21
00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:10,160
Speaker 1: you guys, I hope you guys enjoy this and we

22
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:11,920
Speaker 1: got a lot to talk about today. We're gonna talk

23
00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:15,120
Speaker 1: about OTAs. It's the second week for the Cowboys in

24
00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:18,240
Speaker 1: a three week series of OTAs, and then that'll be

25
00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:21,080
Speaker 1: there'll be a mini camp there in the following week,

26
00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:23,679
Speaker 1: and then we'll get into a little talk on Ezekiel

27
00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:26,080
Speaker 1: Elliott and some of the challenges that he's dealing with

28
00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:28,679
Speaker 1: right now and find out from the get these guys

29
00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:31,399
Speaker 1: how concerned they are that this could turn into something

30
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:33,959
Speaker 1: that could affect the Cowboys on the field. But before

31
00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:35,280
Speaker 1: we do that, I want to do want to talk

32
00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:38,720
Speaker 1: about the OTAs um. Last week was week one of

33
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:41,800
Speaker 1: their OTAs, and I just kind of want to throw

34
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:43,600
Speaker 1: it out and get some general observations. I know you

35
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:45,400
Speaker 1: guys were out there every day during or at least

36
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:49,800
Speaker 1: Wednesday during practice, and so and so I wanted to

37
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:51,520
Speaker 1: get an idea from you guys of some of the

38
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:54,400
Speaker 1: things that you saw while you were out there, just

39
00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:56,800
Speaker 1: to give our fans a little bit of a taste

40
00:01:57,040 --> 00:01:58,480
Speaker 1: of what kind of stuff you can see while they

41
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:00,320
Speaker 1: have on shorts and T shirts. I'll start with Nick,

42
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:06,800
Speaker 1: I think that the Kellen Moore era here for the

43
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:10,079
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator. I thought that was it's gonna be interesting

44
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:11,799
Speaker 1: to see how it plays out when you wait to

45
00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:14,840
Speaker 1: the games come and really get to see what kind

46
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:18,440
Speaker 1: of plays that he's calling. But I think from the

47
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:22,239
Speaker 1: first indication here practice that you're gonna see some differences here.

48
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:25,840
Speaker 1: You're gonna see the way that the plays are and

49
00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:28,399
Speaker 1: dat kind of alluded to this is the plays will

50
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:30,640
Speaker 1: be the same, how they get there will be different,

51
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:32,840
Speaker 1: and they'll dress it up. You'll see something a little

52
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:34,600
Speaker 1: bit more of these reverses. I think what you saw

53
00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:36,040
Speaker 1: in the Rams game at the end of the way

54
00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:37,880
Speaker 1: the Rams, what they were doing with a lot of

55
00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:42,680
Speaker 1: their emotion jet sweeps, fake jet sweeps. You'll see some Yeah,

56
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:45,240
Speaker 1: you'll see some of that. That was the first thing

57
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:48,680
Speaker 1: that kind of that kind of popped out to me,

58
00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:50,760
Speaker 1: just seeing how these guys are moving around a little

59
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:53,680
Speaker 1: bit different before the play I agree with that, and

60
00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:56,880
Speaker 1: it's it's definitely noticeable. You know, Yeah, I don't think

61
00:02:56,919 --> 00:02:59,360
Speaker 1: they're gonna overhaul the playbook, but I think you know,

62
00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:01,920
Speaker 1: the personnel they used, the way they move it around

63
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:05,200
Speaker 1: pre snap motion. I know we've beaten into the ground,

64
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:08,720
Speaker 1: but it is something that we saw at practice last week.

65
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:11,040
Speaker 1: It seems like it's something Kellen Moore wants to implement.

66
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:14,040
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't want to get too excited about

67
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:16,080
Speaker 1: it just because it's May and I want to you know,

68
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:18,160
Speaker 1: I feel like they did that stuff at training camp

69
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:20,880
Speaker 1: last year, and then it disappeared when the season started,

70
00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:23,320
Speaker 1: which is you know, I don't. I don't want to

71
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:26,280
Speaker 1: get just absolutely psyched about that until I kind of

72
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:28,880
Speaker 1: see it in a more real environment. For me, I

73
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:31,760
Speaker 1: just like seeing the lineup combinations at this time of year.

74
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:35,040
Speaker 1: You know, Connor Williams played left tackle last week, which

75
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:37,680
Speaker 1: you know, Tyrn Smith, Lyle Collins, and Cam Fleming all

76
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:40,920
Speaker 1: sat out of practice, So that's a pretty huge caveat.

77
00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:43,720
Speaker 1: You know, it's not like he was tackles were gone, true,

78
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:46,160
Speaker 1: but there's eight other guys they could have asked to

79
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:49,240
Speaker 1: play tackle instead. It was really unexpected. That's something that

80
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:52,000
Speaker 1: you don't expect the Cowboys to show the media. We

81
00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:54,080
Speaker 1: are not a big deal, but still it was surprising.

82
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:56,720
Speaker 1: It's not a big deal, but it's not not a deal,

83
00:03:56,880 --> 00:04:00,360
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. Yeah, but he's there alarating

84
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:03,640
Speaker 1: left guard. He you know, and he you know, he

85
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:07,480
Speaker 1: was solid as a rookie but he wasn't amazing, so

86
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:09,080
Speaker 1: you would think he needs all the reps he can

87
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:10,840
Speaker 1: get at the position you want him to play. And

88
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:13,840
Speaker 1: then a month after they draft Connor mcgovernor and we're like,

89
00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:16,040
Speaker 1: what does this mean for Connor Williams the future? They

90
00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:18,880
Speaker 1: got him play and tackle and again I know all

91
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:20,880
Speaker 1: the other tackles were out, but they could have asked

92
00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:23,800
Speaker 1: and undraft. I mean, Jake Campos was playing right tackle.

93
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:26,240
Speaker 1: He's not gonna make this team, no offense, Jake. But

94
00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:28,599
Speaker 1: they got a guy that's gonna make this team playing

95
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:31,800
Speaker 1: left tackle. Right. But this is the day at that point,

96
00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:35,080
Speaker 1: it was day two of installation. That's what these OTAs are.

97
00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:37,719
Speaker 1: They're installing the offense. So to put a guy out

98
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:42,440
Speaker 1: there and to say this is where you're going to play, like, yeah,

99
00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:45,279
Speaker 1: we need some of these, we need someone to play

100
00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:47,800
Speaker 1: left tackle, but this is where you install the offense.

101
00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:50,159
Speaker 1: So if he's going to be your starting left guard,

102
00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:52,680
Speaker 1: which which he will be, I still think that they

103
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:54,800
Speaker 1: use that time to get him some snaps at tack

104
00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:57,360
Speaker 1: and then sorry, but the fun thing is you see

105
00:04:57,360 --> 00:04:59,040
Speaker 1: that at practice and then you go into the locker

106
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:01,760
Speaker 1: room and you can Connor himself and he's like, yeah,

107
00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:03,760
Speaker 1: this are the first reps I've gotten at tackle since

108
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:06,440
Speaker 1: I was in college. So, like, you know, maybe it

109
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:08,080
Speaker 1: isn't a big deal if he's like, well, yeah, I

110
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:09,920
Speaker 1: did this for scout team all the time last year,

111
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:12,840
Speaker 1: or you know I did this at times in the

112
00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:14,920
Speaker 1: spring last year too, Like, no, this is the first

113
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:16,839
Speaker 1: time they've ever asked him to do that. Yeah, and

114
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:19,599
Speaker 1: I don't care who was sitting out. That's significant. Yeah,

115
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:21,240
Speaker 1: I get that. I guess the way I looked at

116
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:23,440
Speaker 1: it when what I heard about it was I think

117
00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:25,359
Speaker 1: there's kind of a now component to that and a

118
00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:27,800
Speaker 1: future component to that. I think the now component is

119
00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:30,560
Speaker 1: that of all the guys you said they could have

120
00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:32,960
Speaker 1: asked to do it, Like you said, those guys are

121
00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:35,680
Speaker 1: not going to be here. So the likelihood that Connor

122
00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:37,960
Speaker 1: has to play tackle as opposed to any of those

123
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:41,080
Speaker 1: other guys is still much higher that Connor will get

124
00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:43,240
Speaker 1: the opportunity than they will in the event they lost

125
00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:45,039
Speaker 1: all those tackles. Right, So, if you're going to throw

126
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:47,760
Speaker 1: somebody out there to learn the position R plus, somebody

127
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:50,279
Speaker 1: out there's going to actually be here now. But you

128
00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:53,800
Speaker 1: don't do that unless in the future you're thinking, hey,

129
00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:55,760
Speaker 1: it would be nice to get him some reps because

130
00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:58,760
Speaker 1: there may be an opportunity next year possibly for him

131
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:01,040
Speaker 1: to play some tackles. So I think I think it

132
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:03,640
Speaker 1: says something about maybe what they think for the future

133
00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:06,479
Speaker 1: obviously doesn't make a whole big difference right now. But

134
00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:09,120
Speaker 1: I don't think any of us are surprised by the

135
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:11,000
Speaker 1: fact that in the future they think he could possibly

136
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:13,800
Speaker 1: play tackle for them. But again, no one's surprised and

137
00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:16,039
Speaker 1: surprised that they admit that he's been saying it for

138
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:19,080
Speaker 1: a year, that that don't be surprised when this happens,

139
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:21,400
Speaker 1: and then they're gonna tell you, oh, we're all along

140
00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:23,880
Speaker 1: and here it is. This is happening. Is exactly what

141
00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:28,000
Speaker 1: Dave said a year ago. Maybe not a year ago,

142
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:30,520
Speaker 1: but like six months ago. Yeah, and what was that?

