- 0:01Speaker 1: The following.

- 0:07Speaker 3: Cowboys.
- 0:10Speaker 2: This is He's Cowboys Storylines with Nick Eatman.
- 0:21Speaker 1: What's up everyone, I'm Nick Eatman here and it's another
- 0:24Speaker 1: edition of Cowboys Storyline. This is episode number four, number four.
- 0:30Speaker 1: Who do you think our guests should be? For number four?
- 0:34Speaker 1: Tyler Smith? But that's okay. We tried, We tried to
- 0:36Speaker 1: get Dak. Didn't really work out. We did hear it's
- 0:39Speaker 1: gonna be next week. But hey, Tyler Smith, that's the
- 0:42Speaker 1: he's the guy. He's the guy gonna be blocking rather
- 0:45Speaker 1: than the front there. Looks like it left guard right now.
- 0:47Speaker 1: I can't wait to talk to him about a lot
- 0:49Speaker 1: of things about moving from tackle to guard and ask
- 0:52Speaker 1: him about wearing number seventy three, and just just a
- 0:55Speaker 1: lot of cool things there and really fun guests to
- 0:57Speaker 1: have on the show. So we're excited for as we
- 1:01Speaker 1: do every day on Cowboys Storyline, We're gonna talk about
- 1:04Speaker 1: the storylines. We're gonna see what's happening here at Cowboys camp.
- 1:09Speaker 1: The pads have come on, starting to feel like football again.
- 1:14Speaker 1: Kind of feels like Texas a little bit too. The
- 1:16Speaker 1: heat has been a little warmer than I thought. But
- 1:19Speaker 1: it's okay. Not complaining obviously, but it is. It is intense.
- 1:24Speaker 1: When you have those, you know, the heat intensity battles,
- 1:29Speaker 1: you're gonna get a little bit of fight. Haven't had
- 1:30Speaker 1: any fights yet, but that's my prediction. For the end
- 1:33Speaker 1: of the week, we'll be seeing some of that. Tempers
- 1:36Speaker 1: are starting to flare a little bit. That's not one
- 1:38Speaker 1: of the storylines. Okay, you have to start with the
- 1:42Speaker 1: biggest surprise of camp, and it's not any player that
- 1:47Speaker 1: that's a rookie or anything. There are some of those,
- 1:49Speaker 1: but the biggest surprise to me is the fact that
- 1:51Speaker 1: Zach Martin is still not here. That's just a surprise.
- 1:54Speaker 1: That's not two weeks ago you would have said, hey,
- 1:56Speaker 1: Zach Martin won't even be at Auxnard. I would have
- 1:59Speaker 1: been shocked. And I am still and and I don't
- 2:03Speaker 1: care what you make. Fifty thousand dollars is a lot.
- 2:05Speaker 1: Every single day keeps keeps adding, so you know that
- 2:09Speaker 1: that's a that's a big storyline there. Jerry Jones made
- 2:12Speaker 1: some comments about it, uh when we did address on
- 2:16Speaker 1: the last show. But you know, it's starting to kind
- 2:19Speaker 1: of see that. I'm not saying he's getting annoyed by it,
- 2:22Speaker 1: but but it's he's he's being firm in his answers
- 2:26Speaker 1: of hey, he'll get here. When he gets here, we
- 2:28Speaker 1: know the consequences and he's facing them right now, and
- 2:32Speaker 1: and and it's just doesn't seem like the Cowboys are
- 2:35Speaker 1: ready to budge on that just yet. And I've always,
- 2:39Speaker 1: you know, always been told it's not really a real
- 2:43Speaker 1: holdout until you start missing game checks. Now you're missing
- 2:45Speaker 1: fifty thousand a day. That's that's that's somewhat of a holdout.
- 2:48Speaker 1: But I don't think it's gonna go that long. I'll
- 2:52Speaker 1: be stunned. I mean, I'm shocked now. I'll be super
- 2:55Speaker 1: stunned if he's not at camp at some point here
- 2:59Speaker 1: and all. That's just that's just a huge commitment. I
- 3:02Speaker 1: think he's making his point. Not sure if it's gonna
- 3:04Speaker 1: matter much, he's making his point. But they do need him. Yes,
- 3:09Speaker 1: Zach Martin could come right in and play, but Tyler
- 3:13Speaker 1: Biattish needs him, and and and Steele needs him. And
- 3:16Speaker 1: if it's well, let's go on the right side. They
- 3:18Speaker 1: need him there continuity wise. It's good And also don't
- 3:22Speaker 1: forget about the other side. These defensive tackles of Massie Smiths,
- 3:26Speaker 1: Sosa O'diggy's is when they're going up against Zach Martin
- 3:31Speaker 1: in practice. That's a good thing, you know. That certainly
- 3:34Speaker 1: helps them as well. One of the guys though, that
- 3:37Speaker 1: that is starting to back he into the mix here
- 3:39Speaker 1: is TJ. Bass Is rooky U from Oregon. He's actually
- 3:43Speaker 1: doing some some nice work at Garden. He's he would
- 3:46Speaker 1: be one of the young players. I think that that's
- 3:49Speaker 1: doing some good work. All right. That's that's one of
- 3:51Speaker 1: the storylines.
- 3:53Speaker 4: Uh.
- 3:53Speaker 1: Another storyline always is is injuries hasn't been too bad.
- 3:58Speaker 1: Knock on wood, if this is real wood, knock on wood.
- 4:01Speaker 1: I was kind of getting worried a little bit about
- 4:04Speaker 1: a show JINX because we had Trayvon diggs On and
- 4:08Speaker 1: then he had a toe injury and didn't practice for
- 4:10Speaker 1: like four days. Then we had Dorince Armstrong and he
- 4:14Speaker 1: had a hamstring injury. So when we got Jake Ferguson,
- 4:17Speaker 1: I was all expecting something happened. Nothing did. We'll get
- 4:21Speaker 1: Tyler Smith here coming up. Hopefully It's all good. Not
- 4:24Speaker 1: comparing it to like a Super Sports Illustrated cover or
- 4:27Speaker 1: anything like that. But you know, no one likes to
- 4:30Speaker 1: have a jinx like that. But I don't think that's
- 4:33Speaker 1: the case Drance. As I said, hamstring injury, Sam Williams
- 4:36Speaker 1: shoulder just limiting him a little bit. Diggs did come
- 4:39Speaker 1: back with a toe injury, was supposed to be limited.
