We had a Miller Lite or 0:01:24.880 --> 0:01:26.400 two while we were out there, so that was always 0:01:26.400 --> 0:01:28.800 a lot of fun. But black rifle RTD right now, 0:01:28.840 --> 0:01:30.679 that was exactly that's why we're here. 0:01:31.680 --> 0:01:33.840 Can we have that request?

They sent us 0:01:43.800 --> 0:01:46.240 some last year. Kyle, I think it would be perfect 0:01:46.480 --> 0:01:49.640 if we had a shipment sitting down here camp. 0:01:49.680 --> 0:01:52.920 So every morning we can have our RTD black rifle. Cough, 0:01:52.920 --> 0:01:53.400 what'd you think? 0:01:53.440 --> 0:01:53.800 I agree? 0:01:53.880 --> 0:01:57.280 I agree? This is a thing. John just get used 0:01:57.320 --> 0:01:59.560 to it every once in a while. Stand Back, He 0:01:59.680 --> 0:02:01.720 just looked into the one shot camera and he just 0:02:01.720 --> 0:02:03.800 decides to make a pitch to one of those sponsors. 0:02:03.960 --> 0:02:06.360 Happened with Esselore, It happened with all the different sponsors 0:02:06.360 --> 0:02:07.520 along the way. I don't even know if I can 0:02:07.560 --> 0:02:10.959 say their name yet, but anymore, but quicker oats, it'll 0:02:11.000 --> 0:02:13.760 happen at some point, Like yeah, it's always a he's 0:02:13.760 --> 0:02:15.560 a pro. He is a pro. He's a pros pro 0:02:15.840 --> 0:02:18.480 all right. H Like I said, two padded practices down, 0:02:18.560 --> 0:02:22.600 I want to get first impressions on how they've looked, 0:02:22.639 --> 0:02:25.240 how the team has looked through those two padded practices. 0:02:25.240 --> 0:02:27.000 But first I want to do It's kind of like 0:02:27.080 --> 0:02:28.799 news and notes for those that listened to the show 0:02:28.880 --> 0:02:31.079 last year, I would give it to Patrick, and Patrick 0:02:31.120 --> 0:02:33.639 will give news and notes. Before that, Rob was really 0:02:33.639 --> 0:02:35.240 big on it. But I want to split it up. 0:02:35.240 --> 0:02:37.160 I want everybody to give me one talking point. We 0:02:37.240 --> 0:02:40.119 kind of did it on Monday, where it's one one 0:02:40.160 --> 0:02:42.280 storyline that's really stuck out to you. But I'm gonna 0:02:42.280 --> 0:02:44.760 call him talking points. I just have a better name 0:02:44.800 --> 0:02:46.560 for it now since it is talking cowboys. But John, 0:02:46.560 --> 0:02:48.160 I'll let you start it off. What's the number one 0:02:48.160 --> 0:02:48.800 thing on your mind? 0:02:49.440 --> 0:02:51.000 I mean, I'm not gonna say that this should be 0:02:51.000 --> 0:02:53.359 everybody's number one thing, but for me personally, it's really 0:02:53.400 --> 0:02:58.320 been the offensive line and developing anybody behind that starting five. 0:02:58.360 --> 0:02:59.560 I know we talked about it the other day, but 0:02:59.639 --> 0:03:02.640 especially with Zach Martin not being out here, that's my 0:03:02.760 --> 0:03:06.400 one area of concern is the depth of that offensive line, 0:03:06.520 --> 0:03:08.760 because I do believe that if they can develop some 0:03:08.800 --> 0:03:11.359 depth there that it can it can just fill a 0:03:11.400 --> 0:03:13.160 lot of holes, answer a lot of questions. 0:03:13.320 --> 0:03:14.880 Everything can click because of that. 0:03:15.040 --> 0:03:17.680 So you know, kind of it's just tough out here 0:03:17.720 --> 0:03:21.320 because they're going against a loaded defensive line, and so 0:03:21.440 --> 0:03:23.120 it's you know, I want to come away from these 0:03:23.120 --> 0:03:24.560 practices and share a bunch of stuff of like, no, 0:03:24.680 --> 0:03:27.520 this guy did this, and the defensive line looks monstrous. 