18
00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:51,640
Speaker 5: get into. We'll start with a little bit of news

19
00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:54,800
Speaker 5: coming out of the Star on a potential wide receiver

20
00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:57,480
Speaker 5: to add to the mix. We'll also talk a little

21
00:00:57,480 --> 00:00:59,960
Speaker 5: bit about Zeke Elliott and his addition to the team

22
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:02,120
Speaker 5: and what he can bring and what's still left to

23
00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:04,640
Speaker 5: be done at that running back position, and really from

24
00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:06,360
Speaker 5: the running back position, I want to talk about a

25
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:10,000
Speaker 5: little bigger conversation on just your thoughts on the running

26
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:12,520
Speaker 5: back position, to devalue in the running back position and

27
00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:15,959
Speaker 5: how you think maybe this plays into that philosophy. We

28
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:17,840
Speaker 5: hopefully at some point in the show we'll also get

29
00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:19,520
Speaker 5: into a little bit of rookie mining camp talk that

30
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:22,520
Speaker 5: starts up later this week, and we'll talk about some

31
00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:24,959
Speaker 5: big picture looks at some of the things that you

32
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:27,680
Speaker 5: guys will be looking for as the rookies arrive and

33
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:31,440
Speaker 5: make their debuts here in Frisco.

34
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:31,880
Speaker 2: Texas at the Star.

35
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:34,520
Speaker 5: All right, So let's start first with Zay Jones. Cowboys

36
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:36,800
Speaker 5: bring him in for discussion.

37
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:37,560
Speaker 6: Try.

38
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:39,400
Speaker 5: I don't know what it's going to be, but he's

39
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:41,120
Speaker 5: going to be in the building if he's not already

40
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:44,360
Speaker 5: in the building. And my question for you guys, as

41
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:47,880
Speaker 5: I was looking at some of his numbers, he's a

42
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:52,200
Speaker 5: guy that has had some success, a small amount of success.

43
00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:54,920
Speaker 5: You're look at this number from twenty twenty three, not great,

44
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:56,960
Speaker 5: nine games, you had thirty four catches for three hundred

45
00:01:56,960 --> 00:01:59,640
Speaker 5: and twenty one yards and two touchdowns. But twenty twenty two,

46
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 5: which was his best season, he played sixteen games, he

47
00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:05,280
Speaker 5: had eighty two catches, eight hundred and twenty three yards

48
00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:08,320
Speaker 5: and five touchdowns. Pretty good if you're looking at him

49
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 5: potentially as a third wide receiver, talk to me about

50
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:13,160
Speaker 5: what you think about this potential move and how it

51
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:14,000
Speaker 5: could affect the Cowboys.

52
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:17,079
Speaker 8: So sorry, Patrick, First of all, go ahead and get

53
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:20,160
Speaker 8: Robert's son in here. Okay, So for those that don't know,

54
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:21,280
Speaker 8: this is actually Jay.

55
00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:24,080
Speaker 6: Jones giving alright. No, no, not quite, not exactly.

56
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:25,120
Speaker 2: We'll get to that conversation.

57
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:28,080
Speaker 6: It sounds like it's coming, it's not quite.

58
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:30,520
Speaker 8: I mean, if Florino is in the building, so I

59
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:34,000
Speaker 8: mean the competition has already been added, so add more.

60
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:37,079
Speaker 8: All right, But no, for those that don't know, that's

61
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:39,400
Speaker 8: just a reference to the fact that Jay Jones is

62
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:42,440
Speaker 8: Robert Jones's son, which Cowboys former linebacker, former first round

63
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:44,600
Speaker 8: pick in ninety two, went on to win not one,

64
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:46,720
Speaker 8: not two, but three Super Bowls with the Dallas Cowboys.

65
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:48,919
Speaker 8: So a little bit of a legacy here with the

66
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:52,079
Speaker 8: Joneses and the Joneses and the Jones It's nice.

67
00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:53,800
Speaker 6: Okay, that's an accidental bar. I'll take that.

68
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:56,520
Speaker 8: But what I look for in Jay Jones is to

69
00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 8: come in and compete for that seat vacated by Michael Gallup.

70
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:02,240
Speaker 8: We were talking about it before we went hot. He's

71
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:06,680
Speaker 8: not the fastest guy, but catch radius is ridiculous, something

72
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:09,480
Speaker 8: that Michael Gallup kind of became famous for, making those

73
00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:13,400
Speaker 8: acrobatic catches great footwork able to kind of maneuver his

74
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:16,480
Speaker 8: body in space, great special awareness as well. I just

75
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:18,080
Speaker 8: love what he would be able to bring for the

76
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:20,680
Speaker 8: Cowboys because he's not coming into a situation where he

77
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:23,440
Speaker 8: has to compete for WR one or even WR two.

78
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:26,840
Speaker 8: Those rules are cemented between Lamb and Brandon Cooks. But

79
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:29,359
Speaker 8: he could challenge a guy like Jalen Tolward. He could

80
00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:33,080
Speaker 8: challenge most certainly going to challenge the rookie and trying

81
00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:35,120
Speaker 8: to make sure that the Cowboys are set at wide

82
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:38,560
Speaker 8: receiver three and wide receiver four. But I do love

83
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:40,440
Speaker 8: what he brings, and the Cowboys know exactly what was

84
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:43,120
Speaker 8: Zay Jones can do because we were there in that

85
00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:47,560
Speaker 8: press box twenty twenty two when he's Jay Jones had

86
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:50,080
Speaker 8: three touchdowns one hundred and nine yards in that infamous

87
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:50,960
Speaker 8: overtime loss.

88
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:52,119
Speaker 2: Might have been his best game.

89
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:52,480
Speaker 3: I don't know.

90
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:53,840
Speaker 2: I looked at all of his numbers, but.

91
00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:57,000
Speaker 8: Yeah, he certainly twenty twenty two is pretty solid season

92
00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:00,160
Speaker 8: for him. He had over eight hundred yards total. Not

93
00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:04,760
Speaker 8: like you know, that particular game artificially inflated his numbers

94
00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:06,840
Speaker 8: because it was one hundred yard game, granted, but he

95
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:09,520
Speaker 8: also had over eight hundred yards period for that season,

96
00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:11,680
Speaker 8: So strong strong get if they can get him.

97
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:13,360
Speaker 5: Brian, you had a chance to talk to some of

98
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:15,440
Speaker 5: the folks out, Yeah, Hi Jackson, what did you learn.

99
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:19,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, they feel like though that the around the league,

100
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:22,120
Speaker 4: the thought about Zay Jones is the lack of speed,

101
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:25,080
Speaker 4: but they think that when you ask about the route running,

102
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:27,240
Speaker 4: they think, well, listen, you're gonna get a better route

103
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:29,880
Speaker 4: runner than what you had with Gallup, a more consistent

104
00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:33,440
Speaker 4: route runner. The catch radius. Patrick mentioned all that that's

105
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:36,280
Speaker 4: a that's a real plus for him, his ability when

106
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:38,000
Speaker 4: he's coming out of East Carolina and he was a

107
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:39,520
Speaker 4: he was a good player on a poor team that

108
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:42,480
Speaker 4: East Carolina, but he was their only offense that they

109
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:44,240
Speaker 4: really had. So there was kind of hope in the

110
00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:45,960
Speaker 4: league that when he would come in that he would

111
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:48,359
Speaker 4: kind of be able to carry that through. He really

112
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:50,839
Speaker 4: hasn't been able to do it all that well, so

113
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:54,760
Speaker 4: you know, hopefully you get a guy that can come

114
00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:57,040
Speaker 4: in the route running. We talked about the catch radius,

115
00:04:57,120 --> 00:04:59,800
Speaker 4: we talked about the experience we've you know, you can

116
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:03,200
Speaker 4: kind of go with that a little bit with him there,

117
00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:05,480
Speaker 4: but yeah, he's going to be a guy that's going

118
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:07,480
Speaker 4: to compete for a spot. Is he You got to

119
00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:09,120
Speaker 4: look at him. I've told you look at him as

120
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:12,560
Speaker 4: a guy that's more outside in than inside out. People

121
00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:14,520
Speaker 4: always say, well, can you play slot? Can he do?

122
00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:17,080
Speaker 4: And my guys were saying, no, You've got to think

123
00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:18,640
Speaker 4: of him more of an outside guy. If he has

124
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:20,760
Speaker 4: to play inside that, he can do that, but it's

125
00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:22,880
Speaker 4: better when you leave him on the outside.

126
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:25,479
Speaker 5: So which works here because you got Cooks and Right

127
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:27,200
Speaker 5: and Lamb who both can play inside.

128
00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:29,680
Speaker 4: Right right, So you know, the body control balance, all

129
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:32,479
Speaker 4: those things are real, real plus and it's it's like

130
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:36,840
Speaker 4: I say, it's a competitive situation. As we were mentioning thoughts.

131
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:43,800
Speaker 9: I just went on the homepag Dallas. Come did you

132
00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:56,039
Speaker 9: just say the word I'm gonna? I always laugh because

133
00:05:56,440 --> 00:06:00,320
Speaker 9: the writers on Dallas Cowboys, Dot Calm, including Patrick and

134
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:03,880
Speaker 9: both knee Nicks, they just always try to get witty

135
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:06,520
Speaker 9: with all these headlines, you know, for the centerpiece, and.

136
00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:11,880
Speaker 2: Always laugh. Some of them are dumber than the other.

137
00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:12,800
Speaker 2: But it's funny.

138
00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:14,320
Speaker 9: No no, no, it's great.

139
00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:14,800
Speaker 2: Love it.

140
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:19,599
Speaker 4: No but a kid.

141
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:22,480
Speaker 9: They make me laugh every time.

142
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:23,480
Speaker 2: No, no, no, it's good.

143
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:24,960
Speaker 6: We have fun. We have fun here.

