Yeah, to 0:01:27.000 --> 0:01:30.039 say the least. It is your job rather yeah, yeah, 0:01:30.080 --> 0:01:32.400 somebody told me on Saturday to not talk as much. 0:01:32.480 --> 0:01:33.319 I'm not going to tell you. 0:01:33.240 --> 0:01:37.080 Who, but needs help. It looks like, oh, yes, okay, 0:01:37.160 --> 0:01:38.760 you good. I can hear you're right next to me, 0:01:38.800 --> 0:01:39.280 so we're good. 0:01:40.160 --> 0:01:40.720 I found it. 0:01:40.760 --> 0:01:42.520 We're good, John. How are you doing today? 0:01:43.080 --> 0:01:43.559 I'm good. 0:01:43.680 --> 0:01:45.480 I got I had a little complaint here that maybe 0:01:45.480 --> 0:01:48.600 you guys will disagree with me, But do you think 0:01:48.680 --> 0:01:51.960 these practices have been as exciting those last two as 0:01:52.240 --> 0:01:53.320 the ones that ox snard? 0:01:53.480 --> 0:01:54.440 Am I off on this? 0:01:54.800 --> 0:01:57.200 I just when I'm watching them, And maybe it's because 0:01:57.280 --> 0:02:00.600 we're not allowed to take pictures or video, so maybe 0:02:00.640 --> 0:02:02.840 that that is it for me. But there's only been 0:02:02.920 --> 0:02:06.400 like a handful of really wow plays to me over 0:02:06.400 --> 0:02:08.920 these two, these last two practices, which are the ones 0:02:08.960 --> 0:02:11.000 that we're going to be the most interesting with pads 0:02:11.000 --> 0:02:12.240 on and stuff like, am I wrong on that? 0:02:12.280 --> 0:02:13.280 Am I missing out? Where? 0:02:13.639 --> 0:02:13.679 It? 0:02:14.120 --> 0:02:17.519 Honestly wouldn't surprise me after what happened to Tyron last year? 0:02:18.040 --> 0:02:20.600 This week and then also coming off of the injuries 0:02:20.600 --> 0:02:23.000 that happened on Saturday, maybe there was a conversation had 0:02:23.000 --> 0:02:25.240 before the week, like hey, let's just let's let's let's 0:02:25.240 --> 0:02:27.360 take it easy this week. The other part of twos 0:02:27.360 --> 0:02:28.280 and threes really get it. 0:02:28.600 --> 0:02:30.799 The other part the other part with me too. It's 0:02:30.880 --> 0:02:34.840 kind of a weird comparison, but so like if you 0:02:34.880 --> 0:02:38.760 watch a game at Globe Life with the roof open 0:02:38.840 --> 0:02:40.880 and the roof closed, to me, it's two different things. 0:02:40.919 --> 0:02:42.880 Like when the roof is closed and there's all that 0:02:42.960 --> 0:02:45.160 dead time in between pitches, like you feel like you 0:02:45.160 --> 0:02:47.400 can hear somebody talking, like over on the other side 0:02:47.400 --> 0:02:49.800 of the entire you know, stadium. 0:02:49.840 --> 0:02:51.320 Sure, But when the roof's open. 0:02:51.120 --> 0:02:52.919 There's like some more natural noise and things like that. 0:02:53.280 --> 0:02:55.840 So at training camp, I feel like you're outside and 0:02:55.840 --> 0:02:58.040 there's a little bit of that and so, but when 0:02:58.080 --> 0:03:01.200 you're back inside and there's really no music, I just 0:03:01.240 --> 0:03:04.760 feel like sometimes it drags from a spectator standpoint, you know, 0:03:04.960 --> 0:03:07.720 because obviously, like I don't know if you people listening 0:03:07.760 --> 0:03:09.800 probably heard this, Like Mike McCarthy's not big on playing 0:03:09.800 --> 0:03:12.040 a bunch of music like that was always big, Like 0:03:12.120 --> 0:03:13.840 Jason Garrett used to always play a ton of music, 0:03:13.880 --> 0:03:15.320 to the point where like I've had some of my 0:03:15.480 --> 0:03:18.320 videos taken down because in the background of the videos, 0:03:18.360 --> 0:03:21.440 like a Drake song or something like that copyright, right. Yeah, 0:03:21.520 --> 0:03:23.160 so that part of it is fine whatever, But I 0:03:23.240 --> 0:03:25.200 just I don't know, just for me personally, it just 0:03:25.240 --> 0:03:27.320 doesn't seem like there's as much juice as maybe there 0:03:27.360 --> 0:03:28.200 was out Knock Snard. 