0:07
Speaker 2: Cowboys.
0:10
Speaker 1: This these Cowboys storylines with Nick Eatman.
0:20
Speaker 3: What's up everybody? This is Cowboys storyline. I'm Nick Eatman here,
0:26
Speaker 3: and yeah, this feels weird. It definitely does feel weird.
0:30
Speaker 3: I'm used to nineteen seasons of doing it with other
0:33
Speaker 3: people here and of course Derek Eagleton. But uh, every
0:37
Speaker 3: break needs a break, you know, Cowboys break. It is
0:39
Speaker 3: time to kind of move on, do something different, and
0:43
Speaker 3: there's there's no issue, there's there's no drama, nothing that
0:46
Speaker 3: that happened or anything like that. Just trying to always
0:49
Speaker 3: at Dallas Cowboys dot Com, always trying to do something different,
0:51
Speaker 3: always adding to to the to the mix of what
0:54
Speaker 3: we're doing. And you know, I think we've mastered the
0:58
Speaker 3: podcast of three people for people. It's time to try
1:01
Speaker 3: something a little different. That's what we're doing. We're gonna
1:03
Speaker 3: try it different. I say, it looks like I'm flying
1:06
Speaker 3: solo here, but I'm not. I'm not because this is
1:09
Speaker 3: not just my show. This will be your show. And
1:11
Speaker 3: I mean that this will be your show. This will
1:12
Speaker 3: be a fan show. Fan engagement is going to through
1:16
Speaker 3: the roof here and we'll do this throughout the show today.
1:19
Speaker 3: What we had a ton of tweets that came in.
1:22
Speaker 3: When we get back to the Star, we're gonna be
1:24
Speaker 3: doing a lot of the phone lines and you know
1:26
Speaker 3: those Mondays after the games win or loss, which hopefully
1:31
Speaker 3: there's gonna be a lot more wins obviously, but we
1:33
Speaker 3: know that that you guys have a lot to say,
1:35
Speaker 3: and some of the other podcasts we haven't got a
1:37
Speaker 3: chance to do that as much, but this one will
1:39
Speaker 3: be dedicated to the fans. I'm really excited about that.
1:42
Speaker 3: And you know what, I'm here to kind of give
1:45
Speaker 3: my input as well on some of your takes, not
1:49
Speaker 3: right or wrong, it's just gonna be my opinion, and
1:52
Speaker 3: we know you guys have great opinions as well. We're
1:55
Speaker 3: gonna get to some questions here as well. Cowboys storyline,
1:58
Speaker 3: we kind of went back and forth while trying to
2:00
Speaker 3: come up with the name. Really wanted to emphasize line
2:03
Speaker 3: because we're gonna have a lot of calls, not so
2:06
Speaker 3: much here, but like I said, when we get back,
2:08
Speaker 3: but also the storyline that's what matters the most, and
2:12
Speaker 3: that's something that we'll do every single show, including this one.
2:15
Speaker 3: We're gonna go through the storylines now. I do know
2:18
Speaker 3: that also sounds very similar to story Time, and we
2:22
Speaker 3: did that a few years ago story Time with Nick
2:25
Speaker 3: and Hey, I'm all about doing that. And there will
2:28
Speaker 3: be times while we'll bust out a story and that
2:31
Speaker 3: will be a part of the show as well, but
2:33
Speaker 3: not for today because we got too many things to do.
2:36
Speaker 3: And we also have a big time guest coming. Tray
2:39
Speaker 3: Von Diggs will be here in the second segment, and
2:43
Speaker 3: we're really excited about that because he's had a pretty
2:45
Speaker 3: big week, pretty busy week. They're signing. There's one hundred
2:49
Speaker 3: million dollar contract. He also talked to the media as
2:52
Speaker 3: well today but also is gonna be joining us here,
2:54
Speaker 3: and we're excited about that. Just to see what he's
2:57
Speaker 3: thinking now that he's got that contract. I bet you're
3:00
Speaker 3: knowing him, it won't be hardly any different because that's
3:03
Speaker 3: kind of who he is. That is one of the storylines.
3:06
Speaker 3: Let's go right to the storylines. That is one of them. Obviously,
3:10
Speaker 3: that was a big one for yesterday today, I think
3:12
Speaker 3: the big storyline first day of practice, I mean not
3:16
Speaker 3: the pads aren't on yet, but they're on the field.
3:19
Speaker 3: And yes, if you see the big shells, I mean
3:21
Speaker 3: that's the protective shields that they're wearing try to prevent concussions.
