Speaker 2: to report that the Star and Frisco survived the elements
Speaker 2: last night.
Speaker 3: Did everybody survive?
Speaker 4: We did? Everybody's fine. I love it.
Speaker 2: My show on CBS eleven did not survive.
Speaker 4: I wis.
Speaker 2: Because it was all weather.
Speaker 4: Okay, yeah, from nine.
Speaker 2: Actually we had the Tony Awards until ten after ten,
Speaker 2: and I went to the weather people at seven o'clock
Speaker 2: and I said, do I need to put this show
Speaker 2: together because it takes believe it or not, it takes
Speaker 2: three hours or so the right and produce the home show.
Speaker 2: And I'm like, okay, I'm looking at the forecast and
Speaker 2: I can see it's going to be bearing down on
Speaker 2: Dallas or starting at ten o'clock.
Speaker 4: Is there any the clouds are coming on the radar
Speaker 4: you can't miss.
Speaker 2: I mean there's two systems that are just coming from
Speaker 2: the west, and the red and green and even at
Speaker 2: seven o'clock just got blown off the map. Now there's
Speaker 2: no way people want to hear how the Rangers.
Speaker 4: Lied blue on the map.
Speaker 3: Yeahs blue blue was eighty mile an hour.
Speaker 4: Wow, yeah, I know.
Speaker 2: And then weather, okay, and so the weather, oh no,
Speaker 2: I can't tell you for sure, we don't know. It
Speaker 2: hasn't really formed yet. So I two and a half
Speaker 2: hours later, I write the entire show and it's nine
Speaker 2: thirty whatever, and then it's like a never before uttered
Speaker 2: phrase from the National Weather Surface potential one hundred mile
Speaker 2: per hour winds, and even the competitor, Pete Delkis said that, Well,
Speaker 2: I don't believe I've ever heard him say that before.
Speaker 2: And we still had to stable ten fifty last night.
Speaker 4: Pete has too good of a time during weather. Okay,
Speaker 4: that's his problem. He has too good of a time.
Speaker 3: I was already counting how many trees were they were
Speaker 3: going to fall.
Speaker 2: In my backyard. Well, and then I was able to
Speaker 2: get out of there before the next system hit from
Speaker 2: the west that was blowing Alito off the map, and
Speaker 2: it was barely a drizzle driving home and it was
Speaker 2: no problem.
Speaker 3: Well, I saw someone called in and reported that they
Speaker 3: were and it's just somebody right that we're getting one
Speaker 3: to two inches of rain an hour, and I'm going
Speaker 3: it hasn't rained here for an hour yet.
Speaker 4: So where you live north of Flower Mount and sounds
Speaker 4: like so, see those are the white flight you know,
Speaker 4: nobody is. I know, it was just some good rain.
Speaker 4: You know, we just had a nice rain.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's he's like an attorney. He knew the answers
Speaker 2: to the Christ.
Speaker 3: Yeah, just to deliver his life.
Speaker 4: Guys out there. Weather has no forgiveness out there. Okay,
Speaker 4: in the city. You know, every time you see the
Speaker 4: clouds coming and it starts going towards the city, it
Speaker 4: dissipates just a little bit because there's human life there.
Speaker 4: There's a lot of life.
Speaker 2: You know that there is something truth, no doubt that
Speaker 2: you got west.
Speaker 4: There's no interference, and it just.
Speaker 2: Blows seriously in West Texas. I mean it just blows.
Speaker 2: That's why there's nothing in West Texas. Everything's been blown
Speaker 2: off the map out there. But it's something about civilization
Speaker 2: that makes him dissiplate just a little bit.
Speaker 4: Try just a little bit. You can see it as
Speaker 4: it gets towards the city.
Speaker 2: It just yeah, it's a little dark to breaking apart.
Speaker 4: So you guys have a good time about it. I
Speaker 4: was mainly.
Speaker 2: Concerned about hell Down.
Speaker 3: We have fifty six houses in our Yeah, that's.
Speaker 4: What you were about out there, too, was hell Down.
Speaker 2: I wanted to get and I had my map. I
Speaker 2: had it all mapped out. Northeast Mall has a parking
Speaker 2: garage on the way home. I was going to park
Speaker 2: here and wait it out at the parking garage. Didn't
Speaker 2: have to do it all right, So now, enough about
Speaker 2: what happened last night. Enough about last night. Now it's
Speaker 2: a beautiful day.
Speaker 3: It is for now. You're at the Star and Fir
Speaker 3: until it starts ringing again tomorrow for the mini camp.
Speaker 2: Will probably be in there indoors. Well, there's a beautiful
Speaker 2: Ford Center that they can go into for the minute.
Speaker 3: And I think graduations are done, so that's out of
Speaker 3: the way. There's no excuse.
Speaker 2: I mean, get a load of this. It is now
Speaker 2: less than six weeks away from the Cowboys getting on
Speaker 2: that big jet plane and flying out to Oxnard, California.
Speaker 2: Just to put it in perspective, it's six weeks time
Speaker 2: from this past year. From January first until when the
Speaker 2: Super Bowl was played was six weeks time this year,
Speaker 2: and so we're basically at We just have a playoff
Speaker 2: season to get before before we're starting training camp on
Speaker 2: the July twentieth.
Speaker 3: So will you be here tomorrow? Since it's mandatory to
Speaker 3: take attendance.
Speaker 2: I take everyone should be right.
Speaker 3: Take attendance.
Speaker 2: Uh huh?
Speaker 3: And does that mean the two guys that haven't been
Speaker 3: here will be here?
Speaker 2: I know one of them will be. You do, I
Speaker 2: don't know? Okay, you're going to put money on it. Yeah,
Speaker 2: he said he'd be here. Well, how many he's going
Speaker 2: He's going to be here, yeah, michaeh yeah, Micah here.
Speaker 2: He said he's never missed a mandatory many.
Speaker 3: Well, he was here last week. He just showed up
Speaker 3: in the locker room when it was when everything was
Speaker 3: done out on the field.
Speaker 4: So so he may he may be here, but not
Speaker 4: to participate. He was.
Speaker 3: He was here for media day obligation, and then he
Speaker 3: walked in the locker room when everybody was dismissed, missed it.
Speaker 2: Oh you want to be in there with Oka. I mean,
Speaker 2: he's a veteran, right, we all understand this. When Mickey talks,
Speaker 2: he's talking in terms of the mess.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And so whenever when he says when everyone was dismissed,
Speaker 2: that's when the media was dismissed from the locker room,
Speaker 2: That's when Michael walked.
Speaker 4: You have to clarify because.
Speaker 3: I was the last one of us to be important people.
Speaker 4: That's right.
Speaker 3: So we'll see on that one. And then Trayvon Diggs,
Speaker 3: I guess he told them he'd be here.
Speaker 4: Way. Vicky said that Vicky found very passive mission, very passive.
Speaker 3: The guy had a serious knee surgery, right, something I've
Speaker 3: never heard of before, Crondall tissue graph, meaning they took
Speaker 3: a piece of bone in cartilage and transplaneted into a
Speaker 3: divot in his knee. So it was explained to me, like,
Speaker 3: you know, you have potholes on the street, Yeah, and
Speaker 3: we fill it in with tar. Well, that's what this is,
Speaker 3: real gag, right, and to me that sounds pretty serious.
Speaker 4: Well, hell, you're looking at two of the weirdest injuries
Speaker 4: from your quarterback and you're starting cornerback. Right, I've never
Speaker 4: heard of either one of these injuries or surgeries before.