143
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:33,080
Speaker 1: What was that? I didn't hear the other thing? You know,

144
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:36,160
Speaker 1: don't don't get me in trouble because we only get

145
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:38,160
Speaker 1: to watch one of these, and I did not. I

146
00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:42,240
Speaker 1: was not at Tuesday or Thursday's ota. Jerry Stephen, if

147
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:46,039
Speaker 1: you happen to be listening, how would you ever see

148
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:50,359
Speaker 1: those We only see Wednesday exactly. Yeah, but they but

149
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:53,520
Speaker 1: so the point there's two practices that they The media

150
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:56,000
Speaker 1: is not there, so they had two practices to work

151
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:58,159
Speaker 1: Connor at tackle if they didn't want people to know,

152
00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:00,280
Speaker 1: and they were like, ah, whatever, we'll just will play

153
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:02,840
Speaker 1: him here on Wednesday. Who cares. So I do think

154
00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:05,360
Speaker 1: that is somewhat significant. I'm kind of glad that they

155
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:07,360
Speaker 1: did that, though, you know, you're right, most of the

156
00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:11,040
Speaker 1: times in this organization, typically that's the kind of thing

157
00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:13,040
Speaker 1: they don't want to put out there because it writes

158
00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:15,240
Speaker 1: a lot of questions. But it is the thing that

159
00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:17,400
Speaker 1: if you if you're thinking about it, why not give him,

160
00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:19,680
Speaker 1: especially when all those other guys are out, Why not

161
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:21,160
Speaker 1: give him a shot to kind of just see a

162
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:23,600
Speaker 1: little bit. Let him have an opportunity to see what

163
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:26,640
Speaker 1: it's like, to start getting familiar with what his responsibilities are.

164
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:28,440
Speaker 1: I don't think there's anything wrong with that, because you

165
00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:30,600
Speaker 1: also can see, hey, do we think this is actually

166
00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:33,040
Speaker 1: going to work? And if any opportunity you get to

167
00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:34,840
Speaker 1: see if it's going to work before you get to

168
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:36,600
Speaker 1: the chance where you have to throw him in, it's

169
00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:38,960
Speaker 1: a good thing. I would love it if he is,

170
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:41,680
Speaker 1: you know, and Tyron, you know, Tyron is going to

171
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:44,240
Speaker 1: have that days from now until the end of time

172
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:47,920
Speaker 1: now and at training camp. You know, he's missed at

173
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:50,200
Speaker 1: least two games each of the last three years, so

174
00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:52,080
Speaker 1: it's a decent bed. He'll miss time in the regular

175
00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:55,080
Speaker 1: season too. I hope he doesn't, but history indicates that

176
00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:58,200
Speaker 1: he might, so I hope this continues. I hope this

177
00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:00,600
Speaker 1: isn't just a may thing. You know. I hope if

178
00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:03,960
Speaker 1: Tyrant is off on a Thursday at training camp, you know,

179
00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:06,520
Speaker 1: I hope that they find a way for that to

180
00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:08,720
Speaker 1: mean Connor can play some tackle. But if Cam is health,

181
00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:10,600
Speaker 1: do you kind of want Cam to have those opportunities

182
00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:12,560
Speaker 1: because once he gets the season, he's gonna be the

183
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:14,440
Speaker 1: guys out there. If Tyrannt's out there, he gonna be

184
00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:16,600
Speaker 1: the second team left tackle or something. You know. I'm

185
00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:19,120
Speaker 1: just saying, I think it would be smart just give

186
00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:22,160
Speaker 1: him some opportunity. Yep. I see. All right, Let's let's

187
00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:24,240
Speaker 1: get some more observations. What were some other things that

188
00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:26,360
Speaker 1: you guys may have noticed. Ambersame thing that you that

189
00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:29,000
Speaker 1: stood out to you well, by default, the way these

190
00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:33,400
Speaker 1: practices are structure, Usually the wide receiver and like the

191
00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:36,440
Speaker 1: running backs are the ones who stand who tend to

192
00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:39,360
Speaker 1: stand out. The most one that com my eye was

193
00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:43,600
Speaker 1: Tony Pollard, who obviously he's a guy that we've been

194
00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:48,520
Speaker 1: talking about after since the draft, but I even know

195
00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:50,719
Speaker 1: his number at the moment. And then I saw a

196
00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:53,760
Speaker 1: guy I'm like, oh wow, who's that? And Oh that's Tony.

197
00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:56,520
Speaker 1: So it's noticeable the kind of speed that he has,

198
00:08:56,520 --> 00:09:01,160
Speaker 1: the way he breaks. I like his awareness on the field. Again,

199
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:04,520
Speaker 1: these are light practices, but still just being able to

200
00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:08,200
Speaker 1: see a guy stand out among the crowd, it was still.

201
00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:10,760
Speaker 1: It was still good. Another thing that I was talking

202
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:14,760
Speaker 1: to to Dave and Brian that I wasn't thinking about

203
00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:18,319
Speaker 1: was the kicker, and like the realization of man, they

204
00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:21,880
Speaker 1: have not brought a kicker in yet. Probably will happen

205
00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:24,920
Speaker 1: at training camp. But that's another thing that we tend

206
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:27,680
Speaker 1: to forget a little bit. I don't I don't know

207
00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:31,560
Speaker 1: they should. I asked Nick this question and it was

208
00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:34,679
Speaker 1: kind of tongue in cheek during practice last week. Um,

209
00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:38,239
Speaker 1: I said, what's the what's the chances that the Cowboys

210
00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:40,480
Speaker 1: midseason have a different kicker than they have right now?

211
00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:42,160
Speaker 1: And we both kind of just looked at each other

212
00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:44,040
Speaker 1: and I don't think either one of us were really

213
00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:47,040
Speaker 1: convicted that they'll have the same kicker because he was

214
00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:49,680
Speaker 1: so inconsistent last year. We know he has a big leg,

215
00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:52,520
Speaker 1: but there was some misses that were just inexplicable. I mean,

216
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:56,560
Speaker 1: how many bad games does who's the best kicker in

217
00:09:56,559 --> 00:10:01,000
Speaker 1: the league, got Tucker Tucker? How many or Askowski? Okay,

218
00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:04,880
Speaker 1: how many bad games this Tucker have before he's cut?

219
00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:09,800
Speaker 1: Depends on how bad they, you know, like he missed,

220
00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:11,839
Speaker 1: he missed over time. You're gonna have to have to

221
00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:15,679
Speaker 1: have have a season of just like unexplainable things that

222
00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:17,680
Speaker 1: just happens. So seven or eight, I mean he's the

223
00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:20,040
Speaker 1: best of all time. Seven or eight. You're like, oh,

224
00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:22,360
Speaker 1: this is he doesn't have it anymore. How many bad

225
00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:27,200
Speaker 1: games does Maha have? Two in a two in a

226
00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:29,680
Speaker 1: short span or no, three in a short span of time,

227
00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:32,040
Speaker 1: like three in a month, three you know, three and

228
00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:34,040
Speaker 1: five weeks. I mean, I also wonder what you call

229
00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:36,080
Speaker 1: a bad game, because there was your games when he

230
00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:38,760
Speaker 1: came back and he made some kicks, some kicks, but

231
00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:41,240
Speaker 1: then he missed some early whereas last twenty one to

232
00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:43,480
Speaker 1: twenty in to the Giants in Week one, he missed

233
00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:45,760
Speaker 1: an extra point in the second quarter and a forty

234
00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:49,520
Speaker 1: four yard field goal. So that's a story. I thought.

235
00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:51,520
Speaker 1: I was like that, didn't know. No, that's week one.

236
00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:54,040
Speaker 1: And then week two he misses a thirty seven yarder

237
00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:57,280
Speaker 1: off the post in the press box. It's like, okay,

238
00:10:57,520 --> 00:11:00,800
Speaker 1: available kicks out of Yeah, everyone start google about it.

239
00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:03,719
Speaker 1: So I three seems like a lot if he if

240
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:05,680
Speaker 1: he started the season with two bad games, he's cut.

241
00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:09,240
Speaker 1: I just feel like it's it's been a while since

242
00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:11,520
Speaker 1: y'all were probably at this stage in your life, but like,

243
00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:14,600
Speaker 1: did you ever have like a beater car, like just

244
00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:17,400
Speaker 1: a beater car, like a piece of crap car, Like

245
00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:19,840
Speaker 1: oh yeah, and like it was a piece of crap,

246
00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:22,520
Speaker 1: but you loved it, you know, and like other people

247
00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:25,960
Speaker 1: might be like, man, is that what you're saying, I'm

248
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:28,920
Speaker 1: not saying a piece of crap? Well yeah, what are

249
00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:32,160
Speaker 1: we saying? I'm just crap? But was him? You know,

250
00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:34,800
Speaker 1: you probably loved that car a lot more than like

251
00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:37,960
Speaker 1: your friends did. Right, Like you had say so he's

252
00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:41,280
Speaker 1: like it's gonna get me where I need to go sometimes, Well,

253
00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:43,240
Speaker 1: I mean there, you know that was the point of

254
00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:45,720
Speaker 1: but the point sometimes you loved it more than other

255
00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:47,440
Speaker 1: people did. And I don't want to call Brett Maher

256
00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:48,920
Speaker 1: a piece of crap, that's not my point, but I

257
00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:51,839
Speaker 1: think that certainly would It sounded like cowboys like him

258
00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:54,240
Speaker 1: and feel loyal to him a lot more than people

259
00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:57,200
Speaker 1: outside the organization. Okay, but that's why why would they

260
00:11:57,280 --> 00:12:00,640
Speaker 1: Why this is not then the car that's taking them

261
00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:05,439
Speaker 1: to the bailey exactly If they don't have loyalty to him,

262
00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:08,920
Speaker 1: how what makes you think they got loyalty to Mahs?

