  Speaker 1: The following is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: Cowboys.
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: This is these Cowboys storylines with Nick Eatman.
• 0:27
  Speaker 3: What is up? It is time for another Cowboys Storyline edition.
• 0:31
  Speaker 3: It's Monday afternoon here as the Cowboys are done with
• 0:35
  Speaker 3: the preseason. We've got one week to go until it's
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: game week and then all bullets are flying at that
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: point and the week one will start Cowboys and Giants talk.
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: We've had some storylines here in the neck in the
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: last forty eight hours, seventy two hours, the entire weekend.
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: That was one of the craziest preseason finales that I
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: can remember in a long time. I'm and a lot
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: of a lot of things to discuss, and let's just
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: get right to it. I mean, the trade for Trey
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: Lance caught me by surprise. I had caught I think
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: everybody a little bit by surprise, even the Cowboys to
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: the to the extent of they they said, Jerry said,
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: we didn't want to get off the phone.
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: With the forty nine ers, they were they were fine
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: with the compensation. That's probably the one thing that that
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: any fan or or any critic of the trade would
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: would say is that the Cowboys maybe gave up too
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: much for a quarterback that who knows how that's going
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: to turn out. But that's kind of what you do, right,
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: I mean, that's that's what you you always do as
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: you as you you try to project what you think
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: you can get out of the player, and and then
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: you do that when when he's a rookie. You do
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: that when you're trading for someone. So me personally, I'll
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: just I'll just throw my two cents. I have a
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: story on the website, may still be on the right
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: side of our of our new we have so much
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: going on. But it basically was a column that said,
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: here's five reasons to like this move. And I wrote
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: it during the game, which is always fun to do
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: in a preseason game. But you can get away with
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: that in the third preseason game. I some of the
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: reasons there. It's just a it's a free look. I
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: say free. You have to take his contract, but it's
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: a look of a guy that was a top top
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: three pick overall. Should he have been picked third overall?
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: Probably not, probably not, but he was. He's he's got
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: some talent. I think the Cowboys had pretty high grade
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: on him. I don't know if it was a first round,
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: maybe a second, but you know, they they saw that
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: the talent as well, and they wanted to develop a
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: young quarterback. And you can do that when you have
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: you know, you have Dak Prescott, you have Cooper Rush,
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: and here's a chance to do that. Think of it
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: like this. Think of it as Dak is going to
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: be the quarterback next year. Nothing changes, and they want
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: to draft a quarterback. They say they want to take one,
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: an athletic guy that needs work in the fourth round.
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: So that's what they did. Instead of getting him next year,
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: you get him this year and he gets to develop
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: all year, be on the scout team, learn from the room,
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: and maybe he plays some. I mean they hope not,
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: but he could. And so next year he's your guy.
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: Now he's a four point five million dollars, so I
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: think the goal would be for him to be the
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: backup quarterback next season. Cooper Rush's contract would probably be
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: around that. I think at that point, the cap HiT's
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: going to be around three to four million. If they
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: can switch that out, you know, and and he's the
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: backup next year, that's what you're paying for a backup
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: quarterback one that that has a lot of upside. That's
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: that's what I'm thinking there, and you're doing it for
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: a fourth round pick, so I think it's a it
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: was a good move. I'm fine with it. Yeah, I
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: thought they might trade for something that might help them
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: more this year, but that's what they chose to do,
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: and I'm I'm all good with that. So that's one
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: of the big storylines. I would imagine some of the questions,
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: uh and calls. Hopefully we get some calls here, one eight, eight, eight,
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: five five to two nine seven. I want to hear
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: from you guys. I want to hear what you think
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: about the trade. Also in the text line eight one seven,
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: two nine zero three two nine eight, We've got some
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: text messages already rolling in there, so we can we
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: can kind of get to that. Let's see if I
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: can get one on I said, dex future. Actually, I'll
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: come back to that in a little bit. This is
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: more about awesome Richards. Let's go back. Let's go back
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: to some of the storylines. Obviously, the another big one
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: will be the cuts that happen tomorrow. The Cowboys will
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: get down to fifty three players by three eight pm
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: on Tuesday. It won't won't be straight cuts. I think
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: what ninety to fifty three they'll be, you know, that's
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: what thirty seven guys mostly will be cuts. There will
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: be some that, you know, like Ronald Jones goes to
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: the suspension list. We'll see what they do with Josh Ball.
