- 0:40Speaker 2: us here in the second segment. That's why we're not
- 0:41Speaker 2: gonna take a whole lot of time here in the
- 0:43Speaker 2: first We're gonna do what we always do. We're gonna
- 0:45Speaker 2: do the storylines. I remember, this is the final show
- 0:49Speaker 2: here at camp. When we go back to the Star.
- 0:51Speaker 2: We got a brand new podcast that looks beautiful there
- 0:55Speaker 2: podcast studio that man, I can't can't wait to get
- 0:59Speaker 2: in there, and that's where we're gonna do our show.
- 1:01Speaker 2: It'll be live, it'll be in the morning, and it's
- 1:03Speaker 2: gonna be a thirty minute show. We're gonna get in
- 1:05Speaker 2: and out. We're gonna get the fans to call, We're
- 1:07Speaker 2: gonna get some some text message, we're gonna get tweets.
- 1:10Speaker 2: All that definitely gonna be a fans show, not as
- 1:12Speaker 2: much players, So we wanted to capitalize out here with
- 1:16Speaker 2: the with the timing situation, we had to make sure
- 1:18Speaker 2: we got players, and we've had some good ones so
- 1:21Speaker 2: this week, I'll mean we've ended strong, uh with with
- 1:24Speaker 2: Zach Martin yesterday and getting Dak today. So all right,
- 1:28Speaker 2: let's let's look at the storylines of of camp today
- 1:34Speaker 2: and also maybe just kind of a big picture look.
- 1:36Speaker 2: I will say one of the things that that they
- 1:38Speaker 2: had to walk through this morning running back Ronald Jones.
- 1:41Speaker 2: He's been dealing with a with a groin injury. He
- 1:45Speaker 2: got back into work a little bit there. I'm not
- 1:47Speaker 2: sure if he's gonna be ready to play in this
- 1:49Speaker 2: this next game, but uh, he probably would be available
- 1:53Speaker 2: for the final preseason game against the Raiders, and that's
- 1:56Speaker 2: big for him. He needs to kind of show what
- 1:58Speaker 2: he can do before the season starts. He's gonna have
- 2:01Speaker 2: a two game suspension, so you know, does he stay
- 2:05Speaker 2: in the mix here? He kind of needs to get
- 2:07Speaker 2: back and put some some good reps up there. Obviously,
- 2:11Speaker 2: some other running backs are trying to be chomping at
- 2:14Speaker 2: the bit as well, Duce Vaughn being one of them.
- 2:17Speaker 2: What happens with Deuce does he does he play more
- 2:19Speaker 2: this week. Mike McCarthy said after practice he was talking
- 2:24Speaker 2: with reporters that he does expect there to be a
- 2:26Speaker 2: different rotation of running backs now he doesn't. He says,
- 2:30Speaker 2: it doesn't matter who's playing early, late, late, none of
- 2:33Speaker 2: that matters. And I even asked him, I said, even
- 2:36Speaker 2: if they're Seattle's playing their starters, and he said, well,
- 2:39Speaker 2: you know, you do evaluate who you're playing against, but
- 2:43Speaker 2: it sounds like they're gonna just rotate these guys in
- 2:46Speaker 2: and out throughout the game. So you're gonna see some
- 2:48Speaker 2: Rico Daddle, You'll see the Leak, Davis Hunter, Lipke, and
- 2:51Speaker 2: of course you're gonna see Deuce, and so that'll be
- 2:54Speaker 2: Good'll be good to see these running backs. I think
- 2:56Speaker 2: everybody wants to see Deuce Vaughan earlier in the game,
- 3:00Speaker 2: just want to see him in general, he's fun to watch,
- 3:02Speaker 2: but also earlier, maybe against better competition, and also with
- 3:06Speaker 2: better competition as well. That's one thing that fans kind
- 3:08Speaker 2: of we thought, we talked about this last week. One
- 3:11Speaker 2: of the things that you kind of forget is that, well,
- 3:13Speaker 2: if you're playing against backups, but you're also playing with backups,
- 3:17Speaker 2: you know, if you're playing against third teamers, you also
- 3:19Speaker 2: have third teamers blocking for you, so it kind of
- 3:22Speaker 2: all goes hand in hand. But running backs are gonna
- 3:24Speaker 2: be something we're definitely gonna watch. Quarterbacks will agree. I mean,
- 3:28Speaker 2: they only have three and ones not playing unless he's
- 3:32Speaker 2: gonna tell us differently here in a little bit, but
- 3:34Speaker 2: Dak is not gonna be playing. We're gonna ask him though,
- 3:36Speaker 2: if you'd like to not that that matters if he
- 3:39Speaker 2: wants to play or not, that they are not going
- 3:42Speaker 2: to put him out there. But especially in Seattle, if
- 3:45Speaker 2: you remember, I think the last starting quarterback to play
- 3:48Speaker 2: in the preseason. This is probably not right because I
- 3:51Speaker 2: think Dak has played some preseason snaps, but I know
- 3:53Speaker 2: Romo played in Seattle and it was his last preseason
- 3:57Speaker 2: game he ever played. He got hurt and that's what
- 3:59Speaker 2: opened the whole door for Dak, and I think that
- 4:03Speaker 2: game kind of changed the philosophy a little bit, big
- 4:06Speaker 2: picture wise, uh, and as it should. I mean, the
- 4:09Speaker 2: last thing you want to do is lose your any
- 4:12Speaker 2: key player to an injury and just to try to
- 4:15Speaker 2: get a few reps. It's just at the end of
- 4:16Speaker 2: the day, it's absolutely not worth it. I'll take a
- 4:19Speaker 2: quarter and a half of being rusty in week one.
- 4:21Speaker 2: We saw it last last year Tampa Bay. That team
- 4:24Speaker 2: looked really rusty in Week one, but they won what
- 4:28Speaker 2: five in a row after that, so they were relatively healthy.
- 4:32Speaker 2: So yeah, you'll, you'll, you'll take that. As for the quarterbacks, though,
- 4:36Speaker 2: I mean, I think same same thing. Cooper Rush starts,
- 4:39Speaker 2: plays quarter maybe quarter and a half. Will Greer comes
- 4:42Speaker 2: in and and takes it the rest of the way.