- 4:43Speaker 1: Here's how this stuff works out here. This is what
- 4:46Speaker 1: Dez Bryant was so good at, and this is what
- 4:49Speaker 1: this team needs. It's who is going to be the
- 4:51Speaker 1: one that kind of pissed people off and get everyone
- 4:55Speaker 1: even more. You know, they just get the intensity level
- 4:59Speaker 1: ra here at camp. And that's what happened with Dak
- 5:03Speaker 1: and Diggs. They have this little connection where they just
- 5:06Speaker 1: get under each other's skin. We saw it in the past.
- 5:09Speaker 1: We've seen it like at Hard Knocks and a couple
- 5:12Speaker 1: of years ago. And there's something about because Dick doesn't
- 5:15Speaker 1: talk a lot, but there's something about Dak that just
- 5:18Speaker 1: gets under him. And I think he didn't like the
- 5:20Speaker 1: fact that they were testing him a lot with the toe,
- 5:23Speaker 1: and so he gave up a few passes earlier, but
- 5:27Speaker 1: then made a huge play around the goal line with
- 5:29Speaker 1: against Cavante. Turpin showed that speed to stay with him
- 5:33Speaker 1: on the sideline. I think Trayvon is going to be fine.
- 5:36Speaker 1: A lot of barket going on back and forth, but
- 5:38Speaker 1: that was certainly a good thing, all right. And then
- 5:40Speaker 1: the last storyline, which we just missed on last the
- 5:45Speaker 1: last episode, was the running back situation with Ronald Jones.
- 5:49Speaker 1: The suspension was announced about a minute after we got
- 5:53Speaker 1: off the air, which seems to happen. But so he's
- 5:56Speaker 1: been suspended two games. I think he's already a pe
- 6:00Speaker 1: yielded and that this is what it's going to be.
- 6:03Speaker 1: He gave a really good answer, I thought, I mean,
- 6:05Speaker 1: I thought he he you know, he owned it and
- 6:08Speaker 1: said what the issue is now? Now? He basically said,
- 6:11Speaker 1: I want to be clear. I want to clear my
- 6:13Speaker 1: name as well, because this is not performance enhancing. He
- 6:16Speaker 1: talked about having a medical condition that runs in his family.
- 6:20Speaker 1: He took some medicine that was prescribed, and so he
- 6:23Speaker 1: says that that, you know, he kind of called out
- 6:27Speaker 1: the league so to speak of hey, or at least
- 6:29Speaker 1: these players need to be protected more and better than this.
- 6:33Speaker 1: So we'll see if anything comes of it. Right now,
- 6:36Speaker 1: he's going to miss two games. So that's what happens now.
- 6:41Speaker 1: What does that mean? Was he going to make the
- 6:43Speaker 1: team anyways? And I'm not sure about that. I think
- 6:46Speaker 1: all that was up in the air. I think the
- 6:47Speaker 1: whole running back position is up in the air after
- 6:50Speaker 1: Tony Pollard, and even that is up in the air
- 6:53Speaker 1: on how much he's going to be the number one
- 6:56Speaker 1: guy third and one? Does he get the carry, third
- 6:59Speaker 1: and goal from the two? Do they try to get
- 7:02Speaker 1: Tony Pollard in there like they would with Zeke? You know,
- 7:06Speaker 1: that's that's the question that we're gonna all figure out.
- 7:09Speaker 1: I think Ronald Jones could have kind of been that guy.
- 7:12Speaker 1: I still think Malik Davis is gonna have a role
- 7:15Speaker 1: in that. We've got some questions that we're gonna answer
- 7:18Speaker 1: later on about that that position specifically, so we'll do that.
- 7:25Speaker 1: But but running back is a position that we've all
- 7:28Speaker 1: been been watching. And then I guess I'll just the
- 7:31Speaker 1: elephant in the room, if you will. I don't think
- 7:35Speaker 1: this means that Ezekiel Elliott has a better chance to
- 7:38Speaker 1: come back. I really don't. I don't think that's gonna happen.
- 7:41Speaker 1: He has not signed with another team, but I'm just
- 7:45Speaker 1: not seeing that that scenario at the moment. I'm not
- 7:48Speaker 1: gonna I wouldn't close the door. You never closed the
- 7:50Speaker 1: door on that. I just don't think that happened. In fact,
- 7:54Speaker 1: when I was talking to someone about that situation and
- 7:58Speaker 1: I said, this is confirmed on the suspend and yes,
- 8:00Speaker 1: and I said, so does this mean? And I was
- 8:02Speaker 1: told no, like you knew I was gonna ask about
- 8:05Speaker 1: Zeke so and I was. But apparently for right now,
- 8:09Speaker 1: nothing has changed on that front. All right, we're gonna
- 8:12Speaker 1: go to break. When we come back, we're gonna be
- 8:14Speaker 1: joined by Tyler Smith. Can't wait to talk to him.

- 10:24Speaker 1: The Cowboys storylines. Welcome back to Cowboys storyline. As promise,
- 10:32Speaker 1: We've got Tyler Smith. And you know, usually we could
- 10:35Speaker 1: just say offensive linemen or tackle or guard. Can I
- 10:38Speaker 1: call you guard right now? Can I say guard Tyler Smith,
- 10:41Speaker 1: it's where you're playing.
- 10:42Speaker 7: Or let's keep it offensive line. Okay, I rememver you
- 10:45Speaker 7: want to be versatile, guys, you gotta be versatile.