3:25
Speaker 3: It looks weird, but also cuts down concussions. That is
3:28
Speaker 3: what it is, all right. Who wasn't wearing one was
3:32
Speaker 3: Zach Martin. And this is now the second day that
3:36
Speaker 3: he is not here. This looks like fifty thousand dollars
3:39
Speaker 3: fine each day, And it's obviously a thing. This is
3:43
Speaker 3: this is this is something that to be concerned about,
3:47
Speaker 3: mainly because you want your veteran guy here. I don't
3:50
Speaker 3: think it's the worst thing in the world that Zach
3:52
Speaker 3: Martin's not not not practicing, because he's the type of
3:56
Speaker 3: guy that can can you know, jump right in and
3:58
Speaker 3: do his job. But what kind of message does it
4:01
Speaker 3: send to the team? Who knows? Who knows? These players
4:04
Speaker 3: know it's a business, and they also know that he
4:06
Speaker 3: is the best football player on the team and the
4:09
Speaker 3: most consistent player on the team. So I'm sure that
4:12
Speaker 3: they want him to do what's best for him. And
4:15
Speaker 3: you know, I talked to Stephen Jones today and he
4:18
Speaker 3: understands it's a business, and you know, they're gonna make
4:20
Speaker 3: it work. And I think the best thing was that
4:22
Speaker 3: yesterday Jerry said he's in our plans. He's going to
4:25
Speaker 3: be in the plans, and so I don't think at
4:27
Speaker 3: the end of the day or the end of the camp,
4:30
Speaker 3: I don't think it's going to be a huge thing.
4:33
Speaker 3: Now let's go to the actual practice. You know, it's
4:36
Speaker 3: supposed to be safe out there. It wasn't so good
4:39
Speaker 3: for the safeties. Donovan Wilson limped off the field today.
4:43
Speaker 3: They actually wrote off in a cart leg injury calf.
4:49
Speaker 3: Maybe the Cowboys aren't saying at the time of taping
4:51
Speaker 3: here they are saying exactly what it is. But we
4:53
Speaker 3: saw he was limping off and not a good thing
4:56
Speaker 3: for him. He signed a big contract the offseason and
4:58
Speaker 3: a big focal point of the d fence or before that,
5:02
Speaker 3: Israel Mkwamou also left practice, and he left and came
5:06
Speaker 3: back in street clothes, so he did not finish. Both
5:09
Speaker 3: two safeties did not finish a practice. I would say
5:12
Speaker 3: two of your your top four, including Donovan Wilson, who
5:15
Speaker 3: who arguably is your best one. He had the most
5:19
Speaker 3: tackles and made the most plays. So we'll get some
5:22
Speaker 3: information on that that was obviously a tough one right there.
5:27
Speaker 3: And then also another storyline. I think you're just always
5:31
Speaker 3: gonna be looking at the kickers. You know, you've got
5:33
Speaker 3: these two guys Tristan and Viiscayano Brandon Aubrey and will
5:37
Speaker 3: say this, this is not the best place in the
5:39
Speaker 3: world to be having kicking tryouts. Now, it is what
5:42
Speaker 3: it is. It's great for a lot of other things.
5:44
Speaker 3: That's why they come to camp. But as for kickers,
5:47
Speaker 3: Jonathan Garybody will tell you last year not a great
5:49
Speaker 3: spot because they usually kicked right into the wind. It's
5:52
Speaker 3: kind of a swirling wind around here, and so it's
5:56
Speaker 3: tough to get a good read and when you're trying
5:58
Speaker 3: to do that. I think preseason games are actually the best.
6:01
Speaker 3: But you know, you could you could hurt yourself by
6:04
Speaker 3: missing a lot of kicks. Well, we saw some some
6:05
Speaker 3: kicks today. Some of them were off the mark. But
6:09
Speaker 3: again I don't think it's it's early to panic. They're
6:11
Speaker 3: not the only two guys trying out. The rest of
6:13
Speaker 3: the kickers that are available not under contract are also
6:16
Speaker 3: trying out as well. We kind of know how that goes. Okay,
6:19
Speaker 3: before we get to the break and get to talk
6:22
Speaker 3: to to Trayvon. I do want to have a couple
6:24
Speaker 3: of questions, and I wanted to go with a couple
6:27
Speaker 3: of old school guys that have been around since the
6:29
Speaker 3: first time I was doing any kind of podcast whatever
6:31
Speaker 3: it was called Jesse Haney, Roanoke, Virginia and just his
6:36
Speaker 3: Twitter handle is Cowboys Addicts. That just tells you what
6:40
Speaker 3: kind of fan we are here, Jesse Haney, Roanoke, Virginia.
6:43
Speaker 3: He says, if Schoonmaker wasn't starting on the NFL, who
6:47
Speaker 3: would be getting the most starter reps in camp? He said,
6:50
Speaker 3: it's starting on NFI. I think it's Jake Ferguson. That's
6:55
Speaker 3: why I think would be starting. I still think Jake
6:57
Speaker 3: Ferguson will probably be the starter there. I they all
7:00
Speaker 3: do something different, but I think you want you're starting
7:04
Speaker 3: tight end to be your complete tight end, and I
7:07
Speaker 3: think Ferguson right now does that better than really anyone else.