- 4:44Speaker 2: So good opportunity for for Will Greer. I thought he
- 4:48Speaker 2: played pretty well last week, but but he had some moments.
- 4:53Speaker 2: You know, go town Battie. He's a little bit more consistency.
- 4:56Speaker 2: He'll get that opportunity against Seattle. All Right, we're gonn
- 5:00Speaker 2: to take a break. You're going to get Jack in here,
- 5:02Speaker 2: and then on the third segment, we're gonna kind of
- 5:04Speaker 2: break down all of camp. We're gonna have some top
- 5:07Speaker 2: ten all Aux SNAr team. I'm gonna give my list
- 5:11Speaker 2: and we'll also answer questions. Well, so we're gonna take

- 7:32Speaker 2: for joining us here the last day of camp. How's
- 7:35Speaker 2: it feelings just to just to finally get to this
- 7:38Speaker 2: finish line here.
- 7:39Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean it's exciting. I don't want to call
- 7:42Speaker 3: it a finish line. We're just getting started, so we
- 7:45Speaker 3: just threw lap one. I guess you can say for
- 7:47Speaker 3: the most part, it's been a joy, always been now
- 7:49Speaker 3: to come out here to auction art, the people, the volunteers,
- 7:52Speaker 3: the fans, they treat us great, amazing weather.
- 7:55Speaker 8: It's going to be tough to leave this weather. Honestly,
- 7:57Speaker 8: headed back.
- 7:57Speaker 2: That was the finish line, That's what I mean.
- 7:59Speaker 8: Yeah, the weather.
- 8:00Speaker 3: Yeah, well I'm not excited about the heat and back
- 8:02Speaker 3: in Texas, but it's a blessing just being out here.
- 8:05Speaker 8: Your eight. Yeah, it was fun. It was a great camp.
- 8:07Speaker 3: Can wrap it up with a lot of confidence and
- 8:09Speaker 3: knowing we did some good things out here.
- 8:10Speaker 2: What has been some of those good things? Like if
- 8:14Speaker 2: you specifically, you're like, man, we came here. I feel
- 8:17Speaker 2: better about this that I did before.
- 8:18Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, just the direction of this offense, obviously
- 8:21Speaker 3: with the coaching changes, wondering exactly which way we're gonna
- 8:24Speaker 3: go with this thing, how m I's gonna call it,
- 8:26Speaker 3: and just having the players that we have Addan Brandon Cooks,
- 8:30Speaker 3: the personnel being able to use Turp and some of
- 8:32Speaker 3: these guys more. Just the way we finished yesterday, it
- 8:35Speaker 3: wasn't a great day necessarily, Scorn, but if you go
- 8:37Speaker 3: back and look at that tape, a lot of things
- 8:38Speaker 3: that we've been working on came came to fruition yesterday,
- 8:42Speaker 3: and so it's a great way to just wrap up
- 8:44Speaker 3: training campus. I said, I excited about the direction we're headed,
- 8:46Speaker 3: a lot of confidence and myself where my game is
- 8:49Speaker 3: and just as much as where.
- 8:50Speaker 8: This offense is and what we can do as a team.
- 8:53Speaker 3: It's been a true iron sharp and iron I mean
- 8:55Speaker 3: you saw the the intensity and the passion showing for
- 8:58Speaker 3: the fact yesterday and when you have to great units
- 9:01Speaker 3: that believe in themselves, that's what you're gonna get. And
- 9:04Speaker 3: a lot of confidence is flowing throughout the group, and
- 9:06Speaker 3: so yesterday was a testament to that.
- 9:09Speaker 2: One of the things, you know, being the quarterback, You've
- 9:11Speaker 2: said it so many times, Being quarterbacks obviously different. It's
- 9:13Speaker 2: a different role, you know, offense versus defense. But you're
- 9:17Speaker 2: the one that's grabs Micah Parsons and talking to him
- 9:20Speaker 2: after you know, punches were thrown. Is it kind of
- 9:22Speaker 2: a tough role for you to say, at some points,
- 9:25Speaker 2: I have to kind of be above both of them,
- 9:27Speaker 2: and I'm the I'm the leader of this team.
- 9:29Speaker 8: Yeah for sure. I mean that's uh, what's up, coach. Yeah,
- 9:32Speaker 8: that's my droll.
- 9:33Speaker 3: That's my role, and that's my job, honestly, is just
- 9:35Speaker 3: to bring everybody together. Understanding that I encourage a lot
- 9:39Speaker 3: of it. I mean going back to the trash talk
- 9:41Speaker 3: and going back to just feeding into the passion of
- 9:43Speaker 3: the game and trying to get the most out of
- 9:44Speaker 3: your teammates.
- 9:46Speaker 8: But at the end of the day, we are on
- 9:47Speaker 8: the same team.
- 9:48Speaker 3: So when it feels like it's getting ready to cross
- 9:49Speaker 3: the line or you see punches thrown, it's important just
- 9:52Speaker 3: to go grab those guys. Understand, Hey, man, like I
- 9:55Speaker 3: broke my thumb last year, and that's all it takes
- 9:57Speaker 3: is for you to to break a finger, bring a thumb,
- 9:59Speaker 3: and now you're putting this whole team and Jeopardy and
- 10:00Speaker 3: what everything we've worked on and built. So that's what
- 10:03Speaker 3: that conversations about is I understand the passion. I understand
- 10:07Speaker 3: that the iron sharp and iron and all the emotions
- 10:09Speaker 3: in it. But at the end of the day, we
- 10:12Speaker 3: go back into the same locker room. We're all family,
- 10:14Speaker 3: we're brothers. Uh So if as long as we leave
- 10:16Speaker 3: it on the practice field and nobody gets hurt doing
- 10:18Speaker 3: it doing it, it's fine. And that's what those conversations
- 10:21Speaker 3: are about. And I enjoy being able to pick up
- 10:23Speaker 3: the fire, but at the same time knowing that these
- 10:25Speaker 3: guys are going to listen and bring everybody together.