- 10:47Speaker 1: He keep it as an offensive lineman. Maybe he's telling
- 10:51Speaker 1: trying to tell us something about that. No, but I'll
- 10:54Speaker 1: ask you about that bit of the versatility and and
- 10:57Speaker 1: moving back and forth. I thought, I thought, honestly, I
- 11:01Speaker 1: thought you were robbed for not getting any Rookie of
- 11:03Speaker 1: the Year accolades last year, just because what you were
- 11:07Speaker 1: doing left tackle, left guard in the middle of the game,
- 11:09Speaker 1: in the middle of practice. It seemed like it was.
- 11:11Speaker 1: It was a really big deal, and it was how
- 11:14Speaker 1: tough was it for you? And was it a little
- 11:17Speaker 1: bit more natural than you thought?
- 11:18Speaker 7: I mean, obviously, you know early on it was a challenge. Like,
- 11:21Speaker 7: you know, I can't lie. You know, starting in training camp,
- 11:24Speaker 7: I had mostly guard reps. You know, unfortunately tir And
- 11:27Speaker 7: went down with his injury. You know, I was kind
- 11:29Speaker 7: of thrusting and having to play tackle like ten days
- 11:31Speaker 7: from a season opener, and so throughout the season, like
- 11:34Speaker 7: just kind of having a switch from like guard to tackle.
- 11:37Speaker 7: Like it was a challenge, but it was one that
- 11:39Speaker 7: I can honestly say. You know, my old line room
- 11:41Speaker 7: helped me with guys like you know, Zach Martin, Tyron Smith,
- 11:44Speaker 7: t he still Jason Peters especially, you know, just helping
- 11:47Speaker 7: me out, helping me transition, you know, giving me little tips,
- 11:50Speaker 7: giving me little little keys to the game. That really
- 11:53Speaker 7: just helped me through that. And so you know, the
- 11:55Speaker 7: biggest thing for me was to just be solid through it,
- 11:57Speaker 7: so you know, work it. Because Zach he pulled me
- 12:00Speaker 7: to the side one day and he said, listen, he said,
- 12:02Speaker 7: you know, it's going to be a challenge, but this
- 12:03Speaker 7: is probably the best thing for your career early on
- 12:06Speaker 7: is to just see this type of adversity and like
- 12:08Speaker 7: go through these situations where you're having to do this,
- 12:11Speaker 7: and so you know, I definitely embrace that.
- 12:13Speaker 1: So as I said to you before we uh, before
- 12:16Speaker 1: you start taping here, I said, this is a fans show,
- 12:19Speaker 1: so I get some fan questions here, and there's one
- 12:22Speaker 1: that was specifically what I was about to ask you here.
- 12:24Speaker 1: So this is from Chris c here. The question is
- 12:27Speaker 1: what's the biggest challenge moving back and forth, so specifically
- 12:31Speaker 1: in the middle of the game, when you're like left
- 12:33Speaker 1: tackle left guard, what changes the most Other than maybe
- 12:37Speaker 1: the size and speed of the guy.
- 12:38Speaker 7: Your facing, I mean, the technique aspect is probably the
- 12:41Speaker 7: most different. You know, when you're at tackle, you're moving
- 12:43Speaker 7: in a lot of space, so you're always really quick
- 12:45Speaker 7: out of your stance. Your movements can be a little
- 12:47Speaker 7: bit more natural and fluid because you're operating in space
- 12:50Speaker 7: against smaller guys, whereas in guard, you know all your
- 12:53Speaker 7: steps have to be precise, they have to be fast.
- 12:56Speaker 7: Your movements are tighter. Your windows for seeing things occur
- 13:00Speaker 7: are way smaller because you're in the phone boost, so
- 13:02Speaker 7: you know you could be looking left to right and
- 13:04Speaker 7: things are just flying. So you really just gotta you
- 13:07Speaker 7: gotta really kind of understand defenses more. You gotta understand
- 13:10Speaker 7: like defensive games more. You gotta understand how to really
- 13:14Speaker 7: work your leverage and a lot of aspects at guard,
- 13:16Speaker 7: whereas with tackle it's just a little bit more natural
- 13:19Speaker 7: for me because you know, I played it more So.
- 13:21Speaker 1: I've always heard those college quarterbacks that try to transition
- 13:25Speaker 1: to receiver, they kind of understand what the quarterback is
- 13:29Speaker 1: wanting because they've played it. When you play guard now,
- 13:33Speaker 1: and knowing you've played most of the season at tackle,
- 13:35Speaker 1: do you have a better understanding of what the tackle
- 13:38Speaker 1: wants out of his guard and vice.
- 13:39Speaker 7: Versas Almost definitely, Like you know, from a communication standpoint, definitely,
- 13:43Speaker 7: Like you know, any call I get, you know, I'm
- 13:45Speaker 7: gonna echo it to my tackle because like I know,
- 13:48Speaker 7: when I'm at tackle, you know, I need to hear
- 13:49Speaker 7: that call because I'm at the edge of the line.
- 13:51Speaker 7: You know, I'm hearing linebackers talk, I'm seeing things occur
- 13:54Speaker 7: on the edge. But getting that call from my guard,
- 13:57Speaker 7: you know, is pivot and me being able to do
- 13:59Speaker 7: my job. And you know, in past poring stuff I'm
- 14:02Speaker 7: making sure that you know, I'm helping the center, but
- 14:04Speaker 7: I also got eyes on my tackle because you know,
- 14:06Speaker 7: I know he's out there battling his butt off trying
- 14:08Speaker 7: to you know, block that end or whatever the case
- 14:10Speaker 7: may be. So just definitely, you know, making it as
- 14:13Speaker 7: easy for everybody as possible. It's kind of what you
- 14:15Speaker 7: should try to do.
