His first passing past 0:01:40.640 --> 0:01:43.760 attempt was uh, he threw threw a pick on his 0:01:43.840 --> 0:01:44.400 first passage. 0:01:44.640 --> 0:01:45.920 But other than that, I thought he. 0:01:45.959 --> 0:01:48.560 All kind of like football is back, and that's part 0:01:48.600 --> 0:01:50.840 of the football side of things is you're gonna have 0:01:50.880 --> 0:01:53.480 some ups and you're gonna have some down. We got 0:01:53.480 --> 0:01:55.760 an exciting show for you today, though, We've got some fun. 0:01:56.080 --> 0:01:58.240 Of course, it's it is camp. It's summer camp. 0:01:58.320 --> 0:02:01.400 So we're gonna have some paper play towards coming up 0:02:01.480 --> 0:02:03.920 later in the show. It could be about football, it 0:02:03.920 --> 0:02:06.160 could be not about football. It doesn't really matter. I 0:02:06.160 --> 0:02:09.640 couldn't afford summer can I I know it's tough, you know, 0:02:09.840 --> 0:02:11.920 tough out there sometimes playing on the block with But 0:02:12.480 --> 0:02:14.400 let's let's get into some news and notes, because I 0:02:14.440 --> 0:02:16.400 want to get this out of the way pretty early, 0:02:16.480 --> 0:02:22.600 because yesterday Thursday's practice was a little concerning. 0:02:22.240 --> 0:02:23.440 Speak across the league. 0:02:23.600 --> 0:02:28.320 But across the league, yes one thou good, great? 0:02:28.520 --> 0:02:30.520 Those are some vibes that were off yesterday. 0:02:30.760 --> 0:02:35.280 All things considered, you have to be a little relieved. 0:02:36.720 --> 0:02:39.520 You have to be a little relieved in comparison to 0:02:39.520 --> 0:02:41.680 how everybody else ended up yesterday. 0:02:42.520 --> 0:02:44.360 The well still not o man. 0:02:45.480 --> 0:02:47.960 Obviously with Sean Slater comes to mind. Heal up, big guy, 0:02:48.000 --> 0:02:51.839 he look so. But that being said, contextually, you're completely right. 0:02:51.960 --> 0:02:54.560 Most certainly could have been worse for the Dallas Cowboys, 0:02:54.639 --> 0:02:57.760 but also wasn't great for him. Okay, so let's go 0:02:57.800 --> 0:03:00.240 down a quick injury run down as far as who 0:03:00.320 --> 0:03:04.480 was not practicing and who ended up leaving practice. Brevns 0:03:04.600 --> 0:03:08.000 and Ford. He's still not practicing, but he's moving around. 0:03:08.000 --> 0:03:10.160 Will Tyler gut and he's off of his crutch. Update 0:03:10.240 --> 0:03:12.680 on Tyler gout and I spoke with him off the record, 0:03:12.720 --> 0:03:15.040 but on the record, he did tell me that, well, 0:03:15.080 --> 0:03:17.720 obviously you can see he's not only off of his crutch, 0:03:18.120 --> 0:03:20.160 he's moving pretty well. And he told me that his 0:03:20.240 --> 0:03:24.520 knee is quote unquote responding very well to treatment. So uh, 0:03:24.560 --> 0:03:26.280 obviously I asked him, I said, how this week? 0:03:26.320 --> 0:03:26.720 One look. 0:03:26.720 --> 0:03:29.040 He gave me a particular answer which I'm not gonna share, 0:03:29.639 --> 0:03:32.400 but it was optimistic and positive. But it's ultimately up 0:03:32.440 --> 0:03:34.120 to the medical staff if he gets clear for that 0:03:34.240 --> 0:03:37.080 or not, so keep an eye on that. Justin Barron 0:03:37.160 --> 0:03:40.040 still not return to practice, nor has Miles Sanders. However, 0:03:40.400 --> 0:03:42.760 in a running backs room that's battling injury and a 0:03:42.760 --> 0:03:45.880 lot of questions. Mark deduce Vaughan was back at practice yesterday. 0:03:46.120 --> 0:03:48.480 I talked to duce Vaughn after practice yesterday and he 0:03:48.560 --> 0:03:51.360 said that he feels great after going through all of 0:03:51.360 --> 0:03:54.040 the paces yesterday and that he feels that he uh 0:03:54.040 --> 0:03:57.080 should likely be cleared for the preseason opener against the Rams. 0:03:57.120 --> 0:03:59.480 Fingers crossed because that young man definitely needs to get 0:03:59.480 --> 0:04:00.680 out there and at those reps. 0:04:00.680 --> 0:04:05.040 Absolutely that was a handy for him. Absolutely. There was 0:04:05.080 --> 0:04:07.760 a scare for a few seconds with Jake Ferguson. 0:04:07.880 --> 0:04:10.960 Jake Ferguson took a hit from Kenneth Murray that he 0:04:11.160 --> 0:04:15.600 is likely still feeling today. Ferguson stayed down for a 0:04:15.640 --> 0:04:18.120 few moments, kind of a scary moment, but ultimately he 0:04:18.160 --> 0:04:19.120 got up to his feet. 0:04:19.200 --> 0:04:21.839 He was walking around just fine. He was in good spirits. 0:04:21.839 --> 0:04:24.320 He did not return to practice and I saw him 0:04:24.320 --> 0:04:26.760 walking around with the still machine on his back, so 0:04:26.839 --> 0:04:29.760 probably having a little bit of back spasms because of 0:04:29.800 --> 0:04:30.120 that hit. 0:04:30.200 --> 0:04:32.520 But I'm told it's not anything serious for Jake fergus 0:04:32.560 --> 0:04:34.440 that's a linebackers linebacker, Yeah it is. 0:04:34.920 --> 0:04:38.479 It is speaking of running backs, going back to running 0:04:38.520 --> 0:04:39.400 backs real quickly. 0:04:39.720 --> 0:04:43.919 You said you're not expecting anything significant. 0:04:43.240 --> 0:04:44.320 From Jake versus I am not. 0:04:44.680 --> 0:04:47.479 They're not worried across the board about Jake. I know, 0:04:47.560 --> 0:04:49.880 I know he'll probably receive treatment or maybe. 0:04:49.680 --> 0:04:52.160 Yeah, he will resent treat because of the hit that 0:04:52.240 --> 0:04:55.520 he took. I don't well, number one count him out 0:04:55.560 --> 0:04:58.880 of the preseason game on Saturday. He probably Yeah, either way, 0:04:58.920 --> 0:05:01.479 it wasn't gonna happen. Now it's definitely, it's definitely not. 0:05:01.520 --> 0:05:02.040 Going to happen. 0:05:02.400 --> 0:05:05.719 But when practices resume, I want to say Monday, there's 0:05:05.760 --> 0:05:08.440 a chance maybe he's held out of Monday's practice as 0:05:08.440 --> 0:05:11.280 a precaution. So but at this moment, I'm told they're 0:05:11.360 --> 0:05:14.120 not overly concerned with anything that's going on with Jake Ferguson. 