Speaker 3: they're up now because Beam.
Speaker 1: In the front just right, I like get ye. Yeah.
Speaker 1: They picked up on that.
Speaker 7: We've talked about it before you we said it several times.
Speaker 4: I'm sorry, are you are awake?
Speaker 1: I am awake, freaking go.
Speaker 5: There is uh, there's a preseason game coming up.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of football.
Speaker 5: Last night there's a little bit of football.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we had a We had a former quarterback, Cooper Rush,
Speaker 3: play a little bit last night. His first passing past
Speaker 3: attempt was uh, he threw threw a pick on his
Speaker 3: first passage.
Speaker 5: But other than that, I thought he.
Speaker 3: All kind of like football is back, and that's part
Speaker 3: of the football side of things is you're gonna have
Speaker 3: some ups and you're gonna have some down. We got
Speaker 3: an exciting show for you today, though, We've got some fun.
Speaker 5: Of course, it's it is camp. It's summer camp.
Speaker 3: So we're gonna have some paper play towards coming up
Speaker 3: later in the show. It could be about football, it
Speaker 3: could be not about football. It doesn't really matter. I
Speaker 3: couldn't afford summer can I I know it's tough, you know,
Speaker 3: tough out there sometimes playing on the block with But
Speaker 3: let's let's get into some news and notes, because I
Speaker 3: want to get this out of the way pretty early,
Speaker 3: because yesterday Thursday's practice was a little concerning.
Speaker 1: Speak across the league.
Speaker 7: But across the league, yes one thou good, great?
Speaker 5: Those are some vibes that were off yesterday.
Speaker 7: All things considered, you have to be a little relieved.
Speaker 7: You have to be a little relieved in comparison to
Speaker 7: how everybody else ended up yesterday.
Speaker 1: The well still not o man.
Speaker 4: Obviously with Sean Slater comes to mind. Heal up, big guy,
Speaker 4: he look so. But that being said, contextually, you're completely right.
Speaker 4: Most certainly could have been worse for the Dallas Cowboys,
Speaker 4: but also wasn't great for him. Okay, so let's go
Speaker 4: down a quick injury run down as far as who
Speaker 4: was not practicing and who ended up leaving practice. Brevns
Speaker 4: and Ford. He's still not practicing, but he's moving around.
Speaker 4: Will Tyler gut and he's off of his crutch. Update
Speaker 4: on Tyler gout and I spoke with him off the record,
Speaker 4: but on the record, he did tell me that, well,
Speaker 4: obviously you can see he's not only off of his crutch,
Speaker 4: he's moving pretty well. And he told me that his
Speaker 4: knee is quote unquote responding very well to treatment. So uh,
Speaker 4: obviously I asked him, I said, how this week?
Speaker 1: One look.
Speaker 4: He gave me a particular answer which I'm not gonna share,
Speaker 4: but it was optimistic and positive. But it's ultimately up
Speaker 4: to the medical staff if he gets clear for that
Speaker 4: or not, so keep an eye on that. Justin Barron
Speaker 4: still not return to practice, nor has Miles Sanders. However,
Speaker 4: in a running backs room that's battling injury and a
Speaker 4: lot of questions. Mark deduce Vaughan was back at practice yesterday.
Speaker 4: I talked to duce Vaughn after practice yesterday and he
Speaker 4: said that he feels great after going through all of
Speaker 4: the paces yesterday and that he feels that he uh
Speaker 4: should likely be cleared for the preseason opener against the Rams.
Speaker 4: Fingers crossed because that young man definitely needs to get
Speaker 4: out there and at those reps.
Speaker 1: Absolutely that was a handy for him. Absolutely. There was
Speaker 1: a scare for a few seconds with Jake Ferguson.
Speaker 4: Jake Ferguson took a hit from Kenneth Murray that he
Speaker 4: is likely still feeling today. Ferguson stayed down for a
Speaker 4: few moments, kind of a scary moment, but ultimately he
Speaker 4: got up to his feet.
Speaker 1: He was walking around just fine. He was in good spirits.
Speaker 4: He did not return to practice and I saw him
Speaker 4: walking around with the still machine on his back, so
Speaker 4: probably having a little bit of back spasms because of
Speaker 4: that hit.
Speaker 1: But I'm told it's not anything serious for Jake fergus
Speaker 1: that's a linebackers linebacker, Yeah it is.
Speaker 4: It is speaking of running backs, going back to running
Speaker 4: backs real quickly.
Speaker 3: You said you're not expecting anything significant.
Speaker 1: From Jake versus I am not.
Speaker 3: They're not worried across the board about Jake. I know,
Speaker 3: I know he'll probably receive treatment or maybe.
Speaker 4: Yeah, he will resent treat because of the hit that
Speaker 4: he took. I don't well, number one count him out
Speaker 4: of the preseason game on Saturday. He probably Yeah, either way,
Speaker 4: it wasn't gonna happen. Now it's definitely, it's definitely not.
Speaker 1: Going to happen.
Speaker 4: But when practices resume, I want to say Monday, there's
Speaker 4: a chance maybe he's held out of Monday's practice as
Speaker 4: a precaution. So but at this moment, I'm told they're
Speaker 4: not overly concerned with anything that's going on with Jake Ferguson.
Speaker 4: They just think he just needs some rest to give
Speaker 4: his muscles in his body time to recover, because yeah,
Speaker 4: he took one.
Speaker 7: Really quickly, so on that hit. If anybody's you know, listening,
Speaker 7: to this now and it's frustrated, like why is Jake
Speaker 7: Ferguson taking these hits in a in a practice at
Speaker 7: training camp. It was definitely one of those kind of
Speaker 7: freak accidents and Kennith Worry did not mean to hit
Speaker 7: him in that manner obviously, and after the play you
Speaker 7: could see Kenith Murray was not shaken up, but he
Speaker 7: was obviously regretful.
Speaker 4: It was and until that point after practice, we interviewed
Speaker 4: Kenneth Murray and he talked about it, and he said,
Speaker 4: absolutely was unintended.
