Speaker 1: in their homes as well. And I'm sorry Nick, you're

13
00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:04,240
Speaker 1: at the office. Actually on a day when the players

14
00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:06,200
Speaker 1: are not at the office. Nick still is at the office.

15
00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:07,880
Speaker 1: That tells you a lot about his work ethic. We

00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:10,560
Speaker 1: appreciate you, Nick. We're gonna talk some Cowboys football for

17
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:12,160
Speaker 1: you guys to day, and we appreciate you guys taking

18
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:14,600
Speaker 1: some time out of your day to join us for that.

19
00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:17,320
Speaker 1: And we're gonna start with I think what has been

20
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:20,080
Speaker 1: probably the biggest news coming out of Cowboys camp since

21
00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:24,080
Speaker 1: camp begin. Joe McCoy had a very very busy last

22
00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:28,320
Speaker 1: few days. On Monday he tore us quad or the

23
00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:32,640
Speaker 1: ligament tous quad in practice on Monday. Then on Tuesday

24
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:37,840
Speaker 1: he had surgery, and then Tuesday afternoons he's waved injured. Nick,

25
00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:40,800
Speaker 1: I'll start with you. You broke the story for us.

26
00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:43,840
Speaker 1: Tell me why he was waved, because I know a

27
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:46,039
Speaker 1: lot of fans were sitting there looking at that and thinking, wow,

28
00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:50,200
Speaker 1: this is this pretty that seems pretty pretty mean. I

29
00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:51,760
Speaker 1: guess it for lack of a better way to put it,

30
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:54,160
Speaker 1: But why was he waved? Well, I think he had

31
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:57,040
Speaker 1: to go back all the way to win. He was signed.

32
00:01:57,360 --> 00:01:59,760
Speaker 1: When he was signed, they put a waiver into his

33
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:03,040
Speaker 1: under the contract to say that if something happens with

34
00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:06,040
Speaker 1: the right quad, we can get out of this contract.

35
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:09,800
Speaker 1: And first paded practice something really severe happens with the

36
00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:14,280
Speaker 1: right quad. So something is weird there. I don't ever

37
00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:18,800
Speaker 1: remember seeing an injury waiver on a specific body part

38
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:20,639
Speaker 1: like that. I guess, you know, coming back from the

39
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:23,360
Speaker 1: injuries or whatever. But we didn't think that this was

40
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:25,760
Speaker 1: going to be something that you would they would be

41
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:28,200
Speaker 1: watching and then the you know, ten minutes after the

42
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:31,799
Speaker 1: first pads come on, that happens, So they exercised their

43
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:33,360
Speaker 1: right to do that. They put it in there for

44
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:35,560
Speaker 1: a reason. It saves them about three and a half

45
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:38,880
Speaker 1: million to four million over the next couple of years.

46
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:41,040
Speaker 1: So if you if you know you have a chance

47
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 1: to save some money, and then it happens that way,

48
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:44,919
Speaker 1: you're going to save it. So that that's I think

49
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 1: what happens. Yeah, it's interesting if that would be in

50
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:52,000
Speaker 1: the contract with specific language even about it. That makes

51
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:54,000
Speaker 1: you makes you think, or at least makes me think

52
00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:57,359
Speaker 1: that there was some concern from the standpoint of the Cowboys,

53
00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:00,440
Speaker 1: and I guess an acknowledgement on the part of the

54
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:04,320
Speaker 1: representatives of Gerald mccoyd that this was something that maybe

55
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:06,160
Speaker 1: could happen. I don't know if it was a previous

56
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:08,480
Speaker 1: injury or just something that they noticed in a physical

57
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:11,480
Speaker 1: but but obviously something there for them to put that

58
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:14,240
Speaker 1: in the contract. Dave and Amber talk a little bit

59
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:16,880
Speaker 1: about about kind of how the Cowboys move from here.

60
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:19,600
Speaker 1: Let's start with you. Dave, talk to me about the replacement.

61
00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:22,280
Speaker 1: What could the Cowboys do at this point to replace

62
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:24,680
Speaker 1: production that they thought they were going to be getting

63
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:27,360
Speaker 1: a guy who is a proven veteran in that position,

64
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:30,440
Speaker 1: a three technique and even defensive end. When they moved

65
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:32,560
Speaker 1: two or three four, talk to me about how they

66
00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:36,200
Speaker 1: can to maybe replace him. You know, it's kind of

67
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:38,760
Speaker 1: funny to me that, Like, I mean, it's a fair question.

68
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:41,040
Speaker 1: I'm not knocking you, but like that's the talking point.

69
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:43,880
Speaker 1: It's like, oh my god, whatever will they do? As

70
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:47,040
Speaker 1: if they didn't spend the last two drafts addressing the position,

71
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:49,560
Speaker 1: and that just goes to show how much people don't

72
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:52,680
Speaker 1: trust what they've done. Tristan Hill's the top sixty draft pick,

73
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:56,440
Speaker 1: Neville Gallimore's the top one hundred draft pick. Ninety nine

74
00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:58,400
Speaker 1: percent of time. You look at that and say, all right,

75
00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:02,680
Speaker 1: they're covered pretty well. But nobody has forgotten how disappointing

76
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:05,960
Speaker 1: Tristan's rookie season was, nor should they. So I don't

77
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:08,080
Speaker 1: blame people if they don't feel great about it. But

78
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:12,000
Speaker 1: you have two highly talented young players that can step

79
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:14,840
Speaker 1: into that. And when you had Gerald, it was a luxury.

80
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:17,159
Speaker 1: You know, you're like, well, whatever they can give us

81
00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:19,880
Speaker 1: is great, and that luxury is now gone. One of

82
00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:22,720
Speaker 1: those guys has to step up. So I look at

83
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:24,640
Speaker 1: you know, the next two or so a week, says,

84
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:27,440
Speaker 1: a big time audition for both of those guys, and

85
00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:29,560
Speaker 1: if they're not up to it, maybe you try to

86
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:31,240
Speaker 1: go hunt around for a veteran. But I think for

87
00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:33,080
Speaker 1: the time being, you just throw those guys in the

88
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:36,080
Speaker 1: fire and see what they can do. You know, I

89
00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:38,359
Speaker 1: would agree with you, Dave on the point of of

90
00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:40,640
Speaker 1: you would normally think a second and third round pick

91
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:43,479
Speaker 1: would be natural fits there, that you would just lean

92
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:46,119
Speaker 1: on them. But it wasn't like they signed Gerald McCoy

93
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:51,680
Speaker 1: to a one year deal. I'm sorry, I say no,

94
00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:56,080
Speaker 1: I can get that you're right, but that also goes

95
00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:57,960
Speaker 1: on a point like they didn't go out and signed

96
00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:00,160
Speaker 1: Gerald McCoy to a to a one year deal. They

97
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:02,280
Speaker 1: signed him to a three year deal, which suggests to

98
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:05,000
Speaker 1: me that they wanted him here for the next several years,

99
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:07,560
Speaker 1: and they wanted those guys in a rotation. They thought

100
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:10,640
Speaker 1: there was a role for Gerald Gerald McCoy in addition

101
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:13,760
Speaker 1: to what those other guys could possibly bring. And so

102
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:16,120
Speaker 1: that's where I wonder, you know, do they or should

103
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:19,120
Speaker 1: they consider maybe going out and looking for a veteran

104
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:21,080
Speaker 1: replacement or just stick with what they have because there

105
00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:23,400
Speaker 1: isn't really much out there right now. I mean, first

106
00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:26,080
Speaker 1: of all, yeah, and in terms of a pass rushing

107
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:28,560
Speaker 1: defensive tackle, they're in a lot there for you. I know,

108
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:30,640
Speaker 1: you know a lot of a lot of people are

109
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:33,960
Speaker 1: going to bring up Snacks Harrison and I don't like,

110
00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:39,840
Speaker 1: I don't necessarily think it's a bad idea, but Snacks's whole,

111
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:42,599
Speaker 1: Like Snacks is Don Taripoe. They are the same type

112
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:46,000
Speaker 1: of player. They are the gigantic run stuffing, space eating

113
00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:50,000
Speaker 1: defensive tackle. Rushing the passer isn't really their bag. I

114
00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:53,000
Speaker 1: think Snacks would make this team better, but it's also

115
00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:57,359
Speaker 1: that gives you three, you know, one technique early down

116
00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:00,599
Speaker 1: run stopping, non pass rushing tackles to go with Poe

117
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:03,200
Speaker 1: and Antoine Woods. And if you can only keep nine

118
00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:07,880
Speaker 1: or ten, at what point does that become superfluous? Because

119
00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:10,719
Speaker 1: in terms of guys that can rush the passer, you

120
00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:13,840
Speaker 1: have Gallimore or Tristan Hill. We know Tyrone Crawford can

121
00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:16,440
Speaker 1: do a little bit of it. I think Alden Smith

122
00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:18,799
Speaker 1: and Everson Griffin can both kick inside and a pinch.

123
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:24,360
Speaker 1: So it doesn't seem necessary right now. After one injury,

124
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:28,360
Speaker 1: I mean, injuries happen all the time, So like I said,

125
00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:30,719
Speaker 1: I think your best bet right now, until they prove

126
00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:32,960
Speaker 1: they're not capable of doing it, is to hope that

127
00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:38,599
Speaker 1: the young guys can step up. The problem with that, David,

128
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:41,839
Speaker 1: it's like, how do you get a chance to actually

129
00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:46,240
Speaker 1: really truly prove that without preseason games? And that's my thing,

130
00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:49,680
Speaker 1: like if I think they should be looking around right

131
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:52,320
Speaker 1: now and see who else they can possibly bring in

132
00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:55,240
Speaker 1: here just to add extra help. And you know, you

133
00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:58,120
Speaker 1: tend to forget about the possibility of injuries at least

134
00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:00,520
Speaker 1: I know I do, until it actually happens and you're like,

135
00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:04,520
Speaker 1: oh crap, this happens. Let me look further deep down

136
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:07,400
Speaker 1: into the position. And you know, we know that Dntari

137
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:10,600
Speaker 1: Poe he's coming back, But now that's in the back

138
00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:13,200
Speaker 1: of my head at least you know, oh, he's coming

139
00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:15,920
Speaker 1: off an injury. Is he gonna be able to hold up?

140
00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:18,360
Speaker 1: What are these younger guys gonna be able to do?

141
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:23,040
Speaker 1: Can they show enough during this time without preseason sorry,

142
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:27,520
Speaker 1: without preseason games. So that's the biggest thing right now

143
00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:31,640
Speaker 1: for me. It's just I'm being so extra critical at

144
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:34,120
Speaker 1: this moment just because I know we don't get the

145
00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:37,600
Speaker 1: chance to see preseason games. Okay, so let's do this.

146
00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:39,200
Speaker 1: Let's go across the board. I want to eat you

147
00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:41,440
Speaker 1: guys to tell me how big of a loss do

148
00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:44,080
Speaker 1: you think this is for this Cowboys can team as

149
00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:48,120
Speaker 1: it's currently constructed. Nicho, Let's start with you. I think

150
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:50,640
Speaker 1: it's a big loss actually because I think he was

151
00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:53,520
Speaker 1: supposed to come in and really help be a locker

152
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:56,880
Speaker 1: room guy as well. So you know, like you guys

153
00:07:56,880 --> 00:08:00,040
Speaker 1: are saying the backups, you know, they didn't know what

154
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:02,040
Speaker 1: they really wanted Antoine Woods, I mean, there was a

155
00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:04,720
Speaker 1: lot of took a while to get him to, I mean,

156
00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:07,440
Speaker 1: come back in. I guess he wanted a long term deal.

157
00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:09,640
Speaker 1: But anyways, I think it's a big loss because I

158
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:12,680
Speaker 1: just think that there's so much uncertainty there. There's uncertainty

159
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:17,240
Speaker 1: with Poe Crawford's not really a natural tackle, so until

160
00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:19,160
Speaker 1: they get somebody else in here, I think it is

161
00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:23,720
Speaker 1: a great, pretty big loss. Hamber Well, I just I

162
00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:26,640
Speaker 1: just said it's huge. I think that the Cowboys already need,

163
00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:30,000
Speaker 1: especially this year because of the circumstances, they already need

164
00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:33,200
Speaker 1: of someone who's a veteran guy who has the experience.

165
00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:36,040
Speaker 1: Who do you you don't need to feel some concern

166
00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:38,480
Speaker 1: about whether or not you can plug the guy in

167
00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:41,640
Speaker 1: and have that guy be able to perform at the

168
00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:44,200
Speaker 1: level that you want them too. So I think that

169
00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:48,040
Speaker 1: the veteran need right now is very high, and they

170
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:54,000
Speaker 1: just lost that Dave. It's it is what it is.