Speaker 3: Well the quarterbacks here, yeah, rehabby Yeah.
Speaker 4: I was really speaking on them. Yes, uniqueness, Yes, of
Speaker 4: the injuries themselves.
Speaker 3: The other guy did it on his own. And I
Speaker 3: also was told a couple of weeks ago I almost
Speaker 3: forgot about it that if he didn't take part in
Speaker 3: eighty four percent of the off season workouts, he would
Speaker 3: have a five hundred thousand dollars base salary de escalate.
Speaker 3: So to you tell me, if you had a chance
Speaker 3: at five hundred not to lose five hundred thousand, but
Speaker 3: you have to show up for off season workouts.
Speaker 4: Now, does that include injuries when you're talking about coming
Speaker 4: off of surgery. When they put that in, did that include.
Speaker 3: No, the rehab. I guess it's stipulated that if you're
Speaker 3: doing rehab, it had to be under the jurisdiction of
Speaker 3: the head trainer. Oh okay, Now I don't know if
Speaker 3: that includes monitory from the fire and look, as we
Speaker 3: all need.
Speaker 4: He could just be doing everything on on YouTube or whatever,
Speaker 4: or just sending it.
Speaker 3: And sending it in. Yeah, well they're monitored live.
Speaker 4: It would be monitored live. Well, and hey, I'm just
Speaker 4: Devil's advocate here. Yeah, we'll find out. Yeah, we will.
Speaker 5: And And.
Speaker 3: In my mind, if I'm working for you and you
Speaker 3: tell me I need to do this and I'm not here,
Speaker 3: I probably get rated out right. But if I'm paying
Speaker 3: you to rehab me and I wake up on Monday
Speaker 3: morning going, you know, I I think I'll take today off,
Speaker 3: what are you going to say? Yeah, okay, well you're
Speaker 3: paying me, I'm not going to create. No, You've got
Speaker 3: to be here. So that's the thing that I think
Speaker 3: you would be concerned about. So we'll see what kind
Speaker 3: of situation he's in when they get a chance to
Speaker 3: look at him.
Speaker 4: And once again, we're not sure if he's showing up.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he said he was, and it's mandatory and they
Speaker 3: have the right to find you. Did you ever get
Speaker 3: fined for missing the workout?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Yeah. Were you pleased?
Speaker 4: Well no, I just you know, it all came down
Speaker 4: to it when we renegotiated. It all came out in
Speaker 4: the West.
Speaker 3: So it had to do with contracts. Same thing as
Speaker 3: Mike exactly. The players hold other guys like if you
Speaker 3: see a guy missing, I'm out here working.
Speaker 4: I hope not. I never much participated in offseason at all.
Speaker 4: I tried to stick with the that made me, that
Speaker 4: help helped me develop through Grambling and you know, on
Speaker 4: the league.
Speaker 3: But your reasons were different than these offseasons.
Speaker 4: Well, yeah they weren't. They weren't mandatory at all.
Speaker 3: None of them.
Speaker 4: No, none of them mandatory. I don't think you had
Speaker 4: to work out one bit. I only had twelve workouts
Speaker 4: aalibn eligible or forty five. But they offered it incentives
Speaker 4: if you did make them all. I remember Bob Brunnick
Speaker 4: and and Ron Springs were going for first place. I
Speaker 4: think it was nineteen eighty three, and Ron was upset
Speaker 4: because they gave the watch. They was going to get
Speaker 4: this Rolex watch. They gave it to Bob Brunick and
Speaker 4: they didn't give it to him. So Ron was favoritism
Speaker 4: towards Bob Ward and Bob Brunnick. So he never let
Speaker 4: him forget that. He never because Ron was a stud.
Speaker 4: As we know, he was a heck of an athlete
Speaker 4: and he believed in working out. And yeah, as far
Speaker 4: as I was concerned, I think I had twelve my
Speaker 4: rookie year because I didn't want to go there and
Speaker 4: start doing all of these corners. They're doing clean and
Speaker 4: jerks and all this kind of stuff that's I don't
Speaker 4: know if I could cover with that kind of bulk
Speaker 4: on me. That that was my mindset by not going
Speaker 4: to camp. I remember worked out, Okay.
Speaker 3: I remember interviewing D. D Lewis and I said, I
Speaker 3: asked him because somehow in the interview it came up
Speaker 3: about off season workouts, and I said, so did you
Speaker 3: work out off season? He goes, yeah, man, he goes,
Speaker 3: I got in the swimming pool and I did twelve
Speaker 3: ounce curls.
Speaker 4: And see guys like that, they kind of you know,
Speaker 4: I felt better about not going because I knew some
Speaker 4: of the veterans like d D. And of course now
Speaker 4: d D was going out, I was coming in. I
Speaker 4: get that. You know. It didn't help. It didn't help
Speaker 4: as far as my motivation was concerned.
Speaker 2: And people didn't get hurt as much back then, they
Speaker 2: really didn't.
Speaker 4: That's when the off season was. We would rest in
Speaker 4: the off season. I say we, I mean most players.
Speaker 4: I didn't. I was a little bit young once again
Speaker 4: younger at the time. I was still doing a lot
Speaker 4: of stuff and that's how I worked out. Tennis, swimming, boxing,
Speaker 4: I was doing a lot of stuff that keeps you
Speaker 4: in shape. As far as covering somebody, I just wanted
Speaker 4: to go out there and cover I could. I could cover.
Speaker 4: I don't know about coming up and lifting Bill off
Speaker 4: the ground or anything, but I could cover Bill, and
Speaker 4: so that's all that mattered to me.
Speaker 2: It's hard to pull a muscle if you don't have
Speaker 2: a muscle.
Speaker 4: That is a very good point. Also, never really ran track.
Speaker 4: My body really wasn't that developed. I guess I think
Speaker 4: it was a late blump because all the guys round Fellows,
Speaker 4: Michael Downs, all of them did the work out. Man,
Speaker 4: I pulled my hamstring. I never had to pull a
Speaker 4: hamstring in my life. So you know, when you're runner
Speaker 4: four to seven, it has its advantages.
Speaker 3: Let me just say that your body doesn't say, hey,
Speaker 3: what do you do?
Speaker 4: I never you know, I just start stretching until I
Speaker 4: was two nine years old. So yeah, that was just
Speaker 4: the way it was.
Speaker 2: Do you still stretch?
Speaker 4: I have to stretch now, I'm a stretch free now. Yeah,
Speaker 4: you just have to be once I and you know
Speaker 4: Jimmy was here. It was in eighty nine, went bit
Speaker 4: down to cover somebody in my back, Like, whoa, you
Speaker 4: haven't stretched all your life.
Speaker 2: So next thing you know, there was an age twenty nine.
Speaker 4: Age twenty nine. Okay. See.
Speaker 3: The other thing that that Digs should be invested in
Speaker 3: is he he has for when he re signed his
Speaker 3: new deal. Each year he has a per game.
Speaker 4: Bonus.
Speaker 3: I think it's fifty eight right around fifty eight thousand games.
Speaker 3: So last year, when he only played eleven games, his
Speaker 3: bonus was in the six hundred thousand range. It's worth
Speaker 3: if you play every game, one million dollars. So there's
Speaker 3: a good chance this year. I mean, he may not
Speaker 3: be ready to start the season, but I sure as hell.
Speaker 4: And no one's giving us a progress.
Speaker 3: Well, we'll get a better one, I think this week.
Speaker 4: Okay, But do you think that they have a Probably.