0:03:28.440 --> 0:03:32.160 Not the juice. You're not missing juice, I think. I 0:03:32.200 --> 0:03:33.400 think you're right, I really do. 0:03:33.560 --> 0:03:36.880 And it's not like they're not getting quality work here, right, 0:03:36.920 --> 0:03:37.720 It's just not the. 0:03:37.600 --> 0:03:39.600 Same player seem to They're probably fine with that. I'm 0:03:39.600 --> 0:03:42.000 just saying from a spectator standpoint, from just a. 0:03:41.880 --> 0:03:44.200 Fan standpoint and watching it, I think they need to 0:03:44.200 --> 0:03:45.960 get like the drum line in there, you know, the 0:03:46.200 --> 0:03:48.080 rhythm and blues, get the drum line going. 0:03:48.200 --> 0:03:50.000 They maybe bring it up a little bit. I'm sure 0:03:50.000 --> 0:03:52.480 we could find a way to get that done. But yeah, 0:03:52.520 --> 0:03:53.960 it is. It is a little interesting. 0:03:54.000 --> 0:03:56.560 And of course they've got one more open practice today 0:03:56.640 --> 0:04:01.440 at one thirty Central time inside Forts, But I don't 0:04:01.600 --> 0:04:06.280 it's more so a walk through, right Nick. Yeah, it's 0:04:06.320 --> 0:04:09.280 not really even a get up and go padded practice. 0:04:09.280 --> 0:04:10.320 It's more of a walkthrough. 0:04:10.360 --> 0:04:13.000 So did you did you like listening to music a 0:04:13.080 --> 0:04:15.000 practice or would you rather just get down the business. 0:04:15.200 --> 0:04:17.120 I love the music and the reason and the reason 0:04:17.120 --> 0:04:19.839 why I believe most coaches opt to use music nowadays 0:04:19.880 --> 0:04:24.039 is because the crowd noise. So you become accustomed to 0:04:24.600 --> 0:04:27.560 working under those conditions. Whenever you're ever gonna play and 0:04:27.560 --> 0:04:30.520 it's gonna be quiet, it's not a thing. So making 0:04:30.560 --> 0:04:33.760 sure that you have noise, background, noise always constantly going on, 0:04:33.880 --> 0:04:35.960 and your ability to be able to think and still produce. 0:04:36.400 --> 0:04:38.479 I think that's the reason why most coaches go that round. 0:04:38.560 --> 0:04:39.799 So you wanted it as loud? 0:04:39.880 --> 0:04:40.600 Me turn it up. 0:04:40.760 --> 0:04:43.280 You know who loves Mike McCarthy arguably more than anyone 0:04:43.360 --> 0:04:45.839 on this planet. Those house owners right there in a. 0:04:47.480 --> 0:04:50.280 For sure songs and they're done. 0:04:50.720 --> 0:04:53.479 I'll tell you what that the forward center can can 0:04:53.520 --> 0:04:54.320 really turn it up. 0:04:54.360 --> 0:04:57.080 Oh, there's been some time during the season where before 0:04:57.120 --> 0:04:59.719 they let us in, uh to see a certain port 0:04:59.760 --> 0:05:02.400 up portion of practice, they'll have it the crowd noise 0:05:02.440 --> 0:05:04.200 cranked up, you know, and there's obviously not a fan 0:05:04.240 --> 0:05:06.600 in there, just the team, and it's amazing how loud 0:05:06.640 --> 0:05:08.159 that they can turn it up if they need to 