• 0:35
  Speaker 1: quick show like always here, I need your help, like
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: always Cowboys text line at eight one seven two nine
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: zero three two nine eight. Already have a lot of
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: texts already in here from the last show and I
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: was on a Cowboys break but right now also phone line.
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: That's that's the one I really want more than anything.
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: Eight eight eight eight five five two two nine seven.
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: I love to talk to you guys, go back and
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: forth a little bit, and uh, just see what you
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: guys have to say. Like I've said all along, this
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: will be a fans show. I just want to I
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: want to hear from you and in some form or fashion,
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: whether it be tweets or texts or the calls as
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: we always do. Let's go through some storylines, and the
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: big one here since our last show was was Sam
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: Williams and trying to see exactly what's going to happen
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: with him with his arrest the other day. I thought
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: Jerry Jones, Uh, he says he wasn't going to speak
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: about since it's a legal matter, and then he did
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: and then he talked a little bit about it. But
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: more than anything, what what the fans really want to
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: know is, you know, whether you're getting fined whatever is
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: are you going to play? Are you going to miss time?
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: And then that that's the key. And Jerry said he
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: did have all the facts and he said that he
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: did not anticipate him being affected on the field. So
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: and you know, if if it does happen, it's probably
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: not going to be anytime soon. We were just chatting
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: about it just a second ago. I mean, Kelvin Joseph,
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: we all know what happened with him off the field
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: two off seasons ago and never missed any time and
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: that was a lot worse obviously than what what it
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: is with Sam Williams. So, uh, the NFL kind of
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't say takes their time, but but you know,
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: they they have to be thorough in in their investigation
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: of everything. And uh, we'll see, we'll see what what
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: happens if Sam does miss any any time or suspended
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: or any kind of disciplinary action. But as it stands
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: right now, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones does not think that
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: there's going to be any time missed on the field
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: for Sam Williams. Uh Me personally, I've been asked about
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: it a little bit. I you know, he's a guy
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: you want to root for. He's obviously had some some
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: issues in his in his past and and just just
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: his his upbringing. And I hear he is second year
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: in the league. He's got some money. You know, he's
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: got got fast cars, He's got all that stuff. He's
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: not This is not new, this is this is what happens.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: This is what players either that they get this moment
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: in their career and they got to figure out how
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: to have balance, uh, in his life. I think the
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: Cowboys are surrounding him with a really good support system.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: They're going to continue to work with him and and
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: and yes this does matter. He is a really good
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: football player and he's got a good upside, which is
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: why you deal with with the things you deal with
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: one of the greatest players in the history of the Cowboys,
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: Michael Irvin. He had things off the field that's been
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: well documented. He was the hardest worker on the field.
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: He was one of the best players in the league.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: And whether it's right or wrong, this is what happens.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: And you and you put up with a little bit
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: more things for guys that are good players, that that
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: you think they can kind of turn the corner. And
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: I know the Cowboys feel that way about Sam Williams again,
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: phone line one eight eight eight five five two two
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: nine seven. I want to hear from you. Guys. Got
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: a lot of texts in here. We'll go to the
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: text line here pretty soon. That's pretty much it for
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: the storylines. But obviously there's a game this week Cowboys
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: and play the Raiders. That last Vegas Raiders just doesn't
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: sound right. Maybe it doesn't sound because we haven't been there.
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: We haven't played a game in Vegas yet. I'm not
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: sure that that would be a fun trip or not
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: to go to Vegas. And I say that just because
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: you know, you don't play by the same rules when
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: you go to an NFL event and go to Vegas
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: as just three buddies might go or you know, it's
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: not like the Hangover four or anything like that going
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: into Vegas. But the game's gonna be here, gonna be
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: fun to see. Just one more, one more preseason game,
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: get it out of the way. But but there are
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: some some guys out there that this is big for them.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: I will never You'll never hear me say this is
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: a meaningless game. I don't do that. There's too many
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: moments in the history of the Cowboys where preseason games
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: really do affect certain careers, and I, you know, I
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: think that it's fun to watch. I mean, Cavante Turpin
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: is another example of that, a guy that last year
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: trying to make the team and then has an unbelievable
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: first half against the Chargers with two kick kick returning
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: part return touchdown, takes the pads off and became a
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: Pro bowler and All Pro that night. So preseason can
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: matter individually for certain guys. All right, we're gonna go
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: to the phone line. We do have our first call.