Speaker 1: It was just one of those football plays bang bang played.
Speaker 4: It happened, and he expressed a lot of remorse and
Speaker 4: basically said, you never want to hurt a teammate like
Speaker 4: you never want to hurt the teammates.
Speaker 1: So remose Foe didn't mean to do it. It's football.
Speaker 1: It happened.
Speaker 4: Jake is mostly okay, give him some time to rest,
Speaker 4: but uh, Week one is not in jeopardy for Jake
Speaker 4: for example.
Speaker 1: That's good.
Speaker 3: And then I know Dak was asked about it, what
Speaker 3: did you see on that play whenever he was throwing
Speaker 3: the football, and he said, it's it's.
Speaker 1: A football player, it's a football.
Speaker 3: Downplayed it very much so, and it's even on Training
Speaker 3: Camp Live. I mean, we had it on Training Camp
Speaker 3: Live yesterday on Dallas Cowboy dot Com. Can go back
Speaker 3: and look at it. If you look, kind of make it,
Speaker 3: make it your own. But I think it was about
Speaker 3: as bang bang.
Speaker 1: It looked weird.
Speaker 3: It was a little weird the way he was up
Speaker 3: in and then he fell backwards and took his helmet off,
Speaker 3: and it was just kind of an odd moment, and
Speaker 3: so everybody kind of looked around and.
Speaker 5: Was like, what just happened?
Speaker 3: And then once he kind of got up and he
Speaker 3: even got back in the drill for a split second.
Speaker 3: Didn't run a route or anything, but he was back
Speaker 3: in the drill and then ultimately left practice.
Speaker 4: All indications are that he will be fine, just needs
Speaker 4: a little bit of risk, maybe a little bit of treatment.
Speaker 4: Like I said, he had the stem machine for those
Speaker 4: that don't know what the stem machine, and this muscle
Speaker 4: stimulator had to pack on had the contact. So I
Speaker 4: told he'll be fine. On a good news front, before
Speaker 4: I get back to the bad news.
Speaker 1: One year, Thomas has returned to practice.
Speaker 4: One year missed several practices as he was dealing with
Speaker 4: a leg issue, but he was back in practice, full contact,
Speaker 4: full goal. He said that he feels great. So that's
Speaker 4: great news for the safety unit as well as the
Speaker 4: cornerbacks unit because one year has seen some reps here
Speaker 4: and there helping with that nickel equation, trying to figure
Speaker 4: that out.
Speaker 1: Now back to the not so great news.
Speaker 4: So Jaydon Blue, he was carted initially to the medical
Speaker 4: tent after he was pulled down by Sam Williams, and
Speaker 4: so that was a little bit scary. But thereafter he
Speaker 4: walked under his own power to the locker room for
Speaker 4: further evaluation. And then after he got that evaluation, he
Speaker 4: was seen coming back out in a shirt T shirt
Speaker 4: and shorts to you know, peek out a few more
Speaker 4: plays in practice. So I'm told that there's not a
Speaker 4: high concern for him. They're still figuring out what that
Speaker 4: might be. I'm not on the training staff. If I
Speaker 4: had to guess, I think it's an ankle sprain of
Speaker 4: some sort. I'll try to get more information on if
Speaker 4: that's low, if that's high, if it's you know, grade
Speaker 4: one whatever.
Speaker 3: It came out last night, so the MRI said it
Speaker 3: was a bone bruise and it's heel bone, not an ankle,
Speaker 3: so it was it came out late last night that
Speaker 3: it was it was going to be. It's actually good
Speaker 3: news because since it's not an ankle sprain for a
Speaker 3: running back, bone bruise still hurts, don't get me wrong, but.
Speaker 1: It's much more easily. It's a lot, and he is
Speaker 1: in a boot.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I did see him in a boot, So there's that.
Speaker 4: And I know that when people hear the word boot,
Speaker 4: they're like, oh my god, oh my god. Boots are
Speaker 4: often used as precautionary is to help you keep from
Speaker 4: aggravating it.
Speaker 1: So bone bruise, let's go with that on the heel.
Speaker 4: But that ultimately means likely not taking the field against
Speaker 4: the Rams on Saturday.
Speaker 7: And of course that's a shame not to see him
Speaker 7: on the field this Saturday. But how much did you
Speaker 7: guys expect him to actually play?
Speaker 1: A lot?
Speaker 3: A lot?
Speaker 7: So it's very dispointing.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I expected a lot and a lot
Speaker 3: of Blue back and forth, maybe Vaughan if he's cleared,
Speaker 3: that would be those three.
Speaker 8: That room is thin right now. So this just say
Speaker 8: that most likely Blue doesn't play. Let's say because we
Speaker 8: didn't see Duceban doing team stuff yesterday.
Speaker 1: Let's just assume that he's not going to play.
Speaker 8: Mile Sanders is not playing. He's not definitely not playing
Speaker 8: Jamonte Williams if he's an easier leading starter at this point,
Speaker 8: I would imagine, so you're down to.
Speaker 1: Hunter Lifkey, and those are your two guys for a
Speaker 1: whole game. Take advantage Phil, that was going to be
Speaker 1: my hunter Liftkey.
Speaker 3: I think depending on how Ryan Schottenheimer views his position
Speaker 3: and use his role on this team, Phil MafA may
Speaker 3: have the best opportunity at hands stel reps here to
Speaker 3: have these reps and to take a lot of this time.
Speaker 3: And Josh, I know you've kind of kept an eye
Speaker 3: on Phil MafA throughout camp. I mean you think he's
Speaker 3: ready for that, You think he can step up into
Speaker 3: that role.
Speaker 7: There's nothing about his tape prior to camp that says
Speaker 7: this guy is like every down three down guy right now,
Speaker 7: But seeing him here it feels like I think that
Speaker 7: the vision is a lot better so far in camp.
