- 0:10Speaker 2: Cowboys.
- 0:13Speaker 3: This these Cowboys storyline with Nick Eatman.
- 0:21Speaker 4: What's up and welcome to storyline here. I'm Nick Eatman.
- 0:25Speaker 4: It is Thursday, August, the first new month. Let's see
- 0:29Speaker 4: what happens here for the Cowboys as we begin another
- 0:32Speaker 4: week of training camp, another show of training camp, as
- 0:35Speaker 4: the Cowboys are looking to get these padded practices underway
- 0:41Speaker 4: before the first preseason game, which is next weekend. I
- 0:45Speaker 4: got I wouldn't say it scrimmage is just the blue white.
- 0:48Speaker 4: Practice will be televised and we'll be streamed on the
- 0:52Speaker 4: website as well as you'll be able to watch practice.
- 0:55Speaker 4: On Saturday, there'll be another padded practice there and then
- 0:59Speaker 4: of course the Cowboy a week from this Sunday, we'll
- 1:02Speaker 4: have their first game. I believe that's August the eleventh.
- 1:05Speaker 4: All right, we've got callers on the line, We've got
- 1:08Speaker 4: news to talk about. The Cowboys will have a couple
- 1:11Speaker 4: of workouts today, trying to add some pass rushers here.
- 1:16Speaker 4: With Sam Williams' injury, They've got guys on the team
- 1:20Speaker 4: that will get extra reps. But I think they can
- 1:23Speaker 4: tell it's gonna need some outside help here. The Cowboys
- 1:27Speaker 4: are looking at four players today. One of them is
- 1:31Speaker 4: Carl Lawson. He's got twenty seven sacks in his career.
- 1:35Speaker 4: He's got some ties to this coaching staff. Paul Gunther
- 1:39Speaker 4: is the run game coordinator for the Cowboys, working with
- 1:44Speaker 4: the Zimmer. He was the defensive coordinator in Cincinnati when
- 1:49Speaker 4: Lawson had eight and a half sacks as a rookie.
- 1:51Speaker 4: I was back in twenty seventeen. So that's a guy
- 1:54Speaker 4: that they're gonna look at. He's available. He's played a
- 1:57Speaker 4: couple of years with the Jets, had some injury issues,
- 2:00Speaker 4: but a guy that definitely knows how to rush the passer.
- 2:05Speaker 4: Shaka Toni as another player who's been in Washington. He's
- 2:09Speaker 4: got also ties to the staff, Al Kadeen Muhammad and
- 2:12Speaker 4: Justin Hollands. Those four players will be working out with
- 2:15Speaker 4: the team today. Most of them got some pretty good,
- 2:19Speaker 4: you know, veteran experience and around that ten to twelve career sacks. Obviously,
- 2:24Speaker 4: Lawson has the twenty seven, so he's a guy that
- 2:28Speaker 4: we're certainly looking at here. All right, we'll go to
- 2:31Speaker 4: the callers here. Let's get started to hear Sebastian is
- 2:34Speaker 4: in Savannah, Georgia.
- 2:35Speaker 5: Sebastian, good day, good damage, or even how are you
- 2:40Speaker 5: doing it? It's been a.
- 2:40Speaker 4: Minute, Yeah man, how are you doing?
- 2:43Speaker 5: I'm doing well. Happy New Years to the Story Life
- 2:46Speaker 5: fam and of course, happy belated birthday to doctor Sunshine.
- 2:50Speaker 5: I wasn't able to get through that day. But I've
- 2:53Speaker 5: been listening to a lot of the callers, mister Evan,
- 2:56Speaker 5: and it just sounds like they're souring on the messenger
- 2:58Speaker 5: of the messengers being Steven and Jerry a little bit.
- 3:01Speaker 5: But honestly, it's the same thing every team has to
- 3:04Speaker 5: do every year. You have to sell hope before the
- 3:07Speaker 5: season open. You can't go into a season believing you
- 3:09Speaker 5: don't stand a chance, you know. But when you take
- 3:13Speaker 5: an objective look, I'm like, we got the kind of
- 3:15Speaker 5: team that can go twelve and five or five and twelve.
- 3:17Speaker 5: I don't know. Personally, I'm just hoping that we have
- 3:20Speaker 5: a good season. You know, we're competitive.
- 3:23Speaker 4: Why why would the campaign why would they go five
- 3:26Speaker 4: and twelve?
- 3:27Speaker 6: Like?
- 3:27Speaker 4: Why why? Because they lost?
- 3:28Speaker 5: I'm saying, I'm saying the floor fell from underneath those
- 3:32Speaker 5: like you know, or whatever.
- 3:33Speaker 7: The case happened, and.
- 3:37Speaker 4: I don't.
- 3:37Speaker 5: I don't believe we have great, great depth, you know,
- 3:41Speaker 5: so I think a couple of injuries could really set
- 3:43Speaker 5: us back.
- 3:44Speaker 4: Yeah, and that's and that's the case with with a
- 3:47Speaker 4: lot of teams, and and and you know, I don't
- 3:49Speaker 4: think we know what kind of depth we really have
- 3:53Speaker 4: with this team yet. I mean, it's that's what that's
- 3:56Speaker 4: why you go to training camp. I mean, there's there's
- 3:58Speaker 4: gonna be players that merge and develop. I just think
- 4:01Speaker 4: it's it's kind of early. And I hear it too.
- 4:03Speaker 4: I Mean a lot of the callers they're they're down.
- 4:06Speaker 4: I guess it's because of the the players that left
- 4:10Speaker 4: in free agency. If that's the case, then Washington's going
- 4:12Speaker 4: to win the Super Bowl. Apparently if you lose that
- 4:14Speaker 4: men win with what's up?
- 4:21Speaker 8: All right?
- 4:22Speaker 4: What do you get?
- 4:23Speaker 9: I don't.
- 4:24Speaker 5: Yeah, like I was thinking, I don't know, But I
- 4:25Speaker 5: do know a couple of things. One, Tyler Guidon has
- 4:29Speaker 5: to win that starting a starting position somewhere. We can't
- 4:31Speaker 5: have this back to back season where our first round
- 4:34Speaker 5: draft pick doesn't too much of anything, right. And then two, uh,
- 4:38Speaker 5: my favorite battles that I'm looking forward to during training
- 4:41Speaker 5: cap is the running backs, because honestly, is the Elliott
- 4:44Speaker 5: the great that are an option? He's not starting caliber
- 4:47Speaker 5: to me anymore. And I want to see who's going
- 4:50Speaker 5: to step up in that running back room and really
- 4:52Speaker 5: set themselves apart as a potential starting caliber running back.
- 4:56Speaker 5: I also want to know, Duce, are you just a
- 4:58Speaker 5: heartwarming story or are you a good football player who's
- 5:01Speaker 5: gonna help us come out the team this year? So
- 5:03Speaker 5: a lot of people have to take a step forward
- 5:05Speaker 5: through this training cap, and I'm really looking and excited
- 5:07Speaker 5: to see what the battles play out, you know, But
- 5:10Speaker 5: Tyler Guidon Hath the way I started spot, I'm sorry,
- 5:12Speaker 5: That's just how I feel.
- 5:13Speaker 4: Yeah, And I'm thanks Sebastian. He's starting right now. He's
- 5:17Speaker 4: getting those reps. He's doing nothing that you would say
- 5:20Speaker 4: would would lose those reps. He's got Micah Parsons a
- 5:24Speaker 4: little frustrated. And that's the thing, just because that's why
- 5:28Speaker 4: they drafted. He's got the length, you know, he's got
- 5:30Speaker 4: He's got quick feet and he's got length. He can
- 5:34Speaker 4: he can keep you off of him. Think of it.
- 5:37Speaker 4: Like I was talking with Nate Newton yesterday. We were
- 5:39Speaker 4: talking about that about short arms, long arms. You know,
- 5:43Speaker 4: that's one of the reasons why I think Cooper Beebe
- 5:45Speaker 4: was drafted in the third round as opposed to higher
- 5:48Speaker 4: rounds just because of the arm length and all that.
- 5:51Speaker 4: You got to have good strength to kind of overcome that.
- 5:54Speaker 4: But if you if you've got that length, I mean,
- 5:57Speaker 4: that's great for boxers obviously, to have that keep keep
- 6:00Speaker 4: people off of them. Same with with you know, left
- 6:03Speaker 4: tackles or tackles in general. You just got to have that.