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: Joe in Pennsylvania. Joe, what's going on? Man?
• 5:38
  Speaker 5: Hey Mack, how you doing.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: I'm doing great? How about you?
• 5:41
  Speaker 6: Good?
• 5:42
  Speaker 5: I got a question about LVE I know a lot
• 5:45
  Speaker 5: of people have been saying he played well last year.
• 5:48
  Speaker 5: I watched all those games last year, and it seems
• 5:52
  Speaker 5: like he doesn't get off blocks well. He doesn't have
• 5:56
  Speaker 5: the speed or instincts to make a play. I looked
• 6:01
  Speaker 5: at the stats. Doesn't have many solo tackles compared to
• 6:04
  Speaker 5: other linebackers. Are you seeing the same thing or am
• 6:07
  Speaker 5: my way off?
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: I appreciate the call, I don't want I mean, your
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: your opinion is your opinion. You know, I don't way off.
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: That's you know, that's kind of how how how you
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: see it. I I don't think you're I don't think
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: you're you're I don't agree. I don't I really agree
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: with that. I thought he played well last year. A
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: lot of times we compare it to something else, So
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: you're comparing it to other linebackers in the league, which
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: is fair because that's that's how you get judged. Me personally,
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: Maybe I'm guilty of comparing Lighton to the last couple
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: of years. Some people want to compare it to his
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: first year when he was you know, All Pro, actually
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: second team All Pro, and a Pro bowler. So you know,
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: we're all guilty of that. We we we look at
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: seventh round picks and think that they're doing better than
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: a second rounder, even though they're probably not. Just our
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: expectations are different for Layton, for a guy that's had
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: some neck injury issues and to come back and to
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: play the way he did. Had one hundred tackles, obviously
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: not all solo, but but I thought he was active.
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: I thought he played pretty well. That doesn't matter about
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: last year. What matters is this year, and I like
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: what we're seeing from him. I mean, we we pulled
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: every writer on our team, on our staff to come
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: up with a top ten training camp performers. I think
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: he was like sixth or seventh on the list. Not
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: easy to do for a linebacker because you're not tackling,
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: you're not hitting. But it's about awareness, it's about finding
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: where you're supposed to be. They're also going to use
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: him a little bit more in some pass rushing role
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: this year, which will help maybe with stats, pressure, sacks,
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: all that good stuff. I think he's he's playing well.
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: I think he's kind of coming back from this injury
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: that he's had, and I think he's going to have
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: a good year. So something to watch though, I mean
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: you're not. I'm not going to say you're you're wrong
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: with that, but I do think that I'm a little
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: bit more encouraged by what we see out of him
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: at the linebacker spot. All right, phone lines are open still,
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: we want I want to get some more. Let's go
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: to some text line questions here. I like going to
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: the running back spot. Uh, Ronald Jones versus a guy
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: like Leonard Fournette. Who's who's out there? What's going to
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: happen at the backup spot? And and and Uh this
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: question was from an eight oh four area code. No name.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: If you're texting, try to put your name at the bottom. Name.
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: You don't have to put full name, but just name,
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: and and and where you're from. Uh. We would love
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: to include that here. So, but for this question, Fournette
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: versus Ronald Jonan, Fournette's obviously one of the free agent
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: running backs that are out there. This is where I think,
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: and I've said this before, where I think backup running
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: back is tricky because of Deuce Vaughan. Maybe Deuce is
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: going to be the backup, but even if he's not,
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: Deuce is not going to be a have a huge
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: role on special teams, so somebody at running back needs
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: to So if you're gonna bring in a fur net,
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: if you're gonna even keep Ronald Jones, you need some
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: production from the running back spot on special teams. That's
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: why I think Rico Daddle is a good backup to
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: have because he can play it. He'll also get some
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: carries as well. I'm liking more from what I'm seeing
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: out of Rico Daddles. So to answer this question about backups,
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: Ronald Jones will be moved to a suspension list next
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: week when the rosters is down to fifty three. It's
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: not just cutting not eighty or ninety, sorry, ninety players
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: to fifty three. That's what thirty seven players. It's not
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: just gonna be thirty seven cuts. There will be some
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: guys that go to IR, guys that move, maybe revert
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: to POP, guys go to the suspension list. All that.