0:05:08.160 --> 0:05:09.760 to make you feel like, you know, you're you know, 0:05:09.839 --> 0:05:11.919 to prepare you for a road environment. So I know 0:05:12.000 --> 0:05:13.920 what those speakers are capable of doing. And so maybe 0:05:13.960 --> 0:05:15.760 that's why I'm also a little disappointed they're not taking 0:05:15.760 --> 0:05:16.479 advantage of that. 0:05:16.480 --> 0:05:16.960 That's fair. 0:05:17.960 --> 0:05:20.600 That throws me back to like twenty twenty twenty one 0:05:20.640 --> 0:05:23.080 training camp, right when it was kind of covidly distant 0:05:23.120 --> 0:05:25.400 still and you kind of they were just cranking the 0:05:25.520 --> 0:05:27.320 crowd noise even though there really wasn't going to be 0:05:27.360 --> 0:05:29.480 a crowd in twenty twenty, but then twenty one, they 0:05:29.560 --> 0:05:31.680 knew there were going to be crowds, so they wanted 0:05:31.680 --> 0:05:33.120 to crank it and they wanted to push it. 0:05:34.000 --> 0:05:36.560 But that was that was such an odd time yosness. 0:05:36.680 --> 0:05:38.760 But were they allowed to pump in artificial noise in 0:05:38.800 --> 0:05:39.680 twenty twenty. 0:05:39.760 --> 0:05:41.840 In stadiums during games? 0:05:41.960 --> 0:05:42.200 Yes? 0:05:42.560 --> 0:05:45.560 No? No, okay, during practice you can do whatever. 0:05:45.720 --> 0:05:48.280 Yeah yeah, yeah, I was saying stadiums, yeah, deering. 0:05:48.680 --> 0:05:51.280 Right, I'm trying to think there was no artificial noise. 0:05:51.279 --> 0:05:51.680 There was. 0:05:51.720 --> 0:05:53.520 It might have been very very faint. 0:05:53.600 --> 0:05:55.400 Yeah, Chris Beam said there's not. 0:05:55.560 --> 0:05:56.120 So there you go. 0:05:57.120 --> 0:05:59.719 All right, based off of what you've seen in practices, 0:05:59.760 --> 0:06:02.520 you got's got the broadcast on Tuesday, Isaiah, what were 0:06:02.560 --> 0:06:04.159 some of the standouts and some of the things that 0:06:04.240 --> 0:06:07.440 you took away from when the Cowboys returned to Ford Center. 0:06:08.000 --> 0:06:09.960 I don't think there was anything that really stood out. 0:06:10.680 --> 0:06:12.240 It was just more the same. I mean, guys just 0:06:12.240 --> 0:06:14.240 continue to trying to get reps. I think paid a 0:06:14.240 --> 0:06:16.240 little bit more attention to the office line and kind 0:06:16.240 --> 0:06:18.080 of the Cupid shuffle us going on there for the 0:06:18.120 --> 0:06:20.800 second string guys and third string guys, trying to figure 0:06:20.839 --> 0:06:24.760 out who's gonna feel what roles should somebody ever you know, 0:06:24.839 --> 0:06:27.560 obviously cross your fingers, somebody have to step away from 0:06:27.560 --> 0:06:30.880 the game for a second for whatever reason. But I 0:06:30.920 --> 0:06:33.280 think just trying to see who's gonna really be those 0:06:33.320 --> 0:06:35.840 six seven to eight officeive linemen. That's really a lot 0:06:35.839 --> 0:06:39.480 of my question marks right now, aside from the linebacker position. 0:06:40.200 --> 0:06:43.840 Yeah, linebacker position, I mean Marquise Bell rotating down, kind 0:06:43.839 --> 0:06:45.960 of taking some snaps. They've used juan Ye Thomas in 0:06:46.000 --> 0:06:47.919 a couple different areas. John, what did you see in 0:06:48.000 --> 0:06:50.600 terms of how they're trying to adjust now that both 0:06:50.640 --> 0:06:52.000 Malik Jefferson and. 0:06:51.960 --> 0:06:53.680 Marvey and over shown are gonna miss some time. 0:06:53.839 --> 0:06:56.600 Yeah, you see more Marquise Bell trying to help out 0:06:56.600 --> 0:07:00.360 there a little bit more at linebacker, and that it's 0:07:00.400 --> 0:07:02.800 pretty obvious that Devin Harper and Jabril Cox are now 0:07:03.160 --> 0:07:05.800 you're they were the twos behind Deimone Clark and Leyton 0:07:05.880 --> 0:07:07.160 van Dersh. 