- 0:02Speaker 1: He is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com and
- 0:04Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
- 0:08Speaker 2: Cowboys.
- 0:11Speaker 3: This is these Cowboys storylines with Nick Eatman.
- 0:18Speaker 4: What is up? Welcome to Cowboys Storyline. I'm Nick Eatman
- 0:22Speaker 4: here in Oxnard, California. One of the last two days
- 0:25Speaker 4: here of training camp, and it was the last day
- 0:28Speaker 4: of physical practice here. And I'm gonna stress physical practice
- 0:33Speaker 4: here in Oxnard. Uh, this team is ready to get
- 0:36Speaker 4: back to Dallas or ready to hit somebody else, I guess,
- 0:39Speaker 4: because they definitely were hitting on each other here today.
- 0:42Speaker 4: A lot of fights going on here. It was it
- 0:47Speaker 4: was crazy man and you'll probably see him, probably have
- 0:49Speaker 4: seen him already social media. But a lot of battling
- 0:52Speaker 4: going on, especially in the trenches there, and that's where
- 0:55Speaker 4: the competition usually, that's where usually where it starts. Here,
- 0:59Speaker 4: it's getting hot, it's getting you know, getting guys are
- 1:01Speaker 4: getting kind of tired of of of the the redundancy
- 1:04Speaker 4: of all of it. And I think it kind of
- 1:06Speaker 4: spilled over to today's practice. Sam Williams, Tyler Battish, getting
- 1:11Speaker 4: after it pretty good. Micah Parsons there's some punches being thrown.
- 1:16Speaker 4: That's probably not what you want to see with with
- 1:18Speaker 4: guys wearing helmets. But uh, you know, you want them
- 1:21Speaker 4: to compete, you want them to fight, you want them
- 1:23Speaker 4: to battle. Sometimes they you take it a little too far.
- 1:26Speaker 4: As long as at the end they can come together. Uh,
- 1:29Speaker 4: then I think that's that's what you want for for sure.
- 1:32Speaker 4: And that's that's what happened. I think today hopefully it
- 1:35Speaker 4: doesn't spill over into anything else. But then this is
- 1:38Speaker 4: last practices might be you know, one where this is
- 1:41Speaker 4: kind of the culmination of a lot of things. Because
- 1:43Speaker 4: Tyler be Odish, I'll tell you, has been kind of
- 1:45Speaker 4: chippy this entire camp, so uh, not a huge surprise
- 1:48Speaker 4: there that he was in the middle of a couple
- 1:51Speaker 4: of them.
- 1:51Speaker 5: Uh.
- 1:52Speaker 4: But but yeah, you know, Defense didn't like the way
- 1:54Speaker 4: some of the things happen on offense and vice versa,
- 1:56Speaker 4: and then carries over and carries over. So in the
- 1:59Speaker 4: second segment, we're gonna chance to get a chance to
- 2:01Speaker 4: talk to one of these offensive linemen, not one that
- 2:03Speaker 4: was in the fight, but the one that's been in
- 2:05Speaker 4: a bunch or been a bunch of scraps over the years,
- 2:08Speaker 4: and that's Zach Martin. Get a chance to kind of
- 2:10Speaker 4: chat with him. Really excited about sitting him down here,
- 2:12Speaker 4: so we'll have some questions already have some questions kind
- 2:16Speaker 4: of lined up for him and chat with with the goat,
- 2:19Speaker 4: you know, and still one of the best players in
- 2:23Speaker 4: all of football. So we're excited about talking with him now.
- 2:26Speaker 4: Other than fights. How the practice look, I think the
- 2:28Speaker 4: offense is looking really good as far as the speed goes.
- 2:32Speaker 4: They were a couple of drills today, a couple of
- 2:34Speaker 4: team sessions where you just look out there and you
- 2:37Speaker 4: see Duce Vaughan out there, You see a turping, you
- 2:40Speaker 4: see Gallup, you see Cooks, you see Ceedee Lamb. That
- 2:42Speaker 4: is gonna be a problem for defenses. They the way
- 2:45Speaker 4: that they go so wide with their offense, now, this
- 2:47Speaker 4: West Coast or Texas Coast offense, whatever, it's definitely going
- 2:52Speaker 4: to be a problem for teams that can't match the speed.
- 2:54Speaker 4: You could tell that's a mismatch, the mismatches or something
- 2:58Speaker 4: that this offense is trying to to find. And when
- 3:00Speaker 4: you get that much speed out there in open spaces,
- 3:03Speaker 4: it is going to be an issue. And it was
- 3:05Speaker 4: for this Cowboys defense a while now. That being said,
- 3:08Speaker 4: they got down into the red zone. The one the
- 3:10Speaker 4: two yard line, and some of these drills couldn't punch
- 3:13Speaker 4: it in. You know, a lot of talk about all
- 3:15Speaker 4: those maybe Zeke would have gotten that one or or
- 3:18Speaker 4: you know, other running backs. You know, now, again it's
- 3:21Speaker 4: not taking guys to the ground, so it is kind
- 3:23Speaker 4: of hard to say what would have been a stop
- 3:25Speaker 4: or not. But and there would have been some place
- 3:27Speaker 4: where I think that you know, Dak would have been
- 3:29Speaker 4: a guy that maybe tries to punch it in on
- 3:32Speaker 4: quarterback snakes. That's not stuff we're gonna see here in
- 3:35Speaker 4: practice like this, but but still very competitive all the
- 3:38Speaker 4: way around. And I think that's what you want out
- 3:41Speaker 4: of out of your your practices. You want the defense
- 3:43Speaker 4: to have times with the offense to have some times.
- 3:45Speaker 4: You want to be battle, you want to have it
- 3:47Speaker 4: all this a mix. And you know, that's pretty much
- 3:50Speaker 4: what we've seen now when it comes to number eleven.
- 3:54Speaker 4: I mean, no one's really been able to block them,
- 3:56Speaker 4: and and all of camp, all of really in the
- 4:00Speaker 4: in the league last couple of years, so nothing's really
- 4:03Speaker 4: changed there. It's tough to evaluate a Matt Will let's
- 4:05Speaker 4: go or even a you know, Chrumney Dogo or any
- 4:08Speaker 4: offensive tackle Terrence Steele for that matter. When it's like,
- 4:11Speaker 4: well he gave up a sack, you know, or two
- 4:13Speaker 4: or three or nine to to Micah, That's that's par
- 4:16Speaker 4: for the course, you know, that's kind of what He's
- 4:18Speaker 4: on another level right now. So he's he's been unbelievable.
- 4:22Speaker 4: He's been probably well, he has been the best player
- 4:25Speaker 4: of camp. And and just he looks ready to go
- 4:29Speaker 4: for the season. He really does. And he of course,
- 4:31Speaker 4: you know, like I said, he mixed it up in
- 4:33Speaker 4: there today. So all right, let's take let's take a break,
- 4:37Speaker 4: we come back. We're gonna get We're gonna get Zach
- 4:39Speaker 4: Martin up here, and we're gonna let him answer some
- 4:42Speaker 4: questions been recited to to talk to him. So we're
- 4:44Speaker 4: gonna go to break. Be right back here on Cowboys storyline.