171
00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:55,440
Speaker 1: It's I mean, I'm not going to try to say

172
00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:57,760
Speaker 1: it's not a big loss. I agree with Nick. I mean,

173
00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:00,000
Speaker 1: I think what McCoy would have brought to the table

174
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:03,679
Speaker 1: from a locker room culture standpoint, I don't think you

175
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:07,400
Speaker 1: can underestimate that, especially with two young guys like Gallamore

176
00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:10,880
Speaker 1: and Hill. Fortunately, McCoy said on Instagram last night that

177
00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:13,400
Speaker 1: he's not playing on going anywhere. I mean, he can't

178
00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:14,880
Speaker 1: go come in the building because he's not on the

179
00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:18,360
Speaker 1: team anymore and because of COVID. But he's gonna he's

180
00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:22,199
Speaker 1: gonna stay mentoring these guys, stay in touch. So that's nice. Um.

181
00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:25,680
Speaker 1: You know, one defensive tackle is not going to be

182
00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:28,000
Speaker 1: the difference between whether or not this team is successful.

183
00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:31,839
Speaker 1: This team's success is almost entirely predicated on how good

184
00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:34,960
Speaker 1: its offense is. And I absolutely wish Jerald McCoy was

185
00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:38,520
Speaker 1: on the team. But I'm not changing my preseason projections

186
00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:42,600
Speaker 1: for them based on that. But we talked about this

187
00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:46,360
Speaker 1: last week too, that you know, adding ever seen Griffin.

188
00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:48,600
Speaker 1: I mean that with d Law that's not a whole

189
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:51,000
Speaker 1: lot different than what they had last year with Robert Quinn.

190
00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:55,240
Speaker 1: Maybe Griffin is better, but you know, they're about the same.

191
00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:57,440
Speaker 1: What I thought was going to be different was to

192
00:09:57,480 --> 00:10:00,800
Speaker 1: push from the inside, and dant Folk still bring that.

193
00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:03,400
Speaker 1: But you know, you were hoping it would be McCoy

194
00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:06,520
Speaker 1: and and Poe and you know, maybe Crawford gets in there,

195
00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:10,040
Speaker 1: but you know it's it's but then again, it's a

196
00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:13,319
Speaker 1: completely different defense. We're seeing that in practice right now.

197
00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:15,200
Speaker 1: You can tell that it's not going to be the

198
00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:18,240
Speaker 1: same defense. They're asking these guys to do different things

199
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:20,520
Speaker 1: than what they did last year. Well, Nick, I will

200
00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:22,760
Speaker 1: say this, I do think Alden Smith. I do think

201
00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:25,400
Speaker 1: Alden Smith adds a little bit more to that because,

202
00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:26,960
Speaker 1: as Day said a little earlier, I think he can

203
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:29,080
Speaker 1: pop down. I think Griffin can pop down. So when

204
00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:32,600
Speaker 1: you start talking about pass rush situations third down, you're

205
00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:34,520
Speaker 1: probably gonna have all three of those guys, all three

206
00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:37,200
Speaker 1: of those pass rushers on the field, maybe Tyrone, Tyrone,

207
00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:39,640
Speaker 1: Crawford as the fourth and so I still think you'll

208
00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:41,400
Speaker 1: get that kind of push up the middle because you

209
00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:44,160
Speaker 1: got some guys that are really dynamic type players, you

210
00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:47,000
Speaker 1: hope at least that you can have down their defensive tackle.

211
00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:49,040
Speaker 1: I'm not a fan of that though. I'm not and

212
00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:51,760
Speaker 1: I could just still see the touchdown Tyler Luckett scored

213
00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:53,800
Speaker 1: against Seattle. I'm just not a fan of putting d

214
00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:58,440
Speaker 1: Law inside or Alden Smith inside. It's just like asking

215
00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:01,199
Speaker 1: a running back to play receiver. You're not doing what

216
00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:04,360
Speaker 1: they do best. And so by putting him down, just

217
00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:07,200
Speaker 1: because they can rush their passer off the edge doesn't

218
00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:08,760
Speaker 1: mean they can go in there and beat the Zach

219
00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:12,360
Speaker 1: Martin's of the world in the middle. So he's some

220
00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:14,960
Speaker 1: rare I mean, not everybody's J. J. Watt and JPP

221
00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:17,320
Speaker 1: that could go and do all that. So I'm just

222
00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:20,200
Speaker 1: not a big fan of putting outside rushers and the

223
00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:22,559
Speaker 1: inside like that. I mean, I never saw a d

224
00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:25,760
Speaker 1: Ware do that. But yeah, I just say I would

225
00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:28,120
Speaker 1: say that all three of those guys, in my opinion,

226
00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:32,079
Speaker 1: are at least what you would call premier pass rushers

227
00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:34,600
Speaker 1: in the NFL. Maybe they aren't as good at defensive tackle.

228
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:37,680
Speaker 1: I do think that their speed, and in particular Alton Smith.

229
00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:39,560
Speaker 1: I mean, the guy's huge. I think he's about two

230
00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:41,520
Speaker 1: eighty five or two eighty something like that. He's a

231
00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:43,840
Speaker 1: really big guy to be playing defensive end. So I

232
00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:46,400
Speaker 1: think sliding him into defensive tackle, I think you get

233
00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:48,199
Speaker 1: the speed of what he could do on the outside

234
00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:50,640
Speaker 1: that can be disruptive there. But I think he also

235
00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:53,320
Speaker 1: has that power in that big body that can also

236
00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:57,840
Speaker 1: manage to be playing a defensive tackle. He's gonna get

237
00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:02,240
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a problem. He's he's already a finalist

238
00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:04,240
Speaker 1: for Comeback Player of the Year, and I don't know

239
00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:05,960
Speaker 1: if he's gonna win it. We'll see what happens, but

240
00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:09,719
Speaker 1: he's gonna be a finalist right now. He's a problem.

241
00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:11,520
Speaker 1: Tymon Smith will tell you if you if you ever

242
00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:14,280
Speaker 1: talk to the media, he'll tell you, which, Yeah, that

243
00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:16,520
Speaker 1: kind of goes to my point. I mean, I'm not

244
00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:19,080
Speaker 1: trying to convince anybody that it's not a big deal

245
00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:22,600
Speaker 1: that Gerald McCoy is out. But they got they got bodies,

246
00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:27,240
Speaker 1: and they have two supposedly very talented young guys. If

247
00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:30,760
Speaker 1: they can just get something from one of them, it

248
00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:33,160
Speaker 1: doesn't even have to be both. Just get something from

249
00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:36,720
Speaker 1: one of those guys and it'll it'll be okay. It

250
00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:39,480
Speaker 1: ain't gonna be you know, it's not gonna be the

251
00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:42,200
Speaker 1: best defensive line in the league, but it'll be. It'll

252
00:12:42,240 --> 00:13:06,760
Speaker 1: be okay. We'll save actually that conversation for it looks

253
00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:09,040
Speaker 1: like rams some issues with with Derek. Just real quick,

254
00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:13,240
Speaker 1: let's have my background. Now he's back, they come back.

255
00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:20,080
Speaker 1: Now I think I'm back up. Um, I don't know why. No, Well,

256
00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:21,640
Speaker 1: I guess what I was going to ask you guys

257
00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:25,079
Speaker 1: was Um, we've heard we've heard some of the questions

258
00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:29,440
Speaker 1: that are happened from coach Um as well as some

259
00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:31,680
Speaker 1: of the players about the fact that that they think

260
00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:33,839
Speaker 1: that there's going to be uh, some that they may

261
00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:36,240
Speaker 1: kind of switch between four three three four, they may

262
00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:38,240
Speaker 1: do a little bit of both. Uh. There really hasn't

263
00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:40,280
Speaker 1: been a commitment to one or the other. So that

264
00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:42,720
Speaker 1: being said, talk to me about where you think this

265
00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:46,360
Speaker 1: loss may be a potential bigger loss with Gerald McCoy

266
00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:49,520
Speaker 1: now being waived. Um, when you talk about those other

267
00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:51,720
Speaker 1: two guys and the other guys that are left on

268
00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:53,720
Speaker 1: the defensive line, do you think this can affect the

269
00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:56,080
Speaker 1: Cowboys and maybe push them in one direction or the

270
00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:58,840
Speaker 1: other four three verses three four. But sorry with you

271
00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:06,120
Speaker 1: Amber this, why are we still talking about this? I

272
00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:10,400
Speaker 1: get so upset at this subject. I mean, honestly, these

273
00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:16,240
Speaker 1: guys and you guys sound so comfortable. I guess even

274
00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:19,200
Speaker 1: the way that Dave was speaking of how he feels

275
00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:22,040
Speaker 1: with what they got right now and the possibility of

276
00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:25,080
Speaker 1: these other guys being able to step up. But to me,

277
00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:28,960
Speaker 1: I'm at a point where I'm like, I'm done trying

278
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:31,560
Speaker 1: to convince myself at the beginning of the year. Now,

279
00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:33,680
Speaker 1: I'm like, you need to show it to me, you

280
00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:36,680
Speaker 1: need to make it happen. I don't care what they do,

281
00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:39,440
Speaker 1: whether it's a three four four three. They're gonna figure

282
00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:42,360
Speaker 1: out what the guys that they currently have and see

283
00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:45,400
Speaker 1: what they can actually do and make it work. I

284
00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:53,760
Speaker 1: think that the size matters alive. For Sorry, I'm I'm

285
00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:57,320
Speaker 1: getting carried away with other things. I'm sorry. I apologize

286
00:14:57,360 --> 00:15:02,440
Speaker 1: for the unprofessionalism. Size matters a lot when he comes

287
00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:05,840
Speaker 1: down to picking out this position and what you're gonna

288
00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:09,360
Speaker 1: do there. But don't ask me about three four or

289
00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:14,600
Speaker 1: four three. Don't care, all right? I respect that I

290
00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:17,600
Speaker 1: want to you know, you know, Mike McCarthy, if you're

291
00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:19,720
Speaker 1: watching this, don't don't get mad at me. I'm not

292
00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:21,920
Speaker 1: trying to give your game away, but I want to.

293
00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:25,200
Speaker 1: I want to point something out I guess, which is

294
00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:30,880
Speaker 1: that what we've seen to this point mainly is Alden

295
00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:33,720
Speaker 1: Smith and DeMarcus Lawrence rushing the passer from a two

296
00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:37,800
Speaker 1: point stance, not necessarily a three to four because it's

297
00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:40,400
Speaker 1: a four man front still like there's still there's a

298
00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:42,800
Speaker 1: one technique and a three technique in there. Usually when

299
00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:47,080
Speaker 1: it's happening, it's not this you know, massive crazy change

300
00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:49,400
Speaker 1: to a three four front with a true nose tackle

301
00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:53,600
Speaker 1: a zero technique for that matter. Dan Tari Poe, the

302
00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:56,440
Speaker 1: guy who fits that role the best, has not practiced yet.

303
00:15:56,560 --> 00:16:00,480
Speaker 1: So obviously they have the personnel to do that. But

304
00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:02,320
Speaker 1: I don't want to give people the wrong idea that

305
00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:04,880
Speaker 1: they're running all these different fronts. It's a four man front.

306
00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:08,600
Speaker 1: They're just rushing there there ends from a two point stance.

307
00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:12,800
Speaker 1: So we you know, it's been different, don't get me wrong,

308
00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:16,680
Speaker 1: but it hasn't been this crazy, crazy departure um so,

309
00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:18,920
Speaker 1: and I think that's going to continue to be the case.

310
00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:22,000
Speaker 1: I think it's going to be a different presentation of

311
00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:24,320
Speaker 1: what we're already used to. For the most part, in

312
00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:31,080
Speaker 1: my opinion, disagree though, Dave, because I think it's not

313
00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:33,240
Speaker 1: just a four man front. I mean it's really a

314
00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:35,880
Speaker 1: five man front when you think of the defensive line,

315
00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:39,400
Speaker 1: because I still think of Alden Smith as a defensive

316
00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:42,520
Speaker 1: lineman and Griffin and d Law and those guys as

317
00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:46,120
Speaker 1: d lyneen. So when they're both out there standing up,

318
00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:48,720
Speaker 1: I think that's I mean, I don't really call that

319
00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:53,440
Speaker 1: a four man front, you know, because well, I mean

320
00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:58,200
Speaker 1: it's it's from what we've seen. We saw a dose

321
00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:00,240
Speaker 1: tackle which will probably be Poe, but we hadn't seeing

322
00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:03,440
Speaker 1: that yet. But it was McCoy and it was it

323
00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:06,840
Speaker 1: was Crawford and in d Law and all the spen

324
00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:12,639
Speaker 1: A's five because you're only seeing two linebackers. But I

325
00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:14,960
Speaker 1: mean it's not like they're just playing one thing. I mean,

326
00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:19,320
Speaker 1: we what Dave saw, he saw, I saw some other things.