0:07:07.279 --> 0:07:09.920 But even in that, I mean, I can't. 0:07:09.680 --> 0:07:11.720 Say that anything really stood out from there, and even 0:07:11.760 --> 0:07:14.040 in like individual plays, I'm just thinking of the last 0:07:14.040 --> 0:07:17.040 two days, Like there was the one go ball that 0:07:17.280 --> 0:07:19.480 Dak threw up on the right sideline to Brandon Cook's 0:07:19.640 --> 0:07:21.080 and it was a nice ball because he put him 0:07:21.080 --> 0:07:23.720 between Gilmour and jay Ron Curse, so it's you know, 0:07:23.760 --> 0:07:24.400 good on good. 0:07:24.440 --> 0:07:25.800 So those always stand out to me. 0:07:25.840 --> 0:07:27.840 And then there was the one where we don't get 0:07:27.840 --> 0:07:29.680 to see Dak with a ton of time, just because 0:07:29.680 --> 0:07:31.520 I always feel like in most of these when it's 0:07:31.560 --> 0:07:34.720 ones versus ones, it's either Lawrence or Parsons closing in. 0:07:34.760 --> 0:07:37.320 But he had some time yesterday and he had CD 0:07:37.440 --> 0:07:39.480 on that deep ball up near like where he actually 0:07:39.480 --> 0:07:41.680 had enough time to come across the field and hit 0:07:41.760 --> 0:07:43.160 him on the deep ball up on the left side. 0:07:43.200 --> 0:07:46.720 And then one other play was with Schoonmaker in the 0:07:46.760 --> 0:07:49.160 back of the end zone yesterday working with Greer, just 0:07:49.200 --> 0:07:51.280 a nice one handed grab And just getting a chance 0:07:51.280 --> 0:07:54.120 to talk to Schoonmaker the other day after practice, like 0:07:54.640 --> 0:07:56.840 says that there's not really any pain in the foot. 0:07:56.880 --> 0:07:59.440 He's been working out, trying to build up the strength around. 0:07:59.480 --> 0:08:02.920 It seems like he's in position to where he can contribute. 0:08:03.160 --> 0:08:05.240 And so for maybe people listening to this, that's not 0:08:05.280 --> 0:08:07.040 that big of a deal. But I think everyone has 0:08:07.040 --> 0:08:09.320 different perspectives and things, and I was kind of wondering, like, 0:08:09.400 --> 0:08:10.840 is this gonna be a thing where he just got 0:08:10.840 --> 0:08:13.680 to play through pain for a while. Is it ever 0:08:13.720 --> 0:08:17.160 going to come back to where he's fully healthy this season? 0:08:17.200 --> 0:08:18.560 Like how long is this gonna be a nagging thing 0:08:18.600 --> 0:08:20.160 that we're talking about all a year. So it seems 0:08:20.160 --> 0:08:22.480 like he's, you know, ascending, heading it, heading in the 0:08:22.520 --> 0:08:22.960 right direction. 