0:03:27.560 --> 0:03:28.680 So it's like you, I'm. 0:03:28.600 --> 0:03:31.320 Really looking forward to the preseason games to kind of gauge, Okay, 0:03:31.320 --> 0:03:33.120 where are these some of these guys like Farniac and 0:03:33.200 --> 0:03:35.240 Josh Ball and and we'll let's go against some of 0:03:35.280 --> 0:03:37.000 those guys. But that to me, like when I look 0:03:37.000 --> 0:03:39.640 at the roster, I I'm always going back to the 0:03:39.680 --> 0:03:40.480 offensive line. 0:03:40.560 --> 0:03:42.600 What do you think, Nick on that regard. 0:03:42.440 --> 0:03:45.000 On the offensive line regard, Yeah, the depth worries me 0:03:45.040 --> 0:03:48.480 for sure. You know, I don't feel too comfortable if 0:03:48.520 --> 0:03:50.600 if Zach Martin is not on the field on Week one. 0:03:51.240 --> 0:03:53.160 I wouldn't feel comfortable if he is and then an 0:03:53.160 --> 0:03:56.920 injury happens somewhere down the line. So, like we've talked about, 0:03:56.960 --> 0:03:58.840 I think that's the only position group you could really 0:03:58.880 --> 0:04:00.320 look at and be like, Okay, that's a bit of 0:04:00.320 --> 0:04:02.400 a concern in the depth, Isaiah, he. 0:04:02.400 --> 0:04:04.840 Gives me the bubble, guts Coyle, Yeah, it gives me 0:04:04.880 --> 0:04:05.920 the bubbles. You know what I'm saying. 0:04:05.920 --> 0:04:07.920 You ever had like something that just doesn't sit right? 0:04:08.840 --> 0:04:10.720 They're not settled. I've got that feeling right now. You 0:04:10.760 --> 0:04:11.240 got it right now. 0:04:13.000 --> 0:04:14.800 If you gotta see Kyle, just lean up on one side, 0:04:14.880 --> 0:04:15.920 you'll know what it takes place. 0:04:16.839 --> 0:04:19.200 Yeah, it's just it's unsettling right now. And I am 0:04:19.240 --> 0:04:23.240 not only just because of Zach Martin's absence, but also 0:04:23.920 --> 0:04:25.960 because of the aspect of they're. 0:04:25.839 --> 0:04:27.120 Just moving a lot of guys around. 0:04:27.680 --> 0:04:31.240 And we get it, you know, you gotta protect Tiring, 0:04:31.640 --> 0:04:34.440 We get it, Te Stills coming off of injury. You know, 0:04:34.920 --> 0:04:38.680 we get it. Martin's not here. But like we, as 0:04:39.000 --> 0:04:42.239 you know analysts, we don't have anything to really rest 0:04:42.320 --> 0:04:44.840 on right now. And that's why these preseason games are 0:04:44.839 --> 0:04:47.200 going to be so influential and so it's, you know, 0:04:47.400 --> 0:04:51.680 so just prevalent because we need to know what our 0:04:52.000 --> 0:04:54.279 what's their game plan, because right now it doesn't feel 0:04:54.279 --> 0:04:56.680 as if there is one, even though we know there 0:04:56.760 --> 0:04:59.400 is it's it's it's like it's like a crap game 0:04:59.440 --> 0:05:00.800 right now, man, just d Dyson and you're kind of 0:05:00.800 --> 0:05:01.720 seeing it with falls. 0:05:01.839 --> 0:05:03.480 If you could point in any position group to be 0:05:03.520 --> 0:05:06.320 the Krypsonite on this team, is there, it's a runaway favorite. 