263
00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:11,480
Speaker 1: Just all signs point toward it, like they I mean,

264
00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:14,760
Speaker 1: a guy would be here right now, like it's and

265
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:17,280
Speaker 1: this is in my six years of doing this, Like

266
00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:19,760
Speaker 1: they don't just add a kicker a week before they leave,

267
00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:21,640
Speaker 1: like they do that right after the draft, like he

268
00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:24,880
Speaker 1: would be here being part of this. So your thought

269
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:28,000
Speaker 1: is because there's nobody here, you think in their minds,

270
00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:31,319
Speaker 1: Maher is their guy. They are sold here to Nix

271
00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:34,720
Speaker 1: point and to your point too, like only until he's not,

272
00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:38,319
Speaker 1: Like you know, they got da a week. Their attitude

273
00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:40,520
Speaker 1: going into training camp is not like we need to

274
00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:43,079
Speaker 1: do something about this, But it just doesn't make any sense.

275
00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:45,199
Speaker 1: That is a position that we talked about or was

276
00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:48,280
Speaker 1: talked about last year. Why would you not add some

277
00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:51,719
Speaker 1: kind of competition just for the sake of it. Why? Honestly, though,

278
00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:53,760
Speaker 1: I really believe, especially a kicker that's been in the

279
00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:55,839
Speaker 1: CFL and is bounced around like he has, I think

280
00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:59,240
Speaker 1: those kickers think that they're competing all the time. They

281
00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:01,680
Speaker 1: I mean, even even if they're not, even if there's

282
00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:04,840
Speaker 1: not another kicker, they know that if they miss in practice,

283
00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:08,120
Speaker 1: that that will mcclay's got fourteen kickers on a list

284
00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:09,880
Speaker 1: that he knows who can get it's a good point.

285
00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:12,560
Speaker 1: So I think I think they all, Yeah, it's one

286
00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:14,360
Speaker 1: thing to look her over your shoulder and see another

287
00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:16,319
Speaker 1: guy he made it in practice and all the teammates,

288
00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:18,960
Speaker 1: but they know if they struggled that there there's a

289
00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:21,360
Speaker 1: hook there. Yeah. That's probably more than any other position. Yeah,

290
00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:25,400
Speaker 1: you don't easily replaceable, but it's it seems like they're

291
00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:28,160
Speaker 1: easily replaceable from the standpoint that you can always get

292
00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:30,240
Speaker 1: him out and bring in another guy. Like there's not

293
00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:32,599
Speaker 1: there's not, Like you said, the best kicker in the

294
00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:35,000
Speaker 1: league right now, if he has half a season worth

295
00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:37,600
Speaker 1: of bad kicks, he's probably gonna think about the kicker

296
00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:40,760
Speaker 1: in Minnesota. He for a long time was the was

297
00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:42,640
Speaker 1: the best guy in the league. What's his name, Walsh,

298
00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:48,320
Speaker 1: lay Blair Walsh, he was he wasna. He was a

299
00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:50,839
Speaker 1: money kicker for them for a long time, and then

300
00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:53,240
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, in one season, it just started going.

301
00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:55,760
Speaker 1: It started the end of one season and then it

302
00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:57,600
Speaker 1: carried into the next season and then that way. Are

303
00:13:57,600 --> 00:13:59,800
Speaker 1: you talking about Dan Bailey again, because that's it's the

304
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:02,360
Speaker 1: anything example. But my point is that's kickers in the NFL.

305
00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:04,240
Speaker 1: You have it until you don't. Yeah, it's the story

306
00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:08,720
Speaker 1: of every kicker except for like Vinetary and Um Janikowski. Yeah,

307
00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:11,080
Speaker 1: like those are the only two that have really defied that.

308
00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:14,360
Speaker 1: And Janikowski still, I mean, he didn't retire with his

309
00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:18,920
Speaker 1: first team, so yeah, Nary, Well he left on purpose

310
00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:21,400
Speaker 1: though he didn't get cut right, Yeah, he had a

311
00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:24,240
Speaker 1: better offer. I don't remember how it felt like he

312
00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:26,920
Speaker 1: had a stretch there where he kinda he left in

313
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:30,120
Speaker 1: free agency to join the Colts and it was like

314
00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:32,040
Speaker 1: that's the first time that's like, oh my god, we

315
00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:34,600
Speaker 1: got this kicker. Like that. Doesn't he didn't retire this year,

316
00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:37,400
Speaker 1: did he? No, he's still thinking, still going first ballot

317
00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:40,920
Speaker 1: Hall of Famer. Don't at me do not at all. Right,

318
00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:43,000
Speaker 1: let's let's take our first break. When we come back,

319
00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:45,520
Speaker 1: I want to talk about Ezekiel Elliott. He's found himself

320
00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:48,800
Speaker 1: in a little bit of a issue here with the league.

321
00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:51,320
Speaker 1: Reports are that maybe the league's gonna take a look

322
00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:53,400
Speaker 1: at an incident that happened in Las Vegas. I want

323
00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:55,760
Speaker 1: to ask these guys, how concerned are you that the

324
00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:58,920
Speaker 1: Cowboys may be facing some problems with the situation. We'll

325
00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:00,640

365
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:11,080
Speaker 1: Cowboys football here and I'm going to talk a little

366
00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:13,880
Speaker 1: bit about Ezekiel Elliott. Um. What was this? I think

367
00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:15,760
Speaker 1: the report came out was that last week when the

368
00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:20,320
Speaker 1: port report came out. Yeah, Um, and uh, basically there

369
00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:23,040
Speaker 1: was video of an incident that happened in Las Vegas

370
00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:27,840
Speaker 1: while Ezekiel was there. And on the video, UM, there

371
00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:30,359
Speaker 1: was I don't know if it was a It certainly

372
00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:33,520
Speaker 1: wasn't a physical altercation. I don't think there was kind

373
00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:36,200
Speaker 1: of a little bowing up between him and another guy

374
00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:40,040
Speaker 1: and I guess that was security. Um and the incident.

375
00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:43,840
Speaker 1: Police handcuffed him, but he was not arrested, supposedly just

376
00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:46,600
Speaker 1: detained and and nothing ever came of it. From a

377
00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:51,960
Speaker 1: legal standpoint. Um, but here's the issue. We all go

378
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:55,320
Speaker 1: back to twenty seventeen, UM and when when Zeke had

379
00:17:55,359 --> 00:17:58,520
Speaker 1: the issue with the NFL regarding uh the issue of

380
00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:02,959
Speaker 1: or the allegation around domestic violence. The NFL had an

381
00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:05,439
Speaker 1: investigation that they did. They had a person who was

382
00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:09,080
Speaker 1: charged with doing the investigation. That person came to the

383
00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:11,639
Speaker 1: conclusion that there should be no punishment because there were

384
00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:16,280
Speaker 1: too many inconsistencies in the whole story. Despite that, Roger

385
00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:18,880
Speaker 1: Goodell and the people in charge of the NFL made

386
00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:22,119
Speaker 1: the decision that Zeke should face a six game suspension.

387
00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:26,280
Speaker 1: He ultimately served that suspension. That all being said, and

388
00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:29,000
Speaker 1: knowing that because of that, he now is in a

389
00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:32,960
Speaker 1: situation where he's under increased scrutiny from the NFL and

390
00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:36,200
Speaker 1: Indian fraction is reviewable by the NFL and can lead

391
00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:40,600
Speaker 1: to punishment. How concerned are you, guys, that this particular situation,

392
00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:42,720
Speaker 1: even though he was not arrested, can end up being

393
00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:46,960
Speaker 1: a problem for Zeke and for the Cowboys. I'm not concerned.

394
00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:49,600
Speaker 1: I don't think he'll be suspended. I don't. I don't

395
00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:53,600
Speaker 1: think it. That's not a penalty on the football field.

396
00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:56,480
Speaker 1: What he did. It's not a penalty. I don't think

397
00:18:56,520 --> 00:18:59,080
Speaker 1: you can call that any kind of incident. I mean, ye,

398
00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:03,000
Speaker 1: it's an incident because reported on tape, but you can't

399
00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:05,399
Speaker 1: get suspended for that. I just don't believe it. I

400
00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:07,720
Speaker 1: don't believe that's going to happen. One thing to note is,

401
00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:11,760
Speaker 1: and I was reading the report yesterday, a journalist for

402
00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:15,400
Speaker 1: for Yahoo Sports, Charles Robinson, was breaking down the kind

403
00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:17,960
Speaker 1: of the things that the league told Zeke at the

404
00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:21,439
Speaker 1: time in twenty seventeen after he had been suspended, and

405
00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:23,480
Speaker 1: one of the things that stuck out to me was

406
00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:27,200
Speaker 1: it said, it is not just we're not just worried

407
00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:30,760
Speaker 1: about violence. We're worried about even threats of violence. And

408
00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:33,320
Speaker 1: that's what made me start to think, can the league

409
00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:36,960
Speaker 1: again in a situation well we know the league when

410
00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:38,640
Speaker 1: it comes to Zeke, it seems like they just got

411
00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:42,720
Speaker 1: a thing for him. And that being said, do they

412
00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:45,159
Speaker 1: construe what they saw there on that tape as a

413
00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:49,000
Speaker 1: threat of violence that could then once again give them

414
00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:51,520
Speaker 1: license because again, they don't need license from anybody else

415
00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:54,600
Speaker 1: other than themselves to say we think there's an infraction

416
00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:56,320
Speaker 1: here and because of that, we're giving you a suspension.

417
00:19:56,640 --> 00:19:59,760
Speaker 1: I mean, all due respect to your opinion, Like I

418
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:01,680
Speaker 1: I know how you can sit here and just say no,

419
00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:03,920
Speaker 1: there's no chance. I didn't say there's no chance. You

420
00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:06,040
Speaker 1: said you don't think it'll happen. That's two different things.