- 6:06Speaker 4: And he's doing that, and he's he combines that with
- 6:09Speaker 4: his quick feet and that'll help him. I mean, I'm
- 6:12Speaker 4: not to say he's not gonna have problems in Cleveland
- 6:14Speaker 4: Week one, you know with Miles Garrett, everybody does. But
- 6:17Speaker 4: I think that's what's kind of helping him in this
- 6:21Speaker 4: learning curve is that he is such a great athlete,
- 6:24Speaker 4: and so that's you know, he's going to have his problems,
- 6:27Speaker 4: there's no doubt about it. We'll see what happens when
- 6:29Speaker 4: the pads are on, but no one's really really you know,
- 6:33Speaker 4: it's still not one hundred percent full go, So let's
- 6:36Speaker 4: see what happens when that does occur. But but so far,
- 6:40Speaker 4: so good on him, and you're right, he's got to
- 6:42Speaker 4: be I mean, not only does your first round pick
- 6:44Speaker 4: have to do something, but last year's first round pick
- 6:46Speaker 4: has to do something, and of course in Mazzie Smith,
- 6:50Speaker 4: and so every first round pick has to do something
- 6:53Speaker 4: or you're going to be in trouble. That's why teams
- 6:55Speaker 4: have to go and get free agency all the time.
- 6:58Speaker 4: And when people ask that question, why do these other
- 7:01Speaker 4: teams go and sign these guys in free agency because
- 7:05Speaker 4: they're not drafting as well, and they've got more busts
- 7:07Speaker 4: on first round, second round, third round, they've got more
- 7:10Speaker 4: holes to fill. The Cowboys are doing most of that
- 7:12Speaker 4: within so they have they've been drafting well. But either
- 7:18Speaker 4: either way, I mean, it's it's I think you're right.
- 7:21Speaker 4: I think he's going to do Uh, Tyler Guiden is
- 7:23Speaker 4: going to be your left tackle. As for running back,
- 7:25Speaker 4: I don't know. I still there's a part of me
- 7:29Speaker 4: that thinks that the the guy that leads the team
- 7:31Speaker 4: and carries this season is not here right now that
- 7:35Speaker 4: I still think that's possible, a guy that they'll have
- 7:40Speaker 4: to bring somebody in. I just don't know. If you
- 7:44Speaker 4: don't think Zeke's is starting caliber back, and that's fair.
- 7:47Speaker 4: I don't know if anyone is on the team. You know,
- 7:50Speaker 4: they just don't have anybody on the team that's done it.
- 7:53Speaker 4: You know, Rus Freeman's done it some. But I still
- 7:58Speaker 4: think that's a that's a position and that you can
- 8:00Speaker 4: go and fill from the outside. All right, let's go.
- 8:02Speaker 4: Jeff in Salt Lake City, Good morning, Jeff. How you doing.
- 8:11Speaker 7: Question for you kind of can you hear me?
- 8:15Speaker 4: Yeah, go ahead, you can hear me.
- 8:17Speaker 10: Now, Okay, I got a question for you kind of
- 8:19Speaker 10: to follow up. I didn't get to hear what Sebastian
- 8:21Speaker 10: was saying, but you were kind of talking about what
- 8:23Speaker 10: I wanted to ask.
- 8:24Speaker 7: You in regards to the offensive line.
- 8:27Speaker 10: Watching the videos of practice two days ago with Tyler
- 8:30Speaker 10: Guitton and Micah it was really encouraging, just because people
- 8:33Speaker 10: have said he's pretty raw, but he's got all the
- 8:35Speaker 10: athletic traits. Why does this coaching staff continue to throw
- 8:40Speaker 10: Tchuma Adoga out there with the first team during practice?
- 8:45Speaker 7: Philbin did it two years ago with Tyler Smith.
- 8:47Speaker 10: He was sitting behind McGovern and now we're seeing Chuma
- 8:51Speaker 10: out there with the first team. I'm with you, give
- 8:53Speaker 10: the first round pick all the reps that he can get.
- 8:56Speaker 7: Throw him in the fire, let him learn.
- 8:58Speaker 10: I don't understand why they keep throwing Chuma out there.
- 9:02Speaker 10: I was listening to Will McClay on one oh five
- 9:04Speaker 10: to three of the Fan and he said that that
- 9:07Speaker 10: if Dydon needs to earn it, well, what exactly is
- 9:10Speaker 10: Tumau Doga earned. He got taken out of the Miami
- 9:13Speaker 10: game last year because he was blowing assignments, and he's
- 9:16Speaker 10: a veteran.
- 9:17Speaker 7: So I would rather go with the rookie.
- 9:19Speaker 10: If he's going to make mistakes, let him learn that
- 9:21Speaker 10: a veteran who's going to make mistakes.
- 9:23Speaker 7: What's your thoughts on that? I think, I think I
- 9:25Speaker 7: know what your thoughts are.
- 9:26Speaker 4: But yeah, well I'll say this though, I mean, too
- 9:30Speaker 4: many Doga's on the team right now. I mean he's
- 9:32Speaker 4: he's He's a guy that can play tackle guard. He
- 9:36Speaker 4: can play both both tackle spots. So I'm with you
- 9:41Speaker 4: one thousand percent that you're that Tyler guy needs to
- 9:43Speaker 4: be the starter. He needs to be the starter. He
- 9:45Speaker 4: needs to go up against the best pass rushers. He
- 9:48Speaker 4: needs to face Micah, he needs to face Tank. He
- 9:51Speaker 4: needs to get those reps when it's one on one
- 9:53Speaker 4: when it's team drill and all that. So that's what
- 9:56Speaker 4: I believe. I do. I think Tuma doesn't need to
- 9:59Speaker 4: be out there. No, I'm he needs to be out
- 10:00Speaker 4: there too, And if that's how they're doing it, that's
- 10:02Speaker 4: how they're rotating it because he's gonna need some He
- 10:06Speaker 4: needs reps too. Of these guys get hurt and and
- 10:08Speaker 4: if he's if he's the guy, if he's next in line,
- 10:10Speaker 4: then then he needs his reps. But yeah, I think
- 10:14Speaker 4: I think to answer your question, I think Tyler Goydon
- 10:17Speaker 4: earned it when they drafted him first round. That's when
- 10:19Speaker 4: you draft the guy first round. He's got to play,
- 10:21Speaker 4: so throw him in there. So that's what I believe.
- 10:24Speaker 4: I think you agree, Yeah.
- 10:26Speaker 10: Well, does does this seem like this coaching staff with
- 10:28Speaker 10: Mike McCarthy, they they seem like they're hesitant.
- 10:31Speaker 7: To play the rookies.
- 10:32Speaker 10: It seemed like under Jason Garrett's administration they would always
- 10:36Speaker 10: throw the first round pick out there, but it just
- 10:38Speaker 10: seems like, uh, with this administration. I know we had
- 10:41Speaker 10: CD and he was the third and all that kind
- 10:43Speaker 10: of stuff. It's been forty years, but I just.
- 10:46Speaker 7: I get that feeling sometimes they're hesitant to play.
- 10:48Speaker 4: The young guys, yeah, a little. You know, they're probably
- 10:53Speaker 4: hesitant just because of what that player is showing them
- 10:58Speaker 4: and in the meetings and in also on the field.
- 11:00Speaker 4: I mean, they were not hesitant to play Micah Parsons,
- 11:02Speaker 4: you know, I mean, he played, and so it's it's
- 11:06Speaker 4: it's also what the guy is probably showing. But it's
- 11:11Speaker 4: it's a sink or swim type thing and he's gonna
- 11:14Speaker 4: have to swim. And Tyler Guidon and they know that,
- 11:16Speaker 4: and it's it's this isn't anything to really worry about. It.
- 11:19Speaker 4: It was one day, two days, but Guidan's been out there.
- 11:22Speaker 4: Now he's gonna take him and he's gonna take these
- 11:25Speaker 4: reps because that's that's that's what he should do, so
- 11:28Speaker 4: he will awesome.
- 11:29Speaker 10: All right, I got one more question, go ahead there,
- 11:31Speaker 10: that's okay, yep.
- 11:32Speaker 7: I just wanted to ask you.
- 11:34Speaker 9: I've been reading like.
