 2: the case from your starters. So so your starters that 544 00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:04,040 Speaker 2: that you know are making the team and and you 545 00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:07,120 Speaker 2: know are going to start, I'm not playing them. If 546 00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:09,840 Speaker 2: there's a guy that could start and maybe he's got 547 00:25:09,920 --> 00:25:12,639 Speaker 2: he's got to win the job, like I say a 548 00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:15,640 Speaker 2: Jake Ferguson or something, then then I'm for that because 549 00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:19,000 Speaker 2: that's a good way to separate the two. But then 550 00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:22,080 Speaker 2: there's a domino effect though. It's like, well, you can't 551 00:25:22,119 --> 00:25:25,320 Speaker 2: say I want to play this starting running back, but 552 00:25:25,359 --> 00:25:27,480 Speaker 2: I don't want to play the offensive line, because then 553 00:25:27,520 --> 00:25:30,720 Speaker 2: you're not getting a good getting, you know, a really 554 00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:35,199 Speaker 2: good stance on anything. If if you're not, you're not 555 00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:38,560 Speaker 2: seeing the running backs behind the first team line and 556 00:25:38,560 --> 00:25:40,320 Speaker 2: all that. So they kind of kind of go hand 557 00:25:40,359 --> 00:25:42,520 Speaker 2: in hand. Another question, the speaking of running back to 558 00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:45,399 Speaker 2: another question, I'll stick with George from DC doubles up. 559 00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:48,000 Speaker 2: He says, what do you guys think of the chances 560 00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:54,160 Speaker 2: of Zach Martin retiring this year? Where he says retiring 561 00:25:55,320 --> 00:25:57,400 Speaker 2: in general. Yeah, I think there's one hundred cent chances 562 00:25:57,400 --> 00:25:59,959 Speaker 2: he's going to retire at some point in his career 563 00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:03,879 Speaker 2: this year. I don't think that if you were gonna 564 00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:08,480 Speaker 2: do that, I mean, I don't know, do you get 565 00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:12,760 Speaker 2: your money back? I mean, because you're holding out now, 566 00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:14,960 Speaker 2: you're not moved over to the list. But I mean, 567 00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:18,760 Speaker 2: if you were gonna do that, maybe you just retire, 568 00:26:20,280 --> 00:26:22,320 Speaker 2: you know, getting you know, getting the eight hundred thousand 569 00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:27,400 Speaker 2: dollars fine and counting. I don't think that's happened. That's 570 00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:29,880 Speaker 2: not what the stance is. The stance is to make 571 00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:31,960 Speaker 2: more money. When you make more money because you're playing. 572 00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:36,880 Speaker 2: I think he's thinking about it, but not not right now, 573 00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:40,160 Speaker 2: not this year. All right, Lena, keep going. M J. Stewart. 574 00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:43,960 Speaker 2: Any chance Will Greer beats out Cooper Rush for the 575 00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:50,160 Speaker 2: number two job? What has to happen for that? Yeah, 576 00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:51,959 Speaker 2: it could happen. Will Greer plays a lot better than 577 00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:54,640 Speaker 2: Cooper Rush in the preseason games. They're both gonna play. 578 00:26:54,640 --> 00:26:56,920 Speaker 2: I mean, Dak's not gonna play. There's only three quarterbacks. 