Speaker 1: The following is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com
0:07
Speaker 1: and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
0:11
Speaker 2: Cowboys.
0:14
Speaker 1: This is these Cowboys Storylines with Nick Eatman.
0:22
Speaker 3: What is up? It is time for another edition of
0:24
Speaker 3: Cowboys Storyline. I'm Nick Eatman, your host. We got a
0:28
Speaker 3: special show for you today. We're expecting Deuce Vaughn, rookie
0:31
Speaker 3: running back to join us here. It's gonna be a
0:34
Speaker 3: good one. I mean, we we've had some great guests
0:36
Speaker 3: so far. We've got some We've got first year guys,
0:39
Speaker 3: sixth year guys. Haven't had a rookie just yet. But
0:43
Speaker 3: we're definitely excited about getting deuced one of the most
0:46
Speaker 3: talked about six round picks we've had in a long
0:48
Speaker 3: long time. All Right, like we do every time, we're
0:52
Speaker 3: gonna do the storylines. We're also gonna answer your question.
0:54
Speaker 3: It's got a lot rolling in the text line, which
0:57
Speaker 3: I'll give you that number here in a little bit.
1:01
Speaker 3: We've got we've got great storylines today. I mean, big
1:06
Speaker 3: news happening here that usually happens on a day off.
1:08
Speaker 3: You get a day off, then the next thing you know,
1:11
Speaker 3: a lot of things are happening here at practice. So
1:14
Speaker 3: before we even got there, we had news with the
1:16
Speaker 3: kicker situation. Kind of expected. Tristan, this guy you know,
1:20
Speaker 3: was released, did not have a great practice on Saturday,
1:23
Speaker 3: has not been practicing well. Brandon Aubrey's gonna get the
1:27
Speaker 3: majority of the kicks and so that's something that we
1:30
Speaker 3: will see moving forward. That's what Mike McCarthy talked about today,
1:34
Speaker 3: really excited about giving him some opportunities to get majority
1:37
Speaker 3: of the reps. Right now, he's the only kicker, so
1:40
Speaker 3: he's gonna get all of the reps. And as practice
1:43
Speaker 3: went on today, he did not have the best practice.
1:46
Speaker 3: Missed a few in the in the special teams period there,
1:51
Speaker 3: Like I've said a thousand times, not the easiest place
1:53
Speaker 3: to kick, but there's no excuses make the kicks. So
1:57
Speaker 3: Brandon Aubrey's getting the opportunity right now. I don't know
1:59
Speaker 3: if he he had his best day, hope not because
2:02
Speaker 3: he missed a few kicks. But as McCarthy says, they're
2:07
Speaker 3: always open for business when it comes to getting a
2:09
Speaker 3: veteran right now, they don't need to go get a
2:12
Speaker 3: veteran kicker. They want to just see what they've got
2:14
Speaker 3: right here. There's no need, there's no games. Same with
2:16
Speaker 3: running back. You know, Zeke's name keeps getting mentioned other
2:21
Speaker 3: backup running backs. If there's no need right now, just
2:23
Speaker 3: let the young guys get the reps. Let's see what happens.
2:26
Speaker 3: That's why it is with kicker right now, Brandon Aubrey
2:28
Speaker 3: is the kicker. He'll probably get all of the snaps
2:31
Speaker 3: I would imagine going into Saturday's preseason game against Jacksonville. Okay,
2:36
Speaker 3: a couple of guys did come back to practice today.
2:39
Speaker 3: First time we've really got to see Luke Schoonmaker, the
2:42
Speaker 3: rookie tight end from Michigan's working his way into practice.
2:45
Speaker 3: He's been out with the foot injury plant our fascii.
2:49
Speaker 3: This is exactly what it is. And then from what
2:51
Speaker 3: I understand that that's one of the most painful injuries.
2:54
Speaker 3: It's just really hard to get over it because you're
2:57
Speaker 3: trying to get your conditionings. He'd stay back and be
2:59
Speaker 3: ready at the same time you need the off your feet,
3:01
Speaker 3: So that's one of the challenges here. He's working back
3:04
Speaker 3: into practice or taking him off the n f I list.
3:06
Speaker 3: Non Football injury is the list for for players that
3:10
Speaker 3: had a pre existing injury coming in to their time
3:13
Speaker 3: with the Cowboys. Another guy that worked back in to
3:16
Speaker 3: practice today and we saw man team drills was Doran's Armstrong,
3:19
Speaker 3: pass rusher, had a hamstring setback, kept him out for
3:24
Speaker 3: a little bit, working himself back into practice. That's good.
3:28
Speaker 3: Just another another pass rusher for this team, opposite Mic,
3:31
Speaker 3: opposite Tank. Obviously, Sam Williams is in there as well.
3:36
Speaker 3: Dante Fowler has looked pretty good here at training camp.