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: Ronald Jones you don't have to do anything with. He
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: just stays there for two weeks, he comes back. I
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: think that the running backs are probably on the roster
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: right now, at least for a couple of weeks. I
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: just don't see the value in adding that guy right
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: now or any any free agent. I mean, it's tricky.
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: I do want more more juice there at the running
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: back position. But I'm starting to feel better about Rico
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: and I think he's gonna be the guy. I like
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: what I saw from him the other night. I thought
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: he has a really good combination of quickness, burst, acceleration,
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: all that stuff with some power. That's what you want
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: of a running back. And if you can play special teams,
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: sign them up. All right, let's go back to the
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: phone line. We've got a call from Chris in which
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: it's all falls, what's.
• 10:46
  Speaker 7: Up, man, what's going on?
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: MSU go, MSU? That's right, proud, proud, alum. I am.
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: I don't know are you. I don't know if you are,
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: but I certainly am Midwestern States where it all started
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: for me.
• 10:58
  Speaker 7: Absolutely, brother. They just wanted to ask you about Brandon Aubert.
• 11:03
  Speaker 7: Do you think he'll get some a little more opportunities
• 11:06
  Speaker 7: in this last preseason game if they're within range? Do
• 11:09
  Speaker 7: you think the coaching staff gives him this chance to
• 11:13
  Speaker 7: put points on the board or see what he can do.
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: I appreciate the call, and I know that I don't
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: I don't have to ask you if it's hot up there,
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: because I know that it is. I know that it is.
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: It's hot everywhere. It's not everywhere, but man, which has
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: got different kind of heat for sure.
• 11:30
  Speaker 7: A lot of stuff going on up here tonight. I
• 11:32
  Speaker 7: mean Hotter and Hell old high Rider.
• 11:36
  Speaker 6: Insane.
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: Okay, Well, we appreciate the call. Not very many people
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: probably know exactly what he's talking about. He's talking about cycling,
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: a cycling race called Hotter in Hell and two rival
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: schools that are playing against each other. And there's some
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: weird dynamics going on with high school football up there.
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: They're changing the schools and don't I don't even know
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: what's going on there, but obviously this is gonna be
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: a fun stuff. But appreciate the call. Kicker Brandon Aubrey,
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: I want there to be some competenty. I mean I
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: want there. He needs some reps, There's no doubt about it.
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: He definitely needs reps more important than playing in the game.
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: And I said this on the break. If you were
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: listening to the break, I'm like, I'm not worried about
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: trying to get a fourth, fourth and six down by
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: the goal line, or or or even you know that
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: at the thirty five yard line. The if you're in
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: the second half of this game coming up, none of
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: these guys are probably going to be on the team.
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: That's just that's simple. But Brandon Aubrey, you want to
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: be on the team. He's the one starter that will
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: you will trot out there, So why not give him
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: the reps? What is it more important for Will Greer
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: to find Ontario Drummond over the middle for a first
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: down so Hunter Lipke can run the ball behind Alec
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: Limstrom so we can see and evaluate that, Or is
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: it more important for a field goal by Aubrey for
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: forty seven yards or whatever. To me, that's more important
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: if you're really trying to evaluate them. That is more
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: important than these guys playing second half, even second quarter on.
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: Because the guys that are going to be on the
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: field on against the Giants week one, they got the
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: pads off, they got a ball cap, sunflower seeds, all that,
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: but Brandon Aubrey does not, and so I think you
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: have a great opportunity to show what he can do.
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: All right, got a couple of calls in there, got
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: some text lines. We're halfway through the show. We're flying
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: by as always, We're going to take our first break
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: here on Cowboy storyline. When we come back, we're gona
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: get more calls and more texts.

• 15:36
  Speaker 1: Back to Cowboys storylines. Second half of the Cowboys storyline.
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: Here we are rolling through and we got more text
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: line questions coming in and some phone calls. We're gonna
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: go to the phone line right now. We have Bob
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: from Nashville. Bob, what's up?
• 15:57
  Speaker 6: Hey? How you doing?
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: I'm doing good man, How are you good?