579 00:26:56,960 --> 00:26:58,920 Speaker 2: So those two guys are gonna play a lot. One 580 00:26:58,920 --> 00:27:01,480 Speaker 2: guy's gonna have to play considerably better than the other. 581 00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:04,879 Speaker 2: If it's even Cooper Rush keeps it, If it's close, 582 00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:07,439 Speaker 2: Cooper Rush keeps it. Will Greer is gonna have to 583 00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:11,320 Speaker 2: be head and shoulders better than Cooper Rush to probably 584 00:27:11,320 --> 00:27:16,240 Speaker 2: be the number two quarterback. And to do that, you're 585 00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:19,080 Speaker 2: gonna have to play, you know, with with the with 586 00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:22,600 Speaker 2: those guys, with those starters, or at least core players. 587 00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:25,560 Speaker 2: So the Cowboys are going to have to decide if 588 00:27:25,600 --> 00:27:29,520 Speaker 2: that's what they want to do, all right, Looking for 589 00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:34,160 Speaker 2: some more questions here on the text line, Uh, this 590 00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:38,400 Speaker 2: one's just from a two five to four number. Phillip Jackson. 591 00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:42,399 Speaker 2: He said, with the new faster Texas Coast offense, what 592 00:27:42,520 --> 00:27:44,919 Speaker 2: are the chances we see more two back sets? I 593 00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:49,680 Speaker 2: think that would create a lot of problems for defenses. Yeah, 594 00:27:49,880 --> 00:27:53,160 Speaker 2: I mean, especially if Deuce is involved there, Deuce being 595 00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:55,359 Speaker 2: one of the backs, I mean, that's gonna be just 596 00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:59,080 Speaker 2: a kind of a weird dynamic for for defenses in general. 597 00:27:59,080 --> 00:28:02,880 Speaker 2: They're gonna have to figure out how to stop him. So, uh, yeah, 598 00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:06,960 Speaker 2: I definitely think that you could see some two backs there. 599 00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:11,760 Speaker 2: Don't know if it's going to be. I couldn't see 600 00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:15,560 Speaker 2: like a Moleak and Pollard, but it's got to be 601 00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:20,600 Speaker 2: another back that does some dynamic things. All right, Cowboy 602 00:28:20,760 --> 00:28:23,520 Speaker 2: Life for twelve. Do you remember when Turpin had the 603 00:28:23,520 --> 00:28:26,119 Speaker 2: two returns last year and they pulled him for the 604 00:28:26,119 --> 00:28:28,880 Speaker 2: rest of the preseason. Do you think he will get 605 00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:32,920 Speaker 2: the same treatment now? Well, if he takes two back 606 00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:35,360 Speaker 2: to the house in the first game, then yeah, probably. 607 00:28:37,680 --> 00:28:40,400 Speaker 2: I don't know. I think for him he needs to 608 00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:42,920 Speaker 2: play wide receiver. That's what we need to see him 609 00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:48,280 Speaker 2: in the preseason kick returns. Maybe not because Deuce Vaughan 610 00:28:48,360 --> 00:28:49,720 Speaker 2: I think could do it and we'd like to see 611 00:28:49,800 --> 00:28:53,959 Speaker 2: him as well, But I want to see Cavante Turpin 612 00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:57,000 Speaker 2: as a wide receiver. That's the one thing that I 613 00:28:57,040 --> 00:29:00,959 Speaker 2: think he should really be used for in the preseason, 614 