  Speaker 4: Welcome to Cowboys storyline presented by Gellette. I'm Nick Eatman
• 0:29
  Speaker 4: at August thirteenth, a year and a quiet Oxnard, California.
• 0:34
  Speaker 4: It's quiet for now to see if the we get
• 0:37
  Speaker 4: some of these mowers and blowers going on here at
• 0:40
  Speaker 4: some point, But Cowboys will get back at it here,
• 0:44
  Speaker 4: just like we're back at it for the first time
• 0:46
  Speaker 4: this week, first time in a while. Seems like it's
• 0:48
  Speaker 4: been a little bit. Some things have happened. The Cowboys
• 0:50
  Speaker 4: had a practice, joint practice against the Rams. It was
• 0:54
  Speaker 4: not the Super Bowl, as we've seen some certain reports.
• 1:01
  Speaker 4: I think the Cowboys UH did well. A lot of
• 1:05
  Speaker 4: it was based off of expectations for the defense, which
• 1:08
  Speaker 4: were very low. But I think all in all was
• 1:11
  Speaker 4: a good practice against the Rams, good showing against the
• 1:14
  Speaker 4: team that everyone expects is going to be UH contending
• 1:18
  Speaker 4: for a Super Bowl. So where do the Cowboys fit
• 1:20
  Speaker 4: into that?
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: Well?
• 1:20
  Speaker 4: I think that you know it was for for joint
• 1:23
  Speaker 4: how joint practices go. I think they they did well.
• 1:28
  Speaker 4: There was a lot of scheming going on. Certainly wasn't
• 1:30
  Speaker 4: any tackling things like that, but I think that you
• 1:33
  Speaker 4: wanted to see some some progress, You wanted to see
• 1:35
  Speaker 4: some good things, and the Cowboys were able to show that.
• 1:38

• 2:18
  Speaker 5: you know, there was a little bit of stuff and

  Speaker 5: of and they did good. You know, it was much better,
• 2:26
  Speaker 5: much more competitive than last year. You know, they their

  Speaker 5: was like players, it just like really stood out to
• 2:54
  Speaker 5: you offensively and defensively besides just Embarron's three interception, Uh,
• 3:00
  Speaker 5: you know, anybody else and you know how you think

  Speaker 5: just some of the backups are coming along or you know,
• 3:08
  Speaker 5: offensively and you know, things like that, Just guys that
• 3:11
  Speaker 5: stood out and really just want to I feel like
• 3:14
  Speaker 5: you give it to it straight man, like when we're
• 3:16
  Speaker 5: way too high the other ones like hey yeah, hey, hey,
• 3:19
  Speaker 5: it's we have any heat preseason week one yet, so
• 3:23
  Speaker 5: you know, and then when you know, when things are good,
• 3:26
  Speaker 5: you're like, you know what they're doing good, let's show
• 3:29
  Speaker 5: show some more things. You know, So again, want to
• 3:32
  Speaker 5: get kind of what your thoughts and feelings are.
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: You were right there, all right, thanks for the call.
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: I may I appreciate that we're going to keep it rolling.
• 3:40
  Speaker 4: You said, I will bring it to you straight. I'm
• 3:41
  Speaker 4: gonna be straight up about this because I don't want
• 3:43
  Speaker 4: to have any kind of I don't I don't want
• 3:47
  Speaker 4: to steer you guys the wrong way. I was not
• 3:49
  Speaker 4: at the practice. I was not there Cowboys and Rams.
• 3:52
  Speaker 4: I was back home tending some things back back home,
• 3:56
  Speaker 4: first day of school and other situations.
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: Missed being there. For sure.
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: I've seen pretty much what you guys have seen, So
• 4:05
  Speaker 4: I'm not gonna sit here and say whatever it was now.
• 4:08
  Speaker 4: I've seen things, talk to a lot of people, and
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: and you know, from what it sounds like, is it was.
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: It was a good.
• 4:17
  Speaker 4: Intense, fifty to fifty battle. That's what it's what it
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: sounds like. It wasn't dominating the Rams. They they got yards,
• 4:25
  Speaker 4: they got touchdowns, they moved the ball, they did some things.
• 4:28
  Speaker 4: They got some pressure on defense. Terrence Steele apparently had
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: had some issues there right tackle. The Cowboys had had
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: some issues early on. Miles Garrett wasn't even there, so
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: like like let's just you know, let's take those.
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: Parts of it.
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: But yeah, I mean the Cowboys did did do some
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: really good things as well, you know, and it's hard
• 4:48
  Speaker 4: with it even when you're not tackling. I mean, it
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: is tough. You see George Pickens make a catch and
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: he's he's you know, you know, through the weaving through
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: the defense, and then two guys touch him on the hip.
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: You know, were they going to tackle him? Was he
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: gonna jump over him? Who knows?
• 5:04
  Speaker 5: You know?
• 5:04
  Speaker 4: And he to him, he scores to the Rams's like
• 5:08
  Speaker 4: he's down at the twenty. Well you know that that's
• 5:09
  Speaker 4: what that's what a practice is. And you know, so
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: I think all in all, and we talked more about it,
• 5:15
  Speaker 4: but I mean, I think that there was a really
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: good showing for the defense. And that's that's that's where
• 5:21
  Speaker 4: you want to start, because you know what the offense
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: is going to do, just like you know what the
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: Rams offense is going to be. So it was it
• 5:26
  Speaker 4: was good there from from that standpoint. All right, let's
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: keep it rolling. We got Joe and Stanford. Joe, what's up, dude, brother?
• 5:34
  Speaker 6: Glad you traveled safe.
• 5:35
  Speaker 7: That was a quick back and forth.
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah, sure was, it sure was.
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: And then we hit the media party last night, which
• 5:43
  Speaker 4: the media party is the seventy two Dolphins. It's undefeated,
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: it's never lost, and it didn't lose last night.
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: I lost.
• 5:51
  Speaker 7: But whatever, So two things, uh really concerned about Steel.
• 5:57
  Speaker 7: I wonder what your feelings are about on the tackle situation.
• 6:01
  Speaker 7: I know I hit that a lot, but I'm worried
• 6:04
  Speaker 7: about it. And the other question I have for you
• 6:06
  Speaker 7: is what about the baron? Is he then exact bond?
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: What a great question. I love it. That would be great, thanks, Joe.
• 6:17
  Speaker 4: Yeah, if that, if that happened, problem solved that linebacker,
• 6:21
  Speaker 4: if you know he can be that that type of guy.
