• 0:47
  Speaker 1: We're gonna answer those later on in the show. I
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: will answer one here in this first one. I'll get
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: started with that in just a second because it hits
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: with what we talk about when we start off Cowboys Storyline.
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: It is the storylines? What are the storylines? What is happening?
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: And there was some few things happening here today at practice,
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: some injuries. Injury's starting to pile up a little bit,
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: hopefully nothing severe as it stands right now as we
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: do this, Mazzie Smith had an MRI it sounds like
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: on his knee. Did not practice today. Cowboys wanted to
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: check that out, Hopefully they get good news there. Tyler
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: Battish Center. He rolled his ankle in the middle of practice.
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: He walked off, walked into the medical tent, came back,
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: did a few things, but not not a lot. They
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: they I think they held him out for the last
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: part of practice. I was. I saw him actually walking
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: around a little bit. I think I think he's okay.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: Doctor Nick here don't know. I would hate to assume,
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: but it seemed like he was probably all right. Thomas
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: left practice and went to the came back, returned. David Durdin,
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: this guy's making some plays now. He's a rookie free
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: agent from West Florida. He had he's a former baseball player.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: I think he's twenty five years old, twenty four years old, rookie,
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: but he's played in the Red Sox minor league system
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: for a couple of years, I believe, and he he
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: had a phenomenal catch that he got banged up on.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: They checked him out, he didn't return to practice. Not
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: gonna say it's concussion like symptoms. Don't want to jump
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: the gun on that, but you know, he was banged
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: up pretty good. But it was a heck of a
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: catch and it had a lot of his teammates running
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: and jumping, and it was like an and one mixtape
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: wheel when someone dunks and the whole crowd goes dut.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: So that's what that was like there. David Durton, he
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: has a couple of other diving catches. He's got really
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: really good hands. So some injuries, uh here for the
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: for the Cowboys, we'll see if if there was the
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: one to watch is certainly Mazie Smith. That's the one
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: that's got to keep an eye on there. Tony Pollard
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: is expected back Tuesday. This is today, expected back in
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: Auxnard four tomorrow's walk through practice. Whatever he's had, he's
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: left the last couple of days, had some personal issues
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: to take care of personal matter. He should be back at.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: What this is doing is just opened up the game.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: They opened up the backup runners, Malik Davis, Rico Davil,
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: Deuce Vaughan. They're getting a lot of carries here. Hunterd
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: Lifke's getting some carries because Pollard has been out and
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: Ronald Jones suffered a growing injury so he's been out.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: So that's kind of where we stand there. And if
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: you if you're just keeping score at home, maybe Zach
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: Martin is actually keeping score because he is home in
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: his score right now, it looks like seven hundred and
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: fifty thousand dollars in fines. Not good at math, but
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: we counted fifteen days now that he is not reported
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: to Camp times fifty grand, seven hundred and fifty thousand,
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: three quarters of a million dollars. I hope he's making
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: this point. I don't know. I don't know what's happening there.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: I love Zach Martin, I really do. I do not
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: understand that that's tough, but hopefully it's gonna end well
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: for him. It's hard when you're seven, seven fifty down,
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: seven fifty k down. So what's happening? Josh Ball's playing
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: a lot at right guard, and one of the things
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: that Mike McCarthy said to this press conference today was
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: that he has made the transition. He basically called Josh ballaguard.
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: He said he bends very, very very well for a
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: guy that's six's eight. That's always been my thing about
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: him playing guard is is can he get low enough?
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: Can he have leverage? And so far he's done a
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: pretty good job with that. And you know, when you
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: go up against MASSI, you go up against Hankets, you
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: go up against Oh so you're going up against some
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: pretty good d tackles. You're gonna get tested fairly well there.
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: So I want to see it in a game like
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: everyone does. But that's one thing to keep an eye on.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: Josh Baul has continued to get a lot of work
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: there at right Guard. It looks like he's made that transition,
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: but I doubt he's gonna play. He could play well,
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: but it's gonna have to be really, really, really well
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: for anyone to be missing or not missing. Sorry, Zach Martin.