144
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:28,479
Speaker 9: It is no. But you know, it's one of those

145
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:31,960
Speaker 9: things that you always wonder when you sign a guy

146
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:35,240
Speaker 9: and you're like, okay, well sign he's not signed yet,

147
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:40,000
Speaker 9: they're still in conversations. But when you always wonder, like, okay,

148
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:43,240
Speaker 9: why if they're good, why are they're still available in

149
00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:44,039
Speaker 9: free agency?

150
00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:45,680
Speaker 4: But when you look at it, don't let.

151
00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:54,400
Speaker 2: There's a reason why. He's the reason why he's creating No.

152
00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:59,240
Speaker 9: But I mean everything you guys said, I agree, he's

153
00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:01,880
Speaker 9: not the great or anything, but I think he can

154
00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:04,279
Speaker 9: bring in. I like the fact that he will bring

155
00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:07,680
Speaker 9: in competition. And we talk about the other guys there

156
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:10,560
Speaker 9: are in the depth chart right now, the guy that

157
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:18,240
Speaker 9: they just drafted, uh r Flower noise floor floor just

158
00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:22,480
Speaker 9: makes it. Well, you look at that and you wonder, Okay,

159
00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:25,280
Speaker 9: what are they thinking about these younger guys, Like where

160
00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:27,600
Speaker 9: does he fit in and all of that. But to me,

161
00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:30,040
Speaker 9: you know, headed into training camp, I'm like, whatever, Like,

162
00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:33,360
Speaker 9: the more bodies the better you're open for competition. It

163
00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:37,720
Speaker 9: hopefully makes and forces these younger players to step up

164
00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:39,920
Speaker 9: their games and want to bring more to the table.

165
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:44,000
Speaker 9: So I'm excited if it does happen. For it, he

166
00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:46,120
Speaker 9: seems like a solid guy. The fact that he's a

167
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:54,040
Speaker 9: veteran guy. He's been around, uh since seventeen, Drafted in seventeen, twenty.

168
00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:55,320
Speaker 6: Seventeen, second round pick up the Bills in.

169
00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:59,320
Speaker 9: Seventeen, so quite a while. And I like that. I'm

170
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:02,080
Speaker 9: always down for more experience in the room, so excited

171
00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:02,400
Speaker 9: for it.

172
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:04,160
Speaker 8: And he's still on the right side of thirty. I

173
00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:05,960
Speaker 8: mean he's twenty nine right now, so he's still on

174
00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:07,880
Speaker 8: the right side of thirty. And I think and for

175
00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:10,080
Speaker 8: those that would say, well, why is he a free agent, Well,

176
00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:12,600
Speaker 8: he's not been a free agent long. It was just

177
00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:14,280
Speaker 8: a couple of weeks ago, if that, when he was

178
00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:17,280
Speaker 8: released by the Jacksonville Jaguars. And he's already host or

179
00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:19,840
Speaker 8: you know, taking visits with teams, Cowboys being one of

180
00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:22,000
Speaker 8: them obviously, so he's not going to be on the

181
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:22,640
Speaker 8: market for long.

182
00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:23,640
Speaker 2: Yeah.

183
00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:26,280
Speaker 5: My question you brought up, Jalen Tobert. I think it's

184
00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:29,720
Speaker 5: the big question in the room is as you look

185
00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:32,000
Speaker 5: at someone like Jalen Tobert, whatever you think of what

186
00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:34,520
Speaker 5: he's done to this point, the Cowboys are obviously hopeful

187
00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:36,760
Speaker 5: that he's ready to take the next step and become

188
00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:40,680
Speaker 5: more productive in their offense. Does making a signing like this,

189
00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:43,400
Speaker 5: if they decide to do it, slow down the progress

190
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:46,200
Speaker 5: of For someone like Jalen Tolbert, who again you would

191
00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:48,559
Speaker 5: expect at this point you need to start to see

192
00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:51,760
Speaker 5: that that he's progressing, and will you be able to

193
00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:53,480
Speaker 5: do that if there's another guy that's going to be

194
00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:54,319
Speaker 5: taking those reps.

195
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:57,240
Speaker 8: I would hope from a Jalen Tobert standpoint, he would

196
00:08:57,320 --> 00:09:00,680
Speaker 8: use it as motivation to make sure that the guy

197
00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:03,600
Speaker 8: come in can't take his spot, can't take his reps.

198
00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:05,480
Speaker 8: It's at this point it's on the player, right. So

199
00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:07,079
Speaker 8: it's like you said, I'm boy, we're going into the

200
00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:09,079
Speaker 8: training camp here in a couple of months, bring all

201
00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:11,040
Speaker 8: the talent, bring all the bodies, and just let it

202
00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:13,360
Speaker 8: sort itself out. If you're Jaalen Tobert, you need to

203
00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:16,680
Speaker 8: be focused on building off of the confidence from year two.

204
00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:20,160
Speaker 8: You had a fantastic year two as far as efficiency

205
00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:24,720
Speaker 8: for opportunities given you've kind of, you know, become a

206
00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:27,480
Speaker 8: student of the game behind Brandon Cooks and CD Lamb,

207
00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:30,440
Speaker 8: and you already you know the system. Just focus on

208
00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:32,720
Speaker 8: the positives. If you're jailing Tobert, say okay, well, you

209
00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:34,520
Speaker 8: know what I'm going to continue to go out here

210
00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:37,040
Speaker 8: and proved, because this is the front office and the

211
00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:40,320
Speaker 8: coaching staff saying, look, we believe that you can do it. However,

212
00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:43,240
Speaker 8: just in case we're going to bring this other guy in.

213
00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:45,680
Speaker 8: If you're jailing Tobert, don't let that get in your head.

214
00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:48,120
Speaker 8: Don't revert back to year one, Jalen Tobert where you were,

215
00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:50,280
Speaker 8: you know, kind of ify as far as your confidence

216
00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:53,200
Speaker 8: and your self confidence, walk in the power that you

217
00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:55,760
Speaker 8: have established from twenty twenty three and make sure that

218
00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:58,280
Speaker 8: he can't come in and take your spot. Make sure

219
00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:01,760
Speaker 8: that Cavante Turpin doesn't get your make sure that Ryan RF,

220
00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:04,120
Speaker 8: make sure that RF doesn't come in and take your reps.

221
00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:06,840
Speaker 8: So that's how Jenaln Tolbert has to approach it. Because

222
00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:09,440
Speaker 8: he's most certainly got the talent, right, it's all in

223
00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:12,040
Speaker 8: how he handles all of this competition coming at him,

224
00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:13,040
Speaker 8: because it's going to keep coming.

225
00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:14,600
Speaker 4: I think there's a lot of questions about him as

226
00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:18,240
Speaker 4: a player. About who about the Tooberbert. Yeah, I mean

227
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:21,080
Speaker 4: you don't sit there and draft, you know, a receiver,

228
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:23,880
Speaker 4: And no it wasn't high. But the way they talk

229
00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:26,719
Speaker 4: about this kid, you know, the floor and away with

230
00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:29,080
Speaker 4: I mean he was a I mean he was a

231
00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:31,720
Speaker 4: guy that they really really coveted, you know when they

232
00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:33,760
Speaker 4: got down to the end. I mean like he was

233
00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:35,800
Speaker 4: one of those guys when you talk about the length

234
00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:38,960
Speaker 4: of speed, the ability to catch the football, make plays

235
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:42,280
Speaker 4: after the catch. You know, you go out and and

236
00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:45,560
Speaker 4: it's it's and then you go add a Zay Jones,

237
00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:48,680
Speaker 4: a veteran player. They don't they're they're they're telling the

238
00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:51,320
Speaker 4: player right there, listen, you either have to make it

239
00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:53,240
Speaker 4: happen this year or you're going to be gone. I

240
00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:55,800
Speaker 4: think there's a couple of guys on this team they're

241
00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:58,280
Speaker 4: in that mode right now. I think Sam Williams and

242
00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:01,160
Speaker 4: I think that that Tolbert of the two guys that

243
00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:03,040
Speaker 4: they put a lot in. As matter of fact, they

244
00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:06,000
Speaker 4: were taking right one in front of the other, and

245
00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:07,800
Speaker 4: I think there's a lot of pressure on them to

246
00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:10,280
Speaker 4: perform this year. There's Stephen Jones when he was talking

247
00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:12,440
Speaker 4: with us on one oh five three the Fan about

248
00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:14,600
Speaker 4: younger players stepping up and all that. He wasn't just

249
00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:17,200
Speaker 4: talking about Mozzi Smith and these other guys that you

250
00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:20,800
Speaker 4: know and Schoonmaker. He was talking about the Sam Williams

251
00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:22,640
Speaker 4: who was picked in the second round. He was talking

252
00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:25,640
Speaker 4: about the Jaylen Tolbert that was picked in the third round.

253
00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:29,240
Speaker 4: There's times they're to the point now where these guys

254
00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:31,920
Speaker 4: have to play, and I wouldn't be surprised if they

255
00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:34,880
Speaker 4: don't perform well in training camp. You can move on

256
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:37,400
Speaker 4: from these guys, you know, you don't. They don't have

257
00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:40,440
Speaker 4: time anymore to sit there and allow two or three

258
00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:43,360
Speaker 4: years for guys to develop, especially with their cap situation.

259
00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:46,480
Speaker 4: You know they got rid of Michael Gallup. You know

260
00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:48,960
Speaker 4: that that's cost them money right there. They're trying to

261
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:52,280
Speaker 4: fix the third receiver problem. They're throwing resources at it

262
00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:54,959
Speaker 4: right now, but they're also throwing it knowing that Jalen

263
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:58,200
Speaker 4: Tolbert's on this roster and he needs to play better.

264
00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:01,120
Speaker 9: That's what's crazy. When you look at the roster and

265
00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:05,720
Speaker 9: everybody on this list and the question marks around everyone.

266
00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:09,000
Speaker 9: You have question marks about this whole new rookie class.

267
00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:13,840
Speaker 9: You have question mark about guys from last year's draft

268
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:17,480
Speaker 9: and two years ago. So it's like it's it's wild

269
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:23,400
Speaker 9: the amount of guys going since three two. I can't

270
00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:26,800
Speaker 9: do math now drafts to go three drafts to go

271
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:29,320
Speaker 9: because it's one two three yeah, three years in a row.