0:05:06.360 --> 0:05:08.640 Yeah, no doubt. In my mind, it would be offensive line. 0:05:08.720 --> 0:05:10.520 Does it make you feel any better though? The fact 0:05:10.560 --> 0:05:12.719 that they are going up against the defensive line that 0:05:12.800 --> 0:05:15.200 is so loaded, is so deep, and they have that 0:05:15.600 --> 0:05:18.680 talent level to where and Mike McCarthy talked about it 0:05:18.680 --> 0:05:21.159 the other day, where's it's almost an iron sharpens iron 0:05:21.200 --> 0:05:24.560 mentality where the offensive line, like John said, it's no 0:05:24.640 --> 0:05:27.000 doubt like they're struggling, but they're going up against one 0:05:27.000 --> 0:05:29.480 of the best defensive fronts of football. Does that provide 0:05:29.480 --> 0:05:31.960 at least a little bit of comfort in that situation? 0:05:32.120 --> 0:05:32.240 Oh? 0:05:32.320 --> 0:05:34.120 Yeah, no it does. They're gonna get great work. 0:05:34.160 --> 0:05:35.479 And that's the other thing like a lot of people 0:05:35.600 --> 0:05:37.040 might look at, is well, they need to go out 0:05:37.040 --> 0:05:38.719 there and go add somebody, add one of these, you know, 0:05:38.760 --> 0:05:40.919 a veteran free agent that you can maybe get on 0:05:40.960 --> 0:05:42.840 the cheap to help out it guards. Yeah, that could 0:05:42.839 --> 0:05:45.040 potentially happen, But It's kind of like the running back, 0:05:45.040 --> 0:05:46.240 the backup running back spot. 0:05:46.560 --> 0:05:47.719 They want to be able to see. 0:05:47.720 --> 0:05:50.040 Mike McCarthy wants to be able to see, like, what 0:05:50.120 --> 0:05:51.159 are these guys capable of? 0:05:51.240 --> 0:05:52.560 This is the time when you can see it. 0:05:52.720 --> 0:05:54.680 Let's see if we can develop somebody right now, this 0:05:54.760 --> 0:05:56.599 is the time to do it. So while we sit 0:05:56.640 --> 0:05:59.600 here and have questions about it, it could be going 0:05:59.680 --> 0:06:01.520 to That is the plan exactly. 0:06:02.800 --> 0:06:04.440 And I agree whole hardly on that. 0:06:04.560 --> 0:06:06.280 I do believe that they have a game plan, and 0:06:06.320 --> 0:06:08.040 they have a backup to the backup, and they have 0:06:08.040 --> 0:06:09.920 a backup to the backup to the backup. As we've 0:06:09.920 --> 0:06:11.839 seen over the past years, they've always had a game 0:06:11.839 --> 0:06:14.000 plan in that regard, and they are This is the 0:06:14.040 --> 0:06:15.800 time where you find out what your guys can and 0:06:15.839 --> 0:06:18.640 can't do. And I just can't wait for those preseason 0:06:18.640 --> 0:06:21.680 games to show up because you know that Tyrann's your 0:06:21.720 --> 0:06:23.599 left tackle right with If Tyron's not your left tackle, 0:06:23.600 --> 0:06:25.920 who's your left tackle? Well, I'm bumping Tyler right well 0:06:25.960 --> 0:06:28.120 behind Tyler, who is it? Well, that's what they're playing 0:06:28.120 --> 0:06:30.280 around with right now. You know, if they find themselves 0:06:30.279 --> 0:06:32.800 and that in that situation, they need to know what 0:06:32.839 --> 0:06:35.080 their capabilities are, and I'm not sure that we feel 0:06:35.480 --> 0:06:38.320 very holistically confident in that right now. The guard position 0:06:38.480 --> 0:06:40.120 is going to be something else. Are they going against 0:06:40.120 --> 0:06:43.440 really great talent? Absolutely? Defensive line is absolutely, they're They're 0:06:43.560 --> 0:06:47.000 freaking juggernauts out there. It's positive in the light that 0:06:47.040 --> 0:06:50.400 you get to go against high caliber talent. It's negative 0:06:50.480 --> 0:06:52.200 in the sense if you don't get an opportunity to 0:06:52.200 --> 0:06:54.560 see what these guys are truly capable of, because they're 0:06:54.560 --> 0:06:57.800 getting their butts kicked often, you know. So it's a 0:06:57.839 --> 0:06:59.440 