Speaker 4: Of the Dallas Cowboys, Hailey sat and obviously not in today,

12
00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:39,360
Speaker 4: but I'm feeling it in the host seats, so hopefully

13
00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:42,840
Speaker 4: I do with justice. Meaning I'm here alongside two amazing girls,

14
00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:46,120
Speaker 4: Aisha Morrison here and Christie Skills up here to my right. Christy,

15
00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:46,599
Speaker 4: how are you doing?

16
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:49,920
Speaker 6: Good morning? Doing great? OTAs starting to look a little

17
00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:52,000
Speaker 6: more like football, not totally yet, but.

18
00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:54,160
Speaker 4: It's that part of the off season where the ball

19
00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:56,120
Speaker 4: slowly starts to roll a little bit faster, you know

20
00:00:56,160 --> 00:00:56,560
Speaker 4: what I mean.

21
00:00:56,760 --> 00:00:57,920
Speaker 5: Aisha, how is your morning?

22
00:00:58,120 --> 00:00:58,960
Speaker 6: Buh?

23
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:01,480
Speaker 5: Thanks morning that you know what?

24
00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:03,560
Speaker 4: The weather's hat nice, it's about to be hot.

25
00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:06,119
Speaker 6: Yeah, they're started disrespectful, but.

26
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:09,039
Speaker 5: Hi, y'all, don't get me started. You know what.

27
00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:12,160
Speaker 4: I went home last weekend for my little cousin's graduation.

28
00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:16,000
Speaker 4: And I think the biggest thing that I adjusted to

29
00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:18,959
Speaker 4: moving here was the humidity and the dry heat. So

30
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:20,679
Speaker 4: miss my dry heat.

31
00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:21,479
Speaker 5: But it's all good.

32
00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:24,600
Speaker 4: So Christy mentioned earlier, we're in the time of the

33
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:26,720
Speaker 4: off season where things are starting to roll a little

34
00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:29,880
Speaker 4: bit more, Christy, NFL owners meetings happened this week and.

35
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:30,880
Speaker 5: A lot happened.

36
00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:33,160
Speaker 4: To say, at the very least you had texted me

37
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:35,360
Speaker 4: that there was a lot to talk about, started looking

38
00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:35,800
Speaker 4: into it.

39
00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:37,919
Speaker 5: Surely there was a lot to talk about.

40
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:40,360
Speaker 4: So we're going to talk about a lot of things

41
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:42,839
Speaker 4: that came out of that, starting in this first segment,

42
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:45,400
Speaker 4: and then we're going to roll through Christy kick us

43
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:49,240
Speaker 4: off with the fair catches slash kickoff new role that's

44
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:51,040
Speaker 4: in place for this season only, and we'll talk about

45
00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:51,360
Speaker 4: that too.

46
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:55,360
Speaker 6: Yes, so fair catches inside the twenty yard line and

47
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:57,720
Speaker 6: the ball would be spotted at the twenty five. That

48
00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:01,360
Speaker 6: what they're trying to do is reduce the number of injuries.

49
00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:08,200
Speaker 6: There's proclivity for more injuries, particularly concussions on special teams play,

50
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:11,880
Speaker 6: in particular kickoff returns and kickoff coverage. And so this

51
00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:16,800
Speaker 6: is a move by the Competition Committee and by the

52
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:19,440
Speaker 6: league and the ownership to try and reduce the number. Now,

53
00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:23,440
Speaker 6: they've been tweaking kickoff returns for years, and you know,

54
00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:27,840
Speaker 6: most recently, if the ball touches in the end zone,

55
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:30,920
Speaker 6: you know, it's automatically a touchback. That's why you see

56
00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:33,400
Speaker 6: so many kick returners not even going to catch the ball,

57
00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:35,720
Speaker 6: because as soon as the ball hits in the end zone, touchback.

58
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:41,720
Speaker 6: So the thought is that this particular rule would since

59
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:43,960
Speaker 6: the incentive would be that you would get the ball

60
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:46,560
Speaker 6: at the twenty five if you fair catch it within

61
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:49,560
Speaker 6: that twenty five yards, that it will reduce the number

62
00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:53,000
Speaker 6: of returns and thereby reduce the number of injuries. So, Aisha,

63
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:56,920
Speaker 6: I'm curious as to how you think coaches might try

64
00:02:56,960 --> 00:02:59,800
Speaker 6: and work around this or do you think it'll eaven

65
00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:00,160
Speaker 6: more work.

66
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:02,240
Speaker 5: I don't so I would.

67
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:05,280
Speaker 7: I'm still learning more about the special teams aspect because

68
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:06,960
Speaker 7: of even being on here with you. You know, we

69
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:10,000
Speaker 7: learned so much about special teams and even some of

70
00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:12,680
Speaker 7: their some of their coverages and how they line up

71
00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:13,640
Speaker 7: from you, Christy.

72
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:15,600
Speaker 4: So I I was.

73
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:20,079
Speaker 7: I was disappointed when I when I first initially heard

74
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:22,880
Speaker 7: about the rule change, just because I feel like there

75
00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:26,680
Speaker 7: has been you can see the amount of returns just

76
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:29,800
Speaker 7: lowering every year, and that's such an electric part of

77
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:30,240
Speaker 7: the game.

78
00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:32,040
Speaker 6: To me, it's such a such a deal.

79
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:34,079
Speaker 7: It can change a game, you know, if you get

80
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:36,440
Speaker 7: a good return or it flipped the field. And so

81
00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:40,560
Speaker 7: I'm just worried about Like, granted, I understand the uh

82
00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:44,360
Speaker 7: the attempt to not have to minimize injuries, but at

83
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:47,960
Speaker 7: the same time, I'm like special there's there's a part

84
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:50,800
Speaker 7: of special teams that that guys like have a ferocity

85
00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:54,080
Speaker 7: to them and it's so downhill, so fast. I get it,

86
00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:56,040
Speaker 7: but I also am like that it's I don't want

87
00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:58,600
Speaker 7: us to take away from that exciting element of the

88
00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:01,800
Speaker 7: game that you get that can really energize your offense

89
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:03,280
Speaker 7: and reward your defense.

90
00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:07,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, let's go into what the chairman of the NFL's

91
00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:08,920
Speaker 4: Competition Committee said.

92
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:09,800
Speaker 5: That's Rich McKay.

93
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:12,120
Speaker 4: He said, quote the concussion right on the play has

94
00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:16,000
Speaker 4: gone up. It's because the ball at their data and said,

95
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:18,599
Speaker 4: or excuse me, the ball is being returned by kicks

96
00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:21,960
Speaker 4: and being hung inside the five yard line. College made

97
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:24,760
Speaker 4: this rule change maybe twenty eighteen, twenty nineteen. We looked

98
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:26,360
Speaker 4: up their data and said, you know what, it's the

99
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:28,440
Speaker 4: right thing to do now. So when it comes to

100
00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:31,560
Speaker 4: player safety, obviously that is in the forefront. We always

101
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:33,800
Speaker 4: talked about that on this podcast. It's just going to

102
00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:37,160
Speaker 4: be interesting to see the history or from this point

103
00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:40,720
Speaker 4: what the kickoff history is going to look like.

104
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:43,719
Speaker 6: There's always an unintended consequence. So what happened when they

105
00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:46,039
Speaker 6: changed it the last time is jess as you mentioned,

106
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:50,400
Speaker 6: what's happening is the kickoffs are being popped up trying

107
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:52,120
Speaker 6: to get it, you know, at about the ten or

108
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:56,320
Speaker 6: the five yard line because the teams that are kicking

109
00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:58,480
Speaker 6: off the coverage teams don't want to give the ball

110
00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:01,080
Speaker 6: up at have it spot at the twenty five for

111
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:03,520
Speaker 6: the opponent, so pop it up to him, have them

112
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:06,440
Speaker 6: fielded at the five, the seven, maybe the three yard line,

113
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:09,200
Speaker 6: and then try and tackle them at the twenty or inside.

114
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:11,640
Speaker 6: So that would be a win for your coverage team, right.

115
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:14,240
Speaker 6: So what I think is gonna happen, and I'm really

116
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:17,400
Speaker 6: anxious this ota and next week I hope I get

117
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:20,520
Speaker 6: to talk to CJ. Goodwin, the Cowboys special team says today,

118
00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:23,839
Speaker 6: if not today after practice, then next week because I

119
00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:25,440
Speaker 6: want to hear what he has to say about this.

120
00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:28,280
Speaker 6: I don't know if John Fossil, the special teams coordinator,

121
00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:31,159
Speaker 6: will be made available to media. He was last week,

122
00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:33,800
Speaker 6: but that's before this rule change was passed for this

123
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:37,200
Speaker 6: coming season. But I think what's going to happen is

124
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:40,960
Speaker 6: the special teams coordinators and the coverage units, they're going

125
00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:43,640
Speaker 6: to do another workaround. So instead of popping the ball

126
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:46,120
Speaker 6: up and trying to get them to field it, you know,

127
00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:48,640
Speaker 6: inside the ten yard line, around the five yard line,

128
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:52,000
Speaker 6: they're gonna be more of a knuckley squib kind of thing. Yeah,

129
00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:54,080
Speaker 6: and that you're still gonna that you're still going to

130
00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:54,839
Speaker 6: have returned.