3:40
Speaker 3: And and you see the fifth guy, fourth guy. I mean,
3:43
Speaker 3: I don't know what the order of the pass rushers is,
3:46
Speaker 3: but you know Dante Fowler number three overall pick several
3:49
Speaker 3: years ago, and and and that just shows the talent
3:52
Speaker 3: that they have. But it's good to see Dorance Armstrong
3:55
Speaker 3: back in there as well. And kind of an update
3:57
Speaker 3: so to speak for Jordan Lewis and Jordan still on
4:02
Speaker 3: pup right now, active pup, he's counting as as as
4:06
Speaker 3: one of the ninety dealing with a foot injury. See
4:09
Speaker 3: him jogging a little bit, though Mike McCarthy said they're
4:12
Speaker 3: still gonna monitor him. Doesn't look like he will be
4:14
Speaker 3: back anytime soon, but but it is encouraging to see
4:19
Speaker 3: the stuff we're seeing on the field for him. When
4:21
Speaker 3: they get to the end of the preseason, they're gonna
4:23
Speaker 3: have to make a decision. Do we keep him on
4:25
Speaker 3: pup and miss four games or is he gonna be ready?
4:29
Speaker 3: So it's gonna come down to the wire on that one.
4:32
Speaker 3: It also will kind of be interesting to see what
4:34
Speaker 3: these other corners are doing. Does someone step up as
4:37
Speaker 3: the fourth corner? Nashun Writ's getting a lot of reps.
4:41
Speaker 3: Kelvin Joseph gets some rep Eric Scott, the rookie Southern
4:44
Speaker 3: Miss sixth round pick. He is doing some some nice
4:47
Speaker 3: things out here too, So be good to have Jordan
4:50
Speaker 3: Lewis back in the mix, But they're not rushing it there.
4:54
Speaker 3: Running back Ronald Jones left practice the other day. Come
4:59
Speaker 3: to find out he's got a groin injury. He will
5:02
Speaker 3: be out for a little while. As what is what
5:05
Speaker 3: was said today by McCarthy. What is a little while
5:09
Speaker 3: depends on you know, your perspective. I guess you know,
5:12
Speaker 3: if you're out in the in the sun for the
5:14
Speaker 3: you know, a little while, that could be ten minutes.
5:16
Speaker 3: But I think he's gonna be out more than more
5:18
Speaker 3: than a week or so. And that's not a bad
5:21
Speaker 3: thing for the other guys. It's not great for Donald
5:24
Speaker 3: Jones because he's gonna miss two games anyways, uh for suspension,
5:28
Speaker 3: So you kind of wanted him to get some reps
5:31
Speaker 3: do some things. That's not gonna happen right now. We
5:36
Speaker 3: leak Davis got most of the of the snaps today,
5:38
Speaker 3: so good. Good to see him as the as the
5:42
Speaker 3: Actually he was the only running back because we had
5:44
Speaker 3: Tony Pollard had a personal day, as did Ceedee Lamb.
5:48
Speaker 3: So that's kind of I think we can we can
5:50
Speaker 3: talk to some other guys on the running back situation,
5:52
Speaker 3: like a Douce Von Uh, who's gonna be joining us
5:54
Speaker 3: here in just the moment. So we're gonna take a
5:56
Speaker 3: quick break. We're gonna get Deuce Von up here and
5:58
Speaker 3: we're gonna he's gonna answer your questions. Coming to write
6:01

8:28
Speaker 3: kind of we're kind of uh mesmerized a little bit,

Speaker 3: both of us here because we've got I think we've
8:35
Speaker 3: got Tom Cruise here from from Maverick. That's what definitely

Speaker 2: You know, I appreciate and uh honor people that do
9:15
Speaker 2: their own stunts, so you know, I study you.
9:18
Speaker 3: Yeah, running right. Well, I've been waiting so long to
9:22
Speaker 3: get Deuce up here. But yeah, and I feel bad
9:24
Speaker 3: because it's like you're taking over but.
9:26
Speaker 5: Not going to take your moment than it's a pleasure honestly.
9:28
Speaker 3: All right, he's got some jets. That's pretty cool. Okay,
9:36
Speaker 3: where we were were talking here, dude, tell us a
9:39
Speaker 3: little bit though about about practice here and how things
9:42
Speaker 3: have been. You've been talked about a whole lot. Everyone
9:44
Speaker 3: wants to ask the same questions. How's he going to
9:46
Speaker 3: adjust to the NFL so far? How has it gone
9:49
Speaker 3: for you?
9:49
Speaker 4: It's going?
9:50
Speaker 10: Well, the biggest thing for myself is kind of coming
9:53
Speaker 10: in and just wanting to get the mental and the
9:55
Speaker 10: physical side down of of just becoming a pro, you know,
9:58
Speaker 10: and coming in and and asking questions of being a
10:01
Speaker 10: sponsor to the veterans, being a sponsor to the coaches
10:03
Speaker 10: and everybody in here too, so I can come out
10:04
Speaker 10: here and put my best foot forward as we go
10:06
Speaker 10: through camp and as begins to these preseason games, and
10:09
Speaker 10: for myself, just trying to take it day by day,
10:11
Speaker 10: play by play, because that's exactly how you how you
10:13
Speaker 10: keep us succeeding and keep I guess evolving as a player.