327
00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:22,200
Speaker 1: There's Nickel, there's time. That's why that's why they don't

328
00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:23,960
Speaker 1: want us talking about all this stuff. That's why none

329
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:27,400
Speaker 1: coach wants that, because they're just trying out different things. Yes,

330
00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:30,040
Speaker 1: there'll be four man fronts. There'll be three four looks,

331
00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:33,080
Speaker 1: there'll be four three votes, they'll be five two looks,

332
00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:37,280
Speaker 1: they'll be all of that. That's what Mike Nolan's known for. Yeah,

333
00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:39,479
Speaker 1: and I would suspect I would suspect that they're going

334
00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:41,720
Speaker 1: to be times when And this is just kind of

335
00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:44,480
Speaker 1: the whole idea of using a three four versus four

336
00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:47,240
Speaker 1: three defense. You can flip to a two four five

337
00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:49,720
Speaker 1: where you're in nickel where you only have two down

338
00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:52,160
Speaker 1: linemen and you have four linebackers, and you're considering those

339
00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:55,199
Speaker 1: two outside guys linebackers at that point, right, But I

340
00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:57,560
Speaker 1: get what you're saying, David's still it would still be

341
00:17:57,560 --> 00:18:00,240
Speaker 1: in those kind of scenarios a four man front. Look,

342
00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:04,080
Speaker 1: the point is I'm wondering, is Gerald McCoy being gone,

343
00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:06,800
Speaker 1: how does that affect their ability to be able to

344
00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:09,240
Speaker 1: have a three man front versus a four man front,

345
00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:12,320
Speaker 1: because obviously you're talking about defensive tackles. Their roles changed

346
00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:14,160
Speaker 1: quite a bit when you talk about four three verses

347
00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:16,680
Speaker 1: three four, And that's where I'm a little more trying

348
00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:18,440
Speaker 1: to get to a you know what you guys think

349
00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:22,960
Speaker 1: about this, Ken Tristan Hill or Gallimore stant can they

350
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:25,400
Speaker 1: play let's say, defensive end in a three to four

351
00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:28,440
Speaker 1: as well as play a three technique in a four three.

352
00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:30,600
Speaker 1: That's where I'm trying to figure out where they where.

353
00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:34,600
Speaker 1: You think there's a bigger loss of Gerald McCoy. You know,

354
00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:37,679
Speaker 1: it makes me kind of wonder with this scheme. It

355
00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:40,240
Speaker 1: makes me wonder why they didn't have a lot of

356
00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:43,200
Speaker 1: interest in bringing back Malie Collins. I think he would

357
00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:46,199
Speaker 1: have been a good fit for this. But you know,

358
00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:49,400
Speaker 1: they know more than me, obviously, But I just I'm

359
00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:53,080
Speaker 1: not really sure how the McCoy injuries going to affect everything.

360
00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:55,520
Speaker 1: I don't know who they've got to replace that spot.

361
00:18:55,560 --> 00:19:00,000
Speaker 1: I think Tyrone Crawford, though, can somewhat do it, especially

362
00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:02,480
Speaker 1: if it's kind of a I've always thought Crawford could

363
00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:05,840
Speaker 1: play free four defensive end so well, that's why he

364
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:09,320
Speaker 1: was broad here a million billion years ago. I mean, yeah,

365
00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:12,720
Speaker 1: I think Tyrone can do it. Honestly, I think Antoine

366
00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:15,760
Speaker 1: Woods could probably do it. He's not not ideal by

367
00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:18,600
Speaker 1: any I mean, Antoine Woods is not ideal to play

368
00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:20,560
Speaker 1: on the defensive line in the NFL, but he makes

369
00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:23,880
Speaker 1: it work. Um. I think they could both do it.

370
00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:27,480
Speaker 1: I think I mean, well, Hill and Gallimore, they got

371
00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:29,240
Speaker 1: to have a quick first step. I think they could

372
00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:32,399
Speaker 1: be able to do that. They're always talking about the

373
00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:35,199
Speaker 1: flexibility of a lot of these guys out of that

374
00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:37,840
Speaker 1: whole group, in the whole line. Who would be a

375
00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:40,919
Speaker 1: guy that you guys think that they absolutely need to

376
00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:43,960
Speaker 1: stick to one specific role and don't have that kind

377
00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:56,200
Speaker 1: of flexibility to be moved around. Oh yeah, he's honestly though,

378
00:19:56,359 --> 00:19:59,000
Speaker 1: he could probably play three four in Indo if they

379
00:19:59,040 --> 00:20:01,600
Speaker 1: needed him to. I'll be you'd prefer he played, but

380
00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:06,680
Speaker 1: he probably could. He has played quarterback. So as long

381
00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:11,919
Speaker 1: as adown fast, as long as DeMarcus and Alden Smith

382
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:15,359
Speaker 1: are able to rush off the edge, just do whatever

383
00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:18,439
Speaker 1: else you gotta do to make it work. That's, you

384
00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:21,399
Speaker 1: know the other. The other thing I'm really wondering that

385
00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:24,760
Speaker 1: on that point, Dave is like, once you get um

386
00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:27,920
Speaker 1: Everson Griffin in the mix, I wonder how they look

387
00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:29,520
Speaker 1: at that. Do they look at this and say, you

388
00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:31,000
Speaker 1: know how we talked. We had this conversation a lot

389
00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:33,640
Speaker 1: about offensive lineman. Where you want your best five players

390
00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:36,920
Speaker 1: out there, even if two of those players could probably

391
00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:39,280
Speaker 1: play the same position, you kind of fit that one

392
00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:41,879
Speaker 1: into another position because he's just one of your best five.

393
00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:44,199
Speaker 1: I wonder if they look at this and they say,

394
00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:47,840
Speaker 1: you know, Everson Griffin, Alden Smith, and DeMarcus Lawrence are

395
00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:51,000
Speaker 1: three of our top four defensive linemen. How can we

396
00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:52,919
Speaker 1: get all four of them on the field at the

397
00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:55,479
Speaker 1: same time as much as possible? And I wonder if

398
00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:57,480
Speaker 1: that means that one of those three ends up now

399
00:20:57,560 --> 00:21:01,520
Speaker 1: switching predominantly to another position in order to keep those

400
00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:03,960
Speaker 1: guys on the field more frequently. Not saying it will happen,

401
00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:07,000
Speaker 1: I'm just wondering. It kind of goes to my point.

402
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:10,400
Speaker 1: And I mean, Griffin hasn't practiced yet. He just cleared protocol.

403
00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:14,000
Speaker 1: He just he's barely done anything. He's not practicing. But

404
00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:21,640
Speaker 1: you got Griffin, Poe, Tank, Alden Smith, Tyrone Crawford, and

405
00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:25,359
Speaker 1: then two you know, highly drafted rookies, one of which

406
00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:28,320
Speaker 1: you would think can contribute, like they got bodies and

407
00:21:28,560 --> 00:21:33,160
Speaker 1: talented bodies at that. So it definitely sucks that McCoy

408
00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:36,000
Speaker 1: is not out there. But I just I'm not gonna

409
00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:38,600
Speaker 1: talk myself into thinking it's gonna sink their season that

410
00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:41,719
Speaker 1: he can't play. All Right, We're gonna go and take

411
00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:43,920
Speaker 1: our first break, we come back, we're gonna get into

413
00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:48,280
Speaker 1: little bit about some of the stuff that they've been noticing.

00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:50,800
Speaker 1: Get practice, how players are performing that. When we come

440
00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:29,840

441
00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:35,680
Speaker 1: places at all. They're people, their grandparents, moms, old friends,

442
00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:40,159
Speaker 1: and new nephews. That's why at American Airlines we've been

458
00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:35,320
Speaker 1: into some camp observations. Each of us have had an

459
00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:38,520
Speaker 1: opportunity to watch a few practices, get some idea of

460
00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:41,359
Speaker 1: what we think of players, position groups. I want to

461
00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:44,440
Speaker 1: start first with the defense because I think, at least

462
00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:47,879
Speaker 1: from my perspective and from what I've seen everyone in

463
00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:50,920
Speaker 1: the media talking about, including I think you guys as well,

464
00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:55,880
Speaker 1: everybody's been really impressed with this defense so far. Maybe

465
00:24:55,960 --> 00:24:59,840
Speaker 1: it's because of maybe lower expectations, or maybe it's because

466
00:24:59,840 --> 00:25:02,679
Speaker 1: they really have just been performing very well. But I

467
00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:04,240
Speaker 1: want each of you to kind of we're gonna go around.

468
00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:05,840
Speaker 1: I want each of you to give me a player

469
00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:08,159
Speaker 1: or a position group that's really stood out to you

470
00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:10,440
Speaker 1: on the defensive side of the ball through the first

471
00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:15,480
Speaker 1: few practices. We're gonna start first with you, Dave. I mean,

472
00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:17,600
Speaker 1: you know, I know we do this every year. I

473
00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:21,879
Speaker 1: can hear people complaining about it because nobody wants to

474
00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:23,760
Speaker 1: hear how great they look and then watch him suck.

475
00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:26,119
Speaker 1: But they look pretty good. I mean, we spent the

476
00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:28,600
Speaker 1: whole first segment on how active the pass rush has been.

477
00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:32,439
Speaker 1: They've got I think they have seven takeaways through four practices,

478
00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:35,920
Speaker 1: and I mean that's across a variety of different drills.

479
00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:39,440
Speaker 1: You know, that's seven on seven, that's team, etc. Etc.

480
00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:43,119
Speaker 1: So it's not all eleven on eleven. But they have

481
00:25:43,359 --> 00:25:46,600
Speaker 1: six total interceptions through four practices and Anthony Brown force

482
00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:50,000
Speaker 1: to fumble, So that's been the emphasis, and through four

483
00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:57,760
Speaker 1: practices they're doing it. So that's fun. Amber. I guess

484
00:25:57,800 --> 00:26:00,240
Speaker 1: I'm gonna just stick to the guy I chose yesterday

485
00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:03,639
Speaker 1: for Camp Stars. That the guy the guys do on

486
00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:06,160
Speaker 1: the website on Dallas Camma dot com. But my guy

487
00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:11,920
Speaker 1: would be Francis Bernard. He's a guy that he wouldn't

488
00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:15,399
Speaker 1: never really catch my eye just because he doesn't really

489
00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:20,560
Speaker 1: have that that linebacker mold that these other linebackers have.

490
00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:23,919
Speaker 1: For example, Luke Giffer, he fits that linebacker mole. But

491
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:26,639
Speaker 1: this guy, he's smaller, he's not as big at the

492
00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:29,280
Speaker 1: rest as the rest of the guys, but he has

493
00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:31,879
Speaker 1: been able to to do some things on the field.

494
00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:35,359
Speaker 1: He's quick, he's very, very aware of everything that is

495
00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:38,720
Speaker 1: going on. And another thing that that really impressed me,

496
00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:41,400
Speaker 1: which is off the field, when he's on the sideline,

497
00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:44,240
Speaker 1: I see him constantly just talking to Sean Lee. I

498
00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:47,360
Speaker 1: don't know what they're talking about, but you know, I'm

499
00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:50,400
Speaker 1: sure he's learning something from Shan Lee and asking questions

500
00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:53,000
Speaker 1: and and just being you know, not off to the

501
00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:56,200
Speaker 1: side just watching. He's being interactive and trying to learn

502
00:26:56,240 --> 00:26:58,920
Speaker 1: as much as he can. And and he's Clama eyes

503
00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:04,040
Speaker 1: this first few practice. This Nick, I think we can't

504
00:27:04,119 --> 00:27:06,159
Speaker 1: let her just say that's my guy, because you know

505
00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:12,480
Speaker 1: that I've been smil you mentioned his name. Go ahead,

506
00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:15,560
Speaker 1: it's okay, It's okay. He you know, he catches your

507
00:27:15,560 --> 00:27:18,240
Speaker 1: eye with the hair. But then also, no, he's making plays.

508
00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:22,720
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say defensive line with an asterisk, because guys,

509
00:27:23,040 --> 00:27:25,760
Speaker 1: the offensive tackles have been have been bad. I mean,

510
00:27:25,840 --> 00:27:28,520
Speaker 1: like Tyren Smith doesn't even play that much we haven't

511
00:27:28,560 --> 00:27:32,160
Speaker 1: seen Irving, we haven't seen Lyle Collins, and so it's

512
00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:35,640
Speaker 1: hard to evaluate anything when it's just like a you know,

513
00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:39,840
Speaker 1: they're they're just blitz creaked to the quarterback every single time.