0:05:14.200 --> 0:05:16.040 They just think he just needs some rest to give 0:05:16.080 --> 0:05:18.200 his muscles in his body time to recover, because yeah, 0:05:18.240 --> 0:05:18.839 he took one. 0:05:18.880 --> 0:05:23.159 Really quickly, so on that hit. If anybody's you know, listening, 0:05:23.240 --> 0:05:25.160 to this now and it's frustrated, like why is Jake 0:05:25.160 --> 0:05:27.960 Ferguson taking these hits in a in a practice at 0:05:28.000 --> 0:05:30.120 training camp. It was definitely one of those kind of 0:05:30.160 --> 0:05:33.320 freak accidents and Kennith Worry did not mean to hit 0:05:33.440 --> 0:05:37.640 him in that manner obviously, and after the play you 0:05:37.640 --> 0:05:40.120 could see Kenith Murray was not shaken up, but he 0:05:40.279 --> 0:05:41.800 was obviously regretful. 0:05:42.040 --> 0:05:45.359 It was and until that point after practice, we interviewed 0:05:45.400 --> 0:05:47.240 Kenneth Murray and he talked about it, and he said, 0:05:47.320 --> 0:05:48.920 absolutely was unintended. 0:05:49.000 --> 0:05:52.320 It was just one of those football plays bang bang played. 0:05:52.320 --> 0:05:55.480 It happened, and he expressed a lot of remorse and 0:05:56.200 --> 0:05:59.560 basically said, you never want to hurt a teammate like 0:05:59.600 --> 0:06:00.800 you never want to hurt the teammates. 0:06:00.839 --> 0:06:03.560 So remose Foe didn't mean to do it. It's football. 0:06:03.640 --> 0:06:04.160 It happened. 0:06:04.440 --> 0:06:07.360 Jake is mostly okay, give him some time to rest, 0:06:07.720 --> 0:06:11.280 but uh, Week one is not in jeopardy for Jake 0:06:11.279 --> 0:06:11.720 for example. 0:06:11.760 --> 0:06:12.080 That's good. 0:06:12.160 --> 0:06:14.240 And then I know Dak was asked about it, what 0:06:14.360 --> 0:06:16.200 did you see on that play whenever he was throwing 0:06:16.200 --> 0:06:17.640 the football, and he said, it's it's. 0:06:17.560 --> 0:06:19.120 A football player, it's a football. 0:06:18.800 --> 0:06:20.880 Downplayed it very much so, and it's even on Training 0:06:20.920 --> 0:06:22.720 Camp Live. I mean, we had it on Training Camp 0:06:22.800 --> 0:06:26.120 Live yesterday on Dallas Cowboy dot Com. Can go back 0:06:26.160 --> 0:06:28.160 and look at it. If you look, kind of make it, 0:06:28.440 --> 0:06:30.840 make it your own. But I think it was about 0:06:30.880 --> 0:06:31.480 as bang bang. 0:06:31.600 --> 0:06:32.240 It looked weird. 0:06:32.560 --> 0:06:34.280 It was a little weird the way he was up 0:06:34.320 --> 0:06:37.039 in and then he fell backwards and took his helmet off, 0:06:37.120 --> 0:06:38.680 and it was just kind of an odd moment, and 0:06:38.800 --> 0:06:40.240 so everybody kind of looked around and. 0:06:40.320 --> 0:06:41.760 Was like, what just happened? 0:06:42.160 --> 0:06:44.160 And then once he kind of got up and he 0:06:44.200 --> 0:06:46.080 even got back in the drill for a split second. 0:06:46.120 --> 0:06:47.720 Didn't run a route or anything, but he was back 0:06:47.720 --> 0:06:49.960 in the drill and then ultimately left practice. 0:06:50.000 --> 0:06:52.680 All indications are that he will be fine, just needs 0:06:52.680 --> 0:06:54.480 a little bit of risk, maybe a little bit of treatment. 0:06:54.520 --> 0:06:56.200 Like I said, he had the stem machine for those 0:06:56.240 --> 0:06:58.240 that don't know what the stem machine, and this muscle 0:06:58.279 --> 0:07:02.040 stimulator had to pack on had the contact. So I 0:07:02.520 --> 0:07:05.480 told he'll be fine. On a good news front, before 0:07:05.480 --> 0:07:06.640 I get back to the bad news. 0:07:06.720 --> 0:07:08.760 One year, Thomas has returned to practice. 0:07:09.440 --> 0:07:11.680 One year missed several practices as he was dealing with 0:07:11.800 --> 0:07:14.800 a leg issue, but he was back in practice, full contact, 0:07:14.880 --> 0:07:17.600 full goal. He said that he feels great. So that's 0:07:17.720 --> 0:07:20.480 great news for the safety unit as well as the 0:07:20.600 --> 0:07:23.520 cornerbacks unit because one year has seen some reps here 0:07:23.560 --> 0:07:26.239 and there helping with that nickel equation, trying to figure 0:07:26.280 --> 0:07:26.520 that out. 0:07:26.640 --> 0:07:28.280 Now back to the not so great news. 0:07:28.560 --> 0:07:33.000 So Jaydon Blue, he was carted initially to the medical 0:07:33.120 --> 0:07:37.840 tent after he was pulled down by Sam Williams, and 0:07:38.520 --> 0:07:41.240 so that was a little bit scary. But thereafter he 0:07:41.520 --> 0:07:44.440 walked under his own power to the locker room for 0:07:44.520 --> 0:07:47.920 further evaluation. And then after he got that evaluation, he 0:07:48.200 --> 0:07:51.000 was seen coming back out in a shirt T shirt 0:07:51.040 --> 0:07:53.520 and shorts to you know, peek out a few more 0:07:53.600 --> 0:07:56.760 plays in practice. So I'm told that there's not a 0:07:56.840 --> 0:07:59.360 high concern for him. They're still figuring out what that 0:07:59.480 --> 0:08:02.440 might be. I'm not on the training staff. If I 0:08:02.520 --> 0:08:04.360 had to guess, I think it's an ankle sprain of 0:08:04.440 --> 0:08:06.400 some sort. I'll try to get more information on if 0:08:06.440 --> 0:08:08.640 that's low, if that's high, if it's you know, grade 0:08:08.720 --> 0:08:09.239 one whatever. 0:08:09.520 --> 0:08:12.680 It came out last night, so the MRI said it 0:08:12.760 --> 0:08:15.360 was a bone bruise and it's heel bone, not an ankle, 0:08:15.960 --> 0:08:18.240 so it was it came out late last night that 0:08:18.560 --> 0:08:20.920 it was it was going to be. It's actually good 0:08:21.000 --> 0:08:22.840 news because since it's not an ankle sprain for a 0:08:22.960 --> 0:08:26.000 running back, bone bruise still hurts, don't get me wrong, but. 0:08:26.080 --> 0:08:29.400 It's much more easily. It's a lot, and he is 0:08:29.440 --> 0:08:29.880 in a boot. 0:08:30.440 --> 0:08:32.079 Yeah, I did see him in a boot, So there's that. 0:08:32.200 --> 0:08:34.400 And I know that when people hear the word boot, 0:08:34.400 --> 0:08:36.560 they're like, oh my god, oh my god. Boots are 0:08:36.679 --> 0:08:39.520 often used as precautionary is to help you keep from 0:08:39.559 --> 0:08:40.160 aggravating it. 0:08:40.240 --> 0:08:42.200 So bone bruise, let's go with that on the heel. 0:08:42.840 --> 0:08:46.120 But that ultimately means likely not taking the field against 0:08:46.160 --> 0:08:47.199 the Rams on Saturday. 