- 14:16Speaker 1: So it's kind of funny you're talking about the center
- 14:20Speaker 1: and the left tackle. Now you think any guard in
- 14:23Speaker 1: the history of the NFL has had to play next
- 14:26Speaker 1: to two people who have the same name as him.
- 14:30Speaker 1: You got Tyler here and a Smith here. I mean,
- 14:33Speaker 1: that's is it ever confusing at all?
- 14:35Speaker 7: So so like we have nicknames to kind of assist
- 14:38Speaker 7: with that because it does get weird. So like I know,
- 14:42Speaker 7: like sometimes people call me Sys. Like sometimes sometimes they'll
- 14:46Speaker 7: call me you know, they'll be like t now, t
- 14:49Speaker 7: is tiring, Tyler is you know, be odish, and then
- 14:52Speaker 7: they'll call me like SiZ or something like that. So
- 14:54Speaker 7: I know they're talking to me specifically, but it is
- 14:57Speaker 7: kind of confusing at times, especially in film. You know,
- 15:00Speaker 7: I always give a look and I'll be like they'll
- 15:03Speaker 7: be like Tyler, I'll look I'll be like, what's up, coach,
- 15:05Speaker 7: Like We'll be looking at here. They'd be like, no,
- 15:07Speaker 7: Tyler B I'm like, okay, okay, So that is a
- 15:10Speaker 7: funny little thing. You know we all got you know,
- 15:12Speaker 7: we got Smith. Yeah, we got a whole bunch of
- 15:14Speaker 7: Smith so well.
- 15:16Speaker 1: I do have some some fan questions about that. Aspiring journalists,
- 15:21Speaker 1: since sends one at least every day, ask Tyler, who
- 15:25Speaker 1: is the best team Smith on the team?
- 15:28Speaker 7: Why are you trying to? I think we're all beautiful
- 15:30Speaker 7: in our own way. Guys, that's what you gotta understand.
- 15:33Speaker 1: Okay, okay, so beautiful and now now we're gonna get
- 15:36Speaker 1: to Beauty and the Beast. The next question, justin Hublick,
- 15:41Speaker 1: who's the strongest on the team? You Tyrant or Mazzi
- 15:46Speaker 1: man or are we missing someone else?
- 15:49Speaker 7: I mean, we got some really strong guys. Like I
- 15:51Speaker 7: ain't gonna lie if I had to. I think we
- 15:55Speaker 7: all have certain strengths. I think in terms of grown
- 15:58Speaker 7: man strength, Like if you look at for the strongest
- 16:01Speaker 7: grown man on the team, it's probably Tyrant. I ain't
- 16:04Speaker 7: go lock. You know, he like in his thirties, he
- 16:06Speaker 7: got like all his grown man strainth going. He's been
- 16:09Speaker 7: training for like over a decade, really throwing guys. So
- 16:13Speaker 7: you know, I'll give him a grown man straight aspect.
- 16:16Speaker 7: But when it comes to, you know, being a strong dude,
- 16:18Speaker 7: I'm gonna slash myself.
- 16:19Speaker 1: Guys. You yourself.
- 16:21Speaker 7: I'm pretty good for myself. Guy, you ain't got gotta worry.
- 16:23Speaker 7: I got some I got some stuff in the tank.
- 16:27Speaker 1: Have you have you gone up? I mean you guys
- 16:29Speaker 1: have gone up one on ones with with ma. I
- 16:31Speaker 1: mean for as for a rookie or really for anybody.
- 16:35Speaker 1: Do you see, man, that guy's got some.
- 16:37Speaker 7: Oh yeah, he got some own guys, don't make no mistake.
- 16:39Speaker 7: You know he's a young talent. He's a really strong
- 16:42Speaker 7: kid like and he's gonna be great, a strong guy.
- 16:45Speaker 1: I'm a writer. I need to know what do we
- 16:47Speaker 1: how do we spell that word?
- 16:49Speaker 6: Oh?
- 16:50Speaker 1: Oh m p h. I mean, whenever you say is
- 16:54Speaker 1: what we're gonna go with. I like it? Oh m
- 16:56Speaker 1: p h. All right, liberal rights major, All right, this linguistics,
- 17:00Speaker 1: this is just us talking. I ain't forget any of
- 17:02Speaker 1: this other stuff. When's Zach coming back? Man?
- 17:06Speaker 7: You know, we don't know, guys, I ain't I ain't
- 17:08Speaker 7: gonna lie, you know, obviously, you know there's some things
- 17:11Speaker 7: that you know need to be resolved on his end.
- 17:13Speaker 7: We're hoping we get him back as soon as possible,
- 17:16Speaker 7: being that you know he is one of, if not
- 17:18Speaker 7: the greatest guard in the league. But you know he
- 17:20Speaker 7: has things that you know gotta be handled. And you
- 17:23Speaker 7: know when he gets back, he's gonna come back and
- 17:25Speaker 7: give us everything he got.
- 17:26Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, I was just playing with you don't
- 17:28Speaker 1: want you don't need to get in business. However, is
- 17:31Speaker 1: it opportunity for I mean, there's there's younger guards that
- 17:34Speaker 1: are getting in there. I know there's some there's some
- 17:36Speaker 1: rookies and and and younger players that are getting some
- 17:39Speaker 1: valuable reps right right, So and Zach seems like it's
- 17:42Speaker 1: kind of guy that could step right in. So it
- 17:44Speaker 1: could be a win win if it all works out here.
- 17:46Speaker 7: Oh yeah, it's it's definitely valuable, you know. And the
- 17:49Speaker 7: in the fact that you know, those young guys get
- 17:51Speaker 7: to get those reps against the ones, you know, they
- 17:53Speaker 7: get to rotate in. You know, we're really we're seeing
- 17:56Speaker 7: how much death we have as an old line for real,
- 17:59Speaker 7: Like we're seeing, you know, how guys can perform when
- 18:03Speaker 7: you know they got to step up and go against like,
- 18:05Speaker 7: you know, a real challenge. You know, we rotate more
- 18:08Speaker 7: sometimes will rotting less because you know, as many guys.