- 10:27Speaker 2: Well, when we started, I was gonna ask if you
- 10:29Speaker 2: were ready, But if you were ready, like, wait, what
- 10:32Speaker 2: does that come from? But we hear it before every snap.
- 10:35Speaker 2: Where did that kind of origidate?
- 10:37Speaker 8: What's that?
- 10:38Speaker 2: The ready right before the snap?
- 10:42Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean that's that's the cadence.
- 10:43Speaker 3: You know. I don't want to give away too much.
- 10:45Speaker 3: And there's a lot of cameras and there's so much
- 10:47Speaker 3: sound these days.
- 10:49Speaker 2: That's right, nobody's taking any photos or videos of camera.
- 10:52Speaker 8: Yeah right, No, I mean I get it.
- 10:53Speaker 3: But in the same sense, that's uh, it's just it's
- 10:56Speaker 3: just great for us to just get off on the
- 10:57Speaker 3: same page. And honestly, I'll use it to our advantage
- 11:02Speaker 3: as well, understanding that everybody knows that.
- 11:03Speaker 8: But yeah, that's just something within the football all right.
- 11:05Speaker 2: I've got some fan questions before we get to that.
- 11:08Speaker 2: Jalen Tolbert's a guy A lot of people have been
- 11:09Speaker 2: talking about it. Feel like Brandon Cooks really helped him
- 11:13Speaker 2: as well, but he's not it on his own as well.
- 11:15Speaker 2: What is what have you like the most out of
- 11:17Speaker 2: Jaalen Tolbert?
- 11:18Speaker 3: Yeah, so much improvement. I think it starts from the
- 11:20Speaker 3: neck up. I mean, you look at the guy last year.
- 11:22Speaker 3: They didn't get on his field the way that he
- 11:23Speaker 3: planned too, and I think that hurts your confidence. I
- 11:25Speaker 3: mean I say it all the time that at this level,
- 11:27Speaker 3: this is a night This game is about ninety percent confidence.
- 11:30Speaker 3: A lot of guys and almost everybody can do it,
- 11:32Speaker 3: but it's who believe they can do it, who believes
- 11:34Speaker 3: they're better, who believes that they're taking the next step
- 11:36Speaker 3: and getting better. And we've seen that so much in Tober,
- 11:39Speaker 3: just this camp. And as you said, it's credit to Cooks,
- 11:41Speaker 3: but just as much credit to this team, this offense,
- 11:44Speaker 3: to the coaching staff, and the most credit goes into him.
- 11:47Speaker 3: I mean he's the one that had to look himself
- 11:49Speaker 3: in the mirror and go to work and really just
- 11:51Speaker 3: take everything in and it's really shown this training camp
- 11:54Speaker 3: and he's made huge steps, huge stride, and a guy
- 11:55Speaker 3: that we expect to contribute this fall.
- 11:58Speaker 2: I know he was in one of the dockyard participants.
- 12:01Speaker 2: I asked fans, I was like, send some questions to
- 12:03Speaker 2: Dak in the first one was what are the food
- 12:04Speaker 2: that they serve at the dockyard? Does he have any stacks?
- 12:07Speaker 2: And I don't know.
- 12:08Speaker 8: I mean, we're there, we're there to work. Okay, yeah,
- 12:12Speaker 8: we're there to work for so you should have your.
- 12:14Speaker 2: I got better questions than that type ful.
- 12:16Speaker 3: But every now and then chef hop does come in
- 12:18Speaker 3: and you know, have a little pre or excuse me,
- 12:20Speaker 3: a little post practice Yeah, post practice snack.
- 12:23Speaker 2: Uh Brett Bender. His question is Dak as a veteran quarterback,
- 12:27Speaker 2: it's a challenge. Is it a challenge to adjust a
- 12:28Speaker 2: new play caller, new system, new receivers.
- 12:32Speaker 8: No, I mean it's been fun.
- 12:34Speaker 3: So, I mean, sure there's a little bit of challenge
- 12:36Speaker 3: in that, but I'm a guy that's always embraced any
- 12:37Speaker 3: challenge in life on or off the field, and having
- 12:40Speaker 3: this one on the field, it's and in the in
- 12:43Speaker 3: the classroom. I guess you could say it's been very
- 12:45Speaker 3: stimulating just to get coaches mind as a play caller
- 12:48Speaker 3: to understand why he's calling play something huge we talk
- 12:50Speaker 3: about as a play caller's purpose and what he expects
- 12:53Speaker 3: out of a play.
- 12:53Speaker 8: So it's been fun.
- 12:55Speaker 3: And then the new receivers, I mean, you got to
- 12:56Speaker 3: get credit to guys like Brandon Cooks for true professionals
- 12:58Speaker 3: who exp that process just with the way that they
- 13:01Speaker 3: approach the game, their knowledge of the game, and honestly
- 13:04Speaker 3: their talent.
- 13:05Speaker 8: So it's been a great challenge if you.
- 13:07Speaker 3: Call it that that I've accepted, and we were striving
- 13:10Speaker 3: right now are thriving in it.
- 13:11Speaker 2: This question is for Mike Gray and it said, and
- 13:14Speaker 2: I don't know how you feel about this term, but
- 13:15Speaker 2: he said, do you feel like you can be a
- 13:17Speaker 2: little bit more conservative with a defense like that? Maybe
- 13:19Speaker 2: even a bus driver. I personally have never thought that
- 13:22Speaker 2: was a bad term. I don't know what you think
- 13:24Speaker 2: about that, but just basically more of a conservative approach
- 13:26Speaker 2: because you know you have an asty game.
- 13:27Speaker 8: Yeah, no, it's a fair question.
- 13:29Speaker 3: And you know a lot of times in this game
- 13:30Speaker 3: people say he's a manager, and that that gets a
- 13:32Speaker 3: lot of knock as you're saying, and that's that's not
- 13:34Speaker 3: necessarily and that's that's understanding what team you have, understanding
- 13:38Speaker 3: the players you have, And to answer his question, yeah,
- 13:40Speaker 3: sure at times. I mean I've gotten so confident in
- 13:43Speaker 3: my game and my ability.