- 7:15Speaker 4: these last couple of days been? You feel like you're
- 7:17Speaker 4: trying to get it all in?
- 7:18Speaker 5: Yeah, it's been a little bit of a whirlwind, you know,
- 7:20Speaker 5: you know, luckily we're able to figure things out and
- 7:23Speaker 5: then headed out here Monday afternoon, and.
- 7:27Speaker 12: It was just great to see everyone.
- 7:28Speaker 5: You know, I've been I've been missing everyone in the
- 7:30Speaker 5: last three weeks and kind of get acclimated here these
- 7:33Speaker 5: next these last couple of days, go out there, get
- 7:34Speaker 5: some individual work in, get some conditioning working, and and
- 7:38Speaker 5: then start easing my way into some team drills and
- 7:40Speaker 5: getting ready for week one.
- 7:41Speaker 4: Yeah. So you say easing yourself into team drills you
- 7:44Speaker 4: weren't in team drills today, probably a good thing. But
- 7:48Speaker 4: I mean this is normal for camp. So some fights
- 7:52Speaker 4: going on out there. It was intense. Yeah, where's the
- 7:55Speaker 4: line on that kind of Yeah, I mean that's that's
- 7:57Speaker 4: training camp.
- 7:57Speaker 5: When you're practicing the same guys every single they especially
- 8:00Speaker 5: this late in camp. You know there's gonna be uh,
- 8:03Speaker 5: there's gonna be some scuffles here and there. I mean,
- 8:05Speaker 5: you at the end of the day, you gotta realize
- 8:06Speaker 5: we're on the same team. But there's nothing wrong with
- 8:09Speaker 5: with those friendly scuffles out there in training camp.
- 8:11Speaker 4: What does a punch to a face mask, dude, like, like,
- 8:14Speaker 4: is it Well.
- 8:15Speaker 12: I mean it doesn't hurt because you gotta you got
- 8:17Speaker 12: something protecting me.
- 8:18Speaker 4: He can hurt the hand.
- 8:19Speaker 5: Yeah, you go open hand or you just you know,
- 8:21Speaker 5: you know, we're talking a lot about gripping them up
- 8:23Speaker 5: and just trying to vipe her up.
- 8:24Speaker 12: So but it was good today.
- 8:26Speaker 5: There was It was a good physical practice and uh,
- 8:28Speaker 5: you know, big for for a football team.
- 8:30Speaker 4: Tyler. Tyler, to be honest is he's been kind of
- 8:32Speaker 4: scrappy all of camp. I mean, nothing like that what
- 8:34Speaker 4: we saw today, but we've kind of been seeing it
- 8:36Speaker 4: out of him in a little bit, and you see like
- 8:38Speaker 4: him kind of taking his game and maybe the leadership
- 8:42Speaker 4: to another life.
- 8:42Speaker 5: Yeah, and that's why I you know, I was able to.
- 8:44Speaker 5: I stayed in touch with him all during uh you know,
- 8:46Speaker 5: my my deal or whatever. And that's what I told him.
- 8:49Speaker 5: I was like, man, you gotta take this your advantage
- 8:51Speaker 5: when I'm not there. You know, you're gonna be a guy.
- 8:53Speaker 5: A lot of guys look too, so so take advantage
- 8:55Speaker 5: and get get used to that because you know eventually
- 8:58Speaker 5: you're gonna be the guy and he or running things.
- 9:01Speaker 4: I only will ask one about money contract. I know
- 9:04Speaker 4: we're turning the page for moving on. But it's something
- 9:05Speaker 4: you said in the press conference yesterday about you never
- 9:08Speaker 4: even yourself, you never would have thought of yourself as
- 9:11Speaker 4: a holdout guy. Was there something that you just had,
- 9:13Speaker 4: you know what, I'm getting to a certain age, like
- 9:15Speaker 4: I've got to do this for me, I gotta take.
- 9:17Speaker 5: Care of Yeah, it was just something I felt really
- 9:19Speaker 5: strongly about. I felt that, you know, something that I
- 9:22Speaker 5: had earned and deserved and now I really felt strongly
- 9:25Speaker 5: about it. And you know, I just figured with my
- 9:28Speaker 5: agent's help and just kind of understand the situation that
- 9:32Speaker 5: the only way that this probably was gonna happen if
- 9:34Speaker 5: I really wanted it to happen, something like this was
- 9:36Speaker 5: probably gonna happen. So not what I wanted to do,
- 9:39Speaker 5: but I'm glad I got here out here a few
- 9:41Speaker 5: weeks before that that week one game, so I can
- 9:43Speaker 5: get ready.
- 9:44Speaker 4: I believe in irony and coincidences and stuff like that.
- 9:46Speaker 4: I mean, the same day this all broke, the same
- 9:49Speaker 4: day you were the ninety nine Madden I mean anything.
- 9:52Speaker 5: Now, it wasn't there was nothing that was My decision
- 9:55Speaker 5: to do what I did was made up well before that.
- 9:57Speaker 12: But it was funny how that came out next to
- 10:00Speaker 12: each other.
- 10:00Speaker 4: Well, this is kind of a this is a fans show.
- 10:02Speaker 4: As I kind of told you about it, I got
- 10:04Speaker 4: some fans. You know, there's tons of questions here. I'm
- 10:06Speaker 4: gonna just pick a little bit, but one of them
- 10:08Speaker 4: was about Madden the Dustin low Miller. He says, do
- 10:10Speaker 4: you play Madden? And also who else would you have
- 10:13Speaker 4: in the ninety nine club before this team.
- 10:16Speaker 5: I don't play Madden. I mean I have played it before,
- 10:18Speaker 5: but I'm not a big video game guy. I don't
- 10:20Speaker 5: play a lot of video games. I mean, you gotta
- 10:23Speaker 5: look at number eleven. Yeah, well, you know, I'm at
- 10:26Speaker 5: home watching tape and eleven's the guy keeps showing up
- 10:30Speaker 5: and the guy's special, very special player.
- 10:32Speaker 4: In the last segment, I kind of asked, how do
- 10:34Speaker 4: you evaluate them? Let's go in terrence, coming back in
- 10:37Speaker 4: these guys when it's like, well, you know, it's hard,
- 10:39Speaker 4: hard time blocking him.
- 10:40Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, I think it's more just how they respond
- 10:43Speaker 5: after each play. I mean, trust me, it's hard to
- 10:47Speaker 5: line up there and block them once, let alone ten
- 10:49Speaker 5: times in a row. So it's all about how you respond,
- 10:52Speaker 5: you know. I know, ever since I've been here, that
- 10:54Speaker 5: was a big thing we've always talked about, is you know,
- 10:56Speaker 5: you're gonna have those plays, but how do you come
- 10:58Speaker 5: back and how do you how do you refocus on lockhand?
- 11:00Speaker 4: All right? Another question? Jason Anderson a huge fan, also
- 11:03Speaker 4: a Notre Dame fan as well. Don fun watching you.
- 11:05Speaker 4: What do you think is missing from this old line
- 11:07Speaker 4: to becoming a great again like in twenty sixteen? Are
- 11:10Speaker 4: we close to recapturing that will?