10:16
Speaker 4: Early on.
10:18
Speaker 3: Well, other than Stephen Jones and maybe Jerry Jones Junior,
10:21
Speaker 3: most people's dad aren't here at camp now. I guess
10:25
Speaker 3: Chris find is he is? He left camp? Is he
10:27
Speaker 3: still Okay?
10:28
Speaker 5: He left that first weekend? So he was here for
10:30
Speaker 5: the first week. It's crazy. That's the first time you
10:32
Speaker 5: see me practice ever?
10:33
Speaker 10: Like which ever, because he was a coach before he
10:36
Speaker 10: got into the profession, so he was always coaching his
10:39
Speaker 10: his own players.
10:40
Speaker 5: I was playing.
10:41
Speaker 3: So how how was that? How was it like to
10:42
Speaker 3: have him here? And you know you said you were
10:45
Speaker 3: like a sponge to mean you talk to him every day?
10:47
Speaker 5: Did he call you to be I mean, our relationship
10:49
Speaker 5: is so personal.
10:51
Speaker 10: It's not football that I mean, even if he if
10:53
Speaker 10: he even if he wasn't here, I would have talked
10:55
Speaker 10: to him every single day.
10:55
Speaker 7: You know what I mean.
10:56
Speaker 10: And to have him on the sideline while I'm doing
10:58
Speaker 10: the thing that I love and he's out here and
11:00
Speaker 10: he's able to watch, I mean, it's a blessing. It's
11:02
Speaker 10: it's unreal. And it was really really cool for for
11:04
Speaker 10: myself and him. And then uh yeah, man, I mean
11:07
Speaker 10: just it's hard to put into words.
11:09
Speaker 3: Well today, uh Tony Pollard not practicing today, just I
11:14
Speaker 3: guess a veteran day. Ronald Jones has been out now
11:17
Speaker 3: with a with a groin injury. So you got a
11:20
Speaker 3: lot of reps today and and and it wasn't you know,
11:22
Speaker 3: there's been a lot of people say, well, he'll probably
11:25
Speaker 3: have a have a role for him. You were the
11:27
Speaker 3: running back, you were running right through the through the
11:29
Speaker 3: tackles today. What what was that like, getting a lot
11:31
Speaker 3: of reps.
11:32
Speaker 10: It was nice, just another opportunity. That was the biggest thing.
11:35
Speaker 10: Whenever you have two guys that aren't practicing today, the
11:39
Speaker 10: rest of the room much to step up. And that's
11:40
Speaker 10: one of the things that because Blasco told us, he
11:42
Speaker 10: was like, these are more opportunities for y'all.
11:44
Speaker 5: To come out here and show us what y'all can do.
11:46
Speaker 10: And Uh, it's really really cool that not only with
11:50
Speaker 10: those two guys being out, just how much they have
11:51
Speaker 10: influenced us because of that, having these reps and just
11:54
Speaker 10: understand what what what would a Tony Pollard do? Uh,
11:58
Speaker 10: he's the number one back, He's the guy that I
12:00
Speaker 10: was really explosive last year. And be able to talk
12:01
Speaker 10: to him in these past two weeks and now get
12:03
Speaker 10: more opportunities kind of being able to take what he's
12:06
Speaker 10: taught us and and kind of use out on the
12:08
Speaker 10: football field.
12:09
Speaker 5: Was really really good at that.
12:10
Speaker 3: What's the one thing you feel like you've got to
12:12
Speaker 3: prove to any kind of critics or doubt or so whatever,
12:17
Speaker 3: Because obviously you were a very very productive college player
12:19
Speaker 3: All American and went to the sixth round. So there
12:22
Speaker 3: was teams that had their questions, what do you think
12:24
Speaker 3: is the biggest thing you have to show them?
12:27
Speaker 10: Man?
12:27
Speaker 3: Or do you care? Do you even care what they
12:29
Speaker 3: have to say.
12:30
Speaker 10: It's never about proving doubters wrong. So I was about
12:32
Speaker 10: proving the people that believe in me right. It's been
12:34
Speaker 10: like that my entire career. I've had my support system.
12:37
Speaker 10: I've had the people that have been in my corner
12:39
Speaker 10: ever since I was a freshman in high school that
12:41
Speaker 10: I've said, man, we believe in you, and we believe
12:43
Speaker 10: that you're gonna come out here and you're gonna do
12:44
Speaker 10: what you've done this entire time. Coaching staff, players on
12:48
Speaker 10: this team that I've talked to me uh though them
12:50
Speaker 10: as well, So any outside outside noise, outside critics, We're
12:53
Speaker 10: not worried about them. We're about playing football and improving
12:55
Speaker 10: the people that that do believe.
12:56
Speaker 3: Me, Right, dude, I respect the heck out of that mentality.