7:12
Speaker 3: And then one more, one more here before we go
7:14
Speaker 3: to break William Howchins and William I, I I actually
7:18
Speaker 3: know him personally, and I know this offseason has been
7:22
Speaker 3: a really tough year for him personally. I just want
7:24
Speaker 3: to say give him my condolences there on the stuff
7:27
Speaker 3: that he's gone through. Uh, cowboy fan still asking questions
7:31
Speaker 3: first day Boom, is this a make or break year
7:34
Speaker 3: for Chauncey Golston. I like him to be on the
7:36
Speaker 3: fifty three, but he could get caught up in a
7:37
Speaker 3: numbers game. He could, he could it is Uh. I
7:41
Speaker 3: think there's going to be some defensive linemen, drafted defensive
7:44
Speaker 3: linemen that don't make it. I mean, just look at
7:46
Speaker 3: that at the guys you said, Gohlston being one of them, Uh,
7:50
Speaker 3: Quinton Bohanna. I mean, you know when when you when
7:54
Speaker 3: you look at at at draft picks, it's gonna be
7:56
Speaker 3: tough to get everybody. The thing about Golston though, he's
7:59
Speaker 3: got position, good position flex, and I mean that there
8:02
Speaker 3: could be bad position flex because you never grated anything.
8:05
Speaker 3: But he's got good position flex because he can slide inside.
8:09
Speaker 3: He can play defensive end, he can play tackle, and
8:12
Speaker 3: there will be injuries. And think about it, if you
8:15
Speaker 3: had if he was your fifth defensive end and your
8:18
Speaker 3: fifth tackle, you don't have to take ten guys to
8:21
Speaker 3: the game. You take nine to the game, and he
8:22
Speaker 3: can be a backup in two spots anytime. You can
8:24
Speaker 3: be a backup in two spots. It provides value and
8:27
Speaker 3: I think Chauncey Golston will certainly bring that. All Right,
8:30
Speaker 3: let's go to break here and when we come back,
8:32
Speaker 3: it's going to look a little different around here because
8:34
Speaker 3: we're gonna have Trey Von Diggs joining us. He can
8:37
Speaker 3: talk about that new contract and a lot of other
8:39
Speaker 3: things as the first day of camp. This is Cowboys storylines.

11:19
Speaker 3: tell us about what the contract means. I know you've
11:21
Speaker 3: talked about it before, trying not to make a big deal.
11:23
Speaker 3: But what does a contract mean to sign, especially the
11:25
Speaker 3: first week here at camp?
11:28
Speaker 2: It means a lot. You know.
11:29
Speaker 8: I'm truly thankful, you know, truly you know grateful. You know,
11:32
Speaker 8: I thank God every day just to be able to
11:34
Speaker 8: take care of my family or take care of my
11:36
Speaker 8: loved ones.
11:37
Speaker 2: So you know, I'm just very appreciative.

11:56
Speaker 3: Young Trayvon Diggs growing up in Maryland and what what
12:00
Speaker 3: I mean, would you ever have thought one hundred million
12:03
Speaker 3: dollars type contracts or if you instafuan was was that
12:06
Speaker 3: always the goals is to be at that level?
12:09
Speaker 8: Yeah, I feel like, you know, ever since we were little,
12:12
Speaker 8: we always you know, just wanted to, you know, maximize.
12:16
Speaker 2: Our opportunity of football.
12:18
Speaker 8: And I feel like, you know, we play at us
12:21
Speaker 8: playing at the highest level, being at the highest stage.
12:24
Speaker 8: You know, we're doing that, and you know, just continuing,
12:26
Speaker 8: you know, just trying to you know, just become great,
12:30
Speaker 8: you know, become you know, Hall of famers at the
12:32
Speaker 8: end of the day and just you know, go down
12:34
Speaker 8: in history as one of the best.
12:35
Speaker 2: You know.
12:35
Speaker 8: I feel like that's my main goal now, is just
12:37
Speaker 8: taking one one season at a time and just working,
12:42
Speaker 8: you know, working trying to get better every year and
12:44
Speaker 8: just putting up a good resume.
12:46
Speaker 3: You've always been a kind of a humbled, soft spoken guy.
12:49
Speaker 3: So soft spoken, I'm gonna put this up. Got make
12:52
Speaker 3: sure here. But uh, I was kind of joking earlier
12:55
Speaker 3: anything happened to your life change, But realistically, I mean
13:00
Speaker 3: as a contract like that change your life change you
13:02
Speaker 3: change you as a person, your values and all that stuff.
13:04
Speaker 3: I know, it's a lot, it's a ton of money.
13:06
Speaker 3: You can take care of people. But I imagine it
13:08
Speaker 3: doesn't change your mindset and your focus, especially when you
13:11
Speaker 3: get out here.
13:11
Speaker 8: Nah, it doesn't change my mindset, my focus, especially on
13:15
Speaker 8: the field. You know, I feel I probably had to
13:17
Speaker 8: start carrying myself a different way, you know, off the field,
13:20
Speaker 8: but you know, on if I feel like you know,
13:22
Speaker 8: it just makes me more hungry, you know, it makes
13:23
Speaker 8: me want to work harder. It makes me want to
13:25
Speaker 8: show you know that you know, I earned it, you know,
13:28
Speaker 8: and I'm going to keep you know, going, and keep
13:30
Speaker 8: you know, putting my best foot forward and just trying
13:32
Speaker 8: to be the best person I can be.