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: All right, we're gonna take a break. We're gonna come back,
• 5:17

  Speaker 1: I love it.
• 7:49
  Speaker 6: I love it.
• 7:50
  Speaker 9: You can't beat this weather, can't beat this area where
• 7:52
  Speaker 9: we're at. And obviously it ain't burning burning, but it's
• 7:56
  Speaker 9: a little toasty.
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it is it is, and we yeah, I'm glad
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: we can get you into shade. Sorry about that. No,
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: but sometimes on those morning practices it works out better.
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: But you know they kept you out there for a
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: while here today.
• 8:09
  Speaker 6: Yes they did, Yes, they did. You know, it was
• 8:12
  Speaker 6: just training camp.
• 8:12
  Speaker 9: You know, we're trying to get our rep saying, you know,
• 8:15
  Speaker 9: work the technique and uh, you know, obviously you know
• 8:17
  Speaker 9: it's a grinding camp, but just working to get better
• 8:20
  Speaker 9: every snap.
• 8:20
  Speaker 6: Every play.
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: What what was it about? I mean, you've you've this
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: is what eleventh year I think for you eleven years
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: and moved around a little bit, Giants, Raiders, colts for
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: a year. What was it about the Cowboys that you
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: were like, I'm going to come back, not only come
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: back for eleventh year, but come back here.
• 8:39
  Speaker 9: Really just the guys in the d line room, you know,
• 8:42
  Speaker 9: I was you know, the whole team, just the atmosphere,
• 8:45
  Speaker 9: the coaching staff, the organization. You know, I hadn't been
• 8:49
  Speaker 9: you know to a few few teams and you know,
• 8:51
  Speaker 9: been a part of some good teams, but you know,
• 8:54
  Speaker 9: coming into uh, you know Dallas last year, you know,
• 8:57
  Speaker 9: winning team and just seeing how everything was run, how
• 9:01
  Speaker 9: the players engagement with one another and just a passion
• 9:03
  Speaker 9: for it. And then you know d Q and r
• 9:05
  Speaker 9: D line coach. You know, it just made a lot
• 9:08
  Speaker 9: easier to want to play for those guys, and it
• 9:10
  Speaker 9: put me in a situation where I can actually thrive
• 9:12
  Speaker 9: and you know, show you know people out there.
• 9:15
  Speaker 6: I could still ball.
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: You know, other positions, receivers, tight ends, corners, they draft
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: the first round pick at that position, and they want
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: to get a little salty about it, like what they
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: say about me. I have a feeling you weren't. You
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: weren't salty at all with that.
• 9:28
  Speaker 6: I did not mind. Honestly, I was actually happy.
• 9:32
  Speaker 9: I was a little surprised because you know, obviously I'm
• 9:34
  Speaker 9: Ohio state guy and he's a Michigan guy, and I'm like, bro,
• 9:37
  Speaker 9: I ain't really hear too much about this guy. But
• 9:39
  Speaker 9: once I went and you know, checked him out and
• 9:41
  Speaker 9: washing him, and then you know, seeing them in person,
• 9:44
  Speaker 9: I say, yeah, they got something special.
• 9:46
  Speaker 6: So I don't really.
• 9:47
  Speaker 9: Think, you know, me and him in the middle, whoeverard
• 9:49
  Speaker 9: the rotation may be, we ain't got to worry about
• 9:52
  Speaker 9: too much. But uh Bruh's definitely, you know, a good
• 9:55
  Speaker 9: selection that they made.
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: Back in the day. I think you're second, third, fourth
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: year when you were with the Giants. I'm sorry, I
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: don't even know. You gotta bring that, honestly. They yea
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: Damien Damien Harris. That's right, snack big snacks and you
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: two together. I mean, because that was Dak's rookie year
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: and they lost the first game, they won eleven in
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: a row, lost the and they lost to you guys
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: both times. Yeah, I mean there was something about that
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: middle there. I don't think Zeke loved running right right
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: through the middle. But the combination of two guys, like
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: you said, two really strong guys, what can that bring
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: this all? O?