- 11:35Speaker 10: Some conflicting reports here, your guys's own Patrick Walker has
- 11:39Speaker 10: been saying that Massie's been doing well out there, but
- 11:42Speaker 10: get conflicting reports from others that are out there on site.
- 11:46Speaker 7: What's your opinion. How's Mossy looked? Is he upbeat? Does
- 11:49Speaker 7: he Does he look like he's excited to be out there?
- 11:52Speaker 4: What's your thoughts on that?
- 11:53Speaker 7: And I'll hang up and listen.
- 11:54Speaker 4: Yeah, to answer the question, does he look excited to
- 11:56Speaker 4: be out here? No, but that's not Mozzi. He doesn't
- 11:59Speaker 4: ever look excited to be out here. I mean, that's
- 12:04Speaker 4: that's nothing against him, that's just his kind of his
- 12:08Speaker 4: mo Really, I think the conflicting reports is the fact
- 12:12Speaker 4: that you're talking about a defensive tackle where they're not tackling.
- 12:17Speaker 4: It's pads, but it's everybody's one hundred percent is the same.
- 12:24Speaker 4: Everyone's seventy five percent is a little different. So when
- 12:27Speaker 4: you're when you're talking about, you know, live pads, but
- 12:33Speaker 4: you're not bringing people to the ground, and and so
- 12:35Speaker 4: it's therefore it is a little bit different. Different to
- 12:39Speaker 4: see who's winning this drill who's not. Now, when they
- 12:42Speaker 4: go one on one, that's pretty easy to see. And so, yeah,
- 12:46Speaker 4: there are some things that Mazi's doing well, but you're
- 12:49Speaker 4: also some conflicting reports. It's it's who's who's saying it.
- 12:53Speaker 4: And again I'm not I'm not an expert when it
- 12:56Speaker 4: comes to defensive tackles, and most people aren't, and so
- 13:00Speaker 4: when you see players that aren't going and getting sacks, well,
- 13:04Speaker 4: then he's not playing well. So you'll hear that. The
- 13:08Speaker 4: job for Mazzie Smith is to get a double team.
- 13:12Speaker 4: That's his job. Get the guard in the center to
- 13:15Speaker 4: block me. If he's doing that, that's the job. And
- 13:19Speaker 4: so that's why first round defensive tackles. You know, that's
- 13:23Speaker 4: why it's not a sexy pick, because his job is
- 13:27Speaker 4: not to be Aaron Donald. That's great if you could
- 13:30Speaker 4: do that, but most players don't. What he needs to
- 13:32Speaker 4: do is to be strong enough to be in the
- 13:35Speaker 4: middle where he can get doubled. If he can get doubled,
- 13:39Speaker 4: you know, Mike is gonna get doubled. Now, everybody else
- 13:42Speaker 4: should be able to doing their job. But if one guy,
- 13:44Speaker 4: one guard, one center is blocking him, that's not doing
- 13:47Speaker 4: a great job. So my point is is that it's
- 13:49Speaker 4: hard to really evaluate the tackles. I'm a practice like this,
- 13:52Speaker 4: So there's gonna be players where yeah, he's doing his job.
- 13:55Speaker 4: There's gonna be some where maybe he isn't. And so
- 13:58Speaker 4: that's we'll see what happens. Really when when the games happened,
- 14:02Speaker 4: the pads come on that kind of stuff, all right,
- 14:04Speaker 4: let's go do Lewis and Langston, Oklahoma.
- 14:07Speaker 9: What's going on? You're doing this morning?
- 14:09Speaker 4: Good? How are you not bad?
- 14:11Speaker 9: Not bad? Like I told Chris, trying to beat this heat.
- 14:13Speaker 9: We're looking at hundreds and hundreds and huntings.
- 14:16Speaker 8: For the rest of the week.
- 14:18Speaker 4: Sorry, so I mean trying.
- 14:20Speaker 9: I'm trying not to try, trying to stay hot, drated.
- 14:22Speaker 4: I got long sleeves on. It's a little chilly. I
- 14:24Speaker 4: know you don't want to hear that. Sorry, everybody's got
- 14:26Speaker 4: thrown issues. What's up? How you doing?
- 14:30Speaker 11: No?
- 14:31Speaker 9: Not much, man.
- 14:32Speaker 12: I was just calling because I was I was. I
- 14:35Speaker 12: was thinking of looking at this the Cowboys bringing in
- 14:38Speaker 12: the car lost and for a workout and everything, and
- 14:41Speaker 12: I understand it.
- 14:42Speaker 9: We're losing Sam uh Sam Williams. And I was wondering,
- 14:45Speaker 9: did you think it was a good idea to try
- 14:47Speaker 9: to get him in early?
- 14:49Speaker 13: Oh?
- 14:49Speaker 12: Wait, you know, a preseason game or two, to see
- 14:52Speaker 12: kind of what you have with the rookies and the
- 14:53Speaker 12: people that's been there for a couple of years.
- 14:56Speaker 9: Or was it you know that?
- 14:57Speaker 12: Or is this kind of Zimmer saying, hey, listen, I
- 15:00Speaker 12: don't mind what I have, but we can you know,
- 15:02Speaker 12: add some more depth here right now and not even
- 15:04Speaker 12: have to worry about trying to continue with everybody else.
- 15:07Speaker 4: Yeah, I think I think that's that's always the issue
- 15:13Speaker 4: with it. I'll answer that. Do you have another question?
- 15:16Speaker 9: Oh no, No, go ahead and I'll take it off there.
- 15:19Speaker 4: All right, lady, appreciate that. Stay cool over there in Langston,
- 15:22Speaker 4: Oklahoma the best that you can that. That's always the dilemma.
- 15:27Speaker 4: Do you want to see what you've got with these
- 15:29Speaker 4: young players? Do you also want to get ahead of
- 15:33Speaker 4: the game and just sign them and not have to
- 15:35Speaker 4: wait for another team to have the same type of
- 15:37Speaker 4: injury and then they sign him, they throw money at them.
- 15:40Speaker 4: To me, I would bring the guy in and if
- 15:43Speaker 4: you like what you see out of one of these four,
- 15:45Speaker 4: I would sign him. Because if you if you still
- 15:48Speaker 4: think the Tyrs sweets of the world, Darrell Johnson, marsh
- 15:52Speaker 4: Marshawn Neelan, if those guys are still there, if you
- 15:56Speaker 4: still like them, they're gonna get reps. It's not like
- 16:00Speaker 4: these guys are going to come off the street from
- 16:03Speaker 4: the couch and come right in and start rushing the passer.
- 16:06Speaker 4: I mean, they're gonna need to ramp themselves up too.
- 16:08Speaker 4: So I think you can do both. Both things can happen.
- 16:11Speaker 4: You can sign player or two if you need to.
- 16:14Speaker 4: They can work them their way into the system, back
- 16:17Speaker 4: into the football conditioning again. At the same time, these
- 16:21Speaker 4: other guys are getting reps and snaps. And you know
- 16:24Speaker 4: those guys are out there for a reason. You know
- 16:27Speaker 4: they're out there for a reason. They're also brought in
- 16:30Speaker 4: for a reason. So that's what this is is a LOOKXI,
- 16:33Speaker 4: do you still have some stuff left in the tank.
- 16:35Speaker 4: All right, we are gonna have to go to break here.
- 16:38Speaker 4: We're gonna go to a quick break. We'll be right
- 16:40Speaker 4: back here.
- 16:41Speaker 14: On Cowboy storyline, Todd thought it would be secure to
- 16:45Speaker 14: jog in the cheata Savannah. Todd believed the big Cat
- 16:48Speaker 14: repellent he bought online was reliable. And now Todd is
- 16:51Speaker 14: trying to be faster than this cheetah that can run
- 16:53Speaker 14: eighty miles per hour. But the good news is Todd
- 16:56Speaker 14: has AT and T five G. It is fast, reliable,
- 16:58Speaker 14: and secure, and he learned the best thing to do
- 17:00Speaker 14: is stop running and toss her the backpack with the

- 18:32Speaker 4: let's go back to the phone lines here. Let's go
- 18:35Speaker 4: to a place where it all started for me. Which
- 18:39Speaker 4: tall falls? Texas? We got Chris in Which tall falls?
- 18:42Speaker 4: What is up? I know the weather's not like this.
- 18:44Speaker 4: I could promise you that.