13:34
Speaker 3: Was being I think, I think the numbers are all different,
13:37
Speaker 3: but it looks like tied for the top five in
13:40
Speaker 3: corners and the highest paid. Was being number one a
13:43
Speaker 3: goal or was it getting it done and kind of
13:46
Speaker 3: getting it out of the way that was more important?
13:48
Speaker 8: I wasn't more so, you know, concerned about being number one.
13:51
Speaker 8: You know, with number one isn't far from number four
13:54
Speaker 8: or three too, you know, so it's all around the same.
13:56
Speaker 8: It doesn't really matter, you know. But at the end
13:58
Speaker 8: of the day, what matters is I'm able to take
14:00
Speaker 8: care of my family, able to take care of you know,
14:03
Speaker 8: the things that I want to do, and you know,
14:05
Speaker 8: now just get to work and just focus extremely on
14:07
Speaker 8: football and you know, not have to worry about anything.
14:10
Speaker 3: Learn more about the contract. What does big brother think
14:12
Speaker 3: about it? He's got to pay you for two so yeah,
14:15
Speaker 3: but what does he think about it? And did he
14:17
Speaker 3: help you at all in the process or you're kind
14:19
Speaker 3: of going through the contract?
14:20
Speaker 2: Yeah, most definitely.
14:21
Speaker 8: I had a lot of you know, mixed feelings, mixed emotions,
14:24
Speaker 8: especially this off season. You know, he just kind of
14:27
Speaker 8: took me under his wingers just like, you know, I
14:29
Speaker 8: know how you're feeling and what you're going through right
14:30
Speaker 8: now because I was in the same position that you
14:32
Speaker 8: were in. So you know, he just kind of, you know,
14:34
Speaker 8: just showed me, you know, how to go about it
14:36
Speaker 8: and how he went about it was more so just
14:39
Speaker 8: working every day, continuing to train and just you know,
14:42
Speaker 8: just sticking to the script, just doing what we do.
14:44
Speaker 8: You know, He's like, just trust God and everything's going
14:46
Speaker 8: to be able to take care of it.
14:47
Speaker 3: So you don't have to name names. But how many
14:50
Speaker 3: people have you have kind of hit you up on
14:52
Speaker 3: your cell phone of like, hey remember me? Does that
14:55
Speaker 3: kind of happen to your college buddies or friends or whatever? Like,
14:58
Speaker 3: oh yeah, that got paid?
15:00
Speaker 2: Yeah, that typically happens.
15:01
Speaker 8: But you know, I feel like when I got drafted,
15:03
Speaker 8: I kind of, you know, got those people out of
15:06
Speaker 8: my life already.
15:08
Speaker 2: You know.
15:08
Speaker 8: Now it's just people, you know, reaching out saying you know,
15:10
Speaker 8: they're proud of me and good jobs. So you know,
15:13
Speaker 8: I can't be thankful enough.
15:15
Speaker 3: All right, we'll talk talk us through being out here.
15:17
Speaker 2: What is it?
15:17
Speaker 3: What is it like to you know, not put on
15:19
Speaker 3: the paths yet, but you put on the uniform, be
15:21
Speaker 3: out here in the in this weather, which is kind
15:25
Speaker 3: of hot, but it's better than what we're used to it.
15:28
Speaker 3: What does it mean to be out here with the
15:30
Speaker 3: guys again?
15:30
Speaker 2: It means a lot.
15:31
Speaker 8: You know, I miss it, you know, but it came
15:33
Speaker 8: by quick, you know, from last off season. This off
15:36
Speaker 8: season I feel like has been the fastest.
15:38
Speaker 2: It came.
15:38
Speaker 8: It came quick, and you know, I'm just excited to
15:40
Speaker 8: be out here, you know, excited to be with them,
15:42
Speaker 8: and you know, excited to get this thing rolling. I
15:44
Speaker 8: feel like we got a really really good chance this shear,
15:47
Speaker 8: you know, going all the way. So you know, I
15:48
Speaker 8: just want to do everything I can to help, you know,
15:52
Speaker 8: help every bring everyone on board, and just you know,
15:55
Speaker 8: helped them win a super Bowl.
15:56
Speaker 3: You played against the cold last year. Yeah, I think
15:59
Speaker 3: after the game, maybe even the photos to find Gilmore Yep,
16:04
Speaker 3: no tampering issues here, not that you were recruiting him,
16:07
Speaker 3: but you knew the talent that he that you know
16:10
Speaker 3: he can bring to the table. And so when you
16:11
Speaker 3: sign him and then added him, what is that going
16:14
Speaker 3: to do for you in your game?
16:15
Speaker 2: Yeah?
16:15
Speaker 8: Most definitely. Me and Stepfan have a good relationship. We
16:19
Speaker 8: always just you know, kept in touch. You know, I
16:21
Speaker 8: always asked him about, you know, things that he see
16:25
Speaker 8: on the field that I'm doing, things that he does
16:27
Speaker 8: on the field.
16:27
Speaker 2: I'm still asking no questions to tell today.
16:29
Speaker 8: So you know, I've always had a strong relationship with him,
16:31
Speaker 8: and now I just I'm happy that I can see
16:33
Speaker 8: it in practice.