• 6:25
  Speaker 4: You know, what you want with the any linebackers is awareness, right,
• 6:30
  Speaker 4: I mean awareness is the key. Also past you know,
• 6:34
  Speaker 4: past coverage. How many times have we seen these linebackers
• 6:37
  Speaker 4: in the years that struggled there.
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: They didn't get to the football.
• 6:39
  Speaker 4: They can make some plays, make some tackles, but you
• 6:42
  Speaker 4: get them out in space, you get them in coverage,
• 6:44
  Speaker 4: and they look a little lost and they're having a
• 6:46
  Speaker 4: hard time with some of those mismatches with tight ends.
• 6:48
  Speaker 4: And so you know, one one practice for sure that
• 6:50
  Speaker 4: that's all it was. But he he was like, you know,
• 6:54
  Speaker 4: he got one and then he got two, and then
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: you know it's like, all right, you're really gonna get
• 6:57
  Speaker 4: a third one here?
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: I mean, how much how many reps is he out? Therefore?
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: You know what I mean like he's not like he's
• 7:02
  Speaker 4: taking every single rep anyway, So what a performance for him.
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: And but you know, all in all, now going back
• 7:10
  Speaker 4: to what you said, also you're concerned with with Steel, Yeah,
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: it's concerning because and I said this on this show
• 7:17
  Speaker 4: last week. I thought, I go, well, you know, steal's
• 7:19
  Speaker 4: your best tackle. We'll see if Geydon can can get
• 7:23
  Speaker 4: to that level. But why are we trying to move
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: him for Nate Thomas when steals your best tackle? Well,
• 7:30
  Speaker 4: if he is, you know, then if that was the
• 7:33
  Speaker 4: showing and that is your best tackle, then yeah, you
• 7:36
  Speaker 4: should be concerned. And so we'll see if it gets
• 7:38
  Speaker 4: better than that. It's gonna get tougher than that, though,
• 7:41
  Speaker 4: I mean they may they turned some of the rams,
• 7:45
  Speaker 4: you know, solid players into you know, Justin Barns. You know,
• 7:49
  Speaker 4: they had Justin Barred's on the other side. So that
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: that is a concern. That might be one that if
• 7:54
  Speaker 4: you're looking from the outside looking at help, maybe maybe
• 7:58
  Speaker 4: offensive tackles a spot that you that you need to
• 8:01
  Speaker 4: look at for sure. All Right, Brian in Kansas City
• 8:04
  Speaker 4: is our next caller.
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: Brian, what's up, Good morning, Nick? How are you doing.
• 8:10
  Speaker 6: I'm doing good.
• 8:10
  Speaker 8: Ben, Hey, I want to ask kind of a bigger
• 8:13
  Speaker 8: picture question. I'm only going to ask about Shoddy because
• 8:17
  Speaker 8: he's the offensive play caller. Can't really ask this question
• 8:21
  Speaker 8: about CP yet because we don't know enough about what
• 8:24
  Speaker 8: he's going to be as a play caller yet. But
• 8:28
  Speaker 8: you know, I saw this weird statistic about the ninety
• 8:33
  Speaker 8: what was it ninety two Cowboys, And this is something
• 8:35
  Speaker 8: that North Turner is a play caller, brought as a
• 8:39
  Speaker 8: competitive advantage to the game day. And it was the
• 8:45
  Speaker 8: weird statistic and I had forgotten, I've forgotten this was
• 8:49
  Speaker 8: Moose had fifty catches and Emmett had fifty seven catches
• 8:53
  Speaker 8: that year. Both of them had more catches than Novachek.
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: In when what year was that?
• 8:59
  Speaker 8: And Harper this would have been the ninety three season.
• 9:04
  Speaker 8: So and the competitive advantage that that Turner brought was
• 9:08
  Speaker 8: by this point in time, people knew what the Cowboys
• 9:12
  Speaker 8: were and they knew how to play him, right they
• 9:15
  Speaker 8: you know, they're like, Okay, we gotta we got to
• 9:18
  Speaker 8: make sure Harper can't go deep because he was averaging.
• 9:21
  Speaker 8: You know that one weird year we had average like
• 9:24
  Speaker 8: twenty yards of catch and we got to you know,
• 9:27
  Speaker 8: we got a double Irvin on everything. So what nerve
• 9:31
  Speaker 8: what Norv Turner did was said, oh okay, you think
• 9:34
  Speaker 8: you got us figure it out. And he brought a
• 9:36
  Speaker 8: new advantage and that out of those one hundred and
• 9:40
  Speaker 8: seven catches from those two guys, thirty.
• 9:44
  Speaker 6: Of them were for first downs.
• 9:46
  Speaker 8: And that was like his competitive advantage that he brought
• 9:49
  Speaker 8: to keep the Cowboys dynasty rolling. I'm curious, I didn't
• 9:54
  Speaker 8: see anything last year, but you see it up much
• 9:56
  Speaker 8: closer than the rest of us. Do you see Shoddy
• 10:01
  Speaker 8: with a specific competitive advantage in in any part of
• 10:05
  Speaker 8: what he does. Doesn't matter what you think it is.
• 10:07
  Speaker 8: It can be leadership, it could be you know, could
• 10:10
  Speaker 8: be something else. I just didn't see something like that
• 10:13
  Speaker 8: last year. Wanted to get your opinion. I'll hang up
• 10:15
  Speaker 8: with listen man. Good to talk to you.
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: All right, all right, appreciate it and good talking to
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: you as well.
• 10:22
  Speaker 4: And I have a hard time comparing, you know, anything
• 10:25
  Speaker 4: to those ninety three teams or in the nineties, just
• 10:29
  Speaker 4: because the game is so different and also that team
• 10:31
  Speaker 4: was different just the way that they were built with Emmett, uh,
• 10:35
  Speaker 4: you know, in Emmett doing so many things with Michael
• 10:38
  Speaker 4: Irvin and Novichek, and Novichek was a little bit more
• 10:41
  Speaker 4: of you know, of a weapon obviously than than than Ferguson,
• 10:45
  Speaker 4: and and they had now the receivers. It's just a
• 10:48
  Speaker 4: different type of animal than than than what they have now.
• 10:53
  Speaker 4: But you know, I think, I think what you're saying
• 10:57
  Speaker 4: is and what what happened there was moose and and
• 11:00
  Speaker 4: caught passes. They were a product of the system, and
• 11:02
  Speaker 4: they were a product of what teams were trying to
• 11:04
  Speaker 4: take away, trying to take away in its run, they
• 11:06
  Speaker 4: were trying to take away Irvin, the slant, they were
• 11:08
  Speaker 4: trying to take away deep ball to Harper and Novichick,
• 11:10
  Speaker 4: all that stuff. And so when that happens, you look
• 11:13
  Speaker 4: at other weapons. It's the same thing Ferguson did last year.