- 18:47Speaker 15: Yeah, Nick, it's insanely hot. I'd rather be there in
- 18:50Speaker 15: Oxnard with you for the simps wise at least. Yeah, man,
- 18:53Speaker 15: how you doing?
- 18:54Speaker 4: I'm doing good man? What's going on? Which stall falls?
- 18:56Speaker 4: My wife's actually in which staft falls? Right now? My
- 18:58Speaker 4: family's there, so.
- 19:02Speaker 15: I know, uh no, no, not much. I just wanted
- 19:05Speaker 15: to chime in on a little bit of a different subject.
- 19:07Speaker 15: I know everybody's worried about a lot of things and contracts,
- 19:09Speaker 15: and that's the same answers you get all the time questions.
- 19:12Speaker 15: But let's shift gears this a little bit, and I
- 19:15Speaker 15: want to talk to you about special teams. You know,
- 19:17Speaker 15: a lot of different rules and changes this season. Of
- 19:20Speaker 15: course we see the new kickoff rules and the on
- 19:23Speaker 15: side rules and things like that. But I wanted to
- 19:26Speaker 15: ask you do you think John Fossil how.
- 19:29Speaker 13: Can he trick this up?
- 19:30Speaker 15: How can he sneak something in? And then the second
- 19:33Speaker 15: part to that question is basically, now that special teams
- 19:38Speaker 15: is limited, how does this affect those fringe players who
- 19:41Speaker 15: are looking for a chance to make this team when
- 19:45Speaker 15: the options now, the chances are are so limited.
- 19:49Speaker 4: What do you mean by that so limited by special teams?
- 19:53Speaker 15: Well, I guess just the the you know, the traditional
- 19:56Speaker 15: kickoff we've seen, you know, it's kind of spread, a
- 19:58Speaker 15: lot of speed, a lot of chance, I guess chances,
- 20:01Speaker 15: as we say, for a player to go out and
- 20:03Speaker 15: make a big play, whether it's a whether it's a gunner,
- 20:05Speaker 15: whether it's a kickoff returner, somebody like that, it just
- 20:09Speaker 15: seems like they had more of a chance to maybe
- 20:11Speaker 15: make an impact play, whereas now you know it's kind
- 20:14Speaker 15: of been they're reducing it for safety reasons. But I
- 20:17Speaker 15: just wonder if that plays into some of that.
- 20:21Speaker 4: Chris, I kind of disagree with you there because I
- 20:23Speaker 4: think that this year I think You've got more opportunities
- 20:28Speaker 4: on special teams because before the kickoff was just going
- 20:31Speaker 4: through the end zone. I mean, you weren't even having that.
- 20:33Speaker 4: Now they want to put that play back in the game.
- 20:37Speaker 4: They just want to make it safer. So, unless I'm
- 20:42Speaker 4: not seeing this the same way, I just I think
- 20:45Speaker 4: of it as a little bit more opportunities. I know CJ.
- 20:48Speaker 4: Goodwin is excited as ever as a special teams guy,
- 20:53Speaker 4: it just feels like there's more opportunities to go make
- 20:56Speaker 4: plays now it might be a different type of player.
- 20:59Speaker 4: And that goes to your first question of how John
- 21:01Speaker 4: Fossil is gonna trick it up, if you will. And
- 21:05Speaker 4: I think he's he's like he walks around, he's always
- 21:08Speaker 4: got a great attitude. But I mean when you see
- 21:11Speaker 4: him this whole offseason, it's like a kid at Christmas morning.
- 21:14Speaker 4: I mean like every every day he's just got the
- 21:17Speaker 4: wheels are spinning up here. I don't think we really
- 21:20Speaker 4: know just yet how these plays are going to go.
- 21:23Speaker 4: What the type of kickoff you're going to see. Are
- 21:27Speaker 4: you going to see the pooch kicks? Are you going
- 21:29Speaker 4: to see the line drive kicks? Are you going to
- 21:31Speaker 4: see dribbler kicks that try to dribble the ball out
- 21:33Speaker 4: of the end zone, which actually would be the best
- 21:35Speaker 4: thing you could do. This is gonna be different types
- 21:38Speaker 4: of kicks, different type of strategy, different type of players
- 21:41Speaker 4: that they throw in their speed guys, big guys. That's
- 21:44Speaker 4: why I think preseason this year is going to be
- 21:46Speaker 4: as enjoyable to watch as others. Just the season rules
- 21:50Speaker 4: like that.
- 21:52Speaker 9: No, I like it. I appreciate it.
- 21:53Speaker 8: All right.
- 21:53Speaker 15: Hey, I'll leave you with one last thing. Yeah, can
- 21:55Speaker 15: give me your favorite dextra Coke Lee story and I'll
- 21:57Speaker 15: hang up and listen.
- 21:58Speaker 4: All right, other things. Appreciate it. Dexter Cokeley, Man, I
- 22:04Speaker 4: love Dexter Cokeley. Uh he was. He was an awesome player.
- 22:08Speaker 4: I thought. Nothing comes to mind really quick except for
- 22:13Speaker 4: the fact that he and dat Win were absolutely not
- 22:18Speaker 4: passing the eye test for Bill Parcells like it. Just no,
- 22:21Speaker 4: this is not the linebacker that I need. These aren't
- 22:24Speaker 4: the type of guys. These are safeties for me. I
- 22:26Speaker 4: need big linebackers like I had with Harry Carson and
- 22:30Speaker 4: Carl Banks and you know, Pepper Johnson and LT and
- 22:35Speaker 4: even Zimmer, Like, just get these just let these guys
- 22:37Speaker 4: go play. You'll see. And then six weeks later, three
- 22:41Speaker 4: months later, oh Cokeley, that win. These are you don't
- 22:45Speaker 4: even have to worry about them. They're they're they're outstanding,
- 22:47Speaker 4: you know. And it's just it's just the fact that
- 22:49Speaker 4: just football players come and all you know, shapes and
- 22:51Speaker 4: sizes and and Cokeley was great. And another story too
- 22:55Speaker 4: is when you make big plays, make sure people are
- 22:58Speaker 4: watching Dexter Cokeley interception and against Dan Marino in the
- 23:01Speaker 4: ninety nine Thanksgiving Day game for a touchdown. Had another
- 23:04Speaker 4: win makes the Pro Bowl. You know, when the Pro
- 23:06Speaker 4: Bowl voting is going on, they remember plays like that
- 23:09Speaker 4: in big games. And so that's one thing I always
- 23:11Speaker 4: remember about Cochley. I really liked himm He was one
- 23:14Speaker 4: of my favorites. All right, Travis in San Antonio is next,
- 23:19Speaker 4: and I was going, good man, how are you good?
- 23:22Speaker 2: It sounds like the early part of the show they
- 23:24Speaker 2: turned off the moor for you.
- 23:25Speaker 4: So I don't think they did win right there. I
- 23:28Speaker 4: don't think they turned it off. They're just moving moving
- 23:30Speaker 4: away from us. But just wait till the least blow comes.
- 23:33Speaker 4: And well, just so it sounds better, so I appreciate it. Yeah, yep,
- 23:38Speaker 4: I was just.
- 23:39Speaker 2: Gonna say, I don't know I missed his name, but
- 23:41Speaker 2: there was a caller a couple of calls ago. And
- 23:44Speaker 2: by the way, I loved Dexter Cokeley too. He was
- 23:45Speaker 2: one of my favorite players a growing up. So shout
- 23:49Speaker 2: out to Dexter Cokeley. But I wanted some of the
- 23:53Speaker 2: conflicting reports because again I've got a couple of other
- 23:57Speaker 2: chats online. You know, I'm the I'm making my self
- 24:00Speaker 2: the president of the MAZI fan Club, and some of
- 24:03Speaker 2: the reports, I guess, the conflicting ones are he's had
- 24:08Speaker 2: some good reps, his get off looks better, which is
- 24:10Speaker 2: a plus, and then his weight is up. We still
- 24:12Speaker 2: never got an answer last year why you know why
- 24:15Speaker 2: he got down to two ninety, which was even confusing
- 24:18Speaker 2: for me. But he was never like a three round
- 24:19Speaker 2: and thirty player pound player. You know, he said himself
- 24:23Speaker 2: he wanted to be like three fifteen to three twenty five,
- 24:25Speaker 2: which sounds like he's around.