• 16:00
  Speaker 6: Hey? I text you earlier and then I forgot to
• 16:02
  Speaker 6: put my name down. But anyways, that's my fault. So
• 16:06
  Speaker 6: I know. Early in the year or spring training and stuff,
• 16:10
  Speaker 6: McCarthy talked about changing up the pass blocking schemes and
• 16:16
  Speaker 6: our concerns with the offensive line. I'm concerned about changing
• 16:18
  Speaker 6: up schemes. Have you seen an improvement in the past
• 16:22
  Speaker 6: blocking schemes? And if so, I don't even know changing
• 16:28
  Speaker 6: up schemes. Me and I just thought the line blocks,
• 16:31
  Speaker 6: the backers pick up blitzers, and that's the way it goes,
• 16:34
  Speaker 6: but the scheme seems to be different, and that's what
• 16:36
  Speaker 6: he's saying. But how do you think that's working? And
• 16:40
  Speaker 6: if it's going to work for Dak because we need
• 16:41
  Speaker 6: to protect him, there's no.
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: Doubt about that. Who need to protect him. I appreciate
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: the call, Bob. Has it worked all the time? I mean, no,
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: it doesn't. And number eleven is the reason for that.
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: And number ninety, let's not forgot. Tank Lawrence is still
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: He's had a really good training camp as well. But
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: but no, I mean Michael Parsons messes up everything. And
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: another thing too, is the continuity on the offensive line
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: has not been there as much tire and they're not
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: gonna give every rep. Zach Martin held out most of camp.
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: Terrence Steel he's working back from the ACL injury, so
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: they're slowly moving, you know, these guys back into it
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: and want to see all these other guys. So they
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: really hadn't had a lot of continuity. We've seen it
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: more this last week or so. We've seen the projected
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: starting five out there together. As for the blocking scheme, yeah,
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: everybody's kind of every every team, every offensive line coach
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: kind of has a different type of scheme, and the
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: Cowboys have a new offensive line coach this year with
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: Mike Salari, who's been around for a while. I mean,
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: he's these older guy who's here actually on Tom Landry staff.
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: So that just goes to show what he's done and
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: how long he's been in the league. And he's got
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: a different scheme than what they've they've had before with
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: Joe Philbin or anybody else, you know, And to get
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: technical with it, I don't I don't think we need
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: to do that because I mean they don't come out
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: and just tell you what the scheme is, but just
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: little variations of how you attack certain guys. Sometimes it's
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: you know, the zone blocking ones with more blocking your
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: area whatever comes in there. Other ones are just more
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: pinpointing a guy and pointing him out and saying, that's
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: my guy. That's what the guard does. The tackle feels
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: here and that as opposed to laying back. And it
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: all changes with running plays, passing plays. So you know,
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: every every scheme is different and that's to be expected
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: with a new offensive line coach. So I don't think
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: it's anything alarming. The goal is always the same. It
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: was the same when Mike Clari was here in nineteen
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: eighty seven. It was to make sure Danny White was upright.
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: Same with every other offensive line coach. So, whoever the
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: quarterback is, you want him to be standing at the
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: end of the play, maybe with his hand up in
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: the air saying a great play. But the goal doesn't change.
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: It's just how they get there. It's a little bit different,
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: all right. Speaking of coaches coaches, We've got a question
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: here from a step On from Austin. He said, are
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: you're worried about Mike McCarthy as a play caller after
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: losing Kellen Moore? I actually like Schottenheimer in his interviews.
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: Do you think he's a bit more involved if things
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: go sideways. If things go sideways, yeah, you're always going
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: to change things up, and I think that Schottenheimer will
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: be involved. This is kind of unique from what we've
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: seen as far as the offensive coordinator in title, he
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: structures the offense and the game plan and all that.
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: As for the actual play calling, yeah, that goes to
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy on game day. I'm not really worried about it.
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: I think me personally, I think I'm going to like
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: the way McCarthy calls plays better than I like Kellen Moore,
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: and I really believe me personally, the way I would
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: think I would call a game. I would probably be
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: more conservative as a play caller because I think you
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: can run the ball as long as you can run
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: the football. I would probably do that a little bit
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: more than what you see, you know, in the New
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: Age offense and stuff like that. And I also think
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: as a play caller and the head coach, I think
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: he's going to be able to manage the game even
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: better than he did before. A good example the other
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: day against Seattle, they're driving down the field. I think
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: they got first and goal at the seven yard line.