• 11:15
  Speaker 4: He caught all those passes. They're trying to take other
• 11:17
  Speaker 4: things away, So what are your other things? And in
• 11:20
  Speaker 4: that team, Darryl Johnston, you know, I looked at this
• 11:24
  Speaker 4: that too. I was like, man, I didn't think that
• 11:26
  Speaker 4: that was that high that they were. They both caught,
• 11:28
  Speaker 4: Like you said, I'm fifty to fifty seven and the
• 11:30
  Speaker 4: average I think average seven point four and moose average
• 11:34
  Speaker 4: seven point three. So now you're saying that they were
• 11:37
  Speaker 4: getting a first down. They probably did most of the time,
• 11:40
  Speaker 4: but I mean they were seven yard average. That's better
• 11:44
  Speaker 4: than what Ferguson had last year. That's one of the
• 11:45
  Speaker 4: things Ferguson's gonna have to get better. He's gonna have
• 11:47
  Speaker 4: to get better with that average, a little playmaking, a
• 11:49
  Speaker 4: little bit more down the field.
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: But the key is is the other weapons. The other weapons,
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: what do they.
• 11:56
  Speaker 4: Do Because if those guys and that's a turpin, maybe
• 11:59
  Speaker 4: out of the backfielder, you know, some gadget plays with him,
• 12:02
  Speaker 4: or may or Javonte rimmed the ball or catching out
• 12:04
  Speaker 4: of the backfielder, Jaden Blue or whatever it is. Maybe
• 12:07
  Speaker 4: it's Breven span Ford who they put as the second
• 12:09
  Speaker 4: tight second tight end now in their unofficial depth chart.
• 12:12
  Speaker 4: Those type of things. If those other things can be
• 12:17
  Speaker 4: good enough that you have to kind of worry about,
• 12:20
  Speaker 4: then that's what's going to open things back up. You
• 12:22
  Speaker 4: can't take away CD and you can't take away pickens.
• 12:25
  Speaker 4: You can't take away the things that they want to
• 12:26
  Speaker 4: try to take away.
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: All right. I don't know if that made sense, but
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: it made sense to me.
• 12:30
  Speaker 4: So is Johntay still on the line, Johntay and fort Worth?
• 12:34
  Speaker 4: What's up man, Johntay, Hey, what's up?
• 12:37
  Speaker 6: Good morning?
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: Good morning? How you doing going good?
• 12:40
  Speaker 9: Man?
• 12:40
  Speaker 4: Now, Johnte was actually one of the guys that was
• 12:43
  Speaker 4: out here, uh two years in a row. Now you've
• 12:45
  Speaker 4: been out here as a part of the storyline crew,
• 12:48
  Speaker 4: so I know you don't get to call that much,
• 12:50
  Speaker 4: but we're happy you're on the line today.
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: What's going on?
• 12:53
  Speaker 9: Yeaes sir. My work schedule, man, it comes flicks a
• 12:56
  Speaker 9: whole lot of stuff, you know.
• 12:57
  Speaker 4: But I was life would be fun if you didn't
• 13:00
  Speaker 4: have work, you know what I mean, if it just
• 13:02
  Speaker 4: wasn't if we didn't have to do the work stuff,
• 13:04
  Speaker 4: life would be a lot easier, I think, right.
• 13:07
  Speaker 9: Right, Yeah, I just had a question man, in regards
• 13:12
  Speaker 9: to the joint practice that we just recently had with
• 13:15
  Speaker 9: the RAMS opposed to the one that we had last year.
• 13:19
  Speaker 9: Between seeing the two, are you optimistic about the defense
• 13:23
  Speaker 9: being better or you know, significantly better or just you
• 13:27
  Speaker 9: know a tabit better. I know everybody's saying that we
• 13:30
  Speaker 9: don't have to be great, we just need to be
• 13:32
  Speaker 9: a speed bump, But give me an opinion on how
• 13:35
  Speaker 9: the joint practice looked and what do you think we
• 13:38
  Speaker 9: look like, you know, coming up upon the season.
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: All right, all right, John Zay, thanks for the call.
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: Good stuff.
• 13:45
  Speaker 4: I for a defense that had, you know, from last
• 13:49
  Speaker 4: year's defense, and there's some holdovers. There's not a lot,
• 13:52
  Speaker 4: definitely not from the coaching standpoint. But as bad as
• 13:57
  Speaker 4: it was for the defense, all of that has been
• 13:59
  Speaker 4: a eighth as far is okay, this is just hit reset,
• 14:03
  Speaker 4: different thing, different different team, different everything.
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: So they've got swagger.
• 14:10
  Speaker 4: They've got some swag to them for a unit that
• 14:14
  Speaker 4: wasn't very good last year. And so you know, the Giants,
• 14:17
  Speaker 4: the Commanders, the Eagles, whoever plays them last year, they're
• 14:19
  Speaker 4: gonna be you know.
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: Oh well this is what we faced last year.
• 14:22
  Speaker 4: Totally different. You can't do that. You can't judge any
• 14:24
  Speaker 4: of that, what Christian Parker's doing. You can't judge what
• 14:27
  Speaker 4: those even what the holdovers were, what Land did last year,
• 14:31
  Speaker 4: what Overshown did last year, even Quinn Williams. It's all different.
• 14:34
  Speaker 4: And they've got a good swag to them. They fly
• 14:36
  Speaker 4: around to the ball. That's one thing you see out
• 14:38
  Speaker 4: here that you saw it in the rams practice, they
• 14:41
  Speaker 4: are a lot more active. It seems like teams speed
• 14:45
  Speaker 4: is has been upgraded. And I don't even know if
• 14:48
  Speaker 4: it's necessarily forty times or if it's just, you know,
• 14:52
  Speaker 4: more athletic ability. I think what it is is the
• 14:56
  Speaker 4: confidence in what they're doing, what they they understand, what
• 15:00
  Speaker 4: they are out there doing and when that happens. And
• 15:03
  Speaker 4: I say the line all the time, I think it's
• 15:06
  Speaker 4: very very important here. It's the Bill of Parcels quote
• 15:10
  Speaker 4: that he had about knowledge is confidence and confidence lets
• 15:12
  Speaker 4: you play fast. I think that's what's happening. I think
• 15:15
  Speaker 4: this is a more confident defense. They're a lot more
• 15:17
  Speaker 4: knowledgeable about what they're doing and why. That's the big
• 15:20
  Speaker 4: thing Christian Parker talked about. I don't want these guys
• 15:22
  Speaker 4: knowing what to do only I want them to know
• 15:26
  Speaker 4: what to do and why why we want them to
• 15:28
  Speaker 4: do it, because that will make a lot of sense
• 15:30
  Speaker 4: with everyone else's position.