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: Looks like he could be out for an extended period
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: of time. The interesting thing there, if you're not familiar
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: with the rules, is that if you can put a
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: guy on injured reserve to return, but he's got to
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: be on the roster for one day. So if they
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: decide they want to keep Josh Ball the availability for
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: him to come back at some point, then he does
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: have to be on the roster for a day. To
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: do that, you you probably will cut a vested veteran
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: that you feel confident you can get back or you
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: have an agreement with. They've done that in the past
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: with a long snapper Jake McQuaid and CJ. Goodwin. You
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: could do that again with the long snapper Trent Sieg
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: and maybe CJ. Goodwin again if you wanted to do that,
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: If you wanted to get Josh Ball and make sure
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: that he would be a guy that they could come
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: back after his injury. It looks like he has like
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: a hip strain there that's going to be out reportedly
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: maybe two months. We'll see what Mike McCarthy says in
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: his press conference today. So, uh, roster cuts. You know,
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: Brendan Aubrey, does he make the team as the kicker?
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: I think he does. I think he's done what you've
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: asked him to do. Would like to have seen a
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: little bit more. I want to see the mid range kicks.
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: You know, he missed an extra point, He's missed a
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: fifty nine yard er. He's made a fifty nine yarder.
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: That's that is not what what what will define you
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: as a kicker though. What defines you as a kicker
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: is can you make a forty four yard field goal
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: on the road? Can you can you make all your
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: extra points? Can you do those type of things? And
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: he didn't get a chance to see that. But I
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: don't think they're going to I think they're gonna make
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: the move and keep them. Now, what's what's the least
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: to look like? Probably not that long for him. I
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: would think if he struggles even in the first game,
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: I think they would probably find another option. I mean,
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: that's just kind of where it is. That's what you
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: can do with Kicker. You don't have then there's no
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: playbook to learn. You just come in and you kick.
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: So I do think that that he will be the
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: guy that goes to New York. I don't see that
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: happening them making a move right now. But that doesn't
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: necessarily mean that that he'll be here forever. I mean,
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: that's that's the nature of the of that position there
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: at Kicker. So okay, let's let's move on to questions.
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: Trying to find a question here about Dak, he says,
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: I had. This one's from Dan from Philly. He says
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: on Lance it's a fourth round flyer, just like Dak
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: was years ago. True, I mean, fourth round, that's what
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: the fourth round is. I think that position in the
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: round is always that way. I mean it's it's always
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: it's the one round that seems like you can get
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: really really great players and you also can get busts.
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: It happens in all the rounds, third round, second round,
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: But it just seems like the high to low is
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: is none greater in the fourth round. And because I
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: went back and looked at a fourth round picks, and
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: there have been some good ones. I mean, you think
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: about the last four franchise tags the Cowboys have given
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: out are to fourth round picks Tony Pollard, Dalton Schultz,
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: Dak Prescott twice. So yes, good good players in the
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: fourth round. Charles Tapper was also a fourth round pick,
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: drafted ahead of Dak that year. B W Webb Dooran's
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: armstrong good, you know, really good player. I mean it
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: for every for every Dak, there's a Charles Tapper, and
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: that's what you're doing here in the fourth round. I mean,
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: maybe maybe this quarterback is going to be, you know,
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: a really good player. Maybe it doesn't pan out. They
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: got to figure out a fifth year option on him
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: and all that kind of stuff, but I think it
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: was just worth trying. And Jerry said it the other day.
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: I mean he said, they try this plan a lot.