272
00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:32,199
Speaker 9: Draft classes that you have a bunch of question marks

273
00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:36,120
Speaker 9: and now you're gambling em betting on this that this

274
00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:39,080
Speaker 9: is going to pan out and work out this younger talent.

275
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:41,240
Speaker 9: So it's just it's crazy when you look at the

276
00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:44,720
Speaker 9: amount of experience and the lack of experience per se.

277
00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:47,040
Speaker 4: We've given them a lot of credit, and rightfully so,

278
00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:50,160
Speaker 4: for having good drafts, but they need this this draft.

279
00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:53,680
Speaker 4: Of course, the last draft is the question. The draft

280
00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:56,520
Speaker 4: before this last one is in question. But the draft

281
00:12:56,559 --> 00:12:58,760
Speaker 4: before that, the Sam Williams and the Tober Draft and

282
00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:01,559
Speaker 4: all that that that right there in itself too. You know,

283
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:03,360
Speaker 4: they've got a couple of players out of that draft

284
00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:05,240
Speaker 4: they get played, but you know, they put a lot

285
00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:07,760
Speaker 4: into Sam and they put a lot into Tolbert as well.

286
00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:10,520
Speaker 4: They need those guys, and you know, maybe it's going

287
00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:12,240
Speaker 4: to be a time where they say, well maybe you know,

288
00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:14,640
Speaker 4: they've had the last couple of drafts that haven't been great,

289
00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:17,679
Speaker 4: you know, I mean, they've missed on some second round picks.

290
00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:20,439
Speaker 4: Though if you look at at the corner from Kentucky,

291
00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:23,640
Speaker 4: you know that that came through here and it didn't

292
00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:27,439
Speaker 4: pan out. Yeah, Joseph. So you know you can't continually

293
00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:30,559
Speaker 4: miss on second round picks here, you know, no team can.

294
00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:32,520
Speaker 4: I'm not just talking about Dallas Cowboys. I'm talking about

295
00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:34,440
Speaker 4: no teams can. You know, you got to find a

296
00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:37,080
Speaker 4: way those second third round picks. You've got to find

297
00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:38,600
Speaker 4: a way to make your team and make your team

298
00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:40,760
Speaker 4: better if you're going to be in a situation where

299
00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:45,679
Speaker 4: you have to pay your players premium money, especially your

300
00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:46,720
Speaker 4: top star players.

301
00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:49,480
Speaker 8: And honestly, circling back to Jayaln Tolbert, I don't know

302
00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:52,600
Speaker 8: that you know, potentially adding a guy like Zay Jones

303
00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:56,000
Speaker 8: should should ripple your waters any more than the fact

304
00:13:56,080 --> 00:13:58,520
Speaker 8: that who's on the roster right now. Right, So they

305
00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:02,520
Speaker 8: re signed Martavis Bright. They see something in Martavis Bryant.

306
00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:04,680
Speaker 8: I hear nothing but good things about what the Cowboys

307
00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:06,360
Speaker 8: expect him to do in training camp. We'll see if

308
00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:08,480
Speaker 8: it pans out. But you got guys like him who

309
00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:10,960
Speaker 8: they just recently had Tyron Billy Johnson. They brought Tyron

310
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:13,520
Speaker 8: Billy Johnson back. And then let's talk about Jalen Brooks.

311
00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:14,000
Speaker 6: Right.

312
00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:16,360
Speaker 8: We've mentioned him a few times on this podcast. Jalen

313
00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:18,520
Speaker 8: Brooks when he was given the opportunities as a first

314
00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:21,720
Speaker 8: year guy last year, seventh round pick, he showed some things.

315
00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:23,520
Speaker 8: He was also one of the headliners or one of

316
00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:26,880
Speaker 8: the highlights I should say, consistently in training camp last season.

317
00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:29,200
Speaker 8: What does the year two leap look like for Jalen Brooks.

318
00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:31,720
Speaker 8: So those are guys that are already on the roster

319
00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:35,320
Speaker 8: before you went and added RF because until I get

320
00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:38,880
Speaker 8: his name for Illinoy, yeah, Ilinois, Ilinoid, until you before

321
00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:41,280
Speaker 8: you even add him in the draft, and before you

322
00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:43,920
Speaker 8: potentially add Zay Jones to the roster, there was already

323
00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:45,920
Speaker 8: a ton of competition if you're Jalen Tobert for that

324
00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:48,400
Speaker 8: wide receiver three spots. So at this point, if you're

325
00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:50,480
Speaker 8: Jalen Tobert, doesn't matter who else you add, because there

326
00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:53,040
Speaker 8: was already such a high level of competition a lot

327
00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:55,440
Speaker 8: of bodies. You just know at this point you got

328
00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:57,160
Speaker 8: to go forward and you got to put the pedal

329
00:14:57,160 --> 00:14:57,600
Speaker 8: to the floor.

330
00:14:57,720 --> 00:14:57,880
Speaker 4: Yeah.

331
00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:00,120
Speaker 5: I think Sam Williams is a good example of of

332
00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:02,960
Speaker 5: what the question is here when you start talking about

333
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:06,080
Speaker 5: somebody like like like Jalen Tolbert, because I think for

334
00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:08,600
Speaker 5: these last couple of years he's had so there's been

335
00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:11,640
Speaker 5: so much depth ahead of him, right, and the things

336
00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:14,160
Speaker 5: that we saw from him that were a bit concerning

337
00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:16,600
Speaker 5: were the kinds of mental mistakes that you don't want

338
00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:19,120
Speaker 5: to see. And I think those veterans that were ahead

339
00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:21,960
Speaker 5: of him probably gave the coaching staff a lot more

340
00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:24,640
Speaker 5: comfort putting those veterans out there that they wouldn't make

341
00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:27,760
Speaker 5: those kinds of mistakes. Well, now those guys have been

342
00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:30,240
Speaker 5: moved out of the way. They are now in Washington,

343
00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:32,680
Speaker 5: so and so now you've got an opportunity to move

344
00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:35,120
Speaker 5: Sam Williams up and you get to see is he

345
00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:37,400
Speaker 5: going to sink or swim? Is that talent going to

346
00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:39,880
Speaker 5: shine through, which we've seen some of that, or all

347
00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:42,200
Speaker 5: the mental mistakes going to shine through, which we've seen

348
00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:44,000
Speaker 5: some of that. But I think it's the same thing

349
00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:46,000
Speaker 5: for Tobert's going to be in a situation that's a

350
00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:48,400
Speaker 5: little different from the standpoint he may have to actually,

351
00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:51,480
Speaker 5: as you said, battle and prove his way into that

352
00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:54,680
Speaker 5: third spot versus it'll just just being there because all

353
00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:56,320
Speaker 5: the other guys have been moved out his way.

354
00:15:56,360 --> 00:16:00,400
Speaker 4: They drafted that Marshanneeland too. Yeah, absolutely think about Sam

355
00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:02,280
Speaker 4: Williams and what he's going to have to deal with

356
00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:05,400
Speaker 4: with that Sam Sam Sam Williams can rush the passer,

357
00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:08,880
Speaker 4: Marsham Kneeling can play the run. If if Marshaw Kneeling

358
00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:11,360
Speaker 4: can play the run and rush the passer, Sam Williams

359
00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:13,280
Speaker 4: is not gonna have a job. That's just I mean,

360
00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:14,800
Speaker 4: they're gonna put the best. They're gonna put the guy

361
00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:17,360
Speaker 4: on there that can do both. But I think Sam

362
00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:19,760
Speaker 4: has the ability to be a better rusher right now

363
00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:23,080
Speaker 4: than Neelan does. But the fact that they're trying, if

364
00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:26,000
Speaker 4: they're trying to really shore up playing the run defense,

365
00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:29,320
Speaker 4: Neelan's a better run defender than Sam Williams is and

366
00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:32,000
Speaker 4: that's where that's the advantage to have. So Sam, there's

367
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:34,760
Speaker 4: a couple of guys, like to say, the receiver, Tolbert Williams,

368
00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:37,640
Speaker 4: these guys they're on alert. I mean you could say

369
00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:41,720
Speaker 4: depth and all these other things, but the organization is

370
00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:43,800
Speaker 4: telling you right now what they think of your play,

371
00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:47,280
Speaker 4: and so that needs to be first and foremost in

372
00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:48,120
Speaker 4: these guys' minds.

373
00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:50,440
Speaker 8: And make no mistake about it. Sam Williams, he feels

374
00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:52,480
Speaker 8: the pressure, he understands it. Yeah, I was speaking to

375
00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:54,480
Speaker 8: him after the home run derby of the Gliant home

376
00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:57,400
Speaker 8: run Derby last Wednesday, I want to say and asked him,

377
00:16:57,440 --> 00:16:59,200
Speaker 8: I said, what is what does year three have to

378
00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:02,360
Speaker 8: look like for you? And basically he said, this year

379
00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:05,119
Speaker 8: that's coming up is going to define the rest of

380
00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:09,439
Speaker 8: my NFL career. His words so and it can words

381
00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:11,840
Speaker 8: could not be more true, especially you talk about with

382
00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:14,080
Speaker 8: Stephen was saying to one, O five three the fan

383
00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:16,520
Speaker 8: listen to Stephen what he was saying in the post

384
00:17:16,600 --> 00:17:20,320
Speaker 8: draft press conference. He was drawing a circle around Sam

385
00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:23,160
Speaker 8: Williams and needing to see more from him. So if

386
00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:24,760
Speaker 8: you're Sam Williams, you're feeling it.