- 18:11Speaker 7: But it's all good work. I'll definitely say that, it's
- 18:14Speaker 7: all really good work.
- 18:15Speaker 1: You mentioned his name earlier, Jason Peters, and we had
- 18:18Speaker 1: a question from Brandon Laurie about that about just what
- 18:21Speaker 1: he was able to give you last year and really everybody,
- 18:24Speaker 1: I mean, you got a chance to come into a
- 18:26Speaker 1: situation and where you were surrounded by future Hall of famers,
- 18:29Speaker 1: including Jason Peters. What did he specifically bring man?
- 18:33Speaker 7: Jason was pivotal for me. Guys like, you know, I
- 18:35Speaker 7: can't you know, I give a man so much props
- 18:37Speaker 7: because he came in man. You know, he explained to me,
- 18:40Speaker 7: He's like, you know, I'm forty two, bro. You know
- 18:42Speaker 7: I didn't done everything or forty one or forty or
- 18:45Speaker 7: whatever he.
- 18:45Speaker 1: Was at the time.
- 18:46Speaker 7: He was like, you know, I've done everything I need
- 18:48Speaker 7: to do. You know he said that my numbers called
- 18:50Speaker 7: I'll be ready, but he said, you know I'm here
- 18:52Speaker 7: to get you right now. I'm here to make sure
- 18:54Speaker 7: you operating that full capacity. He just gave me so
- 18:57Speaker 7: many secrets to the game, like things that I didn't understand,
- 19:01Speaker 7: you know, coming out of college, just because I was
- 19:03Speaker 7: a young player and you know, I hadn't really been
- 19:05Speaker 7: around like anybody ahead of me that had gone on
- 19:08Speaker 7: to that next level and was operating, you know, that
- 19:11Speaker 7: super elite level. He just imparted knowledge on me. You know,
- 19:14Speaker 7: guys like Tying and Zach did it as well. Like
- 19:17Speaker 7: just having those guys who you know are going to
- 19:19Speaker 7: the Hall of Fame, who are extremely fundamentally consistent, who
- 19:23Speaker 7: been against almost every guy in the league, where I
- 19:25Speaker 7: say Jason had been against almost everybody. I swear I
- 19:30Speaker 7: could call him the Oracle sometimes guys, because he'd be like,
- 19:33Speaker 7: what you think he gonna do on this play based
- 19:35Speaker 7: on the way he lined up, and like this is
- 19:37Speaker 7: a play from like a game this year, Like this
- 19:40Speaker 7: is like a twenty twenty two game. You know we're
- 19:42Speaker 7: going through scouting him. He'd be like, I bet he's
- 19:44Speaker 7: gonna go inside watch Boombo And sure enough, like he
- 19:47Speaker 7: would go inside. So he like when you see him
- 19:49Speaker 7: lined up like so and so know he finna do this,
- 19:52Speaker 7: and like so I just take that to heart.
- 19:54Speaker 1: And there was one game where you know, I.
- 19:56Speaker 7: Wasn't punching well and he said, hey, man, just calm down.
- 20:00Speaker 7: He's saying, when you go out there, he said, just
- 20:02Speaker 7: reach out and grab him. Just reach out and touch him.
- 20:04Speaker 7: And I was like, man like, like I'm thinking to myself,
- 20:07Speaker 7: I'm like, man, is it really, like you know, is
- 20:09Speaker 7: it that easy to just reach out and touch him?
- 20:12Speaker 7: But I sure enough, like I kicked out, I reached
- 20:14Speaker 7: out and I grabbed him. I said, oh, oh, I
- 20:16Speaker 7: got him. You know, I was excited. I came back sline.
- 20:19Speaker 7: He's like what I tell you and so old stuff
- 20:21Speaker 7: like that. Bro, So you know that's that's big bro
- 20:23Speaker 7: for sure. Like you know, he did a lot for me.
- 20:25Speaker 1: He was forty two. Could you see yourself even I mean,
- 20:29Speaker 1: I know you don't get ahead of yourself, but I mean,
- 20:31Speaker 1: could you see yourself playing that long?
- 20:33Speaker 7: Man? If I am blessed to do so awesome, But coma,
- 20:39Speaker 7: that's a lot of years man. Like he's an anomaly, bro,
- 20:42Speaker 7: and he moving well, Like, guys, don't make no mistake.
- 20:45Speaker 7: This is no this is no regular world. Forty two
- 20:48Speaker 7: years old. This is like, you know, this is a
- 20:51Speaker 7: different human being. Forty two years old or forty one.
- 20:53Speaker 7: He's not even forty two.
- 20:54Speaker 1: He like forty one. Let me just I ain't get different.
- 20:56Speaker 7: I'm gonna just respect he's forty one or forty.
- 20:58Speaker 1: He was in college, tied into there's.
- 21:00Speaker 7: A college time and watched some of his highlights.
- 21:04Speaker 1: I've watched his highlights. Okay, I'm an architean guy. I've
- 21:07Speaker 1: seen him. I was like, who's this big boy? He
- 21:10Speaker 1: could move? He can move? Bro, what one more big
- 21:13Speaker 1: guy that could move? Larry Allen? You wear his number?
- 21:18Speaker 1: And what does what does his game mean to you?
- 21:21Speaker 1: And what does it mean to wear the seventy three?
- 21:23Speaker 7: I mean, obviously you know it's an honor man. You
- 21:26Speaker 7: know when I when I picked this number, you know
- 21:28Speaker 7: I understood. You know the history behind it, you know
- 21:30Speaker 7: the weight that it carries. You know Larry, Larry's game was,
- 21:33Speaker 7: you know, it was unlike anything at the time. Extremely strong, dude,
- 21:37Speaker 7: almost you know, unnatural strength, you know, legendary strength, whatever
- 21:41Speaker 7: you want.
- 21:41Speaker 1: To call it.