- 24:27Speaker 4: Yeah, you know. So some of the.
- 24:29Speaker 2: Conflicting reports I guess were that his get off was
- 24:32Speaker 2: better and he looks better overall. But from what I've
- 24:36Speaker 2: heard from some people that are like boots on the
- 24:38Speaker 2: ground there Skannina has been working with him just for
- 24:42Speaker 2: one on ones. He was doing really good, but some
- 24:45Speaker 2: of the like the double teams like you're talking about,
- 24:48Speaker 2: like when the second offensive lineman engages with him. His
- 24:51Speaker 2: was like, it looks like his right foot on a
- 24:52Speaker 2: couple of eclips picks up and he loses that anchor
- 24:56Speaker 2: a little bit. And I guess skinninessn't work with him
- 24:58Speaker 2: on that. So I think it's just a couple technical things.
- 25:01Speaker 2: But I just saw Brian brought us tweet out this morning.
- 25:03Speaker 2: He said he's made some plays. He's like, I'm not
- 25:05Speaker 2: giving up on the guy because I've seen him make plays.
- 25:08Speaker 2: It's just some technique stuff that they got to work
- 25:09Speaker 2: with him on. And I think from what I've heard,
- 25:11Speaker 2: Sneen is working with him hard, coaching them hard, which
- 25:14Speaker 2: is good. That's what he needs. So I'm still upbeat
- 25:17Speaker 2: on Bozzie. I think again, I think last year. I
- 25:22Speaker 2: think last year was kind of a lost year for him. Unfortunately,
- 25:26Speaker 2: I'm not saying he didn't learn anything, but I think
- 25:28Speaker 2: it sort of stunned his growth a little bit. So
- 25:32Speaker 2: it's going to be sort of maybe an up and down,
- 25:35Speaker 2: but I think overall he's going to make progress. So
- 25:37Speaker 2: I just wanted to throw that in there and maybe
- 25:40Speaker 2: not clarify like you didn't know, but just that's some
- 25:42Speaker 2: other stuff that I've been hearing.
- 25:43Speaker 4: On and let you go, all right, Travis, Yeah, I
- 25:46Speaker 4: appreciate it. And you know everybody's again you're conflicting reports too,
- 25:51Speaker 4: and it's like, you know, what eyes are you trusting here?
- 25:54Speaker 4: You know, do you trust the guys that kind of
- 25:56Speaker 4: know what they're looking at? And I'll tell you right now,
- 25:58Speaker 4: I mean, you know, watching defense of tackles is not
- 26:01Speaker 4: the easiest position to do. You kind of have to
- 26:04Speaker 4: know what you're looking for. I'm not saying you have
- 26:05Speaker 4: to play the position. I'm just saying you kind of
- 26:07Speaker 4: have to know what you're looking for. And and with
- 26:09Speaker 4: any position, you have to know like what's being asked
- 26:12Speaker 4: of them. And then in that case, uh, you know,
- 26:15Speaker 4: with him, you know his job is to you know,
- 26:18Speaker 4: anchor down like you said, and and and and hold
- 26:21Speaker 4: down those double teams. And that's not easy to do,
- 26:23Speaker 4: especially if Zach Martin is one of those guards. You
- 26:26Speaker 4: know that you're you're going to be moved around. But
- 26:30Speaker 4: but that this is a good competition because not only
- 26:33Speaker 4: are we wanting to see what the defensive tackle in
- 26:36Speaker 4: this case, Mazzie Smith is doing. We also want to
- 26:38Speaker 4: see what the center is doing. And who is the center?
- 26:41Speaker 4: Uh in Brad Kaufman or is it Cooper BB or
- 26:44Speaker 4: Dakota Shepley or whoever. So that's why those drills are
- 26:50Speaker 4: are fun here as I feel like getting rain drops
- 26:53Speaker 4: on me here, which doesn't happen much here in Oxnar.
- 26:58Speaker 4: That's not Maybe it's just a tree spitting on me here.
- 27:02Speaker 4: All right? Rick in Massachusetts?
- 27:04Speaker 9: Rick?
- 27:08Speaker 4: Rick? Are you there? Don't hear? Rick from Massachusetts?
- 27:14Speaker 8: Rick?
- 27:18Speaker 4: All right, let's move let's move on here. The phone
- 27:21Speaker 4: line is uh is open?
- 27:24Speaker 8: Uh?
- 27:25Speaker 4: Both phone lines are open at the moment, unless we're
- 27:28Speaker 4: still working on Rick from Massachusetts. Let me know, Chris Nope, Huh.
- 27:34Speaker 4: Next guy, let's go Michael Bowling, Green, Kentucky.
- 27:36Speaker 16: Michael, how you doing today?
- 27:40Speaker 4: I'm good? How are you?
- 27:42Speaker 16: I don't hear lawnmower?
- 27:43Speaker 4: You don't hear lawnmower.
- 27:45Speaker 16: I don't hear the more.
- 27:47Speaker 4: Well, then let's quit talking about it. Let's move on
- 27:51Speaker 4: a question.
- 27:53Speaker 16: I'm only going to ask you to for you know,
- 27:55Speaker 16: the benefit of time. First off, I heard that CD
- 28:03Speaker 16: got an offer, and he, I guess pretty much immediately
- 28:07Speaker 16: got it. You know, uh responded and you know a counter,
- 28:12Speaker 16: and that Dak got an offer and has just has
- 28:16Speaker 16: it responded or anything? Is that? Is he sending a message?
- 28:20Speaker 4: Dak? You're talking about? Is Dak sending a message?
- 28:25Speaker 16: Yeah, they said Dak. You know, Dak and CD got
- 28:28Speaker 16: offers a few days ago, and CD immediately responded with
- 28:32Speaker 16: a counter and everything, and Dak just you know, silence.
- 28:39Speaker 4: Who's here? I mean, I mean, what's the message that
- 28:44Speaker 4: Dak is sending? Sorry? I sorry, I'm not sorry. I
- 28:47Speaker 4: didn't respond to my agent who called me because I'm
- 28:49Speaker 4: in the middle of meetings till ten o'clock at night.
- 28:51Speaker 4: And then you know what I'm saying. I mean, like, yes, yes,
- 28:55Speaker 4: Dak is sending a message. He was without a doubt
- 28:57Speaker 4: of sending a message. I don't think it's the message
- 28:59Speaker 4: you're talking talking about it. I think it's the message
- 29:01Speaker 4: of I'm the leader of this team. I'm focused on winning.
- 29:04Speaker 4: I'm focused on practice. I'm focused on that right now.
- 29:06Speaker 4: We'll get to that when we get to that. But
- 29:08Speaker 4: I'm not letting the contract affect what I'm doing because
- 29:11Speaker 4: I'm here as the obligation of the starting quarterback of
- 29:14Speaker 4: this team. So that's not a shot at CD. That's
- 29:17Speaker 4: what I'm saying. That's the message DAK is sending. DAK
- 29:19Speaker 4: and CD are on different levels. So I don't fault.
- 29:24Speaker 4: I don't fault CD for what he's doing. I'll be honest.
- 29:26Speaker 4: I don't. I don't have anything. I mean, that's what
- 29:29Speaker 4: he needs to do. He won last year, he came
- 29:32Speaker 4: and he played through it. This year said last year
- 29:36Speaker 4: of the deal, let's let's get it locked up before
- 29:38Speaker 4: I go out there and give it, give my all.
- 29:40Speaker 4: I don't. I don't blame that. Dak's in a different boat,
- 29:43Speaker 4: and so I just don't fault what either one of
- 29:45Speaker 4: them is doing. I'm not and I'm not arguing with you.
- 29:47Speaker 4: I'm just saying that's what I think the message is.
- 29:50Speaker 4: I don't know if it's I didn't respond that that.
- 29:53Speaker 4: I don't know who his agent, what other clients he has,
- 29:56Speaker 4: I'm not really sure. But but but it's is pressing
- 30:00Speaker 4: with Dak because they're not missing anything with him. I
- 30:03Speaker 4: think they'll get it done. I believe. I still believe
- 30:05Speaker 4: that gets done before CD. That's my I really believe
- 30:08Speaker 4: that I think that.
- 30:10Speaker 16: Makes a lot of sense. I mean, CD's not there
- 30:12Speaker 16: at camp. I mean, you know, makes a lot of
- 30:14Speaker 16: That's why I asked a questions.