0:08:22.960 --> 0:08:23.440 I guess yeah. 0:08:23.440 --> 0:08:26.520 He's really starting to set confidence too. They're integrating him 0:08:26.520 --> 0:08:28.840 more and more every day that passes. And even in 0:08:28.840 --> 0:08:31.280 this past preseason game, I think we may have touched 0:08:31.320 --> 0:08:33.800 on the last show, but designed third down plays to 0:08:33.840 --> 0:08:35.559 him where he's picking up the first down, even on 0:08:35.600 --> 0:08:37.600 the play that John Stevens got hurt. That was probably 0:08:37.640 --> 0:08:40.880 his biggest design towards him, and so they're definitely trying 0:08:40.880 --> 0:08:42.679 to integrate him as much as possible. But as far 0:08:42.679 --> 0:08:45.040 as like the last two days, yeah, that dack ball 0:08:45.040 --> 0:08:47.000 to Brandon Cooks definitely stood out. There was a play 0:08:47.000 --> 0:08:49.040 from I believe it was Cooper Rush to semi Fojoco 0:08:49.120 --> 0:08:52.400 down the left sideline oo joemyt yesterday that was big 0:08:52.440 --> 0:08:55.040 time and I think it's gonna be interesting going into 0:08:55.040 --> 0:08:58.080 this last week with the semi Fojoko, Jaln Brooks insert 0:08:58.160 --> 0:09:01.800 anyone else in that conversation as well. Battle and Will 0:09:01.840 --> 0:09:04.480 Greer said yesterday that Jalen Cropper's really starting to stuck 0:09:04.520 --> 0:09:06.920 some good days again after he started camp really strong, 0:09:06.960 --> 0:09:08.640 and I think he could have a big game on 0:09:08.679 --> 0:09:10.240 Saturday too, especially if Tulbert's out. 0:09:10.280 --> 0:09:12.479 I was a little surprised that they didn't give Aubrey 0:09:12.920 --> 0:09:15.600 any opportunities in like a Mojo moment thing with having 0:09:15.600 --> 0:09:17.000 some fans in the crowd and stuff like that. I 0:09:17.040 --> 0:09:18.719 just I don't know, he just hasn't had that many 0:09:18.720 --> 0:09:20.640 opportunities even in the games, you know, Like I think 0:09:20.640 --> 0:09:22.880 we had talked about at the end of the game 0:09:22.920 --> 0:09:24.920 in Seattle, he had a chance. They could have probably 0:09:24.960 --> 0:09:26.880 brought him out for a forty five yard field goal. 0:09:26.960 --> 0:09:27.880 YEP. I don't know. 0:09:27.920 --> 0:09:29.599 They might just feel a lot more comfortable about the 0:09:29.640 --> 0:09:31.920 situation than maybe I do and some fans do. But 0:09:31.960 --> 0:09:33.679 I thought during one of those mojo moments the last 0:09:33.679 --> 0:09:35.840 few days, because they've had the fans, I was thinking like, 0:09:36.080 --> 0:09:37.760 maybe they would try and get the fans get loud 0:09:37.800 --> 0:09:39.680 and put them in a pressure type situation. 0:09:39.840 --> 0:09:41.720 I know we were sitting in the booth on Tuesday 0:09:41.800 --> 0:09:43.839 and they were in the middle of a mojo moment 0:09:43.840 --> 0:09:45.880 and it was thunder thunder, thunder, and they were running 0:09:45.880 --> 0:09:47.959 on the field and it was kind of the rush deal, 0:09:48.360 --> 0:09:49.800 and I thought they would do it a couple times. 0:09:49.920 --> 0:09:51.480 They did it once. Yeah, he knocked it. 0:09:51.400 --> 0:09:53.320 Through, but it was like a twenty nine versus a 0:09:53.360 --> 0:09:56.400 super short field goal, and the crowd really didn't get 0:09:56.400 --> 0:09:58.560 into it a whole lot. At that point, I was 0:09:58.600 --> 0:10:00.920 saying to Nick and Booth, I was like, Man, if 0:10:00.920 --> 0:10:03.240 I'm jog Fossil and I've got the microphone and the 0:10:03.240 --> 0:10:05.800 head headset put up, I'm trying to get the crowd 0:10:05.880 --> 0:10:08.800 hype before every snap all right, guys, like you've got 0:10:09.000 --> 0:10:10.600 six thousand in the building. 0:10:10.679 --> 0:10:12.080 All you got to do is put on the right song. 0:10:12.120 --> 0:10:13.400 Come on, everybody will get it. 0:10:13.520 --> 0:10:14.559 Get into it a little. 