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: Man?
• 10:35
  Speaker 9: It can bring a lot to this defense, especially on
• 10:37
  Speaker 9: first and second down, you know, putting offices and situations
• 10:41
  Speaker 9: they don't want to be in and uh where we
• 10:43
  Speaker 9: are actually comfortable and thriving. That so anything in the
• 10:46
  Speaker 9: second and long or you know, third and fifteen or
• 10:49
  Speaker 9: second and fifteen, we got another group of guys that's
• 10:52
  Speaker 9: ready to come in and you know, destroy these quarterbacks
• 10:55
  Speaker 9: and running back. So it kind of plays into our hand,
• 10:57
  Speaker 9: and that's that's what we're trying to do this year.
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: We fans are typically really smart of what's going on
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: with with all positions. But I think sometimes they kind
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: of forget defensive tackles aren't supposed to get a ton
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: of sacks. You know, three or four sacks is a
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: good season, but your second year seven sacks? Yeah, what
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: were you doing? I mean, what was going on here?
• 11:18
  Speaker 6: Man?
• 11:18
  Speaker 9: Really just just listening to the older guys and just
• 11:22
  Speaker 9: going out there and play. You know, at the time,
• 11:24
  Speaker 9: we had JPP Justin Tugg and you know I had
• 11:27
  Speaker 9: some you know, Culen Jenkins, Lanville Joseph. So I had
• 11:30
  Speaker 9: some some veterans around me that gave me the confidence
• 11:33
  Speaker 9: to go out there and beat myself in, you know,
• 11:35
  Speaker 9: show that just because we run stoppers, I don't mean
• 11:37
  Speaker 9: we can't to get to the quarterback or affect them.
• 11:40
  Speaker 6: And uh, you know, I just put it all there
• 11:42
  Speaker 6: out on the table, you know.
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: Awesome. Well, I've got some questions here from the fans,
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: and one of them they're gonna go right in. This
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: is going right in. Ask him if he's stronger than
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: Lozzie Smith.
• 11:54
  Speaker 9: No, No, we're close stronger than that guy here. When
• 11:59
  Speaker 9: it comes to the way, really I am not strong,
• 12:01
  Speaker 9: but you put me on the field, you know, football position,
• 12:04
  Speaker 9: good technique.
• 12:04
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I can now strengthen anybody in front of me.
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: Whether you've seen play out here or even in the
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: weight room, what have you seen from Mazie that you're like.
• 12:12
  Speaker 6: Oh, this guy warming up with three fifteen warming up.
• 12:16
  Speaker 9: That's usually, like my insaid when I'm dealing with my workouts.
• 12:20
  Speaker 9: So that right there just shows you how strong a
• 12:22
  Speaker 9: power over this guy is.
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, let's go to some other questions here.
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: This one is from William Houses. He said, I love
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: Big Hank, been waiting on him for a player like
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: this on this team for years. My question, if you
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: can ask him, what's the most important attribute of being
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: able to hold up at the point attack? Size, strength
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: or maybe technique.
• 12:41
  Speaker 9: Technique and having good being in the knees and just
• 12:45
  Speaker 9: to understand and you know what kind of blocks you getting,
• 12:48
  Speaker 9: and then just going out there and bawling, you know,
• 12:50
  Speaker 9: I mean, you can't really think too much when you're
• 12:52
  Speaker 9: inside in the middle, especially when you're getting double team
• 12:54
  Speaker 9: a lot. But just going out there and playing, and
• 12:56
  Speaker 9: I'll be doing this for eleven years now. I can
• 12:58
  Speaker 9: pretty much close my eyes and play a block.
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: So Dave from South Texas who's your least favorite lineman
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: to go up against the camp and why he's probably
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: not here?
• 13:08
  Speaker 6: Is he?