16:34
Speaker 2: You know, see how he goes about his work.
16:36
Speaker 8: You know, he's very professional, you know, take cares of work,
16:38
Speaker 8: and I'm just you know, going to keep continuing to
16:40
Speaker 8: take notes.
16:41
Speaker 4: You know.
16:41
Speaker 8: He I think he's in his like his thirteenth season
16:43
Speaker 8: or something like that, so you know he's doing something right.
16:46
Speaker 8: So you know, I just want to learn, soak up
16:48
Speaker 8: all the information I can just to help my career.
16:50
Speaker 3: All right, just a couple more minutes here. You I
16:55
Speaker 3: heard a story that you took Mica in there with
16:57
Speaker 3: you when you signed the contract yesterday. What was said
17:00
Speaker 3: there and Michaeh. I heard Stevens tell him, hey, you know,
17:05
Speaker 3: don't expect this kind of money. Maybe he's not, maybe
17:08
Speaker 3: he's expected even more than that.
17:09
Speaker 8: Yeah, I feel like he's expecting even more than that
17:12
Speaker 8: for sure. You know, Michaeh, he came. You know, it's
17:14
Speaker 8: one of my closest friends. You know, that's just show
17:17
Speaker 8: you know what type of person he is, you know,
17:18
Speaker 8: just to support. You know, he's always there supporting me,
17:21
Speaker 8: and I'm always there for him. You know, he's a
17:22
Speaker 8: great kid. And you know I can be you know,
17:24
Speaker 8: more thankful to have a friend and a teammate.
17:27
Speaker 3: Last one. I'll give it to you that signing that
17:29
Speaker 3: contract is probably the best thing that's happened to you
17:31
Speaker 3: this week. But also just wanted to remind you that

17:37

17:44

20:22
Speaker 3: Back to Cowboys Storylines. All right, welcome back to the
20:30
Speaker 3: final segment here of Cowboys Storyline first ever show, and
20:34
Speaker 3: we won't really want to thank Trayvon Diggs for joining
20:37
Speaker 3: us that was pretty awesome. You know, he doesn't he
20:39
Speaker 3: doesn't say a whole lot. Even when he gets one
20:42
Speaker 3: hundred million dollar contracts, he just doesn't say a lot.
20:44
Speaker 3: That's him. But that's actually something kind of refreshing. Okay,
20:47
Speaker 3: as we said earlier, and we saw it a couple
20:50
Speaker 3: of times with we had a couple of fan questions,
20:54
Speaker 3: but that's really what the backbone of this show is
20:56
Speaker 3: going to be, not so much here. We're still gonna
20:58
Speaker 3: work on that. When we're out here, we're gonna get
21:01
Speaker 3: some fan engagement, but when we get back to the Star,
21:03
Speaker 3: it's going we're gonna hit it with calls and tweets
21:07
Speaker 3: and all that. And we sent out the tweet this
21:09
Speaker 3: morning and you guys were unbelievable with all these questions.
21:12
Speaker 3: So that's what we're gonna do to kind of wrap
21:14
Speaker 3: it up here. We're gonna kinda go through some of
21:15
Speaker 3: these questions. Most of these are from tweets, so we'll
21:19
Speaker 3: go right at it all right, Brandon, Lorie, how surprised
21:22
Speaker 3: were you the Cowboys got the deal done with Dig
21:23
Speaker 3: before Lamb before Dak. Really not surprised because deadlines make
21:30
Speaker 3: deals and they really weren't on a deadline with Diggs,
21:34
Speaker 3: but probably more of a deadline than any other of
21:37
Speaker 3: these guys. If he goes out, has five interceptions, has seven, eight,
21:41
Speaker 3: ten interceptions, what's the price gonna be then, I mean
21:44
Speaker 3: you had to look at it from that perspective. So
21:47
Speaker 3: and then he could be an unrestricted free agent if
21:49
Speaker 3: you didn't get a deal done this year. So I
21:51
Speaker 3: think it's actually not surprising that they got a deal
21:54
Speaker 3: done with him first, because you know, he's the guy
21:56
Speaker 3: that wasn't under contract for the next two years. All right,
22:00
Speaker 3: stx Mario. What's the biggest question headed into training camp?
22:04
Speaker 3: Do you expect it to be answered by August fifteenth? Well,
22:07
Speaker 3: the biggest question changed. It was just you know, position
22:12
Speaker 3: battles and how these new guys are gonna fix fit in.
22:16
Speaker 3: But it's Zach Martin right now. It's Zach Martin. I
22:19
Speaker 3: think that's the biggest question is we talked about in
22:21
Speaker 3: the first segment, But that's Do I expect it to
22:25
Speaker 3: be answered by August fifteenth? Yeah?
22:28
Speaker 1: I do.
22:30
Speaker 3: I say it's a big question because you don't know
22:32
Speaker 3: what's happening. It's obviously something for him to miss some time,
22:35
Speaker 3: but he's in the plans long term. I think it's
22:38
Speaker 3: going to get resolved, and I think from the fans perspective,
22:41
Speaker 3: he's going to be playing right guard for them, which
22:43
Speaker 3: is really all that matters at the end of the day.