131
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:58,240
Speaker 4: So overall though, I was seeing a lot of discussion

132
00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:01,320
Speaker 4: about this on Twitter, and the main concern is our

133
00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:03,880
Speaker 4: kickoffs and danger in general. Is that gonna be absolutely

134
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:06,960
Speaker 4: think the past here within the next couple of years.

135
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:08,960
Speaker 6: I don't know that it will be in the next

136
00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:12,640
Speaker 6: couple of years, but yeah, and it's too bad. I

137
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:15,120
Speaker 6: wish that Luke Gifford were not with the Tennessee Times

138
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:17,720
Speaker 6: now that he were with the Cowboys, because I love

139
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:20,040
Speaker 6: talking special teams with him. Yeah, I'd love to hear

140
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:22,000
Speaker 6: what he thinks about it. But there are guys that

141
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:25,680
Speaker 6: have made careers and have reached NFL pensions and have

142
00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:28,800
Speaker 6: been able to provide for their families because they're good

143
00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:32,160
Speaker 6: on special teams. The Luke Gifford's of the world, Cavante

144
00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:35,280
Speaker 6: Turpin getting shot at the NFL because he's so good

145
00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:37,239
Speaker 6: on returns, good as messed.

146
00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:43,359
Speaker 5: A good win and so to.

147
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:48,880
Speaker 6: Hate to set her up on his punt. But anyway, Yeah,

148
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:51,839
Speaker 6: there's a lot of people that that's that's their entree

149
00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:53,640
Speaker 6: into the league and then once they get in, they

150
00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:56,800
Speaker 6: can stick around if you're an ace at it. And uh,

151
00:06:56,960 --> 00:06:58,320
Speaker 6: it really affects those guys.

152
00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:02,240
Speaker 7: Okay, so you think, I'm sorry if you think that

153
00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:03,320
Speaker 7: they can overcome it.

154
00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:06,960
Speaker 6: You think that this is something that I'm really interested

155
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:09,120
Speaker 6: to see what's going to happen in preseason. I want

156
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:11,280
Speaker 6: to talk to coach Fossil about that, because here's the

157
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:16,320
Speaker 6: thing in preseason games, which fans, oh who cares? Who cares?

158
00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:16,640
Speaker 3: Well?

159
00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:19,160
Speaker 6: The coaches care, and these guys who are battling for

160
00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:21,040
Speaker 6: roster spots are the ones that are going to be

161
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:24,360
Speaker 6: going to make it or break it on special teams. Right,

162
00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:27,880
Speaker 6: how do you evaluate them in preseason games if they

163
00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:31,800
Speaker 6: don't get a chance to cover. So you know, I

164
00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:34,600
Speaker 6: would think that if I were a special teams coach

165
00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:38,360
Speaker 6: or anybody evaluating personnel, I want to see how they

166
00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:40,760
Speaker 6: can cover kickoff, So I'm going to try and squib

167
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:43,280
Speaker 6: it or knuckle it or something so that I can

168
00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:44,320
Speaker 6: get a look at my guys.

169
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:46,960
Speaker 4: And not only that, but you hear a lot about,

170
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:50,200
Speaker 4: especially this rookie draft class. You hear a lot from

171
00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:53,520
Speaker 4: coaching or the head coaches talking about, you know, how

172
00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:56,320
Speaker 4: versatile they love their players, and how special teams's kind

173
00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:59,000
Speaker 4: of the foot in the door for those players. Over

174
00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:02,560
Speaker 4: shown you have of Deuce Vaughan. There's a lot of

175
00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:05,040
Speaker 4: guys just within this rookie draft class alone that are

176
00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:07,480
Speaker 4: really going to rely on their ability on special teams

177
00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:10,360
Speaker 4: to have a good shot at making that fifty three

178
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:12,640
Speaker 4: come that time. And so it's just going to be

179
00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:16,080
Speaker 4: a little interesting to see how that all plays out.

180
00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:19,280
Speaker 4: Another thing we wanted to discuss that was approved at

181
00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:23,320
Speaker 4: this NFL Owners meeting was an emergency quarterback situation. When

182
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:25,720
Speaker 4: I heard about this, you know, also I also work

183
00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:28,559
Speaker 4: within hockey, so I was thinking of this in terms

184
00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:30,920
Speaker 4: of the goalie role that was recently set up as

185
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:35,040
Speaker 4: well too, so pretty interesting parallel there within hockey and football.

186
00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:38,040
Speaker 4: But the role is the third quarterback can only enter

187
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:40,640
Speaker 4: if the two quarterbacks on the game day roster are

188
00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:45,680
Speaker 4: downgraded out receiving medical attention, or they're disqualified. Unlike the

189
00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:48,440
Speaker 4: previous role which started in nineteen ninety one and was

190
00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:51,400
Speaker 4: eliminated in twenty ten, they cannot enter the game on

191
00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:55,320
Speaker 4: coaches decisions. The third quarterback must be on the fifty

192
00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:58,440
Speaker 4: three man roster to be designated as the emergency quarterback.

193
00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:02,720
Speaker 4: A player evaluated from the squad cannot be the designated

194
00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:06,920
Speaker 4: third quarterback. Ladies, how does this impact a lot of

195
00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:11,520
Speaker 4: things here? Because again, this isn't necessarily something that teams

196
00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:13,560
Speaker 4: will plan for, right, you don't plan to have to

197
00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:15,200
Speaker 4: need your third quarterback.

198
00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:15,240
Speaker 5: In a game.

199
00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:17,440
Speaker 4: But what is the benefit benefit of this and what

200
00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:19,800
Speaker 4: is the flip side of it for teams being able

201
00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:20,400
Speaker 4: to utilize this?

202
00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:22,920
Speaker 6: Now, the benefit of it is when you have brought

203
00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:27,960
Speaker 6: Purty Go down in your playoff Yeah, there's a big

204
00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:30,560
Speaker 6: benefit to it that we don't have to be subjected

205
00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:35,520
Speaker 6: to having position players play a quarterback in a playoff

206
00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:39,280
Speaker 6: game or any other game. I'm used to the old

207
00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:42,000
Speaker 6: school way of it from the nineties and the first

208
00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:45,560
Speaker 6: decade of this millennium, just because you used to always

209
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:47,840
Speaker 6: have an emergency third quarterback, and the way that it

210
00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:51,280
Speaker 6: used to work was if they entered the game, then

211
00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:53,960
Speaker 6: your first two quarterbacks could not go back in. So

212
00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:56,960
Speaker 6: that's the way that the league is addressing this by

213
00:09:57,000 --> 00:10:00,120
Speaker 6: saying that just as you were going through it and

214
00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:02,360
Speaker 6: saying that you know they'd have to be out for

215
00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:05,880
Speaker 6: injury and things like that. So I'm used to that.

216
00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:12,160
Speaker 6: What there's a domino effect to this because you know,

217
00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:15,600
Speaker 6: you're basically getting an extra person that's active on game day,

218
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:18,560
Speaker 6: right because you can have forty six or forty seven,

219
00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:22,520
Speaker 6: So this would be like the Cowboys forty seventh player available,

220
00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:26,600
Speaker 6: so one lesson active. But by taking up a spot

221
00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:29,400
Speaker 6: on that fifty three man roster, if I think most

222
00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:31,840
Speaker 6: a lot of teams will go ahead, you don't have

223
00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:33,920
Speaker 6: to do this, by the way, you can still just

224
00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:37,480
Speaker 6: keep two quarterbacks on your fifty three man roster and

225
00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:39,400
Speaker 6: just ride it out and hope that you don't need

226
00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:43,520
Speaker 6: an emergency third quarterback. This does not automatically mean that

227
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:45,760
Speaker 6: Will Grier is going to make the fifty three man

228
00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:48,559
Speaker 6: roster if he's the third quarterback, because the Cowboys may

229
00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:52,280
Speaker 6: decide that we want to use that fifty third spot

230
00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:56,000
Speaker 6: on the roster for a young guy who can help

231
00:10:56,000 --> 00:11:00,400
Speaker 6: on special teams, or hey, this week, we're injured tight

232
00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:02,120
Speaker 6: end and we need an extra tid end. You know,

233
00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:04,080
Speaker 6: there are certain things that you can do, but the

234
00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:07,480
Speaker 6: fact that you can't promote him from the practice squads,

235
00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:11,560
Speaker 6: that's the key is. Yeah, it limits your personnel absolutely.

236
00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:13,000
Speaker 7: Because I was about to say, I know a lot

237
00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:15,959
Speaker 7: the Cowboys, like even last year, they called up a

238
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:18,320
Speaker 7: couple of people from the practice squad, and so you

239
00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:20,319
Speaker 7: would not be able to do Are you saying that

240
00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:22,080
Speaker 7: that would not be something you're able to do with

241
00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:24,880
Speaker 7: that in that instant for the quarterback.