13:00
Speaker 3: There's that that really is. It's a it's a of course,
13:02
Speaker 3: it's a glass half full mentality. But don't worry about
13:05
Speaker 3: the negative part. Worry about the people that are positive
13:07
Speaker 3: that that's really really refreshing. Everybody's pulling for you. Now, this
13:11
Speaker 3: show we didn't expect to get, you know, interrupted a
13:13
Speaker 3: little bit by Maverick. But that's okay. I guess we
13:16
Speaker 3: have a lot of questions that came in. I'm gonna
13:18
Speaker 3: try to fire from a little bit of fans. This
13:19
Speaker 3: is this is what this show is. That the fans
13:21
Speaker 3: get to feel like they get to talk to you
13:22
Speaker 3: a little bit. So I'm gonna I'm gonna go through
13:24
Speaker 3: them quickly. Here, Brandon Laurie says, before heading to training camp,
13:27
Speaker 3: did you get any advice from Darren Sprolls about overcoming
13:31
Speaker 3: size and being a dominant NFL running back?
13:33
Speaker 5: Absolutely.
13:34
Speaker 10: I got to meet Darren Sprolls my sophomore year at
13:37
Speaker 10: k State and got his number and been in contact
13:39
Speaker 10: with him ever since then. And the biggest thing I
13:41
Speaker 10: asked for him was what was your mentality like going
13:43
Speaker 10: in and like you said, proven the doubters wrong early.
13:45
Speaker 10: That was his mentality was proven those doubters wrong, proving
13:48
Speaker 10: people that didn't believe in him to go out here.
13:50
Speaker 10: And of course I took a little bit of a
13:51
Speaker 10: different approach, but I took his words and I was
13:53
Speaker 10: able to use that through OTA's and he said, like
13:55
Speaker 10: I said earlier, be a sponge, catch punts, do everything
13:58
Speaker 10: that you can to be as versatile was possible in
14:00
Speaker 10: the fotball field.
14:01
Speaker 3: Well, this might be the same thing. Dave from South Texas,
14:04
Speaker 3: who was your favorite running back growing up? What parts
14:06
Speaker 3: do you take from him?
14:07
Speaker 10: Yeah, my favorite room back growing up was Barry Sanders.
14:10
Speaker 10: I watched Barry Sanders from Whenever I started playing football
14:12
Speaker 10: as a as a flag football player. All the way
14:15
Speaker 10: up until now, He's always been a guy that emulated.
14:17
Speaker 10: I mean, just the way that it was beautiful, the
14:19
Speaker 10: way he played football. That's probably the only word I
14:21
Speaker 10: can use to describe Barry Sanders. I mean making guys
14:24
Speaker 10: miss able to stay up on contact and able to
14:27
Speaker 10: turn negative players into touchdowns and explosive plays.
14:30
Speaker 5: I mean, just love whether he played football.
14:31
Speaker 10: And of course when I grew up darren Spros, the
14:33
Speaker 10: Denny Woodheads, the wes Wealkers and all those pm I
14:36
Speaker 10: love watching those guys too.
14:37
Speaker 3: I guarantee defensive players did not think Barry Sanders was
14:40
Speaker 3: beautiful to watch as they were getting their ankles broken.
14:43
Speaker 3: All that, all right, William Arthur Deuce. Are we sticking
14:46
Speaker 3: with forty two this season?
14:48
Speaker 10: It's starting to grow on me. At first I would
14:50
Speaker 10: have said no, but it's starting to grow on me
14:51
Speaker 10: a little bit. Of course, we'll see once number starts
14:55
Speaker 10: open up and stuff like that, and if that happens.
14:57
Speaker 10: But I mean, I would not be mad at forty
14:58
Speaker 10: two at all.
14:59
Speaker 3: All right, Dustin low Miller, he said, ask a dudece
15:02
Speaker 3: fine if he takes if it takes less of a
15:05
Speaker 3: beating because of the smaller size, or is it kind
15:10
Speaker 3: of doesn't make it worse. I mean, because it feels
15:11
Speaker 3: like they gonna find you first, you know, is it
15:14
Speaker 3: Have you known over the years that it's you've kind
15:16
Speaker 3: of been a tough target for people.
15:18
Speaker 5: This is a great question.
15:19
Speaker 10: Over the past two years of Kansas State, I mean,
15:20
Speaker 10: I touched the ball over three hundred times both seasons,
15:23
Speaker 10: and it's one of those things where you having a
15:25
Speaker 10: smaller body does help, being able to take on half
15:28
Speaker 10: a man, be able to shield off on some of
15:30
Speaker 10: the hits that you you kind of take that if
15:33
Speaker 10: you're a bigger guy, would be a direct shot. And
15:36
Speaker 10: over the time I've been able to take care of
15:37
Speaker 10: my body really well allasball feel while that just being
15:40
Speaker 10: kind of moved, consorting and things like that to be
15:42
Speaker 10: able to fall and be hitting places that don't really.
15:44
Speaker 3: Hurt all right, Last one, Last one produced Brett Bender.
15:47
Speaker 3: His question is how how much experience do you have
15:50
Speaker 3: as a return man? Is being an emergency returner role
15:54
Speaker 3: you would want with the Cowboys?