00:29:01,080 --> 00:29:04,760 Speaker 2: all right. Julian Ramirez, San Angelo, Texas. It seems to 615 00:29:04,760 --> 00:29:07,840 Speaker 2: be a really quiet camp for DeMarcus Lawrence. Is he hurt? 616 00:29:08,600 --> 00:29:10,120 Speaker 2: What should we expect from the tank? 617 00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:13,640 Speaker 3: Not hurt? 618 00:29:14,600 --> 00:29:17,200 Speaker 2: It's been kind of quiet for him. Yeah, that's not 619 00:29:17,240 --> 00:29:19,040 Speaker 2: a bad thing all the time, you know, I mean, 620 00:29:19,240 --> 00:29:22,200 Speaker 2: I think he's he's played uh he's been he's been good, 621 00:29:22,360 --> 00:29:25,560 Speaker 2: you know. But he's an older guy too. You know, 622 00:29:25,800 --> 00:29:28,080 Speaker 2: I'm not saying he gets veteran days, but I think, 623 00:29:28,400 --> 00:29:30,600 Speaker 2: you know, wearing him out and making him make all 624 00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:33,640 Speaker 2: these plays out here, that's not necessarily something that that 625 00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:36,800 Speaker 2: is needed right now. So now I don't I don't 626 00:29:36,840 --> 00:29:39,880 Speaker 2: think that you you have to have that him make 627 00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:45,000 Speaker 2: a lot of plays. Sorry, I'm trying to find this 628 00:29:45,040 --> 00:29:47,200 Speaker 2: one question he's got to do. You know, I don't 629 00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:49,440 Speaker 2: have another another hands up here, So I'm trying to 630 00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:51,400 Speaker 2: find this really good question here I want to answer. 631 00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:54,400 Speaker 2: Going back to DeMarcus Lawrence, I think he's fine this 632 00:29:54,600 --> 00:29:56,719 Speaker 2: He's going to be Russian from the outside, Russian from 633 00:29:56,720 --> 00:29:58,800 Speaker 2: the inside. Remember he's coming off of Pro Bowl season. 634 00:29:58,840 --> 00:30:01,760 Speaker 2: DeMarcus Lawrence is it's fine. They're just making sure that 635 00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:06,600 Speaker 2: they take care of him. But I can't say there's 636 00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:09,880 Speaker 2: been any issues with him. I expect another big season 637 00:30:10,360 --> 00:30:12,280 Speaker 2: out of him. All right, this is one I was 638 00:30:12,280 --> 00:30:17,440 Speaker 2: looking for here. Maurice McCrae, Danny's brother. Maybe no, maybe 639 00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:22,200 Speaker 2: not from Tacoma, Washington, longtime listener, lifetime Cowboys fan. All right, 640 00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:26,840 Speaker 2: scenario here, it's fourth and two. The opponent has no timeouts, 641 00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:29,560 Speaker 2: two minutes left on the clock. Who are you giving 642 00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:36,040 Speaker 2: the ball to to seal the deal? No timeouts means 643 00:30:36,040 --> 00:30:41,560 Speaker 2: you get a first down, the game is over. I'm 644 00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:44,920 Speaker 2: not dodging the question, but I would like to know 645 00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:47,720 Speaker 2: what happened in the first fifty eight minutes of the game. 646 00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:51,360 Speaker 2: I mean free co Dadle has one hundred and thirty 647 00:30:51,360 --> 00:30:53,600 Speaker 2: seven yards. I mean, like, I think he's probably getting 648 00:30:53,600 --> 00:30:56,600 Speaker 2: the ball. I mean, but I get Let's play along. 