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: I'm standing down there and I'm thinking, Okay, this is
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: great because this is what head coach knows exactly what
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: he wants to do. I don't want to kick a
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: field goal here, I want to score a touchdown. That's
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: what he's thinking. Okay, so that goes into your first
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: down call, your second out call. But I've never really
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: understood guys that have script, like we're gonna script these
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: plays and whatever what happens if they fumbled the kickoff
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: and you started the ball in the nine yard line.
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: I mean, obviously your post pattern on your first play
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: is not you know, not there, so it's hard to script,
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: it's hard to get ahead. I just like the fact
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: that the head coach is calling the plays can manage
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: the games. In fact, it's really not that uncommon. I
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: think more coach, more head coaches in the league are
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: doing it than than not. So not really worried about it.
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: Things go sideways, Like with any position, anything, any aspect,
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: you will change it up and you'll you'll you'll go
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: from there. All right, let's go from Oscar, Orange County, California.
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: Longtime listener says he wanted to ask us about Sam
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: Williams going to miss any playing time this year. We
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: talked about that earlier. I just wanted to bring it
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: back up again, uh for now in the back half
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: of the show. Here almost over, just in case you
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: you didn't join us right from the start, Sam Williams,
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: Jerry Jones is not anticipating any miss time from Sam Williams,
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: uh right now because of this incident. So that's that's
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: where it stands. I will replay this week probably you know,
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: you know, you're not trying to get any anybody hurt,
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: but you know he's he's the fourth or fifth pass rusher,
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: so I don't think he played long. If he does play,
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: I don't think he'll play very long. But because I
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: think one guy that really want to see is Isaiah Land,
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: rookie from Florida, A and M. I want to see
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: what he can do. I think he'll be He'll be
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: a player that they they they get in there quickly.
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: So Sam Williams, if he plays, I don't anticipate Dwan s.
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: Fowler doing a whole lot either. So you want to
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: get these pass rushers in here quickly. All right, Allan
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: from Clearwater, Florida, he says, what can you tell us
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: about junior focals camp in preseason games? That's another guy
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: that's going to play some here in defensive end. He
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: plays some tackle. H he's active. He sometimes as a
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: pass rusher, you can get too active. You can get
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: you can kind of get you know, up the field quickly,
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: and then the play happens behind you. You're not as
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: disciplined sometimes, and you know it's it's a it's an
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: adjustment for any any player from college to the pro.
• 22:57
  Speaker 4: Uh.
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: You know he played I think at San Jose State.
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: You know, he probably was able to rush the passer
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: and and and get away with some of the things
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: that he could do just because he can make up
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: for it with his instincts, with with his athletic ability,
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: and in the pros it's a little different, so you
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: do have to kind of stay a little bit more
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: discipline in what he's done. Think I think he just
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: needs reps if he get hurt during camp, missed some time,
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: he just needs to play. And I think the game
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: like this will be perfect for him. He's going to
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: make the team. It's a fourth round pick. They really
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: like his upside. He needs to play. Those guys that
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: are kind of raw, that they that you think they
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: can do some some things on the field. They need.
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: You know, the best way to play football is to
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: play football. And that's that's really as simple as that.
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: That's how you're going to get better at playing football
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: is to just go out there and actually play. And
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: I think it'll be good for him to do that.
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: All right, let's look at Reggie Reid question here. Would
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: you say that Mazi's defensive reps are fifty to fifty
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: both good and bad, and is it leaning more towards
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: one side I don't. I don't think it's no. I
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: would not say any nobody's reps are going to be
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: fifty to fifty. If it's fifty to fifty good and bad,
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: you won't be playing you. That's think about that. I mean,
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: think about like a left tackle that was giving up
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: is you can't you can't do that A bad game
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: for a left tackles When he gives up three sacks
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: in the game, well he also was past protecting for
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: you know, probably like sixty so you know, maybe not
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: that many, but but still, I mean he's blocking for
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: sixty seventies snaps. So no, I don't think it's fifty
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: fifty for Masie. I think he gives up a few
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: plays here and there and then again, and everything is
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: is is a you know, a video on Twitter or
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: you know it circled on the broadcast, and and then
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: it's just shown from you know, all all kind of
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: we have all kinds of analysts out there on Twitter
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: that love to film breakdowns and stuff like that, which
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: is great. But you know that's the thing about it, alignman.
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: You see the bad, and you see them really good.