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: You're seeing that happen.
• 15:33
  Speaker 4: You see them fly around to the football, and I
• 15:35
  Speaker 4: think because of that, they have a lot more team speed.
• 15:38
  Speaker 4: I don't know if Shemar James is faster than he
• 15:40
  Speaker 4: was before, or Justin Barron or or Revel or any
• 15:43
  Speaker 4: of these guys. But when they the confidence that they're
• 15:46
  Speaker 4: playing with is making them play faster, and that that's
• 15:49
  Speaker 4: certainly a good thing. All right, let's go to Josh
• 15:52
  Speaker 4: in Chicago. Josh, what's up?
• 15:55
  Speaker 6: Hey man? I hope all's well.
• 15:57
  Speaker 10: I uh heard heard of your back home? That's I
• 16:00
  Speaker 10: hope everything's going all right.
• 16:01
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, needed to be home and home needed
• 16:04
  Speaker 4: me there. But uh, it's all right. I'm back here,
• 16:07
  Speaker 4: back here with with my other team, and I'm happy
• 16:09
  Speaker 4: to be here.
• 16:11
  Speaker 6: Awesome.
• 16:11
  Speaker 10: Hey, huge shout out to Irene green Dot. She was
• 16:14
  Speaker 10: helping me out all week. I was like, I feel
• 16:15
  Speaker 10: like I'm getting bad gouge. My Twitter was just slow
• 16:17
  Speaker 10: and I was like, hey, what there was our show
• 16:19
  Speaker 10: on to? Just a huge shot out of Irene.
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah, what can she not do? Oh? I know, yeah,
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: what do you got?
• 16:28
  Speaker 5: So?
• 16:28
  Speaker 10: I just also wanted to just say how happy I
• 16:31
  Speaker 10: am that we got accused deal done early. I think
• 16:34
  Speaker 10: that's a huge deal, not just for the salary cap relief,
• 16:36
  Speaker 10: but to lock down a really, you know, top player
• 16:40
  Speaker 10: at his position who's proven that he's a top player,
• 16:43
  Speaker 10: who's still young, and getting that contract done early. I
• 16:46
  Speaker 10: just think that that's great. Yeah, I think you're just
• 16:49
  Speaker 10: talking about CP and the attitude he brings. So if
• 16:52
  Speaker 10: I just ask one question, if if you're looking out
• 16:54
  Speaker 10: right now for a player or a position that you
• 16:56
  Speaker 10: think we need, not necessarily a specific player and you
• 16:59
  Speaker 10: can't name anybody specifically, but if you're looking out right
• 17:01
  Speaker 10: now and saying, hey, there's a position that we really
• 17:03
  Speaker 10: need on this team offense, defense, special teams, WI would
• 17:06
  Speaker 10: that be?
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: And why?
• 17:07
  Speaker 10: And I'll take it off the air.
• 17:08
  Speaker 3: Okay, all right, that's a that's a good question.
• 17:11
  Speaker 4: There's a lot of different positions you can go there,
• 17:13
  Speaker 4: and I think it's easy to say, well, what about
• 17:15
  Speaker 4: offensive tackle right now?
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: Because you're still trying to get Guidon. You know, you
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: want him to.
• 17:20
  Speaker 4: Be at at at a higher level than maybe he
• 17:23
  Speaker 4: is seeing consistency wise, and then of course Terrence still
• 17:26
  Speaker 4: you just want, you know, you want better player there.
• 17:28
  Speaker 3: I think he's solid.
• 17:30
  Speaker 4: He has his moments where you know that he struggles
• 17:34
  Speaker 4: at times, and I think that sort of happened in
• 17:36
  Speaker 4: the in the practice. He's had moments where you don't,
• 17:40
  Speaker 4: you know, think much about him, and he's very consistent
• 17:43
  Speaker 4: as far as being there, you know, availability, I mean,
• 17:46
  Speaker 4: he's had that. He had a knee knee injury. It
• 17:48
  Speaker 4: was at the end of twenty twenty one, and he
• 17:49
  Speaker 4: hasn't missed a game after that. When he came back,
• 17:51
  Speaker 4: he came back, he was practicing here the very next year,
• 17:53
  Speaker 4: which which is crazy when you think about that, a big,
• 17:57
  Speaker 4: a big three hundred and twenty five pounds tackle with
• 18:00
  Speaker 4: a knee injury, coming back in a December injury, coming
• 18:05
  Speaker 4: back and hasn't missed a game earlier or a practice
• 18:07
  Speaker 4: and since. So kudus to him. But that's a position that, yeah,
• 18:11
  Speaker 4: you can get better at any position that you're like,
• 18:15
  Speaker 4: we don't really have a Pro bowler. I know, I'm
• 18:17
  Speaker 4: not trying to sound like it, like you know, uppity here,
• 18:20
  Speaker 4: but I'm just like, when you don't have a position,
• 18:23
  Speaker 4: you don't have a player that you think is going
• 18:25
  Speaker 4: to make a Pro Bowl, then you're like, well, that's
• 18:27
  Speaker 4: one that we could get better at.
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: Corner is another one.
• 18:30
  Speaker 4: Now, Duran Blans made a Pro Bowl obviously, but Rebel
• 18:34
  Speaker 4: I think had had, you know, a good day, and
• 18:36
  Speaker 4: Kobe Durant brings a different level to this defense. But
• 18:39
  Speaker 4: I think corner is another position where if the right
• 18:42
  Speaker 4: situation came up that that might be one. So I
• 18:45
  Speaker 4: look at corner and offensive tackle as positions of you've.
• 18:49
  Speaker 3: Got solid players. I think you could maybe add a
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: little bit more death depth. That would be the one.
• 18:55
  Speaker 4: Let's go take a break here for the first time
• 18:57

  Speaker 2: nice weather, not so hot. I just want to say
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: thank you man for hooking us up with those tickets
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: again out in Oxnard. Always a blast coming out there,
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: and I'm already looking forward to doing it again next year.
• 20:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 20:50
  Speaker 4: And the only thing I worry about that is, you know,
• 20:54
  Speaker 4: like I was able to secure eight, but I feel
• 20:57
  Speaker 4: like this thing's going to continue to grow and grow,
• 21:00
  Speaker 4: and this person's now doing it next year, next year,
• 21:02
  Speaker 4: So it could be like and it could be tough
• 21:04
  Speaker 4: on you guys that like, hey, twenty three people want
• 21:06
  Speaker 4: to come next year.