- 30:15Speaker 4: Yeah, but the question go ahead, go ahead, Michael yep.
- 30:18Speaker 16: Oh. The other quick question, Uh, Tyler Goton and BB.
- 30:23Speaker 16: I've heard stuff about both of them. What grade would
- 30:27Speaker 16: you put on each of them? How they're doing?
- 30:31Speaker 4: Grades are tough, you know, That's why I was terrible
- 30:33Speaker 4: in school. I think I think geyon Is, you know
- 30:42Speaker 4: the gin they're both they're both rookies, and gydon Is
- 30:48Speaker 4: is thrown in there and he's starting and he's looked
- 30:50Speaker 4: pretty good so far. BB is not looked as good.
- 30:56Speaker 4: So I don't like grades, you know, b C. Whatever.
- 31:00Speaker 4: The thing with bbe he's got to do two things
- 31:03Speaker 4: at once, okay, two things, and he's got to got
- 31:07Speaker 4: to get the snap and then he's got a block
- 31:09Speaker 4: and this is foreign to him because he hasn't done
- 31:11Speaker 4: it a lot. That shotgun snap has not been his
- 31:13Speaker 4: friend Jeff yet, so that's kind of his thing. He's
- 31:16Speaker 4: working on it. But you know who else struggled big
- 31:19Speaker 4: time was shot with shotgun STAPs? Was Tyler biattish to
- 31:22Speaker 4: the point where Andy Dalton actually got him removed from
- 31:27Speaker 4: the lineup and they went back to Joe Looney in
- 31:29Speaker 4: the middle of that twenty twenty season because the shotgun
- 31:32Speaker 4: snaps just weren't right when everyone was probably saying, why
- 31:35Speaker 4: go to the old guy, why not play the young guy?
- 31:37Speaker 4: He needs reps, he needs reps. Yeah, Well, Andy Dalton
- 31:40Speaker 4: had to take his eyes off the field because the
- 31:42Speaker 4: ball was all over the ground, and so that's what
- 31:45Speaker 4: happened there. But he got better, He got better, made
- 31:48Speaker 4: the Pro Bowl, and they got a big deal. That's
- 31:50Speaker 4: two references for Beiottish in this show. That's my point though,
- 31:54Speaker 4: is a little bit more of a learning curve because
- 31:56Speaker 4: Goyton has played tackle and this guy has never played
- 31:58Speaker 4: the center. So Guidon is a little bit ahead.
- 32:01Speaker 16: All right, Well for your answer on the first one.
- 32:05Speaker 16: It really shows me that I don't see everything. That's
- 32:08Speaker 16: why I ask you the question. I appreciate you, well, yeah.
- 32:11Speaker 4: And I appreciate your well, I appreciate you. It's just different,
- 32:14Speaker 4: just different perspectives. Like guys, you know you're in Kentucky,
- 32:18Speaker 4: you're doing it, and you're doing as best you can.
- 32:19Speaker 4: You know, we're here, we should know this. But that's
- 32:21Speaker 4: just an opinion that some people might say, Dak is
- 32:25Speaker 4: you know, maybe maybe it is little more of a message,
- 32:27Speaker 4: but I think the fact that he's here trumps all
- 32:30Speaker 4: of it in my opinion. All Right, all right, Michael,
- 32:33Speaker 4: have a good one. Appreciate that we're going to take
- 32:35Speaker 4: another quick break on This is different for us, but
- 32:38Speaker 4: we're gonna be doing that. We're gonna be taking these

- 34:19Speaker 4: in Pennsylvania, Let's go. Hey, what's up. I'm good. I'm good, Broan.
- 34:27Speaker 8: It's good to hear.
- 34:28Speaker 17: Uh.
- 34:28Speaker 8: I guess the heat is all the way up here too.
- 34:30Speaker 8: To be ninety seven today?
- 34:32Speaker 4: All right? All right, welcome to mix shots. I'm just kidding.
- 34:36Speaker 4: I'm kidding. We talked. I always cope with Mickey, you
- 34:40Speaker 4: talk to whether. No, it's good, it's hot, it's hot.
- 34:42Speaker 4: Everywhere better right here, you guys. This is why we
- 34:44Speaker 4: come here. That is why we're come in because it's
- 34:46Speaker 4: cool and cold and it's hot in the rest of
- 34:47Speaker 4: the world.
- 34:49Speaker 8: What do you got, bro, I have a question for you.
- 34:51Speaker 8: You know, everyone's worried about replacing Sam Williams at defensive end.
- 34:55Speaker 8: Since we have all these linebackers with past rushing ability
- 34:58Speaker 8: and like what Mica can do and everything, shouldn't be
- 35:00Speaker 8: be more worried about bringing in a viable defensive tackle.
- 35:04Speaker 8: We don't have any three technique behind Osa at one technique,
- 35:07Speaker 8: we don't know what's going on. I mean, I'm looking
- 35:10Speaker 8: at it and as far as like looking for someone
- 35:12Speaker 8: to rush the pass or it's almost like we got
- 35:13Speaker 8: plenty of all like options and alternatives and it defensive tackle.
- 35:18Speaker 8: We're all just being like, well, I'll hope this bridge
- 35:21Speaker 8: doesn't break, you know what I mean?
- 35:23Speaker 4: Yep, No, I don't just think we.
- 35:24Speaker 8: Could use the resources and at least get somebody in
- 35:27Speaker 8: a's a serviceable three technique or like move Golston out
- 35:31Speaker 8: back to his natural position and bring somebody in the middle,
- 35:33Speaker 8: because I don't feel like defensive third string pass rushers
- 35:38Speaker 8: as pressing a need as shoring up the middle of
- 35:41Speaker 8: the line. So I'll get off and hear what you
- 35:44Speaker 8: think about.
- 35:44Speaker 4: That, thanks, Brian. Cowboys have a couple of roster spots open.
- 35:51Speaker 4: They've never gone to full ninety which actually they could
- 35:54Speaker 4: go to ninety one because of Denzel Jackson, who is
- 35:58Speaker 4: a defensive tackle and he's a guy that they liked
- 36:00Speaker 4: out of Illinois, and he actually gives them a roster
- 36:02Speaker 4: exemption because he's in the International Pathway program that they
- 36:05Speaker 4: didn't even know about from the Bahamas. So he's another
- 36:10Speaker 4: guy in there. But but you know, a young rookie.
- 36:13Speaker 4: You look at their their guys, Carl Davis, Justin Rogers,
- 36:17Speaker 4: Chauncey Golston, along with Mazzi and and Osa. Like I said,
- 36:21Speaker 4: they haven't opened. They have some roster spots open. They
- 36:24Speaker 4: may fill one or two today with the pass rushers.
- 36:27Speaker 4: I think, and it's been talked about. I think that
- 36:30Speaker 4: there's some defensive tackles out there, at least one in particular,
- 36:33Speaker 4: that the Cowboys have interest in there's probably mutual interest
- 36:37Speaker 4: because he's played with with Zimmer and I do believe
- 36:42Speaker 4: the Cowboys have their eyes on some players to fill
- 36:44Speaker 4: at that position too, So just kind of waiting to
- 36:48Speaker 4: see how far it goes in there. But but no,
- 36:50Speaker 4: I don't think this is this is done yet as
- 36:52Speaker 4: far as that position either. Rick in Massachusetts? Are you back?
- 36:58Speaker 13: Hey?
- 36:58Speaker 4: Rick, how are you doing either? Yeah? You're on the
- 37:06Speaker 4: air man? What's what's going on? All right? All right?
- 37:15Speaker 4: Can't hear from Rick? Let's let's move on to the story.
- 37:18Speaker 4: The we got the lines that are open as well.
- 37:20Speaker 4: Let me I'll go back to and I know we're
- 37:23Speaker 4: having little technical issues this morning. I'll kind of go
- 37:26Speaker 4: back to the defensive tackle position.
- 37:28Speaker 5: Though.
- 37:29Speaker 4: I just think that it's gonna be it's a situation
- 37:33Speaker 4: where that's that's that affects all of them, affects the linebackers, Uh,
- 37:37Speaker 4: that affects you know, overshown, Leophile, Damon Clark, those guys
- 37:41Speaker 4: in the middle, and so it's it all begins right there.