22:45
Speaker 3: All right, British and Irish Eagles. Who wins the NFC
22:48
Speaker 3: East this year? Cowboys? Okay, see we're moving through these easy,
22:52
Speaker 3: All right, Parisa Michelle, what one player are you looking
22:56
Speaker 3: forward to watching camp? Did the Cowboys front office do
22:58
Speaker 3: things better this offseas than previous years? Yes? I think
23:03
Speaker 3: they did, and I think the reason why is those trades.
23:06
Speaker 3: We haven't seen a lot of trades like that in
23:09
Speaker 3: the middle of like to start free agency and adding
23:13
Speaker 3: Gilmore and adding Cooks. Not only does that help the
23:18
Speaker 3: team and help the position, but think about what's around them.
23:22
Speaker 3: Think about who's opposite of Diggs you signed. I'm sorry
23:25
Speaker 3: you signed Gilmore. He's not your best corner. The one
23:28
Speaker 3: hundred million dollar man is the best corner. But how
23:30
Speaker 3: much better is he gonna be because of Gilmore? How
23:32
Speaker 3: much better is CD and Gallup gonna be because of
23:35
Speaker 3: Brandon Cooks? How better? How much better is that gonna
23:37
Speaker 3: be because of Brandon Cooks? All these question marks, and
23:40
Speaker 3: I do think that that's that's very important for for
23:44
Speaker 3: this offseason. So to answer the question, which one player
23:47
Speaker 3: are you most looking forward to watching? Oh Man, there's
23:52
Speaker 3: there's thirty. I mean there's forty. I mean, there's kickers. There,
23:55
Speaker 3: there's there's young receivers. You know, Jalen Tolbert's an easy answer.
23:59
Speaker 3: There the Malik Davis running back there, you know. But
24:04
Speaker 3: I always say this about training camp, at camp, any practice,
24:08
Speaker 3: it's hard to actually see who's doing what. That's why
24:11
Speaker 3: receivers are good. Did they catch it? Did they not?
24:13
Speaker 3: Did the quarterback make the throw? Did they not? Because
24:15
Speaker 3: every running back goes one hundred yards. I mean, it's
24:17
Speaker 3: it's hard to kind of see that the big boys
24:19
Speaker 3: in the middle and the runners. But you do know
24:22
Speaker 3: about receivers. So I will say Jalen Tolbert, He's just
24:25
Speaker 3: a guy that I think we're all excited to see.
24:27
Speaker 3: Uh And I've said it one hundred times, I'll say
24:29
Speaker 3: it one hundred and one. He had five catches his
24:31
Speaker 3: freshman year at South Alabama. He had like sixty five
24:34
Speaker 3: his sophomore year. He made some kind of jump between
24:36
Speaker 3: freshman and sophomore year. Let's see if he can do
24:38
Speaker 3: that here when he goes to season two. All right,
24:43
Speaker 3: Gary matterra his question, do you feel better about Matt
24:46
Speaker 3: will Letsko playing left tackle of tiring goes down compared
24:49
Speaker 3: to farniac adoga backup situation at left guard. We did
24:55
Speaker 3: a camping out podcast last night, camp Fire all that
25:00
Speaker 3: if you check it out if you can. We had
25:02
Speaker 3: a lot of fun. I still think Patrick Walker's getting
25:04
Speaker 3: Marshmallow out of the headset out of his hands. We
25:08
Speaker 3: did some moores. All that was fun. The question to
25:10
Speaker 3: me was which young player are you really excited about seeing?
25:14
Speaker 3: And I said Matt will Let's go. He's a guy
25:16
Speaker 3: that I think can kind of be under the radar
25:19
Speaker 3: here and really help this team left tackle, maybe guard.
25:24
Speaker 3: You know, he got a shoulder injury last year. He
25:26
Speaker 3: only played just a little bit, like a week or two.
25:28
Speaker 3: They liked what they saw in that time. So now
25:31
Speaker 3: that he's got a year under his belt, the shoulder
25:33
Speaker 3: is fixed. He's super tall, big, you know, imposing left tackle.
25:39
Speaker 3: I think he's gonna factor into this more than than
25:42
Speaker 3: people think. So that great question there by Gary Mattera.
25:46
Speaker 3: I definitely think that, well, Let's Go is a guy
25:48
Speaker 3: that we're gonna be looking at here. All right, let's
25:51
Speaker 3: move on through these here more questions. Jamie at sign
25:55
Speaker 3: is Jim jam eighty three. I usually not gonna say
25:58
Speaker 3: they're handle, but that's a cool one, Jim jam eighty three.
26:01
Speaker 3: And there's lots of Jamie, So I wanted to make
26:03
Speaker 3: sure you got the right one. One thing do you
26:05
Speaker 3: enjoy most about camp? One thing you dislike the most
26:08
Speaker 3: about camp? So we're not always gonna be about camp,
26:11
Speaker 3: all about the players on the field. What do you
26:13
Speaker 3: like the most about camp? What do you not like
26:15
Speaker 3: the most? I honestly think it's weird as it sounds.