• 21:07
  Speaker 3: That might be a that might be.
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: Well that's something where Yeah, we're talking about that too.
• 21:12
  Speaker 6: As it continues.
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: It's tough for us too, like navigating all that and
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: figuring out the lodging and like all that stuff. So
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: I mean the thickets for only one hundred bucks, I
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: mean that's not for the experience you get in the
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: VIP area for one hundred dollars, are you kidding you?
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: We've got to tap up back, get his autograph over
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: there the first day. I mean, that's worth it alone. Yeah,
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: you know, and then you get to sit in the shade.
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: You get the good view. So the VIPs are, whether
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: you got paid for or not, that's one hundred percent
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: worth it.
• 21:35
  Speaker 4: All right, all right, well then let's well but we'll see,
• 21:38
  Speaker 4: we'll see how that. You're hearing some people to say, hey,
• 21:40
  Speaker 4: next year, I'm in, I'm in next year.
• 21:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah, last year.
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: That happened last year too. Yeah, some changes for sure
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: regarding the RAMS practice. You know, I just feel like personally,
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: I'm celebrating every successful if they have defensive after what
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: we went to last year, Like everything is a celebration
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: to me, because, like I went, Nick Harris posted the
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: tell you by play, which is crazy for a scrimmage,
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: but he went and did it because he's a man,
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: And I went and charted at like a crazy person.
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: I did some you know, I did some mask like
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: I'm known to do, and I got through thirty five plays.
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: Of those thirty five plays, twenty where either tackle for
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: loss or a sack or interception or a zero three
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: yard game. So like, I remember being out there last
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: year for the joint practice with the Rams, and it
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: was like every play was like fifteen plus yards. It
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: was a joke, and we all had the excuse when
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: Mike is not there, it's vanilla, will be all right.
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: This year, it's like there's no excuses needed. Yeah, they
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: pop off some big plays now and then, but like,
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: your defense played really well in their first really live
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: action against another team, and so it's early. They're going
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: to continue to grow.
• 22:46
  Speaker 6: Obviously it was just a practice suer.
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: But man, if that's not promising, and if you're not
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: excited about that, then I don't know what will gets
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: you excited?
• 22:52
  Speaker 4: Right, Well, I mean I think that I think you've
• 22:55
  Speaker 4: said it best. I mean, like like you you understand
• 22:58
  Speaker 4: what it is and what it isn't, but also you
• 23:01
  Speaker 4: know it's it's just the time of year to just
• 23:03
  Speaker 4: be optimistic about it. You know that that's all that's
• 23:06
  Speaker 4: all that that you want, that's all you're asking for.
• 23:08
  Speaker 4: It's not tackling, you're not making you know, the touchdowns
• 23:11
  Speaker 4: or you're going out and you're you're doing what you
• 23:13
  Speaker 4: can with based with what was in front of you.
• 23:15
  Speaker 4: What was in front of them was the L A.
• 23:18
  Speaker 4: Rams and an m v P and and and the
• 23:20
  Speaker 4: super Bowl, you know, favorites and they I thought they passed.
• 23:24
  Speaker 4: You know, so that that's that's what that's what you're
• 23:27
  Speaker 4: looking for.
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so why to ask you This Saturday, I'll be
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: looking at the running backs, I think with a lot
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: of people will be doing what's what's the position group
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: or two that you'll be catching it.
• 23:36
  Speaker 4: For me, I'm not going to even try to find
• 23:39
  Speaker 4: something else. Running back is the one because it's also
• 23:42
  Speaker 4: one that you can gauge you know, what success and
• 23:45
  Speaker 4: how they block and and and how they you know,
• 23:48
  Speaker 4: how they they catch the ball out of the backfield,
• 23:50
  Speaker 4: do they hang on to the football, all of those
• 23:52
  Speaker 4: type of things, and so how they do the rotation
• 23:56
  Speaker 4: because other than Javonte Williams, I think all of them
• 23:58
  Speaker 4: need to get some reps and so it's going to
• 24:00
  Speaker 4: be a challenge to see who all gets some of
• 24:03
  Speaker 4: those those carries.
• 24:04
  Speaker 3: And I throw a Hunter lopkey in there.
• 24:05
  Speaker 4: I don't need to see that many carries from Hunter
• 24:07
  Speaker 4: looky out there, but I do want to see Blue,
• 24:11
  Speaker 4: and I want to see MafA and Leak Davis and
• 24:13
  Speaker 4: and Abana Kanda and anyone else they want to throw
• 24:17
  Speaker 4: out there. Might feel like I'm missed one Blues.
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: Blue's a curious case because he's been playing really well.
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: It's kind of locked up and now I'm like, well,
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: you had two pumbles that I heard against. So that
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: was his concern all along and that always.
• 24:29
  Speaker 6: But I got to pick that up and we'll see
• 24:31
  Speaker 6: where it goes for sure.
• 24:32
  Speaker 4: But running back would be the one that I would,
• 24:35
  Speaker 4: you know, look at, and then you know the safeties,
• 24:38
  Speaker 4: that's another position, uh, because I think I think those
• 24:42
  Speaker 4: two positions have enough players that have done enough you know,
• 24:46
  Speaker 4: promising things that you can't keep them all, you know,
• 24:50
  Speaker 4: you you you can't keep them at receiver, we haven't
• 24:52
  Speaker 4: really been there yet as far as too many players
• 24:57
  Speaker 4: that have that have done all these great things that
• 25:00
  Speaker 4: there's not enough spots for. You can argue that a
• 25:03
  Speaker 4: little bit because Camden Brown's kind of jumping into the mix.
• 25:05
  Speaker 4: But as far as running back goes, there's just you
• 25:09
  Speaker 4: see that you're like, oh, that's good play out of
• 25:11
  Speaker 4: Blue MafA Lake Davis.
• 25:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah, then oh a ban of Conda.
• 25:14
  Speaker 4: Well, there's not enough running backs for all of that,
• 25:16
  Speaker 4: especially if you're gonna keep Hunter Lipkey in the.
• 25:18
  Speaker 3: Role that he has.
• 25:19
  Speaker 4: So that in safety too, I mean between Julius Wood
• 25:22
  Speaker 4: and Marquise Bell and thirty eight I forget him his name,
• 25:28
  Speaker 4: Elizah Clark. Sorry, those guys, between all of them, with
• 25:33
  Speaker 4: what you already have on the front end there at safety,
• 25:36
  Speaker 4: it's gonna be, you know, challenging to keep those. So
• 25:38
  Speaker 4: the positions that seem like they have some quality depth
• 25:42
  Speaker 4: running back in safety, those are the two positions I'll
• 25:44
  Speaker 4: be looking at the most. All right, let let's go
• 25:48
  Speaker 4: back to the phone line. Chris helped me out here.