514
00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:43,480
Speaker 1: It's just it's tough to evaluate everybody on offense. So

515
00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:46,600
Speaker 1: defensive line look is looking really good, but I want

516
00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:48,359
Speaker 1: to see what they're look like with a little bit

517
00:27:48,359 --> 00:27:52,560
Speaker 1: more uh competition at the offensive tackles. All right, let's

518
00:27:52,560 --> 00:27:54,440
Speaker 1: flip over to the offensive side of the ball. Let's

519
00:27:54,480 --> 00:27:57,000
Speaker 1: do the exact same thing. I think the offense is

520
00:27:57,040 --> 00:27:59,240
Speaker 1: flashed at moments. I think there have been some good moments,

521
00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:01,480
Speaker 1: some good practices. But tell me a player or a

522
00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:03,280
Speaker 1: position group that stood out to you the most. We're

523
00:28:03,320 --> 00:28:05,840
Speaker 1: gonna start this time first with Amber. Amber. Give me

524
00:28:05,880 --> 00:28:08,560
Speaker 1: somebody on the offensive side. You know what, I've been

525
00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:11,480
Speaker 1: trying to keep my eye on Blake Jarwin. And he's

526
00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:15,000
Speaker 1: a guy that he's not super consistent. He's not gonna

527
00:28:15,040 --> 00:28:18,480
Speaker 1: make every play, but I've been paying attention to him

528
00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:21,480
Speaker 1: even when the ball is not going towards him, when

529
00:28:21,560 --> 00:28:23,560
Speaker 1: it's not going his way, he's still being able to

530
00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:27,200
Speaker 1: get open, make that push that is needed and get

531
00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:31,800
Speaker 1: away from from the defender defender, and he's I don't know,

532
00:28:31,880 --> 00:28:34,359
Speaker 1: I think that he if he gets more opportunities, he

533
00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:40,080
Speaker 1: would be really really good this year. Nick. You know,

534
00:28:40,160 --> 00:28:44,440
Speaker 1: I'm looking at those backup receivers. I know that when

535
00:28:44,480 --> 00:28:46,760
Speaker 1: you're talking about the first three guys, I mean, we

536
00:28:46,840 --> 00:28:49,040
Speaker 1: know where they're going to be. Even then, there seems

537
00:28:49,080 --> 00:28:50,960
Speaker 1: to be a pretty good push there for that fourth

538
00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:54,280
Speaker 1: and fifth spot, maybe a sixth spot. And you know

539
00:28:54,320 --> 00:28:56,800
Speaker 1: a Ventel Brian Oh I kind of put as a

540
00:28:56,880 --> 00:29:01,000
Speaker 1: special team's ace. He's actually making and plays there. Cedric

541
00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:04,320
Speaker 1: Wilson's doing a nice drum. Um, you know, he over

542
00:29:04,360 --> 00:29:07,240
Speaker 1: the middle of doing something and then not forget his name,

543
00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:11,560
Speaker 1: but seventeen Dave helped me here. Um, oh, Tevin Jones,

544
00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:14,800
Speaker 1: he's making Tevin Jones. I mean he's a that guy

545
00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:17,920
Speaker 1: looks the part, really big guy, can move well. I know,

546
00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:20,200
Speaker 1: I'm even leaving out a guy John Vay Johnson. Of course,

547
00:29:20,240 --> 00:29:23,400
Speaker 1: he's a you know, he's always gonna look good in camp. Um,

548
00:29:23,480 --> 00:29:29,000
Speaker 1: but you know, I haven't seen it. But yeah, I'm

549
00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:33,160
Speaker 1: apparently I haven't seen nor Brown making any plays. Is

550
00:29:33,200 --> 00:29:37,720
Speaker 1: he making plays? He's making plays. He's good looks he's

551
00:29:37,760 --> 00:29:41,080
Speaker 1: moving around a lazy He's gonna be on the Giants

552
00:29:41,120 --> 00:29:43,440
Speaker 1: practice squid. Ye'all don't have to believe it if you

553
00:29:43,480 --> 00:29:47,560
Speaker 1: don't want to. But he's he's I mean, the one

554
00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:49,200
Speaker 1: thing we got to remember here is Noah Brown was

555
00:29:49,240 --> 00:29:51,360
Speaker 1: a pet cat of that previous coaching staff. We don't

556
00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:53,320
Speaker 1: know that he's walking into the door this year with

557
00:29:53,360 --> 00:29:57,440
Speaker 1: that same kind of love coming from no Nick's absolutely right.

558
00:29:57,480 --> 00:29:59,560
Speaker 1: If he doesn't make this team, he'll be in East

559
00:29:59,680 --> 00:30:03,400
Speaker 1: rather On like the absolute next flight. No doubt about it,

560
00:30:03,680 --> 00:30:07,040
Speaker 1: no doubt about it. All right, let's let's talk a

561
00:30:07,080 --> 00:30:09,200
Speaker 1: little bit more about the offensive side. Nick, you alluded

562
00:30:09,280 --> 00:30:11,400
Speaker 1: to you don't even want to talk to me. You

563
00:30:11,400 --> 00:30:14,680
Speaker 1: don't want to. I'm sorry, Dave. I thought i'd already

564
00:30:14,680 --> 00:30:16,320
Speaker 1: gone to you. Dave, give me your give you offensive

565
00:30:16,320 --> 00:30:20,440
Speaker 1: guy or position. I mean, I know, I'm gonna take

566
00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:23,200
Speaker 1: this opportunity to be a downer. I mean, we could go,

567
00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:26,680
Speaker 1: we could talk. Oh, I mean, you know, the receivers

568
00:30:26,680 --> 00:30:29,240
Speaker 1: are great. If you follow our coverage at all, you

569
00:30:29,280 --> 00:30:31,160
Speaker 1: know that Zeke and Pollard or doing a lot of

570
00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:35,760
Speaker 1: stuff in the running and the passing game. Um, I'm

571
00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:38,120
Speaker 1: it makes me nervous what's going on with the right

572
00:30:38,160 --> 00:30:40,040
Speaker 1: tackle spot. To be honest with you, I mean Nick

573
00:30:40,080 --> 00:30:44,120
Speaker 1: already laid it out perfectly. But you know, if Lyle

574
00:30:44,160 --> 00:30:46,600
Speaker 1: Collins and Cameron Irving weren't hurt so bad that they

575
00:30:46,600 --> 00:30:50,120
Speaker 1: opened the camp on pup, which if it was really bad,

576
00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:54,520
Speaker 1: you assume that they would. But they haven't practiced yet.

577
00:30:54,560 --> 00:30:56,479
Speaker 1: We have, I mean, we haven't seen them do anything

578
00:30:56,520 --> 00:31:00,560
Speaker 1: competitive and nobody wants to talk about why. And and

579
00:31:00,640 --> 00:31:03,440
Speaker 1: maybe it's not serious, but it's kind of hard to

580
00:31:03,480 --> 00:31:08,040
Speaker 1: evaluate what the offense is doing when Dak is theoretically

581
00:31:08,040 --> 00:31:10,560
Speaker 1: getting killed every other time he drops back. I mean,

582
00:31:10,840 --> 00:31:13,760
Speaker 1: it's training camp, so you can't hit him. But DeMarcus

583
00:31:13,840 --> 00:31:17,520
Speaker 1: Lawrence probably has eight sacks through two padded practices. Um.

584
00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:21,120
Speaker 1: I would really like to see one of these experienced

585
00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:26,320
Speaker 1: right tackles get back into practice, hopefully sooner rather than later. Yeah,

586
00:31:26,840 --> 00:31:30,240
Speaker 1: the point ahead Amber, I was gonna ask, what's the

587
00:31:30,360 --> 00:31:34,480
Speaker 1: point of being so secretive about whether it's an injury

588
00:31:34,640 --> 00:31:37,800
Speaker 1: or illness. I don't understand why they're being so secretive

589
00:31:37,840 --> 00:31:43,080
Speaker 1: about it, because you can, that's I mean, that's that's

590
00:31:43,120 --> 00:31:46,120
Speaker 1: my best name, because you can, you know, and I

591
00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:49,080
Speaker 1: don't necessarily you know, it's frustrating for us in the media,

592
00:31:49,160 --> 00:31:52,240
Speaker 1: but I don't necessarily blame Mike McCarthy. He said it himself.

593
00:31:52,280 --> 00:31:54,920
Speaker 1: It's like it's one of the few advantages that he

594
00:31:55,000 --> 00:31:57,800
Speaker 1: has is, you know, it's a first year staff, so

595
00:31:57,880 --> 00:32:00,920
Speaker 1: nobody one hundred percent knows what to expect, and they

596
00:32:00,920 --> 00:32:04,360
Speaker 1: don't have to play on TV, so he doesn't have

597
00:32:04,400 --> 00:32:06,640
Speaker 1: to expose his roster if he doesn't want to. So

598
00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:09,760
Speaker 1: it's annoying, but if he wants to be a super secretive,

599
00:32:10,720 --> 00:32:14,240
Speaker 1: he can do that in these circumstances. And think about it,

600
00:32:14,280 --> 00:32:16,000
Speaker 1: you could take it even a step further with that.

601
00:32:16,200 --> 00:32:18,400
Speaker 1: Usually a new head coach, a new coaching staff would

602
00:32:18,400 --> 00:32:20,640
Speaker 1: get an opportunity to be able to have a few

603
00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:24,680
Speaker 1: extra training practices during the offseason. They didn't get that

604
00:32:24,720 --> 00:32:28,479
Speaker 1: this year, so whatever advantages were actually built into the

605
00:32:28,560 --> 00:32:32,120
Speaker 1: NFL system for new coaches, they lost that as well.

606
00:32:32,200 --> 00:32:35,760
Speaker 1: So really this is kind of the the only advantage

607
00:32:35,800 --> 00:32:38,480
Speaker 1: they have right now is that nobody knows what the

608
00:32:38,520 --> 00:32:41,280
Speaker 1: Cowboys are really going to be able to do because

609
00:32:41,320 --> 00:32:43,440
Speaker 1: there will be no preseason games, so literally they will

610
00:32:43,480 --> 00:32:45,760
Speaker 1: walk on the field for the first time against the

611
00:32:46,160 --> 00:32:48,640
Speaker 1: Los Angeles Rams, and that will be the first time

612
00:32:48,680 --> 00:32:51,080
Speaker 1: anybody in the NFL will get an idea of what

613
00:32:51,120 --> 00:32:54,040
Speaker 1: the Cowboys will be trying to do offensively and defensively.

614
00:32:54,080 --> 00:32:55,800
Speaker 1: So that's an advantage and they want to try to

615
00:32:55,800 --> 00:32:57,440
Speaker 1: take advantage that as much. And I really can't blame

616
00:32:57,520 --> 00:33:00,360
Speaker 1: him for that. And this about the injury, I mean,

617
00:33:00,360 --> 00:33:02,280
Speaker 1: this is something like Dave said, this is something you

618
00:33:02,320 --> 00:33:04,920
Speaker 1: can do right now, so they're doing it. But I

619
00:33:04,960 --> 00:33:07,400
Speaker 1: wouldn't worry too much about this is going to be

620
00:33:07,400 --> 00:33:09,920
Speaker 1: the way it is all year because the NFL won't

621
00:33:09,960 --> 00:33:13,400
Speaker 1: allow that. So once we get to get to the

622
00:33:13,400 --> 00:33:16,600
Speaker 1: regular season when the injury report, official end report has

623
00:33:16,640 --> 00:33:21,360
Speaker 1: to come out. Now there's ways around, you know, revealing everything,

624
00:33:21,400 --> 00:33:23,360
Speaker 1: and I think there's a certain team up Northeast that

625
00:33:23,440 --> 00:33:26,160
Speaker 1: does it better than anybody. But I do think that

626
00:33:26,280 --> 00:33:30,160
Speaker 1: they'll you'll have to put the specific injury out there,

627
00:33:30,200 --> 00:33:32,680
Speaker 1: So I'm not too worried about it. If training camp

628
00:33:32,720 --> 00:33:34,560
Speaker 1: it's kind of vague, but I think it'll get better

629
00:33:34,560 --> 00:33:38,720
Speaker 1: as the season goes on. Did I will say go ahead, Dave,

630
00:33:38,880 --> 00:33:42,480
Speaker 1: but I just you know, I will say this is

631
00:33:43,120 --> 00:33:46,840
Speaker 1: it's amateur and it's not. It ain't scientific. Put it

632
00:33:46,880 --> 00:33:48,840
Speaker 1: that way, But I mean, Lyle Collins has been at

633
00:33:48,880 --> 00:33:52,720
Speaker 1: practice every day. He's been in uniform. You know, he

634
00:33:52,760 --> 00:33:56,880
Speaker 1: was doing strength and conditioning rehab with Britt Brown before practice,

635
00:33:57,440 --> 00:34:01,200
Speaker 1: not yesterday, but the few days before that. Um wearing

636
00:34:01,280 --> 00:34:04,160
Speaker 1: his helmet, taking part in stuff. Body language is good.

