• 1:49
  Speaker 1: all the time saying, oh it's looking great. It's looking great,
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: way better than I even thought this place could look
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: super super job by this whole team to get it
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: ready here when we come back. So I want to
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: hear from you guys eight eight eight eight five five
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: two two nine seven. Also on the text line eight
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: one seven two nine zero three two nine eight. You
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: guys have been using that throughout the training camp, So
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: I want to be able to hear from you guys
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: on the text line as well. Twitter. I'll get the
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: questions there. Uh also, so just whatever whatever form you
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: can you can send them in, please do, please do.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: And so we'll let's get to it like we like
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: we always do, unless I have a caller, but uh,
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: but like we always do. Let's talk about the storylines.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: And they're not as good as you as you would
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: want them to be here after two preseason games. And
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: that's always the key. The key is always to make
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: sure that you get injury free if you if possible,
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: and that did not happen obviously against Seattle.
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: Demarvin over Shown, rookie linebacker, gonna be out for the
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: season with the torn ACL. Mike McCarthy will address this
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: in a press conference here in about two hours. By
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: that that is the news that it's gonna be that
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: he is gonna be out for the season. John Stevens,
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: rookie tight end, is having a great camp. He's he's
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: the he was the hindershot of this camp, maybe even better.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: I actually like a little bit more productive catch wise,
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: really tall almost at times. I mean they wanted to
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: list him as a wide receiver. That's how versatile he is,
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: that's how dynamic he he could be uh and he
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: still can't. I mean, you know, a cl injuries, they happened, Unfortunately,
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: they happened all the time. And this this team, this
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: the Cowboys, UH athletic trainers do a great job of
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: rehabbing players. And so it's early in the year. You know,
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: obviously you hadn't even started the season yet. So I
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: would imagine both those guys can get back for for
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: maybe some offseason workouts next year and be ready to go. Uhh.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: But but a tough blow for both because first of all,
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: Overshown was gonna have a big role special teams defense
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: as far as you know, probably Nickel and time. And
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: then you know John Stevens, who knows, who knows where
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: he would have kind of fit in, but I think
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: he was. He was definitely making making the team, and
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: so it's unfortunate that that that happened when it when
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: it did. So that's that's where where we are there
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: with with those two guys. Matt will let's go, second
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: year offensive tackle. He suffered a right shoulder injury. He's
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: had some issues with the left side. Now he's got
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: right shoulder, which you don't know if that's better or worse.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: I mean, on one side, you'd like to say, well,
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: at least it's not the same one, but then it's like, well,
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: why are you having sublextations on your shoulder for both
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: of them, So you wonder if that's something that is
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: going to be a recurring thing. But it doesn't sound
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: like from now again McCarthy will address this later. It
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: doesn't sound like it will be a a surgery situation
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: for him, so that that's a good thing. So we'll
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: see what happens. But he was he was right now
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: in the lead for your That's an issue that they
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: have right now is swing tackle that they got to
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: figure out who's after the top five, especially with Tyron
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: Smith being one of them. You never know how long
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: he's going to stay healthy. You've got to have some
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: other options there, so you kind of wonder what the
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: backups look like that that is a situation that I
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: wonder just where they're going to be headed there. So
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: that's the injury front that we know of now. Hopefully
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: there's not more. Hopefully there's better news than that, but
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: it does sound like Overshown and Stevens are both going
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: to be out for the season, and what would need
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: reconstructive surgery. Other storylines. I thought coming out of the game,
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: I thought the biggest from a positive standpoint was that
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: your backup skill position spots are getting locked up. I
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: thought two receivers for sure made the team if there
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: was any question. I don't think there's a question whether
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: or not Jalen Tolbert makes the team. But I think
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: what he did in the game probably shows that he's
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: going to be on the field during the game. He's
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: not gonna just be inactive. I think he's going to
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: be an active player on special teams that they will use.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: I see him right now in a Cedric Wilson role
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: from maybe a couple of years ago, where he was
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: the fourth guy, fifth guy, Noah Brown type but gets
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: on the gets in the game, will play a lot.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: You know this, this this West Coast type offense, A
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: lot of receivers will play. They run a lot of
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: routes and going sideline to sideline and going up the field.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: You're gonna need them all, and I think Jalen Tolbert
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: solidified his spot there. I also think Cavante Turpin did
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: as well. He was making the team. But I think
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: that what it shows is that he's maybe a little
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: bit more of a uh more than just a returner.