Speaker 3: Think they in their mind since they don't know much
Speaker 3: about him, and if he doesn't stay here, then he's
Speaker 3: going to start training camp on pup, you know, just
Speaker 3: so now we can work with you and see where
Speaker 3: you're at.
Speaker 4: You think they have no idea where he is, right?
Speaker 3: I think they have an idea because I in Miami.
Speaker 3: They've been in contact with the people that he's working
Speaker 3: out with, and I heard they respect it. But he's
Speaker 3: got incentives, like did you have interception incentives in your contract? Man?
Speaker 2: I wish they knew better would be sitting here at well, here.
Speaker 3: Are his Okay, for five interceptions, it's worth three hundred thousand,
Speaker 3: and if you have seven interceptions, it's six hundred thousand.
Speaker 3: Not cumative like you get paid for five and seven,
Speaker 3: but seven hundred thousand, I mean six six hundred thousand
Speaker 3: for seven picks.
Speaker 2: And what was his penalty for not being here this offseason?
Speaker 2: Five hundred thousand you said, could be dscal He just
Speaker 2: makes that up getting.
Speaker 3: But you got to play to get right, you got
Speaker 3: to play now. The good thing is nine million dollar
Speaker 3: base salary is guaranteed.
Speaker 4: Now as you bring that up, though, now we've got
Speaker 4: another cornerback out there right from the Packers.
Speaker 2: Not to go about to bring up, but JayR Alexander
Speaker 2: is not official yet, but he is ardedly going to
Speaker 2: be released, which brings us with even without talking about him,
Speaker 2: when you look at the cornerback roster, yes, this Cowboys,
Speaker 2: and you go back through even last year, and we
Speaker 2: know the injury issues that the cornerbacks have coming into
Speaker 2: this year, but even going back to last year, Trayvon
Speaker 2: played eleven games last year, Duran Bland seven games last year,
Speaker 2: Kyer Elam who of course came over in the trade
Speaker 2: from Buffalo, thirteen games, four starts for Buffalo last year,
Speaker 2: Kayln Carson six games, five starts last year, Josh Butler
Speaker 2: coming off his acl at three starts last year, Andrew
Speaker 2: Booth seven games, two starts. Revel played what four games
Speaker 2: last year year, three games last year at East Carolina.
Speaker 2: And so there's your basically your cornerback inventory right now.
Speaker 3: And those are the guys here, and there's guys that
Speaker 3: aren't here that played had starts last year.
Speaker 2: At cornerback O eight yeah, but they have here, yes,
Speaker 2: and looking at okay, who's playing cornerback this season? How
Speaker 2: healthy is this team? Look at track recent track history,
Speaker 2: and is there a need to bring in another cornerback?
Speaker 3: And we can point out that Jordan Lewis isn't here
Speaker 3: this year.
Speaker 4: And before the meet and Greek that we had last week,
Speaker 4: you know, I thought we were of the understanding that
Speaker 4: we probably will need another cornerback. We were talking about Gilmore,
Speaker 4: who's familiar with the system. But when you have a
Speaker 4: player like, uh, what's how he say his name?
Speaker 2: Kaya the Kyerli now Kayer?
Speaker 3: No, you mean.
Speaker 4: Alexander Alexander year JayR Alexander. The guy's got a pretty
Speaker 4: good resume.
Speaker 2: Uh oh yeah, okay, So but but you talk about it,
Speaker 2: you talk about an injury history. Yeah, he's got an
Speaker 2: injury history. He's basically he's played thirty two games his
Speaker 2: last four years.
Speaker 3: Fourteen, the last thirty four right, and his salary this
Speaker 3: year was going to be sixteen point five minutes.
Speaker 4: It was, so there was and that's why he did
Speaker 4: the trade. Didn't know trades what happened because I wanted.
Speaker 3: To play at that right, And so the Packers went
Speaker 3: to him and tried to say, Okay, we're gonna let's renegotiate,
Speaker 3: and no, I'll get that in free agency. So June
Speaker 3: ninth team's salary caps are pretty much usually spoken for interesting.
Speaker 2: And especially he's a guy that last year seven games
Speaker 2: PCL injury. The year before in twenty twenty three, he
Speaker 2: played seven games. Now he did, he did play.
Speaker 3: It suspended one game. Do you remember that he got suspended.
Speaker 3: So he's from North Carolina and they were playing at
Speaker 3: Carolina and he basically named himself captain and walked out
Speaker 3: for the coin toss and wait, he called tails. I
Speaker 3: just read it. And he won the toss and he
Speaker 3: said we're going to play defense, and the referee said,
Speaker 3: now are you saying you're deferring? And I guess somebody
Speaker 3: started yelling like no, if we play defense, they get
Speaker 3: the choice in the second half. And they avoided that.
Speaker 3: So they suspended him one game.
Speaker 2: I mean they avoided that.
Speaker 4: They they.
Speaker 2: They were able to correct it on the field.
Speaker 3: The red it was a redo.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like, no, he doesn't have he hasn't been
Speaker 2: given the authority to me the call. He named himself
Speaker 2: a captain.
Speaker 4: See bring that guy here, he's fun.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 2: We already brought fun guys.
Speaker 3: I saw two headache guys get arrested this weekend. Who
Speaker 3: was that pac Man Jones?
Speaker 2: And I didn't see that one.
Speaker 3: Kelvin Joselvin Joseph gotten a fatal car accident.
Speaker 2: Here I heard kell and Kelvin Joseph, by the way,
Speaker 2: is playing for the United Football League. This happened on
Speaker 2: Friday night. Yes, they had a game yesterday that he
Speaker 2: se defenders and it happened at like five o'clock in
Speaker 2: the morning. Yeah, yeah, to the Super Bowl, Derek the
Speaker 2: Actually they won their game yesterday and so now they're
Speaker 2: playing in the UFL Super Bowl on Saturday night.
Speaker 3: Somebody finally did so.
Speaker 2: But here here's he's playing and trying to salvage his
Speaker 2: career and the way, yeah they they the whole league
Speaker 2: is based here throughout the spring. But okay, so he's
Speaker 2: out at five o'clock in the morning the night before
Speaker 2: the team is flying to I think they played in Birmingham. Yeah,
Speaker 2: and oh they played in Saint Louis. Okay, okay, so
Speaker 2: some Michigan played at Birmingham.
Speaker 3: Somebody only beat Birmingham.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Michigan, Michigan.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: By the way, their quarterback, Bryce Perkins. And I just
Speaker 2: read this this morning. He is the nephew of Don Perkins.
Speaker 2: Really yeah wow. Bryce Perkins, quarterback of the Michigan Panthers,
Speaker 2: played at Arizona State. No, I remember Chandler Arizona. Yeah,
Speaker 2: and he went to Arizona State. And I can't remember
Speaker 2: where he wound up, but anyway, uh, and he was
Speaker 2: with the Rams. Actually have started some games with the Rams.
Speaker 2: Now he's twenty eight years old and this year is
Speaker 2: all UFL quarterback. Keep an eye on him on Saturday
Speaker 2: night if you got nothing else to do, and you
Speaker 2: watch the UFL Championship.
Speaker 3: If you need a fourth quarterback on the roster.
Speaker 2: You know what I was sitting there looking at with
Speaker 2: the Cowboys situation with three quarterbacks, okay, and the Cowboys
Speaker 2: history of plucking players out of the either the USFL
Speaker 2: or the UFL who have become Pro Bowl players. Maybe
Speaker 2: they're looking out a quarterback in the UFL to fill
Speaker 2: out this.