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 13:14
  Speaker 9: Yeah, I didn't really you know, last year and practice
• 13:16
  Speaker 9: going against that guy. It's a handful, but surprisingly Tyres
• 13:21
  Speaker 9: smith Man, you know, sometimes when I get in a
• 13:23
  Speaker 9: two hours sometimes three technique and you get a down
• 13:25
  Speaker 9: block from that guy, that's like a a steal brick
• 13:28
  Speaker 9: kit you at times. So you know, I try to
• 13:30
  Speaker 9: stay away from him.
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: I feel like, you know, everyone wants to have the
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: left tackle of the future. I've said it several times.
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: I think he's a left guard because I think you
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: got to protect the middle, especially with your quarterback and
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: run the ball. You feel like he's a guard tackle
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: or he's just a baller he's just whatever.
• 13:46
  Speaker 6: Tyler smith Oh Man, he's just a baller man.
• 13:50
  Speaker 9: When you're getting guys like that to be able to
• 13:52
  Speaker 9: play inside and out both sides, both tackles. That guy's athletic,
• 13:57
  Speaker 9: you know what I mean, just the offensive line. He's
• 13:59
  Speaker 9: athletic as well. But it was nice to not seeing
• 14:02
  Speaker 9: him to day too as well.
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: Jake benois He says, do you remember battling anyone as
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: badass as Zach Martin, So I'll just kind of change it.
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: What what who is the best interior linement you've ever faced?
• 14:15
  Speaker 9: When I was with the Giants, when it was Frederick
• 14:18
  Speaker 9: who was the center, Travis Frederick, Travis Frederick, I had
• 14:23
  Speaker 9: Larry and just that whole office ND back and you
• 14:26
  Speaker 9: know when I was playing back in the day, it
• 14:29
  Speaker 9: was it was.
• 14:29
  Speaker 6: War out that.
• 14:30
  Speaker 9: Yeah, it wasn't no cupcake game for neither one of
• 14:33
  Speaker 9: our sides. So I'll probably say, Dallas.
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: All right, Dallas, that's good. That's what they're obviously trying
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: to trying to get back here. All right, So what
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: does your eleven? What does a preseason type thing look
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: like for you? Do you need some some reps? Do
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: you want some would you rather just say I'll go
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: up against the Giants for sure?
• 14:51
  Speaker 6: If they want me to go get some reps, I
• 14:52
  Speaker 6: go get them. You know what I mean.
• 14:53
  Speaker 9: I would never turn on any rep, especially if the
• 14:56
  Speaker 9: coach sevent to go out there and get him. But
• 14:58
  Speaker 9: obviously in practice I'm getting a ton of reps, getting
• 15:01
  Speaker 9: a lot of snaps.
• 15:02
  Speaker 6: So but you know, this being year.
• 15:03
  Speaker 9: Eleven, you know most guys won't want to play. But
• 15:07
  Speaker 9: thankfully we got a lot of good depth, a lot
• 15:09
  Speaker 9: of young guys. I need to actually get the reps
• 15:11
  Speaker 9: and show you know what they can do. So either
• 15:14
  Speaker 9: call it don't matter.
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: All right, So I'm going to translate. If you want
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: me to play, I'll play. But if you if it's
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: helmet or.
• 15:21
  Speaker 6: Some flowers all the time, all the time.
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: All right? Number eleven. He seems pretty good out there
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: rushing the passer, rushing left side, right side, up the middle.
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: When you have a guy that's as dominated as him,
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: this will be our last one. When you have a
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: guy dominated as him that can play so many things?
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: How how how does that change what you guys do?
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: How exciting is it? Bro?
• 15:40
  Speaker 9: It literally makes it makes it easy for everybody else.
• 15:45
  Speaker 9: And my man is you know, Mike is a generation
• 15:51
  Speaker 9: like I still get like memorized of watching him practice
• 15:55
  Speaker 9: over past rushing just because he could be a linebacker.
• 15:58
  Speaker 9: He can rush from the house, he can rush from
• 16:00
  Speaker 9: the three, he can rush from off the ball, in
• 16:02
  Speaker 9: front of the center, he could rush on top of
• 16:04
  Speaker 9: the center. And he's not that big of a guy,
• 16:07
  Speaker 9: but he's so explosive, so fast, so good with his hands,
• 16:10
  Speaker 9: and it's this year three fun.