15:55
Speaker 5: Absolutely?
15:56
Speaker 10: Learning behind turf right now has been probably been the
15:58
Speaker 10: coolest thing just because of him being a pro bowler
16:01
Speaker 10: and the way that he attacks the field whenever it
16:04
Speaker 10: comes to being a part returner. Kick returner is I mean, unbelievable.
16:08
Speaker 10: So being able to learn behind him as huge and
16:09
Speaker 10: now I got to do it my freshman year at
16:11
Speaker 10: Kansas State and throughout high school as well. But it's
16:14
Speaker 10: been two years just because of my low on offense,
16:15
Speaker 10: so I'm getting back into it.

18:50
Speaker 3: I'm Nick Eatman and awesome producer Chris Beam hooked us
18:54
Speaker 3: up with some shade. He's always got some shade, literally
18:58
Speaker 3: sometimes figuratively. We really want to thank Duce Vaughan for
19:02
Speaker 3: coming by and Tom Cruise look alike. I don't know
19:07
Speaker 3: his name, honestly, this is the second time that I've
19:09
Speaker 3: seen him out here, and any other person that was
19:14
Speaker 3: just walking around I probably wouldn't say, yeah, okay, come
19:17
Speaker 3: on into the Duce Vaughn Interview. I've been trying to
19:20
Speaker 3: get him for a couple of weeks now, and then
19:21
Speaker 3: all of a sudden, Maverick comes in. But if you
19:26
Speaker 3: know anything about me in movies, I've seen that movie
19:32
Speaker 3: Top Gun Maverick probably like thirty times, and it just
19:35
Speaker 3: came out last year. I saw it in the theaters
19:38
Speaker 3: here an ox Star for the fifth time. That's where
19:42
Speaker 3: my money went, probably going the theater five times. But
19:45
Speaker 3: love the movie. It's one of my favorite of all
19:48
Speaker 3: time already. I love Top Gun. Grew up on it,
19:52
Speaker 3: this movie. I think it's phenomenal. And this guy, I mean,
19:59
Speaker 3: he does he can make some money if he doesn't
20:01
Speaker 3: already with that setup. I mean, he sounds like it
20:05
Speaker 3: looks like him. I bet he's got people looking at
20:08
Speaker 3: him like wow. Of course the sunglasses work, obviously, can't
20:12
Speaker 3: just walk around with sunglasses all the time, I guess.
20:14
Speaker 3: But anyways, that was awesome. And then just talking to
20:16
Speaker 3: Deuce about actual football, you know, that was cool. I really,
20:20
Speaker 3: I really like what I'm seeing out of him. I
20:22
Speaker 3: do think I think he's got something something to it.
20:25
Speaker 3: I mean, because he was a really, really really great
20:30
Speaker 3: football player in college and it's the I'm sorry, the
20:34
Speaker 3: game is pretty much the same. You know, you'll have
20:37
Speaker 3: these purists that say it's a completely different game. So
20:40
Speaker 3: why I always hate it when the guy that wins
20:43
Speaker 3: the Heisman like gets drafted in the fifth round or
20:46
Speaker 3: something like that. That's like, you're not the best player
20:48
Speaker 3: in college football if you don't translate to that. My
20:51
Speaker 3: point is I think his game will translate. I'm not
20:54
Speaker 3: sure what thirty two teams. I'll say thirty two teams
20:57
Speaker 3: what they didn't see in the first five rounds. But
21:01
Speaker 3: Cowboys took him and and you know, I think he's
21:04
Speaker 3: gonna be a difference maker. Today at practice, he really
21:07
Speaker 3: did a nice job of running in between the tackles.
21:10
Speaker 3: That was impressive there. So one of the questions we
21:12
Speaker 3: didn't get to, Shannon Washington says, this is produced since
21:16
Speaker 3: sorry I couldn't ask Deuce himself. But I know your
21:19
Speaker 3: rookie might feel awkward in your meetings, but are you
21:21
Speaker 3: telling the coaches what plays informations work for you and
21:24
Speaker 3: your skill set? I doubt he's doing that, Dad, He's
21:27
Speaker 3: saying this is what works for me unless they ask.
21:31
Speaker 3: But as we've seen today, he's gonna I think he's
21:34
Speaker 3: gonna play running back. I don't think there's gonna be
21:36
Speaker 3: all these gadget special plays. He's gonna play running back.
21:38
Speaker 3: They're gonna try to get him in space. He's not
21:40
Speaker 3: gonna make a living in between the tackles. But I
21:43
Speaker 3: think he can do it every every now and then
21:45
Speaker 3: and then, and I think there's there's a role. There's
21:48
Speaker 3: there's a role for him for sure. There's not many
21:50
Speaker 3: six round picks that you're like, all right, what number
21:52
Speaker 3: are you gonna wear when you make the team. And
21:55
Speaker 3: but that's kind of where we are with him. So impressive.