0:08:47.440 --> 0:08:49.600 And of course that's a shame not to see him 0:08:49.640 --> 0:08:51.439 on the field this Saturday. But how much did you 0:08:51.480 --> 0:08:53.040 guys expect him to actually play? 0:08:53.520 --> 0:08:53.959 A lot? 0:08:54.960 --> 0:08:55.280 A lot? 0:08:56.400 --> 0:08:57.400 So it's very dispointing. 0:08:57.600 --> 0:09:01.520 Yeah, yeah, yeah, I expected a lot and a lot 0:09:01.600 --> 0:09:04.640 of Blue back and forth, maybe Vaughan if he's cleared, 0:09:04.920 --> 0:09:05.880 that would be those three. 0:09:06.000 --> 0:09:08.200 That room is thin right now. So this just say 0:09:08.320 --> 0:09:11.160 that most likely Blue doesn't play. Let's say because we 0:09:11.240 --> 0:09:13.920 didn't see Duceban doing team stuff yesterday. 0:09:14.080 --> 0:09:15.680 Let's just assume that he's not going to play. 0:09:17.320 --> 0:09:19.880 Mile Sanders is not playing. He's not definitely not playing 0:09:19.960 --> 0:09:22.640 Jamonte Williams if he's an easier leading starter at this point, 0:09:22.640 --> 0:09:24.280 I would imagine, so you're down to. 0:09:24.440 --> 0:09:28.199 Hunter Lifkey, and those are your two guys for a 0:09:28.240 --> 0:09:30.920 whole game. Take advantage Phil, that was going to be 0:09:31.000 --> 0:09:32.600 my hunter Liftkey. 0:09:33.440 --> 0:09:37.000 I think depending on how Ryan Schottenheimer views his position 0:09:37.120 --> 0:09:39.800 and use his role on this team, Phil MafA may 0:09:39.880 --> 0:09:43.160 have the best opportunity at hands stel reps here to 0:09:43.320 --> 0:09:45.240 have these reps and to take a lot of this time. 0:09:45.360 --> 0:09:47.360 And Josh, I know you've kind of kept an eye 0:09:47.400 --> 0:09:50.200 on Phil MafA throughout camp. I mean you think he's 0:09:50.240 --> 0:09:52.480 ready for that, You think he can step up into 0:09:52.520 --> 0:09:52.840 that role. 0:09:53.040 --> 0:09:56.240 There's nothing about his tape prior to camp that says 0:09:56.280 --> 0:09:58.960 this guy is like every down three down guy right now, 0:09:59.360 --> 0:10:02.920 But seeing him here it feels like I think that 0:10:03.200 --> 0:10:05.760 the vision is a lot better so far in camp. 0:10:05.960 --> 0:10:10.719 It's progressed at this point, but I think you have 0:10:10.840 --> 0:10:13.080 to split carries. I don't think that he's necessarily ready 0:10:13.120 --> 0:10:15.920 to take an entire game. I'd kind of like to 0:10:15.960 --> 0:10:17.800 see it just for the sake of seeing it right. 0:10:17.880 --> 0:10:20.360 We would like to get some things proven here, But 0:10:21.559 --> 0:10:24.079 I don't know that he's actually able to do that. 0:10:24.200 --> 0:10:27.000 Oh, he's going to have to. He may not have 0:10:27.080 --> 0:10:28.199 a choice, though, no choice. 0:10:28.320 --> 0:10:31.480 It may be twenty carries for MafA, fifteen for lipy 0:10:31.720 --> 0:10:32.840 five tires, but you. 0:10:32.920 --> 0:10:35.120 Know what, when it comes to MafA, you know, this 0:10:35.280 --> 0:10:38.120 is a great opportunity for Phil MafA to show some 0:10:38.320 --> 0:10:41.120 sort of versatility because you know, coming out of Clemson 0:10:41.240 --> 0:10:43.360 what we know him to be is the big bully, 0:10:43.440 --> 0:10:48.280 downhill runner. Okay, getting such a large chunk presumably of 0:10:48.360 --> 0:10:51.040 plays in the preseason opening against the Rams, he's going 0:10:51.080 --> 0:10:52.480 to be asked to do a lot of pass pro. 0:10:52.800 --> 0:10:54.400 He's going to be asked to catch the ball out 0:10:54.440 --> 0:10:58.200 of the backfield and do some damage in space if possible. 0:10:58.320 --> 0:11:01.679 So this again, like they said, not only is he 0:11:02.400 --> 0:11:05.720 going to get these chunk reps, but he has no choice. 0:11:06.040 --> 0:11:08.040 But because he's going to show him one thing or another, 0:11:08.120 --> 0:11:10.080 and it's either going to be great or it's going 0:11:10.160 --> 0:11:11.520 to be not so not so good. 0:11:11.720 --> 0:11:13.040 The thing that sucks about I know, we have to 0:11:13.040 --> 0:11:14.640 get to the rest of the injury report, because that's. 0:11:14.559 --> 0:11:17.200 Not That's the one thing you don't want is Joe 0:11:17.240 --> 0:11:18.240 Milton Leader. 0:11:18.880 --> 0:11:20.880 Shepley, Oh, Dakota Shepley. 0:11:20.960 --> 0:11:22.679 Yeah, and Terren still left, but he came back. 0:11:23.000 --> 0:11:24.800 Terry steells Shepley should be fine. 0:11:24.800 --> 0:11:27.440 But yeah, the thing that sucks about this for office, 0:11:27.640 --> 0:11:29.839 it's a great opportunity to show what he can do 0:11:29.880 --> 0:11:32.439 at the running back position, but the running back position 0:11:32.520 --> 0:11:35.920 isn't necessarily how he's going to make the team. Special 0:11:35.960 --> 0:11:38.319 teams is how he's going to make the team. Let's 0:11:38.360 --> 0:11:40.720 just be again, right, Special teams is how he's gonna 0:11:40.720 --> 0:11:43.280 make the team. And he's not going to be able 0:11:43.360 --> 0:11:45.959 to really do special teams because because of how many 0:11:46.000 --> 0:11:48.400 reps he has to take offensively, So what he needs 0:11:48.440 --> 0:11:50.719 to show most he can't because he has actually go 0:11:50.800 --> 0:11:54.199 to play his primary position. So it's actually a disadvantaced. 0:11:54.200 --> 0:11:56.200 It's a disadvantage for him. Yeah, because like he could, 0:11:56.320 --> 0:11:58.079 he could ball out at the running back position. But 0:11:58.120 --> 0:11:59.360 they're still going to say, okay, but what can he 0:11:59.400 --> 0:12:00.320 do for us on special games? 0:12:00.360 --> 0:12:00.560 Sure? 0:12:00.920 --> 0:12:01.480 Well, that's fair. 0:12:01.600 --> 0:12:05.280 Counterpoint is as we all know, particularly you haven't played 0:12:05.280 --> 0:12:08.360 in the league, is that a preseason is your auditioning 0:12:08.440 --> 0:12:10.319 for all thirty two teams, not just the team that 0:12:10.400 --> 0:12:14.319 you're on. So it granted valid point, he's going to 0:12:14.440 --> 0:12:16.280 have to try to prove something on special teams. 0:12:16.320 --> 0:12:18.720 But in lieu of that, because of the circumstances, if he. 0:12:18.760 --> 0:12:20.319 Does go out there and ball out at running back, 0:12:20.320 --> 0:12:22.040 they are thirty one other teams that are watching that 0:12:22.120 --> 0:12:22.560 same field. 