421
00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:08,080
Speaker 1: I mean, there's a chance because you have that, you

422
00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:10,040
Speaker 1: have the guy in the office up there. That right,

423
00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:12,960
Speaker 1: and that's it should be. It should be concerning and

424
00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:16,159
Speaker 1: like that, that should hang over everything else, and it

425
00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:19,159
Speaker 1: I don't agree with it, you know, Like what happened

426
00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:22,160
Speaker 1: with the security guard. I mean, come on, get out

427
00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:24,439
Speaker 1: of here. Yeah, it wasn't right, but I didn't know

428
00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:27,560
Speaker 1: Mino Genobli was running in security now. But seriously, at

429
00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:33,560
Speaker 1: the same time, focus should not flop. At the same time,

430
00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:38,560
Speaker 1: he's Ezekiel Elliott. It sucks for him, Like, I mean,

431
00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:41,439
Speaker 1: you know, he didn't do anything wrong that the video showed,

432
00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:44,159
Speaker 1: you know, the pushing the guy over. It's not a

433
00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:47,199
Speaker 1: great look. Seemed like he was arguing with who I

434
00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:51,760
Speaker 1: think was his girlfriend thee Again, the guy fell on

435
00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:55,480
Speaker 1: the ground and it's not fair. But Ezekieli is going

436
00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:57,040
Speaker 1: to be held to a different standard. I'm sorry, I

437
00:20:57,040 --> 00:20:59,280
Speaker 1: don't know what y'all want me to say yeah, And

438
00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:03,680
Speaker 1: there's one one guy that is really ultimately in charge

439
00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:06,440
Speaker 1: of making that decision. And I think Charles Robinson made

440
00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:09,200
Speaker 1: a really good point that maybe people don't want to hear.

441
00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:12,880
Speaker 1: But I don't know that Jerry Jones does the Cowboys

442
00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:15,080
Speaker 1: any favors. When he comes out and says like it's

443
00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:17,439
Speaker 1: not a big deal like this, you know he's in

444
00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:20,440
Speaker 1: good standing. He'll be okay because he said that last time.

445
00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:23,320
Speaker 1: And I wonder if, like maybe Roger Goodell is kind

446
00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:26,360
Speaker 1: of like, well, you don't, Jerry, like I'll make these

447
00:21:26,359 --> 00:21:29,600
Speaker 1: decisions like you don't ultimately decide what happens here. I'm

448
00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:31,520
Speaker 1: the commissioner of the league. I know you're one of

449
00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:33,480
Speaker 1: the most powerful owners in the league, but this is

450
00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:35,480
Speaker 1: still up to me. And I think I think stuff

451
00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:37,560
Speaker 1: like that matters. So if I had to bet on

452
00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:41,119
Speaker 1: it today, it doesn't seem like it should merit to suspension.

453
00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:44,440
Speaker 1: But I can't in full confidence say it won't. I mean,

454
00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:46,600
Speaker 1: as I said, I think we said this last week.

455
00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:50,520
Speaker 1: The guy who's not going to do well in this

456
00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:55,600
Speaker 1: scenario is Tyrone Crawford, because I don't think that Zeke

457
00:21:55,640 --> 00:21:58,239
Speaker 1: will get a suspension based off of that. But I

458
00:21:58,280 --> 00:22:01,560
Speaker 1: think Tyron Crawford will be what it's a similar you

459
00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:04,440
Speaker 1: think it'll be kind of I mean, if you can

460
00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:06,680
Speaker 1: sit here and say, well, you know, the guy flopped

461
00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:09,359
Speaker 1: and all that stuff, then yeah, well looking not a

462
00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:11,320
Speaker 1: whole lot of flopping going on in the video from

463
00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:14,520
Speaker 1: Panama City. There's a lot of I mean, yeah, that's

464
00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:17,280
Speaker 1: a little more of a scary situation. And yeah, I

465
00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:21,119
Speaker 1: mean that's a great point, you know what I wonder here?

466
00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:23,199
Speaker 1: And I think you guys both are gonna say like

467
00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:26,000
Speaker 1: a big hell note to this. But you know, and

468
00:22:26,119 --> 00:22:30,159
Speaker 1: and as a referee, if you if you throw a

469
00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:33,560
Speaker 1: past interference penaltee and it was questionable and everyone's going crazy,

470
00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:37,240
Speaker 1: you're probably gonna get a makeup call the next play,

471
00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:41,360
Speaker 1: next few plays is does he gonna get a makeup call? Here?

472
00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:44,200
Speaker 1: I think Roger Goodell thinks that he did something wrong

473
00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:46,520
Speaker 1: because it only went to like nineteen higher courts. No,

474
00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:50,600
Speaker 1: he had, he had every opportunity to make to make

475
00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:52,879
Speaker 1: the decision that we all thought should have been made

476
00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:57,119
Speaker 1: um And and that's because he had. He had And

477
00:22:57,200 --> 00:22:59,440
Speaker 1: I really think the league in a lot of instances

478
00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:03,320
Speaker 1: makes decisis based upon public perception and having cover for

479
00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:06,919
Speaker 1: what they decide. I think in this instance, because they

480
00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:11,000
Speaker 1: had a private investigation, because the result of that private

481
00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:16,160
Speaker 1: investigation was there should be no penalty. He had more

482
00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:18,639
Speaker 1: than ample. And this is an independent person. This is

483
00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:21,359
Speaker 1: not a person who is just like bound to the league.

484
00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:23,840
Speaker 1: This is an independent person that made this a recommendation

485
00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:27,679
Speaker 1: and said nothing should happen. He had sufficient cover to

486
00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:31,520
Speaker 1: be able to say, okay, either nothing or just because

487
00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:33,119
Speaker 1: we had to go through all this, we're going to

488
00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:35,600
Speaker 1: give you a game or two games. Right. The fact

489
00:23:35,760 --> 00:23:39,200
Speaker 1: is they gave him six games. That says to me,

490
00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:43,679
Speaker 1: and Roger Goodell doesn't really care about that what you're saying, like,

491
00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:46,200
Speaker 1: he doesn't really care about trying to make up for anything.

492
00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:49,720
Speaker 1: He ultimately was like, I think that this guy's a

493
00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:51,760
Speaker 1: bad guy and I'm going to punish him. Okay, Well,

494
00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:55,480
Speaker 1: after that happened, you know, all cowboy fans or other

495
00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:59,440
Speaker 1: media members whatever, they you can find a similar situation.

496
00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:03,320
Speaker 1: And it was the kicker for the Giants. I forgot

497
00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:08,200
Speaker 1: his name, Brown, Josh Brown, maybe Brown right, Okay, that

498
00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:11,879
Speaker 1: was a lot of people were saying, hey, what about

499
00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:15,680
Speaker 1: this so and it was Blake, right, So my point

500
00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:19,880
Speaker 1: is is that if he gets suspended again for this,

501
00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:25,800
Speaker 1: how many forearm shoves that have been that have taken

502
00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:30,040
Speaker 1: place somebody on the camera, some you know incident. I

503
00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:32,000
Speaker 1: mean the guy that's signed with the Raiders. I mean,

504
00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:33,800
Speaker 1: he seems like he's got a few things as well.

505
00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:37,720
Speaker 1: So I'm just saying he's gonna at some point Goodell's

506
00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:39,919
Speaker 1: gonna open himself up too. And he already has a

507
00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:42,720
Speaker 1: bunch of criticism. If you if you do this again,

508
00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:45,080
Speaker 1: it could be really bad. I just don't see it happening.

509
00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:48,480
Speaker 1: But it doesn't doesn't seem he cares about criticism because

510
00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:51,920
Speaker 1: he's criticism and he keeps making these kinds of decisions.

511
00:24:51,960 --> 00:24:54,160
Speaker 1: Not only does he not care about criticism, Like if

512
00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:58,719
Speaker 1: the NFL cared about congruents and their decisions, then we

513
00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:00,960
Speaker 1: would be I mean like they do whatever they want

514
00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:04,359
Speaker 1: with a very little video. To me, the video hurts

515
00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:08,760
Speaker 1: that case because what he was going off of was, well,

516
00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:11,159
Speaker 1: look at this report. We have we know things that

517
00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:13,880
Speaker 1: are happening. What two years ago? We know things. There's

518
00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:15,880
Speaker 1: things in this report you don't even know about. See,

519
00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:18,159
Speaker 1: that's the stuff we would hear, is that there's a

520
00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:20,679
Speaker 1: lot to it. This, we all see it. He's not

521
00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:23,000
Speaker 1: gonna see anything that we didn't see unless there's another

522
00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:26,800
Speaker 1: videos that services. So I just you can hide behind

523
00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:30,240
Speaker 1: reports in forty seven page reports that you don't know

524
00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:33,840
Speaker 1: all the details that we know. But in this particular case,

525
00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:36,879
Speaker 1: I just don't think there's gonna be anything extra to it.