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: I think he's gonna play some on offense. He had
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: a couple of nice plays in the game. He good
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: bounce back game for Cavante Turpin for sure. There so
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: those two spots now, running back, Deuce, he's on the team.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: Deuce is definitely on the team here. But I think
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: where second, second, running back third, rick o'dadell made sure
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: that that, you know, don't forget about me. I thought
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: he played really well. Ma Leak Davis ran the ball. Well,
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: something's gonna have to give there at the running back spot.
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: And then you still have Ronald Jones, who's going to
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: be suspended for the first two games. So they really
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: don't have to do anything with Ronald Jones right now.
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: I think he once the cutdown day happens in a
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: couple of weeks, it's probably even about ten days from now,
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: when the cuts happened down to fifty three, Ronald Jones
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: would move to a suspension list. There's gonna be a
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: bunch of lists. There's there's there's all kinds of lists
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: there injury lists, and and you know, whether it be
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: ir whether it be an FI whether all kinds of lists,
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: he will be on one of those. He'll be on
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: the suspension list there. So they really don't have to
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: do anything with Ronald Jones. He'll just kind of be
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: there now week three. If Daddle's playing well, Deuce is
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: doing his thing, and Pollard's doing his thing, then they
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: got a decision to make there. But always see, it
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: always seems to kind of work itself out, and I
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: think that it will happen there. So I thought dadtll
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: and Deuce solidified some spots that could be up in
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: the air for Rico Dwell, but I think he did
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: enough to stay there, stay on the team. Tolbert and
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: also Turpin So's that's basically your skill position is now.
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: The only thing that's really up in the air is
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: what do they do at quarterback? Are they going to
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: keep three quarterbacks this year? I understand the new rule,
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: you still got to keep three to make it happen.
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: You have to have three on the roster, and that's
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: not something this team has done a lot of. Though
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: they did to finish the year last year. They did
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: have Will Greer on the roster for most of the time,
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: so I could see that happening and then tight ends
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: a little up in the air now too. But Sean McEwan,
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: I mean, Sean McEwan, I think is a guy that
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: they would always want to put on the team. He's
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: going to be on the team, So I see them
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: keeping four tight ends, especially with Stevens now likely to
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: go to IR. So you got Scoonmaker, Ferguson Hindershot, and
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: then Sean McEwan. Maybe Fant Isaiah Fant can can work
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: himself in there. I mean, he's kind of has that
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: h back role. He might be the guy that could
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: that could push McEwan uh there. But I don't, I
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: don't know. I think Sean McEwan does so many things,
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: nothing that's wiling that you're like, oh, we got to
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: have him, But it's the dirty work stuff that's kept
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: him on the roster and and those are the things
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: that this coaching staff really really loves. Plus special teams
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: as well. All Right, got some questions here, got again
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: waiting for the calls. Here, we got a call. Actually,
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: let's go to one. We's go to to the call
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: right now, because that's what this show is about. So
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: I want to know who the first call is let's go.
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: Let's go right to it. Let's go to the call.
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: It's Mike and a Popka, Florida. Go ahead, Mike, Mike
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: from a Popka, Florida. You're the man. You're the You're
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: the guy that should have been the first caller. I'm
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: so happy that it's you, So Mike, what's up?
• 9:57
  Speaker 4: Hey? Nick?