Speaker 7: It's progressed at this point, but I think you have
Speaker 7: to split carries. I don't think that he's necessarily ready
Speaker 7: to take an entire game. I'd kind of like to
Speaker 7: see it just for the sake of seeing it right.
Speaker 7: We would like to get some things proven here, But
Speaker 7: I don't know that he's actually able to do that.
Speaker 1: Oh, he's going to have to. He may not have
Speaker 1: a choice, though, no choice.
Speaker 3: It may be twenty carries for MafA, fifteen for lipy
Speaker 3: five tires, but you.
Speaker 4: Know what, when it comes to MafA, you know, this
Speaker 4: is a great opportunity for Phil MafA to show some
Speaker 4: sort of versatility because you know, coming out of Clemson
Speaker 4: what we know him to be is the big bully,
Speaker 4: downhill runner. Okay, getting such a large chunk presumably of
Speaker 4: plays in the preseason opening against the Rams, he's going
Speaker 4: to be asked to do a lot of pass pro.
Speaker 4: He's going to be asked to catch the ball out
Speaker 4: of the backfield and do some damage in space if possible.
Speaker 1: So this again, like they said, not only is he
Speaker 1: going to get these chunk reps, but he has no choice.
Speaker 4: But because he's going to show him one thing or another,
Speaker 4: and it's either going to be great or it's going
Speaker 4: to be not so not so good.
Speaker 1: The thing that sucks about I know, we have to
Speaker 1: get to the rest of the injury report, because that's.
Speaker 7: Not That's the one thing you don't want is Joe
Speaker 7: Milton Leader.
Speaker 1: Shepley, Oh, Dakota Shepley.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and Terren still left, but he came back.
Speaker 1: Terry steells Shepley should be fine.
Speaker 8: But yeah, the thing that sucks about this for office,
Speaker 8: it's a great opportunity to show what he can do
Speaker 8: at the running back position, but the running back position
Speaker 8: isn't necessarily how he's going to make the team. Special
Speaker 8: teams is how he's going to make the team. Let's
Speaker 8: just be again, right, Special teams is how he's gonna
Speaker 8: make the team. And he's not going to be able
Speaker 8: to really do special teams because because of how many
Speaker 8: reps he has to take offensively, So what he needs
Speaker 8: to show most he can't because he has actually go
Speaker 8: to play his primary position. So it's actually a disadvantaced.
Speaker 8: It's a disadvantage for him. Yeah, because like he could,
Speaker 8: he could ball out at the running back position. But
Speaker 8: they're still going to say, okay, but what can he
Speaker 8: do for us on special games?
Speaker 5: Sure?
Speaker 1: Well, that's fair.
Speaker 4: Counterpoint is as we all know, particularly you haven't played
Speaker 4: in the league, is that a preseason is your auditioning
Speaker 4: for all thirty two teams, not just the team that
Speaker 4: you're on. So it granted valid point, he's going to
Speaker 4: have to try to prove something on special teams.
Speaker 1: But in lieu of that, because of the circumstances, if he.
Speaker 4: Does go out there and ball out at running back,
Speaker 4: they are thirty one other teams that are watching that
Speaker 4: same field.
Speaker 8: No for sure, I mean, but no matter what team
Speaker 8: he would posit potentially go to, if it wasn't going
Speaker 8: to be the Cowboys, he's still probably going to be
Speaker 8: at best a third running back, you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 8: Like most teams, most teams have their one and two,
Speaker 8: Like the one and two probably aren't playing. If they
Speaker 8: are playing, they're playing a series at most a quarter. Right,
Speaker 8: you saw Cincinnati plays their starters. You saw that coach
Speaker 8: plays some of their play their starters. So you saw
Speaker 8: some of these teams play their starters. But if you're
Speaker 8: gonna get picked up at the end of training camp,
Speaker 8: you're most likely going to be a third on the
Speaker 8: depth chart, which means that you have to.
Speaker 1: Do it special team. That's what I'm saying, Like, it's
Speaker 1: great for him, but it also sucks for him.
Speaker 4: At the same time, just make the best of the
Speaker 4: situation is what he can do, and then control control.
Speaker 7: If he balls out either way, he's gonna have a
Speaker 7: spot somewhere.
Speaker 4: Similar somewhere, So he's got plenty of motivation to go
Speaker 4: out there and try to show out against the Rams.
Speaker 3: Realistically, Isaiah, I know we've had these We've been on
Speaker 3: this show since twenty twenty together, and you've called a
Speaker 3: lot of preseason games over the last couple of years too.
Speaker 3: How much impact does the preseason actually have when it
Speaker 3: comes to building a roster or our joint practices with
Speaker 3: the Rams on Tuesday? Is that a bigger deal or
Speaker 3: is it the practices compounded over the course of a month.
Speaker 3: How much does how much weight does a preseason game
Speaker 3: still actually care?
Speaker 1: It depends on the organization, It depends on their coach.
Speaker 5: So we're gonna learn a lot.
Speaker 8: We're gonna learn a lot because you we hear this
Speaker 8: competition word a lot around here.
Speaker 1: Nowadays.
Speaker 8: We've seen the guys get valued, right, We've seen them
Speaker 8: get their their pay dirt in terms of moving up
Speaker 8: the depth chart in practice, But does that really result
Speaker 8: in them earning a roster spot when it comes down
Speaker 8: to the final fifty three.
Speaker 1: That's what's left to be seen with this coaching staff.
Speaker 8: Typically, you go to a preseason game, and I want
Speaker 8: people at home to understand how difficult this is for
Speaker 8: these players. There's fifty three roster spots. You go into
Speaker 8: training camp with ninety plus players. You go into these
Speaker 8: games as an employee knowing that there may be five
Speaker 8: available spots. Maybe there might be five spots for you
Speaker 8: to go get, and those spots are going to be
Speaker 8: based upon the positional need in terms of death right.
Speaker 1: So imagine being.
Speaker 8: Ninety guys or not ninety guys, call it forty guys
Speaker 8: going for five spots, and you know ninety percent of
Speaker 8: us are going to give get fired.