0:12:22.600 --> 0:12:24.480 No for sure, I mean, but no matter what team 0:12:24.520 --> 0:12:26.560 he would posit potentially go to, if it wasn't going 0:12:26.600 --> 0:12:28.360 to be the Cowboys, he's still probably going to be 0:12:28.440 --> 0:12:30.640 at best a third running back, you know what I'm saying, 0:12:30.679 --> 0:12:32.640 Like most teams, most teams have their one and two, 0:12:33.000 --> 0:12:35.480 Like the one and two probably aren't playing. If they 0:12:35.520 --> 0:12:38.160 are playing, they're playing a series at most a quarter. Right, 0:12:38.400 --> 0:12:41.120 you saw Cincinnati plays their starters. You saw that coach 0:12:41.160 --> 0:12:42.880 plays some of their play their starters. So you saw 0:12:42.920 --> 0:12:44.959 some of these teams play their starters. But if you're 0:12:45.000 --> 0:12:47.360 gonna get picked up at the end of training camp, 0:12:47.400 --> 0:12:49.400 you're most likely going to be a third on the 0:12:49.480 --> 0:12:51.360 depth chart, which means that you have to. 0:12:51.400 --> 0:12:54.959 Do it special team. That's what I'm saying, Like, it's 0:12:55.000 --> 0:12:56.800 great for him, but it also sucks for him. 0:12:56.800 --> 0:12:58.880 At the same time, just make the best of the 0:12:58.920 --> 0:13:02.360 situation is what he can do, and then control control. 0:13:02.400 --> 0:13:03.800 If he balls out either way, he's gonna have a 0:13:03.840 --> 0:13:04.679 spot somewhere. 0:13:04.640 --> 0:13:07.760 Similar somewhere, So he's got plenty of motivation to go 0:13:07.840 --> 0:13:09.520 out there and try to show out against the Rams. 0:13:09.720 --> 0:13:13.360 Realistically, Isaiah, I know we've had these We've been on 0:13:13.440 --> 0:13:15.800 this show since twenty twenty together, and you've called a 0:13:15.840 --> 0:13:18.120 lot of preseason games over the last couple of years too. 0:13:18.920 --> 0:13:22.880 How much impact does the preseason actually have when it 0:13:23.000 --> 0:13:26.280 comes to building a roster or our joint practices with 0:13:26.320 --> 0:13:28.839 the Rams on Tuesday? Is that a bigger deal or 0:13:29.000 --> 0:13:31.760 is it the practices compounded over the course of a month. 0:13:31.800 --> 0:13:34.240 How much does how much weight does a preseason game 0:13:34.320 --> 0:13:35.040 still actually care? 0:13:35.160 --> 0:13:37.240 It depends on the organization, It depends on their coach. 0:13:37.679 --> 0:13:38.480 So we're gonna learn a lot. 0:13:38.600 --> 0:13:40.599 We're gonna learn a lot because you we hear this 0:13:40.679 --> 0:13:42.600 competition word a lot around here. 0:13:42.679 --> 0:13:43.120 Nowadays. 0:13:43.440 --> 0:13:46.920 We've seen the guys get valued, right, We've seen them 0:13:46.960 --> 0:13:49.120 get their their pay dirt in terms of moving up 0:13:49.160 --> 0:13:52.440 the depth chart in practice, But does that really result 0:13:52.520 --> 0:13:55.160 in them earning a roster spot when it comes down 0:13:55.200 --> 0:13:56.120 to the final fifty three. 0:13:56.280 --> 0:13:58.679 That's what's left to be seen with this coaching staff. 0:13:58.960 --> 0:14:01.079 Typically, you go to a preseason game, and I want 0:14:01.080 --> 0:14:03.360 people at home to understand how difficult this is for 0:14:03.480 --> 0:14:06.520 these players. There's fifty three roster spots. You go into 0:14:06.559 --> 0:14:10.120 training camp with ninety plus players. You go into these 0:14:10.200 --> 0:14:14.920 games as an employee knowing that there may be five 0:14:15.000 --> 0:14:19.720 available spots. Maybe there might be five spots for you 0:14:19.800 --> 0:14:21.720 to go get, and those spots are going to be 0:14:21.880 --> 0:14:25.840 based upon the positional need in terms of death right. 0:14:25.960 --> 0:14:28.720 So imagine being. 0:14:28.760 --> 0:14:32.160 Ninety guys or not ninety guys, call it forty guys 0:14:32.560 --> 0:14:35.120 going for five spots, and you know ninety percent of 0:14:35.200 --> 0:14:36.280 us are going to give get fired. 0:14:37.320 --> 0:14:42.320 It is the most difficult thing to do as an employee. 0:14:42.520 --> 0:14:45.320 As an athlete, however, you want to reframe it to 0:14:45.520 --> 0:14:48.240 give it your absolute awe, knowing that your all might 0:14:48.320 --> 0:14:52.440 not be enough, but you're literally working your tail off 0:14:52.600 --> 0:14:55.160 trying to make an impression. When even if you make 0:14:55.160 --> 0:14:57.920 an impression to that team. Now we're not gonna talk 0:14:57.920 --> 0:14:59.480 about the rest of the thirty one teams, but to 0:14:59.600 --> 0:15:01.520 that team, appreciate you. 0:15:01.760 --> 0:15:02.440 But yeah, we didn't. 0:15:02.600 --> 0:15:05.440 We never had a spot for you anyway, Thus is 0:15:05.520 --> 0:15:08.600 the business. You come out and you do it, you control, 0:15:08.680 --> 0:15:10.720 you can't control. You put your best on the practice field, 0:15:10.720 --> 0:15:12.960 you put your best on preseason film. And that's why 0:15:13.080 --> 0:15:17.080 for me, I will never never ever subscribe to or 0:15:17.400 --> 0:15:19.400 be able to wrap my head around those who care 0:15:19.440 --> 0:15:20.920 about preseason wins and losses. 0:15:20.960 --> 0:15:22.920 I don't care. Don't ever tweet me about it, don't 0:15:22.920 --> 0:15:25.320 ever talk to me about it. I do not care. 0:15:25.640 --> 0:15:28.360 What I care about is the unbridled. 0:15:27.920 --> 0:15:30.640 Evaluation of these guys, these fringe guys who are trying 0:15:30.680 --> 0:15:32.960 to get those five six or soul spots, who are 0:15:33.040 --> 0:15:34.440 gonna go out there and they're gonna lay it out, 0:15:34.640 --> 0:15:37.200 lay it all on the line. And I am interested 0:15:37.280 --> 0:15:40.760 in seeing who can make things difficult decision wise at 0:15:40.880 --> 0:15:44.560 certain positions. What if pil Maffa blows up against the 0:15:45.080 --> 0:15:47.880 Rams and then in the subsequent preseason game, what if 0:15:48.160 --> 0:15:50.040 not to say that that would be enough for him 0:15:50.120 --> 0:15:53.400 to outrank let's say, Javonte Williams, a healthy Miles Sanders 0:15:53.440 --> 0:15:55.920 and then Jay and Blue. But doesn't it make the 0:15:56.000 --> 0:15:59.240 conversation much more intriguing because now it's like, because we 0:15:59.520 --> 0:16:01.160 used to have this conversation When I say used to, 0:16:01.200 --> 0:16:04.400 it was fairly recently. It was the Elite Davis conversation, right, 0:16:04.480 --> 0:16:05.960 you remember the relape Davis conversation. 