Speaker 3: And what better story could you provide us?
Speaker 2: Then Don Perkins.
Speaker 4: Very cool nephew would be extremely cool.
Speaker 2: Now he's not, but he's not twenty four years old.
Speaker 2: He's twenty eight years old.
Speaker 4: Oh he is?
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, that's okay, yeah, not bad at a kind
Speaker 2: of a dual threat guy who runs that RPO stuff.
Speaker 3: So he's not the nephew I met when I did
Speaker 3: the Don Perkins interview. That was maybe five six seven
Speaker 3: years Okay, that's probably too soon.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: How old was he he was.
Speaker 3: He wasn't maybe ten.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, this one he would have been in his twenties.
Speaker 4: So yeah, Well, speaking of the kid, can we talk
Speaker 4: about well, at least bring up Michael Down's birthday.
Speaker 2: Well, yes we can.
Speaker 4: Michael.
Speaker 3: Do you know what we didn't get an invitation? Well
Speaker 3: I didn't get one. You might have declined it. It's
Speaker 3: uh Cliff Harris's arm today.
Speaker 2: I know Cliff Harris and DeMarcus Ware teaming up to
Speaker 2: clips of that on CBS.
Speaker 3: As Cliff pointed out during his radio interview when he
Speaker 3: first got there, as they're trying to get younger players
Speaker 3: because he said, too many of my guys can't play anymore.
Speaker 4: You recall oh disastrous golf tournament that we had with him.
Speaker 4: The temperature somehow, and it was earlier in the spring
Speaker 4: at that time.
Speaker 3: If I'm not MI was just the one that was
Speaker 3: almost one hundred.
Speaker 4: Yes, it was one hundred degrees and with humidity you
Speaker 4: almost fell out. Preston Pearson made me so mad that day,
Speaker 4: Me and Bubba from blazing saddles. We're ready to go.
Speaker 4: Preston's like, no, we play the eighteen holes because that's
Speaker 4: Preston and we were the rules are right, and not
Speaker 4: only that, Preston Pearson takes at least one minute to
Speaker 4: address the ball and I'm sorry, man, we don't have
Speaker 4: time for all of that, so I'm fussing. Of course,
Speaker 4: I'm the young loud mouth in Preston's eyes. Oh, don't
Speaker 4: worry about it, everyton, don't worry. But by the time
Speaker 4: we made it into the into the clubhouse, after we
Speaker 4: were done, y'all were on dessert.
Speaker 3: We were done eating, you.
Speaker 4: Were done eating. And I was so mad. I left
Speaker 4: and I two days later I called Preston to see
Speaker 4: how he was doing. He said he was just getting
Speaker 4: out of bed so he had a torn labor and
Speaker 4: all of this was going on. No dammit, I'm gonna finish,
Speaker 4: and that's Preston play.
Speaker 3: Well, that's why DeMarcus ware got has to help out.
Speaker 3: We're getting some of the younger guy.
Speaker 2: Yeah, good stuff, all right, just getting started on mixed shots.
Speaker 2: So much to get to to get you ready for

Speaker 3: That's a hell of the home schedule.
Speaker 4: Yeah it is. Yes, it is Packers, Chiefs, Chargers, Vikings,
Speaker 4: and Cardinals.
Speaker 3: So I'm gonna make up for lost time. Okay when
Speaker 3: you were playing, did you ever look at the schedule
Speaker 3: when it came out and said, oh.
Speaker 4: This is good or this is bad? I never did.
Speaker 8: No.
Speaker 4: It was just like this is no. It was all.
Speaker 4: It was all a bit. It was all tough for me.
Speaker 4: So I couldn't sit I saying oh, oh that's I
Speaker 4: couldn't be picky with it, you know, to me, it
Speaker 4: was all tough.
Speaker 3: So like that time when we talked about the six
Speaker 3: straight games against playoff teams.
Speaker 4: That didn't know, the only time I would.
Speaker 3: Well that was because you guys were well the first
Speaker 3: part of it in your career playoff teams.
Speaker 4: But I always looked at just cities, cities that'd be
Speaker 4: like where you're going, where I'm going, Like if you
Speaker 4: say New Orleans, then my boys down New Orleans, right,
Speaker 4: And of course you think of the stadium itself and
Speaker 4: all the freaking noise in that stadium. So you do
Speaker 4: think about the environment of the visiting of site that
Speaker 4: you go to. You do think about that. I know
Speaker 4: when I go to you know RFK, you know, especially
Speaker 4: if it's a certain time of year. You know, we
Speaker 4: know that the stands are going to be moving, you
Speaker 4: know in the end zone. Just things like that just
Speaker 4: come to your head.
Speaker 3: Ras probably wasn't real grass.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, when they spray green grass on them, the
Speaker 4: mud and that, because if it's a green field.
Speaker 3: I remember Walt Garrison telling me that a couple of
Speaker 3: times when they won there, they got in the locker
Speaker 3: room and there was no hot water. Just happened to
Speaker 3: be just cold water. An he wore as stuff home.
Speaker 3: He didn't, Well, we couldn't.
Speaker 4: We couldn't do that. No, we weren't. They would not
Speaker 4: allow you to do that. Even you get getting that
Speaker 4: and face it, buddy, get that cold water, because you're
Speaker 4: not getting on this plane and smelling like that. I
Speaker 4: don't think we will let that happen. And also you
Speaker 4: would look at San Francisco. It wasn't just the team
Speaker 4: that you're playing, the field, yeah, you know, and so
Speaker 4: you know that when you play this game, you're going
Speaker 4: to have to have extra long spikes. Those are the
Speaker 4: kind of things that would really go through my head.
Speaker 2: You know when the and I didn't mean to talk
Speaker 2: about this today, but since you brought it up, you know,
Speaker 2: there was so much focus the schedule came out last
Speaker 2: month about that six game stretch that started Thanksgiving week Philadelphia,
Speaker 2: Kansas City at Detroit, Minnesota, Cincinnati, and Christmas Day at Washington.
Speaker 2: But I was just now looking, okay, the first ten
Speaker 2: games or so of the season, starting with the Thursday
Speaker 2: night at Philadelphia, yeah. I mean, let me just just
Speaker 2: to remind everyone what it is. All Right, You get
Speaker 2: to start at Philadelphia, Okay, obviously that's a very difficult opener.
Speaker 2: But then ten days later at home against the Giants,
Speaker 2: at Chicago, Green Bay, at home at the Jets, at Carolina,
Speaker 2: home against Washington, at Denver, Arizona, bye week, and at Vegas.
Speaker 2: You can make some hay during the first half of
Speaker 2: that season.
Speaker 4: You know, you better make some hay, right, I mean,
Speaker 4: but I haven't looked at the other guys schedule as well.
Speaker 4: So you say, Casey's coming in, we've got to go.
Speaker 4: Good teams come in, But what's their schedule looking like?
Speaker 3: As they could they have spaced some of that out.
Speaker 4: Though, made it more equitable over but you have to
Speaker 4: compare with teams. I mean, Casey's scheduled probably tough as well,
Speaker 4: coming into here at a certain time of year.
Speaker 2: Any one of those teams that's in that six game
Speaker 2: stretch from Philadelphia to Kansas City, Detroit, Minnesota, Cincinnati, and Washington.
Speaker 2: If the same thing happens to any one of those
Speaker 2: teams that happened to the Cowboys in the sixth game
Speaker 2: of the year last year, they lose their starting quarterback.