- 37:45Speaker 4: That's why it is so important because I don't think
- 37:47Speaker 4: that the corners, the safeties, the linebackers can all do
- 37:50Speaker 4: their job if it's not getting held up right in
- 37:52Speaker 4: the middle, because nothing matters if you can't stop the run.
- 37:54Speaker 4: We know that, we've been we've seen games like that
- 37:57Speaker 4: Buffalo game comes to mind, where when teams are in
- 38:00Speaker 4: the football on them, there's not much you can really do.
- 38:03Speaker 4: So that that right there is I think the biggest
- 38:06Speaker 4: part of it is figuring out what's going to happen
- 38:09Speaker 4: at the defensive tackle position. That's why it's so important.
- 38:12Speaker 4: All right, let's let's try to go to Chris in
- 38:15Speaker 4: San Angelo, Texas.
- 38:18Speaker 13: This is he.
- 38:19Speaker 4: Hey Chris, what's up?
- 38:20Speaker 13: Hey, not much? How are you doing, mister Nick.
- 38:22Speaker 4: I'm good man, good.
- 38:24Speaker 13: Good good.
- 38:25Speaker 2: Hey.
- 38:26Speaker 4: I just had a.
- 38:27Speaker 13: Couple of things, and then I was going to follow
- 38:29Speaker 13: up with a movie quote, and so, okay, I did
- 38:32Speaker 13: that to you the last time.
- 38:33Speaker 4: Okay, hope, I hope I've seen it.
- 38:37Speaker 13: Yeah, you never know. Hey, I'm going to keep it
- 38:39Speaker 13: classic on that. You know, No No nineteen ninety seven
- 38:42Speaker 13: film noirs. You know, fifty people in the world have seen.
- 38:47Speaker 13: What I was going to start with was a kind
- 38:49Speaker 13: of a follow up to some of the things I've
- 38:52Speaker 13: been talking about. You know, they brought in the guys,
- 38:55Speaker 13: the past rushers. My question to you, I guess would be,
- 39:00Speaker 13: let's say, after the dust settle, you know, none of
- 39:03Speaker 13: them pan out and we just go with what we have.
- 39:06Speaker 13: Do you think that there's a position group or even
- 39:11Speaker 13: one player that might work out to benefit for that
- 39:15Speaker 13: extra roster spot for that for Sam Williams.
- 39:20Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 39:21Speaker 13: And then and then my other thing was actually about
- 39:24Speaker 13: Brandon Aubrey. You know, uh, I was just wondering how
- 39:27Speaker 13: his kicking looks. And I know we got the guy
- 39:31Speaker 13: with Brandon, but I do also know that last year
- 39:35Speaker 13: we found out that Oxnarge is not really conducive to
- 39:39Speaker 13: show out as a kicker. Child is wondering kind of
- 39:42Speaker 13: how he if he's just so locked in he's knocking them.
- 39:45Speaker 4: Through eight practice the other day, seven of eight missed
- 39:49Speaker 4: a thirty four yarder. That's a that's an extra point.
- 39:52Speaker 4: So again, I think, you know, he had a really
- 39:56Speaker 4: good season. We'll see how how he comes back year.
- 40:00Speaker 4: He reminds me so much of Dan Bailey in the
- 40:03Speaker 4: in the sense of he's not He's not really there's
- 40:08Speaker 4: not like a ton of personality that I've seen. I
- 40:12Speaker 4: mean that the media sees. I'm not saying he's not,
- 40:14Speaker 4: but he's locked in all the time, very serious about
- 40:17Speaker 4: his job and what he's doing, and and that keeps
- 40:20Speaker 4: him focused. And that's all it is with Kickers, is
- 40:23Speaker 4: really between the ears, and so I think that he'll
- 40:26Speaker 4: be locked in focused And then you said it best
- 40:28Speaker 4: and this is just not a great place to evaluate Kickers.
- 40:31Speaker 4: So not worried about that.
- 40:33Speaker 13: Yeah, So yeah, I think this time last year we
- 40:36Speaker 13: still didn't have an answer to that.
- 40:39Speaker 5: Right.
- 40:40Speaker 13: Oh, no, movie quote, my friend, here's the Swimming with
- 40:44Speaker 13: Bold Legged Women.
- 40:46Speaker 4: I don't even know what that is. I don't know
- 40:49Speaker 4: what's that.
- 40:49Speaker 13: It's a movie quote from let me give you an
- 40:52Speaker 13: I'll give you another hint on the movie.
- 40:55Speaker 8: Another one.
- 40:55Speaker 13: Okay, we're gonna need a bigger boat.
- 40:58Speaker 4: Does that Jaws?
- 40:59Speaker 2: Yeah?
- 41:00Speaker 13: Yes, are well. These are all classics in my book.
- 41:05Speaker 4: As a glass scared me. I was young. I couldn't
- 41:08Speaker 4: watch that.
- 41:08Speaker 13: That movie scared I was very young too.
- 41:11Speaker 2: But you know, you.
- 41:14Speaker 4: Appreciate that we're gonna move on. Of course, the first
- 41:17Speaker 4: part of that question, I think we kind of been
- 41:20Speaker 4: talked about what they're going to do with roster spots
- 41:22Speaker 4: of what they need. Let's go to Dylan in Northport, Florida.
- 41:25Speaker 4: Dylan Hey man, how are you.
- 41:28Speaker 16: How's it going?
- 41:29Speaker 18: Good? Good? Miss the first part of the show, it's
- 41:31Speaker 18: busy working. I don't know how dare they have me
- 41:33Speaker 18: on calls and stuff while you're on. But everybody's talking
- 41:37Speaker 18: about Mazie and kind of the decackles. And I haven't
- 41:40Speaker 18: seen anything about Justin Rodgers. Is there any news or
- 41:42Speaker 18: anything on him?
- 41:43Speaker 4: I haven't really heard much of him either. I mean,
- 41:46Speaker 4: he hasn't been a guy that's made big splashes one
- 41:49Speaker 4: way or another. Again, you know, Pad's have been on
- 41:54Speaker 4: for like two days then it's just harder with those
- 41:57Speaker 4: type of guys. So no, I haven't haven't heard from
- 42:00Speaker 4: him just yet. That doesn't you know the guys that
- 42:03Speaker 4: are tweeting, the guys that's like to throw out stuff
- 42:06Speaker 4: like that, they haven't really you know, mentioned him yet.
- 42:09Speaker 4: But we get more one on one drills and past
- 42:11Speaker 4: rush drills, you'll you'll see you a little bit more
- 42:14Speaker 4: from these guys.
- 42:16Speaker 18: Yeah, and I think the preseason will be big for
- 42:18Speaker 18: him too.
- 42:19Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 42:20Speaker 18: Out there so yeah, HET's kind of a hard position
- 42:22Speaker 18: anyways to figure out what's going on in camp. So
- 42:25Speaker 18: I see Deuce out there at wide receiver, if he
- 42:28Speaker 18: are they really trying to get him work at wide
- 42:30Speaker 18: receiver or is it or of like swinging out of
- 42:33Speaker 18: the backfield, so they're working on his route running and
- 42:35Speaker 18: hands type situation.
- 42:37Speaker 4: I think that's it. I think it's just getting him
- 42:39Speaker 4: in space. I think that's it. I mean, that's not
- 42:41Speaker 4: that's not lining up at receiver. It's just you know,
- 42:45Speaker 4: he can't run through the tackles and make a lot
- 42:48Speaker 4: of plays. That's just not gonna be his thing. One
- 42:50Speaker 4: hand from a defensive tackle is going to probably get
- 42:54Speaker 4: him down. You got to get him in space, get
- 42:56Speaker 4: him in mismatches, make him tough to find for these
- 42:59Speaker 4: linebackers and safeties out there, and then that's where he
- 43:02Speaker 4: can maybe do some things. So I think his route
- 43:04Speaker 4: running is kind of what matters the most, you know,
- 43:06Speaker 4: just out there.
- 43:07Speaker 18: It's okay, okay, cool, cool. Last last question for you, man,
- 43:12Speaker 18: this all seasons meant kind of a bummer, so I
- 43:14Speaker 18: don't recall anybody asking you this question, but what was
- 43:17Speaker 18: your favorite moment from the twenty twenty three season.