0:16:06.000 --> 0:16:07.680 It's like it, do you go with Malik? Do you 0:16:07.760 --> 0:16:08.200 go with Rico? 0:16:08.320 --> 0:16:10.160 That was when Zee and Tony were still here and 0:16:10.280 --> 0:16:14.080 they ended up releasing Melik and Twitter verse went crazy, Oh, 0:16:14.160 --> 0:16:16.480 there's no way Malik's going to clear waivers. Any clear 0:16:16.520 --> 0:16:19.520 waivers turned up on the practice squad. So right, so 0:16:19.640 --> 0:16:22.080 things happen, so it'll be interesting. But the preseason for 0:16:22.200 --> 0:16:24.640 me is you really if you're watching as a fan, 0:16:24.760 --> 0:16:27.680 be it casual or you're analytical or you're an analyst, 0:16:27.800 --> 0:16:30.800 like we are trying to key in on these guys 0:16:30.920 --> 0:16:35.280 performances because this these guys are fighting for, like Isaiah said, 0:16:35.280 --> 0:16:36.760 they're fighting for their lives right now. 0:16:37.080 --> 0:16:40.720 They're fighting for reps even yeah, seriously for reps here 0:16:40.840 --> 0:16:43.360 on the practice field. I mean, it's it's about every 0:16:43.360 --> 0:16:45.480 rep for them. And it's about the mental capacity too. 0:16:45.560 --> 0:16:47.680 It's one thing that if you're physically able to do it, 0:16:47.840 --> 0:16:50.680 it's another thing if you're mentally prepared for the pressure 0:16:50.760 --> 0:16:54.280 that even a preseason games, it means not a lot 0:16:54.360 --> 0:16:57.760 to those out there statistically, but each and every rep 0:16:57.840 --> 0:16:58.640 is someone's dream. 0:16:58.880 --> 0:17:01.800 I do respect this coach staff. I know we got 0:17:01.880 --> 0:17:02.040 to move. 0:17:02.240 --> 0:17:04.720 I respect this coaching staff for not bringing in excess 0:17:04.880 --> 0:17:08.120 players to positions that would never make the roster. 0:17:09.119 --> 0:17:11.840 I respecting a quarterback seriously. 0:17:12.240 --> 0:17:14.560 I mean, like, there's three quarterbacks here. All three quarterbacks 0:17:14.560 --> 0:17:16.600 are gonna make the team the most part. I mean 0:17:16.600 --> 0:17:17.240 that's what it's gonna be. 0:17:17.480 --> 0:17:17.600 Right. 0:17:18.080 --> 0:17:19.840 You're not bringing in five quarterbacks because you know thisice 0:17:19.840 --> 0:17:21.200 other two aren't gonna make it. You didn't bring in 0:17:21.280 --> 0:17:25.000 extra kickers. I was just about you brought in what 0:17:25.160 --> 0:17:28.160 you needed at the positions that you need it. There's 0:17:28.200 --> 0:17:30.639 gonna be one spot that's getting fought for in the 0:17:30.680 --> 0:17:33.080 offensive line. It's probably gonna be two spots, two or 0:17:33.080 --> 0:17:35.320 three spots fought for in a D line. The linebacker 0:17:35.400 --> 0:17:39.600 room is really competitive. Defensive backs, you might have one 0:17:39.680 --> 0:17:43.040 spot available at the quarterback position, maybe one at save safety. 0:17:43.200 --> 0:17:45.159 I think safety is really set at this point, so 0:17:45.400 --> 0:17:47.199 so no safeties that are competing or trying to are 0:17:47.240 --> 0:17:47.920 going to get the spot. 0:17:48.000 --> 0:17:49.280 So you're really competing that cornerback. 0:17:49.280 --> 0:17:51.760 You know what I'm saying, Like there's one what when 0:17:51.800 --> 0:17:54.400 you're when you're training, when you're practicing out here, you're competing, 0:17:54.680 --> 0:17:58.560 that's literally what's on your mind. Like if you're a number, 0:17:58.760 --> 0:18:01.720 you know they're gonna carry five ors. If you're counting, 0:18:01.800 --> 0:18:05.480 you're on a dep you're like, okay, okay, Cee, George October, 0:18:09.440 --> 0:18:11.399 you know what I mean. Like, you know you're fighting 0:18:11.520 --> 0:18:14.359 for one spot. So it is so hard that you 0:18:14.400 --> 0:18:16.200 get you go out there in the quarterback. We've seen 0:18:16.200 --> 0:18:19.119 it every year, Jayleen Marina Cropper has a heck of 0:18:19.160 --> 0:18:21.440 a camp every freaking year, and right still around because 0:18:21.600 --> 0:18:22.680 he's still around because of that. 0:18:22.920 --> 0:18:24.439 But when it comes to the games, if the quarterback 0:18:24.480 --> 0:18:26.800 can't get you the ball, did you not do your job? No, 0:18:26.960 --> 0:18:27.840 he couldn't give me the ball. 0:18:28.800 --> 0:18:30.200 No, it's a big part of it. 0:18:30.240 --> 0:18:32.320 I mean, that's a great point because you bring up 0:18:32.320 --> 0:18:35.280 all the guys who have flashed in the preseason previously, 0:18:35.400 --> 0:18:37.960 and they're either one of two elements. They're either not 0:18:38.160 --> 0:18:41.080 here still and they're either playing somewhere else or they're 0:18:41.119 --> 0:18:43.920 no longer in the league, or they are here and 0:18:44.000 --> 0:18:45.800 they've earned the right to stick around because of what 0:18:45.840 --> 0:18:47.359 they've done in the preseason in the past. 0:18:47.400 --> 0:18:48.600 You earn another training camp. 0:18:48.520 --> 0:18:51.600 You earn another example of Another example of that is 0:18:51.720 --> 0:18:54.119 Keymon Hall. Right, he was a rookie last season, and 0:18:54.240 --> 0:18:56.200 the reason Keymon Hall is still here is because of 0:18:56.320 --> 0:18:59.200 the pick six in the preseason, right, that he showed something. 0:18:59.440 --> 0:19:01.600 So he's still here and now he gets an opportunity 0:19:01.720 --> 0:19:03.320 to show again. He even got. 0:19:03.240 --> 0:19:07.040 Cut initially yes and return to the rest of squad 0:19:07.160 --> 0:19:08.840 and then has continued to fight his way back in. 0:19:09.000 --> 0:19:11.720 The journey is the journey sometimes this is this is it. 0:19:11.800 --> 0:19:14.800 Is the journey, and it's really a long journey for 0:19:14.840 --> 0:19:17.480 a lot of these guys. Speaking of the journey, we've 0:19:17.520 --> 0:19:19.879 made the journey out here to training camp. Good, it's 0:19:19.920 --> 0:19:22.359 summer camp, right.