526
00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:39,160
Speaker 1: I guess my whole thing with this is just that

527
00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:41,840
Speaker 1: I don't think that this, like Dave was saying, I

528
00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:43,639
Speaker 1: think this is all over the map. There is no

529
00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:46,719
Speaker 1: real rhyme or reason that we can perceive in a

530
00:25:46,720 --> 00:25:49,560
Speaker 1: lot of the decisions. And because of that, you have

531
00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:52,840
Speaker 1: a situation here where it for me, if I'm if

532
00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:55,679
Speaker 1: I'm thinking just as a Cowboys fan, I would be

533
00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:59,439
Speaker 1: concerned because this is a wildcard and I know that

534
00:25:59,520 --> 00:26:02,440
Speaker 1: they've suspended Zeke for sick they gave him a maximum

535
00:26:02,440 --> 00:26:05,320
Speaker 1: penalty for what many people thought should not have been

536
00:26:05,320 --> 00:26:09,560
Speaker 1: a penalty, And this is a situation where he's on camera,

537
00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:13,639
Speaker 1: and again, the league and Roger Goodell aren't necessarily concerned

538
00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:16,040
Speaker 1: about whether you're breaking the law. They're concerned about how

539
00:26:16,040 --> 00:26:19,360
Speaker 1: it reflects on the NFL, how much time is being

540
00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:22,760
Speaker 1: spent on it, being talked about on talk radio and

541
00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:25,000
Speaker 1: being shown on television, and how much does that video

542
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:28,480
Speaker 1: gets shown from TMZ across all the masses. That affects

543
00:26:28,560 --> 00:26:31,399
Speaker 1: what people think of NFL and NFL players. That's what

544
00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:34,040
Speaker 1: they're way more concerned about, and that for me would

545
00:26:34,040 --> 00:26:37,200
Speaker 1: be a bit concerning. I will say it seems like

546
00:26:37,240 --> 00:26:41,720
Speaker 1: this video it seems like it's kind of faded into

547
00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:44,200
Speaker 1: the backdrop, like we're not I mean, obviously we are

548
00:26:44,240 --> 00:26:46,240
Speaker 1: a cowboys talk show. Of course we're going to talk

549
00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:49,560
Speaker 1: about it, but it doesn't seem like this is dominating

550
00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:52,520
Speaker 1: the first takes of the world anymore, you know. Like

551
00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:55,280
Speaker 1: so in that regard, maybe it's not the article come

552
00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:59,560
Speaker 1: out yesterday. Yeah, this week, I mean, the holiday kind

553
00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:03,080
Speaker 1: of messed me up, but definitely this week. So I

554
00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:05,480
Speaker 1: don't know, I wouldn't be surprised by anything, which and

555
00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:07,600
Speaker 1: that's kind of that's the lesson that I took from

556
00:27:07,600 --> 00:27:12,400
Speaker 1: the last one is I was pretty dead sure that

557
00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:14,240
Speaker 1: that was going to blow over and it turned into

558
00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:16,800
Speaker 1: a six game suspension, which I don't think obviously that

559
00:27:16,840 --> 00:27:20,960
Speaker 1: would really be stunning. But I don't know. And if

560
00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:23,520
Speaker 1: I had to guess this will play out like we

561
00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:26,960
Speaker 1: won't probably won't hear anything about Zeke or Tyrone until August.

562
00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:28,760
Speaker 1: If I had to, if I had to guess, does

563
00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:31,560
Speaker 1: this at all change or how does it, if if so,

564
00:27:32,160 --> 00:27:35,880
Speaker 1: change your opinion of Zeke and his level of maturity.

565
00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:39,199
Speaker 1: Was there anything in that video that changed your thoughts? There? No,

566
00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:42,919
Speaker 1: And I think I'm really really glad he did not

567
00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:45,560
Speaker 1: even touch the girl, to even grab her, like he

568
00:27:45,560 --> 00:27:47,800
Speaker 1: would just stand in front of her and like block

569
00:27:47,840 --> 00:27:51,040
Speaker 1: her just by him standing, because howd he just grabbed

570
00:27:51,080 --> 00:27:54,560
Speaker 1: her arm or something that would Yeah, and that would

571
00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:56,439
Speaker 1: have been a total mess. So I'm really glad, and

572
00:27:56,600 --> 00:27:59,600
Speaker 1: I we I think we can all agree on this.

573
00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:03,960
Speaker 1: We I've seen a tremendous difference from Ezekiel Elia two

574
00:28:04,040 --> 00:28:06,480
Speaker 1: years ago to the one that he is now. So

575
00:28:06,800 --> 00:28:08,920
Speaker 1: I don't think this changes anything. It does for me

576
00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:12,800
Speaker 1: because um not for one, because of the camp. Yeah,

577
00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:17,160
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, because of the camp he had the next day. Yeah,

578
00:28:17,240 --> 00:28:21,080
Speaker 1: I mean you are nine hours removed from being on

579
00:28:21,119 --> 00:28:25,199
Speaker 1: the field with when you know, from Dallas to Las Vegas.

580
00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:28,359
Speaker 1: You're in Las Vegas nine hours from now, you're going

581
00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:32,560
Speaker 1: to be uh in Dallas with these kids that that

582
00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:34,640
Speaker 1: paid a lot of money for you. To be there

583
00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:38,840
Speaker 1: and to give them your best, and you know, he's

584
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:42,480
Speaker 1: superhuman on the field, and so maybe he was absolutely

585
00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:45,680
Speaker 1: at his best at noon. But I don't know. I

586
00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:49,400
Speaker 1: just is that really fair though, because okay, I like

587
00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:52,760
Speaker 1: to put it in the context of myself when I

588
00:28:52,800 --> 00:28:55,120
Speaker 1: was a young man and out having a good time,

589
00:28:55,240 --> 00:28:57,600
Speaker 1: Like I didn't think necessarily me going out tonight and

590
00:28:57,640 --> 00:29:00,360
Speaker 1: having a great time had anything to do with my

591
00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:03,360
Speaker 1: ability to get up the next day and do my job.

592
00:29:03,400 --> 00:29:05,560
Speaker 1: And I know you and I, like we were young,

593
00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:07,800
Speaker 1: you could actually do it. I can't train again. We

594
00:29:07,800 --> 00:29:09,400
Speaker 1: go out, we'd have a great time at night, and

595
00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:11,280
Speaker 1: the next morning we were up and at you know,

596
00:29:11,400 --> 00:29:13,360
Speaker 1: up and at him at seven thirty eight o'clock, ready

597
00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:17,000
Speaker 1: to do work. Right. I think there's an important difference there,

598
00:29:17,080 --> 00:29:19,920
Speaker 1: And I would never throw stones. I said this on

599
00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:22,280
Speaker 1: the show last week, like I've been to work hungover

600
00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:25,320
Speaker 1: so many times in my career. Not this week, not

601
00:29:25,440 --> 00:29:28,320
Speaker 1: this week? Really, Yeah, I know it's shocking, isn't It's

602
00:29:28,440 --> 00:29:31,239
Speaker 1: it's absolutely shock were doing his review? Yeah we need

603
00:29:31,360 --> 00:29:37,560
Speaker 1: Actually it's maybe yeah, but there's a difference between you know,

604
00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:40,160
Speaker 1: if you're rolling out of bed to go cover training

605
00:29:40,200 --> 00:29:42,239
Speaker 1: camp practice and that's your job, and maybe you had

606
00:29:42,240 --> 00:29:44,560
Speaker 1: a few too many. Or like if we were doing

607
00:29:44,600 --> 00:29:47,320
Speaker 1: a live episode of The Break and people were paying

608
00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:48,840
Speaker 1: to watch us and we were going to do a

609
00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:51,360
Speaker 1: meet and greet, like, Hey, nice to meet you, Thanks

610
00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:54,040
Speaker 1: for coming to our show, Hopefully I wouldn't come to

611
00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:56,480
Speaker 1: that with a terrible hangover, you know, like people are

612
00:29:56,520 --> 00:29:59,520
Speaker 1: paying for your services. Now, let's go back to when

613
00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:01,520
Speaker 1: we were in London and we were just kind of

614
00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:04,280
Speaker 1: hanging out and we were enjoying London, and we had

615
00:30:04,320 --> 00:30:07,120
Speaker 1: shows every single day, and there were people that would

616
00:30:07,120 --> 00:30:09,600
Speaker 1: never ever get a chance to interact with us, and

617
00:30:09,640 --> 00:30:13,080
Speaker 1: we were we giving them our best every every day.

618
00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:15,400
Speaker 1: Hell yeah, it's one of the best weeks of my life. Right.

619
00:30:15,440 --> 00:30:17,800
Speaker 1: But but we were enjoying the nightlife though, weren't we. Yeah,

620
00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:21,800
Speaker 1: those shows were Okay, hold on, here's the here's the

621
00:30:21,800 --> 00:30:24,840
Speaker 1: difference between that because the people that we were working

622
00:30:25,320 --> 00:30:28,200
Speaker 1: for were the ones that were passing all the drink.

623
00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:32,600
Speaker 1: Yeah again, And we don't know if he was drum right,

624
00:30:32,760 --> 00:30:35,520
Speaker 1: We know, we don't. We don't. Okay point two. True,

625
00:30:35,640 --> 00:30:38,520
Speaker 1: It's just that it would be the same if it

626
00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:42,280
Speaker 1: like if okay three o'clock in the morning. We've all

627
00:30:42,320 --> 00:30:44,240
Speaker 1: done it on a road trip. We've been in a

628
00:30:44,360 --> 00:30:47,080
Speaker 1: hotel abby at three o'clock in the morning, because we

629
00:30:47,160 --> 00:30:49,000
Speaker 1: don't have the same job to do. If we saw

630
00:30:49,040 --> 00:30:52,360
Speaker 1: a player doing that, you know, obviously that is his craft,

631
00:30:52,400 --> 00:30:54,360
Speaker 1: that's his profession. You'd like to think that he's not

632
00:30:54,440 --> 00:30:56,840
Speaker 1: going to break curfew. But if for that moment here

633
00:30:56,880 --> 00:31:01,080
Speaker 1: in May, that is his job, he's he paid pretty

634
00:31:01,080 --> 00:31:03,520
Speaker 1: good money to do that and be available. But so

635
00:31:03,760 --> 00:31:06,080
Speaker 1: the whole question you asked me was does it Does

636
00:31:06,080 --> 00:31:08,920
Speaker 1: it change my perception for him and his maturity a

637
00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:12,200
Speaker 1: little bit? Because you opened yourself up for it to

638
00:31:12,680 --> 00:31:15,400
Speaker 1: be there, and at three o'clock in the morning, you're

639
00:31:15,440 --> 00:31:19,520
Speaker 1: you're out, you're cutting it close, and I just think

640
00:31:19,560 --> 00:31:22,600
Speaker 1: it's that's not a good look for me. And that's

641
00:31:22,600 --> 00:31:24,960
Speaker 1: the part I get when you say, just from a

642
00:31:24,960 --> 00:31:28,960
Speaker 1: standpoint of being self aware, understanding the environment, understanding the

643
00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:31,440
Speaker 1: people that are around you, understanding the cameras are there,

644
00:31:31,760 --> 00:31:35,680
Speaker 1: understanding that it's probably not what's is saying, nothing good

645
00:31:35,720 --> 00:31:37,920
Speaker 1: happens after three o'clock and after two o'clock and the

646
00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:40,160
Speaker 1: more whatever it is. I mean, yes, that's a matter

647
00:31:40,160 --> 00:31:42,960
Speaker 1: of maturity and maybe he's not at that point yet,

648
00:31:43,440 --> 00:31:45,240
Speaker 1: but I don't know that. I think that because he

649
00:31:45,280 --> 00:31:46,680
Speaker 1: was out having a good time and he had something

650
00:31:46,720 --> 00:31:49,440
Speaker 1: to do the next day, that necessarily, in my opinion,

651
00:31:49,520 --> 00:31:53,560
Speaker 1: changes my belief in his maturity. It doesn't really affect

652
00:31:53,600 --> 00:31:57,400
Speaker 1: my opinion just because it's it all fits with it

653
00:31:57,440 --> 00:31:59,959
Speaker 1: all fits comfortably within the picture of who he is.