387
00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:27,920
Speaker 4: Fojoko too, by the way, Yeah, and maybe maybe Fo

388
00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:31,879
Speaker 4: Hooko was drafted from a previous administration, So you know

389
00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:34,439
Speaker 4: that's important right there. There's a fourth round pick that

390
00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:38,199
Speaker 4: was selected and you know, had a rookie year that

391
00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:40,400
Speaker 4: he wants to kind of forget being an active, being

392
00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:43,920
Speaker 4: injured and all that. You know, his you know, there's

393
00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:46,360
Speaker 4: no giving about what Mike Zimmer and those guys now,

394
00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:48,080
Speaker 4: they'll coach this kid up, but he's got to be

395
00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:50,520
Speaker 4: able to show. But there's another example of a fourth

396
00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:54,520
Speaker 4: round guy that again previous regime. It might be that

397
00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:56,360
Speaker 4: might be the big problem right there. But he's got

398
00:17:56,359 --> 00:17:58,120
Speaker 4: to prove that he could play for this this crew

399
00:17:58,200 --> 00:17:58,600
Speaker 4: right here.

400
00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:00,600
Speaker 2: All right, let's take our first will come back.

401
00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:02,959
Speaker 5: Let's talk about Zeke Ellett, talk about the running position

402
00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:05,920
Speaker 5: and our overall philosophy on the running back position, where

403
00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:08,120
Speaker 5: it is and where the Cowboys place it. We'll be back, Dallas,

404
00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:09,040
Speaker 5: Cowboys dot Com Radio.

405
00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:12,159
Speaker 10: Todd thought it would be secure to jog in the

406
00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:15,160
Speaker 10: cheatah Savannah. Todd believed the big Cat repellent he bought

407
00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:18,080
Speaker 10: online was reliable. And now Todd is trying to be

408
00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:20,800
Speaker 10: faster than this cheetah that can run eighty miles per hour.

409
00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:23,159
Speaker 10: But the good news is Todd has at and T

410
00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:25,919
Speaker 10: five gs. It is fast, reliable, and secure, and he

411
00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:28,200
Speaker 10: learned the best thing to do is stop running and

412
00:18:28,359 --> 00:18:30,879
Speaker 10: toss her the backpack with the beef stew At and

413
00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:34,560

500
00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:09,639
Speaker 5: very trust me. By September of every year, I'm like,

501
00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:14,639

00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:17,000
Speaker 2: It's yeah, it is a yeah bragging right?

504
00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:19,800
Speaker 5: Oka is a situation where you see your counterparts around

505
00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:22,240
Speaker 5: the league they know and you know who got the

506
00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:23,200
Speaker 5: better of whom.

507
00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:24,480
Speaker 2: When it came to schedule release.

508
00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:27,919
Speaker 4: Okay, So yeah, is there is there a is there

509
00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:29,400
Speaker 4: an ultimate judge for this?

510
00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:29,600
Speaker 13: No?

511
00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:34,680
Speaker 4: So like like you know, like like everyone with restaurant

512
00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:38,359
Speaker 4: people have Michelin Stars. Like if a restaurant gets Michelin Stars,

513
00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:40,800
Speaker 4: you're known as the best. There's nothing more than nobody

514
00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:42,840
Speaker 4: that says, Derek, you guys were the best today.

515
00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:47,480
Speaker 5: No, everybody will judge and ultimately, ultimately we all will

516
00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:49,879
Speaker 5: look at each other and will know, you know, if

517
00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:50,679
Speaker 5: they got you or not.

518
00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:52,320
Speaker 2: You'll know if they were better than you or not.

519
00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:53,840
Speaker 2: It's it's very well.

520
00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:55,960
Speaker 4: You also know if somebody didn't do a good job.

521
00:22:55,840 --> 00:22:58,200
Speaker 5: Yes, you do, you just you don't want to necessarily

522
00:22:58,200 --> 00:23:00,719
Speaker 5: call them out, but you know you you know, and

523
00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:01,840
Speaker 5: they know that.

524
00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:04,120
Speaker 2: They didn't do that good at job. They didn't really resonate.

525
00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:06,600
Speaker 2: So okay, yeah, it's a it's a big dish.

526
00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:09,000
Speaker 4: Can we go, like are the odds for this? Like

527
00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:10,840
Speaker 4: who's going to be the best? I mean, like are

528
00:23:10,840 --> 00:23:13,119
Speaker 4: the cowboys? Like? Uh, you know five to two.

529
00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:17,679
Speaker 2: Were consistently among the best. I would say, but I

530
00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:17,960
Speaker 2: don't know.

531
00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:20,240
Speaker 4: You want to call it the one you want to

532
00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:21,040
Speaker 4: do it the ones.

533
00:23:22,560 --> 00:23:23,919
Speaker 9: You can let other people say that.

534
00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:26,159
Speaker 2: I'm not yourself, man, I shouldn't say it.

535
00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:27,439
Speaker 4: You want to call it the ones now?

536
00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:27,879
Speaker 9: Will not?

537
00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:29,960
Speaker 2: No, I respect all of my colleagues.

538
00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:32,040
Speaker 4: If I were to you didn't do that, you walked

539
00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:34,480
Speaker 4: into your So can you believe this crap? Yes?

540
00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:37,720
Speaker 2: And that's what we're talking privately, not just saying you

541
00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:38,359
Speaker 2: never did that.

542
00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:41,600
Speaker 6: No, never, I can't believe. I'm just Kendrick Lamard. You

543
00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:43,719
Speaker 6: be humble, be humble.

544
00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:46,400
Speaker 5: I expect that from them. Like I said, everybody needs

545
00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:48,720
Speaker 5: an amber in their life. It makes sure that you

546
00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:54,560
Speaker 5: never think too highly amused. Keep amber in your life.

547
00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:56,879
Speaker 2: All right?

548
00:23:57,000 --> 00:23:59,440
Speaker 9: Also float times. Yeah, but then when you get to

549
00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:00,199
Speaker 9: highest I O.

550
00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:06,040
Speaker 5: I think Nick would disagree with that.

551
00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:08,320
Speaker 6: Yeah, okay, guys, all right.

552
00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:10,720
Speaker 2: Let's talk about Zeke Kelly signed a one year deal.

553
00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:14,480
Speaker 5: Do you guys, here's the blunt question I have for

554
00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:17,439
Speaker 5: you on Week one of the NFL season, do you

555
00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:19,400
Speaker 5: expect Zeke Kelly to be the starter at running back

556
00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:21,320
Speaker 5: with this team?

557
00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:23,840
Speaker 6: As we have this conversation, Yes, I do.

558
00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:28,000
Speaker 4: I think it right now to yes, Yes, we're in

559
00:24:28,119 --> 00:24:28,840
Speaker 4: number fifteen.

560
00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:31,719
Speaker 2: All right, so you all agree that how concerned are

561
00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:32,280
Speaker 2: you with that?

562
00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:37,280
Speaker 4: Well, the thing, the thing that gives you hope there

563
00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:41,880
Speaker 4: is hoping, as Amber likes to say, is that we'll

564
00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:44,040
Speaker 4: see the upgrades at the tackle spot.

565
00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:45,000
Speaker 6: We'll see the.

566
00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:49,080
Speaker 4: Upgrades at potentially the center spot, thank you. Uh. We

567
00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:53,640
Speaker 4: will see with the health of the right tackle. Need

568
00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:55,959
Speaker 4: to see what the point of attack blocking looks like

569
00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:58,280
Speaker 4: with the tight ends and camp and stuff like that.

570
00:24:58,520 --> 00:25:02,200
Speaker 4: So uh, Dallas defense is committed now to trying to

571
00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:04,600
Speaker 4: play better run defense. So you'll see some battles in

572
00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:07,000
Speaker 4: training camp. If you see Dallas moving the ball on

573
00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:09,520
Speaker 4: a defense, you're saying, oh, well, Dallas's defense might be

574
00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:13,200
Speaker 4: in trouble, or Dallas's run offense looks a lot better

575
00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:15,080
Speaker 4: as we're sitting there watching these practice.

576
00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:15,520
Speaker 2: And we won't really know.

577
00:25:15,760 --> 00:25:18,160
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, but there'll be some of those those padded

578
00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:20,560
Speaker 4: practices where you'll do the nine on seven drills and

579
00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:22,919
Speaker 4: all of a sudden they can't tackle Zeke or the backs,

580
00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:25,600
Speaker 4: but you could see holes or you could see, man,

581
00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:30,359
Speaker 4: they're getting crushed. You know, Neelan is crushing Ferguson at

582
00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:33,480
Speaker 4: the point of attack or or you know, Steal. It's

583
00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:36,879
Speaker 4: not looking very good handling tank right now. They're gonna

584
00:25:37,280 --> 00:25:39,159
Speaker 4: the back is going to make a difference. But I

585
00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:43,040
Speaker 4: think the upgrades with the offensive line could maybe mask

586
00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:45,159
Speaker 4: some of the things that you might have to deal with.

587
00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:47,520
Speaker 4: I still wish they had. People will tell you though,

588
00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:51,440
Speaker 4: in this organization that watch Rico Daddle run and they say,

589
00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:53,960
Speaker 4: you do see a physical back, but you do see

590
00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:58,119
Speaker 4: some some shiftinginess to his game. So that's what I

591
00:25:58,240 --> 00:26:00,199
Speaker 4: was trying to get, you know, Lloyd the kid from

592
00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:03,520
Speaker 4: usc Ripe, Tennessee those guys, That's what I was kind

593
00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:06,600
Speaker 4: of hopeful for. But now what I have, I'm more

594
00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:10,239
Speaker 4: betting on the offensive line and the tight ends and

595
00:26:10,359 --> 00:26:12,640
Speaker 4: see how the backs plug into.

596
00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:15,399
Speaker 8: That perfectly stated, I wrote that exact thing or that

597
00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:19,200
Speaker 8: exact line of thought in last week's Science Lab kind

598
00:26:19,200 --> 00:26:22,359
Speaker 8: of reviewing or previewing the return of Ezekiel Elliot? What

599
00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:24,520
Speaker 8: is the impact really mean for the running back position?