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: They've tried it with They try to do it as
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: much as they can. They were going to draft Jalen
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: Hurt what was it three years ago. They were going
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: to draft him in probably the third round or so Dak.
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: That had nothing to do with Dak. They just they
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: wanted to develop young quarterbacks. They really liked him. They
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: probably weren't gonna do it in the second. They were
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: probably gonna wait to the third, maybe the fourth. He
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: didn't last that long, obviously, and now we all know
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: that's he's one of the biggest you know, uh pains
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: in the Cowboys side right now because they're gonna have
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: to deal with him. And he's a great player, and
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: they liked him, and not sure what that would have
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: meant for Dak and all that, but they did.
• 9:32
  Speaker 4: Uh.
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: They they've done this plan a lot. This other question
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: that Dan from Philly had was to semi Fojoco, Bohanna, Cox,
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: and Joseph survive cut day. It's going straight in on it, right,
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: all four of them? No, No, I'll just answer that.
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: Do they all four together as a group? No, they
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: don't all four make it each guy, semi Fojoko, Bohanna Cox,
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: and Joseph. I think if I and as someone asked
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: me the other day, if I was gonna do a
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: fifty three man projection, and that probably takes the whole show,
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: and I figured, with all the news happened, I wouldn't
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: do that. It's not gonna have a long shelf life
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: because news will start trickling out some today maybe tomorrow.
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: If I were to do a fifty three man projection
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: of what I would do right now for Semi Fajoko,
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: Bohanna Cox and Joseph neither of those four would make
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: the team for me, maybe Jabril Cox. But I'm here
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: and that that's going to be a close one. I mean,
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: the thing about him, he didn't really do a whole lot,
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: didn't make a lot of plays this year. But it's
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: a thin position at linebacker, so you better have you
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: better have some some other option if it's not going
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: to be from him. So, uh, well, we'll see how
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: how that, how that happens with with the cuts next
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: or tomorrow. But of those four guys, now I don't
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: I don't see that happening. Uh, But there's always gonna
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: be some surprises, so we'll see. We'll see what happens there.
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: All right, Umm, let's go with uh which Tall Kansas
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: with Starl Kansas is from Jay hen Is? What stat
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: line for Deuce Vaughan would you consider a good return
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: on investment for keeping him on the fifty three man
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: roster this year? What stat line he'll need? A stat line? Honestly,
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: I don't. I wouldn't. I don't think you have to
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: justify it that way. Is he a playmaker that that
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: other teams have to account for? If if he is,
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: if he's a guy that you're like, Okay, watch this guy,
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: watch watch Vaughan. They'd like to do this with them
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: and this, and uh, he's tough to find and locate
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: and when he does, he can make plays and all that.
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: And if he's if he's that guy, then that's good enough.
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: That's what you need. That's what this team needs. They
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: need players that can that can make plays. You can
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: throw any kind of stats you want on there, but
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: just just be a guy that that the other teams
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: are are worrying about. If he's that, then that's good enough.
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: He'll make the stats will come, the stats will be there.
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: But if he's somebody that you can pair up with
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: Tony Pollard and he can line him out and do
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: some things, then whatever he is, if he's on the
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: field and he's playned, he's good enough to be a
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: guy you put on offense. That's good enough for me.
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: All right, let's go, let's take a quick break real
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: quick and let me figure out some of these questions.
• 12:18

  Speaker 3: of Cowboys storyline. I'm Nick Eatman, and we are going
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: through the questions here on the text inbox and got
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: the open phone lines one eight eight eight five five
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: two two ninety seven. Let me know what you think
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: about the Trey Lance move like you like it hate it.
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: I really don't understand anyone that would hate it. I
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: just think you know it's there's there's in anything the
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: Cowboys do. You can either you know, like it, love it, whatever,
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: and they get criticized for it. But in this case,
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: you know, you're just trying to You're not only looking
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: at this year. See, That's that's what I think a
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: lot of people do get caught up on instead of thinking,
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: all right, how are we going to do this year, how
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: we're gonna beat the giants? All this kind of stuff,
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: which is what the Cowboys are focused on but you
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: also you're not going to ignore situations of you know,
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: can can we get better down the road? Can this
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: be a guy? Would this be worth it to take
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: a flyer on this guy and see if if if
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: Trey Lance can you know, can figure it out in Dallas?