- 11:11Speaker 5: Salari Hill All, Yeah, I think the most important thing
- 11:15Speaker 5: is that we can just stay healthy and continue to
- 11:18Speaker 5: get those reps together. You know, all great lines have
- 11:22Speaker 5: one thing in common, and that's the continuity and the
- 11:25Speaker 5: ability to stay healthy and play together. So you know,
- 11:30Speaker 5: we've We've got a long way to go, but I'm
- 11:32Speaker 5: really confident in this group.
- 11:33Speaker 12: I really like this group.
- 11:34Speaker 5: We've got some great veteran leadership along with some really
- 11:37Speaker 5: talented young guys.
- 11:38Speaker 12: So it should be a fun year.
- 11:41Speaker 4: Ed Schaefer kind of goes on to the Solario again.
- 11:43Speaker 4: What does he what does he change? I mean, what
- 11:45Speaker 4: does he change towards he influenced? What are some of
- 11:48Speaker 4: the things that he can kind of bring to the tab? Yeah?
- 11:50Speaker 5: I think he brings an edge to our group. I mean,
- 11:51Speaker 5: the guy's got energy all day. He's done it for
- 11:54Speaker 5: a very long time, had a lot of success at
- 11:55Speaker 5: everywhere he's been, and and that energy and that constant
- 11:59Speaker 5: message given us every day, that stuff rubs off on guys.
- 12:03Speaker 4: All right, this one, Carolyn Williams said, No, you only
- 12:05Speaker 4: wanted to play for Dallas. Was there ever a time
- 12:08Speaker 4: during the whole out that you thought maybe it was
- 12:10Speaker 4: going to be another team or maybe even retiring.
- 12:13Speaker 5: I mean there were, I mean I looked at every
- 12:15Speaker 5: possible scenario there. But you know, at the end of
- 12:17Speaker 5: the day, there was no question. I didn't want to
- 12:19Speaker 5: play anywhere else. I want to I want to play
- 12:22Speaker 5: my entire career here in.
- 12:23Speaker 12: Dallas and luckily, hopefully I'll be able to do that.
- 12:25Speaker 4: I'm gonna ask you one more. This is one producer here,

- 13:17Speaker 5: rebound them at the miss, rebound the miss, and then
- 13:19Speaker 5: finbably put it in.

- 16:19Speaker 4: Usually this is a segment where we talk to a
- 16:21Speaker 4: lot of the fans, get the fans questions and things
- 16:24Speaker 4: like that. We had Zach Martin just now really wanted
- 16:26Speaker 4: him the first practice of CANA, the first show wasn't here.
- 16:31Speaker 4: But hey, this is this is this is great now.
- 16:34Speaker 4: Instead of doing fan questions, I thought what I'd do
- 16:37Speaker 4: is bring some of my teammates here. Had a great team.
- 16:39Speaker 4: We're gonna start off Hailey Sutton. It's your first camp here, Haley,
- 16:42Speaker 4: thanks for joining us, Thanks for having me so fun.
- 16:46Speaker 4: I'm gonna do my best. I don't know.
- 16:47Speaker 13: Zach brings a lot of like quiet personality to a
- 16:49Speaker 13: lot of the rooms that he's in, especially when it's
- 16:51Speaker 13: one on one.
- 16:52Speaker 11: Uh I like to think I have a big personality.
- 16:55Speaker 4: Yeah, well maybe, yeah, you certainly certainly do. What has
- 17:00Speaker 4: this camp been like for you? Kind of tell people
- 17:02Speaker 4: what you've kind of done with some of the fun
- 17:04Speaker 4: things you've done, and just what as what are you
- 17:06Speaker 4: looking forward to men when we go to Seattle coming up.
- 17:09Speaker 13: Yeah, I don't think I knew what to expect going
- 17:12Speaker 13: into training camp, just because I am so new to
- 17:14Speaker 13: the NFL. The only training camp I'd covered previously was
- 17:16Speaker 13: the Dolphins and it's nothing like this.
- 17:18Speaker 11: So I didn't really have any expectations.
- 17:21Speaker 13: But man, it's just been so cool just to see
- 17:23Speaker 13: the ins and outs of the operation, what it takes
- 17:26Speaker 13: to move a training camp from Frisco, Texas out here
- 17:28Speaker 13: to Oxnard.
- 17:29Speaker 11: Getting to know the guys a little bit better.
- 17:31Speaker 13: You see a different side of them whenever you're eating
- 17:33Speaker 13: meals right across the way from them and interacting as
- 17:36Speaker 13: they're all riding past their bikes. But I'm excited for
- 17:39Speaker 13: this group, and I know as Cowboys fans, we have
- 17:40Speaker 13: a tendedy to say this is our year, but I'm
- 17:43Speaker 13: feeling that.
- 17:44Speaker 11: More this season.
- 17:45Speaker 13: I think just the competitive nature that we get to.
- 17:47Speaker 11: See out here.
- 17:48Speaker 4: What does our year.
- 17:50Speaker 13: Mean I think this is means okay, so I think
- 17:54Speaker 13: so and listen, I know I'll probably get roasted on
- 17:57Speaker 13: that by so many people, But the reality is that
- 18:00Speaker 13: this team has been disclosed for the last three seasons.
- 18:03Speaker 13: Every year, you can tell they've taken a step up
- 18:05Speaker 13: in terms of their competitive nature, in terms of their
- 18:08Speaker 13: work ethic, the things that we've been able to see
- 18:10Speaker 13: out here at training camp, and how hard they've been
- 18:12Speaker 13: going within the rules. Obviously, but it just feels a
- 18:16Speaker 13: little bit different. And you felt that last year, and
- 18:18Speaker 13: I didn't think we would top that feeling last year,
- 18:21Speaker 13: But man coming into this year, just seeing how locked
- 18:23Speaker 13: in they are, seeing how serious Mike McCarthy is getting
- 18:26Speaker 13: into the play calling and really getting more involved into
- 18:29Speaker 13: the offense, it feels a little.
- 18:30Speaker 4: Special, real special. I like, hey, I've been this was
- 18:34Speaker 4: your first camp, this is my twenty sixth. Getting over
- 18:37Speaker 4: the hope would be great. And I know producer Chris
- 18:40Speaker 4: being right here, he's been here for just as long
- 18:42Speaker 4: he would appreciate that as well. One of the things
- 18:45Speaker 4: you've done so many things. One of the things that's
- 18:47Speaker 4: coming up here this week, I know you're really excited
- 18:50Speaker 4: about and You Should Be is the documentary that you've
- 18:53Speaker 4: been writing, producing and with a team of Kevin Timmans
- 18:57Speaker 4: and Amber Garcia and Cayden Gates. But you really had
- 19:01Speaker 4: a huge role in this. Tell us a little bit
- 19:03Speaker 4: about documentary coming up.
- 19:04Speaker 13: Yeah, a documentary is something that I've always wanted to
- 19:07Speaker 13: kind of cross off of my bucket list. When I
- 19:09Speaker 13: was working in Alabama, I had a hiking series, so
- 19:11Speaker 13: I kind of got rid of the series side of it.