• 9:58
  Speaker 5: I just want to call it. Congratulate relations man. You
• 10:01
  Speaker 5: know I've been with you since Tuesday night at the
• 10:03
  Speaker 5: rans yep. You know you inspiration truly is God a
• 10:08
  Speaker 5: great job and deserve everything you've got coming to you.
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: I mean that you you're You're one of the olds,
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: so there's no there's no doubt that you should have
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: been the caller. I'm glad that that it's you.
• 10:18
  Speaker 5: What's up, nice man, I appreciate that question. You know,
• 10:22
  Speaker 5: this year, the off season, the front off is put
• 10:25
  Speaker 5: in some veterans and maybe a little different than in
• 10:28
  Speaker 5: the past, that you know, had a proving track record
• 10:30
  Speaker 5: that have won Super Bowls like Gilmour and Cooks. Do
• 10:34
  Speaker 5: you think that is going to impact the locker room
• 10:38
  Speaker 5: enough to make a difference to really put these guys
• 10:40
  Speaker 5: over to the hump, Because in the years past, I'm
• 10:42
  Speaker 5: not sure if they had got on the roster to
• 10:46
  Speaker 5: help these guys along when he's when he's a big
• 10:48
  Speaker 5: guy in playoffs, came along.
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: Yep, thanks for the call, Mike, appreciate that. Good question,
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: and I I agree. It's got to be the right veteran,
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: not just a veteran who's been in the league and
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: is a good player. Still, it's got to be a
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: guy that is a good player, he's been in the
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: league and he's comfortable with himself and his role to
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: share it with others. And I say that because when
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: we interviewed Deran Bland, he said that Stefan Gilmour has
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: helped him, and so did Trey Von Diggs. He's helped
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: him in a lot of ways. So not only are
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: you getting a good corner, but you're getting a guy
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: that can help Digs and Deuran Bland. We all know
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: what Brandon Cooks is doing for Jalen Tolbert that alone.
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: So it's more than just one player that you're getting in.
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: You're getting guys that are saying, Hey, I'm gonna come
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: in here. I'm going to help this whole room, this
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: whole receiver room, the whole cornerback room. And so if
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: you're getting more than just one guy that alone, and
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: what that does is is then the other veterans see
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: that and go, man, this guy's new. Brandon Cooks is new,
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: but he's also a leader. I've been here five years.
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: I should be a leader. I'm not talking about anyone specifically.
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: I'm just saying I think veteran see that and go, wow,
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: he's a captain or he's a leader. I can be
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: like that too, So that's that's important. I think that
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: that alone, right there is probably one of the biggest
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: things that they've done. And and also let's remember last
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: year Jason Peters did that as well. When they brought
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: him in. He helped Terrence Steele probably more than than
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: he just helped being on the team, and there were
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: some times where they helped him. And I know his
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: name has come up a little bit here lately, and
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: we'll see if that's that's something you know, the Cowboys
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: w would want to do. I know, I know sometimes
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: the flip side on guys like that is if they're
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: progress stoppers, and a progress stopper obviously would be somebody
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: that just wouldn't be helping these young guys or plays
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: and and and the other guys are just have have
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: no no room to grow. But like you could say
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: that Brandon Cooks was was a progress stopper to Jaalen Tolbert,
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: except for he's taking him under his wing and he's saying, Hey,
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: you're the guy. We we can do this together. And
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: I think I think now you got two really good
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: players instead of one. Let's go back to the phone
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: line again, Anthony from Seattle. Man, you we left you there,
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: We left you in Seattle. What's up?
• 13:09
  Speaker 6: You did? Man?
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: But you know what, It's all good. I had a
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: good time. I finally got a chance to meet you, guys. Man,
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: I specifically met you, but I just want to tell
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: you again Nick Man, appreciate the work because of the
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: work out do on the podcast, Man, it gives us
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: an opportunity for those that had a network to be
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: able to keep up with the team.
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: Were you were you thing you guys do? I was, Yeah,
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: that's right, I did. I did get to talk to you.