• 25:51
  Speaker 4: We got Harold, Harold and Pennsylvania. Harold, what's up, man, Well,
• 25:56
  Speaker 4: how are you?
• 25:58
  Speaker 6: Oh? I'm doing okay, all right, I just I just
• 26:01
  Speaker 6: wanted to comment on what Linda Wells said about Ferguson's
• 26:05
  Speaker 6: lack of the yardage. Okay, he had to stay in
• 26:08
  Speaker 6: and help walkers tackled so much, he wasn't able to
• 26:11
  Speaker 6: get down the field. That's why he didn't have a
• 26:13
  Speaker 6: lot of yards. Yeah, that's what Linda well said. So
• 26:17
  Speaker 6: I keep hearing everybody hitting him on those yards on
• 26:21
  Speaker 6: that with all the catches. But if you got to
• 26:24
  Speaker 6: help the tackles, which unfortunately so far we do because
• 26:28
  Speaker 6: our tackles aren't that good.
• 26:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Well, and that's except.
• 26:32
  Speaker 6: Except Steele as a run blocker. He's a road grader.
• 26:34
  Speaker 6: Is a run blocker?
• 26:36
  Speaker 4: Yeah, no, he is, he is. And yeah, I think
• 26:39
  Speaker 4: I think you make good points. I think Linda Wells
• 26:42
  Speaker 4: makes a good point there. The starting position is it
• 26:45
  Speaker 4: was back there, you know, deeper, closer to the line
• 26:48
  Speaker 4: of scrimmage, more of a check down, you know, dump
• 26:51
  Speaker 4: off type pass.
• 26:53
  Speaker 3: Still around five yards though, I I that can be better.
• 26:57
  Speaker 4: I mean, we're not nitpicking here, just saying, you know,
• 27:00
  Speaker 4: he's a two time pro bowler, he's a really good player,
• 27:03
  Speaker 4: but that is something that can get you know, you
• 27:05
  Speaker 4: can get up there a little bit. Jason Witten average
• 27:08
  Speaker 4: for most of his career in the ten or eleven range,
• 27:11
  Speaker 4: and so athletically, I think Ferguson is was is a
• 27:16
  Speaker 4: better athlete than than what wouldn't it. So there's there's
• 27:19
  Speaker 4: parts of his game that can improve. That's all. That's
• 27:21
  Speaker 4: all we're saying. But yeah, I mean, if you got
• 27:23
  Speaker 4: to stay in there and block, that's going to change
• 27:25
  Speaker 4: what you know. It's not like Tony Gonzalez had to
• 27:28
  Speaker 4: do that, you know, or Kelsey. I mean they get
• 27:31
  Speaker 4: to go run routes. So all right, Harold, still there.
• 27:36
  Speaker 4: Thanks for the call, Harold, appreciate it.
• 27:38
  Speaker 3: Get more.
• 27:39
  Speaker 6: Okay, I just wanted to say something about Blue. I'd
• 27:43
  Speaker 6: love to see him go. But he's got to hang
• 27:44
  Speaker 6: on to that football. Yeah, I mean, he didn't do
• 27:47
  Speaker 6: it in college. Look like he's going to doing a
• 27:50
  Speaker 6: pross those fun bulls in the scrimmage.
• 27:53
  Speaker 4: It's if you if you can't hang onto the ball,
• 27:55
  Speaker 4: it's not you're not gonna be worth it.
• 27:57
  Speaker 3: I mean, simple as that.
• 27:59
  Speaker 4: So now, but you know, I still think that you know,
• 28:03
  Speaker 4: he needs to you continue to grow as a player
• 28:05
  Speaker 4: as well, continue to work on some of those things
• 28:08
  Speaker 4: and how to hang on to the ball and how
• 28:10
  Speaker 4: to carry it and and all all those things. So
• 28:12
  Speaker 4: you know, I don't think anyone's given up on him,
• 28:14
  Speaker 4: and just because of you know, he put the ball
• 28:16
  Speaker 4: on the ground twice. But but yeah, I mean he's
• 28:19
  Speaker 4: there's there's all the little things, the little things, how
• 28:22
  Speaker 4: you carry the football, little things matter, you know, a
• 28:25
  Speaker 4: great deal. So he's he's gonna he has to continue
• 28:27
  Speaker 4: to mature as a player. That's that's simple as that.
• 28:31
  Speaker 4: All right, Harold, thank you for the call. Let's keep
• 28:34
  Speaker 4: it rolling. Here We've got Drew in flag Staff, Arizona.
• 28:38
  Speaker 3: Drew.
• 28:40
  Speaker 13: Hey, this is Drew, pretty excited.
• 28:44
  Speaker 3: Hey Nick, all right, here we go.
• 28:47
  Speaker 13: Long time listener, Thank you. I wanted to hear that
• 28:49
  Speaker 13: for a long time. All right, But yeah, we.
• 28:52
  Speaker 3: Don't have our drops machine like we normally.
• 28:54
  Speaker 13: Yeah, yeah, but right on, yeah, long times Cowboys fans
• 29:01
  Speaker 13: up here in the northern part of Arizona.
• 29:02
  Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, we're gonna be up there.
• 29:06
  Speaker 4: I got or all down there. We're gonna be in Arizona.
• 29:08
  Speaker 4: I'm not really sure how close that is, but.
• 29:11
  Speaker 13: A couple of hours, a couple hours south of us.
• 29:13
  Speaker 3: Are you going to the game.
• 29:16
  Speaker 13: I've been going to the Cardinal games. You never hadn't
• 29:19
  Speaker 13: had any look in a bit?
• 29:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah for sure.
• 29:22
  Speaker 13: Frustrating.
• 29:23
  Speaker 4: Yeah, nothing, nothing good happens there. It seems like I mean,
• 29:26
  Speaker 4: it's fun to fun to go. I like the stadium,
• 29:29
  Speaker 4: I like the trip, not too far from Dallas all
• 29:31
  Speaker 4: that stuff. But yeah, there's you can expect some weirdness
• 29:34
  Speaker 4: when you go there for sure.
• 29:36
  Speaker 5: Preseason season, Yeah, definitely, definitely.