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Like.
• 16:14
  Speaker 9: I never seen nothing like it. Man, I can't really,
• 16:19
  Speaker 9: I don't know if you can compare him.
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: To you know what I mean, Like, well, they try
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: to compare to Lawrence Taylor. That's before your time. But
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: I'm sure you've heard a lot about him when you
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: were at the Giant.
• 16:27
  Speaker 6: No, for sure, I would definitely respect Lawrence Taylor.
• 16:29
  Speaker 9: But in this generation, in Micah's time, he's by far
• 16:33
  Speaker 9: one of the best defensive linemans I've ever seen.
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: Awesome, He's seen a lot. It's like we said, year eleven.
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: All right, we're getting to we're getting to wrap up,
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: So time we gotta go. You've had a long practice.

• 19:03
  Speaker 1: I'm Nick Heaven. Really want to thank Jonathan Hankins for
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: stopping by. He's a fun guy, big old, big old,
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: strong guy. Drives a really cool car too. He didn't
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: want me to talk about it, but it's pretty cool.
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: Drives it here in the parking lot, got some got
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: some swag to him for a big guy, and that's
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: funny how he said that about I think most veterans
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: feel that way about preseason, like, yeah, I'm gonna play.
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: I'm a football player. I'll play if you want me to,
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: But do you really want me to? Preseason? Gotta get
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: ready for that Week one game against the Giants. You
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: know he will be chomping at the bit for that one,
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: having started his career with the Giants and played the
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: first four seasons there. All right, let's talk a little
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: bit more about the defensive tackle position. We have a
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: question here from Brett Bender. Says Nick, what are your
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: thoughts on the defensive tackle position in Dallas? Any chance
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: Bohanna or Gallimore make a bigger impact this seas They're
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: gonna have their work cut out for him. There's no
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: doubt about it, because when you draft the player first round,
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: like they did in Mazzie Smith, first time in I
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: think thirty two years since Russell Maryland that you drafted
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: a first round and of course he went one overall,
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: but still it's not a position you typically do. You
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: don't address it that early, but the Cowboys did this year.
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: He's obviously making it. He's gonna have a big impact.
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: I think OsO Diggi Zoo is gonna have a nice
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: role in the middle as well. And then of course
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: the guy we just interviewed, Hankins, they've resigned him and
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: he's gonna have a prominent role as well. So then
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: past that, and then you start wondering where some of
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: these other guys will fit. And Neville Gallimore is in
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: that boat, so is Bohanna, so is Chauncey Golston. So
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: I think they've got depth. I think that they've got
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: trade potential there if if there is something that they
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: need right before the end of UH preseason and training camp.
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: I could see that happen. I could see the Cowboys
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: maybe trying to trade somebody that there's just not gonna
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: make the team. I've said it before. You've got draft
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: picks at defensive tackle that are gonna be fighting for spots.
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: And that's that's Gallimore, that's Rhanna, that's Golston. I know
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: I'm missing a tackle in there, somebody else that that
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: uh is you know, I know Isaac Aller Cohen's in there.
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: He's not probably ready to make the team. Practice squad
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: would be uh, you know, his best thing, because he's
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: starting over. He's starting over playing defensive tackle, so his
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: best bat I would think would be would be practice squad.
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: So to say they've got some talent, I think Mazie
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: and Hankins that's gonna be very very strong osa. I
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: mean that that that's a really good set of defensive
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: tackles there in the middle. And then you also factor
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: in all those pass rushers they have on third and
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: long Tank slides inside. Sometimes Dorance can slide inside, so
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: you're gonna have guys rushing the pastor front from the
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: inside as well. All right, Mike Gray, I think he's
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: from a Popka, Florida. He's one of the old old
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: school listeners. He's one of the ogs of Dallascowboys dot
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: Com Radio says, with the additions of Hankins, Gilmour Cooks,
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: guys that have actually won Super Bowls and the impact
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: they have made off the field in the locker room,
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: do you think it will change Steven Jones approach in
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: the future when it comes to adding veteran players. Let's
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: see what happens on the field. I mean, right now,
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: they seem to be good additions. Let's see if if
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: Gilmore goes and has six interceptions and he's a great
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: player and he helps Digs even more then yeah, that's
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: great move. Same with Cooks. He's had a thousand yards
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: five different places. Let's see if he can do it again.