242
00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:28,679
Speaker 6: Well, I'm saying that if you decide that you want

243
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:31,240
Speaker 6: to use that fifty third spot on your roster not

244
00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:33,800
Speaker 6: for a third quarterback that may or may not be

245
00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:36,800
Speaker 6: used for emergency purposes. On game day, you may want

246
00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:40,200
Speaker 6: to use that fifty three third spot for a young

247
00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:45,000
Speaker 6: linebacker or a sixth wide receiver, or an extra cornerback

248
00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:48,200
Speaker 6: and that kind of thing. So if you decide to

249
00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:52,080
Speaker 6: go that route and have only two quarterbacks, then you

250
00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:54,360
Speaker 6: can't take Let's say, if Will Greer were on the

251
00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:57,840
Speaker 6: practice squad, you wouldn't be able to have him available

252
00:11:57,880 --> 00:12:01,800
Speaker 6: as an emergency third quarterback. I'm I'm very interested to

253
00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:04,520
Speaker 6: see how many teams will take advantage of this.

254
00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:07,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, and I was in my notes too. How does

255
00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:09,720
Speaker 4: this impact Will Greer? Keep in mind he was claimed

256
00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:12,200
Speaker 4: off waivers by the Cowboys back in twenty twenty one.

257
00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:15,080
Speaker 4: In August of twenty twenty two years wait by the

258
00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:17,760
Speaker 4: Cowboys and signed to the practice squad the next day.

259
00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:21,040
Speaker 4: He was promoted to the active roster on October fifth

260
00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:25,040
Speaker 4: of last year. So do we see this being a

261
00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:28,880
Speaker 4: benefit for Will Greer specifically? And if not? Again, you'd

262
00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:31,560
Speaker 4: mentioned the forty nine ers. I think everybody's first initial

263
00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:33,760
Speaker 4: reaction when they heard about this was the forty nine

264
00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:37,559
Speaker 4: ers and thinking of their situation last season. What other

265
00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:40,400
Speaker 4: teams do you see? You know, kind of just what there.

266
00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:43,480
Speaker 4: You look at injury history, you look at age, you

267
00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:45,360
Speaker 4: look at all of these things. When it comes to

268
00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:47,120
Speaker 4: a quarterback might take advantage of this.

269
00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:48,880
Speaker 6: I shall jump to you, Barnacles.

270
00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:50,560
Speaker 5: Uh, I know it was a good one.

271
00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:54,920
Speaker 7: I know, It's just I was just thinking I could

272
00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:57,160
Speaker 7: be wrong, but I thought the Ravens went through.

273
00:12:57,000 --> 00:12:59,479
Speaker 6: A couple of changes.

274
00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:04,480
Speaker 7: Yeah, quarterback often last season, if I'm not mistaken.

275
00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:07,920
Speaker 6: Yeah, And you know the Dolphins with his situation with

276
00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:12,439
Speaker 6: the concussions. I say, honestly, it's just really too early

277
00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:14,960
Speaker 6: to tell on that it's going to be more injury

278
00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:19,960
Speaker 6: situation situational kind of thing. But what it means for

279
00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:23,319
Speaker 6: Will Greer or people like him who may or may

280
00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:25,320
Speaker 6: not be on the fifty three man or on the

281
00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:28,239
Speaker 6: practice squad is gonna be a big difference for their pocketbook,

282
00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:33,040
Speaker 6: that's for sure. Because in twenty twenty three, the weekly

283
00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:38,080
Speaker 6: rate for a practice squad player is twelve thousand dollars

284
00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:43,200
Speaker 6: a week. So let's see practice squad players. Yeah, so

285
00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:46,360
Speaker 6: it's twelve thousand dollars a week. Veteran practice squad players

286
00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:50,200
Speaker 6: just over sixteen thousand dollars, So they're going to add

287
00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:52,839
Speaker 6: a practice squad player is going to average about two

288
00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:55,520
Speaker 6: hundred and twenty maybe two hundred and sixty thousand dollars

289
00:13:55,559 --> 00:14:01,720
Speaker 6: a year. The first year minimum llery is eight hundred

290
00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:04,560
Speaker 6: and seventy thousand dollars this year, so it's a big

291
00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:07,439
Speaker 6: change in your weekly paycheck. Whether you're on the fifty

292
00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:11,319
Speaker 6: three man roster or the practice squad. Sure in their business.

293
00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:13,520
Speaker 4: They really are. And you know, I think this might

294
00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:15,959
Speaker 4: be a little bit of a different conversation had the

295
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:18,880
Speaker 4: Cowboys not obtained Cooper Rush during the off season. I

296
00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:21,480
Speaker 4: think that was a big key to filling secure within

297
00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:22,600
Speaker 4: your quarterback situation.

298
00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:24,360
Speaker 5: Obviously, Dak Prescott.

299
00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:27,040
Speaker 4: We don't even need to discuss that that is solid,

300
00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:29,640
Speaker 4: that is secure. But I think Cooper Rush staying really

301
00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:32,560
Speaker 4: solidified that the Cowboys can use that fifty third spot,

302
00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:32,840
Speaker 4: like you.

303
00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:34,040
Speaker 5: Said on Yeah any something else.

304
00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:36,160
Speaker 6: And I think one other way that this may have

305
00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:39,280
Speaker 6: a domino effect on things, and that is and I'm

306
00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:42,400
Speaker 6: Cowboy fans with long memories. Remember when we tried to

307
00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:46,240
Speaker 6: slide Matt Moore through waivers and he ended up getting

308
00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:48,400
Speaker 6: at the end of camp, they decided to cut him

309
00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:50,760
Speaker 6: because they thought he won't get picked. Hopefully he doesn't

310
00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:52,560
Speaker 6: get picked up and we can sign him to the

311
00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:55,680
Speaker 6: practice squad. Well, Carolina claimed him and he's had along

312
00:14:55,920 --> 00:14:59,480
Speaker 6: had a very long NFL career. I think that it's

313
00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:04,840
Speaker 6: teams may think harder and harder and harder about cutting

314
00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:10,600
Speaker 6: these third string quarterbacks or four string because other teams

315
00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:12,960
Speaker 6: may decide okay, we're going to go ahead and go

316
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:15,560
Speaker 6: with three, and may want assign them, so it might

317
00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:17,440

Speaker 4: all the things that is my gem.

387
00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:43,400
Speaker 5: I will be there.

388
00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:47,320
Speaker 4: Okay, let's talk the Thursday night football flex and what

389
00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:50,520
Speaker 4: is able to happen now within the league. So NFL

390
00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:53,479
Speaker 4: owners approved a flexible schedule policy for Thursday night games

391
00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:56,960
Speaker 4: for only weeks thirteen through seventeen, with at least twenty

392
00:18:56,960 --> 00:18:59,800
Speaker 4: eight days notice given to the affected teams. Now. This

393
00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:02,520
Speaker 4: means that the leagues could push a Thursday night matchup

394
00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:05,080
Speaker 4: into the range to Sunday afternoon if there is a

395
00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:09,080
Speaker 4: more desirable game which is currently in place for Sunday

396
00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:11,520
Speaker 4: night and Monday night games as well. Keep in mind,

397
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:14,199
Speaker 4: no team would be required to play more than twice

398
00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:18,440
Speaker 4: on Thursday night in a season. So with that being said,

399
00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:22,240
Speaker 4: here's the Cowboys schedule weeks thirteen through seventeen. Week thirteen

400
00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:26,120
Speaker 4: a Thursday night game at home against the Seahawks. Week

401
00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:29,480
Speaker 4: fourteen against the Eagles, also at home. A Sunday night

402
00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:33,359
Speaker 4: game there, Week fifteen at the Bills, Sunday game at

403
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:38,280
Speaker 4: four twenty five on Fox. Week sixteen at Miami against

404
00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:41,480
Speaker 4: the Dolphins, also a Sunday game, and then week seventeen

405
00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:45,480
Speaker 4: you're looking at the Lions home games, so again on

406
00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:48,600
Speaker 4: a Saturday, December thirtieth there. So what I wanted to

407
00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:51,439
Speaker 4: throw this out? How do we feel about this in general?

408
00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:55,439
Speaker 4: Because we have very strong feelings personally, I know I do,

409
00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:58,600
Speaker 4: and we've talked about on the podcast before about Thursday

410
00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:01,160
Speaker 4: games and the position now to be able to flex them.

411
00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:04,320
Speaker 4: How does this really impact teams? And with that twenty

412
00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:06,760
Speaker 4: eight days notice, I think that's a good addition to

413
00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:07,440
Speaker 4: mention in there.

414
00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:10,560
Speaker 5: How do we feel about this grisy?

415
00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:11,320
Speaker 4: Hate it?

416
00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:12,920
Speaker 6: Absolutely? Hate it?

417
00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:13,959
Speaker 5: Tell us how you hate it?