it's a give and take, you know, when they go 0:06:59.440 --> 0:07:01.400 out there and they have oh, okay, this is gonna be easier, 0:07:01.400 --> 0:07:03.040 and yeah, they'll perform better than what we've seen out 0:07:03.040 --> 0:07:05.200 here at practice because of the caliber of talent. But 0:07:05.240 --> 0:07:08.760 at the same time, I don't know how effectively these 0:07:08.760 --> 0:07:12.160 coaches can really judge the production of the players when 0:07:12.160 --> 0:07:14.480 they're getting smacked up left and right by his amazing 0:07:14.520 --> 0:07:14.880 d line. 0:07:14.920 --> 0:07:16.440 One thing I just want to add real quick on that. 0:07:16.760 --> 0:07:20.320 It's also a part for me because there is changes 0:07:20.360 --> 0:07:22.800 on offense with bringing in Brian Shinheimer, with Mike McCarthy 0:07:22.840 --> 0:07:24.440 calling the plays. They talk about getting the play in 0:07:24.480 --> 0:07:27.000 early to Dak. If I'm a coach, I don't want 0:07:27.120 --> 0:07:29.560 Dak going up there. And the very first thing he's 0:07:29.560 --> 0:07:31.480 worried about is like, is this offensive line is gonna 0:07:31.480 --> 0:07:33.440 be whold? He's got so much on his plate, you know, 0:07:33.840 --> 0:07:36.200 with dissecting, is what's the defense doing right now? Like 0:07:36.720 --> 0:07:38.640 I need him to be as confident as possible in 0:07:38.680 --> 0:07:40.000 that offensive line in front of him. 0:07:40.240 --> 0:07:43.000 When we were talking the other day about the West 0:07:43.000 --> 0:07:45.720 Coast style and the West Coast concepts and making it 0:07:45.760 --> 0:07:49.240 simple on Dak post snap, does it make it harder 0:07:49.240 --> 0:07:51.480 on Dak pre snap walking up to the line of scrimmage, 0:07:51.640 --> 0:07:54.360 especially whenever there is an added element of okay, let's 0:07:54.600 --> 0:07:56.920 make sure I get blocked for this play. But is 0:07:56.920 --> 0:08:01.240 there an added it just not not concerned, I don't 0:08:01.240 --> 0:08:04.440 want to say, But is there an added pressure on 0:08:04.520 --> 0:08:06.320 him going up to the line of scrimmage to be 0:08:06.400 --> 0:08:09.280 able to read and be able to diagnose quicker and 0:08:09.360 --> 0:08:12.760 better because everything happens so quick after the snap. I don't. 0:08:13.040 --> 0:08:15.440 Had it been last year's system, I would say yes. 0:08:15.520 --> 0:08:18.600 But being at the West Coast system is a quick release, 0:08:18.640 --> 0:08:21.200 get the ball out of your hands quickly type of setting. 0:08:21.880 --> 0:08:24.040 This office line isn't going to have to hold their 0:08:24.080 --> 0:08:28.040 blocks for an expanded duration of time, nothing like last year. 0:08:28.360 --> 0:08:28.760 Usually. 0:08:28.800 --> 0:08:32.200 You know, from a quarterbacks perspective, if I'm under the center, 0:08:32.400 --> 0:08:34.920 it's three step game. Majority of this passing game is 0:08:34.920 --> 0:08:37.800 three steps, three step game or play action. I'm not 0:08:37.840 --> 0:08:39.680 saying there's not five and seven steps there is, but 0:08:39.800 --> 0:08:41.040 majority of it is three steps. 0:08:41.080 --> 0:08:42.160 Getting out your hands quickly. 0:08:42.200 --> 0:08:44.000 Your receivers are getting about five to seven yards, your 0:08:44.000 --> 0:08:46.000 tightens are getting aboutive to seven yards down the field. 0:08:46.120 --> 0:08:47.200 You always have a short option. 