- 13:44Speaker 8: That's something I've worked hard on.
- 13:46Speaker 3: But in the same sense, understanding that that you've got
- 13:48Speaker 3: the defense is that it's okay to punt the ball
- 13:50Speaker 3: in certain situations because hey, they're going to give you
- 13:52Speaker 3: the ball back and three players are and three players
- 13:55Speaker 3: or less with the way that they make turnovers. So yeah,
- 13:58Speaker 3: it's important for me to understand the flow of the game,
- 14:00Speaker 3: I think as much as anything and win to win,
- 14:02Speaker 3: to really test that rich versus reward. But in the
- 14:05Speaker 3: same sense, uh, to be aggressive in my own in
- 14:09Speaker 3: my own style with the ways with as well as
- 14:11Speaker 3: as Mike's calling the game. And I think that's something
- 14:14Speaker 3: that we are always in communication about, is what he
- 14:17Speaker 3: expects from a play and when I'm supposed to test it.
- 14:19Speaker 3: And I think a lot of times the plays have
- 14:21Speaker 3: those options within them.
- 14:22Speaker 2: All Right About this one from Jake Benoist, He's got
- 14:25Speaker 2: a two part question. You can pick which one you want.
- 14:28Speaker 2: The first one is which division foe do you like
- 14:30Speaker 2: beating the most. The second one is which place do
- 14:33Speaker 2: you like to fish all time? I would imagine it's
- 14:36Speaker 2: probably gonna be easier for you to pick that one
- 14:38Speaker 2: than to say which division team you like to beat
- 14:40Speaker 2: the most.
- 14:41Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean record as well. Yeah, they're all tough, Yeah,
- 14:47Speaker 8: all the every everybody's tough. For sure.
- 14:49Speaker 3: That's the cliche answer, and I mean it is true
- 14:51Speaker 3: when you're playing the teams in your division, you play
- 14:53Speaker 3: him twice, you get to see him at home, but
- 14:55Speaker 3: then you've got to go to their stadium. So for me, honestly,
- 14:58Speaker 3: it's probably Philly, but more so just because of the
- 15:01Speaker 3: environment and because of the fans. I mean, it's this
- 15:03Speaker 3: great place to play football. It's where passion is at
- 15:06Speaker 3: its peak. And uh, to go into there and to
- 15:08Speaker 3: get a win and just to battle with those guys
- 15:10Speaker 3: has always been fun over my over my career. And
- 15:13Speaker 3: I guess if you look at the records, that hadn't
- 15:14Speaker 3: been the easiest one of them.
- 15:15Speaker 2: So eight and three, yeah, maybe not Philly, but eight
- 15:19Speaker 2: and three yeah, But last year.
- 15:21Speaker 3: Yeah, I didn't And that that was that was really
- 15:23Speaker 3: one of those times that I realized the significance of
- 15:26Speaker 3: this stadium and the and the passion and just the
- 15:29Speaker 3: energy that flows within it and it's a special place,
- 15:31Speaker 3: so uh yeah, I'd probably put them there. But you said,
- 15:34Speaker 3: I mean all of them, and it's great to get
- 15:36Speaker 3: a win against all of them and anybody in this
- 15:37Speaker 3: league at being hard and honestly, the harder question is where's.
- 15:41Speaker 8: My favorite place to fish?
- 15:43Speaker 3: I just love being on the water, and obviously every
- 15:46Speaker 3: different place offers different fish to catch and a different
- 15:48Speaker 3: way to do it, so that's fun as well.
- 15:50Speaker 2: All right. In the last one, Mark Bristoo, Mark Bristow,
- 15:53Speaker 2: would that prefer to get a few preseason plays and series,
- 15:57Speaker 2: especially with the new offense? Prefer or do you understand?
- 16:00Speaker 8: I mean I always yeah, I understand.
- 16:02Speaker 3: I understand where where this uh where our team is,
- 16:04Speaker 3: what the coaches and what the front office they expect
- 16:06Speaker 3: and what they want, and that's.
- 16:07Speaker 8: Their decision at the end of the day.
- 16:09Speaker 3: But I'm one of the guys that I love this game.
- 16:11Speaker 3: I love to play this game. It's tough for me
- 16:13Speaker 3: to always watch guys suit up and take the field
- 16:15Speaker 3: and may not be a part of it. So to
- 16:17Speaker 3: say that, yeah, I mean, I would always enjoy it,
- 16:19Speaker 3: But am I not? Am I getting out there with
- 16:21Speaker 3: the same group that I'm going to play with come
- 16:23Speaker 3: week one who knows, So that that's not necessarily my decision.
- 16:27Speaker 3: Leave it, as I said, leave it up to the
- 16:28Speaker 3: people that do. And for me, it's just about supporting
- 16:31Speaker 3: these guys and making sure the guys that are going
- 16:32Speaker 3: to contribute and have a chance to help this team
- 16:35Speaker 3: in the in the fall really understand that that we
- 16:40Speaker 3: support them, that we need them, and that we're going
- 16:42Speaker 3: to push them.
- 16:42Speaker 8: And so for me, it's about driving the.
- 16:44Speaker 3: Energy bus and uh and and honestly, just to go
- 16:47Speaker 3: on top of that is when you see practice yesterday
- 16:49Speaker 3: or you just see the way that we practice, it's very.
- 16:52Speaker 8: Game like as it is.
- 16:53Speaker 3: So I feel like I'm getting preseason game reps just
- 16:55Speaker 3: against our defense. And I don't think there's a better
- 16:57Speaker 3: opponent to play than our guys.
- 16:59Speaker 2: And one would say you getting ready for the Giants mentally,
- 17:01Speaker 2: but what we saw last week, you are getting the
- 17:04Speaker 2: team ready for Seattle. The guys that are playing. It
- 17:06Speaker 2: doesn't seem like you put that focus just yet. You
- 17:09Speaker 2: understand what's happening right here in front. Yeah.