418
00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:17,600
Speaker 6: Hate it for the fans, hate it for football operations,

419
00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:23,399
Speaker 6: stadium operations. But it's inevitable and there are eleven billion

420
00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:28,679
Speaker 6: reasons why, and it's because Amazon Prime pays eleven billion

421
00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:35,160
Speaker 6: dollars for their rights. Looked looked up some of the numbers,

422
00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:40,720
Speaker 6: and here's the thing. The contract that Amazon has with

423
00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:44,760
Speaker 6: the NFL is eleven years, eleven billion dollars for Thursday

424
00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:48,800
Speaker 6: Night football. So according to Motley Fool that's kind of

425
00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:51,360
Speaker 6: a fun side if you're into financial stuff. But they

426
00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:53,879
Speaker 6: get fifteen games a year. Okay, I know it's a

427
00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:57,119
Speaker 6: seventeen game schedule, but remember the Thursday night opener, the

428
00:20:57,200 --> 00:21:01,000
Speaker 6: NFL kickoff, that's an NBC game, and then there's the

429
00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:04,720
Speaker 6: Thanksgiving Day game. So Amazon Prime is part of their package,

430
00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:07,679
Speaker 6: has fifteen games a year. If you take a billion

431
00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:10,919
Speaker 6: dollars rights fee a year and divide it, they're paying

432
00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:14,960
Speaker 6: sixty seven million dollars per game basically just for the

433
00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:18,800
Speaker 6: rights fee. That doesn't include operations cost, how much they

434
00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:22,520
Speaker 6: pay all Michaels and everybody and stuff. So that is

435
00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:27,240
Speaker 6: a huge financial commitment by Amazon to the NFL. And

436
00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:31,640
Speaker 6: they had some rotten games last year, but I don't

437
00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:34,280
Speaker 6: think you can blame the NFL for that. When that

438
00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:37,480
Speaker 6: Thursday Night schedule came out, it's like, man, this looks

439
00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:40,320
Speaker 6: really great. Who knew that the rams were gonna be

440
00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:43,320
Speaker 6: so bad last year because of injuries to their offensive line.

441
00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:46,200
Speaker 6: So the reason for this, you know, it's a billion

442
00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:48,360
Speaker 6: do there are a billion reasons each year for them

443
00:21:48,359 --> 00:21:54,240
Speaker 6: to do it financially, but they need better games, better matchups,

444
00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:57,160
Speaker 6: particularly as the season goes on, and so this gives

445
00:21:57,160 --> 00:21:59,680
Speaker 6: them the flexibility to do it. At least they've limited

446
00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:04,439
Speaker 6: it to weeks thirteen through seventeen. But the bottom line

447
00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:07,920
Speaker 6: is last year, the Thursday night football game, it's averaged

448
00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:11,680
Speaker 6: only nine point six million viewers. It's obviously a lot

449
00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:15,200
Speaker 6: lower because it's streaming only and it's over the air

450
00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:17,440
Speaker 6: in the markets for the two teams, but the rest

451
00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:20,960
Speaker 6: of it is streaming. So the good news is their

452
00:22:21,359 --> 00:22:24,439
Speaker 6: median age is younger forty seven years old as opposed

453
00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:26,800
Speaker 6: to fifty four years old for over the air broadcasts.

454
00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:30,960
Speaker 6: But Amazon, they weren't getting their bang for the buck

455
00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:34,359
Speaker 6: basically with some of those matchups, so the league is

456
00:22:34,359 --> 00:22:35,239
Speaker 6: trying to help them with that.

457
00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:38,439
Speaker 7: Yeah, you mentioned that they'll have the flexibility, and I

458
00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:41,720
Speaker 7: think it also allows them to kind of see see

459
00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:44,240
Speaker 7: what the lay of the land is to see to

460
00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:45,600
Speaker 7: gauge like, okay, well this.

461
00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:47,399
Speaker 6: Is what the season is looking like so far. Is

462
00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:48,399
Speaker 6: what our numbers are looking like.

463
00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:50,680
Speaker 7: And that's why to me, it's in the latter part

464
00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:53,080
Speaker 7: of the season, because they can kind of gauge what

465
00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:55,400
Speaker 7: they need to do and what teams need to be flexed.

466
00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:59,240
Speaker 7: Any worry about if the Cowboys get flexed.

467
00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:03,000
Speaker 4: I don't. I don't think so, And usually my answer

468
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:04,800
Speaker 4: would be a little bit different. But when you look

469
00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:07,400
Speaker 4: at who they're playing and where their slots are already,

470
00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:11,200
Speaker 4: I don't see it being an undesirable matchup really.

471
00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:13,640
Speaker 5: I mean you look at that schedule.

472
00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:16,680
Speaker 6: Well, they're very desirable matchups, which is why it might

473
00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:17,360
Speaker 6: be flex.

474
00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:20,080
Speaker 4: But then you also have you already have a Thursday

475
00:23:20,119 --> 00:23:20,440
Speaker 4: night game.

476
00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:23,600
Speaker 6: You have two Thursdays back to back if you include Thanksgiving.

477
00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:26,000
Speaker 6: I know that's not a night and that's us. It's

478
00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:28,960
Speaker 6: Washington and Seattle back to back Thursday home.

479
00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:32,399
Speaker 4: Games Week twelve, Week thirteen. And then you have a

480
00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:33,919
Speaker 4: Sunday night football for the Eagles.

481
00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:34,919
Speaker 5: They're not going to change that.

482
00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:39,880
Speaker 6: And you have Saturday Night against Detroit, right and certainly

483
00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:44,359
Speaker 6: ESPN ABC does not want to lose the Cowboys for

484
00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:47,080
Speaker 6: Saturday Night. But what worries me is maybe the next

485
00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:49,800
Speaker 6: week where the Cowboys are playing on a Saturday. Could

486
00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:53,800
Speaker 6: you move that final week schame, you know, it's instead

487
00:23:53,800 --> 00:23:55,720
Speaker 6: of a short from a Sunday through a Thursday, it

488
00:23:55,720 --> 00:23:58,440
Speaker 6: would be a Saturday to a Thursday. But I think

489
00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:01,440
Speaker 6: it's less likely I should, just because the Cowboys already

490
00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:06,520
Speaker 6: have to back to back Thursday games. I am not

491
00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:10,280
Speaker 6: a proponent of Thursday football at all, unless you go

492
00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:13,880
Speaker 6: to two by weeks a year where it's worked in

493
00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:15,800
Speaker 6: that you have a week and a half. You know,

494
00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:20,159
Speaker 6: I'm okay with that, but I hate short weeks because

495
00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:23,840
Speaker 6: the players' bodies, they're just not ready. It's so unfair

496
00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:26,680
Speaker 6: for the traveling teams. You're not getting the best product

497
00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:29,639
Speaker 6: in my opinion. Now, the league will argue from a

498
00:24:30,359 --> 00:24:33,960
Speaker 6: injury standpoint, they'll cite things that show, oh, there are

499
00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:37,399
Speaker 6: not more injuries on average on a Thursday than on

500
00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:41,399
Speaker 6: any other day of the week. But maybe I'm just

501
00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:43,840
Speaker 6: a little biased because the main part of my job

502
00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:47,360
Speaker 6: is reporting injuries. But it just got These guys are

503
00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:50,040
Speaker 6: so beat up and especially late in the season, and

504
00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:52,560
Speaker 6: to have that thrown at you, and mainly it's just

505
00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:56,760
Speaker 6: unfair to the fans. And it's nothing new. College football

506
00:24:56,800 --> 00:24:59,560
Speaker 6: does this. You don't know until a couple weeks before

507
00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:01,840
Speaker 6: if the game is on a Saturday morning or a

508
00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:07,440
Speaker 6: Saturday night because money rules everything, and the television networks

509
00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:10,880
Speaker 6: there's now streaming services rule everything because they're the ones

510
00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:13,760
Speaker 6: with the money. So and there are more eyes watching

511
00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:17,400
Speaker 6: games on TV or streaming than there are in the stands.

512
00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:20,000
Speaker 6: So I understand it. I get it. It's just that

513
00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:22,880
Speaker 6: I don't like it. I don't like it either.

514
00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:25,600
Speaker 4: That what she said.

515
00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:27,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, I'm like, preach Christy.

516
00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:28,639
Speaker 4: Now we're not.

517
00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:32,800
Speaker 7: We haven't been fans about Thursday night football scared me.

518
00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:34,960
Speaker 7: Actually for a while, I stopped watching. I don't know

519
00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:36,960
Speaker 7: if you guys remember that one year where it was

520
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:40,080
Speaker 7: like I think Tyler Lockett broke his leg. I think

521
00:25:40,119 --> 00:25:42,520
Speaker 7: Derek Carr broke his leg, and they were all on

522
00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:45,600
Speaker 7: Thursday night games and it was literally like it was

523
00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:47,760
Speaker 7: just over and over and over again. And I was like,

524
00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:49,600
Speaker 7: I was scared to watch Thursday night.

525
00:25:49,560 --> 00:25:51,640
Speaker 6: Foot well for a while. But then I hate myself

526
00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:54,200
Speaker 6: because I do watch it. Oh and you know, and

527
00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:56,840
Speaker 6: like those of us, yeah, those of us that hate

528
00:25:56,880 --> 00:25:59,520
Speaker 6: it that it costs seven dollars for popcorn at the movies.

529
00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:03,240
Speaker 6: You know, it's just so ridiculous thirteen dollars for a

530
00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:07,480
Speaker 6: hamburger at Theme Park. Well, we're the idiots that pay it,

531
00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:09,280
Speaker 6: so yeah.

532
00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:11,880
Speaker 4: No, And I'm looking up, you know, kind of the

533
00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:14,440
Speaker 4: most valuable NFL franchises right now.

534
00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:16,239
Speaker 5: So to me, the more money you bring, the more

535
00:26:16,280 --> 00:26:17,000
Speaker 5: they're going to want you.

536
00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:21,360
Speaker 4: Obviously, we know the Cowboys number one, America's team number two.