600
00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:27,119
Speaker 8: So two things are true. One, I'm on the record

601
00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:28,760
Speaker 8: and I'm still on this hill. I wish that they

602
00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:32,200
Speaker 8: had grabbed a running back in this draft. I wanted

603
00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:35,520
Speaker 8: them to tandem that rookie with Ezekiel Elliott and then

604
00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:37,800
Speaker 8: mix Erico dalala Win to see how that three headed

605
00:26:37,840 --> 00:26:40,760
Speaker 8: monster would work. They didn't get the draft pick, but

606
00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:42,960
Speaker 8: they did sign Zeke, which was the other half of

607
00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:46,000
Speaker 8: the thing I wanted them to do. Great, wonderful. Now

608
00:26:46,040 --> 00:26:48,239
Speaker 8: for those that are saying, well, you know what are

609
00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:50,800
Speaker 8: you getting from Zeke? First of all, you're getting short yardage.

610
00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:53,520
Speaker 8: You're getting a guy who will instantly the best pass

611
00:26:53,560 --> 00:26:56,000
Speaker 8: protector in your running backs room. You're getting a guy

612
00:26:56,040 --> 00:26:59,000
Speaker 8: who already knows. The system knows your quarterback, will protect

613
00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:01,680
Speaker 8: your quarterback quite literally with his life, knows your head coach,

614
00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:04,560
Speaker 8: so forth, and so on. But I love what Brian

615
00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:07,560
Speaker 8: pointed out because this year, and we talked about it

616
00:27:07,600 --> 00:27:10,440
Speaker 8: a lot last year, it wasn't all on Tony Pollard,

617
00:27:10,560 --> 00:27:12,480
Speaker 8: it wasn't all on Rico Dalo. As far as the

618
00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:15,600
Speaker 8: running back struggles. They had their struggles, but there were

619
00:27:15,640 --> 00:27:18,760
Speaker 8: times where the lanes just weren't there at being opened

620
00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:20,240
Speaker 8: at the point of attack, and some of that, A

621
00:27:20,280 --> 00:27:22,480
Speaker 8: lot of that goes to you the merry go round

622
00:27:22,520 --> 00:27:26,040
Speaker 8: because of injuries and personnel swapping out. Fine, now we're

623
00:27:26,040 --> 00:27:28,280
Speaker 8: in twenty twenty four. You add a guy like Tyler

624
00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:30,080
Speaker 8: got In with your first round pick. Yes, he's going

625
00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:31,720
Speaker 8: to have to go through the crash course. We'll see

626
00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:33,960
Speaker 8: what that looks like. We want Cooper BB. I'm just

627
00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:37,119
Speaker 8: going to presume Cooper BB is your starting center in

628
00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:40,119
Speaker 8: week one. If you have that interior, we'll see what

629
00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:43,359
Speaker 8: happens with got In hopefully still is feeling much better

630
00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:45,679
Speaker 8: with that much time removed from his torn acl But

631
00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:48,440
Speaker 8: look at this interior. It's Cooper BB, it's Zach Martin.

632
00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:53,160
Speaker 8: It's Tyler Smith. Okay, if that trio can be as

633
00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:56,280
Speaker 8: dominant as we believe they can be, then your running

634
00:27:56,280 --> 00:27:58,880
Speaker 8: backs are going to get their yards because the lanes

635
00:27:58,920 --> 00:28:01,240
Speaker 8: are going to be open. You're gonna blink. Zeke's going

636
00:28:01,280 --> 00:28:02,600
Speaker 8: to be at the second level. Ricle is going to

637
00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:04,119
Speaker 8: be at the second level. Then it's just on that

638
00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:06,360
Speaker 8: running back to make moves in space. And I love

639
00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:08,680
Speaker 8: that Brian brought up the elusiveness of Rico Dwell because

640
00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:11,760
Speaker 8: it's there. He's not the archetype of Zeke as far

641
00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:13,840
Speaker 8: as being able to get you that short yardage. We

642
00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:15,840
Speaker 8: saw that last season, but we've seen that he can

643
00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:17,400
Speaker 8: be the archetype of Tony Pollard.

644
00:28:17,520 --> 00:28:19,840
Speaker 6: You get him in space. He's shifty, he's elusive, he

645
00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:20,720
Speaker 6: can use some quickness.

646
00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:22,920
Speaker 8: So I think a lot of the success, I know,

647
00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:25,480
Speaker 8: a lot of the success of this current running back

648
00:28:25,560 --> 00:28:27,520
Speaker 8: corps is not even going to be on the caliber

649
00:28:27,560 --> 00:28:29,280
Speaker 8: of running back. It's going to be on the caliber

650
00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:31,679
Speaker 8: of who's opening the lanes in front of them. And

651
00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:34,080
Speaker 8: I think that with the Cowboys addressing that with Cooper

652
00:28:34,119 --> 00:28:36,720
Speaker 8: BB and Tyler Goydon, I think they're on the right path.

653
00:28:36,960 --> 00:28:39,280
Speaker 4: Be interesting to see what they do with Due's fun. Yeah,

654
00:28:39,280 --> 00:28:43,480
Speaker 4: because there's the there's the shiftiness, there's the quickness, there's

655
00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:47,160
Speaker 4: the maybe not the finish of you know, backs with

656
00:28:47,320 --> 00:28:48,920
Speaker 4: like his speed. But you know, the one thing when

657
00:28:48,920 --> 00:28:51,120
Speaker 4: you watched him play at can't say he had nowhere

658
00:28:51,160 --> 00:28:53,680
Speaker 4: to go running the ball this past season. I mean

659
00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:56,520
Speaker 4: and and and it's not his fault if he's getting

660
00:28:56,560 --> 00:28:58,640
Speaker 4: hit at you know, at the line of scrimmature, behind

661
00:28:58,640 --> 00:28:59,560
Speaker 4: the line of scrimmagine, but.

662
00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:01,200
Speaker 6: Who is block and form at Cannas.

663
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:04,120
Speaker 4: Date, Oh well yeah they had no bb Yeah, they

664
00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:07,680
Speaker 4: had had a physical offensive line. So yeah, yeah, it's

665
00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:09,320
Speaker 4: going to be I think we'll be able to tell

666
00:29:09,320 --> 00:29:11,680
Speaker 4: in training camp real quick. I think we'll be able

667
00:29:11,680 --> 00:29:14,320
Speaker 4: to see those those drills, the nine on seven drills,

668
00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:17,680
Speaker 4: the team drills. Just watching them, you know, go through.

669
00:29:17,760 --> 00:29:20,400
Speaker 4: You can see if the guys are getting movement or

670
00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:22,720
Speaker 4: getting that, you know, because you have to give these

671
00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:25,840
Speaker 4: backs an opportunity. And I think Ezekiel It can still

672
00:29:25,880 --> 00:29:28,280
Speaker 4: run the ball, uh, but you got to give him

673
00:29:28,280 --> 00:29:31,400
Speaker 4: space to get It's now he's not the twenty sixteen

674
00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:35,600
Speaker 4: or twenty seventeen guy, but his determination to get yards

675
00:29:35,960 --> 00:29:38,320
Speaker 4: will help you if you actually block things up front.

676
00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:40,840
Speaker 8: I also had this really quickly before we have an amber.

677
00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:45,760
Speaker 8: There's still some juice in Ezekiel Elliott's wheels, for lack

678
00:29:45,760 --> 00:29:48,080
Speaker 8: of a better way to put it in space. If

679
00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:50,640
Speaker 8: you go back and you look at that play when

680
00:29:50,640 --> 00:29:53,000
Speaker 8: he was with the Patriots, the seventy yard.

681
00:29:54,280 --> 00:29:54,560
Speaker 6: Swing.

682
00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:56,840
Speaker 8: He turned that into a seventy yard touchdown and got

683
00:29:56,880 --> 00:29:59,480
Speaker 8: called back because of a penalty on one of his

684
00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:03,760
Speaker 8: offenses of lineman, I believe. But that showed me that, yeah,

685
00:30:03,840 --> 00:30:05,880
Speaker 8: he's not the home run hitter that he was coming

686
00:30:05,920 --> 00:30:08,200
Speaker 8: out of Ohio State or in twenty sixteen or maybe

687
00:30:08,240 --> 00:30:11,360
Speaker 8: even twenty seventeen. But I think that that type of

688
00:30:11,560 --> 00:30:13,800
Speaker 8: you know, play is still in the back pocket for

689
00:30:13,880 --> 00:30:16,000
Speaker 8: McCarthy to pull out every once in a while to say, hey,

690
00:30:16,080 --> 00:30:18,960
Speaker 8: you think that he can only do the dirty work.

691
00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:21,720
Speaker 8: You catch him outside one of those swing routes and he,

692
00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:23,800
Speaker 8: you know, takes it deep. I just wanted to put

693
00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:25,240
Speaker 8: that out there for those that are wondering, is he

694
00:30:25,320 --> 00:30:27,440
Speaker 8: only short yards? Yeah, he's still got a little bit

695
00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:28,760
Speaker 8: of pep in his step.

696
00:30:28,880 --> 00:30:31,760
Speaker 4: I wish they would steal the San Francisco forty nine

697
00:30:31,840 --> 00:30:34,680
Speaker 4: ers passing game to backs. You know what I'm saying,

698
00:30:34,920 --> 00:30:38,320
Speaker 4: It just seems like, and I get it, McCaffrey and

699
00:30:38,320 --> 00:30:40,080
Speaker 4: those guys are rare. I get it. They know how

700
00:30:40,120 --> 00:30:41,840
Speaker 4: to play in space or liman, know how to get

701
00:30:41,840 --> 00:30:44,520
Speaker 4: out in space and stuff like that. But man, just

702
00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:47,360
Speaker 4: if you could just throw him the ball. I mean,

703
00:30:47,400 --> 00:30:50,000
Speaker 4: this guy can catch the ball well and then get up.