0:08:47.240 --> 0:08:49.480 You always have an intermediate option around ten to twelve yards, 0:08:49.480 --> 0:08:50.560 which your receivers get there. 0:08:50.720 --> 0:08:53.199 That's your five step read. It's really gonna be like 0:08:53.240 --> 0:08:53.880 your second option. 0:08:54.000 --> 0:08:55.320 So you have a three step read, you have a 0:08:55.320 --> 0:08:56.800 five step read, and then you have a hey, just 0:08:56.800 --> 0:08:59.240 get rid of it or take off read. So I 0:08:59.280 --> 0:09:01.360 don't foresee them having to hold their blocks, which is 0:09:01.520 --> 0:09:04.160 place to their benefit. You don't need a bunch of 0:09:04.240 --> 0:09:06.880 absolute dogs up there to hold hold the ground all 0:09:06.960 --> 0:09:09.600 day long. But for those instances, you still need a 0:09:09.679 --> 0:09:12.120 solid offensive line, and I think that Dallas Cowboys will 0:09:12.120 --> 0:09:15.040 have that. Right now, We're just looking at the second 0:09:15.040 --> 0:09:17.480 and third strings. And trying to figure out, Okay, if 0:09:17.520 --> 0:09:20.480 these scenarios that have represented themselves in recent years, you know, 0:09:20.600 --> 0:09:22.679 obviously show back up, who's going to be the one 0:09:22.679 --> 0:09:23.839 that rises to the top, you know. 0:09:23.880 --> 0:09:25.760 And that's kind of a double edged sword though, because 0:09:26.440 --> 0:09:29.640 while it does help you, I guess a bad offensive 0:09:29.640 --> 0:09:32.440 line never helps you. But I guess it's better to have. 0:09:32.600 --> 0:09:34.480 Whenever you have a quick release game and a quick 0:09:34.480 --> 0:09:37.880 release offense, you have to get the running game facilitated 0:09:37.880 --> 0:09:39.960 in some way too. And if you can't get that 0:09:40.000 --> 0:09:42.720 with the offensive line, that could happen. If you know, 0:09:42.840 --> 0:09:44.800 Zach doesn't show up and an injury happens, you know, 0:09:44.840 --> 0:09:47.040 that's that's when we started seeing at doomsday option on 0:09:47.080 --> 0:09:49.160 that offensive line. But I am glad you brought up 0:09:49.200 --> 0:09:51.000 that defensive line point, because that was something I was 0:09:51.000 --> 0:09:53.440 thinking yesterday. Whenever this defensive line the first two days 0:09:53.440 --> 0:09:57.160 through pass, we're just obliterating everything up front, and I 0:09:57.240 --> 0:09:58.960 was thinking in the back of my head. I don't 0:09:58.960 --> 0:10:00.920 play many video games, go, but I do play two 0:10:00.960 --> 0:10:01.200 K and. 0:10:01.160 --> 0:10:01.719 Madden a lot. 0:10:01.800 --> 0:10:05.080 Okay, whenever I buy the game, the new game every year, 0:10:05.520 --> 0:10:07.160 my goal is to get to the Hall of Fame 0:10:07.240 --> 0:10:09.880 or the All Madden level and every year, even though 0:10:09.880 --> 0:10:12.320 I know it's dumb, I start on that level and 0:10:12.360 --> 0:10:13.720 I'm like, Okay, this is too hard. I need to 0:10:13.760 --> 0:10:15.720 work my way up. I feel like that's what's happening 0:10:15.720 --> 0:10:17.480 with the offensive line right now. They're starting on the 0:10:17.520 --> 0:10:19.560 Hall of Fame. They're starting on the All Madden. They 0:10:19.600 --> 0:10:21.320 need to somehow figure out how to work back to 0:10:21.360 --> 0:10:23.120 like veteran or pro and kind of work their way 0:10:23.200 --> 0:10:25.400 up because it's it's it's not looking great right now. 0:10:25.640 --> 0:10:27.679 You can get your foot like that. That's good. I mean, 0:10:27.760 --> 0:10:29.600 let's get to the All Pro level and then you 0:10:29.600 --> 0:10:30.960 get to the Hall of Fame level, and then we 0:10:30.960 --> 0:10:32.120 can push and we can keep on. 0:10:32.440 --> 0:10:33.319 That's what we're really hooping. 