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: I mean, there's no reason why he shouldn't. I don't
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: think they they will say. I don't think Steve even
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: will say that they're changing their approach. I think that
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: it worked for this time, and they found situations at work.
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: You remember, they had a few more picks that they
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: were able to part with compensatory picks that they were
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: okay doing that. So I don't think they're changing their philosophy.
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: But I do think that if it works, I think
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: you'll definitely look to do it again, case by case scenarios.
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: All right, Joe Simpson, he says, I'm truly worried about
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: the Cowboys O line. Do you consider it a potential
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: achilles heel of this team? Offensive line is always the
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: achilles heel of the team, potentially, because if you can't block,
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: you can't do anything. You can't run, you can't throw,
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: you can't catch, you can't do anything. So if you
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: get an injury or three at the offensive line, yeah,
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: it potentially could be a problem. Or you know, like
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: we said earlier in the show, if Zach Martin just
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: continues to hold out and just give money to charity,
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: which is what he's doing right now. But you know,
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: with him not out there, then you wonder what else
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: is going what other guys are gonna slide into this mix.
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: I think that it'll get it'll be fine eventually, because
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: I do think they have some talent. It's gonna take
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: a lot of injuries. It's gonna take an injury, you know,
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: to tiring and then and then the backup or maybe
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: another guy knock on wood. But but I just think,
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: bless you strong strong sneeze up there in the in
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: the gallery. I think that the offensive line is in
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: good shape right now, but it all takes his two
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: or three injuries at any point, and that it could
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: be on the rails at that point. So I'm not
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: truly worried about it. We haven't played any games, though.
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: I want to see what Matt well Letsko can do.
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: I want to se see with Josh Ball as we
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: talked about him earlier. I want to see these guys
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: in games. And you know, you also want to see
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: see Tyron Smith and how he can just if he
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: can stay healthy. He really hasn't been able to do
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: it last five years. This year it's a little different.
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: His contract is different. He's making about a million dollars
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: a game. So I bet you he'll make sure that
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: he's out there the best that he can be. And
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: he's always been that type of guy. All Right, Daniel Vega,
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: he said, who's been the biggest camp surprise so far? Well, Daniel,
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: I'm not going to give you ten, because there is
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: going to be an article on our website of the
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: ten camp surprises. And I think the spirit of this
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: question is which player has been the biggest surprise. It's
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: not the biggest surprise to me any player doing well.
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: The biggest surprise is that Zach Martin is not here.
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: That's a bigger surprise. The biggest player, though, is I mean,
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: it's Jylen Bucks eighty three. He's unbelievable. He has been phenomenal,
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: not just for a seventh round pick, and not for
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: a seventh round pick who didn't catch any passes at
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: South Carolina. He has been phenomenal. If you just look
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: at the tape and go, who's this guy? Oh, he's
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: our second round pick out of Virginia. Oh, he looks great. Well,
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: he's the seventh round pick out of South Carolina. He
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: looks great. He had to catch today today's practice in
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: the back of the end zone. It was a fifty
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: yard bomb from Dak. Can't remember the corner that was
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: trying to cover. It was not Digs, I don't remember.
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: But he does go up against Now he's in the rotation.
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: He's going up against some of these top corners. But
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: he had had great separation. Did not look like he
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: was going to catch up to this pass in the
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: back of the end zone. He makes a diving catch
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: for what would be a touchdown. Roll does a summersault,
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: gets up this. You know what, You're kind of waiting
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: for the for the bottom to drop here. I mean,
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: have a bad day, hit a rookie wall show us
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: why you went in the seventh round not seeing it.