0:10:14.360 --> 0:10:15.760 Bit if you want to do that, or now, song 0:10:15.760 --> 0:10:18.000 are you putting on? Don't move me on this spot, 0:10:20.200 --> 0:10:21.160 let me get back, get back. 0:10:21.480 --> 0:10:23.319 All right, Well, we'll think about it. We'll start the 0:10:23.360 --> 0:10:23.920 second segment. 0:10:24.000 --> 0:10:25.319 It might be different for me than it will be 0:10:25.360 --> 0:10:25.960 for other people. 0:10:26.960 --> 0:10:30.760 It's Mumford and Sons. No, it's a fast card by 0:10:30.840 --> 0:10:34.320 Luke Combs. That's what's coming on. That's Isaiah's playlist. So 0:10:34.880 --> 0:10:37.920 we've we've heard a couple different times offensive line, and 0:10:37.920 --> 0:10:39.920 we've talked a lot about the offensive line on this show, 0:10:39.920 --> 0:10:41.120 whether it was out an ox narder. 0:10:41.240 --> 0:10:42.080 Now that we're back here in. 0:10:42.080 --> 0:10:45.400 Frisco and you've talked about the revolving door and the 0:10:45.480 --> 0:10:49.199 lack of continuity, and it continues to kind of show itself. 0:10:49.640 --> 0:10:52.120 Tuesday was a rough practice for the offensive line. 0:10:52.120 --> 0:10:55.400 It felt like every play, to John's point earlier, it 0:10:55.440 --> 0:10:59.000 was DeMarcus Lawrence, it was Sam Williams, it was Michael 0:10:59.000 --> 0:11:01.720 Parsons getting in the backfield, and Dak Prescott was under 0:11:01.720 --> 0:11:03.680 pressure constantly. 0:11:03.520 --> 0:11:05.880 Yesterday it felt like they took a step forward a 0:11:05.880 --> 0:11:06.319 little bit. 0:11:06.440 --> 0:11:09.840 Is that encouraging enough, Nick to where you can say, 0:11:09.960 --> 0:11:12.080 I know it's only one practice, but you're seeing a 0:11:12.080 --> 0:11:14.520 bit of improvement even with the extra reps that have 0:11:14.520 --> 0:11:15.080 been added in. 0:11:15.280 --> 0:11:18.120 Yeah, but I need to see consistency. That's the biggest thing. 0:11:18.160 --> 0:11:19.960 Like one good day does nothing for me. It doesn't 0:11:20.000 --> 0:11:22.080 matter who you are, if you're Michael Parsons or Josh 0:11:22.120 --> 0:11:25.480 Ball or whoever on this roster, you gotta stack good 0:11:25.559 --> 0:11:28.640 days because when you need a reliable offensive line option, 0:11:28.840 --> 0:11:31.680 whenever that problem or issue does a rise during the season, 0:11:31.840 --> 0:11:35.319 then you need consistency. You need that reliability. I think 0:11:35.360 --> 0:11:38.080 there are there are a couple of intriguing options right now, 0:11:38.880 --> 0:11:41.120 especially if we can get through at least ten weeks 0:11:41.160 --> 0:11:43.960 before having to really tap into that depth. That's a 0:11:44.040 --> 0:11:46.400 long time. That's the goal I'm shooting for. I know, 0:11:46.440 --> 0:11:47.800 I know it's a long time. That's the goal I'm 0:11:47.800 --> 0:11:50.160 shooting for, though, And I because I think by that time, 0:11:50.520 --> 0:11:54.720 rookie Austin Richards he'll have completely settled in by that point, 0:11:54.720 --> 0:11:56.480 whether he can come in at left tack or left 0:11:56.480 --> 0:11:57.760 guard TJ. 0:11:57.880 --> 0:11:58.160 Bass. 0:11:58.200 --> 0:11:59.680 I know we were talking about it, and we'll probably 0:11:59.679 --> 0:12:02.880 talk about it more on Monday. I think he's very 0:12:02.880 --> 0:12:05.240 close to making this team, and if he can stack 0:12:05.280 --> 0:12:07.640 good confidence, then you know, maybe there's a right guard 0:12:07.640 --> 0:12:10.280 option there as well. And then you got guys like 0:12:10.400 --> 0:12:13.520 will let's go farnioc. I think those guys just need 0:12:13.559 --> 0:12:16.360 time this year, get back used to playing with their 0:12:16.400 --> 0:12:19.840 guys and rotating in when they can. But I don't 0:12:19.840 --> 0:12:22.800 feel great about the consistency or reliability right now, even 0:12:22.840 --> 0:12:24.240 if they did have a good day yesterday. 