704
00:30:50,080 --> 00:30:51,440
Speaker 4: You know, when you throw it on him, he could

705
00:30:51,480 --> 00:30:53,120
Speaker 4: run it. He could be tough to bring down in

706
00:30:53,120 --> 00:30:55,880
Speaker 4: the open field one on one ringbacks don't want to

707
00:30:55,920 --> 00:30:58,520
Speaker 4: deal with him because he's willing to put his shoulder

708
00:30:58,560 --> 00:31:01,240
Speaker 4: through somebody if he has to. So, you know, if

709
00:31:01,240 --> 00:31:04,320
Speaker 4: they could just steal some throw some plays of throwing

710
00:31:04,320 --> 00:31:06,959
Speaker 4: the ball to backs, and I would appreciate that a

711
00:31:06,960 --> 00:31:09,280
Speaker 4: lot watching them play. I think it would be something

712
00:31:09,320 --> 00:31:10,800
Speaker 4: that would be beneficial to them.

713
00:31:10,920 --> 00:31:11,440
Speaker 6: Absolutely.

714
00:31:11,840 --> 00:31:12,040
Speaker 7: Yeah.

715
00:31:12,040 --> 00:31:15,080
Speaker 9: I think something that we saw last year with Tony

716
00:31:15,160 --> 00:31:22,000
Speaker 9: Polor was his lack of ability to find the holes.

717
00:31:22,240 --> 00:31:24,440
Speaker 9: And I know that goes into what the old line

718
00:31:24,520 --> 00:31:26,640
Speaker 9: is doing and how much they're helping you. That's the

719
00:31:26,720 --> 00:31:29,160
Speaker 9: biggest thing in that. But at the same time, I

720
00:31:29,480 --> 00:31:33,720
Speaker 9: remember a lot of different plays where he just really

721
00:31:33,800 --> 00:31:35,560
Speaker 9: figure out where to go exactly.

722
00:31:36,160 --> 00:31:39,960
Speaker 4: The indecisiveness is yeah, and you're right, because what happens

723
00:31:40,040 --> 00:31:42,880
Speaker 4: is if they don't block it clean. You know, the

724
00:31:42,920 --> 00:31:45,239
Speaker 4: one thing about Zeke back in the day was if

725
00:31:45,280 --> 00:31:46,800
Speaker 4: you put a full back in front of him and

726
00:31:47,360 --> 00:31:50,520
Speaker 4: you make Zeke have to decide because the back, the

727
00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:54,160
Speaker 4: full back is not sure who he's blocking, that slows

728
00:31:54,240 --> 00:31:57,760
Speaker 4: up the back and Tony did. I mean, there wasn't

729
00:31:57,800 --> 00:32:00,440
Speaker 4: great blocking, but the indecisiveness. I think it's a big

730
00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:02,160
Speaker 4: part of his struggles last year.

731
00:32:02,160 --> 00:32:05,000
Speaker 9: And I think we've seen plays when Zeke was still

732
00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:09,479
Speaker 9: here that last year. I remember seeing certain plays where

733
00:32:09,800 --> 00:32:13,200
Speaker 9: it would happen to him as well, but more often

734
00:32:13,280 --> 00:32:16,480
Speaker 9: than not he would find those little gaps and holes

735
00:32:16,480 --> 00:32:20,800
Speaker 9: and push for those short yardish type of situations. So

736
00:32:21,320 --> 00:32:25,160
Speaker 9: I'm super excited. I'm super happy. I absolutely love Zeke.

737
00:32:25,280 --> 00:32:27,760
Speaker 9: I love everything about him, and I can't wait to

738
00:32:27,800 --> 00:32:30,800
Speaker 9: see him here. I don't think he's over. Even with

739
00:32:31,640 --> 00:32:35,680
Speaker 9: the Patriots, he had a pretty decent time over there.

740
00:32:35,760 --> 00:32:39,720
Speaker 9: He played like what like five games or so, still

741
00:32:39,720 --> 00:32:42,840
Speaker 9: got close to a thousand yards, and that's also part

742
00:32:42,840 --> 00:32:46,480
Speaker 9: of that was in receiving, So I think six hundred

743
00:32:46,480 --> 00:32:48,880
Speaker 9: and something rushing and then the rest was receiving. Yards.

744
00:32:48,920 --> 00:32:51,840
Speaker 9: So he still has stuff to bring to the table,

745
00:32:52,160 --> 00:32:54,200
Speaker 9: and I can't wait to see him. Clearly, he was

746
00:32:54,280 --> 00:32:56,240
Speaker 9: missed last year and we saw that.

747
00:32:56,280 --> 00:32:59,240
Speaker 4: I will say this though, too, I will say they've

748
00:32:59,280 --> 00:33:03,840
Speaker 4: got all these fives. If we get to Oxnard and

749
00:33:04,120 --> 00:33:08,240
Speaker 4: it doesn't look clean for all these guys, I'm getting

750
00:33:08,280 --> 00:33:10,720
Speaker 4: on the phone and I'm gonna I'm gonna move. I'm

751
00:33:10,720 --> 00:33:12,760
Speaker 4: gonna make a I'm gonna make a deal like I

752
00:33:12,880 --> 00:33:14,840
Speaker 4: made for I give up a one for like what

753
00:33:14,920 --> 00:33:17,520
Speaker 4: you did for a Mark Cooper. But I'm yeah, I'm

754
00:33:17,560 --> 00:33:20,760
Speaker 4: giving up one of these compensatory fives. Maybe you have

755
00:33:20,800 --> 00:33:23,680
Speaker 4: to overpay a little bit to go get somebody that

756
00:33:23,680 --> 00:33:26,120
Speaker 4: that could fit what you're trying to do. You can't

757
00:33:26,160 --> 00:33:28,920
Speaker 4: go into the season struggle and running the football. You

758
00:33:29,040 --> 00:33:29,600
Speaker 4: just can't.

759
00:33:29,760 --> 00:33:30,760
Speaker 2: I did did here.

760
00:33:31,040 --> 00:33:33,480
Speaker 5: I'm sure you guys heard it too, Jerry said during

761
00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:36,560
Speaker 5: one of the press conferences after the draft. He said,

762
00:33:36,560 --> 00:33:39,080
Speaker 5: I've seen teams win Super Bowls with running backs that

763
00:33:39,080 --> 00:33:39,680
Speaker 5: they picked up.

764
00:33:39,680 --> 00:33:40,360
Speaker 6: During the season.

765
00:33:40,920 --> 00:33:42,880
Speaker 5: During that season, and so I think in the back

766
00:33:42,920 --> 00:33:44,680
Speaker 5: of their minds they're looking at it like, Okay, we're

767
00:33:44,680 --> 00:33:46,400
Speaker 5: gonna throw some different options at this. We're going to

768
00:33:46,440 --> 00:33:48,480
Speaker 5: see how we go. And again, to me, I think

769
00:33:48,520 --> 00:33:51,480
Speaker 5: it's really that bigger perspective I mentioned earlier. I think

770
00:33:51,560 --> 00:33:55,520
Speaker 5: they are I think they are taking the the yeah,

771
00:33:55,560 --> 00:33:57,720
Speaker 5: but I think they're taking the opinion that if you've

772
00:33:57,720 --> 00:34:00,200
Speaker 5: got all these positions, you have to address the one

773
00:34:00,240 --> 00:34:03,040
Speaker 5: you can patch up the easiest is running back. So

774
00:34:03,320 --> 00:34:05,480
Speaker 5: let's make sure we get the linebacker. Let's make sure

775
00:34:05,520 --> 00:34:07,880
Speaker 5: we get the defensive tackle of the defensive end. Let's

776
00:34:07,880 --> 00:34:10,359
Speaker 5: make sure we get a defensive tackle. They're looking at

777
00:34:10,360 --> 00:34:11,960
Speaker 5: all these others in the draft, and I think when

778
00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:14,000
Speaker 5: it came running back, they felt like, hey, this is

779
00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:17,000
Speaker 5: an area where you look at the NFL teams have

780
00:34:17,200 --> 00:34:20,600
Speaker 5: success with backup caliber running backs, with running backs that

781
00:34:20,640 --> 00:34:23,360
Speaker 5: aren't the complete package, that running backs that aren't highest

782
00:34:23,360 --> 00:34:25,600
Speaker 5: paid running backs in the league, they can still find

783
00:34:25,640 --> 00:34:27,640
Speaker 5: success in there. And I think that's the position that

784
00:34:27,680 --> 00:34:28,200
Speaker 5: they've taken.

785
00:34:28,360 --> 00:34:29,120
Speaker 2: We'll see if it works.

786
00:34:29,200 --> 00:34:33,040
Speaker 4: They valued in this draft stopping the run more than

787
00:34:33,040 --> 00:34:35,279
Speaker 4: they did running the ball. In this way, I whan

788
00:34:35,320 --> 00:34:37,120
Speaker 4: it's came to I mean, you look at with Cooper

789
00:34:37,160 --> 00:34:39,120
Speaker 4: BB and stuff like that, that that helps you with

790
00:34:39,120 --> 00:34:42,000
Speaker 4: the running part. But then it came down to, Okay,

791
00:34:42,040 --> 00:34:44,080
Speaker 4: we've got to stop the run too, and so then

792
00:34:44,200 --> 00:34:46,200
Speaker 4: you get the linebacker, you get the you know, in

793
00:34:46,239 --> 00:34:46,879
Speaker 4: the second round.

794
00:34:46,960 --> 00:34:48,680
Speaker 2: So and it's hard to find in their mind, it's

795
00:34:48,680 --> 00:34:51,400
Speaker 2: harder to find a linebacker a running back exactly right,

796
00:34:51,440 --> 00:34:52,480
Speaker 2: exactly yeah, And.