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: What'd you see? How was the how was the view?
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: And what what caught your eye?
• 13:37
  Speaker 5: Man?
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: The view was great. I think one of the biggest
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: things that I saw in the opposite end of the field.
• 13:43
  Speaker 5: Man.
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: That really blew me away was I was devastating. I
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: was almost ready to go when I saw it, but
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: when I saw Dmo go down, I was startbroken. I
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: was fartbroken. And then I saw when I saw the
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: cart come down the sideline, it was devastating. But other
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: than that, some of the biggest thing, you know, Jalen's Octobert,
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: you know, continuing to shine in preseason, not just being
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: an ox snard all Oxnard just can see, you know,
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: see him step up and then I'm not surprised by
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: Deuce anymore, and I think I think they should have
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: just put him on the bench and just hey, man,
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: can we bubble wrap this guy. We don't need the
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: lead to see any more of what he's doing, man,
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: because this guy is going to be amazing for this
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: football team. So you know, those are those are some
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: of the things that I've seen, man. But I wanted
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: to ask you, Nick, with with the Marion's injury, who
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: do you think, I mean, obviously it's going to be
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: difficult to replace that man, but who do you think
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: could step in and make and make an impact or
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: kind of serving kind of the role that he was
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: doing just kind of just all over the place. You know,
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: I kind of thought about Mark Heath Bell. I know
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: DQ always got things up his sleeves, but I wanted
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: to ask you who do you think you could see
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: serving in that role? Man, I'm gonna hang up, and
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: I appreciate you taking my call.
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, good to hear from you, Anthony. Uh, good stuff.
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah I did. I did get a chance to meet
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: him there on on the sideline. Great stuff. Probably gonna
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: be a little quicker that. That's one thing we gotta know.
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: Pace pacing is big in this West Coast offense. Same
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: with storyline. Gotta go pace pace. But you had a
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: lot a lot to say. Uh, I love it. I
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: love the stuff. I'm what I was trying to do
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: is also fine. We got some good text line questions
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: on that, so I was gonna try to piggyback. At
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: eight one seven text message said this didn't didn't have
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: his name. Also another from seven to three asking about
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: do you think Jabril Cox? Do you think Marquise Bell?
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: So kind of what Anthony said in the caller, those
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: two guys could they could they have that role? And
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: and that's Marquise Bell is interesting there because he has
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: that safety position. He made ten tackles the first game.
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: He was pretty active in the second game as well.
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: Jane Thomas is trying to kind of have that role.
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: He seems like more of a safety man. He was
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: definitely hitting a little too much talking that's that's what
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: unfortunate penalty. But but I think I do think it'll
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: be a combination of those guys. And don't forget too
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: uh mcquamu Israel mcwamou. In the playoff game against Tampa
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: you know, he had a role where he was playing
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: the center of the field and and kind of like
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: a linebacker.
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: It.
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: I hate to say this, but it's true. I think
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: I think it confused Tom Brady to think, yeah, mcwam
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: that presence confused Tom Brady, but it did. I mean,
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: he had like three pass deflections. Just that link there
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: in the center of the field. Is not something that
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: that Tampa Bay was ready for. So it's gonna be
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: things like that probably every week. It's tough for overshowing.
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: I mean, that is a big, big blow, but I
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: just I don't think that it's something that they can't overcome.
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: But definitely those two guys right there that that would
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: be an issue, and going back to the injury though
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: on overshowing, hyah. When we saw the cart, I remember,
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: I remember being told I was doing the sideline reporting
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: for the game. I was told, Hey, he's going he's
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: going in on the cart. It could be precautionary. It's preseason,
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: you never know, and I was like, okay, So I
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: was optimistic. And I looked at one of the trainers
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: that came out and he just kind of looked up
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: at the scoreboard and he had this look on his face,
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: and I said, that doesn't look good to me, that
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: maybe there's more to it. And obviously there was all right,
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: we're going to take our only break. I'm used to
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: hearing first break, Secretary, We're taking our break on this
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: show really quick. We'll be right back with some more
• 17:34

• 17:50
  Speaker 2: five G. It is fast, reliable, and secure, and he

• 19:44
  Speaker 1: Welcome back to Cowboys storyline. And man, this thing's moving fast.