21:58
Speaker 3: All right, let's go to some other questions here. William
22:01
Speaker 3: Houchins from West Virginia. He says, is Jalen brooks biggest
22:06
Speaker 3: contribution going coming as a special teams player or as
22:09
Speaker 3: a receiver. It's a great question. I say this all
22:13
Speaker 3: the time. Receivers get to this spot because they catch
22:16
Speaker 3: the ball, they run routes, they have great speed and
22:19
Speaker 3: all that. That's how they get on the roster. How
22:22
Speaker 3: do they make the team is how they tackle, how
22:24
Speaker 3: they hit, how they run down on cover punts. That's
22:27
Speaker 3: what's gonna separate him. Great question from somebody that knows
22:30
Speaker 3: the game. Thos been around, seen this before. But now
22:35
Speaker 3: what he's doing right now is he's making catches as
22:37
Speaker 3: a receiver to the point where he he's he's probably
22:44
Speaker 3: jumped Jalen Tolbert. I would imagine he definitely doesn't. And
22:47
Speaker 3: the reps as far as working with first team and
22:50
Speaker 3: all that, he's just a bigger receiver. He's catching everything
22:56
Speaker 3: if he makes But think about it. You take him
22:58
Speaker 3: to say he makes the team, take him to the game.
23:00
Speaker 3: He's got to be your best guy on special teams.
23:02
Speaker 3: He's got to be a guy, a gunner. You can
23:04
Speaker 3: go down there and and and and make a contribution
23:07
Speaker 3: that way. But you know, he's making a case for
23:11
Speaker 3: fourth receiver. Turpen's gonna be interesting on how that that
23:16
Speaker 3: falls into play as well. All Right, Brett Bender says Nick,
23:20
Speaker 3: how confident are you with the abilities of this young
23:22
Speaker 3: running back room if we roll into week one with Pollard,
23:26
Speaker 3: Malik or Rico and Deuce confident? Uh don't love it.
23:35
Speaker 3: I think there needs to be a little bit more
23:37
Speaker 3: beef at the running back position, especially with Deuce in
23:41
Speaker 3: there as well. I know what I just said, but
23:43
Speaker 3: I'm just saying I still think you need a change
23:45
Speaker 3: of pay Sky. Malik can kind of do that. Malik's
23:50
Speaker 3: looks really big when you put him next to Pollard
23:52
Speaker 3: and Deuce He's but I think they can get it done.
23:56
Speaker 3: I'd like a little bit more power there. But you know,
24:01
Speaker 3: the Giants got a strong front up there, so that
24:04
Speaker 3: that's going to be interesting to see what happens there.
24:09
Speaker 3: Maybe this question comes from someone at the Giants, Daniel Jones,
24:14
Speaker 3: Daniel T. Jones, probably not the quarterback, but his question is,
24:19
Speaker 3: would you play Micah in the preseason. I would bet
24:23
Speaker 3: Daniel Jones, the Giants quarterback, would say yes, play him,
24:27
Speaker 3: wear him down. But no, would you play Micah in
24:32
Speaker 3: the preseason? I would not not worth it. Guy just
24:36
Speaker 3: said out here. He said it yesterday or of Saturday.
24:40
Speaker 3: He said, I'm NFL ready right now. I'm ready to
24:42
Speaker 3: play right now. So if he's ready to play right now,
24:45
Speaker 3: he doesn't need to play three games. You don't need
24:47
Speaker 3: all that. You don't need some left tackle trying to
24:49
Speaker 3: make the team to be a hero and try to
24:51
Speaker 3: block him. Laid after the whistle and then rolled up
24:55
Speaker 3: on No, No, I don't need him to play in
24:58
Speaker 3: the preseason. I need him to play again. It's the
25:00
Speaker 3: real Daniel Jones Week one against the Giants, all right.
25:04
Speaker 3: The text line had a question here from the five
25:07
Speaker 3: to four to OHO that was the area code is.
25:10
Speaker 3: The question was about he's seen some unofficial depth charts
25:14
Speaker 3: about backup center. Some say Fernioc, some say Hoffman. Keyword unofficial.
25:23
Speaker 3: This week is interesting because there's a game coming up,
25:25
Speaker 3: and typically it could be tomorrow when the release comes
25:28
Speaker 3: out from the public relations department. This is always something
25:31
Speaker 3: to watch. When they come out with their release for
25:33
Speaker 3: the game, they will put a depth chart out there,
25:35
Speaker 3: and there is not a depth chart from the Cowboys
25:38
Speaker 3: right now. They will put one out and it'll probably
25:40
Speaker 3: say unofficial. But that's where you can find out a
25:43
Speaker 3: lot of things. It's good to just see where they
25:45
Speaker 3: put certain players and backup centers. One. I think Fernioc
25:50
Speaker 3: is the backup center. I think he will probably start
25:52
Speaker 3: the game this Saturday at center. Hoffman is interesting. He
25:57
Speaker 3: got some right guard reps today. He splits with Josh Ball.