649 00:30:56,680 --> 00:31:01,040 Speaker 2: Let's play along with the spirit of the question. That's 650 00:31:01,080 --> 00:31:04,920 Speaker 2: a tough question because it's fourth and two, like you 651 00:31:04,960 --> 00:31:09,960 Speaker 2: gotta you gotta get it and it and it's you 652 00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:13,440 Speaker 2: want to pass it, but you have to keep the 653 00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:17,360 Speaker 2: clock started one hundred, keep the clock rolling. I'm sorry, 654 00:31:17,760 --> 00:31:22,560 Speaker 2: So I think it's a bubble screen. I think it's 655 00:31:22,560 --> 00:31:26,120 Speaker 2: a bubble screen. To to CD or Cooks, that's what 656 00:31:26,160 --> 00:31:28,760 Speaker 2: I think. We'll fake, little little little quick pass there. 657 00:31:28,760 --> 00:31:31,440 Speaker 2: You got blockers in front, make sure you catch the football, 658 00:31:31,640 --> 00:31:33,560 Speaker 2: and then that you got the guy in space. That's 659 00:31:33,600 --> 00:31:35,320 Speaker 2: what I do on fourth and two. Now fourth and one, 660 00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:36,920 Speaker 2: let's change it to fourth and one. I know what 661 00:31:36,960 --> 00:31:39,680 Speaker 2: you're really asking, who's running the football for fourth and 662 00:31:39,720 --> 00:31:42,440 Speaker 2: one because it's fourth and two. I don't know if 663 00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:45,000 Speaker 2: I don't know if I like Zeke doing that. Honestly, 664 00:31:45,040 --> 00:31:46,920 Speaker 2: it's a lot when they know you're running the football. 665 00:31:47,680 --> 00:31:49,640 Speaker 2: So if it's fourth and two, I'm probably throwing a 666 00:31:49,640 --> 00:31:51,840 Speaker 2: bubble screen something I can keep the keep the clock 667 00:31:51,920 --> 00:31:55,040 Speaker 2: rolling safe pass, but also in in in the space 668 00:31:55,840 --> 00:31:59,560 Speaker 2: I'm also fourth and one. I probably I'm going with Dak. 669 00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:02,480 Speaker 2: I'm going back until the NFL changes the rules on 670 00:32:02,560 --> 00:32:04,920 Speaker 2: pushing from behind. I go with Dak and I let 671 00:32:04,920 --> 00:32:08,400 Speaker 2: somebody somebody shove him in the back and try to 672 00:32:08,400 --> 00:32:09,960 Speaker 2: get that. I think he's your biggest back right now 673 00:32:10,040 --> 00:32:12,000 Speaker 2: that can probably get the one yard. So that's what 674 00:32:12,040 --> 00:32:14,280 Speaker 2: I would do. I hope that answered the question right. 675 00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:20,240 Speaker 2: All right? Marcus Hunter from Shreveport, Louisiana, shout out my birthplace. 676 00:32:21,400 --> 00:32:23,640 Speaker 2: First year of my life there was good year. All right, 677 00:32:24,400 --> 00:32:27,520 Speaker 2: Marcus Hunter, any undrafted free agent standing out this year? 678 00:32:27,800 --> 00:32:29,680 Speaker 2: Why do you think the Cowboys have had success? Here? 679 00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:31,640 Speaker 2: And then he doubles up and says, who are the 680 00:32:31,640 --> 00:32:36,280 Speaker 2: top five in Cowboys history? All right, let's start with 681 00:32:36,480 --> 00:32:42,960 Speaker 2: who's standing out this year? TJ. Bass I think has 682 00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:45,920 Speaker 2: a chance to do some things at guard looks pretty good. 683 00:32:46,800 --> 00:32:50,480 Speaker 2: Jaylen Marino Cropper had a good start to training camp. 684 00:32:50,520 --> 00:32:52,080 Speaker 2: He's kind of leveled off a little bit, but he's 685 00:32:52,080 --> 00:32:57,640 Speaker 2: made some nice place. Miles Brooks cornerback, seems to kind 686 00:32:57,640 --> 00:33:01,520 Speaker 2: of always do something positive there, So I like what 687 00:33:01,560 --> 00:33:05,760 Speaker 2: I'm seeing out of him. I haven't seen a ton 688 00:33:05,840 --> 00:33:09,120 Speaker 2: out of a hundred lipke just yet. But the guy 689 00:33:09,160 --> 00:33:13,440 Speaker 2: that's probably doing the most is a tight end slash 690 00:33:13,520 --> 00:33:18,000 Speaker 2: receiver John Stevens. That guy has has got something to 691 00:33:18,120 --> 00:33:24,240 Speaker 2: him and he's about sixty six, number forty nine. They've 692 00:33:24,280 --> 00:33:26,080 Speaker 2: lest