- 19:14Speaker 11: I already crossed that off.
- 19:15Speaker 13: But we had lunch that one time with Larry Wansley,
- 19:18Speaker 13: who was the former director of security for the Cowboys,
- 19:21Speaker 13: and he just like casually sat down with us at
- 19:23Speaker 13: lunch one day and told us about a sniper that
- 19:26Speaker 13: was trying to take out Tom Landry on Monday Night football.
- 19:28Speaker 13: And ever since I had that conversation with him, what
- 19:31Speaker 13: eight months ago at this point, it's really stuck with me.
- 19:33Speaker 13: So it's been really fun diving into that story.
- 19:37Speaker 11: It's called Close to the Vest.
- 19:38Speaker 13: It'll air this Thursday on all of our platforms as
- 19:40Speaker 13: well as on CBS eleven, But it takes an inside
- 19:43Speaker 13: look at how the Cowboys security staff handled a sniper
- 19:48Speaker 13: threat on Monday Night football against the Rams out here
- 19:52Speaker 13: in California, and it just dives into that nineteen eighty
- 19:55Speaker 13: six season and how it was a crazy year across
- 19:58Speaker 13: the board. I don't want to give too much away,
- 20:00Speaker 13: but really excited. I'm really grateful to all of the
- 20:03Speaker 13: people we have. Tony Dorset, we flew out here to
- 20:05Speaker 13: chat with Al Michael's someone who was on the broadcast.
- 20:08Speaker 13: So a lot of really great stars coming up in
- 20:10Speaker 13: that one. And I can't wait for everybody to get
- 20:11Speaker 13: to hear this crazy story that's a part.
- 20:13Speaker 4: Of our Yeah, great storytelling and just just really really
- 20:17Speaker 4: a good job from everybody to kind of put their
- 20:19Speaker 4: heads together and say how can we tell this story?
- 20:22Speaker 4: And I know you know you said this to your
- 20:23Speaker 4: first documentary, but you you definitely did it, did a
- 20:25Speaker 4: great job. So we're excited to show everybody that as well.
- 20:30Speaker 4: And so and I know you'll be You'll be the
- 20:33Speaker 4: hosting the countdown to kick off this week in Seattle.
- 20:35Speaker 4: I know you're excited about that first road game, I
- 20:37Speaker 4: guess with the Cowboys.
- 20:38Speaker 13: Yeah, it is my first road game and I've actually
- 20:40Speaker 13: never been to Seattle before. It's been on my bucket list,
- 20:42Speaker 13: and we've got Isaiah standback on our team and talking
- 20:44Speaker 13: up the city of Seattle, so it better live up
- 20:47Speaker 13: to the expectations that he's built up. But yeah, just
- 20:50Speaker 13: really excited to see another game, another preseason game.
- 20:53Speaker 11: And like you said, first Road one.
- 20:55Speaker 4: Do you watch wrestling at all?
- 20:56Speaker 1: No?
- 20:56Speaker 4: Okay, well you Michelle, you know what the like a
- 20:59Speaker 4: tag team mat?
- 21:00Speaker 6: Yeah?
- 21:00Speaker 4: Guy tagged in and so that's what we're gonna do. Here,
- 21:03Speaker 4: we're gonna go, We're gonna tag it. I got Kyle
- 21:05Speaker 4: Yeomans sitting up here. We appreciate Haley, thanks for stopping bar.
- 21:08Speaker 4: We're gonna rotate all the team members here. So here
- 21:11Speaker 4: comes here comes Kyle. He's gonna come in here, Haley,
- 21:14Speaker 4: thanks for joining us. Close to the Vest documentary coming up,
- 21:17Speaker 4: Haley Sutton. Now we're bringing in Kyle Yeomans. Kyle, what's
- 21:21Speaker 4: up man?
- 21:21Speaker 9: What's going on for a time on storyline?
- 21:24Speaker 4: Yeah? Yeah, I mean we we had Zach and Martin
- 21:26Speaker 4: and now we're getting we're getting into the team.
- 21:27Speaker 14: What you're getting better as you go along, right, Younger younger,
- 21:32Speaker 14: that's a good way to put it.
- 21:34Speaker 4: Yeah, and then we'll have Nick and then Patrick. Okay, anyways,
- 21:39Speaker 4: what what have you seen what have you seen a
- 21:41Speaker 4: camp out here so far?
- 21:43Speaker 14: Well, it's been intense, especially today. I think that's a
- 21:46Speaker 14: good way to good way to put it. I mean
- 21:48Speaker 14: the intensity has been there from day one. I think
- 21:50Speaker 14: it's only ramped up. And you would think that maybe
- 21:53Speaker 14: the last day in Oxnard, everybody's a little riled up.
- 21:56Speaker 14: You've already had one preseason game, but a lot of
- 21:59Speaker 14: these starters getting didn't really get a chance to really
- 22:01Speaker 14: get out there and hit anybody.
- 22:03Speaker 9: You would think it would be the Tuesday.
- 22:05Speaker 14: Practice when fans were out here and it was packed
- 22:07Speaker 14: and it was loud and there was lots of energy.
- 22:09Speaker 9: It wasn't.
- 22:10Speaker 14: It was no fans and just pure competition. It was
- 22:14Speaker 14: really Today might have been my favorite.
- 22:16Speaker 9: Practice to cover as a part of the Cowboys.
- 22:19Speaker 14: This my third training training camp in Oxnard, fourth total
- 22:22Speaker 14: because we had the one kind of half training camping
- 22:24Speaker 14: first go in twenty twenty. But this was as fun
- 22:28Speaker 14: as any practice.
- 22:29Speaker 4: I've ever covered. It was.
- 22:30Speaker 9: It was a blast to be around it. You and
- 22:31Speaker 9: I got to do Training cap Live.
- 22:33Speaker 4: Say tell me about Trade Camp Live.
- 22:35Speaker 14: You know what, if you haven't watched it yet and
- 22:37Speaker 14: you're listening to storyline you will finish storyline and and go.
- 22:41Speaker 9: Over and watch training camp line.
- 22:42Speaker 4: We uh, this isn't one of these great calls. Okay,
- 22:46Speaker 4: a blind man could have seen. Yeah, there was about
- 22:49Speaker 4: to be a fight. That's what we said on the air,
- 22:51Speaker 4: like here comes a fight, and it certainly was. You
- 22:55Speaker 4: could just tell that Sam Williams and brock Hoffmann, right,
- 22:59Speaker 4: But be honest, he's been wanted to throw hands this
- 23:01Speaker 4: whole camp, you know, and he did. He got a
- 23:04Speaker 4: chance to.