• 29:39
  Speaker 13: Yeah, it might make it on our calendar, but yeah,
• 29:43
  Speaker 13: we'll see. But no, My question was, what do you
• 29:48
  Speaker 13: think the chances are of Siyaj Pete the offensive tackle
• 29:53
  Speaker 13: might be sticking out on the practice team Because I'm
• 29:56
  Speaker 13: from the thenand Nation Naval Nation, just like he is,
• 29:59
  Speaker 13: and we have this huge fan base up here in
• 30:02
  Speaker 13: northern Arizona, and we'd be pretty stoked to see someone
• 30:05
  Speaker 13: from our own youth the team. It'd be tough, but
• 30:08
  Speaker 13: wanted to gets your take on it. Okay, I take
• 30:12
  Speaker 13: this off line, but I am. I'm so glad I
• 30:14
  Speaker 13: got to chat with you. Yeah, such an honor.
• 30:16
  Speaker 3: Think Well, thanks for the call. I appreciate it.
• 30:18
  Speaker 4: We need, we need you know, he doesn't matter if
• 30:22
  Speaker 4: you call all the time or a first time caller
• 30:24
  Speaker 4: or whatever. We need the listeners to to, you know,
• 30:28
  Speaker 4: keep this thing going. So we appreciate those that are
• 30:30
  Speaker 4: out there that say, man, in my work schedule, I
• 30:33
  Speaker 4: never I never can call her. I always have to listen,
• 30:36
  Speaker 4: you know, offline and and and you know the on
• 30:39
  Speaker 4: demand version. You guys are just as needed as anybody else.
• 30:42
  Speaker 4: So thank you for that, and thank you for the call.
• 30:44
  Speaker 4: Now ask for Pete.
• 30:47
  Speaker 13: Uh.
• 30:47
  Speaker 4: You know it's a challenge for him, and there's no
• 30:50
  Speaker 4: doubt about it. This is this is he's he's at
• 30:54
  Speaker 4: the bottom I think of the depth chart. Uh and
• 30:57
  Speaker 4: and maybe even you could say that for the ninety
• 30:59
  Speaker 4: one and roster, he's he's down there. He's got a
• 31:02
  Speaker 4: lot of work to do. You would when you look
• 31:05
  Speaker 4: for you know, when they're signing players and stuff, they
• 31:08
  Speaker 4: look for traits. I mean you look out the size
• 31:10
  Speaker 4: he's got. He's got the trades for sure. He's got
• 31:13
  Speaker 4: to continue to to to get better with the feet,
• 31:15
  Speaker 4: with the hands, with the recognition, as smart as a
• 31:19
  Speaker 4: whip and a joy to talk to. I mean really
• 31:23
  Speaker 4: like like his press conference that he had. He you,
• 31:26
  Speaker 4: you couldn't find a more like respectable young man.
• 31:31
  Speaker 3: That is just I wouldn't.
• 31:33
  Speaker 4: I really want to say happy to be here because
• 31:36
  Speaker 4: that that that has a different kind of connotation to it,
• 31:39
  Speaker 4: like he's happy to be here and work work hard,
• 31:42
  Speaker 4: though he's just grateful for the opportunity.
• 31:44
  Speaker 3: You know, you're gonna get his best. Is it gonna
• 31:47
  Speaker 3: be enough? I don't know.
• 31:49
  Speaker 4: I think for him, the best, the best thing he
• 31:51
  Speaker 4: could hope for his practice squad, just because he needs
• 31:55
  Speaker 4: those reps. He needs to kind of continue to get better.
• 32:00
  Speaker 4: And I could see that happening. I could see the
• 32:02
  Speaker 4: Cowboys keeping him on the practice squad because of that.
• 32:05
  Speaker 4: He played football and played college trouble. But the Isaac
• 32:08
  Speaker 4: outer Cone type of comparison is where I think Pete
• 32:14
  Speaker 4: is right now. And I've I've kind of heard some
• 32:16
  Speaker 4: things that he's it's an uphill battle for him for sure,
• 32:19
  Speaker 4: but he'll continue to work and you know, he's a
• 32:23
  Speaker 4: guy that I'd like to see his progress a little
• 32:26
  Speaker 4: bit more too.
• 32:27
  Speaker 3: All right, let's go, let's see we can go Randy
• 32:30
  Speaker 3: text or Canada.
• 32:35
  Speaker 14: And that guy that you were just talking about, he
• 32:37
  Speaker 14: definitely shots at the big and tall, that's true. Did
• 32:41
  Speaker 14: you imagine him being a full back? Tak him off
• 32:43
  Speaker 14: the line, just making him a full back, just blow
• 32:46
  Speaker 14: people up.
• 32:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't think they could. They could see. I mean,
• 32:49
  Speaker 3: they wouldn't be able to see the running back. He
• 32:52
  Speaker 3: just hides. Running back would hide behind him.
• 32:54
  Speaker 14: He could get on his back like a backpack. And
• 32:57
  Speaker 14: where's he at.
• 32:58
  Speaker 15: He's in the end zone.
• 33:00
  Speaker 4: Well, I know, you know, going back to Pete, I
• 33:03
  Speaker 4: I know, you know, I asked about him early in
• 33:05
  Speaker 4: the off season and Rooky camps and and he you know,
• 33:10
  Speaker 4: it was it was a grind for him, you.
• 33:13
  Speaker 3: Know, but it still will be. It'll it'll be. It'll
• 33:16
  Speaker 3: be tough.
• 33:17
  Speaker 4: But uh hey, I think he's got great work ethic,
• 33:19
  Speaker 4: and I think that he'll, you know, if he's got
• 33:21
  Speaker 4: some of those traits I'm talking about, he can keep
• 33:24
  Speaker 4: you know, refining those.
• 33:26
  Speaker 3: Maybe he's got he's got a shot.
• 33:27
  Speaker 14: So yeah, So my question is is the opposite the
• 33:31
  Speaker 14: big man, it's the little man in the middle Phoebe.
• 33:35
  Speaker 14: We know he's extremely intelligent, we know he's good all
• 33:38
  Speaker 14: the above, but do you think his size may cause
• 33:43
  Speaker 14: the two guards to have to help him in the
• 33:46
  Speaker 14: middle because I was thinking if we had a large
• 33:50
  Speaker 14: center that could hold his own, then maybe our two
• 33:53
  Speaker 14: guards could help our tackles, which seems to beat the talk.
• 33:57
  Speaker 3: Right. That's a great question, great question.