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: And and you know he's been injured a little bit.
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: I think he's going to be able to help on
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: the scout team this year, you know, and that's he's
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: an athletic quarterback. They're going to face some athletic quarterbacks
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: as well, so that that's a plus for this year.
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: Plus he'll he'll learn, he'll get better. Does he play
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: in games? Who knows? Now. There's also been a lot
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: of talk too about Jerry and and and talking to
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: Dak about this move. And I got asked on the
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: radio this morning when I one five to three of
• 16:05
  Speaker 3: the fan in Dallas get asked about where do I
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: fall on that? And I think it's a tricky one
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: because on one hand, yes, Jerry, he's the GM, he's the
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: owner and GM he can do whatever he wants. He
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: didn't have to ask anybody's opinion on this, And especially
• 16:20
  Speaker 3: when you're trying to do something quickly. You don't want to,
• 16:22
  Speaker 3: you don't wanna you know, have a competitive disadvantage, and
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: you got him on the phone. Let's let's, you know,
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: get it done. So I could definitely see that point.
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: But let's not forget that Dak does get treated differently.
• 16:37
  Speaker 3: They they ask him to go look at players in
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: the draft, receivers. He talked to Jalen Tolbert before they
• 16:43
  Speaker 3: even drafted him. They want his opinion and valuate these guys.
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: He was calling plays the other night. That's not what coaches,
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: I mean, quarterbacks have to do all the time when
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: they're not playing in the game. So my point is
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: is they do value his opinion. So in this particular
• 16:59
  Speaker 3: case they didn't do it. That's fine. But also I
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: wouldn't just stop it cold on. He's the GM, he
• 17:05
  Speaker 3: could do what he wants because they do ask Dak's
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: opinion there. So I don't know if Dak was upset
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: by that. He was definitely not feeling great the other
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: night after the game, he wasn't in in his best mood.
• 17:17
  Speaker 3: I think it had more to do with Will Greer
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: than anybody else. All right, let's go to a question
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: here from Kevin from Woodbridge, Virginia. He said, why is
• 17:28
  Speaker 3: everyone getting so worked up about this trade? Trey is here,
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: sit and learn. Think of Jordan Love sitting behind Aaron
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: Rodgers for three years. He's got three years potentially left
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: on his rookie deal. He cost us a fourth round pick.
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: This is a good thing. If Dak responds the way
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: Aaron responded to Love, all of this, well, it will
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: be for good TV chatter, nothing more. Let's hope Dak
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: doesn't respond like Aaron Rodgers did. Let's hope that that
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: doesn't happen, because that was messy. And then now he's
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: sitting with someone else with the Jets. I mean, I
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: don't know if this Jordan Love comparison is really a
• 18:01
  Speaker 3: good one. I get the point about guys waiting, but
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: is Jordan Love good like? I don't know when we're
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: gonna find out. I have a feeling that the Packers
• 18:10
  Speaker 3: will not be as good as the Jets, so that probably.
• 18:14
  Speaker 3: I mean what I'm saying is I think Aaron Rodgers
• 18:16
  Speaker 3: Jill has something left and they're moving on, and I
• 18:19
  Speaker 3: get you have to move on, but I don't know
• 18:22
  Speaker 3: if this is If this is a good that's a
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: good comparison. Yes, players take time to learn and get better.
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: Aaron Rodgers is an example, maybe more than just Jordan Love,
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: Aaron Rodgers, Tony Romo. I mean, guys sit and they
• 18:36
  Speaker 3: they can benefit from that. But most of the time,
• 18:38
  Speaker 3: when you're drafted that high, you've got to come in
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: and play right now. And that's always the case. I mean,
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: look at the NBA, NBA. This happens to NBA all
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: the time. Guy drafted top ten, he's supposed to be
• 18:50
  Speaker 3: a good player, he's thrown in there, he's not ready,
• 18:53
  Speaker 3: he ends up being a bust. He goes to another team.