But the entire time 0:23:55.040 --> 0:23:57.240 that he's saying this I could not help but be 0:23:57.359 --> 0:24:00.879 distracted by the carrots and his tee. By carrots, I 0:24:00.960 --> 0:24:03.920 do not mean that he had just finished eating lunch. Okay, 0:24:04.080 --> 0:24:07.600 I'm not talking about vegetables.

We were eating dinner and a group of 0:26:32.880 --> 0:26:34.840 people like kind of was finished with their food and 0:26:34.840 --> 0:26:38.480 they were walking out back behind the cafeteria, their cafeteria 0:26:38.840 --> 0:26:42.240 out here at training camp. And sure enough, as they're exiting, 0:26:43.000 --> 0:26:47.600 they see an unlikely combo playing corn hole together out 0:26:47.640 --> 0:26:50.160 here at camp. And then unlikely combo was Chris Beam, 0:26:50.280 --> 0:26:53.399 who runs our podcast as a phenomenal job, shooting, editing, 0:26:53.680 --> 0:26:57.320 everything with Dallas Cowboys media and then all pro wide receivers. 0:26:58.560 --> 0:27:01.080 Just completely random, and so we walked up. 0:27:01.119 --> 0:27:02.800 They were like, how did this come about? 0:27:03.359 --> 0:27:07.440 And I mean, Beam, you can attest to this yourself, 0:27:07.520 --> 0:27:10.320 but you walked up ceedee Lamb wanted to play. 0:27:10.400 --> 0:27:11.359 You were already playing. 0:27:11.720 --> 0:27:13.280 Did he challenge you?

The second game he 0:28:23.160 --> 0:28:25.159 was down ten nothing. He got me the second By 0:28:25.200 --> 0:28:28.119 this point, would be honest with you, that probably saved 0:28:28.160 --> 0:28:30.280 me a little bit because if I would have whipped 0:28:30.359 --> 0:28:32.160 him that game, it would have been over. 0:28:32.840 --> 0:28:35.159 But he now he's okay, I can get him right. 0:28:35.800 --> 0:28:38.440 So then he's like, all right, we got rubber match. 0:28:39.800 --> 0:28:43.760 So I whipped that. Now now he's hooked. 0:28:43.880 --> 0:28:45.240 Now he's like, I need another game. 0:28:45.680 --> 0:28:47.840 I got him mat and now the blow. 0:28:48.040 --> 0:28:50.280 It was the best of seven series and Chris one 0:28:50.360 --> 0:28:50.720 and five. 0:28:51.040 --> 0:28:52.880 It was like no, it was like five, it was 0:28:53.000 --> 0:28:53.440 four one. 0:28:53.600 --> 0:28:56.000 It was the final talent for one and and by 0:28:56.040 --> 0:28:57.680 the end of it, Beam was just taking him. 0:28:58.200 --> 0:28:59.320 It was it was kind of fun. 0:28:59.600 --> 0:29:04.080 Was to me, I was why was he dragging bags in? 0:29:04.520 --> 0:29:07.440 I mean he was at the end he was saying that, man. 0:29:07.400 --> 0:29:10.160 You're the luckiest gotten like I've been doing it all 0:29:10.240 --> 0:29:10.600 night too. 0:29:12.120 --> 0:29:14.880 So the rule is when Ceedee Lamb goes off for 0:29:15.040 --> 0:29:18.480 one fifty and three totties against the Eagles, it's because 0:29:18.640 --> 0:29:20.480 being hissed him off and training. 0:29:22.920 --> 0:29:27.880 For Beam yesterday. He wants a rematch. But I mean, Josh, 0:29:27.960 --> 0:29:30.120 it was there was a crowd that got involved. 0:29:30.160 --> 0:29:33.240 There are probably twenty five people at one point watching 0:29:33.800 --> 0:29:35.680 in cornhole match between Beam and. 0:29:38.560 --> 0:29:41.480 You can't post it, though, secret foot happen. 0:29:41.520 --> 0:29:43.560 It'll be in the deep Blue one day write a 0:29:43.600 --> 0:29:45.320 documentary's cornhole. 0:29:45.360 --> 0:29:47.520 It's called Poetry in Motion.

And you 0:37:56.640 --> 0:37:59.360 can give me an offensive player, a defensive player, and 0:37:59.360 --> 0:38:00.960 then try and give me a special teams guy, because 0:38:01.000 --> 0:38:03.920 we talked about the importance of special teams and in 0:38:04.080 --> 0:38:08.200 these preseason games, not a specialist, but a preseason special 0:38:08.239 --> 0:38:09.080 teams guy to watch. 0:38:09.200 --> 0:38:10.319 Who wants to start us off? 0:38:10.560 --> 0:38:12.440 I can kick us off. Let me do uh, let 0:38:12.480 --> 0:38:19.120 me start offense? And okay, yeah that was clean. 0:38:19.239 --> 0:38:19.600 I like that. 0:38:19.840 --> 0:38:21.440 He's a bar all right, Let me start off with 0:38:21.440 --> 0:38:21.920 the offense. 0:38:22.320 --> 0:38:22.440 Uh. 0:38:22.600 --> 0:38:25.759 Nate Thomas, all right, he's going to be up. He's 0:38:25.760 --> 0:38:27.319 not going to be going up against the Jared Versus 0:38:27.360 --> 0:38:30.959 of the world. Here in the preseason. But he's gotta 0:38:31.080 --> 0:38:32.600 go push them dudes around. He's got a game the 0:38:32.680 --> 0:38:36.279 confidence back after a poor showing. Arguably i'd say on 0:38:36.800 --> 0:38:39.160 on Tuesday, Uh, just get out there and push them 0:38:39.239 --> 0:38:41.000 dudes around. Like Nate Thomas is going to be one 0:38:41.040 --> 0:38:44.399 to keep an eye on. As far as defense, Shamar James, 0:38:46.760 --> 0:38:48.239 I do not need to see him come off the 0:38:48.280 --> 0:38:53.200 field for anything. Wow, every snap on defense unless he's 0:38:53.200 --> 0:38:54.880 playing incredible, and then pull him off the field and 0:38:54.960 --> 0:38:56.960 take his pads off. No, I need to see it. 0:38:57.120 --> 0:38:58.440 You want to keep it going. 0:38:58.520 --> 0:39:00.680 Okay, I know it's preseason, but even going, I just 0:39:00.760 --> 0:39:02.920 want to see a good game. Really, No, but I 0:39:03.000 --> 0:39:04.640 really want to see a lot of US Shamar James. 0:39:06.200 --> 0:39:09.360 For me offensively, I'm going Trey Shawn Holden. 0:39:10.160 --> 0:39:12.960 I want to see if treyhon we talked about if 0:39:13.000 --> 0:39:17.080 you're looking at five wide receivers, maybe six, there's really 0:39:17.120 --> 0:39:18.480 only one spot up for grabs. 