654
00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:02,240
Speaker 1: And I do think he's grown up since he got

655
00:32:02,240 --> 00:32:05,680
Speaker 1: in the league, but at the same time, he's still

656
00:32:05,880 --> 00:32:07,600
Speaker 1: he's still similar to me in the sense that, you know,

657
00:32:07,640 --> 00:32:09,640
Speaker 1: I feel like we ride this roller coaster, where like

658
00:32:09,680 --> 00:32:13,040
Speaker 1: in twenty seventeen he was the devil and that was

659
00:32:13,080 --> 00:32:15,800
Speaker 1: never true. And then I don't want to point fingers,

660
00:32:15,800 --> 00:32:18,160
Speaker 1: but in twenty nineteen, you can. People are trying to

661
00:32:18,200 --> 00:32:20,720
Speaker 1: push this narrative that he's like Saint Zeke now, like,

662
00:32:20,960 --> 00:32:23,880
Speaker 1: look at the amazing offseason Zeke is having. He's he's

663
00:32:23,960 --> 00:32:27,360
Speaker 1: feeding the homeless and doing like he's just the most wonderful.

664
00:32:27,400 --> 00:32:29,640
Speaker 1: That's not true either, Like neither one of these things

665
00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:32,320
Speaker 1: is true. He's a twenty three year old kid who

666
00:32:32,840 --> 00:32:35,760
Speaker 1: has a big heart, loves to make kind gestures for people,

667
00:32:36,480 --> 00:32:38,400
Speaker 1: is an amazing Probably was that guy back in said

668
00:32:38,400 --> 00:32:40,640
Speaker 1: twenty seventeen, from the standpoint of just be having a

669
00:32:40,640 --> 00:32:43,280
Speaker 1: big heart. Yeah, big heart. Teammates love him. He does

670
00:32:43,360 --> 00:32:45,880
Speaker 1: nice things in the community. He's also twenty three and

671
00:32:45,960 --> 00:32:49,200
Speaker 1: likes the nightlife. That is well documented going back to which,

672
00:32:49,240 --> 00:32:51,520
Speaker 1: by the way, most twenty three year course love the nightlife,

673
00:32:51,560 --> 00:32:54,120
Speaker 1: of course, loves you know, loves to have a good time.

674
00:32:54,400 --> 00:32:56,280
Speaker 1: He can be kind of moody, He can be kind

675
00:32:56,320 --> 00:32:58,560
Speaker 1: of grumpy. He can also be like the happiest dude

676
00:32:58,560 --> 00:33:00,120
Speaker 1: I've ever seen. It just kind of depends on when

677
00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:02,800
Speaker 1: you catch him, like, are you describing him? Are you hey?

678
00:33:02,560 --> 00:33:05,000
Speaker 1: Maybe that's why we get along. I don't know. It

679
00:33:05,040 --> 00:33:06,960
Speaker 1: all fits within the picture of who he like. He's

680
00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:10,440
Speaker 1: a pretty normal twenty three year old guy who happens

681
00:33:10,480 --> 00:33:13,840
Speaker 1: to be awesome in football and rich and rich rich

682
00:33:13,880 --> 00:33:17,560
Speaker 1: as hell. I think he needs I think he needs

683
00:33:17,600 --> 00:33:21,120
Speaker 1: to be a little more perceptive of just how big

684
00:33:21,120 --> 00:33:24,160
Speaker 1: the spotlight on him is. But you know that'll come

685
00:33:24,160 --> 00:33:27,160
Speaker 1: in time, hopefully. Some of the clips I saw from

686
00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:31,480
Speaker 1: the camp, he seemed pretty good interacting with the kids.

687
00:33:31,280 --> 00:33:33,480
Speaker 1: That's where I would have a problem with it. I

688
00:33:33,480 --> 00:33:35,800
Speaker 1: don't have a problem with it right now. But I

689
00:33:35,920 --> 00:33:39,760
Speaker 1: would have had he been like just grumpy and just

690
00:33:39,800 --> 00:33:42,160
Speaker 1: standing there and not really interacting with the kids. I

691
00:33:42,160 --> 00:33:45,200
Speaker 1: think he was able to provide what the kids wanted

692
00:33:45,240 --> 00:33:48,760
Speaker 1: and provide that experience for them. So it doesn't really matter.

693
00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:51,560
Speaker 1: I'll point the finger back at myself because I do

694
00:33:51,640 --> 00:33:54,040
Speaker 1: this with Brian all the time. Brian brought us, loves

695
00:33:54,080 --> 00:33:56,800
Speaker 1: to give me crap about like when I come in

696
00:33:57,120 --> 00:33:59,720
Speaker 1: or what time I leave, or what I was doing

697
00:33:59,720 --> 00:34:02,040
Speaker 1: the night before, And I'm like, if I'm here and

698
00:34:02,080 --> 00:34:03,560
Speaker 1: I do my job and I do it well, why

699
00:34:03,800 --> 00:34:06,600
Speaker 1: who's business? Like? Why your business? Yeah? And I think

700
00:34:06,600 --> 00:34:08,879
Speaker 1: that's in everybody's life. I think the point is if

701
00:34:08,920 --> 00:34:11,360
Speaker 1: you can manage it like I don't. I don't regulate

702
00:34:11,400 --> 00:34:13,680
Speaker 1: your your employers should not regulate what you do in

703
00:34:13,719 --> 00:34:16,400
Speaker 1: your off time. But when you get to the office,

704
00:34:16,719 --> 00:34:18,920
Speaker 1: there have been better not be lingering effects of what

705
00:34:18,960 --> 00:34:20,719
Speaker 1: you did in your off time. So as long as

706
00:34:20,719 --> 00:34:22,960
Speaker 1: you can manner and there was though, because I'm sure

707
00:34:22,960 --> 00:34:25,680
Speaker 1: he's still on his wrist. He's probably still had the hint,

708
00:34:25,760 --> 00:34:27,600
Speaker 1: you know, but who cares? But that doesn't matter if

709
00:34:27,640 --> 00:34:29,800
Speaker 1: he who cares? What do you mean if he's still capable?

710
00:34:29,920 --> 00:34:32,640
Speaker 1: If He's still capable of giving those kids a great experience.

711
00:34:32,960 --> 00:34:35,160
Speaker 1: He was not detained from the standpoint of still being

712
00:34:35,200 --> 00:34:36,640
Speaker 1: there when he was supposed to be at the camp.

713
00:34:36,840 --> 00:34:38,360
Speaker 1: So if he shows up at the camp and he

714
00:34:38,400 --> 00:34:40,960
Speaker 1: gives those kids his best, I don't think whatever happened

715
00:34:41,040 --> 00:34:43,759
Speaker 1: last night really matters. Okay, So the twice So the

716
00:34:43,840 --> 00:34:47,800
Speaker 1: question is do you think that you have any issues

717
00:34:47,840 --> 00:34:50,920
Speaker 1: with his maturity? And I say yeah, because because right

718
00:34:50,920 --> 00:34:53,279
Speaker 1: before the day of the camp, you know, and I

719
00:34:53,800 --> 00:34:56,760
Speaker 1: have kids, You have kids in the camp leader sitting

720
00:34:56,800 --> 00:34:59,359
Speaker 1: there and he's like, well, you know, nine hours ago

721
00:34:59,400 --> 00:35:01,600
Speaker 1: he was in hand cuffs in Las Vegas. Maybe it

722
00:35:01,640 --> 00:35:03,560
Speaker 1: was his fault, maybe it wasn't, but he was still there.

723
00:35:03,840 --> 00:35:05,960
Speaker 1: Like you're still going to raise questions and be like, oh,

724
00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:08,640
Speaker 1: that wasn't the best decision. Wasn't the best decision? And

725
00:35:08,680 --> 00:35:11,319
Speaker 1: does he where does he fly? Does he fly his

726
00:35:11,360 --> 00:35:13,600
Speaker 1: own jet or does he does he do commercial because

727
00:35:13,600 --> 00:35:17,440
Speaker 1: I know Shannon spent twelve hours in Vegas. Yeah, Shannon

728
00:35:17,480 --> 00:35:21,080
Speaker 1: grows twelve hours back and forth, five hour delays here

729
00:35:21,080 --> 00:35:23,640
Speaker 1: and there. Even if you're not in handcuffs, even if

730
00:35:23,680 --> 00:35:27,440
Speaker 1: you're just doing great community work, that's cutting it close.

731
00:35:27,520 --> 00:35:29,160
Speaker 1: For a camp that you need to be there for.