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: He's there, sixth man off the bench, and he's a
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: really really good player and he plays ten twelve years.
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: But that doesn't work if you draft him in the
• 19:02
  Speaker 3: top ten. It's the same with guards Leonard Davis, Robert Gallery.
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: They were drafted so high they have to play left tackle,
• 19:08
  Speaker 3: because that's what you do when you draft someone that high.
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: They weren't good at left tackle, they got moved to guard,
• 19:14
  Speaker 3: played with a different team, and they were in a
• 19:16
  Speaker 3: better spot. So sometimes the next spot is better. Yeah,
• 19:20
  Speaker 3: you waste in draft capital, you know sometimes, but these
• 19:23
  Speaker 3: players need a different environment. And maybe that'll be the
• 19:26
  Speaker 3: case for Trey Lance. All Right, Dallas is the name
• 19:32
  Speaker 3: of this one from Yuma, Arizona. He said after Hunter
• 19:35
  Speaker 3: Lipke's performance Saturday night. Do you think he should have
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: been playing more in the first two preseason games. Do
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: you think he has a good spot on this team?
• 19:45
  Speaker 3: I would think he's probably on the practice squad. Still.
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: He did some good things with me that they're trying
• 19:52
  Speaker 3: to figure out the running back position. They're trying to
• 19:54
  Speaker 3: give touches for Deuce, They're giving touches for Malik Davis.
• 19:57
  Speaker 3: They're seeing what Rico Dadell can do. Rico Daddle's showed
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: you what he can do, and now he's on the team.
• 20:01
  Speaker 3: So I mean, where are all these where are all these
• 20:03
  Speaker 3: carries you know coming from? I mean, I think I
• 20:06
  Speaker 3: think they gave him a good opportunity there. I if
• 20:10
  Speaker 3: they're going to keep Hunter lip g I don't see
• 20:12
  Speaker 3: them keeping four tight ends, So something's got to give there.
• 20:17
  Speaker 3: He does have linebacker build and that, and they're short
• 20:20
  Speaker 3: on linebackers, so he could help you in the pre
• 20:22
  Speaker 3: in the special teams. But I don't really foresee I
• 20:28
  Speaker 3: don't I don't know if he makes it really, I
• 20:30
  Speaker 3: think he's a practice squad guy again, and I've said this,
• 20:32
  Speaker 3: I think on the mail bag this morning. The roster
• 20:35
  Speaker 3: cut is not like it used to be. Used to
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: just be this really big deal. You cut down to
• 20:39
  Speaker 3: fifty three and then you add seven guys on your
• 20:44
  Speaker 3: practice squad whatever. But now you're adding sixteen guys to
• 20:47
  Speaker 3: your practice squad, and more than anything, you can move
• 20:51
  Speaker 3: them up on game day, so they're all still part
• 20:53
  Speaker 3: of the family and you've got you know, almost seventy
• 20:58
  Speaker 3: guys to work with. You could cut a player right now,
• 21:01
  Speaker 3: he's on your practice squad. He could play in the
• 21:03
  Speaker 3: Giants game. So it's not as it's not as dramatic
• 21:07
  Speaker 3: as it used to be the cutdown day. So that's that,
• 21:10
  Speaker 3: and that's good. That's a good thing. I mean, I
• 21:12
  Speaker 3: like the rule. I mean, there's nothing wrong with it.
• 21:14
  Speaker 3: I just I just think it's probably one that it was.
• 21:18
  Speaker 3: It was more it was much a big deal. It
• 21:20
  Speaker 3: was a big deal way back in the day than
• 21:22
  Speaker 3: it is right now. So all right, Marvin from Maryland says,
• 21:26
  Speaker 3: t Billy Johnson, that's number eighty receiver, has some veteran experience.