- 17:12Speaker 3: I mean as far as it comes to the film
- 17:13Speaker 3: watching and really study an opponent, Yeah, I guess I
- 17:16Speaker 3: can say that that I've been looking at at week
- 17:18Speaker 3: one and doing everything that I can this early to
- 17:21Speaker 3: prepare and to kind of get a beat on what
- 17:23Speaker 3: they're doing. But in the same sense I said, it's
- 17:26Speaker 3: driving the energy bus for these young guys. I mean,
- 17:27Speaker 3: I can't say I'm dialing into the defense of the Seahawks,
- 17:31Speaker 3: but more importantly really challenging our guys to know what
- 17:35Speaker 3: they're doing and to be in the right place and
- 17:36Speaker 3: understand the whole entirety of our offense, to make sure
- 17:39Speaker 3: that they're playing their best and they're playing at full
- 17:41Speaker 3: speed when they get out there and play.
- 17:42Speaker 2: Whoever it is, well, thank you so much. I know
- 17:44Speaker 2: you're an extremely busy guy, and just I really appreciate
- 17:46Speaker 2: you stopping by. Thank you all right, QB one, that's

- 20:01Speaker 2: Last segment here on Cowboys Storyline, last one of the show,
- 20:04Speaker 2: last one of Oxnard. As I said earlier on, we're
- 20:07Speaker 2: going back to the Star. And when we go back
- 20:10Speaker 2: to the Star, Uh, I see Chris Beam praying to
- 20:14Speaker 2: the to the heavens up here. Uh. He's the producer.
- 20:17Speaker 2: He's excited, he's been he's been the man. This this
- 20:20Speaker 2: show doesn't happen, but obviously without Chris, and I really
- 20:24Speaker 2: appreciate him, but but uh, how cool was that getting
- 20:27Speaker 2: that Dak Prescott Finally And and I say finally because
- 20:31Speaker 2: it's you know, I've been hoping, we thought maybe a
- 20:33Speaker 2: couple of weeks ago it might happen. And and you know,
- 20:36Speaker 2: the busiest guy in the world. Everybody when they come
- 20:38Speaker 2: to training camp, everybody wants to get interview with Dak.
- 20:40Speaker 2: I mean, that's just the most important thing. And so
- 20:43Speaker 2: I get it. I understand it. I'm the same way
- 20:45Speaker 2: I wanted him on the show. Well for me, I
- 20:47Speaker 2: got I got Zach Martin and then and then Dak
- 20:49Speaker 2: last two days. So shout out to them, and also
- 20:53Speaker 2: the our Cowboys public relations stuff are really helping, uh,
- 20:56Speaker 2: and be dedicated to to getting some some good guests
- 20:59Speaker 2: for this show. We're trying to get it off the ground.
- 21:01Speaker 2: So I appreciate them. Chris. Of course, obviously the fans here,
- 21:04Speaker 2: this is a fan show, and I got some great
- 21:06Speaker 2: questions here. I did answer. I ask some to them earlier,
- 21:10Speaker 2: got a ton more, and I apologize I couldn't get
- 21:14Speaker 2: to all of them there. I picked a few though
- 21:17Speaker 2: that maybe I could also answer. I know I'm not Dak,
- 21:21Speaker 2: not trying to say next best thing or anything like that,
- 21:24Speaker 2: but there were some interesting questions that I wish we
- 21:27Speaker 2: could have asked that. But maybe I can weigh in
- 21:29Speaker 2: on as well. Again not saying that it's the same,
- 21:33Speaker 2: but let's get to some of those dealing with a
- 21:37Speaker 2: glare issue here, all right. Matt Hollerin, he says, Dak,
- 21:41Speaker 2: what is your best throw of your NFL career? That
- 21:46Speaker 2: would have been a good question for him. I would
- 21:48Speaker 2: have liked to see that. I had a good, good
- 21:52Speaker 2: one here at camp a few weeks ago and dropped
- 21:56Speaker 2: it right in there for Semi Fojoco dropped it, but
- 22:00Speaker 2: still a great throw to me. The throw that I
- 22:07Speaker 2: always remember is the one where it goes against what
- 22:11Speaker 2: the purists say. You're rolling left, you're not supposed to
- 22:15Speaker 2: be throwing back across your body, and if you are,
- 22:18Speaker 2: don't throw at forty yards down the field. But it
- 22:21Speaker 2: was against the Giants in twenty eighteen. Maybe yeah, regular
- 22:26Speaker 2: season finale. Wasn't even supposed to be playing in the
- 22:28Speaker 2: game because it didn't matter. The game didn't matter. They
- 22:30Speaker 2: were already in the playoffs, but they played. They didn't play.
- 22:33Speaker 2: Zeke but they played Dak and they were down by
- 22:36Speaker 2: seven late in the games, like fourth and fifteen, and
- 22:39Speaker 2: he rolls left. He probably could have gotten the first down.
- 22:43Speaker 2: It would have been tough, but he decided to throw
- 22:45Speaker 2: it to Cole Beasley in the back of the end zone,
- 22:47Speaker 2: and Beasley initially looked like it was an incomplete pass,
- 22:51Speaker 2: but he got a knee down. One knee equals two feet.
- 22:54Speaker 2: He made the catch. They overruled it and overturned it,
- 22:57Speaker 2: and they called it a touchdown, and then they went
- 22:59Speaker 2: for two and won the game. I think thirty six
- 23:01Speaker 2: thirty five. That to me was Dak's best throw because
- 23:05Speaker 2: he rolling left, throws it down the field touchdown. I'm
- 23:09Speaker 2: sure he's had some some other great ones, but that one,
- 23:11Speaker 2: I'm gonna say that one was my favorite. So I'll
- 23:13Speaker 2: answer for that one. Another question from Magneto. He was
- 23:16Speaker 2: asking Dak ask him who will catch his first TD
- 23:19Speaker 2: of the regular season. See, it's easy. You could say, oh,
- 23:23Speaker 2: CD's gonna do it, or Cooks. It'll be somebody like Hindershot,
- 23:29Speaker 2: you know, or or or Tony Pollard maybe you know
- 23:35Speaker 2: it'll be it'll be somebody kind of different. I'm not
- 23:38Speaker 2: gonna say it'll be a receiver. I'm not. I wouldn't
- 23:40Speaker 2: go with CD on that win. I'm gonna I'm gonna say,
- 23:43Speaker 2: give me somebody that you wouldn't expect, Ferguson or hinder shot.