- 23:04Speaker 14: Yeah, I think and honestly, after hearing background, we were
- 23:08Speaker 14: just watching it unfold live and there were three reps
- 23:11Speaker 14: back and forth. The first one was Sam Williams brockoff
- 23:13Speaker 14: and won the RepA second one Sam Williams kind of
- 23:16Speaker 14: fell down and there was some push and shoven, just
- 23:18Speaker 14: a little bit of animosity there. And then the third one,
- 23:21Speaker 14: Sam Williams won the rep with an underneath swim move,
- 23:23Speaker 14: got around the guy and was there for what would
- 23:25Speaker 14: have been a sack. And then that's when things went
- 23:27Speaker 14: kind of unhinged. And that was the first scuffle, and
- 23:31Speaker 14: then there was a second one later where Biattash, kind
- 23:33Speaker 14: of carrying over from the first scuffle, was involved with
- 23:36Speaker 14: Michael Parsons. So I think it's good competition. Nobody got hurt,
- 23:40Speaker 14: nobody was injured. You're you're good to go at least
- 23:44Speaker 14: going into the Seattle game. And it's one of those
- 23:47Speaker 14: things where it's competition.
- 23:48Speaker 9: It's the last day.
- 23:49Speaker 14: Everybody's ready to go home, everybody's ready to see their
- 23:51Speaker 14: family and kind of be back at their own house.
- 23:53Speaker 14: It's it's definitely, it's definitely. Ah, it's an interesting time
- 23:57Speaker 14: of camp and you saw it out on the practice field.
- 23:58Speaker 4: Yeah, who has been your MVP other than Parsons.
- 24:02Speaker 9: Other than Parsons, you.
- 24:03Speaker 4: Can't say that, Well, is he been the MVP?
- 24:06Speaker 1: Yeah?
- 24:06Speaker 14: I think yeah, I think he has been. He'd probably
- 24:10Speaker 14: be the easy one man. That's really tough. I think
- 24:13Speaker 14: I think Dak is even though the national narrative is
- 24:17Speaker 14: the interceptions in camp. I actually think he's been pretty
- 24:20Speaker 14: good at camp, and I think he's been crisp at times.
- 24:23Speaker 14: And then it would have to go probably the young
- 24:26Speaker 14: wide receiver group. Jalen Tolbert might be my MVP of camp,
- 24:29Speaker 14: which is crazy for me to talk about because usually
- 24:32Speaker 14: it's Ceedee Lamb or in the past, Michael Gallup has
- 24:36Speaker 14: shown up. Even before that, I mean it was guys
- 24:38Speaker 14: like Brandon Cooks or excuse me, Amari Cooper, Brandon Cook's
- 24:42Speaker 14: coming and kind of filling that veteran role.
- 24:44Speaker 9: I think I give it to Jalen Tolbert. I do
- 24:46Speaker 9: an MVY.
- 24:47Speaker 14: Practicer Most Valuable Practicer after every camp and I tweeted
- 24:50Speaker 14: out and the only person to win it twice is
- 24:52Speaker 14: Jalen Tolbert until today Michael Parsons won his second.
- 24:55Speaker 4: Yeah, that's awesome. We talked to with Haley just now.
- 24:59Speaker 4: She talked a little bit what she's doing with the
- 25:01Speaker 4: uh with the documentary, and you've helped some on some
- 25:04Speaker 4: on a documentary we got coming up with war stories.
- 25:07Speaker 4: But I know you're really excited about last week getting
- 25:10Speaker 4: to call the game from the booth uh in uh
- 25:14Speaker 4: at AT and T Stadium, whole game play by play.
- 25:16Speaker 4: What was that experience like.
- 25:18Speaker 9: Man that I mean, dreams come true?
- 25:21Speaker 14: Really, you get to sit in the network booth and
- 25:24Speaker 14: get to call a game for a team that you
- 25:26Speaker 14: grew up cheering for.
- 25:27Speaker 9: I mean, I grew up in Waco.
- 25:28Speaker 14: I've always been a Cowboys fan, and I always knew
- 25:31Speaker 14: I wanted to do play by play.
- 25:32Speaker 9: That's the passion That's what I love doing, and that's.
- 25:34Speaker 14: Ultimately the goal for me as a as a broadcaster
- 25:37Speaker 14: is to be a really good play by play announcer.
- 25:40Speaker 14: And the fact that I got to do that with
- 25:43Speaker 14: a great group, Bill Jones, Isaiah Stanbach, Haley on the sideline.
- 25:47Speaker 14: My wife even was in the building because she got
- 25:49Speaker 14: to be a technical director. She has a production background,
- 25:51Speaker 14: so she did a great job.
- 25:53Speaker 12: It was.
- 25:53Speaker 9: It was just a moment where, especially right.
- 25:55Speaker 14: Before kickoff and the towels were waving and you were
- 25:58Speaker 14: kind of seeing the team run out, kind of had
- 26:00Speaker 14: to take it all in and it was so much fun.
- 26:02Speaker 14: I've gotten a great amount of feedback. I had a
- 26:05Speaker 14: lot of support over the the last couple of days,
- 26:07Speaker 14: and it's.
- 26:08Speaker 9: It's only gonna continue to build. I mean, we gotta
- 26:11Speaker 9: get better, gotta keep on going. But man, it was
- 26:13Speaker 9: so fun.
- 26:14Speaker 4: Don't tell Kyle that preseason games are meaning meaningless.
- 26:17Speaker 9: No, it was a lot for me and then a
- 26:18Speaker 9: lot to me for sure.
- 26:19Speaker 4: Definitely, And you'll be in the booth again with Bill
- 26:22Speaker 4: Jones and Isaiah in Seattle this week.
- 26:25Speaker 9: Different role now play by play.
- 26:27Speaker 14: This time I'll do color, which is a little out
- 26:30Speaker 14: of my comfort zone. I mean, I didn't play at
- 26:32Speaker 14: a professional level, but I know the game enough and
- 26:34Speaker 14: I've been around it enough to where I feel like
- 26:35Speaker 14: I can produce and and find some some good talking points.
- 26:39Speaker 4: It's gonna throw it down to me a little bit
- 26:40Speaker 4: on the sideline.
- 26:41Speaker 9: If you watch Bill, see that's that's not gonna be me.
- 26:43Speaker 14: I'm not throwing it down. You gotta talk to Bill Jones.
- 26:47Speaker 14: I'll try and like nudge him.
- 26:48Speaker 4: A little knee. All right, tag team back again. Here
- 26:52Speaker 4: we go. We're gonna move on. So we got Nick

- 27:45Speaker 2: very first day twins.
- 27:47Speaker 15: Yeah, absolutely, you could say that.
- 27:48Speaker 2: But I come from the college football recruiting world, four
- 27:52Speaker 2: years of experience working at twenty four seven Sports and Rivals,
- 27:55Speaker 2: and just kind of parlaying that into you know, somehow
- 27:57Speaker 2: someone being dumb enough to hire me.
- 27:59Speaker 4: So thanks, thanks Derek. Well, I mean, the if you
- 28:03Speaker 4: really want to get a headache, just think about covering
- 28:06Speaker 4: recruiting in Texas. It's it's mind blogging. I mean, mind boggling,
- 28:11Speaker 4: mind blowing whatever. I mean, it's just wow, like all
- 28:13Speaker 4: the stuff you have to do, it's a lot of
- 28:15Speaker 4: mind blogging as well. Yeah true, I mean and just
- 28:17Speaker 4: covering five states and all every three star recruiting up
- 28:21Speaker 4: or two star whatever and calling parents and chasing down
- 28:25Speaker 4: eighteen year old kids. I don't know how you did it.