0:10:33.480 --> 0:10:36.319 Yeah, that's what we're really a real big time all right. 0:10:36.400 --> 0:10:38.600 So that's talking point number one. Nick, What was your 0:10:38.600 --> 0:10:39.640 talking point the. 0:10:39.640 --> 0:10:41.640 Running back two situation? You know, I don't I don't 0:10:41.640 --> 0:10:43.480 feel like there's a ton of clarity in that in 0:10:43.520 --> 0:10:44.120 that department. 0:10:44.160 --> 0:10:44.680 You know, Mike. 0:10:44.600 --> 0:10:47.400 McCarthy did provide, you know, a little bit of confidence 0:10:47.400 --> 0:10:49.800 in Rico Dubdell and Malik Davis earlier this week, but 0:10:50.200 --> 0:10:52.520 you know, with Ronald Jones suspension, I think that's that 0:10:52.600 --> 0:10:55.640 throws another kind of wrench in this conversation. And you know, 0:10:55.720 --> 0:10:58.040 Ronald Jones is the guy in that room who you know, 0:10:58.080 --> 0:10:59.679 has a little bit of a different skill set. He 0:10:59.720 --> 0:11:02.040 has a different experience level than everyone in that group. 0:11:02.160 --> 0:11:04.360 So you know, not having him in the first two games, 0:11:04.360 --> 0:11:06.480 you know, how does that affect his roster status? Even so, 0:11:07.480 --> 0:11:09.040 I think that's going to be a position group that 0:11:09.080 --> 0:11:11.800 sees a lot of fluidity through the preseason. You know, 0:11:11.840 --> 0:11:13.440 I think it is too early to kind of tell 0:11:13.600 --> 0:11:15.920 who exactly is going to come up and take that 0:11:16.040 --> 0:11:18.520 RB two spot, but I think preseason is going to 0:11:18.559 --> 0:11:19.600 really determine a lot there. 0:11:19.840 --> 0:11:22.360 Yeah, whenever you get the pads clack clicking and clacking 0:11:22.360 --> 0:11:24.120 a little bit, I mean even out here, they're they're 0:11:24.200 --> 0:11:26.679 touching the hips like they're playing two hand touch here. 0:11:26.800 --> 0:11:29.640 That's that's ultimately what it is. Not in the offense 0:11:29.679 --> 0:11:31.880 and the defensive line, and there's a little bit of 0:11:31.880 --> 0:11:34.160 a pop, but you keep them up right. That's different 0:11:34.160 --> 0:11:35.800 whenever you're running back because you got to find a 0:11:35.800 --> 0:11:36.920 way to blow through. 0:11:37.080 --> 0:11:39.720 Absolutely, and I love Duce, do not get me wrong, 0:11:39.800 --> 0:11:41.880 But there's a couple of these like spin a rounds 0:11:41.880 --> 0:11:44.400 bounce off guys where like he'd be getting flattened. So 0:11:44.960 --> 0:11:47.240 I I want to see him do that in the preseason, 0:11:47.280 --> 0:11:49.240 be able to bounce guys off that are actually trying 0:11:49.240 --> 0:11:49.839 to tackle him. 0:11:49.920 --> 0:11:55.679 But this bouncing off and spinning those great for the video, fantastic. 0:11:56.559 --> 0:11:57.880 Keep doing that, news, come. 0:11:58.200 --> 0:12:00.800 Bring it in here, like all right, sweet, it's sweet, sweet, 0:12:01.600 --> 0:12:02.920 you know do that somerling again. 