Speaker 2: Those games are totally different, right.
Speaker 3: I looked up Philadelphia's I don't know where I've got it,
Speaker 3: the schedule, and they didn't have any games like that
Speaker 3: many in a row against play quality teams. Yeah, playoff teams.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: And so from the Cowboys standpoint, they to have four
Speaker 3: games against playoff teams in their own division.
Speaker 4: Well, here's my thing. I'm sure Philadelphia does have a
Speaker 4: stretch that's challenging. You didn't see, not.
Speaker 3: Off the top of my head. I didn't see anything
Speaker 3: more challenging than a three or four game stretch.
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, Well, and it's already I mean, Elias or
Speaker 2: whoever came up with the numbers on it. There has
Speaker 2: never in the history of football been a stretch as
Speaker 2: difficult as what the Cowboys have from November twenty third
Speaker 2: to December twenty fifth, Meaning never before has a team
Speaker 2: been scheduled to play a six straight opponents who had
Speaker 2: eleven or more wins the year before.
Speaker 3: Or six opponents that combined was eighty one and twenty one?
Speaker 3: Was that something like eighty one and twenty one last year?
Speaker 4: Yeah? Do you think it has anything to do with
Speaker 4: the Cowboys and marketability and popularity.
Speaker 2: I think that there is some of that that goes
Speaker 2: into that because November is a big ratings month TV wise,
Speaker 2: and then leading up to.
Speaker 3: The holiday, and I don't know as far.
Speaker 2: As advertising it higher rates. I would assume higher rates
Speaker 2: go into the holiday season from Thanksgiving to Christmas, which
Speaker 2: is one of the reasons why I always thought that
Speaker 2: the college Football Playoff should be starting basically the week
Speaker 2: after Thanksgiving because from a TV standpoint, you that's when
Speaker 2: this at his height exactly, you know. So anyway, that's
Speaker 2: a different story. All right, as far as this many camp,
Speaker 2: what are you looking for outside of.
Speaker 3: What you talked to We talked about corner outside And
Speaker 3: by the way, the guy in Miami's probably still on
Speaker 3: the trade block too.
Speaker 4: So he didn't participate. He's not coming to camp, oh,
Speaker 4: he had no, he's not coming.
Speaker 3: Because he wants more money. And the Cowboys understand that
Speaker 3: if it's more money for one year, we can kind
Speaker 3: of of grit our teeth and do it. But if
Speaker 3: it's for more with the contracts expanding, are the base
Speaker 3: salaries increasing next year, they got to be careful.
Speaker 4: I gotta say, if we would bring uh, if we
Speaker 4: were to bring him in. God, that would.
Speaker 2: He's under contract with another.
Speaker 3: Okay, that's right, say if they if they will bring
Speaker 3: them in?
Speaker 4: Zip it.
Speaker 3: So other than cornerback, see and I want to say
Speaker 3: the defensive front.
Speaker 2: But okay, before you since before leaving cornerback. Yeah, kyer
Speaker 2: Elam is a guy. You sighted him last week. He
Speaker 2: came in here and said, who's this number twenty Yeah?
Speaker 2: This was after Everson and the other twenty five legends
Speaker 2: that were out here and got to watch the whole
Speaker 2: day and team meetings and then out of practice. He
Speaker 2: came in here the next week and said, the film work.
Speaker 3: Thanks to you. By the way, I went back and
Speaker 3: listened to Mike's fifty seven minute, fifty seven minute dissertation
Speaker 3: on his day here and what he had to say
Speaker 3: about everything. Michael, Yes, by himself. There's nobody asking him questions.
Speaker 3: He just started.
Speaker 2: He can interview himself seven minutes.
Speaker 3: But you know what, he gave me a layup column.
Speaker 2: He gave me a layup score sports show on Sunday night.
Speaker 2: That way, I saw it that afternoon. I said, well,
Speaker 2: I'm using that. I'm using that.
Speaker 4: I'm using that.
Speaker 9: On tonight's show, we talked I hadn't talked to Mike
Speaker 9: in a long time, and we finally talked, and yeah,
Speaker 9: I was just asking about the wide receivers and he
Speaker 9: feels really good about that.
Speaker 4: And you know, Mike is overly optimistic right about everything,
Speaker 4: because you know, he's he's you know.
Speaker 3: But but he was not optimistic about them hiring Schottenheimer.
Speaker 3: He he wanted Dion in here, and he was adamant
Speaker 3: that hiring him is going to be a continuation more
Speaker 3: of the same, and he admitted it in his dissertation.
Speaker 3: And then when he got here and saw what was
Speaker 3: going on and the things they were doing, did a
Speaker 3: one was.
Speaker 2: He invited to go a traditional Greek dancing on Friday night,
Speaker 2: no Greek isles, the grill.
Speaker 3: And get out of here. Yes, not the whole team.
Speaker 2: All the quarterbacks, Schottenheimer and Steve Shimco the quarterbacks coach,
Speaker 2: and Dak and Joe Milton and Will Grier and that
Speaker 2: and families were, but they were. They had the I
Speaker 2: can't remember the name of the the dance group there
Speaker 2: and they had a big old room and they were
Speaker 2: doing Greek dancing. It's it's gone viral.
Speaker 3: Were they doing belly dances?
Speaker 2: I did not see any belly dancing. Joe Looney was
Speaker 2: not there, okay.
Speaker 3: But Mike's big, you know what. He went through that
Speaker 3: whole thing and only once said something about talent. It
Speaker 3: was all about shot He's program and the fact that
Speaker 3: he is so big on competition under pressure. And he
Speaker 3: said everything he sets up is competition under pressure. He goes,
Speaker 3: they're not just sitting in there for gig giggles and
Speaker 3: shooting free throws. No, he wants to see the guy
Speaker 3: come up in front of everybody, and it's like, you
Speaker 3: want to lose doing this right. And then he talked
Speaker 3: about the position room. When he was in with the
Speaker 3: ride receivers, they would call. He said, they called up
Speaker 3: Mingo and Lamb and gave him the play and they
Speaker 3: had to diagram to play and then point out everybody's
Speaker 3: responsibility on that play and you better know it otherwise
Speaker 3: the guys in the in the room or.
Speaker 4: You're not dedicated, what are you doing?
Speaker 3: And then the other thing he pointed out is he
Speaker 3: said he called him up after the first half of
Speaker 3: the practice and you know, basically said hey, good practice,
Speaker 3: Da da da da da da, and he started, He said,
Speaker 3: they started the second half and there was a bunch
Speaker 3: of mistake and he stopped it, called everybody up and said,
Speaker 3: you're letting your teammates down. And in Mike's mind, when
Speaker 3: players hear that, you can tell me differently, he said,
Speaker 3: everybody starts looking around, going, well, who's the guy screwing up?
Speaker 3: It's not me? Uh And he said, then that's good.
Speaker 3: It sets the So his whole thing was about the
Speaker 3: environment more than anything else.
Speaker 4: And when when When when the coach says something like that,
Speaker 4: most likely the players know what area, what person they're
Speaker 4: talking about, right, Yeah, it's no secret.
Speaker 3: You just don't want it to be.
Speaker 4: You don't want to say yeah, you don't want to
Speaker 4: You don't want to say anything until you know sometime later.
Speaker 3: Okay, So that was an other thing.
Speaker 2: On Thursday, I was out here to tape the Blitz
Speaker 2: TV show and they were out on the field and
Speaker 2: you got music just blaring, you know, and there was
Speaker 2: a but even just observing it and you can speak
Speaker 2: to that, there was a Christmas about the way they
Speaker 2: were going about their business, all the position groups and
Speaker 2: so forth.