- 28:26Speaker 4: But when you told me all this, I was like,

- 28:33Speaker 4: been good, it's been really good. What has camp been
- 28:35Speaker 4: like for you here? What's kind of caught your eye?
- 28:37Speaker 15: Yeah, it's been great. I think it's been an interesting camp.
- 28:40Speaker 2: And only you know, I have a snapshot view of
- 28:42Speaker 2: what training camp is because this is my first sign.
- 28:44Speaker 2: But I would still feel like it would be a
- 28:46Speaker 2: weird camp just because Zach Martin hasn't been here.
- 28:48Speaker 15: It rained for like three days.
- 28:50Speaker 4: True, Yeah, but uh, you know.
- 28:51Speaker 2: We're going back home for the first preseason game, so
- 28:54Speaker 2: kind of a weird camp overall. But I guess get
- 28:56Speaker 2: all the knacks out of the way on the first one, right.
- 28:58Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, you're right. A lot of the things that
- 29:00Speaker 4: we had never really seen before. And uh uh just
- 29:03Speaker 4: like I've never really interviewed a nick another nick on
- 29:05Speaker 4: the set here, So this is this is another another first.
- 29:08Speaker 4: You said a snapshot. Uh, and that caught my eye
- 29:12Speaker 4: because it's always more you can do, and uh, I've
- 29:15Speaker 4: impressed you. You grab your own camera, you get your
- 29:17Speaker 4: own camera out here, taking photos you like, you just
- 29:19Speaker 4: like getting doing I think you've had to do that, right, But.
- 29:22Speaker 2: Absolutely, it's just it's part of my it's part of
- 29:24Speaker 2: my tool bag. So yeah, you know, yeah, I felt
- 29:26Speaker 2: like integrating it and it's been it's been really good
- 29:28Speaker 2: as well. So you know, keep everybody on their toes
- 29:30Speaker 2: a little bit.
- 29:31Speaker 4: Maybe in the column that we talked about Nick at
- 29:33Speaker 4: Night and you'll be doing that every Tuesday during the
- 29:35Speaker 4: season at at at you know, in the evening time.
- 29:38Speaker 4: What what what do you think the theme of your
- 29:41Speaker 4: column will be? What kind of style do you want
- 29:43Speaker 4: to bring here?
- 29:44Speaker 15: Yeah, it's it's trying to be just barbershop talk kind
- 29:46Speaker 15: of you know.
- 29:47Speaker 2: I I really do appreciate my barber and whenever I
- 29:50Speaker 2: go in and we're able to just talk shop and
- 29:52Speaker 2: you know, there's no pressure around it and we have
- 29:54Speaker 2: you know, constructive conversation, and I kind of wanted to
- 29:56Speaker 2: feel like that, you know, but also, you know, just
- 29:58Speaker 2: maybe even like having a beer with you're having to
- 30:00Speaker 2: be with your buddy and just talking like I'm talking
- 30:02Speaker 2: me to you right now. That's how I wanted to
- 30:03Speaker 2: feel whenever I'm writing to the uh, to the audience
- 30:06Speaker 2: and actually Patrick Walker helped me out. Helped me out
- 30:09Speaker 2: with that a lot earlier in the week because I
- 30:11Speaker 2: was just kind of bouncing ideas off of him when
- 30:13Speaker 2: it came to, you know, putting that column together, and
- 30:15Speaker 2: he was like, man, with me, it's just about talking
- 30:17Speaker 2: to the person in front of you and that's all
- 30:18Speaker 2: you can really do. And that helped me tremendously. That's
- 30:20Speaker 2: that's kind of what I'm trying to accomplish there with it.
- 30:22Speaker 4: Have you ever covered a boxing match before? And did
- 30:25Speaker 4: you feel like you did today? Like a little bit.
- 30:28Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, let me, I've covered wrestling before, but I've
- 30:31Speaker 2: never covered boxing, so definitely a first for me today.
- 30:34Speaker 4: By wrestling way yeah, real like me, it's all real. Sorry,
- 30:40Speaker 4: it's all real, just scripted. I apologize to the purest uh.
- 30:44Speaker 4: But yeah, but this is this one was some hands
- 30:47Speaker 4: being thrown. It was fun to see the intensity.
- 30:49Speaker 2: It was funny because we were talking about it with
- 30:50Speaker 2: Mike McCarthy and his press conference, so maybe in his
- 30:53Speaker 2: walk off after the press conference today and we're like, so, you.
- 30:57Speaker 15: Know, there hasn't been any fights at practice, you know,
- 30:59Speaker 15: why is that?
- 31:00Speaker 2: And sure enough it happened and then Mike McCarthy found
- 31:02Speaker 2: the media group after and he said, you guys playing
- 31:05Speaker 2: at this, y'all did this.
- 31:06Speaker 15: So yeah, it was a fun moment, but it's good
- 31:09Speaker 15: to see. Honestly. You need that intensity, especially going into
- 31:11Speaker 15: the season, and you want.
- 31:12Speaker 4: That as long as and I say this because I
- 31:15Speaker 4: remember there was one at least one time at training camp.
- 31:18Speaker 4: I saw it where it starts here and it goes
- 31:22Speaker 4: to the locker room and then it gets nasty, and
- 31:24Speaker 4: then that's personal and all that. If as long as
- 31:26Speaker 4: it can start and end here, then I think that's
- 31:29Speaker 4: healthy and hopefully that's kind of that's what happens here.
- 31:32Speaker 4: All right, we go to Seattle this week. What are
- 31:35Speaker 4: you looking forward to seeing in the game against the Seahawks?
- 31:39Speaker 16: Uh?
- 31:39Speaker 2: Yeah, the RB two situation is still something that's very
- 31:41Speaker 2: fluid and I'm very looking, very much looking forward to
- 31:44Speaker 2: seeing develops as that game goes on. You know, Duce
- 31:47Speaker 2: Vaughan was the hero in the last game, but I
- 31:48Speaker 2: think there was a lot to like from Rico Dawdle
- 31:50Speaker 2: as well, aside from his fumble. You know, I want
- 31:52Speaker 2: to see Malik Davis get more valuable opportunities. He came
- 31:56Speaker 2: in with the first team or quote unquote first team
- 31:58Speaker 2: and went against the Jacksonville first team against the Jaguars
- 32:02Speaker 2: and didn't really have many opportunities to find some holes
- 32:04Speaker 2: whenever the offensive line got settled. So I want to
- 32:07Speaker 2: see him get some opportunities and just kind of see
- 32:08Speaker 2: that room developed. That's really what I want to see.
- 32:10Speaker 4: About the quarterback position. I mean, I know that Cooper
- 32:13Speaker 4: Rush and Will Grid and only other backups here. Do
- 32:17Speaker 4: you feel like, well, Will Greer has a chance to
- 32:19Speaker 4: maybe unsee Cooper, I mean, I.
- 32:20Speaker 15: Don't believe so.