26:20
Speaker 3: I think it's the same thing I really do. I
26:23
Speaker 3: like being out of camp. It signals the start at
26:25
Speaker 3: football season. It's fun to be here. It's the weather
26:28
Speaker 3: is cooler then you know, it's still kind of hot
26:32
Speaker 3: right right this second, but still no one's complaining. It's
26:35
Speaker 3: nice weather. It's why they're here. It's fun to be here.
26:38
Speaker 3: It's fun to do another training camp. The worst part
26:42
Speaker 3: about it is being here not being with the family,
26:45
Speaker 3: you know, and you know what happens. Life goes on still,
26:48
Speaker 3: back and back at home and dealing with that and
26:50
Speaker 3: just just making sure that you kind of button up
26:54
Speaker 3: those situations. But but I mean it's it's kind of
26:56
Speaker 3: the same thing. There's stress involved really when when you leave.
26:59
Speaker 3: But but that's you know this, what's not to like
27:03
Speaker 3: really about being out here? And so that's really the
27:05
Speaker 3: only thing. But for the most it's great to be here.
27:08
Speaker 3: This is as I said it early on. I mean,
27:11
Speaker 3: twenty twenty five seasons for me, and there's always something new,
27:16
Speaker 3: something different that I didn't expect. So and this year,
27:19
Speaker 3: you know, doing campfires, Zach Martin not being here, you know,
27:23
Speaker 3: just weird, weird stuff like that. All right, Moving on,
27:26
Speaker 3: Matt Hollerin said, which of the following this is gonna
27:29
Speaker 3: make me think here and read? Which of the fallowing
27:32
Speaker 3: do you think would be the most impactful contribution to
27:34
Speaker 3: the season. Is it Gallup returning to form with a
27:37
Speaker 3: thousand yard season, Tyron Smith staying healthy, playing fifteen regular
27:41
Speaker 3: season games, or d Law recording ten plus sacks d
27:46
Speaker 3: Law ten sacks, Tyron playing fifteen regular season games gallop
27:51
Speaker 3: one thousand yards. Well, that's a good one. I'm gonna
27:59
Speaker 3: say Tyron Smith playing fifteen games, because if Tyron Smith
28:05
Speaker 3: plays fifteen games. That means the offense is probably pretty good.
28:11
Speaker 3: And even though what I said about well let's go
28:13
Speaker 3: is still true. Don't want to be a hypocrite, but
28:16
Speaker 3: I think Galip can get a thousand yards if the
28:19
Speaker 3: line's blocking and doing their thing. And if the line
28:22
Speaker 3: is blocking in and Gallup's getting a thousand yards, the
28:24
Speaker 3: Cowboys are scoring points, have the lead, they can pin
28:27
Speaker 3: their ears back on defense, and d Lock can get
28:28
Speaker 3: ten sacks. So it's a domino effect. I do think
28:32
Speaker 3: that that's a great question. A lot of really good hypotheticals.
28:37
Speaker 3: That's the stuff when I was on show with Brian
28:38
Speaker 3: brought us. He would do stuff like that. Three things
28:41
Speaker 3: that you don't even think matchup, but they do. Good.
28:44
Speaker 3: Good question. I'm gonna say, Tyron Smith haven't seen fifteen games.
28:48
Speaker 3: I haven't seen that at a Tyron in a few years. There,
28:51
Speaker 3: all right, Texa Di Texa, Diana Tony. I think that's right.
28:58
Speaker 3: Do you think Trayvon digg To will avoid a big
29:01
Speaker 3: slump Sometimes that happens in a huge contract year happens.
29:08
Speaker 3: I don't think. I don't think it really will happen
29:10
Speaker 3: with him. You could make the case that he had
29:12
Speaker 3: a slump last year because he didn't have the same interceptions.
29:15
Speaker 3: You could also make the case that he played better
29:17
Speaker 3: last year, and I think he did. I think he
29:19
Speaker 3: had a better season last year. He dropped some interceptions
29:22
Speaker 3: that it was just like glue the first year, everything
29:24
Speaker 3: was sticking. But for the most part, he locked down
29:30
Speaker 3: his receiver way better, and so I think he was
29:34
Speaker 3: really really good. Didn't have the interceptions, but I think
29:37
Speaker 3: Stefan Gilmour on the other side will certainly help. All right, Dawson, Keegan,
29:42
Speaker 3: are we cool running back Brett Maher if the kicker
29:45
Speaker 3: role still has it been filled by preseason Dawson, go
29:50
Speaker 3: to YouTube. Look at the Bucks Cowboys game after the
29:54
Speaker 3: third or fourth miss extra point. See what you think. Hey,
29:58
Speaker 3: he was great in the regular season. I think he
30:00
Speaker 3: still hit twelve field goals in a row. But everybody
30:04
Speaker 3: kind of had that thought. I know I did, Like God,
30:06
Speaker 3: I hope the bottom doesn't come out, and it did.