• 21:31
  Speaker 3: He's caught more than two balls in his NFL career.
• 21:33
  Speaker 3: How would he fit as a fifth or sixth receiver.
• 21:38
  Speaker 3: Don't think he does. Don't think he fits in here
• 21:40
  Speaker 3: for this team at that position. Showed some speed, did
• 21:44
  Speaker 3: some nice things in practice. He had a couple of
• 21:47
  Speaker 3: really good practices toward the end of Oxnard. It was
• 21:49
  Speaker 3: kind of catching people's eye a little bit, but not really.
• 21:54
  Speaker 3: Don't really think that that he'll be one of the
• 21:57
  Speaker 3: guys that they keep. I think they keep five receivers
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: for sure. Jalen Brooks, I don't know. I think you
• 22:05
  Speaker 3: could probably get them on the practice squad, Simmi Fojoko.
• 22:08
  Speaker 3: I just don't. I just don't see them keeping six receivers.
• 22:11
  Speaker 3: If there were six that you just had to have
• 22:13
  Speaker 3: on your team, they would. But I think it stops
• 22:16
  Speaker 3: at five, and that includes Turpin and then and then
• 22:19
  Speaker 3: you can add them on game day if you need to.
• 22:21
  Speaker 3: You're gonna have two or three on the practice squad.
• 22:23
  Speaker 3: Maybe maybe two, Jackie, I'm sorry, Gary, Jackie Flash. So
• 22:29
  Speaker 3: what's the deal with Jabril Cox? I had high hopes
• 22:32
  Speaker 3: for him. Isn't isn't TJ Bass on the O line
• 22:36
  Speaker 3: A stud I see him advancing fast Tolbert will take
• 22:39
  Speaker 3: over number three wide receiver. Okay, just throwing that in
• 22:44
  Speaker 3: there at the end, Tolbert will take over number three receiver.
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: Win.
• 22:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah, probably at some point in his career here in Dallas,
• 22:52
  Speaker 3: he'll be the number three. I could definitely see that,
• 22:54
  Speaker 3: and that could be next year. I don't see it
• 22:56
  Speaker 3: happening this year without an injury, and I don't know
• 22:59
  Speaker 3: if he's ready for that. I really don't. Expectations are, Wow,
• 23:02
  Speaker 3: can this guy make a handful of catches? Can he
• 23:06
  Speaker 3: line up correctly? I mean that was the expectations for Tolbert.
• 23:09
  Speaker 3: The bar was low after last year, and he had
• 23:12
  Speaker 3: a really good camp because the bar was low. But
• 23:15
  Speaker 3: is he ready to be one of your top three guys.
• 23:17
  Speaker 3: I don't think people would be as excited about Jalen
• 23:19
  Speaker 3: Tolbert if he was one of those guys right now.
• 23:22
  Speaker 3: I think they like him for a wide receiver, for
• 23:24
  Speaker 3: in a special team's role. What's the deal with your
• 23:26
  Speaker 3: Bill Cox? He just he just didn't He didn't make
• 23:29
  Speaker 3: a lot of plays. He hasn't done a whole lot,
• 23:31
  Speaker 3: hasn't done anything to really stand out. That's that's what
• 23:35
  Speaker 3: happens at linebacker. You got it. You got to figure
• 23:37
  Speaker 3: out how to stand out and TJ. Bass, Yes, he's
• 23:39
  Speaker 3: been good as a as a left guard or as
• 23:41
  Speaker 3: a guard. He's played left guard, played some right guard,
• 23:44
  Speaker 3: and you could see this one coming, you really could.
• 23:47
  Speaker 3: I mean, if you're a three time All All Pac
• 23:50
  Speaker 3: twelve first team, I mean, that's that just shows that
• 23:54
  Speaker 3: you're you're a good player. You've played in different positions,
• 23:57
  Speaker 3: you came in, you know, into college quickly and made plays.