Speaker 1: It is the most difficult thing to do as an employee.
Speaker 8: As an athlete, however, you want to reframe it to
Speaker 8: give it your absolute awe, knowing that your all might
Speaker 8: not be enough, but you're literally working your tail off
Speaker 8: trying to make an impression. When even if you make
Speaker 8: an impression to that team. Now we're not gonna talk
Speaker 8: about the rest of the thirty one teams, but to
Speaker 8: that team, appreciate you.
Speaker 1: But yeah, we didn't.
Speaker 4: We never had a spot for you anyway, Thus is
Speaker 4: the business. You come out and you do it, you control,
Speaker 4: you can't control. You put your best on the practice field,
Speaker 4: you put your best on preseason film. And that's why
Speaker 4: for me, I will never never ever subscribe to or
Speaker 4: be able to wrap my head around those who care
Speaker 4: about preseason wins and losses.
Speaker 1: I don't care. Don't ever tweet me about it, don't
Speaker 1: ever talk to me about it. I do not care.
Speaker 1: What I care about is the unbridled.
Speaker 4: Evaluation of these guys, these fringe guys who are trying
Speaker 4: to get those five six or soul spots, who are
Speaker 4: gonna go out there and they're gonna lay it out,
Speaker 4: lay it all on the line. And I am interested
Speaker 4: in seeing who can make things difficult decision wise at
Speaker 4: certain positions. What if pil Maffa blows up against the
Speaker 4: Rams and then in the subsequent preseason game, what if
Speaker 4: not to say that that would be enough for him
Speaker 4: to outrank let's say, Javonte Williams, a healthy Miles Sanders
Speaker 4: and then Jay and Blue. But doesn't it make the
Speaker 4: conversation much more intriguing because now it's like, because we
Speaker 4: used to have this conversation When I say used to,
Speaker 4: it was fairly recently. It was the Elite Davis conversation, right,
Speaker 4: you remember the relape Davis conversation.
Speaker 1: It's like it, do you go with Malik? Do you
Speaker 1: go with Rico?
Speaker 4: That was when Zee and Tony were still here and
Speaker 4: they ended up releasing Melik and Twitter verse went crazy, Oh,
Speaker 4: there's no way Malik's going to clear waivers. Any clear
Speaker 4: waivers turned up on the practice squad. So right, so
Speaker 4: things happen, so it'll be interesting. But the preseason for
Speaker 4: me is you really if you're watching as a fan,
Speaker 4: be it casual or you're analytical or you're an analyst,
Speaker 4: like we are trying to key in on these guys
Speaker 4: performances because this these guys are fighting for, like Isaiah said,
Speaker 4: they're fighting for their lives right now.
Speaker 7: They're fighting for reps even yeah, seriously for reps here
Speaker 7: on the practice field. I mean, it's it's about every
Speaker 7: rep for them. And it's about the mental capacity too.
Speaker 7: It's one thing that if you're physically able to do it,
Speaker 7: it's another thing if you're mentally prepared for the pressure
Speaker 7: that even a preseason games, it means not a lot
Speaker 7: to those out there statistically, but each and every rep
Speaker 7: is someone's dream.
Speaker 1: I do respect this coach staff. I know we got
Speaker 1: to move.
Speaker 8: I respect this coaching staff for not bringing in excess
Speaker 8: players to positions that would never make the roster.
Speaker 5: I respecting a quarterback seriously.
Speaker 8: I mean, like, there's three quarterbacks here. All three quarterbacks
Speaker 8: are gonna make the team the most part. I mean
Speaker 8: that's what it's gonna be.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 8: You're not bringing in five quarterbacks because you know thisice
Speaker 8: other two aren't gonna make it. You didn't bring in
Speaker 8: extra kickers. I was just about you brought in what
Speaker 8: you needed at the positions that you need it. There's
Speaker 8: gonna be one spot that's getting fought for in the
Speaker 8: offensive line. It's probably gonna be two spots, two or
Speaker 8: three spots fought for in a D line. The linebacker
Speaker 8: room is really competitive. Defensive backs, you might have one
Speaker 8: spot available at the quarterback position, maybe one at save safety.
Speaker 8: I think safety is really set at this point, so
Speaker 8: so no safeties that are competing or trying to are
Speaker 8: going to get the spot.
Speaker 1: So you're really competing that cornerback.
Speaker 8: You know what I'm saying, Like there's one what when
Speaker 8: you're when you're training, when you're practicing out here, you're competing,
Speaker 8: that's literally what's on your mind. Like if you're a number,
Speaker 8: you know they're gonna carry five ors. If you're counting,
Speaker 8: you're on a dep you're like, okay, okay, Cee, George October,
Speaker 8: you know what I mean. Like, you know you're fighting
Speaker 8: for one spot. So it is so hard that you
Speaker 8: get you go out there in the quarterback. We've seen
Speaker 8: it every year, Jayleen Marina Cropper has a heck of
Speaker 8: a camp every freaking year, and right still around because
Speaker 8: he's still around because of that.
Speaker 1: But when it comes to the games, if the quarterback
Speaker 1: can't get you the ball, did you not do your job? No,
Speaker 1: he couldn't give me the ball.
Speaker 5: No, it's a big part of it.
Speaker 3: I mean, that's a great point because you bring up
Speaker 3: all the guys who have flashed in the preseason previously,
Speaker 3: and they're either one of two elements. They're either not
Speaker 3: here still and they're either playing somewhere else or they're
Speaker 3: no longer in the league, or they are here and
Speaker 3: they've earned the right to stick around because of what
Speaker 3: they've done in the preseason in the past.
Speaker 1: You earn another training camp.
Speaker 9: You earn another example of Another example of that is
Speaker 9: Keymon Hall. Right, he was a rookie last season, and
Speaker 9: the reason Keymon Hall is still here is because of
Speaker 9: the pick six in the preseason, right, that he showed something.