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: But when he's sitting there and two guys block him
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: and they don't really move him, and someone else makes
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: a tackle for a two yard game. He's doing his job.
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: He's doing his job, and that's that's kind of what
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: you wanted to do. He's a first round pick and
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: people expected him to just be lights out, get up
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: the field, make all these plays and it's not happening.
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: And as soon as it doesn't happen, oh my god,
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: another first round pick from Michigan. He's the next tackle.
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: That's what people are thinking. Is it fair? Hell no,
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: it's not fair. The guy is I think he's going
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: to be a really good player. He's solid, he's learning
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: right now. He's not perfect. I don't think it's fifty
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: to fifty. I think he's doing a little bit a
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: lot more good than bad. People are kind of waiting
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: for the bad a little bit, and that's that's not fair.
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: But that's what happens with the first round pick. So
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: I think he'll be He'll be fine with that, all right.
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: Good question here from Paul from Vancouver. He said, what's
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: the gap between where over shown was pre injury to
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: Jabril Cox and why isn't Gabrill in consideration over Bell
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: for that spot? He says, I think I don't know
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: what he's saying here. I think so and so is
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: better than the typo here. We'll still's go with Belle
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: and Jabrill Cox. Paul from Vancouver thinks for the message,
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: I don't think I don't think Gibrill Cox is getting
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: passed over. I think they're just looking at the opportunities
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: to for these guys to get better, I mean and
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: and and to play more. And I think that watching
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: practice yesterday, I mean you could see most of it
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: was a walkthrough. Hardly anyone had helmets on except for
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: the defensive guys that are listening to the play calls.
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: And so Jabril Cox is one of them, Markus Bell
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: is another I believe one. Nay Thomas was also in
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: there as well. Doesn't mean they're going to call plays.
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: It just means that they're listening to the calls. They
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: want to get familiar with what Dan Quinn is calling there,
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: So that that was kind of interesting to see in
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: the middle of practice. You know, everyone's wearing ball cap
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: or whatever, you know, bucket hats, and there are some
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: defensive guys with actual helmets on because they're getting the
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: calls from from Dan Quinn gebril Cox. It's one of them,
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: so you know this will be this might be a
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: good opportunity for him to play, if he's going to
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: get out there and play in this game. This is
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: a tough one for the Cowboys because especially after last week.
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: They lost the game last week, not because of the score,
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: because they lost players on injury. That is the win
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: and loss for any preseason game, and they lost. They
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: lost two players for the season, two players that were
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: going to be on the team, a couple of rookies
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: and John Stevens and overshown. So you don't want to
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: do that in this game. You do want to evaluate players.
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: So it's there's some guys that really need to play.
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: There's some guys that that you don't want to risk.
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: Think about losing another player that is going to be
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: on your core special teams. If you lost another player
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: this week, that is going to be a really tough
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: situation for a guy like the special teams coordinator John Fossil.
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: You know, you just you don't want that, you can't
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: have it. So it's it's a very big balance here.
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: This is this is i would say, in the middle
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: of the first quarter to the second quarter. I think
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: from then on, you you're going to have most players
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: are not going to be on your roster, as simple
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: as that. And if they have a great game, that's
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: that's fine. Maybe it helps them make the practice squad,
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: maybe they play great enough where they are actually on
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: the team. But other than the kicker, Brandon Aubrey, who
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: could go out there. I mean I'd love to see
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: three or four field goals. I think everyone would feel
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: better about that. And why not try a fifty five
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: yard field goal when the ball is at the thirty
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: eight yard line instead of punting? I mean, why not
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: If he makes it, you feel so much better about him.
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: If he misses it, it's fifty five yards, you know,
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: I mean, you're not going to be I think it's
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: I think it's just a good situation. You're trying to
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: help the guy. So, uh, that's what I want to
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: see in this game. I want to see them stay healthy.
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: I want to see some some some field goals and uh,
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: you know, this is the move on. That's it. That's
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: really not a whole lot other to it than those
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: two things right there, all right? When a little bit
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: over time noting nothing too crazy, I think that's that's
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: going to do it for this show and this week
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: on Cowboys Storyline, stay tuned to the website. I'll tweet
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: out the schedule for next week. We're still trying to
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: get through this last week here. We'll probably go three
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: more times next week, different times, and then when we
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: ramp it up when the season starts, we're going to
• 29:27