• 24:01
  Speaker 3: So yeah, I think I think he's it's a good
• 24:03
  Speaker 3: backup to have, uh for sure. All right, let's see,
• 24:10
  Speaker 3: all right, this is now now, this is Kevin from Virginia.
• 24:14
  Speaker 3: Should have called so we could just chat about this
• 24:16
  Speaker 3: back and forth. But he's already responded about Aaron Rodgers.
• 24:19
  Speaker 3: He's My point is that Aaron responded by winning back
• 24:22
  Speaker 3: to back m vps. I'm looking at his motivational tool
• 24:25
  Speaker 3: for dak Without the attitude that Aaron gave to Love, great,
• 24:29
  Speaker 3: that would be that would be awesome. I mean, if
• 24:31
  Speaker 3: he could, if he could do that, I mean, I
• 24:32
  Speaker 3: understand the point. There's just there's a lot to that
• 24:36
  Speaker 3: that's still hard to dissect right now, because Jordan Love,
• 24:40
  Speaker 3: we're not sure is a good quarterback at all. You know,
• 24:44
  Speaker 3: it's kind of similar to to Trey Lanton that played
• 24:48
  Speaker 3: at a small school. He's got some athletic ability, got
• 24:51
  Speaker 3: a live arm and all that, but he's got to
• 24:52
  Speaker 3: put kind of the tools together. H Yeah, Aaron did
• 24:56
  Speaker 3: respond with two m vps, but definitely a different situation
• 25:01
  Speaker 3: over there in Dallas and I mean, sorry in Green Bay. Well,
• 25:05
  Speaker 3: we'll see, we'll see what happens. I think, you know,
• 25:07
  Speaker 3: I think Dak's gonna gonna be fine. I don't think
• 25:09
  Speaker 3: this is this is a big deal. I think it's
• 25:11
  Speaker 3: a smart move by the Cowboys to go ahead and
• 25:12
  Speaker 3: do this. Are they done with trades? Probably not. I
• 25:15
  Speaker 3: mean they probably got more to do here. I mean,
• 25:19
  Speaker 3: for me, I still think you've got to figure out
• 25:24
  Speaker 3: something on the offensive line. I don't know if I'm
• 25:26
  Speaker 3: be ready for Awesome Richards to be the swing tackle
• 25:28
  Speaker 3: and I don't know if we'll let's go as that
• 25:30
  Speaker 3: guy either me personally, I'm getting a guard tackle veteran.
• 25:35
  Speaker 3: I'm just gonna find one. They're out there. You have
• 25:37
  Speaker 3: to trade for one, you have to trade for one.
• 25:39
  Speaker 3: But but you give me somebody that's played in the game.
• 25:42
  Speaker 3: In the games at tackle at guard. You know, Chumydoga
• 25:47
  Speaker 3: could be that guy, but he's he's banged up right
• 25:50
  Speaker 3: now and don't know if he's gonna be ready to
• 25:52
  Speaker 3: go and then and then other you know, other spots. Uh,
• 25:56
  Speaker 3: let's look at cornerback to Jordan Lewis, that's gonna be
• 25:59
  Speaker 3: an interesting move tomorrow. See if the Cowboys move him
• 26:02
  Speaker 3: to the pup list to reserve pup, which means he'd
• 26:05
  Speaker 3: be out four weeks, or do they just put him
• 26:07
  Speaker 3: on the fifty three man roster. Probably not ready for
• 26:09
  Speaker 3: week one, but could be ready if they leave him
• 26:11
  Speaker 3: on the roster. It'd be very similar to Michael Gallup
• 26:13
  Speaker 3: last year, where you know he was able to play
• 26:17
  Speaker 3: before that four week window. So I think that that'll
• 26:19
  Speaker 3: probably happen for him. I think. I think in talking
• 26:23
  Speaker 3: to him after the game in the locker room, Jordan
• 26:26
  Speaker 3: Lewis sounded like he would probably be a guy that
• 26:29
  Speaker 3: would be ready to go week one. I'm sorry, week one,
• 26:32
  Speaker 3: but week two, week three, but definitely not on the pub.