Speaker 1: So he's still here and now he gets an opportunity
Speaker 1: to show again. He even got.
Speaker 3: Cut initially yes and return to the rest of squad
Speaker 3: and then has continued to fight his way back in.
Speaker 1: The journey is the journey sometimes this is this is it.
Speaker 3: Is the journey, and it's really a long journey for
Speaker 3: a lot of these guys. Speaking of the journey, we've
Speaker 3: made the journey out here to training camp. Good, it's
Speaker 3: summer camp, right. I want to give out some paper
Speaker 3: played awards from what we've seen so.
Speaker 5: Far in camp.
Speaker 3: This could be football related, this could be non football related.
Speaker 3: We're gonna make it a lot of fun here. When
Speaker 3: we come back on talking Cowboys, I want you to
Speaker 3: think about it. Think about your paper played award that
Speaker 3: you would give and put it in the comments section

Speaker 1: Really, this is my first.
Speaker 7: Camp first, like, this is the first camp atmosphere, and
Speaker 7: this is exactly what I would compare it to.
Speaker 3: And there are different types of camps. There are different
Speaker 3: types of awards and things. But a lot of times
Speaker 3: they'll have those cabin awards. Some of them are as
Speaker 3: simple as paper played awards. I want to do paper
Speaker 3: played awards for training camp. So far, this doesn't have
Speaker 3: to be football related only. It could be a whole
Speaker 3: lot of things. You got fun with it, We have
Speaker 3: some fun with I want to start with I want
Speaker 3: to start with Patrick here.

Speaker 4: Best teeth, best teeth of training camp teeth, thief t
Speaker 4: e f best teeth. Okay, there are a couple of
Speaker 4: honorable mentions, most notably CD lamb. He's got some pretty
Speaker 4: nice chance absolutely as as most folks out here do. Well,
Speaker 4: let me tell you about let me tell you about
Speaker 4: Joe Milton's teeth. Okay, Joe Milton. We were interviewing him
Speaker 4: after practice yesterday and and by the way, as far
Speaker 4: as injuries go, his thumb is completely fine. He said
Speaker 4: he should be clear to play tomorrow against the Rams.
Speaker 4: He was a full participant yesterday. But the entire time
Speaker 4: that he's saying this I could not help but be
Speaker 4: distracted by the carrots and his tee. By carrots, I
Speaker 4: do not mean that he had just finished eating lunch. Okay,
Speaker 4: I'm not talking about vegetables. I'm talking about those four
Speaker 4: diamonds that two on each side on CD has those
Speaker 4: two with the solitary like hence my hence my honorable
Speaker 4: mention for CD.
Speaker 1: So let's just go with the tide. Then start.
Speaker 4: CD Lamb best teeth you gotta say, with the f
Speaker 4: best teeth of Training Camp, which I love because ced
Speaker 4: Lamb is going to take one hell of a bite
Speaker 4: out of this season.
Speaker 1: So there's also that in my neighborhood. I can tell
Speaker 1: you that what's the dragon, Josh? What you got? All right?
Speaker 1: I don't know. You can tell you.
Speaker 7: I don't know on air, but I'm going with Cornhole Champion.
Speaker 1: That was mine. That was mine in the.
Speaker 10: Cornhole Champion one and on the game bag and this
Speaker 10: is all the guys go to that smoke.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you can't bring last.
Speaker 4: Year, the last year.
Speaker 13: I told Zach from the social media last year and
Speaker 13: I got C the other he did, sir, I had
Speaker 13: best off the field story of training Camp.
Speaker 3: I actually forgot n F here, but uh I had
Speaker 3: Chris Beam and CD and so it's the same story,
Speaker 3: the same story.
Speaker 7: Please play play.
Speaker 5: So Chris Beam is a notable, notable cornhole player. That's
Speaker 5: what he does.
Speaker 1: He is Olympian professional.
Speaker 5: Corn hole player and it's professionals used loosely.
Speaker 8: No no, no, no no.
Speaker 5: He can win money playing cornhole, so let's keep that straight.
Speaker 7: They're under ground like a gambling Uh, not.
Speaker 5: Gambling, we're NFL employees.
Speaker 7: No, No, I'm not gambling, but on corn hole, like
Speaker 7: like they're they're betting on cornhole and beam iss espnotry
Speaker 7: the uh.
Speaker 3: Anyway, this could have been on ESPN h E. The
Speaker 3: O Show because it had a nice audience to watch it.
Speaker 1: It did.
Speaker 3: We were eating with Growner just a couple of nights ago,
Speaker 3: Wednesday night. We were eating dinner and a group of
Speaker 3: people like kind of was finished with their food and
Speaker 3: they were walking out back behind the cafeteria, their cafeteria
Speaker 3: out here at training camp. And sure enough, as they're exiting,
Speaker 3: they see an unlikely combo playing corn hole together out
Speaker 3: here at camp. And then unlikely combo was Chris Beam,
Speaker 3: who runs our podcast as a phenomenal job, shooting, editing,
Speaker 3: everything with Dallas Cowboys media and then all pro wide receivers.
Speaker 1: Just completely random, and so we walked up.
Speaker 5: They were like, how did this come about?
Speaker 3: And I mean, Beam, you can attest to this yourself,
Speaker 3: but you walked up ceedee Lamb wanted to play.
Speaker 5: You were already playing.
Speaker 1: Did he challenge you? Beam?
Speaker 5: Did he challenge.
Speaker 1: The mic?
Speaker 8: All?
Speaker 12: Right?
Speaker 5: So what happened was is I walked out with I
Speaker 5: can't remember.
Speaker 1: Walked out with it.
Speaker 12: I just like threw a couple of bags and I
Speaker 12: was on the far by the fence where the golf
Speaker 12: course was.
Speaker 5: I was throwing towards the parking lot, so you face open.
Speaker 1: Yeah, iked through all the bags out of the way
Speaker 1: and that you know, you know, most of them go in.