- 23:49Speaker 2: Let's go. Let's go with Ferguson there, all right. Jose
- 23:53Speaker 2: Rodriguez was asking QB one. He said, for the two
- 23:56Speaker 2: playoff games against San Francisco, what do you feel was
- 24:00Speaker 2: missing the most? What needed in order to win those games?
- 24:05Speaker 2: Two different games? For sure, they didn't have any juice
- 24:09Speaker 2: to start with. I think that's the answer actually to
- 24:12Speaker 2: both though, is juice playmakers. You know, they they were
- 24:17Speaker 2: they were kind of stifled by that defense first Cup,
- 24:20Speaker 2: first both games, really, especially at the end when when
- 24:23Speaker 2: Pollard got hurt last year and there was really nobody
- 24:26Speaker 2: else other than CD. You just didn't have any other
- 24:29Speaker 2: guys making plays. And I think that's that's why Cooks
- 24:32Speaker 2: is here, and I think, you know, I think that's
- 24:34Speaker 2: that's why they They they're hoping that Tolbert can do
- 24:38Speaker 2: some stuff. That's why they drafted Deuce Fawn, thinking that
- 24:41Speaker 2: he could maybe be another guy in here, just another speedy,
- 24:46Speaker 2: quick playmaker. You know, they weren't. They weren't better than
- 24:50Speaker 2: the forty nine ers in the first game. They were,
- 24:55Speaker 2: you know, messing around at the end, had a chance.
- 24:57Speaker 2: They've still you know, didn't deserve to win that one.
- 24:59Speaker 2: But this s gay. They didn't have a kicker, And
- 25:01Speaker 2: I think that was a huge part of the game,
- 25:03Speaker 2: is they not only you miss an extra point, but
- 25:05Speaker 2: she had no confidence that you could make anything. So
- 25:07Speaker 2: then at that point everything what you had to score
- 25:10Speaker 2: and you had to score touchdowns. And meanwhile the other
- 25:12Speaker 2: guy was making kicks. Robbie Gold interesting. Robbie Gold was
- 25:16Speaker 2: making kicks interesting, all right, Chase Dyer, he said, what's
- 25:21Speaker 2: McCarthy like that? The fans don't get to see. Obviously,
- 25:26Speaker 2: you'd like to hear Dak answer that. That was a
- 25:28Speaker 2: questioned for Dak. But but you know, as the media guys,
- 25:31Speaker 2: we get to see a little different side of Mike
- 25:33Speaker 2: every now and again. And I just think he's he's
- 25:36Speaker 2: just a He's just a cool guy that could probably
- 25:39Speaker 2: sit around and you know, drink a few beers and
- 25:41Speaker 2: you know, talk about the game and you know, just
- 25:44Speaker 2: tell some jokes. I mean, I just just a dude,
- 25:48Speaker 2: That's what I think. That's kind of what I think
- 25:49Speaker 2: of him. You know, he's got to do it a
- 25:51Speaker 2: certain way in front of them, you know, cameras and
- 25:54Speaker 2: all that kind of stuff. But I mean, for the
- 25:56Speaker 2: most part, which she sees what you get. But yeah,
- 25:58Speaker 2: when he when he gets to just kind of let
- 26:00Speaker 2: let the hair down a little bit, I mean, he's
- 26:01Speaker 2: he's a he's kind of he's a different guy. So,
- 26:04Speaker 2: just like everybody, all right, I think that's all the
- 26:07Speaker 2: DAK questions here. I had another one for for me,
- 26:11Speaker 2: Joe Simpson. Yeah, he says your show is getting better
- 26:14Speaker 2: each episode, Nick, and I really appreciate thanks, Joe. His
- 26:18Speaker 2: question is, well, CJ. Goodwin make this roster. I don't
- 26:21Speaker 2: see how he can. It's not a cowboy storyline. If
- 26:27Speaker 2: you don't ever get this question about c J.
- 26:29Speaker 8: Goodwin.
- 26:30Speaker 2: I love c J. Goodwin, by the way, one of
- 26:32Speaker 2: the coolest guys on the team. I really like him
- 26:34Speaker 2: a lot. I think he's a really good player, and
- 26:37Speaker 2: I would disagree that there's there's no way he can
- 26:41Speaker 2: make it. Or he didn't say that. He said he
- 26:43Speaker 2: doesn't see how he could make it. I think he
- 26:44Speaker 2: can make it. I think he's I think he's a
- 26:48Speaker 2: he's a he's a gunner. I mean, that's that's I
- 26:50Speaker 2: just think he's a guy can play all your special teams.
- 26:53Speaker 2: He's here for that reason. They re signed him, you know,
- 26:55Speaker 2: they resigned him, So I think he makes it. No
- 26:58Speaker 2: somebody younger and keeper is gonna have to come in
- 27:01Speaker 2: here and just be way better than him and then
- 27:05Speaker 2: also play some other spots on on on defense or
- 27:10Speaker 2: offense or whatever. And I just don't see that happening.
- 27:12Speaker 2: I don't. I don't see that happening. A good one
- 27:15Speaker 2: is a solid in all of the areas. It's not
- 27:18Speaker 2: making a ton of money, and he's a veteran minimum
- 27:21Speaker 2: I I don't. I think he makes the team. Honestly,
- 27:24Speaker 2: I think they even view him as the fourth specialist kicker, punter,
- 27:27Speaker 2: deep snapper CJ. Goodwin. I really do so. I don't
- 27:31Speaker 2: think that's that's gonna be I don't think that's gonna
- 27:35Speaker 2: be an issue. I think he makes the team. All right,
- 27:37Speaker 2: got a few more minutes here. One of the things
- 27:39Speaker 2: I wanted to do to kind of wrap it up. Well,
- 27:41Speaker 2: you'll see tomorrow on the website Dallas Cowboys dot com.