0:39:18.880 --> 0:39:19.800 Who gets that spot? 0:39:20.120 --> 0:39:22.680 Trey Shon Holden came on strong in camp and he's 0:39:22.760 --> 0:39:27.120 consistently making at least one splash play each day. It 0:39:27.160 --> 0:39:29.719 feels like sometimes multiple splash plays. I want to see 0:39:29.719 --> 0:39:32.760 if he can transfer that onto the playing field. Against 0:39:32.800 --> 0:39:35.000 the n actual NFL opponent, the undrafted, you know, free 0:39:35.000 --> 0:39:37.279 agent out of Oregon. He and Junior Adams, the wide 0:39:37.320 --> 0:39:39.400 receivers coach. Let's see if that chemistry keeps going. I 0:39:39.440 --> 0:39:43.279 want to see that defensively, easy does it? 0:39:43.560 --> 0:39:46.120 I want to see Donovan az Roku and I cannot 0:39:46.200 --> 0:39:48.800 wait to see that young man unleashed. 0:39:48.840 --> 0:39:50.920 Under the bright lights. I want to see the same thing. 0:39:51.040 --> 0:39:52.799 If he can translate. Now we know that he can 0:39:52.880 --> 0:39:54.400 because of what he did at Boston College. But this 0:39:54.560 --> 0:39:56.719 is a different level of the game. Okay, so let's 0:39:56.760 --> 0:39:59.440 see if he can. He can, you know, send that 0:39:59.520 --> 0:40:03.600 trajectory restraight to the moon. Special teams wise, Special teams wise, 0:40:03.600 --> 0:40:06.360 I'm going Shamar James. I do want to see Shamar 0:40:06.480 --> 0:40:08.840 James on defense, needless to say, for all the reasons 0:40:08.920 --> 0:40:11.279 Josh said, and these guys want to see him as well, 0:40:11.400 --> 0:40:14.000 But Jamar James is he was a special teams monster 0:40:14.040 --> 0:40:16.640 at Florida, and I think that he's one that Sortsen 0:40:16.760 --> 0:40:18.120 is going to absolutely love. So I do want to 0:40:18.120 --> 0:40:21.920 see what Shamar James does on special teams. Nice selection, 0:40:22.400 --> 0:40:23.920 even though we have a thief in the night over 0:40:24.000 --> 0:40:30.000 the Offensively, I'm going with Tyler Neville. 0:40:30.719 --> 0:40:31.799 I like him. I like him. 0:40:32.760 --> 0:40:36.560 I think that he honestly, if given a true opportunity 0:40:36.920 --> 0:40:38.759 through in these three preseason games, I think he can 0:40:38.840 --> 0:40:40.440 challenge Hunter Lifkey for his position. 0:40:40.600 --> 0:40:44.640 Wow, I really do. I you just said it. I 0:40:44.800 --> 0:40:45.719 did say with my chest. 0:40:45.760 --> 0:40:47.680 So that goes back to what we were talking about earlier. 0:40:47.719 --> 0:40:50.120 How does Brian Schottenheimer slow the full back position? 0:40:50.280 --> 0:40:50.440 Yep? 0:40:50.520 --> 0:40:52.480 And then if he doesn't view the full back position 0:40:52.600 --> 0:40:54.160 very highly, where does he put lift? 0:40:54.320 --> 0:40:56.280 And I'll ad a little context of that. Hunter Lifkey, 0:40:56.320 --> 0:40:58.080 We've seen him as a fullback, We've seen him as 0:40:58.080 --> 0:40:59.880 a running back. We have not seen him as a 0:41:00.239 --> 0:41:03.840 huge contributor in the special teams. Yeah, okay, Tyler Neville 0:41:03.960 --> 0:41:07.759 is a true tight end that has the mentality of 0:41:07.800 --> 0:41:10.320 a fullback and has the grit of a fullback. 0:41:10.440 --> 0:41:10.560 Right. 0:41:10.719 --> 0:41:12.520 I don't think he could really play a running back position, 0:41:12.680 --> 0:41:13.759 and I think that he's gonna be a heck of 0:41:13.760 --> 0:41:14.919 a contributor on special teams. 0:41:15.200 --> 0:41:17.200 So I think that Tyler Neville has. 0:41:17.239 --> 0:41:21.240 More versatility than Hunter Lipkey does, So if given opportunity, 0:41:21.280 --> 0:41:23.640 I'm looking forward to seeing what he can do offensively 0:41:24.000 --> 0:41:25.240 for the Cowboys in the preseason. 0:41:25.640 --> 0:41:29.719 Defensively, I think the easy one with for me would 0:41:29.760 --> 0:41:30.760 be Mazzi Smith. 0:41:31.160 --> 0:41:32.759 Yeah, he's gonna play. 0:41:34.640 --> 0:41:36.480 I mean it's the third year. We've talked about it. 0:41:36.520 --> 0:41:38.480 We talked about it earlier in the week. Third year. 0:41:38.640 --> 0:41:40.600 Regardless of where you're drafted, you need to show something 0:41:41.120 --> 0:41:44.200 and I have I personally, to date, have not seen 0:41:44.360 --> 0:41:47.440 enough regardless of where he was drafted. I think he 0:41:47.560 --> 0:41:48.880 needs to have a heck of a showing in these 0:41:48.920 --> 0:41:51.960 three preseason games or the Dallas Cowboys need to approach 0:41:52.040 --> 0:41:56.399 that position group and whatever becomes available during training camp 0:41:56.520 --> 0:41:59.080 or via trade, I think that they have to address 0:41:59.120 --> 0:42:01.600 that room if he doesn't show what they need to see. 0:42:01.800 --> 0:42:05.920 Special teams wise, special teams wise, I am going with 0:42:06.200 --> 0:42:10.399 who did I have? Oh Tyrus week He's a dog, Yeah, 0:42:10.440 --> 0:42:12.960 he's a dog. He's a dog on defense all through preseason. 0:42:13.000 --> 0:42:15.600 We've seen it every year he's around. That's why he's around. 0:42:15.680 --> 0:42:17.880 And he's a he's a one of the most versatile 0:42:17.920 --> 0:42:20.040 special teamers course special teams that you can have. So 0:42:20.400 --> 0:42:22.600 I look forward to seeing him continue to have good 0:42:22.600 --> 0:42:23.480 showings in a preseason. 0:42:23.560 --> 0:42:25.680 A guy that nobody really talks about either like he's 0:42:25.719 --> 0:42:29.000 kind of under the radar, but consistently Yeah, well until 0:42:29.120 --> 0:42:32.040 right now, and Isaiah brings up a good point about him, 0:42:32.040 --> 0:42:35.200 but you see him constantly bring it in every practice. 0:42:35.840 --> 0:42:38.239 I forget to actually give you my special teams player 0:42:38.320 --> 0:42:40.759 to watch out for. So on the depth chart, you 0:42:40.840 --> 0:42:43.560 have Kavanti Turpin, Juania Thomas, and then Jalen Cropper as 0:42:43.600 --> 0:42:46.040 your third returner. I don't think you're going to see Kavante. 0:42:46.040 --> 0:42:48.280 I don't think you're going to see Janie Jalen Cropper. 0:42:48.440 --> 0:42:49.759 Let's see what he does on special teams. 0:42:49.800 --> 0:42:50.359 That'd be fun. 0:42:50.640 --> 0:42:53.440 Yeah, he's he's been back returning kicks and stuff. Tolbert 0:42:53.480 --> 0:42:54.440 I know he has done it too, but you're not 0:42:54.480 --> 0:42:55.160 gonna see Tolbert. 