732
00:35:29,440 --> 00:35:34,040
Speaker 1: That's all I'm saying. So which so everything I just said, yeah,

733
00:35:34,080 --> 00:35:36,759
Speaker 1: like if you can handle it, good for you, this

734
00:35:36,800 --> 00:35:39,360
Speaker 1: is America, all that good stuff. But like the truly

735
00:35:39,520 --> 00:35:43,160
Speaker 1: mature decision might have been, like, hey, I got this

736
00:35:43,200 --> 00:35:45,960
Speaker 1: thing on Sunday, I'll probably just kick it in Dallas

737
00:35:45,960 --> 00:35:48,279
Speaker 1: and Vegas will be there another weekend. And when I

738
00:35:48,360 --> 00:35:50,239
Speaker 1: was twenty three years old, I wasn't mature either. I

739
00:35:50,239 --> 00:35:52,279
Speaker 1: don't even know if I am right now. So the

740
00:35:52,360 --> 00:35:55,400
Speaker 1: question about being mature, like does that really even matter? No,

741
00:35:55,480 --> 00:35:57,080
Speaker 1: I don't think he's that mature. But I think he's

742
00:35:57,080 --> 00:35:59,200
Speaker 1: one hell of a football player. He's still learning, he

743
00:35:59,560 --> 00:36:02,440
Speaker 1: has at heart. That the same guy that's paying for

744
00:36:02,480 --> 00:36:07,040
Speaker 1: a funeral for a kid that was was he murdered

745
00:36:07,080 --> 00:36:09,279
Speaker 1: in the same shot shot. Yeah, I mean it's a

746
00:36:09,360 --> 00:36:12,960
Speaker 1: terrible story. Uh you know that that's great, But that

747
00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:16,480
Speaker 1: guy still it's okay that he likes to go out

748
00:36:16,520 --> 00:36:19,000
Speaker 1: and have fun. Everyone does. I just don't. Maybe what

749
00:36:19,040 --> 00:36:20,279
Speaker 1: I'm trying to say is, I don't even know if

750
00:36:20,280 --> 00:36:23,920
Speaker 1: it matters that much. There's guys, I mean, Michael Vert

751
00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:25,800
Speaker 1: is one of the greatest players the Cowboys history. I

752
00:36:25,800 --> 00:36:27,359
Speaker 1: don't know if he was mature at the end of

753
00:36:27,400 --> 00:36:30,880
Speaker 1: his career. Yeah, it happens like that. They're not paying

754
00:36:30,960 --> 00:36:33,920
Speaker 1: for him to be They're paying for him to be

755
00:36:33,960 --> 00:36:36,160
Speaker 1: a great football player. And that's what he is, and

756
00:36:36,280 --> 00:36:37,879
Speaker 1: you know he's going to have some issues that way,

757
00:36:37,920 --> 00:36:40,040
Speaker 1: he sticks to what he is. Part of what they're

758
00:36:40,040 --> 00:36:42,920
Speaker 1: paying for is the confidence that he will be available

759
00:36:42,960 --> 00:36:45,440
Speaker 1: to them. That's true and that and that's I guess

760
00:36:46,160 --> 00:36:48,319
Speaker 1: where I come down on this is as of right now,

761
00:36:48,360 --> 00:36:51,439
Speaker 1: I don't think it's a big enough deal. I said.

762
00:36:51,640 --> 00:36:53,680
Speaker 1: I did a segment with Brian brought Us on TV

763
00:36:53,840 --> 00:36:56,160
Speaker 1: last week where I was like, if the Cowboys are

764
00:36:56,239 --> 00:36:58,640
Speaker 1: thrown off by this, then like, how well do they

765
00:36:58,680 --> 00:37:01,160
Speaker 1: really know their players? Because, like I said, it fits

766
00:37:01,200 --> 00:37:03,800
Speaker 1: within the narrative of what we know about Ezekiel Elliott.

767
00:37:03,880 --> 00:37:05,840
Speaker 1: So they should be the last people that are surprised.

768
00:37:05,840 --> 00:37:08,799
Speaker 1: They might be disappointed, they shouldn't be surprised by it. Yeah.

769
00:37:08,800 --> 00:37:10,560
Speaker 1: So you could be a quality person and still like

770
00:37:10,600 --> 00:37:13,279
Speaker 1: you kick it, Yeah, absolutely, And kicking it might mean

771
00:37:13,320 --> 00:37:14,839
Speaker 1: you might be the wrong place at the wrong time,

772
00:37:15,000 --> 00:37:17,040
Speaker 1: So you might get into bad situations because you're not

773
00:37:17,200 --> 00:37:19,560
Speaker 1: because you're worth somewhere that at that time and night,

774
00:37:19,760 --> 00:37:22,400
Speaker 1: bad things can tend to happen. But there's a point

775
00:37:22,440 --> 00:37:25,560
Speaker 1: in that video where you don't have to do that.

776
00:37:25,640 --> 00:37:27,759
Speaker 1: You don't have to load your shoulder on the guy

777
00:37:27,840 --> 00:37:30,719
Speaker 1: and even make it, you don't have to go that far.

778
00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:32,799
Speaker 1: I think it's a serious thing. No, I don't, But

779
00:37:32,880 --> 00:37:34,880
Speaker 1: I'm just saying he could have walked away from that.

780
00:37:34,920 --> 00:37:37,920
Speaker 1: But that's also where I do think that my opinion

781
00:37:37,960 --> 00:37:40,960
Speaker 1: may have changed to the better because I agree with Amber.

782
00:37:41,040 --> 00:37:43,279
Speaker 1: I think there were moments in that video when it

783
00:37:43,280 --> 00:37:45,520
Speaker 1: could have gotten a lot worse. And I think I

784
00:37:45,560 --> 00:37:48,040
Speaker 1: think there was a certain level of restraint that he

785
00:37:48,160 --> 00:37:51,960
Speaker 1: had in that video in a couple different situations where

786
00:37:52,040 --> 00:37:54,000
Speaker 1: I'm not sure that a few years ago he would

787
00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:56,360
Speaker 1: have had that same level of restraint. Now, is he

788
00:37:56,440 --> 00:37:58,319
Speaker 1: where he needs to be? As a forty seight year

789
00:37:58,320 --> 00:38:00,319
Speaker 1: old man, I'd probably make much different decision and then

790
00:38:00,320 --> 00:38:02,720
Speaker 1: he would have made. But I'm also forty six years old,

791
00:38:02,920 --> 00:38:04,960
Speaker 1: and and that's a matter of getting older and being

792
00:38:04,960 --> 00:38:07,120
Speaker 1: more mature. He can be more mature now than he

793
00:38:07,239 --> 00:38:09,879
Speaker 1: was back then. That doesn't mean he's fully developed yet,

794
00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:15,160
Speaker 1: right fair. I mean that's that's fair that you said

795
00:38:15,200 --> 00:38:19,920
Speaker 1: that I'm over this conversation. It's I mean, you can,

796
00:38:20,400 --> 00:38:22,960
Speaker 1: like we've been arguing, you can argue both sides, and

797
00:38:23,680 --> 00:38:25,960
Speaker 1: it's just whatever it is, what it is. We'll see

798
00:38:26,000 --> 00:38:28,000
Speaker 1: what the league does, if they do something. But in

799
00:38:28,040 --> 00:38:31,120
Speaker 1: the meantime, it's which it's a tough conversation to have

800
00:38:31,200 --> 00:38:33,680
Speaker 1: because it's it's not a black and white issue that

801
00:38:33,719 --> 00:38:36,359
Speaker 1: you can just come down with a firm take on, right,

802
00:38:36,480 --> 00:38:38,520
Speaker 1: And that's what so many people want to do and

803
00:38:38,560 --> 00:38:42,359
Speaker 1: I refuse to. But yeah, so I mean like, yeah,

804
00:38:42,400 --> 00:38:44,440
Speaker 1: I mean, just kind of play it by ear. It

805
00:38:44,840 --> 00:38:48,840
Speaker 1: doesn't really drastically change my opinion of what I already

806
00:38:49,000 --> 00:38:52,120
Speaker 1: knew about Ezekiel Elliott. It's something that he needs to

807
00:38:52,120 --> 00:38:55,400
Speaker 1: continue to work on, and I'd be surprised if he

808
00:38:55,480 --> 00:38:58,800
Speaker 1: got suspended, but you can never say for sure. So

809
00:38:58,880 --> 00:39:00,839
Speaker 1: let's take that to the other stream. Then we only

810
00:39:00,840 --> 00:39:02,239
Speaker 1: have a few more minutes here because we got to

811
00:39:02,320 --> 00:39:04,279
Speaker 1: leave a little early today at ten thirty for Coach

812
00:39:04,320 --> 00:39:06,839
Speaker 1: Garret's press conference. We have to say, see, no, we'll

813
00:39:06,880 --> 00:39:10,160
Speaker 1: get to that next week. But um, let's assume for

814
00:39:10,160 --> 00:39:12,440
Speaker 1: a second at the Cowboy that the Cowboys do face

815
00:39:13,080 --> 00:39:16,239
Speaker 1: a potential suspension with Zeke. How comfortable do you fill

816
00:39:16,280 --> 00:39:18,200
Speaker 1: with the running back position right now, knowing that there's

817
00:39:18,239 --> 00:39:20,319
Speaker 1: not a lot of experience there. You would have to

818
00:39:20,560 --> 00:39:22,759
Speaker 1: let's assume that it's it happens at the beginning of

819
00:39:22,760 --> 00:39:24,359
Speaker 1: the season and there are some games that he has

820
00:39:24,400 --> 00:39:27,239
Speaker 1: to miss. How comfortable do you feel that rookies can

821
00:39:27,280 --> 00:39:29,080
Speaker 1: immediately step in and be able to give you what

822
00:39:29,120 --> 00:39:31,879
Speaker 1: you need for those games and not going to replace Zeke?

823
00:39:32,040 --> 00:39:34,399
Speaker 1: They're not good enough to replace Zeke. Gonna know who

824
00:39:34,440 --> 00:39:37,719
Speaker 1: in the league would um it's the one position where

825
00:39:37,760 --> 00:39:41,840
Speaker 1: guys can plug in and be more effective than others.