Speaker 4: Well, I saw the Christmas on the film. That's before
Speaker 4: we even got out on the field. And It wasn't
Speaker 4: just coming from what I was bragging about Dak and
Speaker 4: pickings and CD what page that they were on. The
Speaker 4: running backs also were looking good out there. Once again,
Speaker 4: you see not just how good a player is in
Speaker 4: the secondary, but you see how they're following instructions. And
Speaker 4: that's what I liked about Kayir. He was doing it
Speaker 4: just the way that it was supposed to be done,
Speaker 4: and he did it with the quickest feet that I've
Speaker 4: seen in the secondary.
Speaker 3: See, that could be the bonus if they can get
Speaker 3: something out of a one year bet.
Speaker 4: They're making on you know.
Speaker 2: And here's one thing on Cayer Elam when you look
Speaker 2: at his career. This is his fourth year and he
Speaker 2: was of course a first round draft pick out of
Speaker 2: Florida twenty third overall pick in twenty twenty two. All Right,
Speaker 2: his first year in twenty twenty two, he played in
Speaker 2: thirteen games, made six starts, four hundred and seventy seven snaps,
Speaker 2: had a couple of interceptions. Christian Benford was her sixth
Speaker 2: round pick that year, and out of Villanova and Benford.
Speaker 2: He had some injury issues that first year, and Elam
Speaker 2: missed four games as well that first year, but then
Speaker 2: Benford took off. The second year, Elam only played three games,
Speaker 2: two starts because he had an injury that year. He
Speaker 2: had torn ligaments in his right foot. So that's when
Speaker 2: Benford got a leg up on Elam, and Benford had
Speaker 2: the opportunity because Elam wasn't on the field. Two guys
Speaker 2: came in the same year out of the draft, and
Speaker 2: Benford took off. He just took the opportunity ran with it.
Speaker 2: Good for him. Well, Elam only played three games out
Speaker 2: of seventeen that year because they had torn ligaments in
Speaker 2: his foot. So now he comes back last last year
Speaker 2: and thirteen games, four starts, had a shoulder injury that
Speaker 2: he dealt with a little bit, but it was already
Speaker 2: they had your starters lined up here because Benford took
Speaker 2: advantage of his opportunity of the year before. So I
Speaker 2: think what the Cowboys scouts have seen and looking at
Speaker 2: Elam and understanding the injury issue that he had in
Speaker 2: his second year in the league, that this isn't a
Speaker 2: guy that you know, he's twenty eight, twenty nine years
Speaker 2: old and has had an opportunity and failed. He There's
Speaker 2: been some circumstances that have occurred and now, yeah, he's young,
Speaker 2: he's you know, and so he's he just turned twenty
Speaker 2: four last month, and I.
Speaker 4: Just saw, like I said, what I saw on the field.
Speaker 4: There was one play where he was concentrating on the
Speaker 4: wide receiver in the type of zone matchup defense and
Speaker 4: the two receiver came out and did a wheel route
Speaker 4: and he didn't see it at first, but when he
Speaker 4: saw it, his reaction was so quick that it negated
Speaker 4: the wheel route altogether. The receiver couldn't even get down
Speaker 4: the field because he was not prepared for Elam to
Speaker 4: recognize it so quickly after making the adjustment, and he
Speaker 4: totally got in the guy's way, which is what you're
Speaker 4: supposed to do by preventing them from getting down the field.
Speaker 4: And when we saw that, the coach had to run
Speaker 4: it back and they go, whoa look at this guy
Speaker 4: because he saw it last minute and when he made
Speaker 4: the move was extremely quick, so extremely quick.
Speaker 3: He's getting the opportunity now because when they go out
Speaker 3: there with what looks like their first team defense, he's
Speaker 3: at left corner and he's been there the whole time.
Speaker 3: We get to see the OTAs and the day we
Speaker 3: got to watch last week it was Tuesday, dak through
Speaker 3: a deep route to Pickens and he was there to
Speaker 3: break it up, and so he was running with.
Speaker 4: Pickens and Pickens and CD. They're not out there trying
Speaker 4: to be cute. Oh no, they are out there balling.
Speaker 4: They are bringing it with all the speed coming across
Speaker 4: the middle. Of course, you know, we know this is
Speaker 4: practice and they're not going to worry about too much contact.
Speaker 4: But to have that kind of aggression this time of year,
Speaker 4: I don't care if you got pads on or not.
Speaker 4: That's the kind of timing that you want to see
Speaker 4: from your offense. You don't have time. You know, it
Speaker 4: wouldn't be good for you to go at a pace.
Speaker 4: That's not true. They're going at a true pace, a
Speaker 4: game pace on both sides without the contact.
Speaker 3: And the other guy that I felt is following in
Speaker 3: those footsteps that I've seen so far as Javonte Williams.
Speaker 3: And I can't say i've seen him play last year
Speaker 3: the year before when he tore his ACL, but he
Speaker 3: had a good year in Denver, and it looks like
Speaker 3: and you know how they make him run through and
Speaker 3: they know they're not going to get hit.
Speaker 4: That's what we're talking about it, right.
Speaker 3: But he hits the hole and if he has to
Speaker 3: run eighty yards, no one's running with them, you know,
Speaker 3: I don't know that the dB has to chase them all.
Speaker 4: Yeah, they want them to chase.
Speaker 3: Him and knock the ball out because the running back
Speaker 3: has to go and he's a lot faster than I envisioned.
Speaker 4: They were taught to defensively. DB's they have to finish
Speaker 4: the play that they're chase them all the way to
Speaker 4: the end zone if you have to, but see if
Speaker 4: you can make the play because some of the running
Speaker 4: backs they get lack of days thinking they got it
Speaker 4: made and then here comes Kayir came up one time
Speaker 4: knocked it out of the dude's hand just before he scored.
Speaker 4: So these are the kind of things. Let me say,
Speaker 4: this's not got a little time to deal with when
Speaker 4: you start talking about injuries. Injuries happen when you're not
Speaker 4: prepared for something. The better understanding you have of the
Speaker 4: game itself. It's like driving. You can anticipate things that
Speaker 4: can happen before they do. That could help you prevent
Speaker 4: a lot of injuries if you don't take any missteps
Speaker 4: based on that not being prepared. The way that they're
Speaker 4: coaching these guys, they're letting them know pre snap recognition
Speaker 4: is going to help you a lot in this situation.
Speaker 4: So that recognition is going to help you understand what
Speaker 4: the offense is trying to do. If you understand what
Speaker 4: they're trying to do, then maybe you'll be more prepared
Speaker 4: physically for whatever's about to happen in the upcoming play.
Speaker 4: You understand what I'm saying, That's how injuries happen when
Speaker 4: you're not prepared and your mind is somewhere else, and
Speaker 4: then you try to make a move that your body
Speaker 4: wasn't ready for. That's why guys, myself, Michael Downs, we
Speaker 4: just didn't get hurt that much because of the you
Speaker 4: know what can have happened. At least so many things
Speaker 4: can happen in a particular play, and not just to play,
Speaker 4: but even down the field. There's only so many things
Speaker 4: that happen when you go for the ball, and I
Speaker 4: don't think that all these players are always ready for
Speaker 4: that because it happens so quickly.
Speaker 3: Like if you're on Sam Rayburn driving seventy miles an
Speaker 3: hour and you're looking ahead and you're going I think
Speaker 3: that guy wants to change left, right, you go, you
Speaker 3: can tell right.