• 34:00
  Speaker 4: You know, it's funny how how we're at a point
• 34:02
  Speaker 4: where we're talking about bb being being small. You know, like,
• 34:06
  Speaker 4: like what he's no doubt right, he's a big offensive
• 34:08
  Speaker 4: line NFL start right, right, But no, I mean, I
• 34:12
  Speaker 4: I get your point. I think that you know, for him,
• 34:16
  Speaker 4: and I said it earlier about comparing guys of the
• 34:18
  Speaker 4: nineties and all that, but I you know, if you're
• 34:21
  Speaker 4: if his technique is there and sound, he'll he'll be
• 34:25
  Speaker 4: just fine. I mean, and I compare about Mark Stepanowski
• 34:28
  Speaker 4: was that way who one of the smallest guys on
• 34:30
  Speaker 4: the offensive line, but he could move anybody. He could
• 34:33
  Speaker 4: move you know, the big you know, Jerome Browns of
• 34:35
  Speaker 4: the world are around, uh if needed, just because of technique.
• 34:39
  Speaker 4: So that's where Bebe's got to be at his best.
• 34:43
  Speaker 4: You have seen both sides of that.
• 34:44
  Speaker 6: You know.
• 34:44
  Speaker 4: Andre Girod was a big center that was over three
• 34:47
  Speaker 4: three twenty three thirty and he made Pro Bowls and.
• 34:50
  Speaker 3: He was good.
• 34:50
  Speaker 4: But but you know BB does it a different way,
• 34:53
  Speaker 4: but I don't know if it's necessarily having to help
• 34:55
  Speaker 4: him that much. You may not be as dominant as
• 34:58
  Speaker 4: you wanted to be, but I still think that's the strength.
• 35:02
  Speaker 4: I think those three guys right in the center are
• 35:04
  Speaker 4: going to be the strength of this offense. If they
• 35:06
  Speaker 4: can move. Yeah, if they if they can do that,
• 35:09
  Speaker 4: and you're right, maybe you know, he had no problems
• 35:12
  Speaker 4: doing that in college. I think he was he was
• 35:14
  Speaker 4: you know, he could pancake people and stuff like that.
• 35:16
  Speaker 4: I think he's he's big enough, I really do. Yeah,
• 35:19
  Speaker 4: his technique though, it's got to be great. And you know,
• 35:22
  Speaker 4: shotgun snaps is a big thing too. So uh and
• 35:26
  Speaker 4: and they've they've been really good. I think there's a
• 35:28
  Speaker 4: lot that's needed to be a great center and he's
• 35:31
  Speaker 4: got those tools. He really does. And so uh Dak
• 35:35
  Speaker 4: Dak talked about him the other day. Both times that
• 35:37
  Speaker 4: Dak has talked, he's talked about BB and and how
• 35:40
  Speaker 4: he thinks that Bbe's kind of his his game is
• 35:43
  Speaker 4: taken to another level. So if that happens, who would
• 35:46
  Speaker 4: know more than Dak?
• 35:47
  Speaker 3: Who you know?
• 35:48
  Speaker 14: I was about to say that's a positive because he's
• 35:50
  Speaker 14: gonna send the most time with him, So yeah, he's
• 35:52
  Speaker 14: he's If he wasn't saying anything at all, that's right.
• 35:56

  Speaker 3: Awesome, awesome. All right, what's your question? You got any
• 37:59
  Speaker 3: question or comment?
• 38:01
  Speaker 15: So comparing to the Legends of Safety is that we've had?
• 38:06
  Speaker 15: You know, Darren Woodson still hasn't been inducted into the
• 38:08
  Speaker 15: Hall of Fame. Which safety do you feel like has
• 38:13
  Speaker 15: the greatest outside right now? Besides downs? Everybody's talking about
• 38:17
  Speaker 15: downs right now. Sure, which safety do you feel like
• 38:21
  Speaker 15: it is going to take that next step this year?
• 38:23
  Speaker 3: Yeah? All right, thanks for the call.
• 38:25
  Speaker 4: You know, that's a good question because it is a
• 38:28
  Speaker 4: very deep position right now, because you've got everything you
• 38:32
  Speaker 4: would want at that position. You know, if if you
• 38:34
  Speaker 4: were you know, the safety's coach, You're like, all right,
• 38:36
  Speaker 4: what do you have? Well, I'd like to have like
• 38:38
  Speaker 4: a blue chip, top, top of the line safety that
• 38:41
  Speaker 4: is could be a cornerstone for your defense.
• 38:43
  Speaker 3: And a quarterback. Okay, well how about Caleb Downs to check?
• 38:45
  Speaker 3: All right?
• 38:46
  Speaker 4: I want a veteran that's been around, it's seen you
• 38:48
  Speaker 4: know everything. Well, how about Malee Cooker? Okay, check? I
• 38:51
  Speaker 4: want to I want to you know, kind of another
• 38:53
  Speaker 4: veteran guy that understands the system and and he's an
• 38:56
  Speaker 4: up and comer as well, and you know he could
• 38:59
  Speaker 4: be a really good player. How about Jalen Thompson Okay,
• 39:01
  Speaker 4: check because he knows the system. There with Ryan Smith,
• 39:04
  Speaker 4: another guy that that's a that's a veteran, been around
• 39:07
  Speaker 4: and on a contract year and and and PJ lot cool.
• 39:10
  Speaker 4: Now I need some young guys, need some young hungry
• 39:12
  Speaker 4: guys wanting to to to play well and and make
• 39:15
  Speaker 4: this team. Well, I've got Elijah Clark, I've got Julius Wood.
• 39:19
  Speaker 4: How about a Swiss army knife type guy that can
• 39:21
  Speaker 4: do different things and also play spressure teams.
• 39:23
  Speaker 3: Well, I got Marque Spell. So you got you got
• 39:25
  Speaker 3: a lot of position.
• 39:26
  Speaker 4: You had a lot of guys there at safety that
• 39:28
  Speaker 4: that checked all the boxes. So that's what makes that
• 39:31
  Speaker 4: position so interesting. So, uh, if I had to answer
• 39:34
  Speaker 4: your question, I would say, Jaalen Thompson. I think Thompson.
• 39:36
  Speaker 4: You know, that's why they signed him in a free agency.
• 39:38
  Speaker 4: You know, they signed him with the thought that he
• 39:40
  Speaker 4: was going to be, you know, the guy and without
• 39:43
  Speaker 4: even getting Caleb downs. But I think he's been he's
• 39:46
  Speaker 4: been injured. I think he's he's a guy that's still
• 39:48
  Speaker 4: under the radar a little bit, has a chance to
• 39:50
  Speaker 4: take this defense to another level. All right, Well, I
• 39:53
  Speaker 4: appreciate the calls. We've got ten callers. Uh, you guys
• 39:56
  Speaker 4: were awesome, and we will do it again next week.

• 40:03