797
00:34:52,440 --> 00:34:53,920
Speaker 5: So I think that's the part where it's going to

798
00:34:53,960 --> 00:34:55,799
Speaker 5: be very interesting to see how this plays out for

799
00:34:55,840 --> 00:34:57,879
Speaker 5: the Cowboys because this is a little different approach than

800
00:34:57,880 --> 00:34:59,799
Speaker 5: what they've taken to this point. A team that's been

801
00:35:00,200 --> 00:35:03,600
Speaker 5: throughout his history always had very, very high profile and

802
00:35:03,640 --> 00:35:06,879
Speaker 5: successful running backs. We'll see how this approach works. We're

803
00:35:06,880 --> 00:35:08,440
Speaker 5: going to take our final break. We'll come back. I

804
00:35:08,440 --> 00:35:10,120
Speaker 5: want to talk a little bit about the rookie Minnie

805
00:35:10,120 --> 00:35:11,759
Speaker 5: camp that's coming up, some of the guys that you

806
00:35:11,800 --> 00:35:13,320
Speaker 5: guys expect to see out here, and we'll have a

807
00:35:13,360 --> 00:35:15,360
Speaker 5: couple questions for you guys on this rookie class.

808
00:35:15,360 --> 00:35:16,960
Speaker 2: We'll be back, Dallas Cowboys dot Com Radio.

809
00:35:18,600 --> 00:35:20,319
Speaker 10: Todd thought it would be secure to jog in the

810
00:35:20,360 --> 00:35:23,279
Speaker 10: cheetah Savannah. Todd believed the big cat repellent he bought

811
00:35:23,320 --> 00:35:26,239
Speaker 10: online was reliable, and now Todd is trying to be

812
00:35:26,280 --> 00:35:28,960
Speaker 10: faster than this cheetah that can run eighty miles per hour.

813
00:35:29,560 --> 00:35:31,319
Speaker 10: But the good news is Todd has at and T

814
00:35:31,400 --> 00:35:34,040
Speaker 10: five G. It is fast, reliable, and secure, and he

815
00:35:34,160 --> 00:35:36,319
Speaker 10: learned the best thing to do is stop running and

816
00:35:36,520 --> 00:35:39,040
Speaker 10: toss her the backpack with the beef stew at and

817

Speaker 5: SWVC Morgan Studios at the Stars, We're brought to you

859
00:37:52,760 --> 00:37:56,600
Speaker 5: by LG. Let's talk about the Rookie Minni camp. Obviously,

860
00:37:56,600 --> 00:37:59,360
Speaker 5: the guys will start arriving I think as early as.

861
00:37:59,160 --> 00:38:02,160
Speaker 2: Today maybe someone.

862
00:38:03,560 --> 00:38:05,840
Speaker 5: But the actually the time that they will spend to

863
00:38:05,880 --> 00:38:08,040
Speaker 5: you guys will get with them. I want some private

864
00:38:08,040 --> 00:38:10,200
Speaker 5: time on Thursday, but Friday and Saturday the rest of

865
00:38:10,239 --> 00:38:12,759
Speaker 5: the meeting will have an opportunity to be able to

866
00:38:12,760 --> 00:38:15,480
Speaker 5: meet with them. As we start getting into these practices,

867
00:38:15,560 --> 00:38:17,440
Speaker 5: obviously there's not a lot going on.

868
00:38:17,480 --> 00:38:19,799
Speaker 4: I miss the Jason Garrett practices where he made Des

869
00:38:19,840 --> 00:38:20,680
Speaker 4: Bryant throw it right.

870
00:38:20,760 --> 00:38:22,799
Speaker 2: Yeah, it used to be a challenge of Will's right.

871
00:38:22,880 --> 00:38:23,200
Speaker 4: Yeah.

872
00:38:23,239 --> 00:38:24,960
Speaker 5: What what do you guys look for when you out

873
00:38:24,960 --> 00:38:27,120
Speaker 5: here watching this? Is there anything that you look at like?

874
00:38:27,239 --> 00:38:28,960
Speaker 5: I just want to see this when I when I

875
00:38:28,960 --> 00:38:31,480
Speaker 5: get a chance to actually see them in person, I think.

876
00:38:31,360 --> 00:38:33,560
Speaker 4: The thing that I always look for is where are

877
00:38:33,560 --> 00:38:37,000
Speaker 4: they thinking about lining these guys up, Okay, figure out, Okay,

878
00:38:37,040 --> 00:38:41,080
Speaker 4: where did they see Marshaan Neeland? Where do they see uh,

879
00:38:41,239 --> 00:38:43,520
Speaker 4: you know Maris. Where do they see the you know

880
00:38:43,600 --> 00:38:46,120
Speaker 4: the Bbie in center guard where you.

881
00:38:46,400 --> 00:38:48,720
Speaker 2: Just what the initial thoughts, the initial thought, Yeah.

882
00:38:48,640 --> 00:38:50,520
Speaker 4: Are they running with it? You know, probably most of

883
00:38:50,560 --> 00:38:52,279
Speaker 4: them are going to be running with second or third

884
00:38:52,320 --> 00:38:56,240
Speaker 4: team guys initially. I mean it's by themselves, right, so

885
00:38:56,239 --> 00:38:58,640
Speaker 4: so it'll be the rookies by themselves. But you'll probably

886
00:38:58,680 --> 00:39:01,480
Speaker 4: be in a situation where you're see like where they

887
00:39:01,480 --> 00:39:04,200
Speaker 4: have an idea of that. And I when they do

888
00:39:04,280 --> 00:39:06,720
Speaker 4: kind of move guys around, like you know with Kaitlin

889
00:39:06,800 --> 00:39:11,760
Speaker 4: Carson the corner, I'm interested in seeing like his movement skills,

890
00:39:11,800 --> 00:39:14,239
Speaker 4: like if they do him running through drills, the feet

891
00:39:14,280 --> 00:39:17,040
Speaker 4: look quick, his ability to turn. You know, these guys

892
00:39:17,040 --> 00:39:20,520
Speaker 4: probably are not in great shape when after these camps over,

893
00:39:20,640 --> 00:39:23,440
Speaker 4: after all that, everybody gets to go home and these

894
00:39:23,440 --> 00:39:25,520
Speaker 4: guys have to stay. Yeah, and then that's where you

895
00:39:25,600 --> 00:39:28,440
Speaker 4: kind of that's where these guys get back into football shape.

896
00:39:28,680 --> 00:39:33,440
Speaker 4: Emandy Johnson's a free agent that they got undrafted free agents,

897
00:39:33,480 --> 00:39:36,879
Speaker 4: a safety that I'm really excited about because I saw

898
00:39:36,960 --> 00:39:39,680
Speaker 4: him play at Nevada and he's a guy that probably

899
00:39:39,680 --> 00:39:41,839
Speaker 4: should have been drafted. So I'm kind of interested in

900
00:39:41,880 --> 00:39:46,200
Speaker 4: some of these undrafted guys and then and then where

901
00:39:46,480 --> 00:39:49,200
Speaker 4: they're going to line up the guys that were drafted.

902
00:39:49,360 --> 00:39:50,960
Speaker 4: That's that's what's always fascinating to me.

903
00:39:51,040 --> 00:39:53,360
Speaker 8: And in great points as far as because it is

904
00:39:53,400 --> 00:39:56,719
Speaker 8: walkthroughs basically, so the most we can take away from

905
00:39:56,760 --> 00:39:59,960
Speaker 8: the media portion is where they line this player up

906
00:40:00,080 --> 00:40:03,880
Speaker 8: versus that player and how they're you know, rotating him. So,

907
00:40:04,360 --> 00:40:06,319
Speaker 8: like you said, when you talk about Cooper Bebe, is

908
00:40:06,360 --> 00:40:08,920
Speaker 8: he already starting out as a center or are they

909
00:40:08,960 --> 00:40:10,959
Speaker 8: trying him at guard first and then kind of moving

910
00:40:11,000 --> 00:40:13,879
Speaker 8: from there. But I'm also right there with Brian as well.

911
00:40:13,960 --> 00:40:17,240
Speaker 8: So first I'll say this, I'm also looking at the players,

912
00:40:17,400 --> 00:40:19,759
Speaker 8: the rookies' physical stature, like what kind of shape are

913
00:40:19,760 --> 00:40:21,920
Speaker 8: they showing up for, right, because that's going to be

914
00:40:22,000 --> 00:40:24,799
Speaker 8: key because obviously not necessarily a red flag on any

915
00:40:24,800 --> 00:40:26,600
Speaker 8: of these rookies the Cowboys have, but there were some

916
00:40:26,640 --> 00:40:29,320
Speaker 8: prospects going into the draft where you know, red flag

917
00:40:29,480 --> 00:40:31,919
Speaker 8: was that, oh, well, they put on too much weight

918
00:40:31,960 --> 00:40:34,239
Speaker 8: or they're gaining weight at the wrong time. Just want

919
00:40:34,280 --> 00:40:35,799
Speaker 8: to see these guys come in in shape. Want to

920
00:40:35,800 --> 00:40:37,520
Speaker 8: see them come in ready to learn, ready to go.

921
00:40:38,120 --> 00:40:38,960
Speaker 6: And I'm really, like.

922
00:40:38,920 --> 00:40:41,359
Speaker 8: I was saying about Brian's point, I'm really looking at

923
00:40:41,360 --> 00:40:44,040
Speaker 8: these undrafted free agents because I'm wondering because the Cowboys

924
00:40:44,200 --> 00:40:48,520
Speaker 8: typically do well in undrafted free agency. So I'm trying

925
00:40:48,560 --> 00:40:51,720
Speaker 8: to figure out effect of this weekend, who will stand

926
00:40:51,760 --> 00:40:54,160
Speaker 8: out the most in the pool of twelve to thirteen

927
00:40:54,239 --> 00:40:55,120
Speaker 8: undrafted free agents?

928
00:40:55,160 --> 00:40:56,240
Speaker 6: Who can make some waves.

929
00:40:56,840 --> 00:40:59,520
Speaker 8: Can Nathaniel Pete, the loaned running back that was signed

930
00:40:59,520 --> 00:41:01,719
Speaker 8: an undraft free agency? Can he make a little bit

931
00:41:01,719 --> 00:41:04,200
Speaker 8: of waves make things hard for someone like Snoop Connor,

932
00:41:04,280 --> 00:41:08,240
Speaker 8: Royce Freeman, maybe Milie Davis, we don't know yet, maybe

933
00:41:08,280 --> 00:41:11,680
Speaker 8: Ducevon we'll see. But then Jason Johnson, He's a good one.