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: I mean like this is the I said thirty minute
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: show because I was like, it's just me up here
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: at the thirty minutes and this thing's flying by. I'm
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: like in the final few minutes here. So that being said,
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna go back to the phone lines.
• 19:59
  Speaker 6: Here.
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: Got another ca Bob from Nashville. Bob, what's up, hey, Nick?
• 20:03
  Speaker 6: A great show? Thank you, Thank you real quick. I
• 20:05
  Speaker 6: understand John Stevens. I really liked the guy. I thought
• 20:08
  Speaker 6: he had a big upside. But what does that open
• 20:11
  Speaker 6: a door for maybe Hunter Lipkey to make the team
• 20:14
  Speaker 6: considering I mean Mike McCarthy likes pullbacks. Yeah, and rather
• 20:18
  Speaker 6: than keeping an extra tight end, we might that might
• 20:20
  Speaker 6: open a spot up for him. I just want to
• 20:22
  Speaker 6: ask that question. Thanks, and I'll wait for your answer.
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: All right, thank you. I got I got an email
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: here from a text from Ryan Front Ryan from North Carolina,
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: also saying Hunter Lipkey could be a guy that could
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: make it through. Maybe it's gonna be hard to make
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: it through the practice squad. So both of you guys
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: are talking about him. I know that that Mike McCarthy likes.
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: He's used a fullback in the past, you know, But again,
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: it's got to be the right one, you know, And
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: I think I don't know first dand I know it
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: is coon uh for for the Packers, but you know
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: it's not just hasn't had one all the time here,
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: and so I think it's just got to work in
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: the system, you know. I would think Isaiah Fant is
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: also a player to mention on this, and and so
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: is McEwen. I mean they play that same type of role.
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: I thought we would see a little bit more at
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: a Hunter Lipkey. We didn't. He you know, he had
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: he had a couple of carries, nothing too spectacular. Of course,
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: he's playing behind third team line. I mean the first
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: team line in the game had some issues too, so
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: you know the third team line will. But you know,
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: I definitely think that it's a situation where they if
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: he fits the role that if you want to keep him,
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: I'm thinking practice squad for Hunter lip Key at this
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: point would be the best best option for him. I
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: mean people asking him, will he make it through waivers?
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: He made it through the draft and no one signed
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: him and he hasn't done anything in two games. I
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: wouldn't think that you would be like, oh, we got
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: to have this guy on your team. So every year
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: we always say there's no way, there's no way these
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: guys make it to the practice squad, and they do,
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: so I would think he probably would, all right, go
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: back to the phone calls. Here, Who we got, Joe Abilene,
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: what's up?
• 22:08
  Speaker 3: What's up?
• 22:09
  Speaker 5: Brother? How are you?
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: I'm good man? How are you good?
• 22:11
  Speaker 5: I'm actually from Stanford.
• 22:13
  Speaker 3: I think you might own a couple of people from Stanford.
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: I know I know a few people from Stanford. My
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: wife is from Stanford.
• 22:18
  Speaker 3: I know.
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: I would say half the town. I mean it was
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: some way. I would probably either know or met them.
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: What was going on?
• 22:25
  Speaker 5: Oh not? I actually I went to high school with Julie.
• 22:28
  Speaker 3: I didn't want to get down now and say unless
• 22:29
  Speaker 3: we're going to say that.
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: That's okay, that's okay, what's up?
• 22:33
  Speaker 6: Well? I wanted to talk about our linebackers.