- 32:22Speaker 2: I think we actually talked about it in the mailbag
- 32:23Speaker 2: this morning. I really like what Cooper Rush has done
- 32:26Speaker 2: specifically here at training camp. He's a model of consistency
- 32:30Speaker 2: and every single day he comes out here, you're gonna
- 32:32Speaker 2: get the same product from Cooper and you know what
- 32:33Speaker 2: that is. And I've been writing about that, and Mike
- 32:35Speaker 2: mentioned that today in his press conference as well, So
- 32:37Speaker 2: I was like, Hey, I'm doing something right. Go But
- 32:40Speaker 2: talking about Will Greer, He's still doing great things. He
- 32:42Speaker 2: got a lot of playing time against Jacksonville. He's going
- 32:44Speaker 2: to be that home run type of guy. I think
- 32:46Speaker 2: if you want to have two different backups that have
- 32:48Speaker 2: two completely different stylistically as style games.
- 32:52Speaker 15: Then you have those two guys here.
- 32:53Speaker 4: Already, then last one individually, you're I mean you're on
- 32:58Speaker 4: Talkie Cowboys, not individual, but you're on the show Talking
- 33:01Speaker 4: Cowboys with Kyle Isaiah, John Mashowda me doing some different
- 33:07Speaker 4: things there. What do you what do you like out
- 33:08Speaker 4: of the podcast? What is You've had some experience on podcasts,
- 33:11Speaker 4: but what do you like out of the Talking Cowboys?
- 33:13Speaker 12: Yeah?
- 33:13Speaker 15: Talking Cowboys.
- 33:14Speaker 2: I think we really I think we have a healthy
- 33:16Speaker 2: balance of getting into the nitty gritty of what's going
- 33:19Speaker 2: on on the field and with the team, and then
- 33:21Speaker 2: also just kind of letting loose at times. So if
- 33:24Speaker 2: you're looking for that healthy balance, I feel like we
- 33:25Speaker 2: do a good job of that. Isaiah brings so much
- 33:27Speaker 2: knowledge to our table. I'm blessed to be able to
- 33:31Speaker 2: be on a show with him, and then you know
- 33:32Speaker 2: Kyle being the professional host that he is, and John
- 33:35Speaker 2: having the experience on the beat.
- 33:36Speaker 15: I feel like we have all bases covered.
- 33:38Speaker 4: Yeah, well it's been I don't know what I bring though,
- 33:39Speaker 4: You're gonna have to tell me that. No, No, you
- 33:42Speaker 4: bring a guy I mean just ready to work, man.
- 33:44Speaker 4: I love. I love having you so far. You've been
- 33:46Speaker 4: in great addition to the team, and I know you
- 33:48Speaker 4: were chomping at the bit to get here. We've been
- 33:51Speaker 4: talking about this for a little bit to get to
- 33:52Speaker 4: get you on board, so it was it was great
- 33:55Speaker 4: when when that finally happened. I remember calling you at
- 33:57Speaker 4: at that midnight or you called me back and You're like,
- 34:00Speaker 4: we're doing this. I was excited.
- 34:02Speaker 2: Yeah, honestly, I'd love to tell a story a little bit.
- 34:04Speaker 2: I was in I was in New Orleans covering something
- 34:07Speaker 2: from my last job. I was on like a two
- 34:08Speaker 2: week work trip out there and made the decision driving
- 34:12Speaker 2: back from a game in Lafayette and called called Nick
- 34:16Speaker 2: whenever I got into my hotel and signed the thing
- 34:18Speaker 2: and sent it in.
- 34:19Speaker 4: So it was done. Like I think you waited for
- 34:21Speaker 4: an NBA playoff game to be over or something like probably.
- 34:23Speaker 2: I'm a huge NBA fan, so there's a high chance
- 34:26Speaker 2: I was like, hey, wait till the end of this
- 34:27Speaker 2: Heat game really quick.
- 34:28Speaker 4: Big Heat fan, big Jimmy Butler fan. If Jimmy Butler
- 34:32Speaker 4: went to another team, is that your favorite team?
- 34:34Speaker 15: Yeah, is Jimmy Butler. I've been riding with him since
- 34:36Speaker 15: that's Taylor Junior college days.
- 34:38Speaker 4: Awesome, there we are, all right, Nick Harris, you can
- 34:42Speaker 4: check him out. Like I said on Talking Cowboys. Also
- 34:45Speaker 4: is call him Nick Nick at night every Tuesday and
- 34:48Speaker 4: then also about two or three stories a day on
- 34:51Speaker 4: our website. He's not writing it, Patrick Walker is. We're
- 34:54Speaker 4: gonna get Patrick in there. Thanks Nick for coming by.
- 34:56Speaker 4: All right, but see you man, Here we go, Here
- 34:59Speaker 4: we go, Patrick Walker? What's up? Man? This will be
- 35:03Speaker 4: our final final guest. Oh sorry, sorry, sorry leaving them
- 35:07Speaker 4: hanging just looking at the like six cameras here. All right, Pat,
- 35:12Speaker 4: what is up man?
- 35:13Speaker 12: Hey?
- 35:13Speaker 16: It was a fun practice here at a Cowboys training camp,
- 35:18Speaker 16: final padded practice and ox.
- 35:19Speaker 4: And nod and it went out with a bank a
- 35:21Speaker 4: split decision for the defense or who wins.
- 35:24Speaker 16: The it's a split decision the offense got there. There's
- 35:28Speaker 16: in Ty would be at his draw. Yeah, it's a
- 35:30Speaker 16: draw tank, and Michael, they got theirs in, so let's
- 35:34Speaker 16: let's call it a draw tank.
- 35:35Speaker 4: Is as veteran as you are, get your helmet on
- 35:39Speaker 4: when you're in the middle.
- 35:40Speaker 1: Of that mix like that tanks is when it's time
- 35:42Speaker 1: to go.
- 35:46Speaker 4: That's kind of what you want every practice to be
- 35:49Speaker 4: a draw, right, I mean offense. Oh, but the defense,
- 35:52Speaker 4: you know you want that as a as a team
- 35:53Speaker 4: that you're covering here.
- 35:54Speaker 1: Yeah, you do.
- 35:55Speaker 16: And and speaking about it from the aspect of reps,
- 35:59Speaker 16: I mean you you even got that over the course
- 36:01Speaker 16: of training camp, as far as Dak Prescott in the
- 36:03Speaker 16: offense getting their fair share of shots in with touchdowns
- 36:08Speaker 16: and first downs and things like that within the defense,
- 36:11Speaker 16: and Trevon Diggs.
- 36:12Speaker 1: I mean it happened today alone, within a span of three.
- 36:15Speaker 16: Plays, you had Dak Prescott finding Michael Gallup for a
- 36:18Speaker 16: touchdown and then you had Trevon Diggs with a pick six.
- 36:21Speaker 1: So you love to see that.
- 36:23Speaker 4: Who has been your MVP of camp other than eleven.