Speaker 4: The same with football. It's the same with sports.
Speaker 2: That's like Dray green Law when he tore his achilles
Speaker 2: coming off the side. Second it was sudden change.
Speaker 4: That was different to different, like whoa, what just happened.
Speaker 4: I don't know what to compare that to. I'm sorry,
Speaker 4: I can't even compare that to anything.
Speaker 3: Or guys in the players in basketball and they got
Speaker 3: a fast break by themselves and they're not assuming that
Speaker 3: somebody might be railing me from behind.
Speaker 4: And you get startled. Yeah, misstep, You never know.
Speaker 2: All right we are And by the way, on the
Speaker 2: running back situation, Nick Chubb signing with the Houston Texas.
Speaker 4: So all right.
Speaker 2: We continue with more mix shots, one final segment for
Speaker 2: the off season when we come back.

Speaker 3: I'll be there.
Speaker 2: Okay, where is it going to be?
Speaker 4: So?
Speaker 3: By the way, before we get going, I just saw
Speaker 3: a commercial. Patrick Mahomes was in it. He and his
Speaker 3: wife are in a suite in Omaha in Oklahoma City
Speaker 3: watching the women's softball title games?
Speaker 2: Right yeah?
Speaker 3: I mean how does he go to things like that
Speaker 3: and no one notices who he is?
Speaker 2: Like you got?
Speaker 4: Oh?
Speaker 2: I think they notice who he was? I know, because
Speaker 2: Mike does.
Speaker 4: He travel without security?
Speaker 3: Well I don't know.
Speaker 2: Yea. My wife went to Tech and so this weekend
Speaker 2: her brother in law, who actually Billy Breed Love is
Speaker 2: a vice chancellor at Tech and uh and so we
Speaker 2: had our cousin's camp weekend and so the whole Lobbo
Speaker 2: crew was watching it. So we watched a lot of softball.
Speaker 3: And he's not just there. He's there cheering like they
Speaker 3: caught him on his feet, yeah, waving whatever.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, and he got going to see anybody Oklahoma,
Speaker 2: I mean Texas in Texas.
Speaker 4: Were playing in the Yes, of course, of.
Speaker 2: Course Women's College World Series. He got he got umber.
Speaker 4: With the Grand Slam. That was he's a stud Texas.
Speaker 2: He also bought gear for all for all the players
Speaker 2: on the team, like jackets and other stuff. I think
Speaker 2: he's an Adidas guy.
Speaker 4: Okay, he is.
Speaker 3: That's probably why the whole school is that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, right, it's definitely why. And by the way, the
Speaker 2: pitcher Niga Kennedy who was at Stanford and they paid
Speaker 2: her and over a million dollars for this year and
Speaker 2: on game day, on the day of the last game
Speaker 2: which did not go well for her, they announced the
Speaker 2: contract extension for her for next year. As I got
Speaker 2: she's coming back, and I'm not sure that it's all.
Speaker 2: The Tech has a huge knownor Cody Campbell, who sold
Speaker 2: a oil company for four billion dollars. And that's why
Speaker 2: Tech's got the best the number one rank transfer portal
Speaker 2: in football. Well also, but I think Patrick may have
Speaker 2: donated a little bit to the softball pitcher as well,
Speaker 2: so he's he's got a vested interest in this.
Speaker 3: They wear those poor pictures out.
Speaker 2: That's why that's okay, we're not going to But of
Speaker 2: course my alma mater, Oklahoma won the last four. Yes,
Speaker 2: and I'm sorry, I can't get into some and that's
Speaker 2: that's and my says, stirs. They're they're texting about whatever
Speaker 2: happens in the games, and I'm not watching. I don't care.
Speaker 4: Because that's one of the I'm not you should but
Speaker 4: follow it.
Speaker 2: But it's amazing how okay people go to these schools
Speaker 2: and my okay, my wife she admits she didn't know
Speaker 2: Tech how to softball team. It's a last week and
Speaker 2: she's like watching it and she's nervous as could be
Speaker 2: that we got to win this game. It's a school
Speaker 2: pride that builds up. That's just amazing.
Speaker 4: Well, oh you should know about that, Oh you you
Speaker 4: should not.
Speaker 2: But but the reason I don't get into softball is
Speaker 2: the picture situation. You can because they throw underhanded, there's
Speaker 2: no stress on your shoulder. They can pitch every game
Speaker 2: and so it's okay. If you got the great pitcher,
Speaker 2: then you're gonna win the game.
Speaker 3: Typically, typically they are hitting better than they used to.
Speaker 5: Have.
Speaker 4: You guys seen the I Guess interview that Patrick Mahone's
Speaker 4: wife UH delivered to UH to Patrick, and they were
Speaker 4: talking about the things he likes, no, and the kind
Speaker 4: of food that he eats and things of that nature.
Speaker 4: So they she was asking him questions. I think he
Speaker 4: was asking her questions. I think he was asking her questions.
Speaker 4: See if she knew about him, okay, and she was
Speaker 4: like a game. She asked, No, one knows what about Yeah,
Speaker 4: we forget how old we are? She asked him, Well,
Speaker 4: he asked her, what's my favorite food? And she was
Speaker 4: just so funny, especially in the black community. She goes
Speaker 4: fried chicken. He goes, no, it's not. I just I
Speaker 4: thought that was so funny. She thinks her husband's favorite
Speaker 4: food is fried chicken. You don't know your her husband's
Speaker 4: favorite food. And this sounded just so weird because of
Speaker 4: the way she said it, and of course he you know,
Speaker 4: was pretty land about no, no fire, chicken is not
Speaker 4: my favorite food. I just thought i'd bring that up
Speaker 4: and make it an uncomfortable moment.
Speaker 2: Didn't say what his favorite food is.
Speaker 4: It didn't matter the fact that she got it wrong
Speaker 4: and the way she said it, It just sounds is
Speaker 4: so well.
Speaker 2: I guarantee you if Patrick Mahomes, knowing my wife and
Speaker 2: her family and all the Texas Tech people, if he
Speaker 2: said whatever hit to his favorite food is, that's their
Speaker 2: favorite food. That's what Patrick Mahomes means to the Texas
Speaker 2: Tech people.
Speaker 3: Or they were going to go out and buy that's right,
Speaker 3: all right, all right, you.
Speaker 2: Got more things on your legal path.
Speaker 3: Well safe. We were going to like what else to
Speaker 3: watch for the mini camp and I'd love to say
Speaker 3: the defensive front, but they it's playing Patty Kake them,
Speaker 3: so you really can't tell. You can tell what the
Speaker 3: coaches think of them by how they line them up,
Speaker 3: but other than that, you can't.
Speaker 2: Okay, let's fast this this show is going to have
Speaker 2: a lot of shelf life here for the next six weeks.
Speaker 2: So what are you looking for in training camp?
Speaker 4: Well?
Speaker 3: Right there, yes, absolutely, they're not paying that is well,
Speaker 3: we got to wait four days before we find out.
Speaker 3: But can Mozsi Smith take the next step, because he's
Speaker 3: got to take the next step.
Speaker 4: You spoke of the salaries, and the cap is already
Speaker 4: hit on most teams, So what's the chances that we
Speaker 4: get a bigger player up front? You on the defensive.
Speaker 3: Line probably have to wait until the Cup. The cuts
Speaker 3: come like August, I think I just wrote it down.
Speaker 3: They got to be at ninety three on August twenty sixth.