26:01
Speaker 3: Josh Ball has been getting a lot of them with
26:02
Speaker 3: Zach Martin. Now he got some today at right guard. Huffman.
26:08
Speaker 3: Huffman's the guy to watch here because he's he's a
26:10
Speaker 3: player that's got value. You gotta have value in Farniac
26:13
Speaker 3: does too, but you gotta have some some value. And
26:17
Speaker 3: I think it'll come down to who is the best
26:20
Speaker 3: at one of these positions that they had to start
26:22
Speaker 3: and so position flex is nice, but sometimes you need
26:25
Speaker 3: a little bit more than that. So just check out
26:28
Speaker 3: for that unofficial depth chart when the Cowboys actually put
26:31
Speaker 3: one out, I'm guessing tomorrow maybe, so that'll be that'll
26:35
Speaker 3: be fun to see as always, all right, Philip Hartzell
26:38
Speaker 3: is a short question. He says, how does Dak look?
26:41
Speaker 3: Does he appear more clued in and focused? Mobility? Question mark?
26:47
Speaker 3: Clued in? Not going with you on there. He's always
26:52
Speaker 3: been there, He's always been focused, He's always had mobility.
26:54
Speaker 3: I mean, I think he looks good and and and
26:57
Speaker 3: throwing the ball and and the receiver catching it. That's
27:01
Speaker 3: what it comes down to. Yes, he's doing all these things.
27:03
Speaker 3: Moving around the pocket. I think he moves well. I
27:05
Speaker 3: think he's throwing well on the run. As I always
27:08
Speaker 3: said about Dak. If that just plays football, as weird
27:13
Speaker 3: as that sound or cliche, just be a football player
27:16
Speaker 3: that lines up at quarterback. If you if you're that guy,
27:20
Speaker 3: then then I think he will be He will be great.
27:25
Speaker 3: And that's that's what he was at Mississippi State. It's
27:28
Speaker 3: what he was is his rookie year, that's what he's been.
27:31
Speaker 3: And then he kind of got the you know, stay
27:33
Speaker 3: of the pocket and extend your career, all these things
27:36
Speaker 3: which aren't wrong. But when you are just playing football
27:39
Speaker 3: and running for your life and diving and flipping over
27:42
Speaker 3: people like he did in Arizona a few years ago,
27:44
Speaker 3: just trying to get first downs and touchdowns and win
27:47
Speaker 3: the game and do all those things, I think that's
27:50
Speaker 3: when he's at his best, not worrying about anything else.
27:53
Speaker 3: It's hard to see that out here. You gotta be
27:55
Speaker 3: a gamer. I think he's the ultimate gamer. He was
27:58
Speaker 3: not doing well his rookie year, or if you remember,
28:00
Speaker 3: and he goes to LA against the Rams, and you know,
28:04
Speaker 3: that's the first time we saw him. Oh Okay, this
28:06
Speaker 3: guy's got something. And he continued it from there. So
28:10
Speaker 3: I think he looks great, and he looks great. He's
28:12
Speaker 3: doing he's doing doing well. Offense looks really good. You
28:15
Speaker 3: see him down in the red zone two point conversions.
28:18
Speaker 3: They they they're doing well. And I've said this before.
28:20
Speaker 3: I love the offense, how wide everything is, everything using
28:25
Speaker 3: the whole field. That's getting guys out in space. That's
28:28
Speaker 3: you know, and that's what you want to do when
28:29
Speaker 3: you got little guys. I mean, Cooks isn't big, CD
28:32
Speaker 3: is thin. I mean he's not he's not short, but
28:35
Speaker 3: you know, and then you know, obviously you get Turpen
28:37
Speaker 3: and you'll have Deuce, and you want get them all
28:39
Speaker 3: out there in space. So I think that's one of
28:41
Speaker 3: the reasons why they're doing this all right, Mike d
28:45
Speaker 3: His question is with where going into the Hall of Fame.
28:49
Speaker 3: What are your thoughts on his career and who is
28:53
Speaker 3: next for the Cowboys, maybe going to Canton. My thoughts
28:58
Speaker 3: on DeMarcus where was? He was an abso loot freak.
29:00
Speaker 3: He was just a freak on the field. He did
29:03
Speaker 3: things his I remember being out here two thousand and
29:07
Speaker 3: five where he was running around this big hula hoop
29:09
Speaker 3: and he was barely off the ground but he was
29:11
Speaker 3: moving at full speed. He was so so good, so dynamic,
29:16
Speaker 3: and he was he was a great pass rusher. You know,
29:21
Speaker 3: It's unfortunate kind of how things ended. I think There's
29:23
Speaker 3: some people here that thought his best days were behind him,
29:25
Speaker 3: and maybe so, but he went to Denver and kind
29:29
Speaker 3: of I don't know if resurrected his career, but he
29:31
Speaker 3: certainly had some good years in the Pro Bowl and
29:34
Speaker 3: and Von Miller will tell you that he was a big,
29:36
Speaker 3: big reason for helping him kind of get over the
29:38
Speaker 3: over the hump there and becoming and they were Super
29:41
Speaker 3: Bowl champions. I mean that defense won the Super Bowl.