- 21:42Speaker 7: And just like you know the grit that he played with,
- 21:44Speaker 7: you know, the adversity that you know he faced coming
- 21:47Speaker 7: up and how he powered through that to you know,
- 21:49Speaker 7: become this great. You know this great guy, you know,
- 21:52Speaker 7: this great football player. You know this dude who uh,
- 21:55Speaker 7: you know, who's legend will live on a long after
- 21:57Speaker 7: he's gone.
- 21:58Speaker 1: Like that's huge for me.
- 21:59Speaker 7: And so, you know, I definitely is not lost on
- 22:02Speaker 7: me how much it means. You know, I definitely intend to,
- 22:04Speaker 7: you know, carry it on the right way.
- 22:06Speaker 1: I'll tell you what. It really is impressive to have
- 22:09Speaker 1: to see younger players that embrace the the history of
- 22:13Speaker 1: the team and and the NFL, uh, because it doesn't
- 22:16Speaker 1: happen a lot, and it's you know, nowadays, it's hard
- 22:18Speaker 1: for younger guys to know much about the past, but
- 22:20Speaker 1: it is it's refreshing to hear that from you. Especially.
- 22:24Speaker 1: Larry Allen is one that you're right. He will, he'll
- 22:27Speaker 1: he'll be uh, we'll be talking about him and him
- 22:29Speaker 1: chasing down the Saints linebacker. I don't know if you've
- 22:32Speaker 1: seen the highlights.
- 22:33Speaker 7: I've seen the highlight.
- 22:34Speaker 1: Yeah, you said, Larry, exactly, this is exactly a dear
- 22:38Speaker 1: dear guys three and twenty five perun you've seen this.
- 22:42Speaker 1: You've seen this flat hootage. Yeah, yeah, we might have
- 22:44Speaker 1: to go watch that again. All right, all right, well
- 22:47Speaker 1: we expect you to be chasing down people if there's
- 22:50Speaker 1: an interception that happens. But we don't want to.
- 22:52Speaker 7: We don't want that. We don't want I don't want that,
- 22:53Speaker 7: but I chase down somebody before.
- 22:55Speaker 1: Guys. All right, it exists, it exists. All right, we're

- 25:43Speaker 1: I answer it, and it's the end of it, you know,
- 25:46Speaker 1: but still it's good. Definitely want to thank Tyler Smith.
- 25:49Speaker 1: For it, for being here. That was a lot of fun. Uh.
- 25:51Speaker 1: He's just a he's just a cool guy, just kind
- 25:53Speaker 1: of chill, you know. But then cat mean streak to him,
- 25:56Speaker 1: as all the good offensive linemen do. And so I'm
- 25:59Speaker 1: glad we didn't see that side for sure. All right,
- 26:04Speaker 1: let's go to the questions. This one. This is the name,
- 26:07Speaker 1: this is his Twitter name, Alan Sad since ninety six. Huh.
- 26:14Speaker 1: Seems like a super Bowl thing, all right. With the
- 26:16Speaker 1: new system in place and some of the struggles Dak
- 26:18Speaker 1: had with interceptions last year in terms of timing balls,
- 26:22Speaker 1: banging off receivers hands, you anticipate him playing more snaps
- 26:25Speaker 1: than normal in preseason or just playing the dress rehearsal
- 26:28Speaker 1: game for a series or two. Oh as great as
- 26:31Speaker 1: that sounds, that sounds great, Give him more snaps. And
- 26:35Speaker 1: I used to be in that mode. Let him play.
- 26:39Speaker 1: But when you seen your quarterback crunched like he was
- 26:43Speaker 1: in Seattle, I'm talking about Romo or any player. I
- 26:48Speaker 1: think Michael Vick maybe one year long time ago, card
- 26:52Speaker 1: it off the field. I mean, just you just your
- 26:55Speaker 1: preseason and you have your quarterback that gets hurt. What
- 26:59Speaker 1: a punch to the gut that would be as great
- 27:01Speaker 1: as it would be to give him a little bit
- 27:03Speaker 1: more timing and reps and all that and new offense.
- 27:08Speaker 1: I don't know. And I think the reason why that
- 27:11Speaker 1: I convinced myself that I don't like that him playing
- 27:16Speaker 1: anymore other than the injuries is I go back to
- 27:18Speaker 1: the Tampa opener two years ago. He remember he got
- 27:22Speaker 1: hurt against the Giants week what six five, missed all year,
- 27:29Speaker 1: comes back, missed some time in camp because he had
- 27:32Speaker 1: the shoulder or arm pit injury or whatever he had,
- 27:36Speaker 1: didn't do anything. Then he goes to Tampa and plays
- 27:41Speaker 1: lights out, you know, four hundred something yards easily could
- 27:45Speaker 1: have won that game lost at the final second. He
- 27:47Speaker 1: played great. I thought that that game. Don't let Nate
- 27:50Speaker 1: Newton hear you, but I thought it was a moral
- 27:52Speaker 1: victory because I thought what it did to the morale
- 27:54Speaker 1: of the team. They went on a winning streak. I thought,
- 27:56Speaker 1: But that right there was like, all right, they really
- 27:58Speaker 1: don't need to play in preseason because Dak was obviously
- 28:01Speaker 1: ready to play and go back and look at this
- 28:02Speaker 1: team for the most part, and that Tampa game last
- 28:04Speaker 1: year was terrible. We all know that, but for the
- 28:07Speaker 1: most part. This football team comes out and it does
- 28:11Speaker 1: a really good job in the preseason. I mean, I'm sorry,
- 28:14Speaker 1: in the first month of the season, and last year
- 28:16Speaker 1: included I'd mean they lost the first one bad, but
- 28:18Speaker 1: then it came back with Cooper. Russian still won the
- 28:20Speaker 1: rest of the games in September. So what they're doing
- 28:23Speaker 1: in the preseason works. I wouldn't change it at all.