Speaker 4: So you you would take someone from the first well, that's.
Speaker 3: Like take what it was a big guy they brought,
Speaker 3: was it or was it Watkins?
Speaker 2: Or was that the year Carlos Watkins was one of
Speaker 2: them and the year before Joseph Linville. Joseph was in here.
Speaker 2: Jonathan Hankins.
Speaker 3: Jonathan Hankins because he's the one that went to Seattle.
Speaker 3: They wanted to resign him and Seattle he and they
Speaker 3: offered him the same amount of money. But he went
Speaker 3: to Seattle because his defensive line coach is the defensive
Speaker 3: coordinator there.
Speaker 4: But if you bring up those guys names, they didn't
Speaker 4: do much for us.
Speaker 2: Well, and remember and they were bringing in nose tackles
Speaker 2: left and right, veteran guys from Jordan Phillips to Albert Huggins,
Speaker 2: and during training camp didn't want to play football, goes
Speaker 2: to Buffalo, and then he goes to Buffalo and he's
Speaker 2: wanted to play football again.
Speaker 4: So that.
Speaker 3: Also if Geyton is taking the next step at left tackle,
Speaker 3: but again we can't see that until they put the
Speaker 3: pads on. So I think that.
Speaker 4: Has anyone about his progress, Has anyone talked about.
Speaker 3: His Schottenheimer uh praised him for his work in the
Speaker 3: off season and saying, you know, and he went to
Speaker 3: point out that he hadn't played much left tackle, uh
Speaker 3: in his college career.
Speaker 4: You think someone like Nate could help him.
Speaker 2: Nate Newton Well Tying had helped him a little.
Speaker 4: Yeah. Who looks good, by the way.
Speaker 3: When I saw him, I saw him. So he's like
Speaker 3: at the end over there at the end of the field, right,
Speaker 3: and I saw this guy standing there and I go,
Speaker 3: is that the Marcus Ware And and then he came
Speaker 3: jogging with his son and it's like that's Tyrant. Yeah, man,
Speaker 3: oh my lord.
Speaker 4: Yeah, So he's helping him.
Speaker 2: I believe there was a report that he's he talked
Speaker 2: to him once and so the report.
Speaker 4: He's help talkings.
Speaker 3: Yeah, at most we have probably he was out of
Speaker 3: practice and someone saw them talk to each other or whatever.
Speaker 2: So he's working with you. You know.
Speaker 3: The other position I think is going to be interesting
Speaker 3: is wide receiver because you know they're what top three
Speaker 3: If you've got Pickens, Lamb and Tolbert, that's the way
Speaker 3: they've been going. The next three have been Turpin's fourth right, Uh,
Speaker 3: Turpin was yes, Turpin Uh, FLOORINOI and Mingo ILINOI. I
Speaker 3: can't get out of sayoy. Those three are the second line.
Speaker 2: So that there was Turpin, FLINOI, and Mingo right, okay,
Speaker 2: ILLINOI Mingo.
Speaker 4: To say something. I don't know what each other.
Speaker 3: And so that then you know, leaves Paris Campbell, who's
Speaker 3: kind of a veteran at least Jalen Brooks who made
Speaker 3: the team last year. Cropper had it looks like he's
Speaker 3: had another good offseason, He's had a good training camp,
Speaker 3: and then he gets in the in the preseason games
Speaker 3: and disappears.
Speaker 4: If we can get Ferguson healthy, I guess he's healthy.
Speaker 4: I hadn't heard, yes he is, and get that same
Speaker 4: attitude back that they had two years ago and if
Speaker 4: we can get the young running back Blue and work
Speaker 4: with him, I mean really work with him and get
Speaker 4: his confidence up to let him know that he could
Speaker 4: be the man around here. And if not the man,
Speaker 4: he could be extremely important on passing downs, second and
Speaker 4: long third downs.
Speaker 2: We may not pair them with lip Key.
Speaker 4: Anyway. Stop anyway. First of all, is gonna get off
Speaker 4: this year. Okay, He's going to be able to have
Speaker 4: his little packages. I do believe. I do believe that.
Speaker 4: But I would just like for us to not worry
Speaker 4: about a third wide receiver necessarily. I think that we
Speaker 4: can really confuse people with a running back like Blue
Speaker 4: in the sight and the tight end, two tight ends,
Speaker 4: even in the slot.
Speaker 3: See and everybody forgets Tolbert let the team in touchdowns
Speaker 3: lest year with seven seven.
Speaker 4: And I'm still not impressed. I gotta see more from him.
Speaker 4: I have to see more from him in regards to
Speaker 4: getting off the line of scrimmage. I get it, you know,
Speaker 4: he scored seven touchdowns, but I need to see someone
Speaker 4: that's going to help me move the chains when my
Speaker 4: quarterback is in trouble, and I need you to beat
Speaker 4: that man off the line of scrimmage inside right now,
Speaker 4: and I don't want any excuses. That's the kind of
Speaker 4: guy I want to see.
Speaker 3: Well, you know they're doing it now, but I guarantee
Speaker 3: you there's going to be a turping package out.
Speaker 4: Of the s and there you go. That's that's fine
Speaker 4: as well. But in regards to UH having to to disguise, yeah,
Speaker 4: if you bring out a running situation, running personnel, you
Speaker 4: can easily change that that running personnel into passing personnel.
Speaker 3: And then the other thing is the backup quarterback position.
Speaker 3: Those guys have got to prove that you can count
Speaker 3: on and I don't know what the lack of experience
Speaker 3: that that's going to play.
Speaker 4: Out from either one of the guys.
Speaker 3: Now, I was the practice we watched on Tuesday, Milton
Speaker 3: I was impressed because he was he was seeing the
Speaker 3: anticipating the receiver that was coming open right and throwing
Speaker 3: the ball very accurately, and then he missed the linebacker
Speaker 3: dropping in the coverage and DeMont Clark picked him off.
Speaker 3: So I was sitting there until that point I said, Okay,
Speaker 3: I understand what everybody thinks about his arm. Now he's
Speaker 3: got to understand where to throw the ball. And then
Speaker 3: he got picked off.
Speaker 4: And it happens. I mean, this guy's yeah paid. Yeah,
Speaker 4: that's a good player.
Speaker 3: You know, if you have thirty six touchdown passes, you're
Speaker 3: probably going to have ten to twelve interceptions.
Speaker 2: It just happens. Okay, we're past time. We're in overtime now,
Speaker 2: ot okay, way past.
Speaker 4: Yep, So.
Speaker 2: Enjoy your mandatory mini camp and we'll see you and.
Speaker 4: I welcome to overtime now.
Speaker 3: I think you guys should be there to watch mini camp.
Speaker 2: Come on, but we'll see everyone else in Oxnard. Because
Speaker 2: this is we're done with the mix shots for the seasons.
Speaker 4: This is the last.
Speaker 2: Okay, it's pretty sad, it is, all right. Enjoy your
Speaker 2: vacation too.
Speaker 3: And yes, using some time, a few vacations, yes.
Speaker 2: All right, and so we will too. Yes, since you've
Speaker 2: got all this help at CBS eleven, and since we
Speaker 2: got all our teams out of the playoffs, I'll take vacation,
Speaker 2: all right. Rangers, Well that's he just said, we got
Speaker 2: all the teams out of the playoffs. You have been
Speaker 2: watching them lately.
Speaker 3: Hey, they're starting to hit, all right, so that's it.
Speaker 2: They need to course some runs of course, Yes, all right,