537
00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:24,520
Speaker 4: You have the Rams number three. This is going from

538
00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:26,639
Speaker 4: the most value to the least. Obviously, you have the

539
00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:29,439
Speaker 4: Patriots number four. You have the Giants number five. You

540
00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:32,760
Speaker 4: have the forty nine Ers, six, the Bears, seven, the Jets,

541
00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:35,680
Speaker 4: which I assume that's going to skyrocket a little bit

542
00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:39,000
Speaker 4: this season for certain Aaron Rodgers reason.

543
00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:40,640
Speaker 5: Who's a swifty by the way, I need to throw

544
00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:41,160
Speaker 5: that out there.

545
00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:45,280
Speaker 4: Number eight, you have the Commanders, nine the Philadelphia Eagles,

546
00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:47,919
Speaker 4: and ten the Broncos. So those are top ten when

547
00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:49,880
Speaker 4: it comes to value within the league. So I would

548
00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:53,000
Speaker 4: keep a very close eye on all of those teams

549
00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:55,400
Speaker 4: to be the ones that have the microscope to get

550
00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:57,080
Speaker 4: flexed a little bit more than others.

551
00:26:57,480 --> 00:26:58,160
Speaker 5: I would say.

552
00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:01,360
Speaker 4: But let's go ahead and take our break because we

553
00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:03,560
Speaker 4: still have a lot to break down. For OTA's We're

554
00:27:03,560 --> 00:27:07,119
Speaker 4: going to talk about some position competition who we think

555
00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:10,720
Speaker 4: might be in a little bit of hot water that's

556
00:27:10,720 --> 00:27:12,160
Speaker 4: coming up on the other side of this break.

557

Speaker 6: last year. So what do you think the average attendance is? Oh, god,

628
00:30:38,760 --> 00:30:42,080
Speaker 6: for ninety three thousand, four hundred and sixty five. Okay,

629
00:30:42,160 --> 00:30:46,720
Speaker 6: so it's ninety four percent of capacity every week. Eight

630
00:30:46,800 --> 00:30:49,800
Speaker 6: hundred and forty one thousand, one hundred and ninety two

631
00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:52,720
Speaker 6: fans attended regular season games last year at AT and

632
00:30:52,760 --> 00:30:55,360
Speaker 6: T Stadium. Now, remember last year we had nine home

633
00:30:55,360 --> 00:30:57,880
Speaker 6: games instead of eight, so it's a little bit higher.

634
00:30:58,120 --> 00:31:01,240
Speaker 6: But compare that by the you mentioned the New York Jets.

635
00:31:01,320 --> 00:31:04,200
Speaker 6: Even before Aaron Rodgers, they were number two and home

636
00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:07,080
Speaker 6: attendance in the league. They share a stadium with the Giants.

637
00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:10,680
Speaker 6: The attendance is better. Even when the Jets are down

638
00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:13,000
Speaker 6: like last year, the attendance was better for the Jets

639
00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:16,880
Speaker 6: than the Giants, and they averaged seven just over seventy

640
00:31:16,920 --> 00:31:19,520
Speaker 6: eight thousand fans a game. So with the AT and

641
00:31:19,560 --> 00:31:22,040
Speaker 6: T Stadium being so much larger and even having this

642
00:31:22,200 --> 00:31:27,560
Speaker 6: standing room tickets in the plazas and end zone plazas.

643
00:31:27,600 --> 00:31:31,120
Speaker 6: So seventy eight thousand, so fifteen thousand, fifteen thousand, four

644
00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:36,080
Speaker 6: hundred and fifty four more fans every game, Wow than

645
00:31:36,160 --> 00:31:36,880
Speaker 6: the next highest.

646
00:31:36,920 --> 00:31:39,520
Speaker 4: Well they better, I'll be Cowboys fans, especially for that

647
00:31:39,600 --> 00:31:40,160
Speaker 4: Jets game.

648
00:31:40,200 --> 00:31:42,880
Speaker 5: I know, ready ready for that game.

649
00:31:43,360 --> 00:31:44,840
Speaker 4: But there's a lot to get to you before we

650
00:31:44,920 --> 00:31:47,360
Speaker 4: even start talking about that Jets game. Because we are

651
00:31:47,360 --> 00:31:52,240
Speaker 4: in OTA season officially, we're in our otaight eras as

652
00:31:52,320 --> 00:31:56,240
Speaker 4: you could say. The schedule is per the league that

653
00:31:56,440 --> 00:31:59,840
Speaker 4: OTAs can happen May twenty second through twenty third May

654
00:32:00,320 --> 00:32:04,520
Speaker 4: May thirtieth, June first, June second, June thirteenth through June fifteenth,

655
00:32:04,560 --> 00:32:06,080
Speaker 4: and then rookie mini camp.

656
00:32:05,880 --> 00:32:07,920
Speaker 5: Is June sixth through eighth.

657
00:32:08,240 --> 00:32:11,360
Speaker 4: So, first of all, Christy, let's start this off, because

658
00:32:11,360 --> 00:32:14,880
Speaker 4: of course I love you know, getting all kinds of

659
00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:18,640
Speaker 4: viewers in on this podcast. You're just learning football, we

660
00:32:18,720 --> 00:32:21,240
Speaker 4: got you. You want more experienced football.

661
00:32:20,920 --> 00:32:23,120
Speaker 5: Talk, we got you. You're right in the middle. We

662
00:32:23,240 --> 00:32:23,600
Speaker 5: got you.

663
00:32:23,880 --> 00:32:26,200
Speaker 4: But if you don't know or you need a refresher,

664
00:32:26,240 --> 00:32:28,479
Speaker 4: there's absolutely nothing wrong with that. Christy.

665
00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:31,120
Speaker 5: What are OTAs? What are the league rules for them?

666
00:32:31,520 --> 00:32:33,200
Speaker 5: And let's just go into that.

667
00:32:33,240 --> 00:32:37,120
Speaker 6: First of all, OTA stands for organized team activity, and

668
00:32:37,440 --> 00:32:39,120
Speaker 6: back in the old days, you could have a few

669
00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:41,600
Speaker 6: different mini camps in the off season, but then with

670
00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:46,880
Speaker 6: collective bargaining agreement and trying to limit to the amount

671
00:32:46,880 --> 00:32:50,240
Speaker 6: of time the players are expected to volunteer in the

672
00:32:50,280 --> 00:32:53,960
Speaker 6: off season anyway, now teams only have one mini camp

673
00:32:54,080 --> 00:32:57,000
Speaker 6: and a couple of different OTAs. So what we're in

674
00:32:57,080 --> 00:33:00,560
Speaker 6: right now is phase three of the off season program.

675
00:33:00,880 --> 00:33:04,080
Speaker 6: So phase three is a month, it's four weeks total.

676
00:33:04,560 --> 00:33:08,479
Speaker 6: You can have three weeks of OTAs a total of

677
00:33:08,560 --> 00:33:12,280
Speaker 6: ten ten, so an OTA being a day. So right

678
00:33:12,320 --> 00:33:15,080
Speaker 6: now we are in the third day. This is Thursday,

679
00:33:15,080 --> 00:33:17,360
Speaker 6: as we tape this, and as we go left third

680
00:33:17,440 --> 00:33:22,800
Speaker 6: day of the first OTA. Now it's footballie but not

681
00:33:22,920 --> 00:33:26,240
Speaker 6: total football. So yes, the players can wear helmets, but

682
00:33:26,280 --> 00:33:29,320
Speaker 6: the only pads that they can wear are elbow pants

683
00:33:29,360 --> 00:33:32,840
Speaker 6: and knee pads. They're not out there, there's no contact,

684
00:33:32,920 --> 00:33:37,240
Speaker 6: there's no hitting. In fact, there's no live contact allowed.

685
00:33:37,480 --> 00:33:42,520
Speaker 6: If there's any live contact, the league can take away

686
00:33:42,600 --> 00:33:45,040
Speaker 6: draft picks, they can find you, they can find coaches

687
00:33:45,160 --> 00:33:47,920
Speaker 6: coach McCarthy's been fined a couple times with the Cowboys.

688
00:33:48,360 --> 00:33:53,360
Speaker 6: What is allowed obviously individual drills, position, group work. You're

689
00:33:53,400 --> 00:33:56,800
Speaker 6: working on fundamentals, obviously, But then you can do seven

690
00:33:56,840 --> 00:34:00,440
Speaker 6: on seven, you can do nine on seven, you can

691
00:34:00,480 --> 00:34:03,880
Speaker 6: do eleven on eleven, but you just can't hit each other.

692
00:34:04,600 --> 00:34:07,560
Speaker 6: So to put it this way, let's say that you

693
00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:13,280
Speaker 6: have a cornerback trying to cover a wide receiver. There's

694
00:34:13,400 --> 00:34:15,239
Speaker 6: not going to be any bump and run. They're not

695
00:34:15,280 --> 00:34:18,840
Speaker 6: going to go up and harshly contest the balls because

696
00:34:18,880 --> 00:34:20,320
Speaker 6: you're not allowed to have contact.

697
00:34:20,520 --> 00:34:21,799
Speaker 7: Yeah, it actually reminds me.

698
00:34:23,280 --> 00:34:26,360
Speaker 6: I look at OTAs especially with the rookies.