637
00:34:04,240 --> 00:34:08,439
Speaker 1: So it doesn't look from a distance like it's this

638
00:34:08,680 --> 00:34:12,040
Speaker 1: super scary long term injury. But again, I mean that's

639
00:34:12,080 --> 00:34:15,520
Speaker 1: not necessarily evidence. It's just kind of my hunch from

640
00:34:15,520 --> 00:34:19,880
Speaker 1: watching practice. The Cowboys did sound an offensive tackle and

641
00:34:19,960 --> 00:34:22,840
Speaker 1: Pace Murphy. Did you guys read anything into that that

642
00:34:22,960 --> 00:34:25,319
Speaker 1: maybe this is a longer term for one or both

643
00:34:25,320 --> 00:34:29,000
Speaker 1: of these guys that are currently here. I just think

644
00:34:29,040 --> 00:34:31,480
Speaker 1: it means that the guys they have are not doing

645
00:34:31,520 --> 00:34:39,799
Speaker 1: a good job. I mean, I think Terence Steele and

646
00:34:39,840 --> 00:34:42,840
Speaker 1: Wyatt Miller, god, you know, God bless him. I'm not

647
00:34:42,840 --> 00:34:45,200
Speaker 1: trying to hate, but they must they must be having

648
00:34:45,320 --> 00:34:47,520
Speaker 1: nightmares when they go back to their hotel rooms at

649
00:34:47,600 --> 00:34:50,960
Speaker 1: night because they're having to deal with guys like Aldon

650
00:34:51,040 --> 00:34:53,600
Speaker 1: Smith and Tank Lawrence. And that's that's not easy for

651
00:34:53,680 --> 00:34:57,120
Speaker 1: Lyle Collins, let alone somebody who just got here who's

652
00:34:57,160 --> 00:34:59,759
Speaker 1: fifth on the depth chart. So I think they're just

653
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:02,680
Speaker 1: trying to throw bodies at it and get through practice.

654
00:35:03,560 --> 00:35:06,120
Speaker 1: Didn't we get Isaac in there? Can Isaac start making

655
00:35:06,120 --> 00:35:11,680
Speaker 1: some place? I can't even pronounce his last name. I

656
00:35:11,800 --> 00:35:16,160
Speaker 1: let go, let go, no, you know, and people have

657
00:35:16,239 --> 00:35:18,960
Speaker 1: been asking me about him. There's still a lot of

658
00:35:19,200 --> 00:35:22,920
Speaker 1: growth needed to happen there. He I mean, we know

659
00:35:23,040 --> 00:35:26,200
Speaker 1: the transition from when you're not in the NFL getting

660
00:35:26,239 --> 00:35:28,719
Speaker 1: to the NFL and that first year, how tough it is.

661
00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:31,759
Speaker 1: But this guy that they sign, I looked him up

662
00:35:31,760 --> 00:35:35,120
Speaker 1: and I'm like, oh, no, NFL experience. Okay. I stopped reading.

663
00:35:35,120 --> 00:35:38,800
Speaker 1: I'm like, okay, I need someone that has experienced doing

664
00:35:38,880 --> 00:35:41,640
Speaker 1: something so I can feel better in case something does

665
00:35:41,719 --> 00:35:44,600
Speaker 1: happen to like all Collins. We've seen it in the past.

666
00:35:44,680 --> 00:35:50,640
Speaker 1: Anytime there's an injury in the offensive line, it's costing.

667
00:35:50,960 --> 00:35:53,600
Speaker 1: You know, it's gonna cost you a big price. So

668
00:35:54,280 --> 00:35:56,960
Speaker 1: they need someone that can really help you and feel

669
00:35:57,280 --> 00:36:01,480
Speaker 1: that you can What is that called the band aid guy?

670
00:36:01,680 --> 00:36:04,120
Speaker 1: A band aid and not a band aid. We need

671
00:36:04,160 --> 00:36:07,759
Speaker 1: an actual goss that can be wrapped around all the way,

672
00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:10,440
Speaker 1: not a bandaid that can start peeling off with sweat

673
00:36:10,520 --> 00:36:12,839
Speaker 1: during the game. We need something that will wrap all

674
00:36:12,880 --> 00:36:15,120
Speaker 1: the way around and the work for you in case

675
00:36:15,120 --> 00:36:17,840
Speaker 1: of needed. They have that guy, his name is Cam Irving.

676
00:36:17,880 --> 00:36:21,759
Speaker 1: He's hurt too, so well exactly that's the point. Well,

677
00:36:22,120 --> 00:36:25,080
Speaker 1: a gee something, you're like, you know, I just need

678
00:36:25,400 --> 00:36:28,040
Speaker 1: I need a Pro Bowl fourth string tackle, and that's

679
00:36:28,080 --> 00:36:30,520
Speaker 1: just that's not how it works, my guy, That's not

680
00:36:30,560 --> 00:36:35,120
Speaker 1: how it works. Well, hopefully those two guys, or at

681
00:36:35,200 --> 00:36:37,200
Speaker 1: least one of those guys can get back to practice

682
00:36:37,239 --> 00:36:39,920
Speaker 1: really soon to at least give those defensive ends a

683
00:36:39,920 --> 00:36:43,240
Speaker 1: good look in practice, and we'll see how that thing transpires.

684
00:36:43,280 --> 00:36:45,120

733
00:39:38,520 --> 00:39:41,040
Speaker 1: went to Twitter last night, got some questions from you guys.

734
00:39:41,200 --> 00:39:42,640
Speaker 1: Look like there were a lot of them flowing in,

735
00:39:42,640 --> 00:39:44,240
Speaker 1: so let's see how many we can get to Amber.

736
00:39:45,120 --> 00:39:47,520
Speaker 1: All right, thank you, thank you so much to everyone

737
00:39:47,520 --> 00:39:50,759
Speaker 1: who's sent into questions. To start off, Hell, here's the

738
00:39:50,840 --> 00:39:54,480
Speaker 1: first question. Who else is getting reps as a punt

739
00:39:54,520 --> 00:40:01,880
Speaker 1: returner beside cde Lamb, Cedric Wilson. That's your your primary

740
00:40:02,000 --> 00:40:08,359
Speaker 1: suspect so far? Okay, how do you go about? How

741
00:40:08,400 --> 00:40:11,560
Speaker 1: do you but but it just it just it makes

742
00:40:11,600 --> 00:40:13,560
Speaker 1: sense because Cedric did it last year. You know, I

743
00:40:14,400 --> 00:40:17,160
Speaker 1: was the guy I said all offseason that I wanted

744
00:40:17,200 --> 00:40:19,400
Speaker 1: Tony Pollard to get a shot at it. But you

745
00:40:19,480 --> 00:40:21,520
Speaker 1: have CD Lamb now, so I don't care as much

746
00:40:21,520 --> 00:40:24,800
Speaker 1: about that as I used to. Um, we know Jordan

747
00:40:24,920 --> 00:40:26,880
Speaker 1: Lewis has done it in the past, but really for

748
00:40:26,920 --> 00:40:29,360
Speaker 1: the most part, it's been Cedric and CD doing the

749
00:40:29,400 --> 00:40:33,600
Speaker 1: majority of it. If CD turns out to be your

750
00:40:33,600 --> 00:40:36,319
Speaker 1: primary return or how do you guys feel about that

751
00:40:36,960 --> 00:40:39,120
Speaker 1: after seeing what he's already been able to do so

752
00:40:39,160 --> 00:40:42,040
Speaker 1: far at receiver, Because I think we all watch him

753
00:40:42,040 --> 00:40:44,359
Speaker 1: at receiver and are very very impressed with what he's

754
00:40:44,360 --> 00:40:46,759
Speaker 1: able to do there. How how concerned are you and

755
00:40:46,800 --> 00:40:49,399
Speaker 1: putting him in a in a return role if if

756
00:40:49,400 --> 00:40:50,920
Speaker 1: you think they're going to use him as much as

757
00:40:50,920 --> 00:40:53,920
Speaker 1: we think they will at a wide receiver, I'm not

758
00:40:54,000 --> 00:40:56,560
Speaker 1: concerned at all. I mean, I just think that you

759
00:40:56,680 --> 00:40:58,399
Speaker 1: got to get the ball in his hands. It's gonna

760
00:40:58,440 --> 00:41:00,440
Speaker 1: be hard to share it on offense with all the

761
00:41:00,440 --> 00:41:03,480
Speaker 1: guys that they've got Zeke running the ball, I'm not

762
00:41:03,680 --> 00:41:06,080
Speaker 1: I'm not. You gotta figure out ways to get dynamic

763
00:41:06,120 --> 00:41:09,960
Speaker 1: players in there. So, um, that doesn't bother me at all.

764
00:41:10,000 --> 00:41:13,840
Speaker 1: If your third receiver is returning punts, that's that's fine.

765
00:41:15,080 --> 00:41:17,279
Speaker 1: I'm always the guy that you know I don't want

766
00:41:17,320 --> 00:41:20,200
Speaker 1: good players to play in the preseason, but that's because

767
00:41:20,239 --> 00:41:24,320
Speaker 1: the preseasons meaningless. Returning punts is not meaningless. Field position

768
00:41:24,440 --> 00:41:26,759
Speaker 1: is crucial. It's I mean, it costs the Cowboys like

769
00:41:26,800 --> 00:41:30,360
Speaker 1: at least two games last year. I want dynamic players

770
00:41:30,760 --> 00:41:33,319
Speaker 1: with opportunities to touch the ball. So I'm all in

771
00:41:33,360 --> 00:41:39,200
Speaker 1: on CD returning punts. I love it. Camber and he

772
00:41:39,280 --> 00:41:43,319
Speaker 1: said he likes doing it, So that's a plus. When

773
00:41:43,320 --> 00:41:45,120
Speaker 1: you got a guy that actually he likes doing a

774
00:41:45,160 --> 00:41:47,879
Speaker 1: certain job. All right. Moving on to late in vendor Ish,

775
00:41:47,880 --> 00:41:50,399
Speaker 1: how's he doing with the whole neck injury so far?

776
00:41:51,000 --> 00:41:54,120
Speaker 1: From the things I've we've been able to see a practice,

777
00:41:56,520 --> 00:41:59,359
Speaker 1: I really didn't want to talk about it, So no, Babe,

778
00:41:59,400 --> 00:42:01,919
Speaker 1: we shouldn't talk about it. He doesn't like talking about

779
00:42:01,920 --> 00:42:03,719
Speaker 1: it because I think he feels like he's moving on

780
00:42:03,800 --> 00:42:05,759
Speaker 1: and so he looks pretty good at this point. The

781
00:42:05,800 --> 00:42:07,560
Speaker 1: fact that he did not start on pump I thought

782
00:42:07,640 --> 00:42:10,640
Speaker 1: was a really big sign. So, so far, so good.

783
00:42:10,800 --> 00:42:13,040
Speaker 1: Obviously not you know, he's not banging in there with

784
00:42:13,120 --> 00:42:16,600
Speaker 1: the other blockers, but you know, we'll see when he

785
00:42:16,640 --> 00:42:18,799
Speaker 1: gets that first couple of hits. But I think right now,

786
00:42:18,800 --> 00:42:21,719
Speaker 1: I think it's going pretty good. Yeah, he's full go

787
00:42:22,040 --> 00:42:24,680
Speaker 1: him and Jaylen both. I mean, it's it's practice, but

788
00:42:24,800 --> 00:42:28,000
Speaker 1: they both look really good. I've been really impressed with

789
00:42:28,040 --> 00:42:31,799
Speaker 1: both of them so far. Yeah, linebacker and running back

790
00:42:31,800 --> 00:42:34,279
Speaker 1: are probably the two hardest positions to really evaluate in

791
00:42:34,320 --> 00:42:37,279
Speaker 1: training camp when you're not actually hitting and tackling. But

792
00:42:37,440 --> 00:42:39,719
Speaker 1: I will say this, based on what you've already seen,

793
00:42:40,000 --> 00:42:41,920
Speaker 1: I think both those guys that you just mentioned, Dave,

794
00:42:41,960 --> 00:42:44,279
Speaker 1: they look really good. Particularly, I've liked what I've seen

795
00:42:44,320 --> 00:42:47,960
Speaker 1: from them in the drills where they've been in coverage,

796
00:42:48,440 --> 00:42:50,719
Speaker 1: because I did not think and I have not that

797
00:42:50,880 --> 00:42:54,320
Speaker 1: thought that Jalen Smith necessarily was was great in coverage.

798
00:42:54,760 --> 00:42:56,440
Speaker 1: But I think he's done pretty well here in training

799
00:42:56,480 --> 00:42:58,920
Speaker 1: camp so far. It'll be interesting to see once they

800
00:42:58,960 --> 00:43:02,600
Speaker 1: actually start hitting, if we see a similar type result

801
00:43:02,600 --> 00:43:06,839
Speaker 1: from both those guys at linebacker. All Right, this guy

802
00:43:07,000 --> 00:43:09,719
Speaker 1: says that, you know, we're used to talking about the

803
00:43:09,800 --> 00:43:12,960
Speaker 1: great Dallas Cowboys offensive line, but at this moment he

804
00:43:13,000 --> 00:43:17,200
Speaker 1: feels that that specific position group is the weakest. How

805
00:43:17,239 --> 00:43:18,840
Speaker 1: do you guys feel about that when you look at

806
00:43:18,880 --> 00:43:21,960
Speaker 1: the whole roster, what position group would you say is

807
00:43:22,000 --> 00:43:28,160
Speaker 1: the weakest at this point? I'm oh, okay, that's a

808
00:43:28,160 --> 00:43:31,879
Speaker 1: good one. I mean, they have this unproven I mean,

809
00:43:31,920 --> 00:43:33,640
Speaker 1: he might be might be pretty good, but I mean

810
00:43:33,680 --> 00:43:35,960
Speaker 1: Blake might be pretty good. But I think I think

811
00:43:36,280 --> 00:43:39,680
Speaker 1: they're the weakest on offense. The offensive line is going

812
00:43:39,719 --> 00:43:43,960
Speaker 1: to be fine once Lyle gets back in there, I believe.