30:08
Speaker 3: It dropped big time. San Francisco had carried over. There
30:12
Speaker 3: was no confidence there. I just don't know if you
30:14
Speaker 3: can go back that road again. I really don't. I
30:16
Speaker 3: think there's other veteran options that you would have to
30:18
Speaker 3: take your chances with All right, let's go through some
30:20
Speaker 3: more here from Marcus. Do you think Sam Williams becomes
30:24
Speaker 3: a full time starter at the other defensive end spot
30:26
Speaker 3: at some point this year? Maybe, but maybe he doesn't.
30:30
Speaker 3: He led the team in tackles for loss last year
30:33
Speaker 3: and he played like I think he raked eighteenth on
30:35
Speaker 3: the defense and snaps still led the team in tackles
30:38
Speaker 3: for loss. He kind of lived back there. He needs
30:40
Speaker 3: to play more. I think he will. Does he start,
30:42
Speaker 3: I'm not sure about that, but it doesn't matter. He's
30:45
Speaker 3: going to get in there when it's time to get
30:46
Speaker 3: after the quarterback, get in the backfield. And he did
30:49
Speaker 3: that very very well last year. All right, Dustin low Miller,
30:51
Speaker 3: how big of an impact should we expect out of
30:53
Speaker 3: the guys behind Pollard this season? Do you see Deuce
30:57
Speaker 3: Vaughan being a viable, potential potential number two. I don't
31:01
Speaker 3: see him being a number two. I see him being
31:04
Speaker 3: a number three, because remember number two replaces number one
31:07
Speaker 3: when he goes down. If he goes down, number three
31:11
Speaker 3: is a gadget type player. He might stay there, you know.
31:14
Speaker 3: I mean there was times where Pollard stayed at that position,
31:17
Speaker 3: and other guys would come in if they if Zeke
31:19
Speaker 3: needed a rest. So I think Deuce is going to
31:22
Speaker 3: have a role. I don't know if he's a RB two.
31:24
Speaker 3: I think that obviously Ronald Jones and Malik Davis are
31:27
Speaker 3: gonna are gonna have a spot there, all right. So
31:30
Speaker 3: this one is from Dave. I'm sure there's more than
31:33
Speaker 3: one Dave, but this is the one that tweeted this question.
31:36
Speaker 3: What's going to have the bigger impact and get us
31:38
Speaker 3: over the hump? Dak and his approvement in the passing
31:40
Speaker 3: game or the running game with not a lot of
31:42
Speaker 3: experience behind Tony both both both of them, I mean,
31:48
Speaker 3: they both will have a big play there, all right.
31:50
Speaker 3: Keep going here, Eddie from Texas. It is Tyron Smith
31:53
Speaker 3: close to healthy left tackle, and is Terrence Steel close
31:56
Speaker 3: to one hundred percent the start. The fact that Terrence
31:58
Speaker 3: Steel did not go on pump is a big, big deal.
32:00
Speaker 3: That means they are not even thinking he could really
32:03
Speaker 3: miss anytime. Certainly not gonna miss four weeks. So but
32:06
Speaker 3: they feel like he is ready to go. He can
32:08
Speaker 3: start practicing. I kind of think he's gonna be a
32:10
Speaker 3: guy that starts at right tackle in week one and
32:13
Speaker 3: then the last one. What we've talked about before kind
32:16
Speaker 3: of wraps up at a bowl on this show. Here
32:17
Speaker 3: from Tisha Domincali. Will Zach Martin situation get resolved quickly? Again,
32:25
Speaker 3: I don't know if it's gonna get resolved quickly for him.
32:29
Speaker 3: I think it'll be resolved quickly for you. And you
32:31
Speaker 3: want to see number seventy playing right guard. I think
32:33
Speaker 3: he will do that. I think regardless of what happens,
32:36
Speaker 3: they're going to figure out the contract situation, He's going
32:39
Speaker 3: to be your right tackle. And you know what if
32:41
Speaker 3: he doesn't have if he doesn't play at all here
32:44
Speaker 3: in the preseason or even training camp. But he's ready
32:46
Speaker 3: to go against the Giants week one. Cool because that
32:48
Speaker 3: means nobody's throwing, you know, getting thrown on his leg
32:51
Speaker 3: and ankle, and he you know, has has an injury
32:53
Speaker 3: or anything like that. So he's the type of guy
32:56
Speaker 3: that can get ready. I think he will be ready.
32:58
Speaker 3: It will be resolved to the point that the fans want.
33:01
Speaker 3: And again, like I said, this is a fans show.
33:04
Speaker 3: This has been fun. This has been fun. I really
33:07
Speaker 3: I never thought I'd have a show like this, And
33:10
Speaker 3: it's gonna we're gonna be a work in progress. We're
33:12
Speaker 3: gonna figure it out. My producer, Chris Beam over here,
33:14
Speaker 3: he's gonna make it work and we're gonna have a
33:17
Speaker 3: lot of fun. Today was a lot of fun. And
33:19
Speaker 3: the reason was not only because Trayvon Diggs was here,
33:22
Speaker 3: but the reason was you guys did a great, great
33:24
Speaker 3: job on Twitter and sent a lot of questions, questions,
33:27
Speaker 3: so many questions I couldn't get tomorrow, but I will
33:29

33:32
Speaker 3: be able to take some of these that you guys

33:36