0:12:05.080 --> 0:12:07.440 Dak jumping over the line and getting two hand touched 0:12:07.440 --> 0:12:09.360 from behind. I think he would have scored that that 0:12:09.440 --> 0:12:12.200 touchdown anyways, everybody's kind of I was right in front 0:12:12.200 --> 0:12:14.400 of the it was the Dak design run and practice 0:12:14.400 --> 0:12:16.840 on Tuesday, and jay Ron curses behind him he got 0:12:16.920 --> 0:12:18.120 him on the hip. I was like, I don't know 0:12:18.160 --> 0:12:20.240 if Curse makes that play because if that's a game, 0:12:20.600 --> 0:12:22.840 Dak is extended and he is getting to the goal 0:12:22.880 --> 0:12:24.800 line like that. He's done that so many different times. 0:12:24.840 --> 0:12:26.400 I think me and Isaiah have talked about it. How 0:12:26.440 --> 0:12:29.040 great was it to see a Reid option. I feel 0:12:29.080 --> 0:12:30.880 like I haven't seen that from this offense in a while. 0:12:31.040 --> 0:12:32.880 Put a couple of r pos in there, is there? 0:12:33.040 --> 0:12:34.640 There were a couple at the goal line yesterday he 0:12:34.720 --> 0:12:36.560 hit Jake Ferguson on one where it was a it 0:12:36.600 --> 0:12:38.520 was a read option and he immediately hit the tight 0:12:38.600 --> 0:12:40.160 end in the flat and it was a wide open 0:12:40.200 --> 0:12:43.520 touchdown on the r PO is not a bad deal. 0:12:43.600 --> 0:12:45.840 What you're talking point, Isaiah, I have to agree. 0:12:45.960 --> 0:12:49.760 I think the running back situation, aside from the office 0:12:49.760 --> 0:12:52.440 and line, that's my next my next box that I 0:12:52.480 --> 0:12:55.560 feel like they need to check. I'm not I'm not 0:12:55.640 --> 0:12:58.360 one hundred confident, but it's also a position group that 0:12:58.400 --> 0:13:00.960 you can go out there and grab somebody and be okay. 0:13:01.120 --> 0:13:04.319 So I think that they have the time on their 0:13:04.360 --> 0:13:06.320 side to get to these preseason games to find out 0:13:06.320 --> 0:13:08.599 exactly what they have. I also have full vote of 0:13:08.640 --> 0:13:10.560 confidence in Malik Davis and Rico Daldo though I mean 0:13:10.559 --> 0:13:12.360 those guys. I know everybody's talking about Dus because he's 0:13:12.360 --> 0:13:14.360 a he's a newest edition, and he's he's you know, 0:13:14.400 --> 0:13:17.040 he's he's a smaller guy, you know, electrifying all that jazz. 0:13:17.080 --> 0:13:19.160 But the guys that have been here, those guys, those 0:13:19.160 --> 0:13:20.880 guys are good. Those guys are really. 0:13:20.720 --> 0:13:22.640 Good, and I have full confidence in them, and I 0:13:22.720 --> 0:13:25.440 know this coaching staff does as well, because they have 0:13:25.600 --> 0:13:27.559 shown trustworthy. 0:13:27.040 --> 0:13:29.400 It was interesting to hear Mike McCarthy after that one 0:13:29.440 --> 0:13:32.880 press conference a few days ago when he was asked specifically, 0:13:32.920 --> 0:13:36.199 what of that second group the next running backs stood 0:13:36.200 --> 0:13:36.520 out to you? 0:13:36.920 --> 0:13:38.319 And I'll be honest, I did not expect him to 0:13:38.320 --> 0:13:39.080 say Rico doubt all. 0:13:39.160 --> 0:13:39.400 First. 0:13:40.000 --> 0:13:42.560 It kind of surprised me, you know, and so that 0:13:42.720 --> 0:13:45.480 was obviously intriguing. But and then talking to Mike McCarthy 0:13:45.520 --> 0:13:47.800 yesterday after the press conference is over, he was asked 0:13:47.840 --> 0:13:51.240 about EZEKIELA well, Ezekiel and why he wouldn't they don't 0:13:51.240 --> 0:13:52.720 want to go that direction right now, and he talked 0:13:52.720 --> 0:13:54.800 about how, like we said, with the offensive line, wanting 0:13:54.840 --> 0:13:56.600 to see out here one is seeing the preseason games, 0:13:56.640 --> 0:13:58.560 what you have with some of the younger guys. But 0:13:58.800 --> 0:14:02.800 the name has to stay until Ezekiel Elliott signs elsewhere 0:14:03.120 --> 0:14:05.920 because the owner and general manager will not close that 0:14:06.000 --> 0:14:07.920 door on Ezekiel Elay, you have to keep that as 0:14:07.960 --> 0:14:10.680 a possibility that he could be returning to the Cowboys. 