ed him as a receiver. He's working with the 693 00:33:26,120 --> 00:33:29,080 Speaker 2: tight ends, but that dynamic alone just tells you that 694 00:33:29,200 --> 00:33:31,560 Speaker 2: what he can do. And I talked to the tight 695 00:33:31,640 --> 00:33:33,640 Speaker 2: end coach, Lunda Wells the other day and he says 696 00:33:33,760 --> 00:33:37,480 Speaker 2: that he is blocking way better than maybe anticipated for 697 00:33:37,520 --> 00:33:40,080 Speaker 2: a guy with that is sixty six. He's kind of lean, 698 00:33:40,640 --> 00:33:43,120 Speaker 2: and he actually mixes it up pretty good. So that 699 00:33:43,320 --> 00:33:45,520 Speaker 2: is a very good combination of a guy that can 700 00:33:45,560 --> 00:33:48,560 Speaker 2: catch from the outside not afraid to mix it up inside. 701 00:33:48,680 --> 00:33:53,240 Speaker 2: Why the Cowboys had success there, well, I mean it's recruiting, 702 00:33:54,040 --> 00:33:55,960 Speaker 2: and that's a part of it, you know. I mean 703 00:33:55,960 --> 00:33:57,960 Speaker 2: that's what it comes down to. I mean, the Cowboys 704 00:33:58,000 --> 00:34:00,880 Speaker 2: are a franchised that still people I think would want 705 00:34:00,880 --> 00:34:03,560 Speaker 2: to go to. And so when you get down to it, 706 00:34:03,600 --> 00:34:08,680 Speaker 2: you are recruiting, and because you've had success, then they 707 00:34:08,760 --> 00:34:11,319 Speaker 2: know that agents know that the Cowboys have value in that. 708 00:34:11,400 --> 00:34:13,120 Speaker 2: So just because you're coming as an undrafted free chie 709 00:34:13,120 --> 00:34:14,560 Speaker 2: doesn't mean you're not gonna have a chance. I mean, 710 00:34:14,600 --> 00:34:16,839 Speaker 2: there's guys that have done it, so I think that 711 00:34:16,880 --> 00:34:20,319 Speaker 2: they've they've developed players in the past and that that 712 00:34:20,400 --> 00:34:23,440 Speaker 2: kind of helps the pipeline. And you know, I just 713 00:34:23,600 --> 00:34:26,840 Speaker 2: also thinks, you know, it's it's it's a play and 714 00:34:27,400 --> 00:34:30,400 Speaker 2: no knock at other teams. I mean, if there's another 715 00:34:30,480 --> 00:34:33,880 Speaker 2: team that has an opening that running back could maybe 716 00:34:33,920 --> 00:34:36,719 Speaker 2: make the team or maybe even potential start, Like you 717 00:34:36,800 --> 00:34:38,920 Speaker 2: got to look at that. But I think there's a 718 00:34:38,920 --> 00:34:40,279 Speaker 2: lot of teams that are kind of the same and 719 00:34:40,400 --> 00:34:42,319 Speaker 2: and the Cowboys still kind of have that, you know, 720 00:34:42,360 --> 00:34:46,480 Speaker 2: they have that star, they have that mystique. So that's 721 00:34:46,880 --> 00:34:48,799 Speaker 2: part of it. And then but more than anything, it's 722 00:34:48,840 --> 00:34:51,839 Speaker 2: the success. Who are the top five of all time? 723 00:34:52,840 --> 00:34:55,480 Speaker 2: I mean it you know, you got your I mean 724 00:34:55,520 --> 00:35:01,680 Speaker 2: Drew Pearson and Cliff Harris and Tony Romo and I 725 00:35:01,680 --> 00:35:05,279 Speaker 2: probably should have written these down. I mean, I know 726 00:35:05,360 --> 00:35:08,440 Speaker 2: I'm I'm missing some. I mean I think of Cole Beasley, 727 00:35:08,560 --> 00:35:12,200 Speaker 2: and I think of Miles Austin and and Dan Bailey, 728 00:35:12,360 --> 00:35:17,759 Speaker 2: who was it was a good one recent guys, Uh, 729 00:35:18,400 --> 00:35:20,880 Speaker 2: I mean Ron Leary, Lance Dunbar. You know, I'm just 730 00:35:20,880 --> 00:35:23,839 Speaker 2: thinking of some like that. I mean this team has 731 00:35:23,880 --> 00:35:28,239 Speaker 2: some some as well. Like currently I'm not thinking of 732 00:35:28,280 --> 00:35:30,160 Speaker 2: it as much, but I mean you asked for five. 733 00:35:30,239 --> 00:35:31,800 Speaker 2: I mean, those are those are the guys there. I 734 00:35:31,840 --> 00:35:34,040 Speaker 2: mean you got you got your your Ring of Honor 735 00:35:34,040 --> 00:35:36,920 Speaker 2: and some Hall of famers there, and uh, Andrew Pearson 736 00:35:36,960 --> 00:35:39,319 Speaker 2: and Cliff Harris