0:12:24.440 --> 0:12:27.120 Yeah, I don't like the fact that none of us 0:12:27.120 --> 0:12:29.520 can sit here right now and say who number six 0:12:29.600 --> 0:12:29.960 should be? 0:12:30.760 --> 0:12:33.959 Yeah, who would your number six be? Depends on who 0:12:34.000 --> 0:12:34.440 goes down? 0:12:34.600 --> 0:12:36.920 Well, right now, right now, who's your number six? 0:12:37.000 --> 0:12:38.480 I mean what I'm saying, it depends on who goes down. 0:12:38.520 --> 0:12:41.160 If I mean, if we're at the tackle position, then 0:12:41.160 --> 0:12:43.240 you're back to shuffling chairs around. 0:12:43.520 --> 0:12:45.920 My question would be, if left tackle goes down, then 0:12:46.200 --> 0:12:47.720 Tyler out and put in the left guard or who 0:12:47.720 --> 0:12:48.600 do you put it? Left tackle? 0:12:48.720 --> 0:12:50.720 Yeah, you have to put bump Tyler out. I mean, 0:12:50.760 --> 0:12:51.880 that's that's automatic. 0:12:52.000 --> 0:12:52.440 That's what I mean. 0:12:52.559 --> 0:12:53.080 It's gotta be. 0:12:53.200 --> 0:12:56.040 Yeah, now you're back to the musical chairs. So yeah, 0:12:56.040 --> 0:12:59.080 bump Tyler Tyler Smith out and then you're inserting who 0:12:59.120 --> 0:13:03.079 farnioc yeah bad, like Richard slide him down. I mean 0:13:03.120 --> 0:13:05.319 like you don't know, and like I'm saying, because you 0:13:05.360 --> 0:13:07.880 don't know, I got the bubble guts. 0:13:08.559 --> 0:13:10.040 I don't eve think my number six on this is 0:13:10.040 --> 0:13:10.839 on the team right now. 0:13:11.200 --> 0:13:14.400 Yeah, and now when I'm gonna say this name, I'm 0:13:14.400 --> 0:13:16.600 not saying this player don't do it. And I'm not 0:13:16.720 --> 0:13:19.480 saying that the return on investment they got from this player, 0:13:19.480 --> 0:13:21.560 but I'm saying something along the lines of how they 0:13:21.559 --> 0:13:25.360 went and got Jason Peters. But I'm not saying Jason 0:13:25.360 --> 0:13:27.240 Peters isn't coming back. I'm not saying that, But I'm 0:13:27.240 --> 0:13:30.400 saying that getting a player from another team that you're like, hey, 0:13:30.840 --> 0:13:32.520 you had been a starter in the league for this 0:13:32.640 --> 0:13:33.319 amount of time. 0:13:34.120 --> 0:13:35.320 We need you to be our swing. 0:13:35.160 --> 0:13:35.800 Task sure thing. 0:13:35.920 --> 0:13:37.280 You know that's the type of thing. 0:13:37.360 --> 0:13:39.559 Sure thing? Yeah, a sure thing, something that you could 0:13:39.600 --> 0:13:40.200 rest your head on. 0:13:40.360 --> 0:13:42.320 You're not completely satisfied with it, but you're like, you 0:13:42.360 --> 0:13:44.640 know what, at least I know he knows what he's doing, 0:13:44.880 --> 0:13:47.840 and I know that he's capable of handling the opposition. 