699
00:34:26,080 --> 00:34:29,160
Speaker 7: You know, starting to kind of integrate into being a

700
00:34:29,200 --> 00:34:30,759
Speaker 7: professional and getting a feel for what the.

701
00:34:30,840 --> 00:34:31,440
Speaker 6: NFL is like.

702
00:34:31,640 --> 00:34:34,600
Speaker 7: I look at it as like get in the lay

703
00:34:34,600 --> 00:34:38,000
Speaker 7: of the land, guys, get in in here and get

704
00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:40,359
Speaker 7: in to feel like what that other gentleman is like,

705
00:34:40,400 --> 00:34:42,759
Speaker 7: getting into actually understood a lot of people. A lot

706
00:34:42,800 --> 00:34:44,840
Speaker 7: of the guys probably like, oh, they know Deuce is fast,

707
00:34:44,840 --> 00:34:47,520
Speaker 7: but they'll get the opportunity to actually see him and

708
00:34:47,560 --> 00:34:50,080
Speaker 7: some of these drills and there's something that you do

709
00:34:50,120 --> 00:34:51,520
Speaker 7: when you go to boot camp when you go to

710
00:34:51,520 --> 00:34:53,560
Speaker 7: basic training. It's called the one one one, and it's

711
00:34:53,640 --> 00:34:56,280
Speaker 7: kind of like an assessment of It's a one minute

712
00:34:56,280 --> 00:34:58,200
Speaker 7: of a one minute of push ups, one minute of

713
00:34:58,239 --> 00:35:01,759
Speaker 7: sit ups, and then the one mile the two mile

714
00:35:01,840 --> 00:35:04,480
Speaker 7: run that you do for the Army. And I remember

715
00:35:04,520 --> 00:35:07,640
Speaker 7: going through it and I was ready, like I was

716
00:35:07,760 --> 00:35:10,400
Speaker 7: a lot of You get to see kind of who's

717
00:35:10,440 --> 00:35:13,160
Speaker 7: ready also too, and who's preyer like I max it.

718
00:35:13,200 --> 00:35:15,200
Speaker 7: I was already physically prepared, but then you see the

719
00:35:15,200 --> 00:35:17,839
Speaker 7: people who didn't work out before they came through training,

720
00:35:17,880 --> 00:35:20,000
Speaker 7: who've been eating Dorito's and sitting on a collet. And

721
00:35:20,200 --> 00:35:22,600
Speaker 7: so I also feel like OTAs is also just for

722
00:35:22,680 --> 00:35:24,759
Speaker 7: guys to start to get their legs under them if

723
00:35:24,800 --> 00:35:27,800
Speaker 7: they haven't had any type of game speed or practice

724
00:35:27,840 --> 00:35:29,600
Speaker 7: speed type stuff, and to get a feel for the

725
00:35:29,640 --> 00:35:32,719
Speaker 7: gentleman next to them, see guys personalities, and then let

726
00:35:32,760 --> 00:35:34,359
Speaker 7: that chemistry start building from here.

727
00:35:34,480 --> 00:35:36,600
Speaker 4: I love that that was such a great example, and

728
00:35:36,640 --> 00:35:39,280
Speaker 4: so I wanted to bounce back to you because since

729
00:35:39,280 --> 00:35:43,040
Speaker 4: it's not anything you know, really physical to where there's

730
00:35:43,080 --> 00:35:46,319
Speaker 4: really no contact, how to coaches assess the players and

731
00:35:46,360 --> 00:35:48,480
Speaker 4: how do they know if they're not ready? What are

732
00:35:48,480 --> 00:35:51,160
Speaker 4: they looking for, you know, in both of y'all's opinion,

733
00:35:51,280 --> 00:35:53,759
Speaker 4: what are they looking for exactly? To see who might

734
00:35:53,840 --> 00:35:55,600
Speaker 4: need a little bit more polishing than others.

735
00:35:56,400 --> 00:35:59,680
Speaker 6: I would say it's mainly more seeing how quickly they're

736
00:35:59,680 --> 00:36:04,120
Speaker 6: picking things up checking a Yeah, that's what it really is.

737
00:36:04,480 --> 00:36:07,799
Speaker 6: Also how well do they take instruction. And I'll use

738
00:36:07,840 --> 00:36:10,640
Speaker 6: this as an example. When Dak Prescott came here as

739
00:36:10,680 --> 00:36:13,400
Speaker 6: a fourth round draft pick, he had never taken a

740
00:36:13,400 --> 00:36:16,400
Speaker 6: snap under center because he was always in the shotgun

741
00:36:16,480 --> 00:36:19,800
Speaker 6: and spread. He had never taken a snap under center.

742
00:36:20,200 --> 00:36:23,680
Speaker 6: And Jason Garrett I remember him saying they had to

743
00:36:23,719 --> 00:36:24,279
Speaker 6: teach him how.

744
00:36:24,239 --> 00:36:24,520
Speaker 3: To do it.

745
00:36:24,560 --> 00:36:27,759
Speaker 6: And they said that after the first snap that he

746
00:36:27,840 --> 00:36:30,200
Speaker 6: took in rookie camp under center for the very first

747
00:36:30,239 --> 00:36:34,200
Speaker 6: time they told him something, he made the correction and

748
00:36:34,239 --> 00:36:36,920
Speaker 6: it was perfect after that, and they knew, oh, this

749
00:36:36,960 --> 00:36:39,640
Speaker 6: guy is a quick learner. And you know, you don't

750
00:36:39,680 --> 00:36:41,799
Speaker 6: have to get because there are some guys you tell

751
00:36:41,840 --> 00:36:44,160
Speaker 6: them once they get it. And this is all of

752
00:36:44,239 --> 00:36:47,040
Speaker 6: us in all walks of life. My husband would tell

753
00:36:47,080 --> 00:36:49,520
Speaker 6: you that I am not when that necessarily gets everything

754
00:36:49,560 --> 00:36:53,480
Speaker 6: the first time you tell me something, But yeah, it's

755
00:36:53,520 --> 00:36:57,000
Speaker 6: it's are the guys listening. Are they are they taking

756
00:36:57,040 --> 00:36:59,560
Speaker 6: what you because meetings are allowed. The players have been

757
00:36:59,560 --> 00:37:01,840
Speaker 6: here since seven thirty in the morning. The team meeting

758
00:37:01,880 --> 00:37:05,319
Speaker 6: is seven thirty this morning, there's offensive defensive meetings, and

759
00:37:05,360 --> 00:37:09,480
Speaker 6: then they'll go out and at eleven thirty is practice

760
00:37:09,520 --> 00:37:12,320
Speaker 6: on the field. But are they taking what you're teaching

761
00:37:12,360 --> 00:37:15,720
Speaker 6: them and being able to demonstrate it on the field.

762
00:37:15,800 --> 00:37:18,400
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's a lot of evaluation, and you definitely you

763
00:37:18,480 --> 00:37:22,080
Speaker 7: mentioned just I would say, are they culchable? How much

764
00:37:22,120 --> 00:37:23,320
Speaker 7: are they retaining information?

765
00:37:23,400 --> 00:37:26,200
Speaker 6: And I refer right back to the one one one where.

766
00:37:26,239 --> 00:37:29,560
Speaker 7: They're teaching us how to have the right push up form,

767
00:37:29,600 --> 00:37:31,279
Speaker 7: how to have the right seat up form, how to

768
00:37:31,320 --> 00:37:34,000
Speaker 7: start breathing, how to get through those and those. It's

769
00:37:34,040 --> 00:37:38,600
Speaker 7: again little things that they're just trying to refine and

770
00:37:38,640 --> 00:37:40,239
Speaker 7: evaluate during this time as well.

771
00:37:40,280 --> 00:37:41,240
Speaker 6: It's one of my most funds.

772
00:37:41,480 --> 00:37:43,160
Speaker 7: I think it's one of the most interesting times of

773
00:37:43,200 --> 00:37:46,279
Speaker 7: the year because I don't think that you can just

774
00:37:46,320 --> 00:37:48,960
Speaker 7: skate through it because there's so many people, especially during

775
00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:51,839
Speaker 7: these evaluations, paying attention to everything you're doing. Everything's kind

776
00:37:51,840 --> 00:37:55,160
Speaker 7: of minimized in a way when you're doing OTAs and stuff, so.

777
00:37:55,239 --> 00:37:57,960
Speaker 5: Puts the fun in fundamentals.

778
00:37:57,200 --> 00:37:58,399
Speaker 6: Right, it really does.

779
00:37:58,480 --> 00:38:01,040
Speaker 7: I think that's actually actually I'm not mad.

780
00:38:01,520 --> 00:38:02,920
Speaker 5: I was waiting on that one just for you.

781
00:38:03,800 --> 00:38:04,000
Speaker 3: Well.