and you know, I mean Romo is 737 00:35:39,320 --> 00:35:41,799 Speaker 2: probably one of the very best of all time, just 738 00:35:41,840 --> 00:35:45,440 Speaker 2: because you know, you're the face of the franchise, your 739 00:35:45,480 --> 00:35:48,719 Speaker 2: guy from eastern Illinois, and you come in and and 740 00:35:48,760 --> 00:35:50,960 Speaker 2: you know, with Bill Parcells, and you sit for two 741 00:35:51,040 --> 00:35:52,960 Speaker 2: years or so and then you become, you know, in 742 00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:55,160 Speaker 2: the face of the franchise. And as I've said before, 743 00:35:55,760 --> 00:35:59,480 Speaker 2: you know he's the diaper. You know, that's where that's 744 00:35:59,480 --> 00:36:02,799 Speaker 2: the nickname I gave Tony Romo, and I've never you 745 00:36:02,840 --> 00:36:04,920 Speaker 2: can give it to other people. I've never given it 746 00:36:04,960 --> 00:36:09,239 Speaker 2: to anyone else. But Tony Romo was the diaper for 747 00:36:09,320 --> 00:36:11,560 Speaker 2: this team. And I can say that because I have kids. 748 00:36:11,560 --> 00:36:14,080 Speaker 2: I've had enough to know that if you take the 749 00:36:14,120 --> 00:36:17,920 Speaker 2: diaper away, his thinks it doesn't look good. There's a 750 00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:20,640 Speaker 2: lot of crap in there that gets covered up by 751 00:36:20,719 --> 00:36:22,960 Speaker 2: the diaper. The diaper can do that, and that's what happens. 752 00:36:22,960 --> 00:36:25,160 Speaker 2: We saw when Romo wasn't there, the team was really 753 00:36:25,200 --> 00:36:27,319 Speaker 2: really bad, and it was the same season that they 754 00:36:27,360 --> 00:36:31,520 Speaker 2: were really good. So I think Romo is probably one 755 00:36:31,520 --> 00:36:34,520 Speaker 2: of the probably the greatest undrafted free agent of all time, 756 00:36:34,560 --> 00:36:36,279 Speaker 2: because he was the face of the franchise and when 757 00:36:36,280 --> 00:36:38,400 Speaker 2: people like to compare him to Danny White, no disrespect 758 00:36:38,400 --> 00:36:40,600 Speaker 2: to Danny White, but Danny White took over a team 759 00:36:40,800 --> 00:36:43,799 Speaker 2: in nineteen eighty and the team went downhill, even though 760 00:36:43,800 --> 00:36:45,440 Speaker 2: they went to the NFC Championship game. They ever went 761 00:36:45,480 --> 00:36:47,920 Speaker 2: to the Super Bowl. Stallback had that team and they 762 00:36:48,040 --> 00:36:50,600 Speaker 2: kind of were on the decline. Romo took over a team, 763 00:36:50,719 --> 00:36:53,040 Speaker 2: the team was better, and the team was better. And 764 00:36:53,040 --> 00:36:54,959 Speaker 2: then when Dak came in, same thing. Dak was ready 765 00:36:55,000 --> 00:36:56,800 Speaker 2: to go. And you got to give Dak credit to 766 00:36:56,920 --> 00:36:59,520 Speaker 2: but undrafted free agent. If that was the question, the 767 00:36:59,520 --> 00:37:03,879 Speaker 2: best of our time, Uh, I say romo with with 768 00:37:04,040 --> 00:37:07,480 Speaker 2: Pearson obviously Pearson and Cliff Harris right there as a 769 00:37:07,520 --> 00:37:10,560 Speaker 2: close second. All Right, that's that'll do it for today's show. 770 00:37:10,560 --> 00:37:12,880 Speaker 2: We've had a lot of a lot of contributors here. 771 00:37:12,920 --> 00:37:15,200 Speaker 2: We started off with Will McLay, then we had Deron 772 00:37:15,239 --> 00:37:17,120 Speaker 2: Blant and we have a lot of great questions from 773 00:37:17,120 --> 00:37:19,719 Speaker 2: you guys. Uh this will be this will be our 774 00:37:19,760 --> 00:37:22,319 Speaker 2: last show of the week, but we will come back 775 00:37:22,360 --> 00:37:25,239 Speaker 2: next week and we hope to get that quarterback that's 776 00:37:25,239 --> 00:37:27,080 Speaker 2: the one we're really looking for. But also we got 777 00:37:27,080 --> 00:37:29,919 Speaker 2: some other guests lined up for next week as well, 778 00:37:29,960 --> 00:37:31,759 Speaker 2: so we're really excited about that. All right. So for 779 00:37:31,880 --> 00:37:34,120 Speaker 2: Chris Beam, I'm Nick Keaman.