826
00:39:41,840 --> 00:39:45,399
Speaker 1: And I you're drafted too, They're gonna have to do it.

827
00:39:45,520 --> 00:39:48,160
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't think you go. Maybe they would

828
00:39:48,160 --> 00:39:50,080
Speaker 1: go and sign someone that's out there, but I don't

829
00:39:50,080 --> 00:39:55,520
Speaker 1: think so. Tony Pollard, Mike Weber that the fact that

830
00:39:56,080 --> 00:39:59,080
Speaker 1: a lot of confidence you'll have to rely on your

831
00:39:59,280 --> 00:40:02,719
Speaker 1: old line and hope that they can do give the

832
00:40:02,800 --> 00:40:05,640
Speaker 1: running back position as much help as they can and

833
00:40:05,719 --> 00:40:08,919
Speaker 1: open some holes for the guy. But hard I got

834
00:40:09,120 --> 00:40:11,439
Speaker 1: a hard disagree from me guys, and like, I don't

835
00:40:11,440 --> 00:40:13,480
Speaker 1: feel good about it, but I have to go get

836
00:40:13,520 --> 00:40:17,400
Speaker 1: somebody Alfred Morris, whatever, somebody that's done it. Somebody I

837
00:40:17,440 --> 00:40:21,399
Speaker 1: mean Mike Weber and again, and they were pumped about him.

838
00:40:21,400 --> 00:40:23,520
Speaker 1: Maybe he's awesome. You know, he played at Ohio State.

839
00:40:23,800 --> 00:40:26,719
Speaker 1: That that counts for a lot. But Bo Scarborough played

840
00:40:26,719 --> 00:40:28,719
Speaker 1: at Alabama and people were high on him. He was

841
00:40:28,800 --> 00:40:31,040
Speaker 1: drafted in the same range and he didn't make this team.

842
00:40:31,840 --> 00:40:35,040
Speaker 1: Darius Jackson has six carries to his name. Tony Pollard

843
00:40:35,040 --> 00:40:38,600
Speaker 1: looks fast as hell, very exciting. I'm not sure I

844
00:40:38,640 --> 00:40:40,960
Speaker 1: want to lean on him to carry the load for

845
00:40:41,000 --> 00:40:45,440
Speaker 1: an NFL team one game into his career, even if

846
00:40:45,480 --> 00:40:47,279
Speaker 1: it's like an Alfred Morris, Like, I'm not saying it

847
00:40:47,280 --> 00:40:51,120
Speaker 1: would be somebody that would inspire confidence, but I would

848
00:40:51,120 --> 00:40:52,880
Speaker 1: try to go get someone. Even if you see a

849
00:40:52,880 --> 00:40:56,680
Speaker 1: good preseason from one of these two guys. Darius Jackson

850
00:40:56,680 --> 00:40:59,239
Speaker 1: looked freaking awesome in the preseason a couple of years ago.

851
00:40:59,280 --> 00:41:02,280
Speaker 1: Philip Tanner pretty good. Yeah, But you know, I honestly

852
00:41:02,320 --> 00:41:04,359
Speaker 1: believe though, if you look at kind of the way

853
00:41:04,400 --> 00:41:07,480
Speaker 1: this team is constructed. Number One, I think your offensive

854
00:41:07,520 --> 00:41:10,560
Speaker 1: line should be as good at least as they were

855
00:41:10,640 --> 00:41:12,560
Speaker 1: last year, and I think they were pretty good running

856
00:41:12,560 --> 00:41:14,719
Speaker 1: the ball. There were some deficiencies, particularly in the goal

857
00:41:14,760 --> 00:41:18,640
Speaker 1: line areas. I think that in what will be Dack's

858
00:41:18,719 --> 00:41:22,000
Speaker 1: forts season, my expectation is that this year he's gonna

859
00:41:22,000 --> 00:41:25,120
Speaker 1: take that next step, and especially if he's going to

860
00:41:25,160 --> 00:41:26,880
Speaker 1: be your quarterback of the future, this is about the

861
00:41:26,920 --> 00:41:29,520
Speaker 1: time you start seeing teams kind of make that transition

862
00:41:29,520 --> 00:41:31,400
Speaker 1: to where they can have some games in a season,

863
00:41:31,719 --> 00:41:33,520
Speaker 1: maybe not every game, but they can have some games

864
00:41:33,520 --> 00:41:35,080
Speaker 1: in a season where they go into the game saying,

865
00:41:35,080 --> 00:41:36,839
Speaker 1: we're gonna put the ball in our quarterbacks hands. He's

866
00:41:36,840 --> 00:41:39,200
Speaker 1: gonna win this game for us. So you look at

867
00:41:39,200 --> 00:41:41,040
Speaker 1: those things and you look at the fact that, again,

868
00:41:41,120 --> 00:41:43,800
Speaker 1: running back is a position where when you talk about

869
00:41:44,000 --> 00:41:45,880
Speaker 1: being able to come in the league and produce immediately,

870
00:41:45,960 --> 00:41:48,759
Speaker 1: we see it all the time their players that come

871
00:41:48,760 --> 00:41:50,960
Speaker 1: in this league, and especially when they got good offense

872
00:41:51,000 --> 00:41:53,080
Speaker 1: around them, when they've got a good offensive line, they've

873
00:41:53,120 --> 00:41:57,239
Speaker 1: got capable receivers, capable quarterback. We've seen running backs coming

874
00:41:57,280 --> 00:41:59,759
Speaker 1: this league and immediately make an impact. I don't think

875
00:41:59,760 --> 00:42:01,520
Speaker 1: this is the worst thing in the world. And I

876
00:42:01,520 --> 00:42:04,120
Speaker 1: think a guy like Darius Jackson has been here. He's

877
00:42:04,200 --> 00:42:05,960
Speaker 1: not a you know, he's not a guy that's got

878
00:42:05,960 --> 00:42:08,719
Speaker 1: a ton of reps here, but he certainly has been here,

879
00:42:08,760 --> 00:42:11,120
Speaker 1: and so I think between him and those two young guys,

880
00:42:11,360 --> 00:42:13,440
Speaker 1: I think you got enough backs to where you can

881
00:42:13,520 --> 00:42:15,719
Speaker 1: make this thing go. Now. I'm also assuming that if

882
00:42:15,719 --> 00:42:18,759
Speaker 1: he gets suspended, this is like a short term thing. Yeah,

883
00:42:18,840 --> 00:42:20,600
Speaker 1: if if it turns into a six game, which I

884
00:42:20,640 --> 00:42:22,480
Speaker 1: don't think he will buy any means. But if it's

885
00:42:22,480 --> 00:42:24,080
Speaker 1: a long term thing, now you got a point. But

886
00:42:24,080 --> 00:42:25,680
Speaker 1: if you're talking a couple of games, I think he

887
00:42:25,719 --> 00:42:27,080
Speaker 1: got what you need. You go with and you see

888
00:42:27,080 --> 00:42:30,680
Speaker 1: what happened. Let me ask the Cowboys historian here, when

889
00:42:30,719 --> 00:42:32,560
Speaker 1: was the last time that a running back who wasn't

890
00:42:32,560 --> 00:42:34,560
Speaker 1: the top one hundred pick did that for this team

891
00:42:34,960 --> 00:42:37,600
Speaker 1: as a rookie? Just well period? But yeah, sure as

892
00:42:37,600 --> 00:42:41,440
Speaker 1: a rookie would be even better. Marion Barber, Yeah, how

893
00:42:41,440 --> 00:42:43,279
Speaker 1: long did it take him to do that? Actually? His

894
00:42:43,400 --> 00:42:47,480
Speaker 1: rookie year? About the week five year Tony Collard. Yeah,

895
00:42:47,520 --> 00:42:49,919
Speaker 1: I mean, let's go. Yeah, but it was like week five,

896
00:42:50,080 --> 00:42:53,440
Speaker 1: It wasn't like week one. And he was different because

897
00:42:53,760 --> 00:42:57,839
Speaker 1: he was a barbarian. I mean he could run over people, um,

898
00:42:58,280 --> 00:43:00,920
Speaker 1: and he had a great Where was he picked? Um?

899
00:43:01,360 --> 00:43:03,839
Speaker 1: He it was in the fourth round. I would say,

900
00:43:05,480 --> 00:43:08,279
Speaker 1: you know, with there's two picks in the fourth round

901
00:43:08,280 --> 00:43:10,359
Speaker 1: that year. One of them was Canty, another one was him,

902
00:43:10,360 --> 00:43:13,920
Speaker 1: but I think he was the first one. Okay, all right,

903
00:43:13,960 --> 00:43:16,200
Speaker 1: but in that range of it was one hundred. I

904
00:43:16,239 --> 00:43:20,200
Speaker 1: mean I under like, I get running back value there.

905
00:43:20,239 --> 00:43:21,799
Speaker 1: You can find them all over the place. I know,

906
00:43:22,440 --> 00:43:25,600
Speaker 1: Jordan Howard, Philip lindsay, I get it. I haven't seen

907
00:43:25,640 --> 00:43:28,279
Speaker 1: it happen for this team in the time I've been here.

908
00:43:28,320 --> 00:43:30,160
Speaker 1: That didn't really matter for this team. I mean, if

909
00:43:30,160 --> 00:43:32,600
Speaker 1: it happens around the NFL, then it can happen well.

910
00:43:32,600 --> 00:43:34,759
Speaker 1: But but what you have seen is you have seen

911
00:43:34,800 --> 00:43:37,479
Speaker 1: a third round pick set the Cowboys record for most

912
00:43:37,560 --> 00:43:40,200
Speaker 1: rushing yards in a season. You've also seen a guy

913
00:43:40,600 --> 00:43:42,600
Speaker 1: that was at the end of his career and was

914
00:43:42,600 --> 00:43:44,719

915
00:43:44,800 --> 00:43:48,040