782
00:38:04,000 --> 00:38:05,640
Speaker 4: And not only that, but I love that you talked

783
00:38:05,640 --> 00:38:07,840
Speaker 4: about starting to build that chemistry because this is the

784
00:38:07,880 --> 00:38:09,919
Speaker 4: first week that these guys actually do get to meet

785
00:38:09,920 --> 00:38:13,279
Speaker 4: in person, given they probably FaceTime, they probably text each other,

786
00:38:13,520 --> 00:38:16,439
Speaker 4: but to actually work together and start doing that, I mean,

787
00:38:17,080 --> 00:38:18,919
Speaker 4: the best example I have is when we started doing

788
00:38:18,960 --> 00:38:21,920
Speaker 4: this podcast, even we knew each other and we had

789
00:38:21,920 --> 00:38:24,360
Speaker 4: reached out to each other weeks prior. We were texting,

790
00:38:24,400 --> 00:38:27,120
Speaker 4: we were calling each other. But then as you start

791
00:38:27,120 --> 00:38:29,040
Speaker 4: working together, it's a little bit differently and you have

792
00:38:29,120 --> 00:38:31,800
Speaker 4: to find that chemistry with each other when you're working

793
00:38:31,800 --> 00:38:34,440
Speaker 4: together as compared to when you're not working together. So

794
00:38:34,719 --> 00:38:37,399
Speaker 4: it's really exciting to start to see those bonds start

795
00:38:37,400 --> 00:38:39,560
Speaker 4: to form you. You get to see the veterans and

796
00:38:39,840 --> 00:38:43,080
Speaker 4: the rookies really come together. And honestly, what I look

797
00:38:43,120 --> 00:38:45,640
Speaker 4: for during this time is which veterans are taking that

798
00:38:45,680 --> 00:38:49,239
Speaker 4: initiative or that second year jump to become that guy

799
00:38:49,320 --> 00:38:52,840
Speaker 4: in the room, especially because you did lose a big,

800
00:38:53,080 --> 00:38:56,560
Speaker 4: big part of your leadership with Ezekiel Elliott. So I'm

801
00:38:56,600 --> 00:38:59,200
Speaker 4: interested to see kind of what guys step up in

802
00:38:59,239 --> 00:39:01,640
Speaker 4: that role to to help and to motivate and to

803
00:39:01,640 --> 00:39:02,360
Speaker 4: be that lockerowroa.

804
00:39:02,480 --> 00:39:05,279
Speaker 6: Yeah, I love that point, Jess. I think that's so important.

805
00:39:05,800 --> 00:39:07,920
Speaker 6: I think you can also extend that to the coaching

806
00:39:07,960 --> 00:39:10,760
Speaker 6: staff as well. Yeah, you know, you know, Mike Salari,

807
00:39:10,840 --> 00:39:13,040
Speaker 6: it's a lot of coaching coach on that. Yeah. The

808
00:39:13,280 --> 00:39:16,600
Speaker 6: Scott Tolzine is your new quarterbacks coach in place of

809
00:39:16,960 --> 00:39:20,279
Speaker 6: Doug Nussmeyer and Brian Schottenheimer, your offensive fourtnator. Yeah, he

810
00:39:20,400 --> 00:39:22,319
Speaker 6: was a consultant last year and he was around and

811
00:39:22,360 --> 00:39:24,319
Speaker 6: he was there on game day up in the booth,

812
00:39:24,360 --> 00:39:27,680
Speaker 6: but a totally different thing when he's running things on

813
00:39:27,680 --> 00:39:28,000
Speaker 6: the field.

814
00:39:28,120 --> 00:39:30,040
Speaker 7: Because I'm so glad that you brought up the coaching

815
00:39:30,120 --> 00:39:33,080
Speaker 7: changes and stuff too, because when you start talking about OTAs, uh,

816
00:39:33,120 --> 00:39:35,879
Speaker 7: the offensive side of the ball predominantly is going through

817
00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:40,120
Speaker 7: a install, like a like a totally different install. Well,

818
00:39:40,160 --> 00:39:44,200
Speaker 7: they said thirty percent install for this new offense, and

819
00:39:44,239 --> 00:39:47,799
Speaker 7: so you mentioned like, I also think about the fact

820
00:39:47,840 --> 00:39:51,520
Speaker 7: that Skip Pete's not here anymore with the running back coach,

821
00:39:51,560 --> 00:39:54,040
Speaker 7: and then George Edwards on the defensive side, of the

822
00:39:54,040 --> 00:39:56,880
Speaker 7: ball like there are there are there have been changes

823
00:39:56,920 --> 00:39:59,759
Speaker 7: this off season that these gentlemen are having to adjust to,

824
00:40:00,120 --> 00:40:02,520
Speaker 7: and this is the best opportunity for them to start

825
00:40:02,760 --> 00:40:04,360
Speaker 7: getting connected to these coaches.

826
00:40:04,920 --> 00:40:06,640
Speaker 6: It literally does start right here.

827
00:40:06,560 --> 00:40:07,319
Speaker 5: Yeah, it really does.

828
00:40:07,480 --> 00:40:10,160
Speaker 6: There is such a thing as coaching. The coaches track,

829
00:40:10,280 --> 00:40:14,520
Speaker 6: and it's less so with McCarthy the shary because some

830
00:40:14,520 --> 00:40:17,040
Speaker 6: of the names that we mentioned. You know, he's known

831
00:40:17,080 --> 00:40:19,800
Speaker 6: Brian Schottenheimer forever and Brian was her last year. But

832
00:40:20,719 --> 00:40:23,720
Speaker 6: there is something to that now that Mike Slari is

833
00:40:23,760 --> 00:40:26,279
Speaker 6: a veteran. He's been here forever. Yeah, I mean been

834
00:40:26,320 --> 00:40:28,440
Speaker 6: around the league forever. He was he was actually on

835
00:40:28,520 --> 00:40:30,480
Speaker 6: coach Landry's staff for a couple of years in the

836
00:40:30,520 --> 00:40:37,040
Speaker 6: late nineteen eighties. So, but usually when young coaches come

837
00:40:37,080 --> 00:40:40,480
Speaker 6: on to a staff, there is an element of that

838
00:40:40,560 --> 00:40:42,799
Speaker 6: in the OTAs in mini camps as well.

839
00:40:42,920 --> 00:40:45,480
Speaker 4: Even just looking at the quarterbacks coach history here you

840
00:40:45,520 --> 00:40:48,720
Speaker 4: had Doug Nasmeyer last season, and then the two seasons

841
00:40:48,760 --> 00:40:51,560
Speaker 4: before that. Night you have Scott Tolzian, who I'm interested

842
00:40:51,560 --> 00:40:53,280
Speaker 4: to see how Dak Prescott.

843
00:40:52,920 --> 00:40:55,600
Speaker 6: Kind of molds and j Scott what a great guy.

844
00:40:55,800 --> 00:40:58,200
Speaker 4: I'm excited to see that you've missed, so happy for him,

845
00:40:58,280 --> 00:41:02,719
Speaker 4: coach skip to no longer hear Jeff blasco here for

846
00:41:02,800 --> 00:41:05,280
Speaker 4: his first season. So there's just a lot of change.

847
00:41:05,280 --> 00:41:08,520
Speaker 4: And then you know, you talk about players always having

848
00:41:08,520 --> 00:41:10,959
Speaker 4: that second year jump or that third year jump. Same

849
00:41:11,000 --> 00:41:14,360
Speaker 4: goes for coaches. I mean, you have to remember there's

850
00:41:14,880 --> 00:41:18,080
Speaker 4: a pool of new faces walking in And what I

851
00:41:18,120 --> 00:41:22,360
Speaker 4: really appreciate about Mike McCarthy and Dan quinn specifically, just

852
00:41:22,400 --> 00:41:24,480
Speaker 4: over the last year that I've gotten to be around

853
00:41:24,480 --> 00:41:27,480
Speaker 4: them more and more, is they take initiative to start

854
00:41:27,520 --> 00:41:29,600
Speaker 4: connecting with these guys right off the bat.

855
00:41:29,760 --> 00:41:32,920
Speaker 5: Those thirty visits were huge for a lot of those guys.

856
00:41:33,120 --> 00:41:36,239
Speaker 4: They learn about their life and their background, not necessarily

857
00:41:36,280 --> 00:41:37,080
Speaker 4: just football stuff.

858
00:41:37,120 --> 00:41:39,000
Speaker 5: So to me, that goes a long way, and I'm

859
00:41:39,040 --> 00:41:39,799
Speaker 5: excited to see that.

860
00:41:40,120 --> 00:41:43,440
Speaker 4: But before we go, we have a hard stop today, ladies,

861
00:41:43,480 --> 00:41:45,440
Speaker 4: so we have to kind of rush through this. I

862
00:41:45,520 --> 00:41:49,160
Speaker 4: didn't want to skip it though. Position competitions. If you

863
00:41:49,239 --> 00:41:51,560
Speaker 4: had to pick two that you're really gonna hone in

864
00:41:51,640 --> 00:41:55,840
Speaker 4: on from this point, whether it's OTAs to mini camps

865
00:41:55,840 --> 00:41:58,799
Speaker 4: to training camps, what are your two positions where you

866
00:41:58,880 --> 00:42:01,640
Speaker 4: stand right now that you're really keeping an eye on

867
00:42:01,680 --> 00:42:04,360
Speaker 4: that has some some tough competition.

868
00:42:03,880 --> 00:42:05,640
Speaker 5: Because there's a lot that we could talk about. But

869
00:42:05,760 --> 00:42:07,520
Speaker 5: if you had to pick two, what are your two?

870
00:42:08,760 --> 00:42:11,520
Speaker 6: I would say my number one concern there is no

871
00:42:11,600 --> 00:42:14,440
Speaker 6: competition right now because we haven't brought in a second kicker.