0:42:55.200 --> 0:42:56.840 No, no, no way, no. 0:42:57.000 --> 0:42:58.480 I like that. I want to see how he contributes 0:42:58.680 --> 0:43:01.319 in that role. Obviously it's Avante Turpin's role. 0:43:01.440 --> 0:43:03.359 Yeah, but he's done in the past. 0:43:03.440 --> 0:43:05.160 He's been in these preseason games and I think he 0:43:05.239 --> 0:43:07.920 had a mistake one of these preseason games, either last 0:43:08.000 --> 0:43:09.960 year or the year before, where he muffed upon or 0:43:09.960 --> 0:43:11.840 at Kike or whatever it was. I think he fumbled 0:43:11.840 --> 0:43:14.640 the guests to the turn. One of those things. I'll 0:43:14.640 --> 0:43:15.960 have to go back and look at it. But yeah, 0:43:16.400 --> 0:43:18.720 for a chance to make the roster and to continue 0:43:18.800 --> 0:43:21.920 staying around, that's going to be big for him. I'll 0:43:21.960 --> 0:43:25.240 stick with wide receiver from my offensive one, Jonathan Mingo. 0:43:25.600 --> 0:43:27.520 I want to see what Jonathan Mingo has because he's 0:43:27.560 --> 0:43:29.319 not going to be off to the side. He's going 0:43:29.400 --> 0:43:31.520 to get legitimate reps and he's one of these guys 0:43:31.560 --> 0:43:35.040 that you would anticipate to compete for that wide receiver 0:43:35.080 --> 0:43:37.399 three or four spot on the roster. But he will 0:43:37.440 --> 0:43:39.600 play a lot in the preseason again. Talked to him 0:43:39.640 --> 0:43:41.319 yesterday at post practice as well. 0:43:41.440 --> 0:43:41.880 What did he say. 0:43:41.960 --> 0:43:44.000 He said that he was swimming a little bit in 0:43:44.080 --> 0:43:47.080 terms offensively understanding where to be, what to do. He 0:43:47.160 --> 0:43:50.359 said he feels much more comfortable and has a clear 0:43:50.480 --> 0:43:53.160 understanding of what the playbook is and where he fits 0:43:53.200 --> 0:43:53.880 in into playbook. 0:43:53.960 --> 0:43:54.960 And that's what I want to see. I want to 0:43:54.960 --> 0:43:58.399 see where he fits, where he's able to maneuver onto 0:43:58.440 --> 0:44:00.920 that offensive side. Because it's not to be Dak Prescott 0:44:00.960 --> 0:44:03.720 throwing the football, but if Jonathan Mingo is a vertical threat, 0:44:03.840 --> 0:44:06.080 you know who's throwing in the football, Joe Milton. 0:44:06.640 --> 0:44:07.880 He can throw the ball pretty far. 0:44:08.080 --> 0:44:08.319 Ninety. 0:44:08.920 --> 0:44:09.800 That's what he said yesterday. 0:44:09.800 --> 0:44:11.680 He said you can throw it. He got more than 0:44:11.719 --> 0:44:14.520 that defense. 0:44:14.560 --> 0:44:17.560 I want to go defensive line. I want to see J. Toya. 0:44:17.880 --> 0:44:20.080 I want to see Toya because some ups and we've 0:44:20.120 --> 0:44:22.120 seen some downs. I want to see how consistent he 0:44:22.200 --> 0:44:24.080 can remain. You want to see what they how he 0:44:24.200 --> 0:44:24.879 impacts the game. 0:44:24.960 --> 0:44:31.799 Hey, we got who got what are you doing? Okay? 0:44:32.000 --> 0:44:35.280 What we gotta ask you got to ask once Kyle finishes, 0:44:35.280 --> 0:44:36.600 you got to give her the question, did you finish 0:44:36.640 --> 0:44:38.400 your Okay? 0:44:38.480 --> 0:44:38.839 So wait? 0:44:38.880 --> 0:44:42.239 One more special teams, Zion Childress. Okay, we've seen him 0:44:42.280 --> 0:44:43.719 as a gunner a couple of times. They've kind of 0:44:43.760 --> 0:44:45.239 moved them in and out, trying to find out where 0:44:45.280 --> 0:44:47.160 he fits. I want to see what Childress has. But 0:44:47.320 --> 0:44:51.280 my my three were MINGO on the defense, defense, J Toya, 0:44:51.600 --> 0:44:52.520 and then special teams. 0:44:52.680 --> 0:44:55.319 Was uh I just. 0:44:56.840 --> 0:44:57.960 Ts I just said it. 0:44:58.440 --> 0:44:59.120 I'm throwing off. 0:44:59.200 --> 0:44:59.560 What do you do? 0:44:59.680 --> 0:45:02.279 What you had a podcast this morning? 0:45:02.560 --> 0:45:02.759 Yeah? 0:45:06.719 --> 0:45:09.920 Okay, So the question is three players the watch in 0:45:09.960 --> 0:45:12.440 the preseason game, one offense, one defense, and then one 0:45:12.480 --> 0:45:13.080 special teams. 0:45:13.160 --> 0:45:14.080 But not a specialist. 0:45:14.280 --> 0:45:18.400 I'm gonna go offense, John Stevens because obviously that's a 0:45:18.480 --> 0:45:21.000 lot of Luke school Maker, Brevian span Ford. 0:45:21.400 --> 0:45:21.840 We don't know. 0:45:22.160 --> 0:45:24.279 Obviously with injuries, he's not gonna be playing. So this 0:45:24.400 --> 0:45:27.200 is a big day for John Stevens to get some opportunities. 0:45:27.360 --> 0:45:30.240 Defense who this one is tough. 0:45:30.680 --> 0:45:31.200 I'm gonna go. 0:45:31.920 --> 0:45:34.000 Yeah, I'm gonna go Donovan as Roku. I mean this 0:45:34.160 --> 0:45:37.160 is obviously second round pick for the Dallas Cowboys. He's 0:45:37.200 --> 0:45:40.440 been flashing throughout camp, making some really good plays and 0:45:40.520 --> 0:45:44.440 that defensive end room is loaded. Dante Fowler, Sam Williams, 0:45:44.520 --> 0:45:47.480 Marshawn neland improving as well. You don't really know there 0:45:47.640 --> 0:45:49.960 what you have as far as playing alongside Michael Parsons. 0:45:50.040 --> 0:45:51.279 Whenever that deal does get done. 0:45:51.480 --> 0:45:53.279 Special teams, I'm gonna go. 0:45:54.880 --> 0:45:58.359 Elijah Clark. I'm gonna go Elijah Clark because he's been 0:45:58.480 --> 0:46:01.640 some gaining some opportunities that safety, getting some first team 0:46:01.680 --> 0:46:05.960 reps with Jane Thomas not injured and not playing for 0:46:06.000 --> 0:46:08.120 a little bit, but he was back in practice yesterday. 0:46:08.239 --> 0:46:10.359 But just talk about a Lojah Clark. That's a way 0:46:10.400 --> 0:46:11.840 for him to get on the field as a rookie 0:46:11.920 --> 0:46:12.840 and I'm excited to see you. 0:46:13.239 --> 0:46:16.800 So this is day nineteen for you out here nineteen 0:46:16.880 --> 0:46:18.719 for you over the entire time. 0:46:19.160 --> 0:46:22.719 Nicole hutcheson if you don't follow her, already follow her 0:46:23.000 --> 0:46:25.400 and the girls Stock Boys Stock podcast that comes on 0:46:26.160 --> 0:46:29.239 the Dallas Cowboys Radio Network.