813
00:43:44,080 --> 00:43:46,840
Speaker 1: But but yeah, I do agree with the point that

814
00:43:46,920 --> 00:43:48,960
Speaker 1: it's not what it used to be. I don't think

815
00:43:48,960 --> 00:43:52,040
Speaker 1: it's this dominating thing. You can't just keep getting injury

816
00:43:52,080 --> 00:43:55,160
Speaker 1: for these guys and losing Travis Frederick. It's not the same,

817
00:43:55,600 --> 00:44:00,600
Speaker 1: but I still think it's pretty good. I still I

818
00:44:00,600 --> 00:44:05,239
Speaker 1: mean until proven otherwise. Oh sorry, sorry a g until

819
00:44:05,280 --> 00:44:09,160
Speaker 1: proven otherwise. It's the secondary. It's the secondary until I

820
00:44:09,160 --> 00:44:11,319
Speaker 1: mean they've been they've they're off to a nice start.

821
00:44:11,400 --> 00:44:13,439
Speaker 1: Like I said, they've got I think they have four

822
00:44:13,480 --> 00:44:16,480
Speaker 1: picks at the DBS have four picks because Francis Bernard

823
00:44:16,520 --> 00:44:18,960
Speaker 1: has two of those. So I mean, it's a nice start.

824
00:44:19,040 --> 00:44:23,480
Speaker 1: But there's there's proven playmaking ability almost everywhere else on

825
00:44:23,480 --> 00:44:26,239
Speaker 1: this team, but we don't necessarily have that from the

826
00:44:26,280 --> 00:44:30,399
Speaker 1: defensive backs. Not only that, but let's consider this. Let's

827
00:44:30,400 --> 00:44:32,680
Speaker 1: slow down a little bit. The offensive line still has

828
00:44:32,719 --> 00:44:35,399
Speaker 1: two All pros on it, and at last time I check,

829
00:44:35,600 --> 00:44:38,880
Speaker 1: tight ends don't have a single one. Uh, the secondary

830
00:44:38,920 --> 00:44:41,279
Speaker 1: doesn't have a single one. So I think there are

831
00:44:41,280 --> 00:44:43,239
Speaker 1: other positions on this team that you look at and

832
00:44:43,239 --> 00:44:45,320
Speaker 1: you're like it, there's a little bit more to prove

833
00:44:45,640 --> 00:44:47,879
Speaker 1: than this offensive line. I think the offensive line will

834
00:44:47,880 --> 00:44:49,960
Speaker 1: be fine. Part of the problem right now is just

835
00:44:50,000 --> 00:44:52,080
Speaker 1: you got injuries at your at your swing tackle in

836
00:44:52,120 --> 00:44:54,600
Speaker 1: your right tackle position. That'll work itself out. I think

837
00:44:54,600 --> 00:45:00,560
Speaker 1: they'll be fine. When you talk about the secondary and

838
00:45:01,280 --> 00:45:05,399
Speaker 1: today's point about that whole area. To me, right now,

839
00:45:05,520 --> 00:45:10,000
Speaker 1: I don't know how you really truly get to evaluate

840
00:45:10,040 --> 00:45:12,560
Speaker 1: this because I feel like every training camp that is

841
00:45:12,560 --> 00:45:17,160
Speaker 1: a position group that we notice and guys start standing out.

842
00:45:17,200 --> 00:45:19,400
Speaker 1: You know, last year we were talking about Jordan Lewis

843
00:45:19,440 --> 00:45:21,680
Speaker 1: and how well he was doing and everything like that.

844
00:45:21,719 --> 00:45:23,920
Speaker 1: But then you get into the season and then you

845
00:45:23,960 --> 00:45:27,799
Speaker 1: start seeing certain players Cheeto not performing as well as

846
00:45:27,840 --> 00:45:30,600
Speaker 1: you would want them to or expect them to. So

847
00:45:30,640 --> 00:45:35,320
Speaker 1: how do you really get to evaluate at this point?

848
00:45:35,360 --> 00:45:37,080
Speaker 1: I know it's it's hard for us, and I know

849
00:45:37,160 --> 00:45:40,279
Speaker 1: it's hard for the coaching staff and the scouting department,

850
00:45:40,360 --> 00:45:46,600
Speaker 1: But how do you figure it out? I mean we don't.

851
00:45:47,440 --> 00:45:50,440
Speaker 1: I mean they can make their own evaluations. They have

852
00:45:50,520 --> 00:45:52,600
Speaker 1: the L twenty two, they can go back and watch,

853
00:45:53,000 --> 00:45:55,760
Speaker 1: and they have a much better idea of like, Okay,

854
00:45:55,800 --> 00:45:58,920
Speaker 1: this guy's really coming on or you know, kind of

855
00:45:58,960 --> 00:46:01,640
Speaker 1: reminds me of the Loop Gift interception in the preseason

856
00:46:01,719 --> 00:46:04,040
Speaker 1: last year where we're all like, what an amazing play

857
00:46:04,160 --> 00:46:06,279
Speaker 1: and the coaches are like, he was so far out

858
00:46:06,280 --> 00:46:08,680
Speaker 1: of position it's not even funny. But the quarterback made

859
00:46:08,719 --> 00:46:12,759
Speaker 1: a bad decision. It's hard. With what we're working with,

860
00:46:12,800 --> 00:46:14,719
Speaker 1: it's hard. So all I try to do is just

861
00:46:14,760 --> 00:46:17,480
Speaker 1: say what I see. If you notice I couch everything

862
00:46:17,520 --> 00:46:20,440
Speaker 1: I say, I say, it looks like or I think,

863
00:46:20,560 --> 00:46:22,680
Speaker 1: which I mean. I'm just doing the best that I can.

864
00:46:22,760 --> 00:46:26,439
Speaker 1: But yeah, every single year, somebody that we love during

865
00:46:26,480 --> 00:46:29,400
Speaker 1: training camp turns out to be kind of disappointing. So

866
00:46:29,520 --> 00:46:31,640
Speaker 1: you're just trying to do the best you can and

867
00:46:32,280 --> 00:46:37,719
Speaker 1: let people know what you see. I guess you know.

868
00:46:37,880 --> 00:46:40,600
Speaker 1: I'll use this phrase one of the guys here the

869
00:46:40,640 --> 00:46:43,960
Speaker 1: local media uses it a lot, Jock Taylor. Sports is fluid,

870
00:46:44,200 --> 00:46:46,120
Speaker 1: and I think that's kind of the best way you

871
00:46:46,120 --> 00:46:48,480
Speaker 1: could put this. Like, just because we talk about a

872
00:46:48,520 --> 00:46:51,319
Speaker 1: specific player right now and say, oh, he's performing really well,

873
00:46:51,640 --> 00:46:53,960
Speaker 1: that has absolutely no bearing on how he's going to

874
00:46:54,000 --> 00:46:57,040
Speaker 1: perform week one or week sixteen. The fact of the

875
00:46:57,040 --> 00:46:59,120
Speaker 1: matter is you just talk about what you see right

876
00:46:59,160 --> 00:47:01,880
Speaker 1: now and we and the proof will be what are

877
00:47:01,920 --> 00:47:03,920
Speaker 1: they doing in week one, in week two, in week three,

878
00:47:04,000 --> 00:47:06,680
Speaker 1: week four, as they play throughout the season. That will

879
00:47:06,719 --> 00:47:09,400
Speaker 1: really be the proof. But you know, again, we're just

880
00:47:09,440 --> 00:47:12,359
Speaker 1: talking about what's happening right now. You cannot I don't

881
00:47:12,400 --> 00:47:14,359
Speaker 1: think and at least what I've seen over the years

882
00:47:14,360 --> 00:47:16,719
Speaker 1: that I've covered this team. You cannot put a ton

883
00:47:16,719 --> 00:47:18,920
Speaker 1: of stock in what you see in training camp, necessarily

884
00:47:18,960 --> 00:47:21,200
Speaker 1: because there will be guys that don't do much in

885
00:47:21,200 --> 00:47:23,040
Speaker 1: training camp that show up really big when the season

886
00:47:23,120 --> 00:47:25,440
Speaker 1: gets here. There'll be others they look really great in

887
00:47:25,440 --> 00:47:29,040
Speaker 1: training camp and won't do anything once the season gets here. So,

888
00:47:29,440 --> 00:47:31,200
Speaker 1: you know, you just talk about what you have right now,

889
00:47:31,280 --> 00:47:34,000
Speaker 1: and there's no way to really evaluate the future. You

890
00:47:34,000 --> 00:47:40,000
Speaker 1: can only evaluate what's happening right now in these practice situations. Now,

891
00:47:40,120 --> 00:47:43,759
Speaker 1: we are limited on certain things that we can talk

892
00:47:43,840 --> 00:47:47,919
Speaker 1: about from this practices, But based on what we've seen

893
00:47:48,000 --> 00:47:51,200
Speaker 1: so far, what is something whether on offense or defense,

894
00:47:51,280 --> 00:47:54,520
Speaker 1: that has caught your eyes overall that it's different from

895
00:47:54,560 --> 00:48:02,279
Speaker 1: what we've seen in previous years, Nick um Dan, I'm

896
00:48:02,360 --> 00:48:05,320
Speaker 1: hoping somebody else could jump in on that, like something

897
00:48:05,360 --> 00:48:09,160
Speaker 1: that's different. I mean, just I guess there's a little

898
00:48:09,200 --> 00:48:11,520
Speaker 1: bit of drills here and there. I'm trying. I'm trying

899
00:48:11,520 --> 00:48:14,480
Speaker 1: to think of like something that's that's a big deal.

900
00:48:14,640 --> 00:48:17,680
Speaker 1: I mean, I could just I could say, oh, red

901
00:48:17,760 --> 00:48:20,120
Speaker 1: jerseys on the quarterbacks or last names on the bat

902
00:48:20,160 --> 00:48:23,880
Speaker 1: I mean, but that doesn't matter. That's just visible changes.

903
00:48:25,640 --> 00:48:28,000
Speaker 1: I really can't think you guys have something that that's

904
00:48:28,040 --> 00:48:30,279
Speaker 1: like you said, oh, this is completely different than what

905
00:48:30,280 --> 00:48:32,839
Speaker 1: we've seen in the past. I don't know if it's

906
00:48:32,840 --> 00:48:36,839
Speaker 1: completely different, but um, you know, not trying to give

907
00:48:36,920 --> 00:48:41,000
Speaker 1: Mike's game away, but I just the running backs are active,

908
00:48:41,280 --> 00:48:44,720
Speaker 1: and they are doing things downfield and on the side

909
00:48:44,719 --> 00:48:46,600
Speaker 1: of the field and in the middle of the field,

910
00:48:46,719 --> 00:48:52,120
Speaker 1: and it's just it's exciting because it was a source

911
00:48:52,160 --> 00:48:54,760
Speaker 1: of great frustration that they weren't a little more creative

912
00:48:54,800 --> 00:48:58,520
Speaker 1: with those guys last year. And you know, we just

913
00:48:58,560 --> 00:49:00,960
Speaker 1: said what they're doing right now. It doesn't mean they'll

914
00:49:00,960 --> 00:49:03,280
Speaker 1: do it when the season starts. But I'm more confident

915
00:49:03,320 --> 00:49:07,719
Speaker 1: than ever that both Ezekiel Elliott and Tony Pollard will

916
00:49:07,800 --> 00:49:14,120
Speaker 1: have big and diverse roles in this offense. And that's exciting. Yeah.

917
00:49:14,160 --> 00:49:16,279
Speaker 1: You know, one thing I guess I could say to

918
00:49:16,400 --> 00:49:20,520
Speaker 1: that is that we've seen more practice with quarterbacks throwing

919
00:49:20,520 --> 00:49:23,080
Speaker 1: the ball on the run like before. You know, sometimes

920
00:49:23,080 --> 00:49:25,759
Speaker 1: it just happens, they're part of the game, but we've

921
00:49:25,800 --> 00:49:29,160
Speaker 1: actually seen drills where they are designed to go through

922
00:49:29,200 --> 00:49:32,520
Speaker 1: things and then throw it. Um, that's that that kind

923
00:49:32,520 --> 00:49:34,359
Speaker 1: of shows to me that you know that they may

924
00:49:34,440 --> 00:49:36,880
Speaker 1: try to do that, you know, more es first with

925
00:49:37,000 --> 00:49:39,960
Speaker 1: Dak and get him out there and and you know,

926
00:49:40,040 --> 00:49:42,919
Speaker 1: having practice the fact that he can throw the ball

927
00:49:42,920 --> 00:49:44,759
Speaker 1: in the run. He's always been pretty good at that.