0:13:48.559 --> 0:13:50.640 I don't feel as if any of us at this 0:13:50.679 --> 0:13:52.360 table right now feel like we can put our finger 0:13:52.400 --> 0:13:54.680 on anybody right now in the backup, in a backup 0:13:54.760 --> 0:13:56.760 role that can step into the fold. If something happened 0:13:56.800 --> 0:13:58.800 at practice today, we would all be sitting up here like, 0:13:58.840 --> 0:13:59.600 oh crap. 0:13:59.360 --> 0:14:00.439 I'll tell you my player is. 0:14:00.440 --> 0:14:02.160 If we're gonna talk about somebody that's not on the roster, 0:14:02.720 --> 0:14:04.760 it's like somebody that was at training camp for a 0:14:04.840 --> 0:14:06.520 day and I know he doesn't want to come back. 0:14:06.559 --> 0:14:08.720 But is Andrew Whitworth because he has that. 0:14:10.360 --> 0:14:12.160 He could easily be a guy that comes in and 0:14:12.160 --> 0:14:14.040 you're not asking him to like play right away. But 0:14:14.080 --> 0:14:15.719 he even said when we're out there talking to the 0:14:15.720 --> 0:14:17.600 one day that yeah, that ship's kind of sailed because 0:14:17.600 --> 0:14:19.320 he promised his family, like after they won the Super 0:14:19.360 --> 0:14:21.400 Bowl with the Rams, he was done. There's actually a 0:14:21.440 --> 0:14:23.880 really cool NFL Films video of him with his kids 0:14:23.920 --> 0:14:24.480 around him. 0:14:24.680 --> 0:14:26.760 Yeah after the game over time him like Daddy's gonna 0:14:26.760 --> 0:14:27.560 be around or whatever like that. 0:14:27.600 --> 0:14:29.720 But when I saw him ou at practice, I was like, man, 0:14:29.760 --> 0:14:31.880 that's the perfect guy that you come in and be like, hey, Andrew, 0:14:31.920 --> 0:14:34.040 we're not asking you to start. We just need you 0:14:34.080 --> 0:14:36.360 to possibly be the swing tackle. And if something goes. 0:14:36.240 --> 0:14:39.000 Wrong with you, drinks like rifle coffee cover. Yeah, and 0:14:39.040 --> 0:14:40.680 when we need you, we'll call you on it will 0:14:40.720 --> 0:14:40.960 make h. 0:14:41.040 --> 0:14:41.600 Make it happen. 0:14:41.600 --> 0:14:43.080 In front office is going to call and be like, hey, 0:14:43.120 --> 0:14:44.520 it's a three way with Tom Brady, why don't you 0:14:44.560 --> 0:14:44.880 talk to him? 0:14:45.280 --> 0:14:45.360 Hit? 0:14:47.000 --> 0:14:47.280 Uh. 0:14:47.320 --> 0:14:50.000 Some of the guys that are available, I guess at tackle, 0:14:50.040 --> 0:14:51.920 and I'm talking about veterans that have been starters in 0:14:51.960 --> 0:14:56.120 the league. Juwan James, who was in Baltimore most recently. 0:14:56.160 --> 0:14:58.760 He's thirty one years old. Eric Fisher's still out there. 0:14:58.800 --> 0:15:00.960 He was not last with Miami. I mean he's thirty two. 0:15:02.600 --> 0:15:03.200 Justin Pugh. 0:15:03.280 --> 0:15:04.480 He was more of a guard though. 0:15:05.080 --> 0:15:07.280 Taylor Lewan, I don't even know if that's how you 0:15:07.280 --> 0:15:09.680 say his last name, thirty two years old out of Tennessee. 0:15:10.000 --> 0:15:12.800 I mean there's guys there. I mean, none of them 0:15:12.840 --> 0:15:15.200 are gonna move the needle from an offensive line standpoint. 0:15:15.240 --> 0:15:17.880 But if you want a veteran tackle, somebody that could 0:15:17.880 --> 0:15:19.560 come in and at least give you some sort of 0:15:19.640 --> 0:15:23.360 ease of mind and some sort of stability, then maybe 0:15:23.360 --> 0:15:24.600 you go and get some of those guys. I mean, 0:15:24.640 --> 0:15:26.720 you went and signed forty year old Jason Peters last year. 0:15:26.760 --> 0:15:28.560 I guess he was thirty nine, but he was turning 0:15:28.600 --> 0:15:30.600