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: Jalen Brooks has been really good. I think he's I
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: think he's been the third best receiver here. I'm not
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: saying he's the third best receiver. I think he has
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: been the third best receiver. I think Cooks and and
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: CD have been outstanding. I think this guy's been right there.
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: Sometimes it's easy to say that when your expectations are
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: low all right. Ken will Win is the name of
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: this one. Ken will Win. He says, do you think
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: Michah will be more prone to some offside penalties? Teams
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: trying to draw him off side? What's the over under there.
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: I'll take one a game for a sack. DeMarcus Ware
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: he used to do it all the time. Floseel Adams
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: led the league in fallse start penalties, but nobody was
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: really getting around him. DeMarcus got twenty sacks one year.
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: I think he almost I got like fifteen off side penalties.
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: It happens. It happens. It's not an excuse. It's not say, oh,
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: you know, don't worry about it. But if he's if
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: he's getting if he can stay somewhat disciplined, it happens
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: every now and again. That's fine. For the most part.
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: They'll get after the quarterback, get after the quarterback, and
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: if that's what they're having to do to try to
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: draw you off side, as long as it's not all
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: the way down the field and create a drive for
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: someone you know, have some discipline. But for the most part,
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: I'm not too worried about a five yard sack. If
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: he's getting a strip sack forced fumble a few plays later.
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: All right, Patrick from Houston, He says, should the Cowboys
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: have drafted a kicker in each of the last two years? Sure?
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: I mean where where I mean? Right now? It looks
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: like the Cowboys comfort level of taking kickers is fifth, sixth,
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: seventh round. And there was two good ones this year
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: they both went, but third, fourth round they went. They
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: went higher than what the Cowboys are comfortable doing. That's
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: just the way it is. Should they be Should they
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: have a little bit more you know, presidents there? Should
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: should they should they say, Man, we got to get
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: a kicker way earlier than this, a little bit more urgency. Sure, sure,
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: I'm fine with that. I know this isn't fantasy football,
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: but that's the way I do it. And when I'm
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: drafted in fantasy football, I want to get I want
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: to get the best guy at this position. So I'm
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: usually the first one to take the kicker, or the
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: defense or the tight end. Which that's that's different now
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: with Kelsey at tight end. He's in a first round.
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: But back in the day, you know, you waited a
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: little bit. And I say all this to say me personally,
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: because kickers matter so much. I'm taking a kicker a
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: little bit earlier than most teams if I if there's
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: one that I'm like, this guy is really really great
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: or has the potential to be great. So Cowboys really
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: aren't there just yet. All right, Scott from New Jersey.
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: What rookie is gonna crush it this year? Which draft pick?
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: I mean, you know Mazzie Smith, he's the first round pick,
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: but I don't see him. I don't see him making
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: like a huge splash. It is hard to make a
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: splash at that position. It doesn't mean that you can't
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: solidify the run, but it's gonna be hard to just
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: come in and just be a difference maker at that position.
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: I think the guy that has a chance to do
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: it the most is probably Overshown from third round linebacker
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: from Texas. He could play all over the field for
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: Stalen Brooks looks great. Duce Vaughan, I mean, that's gonna
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: be fun to watch. And then you know Eric Scott Junior.
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: He's he's a really good corner too, so they got
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: a lot of options. I think Deuce Will will probably
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: have the most wow plays this year. All Right, That's
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: that's it for my questions. Here. That's it for this show.
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: It's fun. Jonathan Hankins. We want to thank him for
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: coming by, and I also thank Chris Beam for running
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: around and getting this set up. And he's I mean,
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: Chris Bean. I'm telling you, if I don't know one,
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: he could be in the NASCAR pit crew because not
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: only does he know how to get things done, he
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: can do it like in fifteen seconds. You know, I
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: need to switch this out for this Cabri I go.
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: I mean, that's what he does. He's like mcgiver, love him.
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: He's the best. And he's beating in the sun right now.
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: So all right, let's get out of here. It's been
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: a great, great show. Looking forward to tomorrow's show. Looking
• 31:33