• 26:35
  Speaker 3: All right, let's get another one here.
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: This is.
• 26:41
  Speaker 3: Let me try to get one more before we end
• 26:43
  Speaker 3: the show. How about Ryan from North Carolina? Says, why
• 26:50
  Speaker 3: do I never hear NFL teams signing players from the CFL. Well,
• 26:56
  Speaker 3: and he also talks about the CFL talent is higher
• 26:58
  Speaker 3: than the USFL players that are being signed by NFL teams.
• 27:01
  Speaker 3: There's a lot more leagues now, I mean the CFL.
• 27:06
  Speaker 3: It happens, but from my understanding, they play, they play
• 27:10
  Speaker 3: at a different time where you're not gonna get a
• 27:12
  Speaker 3: lot of players ready to go, ready to play in
• 27:14
  Speaker 3: the NFL right then, and and then the talent pool
• 27:18
  Speaker 3: has been watered down just by other leagues. I mean,
• 27:21
  Speaker 3: you got the XFL, I got the USFL, and you
• 27:23
  Speaker 3: got you also have the CFL. So and not to
• 27:27
  Speaker 3: mention that, but there's there's more spots on the practice
• 27:30
  Speaker 3: squad now there's I mean there's there's It's a lot
• 27:33
  Speaker 3: better to stay in the NFL as a practice squad
• 27:37
  Speaker 3: player than to go and to go on another league.
• 27:39
  Speaker 3: And yeah, it would be nice if if they kept
• 27:42
  Speaker 3: your rights, you could go play. That's why I do
• 27:44
  Speaker 3: think there needs to be some kind of G league
• 27:47
  Speaker 3: or something. I think the I think the Cowboys need,
• 27:49
  Speaker 3: I mean, the NFL needs to figure out how to
• 27:52
  Speaker 3: capitalize on these leagues and maybe you figure, you know,
• 27:55
  Speaker 3: like they used to do with NFL Europe, and you
• 27:56
  Speaker 3: can kind of keep tabs on them. They need reps
• 27:59
  Speaker 3: in games, they can go play games, but at the
• 28:00
  Speaker 3: same time you have the rights, I think, and I
• 28:03
  Speaker 3: think that would drive up ratings even more knowing that
• 28:05
  Speaker 3: you're watching these games and they have some kind of
• 28:08
  Speaker 3: connection to your to your NFL team. So that would
• 28:11
  Speaker 3: be my thought. I'm sure it's easier said than done,
• 28:14
  Speaker 3: but it would it would be nice to see that.
• 28:17
  Speaker 3: I just think that the the addition of the extra
• 28:20
  Speaker 3: practice squad spots have been the reason for for that,
• 28:23
  Speaker 3: and and how these leagues just don't have a ton
• 28:25
  Speaker 3: of talent. They have some we've seen it. Cavante Turpin,
• 28:29
  Speaker 3: you know, he's a he's a Pro Bowl, All Pro
• 28:30
  Speaker 3: type returner. It was the MVP of their league. Brandon
• 28:33
  Speaker 3: Aubrey was really good in the USFL. He was you know,
• 28:37
  Speaker 3: he made the first team All USFL so as a kicker,
• 28:40
  Speaker 3: and the Cowboys are hoping that they'll steal another one
• 28:43
  Speaker 3: to help the special teams. All right, that'll do it
• 28:45
  Speaker 3: for for this edition of Cowboys Storyline. We'll be back
• 28:49
  Speaker 3: on Wednesday, and we'll be answering your questions there. The
• 28:51
  Speaker 3: roster will be cut down to fifty three, so we'll
• 28:54
  Speaker 3: be talking about that as we're getting closer and closer
• 28:56
  Speaker 3: to the regular season. Until then, I'm Nick keeping thanks
• 28:59
  Speaker 3: to Chris Bean. I'll see you next time on Cowboys Storyline.