Speaker 12: So CD was walking by and he saw this, so
Speaker 12: he was just like so he picked up a few
Speaker 12: and he's just like, you know, and he threw a
Speaker 12: couple of back and I walked out and I was like,
Speaker 12: you know, you want.
Speaker 8: To go.
Speaker 1: And he was like, oh my gosh, yeah, I'll play you.
Speaker 5: You didn't play one game.
Speaker 1: We didn't know for I did. I did? I did war.
Speaker 5: I looked at him kind of this is kind of
Speaker 5: like funny.
Speaker 1: I looked at him.
Speaker 12: I said, well, just just letting you know, I'm the
Speaker 12: ceedy lamb of cornhole.
Speaker 1: I did tell him that what a line. I said that.
Speaker 12: He's like, all right, so we uh. I beat him
Speaker 12: the first game did get me. The second game he
Speaker 12: was down ten nothing. He got me the second By
Speaker 12: this point, would be honest with you, that probably saved
Speaker 12: me a little bit because if I would have whipped
Speaker 12: him that game, it would have been over.
Speaker 5: But he now he's okay, I can get him right.
Speaker 5: So then he's like, all right, we got rubber match.
Speaker 1: So I whipped that. Now now he's hooked.
Speaker 12: Now he's like, I need another game.
Speaker 1: I got him mat and now the blow.
Speaker 5: It was the best of seven series and Chris one
Speaker 5: and five.
Speaker 1: It was like no, it was like five, it was
Speaker 1: four one.
Speaker 5: It was the final talent for one and and by
Speaker 5: the end of it, Beam was just taking him.
Speaker 12: It was it was kind of fun.
Speaker 5: Was to me, I was why was he dragging bags in?
Speaker 1: I mean he was at the end he was saying that, man.
Speaker 12: You're the luckiest gotten like I've been doing it all
Speaker 12: night too.
Speaker 4: So the rule is when Ceedee Lamb goes off for
Speaker 4: one fifty and three totties against the Eagles, it's because
Speaker 4: being hissed him off and training.
Speaker 5: For Beam yesterday. He wants a rematch. But I mean, Josh,
Speaker 5: it was there was a crowd that got involved.
Speaker 3: There are probably twenty five people at one point watching
Speaker 3: in cornhole match between Beam and.
Speaker 5: You can't post it, though, secret foot happen.
Speaker 3: It'll be in the deep Blue one day write a
Speaker 3: documentary's cornhole.
Speaker 7: It's called Poetry in Motion. It'll come out in twenty
Speaker 7: twenty six. It just it's being formed with the leg
Speaker 7: one leg up, throwing the bean bag. It's it's really impressive.
Speaker 7: I'm just, uh, if we needed, you know, a wide
Speaker 7: receiver tandem last year, I mean, I think we should
Speaker 7: have looked in house first because Beam and cd.
Speaker 4: Is I was going to say, or the way he's
Speaker 4: tossing those bags. Quarterback that went down Dimes too could
Speaker 4: have been on the underhanding.
Speaker 5: But now he is he forever solid. The nickname of
Speaker 5: beam Bag beam Bag is now the nickname. He ends
Speaker 5: it up. Well, we gotta beam Bags awards.
Speaker 1: So all three of us we got a comment of
Speaker 1: the day.
Speaker 5: What was the comment of the day.
Speaker 4: Mv the m v PS Lounge said, let's blame Deak
Speaker 4: for cd uh losing you and corner that's a good
Speaker 4: quality troll there, m v P is quality troll.
Speaker 5: J up that doesn't want to smoke Oscott.
Speaker 4: You're being called out by Chris Beam. He said, come
Speaker 4: see him on the corner hole.
Speaker 3: Dude, this is going to turn into a bit and
Speaker 3: I love it. I cannot We're gonna have a corn
Speaker 3: hole segment Lover's beams update of who he takes down
Speaker 3: in court.
Speaker 7: I just love after the second game, which now I
Speaker 7: believe maybe Chris may have thrown. Uh, but when he
Speaker 7: started losing, well, these boards on regulation, what are we doing?
Speaker 4: Oh?
Speaker 14: He didn't.
Speaker 1: He didn't go for a white man can't jump.
Speaker 6: He's like, is this regulations regulation?
Speaker 5: That's not tall enough? I'd be sinking that he was
Speaker 5: throwing bags. He goes, Man, I hate these bags. And
Speaker 5: then he sunk like three straight right into the hole.
Speaker 1: It's all bait. It's all bait. Just don't take the bait.
Speaker 4: One game he sunk all fine tall because once beam
Speaker 4: has beam has the hook and in a rock, you're

Speaker 8: Isaiah Stamback and this is say it with your Chest Friday.
Speaker 8: I have a confession to make. I would like to
Speaker 8: retract a statement that I made previously. No offense to anybody,
Speaker 8: but I would like to retract my previous statement in
Speaker 8: the last segment when I was referring.
Speaker 1: To man buns. These are the buns I was talking about.
Speaker 1: I would like to welcome my my co host. Thank
Speaker 1: you for clarifying. This is a safe place. It takes
Speaker 1: a lot. It's a safe place of our online community,
Speaker 1: our friends.
Speaker 8: I apologize and I and I appreciate your understanding of
Speaker 8: confusion and lack of clarity there.
Speaker 5: Keep the we appreciate.
Speaker 1: In light of that event, a new entrant into the.
Speaker 4: Awards has been has biggest pause of twenty twenty five.
Speaker 4: That goes to no other than our Isaiah's transit to
Speaker 4: keep the man buns coming.
Speaker 5: We're going to get all my principles. I was so fast.
Speaker 1: I was only gunning for that award this year. I hated.
Speaker 1: I hated to I hated had to be you. Oh,
Speaker 1: ladies and gentlemen, best podcast going like, oh my god,
Speaker 1: this is too good. All right, if you can come, guys.
Speaker 14: Oh my god, we call you Isaiah, stay back, I'll
Speaker 14: be sure. Yeah, Oh all right, we gotta shot up.