• 22:35
  Speaker 3: Do you think do you think uh uh, that Cox
• 22:40
  Speaker 3: and Harper are both gonna make it now that we've
• 22:42
  Speaker 3: lost over shown?
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah? I do, Thanks Joe, thanks for the call, and
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: go bulldogs over there in Stanford.
• 22:49
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: I do think that Jabril Cox will was gonna make
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: it and Devin Harper. See Devin Harper such a special
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: teams guy. I think that that he would definitely make
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: it for sure. Now, yeah, I'm trying to think numbers. Well,
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: you got lighton, you got you got dmont Clark. I
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: don't even want to call Micah linebacker anymore. I mean,
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: I really don't even see that happening. But Harper and
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: and Coxing, you might have to get a veteran in here,
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: but I think that they probably will, So I think
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: those two guys are safe. Harper, this probably helps him
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: if he was ever on the bubble, this might help
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: him a little bit there. All right, let's go to
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: some more questions here. I got Cody from Springfield, Missouri,
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: big fan of the show. He says, was Cooper Rush
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: issues an O line issue or did he just have
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: an off day?
• 23:42
  Speaker 6: Hmmm?
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: I thought Cooper Rush was not bad. Actually, I'm I'm sorry.
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: I mean I was maybe I didn't get the best view,
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: and sometimes when you're down there on the field, you
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: don't get the best view. I thought he moved the
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: ball pretty well. Again, I could be totally missing something here,
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: I didn't think. I mean, yeah, let's just call it
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: like it is. I mean, the offensive line, these guys
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: are your backups and they're going against starters.
• 24:06
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: For for Seattle, So that is a challenge in itself.
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: Seattle was a team that was pretty good last year.
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: There ones are going to be better than the Cowboys
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: backup offensive lineman. So yeah, I'm gonna say that that
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: it was any of the issues. But I thought Cooper
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: Rush did a pretty good job. He stood in there
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: and made some throws and you know, found the checks,
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: found Rico Dawell in in the flat. I mean it
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: was a good call. I think for the most part,
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: it was pretty good. I thought he did he did
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: a nice job. Will Greer I thought played pretty well too.
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: The interception was was not obviously his best play, but
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: you know, he's he's running around a little bit trying
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: to try to make plays, and he definitely has some
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: some athletic ability, uh to them. Let's see, do you
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: have another any callers? I think we're good right now,
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: clear clear line. All right, let's go. Uncle Jay from
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: East Texas. He thought Isaiah Land hasn't gotten enough discussion
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: his chances of making roster or what because his play
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: is so unique. Talking about Isaiah Land, the pass rusher
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: from Florida, A and m uh, he's had some moments
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: where where he does he does flash a little bit.
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: Making the team is gonna it's gonna be tough because
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: when you think about every everybody that they have something's
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: got to give, and and it might. I mean, but
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: I I look at Sam Williams and Dante Fowler and
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't make a change there. I wouldn't do anything
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: different with those guys. They would be on my team.
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: So I just think the depth of pass rusher is
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: so good. And then you've got Fojoko, a fourth round
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: pick who's kind of a tweet air there between tackle
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: and and and Chauncey Golston. Now now you're looking at
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: some more tackles. There's just so many guys there and
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: these are just more these everybody I'm naming is the backups.
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: So that's why I don't know where Isaiah Land actually fits.
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: As I mentioned about Hunter Lipke before, I think you
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: could get him on the practice squad. Isaiah Land. Same thing.
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: I'm not trying to be hypocrite here. He wasn't drafted either,
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: but pass rushers have a little bit more value than
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: a fullback. And if he's if he's shown anything, which
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: he has that the scouts are watching this tape and
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: all that he might be someone a little bit tougher
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: to get through. So we'll see, we'll we'll we'll, we'll
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: see about Isaiah Land making it. And I think that's
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: going to be a challenge for him to make the team,
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: but I think he certainly could. All Right, I gotta
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: get I gotta get. I see Little Rock, Arkansas, so
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: you know, you know I'm gonna find that one. This
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: is Brent phil Pott from Little Rock. He says, his
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: question is if the rookies get hurt in the preseason,
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: are they out for the season. Do they still get paid?