- 27:44Speaker 2: You're gonna see you an all ox Snard team or
- 27:47Speaker 2: you know, final best players of camp, and it will
- 27:52Speaker 2: we'll have our our top ten. So I'm asking some
- 27:54Speaker 2: of the guys and girls that have been here all
- 27:57Speaker 2: of camp watching practice, uh to to give me their
- 28:01Speaker 2: their best guys, and they did. We've got some rolling
- 28:04Speaker 2: in we're gonna put that together, but I thought I
- 28:06Speaker 2: would share mine. You know, this is what I think
- 28:08Speaker 2: top ten, not not overall, not ten players on the
- 28:11Speaker 2: team because you know Zach Martin would be in there.
- 28:14Speaker 2: This is just your your ox Nerd guys, not even
- 28:17Speaker 2: in the preseason game, guys that we've seen out here
- 28:20Speaker 2: on these fields. So I gave I gave my list,
- 28:25Speaker 2: and I have some honorable mentions. I did put Deuce
- 28:28Speaker 2: into mont Clark honorable mention. Again, this is ox Snard stuff.
- 28:33Speaker 2: We really saw the Deuce do more in the in
- 28:35Speaker 2: the game, and I can't wait to see him uh
- 28:37Speaker 2: and the next one. All right, So I'll go through
- 28:38Speaker 2: the list here. Number ten for me, I put with
- 28:42Speaker 2: Jalen Brooks, and he's falling down just a tad again.
- 28:46Speaker 2: Everything has got to be I mean, he he has
- 28:49Speaker 2: been really, really good. He's been a huge surprise, but
- 28:53Speaker 2: he's still going up against the backups sometimes and getting
- 28:56Speaker 2: the backups thrown to him, and he's made every opportunity.
- 28:59Speaker 2: Can a little bit of a wall. Maybe a back
- 29:02Speaker 2: injury too slowed him down. But I think just because
- 29:06Speaker 2: of expectations and all that he makes the list. I
- 29:09Speaker 2: put him number ten. Number nine, I'm gonna go with
- 29:11Speaker 2: Duran Blan. I thought Blan's had a really good, good,
- 29:14Speaker 2: strong camp. There's there's some that believe that he has
- 29:18Speaker 2: a chance to be one of the better corner or
- 29:21Speaker 2: maybe the better corner on the teams. He's the third
- 29:24Speaker 2: guy right now and he's getting to learn behind some
- 29:27Speaker 2: really good ones than Diggs and Gilmour. But I thought
- 29:30Speaker 2: Deron Bland has been the way competes. He gets interceptions,
- 29:33Speaker 2: he gets his hand on the ball. He's been really
- 29:36Speaker 2: really good.
- 29:36Speaker 8: All right.
- 29:36Speaker 2: Number eight, I'm gonna go with Jalen Tolbert. Again, expectations thing,
- 29:41Speaker 2: but a lot of pressure on him. See that it's
- 29:43Speaker 2: not the same as Brooks. No pressure on Brooks. I
- 29:45Speaker 2: mean sure there is. I mean, if not, you don't
- 29:47Speaker 2: make the team. But pressure's on Jalen Tolbert to go
- 29:50Speaker 2: and perform. And I think he's not only hit some
- 29:53Speaker 2: expectations that he would be better, but he's exceeded those.
- 29:56Speaker 2: I have him eighth on my list, all right, seven,
- 29:59Speaker 2: hard to do for ibackers, but look, Leyton vander esh
- 30:02Speaker 2: has been really good, and he also is playing some
- 30:05Speaker 2: different stuff. They got him rushing off the edge a
- 30:07Speaker 2: little bit, He's flying around the ball doing some things.
- 30:10Speaker 2: He's been a leader to to the demon clerks of
- 30:13Speaker 2: the world and some of the other ones. I really
- 30:15Speaker 2: like what I'm seeing out of out of Leyton vander Esher.
- 30:18Speaker 2: I put him, uh number seven on my list here,
- 30:22Speaker 2: all right, number six, I go with CD cd is
- 30:27Speaker 2: I mean, I don't know if CD is the sixth
- 30:29Speaker 2: best receiver in the NFL. I think he's probably better
- 30:31Speaker 2: than that. I think he's top five for sure. But
- 30:34Speaker 2: but just out here at camp he's been he's been good.
- 30:37Speaker 2: He had a he's had an interesting camp, probably more
- 30:41Speaker 2: interesting than you'll even know. But for him to go
- 30:44Speaker 2: and make some of these plays, he's been he's been
- 30:46Speaker 2: really strong, consistent. Love what we're seeing out of him. Gonna.
- 30:50Speaker 2: I think he has a chance to have even a
- 30:52Speaker 2: better season, which was hard to do. Second Team All
- 30:54Speaker 2: Pro all right, number five. I went with tray Von Diggs.
- 30:58Speaker 2: You could make an argument, and there are there's gonna
- 31:01Speaker 2: be some arguments that he's better than that. He's been good, great,
- 31:05Speaker 2: actually very tough, to be, very competitive, and the thing
- 31:09Speaker 2: about it is is that he brings the level of
- 31:12Speaker 2: competition up. All that mess you want to talk about
- 31:14Speaker 2: him and Dak. It helps when you take it to
- 31:17Speaker 2: the field. So I put him number five on the list,
- 31:21Speaker 2: number four, Number four.
- 31:23Speaker 8: Dak.
- 31:25Speaker 2: He's been. He's been really good. Okay, he throws. There's
- 31:28Speaker 2: been some picks here and there. Okay, there's been some touchdowns.
- 31:31Speaker 2: I mean, that's that's what it is. He's been. He's
- 31:34Speaker 2: been really good. We expected him to be really good.
- 31:36Speaker 2: He has been that. I got him number four on
- 31:40Speaker 2: my list, number three. Again, tough to do for any
- 31:43Speaker 2: kind of offensive lineman. But Tyler Smith just looks different
- 31:48Speaker 2: this year. This looks like it on a different level.