- 36:28Speaker 16: Other than Michah Yeah, okay, so we'll go with other
- 36:31Speaker 16: than Micah. I'm gonna go with Brandon Cooks. Yeah, I'm
- 36:37Speaker 16: gonna go with Brandon Cooks. I think Brandon Cooks came
- 36:41Speaker 16: in and made an immediate impact, and he's been making
- 36:43Speaker 16: an impact for this team from OTA's through many camp
- 36:46Speaker 16: training camp, not just with his on the field play,
- 36:49Speaker 16: which we already know what he's capable of there, but
- 36:52Speaker 16: we talked about it on Cowboys Break. It's also his
- 36:55Speaker 16: impact on guys like Jaylen Tobert On, guys like c d. Lamb,
- 36:58Speaker 16: that friendly competition as far as who makes the next
- 37:01Speaker 16: big play. And then of course the fact that he
- 37:04Speaker 16: elevates the weaponry for Dak Prescott and allowing Mike McCarthy
- 37:08Speaker 16: to really take this Texas Coast offense to another level.
- 37:11Speaker 1: So for me, I'm gonna go Brandon Cooks since I
- 37:13Speaker 1: can't go Michael.
- 37:15Speaker 4: Yeah. I mean, you know, I always you gotta start
- 37:18Speaker 4: with the obvious, and you said earlier, you know, on
- 37:20Speaker 4: on on Cowboys Break, and you know how just how
- 37:22Speaker 4: dominant he's been. And I even asked Zach martin U
- 37:25Speaker 4: in the segment before, but how do you evaluate the
- 37:28Speaker 4: other tackles when it's like, okay.
- 37:30Speaker 16: When it's unfair, Michael just looks unstoppable. And I guess
- 37:34Speaker 16: it's just a matter of understanding that Michael's going to
- 37:37Speaker 16: do what Michael does. So whenever there is a rep
- 37:41Speaker 16: that he doesn't win, maybe you give extra credit to
- 37:45Speaker 16: that particular block right as opposed to this traditional credit.
- 37:48Speaker 16: So I guess you have to evaluate it that way.
- 37:50Speaker 16: But you know, Mike is just on another level. But
- 37:53Speaker 16: that's not to say that. You know, guys like Tyrone Smith,
- 37:56Speaker 16: who's looked very well, looked very good in this camp,
- 37:59Speaker 16: and some of these other guys, I mean, they're stepping
- 38:01Speaker 16: up Terrence Steel as well.
- 38:02Speaker 1: But Michael's going to Michael.
- 38:03Speaker 4: Mike is gonna Michael. What I love that he's done
- 38:06Speaker 4: is is not just getting to the quarterback. He stops
- 38:09Speaker 4: the run on the outside. He snuffed some of these
- 38:11Speaker 4: plays out. Not just one of those guys that's just
- 38:13Speaker 4: thinking sack sack, get to the quarterback and actually gives
- 38:16Speaker 4: up running plays behind him. He actually has been disciplined
- 38:18Speaker 4: in the run as well as as still a pass preusher.
- 38:21Speaker 4: That right there is lethal combinations.
- 38:23Speaker 16: Yes, indeed, and that was something some of the Cowboys
- 38:26Speaker 16: fans kind of asked me coming into this season, saying,
- 38:29Speaker 16: you know, what would you what would I like to
- 38:31Speaker 16: see Michael improve upon it. It's hard to evaluate a
- 38:34Speaker 16: guy that is this good in so many things, but
- 38:36Speaker 16: I pointed at the run defense and I said, you know,
- 38:39Speaker 16: it's just a matter of being able to know when
- 38:42Speaker 16: to pull back and change gears and go out to
- 38:44Speaker 16: the flat and peel off.
- 38:45Speaker 1: And we're seeing that in camp now. He can peel off.
- 38:47Speaker 16: And today he had a play where he chased the
- 38:49Speaker 16: back running back down from behind opposite side of the field,
- 38:52Speaker 16: so the run defense has stepped up as well.
- 38:54Speaker 1: Where's his weakness?
- 38:55Speaker 4: I don't know, I don't know. Yeah, I mean he's
- 39:00Speaker 4: he was actually punching today too, you know what I mean.
- 39:02Speaker 4: Maybe it's weakness is his hand since he's hitting him
- 39:04Speaker 4: face mask. Hopefully nothing wrong. There we go. I'm gonna
- 39:07Speaker 4: let you talk about yourself here for a couple questions.
- 39:10Speaker 4: Number one, also, like you said, Cowboys Break, we're shuffling
- 39:13Speaker 4: things around and you join Cowboys Break. What have you
- 39:17Speaker 4: liked so far about that team?
- 39:19Speaker 16: Cowboys Break is always going to be fun when you're
- 39:22Speaker 16: talking about it. And I've got to kind of reunite
- 39:24Speaker 16: there with you a little bit this week. But the
- 39:26Speaker 16: traditional setup with Derek, myself, Ambar and Brian, I mean,
- 39:29Speaker 16: that's just such a wealth of knowledge and such a
- 39:32Speaker 16: wealth of personality that it's fun to be able to
- 39:36Speaker 16: engage and talk smart football, smart Cowboys football with Ambarr
- 39:40Speaker 16: and the guys, and it's tune in.
- 39:42Speaker 1: I mean, it's gonna be as fun as it's ever been.
- 39:45Speaker 4: Yeah. And then also on your column that you write
- 39:48Speaker 4: every Thursday, the Science Lab where you bring science into football.
- 39:52Speaker 4: Explain to the viewers a little bit about that.
- 39:54Speaker 1: For those that haven't begun following me just yet in White,
- 39:57Speaker 1: what are you waiting on?
- 40:00Speaker 16: My whole brand is built upon just the science of
- 40:02Speaker 16: football and understanding that facts don't care about your feelings,
- 40:05Speaker 16: and that includes me as well. So if you have
- 40:07Speaker 16: a take that you're dug into and the facts disprove that,
- 40:11Speaker 16: be willing to come off of that take. So every week,
- 40:13Speaker 16: every Thursday, we break down what happened with the Cowboys
- 40:16Speaker 16: last game, what to look forward to in the game
- 40:18Speaker 16: to come, and that includes the good, the bad, and
- 40:20Speaker 16: the ugly, always positioned in a way for you guys
- 40:23Speaker 16: to be able to digest it.
- 40:24Speaker 4: All. Right, Well this is That's a great way to
- 40:27Speaker 4: wrap this up. I wanted to get some teammate UH
- 40:30Speaker 4: teammates involved here. We certainly have done that. We ended
- 40:32Speaker 4: with with uh Patrick Walker and Pat thanks for stopping by.
- 40:36Speaker 4: This will be the second to last show. We are
- 40:38Speaker 4: going to have a show tomorrow on Cowboys storyline. I'm
- 40:41Speaker 4: looking forward to that four word We'll see. I'm just
- 40:46Speaker 4: gonna say I think Dak Prescot. All right, I think
- 40:50Speaker 4: I think he's gonna be on the show tomorrow. I
- 40:51Speaker 4: really do Dak Prescott hopefully on the show. If he's not,
- 40:54Speaker 4: we will blame some That's my forecast for tomorrow. Okay,
- 40:57Speaker 4: we go all day long. Here's a forward. All right,
- 41:00Speaker 4: all right, Chris Bream's getting hungry up there. It's time
- 41:02Speaker 4: to go. That's the end of Cowboys storyline. We'll see
- 41:05Speaker 4: tomorrow bye.