Speaker 1: And James, I love you too. Keep watching.
Speaker 5: We've got a preseason game to watch tomorrow.
Speaker 1: Isaiah is going to be on the call.
Speaker 5: Can't wait till Jones.
Speaker 3: I'll be on the sideline and we'll be on the
Speaker 3: pregame show as well. Patrick will have a segment on
Speaker 3: there too.
Speaker 5: It'll be really fun.
Speaker 1: Can't wait for that.
Speaker 3: Uh, things get started three pm Central, four o'clock kickoff.
Speaker 3: So three pm is the is the pregame show countdown,
Speaker 3: the kickoff is what it's called. And then we'll have
Speaker 3: the kickoff of the first preseason game for the Cowboys tomorrow.
Speaker 3: I want to give three players here that we should
Speaker 3: keep our eye on going into tomorrow's matchup. And you
Speaker 3: can give me an offensive player, a defensive player, and
Speaker 3: then try and give me a special teams guy, because
Speaker 3: we talked about the importance of special teams and in
Speaker 3: these preseason games, not a specialist, but a preseason special
Speaker 3: teams guy to watch.
Speaker 5: Who wants to start us off?
Speaker 7: I can kick us off. Let me do uh, let
Speaker 7: me start offense? And okay, yeah that was clean.
Speaker 1: I like that.
Speaker 7: He's a bar all right, Let me start off with
Speaker 7: the offense.
Speaker 4: Uh.
Speaker 7: Nate Thomas, all right, he's going to be up. He's
Speaker 7: not going to be going up against the Jared Versus
Speaker 7: of the world. Here in the preseason. But he's gotta
Speaker 7: go push them dudes around. He's got a game the
Speaker 7: confidence back after a poor showing. Arguably i'd say on
Speaker 7: on Tuesday, Uh, just get out there and push them
Speaker 7: dudes around. Like Nate Thomas is going to be one
Speaker 7: to keep an eye on. As far as defense, Shamar James,
Speaker 7: I do not need to see him come off the
Speaker 7: field for anything. Wow, every snap on defense unless he's
Speaker 7: playing incredible, and then pull him off the field and
Speaker 7: take his pads off. No, I need to see it.
Speaker 5: You want to keep it going.
Speaker 7: Okay, I know it's preseason, but even going, I just
Speaker 7: want to see a good game. Really, No, but I
Speaker 7: really want to see a lot of US Shamar James.
Speaker 1: For me offensively, I'm going Trey Shawn Holden.
Speaker 4: I want to see if treyhon we talked about if
Speaker 4: you're looking at five wide receivers, maybe six, there's really
Speaker 4: only one spot up for grabs.
Speaker 1: Who gets that spot?
Speaker 4: Trey Shon Holden came on strong in camp and he's
Speaker 4: consistently making at least one splash play each day. It
Speaker 4: feels like sometimes multiple splash plays. I want to see
Speaker 4: if he can transfer that onto the playing field. Against
Speaker 4: the n actual NFL opponent, the undrafted, you know, free
Speaker 4: agent out of Oregon. He and Junior Adams, the wide
Speaker 4: receivers coach. Let's see if that chemistry keeps going. I
Speaker 4: want to see that defensively, easy does it?
Speaker 9: I want to see Donovan az Roku and I cannot
Speaker 9: wait to see that young man unleashed.
Speaker 4: Under the bright lights. I want to see the same thing.
Speaker 4: If he can translate. Now we know that he can
Speaker 4: because of what he did at Boston College. But this
Speaker 4: is a different level of the game. Okay, so let's
Speaker 4: see if he can. He can, you know, send that
Speaker 4: trajectory restraight to the moon. Special teams wise, Special teams wise,
Speaker 4: I'm going Shamar James. I do want to see Shamar
Speaker 4: James on defense, needless to say, for all the reasons
Speaker 4: Josh said, and these guys want to see him as well,
Speaker 4: But Jamar James is he was a special teams monster
Speaker 4: at Florida, and I think that he's one that Sortsen
Speaker 4: is going to absolutely love. So I do want to
Speaker 4: see what Shamar James does on special teams. Nice selection,
Speaker 4: even though we have a thief in the night over
Speaker 4: the Offensively, I'm going with Tyler Neville.
Speaker 1: I like him. I like him.
Speaker 8: I think that he honestly, if given a true opportunity
Speaker 8: through in these three preseason games, I think he can
Speaker 8: challenge Hunter Lifkey for his position.
Speaker 1: Wow, I really do. I you just said it. I
Speaker 1: did say with my chest.
Speaker 3: So that goes back to what we were talking about earlier.
Speaker 3: How does Brian Schottenheimer slow the full back position?
Speaker 1: Yep?
Speaker 3: And then if he doesn't view the full back position
Speaker 3: very highly, where does he put lift?
Speaker 8: And I'll ad a little context of that. Hunter Lifkey,
Speaker 8: We've seen him as a fullback, We've seen him as
Speaker 8: a running back. We have not seen him as a
Speaker 8: huge contributor in the special teams. Yeah, okay, Tyler Neville
Speaker 8: is a true tight end that has the mentality of
Speaker 8: a fullback and has the grit of a fullback.
Speaker 9: Right.
Speaker 8: I don't think he could really play a running back position,
Speaker 8: and I think that he's gonna be a heck of
Speaker 8: a contributor on special teams.
Speaker 1: So I think that Tyler Neville has.
Speaker 8: More versatility than Hunter Lipkey does, So if given opportunity,
Speaker 8: I'm looking forward to seeing what he can do offensively
Speaker 8: for the Cowboys in the preseason.
Speaker 1: Defensively, I think the easy one with for me would
Speaker 1: be Mazzi Smith.
Speaker 5: Yeah, he's gonna play.
Speaker 1: I mean it's the third year. We've talked about it.
Speaker 1: We talked about it earlier in the week. Third year.