- 28:25Speaker 1: Here all right, Mayo has a question here, based on
- 28:29Speaker 1: performance only in training camp so far, how would you
- 28:32Speaker 1: rank the wide receiver position who based on performance only,
- 28:39Speaker 1: not your expectations coming in or any of that stuff.
- 28:44Speaker 1: I'm not gonna go through the whole list, but there's
- 28:48Speaker 1: no surprise. I mean CD has been number one in
- 28:51Speaker 1: my opinion. CD is everything that you want him to be.
- 28:55Speaker 1: And also you got to remember, too, is who he's
- 28:57Speaker 1: going up against. He's going up against the top corners
- 28:59Speaker 1: and he's looking he looks really Brandon Cooks is right there.
- 29:03Speaker 1: Gallup has made some plays. You know, we could I
- 29:08Speaker 1: could rank him differently, but that's one, two and three
- 29:10Speaker 1: for you, so it really doesn't matter. And my producer here,
- 29:14Speaker 1: Chris Beam at the break, had an outstanding point, actually
- 29:17Speaker 1: gave me the roster, and he's totally right. Is there's
- 29:21Speaker 1: thirteen receivers here. Five are making the team, five have
- 29:26Speaker 1: have already made the team. The other guys there is
- 29:30Speaker 1: what eight guys for one spot on the roster, maybe
- 29:33Speaker 1: two spots on your practice squad, And of course you
- 29:35Speaker 1: can call some guys up, so being on the practice
- 29:38Speaker 1: squads at the end of the world, you still could play.
- 29:41Speaker 1: But there's not a lot of spots here. If we assume,
- 29:44Speaker 1: and I think we should assume, Jalen Tolbert is making
- 29:47Speaker 1: the team, and he's looked pretty good out here, why
- 29:49Speaker 1: would you give up on your third round pick. There's
- 29:51Speaker 1: no reason to. You want to see progress. He's showing that.
- 29:54Speaker 1: We'll see what he does in the games. I don't
- 29:57Speaker 1: know how Turpin doesn't make this team. Turpin is an
- 29:59Speaker 1: All Pro returner from last year, not just Pro Bowl
- 30:02Speaker 1: All Pro. We saw even in the preseason, but we
- 30:05Speaker 1: saw how dynamic he can be. Teams remember that in
- 30:09Speaker 1: the season they kicked away from him. He had some plays.
- 30:13Speaker 1: Now he's doing it on offense too, So after that,
- 30:17Speaker 1: I like what I've seen out of Jalen Brooks. Who
- 30:20Speaker 1: hasn't I mean, he's been really good. A lot of
- 30:22Speaker 1: that's based off expectations because he didn't do a lot
- 30:24Speaker 1: in college. He has looked good. Jalen Marino Cropper has
- 30:28Speaker 1: done a nice job. He's a rookie. Simmi Fojoco makes place.
- 30:31Speaker 1: I mean, he's doing pretty good as well. I'm sorry,
- 30:34Speaker 1: I'm not answering it to rank, but those are the
- 30:36Speaker 1: guys that are kind of the ones that are really
- 30:39Speaker 1: head and shoulders, I think right now vying for those
- 30:42Speaker 1: final spots there at wide receivers. So it's gonna be
- 30:45Speaker 1: fun to watch. And of course I say this every
- 30:47Speaker 1: year too. We're not even talking about Ontario Drummond, but
- 30:52Speaker 1: he'll make a one handed diving catch in the fourth
- 30:54Speaker 1: quarter of a game against Jacksonville for a touchdown maybe,
- 30:58Speaker 1: and it's like, oh, we're just drumming fit. It always happens.
- 31:01Speaker 1: The games matter, and it'll be really cool to see that,
- 31:04Speaker 1: all right, Sean Lawson. Who who's the next three players
- 31:08Speaker 1: to be inducted into the Ring of Honor? And if
- 31:10Speaker 1: you had to put one person from the pre Jerry days,
- 31:14Speaker 1: who would it be. Here's why I like this question.
- 31:20Speaker 1: Next three players? You said you said players, not meaning
- 31:24Speaker 1: any coach or anything like that. So I don't have
- 31:26Speaker 1: to answer that because you said players. So I'm gonna
- 31:30Speaker 1: talk about players. And you said if you had to
- 31:33Speaker 1: put one person from the pre Jerry days, which means
- 31:37Speaker 1: I only have to include Everson Walls because he did
- 31:40Speaker 1: play one season with Jerry and Jimmy, who were not mentioning. No,
- 31:46Speaker 1: I'm not mentioning him. I'm just saying I don't have
- 31:48Speaker 1: to answer this. I don't know when Jimmy's getting in
- 31:50Speaker 1: the Ring of Honor. That'll happen at some point. I
- 31:52Speaker 1: hope we all hope Everson Walls I would include in
- 31:57Speaker 1: that list, but he was technically with Jerry. So who
- 32:01Speaker 1: are the next three players to be inducted the Ring
- 32:03Speaker 1: of Honors? The first question? Next three? DeMarcus, Where I
- 32:07Speaker 1: think and I could see maybe ever since Walls, maybe
- 32:16Speaker 1: Witting and Romo, And yes, I think they will both
- 32:19Speaker 1: go in. Uh so where Witting and Romo maybe together?
- 32:24Speaker 1: But I don't ever like that together. I mean, just
- 32:28Speaker 1: give them their moment. I mean they didn't didn't always
- 32:31Speaker 1: play together, you know, I mean, but still Drew Pearson,
- 32:34Speaker 1: I think Larry Allen and Haley all went in together,
- 32:36Speaker 1: didn't really match, but I don't think either one of
- 32:40Speaker 1: them cared. If you had to put one person from
- 32:43Speaker 1: the pre Jerry days to who would it be. I
- 32:48Speaker 1: kind of think Harvey Martin was pretty good. Harvey Martin,
- 32:53Speaker 1: Cornell Green, those two, those two would I would say.