29:43
Speaker 3: Wasn't Peyton Manning that year? I think I think DeMarcus
29:46
Speaker 3: Ware is certainly a Hall of Famer. He should have
29:48
Speaker 3: been a first ballot. He got caught up in politics
29:50
Speaker 3: last year with the way that they were trying to,
29:53
Speaker 3: you know, distinguish first ballot guys and all that. So
29:56
Speaker 3: I mean, he was, without a doubt should have gone
29:58
Speaker 3: in last year. But I'm happy for him, and I've
30:03
Speaker 3: been doing some work on that. We have a documentary
30:05
Speaker 3: coming out here in the next couple of weeks. Our
30:07
Speaker 3: Deep Blue documentaries will be coming out this week. We
30:10
Speaker 3: got four of them this year. The one on Chuck
30:13
Speaker 3: Hallie will be coming out this week, but we also
30:15
Speaker 3: have one on the two thousand and five draft class. Obviously,
30:18
Speaker 3: the headlined by DeMarcus Ware and just that that entire class,
30:22
Speaker 3: so we have stories on them, so that that should
30:24
Speaker 3: be a lot of fun real quick. Who is next
30:26
Speaker 3: for the Hall of Fame? Well, first of all, next
30:29
Speaker 3: for DeMarcus Ware. Let me, can we get in the
30:31
Speaker 3: Ring of Honor please? I mean that's usually first and
30:33
Speaker 3: then Hall of Fame. I think he's I think he'll
30:36
Speaker 3: go in the Ring of Honor here and maybe even
30:38
Speaker 3: this year. Don't know. Jerry did mention that it was
30:40
Speaker 3: asked about Jimmy Johnson. He's changed the question about jim
30:44
Speaker 3: about DeMarcus Ware. So hopefully usually when they maybe when
30:47
Speaker 3: he gets his ring, he gets a Hall of Fame ring,
30:49
Speaker 3: maybe that's a good time to do it, but as
30:52
Speaker 3: we've seen, they don't always do it on that day.
30:55
Speaker 3: Who is next for the Cowboys? Witting? Jason Witten had
31:01
Speaker 3: that year with the Raiders, so that that slowed him
31:05
Speaker 3: down a little bit. I think he's been out of
31:06
Speaker 3: the league now, this is maybe third year out of
31:08
Speaker 3: the league. That sounds about right. I would think that's
31:11
Speaker 3: probably next. As far as you know, guys that we
31:14
Speaker 3: remember in the last few years, I mean, Everson Walls
31:17
Speaker 3: is still kind of there. You know, he's he's been
31:20
Speaker 3: closed as a senior guy. I think he deserves it.
31:24
Speaker 3: I think Everson Walls was was phenomenal. I hope, I
31:27
Speaker 3: hope he gets it again. Ring of honor would be
31:30
Speaker 3: good for him too. But that's a different committee and
31:34
Speaker 3: a different different thing altogether. Uh he like that interception
31:39
Speaker 3: I just had there on my there as I'm talking
31:41
Speaker 3: about Everson Walls, who did it as well as anybody,
31:44
Speaker 3: uh came into the league getting picks. So that that's
31:48
Speaker 3: why I think. I think Winton and and Walls, I
31:53
Speaker 3: don't know if they're going to go anybody past that.
31:55
Speaker 3: I don't think those I can't see anybody from the
32:00
Speaker 3: Harvey Martin's and Cornell Greens and all that. I'd like
32:03
Speaker 3: to see Nate Newton. But well, hold on, my bad
32:09
Speaker 3: time out. This is such a given that sometimes you
32:11
Speaker 3: forget the best ones. My bad Darren Woodson. I mean,
32:16
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't forget you, Okay, I
32:19
Speaker 3: just I'm out here. I'm not in my office where
32:21
Speaker 3: he has a big picture of Darren Woodson behind me.
32:24
Speaker 3: I'm sorry. I apologize. That was such a no brainer.
32:27
Speaker 3: Sometimes you forget those I think Witten, probably witting in Woods.
32:32
Speaker 3: It will be close. Just get the w's in there, Okay,
32:35
Speaker 3: just Witten, Walls, Woodson, seriously, Woody Danceler, I mean, if
32:41
Speaker 3: you want. I mean that's not really a W. But
32:44
Speaker 3: I couldn't think of anybody else. All Right, that's it
32:48
Speaker 3: for today show. We had uh, Duce Vaughn. We had
32:52
Speaker 3: some guy that looked exactly like Tom Cruise, and uh,
32:55
Speaker 3: we have a great questions for you from the fans.
32:58
Speaker 3: So tomorrow, maybe even coming back tomorrow're gonna have a
33:02
Speaker 3: different schedule. We're gonna try to go three shows this
33:04
Speaker 3: week might just be a Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday thing. Still
33:07
Speaker 3: looking for that quarterback. I've been told that that there's
33:10
Speaker 3: a good chance for that as well. All Right, for