- 43:20Speaker 4: From the season All right, yeah, I appreciate that, and
- 43:23Speaker 4: yeah it's nice. Yeah, it's it's that was tough, you know,
- 43:28Speaker 4: just the way it ended, and so I had I
- 43:33Speaker 4: had a good time with forty to nothing. That was
- 43:36Speaker 4: pretty cool. And that's the first thing that pops into
- 43:38Speaker 4: my mind. There were some some really cool things that
- 43:40Speaker 4: happened throughout the year, some great games. I don't have
- 43:44Speaker 4: the schedule in front of me, so I don't remember
- 43:46Speaker 4: as many of them. But but I just I thought,
- 43:49Speaker 4: what a tone setter that was. To go into New York.
- 43:53Speaker 4: You just keep waiting for them to come back and actually,
- 43:56Speaker 4: you know, maybe score point and they just couldn't. Never did. Uh.
- 44:01Speaker 4: That was that was cool. It was indicative, I guess
- 44:04Speaker 4: of the season. The Cowboys, you know, we're really good
- 44:06Speaker 4: that year, and and and they weren't, and the Giants weren't.
- 44:10Speaker 4: I and also the Chargers. The Chargers game, that was
- 44:14Speaker 4: a good win personally, you know, just just that's not
- 44:20Speaker 4: my favorite team over there. Uh, at the Chargers, and
- 44:23Speaker 4: so to go in there and beat them. Uh, they're
- 44:27Speaker 4: in the home. It basically a home game for the Cowboys,
- 44:29Speaker 4: because anytime you play the Chargers, you're going to be
- 44:32Speaker 4: at home. It doesn't matter where it is, because their
- 44:34Speaker 4: fans are they don't have any so anyways, so that
- 44:37Speaker 4: that was that was a good one there, I would say,
- 44:40Speaker 4: beating the Chargers and also and also the Giants. All right,
- 44:45Speaker 4: let's go to David fort Worth. How are you good?
- 44:50Speaker 8: Good?
- 44:50Speaker 6: I'm going to kind of piggyback off of some of
- 44:52Speaker 6: that positivity.
- 44:54Speaker 19: Started off with the start off with a little bit
- 44:56Speaker 19: of negative, only from a different perspective.
- 44:59Speaker 6: So I've been working from home lot because I've been
- 45:00Speaker 6: taking care of my young boys. But I came into
- 45:02Speaker 6: the office today and man, there's a lot of talk
- 45:05Speaker 6: about Dallas just got worse. You know, I don't even
- 45:08Speaker 6: think they're gonna win ten games this year.
- 45:09Speaker 9: Blah blah blah.
- 45:10Speaker 6: And I don't under I don't really understand that mentality.
- 45:12Speaker 6: I don't see where they necessarily got worse. They lost
- 45:15Speaker 6: some players, but they gained some you know, when Kendricks
- 45:18Speaker 6: and Overshown's back and digs. I mean, I know I
- 45:21Speaker 6: mentioned his acl the other night or the other day.
- 45:23Speaker 6: But if he can come back and you know, be
- 45:25Speaker 6: as good as he was, you know at the beginning
- 45:27Speaker 6: of the first two games of last season.
- 45:28Speaker 9: I mean, he's he's a factor.
- 45:30Speaker 6: I mean he was. He caused two turnovers in the
- 45:32Speaker 6: first game hitting Barkley and then stripping the ball, you know.
- 45:35Speaker 6: So I'm very excited. I mean, like I said, we
- 45:37Speaker 6: lost Armstrong and Fowler and some people. But also the
- 45:40Speaker 6: offense didn't even really start like as explosive as they finished,
- 45:44Speaker 6: you know, Ceedee Lamb took off in the second half
- 45:46Speaker 6: of the season. So I'm very very excited to see where.
- 45:50Speaker 6: You know, I'm just excited for the season period. Like
- 45:52Speaker 6: I didn't really like all the negative talk, you know,
- 45:55Speaker 6: That's why I was glad. I wanted to jump on
- 45:56Speaker 6: here said a little positivity because this is going to
- 45:58Speaker 6: be great.
- 45:59Speaker 9: Also, last time we talked, I.
- 46:01Speaker 19: Was you know, we talked about the dumb bell thing,
- 46:03Speaker 19: you know, working out and stuff, and I just wanted
- 46:05Speaker 19: to say, man, I was listening to Tyler Smith his
- 46:10Speaker 19: interview after the game one day.
- 46:11Speaker 6: They asked him, you know, how he feels different about
- 46:13Speaker 6: this season. He said, he feels stronger. They said, oh, William,
- 46:16Speaker 6: you know, what's your MAX? And he said, we don't really,
- 46:18Speaker 6: we don't really max. And he said, we do like
- 46:20Speaker 6: three point fifty on the bench press five sets of five.
- 46:23Speaker 6: He said stuff like that. Nothing crazy, but you know,
- 46:26Speaker 6: and I was just like, man, these guys are just
- 46:29Speaker 6: way different these guys are just bigger, stronger fashion than
- 46:31Speaker 6: anybody anybody else.
- 46:33Speaker 9: So but yeah, man, I just wanted.
- 46:34Speaker 6: To throw it out there. I have never done this before,
- 46:36Speaker 6: so I want to throw a random wrestler out there
- 46:38Speaker 6: for you.
- 46:38Speaker 9: I don't know if you know him. Rakishi.
- 46:40Speaker 4: You know Rakishi RAKESHI not really, that's not He's really
- 46:46Speaker 4: big though, big and sloppy.
- 46:48Speaker 6: Yeah, he used to just rub his butts on people.
- 46:50Speaker 9: I don't know. That was like his special move. It
- 46:52Speaker 9: was weird. Don't ask me why I chose him.
- 46:54Speaker 4: But yeah, man, okay, yeah, great, what a great way
- 46:57Speaker 4: to end the show. Just talking about rubbing your butt
- 46:59Speaker 4: on one that that's awesome.
- 47:02Speaker 9: The Cowboys are gonna do this year.
- 47:03Speaker 6: That's what the Cowboys can do.
- 47:04Speaker 4: What they're gonna do, They're gonna do like the Riki sheet.
- 47:06Speaker 4: That's what they did to the Giants in that first
- 47:08Speaker 4: game and the second one too. Let's don't like just
- 47:12Speaker 4: because they scored a point doesn't mean it was it
- 47:14Speaker 4: was better, all right, all right, Well, thanks for the call,
- 47:17Speaker 4: appreciate that, and yeah, you're right, being positive is the
- 47:20Speaker 4: way the way it should be. I mean, there's thirty
- 47:23Speaker 4: two teams that should be positive about it in their
- 47:25Speaker 4: own way. Everyone's gonna have you know, different you know,
- 47:29Speaker 4: expectations and and and realistic expectations. But you know, I'm
- 47:33Speaker 4: just not saying because the Cowboys lost the free agents
- 47:36Speaker 4: that they lost and and they lost Sam Williams, an
- 47:39Speaker 4: injury doesn't mean like we're looking at a five and
- 47:41Speaker 4: twelve season here. I mean there are some things they
- 47:43Speaker 4: got to get better though. There's no doubt about it.
- 47:45Speaker 4: And I didn't mention this before, but if your quarterback
- 47:48Speaker 4: plays games like he practiced yesterday, then you're gonna be fine.
- 47:52Speaker 4: Because he that was the best he's been all year,
- 47:56Speaker 4: no doubt about it, and the best practice that I've
- 47:58Speaker 4: seen him. He's not really been a great practice player
- 48:00Speaker 4: in his career, and he was certainly cooking yesterday. He
- 48:04Speaker 4: was making these receivers. Jalen Brooks was looking really good
- 48:08Speaker 4: because he had no other choice but to catch the
- 48:09Speaker 4: pall on some of these throws from Dak. Dak really
- 48:12Speaker 4: was in his own yesterday. It was fun to watch
- 48:13Speaker 4: and see if he does it again today in the
- 48:16Speaker 4: next practice. Today is gonna be a little bit more
- 48:17Speaker 4: of a lighter practice, but we'll see what happens. As
- 48:20Speaker 4: we go get a little closer to the weekend. All right,
- 48:22Speaker 4: we had to go a little bit extra today. We
- 48:24Speaker 4: got Cowboys break is coming up right now, so stay
- 48:26Speaker 4: tuned for that. We will see you on Monday for
- 48:30Speaker 4: the next Cowboys storyline see then.
- 48:33Speaker 1: This has been a production of dallascowboys dot Com and
- 48:36Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