- 32:59Speaker 1: I like it too, Taul Jones, but I think I
- 33:03Speaker 1: definitely think Harvey Martin and Nate Newton deserves to be
- 33:11Speaker 1: up there as well. I know he doesn't. He doesn't
- 33:13Speaker 1: ever care to talk about it, but Nate should be
- 33:15Speaker 1: up there, all right. Brandon Gage, he's from North Dakota.
- 33:19Speaker 1: He said, how's my guy? Hunter Lifke looking tough to
- 33:23Speaker 1: see right now, hasn't made a huge difference again, playing
- 33:27Speaker 1: a couple of days of pads. Wait till we get
- 33:30Speaker 1: to a little bit more. I think preseason is gonna
- 33:32Speaker 1: be the spot for him. I really think he'll he'll
- 33:34Speaker 1: get some reps, He'll he'll run the ball in preseason games.
- 33:39Speaker 1: We'll see what he does kind of as an h
- 33:41Speaker 1: back type guy out of the backfield. I think it's
- 33:43Speaker 1: tough to gauge what he's doing right now. He hasn't
- 33:46Speaker 1: stood out that much. He's a preseason game guy for me,
- 33:50Speaker 1: all right, I'm gonna run through the questions here. I
- 33:53Speaker 1: got I got a few, and we are running up
- 33:56Speaker 1: here against time. Joe Simpson, does it make sense to
- 33:59Speaker 1: shop some of the depth around before we lose it
- 34:02Speaker 1: to the waiver wire? I know it's early, but there's
- 34:04Speaker 1: no way we can keep all this talent. We do
- 34:06Speaker 1: have some issues with O line depth. Yeah, we say
- 34:10Speaker 1: it every year or too. We never think that some
- 34:13Speaker 1: guys are gonna come back to the practice squad or whatever,
- 34:15Speaker 1: and they tend to. I do think there's a lot
- 34:17Speaker 1: of depth a D line. That's probably what you're talking about.
- 34:20Speaker 1: There some issues on the O line depth, sure, especially
- 34:24Speaker 1: with Zach Martin being out. But with Zach being out,
- 34:27Speaker 1: we're kind of getting to see these guys a little
- 34:29Speaker 1: bit more, all right, Bud Gonzalez, how's Isaac aler Cohen
- 34:32Speaker 1: doing on the defensive line? Really interested to see if
- 34:34Speaker 1: he makes the roster. Making the roster's gonna be tough
- 34:37Speaker 1: for Isaac. There's no doubt about it, where I do
- 34:39Speaker 1: think he can have a factor in. I've said this before,
- 34:43Speaker 1: as he was a roster exemption guy, which means you
- 34:46Speaker 1: got one more guy on the practice squad, so you
- 34:48Speaker 1: had the seventeenth guy. He doesn't have that anymore. However,
- 34:51Speaker 1: because he plays defensive line and he has offensive line experience,
- 34:55Speaker 1: he technically could make the practice squad. That could give
- 34:58Speaker 1: you two guys that could actually put in the scout team.
- 35:01Speaker 1: He could play some offense, he could play some defense,
- 35:04Speaker 1: and he could do it rather well. So it's almost
- 35:07Speaker 1: like having a two for one if they decide to
- 35:09Speaker 1: keep him on the practice squad, I think to not
- 35:11Speaker 1: only develop him, but that would be a reason all right,
- 35:13Speaker 1: Jake Benoi's other than kicker, which position group makes you
- 35:16Speaker 1: the most nervous before the preseason? Running back? Offensive line depth?
- 35:23Speaker 1: Those two? Freddy his question, who's getting more reps on
- 35:27Speaker 1: kicking punt returns, Turpin or Deuce preseason Deuce, He's gonna
- 35:32Speaker 1: have to make some big plays. I still think Turpin's
- 35:34Speaker 1: pro bowler guy. I wouldn't he's my guy right now,
- 35:37Speaker 1: but I do want to see what Deuce can do.
- 35:40Speaker 1: Two more, does Dustin this from Dustin low Miller? Is
- 35:45Speaker 1: this the fastest you've seen this team? Looks seems like
- 35:47Speaker 1: both sides of the ball, they're really flying around this
- 35:49Speaker 1: faster and quicker than previous years. He doesn't stand out
- 35:54Speaker 1: to me like that. I'm not saying you're wrong. I
- 35:58Speaker 1: just haven't seen that as much. Just straight speed, I
- 36:02Speaker 1: haven't seen that yet. Receivers do look pretty fast, but
- 36:09Speaker 1: not I wouldn't go there just yet as comparing it
- 36:11Speaker 1: to others. And then last one, King Griff, do you
- 36:14Speaker 1: think Ronald Jones could be released before his suspension? He
- 36:17Speaker 1: could don't have to two games run him in the preseason.
- 36:23Speaker 1: He could even get hurt, he could even be banged up,
- 36:25Speaker 1: and he would still be suspended. I think let's keep
- 36:29Speaker 1: it going. It's it's it's only two games. It'll give
- 36:32Speaker 1: some other guys an opportunity. I'm not saying he's a
- 36:34Speaker 1: lot to make the team, but we'll see what happens.
- 36:37Speaker 1: You don't have to cut him just because it's it's
- 36:38Speaker 1: two games, all right, Guys, really appreciate you sending the questions.
- 36:43Speaker 1: As we said before, O can't wait to get on
- 36:45Speaker 1: the phone line with you guys and and talk about
- 36:47Speaker 1: this team. It's really a lot of fun. So I
- 36:50Speaker 1: want to thank Chris Bean. It's more than a producer.
- 36:52Speaker 1: He does a little bit of everything. He provides shade
- 36:54Speaker 1: too in a good way too. When you say he's
- 36:57Speaker 1: providing shade, It's like real, real shade, all right. So
- 37:00Speaker 1: for Chris Tyler Smith and all you guys for sending questions,
- 37:04Speaker 1: thank you so much. I'm Nick Eatman and we'll see