934
00:41:12,000 --> 00:41:14,400
Speaker 8: Denzel Dockson is one that I'm looking at out of Illinois.

935
00:41:14,760 --> 00:41:18,120
Speaker 8: We are keyed in on this defensive tackle situation. I

936
00:41:18,120 --> 00:41:20,840
Speaker 8: think the Cowboys are still open to bringing in the

937
00:41:20,920 --> 00:41:23,560
Speaker 8: veteran in free agency. I've said that, but when you

938
00:41:23,600 --> 00:41:26,040
Speaker 8: look at what they got in Justin Rodgers seventh round pick.

939
00:41:26,239 --> 00:41:29,720
Speaker 8: Still need some polish, but Justin Rogers versus Denzel Dockson,

940
00:41:29,760 --> 00:41:32,839
Speaker 8: you got two big defensive tackles that are gonna put

941
00:41:32,840 --> 00:41:35,160
Speaker 8: themselves on the field this weekend. So just interested to

942
00:41:35,200 --> 00:41:38,359
Speaker 8: see things like that, and for me, really above all,

943
00:41:38,360 --> 00:41:41,520
Speaker 8: I want to see if any of these undrafted rookies

944
00:41:41,560 --> 00:41:43,320
Speaker 8: can really start to stand out quickly.

945
00:41:44,480 --> 00:41:48,680
Speaker 9: Yeah, I'll be honest, personally, I don't get as much

946
00:41:48,880 --> 00:41:52,560
Speaker 9: as like what happens on the field, like you know,

947
00:41:52,800 --> 00:41:56,399
Speaker 9: to me, I prefer I love mini camp actual mini

948
00:41:56,400 --> 00:41:59,200
Speaker 9: camp born. You get to see the veterans blended with

949
00:41:59,239 --> 00:42:02,120
Speaker 9: the rookies, can see the rookies body type, how they

950
00:42:02,200 --> 00:42:06,480
Speaker 9: kind of fit in and look merged with the veterans.

951
00:42:06,480 --> 00:42:09,480
Speaker 9: So that's my favorite part. But from this session rookie

952
00:42:09,520 --> 00:42:13,319
Speaker 9: mini caamp, what I like the most honestly is when

953
00:42:13,320 --> 00:42:15,399
Speaker 9: we get the chance to talk to them and meet

954
00:42:15,400 --> 00:42:18,080
Speaker 9: them and hear them. And that's what do I like,

955
00:42:18,120 --> 00:42:20,759
Speaker 9: You do I not, you know, That's what it's for

956
00:42:20,800 --> 00:42:24,759
Speaker 9: me to get the vibe more often they're not than

957
00:42:24,800 --> 00:42:26,360
Speaker 9: not they're.

958
00:42:26,040 --> 00:42:32,800
Speaker 2: They're always exactly you know.

959
00:42:34,800 --> 00:42:38,160
Speaker 9: But that's that's my favorite part of this weekend is

960
00:42:38,320 --> 00:42:42,600
Speaker 9: just getting their vibes. And usually they're always very very happy,

961
00:42:42,640 --> 00:42:44,920
Speaker 9: you know, they just got drafted by the Cowboys or

962
00:42:45,040 --> 00:42:47,960
Speaker 9: signed by the Cowboys and they're here and they're usually

963
00:42:48,040 --> 00:42:52,239
Speaker 9: with a great attitude. But it's that's my favorite part.

964
00:42:52,440 --> 00:42:56,440
Speaker 9: And now I've changed my tune on a lot of things,

965
00:42:56,480 --> 00:42:59,360
Speaker 9: and I probably come off as a very judgy person

966
00:42:59,400 --> 00:43:02,120
Speaker 9: on this show and I'm not. This is just no,

967
00:43:02,480 --> 00:43:06,000
Speaker 9: this is just about football and stuff. But stop, I

968
00:43:06,040 --> 00:43:10,440
Speaker 9: am not. Oh my gosh. Anyways, but again, I tell

969
00:43:10,520 --> 00:43:14,040
Speaker 9: this story and I love it because when I first

970
00:43:14,120 --> 00:43:16,880
Speaker 9: met throw On Bland and I've said this on the

971
00:43:16,920 --> 00:43:20,200
Speaker 9: show before, it was Rucky minicamp and we got to

972
00:43:20,239 --> 00:43:22,000
Speaker 9: talk to him and I got to talk to him

973
00:43:22,040 --> 00:43:24,959
Speaker 9: one and one and he was so shy and such

974
00:43:25,000 --> 00:43:27,719
Speaker 9: a baby face. I'm just like, I hate saying this,

975
00:43:27,760 --> 00:43:30,160
Speaker 9: but in my head, I'm like, Okay, what is this

976
00:43:30,200 --> 00:43:30,960
Speaker 9: guy gonna do?

977
00:43:31,160 --> 00:43:32,840
Speaker 6: Like on the field?

978
00:43:33,080 --> 00:43:40,600
Speaker 9: Boy did he proved my judgmental here has been absolutely amazing.

979
00:43:40,640 --> 00:43:42,680
Speaker 9: But it's one of those things that it's it's just

980
00:43:42,760 --> 00:43:44,880
Speaker 9: fun to get to know the player and.

981
00:43:44,719 --> 00:43:46,600
Speaker 8: You know who's probably gonna throw off a little bit

982
00:43:46,640 --> 00:43:48,480
Speaker 8: in that capacity. And I know we talk a lot

983
00:43:48,480 --> 00:43:51,400
Speaker 8: about Cooper Bebe, but it's justifiable. But his demeanor, like

984
00:43:51,440 --> 00:43:53,840
Speaker 8: off the field, he's kind of like Jovia he's smoking

985
00:43:53,920 --> 00:43:57,359
Speaker 8: with jovial, the innocent smile, but they're looking his eyes.

986
00:43:57,400 --> 00:43:59,480
Speaker 8: There's a killer in those eyes, man, And when the

987
00:43:59,480 --> 00:44:01,759
Speaker 8: ball gets after he is just something different. But yeah,

988
00:44:01,760 --> 00:44:04,000
Speaker 8: that's a good point. I mean, and I do love

989
00:44:04,360 --> 00:44:06,920
Speaker 8: when mini camp does roll around. That's when it's really

990
00:44:07,000 --> 00:44:08,799
Speaker 8: going to start to hit home for these rookies. Like

991
00:44:08,880 --> 00:44:10,799
Speaker 8: right now, they're going to come in this weekend and

992
00:44:10,880 --> 00:44:14,000
Speaker 8: it's you know, they're riding high and they're ampt and they're.

993
00:44:13,840 --> 00:44:14,319
Speaker 6: Ready to go.

994
00:44:14,440 --> 00:44:16,760
Speaker 8: When the veterans start coming in and they start commingling

995
00:44:16,800 --> 00:44:19,560
Speaker 8: with veterans and the standard starts to get set, that's

996
00:44:19,600 --> 00:44:21,800
Speaker 8: really when you start to be able to tell who's

997
00:44:21,840 --> 00:44:23,840
Speaker 8: going to start to kind of pull away from the

998
00:44:23,840 --> 00:44:24,759
Speaker 8: rest of the rookie back.

999
00:44:24,840 --> 00:44:25,040
Speaker 4: Yeah.

1000
00:44:25,080 --> 00:44:27,040
Speaker 5: Part of that is you start realizing there are no

1001
00:44:27,120 --> 00:44:29,360
Speaker 5: free reps in the NFL. Right in college there are

1002
00:44:29,400 --> 00:44:30,720
Speaker 5: a lot of guys that are going to be selling

1003
00:44:30,719 --> 00:44:34,319
Speaker 5: insurance once they're done playing college football. Everybody out here

1004
00:44:34,680 --> 00:44:36,840
Speaker 5: is a baller, and I know people give them a

1005
00:44:36,880 --> 00:44:39,520
Speaker 5: hard time with your third string whatever, but they're a

1006
00:44:39,520 --> 00:44:42,200
Speaker 5: professional and there's a reason why they're professional. So there

1007
00:44:42,200 --> 00:44:45,160
Speaker 5: are no easy wins out here on the NFL football.

1008
00:44:44,840 --> 00:44:48,120
Speaker 6: Field, and you were brought in to take their job exactly.

1009
00:44:48,800 --> 00:44:49,760
Speaker 2: So it is a challenge.

1010
00:44:49,880 --> 00:44:52,040
Speaker 5: Definitely is a challenge mentally and physically. All Right, we

1011
00:44:52,040 --> 00:44:53,719
Speaker 5: appreciate you guys, you doing it. We'll be back next week.

1012
00:44:53,840 --> 00:44:55,759
Speaker 5: We'll tell you what happened at the mini camp, if

1013
00:44:55,800 --> 00:44:57,520
Speaker 5: there is anything that came out of the mini camp,

1014
00:44:57,880 --> 00:44:59,480
Speaker 5: and then we'll also get into some other topics.

1015
00:45:00,360 --> 00:45:02,839
Speaker 2: We'll actually start a little bit of a review here

1016
00:45:02,880 --> 00:45:03,479
Speaker 2: the next week.

1017
00:45:03,920 --> 00:45:06,160
Speaker 5: We only have I think four more episodes before we

1018
00:45:06,160 --> 00:45:08,080
Speaker 5: take our little hiatus for the summer.

1019
00:45:09,280 --> 00:45:11,120
Speaker 2: Amber's excited, and so.

1020
00:45:11,360 --> 00:45:13,400
Speaker 5: We'll get into a little bit of a bigger picture

1021
00:45:13,400 --> 00:45:15,120
Speaker 5: to look at a lot of different positions around this

1022
00:45:15,160 --> 00:45:16,799
Speaker 5: team and kind of can set you guys up what

1023
00:45:17,120 --> 00:45:19,320
Speaker 5: training camp will look like. Till then, for Patrick Walker,

1024
00:45:19,320 --> 00:45:21,880
Speaker 5: Brian brought us an Ama Garcia. I'm Derek Eagleton. This

1025