928
00:49:44,920 --> 00:49:46,920
Speaker 1: But you know, that's just something that I think that

929
00:49:46,960 --> 00:49:49,640
Speaker 1: they're working on. You know, you know, I'll go back

930
00:49:49,640 --> 00:49:51,400
Speaker 1: to what Cheeto said earlier in the week in his

931
00:49:51,520 --> 00:49:53,680
Speaker 1: time with the media and talking about how the defense

932
00:49:54,160 --> 00:49:57,560
Speaker 1: um is a lot more um, a lot more dynamic

933
00:49:57,640 --> 00:50:00,279
Speaker 1: this year. They are. They're giving a lot more looks

934
00:50:00,000 --> 00:50:03,359
Speaker 1: pre snap and disguising a lot more things. And that's

935
00:50:03,400 --> 00:50:05,840
Speaker 1: something again he talked about as far as how he

936
00:50:05,960 --> 00:50:07,759
Speaker 1: likes the fact that they're doing that a little bit

937
00:50:07,800 --> 00:50:10,239
Speaker 1: more and not relying so much on just hey we

938
00:50:10,280 --> 00:50:13,120
Speaker 1: got better players. They're actually giving their guys a chance

939
00:50:13,120 --> 00:50:16,480
Speaker 1: by giving them some some schematic help, and so that's

940
00:50:16,520 --> 00:50:18,880
Speaker 1: something else. I think that that, at least from the

941
00:50:18,960 --> 00:50:21,719
Speaker 1: way he describes it, can be a really big boon

942
00:50:21,800 --> 00:50:24,160
Speaker 1: for this team and really maybe help them. I've always

943
00:50:24,200 --> 00:50:26,239
Speaker 1: been a big proponent of the fact that I think

944
00:50:26,520 --> 00:50:29,160
Speaker 1: teams should rely more on scheme than just saying, hey,

945
00:50:29,160 --> 00:50:30,799
Speaker 1: we're gonna line up the way we line up and

946
00:50:30,840 --> 00:50:33,440
Speaker 1: make you adjust to us. Because what happens when you

947
00:50:33,440 --> 00:50:36,080
Speaker 1: find a team that really is legitimately better and then

948
00:50:36,120 --> 00:50:38,000
Speaker 1: that's and we saw that last year. I think that's

949
00:50:38,040 --> 00:50:40,960
Speaker 1: part of the reasons why Cowboys didn't play great as

950
00:50:40,960 --> 00:50:43,400
Speaker 1: far as their win loss record against really good teams

951
00:50:43,480 --> 00:50:45,960
Speaker 1: last year because they didn't really give their guys a

952
00:50:46,000 --> 00:50:48,879
Speaker 1: ton of help when it comes to scheming up how

953
00:50:48,920 --> 00:50:51,920
Speaker 1: they play and disguising certain things and throwing, you know,

954
00:50:52,080 --> 00:50:54,560
Speaker 1: different things at teams that they aren't really necessarily expected.

955
00:50:54,640 --> 00:50:56,640
Speaker 1: So I'm actually excited to see more of that as

956
00:50:56,640 --> 00:51:03,120
Speaker 1: a season gets here. Out of the undrafted players, who

957
00:51:03,200 --> 00:51:05,400
Speaker 1: would be a guy that you feel will make the

958
00:51:05,480 --> 00:51:09,400
Speaker 1: roster so far, I want to jump in here and

959
00:51:10,320 --> 00:51:13,520
Speaker 1: Nick and Nick and Derek more so Nick just because

960
00:51:13,560 --> 00:51:16,120
Speaker 1: you've seen more. But like, tell me if I'm crazy,

961
00:51:17,360 --> 00:51:20,200
Speaker 1: doesn't it seem to you like the down the line

962
00:51:20,239 --> 00:51:23,879
Speaker 1: guys are just not getting as many opportunities as we're

963
00:51:23,960 --> 00:51:28,879
Speaker 1: used to. Yeah, this is you can tell. You can

964
00:51:28,920 --> 00:51:31,600
Speaker 1: tell by the way the guys that they sign they

965
00:51:31,719 --> 00:51:34,640
Speaker 1: like veteran guys. You know, they they're they're trying to

966
00:51:34,680 --> 00:51:36,239
Speaker 1: throw you know, they don't want a bunch of young

967
00:51:36,280 --> 00:51:38,799
Speaker 1: guys learning on the run in week one. They want

968
00:51:38,840 --> 00:51:41,319
Speaker 1: some veteran players. But you're right, Dave, you don't see

969
00:51:41,320 --> 00:51:44,240
Speaker 1: a lot of those guys. Francis Bernard has been one

970
00:51:44,320 --> 00:51:47,200
Speaker 1: who's played a little bit. But I think we're just

971
00:51:47,239 --> 00:51:49,480
Speaker 1: saying that because he's made the most of the opportunities.

972
00:51:49,520 --> 00:51:52,799
Speaker 1: I don't think he's jumping in with you know, with

973
00:51:52,880 --> 00:51:55,759
Speaker 1: first team reps or anything like that. No. I mean,

974
00:51:56,120 --> 00:51:58,719
Speaker 1: and I don't know this for sure, but my impression

975
00:51:58,800 --> 00:52:01,840
Speaker 1: from watching these first few practices. Remember we've said it already,

976
00:52:02,040 --> 00:52:05,080
Speaker 1: they didn't have an off season. There's no OTAs and

977
00:52:05,120 --> 00:52:08,000
Speaker 1: no mini camps, so that's fifteen practices that you typically

978
00:52:08,080 --> 00:52:12,279
Speaker 1: used to install everything. They're doing that right now. They

979
00:52:12,280 --> 00:52:14,640
Speaker 1: are I mean, I know they had their virtual sessions,

980
00:52:14,640 --> 00:52:18,040
Speaker 1: but they are installing on the field for the first time.

981
00:52:18,120 --> 00:52:21,480
Speaker 1: And I think my perception is that the coaches really

982
00:52:21,520 --> 00:52:24,040
Speaker 1: want to make sure that the top of the line

983
00:52:24,080 --> 00:52:26,000
Speaker 1: guys that are going to be playing in the season

984
00:52:26,760 --> 00:52:30,120
Speaker 1: know their stuff because they are getting so much more

985
00:52:30,120 --> 00:52:32,560
Speaker 1: opportunity than the down the line guys. There's just the

986
00:52:32,640 --> 00:52:34,840
Speaker 1: seasons already. I mean, shoot, it's like two and a

987
00:52:34,880 --> 00:52:38,120
Speaker 1: half weeks away. They don't have time to be seeing

988
00:52:38,160 --> 00:52:41,120
Speaker 1: what they have in Rondell Carter. They need to get

989
00:52:41,160 --> 00:52:44,160
Speaker 1: the big names out there learning their stuff. So to

990
00:52:44,200 --> 00:52:46,480
Speaker 1: that point, I mean, it would be Francis Bernard for me,

991
00:52:46,920 --> 00:52:51,200
Speaker 1: just because he's made the most of those opportunities. I

992
00:52:51,440 --> 00:52:54,640
Speaker 1: struggle to think of any other like undrafted guys that

993
00:52:54,680 --> 00:52:56,800
Speaker 1: have really gotten a chance to do a lot of stuff.

994
00:52:56,840 --> 00:52:59,919
Speaker 1: To be honest with you, forty two gets the ball

995
00:53:00,040 --> 00:53:03,319
Speaker 1: a lot. Is that Rico? Maybe I don't know how

996
00:53:03,320 --> 00:53:08,280
Speaker 1: to say his name, but Rico double Dabble from South Carolina.

997
00:53:08,400 --> 00:53:10,120
Speaker 1: He gets the ball a lot, and he's not doing

998
00:53:10,160 --> 00:53:11,840
Speaker 1: a whole lot with it. I don't you know. But

999
00:53:11,840 --> 00:53:14,920
Speaker 1: but you know, to your point, day what they've had

1000
00:53:14,960 --> 00:53:17,880
Speaker 1: four practices so far. I mean, I think they've had four.

1001
00:53:18,400 --> 00:53:20,880
Speaker 1: When you go back to the two weeks after the draft,

1002
00:53:20,920 --> 00:53:22,840
Speaker 1: there used to be one week after the draft the

1003
00:53:22,920 --> 00:53:26,200
Speaker 1: rookie rookie free agents get. I mean all the rookies

1004
00:53:26,200 --> 00:53:28,520
Speaker 1: get a mini camp of three days. You know, that's

1005
00:53:28,560 --> 00:53:31,200
Speaker 1: just by themselves, rookie mini camps, so they get free

1006
00:53:31,239 --> 00:53:33,560
Speaker 1: practices under their belt. Here we are in the middle

1007
00:53:33,560 --> 00:53:36,759
Speaker 1: of August and there are they're sitting at four right now,

1008
00:53:36,880 --> 00:53:40,279
Speaker 1: so you know they should have had way, way more

1009
00:53:40,320 --> 00:53:42,719
Speaker 1: time than this. So yeah, it makes sense that you

1010
00:53:42,760 --> 00:53:45,160
Speaker 1: know they're not going to get it in two or

1011
00:53:45,200 --> 00:53:49,319
Speaker 1: three weeks. So I see the will, but that's it.

1012
00:53:50,280 --> 00:53:52,600
Speaker 1: You know, we can't have we can't have our eyes

1013
00:53:52,640 --> 00:53:55,200
Speaker 1: everywhere all the time. So there's a good chance that

1014
00:53:55,239 --> 00:53:58,680
Speaker 1: I've missed something. But I swear people have been blowing

1015
00:53:58,719 --> 00:54:01,239
Speaker 1: me up about Bradley and I and I understand why.

1016
00:54:01,400 --> 00:54:04,360
Speaker 1: You know, he's an exciting draft pick. I with my

1017
00:54:04,440 --> 00:54:07,000
Speaker 1: own eyes have not seen him take a pass rush

1018
00:54:07,080 --> 00:54:11,000
Speaker 1: snap in a eleven on eleven setting. I'm sure he

1019
00:54:11,080 --> 00:54:14,240
Speaker 1: has done it once or twice, but he ain't getting

1020
00:54:14,280 --> 00:54:17,160
Speaker 1: in there a lot because they're deferring to the veterans

1021
00:54:17,200 --> 00:54:18,919
Speaker 1: to try to get them up to speed. At least

1022
00:54:18,920 --> 00:54:21,880
Speaker 1: that's what it looks like to me. And Reggie Robinson

1023
00:54:21,880 --> 00:54:25,480
Speaker 1: is something good good, I said. Reggie Robinson got a

1024
00:54:25,480 --> 00:54:28,239
Speaker 1: few snaps and we noticed it because he was getting beat,

1025
00:54:28,760 --> 00:54:31,480
Speaker 1: you know, like down the field. So you know, I mean,

1026
00:54:32,120 --> 00:54:34,000
Speaker 1: you know, we got asked about it on a mail bag,

1027
00:54:34,040 --> 00:54:36,640
Speaker 1: like where's Rekie Robinson And it's like, well, you know,

1028
00:54:36,640 --> 00:54:38,680
Speaker 1: he's just he's just trying to learn it. It's like, well,

1029
00:54:38,719 --> 00:54:40,319
Speaker 1: there he is. I don't know if that's a good thing,

1030
00:54:40,360 --> 00:54:42,399
Speaker 1: but you know it means that. It's just it's these

1031
00:54:42,440 --> 00:54:45,520
Speaker 1: guys heads are spinning right now, you know it. And frankly,

1032
00:54:45,560 --> 00:54:47,640
Speaker 1: this has been talked about around the league. I think

1033
00:54:47,680 --> 00:54:49,920
Speaker 1: every team is looking at the same thing and saying,

1034
00:54:50,239 --> 00:54:52,919
Speaker 1: you know, it's it's gonna be very difficult to get

1035
00:54:53,040 --> 00:54:56,920
Speaker 1: time or to allocate time for rookies, let alone rookie

1036
00:54:56,960 --> 00:54:59,799
Speaker 1: free agents, for them to really be able to work

1037
00:55:00,040 --> 00:55:02,480
Speaker 1: in and figure out what's going on and get up

1038
00:55:02,480 --> 00:55:04,319
Speaker 1: to speed enough to be able to play week one.