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: They do? They They have what they call a split
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: contract there, so when you go to IR as a rookie, uh,
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: it's it's basically a split unless your contract is guaranteed.
• 26:59
  Speaker 3: UH.
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: For overshown. See, third round picks are different, very it's
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: kind of a complicated thing. If you've noticed the last
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: few years, third round picks are always the last ones
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: to sign. I think this year they got through that
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: without any issues, But in the past it's always there's
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: something about this offset language which would come into play
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: with injuries. So, UH, don't hold me to that exactly
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: on what it is with with overshown usually though with
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: a guy like Stevens, he'll probably get like you know,
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: he would probably have like a split contract, that's what
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: he is. But there are there once you go to IR.
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: If you get moved to injured reserve here at during
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: the cuts, it'll happen when when they cut the roster
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: down next week, then he's on injury reserve for the
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: for the entire year. Now, they obviously do have the
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: spots of IR to return. I it hasn't happened yet
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: since I've been covering the team. A guy come back
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: from from a c L. I want to say, maybe J. J.
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: Watt or somebody did that for another team, but I
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: don't know. I don't think that would happen this year.
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: I think you'd probably be on injury reserve for the
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: entire season. So all right, let's get one more questionnaire
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: before we leave here. This is from the text line
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: from the nine to seven zero. I'm sorry, Derek is
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: Derek from Colorado as he puts his name. I appreciate
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: that too. I mean, you're sending these texts. If you
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: can put your name in there, that would be real helpful,
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: Like to give you a shout out. On the air,
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: all right, was anyone disappointed in Eric Scott's play? I
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: don't like what I've seen. I didn't like what I've
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: seen because for the most part he's been pretty pretty good. Now, hey,
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: Drew Locket, it was a great throw. Jackson Smith INJIGBA
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: beat him, which would you would expect great, but Scott
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: did kind of have kind of like lost in the
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: process of doing that. So yeah, I mean, if anyone
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: thought Eric Scott could come right in and go, oh, well,
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: he's got this guy and he'll cover him like a
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: glove and all that, he did some nice things on
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: Tyler Lockett earlier in the game as well. So I
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: like Erics, I really do. I think he's gonna be
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: a good player. He might be a guy makes the
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: team and it is inactive most of the time. It
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: wouldn't surprise me if that's the case. But I I
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: they they really saw something in him. If he wasn't
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: picked in the sixth round, who knows if he would
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: have been picked at all, But they had a really
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: really strong evaluation of him. And and I think he's
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: done a pretty good job. And if you've talked to
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: him a little bit, like like I got a chance
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: to kind of to chat with him just for a
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: little bit. I like his demeanor. I like him. I
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: think he's he's got he's got it figured out. Smart kid.
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: He's gonna be He's gonna be a good, good player.
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: I really do so. I wouldn't be too worried about
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: him if if he has to go and play against
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: first round draft picks and stuff right now, he's probably
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: not ready for that. And and but I think he'll learn,
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: he'll get better. And as we talked about before in
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: one of the callers, I do think that just having
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: Gilmour and Bland and Digs in the room ahead of him,
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: I think that's gonna help him. And I think he'll
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: get better or not to mention, you know, Al Harris
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: is pretty good coach. He's played a few snaps in
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: the league as well, So all right, I think that's
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: gonna do it. That was the fastest thirty minutes in
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: the history of life, right there, So great stuff. I
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: was hoping to get more questions in or more more calls.
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: That might just be the number on how many it's
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: gonna be. Hopefully we can get maybe five a show
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: would be great. So make sure and do that. We'll
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: be back Wednesday. Right now, we're in every other day mode,
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: still a training camp mode, until we get to the
• 30:30