Speaker 8: Regardless of where you're drafted, you need to show something
Speaker 8: and I have I personally, to date, have not seen
Speaker 8: enough regardless of where he was drafted. I think he
Speaker 8: needs to have a heck of a showing in these
Speaker 8: three preseason games or the Dallas Cowboys need to approach
Speaker 8: that position group and whatever becomes available during training camp
Speaker 8: or via trade, I think that they have to address
Speaker 8: that room if he doesn't show what they need to see.
Speaker 8: Special teams wise, special teams wise, I am going with
Speaker 8: who did I have? Oh Tyrus week He's a dog, Yeah,
Speaker 8: he's a dog. He's a dog on defense all through preseason.
Speaker 8: We've seen it every year he's around. That's why he's around.
Speaker 8: And he's a he's a one of the most versatile
Speaker 8: special teamers course special teams that you can have. So
Speaker 8: I look forward to seeing him continue to have good
Speaker 8: showings in a preseason.
Speaker 7: A guy that nobody really talks about either like he's
Speaker 7: kind of under the radar, but consistently Yeah, well until
Speaker 7: right now, and Isaiah brings up a good point about him,
Speaker 7: but you see him constantly bring it in every practice.
Speaker 7: I forget to actually give you my special teams player
Speaker 7: to watch out for. So on the depth chart, you
Speaker 7: have Kavanti Turpin, Juania Thomas, and then Jalen Cropper as
Speaker 7: your third returner. I don't think you're going to see Kavante.
Speaker 7: I don't think you're going to see Janie Jalen Cropper.
Speaker 7: Let's see what he does on special teams.
Speaker 1: That'd be fun.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's he's been back returning kicks and stuff. Tolbert
Speaker 3: I know he has done it too, but you're not
Speaker 3: gonna see Tolbert.
Speaker 1: No, no, no way, no.
Speaker 7: I like that. I want to see how he contributes
Speaker 7: in that role. Obviously it's Avante Turpin's role.
Speaker 5: Yeah, but he's done in the past.
Speaker 3: He's been in these preseason games and I think he
Speaker 3: had a mistake one of these preseason games, either last
Speaker 3: year or the year before, where he muffed upon or
Speaker 3: at Kike or whatever it was. I think he fumbled
Speaker 3: the guests to the turn. One of those things. I'll
Speaker 3: have to go back and look at it. But yeah,
Speaker 3: for a chance to make the roster and to continue
Speaker 3: staying around, that's going to be big for him. I'll
Speaker 3: stick with wide receiver from my offensive one, Jonathan Mingo.
Speaker 3: I want to see what Jonathan Mingo has because he's
Speaker 3: not going to be off to the side. He's going
Speaker 3: to get legitimate reps and he's one of these guys
Speaker 3: that you would anticipate to compete for that wide receiver
Speaker 3: three or four spot on the roster. But he will
Speaker 3: play a lot in the preseason again. Talked to him
Speaker 3: yesterday at post practice as well.
Speaker 5: What did he say.
Speaker 8: He said that he was swimming a little bit in
Speaker 8: terms offensively understanding where to be, what to do. He
Speaker 8: said he feels much more comfortable and has a clear
Speaker 8: understanding of what the playbook is and where he fits
Speaker 8: in into playbook.
Speaker 3: And that's what I want to see. I want to
Speaker 3: see where he fits, where he's able to maneuver onto
Speaker 3: that offensive side. Because it's not to be Dak Prescott
Speaker 3: throwing the football, but if Jonathan Mingo is a vertical threat,
Speaker 3: you know who's throwing in the football, Joe Milton.
Speaker 5: He can throw the ball pretty far.
Speaker 1: Ninety.
Speaker 5: That's what he said yesterday.
Speaker 1: He said you can throw it. He got more than
Speaker 1: that defense.
Speaker 5: I want to go defensive line. I want to see J. Toya.
Speaker 3: I want to see Toya because some ups and we've
Speaker 3: seen some downs. I want to see how consistent he
Speaker 3: can remain. You want to see what they how he
Speaker 3: impacts the game.
Speaker 1: Hey, we got who got what are you doing? Okay?
Speaker 4: What we gotta ask you got to ask once Kyle finishes,
Speaker 4: you got to give her the question, did you finish
Speaker 4: your Okay?
Speaker 5: So wait?
Speaker 3: One more special teams, Zion Childress. Okay, we've seen him
Speaker 3: as a gunner a couple of times. They've kind of
Speaker 3: moved them in and out, trying to find out where
Speaker 3: he fits. I want to see what Childress has. But
Speaker 3: my my three were MINGO on the defense, defense, J Toya,
Speaker 3: and then special teams.
Speaker 5: Was uh I just.

Speaker 3: the preseason game, one offense, one defense, and then one
Speaker 3: special teams.
Speaker 1: But not a specialist.
Speaker 17: I'm gonna go offense, John Stevens because obviously that's a
Speaker 17: lot of Luke school Maker, Brevian span Ford.
Speaker 1: We don't know.
Speaker 17: Obviously with injuries, he's not gonna be playing. So this
Speaker 17: is a big day for John Stevens to get some opportunities.

Speaker 17: Yeah, I'm gonna go Donovan as Roku. I mean this
Speaker 17: is obviously second round pick for the Dallas Cowboys. He's
Speaker 17: been flashing throughout camp, making some really good plays and
Speaker 17: that defensive end room is loaded. Dante Fowler, Sam Williams,
Speaker 17: Marshawn neland improving as well. You don't really know there
Speaker 17: what you have as far as playing alongside Michael Parsons.
Speaker 17: Whenever that deal does get done.
Speaker 1: Special teams, I'm gonna go.
Speaker 17: Elijah Clark. I'm gonna go Elijah Clark because he's been
Speaker 17: some gaining some opportunities that safety, getting some first team
Speaker 17: reps with Jane Thomas not injured and not playing for
Speaker 17: a little bit, but he was back in practice yesterday.
Speaker 17: But just talk about a Lojah Clark. That's a way