0:14:10.720 --> 0:14:13.040 I don't know if that happens or not, but you 0:14:13.080 --> 0:14:14.480 can't close the door on that right now. 0:14:14.600 --> 0:14:18.120 What do you think the percentages Ezekiel Elliott suits up 0:14:18.120 --> 0:14:18.520 Week one? 0:14:18.600 --> 0:14:20.400 For me, it's gone up in the last two days. 0:14:20.400 --> 0:14:25.120 Wow, interesting, I would agree. Who do you think would would. 0:14:25.720 --> 0:14:29.400 I'm not saying it's a high percentage, it's gone up. 0:14:28.760 --> 0:14:31.400 A little bit, but who who do you think would 0:14:31.400 --> 0:14:33.680 close that door first? Do you think it would be 0:14:33.680 --> 0:14:35.200 the front office or do you think it'd be Zeke's 0:14:35.200 --> 0:14:36.720 party that would close that door first? 0:14:36.880 --> 0:14:38.200 I think it right now it would have to be 0:14:38.280 --> 0:14:41.760 Zeke's party because I think it's been made known to 0:14:41.880 --> 0:14:44.920 his party kind of where the Cowboys are financially for 0:14:45.640 --> 0:14:48.920 you know, they're not looking to pay like a number one. 0:14:48.920 --> 0:14:50.960 You know that's in the off season. Everyone bring up 0:14:51.000 --> 0:14:52.760 like the Dalvin Cook stuff like all the time. I'm 0:14:52.800 --> 0:14:54.520 just like, that's just not a price point that they're 0:14:54.600 --> 0:14:56.840 not they're gonna you know, they're more into the Leonard 0:14:56.920 --> 0:14:59.960 Fournette type of like, you know, if they don't find 0:15:00.000 --> 0:15:01.960 the right guy out here, then you don't have to 0:15:01.960 --> 0:15:03.480 spend a time and bring a guy in. So I 0:15:03.520 --> 0:15:06.160 think if his dollar amount was willing to come down, 0:15:06.200 --> 0:15:08.280 then I think that would be the thing there. 0:15:09.400 --> 0:15:10.440 But I don't know. 0:15:10.480 --> 0:15:12.520 Outside of you know, the Patriots are the only other 0:15:12.560 --> 0:15:15.320 team that's been you know, the rumored to a well, 0:15:15.360 --> 0:15:17.240 not rumored. It's been reported that they've met with him. 0:15:17.680 --> 0:15:20.120 So maybe he ends up there. But as long as 0:15:20.160 --> 0:15:22.680 he is a free agent, you just can't close the 0:15:22.680 --> 0:15:24.440 door in it. But there were definitely times where I, 0:15:24.640 --> 0:15:26.120 you know, during the offseason, I was like, it's like 0:15:26.160 --> 0:15:27.920 one percent chance, and now I'll probably go up to 0:15:27.920 --> 0:15:28.640 maybe five percent. 0:15:28.880 --> 0:15:29.920 This is just my assumption. 0:15:30.040 --> 0:15:32.360 I assume that offer sheet is on the table waiting 0:15:32.360 --> 0:15:32.720 for him. 0:15:33.240 --> 0:15:34.840 Wow, I assume that close. 0:15:35.360 --> 0:15:38.040 No, No, I'm not necessarily that it's that close. I'm saying, like, 0:15:38.120 --> 0:15:40.400 this is your price point. If you want to meet that, sure, 0:15:40.400 --> 0:15:41.960 we'd love to have you, but we can't. We can't 0:15:41.960 --> 0:15:42.760 go past that dollar. 0:15:42.760 --> 0:15:45.120 You're waiting for them to It's like what John was saying, 0:15:45.160 --> 0:15:48.320