872
00:42:14,440 --> 00:42:15,920
Speaker 6: But who's going to be the kicker in this year?

873
00:42:17,040 --> 00:42:20,080
Speaker 4: Don't get me started, please Lord Lord.

874
00:42:20,200 --> 00:42:23,520
Speaker 6: So that that's number one? But which a veteran will

875
00:42:23,520 --> 00:42:25,399
Speaker 6: they sign? And will they do it in the off

876
00:42:25,400 --> 00:42:27,880
Speaker 6: season or wait until training camp? Will there be a

877
00:42:27,880 --> 00:42:30,440
Speaker 6: Brett Maher to come to the rescue midway through camp?

878
00:42:31,080 --> 00:42:33,840
Speaker 6: Is what happened last year. Tristan Viskay, you know, is

879
00:42:33,840 --> 00:42:38,200
Speaker 6: the only kicker on the roster right now. So but

880
00:42:38,360 --> 00:42:42,680
Speaker 6: I'm interested. I'm interested to see how they're going to

881
00:42:43,160 --> 00:42:45,759
Speaker 6: put where are they going to put the people at

882
00:42:46,280 --> 00:42:47,080
Speaker 6: offensive line?

883
00:42:47,239 --> 00:42:50,279
Speaker 5: Yeah, like what the solid line is going to work?

884
00:42:50,400 --> 00:42:52,400
Speaker 6: Well, you know, and that's that's going to be a

885
00:42:52,440 --> 00:42:55,360
Speaker 6: fungible thing. But who you know, where's Tyler going to

886
00:42:55,440 --> 00:42:58,400
Speaker 6: line up to start off with? And then like awesome,

887
00:42:58,440 --> 00:43:00,840
Speaker 6: how are they going to fit him in there? And

888
00:43:00,960 --> 00:43:05,080
Speaker 6: I'm really curious to see how they're going to work

889
00:43:05,120 --> 00:43:07,279
Speaker 6: the different line combinations. I think they're going to be

890
00:43:07,320 --> 00:43:10,080
Speaker 6: a lot of different combinations because they're going to give

891
00:43:10,960 --> 00:43:14,400
Speaker 6: especially the newer guys or the young veterans, you know,

892
00:43:15,080 --> 00:43:17,960
Speaker 6: a chance to show if they can be versatile players.

893
00:43:17,960 --> 00:43:20,280
Speaker 6: So I think that it's going to be real interesting

894
00:43:20,520 --> 00:43:23,800
Speaker 6: to see how the offensive line is mixing and matching.

895
00:43:24,000 --> 00:43:26,799
Speaker 7: Okay, so you said offensive line and kicker, I'm going

896
00:43:26,880 --> 00:43:31,080
Speaker 7: to go with linebacker. I am really going to be

897
00:43:31,160 --> 00:43:32,160
Speaker 7: looking at who.

898
00:43:32,600 --> 00:43:36,120
Speaker 6: I believe that you know, Leydon Van deer Rush is

899
00:43:36,120 --> 00:43:36,879
Speaker 6: going to be your mic.

900
00:43:37,320 --> 00:43:39,959
Speaker 7: And then obviously Demon Clark is having he talk about

901
00:43:39,960 --> 00:43:42,359
Speaker 7: a second year jump, getting a full offseason and being

902
00:43:42,400 --> 00:43:44,080
Speaker 7: able to prepare who's.

903
00:43:43,840 --> 00:43:46,560
Speaker 6: Going to be the guy after that? Who's going to

904
00:43:46,640 --> 00:43:47,240
Speaker 6: be that gentleman?

905
00:43:47,280 --> 00:43:52,560
Speaker 7: Obviously Jubill Cox, you have Demarian Overshown. You also have

906
00:43:52,600 --> 00:43:55,760
Speaker 7: Devin Harper that some of the linebacker coaches have talked about,

907
00:43:56,000 --> 00:43:58,040
Speaker 7: like who's going to be that gentleman to step in

908
00:43:58,520 --> 00:44:01,319
Speaker 7: play special teams. It sounds like he's gonna absolutely but

909
00:44:01,480 --> 00:44:02,799
Speaker 7: also possibly be.

910
00:44:02,760 --> 00:44:05,120
Speaker 6: A gentleman to come in in some situations. You got

911
00:44:05,200 --> 00:44:06,319
Speaker 6: to replace Anthony Barr.

912
00:44:06,440 --> 00:44:10,560
Speaker 7: Yeah, the linebacker position is something that I think they've

913
00:44:10,600 --> 00:44:13,279
Speaker 7: helped out the dts the linebackers are they're going to

914
00:44:13,320 --> 00:44:15,319
Speaker 7: be able to play free. I want to see which

915
00:44:15,360 --> 00:44:19,279
Speaker 7: gentlemen are the guys out there that we who makes

916
00:44:19,280 --> 00:44:21,360
Speaker 7: a difference with that three spot there go?

917
00:44:21,560 --> 00:44:22,120
Speaker 6: Yeah, I love that.

918
00:44:22,560 --> 00:44:24,759
Speaker 5: You know, Christy took mind a kicker.

919
00:44:24,840 --> 00:44:28,200
Speaker 4: Y'all know the passion I have for this kicker situation

920
00:44:28,360 --> 00:44:30,000
Speaker 4: and where it stands. But I'm going to go tight

921
00:44:30,120 --> 00:44:33,040
Speaker 4: end because when you really look at this tight end group,

922
00:44:33,360 --> 00:44:36,920
Speaker 4: they're the youngest group in the room without a veteran.

923
00:44:37,000 --> 00:44:40,840
Speaker 4: Your your veteran per se is Sean mckinn, who really

924
00:44:40,920 --> 00:44:43,520
Speaker 4: hasn't had an opportunity, I think, to take that big

925
00:44:43,640 --> 00:44:46,600
Speaker 4: jump to be fully utilizer at least we haven't seen

926
00:44:46,600 --> 00:44:49,879
Speaker 4: it yet. But I'm looking at this tight end room

927
00:44:49,920 --> 00:44:52,160
Speaker 4: because there's so many question marks right now. You have

928
00:44:52,239 --> 00:44:54,520
Speaker 4: Schoonmaker who's coming in who could very well take that

929
00:44:54,640 --> 00:44:58,040
Speaker 4: number one tight end spot. You have Jake Ferguson, who

930
00:44:58,080 --> 00:45:00,680
Speaker 4: you're talking about second your jump. He is absolutely talked

931
00:45:00,680 --> 00:45:02,440
Speaker 4: about making that second year jump. Is he going to

932
00:45:02,480 --> 00:45:05,200
Speaker 4: be your tight end one? Peyton Hendershot, what are we

933
00:45:05,239 --> 00:45:07,360
Speaker 4: going to see from him? And then you know, just

934
00:45:07,360 --> 00:45:10,359
Speaker 4: Schoonmaker in general, I think gives that tight end room

935
00:45:10,400 --> 00:45:13,879
Speaker 4: some competition, that nobody's really safe, nobody's promised tight end one,

936
00:45:14,160 --> 00:45:17,000
Speaker 4: nobody's promised really anything. And not only that, I'm so

937
00:45:17,160 --> 00:45:19,879
Speaker 4: excited to see how Mike McCarthy utilizes these tight ends

938
00:45:20,200 --> 00:45:23,160
Speaker 4: in his play, calling the creativity. There might not even

939
00:45:23,200 --> 00:45:25,000
Speaker 4: be a tight end one, two, three, or four. They

940
00:45:25,080 --> 00:45:27,239
Speaker 4: might just all be the four horsemen just going out

941
00:45:27,280 --> 00:45:31,640
Speaker 4: and just man causing some havoc. I'm I'm so excited

942
00:45:31,680 --> 00:45:34,360
Speaker 4: to see this tight end room competition and really to

943
00:45:34,360 --> 00:45:36,280
Speaker 4: see them grow and formulate that pastry.

944
00:45:36,360 --> 00:45:39,520
Speaker 6: I think they're all going to get a lot of opportunities,

945
00:45:40,120 --> 00:45:43,760
Speaker 6: and I'm just to build on what you're saying, Jess,

946
00:45:44,160 --> 00:45:48,440
Speaker 6: I'm excited for it, but I'm really interested to see

947
00:45:48,800 --> 00:45:51,359
Speaker 6: how they're going to be utilized. Because we've talked about

948
00:45:51,360 --> 00:45:55,239
Speaker 6: before Peyton Hendershot being more Jarwin esque Blake Jarmon esque

949
00:45:55,280 --> 00:45:58,759
Speaker 6: flex they One thing they were saying about Scoonmaker is

950
00:45:59,760 --> 00:46:02,440
Speaker 6: how how fast he is, and that you know he

951
00:46:02,480 --> 00:46:06,480
Speaker 6: could be a downfilled kind of guy too, so they

952
00:46:06,480 --> 00:46:09,120
Speaker 6: really like his versatility. But how much will these guys

953
00:46:09,120 --> 00:46:12,040
Speaker 6: be flexed out? How many times will we see two

954
00:46:12,040 --> 00:46:14,960
Speaker 6: tight end packages third? So yeah, that's going to be

955
00:46:14,960 --> 00:46:15,560
Speaker 6: a lot of fun.