- 31:51Speaker 2: You're not beating him on things. His strength is just
- 31:55Speaker 2: off the charts. He's been outstanding in one on one drills,
- 32:00Speaker 2: team drills. I think he could kick out to guard
- 32:03Speaker 2: tackle right now if they needed him to. But I
- 32:05Speaker 2: think he's finding a spot here at guard. And we'll
- 32:08Speaker 2: see in the next year or two if they just
- 32:10Speaker 2: if they want him, push him out there and and
- 32:12Speaker 2: play him at tackle. His agent will probably want that
- 32:14Speaker 2: because I'll give him more money, I would imagine. But
- 32:17Speaker 2: but I kind of think his home is an inside
- 32:19Speaker 2: and guard just because of the strength, and I want
- 32:21Speaker 2: to see how it translates to the game. But he's
- 32:23Speaker 2: been really good, so good that it's hard to pick
- 32:26Speaker 2: a guard for camp, you know, the top campers, but
- 32:30Speaker 2: that's how good he's been. Number two I go with
- 32:33Speaker 2: with Brandon Cooks. Brandon Cooks has been what we wanted
- 32:37Speaker 2: to see from this team, what I've wanted to see
- 32:39Speaker 2: from a speeder speedster, a speeder, a speedster for a
- 32:43Speaker 2: long long time for this offense, and he delivers that.
- 32:46Speaker 2: But he's he's brought so much more to the table
- 32:49Speaker 2: what he's also been a leader. Jalen Tolbert's not on
- 32:53Speaker 2: this list probably without Brandon Cooks. That's what I love
- 32:56Speaker 2: about a guy that that's that's he's he's uh secure
- 33:01Speaker 2: about himself and his role to to to lend a
- 33:04Speaker 2: hand and and and his experience to the other guys.
- 33:07Speaker 2: Knowing that if I can make this guy, this guy
- 33:10Speaker 2: and this guy better. We're all going to be better,
- 33:12Speaker 2: and that's that's it. That takes it some experience to
- 33:15Speaker 2: kind of learn how to do that. So he's been great, though,
- 33:18Speaker 2: and I think that he's a perfect compliment to this
- 33:22Speaker 2: Texas Coast offense, West Coast offense. Whatever. He's got these
- 33:26Speaker 2: underneath routes, that's really gonna be tough for the defense
- 33:28Speaker 2: to stop. But he's got some home run hitting abilities
- 33:32Speaker 2: as well. Number One MIKEA. Parsons, it's been really good.
- 33:38Speaker 2: Can't block him. Nobody can block him here. And I
- 33:41Speaker 2: don't necessarily think it's a problem just yet with the
- 33:44Speaker 2: tackle situation. I mean, we'll see over time. But he's
- 33:48Speaker 2: he's been He's just had little one on one meetings
- 33:52Speaker 2: with the quarterbacks. Every single time. It just seems like
- 33:54Speaker 2: he just gets off the edge and just sits there.
- 33:56Speaker 2: Do they want to stop the play, blow the horn
- 33:57Speaker 2: and say okay, sack or do they want to let
- 33:59Speaker 2: the play go through? But he has he could have
- 34:03Speaker 2: disrupted practice more if if they would have stopped to
- 34:08Speaker 2: play more, that's how much he has disrupted practice. He's
- 34:11Speaker 2: been that good, that tough to block, and he's ready
- 34:15Speaker 2: to go. Let's just don't break your hand hitting anyone
- 34:19Speaker 2: in the face, mask or anything like that. As Dak said,
- 34:22Speaker 2: don't do that, you know. But but he has been
- 34:26Speaker 2: he's been very, very, very tough for anyone to try
- 34:29Speaker 2: to block. And crows and and think about this, then
- 34:33Speaker 2: this isn't anything this is anything special that. This is
- 34:37Speaker 2: just running defense. You know, they're not really doing a
- 34:40Speaker 2: ton of the things that they'll probably do in the games.
- 34:42Speaker 2: He's just rushing off the edge. I don't think I've
- 34:45Speaker 2: seen him rush in the middle of the line. Uh.
- 34:48Speaker 2: Most of the time. He's coming off that left edge
- 34:50Speaker 2: against the right tackle most of the time. But what
- 34:52Speaker 2: he goes back and forth there too, But just nothing exotic,
- 34:55Speaker 2: and that's when you know it's gonna be really dangerous.
- 34:58Speaker 2: Hadn't seen a ton out of linebacker out of him,
- 35:00Speaker 2: just seeing him rush the passer, and I haven't seen
- 35:03Speaker 2: anyone block him, so that right there would be number one.
- 35:06Speaker 2: All right, Well that's gonna that's gonna do it for us.
- 35:09Speaker 2: We're gonna we're gonna wrap it here in uh in
- 35:11Speaker 2: training camp UH in Oxnard, California. It's been fun, guys.
- 35:16Speaker 2: I'd be honest, I didn't know what to expect with this,
- 35:18Speaker 2: with this new show, I really didn't I didn't know
- 35:21Speaker 2: how I was gonna go. And and it's still new
- 35:23Speaker 2: and it's still gonna be new when we get back.
- 35:25Speaker 2: But I I love the feedback so far. I'm getting
- 35:30Speaker 2: more comfortable, So bear with me there, but I appreciate it.
- 35:33Speaker 2: And we get back into the studio, I think it'll
- 35:35Speaker 2: it'll be it'll it'll be even more comfortable, even though
- 35:38Speaker 2: I won't have anyone around, but I think I'll have
- 35:40Speaker 2: you guys, and you guys will call and we'll be
- 35:42Speaker 2: able to chat and talk back and forth and that'll
- 35:45Speaker 2: be fun. So again, I can't thank Chris Beam enough.
- 35:48Speaker 2: A producer sits out here in this heat, and uh
- 35:50Speaker 2: he's been his patience has been unbelievable with us making
- 35:53Speaker 2: this show and getting it getting it going, and and
- 35:56Speaker 2: and guys in the back Josh Rodriguez, William Boykoins, those
- 35:58Speaker 2: guys have helped me tremendously to try to get this
- 36:01Speaker 2: thing going. So all right, we're gonna do it here
- 36:03Speaker 2: for training camp in Oxnard. This has been the last
- 36:07Speaker 2: edition of Cowboys storyline, but we will see you guys
- 36:11Speaker 2: when we get back to Frisco.