1039
00:55:04,360 --> 00:55:07,439
Speaker 1: When you have a condensed training camp, no offseason, it's

1040
00:55:07,440 --> 00:55:09,880
Speaker 1: just it's it's almost impossible. And so it is a

1041
00:55:09,960 --> 00:55:11,840
Speaker 1: year when veterans are actually going to be at a

1042
00:55:11,840 --> 00:55:14,560
Speaker 1: premium and I'm I'm interested to see what happens here

1043
00:55:14,560 --> 00:55:16,719
Speaker 1: when teams have to cut. Are there going to be

1044
00:55:16,760 --> 00:55:19,480
Speaker 1: some draft picks that normally would not get cut that

1045
00:55:19,560 --> 00:55:21,439
Speaker 1: teams feel like they got a part ways with because

1046
00:55:21,440 --> 00:55:23,160
Speaker 1: they just didn't see them, and they gotta keep some

1047
00:55:23,200 --> 00:55:24,759
Speaker 1: of those veterans. I want to see how this all

1048
00:55:24,800 --> 00:55:26,719
Speaker 1: plays out, because I do think veterans are in a

1049
00:55:26,840 --> 00:55:31,160
Speaker 1: very very precarious situation, which again that plays into why

1050
00:55:31,239 --> 00:55:34,680
Speaker 1: somebody like Mike McCarthy doesn't want us videoing and tweeting

1051
00:55:34,680 --> 00:55:37,759
Speaker 1: about his team because odds are he's not going to

1052
00:55:37,840 --> 00:55:39,879
Speaker 1: have a great idea of what he's letting go of

1053
00:55:39,880 --> 00:55:44,120
Speaker 1: when it comes time to cut the roster down. Ye,

1054
00:55:44,280 --> 00:55:47,760
Speaker 1: it's gonna be tough. But at position that we haven't

1055
00:55:47,760 --> 00:55:51,040
Speaker 1: really talked about, but we've learned that is very very

1056
00:55:51,080 --> 00:55:55,600
Speaker 1: important on the team is kicker. How has the kicker

1057
00:55:55,719 --> 00:56:03,200
Speaker 1: been doing so far? He's perfect, He's perfect, but that's

1058
00:56:03,200 --> 00:56:07,200
Speaker 1: he's only he's kicked one time. It's the differences, you know,

1059
00:56:07,239 --> 00:56:09,160
Speaker 1: we're still getting used to it, but like you can

1060
00:56:09,200 --> 00:56:11,760
Speaker 1: tell the differences in the way that these coaching staffs

1061
00:56:11,760 --> 00:56:15,320
Speaker 1: do stuff, you know, special teams under Under McCarthy and

1062
00:56:15,400 --> 00:56:19,240
Speaker 1: John Fossil, it dominates. It's like the first thirty minutes

1063
00:56:19,239 --> 00:56:22,120
Speaker 1: in practices, all special teams work, but that's you know,

1064
00:56:22,200 --> 00:56:26,839
Speaker 1: that's blocking and assignments and stuff like that. Greg Zerline

1065
00:56:26,880 --> 00:56:29,840
Speaker 1: has only kicked field goals one time in four practices

1066
00:56:30,080 --> 00:56:33,160
Speaker 1: and I think a long was forty three, so they're

1067
00:56:33,160 --> 00:56:35,840
Speaker 1: not even asking him to do super long range stuff.

1068
00:56:35,880 --> 00:56:38,680
Speaker 1: So he looks all right to me. They haven't done

1069
00:56:38,680 --> 00:56:41,560
Speaker 1: a lot with him. But and let's be clear that

1070
00:56:41,560 --> 00:56:43,719
Speaker 1: that means that may only be the kicks that he's

1071
00:56:43,760 --> 00:56:45,960
Speaker 1: doing in front of us. There are other fields, so

1072
00:56:46,000 --> 00:56:48,480
Speaker 1: he could be working, like if the team is working indoors,

1073
00:56:48,480 --> 00:56:50,440
Speaker 1: he could be working outside kicking. I don't want to

1074
00:56:50,600 --> 00:56:52,400
Speaker 1: trans to get the idea that he's sitting on his

1075
00:56:52,640 --> 00:56:54,560
Speaker 1: just kind of sitting in the locker room doing nothing.

1076
00:56:54,760 --> 00:56:56,560
Speaker 1: I think I think he's probably kicking. It's just in

1077
00:56:56,600 --> 00:57:02,240
Speaker 1: different location than when the media is right. Okay. Thoughts

1078
00:57:02,360 --> 00:57:05,600
Speaker 1: on Drew Peterson. We haven't really talked about him, but

1079
00:57:05,760 --> 00:57:10,360
Speaker 1: he's a guy in some big news yesterday. Thoughts on

1080
00:57:10,920 --> 00:57:16,360
Speaker 1: him getting a step closer to Canton. I'll take this one.

1081
00:57:16,400 --> 00:57:20,080
Speaker 1: I'm really excited about it. I know that doesn't necessarily

1082
00:57:20,120 --> 00:57:22,880
Speaker 1: mean he's in, but I think the writing's on the

1083
00:57:22,920 --> 00:57:28,320
Speaker 1: wall there that with him being the only senior addition

1084
00:57:28,400 --> 00:57:31,600
Speaker 1: there for the from the Seniors committee, I think it's

1085
00:57:31,640 --> 00:57:34,000
Speaker 1: going to happen. I don't usually at this point that

1086
00:57:34,080 --> 00:57:38,040
Speaker 1: they don't not get in. So you know, yes, everyone

1087
00:57:38,080 --> 00:57:41,080
Speaker 1: remembers that the video and he was upset and rightfully so.

1088
00:57:41,200 --> 00:57:44,560
Speaker 1: I mean, he deserves it. And I'll say this. Everyone

1089
00:57:44,600 --> 00:57:46,920
Speaker 1: can have their own opinion. I've said this thousand times.

1090
00:57:46,920 --> 00:57:49,160
Speaker 1: I'll say it again, though, when you think about the

1091
00:57:49,240 --> 00:57:52,360
Speaker 1: history of the Dallas Cowboys and the memorable moments, we

1092
00:57:52,720 --> 00:57:56,800
Speaker 1: memorable games, Hail Mary, the Clint Longley game, even Dorsets

1093
00:57:56,920 --> 00:57:59,800
Speaker 1: ninety nine yard run, the you know game against the

1094
00:58:00,000 --> 00:58:02,360
Speaker 1: Alkins in the playoffs when Danny White came back. Drew

1095
00:58:02,480 --> 00:58:04,840
Speaker 1: Chris is in there for all of it. He is

1096
00:58:04,920 --> 00:58:08,600
Speaker 1: the history of this team. He's he started number eighty eight,

1097
00:58:09,360 --> 00:58:12,240
Speaker 1: and he's the only offensive player that in the decade

1098
00:58:12,240 --> 00:58:14,960
Speaker 1: of the nineteen seventies All decade team not in the

1099
00:58:14,960 --> 00:58:18,320
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame. Long overdue. It needs to happen, and

1100
00:58:18,320 --> 00:58:21,560
Speaker 1: it sounds like it will. Yeah, No video last year

1101
00:58:21,640 --> 00:58:25,480
Speaker 1: was heartbreaking, and I honestly, I just I just want

1102
00:58:25,480 --> 00:58:28,080
Speaker 1: to see the right thing be done here. Like you said, Nick,

1103
00:58:28,160 --> 00:58:30,760
Speaker 1: I think he certainly is deserving and uh, And I

1104
00:58:30,800 --> 00:58:33,680
Speaker 1: think he had every expectation that last year, with the

1105
00:58:33,720 --> 00:58:35,640
Speaker 1: increased number of guys that were going to be going

1106
00:58:35,680 --> 00:58:39,400
Speaker 1: in celebrate the NFL anniversary. I think he rightfully thought

1107
00:58:39,400 --> 00:58:41,240
Speaker 1: he would be a part of that and he wasn't.

1108
00:58:41,360 --> 00:58:43,760
Speaker 1: And I just I hated that for him. I hated

1109
00:58:43,760 --> 00:58:45,560
Speaker 1: to see him go through that. I think the NFL

1110
00:58:45,640 --> 00:58:47,080
Speaker 1: needs to do right by him, and he think he

1111
00:58:47,120 --> 00:58:48,640
Speaker 1: needs to be in the in the Hall of Fame.

1112
00:58:49,240 --> 00:58:51,880
Speaker 1: It's weird to say, but I kind of think the

1113
00:58:52,000 --> 00:58:55,400
Speaker 1: video might be why this happened. Honestly, um, you know,

1114
00:58:55,560 --> 00:58:58,200
Speaker 1: it kind of went it kind of went viral at least,

1115
00:58:58,240 --> 00:59:01,320
Speaker 1: you know, among NFL fans and media, and I think

1116
00:59:01,640 --> 00:59:03,680
Speaker 1: a lot of people saw that. You know, not everybody

1117
00:59:03,680 --> 00:59:05,840
Speaker 1: pays as close attention to the Cowboys as we do.

1118
00:59:06,160 --> 00:59:08,280
Speaker 1: I think a lot of people were like, wait a second,

1119
00:59:08,480 --> 00:59:11,040
Speaker 1: Drew Pearson's not in the Hall of Fame, Like, are

1120
00:59:11,080 --> 00:59:14,600
Speaker 1: we serious right now? And I think that probably gave

1121
00:59:14,680 --> 00:59:17,400
Speaker 1: him a groundswell of support that maybe he didn't have before. So,

1122
00:59:17,440 --> 00:59:19,240
Speaker 1: I mean, I hate it for him. It sucks that

1123
00:59:19,240 --> 00:59:21,600
Speaker 1: that had to happen, But in a weird way, I

1124
00:59:21,640 --> 00:59:23,840
Speaker 1: think that video kind of maybe put this on the map.

1125
00:59:25,200 --> 00:59:27,920
Speaker 1: You know, you guys remember a linebacker that played with

1126
00:59:27,960 --> 00:59:30,360
Speaker 1: Florence Taylor's name was Harry Carson. He played for the

1127
00:59:30,360 --> 00:59:32,640
Speaker 1: Giants for a long time. He was a finalist in

1128
00:59:32,760 --> 00:59:35,320
Speaker 1: the Like in the Final fifteen eight years in a

1129
00:59:35,440 --> 00:59:38,440
Speaker 1: row and didn't make it, and he said, do not

1130
00:59:38,600 --> 00:59:41,360
Speaker 1: put my name in here again. I'm removing my name.

1131
00:59:41,640 --> 00:59:44,640
Speaker 1: I'm out. It just is not happening. He got in

1132
00:59:44,720 --> 00:59:47,720
Speaker 1: next year, That next year he got in. So I

1133
00:59:47,760 --> 00:59:53,720
Speaker 1: don't know, maybe that just has to happen sometimes people. Yeah,

1134
00:59:53,800 --> 00:59:56,440
Speaker 1: I know, sometimes z are probably extenuating circumstances. None of

1135
00:59:56,480 --> 00:59:58,240
Speaker 1: us is in the room when they're making those decisions.

1136
00:59:58,320 --> 00:59:59,800
Speaker 1: I don't want to I don't want to kill those

1137
00:59:59,800 --> 01:00:02,280
Speaker 1: guys too much, but I just think this at this rate,

1138
01:00:02,440 --> 01:00:03,959
Speaker 1: Like you said, Nick, if you want to talk about

1139
01:00:03,960 --> 01:00:06,080
Speaker 1: the history of the Dallas Cowboys, and the Cowboys are

1140
01:00:06,080 --> 01:00:10,000
Speaker 1: a very history franchise, franchise that is probably one of

1141
01:00:10,040 --> 01:00:11,920
Speaker 1: the most in the NFL, one of the most story

1142
01:00:11,920 --> 01:00:14,600
Speaker 1: franchise in NFL, and so many of those stories have

1143
01:00:14,720 --> 01:00:17,360
Speaker 1: Drew Pearson being a part of them. There's no reason.

1144
01:00:17,440 --> 01:00:19,480
Speaker 1: Like you hear that that phrase all the time. Can

1145
01:00:19,520 --> 01:00:22,720
Speaker 1: you tell the story of whatever without whoever? Well, I

1146
01:00:22,720 --> 01:00:24,200
Speaker 1: don't think you can tell the story of the Dallas

1147
01:00:24,200 --> 01:00:26,360
Speaker 1: Cowboys without Drew Pearson being a part of it, which

1148
01:00:26,400 --> 01:00:28,920
Speaker 1: means and he has the production on top of that,

1149
01:00:28,960 --> 01:00:31,000
Speaker 1: I think he needs to be in the Hall of fame. Yeah,

1150
01:00:31,040 --> 01:00:33,680
Speaker 1: and you can't just look at numbers because the numbers,

1151
01:00:33,680 --> 01:00:35,640
Speaker 1: like when the guys in the seventies, the way the

1152
01:00:35,640 --> 01:00:38,880
Speaker 1: passing game was four teen game schedules, it's not the same.

1153
01:00:39,480 --> 01:00:44,320
Speaker 1: Keenan McCardell has more sacks than Drew Pearson. It's not

1154
01:00:44,400 --> 01:00:47,520
Speaker 1: the way it is. It's just how he meant, what

1155
01:00:47,640 --> 01:00:50,640
Speaker 1: he meant to the team, the organization, and that success

1156
01:00:50,680 --> 01:00:53,200
Speaker 1: he's definitely deserving. So it looks like it's going to happen.

1157
01:00:53,960 --> 01:00:56,120
Speaker 1: All right. We'll appreciate you guys joining us. Thanks Amber
